Climax Control
<

The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Reno Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nevada. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.

"KAIN and GOTH - JUST CLIMB ON TOP OF EACH OTHER ALREADY!"
"JON DOUGH WHO!?"
"SIX BOMBSHELLS = 12 HOOTERS!"
"BIG TIGER IS GRRRREAT!"
"#BRINGBACKBODREAMWOLF!"
"#ONLYIFODETTEANDGABRIELRETURN!"

A spotlight then 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 fairgrounds at all of the fans filling the grandstand and the rows of seats around the grounds 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 Reno Sparks Convention Center right here in Reno, Nevada 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 fans cheer as Amanda shuffles out, dressed in a floral print mu, gray wig, nylons rolled down around her knees and wielding a cane. The crowd laughs and applauds as the music for "Livin La Vida Loca" starts playing...

Amanda: I get solicitations for cemetery plots
I hired statisticians to count all my liver spots

Each day a new prescription, more pills keepin' me alive
Got 20/80 vision, I still go out and drive

I might forget a simple task and ask you to explain
I might forget what I just said and then say it once again
You might think that I'm insane (I'm not!)

Shirt's on inside out, I'm havin' a senior moment
Made snacks from puppy chow, having a senior moment
I'm sitting still so long you might think I'm in a coma
It's just all about having a senior moment (Let's nap!)
I'm having a senior moment (Again!)
I'm having a senior moment

Woke up around four-thirty, wasn't sleeping very well
I had some pizza with pepperoni
And now I've got gas, oh what a smell

When you come by to visit, I'll describe my every pain
And I'll be sure to wear Depends, you'll never see a stain
Now please hurry back again (Real soon!)

Left the ice cream out, I'm havin' a senior moment
I can't hear so I shout, havin' a senior moment
I bathe just once a week, that explains the strange aroma
Kissed dog, pet the frau, having a senior moment (Confused!)
I'm having a senior moment
I'm having a senior moment

I'll go out for a walk along the well-marked circle lane
You'll follow me because you know that I'll just get lost again
It's as certain as the rain (I'm wet!)

I locked myself out, just havin' a senior moment
No day goes by without havin' a senior moment
So where am I at now, is this Maine or Oklahoma?
Guess I'll laugh about havin' a senior moment (Ha ha!)
I'm having a senior moment (Once more!)
I'm having a senior moment

(These days I gotta gotta watch what I eat)
(Keep my Beano near)

(I'm old!)

I'm having a senior moment
I gotta lotta "what am I doing?" moments
I gotta watch my RLTV

The crowd cheers as Amanda waves her cane menacingly and teeters backwards before catching her balance. She shakes a finger towards the crowd before turning around and shuffling back behind the curtains to applause.

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

Adams: And I'm writing this on Saturday night cause I was too lazy to go out tonight, but you can call me Jason Adams.

Simone: Writing? Saturday?

Adams: Yepidy, yep, yep.

Simone: Whatever you say Jason.

Adams: Write Belinda

Simone: If you say so.

Adams: Write so.

Simone: Let's start the intro shall we?

Adams: You mean we haven't already?

Simone: No but we're starting now, and starting the show tonight, the debut of Eric Steel, as the highly rated free agent signed with SCW last week and will start his SCW career against fan favorite, Jon Dough.

Adams: Dough has a chance to bounce back instantly after his defeat last week.

Simone: SCW Bombshell champion Gothika teams up with The Fallen partner Raynin, and Lizzie Short, to go against the team of Roxi Johnson, Emma Rose and Joanne Canelli.

Adams: Emma and Roxi teamed last week to go against Joanne Canelli, and now these three will have to put any feelings from last week to one side, if they wanna be victorious.

Simone: Last week, Jeremiah Hardin won the right to challenge Max Burke for the SCW Roulette title, tonight, this match happens live!

Adams: This is just Hardin's third match and he has one of the biggest chances of his career tonight.

Simone: The bitch of hardcore is in action tonight, as Jade Menendez-Arcador is in an SCW ring, as she takes on one half of the SCW Bombshell tag champions, Vixen.

Adams: Vixen can mix it up with the best of them when it comes to getting rough, and I know she won't back away from the challenge.

Simone: They once were enemies and they're still enemies but now they're being forced to team. Kain and Goth ripped chucks out of each other at High Stakes III, but tonight they team against the team of Nick Jones and number one contender to Goth's heavyweight championship, Giani Di Luca.

Adams: Giani has a chance to send Goth a message, but Goth has the exact same opportunity.

Simone: Main event time. Casey Williams and Simon Jones have been waring all over SCW, but thanks to the twisted mind of the SCW bosses, these two will team with a huge incentive, of the SCW Tag Team championships as they go up against the champions, Despayre and Rage.

Adams: Despy and Rage are going in to their first defense and I can't wait, so start your engines and go go go!




Darkside hits as the crowd gets to their feet and welcome the arrival of the newly crowned SCW champion. The fans are booing the man, but also some of them are cheering as he walks out to the ring. He has his ribs taped up and he is holding the championship belt proudly over his shoulder as he listens to the responses from the fans.

Simone: There is the man that beat Drake to become the two time world heavyweight champion. A man that has been plagued with injuries and even an attack last week!! What will he say tonight??

Adams: I am sure that he is going to just sit out the tag match, have a beer and go to Hooters for some fun

Simone: You are surely joking right??

Goth tells the people in the back to cut his music as he puts the microphone slowly to his mouth.

Goth: People are wondering what is going on with Goth lately? And I will be honest with ya, NOTHING!! The only thing I am showcasing to the world that it is me that is still the centrepiece of this great sport. People tell me I am no longer the great wrestler, that I am no longer relevant. That I am lazy, that I have not achieved anything!!! And to all of you I say one thing…. Your full of S***

Simone: Wow!!! We don’t have to go there now do we???

Adams: So he needs to go? Big deal, I need to go every day.

Goth: Wrestlers that claim to hold the key to success claim I have gone soft, people in the back running this dump are using others to attack me. I am sure that Mark and Chris hired some goons to run me out of business, after taking down their golden boy and take this belt. And what did they do this week? Sit down with me at the hospital and force me to wrestle… as if I am a coward that runs away from responsibilities?? Oh no, I am going to fight. I will beat the number one contender and his girlfriend Nicky. And then?? Then I am going to take matter into my own hands…

Goth pauses

Goth: You see Mark and Chris, I am going to be sending an open challenge to those bitches you send to me. I am going to beat them down at their own game when I have the opportunity to do so. And you know, I know exactly who to take with me to do so.

Goth looks at his championship belt and then at his taped ribs

Goth: You hear me people? You may hate me, I could care less. You may respect me, fine. But I am here to fight, every single week. Defending this championship belt and when the smoke has gone down and everyone are on their backs gasping for air… I will be standing, with this championship belt. Holding it high above my head, with our without pain. I will be your champion, the very first ever triple crown champion in the history of this company… and I will be wreaking havoc whether you like it or not…. BOSSES!!!

Goth drops the microphone as he heads to the back as the fans react to him in different ways.

Adams: Wow, he is surely pissed!!!




The crowd has been brought to a fever pitch with all of the action tah's been going on, and they're ready for more. And the Angels of the Fallen are not about to disappoint. They've just pulled up in Darknyss's black Escalade, and the looks on their faces scream action. The trio are being accompanied by their friend, Diamond as they walk through the backstage area. Darknyss stops to check on Raynin who is looking of inot space for the moment, chewing on one of her fingernails and rocking back and forth, talking softly to herself as she stands there. Darknyss speaks softly in her ear, and Raynin's attention snaps to her friend, and she nods quickly, straightening her clothes and brushing stray fly aways of hair from her face. A stagehand sees them walking, and he runs over and stands in front of the group of women, stopping them in their tracks.

Stagehand: "Ladies, I'm sorry to stop you, but I have orders. You need to report to Mr. Ward's office before you can be allowed to set foot in the arena."

Darknyss sighs heavily and puts a and up to the bridge of her nose, rubbing it slowly.

Darknyss: "Look, we don't have time to deal with this shit right now... My girls have a match tonight, and they still need to get changed and warm up before they step into the ring. Do you really want to be held responsible if something should happen and one of them gets injured because of your incompetence?'

The stagehand stands there, looking firmly at Darknyss and shakes his head.

Stagehand: "I'd only be incompetent if I didn't follow the express instructions of Mr. Ward, who has asked me to escort you to his office. Now ladies, if you will please follow me. This way."

Gothika growls deeply in her throat and steps forward, balling up her fists, and is about to say something, but Darknyss puts a hand on her shoulder and shaeks her head slowly.

Darknyss: "Look, the sooner we go and see Mark, the sooner we can get this over with and we can get to our dressing room and get ready."

Gothika closes her eyes, and lifts her fist up and brings it down sharply in her other fist, making the stagehand jump slightly as a cold sweat breaks out on his face. She growls again and turns back to the stagehand.

Gothika: "Alright, let's make this quick. I'm itching for the chance to get my hands on Roxi Johnson again."

The stagehand nods and turns around, and they all walk off down the hallways towards Mark Ward's office.




Justin: Ladies and Gentleman, please give a warm welcome to our debuting Superstar who is already in the ring... hailing from Toronto Ontario Canada, weighing in at 219 pounds... he is Eriiiic Steel!!

Eric is seen standing inside the ring jumping from side to side completely ignoring the fans, sending them to hurl a chorus of boos in his direction.

Justin: And his opponent from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 245 pounds... Jooooonnnn Dough!!!!

Jon waits for the lyrics to start and holding a mic in his right hand he walks from behind the curtain singing the lyrics to the song while he high fives as many fans as he can till he hit’s the ring. He then slides from under the button ropes. Gets on his feet and gets on top of one of the turnbuckles and hold the mic up in the air while the crowd sings the chorus

Ding, ding, ding!

The match starts off with a massive flying cross body from the new comer Eric Steel, knocking Jon from his feet and sending him crashing to the canvas below. The Cocky Canadian is quick to capitalize by tossing Jon’s head into the canvas before unleashing a fury of left and right closed fists to his masked face. Jasmine is warning Eric to play by the rules but he ignores her sending the loyal Sin City Wrestling fans into a chorus of boos. Eric quickly jumps off of Jon and walks around him as he recovers throwing his hands up in the air disrespecting the fans.

Adams: Tsk tsk, so disrespectful.

Simone: Eric Steel is just trying to make a name for himself tonight Jason.

Jon Dough looks as if he is going to get back to his feet but Eric comes flying in with a beautiful drop kick dropping the rookie to the mat once again. Jon doesn’t stay down for long as he looks to make a recovery by Eric arm drags his opponent back to the mat, before locking him in for a powerful arm bar. Jon doesn’t even flinch at the pain he is in as Jasmine checks up on him. Eric is reaping Jon’s arm back as far as it can possible going demanding that Jon tap out.

Simone: Eric showing a ruthless streak tonight, I think the rest of SCW should keep an eye on him.

Adams: He sure looks like he means business.

Simone: It’s almost like he is trying to break Jon’s arm!!!

Jon doesn’t tap in fact he makes it to his feet lifting Eric up who refuses to let go of his arm and drills him back first into the canvas with a modified power bomb. Eric releases Jon’s arm on impact and quickly tries to make it to his feet but Jon comes crashing down with a leg drop to the back of Eric’s neck. Eric’s face makes contact with the canvas hard and Jon quickly makes a cover.

1...

2...

No! Not even close Eric kicks out and rolls away from Jon. Jon makes it to his feet but he is favouring his right arm. Eric spots this and is quick to drag Jon down by his arm once more. Eric goes for the arm bar again but Jon is smart enough to kick Eric out of the way. Jon makes it to his feet but he is caught by Eric who crashes in with a belly to belly Suplex dropping him firmly.

Simone: Eric is quick Jon needs to think of something to counter here and fast!!

Adams: Give him time Lindy...

Simone: Don’t ever call me that again.

Adams: Sure thing, B-Shi

le.

Eric leaps up to his feet victoriously and turns around, with his back to Jon he looks for a standing moonsault but just as he is about to make contact Jon lifts his knees up. Eric lands on Jon’s legs and shouts out in pain as he rolls over babying his spine.

Adams: This doesn’t look good for Eric now.

Jon gets up and stalks over to Eric, bending down he lifts Eric up and is quick to deliver an uppercut to his face. Jon proceeds to lock up with Eric in the centre of the ring before placing him in a side headlock. Holding on tight Jon runs with Eric’s head tied up to his side before tumbling down with a bulldog. While Eric is down Jon starts to lay swift kicks into his side, while Jasmine is cautioning him. Stepping away from Eric Jon follows her direction, while motioning the fans trying to rally them up in support.

Simone: I love a good guy.

Adams: I thought the ladies loved the bad guys?

Simone: Nope, SCW needs more good guys like Jon Dough.

Adams: I can be good.

Jon turns his attention back to Eric who is making his way back to his feet, Jon starts to run towards Eric and looks for a powerful clothesline but Eric ducks out of the way. Jon bounces off the ropes and spins around and almost gets his head kicked off by a Super-kick by Jon is able to duck out of the way and turns sharply catching Eric’s head and painfully driving it to the canvas with his finishing move Silent Nightmare (RKO) Both Jon and Eric drop to the canvas and Jon makes the cover.

Ding, ding, ding.

Adams: Jon Dough has done it!!!

Simone: What a beautiful Silent Nightmare!!!

Justin: Here is your winner.... Jooooooooonnnn Douuuuughhhh!!!!




The scene opens up backstage at Climax Control where we see “The Prodigy” Lizzie Short alongside her manager Marty McFarge and her bodyguards The Skar Bros., Lizzie is getting a drink from a nearby vending machine whilst the three men keep an eye out for trouble.

Lizzie: You know boys, I can look after myself!

Marty: But then you’d get lonely and have another make-out session with Jessie…..wait, why am I preventing that?

Lizzie rolls her eyes at his comment as she orders her drink.

Lizzie: You’re just jealous that I can actually get laid!

Simone: Ouch, I felt that burn over here!

Adams: I could’ve felt it a hundred miles away!

The Skar Bros. smirk at Lizzie’s comment before turning to her just as she bends down low to get the drink giving the three men (and the viewers at home) a nice, long shot of her ass in the process.

Simone: It appears that Jason Adams has lost the ability to speak coherently for a few minutes, please stand by.

Marty: Guys, remind me to thank Matthew the next time I talk to him.

The Skar Bros. quickly nod their heads in agreement as “Stoner” Scott Oliver approaches them.

“Stoner” Scott Oliver: Lizzie, can I ask you two questions?

Scott asks and Lizzie sighs.

Lizzie: Pussy Willow too busy?

“Stoner” Scott Oliver: Something like that, anyway why did you interfere in the Bombshell Roulette Title match last week?

Lizzie: Why not? Besides I want a shot at that title and I’ll get it sooner or later, I just want it to be against Mercedes because she’s hot!

Marty: Did I ever mention how I’m the luckiest manager in existence?

Lizzie: About a million times, I’m guessing your next questions about my match later on?

Scott nods and Lizzie smirks.

Lizzie: Teaming up with The Fallen? We’ll be unbeatable! Even against the combined talents of Roxi Johnson, Emma Rose and the Jersey Devil Diva and besides, Gothika already beat Roxi at High Stakes III and I’m sure she’ll beat her again!

Marty: And I think it’s time for the match! Next time, send Pussy and Rocky so that we can get a potential threesome going!

The group walks off leaving Scott behind.




The SCW Tron shows Lin Ting Lu with the masked man that was at last week’s show dressed in a ninja outfit. There in FoShan, China there walking on an open farm land. Behind them is a family of ducks that have seem to take a liking in Lin Ting Lu. The two stop and the ducks stop along with them.

Master Lily: You know Jon can’t wait to see The Five Elders in a SCW ring.

The masked man nods at Lin Ting Lu.

Master Lily: The crowd at Club LAX last week seemed impressed with you.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

The masked man nods at Lin Ting Lu.

Master Lily: I will be having Jon Dough fly back here to FoShan right after this week’s Climax Control. Last week he took on Brother Grimm. A match he lost. He lost for more than one reason.

The masked man folds his arms across his chest.

Master Lily: I know that everyone saw the woman who came down at ringside. Her presents was enough to distract Jon Dough but I noticed he look a little out of his comfort zone.

The masked man moves his right hand up to his face. Resting his chin between his right thumb and index finger.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

Master Lily: You see, Jon Dough last wrestled in a regular 4 sided ring. SCW is a 6 sided ring. I think he needs to get used to the difference of the ring size and shape.

The masked man nods and gets in a tai chi stance. Starts to perform the standard movements.

Master Lily: Yes are right Tai Chi can help with mental awareness. I will have him work with you on that. In exchanged he can give us the ring measurements so we can create our own here.

The mask man stops doing Tai Chi and nods at Lin Ting Lu.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

The masked man notices that something else is bothering here. He stops walking and stares at Lin Ting Lu.

Master Lily: Is everything ok?

The masked man shakes his head no.

Master Lily: what’s wrong?

The masked man points at Lin Ting Lu.

Master Lily: Me? There’s something wrong with me?

The masked man nods yes.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

Master Lily: No I’m ok

Lin Ting Lu starts to walk but the masked man grabs her arm. Lin Ting Lu stops and looks at the masked man who is nodding no to her.

Master Lily: Sorry I guess… No never mind.

Lin Ting Lu tries to start walking again but again gets stopped by the masked man. Lin Ting Lu turns to the masked man again. The masked man drops to the floor and sits down in a meditation lotus pose. Lin Ting Lu smiles and drops to the floor also going to a meditation lotus pose. The masked man takes in a deep breath and then slowly releases the air back to the world. Lin Ting Lu then does the same.

The ducks get in the middle of the masked man and Lin Ting Lu and sit as well.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

Master Lily: It’s not something here that is bothering me it’s something in SCW. It has to do with one half of the SCW Bombshell Tag Team Champions. Misty to be exact. I really shouldn’t say any more. At least not right now.

The two get up and the SCW Tron fades out




There's a knock on the door, and from behind it, a familiar voice calls out a single word.

"ENTER!!"

The door opens, and the angels of the Fallen follow the stagehand into the office of Mark Ward. The stagehand is about to speak, but Darknyss grabs him by the back of the collar and tosses him out, slamming the door shut behind him. She turns around and frowns at Mark Ward as he sits behind his desk. Her gaze does not overlook the fact that Christian Underwood is lounging in a chair in front of Mark's desk. She takes a deep breath and tries to keep the annoyance out of her voice.

Darknyss: "Alright Mark, what the hell is this all about?"

HS: "Well hello to you too Lady. I just wanted to check in with you before you and your girls decide to go crazy out there and remind you of a few things."

Darknyss frowns and takes a menacing step forward, pointing her finger at Mark, causing Christian to lean back warily away from the threatening digit.

Darknyss: "Look Mark... We don' have time for all of this. YOU were the one who had Raynin committed, and then you pull her out of the hospital for a match after they've pumped her full of GOD KNOWS WHAT in an effort to try and handle something that they have no clue about!! It's taken us this long just to get her to be able to focus long enough to shower! Now you expect us to have her go out there and wrestle! It's a good thing she's been trained enough that she can wrestle even if she IS doped up to the gills!"

Mark brings his fists down on the desktop so hard, it sounds like a cannon shot and stands, bringing his own pointing finger to bear.

HS: "Well if you could have kept a handle on your bat shit crazy birds, then I wouldn't have had to call in the white coats!! Now I'll remind you, she's being released into your care, and only for as long as she doesn't go off attacking people again! If she steps even 1 foot out of line, or hurts 1 person outside of the confines of your match, it's back to the looney bin for her!"

Raynin steps forward slowly, her face twitching randomly. She walks over to the desk and leans forward, putting her hands on the desk. As soon as her hands touch the wood top, the twitching stops, and clarity sinks into her eyes as she gets right into Mark's face. An evil chuckle rumbles out of her throat.

Raynin: "Don't you go worrying your pretty little face off about what I might do outside of the ring Mark. You should be more worried about what I'm going to do INSIDE of the ring. And so should the idiots you convinced to sstand against Gothika and I tonight. I'm about to have a lot of fun ripping them apart."

She snaps her teeth at Mark, and he flinches away from her. Raynin chuckles again and the twitching starts again in her face. Mark's face turns red and he points to the door.

HS: "Get out. NOW!!"

Gothika steps forward and puts her hand on her friend's shoulder and the Angels of the Fallen turn to exit, but Mark holds a hand out, pointing at Diamond.

HS: "Wait... You stay... Christian and I need to talk to you for a bit. Everyone else... out."

Diamond pats Darknyss's shoulder as the rest of the group head out the door, and it closes behind them.




The bell rings, signifying the next match is about to begin. Referee, Jacob Summers, takes his spot in the corner while Justin Decent stands ready for the introductions.

Justin: The following contest is the six bombshell tag team match! Introducing first, accompanied by Marty McFarge and the Skaar Brothers, from Watford, England, weighing 140 pounds ... The Prodigy Lizzie Short!

The guitar intro to “Love Bites” by Halestorm begins to blare over the PA System and once the vocals hit Lizzie Short comes out with Marty McFarge and the Skaar Bros. by her side, she marches down to the ring and enters it whilst waiting for her partners.

Justin: Her tag team partners are accompanied to the ring by Darknyss! At a combined weight of 300 pounds, Raynin and the current reigning SCW Bombshell Champion, Gothika, collectively they are The Fallen!

The lights go out, and a bass line starts to thump over the PA and we hear the opening guitar riffs of Dethklok's 'Black Fire Upon Us. On the titantron the image of three flaming balls of light streak through an image of the night sky as the music continues. The strains of the music plays over the PA as on the titantron, the three flaming balls rocket towards an image of the earth and the camera angle switches so it looks like they're coming straight towards the screen. They strike the same spot with a bright flash and three shadowy figures step out of the brightness.

"Tonight We Ride On Clouds Of Fire
We're Damned By Gods Our DETHS Conspired
We Fear No Mortals In These Worlds
The Gift We Give You Is Your Soul

Fly With Us Tonight
Fly With Us Tonight"

The lights start to strobe to the beat of the music and we see the angels of The Fallen standing on stage looking confident. Gothika, Darknyss and Raynin stand on stage and raise their fists in the air looking around confidently before the lights come up completely. They go from one side of the stage to the other, talking junk to the crowd and throwing their fists in the air.

"The Sky
Will Break
Black Fire
Will Wake

Fly On Through The Night
We Built An Allience
Our Numbers Are Strong
We Gather
But We Don't Prey To Gods
What Fools What Lunitics
They Must Think Of Us"

Gothika, Raynin and Darknyss come back to the center of the stage and pose once more before they start to walk down the ramp to the ring.

"But Now We Must Fly
Beasts In The Night
Tragic In The Sky
Battlefield In Sight

Storm Gathers Strong
Cold Blackend Flame
Tell Us Our Future
Stories Of The Slain"

Darknyss stops at the center of the ramp as Raynin and Gothika each walk around opposite sides of the ring. Gothika slides under the bottom rope as Darknyss climbs up onto the edge of the apron and steps through the second rope and Raynin climbs the far stairs and grabs the top rope and flips over the rope.

"Dangerous Creatures
Those That Oppose Us
Raped All Their Power
Bartered With Warlocks
Cheated The Demons
For Ancient Spells
The Blackened Fire
Waits To Consume Us"

Raynin and Gothika each climb a corner throwing their fists in the air and pumping them to the beat of the music as Darknyss stands in the center of the ring, pointing at them and talking junk to the crowd, nodding. Raynin and Gothika jump down and switch corners, trying to hype up the crowd before they jump down and stand beside Darknyss, waiting for the match to begin.

Adams: That is one hell of a team standing right there.

Simone: It is a strong one, no question about that. Former tag champions, the current Bombshell champion, and one of the brightest young stars in the SCW in the Prodigy, Lizzie Short.

Jacob finishes checking a reluctant Lizzie as Marty berates the poor official.

Justin: Introducing their opponents! First from Dunedin, New Zealand, weighing 128 pounds ... Emma Rose!

"Able to Love" by Benny Benassi starts playing across the building's sound system and the crowd cheers as Emma Rose steps out onto the stage, smiling as brightly as ever. She points out across the building before jogging down the aisle, slapping hands with the fans. She jogs up the steps and springs over the top rope, standing across from her opponents.

Justin: Her partner is from Jersey Shore, New Jersey, weighing 135 pounds ... she is the Jersey Devil Diva, Joanne Canelli!

The house lights go down, as a spotlight goes over the crowd. As the spotlight comes to a stop at the back of the entrance way, as "Run This Town" begins to play. A picture of the Italian Flag appears on the screen with the letters F.B.I over the flag, with the words "FULL BLOODED ITALIAN" is written underneath. It soon changes to scenes of mob hits, newspaper clippings from just recent to the late 1900's, but soon changes once again, to shots of the Mafioso, sitting in a large office, and in limos, and in arena's from times since past. The spotlight focuses on four figures standing at the back of the ramp. This is Joanne and her bodyguards. They make their way down the ramp with Joanne in the middle with Reno and Rude on either side, and Scarpaci following behind, , talking among themselves ignoring the crowd around them. When they reach the ring, Reno holds open the ropes for her, as she slips inside, only to follow behind and stand in the middle of the ring, around her. She removes her jacket, and hands it to one of the guys, before they head out of the ring.

Adams: Somehow I don't think Marty or the Skaars will be butting into this match with those four outside of the ring.

Simone: If they did, it'd end up being their swan song.

Justin: And their partner is from Tampa, Florida, weighing 132 pounds ... 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.

Simone: Right there stands the former Bombshell champion.

Adams: And if she has her way, she'll be the champion a second time.

Jacob finishes checking Roxi and then he orders all seconds from the ring. Darknyss, Marty and the Skaars exit on the one side, and Joanne's bodyguards on the other. Raynin and Gothika elect to step out onto the apron, as Joanne, Roxi and Emma confer to which one of them will start. Suddenly Lizzie races across the ring and attacks Canelli from behind!

Simone: It looks like the Prodigy is deciding for them who'll be starting against her.

Roxi and Emma quickly exit as Jacob calls for the bell.

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!

Lizzie clubs Joanne in the back, knocking her to her knees, and then proceeds to slam a series of forearm smashes down across her back. She then pulls Canelli to her feet and rakes her eyes, then doubles her over with a boot to the stomach.

Adams: Lizzie's really using some dirty tactics against Joanne, isn't she?

Simone: I'm sure the prodigy knows about the reputation Joanne Canelli's made for herself in SCW and she's going to use whatever tactics that she can to break her down.

Lizzie grabs a handful of Joanne's hair and runs her face right into the top turnbuckle in the far corner. Then grabbing another handful of Canelli's chestnut tresses, Lizzie drags her face across the top rope, resulting in her opponent shrieking in pain from the rope burn. Lizzie then drapes her throat over the top rope and chokes her, smiling and counting along with Jacob as he issues his count.

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

And Lizzie jerks back on the top rope, throwing Canelli back to the canvas. The Prodigy poses to the jeers of the crowd and approval of her tag team partners. Lizzie, fueled on by her partners' applause, grabs the downed Joanne Canelli and jerks her roughly up off the canvas. She tries to run her head into a corner a second time, but this time Joanne puts on the brakes. Joanne then grabs Lizzie by the hair and slams her face into the corner once - twice - three times as the crowd rallies behind her! Joanne turns her around, and keeping her hands entangled in Lizzie's hair, she snapmares her over twice at top speed, and then whips her around on her feet and heaves her right through the ropes and out to the floor!

Adams: I think Lizzie pissed Joanne off!

Simone: Well the prodigy made a very big mistake if she thought she could use tactics like that against the Jersey Devil Diva without retribution.

Joanne tries to go out after her but Jacob heads her off, preventing it while Lizzie stalls for time and to catch her breath. Joanne backs off just enough for Lizzie to creep inside and hurriedly tag Raynin into the match. The crowd boos as Lizzie rolls right back out and Raynin climbs inside of the ring.

Simone: What a storied career Raynin has had since she first arrived in Sin City Wrestling. Bombshell Champion, Tag team Champion...

Raynin steps up to Joanne and the two women get nose to nose until Raynin slaps her across the face.

Simone: What disrespect Raynin is showing Joanne Canelli.

And Joanne reacts the same way, hauling back and slapping Raynin. Raynin then swings wildly, but Joanne ducks under the blow and she lets loose with a flurry of lefts and rights into a surprised Raynin's head. Joanne then grabs her and brings her into her corner where she tags in Roxi Johnson, much to the crowd's delight.

Adams: Here comes the former champion!

Roxi vaults into the ring as Raynin returns to her feet and the superhero dashes over and lays her out with a dropkick. Roxi runs off of the ropes and repeats the maneuver, dropkicking her a second time. She grabs Raynin and goes for an Irish whip but Raynin reverses it. Roxi comes off and Raynin goes for a sidewalk slam but Roxi catches her in a head scissors and throws her over. Raynin staggers to her feet and falls back into a corner where Roxi runs in and lands atop her opponent with an avalanche splash. Roxi grabs her and brings her up and over with a Northern Lights suplex and bridge pin.

1.....
2.....
Raynin kicks out!

Simone: A woman Raynin's caliber is not going to be pinned so easily.

Roxi pulls Raynin to her feet and twists her arm into an arm wringer before tagging Emma Rose into the match. Emma climbs in and drives an elbow down into the exposed arm, before twisting it again, and then a second time. Emma ducks under and backdrops Raynin to the canvas, then stands up and guillotine legdrops Raynin's arm.

Adams: Emma's pretty smart, going to work on Raynin's arm.

Simone: Well Raynin is one of the strongest women in SCW, so she needs to negate that strength advantage.

Emma holds her arm tight as Raynin forces her way back to her feet. Raynin then grabs a handful of Roses hair and drags her backwards, close enough to her own corner where Gothika tags herself in.

Adams: Talk about size and power! Gothika is a freaking amazon!

Simone: And she's the Bombshell Champion on top of that.

Gothika steps inside of the ring as Raynin holds Emma in the corner and Gothika lays in a boot to the smaller woman's midsection, knocking the air out of her body. Gothika then brought her foot up into Emma's throat and choked her out as Raynin ducked outside. Jacob demands Gothika break the choke but it only makes the champion grit her teeth and choke her out even harder.

Simone: Come on Jacob! Do your job!

Jacob does so and begins his count.

1...
2...
3...
4...

And she finally stops choking her opponent before the disqualification. Gothika brings Emma from out of the corner and she throws a wicked clothesline into the smaller beauty, nearly decapitating her. Gothika looks down on her and places a foot on her sternum and points to the official.

Simone: Oh how degrading.

1.....
2.....
Emma easily gets her shoulder up off of the mat.

Adams: Did she seriously think she'd get the pin like that?

Simone: Doubtful. I think she's looking to teach the rookie a lesson in humiliation.

Gothika grabs Emma by her arm and drags her to her feet, tagging Lizzie back in. Lizzie jumps in and gleefully slaps Emma across the face, knocking her around on her feet. Lizzie then grabs her in a rear waistlock and brings her up and over in a bridging German suplex.

1.....
2.....
Emma gets her shoulder up.

Lizzie drags her up into a corner and goes to Irish whip her into the far side, but Emma counters with a reversal. Lizzie jumps onto the middle turnbuckle and leaps back off for a high cross body, but Emma ducks and Lizzie crashes down onto the canvas. Lizzie holds her chest as she gets to her feet, and Emma rebounds off of the ropes and brings her down face-first with a one handed bulldog!

Simone: Now tag! Emma needs to tag!

And Emma does so, reaching out and tagging Roxi Johnson back into the match.

Adams: Have you got a hidden mic in that ring, or what?

Roxi climbs to the top of her corner and lets out a yell as Lizzie stands up and turns around -- and Roxi leaps off onto her with a Thesz press for the pin!

1.....
2.....
Lizzie kicks out!

Simone: The Prodigy is showing she is definitely made of sturdy material.

Roxi jumps to her feet and grabs Lizzie's legs, looking out to the cheering fans. Lizzie begs off but Roxi steps through and turns her opponent over into a painful sharpshooter, going for the submission! Lizzie screams and pounds the mat as Marty shouts encouragement to his charge. Roxi cranks on the pressure, leaning back, and Lizzie refuses to tap out at Jacob's repeated requests.

Raynin then steps through the ropes, prompting Joanne and Emma to do the same. Jacob jumps up and ushers the two faces back, and this allows Gothika to jump in. The champions runs off of the ropes and delivers a big boot right to Roxi's face, knocking her off of Lizzie before ducking back out.

Adams: Raynin's distraction did the job.

Simone: That it did. It allowed Gothika to take the advantage away from Roxi and get her team the advantage again.

Lizzie drags Roxi up by the hair and drives her down with a face buster. She rolls Johnson over and hooks her leg in a cover.

1.....
2.....
Roxi kicks out!

Lizzie argues with the referee, slapping her hands rapidly three times. She then grabs Roxi by the boot and drags her over where she can tag Raynin. Raynin steps in and grabs Roxi in a front facelock and suplexes her over. She retains the front facelock and suplexes her over a second -- and then a third time. Raynin stands up and smiles, taking a position at the fallen superhero's side and Raynin hits a standing moonsault into a cover.

1.....
2.....
Roxi gets her shoulder up.

Adams: You can't keep a good superhero down!

Simone: There is definitely fight in Roxi Johnson still.

Raynin quickly tags Gothika. They Irish whip Roxi into the ropes where Gothika scoops her up in a fireman's carry as Raynin jumps off the ropes with a spinning neckbreaker.

Simone: The Fallen definitely have the advantage in teamwork in this match.

Raynin climbs out as Gothika comes off the ropes and drops a leg down across Roxi's throat and face. Gothika covers her and hooks the leg.

Adams: is this it?

1.....
2.....
Joanne Canelli runs in and drags Gothika off, breaking the count!

Simone: It is not, thanks to Joanne.

Gothika stands and starts to go after the Jersey Devil Diva who does not back down from the larger woman while Jacob tries to force her to leave the ring. He finally wards her off as Gothika slams Roxi back into her corner and tags Lizzie in. Gothika scoop slams her rival down to the mat, and Lizzie climbs to the op and sails off in a diving body splash onto Roxi. Lizzie hooks the leg and counts along!

1.....
2.....
No! Roxi kicks out!

Lizzie yells "WHAT!?" and Marty shouts at Jacob from the outside. Lizzie stands up and stares at Jacob who insists it was just a three count. Lizzie drags her up by the hair, into position for a powerbomb and she drives her down and folds her into a jackknife cover!

1.....
2.....
And AGAIN Roxi Johnson manages to kick out!

Lizzie throws a fit, screaming and pounding her fists into the mat!

Adams: Temper tantrum much?

Simone: The rookie thought she had Roxi Johnson but she couldn't have been more wrong.

An infuriated Lizzie Short grabs Roxi and fires her off into the ropes with an Irish whip! Lizzie swings for a clothesline but Roxi ducks under the blow, rebound and...!

Adams: Spear!

Roxi dives right into Lizzie with a spear, knocking her clear back! Both women are down and Jacob starts his count!

1...
2...
3...
4...

Both Roxi and Lizzie begin to stir!

5...
6...

The two downed women crawl to their corners!

7...
8...

Lizzie tags Raynin!

9...

And Roxi tags Joanne!

Adams: Here we go!

Both fresh women jump into the ring and charge right at each other and a wild brawl ensues right in the center of the ring!

Simone: Oh the fans are just loving this!

The larger Raynin gets the advantage on the Jersey Devil Diva and she backs Canelli against the ropes, laying in the shots to the head! Joanne then grabs Raynin by the hair and drags her back around against the ropes and she returns the favor, swinging hard right shots at her opponent as Jacob tries to get them off the ropes! Raynin ducks down and sweeps Canelli's legs out from under her and hammers away at her opponent on the mat!

Simone: I can not believe the brawl we are witnessing between these two women!

Adams: It's great, isn't it!?

Jacob tries to forcibly separate them but their fight knocks him down and the two hellcats roll right on top of the poor official, continuing their fight!

Simone: Oh poor Jacob!

Adams: That's the risk you take as an SCW referee! Our Bombshells are W-I-L-D!

The two women get to their feet, both with large handfuls of the others' hair as their fist brawl has devolved into a catfight! They pull and tug each other around the ring, using only the other's hair as a handle -- until Joanne gets the leverage and she whips Raynin over and across the ring by the hair! The crowd is cheering wildly!

Adams: Nothing is loved more than a good catfight!

Joanne tags Emma back into the match and the two women each take an arm and send Raynin into the ropes where they catch her with a double backdrop! Raynin crashes hard on the small of her back! Emma whips Raynin into the far corner and jumps in, bringing her out with a monkey flip! Raynin staggers to her feet and falls back into another corner and Emma runs in and jumps for another monkey flip -- but this time Raynin blocks it and Emma falls back hard! Raynin folds her in half and places her own feet on the ropes!

Adams: No way!

1.....
2.....
Joanne runs over and knocks Raynin's feet off the ropes, breaking the count!

Simone: The save is made!

Raynin jumps up and screams out at Joanne, leaning through the ropes and taking a swing at her but Canelli avoids the blow! This distraction allows Emma to roll Raynin up from behind!

1.....
2.....
No! Raynin gets her shoulder up!

Emma goes to pick her opponent up, but instead Raynin picks her up around the legs and rams her back into her own corner where she tags Lizzie back in! Lizzie snapmares Emma over and delivers a swift kick right into her back. A smiling and confidant Lizzie goes for an Irish whip into the ropes but Emma reverses it. Emma goes for a backdrop but Lizzie jumps over her for a sunset flip! Emma rolls right through, jumps to her feet and dropkicks Lizzie low, right in the face! Emma quickly covers her!

1.....
2.....
Lizzie gets the shoulder up!

As Emma goes to grab her, Lizzie cuts her short with a thumb to the eye.

Adams: The great equalizer!

Lizzie grabs the blinded Emma in a side headlock. Emma backs her into the ropes where Roxi Johnson makes the blind tag. Emma sends Lizzie into the ropes and drops down, and Lizzie hops over her and right into Roxi's catapulted Hurricanrana off the top!

Simone: What a move!

Roxi covers Lizzie and hooks the leg!

1.....
2.....
Gothika breaks it up

Suddenly all the Bombshells converge on the inside of the ring and a virtual battle royal erupts! Emma Rose jumps on Gothika's back! Joanne and Raynin resume their brawl, tackling one another and falling to the canvas, rolling around and swinging! Roxi and Lizzie!

Adams: I think Jacob's lost control of this one!

Simone: Gee! You think!?

Adams: That's what I said all right.

Roxi slams Lizzie down and she jumps out to the apron, and then goes for a springboard splash but Lizzie brings her knees up into Roxi's stomach! Raynin and Joanne fall out under the ropes and to the floor! Gothika reaches up and grabs Emma by the hair and throws her off, over the top rope! Gothika then grabs Roxi Johnson and holds her, telling Lizzie to go up top! The Prodigy complies, scaling the nearest corner. Lizzie smirks and jumps off for a missile dropkick, but Roxi manages to break free and move -- and Lizzie dropkicks her own partner!

Adams: What a mistake!

Emma reaches in and grabs Gothika by the arm as Lizzie looks shocked at the error made! Roxi comes up behind her and jumps, catching her feet under Lizzie's arms and rolling the surprised Prodigy up in a roll up and bridge!

1.....
Gothika struggles to break it but Emma holds on tight!
2.....
Raynin tries to get inside but Joanne grabs her boot and drags her right back outside!
3!

The crowd cheers as Roxi jumps up, raising her arms as Lizzie screams "No!" and slams her fists into the mat! Joanne lets go of Raynin, as does Emma with Gothika, and both climb into the ring and join Roxi with their arms raised by the referee.

Justin: Here are your winners! Roxi Johnson! Joanne 'The Jersey Devil Diva" Canelli! And Emma Rose!

Darknyss suddenly sees a change take place in Raynin. She sees something in her eyes and she gets two words out before all hell breaks loose.

Darknyss: "RAYNIN!! NO!!!"

Raynin just explodes, her eyes wide as she shrieks and launches herself at Roxi Johnson. She jumps onto her back and starts wailing on the former champion, knocking her to the ground as she starts throwing haymakers at her face. All the while, she's screaming in some guttural, unintelligible language, but the voice isn't hers. It's that strange sibilant voice of the other.

Raynin: "GRASSSSSSS FARATU MOKRALNISSSSSADORINA KLANORAIN!! BORATNIASSSSSSSU FLARANIA!!"

Everyone is stunned for a minute, then Gothika and Darknyss run over and try to grab a hold to Raynin, but Raynin sees them coming and floors them both back with a double donkey kick to their stomachs. Emma Rose comes over and hits a right hand to Raynin's face, but it doesn't even rock her. Raynin grabs Emma Rose's hair and headbutts her, sending her flying back against the ropes, grabbing her face in pain. Raynin stands and starts puting the boots to Roxi. Joanne comes over and tries to help, going for a running double handed club to the chest, but Raynin bends back in a dodge, looking like her spine just collapsed in half, her head almost on her ass, her hands not moving, until she reaches out and hits Joanne with an uppercut to the throat.

Raynin bends her body back up as Gothika and Darknyss get back into the fray. They are trying to grab her, but Raynin dances out of the way. She thumbs them both in the eye, and gives a Three Stooges, 'Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk', then hits them both in the stomach, bounces off of the ropes and hits a big double clothesline, knocking them both down to the ground.

By this time, Roxi is stirring, and pulls herself to her feet. Raynin is on one kne, her hair hanging in her fece. Roxi picks up the title belt that Gothika has dropped in the fray, and walks over, lifting it high and bringing it crashing down on the back of Raynin's head...

But Raynin ins't phased in the slightest! She slowly turns her head to look at Roxi, and the pupil of her eyes have expanded to the point where they look completely black. The sound of 2 voices come from her at the same time as she laughs and starts screaming at her in the guttural language at the same time.

Raynin: "BURASSSSTINOVLASSSSSTINO!!! GRASSSSVTOLUNDO VLAXDASSSSKRONOLAGIO!! RULOMION!!"

Raynin stands slowly and Roxi drops the title belt, then starts to back away from her, but Raynin grabs her by the throat, stopping her retreat. Roxi reaches out and grabs Raynin by the throat to, but Raynin just laughs and reaches up with her free hand and pulls Roxi's hand from her throat. She lifts Roxi up into the air slowly by one hand and holds her there as Roxi starts to kick and struggle. Raynin shrieks again as the laughter continues to rumble away at he same time.

Security and the men in the white coats comes from out of the backstage area and all climb into the ring and surround Raynin. They try to grab her, but she keeps them at bay, swinging Roxi by the throat like a club, and dropping them with haymakers with her free hand. No one is able to do anything.

Just then, Diamond comes running down the ramp and slides into the ring. She reaches into the front of her shirt and pulls out a mojo bag, and throws some glittery dust into Raynin's face. Raynin screams, and her body suddenly freezes. The only thing she can do is move her eyes. She howls in anger.

Raynin: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU WITCH!!"

Diamond lifts her hands and starts to wiggle her fingers like a puppet master. Raynin slowly puts Roxi down as if she's being forced to and she doesn't want to. Her fingers are slowly pried from Roxi's throat, and she stands there, still holding her arm out like she can't put it down. Roxi stumbles back and coughs for a minute, then grabs the title belt from the floor and moves to hit Raynin with it, but Gothika grabs her hand from behind and yanks the belt from her grasp. She turns back around with her fist raised to hit Raynin anyway, but Diamond is standing in her way. She's holding her mojo bag menacingly, and Roxi squares off like she's ready or a fight, but she feels a tap on her shoulder. She turns and sees Darknyss standing behind her, smiling sweetly and waving. Roxi puts her hand down slowly and backs away before going into the backstage area.

Diamond turns back around and puts her attention back on Raynin. She wiggles her fingers again, and Raynin lifts her other arm, holding both arms out. Diamond nods to the men in white coats, and they pull out a straight jacket and slip it on Raynin. The whole time, Raynin is shrieking in anger. There are tears on the faces of the Fallen as the last buckle is put in place. When she's secured, Diamond puts her hands down and Raynin stats to struggle against the jacket, wiggling around and screaming.

Raynin: "NO!!! NO!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!! NO!!! I WANT TO STAY!! I WANT MY PRECIOUS BACK!! NO!!!"

An ambulance is pulled up to the stage area, and the men in white grab Raynin's legs and pick her up, carrying her wiggling form to the ambulance and puts her in the back. She struggles herself back to her feet just as the door to the ambulance slams shut. As it pulls away, you can see her face in the back window screaming.




The scene switches to a locker room where, microphone in hand, Pussy Willow is stood, together with Simon Jones; already changed into his usual ring attire, Simon is wearing royal-blue trunks and knee pads, and black boots, as well as a black t-shirt.

PW: Simon Jones, tonight...

Before she can get any further, Pussy Willow is interrupted by Simon.

Simon: I'm sorry to cut you off, but before you ask whatever it is that you would like to ask me, there's something that I want to people's draw attention to.

Simon turns to look directly at the camera.

Simon: I am aware that tomorrow, to coincide with Armistice Day, it is Veterans Day in the United States. Now, in the UK, and other Commonwealth nations, the 11th November is Remembrance Day - and today is Remembrance Sunday. And so, the clothing that I would normally wear for a match, today includes something extra.

Simon points to his trunks, and in particular to a red poppy, which has been embroidered onto them.

Simon: The red poppy is the emblem of the Royal British Legion, and I have decided to sport this during my match later on this evening, so as to commemorate the men and women - not just of the British Armed Forces - who have been killed while serving our respective countries.

Simon turns back to look at Pussy Willow.

PW: On the subject of your match, you will be partnering with Casey Williams, to challenge for the SCW tag team titles that are currently held by the team of Despayre and Rage. The question I have for you is, what chance do you think you have of being successful, given what has happened between you and Casey recently?

Simon: I know most people probably think that, once the bell rings to start the match, it will be just a matter of time before Casey and I implode. However, I don't plan on letting that happen. Rage questioned whether I really want to win the tag team titles, but I say, why wouldn't I want to win the titles? Because of who my partner is?

Simon shrugs his shoulders.

Simon: Sure, Casey wouldn't have been my first choice to be my partner, but that's the situation I find myself in. So, if I want to win the tag team titles - and believe me, I would like to win those titles - then with Casey as my partner it's going to have to be. And to return to your question, well, as I stated a few days ago, the tag team titles should provide myself and Casey with all the incentive that we need to function as a team. But there's something else, which gives me reason to believe that our admittedly-fragile alliance won't splinter so easily.

PW: Which is?

Simon: It's something that Casey told you last Sunday, and something that he has since repeated: he may not like me, but he does respect me - the respect that Casey has for me is mutual, and as long as that remains the case tonight, then our team will have a chance.

Pussy Willow nods her understanding.

PW: I see. Is there anything else that you want to add?

Simon: The only other thing that comes to mind is another comment from Rage: he said that defeating he and Despayre isn't an easy task - that's something I was already well aware of, but then, I wouldn't expect to be able to get an easy win against anybody in SCW. And besides, nothing worth having comes easily.

The scene cuts away.




The scene opens up backstage at Climax Control where we see Cyrus King working out on a set of weights whilst his wife Miranda watches on and the song “Replica” by Fear Factory blares on in the background.

Simone: You have to wonder what roll, if any, Cyrus will play in tonight’s Roulette Title match since he’s aligned with Max Burke.

Adams: Hopefully the stip will be something that stops him from interfering.

Miranda: You’re doing great honey.

Cyrus: I know Miranda, 98…..

Miranda: You know I’m surprised you never considered using this as your theme.

Miranda adds and Cyrus pauses for a second.

Cyrus: 99…..Replica? It’s a bad-ass song don’t get me wrong but does it work as a wrestling theme?

Cyrus asked and Miranda shrugs.

Miranda: I didn’t think Art of Partying or I Want Out would work as wrestling themes but they worked for Jessie.

Cyrus: That’s a pretty bad example since I couldn’t be more different from her if I tried.

Miranda: Eh, just keep it in mind anyway.

Stage Hand: Err, Cyrus?

A stage hand asked as he approached the couple and Cyrus sits up.

Stage Hand: Mark wanted me to tell you that the package is waiting for you in your locker room.

Cyrus nods and without a word he makes his way off screen.

Simone: What did he mean by package?

Adams: Hopefully it’s just porn and nothing that could affect tonight’s match.




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, Misty emerges from behind the curtain with her Bombshell Tag Team Title draped proudly over her shoulder. The crowd cheers her on as she stands at the top of the ramp, half smiling, half looking like she is on a mission.

Adams: I think we're about to find out what Misty was banging on about on Twitter last week. She was supposed to be in attendance last week, but she couldn't make it to the show.

Simone: With Misty, you never know unfortunately. But I agree we are about to find out what she has to say.

Misty makes her way to the ring, being surprisingly friendly with the fans as she slaps some hands along the way. She slides into the ring under the bottom rope, walking across the ring where she asks for a microphone. Justin Decent hands her one, and she heads to the center of the ring as her music dies down. The crowd continues to cheer her on, as she looks around with a smile, and she adjusts her title over her shoulder and gets ready to speak.

Misty: It still amazes me that you people have started cheering for me again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining nor do I want you to stop, but you apparently see the good in me when so many others clearly can't. Or don't...Hell, I'm not sure.

Misty laughs awkwardly as the crowd begins to quiet down a bit, unsure of where Misty is going with all of this.

Misty: You see, for almost three months now I've been trying to show a side of me that no one has seen in quite some time. I've been trying to get back to the person I used to be...the person that for so long, I thought I couldn't be again. For three months now I've done everything in my power to show each and every one of you, and everyone backstage, that I've changed and that I'm not the bitch that I made myself out to be for the past year and a half. And how is that going for me? It's not!

The crowd erupts in a mixed reaction to this. And while Misty would normally get angry or upset over this, she doesn't. She actually looks...disappointed.

Misty: I've been busting my ass day after day...week after week...Trying to make up for everything horrible thing I've done, but is it working? Apparently not. No matter what I do...No matter how hard I try...People just keep saying what a bitch I am. They keep saying that I'm going to get what's coming to me, but obviously they don't pay attention, because NEWSFLASH, I already have! Oh and certain people...BOMBSHELLS to be more specific, seem to think that I still consider myself the Queen of the Damned, but again, if they even paid any attention to anything that goes on around them, they would know that I let that go three months ago!

Misty lowers the microphone for a moment, letting out a long disappointed and frustrated sigh.

Misty: You see, this is the problem I have right now. It seems that lately, nobody seems to give a rat's ass about anyone but themselves. If something isn't all about them, they just don't pay attention...they don't care. They ignore it, and you know what? It truly pisses me off, because quite honestly, what the hell are they doing here if that is the case? I've been in this company since day one, and there was a time when I looked at the Bombshell roster and I thought to myself now this is more like it. This is the competition that I need. These women can push me to the limit, and I can do the same for them, but look at it now. Where is everybody?

Misty looks towards the backstage entrance, a fiery determination in her eyes.

Misty: Where is the passion? Where is the dedication? Where is the desire to put on one hell of a show for all of you fans? Because quite honestly, I don't see it. We have three titles, ladies. THREE! Where is the contention? Where is the fight and the drive to get it? I stand before you all as half of the Tag Team Champions, but do Vixen and I have a challenge for these titles? Apparently not, because nobody seems to want them. People look at the Tag Team Titles and they shrug them off because they would rather have singles gold. Well, apparently here the singles gold doesn't even matter anymore either. There was a time when I would see women fighting and clawing at one another to prove they had what it takes to be a champion, but gone are those days I guess. I'm sure I'll get a lot of hell for walking out here and saying all of this, but it's damn hard to come out here week after week, being the only original Bombshell on the roster, seeing what it's slowly becoming.

Misty takes in a deep breath, then drapes her Bombshell Tag Title over the top rope, facing the backstage.

Misty: People may call me a hypocrite or a bitch, or whatever, but I'm out here speaking the truth...I'm out here speaking from the heart...Yes, I have one...Because I want people to see what I've always considered the Bombshell roster to be...the best damn women's roster around! I want this Bombshell Division to explode and I want the talent to shine, because I know how talented each and every one of the other Bombshells is, regardless of how they may feel about me, or what I've ever done to any of them. In my eyes, SCW is great...it's perfect....I just want other people to see it. The only question is...do the rest of the Bombshells agree? Are the rest of you listening back there?

Misty stares at the backstage for a long while as if looking at the rest of the Bombshell roster. She finally shrugs, then turns and heads back to the center of the ring.

Misty: Now that I have all of that out of the way, there is one other important matter I need to bring up. Something that some of you may be aware of, some of you may not. How many of you have heard of the King of the Cage tournament?

Some of the crowd cheers while others remain quiet. Misty smiles and nods as she looks around.

Misty: Exactly the reaction I was expecting. You see, I hadn't heard of it until this year also. It's multi-fed tournament hosted over in another fed called EWC...Sixty-four competitors vying for the prize, and the honor to be crowned the winner. And guess what? Yours truly is one of those sixty-four competitors, and up until Mr. Eric Steel decided to sign a contract here, I was the only one representing Sin City Wrestling...well, this Sin City Wrestling anyway. Can you believe there is another one out there?

The crowd boos this information and Misty smiles.

Misty: I know, I know...But, I'm straying off topic. You see, this week is the first round of the King of the Cage tournament, and while I admit that up until about a month ago I wasn't sure if I made the right decision, I look around at each and every one of you fans in the audience and I know I did. That, and I got quite the pep talk, but that's not my point. My point is that I'm not doing this for me. No...I'm not doing it for the five hundred thousand dollar prize..

The crowd gasps and Misty nods.

Misty: I know, right? I won't lie and say that wouldn't be nice to win that, but again...That's not why I entered that tournament. I entered it because it could be my last chance to show each and every one of you...

Misty points around the crowd, then turns and points towards the backstage.

Misty: ...and to each of you watching backstage, that I am all about Sin City Wrestling, and that I'm going to walk into that steel cage and show not only the EWC and its fans what we're made of here, but everyone watching around the world! I've poured my blood, sweat, tears...my whole damn heart into this company and I'm not done! Not by a long shot! I'm not walking into this tournament promising that I'm going to walk away the winner, but what I will promise to each and every one of you and to myself also...is that I'm going to give it one hundred and fifty percent and then some! It won't be easy, and hell, I could very well show up to the next show pretty banged up and bruised, but hey..that's what the risk I have to take. I'm going to give it my all to get to that final round and walk away the winner of the whole damn thing, because I can't do anything else. I refuse to be a failure to any of you anymore.

The crowd erupts in a roar of approval as they cheer her on and she lowers the microphone for a second, looking around the crowd almost moved to tears at their cheering for her.

Misty: I think that about takes care of everything. I think I've taken up enough of the show, but by this time next week...I'll either be one step closer to winning the tournament...or I'll be right back where I started. Stay tuned to find out!

Misty then drops the microphone down and heads over to the ropes. She grabs her Tag Team Title belt and steps through the second rope, jumping down to the floor below. She throws her title belt over her shoulder and heads backstage with a confident smile, once again slapping hands with some of the fans along the way before she disappears behind the curtain and backstage.




Backstage at the Reno Sparks Convention Center, Rage is seen walking down the backstage hallway with his half of the SCW tag titles slung over his shoulder. The crowd cheers upon the first sight of the "Sin of Wrath" upon the SCW-Tron above the stage.

He turns a corner and comes upon his manager, the mentor of the Seven Deadly Sins, Synn himself. Synn is standing beside a closed door, his arms folded across his chest and has a knowing smirk on his face.

Rage: You seen Despy?

Synn nods.

Synn: I have.

Rage adjusts his tag belt on his shoulder and shrugs, glancing around.

Rage: Well, where the hell is he? He sent me this note, asking me to meet him for a strategy session for our defense tonight.

Rage holds up a sheet of paper, written in crayon, for Synn to see as evidence.

Rage: But the little guy neglected to inform me where he wanted to meet me at.

Synn: Forgive me for this redundant request, but calm down.

Synn unfolds his arms and stands upright, gesturing towards the door.

Synn: He's waiting for you in there.

Rage looks at the door and frowns, before returning his glance to Synn.

Rage: In a broom closet?

Synn: Storage room.

Synn corrects him.

Synn: He managed to convert it to what he needed, however.

Rage: What he needed... what is that even supposed to mean?

Synn just smiles. He reaches over and with a grasp of the handle, opens the door and gestures for Rage to enter. Rage takes a step forward, but stops and arches his eyebrows at his manager.

Rage: Aren't you coming?

Synn just chuckles but shakes his head in the negative.

Synn: Oh trust me. As much as I would love to bear witness to this, I think I'll leave this to the two of you. Three, if you want to count Angel.

Rage: What the hell are you...?

But before he can finish asking his question, Synn shuts the door behind him. Rage shakes his head and turns around, and immediately groans at what he sees in front of him.

Rage: Oh no, not this!

As two yards away from him, seated at an overturned crate to serve as a makeshift desk, sits Despayre with a clip-on bow tie over his "Beware the Stare" tshirt, his hair slicked back and over his eyes -- those large lensed eye glasses that magnify his eyes to a good three times their normal size.

The crowd watching cheers at the sight of the ever popular Mister Self Help!

Hands clasped together on the 'desk' in front of him, and with Angel seated on a bucket at his side, Despayre appears very calm, as if he isn't even aware that someone else has just set foot inside of the room. Rage shakes his head, regretting ever agreeing to meet for this. He has never been the recipient of a meeting with Despayre in this particular personae, but he's heard enough stories from people like Gabriel, Big B and Synn himself.

Reluctantly, Rage slowly approaches the 'desk' and pulls out the only other chair in the room and had a seat. Rage watches Despayre but the little guy acts as if he wasn't even there. His huge, magnified eyes just staring off into space. Rage frowns, then glances at his watch, before he finally, and audibly, clears his throat.

Despayre slowly turns his head to glance in Rage's direction.

Despayre: I'm sorry. Mister Self Help already has an appointment. You'll have to come back another time.

Rage: Despy...

Despayre: Mister Self Help.

Rage sighs and 'corrects' himself.

Rage: Mister Self Help. It's me.

Despayre: Who?

Rage: Rage!

Despayre blinks and leans over the 'desk' really close and squints his eyes. He then reaches up and lifts his glasses slightly for a better look without them and smiles brightly.

Despayre: Hey, when did you sneak in!?

Rage frowns, then runs a hand down his face and exhales sharply.

Rage: I've been here, Des-Mister Self Help. You said you wanted to talk about our match tonight?

Despayre: I'm not in a match tonight.

Despayre shakes his head.

Despayre: Mister Self Help deplores violence. I think you mean Despayre wanted to talk to you.

Rage: Okay, fine. Despayre wanted to have a talk about our match tonight.

Despayre: Quite possibly, but I thought first and foremost, that you and I should have a little talk.

Rage: Us?

Despayre nods.

Despayre: We're the only two here, besides Angel, and conversations with him can be a little one-sided.

Despayre leans over the desk and cups a hand beside his mouth for a conspiratorial whisper.

Despayre: He really likes to talk!

Rage glances over at the teddy bear, then shakes his head as if to clear his mind from whatever questions that might have arisen in regards to this bear. He sighs and looks back into the expectant eyes of the young man opposite him.

Rage: Okay them, what did you want to talk about?

Despayre reaches up with one hand to scratch an itch on the side of his nose, then clasps them again on the 'desk's' edge.

Despayre: Angel and I have been keeping close tabs on you and this Despayre character, for some time. Your teamwork leaves a lot to be desired, despite having won the tag team titles. There is room for improvement, and we see potential, but we can't help but admit that we're concerned.

Rage: Concerned? About?

Despayre: Why don't you like him?

Rage: Who?

Despayre: Despayre.

Rage blinks. Out of all the questions, this was not one that he had walked into this room, expecting to be asked.

Rage: What ... makes you think I don't like Despayre?

Despayre: Its the little things. Mainly the way you're always raising your voice around him.

Rage: I raise my voice around everybody!

Despayre: Why?

Rage: Because people pi-annoy me!

Despayre: Does your partner annoy you?

Rage frowns at Despayre, but before he can answer, 'Mister Self Help' asks another question.

Despayre: What do you really think about your tag team partner, Despayre, Mister Rage?

Rage: Come on, Despy...Do you really have to ask me that question?

Despayre: Despayre isn't asking the question. I, Mr. Self-Help, am. So..what is your answer?

Rage closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose, carefully choosing the answer in his mind. He finally opens his eyes and looks at Desp...Mr. Self-Help, and shakes his head.

Rage: Well...Despy is, uh...He's like the little brother I never wa...Had! Never had! You know, the kind of little brother that, no matter how crazy they drive you, you still have their back no matter what?

Despayre: I see.

Despayre removes a blue crayon from a new box of Crayolas and scribbles something in his 'journal' before looking back up at his 'patient'.

Despayre: That's a very good answer! But, if he's like a little brother to you, then why on earth do you always yell around him? And remember...

Despayre nods knowingly.

Despayre: Lies make teddy bears cry.

Despayre suddenly jumps to his feet and, planting both hands firmly on the desk, he leans over and narrows his eyes at Rage.

Despayre: DO YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING ON ANGEL'S WATER WORKS!?

Rage: Uh, Mister Self Help?

Despayre: Hm?

Rage: I'm over here.

Despayre turns from where he had been facing to where Rage was actually sitting this entire time and tilts his head to the side.

Despayre: Oh! So you are!

Despayre takes his seat again and returns to his stoic personae.

Despayre: So. Despayre is a little brother to you, just like he is to Gabriel. Very commendable, but the question remains. Why are you always yelling at a perceived family member?

Rage: Because yelling is what I do. My name is Rage...I can't whisper my damn thoughts and still be called Rage, can I?

Despayre blinks, then looks over to where Angel is.

Despayre: Can he?

Despayre waits a moment, then nods.

Despayre: I guess that makes sense!

He scribbles something else in the notepad with his crayon before returning his eyes to Rage across from him.

Despayre: Well, I think we should continue this discussion, but for now I believe you should be out looking for that tag team partner of yours. You have a title defense tonight, you know.

Rage holds up a hand, stopping him.

Rage: Not so fast! I have a question that I'd like to ask.

Despayre looks at Angel again.

Despayre: Is he allowed to do that? Are we prepared for questions?

Despayre sighs and shrugs, then turns to Rage.

Despayre: Okay, ask away -- but this is going on your bill.

Rage: What b...? You know what? Never mind. I already answered how I feel about Despayre, so I'd like to know what Despayre really thinks about me.

Almost immediately, Despayre's face froze and he narrowed his eyes at the large man.

Despayre: I don't use that kind of language!

Rage sits back, caught off guard almost as if he had been slapped, when Despayre breaks out into a fit of giggles.

Despayre: KIDDING!

Despayre hops up and scoops Angel up into his arms, and then hurries around the edge of the 'desk' nearly tripping over two brooms and a mop.

Despayre: Oh I'm sorry. I didn't see you there.

Rage stands up and Despayre holds his hand out to him, and a perplexed Rage takes it into his own for a firm shake.

Despayre: Thank you Mister Rage! This has been a very insightful therapy session.

Rage: Yeah. No problem.

Rage shakes his head as he opens the door and steps out into the hall again, shutting it behind him. Rage notices a smiling Synn watching him with a raised brow and Rage just shakes is head and walks past him.

Rage: Not. A. Word.

Synn just holds his hands up, shoulders shaking with silent laughter.

Synn: I didn't say a word!




Pussy Willows is waiting backstage

Pussy: Hey guys, my guest at this time is none other than the number one contender to the Roulette title, “Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin

Jeremiah comes in in his wrestling gear and smiles

”Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin: Hey there sweet thing, what’s up?

Pussy: Well, We were hoping for some last minute thoughts when you face Max Burke for the Roulette title. Only being here for three weeks, you have made a huge impact here so far. Are you a bit nervous about facing Burke?

”Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin: Nah, thanks to a bit of training by Sensei Mosley, I am more than prepared for Max. I just love how he likes to underestimate his opponents, and called me a victim. You see Pussy, Max needs to be schooled on who and what Big Tiger is all about. I am not one to be called a victim, because like I have said, I have seen innocent victims who were defenseless when I was at war. I am a born warrior and ol’ Maxi-Pad will find this out first-hand.

Pussy: Do you think Ruby will be a factor in this match?

”Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin: If she is smart, she will keep her nose out of the match, and just sit there and watch me prove to her boyfriend that he will be looking into the eyes of a man with the heart of a tiger. You see these battle scars Pussy?

Pussy: Yes I do.

”Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin: These battle scars you see Pussy are like stripes of a tiger to me. Tonight, you will see a fool and his title are soon departed and a new Roulette champ will be crowned. You can bet on it.

Jeremiah leaves the scene

Pussy: Thank you Jeremiah.

Pussy smirked a bit

Pussy: I would love to see how big his tiger is.




Simone: Last week on Climax Control Jeremiah Hardin beat Cyrus King and Casey Williams in a Triple Threat Ladder Match to become the Number One Contender to the SCW Roulette Championship and tonight he’s getting his shot!

Adams: Max Burke had one hell of a fight against Steve Ramone at High Stakes III where he almost lost the title; let’s see if Hardin can do better!

Justin: The following Roulette Rules contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Roulette Championship!

The tiger roars, and then Soldiers by Otherwise plays and Jeremiah comes out and looks around at the fans. He then comes down the aisle, fist bumping with the fans, and then he enters the ring and makes the roar and the crowd roars with him.

Justin: Introducing the challenger, from Washington D.C., standing 6’ 6” tall, and weighs in at 245lbs, I give you “Big Tiger” JEREMIAH HARDIN!!!

Simone: Hardin looks ready to go!

Adams: Can’t blame him, he’s only been in the company for a few weeks and he’s already getting a title shot!

The arena quiets down as the house lights drop out and a chilling blue light filters through the crowd. The soft opening guitars of Limp Bizkit's 'Behind Blue Eyes' begin to ring out as 'Pro Wrestling's Pedigree' and SCW Roulette Champion Max Burke steps out on to the stage with Ruby a few fight behind him. Standing clad in black tights with 'BURKE" written across the back and tall black shiny boots and knee pads, he raises his arms in the air with an angry look on his face. He wears his leather jacket with a hood covering his head and his SCW Roulette title is fastened firmly around his waist. He lets out a small smile as the crowd boos and then he and Ruby start to slowly walk down the ramp as the lyrics kick in.

"No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes"

Justin: And his opponent, from Dorchester, New Brunswick, Canada, weighing in at 220ibs he is the reigning and defending SCW Roulette Champion Max Burke!

The crowd continues to boo as Max slowly walks passed them. He turns to them and raises his hand in a threatening back hand manner and then chuckles to himself when a few of the fans jump back in fear. He walks up the steel steps and stops for a moment, staring straight up at the sky. He lifts his arm and points to the sky, his ode to his Uncle Ben, and then very quietly slips into the ring between the top and second rope.

"But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free"

He jumps up on the top rope and squats up there for a moment, before lowering the hood off of his head and raising his title in the air for all to see. He jumps back down into the ring to a chorus of a few more boos and raises his title one more time before handing it over to Ruby. She clutches it close to her chest as she leaves the ring as Max slips off his hooded jacket and hands that over to the referee before leaning up against the ropes and waiting for the stip to be announced as he glares at Hardin.

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

The two men turn their attention to the titentron where Rocky has just spun the Roulette Wheel, for a moment it looks like it’s going to stop on “Ladder match” and the crowd goes crazy……but at the last moment it nudges over to the next stip.

Simone: Special Guest Referee? That could be anyone!

Adams: Jeremiah and Max realize that too!

Drew leaves the ring knowing he won’t be needed as the two men glare up the entrance ramp…..and Max smirks broadly as “Walk with Me in Hell” begins to blare over the PA system.

Simone: Oh you have got to be kidding me!

Adams: Don’t tell me Cyrus King is the ref!

As soon as the vocals start Cyrus and Miranda step out and yes, Cyrus is wearing a referee’s shirt, his hair is also in a ponytail and he has a grin on his face as he enters the ring and slaps hands with Max Burke.

Simone: This match may as well be a handicap match!

Adams: I think that’s the point!

Cyrus quickly checks for any weapons on Max and once he finds none Jeremiah approaches them anticipating the same check…..he instead gets a devastating Spear for his troubles from Cyrus.

Simone: What a Spear from Cyrus!

Adams: And he’s calling for the bell!

Max and Cyrus exchange a high five before Max goes for a cover 1 2 kick out by Hardin! Both Cyrus and Max look shocked that he kicked out of the fast count and Max goes for another cover 1 2 and Hardin kicks out again!

Simone: Cyrus and Max are trying to screw Hardin but he’s resisting their efforts no matter how hard it is!

Adams: Err…..

Simone: You know what I meant!

Cyrus just shakes his head as Max forces Jeremiah to his feet and holds him in position whilst Cyrus fires some punches at Hardin’s head and midsection, Cyrus backs off into the ropes and Max pushes Hardin right into a hard clothesline from Cyrus! Max goes for another cover 1 2 kick out by Hardin!

Simone: Hardin’s tough but can he take on two guys at the same time?

Adams: Cyrus did just that at a recent House Show beating The Flying Jets in a handicap match, Hardin on the other hand I’m not so sure about!

Simone: Well regardless Cyrus and Max are showing that they have bonded a lot over the few weeks that they’ve been aligned and that is definitely a bad thing for Hardin!

Rather than complain about it Max and Cyrus proceed to stomp the living hell out of Hardin, Max eventually stops and shoves Cyrus.

Max: Make the son of a bitch bow down to you!

Cyrus smirks quickly getting the idea before picking up Hardin and setting him up for his Bow Down to the King finisher, he hoists him up but Hardin gets a second wind, fights out of it and backdrops Cyrus out of the move, Max quickly tries to save face by attacking Hardin from behind but Hardin ducks the clothesline attempt and starts brawling with the Roulette Champion!

Simone: I don’t know how but Hardin is still in this!

Adams: But whether he can maintain control is another question entirely! He’s practically fighting a handicap match out there!

Cyrus is back on his feet and is crouched down in the corner obviously setting up for a Spear on Hardin, he sees his opening and charges in…..but Hardin leapfrogs over the Spear attempt and Cyrus spears Max instead almost breaking the champion in half!

Simone: Max just got nailed by that spear!

Adams: Cyrus may have just cost his ally the Roulette Championship!

Cyrus’s eyes widen as he realizes what he has done and Hardin is quick to capitalize forcing Max to his feet and…..

Simone: Tiger’s Ambition! He just hit his finisher!

Adams: Do we have a new champion?!

Hardin drags Max to the center of the ring before pinning him and Cyrus reluctantly drops down to apply the count 1……2……3!!!!

Justin: Here’s your winner and NEEEEEEWWWWWW SCW ROULETTE CHAMPION “BIG TIGER” JEREMIAH HARDIN!

Simone: We have a new champion!

Adams: This is Hardin’s third SCW match and he’s already a champion! What a great start to this young man’s career!

Hardin doesn’t get a chance to celebrate as Cyrus spins him around and hits him with the Bow Down to the King! The crowd boos Cyrus as he takes Justin’s microphone!

Cyrus: Congratulations Hardin, you’re the new champion, unfortunately for you I’m coming after the belt!

Cyrus drops the mic and leaves the ring as “Walk with Me in Hell” begins to blare over the system and Max starts to come too.

Simone: It seems we have a new rivalry brewing between Hardin and King!

Adams: They never got to resolve their differences in ACW due to the merger but now they have a perfect opportunity!

The lights go out, evil laughter begins to fill the arena. Strobe lights slowly flash, and soon pick up intensity, between strobe flashes we notice druids surrounding the ring and eventually entering. Then the lights go pitch black.

Simone: I dont like this....

The lights come back on and 3 druids stand in the middle of the ring looking over Max Burke who is laying in the middle of the ring. about a dozen other druids surround the ring.

Druid Leader: Behold, one of your so called superstars. He lays here in a heap of pain, a failure. This man is considered one of the best in Sin City, yet, he can't even hold his head up high after a match? Perhaps I can be of assistance....

The two other druids drag Max Burke to his feet

Leader: Here he stands, a legend in Sin City, you love him, you hate him, you're never going to see him again.

A hush falls over the crowd, some unsure what to think, others simply do not want to think of Sin City without Max Burke.

Leader: Do you appreciate this man? Do you appreciate the efforts of Max Burke to come out here week after week and showcase his talents for your enjoyment?

The crowd actually pops, a few chants of "Max Max Max" break out. The druids actually raise Burke's arms as he slowly comes to. When they did, a huge POP from the crowd roared out and followed by "MAX MAX MAX"

Leader: It's good you appreciate him, cheer him on, this man has given his heart and soul to Sin City, too bad it's time to take his body!

Without warning, the two druids smash Burke's torso with huge forearms and the druid leader hits a forearm smash to Burke's skull. Burke staggers backwards, the leader grabs him by the hair and with cat like reflexes, plants Burke to the mat with a devastating neckbreaker. The leader then directs the other two druids to grab Burke and stand him up again. This time he grabs Burke and plants him to the mat with a package piledriver. The fans are stunned, boos start to ring out, some fans actually start throwing trash. Max Burke lays motionless in the middle of the ring as the boos grow louder. The druid leader climbs onto a turnbuckle and sits atop it facing Max Burke's lifeless body in the ring.

Leader: We warned you for weeks to tread lightly, we warned you to watch your backs, we told you we're coming, well, we're almost here, this is just another warning, heed our words Sin City Wrestling, unite, rise up, send your best, because when we arrive, we will dominate any and all of you. Max Burke is a sacrifice, he's had a stellar career, yes we have done some history homework, and Max's contribution to our cause is necessary. Say goodbye to Max Burke, his time here is done, our time is coming. Heed the warning SCW, WE'RE COMING

The lights go out and strobes slowly illuminate the arena in long slow flashes. From what we can see, the druids outside the ring enter the ring and surround Max Burke's body, then slowly carry him out of the ring, when they exit the ring, the strobe lights flicker faster, as they carry Burke out of the arena, all but 3 druids disappear into the back, the three druids turn back and lock fists in sign of solidarity then the lights go out.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO We want Max, We Want Max

Simone: I can not describe what I just saw, we will do our best to update you on Max Burke's condition folks.




The scene opens up backstage at Climax Control where we see GWA and AWA legend “The Fearless One” Steve Ramone walking around backstage with a gym bag slung over his right shoulder and his wife Charlotte by his side.

Steve: Did you call the babysitter?

Charlotte: Yes Steve and don’t worry, Sophie’s in good hands and once she’s old enough we can start bringing her to these shows, not like that’ll stop you at Bloodstock.

Steve: It’ll be a good experience for her, that’s all I’m saying! Besides we both saw that kid who got to go on stage after Exodus’s set this year.

Charlotte: Good point, let’s just find our locker room.

Charlotte agrees before the couple walk off.




The scene opens up backstage where we find Co-Owner, Hot Stuff Mark Ward, walking down the halls, heading towards his office. Several of the backstage workers greet him as he walks by and he only offers them an acknowledging glance and a nod as he passes them by. He finally reaches the door leading to his office for the evening, only to find that it is cracked open a bit. Knowing he closed it when he left earlier, he closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath before he grabs a hold of the knob and pushes the door open, ready to see just who is intruding in his office. Who he finds should infuriate him, but it surprisingly doesn't. One half of the Tag Team Champions, Rage, is seated in the chair behind his desk, with his rather large feet propped up on Hot Stuff's desk, and his hands behind his back, making himself as comfortable as possible.

HS: I'm sorry, who are you again? You realize the hot dog stand is back that way, right?

Much like earlier in the week on Twitter, Hot Stuff pretends he has no idea who Rage is. In an uncharacteristic move, Rage keeps his anger in check...at least temporarily. He knows Hot Stuff is toying with him, and he intends to do the same right back.

Rage: Oh gee, are you offering to buy me a snack? I'd take you up on that offer, but I have it on good authority that the food at the concession stands here sucks.

Hot Stuff looks at Rage, a smile on his face.

HS: If I buy someone a snack, I'm expecting something in return and sorry buddy boy, you're not my type.

Rage stares a hole through Hot Stuff, his eyes burning through the Englishman's skin

HS: Shouldn't you be getting back to work? Like don't you have a parking lot to sweep? Or some cotton candy to flog to some kid?

Rage leans forward on the chair, taking his feet off of Hot Stuff's desk and placing them on the ground. He reaches down grabs his Tag Team Title belt from out of his lap, slamming it on Hot Stuff's desk. Hot Stuff glances at the belt, then shrugs it off without a care.

HS: Not as nice as the Heavyweight Championship is it?

Rage: Play all the games you want, boss man. You know why I'm here. I may be half of the tag team champions, but I think we both know that if Gabriel were well enough, he would be holding this belt and not me.

HS: Do you have a point to all of this? Because, unlike you, I actually work in this place and I don't like wasting my time with insignificant nobodies.

Rage lowers his head and laughs, but it is a very frustrated sounding laugh. He stands up very slowly from Hot Stuff's desk and walks around it, keep his eyes locked on Hot Stuff the entire time. He stops just inches away from the boss, trying to intimidate him, but he has no luck as Hot Stuff stands there and rolls his eyes.

Rage: I was watching a couple weeks ago when you gave your little speech in the ring. You're ready to give anybody who wants a match against you there shot, and well...I'm here to collect on that offer. And trust me when I say I'm not just some nobody you can mop the canvas with.

Hot Stuff stands there for a moment, placing a finger on his chin. He seems to be seriously considering the thought when he suddenly smiles and shakes his head.

HS: Hmmm...Nope! Nice try, but I think I'll pass.

Hot Stuff takes a step to the left and walks around Rage, heading over to his desk. Rage's nostrils flare and he looks absolutely livid. He clenches his fists at his side, then very slowly turns around and glares at Hot Stuff as he is taking a seat at his desk. Hot Stuff pushes the Tag Team Title belt to the side, and begins searching around his desk, completely ignoring Rage.

Rage: Excuse me? Did you just say you think you'll pass?

HS: Christ, you're still here? I don't like repeating myself, so if ya didn't hear me the first time maybe you need to get ya ears cleaned out. Now piss off. I've got work to do.

Rage snarls and walks up to Hot Stuff's desk and slams his fist down in front of the boss, right on the paperwork Hot Stuff was just about to go through. Hot Stuff slowly lifts his head to make eye contact with his now extremely pissed off employee.

Rage: I've had just about enough of you're bullshit, Ward! Why the hell won't you give me my damn match? The longer you put it off, the worse off it will be for you in the long run.

HS: Why won't I give you the match? Maybe because when I made the challenge, I was hoping for some actual talent to take me up on the offer. Not some little bitch that used to be Synn's chew toy.

Rage's nostrils flare again and he balls up his fist and slams it on the desk once again. Hot Stuff leans back in his chair, clearly holding back a satisfied grin, knowing full well he's only pissing off Rage even more.

HS: I'd be careful about slamming your fist on this desk again, baldy. If you break it, it's coming out of your pay, and let me just warn you that this desk wasn't cheap.

Rage: I don't give a shit about your stupid desk, Ward! Just give me my damn match already, because if you don't, I'll just drag your ass out to the---

HS: I think it's about time I end this little temper tantrum and all. It might be cute with five year olds, but it makes you look stupider than you already are. Now, if you threaten me one more time, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Are you listening?

Rage is breathing heavily. He's absolutely fuming, but he is paying close attention to Hot Stuff, waiting for him to continue.

HS: I'm not sure if that is a yes or no, but oh well. Here's what's going to happen. You're going to take your Tag Team Title off my desk. You're going to turn your arse around and walk out that door, and return to being bitch boy for the Sins and you're not going to beg me for a match again, because the answer is still no, and it's going to continue to be no. If you even think about trying to take matters into your own hands, I'll strip those belts from you and Despayre so fast, you won't even remember having them. If you don't like it...Well, I don't give a rat's arse. You work for me, therefore you get the matches I say you do.

Hot Stuff points towards the door, but Rage doesn't move. He stands there, seething but frozen where he stands.

HS: Now, there is the door. Get your arse out of here before I call security to force you out. And trust me when I say you don't want that to happen, because again, not only will you be stripped of that belt, but the closest you'll ever be to working for this company again is really selling hot dogs at the concession stands. Understand?

Rage stands there for a moment, processing every single word over in his head. Deep down he's dying to beat the hell out of Hot Stuff, but with the boss threatening his job, he uses every ounce of will-power he has to hold himself back. He finally grabs his tag team title belt and holds it next to him.

Rage: This isn't over. Not by a long shot.

HS: As far as I'm concerned it is. Now get the hell out of here.

Rage growls, then throws his title belt over his shoulder. He turns around and storms out of the office, clearly frustrated and not ready to give up. Once he is out of sight, a wicked grin grows on Hot Stuff's face as he gets back to going through paperwork.




The opening drums to Five Finger Death Punch’s "I.M.Sin" 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.

"What a fucking poser, that's all you'll ever be!
Don't get any closer, or you'll meet the real me!
I am, who I am, you can't destroy me!
I am, what I am, you can't deny me!

I want out, but I could never surrender.
Try and break me down, but I won’t let you win.
You can call me out, but I know you’re a pretender.
You may think your god, but I know that I am sin!"

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

“I am SIN! I am SIN!
I am SIN! I am SIN!

I won’t fucking buy it!
I never have and I never will!
Keep fucking trying!
I'm just waiting for the blood to spill!"

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. Casey then motions for a microphone.

Casey: “Hey Sins, you think that you have my number because of our past? Well, think again. I will show you guys what I am truly made of, and there is nothing you can do to stop me from obtaining tag team gold, even if it is with a partner whom I cannot stand personally in Simon Jones, but where I respect what he has done inside the ring, I am able to put my personal feelings aside for the common goal.”

The crowd boos Casey even louder as he drops the mic and walks to the back and “I.M.Sin“ hits the speakers.




Justin: The following match is for one fall, introducing first from Ottawa Ontario Canada... weighing in at 128 pounds.... she is one half of the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Tag Team Champions.... representing NXT.... Viiiiixxxeeeeen

The throbbing beat of You're Going Down by Sick Puppies is heard as Vixen walks out on the ramp, stepping up to the edge of the aisle and stands at attention before raising a hand to wave to the fans who cheer as she salutes and smiles before moving down to the ring. Standing on the apron, she steps on the bottom rope and backflips into the ring, moving to the corner where she climbs to the second turnbuckle and salutes the fans once more before jumping down to stretch slightly as the fans' chants begin to fade.

Justin: and her opponent from Daytona beach Florida, weighing in at 128 pounds she is the bitch of hardcore.... Jaaaaaaddddeeeee Manendezzzz-Arcadooooorrr

Revolution by Judas Priest hits over the p.a as strobe lighting flickers all around the arena, as Jade appears at the top of the ramp, where she surveys her surroundings and soaks in the boos of the crowd.

Jade smiles before heading down the ramp, ignoring the fans jeers and boos along the way before running and sliding into the ring, where she then climbs the turnbuckle and kisses her tattoo on wrist before raising the very same arm.

Jade then jumps off the turnbuckle and looks across at her opponent from the centre of the ring for her opponent.

Ding, ding, ding.

Adams: Here we go Belinda!!!!!

The two females size each other up in the middle of the ring, going toe to toe. Vixen is looking around not really knowing what to think of Jade who is off the bat yelling in her face. Jade doesn’t waste any time as she shoves Vixen. Vixen stumbles a little, but comes back with a shove of her own. Jade regains her stance and replies back with a slap that can be heard echoing around the arena. Vixen brings her hand up to the side of her face that was just slapped and smirks before charging towards the taunting Jade taking her down with a vicious spear. Vixen climbs on top of Jade and the crowd goes wild as fists and hair is seen flying around everywhere. Jade can be heard screaming out as Vixen continues to introduce her fists to her face.

Simone: I don’t think pissing Vixen off was a smart move by Jade.

Adams: Did you just say pissing?

Simone: What of it?

Vixen brings Jade up to her feet only to slam her down hard onto the canvas with a Snap-mare. Jade is trying to sneak away from Vixen grip again but the Canadian beauty is already all over her with a swift kick to her spine. Vixen leans down and picks Jade up before whipping her into the ropes. Jade tries to build some momentum coming running at Vixen but Vixen leaps up and catches her head between her legs for a beautiful head scissors take down. A massive Vixen chant breaks out as one half of the Bombshell Tag Team Champions rolls over and puts her arm across Jade’s shoulders going for an early pin fall.

1...

2...

No! Not even close as Jade kicks out violently. Both girls are back to their feet and they start to circle one another exchanging not so pleasant words.

Adams: I love it when girls get all catty like this...

Simone: And I’m sure our Bombshells like having an old man like you drooling over them.

Adams: HEY, I’m not drooling!

Jade is the first to attack as she comes flying in with rapid fire chops that sound as if they are slicing Vixen’s chest open. Vixen stumbles back into the ropes and Jade continues to punish her. Lining her up perfectly Jade unleashes three European uppercuts to Vixen. Pushing Vixen into the turnbuckle, Jade takes a few steps back before rushing towards Vixen running a high knee straight into her torso. Vixen is hunched over and is stumbling out of the ropes gripping her midsection. Jade takes advantage by driving her into the canvas with a swinging neck breaker. Vixen is yelping in pain as Jade stalks her way up to her feet.

Simone: Jade proving why she is known as the bitch of hardcore.

Adams: Man Despy’s swear jar would be full by now, from your potty mouth tonight Belinda.

Vixen being the fighter she is tries to make it to her feet but she struggles and ends up landing on her knees. Jade spots that Vixen is in trouble and makes sure she doesn’t have any more recovery time, Jade dashes in and drops the tag champion with a shining wizard. The sound of Jade’s boot connecting with Vixen’s skin sends the crowd gasping. Jade rolls Vixen over and goes for a pin.

1...

Adams: I think Vixen is out cold here Belinda.

2...

2 and a half...

NO! Somehow someway Vixen has managed to get her foot up on the bottom rope. Jade is livid as she screams at the referee. Jade lifts Vixen up and looks for the Jade’s Evolution out of nowhere Vixen is able to counter with a spilt leg jawbreaker. Jade’s jaw bounces off Vixen’s head as the both crash to the ground, leaving the referee no choice but to start a count.

1...

2...

4...

Jade starts stirring and makes her way over to the ropes, using them she climbs up to her feet holding her jaw in pain. Vixen on the other hand looks worse for wear as she tries to recoup. Jade makes her way over to Vixen slowly, gripping on to her hair she brings the Canadian to her feet. Vixen tries to get free by swinging her arms around helplessly but it’s no use Jade successfully plants her with her finishing move a dominating Jade’s Evolution. Jade makes the cover.

Adams: I don’t like Vixen’s chances.

1...

2...

Simone: She’s done it, Jade’s done it...

3!

Ding, ding, ding.

Justin: Here is your winner.... Jaaaaaaadddeeeee Maaaaannnnnnendeeeeezzzzz-Arcadoooooor




"Stoner" Scott Oliver is shown on the Titantron, somewhere backstage in the Reno Sparks Convention Center. All eyes from the audience and those from watching around the world are seeing him on the screen as he speaks with the microphone in his right hand.

Stoner: I am here, reporting live from Reno, Neveda. I was able to gain an exclusive interview with a man who defeated Goth in a brutal fight at High Stakes III and is now forced to team up with the man to face off two of his opponents from two weeks ago. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the self-proclaimed "King Of Kings"....KAIN!!!!!!!

As Kain steps into the shot, a crowd reaction of cheers and boos fill the air. The camera gets a close look at Kain, who merely nods and then folds his arms into his chest as he looks into Scott's eyes as the camera pulls back to see both men in the shot.

Stoner: Kain, thank you for the interview. I wanted to talk to you first about Simon Jones's comments that he made in his promo, specifically about you. Have you listened to his promo and if so, any thoughts?

Kain looked away for a second and spit on the ground before facing Scott.

Kain: Yeah, I have. He's wrong about a lot of things, but I'll address them at a later point when he and I clash somewhere down the road. All I'm going to say is this; he's going to regret every word when I destroy him in the ring in fair combat. He was only lucky that the situation we were involved in was a fatal-four way match to decide the #1 contendership for the SCW heavyweight championship. Next time, the tables will be turned on him and he won't be the one talking trash from a distance after I'm through with that piece of shit. We've all been in wars for the title, so it was only inviteable that we fought for the title, but it doesn't matter if we did or not; we will always be engaged in a war with each other the moment we step into any fed and find out who is who and what they are going after. So Simon Jones, I suggest you keep mouthing off, because all it will do, at least for you, is making sure that I end your career and bury you six feet under. So I suggest you start trembling with fear, because at some point, you are going to receive your end and I'll be the one happy enough to end your career on such, short notice! Now, what else do you have for me, Scott?

Scott nervously swallowed as he saw the rage in Kain's eyes starting to appear, but he continued on with his question.

Stoner: The only other question is how do you feel about the match ahead tonight? What is your strategy?

Kain merely snorted to the question and chuckled, which made Scott feel at ease with the man...almost.

Kain: What I always do best, Scott. I survive and I slowly take out the opposition or as fast as I can, depending on how fast I can do it. But you're right though; this is a fight that's worth having a strategy for. I threw out a deal to Goth, one that I'm not sure if he's capable of agreeing to with, and he can be a backstabbing bastard when it happens. I don't trust the man at all, but if we are to win, we'll just have to survive the best we can. And then there's the opponents looking across from us; Nick Jones and Giani De Luca. I don't care about them in the slightest, Scott. All I want to do is get my hands on them and just rip them apart, limb by limb. I'm very dangerous in that ring or anywhere else, for that matter. This has got to be one of the worst decisions that Mark and Christian made as far as booking is concerned, but that is now not the time to debate that. I'm here for a reason tonight and I'm going to win. Goth better feel the same or I'm going to be extremely pissed off. Now speaking of pissed off, I suggest you leave now...or I'll make you leave.

With a final, harsh glance at Scott's eyes, The King Of Kings chuckled once more, this time more loudly, before unfolding his arms and walking away from the smaller man. Scott, on the other hand, stared after the man as the scene faded to black.




The Sin City Wrestling videotron lights up in a graveyard. 12 Druids can be seen carrying a body led by three druids, they stop in front of a headstone that reads "Here lies Max Burke"

Leader: A final resting place you must go, the shadows of yesterday are all you know, you gave your all and never feared, they took from you, your blood, sweat and tears. Your time has come, you must go home, your quiet soul can rest, never more to roam. Take heart my son, you did not go in vain, you've become a messenger, a messenger of pain. Pity you couldn't stay with us longer, but your pathetic weakness makes us stronger. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, we hate to say goodbye, but we must......we MUST!

The druids drop Max Burke into the shallow grave then surround it.




New Low starts to play thru the speaker system. The crowd starts to cheer as they see Jon Dough making his way to the ring. Jon is shaking hands and giving out high fives to all the fans.

Jon Dough: How’s everyone in Reno, Nevada doing tonight?

Cheap pop is heard from the crowd

Jon Dough: Good, good. So did you guys enjoy my match vs. Eric Steel?

Crowd: Yeaaaaaaa!

Jon Dough: That’s good. Felt good to get my 1st victory here in SCW!

Crowd cheers as there happy for Jon getting his 1st victory as well.

Jon Dough: So who do I fight next? Not sure but it won’t matter to me who. Because when you get in the ring with me one thing is for sure. Both wrestlers all give it their all for you SCW fans. That’s my promise to all of you.

Crowd: Jon Dough! Jon Dough! Jon Dough!

Jon Dough: I’m glad you fans seem to take a liking to me. I plan on providing you guys with the best action packed matches you ever seen. Well that’s all for now.

Crowd: Jon Dough! Jon Dough! Jon Dough!

Jon Dough: Now for something else that’s on my mind. We here at SCW give you guys everything we have. But there is a bigger group of people that give it their all as well. If not for this group not one SCW superstar would be here providing you the action you see week in week out. Even some of the SCW guys belong to this group. Like them or not guys like “Big Tiger” Jeremiah Hardin and Cyrus King have given a part of their life to the military. With tomorrow being Veterans Day I would like to say Thank you to all who serve the United States Military.

The crowd starts to go crazy. The fans are cheering and clapping.

Jon Dough: Well I won’t hold up the show any longer. Enjoy the rest of the show.

New Low starts to play thru the speakers as we see Jon Dough making his way back up the ramp.




The cameras once again cut to backstage where we find the former Queen of the Damned and one half of the current Bombshell Tag Team Champions, Misty, leaning against a wall, but she's not alone. The apparent new man in her life, Seth, is standing next to her, and the two are emerged in a quiet conversation. Both are smiling as they enjoy their conversation and their time together.

Seth: Have I mentioned that you did great out in the ring earlier? And to think you were beginning to doubt yourself entering that tournament. Don't be surprised if you get a call from Frankie later.

Misty smiles and almost appears to be blushing at Seth's compliment.

Misty: That makes the third time you've said that, Seth. Besides, I have you and Frankie to thank for the confidence boost anyway. I really was ready to back out of it.

Seth: I know you were, and you're crazy for ever even considering backing out. When I met you almost fifteen years ago you could have walked into this tournament and breezed through it without even breaking a sweat, and you know it.

Misty: You're only saying that to make me feel better, but we both know that's not true. Now, are we just going to stand here and talk about the King of the Cage tournament all night?

Misty stares at Seth, almost insinuating she has other plans. Seth raises an eyebrow and grins.

Seth: You tell me? You're the one who had to be here so badly tonight even though you didn't have a match.

Misty: I couldn't skip it tonight, Seth. I screwed up and missed last week's show. I had to say what I needed to say tonight, and Vixen has a match, so I needed to be here to support her.

Seth: I know, I know. I was just joking with ya. Lighten up.

Seth offers Misty a playful nudge. She smiles and lets out a slight laugh.

Misty: Anyway, you want to go grab a bite to eat from the catering table? They're usually pretty good about getting some decent food.

Seth: Is that your attempt at inviting me to dinner?

He winks and Misty just shakes her head and rolls her eyes.

Misty: Oh please. If I was going to invite you to dinner, I'd make sure to invite you to some fancy restaurant and then make you foot the bill. Besides, everyone knows it's the man's job to make the first move.

Seth: Is that so? I didn't realize there was some written rule stating that.

Before Misty has a chance to respond, the sound of someone clearing his throat is heard from out of view of the camera. Misty and Seth turn their attention to behind the camera, just as it pans back to see the new number one contender to the Heavyweight Title, Giani Di Luca, in his NXT t-shirt, standing there looking straight at them...well, at Misty at least. Misty narrows her eyes, not exactly thrilled to see him, and Seth only looks confused, but he stays quiet.

Misty: I'm sorry, but this is a private conversation. You can leave now.

Giani: Yeah, I'm sorry for interrupting, but I was wonderin' if we could talk. I'll try not to take up too much of ya time.

Misty: Why should I bother giving you even a second of my time, Giani? You made it perfectly clear your opinion of me a few weeks ago.

Seth watches on, keep a close eye on the situation. Giani glances at him briefly, almost appearing disgusted, but he soon turns his attention back to Misty.

Giani: Please? I know I don't deserve it, but...

Seth is about to step forward and defend Misty, but she puts her arm out and stops him. He looks at her, and she shakes her head, signaling everything is fine.

Misty: Seth, how about you go ahead and go to the catering table before me. I'll meet you there in a few minutes.

Seth looks at Misty, reluctant to agree to this. He glances at Giani from the corner of his eye, but Misty assures him everything is alright.

Misty: I'll be fine, Seth. I promise. Go ahead. I'll be there in a few.

Seth lets out a sigh and then shrugs, having no choice but to give in. He runs his hand down Misty's arm, then turns and walks away, giving Giani and warning glance before he walks past him. Once Seth disappears around another corner, Misty turns her attention back to Giani, glaring at him with pure fire in her eyes.

Misty: Alright, you have my attention...for now. What the hell do you want, Giani?

Giani lowers his head, shaking it in disappointment. He wants to just forget about it and walk away, but something in him won’t allow him to do it. His eyes wander up to look at Misty even though he keeps his head lowered.

Giani: Look, outta anybody, you should be the one to understand this the most. Hell, it was your idea anyways… Ever since ya told me I didn’t have to be such a freakin’ douchebag, I couldn’t help but realize that… well… I was a douchebag. If I was a woman of substance such as ya’self, I wouldn’t want shit to do with me either.

Misty: A douchebag supreme, if you ask me…

Misty adds in a very matter-of-factly sort of way, crossing her arms over her chest as she narrows her animalistic eyes at him. He lifts his chin up, looking right at her with his almost puppy-like eyes.

Giani: Fine, I’m a… douchebag supreme… er, I was. What ya said really got into my head. Even if all the fans and the talent here can’t see that ya tryin’ to change for the better, I can see that. At first, I thought to myself “This chick is nuts for tryin’ to play nice.” Ya burned every damn bridge ya had, just like me. But ya realized that it didn’t have to be that way. Ya inspired me to want to change myself for the better too.

Misty: If this is some sort of stunt to try to get in my pants, then you are sorely mistaken “Mr. Di Luca”. I’ve got something else going for me, and I’m not going to…

Giani: Not that I don’t think ya could do a lot better, but I’m not suggestin’ we get back together or nothin’ like that. I’m on a mission, just like you are. I want to redeem myself. Not for the fans, or the recognition, but cause it’s the right thing to do. I was never that guy before. I mean, yeah, I was a little too confident sometimes, but never the asshole. I wanna go back to that, but I can’t. This is the closest I could come to that.

Misty’s firm jaw and fiery eyes seem to let up slowly as she takes in a deep breath. She can see the hint of a tear in his eye as she unfolds her arms, allowing them to dangle at her sides. Giani raises his shoulders a bit, loosening his own posture as he maintains eye contact.

Giani: Look, I know ya man is waitin’ for ya, so I’ll get to the point…. Misty, I’m sorry for the way things ended, and I’m sorry for the way I treated ya afterwards. That was wrong. And just like I did for Spike last week, I want ya to kick me in the balls for it.

A bit of a smile spreads across Misty’s face as she hears these words. She would love nothing more than to boot him in the jewels, but an attack of conscience comes over her as she places a hand on his shoulder.

Misty: Look, I’m not going to kick you in the balls. If anyone should understand where you are coming from, it’s me. I'm not going to deny you what I've been trying to accomplish myself. I forgive you, Giani.

Misty gives his shoulder a slight friendly rub as he nods his head. He grabs her hand and gives it a firm, yet friendly shake.

Misty: And for what it’s worth, I’m sorry too.

Giani: Aww… Fuhgeddaboudit… it’s nothin’ anyway. But look, I don’t wanna keep ya from ya man, and I better get ready for my match, so I’ll see ya around?

Misty gives him a nod and a smile. He returns the gesture, letting her hand go as he turns to walk away. Misty tilts her head to the side, curiously, as she watches him jovially walk off.




Justin: The following contest is a tag team match...

"It ain't braggin' mutha f#cka if ya back it up!" A loud chorus of boos fills the arena as "Cocky" by Kid Rock blasts throughout.

Justin: Being accompanied to the ring by The Entourage. From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at two hundred and fifty one pounds, he is Nick Jones!

Moments later, Nick Jones walks out through the curtain, causing the boos to intensify. Nick walks to the top of the ramp and then waits as the lovely Diana Roberts makes her way out behind him. Nick drops down to a knee as a cocky smirk comes across his face while he flexes his muscles and Diana rubs his chest. Nick gets up and takes Diana's arm before turning back toward the curtain and waiting as the Entourage's Big B and Tony Capicelli make their way out. The two men flank Nick and Diana as they make their way down the ramp, slowly walking down as Nick makes sure to taunt and mock all of the fans along the way. Nick walks to the steel steps and waits for Diana to climb up first, watching her from behind before quickly walking up behind her, while Big B and Tony wait outside the ring. Nick walks across the apron and steps one leg into the ring, taking a seat onto the middle rope, holding the ropes open as Diana climbs in. Nick sits there, looking around the arena and has a look of disdain on his face as he shakes his head in disgust, soliciting even more jeers from the audience. Nick laughs at this response as he turns away from the crowd to climb into the ring, swinging his other leg into the ring and then walking over to his corner, where Diana now sits on the top turnbuckle. Nick leans back while Diana rubs his shoulders, as he waits with a cocky and confident smirk on his face.

Justin: And his partner, from Seaside Heights, New Jersey

A few cameras file through the curtains.

Justin: Weighing in at two hundred and eighty five poounds, he is Giani Di Luca!

“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.

Justin: And their opponents, introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Ariel.

The lights in the arena goes down as the low-sounding guitar riff from Saliva's "Ladies And Gentlemen" plays and a lone spotlight is placed on the top of the entrance ramp, right at the enter. Once the guitars and drums pick up noise and the song starts to play it's tune, a platform rises from the bottom and the crowd recognizes Kain and his love, Ariel.

Justin: From Detroit, Illinois, weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds, he is Kain!

The crowd cheers wildly for Kain as Saliva's frontman, Josey Scott, sings his lyrics, boasting of a show that no one has ever seen before. Kain looks around the arena, smiles briefly at both sides of the crowd, then stares down the ring and locks on to his game face. Snarling with rage, he walks down the ramp with intent and purpose, thinking of the fight ahead of him. He feels the warm presence of Ariel's hand as the couple walk, side-by-side, but his mind is focused on the carnage tonight. Once they reach the bottom, Ariel goes behind Ariel, using her hands to untie his black robe and take it off him completely. Kain is now shown from head to toe as the camera gets a great look at his incredible physique. The women couldn't help but gawk at his body while the men couldn't help but be awe in what they are seeing now. Ariel hands the black robe over to a nearby ring attendent, directly to her right, then gets pulled in by Kain, who embraces her in a deep kiss. Ariel returns the kiss and the arena's noise got more louder than before. Kain breaks off the kiss, bows to his queen, then turns away and walks up the steps and places both hands near the end the end of the top rope. He then hops on the top floor and performs a foward somersault before landing on the ground. As he lands, flaming pyro explodes from all corners of the ring as the lights grow back on. Climbing on each turnbuckle, he raises his right, clenched fist in the air and talks trash as multiple cameras flashes from the crowd. Finally, he heads to his corner, kneels briefly, saying a few words to himself before rising up and looking behind as he spies the entrance ramp. "Ladies And Gentlemen" as Kain now stands still, awaiting his opponent.

Justin: And his partner, being accompanied to the ring by Sapphira

Darkside blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring holding the SCW Heavyweight championship over his shoulder.

Justin: from Utrecht, The Netherlands, weighing in at two hundred and thirty nine pounds, he is the SCW heavyweight champion, he is Goth!

He is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira, who is wearing her usual Goth dress. Goth stops halfway the entrance way and stares at the crowd who are booing the owner of the AWA who grins and walks further on. In the ring he lets Sapphira take off his robe and he stares down his opponents in the ring.

Adams: There's hate on one team and egos on the other team.

Drew calls for the bell.

DING DING DING.

Kain and Goth argue about who's starting the match, but Nick Jones takes advantage by crashing a forearm in to the back of Kain! A smile crosses Goth's face as he steps out of the ring. Giani leaves the ring on the other side. Nick clubs Kain again from behind, before pulling him back in towards him from behind and lifts him over in a belly to back suplex, dropping Kain on to his back. Nick pulls Kain to his feet. He nails Kain with a quick punch with his right hand, followed by another right hand. Nick smirks at Kain, holding him by the chin with his left hand. Nick kisses his right fist before drilling it in to the side of Kain's head. Kain hits the canvas hard as Nick turns around, smirking at the booing crowd. Nick turns his attention back to the King Of Kings, lifting him to his feet and catching him with a quick hit to the jaw. Kain spins around and Nick grabs his head from behind. He locks Kain in a reverse DDT position, before spinning around and nailing Kain with a spinning neckbreaker!

Adams: Double wipeout!

Kain and Nick start to crawl to their own corners, reaching out to their partners hands. Both men tag in simulataniously. Giani and Goth get in the ring and stand looking at ya.

Goth follows up with a roaring elbow to the top of Giani's head, knocking the number one contender down to the canvas. Goth looks down at Giani with an evil look. He pulls Giani to his feet and lifts him over with a quick snap suplex! Goth gets to his feet and pulls Giani back with him.

He waits for Giani to return to his feet and as he does, Kain jumps up and catches Giani with an enziguri! Giani falls to the canvas and Kain goes for a cover.

Giani puts his foot on the rope.

Simone: Great ring presence from Giani there.

Kain pulls Giani to his feet and takes him by the wrist and whips him in to the ropes. Giani reverses and Kain bounces off the ropes, but Goth reaches his hand across and blind tags himself in to the match. Kain slides under Giani's legs. Kain bounces back to his feet, and quickly spins around with a spinning back elbow and catches Giani in the jaw. Giani spins around, only to be met with a kick in the gut by Goth and quickly pulled in to the ADDT!

Adams: Goth just nailed Giani with the ADDT!

Goth goes for the cover and Drew drops down to count.

Nick breaks up the cover!

Simone: This one would have been over, but Nick got involved.

Nick pulls Goth to his feet and nails him with a quick high legged clothesline, but as he returns to his feet, Kain fires shots at Nick, backing him up against the ropes. Kain steps back and runs at Nick, clotheslining him over the top rope, the speed of the attack takes both men over the top rope.

Adams: Crash and burn!

Giani gets to his feet first, looking at Goth as Goth slowly gets to his feet. Giani moves in, kicking Goth in the gut. Giani threads Goth's arm through his own legs and lifts him in the air but Goth wiggles free and lands behind Giani. He spins him around, and hooks him up, before dropping him with...

Simone: ADDT!

Goth hooks the leg and Drew drops down to make the count

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winners of the match..... KAIN AND GOTH!

Simone: Goth just pinned the SCW Heavyweight championship number one contender!

Adams: It took two ADDT's to put Giani down and if these two meet one on one in a few weeks, Giani will be looking for payback!




The scene opens up backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco alongside her brother Jake and her boyfriend Shane who are listening to the song “In Your Face” by Children of Bodom, one of the bands recently announced for the UK’s annual Bloodstock Music Festival being held at Catton Hall in Derbyshire.

Simone: Jessie isn’t in action tonight but apparently she’s just content to listen to music.

Adams: So what’s different?

The song ends and Jessie flips her messy hair that was pretty much only messy in the first place because she was headbanging to the song and her male companions do the same.

Jessie: Man, still can’t believe how much Bloodstock’s announcement pissed all over Download’s announcement.

Shane: I think you mean pissed and shitted on.

Jessie: Yeah, that works.

Jake: I may get us a pair of day tickets just for After Bridge and Rob Zombie but that’s about it, if the line-up improves I’ll probably get a weekend ticket and we’ll see about hitting two UK Festivals this year.

Jessie: Yeah and go back to the tents for the headliners.

Shane: Either way, Bloodstock will be amazing and Download…..not so much.

Shane adds and the others nod in agreement as the scene fades.




We can see the mysterious druids backstage, planning an attack on another SCW superstar when suddenly they hear a voice

Voice: Looking for someone??

They turn around and see Brother Grimm standing there with his arms crossed across his chest, they are ready to charge when suddenly a large cloak is thrown over them and that blinds them.

Simone: Hey!! Someone is taking it to the druids!!!

Adams: Is Grimm stupid? They are three of them and he is alone

Simone: If that is the case, who threw the cloak Einstein??

Adams: Err….

Suddenly we see a chair blast across the heads and backs of all three men, dropping them as the cloak is still over them. Finally a hand pulls it off of them and we see the SCW Heavyweight champion stand there with a now beat down chair in his hand.

Simone: HEY!!! Payback is coming sooner than we thought!!

Goth: You think you can just get away with whatever you thought was cool?? Guess again, me and Grimm are never one to back down from a fight. I just hope you guys will have enough balls to accept the beatdown of your lives

With that he blasts the chair one more time across the men as he and his tag team partner walk off as the fans cheer them on.




Backstage at the catering table, Misty's new guy friend, Seth is seen looking over the assortment of goodies that SCW ordered for their talent and employees. He almost seems hesitant to take anything, given the fact he is not employed here, when Misty walks up behind him.

Misty: I'm giving you permission to take some of that food, Seth. You don't have to just stare at it all night.

Misty laughs as she walks up next to him, grabbing two plates and handing on to Seth. He reluctantly takes it.

Seth: You're allowed to eat the food, Misty. You work for this company. I don't.

Misty: So? You're here with me, so I say you can eat the damn food. Now who is the one who needs to lighten up?

Misty puts a few of the delicious goodies on her plate, while Seth still holds himself back. After a minute or so, he shrugs and starts filling his plate with food.

Seth: So how did it go with fake-bake Jersey boy?

Misty turns and looks at Seth, unable to hold back the laugh that escapes her mouth. Seth smiles, proud of that comment as well, but Misty shakes her head.

Misty: Hey, be nice. Giani isn't all that bad...not always anyway. And it went fine, obviously.

Seth: Why do you say obviously? Judging by the way you looked at him, I wasn't so sure about that.

Misty shakes her head and she grabs a bottle of water. Seth follows suit and takes a bottle of water for himself.

Misty: Look, I don't want to talk about Giani anymore. You're going back to Chicago tomorrow, so I'd like to focus on having a good time before you--

Seth: Wait a second...Don't tell me you actually...

Seth doesn't finish his sentence as he looks at Misty with a pressing stare. Misty looks away, knowing full well what he was going to ask. Seth lets out a loud laugh, causing other people around to turn and stare at them. Misty turns and shushes him.

Misty: You think you can laugh a little louder? I don't think everyone heard you.

Seth: I'm sorry. That just really comes as a surprise to me. I didn't think you went for guys like that. I thought you preferred guys more like...

Misty: More like what, Seth? You seem to know me so well, so let's hear this.

Misty sets her plate of food and her bottle of water down on the table and stares at Seth, folding her arms. She waits patiently for his answer, but he lets out an awkward laugh, then shakes his head and shrugs.

Seth: Nevermind, it doesn't matter. You were right, this food is pretty good.

Misty's jaw drops open slightly, and she stares at Seth, shocked and a little confused at his sudden change of subject. She shakes her head then walks away, heading back to the locker room areas. Seth watches on, confused and he calls out to her.

Seth: What? What did I say?!

He quickly sets the plate of food down and chases after her, but she doesn't seem to want to talk to him any longer as she disappears down another hall, letting out a loud frustrated growl.




Justin Decent: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS! Introducing first, representing The Seven Deadly Sins… Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, standing at 5 feet 7 inches, weighing in at 176 pounds, he is…DESSSSSPAYYYYYYYYRE!!!

The heavy beat of Orgy's 'Opticon' begins to sound over the public address system of the arena. The fans turn their attention to the stage atop the entry ramp to await the entrance of the 'disturbed one' and their wait is rewarded. Despayre steps out onto the stage, holding his teddy bear, Angel, by the fuzzy arm in one hand, with Synn at his side and they are greeted enthusiastically with cheers. The gothic mental case briefly holds 'Angel' up in the air to let 'him' bask in the cheers too, and they then start to move along the entry aisle, and closer towards the ring. His movements are slow, methodical, and he avoids being touched by the many hands reaching out to him but allows his bear to greet the fans. Arriving at ringside, he slides "Angel" into the ring and rolls under the bottom rope himself. Again grabbing his 'security' bear, he crawls across the ring on all fours and deposits himself into a neutral corner where Synn joins him for the pre-match pep talk.

Justin Decent: And his partner and fellow Tag Team Champion… Hailing from Parts Unknown, standing at 6 feet 8 inches, weighing in at 300 pounds, he is… RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!

Monster by Skillet starts to play over the sound system, as thick smoke and red strobe lights flash near the backstage entrance. The music plays for several seconds before the Sin of Wrath, Rage, appears from behind the curtain. He stands at the entrance for a few moments before he raises his clenched fist above him, eliciting cheers from the crowd. He makes his way to the ring with a dark look on his face. Once he gets to the ring, he pulls himself up to the apron, using the second rope, then steps over the top rope to enter the ring. Rage looks to the backstage entrance as his music dies down and he waits for his opponent to enter.

Justin Decent: And their challengers… Introducing first, making his way to us from Birmingham, England, standing at 5 feet 11 inches, and weighing in at 225 pounds, he is… SIIIIIIMON JOOOOOOOOONESSS!!!

The intro of “Simon Says” By Drain STH plays over the arena’s PA system, prompting Simon Jones to walk through the curtains and out onto the stage, to a cheer from the fans. As he makes his way towards the ring, Simon slaps hands with some of the fans on either side of the aisle. After arriving at the ringside area, Simon climbs the steps up onto the ring apron, then steps through the ropes, and as he does so he glances to his left, then to his right, before walking to the side of the ring closest to the camera and pausing to look out at the crowd. Simon then turns around and walks towards the opposite side of the ring, but before he reaches the ropes, he turns to his right and heads for the corner of the ring, where he climbs to the second turnbuckle, to further cheers and applause from the fans. Before he can say anything, the opening drums to Five Finger Death Punch's "I.M.Sin" 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.

"What a fucking poser, that's all you'll ever be!
Don't get any closer, or you'll meet the real me!
I am, who I am, you can't destroy me!
I am, what I am, you can't deny me!

I want out, but I could never surrender.
Try and brake me down, but I won’t let you win.
You can call me out, but I know you’re a pretender.
You may think your god, but I know that I am sin!"

Justin Decent: Making his way to the ring at this time. He hails from , . Weighing in tonight at 375 pounds, He is “The Freight Train of Pain”… CASEYYYYYYY WILLLLLLIAMS!!!

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

"I am SIN! I am SIN!
I am SIN! I am SIN!

I won’t fucking buy it!
I never have and I never will!
Keep fucking trying!
I'm just waiting for the blood to spill!"

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.

DING! DING! DING!

Casey and Rage stand in the middle of the ring, staring each other down, sending the fans into an uproar in this Battle of the Giants. Williams stops and looks around for a minute, taking a deep breath before both men tie up in a battle of power. The slightly bigger Williams starts off strong, powering Rage toward the corner, but a knee to his stomach shifts the power back into Rage’s favor. He wraps his arm around Williams’ neck, steadying him for a snap suplex, but Williams jabs fierce fists into Rage’s side, and they return to a tie up. Williams butts the crown of his head directly between Rage’s eyes and then he shifts a barrage of repeated, alternating knees into Rage, and getting him down to one knee. Williams hits him with a hard right hook, and Rage comes back with a jab to the stomach. Williams sucks it up and tosses Rage across the ring and as he comes back. Williams plants a big boot to Rage’s fSimon, nearly taking his head off. He lets out a primal scream before stomping around the ring, much to the fans’ dismay.

Simone: A strong offense built right off the bat from Casey Williams.

Adams: That won’t be enough to stop Rage from taking it right back to Williams though. When Rage gets in the zone, he is nearly unstoppable.

He goes to pick Rage off of the mat, but Rage swings his leg up and kicks Carter in the head, sending him stumbling backward. In an excellent display of showmanship, Rage flings Williams toward the ropes, only this time, Williams counters it, sending him the other way, until Rage reverses it yet again. As Williams comes back, Rage goes for a rough hip toss, but Williams smacks him across the back of the head. While Rage is stunned, Williams reverses the momentum for a hip toss of his own. Rage stalls it by planting his feet firmly on the ground. From there, he hits a series of fast and furious jabs to Williams’ stomach and face. He stops and bounces off of the nearby ropes, only to have Williams lift him up into a Tilt-A-Whirl Slam. This time, though, Rage wraps his legs around Williams’s neck, stalling it long enough to handstand. The monster, Rage, comes down quickly and tackles Casey into the corner, repeatedly hitting shoulderbutts before letting Casey fall. Rage stomps away at Williams who is rolling around on the canvas. Jasmine St. John comes over to break it up, causing Rage to get a grip, taking deep breaths. Rage takes a few steps back as Williams slowly gets up to his hands and knees. Rage measures it up carefully and then charges forward, punting Williams’s chin like a football!

Adams: Did you see that? He bent it like Beckham there!

Simone: Rage has really turned it around here.

Rage picks Williams up from the mat and flings him against the ropes. Williams ducks a Clothesline attempt, and dives over for a tag to Simon. Simon gets in the ring, but Rage is quick to hit a high kick to the much smaller Simon’s head. Rage whips Simon into the ropes, and he runs into the opposing ropes for a clothesline, which Simon ducks, and catches Rage with a hard jab to the ribs. He is quick to land a hard elbow to Rage’s back, then another to the back of his head, sending him crashing down to the mat. He goes for a legdrop on Rage’s back, but Rage rolls out of the way, and pulls himself to his feet. As Simon attempts to do the same, Rage grabs onto his hair, and begins laying in punches. The fans cheer as he connects with two, but on his third attempt, Simon grabs his fist. He swings his legs around and brings Rage down in a Triangle Choke Hold. He wrenches Rage’s neck, causing him to gasp for breath. He fights to back out of it, but Rage has to steady a hold on him to let go. Rage leans forward, picking himself up as far as he can. This causes Simon to wrench even tighter. In a desperate attempt, Rage reaches as far under Simon as he can, cradling his dead weight, and he lifts him up into position for a sitting powerbomb, which comes crashing down, breaking the hold as both men lay there, stunned.

Adams: Both men are laid out, and Despayre is anxiously reaching out for the tag but…

Simone: Oh! Williams remedied that situation right away by hitting a Superkick right from the apron!

Rage is the first one to his feet. He grabs onto Simon’s head, falling down with a Neckbreaker. He picks Simon up from the mat, but Simon tosses Rage toward the turnbuckle, but Rage reverses it, sending Simon to the corner instead. As Rage follows, Simon catches himself and he leaps up and over Rage. Simon waits until Rage is turned back around, and he nails him with a backward shoulderbutt. He turns around and as he charges forward, he pounds one knee into Rage’s midsection, followed by the other knee. He climbs up over Rage, and initiates a count as the fans count it out for him.

Rage jabs Simon in the most convenient of places, the groin. As Simon’s face sours in pain, he shoves him forward in an attempt to get him off. Instead, Simon brings him down in a monkey flip, rolling over with it into a pin attempt.

2!

Rage kicks out and Simon stomps his foot in frustration. Simon picks up a prone Rage, and then he wraps his arms around Rage’s waist for a German Suplex. The audience cheers as Simon plays up to them, taking a moment to nod with their cheers.

Simone: Simon is really getting the crowd going tonight, but one has to wonder… Is it possible that we could be seeing new Tag Team Champions?

Adams: Despite their differences, Casey and Simon have strategizes by isolating Rage and knocking out every attempt to get Despayre into this match.

As soon as the cheers start, Rage slowly starts to pump his fists, starting at his side. He reaches up and begins doing it, and then he brings his elbow, crashing it hard against Simon’s head. As Simon stumbles backward, Rage swings around the back and sets up for a Pumphandle Slam. The crowd goes crazy as Rage begins to shout out at them. He lifts Simon up into the air, only to have Simon wrap his legs around his neck for the second Triangle Choke of the match. He brings Rage down to the ground this time, really holding on hard. Rage starts to go limp and Jasmine comes over to check on him. He lifts his arm, and lets it fall. He throws up one finger and shouts along with it. She does it again, pausing before dropping the limp arm again. He throws up two fingers and shouts “TWO!” She goes to grab onto Rage’s arm again, but before he can even lift it, Rage clinches his fist, punching as hard as he can in a furious attempt to escape. Once he has the slightest chance, he tears loose from the hold, only to come crashing back into the Jasmine, knocking her hard against the turnbuckle.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Adams: For the first time in history, Jasmine St. John, or any referee for that matter, does not fall unconscious!

Jasmine holds onto her stomach and scolds Rage. Rage mutters under his breath as he stumbles over toward Despayre. Simon clubs him across the back, stopping him short. He grabs onto Rage’s leg to drag him back to the center of the ring, but Rage leaps up, hitting an Enziguri. He rolls over and tags Despayre into the match. Despayre charges into the ring, but Williams climbs into the ring, lifting the high flyer up into the air with a record setting Back Body Drop. He shouts ”You’re welcome!” to Simon before exiting the ring, scoffing at his “unappreciative” partner. Simon waves it off and picks up one arm and one leg of Despayre. He slings him up into the air and then drops him down hard against the mat. He slings him up and onto his shoulders, ready for a Death Valley Driver. but as he gets close to the ropes, Rage hits a hard high kick to Williams’s face, dropping him down with Despayre on top.

1!

1.5!

Simone: Simon Jones just tossed Despayre off of him as if he were light as a feather.

Adams: Hey basically is, Belinda! Oh, and Despayre is scrambling to his feet, and it might be possible that we see Despayre’s first move in the entire match!

Unfortunately, Casey Williams quickly climbs over the top rope and strikes him down with a Clothesline to Despayre. He makes his way over to Rage, but Williams tackles him through the ropes. Both men fight on the outside while Simon shrugs his shoulders. Simon picks Despayre off of the ground. He connects with a Snap Suplex, but isn’t finished there. He comes back around with another Snap Suplex. He raises up, bringing Despayre with him, flinging him over with a Fisherman’s Suplex, hooking the leg for the pin.

KICKOUT!

Despayre rolls up, stumbling to his feet as Simon kips up. Simon turns around and Despayre jumps up onto his shoulders, looking for a Hurricanrana. Simon drops him down for a Powerbomb, and then tosses him up onto his shoulders. He looks around, gauging the reaction of the fans before landing with the a second and third Powerbomb! He stands up, readying himself for the pin when Casey Williams reaches in for a sneak tag. Simon argues with Casey, but Casey is in no mood to listen. He lays in several stomps, picking Despayre up from the mat afterwards. He sends Despayre into the ropes, and as he comes back, Williams boots him in the gut. He leaps over, spinning Despayre with him to land The Broken Soul, a Sitdown Powerbomb! He rolls Despayre over for the pin.

1!

Rage comes in and bashes Casey from behind with a boot to the back of his head. He flings Casey up in a fit of rage (HA!), and boots him in the gut. He lays Casey out with The Death Drop, dusting his hands off, satisfied with his handiwork. Out of nowhere, Simon hits the Into Oblivion on Rage, laying him out on the mat as the fans cheer for the former Heavyweight Champ. His adrenaline is pumping through his veins as his nostrils flare. He hasn’t noticed that Despayre is back on his feet, and isn’t even remotely prepared for…

Adams: LOBOTOMY! And Despayre takes advantage of the downed Casey!

Simone: It’s like David pinning Goliath!

1!

3!

Adams: They did it!

Justin Decent: Ladies and Gentlemen… Your winners and STILL SCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… DESPAYRE and RAGE!!!

Simone: I’m surprised that Simon and Casey were able to coexist to even come close to winning those titles…

Adams: I’m not so sure how long that is going to last!

As Rage and Despayre collect their belts, celebrating their hard fought win, Casey slowly gets up from the mat. He seems stunned, however he realizes what has happened as he sees his opponents hands raised in victory, and his face turns sinister. He watches as they leave, joining Synn on the outside on their way to the back. Casey grabs onto the ropes, stomping the mat in anger as he rips the top rope partially off. He slams his hands against his head as he goes into a rage of his own. He looks down at Simon, and without a second thought, he lifts Simon up from the mat and goes for the Kiss of Death. However, Simon ducks it, spearing the giant back into the ropes. With the top rope missing, Casey falls over backwards, tumbling hard to the concrete. Simon leaps over the ropes as Casey gets to his knees. Both men go into an all out brawl as the fans burst into cheers. Security comes down to ringside as quickly as possible.

Simone: That’s all the time we have for tonight… I’m Belinda Simone…

Adams: … and I’m Jason Adams, signing off for this edition of Climax Control!
