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

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

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

Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!

Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out at the capacity crowd on hand. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.

Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the TCC Arena in Tucson, Arizona and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!

The crowd cheers!

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

The crowd cheers as Amanda dances out onto the stage disco style, wearing a rainbow, loose-sleeve top and lavender bell-bottom pants with rainbow bell-bottoms, and white disco boots.; the music starts and Amanda begins her performance.

Amanda: Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen.

And with that, the opening performance comes to a close and the Tucson fans cheer and whistle towards Amanda as she moves about the stage with the brightest of smiles, blowing kisses and waving to one and all before taking her leave backstage behind the curtains.

The camera then switches over to the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams sit at the broadcaster table.

Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to Tucson, Arizona for Sin City Wrestling! On behalf of my colleague Jason Adams...

Jason leans over to give the camera a friendly wave and a cheesy watermelon grin.

Simone: I am Belinda Simone and THIS is Climax Control!

Adams: Can you believe it Bel? Summer XXXTREME X it's only three weeks away!

Simone: And tonight the Road To Summer XXXTREME X continues as the final challengers will be decided for the Roulette Championship matches aboard the Sun Princess cruise!

Adams: And don't forget the main event tonight! The World Heavyweight Championship is on the line!

Simone: And tonight's action begins with one of the most highly anticipated debuts in the history of SCW as Zoey Lukas, sister of SCW's very own Alicia Lukas, steps inside of the six-sided ring to face a true challenge in the Bombshell veteran, Jessie Salco!

Adams: Then we find out the final Challenger for the Roulette Championship at Summer XXXTREME X when Agostino Romano takes on former three-time Internet Champion, Agostino Romano!

Simone: Mercedes Vargas has the golden opportunity to walk away with the Roulette Championship at Summer XXXTREME X but tonight she faces a familiar foe and one of the most underrated women on the roster in my opinion, Seleana Zdunich!

Adams: Then it's the Bombshells turn when we find out the final Challenger for Kat Jones at Summer XXXTREME X when Ariana Angelos goes up against Melissa!

Simone: Mark "the Dragon" Cross has been looking to scratch and call his way back to the World Heavyweight Championship but as of late, he has hit one stumbling block after another in his path. Tonight she faces another test, this being the former SCU Underground Champion Hitamashii!

Adams: Miles Kasey aka Mister Abs has a shot at the Roulette Championship in 3 weeks but tonight he goes up against the Savior's "Godly" Ken Davison!

Simone: And finally we have one of the most hotly anticipated World Heavyweight Championship rematches ever! We were all stunned and sickened at the heinous attack on former Bombshell Champion Amber Ryan by Masque. What made things even worse was the epic betrayal of Amber's "friend" Matthew "the Raven" Knox who simply stood there and watched that attack happen! Now Amber's husband and the former World Champion Mac Bane is looking to make Knox pay in the most extreme way imaginable! This time it's not even for the World Championship! This is all about loyalty and revenge! Tune in to see all this and more on SCW Climax Control!




We can see Melissa backstage stretching as she is preparing for her match against Ariana Angelos later on in the show, she just finishes her stretching as she notices Jessie Salco wandering around the locker room area and sighs.

Melissa: What is she?? The errand girl that has to be around the locker room all the time???

She slowly gets up, walking over towards her locker room door as she is about to close it, but when the two Bombshells come into eye contact with each other stops and smiles at Jessie.

Melissa: I'm sorry, but I couldn't help notice that it seemed that you were lost. Can I help you???

She smirks at Jessie, who is about to answer her but Melissa stops her.

Melissa: Now I couldn't help but notice that you were also booked tonight, facing someone that like yours truly is quite the big girl. But I am sure that a seasoned veteran like yourself would have no trouble dealing with someone as in-experienced as Zoey right??

Jessie doesn't respond as Melissa plays with her long curly hair.

Melissa: A strange thought though, to put a seasoned veteran and a rookie as the opening match while yours truly is in a qualifying match for the Roulette title? Just in her second match to boot!! How quickly we tend to forget those who have paved the way for us young rookies huh??

Jessie shakes her head as she folds her arms.

Jessie: Beats me, gotta face new opposition every now and again to avoid things getting stale, whether it's you, Levana or Zoey.

Jessie admits before letting out a sigh.

Jessie: Besides, you've got your own match to worry about, as you said it's a Roulette Qualifier and you're facing a graduate of the Go Gym, a gym known for breeding champions! I know you're familiar with Kat but trust me, WHEN Ari wins the qualifier tonight she'll continue that tradition at Summer XXXTreme X!

Jessie adds before pausing.

Jessie: Huh, that show's the tenth year anniversary of my Supercard debut, funny how time flies!

Melissa smiles after hearing the statement from Jessie, crossing her arms across her chest while leaning against the door post.

Melissa: Funny how you all are so confident in wrestling gyms producing champions and stuff, do you know the man that trains me?? The man that has worn every championship a male superstar can obtain?? Including winning one of those pool party matches at Summer XXXTreme... Now I am quite happy for you that it will be your tenth anniversary, it will be my one year anniversary also.... celebrating that Goth took me on that trip and had a very romantic time with him.

She closes her eyes for a moment, reminding herself of some of those moments before turning her attention back to Jessie.

Melissa: As the owner of the gym has produced the current Roulette champ, former world champion and Internet champion as well as this year's Blast From The Past winner... So it's all so debatable on who produces what don't you think?? It's the talent that gets the job done and I intend to get the job done tonight.

she moves slowly towards Jessie and leans forward a little

Melissa: By the way, how is your throat doing??

Reminding Jessie what she had done the other week, by grabbing her by the throat for a moment as a warning.

Melissa: It's quite interesting about your anniversary, it almost makes me want to challenge you for a match at this year's cruise ship, it all depends on whether what will happen with Ariana tonight.... as well as whether Zoey will allow you to walk to the back on your own.

Smiling at Jessie

Jessie: I am familiar with your fiance's work, it was the GWA that got me into wrestling all those years ago and I'll admit, my favorite wasn't your fiance, it was Steve Ramone!

Jessie admits as she shrugs her shoulders.

Jessie: Going from that lose streak to a multi-time champion, it's almost like my own journey in SCW only he didn't the short sighted idiots telling me that I'm the worst wrestler in SCW because of my win/loss record, you might want to watch yourself because you might end up in the same situation.

Jessie says as she steps up to Melissa.

Jessie: And it's funny, I met Steve when he returned to SCW a few years ago when he came to SCW for one last run, by the end of it I knew one addege was absolutely true: you should never meet your heroes.

Jessie says with a frown thinking back to Steve's last year in SCW.

Jessie: Oh, and by the way?

Jessie swings and connects with a solid punch to Melissa's jaw stunning the taller Bombshell.

Jessie: THAT WAS FOR MY THROAT!

Melissa's eyes widen as she holds her jaw after feeling the surprisingly strong punch from the smaller Jessie Salco. Taking a few moments to collect her bearings as she is about to go crazy upon Jessie.

Melissa: Why you little....

With that Melissa charges forward, only to have Jessie sidestep her and trip her over her own feet. Melissa falls forward and lands on the concrete floor as Jessie moves forward towards Melissa as she bends forward to whisper something into her ear.

Jessie: You may be bigger and stronger Melissa, but I'm faster and have a lot more experience! You won't catch me off guard that easily!

Jessie says as she stands up and goes to walk off.

Jessie: Good luck against Ari tonight, I've sparred with her a couple of times, she's a talented girl, so you're going to need it.

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco ready to be interviewed by Ms. Rocky Mountains.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Jessie, in a few moments you are opening tonight's show against the newcomer Zoey Lukas, Zoey has only been in SCW for a short time but has not minced words when talking about you, on Twitter or in her promo.

Jessie: Yeah, I noticed.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: And you didn't mince words about Zoey or her sister Alicia, do you stand by your comments?

Jessie: Rocky, we've known each other for just under a decade at this point, hell you were there when I made my first appearance in the company at twenty two years old! You should know that the only comments that I don't stand by are those comments that led to a year long title shot ban and made 2018 the worst year of my professional wrestling career! If Zoey wants to continue to be indoctrinated by her older sister when it comes to the Bombshell division then let her, I'll just be the one to give her a realty check in the ring!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: One last thing before you head off, earlier tonight you had a tense confrontation with Melissa, now since her first appearance there's been some tense confrontations with Goth's fiancé but it was only this confrontation and last week's that ended in violence, do you have any comments on that?

Jessie: I don't know what Goth's game is by introducing me to his fiancé and having these subsequent confrontations with her on both Climax Control and Underground! If he wants Melissa to face in the ring, why not go to the bosses and ask them to book me against her in Melissa's debut match not unlike what the Lukas sisters did last week? But no, instead Melissa debuted against the Bombshell roster's favourite punching bag Chloe Benton and we all saw how that ended for her!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Do you think Goth wants you to face Melissa?

Jessie: Goth's been in this business longer than I have but we're still veterans of the wrestling business, thing is? Veterans can be hard to read, we know all the tricks of the trade, how to take a rookie's mistake and how to make them pay for it! Melissa's his protégé and the bosses clearly think highly of her since she's competing against Ari for a spot in the Bombshell Ultimate X Over the Pool Match at Summer XXXTreme tonight but if a match against her is what he wants, why not just come out and say it? Anything else Rocky?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: No.

Jessie: Good, I've got an egotistical newcomer to shut up!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Back to you guys at ringside!

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




Justin: This opening 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... making her debut here in Sin City Wresting. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia... Zoey Lukas.

"Dancing with the dead" by crown the empire hits and a green spotlight hits the stage. Zoey comes out and stands in the middle of it with a small smile on her face. She throws her hands across her chest in an X with her hands up in the metal horns. She makes her way down to the ring looking at the fans with a small smirk shaking her head before running and jumping onto the apron sliding across her knee, she pops up and does the X again before getting into the ring

The ref waits till Zoey is in her corner before moving to her and then Jessie to check for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

Salco and Lukas stare across the ring from each other, the soon circle the ring and trade words between each other as they keep a distance from each other, until Lukas turns and looks to catch Salco off guard as tries for a wild swing but Salco ducks and charges forward off the ropes and catches Lukas with a dropkick, but Lukas takes a few steps backs, but she isn't unbalanced. Lukas turns around with a grin and Salco quickly moves in and hits several forearm shots before following up with a mule kick, before rushing toward into the ropes, but Lukas follows and bounces off them herself and as Salco rushes in she leaps and rolls through for a quick surprise pin, but the ref isn't quick enough to count it and Lukas quickly kicks out.

Simone: Lukas and Salco exchange a verbal insults at each other as Lukas looks to make the first move but Salco sees it coming and ducks and comes back at Lukas and hits but doesn't make an impact – dropkick – but Salco isn't put off and charges in and hits several forearm shots and then a kick to Lukas' stomach.

Adams: Salco tries for a surprise pin, but the ref isn't quick enough to register the pin as Lukas kicks out that quickly.

Lukas and Salco quickly get back to their feet and move in as Lukas looks for another wild swing, but Salco grabs that arm before hooking both up before dropping down with a back slide into another pin attempt, but nothing comes from it as both are back to their feet and Salco hits a standing dropkick to Lukas and that sends Lukas to the mat and into the corner. Salco climbs back to her feet as does Lukas who leaps up against the ropes. Salco rushes in looking for a splash but Lukas dodges before turning and rushing in herself, but Salco gets a foot up and Lukas catches it before stumbling away.

Adams: Both get back to their feet as Lukas tries again with a swing but Salco ducks and hooks Lukas' arm and into a back slide and a pin but again the ref doesn't get a chance to slap the mat and Lukas quickly rolls free and they both get back to their feet and Salco surprises Lukas with a standing dropkick.

Simone: Salco attempts to maximise on the dropkick and with Lukas in the corner as tries for a splash, but Lukas dodges and Lukas tries to counter but Salco gets a boot up and catches Lukas who stumbles away.

Lukas turns and glares at Salco, Lukas moves in and Salco goes for a wild swing, which is dodged, and Lukas fire pin a punch to Salco's chest, which Salco drops to a knee and Lukas turns and rushes the ropes, bouncing off them and as she comes back Salco quickly recovers and hits a drop toe hold sending Lukas face first into the middle turnbuckle.

Simone: Solid start I think for Lukas, as she moves in and dodges Salco's swing and punches Salco in the chest as she turns and bounces off the rope's opposite, but she is stopped by a drop toe hold into the middle turnbuckle.

Salco is back to her feet, while Lukas leans on the middle turnbuckle, Salco kicks the middle ropes and Lukas crawls away before climbing from the ring, as Salco turns to see where Lukas is. Lukas holds her face following her contact with the middle turnbuckle.

Adams: Lukas holds her face, as she crawls away and leaves the ring.

ONE!

Lukas takes her own time, as Salco watches on as she smirks and yells at Lukas to come back into the ring...

TWO!

Lukas looks up into the ring, as Salco switches it up into insults...

THREE!

Simone: Salco want this match to hurry up as she heckles and insults Lukas, but Lukas is taking her time.

Lukas goes to climb back into the ring as Salco goes after her, but she quickly slides from the ring as Salco shakes her head before rolling herself from the ring, just as Lukas goes to roll herself back into the ring but Salco grabs a foot and prevents her from doing so and drags her back outside. The ref who was up to four, make a fresh re-count...

ONE!

Adams: Lukas goes to slide in but smirks and slides out, as Salco instead climbs out of the ring, but Lukas decides to climb back in, but Salco grabs Lukas' foot and stops her from going back in and she drags her back.

Lukas moves to Salco, but Salco leaps up and catches Lukas with a knee and Lukas stumbles back up against the ring.

TWO!

Salco takes her time, as Lukas rolls herself back into the ring as Salco quickly follows as gets back into the ring as Lukas crawls away, but Salco follows, as Lukas grabs the middle ropes and pushes herself up to a single knee and Salco catches her with a kick to the back. Lukas cries out from the kick but doesn't get time to recover or move as Salco hits another kick, as Lukas leans up against the ropes and Salco follows up that kick with a few more kick to the side of her body. As Lukas grits her teeth and leans up against the ropes, Salco turns and bounces off the ropes as she moves towards Lukas, Lukas dodges and Salco stops herself in the ropes.

Simone: What a knee from Salco... but why take a moment. It allows Lukas to get back into the ring and Salco follows and works on Lukas with kicks across the back and the ribs. But as soon as there is a hint of pace, Lukas slows it down and avoid the highflyer's potential attack.

But before she can react, Lukas reacts first and delivers a vicious mule kick across Salco's chest. Salco drops to the mat, as Lukas approaches and grabs Salco, where she pulls her up and then lifts her up before dropping her down face first before going for a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Adams: And just like that Lukas switches everything around and Salco is on the backfoot. As Lukas goes for a pin but only gets a two count.

Lukas slaps the mat, as she mounts Salco and begins to forearm shot after forearm shot before climbing off her and back to her feet, where she grabs Salco by the hair and yanks her off the mat, where she clubs her back before grabbing her hand and Irish whipping her across the ring with force and sends her into the corner. Lukas goes to charge in with a boot, but Salco dodges and Lukas ends up in the corner with her foot on the top turnbuckle.

Simone: Lukas begins to use her weight and height advantage against Salco as she clubs her and then forcible whips Salco into he corner and goes to charge in with a boot but Salco dodges.

Salco quickly capitalises and she kicks the back of Lukas leg a couple of times before driving a shoulder into the back of her knee and Lukas drops down to the mat. Salco quicky stands back to her feet before delivering kicks to the spine before rushing forward and hitting the ropes, where she hits a low clothesline.

Adams: Salco fights back and hits a chop block to the ac of Lukas' knee and sends her down to the mat before delivering kicks and then a clothesline.

Salco goes for a pin...

ONE!

TWO!

TH...KICKOUT!

Salco shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet, where she turns and leaps off the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault before going for another pin...

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Simone: Lukas kicks out following the clothesline kicks out again following the springboard moonsault.

Salco again shakes her head as she pulls Lukas up into a seated position and locks in rear naked choke hold, which Lukas quicky grabs at Salco's arms but Salco tightens her grip a little more, as Lukas kicks her legs about but gets nowhere and begins to fade. The ref moves in and checks on Lukas and raises her arm...

Drops once.

The ref raises it again for the second time.

Drops twice.

The ref raises it once more, but this time Lukas keeps it up and she begins to twist and turn and slowly battles to get to a knee, before pushing herself up to her feet as Salco keeps the choke in hold and wraps her legs around Lukas' waist, but Lukas runs backwards into a corner as she squashes Salco between herself and turnbuckle but Salco doesn't releases and Lukas does it again, this time Salco grip disappears and she lets go of Lukas.

Adams: It looks like Salco is in control here, as she tries to choke out Lukas, but Lukas doesn't allow her arm to drop for the third time and Lukas battles back as she drives Salco into the turnbuckle a couple of times.

Lukas turns and proceeds to deliver punches to Salco, who does her best to cover up. Lukas then grabs a handful of hair and yanks her away from the corner, where she drives a knee up into Salco's torso before settings up and hitting a pumphandle slam. Salco roll away, as Lukas turns and moves to Salco, where she stomps on her a few times before grabbing Salco once again and this time she lifts her up into position for the stalling vertical suplex...

Simone: Lukas turns things around against Salco and overpower Salco as she punches her before hitting a pumphandle slam.

Adams: Safe to say Salco is done.

She holds the vertical part for a good 20seconds before dropping down with the suplex part, but Lukas isn't done, and she pulls Salco up once more and this time hits a running powerslam. Lukas shakes her head and she climbs back to her feet and picks up Salco and this time finishes off Salco with the Amazon Bomb (Jackknife Powerbomb) before going for the pin...

Adams: Amazing show of strength from Lukas before putting away Salco with the Amazon Bomb.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Simone: Lukas picks up a big win on her debut match.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Zoey Lukas.

Lukas' music hits over the p.a as she climbs off Salco and back to her feet, as he ref raises her arm in victory.




LIVE! July 10, 2022 From the Sun Princess Cruise Line!

It's.....!

Hosted by none other than former Two-time Roulette, Internet and World Heavyweight Champion Griffin Hawkins!




There is a commotion at the entrance area and everyone's attention is now focused on that area. After a few moments RAISE YOUR GLASS by Pink hits the speakers and Bill Barnhart steps out of the backstage area while pyros erupt around the landing. Bill stops to wait for the pyros so subside then he lifts his mic and begins his comments.

Bill: Agostino Romano. . .professional jobber. . .left one sport due to not performing well then goes into wrestling where he again doesn't perform well. Agostino we've been involved in two matches here in Sin City Wrestling. One was a Fatal Four Way at Climax Control 289 on January 10, 2021. It was Daniels who won the match by slamming you through the table. Got that Agostino? Lincoln slammed YOU through the table. . .not me.

The crowd erupts in boos but Bill doesn't care what they think.

Bill: Then we had a match at Climax Control 308 on August 15, 2021, where I defeated you and advanced in the Internet Championship Tournament and you went into hiding.

The crowd gets louder in their boos so Bill goes off on them.

Bill: Boo all you want because what you think is meaningless concerning my match against Agostino Romano. When I walk away the winner of the match I expect to hear you all cheering me!

Bill turns and returns into the backstage area while the crowd continues to boo loudly.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Bill Barnhart and Agostino Romano, the two men about to compete for a slot in the Roulette Title Match at Summer XXXTreme X, standing by waiting for their match stipulation to be determined.

Simone: It's time for our next Summer XXXTreme Qualifier! So far, Miles Kasey, Alexander Raven, Kayla Richards, and Mercedes Vargas have secured their spots in their respective matches and tonight we're determining the other two challengers, Ariana Angelos and Melissa will compete for the last spot in the Bombshell match later on tonight but first we have a rematch between Bill and Agostino!

Adams: The last time these two men met was when Bill was defending the title for the first time, that match ended up being the annual tradition known as the Black Friday Brawl which Bill won and I think it's a safe bet that Agostino will look to avenge that defeat!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?

Bill and Agostino nod before the wheel is spun and they watch on intently, after a few minutes the wheel begins to slow down and a few stipulations are shown: First Blood, I Quit, Falls Count Anywhere, Lingerie Match (causing Jason to panic for a second) before it seemingly stops on the Mini MX Mayhem Match that Mark Cross created at the beginning of the cycle.

Agostino: Yes! That spot is as good as mine!

However, it the last moment it nudges over to another new stipulation and the two men stare at it for a good minute.

Bill: Poolside Brawl?!

Ms. Rocky Mountains gets a message from the bosses and after reading through it she nods before turning to the two men.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: This match is going to take place in and around a pool! You two will have to wear swimming gear for the match! You can only win by pin-fall of submission!

Agostino: Are we bringing our own or will one be provided?

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Bosses said bring your own!

Simone: That's rather appropriate since we're in the middle of summer and they are competing for a spot in the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match!

Adams: I'm surprised it's taken this long for a match like this to be created!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Jasmine will stop by the hotel so you can grab your swimming trunks, good luck gentlemen!

The two men walk off to prepare for the match as the scene fades.




Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and the first of tonight's Summer XXXTreme Qualifiers as we see former Roulette Champion Bill Barnhart go one on one with former Internet Champion Agostino Romano!

Adams: As I said before, this isn't the first time we've seen this men duke it out under Roulette Rules but neither of them are a champion this time so we'll see how it plays out!

Simone: We now take you to Justin who's on location at the pool!

We cut to the pool where we see Justin on location wearing a loose shirt over a pair of swim trunks.

Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a Roulette Rules Summer XXXTreme Qualifier Match scheduled for one fall! And thanks to a spin of the wheel, we know that this will be a poolside brawl match! Only way to win is to pin or submit your opponent in and around the pool!

The crowd cheers as Agostino is the first to emerge from the changing room wearing a modest pair of swim trunks in the same colours as his gear (green and yellow).

Justin: Introducing first, from Milan, Italy, weighing in at 215ibs, Agostino Romano!

Simone: The last time these two men met was when Agostino served as Bill's first challenger for the Roulette Championship, now they are competing for a chance to get their hands on that title!

Adams: This should be good!

Bill emerges from the changing room next and proudly displays his swim wear for the world to see, unfortunately for everyone else, he's wearing a pink and black speedo.

Simone: OH GOD NO!

Adams: MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

Justin: Err, his opponent, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, weighing in at 240ibs "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Justin announces whilst trying desperately to avoid looking at Bill's crotch area, Jasmine shudders before she calls for the bell and Agostino spears Bill into the water!

DING DING DING!

Simone: Err, whilst we try to recover from that horrifying imagery, the match is underway!

Adams: How is that man married to Bea? HONESTLY?!

Bill's head emerges from the water first followed swiftly by Agostino and they start trading blows in the water, Jasmine can only watch on from the pool side because, as she's still wearing her referee uniform, she can't get in the water without having to get changed into a dry uniform, eventually Bill gets rocked by a European Uppercut and he leans against the side of the pool, seeing that Bill's shoulders are down (technically) Agostino goes for the pin the best he can by leaning his body against Bill's.

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill pushes Agostino off him to break up the count! Bill starts to swim away from Agostino and spots in inflatable boat in the pool before deciding to get on it, unfortunately the cameraman makes the mistake of focussing on his rear end as he gets on the boat.

Simone: I NEED BLEACH FOR MY EYES! STAT!

Adams: SAVE SOME FOR ME!

Agostino swims after his older opponent and initially goes to pull Bill back into the pool but Bill kicks him away before he tries to move the boat away from Agostino, he doesn't do it fast enough however as Agostino jumps onto the inflatable boat and the two men resume their brawl atop the inflatable boat! Jasmine doesn't have the best view of the action from her current position and runs around the pool to get a better view of the action, unfortunately she loses her footing and falls into the pool.

Adams: Well, it's official, Bill Barnhart in a speedo has made Jasmine wet!

Simone: YOU HAD TO SAY IT DIDN'T YOU JASON?! I can't even bring myself to yell at you to KEEP IT CLEAN! Anyway, Bill is getting the upper hand!

Indeed, Bill does get the upper hand with a boot to the midsection and drops Agostino with a Powerbomb onto the boat! Once Jasmine recovers from the shock of landing in the water she swims over to count Bill's pin-fall attempt.

ONE!

TWO!

And Agostino kicks out, Jasmine quickly gets out of the pool and looks herself over.

Jasmine: Is this how Dawn felt during the 12 Labours of Hercules Match?! Ugh, give me a minute guys, I brought a back-up uniform just in case!

Simone: Somewhere in the arena Ms. Rocky Mountains just woke up from her day dream in a cold sweat!

Adams: That aside, Bill's using the situation to stomp the hell out of Agostino's balls!

Indeed, whilst Jasmine runs to the women's changing room to get changed Bill grabs Agostino's legs and starts repeatedly stomping away at Agostino's balls causing the Italian Superstar to cry out in pain each time, Jasmine soon returns from the changing room in a dry referee uniform and she carefully returns to her previous position just as Agostino kicks Bill back into the pool using his leg strength! Agostino gets back to his feet just as Bill emerges from the pool and thinking quickly he leaps off the boat and hits a cross body onto Bill! Bill lays face up in the pool and Agostino goes for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Bill kicks out! Agostino starts to swim away intending to take the match outside of the pool but Bill gives chase and they meet at the steps into the pool! Bill lifts Agostino up for a Back Suplex but Agostino slips out the back and hits Bill with an atomic drop variant that lands Bill balls first onto the metal railing!

Adams: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET BILL! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR SUBJECTING EVERYONE TO YOUR ASS IN A SPEEDO!

Simone: Err, what Jason said! Either way, Bea won't be happy with Agostino for that!

Bill falls backwards into the pool giving Agostino some breathing room as he leaves the pool, however Bill recovers quicker than Agostino anticipated and he follows Agostino out of the pool to roll him up (and thankfully the cameraman decides not to focus on Bill's rear end this time).

ONE!

TWO!

And Agostino kicks out! Both man get back to their feet but Agostino makes the first move by hitting Bill with a clothesline and calling for his finisher!

Simone: Agostino is aiming for The Finishing Line!

Adams: Yes! Punish Bill for the horrors he's subjected us to in this match!

Agostino picks up Bill and goes for the Snapmare Neckbreaker but Bill slips out and locks in the Sweet Dreams!

Simone: SWEET DREAMS! BUT I CAN ASSURE THAT NO ONE WILL HAVE SWEET DREAMS AFTER THIS MATCH!

Adams: Thank god it's over! Stick a fork in Agostino, he's done!

Jasmine checks on Agostino but it's clear that he's out and she calls for the bell!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of this match and haunter of my nightmares, "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Simone: Bill wins in one of the most horrifying matches of the cycle and for once, it didn't involve blood!

Adams: If anyone needs me I'll be at the bar!

Bill celebrates his win whilst Jasmine checks on Agostino!




SINGLES MATCH
Alicia Lukas v Diamond Steele




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control 334 where we Krystal Wolfe hanging out in the backstage area, the Aussie Bombshell unsuccessfully challenged for the Bombshell Roulette Title against Kat Jones the week before and is currently still recovering from the wounds she suffered during the Scaffold over the Piranha Tank Match against Diamond Steele two weeks ago.

Jessie: So, how's the ribs holding up?

Krystal looks up and sees Jessie approaching her and grins.

Krystal: Still tender but I am getting around a bit better, managed to take Garrus out for a walk yesterday morning without any pains from my ribs and he can pull like no one's business.

Jessie: I'm guessing you mean your doggo and not the Mass Effect character?

Jessie asks with a smirk and Krystal laughs.

Krystal: Nah, that Garrus was too busy doing calibrations to come out with me! Anyway, your recovered from the match against Zoey?

Jessie: More or less, she's a tough opponent, that's for sure! But I'm not as banged up ass you after that Scaffold Match so I'm not complaining.

Krystal: One thing I will complain about is Bill's speedo during the men's Roulette Title Match!

Jessie: Agreed! That mental image is going to haunt my nightmares for the rest of the summer!

Jessie admits as the two women shudder.

Krystal: You have any plans for Summer XXXTreme yet? I know you've been busy with Melissa!

Jessie: Don't know what's going to happen there but we'll wait and see, I will be watching her match against Ari though! You?

Krystal: If I'm booked then I'll take any match I can get, but with my injuries, I'm not holding my breath waiting for my match to be announced, there's no way to tell if my ribs will be completely healed by then!

Jessie: True enough, best you can do in the meantime is take it easy!

Krystal: I hear that! Well, good luck with Melissa!

Jessie: After my confrontation with her earlier? I'll need it!

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




Adams: Welcome back to Climax Control! Two weeks ago, Mercedes Vargas booked her ticket for the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match at Summer XXXTreme X joining champion Kat Jones and fellow challengers Kayla Richards and the winner of tonight's contest between Ariana Angelos and Melissa! However, coming up next Mercedes gets a chance to continue her momentum as she goes on one with the first woman to challenge Kat for the Roulette Title, Seleana Zdunich!

Simone: Seleana seems set to take on her estranged wife Christina Rose at the cruise but she came close to winning the Bombshell Roulette Title for the second time earlier this cycle! However, she instead joined Krystal Wolfe as the former champions who have failed to dethrone Kat and this could be a momentum booster for Mercedes or a way to bounce back for Seleana!

Adams: This should be a great match! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

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, weighing in at 125 pounds, 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 for her opponent to arrive.

Simone: Mercedes is a woman who's done it all in SCW but for a long time many considered her washed up!

Adams: I don't know what lit a fire under her but since Into the Void XI she's been on a serious role including the win that earned her the spot in the Bombshell Ultimate X Match!

Justin: And her opponent!

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, weighing in at 125ibs she is The Cat Seleana Zdunich!

Simone: Much like Mercedes, Seleana is a well accomplished woman in SCW who hit a serious slump only to bounce back in a major way with a win that many predicted was a sure-fire win for her opponent!

Adams: Mercedes beat Alicia Lukas, Seleana pinned Tempest, it's easy to make a comparison there!

Jacob goes over the rules for the match with the two veteran Bombshells and once they nod tp confirm that they know the rules he calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: This is a match that could go either way, both women have serious momentum for Summer XXXTreme X at stake here!

Adams: This will be good!

Once the bell rings Mercedes and Seleana lock up in the middle of the ring with neither woman backing down an inch, after a few minutes Seleana takes the advantage by hitting an arm drag on Mercedes and following that up with a dropkick that sends Mercedes into the nearest corner, Seleana takes a moment to pose for the fans but it's a moment that lasts a little too long as Mercedes explodes out of the corner with a Spear.

Simone: The action is already fast and furious between the two women as Mercedes takes control of the match with a huge spear!

Adams: She nearly cut Seleana in half with that spear and Mercedes is going for the first pin of the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Seleana gets the shoulder up, Mercedes doesn't bother arguing with Jacob as she knows that it's too early in the match to get a pinfall on a competitor of Seleana's calibre and instead picks the Swedish Bombshell up and goes for a Back Suplex but Seleana slips out the back and grabs Mercedes from behind before going for a German Suplex but Mercedes lands on her feet and goes for a Discuss Clothesline only for that to be countered by Seleana into a backslide!

ONE!

TWO!

And Mercedes kicks out! Mercedes then rolls out of the ring to try to stop Seleana's momentum before it gets out of control.

Simone: Both women seem to be evenly matched with neither Seleana or Mercedes backing down!

Adams: Same goes for their proportions, Mercedes and Seleana are among the tallest Bombshells, especially Seleana who, as I mentioned before, could pass for a Supermodel, and their weights are in the same ballpark!

Seleana goes to follow Mercedes to the outside but Jacob tells her to back off and give the Argentinian Bombshell some breathing room as Mercedes paces around the outside, Jacob leans in between the top and middle rope to tell Mercedes to return to the ring but the wrestling veteran isn't in any hurry to listen to him and eventually Seleana loses patience as she leaps right over Jacob and hits Mercedes with a flipping Suicide Dive!

Simone: I've heard of going behind the referee's back for an advantage but this is the first time I've heard of going over the ref!

Adams: Considering how many women in the Bombshell roster employ the high flying style, Seleana and Mercedes included, I'm surprised we don't see it more often in Bombshell Matches!

Jacob restarts his count (which had reached four before Seleana did her dive) as he waits for either Seleana or Mercedes to get up and make their next move, Seleana is the first one to get back to her feet and she rolls Mercedes back into the ring before rolling her back in, rather than follow Mercedes back into the ring right away Seleana heads to the top rope and hits Mercedes with a Moonsault and then goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Mercedes gets the shoulder up! Seleana backs off to let Mercedes get back to her feet and when she does, Seleana goes for a running Hurricanrana only for Mercedes to reverse it into a Slingshot variant of a Powerbomb! Mercedes holds on for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Seleana kicks out! Unfortunately for Seleana however Mercedes wastes no time in transitioning into a Boston Crab to keep up the pressure.

Simone: Mercedes and Seleana just traded pinfalls and now Mercedes has Seleana in a Boston Crab!

Adams: Which is a lot more painful than delicious when it comes to wrestling!

Jacob gets into position to ask Seleana if she wants to submit to Mercedes's submission hold but the Swedish Bombshell is adamant in her refusal! Hearing this Mercedes leans back on her hold to crank up the pressure even more but even that isn't enough for Seleana to consider tapping out as she is eventually able to reach the ring ropes and force the rope break! Mercedes keeps the hold locked in a little longer only breaking it at the count of four and once she does break it Mercedes drags Seleana back to the middle of the ring for another pin attempt!

ONE!

TWO!

And Seleana BARELY kicks out in time! This time, Mercedes loses her cool and gets in Jacob's face thinking that he applies a slow count but Jacob is adamant that he applies a fair count! However, the argument gives Seleana enough time to roll up Mercedes with a School Girl!

ONE!

TWO!

And it's Mercedes's turn to barely get the shoulder up in time! Seleana doesn't argue with Jacob however instead calling for her finisher!

Simone: Seleana's calling for the Kattoga!

Adams: She has put many Bombshells away with that move, will Mercedes be among them?

Seleana waits for Mercedes to get back to her feet and goes for the Kattoga, however Mercedes blocks it and then reverses it into the Black Rose Overdrive!

Simone: BLACK ROSE OVERDRIVE! Mercedes hits it!

Adams: Stick a fork in Seleana, she's done!

Mercedes rolls Seleana onto her back before going for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, Mercedes Vargas!

Simone: With that win Mercedes gains a huge momentum boost heading into the Summer XXXTreme Cruise and the Bombshell Roulette Title Match!

Adams: And it's back to the drawing board for Seleana, what a match!

Mercedes celebrates her win whilst Jacob checks on Seleana.




The scene opens backstage where we see Greek-American Bombshell Ariana Angelos standing by for an interview with Pussy Willow.

Pussy: Ari, coming up next you are taking on Melissa for the last slot in the Bombshell Ultimate X Over the Pool Match at Summer XXXTreme where you'll potentially join Mercedes Vargas, Kayla Richards and off course, Kat Jones, what are your thoughts on this?

Ariana: I'm surprised that I ended up in a Roulette Contenders Match so soon but then I look at Melissa and she's an even loss likely contender than me! Going from her debut match against Chloe Benton to a match that has a huge opportunity in store for the winner? That's quite a leap!

Pussy: Do you think Melissa is ready for this?

Ariana: Honestly? No, look Chloe's a sweetheart and she's incredibly brave to for wanting to go against Masque after how her first match against Masque went but there's a world of difference between Chloe and me, I've been wrestling for three years, I've held titles, I graduated from the Go Gym, I'm not even sure if Chloe's graduated high school!

Pussy: She is only eighteen so it's possible, but do you think those facts give you a fighting chance against Melissa?

Ariana: I know it does, because I've seen what Melissa is capable of and I know what I need to do to beat her! And tonight, I'm booking my spot in the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match and making it sponsored by YouTube show Recipe 4 Disaster!

Pussy: Oh, speaking off! I recently subscribed to your channel!

Ariana: Oh sweet! Do you want to try a recipe?

Pussy shudders at that thought before looking around.

Pussy: I think Christian's calling me, back to you guys at ringside!

Pussy runs off as the scene fades.




Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a Bombshell's Roulette contender's match!

Love you to Death from Type O Negative: We hear a violin and a piano playing softly in the background before the dark voice of Pete Steele can be heard softly singing until he utters the Beast is Going to get ya yeah.... This causes flames to shoot out from the entrance ramp as Melissa walks out to the arena accompanied by her man Goth.

Justin: Coming down the ring accompanied by the Hall of Fame Legend Goth!! Standing in at 5'9 and weighing in at 130 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Lady Goth!! Melissa!!!!

The two walk to the ring, totally ignoring the crowd until they reach the middle of the ramp way. Melissa extends her arms as we Pete Steele sing Your wish is my command, causing Goth to take off her robe that she is wearing as that reveals her in ring wrestling gear. She walks towards the ring, slides underneath the bottom rope and stares at the crowd for a moment before turning her gaze towards Goth as we hear the chorus softly start to swing Let me Love you .... To death... as the two blow a romantic kiss towards each other. Melissa then stands up and walks over towards her corner to await her opponent.

Adams: It's the big debut for Melissa tonight.

Simone: Goth clearly has high hopes for his woman, and from at least looking at her, she has the appearance of someone who will be tough to handle.

The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd.

Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!

Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and removing her cloak ready for her match.

Adams: Ariana looking ready as ever tonight as well.

Simone: Well, this is to get in that big over the pool Roulette championship match, it's a massive opportunity.

DING DING DING!

Melissa and Ariana slowly circle and Melissa tries for a lock-up but Ariana ducks under and delivers a stiff kick to the left leg of Melissa. Melissa backs off and the two circle again. Again, Melissa tries for the lock-up, but again Ariana ducks, however when she goes for another kick, Melissa uses her kickboxing background to check the kick, and then she moves in and crowds Ariana with hard forearms. This sends Ariana back into the corner and Drew comes in and forces Melissa to back up. Melissa is undaunted and Ariana delivers another kick to the leg when Melissa comes in. Ariana then delivers a boot to the mid-section before boosting herself onto the middle turnbuckle, and attempting a cross-body, but Melissa catches her in mid-air and then slammed to the mat below.

Adams: And that is something Ariana has to avoid; she's not going to match power with Melissa.

Ariana clutches her back as she attempts to get back to her feet. Melissa quickly grabs Ariana's arm and drives down, looking for a Fujiwara armbar, but Ariana quickly scrambles to the ropes, and Drew steps in to force the break. Melissa again backs off and when she comes in again, Ariana greets her with a kick, then another, forcing Melissa to double over. Ariana then rams her face-first into the top turnbuckle and then quickly hits a big chop and then another. She tries to whip Melissa across the ring, but Melissa reverses. Ariana hits the corner hard and Melissa charges, but eats two boots for her troubles. Melissa turns around holding her jaw, and when she turns back to Ariana, she flies off the middle turnbuckle with a flying clothesline that takes Melissa down! Ariana makes the cover and Drew slides in to count!

ONE!

Melissa kicks out.

Adams: Ariana takes to the sky, but Melissa shows her toughness and kicks out!

Simone: This is pretty even to start.

Ariana quickly mounts Melissa, landing some hard punches before Drew tells her to keep her fist open. Ariana gets up and waits, and as Melissa stands up, Ariana hits a nice standing dropkick and Melissa goes down again. And again, Ariana dives into the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Melissa kicks out again.

Adams: Ariana is really putting the pressure on.

Ariana shows a little sign of frustration, but she gets back as Melissa uses the ropes to stand. Ariana is now the agressor and moves in, but Melissa throws a sharp elbow that catches Ariana, sending her stumbling and turning back from Melissa, who quickly grabs Ariana, and attempts a Russian leg sweep, but Ariana elbows her way out in return. Ariana hits another kick boot and tries for a suplex, but Melissa lands goes up and over Ariana, landing behind her and hitting the Russian leg sweep she wants earlier! Melissa floats into a pin of her own!

ONE!

TWO!

Ariana rolls the shoulder.

Adams: Melissa is hanging with Ariana step for step here.

Simone: Training under someone like Goth, no doubt she is prepared.

Melissa is back on her feet now, and as Ariana slowly gets back to her feet, a loud chop echoes off her chest from Melissa. This drives Ariana back into the corner and Melissa comes in with a few knee strikes to the mid-section of Ariana, causing her to slump down in the corner. Melissa isn't shy with a few stomps before backing up, and trying to do some kind of running attack, but Ariana is out of the way. Ariana stands up and Melissa charges again, but Ariana brings up the boots again. Melissa seems upset and charges a third time and Ariana moves out of the way! Melissa collides with the corner and turns right into a DDT from Ariana! Ariana quickly makes another cover!

ONE!

TWO!

Melissa kicks out again.

Adams: And Melissa is still in this!

Simone: And you can see Ariana is a little flustered by it.

Ariana curses under her breath in frustration as she stands up, and picks up Melissa's left leg and deliveres a few kicks to it, followed by driving an elbow right at the joint. Melissa quickly grasps the ropes as Drew forces Ariana to break. Melissa uses the ropes to get back to her feet, and Ariana tries again for a suplex, but Melissa blocks using her foot. Ariana tries again, same result. Melissa then turns the tables and lifts Ariana high into the air and stalls for a few seconds, impressively holding Ariana in suplex position before falling back and completing the suplex. Melissa stands up, motioning for Ariana to get up. Melissa crouches down, getting into position as Ariana stand up.

Adams: Shade Of Black!

Simone: Missed!

Ariana ducks out of the way of the impressive looking kick, and hits the ropes, springboarding back into a moonsault and landing on Melissa! Ariana pumps her fists and readies herself and when Melissa stands up, Ariana charges and deliveres a spear! Ariana points to the sky and then drags Melissa into positon. She then steps outside and begins climbing.

Adams: It's could be the Angel's Decent!

Ariana flies off, twisting through the air!

Simone: She missed!

Ariana crashes and burns as Melissa rolls out of the way. Ariana clutches her stomach and torso and get to her feet and Melissa nearly takes her head off with a discus clothesline! Melissa again readies herself as a woozy Ariana stumbles up...

Adams: Shade of Black!

This time it connects and Melissa makes the cover as Drew slides in to count!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner.... Melissa!

Adams: And Melissa pulls out the victory in this very physical match-up!

Simone: Not too bad for your first match, got the first win out of the way!

Melissa stands up, shaking out her leg that was attack during the match, but a grin crosses her face as Drew raises her hand in victory before he checks on Ariana as Melissa departs.




BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
Ultimate X Over the Pool

Kat Jones © v Mercedes Vargas v Kayla Richards v Melissa




Justin: Ladies and gentlemen this next match is a Singles Match Standard Rules with winner by pinfall, submission, or count out. First to make his way to the ring, he hails from Las Vegas, Nevada, and he stands in at five feet eight inches and one hundred ninety two pounds, please give a great Tucson, Arizona welcome to HITAMASHII!!!

The opening riffs of Fire In Our House by Astral Doors hits the speakers and Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii" Shirasu comes out of the backstage area and stops on the landing just short of the ramp to the ring. He has a smug look on his face as the crowd gives him boos. Hitamashii walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step. He looks around the crowd before he starts down the ramp and slowly walks toward the ring. He stops half way down the ramp where he turns his head with his nose in the air to stir up the crowd. The looks he gets from the crowd shows they don't like they way he is looking down upon them. Hitamashii lowers his head slowly, then turns to face the ring, and he walks down to ringside toward the ring apron. He then climbs up to the apron and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him. After walking around the ring he leans back in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.

Justin: Next to make is way to the ring, he hails from Canterbury, England, and he stands in at six feet one inch and two hundred twenty-five pounds, please give a great Tucson, Arizona welcome to MARK "THE DRAGON" CROSS!!!

The lights in the arena dim as the bassline to "Blood" begins to rumble throughout the arena. As the guitar riff hits, so does the lights, revealing Mark "The Dragon" Cross standing, one fist aloft, on the landing at the top of the landing. Receiving recognition from the crowd, he strides purposefully to ringside, taking a moment to survey the scene as he reaches the apron. Mark then steps through the ropes and maneuvers to a corner on the opposite side of the ring from Hitamashii.

Adams: If recent performance is an indicator I would say Mark Cross is going to have an easy match against Hitamashii.

Simone: You say stuff like that every event and you are wrong the majority of the time. Hitamashii is a proven performer and that will be presented in this match.

Adams: We will see.

Simone: Yes we will.

Referee Dawn Barnes calls Hitamashii and Mark to join her in the center of the ring. She goes over the fact this is a Standard Rules match and she will not tolerate violations of the rules and she will not hesitate to issue a Disqualification if they continue to violate the rules. Referee Barnes checks both wrestlers to ensure they are free of foreign objects or substances on their bodies and when she is satisfied both are clean she tells them to return to their corners and come out fighting when they hear the bell from the Timekeeper. As soon as Mark and Hitamashii are set in their corners Referee Dawn Barnes motions to the Timekeeper and they ring the bell.

DING DING DING!

This match is officially underway and the first move is from Hitamashii as he flies out of the corner toward Mark Cross. As Hitamashii leaps into the air Mark realizes a kick is coming and he ducks to the side but not quick enough to miss getting a kick to the head. Mark staggers out of the corner and then falls and lands on the mat. Hitamashii walks over and grabs Mark by the head and he is pulling him up to stand him up to continue his assault. On the way up Cross lands several hard punches to the midsection of Hitamashii but Hitamashii does not release his hold on the head of Mark. Hitamashii starts turning the head of Cross left and right but before he can execute a maneuver on Mark he is hit with more punches to the midsection and then Cross drops to the mat and flips Hitamashii over his head using his feet to flip him and Hitamashii loses his grip on Mark.

Adams: Just when it looked like Hitamashii might get the upper hand Mark got the better of him. This sets the tone for this match.

Simone: One little stroke of luck doesn't mean a success for Mark and a failure for Hitamashii. You saw Hitamashii take an early advantage and I feel Mark Cross got lucky in that last exchange.

Hitamashii is a wrestler who rarely stays down and that's the case this time as Hitamashii quickly gets back to his feet and goes after Mark Cross. As Mark backs up he finds himself backed into a corner of the ring. Hitamashii lays several forearm smashes to Cross and Mark manages to block a few of them. Mark's arm is through the ropes and he makes a major point to the Referee that she should call for a break since he is through the ropes. Referee Barnes steps in and tells Hitamashii he needs to back off and allow Mark Cross time to come out of the ropes. Hitamashii stops landing blows on Cross and then he takes a few steps back. The instant Mark removes himself from the ropes Hitamashii leaps into the corner and starts laying blows on Cross again. Mark grabs Hitamashii and steps out of the corner dropping Hitamashii hard into his leg in a reverse Atomic Drop. Hitamashii falls off the leg of Mark and rolls around on the mat clutching his groin while moaning loudly and complaining to Referee Barnes that it was an illegal low blow. Cross rolls Hitamashii on his back and goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

Hitamashii gets a shoulder up to break the count at two and Referee Barnes holds up two fingers to indicate it was only a two count. Hitamashii continues to complain to Referee Barnes about the low blow on the reverse Atomic Drop. He also complains that she should not have made that pin count on him since it was due to the low blow Mark Cross hit him with. Referee Barnes informs Hitamashii that she didn't classify it as a deliberate attempt on the part of Mark Cross to low blow him. Hitamashii is frustrated at the Referee but he has to accept that decision.

Adams: Mark Cross didn't deliberately low blow Hitamashii with that reverse Atomic Drop. That happens with a lot of moves and maneuvers in the sport of wrestling.

Simone: I say it was deliberate on the part of Mark Cross but my decision on what happened doesn't change the decision Referee Dawn Barnes made.

The look on the face of Hitamashii lets us know he is upset at the low blow and the Referee's decision on the incident. Mark Cross also realizes that the anger Hitamashii has is directed at him. Mark backs up as Hitamashii struts toward him. When Cross backs into the corner he realizes he needs to get out of the corner before Hitamashii reaches him. When Mark tries to maneuver out of the corner Hitamashii blocks him from getting out of the corner. Cross tries the other direction and that also gets blocked by Hitamashii. Mark shoves Hitamashii in the chest with both hands and although that moves Hitamashii back a short distance it isn't far enough for Cross to get out of the corner. When Hitamashii takes a step toward the corner Mark Cross lashes out with an attempted kick on Hitamashii but Hitamashii grabs the foot of Mark and twists the ankle to where Mark is yelling out from the pain. Referee Dawn Barnes steps in to ask Mark Cross if he wishes to submit and he tells her no so she allows the match continues.

Simone: Looks like Mark Cross is in a lose-lose situation. What do you have to say about that?

Adams: Like Yogi Berra used to say. . .IT AIN'T OVER 'TILL IT'S OVER.

Simone: Trust me. It's over for Mark Cross.

Hitamashii boldly attacks Mark Cross with a stomp to his already sore ankle and we can tell Cross is hurting more than before. Hitamashii then kicks the legs out from under Mark then he applies a Figure Four Leg Lock and when he locks it in Mark's sore ankle is on top of his other leg causing pressure on the already sore ankle. Mark Cross is yelling out from the pain and he realizes he is too far from the ropes to get a break. When Referee Dawn Barnes steps in to ask Mark Cross if he wishes to submit this time he says YES as he taps the mat with his hand. Referee Barnes stands up and motions for the Timekeeper to ring the bell to end the match.

DING DING DING!

Referee Barnes orders Hitamashii to release the hold and he does. He gets to his feet and stands next to Referee Dawn Barnes.

Simone: I told you this match was over in favor of Hitamashii.

Adams: Grrr. . .

Justin: Here is the official decision on this match. The winner of this match, by submission, HITAMASHII!!!

Referee Barnes raises the hand of Hitamashii for the win. After she releases his hand Hitamashii gets out of the ring and quickly heads for the backstage area. Although the crowd gives him a mostly negative reaction he has a smile on his face as he returns into the backstage area. When our attention is returned to the ring we see Mark Cross on his feet and we can tell by the way he is walking that his ankle is still hurting. He exits the ring and slowly makes his way toward the backstage area with the majority of the fans cheering him on.




CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP v INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP

Roxi Johnson © v Masque ©




Justin: The following contest is for one fall. Introducing first....

"Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat.

Justin: From Manchester, England, weighing in at two hundred and fifteen pounds, he is Miles Kasey!

He bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand springboarding backwards into a superhero pose as the fans go crazy!

Justin: And his opponent...

The lights in the arena go down and the sounds of organs fill the arena. After few moments, the first guitar rifts of Deep Purple's "Bad Attitude" fill the arena and the house lights come up and "Godly" Ken Davison stands at the top of the entrance ramp with his arms extended. The arena fills with boos, but Davison soaks them in as though they were the adulation of the masses and he was a returning war hero.

Justin: From Baltimore, Maryland, weighing in at two hundred and nineteen pounds, he is Godly Ken Davison!

Davison marches down to thing right with a sense of self righteous pomposity. He ignores the crowd, taking the most direct path to the ring steps, pausing to wipe his boots before getting in the ring. He stands in the center of the ring with his arms extended as the music cuts out.

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang as Ken Davison and Milo Kasey circle each other in the middle of the ring. The two lock arms and Ken locks Milo in a standing side headlock on Milo as Milo pushes him in the ropes for an Irish Whip. There Ken comes off the ropes, dropping Milo with a shoulder block as the veteran uses his experience to use the momentum of Milo against him. Milo quickly rolls out of the ring and prepares himself for a breather before rolling back in the ring. There Ken is awaiting Milo and smiles at him as he knows that he has a mental advantage on his opponent.

Adams: Milo needs to use his speed, because we all know how Ken is going to ground you if he gets the chance.

Simone: Indeed Jason, but we all know how quick Milo can hit that extra gear.

Milo gets up to his feet and circles Ken Davison, who extends his hand for a test of strength. Milo grabs it and there we see that Ken locks Milo in a Hammerlock, only to have Milo to reverse it and pushing Ken into the ropes. There he uses the momentum in his advantage to get Ken in a pinning predicament with a rollup.

ONE!

TWO!

Ken kicks Milo off of him, causing the younger wrestler to jump on the ropes and comes off the ropes with a Springboard Forearm smash that sends Ken into the corner behind him. Milo quickly gets to his feet and charges in on Ken with a running knee into the face of the former Internet champion. There he drags Ken to the middle of the ring before going for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Again Ken kicks out as Milo immediately charges to the ropes and sets himself up for a Springboard Moonsault on Davison. Who has got the move scouted as he lifts his legs up as Milo comes crashing hard with his ribs on the legs of the member of the Saviors.

Simone: That was a tough break for Milo.

Adams: Indeed, but then again Ken had that well scouted!!

Ken rolls Milo up to his side, grabs his arms with one hand and the top leg with his other as he sets his shin against the lower back of Milo and pulls hard on him. Forcing Jacob to ask win to the submission hold, but refuses. Ken lets go off the leg and drives elbows into the ribs of Milo before locking him up back into he same submission hold by wrapping his hand around the ankle of the top leg of Milo.

Simone: Those elbow shots were well delivered into the ribs of Milo

Adams: Indeed Belinda, plus there's not much muscle or fat to protect those ribs.

Milo once again refuses to give in, as we see Ken roll over to his back while dragging Milo in the air and keeping his shoulders off the canvas for a surfboard submission hold.

Simone: Good God!! That really is going to hurt even more!!

Milo is moving his arms and legs, trying to somehow break free from the grip of Ken Davison and ultimately succeeds. Ken gets up first, setting Milo up for a clothesline as the younger wrestler turns around but ducks the clothesline. Ken turns around, walks straight into a spinning kick to the midsection before Milo follows it up with a spinning Neck breaker. But he remains sitting in the middle of the ring, clutching on to his ribs as he is unable to cover Ken right away before finally doing so. Hooking just one leg as his other arm is holding on to the ribs

ONE!

TWO!

But Ken manages to kick out, Milo sits up and grabs the head of Ken as he slowly lifts him up to his feet. There he sets him up for a Snap suplex, sitting up right away after hitting the move but once more his face is showing the fact that he is feeling just as much pain as Ken because of his injured ribs. Ken slowly gets up and grabs Ken's head, setting him up for a slam as he lifts him up slowly and drops Ken before going for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THR...

Ken manages to kick out as he rolls on his stomach as Milo is sitting upwards while holding on to his ribs

Simone: That was smart from Ken, because Milo cannot pin him if he is not on his back with his shoulders touching the canvas.

Milo grabs the head of Ken, setting him up for another slam. But this time Ken is prepared, managing to escape the grip and lands behind Milo. There he grabs him by the head and drops him with a reverse neck breaker before going for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

Milo kicks out, giving Ken an opening to drive a few elbows into the ribs as Ken has pulled the right arm away from protecting his ribs. Screaming in agonizing pain as gets behind him and grabs Milo by the chin and drives his knee in the back of Milo's neck.

Adams: Every time that Milo thinks he can make a comeback and hits some moves its Ken Davison that gets him back in a wrestling hold.

Milo extends his arms in the air, trying to feed off the reactions of the fans as he slowly tries to break free from the grip that Ken has on him. Attempting to pry the fingers off of his chin and ultimately succeeds. Pulling the hands far away as he slowly gets to his feet and turns around andhits a dropkick to the back of Ken who has his back turned to him because of the turnaround a few moments ago.

Simone: This is your chance Milo!!

Ken's body and face come in contact with the turnbuckles after receiving the dropkick. Milo gets to his feet, grabbing the head of Ken and bashes it into the turnbuckles ten times while Jacob is starting to warn Milo as the fans count along to ten.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

NINE!

TEN!

Milo lets go off the head of Ken, who staggers backwards and gets dropped by a Milo clothesline. Milo takes a few deep breaths before going for another cover

ONE!

TWO!

But Ken manages to get his shoulder off the canvas at the count of two, Milo clearly has difficulties breathing as he takes a few more deep breaths and walks over to the corner, measuring Ken Davison who slowly gets to his feet. Milo charges in on Ken from behind, jumping upwards as the back of Ken is still turned to him. There in midair he grabs the head of Ken Davison and drops him hard with a modified Bulldog Headlock. He manages to roll Ken over slowly and goes for the cover

ONE!

TWO!

THR...

And again Ken manages to get his shoulder off the canvas at the final moment.

Adams: I think the ribs are Hurting Milo too much, he is unable to get a quick cover or follow up on his move with another quick move.

Milo pulls Ken up to his feet, preparing him for a kick to the head but Ken blocks it. Catching the leg and then kicking the other leg underneath Milo's body. This causes Milo to fall down on his back as Ken Davison locks him in a deep single Leg Boston Crab submission hold. Sitting deep onto the lower back of Milo, who is screaming in agonizing pain. Trying to claw over towards the ropes to secure Jacob to break the painful submission hold. Only to have Ken to pull him back to the middle of the ring when Milo is merely inches away from grabbing the bottom rope. Causing him to scream in agonizing pain, holding on to his head and screaming no in an angry and painful scream to the questions of Jacob Summers.

Adams: I wonder how long Milo can keep this up???

Simone: I agree Jason, it almost seems like he is slowly fading!!!

The closed fists are slowly opening as Milo is starting to resist lesser and lesser to the painfulk hold until the hands fall on the canvas. Jacob checks in on Milo to see if he is still conscious before giving a signal to the time keeper to ring the bell.

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match by submission!! "Godly" Ken Davison!!!

Ken lets go off the hold, accepting his hand to be raised by Jacob Summers before sliding out of the ring and heading to the back.




ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
Ultimate X Over the Pool

Finn Whelan © v Miles "Milo" Kasey v Alexander Raven v "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart




We are at ringside when suddenly Vinnie's music hits and the man that has been trying to make things better between him and the Baltasarsson brothers walks out to the ring with a determined look on his face.

Simone: So...., Vinnie wanted to talk to Aron Baltharsson. Will we get that "talk"?

Adams: Well Aron did offer it to Vinnie, but I am not so sure whether he wanted it to happen during a live televised show.

Vinnie rolls in the ring, immediately asks for a microphone from Justin Decent and motions for the sound crew to cut his music after receiving the microphone.

Vinnie: I am normally out here, trying to put smiles upon you peoples faces. Entertain you with some funny sketches with Pete in the hope of sending you people back home smiling.

There's some Pete chants, but most of the people boo Vinnie for what happened between him and Fenris a while ago.

Vinnie: And I totally understand your disappointment that at this moment I am not fulfilling that long awaited routine. But right now?? I don't give a s### what you people expect of me.

The boos quickly grow louder as Vinnie is pacing around the ringside area.

Vinnie: How often do I need to tell the world that I am sorry for what happened to Fenris?? How many times do I seemingly have to get down upon my hands and knees.!!!

He drops to his knees and stares at the camera and continues

Vinnie: To let you all know that I wasn't aware of the actual cologne to be inside the bottle when Bea handed me the damn thing!!!

A clip is aired from the moment that Bea placed the bottle of cologne on the ring apron and where Vinnie grabbed it and blinded Fenris before beating him.

Vinnie: And just to clarify to you all fine people of this forsaken town of Tucson, I am only interested in making up with Kristjansson and his brother, not caring what some idiot in the basement of his grandparents think of me!!!!

Crowd: YOU SUCK!! YOU SUCK!!! YOU SUCK!!!

Vinnie: You see, when friends have a fight over an understanding.. what do they do?? They try to talk things out and move on.

Simone: Since when is Vinnie so close friends with Kris and Aron???

Adams: Well there have been stranger things happening Belinda, but to be honest?? I don't know.

Vinnie: And yet, every time I try to reach out... they either ignore me, belittle me... or just plain out telling the world that I am a liar!! Well if there's anything that I am not?? That is a liar!!!

Crowd: Boo!!!!!

Vinnie: I had offered to use my earnings to help his treatment, I offered them to fly them over here on my personal private jet.... And what happened?? They declined... Or should I say Aron declined for Kris, because the Icelandic warrior is apparently too good for even sharing a damn word with me!!! Apparently they have spare time to talk or have some stupid fun with everyone except for me!!! Flat out denying my offer, because they probably love to feel the wind through their hair.... And by that moment I was about ready to just throw in the towel, not to be bothered by people that obviously do not care about my fucking feelings!! I felt bad for Fenris, he was this close to be part of MY FAMILY!!!! But no.... he prefers to hate me, he never believed in me and never trusted me!! But this isn't about me this time, it's about the ungrateful brothers...

Crowd: ASSHOLE!! ASSHOLE!!!

Vinnie: Asshole?? Who is the asshole to leave someone else hanging high and dry?? Who is the asshole to flat out deny a peace offering... Only to suddenly show me grace and ask me if I wanted to talk to Aron...

He stares into the camera with a pu

led look

Vinnie: A talk?? Really???

Simone: Isn't that nice Vinnie?? He didn't had to do it.... But he did!! Stop being so ungrateful!!!

Vinnie turns his attention to Belinda

Vinnie: Ungrateful Belinda?? Really?? Did I heard you correctly? That's okay though, I guess after how long of pleading, asking, calling, sending DM's!! Hell I even send a pigeon to them with a letter attached to its leg.... The next desperation attempt would have been smoke signals or perhaps the Bat Signal. But I was graced by the mere attention of Aron, so I decided to bet he better man and accept his invite... So without further delay... Aron Baltharsson!!!

"Alga" by Ignea begins to play across the building and the crowd turns with anticipation towards the entrance as Aron walks out from behind the curtains. Aron looks out and about the building with a smile on his face. Aron then directs his attention toward the ring and his face takes on a more somber note as he slowly starts to descend the rampway and toward the ringside area. Aron good naturedly slaps the hands that extend toward him. He climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron, turning towards the fans and finally steps through and enters the ring. Aron then simply stares at Vinnie briefly before he cautiously walks over toward the corner and beckons the time keeper for a microphone of his own. He is passed one and he then backs up to stand across from Vinnie. An uncomfortable moment of silence passes between the two men before Aron raises the microphone to speak.

Aron: You know, I thought when I agreed to come out here to talk that we were going to conduct ourselves in a calm, rational manner but it would seem as if I were mistaken. I stood back there, waiting to come out and I was listening to you and it seems as if you are just determined to be angry, when in reality Vinnie, you have no reason or right to be angry.

Aron takes a step forward to lean in to emphasize his words.

Aron: You are not the victim here, Vinnie. My brother is, so let me clear up one or two things. First off? I never called you a liar. Not. Once. I called your friend and manager, Bea Barnhart, a liar. I called her a liar for claiming she diluted whatever the hell that was that got sprayed in my brother's eyes! I called her a liar for trying to play down the video evidence that millions saw with their own two eyes and insinuate that Kristjan - Fenris - was laying about his injury! All to save her own skin. But of course, this IS the same woman that would week in and week out, warn everyone about trying anything funny in her husband's matches when she's the one who would routinely bend a rule to help ensure Bill or yourself walk away with a win. Which if you think about it...

He looks upward as if contemplating his words.

Aron: Would make her a hypocrite as much as it did a liar. And yes ... by proxy of defending his wife, I said Bulldog was lying as well. But not you. Do you understand that, Vinnie? But do not for a second think that makes you innocent in this little drama of ours! You DID spray that stuff in Kristjan's eyes, whether you knew it was contaminated or not. I mean – why?

He holds an arm out in wonder and shakes his head.

Aron: You and my brother had some classic matches in the past! Were you THAT desperate to get a win over him that you would resort to trickery? Even if it was just water like you said, you didn't NEED it! It was STILL bending the rules! It was STILL beneath you to have to do something like that! I thought the days of you hitting men in the head with a cactus were behind you but maybe I was mistaken!

He then holds up two fingers.

Aron: Second of all, Kristjan - Fenris - was never ignoring you. In case you haven't noticed, he hasn't been on social media AT ALL since his injury because HE COULDN'T SEE THE GODDAMN KEYBOARD WELL ENOUGH TO TYPE!!!

Aron, very uncharacteristically, shouts into the microphone, surprising many into silence!

Aron: Do you get that, Vinnie!? Kristjan lost over eighty percent of his vision and it could have been permanent but by the grace of God, it's slowly healing! Emphasis on 'slowly'! It's been weeks! WEEKS! The man who dominated SCW with one of the best win-loss records and had people pissing themselves over the thought of stepping into the ring against has been stumbling around our home with his eyes covered by bandages and sunglasses and can't go anywhere without someone accompanying him for his own safety! Yet here you stand, complaining that he is ignoring you! That's like someone throwing a fit over their lover not responding to a text when they know their partner is at work or in school and can't! I mean - Christ!

Aron shakes his head as he paces back and forth before stopping.

Aron: And as for your offers ... believe it or not Vinnie, they were appreciated, but the fact was that they were unnecessary. If you knew my brother at all, you would have known he'd outright refuse anyone paying his way over anything! He wouldn't let me accept your offer to pay his medical bills because he does not accept charity of any kind, and kind as your offer was, that is what it was; a charity. Plus, the simple fact is he has medical insurance still from back in his MMA days. Much as he hates it, he's being taken care of. By friends. By family. So turning your offer down was not intended as a snub or an insult. It was appreciated, it just wasn't needed. And, as for your offer to fly us here to Tucson?

Aron actually smiles, albeit briefly.

Aron: Vinnie. Come on. I know that offer came from the heart, but my answer to it was genuine. It would have caused you more trouble than necessary. It's only four hundred miles between Las Vegas and Tucson. The flight alone would have been just over an hour. It just seemed like it would have been a waste of your time. So we drove like Kristjan wanted. It was just a six hour road trip between brothers to relax and enjoy one anothers' company. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Vinnie stares a few moments at Aron, not answering the statements that Aron had told him, he slowly lifts the microphone towards his mouth, but decides to remain quiet. Soaking in the tension between him and the brother of the man he had often called his ultimate opponent and then drops the microphone for a moment. He runs his other hand through his hair as he is scowling at Aron before putting the microphone back to his mouth.

Vinnie: Do I understand?? OH yeah I understand alright!!! You see Aron, when I joined this company, I was an arrogant son of a bitch. I admit that, I had the swagger of being the very best and had no issues of doing whatever it took to get the job done!! And that angered some people didn't it?? It angered Kris for sure!! Because he had hoped to face the man he loved so much that he was pissed off that I used something that was legal in tha beat the kid that for a short time became my nephew.

Vinnie bites his lower lip, not wanting to explode as he takes deep breaths...

Vinnie: You talk about the classic battles, I admit that they were classic. But you know something, Aron?? It wasn't desperation that made me do it.. No matter whether it was water or not...It was something deeper than that.

Suddenly we see tears emerge around the eyes of Vinnie, who is shaking his head.

Vinnie: Remember how proud I was to have won the right to challenge the champion at any point of my choosing?? That I wanted to face your brother, because I knew I could beat him. I wanted to face HIM at the cruise ship years ago, the same day that I would be married to Lora.... To prove to the world that I belonged in this company, that I belonged alongside HIM and be a friend.... And sadly, he lost to Austin James Mercer and didn't want to get a rematch against him. Causing my dream to be shattered, because I wanted to stare him in the eyes.... forgive me the usage of the word to make my point... And I had to settle with Austin James Mercer... A man that i also respect, but it wasn't the man that I wanted to face.

He turns his attention to the crowd for a moment before turning his attention back to Aron.

Vinnie: I had hoped that time would heal all wounds between us, but it didn't go as I had hoped for... I was told that I was a disgrace as a champion, while I defended it with pride. And even HE!!!

He screams in agony

Vinnie: Did the same thing when I needed his approval, to be ackowledged as a great champion. So that I knew that I had done something right!!!!

The tears are continuing to flow, causing Aron to suddenly see a different side to Vinnie that he had not expected.

Vinnie: And then everything shattered, my marriage ended... Something that Kris was against along with the nephew that didn't accept me and Lora... I lost the title where everyone had told the world that they would have been a happy camper if ANYONE walked away as champion as long as it wasn't me.

Vinnie shakes his head

Vinnie: I am not telling you that he is to be blamed for me having had a terrible two year span of being a failure... because it was ME. But I had nobody, nobody that stood alongside me while during that time I had vowed to have never do the things that people had accused me of doing. And then the Barnharts came along, the only ones that finally gave a damn about me. People that were there for me when I had painful memories that haunted me for months!! Where were the others when I needed them?? Telling me that I was a freak, that I didn't belong to Aron... So how must I have felt about anyone else besides them?? How could I not believe the ones that has helped me for so long.

He holds a hand upwards as Aron wants to respond, telling him that he isn't done

Vinnie: So when that moment came that I held that cologne bottle in my hands, I indeed made a decision. A decision that was forced to me by those who loved me, those who had supported me to return to the man that I have become. And it felt so good to get all the frustrations out in one certain moment. Because I felt that my moment was taken away from me... And I had to get it back Aron.... But when I heard what had happened, I felt shame, I felt pain and misery. And All that I could do was to do anything that I could to make it up. But to get no responses hurt me, to have you tell me that you appreciated every offer but refuse it to me without explaining.... that hurt me even more. And the whole victim thing?? I never wanted to make you think I was a victim, because I acknowledged what I did... But never the chance to explain why. And that hurt me even more..., But I am sure that no matter what I say, I doubt you even care. So thank you for this opportunity, even though I wonder whether I deserve it or not.

This time, however, it is Aron's turn to be seemingly speechless, staring at Vinnie in a slight sense of wonder. He brings the microphone to his lips and starts to speak, but finds himself simply shaking his head in either negativity or disbelief. Until a moment later when he finally finds the words.

Aron: Wow. It's like watching the Amber Heard trial all over again.

Crowd: Ooo!

The crowd reacts in a sense of surprise and shock at the subtle dig the normally docile and pacifist Aron just took at Vinnie's expense.

Aron: The way you make excuses for any wrongs that you've done in an attempt to play the victim card and make yourself seem innocent. You had a rough two years? You!?

Aron leans in.

Aron: Newsflash! You're not the only one who's had a rough time of it! Everyone has, but not everyone is using their trials and tribulations as a means to an end! They don't do wrong to others - or shouldn't - just to turn around and make excuses by saying they've had it rough lately so you should cut them some slack and look the other way!

But just as easily as Aron built up a head of steam, he just as quickly regained his composure. Perhaps being more like his brother than he'd admit. He closed his eyes and exhaled through pursed lips, then opened his eyes to again address Vinnie.

Aron: I know things have been rough for you. I know fate pretty much kicked you in the teeth. And believe it or not? You do have my heart felt sympathy. Lora was a lovely woman, even Kristjan adored her and that's saying something! And yes. He was very suspicious and distrusting of you when you and she got together because of your own actions. But what you're not acknowledging? Is the simple fact that slowly my brother accepted you. He stopped harassing you and talking trash because he could see how happy you made Lora. And believe it or not? He and I both were very surprised and disappointed that things did not last between the two of you. But see here's the thing. While things did not last between you and Lora? They also did not last between my brother and your former nephew.

Aron cocked his head to the right to give Vinnie a sidelong glance.

Aron: And do I even have to bring up the fact that somebody very close to my brother's heart died recently? So no, Vinnie. You're not the only one who's had it rough all this time. Personally or professionally. And as far as whether or not you were deserving a forgiveness or this talk between us? I wouldn't be out here if I didn't believe it to be so! But it's not my place to say whether or not you deserve forgiveness. It's his!

Aron points out towards the ringside area and the crowd immediately ignites with enthusiastic and wild cheers and applause at who they see sitting in front row!

Adams: Oh my god! It's Fenris!

Simone: Fenris is here in Tucson!

Vinnie's tearing eyes are now locked upon the man that is at ringside, realizing that Fenris has been here all along and he had not noticed him. He turns his attention back towards Aron, not believing what is going on as we can see him ask Aron if this was for real?? Causing Aron to nod his head and Vinnie turns his attention back to Fenris. He stares at him for a few moments before putting his microphone to his mouth.

Vinnie: I know my words were sounding like excuses to all of you and I realize how much people have been hurting the last few years. It was just that I needed it to get it off my chest Senor Aron..., but now that I am this close to your brother.... there is something that I wanted to tell him personally.... Will you help me??

he turns his attention back to Aron as we see Fenris his brother nod his head as the two walk over towards the ropes and step through them. Vinnie's eyes are never leaving the figure that he had respected, hated, feared and loved for all these years there. The two get in front of the face of Fenris as Vinnie stares at him for seemingly minutes.

Vinnie: Kris??

There is no reaction from the man that he had faced several times in his career as Vinnie's eyes are starting to well up once more.

Vinnie: Can.... you..... forgive me??

He stares at Fenris, with hope upon his face. And Fenris? He stares right back at Vinnie, his eyes hidden behind a pair of metallic blue shades. His face remains stone cold, his lips set in a grim line. Slowly, silently, Fenris extends his hand toward his brother and Aron reacts, knowing what it was that he wanted. Fenris was a man of few words. He always hated being on the microphone, preferring his actions inside of the ring or MMA cage do his talking for him. But sometimes words were a necessity, even if he made them somewhat short and bittersweet. Aron places the house mic he was using in the palm of Fenris's hand and without breaking eye contact, Fenris speaks for the first time since his injury.

Fenris: I will be honest. From the moment I was cleared to come here tonight, the onl;y thought going through my mind was if I could only see you proper, to beat the ever loving (beep) right out of you!

The crowd cheers!

Fenris: You stole weeks - maybe months - off of my life!I am not a man to admit fear because I never feel it, but when I opened my eyes and couldn't see, I was afraid! When my first diagnosis told me that my eyes might not ever be the same, I was terrified, Vinnie. TERRIFIED!!! My life, my career, as far as I was concerned, was over! Everything I worked so hard for all these years - thrown away! Everything I wanted to do in the future? Gone!

He shakes his head.

Fenris: But my eyes ARE recovering - slowly. Am I angry? Yes. Am I pissed off at you?

He again nods.

Fenris: Who the hell WOULDN'T be!? Will I forgive you? That ... that I can not answer right now.

Vinnie looks down but Fenris's words lend a bit of comfort - and hope.

Fenris: But never say never. A new friend I met recently convinced me there are people out there, herself included, who have it a hell of a lot worse than I do. So while you caused this, you also owned up to it. You apologized. You tried to make amends. Whereas that lying BITCH manager of yours...!

The crowd cheers!

Adams: Whoa! He just called the wife of "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart a lying bitch!

Simone: If the shoe fits and so on and so forth.

Fenris: ... Has done everything BUT admit to what she did! Trying to undo history! trying to offer fake ass evidence when the whole goddamn world saw what happened! Where she, and that husband of hers, tried to tell everyone I was faking it! Well tell me something, Vinnie!

Fenris suddenly reaches up and rips the shades off of his face, and for the first time, the world sees the damage inflicted on him by the cologne sprayed in his eyes; the traces of chemical burns around his eyes. The scarred tissue. The fact that while still in the process of healing, his blue eyes had the slight resemblance to marbles.

Simone: Jesus....

Fenris: Does this LOOK like I am (beep)ing faking!?

Vinnie looks at him with a look of utter shock, not able to utter anything out of his mouth as the entire arena is looking at him and Fenris.

Vinnie: I....

Vinnie is staggering backwards, not keeping his eyes off of Fenris as he nearly falls over the steel ring steps, but manages to hold on to the ring apron while staring at Fenris before turning around and walks off

Simone: It almost looked like as if Vinnie saw a ghost!!!




Simone: Fans, it is almost time for the Main Event of the evening. And in mere moments we are going to witness the rematch that the world has been clamoring to see; Matthew Knox defending the World Heavyweight Championship against the man he defeated for the title -- Mac Bane!

Adams: But now it's about a lot more than just the championship! Matthew Knox actually stood there and watched Masque put his "friend" Amber Ryan on the shelf with one of the worst attacks we've EVER seen here in SCW!

Simone: And to compound matters, the champion's "friend" also happens to be Mac Bane's wife! So now as if the heat between these men wasn't hot enough, things just got even more personal and Mac Bane is out for blood! Be damned the championship!

The camera then cuts to the ringside area where senior referee, Jasmine St. John, enters the six-sided ring and takes her place to the immediate right of Justin Decent.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Main Event of the evening! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!

The crowd here in Tucson cheers enthusiastically!

Justin: Introducing first...!

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.

Justin: Accompanied to the ring by 'Chronic' Chris Page! From Port Arthur, Texas, weighing two hundred and eighty pounds! He is the challenger! Mac! BANE!!!

Finally they reach the ring steps and make their way into the ring.

Mac approaches the center 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.

Simone: Look at the expression on the face of the challenger! I can't even begin to imagine the atrocities that Mac Bane wants to commit against Matthew Knox for his role in the attack on Amber Ryan!

Adams: I can but if we say it on-air, that would make it premeditated!

Justin: And his opponent...!

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...

Justin: From Baltimore, Maryland by way of Monterey, California! Weighing...!

Simone: Hold on!

Adams: Look out!

Before Matthew Knox can reach ringside, Mac Bane rolls out of the ring! The big man darts around the ringside area and meets the champion at the front of the entrance stage! Knox sees him coming and the two rivals collide in a tangle of flesh and bone, swinging bone jarring blows into each others' heads and faces!

Simone: Mac Bane isn't even willing to wait for this match to start! He wants Matthew Knox and he wants the man NOW!

Adams: Well can you BLAME him!? Knox all but stabbed Mac's wife in the back and caused her to be laid up in the hospital with a crushed larynx! She may NEVER fully recover!

That same implication courses through Bane's mind as he uses his weight to bull Knox off of the end of the stage and pulverizes his back hard against the barricade! Mac just waylays on Knox with clubbing, over handed blows raining down onto the back of his head, neck and the Raven's own wide back! Jasmine has to exit the ring and she rushes over to where this insane fight has erupted prematurely and she orders Bane to stop and get it inside of the ring where it belongs!

Adams: I don't think Bane can hear Jasmine! He is so blinded by Knox's role in his wife's potential career threatening injury!

Simone: Oh he can hear Jasmine, I'm sure! He just doesn't care what she has to say!

Mac's series of brutal blows finally has the champion driven down to his knees but one swift uppercut between the legs from Knox to Bane brings an end to this onslaught! Jasmine again orders the fight to stop but Matthew delivers a hard shot to Bane's head that sends the former champion careening down the ramp and he ALMOST crashes right into Jasmine herself who dodges the near three hundred pounder just in the nick of time!

Simone: Be careful Jasmine! Get out of there! These two don't care who gets caught between them!

Adams: Why hasn't security com out here yet!?

Matthew grabs someone at ringside and drags them from their seat, taking the steel folding chair in hand! With Bane on his hands and knees, recovering from the low blow, he is in prime position for Knox to bring the steel chair down across his wide back with a sickening crash!

Simone: Oh come ON! Someone stop this! We need help out here!

Bane rolls to his back, in obvious pain and Matthew jams the steel chair down into his windpipe, choking the life out of him! Bane coughs and gags, his legs kicking and hands tearing at the chair but the leverage is on Knox's side! Now Jasmine gets hands on and she grabs Knox by the arm and pries his arm loose, causing him to release the choke hold! Matthew spins around and rears an arm back, ready to strike...!

Simone: Don't you DARE hit her...!

Knox then goes back on the attack and he swings the chair overhead to bring down onto Bane, but Mac kicks a big boot up into the chair, sending it smashing back into Matthew's own face! Knox staggers back, holding his face and he drops the chair! The Raven staggers back and lowers his hands and they are covered in blood!

Adams: First blood goes to Mac! Payback is a bitch!

Simone: I would not be a bit surprised if Matthew Knox's nose got shattered after that!

The blood is flowing freely from Knox's nose as Mac gets to his feet and he lunges, spearing Knox THROUGH the barricade and they crash right into the timekeeper's area!!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

"The Raven" is down and out on his back as Mac Bane slowly comes to amidst the rubble of the broken barricade, scattered chairs and an overturned table! Reaching over and grabbing a power cord from the floor, Mac wraps it around Knox's throat and tightens it, pulling back as hard as he can!

Adams: He's choking him! He's choking the life out of Matthew Knox!

Simone: Whether Matthew Knox deserves it or not, this has gone way to far! There is no way this match was ever going to contain these two men!

Knox's own face is now turning a healthy shade of bluish purple as he chokes and struggles against Bane's choke! Mac uses the cord to thrash Knox from side to side and Matthew rolls to his hands and knees and grabs the World title belt that has come loose from his waist... Just as Drew Patton, Dawn Barnes and Jacob Summers run out to help Jasmine!

Simone: FINALLY! It's about time someone came out here to stop this carnage!

Adams: Lottsa luck!

But as Drew and Jacob grab Mac by the arms to pry loose his choke hold and Dawn and Jasmine attempt to tear the cord from around Knox's throat, Matthew takes the World title belt and swings it up into Mac's head, knocking him off! He did not get all of the blow in that he wanted, but it is enough to knock Bane away and to his knees, clearly dazed and hurt! A large gash has now been opened on Mac's own forehead from the belt strike, and the crimson begins to flow freely as Matthew begins using the championship belt to whip Mac across the back like a dog! Now even MORE help arrives as SVW security is out on the scene, getting between both men and forcing them apart!

Simone: Finally! I can not believe what we have just witnessed! I...!

Adams: It's not over! Not yet!

As Matthew Knox suddenly breaks free from the restraining arms of the security personnel holding him back and he starts firing off shots blindly, swinging and laying one security guard out after another! Much as Mac uses his arm strength to swing two security guards into each other and he clotheslines a third! More try to intervene but Knox bulldozes past them and jumps at Mac who sees him coming and Bane suddenly catches Knox up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry!

Adams: Oh no... oh NO!!!

Simone: GET OUT OF THE WAY JASON!!!

And Bane puts Knox THROUGH the broadcasters table with a Death Valley driver, causing it to EXPLODE into splinters and shattered wood!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! SCW! HOLY SHIT! SCW!

Matthew Knox is out on his back , body belt amidst the rubble but STUILL Mac Bane is not finished! He rolls over on top of Knox, both men bloodied, and he starts to throw down fists into the Raven's face! Suddenly Mark Ward and Christian Underwood, followed by a number of men from the roster! Goth! Miles Kasey! Agostino Romano! Bulldog Bill Barnhart! "Godly" Ken Davison! Max Burke and more! The bosses and the Superstars FINALLY pry Mac Bane off of Matthew Knox and drag him back and away from the broken World Champion by force as paramedics arrive at ringside! Bane fights and struggles to get away from the Superstars restraining him but is unable as they pull him back and away from the ringside area by the owners's orders! Mark and Christian stand there, making sure Bane is removed from the scene as the paramedics begin their work on Knox, securing him in a neck brace and lowering the gurney...

Simone: I just can not believe what we just witnessed. The World title match we were supposed to see has obviously been thrown out but...

Adams: I don't remember EVER seeing a fight like that! The level of hatred between these two men... it's UNREAL!

Simone: And now where this leaves either man where the world title is concerned or even Summer XXXTreme X is anyone's guess!

Adams: Do you actually think Mark and Christian would risk another match between these two???

The camera catches the paramedics carefully shifting Matthew Knox, now in a neck brace, onto the gurney and securing him...

Simone: I don't know, Jason. I honestly don't know. We're going to have to wait until next week when we arrive in Scottsdale, Arizona for the Going Home edition of Climax Control before we find out! For my colleague Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone. See you next week everybody!

The last thing seen is the paramedics wheeling Matthew Knox to the back on the gurney as the screen fades to black and credits roll...
