Live from the sold-out Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Monday Night May 24th, 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 "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons 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 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!! Just in-case you don’t watch our sister show Afterburn, I am Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’ve made it to the big show Mikey!!! Monday nights will never be the same with the two of us directing this ship!!!
Mike Godwinn – That’s yet to be seen as we are just a few minutes into the show. Folks, in-case you are wondering why we are here tonight and not your usual broadcast team in Chris Simmons and Mike Thompson; let’s go back to Thursday night on Afterburn and this will answer all your questions.
[ The videotron comes to life as it flashes back to Afterburn just four nights ago where Alexander Stone is already in the ring with mic in hand. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Cut my damn music!!! Now three nights ago, Hopkins and I fought one hell of a match!!! That kid took me to the limit and I commend him for that. He’s going to be a great champion someday, but that day isn’t now!!! My time is now!!! The time of the Gold Standard is now and you, Prophet; you’re nothing more than a bible totting piece of shit; you cheap shot me!!! You take that belt that I held close to my heart and you hit me in the head with it!!! You stained it with my blood!!! Well now you’ve pissed me off!!! You call yourself the Chosen One? Well, I chose to kick your ass right now, so get your ass out here and let’s do this!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as Empire Hall of Famer Go-D walks out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd!!! ]
[ Go-D walks into the ring and asks for a mic before turning toward Stone and the Guerrillas of Destiny showing no fear. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – First off, you’re not exactly the guy I called out; but you’ll do. Secondly, I want to thank you for saving my ass last week; but don’t think for a minute that just because you’re a Hall of Famer I won’t go right through your ass too to get at Prophet.
[ Go-D raises the mic slowly and looks right in Stones eyes. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Shut… up!!!
[ Stone smiles at Go-D. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Wait, what did you say to me?
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Maybe you didn’t hear me. I said, shut your damn mouth!!!
[ The crowd cheers in anticipation of a huge fight building up to start the show off. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – The only reason I’m out here big boy is to tell you man to man the same thing I told Prophet. (and he points right at him) If you get lucky enough to win back that World Heavyweight title at Civil War, I’m coming for it and there aint a damn thing you can do about it!!! It’s our Legacy, and we’re taking it back!!!
[ Go-D turns his back and walks toward the ropes, when he stops and raises the mic again. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – And don’t think about jumping me, because I didn’t come alone!!!
[ Just then the sold out crowd goes wild again as “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons walk out on stage. ]
[ Alexander Stone motions for the Guerrillas of Destiny to hold back as Go-D jumps down to the floor and walks up the rampway and stands between Simmons and Thompson. ]
Mike Godwinn – The fact that Dave Gough, or better known as Go-D came out to the ring and faced off with Alexander Stone was no surprise to any of us. But what did shock the wrestling world was when both “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons walked out on stage to back Go-D up.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I have to give Dave, Go-D; whatever you want to call him credit. He knows that he’s not going to be able to accomplish his goal of winning the World Heavyweight title without someone watching his back. Now, he reached out to two men that both know what the history and legacy of the Empire means to them and they are all on the same page!!! Bang up job to Go-D to recruit these two guys into his fold. The question now is what are their goals? They can’t just be here to play bodyguard to Go-D while he goes on his quest. These guys came back for a reason.
Mike Godwinn – I couldn’t agree more Pezzer, and it looks like we are about to hear from them right out of the gate!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We knew it wouldn’t take long to hear from these guys and it looks like they are going to get it off their chests right now!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet as “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons walk out on stage with cocky smiles. They slowly walk down the ramp and climb into the ring each being handed a mic by Harvey Weinstein. ]
[ Chris and Mike listen as the sold-out crowd cheers them on remembering every match and every ounce of blood they shed for the Empire over the years. Mike looks down at Pezzer at ringside and points at him… ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Hey big boy, you look good in my seat!!
[ Pezzer raises his hands and smiles back at him. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – No worries, when you’re ready to come back the chairs all yours kid.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – So you all like this huh? Dave, Chris and I back in action right here in the Empire!!! But since Thursday night, the big question left unanswered is why? Why did we join forces with Go-D? Why did we leave our cushy jobs at ringside to climb back into the ring and put our bodies on the line again?
[ Messiah steps up… ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – We did it because we are tired of being the Monday night comedy act while all these young punks walk into our ring, our Empire and play in our world!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That’s right. We made the Empire!!! People like Go-D, Tank, Messiah and yeah even you Pezzer (as he points again at Pezzer)!!! But somewhere along the way, we were forgotten!!! Pushed to the back burner while this new generation of wrestlers are pushed up and take our spots!!! The legends of the Empire are nothing more than a footnote on some damn internet board labeled… Hall of Fame Roster!!! Nobody asked us if we could wrestle again!!! Nobody asked us if we could come back!!! The only thing Mark offered us was a chair outside the ring watching as the young kids take our spot!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – We’re done playing second fiddle to a bunch of punks that couldn’t last ten minutes in the ring with us!!! Tiger King!!! Joey Ryan!!! STIXX!!! Are you for fucking real? You shove Dave, Mike and myself in a closet and push those idiots? And you want me to believe that you have the Empire’s best interests at heart? Fuck you, Mark!!! The only thing you want to do is forget how you screwed us all over all those years ago!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That’s right!!! How many times did you shut the federation down? Two, three, four or five fucking times!!! Excuse after excuse after excuse as to why you closed the doors. All fucking lies!!! All you cared about was your damn self!!! You never cared about the legacy of the Empire or the guys that made the place!! We had lives!!! Wives, children and homes!!! We had bills that needed to get paid and when you shut down the money you promised us stopped coming in!!! Some of lost everything and where the fuck where you? You ghosted all of us!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That stops right here, right now!!! We’re here to take back what we built!!! Our legacy and that pisses the suits off in the back that run this place, well… fuck you!!!
[ Crazy Man points at the Civil War banner hanging from the rafters. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Mark, you created this monster and we are going to tear this mother fucker down all around you!!! We’re here to take back our legacy, and it starts at Civil War!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Fill in our names because we will be in that Battle Royal!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – And when that’s over, whoever holds the World Tag Team titles; boys buckle up cause we’re coming for them!!!
[ Simmons and Thompson slam their mics to the mat and storm out of the ring as the cameras pan back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge announcement Pezzer. Both Chris and Mike have just tossed their names in the hat at Civil War where the winner will be guaranteed a future World title match!!! Are you next to toss your name in?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I kinda like the gig I got now. I’m done bleeding for this company.
Mike Godwinn – I’m am happy to hear that Buddy. Let’s go to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with Caristico.
[ The cameras pan to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing next to Caristico. ]
Cindy Meyers – Caristico, thank you for joining me tonight. Let’s start off with your big match tonight against Kahagas and Arik Cannon where the winner will advance to Civil War to face Tito Escobar for the United States Heavyweight title. How are you feeling heading into this match?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Arik Cannon and I have already wrestled once before in the tournament and he’s a hell of a wrestler. I’m sure he’s going to bring it all tonight. Kahagas is a different animal entirely. I have not faced him yet here, believe it or not. We did team up once in a tag match, so I know of him through that; but never one on one.
Cindy Meyers – If you do manage to win this triple threat match tonight, you will move on to face a man that you know very well in the United States Heavyweight champion Tito Escobar.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Yeah, Tito and I have mixed it up a few times; but his day at the top is coming to an end and I’m just the guy to do it.
Cindy Meyers – If you make it into the match, you will be facing him in your home country of Mexico. How great is that?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I think it’s great that two huge Mexican stars like Tito and I have the chance to face each other in-front all of the great Mexican people especially during these hard times that the pandemic is giving us.
Cindy Meyers – Let’s talk for a moment about what’s going on with Tiger King and yourself. For a few weeks now we have seen you take the brunt of this young stars anger over getting beaten so many times.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Listen, Tiger King is a very good wrestler. But if he is going to break through and be a great wrestler, he’s going to have to learn how to handle his anger and take all those losses as a learning tool. And if he keeps his crap up, I’ll take it upon myself to be the teacher!!!
Cindy Meyers – Good luck tonight. Guys, back to you.
[ Before the camera pans back to Mike and Pezzer, it catches Tiger King listening to Caristico from the shadows. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge match this is going to be for all three men tonight as the winner moves on to face the longest reigning champion in the current rendition of the Empire in Tito Escobar at Civil War!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – No matter who wins tonight, this match favors Tito in more ways than one. First, he’s coming into this match wrestling in his own home country so the fans are going to be behind him. Secondly, he’s got the Cartel behind him so the numbers game is going to be in his favor. Lastly, he’s already beaten Caristico and Kahagas so the only wild card is Arik Cannon so that’s in his favor.
Mike Godwinn – I would have to agree. Going into Civil War there’s a pretty good chance that Tito is going to walk out of Mexico as the United States Heavyweight champion!!! Pezzer, it’s time for our opening match of the night as Tiger King tries to snap out of this funk that he’s in as he takes on another man that is desperate for a win in Joey Ryan.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Both of these guys sit at the bottom of the rankings at four and five respectfully, but it’s Joey Ryan with two wins and Tiger King with just one. They both need a win tonight to take a big step toward being in title contention. A loss tonight for either man could bury them in the rankings.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time to for our first match, so let’s get back to the ring and kick things off!!!
Tiger King vs Joey Ryan
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 210 lbs., he is… “The Don” Joey Ryan!!!
[ The crowd erupts in a mixture of laughter and cheers as the part time porn star Joey Ryan struts out on stage to the “The Stroke” by Billy Squire!! Joey dances down the ramp thrusting his penis at young women before climbing into the ring and posing on the ropes. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the very flamboyant Joey Ryan. Joey is coming off a tough loss to Travis Blake last week on Adrenaline. The ever-cocky Joey Ryan really thought he was going to teach the young man a lesson, but it backfired as the young free agent beat him.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Joey has to decide if he wants to be a wrestler or not. He can’t be a part time pimp and a part time wrestler. He will never get anywhere in this sport, just get his ass kicked.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 188 lbs., this is… Tiger King!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos 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 needs to get control of himself. Every time he loses, he blames everyone else. Now it’s Caristico’s fault that he’s losing.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Caristico isn’t the kind of guy that Tiger King wants to mess around with. You’re talking about a guy with years of experience being slapped by a guy with what? A year or two at best? This kid needs to learn his place in the Empire and what respect means.

Time of match: 0:16:10
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by countout, Tiger King!!!
Mike Godwinn – And Tiger King picks up the victory by just beating the count to get back in the ring!!! Doesn’t that cheapen the goal of winning a match Pezzer to score the win that way?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You know, I get it. The kids struggling and he wants to get a win, but a some point he’s going to need to put someone away clean or he still won’t be taken seriously. At least not by the guys that hold the gold!!!
Mike Godwinn – The only other match that he’s scored a pinfall in was a few months back against STIXX. Since then, he’s put nothing up but zeros on the board. Folks, our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex. Let’s listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing between the two ladies that hold the gold, Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie; Medusa Complex. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, good evening. Tonight, you face the Exiles in a non-title match after losing to another upstart team in S.E.X. just two weeks ago. What’s your approach to this match after dropping your last two matches?
Charli Evans – I think in regards to S.E.X., we took them lightly. We weren’t prepared and they took advantage of that and beat us.
Cindy Meyers – Now, you have not won a match cleanly since April 4th when you won these tag team titles. How do you get that long streak out of your heads as you are just a week away from facing Caged Heat at Queen of the Ring?
Millie McKenzie – We’ve been in a pretty tough stretch where things haven’t gone our way, but tonight we’re going to go out there and prove to everyone why we are the Women’s World Tag Team Champions.
[ Just then, Salena and Caged Heat walks onto the set and she’s smiling and clapping at the champions. ]
Salena – Bravo ladies, bravo. I love how you’re trying so hard to convince yourselves that losing to S.E.X. meant nothing!!! Let me wake the two of you up from this delusional dream state you’re both in!!! Last week on Afterburn, we proved to the entire Women’s Tag Team division that we are the best damn tag team in this company and any other company for that matter!!! And when my girls walk into Queen of the Ring, there won’t be anything left of the two of you to ask for a rematch!!!
Charli Evans – Rematch? We don’t need a rematch!!! We’ll beat both of your asses without that rematch clause!!!
[ Millie looks concerned as she grabs Charli by the arm. ]
Millie McKenzie – What are you doing?
Salena – I’ll go see DDP right now and get that stricken from the contract!!! You lose and you don’t get a title shot unless you earn it!!!
[ Salena and Caged Heat walk off laughing at Charli as Millie runs her fingers through her hair worried. ]
Millie McKenzie – What, are you nuts? That’s our only rematch if we were to lose!!!
Charli Evans – We got this!!! We’re not going to lose to those assholes!!!
[ Millie storms off as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – What was Charli Evans thinking Pezzer? She just gave away their only shot at a rematch if they were to lose in six days at Queen of the Ring!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I get that they want to go into this match with confidence, but they also need to hold that trump card in their back pocket just in case they drop the ball and the worst case happens.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our Triple Threat Number One Contendership match with the winner moving on to Civil War to take on Tito Escobar!!! The rules of this match are simple. This will be treated like a tag match with elimination style rules. Last man standing advances to the pay per view!!! Let’s rejoin Harvey Weinstein already in the ring!!!
In a Number One Contendership match for the United States Heavyweight title
where the winner will advance to Civil War to face Tito Escobar!!!
Arik Cannon vs Caristico vs Kahagas
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following triple threat match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the Number One Contendership to the United States Heavyweight title!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs.; he 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 as “The Tokyo Monster” makes his way down to the ring!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Kahagas doesn’t say much, choosing to let his actions speak for themselves; but he currently sits as the number one contender to Tito’s title!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If I was Kahagas I would be pissed off that I have to even be in this match!!! He’s the number one contender and he has to fight for the right to be at the pay per view? What kind of bullshit is that?
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 210 lbs., he is… “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon!!
[ Love him or hate him, the crowd does love his entrance music as “I’m shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s rings across the stadium as the red headed Irish fighter marches down to the ring pissed off with his hands all taped up. He stomps up the stairs and climbs through the ropes ripping his leather jacket off and tossing it to the ringside attendant. ]
Mike Godwinn – I’ve always liked what Cannon brought to the table. The problem is that as fast as he rose to the top of the Empires rankings, he crashes just as fast and he now sits barely in contention for Tito’s title.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – To me, Cannon needs this win more than any other superstar in this match!!!
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And finally, making his way to the ring weighing in at 180 lbs., he is… “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes ape shit as “Me Muero” by La 5A Estación explodes throughout the arena and the Mexican superstar struts out on stage. He makes his way down to the ring high fiving fans and kisses the ladies along the way. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the fan favorite in the match!!! Just imagine of Caristico were to face Tito down in Mexico in front of their own home crowd? What a match that would be for both men!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It would be a huge match, but I still feel like the Cartel would rule the day. It’s just the fact that the numbers game would be too much for Caristico to handle!!!
[ Caristico and Cannon agree to start the match as the bell rings and Caristico nails a Discus lariat on Arik Cannon. Caristico goes for a gutbuster, but Arik Cannon blocks it. Arik Cannon whips Caristico into the ropes, but Caristico reverses it. Arik Cannon goes for a clothesline, but Caristico counters it with an early crucifix pin as Joey Jiles counts …1 …2 …and Cannon kicks out. ]

Mike Godwinn – What a great match and I can’t wait for Civil War to see these Tito Escobar face off against Caristico one more time. Pezzer, let’s go to the back as Cindy Meyers is standing by with the Television Champion Raven Horse!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing between Raven Horse and Reverend Azazel. ]
Cindy Meyers – Raven Horse, you once again find yourself amidst controversy as you go into Civil War against Bulk in a No Disqualification match. Now, it was just last week during your title match with Bulk that you kicked him in his genitals getting yourself disqualified again.
Reverend Azazel – It was a simple slip of the leg. It could have happened to anyone. Purely a reflexive maneuver Cindy. Nothing more, nothing less,
Cindy Meyers – You do realize that this is your second match that has ended in a disqualification and both were championship matches?
Reverend Azazel – Shall we go back and reviews everyone’s records on the roster? I’m sure there are others with just as many blemishes on their records as my client does. Or is this more of a racial attack due to my client’s Indian heritage?
Cindy Meyers – This has nothing to do with anyone’s ethnic background. It has to do with how Raven Horse performs in the ring and what illegal tactics he’s using to gain advantages.
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – Advantages? What kind of an advantage do I have wrestling a man that weighs twice as much as I do? What kind of advantage do I have when he could crush my rib cage with one splash? You want to talk about people with advantages around here, look no further than Chandler Hopkins!!! How can a man that I beat for this title get not one, but two main event matches in back-to-back weeks? Someone needs to explain that to me?
Cindy Meyers – I believe that he’s the number four ranked wrestler in the Empire and you’re not?
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – I am the W.W.E. Television Champion!!! I beat his ass for this title!!! I deserve main event matches, not being spoon fed some overweight curtain jerkers like Bulk!!!!!!
Cindy Meyers – Well, if you can beat Bulk at Civil War, there is always Travis Blake. He seems to be on a pretty good roll as of late. I’m sure he will put up a fight.
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – I don’t want to wrestle these idiots!!! I want a shot at the big prize!!! I want the Worlds Heavyweight…
[ Just then, the Worlds Heavyweight Champion Prophet walks onto the set with his robes on and his book in hand with his World title around his waist. ]
[ Prophet looks as Reverend Azazel and then over to Raven Horse. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” The Worlds Heavyweight Champion Prophet – You stand here amidst false idols (and he looks at Reverend Azazel) and you profess how much you wish to be treated like a chosen one!!! The Prophecy has been written and your story has been told!!! When we clashed on the field of battle, three times I slayed you. Three times I drove you back into the pits of hell and despair for which you came from!!! My son, you cannot beat for which you do not understand!!!
[ Prophet places his hand on Raven Horses shoulder. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” The Worlds Heavyweight Champion Prophet – I have walked in the shadows of Gods and I have been blessed as their chosen one!!! Walk with me and become one of my followers!!! My chosen flock that walks the way of the light!!! Follow me, son!!!
[ Prophet walks away as Raven Horse stands there looking at Reverend Azazel dumbfounded. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – What the fuck?!
[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – I have to tell you that I am really starting to question our World Champions sanity. Each week I think he’s slipping deeper and deeper into this delusional state where he really believes he’s the right hand of God!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s not God, unless you think our owner is God. Myself, I just hope the paychecks never bounce!!! Let’s face it Mikey, Prophet has us all tricked right out of the gate and the only guy that saw it coming we tagged as the bad guy in all this. Alexander Stone saw it, called him out on it; and we didn’t believe him. We may not like Stone, but he saw right through Prophet’s bullshit!!!
Mike Godwinn – I’m not sure who I’m pulling for at the pay per view. Do I cheer on a guy that is crazy as a mother fucker, or do I hope Alexander Stone can beat Prophet to bring some sanity back to the World Heavyweight title?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Is there another choice?
Mike Godwinn – Not that I am aware of. Anyway, folks, it’s time for the ladies to do battle as Medusa Complex takes on the Exiles in tag team action!!! Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein!!!
Medusa Complex © vs The Exiles
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 Malia Hosaka and weighing in at a combined weight of 300 lbs, Genesis and Exodus; they are… Exile!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka escorts her girls down to the ring and they all climb in seemingly feeding off the crowds jeers. ]
Mike Godwinn – Malia has done a nice job training these young women. They are still winless in the tag team division, but they have fought some pretty tough matches especially their last match against the Woke Queens where they fought to a time limit draw.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These girls are slowly starting to make headway and I think it won’t be long before they shock the world and pull off a major upset. I just don’t think it’s going to be tonight.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 234 lbs., Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie; they are the current and reigning Women’s World tag Team Champions… they are… Medusa Complex!!

Mike Godwinn – These two women have been stumbling as of late, losing to both S.E.X. and Twisted SisterZ. They need this win tonight to build back some of that confidence that we all know has to be fading right now.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Medusa Complex is by far the best women’s tag team in the Empire right now. They just need to step up and show it. If they lose tonight, it’s going to crush these two women!!!

Time of match: 0:19:07
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Exile!!!
Mike Godwinn – Oh my God Pezzer, the unbelievable just happened!! For the second week in a row, the Women’s World Tag Team Champions have been beaten by a winless team!!! How can this be happening just six days before their mandatory title defense against Cages Heat?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – All I can think of is that something happened to their psyche when they lost to Twisted SisterZ back at Eve of Destruction!!! Thunder Rosa and Holidead exposed a weakness in Medusa Complex that everyone is teeing off on now!!!
Mike Godwinn – Whatever it is, they need to correct this and fast because Caged Heat is breathing down their necks and thanks to Charli Evans, there will be no rematch!!! Folks, let’s head to the back as our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page!!! Cindy, it’s all yours.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing next to DDP. ]
Cindy Meyers – DDP, you asked for this time because you said you had a very important announcement regarding the upcoming pay per view event, Queen of the Ring. The floor is yours.
The General Manager of the Empire “Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Thank you Cindy. As you are all aware, Queen of the Ring is fast approaching and our reigning Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson does not have an opponent to defend her title against yet. So, if Shanna would come up here, I will be more than happy to announce who she will be facing.
[ The crowd boos as Salena and the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson steps up onto the set. ]
Salena – I’m still unsure why we are being forced to defend the title Page. There isn’t a clear-cut number one contender in our opinion.
The General Manager of the Empire “Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Well, the good thing is; your opinion doesn’t mean shit to me. What does matter to me is that our very first all-women’s pay per view puts on the very best matches. So, Mark, Shane and myself put our collective heads together and we have come up with a solution to your number one Contendership problem.
The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – This is bullshit!!! There aint a woman on this roster that deserves a title shot against me!!!
[ Page smiles at her. ]
The General Manager of the Empire “Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Really? Because I think Gabby Jetson would like to argue that!!!
[ The fans go wild as Gabby Jetson steps up onto the set and stares right at Shanna and her title belt. ]
[ Shanna laughs at Gabby. ]
The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – This is the best you can do? This is the best match you and your brain trust can come up with?
[ Page smiles at her again. ]
The General Manager of the Empire “Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – No, this is the best we could come up with…
[ On cue, Maria Manic storms on to the set and gets right in Shanna’s face!!! ]
The General Manager of the Empire “Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – At Queen of the Ring it’s going to be a Triple Threat match for the Women’s National Championship!!! Shanna Furguson, you will defend your title against Gabby Jetson and Maria Manic!!!
[ Salena is at a loss for words as all three women look like they want to kill each other. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Our General Manager has truly out done himself yet again in signing this Triple Threat match for Queen of the Ring!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We are looking at the number two, three and four contenders to the Women’s World title battling it out for the Women’s National title!!! It’s going to be insane if you ask me. All three women are powerhouses!!!
Mike Godwinn – I can’t wait for the pay per view. It’s going to be good. Wait, what’s this now?
[ “The Beautiful People” starts to play as a mysterious man walks out onto the stage. He stands there with his head down for a few seconds before slowly walking to the ring. As he enters the ring he asks for a mic. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I had no idea that this was open mic night!!!
Psycho Messiah - My name is Psycho Messiah. Some of you know who I am and the others well will learn really fast!!!
[ Psycho Messiah smiles a little, then laughs. ]
Psycho Messiah - For the last few months, I have been sitting around thinking about things. In that time, I have had some very dark thoughts, very disturbing thoughts to be honest. In those thoughts I see plagues and people burning. Like I said very dark thoughts that a normal man should not have. The only thing that made me not think of doing bad is well, nothing has stopped those thoughts. They haunt me day and night, making me wonder what is real and what is fake. All I know is that the people are not ready for what I am capable of.
Psycho Messiah - I do want to scare anyone but I am ready to start stacking bodies to the heavens. Some would say that what I am saying is crazy and yes you would be right, it is but who is gonna stop me from doing such things. The Empire is not ready for such a thing to happen. So, to any wrestler out there that wants to try and stop me. Please sign the waiver and lose some time off your life!!
[ He pauses looking directly into the camera… ]
Psycho Messiah – Empire, welcome to the killing field!!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at Psycho Messiah as he’s handed a mic. ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Psycho Messiah, right? Some of us may have heard of you? Well, I’ve got no fucking clue who you are or where you came from, but I suggest you grab your bags and go back whatever little federation that you came from!!!
[ The crowd boos Funny Bones. ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Shut the hell up!!!
[ And the crowd boos even louder at him!!! ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Dark thoughts? You think you’re the only guy who’s had dark thoughts? I’ve been here since January and that’s all I ever see when I close my eyes are dark thoughts and right now, looking at you; all I wanna do is rip your ass from limb to limb!!!
[ Funny Bones gets right in the newcomers face. ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – And if you think for one God damn minute, I’m going to allow you to enter your name in the Civil War Battle Royal without even wrestling one friggen match you’ve got another thing…
[ Suddenly, he is interrupted as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty by Nature explodes across the arena and the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon comes walking out and marches down to the ring. ]
[ Shane climbs in and asks for a mic and is handed one. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Hold on, both of you; just hold on a second.
[ Shane looks at Psycho Messiah. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Which would you prefer to be called? Psycho? Messiah? We’ve already got a few Messiah’s already so I’ll just call you Psycho. Anyway, welcome to the Empire. I wasn’t there when you signed your contract, but Mark is very excited to see what you bring to the table.
[ Shane turns to Funny Bones. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Funny Man.
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – It’s Funny Bones.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ok, Funny Bones; I understand where you’re coming from. Why guys like you would be a little irritated when newbies walk off the street and maybe, just maybe might get a World title shot. I get it. But what am I supposed to do? It’s a twenty man battle royal and unfortunately there’s only one spot left. You both can’t have that spot. I’m in a little bit of a pickle here.
[ Then Shane snaps his fingers. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I got it. Either of you like basketball?
[ Neither man nods there heads, just glare at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ok, well just play along then. This year the NBA is having what they are calling play-in games. You win, you move on into the play-offs. You lose and you go home.
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – What does that have to do with us? That spot should be mine!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I understand why you would think that, but it’s not. You see, at Civil War the two of you are going to have a match. Let’s call it a Civil War Eliminator Match. The winner moves on and is part of the Battle Royal, and the loser goes home!!!
[ Psycho Messiah nods his head and leaves the ring as Funny Bones stands there laughing at him. ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Keep on walking boy!!! Your first match in the Empire will be your last!!!!
[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge announcement by our CEO Shane McMahon as he just signed Funny Bones to face newcomer Psycho Messiah in a Civil War Eliminator match!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a big match for both men. Battle Royals are tough enough as is, but in order just to be entered into that match, they first must beat the hell out of each other to earn that spot!!! Civil War is shaping up to be one hell of a night.

It’s our Legacy, and we’re taking it back!!!

The Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – And don’t think about jumping me, because I didn’t come alone!!!
[ Just then the sold out crowd goes wild again as “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons walk out on stage. ]
[ Alexander Stone motions for the Guerrillas of Destiny to hold back as Go-D jumps down to the floor and walks up the rampway and stands between Simmons and Thompson. ]
Mike Godwinn – The fact that Dave Gough, or better known as Go-D came out to the ring and faced off with Alexander Stone was no surprise to any of us. But what did shock the wrestling world was when both “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons walked out on stage to back Go-D up.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I have to give Dave, Go-D; whatever you want to call him credit. He knows that he’s not going to be able to accomplish his goal of winning the World Heavyweight title without someone watching his back. Now, he reached out to two men that both know what the history and legacy of the Empire means to them and they are all on the same page!!! Bang up job to Go-D to recruit these two guys into his fold. The question now is what are their goals? They can’t just be here to play bodyguard to Go-D while he goes on his quest. These guys came back for a reason.
Mike Godwinn – I couldn’t agree more Pezzer, and it looks like we are about to hear from them right out of the gate!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We knew it wouldn’t take long to hear from these guys and it looks like they are going to get it off their chests right now!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet as “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons walk out on stage with cocky smiles. They slowly walk down the ramp and climb into the ring each being handed a mic by Harvey Weinstein. ]
[ Chris and Mike listen as the sold-out crowd cheers them on remembering every match and every ounce of blood they shed for the Empire over the years. Mike looks down at Pezzer at ringside and points at him… ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Hey big boy, you look good in my seat!!
[ Pezzer raises his hands and smiles back at him. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – No worries, when you’re ready to come back the chairs all yours kid.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – So you all like this huh? Dave, Chris and I back in action right here in the Empire!!! But since Thursday night, the big question left unanswered is why? Why did we join forces with Go-D? Why did we leave our cushy jobs at ringside to climb back into the ring and put our bodies on the line again?
[ Messiah steps up… ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – We did it because we are tired of being the Monday night comedy act while all these young punks walk into our ring, our Empire and play in our world!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That’s right. We made the Empire!!! People like Go-D, Tank, Messiah and yeah even you Pezzer (as he points again at Pezzer)!!! But somewhere along the way, we were forgotten!!! Pushed to the back burner while this new generation of wrestlers are pushed up and take our spots!!! The legends of the Empire are nothing more than a footnote on some damn internet board labeled… Hall of Fame Roster!!! Nobody asked us if we could wrestle again!!! Nobody asked us if we could come back!!! The only thing Mark offered us was a chair outside the ring watching as the young kids take our spot!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – We’re done playing second fiddle to a bunch of punks that couldn’t last ten minutes in the ring with us!!! Tiger King!!! Joey Ryan!!! STIXX!!! Are you for fucking real? You shove Dave, Mike and myself in a closet and push those idiots? And you want me to believe that you have the Empire’s best interests at heart? Fuck you, Mark!!! The only thing you want to do is forget how you screwed us all over all those years ago!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That’s right!!! How many times did you shut the federation down? Two, three, four or five fucking times!!! Excuse after excuse after excuse as to why you closed the doors. All fucking lies!!! All you cared about was your damn self!!! You never cared about the legacy of the Empire or the guys that made the place!! We had lives!!! Wives, children and homes!!! We had bills that needed to get paid and when you shut down the money you promised us stopped coming in!!! Some of lost everything and where the fuck where you? You ghosted all of us!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That stops right here, right now!!! We’re here to take back what we built!!! Our legacy and that pisses the suits off in the back that run this place, well… fuck you!!!
[ Crazy Man points at the Civil War banner hanging from the rafters. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Mark, you created this monster and we are going to tear this mother fucker down all around you!!! We’re here to take back our legacy, and it starts at Civil War!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Fill in our names because we will be in that Battle Royal!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – And when that’s over, whoever holds the World Tag Team titles; boys buckle up cause we’re coming for them!!!
[ Simmons and Thompson slam their mics to the mat and storm out of the ring as the cameras pan back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge announcement Pezzer. Both Chris and Mike have just tossed their names in the hat at Civil War where the winner will be guaranteed a future World title match!!! Are you next to toss your name in?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I kinda like the gig I got now. I’m done bleeding for this company.
Mike Godwinn – I’m am happy to hear that Buddy. Let’s go to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with Caristico.
[ The cameras pan to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing next to Caristico. ]
Cindy Meyers – Caristico, thank you for joining me tonight. Let’s start off with your big match tonight against Kahagas and Arik Cannon where the winner will advance to Civil War to face Tito Escobar for the United States Heavyweight title. How are you feeling heading into this match?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Arik Cannon and I have already wrestled once before in the tournament and he’s a hell of a wrestler. I’m sure he’s going to bring it all tonight. Kahagas is a different animal entirely. I have not faced him yet here, believe it or not. We did team up once in a tag match, so I know of him through that; but never one on one.
Cindy Meyers – If you do manage to win this triple threat match tonight, you will move on to face a man that you know very well in the United States Heavyweight champion Tito Escobar.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Yeah, Tito and I have mixed it up a few times; but his day at the top is coming to an end and I’m just the guy to do it.
Cindy Meyers – If you make it into the match, you will be facing him in your home country of Mexico. How great is that?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I think it’s great that two huge Mexican stars like Tito and I have the chance to face each other in-front all of the great Mexican people especially during these hard times that the pandemic is giving us.
Cindy Meyers – Let’s talk for a moment about what’s going on with Tiger King and yourself. For a few weeks now we have seen you take the brunt of this young stars anger over getting beaten so many times.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Listen, Tiger King is a very good wrestler. But if he is going to break through and be a great wrestler, he’s going to have to learn how to handle his anger and take all those losses as a learning tool. And if he keeps his crap up, I’ll take it upon myself to be the teacher!!!
Cindy Meyers – Good luck tonight. Guys, back to you.
[ Before the camera pans back to Mike and Pezzer, it catches Tiger King listening to Caristico from the shadows. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge match this is going to be for all three men tonight as the winner moves on to face the longest reigning champion in the current rendition of the Empire in Tito Escobar at Civil War!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – No matter who wins tonight, this match favors Tito in more ways than one. First, he’s coming into this match wrestling in his own home country so the fans are going to be behind him. Secondly, he’s got the Cartel behind him so the numbers game is going to be in his favor. Lastly, he’s already beaten Caristico and Kahagas so the only wild card is Arik Cannon so that’s in his favor.
Mike Godwinn – I would have to agree. Going into Civil War there’s a pretty good chance that Tito is going to walk out of Mexico as the United States Heavyweight champion!!! Pezzer, it’s time for our opening match of the night as Tiger King tries to snap out of this funk that he’s in as he takes on another man that is desperate for a win in Joey Ryan.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Both of these guys sit at the bottom of the rankings at four and five respectfully, but it’s Joey Ryan with two wins and Tiger King with just one. They both need a win tonight to take a big step toward being in title contention. A loss tonight for either man could bury them in the rankings.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time to for our first match, so let’s get back to the ring and kick things off!!!
Tiger King vs Joey Ryan
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 210 lbs., he is… “The Don” Joey Ryan!!!
[ The crowd erupts in a mixture of laughter and cheers as the part time porn star Joey Ryan struts out on stage to the “The Stroke” by Billy Squire!! Joey dances down the ramp thrusting his penis at young women before climbing into the ring and posing on the ropes. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the very flamboyant Joey Ryan. Joey is coming off a tough loss to Travis Blake last week on Adrenaline. The ever-cocky Joey Ryan really thought he was going to teach the young man a lesson, but it backfired as the young free agent beat him.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Joey has to decide if he wants to be a wrestler or not. He can’t be a part time pimp and a part time wrestler. He will never get anywhere in this sport, just get his ass kicked.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 188 lbs., this is… Tiger King!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos 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 needs to get control of himself. Every time he loses, he blames everyone else. Now it’s Caristico’s fault that he’s losing.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Caristico isn’t the kind of guy that Tiger King wants to mess around with. You’re talking about a guy with years of experience being slapped by a guy with what? A year or two at best? This kid needs to learn his place in the Empire and what respect means.

Time of match: 0:16:10
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by countout, Tiger King!!!
Mike Godwinn – And Tiger King picks up the victory by just beating the count to get back in the ring!!! Doesn’t that cheapen the goal of winning a match Pezzer to score the win that way?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You know, I get it. The kids struggling and he wants to get a win, but a some point he’s going to need to put someone away clean or he still won’t be taken seriously. At least not by the guys that hold the gold!!!
Mike Godwinn – The only other match that he’s scored a pinfall in was a few months back against STIXX. Since then, he’s put nothing up but zeros on the board. Folks, our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex. Let’s listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing between the two ladies that hold the gold, Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie; Medusa Complex. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, good evening. Tonight, you face the Exiles in a non-title match after losing to another upstart team in S.E.X. just two weeks ago. What’s your approach to this match after dropping your last two matches?
Charli Evans – I think in regards to S.E.X., we took them lightly. We weren’t prepared and they took advantage of that and beat us.
Cindy Meyers – Now, you have not won a match cleanly since April 4th when you won these tag team titles. How do you get that long streak out of your heads as you are just a week away from facing Caged Heat at Queen of the Ring?
Millie McKenzie – We’ve been in a pretty tough stretch where things haven’t gone our way, but tonight we’re going to go out there and prove to everyone why we are the Women’s World Tag Team Champions.
[ Just then, Salena and Caged Heat walks onto the set and she’s smiling and clapping at the champions. ]
Salena – Bravo ladies, bravo. I love how you’re trying so hard to convince yourselves that losing to S.E.X. meant nothing!!! Let me wake the two of you up from this delusional dream state you’re both in!!! Last week on Afterburn, we proved to the entire Women’s Tag Team division that we are the best damn tag team in this company and any other company for that matter!!! And when my girls walk into Queen of the Ring, there won’t be anything left of the two of you to ask for a rematch!!!
Charli Evans – Rematch? We don’t need a rematch!!! We’ll beat both of your asses without that rematch clause!!!
[ Millie looks concerned as she grabs Charli by the arm. ]
Millie McKenzie – What are you doing?
Salena – I’ll go see DDP right now and get that stricken from the contract!!! You lose and you don’t get a title shot unless you earn it!!!
[ Salena and Caged Heat walk off laughing at Charli as Millie runs her fingers through her hair worried. ]
Millie McKenzie – What, are you nuts? That’s our only rematch if we were to lose!!!
Charli Evans – We got this!!! We’re not going to lose to those assholes!!!
[ Millie storms off as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – What was Charli Evans thinking Pezzer? She just gave away their only shot at a rematch if they were to lose in six days at Queen of the Ring!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I get that they want to go into this match with confidence, but they also need to hold that trump card in their back pocket just in case they drop the ball and the worst case happens.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our Triple Threat Number One Contendership match with the winner moving on to Civil War to take on Tito Escobar!!! The rules of this match are simple. This will be treated like a tag match with elimination style rules. Last man standing advances to the pay per view!!! Let’s rejoin Harvey Weinstein already in the ring!!!
In a Number One Contendership match for the United States Heavyweight title
where the winner will advance to Civil War to face Tito Escobar!!!
Arik Cannon vs Caristico vs Kahagas
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following triple threat match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the Number One Contendership to the United States Heavyweight title!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs.; he is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!

Mike Godwinn – Kahagas doesn’t say much, choosing to let his actions speak for themselves; but he currently sits as the number one contender to Tito’s title!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If I was Kahagas I would be pissed off that I have to even be in this match!!! He’s the number one contender and he has to fight for the right to be at the pay per view? What kind of bullshit is that?
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 210 lbs., he is… “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon!!
[ Love him or hate him, the crowd does love his entrance music as “I’m shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s rings across the stadium as the red headed Irish fighter marches down to the ring pissed off with his hands all taped up. He stomps up the stairs and climbs through the ropes ripping his leather jacket off and tossing it to the ringside attendant. ]
Mike Godwinn – I’ve always liked what Cannon brought to the table. The problem is that as fast as he rose to the top of the Empires rankings, he crashes just as fast and he now sits barely in contention for Tito’s title.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – To me, Cannon needs this win more than any other superstar in this match!!!
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And finally, making his way to the ring weighing in at 180 lbs., he is… “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes ape shit as “Me Muero” by La 5A Estación explodes throughout the arena and the Mexican superstar struts out on stage. He makes his way down to the ring high fiving fans and kisses the ladies along the way. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the fan favorite in the match!!! Just imagine of Caristico were to face Tito down in Mexico in front of their own home crowd? What a match that would be for both men!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It would be a huge match, but I still feel like the Cartel would rule the day. It’s just the fact that the numbers game would be too much for Caristico to handle!!!

Mike Godwinn – What a great match and I can’t wait for Civil War to see these Tito Escobar face off against Caristico one more time. Pezzer, let’s go to the back as Cindy Meyers is standing by with the Television Champion Raven Horse!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Cindy Meyers standing between Raven Horse and Reverend Azazel. ]
Cindy Meyers – Raven Horse, you once again find yourself amidst controversy as you go into Civil War against Bulk in a No Disqualification match. Now, it was just last week during your title match with Bulk that you kicked him in his genitals getting yourself disqualified again.
Reverend Azazel – It was a simple slip of the leg. It could have happened to anyone. Purely a reflexive maneuver Cindy. Nothing more, nothing less,
Cindy Meyers – You do realize that this is your second match that has ended in a disqualification and both were championship matches?
Reverend Azazel – Shall we go back and reviews everyone’s records on the roster? I’m sure there are others with just as many blemishes on their records as my client does. Or is this more of a racial attack due to my client’s Indian heritage?
Cindy Meyers – This has nothing to do with anyone’s ethnic background. It has to do with how Raven Horse performs in the ring and what illegal tactics he’s using to gain advantages.
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – Advantages? What kind of an advantage do I have wrestling a man that weighs twice as much as I do? What kind of advantage do I have when he could crush my rib cage with one splash? You want to talk about people with advantages around here, look no further than Chandler Hopkins!!! How can a man that I beat for this title get not one, but two main event matches in back-to-back weeks? Someone needs to explain that to me?
Cindy Meyers – I believe that he’s the number four ranked wrestler in the Empire and you’re not?
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – I am the W.W.E. Television Champion!!! I beat his ass for this title!!! I deserve main event matches, not being spoon fed some overweight curtain jerkers like Bulk!!!!!!
Cindy Meyers – Well, if you can beat Bulk at Civil War, there is always Travis Blake. He seems to be on a pretty good roll as of late. I’m sure he will put up a fight.
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – I don’t want to wrestle these idiots!!! I want a shot at the big prize!!! I want the Worlds Heavyweight…
[ Just then, the Worlds Heavyweight Champion Prophet walks onto the set with his robes on and his book in hand with his World title around his waist. ]
[ Prophet looks as Reverend Azazel and then over to Raven Horse. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” The Worlds Heavyweight Champion Prophet – You stand here amidst false idols (and he looks at Reverend Azazel) and you profess how much you wish to be treated like a chosen one!!! The Prophecy has been written and your story has been told!!! When we clashed on the field of battle, three times I slayed you. Three times I drove you back into the pits of hell and despair for which you came from!!! My son, you cannot beat for which you do not understand!!!
[ Prophet places his hand on Raven Horses shoulder. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” The Worlds Heavyweight Champion Prophet – I have walked in the shadows of Gods and I have been blessed as their chosen one!!! Walk with me and become one of my followers!!! My chosen flock that walks the way of the light!!! Follow me, son!!!
[ Prophet walks away as Raven Horse stands there looking at Reverend Azazel dumbfounded. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – What the fuck?!
[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – I have to tell you that I am really starting to question our World Champions sanity. Each week I think he’s slipping deeper and deeper into this delusional state where he really believes he’s the right hand of God!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s not God, unless you think our owner is God. Myself, I just hope the paychecks never bounce!!! Let’s face it Mikey, Prophet has us all tricked right out of the gate and the only guy that saw it coming we tagged as the bad guy in all this. Alexander Stone saw it, called him out on it; and we didn’t believe him. We may not like Stone, but he saw right through Prophet’s bullshit!!!
Mike Godwinn – I’m not sure who I’m pulling for at the pay per view. Do I cheer on a guy that is crazy as a mother fucker, or do I hope Alexander Stone can beat Prophet to bring some sanity back to the World Heavyweight title?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Is there another choice?
Mike Godwinn – Not that I am aware of. Anyway, folks, it’s time for the ladies to do battle as Medusa Complex takes on the Exiles in tag team action!!! Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein!!!

[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka escorts her girls down to the ring and they all climb in seemingly feeding off the crowds jeers. ]
Mike Godwinn – Malia has done a nice job training these young women. They are still winless in the tag team division, but they have fought some pretty tough matches especially their last match against the Woke Queens where they fought to a time limit draw.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These girls are slowly starting to make headway and I think it won’t be long before they shock the world and pull off a major upset. I just don’t think it’s going to be tonight.

Mike Godwinn – These two women have been stumbling as of late, losing to both S.E.X. and Twisted SisterZ. They need this win tonight to build back some of that confidence that we all know has to be fading right now.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Medusa Complex is by far the best women’s tag team in the Empire right now. They just need to step up and show it. If they lose tonight, it’s going to crush these two women!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I had no idea that this was open mic night!!!
Psycho Messiah - My name is Psycho Messiah. Some of you know who I am and the others well will learn really fast!!!
[ Psycho Messiah smiles a little, then laughs. ]
Psycho Messiah - For the last few months, I have been sitting around thinking about things. In that time, I have had some very dark thoughts, very disturbing thoughts to be honest. In those thoughts I see plagues and people burning. Like I said very dark thoughts that a normal man should not have. The only thing that made me not think of doing bad is well, nothing has stopped those thoughts. They haunt me day and night, making me wonder what is real and what is fake. All I know is that the people are not ready for what I am capable of.
Psycho Messiah - I do want to scare anyone but I am ready to start stacking bodies to the heavens. Some would say that what I am saying is crazy and yes you would be right, it is but who is gonna stop me from doing such things. The Empire is not ready for such a thing to happen. So, to any wrestler out there that wants to try and stop me. Please sign the waiver and lose some time off your life!!
[ He pauses looking directly into the camera… ]
Psycho Messiah – Empire, welcome to the killing field!!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at Psycho Messiah as he’s handed a mic. ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Psycho Messiah, right? Some of us may have heard of you? Well, I’ve got no fucking clue who you are or where you came from, but I suggest you grab your bags and go back whatever little federation that you came from!!!
[ The crowd boos Funny Bones. ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Shut the hell up!!!
[ And the crowd boos even louder at him!!! ]
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – Dark thoughts? You think you’re the only guy who’s had dark thoughts? I’ve been here since January and that’s all I ever see when I close my eyes are dark thoughts and right now, looking at you; all I wanna do is rip your ass from limb to limb!!!

[ Suddenly, he is interrupted as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty by Nature explodes across the arena and the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon comes walking out and marches down to the ring. ]
[ Shane climbs in and asks for a mic and is handed one. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Hold on, both of you; just hold on a second.
[ Shane looks at Psycho Messiah. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Which would you prefer to be called? Psycho? Messiah? We’ve already got a few Messiah’s already so I’ll just call you Psycho. Anyway, welcome to the Empire. I wasn’t there when you signed your contract, but Mark is very excited to see what you bring to the table.
[ Shane turns to Funny Bones. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Funny Man.
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – It’s Funny Bones.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ok, Funny Bones; I understand where you’re coming from. Why guys like you would be a little irritated when newbies walk off the street and maybe, just maybe might get a World title shot. I get it. But what am I supposed to do? It’s a twenty man battle royal and unfortunately there’s only one spot left. You both can’t have that spot. I’m in a little bit of a pickle here.
[ Then Shane snaps his fingers. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I got it. Either of you like basketball?
[ Neither man nods there heads, just glare at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ok, well just play along then. This year the NBA is having what they are calling play-in games. You win, you move on into the play-offs. You lose and you go home.
“The Demon King” Funny Bones – What does that have to do with us? That spot should be mine!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I understand why you would think that, but it’s not. You see, at Civil War the two of you are going to have a match. Let’s call it a Civil War Eliminator Match. The winner moves on and is part of the Battle Royal, and the loser goes home!!!
[ Psycho Messiah nods his head and leaves the ring as Funny Bones stands there laughing at him. ]
