Adrenaline
Live from the sold-out Yokohama Arena in Yokohama Japan
Monday Night January 17th, 2022
8:00pm EST
Earlier in the day...
[ Mitch Fierce exits the elevator of the hotel he’s staying in. Fierce is wearing a hoodie and sweatpants and looks like he might be going for a jog or a walk. As he passes the desk in the lobby the Japanese woman working behind the desk gives him a smile as then another Japanese girl speaks to her as the woman runs out from behind the desk blocking Mitch’s exist from the hotel. ]
Japanese woman - I am sorry for getting in your way sir but, are you Mitch Fierce?
[ Mitch looks at the woman. ]
Mitch Fierce - Yes, I am. You want an autograph or something?
Japanese woman - How has your stay here in our hotel been this week?
Mitch Fierce – It’s been fine. Is there anything else?
Japanese woman - There is yes. I have to ask you the young lady that came to see you Friday night are you two a couple?
Mitch Fierce - Why do you want to know that?
Japanese woman - You see that girl over there?
[ Mitch looks over at the desk where the woman is pointing to the girl that was working when Aoife arrived. The girl blushes seeing the woman pointing at her and talking to Mitch. ]
Mitch Fierce - Yeah, I see her.
Japanese woman - She was working the desk when the young lady came to see you. She was just wondering if you and the young lady were a couple or just friends? She is shy and didn’t want to ask you herself. She also wants to as you say go out with you.
Mitch Fierce - I will only be in Japan a very short time after my match tonight. To answer your first question yes me and Aoife are together at least she says she’s not through with me yet. I must say no to your friends request
Japanese woman - I understand
[ The woman walks away as Fierce exits the hotel. ]
Mitch Fierce - Is Felix already trying to give me women to give up my number one spot again?
[ Fierce laughs to himself as he walks. ]
Hours before the show starts...
[ It’s hours before the show is about to start and the fans of the Empire are lining up outside the arena waiting to get in when a long pink limo pulls up with the word S.E.X. on the side. It comes to a stop and the diver steps out and opens the side door. Slowly, Joey Ryan steps out with a huge shit eating grin on his face dressed in a white suit with his shirt unbuttoned and all his chest hair sticking out. His hair all spoofed up from hairspray enough that you could bounce a quarter on it. Next to step out is Katie Forbes dressed in a black thing, white leather chaps and two tassels that are dangling provocatively where her nipples are. Next is Spice as she steps out holding a fluffy Pomeranian. Wearing oversized red sunglasses and dressed in a red cat suit and white cowboy hate she smiles as they are flooded by paparazzi who are dying to take a picture of them. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – That’s right, soak it in!!! Take all the pictures you want, because we are soon to be your Women’s World Tag Team Champions!!! Blue Nation can kiss our asses!!! There’s nothing better than S.E.X.!!!
[ Spice and Katie pull their tops up as they flash all the fans their titties as the shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting “the Stonebreaker”, the Lynch Mob hitting “the Lynching”, Su Yim locking on “the Purge”!!! The crowd explodes as we see Godzilla hitting the Goodbye Tokyo, Chandler Hopkins turning someone inside out with the Wrangler and Amber Nova hitting the Nova Driver!!! The arena is rocking as "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons blasts across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics that lights up the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the videotron pans around the arena and we can see dozens of fans holding up their hand made banners, “Godzilla is God”, “Tank is the G.O.A.T.” “Millie is my Queen” and “Pezzer is an Ass-hat”. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico, Mike Godwinn and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening, folks and welcome to another super-sized Adrenaline!!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!! Caristico, what a show we had last week with so much going on as we head into our double pay per view month with Climax featuring the women’s division and then a week later, we present Blackout where the men will take center stage.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It was one of the craziest nights we have seen in a while, but that’s what the Empire is all about right? Expect the unexpected on a nightly basis. We learned last week that at Climax we will see Amber Nova defend her Women’s World title against both Millie McKenzie and Kiera Hogan in a Triple Threat match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s chaotic right now between these three women, even to the point where it cost Kiera her match last week against Maria Manic. We also learned that it is going to be Tank putting his World Heavyweight title on the line in a rematch against Go-D at Blackout in a Taipei Deathmatch.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – One of the most brutal and sadistic matches ever created will settle the score once and for all between these two men. I we thought the Hell in a Cell match between Mitch and Owens was bloody, you have never seen a Taipei Death match!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Last week we also watched as the Cruiserweight title tournament kicked off as Travis Blake and Steve Scott advanced to the semi-finals on January twenty-fourth when the Empire invades Indonesia.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis’ win over Pedro Supremo wasn’t unexpected, but the match between Steve Scott and Chandler Hopkins; now that was another story. Toward the end of the match, we watched as Arik Cannon made a dramatic return by attacking Hopkins. I am sure we have not seen the last of Cannon or this new stable named the Forgotten.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask the obvious question, what is their deal with Psycho Messiah? They seem to be dancing around him like he’s the center of something pretty important. Maybe one of our reporters could question him tonight and get his take on it.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If he does, then he’s playing the long game just like Azazel is right now. My guess is he’s got no clue what’s going on, but he will use whatever advantage he can get to advance in the tournament.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – To end the show, we watched on as once again Massive Mike and Tank went to war against Tank’s son Conner and Go-D as the show closed. Tonight, they will team up once again to battle Go-D and his new protégée in tag team action.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a main event that’s going to be tonight, and to top it off; whoever gets the pinfall will be the new TV champion. That gives Conner only a twenty-five percent chance of walking out of the arena tonight with his title reign intact.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tough odds for Conner to overcome, but if anyone can pull it off its Tanks kid. Tonight, we will see the Cruiserweight tournament continue as round one comes to an end with two more matches. Psycho Messiah will be taking on Kahagas while Godzilla and Maverick clash.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – After what Ito and Shogun did to Kahagas last week I have to believe that this match favors Psycho Messiah. There’s no way that Kahagas can be coming into this match at one-hundred percent. With Godzilla and Maverick, who the hell knows what to expect between the two of them tonight. They know each other so well that they could be twins.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Twins is a very strange word to use when describing Godzilla and Maverick, but I get what you mean. They have been training together for years so their skill set is very much alike. Tonight, we will also see the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova in action as she takes on Solo Darling. It was back at Diamonds are Forever that Amber Nova defeated Solo Darling for her Women’s National title.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody was more shocked than Solo Darling was when Amber walked out from the back that night and was named as her challenger. Out of over a dozen women on the roster what were the odds that Amber would have been the chosen one?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – If there’s one thing we can say about Amber, she’s been beating the odds since she arrived in the Empire and continues to rack up the title reigns as she is working on her third Women’s World Championship. A feat that only two other women have done in the entire history of the Empire. In other action tonight, Mitch Fierce returns to action after that brutal and bloody Hell in a Cell match at Leap of Faith against Jake Owens as he goes up against the leader of the Cartel Felix Escobar.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – We all watched in horror last week as Felix put a hit out on Alexander Stone and Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes put him through a car window. We have yet to hear from Stone or any of his associates, but you can be sure that the former World Champion will have plenty to say.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That leads us to one of our two tag team matches of the night as Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes take on the Guerillas of Destiny.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – As much as I hate to say it, I’ll do my job and say that the Cartel needs this win tonight. They lost their first match weeks ago to Godzilla and Maverick, but tonight will be a much tougher test as they face off against the Guerillas of Destiny.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That should be a great match between two tremendous tag teams. In other tag team action, we will see S.E.X. take on Bloody Mary and Havok. We have not seen or heard from them since losing their tag titles to Blue Nation at Leap of Faith.
[ The crowd explodes to their feet booing as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as Travis Blake walks out on stage and Paul Heyman walks closely behind him as they make their way down to the ring!!! Travis climbs in the ring and mounts the middle turnbuckle raising his fist in the air high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Here we go folks. It looks like the former United States Champion has a few things to get off his chest.
[ Travis motions for a mic and Harvey hands him his. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – You know, I’m sitting in the back and I can’t help but wonder why in hell I’m not on the card tonight. Am I not “The Face of the Empire”? Am I not the hottest free agent signing of the year? Am I not the man that defeated Tank Edge? Am I not the man that put Alexander Stone on the injured list? Am I not the man that you have all spent your money on to come to see tonight?
[ The sold out crowd boos their asses off at him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Last week on Adrenaline, the brain trust around here had me as a curtain jerker and made me face Hector... or whatever his stupid name was in this joke of a Cruiserweight tournament. Do I look like Cruiserweight material to you? I am being treated like a second-class citizen right now!!! I should be pushed to the top of the line. I am main event material each and every night you turn on your tv sets!!! I should be the number one contender to the World title!!! I cannot believe Mitch Fierce is in the top spot. What the hell has he done for this company that I haven’t done ten times over? Nobody measures up to me!!!
[ Travis stops for a second and thinks to himself before wagging a finger in the air. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – The biggest slap in my face is that Godzilla stole my US title from me at Leap of Faith. But that’s ok. That’s alright. I have my automatic rematch clause and at Blackout I am going to enact that rematch clause and I am going to take back my US title!!! At Blackout I am going to win the World Cruiserweight Championship by beating whatever pathetic loser I have to face in the finals and then... get ready for it... this is the big one... I am going to run through the Emperors Crown Tournament, and I am going to lock down a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at a pay per view of MY choosing!!! There’s nobody that can slow me down...
[ “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena as Alexander Stone storms out on stage armed with a crowbar. A fresh bandage on his head where he was cut open from being put through a car window last week by Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Wait, now hold on a damn second Stone!!! This is my TV time. Don’t you dare step into my world...
[ The crowd roars to their feet as Stone hasn’t heard a word Travis has said and he marches right down to the ring and climbs in. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – If you know what’s good for you, you wouldn’t lay a finger on me!!!
[ Stone storms right at him raising the crowbar at Travis who stops, drops and rolls right out of the ring. He back-peddles up the rampway pissed off. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Who the hell do you think you are? I’m the face of this company!!! I’m the man that put the Empire back on the map!!!
[ Stone demands a mic and Harvey hands him another. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Will you please just shut the fuck up!!! Nobody gives a shit about you!!! Your mouth is writing checks that your ass can’t cash!!!
[ Travis tries to respond, but the backstage crew cut his mic off. He slams the mic to the floor pissed off and marches up to the stage. Stone points back up the ramp at Travis... ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – And don’t think for a minute I’ve forgotten what the fuck you did to me. Your day of reckoning is coming bitch and I’m going to put your ass on the shelf just like you did to me.
[ Stone points his crowbar right at the camera. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Felix Escobar, last Monday night you tried to take me out!!! You told me to pick different friends? Well, you and your crew can go fuck yourselves. Don’t hunt what you can’t kill mother fucker!!! Let me send a warning out to you and your boys. I’m coming for you tonight and I will have blood!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet as Travis Blake rushes the ring and clubs Stone from behind. Stone looks Travis dead in the eyes like it had no effect as he grabs Travis and drills him in the mat with the Stonebreaker (suplex lift into a spinning sidewalk slam)!!! Travis rolls under the bottom rope and falls to the floor as Stone glares into the camera pissed off. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Felix, I’m coming for you bitch!!!
[ The show cuts to the backstage area where we see Psycho Messiah getting ready for his big opening round Cruiserweight title tournament match. Just finishing lacing up his boots, he stands up and sees Reverend Azazel, Steve Scott, Marc Fulton and the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson walk into the room. ]
Psycho Messiah – I was wondering when we were going to stop the foreplay and get to the point. What exactly do you want?
[ Azazel smiles at Psycho Messiah. ]
Reverend Azazel – What I want? Well, isn’t that the million-dollar question. Would you be upset if I said world peace? No seriously, everyone has seen what I have been doing the past few months. They all know what we call ourselves...
Psycho Messiah – Yeah, I know; the Forgotten.
Reverend Azazel – That’s right, the Forgotten. And nobody exhumes the name Forgotten, more than you do!!! For months you were held down by the top brass here in the Empire as Shane McMahon squished you under his thumb. Just look at the rankings my young friend and tell me that you shouldn’t be in World title contention right now. Tell me that your career didn’t suffer because of Shane and Legacy’s actions!!! Tell me that it doesn’t eat at you right to your core and I’ll walk away right now!!!
[ Psycho Messiah looks away from Azazel knowing that he’s right. That Shane screwed him out of months of title shots while he held him back. ]
Reverend Azazel – I can see the look in your eyes that you are torn right now. We are not here to force you into anything that you do not want to do. Join us and I will elevate your career to new heights!!! Just think about it.
[ Azazel and the Forgotten walk out of the dressing room as Psycho Messiah thinks it over. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a way to kick off tonight’s show. We have learned that Travis Blake will be cashing in his rematch clause and challenge Godzilla Sanchez for the United States Heavyweight Championship.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Is it me or does Travis seem a little lost right now not having some sort of belt around his waist? I don’t think his over inflated ego can handle not being a champion!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And what about the stern warning coming from Alexander Stone toward the Cartel after the vicious attack last week in the parking lot where he was put headfirst through a car window?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Stone is pissed right now, and I don’t think there’s anyone in the building that can stop this guy when he’s in one of these foul moods. Felix and the Cartel better have eyes in the back of their heads tonight.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And what about the offer made by Reverend Azazel to Psycho Messiah to join his Forgotten stable? Can you see Psycho Messiah accepting the offer?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Jesus, I’m not sure what way he will go. Azazel didn’t lie to him. Everything he said made a lot of sense and had a lot of truth to it. He could go either way and it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Well, we won’t have to wait long as the opening match is seconds away and it is a first round Cruiserweight Championship match-up featuring Psycho Messiah taking on Kahagas!!! Let’s go right to the ring for tonight’s introductions!!!
Opening match of the night
Cruiserweight Tournament Round 1 Match-up
Psycho Messiah (3) vs. Kahagas (6)
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is a first round Cruiserweight title tournament match-up!! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 210 lbs, this is… Psycho Messiah!!!
[ The sold-out crowd roars out with a mixture of cheers and boos as Psycho Messiah walks down to the ring to “The Beautiful People” by Marilyn Manson. He climbs into the ring and poses on the second turnbuckle raising his fists high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Psycho Messiah comes into this match with a very good twelve and six record and he currently sits in the third spot in the US title rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He’s had a great career so far and like Azazel said, what would have been like if Shane didn’t hold him back for months? His record and rankings look pretty damn good, but right now what is most important is that he holds onto that spot in the Emperors Crown Tournament. Right now, he sits in the eighth and final spot, but any loss by any of these men will shuffle the deck once again. We saw it shuffle last week when Travis Blake jumped over Massive Mike for the number two spot. These standings could make a huge difference in who you face in the first round. Nobody wants to face a healthy Mitch Fierce.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs.; this is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red. Kahagas makes his way down to the ring and climbs into the cheers of the sold-out crowd as he poses on the middle turnbuckle!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tough few weeks for Kahagas, Caristico as last week he was attacked at the hands of who he thought were his friends in New Regime.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – New Regime is tired of losing and they blamed Kahagas for everything. It has to make me wonder where not only the New Regime are going, but where Kahagas will go from here.
[ The referee calls for the bell and the two men circle each other when from the back, Reverend Azazel, Steve Scott, Marc Fulton and the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson walk out on stage. Azazel stands center stage while Steve Scott and Marc Fulton bookend him to either side. Shanna paces back and forth like a mad woman with her Women’s National title slung over her right shoulder just itching for a fight. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I wonder if they are out here to support Psycho Messiah or to attack him if he makes the wrong decision?
[ The two combatants lock up and Psycho Messiah sends Kahagas into the ropes who attempts a clothesline, but Psycho Messiah counters it with a Gorilla Press Slam. Psycho Messiah goes for a Curb Stomp, but Kahagas rolls out of the way. Kahagas gets to his feet and goes for a roundhouse kick, but Psycho Messiah blocks it and hits a Cradle DDT on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah rolls Kahagas up as referee Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Kahagas gets his shoulder up just in time!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Beautiful counter by Psycho Messiah as he captured that roundhouse kick and turned it into a cradle DDT planting Kahagas right on his head.
[ Psycho Messiah goes for a Discus lariat, but Kahagas blocks it and drives a forearm smash onto Psycho Messiah. Kahagas tries for a springboard cutter, but Psycho Messiah ducks out of the way and goes for a football tackle, but Kahagas counters it with a thrust kick to the head. Kahagas uses an open hand chop on Psycho Messiah. Psycho Messiah takes Kahagas down with an armbar takedown and follows up with a springboard diving elbowsmash on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah runs into the ropes and Kahagas delivers a thrust kick to the head. Kahagas sends Psycho Messiah into the turnbuckle and charges into the corner, but Psycho Messiah lifts his leg and pops Kahagas in the face. Psycho Messiah delivers a bulldog on Kahagas and rolls him up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Kahagas kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas just can’t seem to get anything going tonight. I have to believe that he is still feeling the aftereffects of that attack last week by the New Regime that saw him ousted from their stable.
[ Psycho Messiah complains to the referee about a slow count. Psycho Messiah sends Kahagas into the turnbuckle and runs shoulder-first into the corner folding Kahagas in half. Psycho Messiah whips Kahagas into the ropes and nails Kahagas with a high knee that turns Kahagas inside out!!! Psycho Messiah is going for the pin as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kahagas kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a knee right to Kahagas’ mid-section!!! That’ll drive the wind out of him!!!
[ Psycho Messiah drives Kahagas’ head into the turnbuckle. Psycho Messiah goes for an Exploder suplex, but Kahagas blocks it and drives a knee to the back of Psycho Messiah. Kahagas runs into the ropes, but Psycho Messiah hits Kahagas with a back body drop. Psycho Messiah hits a gutbuster on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah drives Kahagas’ head into the turnbuckle. Psycho Messiah hits an atomic drop on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah nails a missile dropkick to the knee of Kahagas. Psycho Messiah nails a body slam on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah runs into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Kahagas ducks out of the way and hits a lung blower on Psycho Messiah. Kahagas nails a springboard knee strike on Psycho Messiah. Kahagas goes for a backpack stunner, but Psycho Messiah slides down his back and nails a dropkick into Kahagas’ back. Psycho Messiah goes for a release German suplex, but Kahagas flips over him and drives a scissor kick into Psycho Messiah. Kahagas hits an Asai moonsault into an inverted DDT on Psycho Messiah and rolls him up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Psycho Messiah gets his shoulder up just in time!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally Kahagas is able to string together some offensive moves to score his first pin attempt of the night. Can he keep the pressure on and score the upset win tonight?
[ Kahagas climbs the ropes and nails Psycho Messiah with an elbowdrop from the second turnbuckle!!! Kahagas rolls Psycho Messiah up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Psycho Messiah kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is exactly what Kahagas needs to do right now. Keep the pressure on Psycho Messiah and hope that he makes a mistake that you can cash in on.
[ Kahagas drags Psycho Messiah to his feet and hits a rope hung piledriver on him!!! Again, Kahagas rolls Psycho Messiah up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Psycho Messiah drops his foot on the bottom rope!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I am getting a sense of urgency from Kahagas right now. He needs to calm down and just keep the pressure on Psycho Messiah!!! ]
[ Kahagas argues with the referee, who has no idea what he is saying in Japanese; as Psycho Messiah kip-ups to his feet and whips Kahagas into the turnbuckle. Psycho Messiah charges into the corner, but Kahagas lifts his leg and hits Psycho Messiah in the jaw. Kahagas rockets out from the corner and nails a clothesline into Psycho Messiah. Kahagas hits a double under hook backbreaker on Psycho Messiah. Kahagas whips Psycho Messiah and drives a high knee into Psycho Messiah. Kahagas goes for a bridging back suplex, but Psycho Messiah blocks it and drives a knife edge chop into Kahagas. Psycho Messiah and Kahagas go back and forth with chops, punches and kicks before Kahagas runs into the ropes. Kahagas misses with a clothesline, but Psycho Messiah nails Kahagas with a back elbow. Psycho Messiah attempts to throw Kahagas into the turnbuckle, but Kahagas reverses it. Kahagas charges into the corner with a huge clothesline. Kahagas hits a cradle piledriver on Psycho Messiah and goes for the cover as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Psycho Messiah grabs the bottom rope!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It feels like that Psycho Messiah blew a golden opportunity early on in this match to put Kahagas away when he had the chance. Now the tables have flipped on him and he’s barely staying alive right now!!!
[ Kahagas attempts an Exploder suplex, but Psycho Messiah counters it with an elbowsmash to the side of his head. Psycho Messiah nails a top rope diving elbowsmash down on to Kahagas. Psycho Messiah goes for a football tackle, but Kahagas counters it with a roundhouse kick right to the head. Kahagas whips Psycho Messiah into the turnbuckle and charges into the corner, but Psycho Messiah moves out of the way and Kahagas crashes in hard. Psycho Messiah whips Kahagas into the ropes and misses with a clothesline. Kahagas tries for a running single-leg dropkick, but Psycho Messiah ducks out of the way. Psycho Messiah picks Kahagas up and hits a Death Valley Driver into the turnbuckles!!! Psycho Messiah is going for the pin as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kahagas kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Folks, what a fight we are witnessing tonight against the number three seed Psycho Messiah and the number six seed Kahagas!!! Nobody would have thought that this match would turn out like this.
[ Psycho Messiah goes for a DDT, but Kahagas blocks it and goes for a bridging back suplex, but Psycho Messiah counters it with a go-behind and he goes for a belly-to-back side slam, but Kahagas flips over and attempts a superkick, but Psycho Messiah catches it and drops Kahagas with a legsweep takedown!!! Psycho Messiah runs into the ropes and they each get hit with a double clothesline!!! Psycho Messiah is the first to his feet as he hits Kahagas with a backbreaker. Psycho Messiah climbs to the top turnbuckle, but Kahagas rushes to his feet and throws him to the mat!!! Kahagas catches Psycho Messiah totally by surprise and hits the Monster Driver (pumphandle half nelson driver)!!! Kahagas rolls Psycho Messiah up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Psycho Messiah gets his foot under the bottom rope!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Great ring awareness by Psycho Messiah to know exactly how close to the ropes he was, and he was able to slide his boot just under the bottom rope enough to break the count!!!
[ Kahagas attempts a Go 2 Sleep, but Psycho Messiah counters it with a dragon screw leg whip. Psycho Messiah goes for a sleeperhold, but Kahagas counters it with a jaw breaker. Kahagas attempts a cradle piledriver, but Psycho Messiah blocks it and goes for a clothesline, but Kahagas counters it with a hiptoss take down. Kahagas runs into the ropes but Psycho Messiah catches Kahagas in an abdominal stretch. Kahagas inches his way towards the ropes and grabs them breaking the hold. Psycho Messiah lets go, but not before driving a European uppercut into Kahagas. Psycho Messiah chokes Kahagas against the ropes with his boot!!! Todd Sinclair warns Psycho Messiah to let go but he doesn’t so he counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Psycho Messiah lets go before getting disqualified and tossed from the tournament!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Smart move by Psycho Messiah to let that boot choke go. The last thing he needs right now is to get tossed out of the Cruiserweight tournament.
[ Psycho Messiah drags Kahagas to his feet and hits the Dead at Dawn (Sit-out Reverse DVD)!!! Psycho Messiah goes for the pin on Kahagas as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:12:42
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pinfall, Psycho Messiah!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tough win tonight for Psycho Messiah, but he eventually gets the “W” and moves on to the second round of the tournament right here next week where he will either face Godzilla Sanchez or Steve Scott.
[ Psycho Messiah looks up the ramp at Reverend Azazel who is clapping for him with a shit eating grin on his face. Azazel then nods toward his team and they walk to the back. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Just imagine if he has to face Steve Scott next week. Talk about a conflict of interest. How would Azazel handle that where possibly two of his men will fight each other?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, I am hearing that there is some sort of altercation backstage involving Bloody Mary. Maxwell Shaw is on the scene so let’s go to the back and check in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows a number of EMT’s tending to Bloody Mary who is on the floor screaming in pain as she clutches her knee. Maxwell Shaw sees Gail Kim nearby and walks over to her. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Gail!!! Gail, can you tell us what happened to Bloody Mary?
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Isn’t it pretty obvious Max? Someone attacked Mary and now her tag team match is in jeopardy.
[ Through all the chaos, Courtney Cox walks over to Gail. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Gail, let me sub for her!!! I need to do this. I know I can do this!!!
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Courtney, I don’t have time for this. Plus, Havok hasn’t even heard what happened to Bloody Mary yet. This will totally take her by surprise!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, don’t tell her!!! Just let me go out there and show her what I can do!!! Together we can beat SEX and then everyone will start to take me seriously!!! I need this, Gail!!!
[ Gail knows that this is a bad decision, but she doesn’t want to cancel the match... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Ok, fine. Get out there.
[ Courtney runs off as the show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – We still have no idea who attacked Bloody Mary, but we have now learned that Courtney Cox will be filling in for her tonight as she tags with Havok.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have a bad feeling about this Phillip. Havok is a pretty angry woman at times and the smallest thing tends to set her off.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – We are about to see how it’s all going to play out. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions. Harvey, take it away buddy.
Bloody Mary and Havok vs S.E.X.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – 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 “The Don” Joey Ryan, they weigh in at a combined weight of 283 lbs, Katie Forbes and Spice, this is… S.E.X.!!!
[ “Tattooed Angel” rocks the arena as the two women walk out on stage dressed in what appears to be lingerie than wrestling gear!!! Joey Ryan struts out on stage wearing a skintight black dominatrix outfit just barely holding up his nuts sack. They strut down to the ring handing packs of condoms out to the fans at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell are these three idiots thinking handing condoms out to children? There has to be a limit to what the Empire will show on live TV!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Mark always wanted the Empire to be cutting edge. To go places and do things that no other federation has done before them. Well, here it is. Glow in the dark condoms to children!!!
[ They climb into the ring and Spice snatches the mic away from Harvey. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Poor, poor Mary; quite the string of bad luck. First you two lose your tag team titles to the Blue Nation, and now Mary suffers a nasty assault by someone backstage. I wonder who would have done such a terrible thing?

[ Felix pauses before looking back at the camera. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – Guerillas of Destiny, tonight you have no idea what you are walking into. You call yourselves the Bullet Club. A stable that has stricken fear here in Japan for years. But I look at the two of you and I do not see that. I see two men that do not strike fear into anyone. You have fallen into the same habits of your leader Travis Blake. The man that has failed to hold on to every title that he has won. Failure after failure after miserable failure. Tonight, the two of you will fall to my killers Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter.
[ Felix smiles at the camera. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – Mitch Fierce, I gave you the best possible solution to the inevitable conclusion to your dilemma here in the Empire. You see, you have something that I want, that I cherish; and that is the number one spot in the Emperors Crown tournament. Now, at first, you had seemed to have wanted to do the right thing. To protect the woman that you hold most dear, you chose to give me your spot. That my friend was a wise move. But then, mere hours later; you reneged on our deal all do to that vixen walking back into your life. Tsk, tsk, tsk; you made me believe that you were an honest businessman. Now I see through you and see you for the man that you truly are. The Cartel does not take kindly to people that pull back on deals.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – I thought you went home to clear your head?
Aoife Valkyrie – Yeah, I did.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – And? Did you come back for him, or me?
[ Aoife walks toward her. ]
Aoife Valkyrie – Courtney, I care deeply about you. You have been my best friend since I signed on with the Empire. But I think I might be in love with Mitch.
[ Courtney snaps at Aoife. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Love him? Are you out of your fucking mind? That neanderthal left you for dead after Owens nearly broke your fucking neck!!! How could you love anyone like that?
Aoife Valkyrie – He made a mistake. I forgive him.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Forgive him? Are you fucking out of your mind? He doesn’t love you. He just loves fucking you!!! I love you.
Aoife Valkyrie – I love you too, just not in the same way.
[ Courtney’s heart breaks as she slides off the examining table and walks away. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Then there’s nothing more to say. We’re through.
[ Courtney walks out of the room as in the shadows Tony Tran has been listening with a smile on his face. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, it’s a heartbreaking event when you watch two very close friends part ways. I really hope that in time they see through their differences and become friends again.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I hate to say it, but it’s more than just friendship. Courtney is in love with Aoife, but Aoife is not in love with her. She has feelings for Mitch and that ripped Courtney apart ending their friendship. I too hope they find a way to become friends again, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are getting word that Mitch Fierce just entered the building. Let’s see if we can get a camera crew back there and ask him a few questions.
[ Mitch Fierce has just arrived backstage wearing street clothes carrying his gear. Mitch has on a black muscle shirt, jeans and boots no sunglasses. As Mitch walks looking for his dressing room when out of nowhere Maxwell Shaw shows up causing Mitch to stop who looks at Maxwell and puts his hand on Maxwells shoulder to move him out of the way. ]
Mitch Fierce - You’re in my way Max. Move or I'll move you out of my way
Maxwell Shaw - Mitch I just want a minute of your time
[ Mitch looks at his watch. ]
Mitch Fierce - Questions. Always questions. Go ahead Max. Make it quick. I got a match to get ready for and an ass kicking to give to Felix Escobar
Maxwell Shaw - Speaking of Felix Escobar earlier in the week he tried to bribe you although he claims he’s a businessman just trying to do business with you out of your number one seed in the Emperors Crown Tournament even throwing in there an idle threat that he would hate to see something terribly bad happen to Aoife Valkyrie. You then surrendered your number one seed to Felix only to rescind that later saying and I quote "there’s no way in hell" that you were going to surrender your number one seed. What changed your mind about that?
Mitch Fierce - Two things changed my mind Max. A bitch slap from Aoife and Alexander Stone. The bitch slap bought me back to my senses. You see Max, I thought I was doing what I had to do to protect Aoife. After what Jake Owens and Tony Tran did to her I didn’t want to happen to her again. I thought that by giving up my number one seed that would protect her. Let me tell you, Max Aoife made her point loud and clear. She don’t need me to protect her. There will always be a Tony Tran, Jake Owens and Felix Escobar as long as we are together. Fix it and keep my ass in the tournament which I did which brings me to Alexander Stone. Stone, listen and listen up good. I had originally turned down your offer to watch my back. The Cartel damn near killed you but you didn’t back down and you said you wanted no doubt that when you walked out champion your words not mine that you had beaten the best. I need to fight in this tournament. I AM fighting in this tournament make no mistake about that. I’m not going to let anybody use Aoife against me to get in my head. Aoife is capable of handling herself and I'll be damned if I’m going to back down to a two bit low life like you Felix Escobar. Stone, you got my back then I accept your offer. My dance card is also open for Blackout. Let’s tag up Stone and put an end to the Cartel once and for all then me and you can then see who the best in The Empire is.
Maxwell Shaw - Any words to Felix Escobar?
[ Mitch looks dead into the camera. ]
Mitch Fierce - Felix, I gave in to your idle threat and surrendered my number one seed to you like an idiot. As you can see I chose to take back what I have rightfully earned, and I'll be damned if I’m going to ever surrender it again. I’m number one Felix in the tournament that’s a damn fact that neither you nor anybody else can change no matter what you offer. The only one that can change my number one ranking is me if I don’t win. It’s not my problem you suck Felix. It’s not my problem that you aren’t in the tournament. I’m in you’re not fucking deal with it. I’m going into the tournament the number one seed and I’m going to win it all Felix. Tonight, it’s time to shut the hell up and fight. Tonight Felix, I’m going to kick your ass all over that ring beat you like a rag doll then Fierce Bomb you straight to hell. Alexander Stone, I trust you have accepted I accept your offer and got my back. That’s all I got to say Maxwell.
[ Mitch walks pass Maxwell leaving him standing there as the show cuts over to Cindy Meyers standing by with Solo Darling who looks nervous. ]
Cindy Meyers – Solo, tonight you go up against the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova who defeated you back at Diamonds are Forever for the Women’s National title. Since then, you faced Amber Nova back on November 22nd where Amber again defeated you. This will be your third match-up against her since losing the belt. What will you do differently tonight that you failed to do the last two matches?
Solo Darling – For starters, I guarantee you that I am going to win tonight. You see, at Diamonds are Forever; Amber had me beat before she even stepped into the ring. That was the one thing, the one person; that I never expected to walk out and face me that night. I was ready for anyone, but her. And then we wrestled weeks later, and again she beat me, but it was different that time. I learned from my mistakes from the first match. I studied her. Every move she made. Every counter she uses. Every underhanded dirty trick that she employs. While she was preoccupied with Lady Edge and Millie McKenzie, I was studying her, and tonight I’m ready. I’m ready to show the world that I’m just as good as she is.
Cindy Meyers – At Leap of Faith, you lost the Women’s National title match against the current champion Shanna Furguson and the former champion Lady Edge. With a win tonight, you would remain the number one contender spot to Shanna’s title and be in line for another title shot against her at the upcoming Climax pay per view in just two weeks.
Solo Darling – I know, this match carries a ton of weight tonight. If I want to be in the title hunt, I have to find a way to beat Amber once and for all. I want that title shot. I need that title hot.
[ Maria Manic walks onto the set. ]
“The Maneater” Mari Manic – You want? You need? Just exactly what makes you think you deserve anything? When you look at the rankings, you’re looking up at me!!! Your ass was lucky back in August when you got disqualified to retain your title. You don’t have a belt to hide behind now. If anyone deserves a title shot at the pay per view, it’s me!!! And if you keep running your mouth, I’m going to shut it for good!!!
[ The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim rushes onto the set and gets between them. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Hold on, both of you!!! We’re not doing this right now!!!
[ Gail looks at Maria. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Maria, you won your match and yes, you will get the title shot at Climax against Shanna.
[ Gail turns to Solo. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – And if you beat Amber tonight, I’ll add you into the match too.
[ Maria gets pissed. ]
“The Maneater” Mari Manic – This is bullshit. Why don’t you just add everyone in the match for Christ sakes.
[ Gail points her finger at Maria. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Don’t test me Maria. If you go as far as interfering in Solo’s match tonight, you’re out of the title match at Climax!!!
[ Maria snickers. ]
“The Maneater” Mari Manic – Don’t worry boss. This loser doesn’t stand a chance against Amber. I smell oh and three coming.
[ Maria walks off the set laughing as Gail and Solo watch her go looking none too happy. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, what a huge match just signed by the Women’s General Manager Gail Kim as Shanna Furguson will defend her Women’s National title against Maria Manic, but that is not all. If somehow Solo Darling can beat Amber Nova tonight, then she too will be added to the title match and it will be held under Triple Threat rules.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a signing by Gail Kim tonight. These women have had some epic matches in the past and I am sure that this one will rank right up there. Unfortunate, the odds are stacked very high against Solo Darling that she will walk away with a win tonight. Not many women have managed to pin Amber’s shoulders to the mat in the last year.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our next featured match of the evening. Can Solo darling finally find a way to defeat the Women’s Champion? A shot at the National title hangs in the balance. Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein!!!
Solo Darling vs Amber Nova ©
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following 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… Solo Darling!!!
[ The crowd gives her a mixed reaction as “Feel the Sting” by Kenny & Harley Wootton rocks the arena and Solo walks out on stage. She makes her way down to the ring where she climbs in with a serious and determined look on her face. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Solo Darling comes into this match as a former Women’s National Champion with a record of nine and eleven. She is the current number one contender to Shanna’s championship.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – She’s had a pretty good career here in the Empire, even after starting off winless for what seemed like two months. Let’s see what she’s learned tonight as she takes on the Women’s Champion.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring accompanied by Paul Heyman; she weighs in at 101 lbs., she is a three-time Women’s World Champion and the former Women’s National Champion, this is… “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova!!!
[ 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 alongside her manager Paul Heyman. She flaunts herself off as she struts down to the ring and climbs in raising her title high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the three time Women’s World Champion. She looks to be in phenomenal shape tonight as she is two weeks away from defending her world title against both Millie McKenzie and Kiera Hogan.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That will be a real test for her at Climax because she doesn’t have to be the one pinned to lose the match. The odds of her retaining at the pay per view have gone down dramatically. On top of that, she cannot overlook Solo tonight. This young lady is coming into this match bound and determined to walk out with a title shot at Amber’s expense.
[ The referee calls for the bell and Amber walks to the center of the ring and gets right in Solo’s face. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – I heard you running your mouth in the back. You really think you can beat me? You think you’re better than me? Look at you. You’re four-foot nothen. You have a fraction of my talent. Stop pretending that you’re something that you’re not. You’ll never be at my level. You’ll never...
[ And in mid insult, Solo Darling bitch slaps Amber right across the face. Solo wastes no time and nails a standing drop kick on Amber. Solo drags her to her feet and whips Amber into the ropes and Amber comes back and is met with a spin kick to the midsection. Solo whips Amber into the ropes, but Amber ducks under a pump kick, rockets off the far ropes, and nails Solo with a leaping clothesline. Amber locks Solo in a Fujiwara armbar. Solo is struggling to reach the ropes, but finally manages to reach out with her leg enough to drop her foot on the bottom rope. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Excellent perseverance by Solo Darling to know that she couldn’t grab the ropes, so she used every inch of her five foot three frame to get her toes on the ropes!!!
[ Amber will not let go of the armbar as she drags Solo to the center of the ring, but Solo counters it with a kick to the head forcing Amber off of her. Solo gets to her feet and hits a springboard spear into Amber. Solo attempts a DDT, but Amber counters it with a kneebar. Solo inches her way towards the ropes, desperately reaching out and grabs them. Amber hits a springboard legdrop onto Solo. Amber hoists Solo up and hits an Exploder suplex on her. Amber rolls Solo up as head referee Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Solo kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - Amber is proving why she is a three time world champion as she is keeping the pressure on Solo not allowing her to build any momentum tonight so far.
[ Amber hits a standing moonsault on Solo and rolls her up hooking a leg as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Solo kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Beautiful standing moonsault by Amber to get a near three count before Solo again kicked out.
[ Solo sits up and Amber nails a shotgun dropkick to the back of Solo. Amber drives an elbowdrop down onto Solo. Amber drags Solo to her feet and drives a fist into her midsection. Amber goes for a DDT, but Solo blocks it and hits a huracanrana from the second rope onto Amber. Amber comes to rest in the corner as Solo nails her with a Meteora. Solo quickly rolls Amber up as referee Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Amber kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a stunning comeback we are witnessing by Solo Darling as she hit the huracanrana first followed by that crushing Meteora for the near pinfall victory.
[ Solo climbs to the top rope and hits an Asai moonsault down onto Amber. The crowd pops as Solo pulls Amber away from the ropes as she rolls her up and hooks both legs as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Amazing enough Solo has Amber right where she wants her. She needs to keep pouring it on until she can hit the Tailspin!!!
[ Solo tries a springboard elbowdrop, but Amber rolls out of the way and Solo crashes and burns on the mat. Amber is quickly going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Solo grabs the bottom ropes!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a move by Amber to roll out of the way and get the quick cover trying to take advantage of Solo’s miscue.
[ Amber drags Solo away from the ropes and climbs to the top turnbuckle soaring off with a twisting somersault splash down onto Solo. Amber wastes no time and covers Solo as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Solo gets her shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Both women are trying to hit every high risk move in their arsenal to put the other away!!! At some point, one will faulter.
[ Amber hits a bulldog on Solo as she staggers to her feet. Amber nails Solo with a springboard legdrop from the second rope. Amber attempts a huracanrana from the top rope, but Solo has enough sense to counter it with a sit-out power bomb into a pin attempt as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber gets her shoulder up! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a powerbomb by Solo Darling to paste the Women’s Champion flat on her back for the near fall. You can see that Solo has do her homework coming into this match.
[ Solo hits Amber with a standing moonsault and again goes for the quick cover as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – You can see the desperation in Solo’s eyes right now knowing that she was a split second away from pinning the champion.
[ Solo looks to end this and locks Amber in a sleeperhold, but they are too close to the ropes and Amber manages to grab them. Solo goes for a rolling cutter, but Amber counters it with a powerslam. Amber attempts a huracanrana from the second rope, but Solo again counters it with a sit-out power bomb into a pin attempt as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber gets her shoulder up!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Amber almost made a critical mistake right there going back to the well one too many times and Solo Darling was ready for it.
[ Solo rushes to her feet and goes for a springboard spear, but Amber has her well scouted and takes Solo to the mat with an armbar takedown and turns it into a Crippler Cross Face!!! ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Tap out you bitch!!! You know I’m better than you!!! Just tap out and I’ll end the pain!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – NO!!! Solo went for the kill shot and Amber played possum and now has her locked in tight right in the middle of the ring!!!
[ Suddenly, the crowd explodes booing as Kiera Hogan marches down to the ring and grabs the Women’s World title belt. Amber let’s Solo go as she looks down at Kiera who is now climbing up onto the announcer’s table raising the Women’s World title high in the air like she owns that shit. ]
“The Queen Slaya” Kiera Hogan – You think it’s funny I lost last week? You’ll see how funny it is when I take this from you at Climax!!!
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Put my belt down!!!
[ From behind, Solo nails Amber with the backstabber!!! Solo Darling hooks Amber and nails her with the Tailspin (Fisherman’s neckbreaker)!!! The crowd goes crazy as Solo goes for the pin and Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:08:42
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pinfall, Solo Darling!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Can you believe it? Solo Darling just pulled off the impossible!!! She just beat the Women’s World Champion and punched her ticket to Climax to face Maria manic and Shanna Furguson for the…
[ Suddenly, from behind; the Women’s National Champions Shanna Furguson climbs into the ring and wipes Solo out with a belt shot right to the back of her head. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell is Shanna doing? Is she trying to take Solo out before the pay per view?
[ Shanna drags a limp Solo Darling to her feet and sets her up for the Beast Slayer (Sit-down Powerbomb), when from the back Maria Manic rushes down to the ring and dives under the bottom rope. Shanna drops Solo like a sack of potatoes and rolls out of the ring to the safety of the floor and scampers by Kiera who then screams at her… ]
“The Queen Slaya” Kiera Hogan – Chicken shit little bitch!!!
[ Not seeing that Amber is about to suicide dive off the top turnbuckle right onto her and through the announcer’s desk as it explodes apart sending Phillip and Caristico scampering away. Amongst the wreckage, Amber mounts Kiera and starts blast her with forearm shots. Amber rolls Kiera into the ring and climbs in after her. She drags Kiera to her feet and sends her into the ropes and is just about to clothesline her when from out of nowhere Millie McKenzie gets into the ring and hits Amber with a Slingblade!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, Caristico lost his headset, but I’m still with you as Millie McKenzie just took out the Women’s Champion!!! There’s carnage everywhere as our table is a complete mess!!! Let’s go to the back as the crew tries to pick up the pieces of our table. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Psycho Messiah walking through the halls with his bag getting ready to leave the arena when Chandler Hopkins blocks the exit to the arena. ]
Psycho Messiah – Dude, get out of the way.
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I’ll get out of your way when you give me some answers.
Psycho Messiah – Answers? I think you might be concussed after Arik Cannon hit you last week. You better go see a doctor for that.
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Very funny shit-head. Tell me, how long have you been in bed with Azazel and his two bitch boys?
[ Psycho Messiah chuckles at him. ]
Psycho Messiah – So you’re questioning my fucking integrity. You wanna know if I’m part of Azazel’s team? If I had anything to do with Cannon attacking you?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – You’re damn right I wanna know. I wanna know where your loyalties lie.
Psycho Messiah – My loyalties? I’m fucking loyal to nobody, but myself. Get that through your fucking head. I’m going to tell you the same thing I told Azazel, I walk alone. Now get the fuck out of my way.
[ Psycho Messiah pushes past Hopkins and leaves the building. Hopkins watches him leave... ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I’ll be watching you.
[ The cameras cut to the office of the owner of the Empire where we see Alexander Stone barge in still armed with that nasty crowbar. Mark gets up from behind his desk... ]
The Owner of the Empire – Alex, thank you for coming...
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Just cut the bullshit and get right to the point.
The Owner of the Empire – Fine, I need you to stop this. You can’t be attacking other superstars with crowbars.
[ And Mark points at the crowbar. Stone laughs in his face. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Oh, I’ll stop when I shove it up Felix’s ass.
The Owner of the Empire – Alex, please; don’t make me have you escorted out of the building. I cannot have you injure the wrestlers.
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – That’s funny. I could have sworn that the fucking Cartel just tried to take me out last week when they put me through a car window. Or is that alright with you? I was your biggest name on the marquee for months. I was your first signing when this place reopened. Now you’re taking their side.
The Owner of the Empire – Listen, I’m not taking anyone’s side and you know that I’m not ok with what they did to you. Why would I condone their actions? I will speak them too, but you need to back down!!! You will get them back for what they did to you, but you’ll do it in the ring.
[ Stone tosses the crowbar on the desk with a thud and points right at Mark. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – You can keep it. I won’t be needing it.
[ Stone storms out as Mark rubs his forehead as the show cuts back to Mitch Fierce who is getting ready for his match as he is loosening up his neck hitting the palms of his hands with his fists with a look of anger on his face. Mitch sees the camera and speaks one last time before his match. ]
Mitch Fierce - I’m coming for you Felix! The big question that’s not been asked and you are probably asking yourself Felix is that after my Hell in a Cell Match am I to beat up to fight? It doesn’t matter Felix what condition I’m in I am prepared to fight, to win and to stay number one in the tournament. Fight time Felix. Get ready to be BOMBED!!!
[ The scene goes back to the announcer’s desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, things are really starting to heat up backstage. First Hopkins questioned Psycho Messiah’s loyalties and then Stone got called to the principal’s office for his attack on the Cartel earlier tonight. Honestly, I can’t blame either man for feeling the way they feel after watching firsthand what happened to them these past few weeks.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – For months Psycho Messiah was the target of Legacy and especially Shane McMahon. I have a hard time believing that he would turn into the one thing that he has stood against for so long. And Stone, now he’s the one guy that I wouldn’t want to piss off. That guy has got the shortest fuse in the Empire. Trying to take him out was a huge mistake on the Cartels part.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, batten down the hatches because we have a huge match next as Mitch Fierce takes on the leader of the Cartel Felix Escobar. This one should be good, as Mitch took his last parting shot at Felix. Let’s turn it over to our ring announcer and my good friend Harvey Weinstein.
Mitch Fierce vs Felix Escobar
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 290 lbs, this is... Mitch Fierce!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet booing as “Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva hits over the PA system as Mitch Fierce walks out from backstage and pyros shoot off behind him. He then makes his way to the ring paying, no attention to the fans as he climbs the ring steps entering the ring and shakes the ropes angrily. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The powerhouse Mitch Fierce walks into this match tonight as the number one contender to Tank Edge’s World Heavyweight title and with an unblemished four and oh record. Will Felix Escobar be the man to knock Mitch out of the unbeaten column?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is going to be a huge task for Felix as he comes into this match a nearly seventy pound underdog. Felix is going to have to use everything in his arsenal to keep Mitch grounded and stay away from the big man’s power game.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Pedro Supremo, Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes; he weighs in in at 225 lbs., this is... “The Raven” Felix Escobar!!!
[ The crowd erupts as “I came to Collect” by CFO$ explodes across the arena and Felix Escobar slowly walks out from the back followed by the members of the Cartel to the booing of the sold-out crowd. Felix slowly climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes walking around the ring showing no emotion on his face!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The ever arrogant Felix Escobar tried to offer Mitch Fierce pretty much anything that he wanted for that coveted number one spot in the Emperors Crown tournament, but Mitch out right rejected his offers telling him that there is nothing that he could give him and that he could give him to take that spot. It’ll be interesting to see how Pedro Supremo, Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes plays into this match.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You and I both know that it won’t take long for the Cartel to show their true colors. They are going to do whatever it takes to put Fierce down tonight.
[ The referee calls for the bell and immediately Pedro Supremo climbs up onto the ring apron distracting Mitch. Mitch charges at him and clotheslines him off the ring apron and both Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes catch him before he crashes to the floor. Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Felix charges in with a forearm smash that stuns Mitch. Felix then nails Mitch with an Unprettier and dives on top of Mitch going for the cover as referee Todd Sinclair counts …1 …and Mitch kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Right out of the gate we see that the Cartel are going to play a major role in determining who wins this match tonight.
[ Felix goes for a Curb Stomp, but Mitch rolls out of the way just in time. Mitch scrambles back to his feet and they lock up. Mitch sends Felix into the ropes, who rockets off of them and hits Mitch with a shoulderblock. Felix picks Mitch up and nails him with a double underhook backbreaker. Felix whips Mitch into the ropes and drives him to the canvas with a clothesline. Felix tries for a figure-four leglock, but Mitch counters it with a small package roll-up …1 …2 …and Pedro Supremo reaches under the ropes and grabs Felix’s hands and pulls him toward him!!! The referee has had enough, and he tosses Pedro from the ringside area. Felix is going bullshit as the crowd goes nuts cheering on the referee for making that call. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally a referee with balls big enough to stand up to Felix and his cartel goons.
[ Felix turns around and is met with a massive European uppercut by Mitch. Mitch drives a closed fist to the midsection of Felix. Mitch locks Felix in a massive bearhug, but Blood Hunter climbs up onto the ring and takes a swipe at Mitch. Mitch lets Felix go and now Blood Hunter and Mitch are exchanging huge rights and lefts!!! Felix charges in, but Mitch side steps the attack and Felix spears Blood Hunter right off the ring apron!!! Felix is shocked that his well-timed attacked missed it’s mark and then the referee does the unthinkable and he also tosses Blood Hunter from the ringside area!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holy shit the referee just tossed Blood Hunter too. All that’s left is Mil Muertes!!! He better watch his step because this referee isn’t taking any shit tonight!!!
[ Felix turns around and Mitch nails him with a thunderous DDT. Mitch tries to run into the ropes, but Felix grabs him by the trunks; pulls him back and drives his shoulder into the small of Mitch’s back dropping him to one knee. Felix then hoists Mitch up and hits him with a Death Valley Driver!!! Felix rolls Mitch up as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …and Mitch powers out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a Death Valley Driver by Felix to plant Mitch right on his right shoulder. You can see that he is trying to take that power game away from Fierce. The shot to his lower back and previously that huge back breaker. Very intelligent game plan by Felix.
[ Felix drags Mitch to his feet and tries to send him into the ropes, but Mitch reverses it and nails Felix with a crippling Spinebuster Slam. Mitch runs into the ropes, but Mil Muertes reaches up and yanks the top rope down sending Mitch crashing to the floor. The referee sees this and has had enough of the Cartel’s shit, and he too tosses Mil Muertes from the ringside area and the crowd goes wild!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s the perfect sweep as all three Cartel members have been ejected from the ringside area!!! Now we will see what Felix can do now that he’s all alone!!!
[ Felix dives onto Mitch with a suicide dive that sends Mitch crashing into the guardrail. …1 …Felix drags Mitch to his feet and launches him into the steel ring steps blowing them apart!!! …2 …Felix picks Mitch up and drives him back first him into the ring apron adding insult to injury to Mitch’s already targeted lower back. …3 …Felix drags Mitch over and smashes him headfirst into the ring post. …4 …Felix tries for the Go 2 Sleep, but Mitch blocks it and nails Felix with an Exploder suplex that sends Felix crashing through the announcer’s desk. …5 …Caristico and Phillip scatter like rats as Mitch rolls Felix back into the ring and follows him back in. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This match has totally broken down out here folks. This is the second desk that my partner and I have gone through!!!
[ Mitch sends Felix into the ropes and hits him with a pump kick. Mitch drags Felix back to his feet and goes for a chokehold, but Felix counters it with a rack of the eyes blinding Mitch. Felix drives an open hand chop into Mitch. Mitch returns the favor and chops Felix. Felix punches Mitch and Mitch counters with a big forearm. Felix hits the ropes, ducks under a clothesline and nails a springboard Sling Blade on Mitch. Felix again pounces off the ropes and hits a basement dropkick into Mitch. Felix climbs to the top rope going for a frog splash, but Mitch kip-ups to his feet and catches Felix on his shoulders; but Felix shifts his weight and rolls Mitch up with a crucifix pin attempt as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …2 ½ …and Mitch gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, Mitch had the kill shot all set up when he caught Felix, but that sneaky little shit was able to shift his weight enough to roll Mitch up for what was almost a win.
[ Felix goes for a basement dropkick, but Mitch rolls out of the way and out under the bottom rope. Mitch grabs both of Felix’s legs and splits him in half as he rams his balls into the steel ring post!!! …1 …The fans are loving it as Mitch rolls back into the ring and Mitch sets Felix up for the Fierce Bomb (Spinebuster into a sit-out powerbomb)!!! Mitch motions that it’s over when from the back, Tony Tran walks out on stage dressed in a three piece suit and tie. Mitch slams Felix to the mat as he walks towards the ropes screaming up the ramp at him… ]
Mitch fierce – I thought I fucking killed you!!!
[ Tran smiles as he raises the mic he has in his hand. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – You are as dumb as you are big. You know I’m like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. But, this little war between you and I; it’s not over yet. You see, we have one last dance.
Mitch Fierce – What the fuck are you talking about?
[ Without warning, Courtney Cox rolls into the ring behind Mitch and leaps onto his back trying to claw his eyes out. Tran laughs his ass off as Mitch tries to buck her off like a bull rider, but she is holding on tight as can be sinking her claws in. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – There’s nothing worse than a lesbian scorned!!! Claw his God damn eyes out!!!
[ The referee immediately calls for the bell as he sees Mitch trying to toss her off of him. ]
Time of match: 0:08:53
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pinfall by disqualification, Mitch Fierce!!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as Aoife Valkyrie rushes down to the ring in her street clothes past Tony Tran and dives under the bottom rope. Courtney sees her coming and dismounts Mitch and rolls out of the ring under the far ropes. She points at Aoife… ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I loved you!!! We could have been great together, but you chose that asshole!!!
[ Aoife kneels down next to Mitch to see how he’s doing, when from behind Felix Escobar grabs her by her hair and screams in her face. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – Ah, if it isn’t Helena of Troy. The fabled woman that saw to the destruction of Troy itself. Just like Helena, you will watch as your precious Mitch Fierce bows to me!!!
[ The crowd erupts as Alexander Stone rushes down to the ring. Felix sees him coming and tosses Aoife aside before heading for the safety of the floor. Mitch, finally getting his eyesight back; rises to his feet. Aoife stands between them as both men lock eyes. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – I told you I would have your fucking back!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, what a shit show this match quickly turned into. It has been nothing short of complete and utter chaos and we still have two huge matches to go. The only good thing that came of this is match, is that Mitch picked up another win.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This has quickly turned into the Alexander Stone show as what happened to him last week has set him on fire tonight. It seems the Cartel has picked the wrong man to mess with.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, let’s head to the back where Maxwell Shaw is standing by with the former World Champion Go-D and the current TV Champion Conner Edge. Max, take it away.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Maxwell Shaw standing very uneasily next to Conner Edge who has his TV title slung over his shoulder. Go-D, smirks as he can sense the tension in the man. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - What’s the matter Max, you seem a little on edge tonight?
[ Max will not take his eyes off of Conner, knowing the big man is a loaded gun ready to go off at the slightest hint of trouble. ]
Maxwell Shaw – I can’t say I trust him not to hurt me.
[ Go-D laughs. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Hurt you? He won’t hurt you Max, unless you do something to piss him off. You’re not going to piss him off, are you?
Maxwell Shaw – I... I... will try not to.
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Good boy. Now, continue with your questions.
Maxwell Shaw – Uh, last week we watched as you and Tank took shots at one another before you demanded your rematch at Blackout. Tank accepted that rematch, but also added the stipulation that it is going to be a Taipei Death Match.
[ Go-D chuckles. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Taipei Death Match. Does Tank think I really care what kind of match we wrestle in, because it doesn’t. All that matters is that by the end of the pay per view I walk out the World Heavyweight Champion again!!! We all know that Tank got lucky. That without those turncoats Messiah, Crazy Man and DDP distracting me; we wouldn’t even be talking about this match right now.
Maxwell Shaw – Tonight, you and Conner have a tag team match against Massive Mike and Tank where whomever gets the pinfall will become the TV champion. Go-D, even you might walk out of the match tonight with the belt.
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - That’s right. Another belt to pile on to the ever-growing stack of achievements that I have created over my illustrious career.
[ Conner looks over at Go-D, not seemingly very happy that he thinks he might be champion at the end of the night. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Conner, your thoughts on this match tonight and the possibility that you could lose your title to your tag team partner?
[ Go-D waves his hand in front of Maxwell. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - See, I see what you’re doing right there. You’re trying to drive a wedge between the big guy and me where there doesn’t need to be one. We’ve already talked about this and he understands that as long as the belt stays within Legacy then it’s all good. Do I want to see the kid retain? Sure. But if the opportunity comes my way, don’t think for one damn minute I won’t try and pin Massive Mike or Tank.
[ Maxwell turns to Conner. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Champ, the floor is yours. Your thoughts?
[ Conner glares at Max, before looking over at Go-D. ]
The World Wrestling Empire TV Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge – Where’s Salena?
[ Go-D puts his hands up trying to calm Conner down. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Buddy, I told you; she’s on Legacy business right now. Now come on. Let’s go get ready for our match.
[ The show cuts back to Phillip and Caristico at the announcer’s desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask, but how would Conner react if Go-D was the one to make the pin tonight and walk out the new TV champion? Think he would be pissed, or would he react like Go-D wants him to and for the betterment of Legacy just swallow it and accept it?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Knowing Conners temperament, I think he’s going to go ape shit. The kid’s in killing mode right now and anything short of walking out with that title tonight is going to send his ass over the edge.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Last week after the Cartel attacked Alexander Stone, the other two thirds of the six man champs apparently had a blow up in the hotel and rumor is they haven't talked in a week, before they go to the ring, let’s go backstage to Maxwell Shaw with Maverick Edge.
[ We cut to the back as Maverick Edge is decked out in his flight suit with a white scarf around his neck and his aviator shades on. ]
Maxwell Shaw - Maverick, the rumors have been flying about you and Godzilla's relationship having gone south and now here you stand ready to face him in the first round of the cruiserweight title tournament. How is the friendship doing?
Maverick Edge - Hey man, brothers fight sometimes, I've sent him a couple texts and honestly right now I'm not sure if he's just ignoring them or if Jessica is deleting them. I have no proof either way so I'm just going to go out, have this match and hope things between us are ok after.
Maxwell Shaw - Not to get too personal, but as his best friend, shouldn't you be supporting his relationship?
Maverick Edge - I'd be more inclined to if she just walked away from the Bullet Club. I'm not saying she needs to put on the Sensha-Gun stripes or nothing, but the fact she still aligns with a guy who's said some pretty unforgivable things about Godzilla, tells me everything I need to know.
Maxwell Shaw - What about your relationship with Cassie Lee?
Maverick Edge - I haven't seen or heard from her in a week. She’s out of my cell phone and look it was a lot of fun but I let my brother Stone down and it made me see the light. I'm focused on winning tonight and then making sure to set things right with Stone and Godzilla.
Maxwell Shaw - Good luck tonight.
[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our last quarter final match-up in the World Cruiserweight title tournament. We have already sent Travis Blake, Steve Scott and Psycho Messiah on to the semi’s and now we will see who will join them. It’s the United States Heavyweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez taking on Maverick Edge and it’s next!!!
Cruiserweight Tournament Round 1 Match-up
Godzilla Sanchez (2) vs Maverick Edge (7)
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – This match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and is a first-round match in the cruiserweight title tournament. Coming down the aisle, from Anaheim, California and weighing in at 180lbs, he is “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge!!!
[ “Highway to the Danger zone” blares through the arena as he crowd goes wild. Maverick walks out and poses on the ramp as the winds blow his scarf around and he scans the crowd. He suddenly goes running to the ring as the pyro blows on the ramp behind him like he's trying to outrun a bomber, he suddenly flies in the air over the top rope and lands on his feet. He stands mid-ring and gives the camera a big thumbs up in a smile as two more bomb blasts go off behind him. ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent…
[ Before any announcement can be made Brutus Beefcake's music is suddenly heard and out on the stage a replica of his old Barbershop talk show is rolled out. In the shop stands Jessica McKay dressed as Brutus. A dark haired Latino man with a kickass beard dressed as Shawn Michaels from the Barbershop when he turned on Marty Jannetty stands next to her. Maverick stands in the ring watching. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Is that ...are they just not expecting Maverick to get this?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It certainly is pretty obvious and honestly makes me a little sad if this is the way Godzilla has chosen things to go.
Jessica McKay - Now, Godzilla, things between you and Maverick have obviously been a little tense lately.
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Baby, when a man is supposed to be someone's friend, he needs to understand he might not always date who that guy likes. But, if you’re a true friend, you just bite the bullet and stand by them. Now Maverick, I see you standing down there, why don't you just come up here and let’s talk this out.
[ Maverick starts to get out of the ring, but the referee stops him. He seems to be trying to explain something to him, but Maverick pushes him off and makes his way back up the ramp and goes to the Barbershop. ]
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Now Maverick, I love you like a brother man. We've traveled this world together, we've won belts together, we've had each other’s backs for as long as I can remember. Now all I need from you man, is just an apology to Jessica for the way you've been treating her, and a hug and I'll forfeit this match and we can go try and make things up with Stone.
[ Maverick takes the mic and rubs his chin. ]
“Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You know what man, in the spirit of being best friends, I'll just say, Jessica, I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you and I'm going to work on it. Now, give me a hug brother.
[ The two hug but the crowd carries an uneasy silence. They then pose with their arms raised in victory, when Godzilla goes to hit Maverick with the expected super kick, but Maverick moves. Godzilla stops short of hitting Jessica and stares at her confused. Maverick grabs him by the back of his leather jacket and tosses him through the Barbershop window. Maverick goes after Jessica McKay, but she runs down the ramp towards the ring. Maverick proceeds to take off his flight suit and reveal Triple H inspired gear and points to his head indicating he's the smart one. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Godzilla with the worst surprise attack in history, apparently so bad Maverick has had his counterattack planned out enough to have gear made.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I guess when you really know a guy and have a fighter pilots sense of danger, anything is possible?
[ Godzilla, bleeding from the glass cuts gets to his feet as Maverick runs and dives through the window and takes Godzilla down. He starts pummeling him with fast rights, he grabs Godzilla by his hair and picks him up to his feet and drags him to the edge of the stage and tosses him off the stage through a table below. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holy shit, that's his best friend!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – In wrestling, you hit your friends harder, but wow, Maverick is incensed right now.
[ Maverick stands at the edge of the ramp, he shoots his fingers in the air Hardy Boyz style and leaps off and hits Godzilla with a Swanton Bomb from the top of the ramp. Both men lay for a minute but Maverick quickly gets to his feet as Godzilla rolls in agony on the ground. Maverick picks up Godzilla who can't even stand all the way up and tosses him into the guardrail. Maverick builds up some steam and hits Godzilla with a running mafia kick to the side of the head that sends the US champion down to his hands and knees. Maverick hops up on the guardrail and hits a double stomp to Godzilla's back flattening him to the ground. Maverick looks like a manic as he grabs Godzilla's leather jacket and drags him to his feet and tosses him onto the ramp. Godzilla starts crawling towards the back to get away from Maverick, but Maverick grabs him by his leg and starts dragging him to the ring leaving a trail of blood behind them. Jessica McKay stops Maverick at the bottom of the ramp and is pleading for him to let up on Godzilla. Maverick lets go of his foot and Godzilla just goes limp. Maverick grabs Jessica by her hair and starts shouting at her about being the group’s Yoko. Godzilla staggers to his feet, he goes to grab Maverick who nails him with a back elbow and releases Jessica at the same time. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, Maverick tonight has chosen violence and I'm honestly just at a loss here. These two have been a high point in the Empire this last year and I can't believe it's coming to this.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – They say all good things end Phil, but this has been shocking.
[ Godzilla is laying on the ramp begging Maverick to ease up as now his nose sits crooked and more blood is spewing from him. Maverick grabs the front of Godzilla's jacket, spins around and Judo throws him into the ring apron. Godzilla hits with a sickening thud and lands on all fours. Godzilla seems shocked at what Maverick is doing to him. Maverick shouts at him. ]
“Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - So, you wanted to be a heel?
[ Godzilla pulls himself up to his feet as Maverick again grabs him by his jacket and does a spin, but Godzilla smacks his hands to the side and drives his head down hard onto Maverick's nose. Maverick spews blood from his nose as he falls onto the guardrail. Godzilla takes off his leather jacket, Maverick moves forward and Godzilla hits him with a superkick from out of nowhere, Maverick goes over the guardrail into the front row. Jessica tosses Godzilla a bottle of water and he pours it over his head and clears some of the blood off his face, Maverick gets up in a daze as Godzilla leaps onto and off the guardrail and spears Maverick to the ground. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Godzilla gets his senses back at a good time here.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Probably a good time to remind people this match hasn't even officially started, but the referee is giving them a ton of leeway since it's a tournament match.
[ Godzilla and Maverick are rolling around like kids trading punches and going down the aisle. Maverick slams Godzilla's head hard on the ground and then gets to his feet and walks to the end of the aisle and onto the stairway. He seems to be checking his nose as Godzilla gets to his feet. Maverick comes at him, but Godzilla suddenly unleashes a series of karate strikes that catches Maverick off guard. Godzilla is hitting him everywhere and lands a solid front kick to Maverick's knee that throws him off balance, he follows up with a spin kick to the stomach and Maverick drops down and Godzilla hits him with a spin kick to his head. Maverick falls hard onto the stone steps. Godzilla advances on him but Maverick fires back a mule kick that sends Godzilla crashing down the aisle. Maverick begins sliding backwards up the steps in the arena going deep into the crowd. Godzilla grabs a chair from a fan and starts to follow, Maverick has the high ground and runs down three stairs and jumps expecting to catch Godzilla off guard, but Godzilla moves and Maverick crashes down the final few stairs back to the arena floor. He grabs at his shoulder and yells in pain and at his own stupidity. Godzilla runs up the stairs and comes flying down them, jumping from the second to the bottom and using the chair like a skateboard double stomps it onto Maverick's head. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – OH wow, that was deadly, he could kill him with a move like that.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Neither man has shown any regard for the others life tonight, this is amazing.
[ Godzilla picks up the very out of it Maverick and puts him over his shoulder and carries him to the ring. Jessica helps him transfer over the guard rail and they finally roll Maverick into the ring. Godzilla gets in, wiping the blood from his face as the referee checks on a very out of it Maverick. Maverick sits up though and tells the referee he's good as he pulls himself to his feet. The referee rings the bell and this match finally officially starts. Maverick starts to walk forward and falls to his knees. Godzilla stands in the corner and shakes his head and shows remorse, even seems to be crying a little, he starts stomping his foot to signal sweet Kaiju Music, Maverick stumbles to his feet, Godzilla looks at him and shouts...
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - I love you, and I'm sorry.
[ Maverick raises his fists and stumbles as Godzilla comes for Sweet Kaiju Music (Superkick), but Maverick ducks it and Godzilla nails the referee. Godzilla's eyes are huge as he stares at the downed referee, Maverick grabs his arms from behind and quickly hits him with a Killswitch. Godzilla lays on his stomach, Maverick quickly moves and locks him into Cattle Mutilation, in the center ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – An amazing turn of events as Maverick, who seemed done, has found another life and has Godzilla locked in submission with no real hope of escaping.
[ Jessica McKay starts to get into the ring but suddenly Tank Edge is ringside and pulls her down. He backs her into a corner and is yelling something at her as she starts to cry and point at the ring, but Tank won't hear it. Godzilla is tapping and verbally submitting now but Maverick knows the referee is down and won't release till he hears the bell, suddenly Cassie Lee runs down to ringside, she walks up to Maverick and stomps his balls. He releases the hold and stares at her as he cups his jewels on his knees. She screams something at him, as Tank gets in the ring and chases her off. Both Mean Girls meet in the aisle and hug, as Tank stands in front of them and shakes his head. Godzilla has gotten to his feet and quickly blasts Maverick in the back of the head with a shining wizard. He drags him to a corner and flies up to the top, the referee is getting back to his feet as Godzilla hits the Goodbye Tokyo (top rope double stomp) on Maverick. He covers for the …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – Your winner of this match by pinfall and advancing to the next round, Godzilla Sanchez!!
[ Godzilla stands in the ring and looks down at the defeated Maverick. Tank has gotten in the ring and checks on Maverick before saying something to Godzilla. Godzilla shrugs as Cassie and Jessica enter the ring with Godzilla's belts. He takes both girls in his arms and plants a big kiss on both of them. Tank tells him to scram, but Godzilla gets a microphone instead. ]
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Tank, I'm done man. I've been your loyal servant for too long and it's time I start being me. Today, Godzilla Sanchez the bumbling goof died with my friendship with Maverick. From this day forth, I got two belts, I'm banging two smoking hot women and I'm worth billions, Godzilla is dead, I'm now “El Guapo' Greyson Suave!!!
[ Tank shakes his head as Maverick is starting to sit up. Greyson Suave and the Mean Girls exit the ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Greyson Suave? That sounds like some sort of shampoo commercial!!! Is this another EMPIRESHOP.COM spoof? Are we being Punk’d? As Ashton Kutcher here?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t think we are being Punk’d partner. I think that the Mean Girls are deep inside Godzilla, er... Greyson Suave’s head. Now he moves on to the semi-finals next week right here on Adrenaline to take on Psycho Messiah while Steve Scott is now slated to take on Travis Blake in the other semi-final match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I wouldn’t have the World Cruiserweight title tournament end any other way. The top four men have made it to the semi-finals where the two men that come out on top next week will meet at Blackout for the World Cruiserweight Championship. Can you imagine if Greyson Suave walks out of Blackout with three belts? Have we ever seen that in the Empire?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I think that the burning question that I have is what does Travis and Amber think about the Mean Girls bedding down with Greyson Suave this close to the pay per view? This cannot be sitting well with the leader of the Bullet Club one bit.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – No it cannot. Folks, it’s time for the match that we have all been waiting for. It’s main event time and it’s a doozy as the TV title is on the line in tag team action as Tank and Massive Mike team up to take on Go-D and the reigning champion Conner Edge. I cannot wait to see how this match goes down tonight. The odds are heavily stacked against Conner to retain tonight as three other men could walk out the champion. Let’s go back to the ring one last time and join my friend Harvey Weinstein in the ring for the final introductions of the evening.
In the Main Event
For the W.W.E. TV Championship
Whoever gets the pinfall is the TV Champion
Tank Edge © and Massive Mike vs Conner Edge © and Go-D
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit or TV time remaining!!! Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by Reverend Odom; he weighs in at 252 lbs., this is... the World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy as “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena as the legendary Tank Edge walks out on stage followed by his long-time manager Reverend Odom. Tank high fives all his fans as he walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring raising his World title belt in the air high over-head. Reverend Odom stays at ringside giving Tank some last minute advice as he waits for Tanks tag team partner to make his way out to the ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tank looks to be in great shape tonight heading into his big title match against Go-D where both men are going to have their hands encased in glass shards.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have never partaken in a Taipei Death Match before, but I have seen enough to know that both men will be stretchered out of the arena that night due to the amount of blood that will be lost. This is how much the World title means to both men. This is what each of them will go through to be called World Champion.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his tag team partner!!! Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Mike Thompson and Chris Simmons; he weighs 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, Massive Mike; walks out from the back followed by Messiah and Crazy man dressed in jeans and wearing Massive Mike tee-shirts that are flying off the shelves at EMPIRESHOP.COM!!! The crowd begins their chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – Mike!!! Mike!!! Mike!!!
[ Mike motions for Messiah and Crazy man to follow him as they all powerwalk down to the ring and climb in. Mike bounces on the bottom rope, pumping up the sold-out crowd and the ring ropes barely support his weight. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Massive Make is a huge young man. For the past month or so he has been hot on the heels of the TV Champion Conner Edge and you just get then sense that he is ready to break out and win gold!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You’re right, the kids the total package; not to mention that he is going to be a force in the Emperor’s Crown Tournament that kicks off in February. Right now, he sits in the number three spot and if the tournament were to start today, he would have drawn the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone. Talk about a first-round classic.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their first opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 270 lbs.; this is the World Wrestling Empire Television Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge!!!
[ The camera focuses on the videotron as a flaming horse runs across and behind it spells out in flames "The Cowboy from Hell" as “Cowboys from Hell” blares throughout the arena. The camera pans down and Conner Edge stands with his right hand out in the claw position and his brand-new TV title around his waist. The sold-out crowd boos as he makes his way down to the ring and climbs in. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Is it me or does this kid always look pissed off. I remember his daddy always being that way too. I think DDPYOGA.COM did Tank a lot of good. The young man might want to consider some of that.
[ Massive Mike looks like he’s ready to go right after Conner, but Tank holds him back at Conner takes off his TV title belt and taunts Massive Mike with it. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – There’s so much bad blood between these two men right now. It was back at Leap of Faith that Conner got disqualified to retain his title. Don’t think for a second that Massive Mike has forgotten about that heading into this match.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his tag team partner. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 255 lbs.; this is… Go-D!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as the Empire Hall of Famer Go-D walks out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd as he marches down to the ring never even looking at Tank or Massive Mike as he climbs in, posing on the middle turnbuckle; and motions that he is going to win the title back at Blackout. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Go-D is very confident that come the pay per view he is going to take back the World Championship. I have to wonder though, that if he loses that match; will he fall completely out of the Emperor’s Crown tournament and not get a shot at it again?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Depending on how the other matches play out between now and including the pay per view, yes, he could find himself bounced right out of the tournament if he loses to Tank. That would be a crushing loss for him on both ends of the spectrum.
[ The referee calls for the bell as Go-D and Massive Mike start the match off. Go-D smiles at Massive Mike and taunts him... ]
Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Ok fat boy, let’s see what you got.
[ They lock up and Go-D tries to whip Massive Mike into the ropes, but Massive Mike reverses it and sends Go-D in. Go-D comes off the ropes and misses with a clothesline. Go-D rockets off the far ropes and comes back only to get hit by a charging axhandle body block!!! Go-D tries to roll under the ropes, but Massive Mike drags him back up and sends him into the ropes. Go-D ducks under a clothesline, comes back off the far ropes and drills a clothesline of his own onto Massive Mike. Go-D measures him up and drills an elbow shot into Massive Mike’s chest. Go-D goes for first pin of the night, but Ken Peterson sees Mike’s foot under the ropes and waves it off. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Great perception by Head Referee Ken Peterson to see Mikes foot under the ropes and stopping the count.
[ Go-D tags out to Conner Edge. Conner and Go-D whip Massive Mike into the ropes and they hit Massive Mike with a double chop on the return. Conner and Go-D drill Massive Mike with a double fist to the midsection. Conner and Go-D hit Massive Mike with a double DDT. Go-D leaves the ring. Conner whips Massive Mike into the turnbuckle and Massive Mike comes back and is met with a kick to the midsection. Conner runs into the ropes going for a scissors kick, but Massive Mike drills Conner with a clothesline. Conner drives a fist to the midsection of Massive Mike. Conner delivers a European uppercut onto Massive Mike. Massive Mike tries to whip Conner into the turnbuckle, but Conner reverses it and sends Mike in. Conner charges into the corner, but Massive Mike moves out of the way and Conner rams the ring post shoulder first!!! Massive Mike tags out to Tank. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Here we go. Father versus son. There is a level of hatred between these two that dates back a long way.
[ Conner staggers out of the corner holding his shoulder as Tank hits a belly-to-back suplex on Conner quickly gets back to his feet as both men start unloading on one another before Tank whips Conner into the ropes and levels him with a clothesline. Conner needs a time out as he rolls under the bottom rope and falls out of the ring. ...1 ...Tank measures him up and leaps onto him with a diving shoulderblock off the ring apron ...2 ...!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – His son or not, Tank is not holding back. When he looks at Conner, he only sees just another wrestler, not his son.
[ Tank tries to pick Conner up, but Conner counters him with a kneelift. ...3 ...Conner unmercifully launches Tank into the steel ringsteps that explode apart on impact!!! ...4 ...Go-D comes and kicks Tank. Massive Mike comes over and lays out Go-D with a running clothesline. ...5 ...Tank leaps off the bottom section of the ring steps and hits a diving elbowsmash into Conner. ...6 ...Tank picks Conner up and Flapjacks him face first off of the ring apron!!! ...7 ...The crowd cringes as Conners head snaps back from the impact. Tank rolls Conner back into the ring. Tank goes for the cover as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Go-D dives in to make the save!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My God, that Flapjack nearly decapitated Conner as his head whipped backwards from the impact with the ring apron. There is zero padding out there.
[ Tank drags Conner to his feet and drills his head into the turnbuckle. Tank locks Conner in a forearm choke in the corner as Ken Peterson warns Tank to let go. Tank Refuses and just screams in Conners face. ]
“The Ring General" Tank Edge - It didn't have to be this way!!! Why did you have to side with him?!
[ Tank will not let go so Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and finally Tank lets go and tags out to Massive Mike. Massive Mike sends Conner into the ropes, but Conner rockets off with a flying shoulder tackle that lays Massive Mike out. Conner is going for the cover as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Massive Mike kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – We have barely scratched the surface of this match, but all four men are not holding anything back. They each have their own agendas tonight.
[ Conner tags out to Go-D. Go-D and Massive Mike go back and forth exchanging huge chops and punches. Go-D tries for a European uppercut, but Massive Mike blocks out of the way. Tank enters the ring and they whip Go-D into the ropes going for a double kick to the midsection, but he counters it with a double clothesline that takes them both down. Tank rolls out of the ring. Go-D drills Massive Mike with a pump kick. Go-D drives a fist to the midsection of Massive Mike. Go-D hits the ropes and drills a spear into Massive Mike.

Conner enters the ring and they whip Tank into the ropes and hit Tank with a double elbowsmash and follow it up with a double fist to the midsection. Conner leaves the ring. Go-D delivers an open hand chop on Tank, but Tank flinch as his chest starts to blister. Go-D runs into the ropes and attempts a running knee strike, but Tank catches him and nails a release German Suplex into the turnbuckles!!! Tank picks Go-D up and goes for a backbreaker but Go-D counters it with a face rake. Tank’s blinded as Go-D uses a small package roll-up on Tank as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Tank kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Go-D was in rough shape, but thanks to his cheating ways and a timely facerake; he managed to roll Tank up to almost steal the win.
[ Go-D is furious as he rolls Tank up for a second time hooking both legs as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank again kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You can see the frustration start to show on the face of the former World Champion as he starts to complain to the referee about a slow count. He seems pretty consistent to me.
[ Go-D measures Tank up and drives a spear into him. Go-D covers Tank as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a great match we are seeing Caristico. Two of the Empires greatest ever teaming with the future of the Empire in Massive Mike and Conner Edge. You will only see matches like this in the Empire!!!
[ Go-D smiles as he drags Tank to his feet and whips him into the ropes, but Tank comes off and drills a running knee strike into Go-D. Tank tries to smash Go-D’s head into the turnbuckle, but Go-D reverses it and sends tank head first in!!!

Go-D sets up Tank on the top turnbuckle and nails Tank with a super plex!!! Go-D goes for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank again kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What endurance by Tank tonight to kick out of that incredible super plex right off the top turnbuckle that sent Tank crashing right down onto his surgically repaired back!!!

Go-D rolls Tank up as referee Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank again kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Both Conner and Go-D are using Tank’s head for soccer practice. I am stunned that the World Heavyweight Champion is still awake after that last shot.
[ Go-D drags Tank to his feet and nails him with a Spike DDT. Go-D lazily covers Tank as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Massive Mike comes into the ring and breaks the count with a boot to the back of Go-D’s head!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Tank was on the verge of getting pinned when Massive Mike made the save for his team. Tank desperately needs a tag to Massive Mike.
[ Go-D tries to throw Tank into the turnbuckle, but Tank reverses it and charges into the corner going for a massive European Uppercut, but Go-D steps out of the way and Tank crashes in. Go-D hits a springboard Bulldog on Tank and
Rolls him up as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank desperately kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tank thought that he might have had the momentum turned when he sent Go-D into the turnbuckle, but things went downhill pretty quickly as Go-D ducked out of the way and hit that huge Bulldog planting Tank’s head into the mat.
[ Go-D climbs to the top turnbuckle, but Tank gets to his feet and tosses him to the mat. Tank hits a backbreaker on Go-D. Tank runs into the ropes and drives a clothesline into Go-D. Tank attempts a gutbuster but Go-D counters it with a front-layout suplex. Go-D sets up Tank on the turnbuckle and hits a super huracanrana on Tank!!! Go-D goes for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank gets his foot on the bottom rope breaking the count. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Go-D looks pissed right now as he knows he should have repositioned Tank away from the ropes and this match would be over.
[ Go-D drags Tank to his feet and whips him into the ropes, but Tank reverses it and drives a football tackle into Go-D. Massive Mike enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Tank and Massive Mike whip Go-D into the ropes and they drill him with a double chop. Massive Mike nails a Discus Punch on Go-D as Tank uses a backslide pin on Go-D for the win as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Go-D gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – So close!!! Nice double team action by both Massive Mike and Tank as they slow the momentum of Go-D down. I still say that Tank needs to get the hell out of there and get the fresh man in.
[ Conner enters the ring and lays out Massive Mike. Go-D and Conner whip Tank into the ropes and they hit Tank with a double elbowsmash. Conner leaves the ring. Go-D hits a bridging Exploder suplex on Tank for the win as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I cannot believe Tank is still able to kick out of these pin attempts. He has taken a hell of a beating in this match as both Go-D and Conner have teed off on Tank isolating him and keeping Massive Mike out of this match.
[ Go-D hits a brainbuster on Tank and goes for the pin again as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tank again manages to get his foot on the bottom rope breaking the count. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Go-D is fuming right now as he mounts Tank and starts to pound on the champions head with massive forearm shots!!!
[ Go-D tags out to Conner Edge. Conner and Go-D hit Tank with a double backbreaker. Conner puts Tank in the torture rack as Ken Peterson asks Tank if he should stop the fight. Tank shakes his head no as Massive Mike comes into the ring and pulls Tank off of Conner’s shoulders!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – We have an epic face-off going on right now as Conner is ready to blow like Mt. Vesuvius!!!
[ Tank gets to his feet and hits a dropkick to the back of Conner’s knee. Tank rockets off the ropes and hits the V-Trigger on Conner sending Conner to dream street!!! Tank points to Massive Mike who is already climbing to the top rope and he leaps off drilling Conner with the Atomic Squash (Banzai Drop)!!! Tank rolls Conner up as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Conner gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – No way did that just happen!!! Massive Mike just flattened Conner like a pancake, but the TV champion was still able to power out!!!
[ Tank makes the tag to Massive Mike who drags Conner over to the corner. Massive Mike sets up for the Gas Chamber (Stink Face) when the New Regime hits the ring and lays out both Massive Mike and Tank!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell are they doing out here?!
[ Go-D directs traffic as the New Regime takes the fight to Chris Simmons and Mike Thompson and quickly the numbers overwhelm the former World Tag Team Champions as all four men lay at the feet of Go-D, Conner and the New Regime. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Tell me we are not seeing what I think we are seeing!!! Tell me that the New Regime just didn’t align themselves with Legacy!!!
[ Salena walks down the ramp with a big smile on her face and the two World Tag Team titles slung over her shoulders. She slowly climbs the ring steps and Conner opens the ropes for her as she steps in and hands Ito and Shogun their tag team belts. ]
Time of match: 0:18:47
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by disqualification, Massive Mike and Tank!!!
[ Go-D rips the microphone from Harvey and pie faces the older man aside. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – That’s right, feast your eyes on the new Legacy!!! My Legacy!!! Not that piece of shit Tank, or those clingy shits Crazy Man and Messiah!!! This is my vision!!! My gift to all of you!!!
[ Go-D picks up the World Heavyweight title and raises it high overhead as he mounts the middle turnbuckle. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – This is my gift to all of you!!! I am the greatest of all time!!! I am your next World Heavyweight Champion of this entire fucking world!!!
[ The show cuts to black as the fans in the arena start tossing trash in the ring!!! ]
Epilogue...
[ The show comes back on after the credits stop rolling and we see the former World Heavyweight Champion Prophet sitting outside Logan International Airport with a coffee cup in his hand looking like a homeless bum. The crowd of people walk by him and not many pay him any attention. Some kind enough throw in whatever loose change they have, others maybe a dollar or two. ]
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Can you spare any change? I’m down on my luck.
[ A single man in a well-dressed suit and tie stops near him. Prophet looks up at him, but he cannot get a good look at his face because the sun is blinding him. The man’s figure is enveloped like he’s looking up to the heavens like he’s seeing Jesus. ]
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – I’m here to do your bidding my lord. Show me the way and I will walk the path of righteousness!!!
[ Prophet smiles as he reaches out with his hand and suddenly feels the warmth of a dog pissing on him. He squints through blurry eyes and sees a Golden Retriever taking a good long leak like he’s pissing on a fire hydrant. He kicks his foot out and hits the dog in the ass. ]
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Get the fuck outta here yah fucking mut.
[ This grabs the attention of the airport security who rush over and drags Prophet to his feet. ]
Cop #1 – Come on buddy, get up.
[ Prophet staggers to his feet, still drunk from the night before. ]
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – I didn’t do nothen wrong. That fucking dog pissed on me!!!
[ The cops slap cuffs on him. ]
Cop #2 – Tell it to the judge.
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – What am I being arrested for?
Cop #1 – Animal cruelty.
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Is there a bed and food?
Cop #2 – Three hot’s and a cot.
“The Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Lead the way.
[ Prophet is stuffed into a cruiser and he’s taken down to the precinct for booking. ]
To be continued...
Live from the sold-out Yokohama Arena in Yokohama Japan
Monday Night January 17th, 2022
8:00pm EST
Earlier in the day...
[ Mitch Fierce exits the elevator of the hotel he’s staying in. Fierce is wearing a hoodie and sweatpants and looks like he might be going for a jog or a walk. As he passes the desk in the lobby the Japanese woman working behind the desk gives him a smile as then another Japanese girl speaks to her as the woman runs out from behind the desk blocking Mitch’s exist from the hotel. ]
Japanese woman - I am sorry for getting in your way sir but, are you Mitch Fierce?
[ Mitch looks at the woman. ]
Mitch Fierce - Yes, I am. You want an autograph or something?
Japanese woman - How has your stay here in our hotel been this week?
Mitch Fierce – It’s been fine. Is there anything else?
Japanese woman - There is yes. I have to ask you the young lady that came to see you Friday night are you two a couple?
Mitch Fierce - Why do you want to know that?
Japanese woman - You see that girl over there?
[ Mitch looks over at the desk where the woman is pointing to the girl that was working when Aoife arrived. The girl blushes seeing the woman pointing at her and talking to Mitch. ]
Mitch Fierce - Yeah, I see her.
Japanese woman - She was working the desk when the young lady came to see you. She was just wondering if you and the young lady were a couple or just friends? She is shy and didn’t want to ask you herself. She also wants to as you say go out with you.
Mitch Fierce - I will only be in Japan a very short time after my match tonight. To answer your first question yes me and Aoife are together at least she says she’s not through with me yet. I must say no to your friends request
Japanese woman - I understand
[ The woman walks away as Fierce exits the hotel. ]
Mitch Fierce - Is Felix already trying to give me women to give up my number one spot again?
[ Fierce laughs to himself as he walks. ]
Hours before the show starts...
[ It’s hours before the show is about to start and the fans of the Empire are lining up outside the arena waiting to get in when a long pink limo pulls up with the word S.E.X. on the side. It comes to a stop and the diver steps out and opens the side door. Slowly, Joey Ryan steps out with a huge shit eating grin on his face dressed in a white suit with his shirt unbuttoned and all his chest hair sticking out. His hair all spoofed up from hairspray enough that you could bounce a quarter on it. Next to step out is Katie Forbes dressed in a black thing, white leather chaps and two tassels that are dangling provocatively where her nipples are. Next is Spice as she steps out holding a fluffy Pomeranian. Wearing oversized red sunglasses and dressed in a red cat suit and white cowboy hate she smiles as they are flooded by paparazzi who are dying to take a picture of them. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – That’s right, soak it in!!! Take all the pictures you want, because we are soon to be your Women’s World Tag Team Champions!!! Blue Nation can kiss our asses!!! There’s nothing better than S.E.X.!!!
[ Spice and Katie pull their tops up as they flash all the fans their titties as the shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting “the Stonebreaker”, the Lynch Mob hitting “the Lynching”, Su Yim locking on “the Purge”!!! The crowd explodes as we see Godzilla hitting the Goodbye Tokyo, Chandler Hopkins turning someone inside out with the Wrangler and Amber Nova hitting the Nova Driver!!! The arena is rocking as "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons blasts across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics that lights up the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the videotron pans around the arena and we can see dozens of fans holding up their hand made banners, “Godzilla is God”, “Tank is the G.O.A.T.” “Millie is my Queen” and “Pezzer is an Ass-hat”. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico, Mike Godwinn and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening, folks and welcome to another super-sized Adrenaline!!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!! Caristico, what a show we had last week with so much going on as we head into our double pay per view month with Climax featuring the women’s division and then a week later, we present Blackout where the men will take center stage.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It was one of the craziest nights we have seen in a while, but that’s what the Empire is all about right? Expect the unexpected on a nightly basis. We learned last week that at Climax we will see Amber Nova defend her Women’s World title against both Millie McKenzie and Kiera Hogan in a Triple Threat match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s chaotic right now between these three women, even to the point where it cost Kiera her match last week against Maria Manic. We also learned that it is going to be Tank putting his World Heavyweight title on the line in a rematch against Go-D at Blackout in a Taipei Deathmatch.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – One of the most brutal and sadistic matches ever created will settle the score once and for all between these two men. I we thought the Hell in a Cell match between Mitch and Owens was bloody, you have never seen a Taipei Death match!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Last week we also watched as the Cruiserweight title tournament kicked off as Travis Blake and Steve Scott advanced to the semi-finals on January twenty-fourth when the Empire invades Indonesia.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis’ win over Pedro Supremo wasn’t unexpected, but the match between Steve Scott and Chandler Hopkins; now that was another story. Toward the end of the match, we watched as Arik Cannon made a dramatic return by attacking Hopkins. I am sure we have not seen the last of Cannon or this new stable named the Forgotten.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask the obvious question, what is their deal with Psycho Messiah? They seem to be dancing around him like he’s the center of something pretty important. Maybe one of our reporters could question him tonight and get his take on it.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If he does, then he’s playing the long game just like Azazel is right now. My guess is he’s got no clue what’s going on, but he will use whatever advantage he can get to advance in the tournament.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – To end the show, we watched on as once again Massive Mike and Tank went to war against Tank’s son Conner and Go-D as the show closed. Tonight, they will team up once again to battle Go-D and his new protégée in tag team action.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a main event that’s going to be tonight, and to top it off; whoever gets the pinfall will be the new TV champion. That gives Conner only a twenty-five percent chance of walking out of the arena tonight with his title reign intact.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tough odds for Conner to overcome, but if anyone can pull it off its Tanks kid. Tonight, we will see the Cruiserweight tournament continue as round one comes to an end with two more matches. Psycho Messiah will be taking on Kahagas while Godzilla and Maverick clash.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – After what Ito and Shogun did to Kahagas last week I have to believe that this match favors Psycho Messiah. There’s no way that Kahagas can be coming into this match at one-hundred percent. With Godzilla and Maverick, who the hell knows what to expect between the two of them tonight. They know each other so well that they could be twins.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Twins is a very strange word to use when describing Godzilla and Maverick, but I get what you mean. They have been training together for years so their skill set is very much alike. Tonight, we will also see the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova in action as she takes on Solo Darling. It was back at Diamonds are Forever that Amber Nova defeated Solo Darling for her Women’s National title.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody was more shocked than Solo Darling was when Amber walked out from the back that night and was named as her challenger. Out of over a dozen women on the roster what were the odds that Amber would have been the chosen one?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – If there’s one thing we can say about Amber, she’s been beating the odds since she arrived in the Empire and continues to rack up the title reigns as she is working on her third Women’s World Championship. A feat that only two other women have done in the entire history of the Empire. In other action tonight, Mitch Fierce returns to action after that brutal and bloody Hell in a Cell match at Leap of Faith against Jake Owens as he goes up against the leader of the Cartel Felix Escobar.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – We all watched in horror last week as Felix put a hit out on Alexander Stone and Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes put him through a car window. We have yet to hear from Stone or any of his associates, but you can be sure that the former World Champion will have plenty to say.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That leads us to one of our two tag team matches of the night as Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes take on the Guerillas of Destiny.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – As much as I hate to say it, I’ll do my job and say that the Cartel needs this win tonight. They lost their first match weeks ago to Godzilla and Maverick, but tonight will be a much tougher test as they face off against the Guerillas of Destiny.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That should be a great match between two tremendous tag teams. In other tag team action, we will see S.E.X. take on Bloody Mary and Havok. We have not seen or heard from them since losing their tag titles to Blue Nation at Leap of Faith.
[ The crowd explodes to their feet booing as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as Travis Blake walks out on stage and Paul Heyman walks closely behind him as they make their way down to the ring!!! Travis climbs in the ring and mounts the middle turnbuckle raising his fist in the air high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Here we go folks. It looks like the former United States Champion has a few things to get off his chest.
[ Travis motions for a mic and Harvey hands him his. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – You know, I’m sitting in the back and I can’t help but wonder why in hell I’m not on the card tonight. Am I not “The Face of the Empire”? Am I not the hottest free agent signing of the year? Am I not the man that defeated Tank Edge? Am I not the man that put Alexander Stone on the injured list? Am I not the man that you have all spent your money on to come to see tonight?
[ The sold out crowd boos their asses off at him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Last week on Adrenaline, the brain trust around here had me as a curtain jerker and made me face Hector... or whatever his stupid name was in this joke of a Cruiserweight tournament. Do I look like Cruiserweight material to you? I am being treated like a second-class citizen right now!!! I should be pushed to the top of the line. I am main event material each and every night you turn on your tv sets!!! I should be the number one contender to the World title!!! I cannot believe Mitch Fierce is in the top spot. What the hell has he done for this company that I haven’t done ten times over? Nobody measures up to me!!!
[ Travis stops for a second and thinks to himself before wagging a finger in the air. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – The biggest slap in my face is that Godzilla stole my US title from me at Leap of Faith. But that’s ok. That’s alright. I have my automatic rematch clause and at Blackout I am going to enact that rematch clause and I am going to take back my US title!!! At Blackout I am going to win the World Cruiserweight Championship by beating whatever pathetic loser I have to face in the finals and then... get ready for it... this is the big one... I am going to run through the Emperors Crown Tournament, and I am going to lock down a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at a pay per view of MY choosing!!! There’s nobody that can slow me down...
[ “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena as Alexander Stone storms out on stage armed with a crowbar. A fresh bandage on his head where he was cut open from being put through a car window last week by Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Wait, now hold on a damn second Stone!!! This is my TV time. Don’t you dare step into my world...
[ The crowd roars to their feet as Stone hasn’t heard a word Travis has said and he marches right down to the ring and climbs in. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – If you know what’s good for you, you wouldn’t lay a finger on me!!!
[ Stone storms right at him raising the crowbar at Travis who stops, drops and rolls right out of the ring. He back-peddles up the rampway pissed off. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Who the hell do you think you are? I’m the face of this company!!! I’m the man that put the Empire back on the map!!!
[ Stone demands a mic and Harvey hands him another. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Will you please just shut the fuck up!!! Nobody gives a shit about you!!! Your mouth is writing checks that your ass can’t cash!!!
[ Travis tries to respond, but the backstage crew cut his mic off. He slams the mic to the floor pissed off and marches up to the stage. Stone points back up the ramp at Travis... ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – And don’t think for a minute I’ve forgotten what the fuck you did to me. Your day of reckoning is coming bitch and I’m going to put your ass on the shelf just like you did to me.
[ Stone points his crowbar right at the camera. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Felix Escobar, last Monday night you tried to take me out!!! You told me to pick different friends? Well, you and your crew can go fuck yourselves. Don’t hunt what you can’t kill mother fucker!!! Let me send a warning out to you and your boys. I’m coming for you tonight and I will have blood!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet as Travis Blake rushes the ring and clubs Stone from behind. Stone looks Travis dead in the eyes like it had no effect as he grabs Travis and drills him in the mat with the Stonebreaker (suplex lift into a spinning sidewalk slam)!!! Travis rolls under the bottom rope and falls to the floor as Stone glares into the camera pissed off. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Felix, I’m coming for you bitch!!!
[ The show cuts to the backstage area where we see Psycho Messiah getting ready for his big opening round Cruiserweight title tournament match. Just finishing lacing up his boots, he stands up and sees Reverend Azazel, Steve Scott, Marc Fulton and the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson walk into the room. ]
Psycho Messiah – I was wondering when we were going to stop the foreplay and get to the point. What exactly do you want?
[ Azazel smiles at Psycho Messiah. ]
Reverend Azazel – What I want? Well, isn’t that the million-dollar question. Would you be upset if I said world peace? No seriously, everyone has seen what I have been doing the past few months. They all know what we call ourselves...
Psycho Messiah – Yeah, I know; the Forgotten.
Reverend Azazel – That’s right, the Forgotten. And nobody exhumes the name Forgotten, more than you do!!! For months you were held down by the top brass here in the Empire as Shane McMahon squished you under his thumb. Just look at the rankings my young friend and tell me that you shouldn’t be in World title contention right now. Tell me that your career didn’t suffer because of Shane and Legacy’s actions!!! Tell me that it doesn’t eat at you right to your core and I’ll walk away right now!!!
[ Psycho Messiah looks away from Azazel knowing that he’s right. That Shane screwed him out of months of title shots while he held him back. ]
Reverend Azazel – I can see the look in your eyes that you are torn right now. We are not here to force you into anything that you do not want to do. Join us and I will elevate your career to new heights!!! Just think about it.
[ Azazel and the Forgotten walk out of the dressing room as Psycho Messiah thinks it over. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a way to kick off tonight’s show. We have learned that Travis Blake will be cashing in his rematch clause and challenge Godzilla Sanchez for the United States Heavyweight Championship.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Is it me or does Travis seem a little lost right now not having some sort of belt around his waist? I don’t think his over inflated ego can handle not being a champion!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And what about the stern warning coming from Alexander Stone toward the Cartel after the vicious attack last week in the parking lot where he was put headfirst through a car window?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Stone is pissed right now, and I don’t think there’s anyone in the building that can stop this guy when he’s in one of these foul moods. Felix and the Cartel better have eyes in the back of their heads tonight.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And what about the offer made by Reverend Azazel to Psycho Messiah to join his Forgotten stable? Can you see Psycho Messiah accepting the offer?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Jesus, I’m not sure what way he will go. Azazel didn’t lie to him. Everything he said made a lot of sense and had a lot of truth to it. He could go either way and it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Well, we won’t have to wait long as the opening match is seconds away and it is a first round Cruiserweight Championship match-up featuring Psycho Messiah taking on Kahagas!!! Let’s go right to the ring for tonight’s introductions!!!
Opening match of the night
Cruiserweight Tournament Round 1 Match-up
Psycho Messiah (3) vs. Kahagas (6)
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is a first round Cruiserweight title tournament match-up!! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 210 lbs, this is… Psycho Messiah!!!
[ The sold-out crowd roars out with a mixture of cheers and boos as Psycho Messiah walks down to the ring to “The Beautiful People” by Marilyn Manson. He climbs into the ring and poses on the second turnbuckle raising his fists high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Psycho Messiah comes into this match with a very good twelve and six record and he currently sits in the third spot in the US title rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He’s had a great career so far and like Azazel said, what would have been like if Shane didn’t hold him back for months? His record and rankings look pretty damn good, but right now what is most important is that he holds onto that spot in the Emperors Crown Tournament. Right now, he sits in the eighth and final spot, but any loss by any of these men will shuffle the deck once again. We saw it shuffle last week when Travis Blake jumped over Massive Mike for the number two spot. These standings could make a huge difference in who you face in the first round. Nobody wants to face a healthy Mitch Fierce.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs.; this is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red. Kahagas makes his way down to the ring and climbs into the cheers of the sold-out crowd as he poses on the middle turnbuckle!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tough few weeks for Kahagas, Caristico as last week he was attacked at the hands of who he thought were his friends in New Regime.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – New Regime is tired of losing and they blamed Kahagas for everything. It has to make me wonder where not only the New Regime are going, but where Kahagas will go from here.
[ The referee calls for the bell and the two men circle each other when from the back, Reverend Azazel, Steve Scott, Marc Fulton and the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson walk out on stage. Azazel stands center stage while Steve Scott and Marc Fulton bookend him to either side. Shanna paces back and forth like a mad woman with her Women’s National title slung over her right shoulder just itching for a fight. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I wonder if they are out here to support Psycho Messiah or to attack him if he makes the wrong decision?
[ The two combatants lock up and Psycho Messiah sends Kahagas into the ropes who attempts a clothesline, but Psycho Messiah counters it with a Gorilla Press Slam. Psycho Messiah goes for a Curb Stomp, but Kahagas rolls out of the way. Kahagas gets to his feet and goes for a roundhouse kick, but Psycho Messiah blocks it and hits a Cradle DDT on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah rolls Kahagas up as referee Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Kahagas gets his shoulder up just in time!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Beautiful counter by Psycho Messiah as he captured that roundhouse kick and turned it into a cradle DDT planting Kahagas right on his head.
[ Psycho Messiah goes for a Discus lariat, but Kahagas blocks it and drives a forearm smash onto Psycho Messiah. Kahagas tries for a springboard cutter, but Psycho Messiah ducks out of the way and goes for a football tackle, but Kahagas counters it with a thrust kick to the head. Kahagas uses an open hand chop on Psycho Messiah. Psycho Messiah takes Kahagas down with an armbar takedown and follows up with a springboard diving elbowsmash on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah runs into the ropes and Kahagas delivers a thrust kick to the head. Kahagas sends Psycho Messiah into the turnbuckle and charges into the corner, but Psycho Messiah lifts his leg and pops Kahagas in the face. Psycho Messiah delivers a bulldog on Kahagas and rolls him up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Kahagas kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas just can’t seem to get anything going tonight. I have to believe that he is still feeling the aftereffects of that attack last week by the New Regime that saw him ousted from their stable.
[ Psycho Messiah complains to the referee about a slow count. Psycho Messiah sends Kahagas into the turnbuckle and runs shoulder-first into the corner folding Kahagas in half. Psycho Messiah whips Kahagas into the ropes and nails Kahagas with a high knee that turns Kahagas inside out!!! Psycho Messiah is going for the pin as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kahagas kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a knee right to Kahagas’ mid-section!!! That’ll drive the wind out of him!!!
[ Psycho Messiah drives Kahagas’ head into the turnbuckle. Psycho Messiah goes for an Exploder suplex, but Kahagas blocks it and drives a knee to the back of Psycho Messiah. Kahagas runs into the ropes, but Psycho Messiah hits Kahagas with a back body drop. Psycho Messiah hits a gutbuster on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah drives Kahagas’ head into the turnbuckle. Psycho Messiah hits an atomic drop on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah nails a missile dropkick to the knee of Kahagas. Psycho Messiah nails a body slam on Kahagas. Psycho Messiah runs into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Kahagas ducks out of the way and hits a lung blower on Psycho Messiah. Kahagas nails a springboard knee strike on Psycho Messiah. Kahagas goes for a backpack stunner, but Psycho Messiah slides down his back and nails a dropkick into Kahagas’ back. Psycho Messiah goes for a release German suplex, but Kahagas flips over him and drives a scissor kick into Psycho Messiah. Kahagas hits an Asai moonsault into an inverted DDT on Psycho Messiah and rolls him up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Psycho Messiah gets his shoulder up just in time!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally Kahagas is able to string together some offensive moves to score his first pin attempt of the night. Can he keep the pressure on and score the upset win tonight?
[ Kahagas climbs the ropes and nails Psycho Messiah with an elbowdrop from the second turnbuckle!!! Kahagas rolls Psycho Messiah up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Psycho Messiah kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is exactly what Kahagas needs to do right now. Keep the pressure on Psycho Messiah and hope that he makes a mistake that you can cash in on.
[ Kahagas drags Psycho Messiah to his feet and hits a rope hung piledriver on him!!! Again, Kahagas rolls Psycho Messiah up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Psycho Messiah drops his foot on the bottom rope!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I am getting a sense of urgency from Kahagas right now. He needs to calm down and just keep the pressure on Psycho Messiah!!! ]
[ Kahagas argues with the referee, who has no idea what he is saying in Japanese; as Psycho Messiah kip-ups to his feet and whips Kahagas into the turnbuckle.

[ Felix pauses before looking back at the camera. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – Guerillas of Destiny, tonight you have no idea what you are walking into. You call yourselves the Bullet Club. A stable that has stricken fear here in Japan for years. But I look at the two of you and I do not see that. I see two men that do not strike fear into anyone. You have fallen into the same habits of your leader Travis Blake. The man that has failed to hold on to every title that he has won. Failure after failure after miserable failure. Tonight, the two of you will fall to my killers Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter.
[ Felix smiles at the camera. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – Mitch Fierce, I gave you the best possible solution to the inevitable conclusion to your dilemma here in the Empire. You see, you have something that I want, that I cherish; and that is the number one spot in the Emperors Crown tournament. Now, at first, you had seemed to have wanted to do the right thing. To protect the woman that you hold most dear, you chose to give me your spot. That my friend was a wise move. But then, mere hours later; you reneged on our deal all do to that vixen walking back into your life. Tsk, tsk, tsk; you made me believe that you were an honest businessman.

[ Courtney turns her head as she hears a knock at the door and sees Aoife Valkyrie standing there in street clothes. ]

[ Courtney turns her head away. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I thought you went home to clear your head?
Aoife Valkyrie – Yeah, I did.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – And? Did you come back for him, or me?
[ Aoife walks toward her. ]
Aoife Valkyrie – Courtney, I care deeply about you. You have been my best friend since I signed on with the Empire. But I think I might be in love with Mitch.
[ Courtney snaps at Aoife. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Love him? Are you out of your fucking mind? That neanderthal left you for dead after Owens nearly broke your fucking neck!!! How could you love anyone like that?
Aoife Valkyrie – He made a mistake. I forgive him.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Forgive him? Are you fucking out of your mind? He doesn’t love you. He just loves fucking you!!! I love you.
Aoife Valkyrie – I love you too, just not in the same way.
[ Courtney’s heart breaks as she slides off the examining table and walks away. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Then there’s nothing more to say. We’re through.
[ Courtney walks out of the room as in the shadows Tony Tran has been listening with a smile on his face. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, it’s a heartbreaking event when you watch two very close friends part ways. I really hope that in time they see through their differences and become friends again.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I hate to say it, but it’s more than just friendship. Courtney is in love with Aoife, but Aoife is not in love with her. She has feelings for Mitch and that ripped Courtney apart ending their friendship. I too hope they find a way to become friends again, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our next match and as you heard from Felix Escobar; it’s the Guerillas of Destiny taking on Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter!!! Take it away Harvey!!!

Time of match: 0:09:33
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The referee has decided that this match is a double disqualification!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It looks like Stone got his revenge on not only Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes, but the Guerillas of Destiny too. Stone is unhinged tonight!!! We have not seen this side of him in months!!!
[ Stone asks for a mic and points the crowbar right at the camera. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Felix Escobar, you piece of fucking shit; your time is up!!! I’m coming for you too asshole. I’m going to finish what your fucking brother started!!! At Blackout, I’m burning this mother fucker to the ground!!!
[ Stone then watches the Guerillas of Destiny stagger back up the ramp. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – And did you two fuckers really think I forgot what you did to me? Fuck you both!!! Oh, and tell that asshole Travis Blake, his fucking days are numbered. You woke up a sleeping giant and now you’re all going to fucking pay!!! I’m “Pure Gold” mother fuckers and it’s about time you all realized it!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Cartel just woke up Alexander Stone and they are going to regret that. He was a force to be reckoned with when he first walked into the Empire. I can’t wait to see what version this is going to be.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are getting word that Mitch Fierce just entered the building. Let’s see if we can get a camera crew back there and ask him a few questions.
[ Mitch Fierce has just arrived backstage wearing street clothes carrying his gear. Mitch has on a black muscle shirt, jeans and boots no sunglasses. As Mitch walks looking for his dressing room when out of nowhere Maxwell Shaw shows up causing Mitch to stop who looks at Maxwell and puts his hand on Maxwells shoulder to move him out of the way. ]
Mitch Fierce - You’re in my way Max. Move or I'll move you out of my way
Maxwell Shaw - Mitch I just want a minute of your time
[ Mitch looks at his watch. ]
Mitch Fierce - Questions. Always questions. Go ahead Max. Make it quick. I got a match to get ready for and an ass kicking to give to Felix Escobar
Maxwell Shaw - Speaking of Felix Escobar earlier in the week he tried to bribe you although he claims he’s a businessman just trying to do business with you out of your number one seed in the Emperors Crown Tournament even throwing in there an idle threat that he would hate to see something terribly bad happen to Aoife Valkyrie. You then surrendered your number one seed to Felix only to rescind that later saying and I quote "there’s no way in hell" that you were going to surrender your number one seed. What changed your mind about that?
Mitch Fierce - Two things changed my mind Max. A bitch slap from Aoife and Alexander Stone. The bitch slap bought me back to my senses. You see Max, I thought I was doing what I had to do to protect Aoife. After what Jake Owens and Tony Tran did to her I didn’t want to happen to her again. I thought that by giving up my number one seed that would protect her. Let me tell you, Max Aoife made her point loud and clear. She don’t need me to protect her. There will always be a Tony Tran, Jake Owens and Felix Escobar as long as we are together. Fix it and keep my ass in the tournament which I did which brings me to Alexander Stone. Stone, listen and listen up good. I had originally turned down your offer to watch my back. The Cartel damn near killed you but you didn’t back down and you said you wanted no doubt that when you walked out champion your words not mine that you had beaten the best. I need to fight in this tournament. I AM fighting in this tournament make no mistake about that. I’m not going to let anybody use Aoife against me to get in my head. Aoife is capable of handling herself and I'll be damned if I’m going to back down to a two bit low life like you Felix Escobar. Stone, you got my back then I accept your offer. My dance card is also open for Blackout. Let’s tag up Stone and put an end to the Cartel once and for all then me and you can then see who the best in The Empire is.
Maxwell Shaw - Any words to Felix Escobar?
[ Mitch looks dead into the camera. ]
Mitch Fierce - Felix, I gave in to your idle threat and surrendered my number one seed to you like an idiot. As you can see I chose to take back what I have rightfully earned, and I'll be damned if I’m going to ever surrender it again. I’m number one Felix in the tournament that’s a damn fact that neither you nor anybody else can change no matter what you offer. The only one that can change my number one ranking is me if I don’t win. It’s not my problem you suck Felix. It’s not my problem that you aren’t in the tournament. I’m in you’re not fucking deal with it. I’m going into the tournament the number one seed and I’m going to win it all Felix. Tonight, it’s time to shut the hell up and fight. Tonight Felix, I’m going to kick your ass all over that ring beat you like a rag doll then Fierce Bomb you straight to hell. Alexander Stone, I trust you have accepted I accept your offer and got my back. That’s all I got to say Maxwell.
[ Mitch walks pass Maxwell leaving him standing there as the show cuts over to Cindy Meyers standing by with Solo Darling who looks nervous. ]
Cindy Meyers – Solo, tonight you go up against the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova who defeated you back at Diamonds are Forever for the Women’s National title. Since then, you faced Amber Nova back on November 22nd where Amber again defeated you. This will be your third match-up against her since losing the belt. What will you do differently tonight that you failed to do the last two matches?
Solo Darling – For starters, I guarantee you that I am going to win tonight. You see, at Diamonds are Forever; Amber had me beat before she even stepped into the ring. That was the one thing, the one person; that I never expected to walk out and face me that night. I was ready for anyone, but her. And then we wrestled weeks later, and again she beat me, but it was different that time. I learned from my mistakes from the first match. I studied her. Every move she made. Every counter she uses. Every underhanded dirty trick that she employs. While she was preoccupied with Lady Edge and Millie McKenzie, I was studying her, and tonight I’m ready. I’m ready to show the world that I’m just as good as she is.
Cindy Meyers – At Leap of Faith, you lost the Women’s National title match against the current champion Shanna Furguson and the former champion Lady Edge. With a win tonight, you would remain the number one contender spot to Shanna’s title and be in line for another title shot against her at the upcoming Climax pay per view in just two weeks.
Solo Darling – I know, this match carries a ton of weight tonight. If I want to be in the title hunt, I have to find a way to beat Amber once and for all. I want that title shot. I need that title hot.
[ Maria Manic walks onto the set. ]
“The Maneater” Mari Manic – You want? You need? Just exactly what makes you think you deserve anything? When you look at the rankings, you’re looking up at me!!! Your ass was lucky back in August when you got disqualified to retain your title. You don’t have a belt to hide behind now. If anyone deserves a title shot at the pay per view, it’s me!!! And if you keep running your mouth, I’m going to shut it for good!!!
[ The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim rushes onto the set and gets between them. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Hold on, both of you!!! We’re not doing this right now!!!
[ Gail looks at Maria. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Maria, you won your match and yes, you will get the title shot at Climax against Shanna.
[ Gail turns to Solo. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – And if you beat Amber tonight, I’ll add you into the match too.
[ Maria gets pissed. ]
“The Maneater” Mari Manic – This is bullshit. Why don’t you just add everyone in the match for Christ sakes.
[ Gail points her finger at Maria. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Don’t test me Maria. If you go as far as interfering in Solo’s match tonight, you’re out of the title match at Climax!!!
[ Maria snickers. ]
“The Maneater” Mari Manic – Don’t worry boss. This loser doesn’t stand a chance against Amber. I smell oh and three coming.
[ Maria walks off the set laughing as Gail and Solo watch her go looking none too happy. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, what a huge match just signed by the Women’s General Manager Gail Kim as Shanna Furguson will defend her Women’s National title against Maria Manic, but that is not all. If somehow Solo Darling can beat Amber Nova tonight, then she too will be added to the title match and it will be held under Triple Threat rules.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a signing by Gail Kim tonight. These women have had some epic matches in the past and I am sure that this one will rank right up there. Unfortunate, the odds are stacked very high against Solo Darling that she will walk away with a win tonight. Not many women have managed to pin Amber’s shoulders to the mat in the last year.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our next featured match of the evening. Can Solo darling finally find a way to defeat the Women’s Champion? A shot at the National title hangs in the balance. Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein!!!
Solo Darling vs Amber Nova ©
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following 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… Solo Darling!!!
[ The crowd gives her a mixed reaction as “Feel the Sting” by Kenny & Harley Wootton rocks the arena and Solo walks out on stage. She makes her way down to the ring where she climbs in with a serious and determined look on her face. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Solo Darling comes into this match as a former Women’s National Champion with a record of nine and eleven. She is the current number one contender to Shanna’s championship.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – She’s had a pretty good career here in the Empire, even after starting off winless for what seemed like two months. Let’s see what she’s learned tonight as she takes on the Women’s Champion.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring accompanied by Paul Heyman; she weighs in at 101 lbs., she is a three-time Women’s World Champion and the former Women’s National Champion, this is… “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova!!!
[ 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 alongside her manager Paul Heyman. She flaunts herself off as she struts down to the ring and climbs in raising her title high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the three time Women’s World Champion. She looks to be in phenomenal shape tonight as she is two weeks away from defending her world title against both Millie McKenzie and Kiera Hogan.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That will be a real test for her at Climax because she doesn’t have to be the one pinned to lose the match. The odds of her retaining at the pay per view have gone down dramatically. On top of that, she cannot overlook Solo tonight. This young lady is coming into this match bound and determined to walk out with a title shot at Amber’s expense.
[ The referee calls for the bell and Amber walks to the center of the ring and gets right in Solo’s face. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – I heard you running your mouth in the back. You really think you can beat me? You think you’re better than me? Look at you. You’re four-foot nothen. You have a fraction of my talent. Stop pretending that you’re something that you’re not. You’ll never be at my level. You’ll never...
[ And in mid insult, Solo Darling bitch slaps Amber right across the face. Solo wastes no time and nails a standing drop kick on Amber. Solo drags her to her feet and whips Amber into the ropes and Amber comes back and is met with a spin kick to the midsection. Solo whips Amber into the ropes, but Amber ducks under a pump kick, rockets off the far ropes, and nails Solo with a leaping clothesline. Amber locks Solo in a Fujiwara armbar. Solo is struggling to reach the ropes, but finally manages to reach out with her leg enough to drop her foot on the bottom rope. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Excellent perseverance by Solo Darling to know that she couldn’t grab the ropes, so she used every inch of her five foot three frame to get her toes on the ropes!!!
[ Amber will not let go of the armbar as she drags Solo to the center of the ring, but Solo counters it with a kick to the head forcing Amber off of her. Solo gets to her feet and hits a springboard spear into Amber. Solo attempts a DDT, but Amber counters it with a kneebar. Solo inches her way towards the ropes, desperately reaching out and grabs them. Amber hits a springboard legdrop onto Solo. Amber hoists Solo up and hits an Exploder suplex on her. Amber rolls Solo up as head referee Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Solo kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - Amber is proving why she is a three time world champion as she is keeping the pressure on Solo not allowing her to build any momentum tonight so far.
[ Amber hits a standing moonsault on Solo and rolls her up hooking a leg as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Solo kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Beautiful standing moonsault by Amber to get a near three count before Solo again kicked out.

Amber goes for a DDT, but Solo blocks it and hits a huracanrana from the second rope onto Amber. Amber comes to rest in the corner as Solo nails her with a Meteora.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a stunning comeback we are witnessing by Solo Darling as she hit the huracanrana first followed by that crushing Meteora for the near pinfall victory.
[ Solo climbs to the top rope and hits an Asai moonsault down onto Amber. The crowd pops as Solo pulls Amber away from the ropes as she rolls her up and hooks both legs as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Amazing enough Solo has Amber right where she wants her. She needs to keep pouring it on until she can hit the Tailspin!!!
[ Solo tries a springboard elbowdrop, but Amber rolls out of the way and Solo crashes and burns on the mat. Amber is quickly going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Solo grabs the bottom ropes!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a move by Amber to roll out of the way and get the quick cover trying to take advantage of Solo’s miscue.
[ Amber drags Solo away from the ropes and climbs to the top turnbuckle soaring off with a twisting somersault splash down onto Solo. Amber wastes no time and covers Solo as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Solo gets her shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Both women are trying to hit every high risk move in their arsenal to put the other away!!! At some point, one will faulter.
[ Amber hits a bulldog on Solo as she staggers to her feet. Amber nails Solo with a springboard legdrop from the second rope. Amber attempts a huracanrana from the top rope, but Solo has enough sense to counter it with a sit-out power bomb into a pin attempt as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber gets her shoulder up! ]

[ Solo hits Amber with a standing moonsault and again goes for the quick cover as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber kicks out!!! ]

Amber attempts a huracanrana from the second rope, but Solo again counters it with a sit-out power bomb into a pin attempt as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ …and Amber gets her shoulder up!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Amber almost made a critical mistake right there going back to the well one too many times and Solo Darling was ready for it.
[ Solo rushes to her feet and goes for a springboard spear, but Amber has her well scouted and takes Solo to the mat with an armbar takedown and turns it into a Crippler Cross Face!!! ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Tap out you bitch!!! You know I’m better than you!!! Just tap out and I’ll end the pain!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – NO!!! Solo went for the kill shot and Amber played possum and now has her locked in tight right in the middle of the ring!!!
[ Suddenly, the crowd explodes booing as Kiera Hogan marches down to the ring and grabs the Women’s World title belt. Amber let’s Solo go as she looks down at Kiera who is now climbing up onto the announcer’s table raising the Women’s World title high in the air like she owns that shit. ]
“The Queen Slaya” Kiera Hogan – You think it’s funny I lost last week? You’ll see how funny it is when I take this from you at Climax!!!
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Put my belt down!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Can you believe it? Solo Darling just pulled off the impossible!!! She just beat the Women’s World Champion and punched her ticket to Climax to face Maria manic and Shanna Furguson for the…
[ Suddenly, from behind; the Women’s National Champions Shanna Furguson climbs into the ring and wipes Solo out with a belt shot right to the back of her head. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell is Shanna doing? Is she trying to take Solo out before the pay per view?
[ Shanna drags a limp Solo Darling to her feet and sets her up for the Beast Slayer (Sit-down Powerbomb), when from the back Maria Manic rushes down to the ring and dives under the bottom rope. Shanna drops Solo like a sack of potatoes and rolls out of the ring to the safety of the floor and scampers by Kiera who then screams at her… ]
“The Queen Slaya” Kiera Hogan – Chicken shit little bitch!!!
[ Not seeing that Amber is about to suicide dive off the top turnbuckle right onto her and through the announcer’s desk as it explodes apart sending Phillip and Caristico scampering away. Amongst the wreckage, Amber mounts Kiera and starts blast her with forearm shots. Amber rolls Kiera into the ring and climbs in after her. She drags Kiera to her feet and sends her into the ropes and is just about to clothesline her when from out of nowhere Millie McKenzie gets into the ring and hits Amber with a Slingblade!!! ]

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Psycho Messiah walking through the halls with his bag getting ready to leave the arena when Chandler Hopkins blocks the exit to the arena. ]
Psycho Messiah – Dude, get out of the way.
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I’ll get out of your way when you give me some answers.
Psycho Messiah – Answers? I think you might be concussed after Arik Cannon hit you last week. You better go see a doctor for that.
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Very funny shit-head. Tell me, how long have you been in bed with Azazel and his two bitch boys?
[ Psycho Messiah chuckles at him. ]
Psycho Messiah – So you’re questioning my fucking integrity. You wanna know if I’m part of Azazel’s team? If I had anything to do with Cannon attacking you?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – You’re damn right I wanna know. I wanna know where your loyalties lie.
Psycho Messiah – My loyalties? I’m fucking loyal to nobody, but myself. Get that through your fucking head. I’m going to tell you the same thing I told Azazel, I walk alone. Now get the fuck out of my way.
[ Psycho Messiah pushes past Hopkins and leaves the building. Hopkins watches him leave... ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I’ll be watching you.
[ The cameras cut to the office of the owner of the Empire where we see Alexander Stone barge in still armed with that nasty crowbar. Mark gets up from behind his desk... ]
The Owner of the Empire – Alex, thank you for coming...
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Just cut the bullshit and get right to the point.
The Owner of the Empire – Fine, I need you to stop this. You can’t be attacking other superstars with crowbars.
[ And Mark points at the crowbar. Stone laughs in his face. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Oh, I’ll stop when I shove it up Felix’s ass.
The Owner of the Empire – Alex, please; don’t make me have you escorted out of the building. I cannot have you injure the wrestlers.
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – That’s funny. I could have sworn that the fucking Cartel just tried to take me out last week when they put me through a car window. Or is that alright with you? I was your biggest name on the marquee for months. I was your first signing when this place reopened. Now you’re taking their side.
The Owner of the Empire – Listen, I’m not taking anyone’s side and you know that I’m not ok with what they did to you. Why would I condone their actions? I will speak them too, but you need to back down!!! You will get them back for what they did to you, but you’ll do it in the ring.
[ Stone tosses the crowbar on the desk with a thud and points right at Mark. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – You can keep it. I won’t be needing it.
[ Stone storms out as Mark rubs his forehead as the show cuts back to Mitch Fierce who is getting ready for his match as he is loosening up his neck hitting the palms of his hands with his fists with a look of anger on his face. Mitch sees the camera and speaks one last time before his match. ]
Mitch Fierce - I’m coming for you Felix! The big question that’s not been asked and you are probably asking yourself Felix is that after my Hell in a Cell Match am I to beat up to fight? It doesn’t matter Felix what condition I’m in I am prepared to fight, to win and to stay number one in the tournament. Fight time Felix. Get ready to be BOMBED!!!
[ The scene goes back to the announcer’s desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, things are really starting to heat up backstage. First Hopkins questioned Psycho Messiah’s loyalties and then Stone got called to the principal’s office for his attack on the Cartel earlier tonight. Honestly, I can’t blame either man for feeling the way they feel after watching firsthand what happened to them these past few weeks.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – For months Psycho Messiah was the target of Legacy and especially Shane McMahon. I have a hard time believing that he would turn into the one thing that he has stood against for so long. And Stone, now he’s the one guy that I wouldn’t want to piss off. That guy has got the shortest fuse in the Empire. Trying to take him out was a huge mistake on the Cartels part.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, batten down the hatches because we have a huge match next as Mitch Fierce takes on the leader of the Cartel Felix Escobar. This one should be good, as Mitch took his last parting shot at Felix. Let’s turn it over to our ring announcer and my good friend Harvey Weinstein.
Mitch Fierce vs Felix Escobar
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 290 lbs, this is... Mitch Fierce!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet booing as “Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva hits over the PA system as Mitch Fierce walks out from backstage and pyros shoot off behind him. He then makes his way to the ring paying, no attention to the fans as he climbs the ring steps entering the ring and shakes the ropes angrily. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The powerhouse Mitch Fierce walks into this match tonight as the number one contender to Tank Edge’s World Heavyweight title and with an unblemished four and oh record. Will Felix Escobar be the man to knock Mitch out of the unbeaten column?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is going to be a huge task for Felix as he comes into this match a nearly seventy pound underdog. Felix is going to have to use everything in his arsenal to keep Mitch grounded and stay away from the big man’s power game.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Pedro Supremo, Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes; he weighs in in at 225 lbs., this is... “The Raven” Felix Escobar!!!
[ The crowd erupts as “I came to Collect” by CFO$ explodes across the arena and Felix Escobar slowly walks out from the back followed by the members of the Cartel to the booing of the sold-out crowd. Felix slowly climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes walking around the ring showing no emotion on his face!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The ever arrogant Felix Escobar tried to offer Mitch Fierce pretty much anything that he wanted for that coveted number one spot in the Emperors Crown tournament, but Mitch out right rejected his offers telling him that there is nothing that he could give him and that he could give him to take that spot. It’ll be interesting to see how Pedro Supremo, Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes plays into this match.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You and I both know that it won’t take long for the Cartel to show their true colors. They are going to do whatever it takes to put Fierce down tonight.
[ The referee calls for the bell and immediately Pedro Supremo climbs up onto the ring apron distracting Mitch. Mitch charges at him and clotheslines him off the ring apron and both Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes catch him before he crashes to the floor. Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, Felix charges in with a forearm smash that stuns Mitch. Felix then nails Mitch with an Unprettier and dives on top of Mitch going for the cover as referee Todd Sinclair counts …1 …and Mitch kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Right out of the gate we see that the Cartel are going to play a major role in determining who wins this match tonight.
[ Felix goes for a Curb Stomp, but Mitch rolls out of the way just in time. Mitch scrambles back to his feet and they lock up. Mitch sends Felix into the ropes, who rockets off of them and hits Mitch with a shoulderblock. Felix picks Mitch up and nails him with a double underhook backbreaker. Felix whips Mitch into the ropes and drives him to the canvas with a clothesline. Felix tries for a figure-four leglock, but Mitch counters it with a small package roll-up …1 …2 …and Pedro Supremo reaches under the ropes and grabs Felix’s hands and pulls him toward him!!! The referee has had enough, and he tosses Pedro from the ringside area. Felix is going bullshit as the crowd goes nuts cheering on the referee for making that call. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally a referee with balls big enough to stand up to Felix and his cartel goons.
[ Felix turns around and is met with a massive European uppercut by Mitch. Mitch drives a closed fist to the midsection of Felix. Mitch locks Felix in a massive bearhug, but Blood Hunter climbs up onto the ring and takes a swipe at Mitch. Mitch lets Felix go and now Blood Hunter and Mitch are exchanging huge rights and lefts!!! Felix charges in, but Mitch side steps the attack and Felix spears Blood Hunter right off the ring apron!!! Felix is shocked that his well-timed attacked missed it’s mark and then the referee does the unthinkable and he also tosses Blood Hunter from the ringside area!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holy shit the referee just tossed Blood Hunter too. All that’s left is Mil Muertes!!! He better watch his step because this referee isn’t taking any shit tonight!!!
[ Felix turns around and Mitch nails him with a thunderous DDT. Mitch tries to run into the ropes, but Felix grabs him by the trunks; pulls him back and drives his shoulder into the small of Mitch’s back dropping him to one knee. Felix then hoists Mitch up and hits him with a Death Valley Driver!!! Felix rolls Mitch up as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …and Mitch powers out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a Death Valley Driver by Felix to plant Mitch right on his right shoulder. You can see that he is trying to take that power game away from Fierce. The shot to his lower back and previously that huge back breaker. Very intelligent game plan by Felix.
[ Felix drags Mitch to his feet and tries to send him into the ropes, but Mitch reverses it and nails Felix with a crippling Spinebuster Slam. Mitch runs into the ropes, but Mil Muertes reaches up and yanks the top rope down sending Mitch crashing to the floor. The referee sees this and has had enough of the Cartel’s shit, and he too tosses Mil Muertes from the ringside area and the crowd goes wild!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s the perfect sweep as all three Cartel members have been ejected from the ringside area!!! Now we will see what Felix can do now that he’s all alone!!!
[ Felix dives onto Mitch with a suicide dive that sends Mitch crashing into the guardrail. …1 …Felix drags Mitch to his feet and launches him into the steel ring steps blowing them apart!!! …2 …Felix picks Mitch up and drives him back first him into the ring apron adding insult to injury to Mitch’s already targeted lower back. …3 …Felix drags Mitch over and smashes him headfirst into the ring post. …4 …Felix tries for the Go 2 Sleep, but Mitch blocks it and nails Felix with an Exploder suplex that sends Felix crashing through the announcer’s desk. …5 …Caristico and Phillip scatter like rats as Mitch rolls Felix back into the ring and follows him back in. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This match has totally broken down out here folks. This is the second desk that my partner and I have gone through!!!
[ Mitch sends Felix into the ropes and hits him with a pump kick. Mitch drags Felix back to his feet and goes for a chokehold, but Felix counters it with a rack of the eyes blinding Mitch. Felix drives an open hand chop into Mitch. Mitch returns the favor and chops Felix. Felix punches Mitch and Mitch counters with a big forearm. Felix hits the ropes, ducks under a clothesline and nails a springboard Sling Blade on Mitch. Felix again pounces off the ropes and hits a basement dropkick into Mitch. Felix climbs to the top rope going for a frog splash, but Mitch kip-ups to his feet and catches Felix on his shoulders; but Felix shifts his weight and rolls Mitch up with a crucifix pin attempt as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …2 ½ …and Mitch gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, Mitch had the kill shot all set up when he caught Felix, but that sneaky little shit was able to shift his weight enough to roll Mitch up for what was almost a win.
[ Felix goes for a basement dropkick, but Mitch rolls out of the way and out under the bottom rope. Mitch grabs both of Felix’s legs and splits him in half as he rams his balls into the steel ring post!!! …1 …The fans are loving it as Mitch rolls back into the ring and Mitch sets Felix up for the Fierce Bomb (Spinebuster into a sit-out powerbomb)!!! Mitch motions that it’s over when from the back, Tony Tran walks out on stage dressed in a three piece suit and tie. Mitch slams Felix to the mat as he walks towards the ropes screaming up the ramp at him… ]
Mitch fierce – I thought I fucking killed you!!!
[ Tran smiles as he raises the mic he has in his hand. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – You are as dumb as you are big. You know I’m like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. But, this little war between you and I; it’s not over yet. You see, we have one last dance.
Mitch Fierce – What the fuck are you talking about?
[ Without warning, Courtney Cox rolls into the ring behind Mitch and leaps onto his back trying to claw his eyes out. Tran laughs his ass off as Mitch tries to buck her off like a bull rider, but she is holding on tight as can be sinking her claws in. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – There’s nothing worse than a lesbian scorned!!! Claw his God damn eyes out!!!
[ The referee immediately calls for the bell as he sees Mitch trying to toss her off of him. ]
Time of match: 0:08:53
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pinfall by disqualification, Mitch Fierce!!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as Aoife Valkyrie rushes down to the ring in her street clothes past Tony Tran and dives under the bottom rope. Courtney sees her coming and dismounts Mitch and rolls out of the ring under the far ropes. She points at Aoife… ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I loved you!!! We could have been great together, but you chose that asshole!!!
[ Aoife kneels down next to Mitch to see how he’s doing, when from behind Felix Escobar grabs her by her hair and screams in her face. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – Ah, if it isn’t Helena of Troy. The fabled woman that saw to the destruction of Troy itself. Just like Helena, you will watch as your precious Mitch Fierce bows to me!!!
[ The crowd erupts as Alexander Stone rushes down to the ring. Felix sees him coming and tosses Aoife aside before heading for the safety of the floor. Mitch, finally getting his eyesight back; rises to his feet. Aoife stands between them as both men lock eyes. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – I told you I would have your fucking back!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, what a shit show this match quickly turned into. It has been nothing short of complete and utter chaos and we still have two huge matches to go. The only good thing that came of this is match, is that Mitch picked up another win.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This has quickly turned into the Alexander Stone show as what happened to him last week has set him on fire tonight. It seems the Cartel has picked the wrong man to mess with.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, let’s head to the back where Maxwell Shaw is standing by with the former World Champion Go-D and the current TV Champion Conner Edge. Max, take it away.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Maxwell Shaw standing very uneasily next to Conner Edge who has his TV title slung over his shoulder. Go-D, smirks as he can sense the tension in the man. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - What’s the matter Max, you seem a little on edge tonight?
[ Max will not take his eyes off of Conner, knowing the big man is a loaded gun ready to go off at the slightest hint of trouble. ]
Maxwell Shaw – I can’t say I trust him not to hurt me.
[ Go-D laughs. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Hurt you? He won’t hurt you Max, unless you do something to piss him off. You’re not going to piss him off, are you?
Maxwell Shaw – I... I... will try not to.
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Good boy. Now, continue with your questions.
Maxwell Shaw – Uh, last week we watched as you and Tank took shots at one another before you demanded your rematch at Blackout. Tank accepted that rematch, but also added the stipulation that it is going to be a Taipei Death Match.
[ Go-D chuckles. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Taipei Death Match. Does Tank think I really care what kind of match we wrestle in, because it doesn’t. All that matters is that by the end of the pay per view I walk out the World Heavyweight Champion again!!! We all know that Tank got lucky. That without those turncoats Messiah, Crazy Man and DDP distracting me; we wouldn’t even be talking about this match right now.
Maxwell Shaw – Tonight, you and Conner have a tag team match against Massive Mike and Tank where whomever gets the pinfall will become the TV champion. Go-D, even you might walk out of the match tonight with the belt.
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - That’s right. Another belt to pile on to the ever-growing stack of achievements that I have created over my illustrious career.
[ Conner looks over at Go-D, not seemingly very happy that he thinks he might be champion at the end of the night. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Conner, your thoughts on this match tonight and the possibility that you could lose your title to your tag team partner?
[ Go-D waves his hand in front of Maxwell. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - See, I see what you’re doing right there. You’re trying to drive a wedge between the big guy and me where there doesn’t need to be one. We’ve already talked about this and he understands that as long as the belt stays within Legacy then it’s all good. Do I want to see the kid retain? Sure. But if the opportunity comes my way, don’t think for one damn minute I won’t try and pin Massive Mike or Tank.
[ Maxwell turns to Conner. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Champ, the floor is yours. Your thoughts?
[ Conner glares at Max, before looking over at Go-D. ]
The World Wrestling Empire TV Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge – Where’s Salena?
[ Go-D puts his hands up trying to calm Conner down. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Buddy, I told you; she’s on Legacy business right now. Now come on. Let’s go get ready for our match.
[ The show cuts back to Phillip and Caristico at the announcer’s desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask, but how would Conner react if Go-D was the one to make the pin tonight and walk out the new TV champion? Think he would be pissed, or would he react like Go-D wants him to and for the betterment of Legacy just swallow it and accept it?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Knowing Conners temperament, I think he’s going to go ape shit. The kid’s in killing mode right now and anything short of walking out with that title tonight is going to send his ass over the edge.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Last week after the Cartel attacked Alexander Stone, the other two thirds of the six man champs apparently had a blow up in the hotel and rumor is they haven't talked in a week, before they go to the ring, let’s go backstage to Maxwell Shaw with Maverick Edge.
[ We cut to the back as Maverick Edge is decked out in his flight suit with a white scarf around his neck and his aviator shades on. ]
Maxwell Shaw - Maverick, the rumors have been flying about you and Godzilla's relationship having gone south and now here you stand ready to face him in the first round of the cruiserweight title tournament. How is the friendship doing?
Maverick Edge - Hey man, brothers fight sometimes, I've sent him a couple texts and honestly right now I'm not sure if he's just ignoring them or if Jessica is deleting them. I have no proof either way so I'm just going to go out, have this match and hope things between us are ok after.
Maxwell Shaw - Not to get too personal, but as his best friend, shouldn't you be supporting his relationship?
Maverick Edge - I'd be more inclined to if she just walked away from the Bullet Club. I'm not saying she needs to put on the Sensha-Gun stripes or nothing, but the fact she still aligns with a guy who's said some pretty unforgivable things about Godzilla, tells me everything I need to know.
Maxwell Shaw - What about your relationship with Cassie Lee?
Maverick Edge - I haven't seen or heard from her in a week. She’s out of my cell phone and look it was a lot of fun but I let my brother Stone down and it made me see the light. I'm focused on winning tonight and then making sure to set things right with Stone and Godzilla.
Maxwell Shaw - Good luck tonight.
[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our last quarter final match-up in the World Cruiserweight title tournament. We have already sent Travis Blake, Steve Scott and Psycho Messiah on to the semi’s and now we will see who will join them. It’s the United States Heavyweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez taking on Maverick Edge and it’s next!!!
Cruiserweight Tournament Round 1 Match-up
Godzilla Sanchez (2) vs Maverick Edge (7)
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – This match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and is a first-round match in the cruiserweight title tournament. Coming down the aisle, from Anaheim, California and weighing in at 180lbs, he is “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge!!!
[ “Highway to the Danger zone” blares through the arena as he crowd goes wild. Maverick walks out and poses on the ramp as the winds blow his scarf around and he scans the crowd. He suddenly goes running to the ring as the pyro blows on the ramp behind him like he's trying to outrun a bomber, he suddenly flies in the air over the top rope and lands on his feet. He stands mid-ring and gives the camera a big thumbs up in a smile as two more bomb blasts go off behind him. ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent…
[ Before any announcement can be made Brutus Beefcake's music is suddenly heard and out on the stage a replica of his old Barbershop talk show is rolled out. In the shop stands Jessica McKay dressed as Brutus. A dark haired Latino man with a kickass beard dressed as Shawn Michaels from the Barbershop when he turned on Marty Jannetty stands next to her. Maverick stands in the ring watching. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Is that ...are they just not expecting Maverick to get this?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It certainly is pretty obvious and honestly makes me a little sad if this is the way Godzilla has chosen things to go.
Jessica McKay - Now, Godzilla, things between you and Maverick have obviously been a little tense lately.
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Baby, when a man is supposed to be someone's friend, he needs to understand he might not always date who that guy likes. But, if you’re a true friend, you just bite the bullet and stand by them. Now Maverick, I see you standing down there, why don't you just come up here and let’s talk this out.
[ Maverick starts to get out of the ring, but the referee stops him. He seems to be trying to explain something to him, but Maverick pushes him off and makes his way back up the ramp and goes to the Barbershop. ]
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Now Maverick, I love you like a brother man. We've traveled this world together, we've won belts together, we've had each other’s backs for as long as I can remember. Now all I need from you man, is just an apology to Jessica for the way you've been treating her, and a hug and I'll forfeit this match and we can go try and make things up with Stone.
[ Maverick takes the mic and rubs his chin. ]
“Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You know what man, in the spirit of being best friends, I'll just say, Jessica, I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you and I'm going to work on it. Now, give me a hug brother.
[ The two hug but the crowd carries an uneasy silence. They then pose with their arms raised in victory, when Godzilla goes to hit Maverick with the expected super kick, but Maverick moves. Godzilla stops short of hitting Jessica and stares at her confused. Maverick grabs him by the back of his leather jacket and tosses him through the Barbershop window. Maverick goes after Jessica McKay, but she runs down the ramp towards the ring. Maverick proceeds to take off his flight suit and reveal Triple H inspired gear and points to his head indicating he's the smart one. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Godzilla with the worst surprise attack in history, apparently so bad Maverick has had his counterattack planned out enough to have gear made.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I guess when you really know a guy and have a fighter pilots sense of danger, anything is possible?
[ Godzilla, bleeding from the glass cuts gets to his feet as Maverick runs and dives through the window and takes Godzilla down. He starts pummeling him with fast rights, he grabs Godzilla by his hair and picks him up to his feet and drags him to the edge of the stage and tosses him off the stage through a table below. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holy shit, that's his best friend!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – In wrestling, you hit your friends harder, but wow, Maverick is incensed right now.
[ Maverick stands at the edge of the ramp, he shoots his fingers in the air Hardy Boyz style and leaps off and hits Godzilla with a Swanton Bomb from the top of the ramp. Both men lay for a minute but Maverick quickly gets to his feet as Godzilla rolls in agony on the ground. Maverick picks up Godzilla who can't even stand all the way up and tosses him into the guardrail. Maverick builds up some steam and hits Godzilla with a running mafia kick to the side of the head that sends the US champion down to his hands and knees. Maverick hops up on the guardrail and hits a double stomp to Godzilla's back flattening him to the ground. Maverick looks like a manic as he grabs Godzilla's leather jacket and drags him to his feet and tosses him onto the ramp. Godzilla starts crawling towards the back to get away from Maverick, but Maverick grabs him by his leg and starts dragging him to the ring leaving a trail of blood behind them. Jessica McKay stops Maverick at the bottom of the ramp and is pleading for him to let up on Godzilla. Maverick lets go of his foot and Godzilla just goes limp. Maverick grabs Jessica by her hair and starts shouting at her about being the group’s Yoko. Godzilla staggers to his feet, he goes to grab Maverick who nails him with a back elbow and releases Jessica at the same time. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, Maverick tonight has chosen violence and I'm honestly just at a loss here. These two have been a high point in the Empire this last year and I can't believe it's coming to this.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – They say all good things end Phil, but this has been shocking.
[ Godzilla is laying on the ramp begging Maverick to ease up as now his nose sits crooked and more blood is spewing from him. Maverick grabs the front of Godzilla's jacket, spins around and Judo throws him into the ring apron. Godzilla hits with a sickening thud and lands on all fours. Godzilla seems shocked at what Maverick is doing to him. Maverick shouts at him. ]
“Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - So, you wanted to be a heel?
[ Godzilla pulls himself up to his feet as Maverick again grabs him by his jacket and does a spin, but Godzilla smacks his hands to the side and drives his head down hard onto Maverick's nose. Maverick spews blood from his nose as he falls onto the guardrail. Godzilla takes off his leather jacket, Maverick moves forward and Godzilla hits him with a superkick from out of nowhere, Maverick goes over the guardrail into the front row. Jessica tosses Godzilla a bottle of water and he pours it over his head and clears some of the blood off his face, Maverick gets up in a daze as Godzilla leaps onto and off the guardrail and spears Maverick to the ground. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Godzilla gets his senses back at a good time here.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Probably a good time to remind people this match hasn't even officially started, but the referee is giving them a ton of leeway since it's a tournament match.
[ Godzilla and Maverick are rolling around like kids trading punches and going down the aisle. Maverick slams Godzilla's head hard on the ground and then gets to his feet and walks to the end of the aisle and onto the stairway. He seems to be checking his nose as Godzilla gets to his feet. Maverick comes at him, but Godzilla suddenly unleashes a series of karate strikes that catches Maverick off guard. Godzilla is hitting him everywhere and lands a solid front kick to Maverick's knee that throws him off balance, he follows up with a spin kick to the stomach and Maverick drops down and Godzilla hits him with a spin kick to his head. Maverick falls hard onto the stone steps. Godzilla advances on him but Maverick fires back a mule kick that sends Godzilla crashing down the aisle. Maverick begins sliding backwards up the steps in the arena going deep into the crowd. Godzilla grabs a chair from a fan and starts to follow, Maverick has the high ground and runs down three stairs and jumps expecting to catch Godzilla off guard, but Godzilla moves and Maverick crashes down the final few stairs back to the arena floor. He grabs at his shoulder and yells in pain and at his own stupidity. Godzilla runs up the stairs and comes flying down them, jumping from the second to the bottom and using the chair like a skateboard double stomps it onto Maverick's head. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – OH wow, that was deadly, he could kill him with a move like that.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Neither man has shown any regard for the others life tonight, this is amazing.
[ Godzilla picks up the very out of it Maverick and puts him over his shoulder and carries him to the ring. Jessica helps him transfer over the guard rail and they finally roll Maverick into the ring. Godzilla gets in, wiping the blood from his face as the referee checks on a very out of it Maverick. Maverick sits up though and tells the referee he's good as he pulls himself to his feet. The referee rings the bell and this match finally officially starts. Maverick starts to walk forward and falls to his knees. Godzilla stands in the corner and shakes his head and shows remorse, even seems to be crying a little, he starts stomping his foot to signal sweet Kaiju Music, Maverick stumbles to his feet, Godzilla looks at him and shouts...
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - I love you, and I'm sorry.
[ Maverick raises his fists and stumbles as Godzilla comes for Sweet Kaiju Music (Superkick), but Maverick ducks it and Godzilla nails the referee. Godzilla's eyes are huge as he stares at the downed referee, Maverick grabs his arms from behind and quickly hits him with a Killswitch. Godzilla lays on his stomach, Maverick quickly moves and locks him into Cattle Mutilation, in the center ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – An amazing turn of events as Maverick, who seemed done, has found another life and has Godzilla locked in submission with no real hope of escaping.
[ Jessica McKay starts to get into the ring but suddenly Tank Edge is ringside and pulls her down. He backs her into a corner and is yelling something at her as she starts to cry and point at the ring, but Tank won't hear it. Godzilla is tapping and verbally submitting now but Maverick knows the referee is down and won't release till he hears the bell, suddenly Cassie Lee runs down to ringside, she walks up to Maverick and stomps his balls. He releases the hold and stares at her as he cups his jewels on his knees. She screams something at him, as Tank gets in the ring and chases her off. Both Mean Girls meet in the aisle and hug, as Tank stands in front of them and shakes his head. Godzilla has gotten to his feet and quickly blasts Maverick in the back of the head with a shining wizard. He drags him to a corner and flies up to the top, the referee is getting back to his feet as Godzilla hits the Goodbye Tokyo (top rope double stomp) on Maverick. He covers for the …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – Your winner of this match by pinfall and advancing to the next round, Godzilla Sanchez!!
[ Godzilla stands in the ring and looks down at the defeated Maverick. Tank has gotten in the ring and checks on Maverick before saying something to Godzilla. Godzilla shrugs as Cassie and Jessica enter the ring with Godzilla's belts. He takes both girls in his arms and plants a big kiss on both of them. Tank tells him to scram, but Godzilla gets a microphone instead. ]
“The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Tank, I'm done man. I've been your loyal servant for too long and it's time I start being me. Today, Godzilla Sanchez the bumbling goof died with my friendship with Maverick. From this day forth, I got two belts, I'm banging two smoking hot women and I'm worth billions, Godzilla is dead, I'm now “El Guapo' Greyson Suave!!!
[ Tank shakes his head as Maverick is starting to sit up. Greyson Suave and the Mean Girls exit the ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Greyson Suave? That sounds like some sort of shampoo commercial!!! Is this another EMPIRESHOP.COM spoof? Are we being Punk’d? As Ashton Kutcher here?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t think we are being Punk’d partner. I think that the Mean Girls are deep inside Godzilla, er... Greyson Suave’s head. Now he moves on to the semi-finals next week right here on Adrenaline to take on Psycho Messiah while Steve Scott is now slated to take on Travis Blake in the other semi-final match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I wouldn’t have the World Cruiserweight title tournament end any other way. The top four men have made it to the semi-finals where the two men that come out on top next week will meet at Blackout for the World Cruiserweight Championship. Can you imagine if Greyson Suave walks out of Blackout with three belts? Have we ever seen that in the Empire?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I think that the burning question that I have is what does Travis and Amber think about the Mean Girls bedding down with Greyson Suave this close to the pay per view? This cannot be sitting well with the leader of the Bullet Club one bit.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – No it cannot. Folks, it’s time for the match that we have all been waiting for. It’s main event time and it’s a doozy as the TV title is on the line in tag team action as Tank and Massive Mike team up to take on Go-D and the reigning champion Conner Edge. I cannot wait to see how this match goes down tonight. The odds are heavily stacked against Conner to retain tonight as three other men could walk out the champion. Let’s go back to the ring one last time and join my friend Harvey Weinstein in the ring for the final introductions of the evening.
In the Main Event
For the W.W.E. TV Championship
Whoever gets the pinfall is the TV Champion
Tank Edge © and Massive Mike vs Conner Edge © and Go-D
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit or TV time remaining!!! Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by Reverend Odom; he weighs in at 252 lbs., this is... the World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy as “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena as the legendary Tank Edge walks out on stage followed by his long-time manager Reverend Odom. Tank high fives all his fans as he walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring raising his World title belt in the air high over-head. Reverend Odom stays at ringside giving Tank some last minute advice as he waits for Tanks tag team partner to make his way out to the ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tank looks to be in great shape tonight heading into his big title match against Go-D where both men are going to have their hands encased in glass shards.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have never partaken in a Taipei Death Match before, but I have seen enough to know that both men will be stretchered out of the arena that night due to the amount of blood that will be lost. This is how much the World title means to both men. This is what each of them will go through to be called World Champion.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his tag team partner!!! Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Mike Thompson and Chris Simmons; he weighs 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, Massive Mike; walks out from the back followed by Messiah and Crazy man dressed in jeans and wearing Massive Mike tee-shirts that are flying off the shelves at EMPIRESHOP.COM!!! The crowd begins their chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – Mike!!! Mike!!! Mike!!!
[ Mike motions for Messiah and Crazy man to follow him as they all powerwalk down to the ring and climb in. Mike bounces on the bottom rope, pumping up the sold-out crowd and the ring ropes barely support his weight. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Massive Make is a huge young man. For the past month or so he has been hot on the heels of the TV Champion Conner Edge and you just get then sense that he is ready to break out and win gold!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You’re right, the kids the total package; not to mention that he is going to be a force in the Emperor’s Crown Tournament that kicks off in February. Right now, he sits in the number three spot and if the tournament were to start today, he would have drawn the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone. Talk about a first-round classic.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their first opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 270 lbs.; this is the World Wrestling Empire Television Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge!!!
[ The camera focuses on the videotron as a flaming horse runs across and behind it spells out in flames "The Cowboy from Hell" as “Cowboys from Hell” blares throughout the arena. The camera pans down and Conner Edge stands with his right hand out in the claw position and his brand-new TV title around his waist. The sold-out crowd boos as he makes his way down to the ring and climbs in. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Is it me or does this kid always look pissed off. I remember his daddy always being that way too. I think DDPYOGA.COM did Tank a lot of good. The young man might want to consider some of that.
[ Massive Mike looks like he’s ready to go right after Conner, but Tank holds him back at Conner takes off his TV title belt and taunts Massive Mike with it. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – There’s so much bad blood between these two men right now. It was back at Leap of Faith that Conner got disqualified to retain his title. Don’t think for a second that Massive Mike has forgotten about that heading into this match.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his tag team partner. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 255 lbs.; this is… Go-D!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as the Empire Hall of Famer Go-D walks out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd as he marches down to the ring never even looking at Tank or Massive Mike as he climbs in, posing on the middle turnbuckle; and motions that he is going to win the title back at Blackout. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Go-D is very confident that come the pay per view he is going to take back the World Championship. I have to wonder though, that if he loses that match; will he fall completely out of the Emperor’s Crown tournament and not get a shot at it again?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Depending on how the other matches play out between now and including the pay per view, yes, he could find himself bounced right out of the tournament if he loses to Tank. That would be a crushing loss for him on both ends of the spectrum.
