Climax Control

The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Alex G. Spanos Center in Stockton, California. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.

A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.

He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;

"SCW!"
"SCW!"
"SCW!"

Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around the building at all of the fans filling the gymnasium and the rows of seats around the stands itself. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.

Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Alex G. Spanos Center in Stockton, California and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!

The crowd cheers!

Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!

The crowd cheers as Amanda sashays out onto the stage, wearing a long, platinum blonde wig and elaborate "Cher-like" outfit. With a handsome young man on each arm, Amanda strikes a pose as the performance begins!

Amanda: Does he love me I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
(Is it in his eyes)
Oh no, you'll be deceived
(Is it in his eyes)
Oh no he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he love you so, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)

Is it in his face
Oh no, that's just his charm
In his warm embrace
Oh no, that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss

Oh, Oh, Oh, hug him
Squeeze him tight
To find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is, it's there in his kiss
Oh, oh, it's in his kiss

How 'bout the way acts
Oh no, that's not the way
You're not listening to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh , oh, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)

Oh, Oh, Oh, hug him
Squeeze him tight
To find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is, it's there in his kiss

(How 'bout the way he acts)
Oh no, that's not the way
You're not listenin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh, Oh, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh yeah, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Ooh, it's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Ooh, it's in his kiss
Ooh, it's in his kiss
Oh, it's in the kiss

At the close of the song, both men lean in and kiss Amanda on the cheeks. Amanda proceeds to swoon and collapse on the stage. The two men then each grab an arm and a leg and pick her up and carry her to the back amidst many cheers and laughs.

Simone: Hello and welcome to Climax Control, life from California, I'm Belinda Simone.

Adams: And I'm a man with a plan, I'm Jason Adams and my plan is to wave at as many people as possible, it freaks them out.

Simone: Uh uh, we have six huge matches tonight and we hit the ground running with Giani Di Luca against Lucian Frost.

Adams: These two men are both looking to move up the rankings and this one will help the victor.

Simone: Second up, the ladies of Team SCW get to show off their skills, as Vixen, Becky Ragdoll Jones, Karina Koji and Jessie Salco compete in a four way dance.

Adams: I don't think much dancing is gonna happen in that ring.

Simone: Six person tag up next, filled with championship quality as two sets of former tag team champions, each have a former bombshell champion on their side as NWA tag team champions Sinful Obsession teams with the very popular Odette Ryder, to go against the Main Attraction Kevin Carter, Amazing Ace Baldwin and the tattooed Goddess that is Amanda Cortez.

Adams: I wonder if Odette and Gabriel are gonna be able to keep their hands off each other.

Simone: SCW Bombshell champion Misty is in action tonight, in a non title match against our resident Superhero Roxi Johnson in a non title match.

Adams: If Roxi wins this one, she fires herself to the top of the bombshell ladder as Team SCW try to wrestle away control of the bombshell division from Team Erik.

Simone: Roulette match up next, in mixed tag action as Roulette champion Thatcher Rex, teams with Faith, to take on Casey Williams and Necra Octavian Kane.

Adams: Added to this one, as guest referee, number one contender to the roulette title, Matthew Kennedy will be referee.

Simone: The main event is gonna be a wild one. We have a good old fashion grudge match as the man who turned his back on the Supremacy, Tom Dudely, goes one on one with Supremacy member, and possible heavyweight champion, Jordan Williams.

Adams: Speaking of which, tonight, Hot Stuff Mark Ward said he will deal with this whole heavyweight title debacle.

Simone: And try and work out what happened to Christian Underwood.

Adams: So what are we waiting for? Saddle up!



Jasmine St John waits in the ring as The opening beat of drums is heard through the speaker, The fans instantly boo and cheer as a huge guitar rift starts to play as this pryo’s explode either side of the stage. Skid Row's "Midnight Tornado" Starts to boom through the speakers. The smoke starts to clear and Hot Stuff Mark Ward is seen standing on the top of the stage. He points to the fans on the left side of him, then to the fans on the right, and then clinches his fists. He starts to grind his hips as the rock music continues to blast out. He takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the ramp and does a double muscle pose, causing more pyro’s to explode behind him and the fans react louder. He slowly walks down the ramp, stopping every few feet to pose for the ladies in attendance. Hot Stuff walks up to the ropes and jumps over them, before running and jumping on to the ropes, his arms held high in the air, fans still booing and cheering. Justin hands Hot Stuff a microphone as the music fades

HS: To say the last couple of weeks in SCW has been amongst our best and worst, would be putting it lightly. Christian Underwood kidnapped, confusion over the heavyweight title and I've got the biggest headache known to man, but it's time to stop playing nice. I will deal with this Christian stuff tonight, but first, let's deal with this title crap.

Hot Stuff looks at the top of the ramp.

HS: Jordan, Carter, get out here.

The camera pans around the crowd for a bit when "Subconcious" hit’s the PA System. The crowd erupts into a mixture of cheers and Jordan emerges from behind the curtain and the fans reactions grow louder. Jordan starts to walk towards the ring. Jordan has his arms up in the air, with his trademark smirk etched across his face. Jordan leaps over the top rope effortlessly. Jordan climbs onto the middle turnbuckle. Jordan jumps down and moves towards Hot Stuff, nodding at his long time friend

The arena lights begin to dim down until the arena has gone completely dark. Then the opening to "Porn Star Dancing" could be heard playing throughout the arena. This caused the crowd to react a little bit. The moment the lights came back on there stood Kevin Carter at the top of the ramp just looking around the arena with a smug look on his face and the SCW Heavyweight title belt around his waist. It didn't take long for the crowd to start booing him, but he clearly didn't mind as he started to walk towards the ring. Kevin had made his way up the steps and made his way across the ring apron. In a rather cocky manner he slipped through the ropes and went right to one of the corners. He proceeded to climb it to the second rope and held his hands out at his sides leaning his head back almost as if he was telling the crowd to bow to him. Seconds later he leaped down as he began to remove his jacket tossing it to the outside.

Hot Stuff points at Carter.

HS: Wipe that smug look off your face.

The lights dim down slightly as white strobes flash quickly above the stage. The opening buzzing to “Where Eagles Dare” by The Misfits plays. Once the bass starts up, the lights flash along to the beat of the music. Erik pushes his way through the curtains, wearing a Team Erik T-shirt and a pair of tight jeans. Drew Patton follows him out. They walks down the entryway, soaking in the booing as if they power Erik. Erik pauses at the end of the ramp and looks out to both sides. He dashes up to the ring and leaps onto the apron before climbing inside. Drew follows Erik's every move. He looks around at the audience with his evil smirk before grabbing a microphone. He pauses in the center of the ring, waving his arms out at the sides, asking the fans to keep it coming. He looks over to his wrist watch and taps it, shrugging his shoulders as the booing finally dies down. He slowly paces back and forth.

Erik: Do you really think I'd let Kevin come out here, without me?

HS: Oh no Erik, I expected your sorry arse out here, I was counting on it.

Erik raises the mic to his lips but Hot Stuff puts a hand up.

HS: At Hostile Takeover, you thought you finally got one over on me, eh? Stealing the title, is that the best you can do? Is that what you tell these idiots to go out and do? Oh Erik, you've tried this before, trying and failing to rob Spike of his title and now trying again.

Hot Stuff reaches in to his pocket and pulls out a sheet of paper.

HS: This Erik, is the contract YOU approved when we made that match, to allow someone to take a title shot when they wanted.

Hot Stuff thrusts the paper in to Erik's chest. Erik takes it in his hand.

HS: Read section five.

Erik unfolds the paper and looks at it.

Erik: Two board level staff must approve the title shot in advance.

HS: IN ADVANCE! Those are the two words that stand out to me. Now I know I didn't approve of it and Christian was clearly tied up.... no pun intended there, so that so called match never happened, it wasn't legal, it was a cheap shot and a title steal for a man not good enough to win it himself.

Carter looks angry, but Hot Stuff smirks at him. Hot Stuff takes the paper from Erik's hand and reaches in to his back pocket.

HS: As you've done this twice, I'm now using my power to do this.

Hot Stuff flicks the lighter, setting the page on fire and dropping it to the floor.

HS: You're done Carter. Now give the belt back to the real champ.

Jasmine tries to take the title belt away from Carter, but Drew steps in front, yelling at Jasmine. Kevin Carter stands shaking his head, refusing to hand the belt over. Jordan, with one hand on his hip, has his other hand extended out for Carter to hand him the championship belt. Carter, with belt in hand, refuses to hand the belt over. Suddenly, there is commotion around ringside. Fans in the crowd are being shoved aside as an amazon woman, hops the guard rail.

Adams: Security! Get that big ass fan out of here!!!

Simone: Uhh…Jason, that is no fan! I know who that is!

The blonde woman, whom looks as if she was chiseled out of granite climbs onto the apron as Carter, HS, Jordan, Staggs and Patton turn their attention to her. SCW Security starts coming down to the ring as the huge woman climbs inside the ring. As they reach the ringside area, HS tells them to stop.

Simone: Oh no! This is going to be trouble!

The woman comes face to face with Jordan.

Adams: Jordan is 6’5 and she is looking Jordan eye to eye! She’s every bit as big as Jordan! Holy crap!!!

The woman shoves past Jordan and walks up to Kevin Carter and gives him a deep, evil stare down. Carter is in disbelief as this mountainous woman looks down at him. Out of no where, she snatches the SCW Heavyweight Championship from Carter, then walks back across the ring and hands the belt to Jordan. Staggs and Carter stare at each other as Jordan is laughing uncontrollably, while Hot Stuff looks at Jordan as if he’s lost his mind. Jordan puts the microphone up to his mouth and begins speaking.

Jordan: To the uninitiated let me explain what just happened and who this sexy…

The woman turns her head slightly, none too thrilled with what Jordan just said.

Jordan: Right…business…business. Over the past few months, I have been savagely attacked by the likes of Casey Williams, Kain, and countless others! I’ve finally had enough! Since I’m the SCW Heavyweight Champion, I’m a precious commodity. I can’t afford…no, this isn’t about me…SCW can’t afford to have the face of the company injured severely because of someone attacking me. Its bad for business! Now she will be here to protect me…a bodyguard if you will.

Adams: A female as a bodyguard!?

Jordan: After Tom turned on me, I was venting after the show to Christian. I mentioned to him that I was looking for a bodyguard and Christian being Christian, suggested this amazon that stands before you! To the old school fans, she needs no introduction. They’ve seen her path of destruction over the years. But thanks to Christian’s connection with the old stable, Premiere Enterprises…I was put into contact with the most ruthless woman of all time…SCW men AND Bombshells, I dare you to plot on me and try to attack me now!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce; the baddest bitch on the planet: SASHA!!!!!!!

Simone: The entire SCW roster and staff has been put on notice! Sasha is a nightmare!

Jordan has a huge grin on his face as puts his arm around Sasha, who immediately shrugs him off.

Adams: Looks like Jordan will get his ass kicked by his own bodyguard!

Jordan whispers something to Sasha and Sasha turns her attention to referee Drew Patton and snatches him by the throat! Carter and Staggs look on in bewilderment as the fans start cheering as she starts choking Patton. Patton sinks to his knees as he tries to pry Sasha’s death grip! Sasha then pulls Patton up to his feet with the greatest of ease and lifts him above her head in a military press position.

Simone: Yep! This is what I’m talking about.

Sasha walks around the ring as the fans erupt into cheers. Sasha then tosses Drew Patton-high over the top rope and onto the SCW Security who is still gathered around ringside and the aisle!

Adams: Oh my god!!!!

Simone: This is a shocking turn of events! Jordan Williams is still the SCW Heavyweight Champion and he has a new bodyguard as well, Sasha!

Erik and Carter quickly drop and slide out of the ring. Hot Stuff takes the mic from Jordan.

HS: Hey Carter, enjoy your match tonight, cause it's your last in SCW for a while. I'm sick of your crap, I'm sick of your sneak attacks. Consider yourself done with SCW.

The fans cheer in approval as Carter looks furious.

HS: And Erik, we're not done for the night yet.

Erik pulls a microphone from under the ring ropes and hold it to his mouth.

Erik: You're right Mark, we're not done for the night. You see, I've been thinking about what the kidnappers said about me. Now I don't know these kidnappers.

HS: Bullshit.

Erik: What kind of man do you take me for?

HS: One that would piss on his own mother to get what he wanted.

Erik: True, but still. They said you had to promote me Mark. I've been thinking about that. You own fifty percent of the company, now without Christian around, that's all there is, so I think you should listen to them Mark. I think giving me thirty percent will appease them.

Simone: WHAT!?!?!

Hot Stuff looks at Jordan, Jordan slowly shaking his head.

Erik: Here's what you need to think about. What's more important, your friend, or your business?

Erik smirks and drops the mic as "Where Eagles Dare" starts to play

Simone: What an explosive start to the show! Jordan Williams is the heavyweight champion, Sasha is in SCW, Hot Stuff has suspended Kevin Carter and now Erik Staggs wants thirty percent of SCW!

Adams: It's gonna be one of those shows tonight.



Justin: Our opening match is scheduled for one fall. Our first opponent hails from the far reaches of sanity. He is a former roulette champion and tag team champion. He weighs in at one hundred and sixty five pounds. LUCIAN FROST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights begin to flicker around the room, spot lights scan around the crowd, "Salt in the Wound" begins to play as the crowd looks around to see where he is coming from. Frost appears from one side of the arena and heads through the crowd before climbing over the barricade and slides under the bottom rope.

Justin: His opponent is a member of Team Eric and is from Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Standing at six foot five inches tall and weighing two hundred and eighty five pounds, he is The Italian Stallion. GIANI DI LUCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few cameras file through the curtains. “Wrecked” plays when Giani comes down to the ring, he supplies his own blast of pyros that rain down on him as he pauses, soaking in the boos of the audience. He really gets them going as he flips his hands from under his chin, laughing as they boo. He jumps onto the ring apron and soaks in the audience reaction before climbing under the top rope. He bounces from the ropes, then runs over to the far turnbuckle and raises his fist high in the air for his camera crew. He leaps down and jogs in place.

Simone: These men don’t have a lot of history in the ring but they are both big names in this federation. This should be a really good match.

Adams: Yeah if Team Erik doesn’t rush in and just turn this into a brawl.

Before the bell can ring Giani rushes up to Frost and catches him with a cheap shot to the face. The referee warns him about that as the fans jeer him. Di Luca just laughs and right as the bell rings he hits Frost with a spear as he is still recovering.

Adams: I think I miss the old happy go lucky Giani.

Simone: Me too, not that I miss that show of his.

Adams: I should have a reality show about me...that would be great.

Simone: Are you huffing something?

Giani is on top of Frost hitting him with punch after punch. Frost deflects the majority of the blows but can’t get him off, until the referee gets involved. The moment Giani is pulled off him Frost rolls back to his feet and with a sudden burst of speed hits Di Luca with a running elbow strike following that up with a reverse DDT.

Simone: It amazes me sometimes just how fast Frost is.

Both men are up quick. Frost attempts a kick that Giani dodges out of the way of, then grabs Frost whipping him into the ropes. On the rebound Frost leaps over Giani and leaps for the opposite turnbuckle to hit a springboard splash that catches Giani as he turns around. Frost gets a big pop for that move. Frost tries for the pin but Giani Di Luca pushes him off before he gets the chance.

Adams: Yeah but Di Luca is no slow poke either for a bigger guy.

Both men are up again, this time a little slower. They lock up and Giani starts to drive Frost towards the ropes. Frost reverses getting behind Giani trying for a belly to back suplex. Giani elbows Frost before he can complete the move. Di Luca gets another elbow strike in and reverses the hold into a full nelson. The crowd boos.

Simone: Di Luca with a big full nelson slam!

Adams: Frost bounced hard off the canvas and Di Luca is going for the pin.

1.... 2...Frost kicks out!

Giani Di Luca gets to his feet grinning at all the fans that are screaming at him. He runs at Frost hitting him with a big punt before he gets to his feet. He lifts Frost to his feet and up into a military press slam! Giani goes for the pin again.

1.....
2.....
Nearly 3....

Simone: Frost gets a shoulder up just in time and Giani does not look pleased.

Adams: He is cursing in Jersey speak...

Simone: You know that is not its own language.

Adams: Have you ever been to New Jersey?

Giani pulls Frost up again and this time whips him into the corner. He motions to the crowd that this match is over and goes charging forward for the spear. At the last moment Frost dives out of the way, causing Giani to slam his shoulder into the turnbuckle. Frost is looking to capitalize with a running snapmare driver into that same turnbuckle.

Simone: Giani lets his anger get the better of him.

Frost is up on the top turnbuckle and the crowd is loving it. He motions for Ice Falls until he sees that Erik has walked up onto the ramp along with Kevin Carter. Frost takes a moment to see what they are going to do but they don’t leave the ramp. Frost gets airborn with the Ice Falls but Giani gets his knees up.

Adams: Oh come on, if Frost had not been distracted he would have this one.

Simone: Team Erik seems to know it too, they are laughing it up.

Both men are slow to their feet but surprisingly Frost is the first to be fully upwards while Giani is still only to his knees. Frost leaps over him, leaps onto the turnbuckle and catches Di Luca in a slingshot Oklahoma roll, going for the pin.

1....
2...

Giani Di Luca muscles out of the pin.

Simone: We are seeing a lot of back and forth. Frost might be able to run circles around Di Luca but he can’t keep him down yet.

Frost up first again but when he goes to grab at Giani he is met with a hard uppercut. Frost reels back a little bit and Di Luca takes his feet out from under him. Then he stands up, taking a moment to catch his breath. He notices Eric and Kevin on the ramp for the first time and grins. He stomps on Frost as he starts to get up.

Adams: The more the fans seem to yell at Giani Di Luca, the more he seems to like it.

Simone: I think any attention is good attention for Di Luca. He seems to be having fun being the villain.

As Frost tries to get to his feet Giani hits him with a big axe handle smash that sends the smaller man to his knees. Frost tries to get back up, but Di Luca hits him again. This time he follows it up with a big boot.

Adams: Oh man that one looked like it hurt.

Giani pulls Frost up one more time. Frost tries to reverse but Giani reverses right after and catches him with another big boot this time to the gut. He is setting him up for a huge pumphandle slam!

Simone: Giani gets Frost with the Jersey Turnpike...this one might be over.

1
2
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DING DING DING

Justin: The winner of the match.... GIANI DI LUCA!

Simone: Giani picks up a huge win against a man who's SCW career has been full of gold.

Adams: Don't talk too loudly, his head will swell and we'll never get him up the entrance ramp!



The scene opens backstage at the arena. We see Hot Stuff sitting behind his desk watching the show, as a knock comes to the door. The door opens and there stands Joanne Canelli and her boys behind her. Her arm is in a sling, and a couple of bruises still remain eve hidden under her makeup from the show two weeks ago. Reno closes the door, as she crosses the floor toward Hot Stuff's desk.

HS: Ms. Canelli, to what do I owe the honor?

Joanne: I don't know, you tell me. I had a message on my phone this mornin' that you wanted to see me about somethin' important, so here I am.

HS: I did, and you're the only person that I know that would have those type of connections to make it happen.

Joanne smiles softly as she looks down at him.

Joanne: And what might that be? Because I have a lot of connections, and I'm a bit out of it, from the concussion I got two weeks ago.

HS: I'm talking about the kidnapping of Christian Underwood!

Joanne is taken back and shakes her head.

Joanne: What? Why would I do somethin' like that?

HS: We all know that Erik wants full power of the SCW and you have a lot of connections to make any of us disappear for him!

Joanne: Wow... Just wow. I can't believe you would call me in here after everythin' and accuse me of doin' somethin' that I wouldn't even waste my time on! Mr. Underwood doesn't have any real value to me. I would ask for like five bucks for him! Besides he's technically still one of my bosses, and I have never, ever kidnapped anyone that I have ever worked for!

Hot Stuff leans forward in his seat as Joanne paces back and forth in front of his desk.

HS: So the reports of you being in Sacred Heart for the last two weeks is correct then?

Joanne: YES! You can go and check it out if you want. It's not that far away! Now if you're done with all of your of your accusations I'll take my leave and see you next week!

HS: Right. I'll get someone to check that out, and I'll have someone keep an eye on you, and make sure your story does check out. Good evening Miss Canelli.

Reno opens the door, and Joanne turns walking out of the room muttering something as she does in Italian.

Joanne: Ho pensato che l'FBI era male, quando si trattava di avere storie composte di quello che faccio. (I thought the FBI was bad, when it came to having stories made up about what I do.)

The door slams shut, and Hot stuff just shakes his head, as the scene fades back to the arena.




Argento is seen pulling up to the arena in a black Ford Mustang convertible. He's motoring pretty fast, and almost seems to float around a corner as he heads into the parking structure and slams on the brakes, coming screeching to a halt, before he turns off the engine. In the passenger side, we see his sister Lili looking scared, holding her hands out like she's afraid she's going to go through the windshield. She puts a hand over her chest, breathing heavily as Argento flings his car door open, then reaches in the back seat for a duffle bag before slamming the door and walking around the front of the car. Lili jumps out of the car and starts to follow him.

Lili: Michael... Michael... MICHAEL!!!

When Argento doesn't answer, she grabs his bicep and pulls him to a halt.

Lili: Michelangelo Argento, you hear me calling your name, now stop!!

Argento sighs and turns around, throwing his hands in the air, raising his voice to his sister.

Argento: What Lili?!!.. What??!! What is it that has you grabbing me like that and stopping me from going into the arena??!!

She frowns as she hears the intensity in his voice, and shakes her head slowly.

Lili: What has gotten into you Michael? You're not eating right, you're not sleeping, and you've never... EVER driven like that. It's like you're some pod person from the planet Mars or something!!

Argento rolls his eyes and bites his bottom lip for a moment before he pulls his arm from Lili's grip a bit roughly.

Argento: Maybe you don't know me aws well as you thought you did Lili.

Lili gasps as she hears that and looks up in her brother's eyes.

Lili: What?! How can you say that?! It's been just you and me against EVERYONE for so long... how can I NOT know you?!!

Argento shrugs and tugs at the bottom of his sports coat to straighten it out, then adjusts the cuffs. When he looks back at Lili, he lifts an eyebrow at her.

Argento: Maybe I'm different because I have someone new in my life and you're jealous of the fact that it's not just me and you anymore.

Lili looks at her brother shocked, then throws her head back and laughs.

Lili: And just who are you talking about being in your life? That undead monster, Gothika who tried to suck the life out of you a few weeks ago when you went out to a club?

Argento frowns and points at his sister in the face.

Argento: Watch it Lili!! Don't you DARE!! Don't speak that way about Gothika! You weren't there! You don't' know the circumstances of what happened...

Lili slaps Argento's hand out of her face and frowns back.

Lili: I'll speak however the hell I want Michael!! That blood sucking bitch sent you home half drained of blood!! You were white as a sheet! It took you DAYS to recuperate, and you haven't seen hide nor hair of her since the last Climax Control that she had a match!

Argento grabs Lili's wrist, and she looks down at his hand in shock before she looks back up at him.

Lili: Let go of me, Michael!!

Argento lifts her wrist up in the air, then drops it and she rubs it slowly as he points at her again.

Argento: Why do you think I'm here? I need to make sure she's alright! Besides... I didn't say I wanted you to come with me anyways. You just threw yourself into my business again... Just like every time I get a new lady in my life!

Lili's eyes start to tear up and her bottom lip starts to tremble and Argento sees it and suddenly his temper cools.

Argento: Lili... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be that harsh...

Lili doesn't listen. She just shakes her head and storms off as Argento starts after her.

Argento: Lili... Lili wait! I didn't mean it... Come on sis!!

Lili turns around, and wipes stray tears from her eyes.

Lili: I don't even know you anymore Michael...

She takes off running and Argento stops chasing her, sighing heavily as he runs a hand through his hair.

Argento: Shit... That went over like a sack of lead bricks...

Argento heads off through the arena after his sister.




Adams: Here come the Bombshells, Belinda! And lots of them!

Simone: Oh brother. Do we have the medics on stand by?

Adams: I sure hope so! I'm sure one of these ladies is going to need it!

Simone: I meant for you, dippy. You're going to give yourself a heart attack.

Misty, Roxanne, The Fallen, Necra Octavian Kane, Amy Marshall, Joanne Canelli, Amanda Cortez and Laura Jackson are already surrounding the ring. Each one of them has a wicked smile on their face as they lean against the sides of the ring.

Justin Decent: Ladies and Gentleman our next match is scheduled for one fall and it is a Four Corners Lumberjill Match!

The crowd cheers but as the ladies of Team Erik raise their arms arrogantly, they receive a vicious round of booing.

Justin Decent: Introducing first from Portland, Oregon. Weighing in at 120lbs...Becky "Ragdoll" Jones!!!

"Lollipop" by Framing Hanley begins to play as Becky appears at the top of the entrance ramp wearing an open leather jacket over her ring gear. She runs to one side punching the air and generally taunts the crowd as she quickly makes her way down the ramp, stopping a few feet away from the ring as the ladies of Team Erik glare at her sadistically. She eyes them cautiously as they practically begin stalking her.

Simone: Oh come on! They won't even let her in the ring! Would someone pull these guard dogs away so Becky can get in the ring?

Inside the ring, referee Drew Patton does nothing as Misty, Roxanne and Amy Marshall stand at the end of the ramp with the rest of the ladies surrounding every inch of the ring, and Becky backs away down the ramp a few feet further, not sure of what to do. Just then her music dies down and the lights dim fast and the charging riff of "Through My Eyes" by Threat Signal tears the PA system a new one, and Jessie Salco comes dashing from behind the curtain and down the ramp, followed by her brother, Jake.

Justin: Introducing next from Miami, Florida...Weighing in at 120lbs...being accompanied to the ring by her brother, Jake...Jessie Salco!!!

Jessie and Jake dart down the ramp and to Becky's side, as Misty, Roxanne and Amy remain where they are and all eyes are locked on two of the ladies of Team SCW. Jessie begins shouting at Misty and Amy, and the two look at each other and laugh, before daring Jessie to take another step forward. Jake stands in front of his sister and Becky protectively, and Misty suddenly shakes her head, pointing to him, before she turns around, calling for Drew.

Adams: What is she doing?

Simone: Your guess is as good as mine, Jason, but when it comes to Misty, I can only imagine. Drew is absolutely despicable for letting this display continue.

Misty jumps onto the ring apron for a moment and begins saying something to Drew, continuing to point at Jessie's brother. Drew nods affirmatively a few times, as Jessie, Jake and Becky watch on curiously as Drew walks over to Justin Decent, relaying a message, and Misty jumps down from the ring apron with a satisfied smirk.

Justin Decent: Ladies and Gentleman...Referee Drew Patton has just order that Jake Salco be banned from ringside for the duration of this match! Should he ignore this order, Jessie Salco will be disqualified and ordered backstage!

The crowd boos loudly as Jessie looks furious! She's ready to attack the ladies of Team Erik, but Jake holds her back, and says it will be alright. Jessie argues a bit, but Jake has no choice but to head backstage. Jessie gives Misty the finger, and the Bombshell Champion only shrugs with a smug look on her face.

The arena then goes black once more as purple lights fill the arena. "The Ruler and the Killer" by Kid Cudi starts to blare from the loudspeaker and soon after, Karina Koji appears from behind the curtain.

Justin Decent: Introducing next from the Carpathian Mountains, Romania..Weighing in at 116lbs...Karina Koji!!!

She stares down the ramp, seemingly unaware of the audience at first. Her oversized hoodie hides most of her face and she is dragging a large metal bat behind her as she makes her slow walk down the ramp, stopping next to Becky and Jessie. Amanda and Necra each walk up and stand next to Misty, Roxanne and Amy as their protective line only grows further, keeping the real participants of this match at bay.

Simone: This is ridiculous! The way this is going, this match is never even going to start! No matter what, Team SCW is outnumbered either way! Can't Mark do something about this?

Adams: My guess is a big fat no.

Karina lowers her hood, and begins tapping the bat against the metal ramp, glaring around at her enemies. She doesn't say a single word as she quietly and eerily dares them to take a step forward, but they don't. They stay right where they are, not intimidated, but not daring to challenge Karina or that metal bat...yet.

Karina's music dies down at the throbbing beat of "You're Going Down" by Sick Puppies is heard, and just like Jessie, Vixen dashes out from behind the curtain and the crowd goes wild!

Justin Decent: And finally from Ottawa Ontario, Canada...Weighing in at 128lbs...Vixen!!!

Adams: Foxy lady coming through!

Vixen bolts down the ramp, charging right to the ladies of Team Erik...Misty specifically! She dashes past her team mates on Team SCW, and opponents for this match, and runs right at Misty. Becky, Jessie and Karina stand there for a moment, stunned, but as Vixen attacks alone, they take the hint! Misty gently pushes Roxanne, Amy and the others aside preparing for Vixen, yet her own preparations don't help her as Vixen spears her right against the side of the ring and all hell breaks lose!

Simone: I don't believe this! The match hasn't even started and we've already got a damn brawl out here!

Adams: Huh? What did you say?

Misty shoves Vixen away and Roxanne and Necra grab a hold of her as Misty begins assaulting her. Becky, Jessie and Karina charge down the ramp to defend her. Jessie and Becky take on The Fallen and Karina bravely takes on Amanda and Laura, as Misty, Roxanne and Amy continue their three on one assault of Vixen, and referee Drew Patton watches on, doing absolutely nothing.

Simone: Come on Drew! Do your damn job!

Adams: I think he's waiting for that. How is he supposed to officiate a match that hasn't even started?

Simone: He can MAKE it start, damn it!

The lumberjills of Team Erik simply overpower the ladies of Team SCW, and when all is said and done, they slide each woman into the ring, one by one, smiling proudly at the chaos they have caused. Once all four women are in the ring, Drew FINALLY calls for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!

Simone: Oh, sure...This shouldn't make his job difficult now! Look at all four of the Bombshells in the match!

Jessie, Becky, Vixen and Karina are all spread around the ring, feeling the effects of each of their beat downs at the hands of the lumberjills. Vixen is crawling her way to the ropes, as Becky and Jessie are near one of the corners and Karina is leaning against the opposite side of ropes. The ladies of team Erik look on intently, proud of what they have done. Vixen is the first to get back to her feet as she glares at Misty on the outside of the ring. Misty yells at her to pay attention to the match, and in a show of respect, Vixen walks over to each of her opponents(and Team SCW teammates) and helps them back to their feet! All four ladies stand united, if only for a short moment, looking around the ring and the Team Erik lumberjills, and the crowd cheers them on.

Adams: Are they going to fight each other or Team Erik here?! Do something ladies!

Simone: You've gotta have some respect for each of these four women, Jason as they show respect for one another. They knew heading into this match that the bigger problem would be the lumberjills.

After a few moments of looking around at the enforcers on the outside of the ring, Becky, Jessie, Vixen and Karina turn their attention back to one another, ready to get this match started. Not a word is spoken between them as they look around at one another. Misty shouts to them, and this causes Vixen walk over right in front of her, trying to get at her through the ropes, but Misty quickly backs away laughing. As Vixen has her back turned, Becky takes the opportunity to catch her in a quick roll up, looking to end this one before it even started! Drew drops down for the very quick count!

1..
2..No! Jessie springs forward knocking Becky back, and off of Vixen.

Vixen quickly gets back to her feet, looking furious at Drew Patton's quick count, but more surprised at Becky, but Jessie is taking care of that situation, as she has her former tag team partner cornered and is delivering punch after punch, apparently none to pleased at Becky's pin attempt. Vixen watches on, a little shocked, and she has her back turned to Karina, who is slowly stalking her, unsure of her next move!

Adams: Umm...Vixen may want to turn around!

Karina reaches her hand out and taps Vixen on the shoulder and Vixen spins around to see the creepy look Karina is giving her. Vixen tries to talk some sense into her, pointing around at the lumberjills on the outside, but Karina begins shaking her head, tilting it as she stares at Vixen. Vixen places a hand on her shoulder, trying to talk to her calmly and this causes Karina to snap! She ducks yanks her shoulder away from Vixen and goes to punch Vixen, but Vixen quickly ducks and charges past Karina, but Karina grabs Vixen by the hair, yanking it and pulling her down to the mat! Karina pounces on top of Vixen and begins her assault, as Drew looks between to two dueling pairs of ladies, and the lumberjills watch on proudly.

Simone: Team Erik's ladies are real happy now, aren't they? I bet this is what they wanted.

Adams: Divide and conquer!

Vixen manages to flip Karina up and off of her, giving her a quick chance to get back to her feet, and just as she does, Becky attempted to Irish whip Jessie against the ropes, but instead, Jessie collided with Vixen, and the two crash down to the mat. The lumberjills look on and laugh, and Karina is back to her feet with Becky behind her. Becky goes to spin Karina around, but Karina delivers a hard elbow to Becky's face, and whips her against the ropes. As Becky bounces against the ropes, Amy Marshall takes it upon herself to jump up and pull one of the ropes down, causing Becky to fall through the ropes and to the outside of the ring!

Simone: Oh real smooth! How is that fair?!

Adams: It wasn't...that's the point.

Amy, Amanda and Laura quickly begin their assault on Becky and Karina takes the opportunity to climb her way to the top rope, as the crowd cheers her on. She flies off of the top turnbuckle, crashing against all three of the Team Erik ladies, and chaos ensues once again as Necra and Roxanne head over to the mess and another brawl breaks out.

Meanwhile inside the ring, Jessie and Vixen were engaged in a friendly fight until they witnessed the brawl begin. They shove each other away and when Vixen spots Misty heading over to the melee on the outside, she moves fast! Vixen flies through the ropes, crashing against Misty and into the barricades!

Adams: This match is really making me dizzy.

Simone: And its making me sick to my stomach!

Vixen begins her assault on the Bombshell Champion, as Jessie comes flying off the top turnbuckle, crashing against both members of the Fallen! As Amanda and Laura continue their assault on Becky and Karina, Amy walks around the ring and grabs...Karina's metal bat! She slams it against the steel steps a couple times, the sound echoing throughout the building as she heads back over to the mess, looking for the right moment.

Simone: What is she going to do with that?

Adams: Isn't it obvious? She wants to play baseball!

Simone: Oh shut up you idiot!

Amanda and Laura take Becky and slide her back inside the ring and when they are about to do the same with Karina, Amy shouts at them to stop. Amy runs up behind Karina, swinging the bat back, and hitting her hard in the back of the knee, and Karina crumples to the floor, holding her knee in agony! Amy tosses the bat down and grabs Karina, throwing her back inside the ring, as Jessie fights Raynin and Gothika and Vixen keeps pummeling Misty. Inside the ring, Karina is holding her knee, rolling around the ring in pain as Becky is on her knees, looking on. Drew isn't even checking on Karina, as he stands around, letting this mess continue. Becky notices that everyone on the outside is preoccupied and distracted, and has a clear advantage with an injured Karina right in front of her She scrambles over to Karina and goes for the pin attempt, but Karina somehow manages to quickly counter its!

Simone: Wolf Bite! Karina has the Wolf Bite locked in!

Karina is clearly hurting herself more in the process as she has the submission move locked in and ultimately, Becky Jones begins tapping out, and Drew calls for the bell!

DING! DING! DING!

Justin Decent: Ladies and Gentleman...your winner by submission...KARINA KOJI!!

Karina releases the hold, but the damage to her may be far greater than to Becky as she holds her knee once again. Vixen and Jessie look on, shocked at what just happened, temporarily distracted from their own feuds with the members of Team Erik. Misty attacks Vixen from behind, hitting her in the back of the head with a hard elbow, before she slides her back in the ring, and The Fallen quickly do the same with Jessie Salco, and the members of Team Erik quickly make their leave from ringside, looking at the mess in the ring, though Jessie and Vixen are checking on Karina, calling for help. Medical staff quickly runs down the ramp to check on Karina as Vixen glares at Misty.

Simone: This is just wrong...Karina won the match, but who knows the shape her knee is in right now! Absolutely sickening!



Backstage, James Huntington Hawkes III is standing next to Simpson, an angry look on his face.

JHHIII: They're treating me like a joke Simpson, and that Erik guy is breaking every promise he made to me. He said he would get me a Roulette title shot, but he hasn't, he said he would turn me in to a star, but he's too busy with Kevin Carter to turn me in to a star!

James looks across, off camera.

JHHIII: Time for change Simpson.

James runs behind the camera. The camera turns around to see Hot Stuff Mark Ward on the phone.

HS: Yes Kain, looking forward to it. Say hi to Ariel for me.

JHHIII: Mr Hot Stuff.

Hot Stuff turns to look at James.

HS: Ah, is this another set up from you and team Erik?

JHHIII: No, I want to talk. I'm not happy.

HS: So which one are you? Dopey, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful or Doc?

JHHIII: Not funny.

HS: Yeah it is.

JHHIII: It's not. I'm not happy, Team Erik treat me like crap, I'm sick of it!

A smile crosses Hot Stuff's face.

JHHIII: I want more respect and people won't give it to me.

Hot Stuff leans in.

HS: So you want me to give you respect.

JHHIII: No... well yes, I want to be a star.

HS: Nothing comes for free Sneezy, ever heard the term you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours?

JHHIII: Ummmm

HS: Have Snow White over there explain it to you and get back to me, ok.

Hot Stuff points towards Simpson and walks away as Simpson walks towards James.

JHHIII: What did he mean by that?

Simpson: You give him something he wants, and he'll give you something you want sir.

JHHIII: O... k.....

The scene fades to a confused looking James.




The scene cuts back to ringside as the fans anxiously wait in their seats when suddenly the PA system comes alive with "Cocky" by Kid Rock, drawing a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from the crowd. A few moments later, the curtain opens up and out walks Nick Jones wearing a rather expensive-looking suit. As Nick walks out onto the top of the ramp, he seems to be moving with a bit of a limp.

Simone: It looks like Nick is still feeling the after-effects of that injury he suffered at Hostile Takeover.

Adams: Yeah, he seems to be able to move around on his own alright, but it sure looks like it's not quite fully healed yet. It's probably good he doesn't have a match tonight.

Nick continues his way down the ramp and as he gets to the ring, slowly climbs his way up the steel steps and across the ring apron. Nick then climbs into the ring and walks right up to Justin Decent, who is quick to hand over his microphone and climb out of the ring. Nick then turns towards the audience and waits as his music eventually is cut off. Nick goes to wait, but stops for a moment to listen to the interesting mix of boos and cheers coming from the crowd. He shakes it off before eventually speaking.

Nick: I think it's about damn time everyone around here gets their facts straight.

That comment draws a few boos, but Nick ignores it as he continues on.

Nick: It seems like everyone around here keeps wanting to assign this greater meaning to all of my actions lately; whether it's the staff, the fans or those dipshit commentators.

Adams: I think he's talking about you.

Simone: Well I think he's a horses ass.

Adams: That's not very nice!

Nick: But the bottom line is, it's all a load of shit. There is no greater deeper meaning hidden behind everything I do. It's all right there in front of the world for everyone to see. I'm here to tell you quite simply, my actions have one, and only one point and purpose to them. My actions only have one motivating factor to them. My actions only have one meaning behind them. The answer always was, always is, and always will be... me.

The crowd responds with a much more distinct set of boos for Nick as he continues to speak.

Nick: It's true, my greatest concern of all, whether it is inside of the ring or outside of it, is me. I'm all about Nick Jones and nothing but Nick Jones.

Nick chuckles as the boos get louder and louder.

Nick: And thanks for showing the world the exact reason why. Because you useless nobodies aren't worth an ounce of my effort. And that goes for you just about every single lifelong loser sitting backstage right now too. You want to know what great meaning there was behind me stepping into that ring with Tom Dudely at Hostile Takeover? It's simple really, I just wanted to kick the ever-loving crap out of him, and I did exactly that. Now you may ask, why did I want to do that? Because Tom is nothing but a back-stabbing coward and I wanted nothing more than to put that little shit in his place.

Some cheers start to come back for Nick now, but he doesn't even acknowledge it.

Nick: Let's be perfectly clear about something. My desire to kick Tom's ass had nothing to do with who Tom was associated with, what team he was on or any of that other bullshit that people want to make this all about or can't shut the hell up about lately. It was about me, Tom and not one single other damn person. It should be pretty obvious that I'm not the only one who feels this way considering that tonight, my good buddy Jordan is going to get his shot at beating the living crap out of that sniveling coward too.

The crowd now bursts into cheers at this comment, which brings a look of disgust to Nick's face.

Nick: At least you morons are smart enough to know to hate that piece of trash, but trust me when I tell you, the very last thing I care about around here is the support of you useless piles of crap.

The tide quickly changes to loud boos from the crowd, bringing a smile to Nick's face.

Nick: As far as my so-called "alignment" or whatever nonsensical crap you all want to ramble on about, if you really want some evidence, which will point to the fact that I'm on absolutely no one's side but my own, all you need to do is simply to take a look at the biggest news in the entire wrestling world this week. Because you see, unless you're living under a rock, you saw the announcement of NeWA Lord of the Ring card. More than that, you saw the announcement of that show's main event. Screw that stupid team royal rumble nonsense, I'm talking about how the FORMER SCW Champion Spike Staggs...

The fans cheer at the mention of Spike's name, causing Nick to roll his eyes before continuing.

Nick: ... whatever, anyway, as I was saying... he will defend, and don't ask me how the hell this ever happened that he holds this, the NeWA World Heavyweight Championship. Against who you might be asking yourself? Oh that's right, he defends that belt against the #1 Contender, yours truly, the one and only... Nick Jones.

Another mixed reaction comes from the crowd in response to this.

Nick: Let's take a quick trip down memory lane shall we? As I'm sure you all remember quite well, I beat Spike the very first time the two of us met in an SCW ring, as I dominated over this company as the SCW Heavyweight Champion. Of course, even despite losing his title shot, I guess it helps being related to someone on the staff, because before you know it he's getting another shot at MY belt. Now let's be honest here, everyone knows I should have beaten Spike the second time around as well, but Spike managed to steal some nonsensical victory away from me and run off with my title.

More boos come from the crowd as Nick continues.

Nick: But that's not all. Oh no, no. The only reason Spike even had my SCW title as long as he did is because of one very simple reason... I never got my rematch. Jordan of course took care of business the moment he was given a chance, so at least the belt is back with someone who actually deserves it. As far as my issues with Spike, well now is the time to right all those wrongs. When all is said and done, I'm going to show everyone out there that Nick Jones is really all about Nick Jones. Sure, I've got a few friends around here, and I'll always have their backs, but when it comes to all these stupid little teams and who's on who's side? I could give less of a crap. I didn't give a crap what team Tom was on, I don't give a crap what team Spike is on, and I really could care less what team anyone else is on. All that matters is, when all is said and done, nothing will stop me from stepping into that ring against Spike, and nothing will stop him from walking out as...

Before Nick can even finish his thought, he is cut off as the PA system comes alive as "Where Eagles Dare" by The Misfits starts to blast throughout the arena and the fans erupt into a loud chorus of boos.

Simone: I think this is about to get just a little more interesting.

Adams: Erik must have forgot to tell Nick something the last time they talked... and the time before that.

Simone: Whatever that is, Nick already looks none too happy about this.

As Erik makes his way down to the ring, Nick is watching him with a scowl on his face, seeming to be a bit displeased with the fact that he was interrupted. Erik walks into the ring with his usual clipboard in hand, setting it on the turnbuckle nearest to him before walking over to the other side of the ring where he retrieves a microphone. He saunters past Nick and points to them as if to say “Now that is how you get a reaction.” He sits still for a moment, allowing the booing to die down before raising the microphone to his lips.

Erik: Let me address one tiny issue before I continue. The only reason Spike ever got close to the title which should rightfully be yours is because his lips were so far up Christian Underwood’s ass he was kissing the back of his teeth. The one and only thing Mark and I ever agreed on was this very fact, but what can we do? It seems that favoritism earns title shots, not skill...

Erik shrugs his shoulders as the fans boo. They start a Spike chant, but Erik isn’t having it this time. He loudly clears his throat into the microphone before continuing on.

Erik: While that needed to be said, I could give a shit less about that sniveling, over-grown brat. I came out here to address you, Mr. Jones. You see, it is no mere coincidence that you are getting this shot as soon as I am gaining power around here. I believe that hard work and determination should be rewarded, and so it was reflected in our rankings, and passed along to Mr. Batee himself... anonymously if you will *wink wink* I am not coming out here to pat you on the back though. Ohhh no, no, no...

Erik looks over at Nick who is about to raise the microphone to his lips, but Erik holds a hand up in his direction which elicits an annoyed glare from Nick. Erik holds his hand there for a moment to get his point across before he continues.

Erik: I came out here to ask you... Why are you such an idiot, Nick? Why? Now hold on before you boil over and have your minions attack me gang up style. It is a legitimate question. Every week, some big tough jerk off comes out here talking about how I am a powerless, cowardly, lying, moronic, “douche canoe” who isn’t capable of doing anything but fetching Mark Ward his coffee. They go on to say that the rebels are worthless and idiotic for following me. Those same people wind up getting their teeth knocked down their damned throats, and yet they are still lining up to defy me. Things are changing around here, Nick. Even my nephew, the self righteous prick he is...

Nick: It must run in the family...

Erik goes to stop him, but only matches it with a smile and a nod of agreement. He shrugs his shoulders before continuing on.

Erik: Even Spike Staggs jumped off of that burning ship, Nick. Even Mr. Do Right abandoned that cause. And it is because he realized it was useless. Maybe the boy inherited a few brain cells from our side of the family after all... See, you are in a predicament here, Nick. You have so much to gain, and you have taken so much abuse because you won’t join Mark’s anti-crusade, You are the prime example of why things need to change. You have been screwed out of your rematch, and you will continue to get pushed down in favor of Jordan Williams, which is slightly less embarrassing as being forced to sit in the shadows of Spike for five months. Since Tom saw the light, it is now your turn to be Mark’s bitch boy, and you don’t have the balls to stand up to him, do you? Do you?! Are you an idiot like Spike was? Like Kain is? Are you stupid?

The anger clearly starts to boil over with Nick as his face turns red while he stares down Erik. Nick raises the microphone up to his mouth but then stops, lowering it again as he starts to pace back and forth, rather quickly, all while keep his eyes constantly locked on Erik. Erik just watches Nick without showing a shred of emotion on his face, seeming to be interested in what Nick will do next. Nick eventually comes to a dead stop right in front of Erik, as the two men stand face to face with Nick staring straight into his eyes. Nick then lifts the microphone back up to his mouth and opens his mouth, but not a single word comes out from it.

Adams: It looks like Nick is left speechless!

Simone: Wow, I guess miracles really can happen.

Nick throws the microphone down on the mat and goes to turn away, causing some boos from the crowd as a huge smile forms across the face of Erik. Nick then stops in his tracks after getting a few steps away, and suddenly spins around and rears his arm back, looking ready to swing. However, Erik reacts quickly, dropping down to the mat and rolling out of the ring before Nick can get to him. Erik retreats up the ramp, looking back down to the ring at Nick the entire time with a smile on his face as taps himself on the side of the head, suggesting he's too smart for Nick. All the while, Nick stands right up against the ropes, staring down Erik with a look of fury in his eyes.

Simone: I think Erik really thought he had convinced Nick of what he was saying. For a second there, he very well may have, but instead it looks like he just made himself another enemy.

Adams: He's really good at that, huh?

Simone: I'd say it's one of his greatest strengths.




Lili is walking through the backstage area looking a little nervous. She's still wiping stray tears from her eyes. She walks up to a familiar door and takes a deep breath before she knocks. She almost jumps in the air when she hears a deep voice say "Enter". She swallows hard before she walks into the room and stops in front of Mark Ward's Desk. He looks up at her and smiles.

HS: Lili. It's strange to see you not with your brother. What can I do for you?

Mark gestures for her to sit across from him and she takes a seat with a sniff and pulls out a wad of tissues from her pocket and wipes her nose.

Lili: I normally wouldn't bother you with something like this... But it's my brother.

Lili breaks down into tears again and mark looks at her concerned. He leans forward and slides a box of Kleenex across the desk towards her.

HS: I know he's been a little off of his game lately, but I didn't think it would be anything to bring you to tears...

Lili sighs heavily and flips her hair out of her eyes, and as she speaks, her emotions get the better of her.

Lili: No... It's not his matches... It's... Well, it's him! Argento... He... He's acting so strange! And I know it has something to do with that... that sangue indietro puttana ladra cagna!

She brings her fist down on the desk and sits there, breathing heavily as she tries to regain control of herself. Mark's eyebrows raise at the intensity in Lili. He picks up the pencil holder that was knocked over as she'd hit the desk and gives her a moment to compose herself.

HS: Well now!... I didn't understand the last bit, but I could tell it wasn't anything nice...

Lili rolls her eyes and takes a deep breath, blowing it out slowly.

Lili: I said blood back whore thief bitch.

Mark nods slowly and sighs heavily.

HS: Aahh. I see. You're speaking of Gothika I presume.

Lili lifts her hand to bring it down on the desk again and Mark holds his hand out to stop her motion.

HS: Now before you take everything out on my highly expensive custom furniture... Why don't you tell me what's going on...

Lili pulls a few more tissues from the box and settles in to tell her story to Mark. ----------

Meanwhile... Argento is walking around backstage looking agitated. He stops a stagehand who is walking past with a clipboard.

Argento: Hey... Have you seen my sister?

The stagehand shrugs and shakes his head and moves to walk away, but Argento stops him with a hand on his shoulder.

Argento: I wasn't done talking to you. Have you seen Gothika?

The stagehand shakes his head and walks away from Argento who frowns and starts to follow him.

Argento: Hey!! I said I wasn't done talking to you!!

The stagehand starts to walk away a little faster, but Argento is keeping up with him.

Argento: How dare you disrespect me like this you snotty little piece of...

Another stagehand comes walking the other way, this one on a radio, relaying directions to others and Argento spins around and tries to stop him.

Argento: Hey!! Hey... you there with the radio!! Hold up! I need to talk to you!!

The stagehand stops and turns around and smiles at Argento.

Stagehand: Hi there Argento! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be off for this show.

Argento rubs his chin slowly and looks a little sheepish.

Argento: Yeah, I know I am, but I came here to see someone. Have you seen my sister?

The stagehand nods slowly, then lifts a finger when the radio chirps in his ear.

Stagehand: Just a second please... Go for three... Good, those go around to stage right... No, your other right... Yeah, by the scaffolding.

The stagehand turns back to Argento and looks apologetic.

Stagehand: Sorry, you know it's like a hive of honey bees right now. You were asking about your sister, right?

Argento nods and the stagehand holds up his hands.

Stagehand: I haven't seen her personally, but I've got a group out there that's been all over the arena. Don't worry, someone's sure to have seen her. Give me a minute, and I'll ask...

The Stagehand flicks a button on his radio and clears his throat.

Stagehand: Tango Alpha Foxtrot... Tango Alpha Foxtrot... We've got a code 459. I repeat, a code 459. I need eyes on Lili, come back.

The radio chirps and a garbled reply is heard, and the stagehand nods slowly.

Stagehand: Charlie Umbrella Gopher. Out.

He turns back at Argento who is shaking his head, looking confused.

Argento: What the what??!!

The stagehand smiles and shrugs.

Stagehand: Your sister was seen walking towards management offices. I'm sure she's over there somewhere.

Argento runs a hand through his hair and sighs heavily.

Argento: Thanks... That's a weight off of my shoulders. I was kinda scared she might have hopped in the car and left me here. But now I have something more important to ask... Have you seen Gothika?

The stagehand shakes his head and frowns.

Stagehand: I didn't think she was due to come in, but I'll see if we can locate her.

The Stagehand goes to flick a button on his radio but Argento holds out a hand and shakes his head.

Argento: No... no nevermind... I'll try to find her myself. Thanks.

Argento walks off again in search of Gothika.




The arena lights begin to dim down until the arena has gone completely dark. Then the opening to "Porn Star Dancing" could be heard playing throughout the arena. This caused the crowd to react a little bit. The moment the lights came back on there stood Kevin Carter at the top of the ramp just looking around the arena with a smug look on his face. It didn't take long for the crowd to start booing him, but he clearly didn't mind as he started to walk towards the ring.

Justin: Making his way to the ring at this time. He hails from Los Angeles, California. Weighing in tonight at 225 pounds, He is the Main Attraction: KEEEEEVINNNNN CAAAAAAAAARTTTTER!

Kevin had made his way up the steps and made his way across the ring apron. In a rather cocky manner he slipped through the ropes and went right to one of the corners. He proceeded to climb it to the second rope and held his hands out at his sides leaning his head back almost as if he was telling the crowd to bow to him. Seconds later he leaped down as he began to remove his jacket tossing it to the outside. That's when he leaned into the corner turning his attention to the entrance way as his music died down.

Justin: His partner is from Galveston, Texas, weighing 245 pounds ... Amazing Ace Baldwin!

"Who Dat" begins to start up in the first couple of bars, no beat, the lights begin to flicker back and fourth between a few colors before the music stops completely and the lights go out before the beat of the song picks up and you can hear the "Who dat, who dat" in the first lines of the song before the lights flicker to life and Ace Baldwin is standing at the top of the ramp to an eruption from the crowd. He bobs his head to the music as the song really picks up into the first verse as he bounces down the ramp and slaps hands on the way down before he stops in front of the ring and flips his hood off on the vest he is wearing and motions for the crowd to get louder before he slides into the ring and goes to the turnbuckle, letting out a warrior cry before he hops down, removes his vest and tests the ropes in the corner, letting the referee check his boots and knee pads.

Justin: Their partner is from Los Angeles, California, weighing 110 pounds ... Amanda Cortez!

The song "Feuer frei" by Rammstein is played and the revving of a Harley can be heard. slowly Amanda drives down to the ring, dressed in a really short and tattered jeans shorts, a belly free top and some really high heeled stripper sandals. The fans are booing at her, but it seems that she doesn't care what anybody thinks about her. As she reaches the ring, she shuts off her bike and slowly gets down from it. The fans are still booing, but Amanda only flips them the bird. Then she slides into the ring and kicks her shoes out of the ring. She jumps on the ropes in the corner, raises her arms in victory and yells some insults at the fans. Still both arms in the air, she makes the devil sign and then she jumps down from the ropes again. Now she rests her arms on the top rope and one foot on the bottom rope and waits for her opponent to come to the ring. It seems that she's completely relaxed and doesn't care about what happens here, but as she sees her opponent come down to the ring, a cold and deadly glare comes into her pretty face. She's completely focused and willing to destroy her enemy completely.

Justin: Introducing their opponents! From Queensland, Australia, weighing 126 pounds ... Odette Ryder!

“Oooh whatcha gonna now? Whatcha gonna do when the rhythm comes kickin you?” as the spine tingling sounds of Dimestone Hood blares across the personal address system the SCW arena fills with darkness. The sound of cheers can be heard as the majority of the male fans start hooting and hollering as they await the arrival of one of their favourite bombshells to emerge from behind the thick black stage curtain. “Breath life a disease gonna get you, off of me” as the lights start to flicker bright shades of blue, the curtain starts to open and slowly Odette’s dainty figure is shown standing at the top of the ramp. Biting her bottom lip Odette surveys the crowded arena, whilst simply placing her hands down by her side. Starting her short journey down the cold steel ramp Odette’s skin is covered in goose bumps as the crowd is cheering in appreciation. Sliding into the ring under the bottom rope the camera man can’t help but try to get a sneaky look down the front of Odette’s super tight top, noticing this Odette gives the camera a cheeky smirk. Jumping up to her feet she walks over towards the ropes, turning sharply just before reaching them, Odette hooks her arms around the top rope using the curves from her elbows. Pushing back on the ropes Odette’s piercing green eyes focus up towards the ramp as she awaits the arrival of her tag team partners as ‘Blood in my eyes’ fades from the PA system.

Justin: Her partners are accompanied to the ring by Synn! At a total combined weight of 426 pounds, Gabriel and Despayre ... SINFUL OBSESSION!

"The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around
So come on!

Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
So come on!

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious"

The pulsating beat of Muse's "Uprising" suddenly begins to play over the public address system of the arena and the crowd is on it's feet as atop the stage appears the tag team of Sinful Obsession aka Gabriel and Despayre, accompanied by the enigmatic Synn. Gabriel raises his hands up to the rafters as Despayre holds his teddy bear Angel up for everyone to see.

The group begins their descent down the ramp and towards the squared circle as the multitude of fans reach out to them on all sides. Gabriel slaps a hand or two along the way but his intent is solely on the ring ahead while Despayre holds Angel's paws and uses them to slap the hands reaching out to him, avoiding the touch himself. Synn hops up onto the ring apron and holds the ropes open for both of his men to step through and then sets foot inside himself. Synn then takes both men and brings Gabriel and Despayre back to their corner to wait for the start of the match.

Simone: This match has all the makings of a classic, if I can use an old wrestling cliche'. On both teams you have two of the top Bombshells in the SCW, and also on one side you have the former SCW Tag Team Champions, and on the opposite side, the current NWA World Tag Team Champions!

Adams: It's also all about the big war! Team SCW versus Team Erik!

Simone: Indeed it is. Thus far Team Erik has almost all the cards in his favor as all of the Bombshell Championships are on the side of Team Erik. We thought they also had the SCW Heavyweight title in their corner until Jordan Williams had the title returned to him.

Adams: That explains why Kevin Carter looks so miserable. And here I thought he was constipated.

Amanda sets foot out onto the apron and her partners are debating over who is to begin the match for their side, either Ace or Kevin. Kevin holds up his hands and takes a step back. Ace starts over when Kevin grabs him and shoves him back into their corner and he charges across the ring and attacks Gabriel, deciding for himself who would begin for Team SCW! The bell rings!

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!

Simone: Look at Ace! He does not look happy that Carter just pulled that trick to start the match!

Despayre and Odette hurriedly duck out to the corner as Carter drives a double axe handle into Gabriel's back from behind, sending him down to the mat on his knees. Kevin then grabs him by the arm and twists it into an arm wringer and he drives three knees up into Gabriel's exposed ribs. Kevin twists the arm again and then hurls him into the far corner and charges in, but Gabriel gets out of dodge and Kevin crashes into the turnbuckles -- the crowd cheers! Gabriel turns him around and mounts the second turnbuckle in the corner and he begins driving repeated fists into Carter's skull with the fans counting along!

"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Four!"
"Five!"
"Six!"
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
"Nine!"
"Ten!"

Gabriel hops down and Kevin staggers out of the corner but Gabriel doesn't allow him to collapse to the canvas. He grabs him by the arm and fires him off into the ropes and sends him high into the air with a high back body drop -- Carter crashing heavily to the mat on his back

Adams: He flew through the air with the greatest of ease!

Kevin falls back toward his corner and reaches for the tag but Ace acts nonchalant, not bothering to extend his own hand.

Adams: I guess Ace is still a bit peeved.

Meanwhile Gabriel tags Despayre into the ring and the smaller guy races across the ring and springs up onto Carter and brings him out of his own corner with a monkey flip. Carter staggers to his feet and Despayre goes for a second one but Kevin counters and throws him over his back but Despayre turns it into a sunset flip, bringing him over and down...

1.....
2..... Kevin kicks out!

Despayre grabs Kevin and he pulls him to his feet but Carter uses his heavier body weight to pull the smaller man back into his corner where he forcibly tags Ace. Kevin grabs Despayre into a full nelson and shouts for Ace to attack him but Ace shakes his head 'no' and instead grabs Despayre by the head in a side headlock and takes him over to the mat.

Simone: Yet another example of why I don't understand why Ace Baldwin joined Team Erik! He just showed a lot of class not taking advantage of Despayre while Carter held him.

Adams: Kevin's not too happy about that missed opportunity, either.

Despayre struggled and he pulled Ace over while still in the headlock, so that Baldwin's shoulders were on the mat.

1.....
2..... Ace rolls back, keeping Despayre in the headlock.

Despayre then uses his legs to ensnare Ace into a head scissors. Ace kicks his legs, trying to get free, and finally manages to do so, jumping over and grabbing Despayre back into the headlock. Ace is on his knees and Despayre pushes himself all the way to his feet. He uses the ropes to Irish whip Ace off into the far ropes. Baldwin comes off and shoulder blocks Despayre, knocking the smaller man to the mat. Ace then runs off the neutral side and Despayre leapfrogs over him. Ace turns around quickly and Despayre bell claps his ears.

Adams: I always *hated* that!

Ace staggers around, holding his ears and he falls forward against the ropes and Despayre runs off the far side and dropkicks him in the back, sending him over the top and to the floor! Despayre is a bundle of energy, hopping and jumping all over the ring until he turns around and tags Odette's outstretched hand.

Simone: It's time to see the Bombshells tear things apart!

Both Odette and Amanda dash into the ring and they go right for one another! Odette sweeps Amanda's legs out from under her and she starts hammering her in the head but Amanda quickly rolls her over and returns the favor, gripping her tightly by the hair with one hand and using her other to lay in the fists!

Simone: By Amanda's own admission, Odette Ryder has had her number in previous encounters.

Adams: Yeah well it looks like Amanda's not doing too badly this time around!

Amanda drags Odette up by the hair and Irish whips her into the near corner and goes in after her but Odette brings her legs up, scissoring Cortez's head. Amanda struggles and manages to turn around but Odette perches herself up onto Amanda's shoulders and takes her over in a victory roll, hooking both legs!

1.....
2....,. Amanda kicks out!

Odette has her up to her feet and sends her into the far corner and hits her with a Stinger splash. Odette then pulls her from the corner and sends her into the ropes and goes for a dropkick -- But Amanda holds onto the ropes and Miss Ryder crashes down on her tailbone.

Simone: That right there is going to change the course of this match!

Amanda grabs Odette's legs and somersaults over her into a bridge.

1.....
2..... Odette gets her shoulder up.

Odette starts to get to her knees when a standing Amanda lashes out with a strong martial arts kick to her sternum. Amanda then strikes one from behind to Ryder's back. Amanda drags Odette up to a standing position and goes for a third kick but Odette blocks it, grabbing her leg under her arm but Amanda counters that with an Enzugari to the back of the head!

Simone: What a shot! Did you hear that!?

Adams: Hear it!? I *felt* it!

Amanda grabs a handful of Odette's hair and drags her up into a full nelson. Using this hold, she proceeds to grate Ryder's lovely facial features over the top rope, eliciting a sharp cry of pain!

Simone: Right now Amanda Cortez is definitely serving notice to Odette Ryder!

Amanda turns her opponent around and Irish whips her off the ropes and jumps, bringing Odette over with a beautiful Hurricanrana! Ace and Kevin both cheer her on as Cortez goes for the cover, not hooking the leg.

1.....
2..... Odette kicks out!

Adams: Oh she really should have hooked the leg.

Simone: Had she done so, the match could very well have ended right there.

Gabriel and Despayre are clapping and stomping as Synn shouts into the ring, they and the fans rallying behind Miss Ryder! Amanda snapmares Odette over by the hair and buries her knee into the small of her back while trapping her in a rear chinlock.

Simone: Odette has got to get over to her corner somehow and get the tag!

Amanda pulls back so hard on the chinlock that she has Odette's back in an arched position. Tiring of this hold, Amanda drags Odette forcibly to her feet and scoops her up, delivering a hard body slam to the mat. Amanda then signals to her partners and they applaud as she goes to the near corner and climbs to the top. Amanda then signals to the crowd and launches herself back for a moonsault -- but Odette brings her knees right up into Amanda's stomach!

Adams: OHHHHH GOD! It sucks to be Amanda Cortez right now!

Simone: This is her chance! She needs to get over to her corner!

Odette rolls over and starts to crawl toward Gabriel and Despayre's outstretched hands as Amanda reels on the mat! Ace and Kevin shout but Odette uses a reserve of strength to dive over and tag Despayre's hand!

Adams: She got it!

Ace runs into the ring quickly and Despayre springboards over the top rope and catches Ace with a Hurricanrana! Kevin comes running in to interfere and Gabriel dives past his own partner and takes Carter down with a Thesz press, throwing fists into Kevin's exposed face! Jasmine orders Gabriel out of the ring as Kevin rolls out beneath the bottom rope as well! Despayre sends Ace into the ropes and catches him with a dropkick! Despayre then dashes into the ropes himself where Kevin delivers a knee to the small of Despayre's back from the outside! The crowd boos!

Simone: Oh come on!

Adams: Hey look! Ace did not appreciate Kevin interfering!

Ace storms over to his corner and the two men start shouting at one another as Amanda tries to calm them both down, playing the role of mediator!

Simone: Dissension on the side of Team Erik, but they need to pay better attention!

Adams: Yeah because Despayre just tagged Gabriel!

Gabriel races into the ring and dropkicks Ace right in the back, knocking him into Carter! Gabriel then grabs Carter and brings him over into the ring the hard way!

Adams: Did that count as a tag?

Simone: According to Jasmine it did!

Gabriel sends Kevin into the ropes at high speed and connects with a flying back heel kick! Gabriel grabs him by the arm and drives an elbow back into Kevin's head and brings him down with a side Russian Legsweep, rolling into a pin!

1.....
2..... Amanda races into the ring and jumps on Gabriel's back, breaking up the pin!

Gabriel stands up with Amanda dangling off his back and Odette runs in and grabs two handfuls of Amanda's hair and tears her off of her boyfriend! The two hellcats then begin exchanging blows in the middle of the ring with such ferocity that they loose their footing and crash to the canvas, continuing to trade blows!

Adams: To hell with a cat fight! That there is a HELLcat fight!

Kevin uses this distraction to kick Gabriel in the stomach and grab him in a front facelock, setting him up for a DDT when Despayre leapfrogs onto Gabriel's back and bites Kevin on the nose! The crowd is in hysterics!

Simone: Jasmine has lost complete control here!

Finally Ace has had enough and he is in the ring and prying Despayre off of his partner! Ace goes to swing for a clothesline at Despayre but the smaller man ducks out of the way and Stooge pokes Ace in the eyes! Ace staggers around, holding his eyes and the unorthodox grappler jumps on his back and he starts swinging his small fists into Baldwin's head!

Meanwhile, Kevin rakes Gabriel's eyes and goes for an Irish whip but Gabriel reverses it! Kevin comes flying off the ropes with a high cross body but Gabriel uses the momentum to roll all the way through into his own pin and he hooks Kevin's wildly kicking legs!

1.....
2.....
3!

The crowd explodes into cheers!

Justin: Here are your winners ... Sinful Obsession and Odette Ryder!

The brawl between Amanda and Odette comes to s screeching halt as Cortez stares in shock over the loss! Despayre drops off of Ace's back and hurries over to grab Gabriel in a hug as Odette raises his hand in victory! Kevin is shouting at Jasmine, accusing Gabriel of pulling his tights but she is having none of it and the decision stands!




The scene opens up backstage at Climax Control where we see SCW’s Heavy Metal Bombshell pacing back and forth inside the NXT locker room she is alone in the locker room with no one else around and is clearly still angry over her appearance on a news station.

Jessie: Ugh, this is such bullshit! How can he take that idiot’s side?!

Jessie muttered out loud before hearing the door opened.

Jessie: Jake, is that you?

Jessie asked but she doesn’t get an answer, she looks up and her eyes widened.

Jessie: What do you want Casey?

Casey: I wanted to just say that I am proud of you.

Jessie: What are you talking about?

Casey: I saw the way you reacted with that news anchor regarding Jeff Hanneman. Personally, I thought you came across easy to please people, but after seeing that explosion, it showed me a side of you I never thought I would ever see from you, and I am glad. You must have taken good notes from me when I freaked out on Spike Staggs when I was in NXT.

Jessie lets out an aggravated sigh as she leans against the wall.

Jessie: Well at least someone’s taking my side! Mark chewed me out for embarrassing SCW on TV and most of the other guys in Team SCW agree with……wait, are you trying to get me to defect?!

Casey: No, not by any stretch of the imagination. I was just saying I am glad that we see a different side of you, one that I know you have, but the cameras haven’t seen much of, the temper I know you have. If you are happy with Spike and those goons in NXT, so be it, but you know I wasn’t happy, and I left. Now I operate on my own rules, and in this feud between Team SCW and Team Erik, the only reason I am teaming with Erik is because the owners hold me down too much and I am sick of it. You think you saw me dangerous before, just wait. The best has yet to come.

Casey then gives a sinister laugh as Jessie looks bewildered at Casey’s words.

Jessie: Err…..yeah…..

Jessie trails off before hearing the bell sound on the TV, she turns around and realizes that the Six Person Tag Match has finished.

Jessie: I think you’d better leave before anyone else sees you.

Casey: You are right. I don’t want to keep my lovely wife waiting any longer, and I don’t want the guys in NXT to get the wrong idea.

Casey then leaves the NXT Locker room and heads back to his locker room as the scene fades to black.




As the cameras switch backstage, we find Bombshell Champion, and self-proclaimed Queen of the Damned, Misty, walking down the hall followed by her five disciples. Normally, they would be surrounding her protectively, but she is now taking the lead, as they follow behind her obediently and not speaking a word. She appears to be in a rather foul mood as they pass several people along the hall, ignoring the disrespectful looks they are given. They pass by a man leaning against the wall, but Misty stops quickly as she notices him from the corner of her eye. She holds up her hand, stopping her disciples, before she turns on her heel, and turns to look at the man standing against the wall, before she walks over to him, standing directly in front of him. She folds her arms across her chest, and her disciples watch on intently.

Misty: Well, well, well. Who do we have here?

Misty looks at the new NWA World Cruiserweight Champion, and ACW superstar, Simon Jones, then traces her eyes to the championship belt draped over his shoulder. He adjusts it before he looks at her with a polite smile.

Simon: What do you know...just the lady that I was looking for. I guess I should formally introduce myself, as until now we've not met face to face: I'm Simon Jones; the NWA Cruiserweight Champion. And it's a pleasure to meet you, Misty.

Simon extends his hand for a shake. Misty doesn't immediately accept, as she stares at the Cruiserweight Title over his shoulder, then slowly lives her eyes and locks her eyes on his. She reluctantly shakes his hand, and behind her, Ruby doesn't look too pleased.

Misty: I am well aware of who you are, Mr. Jones, but I'm a bit baffled as to why you are here in California at Climax Control.

Simon: I was invited, actually, and I couldn't turn down the invitation. The next ACW show isn't for a couple of weeks, so I had some free time.

Misty: Yes, as I am well aware of that as well. Congratulations on your big win, by the way. How thoughtful of Ben Jordan to have given you that title shot, right? Had he not, you wouldn't be holding that belt at this very moment.

Simon looks down to the Cruiserweight title, taps it with his hand and smiles proudly.

Simon: I can't deny that isn't true, but I'm not here to discuss that. I figured I'd use the opportunity to have a little chat with you about the next ACW show. After all, you're the special guest referee for my match against Mickey Carroll and I hear that he has had some things to say to you recently on Twitter.

Misty nods, sensing where this is going.

Misty: He did...last week.

Simon: I hope that won't affect how you officiate the match between he and I - I wouldn't want to think that anything he tells you might cause you to be biased in his favor.

Misty: Mr. Jones, Mickey Carroll can try all he wants to butter up to me in some fashion, but the fact remains...I'm not exactly a fan of either of you, so I have no intentions of favoring one of you over the other. He is best friends with Ben Jordan, a man I despise...and well you...you have a title I want.

Simon nods.

Simon: That may be true, but let me remind you that I've never said or done anything negatively about you. I've not had much reason to talk about you previously, but when I have, I've been very complimentary towards you: look back to February and March - I publicly stated, on at least a couple of occasions, that I wanted to see you reach the final of the Super J-Cup.

Misty gets a smug look on her face and lets out a slight laugh.

Misty: Yes, well I do thank you for that, but again, you hold a title that I want...and a title that sooner or later, I will get my shot at again. You and Mickey Carroll can go back and forth trying to get on my good side all you like, but it doesn't matter. I'll call the match as I see fit, and I WILL keep the both of you in line. So fair warning, play fair and we won't have a problem.

Simon: You won't need to worry about that, so we won't have a problem.

Misty: Great then. Is that all?

Simon: I think so. Oh, and good luck in your match against Roxi Johnson, by the way; I'm looking forward to seeing that match.

Misty lets out an arrogant laugh.

Misty: I don't need luck, Mr. Jones, but thank you anyway. I'll see you in Canada in a couple weeks.

Simon nods and Misty turns and walks away, snapping her fingers ordering her disciples to follow her. Simon leans against the wall again, watching as Misty disappears out of sight, before the scene fades away.




*GET READY FOR THE SMACK DOWN!"*

The lights go completely black, as white strobes flash on the stage. A red spotlight shines on the curtains as "Get Up" by Korn and Skrillex plays. Once the music picks up, Spike shoves the curtains aside, and walks out onto the stage. He smiles at the fans, who cheer, as he points out across the audience. His smile fades as he dashes down to the ring, sliding in underneath the ropes. The lights fade back on as Spike goes to the furthest turnbuckle, giving a pose before leaping off to land on his feet. He grabs a microphone from Justin Decent before he bounces between the ropes. He lifts his sunglasses up onto his forehead before pulling some sort of cloth from his jacket pocket.

Spike: How wonderful it feels to be back in the good old U…S…A! It was one hell of an experience traveling to South America, and one hell of a roller coaster leading to me standing in this very ring. If you followed along, then you will know that there is a reason I am only holding one title belt right now, and that is the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. We saw the title change hands twice in one night. Easy come, easy go, right?

Spike shrugs his shoulders and then winks at the audience who cheers wildly for him. He leans back against the turnbuckle, straightening out the cloth in his hands. We see it is none other than a Team SCW shirt. He holds it up high in the air, getting another round of cheers as he nods his head with a smile.

Spike: I have to admit, it was tough losing the SCW Heavyweight Championship. I held that belt for just shy of 6 months. I almost set a record there, but alas… The thing that made it all worth while was returning to the locker room and having the support of my fellow Team SCW mates. I understood at that very moment what it means to be on Team SCW… We stand for things that Team Erik couldn’t possibly understand. Concepts like family, loyalty, courage, integrity… honor, friendship, support…

Spike reaches his hand up to his eye, wiping at it, as if a tear were escaping his eyes. He holds a hand up as he takes a deep breath, composing himself.

Spike: When I think of my time on Team SCW, I think about all of the support I’ve received in those locker rooms. I think about all of the opportunities presented to me, and helping others to gain the same or similar opportunities. We function as one body, and with enough perseverance, we will overcome my uncle’s self righteousness! We can do it. We hold these key elements, and we can get on the same page to rid SCW of this cancer.

Spike looks out into the audience as they cheer louder than before. He nods his head, throwing his hands up in the air before hoisting the shirt up for the fans. He walks around the ring, getting the support behind him before walking to the center of the ring.

Spike: That sounds pretty inspiring, doesn’t it? I just inspired hope in you, right? When I heard those words with my own ears, it inspired me too… That is, until I found out that every single word of it was horse shit. Every word that came out of Mark and Christian’s mouth was just as much of a lie as the crap my uncle has been spewing all along. It is all about politics, and trying to see who has the bigger dick. It isn’t about us as superstars. It is about who will stroke their ego more. It sure as fuck isn’t me.

The audience goes quiet as Spike stops. He gets a sly smirk on his face as he holds the shirt up at eye level. He studies it before a scowl comes over his face. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Zippo, giving it a few good flicks before igniting a flame. He carefully runs the flame across the bottom of the shirt, setting it on fire as it slowly burns.

Spike: Where was this bullshit notion of unity and honor and respect when Jordan Williams blinded me with the Green Mist? Where was the INTEGRITY in that? Where was the support when Mark swore to get revenge against Kevin Carter for seizing an opportunity and pinning Jordan no more than ten seconds after I laid him out for cheating me out of my fucking title? I was the victim there, but nobody seems to give a good god damn about that, do they? All I hear is “Awww, poor Jordan got cheated.” Boo FUCKING HOO!

Spike flings the cindering shirt down to the mat. He sees the flaming Team SCW logo, and he simply responds to it by spitting on it. The fans don’t know how to react as Spike just shakes his head before wiping his mouth clean.

Spike: I feel sick to my stomach thinking about how I bought into that garbage. And before my uncle gets any bright ideas about coming after me to feed me his line of bullshit, I want him to take a good look at me. I want you to read my lips, Erik. There is only one team that I will ever represent from this day forward…

Spike opens up his jacket, pointing to his NXT shirt, pointing out each letter slowly for emphasis. Once he has gotten his point across, he drops the microphone in the center of the ring. “Get Up” begins playing as Spike walks through the ropes. The audience is in complete awe as Spike walks up the ramp with determination on his face.




Justin Decent: The following contest is for one fall! Introducing first, hailing from Chicago, Illinois, standing at 5 feet 6 inches and weighing in at 130 pounds, she is the Bombshell Champion… MISTY!!!

The lights in the arena go out. Thick gray smoke fills the backstage entrance where a spotlight now shines. The opening beats to "The World Belongs To Me" by My Darkest Days begins to play throughout the building. Several seconds into the music, the enigmatic figures of Misty and her disciples, fully cloaked in black robes emerge from backstage. Damien, Dante, Sebastian and Zane surround her protectively with Ruby following behind them. They slowly and methodically walk their way to the ring, ignoring the boos from the crowd. Once to the ring, Damien, Dante Sebastian and Zane enter the ring first. Misty waits at the bottom of the steps as Ruby walks past her, joining the brothers in the ring. She sits on the 2nd rope as Misty walks up the steps, then enters the ring with Ruby's assistance. Misty walks to the center of the ring, standing in between her disciples and holds her arms out. Ruby walks up behind her and removes Misty's robe, as their Queen looks around the crowd, smiling sadistically without a care. Misty's disciples bow to their leader, before exiting the ring, standing around the ring in support of their queen, as her music dies down and the lights return.

Justin Decent: And her opponent, hailing from Tampa, Florida. Standing at 5 feet 6 inches and weighing in at 132 pounds, she is… ROXI JOHNSON!!!

"Outsider" plays over the PA system. Once the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson emerges from the backstage area, She pauses at the top of the entranceway, soaking in the atmosphere. She stares ahead at the ring and begins a slow walk towards it. She pauses from time to time looking around the arena. After a moment, she steps on the apron, and enters the ring through the ropes. Once inside, she runs to the nearest corner, jumps on it, and raises her arms to the cheers of the audience.

DING! DING! DING!

Roxi raises her arms up in the air, getting the audience behind her. Misty scowls at this display, charging at Roxi with every bit of energy she has. She collides with Roxi, pounding her into the turnbuckle in a furious display of power on her part. She screeches at Roxi as she reaches down and picks her legs up. She tugs at Roxi, who holds onto the ropes with everything she has. Misty tries pulling her off into a Sitdown Powerbomb, but Roxi reaches her leg up and cracks Misty over the top of her head with it. Misty loosens her grip, and Roxi repeats the move, breaking free. Misty clinches her jaw in anger as she tries charging her once more. Roxi ducks down, allowing Misty to collide with the top turnbuckle. Roxi spins her around in her own fury and begins laying in punch after punch to her opponent.

Simone: Right out of the gate, Roxi Johnson has the advantage. She has a lot to prove, even thought she did very well in the Bombshell Mega Match.

Adams: She performed very well, hitting some very impressive spots inside of that cage.

Simone: Her team fell just a little short, but she is out to prove she is still a possible contender for Misty’s title.

Misty lets out a screech and breaks away from Roxi’s attack. She slaps Roxi across the face, shouting at her, only for Roxi to slap her right back. Misty refuses to take it and she slaps her right back. Roxi spins around, and on the rebound gets Misty right back just as ferociously. Misty reaches around and rakes at Roxi’s eyes. As Roxi grips her face in agony, Misty grabs onto her hair, tangling her fingers in it. She shakes Roxi around from side to side as Referee Jasmine St. John tells her to break it. Misty looks over at her and spits proverbial venom at her before taking Roxi and tossing her across the ring with a Hair Biel. She rakes the hair from between her fingers. As Roxi gets up, Misty charges at her with a clothesline. As Roxi gets back up, Misty hits another, and then another. On the last one, she drops down and begins hammering away at Roxi. She gives up and resorts to choking Roxi. Roxi grabs onto the ropes for a break, despite the illegal maneuver, but Misty won’t give up. Jasmine tries her best to get Misty off of Roxi, but the Queen just refuses.

Simone: Of course Misty has to cheat in order to stop the massacre that Roxi is putting down on her.

Adams: Cheating is not below the Queen. She is Team Erik where that seems to be a staple!

1!

2!

KICKOUT!

Misty claps her thighs together, crushing Roxi’s head in the process. She rolls backwards and both women get to their feet. Misty goes for another Clothesline, but Roxi ducks it and swings around with a spinning heel kick to Misty that makes her stumble back. Roxi bounces off of the ropes, but Misty picks her up into the air. Roxi clings on and swings down with Whirly Bird Head Scissors that sends Misty rolling across the ring. Misty holds onto her back as Roxi walks over to Misty. She bends down to pick Misty up, but Misty trips her up, landing her across the middle rope. Misty quickly gets up and steps back a few paces. She charges forward and drops her knee over the back of Roxi’s head. She grinds down on Roxi, choking her on the rope. Jasmine tries to break the hold, but Misty shoves her back!

Simone: Ohhhh, bad move there by our *air quote* Queen…

Adams: Jasmine is not happy about that one. She just pulled Misty off of Roxi Johnson with force.

Misty looks up at the ceiling laughing. Jasmine scolds her and Misty rears her hand back to slap Jasmine, but Roxi is right there to stop her. She spins Misty around, but Misty catches her with a chop. She sends Roxi flying across the ring with an Irish Whip, and then she rebounds, Misty comes flying off of the ropes with a Flying Plancha to Roxi that levels both competitors. Misty instinctively hooks the leg and Jasmine drops down for the count.

1!

2!

KICKOUT!

Adams: Barely a two and the Queen shows why she represents the SCW Bombshell division with pride.

Simone: And both ladies are quickly back to their feet. Despite what people might think of Misty, both women are putting on a Main Event quality match here.

Roxi takes a few steps back, never taking her eyes off of Misty, but Misty does the same, stalking her prey. Misty charges toward Roxi, but Roxi lifts her into the air. As Misty rises up, she breaks free of Roxi’s grip and flips back, planting a Dropkick to Roxi’s chest and sending her backwards. Roxi slides to the edge of the ring, sliding out for just a second to collect her thoughts. Roxi nods her head before playing to the fans once again, but Misty charges at her, readying herself to launch over the top rope. She sees Roxi moving, so she stops, but Roxi climbs onto the apron. They both exchange blows to each other, getting the fans riled up around them. Roxi hits a shoulder butt to Misty. Misty returns with a club to the back of Roxi. She hits one more and then tries lifting Roxi up for a Vertical Suplex. Roxi kicks her legs, landing back on the apron. She tries to repeat the maneuver to Misty, but Misty only gets half way up before grounding herself. She knees Roxi in the stomach and tries one more time, lifting Roxi up into the picture perfect Vertical Suplex position, only for Roxi to flip back. Misty growls and turns around with an elbow, but Roxi does the splits, avoiding it.

Adams: In order to be a real superhero, you gotta have flexibility like that…

Simone: Ugh, you are such a pig. I will admit that we just saw amazing agility by the Roxi Johnson there.

As Misty spins around, Roxi tucks her head between Misty’s legs. She flips up and surprises everyone by taking her down with a Hurricanrana. The fans cheer in approval on the outside. Roxi looks around and then flies back with a Standing Moonsault. She connects, but that isn’t enough. She stands at attention and then walks over to the ropes, climbing the turnbuckles to head up to the top. She poses for the fans, saluting them. This distraction gives Misty just enough time to get up and run over to the corner. She runs up the turnbuckles and surprises Roxi when she hits a Shining Wizard that sends Roxi falling backwards. Jasmine goes to check on her as she lands on the ring steps and tumbles down. Jasmine shouts at Misty to keep her distance, but Misty crosses her arms over her chest, looking pleased with herself. She dusts her hands off and then paces around the ring happily. Jasmine is almost frantic as Roxi barely moves. She nods her head and backs away to let her catch her breath.

Simone: Roxi is very lucky there. Out of the thousands of ways that could have ended terribly, she only got the wind knocked out of her.

Adams: And a few bruises I’m sure. Maybe some in… compromising spots?

Roxi slowly gets to her hands and knees, pushing herself to get up. As she stumbles to her feet, she bumps into Jasmine. As she looks up, she can’t react fast enough as Misty catapults herself over the top rope, colliding with Roxi and Jasmine at the same time! Jasmine stumbles back, but Misty and Roxi roll around on the ground, resorting to an all out catfight. Jasmine starts the count.

1!

2!

3!

Both women soon begin throwing fists, resorting to any form of violence either one can inflict upon the other. The fans are on their feet watching to two Bombshells rolling back and forth, cheering on the action.

Crowd: CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT!

4!

5!

6!

Simone: As hell-bent on winning the battle as Misty is, she might want to realize that Jasmine is getting up there with the count. If she wants to stand any chance of winning this thing, she had better get back in the ring.

Adams: Please Belinda, be quiet so I can enjoy the CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT!

7!

8!

Misty kicks Roxi off of her and then goes to plant her with a DDT to the concrete. Roxi spears her back into the apron as hard as she can. She does it once more to break it up and rolls inside of the ring as Misty holds onto her back.

9!

Misty rolls into the ring at the very last second. Roxi is there waiting as she stomps on Misty. Roxi looks down at Misty who is struggling to gain distance between the two. Roxi grabs a hold of Misty’s legs as she struggles as hard as she can. Roxi lays in a few good stomps before locking on a figure four leg lock. Misty yells out in pain, doing her best to endure it. She looks over to see the ropes are too far away to reach, and she can’t pull out of the tight lock. Roxi wrenches the leg tightly, in the center of the ring as Misty inches just a bit closer to the ropes. Jasmine asks her if she gives up and she furiously shakes her head “no” while shouting at her. Misty gets closer and closer to the ropes, but Roxi just breaks the hold herself. She dashes to the other side of the ring as Misty slowly brings herself up to a standing position. She rests on the ropes as Roxi goes outside to the apron. She poses for the fans as Misty slowly turns around. As she does, Roxi jumps onto the top rope and leaps off, a la West Coast Pop, and hooks the legs in the center of the ring. However, before Jasmine can drop down for the count, Dante and Sebastian climb to the apron.

Simone: Oh, this is pure bullshit right here. Misty could very well be finished, and her “disciples” have to interfere…

Adams: It is a smart move, even if it is cowardly. What do you expect from someone siding with Team Erik?

Jasmine runs over to the ropes to stop them from getting inside. The goad her along as Ruby slides into the ring with the Bombshell Championship in hand. She stalks Roxi from behind, waiting for her to turn around. Roxi sees that Jasmine has it under control and turns around toward Misty to get a face full of gold. She gives a second shot to put Roxi down and then she lays Misty over her before sliding out. Dante and Sebastian get called back by Damien, and they come down from the apron. Jasmine turns around and eyes Ruby suspiciously. She reluctantly drops down for the count.

1!

2!

3!

Justin Decent: Your winner… MISTY!!!

Ruby, Damien, Zane, Sebastian, and Dante slide in the ring, chasing Jasmine out of the ring as they help Misty up. “The World Belongs To Me” begins playing as Misty seems a bit disoriented. She stumbles around a bit before snapping. She begins screaming as the disciples kneel down before her, bowing their heads in respect as Misty snatches her Bombshell Championship from Ruby. She holds it high in the air as she points down to Roxi. The disciples stand up and grab onto her shoulders. As they lift her up, she leans back and kicks Zane in the head. She rocks forward, and then back to get Damien as well before rolling out of the ring. She eyes Misty, shaking her head and then pointing up to her title. Misty grins evilly as she rolls her eyes.




Argento is still searching the backstage for his sister and Gothika... All be it mainly for Gothika, and now he's obviously highly agitated. He almost looks like a cage animal hunting prey as he starts opening doors and calling Gothika's name. He stops one of the caters with a hand to his chest.

Argento: Gothika... you seen her?

The caterer shakes his head and stammers.

Caterer: Nnn... no... no I just got here. I'm refilling the refreshment table.

Argento moves his hand and motions him out of his way with a thumb over his shoulder and continues walking through the backstage area. He stops a grip who's carrying a bundle of wires.

Argento: What about you? Have you seen Gothika tonight?

The grip shakes his head and pushes past Argento who starts to growl in annoyance, putting his hands in his hair and tugging at it a bit roughly, making it almost stand on end. He roars out to the ceiling.

Argento: GGAAHHH!!! Am I surrounded by incompetent idiots tonight??!! All I want is to find one person!! Just one person!! Is that so hard to do?

One of the makeup artists comes by, and Argento grabs her shoulders and starts to shake her roughly.

Argento: Gothika!! Tell me you've seen her!!

The makeup artist shrieks and throws a container of powder in Argento's eyes, blinding him before she runs off down the hallway, screaming. Argento roars and tries to clear his eyes. Another caterer comes by with a tray of water bottles, and Argento stumbles into him, grabbing a bottle of water, knocking the rest to the ground, and pushing the caterer into a stack of cases. He opens the bottle of water and dumps it on his face to clear his eyes, roaring in anger and annoyance. The caterer is trying to get up and out of Argento's way, but Argento grabs the smaller man and bodily tosses him into the wall where the caterer simply crumples to the ground. Argento starts walking towards the back hallway where the management offices are, voicing his agitation loudly.

Argento: GOTHIKA!! GOTHIKA WHERE ARE YOU?!! GOTHIKA!!

The tailors and hair stylists are coming down the hallway and upon hearing Argento, they crush themselves against the walls to try and not attract his attention, but Argento grabs one of the hairstylists by the shoulders, getting right into his face.

Argento: Gothika!! Where is she?!! I know you know Vin... You're the only one she'd let do her hair that's working tonight!

The hairstylist shrieks, then faints to the ground, and Argento roars to the ceiling again.

Argento: GOTHIKA!!

He starts to punch the wall as he walks down the hallway, kicking in doors. You hear random grunts of protests, and a few feminine shrieks of surprise and doors are kicked open and he looks in each one, all the while screaming and roaring one word over and over again.

Argento: GOTHIKA!! GOTHIKA!! WHERE'S GOTHIKA!!

A stagehand carrying a case of equipment bumps Argento, and he finally snaps, and grabs the case from the man and hits him in the head with the case, knocking him down as he keeps screaming over and over again

Argento: GOTHIKA!! GOTHIKA!!

Seeing him hit a stagehand, other stagehands come and try to restrain Argento, but he's like a man possessed. Bodies are flying everywhere, and in the center of it all is Argento, still screaming. Argento's clothes get shredded, and he almost looks like the hulk in his tattered clothes, howling repeatedly.

Argento: GOTHIKA!! GOTHIKA!!

The door to Mark's office opens, and he and Lili start to walk out of the door together.

HS: Well, I think that my plan would be the best thing for Argento. Maybe he's just overly zealous about finding someone. Just a few weeks, and he should return back to normal, I'm sure of it.

They hear the commotion around the corner and look at each other and run towards the sound of the scuffle to find Argento covered in trainers, stagehands, and security, bodily dragging them down the hallway and tossing them off of himself one at a time while screaming and roaring the whole time.

Argento: GOTHIKA!! GOTHIKA!! GET OFF ME YOU SON OF A BITCHES!! GOTHIKA!!

Mark stands there, looking at Argento in shock. He holds up his hands and starts to shout over the commotion.

HS: THAT'S IT!! STOP THIS!! RIGHT NOW!! EVERYBODY OUT!! But not you Argento... You stand right there!

All of the stagehands and trainers start to back off away from Argento who is still looking around like a wild mad man, streaks of watered down powder marring his features, his arms raised above his hands. He looks around confused and finally sees Mark standing in front of him.

Argento: Gothika? You seen her?

Mark looks at Lili who crosses her arms and shrugs.

Lili: I told you.

Mark turns back to Argento and looks at the carnage that he's wrought just in that one hallway and throws his hands up in the air.

HS: I... I'm speechless!!

Mark runs a hand down his face slowly and takes a deep breath.

HS: Initially I was going to simply give you a couple of weeks off, but after this, I have no choice but to suspend you pending a psychiatric evaluation. You have obviously lost your bloody mind! Look at this mess!!

Argento looks around and blinks slowly.

Argento: Gothika?

Mark shakes his head and walks back into his office, slamming the door shut. Lili looks her brother up and down, then throws her hands up in the air.

Lili: Look at you!! What have you got to say for yourself?

Argento blinks again and puts his hands down to his side, looking around, then rubs his chest and stomach slowly.

Argento: Gothika??

Lili growls exasperatedly and storms off, leaving Argento standing there.




"Wanderlust King" hits the speakers and everyone is on their feet. The spot light finds Aleksei Koji dancing with an old lady wearing a Spike Staggs shirt. He grins and makes his way down to the ring, dancing a little as he does it. He rolls into the ring grabbing for a microphone.

Aleksei: Hello California! How are all you?

The fans cheer to the cheap pop. He takes a small bow.

Aleksei: I have come out here for very serious reasons. As many of you know I have little name for the boss man. Does anyone remember what that name is?

He holds the mic out and the party horde section yells out DOUCHE CANOE

Aleksei: ah yes that is it. For long time I thought that name suited Marky boy but now I think I acted too soon. Now this is not to say I am a fan of Mark. Oh no I find his accent annoying and he did kind of fire me.

A DOUCHE CANOE chant starts going and Aleksei laughs. He dances to the chant as if it was music.

Simone: is this making sense to anyone.

Aleksei: but I realized two things the other day. Thing the first is that Mark is a damn good fighter. He is tough, brutal and I have to respect. The other thing is this....He is not the biggest douche around here. Eric Staggs is much worse. He is a snake and a backstabber. He is sneaky, always hiding behind goons. In a fight, a real fight, he could never hold his own.

So it is my pleasure to announce the new DOUCHE CANOE....Mr. Erik Staggs. Let's give him big round of applause.

The fans love it. They are cheering and chanting while Aleksei is cheering him on. A loud DOUCHE CANOE chant kicks up and Aleksei laughs.

Aleksei: they are calling for you Erik!

Aleksei grins and rolls out of the ring. He heads back into the crowd and starts to dance.




The arena lights go dark as a British voice is heard saying "You Are About To Be Cancelled", soon afterwards the intro to "I Want It All" by Queen is heard and Matthew struts out wearing a referee’s shirt underneath his ring jacket as Freddie Mercury starts singing with Marty McFarge and the Skar Brothers by his side, as Matthew walks down to the ring he starts singing the chorus to the song until he reaches the ringside area where an attendant removes his jacket, once it's off Matthew hops onto the apron and looks out to the crowd with disdain before stepping through the ropes and waiting for the participants.

Justin: The following mixed tag team Special Guest Referee match is scheduled for one fall and will be contested under Roulette Rules, introducing the referee, “Prime Time” Matthew Kennedy.

Adams: Why don’t we ever get an entrance like that?

Simone: Because Matthew’s an active wrestler and we’re not.

Matthew waits patiently for the participants but he doesn’t have to wait long as the roar of a Tyrannosaur erupts over the PA system, echoing throughout the arena as the lights dim, eliciting a deafening cheer from the crowd. Mist rises from the floor in a hiss as the roar fades into Disturbed’s “Serpentine,” illuminated by lights mounted on the floor.

Justin: Introducing Team Number 1, the team of Thatcher Rex and Faith!

Emerging from the mist like an ancient force of power is Thatcher Rex, strands of hair hanging down to partially obscure his eyes. He glances first to the left as Faith joins him and then to the right before he and his partner stride down the ramp, gaze fixated upon the ring. Once he gets to the ring, he ducks between the top and middle ropes. Two strides later, he mounts the turnbuckle. His arms spread wide, fists clenched; Rex releases a phenomenal roar, much to the delight of the fans, whilst that goes on Faith slides into the ring whilst giving Marty the evil eye.

Simone: Thatcher can’t be happy about the fact that the Number 1 Contender for his belt is reffing the match!

Adams: Thatcher looks like he wants to come to blows with Matthew already!

Thatcher goes nose to nose with Matthew warning him to call it down the middle or else, Matthew merely smirks and motions for Thatcher to hand over the Roulette Title which he does reluctantly, rather than hand it over to the ring attendant however he slings it over his shoulder and raises his hands almost as if he has won the belt, Thatcher grabs him by his shirt and Matthew quickly hands over the title belt.

Simone: Thatcher is in no mood for Matthew’s mind games.

Adams: But if he’s gotten under his skin already how do you think he’ll handle himself in the ring?

The opening chords to Breaking Benjamin's "I Will Not Bow" start to blast through the speakers, as red and dark blue lights start to flash, the blue cutting through the red to create a purple effect. The fans boo as the lyrics kick in.

"Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't want to change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere"

Justin: And their opponents, first from Nashua, New Hampshire weighing in at 370ibs, The Freight Train of Pain Casey Williams!

Casey Williams appears at the top of the ramp, looking around at the crowd and not moving, his eyes burning holes through the crowd.

"All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away"

Casey lets out a roar, his arms out wide before he looks around the crowd, focused. The Freight Train of Pain starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head to look at the booing crowd, their thumbs pointing down. Casey shakes his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Casey puts his hand on the rope, and pulls himself up on to the ring apron and steps over the top rope, staring around at the booing fans. Casey raises his arms as the fans boo louder.

Simone: Matthew and Casey have a lot of history together as enemies but now they are allies.

Adams: Never thought I’d see that!

Matthew and Casey exchange a firm handshake and a grin before Casey turns his attention to the ramp awaiting the arrival of his Amazonian tag team partner, he doesn’t have to wait long as the lights in the arena go out, as a golden spotlight goes over the crowd, and comes to stop at the back of the stage, as "Black and Silver" by Xandria begins to play over the speakers.

Justin: And his partner, from the Isle of the Dead in Greece she is the Goddess of the Dead Necra Octavian Kane!

A black mist begins to roll over the stage and rampway, as two lines of men and women walk down to the ramp, and line either side, holding flags with a strange symbol on them. At the back of the stage, a golden barge appears with four well-built men wearing masks of Anubis, Osiris, Ma'at, and Apep on the four corners.

Simone: Not since The Fallen debuted have we had such a powerful and intimidating Bombshell!

Adams: And she’s in the NWA Cruiserweight Rankings! Those poor bastards won’t know what hit them!

Behind the barge is a man wearing a skull for a mask follows behind. They reach the ring, and the skull faced man moves to the side of the barge, removing the golden death mask from the Goddess of the Dead. She opens her eyes as she is helped up, and heads to the ring, as her followers fall to their knees. She walks up the stairs and steps into the ring. She raises her hands, as flames shoot up from each of the posts, as the lights go up, Marty has notably ran to the other side of the ring not wanting anything to do with Necra.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Okay, time to determine the match type!

Rocky appears on the titantron ready to spin the wheel, it spins for a few minutes before stopping on “Matthew’s rules”.

Simone: Matthew’s rules?

Adams: I don’t like this.

Matthew smirks quickly snatches the microphone from Justin and puts it to his lips.

MK: For those of you wondering what “Matthew’s rules” mean, well this is something that I discussed with Erik during the week; basically it means that this is a No Disqualification match.

The crowd goes nuts for the announcement and the two teams nod in approval.

MK: For the team of Casey Williams and Necra Octavian Kane!

The crowd’s cheers quickly turn to boos as they realize the implications of the match, Thatcher’s grin quickly disappears as it hits him and Faith looks even more worried about going toe to toe with Necra, Casey and Necra on the other hand simply can’t stop grinning as Matthew signals for the bell.

Simone: Matthew’s kidding right?!

Adams: I don’t think he is!

Casey and Thatcher start things off whilst their partners take up positions on the ring apron, Matthew takes a moment to give Marty and The Skar Bros instructions before turning his attention back to the action inside the ring as Casey has started brawling with Thatcher, Casey uses his size to his advantage and takes the Roulette Champ down with a Clothesline before going for a cover 1 2 kickout!

Simone: You can’t be serious! Matthew didn’t even attempt to hide that fast count!

Adams: Why would he?

Rather than argue with Matthew over it Casey starts firing rights and lefts at Thatcher’s head, however Thatcher manages to block one punch and starts fighting his way back to his feet, Thatcher forces Casey to the ropes where he whips him off and connects with a huge Spinebuster! Thatcher goes for a cover 1……………2…………Casey kicks out!

Simone: And now he didn’t even try to hide that slow count!

Adams: I think we all know who Matthew’s supporting in this match.

Thatcher glares at Matthew who is quick to remind him that he’ll disqualify Thatcher if he tries anything, Thatcher grunts in annoyance before running towards the ropes……only for Marty to pull down the ropes at the last minute sending Thatcher to the outside.

Simone: I think it’s clear what Matthew’s instructions to Marty and the Skar Bros where.

Adams: Yeah, screw over Thatcher at every opportunity!

The Skar Bros quickly put the boots to Thatcher whilst Matthew doesn’t even bother to apply a ten count instead choosing to berate Faith for some imaginary rule violation. Once Matthew’s back is turned though Faith takes the opportunity to climb the turnbuckle nearest to Thatcher’s beat down and hit Marty and the Skar Bros with a flying cross body! Faith manages to pick up Thatcher and roles him into the ring whilst quickly returning to her spot.

Simone: Faith just saved Thatcher from a world of hurt.

Adams: But at what cost!?

Faith quickly calls for the tag but Casey does his best to stop that from happening hitting Thatcher with several moves (not to mention getting several fast counts from Matthew), however after a few minutes Thatcher surprises Casey with a jawbreaker and a clothesline and is able to tag in Faith whilst Casey is instructed by Matthew to tag in Necra.

Simone: As much as I hate to say it, why isn’t Casey taking advantage of the rules?

Adams: Good question.

Casey makes the tag to Necra and Faith quickly starts brawling with the much taller Bombshell managing to hold her own for a few minutes. However Necra is able to surprise her with a kick to the stomach and a Military Press Slam!

Simone: Necra just slammed her through the mat!

Adams: Cue a fast count from Matthew……

Necra goes for a cover and Matthew does indeed apply a fast count, however Faith is able to kick out at the last second earning Matthew a death glare from Necra.

Necra: Count faster!

MK: I’m counting as fast as I can!

Faith takes advantage of the argument and rolls up Necra 1……….2……….Necra easily kicks out and this time it’s Faith who glares at Matthew, rather than argue with him however Faith goes to the ring apron apparently to attempt a springboard move, however she only gets as far as the “Springboard” part as The Skar Bros grab her and throw her against the guard rail!

Simone: Those bastards!

Adams: I don’t know what’s worse, that they are doing this or the fact that the rules are allowing it!

The Skar Bros put the boots to Faith before quickly rolling her into the ring. They turn around only to be met with fists from Thatcher!

Simone: Thatcher’s had enough!

Adams: But he’s outnumbered!

Thatcher manages to hold his own against the Skar Bros whilst Marty wisely stays far away from the action, inside the ring Necra has gone for a cover on Faith 1 2 but pulls her up before shouting instructions to Marty on the outside asking for a chair! Marty quickly complies and rolls one into the ring which Necra picks up.

Simone: Why does she need a chair?

Adams: Why not? It’s No DQ for her team!

Necra lines up a shot on Faith who’s struggling to get to her feet, Necra swings……but Faith ducks and dropkicks the chair into Necra’s face! She goes for a cover 1………………….2………………Necra kicks out! Faith isn’t about to let that stop her as she calls out for the Scum Buster! Faith gets Necra up……only to be hit with the chair by Matthew.

Simone: And he calls himself a gentleman!

Adams: Like it or not he’s playing for Team Erik’s side!

Necra uses the opportunity to hit Faith with the Mummification but Matthew tells her to send a message, Necra nods and locks in a Dragon Sleeper on a clearly unconscious Faith. She lets go after a few minutes and goes for an academic cover 1 2 3!

Justin: Here are your winners, Casey Williams and Necra Octavian Kane!

Simone: This was bull *bleep*!

Adams: Agreed!

The Skar Bros roll Thatcher, who has sub come to the numbers game, into the ring and Casey joins them and Matthew in putting the boots to Thatcher, Necra does the same to Faith but help comes from an unlikely source!

Simone: A fan at ringside has jumped the barrier!

Adams: And he’s in the ring! He’s just taken out the Skar Bros with a Double Clothesline!

The massive fan (literally), who is concealing his face with a hoodie, begins fighting off the Team Erik members who make their way up the ramp after a few minutes, security pours into the ring but the fan takes them out one by one, he launches one security guard into the air before catching him and hitting him with a powerslam and powerbombs another.

Simone: Where have we seen those moves before?

Adams: Don’t tell me that’s who I think it is!

The fan stands among the injured security personal whilst glaring at Matthew as he retreats up the entrance way, the fan removes the hood…..revealing a familiar sadistic grin.

Simone: Oh my god!

Adams: IT’S JASON BURNSIDE!

Jason quickly leaves the ringside area leaving the Team Erik members shocked.




Aleksei is dressed in his best. He has on his patchwork coat and top hat. He wears a "Team Christian" t-shirt. He knocks on Mark Wards door. While he waits he takes a sip from his flask. Mark opens the door and sighs.

HS: Really mate...your going to bug me tonight?

Aleksei: guess so boss man. Any word about other boss guy....the one who likes me?

Mark looks around and runs his fingers through his hair.

HS: come in man.

Aleksei does so with a little bow and flops in the chair. Mark closes the door.

HS: I am not sure where he is, that's the truth of it.

Aleksei: I might be able to help Marky boy. I am part of the unsavory lot as you know. I can ask around and pull in the favors.

HS: Than do it.

The two men share an uncomfortable silence. They look at each other not sure what to say.

Aleksei: is that it?

HS: you know what....no it isn't. Listen, you know I don't like you. I also can't seem to get rid of you.....and desperate times and all that.

Aleksei: Are you hitting on me?

HS: No you Romany bastard. I am asking you back to the ring. The truth you drive you mad but somehow have gotten better in the ring despite the drinking.

Aleksei: I like to think it's because of the drink...

HS: Shut up! This is a war and I need you on the front lines!

Mark glares at Aleksei who just shrugs. Then he smiles very big.

Aleksei: Ok Mark. You got me on the front lines. Why not! You know I love to fight....So line them up boss and I will kick all the asses.

Mark just shakes his head.




The ear-piercing opening rift of "Sleeping All December" breaks through the chants of the crowd.

GOOOOOOO!!!

Simone: What’s this!?

You burn the iron idol
I bathe in gasoline
We’ll hang these martyrs one by one
Inside the emerald master
I whip the traitor dogs
When death is served it’s all the same

Max Burke steps into the spotlight on the entrance as the crowd erupts in applause and cheers. Max looks out over the crowd, taking in the cheers.

Crowd: Welcome Back! Welcome Back!

Been sleeping all December
Storm winds bring frozen days
Can’t see this light before
Drown in a coloured haze

The young star makes his way to the ring, making sure to high five several fans.

Simone: Max Burke has returned!

Adams: Big whoop.

Simone: He’s been out of action since the vicious assault at the hands of Kain.

This flesh is not for keeping
Just a coat until I’m gone
I’ll die with it inside my cage
Baptized in blood servants
Drink up and fade away
Just another ghost in the machine

Max makes his way up the ring steps, and steps through the ropes.

Sleeping December
Storm clouds have frozen my eyes
Can’t see black for the blind man
Can’t see the light in the sky

He makes his way over to the far side of the ring, and calls for the microphone from Justin Decent. He taps the top of the microphone a couple of times.

Max Burke: Cut it.

“Sleeping All December” still blasts.

Max Burke: I said CUT IT!

The music stops abruptly.

Max Burke: First things first, thank you for the warm welcome back.

Max strokes his beard before continuing. He paces around the ring with a slight limp.

Max Burke: Kain, you thought you finished me off didn’t you? Not quite, bud. Good effort though. But, you’re not the reason I’m out here tonight. You can wait.

Max removes his suit jacket, and tosses it aside.

Max Burke: No, I’ve got bigger fish to fry first. So, I’m going to throw this out right now. I’m not medically cleared to compete yet. The key word there is yet. I’m rehabbing this little injury of mine every day. I’m bustin’ my arse every day to come back.

The crowd cheers in approval. Max puts up a hand to quiet the crowd.

Max Burke: There’s been a question that has been eating away at me since the night Kain jumped me, and took me out. It’s really been bothering me. I need an answer. No. I want an answer.

You can hear a pin drop in the arena, as the crowd is drawn in by Max Burke. Max slides his sunglasses off his face. The camera zoom in for a close up. The intensity in Max’s eyes speaks volumes.

Max Burke: Where were you?

Simone: Where was who?

Max Burke: It’s an easy question. Where were you?

Simone: What is Burke talking about?

Max steps up even closer to the camera.

Max Burke: Where the hell were you!? Yeah, I’m talking to you... Aleksei Koji!

Simone: Is he...

Max Burke: You dumb [BLEEP] Romanian! WHERE WERE YOU!?

The crowd falls dead silent.

Max Burke: You were supposed to have our backs. But, you didn’t. The last few weeks, you got all chummy with Ward and Underwood. You convinced Trevor that Team SCW was the way to go. You didn’t even consult me. Why wasn’t I included in that discussion!? Huh? Is it because I wasn’t the party animal like the rest of the clan?

Max’s face is turning red with passion, and fire in his eyes.

Max Burke: So, here’s what I’m thinking. You and me, in this goddamn ring on June 23rd. I’m told that’s when I’ll be cleared to compete. I want to test the big man from Romania. So yeah... I’m calling you out big man! See you on the 23rd BITCH!

Max throws down the microphone, and it bounces off the mat as “Sleeping All December” cuts through the silence.




The opening beat of drums is heard through the speaker, The fans instantly boo and cheer as a huge guitar rift starts to play as this pryo’s explode either side of the stage. Skid Row's "Midnight Tornado" Starts to boom through the speakers. The smoke starts to clear and Hot Stuff Mark Ward is seen standing on the top of the stage. He points to the fans on the left side of him, then to the fans on the right, and then clinches his fists. He starts to grind his hips as the rock music continues to blast out. He takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the ramp and does a double muscle pose, causing more pyro’s to explode behind him and the fans react louder. He slowly walks down the ramp, stopping every few feet to pose for the ladies in attendance. Hot Stuff walks up to the ropes and jumps over them, before running and jumping on to the ropes, his arms held high in the air, fans still booing and cheering. Justin hands Hot Stuff a microphone as the music fades

HS: Been one of those nights tonight, but there's been one thing burning in my mind. Earlier tonight, Erik Staggs asked me what I would put first, my friend, or my business.

Hot Stuff runs his hand across his chin.

HS: Friend or my business. People can call me a lot of things, but I am loyal, so I pick my friend.

Simone: Hot Stuff is giving up some power here to Erik Staggs?!?! What is he thinking?

Adams: He's trying to save his friend.

HS: So get down here and lets get this over with

The opening whir of “Where Eagles Dare” by The Misfits begins playing as Erik wastes no time coming from behind the curtains. He is quickly followed by Hawkes, Di Luca, Prime Time with Skar Brothers, and Ace Baldwin. He makes no theatrics about it as he carries his clipboard down to the ring. He holds it up, pointing at a contract as he rushes down to the ring, sporting his Team Erik shirt and a pair of jeans. He slides in the ring, followed by Giani Di Luca as the others wait outside as enforcers. Erik snatches a microphone from out of Justin’s hand, seeming almost exasperated by what is unfolding here. He pulls a pen from behind his ear and quickly signs on the contract. He hands it over to HS who scowls at him, slowly shaking his head in disgust.

Erik: You are doing the right thing here, Mark. We all are very concerned about Christian’s well being, and whoever it is that has captured him is a true psychopath. I just want you to know that I had nothing to do with this.

HS lunges forward, making a fist as he starts growling at Erik. Erik holds up his hands innocently as Giani steps between them. HS gets in Giani’s face as both men trash talk each other. Erik places a hand on Giani’s shoulders, pulling him back a few paces.

Erik: Whoa, whoa, whoa… Hold your horses John Wayne… I don’t think the captor would be too thrilled seeing this. I want to see Christian returned just as much as you do. It is a real tragedy, but cooler heads will prevail here. All this person wants to see is you signing this contract and then we will see Christian come down that ramp, safe and sound.

HS: You bloody sonuvabitch, I should kick your arse right where you stand.

Erik: You could try… and even if you were successful, there are six other guys around here who would love to see you try to fend off all of them. And to top it off, I don’t think we would be seeing Christian returning tonight. It is your choice, my friend.

HS grits his teeth together as he eyeballs Erik. He clinches his fist together angrily before snatching the pen out of Erik’s hand. He scratches his name on the line and then shoves the clipboard violently into Erik’s chest. Erik winks at him before looking at the contract. He laughs out in surprise, raising it in the air for the world to see. HS looks sick to his stomach, wanting to attack Erik, but he sees he is surrounded, and he slowly calms himself down. He looks out to the entrance ramp.

Erik: We have a deal, Mr. Ward! Now please, whoever you are, you can bring Christian out now as per the deal.

“Unbelievable” hits the speakers and the fans go crazy. Lights begin flashing as the attention returns to the stage. We wait… and wait… and wait, but there is no sign of Christian. The camera’s return to see a scowl on both HS and Erik’s faces. Erik looks at HS with a surprised look as if to say it isn’t his idea. The music dies down and Erik brings the microphone back to his lips.

Erik: *AHEM* I SAID bring Christian out you psychopath!

“Unbelievable” hits the speakers again and the fans go crazy. Lights begin flashing as the attention returns to the stage. We wait… and wait… and wait yet again, but there is no sign of Christian. Erik looks at HS with a bit of a smile on his face. He shrugs his shoulders, clearly amused now. The music dies down and Erik brings the microphone back to his lips.

Erik: I am a man of my word, Mr. Ward. But, it looks like whomever it is that has Christian is not. We could try the routine once again, maybe they got held up, and…

HS shouts out at the top of his lungs “YOU SONUVABITCH!” He begins swinging on Erik, but Erik surprises us by swinging back just as hard. Both men are going at it with everything they’ve got. Erik starts to gain the upper hand when HS hits a nut shot that doubles Erik over. Giani clubs HS’s back with several powerful blows. He sends HS into the ropes, taking him down with a Big Boot, but the boss does not give in that easily. He is right back up and catches Giani with a Red Hot that levels the stallion. Skar Brothers enter the ring, and HS hits a Red Hot on one, while the other picks him up in a Spinebuster. Ace and Primetime enter the ring, stomping away at HS as Erik gets up. James seems wary as he stands guard on the outside, looking at the ramp. Erik picks up his clipboard and shouts at HS angrily. He waves the clipboard in his face, shouting out “ALL OF SCW WILL PAY FOR THIS!” He shouts until the audience cheers loudly. Erik looks at the ramp to see Nick Jones charging down.

Adams: Nick Jones is here!

He Spears James into the ring apron before jumping onto the apron. Primetime tries charging him, but Nick does a Back Body Drop, causing him and the Skar Brothers to tumble over the top. Ace comes at him, but Nick shoulderbutts him in the stomach. Nick climbs inside and hits the Better Than You on him as Erik and Giani scurry out of the ring. Nick is quick to check on HS as Erik pulls Ace out of the ring. They help James and Primetime up as well while Nick points to himself and then to them, shouting at them. Erik waves the contract in his direction and then they walk off, seeming satisfied as they go.

Simone: It looks like we have a new major shareholder.

Adams: This is not gonna be a good thing. Better the devil you know then the devil you don't.

Simone: I think half the time, the devil takes orders from Erik Staggs



Justin Decent: The following contest is our main event of the evening! It is scheduled for one fall, and is a special GRUDGE MATCH! Introducing first, weighing in at 215 pounds... from Dudelyville, California... Tom Dudely!

“Kamikaze” by Five Iron Frenzy blasts throughout the arena and Tom Dudely soon bursts out to the top of the ramp to a huge chorus of boos. He feeds off of the crowd’s energy as he makes his way to the ring, mocking as many as he can along the way.

Simone: Dudely turned his back on Jordan, and now he’s going to pay for it.

As he reaches the bottom of the ramp, Tom gets a running start and slides into the ring. He hops to his feet and climbs the nearest turnbuckle to pose arrogantly for the crowd before hopping down to await the arrival of the SCW Heavyweight Champion, Jordan Williams.

Justin Decent: And his opponent, weighing in at 250 pounds... from Atlanta, Georgia... he is the current SCW Heavyweight Champion! He is “The God Of Professional Wrestling”... JORDAN WILLIAMS!!!

The camera pans around the crowd for a bit when "Subconscious" hits the PA System. The crowd erupts into a mixture of cheers and boos. The ever ominous Sasha walks out from behind the curtain first, standing with her hands on her hips as she glares at the crowd.

Simone: Wow... look at Sasha.

Jordan emerges from behind Sasha and the fans reactions grow louder. Jordan has the SCW Heavyweight Championship belt around his waist as he pushes his duster back, showing it off proudly.

Adams: Jordan definitely brought in an equalizer. She’s ripped!

Sasha begins walking down the aisle, with Jordan following behind her. Jordan has his arms up in the air, with his trademark smirk etched across his face. Sasha walks up the steps as Jordan climbs onto the apron. Jordan holds the ropes open for Sasha, but she just glares at him. Jordan shrugs his shoulders, then leaps over the top rope effortlessly. Jordan climbs onto the middle turnbuckle as Sasha climbs into the ring and stands next to Jordan with her arms folded, again glaring at the crowd, and Tom Dudely.

Simone: Sasha is staring a hole through Tom Dudely. He just has a sick smirk on his face.

Tom royally pisses off Sasha, blowing a kiss her way. Jordan takes off the SCW Heavyweight Championship and holds it proudly over his head as the fans shower him with cheers and boos. Jordan leaps off the turnbuckle and hands the title to Sasha. Jordan notices the stare down between Sasha and Tom. He steps up to the center of the ring draws the imaginary line for Tom Dudely to step up to.

Simone: The champ has drawn the proverbial line in the sand. Jordan’s none too pleased with Tom’s actions as of late, and he’s bound determined to unleash some punishment on Tom Dudely here tonight.

Tom steps up, and gets in Jordan Williams face.

Simone: Here we go!

Tom hauls back, and slaps the taste out of Jordan’s mouth.

Adams: Dudely fires the first shot!

Jordan fires back with a huge slap of his own that spins Tom around. Tom turns back around is met with a knee to the gut. Jordan grabs the back of Dudely’s head, and delivers repeated knees to the midsection. Jordan follows up with a front facelock.

Simone: Stiff knees from Jordan Williams.

Adams: He was throwing a little extra behind those knees tonight. Dudely will definitely be feeling those for awhile.

Jordan attempts a DDT, but Tom reverses by powering Jordan into the corner. He drives his shoulder hard into Jordan’s sternum. He follows up with a couple more before Jasmine steps in between, pushes Tom back. Tom drives a thumb in the eye of the champion as Jasmine’s back is turned. Sasha jumps up on the apron and gets Jasmine’s attention, explaining Tom’s thumb to the eye. While Sasha is arguing with Jasmine, Jordan takes advantage and returns a dastardly deed by swift kicking Tom Dudely between the legs.

Simone: LOW BLOW FROM THE CHAMP!

Adams: One of the almighty equalizers.

Sasha drops down off the mat, as Jordan stacks up Tom Dudely for a pinfall. Jasmine drops down to make the count.

1...
2...

Simone: Dudely kicks out!

Jordan follows up quickly, and pulls Tom to his feet. He sends him flying through the ropes, and to the floor below. Jordan gets the attention of Jasmine before she can start the count. Sasha quickly kicks Tom hard in the side. She drives two more kicks in swiftly, before backing away and out of view of Jasmine St. John. Jasmine starts the count.

1!

2!

3!

4!

5!

Jordan slides out of the ring, as Tom pulls himself to his feet. Jordan sprints towards Tom and drills him in the side of the head with a vicious knee.

6!

7!

Adams: BOMA YE!

8!

Jordan pulls the limp body of Tom Dudely up, and slides him into the ring at the count of nine, breaking the count. He quickly yanks Tom back to the floor outside. Jasmine yells at Jordan Williams, but he simply ignores the verbal warning. Jasmine restarts her count.

1!

Jordan attempts to Irish whip Tom into the ringside barricade, but Tom somehow gets his wits about him enough to reverse it, and send Jordan Williams back first into the steel.

2!

Simone: Dudely reverses!

3!

Jordan grimaces in pain from the impact of steel on flesh.

4!

Adams: These two have thrown the rule book out the window tonight.

5!

Simone: And Jasmine St. John is being lenient with the grudge match implications surrounding this match. Probably directions from the bosses.

6!

Tom throws a few closed fists into the skull of the SCW Heavyweight Champion.

7!

Jordan responds with several lefts and rights of his own. Jordan’s shots definitely have bigger impact on Tom Dudely being the bigger man in this battle. Tom doesn’t back down though. He fires back. Jordan grabs a hold of Tom and drives him into the edge of the ring.

8!

Both men attempt chokes on each other. They struggle back and forth. Jasmine St. John is inching closer and closer to the ten count.

Simone: Jasmine is giving these two a lot of leeway.

Sasha jumps up on the apron, and gets the attention of Jasmine St. John stopping the count momentarily. As the two argue, Tom and Jordan trade more lefts and rights.

Simone: This has escalated into an all out brawl which was definitely expected with Tom Dudely’s recent actions.

Adams: Sasha is definitely a factor in this match. I can see why Jordan brought her in.

Simone: She’s definitely earned her paycheck during this match.

Jasmine finally has had enough of Sasha and demands her to head to the back. Sasha is livid as SCW staff removes her from the ringside area. Jasmine St. John turns her attention back to Jordan Williams, and Tom Dudely who are still brawling at ringside.

Simone: Jasmine St. John has had enough with Sasha’s antics and has removed her from ringside!

Jasmine restarts her count at 9!

9!

Jordan and Tom pay no attention to Jasmine’s warnings. Jordan tosses Tom over the ringside barricade and into the crowd! He hops over the rail to continue the assault.

Simone: This one is over folks!

10!

DING! DING! DING!

Jasmine calls over Justin Decent, and delivers the final decision.

Justin Decent: Jasmine St. John has declared this match a NO CONTEST due to a DOUBLE COUNT OUT!

SCW security separate Tom Dudely, and Jordan Williams. As they are separated, Jordan returns through the crowd and hops over the barricade and in to the ring. Sasha climbs into the ring with the SCW Heavyweight Championship and a microphone. She hands both to Jordan. Jordan puts the SCW Title on his shoulder and he begins to speak.

Jordan: You know, when this whole “rebellion” started, Nick and I decided to keep out. I was too caught up in winning the SCW Championship to care about the rebellion. But over the past few weeks, this war has been brought to my front door. First with Tom turning on me during our tag match to join Team Erik and Kevin Carter and Erik Staggs devising a little plan to try to rob me, what is rightfully mine, the SCW Heavyweight Title.

Jordan pauses as the fans clap.

Jordan: The funny thing is Erik never tried to try to recruit me. He left me alone and that was fine with me. However, he did plot against me and I ain’t having that shit. Make no mistake about it, Supremacy is still my crew, Hot Stuff, Nick and I are still going strong, however, I can’t ignore this any longer since it has been made personal. When this first broke out, my best friend, Hot Stuff asked me if I would join Team SCW and I didn’t really give him an answer. Well bro, my answer is…the SCW Heavyweight Champion and God of Professional Wrestling…hereby announce that Jordan Williams will be joining Team SCW!!!!!!

The arena starts rocking as the fans erupt into cheers!

Simone: It feels like an earthquake in here!

Adams: Quick, get under the table!!!

Jordan: Team Erik, whatever plans you had just died tonight!

Simone: This is a HUGE get for Team SCW! Jordan Williams has officially joined Team SCW!

Adams: Ah man, we're out of time here.

Simone: We are, but you can join us again next week on the special episode fifty of Climax Control! See you there!
