Live from the sold-out Bell Arena in Denver, Colorado
Thursday Night May 13th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as "British Royalty" Mike Godwinn and “The Living Legend” Pezzer are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s do this Mikey!!! Adrenaline put on one hell of a show Monday night, but I want Afterburn to blow their doors off!!! This do this!!!
Mike Godwinn – And you can all see my partner is all pumped up for tonight’s action as we will see Tito Escobar put his United States Heavyweight title up for grabs against Boris Drago inside a steel cage!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Steel cage matches are brutal enough in themselves, but you toss in any weapons your sick mind can think of and then surround the cage with the likes of the Triad and the Cartel and it’s like sticking dynamite up your cornhole!!!
Mike Godwinn – Uhm, alright; interesting way of analyzing what our great fans are in for tonight. Not sure if I can top that…
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You can’t… so don’t even bother.
Mike Godwinn – Alright, but what I will do is talk about tonight’s other great matches. In tag team action, we will see the newly crowned World Tag Team Champions the Chain Gang take on Los Vipers in a non-title match!!! In women’s tag team action, the newly created team called S.E.X. will be in action for the first time ever taking on the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex in a non-title match!!! In singles action, we will see for the first time; Thunder Rosa taking on Maria Manic!!! Holidead will also be wrestling in singles action as she goes up against the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson in a non-title match!!! And we kick things off with some high-flying luchador action as Caristico takes on Tiger King!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – After last weeks blow-up between Holidead and Thunder Rosa I am interested in seeing how these two women fair in singles competition. We know they were an awesome tag team, but can they be just as good when they don’t have a partner watching their backs?
Mike Godwinn – Let’s get right to the action as Tiger King and Caristico are ready to start things off!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s blow the roof off this bitch!!!
Mike Godwinn – JoJo, take it away darling!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Darling? Don’t be a fucking creeper!!!
Mike Godwinn – I was just… oh never mind!!!
Tiger King vs Caristico
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 188 lbs., this is… Tiger King!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes nuts as “Omae wa Tora ni Nare” by Matsumura Toru explodes from the PA system!! The second-generation superstar that is best known for wrestling in Japan makes his way out and runs down to the ring diving under the bottom rope. He leaps up onto the second turnbuckle and poses for the fans. ]
Mike Godwinn – This young man comes into this match sporting a one and six record. I believe that he is a wealth of untapped potential ready to bust out.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – He better find a way to bust out because if he doesn’t, he’s just going to be called “Bust” and not Tiger King. He’s quickly being tagged as the jobber of the Empire. Tonight, he’s got a huge mountain to climb if he’s going to straighten his career out!!! Caristico isn’t going to be an easy opponent in any sense of the word.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Tone it down? Are you shitting me? Which part should I tone down? The part where I called Lion Cub a little shit, or the part where I said I would shove his mask right up his Mexican ass?
Mike Godwinn – Uhm, yeah; pretty much both parts. And just for the record, Tiger King is from South Africa, not Mexico.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What’s wrong with you? Of-course I know that Tiger Paw is from South Africa!!! I was just testing you.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the back where our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with the Women’s Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing between Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie as they proudly wear their Women’s World Tag Team title belts. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, what a roller coaster few weeks the two of you have experienced. First, back at Eve of Destruction you lost your Women’s World Tag Team titles when Holidead cheated to win. But it was just last week, right here on Afterburn; that Thunder Rosa acknowledged her partner cheated and surrendered the titles back to the two of you.
Charli Evans – That’s right. It has been a hell of a few weeks for the both of us, and we want to shout out to Thunder Rosa to have the guts to do what she did. It takes a very special kind of person to stand right there in the middle of the ring and face your partner and to not only call them out on their actions but also to strip themselves of the title belts that they worked so hard to win.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Millie, let’s switch gears to tonight’s match in which you two are going to face the newest women’s tag team on the circuit in Katie Forbes and Spice aptly named… S.E.X.!!!
Millie McKenzie – Katie Forbes and Spice wanna play in our world? They think they have what it takes to champions? Well, we are going introduce them to the world of wrestling!!!
[ Right in the middle of the interview, Caged Heat led by Salena walks onto the set. Medusa Complex look like they are ready for a fight as Salena smiles at them. ]
Salena – Easy ladies, take it easy. We’re not here to beat your asses. Not just yet, that is. You see, somehow; the powers that be in this place thought it was right to just hand those straps back to the two of you. Now why is that? Why weren’t my girls, Caged Heat; given those titles? I’ll tell you why, it’s because Shane McMahon and Diamond Dallas Page want to hold us down!!! Now we’re going to overlook what Shane did last week on Afterburn where he kissed both your asses. But what we’re not going to overlook is the upcoming Queen of the Ring pay per view. You see, we know that as of right now; your dance card for the pay per view is empty. That there hasn’t been challengers named for those (and she points right at Millie’s and Charli’s World Tag Team title belts)!!! So, let’s just put an end to all the drama and set the match right now. Medusa Complex versus caged Heat for the Women’s World Tag Team….
[ Salena is stunned as she is interrupted by Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews, the Canadian Ninjas; as they too walk onto the set. ]
Portia Perez – Hold on one damn minute Salena. I think that you and your two goons forgot that on Adrenaline it was the two of us that beat you. Look at the rankings!!! It’s the Canadian Ninjas that are the number one contender’s to those tag titles. That title shot at Queen of the Ring belongs to us, not the two of you!!!
Salena – Is that a fact? Let me remind the two of you that the only reason you’re the number one contender is because we let you win last week. We beat both your asses!!! That spot belongs to us!!!
[ The crowd goes nuts as they watch the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walk into the scene smiling. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ladies, we all need to calm down.
Salena – That title shot at Queen of the Ring is ours!!! You need to stop holding us down!!!
Nicole Matthews – Screw you!!! The rankings say that the title shot is ours!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Calm down, all of you. I’ve got a solution to this problem if you would all just shut up.
[ He waits for all seven women to shut the hell up so that he can talk. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Now, I admit that both Caged Heat and the Canadian Ninjas both have legitimate claims to a title shot at the pay per view. So, next week right here on Afterburn we are going to have a Number One Contendership match between Caged Heat and the Canadian Ninjas!!! But it’s not going to be just any ladder match. No, we are going to hand a contract above the ladder. The first team to grab that contract wins the title shot at Queen of the ring against Medusa Complex!!!
[ Shane walks off as all three teams glare at each other ready to fight right now. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge match that Shane just signed for us right here next week on Afterburn!!! It’s going to be a Ladder match between the Canadian Ninjas and Caged Heat where the winners will move on to the Queen of the Ring pay per view to take on Medusa Complex for the Women’s World Tag Team titles!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve known Shane for years and I gotta tell you, working for the Empire is huge for this company as he’s signed big match after big match!!! He’s going to take the Empire to the top of wrestling world just like he did the WWCF!!!
Mike Godwinn – Shane was an amazing owner; and nobody is going to question that. He took the WWCF to heights that very few federations could only dream of. Now, here in the Empire working alongside Mark and DDP; the Empire could very well have the greatest front office in any wrestling organization.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You can stop kissing their asses now and get back to the show.
Mike Godwinn – I wasn’t kissing anybody’s ass. Never mind. Folks, it’s time for our next match of the evening as Holidead takes on the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson in a non-title match!!! JoJo, save me here; and take it away!!!
Holidead vs Shanna Furguson ©
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring first, being accompanied by the United States Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar and Los Vipers and weighing 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 the Cartel marches down to the ring and climb in. Los Vipers mount the corner turnbuckles taunting the sold out crowd as Holidead drops to her knees and raises her arms in the air with a smile on her face and Tito stands behind her showing off his United States Heavyweight title!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Holidead comes to the ring with her new friends in the Cartel right by her side. It’s a damn shame that she turned her back on thunder Rosa like she did. I really think they could have been a tag team to reckon with for years to come!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Holidead turned her back on Thunder Rosa? Some could say just the opposite, that it was Thunder Rosa that turned her back on Holidead when she gave up the Women’s World tag Team titles!!!
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent, making her way to the ring weighing in at 155 lbs., she is the current and reigning Women’s National Champion; she is “The Beast” Shanna Furguson!!!
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays Shanna storms down to the ring, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb with her new Women’s National title around her waist. She dives under the bottom rope and starts to pace around like a mad woman. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, Shanna is coming off a very impressive win over Su Yim back at Eve of Destruction where she nailed a top rope Canadian Destroyer down onto the unforgiving ring steps that led to a count-out win for the champion

[ Tanga slams the mic to the mat as the crowd boos the shit out of the Gold Standard!! ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I fully understand the drive to regain their title belts, but let’s talk about the elephant in the room. What the fuck is going on with Prophet and his insane Prophecy?
Mike Godwinn – He really believes that this prophecy of his foretold of him beating Stone and winning the World title!!! Folks, let’s go to the back as our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shane, first off; congratulations on a greet debut show last week right here on Afterburn!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Thank you Courtney. We were all pleased with how things rolled out and how all the wrestlers performed and I have a lot planned for the weeks and months to come for this show!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I have to ask, what are your thoughts on seeing Go-D on Adrenaline? That had to be a surprise for you?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – For me? No, it was a surprise for all of us. I can tell you that I was sitting in our corporate office with Mark back in Massachusetts and we both nearly shit our pants when Go-D walked through the crowd and right back into the Empire.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – What about his claims that all the wrestlers that were under contract almost twelve years ago when the Empire shut down are still under contract?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Well, our lawyers are still digging into it; but Mark and I would love to have any of the former stars back under the Empires wings, contract or no contract. We both as owners owe them so very much whether they were wrestling for the Empire or the WWCF over the years, they all made our federations what they were.
[ Shane pauses as Tank Edge walks onto the set and just glares at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Tank, what’s up?
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – What game are you playing at?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What are you talking about? I’m not playing any games and you know that!!!
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – What kind of bull-shit is this, and where the hell is Mark? Why hasn’t he shown his face yet to address this?
[ Shane puts his hands up to try and calm Tank down. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Just relax. Mark and I have been talking about this all week and we are ok with what Go-D wants. He wants to be reinstated into the Empire and he wants to be involved in the Civil War Battle Royal and we have agreed to let him do that.
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – So what, you’re going to let whoever wants back in just stroll right back in and take the place over?
[ Shane chuckles at the thought. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Take over? Nobody is trying to take over anything!!! We have contractual obligations Tank. You better than anyone should know that.
[ tank sticks his finger right in Shane’s face. ]
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – If this is some sort of sick fucking trick to try and screw the Empire over, I’m going to crush your ass!!!
[ Tank storms off the set leaving Shane standing there dumbfounded by the accusations made by Tank. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Tank obviously doesn’t trust Shane and he thinks that someway, somehow; he’s involved in this thing going on with Go-D.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that the chance to go after the World Heavyweight title isn’t intriguing as fuck. If he’s got a beef with Go-D, maybe Tank should just toss his hat in the ring too.
Mike Godwinn – That’s a great idea!!! There are twenty spots open!!! Could you imagine both Tank and Go-D facing off in that Battle Royal? Folks, it’s time for our next match as Thunder Rosa wrestles in her first singles match right here in the Empire as she goes head-to-head against Maria Manic!!! It’s going to be the Queen of Lucha Libre taking on the Maneater!!! This should be one hell of a match!! Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin JoJo Rodriguez as this match is just about ready to kick off!!! JoJo, it’s all yours!!!

Mike Godwinn – Ever since being the number one contender and losing her World title match against Amber Nova, her career has been in a freefall and right now she is barely in contention for the Women’s National title!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If Maria is going to set her career back on the right course, she’s going to have to beat Thunder Rosa tonight. Now Thunder Rosa hasn’t wrestled as a singles star in a while, so she just might be rip for the picking.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring weighing in at 119 lbs, this is… Thunder Rosa!!!
[ The sold out crowd explodes to their feet cheering as Thunder Rosa walks down to the ring draped with the Mexican flag over her shoulders. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is Thunder Rosa. It’s unfortunate that the Twisted SisterZ exploded last week and dissolved their team and their friendship. So many years of working together gone to waste.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t look at it as a waste because all those matches all helped each of them be better superstars today. I really think that this match favors Thunder Rosa.

The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – What’s the matter amigo? I’m from Mexico. You didn’t think I was smart enough to put two and two together?
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – The next time that name comes out of your mouth, I’m going to shove all your teeth down your throat!!!
[ Tank storms off leaving Los Vipers and Tito laughing at him. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – I have to ask, but what was that all about? Tito mentioned a name and it set Tank off.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Years ago, after the Empire closed, Tank resumed his wrestling career in Mexico under a mask using the name Kong Arias. I guess it’s part of his past that he would rather leave in the closet.
Mike Godwinn – Remind me not to bring that name up around him then. Folks, it’s time to get to some women’s tag team action as the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex take on the newly formed group named S.E.X.!!! Let’s go back to the ring as this match is about to kick off.

Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s do this Mikey!!! Adrenaline put on one hell of a show Monday night, but I want Afterburn to blow their doors off!!! This do this!!!

First, back at Eve of Destruction you lost your Women’s World Tag Team titles when Holidead cheated to win. But it was just last week, right here on Afterburn; that Thunder Rosa acknowledged her partner cheated and surrendered the titles back to the two of you.
Charli Evans – That’s right. It has been a hell of a few weeks for the both of us, and we want to shout out to Thunder Rosa to have the guts to do what she did. It takes a very special kind of person to stand right there in the middle of the ring and face your partner and to not only call them out on their actions but also to strip themselves of the title belts that they worked so hard to win.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Millie, let’s switch gears to tonight’s match in which you two are going to face the newest women’s tag team on the circuit in Katie Forbes and Spice aptly named… S.E.X.!!!
Millie McKenzie – Katie Forbes and Spice wanna play in our world? They think they have what it takes to champions? Well, we are going introduce them to the world of wrestling!!!
[ Right in the middle of the interview, Caged Heat led by Salena walks onto the set. Medusa Complex look like they are ready for a fight as Salena smiles at them. ]
Salena – Easy ladies, take it easy. We’re not here to beat your asses. Not just yet, that is. You see, somehow; the powers that be in this place thought it was right to just hand those straps back to the two of you. Now why is that? Why weren’t my girls, Caged Heat; given those titles? I’ll tell you why, it’s because Shane McMahon and Diamond Dallas Page want to hold us down!!! Now we’re going to overlook what Shane did last week on Afterburn where he kissed both your asses. But what we’re not going to overlook is the upcoming Queen of the Ring pay per view. You see, we know that as of right now; your dance card for the pay per view is empty. That there hasn’t been challengers named for those (and she points right at Millie’s and Charli’s World Tag Team title belts)!!! So, let’s just put an end to all the drama and set the match right now. Medusa Complex versus caged Heat for the Women’s World Tag Team….
[ Salena is stunned as she is interrupted by Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews, the Canadian Ninjas; as they too walk onto the set. ]
Portia Perez – Hold on one damn minute Salena. I think that you and your two goons forgot that on Adrenaline it was the two of us that beat you. Look at the rankings!!! It’s the Canadian Ninjas that are the number one contender’s to those tag titles. That title shot at Queen of the Ring belongs to us, not the two of you!!!
Salena – Is that a fact? Let me remind the two of you that the only reason you’re the number one contender is because we let you win last week. We beat both your asses!!! That spot belongs to us!!!
[ The crowd goes nuts as they watch the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walk into the scene smiling. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ladies, we all need to calm down.
Salena – That title shot at Queen of the Ring is ours!!! You need to stop holding us down!!!
Nicole Matthews – Screw you!!! The rankings say that the title shot is ours!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Calm down, all of you. I’ve got a solution to this problem if you would all just shut up.
[ He waits for all seven women to shut the hell up so that he can talk. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Now, I admit that both Caged Heat and the Canadian Ninjas both have legitimate claims to a title shot at the pay per view. So, next week right here on Afterburn we are going to have a Number One Contendership match between Caged Heat and the Canadian Ninjas!!! But it’s not going to be just any ladder match. No, we are going to hand a contract above the ladder. The first team to grab that contract wins the title shot at Queen of the ring against Medusa Complex!!!
[ Shane walks off as all three teams glare at each other ready to fight right now. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge match that Shane just signed for us right here next week on Afterburn!!! It’s going to be a Ladder match between the Canadian Ninjas and Caged Heat where the winners will move on to the Queen of the Ring pay per view to take on Medusa Complex for the Women’s World Tag Team titles!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve known Shane for years and I gotta tell you, working for the Empire is huge for this company as he’s signed big match after big match!!! He’s going to take the Empire to the top of wrestling world just like he did the WWCF!!!
Mike Godwinn – Shane was an amazing owner; and nobody is going to question that. He took the WWCF to heights that very few federations could only dream of. Now, here in the Empire working alongside Mark and DDP; the Empire could very well have the greatest front office in any wrestling organization.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You can stop kissing their asses now and get back to the show.
Mike Godwinn – I wasn’t kissing anybody’s ass. Never mind. Folks, it’s time for our next match of the evening as Holidead takes on the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson in a non-title match!!! JoJo, save me here; and take it away!!!

[ Boris and his Triad storm off the set as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Big bold words by the challenger Boris Drago, but it’s going to take more than tough words to knock off Tito Escobar.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I hate to agree with you Mikey, but I’m going to do it just this one time. Tito is one of the best wrestlers on the roster, and cage or not; Boris is going to have to wrestle the best match of his life if he’s going to bring that belt back to Russia!!!

Courtney “Loves” Cox – What about his claims that all the wrestlers that were under contract almost twelve years ago when the Empire shut down are still under contract?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Well, our lawyers are still digging into it; but Mark and I would love to have any of the former stars back under the Empires wings, contract or no contract. We both as owners owe them so very much whether they were wrestling for the Empire or the WWCF over the years, they all made our federations what they were.
[ Shane pauses as Tank Edge walks onto the set and just glares at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Tank, what’s up?
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – What game are you playing at?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What are you talking about? I’m not playing any games and you know that!!!
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – What kind of bull-shit is this, and where the hell is Mark? Why hasn’t he shown his face yet to address this?
[ Shane puts his hands up to try and calm Tank down. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Just relax. Mark and I have been talking about this all week and we are ok with what Go-D wants. He wants to be reinstated into the Empire and he wants to be involved in the Civil War Battle Royal and we have agreed to let him do that.
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – So what, you’re going to let whoever wants back in just stroll right back in and take the place over?
[ Shane chuckles at the thought. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Take over? Nobody is trying to take over anything!!! We have contractual obligations Tank. You better than anyone should know that.
[ tank sticks his finger right in Shane’s face. ]
“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – If this is some sort of sick fucking trick to try and screw the Empire over, I’m going to crush your ass!!!
[ Tank storms off the set leaving Shane standing there dumbfounded by the accusations made by Tank. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Tank obviously doesn’t trust Shane and he thinks that someway, somehow; he’s involved in this thing going on with Go-D.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that the chance to go after the World Heavyweight title isn’t intriguing as fuck. If he’s got a beef with Go-D, maybe Tank should just toss his hat in the ring too.
Mike Godwinn – That’s a great idea!!! There are twenty spots open!!! Could you imagine both Tank and Go-D facing off in that Battle Royal? Folks, it’s time for our next match as Thunder Rosa wrestles in her first singles match right here in the Empire as she goes head-to-head against Maria Manic!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If Maria is going to set her career back on the right course, she’s going to have to beat Thunder Rosa tonight. Now Thunder Rosa hasn’t wrestled as a singles star in a while, so she just might be rip for the picking.

[ The sold out crowd explodes to their feet cheering as Thunder Rosa walks down to the ring draped with the Mexican flag over her shoulders. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is Thunder Rosa. It’s unfortunate that the Twisted SisterZ exploded last week and dissolved their team and their friendship. So many years of working together gone to waste.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t look at it as a waste because all those matches all helped each of them be better superstars today. I really think that this match favors Thunder Rosa.

“The Greatest of All Time” Tank Edge – The next time that name comes out of your mouth, I’m going to shove all your teeth down your throat!!!
[ Tank storms off leaving Los Vipers and Tito laughing at him. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – I have to ask, but what was that all about? Tito mentioned a name and it set Tank off.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Years ago, after the Empire closed, Tank resumed his wrestling career in Mexico under a mask using the name Kong Arias. I guess it’s part of his past that he would rather leave in the closet.
Mike Godwinn – Remind me not to bring that name up around him then. Folks, it’s time to get to some women’s tag team action as the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex take on the newly formed group named S.E.X.!!! Let’s go back to the ring as this match is about to kick off.
