The show opens up inside of the jam packed Azure Resort and Spa with the fans standing and cheering, waving for the attention of the camera. They hold up their signs that show their support for their favorite Sin City Wrestling superstars and Bombshells and the chant is heard throughout the building;
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
The camera pans across the glutted audience and ring announcer Justin Decent stands in the ring, bare chested and dressed in a pair of lycra black booty shorts and leather boots. He waves to the cheering crowd and brings the microphone up to address the crowd.
Justin: Hello everybody and welcome back to Zakynthos, Greece, and to Sin City Wrestling's 2002 Greece Lightning Tour!
The crowd on hand cheers with hearty enthusiasm.
Justin: Now without further ado, may I present to you the mistress of ceremonies! Our Hostess with the Mostess ... Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers as the music for Madonna's "Vogue" plays across the sound system of the resort and the stage is blanketed in darkness until a spotlight turns on, and there stands Amanda in old lady makeup and a gray wig - but in a shimmering turquoise business suit and stiletto heels. The spotlight sweeps the stage and there stand four young, fit Greek men each in different poses.
Amanda: Where's my walker at?
Snapping the fingers on one hand, she brings the microphone up and the performance begins!
Amanda: Break a bone!
Break a bone!
Old, old, old!
Old, old, old!
Run around, dressing like a teenager,
It's so pathetic and sad!
You are so sad!
Like a slut, having sex with any stranger,
You need attention so bad!
You need it so bad!
You think you can still pull off sex kitten,
But honey you're a cougar!
Saggy tits, turkey neck,
You should be sitting,
Look in the mirror, you see Freddy Krueger!
You know it,
Bitch you're old! Old!
They all say you dated Moses!
Hey hey hey!
Bitch you're old! Old!
The hump on your back says osteoporosis!
Old!
It's time to retire!
Lady Gaga, Katy Perry!
Adele and Debbie Harry!
There's J-Lo, and Madonna!
You could even be her Grandma!
Taylor Swift, Date online,
Look more like, Father Time!
There's no one you won't do,
But even Cher's younger than you.
Got no style, got no grace,
Queen you better lift that face!
Botox, lasers, fillers too,
Rest assured, I love you!
Crows feet couldn't be deeper,
Think I see the Grim Reaper!
Maybe you should call Joan Rivers'
Plastic surgeon, she'll deliver
Old!
Old!
Ooo!
You've got to take it easy when you're an antique!
Ooo!
You've got to take it easy, you'd die for a sleeking!
Ooo!
Come on, bitch! You're old!
Old old old old!
The song comes to an end with a flamboyant pose from Amanda as the four men strike poses close up beside her as the spotlight winks out to hearty cheers and applause!
The camera then switches over to the broadcasters table where sits Belinda Simone and Jason Adams.
Simone: hello everyone and welcome to the Azure Resort and Spa for Sin City Wrestling Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone...!
Adams: What do you think came first... the color orange or the fruit...? I mean, I'm Jason Adams!
Simone: The Superstars and Bombshells of SCW are here in beautiful Zakynthos, Greece for a weekend of luxury, and tonight to entertain the fans as only they can as the Road to Into the Void XI begins next week! But tonight we kick off eight matches as the SCW powers-that-be have given Kayla Richards her fondest wish and she debuts tonight against Bea Barnhart in the opening contest!
Adams: Levana Cade is out to pick up where she left off in the Blast From the Past finals as she takes on Jessie Salco who is hoping to break her losing streak here in 2022!
Simone: We have a Triple Threat match up next when it is Mercedes Vargas and Ms. Jon who may very well spell disaster for the third woman in, namely Seleana Zdunich!
Adams: JC has got his wish and he'll meet Fenris at Into the Void XI in Athens, but tonight he faces three-time Internet Champion Agostino Romano!
Simone: Max Burke wants to face the best in his quest to rise to the top of SCW, and he has a man in the ring this week that fits that very bill in the form of former World Heavyweight, Internet and Mixed Tag Team Champion Austin James Mercer!
Adams: Amber Ryan asked for a match where she would get to team again with Matthew "the Raven" Knox but I don't think she expected the bosses to book their opponents to be none other than Amber's husband's Saviors teammates Kat Jones and "Godly" Ken Davison!
Simone: It took the intervention of ALL of the Gemstones to ensure Diamond Steele left Los Angeles as the new Roulette Champion, but now the Gemstones have been banned from ringside and Diamond must once again face Keira Fisher-Johnson in a rematch for the gold!
Adams: And the Main Event! For the World Heavyweight Championship! Mac Bane cost Supreme Machine from possibly becoming the number one con tender for the Internet Championship but tonight has to face him as the big monster looks to not just pulverize Bane into meatloaf, but also win the World Heavyweight title all at the same time!
Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!
The giant Tron screen fires up and we see Bea Barnhart on the screen. When the crowd sees Bea on the screen they rise up in a murmur. Bea is in her wrestling attire and the intensity in her look makes it known she's ready for her match to stomp Kayla Richards into the trash dumpster.
Bea: In a few minutes I'll enter the ring against Kayla Richards, to easily and soundly destroy her, with my performance in the match setting the tone for the rest of Climax Control 327. My performance will set the standard all the other wrestlers on the card will attempt, and fail, to achieve.
Bea goes a fist pump.
Bea: Kayla during my comments for the week I ran down the five items I have in store for you. Enjoy as those five things, and most likely many more, will come your way in a few minutes.
Bea flashes a huge grin.
Bea: Be ready to lose to me, Kayla, as I'm ready to soundly defeat you!
Bea flashes a CUT signal and the camera person cuts their camera feed and the large Tron screen goes dark leaving the fans murmuring.
Justin moves to enter the ring and brings the microphone to his lips as Jacob Summers checks the ropes of the ring.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...From Lawrenceville Georgia...Bea Barnhart!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.
Justin: And her opponent...
Adams: This match was demanded by this newcomer. Let's go back to Justin for the introduction.
Simone: I have to agree Jason but Bea doesn't look that worried.
The voice of Kayla Richards gives way to the opening guitar riff of Bad Omens "Like a Villian" The lights flash from being on and bright to dark and switching between a dark purple and red. Kayla Richards steps out onto the stage in her gear, a black leather jacket over it, her long hair flowing down as she makes her way to the ring, she runs and slides up and across the apron on one knee before getting into the ring and putting both her hands in the air, one crossed over the other to make a "K" with her fingers before they turn into a double bird and move down to a fingergun pose pointed at the crowd.
Justin: From Norwich, East Anglia England, she is the Dream Killer, Kayla Richards!
Adams: This is the debut of Kayla Richards and from the look of her, she is going to be stiff competition for the Bombshells here in Sin City Wrestling.
Summers motions for both women to join him in the middle of the ring and begins to talk to both about a clean match which only makes Kayla smirk evilly. Motioning them back to their corners, he points at the time keeper to start the match.
Simone: From that grin Jason, I suspect that Kayla is going to be making it very difficult for Bea in this match. But she shouldn't count out Ms Barnhart either
DING DING DING!
Kayla moves into the middle of the ring as does Bea and both women glare at the other as they begin to circle each other. Lunging forward, the two lock up in a collar and elbow tie up that neither bombshell can leverage. Kayla ducks down and manages to get under the hold and push Bea back towards the corner. Bea holds up her hands as Kayla is told to release the hold by Summers who moves between the two. Kayla backs away but is caught with a hard right hand from Bea over the shoulder of Summers that sends Richards staggering back, her hand moving to her lip to check for blood. She begins to grin as she slowly turns around and is caught with a forearm from Barnhart that forces her backwards. Bea follows up that forearm with another one that rocks Kayla back more against the ropes. Bea then quickly moves back enough to uses a roundkick to the head of Richards that sends her to the mat but she still has the ring positioning to roll out of the ring. Bea moves to the ropes intent on grabbing Kayla and catches a handful of hair to pull her up to the apron.
Adams: Bea Barnhart using the long dark hair of Kayla Richards to control her and bring her back into the ring.
On the apron, Kayla reaches behind the head of Bea and steps off the apron to hang her over the top rope that slingshots Bea backwards into the center of the ring. Kayla slides under the ropes and slithers towards Bea who is curled up clutching at her throat. Richards rolls her over and makes a pin attempt but Bea kicks out at one. Getting to her knees, Kayla stands and pulls her opponent up as well. With Bea standing tall, Kayla slams a knife edge chop into the chest of Barnhart forcing her to clutch at her chest in pain. Richards waits for Bea to turn and uses another knife edged chop to rock her back into the corner. Raking the eyes, Kayla has Bea rubbing at them as she backs away, a sadistic grin on her face as she runs towards the corner to hit a vicious corner dropkick that sends Bea chest first into the turnbuckle which drives the air from her lungs. Richards rolls through the dropkick and rises to one knee as Bea lays on the bottom turnbuckle fighting for breath. Kayla slowly rises and moves towards the corner where she pulls Bea to her feet then catching her by the back of the head, she hits a running bulldog that sends Bea face first to the mat.
Simone: Kayla is just vicious in this match Jason. I think she wants to prove to the Bombshell locker room that there is a dangerous new Bombshell they need to worry about.
Bea clutches her face and is kicking the canvas as Richards rolls over and then crawls to roll Bea into a pin but Barnhart kicks out quickly. Kayla looks up at Summers demanding a faster count. Bea uses the distraction to roll out of the ring. Leaning on the apron, Barnhart watches Richards intently as she catches her breath. Kayla moves towards the ropes and Bea reaches in to pull Kayla off her feet then drags her towards the steel ringpost where she wraps the leg around the steel and puts her foot on the steel as she yanks hard on the leg making Richards grunt in pain. Bea moves then whips the leg of Kayla around the steel once more. Kayla is able to pull herself back into the ring clutching at her leg while on the outside, Bea has her hands raised to taunt the crowd. Kayla is pulling herself towards the opposite ropes as Bea slides between the ropes. She watches Kayla slowly rise and notes the slowness of her standing on her leg that had been wrapped around the steel.
Adams: Bea is beginning to sense that she has Kayla on the ropes.
Simone: She had better not take Richards being hurt for granted otherwise, she is going to end up being too cocky.
Bea charges across the ring with a vicious clothesline to the head of Richards sending her hard against the ropes. Kayla sags on the ropes, her arms the only thing keeping her upright as Bea moves away then turns with roundhouse kick that sends Kayla into the corner. Bea follows her in and begins to send hard knees into the midsection of Richards until Summers motions her to back away. Barnhart turns her back on Richards who is being checked on by Jacob but seeing Barnhart's back, she charges out of the corner and takes Bea down with another running bulldog that bounces her face on the canvas. Screaming in pain, Bea puts her hands up to her face as she lays on the mat.
Simone: Is this where I can say that I told Bea so? She turned her back and Kayla took advantage.
Kayla rolls to her feet and moves to where Bea is laying. Reaching down, she pulls Barnhart to her feet before starting to hit with martial arts kicks that Barnhart desperately tries to avoid. One final kick spins Bea into the ropes and when she rebounds, Bea is dropped to the mat with a leaping calf kick from Richards that rocks her out of her boots. Kayla moves back against the ropes, taunting the fans and Bea to get up. Bea is slowly making her way to her hands and knees then one knee before she is surprised by the step up enziguri hit by Richards that sends her staggering into the middle turnbuckle. Kayla slowly rises as Bea struggles in the corner to rise to her feet. Summers checks on her as Kayla moves towards the pair. Jacob turns and motions for Richards to move back as Bea turns and leans back in the corner recovering. Summers moves and Kayla rushes the ropes and hits a springboard knee to the head of Barnhart sending her to the mat.
Simone: My goodness, Kayla Richards is starting to take over in the ring. I wonder if Bea even knows where she is Jason.
Kayla rolls the prone Barnhart onto her back and then attempts a pin but Barnhart shoots her arm up in desperation at two. Kayla Richards gets to her knees and then reaching down for Bea's hair, pulls the bombshell up into a rain of forearms to the head. Summers looks to see if she is using a closed fist and then begins to count after warning Richards to let Bea go. Richards drops the head of Barnhart to the mat then gets to her feet where she moves away from Bea who is being checked on by Jacob. Going to the corner, she watches as Bea is rolling to her hands and knees. Resting up on her knees she doesn't see Richards move around behind her. Summers backs away as Richards sneers viciously at Bea who is teetering to her feet. Kayla calls out to her. Bea turns slowly to be surprised by the dreamkiller from Kayla that rocks her hard. Bea sways but doesn't go down to the mat. Kayla sees that and viciously hits a second dreamkiller that takes Bea to the mat where she lays unmoving. Kayla kneels and rolls Bea over before pinning her shoulders to the mat.
ONE!
Adams: Bea Barnhart is out
TWO!
Adams: And I don't think that she will be able to come back after two dreamkillers.
Simone: Wait...is Bea making a comeback?
THREE!
Adams: Little too late for it because there is the three.
Summers motions for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Kayla Richards!
Kayla rises and has her hand raised in victory as Bea slumps over to her side then slowly rolls to the ropes and slides under the bottom one to the outside where she slowly makes her way up the ramp leaving Kayla to celebrate her debut win in the ring.
Adams: What a debut from Kayla Richards. I don't know if Bea even knew what hit her. It was a very strong statement that the Bombshells backstage should be paying attention to.
Kayla climbs the turnbuckles to taunt the fans as Like a Villan blares over the arena.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco standing by ready to be interviewed by Pussy Willow.
Pussy: Jessie, coming up next you are facing the latest graduate of the Go Gym Levana Cade in her first singles match! Levana has been quiet all week, what are your thoughts on this?
Jessie: I don't know what to make of her silence but it seems to me like she put all her eggs in one basket, namely the Blast from the Past Tournament!
Pussy: And you think she hasn't been able to get over the fact that she lost in the Semi-Finals?
Jessie: Look at her performance in the Bombshell Gauntlet! She went from the Bombshell to watch to the second Bombshell to be eliminated after Chloe Benton! The only way her fall from grace could be harder is if she was eliminated BEFORE Chloe! Unless Levana gets her act together she won't last long in SCW.
Pussy: And if she does?
Jessie: If she does get her act together then we are looking at a future World Bombshell Champion as Levana joins the ranks of the other Go Gym Graduates to hold the top gold! But as of right now? She's just one rung above Chloe in the pecking order!
Pussy: Isn't that harsh? She did make it to the Semi-Finals!
Jessie: She did! But again, look at her performance since the match between her and Jaycee and Myra and Max, if she was still motivated then she probably would've secured the Future Star of the Year win by now but that loss took her spot in the finals and her motivation away from her and tonight she pays the price.
Pussy: You brought up a story in your promo, the old man and the Spartans?
Jessie: I found that whilst googling stuff about Greece that I could use in my promo and I thought it fit the story heading into this match, me the old soldier against Levana the young upstart! But rather than being a respectful Spartan towards the old warrior, Levana has joined the crowd of jeering Greeks! Well, she's about to find out that this old soldier can still put on a hell of a fight! Now if you excuse me, I have a match to win!
Jessie walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...
The arena cuts to black as the slow guitar intro of "Blood Lightning" by Lutharo is heard over the PA System, right as the song launches into the opening guitar solo the lights start to flash across the arena before a single spotlight shines on Jessie headbanging to the song.
Justin: From Miami, Florida, please welcome Jessie Salco!
Jessie posses at the top of the ramp just as the clean vocals of Krista is heard over the PA before she makes her way down the ramp, Jessie rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd again as the song fades.
Justin: and her opponent....
A short but punchy electric guitar rift hits the speakers before the pounding of drums slams through the PA system. Stealing the fans attention, driving their eyes towards the stage. The familiar notes of "Paranoia" by A Day to Remember continues to barrel through the speakers at a deafening level, meanwhile the lighting that looms over the ramp way starts to flicker ghostly whites in time with the music. Stepping out from behind the curtains, Levana Cade makes her way towards the middle of the stage before she comes to a stop. She looks out towards the fans, as the cameras pan in on her blue eyes, her glare is as cold as ice as she surveys the crowd. Reaching up she flicks the collar of her oversized leather jacket before she makes her way towards the ring.
Justin: Making her way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada... Levana Caaaaaaddeee.
Levana makes it to the ring, disregarding the fans' outstretched hands along the way. Approaching the steps slowly... painfully... slowly she walks up them before both her feet hit the ring apron. Walking around two sides of the six-sided ring, Levana takes her time before stepping over the middle rope. Once inside the ring Levana removes her leather jacket before carefully handing it to Justin. Rocking the back of her shoulders against the ropes, Levana waits for the match to begin, her eyes never leaving her opponent. As the lights and speaker system return to normal.
The ref moves in and check both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Cade and Salco circle the ring the once, as Cade does a brief little warm up before they move in and lock up, where the jockey for position but Salco is quick to overpower Cade and drives her into the corner, where Salco shoves Cade hard a few times, as the ref moves in and goes to break it up, but Cade pushes Salco forward and themselves out of the corner before Salco hits an arm drag on Cade, which Salco keeps in place but Cade rolls through and gets Salco pinned to the mat and proceeds to bounce Salco's head and shoulders off the mat before Salco counters and rolls Cade onto her back before proceeding to release the lock and grabs Cade's arm and locks in an arm bar before pushing on Cade's shoulder and pushing her down on the mat.
Simone: Salco and Cade lock up in the centre of the ring to kick things off, but Salco overpower Cade and drives her into the corner, where she drives Cade are into the corner a couple of times but Cade pushes Salco back, but Salco responds with an arm drag.
Adams: Interesting start here for both, but it's Salco gets the early upper hand on Cade.
Cade kicks her legs about as she tries shift her body as she grips at shoulder as she grimaces in slightly pain as she shuffles her knees towards her body, which forces Salco to adjust her stance and fully stands to her feet from a kneeling position. Cade gets to her knees, and she grabs Salco by the leg with her free arm and takes her down to the mat and quickly moves to put in a headlock on Salco.
Adams: Cade looks to find a way out of this move, as the move looks uncomfortable, but she manages to get to her knees and she manages to adjust and grab Salco by the leg taking her down and then into a headlock.
Salco quickly respond as she sits up and grabs Cade around the neck but Cade rolls to her side to add that extra pressure on Salco, but Salco works an arm in to break Cade's grip as Cade tries to crank on Salco's neck but doesn't have any effect, as Salco places a hand on Cade's free hand and shrugs free from the headlock and quickly counters and grabs her arm, but Cade links her hands to make sure that Salco doesn't lock in an arm bar.
Simone: Nice headlock from Cade but Salco is quick to sit up and grabs Cade as she seeks to break the headlock. Cade rolls to the side as she looks o stop Salco from capitalising on the headlock, but Salco methodically and slowly wriggles free and counters.
Salco tries to break Cade's grip with little success before releasing and hits a forearm shot into Cade's back, which does the trick and Cade cries out before Salco hooks her arm again, but Cade twists and gets to her knees before getting to her feet, where she manages to counter and grab Salco's arm and push on her shoulders before they move around, and Cade takes Salco down to the mat.
Adams: Salco gets a little frustrated from Cade and drives a forearm into her spine, which almost works as Cade keeps her hands locks. Cade battles back to her feet and counters and sends Salco down to the mat.
Salco tries to crawl away to get free, but Cade put extra pressure on Salco's shoulder to ensure she doesn't continue to move, Cade places her hand on Salco's head, as Salco begins to move her legs and gets to her knees as she pushes herself up, which Cade reluctantly removes her hand from Salco's head before hitting an arm drag as she seeks to look in an arm bar, but Salco gets her lets up and wraps them around Cade's head and locks in a headscissors.
Simone: Salco at first to tries to get free with little luck as Cade puts on extra pressure. But soon Salco battle back but Cade hits an arm drag and looks for another arm bar, but Salco gets her legs up and grabs Cade into a headscissors.
Cade right away kicks her legs about as she grabs at Salco's leg as she tries to seek a way out, she has a think before moving and twisting her body as she gets o her feet but remains stuck between Salco's leg before rising up as she tries to push herself backwards, but Salco blocks it a couple of times until Cade manages to get over as she grabs Salco's legs and goes for a bridging surprise pin...
Adams: Cade tries very quickly to seek a way out, but she takes a moment to contemplate and then she begins to twist and turns and she manages to get to her feet and then pushes herself backwards after a couple of attempts into a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Salco kicks out and quickly rolls Cade sideways, where she hooks her arms and pulls herself and Cade up, as she looks to hit Cade with a double underhook facebuster, but Cade blocks it and Salco tries again but again Cade blocks it and she lifts Salco up and over her back with Salco landing on her back. Cade takes a step backwards and delivers a stomp on Salco's torso and Salco rolls away holding her stomach as Cade turns and moves to Salco and hits an elbow drop.
Simone: Salco kicks out and she pulls herself and Cade up as she looks to hit a facebuster, but Cade blocks it twice and sends Salco up and over and she lands on her back.
Adams: Cade will know how to get out of that move, as she steps back and stops on Salco before following up with an elbow drop.
Salco holds her sternum, as Cade approaches Salco and delivers a few more stomps to Salco before grabbing her by the hair and pulls her up and then lifts her up into a vertical suplex and holds her there for a few seconds before hitting the move. Salco arches her back in pain, as Cade quickly adjusts and grabs Salco and looks to locks in the Hogtied, but Salco quickly ignores the pain from the suplex and uses her legs to shuffle around drape a leg over the bottom rope.
Adams: Salco appears to be in trouble here as Cade delivers another stomp before pulling her up into a vertical suplex position, which she hits and then goes to lock in the hogtied, but Salco somehow gets a foot on the bottom rope to break it.
The ref moves in and tells Cade to release, which she reluctantly does, but she climbs to her feet and grabs Salco's foot and drags her away from the ropes before pulling her up once more, but Salco grabs Cade and rolls her up for a surprise pin....
Simone: Cade looks to finish Salco, but Salco grabs Cade and rolls her up.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Adams: Tight package and somehow Salco wins.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Jessie Salco.
Salco's music hits over the p.a as Cade kicks out a little too late as Salco quickly rolls from the ring as Cade sits up wondering what had just happened as she looks around and goes to argue with the ref but the ref is with Salco.
Climax Control cuts to some pre-recorded interview footage where Andrea Hernandez is calmly sitting down on a sofa. She doesn't appear to be concerned about much, if anything and she's not looking like someone whose world is about to collapse. More than anything, as she files her nails, she's in a calm state of mind. Her personal interviewer, Angelica Romero, comes into the picture and sits down on the couch across from her.
Andrea: We're getting this over with, right?
Andrea puts her nail file away in her purse.
Angelica: Yeah...
Andrea: So, lay it on me. What do you got?
Angelica: Well, last week...
Angelica looks a bit uncomfortable when she begins her thought.
Angelica: Look, let's not beat around the bush. We all know the events of last week. So, the first thing I am going to ask is... what happened?
Andrea: I lost to someone that was better than me for one night. It doesn't make them a better wrestler than me, that's for sure.
Andrea shrugs, showing that this isn't bothering her so much.
Andrea: I know people are going to see this and they're going to be all "WELL SHE'S IN DENIAL" all while they continue to clamor and expect the breakdown to happen or while they expect me to go on Twitter and do what I used to always do. I don't give a fuck about what they think and to be honest, maybe I would've been the world champion longer if I just didn't give a fuck. I had the streak and the reign that I did because I stopped caring about what other people thought and last week doesn't take away from that. Nope. Contrary to the false narratives other people MAY want to put out there, I am SOMETHING with or without a title. I'm Andrea fucking Hernandez, damn it. I bounced back from SO many things. I'm not saying that last week didn't hurt even a little bit, but what I am saying is... you hurt, you deal, you move on.
Angelica: To be fair, contrary to what you personally may have been expecting... there wasn't some big celebration over your loss on social media nor were there any people on the roster going out publicly and saying that you're about to go downhill and that you'll never recover from this... you know... the exaggerated garbage that you dealt with after you lost the world title. Are you surprised by that?
Andrea: Oh I'm sure my first opponent that turns the camera on is going to go that predictable route but aside from that? What do I care? People have been acting like Chicken Littles about me and my career since the day I got here. They act like one loss is going to devastate me. I mean, shit, the public relations team in Sin City Wrestling needs to be fired and replaced because they ALWAYS represent me the wrong way. ALWAYS! They act like I'm scared of things that I'm not going to be scared of. They act as if I am going to be mad about something that I don't care about. Remember how they took that snide remark at me about how I was going to be mad about so and so getting a Roulette title shot AFTER I had disavowed any sort of claim whatsoever? I'm still here. The sky isn't falling. The haters? Irrelevant. I've built up enough of a resume here to BE somebody. I'm STILL one of the top women's wrestlers in this company. However, I DO wish that during my reign, I had BETTER challengers. I mean... seriously. Seleana? Jessie? That was the ONLY part of my reign that I'd say I wasn't the happiest with.
Angelica: Being the most hated wrestler last year, when you take the lack of... I guess you can say... "running up the score" on your loss last week... do you think maybe you're not so hated anymore?
Andrea: If you ask certain people on the roster, they'll be like 'well, nobody cares about you anymore to run up the score on you' because more than half this fucking Bombshells roster is PREDICTABLE as shit. If I'm NOT so hated anymore, maybe people respect me more than they used to which would be a big shock to me. Like Crystal flipping the script and praising me wasn't enough of a shock...
Angelica: She went from wanting to kill you to suddenly praising you.
Andrea: She did. But, she can't take back what's already been done. That doesn't mean that I'm not locked in on getting High Stakes back. I don't know... she changes her moods more often than the weather. You never really know with her. Oh and by the way to everyone watching, HI! I'm SO SORRY that I'm not having the MASSIVE MELTDOWN you expected me to have. The Andrea from last year called and she wanted to let you know that she's evolved well beyond that so FUCK YOU if you think that this is going to be the start of some IMAGINARY DEMISE! Hey, I was written off after I lost the world title AND after that Crystal match at High Stakes. I came out of it a better wrestler and that's exactly what is going to happen here. If there is one thing this whole win streak has given me, it's the CONFIDENCE to put things into perspective to the point where I am confident in myself to know what the fuck I'm capable of.
Angelica: Well, that naturally leads to the next question. What's next? Are you going to be seeking a rematch for the Internet title?
Andrea: No.
Angelica: You know this means that there are going to be people taking your answer there and interpreting that as "Well, she's scared to get her ass kicked by the same person again", right?
Andrea shrugs off this possibility.
Andrea: That's because they want an excuse to bring someone BETTER than them down to their level. Basic wrestling psychology 100 there. No, I'm not going for the Internet title anymore because I've SHOWN that I'm capable of BIGGER than that. I'm talking being world champion again at some point but not to worry, I'm not going to jump into the fray and start demanding a world title shot. That would be incredibly stupid of me. No, I'm doing this the 'old fashioned' way. You throw me the BEST competition that this company has to offer and I'll shut them down! PERIOD! I don't give a fuck if it's Myra, Krystal, Keira, the other Crystal, Tempest... you fucking name it. I'll knock them down. I'll let them know that not even the so called "best of the best" can bring me down. What's next is that I'm going to jump back into that main event division, because it's TIME for me to do that, and I am going to cut my teeth and bring down every single top contender for that title. When I do, when I KNOW I've done enough to get my shot, I WILL get that shot and I WILL be world champion again.
You can call it the Andrea Revenge Tour or something...
Throw me against anyone, I'll beat them down. I am NOT like SOME Bombshells that QUIT the moment they face adversity in Sin City Wrestling. I've been here for two and a half years. I'm a lifer! I'd say this interview can serve as a warning to everyone else that I'm coming back... and I don't give a SHIT about who gets in my way.
Andrea stands up from her couch and bolts from the room, leaving Angelica a bit surprised considering that this abruptly ends the interview.
Angelica: ...Andrea, there were still those other questions we talked about...
She sighs as Andrea doesn't return to the room. She's left a bit perplexed as the sit down interview cuts out.
The cameras drop to the backstage area where Ben Jordan is seen sitting in very dark sunglasses, his hair a mess, the general look of tiredness.
Ben: Alright people.
Ben waves a hand.
Ben: Tonight, I had it planned in my head that I was gonna go drop one of those pipe bomb moments where I throw in passion, where I put my heart on my sleeve and have a proper go, but ya know, some things just don't matter. What I wanna do is have a little chat about what these great people in Zante have been asking me all week. They've been chatting about you Mac.
Ben shrugs his shoulders.
Ben: I got asked the question so many times, with all the rubbish Mac has been speaking about Ben Jordan, why didn't he just call out the man who's name has been stuck in his gob for five months. Five bloody months, you couldn't keep my name out of his mouth until he had to pick an opponent. I got asked the question so many times, it lost all meaning to me. He could have taken on Max Burke, showed that he could have a go against a bloke who was runner up in Blast from the Past. He coulda picked Fenris, a fella who frankly beat one of the scariest people I've ever seen in JC. He coulda even pulled back Mark Cross, but everyone and their dog expected it to me.
Ben points to himself.
Ben: These people ain't a bunch of wally's, they've watched for five months while barbs have been chucked at each other, they saw Mac Bane come get an up close look at me while I beat his holy friend, everyone expected it to be me. Well, almost everyone.
Ben shakes his head.
Ben: I was the only one who didn't, I was the only one that expected Mac Bane to pick someone beneath him, I was the only one who knew deep down he'd have the chance to put bums in seats against someone decent, but he'd bottle it. Max Burke, Fenris, Mark Cross, even me, yeah, don't have to sell that one too much, but Matthew Knox? No slight on you Matthew, I see that you didn't ask for this, but the truth is, he's absolutely bottled it from so many.
Ben slowly shakes his head again.
Ben: People were calling me like I just lost me left gooley or something hearing his choice of opponent, but it didn't bother me half as much as what people thought. I'm actually pretty curious on how this plays out, how they are gonna get your bums in seats, but one vow of silence doesn't save five months of talking rubbish. I've been told next week, I'm gonna be back in the ring good people, and I will happily invite you down to watch me Mac, you can bring your Saviors, I mean they've been in the ring with me, I took that big belt from Goth and beat the Godly one, you're all welcome to come down there, cause when ya done toying with ya food, I'll be waiting. I don't even want ya title Mac, what I do what is you to put my name back in that gob of yours, because one way or another, when ya done messing with the likes of SuMa and Matthew Knox, there's gonna be a few other people knocking at The Saviors door.
Ben points above him as the camera pans out to see Max Burke and Fenris standing behind him.
Ben: Good luck tonight Mac.
Ben smiles as the camera cuts elsewhere.
Simone: Ms. Jon has been damn near unstoppable since her arrival here in SCW with her only loss to date being against the equally formidable Tempest at Blaze of Glory X, however tonight she faces not one but two former World Bombshell Champions in her toughest match to date as she takes on Mercedes Vargas and Seleana Zdunich!
Adams: It should be stressed that this is NOT a handicap match, rather a Triple Threat Match! However, given the combined experience levels of both Mercedes and Seleana and Ms. Jon's raw power they would be smart to work together, at least at first!
Simone: This should be an interesting match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following is a Triple Threat Match scheduled for one fall!
Coming out to the top of the ramp is Ms. Jon's manager Martin Howe III with a microphone.
Martin Howe III: "Good evening, my name is Martin Howe III, Primary Partner for the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. Tonight, I give to all of you my client, standing at 6 feet and weighing 272 pounds, she is one of the most destructive forces in all of wrestling, here is Ms. Jon!!"
The peaceful tones of "The Day the World Went Away" by Nine Inch Nails engulfs the arena as Ms. Jon comes out from the back and is led to the ring by Martin Howe III. Ms. Jon pays no attention to the crowd along the way, focused only on the destruction that she is about to cause. Getting inside the ring, Ms. Jon simply goes to her corner, waiting for the massacre that she is about to unleash to begin while Martin Howe III screams instructions from the outside.
Simone: Ms. Jon has run right through almost every opponent that she's been put in front of starting with Chloe Benton and ending with her most recent win over Kaiju Rainbow! As I already mentioned, she suffered her first loss at Blaze of Glory against Tempest but it looks like she hasn't lost a step since then!
Adams: But with all due respect to Chloe, Kaiju and even Tempest, Mercedes and Seleana are on a completely different level to those three women! Just don't tell Tempest I said that about her, I'd prefer to not to be thrown into the cheap seats from the middle of the ring!
Justin: And her opponents!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on.
Justin: From Halmstad, Sweden, Seleana Zdunich!
Simone: Seleana is usually one of our more confident competitors, but even she is keeping her distance from the monstrous Ms. Jon!
Adams: The third woman in this match could make all the difference though!
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting.
Simone: Mercedes has had a rough of a year so far, it started with her losing the Mixed Tag Titles to the Reckless Elite and then failing to dethrone Amber Ryan in her one and only Blast from the Past Tournament match! So far her only win this year was against Bea Barnhart but she'll have a rough time if she wants to bounce back from her failure to win the Bombshell Gauntlet at Blaze of Glory X!
Adams: Same can be said for Seleana who hasn't won a match since she earned the right to challenge then Bombshell Internet Champion Andrea Hernandez at Inception V and Ms. Jon might run through them both if they can't cooperate!
Drew attempts to call all three women to the middle of the ring to discuss the rules of the match with them but Seleana and Mercedes aren't budging, instead they meet up in Seleana's corner and are whispering to each other keeping an eye on their much bigger opponent as they do, without warning Seleana and Mercedes bull rush Ms. Jon backing her into a corner and firing off punches and kicks as Drew calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Either they were listening to your prematch comments Jason or Mercedes and Seleana realized that their best chance was to double team Ms. Jon!
Adams: Either way, this is the best way to approach a match like this!
Martin watches on with some concern as Mercedes and Seleana work over his client but after a few minutes Ms. Jon starts to fight back against the two former champions, attempting to backdrop Seleana to the floor and shoving Mercedes away! However, Seleana manages to land on the ring apron and uses the opportunity to hit Ms. Jon with a rising kick from the apron stunning the large Bombshell and giving Seleana enough time to attempt a springboard Hurricanrana, attempt being the keyword as Ms. Jon catches her and looks set to Powerbomb Seleana.
Simone: We knew Ms. Jon's power would come up eventually, Mercedes and Seleana have been in SCW for a lot longer but there's only a few Bombshells who can match Ms. Jon's power.
Adams: And if you want to know how much her powerbombs hurt, just ask Chloe Benton and Kaiju Rainbow, you know, once Chloe stops crying from being reminded of her match against Ms. Jon!
Indeed Ms. Jon seems set to drive Seleana through the matt with the Powerbomb but Mercedes manages to take down the large Bombshell with a spear! Seleana is still on top of Ms. Jon when the spear hits allowing her to go for the first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Ms. Jon POWERS out sending Seleana sprawling to the outside of the ring! It looked like Mercedes was going to try to break up the pin but one look at the raw power of Ms. Jon gives the Argentinian Bombshell second thoughts.
Simone: Mercedes has been with SCW almost as long as Jessie Salco has, it usually takes a lot to unnerve her.
Adams: She and Seleana are the same weight with only a few inches separating them in height, Ms. Jon just threw Seleana out of the ring like she was a small child! Off course Mercedes is having second thoughts!
Ms. Jon locks eyes with Mercedes and thinking quickly the veteran Bombshell motions to Seleana on the outside, apparently suggesting that they work together, Ms. Jon gives Mercedes an unreadable expression not really letting on what's going through her head before Ms. Jon reaches down over the ropes and grabs Seleana by her long blonde hair! Seleana tries to get away but instead gets yanked back up to the ring apron and thrown into the ring! Mercedes stomps away at Seleana for good measure before going for a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out! However, it looked like Ms. Jon was going to break up the win with an elbow drop but Mercedes doesn't catch this.
Simone: Mercedes' alliance with Seleana didn't last long and it looks like Mercedes's alliance with Ms. Jon won't even match that!
Adams: It's every Bombshell for herself in Triple Threat Matches Belinda! Even if one Bombshell outweighs the other two by over a hundred pounds and is heavier than their combined weights!
Mercedes picks up Seleana and throws her towards Ms. Jon before motioning for the massive Bombshell to start Powerbombing Seleana in the same way she did to Kaiju Rainbow during the Blaze of Glory X cycle, Mercedes takes up residence in the corner as Ms. Jon starts hitting Seleana with Powerbomb after Powerbomb but on the last one Ms. Jon turns on Mercedes but Bucklebombing Seleana into Mercedes! Both Bombshells somehow manage to stay on their feet but that just leaves them open to a running corner splash from Ms. Jon!
Simone: I stand corrected, Ms. Jon's alliance with Mercedes lasted just a little bit longer than the alliance between her and Seleana!
Adams: And now Ms. Jon is going for a pin on both Mercedes and Seleana with a hand on each Bombshell's chest! Does she really think that Mercedes and Seleana are just two more Chloe Bentons?!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes and Seleana kick out at the same time! Ms. Jon glares at Drew but Martin yells at her to stay focused so Ms. Jon drags Seleana to the centre of the ring for another pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes breaks it up! Seleana rolls away from her two opponents whilst Ms. Jon is staring a hole right through Mercedes as the veteran Bombshell backs up to the corner but thinking quickly Mercedes rakes Ms. Jon's eyes before trying to hit her with the Black Rose Overdrive!
Simone: No way! There's no way Mercedes can get Ms. Jon up for the Black Rose Overdrive, can she?!
Adams: If Mercedes actually pulls this off I'll eat my boots! And judging from the look on her face, I think Seleana's thinking the same thing!
Indeed, Seleana is looking on with a look of disbelief on her face from the ring apron as Mercedes tries to get the stunned Ms. Jon up onto her shoulders for the Black Rose Overdrive! However, the key word is "try" because for as strong as Mercedes is and as stunned as Ms. Jon is, there's no way that she can get her up for the Black Rose Overdrive before Ms. Jon recovers and hoists Mercedes up for a Samoan Drop! Seleana takes the opportunity to go for a Springboard Hurricanrana but Ms. Jon catches her whilst still holding onto Mercedes.
Simone: NO WAY! Seleana and Mercedes weigh a combined two hundred and fifty pounds!
Adams: JUST HOW STRONG IS MS. JON?!
We soon get our answer as Ms. Jon powerbombs Seleana whilst nailing Mercedes with the Samoan Drop! The crowd comes alive for the crazy display of power as Ms. Jon goes for a pin on Seleana.
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana BARELY kicks out! The count was so close to three that Ms. Jon gets in Drew's face but he's adamant that his pin was fair, but this gives Mercedes enough time to recover as she hits Ms. Jon with a Tornado DDT! Mercedes goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And despite how long the match has gone on for, Ms. Jon still manages to power out sending Mercedes flying! Seleana sees this and seeing that Ms. Jon is still feeling the effects of the Tornado DDT pounces on Ms. Jon for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes breaks it up! Ms. Jon rolls out of the way as Mercedes picks up Seleana and hits her with a Discuss Clothesline before going for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out! Mercedes sits up with her hands on her hips clearly wondering what to do next, but then sees Ms. Jon getting back up to her feet! Thinking quickly Mercedes proposes a new alliance with the much larger Bombshell.
Simone: Does Mercedes not remember what happened the last time she formed an alliance with Ms. Jon against Seleana?!
Adams: I don't know, it seems like Ms. Jon's more open to the idea this time!
Ms. Jon nods before she picks up Seleana but Seleana surprises her with a small package!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes breaks it up! Ms. Jon nods with approval at this before both Bombshells get back to their feet but Ms. Jon pounces first locking in a bearhug on Seleana! Mercedes steps back and lets Ms. Jon ragdoll the Swedish Bombshell until it looks like Seleana's about to pass out and award Ms. Jon the match! Thinking quickly Mercedes hits Ms. Jon with a running dropkick stunning M. Jon and forcing her to let go of Seleana......and earns the wrath of Ms. Jon as she glares right at Mercedes, a situation that is made even worse when Mercedes slaps the taste out of Ms. Jon's mouth!
Simone: I think that miscommunication just ended the latest Mercedes/Ms. Jon alliance against Seleana! And that slap may have sealed Mercedes's fate!
Adams: I think Mercedes is starting to regret over decision she's made in this match! Possibly even her life!
Mercedes tries to plea with Ms. Jon but she's through listening as Ms. Jon practically drives Mercedes through the matt with Powerbomb after Powerbomb finally stopping on the tenth before hoisting her up for........
Simone: GOODNIGHT IRENE! Ms. Jon just manhandled an SCW Hall of Famer like she was a raw rookie!
Adams: Appropriate because Ms. Jon has made a rookie mistake! She forgot about Seleana!
Ms. Jon is too busy admiring her handiwork to notice Seleana rush in and hit the gargantuan Bombshell with the Katoga! Ms. Jon rolls out of the ring before Seleana can go for the pin but seeing Mercedes clearly down and out for the count Seleana seizes the opportunity to hit one of her signature moves on Mercedes!
Simone: CAT'S EYE! Seleana hits it on Mercedes!
Adams: There's no way Mercedes is kicking out after that annihilation by Ms. Jon and Ms. Jon's in no condition to break it up! Stick a fork in Mercedes, she's done!
Seleana goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is the winner of the match, Seleana Zdunich!
Simone: Seleana overcame the power of Ms. Jon and the schemes of Mercedes to come away with the win!
Adams: The preview stated that the winner of this match will have a surprise waiting for them, I wonder what's waiting for Seleana?
Seleana celebrates her win whilst Drew checks on Mercedes and Martin checks on his client.
Backstage, Ms. Jon power walks through the curtains and is joined by her manager Martin Howe III! The two make their way through the hallway...
Pussy Willow: Excuse me...
But any attempt to get a word with this monster heel is deftly ignored as Ms. Jon practically pushes Pussy Willow aside and she continues past with a confident Martin Howe III strutting alongside of her. Suddenly...!
A STEEL CHAIR IS SWUNG RIGHT INTO MS. JON'S WIDE BACK WITH A SICKENING CRACK!!!!
Ms. Jon staggers forward, her face etched with pain and surprise as Martin dives aside to keep from becoming a victim of circumstance! Ms. Jon staggers forward and against a table, allowing Mercedes to swing the chair into her back again! Ms. Jon turns around and Mercedes rears back for an other, but Ms. Jon brings a big boot up into her midsection, kicking her back! Mercedes recovers and attempts to use the chair once again but Ms. Jon PUNCHES the chair, knocking it right back into Mercedes' own head! The chair goes flying and Vargas falls back, but before any further mayhem can be enacted, security and officials swarm the area and separate the two as Ms. Jon attempts to get to her attacker! Martin however manages to talk her down and ushers her away as security keeps Mercedes and Ms. Jon separated!
Climax Control cuts to the hallway area where Myra Rivers is walking through. After her passionate speech last week, she's maintaining a high degree of confidence. There doesn't appear to be too much burden as she walks into the catering area. Myra pauses to get a glass of water to drink, but when she turns around, she runs into an awkward situation. Max Burke nearly collides with her, but he's able to stop himself. Still, in spite of that, considering recent events, Myra still feels a bit awkward.
Myra: Hey...
Max: Oh hey. How are you?
He forces a bit of a smile. Max has been meaning to have this conversation for awhile, but well didn't.
Myra: I'm good... great... as great as I can be considering the circumstances and all. I wish I could get a match on this tour more than anything so I can start building from those. But, that's enough about me. You? You're holding up okay? I know three weeks ago was hard on both of us.
Max: That's excellent. Yeah, I was surprised you haven't been booked yet. I'm doing really good too considering things. Came out of it healthy, and confident. You can't deny what we were able to accomplish. We both opened a lot of eyes.
Myra: Yeah, we did. We did quiet a fair bit of people along the way. I don't think that the end result changes that and I definitely don't think that the end result proves any detractors right at all. The person I was last year was wishing that last year's finals would've been different for months on end, but who I've become? There's no wishing. Wishing won't change anything. It's what you do afterward that matters the most. I'm feeling pretty confident myself and just seeing what happens next. I am sorry about the fact that the end result wasn't what either of us wanted though...
Max: Hey! Do not apologize. You got caught with a very slick sneak attack in the end that caught us both off guard, and Mac blindsided me too, or I would have been in there for the save. They got us this time. It's all good. Like you said, it's what we do next. I have to admit the break was nice. I've been itching to get back in there. Austin is definitely going to be a challenge, but I'm feeling good.
Myra: As you should, especially coming off of a run like what we had. I think he's underestimating you, personally...
Myra has a bit of a pause for a bit, even expressing some slight amusement with what she just said.
Myra: But hey, what else is new with that, right? It's not something that you're unfamiliar with!
Max: Exactly. Neither one of us are. The more they underestimate us the better. I'm using it. Honestly, I've never felt better. I can't wait to see who's next for you. Show 'em you're still right there at the top of the division.
Myra waits for a bit to respond, smiling with confidence for a split second.
Myra: It's like I've been saying: I'm a completely different person now than I was a year ago, for the better. The criticism and the doubting from others is always going to be there. That's just the nature of the beast. But, I'm just going to keep pushing. It's pretty straightforward, I know. But this company hasn't seen the best of me yet and I'm going to keep believing that in my heart of hearts. I'm glad that things are great between us and it's like I've said before, I feel like I came out of that tournament with a friend for life and that's one hell of a victory in my book.
Max: You definitely do. I've got your back anytime you need it. Just say the word. It's been great working with, and getting to know you. This business is all about pushing through. The finals proved to me we are in the conversation without a doubt. It's only a matter of time before we get another opportunity.
Myra: Exactly! We'll see what happens with me. But as for you? Hey, I'm confident that you've got this tonight!
Myra gives a quick reassuring smile. Max expresses confidence as well as he makes his exit from the scene. Myra thinks some things through for her own accord and takes a deep breath, staying as focused as she can be.
Myra: Like I said last week, the fight has only just begun...
Myra maintains the determined expression in her eyes as the scene cuts out.
Justin: Our next match is a one fall match with the winner determined by pinfall, submission, or disqualification. First to make his way to the ring, from East Rutherford, New Jersey, standing in at at six feet five inches and two hundred fifty-five pounds, please give a nice welcome to JC also known as The Bogeyman!
The crowd starts up a murmur as the lights dim, and in the darkness, Ghost's "Hunter's Moon" begins to play with its haunting melody. The music builds and lights flash, leading up to the chorus, signaling an arrival. 'The Bogeyman' JC steps out onto the stage, staring out at the audience and wearing a Michael Myers mask over his head, having embraced his new ghoulish persona. He watches the crowd react in various ways to him and then he begins walking steadily to the ring. He enters the ring and climbs up to the middle rope, before ripping the mask off of his head and staring out at the audience. The crowd continues with a mixed reaction as JC hops off the ropes ready for his match.
Justin: Next to make his way to the ring, from Milan, Italy, standing in at five feet nine inches and two hundred fifteen pounds, please give a nice welcome to AGOSTINO ROMANO!
Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the backstage area and he is wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him. The crowd also gives Agostino a mixed reaction as they did for JC. Agostino does high fives to the crowd before seeing a kid in the front row which he pulls funny faces at along with giving them a hat from his Global Bike Championship days. He then goes inside of the ring and waves at the fans with the crowd cheering for him while James claps from outside of the ring before Agostino waits for his opponent to come out to the ring with James standing at ringside.
Adams: This is going to be an interesting match. Agostino Romano is giving up eight inches of height and forty pounds of weight. However being a multiple Champion in Sin City Wrestling, plus his quickness in the ring, should allow him to overcome those differences.
Simone: Seriously? JC issued a challenge to Fenris which most people are afraid to do. The fact that JC has a major height and weight advantage over Agostino means this will probably be a short match.
Adams: Agostino is very quick in the ring and he has overcome larger wrestlers in the past.
Simone: The past went is not always an indicator how the present will go. When JC grabs onto Agostino I seriously don't see Romano finding an easy way out of the hold.
Referee Jasmine St. John calls both wrestlers to join her in the center of the ring. She goes over the rules of this match, and informs the two that she is very strict in officiating wrestling matches, then she checks both wrestlers to ensure they are clean of foreign objects or questionable substances. Referee St. John then tells both JC and Agostino to return to their corners and come out fighting when the Timekeeper rings the bell. Once the two are in their corners Jasmine St. John motions to the Timekeeper who then rings the bell to officially start this match.
DING DING DING!
The bell has rung and this match is officially underway. Agostino remains close to his corner while JC struts across the ring toward Romano. When JC is a bit over half the way to where Agostino is located he takes off in a run toward Romano. We assume he is about to land a block of some time to inflict early damage on Agostino. With lightning-quick speed we watch as Romano leaps up to the top ropes in the corner. As JC approaches the corner he realizes what Agostino just did and he pulls up which leaves him open as Romano dives off the top rope driving head-first into the chest of JC who drops to the mat. As JC is maneuvering to get to his feet Agostino applies a Cross Face but before he can tightly cinch it up JC manages to roll to his side and dislodge Romano from him. JC gets up on his knees as Agostino gets to his feet and he quickly approaches JC who head butts him in the midsection. The blow appears to have knocked the wind out of Romano. JC rolls Agostino over for the pin and Referee Jasmine St. John gets into position for the pinfall count. JC doesn't hear anything from the Referee so he demands to know why she isn't making the count on the pinfall. Referee St. Join points to the ropes and when JC looks over he sees the leg of Agostino is over the ropes which is a call for a break by the Referee. Although Referee St. John orders JC to release Agostino Romano he refuses to let go of him. Jasmine St. John starts a count for a break since JC is not obeying her order to do so.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
At the three count JC releases his hold on Agostino and he gets off him and stands off to the side while Referee Jasmine St. John stands between the two to give Romano time to remove himself from the ropes.
Adams: From the start of this match Agostino proves he can be innovative and take charge of the match with that dive off the top ropes.
Simone: Really? How long did the so-called advantage for Romano last after he dove off the ropes into JC's chest and then he attempted a Cross Face for the submission? Oh yeah! I remember! About two seconds! Hah!
Agostino is upset at JC bending the rules to try to get away with something illegal. Romano complains to the Referee who informs Agostino that the rules state if something illegal is happening but the person stops before a five count then the match continues. Only if a five count is delivered and the wrestler doesn't break will a Disqualification be issued. Agostino has to accept Referee St. John's comments and he focuses back onto JC.
Simone: Good grief Agostino Romano is a whining twit.
Adams: I agree with him not being allowed a valid reason for complaining since Referee Jasmine St. John made a count on the illegal hold and JC broke before a five count.
JC grabs Agostino by the arm and drags him to the middle of the ring. He then whips Romano into the ropes and catches Agostino with a clothesline on the rebound. JC drags Romano to his feet and again whips him into the ropes. This time as Agostino rebounds off the ropes he runs toward JC and leaps at him, feet first, driving his feet into the knees of JC. This causes JC to drop to the mat from the blow to his knees. Agostino wastes no time in tying JC up in a Figure-Four Leglock and he cinches it up tightly. They are in the middle of the ring so JC cannot reach the ropes for a break. Referee St. John steps up and asks JC if he wants to submit and he yells out HELL NO so the Referee allows the match to continue. Agostino sits up, punches the knees of JC, then he drops back applying more pressure to the legs and knees of JC. Again JC is asked by Referee Jasmine St. John if he wants to submit and he again yells HELL NO so again the Referee allows the match to continue. This time it is JC who maneuvers to a semi-sitting position where he swings and lands several fists into the body and head of Agostino Romano. Referee St. John reprimands JC for the closed fist hits but he continues punching Romano anyway. Referee St. John informs JC she will do another count for a Disqualification unless he stops punching Agostino but he continues punching anyway. With no other choice Referee St. John is about to issue a count on JC but the final punch by JC causes Agostino Romano to release the Figure-Four Leglock so the Referee backs off. Both wrestlers are in pain lying on the mat and Referee St. John remains close as both should be getting up off the mat shortly.
Adams: That last maneuver by Agostino Romano showed his ring presence and the ability to apply a punishing hold on JC.
Simone: There's a huge difference between successfully applying a hold on someone and actually keeping it applied until your opponent submits.
It is easily detected that Agostino Romano is upset over JC stretching the rules but we know Agostino understands stuff like this happens in matches. Both wrestlers get to their feet and face each other and they start jawing at each other. JC waves off the accusations of Agostino and Romano keeps up the verbal attack. This causes JC to charge at Agostino with a clothesline attempt. Romano ducks the clothesline and when JC turns around to face him Agostino lands a drop kick on JC causing JC to take a few steps back. Agostino then leaps into the air and hits a head scissors which has enough momentum to bring JC to the mat. Before Agostino can get up and continue his assault on JC we see JC get up. Romano decides to continue the attack on JC by trading forearm smashes with JC.
Adams: Agostino had a few good moves there but when JC got to his feet things evened out. Not sure how well Romano will fare in this trading of forearm smashes.
Simone: I would say he would fare as well as an anchor would float if tossed into the water.
After trading forearm smashes for a time both JC and Agostino transition into flat out closed fist punches. Referee St. John reprimands both wrestlers and attempts to get them to stop, then she decides that not much is going to get them to stop since they are also using other means of attack on each other.
Adams: That appears to be an odd decision for Referee Jasmine St. John to let them continue trading blows even though some of the blows are closed fists.
Simone: That's the point. Since they are not just trading closed fist punches, they are using many maneuvers and blows, might as well let them go at each other.
We can see the frustration on the face of Agostino Romano as he would prefer just wrestling holds and maneuvers but he doesn't have a choice right now. As the blows continue back and forth the frustration on the part of Agostino seems to be intensifying. We watch Romano stop trading blows and he quickly toward the corner where he makes a leap which catapults him to the ropes in the corner where he then quickly leaps off, high into the air, but on his way down JC catches him on the fly and quickly spins with Agostino in his arms and he drives Romano hard into the mat with himself on top of Agostino. The double impact of landing hard on the mat and with JC's weight on top of him seems to have disabled Agostino. JC reaches and grabs the legs of Romano and he pulls hard in his legs to keep him tied up for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
The match is officially over but we still must wait for the official decision from the Referee. Justin Decent is informed by Referee Jasmine St. John of her decision on the match and Justin put his mic to his mouth for the announcement.
Justin: The official results of this match, as determined by Referee Jasmine St. John, is that the winner of this match, by pinfall, is JC!!!!
Referee St. John raises the hand of JC for the win. After she drops his hand JC slides out of the ring and quickly makes his way into the backstage area. When our attention is returned to the ring Agostino Romano is on his feet and he is informed of the results of the match. He accepts the decision and then he leaves the ring and heads to the backstage area.
The backstage atmosphere of Sin City Wrestling Climax Control here at the Azure Resort and Spa is no different than were it at a major arena several thousand miles away, be it the Tokyo Dome or Madison Square Garden, or even the home turf of SCW; the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Things are hectic as directors hurry about to and fro, carrying the directives from SCW higher ups such as "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward and Christian Underwood, as well as General Manager Brooke Saxon. Wrestlers head for the showers after their matches to freshen up or seek medical attention, while those that have yet to step out into the arena keep a close eye on not just the goings on viewed on the monitors, but also step into the media area for photo shoots or to record interviews to be aired later. Some pass the time by playing SCW 2k22 against one another in a friendly in-game rivalry. Whereas others...
Voice 1: LOOK OUT!
Voice 2: GET OUT OF THE WAY!
The barreling sound of running footsteps are heard off of the backstage hallway walls as bodies of staff and competitor alike dive back against the walls as Bella Madison and Fenris race as fast as their legs can carry them! And all in the name of.... Voice 3: I can't believe this! All over some kind of cake! Say that again? Cake? CAKE!? Indeed it is so as someone let it slip that the catering would have a very special dessert this week for everyone to enjoy, a chocolate biscuit cake. Rumored to be a favorite of the Queen of England herself AND Prince William. Bella Madison was a known chocoholic, and it was slowly coming to a dawning realization that for all of his healthy traits, Fenris was one as well! Many a joking story has been shared and passed along on social media about some of the fits between the two when one or the other took the last piece of - whatever - dessert that pre-show catering offered that the other had wanted for themselves. And now?
Now we are seeing firsthand the "friendly rivalry" between the pair in being the first to get to that dreamy dessert!
A door along the hallway opens up and Ben Jordan steps out into the hall with Max Burke but Ben turns his head and his eyes widen at what he sees coming their way. He quickly grabs Max by the back of his ring jacket and pulls him back against the wall and out of harm's way as Bella and Fenris tear right past them!
Fenris's size gives him an edge in the tight hallway so Bella takes the next step - literally - as she leaps up onto a row of tables against the wall and literally runs across them to gain an edge in this foot race! She goes to jump off the end but Fenris catches her! Fenris spins around and shoves her into the arms of two surprised backstage employees! He takes off and she wrests herself free from their grasp and hightails it right after him! Ever moment she gains and Fenris grabs a table and spins it around, cutting off the hallway but Bella does a perfect handspring over the table and lands on the floor on her feet, surprising even Fenris! They are right near the doors to catering ... they look at each other, then at the doors, then at each other before darting forward! The double doors and almost blasted off of their hinges as the two tear through and they race between tables to the banquet dessert table when Fenris skids to a halt and Bella crashes right into his back! She steps around and her eyes are just as wide as his own as they see.... Fenris: What the hell are YOU doing here!? And the figure turns around and there stands Bobbie Dahl! The crowd watching on the SCW-Tron cheers as Bobbie stands there with a plate filled with that glorious biscuit cake in one hand and a fork in the other - having beaten both Fenris and Bella to the proverbial punch. Bobbie shrugs. Bobbie: What? They said there'd be cake! Fenris and Bella share an incredulous look. Fenris turns back to Bobbie. Fenris: You flew all the way to Greece for CAKE!? Bobbie: I once flew all the way to Spain for a giant burrito! Bella shakes her head and moves away to get herself some of the cake when poor Artie steps forward. Artie: She's not kidding either. We really did fly all the way to Spain -- just for a burrito. Fenris: You're nuts! Bobbie: Asshole! Fenris: Bitch! Bobbie: Sit with us? Fenris: What the hell? Fenris then grabs a plate of the cake and walks off-camera along with Bobbie and Artie, leaving the lovely Bella just shaking her head and rolling her eyes. Cut to backstage, moments before his music is about to hit Pussy Willows catches up with Max Burke. Pussy: SCW, I'm joined right now by Max Burke. Tonight, you're making your return to singles action after a very successful Blast From The Past. First up, former champion Austin James Mercer. How are you feeling?
Max: Ms. Willows, it's always a pleasure. Competition in Sin City Wrestling is incredible here in 2022. Coming off my return at Blast From The Past X, my first match is with the former SCW World and Internet champ Austin James Mercer. You see, there are no easy nights in SCW. The best of the best are in Sin City Wrestling. AJM is definitely one of those elite professional wrestlers here, but I'm ready and excited to step in there to test my skills against another former champion.
Pussy: How do you plan on dealing with the size disadvantage?
Max strokes his beard, pausing for a moment. He carefully chooses his next words.
Max: I know exactly what I'm dealing with when it comes to Mr. Mercer. Power, explosiveness, and can turn your lights out in a flash. I know I have to be intelligent with both my offense and defense. I've got a gameplan, but you know what they say about those. It's scrappin' Sunday, and I'm looking forward to this fight.
Pussy: Good luck Max.
Max: Thank you Ms. Willows. Austin James Mercer, let's show 'em what happens when two veterans of the grind face-off. I look forward to punching you in the kisser. See you out there.
Max cracks his neck to each side, and heads off towards the entrance for final preparations before his match.
Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall!!!
The lights shut off as "A conversation with death" by Khemmis kicks in, as it builds different lights flash around the arena. As the song builds into the refrain and the guitars kick in a spotlight forms on the stage with Austin standing in the middle. He makes his way down to the ring before moving around to the steps, he makes his way up and walks across the apron before stepping between the ropes, he stands in the center of the ring as the music shuts off
Justin: Currently in the ring, standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 265 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Austin James Mercer!!!
Jared James Nichols opening vocals on "Nails In The Coffin" cuts through the silence, as a fog fills the SCW entrance. A light from below reveals Max Burke.
Justin: On his way to the ring, from Dorchester, New Brunswick Canada, standing at 6' and weighing in at 220lb... Max Burke!!!
As the music intensifies, Burke reaches the edge of the squared circle. He turns on his heel, and makes his way to the ring steps. Once on the ringside apron, Burke glides his finger over the top rope as he walks to the center. He turns, his head bowed. Spotlights hit him from all directions as his music reaches a crescendo. Max lifts his head and poses for the fans.
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as Max Burke seizes up his younger and taller opponent up, the losing finalist of the Blast From The Past knows very well that he cannot match strength with Austin as he circles the big man who stands in the middle of the ring. Austin extends his hands in front of him to defend himself from whatever possible attack that the veteran could charge in on him with. But Max prefers to move himself towards the turnbuckles, keeping himself near the ropes as to know where his position is at all times. Austin takes a first step towards Max Burke, who forces Austin to take a step backwards again after a quick kick aimed towards his left shin. Giving Austin a signal that he is prepared for him, this forces Austin to nod his head in understanding as he wipes his hands against his tights. He extends his left hand towards Max, who focuses upon it before Austin suddenly delivers a big boot into the midsection of Burke. This forces Burke to bend forward as Austin blasts several shots of forearms across the back. Forcing Max to drop to a knee as Austin. Austin grabs Max by his arm as he pulls Burke upon his feet before tossing him high in the air as Burke lands on his backside, sitting upwards in agonizing pain before having his face kicked in with a vicious boot. Austin covers Burke as Jacob Summers drops down for the three count
ONE!
TW...
Max manages to get his shoulder off the canvas as Austin wraps his massive arm across the chin of Max Burke and attempts to cut off the oxygen to the brain. Austin leans in all of his weight upon the neck of Max as Jacob investigates whether Max wishes to give into the hold Austin had put him in, but the veteran refuses to give in. Austin yanks his arm tighter and tighter across his head as Max attempts to push some fingers between the massive arm in an attempt to loosen the grip but fails obviously. Max pushes his body from left to right, trying to manage to get a foundation where he could try to get back to his feet. He gets to a knee as Austin lets go and wraps his arms around the arms of Max and locks his hands behind the back of Max as he lifts him up in the air, in an attempt to drop Max face first into the canvas with a modified slam. But Max had prepares himself as he wraps his legs around the waist of Austin before rolling forward when he felt Austin set him up for the slam he had in mind. Using Austin's own momentum against him as he rolled him up in a pinning position as he rolls through and grabs the legs of Austin as he locks them with both arms.
ONE!
TWO!
Austin manages to use his massive leg strength to kick out from the reversal that Max had put him in. Both men get to their feet at the same time, both men stare each other down. A sign of respect comes over Austin, realizing that Max is a more capable wrestler than he already had given him to be. He slaps his hands across his chest on opposite sides as he circles Max Burke before he sets himself up to lock arms with the veteran, easily pushing him into the ropes as he sets him up for an Irish whip. Preparing him for a big time clothesline, but Max has ducked it as he stops behind her. He kicks him in the back of Austin's left knee as that causes him to drop down to one leg. Max sets himself up for a shot block against the back of the same leg as that causes Austin to drop down on his back while grabbing the leg.
Simone: Nice counter from Burke
Adams: It sure is Belinda, plus if you ground a powerhouse he cannot put you down with power moves.
Max grabs the leg, yanks it out of the grip of Austin as he kicks it even further against the thigh before dropping an elbow against the knee as that drops him with all of his weight upon the softened up leg. Wrapping the leg between his own legs as he pulls on the foot as Austin sits up and tries to grab Max by the head to break free by holding on to it. Causing Jacob Summers to break it up as it is not legal to do this. Austin falls on his back as Max puts more pressure on the foot and ankle region of the painful leg, putting his hands against his head before sitting up again as he heard Jacob Summers count to two.
Simone: That was a close call for Austin, if he had stayed with his shoulders on the canvas for one more second he would have lost.
Austin grips his fingers across the face of Max, digging his fingers into the eyes as well as the nose of Max Burke and yanks his head down onto the canvas before blasting him across the face with the back of his boot several times.
Adams: That is one way to break that hold!!
Austin slowly gets up to his feet, limping around as he tries to get some feeling back into his leg as he feels the blood flow through it once again. He hobbles over towards Max as he grabs him by the head, lifting him up to his feet and blasts him across the chest with a back knife edge chop. He follows it up with several move before locking his arms around the waist and executes a Belly to Belly Suplex, the turning caused him to grimace as he turns around causes his knee and leg to hurt him as he grabs it for a moment as he rubs it with his hand. He slowly covers Max for the count of three.
ONE!
TWO!
THR...
But Max manages to get his shoulder off the canvas at the final moment. Austin sits up and shakes his head before slowly getting back to his feet. He grabs the arm of Max as he lifts him up to his feet and sets Max up for a Body Slam, but Max manages to slide out of his grip and kicks Austin in the back of the left leg again. Austin drops to the knee as Max immediately wraps his arm around the head before dropping Austin's neck across the knee in a modified neck breaker. Max covers Austin
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...
But Austin somehow manages to get his shoulder off the canvas, immediately grabbing the neck in agony as Max charges the ropes and runs towards Austin with a running knee into the face of Austin before going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...
Austin gets his shoulder off the canvas at the final moment, the fans had jumped up in excitement as they had believed that Max would beat Austin. Austin rolls over to his side, making sure that Max wouldn't be able to go for another cover right away. Max gets up and moves towards the corner, measuring Austin for a super kick as he stands in the corner. Watching Austin drag himself towards the corner opposite side, staring as Austin slowly pulls himself up to his feet before turning around. Max charges in on him for an offensive attack, but Austin managed to come out of the corner and hits Max with a massive clothesline. He quickly grabs Max by the head and sets him up for his finisher as he whips Max into the ropes
Simone: Legacy Bomb!!!
Austin hits his pop up Powerbomb and drops Max, covering Max as he holds onto the painful leg as Jacob goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match by pinfall!! Austin James Mercer
Austin's music hits as Jacob lifts his arm in the air to signal that he has won before checking in on Max. Austin slowly rolls out of the ring and hobbles to the back
After a pause for effect "Wasted" by Panic Era begins and current SCW Internet champion Jack Washington makes a rare appearance in a non-wrestling capacity. He marches down to the ring, Internet championship neatly folded and strapped under his arm. He enters the ring and places the championship on the corner turnbuckle as he snatches the microphone like a jerk from Justin Decent and signals for his music to be cut. There are cheers and boos as Jack goes to talk.
Jack: Alright, knock it off.
Louder boos, and louder cheers really.
Jack: I usually don't feel the need to do this, but as the face of this franchise, I need to be the leader. So let me just get what I need to get, off my chest.
Jack pauses and then continues
Jack: Everybody wants to come out here and have a celebration when they win a championship. Everybody wants to come out here and run their mouths about how great they are, all because they need to convince themselves. You know what I did? I went and got drunk and celebrated on my own. I didn't need any in-ring nonsense. You all already know how great I am.
Some boos.
Jack: Now, I hear Matt Knox running his mouth about how he let me win. Normally, I would be annoyed at this, but really, what that is, is a coping mechanism. Matt Knox knew he has no business in the match at Blaze Of Glory, and so, he did the smart thing and stayed out of my way.
More boos.
Jack: My guy, you are now getting ready to get a world title shot, if anything, you should be thanking ME! Because of ME, you are where you are. If I hadn't smacked bum-ass Ken Davison around, I'd of smacked you around and then Ken may have gotten a title match. So, you're welcome.
Some boos, some cheers.
Jack: Now, Goth. You earned your way to a beating at Into the Void, and quite frankly, nobody cares why you joined the pile of garbage that is the Saviors, least of all, me. All you need to know, is that come Into the Void, I will show you, why I am the face of this franchise. I will make you relevant for a few weeks, and then you too, will become just like Greece. Forgotten, and sad.
More boos as Jack tosses the microphone back to Justin, his music hits and the boos reign down as he collects his championship and departs.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control 327 where we see Krystal Wolfe wating the action on a monitor, the South Australian Bombshell has her arms crossed and an unreadable expression on her face.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Waiting for Keira vs. Diamond 2?
Krystal looks up and sees Ms. Rocky Mountains approaching her before she nods.
Krystal: That obvious huh? You want to know what the bosses told me when I showed up for tonight's show?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Go ahead.
Krystal: That if I showed up during the aftermath of this match like I did at Blaze of Glory X I'll be forfeiting any future shot at the Bombshell Roulette Title as long as either Keira or Diamond is the champion.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Why do you think they said that?
Krystal: Because they didn't want me to take away from their moment! Because clearly, the only Bombshell on the roster who's allowed to do that is Diamond!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I take it you're referring to your last match as Bombshell Roulette Champion?
Krystal: Off course, what else could I possibly be referring too? I don't know when my next match will be but there is one thing for sure and that's that I'll be watching Diamond's first defence closely as well as the winner of this match and what they go on to do next!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: This is probably an obvious question but who do you want to win?
Krystal: Keira because Diamond's antics ruined the finale of my record setting reign! But in the end it won't matter because I've got my eyes set on whoever comes out the other end with the gold! Now, don't you have a wheel to spin?
Rocky groans.
Krystal: Your arms are still sore after the 12 Labours of Hercules match?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: No but I've been dreading spinning that wheel again since the rematch between Keira and Diamond was announced last week!
Krystal: I guess that's understandable, but you still have a job to do.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Don't I know it!
Rocky sighs before she walks off and the scene fades.
Justin: The following match is a mixed tag team match!
The houselights cut out, a single Raven cries out soon joined by another, then another until the cries of an entire unkindness fill the house sound system, soon broken by "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits cutting through, the house lights coming up to a dull blue as a single white strobe light pulses in time to the song's percussion. Standing in the middle of that pulsing light, back to the ring, stands Matthew Knox adorned in his ring gear and a sleeveless hoodie. Arms outstretched like a bird in flight he pivots on a heel and begins making his way to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and picking a corner to charge and leap upon to scream the audience into a frenzy. He takes a lap around the ring, before kneeling in a corner and patiently waiting for the ring to sound.
Justin: Currently in the ring, standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 244 pounds!! Hailing from Monterrey, California!!! Matthew Knox!!!
Pulsing, red lights rolls over the crowd like a rising tide to the opening echoing thudding stomp and clap of 'Dust And Bone' by Syd Duran, fluctuating in time with the heavy beat as it continues into the opening vocals.
Most cheer in anticipation, but there are few who still jeer due to affiliations or just the fickle nature of a wrestling crowd on any given night. Atop the ramp, the lithe silhouette of the Distorted Angel seems to have materialised, soaking up the crowds reaction and energy. Fans reach out for acknowledgement and wave signs in the same way that others lean out over the rail as much as they dare to yell expletives and empty threats- some get a perceptive nod, a sly wink or perhaps even a kiss blown in sarcasm towards the most derisive.
Fluidly, Amber circles the ring- beelining for a camera person before trying to mess with them or talking some shit down into the camera lens.
Slipping under the rope, Amber doesn't call for fanfare nor adulation, just making her way to the closest turnbuckle so that she might leisurely perch herself on the top with hands clasped and elbows resting on her knees in rather non-plussed outside of the trademark sly smirk seemingly ever-present on her features.
Justin: And his tag team partner!! Standing in at 5'8 and weighing in at 132 pounds!! Hailing from Atlantic City, New Jersey!! Amber Ryan!!!
The lights go down as the angelic sound of a choir begins singing. As the choir sing, a spotlight slowly comes on, revealing the silhouette of a man with his arms held out, forming a cross. The back outline of angel wings flanks him on both sides. The choir goes quiet as the lead vocals come in.
The house lights come up and the man known throughout the wrestling world as "Godly" Ken Davison stands center stage, taking in the reaction of the crowd. As the main verse kicks in, Davison methodically walks down to the ring, ignoring everything else going on around him.
Davison gets to the ring side area and jumps onto the ring apron. He wipes his feet and enters the ring between the top and middle ropes as the chorus kicks in. The song continues and Davison removes his vestments, handing them to the ring attendant as the song continues. Davison circles the ring and as the chorus kicks in again, and Davison stands in the middle of the ring, once again posing with his arms out. As he stands still a red laser circles the arena. The red dot of the laser finally settles on the center of Davison's forehead and the sound of a gunshot echoes throughout the arena as the lights once again go dark. When the lights come back up, Davison is on his knees with his arms still extended.
Justin: Currently in the ring, one half of their opponents!! Standing in at 5'10 and weighing in at 219 pounds!! Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland!! Ken Davison!!!!
"Release me"
The two words from the Public Address system in the arena cause the fans in attendance, already on their feet, to react with disdain and unappreciative shouts. Kat Jones,, badass Cincinnati native of ill repute methodically makes her way to the top of the ramp from the gorilla position. Her black shorts and knee high boots are more characterizing of her facial expression and attitude toward the scathing crowd, than her highly decorative top full of self expression.
Kat walks toward the ring, methodically and without much concern at all, regarding the insults and jeers thrown in her direction.
Justin: "Making her way to the ring, hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, standing five feet, eight inches tall and weighing in at one hundred twenty eight pounds, she is the "WildKat"... KAT JJOONNEESS!!!"
Standing before the ring apron, Kat removes her black leather jacket, whips it behind her, releasing it and allowing it to sail toward the ramp, ultimately letting out a bloodcurdling scream, before she enters the ring and stares down her opponents.
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as Kat and Amber are starting off the match, the two women that consider each other sisters are locking eyes. The intensity can be felt, the feeling of each other's wellbeing is imprinted upon the women's faces. Yet both are also competitors and wouldn't love more than to prove to the other who the better Bombshell really is. Amber nods her head towards Kat as she does the same towards the former Bombshell champion. The two circle each other, slowly nearing each other's presence but remain outside the reach of the other. Kat wipes her hands against her in ring gear, extending them in anticipation of what Amber would be doing next. Amber suddenly executes a spinning kick towards Kat, who manages to block it and executes a kick against the back of Amber's knee as that causes the former Bombshell to fall on her back. Amber quickly gets to her feet and stares down at Kat, who nods her head and smirks.
Simone: These two women know each other so very well, it must be weird to be opposite of each other.
Adams: Perhaps, but I have a feeling that both of them will not let their feelings for each other linger on too much during this match.
Amber nods her head before turning her attention towards Ken Davison, who is trying to distract her with constant yelling towards her. Amber shows him the middle finger before sidestepping a charging Kat who tried to take advantage on the given distraction from her tag team partner. Amber grabs Kat by the hair and yanks her down to the canvas hard before dropping down on top of Kat with her legs blocking Kat's arms while setting her up for some heavy blows to the face.
Adams: Good grief!! If these two consider each other sisters? Then I will cancel my request to be their brother!!!
Kat is trying to free her arms underneath Amber, who continues to blast away with closed fists upon her "sister". But Kat manages to free herself from the predicament by wrapping her legs underneath the arms of Amber and reverses the situation into a pinning position as Amber's shoulders are placed upon the canvas by Kat's reversal. But amber rolls through as Dawn didn't even got the opportunity to count to one. Quickly getting to her feet and kicks Kat straight in the face before going for the cover.
ONE!
Kat kicks out as she puts her hand to her face to check if she isn't bleeding.
Simone: Good God!! I have not seen Amber strike this hard for a long time!!!
Amber wraps her arm across the chin of Kat, staring at Kat's tag team partner who is taunting her still as she tells him to shut up and pay attention to what she is doing to Kat. This causes him to stop for a moment, extending his arm in the hope of somehow managing to get a tag in. Kat feels Amber putting all of her weight on her neck, trying to pry some fingers underneath the arm to make breathing a little bit easier. But Amber suddenly releases the grip and drives knees into the spine of Kat before running the ropes and drops Kat with a running knee to the face and goes for another cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Kat gets her shoulder off the canvas at the count of two, once again feeling her face as she is checking for blood or a lost tooth.
Amber grabs her by the arm and pulls her up to her feet, setting Kat up for a scoop slam. But Kat manages to free her from the grip of Amber and executes a neck breaker on Amber that drops the former champion hard on the canvas as Kat slowly sits up and touches her face again. She stares around the six sided ring, ignoring dawn's question on whether she is alright or not as she turns towards Amber who is slowly trying to turn herself over to her side. Giving Kat a perfect spot to kick Amber between the shoulder blades as that forces Amber to roll on the canvas with her back once more as Kat executes a knee drop across the face of Amber and then sets her up for a Texas Cloverleaf. Hooking the legs before locking one behind the other and setting Amber up to turn around on her stomach as Amber tries to block it by putting her hands against the legs of Kat.
Simone: Can Kat get Amber over for the Cloverleaf??
Kat tries to kick away the groping hands, but every time that she does it is Amber that manages to get them back in time. But finally Kat manages to kick away the blocking hands and push Amber to her stomach before sitting down with a Texas Cloverleaf. She sits down deep on the lower back of Amber, who desperately tries to reach out for the ropes to break the hold.
Adams: This may end very quickly!!
Simone: We both know that Amber can withstand a lot of pain for a long period of time Jason.
Amber shakes her head from left to right in response to Dawn's question if she wants to give in to the submission hold. Her left arm is inches away from reaching the bottom rope, but before her finger nails can touch it she gets pulled towards the middle of the ring by Kat who let go who kept hold of Amber's legs. There in the middle of the ring she prepares herself to lock Amber into the figure four, but just when she turns around she gets booted in the back by Amber. This causes Kat to be pushed towards the corner turnbuckles that she was facing Kat hits her shoulder against the steel ring post as she manages not to come in contact with the turnbuckles. The impact of the blow causes her to hang across the ring post as Amber slowly rolls out of the ring and there she pulls on the arm that is connected to the shoulder that hit the turnbuckles and pulls hard on it while putting her foot against the ring post for extra leverage.
Simone: That may just be the end of Kat!!!
Adams: Both women lay in the heavy artillery on each other!!!
Kat is screaming in agonizing pain as Dawn starts to use the five count on Amber as to fore hr to break the hold
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Amber lets go in time before rolling in of the ring, she stares at Kat who has rolled around as the back of her head is resting against the turnbuckles while holding on to the injured shoulder. Amber quickly runs to the opposite side of the ring and charges from the opposite corner towards Kat for a running knee to the face, but Kat manages to move out of the way as Amber stops her attempt at the last moment as Kat has rolled out of the ring and leans against the ring apron to catch her breath. Amber doesn't give her the time to recover and leans between he top and middle rope and grabs Kat by the hair to pull her up the ring apron. She pulls Kat up to a seated position on the ring apron, dragging her through the ropes back into the ring before setting her up for an elbow drop across the throat of Kat and then covers her for the count of three
ONE!
TWO!
THR
Kat kicks out of the pin attempt as Amber sits upwards, staring at Ken Davison as he tried to interfere but decides not to at the final moment.
Amber turns her attention back to Kat as Kat grabs her by the head and drives a knee into the face of Amber behind the back of Dawn as she was distracted by Ken Davison's attempt to get in the ring. Kat grabs both legs from Amber and executes a Catapult to the corner of the ring as Amber hits the turnbuckles, just happens to be near her tag team partner that tags himself in as that forces Kat to get out of the ring as well as Ken comes in.
Simone: Now it is time for the men to get it on.
Knox and Davison circle each other, but just when Ken is close to the corner of Knox and Amber he turns around and smirks towards Amber. Talking trash to her as the former Bombshell world champion scowls at him before Ken gets grabbed by the arm and spun around. Knox whips Ken into the ropes before knocking Ken down with a stiff clothesline. There he follows it up with an elbow drop, but Ken moves out of the way. There he grabs the elbow that Knox used earlier and start to blast the upper arm just above the elbow before locking Knox in a standing wristlock. Knox uses his power to push Ken into the ropes before whipping him to the other side of the ring, causing Ken to hit chest first into the turnbuckles as Knox walks over and locks him to a Back to Back overhead suplex into the middle of the ring. Knox rolls through using his own momentum to roll on top of Ken and hooks both legs for the three count.
ONE!
TWO!
Ken manages to get a shoulder off the canvas in time, causing the match to continue.
Knox knees Ken in the back before running the ropes and executes a running knee in the face of the member of the Saviors. Knox pulls him up to a sitting position once more as he drives another kick in the spine before running the ropes for another running knee. Only this time Ken had it scouted, somehow managing to get upwards at the same time that Knox had run to the ropes and followed him up in the ropes where he stops Knox with a running knee in the midsection. There he follows it up with stiff kicks to the back of Knox his legs as that causes him to stagger a little bit. Ken hits a spinning kick to the face of Knox that drops him down to the canvas as Ken goes for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
Knox kicks out, Ken stares at Amber while smiling as he tells her that he has got her tag team partner under control.
Suddenly the camera's turn to the entrance way as we see Mac Bane and Goth walk to the ringside area.
Simone: Uh oh.., more Saviors!!
Adams: Yeah, but I think Bane is here to make sure that things don't get out of hand between his wife and his sister and stable mate who are on opposite sides!!
Simone: And Goth is probably here because Bane has a match against Supreme Machine later on.
Goth stares at the entrance way as Bane converses with Kat before staring at Ken Davison who nods his head and starts to kick the midsection of Knox before setting him up for stiff closed fists to the head. This causes Knox to stagger back to the corner, where Ken is driving knees into the midsection before locking Knox into a Snap Suplex position. Ken attempts to execute the move, but Knox blocks it by wrapping a leg around that of Ken Davison. Ken lets go off the hold, blasting a few times across the back of Knox and once again setting him up for the Snap Suplex
Simone: And Knox once again blocks it
Knox once again wraps a leg around that of Ken, making it impossible for the member of the Saviors to execute a big time Snap Suplex. Ken once again lets go, attempting to blast the back of Knox once more with some heavy forearms. But Knox has beaten him to the punch, wrapping his arms around the waist of Ken Davison and pushes him all the way across the ring into the turnbuckles where Knox drives series of shoulder tackles into the midsection that would drive the oxygen out of Ken's body. Knox gets up, blasts Ken across the face with some stiff closed fists as Dawn starts to use the five count
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
But Knox had was counting along as he wraps his arms around the midsection of Ken Davison and executes a Belly to Belly suplex to the middle of the ring. Knox gets to his feet and grabs the left ankle of Ken and locks him in a standing Ankle Lock while screaming to Ken to submit to the hold.
Adams: Knox had that well planned, driving the oxygen out of the body before going for a weak body part.
Ken shakes his head no to answer Dawn's question whether he wishes to give in to the submission hold. He tries to crawl over towards his corner where Kat is extending her arm to tag herself back in. But Knox wisely drags Ken further away from Kat. Ken is screaming out in pain as Knox tightens the grip that he has on him before Ken uses his free leg to try and kick Knox across the head, hoping to somehow break free from the grip that Knox has on him. After a few failed attempts Knox grabs the other leg as well. Knox turns Ken over on his back and sets him up for a Catapult towards the turnbuckles in the hope of either hitting face first into the turnbuckles or the steel ring post. He falls backwards as Ken flies over towards the turnbuckles. Quickly he manages to land on the turnbuckles before turning his head backwards as he sees Knox get to his feet. Ken jumps off and hits Knox with a flying forearm off the turnbuckles, catching the man off guard.
Adams: That was one impressive counter.
Ken drags himself over towards Knox as his ankle is clearly bothering him, hooking one leg as Dawn goes for the three count
ONE!
TWO!
THR...
Knox manages to get a shoulder off the canvas in time, causing Ken to stare at Dawn asking her if it wasn't a three count.
Simone: Tough Luck for Ken Davison!
Ken pulls himself up to his feet, grabbing the head of Knox and pulls him to his feet also. Setting him up for a Suplex, but Knox pushes him into the turnbuckles near to them. Grabbing Ken by the waist and executes a massive German Overhead Suplex out of the corner Ken lands awkwardly on his neck as Knox quickly gets up to his feet and hoists him over his shoulders.
Simone: Into The Void!!!
Knox hits his Go To Sleep on Ken before hooking both of Ken's legs!
ONE!
TWO!
Kat jumps into the ring to distract the official, stopping the count! This brings Amber into the ring and now Dawn has to contend with the former champion! Dawn tries to usher her out and force her back to her corner but Amber is struggling! Amber gets away from Dawn and goes right after Kat when "Godly" Ken suddenly grabs the approaching Amber up around the legs -- AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTER!!!
Dawn jumps to her feet and immediately calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Simone: I-I don't believe what I just saw! "Godly" Ken Davison just attacked Amber Ryan!
Adams: And got his team disqualified as a result due to SCW's intergender policies!
Simone: That. Sick. BASTARD!
Justin: The winners as a result of a disqualification!!! The team of Matthew Knox and Amber Ryan!!!!
Mac quickly is in the ring and at his wife's side as Gidly Ken exits the ring and stands at ringside before slowly backing up the aisle. Matthew Knox just shakes his head and quietly takes his leave while Kat stares in shock at what just transpired!
Simone: I think we are going to need some help out here for Amber Ryan!
Adams: And I think Mac is going to want an expanation from Godly Ken for what he just did to his wife!!
We cut to the backstage area where we see SCW's newest signee and Go Gym Graduate Ariana Angelos walking down the hallway, whilst SCW is no longer in her family's homeland of Corfu the Zante crowd still gives the young Greek-American Bombshell a respectable pop.
Krystal: So, it's finally happened, you've moved up to SCW.
Ari looks up and sees fellow Go Gym Graduate Krystal Wolfe waiting for her and greets her friend with a grin and a fist bump.
Ariana: I wasn't sure what I was going to do when SCU announced its closure but when I got that contract offer after my match against Kaiju Rainbow last week I couldn't say no!
Krystal: I don't blame you, it seemed like you were going nowhere fast in SCU! Question is, when will Carter be joining us?
Ariana: Not for a while, I think his plan is to stay in SCU until he loses the Underground Championship or it closes, whichever comes first really!
Krystal: Let's hope for the latter! After everything he's done to get that title, he deserves to be the last ever Underground Champion!
Ariana: Definitely agreed there! Speaking of titles, what are your plans for tonight?
Krystal: And by tonight you mean the Bombshell Roulette Title Match?
Ariana: Off course!
Krystal lets out an annoyed sigh.
Krystal: My hands are tied as far as getting involved directly is concerned but I want Keira to win, I don't think I need to explain why!
Ariana: Can't argue with you there! And hopefully you'll get your first match of the cycle next week!
Krystal: Hopefully! Or maybe you'll get your first match as an official roster member!
Ariana: Man, I can't decide which idea I like more!
Krystal: Guess we'll have to wait and see right?
Ariana: Right!
Ari and Krystal walk off as the scene fades.
The camera cuts backstage to Ms. Rocky Mountains, looking with a slight look of fear at the Roulette wheel.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: After last week, I am really starting to hate you.
Rocky sighs.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, we have the rematch for the Bombshell Roulette championship. It's time to find out what match it will be.
Rocky reaches over to the wheel, spinning it. Her eyes widen as she looks at it.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight's match will be a flaming tables match! Good God! Back to you guys.
Justin: The following contest is a FLAMING TABLES match and it is for the SCW Bombshells Roulette Championship
"Like a Phoenix" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage is seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the ring. She slaps a few fans hands as she slides in. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she waits for her opponent
Justin: Introducing first, the challenger, from Miami, Florida... KEIRA FISHER!
Adams: These two went through one hell of a ladder match at Blaze of Glory, but you can argue that this type of match would've been more fitting for that event when you consider the name of that show. Keira is looking to regain the title that she just lost.
Simone: I know that Keira wanted to reign as champion longer. I know that she would've wanted to do more with the title considering the long reign of Krystal Wolfe that she had just ended. But, in order to get the title back, she's really going to have to be on top of her game...
Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.
Justin: And her opponent, from London, England... she is the SCW Bombshells Roulette Champion... DIAMOND STEELE!
Adams: I don't think that when she won the title, Diamond would imagine that she would be defending so soon, especially in a match like this. You wonder if she's going to be worried about her image if she isn't already.
Simone: Diamond is a veteran! She should know that this business isn't about looking pretty. That being said, this has certainly turned into a blood feud and I wouldn't be surprised if this were to occur in the literal sense tonight...
DING DING DING!
Keira and Diamond waste no time exchanging punches for a while. Diamond tries to come at Keira with a clothesline, but Keira ducks it. Diamond turns around right into a kick to the gut from Keira. Keira then grabs Diamond around the head and takes her down with a bulldog. Keira turns Diamond around and pounces on her, firing some punches at her face until Diamond is able to throw Keira off of her. Keira stands up. Diamond does the same, but Keira is quick to nail her with a spear. Keira starts to get a bit angry as she goes to the top rope. Diamond is able to get up, but Keira dives off the top rope and she nails Diamond with a senton that plows her back into the mat. Keira stands up feeling quite confident in herself as she exits the ring.
Keira grabs a chair from underneath the ring. However, before she can get back in, Diamond runs up to her and gives her a baseball slide, sending the chair right into her face. Keira goes down on the floor. Diamond stays out as she grabs Keira and whips her face first into the ringpost. Diamond grabs a trash can from outside the ring and slides it in. She does the same with a table as well as a gas can. Keira gets to her knees, but Diamond picks her up and gives her a back body drop on the floor. Keira winces in pain as she gets back up, but as she does so, Diamond gives her a spear of her own, sending her spine first into the steel steps. Diamond grabs her and whips her back in the ring. She rolls back in the ring herself.
Adams: This match just got started and it's already beginning to get violent. These ladies didn't want long to get weapons involved.
Simone: That's just about what to expect when you need to put someone through a flaming table to become the Roulette Champion...
Diamond drags Keira back up to her feet and drags her to the chair. She gives her a knee to the gut and then gives her a DDT into the chair. Diamond lays Keira on the chair before she leaves the ring, coming back with a second chair. Diamond lifts up the second chair and smacks Keira in the back with it a few times. She puts down the chair, picks up a table and lays it in the corner. Diamond grabs Keira by the legs and then flips her into the table without breaking it. Keira stumbles back toward Diamond who picks her up and gives her a spinebuster into one of the chairs. Keira is wincing in some pain, but Diamond drags her back up to her feet and then gives her a backbreaker for good measure. From there, Diamond picks up the table and sets it up in the middle of the ring.
Diamond leaves the ring to grab a weapon. She comes back in with a lead pipe before Keira recovers. She swings at Keira's head, but Keira ducks it and counters with a German suplex. Diamond hits the mat hard and when she gets to her knees, Keira is right there to give her a running knee to the face. She gets pissed off and drags Diamond to the garbage can. She gives her a sitout facebuster into the garbage can. Keira drags Diamond to the lead pipe. She picks it up and begins to smash Diamond's knee with it. Keira does this a few more times until the lead pipe literally bends. Keira then makes things worse for Diamond by following up with a standing body splash!
Adams: Keira is really showing a savage side of her there with her completely wrecking Diamond's knee.
Simone: This is exactly what she needs to do to regain the title. She can't be soft right now, we know that for a fact.
Keira rolls away holding her ribs in pain, but Diamond is worse for wear. Keira drags Diamond out of the debris and then whips her hard into the corner. Keira leaves the ring to retrieve a ring bell and another table. She sets up the table as Diamond gingerly gets back up. Keira grabs Diamond and then nails her with a running snapmare into the ring bell she just put in the ring. She then drags her back up and hoists her on her shoulders. After giving her a running spinebuster into the corner, Keira places Diamond on the top rope. She gets to the second rope and then grabs Diamond from around the head. She leaps off the second rope and then gives Diamond a vertical suplex right into the ringbell. The fans cheer for this as Keira grabs the table and sets it up in the middle of the ring.
Keira rolls out of the ring and grabs a gas can and matches and rolls back in before Diamond, on one leg mostly, comes back with a chair and smacks Keira in the spine a few times. She is able to slow her down before she grabs her, gets her up and gives her a running powerbomb into the ringbell. Keira winces in some pain as Diamond stumbles to a knee. She favors it as she gets back up. She drags Keira back up to her feet, then hoists her on her shoulders and gives her a Samoan drop. Diamond then grabs the chair and stabs Keira in the gut with the chair a few times before she throws it down on her face. Diamond then climbs to the top rope. She waits for Keira to do the same, but when Keira does so, she does it with one of the steel chairs. Diamond leaps off the top rope and nails a missile dropkick, sending the chair right into Keira's face and causing a bleeding cut on her forehead.
Adams: Well, it's just like you had alluded to earlier. This is officially a blood feud in the literal sense. Keira has been busted open and you can bet that this is not going to sit well with her.
Simone: Diamond may have committed a fatal sin that could be her undoing in the end if Keira gets into the right kind of mindset after this.
Diamond pounces on Keira and punches her in her cut to make it bleed a bit more. She leaves the ring and sets up another table. She grabs the corner table and sets it up next to that table. Keira stands up, but Diamond whips her face first off one of the tables. Keira bleeds a bit more as Diamond drags her back up to her feet. She hoists her on her shoulders again. This time, she carries her over to one of the chairs and she is able to plant her into the chair with a Death Valley Driver. Keira looks like she is completely worse for wear, but Diamond follows up with a legdrop with a chair, dropping that chair right into her face. Diamond looks back at Keira and then she steadies the ladder. The Roulette Champion then decides to set up a table by pouring lighter fluid on it. She grabs the matches.
Diamond struggles to get the matches lit up and while she struggles, Keira recovers. She gives Diamond a hard shove sending Diamond crash landing off of the ropes and straight to the floor. Keira takes a moment to gather herself as Diamond begins to get up. Keira kicks a chair in Diamond's direction and then she knees her in the gut, springboards off the ropes and then nails Diamond with a springboard tornado DDT driving her face first into the chair and causing her to bleed as well. Keira smirks at the side of Diamond bleeding. She heads back to the top rope. This time, Diamond doesn't move. Keira then dives off of the top rope and nails Diamond with a big frog splash to keep her on the mat. Diamond rolls away, clutching her ribs and getting herself out of the ring, causing Keira to get angry.
Adams: That was a smart move by the champion to get the hell out of dodge. Still, Keira is one of the last people that you want to piss off.
Simone: The fact that she busted Diamond open in kind almost certainly proves that for a fact. Keira's in control now and that anger in her is growing.
Keira rolls out of the ring herself to get the champion back in the ring. She grabs a set of steel steps and when Diamond gets up, Keira knocks her down with the steps across the chest. Diamond ends up going down and Keira puts down the steps. She sees Diamond getting up again and at this point, Keira clocks her in the head with the Seven Sins! The fans cheer as Diamond goes down and seems to be out of it. Keira then stumbles toward the matches and she is able to pick them up. She fidgets with the matches before she is able to light them and drop them on the table with lighter fluid on it, setting it on fire. She then slowly begins to climb to the top rope but she gets halfway up before Diamond starts to stir. Diamond is on her knees when she sees Keira. She stands up and groggily gets to her, delivering a blow to the back to stall her for a few more seconds.
Diamond then goes to the opposite side of the corner that is facing the flaming table. Both Bombshells climb to the very top of the turnbuckle. They are both teetering knowing that at least one of them is going to fall right through the flaming table below, but the situation forces both of them to get in a slugfest with each other. It's an evenly matched fistfight at the top rope Keira grabs Diamond by the hair and gives her a headbutt. Diamond is able to stay sturdy as she fires back with a punch. Keira headbutts her again and she grabs Diamond around the head. She is setting up for some type of huge superplex, but Diamond reaches up and delivers a desperate eye rake. Keira stumbles down a rope. Diamond then claws at the gash she left on Keira's forehead earlier before she grabs her by the head and jams it off of the turnbuckle!
Adams: Both women are in a precarious position. One of them, if not BOTH of them, may be going through that table right now.
Simone: This is nip and tuck all the way. I've got knots in my stomach watching this. The hatred between them has truly kicked up another notch.
Diamond climbs down to the apron and then removes the top turnbuckle padding. She constantly grabs Keira by the back of her head and then jams her face into the exposed steel over and over again to leave her completely dazed and confused. She drags her away and then nails her with a roundhouse kick right to the temple. Keira looks like she is completely out of it and then Diamond picks her up and places her on the top turnbuckle. Diamond grabs her around the head and then she climbs to the second rope, having her in a cutter position. Diamond isn't satisfied with this as she gets to the very top rope. She then LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GIVES KEIRA THE DIAMOND CUTTER RIGHT THROUGH THE FLAMING TABLE!!!!!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of this match and STILL the SCW Bombshells Roulette Champion... DIAMOND STEELE!
Adams: It took EVERYTHING in Diamond's arsenal and THEN some, but the woman who is not necessarily known for hardcore wrestling managed to SURVIVE her first defense.
Simone: Keira gave it one hell of a fight and even with a potential disadvantage, Diamond was able to retain. Still, with how close this match was, Damond better hope the roulette wheel is kinder to her next time...
Diamond drops off the ladder, bloodied face and all. She rolls out of the ring and smirks, relieved that she was able to retain the title.
Backstage, the former Mixed Tag Team Champion Tempest stands in the rec area set up for the wrestlers to relax and regroup before and after the matches. The 6'3" amazon stands at the coffee tab;e set up, dispensing a flow of the heavenly caffeinated drink into a styrofoam cup. She had busied herself the evening, avoiding any awkward encounters between herself and her former tag team partner Austin James Mercer, and now just needed a moment to relax.
She stirs in a small packet of creamer and sugar both and takes a cautious sip from the drink. satisfied, she turns around when ...
Candy: Catch me if you can...!
But she is having too much fun with her husband Marcus chasing her, to be paying too close of attention when she runs right into Tempest, knocking the contents of her cup back and onto Tempest's shirt!
Tempest: OW!!! GOD DAMMIT!!
Candy comes skidding to a halt, as does Marcus - Candy's eyes wide and hands over her mouth!
Candy: Oh no! I am SO sor-erk!
But whatever she is about to say in apologies is choked out of her as Tempest snatches her by the throat! And before Marcus can intervene to save his wife, Tempest heaves candy up and choke slams her THROUGH the coffee table! The wood shatters into splinters and the coffee goes flying everywhere! Tempest turns around and Marcus is staring down at his wife and then at her!
Tempest: WHAT!?
Marcus: It was an ACCIDENT!
Tempest: Well that WASN'T!
And tempest storms past Candy's body as Marcus jumps to his wife's side, calling out for some help!
Sam Marlowe can be seen sitting among the fans at the edge of the arena when she notices that she is being watched by a cameraman who motions that he is recording. She blushes and smiles at him then stands and motions him away from the crowd before turning back and addressing him.
Sam Marlowe: Y'all are after me for a soundbyte given that I am back on the roster but I gotta tell you that tonight I wasn't a participant, I am an observer that is scouting my possible future opponents in their matches her tonight. I have to say that the competition here in Sin city Wrestling has gotten fiercer and more talented and what that means is that I have to step my game up and really want to compete better.
She pauses for a moment as if thinking of what else she wants to say.
Sam Marlowe: Look I get it, I really do. But now that I am getting to be one hundred percenter and that am going to be stepping back into the ring with the higher level of competitor, I am going to be giving more than one hundred percent in that ring. I made a promise to myself when I signed that contract to return. I promised that I was going to work my way back into title contention and I was once more going to win a title here in SCW. Be that the Bombshell Roulette, the title I set all the records with...the Bombshell World title that I also won or the Internet title that has tantalizingly remained just out of my grasp. Whatever one I challenge for, whatever one is the goal...that is going to be the one think in my focus.
So laying it all on the line, I am coming for the titles ladies. The drive is real and the desire burns to once more wear gold. This I promise.
She smiles into the camera before she gets serious as the fans nearby begin to shout and cheer. She again smiles and moves towards them as a comment floats back over her shoulder.
Sam Marlowe: I hope the Bombshells are ready.
Simone: It's time for tonight's Main Event! Mac Bane caused no small amount of controversy last week when he named Matthew "The Raven" Knox as his next challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship but tonight he faces an old friend turned enemy with the gold on the line as Supreme Machine challenges Mac Bane!
Adams: Supreme Machine is quite literally Mac's biggest challenger to date but the monster has had it rough since his arrival in SCW, can he get the win?
Simone: One way to find out, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen THIS is your Main Event scheduled for one fall and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
The fearsome drum intro starts for "Zetite" by Illnath, grabbing everyone's attention as a terrifying image of Supreme Machine's face glares down from the Tron. The entire arena then plunges into darkness, earning some screams of fright from the crowd after what they just saw.
As the fast-paced vocals begin, tunnels of flame begin erupting around the stage. They go off at different points in regular intervals, following the beat of the song and exploding upwards with a torrent of heat and fire. As the music increases in volume, every single funnel explodes at once, creating a huge fireball about the stage.
When the flames drop, Supreme Machine is standing there.
He has positioned himself at the top of the ramp, standing with his head bowed. His arms are tightly crossed around his chest. Supreme Machine then whips his head upwards and brings up a crucifix pose, with his gaze locking onto the ring battlefield that awaits him.
After a few moments have passed, with the crowd at peak anticipation/anxiety, Supreme Machine begins a slow measured walk down the aisle, looking ready to destroy any fan who dares reach in his direction. This is not a man you want to high five.
He steps over the top rope, making his way to the centre of the ring. Showing no willingness to give up any of the territory around him, he stands, waiting for the bell to sound.
Justin: Currently in the ring, the challenger! From Parts Unknown, weighing in at 350ibs he is the Supreme Machine!
Simone: Supreme Machine has had his ups and downs in SCW but a win here would be a huge boost as he takes on his former ally.
Adams: And at the same time, it'll have Matthew Knox regretting every life choice that has brought him to this moment!
Justin: And his opponent!
The opening guitar riffs of "The Enemy" by Godsmack plays as the big man makes his way out. By his side is his manager, "Chronic" Chris Page. The crowd is on them from the first sounds. The booing is almost thunderous. He laughs as they makes their way towards the ramp.
They only get louder as the pair make their way towards the ring, they walk slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring.
Finally, they reach the ring steps and make their way into the ring.
Mac approaches the centre of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs as the boos reaches a crescendo.
Justin: From Port Arthur Texas, weighing in at 280ibs he is the reigning and defending SCW World Heavyweight Champion, Mac Bane!
Simone: Mac has been a dominant champion even defending the title throughout the Blast from the Past Tournament but his choice of Matthew Knox has ruffled more than a few feathers!
Adams: Up to and including Fenris!
The two huge wrestlers meet in the middle of the ring with only Jasmine separating the two, much larger men, Mac hands over his title to Jasmine without breaking eye contact with Supreme Machine and she holds it above her head before handing off the belt to a stage hand and calling for the bell, as soon as the bell rings Supreme Machine takes the first swing at Mac knocking the champion back a few feet before he returns the favour and a brawl ensues.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Tonight's Main Event is underway! Last week we saw two titles change hands, will this be a third?
Adams: Supreme Machine is the only superstar on the roster who is both taller and heavier than Mac so this will be a hell of a challenge for our champion!
Jasmine tries to restore order but considering the massive size difference between herself, Supreme Machine and Mac the only thing she can really do is stand back and watch the two men trade blows until one of them makes a mistake, that man ends up being Mac as he goes for a wild right hand which Supreme Machine ducks and spins Mac around before catching him with a big boot to the face knocking the champion down.
Simone: I believe this is the first time we've seen Mac get kicked in the face from a standing position.
Adams: It's as I said, Supreme Machine is easily the biggest member of the roster!
Supreme Machine drops an elbow onto Mac's chest for good measure before going for the first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mac kicks out! It's hard to tell what Supreme Machine's reaction is due to the mask he's wearing but the monster shakes his head before picking Mac back up.
Simone: Mac and Supreme Machine were stablemates, I find it hard to believe that Supreme Machine thought that a Big Boot and an Elbow Drop would be enough to put Mac down for the three, especially in a title match!
Adams: Unless he was trying to make Mac expend energy with that kickout!
Whatever the case is, Supreme Machine moves Mac to a corner where he starts delivering back elbow shots to Mac's head and knees to the big Texan's midsection! Jasmine tries to get the massive masked man to back off from Mac but Supreme Machine just glares at her before he returns his attention back to the champ who starts fighting back against his larger challenger with some stiff punches and kicks before managing to power him over for a HUGE delayed vertical Suplex that practically causes the ring to shake.
Simone: I didn't think it was possible for Supreme Machine to be Suplexed like that!
Adams: Mac is no small man himself and he has the strength to go with his size!
This time it's Mac's turn to go for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
And Supreme Machine gets the shoulder up! It's at this point that we see a side of Mac that we rarely see as the big Texan makes his way over to the nearest corner and hops up to the middle rope.
Simone: What's Mac up too? He's not a high flyer!
Adams: No but I think he has something in mind for Supreme Machine!
We quickly find the answer to Belinda's question as Mac delivers a fist drop to Supreme Machine's face and then heads back to the middle rope looking to follow that up with a knee drop! However, this time Supreme Machine tolls out of the way of the knee drop causing Mac's knees to impact against the matt and the big Texan to grunt in pain as Supreme Machine gets back to his feet and hits Mac with a Powerbomb!
Simone: First we had the powerbombs from Ms. Jon to Mercedes and Seleana earlier in the show, and now we've got a powerbomb from one huge man to another!
Adams: And Supreme Machine is going for a pin on Mac!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mac gets the shoulder up! Supreme Machine's head snaps around to Jasmine and whilst his facial expressions are still hidden behind his mask, it's clear that he's angry at Jasmine for an apparently slow count and in spite of the massive size different between Supreme Machine and Jasmine, the ref stands her ground at which point Supreme Machine backs her up to the corner! Fortunately for Jasmine Mac spins Supreme Machine around and starts firing punches before whipping him off the ropes.
Simone: Thank god Mac was there! I'd hate to think of what Supreme Machine would've done otherwise!
Adams: Probably something that would get him disqualified!
On the rebound Mac hits a discuss clothesline on Supreme Machine but all that does is stagger the massive wrestler! Mac then hits a discuss punch but whilst that moves Supreme Machine back a few feet he still remains on his feet and it takes a massive lariat to finally knock the mountain of a man down! Mac goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Supreme Machine kicks out! After a few minutes both men get back to their feet and they go for the same move, namely a running Clothesline and both men go down hard.
Simone: Both Mac and Supreme Machine are down and Jasmine's started her count!
Adams: Whoever gets up first will have a massive advantage!
When Jasmine's count reaches seven Supreme Machine is the first one to get back to his feet but rather than go for the pin he tries for something that no one could've seen coming, namely he goes to the top rope!
Simone: What is Supreme Machine doing? He has no business going to the top rope!
Adams: Best I can figure is that he wants to go outside the box to try to beat Mac!
Due to his unfamiliarity on the top rope, it takes Supreme Machine a second to steady himself on the top rope and this gives Mac Bane the time he needs to recover and meet his challenger with a right hand to the face stunning him long enough for Mac to meet him on the top rope! The two men trade punches on the top rope before Mac stuns Supreme Machine with a headbutt and hooks him for a Superplex!
Simone: They can't be serious, that's a combined weight of 630ibs that's about to come crashing down on the ring!
Adams: Can the ring take the combined weight of Mac and Supreme Machine?!
Supreme Machine tries to fight out of it but Mac hits the Superplex........
AND THE RING IMPLODES FROM THE IMPACT!
Simone: OH MY GOD! ARE MAC AND SUPREME MACHINE EVEN CONSCIOUS?!
Adams: I've never seen that happen in the past ten years as a colour commentator!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Jasmine was knocked over by the impact and is sitting there, eyes wide at what has transpired in front of her! Paramedics rush down to check on the wrestlers but somehow they are still moving and both Mac and Supreme Machine get back to their feet, however Supreme Machine is slower to get back to his feet and this gives Mac a chance to hit him with a Headlock Driver!
Simone: FADE AWAY! AFTER THE RING IMPLODED!
Adams: Err, stick a fork in Supreme Machine AND THE RING, they are done!
Mac goes for the pin as stage hands rush down to asses the damage on the ring!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and STILL SCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, MAC BANE!
Simone: What a match and what a way to end the night!
Adams: How the hell are they going to fix the ring for next week's show?!
Paramedics check on Mac and Supreme Machine as Jasmine hands Mac the title!
Simone: Unbelievable! Mac Bane has overcome him biggest challenge to date!
Adams: Biiiiiiiiiiiig time.
Simone: Well that's all we have time for! Join us next week as the Greece Lightning Tour continues. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying goodnight everyone!
The scene faces to Mac holding the championship above his head
THANK YOU! To Chris, Mark, Jeremy, The Lord MK, Andy, JJ, Derek, Annie, Gerrit and Jen. Also again to Annie for the great match banners and to everyone who roleplayed!
