SCU Presents… Underground Ep. 82: All Business
This episode of Underground comes to you comes to you taped in front of a limited live audience of 25% capacity, wearing face masks and social distancing between groups,at the Golden Ring Casino… AND the Saxon Hotel, both in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday January 16th, 2021, airing at 11:59pm PST on Sin City Network and WGN.
Backstage in the office of Gianni Di Luca, he is seen sitting at his desk with his hands folded in front of him. He checks his phone really quick and then returns his attention to the camera. He stands up from his desk and the camera follows.
Gianni: Eyyyy… Welcome to Underground Episode 82: All Business. SCU GM Lexa Pellegrini and myself have put together one fuckin’ awesome show, bro. Inspired by two successful cash in’s on the briefcases from last year, we’ve decided that we was gonna give that option to the men and women of SCU and GRIME. Well, I decided with the blessin’ of WGN Head of Standards and Practices, Tad Ezra…
Gianni grins.
Gianni: Now, ya gonna see a Ladder Match for the men of SCU, and a Battle Royal for the ladies. GRIME’s doin’ things a little bit differently. The ladies of GRIME have been briefed already on the rules, and they’re waitin’ for the bell to ring, all the way over at the Saxon Hotel and Casino.
Gianni moves around the desk and leans against the front side of it, adjusting to get comfortable.
Gianni: Now, I’ve been asked to explain what a Cold Blood Match or a Saxon Skirmish Match means. Let’s start with the men. They will be fightin’ inside of the ring, which will be surrounded by six boards covered in broken glass. The turnbuckles will be covered in nails. Two steel chairs will be provided inside of the ring. It is an elimination style match, where ya lose if ya bleed. Think First Blood Match, but with multiple people. Sounds simple enough, yeah?
Gianni shrugs and then smiles as if to pat himself on the back for coming up with the idea.
Gianni: Now, on to the Saxon Skirmish Match. Six ladies will be in various spots inside of the Saxon Hotel, chosen by them. They must meet up and fight one another, or work together. I don’t really care. Eliminatin’ each other makes it easier to get the prize, but it’s not required. To win, one must find the briefcase containin’ the contract, hidden inside the hotel. First one to open it and sign the contract wins. Pen will be included in the briefcase.
Gianni starts to lean off of the desk before leaning back again.
Gianni: Forgot to mention… with each opponent eliminated, there will be a clue given over the intercom. The more brutal the elimination, the better the clue will be. If all are eliminated, ya still don’t win until ya get the briefcase. If by the end of the show, ya don’t get the briefcase, then… ya don’t get the briefcase. However, once the final opponent is eliminated, I will all but tell ya where it’s at.
Gianni leans off the desk and walks back around it to his seat.
Gianni: Now, before I let this shit get started, I gotta address a couple things. Over the last couple-uh weeks, I’ve seen people demandin’ their own matches. I’ve seen people complainin’ about not gettin’ booked or wantin’ a shot at this person, or that title. Not how it works. I ain’t Donna, and no offense bro, but I ain’t Tad.
Gianni laces his fingers together again.
Gianni: But I ain’t an unreasonable man. Prove to me that ya deserve what ya want, and I’ll be more than happy to take it into consideration. If it’s a million dollar idea, like Skag versus Andrey Azarov for the honor of takin’ home the 2020 Future Star of the Year award, which won’t change the actual record books, but hey… it’s symbolic. That’s a million dollar idea, and I’m up for it. Consider that match official for Inception IV.
Crowd: *POP!*
Gianni: Rainbow versus Esther Azarov? Not so much. We already saw that match, with Ruby in it. Where do ya go from there? One on one? Okay? I don’t see no reason to grant that match. But, I’m givin’ ya two the opportunity to heighten ratin’s. A two-fer. You two will be takin’ on Light Blue and Indigo in a tag team match tonight. If ya don’t win? Ya don’t get ya match. If ya put ya hands on each other before, during, or after the match, before the bell rings at Inception? Ya don’t get the match. Ya so much as rub me the wrong way before the bell rings at Inception? Guess what?
Gianni moves his head arrogantly as he speaks the next line.
Gianni: Ya don’t get ya match at Inception. I make the rules around here. Me and me alone. Now, if people don’t like it? They can go back to their boring lives, not bein’ employed. So, if ya wanna get booked, draw my attention. Make me think of ya when it comes to putin’ matches together. Earn ya opportunities. Earn ya spot on this roster, cause when GRIME takes over SCU, there’s plenty of talents over there that got my attention. A couple I’m even workin’ on deals with. When we absorb SCU, I ain’t gonna have room on my roster for dead weight. So go out there and make it count, or at least be like Queen of Apathy and sell me 100,000 “Meh” shirts every year. I ain’t sayin’ it again, kid. Now, I’ve taken up enough time. Let’s get this show on the motherfuckin’ road!
Gianni claps his hands together, doing his signature laugh while rubbing his hands together. He shoos the camera away as he heads towards the door to let him out. The camera man turns to the door as the door swings open. Gianni takes a deep breath as he leans back to sit on the edge of his desk, his right foot over his left with his hands crossed on his chest. Walking into his office is Hitamashii and GRIME Nightmare Champion Omasa Tazu.
Gianni: No knock? Ya just invite yourselves in I see. This better be good.
Omasa: オマサはベロニカに、数ヶ月前に試合を妨害したことに対して復讐するだろうと語った。 ベロニカの将来の夫は彼女の上司であり、オマサはあなたの愚かな雌犬との試合を要求します。 ライン上のチャンピオンシップ。
Hitamashii: Omasa is ready to tell you who her opponent is at Inception.
Gianni: Ya know it doesn't work that way, Hitamashii.
Omasa and Hitamashii turn to face each other. Omasa hands him her title then walks over to Gianni. She turns and leans on the desk to sit the same way Gianni is sitting as she sits next to him.
Hitamashii: I don’t think you’re understanding Omasa. She already has an opponent picked out. Your permission is not why she came to talk to you. She just needs you to get the contact made up.
Gianni: Humor me then. Who does she want to face?
Hitamashii: Veronica Taylor.
Gianni turns to look at Omasa and bust out laughing. Omasa lets out a laugh then grabs Gianni by the throat locking in her Omasa death grip. (Tonga grip)
Hitamashii: She’s not asking you to get the contact set up. She’s telling you you’re going to do it.
Hitamashii waves her off. Omasa lets go of the GM throat.
Gianni: Last week you said you wanted Max Burke at Inception. Now you walk in here demanding matches.
Omasa shrugs and nods with a look that reads. Pretty much, yes.
Gianni: Since the two of ya came up in my office all guns blazing, attackin' the boss, which ya will be fired for... I’ll give ya whatcha want. Under one condition...
Gianni stands up and takes a step towards Hitamashi. Omasa gets up and tries to grab Gianni by the throat again. Gianni grabs her arm and deflects it defensively and takes several steps back. Hitamashii grabs Omasa to get her to let up before she does anything more.
Gianni: First off, control her before I call the fuckin' cops and terminate both ya contracts. Second, ya get ya matches IF… ya win ya match tonight… IF Omasa even gets near that ring tonight, she’s arrested, you and the Dying Breed will also be fired.
Hitamashii: I’ll send Omasa home. You get those contracts ready. It won’t matter who I face, I’m walking out that match as the winner.
Gianni: Ya say that without knowing who ya facin'.
Hitamashii: I’m the best you have in that locker room and you know it.
Gianni: You won’t be facin' anyone from the GRIME locker room.
Hitamashii: Then who am I facing tonight?
Gianni: The one man you never wanted to face in that ring… "The Italian Stallion" Gianni Di Luca…
Crowd: *Pop!*
Hitamashii: I never said I didn’t want to face you, but if I have to destroy you to get my hands on Max, so be it. You will regret facing me, and it will be the biggest mistake you will ever make, after being engaged to Veronica Taylor! After I beat you tonight, and go on to defeat Max at Inception, you will see why Omasa and I really run this show, and you are just our puppet!
SCU Security rush the office and grab Hitamashii and Omasa. Gianni looks at SCU GM Lexa’s private guards.
Gianni: Remove her before I decide to call the cops on her.
Hitamashii: Don’t touch her, she is leaving right now on her own free will.
Omasa gets her hands up and slowly walks out of the room. Hitamashii follows her out. The guards walk out behind them as the cameras go to Gianni. We see him getting on his phone, the camera fades out as he makes a phone call.
The scene opens backstage at Underground where we see the now former Pride Tag Team Champion Ariana Angelos working out ahead of her briefcase match against Cordelia Clark, Valentina, Melissa Ruin, Angel Kash and Halo Anis when she is approached by Dev.
Dev: Ari, last week your near year long Pride Tag Team Title Reign came to an abrupt end…….
Ari: Gee, thanks for rubbing it in!
Dev: Sorry but tonight you are in one of the Briefcase Matches, thoughts on your chances?
Ari: My eyes are firmly set on one thing, getting back on the winning track! Cordelia, Valentina, Melissa, Angel and Halo all have years of experience on me, but I was one of the longest reigning SCU Champs of recent memory and I’m not about to go years without another reign! I don’t know what’s in those briefcases, but fortune favours the bold and tonight I will win that Battle Royal!
Ariana walks off as the scene fades.
Saxon Skirmish Match
Briefcase Match
Queen of Apathy vs Masked Member Orchid vs Masked Member Celeste vs Masked Member Jade vs Masked Member Cadet Blue vs Ruby
The cameras at the Saxon Hotel and Casino pick up Ruby, standing outside of the elevators in the lobby. She yawns as she has Magenta on her leash. She ties the leash to one of the marble poles and then kicks out Magenta’s knees.
Ruby: You stay here, whore. I’ve got a fucking briefcase to find.
Magenta: Yes ma’am.
Ruby rolls her eyes as she looks around.
---
The cameras then go to pick up Queen of Apathy sitting down on a lush bean bag style chair outside of the Starbucks. She has a frappuccino in one hand, and a book in the other. She sips on the frappuccino before seeing the camera on. She sighs and stands up from the chair, keeping the frappuccino with her as she begins walking around.
Apathy: Must be go time. I may or may not win this. Meh.
---
Masked member Cadet Blue is seen walking out of the club, music booming from inside with a heavy bass sound. She cracks her knuckles and begins walking forward, sighing audibly.
---
Masked member Jade is seen inside of the gym, kickboxing a bag with such intensity that she seems like she might almost be wearing herself out for the match. She stops and then turns to spot the camera. She lifts the mask out to catch a breath before she walks toward the camera.
Jade: That briefcase is as good as mine. Nobody in GRIME comes close to my skill and discipline. Not to mention my sharp wit. You ladies don’t stand a chance.
Jade continues walking toward the door, but not without grabbing a kendo stick off of a weight bench.
---
Masked member Celeste is seen on the roof, looking over the city as she rests on the ledge, knelt down as she bathes in the moonlight. Silently reflecting, she slowly stands up with poise. She looks behind her at the camera, and doesn’t rush as she continues to reflect. But, after a second, she steps down and turns back to the camera.
Masked Celeste: Some say being under mask is cowardly. Others say it is binding of the spirit. But if I have learned one thing from this experience during my long career, it is this: The mask allows the spirit to fly free. I get to explore other parts of myself I’ve never allowed myself to. I can walk through the shadows without looking over my shoulder. When you take fear from the equation, winning for me is most certain.
Mask Celeste begins pacing as she thinks.
---
Finally, we go to the security room in the basement. There is a security guard who is panting with his pants around his ankles and his shirt unbuttoned. Masked member Orchid is pulling up her pants as we see a tattoo of a three headed woman on the back of her thigh. But, we only catch a quick glimpse.
Guard: You ready for round two?
Masked Orchid: I got what I needed. But maybe later on. Can’t say that wasn’t fun…
Once she has her pants zipped and secured, she looks away from the security cameras and into our camera.
Masked Orchid: It’s go time, bitches.
---
Liam: The following contest is a Saxon Skirmish Match for the briefcase to the GRIME World Nightmare Championship! Your participants, in order of appearance… Ruby… Queen of Apathy… and representing the masked members of GRIME… Cadet Blue… Jade… Celeste… and Orchid!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We happen upon Orchid as she charges the hallway outside of Starbucks. She whips Apathy around, who tosses her frappuccino in Orchid’s face!
Rob: Damn, okay! Can’t imagine that feels too good, even if it’s frozen coffee. Apathy hits a few stiff kicks to Orchid and throws her over the coffee table and into the beanbag chairs.
Ada: She hovers over Orchid and picks up the beanbag chair and places it over Orchid’s face, kneeling down over it as Orchid kicks and flails around.
Rob: Apathy looks at her wristwatch, humming to drown out the noise coming from under the beanbag. She taps her foot and it seems she might actually care about something…
Apathy: This is taking too long…
Ada: Or, she’s just being logical. She stands off of Orchid and then lifts her up into a Snap Suplex through the glass coffee table. She goes for the cover as one of the referees catches up to them!
One!
Two!
THREE!NO!KICKOUT!
Rob: I… did not expect that. Apathy shrugs her shoulders as she lifts Orchid up from the pile of broken glass. Orchid picks up a piece with her gloved hand and she slashes at Apathy’s face.
Masked Orchid: How do you like that, bitch?
Apathy: Meh.
Ada: Apathy ignores the blood coming down from her face as she drags Orchid along. She drags her into Starbucks and up to the counter. She bashes Orchid’s face into the counter.
Apathy: I’ll take a venti peppermint white chocolate mocha frappuccino. Charge it to room 2117.
Rob: That’s bold. Apathy drags Orchid over to the dessert counter and she throws her through it. Orchid lays there, feeling like another victim of Starbucks in Sin City.
Ada: No drive thru windows here. Apathy drags Orchid out from the dessert case and hooks the leg!
One!
Two!
Barista: Sadie Spears?
Rob: Apathy gets off of Orchid and takes her frappuccino from the barista. She sucks down almost half of it in one go before Ruby comes rushing in from behind Queen and sends her barreling through the row of tables, knocking them over.
Ada: Ruby picks up a table and pushes down on Apathy, making sure her shoulders are pinned down as she leans in with all her might!
One!
Two!
Three!
Liam: Queen of Apathy has been eliminated!
Gianni: (Intercom) In order to win the briefcase, aspirations must be sky high. Don’t stop looking up, even from the top.
Ruby looks over at Orchid and snubs her nose.
Ruby: You’re not worth my time, whore, and I think I already know where this is at.
Ruby kicks dust at Orchid as she exits the Starbucks, leaving Orchid and Sadie out on the ground.
(TBC)
Ariana Angelos is walking in the back area of the casino staff area when she almost walks right into a ladder set up and standing right directly in her path. She stops short, hands up and looks to maybe step under it as it is rather tall and she is, well, vertically challenged as her bestie Carter likes to jest at her expense. But newp! No walking under ladders! That is just begging for bad luck to be thrown her way. She she works to move herself around the ladder, between it and the wall of the hallway, until she is successfully all the way around. She casts one last look at the ladder and goes to move on about her way…
HBCarter: Careful Ari!
Ari: Thanks Carter!
Then Ariana stops, eyes wide and she slowly looks around but doesn’t see any source of the voice that has become a constant in her life.
Ari: Carter?
HBCarter: You rang?
Ari: Where are you?
HBCarter: Up here.
Ari: Up - where??
Ariana then cranes her neck back and the camera itself pans up, to find Helluva Bottom Carter perched wayyyyy up on the very top of the ladder, straddling the very top, hands gripping the top rung and his feet each on one side of the ladder against a rung. He appears calm but the fact he is white knuckling testifies otherwise.
Ari: What … are you doing up there?
HBCarter: What does it LOOK like?
Ari: It looks like you’re shaking, that’s what it looks like! Carter! You hate heights!
HBCarter: Do I?
He nods, biting his lower lip.
HBCarter: That would explain a lot.
Ari: Carter! WHY are you up there???
HBCarter: Trying to get used to this, Ari! I am in a Ladder match later, you know!
Ariana places a hand gently on the ladder, causing Carter to start…
HBCarter: Don’t shake it! If I breathe I may tip over!
Ariana jerks her hand away.
Ari: Sorry! How did you even get up there to begin with -- if you’re this frozen?
HBCarter: I-I’m not entirely sure! I think Alex’s rhino might have given me a boost, but now that I’m up here, I have a new problem.
Ari: What’s that?
HBCarter: I’m not sure I know how I’m going to get down!
He swallows hard and sighs.
HBCarter: I wonder if this is how Austin’s wife feels?
Gemma is standing in the ring.
Gemma: Please welcome at this time My Team Canada stablemate Stewart Mason.
Oh Canada plays as Stewart makes his way to the ring, he elbow bumps several young fans before entering the ring.
Stewart: Damn Gemma you're looking fine tonight, and to all these great fans here tonight happy new year.
Gemma: Tonight Stewart , you are entered in a ladder match briefcase match for a future championship match, what about it Stewart.
Stewart: Exactly Gemman a ladder match with a briefcase hanging high above the ring, a match with some of the top stars in SCU, it’s going to be a battle for sure. Tonight everyone in this match is going to bust their behinds to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase, hell it might even be me, but whatever the outcome, tonight these fans are going to get one hell of a match.
Gemma: I have no doubt about that.
A pre-recorded vignette takes place in Cordelia Clark’s living room and the SCW Underground Television Champion is sitting on her couch scrolling through her phone, presumably scrolling through social media. Cordelia is rolling her eyes at something that she’s just come across on her phone. Her older sister Morgan walks up to her and sits down next to her on the couch. She sees Cordelia roll her eyes which piqued her curiosity.
Morgan: A penny for your thoughts, sis?
Cordelia: I’m surrounded by idiots!
Cordelia shows Morgan what she sees on her phone screen. Morgan takes a glance and she just completely laughs it off.
Morgan: Wow! They’re so big and bad that they have to call you names in another language. I thought you had shaken those vapid, basic, brainless women already.
Cordelia: So did I! Hey, they just keep feeling the need to make their presence known in my life and career, huh? Are they still that bitter over the fact that I’ve been besting Angel Kash so much? Is that what is going on here? I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that I was required to bow down and worship her just like every flunky she has by her side. Jeez, it’s like I’m in high school all over again. Valentina… our cousin Valentina… not that blight tart in SCU… would’ve fit in perfectly with them…
Morgan suddenly has a cringe moment upon the mention of that name.
Morgan: Do we REALLY need to mention HER? My god… you’re right though. But still… that cousin of ours… she really did ruin our name and our family’s reputation you know.
Cordelia: Yeah, I am very much aware of that.
Morgan: The good news is though… is that you have done a phenomenal job restoring the family image that she destroyed! My god, you’re on fire! You’re just turning everyone down and overcoming every single opponent just like THAT!
Morgan snaps her fingers for emphasis.
Cordelia: It’s never been easy either. And this week? It sure as hell won’t be easy since I’ve got to deal with more than one opponent…
Morgan: Yeah… most of whom can’t stand you right now. Angel is probably still bitter about the fact that you beat her for the TV title. Valentina clearly can’t stand you if that immature nonsense she displayed on social media is anything to go by. Ariana had that tie to Krystal Wolfe who you had beaten recently and the other two, they probably just don’t like you by default.
Cordelia: No big deal… I’ve got this. It’s a silly little battle royal! I’m definitely going to call my shot and take the next step up. I have proven from day one that I walked into SCU that I am quite the prodigy and I’m going to find myself reigning over this company before too long.
Despite Cordelia’s confidence, Morgan doesn’t seem too sure though she’s doing a great job of hiding this.
Morgan: Well… you are building up quite a list of enemies…
Cordelia scoffs at this, showing how little she cares about this. However, her amused tone disappears when she picks up on Morgan’s worried look on her face.
Cordelia: ...and this is of concern to you?
Morgan: You’re tackling this all alone you know. Pretty soon, you’ll have so many enemies on both sides of the aisle so to speak that it’s going to become too much for you. I’m just worried about that, that’s all.
Cordelia: You have nothing to worry about.
Morgan: You’re my sister! I can’t help it! I know that before, we talked about me going over there to join you, not as a wrestler but you know…
Cordelia: You must REALLY want to join me there…
Morgan: You know I can hold my own too if I need to get physical with anyone. It’d even out the odds a little more.
Cordelia: True… but you know me. I am always going to do the smart thing for myself and my own career. Not to worry. Let me get through this battle royal… which I am going to win because OF COURSE… and then I’ll get back to you on that. I promise, I’m going to have an answer for you by say… the end of the month?
Morgan: Yeah… that works. But… watch your back out there, alright?
Morgan stands up and leaves the scene while Cordelia is left with something to think about for a brief moment.
Cordelia: Clearly, I’m becoming a bigger target in SCU. Clearly, I’m starting to get a hater’s list being written against me! But, at the end of the day? I’ve got it all figured out! You’re all going to try to stop me in that battle royal… but unfortunately for you? It’s not going to happen! When it’s all said and done… once again? Cordy… will… REIGN!
Cordelia smirks, maintaining her confidence as the scene cuts out.
Battle Royal
Briefcase Match
Cordelia Clark vs Ariana Angelos vs Valentina vs Melissa Ruin vs Angel Kash vs Halo Annis
Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled as a Battle Royal for the SCU Underground Championship briefcase contract!
The radio version of "Sucker" by Charli XCX hits the PA system and Cordelia Clark steps through the curtains, instantly drawing some boos from the crowd.
Darlyn: On her way to the ring, from Princeton, NJ standing at 5’5” and weighing in at 125lb, she is… Cordelia Clllllllllllark!!!
She starts to walk down the ramp, obviously confident in her self-proclaimed, prodigious abilities. She has a smirk on her face as she gets to the ring, obviously enjoying whatever reaction she's getting from the fans. When she enters the ring, she finally acknowledges the "haters" with a 'hush' signal, which only serves to incite them to boo her louder. Cordelia has a laugh to herself at this, as she starts to focus on her match and the song fades.
The intro to “Fortune Favours the Bold” hits the speakers and once the vocals hit Ariana comes out to a modest reception, the young wrestler claps hand with the fans at ringside as she makes her way down to the ring.
Darlyn: Introducing, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania “The Greek Angel” Ariana Angelos!
Ariana rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd before waiting for the match to start.
Flashes like cameras go across the stage and the audience as the sound accompanies it. “Boss Bitch” by Doja Cat begins on the PA as pure beauty walks through the curtains. Her hair blows in the wind as she looks up at the ceiling. She places a hand on her hip as she lets the crowd admire her despite getting a mixed reaction.
Darlyn: Please welcome, on her way to the ring from Merida, Spain. She stands at 5'11" and weighs in at 125 pounds, she is pure perfection... Valentinaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Once Valentina is officially announced, she turns and begins walking down the ramp. She pushes her hair out of her face as she vogues, showing off her face to it's full capacity. She steps up to the ring steps and looks around with a majestic smile. She takes to the steps as she comes to the apron. She looks around for a moment, stomping her foot in protest as a scantily clad man runs down the ramp and climbs onto the apron. He sits on the middle rope, opening it for her. Valentina then takes off her Loubotins and hands them to the man as she prances barefoot around the ring. She refuses to let go of the spotlight.
The SCUTron turns on. We see the Sun Devils football field with the drummers of the school's marching band in the middle of the field making the letters ASU for Arizona State University. The drums goes off twice, with a second pause before going off again twice repeating this process 3 times before the other drums come in. This happens twice before the group starts breaking formation.
The bugle team march onto the field as they begin to play…
ASU Marching band plays their version of Public Service Announcement II by Jay Z.
The Drummers move around as they form the letters SCU. The Bugle team marches in place below the letters making 6 rows underneath. The group breaks up and marches around the field for a bit as they start to slowly make out the name Melissa Ruin…
Darlyn: On the way to the ring she is a two time all American in Lacrosse and Basketball from Arizona State… Melissa Ruin!!!
The fans begin to boo loudly as "Superficial" by Heidi Montag hits over the public address system
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
It aint that easy, it aint that easy
it aint that easy, but it aint so hard
As the lights dim and flash gold all over the arena, a lone spotlight forms at the entrance ramp as out from the back first steps Leroy with a stern look on his face. After a few moments, Todd walks out from behind him, looking nervous. As he claps within a few seconds in arrogant and exaggerated fashion, Angel Kash herself walks out as the fans boo loudly.
Darlyn: And next, from The Hamptons, NY, standing at 5’9” and weighing in at 125lb, she is “The Trillion Dollar Princess”... Angel Kaaaaaaaaaaaashhhhhhhhhh!!!
Hoppin' out the maserati
All I see is paparazzi
Snapping pictures for the
Front cover of a magazine
So I pose in everything I wear
Love to make the people stare
Always center of attention
Lookin' so bootylicious
Angel blows an arrogant kiss to the fans before doing a series of arrogant poses at the top of the ramp. She then says something to Todd and Leroy as they first go ahead, before the arrogant rich blonde bombshell does an arrogant supermodel like strut down to the ring, taunting the fans as she walks by them, before rudely sticking out her hand, and flipping her hair arrogantly as she brushes past the fans, not letting them even come close to touching her. She makes her way up the ring steps with Leroy, holding her hand from the outside, as Todd is standing in front of her on the ring apron. Angel then points down as he holds the ropes for her; she enters and poses in the center of the ring as the fans boo loudly. After that, she lays on the top turnbuckle nonchalantly taunting the fans as Todd hands her a mirror and she admires her beauty.
Darlyn: On her way next, from Hollywood Hills, CA, standing at 5’10” and weighing in at 144lb, she is… Halo Annisssss!!!!!!!!!
Life of Agony’s “Lost At 22” starts up to a pop as Halo comes out the curtain with a burst of excitement. She makes her way up the steps and slips through the ropes. Halo gets to the middle of the ring smiling as the crowd chants her name loudly.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Chad: SCU action kicks off right now with a battle royal for the briefcase on the women’s side of things. Immediately, we see Cordelia Clark and Halo Annis going at it in the far corner. Ariana and Melissa begin sparring.
Gena: Angel Kash and Valentina look to one another and watch the action going on around them. Val starts to move toward Cordelia, but Angel holds a hand up, stopping her. The two lean into the corner and watch for a sure advantage.
Chad: Melissa grabs onto Ari’s head and drags her over toward the ropes. Ari struggles, but Melissa knees her in the gut. She starts to lift her up, and Angel starts for them, but Ari spins and hits a Tornado DDT on Melissa!
Gena: Angel stops and steps back. Ari sees this and starts to walk over toward the two, but Melissa grabs onto her ankle to stop her. She is holding onto her neck still, but she gets Ari’s attention enough for her to turn back around to continue stomping away.
Chad: Cordelia gets hold of Halo and drags her over to the ropes and hits continuous knees to Halo’s stomach. She clubs at her back, getting her halfway down to the mat. She throws her shoulder first into the ring post.
Gena: Val starts to move in, but once again, Angel signals for her to stand down. Val listens as Cordelia tosses Halo into the ringpost once more. She goes to do it a third time, but Halo kicks her right in the stomach.
Chad: Cordelia stumbles a bit but she grabs onto Halo and flings her over the ropes. Halo holds onto the ropes with everything she’s got as Cordelia kicks at her stomach and her knees. Halo trips up, but still holds on.
Gena: Halo finds her footing again and she clubs at Cordelia’s face. Cordelia fires right back. Halo drops her with a Guillotine over the top rope. As she moves back, Angel and Val move up behind her, and Halo pulls the ropes down while Boss Bitches toss Cordelia over!
Darlyn: Cordelia Clark has been eliminated!!!
Chad: That one’s gotta stick in Cordy’s panties a bit. She is clearly not happy as she lunges at Halo. However, Halo has already hit a Shoulderbutt to Angel Kash and gets the Hung Out To Dry (Tarantula)! Angel struggles against it, but Halo has it on tight.
Gena: Val quickly breaks it up, though. She begins stomping on Halo, with Angel joining in. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Ari has hold of Melissa’s neck and drags her to the center of the ring.
Chad: She hits a Dropkick that puts Melissa down on the mat. She climbs up top, looking for a risky maneuver here, especially in a battle royal. She leaps off with a Diving Elbow, but Melissa rolls out of the way at the last second.
Gena: Melissa picks up Ari and jumps up, hitting a knee to Ari’s stomach. She flings Ari into the ropes, looking for a Discus Lariat in return, but Ari side steps it, just at the right time to Clothesline Valentina over the top rope, onto the apron!
Chad: Angel kicks Ari in the stomach and throws her at the ropes, and Val holds onto the top rope, but Ari reverses it, and Angel goes flying over the top rope, and knocking Val off as well, due to the surprise!
Darlyn: Angel Kash and Valentina have been eliminated!!!
Gena: And just like that, we’re down to half! Ari turns around, proud of her two eliminations, even though *technically* Val and Angel eliminated each other. Ari raises her arms up in the air, just as Melissa comes at her, nailing a Clothesline to her chest, sending her outside!
Darlyn: Ariana Angelos has been eliminated!!!
Chad: And we’re down to Halo and Melissa. These two are no strangers to one another. Melissa wastes no time in going for Halo, who has to take the defense. She dodges Melissa’s attempts at connecting.
Gena: She ducks jabs and punches, even getting a jab of her own to Melissa’s stomach. She picks Melissa up onto her shoulders and walks her over to the ropes. But Melissa clubs away until she drops down, looking for a Snap Suplex to Halo.
Chad: Halo plants her feet on the ropes and flips back, reversing it into a Fisherman’s Suplex to Melissa. She grabs Melissa up and hits a series of kicks, backing Melissa up against the ropes. Melissa holds her ground, grabbing onto Halo’s arm as she tries for a Clothesline.
Gena: Halo goes for a left jab, but Melissa grabs onto her arm and nails Halo with a solid headbutt. She then goes for a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, putting Halo on the ground. She catches her breath for a second before lifting Halo up.
Chad: But Halo flips her with a Dragon Screw Arm Whip out of nowhere that stuns even the crowd. Halo sends Melissa over the top rope. Melissa drops down to the apron and starts to get up as Halo charges at her for the Black 13 (Claymore Kick)!
Gena: But Melissa rolls out of the way at the last second! She grabs onto Halo’s leg and drags her forward into the Ruinously Stunned (Cutter/Stunner)! Melissa climbs inside and throws Halo to the outside!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Darlyn: Halo Annis has been eliminated! Therefore, your briefcase winner… Melissa Ruin!!!
Melissa takes the briefcase and slides outside of the ring. She pats Halo on the back as she starts to stir, holding onto her throat. She nods before holding the briefcase up on her way to the back.
Back outside of the gym, Cadet Blue and Jade are slugging it out when Cadet Blue smashes Jade’s face into the glass.
Ada: Jade slowly lowers to the ground as Cadet Blue stomps away at her.
Cadet Blue: Stop moving, bitch, and this’ll be over faster!
Ada: Jade defiantly kicks at Cadet Blue’s shins, stopping her for just a second so that she can hit a Fireman’s Carry into the glass, putting a crack in it.
Rob: Jade stumbles back to her feet as Cadet Blue tries to do the same. However, Jade comes through with a Superkick that sends Cadet Blue through the plate glass window!
Ada: I hope Gianni was authorized to cause this much in property damage. Luckily, I hear our ratings are through the roof tonight, so somebody might be in for a raise.
Rob: Jade steps through the broken glass as she drags Cadet Blue through the gym, and over to the Pec Deck machine in the corner. Cadet Blue is out cold, but I think Jade wants a better clue than this.
Ada: Jade takes a jump rope and pushes the arms together. She holds them with one arm, struggling heavily with labored breaths. She uses the other to tie it together before nearly losing her grip.
Rob: She takes Cadet Blue over to the machine and drapes one of her limp arms over the lonely weight and… oh fuck, I see where this is going. This isn’t wrestling…
Ada: She gives Cadet Blue a couple kicks to make her wake up a little. She then walks over and unties the jump rope, causing the weights to crash down on Cadet Blue’s arm!
Cadet Blue: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob: No one can blame her for crying right now as she tries to move the weights up with one arm. But Jade comes over and presses down with her foot, making it impossible to break free.
Jade: Give up. I want a better clue.
Cadet Blue: Fuck you, you fucking bitch! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Ada: Jade begins grinding her heel into the top weight, adding to the pressure on Cadet Blue’s clearly shattered arm. We might be going the way of “Desperado” with this one, if you know what I mean, GXW marks…
Rob: Cadet Blue gives a valiant effort, fighting it off, but there’s nowhere to go unless she literally rips her own forearm off. She continues to cry out in pain before shouting.
Cadet Blue: I FUCKING QUIT, ALRIGHT?!? YOU FUCKING BITCH!
Liam: Cadet Blue has been eliminated!
Jade steps off of the weights and moves back a few paces as Dr. Weaver and Dr. Gracie Staggs come inside to begin doing what they can.
Dr. Gracie Staggs: This one needs to go to surgery, stat. We might be able to save it.
Dr. Becky Weaver: That’s awfully optimistic of you.
Dr Staggs sighs and nods, but she continues giving orders into her walkie talkie.
Gianni: (Intercom) Holy shit, alright. Raising the stakes on me. I see how it is. What’s white, black, and red all over? The contract inside the briefcase, located by one the three newspaper stands up top.
Jade begins jogging out of the room.
Jade: Saxon Arcade and Laser Tag Arena, the pool and spa, or the casino. Easy enough.
As Jade moves around the corner, something smacks her hard across the face.
Ada: It’s Debbi, the whip! Ruby clocks Jade with it a few more times before knocking over one of the big potted plants on top of Jade!
Ruby: You whores are making this way too easy. Thanks for the tip, honey…
Ruby drags “Debbi” across the ground as she skips along, humming to herself in an almost eerie manner as she makes it to the elevator down the hall. She steps inside and presses the button marked “Spa” before it closes and a red arrow points down, above the door. Down?
(TBC)
GRIME Rules Tag Team Match
Masked Members Light Blue and Indigo vs Masked Member Rainbow and Esther Azarov
Liam: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a GRIME Rules Tag Team Match!
The crowd is cheering for the upcoming action when “Problem” by Natalia Kills begins to play over the speakers. Red and white lights flash and alternate across the dim lighted ringside area. The cheering turns to boos when Sister Ester walks out onto the stage with Red by her side. She has on a denim jacket over a black bustier and matching bottoms along with black boots and knee pads. She wraps Red’s arms around her before playing with the long strand of beads around her neck.
Liam: On her way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is 5’3” and weighed in today at 113lb. She represents G.R.I.M.E. she is Sister Esther!!!
She grims as she leans up and tilts Red’s mask up just enough to kiss his lips. She looks devious when she brings his hands down to her thighs. She then begins laughing and she skips down the ramp while teasing the crowd and sticking her tongue out at them. She prances to the naughty music until she gets to the steps. She runs up them as Red climbs to the apron. He holds them open for her and she enters. She prances around to the beat before coming to a corner to get one last kiss from Red. She waits for the match to start.
“American Landfill” by 3TEETH begins to play over the sounds system, the lights begin to strobe through the venue as Rainbow appears through the curtain dancing before stopping half way and pushes her hair back to reveal the Rainbow mask.. Rainbow surveys the crowd for a moment.
Liam: Making her way to the ring, representing the masked members of GRIME, she is… Rainbow!!!
She then continues down the ramp, as slaps the hands of the awaiting fans, she then climbs into the ring, where she then climbs the turnbuckles and surveys the crowd before climbing back down and heads to the corner, where she waits for the match to start.
Liam: Aaaand their opponents. Representing the masked members of GRIME, they are… Indigo and Light Blue!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Rob: Esther pushes past Rainbow, checking her in the process. She turns and covers her mouth. Her arrogance leaves her open for Indigo to grab onto her hair and she begins bashing her head into the top turnbuckle.
Ada: Rainbow charges at Indigo as she continues assaulting Esther. She slows slightly, giving Indigo time to move out of the way as Rainbow collides with Esther, hard!
Rob: She turns around and covers her mouth, as if to say “oops”. She turns around as Light Blue kicks her knee out. She bounces off the ropes and nails a Hip Attack to the downed Rainbow.
Ada: Indigo and Light Blue begin relentlessly stomping on Rainbow. They drag her to the outside of the ring and lift her up, dropping her mask first onto the barricade.
Rob: Indigo grabs hold of the ring apron and lifts it up, digging underneath. She pulls out a mop bucket and mop. She does a Monkey Flip to Rainbow into the bucket as Light Blue smacks her over the head with the mop.
Ada: However, Indigo isn’t ready for Esther to slide outside. She grabs hold of Light Blue and hits a DDT. She picks up the broomstick and smashes at over the back of Indigo.
Esther: Come on, cupcake! Get in the game!
Rob: Esther saunters over to Light Blue and begins bashing her with the mopstick. She grunts with each blow. Indigo starts to get up and she kicks Esther in the ass, knocking her down to the floor.
Ada: Rainbow gets up and jumps onto the barricade. She steadies herself as Indigo picks up Esther. She turns around, and Rainbow comes flying off with a Hurricanrana, also knocking Esther down to the ground.
Rainbow: Get your head out of your ass, princess!
Rob: Rainbow picks Light Blue up with the mopstick around her throat. She chokes Light Blue, swinging her around with such ferocity that it is almost alarming.
Ada: Goes to show how much these two want to get at one another. Esther picks Indigo up and the two fling their foes into one another. They pick Indigo and Light Blue up and roll them inside of the ring. They slide inside to go for a double cover!
One! One!
Two! Two!
DOUBLE KICKOUT!
Rob: Esther slaps the mat and shouts “FUCK!” Rainbow stomps as she gets up. Her and Esther glare at one another, trash talking as they rise up to their feet. Rainbow and Esther get chest to chest as they start shouting.
Ada: They’re about to come to blows and throw it all away! Indigo and Light Blue slide outside of the ring. Indigo and Light Blue grab steel chairs. They tip toe up behind as Rainbow and Esther both rear their fists back!
*CRASHHHHH*
Rob: Chair meets skull, skull meets skull, skull meets chair! Esther and Rainbow crumble down to the mat. Indigo and Light Blue seize the opportunity as they dive on top for a double pin of their own!
One! One!
Two! Two!
Ada: Ruby has taken a break from her match to rush over here to pull Indigo and Light Blue off! Ruby continues to pull Indigo outside and she whips Debbi around like crazy on Indigo, bringing her down to her knees!
Rob: Light Blue crawls back over to Rainbow to go for the cover on her!
One!
Two!
Kickout!
Rob: Rainbow kicks out! Esther and Rainbow get back to their feet. Esther glares at Rainbow, and she glares right back. However, Esther kicks Light Blue in the stomach and then hits the Salvation Slam (Glam Slam)! She goes for the cover!
One!
Two!
Three!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Here are your winners… Masked member Rainbow and Esther Azarov!!!
Esther and Rainbow stand up as Indigo slides inside of the ring. Esther ducks the attack as Rainbow catches it from Indigo. Esther slides out of the ring, moving just past Ruby and masked member Celeste going at it toward the back curtains from the little setup in the conference room. Esther waves at Rainbow.
Esther: See you at Inception, bitch…
Esther flips her hair around and turns to leave behind the curtains, just after Celeste and Ruby. Rainbow falls victim to Light Blue and Indigo stomping on her as we go elsewhere.
