Sin City Underground Ep 115 comes to you taped in front of a sold out crowd at The Forum, Inglewood, CA. This episode will air on WGN and the Sin City Network at 11:55pm PST on November 27th, 2021.
In the backstage interview area, the “What’re You Gagnon?” banner hanging up. Two leather chairs are sitting in front of the banner, and a coffee table sits between them. Liam is seated to the left of the banner, and Rory Rockefeller is on the right. He has a cup of tea, and his legs are crossed as he looks back and forth.
Liam: Hello all, and welcome to an actual fucking version of “What’re You Gagnon?”, with your host, the one, the only… Liam Gagnon. I was able to pull this one away from the bar long enough to have a sit down.
Rory: Barfly, admittedly.
Liam: So please put your hands together to welcome… a random gay ring crew member, I think.
Rory: Rory Rockefeller, former NLW and GRIME wrestler, but, um… no titles to brag about.
Liam: No career to brag about, either, if we’re being honest. So, tonight, you’ve got a match against Jerry Cann, and the fans are already planning on going to the restroom during that one.
Rory shrugs and then looks toward the restrooms.
Rory: They probably will. The bathrooms are pretty damn clean here. I’m impressed, honestly. I’m more interested in the cleanliness of the bathrooms than I am in my own match, so I get it.
Liam: You’ve had a pretty good record against Jerry, to be fair. You guys have fought a few times, and the fans… probably don’t remember that either.
Rory: Probably. I barely remember it. Look, look, Liam… Do I have a memorable face? No, I don’t. Does Jerry? Yeah… but it’s usually not caught on camera because it’s looking up at the ceiling.
Liam: I mean, you do have a face that only a mother could love.
Rory’s eyes widen as he sets the tea cup down on the table. He throws his arms out to the side, looking around.
Rory: Not even a mother. My own mom hates me. I got laid once, but I was wearing a mask and she didn’t see my face until after. I’ve still never been kissed.
Liam leans in and gives Rory a kiss on the cheek, causing the crowd to laugh and cheer. Liam laughs as well, but Rory grabs onto Liam’s face and plants a real one on him. Liam tries to pull away, but Rory got the lip lock on tight. He then pulls away and gives Liam a nod.
Rory: No homo bro.
Liam: In fact, no homo. Let’s pretend that didn’t happen.
Rory: But ya parts are saying it did. Love wins.
Liam: I want you about as bad as I want a heart attack. Now, let’s get back on track, because my wife can’t see what would transpire if we didn’t. So, with that said, you have a match against Jerry Cann later tonight. How do you honestly feel about this match? I’m sure there’s at least three people watching who would care.
Rory: Honestly, I’m excited. We have fought a few times, and we’ve always put on the best match that we can. We take it to the limits, and I have respect for him. We’re going to do what we always do, and we’re going to tear the house down again.
Liam: Okay, sure…
Liam turns to the camera and mouths the word “Wow” before turning back to Rory.
Liam: Delusional, but you do you, broski. Jerry will try, you will try, and somehow, one of you will pin the other.
Rory: Yeah, that’s called having a match. Geez, Liam. Try to keep up. We’re going to have a definitive winner. That’s all you can really ask for.
Liam: Or entertainment, but that’s a different conversation. Anyway, it’s been tolerable. Get on out of here and get ready for that match. This has been another decent edition of “What’re You Gagnon?”
Rory excuses himself as the scene fades out.
Camera’s go to the medical room as Dr. Staggs and Dr. Weaver Checking on Jenifer Lacroix neck and shoulder. Linnea Lacroix sits in the room showing moral support to her cousin but also waiting to get a checkup pre match.
Gracie: Everything’s healing up nicely, you seem to be on track with your recovery goal date.
Jenifer only understood half of that and Linnea can see that so she translated it into French for her. Jenifer smiles and the good news.
Dr. Weaver: Just take it easy, maybe wait another 10 days before getting into your hardcore workouts.
Jenifer got enough of that to understand Bucky. Jenifer gets up from her chair and walks to the other side of the room as Linnea gets up and walks over to get a checkup.
Jenifer: Linnea no need, she better then over.
Linnéa: Thanks but you can never be too sure. I’ve spent months on the sidelines and then paid for it later. Maintenance is never a bad thing.
Gracie: Wish everyone had that mindset.
Linnéa: Only way to prolong my career and make sure I can maintain an easier life when I’m older. Besides, Lis and I know we have to stay away from stronger stuff so the better I get at prevention, the less chance I have of that situation.
Jenifer: You Lacroix! Lacroix tough like diamants.
Linnéa: Damn right we are but even diamonds need to be taken care of. They lose lustre if you don’t take proper care.
Jenifer nods to agree as Linnea makes a good point.
Linnéa: The things we have to do to stay healthy and ready.
Holly Wood and Kelli Torres vs Dying Breed
Kelli and Ivan start in the ring. They tie up, and Kelli flings Ivan to the ropes. As Ivan comes back, he slides between Kelli’s legs, getting a pop from the crowd. He turns around and kicks Kelli in the stomach. She pulls her into a Piledriver. He only gets a one count. Ivan picks Kelli up, but Kelli hits an Uppercut and then flings Ivan into the corner, coming off with a Monkey Flip. She goes to the ropes and hits a Lionsault. She hooks the leg for a two count. Ivan rolls out of the way of and tags in Andrew, while Kelli tags in Holly. Holly gets inside first, charging at Andrew. Andrew Spears Holly to the mat. As they go down, Holly wraps her legs around Andrew, wrapping her arms into a choke. Andrew rises a bit, but Holly hangs on, grounding her weight so Andrew is leaning over. She maintains the Body Scissor hold, but Andrew is finally able to lift Holly and slam her to the mat. Andrew does a Wishbone Headbutt to Holly. He then hooks the leg. Kelli breaks it up quickly, just before 2. Ivan clears Kelli from the ring as Andrew looks to put Holly away with a Triangle Chokehold, but Holly reverses it and flips Andrew over. As Andrew rises, Holly hits a Hip Attack. She goes up top and hits the Sashay Away (Shining Star Press) on Andrew and hooks the leg. Ivan tries to get inside to break it up, but Kelli holds onto his ankle. Kelli Torres and Mz Holly Wood win via pinfall.
Backstage we see Dev trying to catch up with N.F.G. to get an interview with Omasa. Before Dev can get Omasa’s attention he sees Javi point forward.
Javier: Over there homez!
Javi points down the hallway at Filth and Skag. Skag yells out.
Filth: What’s good? Get froggy bitch!
Javi and Omasa run towards Filth and Skag as Skag and Filth do the same. Dev and the cameraman start running to catch the action. Omasa slows down, Javi gets ahead of Omasa. Javi stops and drops on all fours, Skag and Filth stop and look confused as Omasa jumps on Javi’s back and jumps off nailing Skag with a left and Filth with a right kick as Omasa does an open jump kick. Skag gets sent towards Filth, the impact causes Filth to hit her head against the wall. Skag stumbles but quickly gets his composure back. Omasa grabs Skags arms, Skag tries to break free but can’t. Javi gets behind Skag and kicks the back of his knee that sends Skag to his knees. Javi goes to kick Skag in the back of the head but gets tackled down by security. Omasa lets go of Skag and jumps on the security guard to pull him off of Javi. Other security grab Omasa as others hold Skag to keep him detained. Filth sneakily gets to her feet and rushes Omasa hitting her in her blindside as a strong left punch connects with Omasa’s left ear. More security arrive and grab Filth to detain her. The brawl breaks up as Cameras go to ringside.
There is a slight commotion in the capacity crowd, leading the cameras around the ringside area until its spots a very familiar face in the form of Helluva Bottom Carter Bandung in the front row, right amidst the fans. Carter is perhaps surprisingly not wearing his usual flamboyant or colorful attires, and his hair is not frosted but it's natural shade. He is in fact, wearing a camouflage tank top of black and gray shades, with matching military pants and a cap on his head. And in his hands, he is holding up a sign that reads "SCU IS EL GRANDE STINKEROO." He then turns the sign around and on THIS side it reads "SCU UNFAIR TO CARTER!"
And beneath that, and slightly smaller print, the following is added, "And Mz. Holly Wood too!"
Rory Rockefeller vs Jerry Cann
Rory and Jerry start things off with a Test of Strength, but Jerry soon knees Rory in the stomach. Jerry whips Rory into the ropes, and Rory spins away from a Spinebuster attempt. He comes off the other ropes and catches Jerry with a Big Boot that puts him down. Rory gets a two count. He picks Jerry up and sends him over with a Hip Toss. He tries again, but Jerry pushes Rory’s head right into his knee. He hits a Hip Toss of his own. He then lifts Rory up by the throat, looking for a Double Handed Chokeslam, but Rory punches him a few times in the face, breaking free. He bounces off the ropes, nailing a Dropkick right to Jerry’s stomach. He goes off the ropes, looking for a Bicycle Kick, but Jerry catches his leg and does a Dragonscrew Takedown. He lifts Rory up for a German Suplex. He latches on for a second one. As he goes for the third one, Rory whips his elbow around right into Jerry’s face. He sets Jerry up for the On The Rocks (An Atomic Drop followed by a Double Undertook Piledriver), and Rory falls on top of Jerry for the three count. Rory Rockefeller wins via pinfall.
The scene opens backstage, where we see Amy sitting crossed legged with the GRIME championship sitting on her lap on as she sits on one of the packing crates. Her eyes are closed and headphones in her ears as she meditates and prepares mentally for her match tonight. Sensing movement, she opens her eyes before removing the headphones as thinks for moment.
Amy: Last week didn’t turn out so well. I have put my hands up and apologised to Joshua after the match, but it was my fault. I admit that while my match preparation went well, however, I think I may have just got a little too cocky because of my previous encounters with Esther and Joshua’s previous encounter with Andrey. I can only apologise to Joshua for this… but it’s happened and its time to move on.
Amy shifts on the crate before continuing on.
Amy: So tonight… I am defending my championship against Azurine Vebbins. Now from what I saw in the past she impressed me but that was in the past. You had a lot of things going for you and you were making some waves, but now you are a joke. I’ve watched what you have done recently and quite frankly I am not so impressed now. What happened?
Amy queries.
Amy: From your recent exchanges with that Katta Pult girl… it’s safe to say that the GRIME championship is staying with me. This match… falls count anywhere match… I am going to thoroughly enjoy it. I need a nice easy match where my opponent seems more focused on being embarrassment and being just a number on the female roster, than actually being a wrestler. Tonight Azurine you better be prepared to have your sorry ass bounced around the ring and bounced all around the venue.
I have stated this many times that I thrive in these matches, and I need this win to make up for that shit show last week. Azurine you are just another successful defence… just another face… a blur… while you remember this as your worst night ever, I will remember this a another win another notch in the win column.
Good luck tonight because you will need it.
Amy smirks before returning the headphones to her hears and back to her match prep. The scene fades out on the GRIME championship in Amy’s lap.
Kandy Kaine vs Katta Pult
Katta and Kandy start off with a solid back and forth battle of submission skill. Katta gets control with a side wristlock, but Kandy turns it around with a Hammerlock. Both ladies break away and Kandy nails a Crescent Kick. This brings out the technical style in Katta as she fights back with kicks to the stomach. The ladies trade advantage in strong, artistic kicks. Each competitor brings their own style, and gives the fans a true Combat Division style match for a moment, despite the wrestling rules. Kandy gains the control with an evasion spin of a punching strike, and nails a well placed chop to the back of Katta. She capitalizes with several stomps, breaking the cycle. She pulls Katta up, and flings her into the ropes, but Katta grabs onto Kandy and brings her back with a German Suplex. She drops an elbow to the top of Kandy’s head and then goes for the cover. She gets a two count. She argues with the referee, giving Kandy time to get back to her feet. She lays in stiff kicks to the back of Katta’s knees, bringing her down. She then hits a knee to the back of Katta’s head. She goes up top to nail the Kandy Krush Saga (5 Star Frog Splash…) but Katta jumps up and rushes up the ropes, hitting the BPE (Best Plex Ever) on Kandy. The crowd is in awe at how perfect it is, and how impactful from the top rope. Katta Pult wins via pinfall. Katta raises her arm, rubbing it in as she goes around the ring, pointing to what she’s just done.
We go backstage, we hear loud clapping sounds echoing the halls. As the camera turns the corner we see Mercedes Vargas leaning on a table going over her phone as Winter is seen a few feet away practicing her Wing Chun on a Wing Chun dummy.
Mercedes: Winter, my little shit disturber, faces Omasa Tazu. Omasa, you seem desperate wanting to fight me so bad. This has been going on since the last time I beat you. You have to get past Winter to face me. When Winter takes care of you tonight, this is over between us, mamita. You came to SCW trying to prove a point and it failed, miserably. It’s eating you inside. You came, you saw, and you got conquered. Now tonight, Winter will expose your weakness like I have done.
Winter: Like mother like daughter!
Winter says while still smacking the dummy with quick short strikes and kicks. Mercedes shoots Winter a look that screams, earn to say such a statement.
Winter: Let them know what they don’t know! They all in for a rude awakening.
Mercedes: Callate. (Shut up).
Winter: Okay, okay.
Winter says as she keeps focus on her training.
Mercedes: As for Amy Santino, the selfish Mercedes you told Winter about on media sociale didn't just put Winter in a match where if she loses I face Omasa but if she wins she gets nothing. No, as her manager I set it up so when Winter beats Omasa, and she will, she gets to face you for the GRIME Title.
The loud claps stop as Winter turns to face Mercedes.
Winter: They can’t say we didn’t warn them. I told them, come 2022 everyone’s in for a long Winter season!
GRIME Championship
Falls Count Anywhere
Amy Santino vs Azurine Vebbins
Inside the ring, Amy and Azzy are at each other’s throats, literally, hands wrapped around each other’s throats. Amy rushes Azzy over the top rope, but Azzy holds on, taking Amy with her. Azzy secures a kendo stick and cracks Amy over the head with it. Amy goes down for a two count. Amy loosens her grip to try to get away, and Azzy hits a Vertical Suplex. She picks up the stop sign and goes to bash Amy, but Amy rolls to the outside. She and Azzy brawl back and forth around the ring, and up the rampway. Azzy picks Amy up and whips her toward the barricade. Amy reverses it, sending Azzy into it. She picks Azzy up from the ground and runs her head across the barricade, hitting a snag and cutting her forehead open. This brings Azzy back to life, and she kicks Amy in the stomach. She plants Amy with a DDT and gets a 2 count again. Amy tosses Azzy through the curtains. Azzy hits a Drop Toe Hold to Amy, right into the wall. She turns and helps hit a Hip Toss through the catering table. Azzy tries to get Amy into a Camel Clutch, but Amy trips Azzy up, dropping her face first into a pumpkin pie. She lifts Azzy up and sets her up for the Bad Girl (Double Knee Facebreaker)! Amy Santino wins via pinfall. She takes her title back and puts it over her shoulder, kicking the gravy bowl over onto Azzy before going to get cleaned up herself.
In the back, we see Andrey with the SCU Combat Championship over his shoulder. He is standing with his lovely (bratty) wife, Esther. She is looking at her phone and chewing gum as she slowly blows a rather large bubble. It finally pops, fluttering her bangs a little as she brings the gum back inside. Dev Khatri approaches them, trying to act casual. He leans against the wall next to Andrey and nods his head as Andrey slowly looks over at him, questioning his presence there.
Dev: How about the weather, huh? Gotta love Cali Autumns, huh?
Andrey snorts and spits right on the ground next to Dev’s polished loafers. He leans off the wall and turns to look at Dev.
Andrey: Is too hot. In Russia, this is like summer day. American pussies…
Andrey props his title up as if to demand that Dev talk to him about it. Dev picks up the hint immediately.
Dev: So, Andrey. Have you any idea on who you might be facing at Inception for the SCU Combat Championship? There’s plenty of options out there for you.
Andrey rubs his chin.
Andrey: Oh? Such as whom? I would like to hear this long laundry list of credible opponents lining up to lose to me.
Dev: Well, Dax Beckett could hold his own as a former Combat Champion.
Andrey scoffs.
Andrey: Yes, and being absent to play Match Game on Moments In Life Network show instead of wrestling is big qualifier, da?
Dev: Well, there’s Jerry Cann.
Andrey: Who I’ve beaten more than once.
Dev: Eyesnsane?
Andrey: I wish he would. But what does Eyesnsane do anymore? He hides behind Dax and Rory and grills burgers. If it was burger grilling contest, then he might win. But it is Combat Division, and he is out of practice.
Dev: Stewart is without a championship, and he’s been a huge name in the division.
Andrey: The past is past, Dev. Stewart lost title to great competitor in Hitamashii. Does anyone see Stewart in any position to demand title shot right now? He has better chance of earning another loss to Hitamashii. If this is best list of candidates you have, then I suggest Erik Staggs hires combat wrestlers of esteem to give me real challenge.
Dev thinks about it for a second. He begins to see Andrey’s point.
Dev: Fresh competition wouldn’t be a bad idea. Some new names to freshen up the title scene. I mean, Merlot has beaten just about everyone on the roster, but you’ve taken down a pretty good amount of the men’s roster, yourself.
Esther: Merlot wouldn’t dare put that title on the line against me again. She knows that she barely escaped with the title the last time. But, go on. Talk about how SHE needs fresh competition.
Dev: She’s been the Combat Champion for over a year and a half.
Esther: I DIDN’T ASK FOR YOUR OPINION, DEV!!!
Dev holds his arms up innocently and he takes a step back. Andrey has a toothy grin on his face as he looks at Esther, and then to Dev. He decides to break up the tension a bit.
Andrey: This isn’t about Merlot. It is about me. I have faced so called best in SCU’s Combat Division, and I am still champion. So why don’t you go tell Erik Staggs to deliver…
Before Andrey can finish what he’s saying, Raisa is seen walking by, slowing down to look at Andrey with a wicked smile on her face. Jake and Jack Jeckel appear shortly after her, and they stop right in front of Andrey, leaving a mere foot between them. Esther steps up too, looking Jack right in the eye. They stand there for all of one minute before Raisa escorts the Jeckels off.
Raisa: Be very careful what you wish for, Andrey. Because you just might get it…
The Jeckels disappear from the shot as Andrey’s nostrils flare out. Esther puts a hand over his shoulder.
Esther: Baby, it’s okay. Just take a deep breath and calm down.
Andrey knocks over a table with production equipment on it as he storms off, shouting in Russian. Esther pouts and folds her arms across her chest before looking right over to Dev.
Esther: Why do you have to come around?! You’re nothing but a handsome pile of trouble, Dev Khatri…!
She stomps her way off screen after a very dramatic spin turn. Dev grins sheepishly.
Dev: She called me handsome…
Linnera Lacroix vs Halo Annis
Linnea grabs onto Halo right away and flings her into the ropes. Halo ducks a Clothesline, but on the rebound, she catches a hard elbow to the face and goes down. Linnea stomps away at her violently in a circle before picking her up and landing a Snap Suplex. She holds on and lifts Halo into another Snap Suplex. She goes for a third, but Halo knees her in the gut and then clubs her back. She flings Linnea into the corner and follows up with a Clothesline. She goes for a Running Bulldog, but Linnea flings her forward. She rushes behind Halo and hits a Punt Kick to her spine. She locks on a Standing Rear Choke. Halo refuses to give in, and Linnea begins hammering away at her head, punch after punch. Halo tries to block as best as she can. She finally ducks and trips up Linnea, who gets right back up. However, Halo uses the distraction to get up and she begins delivering a series of kicks, grounding Linnea with a Spin Kick. She scores a two count. She lifts Linnea up, and Linnea roars as she kicks Halo in the gut. She lands the Bourbon Street Blues (Future Shock DDT)! Linnea Lacroix wins via pinfall.
Cameras go to the catering room. We see Jerry Cann walking away from the table with food with two plates. He walks over to a table where Kandy Kaine and OG Martha sit. Kandy has a plate in front of her. Jerry hands a plate to Martha then sits down to join them. Shorty walks over with a plate. And asks to join them.
Shorty: Hey OG Tots, can I join in?
Jerry: What did you just call her?
Martha: Oh relax Jerry, everyone knows that I’m the OG Tots in this business.
Kandy: That’s right girl. You're still rocking it at your age.
Martha: At my age? And how old do you think that is?
Jerry: Well, I did see your picture in Brother Grimm’s yearbook and he’s about 3,478 years old so I’d say anywhere between 3,476 and 3,480.
Martha: Oh hell nah.
Shorty: That’s messed up, look at OG Tots, she never got older then 49 years old in the looks department.
Kandy: OOOOH, OOOH do me, do me.
Shorty gets out of his chair and walks over to Kandy while unzipping the fly from his jeans.
Jerry: Yo! Dude what the hell.
Kandy: Ewww… I mean oh my, you might be short but not in your pants.
Shorty winks as he zips up his pants.
Shorty: You say to do you and I’m not gonna think twice on your fine ass, tots.
Hitamashii walks by with a plate of food.
Hitamashii: As the face of this company, having a perv like you is an embarrassment.
Shorty: Hey, fuck you!
Hitamashii swings his plate, his food goes flying off as he smacks Shorty in the face. The plate breaks into three parts on impact. Shorty drops to the floor.
Hitamashii: I’m the Underground Champion. You’re going to show me some damn respect.
Kandy: That was very uncalled for! I should have Jerry beat you up for that.
Hitamashii: Even if Jerry was dumb enough to listen to you, he just get knocked out like Shorty.
Jerry: I wouldn’t take Kandy's side on this but if I did, it would be your ass laid out on the mat.
Hitamashii: You say that because you know nothing will come from it but if you really think you can take me then have Martha talk to Gianni to make it happen. If not then shut up and eat your food.
Jerry: I’m getting sick and tired of everyone thinking they can walk all over me. You want a match then put your big boy pants on and talk to the boss, use your belt as the clout mister face of the company or tuck your tail between your legs and run off like the bitch you are.
Hitamashii: Don’t say I didn’t warn you when this backfires on you.
Martha: Enough! I want to enjoy my meal.
Hitamashii: Sure thing Martha, you know I got nothing but respect for you.
