SCU Underground Ep 44 coming from the Golden Ring Casino, Las Vegas, NV.
December 26, 2019. We ask that segments get turned in by Dec 26 at 12:00 pm EST. Please no later than this, we want to give you all extra time since it is the holiday’s but nothing later than the deadline so that we can get the show up as early as possible.
Backstage, the live crowd cheers as Marissa Henry is seen holding up a microphone. Standing next to her is SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas for an interview segment.
Marissa: Mercedes, ten nights removed from December 2 Dismember and your victory over Jessie Salco, you said you were going to end the year on a high note in the week leading up to the supercard, you did just that. What did your win mean to you?
Mercedes: Well, Mari, we just finished the holidays, goodwill towards everyone and all that, so I'll try and put this in the nicest way possible. Me beating Jessie Salco was expected. I've beaten her four times now, including twice one-on-one this year. Twice.
She holds up two fingers.
Mercedes: Jessie is now in my rearview and I'm looking forward to doing what I do best, and that's making history in 2020.
Marissa: Well, when it comes to history, you've certainly made quite a lot this with various record-breaking moments this year. Not only are we in for three great matches promised for tonight, including seeing the SCU Hardcore Tag Team and Television Championships up for grabs, but later tonight, we'll have an announcement on which matches will take place at the Night of Champions edition of Underground in the new year. Chances are we'll be seeing Veronica Taylor defending the Underground Championship soon enough.
Mercedes: Yeah, let me say something about that and Ronnie because it's been on my mind for a while now.
Mercedes shakes her head, then looks at the camera in disgust.
Mercedes: You know, it's like I could predict the future, Veronica. I did say you would have help, and there was Angelica lurking at ringside. I did say you would use every underhanded trick in the book, and you never proved me wrong yet. Because let's face it, if not for the DQ, I would be the Underground Champion right now heading into the new year. That being said, I'm a little hurt. I thought we had a bond, as Mean Girls. But well played, Vero. Here's your round of applause. Here's your bow.
Mercedes does a slow sarcastic clap then performs a bow in turn.
Mercedes: My hats off to you that night and for your recent defense at December 2 Dismember against Kelli Torres. Though I don't think you expected Celeste to be on your dance card either. That being said, since you never really beat me, I think I deserve a rematch, and I hope Tad and Donna eventually see it that way because, sweetheart, I think we both know that your days as champion are numbered.
Marissa: Mercedes, real quickly. You're co-hosting this year's SCU Year-End Awards with Delia Darling. The last time we saw you together was when Delia inducted you into last year's SCW Hall of Famer at High Stakes, a well deserved honor for your incredible career. What can we can expect tonight from you two?
Mercedes: I don't know. Papercuts from opening those envelopes, wardrobe malfunctions, getting past the censors with an f-bomb now and again, roasting the nominees? The night is still young. As hosts, just think of Delia and I as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, You love them, sure, but you love them twice as much together. Except we might go off in French or Spanish at any time, so have Google Translate handy. What more can you ask for?
She maintains an unwavering smile as on this the scene heads elsewhere.
We are taken backstage, where Dev Khatri can be seen standing alongside Mark "The Dragon" Cross, who is donning full ring gear with one exception, a deep blue Christmas jumper with a large reindeer emblazoned on the front. The nose of the reindeer is lit up with a collection of red LED lights.
Dev: I'm backstage with Mark "The Dragon" Cross, who 24 hours later, still seems full of the Christmas spirit.
The Dragon: Happy holidays Dev. I like to get good value for money out of my festive jumpers.
Dev: So we're back at our first show since December II Dismember…
The Dragon: What is it with wrestlers these days and not winning clean Dev? I mean come on, it'll be 2020 in a few days, there's cameras everywhere, we all know when you've scammed somebody. You know what, I'm invoking my rematch clause.
Dev: Only defeated champions get a rematch cla…
The Dragon: I'm invoking my rematch clause because we all know what happened out there. At the start of the night I go toe-to-toe with Griffin Hawkins for his Roulette title belt. I fought hard for that thing and when it comes to form? I was on a real heater coming into that match, but he defended honourably and he proved why he deserved that belt. I didn't quite have enough to prise it away from him...and then we come to Javi.
Dev: You know you don't get a rema…
The Dragon: Who has to cheat to win.
Dev: NOREMATCHCLAUSE
Growing increasingly frustrated with being interrupted, Dev gets it in as quickly and as loudly as he can while Dragon takes a breath. Mark gives him a sideways glance.
The Dragon: Big D, I know that mate. That's why you're going to put in a good word for me.
Dev: Huh?
The Dragon: You saw me get misted, right?
Dev: I watched the match, yeah.
The Dragon: You know I'd beat him straight up, right?
Dev: Well...erm…
The Dragon: It's not a no, I'll take it. So you're going to be my man on the inside, put a good word in?
Dev: I don't think I have the…
Mark claps Dev hard on the shoulder, wobbling the smaller man a little off balance.
The Dragon: Knew I could count on you Dev! Next time you see me I'll have the Underground belt…
Mark makes an "air-belt" around his waist with his his hands.
The Dragon: ...right here. Anyways I've got a match to win. Catch you later.
With that he turns and moves out of shot, leaving Dev more than a little confused by the whole encounter.
The crowd is cheering like crazy as they focus in on the fans. Most of them are wearing SCW and SCU merchandise, fresh from the stands for Christmas. Others are wearing their ugly sweaters and their santa hats. The spotlight shines on the stage as Liam Gagnon is seen wearing his ugly sweater, holding a microphone in his hand.
Liam: Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to SCU presents… Underground Episode 44: The Year End Award Special!!!
Crowd: *POP!*
Liam: And your hostesses for this evening, we have former World Bombshell Champions, former World Bombshell Tag Team Champions, an SCW Hall of Famer, and former Mean Girls… Mercedes Vargas and Delia Darling!!!
The crowd gives off a mixed reaction, but the notoriety earns them more cheers than boos. “Amazing” by Hi Fashion plays over the speakers as Mercedes and Delia appear on the Sin City Tron above Liam. The reaction gets louder and louder. Mercedes and Delia are wearing black sequin dresses and matching Louboutin’s, their hair pinned up to opposite sides with golden pins. They walk along a red carpet on the platform where they are standing, moving along to the podium. Mercedes takes the microphone and looks out to the crowd.
Mercedes: It is a great honor to be your hostesses this evening. Gosh, I can’t even begin to list the reasons why. So I won’t.
Mercedes grins as the audience gives her a mixed reaction, but boos come out louder this time. Delia graciously accepts the microphone next.
Delia: Mercedes, darling… vous are correct. Z’ere are so many reasons for us to be grateful to be here tonight. Such as z’e pink Jaguar mon admirer gave moi for Christmas. Or z’e golden ring sent to me by more admirers. And I get to show it all off tonight, no?
Delia looks to Mercedes and they both shrug as the boos get louder.
Delia: Z’at is what I expected! Now it feels as if we have returned home. Speaking of returning home, SCW and SCU will begin z’eir Homecoming Tour 2019, starting wi’s Underground Episode 45: Night of Champions, in Dathon, Alabama on January 5th 2019.
Mercedes: A real treat, no doubt. Now, tonight, we will be presenting various SCU stars with 13, count ‘em, 13 awards. Each star has fought hard all year for these awards, but not everyone will win. Some are better than others.
Delia and Mercedes once again shrug. Mercedes and Delia look to the envelopes, and they split them up amongst themselves. Mercedes clears her throat and looks out into the audience.
Mercedes: SCU is built on alliances. Team building gets you far. Just ask the Mean Girls, except Celeste, because, well…
Delia covers her mouth with one hand and playfully shoves Mercedes who has a cheeky grin on her face.
Mercedes: Stables hold a very special place, and are often not looked at when awards are presented. Otherwise, Mean Girls would have secured a number of awards. As far s SCU is concerned, there have been many stables of three or more than have made an impact, but one stood out above the others…
Mercedes opens the first envelope and Delia sees it right after Mercedes. Mercedes places it down.
Mercedes: So the award for Stable of the Year goes to… Team Canada!
Crowd: *POP!*
Oh Canada by Dale Oliver starts to play as Combat Champion Earl Lockyer, Combat Champion Stewart Mason, TV Champion Dahlia Rotten, Sarah Lane, Gail Weston and Gemma Forst to on stage. Mercedes hands the award to Earl as Dahlia gets on the microphone.
Dahlia: What a year for Team Canada, no three man team did what we did. We look forward to doing it again next year.
Stewart: 2020 expect no different, we ain’t going nowhere. Who knows, we may just grow and get stronger.
Earl: We do thank everyone who voted for us and saw what we as a group bought to SCU during the year. We seen a rise in groups as of late, many will try to step up to Team Canada. We’re stable of the year for a reason.
Dahlia: So think twice before stepping up to the best group in SCU!
Delia claps her hands softly as Team Canada exits the stage. She then looks at her envelope.
Delia: Speaking of teamwork, wrestling today lacks in z’e Tag Team Division. But not in Sin City Underground. Oh no. Wi’s teams like z’e Kawaii Dragons and Nobility, Team Canada, and z’e Fire Dragons, it is hard to argue z’at we have one of z’e most flourishing Tag Divisions in wrestling today. Wi’s z’at said, z’e award for Tag Team of z’e Year goes to…
Delia opens her envelope and looks down at it for a second. She winces and rolls her eyes.
Delia: Le Coven…
Crowd: *POP!*
The camera pans out to see Celeste and Jenifer walking across the stage. Celeste looks out to the audience, her hand waving as she moves along. Jenifer watches the podium as Mercedes slowly backs away. However, Delia steps closer to Celeste and Jenifer, holding out the award. Jenifer accepts it as Celeste and Delia share a long, tense staredown that seems to go on for hours, even though it only goes on for seconds. Delia eventually steps back with a smirk upon her face. Celeste returns her focus to the crowd and a smile appears back upon her face.
Celeste: I know a speech is not required, but what the heck, right?
The crowd cheers even louder and Celeste chuckles into the microphone.
Celeste: 2019 has been one fucking wild ride for Le Coven. We lost one of our members to the LFL and her husband. We saw some downs for sure, but we’ve remained positive. We want to provide the best possible show for the fans, and in doing so, we have managed to avoid defeat. Despite the downs, how can we not be grateful for this award? Thank you to everyone who saw that we worked hard to receive this award, and we hope to continue to make you proud.
With more cheering, Celeste steps aside and Jenifer enters the shot.
Jenifer: Le Coven est si heureux d'être nommé le Tag Team of the Year…
Jenifer is nudged out of the way as Delia Darling holds a hand up with fake apology as she looks right at Celeste.
Delia: Perdon moi. Z’at was very, very generic. “I’d like to s’ank z’e fans”? Really? Why not just get on your knees and kiss z’e ass of every fans in z’e Golden Ring Casino tonight?
Celeste purses her lips and looks over to Delia and the crowd gets on their feet. Celeste then laughs and turns away from Darling.
Delia: Big and bad Celeste Nor’s… Had we known years ago z’at you would fall in line so easily, we would have never teased you into s’inking you were ever as good as us Mean Girls.
Celeste turns back around and Jenifer prepares to attack Darling, despite Mercedes being ready to attack Jenifer.
Celeste: To quote the bitch that I knocked out at December 2 Dismember IV on the 15th… Why the fuck would I want to be a “basic bitch” like you, Delia? Why would I want to be a tired old hag trying to cling to her glory days like Mercedes over there? Why would I want to sound like a broken record like Veronica? You didn’t kick me out of the group. I got bored playing Cady Heron. You just got a nice little beat down on me before I could peace out.
Delia: Hoh… You s’ink z’at is how it played out? Really? You s’ink you are good enough to “hang” wi’s z’e Mean Girls? I bet Le Coven would find z’eir first loss if every forced to fight any two Mean Girls.
Celeste: I bet we would embarrass you way worse than that time Amy Marshall ended your title streak and Mikah took over your record for longest World Bombshell title reign.
Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Delia is ready to choke out Celeste, but Mercedes pulls Jenifer back into a Black Rose Overdrive. With the distraction, Delia kicks Celeste in the gut and hits a Le Bitch Bomb, and the crowd boos loudly as Celeste finds herself sprawled out on the stage. Mercedes and Delia nudge the two off of the stage as they breathe heavily. After about one minute, they catch their breath and return to the podium as if nothing had happened, but the fans are still going crazy. Delia leans into the microphone and lets out an exasperated sigh.
Delia: Oh… Every name etched in stone has earned z’eir legacy s’rough hard work and perseverance. One simply cannot say z’at z’ey are a star. Z’ey must prove z’at z’ey are a star. Z’is year, two individuals did just z’at. It is my pleasure to introduce z’e winners for 2019 Breakout Star of z’e Year! And your winners are…
Delia opens the envelope and reads the names printed on the card. She shows it to Mercedes with a giggle and a smirk.
Delia: Tim Staggs and… Celeste Nor’s and Jenifer LaCroix!
Delia and Mercedes look down at the two who just began to move on the concrete floor. They mock them with saddened looks and they drop the awards on top of them. They wave and return to the podium as “The Nobodies” begins playing over the speakers. Tim Staggs walks out onto the stage and walks to the podium. He takes the award from Delia rather forcefully and then bumps her out of the way with a hip check.
Tim: This sport can be a bitch, and that was before bitches like you stepped off of the runway and into the ring to be a professional bitch. Other than that, um, thanks for the award. Keep it chill. And if Delia ever wants to put a hand on my friend again, we’ll make what GRIME does look like a walk in the park.
Crowd: *POP!*
Tim holds the award up and he glares sideways at Delia who puts her hand to her chest as her and Mercedes laugh with one another. Mercedes watches as Tim exits the stage. She pulls out the last card for this session, and she waves her face with it.
Mercedes: Talk about a tense situation. I think Sin City talents need to be offered psychological evaluations before signing a contract, am I right? Moving on, this evening, we are looking forward to a new year. And with a new year, it brings about new possibilities. The future is upon us, and anyone in that locker room could be standing up here next year receiving the Breakout Star of the Year award in 2020. That could very well be the winners of the next award, 2019’s Future Star of the Year. And that award goes to… Father Gerald Shepherd and Merlot Ayano!!!
“Spirit In the Sky” plays over the speakers as Father Gerald Shepherd comes through the curtains with the Good Book in his left hand and his right hand waving at the booing crowd. He jogs up to the podium and accepts his plaque. He reads it and then looks out into the blinding white lights shining on the podium.
Gerald: I have to say that I am shocked and honored to be awarded this. “Future Star of the year for 2019”? In Sin City Underground? That is special. In a company where we are treated like outcasts and pariahs just because of our belief system. A place overrun by sodomites, whores, and satan worshippers it must have taken a lot for them to decide that I deserved this award. So it is with great pleasure and under the eye of the Lord Jesus Christ, that I accept this. In his name.
Gerald raises his arm like he is asking for the fans to say “Amen” but instead they boo him. He growls into the microphone but instead he stomps off in a bit of a fit to leave the stage.
The camera opens up somewhere in the “backstage area” set up in the Golden Ring Casino, focused on an entrance(or is it an exit?) door. A few seconds pass and the door opens and a chilled breeze blows in before the mysterious blonde woman seen with the returning O’Malley at December 2 Dismember walks in, followed shortly after by O’Malley himself, sporting a long black trench coat. The blonde woman, wearing a pair of dark jeans, a great fitted t-shirt with a celtic symbol on it and a black leather jacket, stops and smiles. O’Malley stands next to his woman, a blank expression remain on his face.
Woman: O’Malley, darling, I know you didn’t find our presence here tonight rather needed, but I hope you trust that everything has a purpose. You do trust me, right?
Her Irish accent, as slight as it is, is now apparent, as it hadn’t been at December 2 Dismember. O’Malley closes his eyes as the woman brings her hand to his cheek, and he’s almost mesmerized by her. He doesn’t speak a word, and she just smiles back at him again.
Woman: Very good, darling.
O’Malley’s eyes suddenly move and he stares past her. His nostrils flare a bit and when she spins around, she comes face to face with an angry Alexis Staggs! The woman, however, just grins and doesn’t even flinch or show the least bit of intimidation.
Woman: Oh, look who we have here. We’d love to stay and chat, but—
Alexis: But nothing, bitch! I don’t know who the fuck you are, or what O’Malley is doing with you, but I want answers on why he did what he did to MY husband!
The woman smirks. O’Malley stands behind her protectively and he breathes slowly.
Woman: Oh, how inconsiderate of me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Darcy Donohue. Pleasure to meet you, Alexis.
Darcy extends her hand, but Alexis glances down at her hand in disgust. She glares back up at Darcy and then back to O’Malley hoping to get some sort of acknowledgment out of him.
Alexis: The feeling isn’t mutual, Darcy. O’Malley, who the fuck is this chick? Where the hell have you been and WHY did you—
Darcy: So many questions in such a short amount of time, dear Alexis. Everything will be answered all in due time, I promise. O’Malley was doing what needed to be done. I’m sure you understand.
Alexis snarls as she turns her attention back to Darcy.
Alexis: Understand? You had him attack MY husband for no fucking reason. I sure as shit don’t understand, and no offense, but I’d like to hear O’Malley’s explanation.
Darcy smiles again. O’Malley blinks slowly, barely moving an inch as Alexis demands answers.
Darcy: Anything O’Malley has to say, I will say it for him. And the attack on Timothy did, indeed, have a reason. There is a reason for everything, Alexis.
Alexis: What the fuck happened to you, O’Malley?! Tim was pretty much a son to Misty! You remember her, right?! Your wife?!
You would think the mention of his late wife’s name would elicit some sort of reaction out of O’Malley, but it doesn’t. Not even a flinch. Not so much as an awkward breath.
Darcy: Misty is O’Malley’s past, dear Alexis. She’s dead and buried. You all should really follow in O’Malley’s footsteps and move on. There’s no use dwelling on the past.
Alexis: The..the past?! She was the mother of his son! Who the fuck are you?! O’Malley, I don’t know what this bitch did to your balls but—
Darcy suddenly takes Alexis by her throat and pins her against the wall. She squeezes and cuts off Alexis’ air supply as she glares into her eyes
Darcy: I’ve led him to his destiny. I pulled him out of the darkness and I’m leading him to greatness. You’d be wise to never speak that witch’s name ever again. Do you understand me?
Alexis tries to speak, but she can’t. Darcy releases just enough pressure.
Darcy: Do you understand?!
Alexis: Yes...I...under...stand.
Darcy then releases her hold on Alexis and Alexis falls to the floor, gasping for air.
Darcy: Good girl. Do pass along the message to your husband and the rest of his family. O’Malley, darling, let’s go.
She reaches behind her and takes O’Malley’s hand and the two walk away. Alexis watches with angry eyes as they disappear down a hall, and she holds her throat.

8 Person Tag Team Match
Fire Dragons and Killer Kandies vs GRIME
Liam: This next match is a 4 on 4 tag team match set for one fall!!!
[Flashes like cameras go across the stage and the audience as the sound accompanies it. “You should see me in a crown” by Billie Eilish begins on the PA as pure beauty walks through the curtains. Valentina and Kandy walk out fiest followed by Mark Cross and Jerry Cann.
Liam: Please welcome, on there way to the ring. The Killer Kandies Jerry and Kandy and the SCU Double Down Tag Team Champions… Valentina and Mark Cross… The Fire Dragons!!!
The music fades out.
Liam: And there opponents, Angel of Filth, SCU Underground Champion Javier Gonzalez and two masked members of GRIME.
The four come out to no music. Just the shower of boos as they make there way down to the ring.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Chad: Looks like Kandy Kaine and the female masked wrestler will start things off. Kandy and the masked wrestler tie up. The masked wrestler, overpowers Kandy as she body slams her to the mat. Kandy springs back up only to get knocked back down with a gut to the kick followed by a DDT!
Gena: The female wrestler grabs Kandy by her hair and forces her back to her feet. She forcefully sends Kandy to the ropes. Valentina makes a blind tag as Kandy bounces off the ropes. The masked wrestler hits a superkick knocking Kandy to the mat.
Chad: The masked wrestler sees Valentina get in the ring and heads to her corner. She tags in the male masked wrestler. Valentina runs in and spears the masked wrestler to the mat. The masked wrestler grabs the ropes forcing the break.
Gena: Valentina gets to her feet as does the masked man. Valentina goes for a missile dropkick but misses as he moves out of the way. He grabs Valentina as she gets to her feet and lifts her up and slams her with a sidewalk slam.
Chad: The masked man gets Valentina to her feet. Valentina quickly lays in a kick to the nuts! The masked man goes down… Valentina removes the hood and takes THE MASK OFF… It’s RORY ROCKEFELLER!!!
Gena: The female masked wrestler, Angel of Filth and Javi get in the ring and tackle Valentina to the mat. Jerry, Mark Cross and Kandy Kaine get in the ring…
Chad: Oh great, Hitamashi and Jacob Johnson lead the charge as more GRIME mask wrestlers rush down the rampway and get in the ring. They attack Jerry Cann, Mark Cross and Kandy Kaine!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Gena: The ref calls the match as he has lost control. Javi, Rory, join Jacob and Hitamashi attack Jerry and Mark Cross. The other female mask wrestlers join Angel of Filth as they stomp on Valentina as she stays balled up in the corner.
Chad: No security in site to stop this gang attack. Kandy gets thrown over the top ropes. Jerry and Mark also get thrown out. The women keep the attack on Valentina. Filth now starts to give out orders.
Gena: One of the masked women hands Filth a pair of brass knuckles. The ladies holds Valentina down as Filth gets on the top turnbuckle. Filth jumps off and lands fist to hand hitting Valentina with the brass knuckles. Valentina screams in pain. Filth grabs some of the masked wrestlers and force them away from Valentina as ringside medic Dr. Smith slides in the ring to check on her hand.
Chad: Looks like GRIME did what they came to do as they all start jumping the barricade and leaving through the crowd.
Gena: That was uncalled for I hope they leave and never come back.
The show switches to backstage where Dev is standing with Dahlia.
Dev: Please welcome my guest at this the Women’s television champion Dahlia Rotten, tonight Dahlia you defend your title against Merlot Ayano, in a submission match.
Dahlia: First just let me wish everyone watching a Happy Holidays, Season’s Greeting, Merry Christmas, or whatever folks say in this day and age.
Dev: So tonight, Merlot was victorious on Thanksgiving day show earning the right to face you for your title here tonight, you’ve faced her before and won, and tonight, you face here before and won and tonight is the match you consider your specialty, so how confident are you tonight.
Dahlia: I’m very confident, and yes submission matches are a favorite of mine.
Dev: People tend to overlook Merlot as a viable contender, what are your feelings towards Merlot.
Dahlia: Merlot is a very tough competitor, I face her before and she gave me one of the best matches I’ve had since I became television champion, I never overlook an opponent Dev, overlooking your opponent can lead to failure.
Dev: Well good luck tonight Dahlia.
Dahlia: Thanks Dev, and Merry Christmas.
The camera moves back to another conference room at the Golden Ring Casino where the awards are being held. Delia Darling and Mercedes Vargas return to the stage to a loud chorus of boos. They wave to the audience as if they are being cheered right now. They walk toward the podium with their envelopes in hand. They get to the podium and waste no time in stepping up to the microphone, with Mercedes taking the lead this time.
Mercedes: Sin City has gone through some major changes since it’s inception in late 2012. I’ve been around for a lot of things, but right now is the second most exciting time to be a Sin City fan. SCW and SCU are proud of their separate brands. SCW fosters stars, while SCU makes stars. And sometimes, the promotions cross paths. We’ve seen a number of excellent matches between stars of both brands. But one stood out more than any other in the eyes of the fans. The winner of Interbrand Match of the Year for 2019 is… Chanelle vs Amy Marshall Underground Ep 21 Tokyo, Japan!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Chad: These two have both worked inside of the SCW ring before, but at different times. Chanelle seems to have taken issue with Amy’s earlier statements as she bops her head from side to side, talking mess.
Gena: Amy’s done the job of getting inside of Chanelle’s head just perfectly then. As Chanelle is talking trash, Amy just smiles. Chanelle gets closer, and Amy rolls her up into an Armbar!
Chad: Chanelle shouts out in pain as she rises up to her feet. She hits a picture perfect Japanese Arm Drag that sends the crowd into a bit of a cheer. She bounces off of the ropes, coming at Amy.
Gena: But Amy drops down. As Chanelle passes her by, She gets up to her feet. She looks for a Crescent Kick, but Chanelle does a Matrix Evasion. Amy tries to catch her on the rebound, but Chanelle drops back onto her other arm.
Chad: Chanelle comes back up with a Pele Kick to Amy. Amy holds onto her chin, and Chanelle Leapfrogs over Amy and the ropes. She Shoulderbutt’s Amy through the ropes and comes over with a Sunset Flip pin!
One!
Two!
Gena: Amy claps her heels against Chanelle’s head and then flips her over into a pin of her own!
One!
Two!
Chad: Chanelle flips Amy back over onto her back and locks on the pin!
One!
Two!
Gena: But Amy reverses it once more, leaning forward more with her knees on Chanelle’s arms.
One!
Two!
Kickout!
Chad: Chanelle gets the shoulder up and rolls out from under Amy. She gets up to her feet and finds herself behind Amy. She rolls Amy up from behind and plants her feet on the ropes.
One!
Two!
Gena: Amy is struggling, but at the last second, the referee sees Chanelle’s feet and he scolds her. He’s like “Bitch, I see you tryna cheat!” If only it was the same referee as the Double Down Championship match, huh?
Chad: Chanelle argues with the referee as Amy catches her breath. Chanelle picks Amy off of the mat, but is still looking at the referee. She Irish Whip’s Amy into the ropes, and as Amy rebounds, she catches her with a Rear View!
Gena: Amy falls down to the mat and Chanelle flips her hair out of her face. She walks over to Amy and places a foot on her chest for a cocky pin!
One…
Two…
Kickout!
Chad: Amy’s a fierce competitor and an SCW Hall of Famer for fuckssake! You’re not going to put her away that easily, Chan.
Gena: Chanelle picks Amy up, but Amy shoves her to the side. She comes off of the ropes and hits a Rolling Senton Splash to Chanelle. She picks Chanelle up and looks around as the second home of Amy Marshall cheers for her.
Crowd: Punk Princess! Amy Marshall! Punk Princess! Amy Marshall!
Chad: Amy nods her head along with the cheers before dropping Chanelle with an Evenflow DDT. She hooks the leg.
One!
Two!
Thr-KICKOUT!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOH!!!
Gena: I thought Chanelle was a goner there, but she is set to show that SCU is not just a league of it’s own that can’t hang with other companies. We’re a style. Chanelle gets to her feet as she seems to finally be taking Amy more seriously.
Chad: She holds out her hand toward Amy for a second before flipping it around and telling her to “Come get some”! Amy nods her head as the two meet up in the middle of the ring in a giant slug fest!
Gena: This isn’t even a catfight. This is like two angry dudes fighting over a piece of land, or a dead buck or something! They are not holding back, and they seem very evenly matched.
Chad: Chanelle gets in a cheap shot as she sneaks in an eye poke to Amy. The referee doesn’t see it, unlike the feet on the ropes earlier, but the crowd saw it. Amy holds onto her face as Chanelle whips her to the corner.
Gena: A few solid kicks to Amy’s midsection, and a few stomps later, and Amy is down in the corner. Chanelle grinds her hips as she signals for her patented Ridin’ Yo Face (Bronco Buster)! She charges at Amy!
Chad: But Amy rolls out of the way, and Chanelle is Ridin’ Yo Turnbuckle instead! She holds onto her… lower lady bits as she stumbles out of the corner. The crowd laughs at her as Amy signals something.
Gena: Chanelle’s feeling like she just got out of a bad back alley gynecology appointment, and Amy is sizing her up. Chanelle takes a few deep breaths as she turns around, and... Bad Girl (Double Knee Facebreaker)!!!!! It’s the Bad Girl Breaker!!!
Crowd: *SUPER MEGA POP!*
Chad: Amy rolls Chanelle off of her and over onto her back. She hooks the leg and raises a finger with each count by the referee!
ONE!
TWO!
THREEEEEE!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Here is your winner of the contest via pinfall… “The Punk Princess” Amy Marshalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!
The screen fades back to Mercedes and Delia, who clap their hands together softly as the audience cheers for the replay of the match. Upon ending, Delia steps to the microphone with her envelope in hand.
Delia: Z’ere is no accounting for taste… Now, behind every great wrestler is a great manager. Z’e Mean Girls would not have been nearly as successful if it were not for Angelica, who is clearly z’e winner of z’e 2019 Manager of z’e Year, no?
Crowd: Boooooooooooo!!!
Delia: Ha, of course she is. But, formalities…
Mercedes glares at an unsuspecting Delia at the mention and accreditation of Angelica. Delia takes her time, gently tearing apart the edge of the envelope. She slides the card out even more dramatically as she pulls out the card. Her big smile fades as she looks at the card and she sighs.
Delia: Your winner… Real Killaz MMA Gym…
Crowd: *MEGA POP!*
We see SCU Spokeswoman Donna Beauchamp appear on the SCUTron. Due to travel issues, SCU Combat Champion Kelli Torres was not able to make it today. She was upset when I was talking to her on the phone as she really wanted to be here today. She as well as the Reall Killaz MMA Gym will be here next week to receive the award.
Delia again slowly claps her hands together with Mercedes doing the same. As the SCUTron turns off, she pulls forward another envelope.
Delia: Z’is year in SCU, we saw many moments z’at made us say “What z’e holy fucking shit?!” 2019 had some of z’e most insane action, inside and outside of z’e ring. Z’e action isn’t necessarily contained between z’e bells, while os’ers highlight z’e matches itself. Let us now find out z’e winner of 2019 “WTF/Holy Shit Moment of z’e Year”...
Delia opens the envelope and reads it carefully.
Delia: Ahuevo unmasks himself to reveal he was Javier Gonzales all along!
"Sueltate y Toma" as Ahuevo takes up his Combat Championship. He holds it up with one arm as he leans against the ropes. He takes a microphone as he breathes heavily into the microphone as the fans cheer for him. He even goes as far as to let out an exasperated cry into the microphone as he leans over.
Ahuevo: Ay mios dios! I can't believe I actually just secured the first championship legacy for Ahuevo in the SCU history books! I wasn't about to be no fluke champion who wins one week and loses the next, so I had to be sure.
Ahuevo sniffles as he takes in another deep breath. He looks down at John Blade as the medical team assists him. Ahuevo steps back so not to get in the way.
Ahuevo: I did it! As much as I respect Eric Weaver and John Blade, I did it! I really did it! I'm the real SCU Combat Champion. And I couldn't do it without each and every one of you.
Ahuevo reaches up and wipes at the eyes of his mask. He lets out an exasperated sob again as he stumbles around the ring, pointing to all of the fans, and then even down to John Blade. He tries to touch at Blade, but the medical team backs him off. He holds his hands up apologetically as he goes to a clear end of the ring as the clear Blade out of the ring.
Ahuevo: You all cheered me. You love me. You really, really love me! So much so that you vatos was booing John Blade. John Motherfucking Blade? It's unbelievable to me. It just goes to prove to me that I…
Ahuevo sucks in a breath and sobs as he leans in and pulls his mask part way up. The crowd cheers.
Ahuevo: I…
Ahuevo lifts the mask up the rest of the way and holds the mask in his hand. Standing in the center of the ring is... Javier Gonzalez! The crowd gets quiet s Javier breathes heavily despite the massive smile on his face.
Javier: I got you motherfuckers.... Ahahaha! I pulled it over each and every one of you!
Javier laughs as he puts the mask in his top. He looks around at the crowd who begins to boo loudly.
Javier: Not just tonight. Not just the last few weeks. The whhhhollllllle fuuuuuuckin' time brooooooo... It was easy too because no one wanted to believe that the kid no one gave a second look to for a fucking year came out and started calling out the SCU champions could actually win it. The deplorable man who attacked the good guy couldn't have possibly paid some dude to wear a mask and take a culo kicking a couple times right? Well here's your proof, hombre. Stand a little taller, put a little booster in the heel of your boot and bam, you're a totally different person, right? I outsmarted all of you, and now I stand here with two championships, the first man to do that. I went from a nothing, a nobody, to the male Kelli Torres, bro. Whatcha?
Javier flicks the microphone over his shoulder and "Sueltate y Toma" plays over the speakers and Javier walks up the ramp. However, backstage, Eric Weaver is seen being held back by Dying Breed and Casey Williams, the head of the security team, as he growls and shouts out, trying to get to ringside area. Javier looks up at the display and he starts laughing at the reaction as if he didn't expect it to be that heavy. He shakes his head and continues up the ramp.
Mercedes and Delia look to one another, looking impressed. They give it a moment to sink in with the fans, who are still buzzing about that very moment. Mercedes then steps to the microphone with another envelope in hand.
Mercedes: A moment is just a moment, and while that one moment can linger in the back of our minds for a long time, it remains just what it is. However, some things require a length of time to impress us. This category is “Story of the Year”, and there are so many of them in SCU, from the formation of GRIME to The New Foundation’s monopoly on the championship scene. But one moment stands out above all else, so 2019’s winner of “Story of the Year” goes to…
Mercedes opens the card and stares at it for a second. Delia looks at it in shock and she growls and turns away from the card in disgust.
Mercedes: Le Coven’s undefeated streak!
Mercedes slams the card down on the podium and slaps the top of it and turns away like it doesn’t exist. “Cupid Carries A Gun” plays on the speakers as Delia and Mercedes go to leave the area, knowing what might happen if they don’t. However, instead of coming through the curtains as expected, Le Coven rushes up from behind and Jenifer spins Mercedes around as Celeste rushes up on Delia. They lift their respective foes up for Le Coven Bombs in stereo!
Crowd: *MEGA POP!*
Celeste and Jenifer stare down at Mercedes and Delia, rolling them off of the stage. They dust their hands off and then high five one another, clasping hands. They walk over to the podium and pick up their award and Celeste leans into the microphone.
Celeste: Thanks for the award…
The crowd cheers and laughs as they raise up the award before taking off as security floods the stage to chase them off.
The cameras go backstage as The Monstimals are standing with their belts around their shoulders as Henry has the microphone in his left hand. The fans boo them as Samuel and Lord Raab smile, enjoying the jeers they get from the crowd each time they appear on camera. Something was on Henry's mind as to what was said last week from Tatsu especially as Henry speaks about what was said.
Henry Losak: "Before I get into the main topic tonight, let's talk about Tatsu saying Lord Raab's cousin is like watching Lord Raab in a hardcore match? I've heard dumb things before, but that's the dumbest shit I've heard. I don't know anything about Jake, but they are nothing like each other. Lord Raab wants to be hardcore all the time and has no care in the world for teaming with a woman, always being a piece of shit. Jake is the complete opposite from what I've seen and heard, and I've only met the guy once. How I look forward to Lord Raab especially ripping you apart for your dumb comment because Lord Raab's hardcore wrestling is special, not compared to a lady like yourself who doesn't stand a chance against Lord Raab."
That once being at the Hall Of Fame ceremony when Jake along with Henry and Samuel were on stage, inducting Lord Raab into it. Lord Raab got in front of the camera and slashed his left hand across his throat, but Samuel pats him on the shoulder to relax, and Raab stands back next to Samuel for Henry to continue talking.
Henry Losak: "Also if Raab or Samuel weren't anything special in hardcore matches as a team, why haven't Tatsu or Winter stepped up to The Monstimals yet? Seems like your too scared to face them to me and if you're still going to talk shit, at least make a god damn point you want to fight them. They've been waiting for months to face you both for the titles, and yet, you still haven't set a date for it to happen. Raab and Samuel are always ready to beat the pair of you down to the ground whenever you bitches have the guts to fight them or rather when you feel like you want to earn them, as The Good Shepherds have."
Henry breathes for a while, letting Raab and Samuel soak in the jeers the fans have against them as they loved being hated as a team, especially the amount of defences they've had and Henry speaks again.
Henry Losak: "I know, we've beaten this time before, but at least they are willing to step up to get their ass beaten once again tonight, especially in the case of them earning their shots against Raab and Samuel. No doubt they gave us a hard test, much like they were given at the pre-show, but Raab and Samuel overcame the odds stacked against them and still retained their titles. They look forward to seeing what changes you guys may have made for the match, and I'm sure Tatsu and Winter will watch these two monsters dominate and hurt Father Gerald and Brother David once again to retain their titles against these tough, gutsy bastards. Raab and Samuel will send Tatsu and Winter a message they'll never forget without saying a damn word because they are Hardcore Tag champions and have beaten every team they've faced and they are undefeated as well."
Constantly reminding everyone of The Monstimals dominance got the fans to boo harder than before as Raab and Samuel raise their titles above their heads as bragging rights they've earned and Henry speaks once more,
Henry Losak: "Father Gerald and Brother David may have earned their title shots, but Raab and Samuel will still throw them around like two ragdolls. They will treat them like their bitch with weapons everywhere in the arena, even outside in the streets because there's one thing all the other teams lack, hunger and passion for the hardcore tag titles. They will do anything in their power to retain the Hardcore tag title belts as they always do because The Monstimals were born to be hardcore wrestlers as a team and that will continue throughout their time in SCU. Prepare to be dominated by The Monstimals, Father Gerald and Brother David because you will get another beating of a lifetime."
Before they leave, Lord Raab and Samuel McPherson hold their title belts in the air on camera. They walk towards the curtain to be called out to the ring as the cameras go back at ringside for The Monstimals and The Good Shephards Falls Count Anywhere Match for the Hardcore Tag titles to begin tonight.
Merlot: Keep fighting―
Merlot is seated inside of a gymnasium.
Merlot: Is what family taught Merlot.
It’s a relatively busy day at the gym. The sounds of heavy-bag work are the most distinct. Even still, the camera stays focused on Ms. Aynao.
Merlot: It’s what Sensei Aimi taught me.
She nods her head as the camera zooms in on her.
Merlot: And is what’s going through mind as Merlot prepare for Sin City Underground Television Championship match.
She cracks the knuckles in her right hand as she tilts her head and looks into the camera’s lens.
Merlot: Know what Dahlia is thinking. Thinking match will be cake-walk. Said as much a few weeks ago. And while frustrated Merlot at the time, is hard to blame Dahlia. Dahlia one of SCU’s best champions. Strong. Dominant. And most important, beat Merlot once for championship.
There was a pause.
Merlot: Why would outcome be any different? Hai?
Her own words gave her even more pause.
Merlot:Why would outcome be any different than any championship match Merlot had in SCU?
She lets out a sigh.
Merlot: Time after time, Merlot walk out and leave heart out in ring. And time and time again, Merlot’s heart get stepped on. Is frustrating. It hurts. But won’t let that pain break Merlot.
She nods.
Merlot: Merlot’s whole career has revolved around enduring pain. Endured great pain to train and as Joshi Exit Exams. Endured great pain from jealous wrestlers in Japan. Was intentionally injured by wrestler and had to rehab. Had to listen to people trash Merlot’s name. Had to listen to people trash family name. Had to endure company after company abuse and mistreat Merlot. Had to endure harsh ridicule…
Merlot: But Merlot still here.
A moment goes by as Merlot thinks to herself.
Merlot:Dahlia? Merlot asked why outcome would be different this time. Answer is that Merlot have nothing to lose.
Another head nod results.
Merlot: The SCU Underground Championship was taken away from Merlot, twice. The television championship was taken away. Was all taken away—
Merlot:But Merlot still standing. Merlot still ready to fight.
A second or two passes.
Merlot: Am no fool. Merlot realize will probably be last chance if fail. Am willing to accept that. And because of that, is no other option than to go all out. And that is much dangerous for Dahlia.
She nods her head. And for a moment, it looks as if Merlot has something else to say. However, she elects not to. Instead, Merlot gets up out of her seat and walks away. The camera fades out shortly after.
