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 SCW Universe 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 X!
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 pink sundress with black hearts 'dotted' all over it! With a skip in her step, she pops open a frilly, pink umbrella and begins the performance.
Amanda: Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin'
And it sounds just like a song
I want more berries and that summer feelin'
It's so wonderful and warm
Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without

The summertime fans aboard the Sun Princess cheers for Amanda as she waves and smiles from upon the stage and then takes her leave, vanishing behind the curtains.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome to the stage, your host for Summer XXXTreme X -- former World Heavyweight Champion! GRIFFIN HAWKINS!!!
Fans are awaiting the show as the sounds of "Separate Ways" by Journey kicks in as the crowd immediately goes wild! Out comes none other than the host of the event, Griffin Hawkins!
Simone: And here's the host of this event, former SCW World Champion, former Roulette Champion, former Internet Champion, Griffin Hawkins!
Adams: One of the most decorated stars in SCW history is here to host this summer party! Who knows what will ensue!
He raises the mic in the air, soaking in the positive reaction. After the music ends, he speaks.
Griffin Hawkins: Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Summer XXXtreme!!!
The crowd goes insane.
Griffin Hawkins: For those who don't know me, I am your host for this momentous party, Griffin Hawkins! A world traveler who held gold all over the world...including here in Sin City! And now I am your host of tonight's festivities and what a card we got for you tonight! We got an Ultimate X over the pool match as the Roulette Champion Alexander Raven, defends against Finn Whalen, Miles Casey, and the Bulldog Bill Barnhart..I've been in this match before and trust me...you do NOT wanna fall off one of these. Will we see a changing of the guard as someone walks out the new champion? Or will Raven somehow retain the gold?
He continues walking.
Griffin Hawkins: We also have two women who have a longstanding rivalry that needs to be settled as Samantha Marlowe takes on Bea Barnhart. Now...I know the age old question goes...can't we all just get along? The answer is NO because let's face it cats and kitties, athletes like myself and these two women would be out of a job. The tension between these two are hotter than the summer heat..and tonight...the winner will have all the bragging rights. And then we have the other Ultimate X Match!
The crowd cheers, knowing what's to come.
Griffin Hawkins: The Bombshell Roulette Championship is on the line as Kat Jones takes on Kayla Richards, Melissa, and Mercedes Vargas! For the last while these four women have been staking their claim to the gold. Each one of them believes it will be them who leave the Sun Princess with the gold. All questions will be answered as that very title will be suspended high above the pool! In a match like this, it's anyone's ballgame...but I got a feeling we won't be disappointed with this match. May the best woman win! And then we got another interesting match..
he reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a blindfold.
Griffin Hawkins: I know what you're thinking and the answer is no...Despite my best efforts, Sin City Wrestling is not going to have a Birdbox Challenge, apparently Christian believes it's "unsafe"...but we're getting something BETTER than that...a Blindfold Match! Max Burke will take on Senior Vinnie...and both of them will have this over their eyes. They will see nothing but darkness. In this match..you won't have the advantage...and neither will your opponent. Why? Because you can't see one another. This match is unpredictable in more ways than one...and with one sight gone...they are going to have to trust the others. And then...we got ourselves a true classic...
He slicks his hair back as he continues.
Griffin Hawkins: A true clash...champion v.s champion...Bombshell World Champion Roxi Johnson is gonna take on the Bombshell Internet Champion Masque....winner take all! I've known Roxi for over a decade..I've traveled with her, I've trained with her, and I know that she's working hard to leave here with both titles. But let's not sleep on Masque...she did not win this belt by accident and the one thing that would make her stock rise is by leaving this boat with both belts on each shoulder. This will be one hell of a match...in speaking of.....hell...
A sly smile comes across his face.
Griffin Hawkins: Two women who have had a beef for so long are finally going to settle it once and for all. My fellow bandmate Diamond Steele is going to take on Alicia Lukas in a Hell In A Cell Match. I personally have experience in this very structure...and the truth is, you leave a piece of yourself when you fight in this barbaric cage. But these two hate one another that they are willing to put their bodies on the line just to see the other fall. I don't know who is going to be victorious...but I guarantee you..neither woman will be the same again after this. We also move on to another title match ladies and gentlemen....
He points to the ring.
Griffin Hawkins: In that ring....The Internet Title will be on the line as Jack Washington takes on Goth. Now many may think Washington is some arrogant punk kid with a chip on his shoulder, but you can't deny his success here in Sin City. A man who is no stranger to championship gold wants another one to add to his trophy case. But Goth..a man shrouded in darkness and mystery is someone who is willing to go beyond hell itself to leave with the gold. And then...we get one for all the marbles.
He walks closer to the ring.
Griffin Hawkins: The World Heavyweight Title will be on the line as Matthew Knox defends the gold against Mac Bane...but it's not just any match, it's a Taipei Death Match! I defended the EWC Television Title in this very match some years ago, and I felt the effects long afterwards. Are these two men ready to put their bodies through unimaginable brutal torture just for the right to be called the best in Sin City Wrestling today? It is definitely gut check time for both. Whoever wins will indeed be the rightful champion. All this and more tonight on Sin City Wrestling's Summer XXXtreme! And now, let's begin the first match of the night!
Bill is standing near the entrance area to be ready to make his entrance for his Ultimate X Over The Pool Roulette Championship match against Alexander Raven, Finn Whelan, and Miles Kasey. Bill is in his wrestling attire and the look on his face tells us he's ready to go for this match. The camera person focuses on Bill.
Bill: Welcome to another edition of me telling you the truth and you accepting it. I'll tell you one truth that doesn't involve my Roulette Championship match tonight but it will show you you how I'm discriminated against. I submitted an application to be a participant in the Male Best Ass in a Speedo competition on board our Cruise Ship but they turned me down. They said after what they saw a few weeks ago with me in a Speedo they declared that I would have an unfair advantage over the other participants. Instead of allowing me to participate in the Male Best Ass in a Speedo competition they sent me on my way and banned me from participating. They're all jealous that my ass in a Speedo is nicer than their ass in a Speedo could ever achieve!
Bill rolls his eyes.
Bill: I'm about to get into the Ultimate X Over The Pool Roulette Championship match which is the opening match of Summer XXXTreme X. I'm in this match to reclaim my Roulette Championship. I have no hesitation or doubts about this match. I'm confident I'm entering this match as one of the challengers and that I'll emerge as the newly crowned Roulette Champion. This match isn't difficult to participate in but it damn sure is a fun type of match. We get to climb around on the X set up over the pool and the way to win is simple. Knock your opponents off the X where they drop into the pool and they are eliminated from the match. Take a good look at my face because I'm winning this match and I'm being crowned the Roulette Champion again.
Bill waves into the camera and then the screen goes dark.
Justin: The opening match is the traditional Men's Ultimate X above the Pool Roulette title match!!!!
"Throne” by Bring Me The Horizon 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: Standing in at 6'1 and weighing in at 215 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Miles "Milo”Kasey!!!
The lights dim down and cast the arena in a red glow, and for a moment -- only a moment -- the crowd quiets down just a smidge. The drum riff opening that carries into an aggressive rhythm of guitar chords breaks out as "Black Lungs" by Architects blares out over the P.A. System. This brings the crowd to their feet -- both in a positive and negative reaction, completely mixed as the lyrics can be heard
The spotlight doesn't fall upon the stage, instead flowing across the crowd as the lyrics describe more than just a time in the world. Finn Whelan appears not from the curtain, but from one of the visitor entrances with a semi-cocky swagger written into his denim jeans. He stops at the top of the steps for a moment, a slight smirk on his face as he glances down at the people around him, blockaded off by the typical burly security guards. The crowd is not booing, but they're not exactly cheering either. He sets his eyes upon the ring below, and then makes his way down slowly, ignoring the people around him though a few of them clap him on the shoulders as he descends as once again lyrics are heard
At the barrier, he slings himself over and slides immediately underneath the bottom rope and leaps to his feet in the center of the ring. He heads directly for the ropes in front of him, and hops up onto the bottom one, bouncing slightly as he looks back at the crowd, choosing a few choice words to share with them. e drops down from it, and pulls of his vest as he heads to his place against the turnbuckle, leaning into it and looking upwards at the stage (or conversely, at his opponent) past his brow as his music fades out.
Justin: Standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 201 pounds!! Hailing from Seattle, Washington!! Finn Whelan!!!!
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 by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. 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 three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to Bea so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner
Justin: Accompanied by his wife Bea Barnhart, standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 240 pounds!! Hailing from Lawrenceville, Georgia!! Bill Barnhart!!!
As all the lights dim, blue and red lights begin to flicker on the stage, images of ravens flying appearing on the screen. 'Ladies and Gentleman' as these words fill the arena a loud bang of pyro is joined with blinding white lights. These flicker rapidly for a few moments, 'because the devil has my throat,' as these words of the song flow out, out steps Alexander Raven into the centre of the stage. He gazes across the crowd, pulling his cloak tightly around his shoulders, his eyes opened wide a slight smile tugging at his lips. The flashing off the lights stops. 'I am the powers that be!' in sync with these lines he throws his hands up, basking in the reaction of the crowd, beginning to slowly walk down the ramp. He strolls towards the ring leisurely, crossing his arms across his chest, head tilted back, soaking in the world around him. Slowly he begins to ascend the stairs to the left of the ramp, once in the ring, spinning his way to the centre of the ring, dropping to his knees. He hunches over and places his fists on the canvas. 'I am the alpha! and the omega!' as soon as these words come out, he lifts himself backwards slightly, the cloak slipping from his shoulders as he extends his arms to the sky, staring upwards, soaking everything in once again. Slowly he raises to his feet, pushing his cloak from the ring slowly with his foot.
Justin: Standing in at 6'2 and weighing in at 215 pounds!! Hailing from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia!! The Roulette champion!! Alexander Raven!!!
DING DING DING!
The match had begun as all four men are staring at the championship belt that is hanging in the middle of the Ultimate X structure above the swimming pool. Bill Barnhart looks at his opponents, noticing that they are still staring at the title as he smiles and runs to one of the corners of the Ultimate X device and sets himself to climb it in hope of not being noticed, only to have Milo charge in on him from behind and pulls him back to the ground.
Simone: Just the mere thought of hearing Bill ranting on how he outsmarted everyone if he actually made it like that!!
On the other side of the pool we see Alexander Raven and Finn Whelan trade blows, Finn reverses an Irish Whip as that sends Alexander towards a wall surrounding the swimming pool area. Alexander stagger backwards as Finn Whelan had managed to grab a lifebuoy and pulled it off the wall before whacking it across the face of the champion. This causes Alexander Raven to fall down on his backside as Milo places the lifebuoy around the arms and down to the point that Alexander Raven cannot defend himself.
Simone: That was a smart move from Finn Whelan
We see Bill Barnhart block an attempt of Milo to execute a Snap Suplex on him, reversing the move of one of his own before sitting up with a smile on his face. Clapping his hands while standing up and grabs the head of Milo, setting him up for a Body Slam before turning his attention towards Finn Whelan and Alexander Raven. Telling Finn to execute an Irish Whip on Raven and send the champion towards him. Finn looks at Bill Barnhart for a few moments, remembering the matches they had in the past before whipping the champion towards the former champion. Bill there drops Raven with a clothesline.
Adams: That is one of the things I always enjoy in multi man matches, the unlikely alliances and how long they will last.
Finn sees an opening as he notices Bill grabbing the head of the champion, setting him to pull him back to his feet as Finn charges in on Bulldog and hits a running knee to the side of his head. Causing the Bulldog to stagger close towards the swimming pool and leans against one of the large climbing areas of the structure that we know as the Ultimate X. Finn runs towards Bill, clotheslining him against the steel structure as that sends Bill down to the ground before Whelan uses him as a sort of a ladder, standing on him before putting his hands on the structure to start his climb.
Simone: Finnis the first to attempt to climb the structure!!!
But he is stopped by Milo, as he follows Finn by putting his feet on the shoulders of Bill Barnhart before wrapping his arms around the waist of Finn Whelan and executes a Back Suplex off the shoulders as that snaps Finn off the structure and hits the back of his head hard on the swimming pool floor.
Crowd: HOLY SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Finn is rolling around the floor while holding on to his head with both hands as he feels a lot of pain. Milo gets to his feet, he is holding his back as he had managed to avoid his head to hit the floor as well, but his back wasn't as lucky. Turning around as we see Alexander Raven had got back to his feet somehow. The buoy is still around his arms, causing Raven to charge in on him with a spear like move as that sends Milo crash into the wall behind him. Raven gets up, asking Jasmine to get the buoy off of his body as that finally happens. He turns around and sees Bill Barnhart got back to his feet and had started to pound with a closed fist across the forehead of Finn before looking up and sees the champion stare towards him as well. Bill lets go off Finn and demands that they will fight it out together as Raven nods his head in agreement. The two walk towards each other, before we see Bea yell towards Raven, causing him to be distracted as Bill charges towards the Ultimate X device and once again starts to climb it. Raven notices it in time, charges in after him and is a few steps behind Bill and grabs him by the boots. Only to have Bill to kick him off and starts to climb it even more.
Adams: I was wondering when someone would climb that damn thing, now we know that Bill is succeeding so far.
This causes Alexander Raven to go after him once more, while we see Milo and Finn both get to their feet as either man run towards a pole of the structure and start to climb the device themselves.
Simone: Now all four men are going for the title!!
Adams: And Bill Barnhart has got the advantage so far!!
Bill reaches the top first, he smiles before looking behind him and sees Raven only a few steps behind his boot. Bill then turns his attention back to the championship and decides to climb to the top, sitting on the top as he starts to crawl the device from the top of it. Alexander Raven is following him, only decides to use the bottom part of the structure that would get him underneath Bill.
Simone: I don't know whether Raven's decision to climb the other side is the smartest thing
Adams: Well he has the edge that he is closer to the title as that is hanging underneath the structure instead of Bill.
We see Finn and Milo reach the top also. They start to do the same as Raven, just not having their legs around the base of the structure but just using their hands. We see that Bill has gotten to the middle first, but realizes that now he has to wrap his arms around the structure to grab the title. He decides to move to the bottom end, slowly moving his body to be underneath he structure and is inches away from the title. Only to have him unable to wrap his legs around the structure as Raven had thrusted his feet away from it. This causes Bill to swing from left to right the structure, causing Bill's eyes to widen out of fear.
Simone: Uh oh...
We see Milo and Finn reach the middle of the structure also, both men use one hand to reach for the title while hanging on with the other. Bill manages to regain some composure as he swings his legs towards both Milo and Finn, kicking them on the arm that keeps them hanging on to the structure one at a time. Dropping Finn first as he cannot hold on to his weight in combination of the unbalanced situation. The same happens to Milo as Bill now believes he has the opportunity to win the match.
Justin: Both Miles Kasey and Finn Whelan have been eliminated by falling into the swimming pool!!
Bill is now focused upon the title, wrapping his legs around the structure as he reaches for the title, only to have Alexander Raven grab him by the arm and blasts his wrist across the steel structure several times. Bill uses his other hand to block Raven, only to have Raven grab the other hand as well and blasts it a few more times hard against the steel structure before letting go. The pain and the fact that his hands aren't holding on to something forces Bill's upper body to be above the swimming pool while his legs are still hanging on to the structure.
Adams: Bill is in a troublesome situation!!!
Raven climbs towards him and the title, he reaches past the title as he reaches towards Bill. Pulling on the tights of the wrestler before pulling hard as he rips the tights open and reveals...
Simone: NO!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!
Adams: THE SPEEDO OF DOOM!!!!
Due to the situation of what happened caused Bill to react, shaking his legs as that forces him to lose the grip he had on the structure and falls down into the swimming pool before Raven grabs the title as he has successfully defended his title
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match by eliminating the final opponent Bill Barnhart by tossing him into the water and STILL Roulette Champion !!! Alexander Raven!!!!
Raven raises the title high above his head while still hanging upside down on the structure as he celebrates his victory by successfully defending the title.
The camera pans about an excited crowd gathered on the main deck as the sun is setting over the calm vastness of the Pacific. Stage lights shine brightly overhead illuminating the stage for SCW's annual cruise ship combat extravaganza Summer XXXtreme. Hand drawn and lettered artboard signs are anxiously waved in front of the roaming lens, their owners clamoring for that fleeting few seconds of fame, being seen by fans watching on Pay per View and streaming services around the globe. The crowd, energized by the impending start of the show bounces and gyrates enthusiastically, clad in varying degrees of beach wear from simple board shorts and one-piece swimsuits with a sarong to exotic neon G-strings and dental floss bikinis. Having completed its panorama, the hefty standalone cinema camera settles on the announce team of Jason Adams and Belinda Simone. The duo, appropriately clad in Hawaiian print shirts, wide-brimmed straw hats and khaki shorts greet the viewers tuning in with a practiced smile.
Simone: Ladies and gentlemen we are ready to go with our tenth annual midsummer parade of punishment SummerXXXtreme!
Adams: And we have one hell of a card lined up for you including everybody's favorite sweetheart Chloe Benton getting set to lock horns with the veteran Jessie Salco, and one half of our gigantic double main event features the Internet champion, the enigmatic Masque set to put her undefeated singles streak as well as her recently won championship on the line against the Bombshell champion Roxi Johnson in a title vs title match!
Simone: And if that isn't enough, we also have the grudge match of the year as The Raven Matthew Knox gets set to tackle Mac Bane in a first of its kind Teipei death match! And Jason, you can bet the rent that Mac will be out for his pound of flesh from Knox after his shocking betrayal of his wife Amber Ryan which left her hospitalized and still out of action!
Adams: I don't even know what a Teipei death match is, but I am sure looking forward to finding out. When I saw this match listed on the card I...
He is cut off mid-sentence by a yet to be identified voice whispering unintelligibly into the public address system. A pause leaves fans looking about confused and curious until it speaks up and a somber, repentant tone.
Voice: Mr. and Ms. P-P-Passengers of the USS Summer-x-x-xtreme...
Simone: That's Chloe Benton!
Adams: What is she doing on the PA system?
Chloe: I-I'm sorry. I-I d-d-didn't mean t-to be late for d-departure. I-I-I was l-looking at the s-stars on the walk-k of fame a-and I l-lost track of t-time...
Simone: Understandable.
Chloe: A-And I had t-t-to find another b-boat to t-take me a-and catch up with th-this one. B-But on the w-way here I did something-g I w-wasn't supposed-d-d-d to do... I g-got drunk. I-I remember th-the first time I got drunk, m-my stepmother found out a-and she got really m-mad and hit me. I don't like m-making people mad at me, it m-makes me sad. B-But now Mr. C-C-Christian is g-going to be mad at m-me...
Another break in the dialog leaves the crowd with their heads craned towards the overhead speakers hanging from the balcony of the upper decks dropping her voice down to them, along with a soft hint of rain in the form of a choked sob.
Chloe: B-But he h-hates me and is always m-m-mad at me a-and I don't want him to b-be mad. I tried, I-I really did! B-But for him t-trying isn't g-good enough. I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean it!
Her voice once more treks off the trail leaving muddied prints of melancholy in its wake as she now sobs openly. The fans react accordingly, by spontaneously erupting into a ship shaking unified chant in support.
Crowd: Don't be mad! Don't be mad! Don't be mad!
Chloe: I-I really did try M-Mr. Christian, honest! I just...
A loud squawk emanates from overhead, piercing through the chanting assemblage, an ominous indicator that her time on the PA system has come to an end. Undeterred however, the fans resume their chorus in a louder, more determined intonation, effectively drowning out the announcers as well as the captain who speaks in a dull, monotone inflection begging to be over ridden,
Crowd: Don't be mad! Don't be mad! Don't be mad!
The scene opens on the portside of the Summer XXXTreme X Cruise Liner where we see two Go Gym Graduates, Ariana Angelos and Krystal Wolfe, admiring the view ahead of their tag team match against the Metal Maniacs! Ms. Rocky Mountains clears her throat catching the attention of the two young women and they turn around ready for an interview.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal, Ari, later on you two are teaming up against The Metal Maniacs in tag team action, they haven't been heard from since their first promo against them, what are your thoughts on this?
Krystal: Ari, what did you say when Kaiju Rainbow and Char Kwan did the same thing against you? In English I mean!
Ariana: Actions speak louder than words but those actions are meaningless without words to back them up?
Krystal: Exactly, hell has anyone even seen The Metal Maniacs since we boarded the ship last Sunday? You'd think a pair like them would stick out like a sore thumb on a cruise liner!
Ariana: Not to mention Anthrax!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I haven't seen either and you're right, they'd definitely stick out! But what are you're plans for dealing with them!
Ariana: Simple, the Metal Maniacs are hardcore wrestlers, this is a standard rules match, don't think I need to point out the disadvantage they find themselves in a result!
Krystal: Ari's one of the best female high flyers in the world today, I've more than proven myself as a capable power/submission wrestler, The Metal Maniacs are facing an uphill battle before this match even begins! Anything else before we wrap up, I've got something special planned!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: No! go ahead!
Krystal: Great! Metal Maniacs, me and Ari are both fans of metal ourselves but we'd hardly consider ourselves maniacs! And as I turn the page on this chapter of my SCW career I'll bring Twisted Sister crashing down to earth with the Down Under Thunderbomb!
Ariana: Whilst Iron Maiden will bear witness to the grace of the Angel's Descent as Team Go goes the distance!
Team Go walk off as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...
A short but punchy electric guitar rift hits the speakers before the pounding of drums slams through the PA system. Stealing the fans attention, driving their eyes towards the stage. The familiar notes of "Paranoia” by A Day to Remember continues to barrel through the speakers at a deafening level, meanwhile the lighting that looms over the ramp way starts to flicker ghostly whites in time with the music. Stepping out from behind the curtains, Levana Cade makes her way towards the middle of the stage before she comes to a stop. She looks out towards the fans, as the cameras pan in on her blue eyes, her glare is as cold as ice as she surveys the crowd. Reaching up she flicks the collar of her oversized leather jacket before she makes her way towards the ring.
Justin: Making her way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada... Levana Caaaaaaddeee.
Levana makes it to the ring, disregarding the fans' outstretched hands along the way. Approaching the steps slowly... painfully... slowly she walks up them before both her feet hit the ring apron. Walking around two sides of the six-sided ring, Levana takes her time before stepping over the middle rope. Once inside the ring Levana removes her leather jacket before carefully handing it to Justin. Rocking the back of her shoulders against the ropes, Levana waits for the match to begin, her eyes never leaving her opponent. As the lights and speaker system return to normal.
Justin: and her opponent...
The throbbing beat of Adam Lambert's For your entertainment fills the venue. A body can be seen in shadow as the fans turn towards the entrance. A strobing light flashes behind the body that turns slowly as a spotlight slowly lights up the ramp area and kills the strob to reveal a brunette in a black leather jacket over black tights and staring down into the ring, a slow smirk beginning to cross her lips. Heading to the ring, she stops at the ringstairs and then moves slowly up to the apron and into the ring where she moves towards a corner and leans back against the turnbuckles with one foot on the bottom rope.
Justin: From South London, she is Georgie Robertson.
The smirk returns as she looks at the camera and snaps off a contemptuous salute before pulling off the jacket to reveal a dark halter with silver buckles on it. She turns and once more leans into the corner to await the bell.
The ref moves in and checks both ladies for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Cade and Robertson circle the ring briefly, as Robertson dashes in and tries for a boot and to catch Cade off guard, but Cade dodges it and as Robertson turns Cade catches Robertson with an arm drag as they both make their way to their feet and Cade hits another arm drag on Robertson before making their way to their feet and Cade tries for an arm drag for the third time but Robertson dodges and Cade lands on the match as Robertson points and laughs at Cade.
Simone: Robertson tries for an early attack, but Cade is ready and she responds with an arm drag as they both get back to their feet and Cade his another one but the third one never materialises and Robertson avoids it and Cade hits the mat and Robertson has a laugh at Cade response.
Cade sits up as Robertson approaches and goes to grab Cade, but Cade grabs her and rolls her up into a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Adams: Cade grabs Robertson and rolls her up for a surprise package but Robertson kicks out.
Robertson kick out as she and Cade climb back to their feet and approach each other but Robertson surprises Cade with an enziguri, which she catches Cade and she stumbles away into the corner, as Robertson gets back to her feet as she turns and rushes towards Cade, but Cade dodges and Robertson hits the corner and not Cade. Cade take a second to and charges in, but Robertson grabs her and throws her face first into the top turnbuckle.
Simone: Robertson with an enziguri on Cade, as Cade stumbles back into the corner, before rushing Cade but Cade sees her coming and dodges it and Robertson ends up in the corner, Cade looks to rush Robertson, but Robertson grabs her and hits a STO into the top turnbuckle.
Cade drops to her knees and Robertson approaches and grabs Cade's arms and pulls them backwards before sticking a boot into her back – stretching her joints as she sends her slowly down to the mat before removing the boot and drags her up, where she then puts her boot into Cade's back and this time drives Cade face first into the mat.
Adams: Robertson does a little stretch on Cade before planting her face hard onto the mat.
Cade holds her face as Robertson grabs a foot and drags Cade away from the corner and goes for a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Cade kicks out, as Robertson quickly climbs to her feet as Cade gets to her hands and knees but Robertson kicks Cade into the side and Cade rolls to the edge of the ring and Robertson moves forward and finishes the job and kicks Cade from the ring. Cade slowly moves to her feet as Robertson watches her carefully and as Cade moves around the ring, Robertson turns and bounces off the ropes and runs towards Cade before dropping down and hitting a baseball slide on the recovering Cade, who goes down to the mat again.

DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Georgie Robertson.
Robertson's music hits over the p.a as she makes her way to her feet and the ref raises her arm in victory.
The lively crowd draws silent as the digital curtains leading backstage are lifted, revealing Christian Underwood, the co-owner and head booker of SCW, alongside his erstwhile spouse of many years Scott Schreiner, who calmly sips on a can of Corona. Speaking in an off corner, away from the drones attending the needs of the hive to the ever errant and ever popular Chloe Benton. His tanned arms are outstretched from a blue, floral pattern summer shirt patting the nervous looking girl on the shoulder, rubbing it in a soothing motion hoping to assuage her fears.
Christian: Chloe, for the last fucking time I'm not mad God dammit!
Chloe: Th-Then why are you y-yelling and c-c-cursing?
She cries, the salty pangs of regret streaming down her cherubic face. Taking a deep breath he sighs, lowering his eyes to match her own glassy orbs and resumes in a more tactful, tranquilized tone.
Christian: Seriously, I was impressed that you took the initiative to get here on your own and as for you being drunk...
He chuckles.
Christian: You should spend some time at my house. Seriously Chloe I'm not...
His words are sawed off by the chalkboard screech of Fox Riley, flanked by one of Christian's closest and oldest friends, Goldenboy Gene Banton.
Fox: Heyyy Chrissy baby, did we miss anything?
Christian: Fox, shut up, I'm busy.
Fox: Nobody tells me to...
Scotty: Fox, shut up.
Fox: Not even you, you...
Geno: Fox shut up.
Spinning on her heel Chloe instantly recognizes the shirtless blond man with glimmering blue eyes, bronzed tan and a granite physique painstakingly carved over countless hours in the gym. With barely a whimper she unexpectedly leaps into the man's vascular arms, wrapping her own around his neck squeezing until his baby blues pop in surprise. He chuckles and asks,
Geno: What's this for?
Chloe: I-I said I owed you a b-b-big hug for p-paying for my gigantically awesome c-c-cabin.
Geno: You're welcome sweety.
Looking on Christian arcs an eyebrow and remarks,
Christian: Oh really, that was you Geno?
Geno: Bet your ass it was me.
Chloe: M-Mr. G-Geno, c-c-can I ask how m-m-much it c-c-cost? I-I would ap-preciate t-the chance to rp-pay you.
Geno: Well, I err...
Christian: Go ahead Mr. Geno,
He challenges, planting his hands on his hips eyeballing him defiantly.
Christian: Tell her all about it.
The other man can barely contain the grin sliding across his chiseled face and buries it in tufts of Chloe's silken red mane to obscure it.
Geno: Sure I'll be happy to. I paid... umm... I paid... err... it cost... hmm...
Christian juts a stern finger into the man's face, shouting,
Christian: That's right, you musclebound mongoloid, you don't have a clue because it wasn't you who paid for that cabin, it was me! And I have a twenty-pound receipt to show for it!
Geno sets Chloe back down to reveal and ear to ear grin etched into the façade by a successful prank. Reaching out he high fives Scotty, their hands slapping loudly with him crying triumphantly,
Geno: Got him!
Clapping his goateed pal on a beefy shoulder he leads him away,
Geno: Beers on me!
The pair, accompanied by Fox quickly disappear into the stimulated bowels of the ship leaving Christian alone to deal with the aftermath. Chloe's eyes widen and the girl promptly leaps into her bosses' arms, wrapping them around his neck and squeezing tightly, her sob choked voice box sputtering in appreciation,
Chloe: Th-Thank you M-Mr. Christian! Thank-k you, thank you, thank you!
With a groan of temporary capitulation he sighs, holding the deliriously driveling damsel in his arms watch him disappear into the girded depths, most likely gloating. Rolling his eyes he mutters under his breath,
Christian: This isn't over by a long shot Mongo.
Chloe: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
We cut to the ship's café where we see veteran Bombshell Jessie Salco hanging about ahead of her match against Chloe Benton.
Pussy: Jessie?
Jessie looks up and sees Pussy Willow.
Jessie: Can't even relax without being hounded by you guys, you're here about my match against Chloe, right?
Pussy: That and to congratulate you on the tenth anniversary of your Supercard debut!
Jessie shakes her head.
Jessie: Thanks, but if we want to get pedantic? My actual debut wasn't until the twelfth of August 2012, which is just under a month away! Anyway, you want my thoughts on Chloe?
Pussy nods and Jessie continues.
Jessie: It's like I said on Twitter, Chloe's a sweet girl who got in way over her head when she originally signed with SCW last November and even with Whisper's tutorage, it's going to take a lot more time before Chloe's at any decent level!
Pussy: Chloe has been improving over past few months though!
Jessie: I'm not denying that! Anyone who has a working set of eyes can see that for a fact! But even after all this time Chloe still hasn't nailed down a finisher and she doesn't even have entrance music! It's like I said during my first promo, Chloe has a lot to learn!
Pussy: One last thing, you've been dealing with another rookie of late, Melissa, and she's competing for the Bombshell Roulette Title tonight, what are your thoughts if Melissa wins the title?
Jessie: That's a big if, let's be honest! Kat Jones has been unstoppable since she won the title at Into the Void XI, Kayla Richards has been on a roll herself and putting Ms. Jon on the shelf has clearly lit a fire under Mercedes which hasn't seem to go out at all! But if she does win, I'll be happy for her!
Pussy: Really? That's not what I was expecting!
Jessie: Hey I didn't win my first match on a Supercard for the company ten years ago when I was competing for the Bombshell Tag Team Championships but I have hoped that a newcomer would win their first title at their first Supercard with the company! Who knows? Maybe Melissa can pull it off.
Jessie adds before she goes to walk off.
Jessie: But we both know that winning a title and defending it are two completely different things!
Jessie walks off without another word as the scene fades.
Justin moves into the ring and brings the microphone to his lips.
Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...
Standing in the ring, Chloe Benton looks over the crowd with a smile as she waves to the fans before moving to her corner where she begins stretching for her match.
Justin: From Las Vegas, Chloe Benton!
Chloe then once more waves to the fans as she is introduced.
Adams: Chloe is already in the ring and she looks like she is prepared for this match.
Simone: Well she better be because she is facing a veteran in SCW and this woman is...
Adams: About to be introduced Belinda.
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 poses 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..
Simone: Jessie Salco is one woman that Chloe should worry about. She has a strong ring presence and history in SCW.
Adams: And from the look of it, Jessie is ready tonight too.
DING DING DING!
Chloe moves out of the corner as Jessie smirks before stepping forward to join her in the middle of the ring. Chloe holds out her hand which only gains her a glare from Jessie who starts to pace in a circle around Chloe. The two women circle each other before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up that Jessie, using her height and leverage pushes Chloe back into the corner. Summers follows them in and warns Jessie to let go of Chloe and let her out of the corner. Jessie smirks at Jacob but moves back with her arms up. She turns to look at the fans as Chloe climbs to the middle turnbuckle then leaps off to catch Jessie with a dropkick to the back that sends her to the mat. Jessie looks over at Chloe who has sprung to her feet. Jessie starts to rise as Chloe rushes the ropes then leaping on the bottom rope, she hits a springboard leg drop that takes Jessie to the mat again. Chloe rolls away as Jessie grabs at her head. Rising slowly to her feet, Chloe looks at Jessie to see if she is getting to her feet before rushing towards her and trying to roll her over. She pins her for only a one count before Jessie easily kicks out.
Adams: Chloe going for the quick pin Belinda. I don't think she did anything but make Salco mad.
Chloe gets to her feet quickly as Jessie rises and then stalks towards the young woman. Chloe backs away but this time Jessie follows her before slamming a knife edged chop into the chest of Chloe who doubles over with the pain. Jessie pulls her back up and delivers another chop that drives Benton into the corner where Jessie starts to use right and left strikes which force Chloe to the mat fighting for breath. Jessie moves back slightly then charges in with a running knee to the head of Chloe who sags to the mat. Jessie backs away once more as Summers checks on Benton who is lying on the bottom rope catching her breath. Jessie moves towards her once more but Summers motions her back as Chloe uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet. Chloe moves towards Jessie Salco who is motioning her forward. Chloe attempts a clothesline that Jessie ducks under. Catching her from behind, Jessie locks in an armbar that forces Chloe to one knee. Pulling Benton back to her feet, Jessie turns the armbar into a hammerlock as Chloe rises on her toes and reaches out for the ropes. Jessie tries to keep her in the middle of the ring but luckily, Chloe manages to make it to the ropes to force the break. Jessie holds the hammerlock in and Jacob is forced to make a five count but Jessie Salco releases the hold at four. Letting Chloe go, Jessie moves back with her arms in the air, taunting the fans. Chloe looks at Jessie Salco with fear and surprise in her eyes as she walks along the ropes, shaking her arm to get feeling back into it.
Simone: Jessie is proving to Chloe that she needs to be ready for anything..
Jessie stalks towards Chloe who ducks under a grab from Jessie Salco then rushes to the other ropes and springboards off with a forearm to the head of an advancing Jessie who staggers away and shakes her head to fight off the affect of the forearm. Chloe watches her for a moment wondering what she should do as Jessie turns to look at her then charges towards her. Chloe ducks under another strike attempt however, Jessie quickly turns and catches Benton in the head with a spinning heel kick that sends the young woman through the ropes and to the floor. Jessie moves to leave the ring but Jacob Summers stops her and motions her to go back as he turns to begin a ten count. On the outside, Chloe is using the ring apron to pull herself to a vertical base. Jessie Salco moves to the other side of the ring and drops to the mat and rolls to the outside. Benton sees that and quickly rushes towards the ringsteps that are between her and Jessie. Using them as a launching pad, Chloe jumps at Jessie but is caught in mid air then slammed to the floor that has her screaming in pain. Jacob is at seven in his count as Chloe manages to roll under the bottom rope to break the count and then Jessie rolls under the rope herself only to have Chloe jump on the bottom rope and drop on the back of Jessie who flops to the mat.
Adams: Chloe hits Salco with a leg drop on her back that sends her to the mat.
Simone: That is all well and good but she has to pin her shoulders to the mat for the win Jason.
Chloe quickly rolls her over and attempts a pin but Jessie is close enough to the ropes, so she puts her foot on the bottom rope to break the pin as well as keeping a hold on Benton as she gets to her feet. Chloe attempts to clothesline Jessie who ducks then locks her into an abdominal stretch. Chloe cries out in pain as Summers checks on her. Jessie reaches back and pulls on the top rope adding more pain to the shoulder and side of Benton. Jacob looks up but Jessie had let go of the top rope and placed her hand on the hip of Chloe. Jacob moves back to check on Benton who is screaming in pain. With Summers checking on Chloe, Jessie again reaches for the ropes and pulls back. She is doesn't see Jacob rising and seeing her hand on the rope. He warns her to let the hold go then begins to count. After the four, Jessie drops the hold and then grabs the arm of Chloe and whips her across the ring. Benton rebounds off the ropes only to be caught by Jessie Salco with a kick to the midsection. Chloe drops to the mat clutching her stomach as Jessie catches her head and pulls her into a sleeper hold but the pair are close to the ropes and as Chloe is flopped on the mat, her leg is under the ropes and Summers doesn't make the count. Jessie looks at him in surprise then sits back on her heels.
Simone: I think that Jessie thought she had this match won with that sleeper but Chloe was close to the ropes and that is what saved her.
Jessie gets to her feet and pulls Chloe up to her feet. Whipping Benton across the ring, Jessie catches her in the middle of the ring and slams her down. Arching in pain, Chloe rolls to the ropes and the outside. She lays on the floor in pain as Jessie lunges towards the ropes only to be pulled away by Jacob who warns her that she has to give Chloe a ten count. Jessie backs away and Jacob starts his count again. Chloe begins to rise and staggers in front of the announce table while Summers is counting. Salco moves to charge the opposite ropes to rebound off them for added momentum as she launches herself with a suicide dive to the outside where she sends Chloe into the announce table headfirst. Benton's skull hits the hard table then she is knocked backwards where she hits her head on the concrete as Summers rolls out of the ring. Jessie is slowly getting to her feet as well as Jacob checks on Chloe before pointing to the timekeeper then motioning backstage.
Simone: Chloe looks to be down Jason.
Adams: Chloe isn't moving. Summers is motioning for the bell and medical it looks like.
Summers gets to his feet and motions for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Chloe Benton can not continue therefore, the winner of the match, Jessie Salco!
Adams: What a way for the match to end with poor Chloe knocked loopy and unable to continue.
Simone: This is scary Jason. Her head hit the deck hard. Hopefully we will have more on her condition later.
Adams: I guess we will see won't we Belinda!
Jessie continues to bask in her victory as medical wheels Chloe away on a stretcher.
We cut to one of the lower decks of the Summer XXXTreme Cruise Ship where we see Cassie Wolfe, the youngest cousin to Krystal will be celebrating her nineteenth birthday tomorrow and her presence on the cruise ship was one big birthday present from her older cousin, though right now she is playing on her Nintendo Switch!
Cassie: OH, COME ON! How hard is it to get two Bouffalant to fight each other?!
Cassie grunts in annoyance before pocketing her Nintendo Switch after pausing her game of New Pokémon Snap, before the teenager can do anything else Krystal's wife Makayla runs up to her.
Makayla: Cassie, there you are! Krystal's been looking everywhere for you!
Cassie: Why? Is something wrong?
Makayla: Just come with me!
Makayla instructs Cassie and she nods before following the Greek-Australian woman down the hallway off the ship, they find themselves outside the ship's nightclub where the bouncers let them in to be greeted by:
Everyone in the Nightclub: Surprise! Happy pre-birthday Cassie!
Indeed, it was a surprise birthday party for the young wrestling trainee and she grins broadly before Krystal walks up to her cousin with a birthday cake in hand, the cake itself is chocolate and has a custom candle with the number nineteen on it.
Krystal: We quickly realized that we wouldn't have time for this tomorrow so we decided to hold the party here!
Cassie: You realize how worried Makayla had me, right?
Makayla: Sorry, I had to think on my feet!
Cassie grins before blowing out the candle on the cake, at which point Kat Jones walks up to her holding out her present for the teenager, a black leather jacket.
Kat: Hope you have a great birthday tomorrow Cass.
Cassie grins before taking her present from Kat.
Cassie: Will do! Does this mean I can have alcohol yet?
Krystal: Don't push your luck.
Makayla: You have another two years to go before that!
Cassie grinds in response before diving into her birthday cake as the scene fades.
Justin: The following contest is a Bombshell Tag Team match!
The opening to "Stand My Ground" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the lights dim, once the music kicks into high gear strobe lights flash around the entrance ramp before a single spotlight stops on Krystal as she kneels on one knee with her head down and hood up.
Justin: Introducing first, hailing from Adelaide, Australia she is "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!
Once the lyrics hit Krystal removes her hood and looks out to the crowd before standing up and making her way down to the ring, she hops onto the apron before jumping over the ropes and into the ring where she removes the jacket and waits for her partner.
Justin: And her tag team partner...!
The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd.
Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!
Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and she spots familiar faces at ringside and smiles, hurrying over to them!
Adams: Well look who it is!
Standing at ringside is none other than Ariana's best friend and SCU's Underground Champion, Helluva Bottom Carter and his mother and grandmother at his side. Ariana gives both of them a quick hug before she spits to face the ring. Ariana climbs up and is about to step through the ropes, when a hand shoots up from under the ring apron and grabs her by the ankle!
Simone: What the...!?
And a surprised Ariana is yanked down to the floor, surprising both her as well as Krystal! Ariana shrieks in surprise as she is taken to the floor and DRAGGED beneath the ring!
Adams: What is going on!?
Krystal quickly jumps out of the ring to help when another figure hops the barricade...!
Adams: It's Twisted Sister!
Krystal turns around just in time for Twisted Sister to tackle her with a sear and drive her right against the steel ring steps with a loud and reverberating crash!
Simone: The Metal Maniacs! They were laying in wait this whole time!
Dawn Barnes tries to intervene and separate Twisted from Krystal as the Maniac chokes her on the floor with both hands but the shriek from the crazed madwoman sends Dawn falling back and onto her backside! Knowing full well it is fruitless, the official opts instead to start the match officially and get this thing over with as quickly as possible!
DING DING DING!
Once the bell sounds, Iron Maiden slips out from beneath the ring with a mad smile and she rushes over to lend her partner a hand against Krystal!
Simone: That explains who attacked Ariana and dragged her beneath the ring!
Adams: Yeah but... where's Ariana!?
Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden each grab an arm and the hair of Krystal Wolfe and drag her up to her feet and whip her backwards against the barricade, Wolfe's back slamming against the hard steel! Krystal staggers forward with her back arched, and Siister clotheslines her to the hard floor and the two Maniacs begin stomping the daylights out of the outgunned former Roulette Champion!
Simone: Krystal can't defend herself in a two on one attack by these two! This is insane!
Adams: Literally!
Dawn is has begun her count against the Maniacs as well as Team Go on the otside...
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
When even the Maniacs are wise enough to keep from being disqualifed as they drag the dazed and hurt Krystal up -- Sister by the legs and Maiden by the upper body. The shrieking women then start swinging the former champion back and forth until they let go and dump her into the ring, throwing her beneath the bottom rope and back inside! Iron Maiden climbs up onto the ring apron in her assigned corner and grabs the tag rope, laughing as Twisted Sister slithers into the ring like a reptile to continue the damage being inflicted! Ever the fighter, Krystal forces her way to her hands and knees as Sister runs off of the ropes and she jumps onto her with a spiked Hurricanrana, driving her head straight down!
Simone: You just never know what to expect from these two crazy women!
Adams: And I don't think anyone expected Twisted Sister to pull off a move like that!
Least of all Krystal as she rolls onto her back and is in prime position for a pinfall attempt as Twsted Sister makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Krystal kicks out!
Twisted Sister immediately straddles Krystal's upper body and she begins raining blows down with both left and right fists like some morbid windmill!
Simone: But the question remains! WHERE is Ariana!? Krystal needs help!
The ring apron begins thrashing and moving...!
Adams: Look! THERE she is!
And indeed Ariana rolls out from beneath the ring, but she has been severely compromised as her wrists and ankles are lashed together with a zip tie and a dirty rag stuffed into her mouth as a gag!
Simone: I hate to think where that rag was! But the Maniacs have done the smart thing and neutralaized Ariana Angelos!
But suddenly Krystal fights back! She blocks the blows from twisted Sister and throws her over and she ends up on top of the crazy woman and she begins throwing punches, returning the favor and showing she can throw down as well! That is until Iron Maiden is suddenly in the ring and she drags Krystal off of her partner around the throat from behind! But Krystal drives an elbow back into her face, knocking her off and she begins throwing forearms into Iron Maiden's head, knocking her back against the ropes until Sister charges in from behind and wraps her arms underneath those of Krystal as she drags her away from Iron Maiden
Adams: I don't like this one!!!
We see Dawn starting to use the five count that Iron Maiden has to get out of the ring or else get disqualified. Maiden runs the ropes, charges in on both Krystal and Twisted with a running spear as Krystal manages to jump her upwards, causing Maiden to spear her tag team partner out of the ring as Krystal lands awkwardly on her back but still gets up.
Simone: This is the moment for Krystal to free Ariana!!!
Krystal charges in on Maiden, who is looking with a shocked look at her partner. Grabbing her from behind, whipping her into the steel ring post before she slides out of the ring as Krystal looks around. Finally sees her tag team partner and slides out of the ring, freeing her from being tied up and drags the rag out of her mouth as she says something to Krystal, who nods her head as the camera pans out and we see Sister walk up from behind them.
Adams: Behind you!!
Krystal grins as she grabs the legs of Ariana as she falls backwards for a Catapult, sending Ariana into Sister as she delivers a flying clothesline out of the Catapult move that Krystal used with her tag team partner. The move causes Sister to drop backwards, hitting her head hard on the floor as Ariana jumps up to her feet and screams out to the fans who respond to them. Ariana and Krystal turn their attention to Sister, who is trying to get to her feet as Dawn is using the ten count on them.
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Krystal and Ariana now grab the arms of Sister and rolls her back into the ring. Krystal slides in the ring as Ariana get in the corner before being tagged in immediately
Simone: Now the tables seem to be change!!
Ariana jumps off the turnbuckles with a crossbody block, attempting to drop Sister. But the mad woman just catches her in her arms. Preparing her to be dropped with a big time slam, only to have Krystal Wolfe to hit a dropkick on the back of Ariana as that sends Sister on the canvas with Ariana on top of her.
ONE!
TWO!
THR....
Sister gets her shoulder off as we see Iron Maiden slowly get back on the ring apron while still holding on to her shoulder. She is screaming at Sister as that infuriates Ariana as she executes a spinning kick to the midsection of Iron Maiden before running to the ropes and tags her tag team partner. Now both ladies charge in on the still bend down Maiden and executes a double super kick to the face of Maiden. The two turn around as they notice Sister getting to her feet. Still believing that Ariana is the legal wrestler, grabbing her from behind and sets her up for a German overhead release suplex. Dropping Ariana down hard on the back of her head. She sits up and smiles. Only to have Krystal Wolfe charge in on her and executes a running knee to the face of Sister. Dropping her hard on the canvas with the back of her head before going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...
Adams: No!! How did she kick out??!!!
Krystal Wolfe is also wondering this, looking up at Dawn with a puzzled stare, only to have Dawn show her that it was merely a count of two. Krystal slams her hands on the canvas, sees Ariana back on the apron with an extended hand. She tags back in her partner, who climbs the turnbuckles preparing for a splash off the turnbuckles. We see Anthrax run to the ring, wanting to climb the apron to interfere, only to have Carter jump over the barricades to wrap his arms around Anthrax and executes a Back Suplex that sends the crowd jumping out of their minds. The camera's turn back to Ariana, who jumps towards Sister and hits a big time Splash before hooking her legs
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winners of this match by pinfall!! Ariana Angelos and Krystal Wolfe!! Team Go!!!!!
Ariana's music hits as Krystal runs over towards her and raises her other arm as Dawn does the same as they celebrate the victory.
Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii” Shirasu is seen with his friends, Andrew Garcia and Ivan Darrell. Hitamashii is here to discuss the match with "Godly”Ken Davison.
Hitamashii: I do not care what you think about why I left SCU to redoing SCW. I had my reasons, and now I get the chance to kick the asses of people like you. I will show you that you are nothing but a joke and I will expose you for the pile of crap you are!I am going to make you feel pain in ways you never thought possible. There is nothing you can do or say that I haven't seen before.
Hitamashii turns as he, with his friends in tow, decide to go into the locker room while cackling as the scene fades to black.
Simone: It's time for our next match and it's probably going to be the first and last of its kind! Crystal and Seleana Zdunich have been married for a few years now but their marriage hasn't always been a happy one! Now they seek to reconcile their differences in a Domestic Disturbance Match!
Adams: I'd argue against that point but how many married couples in wrestling have both halves as competing wrestlers for the same company? Crystal and Seleana have proven that they can work together such as when they teamed up against Ms. Jon and Mercedes Vargas a couple of months ago so who knows? Maybe this particularly violent form of marriage counselling will be surprisingly effective?
Simone: Stranger things have happened! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Domestic Disturbance Match!
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.
Justin: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, she is "The Burning Rose” Crystal ZDUNICH!
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, 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.
Simone: Crystal has not had an easy cycle, including a rematch against Masque for the Bombshell Internet Title!
Adams: The fact that Masque is in the main event against Roxi and not Crystal should tell you how that ended but you can't deny her talent!
Justin: And her opponent!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Justin: From Halmstad, Sweden she is "The Cat” Seleana Zdunich!
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.
Simone: Seleana hasn't had an easy cycle either, serving as the first challenger for Kat Jones' Roulette Title and suffering a loss to Mercedes Vargas a few weeks after that!
Adams: She has more than proven herself to be one of the best in the Bombshell division but she faces a tough match tonight!
Jasmine goes through the usual routine of calling the two women to the middle of the ring to go over the rules with them but Seleana is clearly uncomfortable for having to wrestle her wife, however that goes out the window when Crystal nails Seleana with a brutal forearm shot to the jaw prompting Jasmine to call for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: WHOA! What's gotten into Crystal all of a sudden?!
Adams: You're surprised? This is the same woman who once attacked Seleana to get a World Bombshell Championship shot! As for how THAT turned out, ask Mercedes Vargas because we'd be here all day otherwise!
The forearm shot rocks Seleana as it sends the Swedish Bombshell against the ring ropes facing the entrance ramp and Jasmine tries to get between the estranged couple to give Seleana time to recover from the cheap shot, however the forearm shot seems to have awoken something inside Seleana as she charges at her wife and spears her to the ground before reigning down punches! Crystal soon returns the favour and the two women roll around on the match throwing punches!
Simone: Usually I'd have to watch reruns of The Jerry Springer Show to get this kind of action between a married couple!
Adams: So, who do you think is the top between Seleana and Crystal?
Belinda refuses to answer Jason's question as the action continues, the brawl between Seleana and Crystal ends up at the ring ropes facing the announcer's table and Crystal manages to break up the brawl in an unconventional way by using her legs to send Seleana to the outside in between the middle and bottom ropes! Seleana lands hard on her arm and uses the announcers table to pull herself up and Crystal gets a running start looking for a suicide dive!
THE DIVE CONNECTS SENDING BOTH WOMEN THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER'S TABLE!
Simone: HEY! Where am I supposed to put my iPhone now!
Adams: I think Crystal and Seleana have bigger problems, like getting back in the ring to beat Jasmine's ten count!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Jasmine's original count didn't even reach one before Crystal hit her dive and restarts it when the carnage is clear! For a while it looks like neither Seleana or Crystal will return to the ring in time for the ten count to be broken up but Crystal gets up to her feet first at the count of seven and Seleana isn't that far behind her though it's obvious that Seleana took the brunt of the impact from going through the table! Both women get back into the ring before the count of ten but seeing blood in the water Crystal goes for the pin on Seleana!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana gets the shoulder up! However, Crystal grabs Seleana's arm and flips her over into a cross arm breaker!
Simone: Seleana landed hard on that arm after that tumble to the outside and now Crystal is targeting it!
Adams: To say nothing off the destruction of our announcer's desk! Will it get repaired before the next match? I need something to put my feet on!
Jasmine gets into position to ask Seleana if she wants to submit but the Swedish Bombshell is already resisting the hold linking her arms together to block Crystal's attempt to force her to submit! Eventually the tall Bombshell gets back to her feet before her wife up in a one armed Powerbomb before slamming her down to break the hold! Seleana then goes for her first cover of the match despite still favouring her bad arm.
ONE!
TWO!
And Crystal gets the shoulder up before rolling to the outside to the try to halt her wife's momentum.
Simone: Now the shoes on the other foot with Crystal retrieving to the outside to get away from Seleana!
Adams: She should know better than anyone that Seleana is just as good, if not a better, high flyer than her though!
Seleana senses that her wife is up to something however and doesn't go for a dive, instead heading over to the ring ropes and going for a Springboard Hurricanrana to the outside but Seleana is caught by her wife who proceeds to POWERBOMB SELEANA ONTO THE APRON! But Crystal isn't done, instead taking Seleana to the barricade, and swinging her bad arm first into the barricade! Crystal only stops when Jasmine points out to her that she's risking a double countout and even then Crystal simply rolls in and out of the ring to force Jasmine to restart her count as Crystal continues to stomp away at Seleana's bad arm!
Simone: Good god, I don't think we've ever seen this side of Crystal and we've seen A LOT of sides of Crystal!
Adams: Tell me about it! You'd think that she was bitter enemies with Seleana, not her wife!
Eventually (once Jasmine's restarted count has reached five) Crystal picks up her wife and throws her back into the ring before following her in! Seleana is clearly favouring her back and bad arm but that doesn't stop Crystal from going for the pin on Seleana!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out! Crystal tries her earlier tactic again, going to flip Seleana over into a cross arm breaker attempt but this time Seleana blocks it before Crystal can get her over and counters the hold with a modified Texas Cloverleaf!
Simone: I said that the shoe was on the other foot earlier and now, that is true again as Seleana has Crystal at her mercy with that submission hold!
Adams: Can Seleana even keep the hold locked in though? Her arm and back have taken a lot of damage!
The pain is evident on both Seleana and Crystal's faces, Crystal from the submission hold and Seleana from all the things Crystal has done to her body during the course of the match, but Seleana refuses to let up until Crystal forces her hand by reaching the ring ropes and forcing the rope break! Seleana lets go off the hold immediately and Crystal uses the opportunity to pull herself back outside the ring and goes over to what's left of the announcer's desk to grab a steel chair.
Simone: Where the rules of this match ever disclosed? Because I don't remember this being a No DQ match!
Adams: I don't think Crystal cares at this point, and again, SELEANA IS HER WIFE!
Crystal sides the chair into the ring whilst Jasmine checks on Seleana until Crystal grabs Seleana's bad arm and wraps the chair around it! Before Jasmine can even register what's happening Crystal is heading to the top rope with her intentions are clear as day!
Simone: Don't do it Crystal! That could end Seleana's career!
Adams: I don't think she cares! Thankfully, Jasmine's there to try to talk sense into her!
Jasmine tries to talk Crystal down from whatever she's planning but it's clear that Crystal couldn't care less, however the distraction has allowed Seleana to get her arm free of the chair and she slides it out of the ring before Crystal can try to use it again! Crystal growls before she lunges at Seleana from the top rope only to fly right into a Superkick from Seleana! Seleana goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Crystal kicks out, however Seleana grabs Crystal and locks in the Shot of Z!
Simone: SHOT OF Z! Seleana has it locked in!
Adams: Crystal has nowhere to go, stick a fork in her she's done!
Crystal tries to resist the submission hold but it soon proves fruitless as she verbally submits to the hold!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner by submission, Seleana Zdunich!
Simone: Seleana gets the submission win but we saw a much more violent side of Crystal than we've ever seen before!
Adams: And that's saying something! What's gotten into Crystal tonight!
Seleana lets go off the hold and celebrates the win over her wife on the ramp! However, Crystal has started to come to as Jasmine checks on her.
Crystal: YOU BITCH! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!
Jasmine: You were going to injure Seleana!
Crystal: I DON'T CARE!
Crystal then shoves Jasmine nearly knocking over the ref in the process.
Simone: That's a fine for Crystal right there!
Jasmine returns the favour though, shoving Crystal back and knocking the former World Bombshell Champion onto her backside!
Adams: There's another reason you don't shove the SCW refs, they aren't afraid to shove back!
Jasmine shakes her head before leaving the ring as Crystal throws the mother of all temper tantrums in the ring!
Melissa is standing in her locker room with Goth, both preparing for their matches as Melissa notices the camera and smiles
Melissa: Hello folks, the couple that both have title matches ahead of themselves are prepared. Both are intending to make sure that we will walk out as champions in two difficult matches.
She turns her attention to Goth, who just finished lacing his boots.
Goth: We both will walk out as champions, both will make the world realize that we are the power couple of Sin City Wrestling... Now get lost
Crystal Zdunich had a scowl on her face as she walked throughout the boat. Fans were booing the blue haired vixen as she scowled at them. They were all in her face as they chanted at her over and over again.
Crowd: YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!
Crystal was in the middle of the world's biggest temper tantrum. She threw some chairs and started to break some SCW equipment. It didn't stop there as she saw a table by catering and flipped it over making sure all of the food fell on the ground. It wasn't that long until Pussy Willow ran over to where Crystal was standing. She hounded her as she couldn't help but follow her.
Pussy: Crystal do you think we can get a word with you about what went down tonight?!
Crystal doesn't say anything as she just storms away. Pussy follows her as she shakes her head at her.
Pussy: Please Crystal you can't walk away. I think the world wants to know how did you feel about stepping into the ring with your wife?! What did it feel like to tap out to somebody who you personally trained?! How did it feel to get shoved to the ground by Jasmine, and why are you losing it?! Care to explain your actions?!
Crystal didn't say anything as she just kept on walking. She ignores the interviewer as well as the chants. She finds her way to the medical area and it is there where we can see Chloe Benton being checked on by a medical official. Chloe looks over at Crystal holding her head in pain as she gets up and walks over to her.
Chloe: Miss Crystal are you okay? I saw what happened tonight and I want to make sure everything is good.
Crystal doesn't say anything as she just keeps on walking. Chloe gently places an arm on Crystal's shoulder as she tries to reach out to her again.
Crystal: Miss Crystal... I don't think I feel so good. The doctors are checking me and over and they are saying I have a concussion. I know you must feel bad that you lost to one of your many wives but...
Before Chloe can say anything further Crystal just loses her cool. She turns around grabbing Chloe by the hair and throws her against a wall of the boat. Benton head is smashed against the wall as she slumps down to the ground. Crystal is in a trance as she stomps the rookie wrestler out over and over again.
Crystal: For the love of God just shut the %^&* up! You want to know how I feel about my wife beating me?! You want to know how I feel?!
Crystal yanks her back up to her feet as she flips Chloe across a table. Chloe is in seriously pain as Crystal grabs her and begins to unload with fist after fist against her face. The girl can't even defend herself as Crystal cracks a wicked grin on her face.
Crystal: Everybody wants to feel sorry for me and even Christian said it best. Nobody likes me! Well guess what Seleana wanted me to find that confidence again?! She wanted me to finally stand tall and wake up. There's no denying WHO I was ALWAYS meant to be. No more trying to force the narrative that I should be liked! No more having to suck up to people to feel appreciated!
Crystal shakes the girl screaming in her face.
Crystal: It's time I looked out for me! Do you hear me Bitch?! It's time I looked out for me first!!!
When Chloe doesn't answer her Crystal drags her until she finds a steel folding chair. She sets it up and cracks a wicked grin. Without hesitation she does a hair flip ddt right onto the chair causing the chair to collapse as Chloe is sent head first against it. Crystal stands up as the boos are overwhelming. She cracks an evil grin as she looks down at Chloe.
Crystal: I never felt better in my entire life... That was liberating. Thank you so much for checking on me.
With that medical attention quickly runs onto the scene as Crystal walks away from the scene without a care in the world as we go elsewhere.
Justin Decent: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first
The lights in the arena go down and the sounds of organs fill the arena. After few moments, the first guitar rifts of Deep Purple's "Bad Attitude" fill the arena and the house lights come up and "Godly" Ken Davison stands at the top of the entrance ramp with his arms extended. The arena fills with boos, but Davison soaks them in as though they were the adulation of the masses and he was a returning war hero.
Davison marches down to thing right with a sense of self righteous pomposity. He ignores the crowd, taking the most direct path to the ring steps, pausing to wipe his boots before getting in the ring. He stands in the center of the ring with his arms extended as the music cuts out..
Justin Decent: Now coming to the ring, standing 5'10 and weighing in at 219 pounds from Baltimore Maryland...GODLY KEN DAVISON
The opening riffs of Fire In Our House by Astral Doors hits the speakers and Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii” Shirasu comes out to the stage, looking smug, and stands there as the crowd gives him boos. Hitamashii walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step before he looks around the crowd, and starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head with his nose in the air to look at the crowd, their faces showing that they do not like the way he is looking down upon them. Hitamashii lowers his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Hitamashii climbs up to the apron and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him..
Justin Decent: From Hijemi, Japan, standing at 5'8” and weighing in at 192lb, he is... Hitamashii!!!
DING DING DING!
And we're off as Hitamashii and Ken Davison eye each other off and move around each other. They measure each other up and as they step forward to hook up Davison moves to the side and Hitamashii stumbles forward before sneering and looking over at Kev who struts to the side shaking his head. The experienced Godly one trying to get into the head of his opponent from the beginning. Ken being the clear fan favorite here as the fans on the Sun Princess boo Hitamashii loudly and let their feelings get heard. The two move around each other again and Ken offers a collar and elbow again, they step forward and Ken tries to move to the side a second time, this time Hitamashii steps sideways, grabs Ken and blasts him with a european uppercut.
Ken goes down, Hitamashii smirks and nods before bending down and pulling Ken back up, he runs him backwards into the corner and slams his shoulder into Kens midsection over and over again before standing up and blasting him with a stiff forearm, he hits Davison over and over again before whipping Ken across the ring, Hitamashii runs in and leaps in the air hitting a dropkick right to the chest of Davison sending him down to a sitting position, Hitamashii backs up and then runs across the ring again and jumps hitting a somersault cannonball in the corner.
Adams: Hitamashii has started off hot here and he clearly has no time for Ken Davisons mindgames.
Simone: You know Ken has his eyes on the world title match later tonight and the winner between Matt Knox and Mac Bane but that could be a mistake, Hitamashii is underrated
Hitamashii pulls Ken up, he hooks his hand around Kens head and goes to run up the corner with the Shiranui that he calls the Nayru's Love, but as Hitamashii runs up the corner and goes to flip back Ken tosses Hitamashii off, Hitamashii lands on his feet behind Ken, Ken spins around as Hitamashii runs in and Ken ducks picking Hitamashii up and turning him around into the double A spinebuster, Hitamashii lands hard and bounces off the mat, Ken dives on Hitamashii and hooks his leg.
ONE!
TWO!
Hitamashii kicks out, Ken hits a few hard right hands and stands up pulling Hitamashii up by his hair, Ken measures Hitamashii up and blasts him with a stiff sounding forearm, Hitamashii stumbles back and then blasts Ken back, Ken eats the shot and hits another as he and Hitamashii trade forearms, the shots slowly start to get faster and faster nas the crowd gets more into it, Ken intercepts Hitamashiis shot with one of his own, Hitamashii stumbles but as Ken steps forward Hitamashii hits a superkick and Davison goes down. Hitamashii covers.
ONE!
TWO!
Davison kicks out
Simone: These two traded back and forth and it looked like Ken was winning the exchange but then...Hitamashii with the superkick
Adams: He dove on Davsion thinki9ng he could get the win but Davison is not done yeta, but I still think some people will be surprised with how well Hitamashii is doing even with his recent win over Mark Cross...
Hitamashii pulls Ken up, he backs him into the ropes ansd whips Ken across the ring, he stops and ducks down going for a back body drop, Ken jumps over Hitamashii and hits the ropes on the opposite side, Hitamashii turns and goes for a hiptoss, Ken blacks it and then throws his arm sideways destroying Hitamashii with a lariat, the sweat flies off Hitamashiis chest and he goes down. Ken shakes his head and pulls Hitamashii back up, he grabs Hitamashii amd butterflies his arms calling for the Kenadian destroyer, he goes to jump but as they start to move Hitamashii blocks it and then throws his body down slamming his own body onto Ken and keeping him down with a bridge.
ONE!
TWO!
Ken kicks out!
Simone: That was close! Hitamashii had Ken down and to make sure he could kick out Ken had to let Hitamashii go
Adams: He turned Kens double underhook flipping piledriver into a pinning predicament. That was smart!
Hitamashii tells off the referee, he seems frustrated as Ken slides to the side and grabs the ropes pulling himself up, Hitamashii realises Davison is getting up he runs at Davison who looks over and low bridges the top rope sending Hitamashii down to the ringside area. Ken follows and ducks down right away tackling Hitamashii into the barricade separating the fans from the ringside area. Ken turns and does it again this time running Hitamashii back first into the ring apron as the referee counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Davison grabs Hitamashii and goes to run him face first into the steel post, Hitamashii turns and reverses it sending Ken face first into it with a loud thud, Ken slides down thye pole and shakes his head as Hitamashii slides back in.
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Davison shakes his head and looks up realizing he's about to get counted out.
NINE!
Davison slides in and breaks the count. This seems to infuriate Hitamashii who grabs Ken and right away goes for the Nayrus love again!. Ken again throws Hitamashii back on instinct, Hitamashii lands behind Davison and wraps himself around him right into the submission hold the Evil is forever!. Davison kicks his legs as Hitamashii cranks harder, he is able to slide over and hook his feet on the ropes forcing the break.
Simone: Hitamashii had that submission locked but Davison, the ring veteran knew right were he was in the ring.
Adams: Ken Davsion is a ring general, he knows where he is and with over twenty years in this business his ring awareness is on a whole other level.
Hitamashii looks frustrated, he shakes his head and measures Ken up who crawls closer to the ropes, Hitamashii springs forward and goes for the Farare's wind, Davison slides backward and Hitamashii hits the ropes, Davison kicks Hitamashii in the stomach and sets him up for the Kenadian destroyer flipping and spiking Hitamashii right on his head!. Hitamashii goes limp and Davison covers hooking the outside leg.
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Hitamashii kicks out!. Devison sits up and then falls back down face first staring off into space not believing Hitamashii was able to kick out of that. Ken stands up and shakes his head, Hitamashii looks dazed and stumbles as he stands. Davison steps forward and locks in the Hands of god!. He takes Hitamashii down and starts to squeeze the iron and stomach claws. Hitamashii kicks his legs and thrashes but can't get to the ropes and instead taps out
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner..... Godly Ken Davison!
Adams: Huge win for the Goldy one, I think we can safely say there will be gold in that man's future.
Standing near the gorilla press area, Sam Marlowe looks calm and determined as a camera is pointed her way.
Sam Marlowe: Bea, are you ready? Got your little weak as water perfume handy? I hope you do because when it comes to our match in just a little bit, there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide for you.
Tonight is the night where you will strike out for the third time facing me. And before you go off on me using a baseball reference let me just say that it is apropos when it comes to facing me. See, first time we met in the ring, you swung on and missed when I beat you. Then your second strike was quite recently and once more you lost. And tonight, well...tonight is gonna be a three peat loss for you. And when I am done, you will have struck out.
Sam slowly smiles before leaning closer to the camera.
Sam Marlowe: Tonight will make you a three time loser and that is nothing but the TRUTH!
Sam winks at the camera and then disappears from view by brushing her way through the curtains.
We cut backstage to where Scott Oliver is standing in the hallway to interview Bea Barnhart. Bea is already in her wrestling attire and the look on her face tells us she's ready for her match with Samantha Marlowe.
Scott: Before I ask you questions about your match with Samantha Marlowe would you like to comment on Bill entering the Male Best Ass in a Speedo contest and being turned down?
Bea: Bill has one of the nicest asses on the planet and even more so when decorated with a Speedo. For those running the contest to deny Bill his right to enter the contest, only because they know he would win, is disgusting. As least I know that damn fine ass of Bill's belongs to me.
Scott: Uh. . .Okay. . .So Bea how are you feeling going into your match against Samantha Marlowe?
Bea: I'm fired up and ready to put the hurt on her! I'm tired of people in Sin City Wrestling falsely accusing me of stuff I didn't do! I'm here to put a stop to their lying bullshit! I'm here to hurt them and possibly put them into retirement but I'll do so within the rules of the match at hand. If I put wrestlers into early retirement so be it I'm not tolerating lying crap against me again! When people see what I do to assholes who lie to me they'll get on my side of the fence and realize that being with me is a way better option that to lie about me and falsely accuse me!
Scott: But you did do what they claim you did when it comes to the injury to Fenris.
Bea: So let me ask you some questions Scott. Your answers will determine if I'll grant you the privilege of interviewing me again in the future. During that match of Fenris did I spray Fenris in the face with the perfume?
Scott: No. It was Senor Vinnie who did that.
Bea: Okay so I'm not guilty of the accusation that I sprayed Fenris in the face! Did I hand the spray bottle to Senor Vinnie during his match with Fenris?
Scott: No. What I saw was that your attention was taken to Jason and Belinda at their table where they comment on matches and on your way to their table you placed the spray bottle on the ring apron and it was outside of the ropes.
Bea: Then I'm also not guilty of the accusation of handing the spray bottle to Senor Vinnie! So, Scott, you didn't see me do anything wrong and neither did anyone else watching that match! Either you back off on the false accusations of you'll not be interviewing me again!
Scott: Okay, Bea, I was wrong and I got caught up in the lies others were telling about you.
Bea: Thanks for telling the truth Scott. Just watch this match and watch me humiliate and destroy Sam to where she'll never ask for a match against me again. Thanks for your time for this interview.
Scott: You're welcome Bea. There you have it. Bea has set the record straight and now she goes into a match against Sam Marlowe and this should be an epic battle.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a GRUDGE MATCH, scheduled for one fall!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.
Adams: This is going to be a fight, these two do not like each other.
Simone: I'm not sure Bea likes anybody other than Bill.
Adams: And Iris, right?
Simone: Okay, outside of her family.
The soft twang of an electric guitar begins to play as "She's Country" blasts out over the arena. A familiar redhead walks out onto the stage of the show dressed in white and gold hotpants, matching halter, short jacket and a pair of lace up wrestling boots that look like cowboy boots where she stops and looks over the crowds who begin to chant her name as Justin brings the microphone to his lips.
Justin: Introducing from Houston Texas, she has been known as SCW's sweetheart, she is Sam Marlowe!
Sam raises her arms as she is introduced. Heading to the ring, she plays to the fans, slapping hands and posing with others. Sam charges and Bea meets her in the aisle. Sam ducks a clothesline shot and fires off right hands that stagger Bea back. Bea responds with a knee to the mid-section that slows Sam's attack. Bea begins leading Sam back to the ring, but Sam shoots a couple elbows to the mid-section of Bea, and the slams her head into the ring apron and rolls her into the ring, Sam following suit. The bell finally sounds to begin the match officially.
DING DING DING!
Adams: And here we go!
Sam instantly tackles Bea and begins raining down rights and lefts on the woman who has caused her so much grief. Bea covers up and Jacob has to step in and force Sam to let Bea up. Sam backs off, but only momentarily as she continues to kick and stomp at Bea, who is able to get back to her feet in the corner. Sam comes in again, but eats a high back elbow for her troubles. Bea then knocks down Sam with a clothesline and raises her arms to the crowd, drawing boos.
Adams: Bea is double tough.
Simone: She's proven it time and time again here in SCW.
Bea goes back to the attack kicking and stomping on Sam and pulling her up to her feet, delivering clubbing blows to the back along the way, which drop Sam back down to her knees. Bea pulls Sam up again and backs her into the ropes before shooting her off. Bea extends her arm for a clothesline, but Sam counters and wraps her legs around Bea's head and takes her over with a headscissors! Bea pops up, more embarrassed than anything and runs with into a drop kick! Bea scrambles up again, holding the ropes, and gets dropkicked again and sent sprawling to the floor!
Adams: Sam is on a roll!
Sam pumps her fist and the crowd cheers as Sam readies herself, and when Bea stands up on the floor, Sam dives out onto her with a suicide dive, driving Bea into the barricade!
Adams: What a dive!
Simone: Bea got nailed on that one!
Sam gets up and Bea is still down. Sam grabs Bea and begins hitting more punches as Jacob begins the count on both women.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Sam grabs Bea and tosses her back inside with Sam following suit. Bea rolls onto her back holding her head, and Sam steps on her, and shows amazing athleticism and delivers a moonsault to Bea while standing on her! Sam stays on top for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Bea kicks out.
Adams: Sam Marlowe is an amazing athlete.
Simone: And quite creative!
Sam looks at Jacob who indicates a two-count. Bea uses the ropes to stand up and Sam is right there to delivered a stinging chop that sends Bea back into the corner again. Sam moves in and delivers a couple of kicks and drive Bea down in the corner. Sam takes a moment to play to the crowd, and backs up. She charges, looking for a bronco buster, but Bea is able to dodge at the last second!
Adams: Nobody home!
Sam is hurting now as Bea stands up, trying to shake off the cobwebs, and goes back to stomping Sam on the mat. Bea heads outside and drags Sam's legs between the post and then wraps Sam's left leg around it! Sam yells in pain and Bea does it a second time. Jacob warns her about the count and tells her to get in the ring. Bea holds up her hands in mock surrender and rolls into the ring. Bea pulls Sam out of the corner, and picks up her left leg, and begins kicking it, trying to wear down the leg of Sam. Bea follows it up with an elbow drop to the knee of Sam, who groans in pain, and so Bea repeats the action. More groaning from Sam as Bea has now picked out her target. She lifts Sam's leg up again, and drags her towards the ropes, setting the leg on the ropes, before butt-dropping onto Sam's leg. Sag howls in pain as now Bea looks to be in total control.
Adams: Sam is in deep trouble.
Simone: Bea has zeroed in on that leg, and she will take it apart if Sam doesn't mount some offense here.
Bea repeats the action a second time and again Sam yells in pain. Sam rolls away clutching her leg and knee. Bea is very pleased with herself as Sam moves to her stomach to try and get back up, but Bea grabs her leg again, lifts it up high and drives her knee into the canvas. Sam is almost in the fetal position as Bea kicks and stomps at the knee of Sam. Sam is able to squirm to the ropes and Bea pretty much kicks her out of the ring. Bea turns again to the crowd, drawing boos
Adams: It's not looking good for Sam right now.
Bea heads outside, as Sam clutches at her knee. Bea pulls Sam up and goes behind her and lifts her in atomic drop position, but drops her knee-first across the apron! Sam screams in pain and crumbles to the ground. Jacob is keeping count as Bea rolls in to break the count and then pulls up Sam and throws her back inside. Bea follows suit and again points at Sam, drawing boos from the crowd, who begin to stomp and clap to try and get Sam back into the match. Bea covers her ears, not wanting to hear from the crowd.
Adams: I don't think Bea is making many friends.
Simone: But she's taking her eye off the ball!
Bea is totally distracted and Sam is able to use the rope to get up. Bea turns around and sees this and grabs Sam's leg only to catch and Enziguri for her troubles and the fans pop for the move!
Adams: Enziguri and both women are down!
Sam is slowly able to get up using the ropes and is limping pretty badly, but the angry look on her face gives her motivation as she hammers away on Bea with right hands. Bea is staggered back and bounces off the ropes, rebounding back for a clothesline, but Sam ducks. Bea turns around, and she eats a flying clothesline from Sam who leaps off one foot! Sam is on adrenaline and hits another clothesline as Bea stands. Sam slaps her leg to try and get the blood flowing again and hobbles over and Bea staggers up. Bea makes it to the corner and Sam tries another flying attack but Bea is out of the corner. Sam is able to stop herself however and use her good leg and boost herself onto the middle rope. Bea has no idea and when she turns around Sam flies off with a crossbody! Sam stays on top as Jacob gets into position!
ONE!
TWO!
Bea kicks out!
Adams: Bea is still in this.
Simone: But she's reeling!
Sam uses the ropes to get up, still limping as Bea is all kinds of discombobulated and turns into Sam, who connects with a nice DDT! Sam stands up, pointing top the top rope!
Adams: Could it be the Sammisault?!
Sam slowly climbs, her leg killing her. She makes it to the top, but the climb takes too long and Bea is there and hits Sam in the back and then the knee, causing Sam to fall of the top rope and crash to the mat below. Bea shakes off the cobwebs and drags Sam to the middle of the ring, and lasso's to the crowd.
Adams: The Pretzel!
Simone: If she locks this in it's game over.
Bea wraps the leg, looking for the figure four, but Sam reverses into an inside cradle!
ONE!
TWO!
Bea kicks out!
However, when Bea kicks out, Sam keeps a hold on her head and locks in the Sammi Wrap!
Adams: Sammi Wrap! Out of nowhere!
Simone: What a slick counter!
Bea struggles and squirms, but has no place to go and begins to fade, once she realizes this, Bea gently reaches up and taps out.
Adams: And Sam has done it!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is you winner, as a result of a submission.... SAM MARLOWE!
Sam let's go of the choke as Bea clutches her neck. Jacob checks on her as Sam, still holding her knee, scoots to the apron in a seated position, a satisfied smile on her face.
Adams: Sam Marlowe pulls out the win against the double tough Bea Barnhart.
Simone: Samantha earned every bit of that victory.
The camera jumps backstage to where Ben Jordan is seen with a smile on his face, minutes away from his match. Ben turns and smiles at the camera.
Ben: Alright people.
Ben smiles widers.
Ben: What a cracking week it's been here on this lovely jubbley ship. I know you good people didn't see me on camera this week and that was my bad, I admit that, some things just got away from me a little bit and it coulen't be helped but there was a lot of good stuff you didn't see and that's being around them lovely people behind that curtain.
Ben nods his head towards the curtain.
Ben: It's been a cracker and in just a minute or so's time, I get to go out there and wrestling in front of them, and you guys watching at home, staying up late back home in England, jumping in early in the States and getting up early in the land down under. I said the other day I was gonna give you all a blinding show, I said that tonight starts the road to Ben Jordan redemption, I said it was my way of kicking on and showing you all that there's life in this old dog yet and I am not gonna let any of you down.
Ben sharply shakes his head.
Ben: I got a tough opponent for me, and he speaks highly of me as a person, a wrestler, and seems to get me and the feeling is very much the same coming from me too about him, so I know it's a tough one for me, I know it's a fella who gets my respect before a punch is thrown, and there's gonna be a few of those in a minute, but I still believe tonight, it's coming home, I still believe this is my night and it's time to show you guys that and keep my promise to you all.
Ben walks towards the curtain, getting a pat on the shoulder from Max Burke and Fenris as he passes.
Ben: Someone start up someone's music, cause I got a job to do.
Ben winks at the camera.
Ben: See you guys in a minute.
The camera cuts to ringside.
In the ring, Dawn Barnes can be seen checking the ropes.
Simone: Tonight we see Agostino Romano face off against a very game Ben Jordan.
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...
The opening guitar riff to "Blame it on the Boom Boom" by Black Stone Cherry starts to play. The riff repeats itself once more. A British flag appears on the screen, waving with a gray filter and the lyrics kick in. The familiar face of Ben Jordan appears on the screen. The fans instantly burst in to cheers as a smiling Ben Jordan appears at the top of the ramp, dressed in a white shorts with matching knee pads and boots. Ben looks around the crowd, his trademark smile on his face. He turns his head to the left, winking at the crowd before slowly walking down the ramp. He moves to the left, running his hand along the fans, high fiving as many as possible, before moving to the right and doing the same. Ben stops in front of a fan with a phone and moves next to them, allowing them to take a selfie with the smiling Englishman
Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From London, England, weighing two hundred twenty pounds -- Ben Jordan!
He stands outside the ring, looking up at ring, before moving to the steps and jumping up them. He ducks down and in to the ring through the middle and top rope and spins in to the corner, climbing on the top rope and raising his hands. He quickly jumps down and moves towards the center of the ring, waiting for his opponent.
Simone: Ben Jordan looks confident tonight for sure but what about his opponent who Justin is about to announce now.
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 looks ready for this match tonight Belinda.
Simone: You are right Jason. But he really needs to be on his toes with Ben Jordan.
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 looks across at Ben Jordan in the ring with James standing at ringside.
Simone: Two fan favorites in the ring and the match is about to start.
Adams: There is Dawn signalling for the bell.
DING DING DING!
The two begin to circle before locking up in a collar and elbow lock up that neither man can take advantage of. Agostino manages to shift Jordan enough to roll the collar and elbow into a headlock. Ben pushes Romano off and into the ropes where he rebounds then takes Ben off his feet with a clothesline that sends him to the mat. Agostino waits for Jordan to rise and uses a chop on the chest of Ben. Agostino stops for only a moment before he charges towards the opposite ropes to rebound again. Ben throws himself to the mat forcing Romano to leap over him. Rebounding off the ropes again, Agostino is taken to the mat with a gutwrench suplex from Ben. Agostino gets on his hands and knees to see Ben on his feet striding towards him. Romano pushes himself backwards and under the bottom rope to the outside. Ben follows him to the ropes and reaching over the top rope, grasps Agostino by the hair and pulls him on the apron. Before Ben can pull him into the ring, Romano grabs him by the back of the head and drops to the floor and hanging Jordan on the top rope which slingshots him backwards. Quickly sliding into the ring, Agostino attempts a pin.
Adams: Agostino trying to end this early Belinda!
Ben 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 Jordan to try and put in him a sharpshooter. Ben uses his leg strength to prevent the hold then kicks Agostino into the ropes. Romano rebounds as Jordan rises and counters with a lariat that sends Romano to the mat. Catching Romano by a leg, Ben wraps it around his own knee then drops to lock on a figure four that has Agostino scream out in pain. The two are locked near the ropes and Romano reaches back in desperation to break the hold. He manages to twist enough to gain a few inches so that he can grasp the bottom rope. Ben releases the hold then he rises to pull Agostino to his feet. Catching the head of a pained Romano, he hits a bridging northern lights suplex that is counted a pin for a two count. Agostino manages to kick out barely and Ben rolls away to kip to his feet. Romano rolls away to his hands and knees.
Simone: Both men are hitting some great moves tonight. Either man could pull out the win.
Barnes warns Ben off as Agostino rolls to the ropes. Using his hands and the ropes, Romano stands and leans against them as Jordan rushes towards him. The cockney king charges at him with a clothesline attempt but Romano throws himself to the side and avoids the strike. Agostino sees an advantage and rushes towards Ben to land on his back and take him off his feet with a reverse frankensteiner that sends Jordan to the mat. Agostino quickly rushes to the corner and climbs the turnbuckles to the top. Looking down at Jordan who is slowly getting up, Agostino launches himself off the top rope with a frog splash that stops Ben from getting to his hands and knees. Agostino rolls to the side clutching his midsection in pain as Jordan sucks in air from the frog splash. Agostino fights his way to his hands and knees and crawls towards Ben who sits up and turns with a smirk and a wagging finger at Romano who stops in his tracks with a surprised look on his face.
Adams: I think that Agostino thought he had the match won with that splash.
Simone: Never count out Ben Jordan Jason, he will surprise you every time.
Jordan gets to his feet slowly as Agostino has a confused look and turns his back away from Jordan. Ben rushes and leaps on the bottom rope and takes down Agostino with a springboard clothesline that takes both men to the mat once more. Agostino is quick to roll to the outside once more and lean against the apron. Ben rushes off the opposite ropes and launches himself at Romano with a suicide dive that takes both men to the floor. Neither are moving as Dawn motions for the start of her ten count. At five, both men begin to move and Ben reaches up to pull himself to a vertical position. He rolls into the ring as Agostino rises and follows him into the ring. Ben Jordan catches the Italian and launches Agostino into the ropes then he rebounds into a kick to the midsection that doubles him over and Ben uses this to catch him with an exploder suplex that sends him skidding across the canvas. Agostino lays on the mat as Barnes checks on him. Ben reaches down and pulling Romano to his feet, scoops him up and slams him to the mat once more. Agostino arches in pain as his hand goes to his back. Ben picks him up again and once more scooping him up for a suplex slam. Agostino manages to use a forearm on Jordan that prevents the second suplex as Ben drops him to the mat. Romano is quick to roll to the outside and rests against the ring apron.
Simone: Agostino keeps slowing it down by rolling to the outside which is a very good strategy.
Ben 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 cockney king with shooting star ddt that sends Ben to the floor face first in front of the announce table. Leaving Jordan on the outside, Agostino rolls into the ring and breaks the count. Barnes moves towards the ropes to check on a slowly rising Ben who uses the announce table to rise. Ben backs away to the ring as Agostino leaps on the turnbuckle and launches himself towards him 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. Ben 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. Ben reaches up and pulls himself up to the apron with one hand then slides over the middle rope and into the ring before looking at the slowly rising Agostino.
Simone: This looks like the beginning of the end for Romano.
Ben Jordan makes it to his feet and moves towards Agostino. Rising slowly, Romano motions for Jordan to bring it while still clutching at his chest. Ben looks around then charges at Agostino who attempts a dropkick on Jordan but Ben is able to bat the attempt away. Reaching down, Ben pulls Romano to his feet then whips him chest first into the corner. Slamming hard into the turnbuckles, Agostino staggers out into a reverse frankensteiner from Ben who takes Romano to the mat. Ben kips up and then stands over the prone Agostino. Reaching down, Ben pulls him to his feet then between his legs. Catching up his arms, Ben pulls him upwards to land on his shoulder. With Agostino still stunned, Jordan looks around then hits his that hadta hurt lungblower powerbomb move on Lincoln which drives him hard to the canvas. Rolling towards Romano who is laid out on the mat, Jordan reaches for the leg and rolls him up for the pin. Dawn drops to the mat to make the count on the prone Agostino.
Simone: Ben Jordan hits his finisher and from the looks of it, Agostino Romano is finished.
ONE!
Adams: Ben Jordan is not going to let this match end without the win.
TWO!
Adams: Romano is beginning to struggle to escape the pin but Jordan is has him down for the pin and he is going nowhere.
Simone: Dawn is about to count the finish now so I think that Agostino will just miss out this time.
THREE!
Adams: And there it is...the pin that got the three.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Ben Jordan!
Jordan rolls away from Agostino and gets to his feet to have his arm raised in victory. Jasmine holds up his hand in victory then checks on the Agostino Romano who has rolled to the ropes where he is met by his wife and helped from the ring.
Adams: What a win by Ben Jordan. Agostino put up a really good fight but it wasn't enough to beat the Cockney King tonight.
Simone: Ben Jordan continuing to celebrate his win.
Jordan climbs the turnbuckles to celebrate as begins to play as Ben moves across the ring to climb the opposite corner to hold his arms up in victory once more.
Vinnie can be seen in his locker room in the darkness
Vinnie: I am prepared for my match Max, I hope you are also. It is still not too late to bail out of your challenge...But I doubt you ever will. I just hope that you will not fear.... Me...
With that he smiles as the shot fades.
We cut to a pre-recorded clip from earlier today. Max sips his iced coffee, as he looks out to the horizon from the top deck of the cruise ship. Max pauses for a moment taking in the sea breeze.
Max: Sin City Wrestling, get ready for a wild night of action here on board the Sun Princess. Vinnie as we fight our way through the darkness, this match isn't about wins or losses.
Max takes a seat on one of the top deck's loungers, and lays back to take in the warmth of the mid morning sun.
Max: This match is all about the line that you do not cross. Your actions put Fenris on the shelf. Your actions have cost our friend weeks of rehabilitation, and a ton of what ifs. Tonight, you're going to get what's coming to you because of what Bea did. If there's one thing I can always guarantee is that I'll make sure you know you have been in one hell of a fight. Tonight is no different. I'm going to step between the ropes of Sin City Wrestling, pull that hood over my head... we will eventually get a hold of each other, and beat the ever living hell out of each other. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Jasmine St. John, senior referee for SCW, steps through the ropes as the introductions for the next match is about to begin.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Blindfold match!
The crowd cheers!
Jared James Nichols opening vocals on "Nails In The Coffin" cuts through the silence, as a fog fills the SCW entrance. A light from below reveals Max Burke.
Justin: On his way to the ring, from Dorchester, New Brunswick Canada, standing at 6' and weighing in at 220lb... Max Burke!!!
As the music intensifies, Burke reaches the edge of the squared circle. He turns on his heel, and makes his way to the ring steps. Once on the ringside apron, Burke glides his finger over the top rope as he walks to the center. He turns, his head bowed. Spotlights hit him from all directions as his music reaches a crescendo. Max lifts his head and poses for the fans.
Simone: While many lay the blame for the blinding of Fenris on Bea Barnhart, that man right there Max Burke is not one of them. He blames Senor Vinnie for going through with it and taking advantage of the fact to score a rare win over the White Wolf.
Adams: And that is the entire point behind tonight's match! Not only is Max looking to avenge his friend Fenris, but he wants to make Vinnie feel the way Fenris has felt the past few months when he was unable to see!
Justin: And his opponent...!
The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of 6 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 ramp way. 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. He stops as we see Bea Barnhart walk out to accompany him to the ring before the two continue their strut.
Justin: Coming down the aisle accompanied by Bea Barnhart!! Standing in at 6'8 and weighing in at 280 pounds!! Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico!! Senor Vinnie!!!!
Vinnie and Bea walk to the ring as Vinnie holds the rope open for her as she steps through. He then steps through the ropes himself and hands her the cologne that he carries with him before posing a few moments before staring down his opponent.
Adams: Now all Max has to do is find a way to not just see thru his hood but to keep a look out for that woman right there!
Simone: It's funny how she warns every opponent of Bill Barnhart about outside interference when she's done more interfering than any of her husband's opponents - combined!
With the black hoods in hand, Jasmine moves to secure the first over Vinnie's head when Bea intervenes and insists instead that the referee blindfold Max Burke first...
Simone: Are you KIDDING me?
Jasmine and Bea argue over the point when Jasmine all but shoulder checks past Bea and steps behind Vinnie. Bea continues to argue with the referee as Vinnie crouches lower so the diminutive referee can slip the hood over his head and she secures it snug. Jasmine then goes toward Max when Bea tries to cut her off, pointing a finger in Jasmine's face but Jasmine swats it away!
Adams: C'mon Bea! Don't get in Jasmine's face like that!
Simone: Jasmine does not take that from the male Superstars! She's not going to be intimidated by Bea Barnhart!
Jasmine attends to Max who already leans his head over for Jasmine to slip the hood on him and secure it and then she steps back.
Adams: This has to be the weirdest match I can imagine having!
Simone: Weirder than that S&M Dominatrix Dungeon match you had once down in GXW?
Adams: WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THAT!!!
Jasmine then calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
And almost immediately both men begin stumbling around the ring, turning this way and that, attempting to somehow - in some way - find where the other is so they can make physical contact and the match can officially begin! Bea starts shouting towards Vinnie, his hooded head turning in her general direction as she calls out that Max is standing "over there"...
Simone: Over where!? he can't see where you're pointing you ditz!
Bea calls out "Left" and "right" to direct traffic so to speak, as Max uses the ropes to carefully move around the ring, one step at a time. Vinnie remains where he stands, turning at the call of Bea's voice to face where she is directing him.
Adams: That's going to be an advantage that Max doesn't have! Neither man can see but Vinnie has a pair of eyes in a way, namely Bea!
Max has maneuvered his way almost toward where the former World and Internet Champion is standing when Bea calls out "NOW!" prompting Vinnie to lunge forward, but Bea's warning acts in Max's benefit as well as he feels the shaking of the ring as Vinnie rushes him - and Max drops down and catches Vinnie in a drop toe hold by sheer, dumb luck! Vinnie plants face-first right on the mat!
Simone: Bea is helping her man Vinnie but in doing so, Max is trying to use the sound of her voice and her calling directions to his own advantage!
Knowing Vinnie is right there, on the mat, Max grabs at him blindly and jumps on his back and he starts throwing haymakers at where he is holding his head, bone meeting bone! Max then grabs two handfuls of the hood covering Vinnie's head and he bashes his face into the mat, followed by a second time and a third! Max then goes back to throwing forearm shots to the back of Vinnie's head and into his back until Vinnie manages to buck him off!
Adams: They key to winning a match like this is to keep hold of your opponent!
Simone: That is exactly right because if you have hold of him, you can do whatever damage it takes to win!
Max grabs at Vinnie and secures a hold of his upper body but Vinnie suddenly scoops him up around the legs and runs forward - intending to strike him back against a corner but Bea shrieks in dismay as instead Vinnie runs him into the ring ropes and both men falls through and to the outside, being unable to stop their fall! They both land in a heap, one right on top of the other!
Simone: Awkward!
Adams: Only if you take into account where Max's hand was!
Both men fall over on the ringside floor, trying to get to their feet and reaching blindly while attempting to move around carefully where anything might happen on the outside.
Simone: These two need to find a way back inside of the ring. God knows what harm they can do to themselves on the outside when they can't see!
Max backs up and stumbles on a power cord and falls back, landing on his backside with a 'huff'! Vinnie turns to the direction he heard the noise come from and he runs forward and goes for a big boot - and kicks the ring post!
Adams: Oh no! Vinnie could have broken his foot!
Simone: That is exactly what I am talking about! The dangers on the outside are even worse in this instance!
Vinnie collapses to the ground, clutching his foot, as Bea hurries around to try to help but Jasmine warns her to back away! Again Max uses the noise of Vinnie and Bea to find his target and he is all over the larger man, throwing hammering fists down into him! Max then grabs him and pulls Vinnie to his feet and attempts an Irish whip into -- anything -- but Vinnie reverses it and ALMOST sends Burke careening right into Bea!
Adams: Look OUT!
But Bea dives out of the way and Max hits the guardrail and goes flying over it and into the front row of fans!
Adams: Can you imagine if he had hit the rail of the cruise and went over...?
Simone: I do not want to even imagine that!
Vinnie falls back against the ringside, stumbling obviously on his injured foot. Vinnie turns around and carefully climbs back inside of the ring as Jasmine finally begins her count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Max finally gets back and the fans help direct traffic for the popular Superstar. he rears a fist back once or twice but their calls and cheers help him against the barricade. Max carefully climbs over it.
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Max manages to stumble against the ring apron himself and he rolls back in, breaking the count!
Simone: Back inside where it's safe.. well, safer!
Both Vinnie and Max stumble about again, Vinnie's limp pronounced. Bea is again calling out to Vinnie where Max is, while Max starts to point around the ring, the fans booing when he's NOT pointing at Vinnie but when he is, they cheer!
Adams: VERY smart! Vinnie has Bea, Max has the fans!
This time when the cheers increase, Max is the one to take control and he charges forward and the two men collide into one another! Vinnie is the larger of the two and he grabs Max by the head, holding him in a front face lock and throwing overhead blows down into his back while Max swings uppercuts into Vinnie's midsection, trying to fight him off! Vinnie then opts to use his having hold of Burke to his advantage by lifting him up for a vertical suplex - but Max uses his own ring experience and position to wrap his legs around Vinnie's upper body and now HE has VINNIE in a guillotine choke!
Simone: Now THAT is the Hallmark of a true ring veteran! Even when he couldn't see his opponent, Max knew where Vinnie was well enough and now he has the former multi-time champion in danger!
Max squeezes for all he is worth, as Vinnie slowly succumbs! Vinnie sinks to one knee as Max holds on, and Jasmine moves in to ask if he wants to give up but Vinnie shakes his head in the negative! But slowly Vinnie begins to recover and fight back! Even with the two hundred and twenty pound Burke hanging off of him, Vinnie slowly powers his way back to a vertical base!
Simone: Vinnie may be a taco short of a combination plate, but the man is STRONG!
Vinnie then lifts Burke high upside down in position for a delayed vertical suplex and brings him crashing down!
Adams: Did you see where they were!?
Simone: They were too close to the ropes for my liking! If they fell the wrong way, Max could have been dumped out of the ring and hurt badly!
Vinnie rolls over and manages a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Kick out by Max!
Simone: First cover of the match and it was not enough for Max to secure the win!
Both men roll away from the other and Max uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet as Vinnie stands up nearby. Bea again calls out and Vinnie charges for a big boot, but Max falls back and Vinnie hangs himself on the top rope!
Adams: Ohh! If Vinnie didn't sing soprano before...!
Max grabs the top rope and starts to shake it up and down, bouncing Vinnie along with it in a VERY uncomfortable position! Max then steps back and lashes out with a superkick and just MANAGES to connect with the side of Vinnie's head! Vinnie falls off of the ropes and Max makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Vinnie gets a shoulder up!
Simone: Close but STILL not enough!
Max steps back just far enough to remain out of reach but still with a sense of where Vinnie is. Vinnie stumbles to his feet slowly and Max moves in - but as he collides with Vinnie, Vinnie grabs him and swings him up and drives him down...!
Adams: Lights Out!
Vinnie rolls max over onto his back and hooks the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner -- SENOR VINNIE!!!
Vinnie tears his hood off as Bea hurries into the ring and nudges Jasmine away so that she can raise Vinnie's arm in victory!
On the deck of the Sun Princess cruiseliner, SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas stands by Ms. Rocky Mountains for an on-the-spot interview.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Mercedes, tonight you could potentially make history and walk out of this year's Ultimate X Over the Pool match the first-ever five-time Bombshell Roulette Champion but not only has history not been kind to you at Summer XXXTreme but you certainly got your work cut for you against the champion Kat Jones and fellow contenders Kayla Richards and Melissa.
Mercedes: Yeah, obviously, Rocky. You think I don't know that that my opponents weren't going to make this easy? We all had to qualify to be in this match so nothing about tonight will be a cakewalk, especially when there's a title at stake.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: And with no love lost between you four, this is a match that could possibly steal the show.
Mercedes: It IS going to steal the show, Rocky, because I'M in it. But it seems to me that I'm the only one flying under the radar. I don't get it. Kat thinks she's arrived now in SCW because she's turned the corner after her rough start, Kayla thinks people are going to throw palms at her feet like she's Jesus even though she's been in SCW for exactly three months, and Melissa already thinks she has this match in the bag. Seriously, what do they have that I don't? A championship, an undefeated streak? Well, Kat is about to kiss her title reign buh-bye and Kay and Mel - if either were to win tonight - won't be undefeated forever. They still have the fact that they haven't been pinned yet, but that don't impress me much. Let see them go unpinned for NINE STRAIGHT MONTHS like I did my first year in SCW, then we'll talk.
Mercedes now turns her full attention to the camera.
Mercedes: When people talk about the Bombshell Roulette Championship, they talk about Mercedes Vargas. When they talk about the most decorated talent in the women's division and the entire company, nobody holds a candle to me. Kayla and Melissa can try and dismiss me all they want, but deep down, they know that I'm the most deadliest threat not only to them but Kat too.
Ladies, remember, I'm not in this match with you, you're in this match with me. So the way I see it, one of you could be a star tonight. Or...
She quickly holds up an index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.
Mercedes: O, todos podéis verme hacer historia como la primera y única cinco veces Campeon de la ruleta bombazo SCW. [Or, you can all see me make history as the first and only five-time SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion].
Simone: It's time for our second title match of the night! We saw the men's Roulette Title be defended in the opener and now the woman's Roulette Division takes centre stage as Kat Jones defends the Bombshell Roulette Title against Kayla Richards, Melissa and Mercedes Vargas!
Adams: Kat Jones has defended her title against two former champions in Seleana Zdunich and Krystal Wolfe but this title match offers up two fresh faces in the form of Kayla and Melissa, Mercedes has held the title before and with her recent run of luck, maybe tonight will be her night?
Simone: One way to find out! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is the Bombshell Ultimate X Over the Pool Match for the Bombshell Roulette Championship!
The crowd cheers as the camera pans over to the four competitors.
Justin: Introducing first, from Cincinnati, Ohio, she is the reigning and defending Bombshell Roulette Champion Kat Jones!
Simone: You mentioned Kat's first two defences earlier Jason but Krystal and Seleana are to date the only champions to retain the title in the Ultimate X Match, Seleana in 2020 and Krystal during last year's event! Will Kat join those ranks tonight?
Adams: That's a good question, and you can't deny that she's facing stiff competition in this match!
Justin: Introducing the challengers! First from Norwich, East Anglia, England "The Dreamkiller” Kayla Richards!
The crowd boos the British Bombshell and she responds with two middle fingers in the air as she keeps her eye on the prize.
Simone: I see that Kayla being as classy as ever but you can't deny her talent, she's yet to taste defeat in an SCW ring!
Adams: She defeated Levana Cade to earn this shot in a brutal Last Bombshell Standing Match, who knows what she'll do to win her first title in SCW?
Justin: From Manhattan, New York, Melissa!
Melissa grins as she is announced with her eye firmly on the prize.
Simone: Another undefeated newcomer to the Bombshell Division in Melissa! Albeit one who has had her issues with Jessie Salco as of late.
Adams: Like Kayla, Melissa defeated a Go Gym Graduate to get this opportunity, namely Ariana Angelos! She also scored a win over Mercedes in the last episode of Climax Control so she is not short of momentum!
Justin: And finally, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mercedes Vargas!
The veteran Bombshell manages to keep her focus as she steps forward, ready to wage war against the other Bombshells in the match!
Simone: Mercedes is by far the most tenured Bombshell in the match having been in SCW for over a decade by this point! She earned this spot by defeating Alicia Lukas in a match that many considered to be an upset!
Adams: She's been on a roll since that match, with Mercedes' only loss being to Melissa but she proved that she can hang with the younger Bombshells in the process!
Drew makes sure to go over to each Bombshell to explain the rules of the match, namely that it's elimination style and the winner will be the one who grabs the Roulette Title from the middle of the structure, once he's sure that all four women know the rules he calls for the bell...
DING DING DING!
... and Kayla immediately sprints over at blindsides Kat with a running dropkick to the face knocking the reigning champion down, seeing this Melissa decides to follow suit by bull rushing Mercedes but the wily veteran has anticipated this and meets the former kickboxer head on brawling with her as the action gets started.
Simone: It didn't take long for the match to break down into two mini matches with Melissa and Mercedes picking up from where they left off at the last Climax Control and Kayla blindsiding the reigning champion!
Adams: Sooner or later they'll have to start climbing the structure as that is the only way they can win! Watch out though because Kayla's trying to eliminate Kat already!
Indeed, Kayla picks up Kat by her hair and goes to throw the reigning champion into the pool, ensuring that there will be a new champion in the process, however Kat recovers from Kayla's sneak attack and elbows the Brit in the midsection before taking her over with a Snap Suplex with Kayla landing away from the pool! Across the pool we see Melissa and Mercedes continue to duke it out and figuring that her challengers are too preoccupied to notice her Kat starts climbing the structure.
Simone: Kat's going for the title already!
Adams: It's smart, the match may be elimination style but there's nothing in the rulebook that says she has to eliminate Kayla, Melissa or Mercedes first! But it appears Kat was too hasty as Kayla is giving chase!
Kayla recovers from the Suplex and chases after Kat who spots her challenger and decides to go for an unorthodox strategy of doing a tightrope walk across the top of the cables knowing that Kayla would quickly catch up with her if she goes the traditional way, Kayla still gives chase and when Kat realizes that she can't get a good grip on the titles from above them she turns to meet Kayla and the two Brunette Bombshells trade blows, until Kayla loses her footing and crotches herself on the cable!
Simone: OWWWWWWWW! Trust me folks, us women don't have the same equipment between our legs as men but taking blows down there still hurts, even more so for women as Kayla is learning the hard way!
Adams: Kayla's holding onto that cable for dear life despite the pain! She might not be the most popular Bombshell around but you have to admire her resolve! But Kat's not in a great position either even with Mercedes and Melissa brawling across the cables from her!
Kayla turns upside down on the cable but wraps her legs tightly across it to prevent her elimination, Kat nearly loses her balance herself but upon realizing that her strategy isn't going to work she changes it by charging across the cables and hitting Mercedes and Melissa with a suicide dive off the structure! Back on the cables Kayla elects to get off the structure and regroup, apparently in to much pain to even consider making a grab for the title.
Simone: Kayla had a prime opportunity to go for the title but chose to regroup after her unfortunate landing instead.
Adams: I think it was a case of that and Kayla wondering if shifting her weight to shimmy across the cables carried to high a risk of her elimination! Either way, it's any woman's game now as Melissa, Mercedes and Kat are out and Kayla's regaining her bearings.
Off the three laid out Bombshells, it's Mercedes that gets back to her feet first and after surveying the situation, decides to make a grab for the title herself, however she gets up about halfway before Kat climbs up the other side and they start trading blows with each other, this comes to an end however when Melissa and Kayla grab Kat and Mercedes by the legs respectively and powerbomb them onto conveniently vacant deckchairs! Melissa takes a moment to admire her work but Kayla's experience edge allows her to make another beeline for the title as she starts climbing the structure.
Simone: Kayla hasn't been in SCW for long but she is a veteran of the ring and Melissa had better turn her attention to fer fellow challenger if she knows what's good for her! Especially with Kat and Mercedes out for the moment.
Adams: I think she's in autopilot as she's going for a Stalling Suplex on Kat! As impressive as it is, it's only buying Kayla more time!
Whilst the fans do count how long Melissa keeps Kat up for the Suplex she quickly realizes Jason's point and drops Kat in a Front Suplex before giving chase to Kayla on a opposite cable to Kayla's! the two newcomers to the Bombshell Roulette division start trading kicks above the pool to try to eliminate the other but it's clear that Melissa's kickboxing background gives her an edge over Kayla! Realizing this Kayla changes tactics opting to use her legs to choke out Melissa and make her pass out!
Simone: That would be illegal in most matches but there's no disqualifications in this match and Kayla's taking advantage of that with that choke on Melissa.
Adams: It's a worthwhile tactic if they are the only Bombshells left in the match but Mercedes and Kat are still in the match and Kat's giving chase again!
Indeed, Kat has started climbing across the cables to try to claim her title whilst Kayla chokes out Melissa who has started kicking away at Kayla's exposed midsection to try to break the chokehold, unfortunately for Kat Mercedes decides to use the champion's previous tactics against her by tightrope walking across the cable and dropping down behind Kat! Before Kat can even realize what's happening Mercedes hits her with a reverse Hurricanrana sending her off the cables and into the pool whilst keeping a strong grip on the cables to prevent her own elimination.
Justin: Kat Jones has been eliminated!
Simone: Wow! We now have a guaranteed new Bombshell Roulette Champion with Kat's elimination!
Adams: And I think Kat's just set a new record for the earliest the reigning champ has been eliminated from the Ultimate X Matches! Either way, it's anyone's game between Kayla, Mercedes and Melissa right now!
Kat is clearly disappointed at the outcome but accepts it as she swims away from the action to go get dried off! Back above the ring Kayla realizes what has just happened and let's go off her chokehold on Melissa figuring that she's gone enough damage to the New Yorker for the time being! Kayla starts shimmying towards the middle of the cable to make a grab for the title but Mercedes meets her there and the two Bombshells start trading kicks whilst Melissa recovers.
Simone: Right now, Kayla and Mercedes are trying to eliminate each other whilst Melissa recovers from the chokehold!
Adams: With all due respect to Melissa and Kayla, I don't think anyone's hungrier for that title than Mercedes, she's had a fire lit under her as of late after all.
Melissa manages to maintain her grip on the title whilst her remaining opponents duke it out above the ring, in the end though Kayla tries the same tactic she used on Melissa by choking out Mercedes with her legs and whilst Mercedes does her best to fight out of it, she quickly loses the fight and her grip on the cable and Kayla lets go of the chokehold to let Mercedes drop to the pool below not realizing that Melissa is catching up.
Justin: Mercedes Vargas has been eliminated!
Simone: With Mercedes's elimination, we know for sure that one Bombshell will leave the cruise ship tomorrow morning with her first title in SCW!
Adams: Kayla's in a prime position to do just that but she is to busy taunting Mercedes from above the pool! Melissa is gaining ground fast!
Kayla mockingly waves goodbye to Mercedes as the veteran swims away from her even letting go off the cable with one hand to blow her a mocking kiss! However this proves costly to the Brit as Melissa catches up with her and uses the distraction to nail Kayla with a modified Shade of Black using the cables to give her kick the spinning momentum it needs, with Kayla's grip already flimsy due to her taunting blown kiss she quickly loses the grip on her other hand and goes plummeting into the water below giving Melissa the opportunity she needs to grab the title and win the match!
DING DING DING!
Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND NEEEEEEEEEEEW BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPION, MELISSA!
Simone: Melissa has won her first title in SCW in only her fourth match!
Adams: She certainly has a bright future as a wrestler! Goth must be so proud!
Melissa does a celebratory cannonball into the water once her win is confirmed and swims to the shore where her proud fiancé Goth is waiting for her! Whilst a dejected Kayla swims off to dry off they are greeted by a third figure though her congratulations is less sincere.
Simone: Jessie Salco is mockingly applauding the new champion!
Adams: They've butted heads recently so yeah, there's some bad blood there!
Jessie says nothing as she finishes her applause merely pointing to the title that Melissa just won and mouthing "good luck defending it” before walking off to let Melissa have her moment.
Backstage, a rather smug Georgie Robertson can be seen leaning against one of the bars with a rather frosty glass beside her. Not even bothering to acknowledge the camera, she smirks and begins to speak.
Georgie Robertson: You saw what I did out there yeah? I basically battered the bloody piss out of Levana Cade and didn't even blink.
The confidence of the woman knows no bounds as she sneers, a soft underlying chuckle escaping her.
Georgie Robertson: What a debut I tell ya...but I am sure that there are those that believe that it was because Levana didn't want to put up a fight against me. What utter shite. The reason that Levana lost was that she wasn't able to do anything about beating me.
Reaching over to the drink, she pulls the straw to her lips and takes a slow sip. The camera appears to be ignored and begins to pull away but Georgie holds up her finger and points to the camera.
Georgie Robertson: I didn't tell you to leave, did I? Not before I let every bird in the back know that this is a takeover...the next Brit invasion so to speak.
Georgie once more begins to ignore the camera only this time she waves the camera off as a nuisance who is beneath her time or effort.
A special helicopter has flown the ominous Hell in A Cell cage to the Cruise, and it is lowered for all to see, as Justin is actually outside the structure to do the intros.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest, is the Hell in a Cell GRUDGE MATCH!
Circle with me (SCW Edit)" By Spiritbox hits as Alicia steps out with a black hoodie over her upper half with the hood up over her long blond hair. She stands on the stage and reaches up flipping the hood back and looking down at the ring before pointing her finger guns with a smirk. She makes her way down to the ring Alicia is about to enter the cell when Diamond sprints down the aisle behind and blindsides her from behind!
Adams: And Diamond Steele has attack Alicia!
Simone: Diamond came out of nowhere!
Diamond rams Alicia into the cell wall and Alicia stumbles, but Diamond is all over her with hard blows and then Alicia is again sent into the cell wall, this time back-first and she crumbles to her knees clutching her lower back. Diamond is still right there to stomp her a few times to keep her down, before going over by the time keeper and grabbing the ring bell.
Adams: Uh oh...
Diamond measures up Alicia and nails her in the stomach with the bell, and then hard across the back. Alicia goes down clutching her back as Diamond grabs onto the cell and climbs up a short way before jumping down with a stomp. Diamond is very pleased with herself, and plays to the crowd, some cheer, and some boo.
Adams: Can't say Diamond has that many fans here.
Simone: Well, Alicia doesn't either, but there are still sections of support for both, they are both very talented athletes.
Diamond goes back over to Alicia, who fights back from her knees with some fists to the mid-section and then a headbutt to move Diamond away and regain her feet. Alicia grabs Diamond by the hair and throws her back-first into the cell wall, and the rebounds her against the barricade before Alicia begins walking Diamond back around towards the door to enter the cell. Diamond stops her with some quick, sharp elbows to the ribs. Diamond then springs onto the barricade, but Alicia just pushes her over the barrier into the front three rows!
Adams: And Diamond gets to meet her fans!
Alicia climbs over herself and retrieves Diamond before tossing her back over, and folowing suit. Alicia then whips Diamond into the cell wall again before mowing her down with a clothesline. Alicia grabs Diamond again by the hair and throws her through the door and Diamond rolls into the ring. Alicia enters herself, and shuts the door empathically.
Adams: Well, no there is no escape!
Alicia slowly walks up the steps, and enters the ring and that is when the bell sounds!
DING DING DING!
Adams: And the match is officially underway!
Simone: What action and we just started!
Alicia smirks to herself as Diamond is trying to use the ropes to get up. Alicia comes to the center of the ring as Diamond gets up and looks at her. Alicia points to the cell and motions that they are all alone and there is no escape for Diamond. Diamond sneers and comes in swinging at Alicia who ducks and starts peppering Diamond with right hands. Alicia backs Diamond into the ropes but Diamond reverses the whip. Diamond extends her arm for a clothesline, but Alicia ducks. Alicia fires off another right hand and then a swift boot and a DDT! Alicia kips up to her own personal amusement and to the appreciation of some member of the crowd.
Adams: Again, there's fans on both sides here.
Alicia seems to be in full swagger mode as Diamond is able to pull herself up in the corner. Alicia unleashes a chop drawing a large echo from the exposed flesh of Diamond. Alicia then delivers a series of stiff kicks in the corner, dropping Diamond to slump in the corner and Alicia uses her boot to choke Diamond as well. Referee Jacob implores Alicia to break, but Alicia just shrugs and continues to choke Diamond, until Diamond fires a desperation kick to the inside of the leg of Alicia that forces her to take a few steps back, allowing Diamond to get some much-needed oxygen.
Adams: Alicia looks to be getting into her groove now.
Simone: And that's bad news for Diamond.
Diamond rolls out and too the floor, trying to catch her breath. Alicia takes a moment to recover before she rolls outside and pushes Diamond into the post from behind. Alicia has a cocky grin on her face, and grabs Diamond by the hair again and slams her face into the apron. Diamond on instinct tries to roll into the ring, but Alicia won't let her get away and grabs her to pulls her back out. Diamond tries kicking away, but Alicia's grip is too strong and she starts pulling Diamond back out. Diamond however kicks back with all her might and sends Alicia into the cell wall! Alicia clutches the back of her head and she slumps down and Diamond continues to create some distance so she can regain her wind.
Adams: Diamond is hanging in here.
Simone: But she needs to mount some sustained offense. Alicia is very, very hard to stop when she's on a roll.
Alicia still holds the back of her head as she slowly gets to her feet, but as soon as she does, she catches two boots to the face from Diamond on a baseball slide. Alicia again goes down on the outside and Diamond scoots out onto the apron, and motions for Alicia to stand, and when she does, Diamond flies off with a cross-body on the floor!
Adams: Diamond with a nice cross-body, both women hit hard on the floor.
Diamond stands up, using the cell to steady herself and she stomps down on Alicia before grabbing a handful of Alicia's hair and trying to ram her face into the cell, but Alicia is too strong and blocks. Alicia shoots a couple of elbows into Diamond's stomach, which forces her away. Alicia spins Diamond around and scoops her up onto her shoulder. Alicia has visions of running Diamond into the cage, but Diamond is able to slip off the back of Alicia and push her into the cell wall, but Alicia stops herself. Diamond turns away, but when she turns back and sees Alicia, Alicia hits a spinning kick to the mid-section and then a snap suplex on the hard floor.
Adams: That could not have felt good.
Simone: It didn't sound good either.
Alicia stands up and pulls Diamond to her feet and rolls her back into the ring and follows suit. Diamond is able to get up in the corner, only to have Alicia trap her in the corner, delivers STIFF Muay Thai knees to the ribs and mid-section of Diamond, again causing her to slump in the corner. Alicia backs up and delivers a stiff kick to the ribs and shoulder of Diamond. Alicia then exits the ring, and grabs the leg arm and leg of Diamond, stretching the limbs out on either side of the post, and then ramming Diamond's ribs into the post itself. Alica smiles, seeming enjoying the pain she's causing.
Adams: Alicia can be as sadistic as they come.
Alicia grabs Diamond's head and neck and sets her up, draping her head and neck over the apron, before driving an elbow to the head to Diamond, who rolls away in pain. Alicia slides into the ring, as Diamond groans in pain on the mat. Diamond slowly, and with much difficulty, get to her feet, and Alicia sneaks up behind her and wraps her arms up in a waist lock. She lifts Diamond for a German suplex, but Diamond fires off wild elbows to counter, and one catches Alicia in the head. Alicia releases her grip, and Diamond grabs the top rope. Alicia moves back in again, trying for the German suplex again, but Diamond has a death grip on the top rope. She again throws a wild elbow that catches Alicia. Diamond then hooks Alicia's head, runs up the ropes and swings, landing a huge tornado DDT! Diamond slowly is able to make the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Alicia kicks out!
Adams: And Diamond is still in this.
Simone: Alicia got caught, and now Diamond is back in this match-up.
Diamond uses the time she bought to collect herself as she uses the ropes to get up as Alicia rolls to her stomach holding her head. Diamond walks over and begins kicking Alicia and stomping on her and forces her to roll to the apron. Diamond backs up, motioning again for Alicia to stand up. Alicia gets up on the apron and Diamond hits a springboard dropkick that sends Alicia hard off the apron, bouncing off the cell wall and to the floor below.
Adams: Diamond just keeps coming!
Diamond then slowly gets up and heads outside, and grabs Alicia and begins GRINDING her face against the cell!
Adams: And now Diamond is in full control.
Simone: She's trying to hurt Alicia just as much as Alicia has tried to hurt her.
Alicia's yells in pain cause Diamond to smirk, and then scoff as she punches Alicia in the head, and then rams her back-first against the ring apron as well. Diamond rolls into the ring and takes a moment to collect herself as Alicia slowly gets back up on the apron, checking herself for blood, and thankfully not having any one her head. Diamond waits and charges, but Alicia spots it and counters with a slingshot spear!
Adams: Spear!
Alicia and Diamond are both down but Alicia is slowly able to get to her feet first. She signals she's finally done and calls for the Georgia Drop.
Simone: This could be it!
Alicia pulls Diamond up and lifts her onto her shoulders. Diamond begins frantically elbowing Alicia and squirming and their momentum takes them towards the ropes and Diamond is able to get off Alicia's shoulders and land on the apron. Alicia however is able to get the Muay Thai plumb and shoot rapid-fire knees into Diamond's mid-section. Alicia then hooks Diamond, looking to suplex her back into the ring, but Diamond twists in mid-air, turning and hooking Alicia's head before turning it into a Diamond Cutter!
Adams: DIAMOND CUTTER!
Simone: Alicia never saw it coming!
Diamond scrambles into the cover hooking both legs!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner..... Diamond Steele!
Adams: And Diamond Steele Somehow pulls it off! She has defeated Alicia Lukas!
Diamond slowly rolls off and holds a hand in the air but she is hurting. The other gemstones come down and get into the ring and collect Diamond, who is in a lot of pain as they help her to the back as Jacob checks on Alicia who is coming around.
Sam steps into view, her hair damp and dressed in a red silk dress and black boots. She looks into the camera and smiles confidently as she speaks in her soft southern drawl.
Sam Marlowe: I hate to be the one that told you so Bea so I won't say it. You did try your hardest but you came up a little short in our match and once I beat you, I am fixin' to forget this little feud you and I have had. See, I have exorcised the demon that is Bea Barnhart. My conscience is clear now and it is also focusing on where I am goin' from here.
Sam Marlowe: I know that I haven't quite had the best of records lately and trust me when I tell y'all that I know that I shouldn't be talkin' championships but I have to say that now that I am back to my winning ways, first question I asked myself was 'am I ready to challenge for a title and the short answer is yes. But which title is still up for grabs...
Sam puts a finger against the tip of her nose as she appears to be contemplating which.
Sam Marlowe: Maybe I go after the belt I know the best...the Bombshell Roulette title. But there is also the Bombshell World title too and I have worn that one a time or two. Maybe I should put my focus on the title belt that has so far alluded me. Yeah, I am talkin' about the Bombshell Internet title. I think that is the next goal that I am gonna set myself. So be prepared for it because I ain't one to hide behind a will she or won't she kind of mask.
With that, Sam moves along the corridor towards her husband who is waiting for the bombshell to complete her promo.

For the most violent event of the year...!
Justin: Our next match is for the Internet Championship. The winner will be determined by pinfall, submission, or the inability of one of the wrestlers to continue in the match. First to make his way to the ring, hailing from New York City and standing in at six feet four inches and two hundred thirty-nine pounds, please give a great welcome to the man known as The Gothic One. . .GOTH!!!
Justin's words fade and we hear the Church bells clang before the guitar riff of Unsainted by Slipknot starts playing along with the choir singing. The music builds up to where Corey Taylor can be heard. The name Goth emerges upon the giant Tron screen but Goth only walks out after Corey Taylor can be heard screaming the words: "I'm finally holding on to letting go!!” as pyros erupt on the side of the entrance stage. Goth stares at the crowd as Melissa emerges behind him. Goth lifts his head upwards to the ceiling while extending his arms, and a smirk emerges upon his face as he listens to the mixed reaction from the crowd. After a few seconds he looks ahead of him towards the ring walking slowly totally ignoring the fans who are trying to touch him as he walks to the steel ring steps. He gets on the ring apron before opening up the top and middle ring rope for Melissa as she steps through them. He then steps in the ring and waits for Jack Washington to make his appearance as his music slowly fades while Melissa takes a seat at ringside.
Adams: This is going to be an interesting match. Goth seems to continue to want to earn the Internet Championship which has been elusive to him. Now he faces Jack Washington who has proven to be a great Internet Champion. I see another disappointment in Goth's future when he loses to Jack Washington.
Simone: You know what Jason? I need to have someone perform a drug test on your drinks you bring to our announcer table. Apparently you are hallucinating on something in your drinks. Goth is coming into this match with the intent to win and earn the Internet Championship and I don't have any doubt he will accomplish that.
Justin: Next to make his way to the ring, hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and standing in at six feet one inch and two hundred thirty-five pounds, he is the current Sin City Wrestling Internet Champion having earned the Championship March 20, 2022, please give a great welcome to JACK WASHINGTON!!!
"Wasted" hits the speakers and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain and walks onto the landing with a look of focus and indifference on his face. With the Internet Championship proudly strapped around his waist Jack shows very little emotion as he walks to the ring even though the majority of the fans are giving him a positive reaction. When he arrives at the ring he stops and looks up at Goth in the ring and he motions to Goth by waving his hands over the Internet Championship Belt around his waist. Goth does the same motion in return to indicate he plans on earning the Internet Championship to place around his waist. Jack laughs off Goth's gesture then he climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, then he steps into the ring. Jack then rebounds off the ropes then stops and uses the ropes to stretch and then he leans back in a corner to await the start of the match.
Adams: Now there's a wrestler who is positive, confident of his abilities, and ready to take on the challenge of Goth. I don't see any way for Goth to overcome Jack Washington.
Simone: There's a lot you cannot see when you have clouded vision.
Adams: Also I wanted to mention both wrestlers are similar in height and weight with Goth carrying a three inch height advantage and four pounds of weight over Jack Washington. As we all saw the height and weight advantage didn't help Goth in a previous match against Jack Washington.
Simone: Jason you are one of the few people I know who can take black and white and try to tell us the colors are blue and yellow. Geez!
Referee Dawn Barnes calls Jack and Goth to join her in the center of the ring. She asks Washington to remove the Internet Championship Belt and hand it to her to keep it until the match is over. As Jack removes the Internet Championship Goth reaches out and grabs onto the belt which causes Washington to pull it back from him. Jack raises his index finger in the face of Goth and waves it back and forth while also shaking his head left and right to give Goth the notification he cannot have the Internet Championship Belt. Goth retaliates by making a motion around his waist with his hands to indicate he is going to earn the Internet Championship from Jack. Referee Barnes reprimands both wrestlers and tells them to pay attention to the match and not to get petty over the Title Belt. Referee Dawn Barnes then checks both wrestlers to ensure they are clean of foreign objects and substances. When she is satisfied both wrestlers are clean of stuff she orders them back to their corners and tells them to come out fighting when they hear the bell from the Timekeeper. Referee Barnes walks to the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located and she hands them the Internet Championship. When Referee Barnes sees that Goth and Jack are in their corners ready to go she gives the Timekeeper the nod to ring the bell to officially start the match.
DING DING DING!
This match is officially underway! Goth quickly crosses the ring to confront Jack. The two get into an argument and then a shoving match occurs with Goth shoving Jack in the chest and Jack retaliating by shoving Goth in the chest. This goes on, back and forth, for a short time, then Washington tells Referee Barnes that someone is on the other side of the ring trying to get involved in the match. Referee Dawn Barnes turns around to see who might be trying to interfere in the match and that gives Jack the opportunity to attempt a low blow on Goth but Goth blocks it and he grasps and hand and wrist of Jack Washington and he twists it at an uncomfortable angle causing Jack to drop to his knees. Referee Barnes turns around and sees the action so she walks over and, seeing the pain Washington is enduring she asks him if he wishes to submit and he yells HELL NO at her so the match continues.
Simone: There you go Jason. First action of this match and we see Jack Washington trying his tricks to get the Referee distracted then he attempted to low blow Goth again like what happened in a previous match. The difference is this time he was blocked and now Goth has the upper hand.
Adams: A wrist lock isn't going to win a match this early in the action.
Jack Washington ties himself up in the ropes causing Referee Dawn Barnes to step in and order Goth to release the hold and he does so. Goth takes a few steps back to wait for Jack to come out of the ropes. When Washington is satisfied that Goth is far enough away he comes out of the ropes. In a flash Goth leaps up and goes for a kick to the head of Jack but Washington blocks the attempted kick, grabbing the leg of Goth, and twisting the leg causing Goth to drop hard to the mat. Jack then stomps on the knee and ankle of Goth then he goes for a Figure-Four Leg lock. He has the hold locked in and Goth is maneuvering to get out of the hold. Referee Barnes steps in to ask Goth if he wished to submit and he tells her he will never submit in this match so the match continues.
Adams: Looks like this is an early end of Goth in this match.
Simone: Wishful thinking Jason.
Goth sits up enough to maneuver and he manages to put enough pressure on the Figure-Four Leg lock to be able to reverse it on Washington. Once the hold has been reversed we see Jack Washington struggle and that causes the hold to be broken. Both wrestlers remain on the mat and both are moving their legs and massaging them to get mobility back. Goth is the first to get to his feet and he stomps on the knees of Washington several times. Jack rolls out of the way of pending kicks and he manages to get to the outside of the ring. This causes Referee Dawn Barnes to order Goth to remain inside the ring while she starts a count on Washington on the outside of the ring.
Adams: That's what you call good ring awareness. Jack was getting his knees stomped but he realized he was close to the ropes and got outside of the ring to put a stop to Goth.
Simone: The good thing for Jack Washington, right now anyway, is that Goth has been ordered to remain inside the ring while Referee Barnes makes the count on Jack Washington. Goth isn't a fool to rush in and cause the Referee's count to stop.
ONE!
Jack Washington remains outside of the ring and he keeps his eyes on Goth.
TWO!
Washington starts to walk around the outside of the ring. When he passes the table where Jason Adams and Belinda Simone are located he looks over and gives a thumbs up to Jason who returns the thumbs up. Belinda Simone rolls her eyes at the gestures.
THREE!
Goth is impatient as the slow count of Referee Barnes so he walks up to her and demands she make a quicker count. Referee Barnes stops her count to confront Goth to inform him that SHE is in charge of officiating the match and not him. She gives him a warning then she continues her count on Washington.
ONE!
Goth hears the ONE count from Referee Barnes and he runs up to her and demands to know why she stopped her count at three then started it over again at one. She replies to Goth that since he tried to interfere with her officiating of the match she decided to start the count on Jack Washington over. While Goth continues to be in the face of Referee Barnes of her decision he is unaware that Jack Washington has gotten to the other side of the ring and he is up on the ring apron then climbs up on top of the corner ropes. Goth, realizing he isn't getting anywhere arguing with Referee Barnes turns around to see where Washington might be located. The instant Goth faces the corner where Jack is located we watch as Washington leaps off the top ropes delivering a vicious drop kick to the upper body of Goth. This drives Goth backward to the mat where it appears the back of his head slammed into the mat. As Goth is on his back on the mat Jack Washington quickly mounts the corner ropes again and dives off delivering a elbow drop on Goth. Jack goes for the pin and Referee Barnes gets in position and checks the shoulders of Goth to ensure they are on the mat. Satisfied that his shoulders are on the mat she begins her count.
Adams: This should be it.
ONE!
TWO!
T...
Everyone is surprised when Goth gets a shoulder up, before Referee Barnes can bring her hand down, stopping the Referee's count at two. Referee Barnes raises two fingers into the air to show it was only a two count. Jack Washington is livid as he pounds his fists into the mat and then he confronts Referee Barnes for being slow to start the count on the pinfall.
Simone: I told you not to count on anything until the final decision is made.
Adams: Noooooo!
While Washington continues to argue with Referee Barnes we see Goth stirring. He looks over to see Jack arguing with the Referee so he slides up behind Washington and he reaches up and pulls Jack backward rolling him up for a pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
Adams: Washington not happy with what Goth just did but in the sport of wrestling you can't allow yourself to get distracted even for a split-second.
Simone: Sounds like you are coming to my line of reasoning.
Jack is up and going off on Goth as the two are trading punches. Referee Barnes steps in to warn the two of closed fist punches but they don't stop so the Referee decides to let the two go at it. Goth grabs Jack by the arm and whips him into the rope where he catches him with a drop kick. Jack gets up and Goth again grabs Washington by his arm but when he goes to whip Jack into the ropes Washington reverses it and whips Goth into the ropes then he catches Goth on the rebound by sliding toward him and sweeping his legs out from under him.
Adams: These two are ramping it up for the finish.
Simone: I believe you meant to say these two are ramping it up for Jack Washington to win the match.
Jack stomps on Goth's head a few times before Goth is able to get up to his knees. When Washington approaches him Goth lunges at Jack and hits him in the stomach with a head butt. Goth stands up and when Jack lunges at him Goth punches him a few times then he executes a Swinging Neckbreaker on Washington for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Again Jack Washington was able to get a shoulder up before the Referee could deliver the three count.

y.Goth gets to his feet and he is not happy. He goes to Referee Dawn Barnes and asks why she is making a slow pinfall count and she replies she has to ensure the shoulders are on the mat before starting a count on an attempted pin. Goth replies that she should speed things up and Referee Barnes tells Goth he needs to get back into the action of this match. While these two have a discussion Jack Washington is standing back waiting for Goth to turn around and when Goth turns around Jack lands a kick to the midsection of Goth that doubles him over. Jack Washington is quick to execute his ALL JACKED UP Fisherman's Buster but the veteran Goth shifts his weight to drop down behind Jack -- AND HE LOCKS ON THE GOTHIC DREAM!!
Simone: Gothic Dream! He has it locked on tight!
Adams: Jack knows he's in trouble! He's fighting it!
Indeed Jack is struggling like mad and flaying his arms, reaching for the ropes! But before the champion can grab hold, Goth takes him to the mat in the hold and wraps his legs around him, keeping him right where he is!
Adams: There's nowhere for Jack to go now!
Jack's struggles slow down until they cease completely! His eyes start to close and Dawn checks him hand as he fades completely ... and she gets to her feet and motions to the Timekeeper to ring the bell to end the match!
DING DING DING!
There is a mixed reaction from the crowd as Dawn calls for the belt!
Simone: Did he.. he did! Goth put him out! We have a brand new Internet Champion!
Adams: Jack Washington's reign as Internet Champion is over and Goth's begins!
Dawn Barnes takes the Internet Championship belt in hand and presents it to Goth, raising his arm in victory!
Justin: Here is your winner -- and NEWWWW Internet Champion -- GOTH!!!
Goth raises the Internet belt high over his head in celebration as a groggy Jack slowly comes to, waiting for the realization that his prized Internet Championship is now in the possession of another man!

Justin: The following contest is the co-main event and it iks champion versus champion, title versus title!
The arena is plunged into darkness. A single spotlight illuminates the entranceway, as the choral refrain asks, "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" Stepping into the brightness, Masque drops to her knees and with a head tipped upwards, stares into the rafters - arms held outwards. After a few seconds she brings her gloved palms together in an apparent moment of prayer.
Climbing back to her feet, Masque interlocks her fingers and makes her languid way down the ramp, hands pressed together against her chest. Periodically, she stops in front of a gesticulating, whooping member of the audience and offers them her hand. Some shrink back, others grasp it with theirs. All quieten as she turns her eyes on them.
Pausing at the ring steps, she drops to one knee and touches a hand from her heart onto the metalwork, running fingers against scuffed steel. Once she climbs onto the apron Masque raises a long leg up, hovers it just above the top rope and rolls through; using momentum to spin her entire body over and inside in a single fluid twirl. She lands sitting on the mat, hands clasped together again and looking up at the lights.
Justin: Introducing first, the SCW Bombshells Internet Champion... MASQUE DE LUNE!!!
The opening keyboard notes of "The Touch” begin on the PA system. Stan Bush's voice rings out and soon the power chords kick in to begin the song. The cameras pan around the arena, and soon, spotted in amongst the fans, is Roxi Johnson slowly making her way through them, slapping the fans five and getting patted on the shoulders as he moves through the swarm of fans. The fans continuing singing with the song as Roxi continues her journey through them, stopping and singing along with them. She treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before she is lifted on top of the fans and they crowd surf her towards the ring, imitating a superhero "flying” motion. She makes it and lands on her feet on the arena floor to which she high fives the closest fan before climbing up on the apron 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, and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.
Justin: And her opponent, the SCW Bombshells World Champion... ROXI JOHNSON!!!
DING DING DING!
The assembled masses watching on start buzzing as the two combatants circle each other, Roxi looking every inch the superhero while Masque almost glides like she's somehow floating on the air. The two move in and lock-up in a traditional collar and elbow tie-up. The two jockey for position with Masque looking to use her superior leverage and Roxi looking to show the will that has made her an icon of SCW. Masque spins into a right strike that puts Roxi on her haunches, recoiling from the impact. Roxi takes a second to recover her senses and then jumps into a Superman punch. Masque is staggered from the impact and Roxi jumps up into a beautiful, high-arching dropkick that puts Masque down. The crowd loses its mind as Roxi goes to the ropes, steps out and slingshots herself into a legdrop. She covers.
ONE!
TWO!
MASQUE KICKS OUT!
Roxi pulls Masque up and looks for a running, springboard dropkick. She goe to the ropes, jumps up, springboards back and Masque effortlessly dodges allowing Roxi to crash to the mat. Roxi grimaces in pain from the crash landing and staggers up. Masque hops and starts spinning into a flurry of repeated strikes. Again and again, Masque spins around and one of her limbs makes full contact with Roxi knocking her back another step with each impact. Masque dances her back to the corner and spins into a kick to the gut. Masque steps in for a Russian leg sweep that violently smashes Roxi into the turnbuckles. Roxi clutches at her head and lands on the mat. Masque pulls her away from the corner hand covers.
ONE!
TWO!
ROXI KICKS OUT!
Adams: My God that was a nasty landing for Roxi!
Simone: Given what we've seen from Masque before, no one should be surprised that she's found a way to rough up Roxi. If Roxi is going to be the hero everybody wants her to be tonight, she's going to need to find a way to endure what Masque can do and come out the other side even stronger than she usually is!
Adams: Can she do that?
Simone: I'm not going to says he can't because she's the Bombshells World Champion for a reason but once Masque gets going, no one has come back from it yet and I can't tell you what it will take to make that change.
Masque mounts Roxi and starts to pound her with rights and lefts, almost making each swinging strike look like one graceful motion of her body. Looking somewhere between a bird and a pendulum ride in near perpetual motion. She draws blood and then covers Roxi again.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!
ROXI GETS A SHOULDER UP!
The crowd explodes at the sight of their hero showing signs of life despite the repeated blows from the sadistic Internet Champion. Masque steps back and waits for Roxi to sit up. As Roxi starts to move up, Masque comes for a shining wizard. Roxi galls back out of the way and Masque flies by her into the turnbuckles, smashing herself hard. As she rebounds back from the impact, Roxi rolls her up.
ONE!
TWO!
MASQUE KICKS OUT!
Adams: Masque almost just crashed herself right out of this match!
Simone: But Roxi still needs more, especially now that Masque has proven she can make the superhero bleed. It's like has been said by many a supervillain over the years, if you can make God bleed, people start to think less of him.
Adams: How will this affect Roxi now that Masque is looking every inch the doomsday that some have predicted her to be?
Simone: That will be the question moving forward here? Can Roxi make the comeback or will Masque show you she really is the devil everyone thinks she is?
Both get to their feet and Roxi looks for a punch only to be cut off by a spinning backfist from Masque. Roxi wobbles and Masque jumps into a big knee strike. Roxi falls to one knee and Masque grabs her with both hands for vicious Muay Thai knees. She hits Roxi once, twice, three times. Masque delivers a fourth and then spins into an elbow to the neck. Roxi collapses to the mat. Masque nods and covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
NO!
ROXI ROLLS A SHOULDER UP AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!
Masque gets up and goes to the ropes, jumping up for a springboard elbow. Roxi rolls over and Masque crashes to the mat. The crowd starts chanting, urging her on.
Crowd: ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!! ROXI!!!
Roxi grabs at the ropes in front of her and starts pulling herself up to her feet. Masque staggers up behind her. Roxi jumps up onto the ropes and springboards into a tornado ddt. She holds for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
MASQUE KICKS OUT!
Roxi jumps up and goes to the corner, climbing to the top turnbuckle. Masque staggers up and Roxi jumps off for the missile dropkick. Masque goes down and Roxi runs in rolling thunder. Roxi covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!
MASQUE KICKS OUT!
Roxi goes to the corner again and starts to climb up, sitting on the second turnbuckle then moving up to the top, still standing on the second rope. Masque stands and Roxi jumps off, looking for a tornado ddt again. Masque reverses her into a bridging northern lights suplex.
ONE!
TWO!
ROXI KICKS OUT!
Both get to their feet and Roxi gets in a knee to the gut. Masque doubles over and Roxi grabs her for some Muay Thai knees. She drills masque again and again, bringing her knees up like each one needs to kno0ck her opponent clean into the Phantom Zone. Masque falls to one knee and Roxi pulls her back up to give her another one that puts Masque flat on her back with a loud smacking sound. Roxi mounts Masque and starts delivering strikes just like Masque did earlier. Roxi hits again and again until red appears from under the face covering. Roxi covers.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
NO!
MASQUE JUST BARELY GETS A SHOULDER ROLLED AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! Adams: My God! The mask... it's cracked! And... is that... blood?
Simone: What did I tell you earlier about making God bleed? It works for the Devil too and now Roxi has gotten bleed from a stone here!
Adams: Now they've both drawn blood...
Simone: Who has more to give?
Roxi rolls off the cover in shock, her hands flying up to her hair, eyes wide in disbelief. Masque rolls over the other way, reaching for the ropes to pull herself back to a vertical base. Roxi slowly stands up, turning to find Masque making it to her feet as well. The two battered and beaten combatants shuffle forward, each looking like it's everything they have to marshall the effort to move at all. The two come together and the crowd starts to buzz again at the sight of the two bloody Champions staring into the abyss that is the other as the obstacle before them. Masque punches Roxi. Roxi almost falls and then fires back. Masque almost falls and then returns fire. They start trading punches, the crowd cheering ever more wildly with every shot, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi. Bloody, sweat, spit and tears go flying with every shot and yet still, they both press on, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi, Masque, Roxi. Masque gives Roxi a headbutt. Roxi's knees buckle and she sways, seemingly ready to crumble to the mat. Roxi gives Masque a nasty elbow strike. Masque flails and almost goes down but somehow remains upright. Masque gives a bionic elbow. Roxi spins away from the impact and hits a spinkick to the gut. The two both start throwing wild punches, connecting with each other in a feeding frenzy of fury that makes the crowd start willing on their frenetic attack. They both stop, seemingly running out of gas simultaneously. They both look up, each sucking wind like they never have before and then start firing another wild barrage. The two hammer away until blood is seemingly covering both of their respective attire and then both go for a kick, Roxi looking for a roundhouse heel kick while Masque goes for the Terrorfex. Both connect at the same time, both go limp on contact. Masque tumbles to the mat, Roxi landing on top.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Adams: They're... both... out!
Simone: And by the grace of... something... Roxi landed on top...
Justin: Your winner and NEEEEEEEEEW Bombshell Internet champion..... Roxi Johnson!
Adams: Roxi's done it....
Simone: I don't think she has any idea... and neither does Masque.
The camera is right down on the front deck of the Sun Princess cruise where the stage has been transformed into a glorious stage for the upcoming Battle of the Bands. Microphones. A drum set. Keyboards and guitars all set up in wait for one of the most hotly anticipated events of the evening where wrestling was not concerned.
Simone: Fans, only moments away the stakes could not be higher for the pride of SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood as we are gearing toward the Battle of the Bands!
Adams: Diamond and the Gemstones have been saying forEVER that THEY are the greatest female led band since - well, ever! And they started interrupting the opening ceremonies for SCW, wanting the spotlight for themselves!
Simone: Which has brought us here, tonight and right now! Christian has gambled with Diamond Steele herself, stating that if the Gemstones could outperform the band of HIS choice, then the Gemstones would become the brand new opening act for SCW from here on out!
Adams: And nobody knows YET who the Gemstones are up against!
Simone: And that still has done nothing to deter the confidence of Diamond or her bandmates. Furthermore... well...! Look who's here!
As out comes none other than the Co-Owners of SCW itself, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward and Christian Underwood! The two bosses walk out ad take their seats front and center in front of the stage as the Gemstones emerge from the back to a symphony of jeers...
Simone: I guess Mark and Christian want to have a close up view of tonight's festivities.
Adams: I can't help but wonder what Mark thinks about Christian's bet with Diamond and the Gemstones...?
We are able to see Diamond Steele and she is joined by her cousin Ruby Steele, Sapphire Taylor, and Emerald McAdams. They walk onto the stage that is set up and Diamond has a wicked grin on her lips as she leans towards a microphone stand. Ruby puts on her Bass Guitar, Sapphire puts on her Electric Guitar and Emerald sits behind the drums. Diamond can't help but crack a grin as she snatches the microphone and paces around.
Diamond: Bloody hell it seems like we are going to witness the best part of the night because as of right now you are going to deal with the Battle of the Bands!!!!
Ruby: And I have a feeling that our performance is going to be OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Diamond smiles as Sapphire breaks out into a solo on her electric guitar and Emerald bangs away on her drum set. Diamond moves her hands through her hair as she speaks some more.
Diamond: Anyway Christian Underwood had some nerve when he wanted me to come out here for a Battle of the Bands but guess what if the Gem Stones are going to do something we are going to do it completely big. So for the first time ever you are going to see ALL 6 members of the band at the same time on stage.
Ruby: Six?! That's totally OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Diamond: Of course it is and I know Christian wasn't expecting it. So let me introduce you all to Jenni Taylor, she is the oldest member of the group and serves as our other Electric guitarist. She is the other half sister of Sapphire, ladies and gentlemen Garnet Taylor!!!!
Garnet runs onto the stage and she begins to strum away at her Les Paul. The crowd actually seems to be behind her playing and Diamond grins in return.
Diamond: And also joining us on the stage is a woman who is no stranger to making Christian's life a living hell. Things may not have gone all that well for her but tonight after adding further injury to Chloe's concussion with that vicious ddt on that chair. I give to you the owner of the label Rose Records. The best actress in all of the world, and someone I personally look up to. Ladies and gentlemen she is the Burning Rose and will be on the keyboard Crystal Zdunich!!!
The blue haired jezebel runs onto the stage to the sound of loud boos. The boos are actually overwhelming and Crystal just smirks as she stands behind the keyboard.
Crystal: You are only booing because you hate the fact that you can't be me... Don't tell me that you feel that bad over what I did to some shitty ass wrestler who couldn't do anything.
Crowd: "YOU TAPPED OUT!
YOU TAPPED OUT!
YOU TAPPED OUT!”
Crystal: SHUT THE $%^& UP! If you had a sexy ass model of a woman on top of you which none of you DON'T you would probably tap out too because you couldn't handle a real woman. Not that it matters because none of you are me. Now tonight it's about shining bright as a Gem and making Christian choke on a... Well he does that already.
Diamond: The Gem Stones are in full force and tonight we are going to blow the speakers out on this boat. We are the best female band in the entire world and I am sure whoever Christian gets won't measure up to us. Tonight we are going to have a very special rendition of a song that pretty much showcases Christian's chance of winning this entire thing. Seeing as I was already in the ring with a certain Georgia Belle let the Gem Stones present to all of you the Devil Went Down To Georgia the Gem Stone mix!!!!!
Ruby: 1...2...3...4....
As soon as she counts to four all of them begin to jam out. Diamond takes off her clothes showcasing something different. She is in a Diamond t shirt along with Diamond stud shorts. She flicks her hair about as she begins to speak.
Ruby: Christian Underwood went down to the Sun Princess, he was looking for attention to steal
He was stuck behind the Gem Stone Line because those girls are so fine!
And he didn't know how to feel
When he came across this young woman strumming ' on a guitar and playin' it hot
And Christian jumped up on Scotty's Hump
And said, "Girl, let me tell you what
Crystal: I guess you didn't know it but I'm a guitar player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good guitar, girl
But give the Underwood his due
I'll bet a Bombshell Title Shot of gold against your musical soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
The band begins to play as Diamond screams into the microphone trying to get the crowd involved.
Diamond: The girl said, "my name's Kath-Lyn and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best guitarist there's ever been
Garnet: Diamond, rosin up your pick and play your guitar hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose on the Sun Princess, and the Underwood deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny Bombshell Shot of gold
But if you lose, the Gem Stones disband and they all GOOOOO
Sapphire: Christian opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
And some no name band didn't bother to SHOW
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a weak hiss
Then a band of pink flamingoes joined in
And it sounded something like this
At that point Sapphire and Garnet break out into the Devil solo. It sounds good, hell better than good. A cosplayer gets on stage dressed like Christian Underwood and gets in Diamond's with a guitar mimicking strumming on the guitar. Diamond nods her head giving a faux clap as a wicked grin on her face.
Diamond: When the Underwood finished, I smiled and said, "well, you're pretty good, that had a nice TONE
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you what it means to be a GEM STONE!!!
Diamond is handed a guitar and once it is in her hands she breaks out into a sick solo. The Taylor sisters and the three of them do an amazing performance with three solos at the same time. The crowd goes crazy as Diamond cracks a grin.
Diamond: Christian bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden opportunity on the ground at Diamond's feet
Diamond said, "Christian, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch, The Gem Stones are the best BAND THAT HAS EVER BEEN!
The band breaks out into some amazing music. The crowd loves every minute of it. Diamond puts her guitar as she jumps right into the crowd and surfs them. She raises the microphone to her lips.
Diamond: We are the Gem Stones and tonight we rocked out without a care in the world! Let's see how Christian could top that!!!!
Despite their 'heel' status, the Gemstones are greeted with applause from the SCW Universe, as the band members smile as if they had just swept the Grammys of every award. They wave to the crowd before Diamond turns back to the bosses with each band member with smug and expectant smiles on their faces.
Adams: Hate to say it but that ... was pretty damn good!
Simone: Diamond is both a talented wrestler and yes...a talented musician. But who on earth are they up against???
The Gemstones remain on the stage, staring down where the bosses are seated front and center. Mark Ward raises an eyebrow as he turns his head to his business partner who simply jets out a bottom lip and shrugs his shoulders. But Christian holds a closed hand over his mouth and yawns, feigning boredom and indifference.
Diamond: Well...!?
The camera pans the ship as the fans look around, waiting but still... nothing. Diamond stamps her foot, growing restless.
Diamond: Come ON! We don't have all night! If you want to throw in the towel, than just say so instead of wasting our-
But Christian holds up a hand, stalling whatever else Diamond is about to say mid-rant. He then holds up a forefinger and points up... directing her and everyone else's attention elsewhere. To this, Mark sits back in his chair with a relaxed smile and heads turn and the beat of a familiar hit song begins playing live...
Adams: Wait a minute... that song... it sounds familiar...!
Simone: It-it can't be...!
The camera catches on the uppermost top deck of the Sun Princess, illuminated by both the stars and the ships spotlight, the host of Summer XXXTreme X himself - Griffin Hawkins, guitar in hand, engaging in his art and playing the introduction of the opposing song! And with him -- SCU's own Alex Rush! Near him were other band members in the wide, open space of the deck including a very familiar, older blonde...
Simone: Wait... Nancy Wilson...!?
Adams: No... no bloody way!
And out steps none other than Nancy's sister, Ann Wilson! Lead singer of the legendary duo...!
Adams: OHMYGOD!!! Heart!! Heart is who the Gemstones are up against!!
Heart: It was a rainy night when
He came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella,
No coat
So I pulled up along side and
I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile
So we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name,
This lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right,
Is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong
Just stay for the night
Diamond storms off the stage to confront the bosses!
Diamond: This isn't fair! You cant bring in professionals!
Hot Stuff: We can and we DID!
Diamond spins around and looks up in horror as the epic Heart performs their top hit!
Heart: All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
So we found this hotel,
It was a place I knew well
We made magic that night.
Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me,
So many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke
All I left him was a note
I told him
"I am the flower you are the seed"
We walked in the garden
We planted a tree
Don't try to find me,
Please don't you dare
Just live in my memory,
You'll always be there
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love
Diamond looks up at where griffin is performing and shrieks...!
Diamond: What are you DOING!? I'm the guitarist in YOUR band!!!
But the protests are drowned out and fall upon deaf ears as Christian turns to Mark.
Christian: Opportunity to perform with a band like Heart doesn't come along every day!
Mark nods and turns back to enjoy the show.
Heart: Then it happened one day,
We came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise
When he saw his own eyes
I said "please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me, how-oh
Was the one little thing that you can"
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
The performance from Heart comes to its conclusion and the end result is all but predetermined as the crowd goes absolutely NUTS! The SCW Universe - staff and fans alike- as a whole stands and cheers for the legendary sister duo! Alex Rush draped an arm around the shoulder of Nancy as Griffin shares a comforting embrace with Ann herself before she gives him a peck on the cheek as fireworks explode overhead in the night sky!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! Suffice to say! The winners of the 2022 Battle of the Bands is -- HEART!!!
The crowd cheers as Ann and Nancy smile and wave from where they stand with Griffin, Alex and their bandmates!
Simone: As if there was ever any doubt!
Adams: The ONLY way that we are going to be able to follow up a performance like that is with the Main Event!
And from behind a fuming Diamond and the Gemstones, Christian raises a glass in salute and up above, Griffin winks and gives a thumbs up in return!
The camera cuts to the ship's railing and the stiff breeze blows his hair. He is dressed for war, with jeans, a sleeveless shirt and hand wraps already in place. He wears an old scuffed-up pair of cowboy boots. He sighs heavily.
Mac Bane: In just a few minutes, I go to war with a man who has been my friend, my rival, and even my brother. Considering what he's done or not done, it sounds funny coming from me, I know.
He looks slowly over his left shoulder and then turns around to face the camera.
Mac Bane: I'm not religious at all, for those of you who are, I would pray for him tonight.
The wind kicks up again, blowing his hair into his face.
Mac Bane: What I do tonight is collect on all those receipts that he owes. The ones for me and for Amber. I didn't want the title, all I wanted was his blood.
He brushes the hair out of his eyes, then digs out a rubber band and secures it in a ponytail.
Mac Bane: Not just some of it, all of it. Hate is such a strong word, but in this case, it's appropriate.
His jaw sets and his gaze hardens.
Mac Bane: I'll hate every moment of this match, Matthew. I hate the thought of what I have to do to you. I hate the fact that you chose yourself over Amber. I hate the fact that tonight I will bury a man who I once called brother.
A single tear rolls down his face from the corner of his right eye.
Mac Bane: Mostly I hate the fact that I still care about you as a human being, after all the things you've done. I know now what exactly it is that she holds over you. Don't worry man, not going there right now. Very soon you will have to make another choice. A choice that has nothing to do with the rapture or any of that b.s. She's been whispering in your ear. There's time enough for that conversation after this is over.
Rubbing the tear away, he continues.
Mac Bane: My music will begin shortly, so I'll cut this short. You folks might want to pray for me too, pray that I find the strength and conviction to not kill him.
May 05, 2022 - Into the Void X
The referee signals that it was two as Mac starts to argue with the referee about it.
Simone: Beautiful suplex by Mac. Surprised Knox was able to kick out of it.
Adams: The frustration is showing on the champ as this back and forth continues.
Both men are standing up again and pressing their faces together as it is clear this is far from over for the both of them. As Mac goes to strike first with a fist Knox headbutts him right across the bridge of the nose and follows it up with a flurry of european uppercuts but stumbles back when Mac counters them with arm blocks and grabs a hold of Knox and yanks him in for a vicious headbutt of his own. Both men are now bleeding from the forehead and trading blows in the middle of the ring again. Mac flings Knox towards the ropes but he uses the ropes for a springboard roundhouse kick catching Mac by surprise and Knox goes for the cover grabbing both legs and keeping the pressure on the shoulders of Mac.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!!!!
Mac sits up bewildered and protests with the referee but the referee goes to the middle of the ring and grabs Knox's hand before raising it up.
Justin: Here is your winner and the NEW Sin City Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion..... MATTHEW KNOX!!!!!!
*****
June 19, 2022 - Climax Control
The houselights cut out, a single Raven cries out soon joined by another, then another until the cries of an entire unkindness fill the house sound system, soon broken by "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits cutting through, the house lights coming up to a dull blue as a single white strobe light pulses in time to the song's percussion. Standing in the middle of that pulsing light, back to the ring, stands Matthew Knox adorned in his ring gear and a sleeveless hoodie. Arms outstretched like a bird in flight he pivots on a heel and begins making his way to the ring...
Justin: From Baltimore, Maryland by way of Monterey, California! Weighing...!
Simone: Hold on!
Adams: Look out!
Before Matthew Knox can reach ringside, Mac Bane rolls out of the ring! The big man darts around the ringside area and meets the champion at the front of the entrance stage! Knox sees him coming and the two rivals collide in a tangle of flesh and bone, swinging bone jarring blows into each others' heads and faces!
Simone: Mac Bane isn't even willing to wait for this match to start! He wants Matthew Knox and he wants the man NOW!
Adams: Well can you BLAME him!? Knox all but stabbed Mac's wife in the back and caused her to be laid up in the hospital with a crushed larynx! She may NEVER fully recover!
That same implication courses through Bane's mind as he uses his weight to bull Knox off of the end of the stage and pulverizes his back hard against the barricade! Mac just waylays on Knox with clubbing, over handed blows raining down onto the back of his head, neck and the Raven's own wide back! Jasmine has to exit the ring and she rushes over to where this insane fight has erupted prematurely and she orders Bane to stop and get it inside of the ring where it belongs!
Adams: I don't think Bane can hear Jasmine! He is so blinded by Knox's role in his wife's potential career threatening injury!
Simone: Oh he can hear Jasmine, I'm sure! He just doesn't care what she has to say!
Mac's series of brutal blows finally has the champion driven down to his knees but one swift uppercut between the legs from Knox to Bane brings an end to this onslaught! Jasmine again orders the fight to stop but Matthew delivers a hard shot to Bane's head that sends the former champion careening down the ramp and he ALMOST crashes right into Jasmine herself who dodges the near three hundred pounder just in the nick of time!
Simone: Be careful Jasmine! Get out of there! These two don't care who gets caught between them!
Adams: Why hasn't security com out here yet!?
Matthew grabs someone at ringside and drags them from their seat, taking the steel folding chair in hand! With Bane on his hands and knees, recovering from the low blow, he is in prime position for Knox to bring the steel chair down across his wide back with a sickening crash!
Simone: Oh come ON! Someone stop this! We need help out here!
Bane rolls to his back, in obvious pain and Matthew jams the steel chair down into his windpipe, choking the life out of him! Bane coughs and gags, his legs kicking and hands tearing at the chair but the leverage is on Knox's side! Now Jasmine gets hands on and she grabs Knox by the arm and pries his arm loose, causing him to release the choke hold! Matthew spins around and rears an arm back, ready to strike...!
Simone: Don't you DARE hit her...!
Knox then goes back on the attack and he swings the chair overhead to bring down onto Bane, but Mac kicks a big boot up into the chair, sending it smashing back into Matthew's own face! Knox staggers back, holding his face and he drops the chair! The Raven staggers back and lowers his hands and they are covered in blood!
Adams: First blood goes to Mac! Payback is a bitch!
Simone: I would not be a bit surprised if Matthew Knox's nose got shattered after that!
The blood is flowing freely from Knox's nose as Mac gets to his feet and he lunges, spearing Knox THROUGH the barricade and they crash right into the timekeeper's area!!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
"The Raven" is down and out on his back as Mac Bane slowly comes to amidst the rubble of the broken barricade, scattered chairs and an overturned table! Reaching over and grabbing a power cord from the floor, Mac wraps it around Knox's throat and tightens it, pulling back as hard as he can!
Adams: He's choking him! He's choking the life out of Matthew Knox!
Simone: Whether Matthew Knox deserves it or not, this has gone way to far! There is no way this match was ever going to contain these two men!
Knox's own face is now turning a healthy shade of bluish purple as he chokes and struggles against Bane's choke! Mac uses the cord to thrash Knox from side to side and Matthew rolls to his hands and knees and grabs the World title belt that has come loose from his waist... Just as Drew Patton, Dawn Barnes and Jacob Summers run out to help Jasmine!
Simone: FINALLY! It's about time someone came out here to stop this carnage!
Adams: Lottsa luck!
But as Drew and Jacob grab Mac by the arms to pry loose his choke hold and Dawn and Jasmine attempt to tear the cord from around Knox's throat, Matthew takes the World title belt and swings it up into Mac's head, knocking him off! He did not get all of the blow in that he wanted, but it is enough to knock Bane away and to his knees, clearly dazed and hurt! A large gash has now been opened on Mac's own forehead from the belt strike, and the crimson begins to flow freely as Matthew begins using the championship belt to whip Mac across the back like a dog! Now even MORE help arrives as SVW security is out on the scene, getting between both men and forcing them apart!
Simone: Finally! I can not believe what we have just witnessed! I...!
Adams: It's not over! Not yet!
As Matthew Knox suddenly breaks free from the restraining arms of the security personnel holding him back and he starts firing off shots blindly, swinging and laying one security guard out after another! Much as Mac uses his arm strength to swing two security guards into each other and he clotheslines a third! More try to intervene but Knox bulldozes past them and jumps at Mac who sees him coming and Bane suddenly catches Knox up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry!
Adams: Oh no... oh NO!!!
Simone: GET OUT OF THE WAY JASON!!!
And Bane puts Knox THROUGH the broadcasters table with a Death Valley driver, causing it to EXPLODE into splinters and shattered wood!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! SCW! HOLY SHIT! SCW!
Matthew Knox is out on his back , body belt amidst the rubble but STUILL Mac Bane is not finished! He rolls over on top of Knox, both men bloodied, and he starts to throw down fists into the Raven's face! Suddenly Mark Ward and Christian Underwood, followed by a number of men from the roster! Goth! Miles Kasey! Agostino Romano! Bulldog Bill Barnhart! "Godly" Ken Davison! Max Burke and more! The bosses and the Superstars FINALLY pry Mac Bane off of Matthew Knox and drag him back and away from the broken World Champion by force as paramedics arrive at ringside! Bane fights and struggles to get away from the Superstars restraining him but is unable as they pull him back and away from the ringside area by the owners's orders! Mark and Christian stand there, making sure Bane is removed from the scene as the paramedics begin their work on Knox, securing him in a neck brace and lowering the gurney...
Simone: Fans, in just mere moments we are going to witness perhaps the most personal World Heavyweight Championship match -- in history!
Adams: Going after the World title is big enough, but this is about more than gold, Bel! This is about righting a wrong and avenging a man's wife!
Simone: And it simply does not get any more personal than avenging a loved one who was betrayed! And these two men are going to do so in perhaps one of the most violent championship matches ever sanctioned by Sin City Wrestling!
Adams: The Princess cruise has a cleanup crew... right?
Simone: I pray so because this match promises to be of such violence that Mark Ward and Christian Underwood had to sign a waiver from the cruise line itself over what is and could occur!
The camera then returns to the ringside area where the fans await with much anticipation for the Main Event of the evening. Drew Patton stands inside of the ring on the front corner, clad as usual in his referee uniform but this time with the added benefit of extended latex gloves and a mask over his mouth and nose, no doubt as an added precaution from SCW officials for what was to come in mere moments.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Main Event of Summer XXXTreme X!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: It is scheduled for one fall to a finish, and it is the Taipei Deathmatch for the World Heavyweight Championship!!
The cheers of the rabid, bloodthirsty SCW Universe only intensifies for the carnage they are about to witness!
The opening guitar riffs of "The Enemy" by Godsmack play as the big man makes his way out. By his side is his manager, "Chronic" Chris Page. The crowd is giving them a mixed reaction from the first sounds. The booing is almost thunderous. He laughs as they make their way toward the ramp.
They only get louder as the pair make their way towards the ring, they walk slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring.
Justin: Introducing first -- the CHALLENGER! Accompanied to the ring by Chronic Chris Page! From Port Arthur, Texas, weighing two hundred and eighty pounds -- MAC! BANE!!!
Finally, they reach the ring steps and make their way into the ring.
Mac approaches the center of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs as the boos reached a crescendo.
Adams: Bloody hell! Look at the look on Mac's face! I don't think I've ever seen him so determined!
Simone: We are talking about a man out to defend someone he loves! Does he want the championship? Yes indeed but that is taking a distant step back from what he really wants!
Adams: The head of Matthew Knox!
Simone: Indeed!
Justin: And his opponent....!
The houselights cut out, a single Raven cries out soon joined by another, then another until the cries of an entire unkindness fill the house sound system, soon broken by "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits cutting through, the house lights coming up to a dull blue as a single white strobe light pulses in time to the song's percussion.
Justin: From Monterrey, California, weighing two hundred and forty four pounds! He is the reigning and DEFENDING World Heavyweight Champion! Matthew! "The Raven!" KNOX!!!
Standing in the middle of that pulsing light, back to the ring, stands Matthew Knox adorned in his ring gear and a sleeveless hoodie. Arms outstretched like a bird in flight he pivots on a heel and begins making his way to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and picking a corner to charge and leap upon to scream the audience into a frenzy. He takes a lap around the ring, before kneeling in a corner and patiently waiting for the ring to sound.
Simone: The SCW Universe had such respect for this man until he betrayed perhaps his closest friend in Amber Ryan. We already saw justice served earlier this evening when Roxi Johnson became the first woman to defeat Masque. Can Mac Bane make it two for two?
Adams: If he can, there will be some celebrating afterwards!
Drew takes the championship belt away from Knox and shows it to Mac but the challenger still does not take his eyes off of the champion and vice versa. Drew then holds the belt up high for everyone in attendance to see and the crowd cheers!
Adams: Both of these men are so tense! They are ready to pounce!
Drew passes the gold out to Justin Decent and calls for the bell...
DING DING DING!
And both champion and challenger spring into action! Mac charges out of his corner as Knox springs to his feet and lunges - both men colliding in the center of the ring in a mass entanglement of limbs and they crash to the mat!
Adams: They refuse to wait! This one is underway!
Simone: This one will not be pretty! There will be no feeling out process or exchanging of technical holds! This will be a fight, pure and simple!
And the larger of the two men, Mac Bane, quickly gains the upper hand as he rolls off of the champion and he drags Knox up to a vertical base and he rams him back hard into the turnbuckles of the nearest corner! Mac grabs hold of the middle ropes and proceeds to bury his shoulder into the midsection of the pinned in Matthew Knox over and over and over again! Mac stands upright and buries a right handed fist into Matthew's midsection once, then twice! Mac then switches and throws a left handed fist into his gut, further driving the air from the body of the champion! Mac then grabs Knox by the arm and he hurls him into the ropes with an Irish whip and on the rebound, he sends Knox into a 360 tailspin with a stiff lariat!
Simone: Good lord! Mac Bane about tore his head off with that clothesline!
Adams: Mac Bane WISHES he had!
Simone: And Mac is not even bothering with going for the cover! He just wants to hurt Matthew Knox!
Adams: And he's doing it in the worst way possible! Look!
Mac kicks Knox over onto his back and he drops down, pinning the champion under his heavier body weight! Bane grabs a handful of Matthew's hair with one fist and uses his free hand to bludgeon the champion in the head with repeated closed fists!
Simone: Good god! I am going to be sick! Remember! Taipei Deathmatch!
Adams: Their taped fists have broken glass glued to them!
And the end result is glaringly obvious as the broken glass on Mac's taped fists has already opened Matthew Knox up at the hairline! The crimson is already flowing freely at the champion's expense, running down his face in rivets!
Adams: And Mark and Christian sanctioned this WILLINGLY!?
Simone: I don't know about willingly! I don't think Knox or Bane gave either boss much of a choice!
Not satisfied with drawing first blood, Mac tears Knox off of the canvas and he sends him into the ropes once again and delivers a big boot that floors the champion, knocking him flat on his back! Knox is dazed, disoriented! He starts to sit up but Bane lends an assist, dragging him up once again but this time Mac Bane hauls him upside down and he DRIVES him down onto the mat with a powerbomb that has the entire ring shaking! Matthew is motionless as Mac covers him for the first fall of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
But Knox escapes the pin by slicing the back of his fist across Mac's own head! Mac falls off of Knox by instinct, grabbing his face which has been opened up by the glass on the champion's taped fist!
Adams: That's one way to escape a pin!
Simone: And it worked! Now Matthew Knox has returned the favor by opening up his rival!
Indeed Mac is on his haunches, clutching at his forehead which has been sliced open clean and attempts to staunch the flow with his forearm but Knox rolls behind him and grabs him by the hair from behind and swings repeated closed fists into his head from behind, on right after the other!
Simone: This is just disgusting! This is not wrestling!
Adams: What tipped you off!? The glass on their fists!?
Knox then drags Bane up and Bane attempts a spinning back fist but Knox ducks out of the way and grabs Mac around the upper body and leg and throws him over with an Exploder suplex!
Simone: That move can not have been easy given the blood loss Matthew Knox is suffering!
Mac hits the mat and staggers back to a vertical base by instinct alone but Knox grabs hold of him and repeats the suplex maneuver! Knox staggers back to his feet, unsteady given the beating he has suffered so far along with the blood loss making it difficult to see! Mac slowly sits up and Matthew careens right into him with a shining wizard knee strike right to the head! Knox makes the cover and hooks the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Bane gets his shoulder up!
Simone: I can not see this match going on for any extended period of time! From the loss of blood to the sheer savage nature of both men, it just can't!
Adams: How can either man see!? The blood is in their eyes!
Matthew Knox kneels back, hands on his knees and stares down at Bane with open disdain. Knox then rolls out of the ring and walks over to the barricade where he snatches a water bottle from a fan. he twists the cap and dumps the contents into his eyes, washing them free!
Adams: Oh that's clever!
Knox throws the bottle down an rolls back into the ring as mac fights back to his feet. But Knox grabs Mac by the boot and pulls his leg out from under him and immediately locks him in an ankle lock!
Simone: Oh nothing would make Matthew Knox happier than if he were able to force Mac bane to tap out!
Adams: I think you'd have to break his foot off at the ankle to get that to happen and even THEN it would be unlikely!
Mac yells out in pain as Knox cranks the pressure on, twisting and bending his ankle at unnatural positions! Mac leans up on the palms of his hands to alleviate the hold and he extends a hand toward the ropes, but Matthew drops down and scissors bane's leg, preventing him from going any further! Drew is on his hands and knees, asking Mac if he wants to pack it in but Mac bellows in pain that he absolutely REFUSES! Mac is again on his palms, reaching and he drags himself closer just enough that he FINALLY grabs the bottom rope!
Adams: But it's a Deathmatch! No rules! Drew can't force the break!
Indeed Knox knows it too because he twists Bane's ankle even more, refusing to let go of the hold despite Patton's repeated pleas! That is when Mac starts to use his free boot to kick back and away at his torturer!
Simone: Never say die, that is Mac Bane! He is fighting his way free!
Adams: And Bane's feet are bigger than Matthew Knox's head so it won't take much with those hams!
Indeed not as finally a well placed kick knocks Matthew loose and he finally releases the hold! But as Mac tries to recover from his injured ankle, Matthew rolls out of the ring and grabs a power cord on the floor. Bane rests back against the ropes but in a bad spot as Knox throws the cord around his throat and tightens it, choking the life out of the challenger!
Simone: This is going too damn far! These men are killing each other!
Mac struggles, grabbing at the cable and tears at it but it is too tightly woven around his neck! He gags and chokes, and Knox has him bent backward halfway over the middle rope until he dumps him to the outside of the ring! Knox then kneels across his throat and chokes him out even further before standing up and he begins rummaging beneath the ring!
Simone: Oh no, what could he have in mind NOW!?
And the answer comes in the form of a ladder that Knox drags out from under the ring!
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Matthew picks the ladder up as Bane starts to rise, and he pivots full circle and slams the ladder into his head, knocking him back down! Matthew then carefully places one end of the ladder on the ring apron, and the other on the edge of the announcer's table...
Adams: Careful Bel...!
Simone: God I hate it when they do this... get out of the way!
Knox grabs the bloody and hurt Bane, dragging his dead weight back up. Matthew then goes for an Irish whip into the ladder but suddenly Bane holds on and reverses it, short-arming him into his waiting arms! He throws Knox up - and hits a POP UP POWERBOMB onto the ladder!
Adams: HE BROKE HIM IN HALF! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS! THAT MAN IS BROKEN IN HALF!!!
Simone: Are you finished, JR?
Adams: ... For now.
Mac is on his knees as the ladder is bent and mangled but still suspended with the champion laying back across it at an angle! Mac staggers to his feet and stumbles up the ring steps and stalks across the apron, his face a mask of crimson!
Simone: oh no... what more can these two men do to one another!?
And Mac Bane jumps off of the apron and lands right across the suspended Matthew Knox with a senton, destroying the ladder and both men plummet to the ringside floor!
Adams: THAT!!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!!!
Simone: HOW Mac Bane managed that ... a man of his size and after the beating he's taken!
Mac slowly rolls off of the motionless Matthew and stands up, clearly hurt as he forcibly drags Knox up along with him! Knox is dead weight as Bane rolls him inside of the ring and rolls in after him. Mac drags him up into a side headlock and...
Adams: Fade Away! He's got it!
Mac rolls Knox over onto his back for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!!!!
Simone: Knox kicked out!!!
Adams: HOW!?!?
That is what Mac Bane wants to know as he stares at the body of The Raven with wide eyes! he then looks to Drew and holds up three fingers but the referee only holds up two! Mac then slowly rolls over until he rolls beneath the bottom rope and grabs the top rope to assist his way to his feet! Drew checks on Knox as the champion stirs, he too a fighter with heart! Knox slowly but surely forces his way to his feet, his own body racked with pain! He turns around and Bane slingshots himself into the ring and strikes!
Simone: Burn Out!!
Mac covers Knox again and hooks the inside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!!!
Adams: He did it! HE DID IT!
Almost immediately the paramedics swarm the inside of the ring to work on both men!
Justin: Here is your winner! And NEEWWWWW World Heavyweight Champion!!! MAC! BAAAANE!!!!!
The bell rang, and "The Enemy” by Godsmack played. Mac Bane stands over the broken body of Matt Knox and glares at him with the SCW world title in hand. The crowd buzzes in anticipation as to whether Bane will continue the assault or let it go. He looks up at the heavens and shortly after that he walks toward the corner where he rests his forehead on the turnbuckle. He motions for his cooler and a microphone. It is delivered to him in short order. He looks over his shoulder and Knox has been able to maneuver himself into the corner. Still seated, but conscious, Mac opens the cooler and grabs two beers. He taps the microphone to make sure it's live.
Mac Bane: I know we are likely running over but there are a few things that need to be said to y'all.
He points his index finger to Knox
Mac Bane: More importantly to you.
A bewildered Matt Knox accepts the beer when it's offered.
Mac Bane: I'm sure that what I'm about to do will likely confuse most of you and anger many. Not just in the crowd but in the locker room as well. That's a chance I'll have to take.
He squats down in front of Knox and opens his beer, he extends a blood-soaked hand that he's holding his beer in. Knox does the same, the crowd not knowing what to make of this gives a mixed reaction to the gesture.
Mac Bane: I know why you did what you did, Matt, I can no longer fault you for that. I would do anything and everything to protect my family. That is what you did, so I'm extending an olive branch in the form of forgiveness. The other thing you should know is that I have the documentation that you'll need to expose certain things.
The mixed reaction turns into a hushed silence as Mac hands him the microphone and takes a long pull from the bottle. Knox takes the mic, almost drops it but catches himself, then stares at Mac and the beer. He raises the mic, lowers it, then drops it. Wordlessly he cracks his beer and raises it to Mac Bane, mouthing "I'm Sorry" before taking a pull and backing toward the ropes, opting for a silent, slow, limping exit
The crowd cheers not only the crowning of a new champion, but for the historic barbarism that they just bared witness to! Mac sits up as Drew passes the World Championship belt over to him and raises his arm to the raucous cheers of the SCW Universe!
Simone: Mac Bane suffered a horrid beating for much of this match at the hands of the now former champion, Matthew Knox! But what heart! What determination! And Mac Bane is now a THREE-TIME World Heavyweight Champion!!
Mac pulls away from the paramedics briefly as he staggers away feet, raising the belt up high as fireworks go off into the night sky!
Simone: What a culmination in such a historic and epic rivalry! There could be no better way to bring Summer XXXTreme X to a close!
Adams: And now we have the next tour of 2022 coming up! The India Summer 2022 tour! I can't wait!
Simone: And that begins in just TWO WEEKS! Fans, on behalf of Jason Adams! Thank you for joining us! Goodbye everybody!
The camera closes out on the paramedics helping Bane back down and working on both him and Knox as the scene fades to black and the credits roll to the nighttime fireworks!
Thank you! to everyone who wrote for this show and to Annie for the graphics.
