The sun is setting over the sea aboard the Sun Princess, giving everyone the unique experience of this, the traditional wrestling program hosted on a luxury ocean cruise liner. A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage, bare chested with white lycra pants with gold stripe down the side, black neck tie and a sailor hat with gold anchor detail on the front. 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 around the ship at all of the fans filling the seats. 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 Sun Princess Cruise for the sixth annual Summer XXXTreme IX!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd applauds and cheers as Amanda steps out onto the stage, dressed in a white sundress with pink and red hearts 'dotted' all over it! With a skip in her step, she pops open a frilly, pink umbrella and begins the performance.
Amanda: Ooh yeah
Oh I'm your shelter from the storm
You'll know I'll always have your back
I'll even let you warm your freezing hands inside my butt crack
I never get out my leaf blower when Oprah is on
And when you're telling me about your feelings I try not to yawn
And when we're at parties I don't talk about your spastic bladder
When you're cleaning the gutters on the roof I hold the ladder
And if that isn't love
If that isn't love
If that isn't love
I don't know what love is
Nanananananana nanananano I guess I don't know
Nanananananana
Ahhhh listen now
There's a microscopic bit of milk left in the refrigerator
I coulda finished it off but I quit in case you want a tiny little sip for later
And if you cut the cheese then maybe I'll wink and say the dog's to blame
And I'll make sure to call you baby every time I forget your name
I'll even tell you girl when you start looking fat
'cuz all your so-called friends will probably neglect to mention that
And if that isn't love
If that isn't love
If that isn't love
I don't know what love is
Nanananananana nananana well then I don't know
Nananannananna
Oh no
Even though you make me sit through Mamma Mia!
Well I still adore you
I'll kiss you even if you have omelettes for breakfast
And I can't stand omelettes
After I take a bath
If its still warm I'll leave the water in there for you
I'll give you my word
You're so beautiful you make a glorious sunset look like a big fat turd
Every time I see you trying to lift some really heavy thing
You can always count on me to help by saying something encouraging
If you get drunk and pass out I'll never sharpie up your face
And I don't wipe my nose on your couch even though that's a super convenient place
I totally support every idiotic thing you do
And I almost never pretend you're someone else when I'm making out with you
And if that isn't love
If that isn't love
If that isn't love
I don't know what love is
Nanananananana no I don't know what love is
Nanananananana well I don't know what love is
don't know what love is!
The crowd cheers and applauds for Amanda as she takes a sweeping curtsy and blows kisses to all corners of the cruise ship before disappearing back behind the curtains.
The camera then pans to the broadcasters table where sits Belinda Simone and Jason Adams; Belinda wearing a turquoise one piece swimsuit and a tasteful matching sun bonnet while Jason has a neon cap on backwards, bare chested with colorful Bermuda shorts.
Simone: Hello everyone! Welcome to the hottest event of the summer! On behalf of my colleague Jason Adams ...
Jason waves to the camera with a goofy smile.
Simone: I am Belinda Simone, and welcome to Summer XXXTreme IX!
The camera again pans the crowd cheering aboard the Sun Princess before returning to ringside.
Simone: Fourteen - fourteen - matches headline this extravaganza, INCLUDING two of the biggest matches in SCW history!
Adams: The Winner Takes All Matches for the World Bombshell and World Heavyweight Championships! Permission to squeal?
Simone: Permission granted.
Adams: Eeeee!
Simone: I suppose I deserved that. We kick things off tonight by finding out the third man in the Ultimate X Roulette title match later this evening when Agostino Romano goes up against Shane Borderland!
Adams: Then it's the first traditional Ultimate X Over the Pool match for the Bombshell Roulette Championship when Krystal Wolfe defends the title against Bea Barnhart and Maki!
Simone: Keira Fisher-Johnson is back in singles competition to prove herself but first she must get past Azurine Vebbins inside of the six-sided ring!
Adams: Then it's time for the World Mixed Tag Team Championship! "Milo" Kasey and Seleana Zdunich both won their Golden Ticket matches and tonight they have to face Austin James Mercer and Tempest for the gold!
Simone: Then we have a battle of youth versus experience! Brayden Hilton made his interests in facing the vastly more experienced and Hall of Famer Goth. Whether he's ready or not tonight he gets his wish!
Adams: Char Kwan is convinced she can be at the best the Bombshells have to offer and tonight at Summer XXXTreme IX she gets the chance to prove it against the Icon Roxi Johnson!
Simone: Violet Amelia Holt has been making the life of Candy miserable, but tonight she faces retribution against Candy in her specialty; the Glitter Bomb match!
Adams: Christina Zdunich issued an open challenge a few weeks ago for tonight and it was Jessie Salco who answered!
Simone: Then it's the Superstars turn at the Ultimate X Over the Pool when Alex Jones defends his Roulette championship against Caleb Storms and the winner of tonight's opener!
Adams: It's time to settle things once and for all between Samantha Marlowe and Andrea Hernandez in a Best Two Out of Three Falls grudge match!
Simone: Speaking of grudge matches, the war between Bella Madison and Mercedes Vargas ignited over six weeks ago when Mercedes attacked Bella in order to take her place in the Queen For the Day match! Now Mercedes faces karma personified by Bella in a Blindfold match!
Adams: Speaking of wars...! The one between David Shepherd and Fenris has been going on for THREE MONTHS and has no end in sight! Christian has decided that these two are going to have to work together - in a tag team match! But they have trouble ahead because they have to face close friends and the more experienced team of Senor Vinnie and "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!
Simone: Then it's our first of TWO Winner Take All, World Champion versus Internet Champion matches! First up, there has been a long debate over who is the most dominant Bombshell in SCW! World Champion Amber Ryan or the record setting Internet Champion, Myra Rivers! That is how all of this first began when the two engaged in quite the war of words, and tonight they settle it! Two champions enter, but ONE Bombshell will walk out with two titles!
Adams: And the Superstars take the Main Event, when they, like the Bombshells, are out to prove who's the REAL top dawg in SCW! World Heavyweight Champion Mark Cross or Internet Champion Mac Bane! Winner take all!
Simone: All this and more on SCW Summer XXXTreme IX!
In the ring, Dawn Barnes can be seen checking the ropes.
Simone: Our opening match tonight features Agostino Romano against the monster Shane Borderland. And if you ask me, I will not be going anywhere close to him.
Justin Decent moves to the ring and climbing the ring stairs, he slides between the ropes and stands in the middle of the ring.
Adams: Let's go to Justin for the introductions.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...
As the lights dim throughout the arena, red strobe lights start shining everywhere as the sound of "My Time to Shine" by Saliva blares through the arena. Shane Borderland slowly comes out behind the curtain and stops when he reaches the top of the ramp and looks throughout the crowd. He raises his arms up in the air as the crowd boo's him. He starts walking down the ramp looking side to side at the crowd. He jumps up on the apron, and turns an looks at the crowd and shakes his head. He goes through the middle rope and hops up on the turnbuckle and extends his arms then he jumps off the turnbuckle.
Justin: From San Diego California, Shane Borderland!
Simone: What a match up this is going to be. It is a last chance qualifier match.
Justin: And his opponent...
Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the curtain, wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him.
Justin: From Milan Italy, he is Agostino Romano!
Adams: Agostino Romano is set to take on this big man in the ring.
Simone: I am worried for him. He doesn't seem to be taking Shane seriously.
Agostino does high fives to the crowd before seeing a kid in the front row which he pulls funny faces at along with giving them a hat from his Global Bike Championship days. He then goes inside of the ring and waves at the fans with the crowd cheering for him while James claps from outside of the ring before Agostino waits for his opponent to come out to the ring with James standing at ringside.
Simone: Shane is half a foot taller and Agostino looks so small against him.
Adams: Size usually doesn't matter but I don't like Romano's chances.
DING DING DING!
The sound of the bell sends Shane charging towards Agostino with bad intentions but Romano is able to avoid the attack by ducking under the outstretched hands of Shane. Agostino turns and uses a chop on the chest of Shane that he just ignores as he grabs at the head of Agostino and whips him into the corner. Romano turns and sees Shane headed into the corner and ducks past hm. Shane stops and turns as Agostino charges in and leaps on the thighs of the bigger man. Agostino attempts a monkey flip but Shane just tosses him into the middle of the ring. Agostino gets on his hands and knees to see Shane striding towards him. Romano pushes himself backwards and under the bottom rope to the outside. Shane follows him to the ropes and reaching over the top rope, grasps Agostino by the hair and pulls him on the apron. Before Shane can pull him into the ring, Romano grabs him by the back of the head and drops to the floor and hanging Shane on the top rope which slingshots him backwards. Quickly sliding into the ring, Agostino attempts a pin.
Adams: Agostino going for a pin when this match has barely begun..that isn't going to end well.
Shane easily presses Romano off him and rolls to his hands and knees. Agostino gets to his feet and then rushes to grab the leg of Shane to try and put in him a sharpshooter. Shane uses his leg strength to prevent the hold then kicks Agostino into the ropes. Romano rebounds as Shane rises. Catching Romano by the throat with two hands, he slams him to the mat. Agostino arches in pain as he rolls on the canvas. Shane stands over him before pulling him up and lifting him onto his shoulders. Shane punishes Agostino with a gorilla press before slamming him to the mat again. With Romano writhing on the mat, Shane drops to one knee and covers Romano carelessly. Agostino kicks out which only angers Shane who begins too rain down punches on him. Putting his hand on the throat of Romano, Shane again makes a pin. Barnes tells Shane that he won't make a count because of the choke hold that he is using for the pin. Shane growls at him to count the pin but Barnes shakes his head no. Agostino continues to kick as he tries to force the hand off his throat. Dawn begins to count after warning Shane he would disqualify him. Finally at four, Shane releases the hold on Romano's throat and rises towards Dawn menacingly.
Simone: Shane looks like he doesn't care about the rules. He is making his own rules by forcing everyone to dance to his tune.
Barnes warns Shane off as Agostino rolls to the ropes. Using his hands and the ropes, Romano stands and leans against them as Shane turns to glare at him. The large man charges at him with a big boot attempt but Romano throws himself to the side and avoids the boot but Shane hurts his leg on the top rope. Agostino sees an advantage and rushes towards Shane to land on his back and take him off his feet with a reverse frankensteiner that sends Shane to the mat. Agostino quickly rushes to the corner and climbs the turnbuckles to the top. Looking down at Shane who is slowly getting up, Agostino launches himself off the top rope with a frog splash that stops Shane from getting to his hands and knees. Agostino rolls to the side clutching his midsection in pain as Shane sucks in air from the frog splash. Agostino fights his way to his hands and knees and crawls towards Shane who sits up and turns with a glare at Romano who stops in his tracks with a surprised look on his face.
Adams: I think he thought that he had Shane beat.
Simone: Going to take much more than that to beat Borderland.
Shane gets to his feet slowly as Agostino has a deer in the headlights look and backs away from Shane. Borderland reaches out and catching Romano by the head, he starts to hit him with rights and lefts that stagger the smaller man. Shane follows him around the ring raining punches and kicks on Romano with one final punch, launches Agostino into the ropes then he rebounds into a clothesline that rocks him right out of his boots. Agostino lays on the mat as Barnes checks on him. Shane reaches down and pulling Romano to his feet, scoops him up and violently slams him to the mat once more. Agostino arches in pain as his hand goes to his back. Shane looks down at him with no emotion before picking him up again and once more scooping him up for a body slam. Agostino manages to use a forearm on Shane that prevents the second body slam as Shane drops him to the mat. Romano is quick to roll to the outside and rests against the ring apron. Shane drops and rolls out of the other side of the ring and stalks towards Agostino who sees him coming and rushes to the ringsteps to launch himself at the bigger man with shooting star ddt that sends Shane to the floor face first in front of the announce table.
Simone: YES, Agostino took Shane Borderland down!
Leaving Shane on the outside, Agostino rolls into the ring and breaks the count. Barnes moves towards the ropes to check on a slowly rising Shane who uses the announce table to rise. He smirks at Belinda who backs away quickly as Jason steps in front of her. Shane backs away with a menacing grin as Agostino leaps on the turnbuckle and launches himself towards the bigger man with a moonsault to the outside that sends both of the men to the floor once more. Both men are on the floor in pain as Dawn again starts to count. Shane rises slowly as Agostino begins to crawl to the ringsteps. Pulling himself up using the steel, Agostino pulls himself to the ring apron then rolls slowly under the bottom rope. Shane reaches up and pulls himself up to the apron with one hand then slides over the middle rope and into the ring before glaring at the slowly rising Agostino.
Simone: Behind you Agostino!!!
Agostino leans back in the corner as Shane charges in at Romano who sees him coming then leaps over the shoulder block before turning as Shane straightens. Catching him by the back of the head as he leaps on the thighs of Shane, Agostino pulls him out of the corner with a racer's crash that has both knees striking the face of Borderland and sending him to the mat. Romano rushes to the corner and climbing to the top, hits a frog splash on Shane that drives the air from his lungs. Agostino grabs at both legs of Shane and rolls him over for a pin as Barnes drops to the mat and makes the count.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Agostino ROMANO!
Agostino quickly tosses the legs of Borderland to the side and stands to accept the cheers of the people surrounding the ring.
Adams: Agostino wins the match and will move on.
Simone: What a match though Jason, it was a hard fought victory and I don't think we have seen the last of Shane
Barnes holds up the arm of Agostino in victory as Shane gets to his feet and moves to the ropes to leave the ring. Agostino moves out of the ring and up the ramp.
Adams: Congrats again to Agostino.
Agostino disappears backstage followed by Shane who brushes aside the curtains to follow him.
The scene opens by the Ultimate X Structure where we see the reigning Bombshell Roulette Champion Krystal Wolfe sans title standing beside the structure as she is getting ready to be interviewed by Ms. Rocky Mountains.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal, we are moments away from your second title defence against Maki and Bea Barnhart, but I must ask, where is your title? Did Bea steal it again?
Krystal: I wouldn't exactly put it past Bea to try that stunt again, but no, I've had it close to me ever since I boarded and right now?
Krystal points to the middle of the cables where her Bombshell Roulette Championship is hanging above the pool.
Krystal: I won't be holding onto the title again until I after I retain it, Maki and Bea Barnhart think that they have what it takes to beat me, but history has proven time and again that they aren't fit to be champions.
Krystal adds before she starts climbing up the structure, she stops just short of the cables and turns her attention back to Rock.
Krystal: But once they are out of the way, it'll be that easy for me to climb up, cross the cables and retain the Bombshell Roulette Championship and who knows? Maybe I'll take a dip in the pool afterwards?
Krystal asks rhetorically before jumping off the structure and landing in front of Rocky.
Krystal: Either way? I'll be entering the next cycle the same way I started this cycle, as Krystal Wolfe, the Bombshell Roulette Champion, long may I reign!
Krystal walks off to make some final preparations for the match as the scene fades.
We switch backstage to where Scott Oliver is standing with Bea Barnhart. She is in her trademark wrestling outfit and she is in place to make her entrance for her Ultimate X Over The Pool match for the Bombshell Roulette Championship.
Scott: Bea both your opponents, Krystal and Maki, had a lot to say leading up to this match. To be fair I have to mention that you also had a lot to say leading up to this match. So now it comes down to which one of you three has what it takes to back up what you said leading up to the match. What do you have to say concerning that item?
Bea: Maki talked a lot of smack but she hasn't proven to me that she was able to earn her way into this Championship match. The fact that she whines and moans and complains and keeps getting shots at Championships when she hasn't earned them is all the fans need to know for our match.
Scott: How about Krystal?
Bea: Krystal is a hypocrite and a liar. She gets before the camera making claims of being a sweet innocent polite individual but as you saw at Climax Control 305 she attacked me as I was walking into the backstage area to hand to her the Bombshell Roulette Championship that I took from her previous match to clean and sanitize it. I figured she'd appreciate that a fellow wrestler would think of cleaning and sanitizing the Championship belt but apparently, being the hypocrite she is, she attacked me instead of thanking me. Then when you add that Krystal lied about my intentions it makes me want to hurt her so bad she'll go into retirement. Krystal lied and told everyone I stole the Bombshell Roulette Championship because she claimed I cannot defeat her. I hate liars and hypocrites so I hate Krystal double for what she did to me.
Scott: I understand your anger and frustration. How do you see this match going?
Bea: I am entering this Ultimate X Over The Pool match as challenger for the Bombshell Roulette Championship. A shot at the Championship that I legally earned. The three of us will be climbing up on the X platform but only I will come down from the platform with the Championship in my possession and I will be declared the new Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Roulette Champion. This match isn't about wrestling it is about beating the crap out of my opponents and eliminating them from the match while I grab the Championship to claim my rightful place as Bombshell Roulette Champion.
Scott: Without a doubt you are confident going into this match.
Bea: Damn right I am! Why shouldn't I be? I don't lie like Krystal does. I don't act like I'm a goody-two-shoes only to act like a demon possesses bitch. And for damn sure I don't have shot after shot after shot at Championships handed to me for not earning those shots at championships like Maki has done. There's no place in the sport of wrestling for whining crybaby bitches like Maki and two-faced hypocrite liars like Krystal. In this match I will clean and sanitize Sin City Wrestling of these two scum stains. Thanks for your time Scott. I need to move into position to make my entrance for my match.
Scott: There you have it. An extremely confident and able Bea Barnhart planning to enter the Bombshell Roulette Championship match and exiting as the Champion.
Justin Decent: The following match is The ultimate X match for the SCW BOMBSHELLS ROULETTE CHAMPIONSHIP
We pull out to see the pool, the steel structure set up with the cables above forming an X, the bombshells roulette championship strung up in the middle of it.We see the champion Krystal Wolfe, Maki and Bea Barnhart all stand at separate parts of the poolside area as the fans are pulled back away from them.
DING DING DING!
The bell rings and the match begins, Bea straight away backs up as Maki and Krystal go right at each other. Maki ducks down and tackles Krystal right into a stack of deck chairs. She starts hitting hard right hands as Bea slides around behind them and grabs the metal structure to try and climb. Maki gets kicked away by Krystal who fights back to her feet, Krystal runs and jumps off one of the deck chairs hitting a spear on Maki to take her down. Krystal looks over and notices Bea starting her climb, she runs and hits a second spear, this time to Krystal taking her down from the steel structure through a plastic table sitting right next to the X. The crowd goes nuts watching this fast yet chaotic start
Adams: This is insane, the match began with an explosion of violence as Maki went right at our champion Krystal Wolfe. And Bea Barnhart tried to climb right away!
Simone: I never thought I'd say this about someone who is married to Bill Barnhart but...that was a very intelligent move by Bea
Adams: That seemed like a backhanded compliment if I've ever heard one
Simone: Little bit yeah
Krystal hits Bea with a few hard rights as she covers up in the remanance of the plastic table. But due to her focus on Bea she doesn't see Maki come up behind her, Maki hits a hard kick right to Krystals spine, it makes her arch her back and Maki pulls Krystal back, Maki then hits a low kick to Krystals knee, then a kick to her chest back to her knee and then a final one to Krystals chest with each shot sounding like a baseball bat shot. Krystal slumps down and holds her chest as Maki turns her attention to Bea who crawls out of the plastic table wreckage, Maki grabs a holt of Beas leg and drags her back but Bea kicks her leg out violently and hits Maki right in the face sending her back, Bea pops to her feet and runs forward grabbing Maki by the head and hitting the Bea bulldog into a deck chair as she also hits a now standing up Krystal with a clothesline!.
Bea pops back up and looks up at the championship dangling down and then back down at the water. She grabs a hold of part of the steel structure and starts to pull herself up, she gets about halfway up before a folded up deck chair comes flying from the side hitting her off the structure from Krystal. The champion resorting to wilf tactics to keep her championship. Meanwhile Maki pulls herself up and stumbles after being hit by the bulldog almost falling into the pool. Her title aspirations flashing before her eyes as Krystal moves up near her, Maki spins around and goes for a kick, Krystal ducks it, picks Maki up and runs her face and body first into the metal structure holding up the cables and the X
Simone: Bea seems to be the smartest one in this match, the second anyone elses back is turned or they are distracted Bea is trying to climb to get that title...Maki and Krystal seem more concerned with beating the snot out of each other
Adams: Maki and Krystal know that, but they are trying to keep each other down...see look at Krystal now!
As if Krystal heard the commentary she starts to climb the steel, climbing up and over Maki who is hurt after hitting it, but Bea Barnhart comes from the side, a metal catering tray in her hands as she hits Krystal in the back. Krystal slides down the structure and Bea clobbers her in the head with the tray dropping her down, she swings at Maki now who ducks it and then kicks the tray back into Beas face, she then hits Krystal with a few shots before grabbing her by the hair and throwing her into the pool shack window. Krystal bounces off it and stumbles back, Bea Barnhart comes up behind Maki and throws her THROUGH the window headfirst. The window shatters and Bea smiles turning to look at the structure.
But...
Maki pushes away from the pool shack and turns around, blood streaming down her face as she shakes her head at Bea who looks like she's just seen a ghost, she turns to run but Maki grabs her by the hair and runs Bea right into the same pool shack but throws her through the door. Krystal watches this happen and as Maki enters the pool shack and shuts the door behind her we hear Beas screams as Krystal looks up at the title. Krystal walks over and grabs the structure, she starts to climb as the pool shack door comes flying off followed by Bea Barnhart!. She hits the ground hard as Maki steps out sp[itting her blood on the ground in anger. She turns to see Krystal whos jaw drops, she starts to climb faster as Maki runs at her.
Simone: Oh my god. Krystal needs to climb faster, she has to get that title down now and end this insanity
Adams: Maki looks like a woman possessed, the anger, the blood and Bea Barnhart laying on the ground!
Krystal climbs fast enough to avoid Maki, but Maki goes right up after her, Krystal kicks her legs at Maki trying to get her away as she reaches the cable, Krystal shimmies up and across as Maki follows. Krystal slides herself across the cable but Maki grabs a hold of her leg. Krystal kicks hard and faster but Maki then follows onto the same Cable causing them both to just hang by their hands and swing back and forth over the pool, Maki swings herself around and kicks Krystal in the side.Krystal swings back and kicks Maki in the chest, Maki hangs by one hand and has to struggle to get her other hand up. Meanwhile Bea Barnhart has pulled herself up on the opposite structure and is climbing up her own Cable!
Maki swings back and forth before getting up speed, letting go of the cable and throwing herself to the next one over!. The crowd goes insane for the athletic move as Krystal turns herself around. All three women now on their own cables sliding towards the center and the dangling Roulette title belt!.
Simone: This is precarious!
Adams: Damn right it is. And so dangerous too....all three women have a chance at that title belt
All three women get close to the title and then start to kick one another, almost as if they are foot fighting back and forth over and over again, Krystal holds on with one hand, Maki throws her legs up and wraps them around Beas head trying to pull her off with her thighs. Krystal dangles by her fingertips before throwing her body up, grabbing the cable with both hands she throws her legs around and kicks both Bea and Makis hands!, they both let go and both of them fall from the cables into the pool below! Krystal dangles and is able to wrap her legs around the X to reach up and undo the roulette title belt winning the match!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner.... AND STILL SCW Bombshell Roulette champion.... Krystal Wolfe!
Simone: Krystal is still the SCW Bombshell Roulette champion!
Adams: She's fast becoming one of the best Bombshells we've ever seen. Gabriel and Odette must be so proud of her!
The cameras come back into focus and as they do we are taken to what looks to be a shot by the crowd. The fans are all booing loudly. The boos are absolutely deafening as the cameras pan in on what's causing it. Brittany Williams has an evil grin on her lips as she holds a microphone to her mouth and looks over at her brother Brayden who just shakes his head in utter disgust.
Simone: Oh God would you look at that what the hell is she doing out here.
Adams: I don't know but the most annoying mouth piece in all of wrestling seems to be causing a commotion.
Brittany: Would you look at that... Here we are aboard the Sun Princess and this year we actually get to have fans aboard. Isn't that so amazing?! Now you all get to witness the best mouth piece in all of wrestling in the flesh. For those who may not know me my name is Brittany Williams. I am a second generation star and my brother is THE BEST SUPSERSTAR TO HAVE SIGNED UP WITH THIS COMPANY. SHOW HIM PROPER RESPECT AND...
The fans begin to boo her loudly as they don't even give her a chance to speak. Brayden however shakes his head in disgust as he raises his microphone to his lips and speaks to the world.
Brayden: WE GET IT BRITTANY... You want to be the MANAGER of the year!!! You want to be the best... Too bad your career went up in flames when you dropped the ball against Alicia in your failed cash in of your Blast From The Past Tournament win. Do us all a favor and just SHUT UP!!!
The crowd actually begins to cheer as Brittany seems surprised.
Simone: Brayden just told his sister to shut up!
Adams: And this crowd is eating it all up!
Brayden smiles as he looks at the audience and just looks at them all grinning.
Brayden: My sister cans hut up but all of you idiots can SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! My name is Brayden Hilton and it's a known fact that I am the best damn thing on this ship. The moment I signed up with this company all of you ate that shit right up. You were like little lambs being led to a slaughter. You had no idea what to expect with me. I am already one match in and I would say it has been nothing but amazing. I stepped into the ring with Shane Borderland and of course I brought home the W. My issue with this company is the fact that CHRISTIAN UNDERWOOD is a sad sorry excuse of a piece of shit!
Brayden just shakes his head as he looks right into the camera.
Brayden: How does it make any fucking sense that I manage to beat SHANE and he got put in an opportunity to compete for the Roulette Championship?! If I didn't know any better I would say that spells complete bullshit. You don't do that to a once in a lifetime generational talent. As a third generation of a talent that means my legacy spans across three different eras. I have news for you. On this very ship this week I was actually blessed when my wife gave birth to Isabella Valentina Hilton... That makes generation number four and that little girl was already blessed knowing that she has a future of shattering every single fucking record in whatever she does for the simple fact she's my daughter!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!
Brayden: Oh go ahead and boo me... I can't help it that you all wished you could be with the woman that I am. Right here on this very ship there wasn't a place that was safe from where the two of us had sex at. Pool side...by the Jacu
i. It felt amazing too....It was something that you can only dream off and just like my wonderful sex life. I don't ever show signs of slowing down or stopping either! I just have the ability to keep going! Tonight I walk into my first ever Super Card. This show seems to be a big fucking deal. Out of the woodwork people tend to return and give you some false hope that they wish to make things relevant again...Brayden is disgusted before he smiles.
Brayden: You don't have to look at that though. You only need to look at one simple thing though. Just keep your eyes on me because tonight I will easily dispose of a Hall of Famer. I will establish my own legacy and my name will just be shoved down everybody's throats. Christian Underwood eat your fucking heart out because despite the odds you tried to put against me I will get my respect. I will CLEANLY beat Goth and I will go on to showcase why I deserve bigger and better things...
Brayden snickers as he laughs speaking some more.
Brayden: In case you have forgotten... I am ACADEMIC.... ATHLETIC... and AN ACHIEVER... In other words I AM BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU... But what did you expect from a man who has a GPA that is 4.6... _Non-weighed of course.... Fuck all of you and....
Simone: Somebody needs to shut this man up!
Adams: This is getting ridiculous.
All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.
Simone: Wait what the heck is this?!
Adams: I don't know but
"YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!"
As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.
Smile Bomb by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains. She is accompanied by her wife Seleana, and the two of them make their way to the ring. Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She looks over at her children and just shakes her head at them.
Simone: Wait a minute is that Christina Rose?!
Adams: Wait a minute... That red hair.... That's....
Crystal raises a microphone to her lips as she smirks over at Seleana before she begins speaking.
Crystal: Let me just say from the bottom of my heart that it feels SO GOOD TO BE BACK... In case you might not know... My name is CRYSTAL ZDUNICH... I am the BURNING ROSE!!!!!! Now I just want to thank my beautiful wife for reawakening what had been lost for years... I will admit I was afraid to bring this side out of me, but what other choice did I have. These two years have been a constant struggle of fighting for redemption and validation. I have tried everything to try to win over those who will never accept me...
Seleana: Ja... I told chickie there's no cow on ice and no one shit in blue cupboard. She care too much on what others think and not focus enough on how she feels.
Crystal laughs as she nods her head.
Crystal: It dawned on me when I fought Myra and she told me I been trying this redemption thing for far too long. I refused to acknowledge it but she was right... It has been too long and nobody believed in it. No reason to try to continue to beat a dead horse into the ground of trying to win this person over and win that person over... In other words FUCK IT!!! The only thing I ever needed was my wife and the support of all of you!!!
She points at the crowd as they roar with excitement.
CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL!
Crystal: That's right... She's definitely back and I know what I am about and what I can do. People want to shit on me but how can you shit on THE ONLY 5 TIME WORLD CHAMPION IN THIS COMPANY'S EXISTENCE... You can try to put me down with cheap insults but it still doesn't change the fact that I am indeed the best. You want to hide behind 140 characters on list in Twitter rants to seem like a tough guy. That's fine but try that shit in this ring to my face! That is where legends are made and that is where the Burning Rose will scorch you to ashes. This is my world and I am the best at what I do inside of it... Have a problem with that step up.... Now to my beautiful children instead of talking what you can do showcase what you can do in the ring. That's how you create a legacy... My legacy was established by being a workaholic in the ring not appearing as a bad ass on a microphone...
Crystal smiles as her fans continue cheering her on.
Crystal: To all of my blossoming roses out there... Let the burning rose set this shit on fire... Time to ignite the fires once again... .FLAME ON!!!!!!!
With that Crystal and Seleana walk away to loud cheers as Brittany and Brayden just begin to mouth off to one another. We go elsewhere.
Tonight, there really was nowhere to hide. In every sense of the word. Backstage was everywhere it seemed, no corridor unoccupied, no space without filling it seemed.
In this case though- the Bombshells World Champion, 'The Distorted Angel' Amber Ryan has found a less than quiet spot nearby to where an impromptu ping-pong tournament seemed to be well underway.
Having put as much space as she physically could between herself and festivities as possible, she leaned against a nearby wall with Bombshells title lazily slung over her shoulder- half watching, half trying to ignore and focus on her upcoming defense.
The Dragon: HA! Suck on that!
Referee: The kid's 12 dude...
Keen to pick up any momentum he could, the World Heavyweight champion made light work of his first round opponent...a teenager...flipping his bat down onto the table with a flourish as he went to think about hydration, and maybe a massage before his next challenge. Working his way through the crowd, his eye was drawn to a figure, deliberately trying to keep out of sight, he figured.
The big, shiny title belt gave her away, of course, and he didn't hesitate in making his way over
The Dragon: You umm...carry that thing with you everywhere you go?
With a very obvious look up and down, Amber knew she'd put on 'judgement stare' before he'd got within 10 feet. Only once he opened his mouth did she stop regretting it.
Ryan: You don't?
Raised eyebrows and a small smirk. Classic Amber fare, classic defensive measures in place- if she had hackles, they'd no doubt have been up the moment eye contact was made.
The Dragon: Well see I'd like to...but then I get finger marks on it...then I have to spend my evening cleaning it...and then kids always wanna hold it on things like these...vicious cycle, can't be dealing with it!
He leaned next to her against the wall, trying to adopt the same 'don't talk to me' pose, although he didn't think he carried it off half as well.
The Dragon: Social events and silly games not your thing by any chance?
A small shake of the head followed a half hearted chuckle as she shuffled just a little bit away, appreciative of the effort however the execution could use obvious work.
Ryan: I hope I'm not being that obvious, Cross. Besides, I have quite the pressing problem upcoming and unfortunately there isn't exactly much of a quiet space to be contemplative...
Another roar of celebration and agony filled the space snapping her attention over instinctively.
Ryan: I'd rather leave the silliness to the professionals.
The Dragon: I feel like that's a backhanded compliment of sorts...but I'm not sure...
He scratches at the back of his head for a moment, thinking it over.
The Dragon: I mean at least if you do fail I've saved you the extra agony of it being in the Main Event right? You're welcome.
Amber feigns an expression of sarcastic revelation.
Ryan: Ahh, so that's what this is about. I mean, if you wanted to go down in such a blaze of glory- you could have just asked nicely. Saved us all the hassle of getting into our gear... Although I gotta be honest, the only one of us with anything to be grateful for is that it's my husband you're facing and not me...
Rubbing her forearm idly, Amber pauses.
Ryan: I mean if you just came over to gloat, you did that. Congratulations, you got to be an asshole... now, I'm sure there is a 10 year old over there somewhere giving you the side eye...
The Dragon: Sorry...that felt like an open goal...
Almost out of interest, Mark pushes himself off the wall, peering through the crowd just to make sure there weren't any kids giving him the look of daggers. It might be his next round opponent after all, trying to psych him out.
The Dragon: ...but you are actually right. Given the choice, I'd definitely not like to see you on the opposite side of the ring. Win or lose I'd definitely be suffering in the morning. Now you've had your one genuine, no bullshit comment from me this trip, that's your lot. Normal service resumes from here on out.
His arm shoots out, giving Amber a playful(ish) shove, as he contemplates whether he'd be allowed to keep that arm. Tense moments pass as Amber straightens back up, a very self aware smile forming on her face- but she remains calm and without retaliation which only serves to heighten tension.
Ryan: ... and to think I was about to ask why you were being nice to me. Shame on me I suppose. Tell you what though, if they ever lift that 'intergender' barrier- you know just where to find me.
Pulling her hair back from her face, Amber clears her throat as a ping pong ball ricochets off in their direction. A few spectators do a double take, unsure what to make of both world champions seemingly coexisting(?) in the same space.
Ryan: Tell you what though... and I'm sure as fuck gonna regret saying this later... you somehow, someway manage to scrape by to retain your title, and I keep mine? I'll buy you a drink. Consider it an act of solidarity... raging asshole to raging asshole.
The Dragon: If they ever lift that intergender barrier I'll come and find you in six months when I'm getting bored. You're on for the drink though.
Mark decides to be helpful, scooping the ball up and launching it somewhere in the general area of the crowd. Hearing it bounce around, he figures nobody caught it on the way back in.
The Dragon: Hypothetically though, top three guys you'd want to knock seven bells out of in there? SCW past and present.
Amber doesn't even take a moment to breathe, although her gaze is still fixed on the ping pong tournament table- or at least what she can make out between shuffling bodies.
Ryan: My husband.
Another pause follows, before Amber realizes she should probably clarify.
Ryan: We're one for one against each other in singles. Haven't gotten around to the rubber match yet...
Clearing her throat, she realizes she's been rubbing her forearm again, bruises in angry black and purple blotches spreading as she quickly moves her arms behind her back.
Ryan: Obviously present company... just because. Third? I'd have to think on it... depends on if I wanna kill or be killed I suppose. Dare I ask the women that you'd be willing to square off with- or is it presumptuous to ask a gentleman if he'd hit a woman to begin with.
The Dragon: Oh no...my list is easy. Evie...since I think after Blast from the Past we'd both like to put hands around each other's throats and squeeze...present company, since I like to willingly subject myself to pain and suffering...and Mikah...much for the same reason as Evie, except we haven't been forced to team up.
He thinks of moving on, but seems to do a little double-take.
The Dragon: Wait...present company just because? You could choose ANY name and yet I make your top three. Why?
Amber gives him a look, although the expression is difficult to pinpoint exactly the tone or how badly she wanted to hit him.
Ryan: Mmm, seemed polite. Also, I think it'd be interesting... it's rare I get to face anyone who talks as much shit as I do.
Another ping pong ball comes rocketing in their direction, cracking into the wall between them. Amber doesn't flinch as she dismisses the brief distraction. Mark on the other hand, distracted as he stares out into space, nearly jumps out of his skin.
The Dragon: Christ on a bike!! I mean speak for yourself but all I'm doing is calling it like I see it. Maybe that's where we're different huh? You also have nerves of steel or something...jeez...
Amber chuckles, almost in spite of herself.
Ryan: I've spent my career getting punched in the face and basically getting the shit kicked out of me by people far bigger than I am... I kinda have to.
Sensing a shift in the tension at the table, more people start looking in their direction- a fact Amber is hyper aware of and intensely uncomfortable with as she fidgets on the spot.
Ryan: Speaking of... seems like you have a 8 year olds ass to kick. Just do me a favour Cross...
The Dragon: ...listen I'm not gonna leave your husband in one piece if it means I have to listen to you two going at it after Sunday night. I've only got my title to keep me warm on this trip...
Pushing off the wall, Amber brushes herself off a little, procrastinating having to respond to... Well, that.
Ryan: Cute. But I'm not at all concerned about what you and your title get up to behind closed doors.
Drawing level as she goes to move away, she pauses just long enough for a much more deliberate response.
Ryan: ... Don't let your demons eat you alive.
Before the champ even has a moment to respond though, Amber- as quick as a whip- flicks out a fist and not so politely whacks Cross below the belt. Just hard enough that he knows that he earned it.
The Dragon: Gaaaaaah...
Ryan: Go get'em... champ.
The Dragon: Yup...you too...
Glancing behind, he waited for Amber to glide away out of sight before his hand shot to the wall to try and keep himself upright.
Justin moves to enter the ring and brings the microphone to his lips as Jasmine St John watches up the ramp.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...
As "Radio Gaga" by Queen prominently plays throughout the arena, "Da Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like a hustling, bustling housewife practicing aerobics. She performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar) to indicate she's taken. Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction and her next opponent.
Justin: From Los Angeles California, she is Azurine Vebbins! And her opponent...
Adams: This young woman is making a name for herself in Sin City Wrestling.
Simone: Yes she is but tonight, she is going up against a very strong veteran.
"Like a Phoenix" begins to slowly play as the lights go out. Two lights from the stage are seen showing Keira's shadow, raising her arms. The lights come back on as Keira turns and walks down the ring. She slaps a few fans hands as she slides in. She raises her hand and shouts out, "Like a HERO, BABY!" as she watches her opponent across the ring.
Justin: She is from Miami Florida, Keira Fisher!
Adams: Keira Fisher is a former multi time champion in SCW. I worry for Azurine.
Jasmine moves to the center of the ring and motions for the two bombshells to join her. She talks to both about having a clean match. She then checks both women with a pat down and steps back to motion for the bell to begin the match.
Simone: Here we go Jason, this match is about to begins because there is the bell.
DING DING DING!
The pair back away and begin to circle. Azurine lunges in with a grappling move but Keira quickly ducks under the grab and races for the ropes to rebound off them charging in with a shoulder block. The impact with Azurine sends Keira to the mat. Azurine laughs as she reaches down and pulls Keira to her feet with one hand. Picking her up, Azurine uses a scoop slam that has Keira arching in pain. Azurine pushes Keira to the mat and leans down with one hand to hold her in a pin. Keira kicks out quickly and rolls away as Azurine smiles at the referee who motions for the one count. She turns to go after Keira who hits a dropkick on the woman. Azurine staggers backwards and brings her hand up to her face checking for blood. Seeing none, she charges towards Keira who had backed up to the ropes. Seeing the young woman coming at her, Keira drops as she pulls down the top rope which sends Azurine skidding to a stop. Azurine sends her to the floor with a kick to the midsection that sends her rolling against the barricade. Arching her back, she fights her way to her feet as Azurine moves to the ropes and holds them open for Keira to come back into the ring. Azurine watches cautiously as she climbs on the apron then Keira climbs inside and then nods in respect to Vebbins. The pair once more circle then lock up in a collar and elbow tie up that neither woman can leverage enough until Azurine turns enough to force Keira into a headlock that she chains into a hammerlock that brings Keira up on her toes.
Adams: Azurine has taken control but you are going to need to do more if you want to keep Keira down.
Keira fights her way to the ropes and puts one foot through them to break the hold. Azurine lets go and holds her hands up as she backs away from Keira who steps back into the ring and begins to shake some feeling into the arm that had been hammerlocked. Azurine moves towards Keira who holds up her hands in a bid for stopping Vebbins which has the woman stop and straighten up. Keira uses a bit of the distraction to grab the arm of Vebbins and whips her into the corner before rushing in and hitting a monkey flip on Azurine that sends her skidding along the canvas into the middle of the ring. Arching her back, Azurine brings a hand to her lower back in pain as she fights to her hands and knees. Keira rushes off the ropes and hits a bulldog on the slowly rising Azurine. Vebbins bounces off the canvas and flops to her back. She reaches up to her face and curls into a fetal position. Keira rolls over then quickly crawls towards the downed Vebbins and rolls her up for a three count but Azurine is able to force her shoulder up before Jasmine can even count the three. Keira sits back on her heels and slaps at the mat unhappily then gets to her feet.
Simone: Keira looks frustrated Jason. I suspect she thought she had this match won.
Azurine rolls to the ropes and reaches up to the middle rope to pull herself up to her knees. Keira gets to her feet and moves towards Azurine who pushes herself up to her feet then towards Keira. Azurine is caught by Keira but manages to twist through the hold then Azurine catches the neck of Keira and hits a neckbreaker that has Keira grabbing her head in pain and kicking at the mat. Azurine sits up slowly as she is slower in the ring. Keira moves to her hands and knees. Vebbins gets to her feet first and then moves towards Keira who pushes herself out of the ring . Keira grabs her ankle and then pulls her off her feet before pulling her out of the ring. Keira pulls Azurine into a headlock against her side but Azurine throws the arm of Keira over her shoulder then hits a snap suplex on Keira that has her arching in pain on the mats on the floor. Azurine rolls over and pulls Keira to her feet to roll her into the ring then climbs in behind her for a pin but only gets a two. Azurine gets to her feet and pulls Keira up as well. Vebbins attempts to pull her in again for a belly to belly suplex but Keira blocks it before turning the hold into a sideslam of her own. Both women lay on the mat breathing heavily as Jasmine checks on both and begins a count. Keira is first to her feet with a hand at her back. Azurine also makes her way out of the ring where she leans against the ring apron to try to recover.
Adams: Smart move by Azurine slowing the pace down to catch her breath.
Simone: I don't think that Keira will be allowing that Jason. Here she comes to grab Vebbins.
Keira reaches over and through the ropes to grab Azurine by the head and pulls her up into the ring. Keira fights to get Azurine into the ring where she is able to pull her up and into a fishermans suplex that Dawn drops to count but Azurine kicks out at two. Keira releases the hold as Azurine rolls to the side. Keira rushes to the corner then climbing the turnbuckles, she straightens up on the top turnbuckle as Azurine slowly gets to her feet. Turning to face the corner where Keira has climbed to the top, Azurine is surprised by a flying Keira who drops her with a crossbody. Keira rolls to her hands and knees quickly as Vebbins moves to roll to the ropes. Azurine pulls herself up slowly as Keira approaches her to grab her by the wrist and whips her into the opposite ropes only to catch her with a kick to the midsection when Vebbins rebounds off the opposite ropes. Keira bounces off the ropes and then hits the neckbreaker that sends Azurine to the mat. Keira gets to her feet and watches as Azurine rolls on the mat and tries to get up to her feet where she staggers slowly. Suddenly, Keira is able to hit her Seven Sins finisher on Vebbins who is sent spinning to the mat near the ropes. Keira moves to roll up Azurine but when she does, Vebbins manages to put her foot on the bottom rope. Keira sits back and then pulls Azurine away from the ropes and once more pins her to the mat.
Simone: Does Keira have enough power to keep Vebbins down?
Jasmine drops to the mat and then begins to count the pin.
Simone: Azurine seems to be struggling hard against the pin but Keira has her leveraged in place.
Azurine is struggling as Keira pulls her legs upward for more leverage.
ONE!
Adams: Azurine is still struggling and it looks like Keira is losing her pin.
TWO!
Adams: She is going to break the pin!
Simone: Keira pulls upward more and forces the shoulders of Vebbins back down to the mat!
THREE!
Adams: She did it, Keira Fisher has pinned Azurine Vebbins for the three.
Keira rolls away from the prone Vebbins who lays on the mat and slams her hands on the canvas in frustration as Jasmine motions for the bell and moves to raise Keira's arm in victory.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Keira Fisher!
Azurine slowly rolls to the side of the ring and then leans against the ring apron as Keira climbs the turnbuckles to celebrate with the fans. Vebbins moves along the aisle and backstage as Keira crosses the ring to climb the turnbuckle on the opposite side to continue the celebration.
We cut to the main deck. The crowd seems to be roaring with excitement and it isn't long before we can hear the voice of someone across the speakers. It's one that the fans definitely know and begin to mark out like no tomorrow.
Diamond: Is this thing on... It certainly has been a while hasn't it?! Anyway nobody really expected anything out for four women from the UK but we have brought that flavor over to Las Vegas like none other, and right now we are definitely invading this Cruise Ship with a mega announcement! So strap on tightly because we proudly represent only the best of the best from the UK. I come to you live made up of Half English and Half Scottish.
Ruby: And I am made up of Half English and Half Welsh!!! That English part from London of course!
Sapphire: Bloody hell! Who let Diamond get a microphone... MANCHESTER AND WALES IS MY HOME!!!!
Emerald: And one hundred percent Scottish! We are the Gem Stones!!!!!!
Diamond: AND WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!
All of a sudden music begins to be played loudly as each woman appears with their instrument. They begin to be playing loudly. Diamond runs out as she has a wireless microphone on along with her guitar on. Ruby looks the same except she has a Bass Guitar with the wireless headset.
Diamond: DIAMONDDDDDDDDD..... The music is CONTAGIOUS!!!!
Ruby: And SHE'S SO...SO...SO... OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!
The crowd seems to be digging the concert as much as they possibly can. The two Steele cousins finally make it to the ring where they are welcomed by the UK fans that came aboard the cruise.
Ruby: OMG DO YOU HEAR THAT POP TONIGHT... I can see those UK FLAGS WAVING PROUDLY... CLEARLY it would be so OUTRAGEOUS to think that all of you would be here for me tonight. I mean you are probably here to see Mark Ward drink a couple at the bar or maybe it might have something to do with our World Champion being a BRIT!
HOT STUFF!
HOT STUFF!
HOT STUFF!
MARK CROSS!
MARK CROSS!
MARK CROSS!
Ruby: OUTRAGEOUS!!!! You know my mentor Mikah would tell you that SHE is his favorite and....
The crowd begins to boo at the sound of Mikah, Ruby just quickly shakes her head.
Ruby: Hey be nice! That's my mentor... If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be a wrestler...
Diamond: AHEM!!!!!
Ruby: Okay so maybe watching my big cousin wrestle probably has a lot to do with me wanting to wrestle. Anyway I see a lot of people from the UK on this ship and I told everyone that I had an announcement I wanted to make on this ship. It could have been made in Vegas but isn't everyone sick of just us being in Vegas?! I know this is SCW after all we are Vegas based but seeing everyone here tonight... This is wrestling. This is what we are about!
Ruby shrugs her shoulders as she continues to speak.
Ruby: Anyway I know things have seemed weird this last cycle. I was completely a ghost after I dropped the ball against Amber Ryan. Going into that match I just wasn't myself. I know all of you are used to me screaming OUTRAGEOUS over and over again. However I had nothing to say in that match. I took an L after losing it all against Amber Ryan. After that match I wasn't booked and things just seemed to be dark on my end. Truth be told I had some family things going on in my life. One of my closest family members have passed away and I wasn't the same. I didn't show up on any part of this cycle and I am sorry.
Ruby shakes her head as she speak some more.
Ruby: Since that time it seemed like Jet City South was just a dying thing. My girlfriend Courtney wasn't around. Nobody from the school was around and it left me to do some thinking. I have an announcement when it comes to me... After doing some soul searching... I want everybody to know in SCW that it's time for things to be... completely, and utterly, and over the top.... OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Because Jet City South will live through me!!!! My lovely girlfriend Courtney will be my manager and it will definitely be a fun time indeed. So strap up because the Gem Stones are only just beginning!
With that the Gem Stones continue to play with excitement as the crowd roars with cheers for them as we go elsewhere.
We come in to a poolside table where GRIME General Manager, Gianni Di Luca is seen lounging in a chair next to his wife, Veronica. She is taking a selfie on her phone, showing off the beautifully dressed tropical mixed drink as Gianni is simply air drying after a dip in the pool. His eyes are closed in the setting sun when we hear footsteps approaching. Masked members Rainbow, Orchid, Celeste, and Jade approach. Jade takes Veronica's phone out of her hand and slides it across the deck as she scoffs.
Orchid: Beat it, princess.
Veronica opens her mouth to speak as Rainbow, Jade, Orchid, and Celeste drop chains from their sleeves. Gianni sighs as Veronica stomps her foot.
Veronica: You owe me...
Gianni nods as Veronica goes to retrieve her phone. Rainbow takes a seat in Veronica's place, and Jade sits down next to her.
Gianni: This coulda been a nice evening of peace and happiness. I'm sittin' here thinkin' about who would look good on the GRIME roster, but ya had to come bully my wife.
Rainbow: You called us here. She's not a member of the roster. She has no business hearing what we're talking about and sticking her nose in our business.
Gianni holds a finger up to speak, but Orchid and Celeste shake their heads in the negative. He rolls his eyes and goes in a different direction.
Gianni: Tonight, it becomes official that SCU is no more, and GRIME Wrestling takes over. There's just one little catch to all of this...
Rainbow: And what would that be?
Gianni: Your little vendetta against Omasa. I tried to move around it, but Erik Staggs overruled. He said that if Omasa don't show up for that fight against you, then GRIME doesn't take control. It's simple as that. Now, I got the feeling that she ain't gonna show up.
Rainbow clenches her fists angrily, but Gianni holds a hand up to stop her from blowing up. He turns to sit on the edge of the lounge chair, facing Rainbow.
Gianni: So, I ain't the best mathematician, but seems like there's four of ya's, and one of her. What if ya goons was to "persuade" her to come out to the ring for that match? Beat her ass, do whatever ya want, but make the fight happen. Drag her out there if ya got to. All ya gotta do is get her in the ring, and we Gucci.
Orchid: That's it? Sounds easy enough. Don't worry, Rainbow. We got this.
Rainbow: As long as I get my hands on that bitch, I don't care. Make it happen.
And with that, Rainbow gets up from her seat. Jade follows, playing enforcer. As they walk off, Celeste and Orchid flank them. Gianni grins widely as we go elsewhere on the ship.
Justin: The following match is for the Mixed Tag Team Championships!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.
5
4
3
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: Introducing first, wrestling out of Los Angeles, California and weighing in at 125 pounds, "The Cat" Seleana Zdunich!
Adams: So what has Seleana gotten herself into this time?
Simone: Probably a beating. She's a tough competitor but she's never faced anything like Tempest before!
Adams: Do you think she can mesh with Milo tonight?
Simone: Even if she does, she still has to survive Tempest and I do not see that happening.
"Firestarter" by The Prodigy starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. 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: Her tag team partner, from Manchester, United Kingdom, weighing in at 185 pounds, this is Miles "Milo" Kasey!
Adams: Now we see how well this really is going to go!
Simone: The heavy hitters haven't arrived yet...
The heavy beat of Halestorm's "You Call Me a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing" kicks up over the sound system and the heads of the SCW Universe turns towards the entrance as the Bombshell amazon Tempest walks out onto the stage.
Justin: Coming to the ring! From Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing two hundred and eighteen pounds -- Tempest!
The fans are in awe at the size of Tempest as she wastes no time in power walking straight to the ring, her eyes never straying from her destination and paying no mind to the fans reaching out toward her. A perpetual frown on her face, she arrives at the ringside area where she climbs up onto the ring apron and straight inside of the ring. Tempest stands in the center of the ring, her arms held out and turns full circle before moving to her corner.
Adams: Well, there's heavy hitter number one!
Simone: Yes she is...
The lights shut off as "A conversation with death" by Khemmis kicks in, as it builds different lights flash around the arena. As the song builds into the refrain and the guitars kick in a spotlight forms on the stage with Austin standing in the middle. He makes his way down to the ring before moving around to the steps, he makes his way up and walks across the apron before stepping between the ropes, he stands in the center of the ring as the music shuts off
Justin: and her partner, from Manhattan, New York, he weighs in at 265 pounds, this is Austin James Mercer!
Adams: And there's heavy hitter number two!
Simone: Now we see!
Adams: This seems like a mismatch on paper.
Simone: It is but that can be said for nearly any match that Tempest is in! That woman is a massive force of nature!
Adams: And Mercer and Milo?
Simone: That's the kind of styles clash fans live for!
DING DING DING!
Seleana and Milo have a discussion in their corner and Seleana starts to go out to start. Milo starts to shake his head but Seleana keeps walking. Milo follows her out as Tempest and Austin James Mercer match on from the other side. Mercer nods to Tempest and steps out to their corner. Tempest marches over as Seleana and Milo continue to discuss things amongst themselves. Tempest starts to run and smashes into Seleana from behind with a big lariat. Seleana crashes forward into Milo, sending him into the ropes. Tempest grabs Seleana and picks her bodily around the waist. Tempest swings Seleana around like a human baseball bat and the Swede's legs drill her own partner in the face knocking Milo through the ropes out onto the apron. Tempest swings Seleana and hurls her towards the center of the ring. Seleana hits hard and Tempest runs over for a big splash for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
SELEANA KICKS OUT!
Tempest cracks Seleana in the face with a punch and then stands up, dragging the Swedish woman up by her hair. Tempest scoops Seleana up and military presses her high above her head. The giant woman lowers Seleana and then presses her a second, third and fourth time. On the fifth rep, Tempest turns and tosses Seleana into a body slam. Seleana lands hard and Tempest covers her.
ONE!
TWO!
SELEANA GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Adams: Austin said this would happen, that Tempest would eat Seleana alive!
Simone: It would appear this was a poor decision on Seleana's part.
Adams: What does she need to do to turn things around?
Simone: Tag.... and pray.
Tempest angrily drags Seleana up and starts to set for the Implant Buster. Seleana tries to pull Tempest down for an inside cradle but Tempest is able to block it and pull her back up to her feet by the hair again. Tempest looks at Seleana incredulously and kicks her in the gut. Seleana starts to double over but Tempest maintains her grip on the Swedish woman's blonde hair and refuses to allow her to go down. Tempest punches Seleana in the gut with her free hand. Her left hand holding up Seleana, Tempest pulls her in, growls in her face and then smashes her right fist into Seleana's stomach again. Seleana's knees start to buckle but still, Tempest refuses to let her just crumple to the mat. Tempest pulls Seleana in and snaps off an exploder suplex. Seleana hits hard and Tempest covers again.
ONE!
TWO!
SELEANA GETS A SHOULDER UP!
z Tempest drags her up angrily and puts Selana up into a fireman's carry. Tempest swings around and hits the Fireman's Carry Stunner. Tempest covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NO!
SELEANA GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Tempest looks up, shocked and angered that Seleana is able to keep going. Tempest looks at Mercer and shakes her head, pounding the mat with frustration. The giant Amazon starts to stand up, almost shaking with rage. Seleana starts up and makes it to her knees before Tempest grabs her by the hair again. As Tempest looks to pull her up, Seleana rears back and hits En Kristen Rättighet to Tempest's crotch. The crowd collectively shudders at the sight as the big woman's eyes go wide in both shock and pain. Tempest staggers and then falls to her knees, absolutely stunned.
Adams: My God!
Simone: That redwood's coming down...
Adams: Look at Austin and Milo are both shocked too!
Simone: They're probably both glad that wasn't them right there...
Tempest collapses to the mat and Seleana staggers up. The crowd cheers as she looks down, nods to herself and runs to the ropes. She rebounds off, runs across the ring and jumps into the Cat's Eye. Seleana holds for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
TEMPEST KICKS OUT!
Seleana rolls away and crawls to her corner. Milo nods frantically, urging her on, his arm outstretched. Seleana makes it, throws herself into it and manages to make the tag. Milo jumps into the ring and runs over, jumping onto the ropes and launching himself into a springboard European uppercut that knocks Mercer off the apron. Milo climbs up onto the corner and jumps down onto Mercer before he can regain his original upright posture. Milo staggers to his feet and almost falls back against the ropes as the crowd cheers him on. Milo rolls back into the ring with Mercer slowly getting to his feet on the floor. Seeing him coming, Milo runs across the ring. Mercer gets to all fours and crawls to the ring. He pulls himself up and rolls into the ring. Milo rebounds off and comes back with a running basement dropkick to the head. Mercer goes down and Milo covers.
ONE!
TWO!
MERCER KICKS OUT!
Milo gets up and runs to the ropes. Mercer starts to sit up. As Milo rebounds off, Mercer stands up and catches him coming back for a spinning Double A spinebuster, holding for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
MILO KICKS OUT!
Mercer gets Milo up and snaps off a belly to belly suplex. Milo hits hard and Mercer covers him.
ONE!
TWO!
MILO KICKS OUT!
As Mercer sits up, Seleana runs across the ring and all but tackles Tempest. Tempest holds onto Seleana and the two women tumble to the floor. Mercer starts to look over to see what was going on and Milo pulls him into an inside cradle.
ONE!
TWO!
MERCER KICKS OUT!
As they both start up, Mercer goes for a clothesline and Milo hooks the arm, swinging up into a crucifix pin.
ONE!
TWO!
MERCER KICKS OUT!
They both start to get up and Milo tries for a backslide. Mercer overpowers him and gets him into the backslide himself.
ONE!
TWO!
MILO KICKS OUT!
Adams: Milo and Mercer are trading pin attempts like they've done this a million times before in practice!
Simone: How do you know they haven't?
Milo jumps up and hits a dropkick that sends Mercer staggers back to the ropes. Milo runs over and hits a knee strike to the face. Mercer starts to slump and Milo rolls him into a cradle again.
ONE!
TWO!
MERCER KICKS OUT!
Milo rises and runs across the ring. He rebounds off the ropes and comes running back. Mercer gets to his feet and Milo runs him into the ropes for an O'Connor roll.

Milo rises and runs across the ring again. He rebounds off and comes back across the ring. Mercer stands and catches him coming in for the elevation into the Legacy Bomb. Mercer covers, almost falling into it.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Adams: Champions retain but they had to work way harder to do it than anyone thought was coming here tonight!
Simone: You can say that again! I don't think anyone thought Seleana was going to survive Tempest, much less that team getting as close as they did!
Justin: Your winners and STILL Mixed Tag Team Champions... TEMPEST & AUSTIN JAMES MERCER!
An impromptu interview set has been established and Holly Wood sits in one of the "director" style chairs.
Holly: Ladies and Gentlemen, help me welcome at this time the challenger for the Men's World Title, Mac Bane!
The crowd pops for the big Texan as he enters the set.
Mac Bane: Thanks Holly.
The two shake hands and Mac takes a seat next to her.
Holly: You may not be aware but you've created quite a stir.
Bane looks at her, obviously confused, and so she explains.
Holly: One of the fans captured some video of you and one of our passengers in a really sweet moment and that video has gone viral.
Mac shakes his head.
Mac Bane: I hope that's a good thing?
Holly smiles at him and nods her head.
Holly: It is, showing compassion and understanding is always a good thing Mac. It was a very sweet moment and one I think you should be proud of. You seemed to react out of instinct. Was there something in your past that made it possible for you to know what to do?
He returned the smile and nodded his head.
Mac Bane: Yes ma'am. A few years ago, my nephew AJ passed away....
He pauses there for a moment, obviously fighting the lump in his throat.
Mac Bane: AJ was on the spectrum for Autism but was also MR. He fought seizures as well. Even being on medication for them wasn't enough.
He stops there as he appears to be overcome with grief. Holly lays a hand gently on his arm.
Holly: So, your interactions with your nephew led to you knowing how to handle that situation. Still, it was an unexpected moment for many. You have a reputation in the business that made it unexpected I suppose.
Mac chuckles at the statement.
Mac Bane: I suppose I do, but that doesn't mean I'm heartless. Well, outside the ring anyway.
Holly: Then let's talk about inside the ring and your match tonight against Mark Cross. I think many believed you weren't really ready for this stage and when you so quickly agreed to put your internet title on the line in order to get a shot at the world champ. Well, it raised a lot of eyebrows in the company.
Mac Bane: Holly, if you know my reputation in the industry then this shouldn't have surprised you. I am an opportunist and a risk taker. I've been reckless to the point of no return so many times. I will always do the risky thing when the reward is of equal value or as it is in this case, greater.
Holly: That being said, what does life without a title look like for Mac Bane? Should you lose...
Bane smiled a somewhat feral smile.
Mac Bane: The same as it does with one. Nothing changes for me Holly. Unlike Mark, I'm not going to jump ship so to speak if I lose under any circumstance. The real point, Holly, is I don't plan on losing under any set of circumstances. I plan on being a fixture in Sin City for years to come.
She smiles and nods along at what I'm saying.
Holly: Ladies and gentlemen that's all we have time for, thank you Mac for making time for us today.
Simone: Before we get set for our next match of the evening, I'm being told we have some special footage from earlier in the week.
Adams: Ooh! Special footage! I wonder what it could be?!
Simone: Well let's find out, Jason...
The big screen suddenly lights up and all eyes dart to the screen to witness just what footage Belinda was referring to. It seems to be video footage shot from a cell phone, or just by an amateur, as the camera is shaky and just recording most of the surroundings. It shows the pool area of the Sun Princess Cruise liner, where a small crowd of fans have gathered and others are splashing in the pool. Upon closer look, everyone sees that the fun-loving plus-sized Bombshell, Bobbie Dahl, is at pool side along with her future hubby, Artie.
While Artie is wearing a pair of swimming shorts and covered in an exorbitant amount of sunscreen, Bobbie has on a one-piece swimming suit that, of course, puts her "ladies" on full display. How she has them even secured in that swimming suit is a wonder. After signing a few autographs and snapping a few selfies with some of her fans, Bobbie kicks off her flip flops, takes a few steps back and a huge grin appears on her face.
Artie: Bobbie...I don't think that's a good idea...
Bobbie: Oh who cares, honey?! I WANNA GET WET!
All eyes turn in her direction as she cups her hands around her mouth and proceeds to bellow out her warning call.
Bobbie: CANNONBALL!!!!!
And without further warning Bobbie trots forward and then proceeds to jump into the pool, making an enormous splash with her cannonball! Artie shakes his head and everyone around the pool laughs, but all in good fun. Once the water settles, and the camera focuses on Bobbie in the middle of the pool talking to a few fans, her head darts up. The camera turns in the direction she's looking to see none other than The Troll staring wide-eyed at her! Bobbie looks around and then right at The Troll.
Bobbie: What the hell are YOU looking at?!
As he stands there frozen and unable to answer, who should walk by just at the right moment? The White Wolf, Fenris! He looks at The Troll, then at Bobbie in the pool and quickly responds.
Fenris: Your left one is hanging out!
And he walks away without another word. Bobbie looks down and indeed, her left "lady" has burst out of her swimming suit. She immediately covers it up and then sinks lower into the water, although not embarrassed. She's more interested in breaking that gaze coming from The Troll! As she turns her back on him, and faces Artie, who is more embarrassed than she, the camera suddenly cuts to black.
Simone: I...What the hell did we just watch?!
Adams: That is not an image I wanted burned into my brain for the rest of my life! WHERE WAS THE DAMN WARNING?!
Simone: I am at a loss for words right now...
Justin: Our next match is a Standard Rules Singles match. First to make his way to the ring, originally from Utrecht, The Netherlands, but currently from New York City, standing in at six feet four inches and two hundred thirty-nine pounds, please welcome GOTH!!!
Darkside by Gothminister blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring, he is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira who is wearing her usual Goth dress. Goth stops halfway along the platform and stares at the crowd who are booing him. Goth grins at them then he continues walking toward the ring where he and Sapphira enter the ring. Goth walks around the ring to play the crowd and they get louder in their booing. Goth stops when he returns to where Sapphira is located and she removes the robe from Goth. Without his robe on we see he is wearing black leather pants, black boots, he has taped fists, and he is wearing a belt that has a metal skull on the buckle. Goth motions for Sapphira to exit the ring and take her place at ringside then Both leans back into a corner and he glares up at the entrance area waiting for Brayden Hilton
Justin: Next to make his way to the ring, from Detroit, Michigan, standing in at five feet ten inches and one hundred eighty pounds, please welcome BRAYDEN HILTON!!!
Forever by Drake begins to blast across the speakers and as it does Brayden Hilton, along with his twin sister Brittany Williams, emerge from the backstage area and the two walk out on the platform. Brayden smiles as the crowd welcomes the siblings with an ovation of loud boos. He flips them off as he quickly sprints towards the ring with Brittany close behind him. Brayden doesn't hesitate to slide right inside the ring where he kips up to his feet then he holds his arm proudly in the air before he does a back flip. The crowd continues booing and that is when Brittany begins to mouth off to them. She flips them off before she turns her attention to her brother inside of the ring and claps for him. Brayden bounces around a bit before he lays down across the ropes showcasing that he is bored while staring down Goth.
Adams: It appears we are going to have a clash of the egos match between these two. Even with their huge egos and difference in ages I have to give the advantage to Goth having six inches of height and nearly sixty pounds of weight advantage over Brayden.
Simone: How many times do we have to go over this height and weight thing? You know having more height and weight over your opponent doesn't always equate into a win for the larger wrestler. Also you are trying to give an edge to Goth for his many years of experience but I give the edge to Brayden who is younger and represents the future of wrestling. This should prove to be a great match.
Referee Dawn Barnes calls Goth and Brayden to join her in the center of the ring where she runs down the rules of this match and she informs them she will be strict to enforce the rules. After checking both wrestlers to ensure they are both clean of foreign objects of substances she sends the two back to their corners and she tells them to start the action of the match when the Timekeeper rings the bell.
Simone: I wonder if Goth has Sapphira in his corner to stir up trouble with Brittany to try to distract Brayden and cause him a loss.
Adams: Will you stop with your conspiracy theories! Over the career of Goth it is known that Sapphira has rarely started incidents at ringside when she attends Goth to his matches. She has defended herself when attacked by Managers and Valets of Goth's opponents. I hope both Sapphira and Brittany remain in their corners and not get into a fight at ringside otherwise Security will likely be called and both will be dragged backstage.
DING DING DING!
When the bell rings Goth and Brayden come out of their corners. While Brayden comes across the ring aggressively we notice Goth, who has way more experience in the ring, takes it cautiously. Brayden decides to challenge Goth by requesting a test of strength to open the match. Goth rolls his eyes not believing what he is seeing from Brayden but he reaches out and the two lock hands. As anticipated the larger wrestler, Goth, gets the leverage advantage and he forces Brayden down to his knees. Brayden tries to get up but he is unable to overcome the downward force Goth is placing on him. Brayden quickly lunges forward hitting Goth in the midsection with a head butt. Although the head butt was hard Goth does not release his grasp on the hands of Brayden. This time when Brayden attempts a head butt to Goth again we see Goth move back to avoid another head butt but this causes the head of Brayden to smack into the groin of Goth and this causes Goth to release his grip on Brayden. Referee Dawn Barnes issues a warning to Brayden for the illegal maneuver but Brayden proclaims his innocence claiming had Goth not moved backward he would have hit his head butt into Goth's stomach. Referee Barnes isn't buying Brayden's explanation so she re-stated if illegal behavior continues she will gladly considering issuing a disqualification. Brayden again protests and this time Brittany yells out her protest from ringside and Referee Barnes asks her to quiet down.
Simone: Wow! All I can say is wow! How can a Referee issue a warning and a threat of disqualification for an accidental thing during a match?
Adams: If the Referees always accepted the explanations of wrestlers, instead of adhering to the rules against illegal moves and holds, then every time a wrestler deliberately does something illegal they will claim it was an accident to get away with it. That cannot happen in the sport of wrestling and I admire Referee Barnes for being strict on the rules.
Sapphira launches into a complaint about the low blow delivered by Brayden on Goth. Referee Dawn Barns yells over to Sapphira to shut up as she already took care of the situation and then Referee Barnes tells Sapphira if she continues to disrupt the match she will either send Sapphira backstage or consider a disqualification on Goth for her interference. This causes Sapphira to return to her seat but the look on her face and her body language tells us she's extremely upset right now. Referee Barnes turns and she sees Goth and Brayden locking up again. This time Goth uses his height and weight to drive Brayden into the corner where he has him trapped in the corner. Referee Barnes steps in to demand a break from Goth who takes his hands off Brayden just long enough for it to be declared a legal break then he grabs hard onto Brayden again. This time it is Brittany to issue a complaint to the Referee for allowing Goth to keep Brayden in the corner. Dawn Barnes looks over at Brittany and tells her that Goth is legally breaking when asked and he maintains the break long enough to be classified as a legal break and then he is allowed to continue the action of the match. Referee Barnes adds to Brittany that if she also continues interrupting the match she will either send Brittany backstage or consider a disqualification on Brayden. This quiets Brittany down but her facial expression and body language also tells us she is extremely upset at this time.
Adams: Both wrestlers are in jeopardy of a disqualification if their corner person doesn't calm down.
Simone: That would be hilarious to have Referee Barnes send both Sapphira and Brittany backstage due to their complaining and then issue a double disqualification on Goth and Brayden.
Adams: Oh wouldn't you love that! If a double disqualification were to be issued then you wouldn't have to endure watching your favorite boy Brayden suffer the loss to Goth.
Simone: I believe Brittany and Sapphira will behave from here on.
Satisfied that the Referee declares his breaks as legal Goth continues his assault on Brayden. Although many of the blows are landing Brayden is effective in deflecting the others and he is fighting back to work on getting out of the corner. While Goth is blocking Brayden's attempts to exit the corner, we see Brittany get up on the ring apron and reach under the ropes and grab onto the leg of Goth pulling hard to keep him from moving. Referee Barnes issues a warning to Brittany and she releases her hold on Goth and returns to her seat at ringside. Goth is upset at the actions by Brittany so he picks Brayden up and sits him on the top ropes in the corner. Goth reaches up and he is trying to grab onto Brayden to launch him off the corner ropes. Brayden keeps blocking those attempts and Goth is getting frustrated. As Goth approaches Brayden again we see Brayden land a hard kick to the face of Goth that causes Goth to stop and step back a few steps. Goth rushes into the corner to again be kicked in the face by Brayden again causing him to step back several steps. Although Sapphira is complaining about the kicks to the face of Goth she doesn't get the attention of Referee Barnes who allows the action to continue. Goth massages his face then he starts to run into the corner again but Brayden launches himself off the top of the corner and lands a Missile Dropkick to Goth dropping him to the mat. Brayden gets to his feet and waits for Goth to start to get up and when he is partially to his feet Brayden hits him with a Shining Wizard and goes for the pin.
Simone: This is the end of Goth in this match.
Adams: Noooo!
ONE!
TWO!
Goth shoves Brayden off him to the side. Goth then slides ou8t of the ring to the arena floor where Sapphira meets up with him and the two enter into a strategy conversation. Brayden slams his fists on the mat knowing he was one count away from the win in this match. Brayden makes his way to his corner where Brittany gets up on the ring apron and the two also enter into a strategy conversation. Referee Dawn Barnes begins a count on Goth who is outside the ring.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Goth and Sapphira end their conversation and Goth starts toward the ring. On the other side of the ring Brayden and Brittany continue their conversation in their corner.
FIVE!
SIX!
Goth climbs the ring steps and then he steps onto the ring apron where he walks down the ropes a bit before stepping through the ropes into the ring thereby stopping the count Referee Barnes was doing on him.
Adams: With the experience Goth has, and the fact that Brayden and Brittany want to play games and violate the rules, I'm sure Goth is going to go into demonic mode on Brayden.
Simone: Is that the term you are using instead of saying that Goth knows he nearly lost the match and he doesn't know how to handle a wrestler like Brayden?
We can tell Goth is upset and he walks up to Brayden and slaps him across the face. Goth then grabs Brayden by the throat with one hand and lifts him off the mat. Brayden is trying to complain to the Referee that he is being choked but the words are not able to come out of his mouth. Brittany yells to Referee Barnes concerning the choke by Goth but Referee Barnes ignores her and lets the match continue.
Simone: What is going on here? Bias by the Referee against Brayden Hilton?
Adams: More like she wants to allow the match to continue and let it come out as it comes out.
Goth holds Braden off the mat with his grip on Brayden's neck and he backs into a corner. From the way Goth is positioning himself it appears he is planning a maneuver to take Brayden out. Goth drops his arm allowing Brayden's feet to touch the mat so he can stand on his own. Once Braden is standing on his own Goth charges out of the corner but Brittany reaches up and grabs the ankle of Goth so Goth cannot move. Although he is trying to shake off the grasp of Brittany he is unable to do so. As Braden approached him to attack him Goth manages to fend off the blows. At the same time Sapphira runs over to the corner and pulls Brittany away from the corner causing her to lose his grip on Goth's ankle.
Adams: Goth escaped the grasp of Brayden again.
Simone: Don't get your hopes up.
Goth starts to get to his feet when Braden slams his knee into Goth's face which drops Goth to the mat face first. Brayden drops down on top of Goth and locks him up in a Cross Face submission. They are in far away from the ropes so Goth cannot reach the ropes for a break. Referee Dawn Barnes steps up to ask Goth if he wants to submit and he grunts out a NO so she lets the match continue. After a short time Brayden cinches up on the hold and this time when Referee Barnes steps in to ask Goth if he wants to submit he does and Referee Barnes calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Adams: Darn!
Simone: You can say that again.
Adams: Darn!
Braden Hilton releases the hold and steps off to the side to await the official decision on the match.
Justin: Here is the winner of this match, by submission, BRAYDEN HILTON!!!
Referee Barnes raises the hand of Brayden for the win and when she releases his hand he quickly exits the ring, meets up with Brittany, and the two head into the backstage area. Goth maneuvers out of the ring to meet up with Sapphira and the two slowly make their way to the backstage area.

Justin Decent: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome, former three time SCW Bombshells champion, The Strong Style Southern Belle...ALLLICIA LUKAS
Spiritbox's "circle with me" hits and there's a mixed reaction from the crowd in attendance. Alicia steps out wearing street clothes of skinny black jeans with a few tears, a red and black wolfslair shirt, her hair down and in her hand a pair of black wrestling boots. She makes her way down to the ring and looks around before getting onto the apron and taking a deep breath lightly touching the top rope.
Adams: There has been alot of speculation about Alicia and what she has been building to. Bugt her comments about Keira Fischer Johnson and her loss have rubbed people the wrong way
Simone: I don't think Alicia cares Jason...
Adams: Well she should, she was supposed to be a locker room leader and now she seems like she's going to retire and quit because her ego can't take a loss, it's pathetic and sad and not worthy of respect...
Simone: Well damn tell us how you really feel.
Her music dies down and Alicia grabs a mic still hyolding her boots in her other hand.
Alicia Lukas: So, I'm not going to take up to much of your time, but Christian Underwood and Mark Ward have graciously given me some time to address you all and everyone watching at home. See, I have had time to think over the last few months about my spot in SCW. About where I fit in this company and the bombshells division...and one thing that has always stuck in my mind is that I have always criticised those who stick around to long and overstay their welcome...
She lowers the mic for a second and clears her throat.
Alicia Lukas: I have run down Mercedes Vargas, Jessie Salco, Roxi Johnson and others for not realising when it was time to change, adapt or move aside. And I'm not going to be one of those people, I'm not going to stay treading water and just stand around and be happy to have a job. If I can't be the major player I once was, how I am...then I can't do this anymore....so.....
Adams: What is she doing?
Alicia slowly bends down and lays her boots in the middle of the ring, she lowers the mic and swallows hard looking forlorn, her hands shake as she moves them to her face and tries to keep the tears in.
Simone: I...guess she really is done, I thought this was all talk....but I think we've just lost one of the best Bombshells of all time
Adams: I suppose so, I don't like her attitude or her reasons for leaving, but this is a sad day for the division and the whole company....
The crowd in attendance starts to chant "thank you Alicia" She nods and looks around before kissing her fingers and putting them up to thew crowd. She puts her hand on her heart and mouths "I love all of you".But as she moves over to the ropes there is a voice.
Courtney Pierce: Whoa hold up
Adams: Courtney Pierce?...she was one of Alicias last opponents....
Simone: I wonder why she's out here....this is Alicias moment...
Courtney shakes her head and moves down to the ring, Alicia moves back to the center and folds her arms waiting..
Courtney Pierce: You really doing this? Really? The great Alicia Lukas, retiring because she lost a few matches? And not just retiring but doing it out here, alone?. Come on Ali....atleast let me say a few things...
Alicia gives her a nod and Courtney gets in the ring with her.
Courtney Pierce: When I came back to SCW, I saw you, I saw who you were and I looked at everything you'd done. Ruby talked about how much she respected you, she told me about how you went to war with Crystal, Kate, Seleana, Brittany. The extended family. She told me how despite it all the entire family respected you. And I did too. Then I saw it up close in matches....and, if this really is your goodbye....then I want to come out here and shake your hand and say thank you...
Courtney holds out her hand, Alicia looks at it and back up at her before giving Courtney a nod and taking it, Alicia then smiles and pulls Courtney into a quick hug. The crowd cheers and Alicia pulls back and mouths "Thank you". Courtney nods and goes to leave.
Simone: At least someone has respect for Alicia Lu-...WAITWHAT?
Alicia suddenly grabs Courtney by the wrist as she goes to leave, she lifts her up and hits a Georgia drop!. Courtney drops to the mat out cold as Alicia's expression changes, her eyes seem to seethe with anger and she shakes her head slowly as the crowd boos heavily..
Alicia Lukas: Adapt....or...perish...
Simone: ....What is she doing?
Adams: I...I don't know...I'm in shock here Belinda
Alicia slides from the ring and grabs a steel chair, she slides back in the ring and opens the chair before placing it around Courtneys bad ankle. Alicia then climbs to the second rope, the crowd boos again and officials run down as well as Ruby Steele!
Ruby Steele: Wait!!! Don't do this Alicia... Please!!! She just came back...Fight me not her... Please!!!!!!
Alicia gives a small nod to Ruby as if hearing her pleas, she then looks back up with an evil smirk and leaps off the second rope stomping on the chair breaking Courneys ankle!. Alicia then slides from the ring as Ruby slides in and crawls to Courtney cradling her as she screams..
Adams: THIS IS SICK! SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT HERE NOW AND HELP COURTNEY
Alicia backs up the entranceway looking back at the carnage in the ring as officials and medical staff make their way down to the ring as Ruby shakes her head yelling up at Alicia.
Justin Decent: The following match is scheduled for one fall...introducing first
The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out..
Justin Decent: Now in the ring, standing 5'6 and weighing in at 132 pounds, from Tapa Florida, she is a former SCW bombshells champion....ROOOOOOXI JOOOHNSON
The arena goes dark as red strobe lights begin to shine. A Japanese Flag appears on the screen as "Whistle" suddenly begins to play over the sound system. A big man steps out from behind the curtain followed by two women. The crowd seems confused as he steps to the side and Char Kwan takes center stage with her hair in a large braid. Her eyes are narrowed towards the ring while completely ignoring the crowd altogether.
Justin Decent:And her opponent....Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Mr. Chalmers and Kiara, from Walnut Creek, California by way of Kyoto, Japan. She is the self proclaimed "Japanese Siren" Char Kwan.
Char Kwan walks down the ramp with her entourage as the crowd is really letting her know how they feel about her. She ignores them while walking right up to the ring. She hops up onto the ring apron, waits for Mr. Chalmers before leaping over the ring ropes. She walks to the furthest corner, climbing onto the turnbuckles and holding up a Flag behind her that shows Japan on one side and South Korea on the other. She shouts profanity at the crowd in Japanese before hopping down and leaning against the turnbuckle. Mr. Chalmers takes the flag from Char while giving her more advice.
DING DING DING!
And we're off as Roxi and Char stare each other down from across the ring. The fans on the Sun princess hyped to see the superhero Roxi Johnson. They lock up, Roxi drops down and grabs Char by the leg and takes her down before rolling her over and floating over to a headlock, Char stands up and backs up into the ropes and shoots Roxi off, Roxi comes back and ducks under a leapfrog, Char turns and goes to hip toss Roxi but Roxi front flips out of it and lands on her feet before turning around and arm dragging Char, Char rolls and gets up before pulling Roxi down into a side headlock on the ground, Roxi hooks Char with a head scissors, Char kips up out of it and the two women come face to face much to the delight of the crowd who appreciate the effort and technical aspect
Adams: Roxi and Char seem to be pretty equal on the ground, but the early stages of this match are competitive
Simone: Roxi Johnson is a former champion, a dominant name in this company and a woman who should be a half of famer multiple times over...she should end Char
Adams: Char is holding her own so far, it's not surprising, she's underrated
They go to lock up again, but this time Char breaks away and hits Roxi with a hard right, she grabs Roxi and starts to slam in knees to her chest and stomach as Roxi covers up. Char pushes Roxi back then leaps up hitting a leaping leg lariat. Char pops up and throws her hands out to the side waiting for Roxi to get up to hit another high impact move. She kicks Roxi in the stomach and runs up the turnbuckle with Roxi in a front headlock before hitting a Tornado DDT!. Roxi gets spiked on the mat, Char turns and goes for a pin hooking Roxi's outside leg.
ONE!
TWO!
Roxi kicks out. Char stays on the attack realising.she needs to keep Roxi on the defensive, she pulls the former champion up by her red hair and snaps her down into one of the most devastating moves known to mankind, and one of Chars signatures. A chinlock!. Roxi is in trouble now folks.
Simone: Oh no! A chinlock!, it's so hard to get out of that, will Roxi tap?
Adams: Why do you sound so sarcastic?
Roxi reaches out and turns rolling to her feet, she hits Char in the stomach over and over again before picking her up and slamming her down with a belly to back suplex. Char holds her back and rolls away as Roxi pulls herself up, Char slides from the ring as Roxi approaches her to create distance and get to the floor, Roxi grabs the top rope and launches herself up and over to the floor with a crossbody landing on Char outside the ring. Roxi pulls Char up and runs her back first into the apron before lifting her into the ring and Char rolls further to the center, Roxi looks up at the ropes, she slides in and goes for the Reality Bites!. She bounces off the second rope but Char gets her knees up!. Roxi holds her ribs and slides away as Char pulls herself to the ropes and pulls herself up .
Simone: Roxi went for it all and Char was able to stop it. But now she needs to capitalise on it
Adams: Roxi has hurt ribs after that....
Char runs at Roxi and leaps up hitting a hurricanrana, she snaps Roxi over and across the ring, Roxi rolls and gets up looking dazed, Char backs it up and hits a cartwheel enzuguri! Roxi eats it and drops to her knees obviously out of it now after that shot, Char looks around and hits the ropes before hitting a basement dropkick that sends Roxi from the ring to the floor, Char pops up and hits the ropes before throwing herself out of the ring with a suicide dive onto Roxi pushing her back and into the barricade. The fans oo as Char stays on her hitting a few hard forearms and running Roxi into the steel post, Roxi drops down and Char grabs her by the hair and the pants before rolling her into the ring and following up with a spinning roundhouse. She covers Roxi again.
ONE!
TWO!
Roxi kicks out. Char slams her fist on the mat looking frustrated getting in the face of the referee who holds up two fingers yet again. This is a mistake as it gives Roxi time to recover. Char turns and shakes her head before calling for the Kyoto salute. She pulls Roxi up the rest of the way and hooks her head, but Roi fights out of it and goes for a northern lights picking Char up and over bridging into a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Char kicks out.
Simone: That was very close. Char looked to be in control, but due to her frustrations at Roxi kicking out she left her follow up a little too long
Adams: Roxi was able to capitalise, but Char isn't done yet, she kicked out of that northern lights suplex fast.
Roxi is first to her feet, she kicks Char in the stomach and spins her around lifting her up and planting Char with a blue thunder powerbomb. Char bounces off the mat and Roxi rolls back before hitting the ropes and going for the reality bites again, Char rolls under Roxi but Roxi is able to land on her feet instead of crash and burn, Char gets to her feet and hits a spinning heel kick to Roxi's midsection, she then grabs Roxi for the scissored DDT again, Roxi is able to spin out of it and hooks Char for her own DDT dropping down and spiking her into the mat. Both women lay there for a moment exhausted, Roxi rolls over throwing her arm on Char.
ONE!
TWO!
Char kicks out!. Roxi shakes her head seemingly in shock as she rolls over and starts to pull herself up, she looks to the corner and drags Char close to it grabbing the top rope, she goes for her split legged moonsault that she calls the superstar press, Char reaches up and grabs Roxi's ankle as she leaps in the air, this causes Roxi to fall straight back down face first onto the top turnbuckle. Char pulls Roxi back into the middle of the ring and tries to set Roxi up for a spinning neckbreaker, Roxi goes with the momentum, spins and then hits a dropkick taking Char down, she pops up, sprints and is finally able to hit the reality bites flipping back and landing on Char hooking her leg.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner..... Roxi Johnson!
Simone: Roxi has defeated Char Kwan!
Adams: Char put up one hell of a fight but Roxi was just on fire tonight!
The camera opens in the designated "backstage" area, specifically near the catering table. Bobbie Dahl and Artie are found perusing through the various goodies, ready to snack before continuing to watch the show or do whatever it is that they have been doing. As Bobbie places a couple of dessert cakes on her plate, a backstage worker walks up behind her and grabs her attention.
Worker: Excuse me? Miss Dahl?
Bobbie spins around, mouthful of food as she looks at the worker. Before speaking, she finishes chewing and swallows her food, before promptly being handed a wrapped package.
Worker: A gift for you, apparently.
Artie raises a curious eyebrow and Bobbie places her plate on the table, taking the package excitedly.
Bobbie: A gift?! For me?! Who is it from?!
Worker: I was told...it's a secret. Well, enjoy the rest of your night, Miss Dahl!
The backstage worker quickly hurries away as Bobbie shakes the package, trying to figure out what it is. It's wrapped in valentine's like gift wrap and Bobbie looks to Artie.
Artie: Don't look at me. Why would I send you a secret gift?
Bobbie: A secret admirer?! ARTIE I HAVE A SECRET ADMI--
And before Bobbie can finish a loud and audible "YOOHOO!" is heard from several feet away. They both turn in the direction of call and the color suddenly drains from Bobbie's face! The camera turns and who should be waving at her with a big smile on his face and blowing her a kiss? THE TROLL! Yes, he is apparently giving away the fact that it is HE who is her "secret admirer." Artie tries not to crack a smile, and Bobbie looks down at the still wrapped gift in her hand. She suddenly covers her mouth, retches and runs off towards the bathroom as she shoves the gift into Artie's hands!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the GLITTER BOMB match!
The crowd cheers as the camera focuses high above the ring where a briefcase is suspended; then around the ringside area where no less than four ladders have been set up!
The lights softly die down as a countdown clock appears on the screen. Once the clock hits zero, "Stand Up (Remix)" strikes up as a young woman with blonde hair steps through the curtains with an older gentleman and another young woman alongside her. The crowd is mixed with their reactions.
Justin: Making her way to the ring being accompanied by her father Dustin Holt and sister Shelby Holt, from Port Charlotte, Florida. Standing five feet two inches tall and weighing 128 pounds. Please welcome Violet Amelia Holt!
Violet somberly walks down the ramp while whispering to her little sister. She then slides into the ring and throws up a hand gesture which gets people going crazy. She walks to a corner and waits.
Justin: And her opponent...!
The lights dim as pink fog starts to take over the entrance ramp. "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard begins to play over the speakers as the lights brighten up. Pink pyro begins to cascade down from the tron as Candy comes bouncing out holding Fluffy.
Justin: From Malibu Beach, California - Candy!!!
She skips her way down to the ring. Outside the ring, she hands Fluffy to stagehand before getting in the ring and bouncing around some more. Jasmine ensures both women are ready and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
And straight away, Violet approaches candy in the center of the ring with the brightest of smiles and extends her hand in good sportsmanship. The crowd immediately voices its displeasure in warning Candy not to do it! Candy looks out at the crowd on board the Sun Princess as Violet stomps in frustration, then turns back to her and nods encouragingly, crossing her heart.
Adams: Don't do it!
Simone: I know Candy is innocent and naive but even she can't believe Violet is being sincere.
But Candy then smiles and she extends her hand - and Violet legit shakes it. The crowd boos as Violet turns and poses for the fans as a beaming Candy hops up and down and claps. Candy turns around to the crowd -- and Violet pulverizes her from behind, laying her out face-first to the mat! Boos from the crowd rain down as Violet just sneers at them.
Adams: I knew it! I KNEW it!
Simone: We ALL knew it, Jason!
Candy starts to rise to her hands and knees and Violet jumps up and lands square across her back with a senton, flattening her. Violet stands up and over her and she begins to stomp down onto poor Candy, delivering one hard boot after another! Violet then drops to her knees and grabs two big handfuls of Candy's hair and slams her face into the mat again and again! Violet takes two big handfuls of her hair and she begins to rub her face hard back and forth across the mat as Candy's legs kick and she shrieks in pain!
Adams: Ugh! Rug burn! Nasty!
Violet smiles as she stands up, pulling Candy up along with her. Violet grabs her in a front face lock and whips her over with a snap suplex! Violet then stands over her head and steps on her long, brown tresses and grabs her hands and PULLS! Candy screams in pain as Violet tears away at her scalp!
Simone: Violet is actually a very talented wrestler but she is going full out brawling against Candy tonight. She does not just want to defeat her, she wants to hurt her!
Violet laughs at Jasmine who admonishes her about these tactics, even if they are technically legal in this encounter. Violet turns around as a crying Candy starts to get to her hands and feet again - and Violet SLAPS her across the face!
Simone: Oh the insult!
Adams: Poor Candy! Violet is just out to hurt and humiliate her!
Violet turns to her comrades and she beckons for an assist! Shelby and Dustin Holt immediately do as requested and each grab the nearest ladders! They fold them up and slide two into the ring, to Violet's waiting hands, as slowly Candy is rising to her feet with a most unusual expression on her face...
Adams: Oh-oh my! What's that strange look on Candy's face??
Simone: Anger, Jason! That is anger! I've never seen that look on Candy's face before! I think that slap stirred something in Candy!
Adams: Poor Violet!
Holding the ladder, Violet turns around and her eyes go wide as Candy runs up and dropkicks the ladder into her! Violet is sent sprawling with the ladder crashing on top of her! Violet struggles to get out from under the ladder but the moment she does, Candy takes her down with a Thesz press and she just begins throwing lefts and rights into Violet's head!
Simone: It took Violet Amelia Holt to turn loose THIS side of Candy!
Fluffy barks at ringside as Dustin reaches into the ring and grabs his daughter's boot, pulling her out of the ring and away from Candy, much to the fans' displeasure!
Simone: Oh come on now! The numbers game already coming into play against Candy!
Candy protests to Jasmine but there is little that can be done! Dustin and Shelby shelter Violet and reassure her. Violet then brushes past them and starts to climb up on the ring apron - and Candy rushes in and grabs the top rope and jerks it forward, flipping Violet in the hard way! Candy then pulls Violet up by the hair and smiles out at the cheering fans!
Adams: I think Candy is going to give Violet a taste of her own medicine!
And Candy snapmares her over by the hair once, twice - THREE times! She pulls her right back up and ...!
Simone: Death By Chocolate!
Violet is out and Candy immediately grabs the fallen ladder and sets it up in the center of the ring. Once done, Candy begins to climb the ladder and gets about halfway when Shelby rolls into the ring! Violet's little sister and manager grabs Candy by the boot and PULLS, preventing her from going up any further!
Adams: That's not right! Get her out of the ring!
Simone: Nothing can be done, Jason! There are no disqualifications!
Candy lashes out with a boot that connects with Shelby, knocking her away! Candy then turns around from her perch on the ladder and she jumps, striking Shelby down with a missile dropkick! The crowd is brought to their collective feet!
Adams: Except THAT!
But this brings in an angry and over protective Dustin Holt who storms right up to a frightened Candy and he backs her up against the ropes and the poor thing ducks out of the ring to get away from him!
Simone: Oh big man, intimidating a woman!
Dustin then turns and HE begins to climb the ladder!
Simone: What...!? No!
Adams: He scares Candy out of the ring so she can't do anything!? Who can stop this guy!?
Suddenly the crowd explodes into cheers as out races Candy's husband Marcus! Marcus slides into the ring and grabs the ladder and starts to tip it over! Dustin holds on and shakes his head 'no,' begging off, but Marcus gets payback for Holt scaring his wife! The ladder tips over and Dustin crashes onto the mat hard and rolls out of the ring, falling to the floor!
Simone: Yes!
Adams: Alright!
Marcus quickly exits the ring and beckons Candy to return to action! She beams at her 'hero' and does so! She then sets the ladder up again and this time climbs successfully! She grabs hold of the briefcase just as Violet stirs and sees what is happening! Violet gets to her feet and begins to climb the other side of the ladder as Candy wrests the briefcase free and struggles to open it! Violet gets to the top just as Candy pries the briefcase open and pulls the Glitter Bomb free - and she bashes Violet in the noggin' with it just as she reaches the top of the ladder!
DING DING DING!
Violet crumbles and practically slides down the ladder and crumbles to the mat, seemingly out like a light!
Justin: Here is your winner - CANDY!!!
The crowd cheers as Candy celebrates as a cascade of glitter flies EVERYWHERE in part due to the brisk breeze over the ship!
Adams: Candy did it! Against the odds, she's undefeated in Glitter Bomb matches!
Simone: Violet thought she had the deck stacked against Candy numbers-wise but thanks to Marcus her husband, it was not so!
Candy descends the ladder just far enough that Marcus picks her up on his shoulder and the husband and wife pair celebrate her win as the crowd cheers and applauds!
The scene opens on the lower decks of the ship where we see Jessie Salco warming up for her match against Christina, she stops when she sees the camera.
Jessie: Summer XXXTreme, the PPV where it all started for me nine years ago.
Jessie states as she folds her arms.
Jessie: Christina, our match is coming up soon and we're out to do the same thing, steal the show! However, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have an ulterior motive for accepting your open challenge!
Jessie adds before making a belt motion around her waist.
Jessie: Doesn't matter if it's the Bombshell Roulette, the inevitably vacated Bombshell Internet, World Bombshell or even the mixed tag titles, next cycle I'll have my goals set on winning gold for the first time since I won the Bombshell Roulette Title from Johanna Krieger last year and winning this match will be a good way to set me on the path to doing just that.
Jessie adds before smirking.
Jessie: See you in the ring Christina and I hope you bring your A Game, otherwise? You'll be wasting my time!
Jessie walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall introducing first... hailing from Los Angeles, California... Crystal Zdunich...
The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.
"YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!"
As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.
Smile Bomb by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Zdunich walks from the curtains. She is accompanied by her wife Seleana, and the two of them make their way to the ring. Crystal is focused as she walks to the ring with a purpose. She however slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She tosses her Shoto inspired hoodie towards her wife as she awaits the start of the match. Seleana cheers for her wife as her wife is locked in a trance.
Justin: And her opponent...
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.
The ref moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
As soon as the bell rings, Zdunich and Salco charge forward as Salco attempts a dropkick but Zdunich dodges as she then turns and rushes at Salco and goes for a kick but Salco stays down in a squatting position avoiding the kick as she then climbs to her feet as she tries to catch Zdunich off guard with a leg sweep but Zdunich dodges and as she turns she tries for a big boot but Salco dodges that and as they turn around the both attempt a kick and both connect on each other's foot as they both take a step back and then move forward and try for a forearm shot and again they connect arms as they once again stumble back and this time holding their arms.
Simone: Good fast paced start here... as Crystal Zdunich as she now wants to be called takes on Salco who accepted the open challenge.
Adams: Indeed a good start between the two as neither get the upper hand and are pretty even stevens when it comes to the attempted kicks and forearm shots.
They both look at each other as they walk forward and exchange a few words as Zdunich gives Salco a hard shove and Salco responds back with a shove of her own as Zdunich takes a step forward and she and Salco lock up in the centre of the ring and jockey for position as Salco overpowers Zdunich and drives her into the corner before dragging her out of the corner as they continue to jockey for position as Zdunich gets an upper hand for a moment as she drags Salco into the corner and gives her a couple of shoves up against the turnbuckle, but Salco fights back and drives Zdunich backwards right into the corner on the opposite side of the ring.
Adams: It quickly breaks down and the begin to push and shove each other before locking up and they jockey for position with both briefly getting the upper hand.
Salco pins her there for a moment as the ref moves in but Salco returns the favour and begins to drive Zdunich backwards against the turnbuckle and gets a little more harder as she forces her down to the middle turnbuckle as the ref intervenes and pulls Salco away. Salco exchanges a few words with the ref and with Salco distracted Zdunich sits up and grabs Salco and drags her towards the turnbuckle and Salco connects with the middle buckle.
Simone: Salco overpowers Zdunich and drives her hard into the turnbuckle multiple times before the ref comes in and stops her.
Adams: With the slight distraction form the ref, Zdunich takes advantage of this and drags Salco towards the turnbuckle and she connects with it.
Zdunich climbs to her feet, as Salco turns around holding her face. Zdunich moves to the other side of the ring before moving in and catches Salco with a boot across her face. Zdunich sits on the ropes for a moment with a smile before moving backwards and then grabs Salco and pulls her away from the ropes and goes for a pin...
ONE!
Kickout!
Adams: Zdunich goes for a pin but only get a one count... after she follows up with a boot to Salco's face.
Simone: She needs to do more.
Zdunich shakes her head as she gets to her knees, as Salco begins to move, and she gets a punch in the back for her troubles, but Salco continues to move as Zdunich watches and follows and she clubs Salco's back and Salco grimaces in pain as she rolls away from Zdunich. Zdunich climbs to her feet and grabs Salco and pulls her to feet where she drives Salco's face into the top turnbuckle. Salco drops to a knee as Zdunich brings her foot up and begins to choke her. The ref moves in and yells at Zdunich to release but she does not, and he gets to a four count, and she releases and backs away.
Simone: Zdunich doesn't allow Salco to get moving as she clubs her back a few times as she tries to roll away, but Zdunich isn't giving her the time.
Adams: With the in-ring name change comes a new attitude... but does she really need to choke Salco.
Simone: No... and the ref agrees.
Salco quickly rolls from the corner and towards Zdunich, who grabs her and pulls her up to her feet and she grabs her hand and whips her hard into the turnbuckle. Salco hits the turnbuckle and drops down to the mat, no sooner had Salco dropped to the mat, Zdunich quickly moves to the ropes and bounces off them and charges in hitting another boot to the face. Zdunich moves away from the ropes and grabs Salco and rolls her away from the ropes and goes for a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout...
Adams: Another boot to the face and Zdunich tries for another pin and gets a two count.
Salco kicks out, as Zdunich slaps the mat in frustration, but she doesn't dwell on it for too long as she leans over the moving Salco and catches her across the back once more. Zdunich climbs to her feet and as Salco gets to her hands and Knees, Zdunich leaps up and hits a mushroom stomp across her back. Salco grimaces in pain, as she rolls over onto her back as Zdunich climbs to back to her feet and places a boot on Salco's neck and chokes her but as the ref gets to their first count Salco brings her feet up and drives them into the face of Zdunich.
Simone: Salco accepted this challenge and so far she has done nothing. She is in trouble here.
Zdunich stumbles back holding her face as Salco moves to her knees still holding her back, as Zdunich moves back to Salco and grabs her by the hair and pulls her up, however, Salco pushes Zdunich backwards, but this doesn't deter Zdunich and moves forward and this time she hits a forearm shot, which Zdunich stumbles and Salco quickly follows up with a enziguri. Zdunich stumbles backwards and into the ropes, as Salco quickly climbs to her feet and rushes Zdunich and hits a clothesline on her sending her out of the ring.
Adams: Desperation move?
Simone: Maybe but she has to somehow get back into this match, which she does and she rocks Zdunich with a enziguri and then clothesline her out of the ring.
Zdunich lands on her feet and stumbles backwards up against the barriers, Salco turns and bounces off the ropes before rushing forward and diving through the ropes and catches Zdunich with her dive. Zdunich slumps down to the mat, while Salco rolls away holding her back. The ref leaps out of the ring to check on Zdunich and Salco to check on them before climbing back into the ring and begins their count...

Zdunich arches her back in pain, as Salco climbs to a knee...
Simone: The ref is up to six... they both better be careful.
SEVEN!
Pushing herself to her feet, Salco rises up and grabs Zdunich and pulls her up and throws her back into the ring...
EIGHT!
She follows close behind and climbs to her feet. Instead of going for the quick pin, Salco climbs to the top rope and leaps off with for a moonsault, however, Zdunich gets her knees up and Salco crashes down on them. Salco rolls away sucking in as much as air as possible, as Zdunich lays on her side holding her knee's, but she powers through the pain and crawls over to Salco and grabs her leg hook it for a pin...
Adams: The ref gets to eight, but Salco brings the action back io the ring. Salco goes high risk and tries for a moonsault, but Zdunich gets her knees up.

Simone: Zdunich tries for a pin and is almost gets the win.
Zdunich shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet and stumbles over to Salco as she grabs Salco by the hair and pulls her up, but Salco shoves her away and holds her stomach, but Zdunich comes back at her and gives her a shove, but it soon descends into a brawl, and they trade shots until she drives a knee into Salco's stomach. Salco doubles over and Zdunich drives a knee into Salco's face before hitting a leg sweep as Salco drops to the mat into a seated position.
Adams: This isn't going to end well for Salco... as at first they brawl but Zdunich turns the tables into her favour.
Zdunich quickly follows up with a snap mare and then a dropkick. Zdunich doesn't go for the pin, and she grabs Salco and pulls her up and drives her into the corner. Once in the corner, Zdunich hits the Flashing Lights (Chick kick). Zdunich pulls Salco from the corner, where she then hits her new move - Flame On (Asai DDT into a backstabber).
Zdunich goes for a pin...

ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Adams: Zdunich wins from the new finisher.
Justin: The winner of this match via pinfall... Crystal Zdunich.
Zdunich music hits over the p.a, as she slowly climbs to her feet as Seleana joins her in the ring as she hugs and kiss her wife before celebrating her win.
Denis Leary's "Im An Asshole" plays and the crowd boos as the rotund and hyperactive "know-it-all" of professional wrestling, the Troll, runs onto the stage as fast as he can (which altogether isn't that fast). He has an annoying, excited look on his face as he pumps his arms, greeted by the boos of the fans.
Adams: Oh no! What is HE doing out here!?
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome - the Troll!
He then "jogs" down to the ring, holding his hands out for high-fives but receives none. He pauses to retrieve a steel folding chair from ringside.
Simone: Well he warned us for weeks that one way or another, he'd have a match tonight! Did he actually find an opponent?
He struggles up onto the ring apron and climbs through the ropes, catching his shoe on the middle rope and face plants in the ring, much to the laughter of the crowd. The Troll scrambles to his feet and pulls the microphone away from Justin...
The Troll: SHUT UP!!!
He catches sight of his lovely mother at ringside and gulps, looking meek.
The Troll: Um... please?
Boos and laughter spread across the ship as the Troll sets up the folding chair and has a seat. he relaxes back, calm and "cool" before he speaks into the microphone.
The Troll: I told you! I told ALL of you...!
He adds a dramatic sweep of his arm, pointing out to all corners of the SCW Universe watching, then points right into the camera.
The Troll: And I told ESPCIALLY you...!
He sits back again...
The Troll: That it was a gross injustice on the part of Mark Ward and Christian Underwood to hold one of the biggest shows of the year and NOT book me! I told each and every one of you out there that one way or another, I WOULD be here and here I am! I told EVERYONE that one way or another, I was going to have a match whether Ward and Underwood wanted me to or not! I will not be silenced! I will not allow my talents inside of the ring to be ignored! I am the single hottest prospect that Sin City Wrestling and the entire SPORT of professional wrestling has to offer! So right here! Right now! I am issuing an open challenge to ANYONE in the back!
Simone: I don't think this idiot has thought this one through.
The Troll: So to all you so-called "men" in the back, I am NOT leaving this ring until I have a match! Tonight is your opportunity little boys! So get out here so I can make you famous!
The Troll shoves the mic back into the bare chest of Justin and folds his arms in a defiant pose in the chair, staring right at the entrance stage!
Adams: An open challenge! This wanker (pun intended) just issued an open challenge to the locker room!
Simone: Who is going to accept?
The crowd murmurs as the Troll visibly complains about being made to wait when....
The lights in the arena drop out to pitch black, before gold and blue lights flash around the top of the entrance ramp as a heavy guitar rift. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung...
Simone: What!? It CAN'T be!
Adams: NO WAY!!!
J2H confidently walks out on to the stage!
Adams: OH MY GOD!!!
Simone: J2H! J2H is here!!!
Justin: From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds, he is the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, he is J2H!
The Troll looks absolutely SHELL SHOCKED as J2H looks around the crowd before he walks towards the ring with, a confident look on his face. The lights brighten slightly as he gets closer to the ring, stepping up the steps and through the middle of the ropes and in to the ring. Adams: Look at the Troll! He hasn't moved from that chair! Simone: Of all the people who could have accepted his challenge...! The former two-time and longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion! AND Hall of Famer, J2H! J2H moves towards the center of the ring, putting his arms to either side as gold pyros spit up from the turnbuckles. THIS causes the Troll to jump and tip over in the chair, falling backwards to the mat! This seems to have shocked the senses back into the Troll as Jasmine St. John quickly enters the ring and slides the fallen chair to the outside! Adams: Wait...! is this, is this happening!? Are we about to see J2H against the Troll!? Simone: Jasmine is inside of the ring! I think we are! The Troll NOW looks absolutely jubilant, pumping his fists up and down and turning to the fans, laughing and pointing out at them! The Troll: I told you! I. Told. You! Jasmine calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
And J2H races right up behind the Troll and rolls him up into a schoolboy pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING! Simone: Wha-what the hell just happened! Adams: Bwahahahaha! J2H just set a record fastest pin fall in SCW history! That's what! The Troll sits up, absolutely shocked as J2H rolls to the outside and Jasmine raises his arm! Justin: Here is your winner, in FOUR SECONDS - J2H!!! The crowd laughs and cheers! Crowd: J2H! J2H! J2H! J2H pulls his hand away from Jasmine and flips the bird to the Troll before turning his back on everyone and walking back up the aisle! He turns around just one final time and extends his arms out and stands in a golden pyro one more time before vanishing to the back! Simone: Well he didn't lie! The Troll DID have a match! Adams: yeah, he just never said anything about lasting past five seconds in it! The Troll flops to his back and pounds his fists into the mat while kicking his feet, throwing an EPIC tantrum! The scene opens near the portside of the Sun Princess Cruise Liner where we see one of the challengers for the Roulette Title Caleb Storms admiring the view of the sea with his wife Katie, the peace and quiet is interrupted by Pussy Willow, however.
Pussy: Caleb, later tonight you are challenging Alex Jones for the Roulette Title, we just saw Agostino Romano qualify for that title match by beating Shane Borderland in the opener, does that effect your plans going into the title match?
Caleb: Not at all, I had a feeling that Agostino would be joining me and Alex in the Ultimate X Over the Pool Match which means one thing, that I can finally get my win back from Agostino.
Pussy: You're talking about your ladder match against him for the Internet Title at Blaze of Glory, right?
Caleb: Right, and the last time I faced him as a challenger in a title match, I became a two time Internet Champion, Alex will definitely put up a fight against me to keep his title but at the end of the day I'll be walking off this ship the new Roulette Champion!
Pussy walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: The following match is the Superstar Ultimate X match for the Roulette championship!!!
"respect" by devour the day hits and as the lyrics of the intro cut into the guitar Alex steps out wearing a black and red "wolfslair" t-shirt and his wrestling gear. He makes his way down to the swimming pool sporting an arrogant sneer before taking his shirt off and awaits his opponents.
Justin: The first wrestler to come down to the swimming pool!! The current Roulette champion!! Alex Jones!!!
The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing accross the cruise ship before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the swimming pool.
Justin: His first opponent Caleb Storms!!!
Fragments Of Insanity by Necrodeath plays over the sounds system as Agostino Romano comes out with James Brown from the curtain, wearing green and yellow wrestling trousers with green and yellow elbow pads and green and yellow boots, having his fists in the air with James Brown following behind him.
Justin: And the final wrestler in this match!! Agostino Romano!!!!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as all three men stand around the swimming pool, looking upwards to the championship belt hanging across the X structure that they need to climb to retrieve the belt without falling into the swimming pool. Alex Jones stares at both Caleb and Agostino and sees the two men close in on the champion.
Simone: Are the challengers going to work together to eliminate the champ??
Adams: It is a strategy that we have seen before in standard Triple Threat matches Belinda, why not in this one???
Alex notices the intentions that both men have and decides to charge in on Agostino, seeing that he has already wrestled in a match prior this one. He and Agostino lock arms as Alex uses his leverage that he has over the young Italian to back him into the wall of one of the near cabins and drives series of knees into the midsection of Agostino. Trying to ground him before turning his attention to Caleb Storms. Who jumps up on Alex back from behind and wraps his arms around his chin in a chinlock. This forces Alex to back off from Agostino as he lifts his arms up towards the head of Caleb in an attempt to get him off of his back. But Caleb had already wrapped his legs around the midsection of Alex as that causes it to make it impossible for Alex to pull him off of his back by reaching for the hair of Caleb. This gives Agostino the opportunity to deliver a dropkick to the left knee of Alex as that causes him to fall down on his face with Caleb still on top of him.
Simone: Smart strategy to ground the scientific wrestler with injuring a part of your leg, making it more difficult to climb the Ultimate X structure.
Caleb lets go off the chinlock and stands over Alex before turning his attention to his "partner" as he grins, wanting to shake his hand as Agostino delivers a kick to his midsection before executing an Irish Whip into the wall near them as Caleb hits the wall face first. Causing a safety line to fall off the wall above him and it falls all over him, causing his arms to be locked between it.
Adams: That is one tough break for Caleb
Simone: Indeed, but it is also rather funny
A replay shows the safety line fall off the wall and falls just on top of Caleb as it locks down his arms. Agostino grabs the safety line and spins Alex around several times before releasing his hold and sending him towards a diving board. Only to be caught by Alex Jones, who has gotten back to his feet and tosses Caleb over his head onto the hardwood floor surrounding the swimming pool as he had executed a modified Belly to Belly suplex by grabbing hold of the safety line as Caleb lands awkwardly.
Simone: I cannot remember ever seeing someone use a safety line as the basis of lifting someone up in the air for a Belly to Belly!!!
Alex slowly gets to his feet as he sees Romano heading towards the Ultimate X, wanting to climb it to retrieve the championship. Alex manages to climb after Agostino, but the painful knee causes him to be a bit slower than the challenger. Romano is near to the edge as he suddenly feels a hand of Alex Jones grab him by the boots. He looks down as he sees Alex attempting to pull him down again as he had sucked up the pain and used a few big steps to near his opponent. Agostino tries to break free from his grip by kicking his foot backwards in the hopes of having Alex to let go. But the champ pulls on the leg as that causes Agostino to be pulled down to be on the same height upon the structure of Alex. Both men are on a side of the structure as Romano grabs Alex by the head and bashes him face first into the steel structure. Causing Alex to shake his head before giving a chop to the chest of Agostino. The two trade blows while still standing on the same leg of the Ultimate X structure as on the outside of the swimming pool we see Caleb that has freed himself from the safety line.
Adams: Now it is going to be interesting as now both men need to pay attention to Caleb as well!!
Caleb grabs a cable as he walks towards the diving board that Agostino tried to Irish Whip him into earlier in the match. He gently walks on top of it before reaching the edge of the board as it causes to bend down to the water slightly.
Simone: What is Caleb thinking??
Adams: I don't know, but we know that this guy is a daredevil and is willing to take a risk.
Caleb uses the cable and tosses it towards the Ultimate X structure as he manages to get the cable over one of the top sedges that leads to the X in the middle where the ring is at before walking back the diving board and climbs off of it. He walks away from it as he takes five big steps before turning around.
Simone: You don't think.......
Caleb runs towards the diving board, jumps over the few small steps in front of it and runs over the board before jumping off the end of the board and extends his arms towards the cable.
Adams: He is crazy!!!!
Perhaps crazy, but his effort is rewarded as he manages to grab both cables, causing him to hang underneath he top part of the structure while Alex and Romano are still trading blows
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!!
The crowd cannot believe what they just witnessed as they stare at Caleb, who is swinging from left to right underneath one part of the X that leads to the middle. The cable is swinging due to the impact of him reaching for it and grabbing it as he attempts to remain hanging underneath it with his bare hands. Trying to swing his legs upwards every time that they are close to the etal structure. On the outside we see Alex blocking a punch of Romano and bashes his face several times into the steel post before whipping him off the structure into the water before having his focus upon Caleb.
Adams: Now I am curious who of these two will reach the championship belt first!!!
Caleb finally manages to stop the swinging as he gets his legs around the top of the structure as Alex climbs on top of the structure and slowly crawls himself towards Caleb and the championship belt, slowly gaining on Caleb who is trying to do the same while underneath he structure
Simone: How is Caleb going to grab the title?? His legs are the nearest to the championship belt instead of his arms!!!
Caleb suddenly realizes the same thing as he is the closes to the belt. Deciding to grab hold on the steel structure tightly with both hands before deciding to let his feet go, causing them to fall down as he still holds on to the steel. Trying to find his balance he starts to climb towards the title using one hand at a time to get closer and closer to it. He is just inches away from the title when suddenly his hand is grabbed by Alex, who had crawled over to the middle of the x in the meantime. Making it difficult for Caleb to grab the title with that hand, deciding to go for it and letting go off his other hand in an attempt to grab the championship. Only to have Alex grab that hand as well, causing Caleb to get himself into a sticky situation.
Adams: Alex can seal Caleb's fate any moment now by just letting go off both hands!!!
And Alex does so, only to realize that prior to doing so that Caleb managed to swing his legs on the steel structure as that prevents him to fall into the water. Caleb uses his leg strength to pull himself upwards and attempts to reach for the gold as Alex does the same from the other side. Reaching the title just a moment sooner than Caleb and unhooks it for the bell to be rung
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match and STILL SCW ROULETTE CHAMPION!! Alex Jones!!!
Caleb looks at Alex with a look of disappointment that he just came up a bit too short as Alex sits on top of the structure and celebrates.
The scene cuts to Andrea Hernandez who is all business at this point. She doesn't seem to be annoyed or angry. Instead, she looks like someone who is solely focused on one thing and that's going out there and winning a match at the same Summer XXXtreme event that caused her so much heartache last year. Still, even with that, she doesn't appear to be focused on the heartache of last year as she begins to express her thoughts.
Andrea: Sam Marlowe, it's a shame it has to come to this. Yeah, I know about the recent deaths that you've experienced. If ANYONE on this roster knows what it is like to deal with a close death before the Summer XXXtreme event, it's me. That was me last year. I went into that event with a heavy heart and a hell of a lot of anger. You're in that same situation that I was in last year. And I'm in the same situation that someone shall remain nameless was when they continued to be the slanderous, lying bitch they were to me even after it had come out that my father had died. I would love to come out here and run you down and talk about why you're going to lose to me tonight and then even throw some insults at your dead relatives just because I can or just to be a bitch. But see, I'm not like that. I'll spare you that heartache, Sam. While I can relate, and while I am sorry that you had to deal with that, what I am NOT going to be sorry for is finishing this between you and I the hard way. What I am not going to be sorry about is enlightening you on how you can save your own career and be relevant again. I've said it before, I'll say it again. The way you're going to realize the success that you want to have all over again is to do what I did!
The way you're going to get back to where you were is to do what I did! Take initiative. Don't just say that you won't be a pushover, PROVE IT! Do what I did last year at Violent Conduct when I fucked Christina Rose up the way I did. I'm not going to be sorry for teaching you the lesson you sorely need and that lesson is that girls like you, sweethearts, will ALWAYS be second best in the end even when they do achieve their moment of glory. I learned that the hard way and it wasn't a good feeling at all. I had my heart torn out of me and shattered as it was thrown down to the floor and I had to stand there and feel like an empty void, a failure, as they who shall remain nameless, they who ripped my heart out and did that to me, pointed at me, laughed at me, and ran up the score in the weeks to come declaring that I was "OVER" and that I was going to have a "DOWNFALL" and that I was going to fade away to irrelevance, exaggerating a STUMBLE as a FALL when it never was a FALL, exaggerating a FALL as a COLLAPSE as if their words meant everything.
They didn't...
And GOD do I wish I realized that at the time...
I CHANGED for the better Sam... and so can you! I don't want to put you through the ground. This has never been about exposing you as a fraud or creating a lie out of nothing just to bring you down. I don't need to do that. This has been about two things: ONE, proving that I should be the one getting ALL the opportunities that you've gotten and TWO, shining a light on you that you DESPERATELY NEED! That whole chloroform thing? You know, the incident that you took personally? That was about showing you how to REALLY get ahead! You're not going to get anywhere in Sin City Wrestling anymore being the "sweetheart of Sin City wrestling". What you need to do is evolve, something you've yet to do in your entire career! I will break your spirit not because I WANT TO, but because it's for your OWN GOOD! You'll realize what I did last year after Summer XXXtreme! When I defeat you again, you will realize that sweethearts really do finish last.
I'll defeat you and I'll move on to what I DESERVE...
And YOU? For your own sake, I hope you take the lessons I've tried to instill in you and I hope you decide to FINALLY let go of this 'sweetheart thing' that's holding you back. You're going to lose this match tonight Sam. There's nothing you can do about that. But what you CAN do is be better from this... you can FINALLY have some initiative to grow and evolve.
But for tonight? I've got to beat you down one last time... and THAT Sam, is something I'll NEVER be sorry for!
Andrea glares at the camera, clearly intense and focused, as she walks out of the scene. Soon after her departure, the scene fades out.
Justin: The following match is the best two out of three match!!!
"Waking the Demon" by Bullet for my Valentine hits the venue's soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong boos from the crowd. Andrea scoffs at the crowd and doesn't pay them any attention at all otherwise as she is completely focused on the task at hand. She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, ignoring the crowd even further as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.
Justin: Currently in the ring!! Andrea Hernandez!!!
"Invincible by Hedley begins to play as a familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show where she stops and looks over the crowds who begin to chant her name as Justin brings the microphone to his lips.
Justin: And her opponent!! Samantha Marlowe!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as two former Bombshell champions stare each other in the ring in this best two out of three falls match. Samantha bends through her knees as she places her hands upon them while staring down at Andrea. The two nod their heads as they respect each other's abilities in the ring. Andrea extends her hand towards Samantha, who shakes her head and wants none of it before backing away from Andrea. The two circle each other before Samantha starts to run the ropes and Andrea does the same in a different direction. Both bombshells cross the ring until Andrea stops and catches Samantha by the arm and executes a hip toss, only to have Samantha land on her feet and hits a spinning heel kick to the face of Andrea. This causes Andrea to stagger backwards into the ropes as Samantha charges in on her and delivers a spear that sends both her and Andrea through the middle and top rope to the outside. Andrea hits the canvas on the outside first as she lands on her back while Samantha quickly gets to her feet and delivers a standing moonsault upon her opponent before getting up again and stand over Andrea while hearing the cheers from the fans. Samantha grabs Andrea by the arm and pulls her up to her feet before tossing her back in the ring and slides into the ring after her and cover Andrea for the three count.
ONE!
Andrea manages to get her shoulder off the canvas as Jacob Summers shows to anyone that it is just a count of one. Samantha runs to the ropes in front of Andrea as she delivers a dropkick to Andrea's face as she sat up, causing to have her snap her head back hard against the canvas before Samantha runs to the turnbuckles and jumps on top of it before going for
Adams: Sammisault!!!!
But Andrea has managed to get her knees up as that causes Samantha to come in contact with the knees and rolls around in agonizing pain. Andrea grabs Samantha by the head and bashes her face first several times on the canvas before rolling her over on her back and goes for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
But Sam manages to kick out at the count of two, Andrea does not let go as she immediately hooks her legs around the waist of Samantha in a body scissors submission hold. She squeezes her legs tight across the painful midsection of Samantha Marlowe as she is trying to escape the hold that Andrea has on her as she attempts to pull her legs apart with her own hands
Simone: I think that the leg strength of Andrea Hernandez is too much for Samantha to break free from by using her arm strength!!
Samantha indeed is trying unsuccessful, also because of the fact that Andrea manages to roll her on her side while reaching for the ropes out of sight of Jacob Summers who is checking on Samantha whether she wishes to give in, only to get a refusal as answer.
Simone: Jacob!! Andrea is using the ropes for an unfair advantage!!!
But of course it's futile to scream at the official of this match as he is too focused upon Samantha Marlowe. He looks up after Andrea had released the ropes as she grabs the head from Samantha from behind and locks her in a Dragon Sleeper while having her still in the body scissors hold as well
Adams: This is great strategic wrestling from Andrea, she is wearing Sam down with some basic wrestling moves!!!
Jacob checks on Samantha whether she is okay and can continue, she is trying to break free but realizes that the holds are locked in tight and quickly taps
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the first fall by submission!! Andrea Hernandez!!!
Adams: Smart thinking, she saw that she had not much chance to somehow break out of the combo holds that Andrea had on her.
Simone: Indeed Jason, plus you are relatively fresher when you are locked into those holds for several minutes!!!
Andrea was forced to let go off the holds after a count of four from Jacob Summers, pushing Samantha off of her and stares at her into the corner smiling. She realizes that she has an advantage over her fallen opponent and looks for any way to exploit it. She watches Samantha slowly get to her feet and then walks towards her, she grabs Sam by the hair as she pulls her up to her feet before setting her up for an Irish Whip. Setting Sam up for a cross body, only to have Sam catch her and use Andrea's own momentum against her by executing a Samoan Drop after hoisting her on her shoulders. Sam quickly uses her leg strength to roll on top of Andrea and goes for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
But Andrea manages to kick out, Samantha holds her midsection in pain as the fans applaud her for the counter that she used upon Andrea.
Adams: I was surprised that Samantha was capable to pull that off, especially after having her midsection come in contact with those knees and legs of Andrea.
Simone: I am sure that she must be having difficulties breathing at this point.
Samantha quickly gets to her feet and quickly locks Andrea in a Camel Clutch just before she could get to her feet as well. locking in the hold deep as the arms of Andrea are tied up between the legs and arms of Samantha as she pulls on Andrea's head backwards as far as she can.
Simone: Can Samantha make it one a piece???
Andrea is trying to break free from the hold that Sam has on her as Jacob Summers looks on, but she realizes just like Sam did earlier that it is best to tap out quickly and does.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the second fall by submission and forcing a third fall!! Samantha Marlowe!!!
The crowd cheers as Sam let's go, she quickly grabs one of Andrea's arms and locks it in the Fujiwara Armbar submission hold as Andrea is screaming in agonizing pain. Jacob is asking her if she wants to give in to the submission hold, but refuses as she knows that she will lose the match ultimately. She extends her free arm as she looks forward to grab the ropes and break free from the hold that Sam has on her but is too far away to grab it.
Simone: She is too far away from the ropes!!
Andrea switches her body and manages to get the tip of her boot on the ropes as Jacob sees that and she starts to tap. Causing Samantha to believe that she has won and lets go, only to have Jacob tell her that she had not won and that Andrea's foot was on the bottom rope.
Adams: Oh boy, Sam got suckered in by Andrea
Samantha is upset and argues with the official before turning her attention back to Andrea Hernandez. Grabbing her arm once again to go for another Fujiwara Armbar, but Andrea grabs her by the arm with both hands and pulls her forward towards her. Causing Samantha to hit face first into the turnbuckles and that causes Samantha's momentum to stop as Andrea gets up to her feet. She quickly charges in on Samantha from behind with a running knee in the back of Samantha's neck before rolling her on her back and covers her while hooking both legs
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the third and final fall by pinfall!! Andrea Hernandez!!!
Andrea rolls off of her and has her hands raised by Jacob Summers in victory before rolling out of the ring and moves to the back.
Backstage, Ms. Rocky Mountains is seen holding up a microphone and standing next to SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas for an interview segment.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mercedes, you're coming off a busy weekend. Following your GRIME World Nightmare Championship title loss to Masked Rainbow and falling short in the Mayhem Survival match last week, do you think you're recovered enough for your match tonight with Bella Madison?
Mercedes: Is that a serious question?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yes, that's a serious question.
Mercedes: Am I fully recovered? Of course I am. Those losses only fuel me for what's to come tonight. I still have a twinkle in my eye and a pep in my step. I have bad moments but I don't have bad nights, Rocky.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mercedes, due to your actions at Into the Void, you injured Bella, causing her to miss several weeks of matches. You each caused other matches recently and Bella is seeking payback. I just want to know, do you have any regrets?
Mercedes: Regrets? No, Rocky, I think my supply fell through, sorry.
Mercedes tilts her head and forces a thin smile at Rocky before she continued.
Mercedes: Regrets, Rocky, would mean having to live in the past. As for my *air quotes* actions, I'm ready for whatever payback Bella has for me. If she's supposed to be karma, than I can handle her, no problem.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You and Bella have never faced each other before and neither of you have ever competed in a Blindfold match until tonight. How do you plan to win a match like this when you can't even see?
Mercedes: I don't know, I'm not sure, but I will do whatever I have to do to beat Bella and she's going to try to do the same to me. Bella shouldn't worry about whether she'll get her revenge, she should be worried if she fails tonight.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Bella didn't hold anything back in her comments hyping this match. What's your response?
Mercedes lightly taps the microphone Rocky holds out to her.
Mercedes: This thing on?
The interviewer assures her with a nod.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: It is.
Mercedes: Good. Because it's about to be on.
Mercedes divides her attention between the interviewer and the camera.
Mercedes: Bella, sometimes life isn't fair. This match isn't fair, but you know something? I'm going to just deal with it. I'm an SCW Hall of Famer, a seasoned veteran of the six-sided ring, a bonafide living legend.
Mercedes raises her index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.
Mercedes: Something you should know: I don't play games, I win games. Maybe not all the time, but most of the time. Are you going to prove me wrong?
She gives an innocent shrug.
Mercedes: For me this is going to be fun, but for all of you this is going to be a nightmare.
She maintains an unwavering smile.
Mercedes: Long before you knew, and long after you'll remember. See you out there.
Cruising through corridors, probably searching for peace or at the very least somewhere that didn't have a ping pong tournament in progress... Current Bombshells World Champion Amber Ryan shifted her belt on her shoulder, and as a result almost walked into what can only be described as a hiding Bobbie Dahl.
Stopping and glancing around, curious and arguably a little perturbed by the sight- the champion very obviously contemplates her existence in this moment.
Ryan: Do I... uh...
Amber makes a couple faces of uncertainty, still trying to decide her immediate levels of regret. Bobbie looks around nervously, then ducks down continuing to attempt to keep herself hidden before turning her attention to Amber.
Bobbie: I'm hiding. But I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job of it at the moment!
Bobbie sighs and closes her eyes, quietly wondering how she let herself get into this predicament in the first place.
Ryan: Yeah, you don't say...
Amber herself glances about, but sees no one else in the immediate area worth hiding from.
Ryan: I feel like I'm gonna really regret this but... who the fuck are you hiding from?
There's almost a laugh as Amber trails off, unable to hide the ridiculousness of this whole thing behind the half smile forming on her face. Bobbie's face is still riddled with panic.
Bobbie: My not so secret anymore secret admirer! Ya know, normally having a secret admirer would be kinda exciting and all, but I really got myself in a pickle this time! And I lost a perfectly good lunch because of it.
Bobbie can't even get herself to say his name, and when she looks at Amber, still staring at her waiting for an answer, Bobbie sighs and tries to keep herself from retching again.
Bobbie: I somehow appear to have gained the affections of a certain Troll...Gawd, I can't believe I just said that!
Bobbie shudders and almost gags at the thought. In reaction, almost to the point of obnoxiousness, Amber breaks out into uproarious laughter- practically unheard of for the usually impassive champion.
Ryan: Oh man... I'm sorry, I know it's not funny... but honestly it really is.
Amber wipes away a non-existent tear as she tries to compose herself. Bobbie frowns, almost disappointed.
Bobbie: I find nothing funny about this situation at all, thank you very much. If only I had smothered him just a little bit longer, none of this would be happening.
Bobbie folds her arms and pouts childishly.
Ryan: Right... like trying to kill a cockroach by making it comfortable in your house. Fantastic. Look, you do you... good luck and all that with... all this?
Amber goes to leave, shaking her head humourlessly. Bobbie shakes her head and sighs.
Bobbie: Nobody is ever going to take me seriously! I'm going to be the butt of everyone's jokes now that I've got that disgusting Troll chasing my tail! Ugh...
She stands up, coming a little bit more out of hiding now and dusts herself off. Amber by now has stopped, against her better judgement while running a hand back through the tangle of red that falls behind her.
Ryan: That's what you're worried about? The way people look at you? A word of advice if I may...
Crossing her arms, still amused by just all of this situation, Amber squares up her footing.
Ryan: You're too busy worrying about humiliating instead of just acting on instinct. You wanted that Troll asshole to look dumb, instead of literally dumping him on his head- killer instinct Bobbie. You have it, you have it in spades... You just need to accept that maybe there are worse things in the world than being seen as the bad guy sometimes...
Bobbie thinks for a moment, processing every word Amber just said to her. She folds her arms again.
Bobbie: Oh I've been the bad guy before. I thought it would work and get me somewhere, but even that didn't. Bad Bobbie didn't work. Good Bobbie doesn't work. I guess I'm just a fool. It would be easier if I could be more like you, but hell even I don't know if I could pull that off...
Scratching the side of her face, you can almost hear the gears turning in the redheads skull. She contemplates for what feels like minutes, processing and swallowing response after response until she settles for something that doesn't sound so... acerbic.
Ryan: Like me? Ha, yeah. No. Fuck that. Good? Bad? That's all opinion- yours or someone else's, it isn't about being any of those things. It's about being effective... I don't go out to the ring trying to be anything but who I need to be to get the job done... if that's seen as 'too far' then so be it. Fact is- if I do good things, people like me... I do the same thing to someone else two weeks later and I'm public enemy numero uno.
Measured to the point it's almost painful, Amber slows her breathing.
Ryan: Maybe just start focusing on being Bobbie Dahl before you worry about whether that's a good or a bad thing. As for the Troll, if you need a hand 'scaring him off'... well, I'll be around.
Bobbie's mood seems to improve slightly and she lets out a laugh.
Bobbie: Scaring him off? Yeah, that's apparently easier said than done. Like you said earlier, he's like a damn cockroach, and those suckers are damn near impossible to get rid of. Oh God, I left Artie around him! I can imagine the Troll is probably spewing out some garbage love story by now...
Bobbie gags again. Amber can only chuckle under her breath.
Ryan: How is it you think I managed to stay single so long in this god forsaken industry...
Without waiting for an answer, Amber shrugs and starts to move off again, a half-hearted wave behind foe good luck and she's gone as though she hadn't been there to begin with.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the following match is a blindfold match 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.
Arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows, climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kickpads.
Justin: And her opponent from New York, New York she is Bella Madison!!!!!!!!!!
The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing her wrestling gear along with a ring jacket with the hood up and starts making her way to the ring.
Towards the end of the chorus she hops up on the ring side and climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket with a smirk and a wink as the song fades out.
Drew Patton looks at both bombshells. He proceeds to put blindfolds on the both of them. They try to feel in the air in hopes of finding their surroundings and that is when Patton decides to call for the bell. The bell sounds loudly signaling the very start to the match.
DING DING DING!
Simone: This is quite the match type that Bella had chosen but both opponents won't be able to see one another.
Adams: This can either be a good thing or a bad thing. The main thing about a match like this is they need to find one another.
The two bombshells emerge out of the corner as they try to best to feel their surroundings. The crowd yells in anticipation as they try to help guide them on where to go. Bella manages to feel around until she grabs something, that something is Drew Patton. The official yells at Bella that she has the wrong person and she immediately throws her arms up in an apologetic manner. It isn't long before Vargas uses her senses and rushes where the sounds were being made. The two are just a mere couple of feet away from one another. They finally begin to feel around until they touch one another. As soon as they do they erupt into a brutal fist fight. Most of the punches miss as they just swing about wildly.
Simone: These two finally found one another but it's a case of actually connecting.
Adams: I don't know how to feel about this when it comes to a wrestling match but this is certainly entertaining.
A wild punch from Vargas actually finds its mark as it catches Bella right in the face. Madison grabs at her face in pain and that is when Vargas reaches out. Somehow she manages to grab a firm grip of Bella's long hair. She yanks her in close placing her head underneath an arm. Without hesitation she drops her down straight to the mat with a DDT. Bella grabs at her head in pain and that is when Vargas tries to feel around the floor. Bella has turned over at this point as she covers her face. Vargas finds where Bella is and she lifts a boot up placing it on Bella to get a feel for where she is. Bella however grabs a hold of Mercedes' boot and twists her leg sending her to the ground.
Simone: That a girl Bella. She might have been in trouble after that ddt but she has found Vargas leg.
Adams: She has a firm grip on that leg too. I think this is where Bella might take over.
Vargas uses her leg to push Bella away. She begins to slowly rise up but Bella is really in tune with her senses as she manages to find where Vargas is. She kicks her right in the knee. Vargas staggers as she drops to a single knee. Bella manages to feel around and is confident where her opponent is. Without hesitation she leaps up managing to wrap her legs around the head of Vargas as she sends her down with a hurricanrana. The crowd all begin to pop in excitement as Bella has a smile on her face.
Simone: I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DID IT WITH THAT BLINDFOLD ON!!!
Adams: BUT SHE JUST CONNECTED WITH A BELLA AURA AND THESE FANS ARE LOVING IT!!!
Bella begins to crawl around on the ground as she is looking for her opponent. She manages to find Vargas and is on top of her for what looks like a lackadaisical cover. Patton acknowledges this and begins to make a count.
ONE!
TWO!
Vargas is able to easily get a shoulder up, Bella pounds at the mat as Patton screams at her it was only a two count. Mercedes is able to hear Madison's complaining and like a cat she is quick as she kips up to her feet. She rushes over to where Bella is and is able to grab her lifting her up to her feet. She wraps her arms around her waist and slings her backwards for a German Suplex. It connects and that is when Vargas keeps it bridged for a pinning attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
Bella is able to kick out of the move at the last moment. She rises back up to her feet and Mercedes gets up as well. The two people turn around and look at one another at the same exact time. Mercedes launches a very vicious bu
saw kick. Bella however is able to back away making sure that Vargas misses. Bella counters by launching a drop kick in Mercedes direction. The Argentine Assassin is able to move out of the way at the very last second causing Bella to hit the mat with a loud thud.Simone: These two have finally found one another and the action seems to be getting very intense.
Adams: It seemed to be rocky in the beginning but after they managed to find one another the action just seems to be getting better and better. Bella tries to rise up to her feet and Vargas begins to rush at her hitting her with a vicious super kick that connects right in the face. Bella begins to go down like a sack of bricks.
Simone: BE STILL MY HEART!!!!
Adams: IT CONNECTED AT FULL FORCE. THIS ONE HAS TO BE OVER!!!
Vargas takes some time to gloat over what she just did. She slowly walks over to Bella touching at her feet in hopes to go for a pin fall but Bella proves that Vargas managed to showboat a little too much as she quickly pulls her in for a very tight small package pinning attempt. She has it tightly as Patton sees this.
Simone: SMALL PACKAGE!!!!!
Adams: Could this be it?!
ONE!
TWO!
Mercedes is able to kick out at the very last second. She is absolutely livid as she rises up to her feet and is frustrated. Bella smiles before rising back up to a vertical position. Vargas quickly follows suit and stomps on the mat in frustration. Bella follows after the sound and as soon as she reaches Vargas that is when she tries for a Shining Wizard. It actually manages to connect a bit. Mercedes staggers but is still standing up. It is at this moment that Bella tries to capitalize on the moment.
Simone: Bella somehow found a way to connect with all of that Shining Wizard.
Adams: How will she follow up after that though?!
Bella signals that this match is going to come to an end. She grabs a hold of Mercedes and places her head underneath an arm. She signals to everyone for her Ashes to Ashes ddt.
Simone: This is it Bella is trying to end this one right here!
Adams: If she hits it this might very well be over!
Bella cracks a grin as she launches herself going for it but it is in that instance that Mercedes begins to showcase that she refuses to go down. Instead she shocks the world with a counter that hoists Bella high into the air. She begins to position her for what looks to be her Black Rose Overdrive.
Simone: And now Vargas is the one to counter the move.
Adams: And she is in perfect position for her Black Rose Overdrive.
Bella tries to fight it as she shoves elbow after elbow backwards catching Vargas right in the head. Mercedes tries her best to keep a firm grip but she manages to lose her grip and drop Bella to the ground. Bella is now on her feet and she is behind Vargas. She turns her around tucking her underneath an arm before delivering her Ashes to Ashes DDT. Mercedes is laid out on the floor and the crowd cheers with excitement.
Simone: And finally she has managed to connect with that Ashes to Ashes!
Adams: All she needs to do is find her for the pin and this one should be over!
Bella uses her legs to feel the ground. Once she feels where Vargas is she actually walks over to her feet. Once she reaches them she lifts the legs up and locks her legs with Vargas. She turns her over and puts her into her Bella Notte. She has the submission locked on tightly and Drew Patton looks over at Vargas asking her if she gives up. She fights it as best as she can.
Simone: BELLA NOTTE!!!
Adams: And VARGAS has nowhere to go... Or with that blindfold on she has no idea where the ropes are!!!
Bella keeps it locked on tightly and with no idea on where to go it is at that moment that Mercedes Vargas begins to tap out furiously. The bell sounds loudly as the crowd roars in excitement.
Simone: SHE HAS DONE IT!!!
Adams: Bella has managed to win the Blindfold match tonight!!!
Justin: And the winner of this match as a result of a submission BELLA MADISON!!!!
Bella takes her blindfold off as Drew Patton raises her hands high into the air. The crowd cheers for her loudly as Vargas is left to nurse her injuries.
Somewhere that would be considered the "backstage" when talking about a show on a cruise ship, Aron Baltasarsson and Esther Azarov are seen walking together, side by side as if in search of something, or someone(s). Their intended targets are not too far off as just ahead of them, the sound of leather being struck hard and fast can be heard. They turn the corner and there in a wide, open space being used as a rec area during the show, are their respective brothers; Fenris and "Brother" David Shepherd.
David is standing behind a boxing dummy, holding his hands against it and bracing it and himself as his tag team partner for this evening, Fenris, strikes at the leather surface with rapid shots, his fists encased in his Elite XL MMA gloves.
Esther: Well hey.
Fenris is entirely focused on his pre-match warm up but David shifts a sidelong glance to the approaching pair before resuming his position, staggering back a step as Fenris delivers a hard kick. Esther and Aron arrive at their brothers' sides, Aron tucking his hands in his pockets as Esther blows a bubble with her gum.
Aron: Well, looks like you two are getting along.
This time both Fenris and David cast a glance their way, but neither says a word. Esther coyly tilts her head to the side and smiles at her brother, David.
Esther: Anything you want to tell us, big bro?
David turns to look to her and frowns.
David: Like what?
Esther: Uh, duh! Like why the two of you aren't tearing at each others' throats any more?
Aron adds with a smile.
Aron: Or why Esther and I haven't really seen either of you in almost two days?
Fenris finally pauses and holds his hands against the dummy, turning to his brother.
Fenris: We were busy!
Esther: Getting busy?
Fenris and David BOTH stare at her smirking face, before they turn and stare at each other. David beckons his tag partner with a wave of his hand.
David: Come on.
Fenris walks around the dummy and frowns at Aron and Esther.
Fenris: Yes, we have a match to win.
Aron: Oh come ON!
But to no avail, as they stand there and watch Fenris and David disappear off-camera. Aron turns to Esther and shrugs helplessly, holding his arms out.
Aron: I can't believe they won't share the intimate details of their personal lives!
Esther blows another bubble while shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
Esther: So. Rude!
The roving camera person gets a shot of Bill Barnhart as he is walking in the backstage area headed for the staging area so he will be ready to make his entrance for his match. The look of confidence on Bill's face is all we need to know to determine how ready and confident he is for this match. Bill looks over at the camera person and he makes comments as he walks toward the staging area.
Bill: Please forgive me for not stopping to talk into the camera. I'm on my way to the staging area to be ready to make my entrance for my Tag Team match against Fenris and Brother David. I'll meet up with Senor Vinnie and our Manager, Bea, at the staging area so we can discuss the upcoming match and what we need to do to prevent any interference for the benefit of David and Fenris and to ensure the Referee watches closely to keep David and Fenris from cheating in the match.
Bill continues down the hallway where he comes to an intersection with a sign stating to go to the right to get to the staging area. Bill turns to the right and continues his comments.
Bill: There's a saying that basically states that desperate people do desperate things and that's one of the reasons I'm having Bea, as Manager in our corner, to ensure nobody cheats or runs in on the match to interfere in our win over Fenris and David. I know what you're thinking. You think that David and Fenris won't resort to cheating or calling for friends to interfere in the match but I say you're wrong in your assumption.
Barnhart comes to another intersection and this time the sign says to go straight to get to the staging area.
Bill: Brother David always cheats in his matches. He is known to have people interfere in his matches. He knows he sucks and he is viewed as pathetic compared to his tag team partner Fenris. David hears the talk in the locker room and in the backstage area. He hears the talk the fans are making. David also knows he has no way of redeeming himself which makes him even more pathetic. Although Fenris is known for great wrestling abilities he's teamed with a crappy partner to go up against me and Senor Vinnie. As I stated that desperate people often resort to desperate means there's always an outside possibility that Fenris will see a loss coming his way and do something against the rules or ask someone to run in on the match and interfere for their benefit. All I hope for is a Referee who knows how to enforce the rules and who takes complete control of the match.
Bill arrives at the staging area where he sees his wife and Manager, Bea, and his friend and tag team partner Senor Vinnie. Bill walks up and gives Bea a hug and kiss then he turns to Vinnie and gives him a firm handshake then a hug. As the three begin to discuss their ideas on the match Bea asks the camera person to please turn off their camera so there's no chance of strategy comments concerning the match will be inadvertently broadcast. The camera person does what they are gold and the scene goes black.
Simone: The men are up next in tag team action, Jason! And boy what a match up this should be!
Adams: Well considering one team basically hates each other, I'd say I know who my pick to win this one is!
Simone: I'm not sure hate is the right word, Jason...
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen our following contest is a special tag team match!
The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of six Mariachi players come out to the arena all playing a guitar. They start to play Cancion del Mariachi as all of them start to sing while walking down the rampway. Halfway they stop and three walk to the left and the other three to the right as they stand face to face before Senor Vinnie walk out to the arena. He is sporting expensive sunglasses and a sweater around his neck and carrying an atomizer. He sprays some of his cologne in the air and sniffs it up as if not wanting to smell the foul air around him.
Justin: Coming down to the ring!! Standing in at six feet eight inches and weighing in at two hundred eighty pounds!! Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico!! Senor Vinnie!!!!
Vinnie then walks to the ring and enters, heading toward the center of the ring where he poses. His music dies down and he waits for the match to begin.
Justin: And his tag team partner...
Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed his English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar.
Justin: Making his way to the ring! Weighing in at two hundred forty pounds! From Lawrenceville, Georgia...BULLDOG BILL BARNHARDT!!
When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into his corner with Vinnie.
"If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray begins to play across the building and the crowd turns with anticipation towards the entrance as "the White Wolf" Fenris emerges from behind the curtains with his younger brother at his side. As Aron looks on, Fenris stands stoically, looking out towards the capacity crowd before dropping to one knee with head bowed. He symbolically crosses his heart and looks 'up' in homage before standing upright and beginning his journey toward the ring with his brother following close behind.
Justin: Making his way toward the ring! Accompanied by Aron Baltasarsson, from Iceland, weighing two hundred and four pounds -- Fenris!
Despite the fans that reach out toward him, Fenris does not reciprocate and his attention is solely on the ring, whereas the smiling Aron good naturedly slaps a hand or two that extends toward him. Fenris climbs the ring steps and walks along the apron, turning towards the fans and extends his arms up and begins the 'Viking Clap.' Slowly but surely, despite any potential misgivings towards the young man, many fans join along with him in the Viking Clap. Aron holds the ropes for his brother, and Fenris steps through and continues the clap from one corner to the next, drawing in the energy of the crowd. Joined by Aron, Fenris returns to his own corner and paces like a wolf stalking his prey, kicking off his slippers to compete barefoot as the claps slowly subside.
Justin: And his tag team partner!
A white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Feel Invincible" by Skillet begins to play through the arena. The crowd boos and gets louder when the announcer speaks up.
Justin: On his way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma he is six feet four inches and weighed in this morning at two hundred forty five pounds! Representing The Church of The Good Shepherds he is Brother David Shepherd!
And the boos become louder. David walks out onto the stage, throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand as he comes to the center of the stage. He walks down the aisle as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and jumps up onto the apron. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and bounces off of the ropes multiple times with high, angry energy. He settles into the corner with Fenris and the two begin debating who will begin the match.
Simone: They seem...civil...
Adams: For now! Just wait! This match will implode in minutes!
Simone: I'm not so sure I agree.
Eventually both teams decide who will begin the match, and it falls on Bill Barnhardt and Fenris. David and Vinnie step through the ropes as referee Drew Patton stands between both Bill and Fenris. Once all is clear, Drew calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Bill and Fenris slowly approach one another, circling their way around the ring as they do. Both men have their most intimidating faces on and it appears that Bill tries to be more intimidating than Fenris, knowing how the White Wolf can be. They eventually stop just inches away from each other and Bill puffs his chest out and tries to assert his power as Fenris just glares at him with his fists clench at his sides. Bill then looks past Fenris and over to David in the corner, mouthing a few words to him and Fenris briefly takes his eyes off of Bill. Bill tries to use this to his advantage by swinging and attempting a hard right blow to the head, but Fenris sees Bill from the corner of his eye and he ducks the shot, and jumps forward!
Simone: Did he really think he was going to outsmart Fenris like that?
Adams: He very nearly did!
Simone: Very nearly isn't good enough.
Both men spin around and finally grapple as they lock up in the center of the ring. Bill seems to overpower Fenris slightly, given his size advantage, but Fenris has Bill right where he wants him! Fenris takes the opportunity to swing his right leg and hit a nasty kick to Bill's left leg and knee! The two are still locked up as Bill nearly loses his footing, and Fenris follows it up with a kick to the other leg and repeats the process until Bill finally releases his hold on Fenris and drops down to his knees!
Adams: I'd say Fenris has Bill where he wants him, but I'm not sure it's Bill who he wants on his knees in front of him...
Simone: JASON!
Adams: What?! Tell me I'm wrong!
Simone: ...I don't think I can.
Fenris wastes no time as he quickly backs up against the ropes then charges forward towards bill, hitting him with a knee to the head! Bill drops back and Fenris covers Bill as Drew drops down for the count!
ONE!
TWO!
Bill gets his shoulder up!
Simone: Not quite!
Whereas most would be frustrated at a failed pin attempt, Fenris just gets back to work. He grabs Bill by his right leg and tries to drag him towards the center of the ring, choosing to work over the leg as a means to keep Bill off his feet. Bill quickly realizes what he is trying to do and before he is too far away, Bill grabs a hold of the bottom rope, holding it for dear life. Fenris continues to try and pull Bill away, but Drew Patton has to warn The White Wolf to let him go, or fear disqualification!
Adams: Would Fenris care if he got disqualified?
Simone: Probably not. But I'm sure David wouldn't be too happy about that.
Fenris is backed away on the opposite side of the ring as Bill is now back on his feet leaning against the ropes. As soon as he is, Fenris charges across the ring, going for a clothesline, but Bill ducks and attempts to send Fenris sailing over the top rope! Fenris lands on the ring apron, however, and he wraps both his arms around Bill, getting a sleeper hold locked in from the outside of the ring! Bill struggles for a moment, temporarily panicked, but he swings an elbow back and hits Fenris in the side of the head and Fenris falls down to the outside, though landing on his feet!
Simone: Quick reflexes twice by Fenris!
Adams: He's like a cat! Always lands on his feet!
Simone: And yet he prefers dogs.
Vinnie is yelling at Bill with his hand extended into the ring! Bill looks over to his partner then to Fenris on the outside and quickly tags Vinnie in! Instead of getting into the ring, Vinnie turns his attention to Fenris on the outside and he attempts to take Fenris down by launching himself off the ring apron right at him! However, Fenris sees this and ducks forward before sliding back into the ring! Vinnie does a somersault as he crashes to the ground below, avoiding injury before he jumps back to his feet, spins around and sees his opponent back in the ring! He quickly runs and slides in under the bottom rope where Fenris is waiting for him!
Adams: Things are starting to pick up pace a little bit here.
Simone: Well..as long as Bill isn't in the match.
Adams: Rude, Belinda!
Simone: But oh so true.
Vinnie has just rolled onto his back and as Fenris goes to deliver a stomp to the head, Vinnie catches his Fenris foot and causes him to start hopping on one leg. Vinnie is able to do one quick sweep and send Fenris crashing backwards and down to the canvas. On the other side of the ring, David watches with a silent frustration, waiting as patiently as he can to finally be tagged in. Vinnie leaps on top of Fenris and begins unleashing a fury of right and left shots, trying to wear Fenris down.
Simone: Fenris has to do something, or Vinnie just might get the better of him.
Adams: And that is what Vinnie wants!
As Vinnie continues it appears Fenris has gotten his arms up to block his face from further assault, but he's growing more frustrated. He lets out an angry wolf-life growl before he flips Vinnie over and takes control! He delivers his own furious series of shots before he jumps up back to his feet. Bill is attempting to get into the ring to interfere and help his partner but Fenris bolts over and kicks the big man in the face and he falls through the ropes and to the outside! Vinnie has just enough time to get back to his feet!
Simone: Bill no so lucky to land on his feet it seems. But Fenris better watch out!
Fenris spins around and both men charge at each other and take each other down in a double clothesline! Bill is back on his feet on the outside and pulls himself up to his corner as he and David are now holding their hands into the ring, begging to be tagged in! As Fenris is making his way towards David, Vinnie grabs his foot to try and stop him, but with one swift kick to the face, Vinnie lets go and Fenris leaps forward, tagging in David! Vinnie is just inches away from Bill with his hand outstretched but David grabs him and pulls him away furiously!
Adams: David finally has his time to shine!
Simone: Shine? He looks absolutely livid right now!
David pulls Vinnie up to his feet and before sending him sailing across the ring and against the opposite set of ropes, nails him with a few right shots and then an uppercut! As Vinnie runs against the ropes and then rebounds back, David runs towards him, bringing his knee up to try and catch Vinnie's midsection and flip him forward, but Vinnie launches himself forward and takes David down with a spear instead!
Adams: Ooh! Nice spear!
Simone: David wouldn't agree with that statement, Jason.
David is left momentarily stunned, but Vinnie is the one having to collect himself quickly! He rolls and turns toward Bill, ready to tag his friend back into the match. He begins crawling towards Bill as David sits up and turns his attention towards what is about to happen. Vinnie looks back and having been caught by David, he crawls even faster and just before David stops him, he makes the tag!
Adams: And here comes Bill once again!
Simone: David seems to be welcoming the big man back into the ring! Look at that smile!
David is back on his feet quickly as Bill bursts through the ropes and comes barreling toward him! David has a sick smile on his face and thinking he knows what Bill is going to do, he ducks prematurely, but Bill stops dead in his tracks right in front of David! He kicks David as he ducks forward and when David fumbles back, Bill grabs him, wraps his arms around him in a bear hug, and then superplexes him up and over and across the ring with authority!
Simone: I bet he's not so happy Bill is the legal man now. Bill is absolutely overpowering him.
Bill is back on his feet in no time and David is trying to pull himself back up to his feet with assistance from the ropes. Bill stays on the offensive as he approaches David. With David's back to Bill, Bill locks his arms around David once again and, try as David might to hold on to the ropes, all it takes is one power tug and Bill pulls David back and delivers another suplex before rolling back and rolling David up into a pin! Drew drops down!
Adams: Uh oh! Bad news for David!
ONE!
TWO!
Th-No! David somehow manages to kick out! He leaps forward, putting as much space between he and Bill, furious that Bill almost got the best of him!
Simone: David got lucky there. Bill almost had him.
Both men are on their feet once again and they charge at one another. Bill goes for a lock up, but David just collides with Bill, hitting him with a forearm to the head and trying to take him off his feet. It causes Bill to be unsteady on his feet, but he keeps his balance and begins fighting back against David. Eventually he grabs David's arm and then sends him sailing across the ring and crashing into the corner near Vinnie! Drew doesn't catch it, but Vinnie grabs a hold of David and holds him in the corner! Fenris sees this and attempts to burst through the ropes only for Drew to stop him!
Adams: Here it is! The beginning of the end!
Simone: Maybe so, but not the way you thought! Fenris and David actually seem to be working quite well together!
With Drew distracted, Bill goes charging across the ring like a freight train! David is fighting to break free from Vinnie's grasp and at the last second, he rears his head back and hits Vinnie with a headbutt, then ducks! Bill has to skid to a halt before crashing into the corner and knocking Vinnie off the apron, and just as Drew finally gets Fenris back outside the ring and spins around to do his job, he catches Vinnia tag himself in!
Simone: Vinnie's back in!
Adams: And Fenris is still fuming!
Vinnie darts through the ropes, but David is furious at this point after Vinnie tried to keep him in the corner the way he did! Vinnie rushes at David, and David rushes at Vinnie and the two lock up in the center of the ring! Vinnie pushes back against David at first, but with a deep breath and a guttoral growl, David pushes back and backs Vinnie against the ropes! Drew orders David to break the hold, and he does only for a moment before Vinnie takes a few steps towards him!
Simone: I hope every man in the back is watching this. This aggression from David could be something to fear, I feel.
David kicks Vinnie in the midsection, causing Vinnie to double forward. David grabs him by his hair and sends him sailing over the top rope! Vinnie crashes to the outside, landing awkwardly on his right leg and immediately holds it! David steps through the ropes and jumps down to the ground, not an ounce of concern that Vinnie appears to be injured! If anything, it gives him an idea!
Simone: Oh..Oh no. Vinnie looks seriously hurt!
Adams: I don't like the way he landed on that leg! And the way David is looking at him! This isn't good!
David grabs Vinnie by his now injured right leg and drags him away! Vinnie howls in pain as David drags him towards the ring steps where he begins to bang Vinnie's leg against the steel steps with no regard for the amount of pain he is in! Bill drops down from the ring apron, as does Fenris on the opposite side and he charges around the ring towards Bill!
Simone: Fenris is stopping Bill! But David is about to cripple Vinnie!
David's next move is one that shocks everyone! He sets Vinnie's leg in between the two pieces of the ring steps, leaving Vinnie absolutely helpless! Before Bill can stop David, Fenris crashes into Bill from behind and David STOMPS on the ring steps as they squeeze against Vinnie's leg! Vinnie is screaming at this point and Drew is now outside, checking on him, ordering David to back away!
Simone: Oh..My...GOD! I...I can't believe what...
Adams: It's over. It has to be! Vinnie is the legal man!
Drew checks on Vinnie and when it becomes clear he can not continue, he immediately calls for the bell and signals for medical attention at ringside! David just smiles wickedly down at what he has done.
DING DING DING!
Drew rushes over to Justin Decent everyone waits silently. Bill has now crawled his way towards his friend and tag team partner and Fenris has pulled David back slowly.
Justin: Ladies and gentleman, I have just been informed that Senor Vinnie is unable to continue the match! As the legal participant at the time, referee Drew Patton has declared Fenris and Brother David Shepherd your winners due to medical stoppage!
The crowd erupts in a mixed reaction as David continues to smile wickedly. Medical personnel are now at ringside assisting Senor Vinnie as Fenris begins dragging David backstage.
Simone: I can't believe what we just witnessed, but at the same time I am not surprised. Love him or hate him, Vinnie is in some serious pain right now.
Adams: His leg could be broken.
Simone: Only time will tell, but we will hopefully had a medical update soon.
We see Rainbow standing in the ring waiting for Omasa to come out as she jogs on the spot and stretches, however, nobody appears until ????? - "???? (REMIX) feat. NORIKIYO,SHINGO???, ?" starts to play. The crowd ohh as the recent fired Omasa comes out from the curtain with Jade, Orchid and Celeste surrounding her and making sure she doesn't leave.
Raising the mic to her lips she begins to speak...
[translated to english]Omasa: Orchid, Jade and Celeste don't thrust me. I was coming out here anyway but they were threatening to beat me if I didn't hurry up. I can beat everyone but doesn't mean I work for GRIME.
Rainbow shakes her head and turns to the official.
Rainbow: GRIME matches have no rules.
Rainbow nods at Orchid, Jade and Celeste who all attack Omasa at once sending her down to the floor, but they pick Omasa up and drag her into the ring and throw her in and they follow close behind as the bell ring...
DING DING DING!
Rainbow, Orchid, Celeste and Jade surround Omasa and prepare to attack when Victim of Me by The Descendants hits over the p.a as they look up at the entrance shocked, as Omasa smiles as she moves away from Rainbow, Orchid, Celeste and Jade all confident that she is going to get help.
As the music dies down and no-one appears, the smile on Omasa's face disappears and Rainbow, Orchid, Celeste and Jade all laugh and Rainbow hits a forearm shot to the back of Omasa's head and she stumbles forward and Jade trips Omasa up and all four begin to stomp on Omasa. Omasa tries to cover up with little success as Rainbow directs them to stop and pull Omasa up to her feet. They pull Omasa and Rainbow begins to unleash a series of punches, kicks and knee strikes on Omasa before backing away and allowing Orchid, Celeste and Jade to have their turn in giving Omasa a beating...
Rainbow: Time to unmask ladies.
Orchid, Jade and Celeste stop and back away and peel away their masks to reveal Alana Allure, Celeste North and Orchid. As Rainbow nods, they pull Omasa to her feet once more as Omasa looks around to see her three of four attackers faces for the first time.
Once again Victim of Me by The Descendants hits over the p.a again and everyone looks to the entrance once more but this time Rainbow grabs at mask and pulls it off to reveal the newly crowned GRIME Nightmare champion... Amy Marshall, as the fans in attendance all look shocked at first before cheering her on. Omasa turns to see Amy and her face drops and Rainbow delivers a stinging slap to the face.
Suddenly Jennifer LaCroix come rushing down to the ring and makes a beeline for Celeste North, they release Omasa and turn their attention to Jennifer.and they beat on her before ejecting her from the ring before returning their attention back to Omasa who is trying to exit the ring but they grab her feet and drag her back and Amy grabs her by the hair and pulls her up and then hits a double knee backbreaker. Amy backs away to allow Alana, Celeste and Orchid to have their shots on Omasa.
Amy grins, as Linnea and Merlot rush down with Kendo sticks. Amy, Celeste, Orchid and Alana leave the ring and leave through the crowd looking pleased with the damage already done in the ring.
The scene cuts to Myra Rivers with the SCW Bombshells Internet Championship. She knows that she's about to face the toughest challenge of her Sin City Wrestling run and yet, she doesn't seem intimidated one bit by what she's about to go up against. That determination is flowing through her quite strongly as she begins to express her thoughts.
Myra: Before I came here, I was written off. My career was labelled as 'over' by some wrestling pundits and those same pundits expressed shock that this company would even sign me at all. Even then, I was seen as someone that was around to just have 'one last run' and not really make that sort of significant impact. It seemed like those critics would be proven right when I lost my second match here and suddenly found myself across the ring from Amber Ryan at Into the Void last year. You know how many wrestling pundits thought I was going to win that match? Zero. You know who the pundits were favoring when I was challenging Kate Steele for this championship on this very cruise last year? It definitely wasn't me. And just beating her for the title wasn't enough to turn heads, I had to defend against her too. After that? You had the likes of Sam Marlowe, Seleana Zdunich, Roxi Johnson... just to name a few notable defenses... all of them being former world champions of course. There was also my run in the Blast from the Past tournament as well. None of that wouldn't have been possible if I didn't win the one match NOBODY thought I would win... and that was against you, Amber.
It's crazy how things go full circle, right? Words weren't minced. I didn't hold back, nor did you, as expected. I know that at one point last year, you didn't think much of me. I remember how going into our first encounter, you had no respect for me and wanted to do and say anything you could to bring me down. And yet, despite all of that, I never held any contempt against you. In spite of all of that, I had always respected you for what you could do in that ring which I know for some was a shock considering the fact that you were part of something at a former mutual company of ours that I vehemently hated. But no, I never brought myself to hate you. I never brought myself to even dislike you. I can't say we'll ever be friends, but from me to you there was never any grudge. The outcome of this match won't change that. Amber, for years, I used to hold a grudge against some people for some of the more heartbreaking losses I had suffered over the years. Some would say I would have a reason for one, but I never could and I never will. I understand that you've had challengers and enemies in the past that have thrown hatred your way. I understand that you've had people in this division that have openly stated that they are going to kill you. I never was one of those people.
I never WILL be one of those people.
I'm at peace with where I am as a professional wrestler. After thirteen and a half years of being on the mainstream, I finally "got it". I would love to be part of the amazing, prestigious history of the SCW Bombshells World Championship, absolutely. One way or another, some day or another, I will be. Wrestling is about far more than just accomplishments and being the best wrestler in the company. Some wrestlers never get that and they beat themselves into retirement when they can't meet that goal. No matter what happens tonight, I've established myself in this company. I've proven that I am better at this point in my career than at any other point in my career and it's not a matter of IF I win that championship, but WHEN and WHEN is going to be tonight!
This title isn't just for me, Amber. It's for my sister. It's for my daughter. My fans. It's for everyone that has stood by me over the years. I know in my heart that should I win this world championship, I will represent this company proudly and I will raise that bar to a whole different level just as you and I are going to do it tonight. The worst you can do to me Amber, is slow me down. I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of your reputation. I never was to begin with. And hell, I've never been more ready for an opportunity like this than I am right now. I suppose it just MAY be fate that on my 350th day as Internet Champion on my 37th birthday no less, I win my 20th title overall and my 5th world title. But in order for that to come to fruition, it is I that has to create that fate and that's exactly what I am going to do.
This is the night where it all comes together for me Amber. You're not going to stop me. You can only slow me down. You can only delay what I am confident in my heart will be inevitable. Most may not think I'm going to do it, but I will do it. I WILL beat you. I WILL become World Champion tonight. So many times, I've bucked trends, defied odds and proven the majority opinion wrong...
Tonight?
I will do so one more time...
Myra takes one last deep breath before she makes her final departure. She carries that heart, determination and most of all confidence and an inner security she's never had in her out of the room and into the match to come as the scene fades out.
Simone: It has been a wet and wild night here at Summer XXXTreme, but it is time for the first of our two Main Events, it is a clash of two of our most dominant women's champions of recent times as the World Bombshell Champion Amber Ryan takes on the Bombshell Internet Champion Myra Rivers in a Winner Takes All Match!
Adams: Bringing up Myra's year long title reign and nine defences at this point is redundant but after Roxi Johnson failed to get the job done at Into the Void X many were questioning who would have what it takes to dethrone Myra and in my opinion? Amber might just be the woman for the job! Amber won the title from Christina Rose at Blaze of Glory IX and since then, she's turned away Ruby Steele, Courtney Pierce and Alicia Lukas but can Myra end her reign?
Simone: We are looking at a match of the year candidate people so strap yourselves in as we take it to Justin!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a winner takes all match for the SCW World Bombshell and Bombshell Internet Championships, scheduled for one fall!
Pulsing, red lights rolls over the crowd like a rising tide to the opening echoing thudding stomp and clap of 'Dust and Bone' by Syd Duran, fluctuating in time with the heavy beat as it continues into the opening vocals. Most cheer in anticipation, but there are few who still jeer due to affiliations or just the fickle nature of a wrestling crowd on any given night. Atop the ramp, the lithe silhouette of the Distorted Angel seems to have materialised, soaking up the crowd's reaction and energy. Fans reach out for acknowledgement and wave signs in the same way that others lean out over the rail as much as they dare to yell expletives and empty threats- some get a perceptive nod, a sly wink or perhaps even a kiss blown in sarcasm towards the most derisive. Fluidly, Amber circles the ring- beelining for a camera person before trying to mess with them or talking some shit down into the camera lens.
Justin: Introducing first, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, she is the reigning and defending World Bombshell Champion, Amber Ryan!
Slipping under the rope, Amber doesn't call for fanfare nor adulation, just making her way to the closest turnbuckle so that she might leisurely perch herself on the top with hands clasped and elbows resting on her knees in rather non-plussed outside of the trademark sly smirk seemingly ever-present on her features.
Simone: Amber has only been in the company for a little over a year by this point, but she has proven to be one of the most dominant and vicious Bombshells we've seen in a long time!
Adams: But she has been known to give credit to an opponent where it's due, just ask Krystal Wolfe who had the misfortune of drawing against her in the opening round of this year's Blast from the Past Tournament!
Justin: And her opponent!
"Come to Life" by Alter Bridge hits the speakers and the crowd lets out a strong reaction of support as Myra Rivers appears on the stage, already looking to take care of business.
Justin: From Miami, Florida, she is the reigning and defending SCW Bombshell Internet Champion, Myra Rivers!
She heads down the ramp momentarily pausing at the bottom to give a quick smile at anyone nearby that is letting her know that they are behind her. Once the chorus starts, she gets inside of the ring and walks up to the opposite corner, adjacent to the ring announcer. She leans against the corner, focused and determined for her upcoming match, revelling in the continued showering of love the crowd is raining upon her.
Simone: Much like Amber, Myra has only been in SCW for a year but most of that year was spent as Bombshell Internet Champion!
Adams: And look at the women Myra has turned away since winning the gold, Kate Steele, Sam Marlowe, Maki twice, Seleana Zdunich, Candy, Ruby Steele, Johanna Krieger and most recently Roxi Johnson, that's a variable whose who of the Bombshell division!
Dawn goes over the rules with Amber and Myra before she calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: No matter who wins tonight, one impressive title reign will end!
Adams: Either Myra's yearlong Bombshell Internet reign or Amber's dominant reign as World Bombshell Title reign, neither woman is willing to give up the gold that easily!
As soon as the bell rings Amber charges Myra and tries to get things off on the right foot with a cheap shot, however Myra sees her coming and matches her blow for blow as they engage in a vicious brawl in the middle of the ring, Dawn can only watch on after two futile attempts to regain some order as the two veteran Bombshells trade shots inside the ring but after a few minutes it's Myra that takes the advantage by sending Amber to the outside through the middle ropes once they are close enough.
Simone: There are several ways I expected this match to start, an all out brawl between Myra and Amber was not one of them!
Adams: You can say that again Belinda! Whilst Amber is known for her brawling style, Myra is more of a technical/submission expert!
Myra doesn't even wait for Dawn to start her count before she follows Amber to the outside to continue the brawl, but Amber is waiting for her this time and meets her with a European Uppercut, as the count reaches five Amber spots the Ultimate X structure from the Over the Pool matches that were hosted earlier in the night and, after rolling in and out of the ring to break the count, sends Myra flying face first into the structure.
Simone: I know the ring was put close to the pool for simplicity's sake, but the bosses had to know that something like that would happen when they decided to leave taking down the structure until after the show!
Adams: Amber was smart to take advantage of that oversight by the bosses and Myra is going to be feeling that in the morning!
Amber grabs Myra by the hair and throws the bloodied Bombshell Internet Champion back into the ring before following her in and going for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
And Myra kicks out! Amber shakes her head in response before she backs off to let Myra get back to her feet but changes her plan when Myra retreats to a corner, instead going for a running knee to Myra's face but Myra rolls out of the way, stuns Amber with a Roundhouse kick and locks her into a Cross-Arm Breaker prompting Dawn to get into position to check on Amber and see if she wants to submit.
Simone: Myra has that Cross-Arm Breaker locked in tight on Amber!
Adams: Does she though? Amber's already fighting out of it!
Amber manages to link her fingers together and grips tightly to prevent Myra from getting the Cross-Arm Breaker and Myra tries to loosen her grip but it's no use as Myra is unable to prevent Amber from getting back to her feet and that's when Amber uses her free hand to rain down some heavy shots eventually forcing her to let go off Amber's arm and change tactics, but Myra proves that she can give as much as she can take by spearing Amber to the matt and delivering some heavy shots of her own.
Simone: Myra might be a technical/submission specialist but she's proving that she can hang with Amber in a brawl.
Adams: Myra has held onto the Bombshell Internet Championship for a year for a damn good reason!
Amber manages to get over the element of surprise and blocks a few of Myra's punches by using her forearms to block the punches to her face but this merely proves to be an advantage for Myra as she goes for the Cross-Arm Breaker again, Amber tries the same reversal as she did the last time Myra tried the submission, but Myra is ready for it, reversing it into a small package and prompting Dawn to change position.
ONE!
TWO!
And Amber kicks out.
Simone: Amber is showing the resilience that brought her to the dance in the first place!
Adams: But Myra is continuing to show that her year long title reign was no fluke!
Both women get back to their feet and Amber makes the first move by going for a clothesline, but Myra ducks under it and executes the Dream Crusher!
Simone: DREAM CRUSHER! AMBER LOOKS TO BE OUT COLD!
Adams: Stick a fork in Amber, she's done!
Myra goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Thre.........NO!
Simone: AMBER HAS KICKED OUT OF THE DREAM CRUSHER!
Adams: NO ONE HAS EVER KICKED OUT OF THAT MOVE SINCE MYRA'S DEBUT!
Myra sits there with a stunned look on her face, and she turns to Dawn, seeing the look on Myra's face, Dawn nods to confirm that yes, Amber kicked out of her finisher! Myra gets over her shock before picking up Amber and trying for the Dream Crusher again but this time around it's Amber that reverses it and hits Myra with the Original Sin!
Simone: And now Amber has hit Myra with the Original Sin!
Adams: Can she get the pin? Can we get the fork ready?
Amber goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Simone: MYRA KICKS OUT!
Adams: AMBER USED THAT MOVE TO BEAT COURTNEY PIERCE AND RUBY STEELE IN HER FIRST TWO DEFENSES! WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE?!
Amber is clearly starting to lose her cool as she slaps the matt three times before getting in Dawn's face, but Dawn once again assures her that yes, the pinfall was fair, behind her back Myra is using the ring ropes to pull herself before to her feet and seeing this, Amber moves away from Dawn and goes to whip Myra off the ropes, but Myra reverses it before leaping to the middle rope and going for a cross body! However Amber catches her in mid-air with a thrust kick causing her to crash and burn but Amber is unable to stay on her feet and collapses from the exhaustion of the long match!
Simone: Now both Myra and Amber are down and out!
Adams: I reckon whoever gets up first will walk out with both titles!
It's at the count of seven that Myra gets back to her feet first and, seeing that Amber is still down, she drags her opponent to the corner and starts going to the top rope but the blood loss from the beginning of the match impedes her progress and allows Amber to not only get up but join her opponent on the top rope where they exchange punches, but one ducked punch allows Amber to get Myra into position for a Vertebreaker!
Simone: NO! NO! AMBER'S ABOUT TO DROP MYRA HEAD FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH THE SAWDUST IN THE BLOOD!
Adams: I CAN'T WATCH!
Dawn ties to talk Amber out of it but Amber isn't listening, and she executes the move causing Myra to slump down to the matt below!
Simone: SAWDUST IN THE BLOOD ON THE TOP ROPE! AND YES, YOU HEARD ME FOLKS, ON THE TOP ROPE!
Adams: There's no way Myra's kicking out of that! Stick a fork in Myra, she's done!
Amber goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND.........
Justin trails off, clearly unable to process what he's about to say.
Justin: STILL WORLD BOMBSHELL CHAMPION AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPION, AMBER RYAN!
Simone: I can't believe it! Myra's year long title reign has ended on defence number ten!
Adams: And the reign of Amber continues, what a match!
Paramedics rush down to check on Myra and even Amber takes time out of her celebration to check on the now former Bombshell Internet Champion.
Backstage we are in the medical office. It is there where we can see Ruby with Courtney Pierce. Courtney is in tears as an SCW Medical official begins to look over her.
Ruby: I AM SO SORRY BABE.... I am sorry I couldn't be there for you!!!
Courtney screams louder than before as Pussy Willow walks into the shot. Ruby just sighs as she begins to scream at the doctor.
Ruby: PLEASE TELL ME THINGS ARE GOING TO BE OKAY!!!
The official just shakes his head as he lets a sigh escape his mouth.
Official: I am sorry but the ankle is broken... Courtney is going to need surgery to fix this and...
Ruby: THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!! She just came back... it's bullshit that this bitch would hurt her just to prove a point.
Pussy: Is everything okay?!
Ruby is locked in a trance as she looks right at the camera.
Ruby: Does everything seem like it's BLOODY OKAY!!! Tonight that Bitch hurt my girlfriend and I am beyond pissed.... CAN WE PULL THE SHIP OVER AND GET HER TO A HOSPITAL?!
Official: We have to wait until the show is over and the ship pulls back into port. What I can do is make sure that an ambulance is waiting and...
Ruby looks over at Pussy and shakes her head in disgust at her.
Ruby: You want to know how I feel?! This is bloody outrageous. On a night that I announced my return to this company I didn't expect that stupid cowardly Alicia to attack my girlfriend. She wants to break her ankle?! She officially made things very personal and I will happily put her in her place. I don't know if this is way too soon but I believe the next show is Violent Conduct... Christian and Mark I don't care what you have to do but you better make sure I get my bloody damn hands on her but I want ALICIA LUKAS... I will show her something that is OUTRAGEOUS!!! She broke something I love and I will break her face. It's not a threat... It's a promise!
With that Ruby continues to try to be there for her girlfriend as we go elsewhere.
Mac Bane is seen standing by the improvised Gorilla position as Pussy Willow approaches. He's not really paying attention to her as he stands with his eyes closed. She touches him gently on the arm and his eyes pop open. He glances at her and she begins.
Pussy: I apologize, I didn't mean to startle you.
Mac tilts his head first to the left and then the right and an audible popping can be heard.
Mac Bane: It's okay, I'm sure you have questions...
She smiles and breathes a sigh of relief.
Pussy: I do, I wanted to get your thoughts going into this match and I wanted to ask you about why you took exception to some of the things that Mark said.
He smiles a genuine smile, then crosses his left arm in front of him, cupping the elbow of his other arm. He begins tapping his finger on his lips.
Mac Bane: The exception I took to what Mark said was really as simple as, if you are the only one laughing then it's not funny. I don't do well with backhanded compliments to be honest. As for the match itself?
She nods.
Mac Bane: My entire career, I've been doubted, overlooked and passed over for these types of opportunities. I've had to scratch and claw every step of the way to get the title shots. The Sin City fans know this, it's one of the reasons they react the way they do to me. They also know that I'll leave every single ounce of everything I am in that ring tonight. Win or lose, they'll get the very best I have.
She smiles and continues.
Pussy: Any final words then before your music is queued up?
Mac Bane: Yeah, Mark and Christian, thank you for making this happen.
Simone: Fans, we are mere moments away from the grand finale of Summer XXXTreme IX; the Main Event between World Heavyweight Champion Mark Cross, and Internet Champion Mac Bane! We already witnessed Amber Ryan walk away with both championships only moments ago...
Adams: Which of these two men will end the night, doing the same??
Simone: That is what we are here to find out! Let's go to ringside...!
The camera switches to the ringside area, showcasing referee Jacob Summers stepping though the ropes to mild applause. He takes his position on the far left as Justin, standing against the ropes, begins the introductions.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Title Versus Title, Winner Take All Main Event of Summer XXXTreme IX!
The crowd cheers!!!
The opening for "No Good Bastards" by Tom MacDonald begins to play and the crowd is instantly on their feet booing the big Texan. He stands there soaking it in and allowing their hate to energize him as he stands on the stage. They only get louder as he makes his way towards the ring, he walks slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring. Finally he reaches the ringsteps and makes his way into the ring. He approaches the center of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs at the chorus of boos that rains down on him from the crowd.
The arena lights dim as the bassline to "Never Again" begins to rumble around the arena. As the guitar riff hits, so does the lights, revealing Mark "The Dragon" Cross standing, one fist aloft, at the top of the aisle. Receiving recognition from the crowd, he strides purposefully to ringside, taking a moment to survey the scene as he reaches the apron and enters the ring. Once inside, both World and Internet Champions stand in their respective corners but neither takes their eyes off of the other.
Justin: Introducing first! From Port Arthur, Texas, weighing in at two hundred and eighty pounds, he is the Internet Champion -- Mac Bane!
Mac steps from out of his corner to much fanfare and stands in the center of the ring, staring at Mark with hard, cold eyes while raising the Internet title belt high!
Justin: And his opponent! From Canterbury, England, standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 225lb, he is the World Heavyweight Champion ...Mark "The Dragon" Crrrrrrrrrosssssss!!!
Mark matches Mac, stepping from his corner and standing in the center of the ring to the crowds' response, both positive and otherwise! He strips the World title belt from his waist and holds it up high, nose to nose with Mac!
Adams: I can't remember when there's been this much on the line in a title match!
Simone: Not even an hour ago; between Myra and Amber.
Adams: Oh yeahhh! Those two Bombshells tore the house down!
Simone: And now it's time to see whether or not the men can do the same in bringing this event to a close!
Jacob manages to separate the two, while relinquishing them of their respective belts. Mark and Mac return to their corners as Jacob holds up high both the World Heavyweight Championship as well as the Internet Championship - and the crowd. Is. Lit!
Adams: Listen to the fans! They're more excited than I am!
Simone: With so much on the line, how can they not be??
Jacob finally passes the titles out to Justin who sets them at ringside. Jacob looks first to Mark and then to Mac - and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
And the crowd is already alive for this, the Main Event of Summer XXXTreme IX! They clap and stomp as Mark and Mac emerge from their corners, rallying the fans as they circle the ring, sizing each other up! They finally pause, readying themselves and they lunge! Locking up, collar and elbow!
Simone: And it begins - and already it looks like Mac is going to have the edge here!
Indeed as Mac has a distinct size advantage over the World Champion. Mark struggles but eventually Mac manages to slowly back him up against the ropes. He drapes Mark's arms around the top rope as Cross freezes, expecting the attack. Jacob calls for a clean break - and Mac obliges!
Adams: Wow...
Mac smiles, patting the World Champion on the chest with both hands before indeed backing away at the official's request. Mark stares briefly from the referee to Mac and comes off of the ropes. The two men circle again, and once again they lock up. Again Mac backs Cross up against the ropes, but as Jacob orders a second break, Mark suddenly uses his leverage to reverse their positions, backing the Internet Champion against the ropes! Mark rears a fist back, against Jacob's warning -- when Mark turns and smirks at Bane and backs away, patting his cheek sarcastically.
Adams: Ooo!
And an annoyed Mac comes off of the ropes and SHOVES Mark, knocking him down onto his backside!
Simone: Well Mark got cocky and paid for it!
Mark gets right to his feet and shoves Mac back a step, returning the favor! Mac fumes, looking out to the fans, before turning back and taking a wild swing at Mark but the World Champion ducks and counters, throwing Bane over with an arm drag!
Adams: Had Mac hit that, he would have taken Mark's head off!
Mac gets up, angry and embarrassed, and he charges straight at Cross but Mark catches him in a single leg takedown, dropping him face and chest first to the canvas! Mark jumps up and runs right ACROSS him and into the ropes! Mac is back on his feet and goes for a big boot as Cross rebounds but Mark ducks under and comes off the far side of the ring - and runs right into a brick wall! Mac plows into him with a shoulder block that sends Cross crashing back to the mat, head over heels! The crowd reacts in stunned gasps as Mac is all over Mark, pinning him down on his back and he whops lefts and rights, delivering clubbing blows into his head as mark tries to shield himself with his forearms as Jacob counts...!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
But Mac jumps off of Cross before he can be disqualified! Mac drags Cross up by the hair and shoves him between the top and middle rope, then bends him back and ala Sheamus, starts delivering swinging forearms from behind into his exposed chest and the fans take delight by counting along...!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Adams: EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Simone: Jason!
Finally Jacob forces a breather for Cross by backing Mac away, Bane playfully holding his hands up in a mock innocence. Mark slowly drags himself back into the ring and turns around. Mac brushes past the official and charges - but Cross drops down and pulls the top rope down along with him, causing the Internet Champion to fall out over the top and land hard on the ringside deck of the ship!
Adams: Advantage - Mark Cross!
Simone: The man is a veteran and saw that coming from a mile away!
Rather than go right out after Bane, Cross plays the smart card and gets in a breather as Mac recovers at ringside while Jacob begins his count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Mac stands up and finds Mark taunting him from ringside, beckoning him to get back in the ring. Mark then adds insult to injury by stepping up to the ropes and sitting on the middle rope, holding it wide open for Bane's return. Mac smiles and nods, and starts to climb up onto the apron to oblige, when he suddenly drops back down and grabs Cross by the leg and DRAGS him out of the ring!
Simone: Oh now HERE we go!
Adams: I think mark is about to regret taunting the big man!
Mac wastes no time in firing meaty right hands to Mark's head, paying Jacob no heed, nor his warnings! Mac grabs Mark by the hair and slams his head into the ring apron and Mark rears back, holding his head as Mac goes back to the attack, clobbering him from behind and knocking him to his knees! Mac grabs him by the head and pulls him up, going to send him into the barricade but the crafty Cross counters with a reversal and sends the Internet Champion crashing instead!
Adams: Hey, Mark Cross can fight dirty too if he wants!
Simone: Both men can! That is why I do not envy Jacob in having to try and control this one!
Mark takes a few steps back and darts forward, lunging for his opponent but Mac sees him coming and grabs Mark, driving him into the steel! Mac grabs Mark and rolls him back inside of the ring, beneath the bottom rope and follows him in! Mark gets to his feet, holding his ribs and Mac holds his hand up....
Simone: Is he challenging Mark to a test of strength???
Adams: And I think Mark is accepting!
Simone: He can't be serious! There is no way Mark can beat Mac Bane in a test of strength!
Mark, and after a bit of hesitation, locks hands with Bane, and it's on! Their upper chest's collide and neither gains an advantage as they push against each other! Mark grunts and strains, then looks into the eyes of his opponent and is surprised to see a smile on Bane's face ...!
Simone: Oh dear...
And a sudden surge of brute strength forces Mark right to his knees! The World Champion is in a real bad way, as the Internet Champion towers over him! Cross is helpless and tries to force his way to his feet but to no avail and is put right back down again! Jacob asks if he yields but Cross shakes his head "no." Instead, he finally manages to roll backwards, reversing the grip. He gets back to his feet and delivers a high kick to the side of Bane's head, breaking his grip!
Adams: Great reversal!
Simone: It took some thinking but Mark Cross got it done.
Mark climbs to his feet and goes for an Irish whip but Mac reverses it and catches him in a Tilt-A-Whirl slam and right into the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Cross kicks out!
Mac hauls him up off of his feet and drives him down with authority thanks to a full body slam! Mac rebounds off of the ropes and jumps, going for another elbow smash, but Mark rolls out of the way and Mac hits hard! Mark pulls him up and runs him hard to the far corner, slamming his head against the top turnbuckle. Mac stumbles out and Mark mounts the middle turnbuckle and jumps off, finally felling the Internet Champion with a flying lariat! Mark then drapes Mac's foot over the bottom rope, leaps up and crashes all his weight down on it, then does it again, and again!
Adams: He's going to blow out Mac's knee!
Simone: That could very well be his strategy! Mark wants to win and to do that, he has to neutralize Bane's size and strength!
Mark grabs the hobbled Bane up and sends him back into the corner where he follows in with stiff kicks to the stomach, then rears back and slaps an open handed chop across his huge chest!
Crowd: WHOOOOO!!!
Adams: I was waiting for that to happen ALL night!
Mark then Irish whips him out towards the opposing corner but Mac reverses, sending Cross up and over with an overhead suplex! Favoring his leg, a limping Mac Bane reaches down, grasping him by the throat and lifts him up and drives him down with a two-handed choke slam! Mac rolls over into the cover, hooking the inside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Cross gets a shoulder up!
Simone: Lord, Mark Cross is resilient!
Mac drags him up and fires him off into the ropes where he sends Cross into a tailspin with a big boot! Mac immediately with the cover AGAIN!
ONE!
TWO!
Mark kicks out AGAIN!
Adams: Now THAT'S why he's the World Champion!
Mac pounds the mat, clearly growing frustrated! He pulls Mark back up and goes for an Irish whip, but as he attempts a second big boot, Mark sees it coming and blocks the blow, somersaulting over and taking Bane down with him into an ankle lock scissors!
Adams: You can't keep a good champion down!
Simone: But that is Mark Cross's intention! That's the same leg he was working on before!
And the pain is evident on the face of the Internet Champion as he pounds the mat and struggles, his face a clear mask of pain as his knee and ankle are being worked over! Jacob asks if he wants to give it up but Bane bravely refuses! He then starts to use his forearms to drag himself closer toward the ropes and his size again comes into play as after what seems an eternity, he manages to reach the bottom strand, forcing the break! But Cross refuses!
Adams: Come on! Let him go!
Mark shakes his head as Jacob orders the break and the referee finally starts to count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And FINALLY Mark releases the hold and rolls away! Jacob admonishes him while Mac slowly uses the ropes to drag himself back up. And the moment he does, Mark rushes right in and kicks his bad leg back out from under him, sending him to his knee! Mark then grabs him in a front face lock and collapses, spiking his skull into the mat with a DDT! Mark rolls him over for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Mac kicks out!
Simone: And still there is life in the Internet Champion!
Mark DRAGS Mac up with two big handfuls of his long hair! Cross goes for an Irish whip but somehow Mac is able to counter with a reversal! But Mark comes flying off the ropes and right into a Slingblade, dropping Bane once again! Mark Cross with the cover, hooking both legs!
ONE!
TWO!
Bane powers out, THROWING mark off of him!
Adams: WHAT a kick out!!!
Simone: Look at Cross's face! He is in shock!
Mac is propped up on his elbow, sucking in oxygen but his eyes are burning straight into Mark's own wide, stunned ones! Mark backs up against the corner as Mac rises and Ban charges for a spear in the corner - but Mark dodges at the last moment and bane goes through the turnbuckles and his shoulder strikes the post!
Simone: That mistake could spell the end of the match!
Mac staggers back slowly, favoring his shoulder. He turns around and this time Mark shows his own strength by scooping the Internet Champion up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry and dumps him off --!!
Adams: GTS!
Mac stumbles back on his feet for a moment before falling over, out cold! Mark covers him!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Kick out!
Adams: How!? Just - how!?
Simone: That is exactly what Mark Cross wants to know!
Mark sits upright, running his hands down his shocked face! He turns and just stares at the downed mac who tries to recover. Mark gets up and drags the big man to a vertical base and he sends him into the ropes. Mac comes off and Cross attempts a roundhouse kick but Mac ducks under! He rebounds off the far side and SPEARS Cross from out of nowhere!
Adams: The Bar! He hit it!
Mac with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-NO! Jacob sees Mark's foot on the bottom rope!
Simone: Oh god that was lucky for Mark that Jacob saw that!!
Mac is PISSED! He drags Mark up to his feet and races off of the ropes and comes off with ANOTHER spear aka the Bar!
Simone: Cover him!
Adams: No, he's not finished!
Mac Irish whips Cross into the ropes and a THIRD spear aka The Bar! Mac covers him, hooking BOTH legs!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and Internet Champion - and NEWWWWW World Heavyweight Champion - MAC BANE!!!
Simone: He did it! It took THREE Bars spears but he did it! Mac Ban remains the Internet Champion...!
Adams: But he is also the brand new World Heavyweight Champion!
Jacob presents both the Internet and World Heavyweight Championship belts to Mac Bane who raises them up, his hardened face now betraying the elation of being the new champion! The crowd cheers for the hard fought match as Mark Cross slowly rolls from the ring and sinks to his knees, holding his ribs and stomach!
Simone: Mark Cross has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of! A two-time back to back Blast From the Past Champion and he fulfilled his goals when he won that very title! And hopefully we have not seen the last of the Dragon!
Adams: It would be a bitch for Mark 'the Dragon' Cross to leave after this epic match! But still; we have a brand new World Champion!
Simone: And it is Mac Bane!
Fireworks begin to go off above the Sun Princess in the night sky as Mac stands in the corner and raises the titles up high!
Simone: For Jason Adams, I am Belinda Simone! So long everybody!
Mac continues to celebrate in the ring as the screen fades and credits begin to roll!
THANK YOU! to Chris, Mark, The Lord MK, Marge, Todd, Gerrit, Annie, AJ, Jen, Andy, Ryan, JJ, Mark Cross, Jass, Mac Bane, Mercedes, Erik, Wong. Also again to Annie and to everyone who roleplayed.
