ADRENALINE
Live Monday night February 14th, 2022 from the sold-out Phu Tho Indoor Sport Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 8:00pm EST
An hour or so before the show…
[ The scene opens up backstage as the World Six Man Tag Team Champions Mitch Fierce, Alexander Stone, and Maverick along with Aoife Valkyrie on Mitch’s arm have arrived at the arena. Mitch has his World Six Man Tag title slung over his shoulder as the fans can be heard cheering for Stone, Maverick and Aoife as boos are also heard for Mitch Fierce who just smirks. Maxwell Shaw spots the Three Best Friends and Aoife as he approaches them with a camera in tow. Mitch, Stone, Aoife and Maverick stop seeing Maxwell approach them. Maxwell catches up to them. ]
Maxwell Shaw - Thanks for your time guys and Aoife. Let’s just get right down to business. Fierce, Stone, Maverick you guys beat the Cartel at Blackout to win the World Six Man Tag Team Titles which you Stone, and Maverick had to vacate because of Godzilla’s refusal to defend the titles. That’s when you both went to Mitch and asked him for help to fight the Cartel. Mitch, this is your first championship here in the Empire how does it feel to be a champion again after four years of not being in the ring then only being in the Empire for three or four months winning your first title in a short amount of time?
[ Mitch looks at Maxwell and smirks. ]
Mitch Fierce - You want to know how it feels Max? It feels damn good to have a championship around my waist. It’s my first but not my last championship here in the Empire. It was a team effort to win the Six Man Tag Team Championships. We told the Cartel we would walk out of Blackout the Six Man Tag Team Champions and we did. There was never no doubt that we wouldn’t. The Cartel was beaten by the better team and this title proves we were the better team. We kicked the Cartels ass.
Maxwell Shaw - Mitch, at Blackout after The Three Best Friends won the World Six Man Tag Team titles and you saw Alexander Stone helping Aoife up from getting beaten down by Holidead after Alexander chased her off you went off on Stone thinking that he was trying to take Aoife away from you. I want to know as I’m sure that the fans want to know are things good between you and Stone?
Mitch Fierce - Max what happened at Blackout with me going off on Stone thinking that he was trying to take Aoife away from me I took it the wrong way. The green eyed monster reared its ugly head. We are cool
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone - I don’t take other guys girls. We don’t let the ladies of the Empire divide us. Me and Maverick look at Aoife as a sister figure.
[ Maverick gives a thumbs up. ]
Maxwell Shaw - Aoife tonight you face Holidead in her return match after recovering from her knee injury. Any thoughts on the match
Aoife Valkyrie - I have a thought about the match Max. I’m going to kick Holidead’s ass. I got first shot ya and I got a few tricks up my sleeve. Holidead thinks this match is going to be a win for her? She better think twice. Holidead is going to wish she hadn’t come back when I'm finished with her. I will put her back on the shelf where she belongs
Maxwell Shaw - Aoife you seem to have a different attitude. A meaner attitude.
[ Mitch stops Maxwell. ]
Mitch Fierce - That’s what it takes to be a winner Max. That’s what it takes to be a champion in this business. You can’t be nice you'll get your ass handed to you every time you step into the ring. Aoife will win tonight, and she will win herself a championship. She has what it takes to be Women’s World Champion. The new kick ass meaner attitude hell, I like it.
Maxwell Shaw - You have any thoughts about your first round Emperors Crown tournament match against Chandler Hopkins.
[ Mitch looks dead into the camera. ]
Mitch Fierce - Hopkins, I don’t see how you even got into this tournament. I figure you only got in because of Massive Mike and Go-D leaving. You won your match at Blackout to qualify. You got in by the skin of your teeth Hopkins. You’re a nobody. You don’t even deserve to be in this tournament but, you are and you’re facing me again. I kicked your ass once and made that choice which caused the woman I love and care about Aoife to get her nose shattered by Jake Owens. I know what you’re thinking Hopkins that is somehow going to possibly affect me in this match remembering that incident. That won’t be the case tonight. I almost gave up the number one spot to Felix Escobar because I thought I was protecting Aoife and if it hadn’t been for her slapping some damn sense into me you'd be facing Felix or maybe somebody else but you got me and your luck runs out tonight in this tournament when I kick your ass again and advance and you get put out of the tournament. You are the first obstacle in my way to a World Heavyweight Title shot and sorry about your damn luck Hopkins your run ends tonight before it begins when I put you down! Its over for you tonight Hopkins. You’re a nobody that doesn’t even deserve to be in the ring with me. I’m undefeated. I’m ranked number one and I’m staying that way. Get ready Hopkins. I’m coming for you!. You’re going to get your ass handed to you again tonight loser
[ Mitch looks at Maxwell then walks away with Aoife followed by Stone and Maverick. ]
Now…
[ 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 and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening, folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and Mexican Sensation… Caristico!!! Boy, what a pay per view we had this past Sunday night as the World Wrestling Empire proudly presented Blackout.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s a night that I certainly will never forget. Six incredible matches where we crowned brand-new World Tag Team Champions. New World Six-man Tag Team Champions and a brand-new World Cruiserweight Champion!!! But it was the World Heavyweight Championship match that we witnessed possibly the bloodiest match in the long and story book history of the Empire where the Champion Tank Edge retained his World title by making the Challenger Go-D submit after losing so much blood.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Partner, we have so much to cover it’s impossible to do it right now because speaking of the World Heavyweight Champion, here he comes!!!
[ The World Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge comes walking out dressed in a T-Shirt and jeans with the World Heavyweight title belt around his waist with no music or pyro. The crowd cheers from him. He has multiple cuts and scrapes all along his face still and seems shiny with Neosporin. He gets in the ring and takes a microphone. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well, what can I say? At my age, apparently having matches involving glass wrapped fists isn't the greatest idea ever. When you can't even take a nice, relaxing shower without wanting to scream in pain, you can just say it's been a very painful week of recovery. I'd like to take the time right now to thank Dave for a hell of a match. If that was indeed your last go in this ring, differences aside, it was an honor to have that with you.
[ Tank pauses as the crowd offers a respectful cheer for the career of Go-D. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - I'd also like to thank my daughter Bella for being in country and making the blood transfusion that I ended up needing for a speedy process. Also, thanks to whoever decided staples were ok to use on facial wounds for helping the healing process quicker then stitches would. At my age, my healing factor isn't quite up to Wolverine's standards. But now, we must look to the future, and the future happens to be in the Emperors Crown tournament that starts tonight. You got seven young and hungry guys and one crazed old man like me going for a shot at this belt. So, Mr. Champion Tank, what are your thoughts on all the potential?
[ Tank switches to the other side of the ring like he's properly interviewing himself. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well Tank, lets starts start at number eight and Chandler Hopkins. This kid is tough and always feels like he's on the cusp of something big, but I'm not sure if he has the it factor to take it to the next level. I'm not looking past him as these tournaments are made for upsets, and I really hope he gets a star making turn, but I feel the moment might be a little too big for Chandler this year, hopefully he uses this experience to learn and grow.
[ Tank switches back to interviewer. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Ok Tank, what about Steve Scott?
[ Tank goes back to the other side. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well to be honest see previous answer. You know, your seven and eight for a reason usually and your probably not in this tournament if Massive Mike and Go-D are still here. Honestly, I'm very upset Massive Mike isn't in this thing as it'd have been better than if Steve Scott was in his place you know? Not to insult the guy too hard, but well, facts are facts.
[ Tank goes back to the interviewer. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - A little harsh there, Tank, hopefully you have something nicer to say about Psycho Messiah?
[ Tank returns to champ side. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - I do, in fact I do Tank. This is a guy who, let’s be honest, was screwed out of the TV title and since then has been fighting tooth and nail to get recognized as a top star. He strong, fast and an honest threat to anyone he comes across. He's also got a US title shot in his back pocket. Very interested to see what happens between him and “The Backslider” Travis Blake. I'll jump ahead here Tank and let the world know that I haven't seen someone fall so far and so fast as Travis Blake since.... wow I'm really not sure. This guy was on top of the world a couple months ago. Now he's still the three seed but does anyone here think he's really got a chance?
[ The crowd boos to signal they don't think so. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - He tried to play mind games with my family and found out that we just play the game better. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for him to win because I owe him one and he's the only one I haven't gotten my revenge against for all the October incidents. And no, Godzilla wrecking his life and career is not the end of us, it ends when I say it ends. I hope he competes, but if he bombs out, I might go ahead and give him a shot just so he can fully understand how far down the ladder he really is here.
[ Tank switches to the interviewer side as the crowd cheers his ripping of Blake. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Wow, you better be careful Tank, he might insinuate that your gay again. Now, how about your son and essentially your son being in here, would that be weird to face them?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Tank, I never beat my kids when they were kids, but I taught these two everything they know. Conner, you’re a miserable prick and always have been, but I bet anyone who grew up with that shrew of a mom would be. If you can handle Stone on your own, that's great, I'd love to face you. And Godzilla, well we've fought twenty times and I'm 19-1 against you, you may be rocking two belts now and believe me, I'm damn proud of you, but your still not this level. In fact, it's the final two guys that I honestly think are on my level.
[ Tank pauses a minute and goes and gets a bottle of water. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Stone and Fierce. Unlikely allies and maybe the cream of the crop in this federation. Stone, yeah, I owe you and not to play favorites but I hope you win this thing so we can go one more time. I'm not a guy on his way out like last time, don't get me wrong, I gave you 100, but I'm honestly not sure it was my best 100, you know. I would love to test myself against you one more time. And Mitch, now this guy, who can figure out this nut-ball? It's been interesting watching him and Aoife's love story from afar, but I keep waiting for it to turn into some Othello like tragedy where he snaps her neck for talking too nice to a waiter at a restaurant or something. But hey, from one old hot head to another man, get some help before you kill her dude. Far as this tournament, you’re the top seed, hopefully you can rise to it, because it'll be a fun match.
[ Suddenly, Tank notices an American fan in the front row wearing a “Monster” Tank Edge tee-shirt from back in two-thousand and five that were flying off the shelves like hot-cakes. The young man locks eyes with Tank and he waves his country style guitar in the air at him. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I love you Tank!!! I love you man!!! You’re my hero!!!
[ The T-shirt brings a smile to Tank’s face, remembering all the good times he had back then. Tank motions to security at ringside. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Let him in.
[ Security helps the young man over the guardrail and walks him over to the ring steps where he climbs up onto the ring apron with a huge grin on his face. Tank reaches out to shake the young man’s hand, but instead of shaking Tank’s hand he hugs Tank like they were long lost friends. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok buddy, dial it down a bit.
[ The young man then rushes over and mounts the turnbuckle standing on the second rope and raises his guitar in the air much like Jeff Jarrett used to do back in the day. The crowd boos him, not knowing who this guy is and not caring much either. After soaking it in, the young man gets down and walks back over to Tank. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, I don’t normally do this; but that tee-shirt you’re wearing brought back some great memories. Let me ask you a couple of questions, what’s your name and where did you get it?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I’m “Superfan Benny” and I’m your biggest fan!!! But you can just call me Benny. Benny Dutton.
[ Bobby jumps around the ring like an idiot waving his guitar in the air as the fans boo this ass clown. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok, ok, I need you to calm down kid. Bobby, where you from?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Nashville!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Nashville. Great city. And that tee-shirt, where did you get your hands on it?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I was there at “Lost at Sea” when took that pirate ship into the pay per view. It was fucking awesome!!!!
[ Tank shakes his head. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Yeah, not one of my proudest moments. I was going through an identity crisis.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I love you Tank!!! I followed you your entire career. From the Empire to the WWCF to Mexico to Japan to...
[ Tank senses that something is wrong and raises his hand. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok kid, this seems a little strange...
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I’ve got my own website dedicated to you. I’ve got my own podcast where we talk about just you and all your matches. I’ve got a YouTube channel where we rewatch all your matches and critique what you could have done different.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Done different.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Yeah, I have dissected hours and hours of your matches and broke them all down. If you want, I could sit down with you and give you some pointers...
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Pointers?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Yeah. You know, I would make a great manager. No offence to Reverend Odom or nothing, but what has he really done for your career anyway?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – He’s been with me from nearly day one.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – But you could do so much better. Under my leadership...
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Your leadership? Besides watching tapes of my matches, what do you really know about wrestling? I bet that this is the first time you’ve ever been in a wrestling ring.
[ Benny smiles and wages a finger at Tank. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Nope, nope wrong again big buddy. I was on EBAY one night and I found the exact same ring that you won your first world title in.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – My first world title? You’re sure?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I do my research.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – I bet you do. Listen Bobby.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – It’s Benny.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok, whatever kid. Listen, this went sideways pretty fast, and it just goes to prove why I hate doing this; so, let’s just end it right here...
[ The young man reaches out and grabs Tank by the arm... ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Wait, not yet. I’ve come a long way to see you. To be in the same ring with you. In your very presence.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, you’re weirding me out. Now if you like your hand where it is, you’ll get it off of me.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – But you’re not listening to my words!!! I love you Tank!!! Not in some weird gay sort of way, but you’re a wrestling God to me. I have dedicated my entire life to you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Then you better re-evaluate your life.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Listen, you asked me if this was the first time in a wrestling ring; and it’s not. I have been training for years at a local wrestling school in Nashville.
[ Tank chuckles at him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – That’s good kid. Go home and go to school. Learn a real skill cause wrestling is going to shorten your life.
[ Tank heads toward the ropes and just as he’s about to step through, Benny grabs his arm again. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – No, no, no, don’t go yet. I’ve spent everything I’ve got to get here. Please!!!
[ Tank straightens up and looks at the kid trying his hardest not to pummel him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, I am losing my patience with you right now...
[ Benny swings his guitar around and pulls his pick out of his pocket. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tank, I wrote this song when I was twelve. It’s dedicated for you and what you mean to me.
[ Benny starts strumming away and it sounds like two chickens fucking. The fans hate it as they boo him out of the arena. After about two minutes, Tank walks over to Benny... ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Bobby, Benny; just stop ok. Just stop. This is not going as planned and I think we need to stop this right now.
[ Benny looks sad. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I’ve come all this way just to see you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Well you saw me, now go the fuck home.
[ Tank steps through the ropes and walks back up the ramp as Benny yells at tank. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tank!!! Tank I love you!!! Don’t leave me Tank!!! Tank, don’t walk away!!! I love you man!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, we have met a ton of fans over the years, but “Superfan Benny” is one of a kind. He seems pretty obsessed with Tank and what he’s done in his career, almost to the level of being obsessive in nature.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Listen, I am all for fans having their favorite wrestlers and wearing their tee-shirts; but this kid has taken it to a whole ‘nother level. He actually thinks that he can teach Tank a few things. This is Tank we’re talking about. This kid’s got a few screws loose.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I actually think that if Tank didn’t walk out when he did, he was going to lay that kid out. It was going bad pretty quick and I am just happy it didn’t get to the point of no return. Props to Tank for showing some restraint under some pretty weird circumstances. Folks, while we get ready for our first match, our camera crew is with the Mean Girls. Let’s catch up with them and see what’s going on after what happened at Blackout.
[ The show swings to the back where we see the Mean Girls walk up to the dressing room of the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova. Cassie reaches down and tries to open the door, but it’s locked. ]
Cassie Lee – What the hell? It’s locked.
Jessica McKay – Here, let me try.
[ Jessica reaches out and grabs the doorknob but to her dismay it is still magically locked. ]
Jessica McKay – It’s locked.
[ Cassie rolls her eyes at her... ]
Cassie Lee – Yah think.
[ Cassie reaches around Jessica and pounds on the door. They wait a few seconds, and nobody answers so Cassie pounds on the door again. ]
Cassie Lee – Hey, let us in!!!
[ They can hear the door unlock and the handle turns, and we see Paul Heyman standing there looking ever so serious. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Can I help you?
[ Cassie and Jessica chuckle at that question. ]
Jessica McKay – Help us? You’re acting like you don’t know us. We’re Bullet Club.
[ Heyman scrunches his forehead and squints at them. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Bullet Club? Really? I do believe that the two of you are conniving little bitches...
[ The door swings fully open and we see the three-time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova standing there with her title slung over her shoulder. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – I got this Paul.
[ And Amber eyes them both over like she doesn’t trust them. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – What do you want?
[ Jessica smiles at her... ]
Jessica McKay – What do we want? We wanna come in. This is where we belong.
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Yeah, you see; that’s where we have a slight disagreement. You two screwed us over big time. You chose that freak Godzilla over the Club. You chose to bribe the Guerillas with what? Watches? What the hell were the two of you thinking?
[ Jessica and Cassie look at each other knowing they are in a world of shit. ]
Jessica McKay – I told you she wouldn’t understand.
Cassie Lee – We did that to take all his money. It would have worked if not for that bitch Zelda whatever her name is sticking her fat ass in our business.
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Well, it didn’t work and now you’re done.
[ Jessica and Cassie looked stunned. ]
Cassie Lee – Done? You mean done, done? Like we’re out of the Club?
[ Jessica laughs like it’s some sick joke. ]
Jessica McKay – You’re kidding right? This is a joke, right?
[ They can see the seriousness in Amber’s face. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – The only joke is the thought that I could make the two of you into something that you’re not. Paul, take the trash out.
[ Amber walks back into her dressing room leaving Heyman standing there with a shit eating grin on his face. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Ladies, it’s been a pleasure doing business with you; but I suggest you take your business back to the general locker-room.
[ Cassie and Jessica looked stunned. ]
Cassie Lee – General locker-room?
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Yes, you’ll find it right next to catering.
[ Heyman smiles ear to ear. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Good night, good luck, bye-bye.
[ Heyman slams the door in their faces. ]
Cassie Lee – General locker-room? I told you this was going to end badly!!!
Jessica McKay – I’ll fix this!!! Let’s just go. I wanna get a locker close to the lady’s room.
[ Cassie rolls her eyes as she follows Jessica. The scene cuts to the dressing room of Mitch Fierce who along with Aoife Valkyrie who is in the dressing room with him both ready for their matches are talking. ]
Mitch Fierce - Kick that bitches Holidead’s ass. Put her back on the shelf and win tonight.
Aoife Valkyrie - I got this ya. The bitch can’t beat me.
Mitch Fierce - Me, Maverick and Stone we got your back in case the Cartel tries anything since Holidead is one of them. You got this.
[ Mitch hugs Aoife and gives her a kiss. ]
Mitch Fierce - Chandler Hopkins that loser I end his chances of going past the first round tonight. I’m in this to win. Hopkins is in my way. I’m putting him down tonight. Its over for him in this tournament tonight. Hopkins is going to be looking up at the lights after a Fierce Bomb!
[ Mitch and Aoife leave the dressing room and meet up with Stone and Maverick. The show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, the Mean Girls were just fired from the Bullet Club!!! I had a feeling that things were not going to end well for them after the whole Godzilla thing blew up in their faces.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – They took a calculated risk and it never paid off and now they find themselves on the outside looking in. They need to consider themselves lucky that there wasn’t a beat down too. To me, they got off pretty easy.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, what a line-up for have in store tonight. Nine huge matches and a main event that is pay per view quality as Conner Edge defends his TV title against Prophet in a match that came about when Prophet kidnapped Salena at Blackout.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet is one sneaky fucker and when he went snooping through Legacy’s locker-room, he found his old Prophetic Book. That triggered something in his demented brain and here we are. An Extreme Rules match for the TV title. I have to wonder what kind of condition Conner is going to be in tonight. Conner was in a brutal match at Blackout against Massive Mike who left his mark on Conner. It was sad to see Massive Mike part ways with the Empire. I could see that young man holding gold in the very near future.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – With his departure it opened the door for two other men to be added to the Emperor’s Crown Tournament which kicks off tonight as Mitch Fierce comes in as the number one seed taking on Chandler Hopkins and in the other opening round match, Travis Blake comes off his loss to Godzilla at Blackout and he takes on the red-hot Psycho Messiah who teamed with Hopkins at Blackout to defeat the Forgotten in tag team action.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Both are huge opening round matches. Diving into each of them, Hopkins and Mitch faced off about a month ago with Mitch defeating Hopkins. I think we will see the same result tonight. As far as Travis versus Messiah goes, Travis’ entire world is falling apart right now as we saw back at Blackout both the Guerillas and the Mean Girls turned their backs on him that opened the door for Godzilla to retain his US title and become the new World Cruiserweight Champion. To say the Bullet Club is in disarray is a massive understatement.
[ The crowd boos as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake walks out on stage mysteriously alone and storms down to the ring!!! Travis snatches the mic away from Harvey Weinstein and walks up the ring steps and climbs through the ropes. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Bullet Club has been a train wreck and I am sure he’s out here to address that issue.
[ Travis taps the top of the mic... thud, thud, thud and then brings it up toward his mouth. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake - “The Backslider”? Really Tank? After all these years honing your skills the best you can fucking call me is “The Backslider”? Well, I got two words for you; old man...
[ Travis flips off the camera. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Fuck you!!!
[ The crowd boos Travis. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – And fuck all of you, you’re nothen but mindless puppets too!!! Tank talks and you all squat like a bunch of fucking pussies!!! Let’s look back at this past year, shall we? The fastest rising star in the Empire was none other than Travis Blake!!! I put the Empire on the fucking map and what do I get for it? I watched the fucking owner of this company suck the dicks of all the old fucks and feed them title matches!!! Guys like Page, Crazy Man, Messiah, Go-D and you piece of shit Tank!!! I was the number one contender!!! Where was my World title shot? I beat Tank, Stone and countless other ass-wipes and I had to sit back and watch the “BOSS” blow the old WWCF guys!!! I’m sick of this bullshit!!! I’m the fucking “Face of the Empire”!!! I’m the fucking future of this company!!! I’m...
[ “Human” by Rag’n’Bone Man explodes across the arena as the owner of the Empire Mark Choquette walks out on stage and stops listening to the chorus of cheers. He then sees Travis in the ring and makes a beeline down the ramp. He slowly walks up the ring steps and climbs in the ring. Travis leans against the corner with a shit eating grin on his face. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Travis may be the future, but the boss is the boss and we all answer to him. It seems Travis has some explaining to do.
[ Travis smiles as he watches Mark ask for a mic and Harvey hands him one. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Mark, it’s amazing you could find time to come out here; after sucking so much dick!!!
The Owner of the Empire Mark Choquette – Travis, enough. That’s enough. There are kids in the crowd and there are kids watching at home.
[ Travis laughs at him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Do you think I give a damn about the kids? Fuck them and fuck you!!!
[ Travis defiantly flips Mark off and the crowd boos him. ]
The Owner of the Empire Mark Choquette – That’s enough. You’re done. Let’s go.
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – What’s the matter “BOSS”, you don’t like to hear the truth? That you’ve been kissing old the old guy’s asses while holding guys like me back?
The Owner of the Empire Mark Choquette – I’ve held nobody back. It’s just your demented point of view.
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – My point of view? You are so detached from your own company your delusional!!! Why the fuck do you think Massive Mike left? He knew that he would never get a shot at the world title!!! Why is that? Wait, don’t shovel any more of your shit; let me just tell you. It’s because guys like Tank and Go-D are hogging the spotlight. Your stuck in the past boss and it’s time someone snaps you out of it!!!
[ Mark has no time to react as Travis Blake snaps and levels Mark with a superkick that knocks the owner out cold!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell did Travis just do?!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He’s gone off the proverbial deep end!!! Mark needs help!!!
[ Travis watches as Caristico pulls off his headset and climbs into the ring and kneels over the owner of the Empire. Travis’ face turns twisted an evil as he lashes out and nails Caristico with the Weapon X (the Last Shot)!!! Now Caristico is laid out in the ring beside Mark as the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim rushes down to the ring with a security detail. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That son of a bitch just took out my broadcast partner!!! What the hell is he thinking?!
[ Travis rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp pissed off. The show cuts to the back where we see Maxwell Shaw standing by with Kahagas. ]
Maxwell Shaw – What a crazy night so far and we have yet to have our first match. Kahagas, thank you for joining me tonight. Tonight, you open the show against newcomer Matthew Kirk. 2021 didn’t end well for you as you were unceremoniously kicked out of the New Regime. Right now, you are ranked second in the TV title rankings. A win tonight might put you in line for a TV title shot against whomever wins tonight.
“The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas – 過去は終わったこと、変えられない。しかし、今夜、私の目の前にいるのは、無限の可能性を秘めた若者です。しかし、それがキーワードではないでしょうか？可能性？契約時には誰もが可能性を持っているんだろう？ロープを伝って俺と対決するまではね......東京のモンスター！！マシュー・カーク エンパイアに入ったのは 大げさだが 最初の試合で失敗した 残りの12人も同じだ 若造、お前はただの数字だ 俺のベルトの1つだ
[ For those of you that do not know Japanese, here is the subtitles at the bottom of your screen.]
“The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas – What’s in the past is done, I cannot change that. But what lies before me tonight is a young man with unlimited potential. But isn’t that the key word? Potential? They all have potential when they sign their contract, don’t they? Until they walk through those ropes and have to face me, the Tokyo Monster!!! Matthew Kirk, you come into the Empire with a ton of hype, but so didn’t the last dozen guys that didn’t make it past their first match. Young man, you’re just a number. You’re just another notch in my belt.
[ Maxwell has no clue what Kahagas just said as he watches Kahagas walk off. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Kahagas, thank you; I think. Uh, guys; back to you.
[ The camera cuts back to the announcer’s desk where we see Caristico holding the back of his head still trying to shake off the pain from that shit by Travis Blake. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Caristico, before we move on with the show; how are you doing buddy? Are you alright? That was a hell of a shot you took by Travis.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m fine Phil, thanks for asking. Travis Blake keeps running his mouth and that son of a bitch will get his.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – One could only hope. Folks, after all that; it’s time for the opening match of the night as we are about to see Kahagas take on a newcomer to the Empire in Matthew Kirk. Let’s head to the ring and see what this young man has got.
Matthew Kirk vs Kahagas
“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 from Trenton, NJ; he weighs in at 218 lbs., this is... Matthew Kirk!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet as “Something Special” plays as Matthew Kirk walks out raising one hand into the air, pointing down on himself with his index finger, representing that the spotlight is always on him. He walks down the ramp like normal and gets into the ring by rolling in and making his way to the turnbuckle, taunting the fans with his arms out. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Not much is known about Matthew Kirk other than he’s got a pretty big ego, if you can’t tell. He’s got a pretty cocky attitude and pretty much thinks his shit don’t stink.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Just to tell you a little about Matthew’s path to the Empire, he was signed on to join us for our World Tout just this past Sunday right before the Blackout Pay Per View was to go on the air. It was too late to debut him at the pay per view so the staff decided that he would come out here tonight and show us what he’s made of against the veteran Kahagas.
“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 – Kahagas comes into this match ranked second in the TV title rankings and fifth in the Cruiserweight rankings with a ten and thirteen record. If Mr. Kirk thinks that Kahagas is going to be a walk in the park tonight he’s got another thing coming.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas is a fighter and he’s not afraid to use some underhanded tactics to pick up a win. Especially that red midst he likes to employ from time to time to blind his opponents.
[ The bell rings and both men lock-up. Kirk quickly slips behind Kahagas and delivers a couple shoot kicks to Kahagas’ legs, before running off the ropes and nailing Kahagas in the back of the head with an enzuigiri. Kahagas stumbles forward into the ropes. Kirk runs at him, but Kahagas turns around just in time to cut him off with a clothesline. Kahagas grabs a handful of Kirk’s hair and pulls him up, only to drive him back down with a lariat! Kahagas goes for the early cover …1 …and Kirk kicks out after the one count!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And we are off to a quick start tonight as Kirk tried to take Kahagas down, but the Tokyo Monster used a handful of Kirk’s hair to drag him back to his feet and lariat him back down to the mat. You knew that it wasn’t enough to get the win over Kirk, but Kahagas was just testing the waters as they say.
[ Kahagas stands up and drives his knee down into the skull of Kirk with a vicious knee drop. Kahagas grabs a handful of Kirk’s hair and drags him over to the corner. Kahagas keeps his grip on Kirk’s hair and pulls him into a standing position before hitting him with a couple of knife edge chops. Kahagas backs away, only to come running at Kirk a few seconds later going for a lariat, but Kirk moves just in time to avoid it. Kahagas turns around and is met with flying forearm smash that sends Kahagas down to the mat. Kirk goes for the quick cover …1 …2 … and Kahagas shoves Kirk off of him to break up the pin!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nice counter by Kirk to get out of that corner and level Kahagas with that stiff forearm to the face.
[ Kirk quickly gets to his feet and watches as Kahagas climbs on to one knee in an attempt to stand up. Kirk runs at him nailing Kahagas with a shining wizard!!! Kirk again goes for the cover …1 …2 … and Kahagas manages to power out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That Shining Wizard was the first power move of the match. Kirk was really hoping to end it with that nasty kick to the head.
[ Kirk screams at the referee for what he thinks is a slow count before pulling Kahagas to his feet and delivering a couple knife-edged chops before nailing Kahagas with a roundhouse kick that knocks him onto his ass!!! Kirk then rockets off the ropes and dropkicks Kahagas driving him to the mat. Kirk gets up and he watches Kahagas stagger to his feet. Kirk quickly puts him back down with another roundhouse kick to the back of Kahagas’ head!!! Kahagas is on dream street as Kirk rolls him up for the …1 …2 …2 ½ …but Kahagas grabs the bottom rope breaking the count!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Great ring awareness by the Japanese superstar to know exactly how close to the ropes he was just before the referee’s hand hit the mat.
[ Kirk gets up and shakes his head walking over to the turnbuckle and climbing up! Kahagas is on his feet and turns around just as Kirk comes flying at him with a top rope cross body, but Kahagas manages to catch Kirk and nailing him with a fall-away slam!!! Kahagas kips up, ignoring the pain from being tossed, and nails Kahagas with a corkscrew dropkick that levels Kahagas again!!! The crowd pops as Kirk goes for another cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Kahagas shoots his shoulder off the mat!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Kirk went for that top rope crossbody, but Kahagas caught him and nailed him with that fall way slam. But Kirk popped right back up and destroyed Kahagas with that nasty dropkick!!!
[ Kirk rolls off of him, pounding the mat and yelling at the referee demanding that it was a three count. While Kirk is occupied with berating the referee, Kahagas gets up and comes from behind with a schoolboy pin attempt …1 …2 …and Kirk powers out and jumps to his feet before Kahagas can and attacks him with vicious stomps and kicks!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kirk better wake up and stop arguing with the referee because Kahagas nearly stole a victory out of the jaws of defeat!!!
[ Kirk then grabs Kahagas’ legs and locks in a Cloverleaf!! He locks the submission hold a little too close to the ropes though, as Kahagas can reach them within a matter of seconds forcing Kirk to break the hold and wait for Kahagas to get up. As soon as Kahagas is on his feet, Kirk nails him with a clothesline that sends Kahagas tumbling over the top rope and crashing to the floor. Kirk smirks and heads to the opposite set of ropes, waiting for Kahagas to get up again. Kahagas stands up with assistance from the steel barricade and Kirk runs and leaps onto the top rope, but Kahagas quickly darts back into the ring under the bottom rope as Kirk lands on the ring apron instead of to the floor! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Quick thinking by Kahagas avoiding what could have been a disastrous suicide dive to the floor by Kirk!!!
[ Kahagas turns around just as Kirk leaps onto the top rope and springboards going for moonsault, but Kahagas steps back and Kirk lands on his feet in-front of Kahagas who hooks him up and nails the Monster Driver (Half Nelson Driver)!!! Kahagas goes for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Matthew Kirk!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Excellent win for Kahagas tonight and a pretty poor showing by Kirk who never really was able to put anything together in this match.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Empire staff really had high hopes for this kid, but more times than not the pressure gets to them and they flame out.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are off to a fast start tonight; and right now, our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions Caged Heat.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing between Delta and Loca of Caged Heat. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, tough start to 2022 as a few weeks ago you dropped your first match of the year to the Heartbreakers; who then went on to Climax to lose to the reigning Women’s World Tag Team Champions Blue Nation for a second time. With S.E.X. within percentage points behind you in the rankings, how important is this match tonight?
Delta – S.E.X.? Are you kidding me? That’s the biggest concern in the tag team division right now? S.E.X.?
Cindy Meyers – Well, they did beat Jessicka Havok and Bloody Mary in that steel cage match back at Climax.
Loca – Listen up. S.E.X. aint nothen but a joke. And the Heartbreakers, you lost twice. Time to get your asses to the back of the line. The real threat in this division is Caged Heat. We are two-time champions and we want our straps back!!! Tonight, we just don’t beat them Mean Girls, we are gonna punish them!!!
[ Just then, Spice, Katie Forbes and Joey Ryan walk onto the set. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Wait, hold the phone; we’re a joke? Look at you two. You can’t even speak English? Do the two of you even have a high school education?
“Cotton Candy” Katie Forbes – GED? We need that to wrestle?
[ Spice looks at her cross-eyed. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Just stand there and look... look like yourself.
[ Katie smiles. ]
“Cotton Candy” Katie Forbes – Okeydokey.
Delta – Listen, we aint go no time for you two fools to be standing here running your mouths. Everyone knows you both got damn lucky to walk out of that cage at Climax in one piece. And if I were you, I wouldn’t be running your mouths too loud cause Bloody Mary and Havok, they aint gonna forget what you...
[ And she looks right at Joey Ryan... ]
Delta - ...or you, did to them.
[ Caged Heat storms off as Joey Ryan looks at Spice and Katie confused. ]
“The Don” Joey Ryan – What did I do? I was the victim. Havok assaulted me!!!
[ Spice looks at him like she has no idea why she’s with them. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Are you for real?
“The Don” Joey Ryan – I’m all real baby. Nothing genetically modified here.
[ Both women giggles as the show cuts back to the announcers table. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Back at Climax, S.E.X. with the help of Joey Ryan was able to defeat Bloody Mary and Havok. With that they have moved up within striking distance of Caged Heat and possibly a Women’s World Tag Team title shot.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You know that, by hook or by crook; Caged Heat can feel the pressure of S.E.X. inching closer to them in the standing. There’s nothing more S.E.X. wants is to get the Women’s titles back.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Partner, it’s been a pretty bad month for the Mean Girls as their entire plan came crashing down around them thanks to Zelda Edge. Tonight, they face Caged Heat in a match that Delta and Loca need to stay ahead of S.E.X. in the standings. This is a big match for both teams for two very different reasons. Let’s rejoin Harvey in the ring for this match’s introductions!!!
The Mean Girls vs Caged Heat
“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, weighing in at a combined weight of 250 lbs., Loca and Delta; they are the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions, they are… Caged Heat!!!
[ The crowd boos as the two former convicts march down to the ring rapping their own theme song “Do it yourself” before finally rolling into the ring. Caged Heat storms around as the sold-out crowd boos them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here are the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champion’s Caged Heat. Loca and Delta come into this match with an eleven and thirteen record and are currently ranked second in the division being a very tough Heartbreakers who lost their rematch to Blue Nation at Climax in a match that I really thought they would win and regain their titles.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Let’s face it, Blue Nation is pretty damn good and right now they have not one but two wins over the Heartbreakers. If Caged Heat wants a shot at the champs, they first have to get past the Mean Girls. With Last Rights being just three weeks away, every match means something. A single loss can set you back for months if you want to be considered for a title.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, they weigh in at a combined weight of 264 lbs, Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay; they are... the Mean Girls!!!
[ "Beautiful Sexy Fierce" by Ashley Jana rocks the arena as the two very sexy but arrogant women strut out on stage as they flirt with the sold-out crowd. They sashay their asses down to the ring and climb in posing on each turnbuckle. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here come the Mean Girls. Things have not gone their way these past few months as they enter this match with a two and four record and are positioned dead last in the division. But not just that, but the scam they tried to play with Godzilla backfired as Zelda Edge let the proverbial cat out of the bag showing the entire world that Jessica was no more than a cheap con artist looking to take all of Godzilla’s money and then divorce him. Thank God someone was watching Godzilla’s back.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Let’s not stop there. We also learned tonight that Amber Nova has fired the Mean Girls from their spot in the Bullet Club. We all saw what happened to Travis Blake at Blackout where the Mean Girls bribed the Guerillas with gold watches to not interfere. Well, that underhanded move didn’t sit well with the leader of the Bullet Club and he ousted the Mean Girls. It is going to be interesting to see if they can regroup tonight and pick up the pieces.
[ The referee calls for the bell as Delta and Cassie decide to kick things off. The bell rings and both women charge to the center of the ring, locking up in a test of strength. Cassie gets the initial advantage, but Delta powers back, bending Cassie backwards in an awkward position before pulling her upward and knocking her onto the mat with a short-arm clothesline. Delta grabs a handful of Cassie’s hair and yanks at it, forcing her onto her feet. Delta and Cassie lock-up again and this time Cassie pushes Delta back into the corner, choking her with her forearm while the referee counts …1 …2 …3 …4 ...and Cassie backs away with her hands away Delta, but Delta rushes out of the corner and spears Cassie. Cassie attempts the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …and Cassie kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a nasty spear by Delta into Cassie who backed away legally I might add only to be taken down for her honesty.
[ Both women climb to their feet and begin to battle it out exchanging forearms in the center of the ring for about thirty seconds before Cassie hits Delta hard enough to send her stumbling back. Cassie quickly jumps up and sends Delta down to the mat with a huracanrana! Cassie frantically covers Delta as the referee counts …1 …2 …and Delta kicks out of the pinning predicament!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The last thing that Cassie needed to do was stand toe to toe with Delta and start trading punches. These women are brawlers and Cassie would have gotten her clocked cleaned.
[ Both women get to their feet, but Delta is quicker as she manages to hook Cassie’s head and drive her into the mat with a DDT! Delta rolls Cassie over for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Cassie shoots her shoulder off the mat!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a DDT by Delta to spike Cassie right on the crown of her head!!! That’s going to leave her seeing stars for a while.
[ A frustrated Delta slams her fist on the mat and gets up quickly dragging Cassie by her hair to the corner where Loca awaits. Delta tags in Loca who climbs into the ring. Delta holds Cassie back against the turnbuckle as Loca delivers a couple of hard right hands to Cassie’s head and then backs up a short distance for a corner lariat! Delta leaves the ring as Cassie collapses to her knees. Loca takes a few steps back and delivers a punt kick to Cassie’s gut that doubles her over. Loca grabs Cassie by the hair and drags her across the ring to the corner where Jessica is drops her down begging for Jessica to get her ass in the ring!!! Cassie reaches up and tags in Jessica. Loca smirks as Jessica steps into the ring and stares her down. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Boy, oh boy; there is no love loss, between these two women. Without the protection of Amber Nova and the Bullet Club, the Men Girls are swimming in an ocean full of sharks right now!!!
[ Jessica runs at Loca and begins firing away with rights and lefts. Loca just laughs at Cassie and then pie faces her! This gets Jessica even more fired up and she unleashes another flurry of punches, with some kicks mixed in here. Loca staggers slightly, but then blasts Jessica with a vicious right hand that sends her down to the mat! Loca attempts to pin Jessica with just her foot as the referee shrugs his shoulders and count …1 …and only gets a one count which prompts Loca to kick Jessica hard in the ribs!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a shot to Jessica’s ribs right there as she could have busted one or two of them from the impact!!!
[ Jessica rolls over in pain as Loca grabs her hair and pulls her head up, and then follows up by slamming Jessica’s face down onto the mat! Loca goes for the pin once again by simply placing one foot on Jessica’s chest as the referee counts …1 …and once again Loca only gets only a one count on Jessica! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If Loca is serious about winning this match maybe she should act like it. The Mean Girls may not be as talented as Caged Heat, but they very well could steal a win tonight if Caged Heat are not careful.
[ Loca grabs Jessica’s head, forcing her onto her feet; but ends up catching a slap across the face from Jessica! Jessica nails a dropkick to the knee of Loca, which luckily has enough force behind it to bring Loca down to one knee. Jessica comes off the ropes and steps up on Loca’s knee, nailing her with a step-up enzuigiri! Loca collapses onto her back and Jessica goes for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Loca powers Jessica off of her with force. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – See, that’s a perfect example of what you were just trying to get across. Loca needs to stop playing around. She nearly lost this match for her team tonight with her antics.
[ Loca turns over and begins to climb back to her feet, but Jessica quickly delivers a dropkick to the side of Loca’s head to prevent that from happening. Jessica comes off of the ropes and drives a dropkick into Loca and then heads to the corner to tag in Cassie! Cassie and Jessica approach Loca and work together to drag her to her feet and then drive her back down with a double legsweep!!! Cassie rolls Loca up going for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ … and Delta dives in shoving Cassie off of Loca!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Delta knew that Loca was in bad shape and that if she didn’t do something quick this match would have ended in an upset!!! Loca needs to get to her corner and tag in her partner.
[ Loca begins to climb to her feet again. While on one knee, Cassie kicks her in the head, but Loca shrugs it off pumping up like Hulk Hogan and gets to a standing position. Cassie runs at her and attempts a flying cross body, but Loca catches her and drives her into the mat with a gorilla press slam!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Loca is running on pure adrenaline right now as she just slammed Cassie into the mat like she was nothing!!! Loca needs to find a way to hold onto this momentum.
[ Loca doesn’t go for the pin however, as she grabs a handful of Cassie’s hair and forces her up onto her feet, only to toss her across the ring and into her team’s corner. Loca obstructs the referee’s vision and argues with him about the hair pulling while Delta uses her foot to choke Cassie in the corner! Loca ends her argument with the referee just in time for him to catch Jessica entering the ring. While he goes to reprimand her, Loca drapes Cassie over the bottom rope for Delta to choke her some more while Loca stomps Cassie in the back! The referee turns around and Delta quickly stops choking Cassie and Loca makes the tag. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Now the double teaming begins as Caged Heat looks to wear down the Mean Girls, softening them up for the kill.
[ Delta enters the ring and grabs Cassie’s foot, dragging her to the center of the ring. Delta stands over Cassie and begins to hit her with repeated forearm shots to the back of the neck before locking in the camel clutch! Delta has Cassie right where she wants her, but Jessica comes out of nowhere with a dropkick to the back of Delta’s head breaking the submission hold! Loca is livid and enters the ring in going after Jessica, but Jessica slides out under the bottom rope to escape Loca! Loca leaves the ring, hot on Jessica’s trail, but as soon as she is out of the ring, Jessica is on the apron and uses the second rope turnbuckle to fly high with a springboard moonsault that sends Loca and her crashing onto the floor!!! Delta, a bit dazed after taking a dropkick to the back of the head, stands up and doesn’t quite seem sure of where she is! Cassie manages to get up as well nailing a bridging Tiger Suplex for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Delta narrowly kicks out and Cassie is in shock with her eyes and mouth wide open!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a nasty Tiger Suplex by Cassie who delivered what she thought was the knockout blow to end the match, but Delta was having no part of it as she found a way to kick out!!!
[ Cassie hooks Delta’s head under her arm and lifts her onto her feet. Cassie scoops her up and appears to be going for the Venus Fly Trap (Fisherman’s Suplex), but Delta knees Cassie and then thrusts her shoulder into Cassie’s gut and breaks free of her grip, following it up with a roundhouse kick to Cassie’s head!!! Cassie crumples to the mat as Delta goes for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Cassie kicks out! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Wow, both of these women are giving everything they have tonight in order to pick up the win. If Cassie could have hit the Venus Fly trap this match would have been over. Jessica and Loca are still nowhere to be seen.
[ Delta pounds the mat furiously before wrapping her hands around Cassie’s throat and slamming her head viciously against the mat! The referee counts …1 …2 …3 …4 …and tells Delta to stop, but she won’t listen! The referee grabs her and attempts to pull her off, which just pisses her off even more! Delta stands up and begins arguing with the official as Jessica makes her way back onto the apron and Loca is on the outside attempting to climb back onto her feet. While Delta is caught up in her argument, Cassie crawls over to her corner and tags in Jessica! Jessica enters the ring and squats with her hands on her knees, waiting for Delta to turn around and as soon as she does; Jessica nails Delta with a spinning savate kick! Cassie is back on her feet and notices Loca is on her feet as well on the outside. She comes off the ropes and goes for a springboard somersault plancha, but Loca manages to dodge the high-risk maneuver and Cassie crashes down to the floor hard!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is why that call it high risk people. High risk, high reward!!!
[ Loca climbs up onto the apron but receives a forearm from Jessica for her troubles. Jessica attempts to hit Loca with a right hand, but Loca catches her arm and brings her over to the corner, wringing it across the top turnbuckle! Delta is back up and decides to climb the turnbuckle. Loca begins to measure up Jessica, but Jessica reacts quickly by jumping onto the second rope and hitting Delta with a forearm to the face. With Delta now seated on the top turnbuckle, Jessica attempts to bring her down with a top rope huracanrana, but Delta grabs Jessica’s legs and prevents the move! Delta then grabs Jessica’s arms and pulls her up into a powerbomb position before standing up with her feet planted on the second rope and jumping down, slamming Jessica into the center of the ring with the powerbomb! Delta goes for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Jessica somehow, someway manages to kick out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a top rope powerbomb by Delta that just folded Jessica up like a pretzel!!!
[ Delta’s eyes bulge out of her head as she gets up wondering how the fuck she kicked out. Delta comes off of the ropes and comes back with a big leg drop right across Jessica’s throat. Delta pulls her onto her feet and whips her into the corner, running after her and nailing her with a corner forearm before she tags in Loca! Loca lifts Jessica into a powerslam position, carrying her to the center of the ring, but Cassie quickly slides in behind Loca and pulls Jessica’s feet, saving her! Cassie pays the price however as Loca grabs her throat with both hands, lifting her into the air before slamming her down onto the mat with a face plant. Jessica jumps onto Loca’s back, attempting to put her in a sleeper hold! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s total chaos in the ring right now as all four women are laying into each other!!! Now it’s Jessica who’s looking to end this with a sleeper hold on Loca!!!
[ Loca reaches behind her back, grabbing Jessica by the head with both hands and slamming her down with a snap mare! Cassie is up again, but Delta charges in and hits her with a clothesline that knocks her into the ropes. Delta holds Cassie against the ropes, attacking her viciously with knees. Delta then grabs Cassie by the arm and lifts her onto her shoulders and then driving her down with a reverse death-valley driver! Loca grabs Jessica by the throat with one hand and puts the other behind her head as she brings her to her feet. Delta positions herself a couple feet behind Jessica and nods to Loca. Loca drills Jessica with the spinning backfist, sending her stumbling back into Delta who hooks her arms and raises her into the air in an elevated double chicken wing faceplant!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a double team move by Caged Heat and they have the Mean Girls in a bad way right now. It won’t take much to put them away!!!
[ Delta has both of Jessica’s shoulders are on the mat for the cover as the referee dives in for the count …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Caged Heat!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And things continue to get worse for the Mean Girls as their problems continue to pile up. After getting tossed from the Bullet Club tonight, they follow it up with a disappointing loss to Caged Heat. Their entire world is crumbling around them!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Creepy” plays over the crowd noise and the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova powerwalks out on stage in her street clothes and marches right down to the ring. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It looks like the Women’s Champion has got something on her mind tonight. Do you think it has anything to do with what happened to her as Climax went off the air?
[ Amber grabs the mic from Harvey and climbs into the ring. The Mean Girls are still in the ring, but not for long as Amber rudely tosses them both to the floor like yesterdays news. She stands dead center in the ring and glares at the camera. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Shanna Furguson, you Neanderthal looking bitch; you wanna attack me from behind? You think your bad enough to knock me off my throne? Bitch, there’s a reason why you’re the Women’s National Champion and it’s because everyone knows you’ll always be second best!!!
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays as the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson storms down to the ring with Reverend Azazel right behind her, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb. She dives under the bottom rope and goes right at Amber and they start exchanging massive blows. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is crazy!!! Our two women’s champions are going at it right in the center of the ring!!! This is like Kong versus Godzilla!!!
[ Amber gets the upper hand and sends Shanna into the ropes before taking her down with a Spinebuster!!! The crowd erupts as Amber turns her back on Shanna thinking she’s done as she celebrates in the middle of the ring. Unknowingly, Shanna gets right back to her feet like that slam never fazed her at all. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell is Shanna made of? Amber just slammed her with everything she had and Shanna reacted like it didn’t hurt her at all!!!
[ Amber turns back around and sees the crazed look in Shanna’s eyes. Before Shanna can get her hands on Amber, the Women’s Champion drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring and back up the ramp. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – You can just feel it, these two women are on a collision course and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. Folks, at Blackout we watched as Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln came to the aid of both Chandler Hopkins and Psycho Messiah when Jake Owens and Aric Cannon attacked them evening the odds. Right now, Psycho Messiah is standing by with his friends as they get ready for their match against the Cartel.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Psycho Messiah along with as Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln backstage. ]
Psycho Messiah – Cartel, we’ll get to you boys in a minute. Now you Forgotten, did you really think I was going to walk into another match leaving my back wide open? That I wouldn’t do what I had to do to protect myself? You see, if there was one thing that my feud with Shane and Legacy taught me was that I need someone to watch my back. Someone that I know that I can trust. And that’s where these men come in. You boys try your shit again, you’ll have more than just me to deal with.
[ Messiah pauses before continuing. ]
Psycho Messiah – Travis Blake, son; you’re on the edge. What were you thinking super kicking the boss right in the face? Not a great career move if you ask me. But I’ll overlook your stupidity and settle on just kicking your dumb ass. There’s only one way this is going to end tonight and that’s with me advancing to the second round of the Emperor’s Crown tournament.
[ Messiah puts his hand on Luther and Seth’s shoulders and smiles. ]
Psycho Messiah – Now you Cartel. You boys drew the short straw tonight. Tonight, my boys show the entire Empire what they are in store for. Tonight, the Anarchy Suicide Squad put a stamp on their place in the Empire. World Tag Team titles!!! World Six-man Tag Team titles!!! World Heavyweight title!!! Oh, and let’s not forget that US title shot I have stashed away in my back pocket where I can cash in any time I damn well please. For months everyone stood by and watched as Legacy tried to destroy me, doing nothing to help me. Now it’s my turn. Now it’s our turn. Let’s go.
[ The Anarchy Suicide Squad walk off as the show cuts back to Caristico and Phillip at the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Bold statement by Psycho Messiah as he pretty much outlined what he has for himself and for the team that he has assembled in the wake of Shane McMahon being ousted and the power vacuum that it has left in its wake.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody is happier to see Shane McMahon gone more than Psycho Messiah is. The shit he put Messiah through almost broke him. I cannot blame Messiah for going to these lengths to protect himself and his interests.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, what a war we are about to witness tonight as the Cartel takes on the Anarchy Suicide Squad. What a way to make their first entrance into the Empire. This one will not be for the feint of hart folks. Let’s head back to the ring as my good friend Harvey Weinstein is ready with tonight’s introductions!!!
Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln vs Felix Escobar, Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Holidead, they weigh in at a combined weight of 756 lbs., this is... “The Raven” Felix Escobar, Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter... the Cartel!!!
[ The crowd erupts as “I came to Collect” by CFO$ explodes across the arena as Holidead, Felix Escobar, Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter slowly walks out from the back to the booing of the sold-out crowd. The Cartel slowly climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes. Felix slowly walks around the ring showing no emotion on his face as Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter bookend him always being his protector!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is one hell of a team Caristico, but they were not enough this past week at Blackout to overcome the powerful trio of Alexander Stone, Mitch Fierce and Maverick.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – To me, the Cartel bit off more than they could chew at the pay per view; and now tonight they walk right back into the fire against a team that they know little to nothing about. I don’t think that this match favors the cartel one bit. It could be a long night for the Cartel.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, they weigh in at a combined weight of 740 lbs, Luther Lincoln, Osiris Lincoln and Seth Lincoln; they are... the Anarchy Suicide Squad!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This team looks like a group of men that you wouldn’t want to mess with in a back ally. Years of wrestling on the independent circuit have hardened these men like granite. Tough as nails and razor sharp. Hardcore to the bone. If the Cartel wants a war, they got one.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Psycho Messiah calls these men the Anarchy Suicide Squad. I look at them and I think Kill Squad. This is not going to be a wrestling match folks, this is going to be a brawl.
[ The referee calls for the bell as Seth looks to start first for his team and then calls for Felix to do the same for the other side. Felix looks all too eager to start things off as they circle one another. They are about to lock horns when all of a sudden, Felix quickly goes over and tags in Blood Hunter instead!! The crowd boos as Felix laughs and steps out onto the apron and Blood Hunter enters the ring! Blood Hunter and Seth lock-up and Blood Hunter quickly tosses Seth across the ring, showing off his strength!! Seth gets back to his feet and the two go to lock horns for a second time and Seth takes Blood Hunter’s arm, pulling it behind his back with a hammerlock!! Blood Hunter tries to reach back with his free arm, as Seth does his best to avoid getting caught, only for Blood Hunter to now back him up into one of the corners, forcing the referee to step in! The referee starts to count ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Seth finally lets go of the hold!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s early in the match, but Seth has done a decent job so far neutralizing the much larger Blood Hunter. Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time before they are going to have to go toe to toe with the monster.
[ Blood Hunter spins around and takes a wild swing, that Seth ducks under and now Blood Hunter is trapped in the corner allowing Seth to fire off lefts and rights mixed with kicks and chops laying into Blood Hunter!! Seth stops and takes Blood Hunter by the arm goes for an Irish whip, but Blood Hunter easily reverses it and charges after him only to have Seth dodge to the side at the last second, forcing Blood Hunter to slam into the turnbuckles!! Seth quickly tags in Luther as Blood Hunter staggers around and they team up to deliver a double kick to the gut, hooking Blood Hunter up and then powering him up and over with a double suplex!! Seth leaves the ring as Luther goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Blood Hunter kicks out with authority!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Seth and Luther have done an excellent job so far isolating Blood Hunter on their side of the ring, preventing him from making a tag to a fresh man. Let’s see if they can keep it up.
[ Luther begins to drag Blood Hunter back up, hammering away with some hard rights, before switching behind him and then hooking him up to deliver a back suplex, planting him down on the mat!!! Luther goes for the cover again ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Blood Hunter kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Blood Hunter is a tough son of a bitch, but it wont last forever. He better start thinking about tagging in a fresh man.
[ Luther starts to drag Blood Hunter back up when all of a sudden, Blood Hunter bursts forwards and drives Luther into his corner, pinning him against the turnbuckles and Mil Muertes tags himself in and hammers away on Luther before Blood Hunter exits the ring!! Mil Muertes pulls Luther out from the corner and drops him down with a side Russian leg sweep and goes for a cover ...1 ...2 ...and Luther kicks out with authority!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally, Blood Hunter was able to make the tag to Mil Muertes who was able to get the upper hand on Luther and take him down with that leg sweep. It was never going to be enough to win the match, but it gave Mil Muertes the ability to judge Luther’s endurance.
[ Mil Muertes drags Luther upright and locks on a rear chin-lock trying to wear him down as the referee gets right in there checking on him, but Luther refuses to give up!! Luther battles back to a vertical base where he fires off several elbows to the ribs of Mil Muertes before finally shoving him off into the ropes and then cutting him off with a big clothesline on the return! Mil Muertes gets back up and runs right into a second clothesline before Luther drags Mil Muertes up and whips him off the ropes and hitting a back body drop to take him down!! Osiris reaches over the ropes and tags himself in!! Osiris cuts Mil Muertes off with some clubbing blows to the back and then pulls Mil Muertes up and grabs him by the waist, hitting a gut wrench suplex before going for the cover ...1 ...2 ...and Mil Muertes kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nice teamwork by the Anarchy Suicide Squad to keep rotating the fresh man into the match. We have yet to see the leader of the Cartel, Felix Escobar enter the fray and get his hands dirty.
[ Osiris drags Mil Muertes back up, cracking him in the back of the head with some vicious elbow shots before twisting him around and then dropping him with a neckbreaker!! Instead of going for the cover, Osiris pops right back to his feet and drives a big leg drop across his throat and then rolls him up for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Mil Muertes kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Cartel have no answers right now for the Anarchy Suicide Squad. Maybe it’s time for Felix to get in there and show some leadership. Or is he a coward?
[ Osiris drags him back up and then places Mil Muertes on his shoulder, charging across the ring as he tries to ram him into the corner but Mil Muertes manages to slip down and shove him off before scrambling over and tagging out to Felix, who doesn’t want any part of getting in the ring!! The referee tells Felix to enter the ring now, which he grudgingly does as Osiris glares across at him with a smirk, daring Felix to bring it on! Felix lunges forward and then fires off a flurry of forearms and kicks as he tries to take the fight right to Osiris backing him into the corner only for the referee to intervene and pull Felix off, giving him a stern warning!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Now we are going to see exactly what Felix is made of.
[ Felix argues back at the referee only for Osiris to burst forward, cutting him off and then getting in a few shots!! Osiris then whips Felix off the ropes and drives him down with a discus double axe handle to the chest, that spins Felix inside out!! Osiris stomps away on Felix wearing him down before finally leading him back upright and goes for a short-arm clothesline that Felix ducks under. Osiris turns back towards Felix, only to get caught with a Super Kick right beneath the jaw!! Felix bursts forwards and nails a shining wizard leaving both men down and out!!! Felix clambers back to his feet and hacks away at Osiris before yanking him upright and hitting a tornado DDT!! Felix goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Osiris kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Felix nearly won the match right there with that tornado DDT that spiked Osiris right on the crown of his head!!! What a shot Phillip.
[ Felix tags in Blood Hunter, who enters the ring and immediately drags Osiris back up, firing off some stiff shots!! He then whips him into the ropes and nails him on the rebound with a boot to the face knocking him down before grabbing Osiris by the throat, yanking him back to his feet and setting him up for a chokeslam; but Osiris counters by raking Blood Hunters eyes which allows him to break free of Blood Hunter’s grip followed by a head butt, catching Blood Hunter by surprise!! Osiris then powers Blood Hunter up and drives him back down again with a side slam and then tags out to Luther!! The crowd goes wild as Luther races across the ring and clotheslines Felix knocking him off the apron! Luther goes after Blood Hunter, cutting him off with a kick to the gut before nailing him with a DDT!! Luther begins raining down stiff rights at Blood Hunter’s head, trying to wear him down!! The referee starts his count ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...before finally dragging Luther off and warning knock the shit off!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nothing fancy in this match folks. It’s a straight up slugfest tonight!!!
[ Luther notices Blood Hunter beginning to get up, and he takes off for the ropes only for Mil Muertes to trip him up sending Luther face-first into the canvas!! Luther gets up holding his face before turning and yelling at Mil Muertes allowing Blood Hunter hit Luther in the back of the head with a stiff right, before hooking him up from behind and dropping him with a backbreaker across his knee!! Blood Hunter goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Luther kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a crippling backbreaker by Blood Hunter that could have snapped Luther’s spine!!!
[ Blood Hunter won’t let up there as he drags Luther over to the corner, where he tags in Mil Muertes who dishes out some more stiff rights of his own before hooking him up and bringing Luther down with a nasty chokeslam!!! Mil Muertes tries for a pin as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Luther reaches out and grabs the bottom rope!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Now it’s Luther that needs to get out of the ring and tag in a fresh man. Between Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes they have done a great job isolating Luther, the bigger of the three Lincoln brothers.
[ Mil Muertes gets up and heads back to the corner, lifting himself onto the middle rope before diving off and going for a leg drop; but to his demise Luther rolls out of the way at the last second, causing Mil Muertes to crash to the canvas below!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Not sure what the hell Mil Muertes was thinking. He took a hell of a risk going to the corner and attempting the leg drop. Big guys like him should stay off the ropes like that.
[ The crowd goes wild as both men get back to their feet where Mil Muertes goes for a clothesline, but Luther ducks and hits the ropes coming back with a flying knee!! Luther yanks him back up and tries for an Irish whip but Mil Muertes reverses, lowering his head only to get caught with a knee smash that knocks him back down again!! Luther goes over and tags out to Seth. Seth enters the ring as Mil Muertes picks himself back up in the far corner. Seth races towards him to land and drives a corner clothesline home. Seth then pulls Mil Muertes out from the corner and hits a running Death Valley driver to plant him in the middle of the ring!! Seth goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Mil Muertes powers out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Seth is doing an incredible job keeping the much bigger Mil Muertes off his feet. That well timed Death Valley Driver almost won him the match!!!
[ Seth is pissed that he didn’t get the three count and he gets up and turns to the referee around shoves him in the chest!! The referee looks out across the arena in shock, slowly turning back to glare at Seth before shoving him back in the chest, again showing off that he is the referee and he must be respected!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Not a smart move by Seth right now. The Anarchy Suicide Squad has done a great job in this match fighting toe to toe with the Cartel to let it slip away like this.
[ Luther climbs into the ring and tries to play peacemaker!! Luther tells Seth to calm down as Mil Muertes makes the desperate tag to Felix and rolls out to the floor. Felix climbs into the ring when suddenly, “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee explodes across the arena and the crowd goes wild as Felix stops, turns and looks up the ramp to see Tito Escobar walk out to a tremendous pop!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The longest reigning United States Heavyweight Champion is back in the Empire Caristico, and he’s got his sights set on his brother!!!
[ Back in the ring, Felix gets into an offensive stance as he motions for his step brother to bring it; unaware that from behind Osiris and Seth are ready for the Springboard Doomsday Device!!! Felix is wiped out in the center of the ring as Seth drops down to make the cover ...1 ...2 ...and Blood Hunter tries to get in the ring but he’s cut off by Luther stopping him ...3!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Luther, Seth and Osiris Lincoln!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Anarchy Suicide Squad picked up their first win here in the Empire, but not without a nod to Tito Escobar.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Tito has been making one shot appearance’s since getting fired from the Empire back at All Hallows Evil about four months ago.
[ The crowd cheers Tito as he struts down to the ring and slowly climbs in as Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes grab Felix and drag him out. Tito pulls a mic out of his back pocket and watches his stepbrother stagger back up the ramp with his teammates assistance. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – Félix, ¿adónde vas hermano? ¿No estás feliz de verme? ¿Me has extrañado? Esperé semanas y meses para venir aquí y enfrentarte y ahora metes la cola entre las nalgas y huyes como un perro. Padre no estaría muy feliz contigo. (Felix, where are you going brother? Aren't you happy to see me? Have you missed me? I've waited weeks and months to come out here and face you and now you tuck your tail between your ass cheeks and you run away like some dog. Father would not be very happy with you.)
[ The Vietnamese crowd is dumfounded not understanding that language. Tito puts his hand up with a smile... ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – Sorry, sorry; my bad. I forgot my manners. Let me translate for everyone here tonight and for you Felix just in-case you don’t get where this is going. We all know that you weren’t the brightest of children when we grew up.
[ Now the crowd cheers understanding him. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – March 6th, Last Rites; I’m taking back what you screwed me out of!!! I’m coming for your roster spot!!!
[ Tito slams the mic to the mat as the crowd explodes to their feet cheering. Back at the top of the ramp, Felix’s eyes are bulging out of his head as he cannot believe that he has to face Tito at the upcoming pay per view event!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, we have just learned what our first match at Last Right’s is going to be and boy is it big. Tito Escobar will face his half-brother Felix with Felix’s roster spot hanging in the balance!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – We are finally going to see these two brothers settle their differences inside the ring with Felix’s roster spot at the prize. What a match we are going to be treated to folks. I have seen both of these men wrestle over the years and I can tell you that this is going to be a hell of a match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, for a while now we have watched the demise of Godzilla Sanchez as he was brainwashed by the Mean Girls. His actions led to him breaking up the Three Best Friends and even the beating of his best friend Maverick. Tonight, Godzilla has sent in a video package that he has asked us to show. Let’s watch.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Godzilla Sanchez sitting on a plane. He still has his hair black and his cool beard grown but he seems sad.]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Dual champion, heartbroken and lost. That is where I stood Sunday night. I appreciate Zelda giving me so much truth, but I've been on such a weird journey, I needed to go find myself again.
[ We see Godzilla walking the coast. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - I flew to Mazatlan, Sinaola, Mexico, the home town of my mother and where my family came from. They started as humble fishermen and eventually fell into the unsavory business of the cartels, but I wasn't here for that. I dined in the restaurants my mom told me of and ate fresh ceviches and shrimp tamales, I visited the local attractions and stood at the top of the lighthouse and felt more Mexican pride then I've ever truly felt in my life. So long I had ignored this part of myself and my heritage cause of the pain it caused me. Mother has been dead for 20 years now, I still miss her but did I need to anymore? Had becoming Greyson Suave drawn me closer to her, or has it helped release the sadness and hate within me and allowed me to move forward.
[ We cut to Godzilla walking the streets of San Diego. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - I then went to my hometown of San Diego, near La Jolla beach. Maybe I never met or knew my real father, but I never dwelled because Tank was always more than enough and Bella was the best sister one could ask for.
[ Godzilla arrives in front of an old gym. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - This is where I trained to be a wrestler and found my true passion in life. I'm a success right, was it all worth it, this business has given me so much, but lately, it's taken so much away from me.
[ Godzilla stands in a hotel room looking in the mirror. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - So, where did this soul quest lead me to? Am I Greyson Suave or am I Godzilla Sanchez? Who best represents the real me? Who am I now, can I go back?
[ The video ends and the crowd is silent. Suddenly “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult starts up and out stomps Godzilla Sanchez, his hair is bleached again and he's shaven with new trunks that proudly display the seal of Sinaloa on them. The US title is around his waist and he holds the Cruiserweight title up high. He spits his mist out and stomps to the ring. He gets on the top rope and sprays out more mist before hoping in the ring with the microphone. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back to just being Godzilla. First, I'd like to apologize to the fans. I was blinded and I thought I was doing what my love wanted, but alas, we all know that wasn't the case. It wasn't all for not though, I truthfully don't know if I could have matched Travis Blake's hate if I hadn't made the switch, and without that, I might not have these two belts. I've done a lot of thinking and soul searching lately, but it’s all for not if I don't do this next thing. Maverick, please come to the ring.
[ “Highway to the Danger Zone” starts up and out walks Maverick. He holds his Six-man title belt in the air and does a slow-motion pose with it before walking to the ring. He gets in and just stares at Godzilla. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Maverick, I went too far in our match and for that I apologize. I apologize for putting the girl before you and I promise to try and never let that happen again. Can you forgive me?
[ Maverick takes the mic and thinks about it. ]
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You realize you almost killed me with that chair shot? I don't remember how that match ended and I'm pretty sure I forgot Geometry in the process.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - In my defense, you did throw me through a window and then off a stage.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - Because you were about to do the same to me.
[ Godzilla nods that he’s correct. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Well, alright I apologized, what do I have to do to make this right?
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You vacated our six-man belts, I mean Stone and I are still the champs, but you know, it's not the same.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - I can't fix that one I don't think, but we can still chill, just need to remember to keep a whole-body space between us and Aoife.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - And you also need to earn the right to date my sister.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - What do you want, money, women, power? A nice steak dinner followed by some cotton candy and cookies?
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - I had you beat in that Cruiserweight title match and I want a rematch.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Consider it done, let’s do it at Last Rites.
[ The crowd cheers this. ]
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - And, you in the Emperors Crown Tournament.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Right.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You remember a Knights Tale?
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Of course, Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - Next week, in your match with Steve Scott, you are not to perform a move of offense.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - You’re telling me to lose?
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You need to prove to me that winning isn't more important than our friendship, and I'd rather not have you lay down for me, so let’s do it that way.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - That's a pretty big ask Maverick.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - This is the way God, take it or leave it.
[ Maverick walks away as Godzilla is left thinking as the cameras cut to the back where we see Tony Tran standing by with the Golden BoyZ and Courtney Cox. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls; children of all ages. It is my distinct pleasure to introduce to you the NEW Million Dollar Dream Team.
[ Tran pauses with a smile as the camera zooms in on the smug Golden BoyZ and the angry Courtney Cox. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Now you have to be wondering what makes this group any different than the last? Well, the Million Dollar Man has decided to put his wrestling gear away and focus on being the best damn manager the Empire has ever had, currently has, or will ever have. 2022 will be the year of the Million Dollar Dream Team. When the Hall of Fame comes knocking, I will be the first person to go in as both a wrestler and a manager!!!
[ Tran pauses as he smugly looks into the camera. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Just look at the team I have assembled. The Golden BoyZ. A hot young tag team that is on the verge of greatness. Courtney Cox, a diamond in the rough that I will mold into a future Women’s World Champion. But that’s not all. My sister Erica is out there right now scouring the globe looking for just the right person to join this elite organization!!! The Million Dollar Dream Team will make it’s run toward greatness and tonight it starts with you Lynch Mob. You bunch of country hick’s, tonight you get schooled in greatness. Tonight, money talks and your country asses walk.
[ A pissed off Courtney steps up in-front of Tran. ]
Courtney Cox – Aoife, at Climax you and that ape Mitch Fierce got lucky. You and I know that I am the better wrestler. That I would have made you happier than he ever could. You made the wrong choice yah dumb bitch and one of these days you’re going to pay for that decision. The heartbreak and the embarrassment you caused me. But that’s later. Tonight, Z.O.E. walks into a shit storm. Tonight, I’m going to whoop your ass so bad you’ll be begging to put that mask back on. You may be a part of the Edge clan, but that don’t scare me in the least. Just look at all of you. With every generation it seems like you all get dumber and dumber. Maverick? Idiot. Conner? Idiot. Bella? Biggest idiot of all. Tonight, I stamp my place in the Women’s division by taking another Edge down!!!
[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – So, what I got out of all that noise was that Tony Tran is hanging up his wrestling boots and is going to focus on his managerial duties. Looking at their record I can agree that it’s a smart move. It wasn’t like they were competing for titles anyway.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Even though Tran still thinks he’s got what it takes to be a singles star, he needs to step aside and focus on these young superstars. As much as I hate to say it, he does have the knowledge to manage these kids. He’s been through it all over the years both here in the Empire and abroad. Maybe he’s right. Maybe he can mold Courtney into a future superstar.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are about to find out the answer to that very question as Courtney Cox takes on newcomer Zelda Edge!!! Harvey, take it away partner!!!
Zelda Edge vs Courtney Cox
“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 being accompanied by Tony Tran, she weighs in at 110 lbs, this is... Courtney Cox!!!
[ The fans cheer Courtney Cox on as “Make me smile” by Louise Dowd & Jason Tarver rocks the arena and she makes her way down to the ring with a serious look on her face. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a pair these two make Caristico as Tony Tran has taken Courtney under his wing to mentor her. The last time we saw these two together they were on the losing end of the stick when they lost their match at Climax to Mitch Fierce and Aoife Valkyrie.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I wish someone would try and talk some sense into her. It’s like I am in some theater watching “Revenge of the Sith” all over again seeing Anakin being seduced to the dak side of the force by Emperor Palpatine.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponents. Making her way to the ring from Scottsdale, Arizona; weighing in at 120 lbs, Z.O.E.!!!
[ “I want to conquer the world” by Bad Religion starts up and out comes Z.O.E and does an Arabesque. She turns and runs to the ring and slides in. She gets up and does a pirouette on pointe to the center of the ring and holds the position. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, after Blackout it was announced that along with Matthew Kirk, Zelda Edge would also be joining the Empire family. Zelda comes from an incredible lineage in the Edge family.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Zelda has a very good background in wrestling, traveling abroad under the guise of the Shadow Moth. Tonight, she puts her mask aside and walks out here as part of Tank’s ever-growing legacy. Tank has to be a very proud man knowing what he has done to keep this great sport alive.
[The referee calls for the bell as Z.O.E. and Courtney circle each other around the ring before eventually locking horns in the center of the ring as the two Women have a contest of strength; one that Z.O.E. seems to easily establish control before pushing Courtney away. Courtney is not one to easily give up and immediately locks up with Z.O.E. once again, this time it is Courtney who takes control and pushes Z.O.E. away. Z.O.E. doesn’t go far, as she rushes back towards Courtney and delivers a stiff kick to her gut before grabbing her by the top of the neck and slamming her face-first into the canvas with a vicious faceplant. Z.O.E. begins to show her aggressive side as she grabs the neck of Courtney once again, repeatedly slamming her face into the canvas, each impact sending an echo across the arena. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – We don’t know a hell of a lot about Zelda Edge, but if she’s anything like Tank; she’s got a temper that you don’t wanna mess with.
[ After slamming Courtney’s face into the mat, Z.O.E. gets to her feet and lets out a primal scream. Courtney climbs back to her feet and rubs a hand across her face, wiping away a spot of blood that has appeared on her forehead. From the ringside area, Tony Tran barks out instructions for Courtney and she nods her head approving. The two women then have a stare down across the ring from each other before charging at one another and trading lefts and rights where they stand; neither woman seems to be at an advantage and neither seems to be relenting. Courtney takes control of the situation by ducking a high kick from Z.O.E. and pulling on the back of her hair and slamming her down to the canvas; much to the chagrin of the referee who admonishes her for using the hair. Ringside, Tony Tran claps and cheers her on. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Look at the smug Tony Tran at ringside cheering Courtney on for doing that. Is that what Courtney really needs right now is a sniveling little prick like Tony Tran teaching her this shit?
[ Courtney mounts Z.O.E. and begins to hail down lefts and rights over the back of her head and the referee begins his count, …1 …2 …3 …4 …and the he is forced to pull Courtney away from Z.O.E. who is unable to protect herself. The punches only seem to have angered Z.O.E. who quickly pulls herself back to her feet, before rushing Courtney and tackling her into one of the corners. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This wrestling match has broken down into something that resembles more of a barroom brawl if you ask me. If this keeps up, I can see the referee tossing both women out.
[ Z.O.E. nails Courtney with repeated shoulder blocks, and Courtney has no choice but to absorb the punishment But Z.O.E. isn’t finished yet as she lifts Courtney up and places her on the top turnbuckle, before grabbing her left leg and sweeping it out from under her, sending Courtney crashing down, back-first, onto the mat! Z.O.E. screams at Courtney before climbing to the second rope and leaping into the air and nailing Courtney with a second rope leg drop! Z.O.E. quickly drops an arm over Courtney for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Courtney kicks out with authority as Z.O.E. seems shocked that it wasn’t over!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - Z.O.E. is starting to quicken the pace as she can sense Courtney is starting to lose some steam here which might leave an opening for a pin-fall victory.
[ Z.O.E. seems perplexed that Courtney managed to kick out of that, so she drags Courtney to her feet, but Z.O.E. seems to take a second too long to decide which move to do next, and Courtney manages to push Z.O.E. away and when Z.O.E. turns around, Courtney flattens her with a leaping clothesline! Courtney knows that this is not enough to put away Z.O.E., so she grabs the hair of Z.O.E., forcing her back to her feet, before planting her back down to the floor once again with a devastating DDT! Courtney wants to end this match now, so she hooks the legs of Z.O.E. and goes for the pin as the referee drops down for the count …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Z.O.E. kicks out]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a nasty DDT that saw Z.O.E. get spiked right on the crown of her head. If her hair wasn’t already red, you might see glimpses of blood.
[ Courtney seems frustrated at not being able to put Z.O.E. away, so she uses the ropes to pull herself back up where she begins to stalk Z.O.E., waiting for her to get to her feet. The moment that Z.O.E. stands up, Courtney charges at her and knocks her down with a running single leg dropkick. Z.O.E. is almost immediately back on her feet only to be knocked down once again with another dropkick! But the third time Courtney isn’t so lucky and Z.O.E. manages to block the move, before running at the ropes and on the rebound nailing Courtney with a quick swinging neckbreaker! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Courtney went to the well one too many times and Z.O.E. drew her right in to that swinging neckbreaker!!!
[ Z.O.E. grabs Courtney and pulls her back to her feet looking to put her away with the Farores Wind (Fisherman’s Pinning Suplex), but at the last possible moment Tony Tran leaps onto the ring apron and starts screaming at the referee who rushes over and tells him to get the hell down!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Z.O.E. was about to end this thing when that snake Tony Tran stuck his nose in the match again!!! ]
[ Z.O.E. rushes at Tony Tran and takes a wild swing and Tony drops down to the floor laughing at her. When she turns around, Courtney kicks Z.O.E. in the gut and drives her face down into the mat with a side double-underhook DDT!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Not this way!!! That cheating bastard Tony Tran is going to help Courtney steal a win from Z.O.E. tonight!!!
[ Courtney turns Z.O.E. over and hooks both of her legs as the referee counts …1 …2 …but Z.O.E. reverses it into a rear naked choke pin of her own as the referee counts again …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Z.O.E.!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a win by Zelda!!! She looks as stunned as we do right now!!!
[ The referee raises Zelda’s arm in victory, when from behind Courtney explodes at her and nails her from behind with a diving forearm smash to the back of the neck!!! Tony climbs into the ring barking orders at Courtney and she listens as she locks on the Sweet Dreams (Cobra Clutch) thrashing Zelda about trying to make her pass out. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Zelda needs some help out here!!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet as and “The Final Sacrifice” by Ivan Bertolla explodes across the arena and Aoife Valkyrie, Godzilla, Maverick and Mitch Fierce rush down to the ring and dive in. Tony and Courtney laugh their asses off as Godzilla tends to Zelda and Aoife watches as her former best friend laughs at them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Caristico, this is not the Courtney Cox that we knew so well when the Empire reopened. That sweet young girl has disappeared and this version is what we are left with and honestly, I hate it.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That sweet young girl has been twisted into this perverted version of herself. Someone needs to talk some sense into her and show her the errors of her ways. That she doesn’t need to go down this path to be a winner.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I think what she lacks is patience right now. She wants immediate results and doesn’t want to do the hard work to earn it. It’s like most kids these days that want immediate results with little to no work to get it. Folks, as we try and get some control in the ring; let’s head to the back as the Lynch Mob have something on their minds after listening to Tony Tran’s rant.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows a very irritated Joey and Matt Lynch pacing back and forth like wild dogs while Mance Warner is seen pounding down a Budweiser in the background. ]
Joey Lynch – Tony Tran, you just haven’t learned your fucking lesson; have you? You have always fucking sucked as a wrestler and you suck even more as a manager. All you’ve done for the Golden BoyZ is taken them down a rabbit hole of loss after fucking loss. The Golden BoyZ were once one of the top tag teams in the Empire until you sunk your claws into them. Now look at them. They aren’t even a five-hundred team right now. Great job, manager of the year.
Matt Lynch – Golden BoyZ, you pathetic pieces of shit. You crawled into bed with that worthless worm Tony Tran thinking that he was going to take you to the promised land, but all he’s done is destroy your careers. How the mighty have fallen BoyZ. From top contender to bottom feeders.
Joey Lynch – BoyZ, let’s just spell it out for you. You’re nothen more than a steppin’ stone to what we have been fighting for over a year now and that’s the World Tag Team titles. Zealot’s, congratulations on becoming World Champions. But don’t turn your backs on us because we’re coming for you. We’re coming for those straps and we’re coming for blood.
[ The Lynch Mob storm off as the camera cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Strong words by Joey and Matt tonight as they head into this match that has great importance for both teams as they jockey for position within the division.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Lynch Mob are not known to mince words. They are a more of, walk right up to you and smack you in the mouth and dare you to hit you back. Tonight, we are going to see just how far they can push the Golden BoyZ before they push back.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This match has pay per view written all over it. The winner will move into title contention while the loser takes another step back. Neither can afford to lose tonight as the tag team division gets even more crowded with the addition of the Anarchy Suicide Squad.
The Golden BoyZ vs The Lynch Mob
“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 Mance Warner, they weigh in at a combined weight of 433 lbs.; Joey and Matt Lynch; they are… the Lynch Mob!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage followed by Mance. The Lynch Mob make their way down to the ring and climb in each taking a corner and screaming at the crowd getting them pumped up as Mance makes his way around the ring taking his spot near their corner. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here are the Lynch Mob. These southern brawlers have a nine and eight record and right now they tank third in the tag team division right behind the New Regime and the Guerillas of Destiny in that order as they all look up at the new champions the Zealots.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Like you said, the tag team division is getting much more crowded with the addition of the Anarchy Suicide Squad and the Forgotten with all guns pointed at the Zealots!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents!!! Making their way to the ring being accompanied by their manager “The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran, they weigh in at a combined weight of 393 lbs., Jake and Dave Anderson; they are… The Golden BoyZ!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as the two brothers strut out on stage and make their way down to the ring with Tony Tran dressed in a suit and sunglasses close behind them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here are the Tony Tran led Golden BoyZ as they refocus their efforts to get back into the title hunt, but first they have to get past the Lynch Mob who are firmly standing in their way tonight.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Lynch Mob wasn’t wrong when they said that the Golden BoyZ were at the top of their game back when the Empire reopened. Now they are looked as a laughing stock within the division under Tran. They are all hoping that with Tran stepping away from wrestling they can re-energize their efforts and regain what they once had.

Dave Anderson uses a backslide pin attempt on Joey Lynch as Dave uses the ropes for leverage and Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...and the referee sees he’s holding the ropes and stops the count!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The referee was very lenient with that break allowing just the tip of his fingers to touch the rope. Most referees would require the person to get his entire hand around the ropes.
[ Matt Lynch runs into the ropes and Jake Anderson tries for a clothesline, but Matt Lynch counters it with a Gorilla Press Slam. Matt Lynch rolls Jake Anderson up as Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...and Jake kicks out!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, the Golden BoyZ!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tony Tran is beside himself right now as his BoyZ just defeated the Lynch Mob after a grueling match. I still wonder if Matt Lynch would have been able to stop that pin attempt if Tran didn’t grab his leg, but we will never know.
[ Tran is soaking the victory in as he celebrates in the middle of the ring like they just won the Super Bowl when suddenly, “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena and the former World Tag Team Champions the New Regime storm out on stage!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Ito and Shogun are here and they look pissed!!!
[ The two former champions climb into the ring and demand a mic as the Golden BoyZ back off to a neutral corner with Tony Tran just glaring at them pissed that they stole their spotlight. Shogun points right at the Golden BoyZ and Tran. ]
Shinigami Shogun – You three bitches don’t even think about making a move.
Rasputin Ito – Zealots. Blackout. You two got real damn lucky. In fact, it took that drink ass bitch Prophet to hit my boy Shogun here with that dumb ass book of yours to beat us.
Shinigami Shogun – Don’t think for a second that I haven’t forgotten what you did. You see “Champs”, before our boss got his clocked cleaned earlier tonight; we visited him in his suite and we asked for our rematch.
Rasputin Ito – That’s right. And we aint waiten’ for Last Rites. We’re doing this right here next week on Adrenaline.
[ Tran chuckles as he tells his Golden BoyZ to stay back as he approaches Shogun and Ito. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Excuse me, but who in the hell do you two think you are? You lost your titles. You lost your opportunity to challenge for them again. Didn’t you just see what we did to the Lynch Mob? Do you even know who we are?
Shinigami Shogun – Mid-card chumps!!!
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Very funny. Very funny. No, wrong answer. These are the Golden BoyZ and they are the new measuring sticks in the tag team division so do yourselves a favor and get your asses to the... gawk!!!
[ And before Tran can finish his statement, Ito snatches out and grasps Tran by the throat choking him!!! The Golden BoyZ explode into action as all four men start exchanging punches, kicks and chops!!! Suddenly, the World Tag Team Champions the Zealots hit the ring and attack the New Regime from behind clubbing them with their World title belts. Both men are down and out as the Golden BoyZ collect Tran and head back up the ramp. The Zealots stand over a busted up New Regime holding their title belts high in the air. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – After all that it’s Insanity and Painkiller that stand supreme over both the Golden BoyZ and the New Regime. Now I can’t wait until next week to see this massive rematch!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The New Regime have a great point. If it wasn’t for Prophet where he attacked Shogun with that book, the New Regime may very well be the World Champions still. The New Regime better have a plan to neutralize Prophet next week because you know as well as I do, he will be ringside.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, a little while ago we watched as Tito Escobar returned to the Empire and announced that he will be taking on his step-brother Felix as Last Rites where if Felix loses then he will vacate his roster spot back to Tito. Our cameras caught up with the Cartel shortly after. Let’s listen in and hear what transpired.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Felix Escobar and the rest of the Cartel backstage and Felix does not look very happy. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – He’s not supposed to be here!!! He lost his match and he was banished from the Empire. He’s like some damn cockroach!!!
Pedro Supremo – Everything is going to be fine boss. You got this. He’s not even in your league. You’ve beaten him countless times back in Mexico. There’s now ay he can beat you now. He’s been out of action for four months!!!
Mil Muertes – Besides, we got your back. He doesn’t stand a chance against the combined force of the entire Cartel!!!
[ Felix likes the sound of that, and he starts to calm down a bit. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – You’re right. You’re absolutely right. I have nothing to fear from him. He’s an outcast. A man without a family. He’s nothing to me or my father.
[ And he turns toward Holidead with evil in his eyes. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – I want you to go out there tonight and I just don’t want you to win that match, but I want you to maim that little bird. Aoife Valkyrie must pay for the actions of her lover. It’s time we sent a message to Mitch Fierce that the Cartel never forgets those that screw them over!!!
[ Holidead smiles and nods her head in agreement as they walk out of the room. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Is it me or does Felix seem a bit rattled by the return of Tito Escobar tonight?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Rattled is a great choice of words partner. Felix nearly shit his pants when Tito’s music hit and he marched himself right down to the ring showing little to no fear at all. Either Tito has balls as big as bowling balls or he’s mentally challenged to do that.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t decide who I want to see win that match at the pay per view. The devil we all know, or the devil we all hate right now. Folks, it’s time for the women of the Empire to take center stage as Aoife Valkyrie takes on Holidead. Let’s go back to the ring as our good friend Harvey Weinstein is ready for the introductions.
Aoife Valkyrie vs Holidead
“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, being accompanied by Felix Escobar; she weighs in at 188 lbs., this is… Holidead!!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos as “Little Miss Scare-All" by Type O Negative explodes through the arena and as Holidead walks out from the back with a well-dressed Felix Escobar right behind her. Together, they walk down to the ring and she climbs in. Holidead drops to her knees and raises her arms in the air with a smile on her face!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s been a while since we have seen Holidead inside an Empire ring after suffering a knee injury that had sidelined her. Tonight, she makes her return to the ring with a three and seven record and is currently ranked fourth in the Women’s National rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have had the opportunity to watch Holidead wrestle for a while now and she is the kind of woman that can rip off a dozen wins and get right back to the top of the ladder. Even though Aoife is ranked higher, let’s not count Holidead out yet.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent!! Making her way to the ring being accompanied by Mitch Fierce, she weighs in at 130lbs, this is... Aoife Valkyrie!!!
[ The crowd pops as “The Final Sacrifice” by Ivan Bertolla explodes across the arena and Aoife Valkyrie walks out onstage hand in hand with Mitch Fierce. Together they make their way down to the ring and climb in. Aoife sits on the middle rope crossing her legs with a smile on her face as Mitch shakes the top rope menacingly. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Aoife has been a changed woman since joining up with Mitch Fierce. She seems to have come out of her shell, even scoring a big win at Climax over her once best friend Courtney Cox and her mentor Tony Tran.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Aoife has made her intentions pretty clear. She wants to make 2022 the year of the Valkyrie and with her newfound attitude she wants to win gold. With that being said, she comes into tonight’s match-up against Holidead with a two and three record and she holds onto the number two spot to Shanna’s National title. A win tonight will go a long way to setting up an eventual title match.
[ As the bell sounds, the two women meet in the center of the ring. Holidead is considerably much more powerful, but Aoife doesn’t back down for an instant. Holidead seems almost amused by Aoife, snickering as she watches Aoife size her up. Holidead is actually smaller than Aoife height wise, but Holidead has a good twenty pounds or so in weight and certainly has much more muscle mass. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - You can see Aoife has no fear right now as she stares Holidead right in the eyes. That’s is a trait that she has learned from Mitch over the past few months. She’s got the heart of a lion!!!
[ Aoife shoves Holidead, showing she’s not scared. Holidead seems irritated, but the two women seem to be playing with one another’s ego right now. Aoife lunges forward for a tie-up and Holidead looks like she’s going to oblige, but right as Aoife gets close enough to tie up; Holidead grabs her by the face and pie-faces her down to the mat. Aoife lands on her ass but hops up immediately; her face a fiery red!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You can see she’s pretty pissed off right now as her Irish blood is seething.
[ Ringside, Mitch Fierce yells at Aoife to stay calm and not let Holidead get in her head. Aoife lunges for a tie-up and again Holidead grabs her by the face and pie-faces her back to the mat. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That’s twice now Holidead has added insult to injury by slapping Aoife down to the mat. At some point Aoife is going to pop off and then we are going to see this little Irish spit-fire kick some ass.
[ Holidead is just toying with Aoife and she hates it. Aoife gets up again as Mitch Fierce leans through the ropes giving her some instructions. Holidead signals for a tie-up and Aoife lunges forward and this time Holidead locks up with her only to headbutt Aoife. Aoife drops to the canvas in a daze, getting her bell rung; and Holidead hops on top of her as the referee counts …1 …2 …and Aoife shoots her shoulder up!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Holidead knows that she has more ring experience than Aoife does, and right now she is just toying with Aoife. It’s like a cat playing with its food before it devours it.
[ Holidead is all smiles, taunting the crowd as if it’s over. Aoife sees the opening and grabs Holidead’s wrist. Aoife turns it and has Holidead trapped in a wristlock. Aoife gets behind Holidead and tries to keep it locked on, but Holidead sends a back elbow into the face of Aoife she releases the hold. Holidead grabs Aoife and whips her to the ropes, but Aoife is faster than she expected, and Aoife springboards into the air and drives a pair of boots right into the chest of Holidead that sends her crashing down to the mat. Holidead gets right back up, but Aoife is there and uppercuts her with a balled-up fist that stuns Holidead. Aoife wastes no time and runs Holidead over with a clothesline and then yanks her up by the hair and knees her in the gut followed by a sunset flip pinning combination as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Holidead barely kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The arena is going nuts right now as Aoife is ripping into Holidead. That sunset flip nearly got her the win she is desperately looking for.
[ Holidead gets up and Aoife goes right at her, but this time Holidead punches Aoife in the mouth with a blatant closed fist. Aoife checks her mouth and sees blood on her fingers as her lip is split. From under the bottom rope, Felix Escobar reaches in and grabs Aoife by the boots distracting her. Aoife spins around and kicks toward Felix who puts his arms up like he did nothing and backs away from the ropes as the referee saw nothing. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Are you kidding me? That guy is guilty as sin!!!
[ Holidead takes advantage of the momentary distraction to rake her nails across Aoife’s back!!! Aoife swings wildly, but Holidead ducks and chop blocks Aoife in the knee. With Aoife hunched over in pain, Holidead grabs her head and hits a perfect vertical suplex. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I’ve got a bad feeling about this right now.
[ Holidead gets up to her feet and drops a leg across the throat of Aoife. Holidead stays in that position using her leg drop into a pining combination as the referee is down for the count …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Aoife kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – There’s still life left in Aoife and Mitch knows it as he is pounding on the ring apron trying to get her fired up.
[ Aoife is stunned as she tries figure out where she is, and she swears she can hear the entire crowd booing her, when it’s actually Holidead. Aoife’s able to look up just long enough to see Holidead standing over her, mocking a yawn and stretch, like she is bored. The next thing Aoife knows she’s being hauled up by her hair and forced to stand. She feels herself being lifted off the mat and into the air. The crowd boos as Holidead goes for the Darkness Falls (Angels Wings), but Aoife twists and counters with a Backslide Crucifix pin attempt as the referee dives over to make the count …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Aoife Valkyrie!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead along with the rest of the arena look stunned right now as Aoife Valkyrie just pulled off the upset of the night with that backslide crucifix pin!!!
[ Felix climbs into the ring as Holidead sits on the mat in stunned disbelief. He watches as Aoife rolls out of the ring and rushes over to Mitch who is laughing at Felix and takes her hand and walks her back up the ramp. The reach the top of the landing and he raises her arm in the air and the sold-out crowd gives her a standing ovation!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s two losses tonight that the Cartel suffered and you can rest assured that at some point tonight Felix’s father will be calling to express his displeasure with the group.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we need to break away right now because we are hearing that there has been an attack on the Guerillas of Destiny backstage. Let’s look and listen in and see what just transpired.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows the Guerillas of Destiny sprawled out on the cement floor moaning in pain. Travis Blake walks onto the scene and crouches down between them. The legs of two other men can be seen behind Travis, but you cannot see their faces. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Boys, boys, boys; not to overstate the obvious, but you all looked pretty fucked up. Now normally I love a good gift. Hell with Valentine’s Day coming I have been banging my head over what to get Amber. She loves expensive jewelry and hey...
[ Travis looks down and sees the expensive watches on each of the Guerillas wrists. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – I see that you both love expensive jewelry too. Unfortunately, boys, not at my expense.
[ And Travis yanks each watch off their wrists and hands it to the two men behind him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Consider this payment in full gentlemen. Welcome to the Club.
[ Travis then looks down at Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – It pains me to say this, but neither one of you lived up to the hype. Consider this your termination papers. The Bullet Club no longer needs your services!!!
[ Travis turns back to the two unknown men. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Let’s get out of here. I got a tournament to win.
[ Travis and the two men walk off as EMT’s rush over to tend to the Guerillas. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Did I just see what I think I just saw? Did Travis Blake just fire the Guerillas of Destiny?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I guess he was pretty upset when they took that bribe from the Mean Girls back at Blackout that cost him a chance at beating Godzilla. I mean, we will never really know if they would have made any difference; but it might have.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – All I can say is wow. We just witnessed the Bullet Club self-destructing right before our very eyes tonight. Where do they go from here is the big question and who are these two mystery men that Travis just brought on board to take the Guerillas out? Folks, if things couldn’t get any crazier, our next match is a first-round match in the Emperor’s Crown Tournament and it pits the man we just saw, Travis Blake taking on the leader of the Anarchy Suicide Squad Psycho Messiah. This one should be good. Let’s head back to the ring for the introductions.
In a First Round Emperors Crown Tournament Match
Travis Blake vs Psycho Messiah
“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 Emperor’s Crown 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 thirteen and seven record and is coming off a very good tag team victory over the Forgotten at Blackout where he teamed with Chandler Hopkins.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – With the unforeseen departure of Massive Mike from the Empire, Psycho Messiah moved up in the rankings and now finds himself at number six. That’s a two-spot jump for a man that was looking at the number eight seed and a possible match-up with Mitch Fierce in the first round. What a huge bullet he just dodged.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Paul Heyman, he weighs in at 175 lbs, and is "The Face of the Empire”, this is… Travis Blake!!!
[ The crowd boos as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as Travis walks out on stage as 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 – What a crazy night for Travis Blake. First the Mean Girls get fired from the Bullet Club. Then we watch as he superkicks the owner of the Empire. And just moments ago, the Guerrillas were laid out backstage in what appears to be a premeditated attack by Travis and two unknown assailants.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis is making a statement. You cross him and there will be hell to pay. The Guerillas and the Mean Girls crossed the line and tonight they paid the price.
[ The bell sounds as Travis and Psycho Messiah prepare to lock horns only for Psycho Messiah to suddenly strike out with a kick to the gut, taking Travis by surprise! Psycho Messiah gets right in Travis’s face, taunting him and then charging off into the ropes only to run right back into a dropkick by Travis!! Both men scramble back to their feet, with Travis pummeling Psycho Messiah with a series of stiff rights that back him into the corner, where he then goes for an Irish whip into the turnbuckles, but Psycho Messiah reverses it and sends Travis into the turnbuckles, and then charges in after Travis only to have Travis twist and slip his body between the ropes, sitting there on the middle one as Psycho Messiah crashes against the corner, and then receives a pair of boots to the face as Travis seesaws backwards! Psycho Messiah stumbles away as Travis re-positions himself back in the ring and then hops up onto the middle rope, until Psycho Messiah turns back around and Travis dives off connecting with a European uppercut right to the jaw! Psycho Messiah goes down in a heap as Travis goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Messiah manages to kick out!!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, Travis is on fire tonight. After he got screwed by his own teammates back at Blackout, he’s really intensified his game.
[ Travis drags Psycho Messiah back up by a handful of hair and he hooks him up from behind for what looks to be a Scorpion Death Drop, but Psycho Messiah battles back, twisting his body back around and drives Travis into the corner shoulder first!!! Travis lunges at Psycho Messiah going for a clothesline only to have Psycho Messiah duck it and grab Travis with a waist lock, pushing him right into the ropes and then rolling him over backwards with an O’Connor roll, for the pin as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Travis powers out!!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Wow, Travis really dodged a bullet right there with that desperation move by Psycho Messiah. Travis got caught off-guard and it nearly cost him the match.
[ Both men get back to their feet, but it’s Psycho Messiah who lashes out first this time, landing a stiff kick to the gut that doubles Travis over before dropping him with a DDT!! Psycho Messiah again goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Travis drops his leg across the bottom rope!!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – If Psycho Messiah can find a way to hit the Dead at Dawn it might be lights out for Travis at this point.
[ Psycho Messiah pulls Travis upright and applies a headlock, wrenching it on tight and trying to wear Travis down but Travis battles back to a vertical base as he fires off a couple of elbows to the ribs, weakening Psycho Messiah’s grip and then charges off into the rope, but Psycho Messiah cuts Travis off with a well-timed knee to the gut that sends Travis spiraling over and onto his back!!! Psycho Messiah then heads over to the corner and climbs to the top turnbuckle as he taunts Travis to get back to his feet, waiting for the right moment to dive into the air and go for a missile dropkick but yet Travis is somehow able to catch him by the legs in mid-air, causing Psycho Messiah to slam back hard onto the canvas. Travis then twists Psycho Messiah over right into a Texas Cloverleaf!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis is going for the kill shot right now trying to get Messiah to tap out.
[ The crowd goes wild as the referee gets right in there to ask Psycho Messiah if he wants to give it up but Psycho Messiah refuses to do so, instead battling and clawing his way across the ring, edging closer and closer and finally grabbing the bottom rope to force the break! Travis does so, allowing Psycho Messiah to get back up, and as Psycho Messiah tries to fight off the pain; he then lunges towards Travis only to have Travis duck the attempted attack and hook him up from behind once again, this time driving Psycho Messiah down with the diving reverse DDT!! Travis crouches in the corner, waiting for Messiah to get back to his feet and he does so; Travis explodes at him taking Messiah out with the Weapon X (the Last Shot)!!! Psycho Messiah is out cold as Travis covers him for the …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Travis Blake!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a demonstration tonight by Travis Blake easily dispatching Psycho Messiah on his way to the second round of the Emperor’s Crown Tournament.
[ Travis climbs out of the ring, not even waiting for the referee to raise his hand in victory. He marches right over to the cameraman and yells into it. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Let that be an example to all of you as to why I am called “The Face of the Empire”!!!
[ As he starts ripping off his taped-up wrists and hands, he stops and watches as the Forgotten rush the ring and surround Psycho Messiah. Jake Owens on one side of the ring, Aric Cannon on another, Marc Fulton with an evil smile to one side and finally Steve Scott taking the last remaining side of the ring. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This doesn’t look good one bit for Psycho Messiah!!! The numbers game alone is not in his favor. Maybe if it was one on one, but this is all out, gang warfare right now.
[ Travis stops, thinks about helping for a second; and then shakes his head and walks back up the ramp. The four men on the ring apron slowly climb into the ring as Psycho Messiah slowly turns like a top in the middle of the ring ready for one of them to pounce. Suddenly, the crowd pops as “Gasoline” by I Prevail rocks the arena and the Anarchy Suicide Squad rush down to the ring! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hang tight Messiah, help is on the way!!!
[ Luther, Osiris and Seth dive into the ring and it turns into a full-on four on four brawl!!! It goes on for a few minutes before security and referee’s flood the ring trying to break them apart. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, why we try and restore some order out here, let’s go to the back where our very own Maxwell Shaw is standing by with Chandler Hopkins.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Chandler Hopkins alongside Maxwell Shaw. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Chandler, let’s go back to the night of December 13th, 2021. That night will always be remembered for not you losing to Mitch Fierce, but as the night that Mitch Fierce chose to beat you instead of saving Aoife from Jake Owens. How does that make you feel?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Honestly, at the time I think he made a shitty decision. Aoife deserved better than that. But I know what inside that man and he’s driven to be the best no matter what. He was put in a position that no matter what direction he chose to go in, he would have been criticized for it.
Maxwell Shaw – I am sure that you replayed that match a dozen times over in your head. In some people’s minds, you nearly wrestled the perfect match against him having him on the ropes numerous times. Looking back, what would you change about that match?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I think the biggest mistake I made was when I attacked him from behind. The guy was all amped up from what Tran and Owens did to Aoife and before I knew it, it was over in a blink of an eye.
Maxwell Shaw – How do you take what you learned in that match and make the necessary adjustments when you face him tonight?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Adjustments? Have you seen his record lately? The guy’s Tank 2.0 for Christ sakes. I think I just need to wrestle a smart match and let him come to me. I have to find a way to ground him and keep him off his base where his power is. If I get caught again like I did then, then it’s going to end the same exact way. I’ve trained too damn hard to let that happen. Mitch, you might be bigger and stronger than me, but I got more heart than you’ll ever have. You’re gonna have to damn well kill me tonight to move on in this tournament because I am prepared to do the same to you!!!
Maxwell Shaw – Chandler, best of luck tonight. Guys, back to you.
[ The show swings back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hopkins is a brave young man, but he’s got some shit luck drawing Mitch Fierce in the first round of the tournament. He better have done his homework because Mitch is an alpha predator that feeds on guys like Hopkins.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I know one thing; you couldn’t pay me enough to climb into that ring with him after what I saw him do to Jake Owens inside that Hell in Cell. There’s two sides to Mitch. The side that Aoife can control, and then there’s the animalistic side that just wants to destroy everything.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our second first round Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up as Mitch Fierce takes on Chandler Hopkins. Once again, here’s Harvey Weinstein with the introductions!!!
In a First Round Emperors Crown Tournament Match
Mitch Fierce vs Chandler Hopkins
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 Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up!! Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Aoife Valkyrie, he weighs 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 the backstage area with Aoife by his side as pyro shoots off behind them. They then makes their way to the ring paying, no attention to the fans as he climbs the ring steps entering the ring and shakes the ropes angrily. Aoife stays on the floor as instructed by the referee holding her hands in their air telling him she won’t get involved. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Mitch comes into this match with a perfect five and oh singles record and is the current number one contender to the World Heavyweight title.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody is favored more to win this tournament than Mitch Fierce is. Don’t get me wrong, there are some pretty damn good wrestlers in this tournament with the likes of Travis Blake and Alexander Stone to name just a couple. But nobody has yet to find a way to stop Mitch and I have a hard time believing that it’ll happen tonight.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 185 lbs.; he is “The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins!!!
[ The Texas Cowboy struts out on stage as “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena. The crowd cheers him as he walks down to the ringside area. He slowly climbs the ring steps and climbs into the ring waving his cowboy hat to the fans. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Chandler Hopkins is putting on a brave face tonight as he stands just feet away from the man that beat him two months ago. Hopkins walks into tonight’s match with a sixteen and thirteen record and is ranked third in the US title rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hopkins is one of the Empire’s work horses as this will mark his thirtieth singles match. Not to make light of him being here tonight, but he drew the lucky straw when both Go-D and Massive Mike withdrew from the tournament for personal reasons landing the number eight seed in the tournament.
[ The bell sounds as Hopkins and Mitch begin to circle one another before finally locking up in the middle of the ring and then tussling back-and-forth for the early advantage! It takes several moments before Mitch is able to force Hopkins back across the ring and into the corner forcing the referee to step in and issue his five count in search of a clean break ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Mitch does just that as he smiles and backs off with hands raised. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It seems that early on Mitch is giving Hopkins the respect that he deserves. Mitch wants this to be a clean fight between them. That’s what the meaning of this tournament is all about. The best of the best going at it to earn a shot at the World Champion.
[ Hopkins quickly grabs Mitch and slams him in the corner, firing off a number of European uppercuts! Hopkins then grabs Mitch by the arm and whips him towards the opposite corner but Mitch is too strong and reverses it, sending Hopkins into the turnbuckles so hard that he then staggers forwards right into a back body drop! Hopkins staggers back up and right into a series of stiff rights to the jaw, and then Mitch whips him off into the ropes and then drives him into the mat with a leaping shoulder tackle!! Mitch goes for the early cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...and Hopkins someway finds a way to kick out!!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hopkins was doing so well, but the sheer strength of Mitch Fierce was just too much for him and from that point on he’s been tossed around like a rag doll.
[ Mitch mounts Hopkins and starts firing off a series of stiff rights to his head before Hopkins counters and rolls Mitch over into a pin attempt of his own ...1 ...2 ...and Mitch powers out with authority!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Excellent counter by Hopkins who was just seconds away from his face being turned into hamburger as Mitch reigned down those massive fists.
[ Both men get right back up to their feet, with Mitch swinging for a clothesline but Hopkins ducks and hits the ropes and comes hurtling back with a flying knee strike that takes Mitch by surprise, sending him sprawling through the ropes and out into ringside floor! Aoife rushes overt to see to Mitch as Hopkins hits the opposite ropes to build up momentum and then charge across the ring in search of a suicide dive but Mitch cuts him off with a massive forearm to the throat as soon as Hopkins’ head comes through the ropes, leaving him dangling there over the middle rope! Mitch quickly climbs up onto the apron and goes for a sunset flip but Hopkins refuses to be taken over as he holds onto the ropes for dear life. Hopkins then drops down on top of Mitch as he tries to apply a Triangle choke!! Mitch is too close to the ropes and he manages to get a hand on them before the hold can really be cinched in, forcing the referee to get Hopkins to break off!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hopkins had Mitch right in his crosshairs but he was too close to the ropes and got a hand on them. That Triangle Choke could have ended it!!!
[ Both Mitch and Hopkins get to their feet and begin circling each other once again, locking up a second time and this time, Hopkins is able to pull Mitch into a side headlock, taking him over onto the canvas and then really wrenching it in! However, it only takes a few moments for Mitch to wrap his legs around Hopkins’ head looking to force the break but Hopkins turns Mitch onto his back and before doing a hand stand while still locked in the head scissors before kipping back out of the hold and driving a knee strike into Mitch! Hopkins follows that up with an attempted forearm strike, but Mitch ducks the shot and then waits for Hopkins to turn back around, catching him with an inverted atomic drop followed by a clothesline off the ropes to drive him to the mat! Mitch then drags Hopkins up and forces him against the ropes, firing off more stiff rights to the jaw and then going for an Irish whip, but Hopkins somehow reverses it and lowers his head for a back body drop, only to have Mitch drive a knee into his head that sends Chandler reeling! Hopkins heads to the corner to try and recover, only to have Mitch then charge in and land a big-time clothesline to crush him against the turnbuckles!!! Mitch drags Hopkins out of the corner and then dumps him on the top turnbuckle! Mitch hooks Hopkins by the head and then dives off and sends Hopkins crashing down with a bulldog off the top rope leaving Hopkins in a heap as Mitch turns him over and makes the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Hopkins only has enough strength to drop his foot across the bottom rope to save himself!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hopkins is giving Mitch all he’s got, but it’s not enough right now as Mitch is just too powerful for him.
[ Mitch grabs Hopkins and drags him back up to his feet as he sets up for the Fierce Bomb (a spinebuster set-up into a fierce Sit-out Powerbomb), but Hopkins is able to flip himself right up and over Mitch, landing behind Mitch and then firing off a series of forearms as he spins around that rock Mitch, allowing Hopkins to go for the Wrangler (Buckshot Lariat), but Mitch cuts him off in mid-swing with a boot to the gut, doubling Hopkins over and Mitch then hits the ropes and comes flying back in search of a clothesline but Hopkins amazingly catches him and counters with a Spanish Fly into a pin attempt as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Mitch kicks out and sits up stunned by that assault!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have no clue where Hopkins pulled that move out of, but he needs to stay on Mitch because he’s got the big man stunned right now.
[ Hopkins grabs Mitch by the head and starts to drag him back up, but Mitch manages to squirm free firing off a couple of elbow strikes to the back of Chandler’s head and then stagger towards the corner! Hopkins shakes off the cobwebs and charges at Mitch going for another Wrangler (Buckshot Lariat), but Mitch is able to catch Hopkins and drive shim into the mat with an F-5!!! Mitch can feel the end is near as he drags Hopkins to his feet and hits the Fierce Bomb (a spinebuster set-up into a fierce Sit-out Powerbomb)!!! Both men collapse to the mat as Mitch slowly crawls over on top of Hopkins and makes the cover ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Mitch Fierce!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a showing by both men tonight. They each brought their “A” game and I don’t think Hopkins could have done any better in his second attempt to defeat Mitch Fierce.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody stays undefeated forever and at some point, Mitch Fierce is going to suffer his first loss. That, unfortunately for Hopkins; is not tonight as Mitch now moves on to the second round of the tournament where he will either face Conner Edge, Alexander Stone or Steve Scott; whomever is the lowest seed after next week’s matches.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are closing in on tonight’s main event; but first our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with tonight’s challenger Prophet. Cindy, it’s all yours.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing next to Prophet who has a very well dressed Salena next to him. ]
Cindy Meyers – Clayton, I may call you that right?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Clayton is fine. Or any of my many other monikers is fine also.
Cindy Meyers – Clayton, last week at the Blackout pay per view; you kidnapped Salena...
[ Prophet raises his hand sin the air and smiles. ]
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Whoa, hold up missy; I never kidnapped anyone. I simply enlisted the aid of this fine young woman to assist me in getting what I desired.
Cindy Meyers – You took her. That’s kidnapping.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You got this all discombobulated and I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to make me out to be some sort of bad guy in all this. I will have you know that I gave this woman three square meals a day, including snacks before bed. She showered twice a day and dressed her in very expensive clothing.
Cindy Meyers – I hear what you’re saying, but it’s still kidnapping.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – If I was a kidnapper would I do this?
[ Prophet smiles at Salena. ]
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You are free to go wherever your heart desires my dear.
[ Salena looks at Prophet, then at Cindy, and finally back at Prophet before she takes off in terror screaming at the top of her lungs thankful to get away from him. Prophet smiles as he watches her run away. ]
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Just look how happy she is. Is that a face of a woman that has been kidnapped? I think not.
Cindy Meyers – Prophet, Clayton; what exactly is going on with you. You were arrested for kicking a dog back in Boston.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Allegedly.
Cindy Meyers – There are witnesses.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – It’s a he said, she said type of case. All circumstantial.
Cindy Meyers – There’s video.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – It’s dubbed.
Cindy Meyers – Dubbed? Really?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You ever hear of body doubles.
Cindy Meyers – Seriously?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – As a heart attack.
Cindy Meyers – So why Conner? Why the TV title?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Well, he’s big. And he’s dumb. And he’s a cowboy.
Cindy Meyers – That’s why you challenged him to an Extreme Rules match? Because he’s a cowboy? What kind of games are you playing?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – I’m a huge D&D fan. Love me some Orcs and Goblins and shit like that.
[ Cindy rubs her head. ]
Cindy Meyers – Is there anything you want to add to this interview before I end it?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Yes, I do. I just want to tell Conner that I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I am about to do to you tonight. I’m sorry that I have to end your TV title reign. I’m sorry that I have to blemish your near perfect record with another loss. I’m sorry Conner that I am going to take the TV title from you. “The Age of the Messiah” begins tonight!!!
Cindy Meyers – Age of the Messiah? I can’t handle this anymore. Guys, back to you.
[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Someone owes me an explanation as to why we continue to interview this guy. He’s so bat-shit crazy it just blows my mind as to why we give him any TV time at all.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I would have to guess it’s because he’s a former World Champion and the front office believes that it’s just head games he’s playing at. He can’t be that crazy, right?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t know. We’ve seen crazy over the years and this guy ranks right up there at the top. Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as Conner Edge puts his TV title on the line against Prophet in an Extreme Rules match!!! Let’s head back to the ring one last time and get this title match underway.
For the TV title in an Extreme Rules Match
Conner Edge © vs Prophet
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following Extreme Rules match is set for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit and it is for the World Wrestling Empire’s Television Championship!!! Making his way to the ring, he weighs 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 TV title around his waist. He lifts his fist in the air before making his way down to the ring and climbs in. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The TV champion has decided to walk down to the ring first tonight, and he’s doing it alone as his mentor Go-D is still recovering from that brutal war that he had just seven nights ago at Blackout. He’s also without his girlfriend slash lover slash whatever she is in Salena who we just saw escaped from the clutches of Prophet.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet wouldn’t say escaped. In his mind he never really held her captive. She was, well; a guest I suppose. Either way, it all comes down to this tonight as they collide in this Extreme Rules match for Conner’s TV title.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 227 lbs., he is “The Chosen One”!!! “The Modern-Day Messiah”!!! This... is… Prophet!!!
[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where Prophet stand with his arms stretched out soaking in what he thinks is adulation. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here comes the former World Heavyweight Champion Prophet. He held that title for one hundred and twenty-five days. An incredible title run that lasted the entire summer.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet was an incredible champion, but like all great champions; they rise and they fall. Prophet’s meteoric rise and reign as champion lasted four months, but what is even more stunning is his catastrophic fall from grace. Tonight, Prophet not only looks to get his career back on track; but he looks to do it by taking the TV title from Conner Edge.
[ Prophet heads down the ramp and eyes up the ladder that is set-up at the bottom of the ramp. Conner wastes no time as he comes charging across the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive! Prophet crashes back into the ladder and they both go down. Conner is pissed as he grabs a Singapore cane and swings it at Prophet’s head, but Prophet ducks the shot and then tackles Conner to the ground, firing off some punches as the crowd goes wild and the referee wastes no time in calling for the bell!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Conner Edge wasted no time tonight as he went right at Prophet and tried to take him out even before this match officially started. This is the type of match that we don’t normally see here in the Empire.
[ Prophet continues to pummel Conner for several moments, before finally getting up off Conner and throwing out his arms and closing his eyes like he’s channeling a greater power! Prophet then turns his attention back towards Conner, who tries crawling away, but Prophet grabs Conner by the hair and stops him in his tracks, but Conner grabs a handful of Prophets trunks and launches Prophet into the steel ring steps!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner needed that move right there to slow the former World Champion down. Maybe he should consider taking this fight into the ring.
[ Prophet is favoring his shoulder as Conner scrambles back to his feet and goes to town on Prophet, kicking repeatedly at the same shoulder that Prophet is favoring! Conner then grabs Prophet by the bad arm and lifts it high into the air, only to slam it down onto the steel ring steps!!! Conner raises Prophet’s arm and he slams it down a second time!!! Prophet is clearly in a lot of pain as Conner pushes past the referee to grab a trash can and then heads back towards Prophet, raising it high above his head but before he can bring it down on Prophet’s skull though, Prophet desperately cuts Conner off with a kick to the gut! Prophet pulls himself up with one arm, firing off some punches with his good arm before grabbing Conner and trying for an Irish whip only for Conner to reverse and pull Prophet back towards him, quickly driving him down onto the unforgiving cement floor with the Iron Claw Slam!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Did you just see that? Conner Edge just drove Prophet straight to Hell with his Iron Claw Slam but the TV Champion isn’t done yet as he searches for more plunder around the ringside area.
[ Conner grabs the trash can as Prophet instinctively tries to drag himself off the floor but Conner smashes it down over Prophet’s head!! Conner tosses the trash can inside the ring as he looks out across the arena with a sadistic expression on his face, before dragging Prophet back up and rolling him into the ring under the bottom rope! Conner then slides in after him, landing some more stomps for good measure before now picking up a steel chain! Conner proceeds to wrap it around Prophet’s throat, sitting on his back with a camel clutch-type move while choking Prophet with the chain and the referee gets right in there to ask Prophet if he wants to give it up!! Prophet can barely breath, let alone answer the question and finally Conner releases the hold screaming... ]
The WWE TV Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge – Not yet!!! I’m going to make you pay!!! You’re going to suffer for what you did to Salena!!!
[ Conner goes over and grabs the trash can again, heading to the corner where he now wedges it in-between the middle and top rope! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner’s got some evil intentions right now as he just wedged that trash can between the ropes and looks back at Prophet like he wants to kill him.
[ Conner has that twisted grin on his face as he drags Prophet up into the corner firing off a number of punches to the head before going for an Irish whip into the trash can, but Prophet just puts on the brakes before crashing into it! Conner is infuriated as Prophet turns around just in time to see Conner charge towards him only for Prophet to leapfrog over Conner sending him crashing into the trash can himself!! Conner staggers out from the corner and right into a discus clothesline from Prophet, putting him down hard!! Prophet fights back to a vertical base, as Conner tries to do the same. Prophet grabs a trash can lid, using his good arm to repeatedly smash Conner across the top of the head with it, finally causing Conner to tumble backwards through the ropes and crash down to the cement floor!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s bad enough that this is an extreme rules match, but to add insult to injury the Empire officials have decided to remove the protective padding around the ring exposing the cement floor underneath.
[ Conner attempts to shake off the cobwebs as he drags himself back up to his feet. Prophet hits the ropes and launches up and over the top rope with a somersault plancha that wipes Conner out!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What an insane move by Prophet that just wiped the TV Champion out!!! Prophet is laying it all on the line tonight to win championship gold!!!
[ Prophet struggles to get back to his feet and as he turns his attention back towards Conner he grabs the Singapore cane, watching and waiting as Conner gets back up and he repeatedly starts slamming the cane onto Conner’s back! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – My God Prophet is laying the wood down onto Conner’s back and you can already see the red welts starting to form and the slight trace of blood starting to trickle down the champions back.
[ Conner cries out in agony and Prophet places the Singapore cane in front of Conner’s throat and hook Conner from behind hitting a cane-assisted White Russian leg sweep into the steel guardrail!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner is one tough son of a bitch, but you have to wonder how many more of these brutal matches he can withstand before he starts to break down. No man can withstand this type of punishment.
[ Prophet tosses the cane aside and tries shaking off the pain in his arm before dragging Conner up to his feet and then rolling him back inside the ring. Prophet picks up another trash can lid as he climbs onto the apron and watches and waits for Conner to get back to his feet! Prophet leaps up to the top rope, looking to springboard towards Conner going for a trash can lid shot to the head only for Conner to unload a fire extinguisher right in Prophet’s face as he flies through the air!! Prophet crashes into the canvas blinded by the fire extinguisher as he struggles back up to his feet and turns right into a extinguisher shot to the head that knocks Prophet down and out!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a shot by Conner Edge right to the head of the former World Champion that has his out cold right now. It doesn’t seem like Conner has the strength to make a pin though.
[ The crowd erupts with boos as Conner collapses against the ropes and rests there for several moments before the sight of Prophet laying on the canvas fires him up. He goes over and grabs the steel chair that had been left in the ring, snapping it shut before proceeding to press the rim of the chair down into Prophet’s throat, choking him once again! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t think that this is about winning or losing this match right now. I really believe that this is about inflicting as much punishment as he possibly can on Prophet.
[ Conner raises the steel chair high above his head, about to nail Prophet with it; only for Conner to look to the side and notice the ladder set up at ringside! Conner lowers the chair and drops it to the mat, before exiting the ring and grabbing the ladder!! Conner slides the ladder in under the bottom rope and he slips inside after it, pulling it up and holding the ladder across his chest as Prophet staggers back to his feet still trying to get his shit together! In that instant, Conner explodes across the ring and clotheslines Prophet right back down again with the ladder!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Conner Edge is meticulously picking the challenger apart right now piece by piece. It appears the champion is done playing games with Prophet.
[ Conner props the ladder up in the corner before going back to Prophet and hitting some more stomps! He then grabs Prophet by the feet and drags him towards the ladder in the corner. Conner stands there with his back to it before falling backwards and catapulting Prophet towards the ladder but Prophet somehow manages to catch himself on the ladder like Spider-Man rather than crash into it. He hangs there for several moments as Conner gets back up and tries charging at him only for Prophet to dive over the top of him and roll back to his feet, as Conner crashes hard into the ladder!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If Conner could have hit that move on Prophet it would have been all over for the former champion, but somehow Prophet was able to land on the ladder and then leap off causing Conner to crash into it instead!!! What an insane turn of events!!!
[ Conner turns around in a daze just in time to see Prophet charge back across the ring, hitting him with a cross body block-like that crushes Conner against the steel ladder but sends Prophet tumbling over the top rope and landing on the apron! Prophet struggles up in the corner as Conner collapses in a heap in front of the ladder. Prophet dives off the corner and brings the ladder down with him smashing it down onto Conner’s head!! The crowd is going wild as Prophet rests for several moments, before finally he’s able to shove the ladder off of Conner and then roll the TV champion onto his back and going for the cover ...1 ...2 ...and Conner forcefully powers out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Believe it not folks, that is the very first pin-fall of the match and Conner is still able to power out even after taking that ladder shot to the head!!!
[ Prophet looks stunned that Conner kicked out only to see a wooden table propped up in the corner. Prophet staggers over towards it and proceeds to take the wooden table down and set it up! Prophet then heads back towards Conner and drags him back to his feet, leading him towards that corner. Prophet climbs up onto the top rope and tries to drag Conner up with him! Conner is standing on the middle rope as Prophet tucks Conner's head between his legs going for a top rope powerbomb, but before he can hit the move; Conner drops down and then drives a low blow uppercut between Prophet’s legs!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Again, Conner just dodged a huge bullet as Prophet was going for that top rope powerbomb onto the wooden table. We were just second’s away from possibly crowning a new TV champion!!!
[ Prophet is in agony as Conner shoves the wooden table aside before climbing up after Prophet and then firing off shots to the head before hooking him up and then powering Prophet into the air with a vicious superplex that leaves both men momentarily down and out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The crowd is going nuts right now as both men are down and out on the mat after such a vicious move that helped neither man!!!
[ Conner struggles back to a vertical base before grabbing the wooden table and wedging it in the corner! Conner brushes his hair out of his face as he heads to the opposite corner of the ring. Prophet appears to be totally oblivious as he gets to his feet, stumbling around just as Conner explodes at him. At the last possible second, Prophet leaps into the air and cuts Conner off with a picture-perfect dropkick from out of nowhere!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Where is Prophet pulling these moves out from right now? I’m having flashbacks of his World title run this past summer.
[ Prophet punches the canvas to try firing himself up, climbing back to his feet as he watches and waits for Conner to do the same. Prophet rushes past Conner and leaps on the middle rope and then back flips up and over, landing behind Conner and hooking him by the head, driving him into the canvas with the End of Days (Scorpion Death Drop)!!! Prophet goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Conner just manages to kick out before the count of three!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What an amazing version of his finisher he just hit Conner with and again the TV champion has found the strength to kick out. What is it going to take to keep this monster down?!
[ Prophet looks down at Conner in shock before pulling him back up and into a standing head scissors, but this time Conner lifts Prophet up and over with a back body drop!!! Both men struggle back to their feet as Conner charges and goes for a spear, but Prophet leap frogs over him and leaps backwards the second Conner turns back around blasting Conner in the head with the Pelé Kick!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a kick right to the rock-hard head of Conner who’s down and out looking up at the lights!!!
[ Prophet crawls towards the corner and begins to climb to the top rope!!! Prophet dives off the corner going for a Swanton, but right at the last second Conner throws a steel chair at him and he crashes to the mat on-top of the chair!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – My God the impact of that chair colliding with Prophet in mid air was sickening as it echoed across the arena.
[ Prophet arches his back in sheer agony, writhing around the ring in pain as Conner staggers back up and quickly drags Prophet back up with him He hooks him by the head and lifts him into the air, spiking Prophet head-first onto the steel chair!!! Blood pours from Prophet’s head as Conner goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Prophet kicks out just beating the count!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet’s face is a mask of red right now as blood pours from that gash on the top of his head!!!
[ Conner grabs the steel chair and slides it beneath Prophet’s head and looks around the ring and then grabs another steel chair. Conner stands up right next to Prophet, raising the steel chair high above his head going for a Con-Chair-To, but somehow Prophet rolls himself out of the way at the last second and the two chairs collide on impact!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Can you just imagine the damage that Conner would have done if he would have connected with that chair shot? If you thought he was mentally unstable right now, just imagine what kind of brain damage he would have suffered if that would have connected.
[ The force of the impact forces Conner to drop the chair as the vibration hurts his hands. Prophet grabs the steel chain as he drags himself upright, folding the chain in half as Conner turns his attention back towards Prophet. Conner charges at him only for Prophet to swing the steel chain and catch Conner directly in the gut doubling him over!! Prophet then begins whipping the steel chain down across Conner’s back, driving him down to the canvas!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Look at Conner’s back. Between those cane shots and that chain lacing his back, it looks like a road map across the United States!!!
[ Prophet stops and rests against the ropes, his arm still clearly bothering him before going for the ladder again, dragging it up and then resting it horizontally across the middle rope in the corner! Prophet then turns back towards Conner, who clutches his back in agony, but he unknowingly walks right into a barrage of stiff rights as Prophet backs him into the corner before Irish whipping him into the ladder-laden corner and then charging after him! Prophet grabs Conner and places him on the top turnbuckle!! Prophet attempts to climb up with him, but Conner responds with some kicks to the face that sends Prophet staggering away! Conner attempts to stand on the top rope, but Prophet scoops up one of the steel chairs and launches it into Conner’s face sending him collapsing onto the top rope and crotching himself!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Ring the bell, Conner won’t be using those for a few days!!! Talk about a desperation move by Prophet to slay the beast. I don’t think that’s what Prophet had in mind, but he will take it.
[ Prophet sets his sights on the wooden table still propped in the corner. He pulls it free and sets it up to where Conner is now straddled across the top rope! Prophet is standing on the ladder to balance before carefully lifting Conner off the top rope and slamming him head-first into the ladder!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Now it’s Conner’s face that is covered with a dark red mask from that impact. The whites of his eyes rolling back in his head as he dangles on that ladder ever precariously!!!
[ Prophet smiles as he wipes Conner’s head with his hand and licks the fresh blood from it like he actually enjoys the taste of it. Prophet sets Conner up and he dives off the ladder as both men crash through the waiting table below with an End of Days (Scorpion Death Drop) that shatters the table into hundreds of pieces!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I cannot believe what we just witnessed. Prophet just sacrificed everything to hit his finisher from the top of that ladder and put the champion through that table!!!
The sold-out crowd - “HOLY SHIT!!!” “HOLY SHIT!!!” “HOLY SHIT!!!”
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My sentiments exactly folks. There are no words to explain what we just saw.
[ The referee climbs through the wreckage to check on both men and neither are moving, both lay just as broken as the table they crashed through. The referee doesn’t waste any time as he throws up the “X” symbol and the ringside doctor rolls into the ring to tend to the wounded men. ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – This match has been deemed a draw!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This match was brutal beyond belief and no matter if you like either man or not, we hope that they will both be alright.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Both men put their bodies and souls on the line tonight for the TV title, but what is most concerning is that right here next week Conner Edge has to come back and face Alexander Stone in a first round Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up. Stone has to be foaming at the mouth right now after watching this match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, next week is going to be an amazing show. Please come back and join us as we travel to Thailand!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a show so far. Two tournament matches and a World Tag Team title match to top it all off. It just gets better and better every week.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Good night, everyone!!!
Epilogue...
[ After the credits roll, we watch as the World Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge climb into a waiting limo and speeds off. From the shadows, “Superfan” Benny Dutton can be seen stepping into the light. He pulls out his cell phone and scrolls through his contacts quickly finding the name he is looking for. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Patch, it’s me. Yeah, yeah, I know. Listen, I don’t have time to explain; I need you to book me a flight to Thailand. Yeah, Thailand. I know money is tight. If you have to cash in some of my coins I’ve been holding on to. Don’t worry about what my mom would think. My grandpa left them to me. Thanks buddy.
[ Benny hangs his phone up and watches as the Empire buses pull away from the arena. ]
Live Monday night February 14th, 2022 from the sold-out Phu Tho Indoor Sport Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 8:00pm EST
An hour or so before the show…
[ The scene opens up backstage as the World Six Man Tag Team Champions Mitch Fierce, Alexander Stone, and Maverick along with Aoife Valkyrie on Mitch’s arm have arrived at the arena. Mitch has his World Six Man Tag title slung over his shoulder as the fans can be heard cheering for Stone, Maverick and Aoife as boos are also heard for Mitch Fierce who just smirks. Maxwell Shaw spots the Three Best Friends and Aoife as he approaches them with a camera in tow. Mitch, Stone, Aoife and Maverick stop seeing Maxwell approach them. Maxwell catches up to them. ]
Maxwell Shaw - Thanks for your time guys and Aoife. Let’s just get right down to business. Fierce, Stone, Maverick you guys beat the Cartel at Blackout to win the World Six Man Tag Team Titles which you Stone, and Maverick had to vacate because of Godzilla’s refusal to defend the titles. That’s when you both went to Mitch and asked him for help to fight the Cartel. Mitch, this is your first championship here in the Empire how does it feel to be a champion again after four years of not being in the ring then only being in the Empire for three or four months winning your first title in a short amount of time?
[ Mitch looks at Maxwell and smirks. ]
Mitch Fierce - You want to know how it feels Max? It feels damn good to have a championship around my waist. It’s my first but not my last championship here in the Empire. It was a team effort to win the Six Man Tag Team Championships. We told the Cartel we would walk out of Blackout the Six Man Tag Team Champions and we did. There was never no doubt that we wouldn’t. The Cartel was beaten by the better team and this title proves we were the better team. We kicked the Cartels ass.
Maxwell Shaw - Mitch, at Blackout after The Three Best Friends won the World Six Man Tag Team titles and you saw Alexander Stone helping Aoife up from getting beaten down by Holidead after Alexander chased her off you went off on Stone thinking that he was trying to take Aoife away from you. I want to know as I’m sure that the fans want to know are things good between you and Stone?
Mitch Fierce - Max what happened at Blackout with me going off on Stone thinking that he was trying to take Aoife away from me I took it the wrong way. The green eyed monster reared its ugly head. We are cool
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone - I don’t take other guys girls. We don’t let the ladies of the Empire divide us. Me and Maverick look at Aoife as a sister figure.
[ Maverick gives a thumbs up. ]
Maxwell Shaw - Aoife tonight you face Holidead in her return match after recovering from her knee injury. Any thoughts on the match
Aoife Valkyrie - I have a thought about the match Max. I’m going to kick Holidead’s ass. I got first shot ya and I got a few tricks up my sleeve. Holidead thinks this match is going to be a win for her? She better think twice. Holidead is going to wish she hadn’t come back when I'm finished with her. I will put her back on the shelf where she belongs
Maxwell Shaw - Aoife you seem to have a different attitude. A meaner attitude.
[ Mitch stops Maxwell. ]
Mitch Fierce - That’s what it takes to be a winner Max. That’s what it takes to be a champion in this business. You can’t be nice you'll get your ass handed to you every time you step into the ring. Aoife will win tonight, and she will win herself a championship. She has what it takes to be Women’s World Champion. The new kick ass meaner attitude hell, I like it.
Maxwell Shaw - You have any thoughts about your first round Emperors Crown tournament match against Chandler Hopkins.
[ Mitch looks dead into the camera. ]
Mitch Fierce - Hopkins, I don’t see how you even got into this tournament. I figure you only got in because of Massive Mike and Go-D leaving. You won your match at Blackout to qualify. You got in by the skin of your teeth Hopkins. You’re a nobody. You don’t even deserve to be in this tournament but, you are and you’re facing me again. I kicked your ass once and made that choice which caused the woman I love and care about Aoife to get her nose shattered by Jake Owens. I know what you’re thinking Hopkins that is somehow going to possibly affect me in this match remembering that incident. That won’t be the case tonight. I almost gave up the number one spot to Felix Escobar because I thought I was protecting Aoife and if it hadn’t been for her slapping some damn sense into me you'd be facing Felix or maybe somebody else but you got me and your luck runs out tonight in this tournament when I kick your ass again and advance and you get put out of the tournament. You are the first obstacle in my way to a World Heavyweight Title shot and sorry about your damn luck Hopkins your run ends tonight before it begins when I put you down! Its over for you tonight Hopkins. You’re a nobody that doesn’t even deserve to be in the ring with me. I’m undefeated. I’m ranked number one and I’m staying that way. Get ready Hopkins. I’m coming for you!. You’re going to get your ass handed to you again tonight loser
[ Mitch looks at Maxwell then walks away with Aoife followed by Stone and Maverick. ]
Now…
[ 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 and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening, folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and Mexican Sensation… Caristico!!! Boy, what a pay per view we had this past Sunday night as the World Wrestling Empire proudly presented Blackout.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s a night that I certainly will never forget. Six incredible matches where we crowned brand-new World Tag Team Champions. New World Six-man Tag Team Champions and a brand-new World Cruiserweight Champion!!! But it was the World Heavyweight Championship match that we witnessed possibly the bloodiest match in the long and story book history of the Empire where the Champion Tank Edge retained his World title by making the Challenger Go-D submit after losing so much blood.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Partner, we have so much to cover it’s impossible to do it right now because speaking of the World Heavyweight Champion, here he comes!!!
[ The World Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge comes walking out dressed in a T-Shirt and jeans with the World Heavyweight title belt around his waist with no music or pyro. The crowd cheers from him. He has multiple cuts and scrapes all along his face still and seems shiny with Neosporin. He gets in the ring and takes a microphone. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well, what can I say? At my age, apparently having matches involving glass wrapped fists isn't the greatest idea ever. When you can't even take a nice, relaxing shower without wanting to scream in pain, you can just say it's been a very painful week of recovery. I'd like to take the time right now to thank Dave for a hell of a match. If that was indeed your last go in this ring, differences aside, it was an honor to have that with you.
[ Tank pauses as the crowd offers a respectful cheer for the career of Go-D. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - I'd also like to thank my daughter Bella for being in country and making the blood transfusion that I ended up needing for a speedy process. Also, thanks to whoever decided staples were ok to use on facial wounds for helping the healing process quicker then stitches would. At my age, my healing factor isn't quite up to Wolverine's standards. But now, we must look to the future, and the future happens to be in the Emperors Crown tournament that starts tonight. You got seven young and hungry guys and one crazed old man like me going for a shot at this belt. So, Mr. Champion Tank, what are your thoughts on all the potential?
[ Tank switches to the other side of the ring like he's properly interviewing himself. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well Tank, lets starts start at number eight and Chandler Hopkins. This kid is tough and always feels like he's on the cusp of something big, but I'm not sure if he has the it factor to take it to the next level. I'm not looking past him as these tournaments are made for upsets, and I really hope he gets a star making turn, but I feel the moment might be a little too big for Chandler this year, hopefully he uses this experience to learn and grow.
[ Tank switches back to interviewer. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Ok Tank, what about Steve Scott?
[ Tank goes back to the other side. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well to be honest see previous answer. You know, your seven and eight for a reason usually and your probably not in this tournament if Massive Mike and Go-D are still here. Honestly, I'm very upset Massive Mike isn't in this thing as it'd have been better than if Steve Scott was in his place you know? Not to insult the guy too hard, but well, facts are facts.
[ Tank goes back to the interviewer. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - A little harsh there, Tank, hopefully you have something nicer to say about Psycho Messiah?
[ Tank returns to champ side. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - I do, in fact I do Tank. This is a guy who, let’s be honest, was screwed out of the TV title and since then has been fighting tooth and nail to get recognized as a top star. He strong, fast and an honest threat to anyone he comes across. He's also got a US title shot in his back pocket. Very interested to see what happens between him and “The Backslider” Travis Blake. I'll jump ahead here Tank and let the world know that I haven't seen someone fall so far and so fast as Travis Blake since.... wow I'm really not sure. This guy was on top of the world a couple months ago. Now he's still the three seed but does anyone here think he's really got a chance?
[ The crowd boos to signal they don't think so. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - He tried to play mind games with my family and found out that we just play the game better. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for him to win because I owe him one and he's the only one I haven't gotten my revenge against for all the October incidents. And no, Godzilla wrecking his life and career is not the end of us, it ends when I say it ends. I hope he competes, but if he bombs out, I might go ahead and give him a shot just so he can fully understand how far down the ladder he really is here.
[ Tank switches to the interviewer side as the crowd cheers his ripping of Blake. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Wow, you better be careful Tank, he might insinuate that your gay again. Now, how about your son and essentially your son being in here, would that be weird to face them?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Tank, I never beat my kids when they were kids, but I taught these two everything they know. Conner, you’re a miserable prick and always have been, but I bet anyone who grew up with that shrew of a mom would be. If you can handle Stone on your own, that's great, I'd love to face you. And Godzilla, well we've fought twenty times and I'm 19-1 against you, you may be rocking two belts now and believe me, I'm damn proud of you, but your still not this level. In fact, it's the final two guys that I honestly think are on my level.
[ Tank pauses a minute and goes and gets a bottle of water. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Stone and Fierce. Unlikely allies and maybe the cream of the crop in this federation. Stone, yeah, I owe you and not to play favorites but I hope you win this thing so we can go one more time. I'm not a guy on his way out like last time, don't get me wrong, I gave you 100, but I'm honestly not sure it was my best 100, you know. I would love to test myself against you one more time. And Mitch, now this guy, who can figure out this nut-ball? It's been interesting watching him and Aoife's love story from afar, but I keep waiting for it to turn into some Othello like tragedy where he snaps her neck for talking too nice to a waiter at a restaurant or something. But hey, from one old hot head to another man, get some help before you kill her dude. Far as this tournament, you’re the top seed, hopefully you can rise to it, because it'll be a fun match.
[ Suddenly, Tank notices an American fan in the front row wearing a “Monster” Tank Edge tee-shirt from back in two-thousand and five that were flying off the shelves like hot-cakes. The young man locks eyes with Tank and he waves his country style guitar in the air at him. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I love you Tank!!! I love you man!!! You’re my hero!!!
[ The T-shirt brings a smile to Tank’s face, remembering all the good times he had back then. Tank motions to security at ringside. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Let him in.
[ Security helps the young man over the guardrail and walks him over to the ring steps where he climbs up onto the ring apron with a huge grin on his face. Tank reaches out to shake the young man’s hand, but instead of shaking Tank’s hand he hugs Tank like they were long lost friends. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok buddy, dial it down a bit.
[ The young man then rushes over and mounts the turnbuckle standing on the second rope and raises his guitar in the air much like Jeff Jarrett used to do back in the day. The crowd boos him, not knowing who this guy is and not caring much either. After soaking it in, the young man gets down and walks back over to Tank. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, I don’t normally do this; but that tee-shirt you’re wearing brought back some great memories. Let me ask you a couple of questions, what’s your name and where did you get it?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I’m “Superfan Benny” and I’m your biggest fan!!! But you can just call me Benny. Benny Dutton.
[ Bobby jumps around the ring like an idiot waving his guitar in the air as the fans boo this ass clown. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok, ok, I need you to calm down kid. Bobby, where you from?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Nashville!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Nashville. Great city. And that tee-shirt, where did you get your hands on it?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I was there at “Lost at Sea” when took that pirate ship into the pay per view. It was fucking awesome!!!!
[ Tank shakes his head. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Yeah, not one of my proudest moments. I was going through an identity crisis.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I love you Tank!!! I followed you your entire career. From the Empire to the WWCF to Mexico to Japan to...
[ Tank senses that something is wrong and raises his hand. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok kid, this seems a little strange...
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I’ve got my own website dedicated to you. I’ve got my own podcast where we talk about just you and all your matches. I’ve got a YouTube channel where we rewatch all your matches and critique what you could have done different.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Done different.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Yeah, I have dissected hours and hours of your matches and broke them all down. If you want, I could sit down with you and give you some pointers...
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Pointers?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Yeah. You know, I would make a great manager. No offence to Reverend Odom or nothing, but what has he really done for your career anyway?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – He’s been with me from nearly day one.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – But you could do so much better. Under my leadership...
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Your leadership? Besides watching tapes of my matches, what do you really know about wrestling? I bet that this is the first time you’ve ever been in a wrestling ring.
[ Benny smiles and wages a finger at Tank. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Nope, nope wrong again big buddy. I was on EBAY one night and I found the exact same ring that you won your first world title in.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – My first world title? You’re sure?
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I do my research.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – I bet you do. Listen Bobby.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – It’s Benny.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Ok, whatever kid. Listen, this went sideways pretty fast, and it just goes to prove why I hate doing this; so, let’s just end it right here...
[ The young man reaches out and grabs Tank by the arm... ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Wait, not yet. I’ve come a long way to see you. To be in the same ring with you. In your very presence.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, you’re weirding me out. Now if you like your hand where it is, you’ll get it off of me.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – But you’re not listening to my words!!! I love you Tank!!! Not in some weird gay sort of way, but you’re a wrestling God to me. I have dedicated my entire life to you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Then you better re-evaluate your life.
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Listen, you asked me if this was the first time in a wrestling ring; and it’s not. I have been training for years at a local wrestling school in Nashville.
[ Tank chuckles at him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – That’s good kid. Go home and go to school. Learn a real skill cause wrestling is going to shorten your life.
[ Tank heads toward the ropes and just as he’s about to step through, Benny grabs his arm again. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – No, no, no, don’t go yet. I’ve spent everything I’ve got to get here. Please!!!
[ Tank straightens up and looks at the kid trying his hardest not to pummel him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, I am losing my patience with you right now...
[ Benny swings his guitar around and pulls his pick out of his pocket. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tank, I wrote this song when I was twelve. It’s dedicated for you and what you mean to me.
[ Benny starts strumming away and it sounds like two chickens fucking. The fans hate it as they boo him out of the arena. After about two minutes, Tank walks over to Benny... ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Bobby, Benny; just stop ok. Just stop. This is not going as planned and I think we need to stop this right now.
[ Benny looks sad. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I’ve come all this way just to see you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Well you saw me, now go the fuck home.
[ Tank steps through the ropes and walks back up the ramp as Benny yells at tank. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tank!!! Tank I love you!!! Don’t leave me Tank!!! Tank, don’t walk away!!! I love you man!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, we have met a ton of fans over the years, but “Superfan Benny” is one of a kind. He seems pretty obsessed with Tank and what he’s done in his career, almost to the level of being obsessive in nature.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Listen, I am all for fans having their favorite wrestlers and wearing their tee-shirts; but this kid has taken it to a whole ‘nother level. He actually thinks that he can teach Tank a few things. This is Tank we’re talking about. This kid’s got a few screws loose.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I actually think that if Tank didn’t walk out when he did, he was going to lay that kid out. It was going bad pretty quick and I am just happy it didn’t get to the point of no return. Props to Tank for showing some restraint under some pretty weird circumstances. Folks, while we get ready for our first match, our camera crew is with the Mean Girls. Let’s catch up with them and see what’s going on after what happened at Blackout.
[ The show swings to the back where we see the Mean Girls walk up to the dressing room of the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova. Cassie reaches down and tries to open the door, but it’s locked. ]
Cassie Lee – What the hell? It’s locked.
Jessica McKay – Here, let me try.
[ Jessica reaches out and grabs the doorknob but to her dismay it is still magically locked. ]
Jessica McKay – It’s locked.
[ Cassie rolls her eyes at her... ]
Cassie Lee – Yah think.
[ Cassie reaches around Jessica and pounds on the door. They wait a few seconds, and nobody answers so Cassie pounds on the door again. ]
Cassie Lee – Hey, let us in!!!
[ They can hear the door unlock and the handle turns, and we see Paul Heyman standing there looking ever so serious. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Can I help you?
[ Cassie and Jessica chuckle at that question. ]
Jessica McKay – Help us? You’re acting like you don’t know us. We’re Bullet Club.
[ Heyman scrunches his forehead and squints at them. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Bullet Club? Really? I do believe that the two of you are conniving little bitches...
[ The door swings fully open and we see the three-time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova standing there with her title slung over her shoulder. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – I got this Paul.
[ And Amber eyes them both over like she doesn’t trust them. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – What do you want?
[ Jessica smiles at her... ]
Jessica McKay – What do we want? We wanna come in. This is where we belong.
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Yeah, you see; that’s where we have a slight disagreement. You two screwed us over big time. You chose that freak Godzilla over the Club. You chose to bribe the Guerillas with what? Watches? What the hell were the two of you thinking?
[ Jessica and Cassie look at each other knowing they are in a world of shit. ]
Jessica McKay – I told you she wouldn’t understand.
Cassie Lee – We did that to take all his money. It would have worked if not for that bitch Zelda whatever her name is sticking her fat ass in our business.
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Well, it didn’t work and now you’re done.
[ Jessica and Cassie looked stunned. ]
Cassie Lee – Done? You mean done, done? Like we’re out of the Club?
[ Jessica laughs like it’s some sick joke. ]
Jessica McKay – You’re kidding right? This is a joke, right?
[ They can see the seriousness in Amber’s face. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – The only joke is the thought that I could make the two of you into something that you’re not. Paul, take the trash out.
[ Amber walks back into her dressing room leaving Heyman standing there with a shit eating grin on his face. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Ladies, it’s been a pleasure doing business with you; but I suggest you take your business back to the general locker-room.
[ Cassie and Jessica looked stunned. ]
Cassie Lee – General locker-room?
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Yes, you’ll find it right next to catering.
[ Heyman smiles ear to ear. ]
The Advocate Paul Heyman – Good night, good luck, bye-bye.
[ Heyman slams the door in their faces. ]
Cassie Lee – General locker-room? I told you this was going to end badly!!!
Jessica McKay – I’ll fix this!!! Let’s just go. I wanna get a locker close to the lady’s room.
[ Cassie rolls her eyes as she follows Jessica. The scene cuts to the dressing room of Mitch Fierce who along with Aoife Valkyrie who is in the dressing room with him both ready for their matches are talking. ]
Mitch Fierce - Kick that bitches Holidead’s ass. Put her back on the shelf and win tonight.
Aoife Valkyrie - I got this ya. The bitch can’t beat me.
Mitch Fierce - Me, Maverick and Stone we got your back in case the Cartel tries anything since Holidead is one of them. You got this.
[ Mitch hugs Aoife and gives her a kiss. ]
Mitch Fierce - Chandler Hopkins that loser I end his chances of going past the first round tonight. I’m in this to win. Hopkins is in my way. I’m putting him down tonight. Its over for him in this tournament tonight. Hopkins is going to be looking up at the lights after a Fierce Bomb!
[ Mitch and Aoife leave the dressing room and meet up with Stone and Maverick. The show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, the Mean Girls were just fired from the Bullet Club!!! I had a feeling that things were not going to end well for them after the whole Godzilla thing blew up in their faces.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – They took a calculated risk and it never paid off and now they find themselves on the outside looking in. They need to consider themselves lucky that there wasn’t a beat down too. To me, they got off pretty easy.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, what a line-up for have in store tonight. Nine huge matches and a main event that is pay per view quality as Conner Edge defends his TV title against Prophet in a match that came about when Prophet kidnapped Salena at Blackout.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet is one sneaky fucker and when he went snooping through Legacy’s locker-room, he found his old Prophetic Book. That triggered something in his demented brain and here we are. An Extreme Rules match for the TV title. I have to wonder what kind of condition Conner is going to be in tonight. Conner was in a brutal match at Blackout against Massive Mike who left his mark on Conner. It was sad to see Massive Mike part ways with the Empire. I could see that young man holding gold in the very near future.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – With his departure it opened the door for two other men to be added to the Emperor’s Crown Tournament which kicks off tonight as Mitch Fierce comes in as the number one seed taking on Chandler Hopkins and in the other opening round match, Travis Blake comes off his loss to Godzilla at Blackout and he takes on the red-hot Psycho Messiah who teamed with Hopkins at Blackout to defeat the Forgotten in tag team action.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Both are huge opening round matches. Diving into each of them, Hopkins and Mitch faced off about a month ago with Mitch defeating Hopkins. I think we will see the same result tonight. As far as Travis versus Messiah goes, Travis’ entire world is falling apart right now as we saw back at Blackout both the Guerillas and the Mean Girls turned their backs on him that opened the door for Godzilla to retain his US title and become the new World Cruiserweight Champion. To say the Bullet Club is in disarray is a massive understatement.
[ The crowd boos as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake walks out on stage mysteriously alone and storms down to the ring!!! Travis snatches the mic away from Harvey Weinstein and walks up the ring steps and climbs through the ropes. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Bullet Club has been a train wreck and I am sure he’s out here to address that issue.
[ Travis taps the top of the mic... thud, thud, thud and then brings it up toward his mouth. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake - “The Backslider”? Really Tank? After all these years honing your skills the best you can fucking call me is “The Backslider”? Well, I got two words for you; old man...
[ Travis flips off the camera. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Fuck you!!!
[ The crowd boos Travis. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – And fuck all of you, you’re nothen but mindless puppets too!!! Tank talks and you all squat like a bunch of fucking pussies!!! Let’s look back at this past year, shall we? The fastest rising star in the Empire was none other than Travis Blake!!! I put the Empire on the fucking map and what do I get for it? I watched the fucking owner of this company suck the dicks of all the old fucks and feed them title matches!!! Guys like Page, Crazy Man, Messiah, Go-D and you piece of shit Tank!!! I was the number one contender!!! Where was my World title shot? I beat Tank, Stone and countless other ass-wipes and I had to sit back and watch the “BOSS” blow the old WWCF guys!!! I’m sick of this bullshit!!! I’m the fucking “Face of the Empire”!!! I’m the fucking future of this company!!! I’m...
[ “Human” by Rag’n’Bone Man explodes across the arena as the owner of the Empire Mark Choquette walks out on stage and stops listening to the chorus of cheers. He then sees Travis in the ring and makes a beeline down the ramp. He slowly walks up the ring steps and climbs in the ring. Travis leans against the corner with a shit eating grin on his face. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Travis may be the future, but the boss is the boss and we all answer to him. It seems Travis has some explaining to do.
[ Travis smiles as he watches Mark ask for a mic and Harvey hands him one. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Mark, it’s amazing you could find time to come out here; after sucking so much dick!!!
The Owner of the Empire Mark Choquette – Travis, enough. That’s enough. There are kids in the crowd and there are kids watching at home.
[ Travis laughs at him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Do you think I give a damn about the kids? Fuck them and fuck you!!!
[ Travis defiantly flips Mark off and the crowd boos him. ]
The Owner of the Empire Mark Choquette – That’s enough. You’re done. Let’s go.
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – What’s the matter “BOSS”, you don’t like to hear the truth? That you’ve been kissing old the old guy’s asses while holding guys like me back?
The Owner of the Empire Mark Choquette – I’ve held nobody back. It’s just your demented point of view.
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – My point of view? You are so detached from your own company your delusional!!! Why the fuck do you think Massive Mike left? He knew that he would never get a shot at the world title!!! Why is that? Wait, don’t shovel any more of your shit; let me just tell you. It’s because guys like Tank and Go-D are hogging the spotlight. Your stuck in the past boss and it’s time someone snaps you out of it!!!
[ Mark has no time to react as Travis Blake snaps and levels Mark with a superkick that knocks the owner out cold!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell did Travis just do?!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He’s gone off the proverbial deep end!!! Mark needs help!!!
[ Travis watches as Caristico pulls off his headset and climbs into the ring and kneels over the owner of the Empire. Travis’ face turns twisted an evil as he lashes out and nails Caristico with the Weapon X (the Last Shot)!!! Now Caristico is laid out in the ring beside Mark as the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim rushes down to the ring with a security detail. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That son of a bitch just took out my broadcast partner!!! What the hell is he thinking?!
[ Travis rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp pissed off. The show cuts to the back where we see Maxwell Shaw standing by with Kahagas. ]
Maxwell Shaw – What a crazy night so far and we have yet to have our first match. Kahagas, thank you for joining me tonight. Tonight, you open the show against newcomer Matthew Kirk. 2021 didn’t end well for you as you were unceremoniously kicked out of the New Regime. Right now, you are ranked second in the TV title rankings. A win tonight might put you in line for a TV title shot against whomever wins tonight.
“The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas – 過去は終わったこと、変えられない。しかし、今夜、私の目の前にいるのは、無限の可能性を秘めた若者です。しかし、それがキーワードではないでしょうか？可能性？契約時には誰もが可能性を持っているんだろう？ロープを伝って俺と対決するまではね......東京のモンスター！！マシュー・カーク エンパイアに入ったのは 大げさだが 最初の試合で失敗した 残りの12人も同じだ 若造、お前はただの数字だ 俺のベルトの1つだ
[ For those of you that do not know Japanese, here is the subtitles at the bottom of your screen.]
“The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas – What’s in the past is done, I cannot change that. But what lies before me tonight is a young man with unlimited potential. But isn’t that the key word? Potential? They all have potential when they sign their contract, don’t they? Until they walk through those ropes and have to face me, the Tokyo Monster!!! Matthew Kirk, you come into the Empire with a ton of hype, but so didn’t the last dozen guys that didn’t make it past their first match. Young man, you’re just a number. You’re just another notch in my belt.
[ Maxwell has no clue what Kahagas just said as he watches Kahagas walk off. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Kahagas, thank you; I think. Uh, guys; back to you.
[ The camera cuts back to the announcer’s desk where we see Caristico holding the back of his head still trying to shake off the pain from that shit by Travis Blake. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Caristico, before we move on with the show; how are you doing buddy? Are you alright? That was a hell of a shot you took by Travis.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m fine Phil, thanks for asking. Travis Blake keeps running his mouth and that son of a bitch will get his.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – One could only hope. Folks, after all that; it’s time for the opening match of the night as we are about to see Kahagas take on a newcomer to the Empire in Matthew Kirk. Let’s head to the ring and see what this young man has got.
Matthew Kirk vs Kahagas
“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 from Trenton, NJ; he weighs in at 218 lbs., this is... Matthew Kirk!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet as “Something Special” plays as Matthew Kirk walks out raising one hand into the air, pointing down on himself with his index finger, representing that the spotlight is always on him. He walks down the ramp like normal and gets into the ring by rolling in and making his way to the turnbuckle, taunting the fans with his arms out. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Not much is known about Matthew Kirk other than he’s got a pretty big ego, if you can’t tell. He’s got a pretty cocky attitude and pretty much thinks his shit don’t stink.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Just to tell you a little about Matthew’s path to the Empire, he was signed on to join us for our World Tout just this past Sunday right before the Blackout Pay Per View was to go on the air. It was too late to debut him at the pay per view so the staff decided that he would come out here tonight and show us what he’s made of against the veteran Kahagas.
“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 – Kahagas comes into this match ranked second in the TV title rankings and fifth in the Cruiserweight rankings with a ten and thirteen record. If Mr. Kirk thinks that Kahagas is going to be a walk in the park tonight he’s got another thing coming.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas is a fighter and he’s not afraid to use some underhanded tactics to pick up a win. Especially that red midst he likes to employ from time to time to blind his opponents.
[ The bell rings and both men lock-up. Kirk quickly slips behind Kahagas and delivers a couple shoot kicks to Kahagas’ legs, before running off the ropes and nailing Kahagas in the back of the head with an enzuigiri. Kahagas stumbles forward into the ropes. Kirk runs at him, but Kahagas turns around just in time to cut him off with a clothesline. Kahagas grabs a handful of Kirk’s hair and pulls him up, only to drive him back down with a lariat! Kahagas goes for the early cover …1 …and Kirk kicks out after the one count!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And we are off to a quick start tonight as Kirk tried to take Kahagas down, but the Tokyo Monster used a handful of Kirk’s hair to drag him back to his feet and lariat him back down to the mat. You knew that it wasn’t enough to get the win over Kirk, but Kahagas was just testing the waters as they say.
[ Kahagas stands up and drives his knee down into the skull of Kirk with a vicious knee drop. Kahagas grabs a handful of Kirk’s hair and drags him over to the corner. Kahagas keeps his grip on Kirk’s hair and pulls him into a standing position before hitting him with a couple of knife edge chops. Kahagas backs away, only to come running at Kirk a few seconds later going for a lariat, but Kirk moves just in time to avoid it. Kahagas turns around and is met with flying forearm smash that sends Kahagas down to the mat. Kirk goes for the quick cover …1 …2 … and Kahagas shoves Kirk off of him to break up the pin!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nice counter by Kirk to get out of that corner and level Kahagas with that stiff forearm to the face.
[ Kirk quickly gets to his feet and watches as Kahagas climbs on to one knee in an attempt to stand up. Kirk runs at him nailing Kahagas with a shining wizard!!! Kirk again goes for the cover …1 …2 … and Kahagas manages to power out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That Shining Wizard was the first power move of the match. Kirk was really hoping to end it with that nasty kick to the head.
[ Kirk screams at the referee for what he thinks is a slow count before pulling Kahagas to his feet and delivering a couple knife-edged chops before nailing Kahagas with a roundhouse kick that knocks him onto his ass!!! Kirk then rockets off the ropes and dropkicks Kahagas driving him to the mat. Kirk gets up and he watches Kahagas stagger to his feet. Kirk quickly puts him back down with another roundhouse kick to the back of Kahagas’ head!!! Kahagas is on dream street as Kirk rolls him up for the …1 …2 …2 ½ …but Kahagas grabs the bottom rope breaking the count!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Great ring awareness by the Japanese superstar to know exactly how close to the ropes he was just before the referee’s hand hit the mat.
[ Kirk gets up and shakes his head walking over to the turnbuckle and climbing up! Kahagas is on his feet and turns around just as Kirk comes flying at him with a top rope cross body, but Kahagas manages to catch Kirk and nailing him with a fall-away slam!!! Kahagas kips up, ignoring the pain from being tossed, and nails Kahagas with a corkscrew dropkick that levels Kahagas again!!! The crowd pops as Kirk goes for another cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Kahagas shoots his shoulder off the mat!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Kirk went for that top rope crossbody, but Kahagas caught him and nailed him with that fall way slam. But Kirk popped right back up and destroyed Kahagas with that nasty dropkick!!!
[ Kirk rolls off of him, pounding the mat and yelling at the referee demanding that it was a three count. While Kirk is occupied with berating the referee, Kahagas gets up and comes from behind with a schoolboy pin attempt …1 …2 …and Kirk powers out and jumps to his feet before Kahagas can and attacks him with vicious stomps and kicks!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kirk better wake up and stop arguing with the referee because Kahagas nearly stole a victory out of the jaws of defeat!!!
[ Kirk then grabs Kahagas’ legs and locks in a Cloverleaf!! He locks the submission hold a little too close to the ropes though, as Kahagas can reach them within a matter of seconds forcing Kirk to break the hold and wait for Kahagas to get up. As soon as Kahagas is on his feet, Kirk nails him with a clothesline that sends Kahagas tumbling over the top rope and crashing to the floor. Kirk smirks and heads to the opposite set of ropes, waiting for Kahagas to get up again. Kahagas stands up with assistance from the steel barricade and Kirk runs and leaps onto the top rope, but Kahagas quickly darts back into the ring under the bottom rope as Kirk lands on the ring apron instead of to the floor! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Quick thinking by Kahagas avoiding what could have been a disastrous suicide dive to the floor by Kirk!!!
[ Kahagas turns around just as Kirk leaps onto the top rope and springboards going for moonsault, but Kahagas steps back and Kirk lands on his feet in-front of Kahagas who hooks him up and nails the Monster Driver (Half Nelson Driver)!!! Kahagas goes for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Matthew Kirk!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Excellent win for Kahagas tonight and a pretty poor showing by Kirk who never really was able to put anything together in this match.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Empire staff really had high hopes for this kid, but more times than not the pressure gets to them and they flame out.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are off to a fast start tonight; and right now, our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions Caged Heat.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing between Delta and Loca of Caged Heat. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, tough start to 2022 as a few weeks ago you dropped your first match of the year to the Heartbreakers; who then went on to Climax to lose to the reigning Women’s World Tag Team Champions Blue Nation for a second time. With S.E.X. within percentage points behind you in the rankings, how important is this match tonight?
Delta – S.E.X.? Are you kidding me? That’s the biggest concern in the tag team division right now? S.E.X.?
Cindy Meyers – Well, they did beat Jessicka Havok and Bloody Mary in that steel cage match back at Climax.
Loca – Listen up. S.E.X. aint nothen but a joke. And the Heartbreakers, you lost twice. Time to get your asses to the back of the line. The real threat in this division is Caged Heat. We are two-time champions and we want our straps back!!! Tonight, we just don’t beat them Mean Girls, we are gonna punish them!!!
[ Just then, Spice, Katie Forbes and Joey Ryan walk onto the set. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Wait, hold the phone; we’re a joke? Look at you two. You can’t even speak English? Do the two of you even have a high school education?
“Cotton Candy” Katie Forbes – GED? We need that to wrestle?
[ Spice looks at her cross-eyed. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Just stand there and look... look like yourself.
[ Katie smiles. ]
“Cotton Candy” Katie Forbes – Okeydokey.
Delta – Listen, we aint go no time for you two fools to be standing here running your mouths. Everyone knows you both got damn lucky to walk out of that cage at Climax in one piece. And if I were you, I wouldn’t be running your mouths too loud cause Bloody Mary and Havok, they aint gonna forget what you...
[ And she looks right at Joey Ryan... ]
Delta - ...or you, did to them.
[ Caged Heat storms off as Joey Ryan looks at Spice and Katie confused. ]
“The Don” Joey Ryan – What did I do? I was the victim. Havok assaulted me!!!
[ Spice looks at him like she has no idea why she’s with them. ]
“A Slice of” Spice – Are you for real?
“The Don” Joey Ryan – I’m all real baby. Nothing genetically modified here.
[ Both women giggles as the show cuts back to the announcers table. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Back at Climax, S.E.X. with the help of Joey Ryan was able to defeat Bloody Mary and Havok. With that they have moved up within striking distance of Caged Heat and possibly a Women’s World Tag Team title shot.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You know that, by hook or by crook; Caged Heat can feel the pressure of S.E.X. inching closer to them in the standing. There’s nothing more S.E.X. wants is to get the Women’s titles back.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Partner, it’s been a pretty bad month for the Mean Girls as their entire plan came crashing down around them thanks to Zelda Edge. Tonight, they face Caged Heat in a match that Delta and Loca need to stay ahead of S.E.X. in the standings. This is a big match for both teams for two very different reasons. Let’s rejoin Harvey in the ring for this match’s introductions!!!
The Mean Girls vs Caged Heat
“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, weighing in at a combined weight of 250 lbs., Loca and Delta; they are the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions, they are… Caged Heat!!!
[ The crowd boos as the two former convicts march down to the ring rapping their own theme song “Do it yourself” before finally rolling into the ring. Caged Heat storms around as the sold-out crowd boos them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here are the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champion’s Caged Heat. Loca and Delta come into this match with an eleven and thirteen record and are currently ranked second in the division being a very tough Heartbreakers who lost their rematch to Blue Nation at Climax in a match that I really thought they would win and regain their titles.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Let’s face it, Blue Nation is pretty damn good and right now they have not one but two wins over the Heartbreakers. If Caged Heat wants a shot at the champs, they first have to get past the Mean Girls. With Last Rights being just three weeks away, every match means something. A single loss can set you back for months if you want to be considered for a title.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, they weigh in at a combined weight of 264 lbs, Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay; they are... the Mean Girls!!!
[ "Beautiful Sexy Fierce" by Ashley Jana rocks the arena as the two very sexy but arrogant women strut out on stage as they flirt with the sold-out crowd. They sashay their asses down to the ring and climb in posing on each turnbuckle. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here come the Mean Girls. Things have not gone their way these past few months as they enter this match with a two and four record and are positioned dead last in the division. But not just that, but the scam they tried to play with Godzilla backfired as Zelda Edge let the proverbial cat out of the bag showing the entire world that Jessica was no more than a cheap con artist looking to take all of Godzilla’s money and then divorce him. Thank God someone was watching Godzilla’s back.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Let’s not stop there. We also learned tonight that Amber Nova has fired the Mean Girls from their spot in the Bullet Club. We all saw what happened to Travis Blake at Blackout where the Mean Girls bribed the Guerillas with gold watches to not interfere. Well, that underhanded move didn’t sit well with the leader of the Bullet Club and he ousted the Mean Girls. It is going to be interesting to see if they can regroup tonight and pick up the pieces.
[ The referee calls for the bell as Delta and Cassie decide to kick things off. The bell rings and both women charge to the center of the ring, locking up in a test of strength. Cassie gets the initial advantage, but Delta powers back, bending Cassie backwards in an awkward position before pulling her upward and knocking her onto the mat with a short-arm clothesline. Delta grabs a handful of Cassie’s hair and yanks at it, forcing her onto her feet. Delta and Cassie lock-up again and this time Cassie pushes Delta back into the corner, choking her with her forearm while the referee counts …1 …2 …3 …4 ...and Cassie backs away with her hands away Delta, but Delta rushes out of the corner and spears Cassie. Cassie attempts the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …and Cassie kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a nasty spear by Delta into Cassie who backed away legally I might add only to be taken down for her honesty.
[ Both women climb to their feet and begin to battle it out exchanging forearms in the center of the ring for about thirty seconds before Cassie hits Delta hard enough to send her stumbling back. Cassie quickly jumps up and sends Delta down to the mat with a huracanrana! Cassie frantically covers Delta as the referee counts …1 …2 …and Delta kicks out of the pinning predicament!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The last thing that Cassie needed to do was stand toe to toe with Delta and start trading punches. These women are brawlers and Cassie would have gotten her clocked cleaned.
[ Both women get to their feet, but Delta is quicker as she manages to hook Cassie’s head and drive her into the mat with a DDT! Delta rolls Cassie over for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Cassie shoots her shoulder off the mat!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a DDT by Delta to spike Cassie right on the crown of her head!!! That’s going to leave her seeing stars for a while.
[ A frustrated Delta slams her fist on the mat and gets up quickly dragging Cassie by her hair to the corner where Loca awaits. Delta tags in Loca who climbs into the ring. Delta holds Cassie back against the turnbuckle as Loca delivers a couple of hard right hands to Cassie’s head and then backs up a short distance for a corner lariat! Delta leaves the ring as Cassie collapses to her knees. Loca takes a few steps back and delivers a punt kick to Cassie’s gut that doubles her over. Loca grabs Cassie by the hair and drags her across the ring to the corner where Jessica is drops her down begging for Jessica to get her ass in the ring!!! Cassie reaches up and tags in Jessica. Loca smirks as Jessica steps into the ring and stares her down. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Boy, oh boy; there is no love loss, between these two women. Without the protection of Amber Nova and the Bullet Club, the Men Girls are swimming in an ocean full of sharks right now!!!
[ Jessica runs at Loca and begins firing away with rights and lefts. Loca just laughs at Cassie and then pie faces her! This gets Jessica even more fired up and she unleashes another flurry of punches, with some kicks mixed in here. Loca staggers slightly, but then blasts Jessica with a vicious right hand that sends her down to the mat! Loca attempts to pin Jessica with just her foot as the referee shrugs his shoulders and count …1 …and only gets a one count which prompts Loca to kick Jessica hard in the ribs!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a shot to Jessica’s ribs right there as she could have busted one or two of them from the impact!!!
[ Jessica rolls over in pain as Loca grabs her hair and pulls her head up, and then follows up by slamming Jessica’s face down onto the mat! Loca goes for the pin once again by simply placing one foot on Jessica’s chest as the referee counts …1 …and once again Loca only gets only a one count on Jessica! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If Loca is serious about winning this match maybe she should act like it. The Mean Girls may not be as talented as Caged Heat, but they very well could steal a win tonight if Caged Heat are not careful.
[ Loca grabs Jessica’s head, forcing her onto her feet; but ends up catching a slap across the face from Jessica! Jessica nails a dropkick to the knee of Loca, which luckily has enough force behind it to bring Loca down to one knee. Jessica comes off the ropes and steps up on Loca’s knee, nailing her with a step-up enzuigiri! Loca collapses onto her back and Jessica goes for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Loca powers Jessica off of her with force. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – See, that’s a perfect example of what you were just trying to get across. Loca needs to stop playing around. She nearly lost this match for her team tonight with her antics.
[ Loca turns over and begins to climb back to her feet, but Jessica quickly delivers a dropkick to the side of Loca’s head to prevent that from happening. Jessica comes off of the ropes and drives a dropkick into Loca and then heads to the corner to tag in Cassie! Cassie and Jessica approach Loca and work together to drag her to her feet and then drive her back down with a double legsweep!!! Cassie rolls Loca up going for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ … and Delta dives in shoving Cassie off of Loca!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Delta knew that Loca was in bad shape and that if she didn’t do something quick this match would have ended in an upset!!! Loca needs to get to her corner and tag in her partner.
[ Loca begins to climb to her feet again. While on one knee, Cassie kicks her in the head, but Loca shrugs it off pumping up like Hulk Hogan and gets to a standing position. Cassie runs at her and attempts a flying cross body, but Loca catches her and drives her into the mat with a gorilla press slam!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Loca is running on pure adrenaline right now as she just slammed Cassie into the mat like she was nothing!!! Loca needs to find a way to hold onto this momentum.
[ Loca doesn’t go for the pin however, as she grabs a handful of Cassie’s hair and forces her up onto her feet, only to toss her across the ring and into her team’s corner. Loca obstructs the referee’s vision and argues with him about the hair pulling while Delta uses her foot to choke Cassie in the corner! Loca ends her argument with the referee just in time for him to catch Jessica entering the ring. While he goes to reprimand her, Loca drapes Cassie over the bottom rope for Delta to choke her some more while Loca stomps Cassie in the back! The referee turns around and Delta quickly stops choking Cassie and Loca makes the tag. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Now the double teaming begins as Caged Heat looks to wear down the Mean Girls, softening them up for the kill.
[ Delta enters the ring and grabs Cassie’s foot, dragging her to the center of the ring. Delta stands over Cassie and begins to hit her with repeated forearm shots to the back of the neck before locking in the camel clutch! Delta has Cassie right where she wants her, but Jessica comes out of nowhere with a dropkick to the back of Delta’s head breaking the submission hold! Loca is livid and enters the ring in going after Jessica, but Jessica slides out under the bottom rope to escape Loca! Loca leaves the ring, hot on Jessica’s trail, but as soon as she is out of the ring, Jessica is on the apron and uses the second rope turnbuckle to fly high with a springboard moonsault that sends Loca and her crashing onto the floor!!! Delta, a bit dazed after taking a dropkick to the back of the head, stands up and doesn’t quite seem sure of where she is! Cassie manages to get up as well nailing a bridging Tiger Suplex for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Delta narrowly kicks out and Cassie is in shock with her eyes and mouth wide open!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a nasty Tiger Suplex by Cassie who delivered what she thought was the knockout blow to end the match, but Delta was having no part of it as she found a way to kick out!!!
[ Cassie hooks Delta’s head under her arm and lifts her onto her feet. Cassie scoops her up and appears to be going for the Venus Fly Trap (Fisherman’s Suplex), but Delta knees Cassie and then thrusts her shoulder into Cassie’s gut and breaks free of her grip, following it up with a roundhouse kick to Cassie’s head!!! Cassie crumples to the mat as Delta goes for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Cassie kicks out! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Wow, both of these women are giving everything they have tonight in order to pick up the win. If Cassie could have hit the Venus Fly trap this match would have been over. Jessica and Loca are still nowhere to be seen.
[ Delta pounds the mat furiously before wrapping her hands around Cassie’s throat and slamming her head viciously against the mat! The referee counts …1 …2 …3 …4 …and tells Delta to stop, but she won’t listen! The referee grabs her and attempts to pull her off, which just pisses her off even more! Delta stands up and begins arguing with the official as Jessica makes her way back onto the apron and Loca is on the outside attempting to climb back onto her feet. While Delta is caught up in her argument, Cassie crawls over to her corner and tags in Jessica! Jessica enters the ring and squats with her hands on her knees, waiting for Delta to turn around and as soon as she does; Jessica nails Delta with a spinning savate kick! Cassie is back on her feet and notices Loca is on her feet as well on the outside. She comes off the ropes and goes for a springboard somersault plancha, but Loca manages to dodge the high-risk maneuver and Cassie crashes down to the floor hard!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is why that call it high risk people. High risk, high reward!!!
[ Loca climbs up onto the apron but receives a forearm from Jessica for her troubles. Jessica attempts to hit Loca with a right hand, but Loca catches her arm and brings her over to the corner, wringing it across the top turnbuckle! Delta is back up and decides to climb the turnbuckle. Loca begins to measure up Jessica, but Jessica reacts quickly by jumping onto the second rope and hitting Delta with a forearm to the face. With Delta now seated on the top turnbuckle, Jessica attempts to bring her down with a top rope huracanrana, but Delta grabs Jessica’s legs and prevents the move! Delta then grabs Jessica’s arms and pulls her up into a powerbomb position before standing up with her feet planted on the second rope and jumping down, slamming Jessica into the center of the ring with the powerbomb! Delta goes for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Jessica somehow, someway manages to kick out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a top rope powerbomb by Delta that just folded Jessica up like a pretzel!!!
[ Delta’s eyes bulge out of her head as she gets up wondering how the fuck she kicked out. Delta comes off of the ropes and comes back with a big leg drop right across Jessica’s throat. Delta pulls her onto her feet and whips her into the corner, running after her and nailing her with a corner forearm before she tags in Loca! Loca lifts Jessica into a powerslam position, carrying her to the center of the ring, but Cassie quickly slides in behind Loca and pulls Jessica’s feet, saving her! Cassie pays the price however as Loca grabs her throat with both hands, lifting her into the air before slamming her down onto the mat with a face plant. Jessica jumps onto Loca’s back, attempting to put her in a sleeper hold! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s total chaos in the ring right now as all four women are laying into each other!!! Now it’s Jessica who’s looking to end this with a sleeper hold on Loca!!!
[ Loca reaches behind her back, grabbing Jessica by the head with both hands and slamming her down with a snap mare! Cassie is up again, but Delta charges in and hits her with a clothesline that knocks her into the ropes. Delta holds Cassie against the ropes, attacking her viciously with knees. Delta then grabs Cassie by the arm and lifts her onto her shoulders and then driving her down with a reverse death-valley driver! Loca grabs Jessica by the throat with one hand and puts the other behind her head as she brings her to her feet. Delta positions herself a couple feet behind Jessica and nods to Loca. Loca drills Jessica with the spinning backfist, sending her stumbling back into Delta who hooks her arms and raises her into the air in an elevated double chicken wing faceplant!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a double team move by Caged Heat and they have the Mean Girls in a bad way right now. It won’t take much to put them away!!!
[ Delta has both of Jessica’s shoulders are on the mat for the cover as the referee dives in for the count …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Caged Heat!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And things continue to get worse for the Mean Girls as their problems continue to pile up. After getting tossed from the Bullet Club tonight, they follow it up with a disappointing loss to Caged Heat. Their entire world is crumbling around them!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Creepy” plays over the crowd noise and the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova powerwalks out on stage in her street clothes and marches right down to the ring. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It looks like the Women’s Champion has got something on her mind tonight. Do you think it has anything to do with what happened to her as Climax went off the air?
[ Amber grabs the mic from Harvey and climbs into the ring. The Mean Girls are still in the ring, but not for long as Amber rudely tosses them both to the floor like yesterdays news. She stands dead center in the ring and glares at the camera. ]
The Three-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Shanna Furguson, you Neanderthal looking bitch; you wanna attack me from behind? You think your bad enough to knock me off my throne? Bitch, there’s a reason why you’re the Women’s National Champion and it’s because everyone knows you’ll always be second best!!!
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays as the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson storms down to the ring with Reverend Azazel right behind her, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb. She dives under the bottom rope and goes right at Amber and they start exchanging massive blows. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is crazy!!! Our two women’s champions are going at it right in the center of the ring!!! This is like Kong versus Godzilla!!!
[ Amber gets the upper hand and sends Shanna into the ropes before taking her down with a Spinebuster!!! The crowd erupts as Amber turns her back on Shanna thinking she’s done as she celebrates in the middle of the ring. Unknowingly, Shanna gets right back to her feet like that slam never fazed her at all. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell is Shanna made of? Amber just slammed her with everything she had and Shanna reacted like it didn’t hurt her at all!!!
[ Amber turns back around and sees the crazed look in Shanna’s eyes. Before Shanna can get her hands on Amber, the Women’s Champion drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring and back up the ramp. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – You can just feel it, these two women are on a collision course and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. Folks, at Blackout we watched as Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln came to the aid of both Chandler Hopkins and Psycho Messiah when Jake Owens and Aric Cannon attacked them evening the odds. Right now, Psycho Messiah is standing by with his friends as they get ready for their match against the Cartel.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Psycho Messiah along with as Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln backstage. ]
Psycho Messiah – Cartel, we’ll get to you boys in a minute. Now you Forgotten, did you really think I was going to walk into another match leaving my back wide open? That I wouldn’t do what I had to do to protect myself? You see, if there was one thing that my feud with Shane and Legacy taught me was that I need someone to watch my back. Someone that I know that I can trust. And that’s where these men come in. You boys try your shit again, you’ll have more than just me to deal with.
[ Messiah pauses before continuing. ]
Psycho Messiah – Travis Blake, son; you’re on the edge. What were you thinking super kicking the boss right in the face? Not a great career move if you ask me. But I’ll overlook your stupidity and settle on just kicking your dumb ass. There’s only one way this is going to end tonight and that’s with me advancing to the second round of the Emperor’s Crown tournament.
[ Messiah puts his hand on Luther and Seth’s shoulders and smiles. ]
Psycho Messiah – Now you Cartel. You boys drew the short straw tonight. Tonight, my boys show the entire Empire what they are in store for. Tonight, the Anarchy Suicide Squad put a stamp on their place in the Empire. World Tag Team titles!!! World Six-man Tag Team titles!!! World Heavyweight title!!! Oh, and let’s not forget that US title shot I have stashed away in my back pocket where I can cash in any time I damn well please. For months everyone stood by and watched as Legacy tried to destroy me, doing nothing to help me. Now it’s my turn. Now it’s our turn. Let’s go.
[ The Anarchy Suicide Squad walk off as the show cuts back to Caristico and Phillip at the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Bold statement by Psycho Messiah as he pretty much outlined what he has for himself and for the team that he has assembled in the wake of Shane McMahon being ousted and the power vacuum that it has left in its wake.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody is happier to see Shane McMahon gone more than Psycho Messiah is. The shit he put Messiah through almost broke him. I cannot blame Messiah for going to these lengths to protect himself and his interests.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, what a war we are about to witness tonight as the Cartel takes on the Anarchy Suicide Squad. What a way to make their first entrance into the Empire. This one will not be for the feint of hart folks. Let’s head back to the ring as my good friend Harvey Weinstein is ready with tonight’s introductions!!!
Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln vs Felix Escobar, Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Holidead, they weigh in at a combined weight of 756 lbs., this is... “The Raven” Felix Escobar, Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter... the Cartel!!!
[ The crowd erupts as “I came to Collect” by CFO$ explodes across the arena as Holidead, Felix Escobar, Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter slowly walks out from the back to the booing of the sold-out crowd. The Cartel slowly climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes. Felix slowly walks around the ring showing no emotion on his face as Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter bookend him always being his protector!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is one hell of a team Caristico, but they were not enough this past week at Blackout to overcome the powerful trio of Alexander Stone, Mitch Fierce and Maverick.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – To me, the Cartel bit off more than they could chew at the pay per view; and now tonight they walk right back into the fire against a team that they know little to nothing about. I don’t think that this match favors the cartel one bit. It could be a long night for the Cartel.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, they weigh in at a combined weight of 740 lbs, Luther Lincoln, Osiris Lincoln and Seth Lincoln; they are... the Anarchy Suicide Squad!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This team looks like a group of men that you wouldn’t want to mess with in a back ally. Years of wrestling on the independent circuit have hardened these men like granite. Tough as nails and razor sharp. Hardcore to the bone. If the Cartel wants a war, they got one.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Psycho Messiah calls these men the Anarchy Suicide Squad. I look at them and I think Kill Squad. This is not going to be a wrestling match folks, this is going to be a brawl.
[ The referee calls for the bell as Seth looks to start first for his team and then calls for Felix to do the same for the other side. Felix looks all too eager to start things off as they circle one another. They are about to lock horns when all of a sudden, Felix quickly goes over and tags in Blood Hunter instead!! The crowd boos as Felix laughs and steps out onto the apron and Blood Hunter enters the ring! Blood Hunter and Seth lock-up and Blood Hunter quickly tosses Seth across the ring, showing off his strength!! Seth gets back to his feet and the two go to lock horns for a second time and Seth takes Blood Hunter’s arm, pulling it behind his back with a hammerlock!! Blood Hunter tries to reach back with his free arm, as Seth does his best to avoid getting caught, only for Blood Hunter to now back him up into one of the corners, forcing the referee to step in! The referee starts to count ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Seth finally lets go of the hold!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s early in the match, but Seth has done a decent job so far neutralizing the much larger Blood Hunter. Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time before they are going to have to go toe to toe with the monster.
[ Blood Hunter spins around and takes a wild swing, that Seth ducks under and now Blood Hunter is trapped in the corner allowing Seth to fire off lefts and rights mixed with kicks and chops laying into Blood Hunter!! Seth stops and takes Blood Hunter by the arm goes for an Irish whip, but Blood Hunter easily reverses it and charges after him only to have Seth dodge to the side at the last second, forcing Blood Hunter to slam into the turnbuckles!! Seth quickly tags in Luther as Blood Hunter staggers around and they team up to deliver a double kick to the gut, hooking Blood Hunter up and then powering him up and over with a double suplex!! Seth leaves the ring as Luther goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Blood Hunter kicks out with authority!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Seth and Luther have done an excellent job so far isolating Blood Hunter on their side of the ring, preventing him from making a tag to a fresh man. Let’s see if they can keep it up.
[ Luther begins to drag Blood Hunter back up, hammering away with some hard rights, before switching behind him and then hooking him up to deliver a back suplex, planting him down on the mat!!! Luther goes for the cover again ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Blood Hunter kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Blood Hunter is a tough son of a bitch, but it wont last forever. He better start thinking about tagging in a fresh man.
[ Luther starts to drag Blood Hunter back up when all of a sudden, Blood Hunter bursts forwards and drives Luther into his corner, pinning him against the turnbuckles and Mil Muertes tags himself in and hammers away on Luther before Blood Hunter exits the ring!! Mil Muertes pulls Luther out from the corner and drops him down with a side Russian leg sweep and goes for a cover ...1 ...2 ...and Luther kicks out with authority!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally, Blood Hunter was able to make the tag to Mil Muertes who was able to get the upper hand on Luther and take him down with that leg sweep. It was never going to be enough to win the match, but it gave Mil Muertes the ability to judge Luther’s endurance.
[ Mil Muertes drags Luther upright and locks on a rear chin-lock trying to wear him down as the referee gets right in there checking on him, but Luther refuses to give up!! Luther battles back to a vertical base where he fires off several elbows to the ribs of Mil Muertes before finally shoving him off into the ropes and then cutting him off with a big clothesline on the return! Mil Muertes gets back up and runs right into a second clothesline before Luther drags Mil Muertes up and whips him off the ropes and hitting a back body drop to take him down!! Osiris reaches over the ropes and tags himself in!! Osiris cuts Mil Muertes off with some clubbing blows to the back and then pulls Mil Muertes up and grabs him by the waist, hitting a gut wrench suplex before going for the cover ...1 ...2 ...and Mil Muertes kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nice teamwork by the Anarchy Suicide Squad to keep rotating the fresh man into the match. We have yet to see the leader of the Cartel, Felix Escobar enter the fray and get his hands dirty.
[ Osiris drags Mil Muertes back up, cracking him in the back of the head with some vicious elbow shots before twisting him around and then dropping him with a neckbreaker!! Instead of going for the cover, Osiris pops right back to his feet and drives a big leg drop across his throat and then rolls him up for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Mil Muertes kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Cartel have no answers right now for the Anarchy Suicide Squad. Maybe it’s time for Felix to get in there and show some leadership. Or is he a coward?
[ Osiris drags him back up and then places Mil Muertes on his shoulder, charging across the ring as he tries to ram him into the corner but Mil Muertes manages to slip down and shove him off before scrambling over and tagging out to Felix, who doesn’t want any part of getting in the ring!! The referee tells Felix to enter the ring now, which he grudgingly does as Osiris glares across at him with a smirk, daring Felix to bring it on! Felix lunges forward and then fires off a flurry of forearms and kicks as he tries to take the fight right to Osiris backing him into the corner only for the referee to intervene and pull Felix off, giving him a stern warning!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Now we are going to see exactly what Felix is made of.
[ Felix argues back at the referee only for Osiris to burst forward, cutting him off and then getting in a few shots!! Osiris then whips Felix off the ropes and drives him down with a discus double axe handle to the chest, that spins Felix inside out!! Osiris stomps away on Felix wearing him down before finally leading him back upright and goes for a short-arm clothesline that Felix ducks under. Osiris turns back towards Felix, only to get caught with a Super Kick right beneath the jaw!! Felix bursts forwards and nails a shining wizard leaving both men down and out!!! Felix clambers back to his feet and hacks away at Osiris before yanking him upright and hitting a tornado DDT!! Felix goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Osiris kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Felix nearly won the match right there with that tornado DDT that spiked Osiris right on the crown of his head!!! What a shot Phillip.
[ Felix tags in Blood Hunter, who enters the ring and immediately drags Osiris back up, firing off some stiff shots!! He then whips him into the ropes and nails him on the rebound with a boot to the face knocking him down before grabbing Osiris by the throat, yanking him back to his feet and setting him up for a chokeslam; but Osiris counters by raking Blood Hunters eyes which allows him to break free of Blood Hunter’s grip followed by a head butt, catching Blood Hunter by surprise!! Osiris then powers Blood Hunter up and drives him back down again with a side slam and then tags out to Luther!! The crowd goes wild as Luther races across the ring and clotheslines Felix knocking him off the apron! Luther goes after Blood Hunter, cutting him off with a kick to the gut before nailing him with a DDT!! Luther begins raining down stiff rights at Blood Hunter’s head, trying to wear him down!! The referee starts his count ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...before finally dragging Luther off and warning knock the shit off!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nothing fancy in this match folks. It’s a straight up slugfest tonight!!!
[ Luther notices Blood Hunter beginning to get up, and he takes off for the ropes only for Mil Muertes to trip him up sending Luther face-first into the canvas!! Luther gets up holding his face before turning and yelling at Mil Muertes allowing Blood Hunter hit Luther in the back of the head with a stiff right, before hooking him up from behind and dropping him with a backbreaker across his knee!! Blood Hunter goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Luther kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a crippling backbreaker by Blood Hunter that could have snapped Luther’s spine!!!
[ Blood Hunter won’t let up there as he drags Luther over to the corner, where he tags in Mil Muertes who dishes out some more stiff rights of his own before hooking him up and bringing Luther down with a nasty chokeslam!!! Mil Muertes tries for a pin as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Luther reaches out and grabs the bottom rope!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Now it’s Luther that needs to get out of the ring and tag in a fresh man. Between Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes they have done a great job isolating Luther, the bigger of the three Lincoln brothers.
[ Mil Muertes gets up and heads back to the corner, lifting himself onto the middle rope before diving off and going for a leg drop; but to his demise Luther rolls out of the way at the last second, causing Mil Muertes to crash to the canvas below!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Not sure what the hell Mil Muertes was thinking. He took a hell of a risk going to the corner and attempting the leg drop. Big guys like him should stay off the ropes like that.
[ The crowd goes wild as both men get back to their feet where Mil Muertes goes for a clothesline, but Luther ducks and hits the ropes coming back with a flying knee!! Luther yanks him back up and tries for an Irish whip but Mil Muertes reverses, lowering his head only to get caught with a knee smash that knocks him back down again!! Luther goes over and tags out to Seth. Seth enters the ring as Mil Muertes picks himself back up in the far corner. Seth races towards him to land and drives a corner clothesline home. Seth then pulls Mil Muertes out from the corner and hits a running Death Valley driver to plant him in the middle of the ring!! Seth goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Mil Muertes powers out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Seth is doing an incredible job keeping the much bigger Mil Muertes off his feet. That well timed Death Valley Driver almost won him the match!!!
[ Seth is pissed that he didn’t get the three count and he gets up and turns to the referee around shoves him in the chest!! The referee looks out across the arena in shock, slowly turning back to glare at Seth before shoving him back in the chest, again showing off that he is the referee and he must be respected!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Not a smart move by Seth right now. The Anarchy Suicide Squad has done a great job in this match fighting toe to toe with the Cartel to let it slip away like this.
[ Luther climbs into the ring and tries to play peacemaker!! Luther tells Seth to calm down as Mil Muertes makes the desperate tag to Felix and rolls out to the floor. Felix climbs into the ring when suddenly, “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee explodes across the arena and the crowd goes wild as Felix stops, turns and looks up the ramp to see Tito Escobar walk out to a tremendous pop!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The longest reigning United States Heavyweight Champion is back in the Empire Caristico, and he’s got his sights set on his brother!!!
[ Back in the ring, Felix gets into an offensive stance as he motions for his step brother to bring it; unaware that from behind Osiris and Seth are ready for the Springboard Doomsday Device!!! Felix is wiped out in the center of the ring as Seth drops down to make the cover ...1 ...2 ...and Blood Hunter tries to get in the ring but he’s cut off by Luther stopping him ...3!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Luther, Seth and Osiris Lincoln!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Anarchy Suicide Squad picked up their first win here in the Empire, but not without a nod to Tito Escobar.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Tito has been making one shot appearance’s since getting fired from the Empire back at All Hallows Evil about four months ago.
[ The crowd cheers Tito as he struts down to the ring and slowly climbs in as Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes grab Felix and drag him out. Tito pulls a mic out of his back pocket and watches his stepbrother stagger back up the ramp with his teammates assistance. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – Félix, ¿adónde vas hermano? ¿No estás feliz de verme? ¿Me has extrañado? Esperé semanas y meses para venir aquí y enfrentarte y ahora metes la cola entre las nalgas y huyes como un perro. Padre no estaría muy feliz contigo. (Felix, where are you going brother? Aren't you happy to see me? Have you missed me? I've waited weeks and months to come out here and face you and now you tuck your tail between your ass cheeks and you run away like some dog. Father would not be very happy with you.)
[ The Vietnamese crowd is dumfounded not understanding that language. Tito puts his hand up with a smile... ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – Sorry, sorry; my bad. I forgot my manners. Let me translate for everyone here tonight and for you Felix just in-case you don’t get where this is going. We all know that you weren’t the brightest of children when we grew up.
[ Now the crowd cheers understanding him. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – March 6th, Last Rites; I’m taking back what you screwed me out of!!! I’m coming for your roster spot!!!
[ Tito slams the mic to the mat as the crowd explodes to their feet cheering. Back at the top of the ramp, Felix’s eyes are bulging out of his head as he cannot believe that he has to face Tito at the upcoming pay per view event!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, we have just learned what our first match at Last Right’s is going to be and boy is it big. Tito Escobar will face his half-brother Felix with Felix’s roster spot hanging in the balance!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – We are finally going to see these two brothers settle their differences inside the ring with Felix’s roster spot at the prize. What a match we are going to be treated to folks. I have seen both of these men wrestle over the years and I can tell you that this is going to be a hell of a match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, for a while now we have watched the demise of Godzilla Sanchez as he was brainwashed by the Mean Girls. His actions led to him breaking up the Three Best Friends and even the beating of his best friend Maverick. Tonight, Godzilla has sent in a video package that he has asked us to show. Let’s watch.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Godzilla Sanchez sitting on a plane. He still has his hair black and his cool beard grown but he seems sad.]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Dual champion, heartbroken and lost. That is where I stood Sunday night. I appreciate Zelda giving me so much truth, but I've been on such a weird journey, I needed to go find myself again.
[ We see Godzilla walking the coast. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - I flew to Mazatlan, Sinaola, Mexico, the home town of my mother and where my family came from. They started as humble fishermen and eventually fell into the unsavory business of the cartels, but I wasn't here for that. I dined in the restaurants my mom told me of and ate fresh ceviches and shrimp tamales, I visited the local attractions and stood at the top of the lighthouse and felt more Mexican pride then I've ever truly felt in my life. So long I had ignored this part of myself and my heritage cause of the pain it caused me. Mother has been dead for 20 years now, I still miss her but did I need to anymore? Had becoming Greyson Suave drawn me closer to her, or has it helped release the sadness and hate within me and allowed me to move forward.
[ We cut to Godzilla walking the streets of San Diego. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - I then went to my hometown of San Diego, near La Jolla beach. Maybe I never met or knew my real father, but I never dwelled because Tank was always more than enough and Bella was the best sister one could ask for.
[ Godzilla arrives in front of an old gym. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - This is where I trained to be a wrestler and found my true passion in life. I'm a success right, was it all worth it, this business has given me so much, but lately, it's taken so much away from me.
[ Godzilla stands in a hotel room looking in the mirror. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - So, where did this soul quest lead me to? Am I Greyson Suave or am I Godzilla Sanchez? Who best represents the real me? Who am I now, can I go back?
[ The video ends and the crowd is silent. Suddenly “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult starts up and out stomps Godzilla Sanchez, his hair is bleached again and he's shaven with new trunks that proudly display the seal of Sinaloa on them. The US title is around his waist and he holds the Cruiserweight title up high. He spits his mist out and stomps to the ring. He gets on the top rope and sprays out more mist before hoping in the ring with the microphone. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Ladies and gentlemen, I'm back to just being Godzilla. First, I'd like to apologize to the fans. I was blinded and I thought I was doing what my love wanted, but alas, we all know that wasn't the case. It wasn't all for not though, I truthfully don't know if I could have matched Travis Blake's hate if I hadn't made the switch, and without that, I might not have these two belts. I've done a lot of thinking and soul searching lately, but it’s all for not if I don't do this next thing. Maverick, please come to the ring.
[ “Highway to the Danger Zone” starts up and out walks Maverick. He holds his Six-man title belt in the air and does a slow-motion pose with it before walking to the ring. He gets in and just stares at Godzilla. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Maverick, I went too far in our match and for that I apologize. I apologize for putting the girl before you and I promise to try and never let that happen again. Can you forgive me?
[ Maverick takes the mic and thinks about it. ]
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You realize you almost killed me with that chair shot? I don't remember how that match ended and I'm pretty sure I forgot Geometry in the process.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - In my defense, you did throw me through a window and then off a stage.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - Because you were about to do the same to me.
[ Godzilla nods that he’s correct. ]
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Well, alright I apologized, what do I have to do to make this right?
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You vacated our six-man belts, I mean Stone and I are still the champs, but you know, it's not the same.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - I can't fix that one I don't think, but we can still chill, just need to remember to keep a whole-body space between us and Aoife.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - And you also need to earn the right to date my sister.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - What do you want, money, women, power? A nice steak dinner followed by some cotton candy and cookies?
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - I had you beat in that Cruiserweight title match and I want a rematch.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Consider it done, let’s do it at Last Rites.
[ The crowd cheers this. ]
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - And, you in the Emperors Crown Tournament.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Right.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You remember a Knights Tale?
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - Of course, Heath Ledger, may he rest in peace.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - Next week, in your match with Steve Scott, you are not to perform a move of offense.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - You’re telling me to lose?
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - You need to prove to me that winning isn't more important than our friendship, and I'd rather not have you lay down for me, so let’s do it that way.
The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion Godzilla Sanchez - That's a pretty big ask Maverick.
World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge - This is the way God, take it or leave it.
[ Maverick walks away as Godzilla is left thinking as the cameras cut to the back where we see Tony Tran standing by with the Golden BoyZ and Courtney Cox. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls; children of all ages. It is my distinct pleasure to introduce to you the NEW Million Dollar Dream Team.
[ Tran pauses with a smile as the camera zooms in on the smug Golden BoyZ and the angry Courtney Cox. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Now you have to be wondering what makes this group any different than the last? Well, the Million Dollar Man has decided to put his wrestling gear away and focus on being the best damn manager the Empire has ever had, currently has, or will ever have. 2022 will be the year of the Million Dollar Dream Team. When the Hall of Fame comes knocking, I will be the first person to go in as both a wrestler and a manager!!!
[ Tran pauses as he smugly looks into the camera. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Just look at the team I have assembled. The Golden BoyZ. A hot young tag team that is on the verge of greatness. Courtney Cox, a diamond in the rough that I will mold into a future Women’s World Champion. But that’s not all. My sister Erica is out there right now scouring the globe looking for just the right person to join this elite organization!!! The Million Dollar Dream Team will make it’s run toward greatness and tonight it starts with you Lynch Mob. You bunch of country hick’s, tonight you get schooled in greatness. Tonight, money talks and your country asses walk.
[ A pissed off Courtney steps up in-front of Tran. ]
Courtney Cox – Aoife, at Climax you and that ape Mitch Fierce got lucky. You and I know that I am the better wrestler. That I would have made you happier than he ever could. You made the wrong choice yah dumb bitch and one of these days you’re going to pay for that decision. The heartbreak and the embarrassment you caused me. But that’s later. Tonight, Z.O.E. walks into a shit storm. Tonight, I’m going to whoop your ass so bad you’ll be begging to put that mask back on. You may be a part of the Edge clan, but that don’t scare me in the least. Just look at all of you. With every generation it seems like you all get dumber and dumber. Maverick? Idiot. Conner? Idiot. Bella? Biggest idiot of all. Tonight, I stamp my place in the Women’s division by taking another Edge down!!!
[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – So, what I got out of all that noise was that Tony Tran is hanging up his wrestling boots and is going to focus on his managerial duties. Looking at their record I can agree that it’s a smart move. It wasn’t like they were competing for titles anyway.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Even though Tran still thinks he’s got what it takes to be a singles star, he needs to step aside and focus on these young superstars. As much as I hate to say it, he does have the knowledge to manage these kids. He’s been through it all over the years both here in the Empire and abroad. Maybe he’s right. Maybe he can mold Courtney into a future superstar.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are about to find out the answer to that very question as Courtney Cox takes on newcomer Zelda Edge!!! Harvey, take it away partner!!!
Zelda Edge vs Courtney Cox
“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 being accompanied by Tony Tran, she weighs in at 110 lbs, this is... Courtney Cox!!!
[ The fans cheer Courtney Cox on as “Make me smile” by Louise Dowd & Jason Tarver rocks the arena and she makes her way down to the ring with a serious look on her face. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a pair these two make Caristico as Tony Tran has taken Courtney under his wing to mentor her. The last time we saw these two together they were on the losing end of the stick when they lost their match at Climax to Mitch Fierce and Aoife Valkyrie.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I wish someone would try and talk some sense into her. It’s like I am in some theater watching “Revenge of the Sith” all over again seeing Anakin being seduced to the dak side of the force by Emperor Palpatine.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponents. Making her way to the ring from Scottsdale, Arizona; weighing in at 120 lbs, Z.O.E.!!!
[ “I want to conquer the world” by Bad Religion starts up and out comes Z.O.E and does an Arabesque. She turns and runs to the ring and slides in. She gets up and does a pirouette on pointe to the center of the ring and holds the position. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, after Blackout it was announced that along with Matthew Kirk, Zelda Edge would also be joining the Empire family. Zelda comes from an incredible lineage in the Edge family.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Zelda has a very good background in wrestling, traveling abroad under the guise of the Shadow Moth. Tonight, she puts her mask aside and walks out here as part of Tank’s ever-growing legacy. Tank has to be a very proud man knowing what he has done to keep this great sport alive.
[The referee calls for the bell as Z.O.E. and Courtney circle each other around the ring before eventually locking horns in the center of the ring as the two Women have a contest of strength; one that Z.O.E. seems to easily establish control before pushing Courtney away. Courtney is not one to easily give up and immediately locks up with Z.O.E. once again, this time it is Courtney who takes control and pushes Z.O.E. away. Z.O.E. doesn’t go far, as she rushes back towards Courtney and delivers a stiff kick to her gut before grabbing her by the top of the neck and slamming her face-first into the canvas with a vicious faceplant. Z.O.E. begins to show her aggressive side as she grabs the neck of Courtney once again, repeatedly slamming her face into the canvas, each impact sending an echo across the arena. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – We don’t know a hell of a lot about Zelda Edge, but if she’s anything like Tank; she’s got a temper that you don’t wanna mess with.
[ After slamming Courtney’s face into the mat, Z.O.E. gets to her feet and lets out a primal scream. Courtney climbs back to her feet and rubs a hand across her face, wiping away a spot of blood that has appeared on her forehead. From the ringside area, Tony Tran barks out instructions for Courtney and she nods her head approving. The two women then have a stare down across the ring from each other before charging at one another and trading lefts and rights where they stand; neither woman seems to be at an advantage and neither seems to be relenting. Courtney takes control of the situation by ducking a high kick from Z.O.E. and pulling on the back of her hair and slamming her down to the canvas; much to the chagrin of the referee who admonishes her for using the hair. Ringside, Tony Tran claps and cheers her on. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Look at the smug Tony Tran at ringside cheering Courtney on for doing that. Is that what Courtney really needs right now is a sniveling little prick like Tony Tran teaching her this shit?
[ Courtney mounts Z.O.E. and begins to hail down lefts and rights over the back of her head and the referee begins his count, …1 …2 …3 …4 …and the he is forced to pull Courtney away from Z.O.E. who is unable to protect herself. The punches only seem to have angered Z.O.E. who quickly pulls herself back to her feet, before rushing Courtney and tackling her into one of the corners. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This wrestling match has broken down into something that resembles more of a barroom brawl if you ask me. If this keeps up, I can see the referee tossing both women out.
[ Z.O.E. nails Courtney with repeated shoulder blocks, and Courtney has no choice but to absorb the punishment But Z.O.E. isn’t finished yet as she lifts Courtney up and places her on the top turnbuckle, before grabbing her left leg and sweeping it out from under her, sending Courtney crashing down, back-first, onto the mat! Z.O.E. screams at Courtney before climbing to the second rope and leaping into the air and nailing Courtney with a second rope leg drop! Z.O.E. quickly drops an arm over Courtney for the cover as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Courtney kicks out with authority as Z.O.E. seems shocked that it wasn’t over!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - Z.O.E. is starting to quicken the pace as she can sense Courtney is starting to lose some steam here which might leave an opening for a pin-fall victory.
[ Z.O.E. seems perplexed that Courtney managed to kick out of that, so she drags Courtney to her feet, but Z.O.E. seems to take a second too long to decide which move to do next, and Courtney manages to push Z.O.E. away and when Z.O.E. turns around, Courtney flattens her with a leaping clothesline! Courtney knows that this is not enough to put away Z.O.E., so she grabs the hair of Z.O.E., forcing her back to her feet, before planting her back down to the floor once again with a devastating DDT! Courtney wants to end this match now, so she hooks the legs of Z.O.E. and goes for the pin as the referee drops down for the count …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Z.O.E. kicks out]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a nasty DDT that saw Z.O.E. get spiked right on the crown of her head. If her hair wasn’t already red, you might see glimpses of blood.
[ Courtney seems frustrated at not being able to put Z.O.E. away, so she uses the ropes to pull herself back up where she begins to stalk Z.O.E., waiting for her to get to her feet. The moment that Z.O.E. stands up, Courtney charges at her and knocks her down with a running single leg dropkick. Z.O.E. is almost immediately back on her feet only to be knocked down once again with another dropkick! But the third time Courtney isn’t so lucky and Z.O.E. manages to block the move, before running at the ropes and on the rebound nailing Courtney with a quick swinging neckbreaker! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Courtney went to the well one too many times and Z.O.E. drew her right in to that swinging neckbreaker!!!
[ Z.O.E. grabs Courtney and pulls her back to her feet looking to put her away with the Farores Wind (Fisherman’s Pinning Suplex), but at the last possible moment Tony Tran leaps onto the ring apron and starts screaming at the referee who rushes over and tells him to get the hell down!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Z.O.E. was about to end this thing when that snake Tony Tran stuck his nose in the match again!!! ]
[ Z.O.E. rushes at Tony Tran and takes a wild swing and Tony drops down to the floor laughing at her. When she turns around, Courtney kicks Z.O.E. in the gut and drives her face down into the mat with a side double-underhook DDT!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Not this way!!! That cheating bastard Tony Tran is going to help Courtney steal a win from Z.O.E. tonight!!!
[ Courtney turns Z.O.E. over and hooks both of her legs as the referee counts …1 …2 …but Z.O.E. reverses it into a rear naked choke pin of her own as the referee counts again …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Z.O.E.!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a win by Zelda!!! She looks as stunned as we do right now!!!
[ The referee raises Zelda’s arm in victory, when from behind Courtney explodes at her and nails her from behind with a diving forearm smash to the back of the neck!!! Tony climbs into the ring barking orders at Courtney and she listens as she locks on the Sweet Dreams (Cobra Clutch) thrashing Zelda about trying to make her pass out. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Zelda needs some help out here!!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet as and “The Final Sacrifice” by Ivan Bertolla explodes across the arena and Aoife Valkyrie, Godzilla, Maverick and Mitch Fierce rush down to the ring and dive in. Tony and Courtney laugh their asses off as Godzilla tends to Zelda and Aoife watches as her former best friend laughs at them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Caristico, this is not the Courtney Cox that we knew so well when the Empire reopened. That sweet young girl has disappeared and this version is what we are left with and honestly, I hate it.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That sweet young girl has been twisted into this perverted version of herself. Someone needs to talk some sense into her and show her the errors of her ways. That she doesn’t need to go down this path to be a winner.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I think what she lacks is patience right now. She wants immediate results and doesn’t want to do the hard work to earn it. It’s like most kids these days that want immediate results with little to no work to get it. Folks, as we try and get some control in the ring; let’s head to the back as the Lynch Mob have something on their minds after listening to Tony Tran’s rant.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows a very irritated Joey and Matt Lynch pacing back and forth like wild dogs while Mance Warner is seen pounding down a Budweiser in the background. ]
Joey Lynch – Tony Tran, you just haven’t learned your fucking lesson; have you? You have always fucking sucked as a wrestler and you suck even more as a manager. All you’ve done for the Golden BoyZ is taken them down a rabbit hole of loss after fucking loss. The Golden BoyZ were once one of the top tag teams in the Empire until you sunk your claws into them. Now look at them. They aren’t even a five-hundred team right now. Great job, manager of the year.
Matt Lynch – Golden BoyZ, you pathetic pieces of shit. You crawled into bed with that worthless worm Tony Tran thinking that he was going to take you to the promised land, but all he’s done is destroy your careers. How the mighty have fallen BoyZ. From top contender to bottom feeders.
Joey Lynch – BoyZ, let’s just spell it out for you. You’re nothen more than a steppin’ stone to what we have been fighting for over a year now and that’s the World Tag Team titles. Zealot’s, congratulations on becoming World Champions. But don’t turn your backs on us because we’re coming for you. We’re coming for those straps and we’re coming for blood.
[ The Lynch Mob storm off as the camera cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Strong words by Joey and Matt tonight as they head into this match that has great importance for both teams as they jockey for position within the division.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Lynch Mob are not known to mince words. They are a more of, walk right up to you and smack you in the mouth and dare you to hit you back. Tonight, we are going to see just how far they can push the Golden BoyZ before they push back.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This match has pay per view written all over it. The winner will move into title contention while the loser takes another step back. Neither can afford to lose tonight as the tag team division gets even more crowded with the addition of the Anarchy Suicide Squad.
The Golden BoyZ vs The Lynch Mob
“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 Mance Warner, they weigh in at a combined weight of 433 lbs.; Joey and Matt Lynch; they are… the Lynch Mob!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage followed by Mance. The Lynch Mob make their way down to the ring and climb in each taking a corner and screaming at the crowd getting them pumped up as Mance makes his way around the ring taking his spot near their corner. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here are the Lynch Mob. These southern brawlers have a nine and eight record and right now they tank third in the tag team division right behind the New Regime and the Guerillas of Destiny in that order as they all look up at the new champions the Zealots.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Like you said, the tag team division is getting much more crowded with the addition of the Anarchy Suicide Squad and the Forgotten with all guns pointed at the Zealots!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents!!! Making their way to the ring being accompanied by their manager “The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran, they weigh in at a combined weight of 393 lbs., Jake and Dave Anderson; they are… The Golden BoyZ!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as the two brothers strut out on stage and make their way down to the ring with Tony Tran dressed in a suit and sunglasses close behind them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here are the Tony Tran led Golden BoyZ as they refocus their efforts to get back into the title hunt, but first they have to get past the Lynch Mob who are firmly standing in their way tonight.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Lynch Mob wasn’t wrong when they said that the Golden BoyZ were at the top of their game back when the Empire reopened. Now they are looked as a laughing stock within the division under Tran. They are all hoping that with Tran stepping away from wrestling they can re-energize their efforts and regain what they once had.
[ Dave and Joey start the match off as the referee calls for the bell and both men circle each other. Dave Anderson tries for a belly-to-belly suplex, but Joey Lynch counters it with an ear clap that stuns Dave. Joey Lynch attempts a guillotine choke, but Dave Anderson blocks it. Jake Anderson enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Jake Anderson drives a clothesline into Joey Lynch. Dave Anderson uses a backslide pin attempt on Joey Lynch as Dave uses the ropes for leverage and Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...and the referee sees he’s holding the ropes and stops the count!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Dave Anderson tried to use some pretty sneaky tactics right there as he reached out and grabbed the middle rope for leverage, but the referee saw what he was doing and broke the count.
[ Jake Anderson climbs out of the ring. Dave Anderson drives a back elbow into Joey Lynch. Dave Anderson whips Joey Lynch into the ropes and hits Joey Lynch with a clothesline.

Joey Lynch goes for a Death Valley Driver, but Jake Anderson counters it with a huricanrana pin attempt as Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...and the referee just realized that Matt Lynch is the legal man and stops the count!!! ]

Matt Lynch locks Jake Anderson in a sleeperhold and he is struggling to reach the ropes before finally reaching out and just getting his fingertips on the top rope enough to call for the break. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The referee was very lenient with that break allowing just the tip of his fingers to touch the rope. Most referees would require the person to get his entire hand around the ropes.
[ Matt Lynch runs into the ropes and Jake Anderson tries for a clothesline, but Matt Lynch counters it with a Gorilla Press Slam. Matt Lynch rolls Jake Anderson up as Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...and Jake kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Jake’s been in there for a while now and things are not going very good for him. He may want to look to tag out to his brother.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, the Golden BoyZ!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tony Tran is beside himself right now as his BoyZ just defeated the Lynch Mob after a grueling match. I still wonder if Matt Lynch would have been able to stop that pin attempt if Tran didn’t grab his leg, but we will never know.
[ Tran is soaking the victory in as he celebrates in the middle of the ring like they just won the Super Bowl when suddenly, “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena and the former World Tag Team Champions the New Regime storm out on stage!!! ]

[ The two former champions climb into the ring and demand a mic as the Golden BoyZ back off to a neutral corner with Tony Tran just glaring at them pissed that they stole their spotlight. Shogun points right at the Golden BoyZ and Tran. ]
Shinigami Shogun – You three bitches don’t even think about making a move.
Rasputin Ito – Zealots. Blackout. You two got real damn lucky. In fact, it took that drink ass bitch Prophet to hit my boy Shogun here with that dumb ass book of yours to beat us.
Shinigami Shogun – Don’t think for a second that I haven’t forgotten what you did. You see “Champs”, before our boss got his clocked cleaned earlier tonight; we visited him in his suite and we asked for our rematch.
Rasputin Ito – That’s right. And we aint waiten’ for Last Rites. We’re doing this right here next week on Adrenaline.
[ Tran chuckles as he tells his Golden BoyZ to stay back as he approaches Shogun and Ito. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Excuse me, but who in the hell do you two think you are? You lost your titles. You lost your opportunity to challenge for them again. Didn’t you just see what we did to the Lynch Mob? Do you even know who we are?
Shinigami Shogun – Mid-card chumps!!!
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Very funny. Very funny. No, wrong answer. These are the Golden BoyZ and they are the new measuring sticks in the tag team division so do yourselves a favor and get your asses to the... gawk!!!
[ And before Tran can finish his statement, Ito snatches out and grasps Tran by the throat choking him!!! The Golden BoyZ explode into action as all four men start exchanging punches, kicks and chops!!! Suddenly, the World Tag Team Champions the Zealots hit the ring and attack the New Regime from behind clubbing them with their World title belts. Both men are down and out as the Golden BoyZ collect Tran and head back up the ramp. The Zealots stand over a busted up New Regime holding their title belts high in the air. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – After all that it’s Insanity and Painkiller that stand supreme over both the Golden BoyZ and the New Regime. Now I can’t wait until next week to see this massive rematch!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The New Regime have a great point. If it wasn’t for Prophet where he attacked Shogun with that book, the New Regime may very well be the World Champions still. The New Regime better have a plan to neutralize Prophet next week because you know as well as I do, he will be ringside.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, a little while ago we watched as Tito Escobar returned to the Empire and announced that he will be taking on his step-brother Felix as Last Rites where if Felix loses then he will vacate his roster spot back to Tito. Our cameras caught up with the Cartel shortly after. Let’s listen in and hear what transpired.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Felix Escobar and the rest of the Cartel backstage and Felix does not look very happy. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – He’s not supposed to be here!!! He lost his match and he was banished from the Empire. He’s like some damn cockroach!!!
Pedro Supremo – Everything is going to be fine boss. You got this. He’s not even in your league. You’ve beaten him countless times back in Mexico. There’s now ay he can beat you now. He’s been out of action for four months!!!
Mil Muertes – Besides, we got your back. He doesn’t stand a chance against the combined force of the entire Cartel!!!
[ Felix likes the sound of that, and he starts to calm down a bit. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – You’re right. You’re absolutely right. I have nothing to fear from him. He’s an outcast. A man without a family. He’s nothing to me or my father.
[ And he turns toward Holidead with evil in his eyes. ]
“The Raven” Felix Escobar – I want you to go out there tonight and I just don’t want you to win that match, but I want you to maim that little bird. Aoife Valkyrie must pay for the actions of her lover. It’s time we sent a message to Mitch Fierce that the Cartel never forgets those that screw them over!!!
[ Holidead smiles and nods her head in agreement as they walk out of the room. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Is it me or does Felix seem a bit rattled by the return of Tito Escobar tonight?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Rattled is a great choice of words partner. Felix nearly shit his pants when Tito’s music hit and he marched himself right down to the ring showing little to no fear at all. Either Tito has balls as big as bowling balls or he’s mentally challenged to do that.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t decide who I want to see win that match at the pay per view. The devil we all know, or the devil we all hate right now. Folks, it’s time for the women of the Empire to take center stage as Aoife Valkyrie takes on Holidead. Let’s go back to the ring as our good friend Harvey Weinstein is ready for the introductions.
Aoife Valkyrie vs Holidead
“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, being accompanied by Felix Escobar; she weighs in at 188 lbs., this is… Holidead!!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos as “Little Miss Scare-All" by Type O Negative explodes through the arena and as Holidead walks out from the back with a well-dressed Felix Escobar right behind her. Together, they walk down to the ring and she climbs in. Holidead drops to her knees and raises her arms in the air with a smile on her face!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s been a while since we have seen Holidead inside an Empire ring after suffering a knee injury that had sidelined her. Tonight, she makes her return to the ring with a three and seven record and is currently ranked fourth in the Women’s National rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have had the opportunity to watch Holidead wrestle for a while now and she is the kind of woman that can rip off a dozen wins and get right back to the top of the ladder. Even though Aoife is ranked higher, let’s not count Holidead out yet.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent!! Making her way to the ring being accompanied by Mitch Fierce, she weighs in at 130lbs, this is... Aoife Valkyrie!!!
[ The crowd pops as “The Final Sacrifice” by Ivan Bertolla explodes across the arena and Aoife Valkyrie walks out onstage hand in hand with Mitch Fierce. Together they make their way down to the ring and climb in. Aoife sits on the middle rope crossing her legs with a smile on her face as Mitch shakes the top rope menacingly. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Aoife has been a changed woman since joining up with Mitch Fierce. She seems to have come out of her shell, even scoring a big win at Climax over her once best friend Courtney Cox and her mentor Tony Tran.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Aoife has made her intentions pretty clear. She wants to make 2022 the year of the Valkyrie and with her newfound attitude she wants to win gold. With that being said, she comes into tonight’s match-up against Holidead with a two and three record and she holds onto the number two spot to Shanna’s National title. A win tonight will go a long way to setting up an eventual title match.
[ As the bell sounds, the two women meet in the center of the ring. Holidead is considerably much more powerful, but Aoife doesn’t back down for an instant. Holidead seems almost amused by Aoife, snickering as she watches Aoife size her up. Holidead is actually smaller than Aoife height wise, but Holidead has a good twenty pounds or so in weight and certainly has much more muscle mass. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - You can see Aoife has no fear right now as she stares Holidead right in the eyes. That’s is a trait that she has learned from Mitch over the past few months. She’s got the heart of a lion!!!
[ Aoife shoves Holidead, showing she’s not scared. Holidead seems irritated, but the two women seem to be playing with one another’s ego right now. Aoife lunges forward for a tie-up and Holidead looks like she’s going to oblige, but right as Aoife gets close enough to tie up; Holidead grabs her by the face and pie-faces her down to the mat. Aoife lands on her ass but hops up immediately; her face a fiery red!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You can see she’s pretty pissed off right now as her Irish blood is seething.
[ Ringside, Mitch Fierce yells at Aoife to stay calm and not let Holidead get in her head. Aoife lunges for a tie-up and again Holidead grabs her by the face and pie-faces her back to the mat. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That’s twice now Holidead has added insult to injury by slapping Aoife down to the mat. At some point Aoife is going to pop off and then we are going to see this little Irish spit-fire kick some ass.
[ Holidead is just toying with Aoife and she hates it. Aoife gets up again as Mitch Fierce leans through the ropes giving her some instructions. Holidead signals for a tie-up and Aoife lunges forward and this time Holidead locks up with her only to headbutt Aoife. Aoife drops to the canvas in a daze, getting her bell rung; and Holidead hops on top of her as the referee counts …1 …2 …and Aoife shoots her shoulder up!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Holidead knows that she has more ring experience than Aoife does, and right now she is just toying with Aoife. It’s like a cat playing with its food before it devours it.
[ Holidead is all smiles, taunting the crowd as if it’s over. Aoife sees the opening and grabs Holidead’s wrist. Aoife turns it and has Holidead trapped in a wristlock. Aoife gets behind Holidead and tries to keep it locked on, but Holidead sends a back elbow into the face of Aoife she releases the hold. Holidead grabs Aoife and whips her to the ropes, but Aoife is faster than she expected, and Aoife springboards into the air and drives a pair of boots right into the chest of Holidead that sends her crashing down to the mat. Holidead gets right back up, but Aoife is there and uppercuts her with a balled-up fist that stuns Holidead. Aoife wastes no time and runs Holidead over with a clothesline and then yanks her up by the hair and knees her in the gut followed by a sunset flip pinning combination as the referee counts …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Holidead barely kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The arena is going nuts right now as Aoife is ripping into Holidead. That sunset flip nearly got her the win she is desperately looking for.
[ Holidead gets up and Aoife goes right at her, but this time Holidead punches Aoife in the mouth with a blatant closed fist. Aoife checks her mouth and sees blood on her fingers as her lip is split. From under the bottom rope, Felix Escobar reaches in and grabs Aoife by the boots distracting her. Aoife spins around and kicks toward Felix who puts his arms up like he did nothing and backs away from the ropes as the referee saw nothing. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Are you kidding me? That guy is guilty as sin!!!
[ Holidead takes advantage of the momentary distraction to rake her nails across Aoife’s back!!! Aoife swings wildly, but Holidead ducks and chop blocks Aoife in the knee. With Aoife hunched over in pain, Holidead grabs her head and hits a perfect vertical suplex. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I’ve got a bad feeling about this right now.
[ Holidead gets up to her feet and drops a leg across the throat of Aoife. Holidead stays in that position using her leg drop into a pining combination as the referee is down for the count …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Aoife kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – There’s still life left in Aoife and Mitch knows it as he is pounding on the ring apron trying to get her fired up.
[ Aoife is stunned as she tries figure out where she is, and she swears she can hear the entire crowd booing her, when it’s actually Holidead. Aoife’s able to look up just long enough to see Holidead standing over her, mocking a yawn and stretch, like she is bored. The next thing Aoife knows she’s being hauled up by her hair and forced to stand. She feels herself being lifted off the mat and into the air. The crowd boos as Holidead goes for the Darkness Falls (Angels Wings), but Aoife twists and counters with a Backslide Crucifix pin attempt as the referee dives over to make the count …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Aoife Valkyrie!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead along with the rest of the arena look stunned right now as Aoife Valkyrie just pulled off the upset of the night with that backslide crucifix pin!!!
[ Felix climbs into the ring as Holidead sits on the mat in stunned disbelief. He watches as Aoife rolls out of the ring and rushes over to Mitch who is laughing at Felix and takes her hand and walks her back up the ramp. The reach the top of the landing and he raises her arm in the air and the sold-out crowd gives her a standing ovation!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s two losses tonight that the Cartel suffered and you can rest assured that at some point tonight Felix’s father will be calling to express his displeasure with the group.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we need to break away right now because we are hearing that there has been an attack on the Guerillas of Destiny backstage. Let’s look and listen in and see what just transpired.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows the Guerillas of Destiny sprawled out on the cement floor moaning in pain. Travis Blake walks onto the scene and crouches down between them. The legs of two other men can be seen behind Travis, but you cannot see their faces. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Boys, boys, boys; not to overstate the obvious, but you all looked pretty fucked up. Now normally I love a good gift. Hell with Valentine’s Day coming I have been banging my head over what to get Amber. She loves expensive jewelry and hey...
[ Travis looks down and sees the expensive watches on each of the Guerillas wrists. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – I see that you both love expensive jewelry too. Unfortunately, boys, not at my expense.
[ And Travis yanks each watch off their wrists and hands it to the two men behind him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Consider this payment in full gentlemen. Welcome to the Club.
[ Travis then looks down at Tanga Loa and Tama Tonga. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – It pains me to say this, but neither one of you lived up to the hype. Consider this your termination papers. The Bullet Club no longer needs your services!!!
[ Travis turns back to the two unknown men. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Let’s get out of here. I got a tournament to win.
[ Travis and the two men walk off as EMT’s rush over to tend to the Guerillas. The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Did I just see what I think I just saw? Did Travis Blake just fire the Guerillas of Destiny?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I guess he was pretty upset when they took that bribe from the Mean Girls back at Blackout that cost him a chance at beating Godzilla. I mean, we will never really know if they would have made any difference; but it might have.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – All I can say is wow. We just witnessed the Bullet Club self-destructing right before our very eyes tonight. Where do they go from here is the big question and who are these two mystery men that Travis just brought on board to take the Guerillas out? Folks, if things couldn’t get any crazier, our next match is a first-round match in the Emperor’s Crown Tournament and it pits the man we just saw, Travis Blake taking on the leader of the Anarchy Suicide Squad Psycho Messiah. This one should be good. Let’s head back to the ring for the introductions.
In a First Round Emperors Crown Tournament Match
Travis Blake vs Psycho Messiah
“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 Emperor’s Crown 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 thirteen and seven record and is coming off a very good tag team victory over the Forgotten at Blackout where he teamed with Chandler Hopkins.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – With the unforeseen departure of Massive Mike from the Empire, Psycho Messiah moved up in the rankings and now finds himself at number six. That’s a two-spot jump for a man that was looking at the number eight seed and a possible match-up with Mitch Fierce in the first round. What a huge bullet he just dodged.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Paul Heyman, he weighs in at 175 lbs, and is "The Face of the Empire”, this is… Travis Blake!!!
[ The crowd boos as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as Travis walks out on stage as 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 – What a crazy night for Travis Blake. First the Mean Girls get fired from the Bullet Club. Then we watch as he superkicks the owner of the Empire. And just moments ago, the Guerrillas were laid out backstage in what appears to be a premeditated attack by Travis and two unknown assailants.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis is making a statement. You cross him and there will be hell to pay. The Guerillas and the Mean Girls crossed the line and tonight they paid the price.
[ The bell sounds as Travis and Psycho Messiah prepare to lock horns only for Psycho Messiah to suddenly strike out with a kick to the gut, taking Travis by surprise! Psycho Messiah gets right in Travis’s face, taunting him and then charging off into the ropes only to run right back into a dropkick by Travis!! Both men scramble back to their feet, with Travis pummeling Psycho Messiah with a series of stiff rights that back him into the corner, where he then goes for an Irish whip into the turnbuckles, but Psycho Messiah reverses it and sends Travis into the turnbuckles, and then charges in after Travis only to have Travis twist and slip his body between the ropes, sitting there on the middle one as Psycho Messiah crashes against the corner, and then receives a pair of boots to the face as Travis seesaws backwards! Psycho Messiah stumbles away as Travis re-positions himself back in the ring and then hops up onto the middle rope, until Psycho Messiah turns back around and Travis dives off connecting with a European uppercut right to the jaw! Psycho Messiah goes down in a heap as Travis goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Messiah manages to kick out!!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Man, Travis is on fire tonight. After he got screwed by his own teammates back at Blackout, he’s really intensified his game.
[ Travis drags Psycho Messiah back up by a handful of hair and he hooks him up from behind for what looks to be a Scorpion Death Drop, but Psycho Messiah battles back, twisting his body back around and drives Travis into the corner shoulder first!!! Travis lunges at Psycho Messiah going for a clothesline only to have Psycho Messiah duck it and grab Travis with a waist lock, pushing him right into the ropes and then rolling him over backwards with an O’Connor roll, for the pin as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Travis powers out!!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Wow, Travis really dodged a bullet right there with that desperation move by Psycho Messiah. Travis got caught off-guard and it nearly cost him the match.
[ Both men get back to their feet, but it’s Psycho Messiah who lashes out first this time, landing a stiff kick to the gut that doubles Travis over before dropping him with a DDT!! Psycho Messiah again goes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Travis drops his leg across the bottom rope!!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – If Psycho Messiah can find a way to hit the Dead at Dawn it might be lights out for Travis at this point.
[ Psycho Messiah pulls Travis upright and applies a headlock, wrenching it on tight and trying to wear Travis down but Travis battles back to a vertical base as he fires off a couple of elbows to the ribs, weakening Psycho Messiah’s grip and then charges off into the rope, but Psycho Messiah cuts Travis off with a well-timed knee to the gut that sends Travis spiraling over and onto his back!!! Psycho Messiah then heads over to the corner and climbs to the top turnbuckle as he taunts Travis to get back to his feet, waiting for the right moment to dive into the air and go for a missile dropkick but yet Travis is somehow able to catch him by the legs in mid-air, causing Psycho Messiah to slam back hard onto the canvas. Travis then twists Psycho Messiah over right into a Texas Cloverleaf!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis is going for the kill shot right now trying to get Messiah to tap out.
[ The crowd goes wild as the referee gets right in there to ask Psycho Messiah if he wants to give it up but Psycho Messiah refuses to do so, instead battling and clawing his way across the ring, edging closer and closer and finally grabbing the bottom rope to force the break! Travis does so, allowing Psycho Messiah to get back up, and as Psycho Messiah tries to fight off the pain; he then lunges towards Travis only to have Travis duck the attempted attack and hook him up from behind once again, this time driving Psycho Messiah down with the diving reverse DDT!! Travis crouches in the corner, waiting for Messiah to get back to his feet and he does so; Travis explodes at him taking Messiah out with the Weapon X (the Last Shot)!!! Psycho Messiah is out cold as Travis covers him for the …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Travis Blake!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a demonstration tonight by Travis Blake easily dispatching Psycho Messiah on his way to the second round of the Emperor’s Crown Tournament.
[ Travis climbs out of the ring, not even waiting for the referee to raise his hand in victory. He marches right over to the cameraman and yells into it. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Let that be an example to all of you as to why I am called “The Face of the Empire”!!!
[ As he starts ripping off his taped-up wrists and hands, he stops and watches as the Forgotten rush the ring and surround Psycho Messiah. Jake Owens on one side of the ring, Aric Cannon on another, Marc Fulton with an evil smile to one side and finally Steve Scott taking the last remaining side of the ring. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This doesn’t look good one bit for Psycho Messiah!!! The numbers game alone is not in his favor. Maybe if it was one on one, but this is all out, gang warfare right now.
[ Travis stops, thinks about helping for a second; and then shakes his head and walks back up the ramp. The four men on the ring apron slowly climb into the ring as Psycho Messiah slowly turns like a top in the middle of the ring ready for one of them to pounce. Suddenly, the crowd pops as “Gasoline” by I Prevail rocks the arena and the Anarchy Suicide Squad rush down to the ring! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hang tight Messiah, help is on the way!!!
[ Luther, Osiris and Seth dive into the ring and it turns into a full-on four on four brawl!!! It goes on for a few minutes before security and referee’s flood the ring trying to break them apart. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, why we try and restore some order out here, let’s go to the back where our very own Maxwell Shaw is standing by with Chandler Hopkins.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Chandler Hopkins alongside Maxwell Shaw. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Chandler, let’s go back to the night of December 13th, 2021. That night will always be remembered for not you losing to Mitch Fierce, but as the night that Mitch Fierce chose to beat you instead of saving Aoife from Jake Owens. How does that make you feel?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Honestly, at the time I think he made a shitty decision. Aoife deserved better than that. But I know what inside that man and he’s driven to be the best no matter what. He was put in a position that no matter what direction he chose to go in, he would have been criticized for it.
Maxwell Shaw – I am sure that you replayed that match a dozen times over in your head. In some people’s minds, you nearly wrestled the perfect match against him having him on the ropes numerous times. Looking back, what would you change about that match?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I think the biggest mistake I made was when I attacked him from behind. The guy was all amped up from what Tran and Owens did to Aoife and before I knew it, it was over in a blink of an eye.
Maxwell Shaw – How do you take what you learned in that match and make the necessary adjustments when you face him tonight?
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Adjustments? Have you seen his record lately? The guy’s Tank 2.0 for Christ sakes. I think I just need to wrestle a smart match and let him come to me. I have to find a way to ground him and keep him off his base where his power is. If I get caught again like I did then, then it’s going to end the same exact way. I’ve trained too damn hard to let that happen. Mitch, you might be bigger and stronger than me, but I got more heart than you’ll ever have. You’re gonna have to damn well kill me tonight to move on in this tournament because I am prepared to do the same to you!!!
Maxwell Shaw – Chandler, best of luck tonight. Guys, back to you.
[ The show swings back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hopkins is a brave young man, but he’s got some shit luck drawing Mitch Fierce in the first round of the tournament. He better have done his homework because Mitch is an alpha predator that feeds on guys like Hopkins.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I know one thing; you couldn’t pay me enough to climb into that ring with him after what I saw him do to Jake Owens inside that Hell in Cell. There’s two sides to Mitch. The side that Aoife can control, and then there’s the animalistic side that just wants to destroy everything.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our second first round Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up as Mitch Fierce takes on Chandler Hopkins. Once again, here’s Harvey Weinstein with the introductions!!!
In a First Round Emperors Crown Tournament Match
Mitch Fierce vs Chandler Hopkins
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 Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up!! Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Aoife Valkyrie, he weighs 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 the backstage area with Aoife by his side as pyro shoots off behind them. They then makes their way to the ring paying, no attention to the fans as he climbs the ring steps entering the ring and shakes the ropes angrily. Aoife stays on the floor as instructed by the referee holding her hands in their air telling him she won’t get involved. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Mitch comes into this match with a perfect five and oh singles record and is the current number one contender to the World Heavyweight title.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody is favored more to win this tournament than Mitch Fierce is. Don’t get me wrong, there are some pretty damn good wrestlers in this tournament with the likes of Travis Blake and Alexander Stone to name just a couple. But nobody has yet to find a way to stop Mitch and I have a hard time believing that it’ll happen tonight.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 185 lbs.; he is “The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins!!!
[ The Texas Cowboy struts out on stage as “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena. The crowd cheers him as he walks down to the ringside area. He slowly climbs the ring steps and climbs into the ring waving his cowboy hat to the fans. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Chandler Hopkins is putting on a brave face tonight as he stands just feet away from the man that beat him two months ago. Hopkins walks into tonight’s match with a sixteen and thirteen record and is ranked third in the US title rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hopkins is one of the Empire’s work horses as this will mark his thirtieth singles match. Not to make light of him being here tonight, but he drew the lucky straw when both Go-D and Massive Mike withdrew from the tournament for personal reasons landing the number eight seed in the tournament.
[ The bell sounds as Hopkins and Mitch begin to circle one another before finally locking up in the middle of the ring and then tussling back-and-forth for the early advantage! It takes several moments before Mitch is able to force Hopkins back across the ring and into the corner forcing the referee to step in and issue his five count in search of a clean break ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Mitch does just that as he smiles and backs off with hands raised. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It seems that early on Mitch is giving Hopkins the respect that he deserves. Mitch wants this to be a clean fight between them. That’s what the meaning of this tournament is all about. The best of the best going at it to earn a shot at the World Champion.
[ Hopkins quickly grabs Mitch and slams him in the corner, firing off a number of European uppercuts! Hopkins then grabs Mitch by the arm and whips him towards the opposite corner but Mitch is too strong and reverses it, sending Hopkins into the turnbuckles so hard that he then staggers forwards right into a back body drop! Hopkins staggers back up and right into a series of stiff rights to the jaw, and then Mitch whips him off into the ropes and then drives him into the mat with a leaping shoulder tackle!! Mitch goes for the early cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...and Hopkins someway finds a way to kick out!!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hopkins was doing so well, but the sheer strength of Mitch Fierce was just too much for him and from that point on he’s been tossed around like a rag doll.
[ Mitch mounts Hopkins and starts firing off a series of stiff rights to his head before Hopkins counters and rolls Mitch over into a pin attempt of his own ...1 ...2 ...and Mitch powers out with authority!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Excellent counter by Hopkins who was just seconds away from his face being turned into hamburger as Mitch reigned down those massive fists.
[ Both men get right back up to their feet, with Mitch swinging for a clothesline but Hopkins ducks and hits the ropes and comes hurtling back with a flying knee strike that takes Mitch by surprise, sending him sprawling through the ropes and out into ringside floor! Aoife rushes overt to see to Mitch as Hopkins hits the opposite ropes to build up momentum and then charge across the ring in search of a suicide dive but Mitch cuts him off with a massive forearm to the throat as soon as Hopkins’ head comes through the ropes, leaving him dangling there over the middle rope! Mitch quickly climbs up onto the apron and goes for a sunset flip but Hopkins refuses to be taken over as he holds onto the ropes for dear life. Hopkins then drops down on top of Mitch as he tries to apply a Triangle choke!! Mitch is too close to the ropes and he manages to get a hand on them before the hold can really be cinched in, forcing the referee to get Hopkins to break off!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hopkins had Mitch right in his crosshairs but he was too close to the ropes and got a hand on them. That Triangle Choke could have ended it!!!
[ Both Mitch and Hopkins get to their feet and begin circling each other once again, locking up a second time and this time, Hopkins is able to pull Mitch into a side headlock, taking him over onto the canvas and then really wrenching it in! However, it only takes a few moments for Mitch to wrap his legs around Hopkins’ head looking to force the break but Hopkins turns Mitch onto his back and before doing a hand stand while still locked in the head scissors before kipping back out of the hold and driving a knee strike into Mitch! Hopkins follows that up with an attempted forearm strike, but Mitch ducks the shot and then waits for Hopkins to turn back around, catching him with an inverted atomic drop followed by a clothesline off the ropes to drive him to the mat! Mitch then drags Hopkins up and forces him against the ropes, firing off more stiff rights to the jaw and then going for an Irish whip, but Hopkins somehow reverses it and lowers his head for a back body drop, only to have Mitch drive a knee into his head that sends Chandler reeling! Hopkins heads to the corner to try and recover, only to have Mitch then charge in and land a big-time clothesline to crush him against the turnbuckles!!! Mitch drags Hopkins out of the corner and then dumps him on the top turnbuckle! Mitch hooks Hopkins by the head and then dives off and sends Hopkins crashing down with a bulldog off the top rope leaving Hopkins in a heap as Mitch turns him over and makes the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Hopkins only has enough strength to drop his foot across the bottom rope to save himself!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hopkins is giving Mitch all he’s got, but it’s not enough right now as Mitch is just too powerful for him.
[ Mitch grabs Hopkins and drags him back up to his feet as he sets up for the Fierce Bomb (a spinebuster set-up into a fierce Sit-out Powerbomb), but Hopkins is able to flip himself right up and over Mitch, landing behind Mitch and then firing off a series of forearms as he spins around that rock Mitch, allowing Hopkins to go for the Wrangler (Buckshot Lariat), but Mitch cuts him off in mid-swing with a boot to the gut, doubling Hopkins over and Mitch then hits the ropes and comes flying back in search of a clothesline but Hopkins amazingly catches him and counters with a Spanish Fly into a pin attempt as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Mitch kicks out and sits up stunned by that assault!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have no clue where Hopkins pulled that move out of, but he needs to stay on Mitch because he’s got the big man stunned right now.
[ Hopkins grabs Mitch by the head and starts to drag him back up, but Mitch manages to squirm free firing off a couple of elbow strikes to the back of Chandler’s head and then stagger towards the corner! Hopkins shakes off the cobwebs and charges at Mitch going for another Wrangler (Buckshot Lariat), but Mitch is able to catch Hopkins and drive shim into the mat with an F-5!!! Mitch can feel the end is near as he drags Hopkins to his feet and hits the Fierce Bomb (a spinebuster set-up into a fierce Sit-out Powerbomb)!!! Both men collapse to the mat as Mitch slowly crawls over on top of Hopkins and makes the cover ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Mitch Fierce!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a showing by both men tonight. They each brought their “A” game and I don’t think Hopkins could have done any better in his second attempt to defeat Mitch Fierce.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nobody stays undefeated forever and at some point, Mitch Fierce is going to suffer his first loss. That, unfortunately for Hopkins; is not tonight as Mitch now moves on to the second round of the tournament where he will either face Conner Edge, Alexander Stone or Steve Scott; whomever is the lowest seed after next week’s matches.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we are closing in on tonight’s main event; but first our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with tonight’s challenger Prophet. Cindy, it’s all yours.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing next to Prophet who has a very well dressed Salena next to him. ]
Cindy Meyers – Clayton, I may call you that right?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Clayton is fine. Or any of my many other monikers is fine also.
Cindy Meyers – Clayton, last week at the Blackout pay per view; you kidnapped Salena...
[ Prophet raises his hand sin the air and smiles. ]
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Whoa, hold up missy; I never kidnapped anyone. I simply enlisted the aid of this fine young woman to assist me in getting what I desired.
Cindy Meyers – You took her. That’s kidnapping.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You got this all discombobulated and I see what you’re doing. You’re trying to make me out to be some sort of bad guy in all this. I will have you know that I gave this woman three square meals a day, including snacks before bed. She showered twice a day and dressed her in very expensive clothing.
Cindy Meyers – I hear what you’re saying, but it’s still kidnapping.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – If I was a kidnapper would I do this?
[ Prophet smiles at Salena. ]
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You are free to go wherever your heart desires my dear.
[ Salena looks at Prophet, then at Cindy, and finally back at Prophet before she takes off in terror screaming at the top of her lungs thankful to get away from him. Prophet smiles as he watches her run away. ]
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Just look how happy she is. Is that a face of a woman that has been kidnapped? I think not.
Cindy Meyers – Prophet, Clayton; what exactly is going on with you. You were arrested for kicking a dog back in Boston.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Allegedly.
Cindy Meyers – There are witnesses.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – It’s a he said, she said type of case. All circumstantial.
Cindy Meyers – There’s video.
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – It’s dubbed.
Cindy Meyers – Dubbed? Really?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You ever hear of body doubles.
Cindy Meyers – Seriously?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – As a heart attack.
Cindy Meyers – So why Conner? Why the TV title?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Well, he’s big. And he’s dumb. And he’s a cowboy.
Cindy Meyers – That’s why you challenged him to an Extreme Rules match? Because he’s a cowboy? What kind of games are you playing?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – I’m a huge D&D fan. Love me some Orcs and Goblins and shit like that.
[ Cindy rubs her head. ]
Cindy Meyers – Is there anything you want to add to this interview before I end it?
“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Yes, I do. I just want to tell Conner that I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I am about to do to you tonight. I’m sorry that I have to end your TV title reign. I’m sorry that I have to blemish your near perfect record with another loss. I’m sorry Conner that I am going to take the TV title from you. “The Age of the Messiah” begins tonight!!!
Cindy Meyers – Age of the Messiah? I can’t handle this anymore. Guys, back to you.
[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Someone owes me an explanation as to why we continue to interview this guy. He’s so bat-shit crazy it just blows my mind as to why we give him any TV time at all.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I would have to guess it’s because he’s a former World Champion and the front office believes that it’s just head games he’s playing at. He can’t be that crazy, right?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t know. We’ve seen crazy over the years and this guy ranks right up there at the top. Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as Conner Edge puts his TV title on the line against Prophet in an Extreme Rules match!!! Let’s head back to the ring one last time and get this title match underway.
For the TV title in an Extreme Rules Match
Conner Edge © vs Prophet
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following Extreme Rules match is set for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit and it is for the World Wrestling Empire’s Television Championship!!! Making his way to the ring, he weighs 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 TV title around his waist. He lifts his fist in the air before making his way down to the ring and climbs in. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The TV champion has decided to walk down to the ring first tonight, and he’s doing it alone as his mentor Go-D is still recovering from that brutal war that he had just seven nights ago at Blackout. He’s also without his girlfriend slash lover slash whatever she is in Salena who we just saw escaped from the clutches of Prophet.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet wouldn’t say escaped. In his mind he never really held her captive. She was, well; a guest I suppose. Either way, it all comes down to this tonight as they collide in this Extreme Rules match for Conner’s TV title.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 227 lbs., he is “The Chosen One”!!! “The Modern-Day Messiah”!!! This... is… Prophet!!!
[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where Prophet stand with his arms stretched out soaking in what he thinks is adulation. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here comes the former World Heavyweight Champion Prophet. He held that title for one hundred and twenty-five days. An incredible title run that lasted the entire summer.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet was an incredible champion, but like all great champions; they rise and they fall. Prophet’s meteoric rise and reign as champion lasted four months, but what is even more stunning is his catastrophic fall from grace. Tonight, Prophet not only looks to get his career back on track; but he looks to do it by taking the TV title from Conner Edge.
[ Prophet heads down the ramp and eyes up the ladder that is set-up at the bottom of the ramp. Conner wastes no time as he comes charging across the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive! Prophet crashes back into the ladder and they both go down. Conner is pissed as he grabs a Singapore cane and swings it at Prophet’s head, but Prophet ducks the shot and then tackles Conner to the ground, firing off some punches as the crowd goes wild and the referee wastes no time in calling for the bell!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Conner Edge wasted no time tonight as he went right at Prophet and tried to take him out even before this match officially started. This is the type of match that we don’t normally see here in the Empire.
[ Prophet continues to pummel Conner for several moments, before finally getting up off Conner and throwing out his arms and closing his eyes like he’s channeling a greater power! Prophet then turns his attention back towards Conner, who tries crawling away, but Prophet grabs Conner by the hair and stops him in his tracks, but Conner grabs a handful of Prophets trunks and launches Prophet into the steel ring steps!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner needed that move right there to slow the former World Champion down. Maybe he should consider taking this fight into the ring.
[ Prophet is favoring his shoulder as Conner scrambles back to his feet and goes to town on Prophet, kicking repeatedly at the same shoulder that Prophet is favoring! Conner then grabs Prophet by the bad arm and lifts it high into the air, only to slam it down onto the steel ring steps!!! Conner raises Prophet’s arm and he slams it down a second time!!! Prophet is clearly in a lot of pain as Conner pushes past the referee to grab a trash can and then heads back towards Prophet, raising it high above his head but before he can bring it down on Prophet’s skull though, Prophet desperately cuts Conner off with a kick to the gut! Prophet pulls himself up with one arm, firing off some punches with his good arm before grabbing Conner and trying for an Irish whip only for Conner to reverse and pull Prophet back towards him, quickly driving him down onto the unforgiving cement floor with the Iron Claw Slam!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Did you just see that? Conner Edge just drove Prophet straight to Hell with his Iron Claw Slam but the TV Champion isn’t done yet as he searches for more plunder around the ringside area.
[ Conner grabs the trash can as Prophet instinctively tries to drag himself off the floor but Conner smashes it down over Prophet’s head!! Conner tosses the trash can inside the ring as he looks out across the arena with a sadistic expression on his face, before dragging Prophet back up and rolling him into the ring under the bottom rope! Conner then slides in after him, landing some more stomps for good measure before now picking up a steel chain! Conner proceeds to wrap it around Prophet’s throat, sitting on his back with a camel clutch-type move while choking Prophet with the chain and the referee gets right in there to ask Prophet if he wants to give it up!! Prophet can barely breath, let alone answer the question and finally Conner releases the hold screaming... ]
The WWE TV Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge – Not yet!!! I’m going to make you pay!!! You’re going to suffer for what you did to Salena!!!
[ Conner goes over and grabs the trash can again, heading to the corner where he now wedges it in-between the middle and top rope! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner’s got some evil intentions right now as he just wedged that trash can between the ropes and looks back at Prophet like he wants to kill him.
[ Conner has that twisted grin on his face as he drags Prophet up into the corner firing off a number of punches to the head before going for an Irish whip into the trash can, but Prophet just puts on the brakes before crashing into it! Conner is infuriated as Prophet turns around just in time to see Conner charge towards him only for Prophet to leapfrog over Conner sending him crashing into the trash can himself!! Conner staggers out from the corner and right into a discus clothesline from Prophet, putting him down hard!! Prophet fights back to a vertical base, as Conner tries to do the same. Prophet grabs a trash can lid, using his good arm to repeatedly smash Conner across the top of the head with it, finally causing Conner to tumble backwards through the ropes and crash down to the cement floor!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s bad enough that this is an extreme rules match, but to add insult to injury the Empire officials have decided to remove the protective padding around the ring exposing the cement floor underneath.
[ Conner attempts to shake off the cobwebs as he drags himself back up to his feet. Prophet hits the ropes and launches up and over the top rope with a somersault plancha that wipes Conner out!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What an insane move by Prophet that just wiped the TV Champion out!!! Prophet is laying it all on the line tonight to win championship gold!!!
[ Prophet struggles to get back to his feet and as he turns his attention back towards Conner he grabs the Singapore cane, watching and waiting as Conner gets back up and he repeatedly starts slamming the cane onto Conner’s back! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – My God Prophet is laying the wood down onto Conner’s back and you can already see the red welts starting to form and the slight trace of blood starting to trickle down the champions back.
[ Conner cries out in agony and Prophet places the Singapore cane in front of Conner’s throat and hook Conner from behind hitting a cane-assisted White Russian leg sweep into the steel guardrail!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner is one tough son of a bitch, but you have to wonder how many more of these brutal matches he can withstand before he starts to break down. No man can withstand this type of punishment.
[ Prophet tosses the cane aside and tries shaking off the pain in his arm before dragging Conner up to his feet and then rolling him back inside the ring. Prophet picks up another trash can lid as he climbs onto the apron and watches and waits for Conner to get back to his feet! Prophet leaps up to the top rope, looking to springboard towards Conner going for a trash can lid shot to the head only for Conner to unload a fire extinguisher right in Prophet’s face as he flies through the air!! Prophet crashes into the canvas blinded by the fire extinguisher as he struggles back up to his feet and turns right into a extinguisher shot to the head that knocks Prophet down and out!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a shot by Conner Edge right to the head of the former World Champion that has his out cold right now. It doesn’t seem like Conner has the strength to make a pin though.
[ The crowd erupts with boos as Conner collapses against the ropes and rests there for several moments before the sight of Prophet laying on the canvas fires him up. He goes over and grabs the steel chair that had been left in the ring, snapping it shut before proceeding to press the rim of the chair down into Prophet’s throat, choking him once again! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t think that this is about winning or losing this match right now. I really believe that this is about inflicting as much punishment as he possibly can on Prophet.
[ Conner raises the steel chair high above his head, about to nail Prophet with it; only for Conner to look to the side and notice the ladder set up at ringside! Conner lowers the chair and drops it to the mat, before exiting the ring and grabbing the ladder!! Conner slides the ladder in under the bottom rope and he slips inside after it, pulling it up and holding the ladder across his chest as Prophet staggers back to his feet still trying to get his shit together! In that instant, Conner explodes across the ring and clotheslines Prophet right back down again with the ladder!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Conner Edge is meticulously picking the challenger apart right now piece by piece. It appears the champion is done playing games with Prophet.
[ Conner props the ladder up in the corner before going back to Prophet and hitting some more stomps! He then grabs Prophet by the feet and drags him towards the ladder in the corner. Conner stands there with his back to it before falling backwards and catapulting Prophet towards the ladder but Prophet somehow manages to catch himself on the ladder like Spider-Man rather than crash into it. He hangs there for several moments as Conner gets back up and tries charging at him only for Prophet to dive over the top of him and roll back to his feet, as Conner crashes hard into the ladder!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If Conner could have hit that move on Prophet it would have been all over for the former champion, but somehow Prophet was able to land on the ladder and then leap off causing Conner to crash into it instead!!! What an insane turn of events!!!
[ Conner turns around in a daze just in time to see Prophet charge back across the ring, hitting him with a cross body block-like that crushes Conner against the steel ladder but sends Prophet tumbling over the top rope and landing on the apron! Prophet struggles up in the corner as Conner collapses in a heap in front of the ladder. Prophet dives off the corner and brings the ladder down with him smashing it down onto Conner’s head!! The crowd is going wild as Prophet rests for several moments, before finally he’s able to shove the ladder off of Conner and then roll the TV champion onto his back and going for the cover ...1 ...2 ...and Conner forcefully powers out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Believe it not folks, that is the very first pin-fall of the match and Conner is still able to power out even after taking that ladder shot to the head!!!
[ Prophet looks stunned that Conner kicked out only to see a wooden table propped up in the corner. Prophet staggers over towards it and proceeds to take the wooden table down and set it up! Prophet then heads back towards Conner and drags him back to his feet, leading him towards that corner. Prophet climbs up onto the top rope and tries to drag Conner up with him! Conner is standing on the middle rope as Prophet tucks Conner's head between his legs going for a top rope powerbomb, but before he can hit the move; Conner drops down and then drives a low blow uppercut between Prophet’s legs!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Again, Conner just dodged a huge bullet as Prophet was going for that top rope powerbomb onto the wooden table. We were just second’s away from possibly crowning a new TV champion!!!
[ Prophet is in agony as Conner shoves the wooden table aside before climbing up after Prophet and then firing off shots to the head before hooking him up and then powering Prophet into the air with a vicious superplex that leaves both men momentarily down and out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The crowd is going nuts right now as both men are down and out on the mat after such a vicious move that helped neither man!!!
[ Conner struggles back to a vertical base before grabbing the wooden table and wedging it in the corner! Conner brushes his hair out of his face as he heads to the opposite corner of the ring. Prophet appears to be totally oblivious as he gets to his feet, stumbling around just as Conner explodes at him. At the last possible second, Prophet leaps into the air and cuts Conner off with a picture-perfect dropkick from out of nowhere!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Where is Prophet pulling these moves out from right now? I’m having flashbacks of his World title run this past summer.
[ Prophet punches the canvas to try firing himself up, climbing back to his feet as he watches and waits for Conner to do the same. Prophet rushes past Conner and leaps on the middle rope and then back flips up and over, landing behind Conner and hooking him by the head, driving him into the canvas with the End of Days (Scorpion Death Drop)!!! Prophet goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Conner just manages to kick out before the count of three!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What an amazing version of his finisher he just hit Conner with and again the TV champion has found the strength to kick out. What is it going to take to keep this monster down?!
[ Prophet looks down at Conner in shock before pulling him back up and into a standing head scissors, but this time Conner lifts Prophet up and over with a back body drop!!! Both men struggle back to their feet as Conner charges and goes for a spear, but Prophet leap frogs over him and leaps backwards the second Conner turns back around blasting Conner in the head with the Pelé Kick!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a kick right to the rock-hard head of Conner who’s down and out looking up at the lights!!!
[ Prophet crawls towards the corner and begins to climb to the top rope!!! Prophet dives off the corner going for a Swanton, but right at the last second Conner throws a steel chair at him and he crashes to the mat on-top of the chair!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – My God the impact of that chair colliding with Prophet in mid air was sickening as it echoed across the arena.
[ Prophet arches his back in sheer agony, writhing around the ring in pain as Conner staggers back up and quickly drags Prophet back up with him He hooks him by the head and lifts him into the air, spiking Prophet head-first onto the steel chair!!! Blood pours from Prophet’s head as Conner goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Prophet kicks out just beating the count!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet’s face is a mask of red right now as blood pours from that gash on the top of his head!!!
[ Conner grabs the steel chair and slides it beneath Prophet’s head and looks around the ring and then grabs another steel chair. Conner stands up right next to Prophet, raising the steel chair high above his head going for a Con-Chair-To, but somehow Prophet rolls himself out of the way at the last second and the two chairs collide on impact!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Can you just imagine the damage that Conner would have done if he would have connected with that chair shot? If you thought he was mentally unstable right now, just imagine what kind of brain damage he would have suffered if that would have connected.
[ The force of the impact forces Conner to drop the chair as the vibration hurts his hands. Prophet grabs the steel chain as he drags himself upright, folding the chain in half as Conner turns his attention back towards Prophet. Conner charges at him only for Prophet to swing the steel chain and catch Conner directly in the gut doubling him over!! Prophet then begins whipping the steel chain down across Conner’s back, driving him down to the canvas!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Look at Conner’s back. Between those cane shots and that chain lacing his back, it looks like a road map across the United States!!!
[ Prophet stops and rests against the ropes, his arm still clearly bothering him before going for the ladder again, dragging it up and then resting it horizontally across the middle rope in the corner! Prophet then turns back towards Conner, who clutches his back in agony, but he unknowingly walks right into a barrage of stiff rights as Prophet backs him into the corner before Irish whipping him into the ladder-laden corner and then charging after him! Prophet grabs Conner and places him on the top turnbuckle!! Prophet attempts to climb up with him, but Conner responds with some kicks to the face that sends Prophet staggering away! Conner attempts to stand on the top rope, but Prophet scoops up one of the steel chairs and launches it into Conner’s face sending him collapsing onto the top rope and crotching himself!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Ring the bell, Conner won’t be using those for a few days!!! Talk about a desperation move by Prophet to slay the beast. I don’t think that’s what Prophet had in mind, but he will take it.
[ Prophet sets his sights on the wooden table still propped in the corner. He pulls it free and sets it up to where Conner is now straddled across the top rope! Prophet is standing on the ladder to balance before carefully lifting Conner off the top rope and slamming him head-first into the ladder!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Now it’s Conner’s face that is covered with a dark red mask from that impact. The whites of his eyes rolling back in his head as he dangles on that ladder ever precariously!!!
[ Prophet smiles as he wipes Conner’s head with his hand and licks the fresh blood from it like he actually enjoys the taste of it. Prophet sets Conner up and he dives off the ladder as both men crash through the waiting table below with an End of Days (Scorpion Death Drop) that shatters the table into hundreds of pieces!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I cannot believe what we just witnessed. Prophet just sacrificed everything to hit his finisher from the top of that ladder and put the champion through that table!!!
The sold-out crowd - “HOLY SHIT!!!” “HOLY SHIT!!!” “HOLY SHIT!!!”
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My sentiments exactly folks. There are no words to explain what we just saw.
[ The referee climbs through the wreckage to check on both men and neither are moving, both lay just as broken as the table they crashed through. The referee doesn’t waste any time as he throws up the “X” symbol and the ringside doctor rolls into the ring to tend to the wounded men. ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – This match has been deemed a draw!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This match was brutal beyond belief and no matter if you like either man or not, we hope that they will both be alright.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Both men put their bodies and souls on the line tonight for the TV title, but what is most concerning is that right here next week Conner Edge has to come back and face Alexander Stone in a first round Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up. Stone has to be foaming at the mouth right now after watching this match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, next week is going to be an amazing show. Please come back and join us as we travel to Thailand!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a show so far. Two tournament matches and a World Tag Team title match to top it all off. It just gets better and better every week.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Good night, everyone!!!
Epilogue...
[ After the credits roll, we watch as the World Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge climb into a waiting limo and speeds off. From the shadows, “Superfan” Benny Dutton can be seen stepping into the light. He pulls out his cell phone and scrolls through his contacts quickly finding the name he is looking for. ]
“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Patch, it’s me. Yeah, yeah, I know. Listen, I don’t have time to explain; I need you to book me a flight to Thailand. Yeah, Thailand. I know money is tight. If you have to cash in some of my coins I’ve been holding on to. Don’t worry about what my mom would think. My grandpa left them to me. Thanks buddy.
[ Benny hangs his phone up and watches as the Empire buses pull away from the arena. ]
