Sin City Underground Ep 125: Blaze of Glory Pre-Show
Los Angeles, California - Galen Center
Sin City Underground Ep 125: Blaze of Glory Pre-Show comes to you taped in front of a limited live audience of 60% capacity, wearing face masks and social distancing between groups, at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California This episode will air on WGN and the Sin City Network at 11:59pm PST on Sunday, March 20th, 2022.
The scene opens backstage, where we see Amy sitting in the quietest part of the building as she appears zoned out as she listens to music as she gets in the right mind frame for the big match. A voice clears their throat but is ignored and instead the person steps into view and places a hand on Amy’s shoulder, which Amy opens her eyes and looks up.
Amy: Hi.
Amy blinks.
Joshua: how is your preparation going?
Joshua queries as Amy removes the ear bugs and presses pause.
Amy: Fine. But why are you here?
Amy queries.
Joshua: I just want you to know that I will make sure that no-one sticks their nose in where they shouldn’t and call what I see. I will be fair.
Joshua assures Amy.
Amy: I trust you. Just make sure Winter and Mercedes don’t pull any stupid stunts.
Amy says with a smile.
Joshua: I will. Good luck Ames.
Joshua places a hand on her shoulder once more before walking off leaving Amy along once more as she lets out a small sign before looking up and into the camera.
Amy: I bet every single one of you are rubbing your hands with glee… especially Halo and Kandy getting a second chance because someone who is… what I am guessing is jealous… couldn’t help themselves poke their nose into my shit. I won’t be addressing Winter any more… I need to focus on the task at hand. Firstly Halo and Kandy I apologise for what happened last week, we all got screwed over, but I won’t be apologising for what will be happening tonight. I have all this pent-up energy and frustration that I can’t seem to shift and unfortunately for you it will all be released on you and everyone else.
Going into this match… you two along with Esher are the weakest links in this match. I have beaten all three of you in some shape and form and you will be getting beat again. I have all your numbers and you can’t do anything about it. I will always kick your sad pathetic little asses around the ring and outside the ring and whatever the match. You are no threat to me.
But I am not forgetting about you Linnea or Tatsu. You two are my biggest threats in this match not because you have held championships before but the fact that I have never face you before and that’s my biggest dilemma in this match. Unlike the rest of the idiots in this match, I have to take you a little more seriously, however, I have every confidence in my ability that I can beat you two… it may take a bit of time to dispatch you two from this match, but I will get the job done and I will walk away at the GRIME champion.
Now I may get a sense that you think that I might get a helping hand from Joshua who is the special guest enforcer, but I have known Joshua for a very long time and I trust him and he will be fair and make sure that no-one pulls something stupid. I have every faith him to do what is right.
Tonight I will be recrowned the GRIME champion and holding onto the title for another 100+ days.
Amy smirks before returning her earbuds before sitting back and pressing play and takes the few extra minutes to focus and get ready. The scene fades out on Amy as she closes her eyes and lets out a sigh.
The cameras go into the hallway where a Blaze of Glory X banner is hanging. We see Jenifer Lacroix and Celeste standing in front of it. Next to them, we see backstage interviewer Dev Khatri. He brings the microphone to his mouth.
Dev: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to Blaze of Glory X. Later tonight, we will see Jenifer Lacroix in action defending her SCU Combat Championship against Winter Elemental. Now, I’m not here to rehash your “What’re You Gagnon?” segment where you said you were going to make Winter Elemental your bitch.
Celeste: That’s the understatement of the century.
Jenifer: No. I said that Winter would regret challenging me, and that she would cry in front of her mama. I never said she would be my bitch. That’s what Celeste is for.
Celeste rolls her eyes and sighs before glaring over at Jenifer. The two laugh it off.
Dev: We’re looking forward to seeing that, or… the alternative. Now, Lexa announced early last week with the reveal of the pre-show card that 2 Broke Chicks would not be facing one, not two, but three teams tonight. And better yet, it would be three lethal lottery teams.
Celeste: Yep, and she asked me to pull the teams from the barrel at random. And, I miss getting paid to be here, so…
Celeste smirks, and Dev chuckles.
Dev: Good one. So, shall we start the festivities?
Celeste nods as she gives the crank on the barrel a few turns, letting the balls mix up before reaching in. She grabs two balls out and looks at them for a second before turning them to the camera.
Celeste: First up, we’ve got Joshua Acquin and Kelli Torres. That one should be interesting.
Dev: We might have new GRIME Tag Team Champions!
Celeste gives the barrel another few spins, looking away as she hums. After the last spin, she reaches inside and grabs one ball, and then another. Looking at them, smiles, and she then turns them to the camera.
Celeste: Jamie Staggs and Celeste North…
Jenifer nods and both former Le Coven members high five.
Dev: That’s amazing! We get to see you in action tonight! But… why are you excited to team with Jamie Staggs? He’s…
Celeste: A former Underground Champion? That sounds like a freaking party to me. And with a good partner, who is to say that Jamie won’t win the GRIME Tag Team Championships? Especially with someone who was a card carrying GRIME member?
Celeste and Jenifer give each other a look as the crowd gives a loud, but mixed reaction. They chuckle again before Celeste goes to churn the barrel again. However, she is interrupted by the sound of sniffling. She looks off camera before the view switches to see Jamie standing there with a Batman lunchbox in his hand, and a tissue wiping at his eyes with the other.
Jamie: I’m sorry. I never heard anyone say such nice things about me before. Usually people suddenly get depressed and threaten to kill themselves, or they say they left their ovens on, and then I get jealous because they got hotel rooms with ovens, like the fancy rooms you can live in for a while, because they have stuff like fridges and ovens and microwaves, because people sometimes live in them…
Celeste walks over and grabs onto Jamie’s arm, bringing him over toward the barrel. She and Jenifer lean in a give Jamie a kiss on each cheek. Jamie begins to kick his foot around like Thumper before falling back against the wall, swooning. Celeste then reaches into the barrel and pulls out two balls to reveal the names “Skag” and “Dahlia Rotten”. The crowd gives off a loud but mixed reaction, cheering for Dahlia and booing for Skag. Just then, Orchid walks by.
”Orchid”: Oh man, I was hoping that my name would get pulled out of the barrel. I would love to have a chance to win the GRIME Tag Team Championships at the biggest SCW show of the year, Blaze of Glory.
Orchid pauses as the crowd pops.
”Orchid”: And with a partner like Jamie Staggs? You’re so, lucky, Celeste.
Celeste nods her head and then taps at her chin. She then gasps as if she has a bright idea.
Celeste: Orchid… you and I go way back to the days of Honor Wrestling where we teamed up against Song and Tatsu Ikeda… And then that whole masked GRIME thing we had going on… You know what? Why don’t you take my spot and team with Jamie?
Orchid gets excited and smiles, as if to wait for Celeste to say she’s joking. When she doesn’t, she hugs Celeste, and then walks over to Jamie, who is just recovering from the ambush of lips from moments ago. Orchid then kisses him on the cheek and he falls back onto the wall as Orchid drags Jamie toward the curtains for the start of the match as the fans cheer.

2 Broke Chicks Vs Jamie Staggs & Orchid Vs Skag & Dahlia Rotten Vs Kelli Torres & Joshua Acquin
2 Broke Chicks Vs Jamie Staggs & Orchid
Joshua and Skag both exit the ring, bringing tables inside of the ring. They look across the ring at one another, until Jamie Staggs rushes at Skag. Jane joins in and helps to beat on Skag while Chi Chi and Dahlia go over to begin kicking at Joshua and the table. Kelli and Orchid begin trading combat style punches. Chi Chi and Dahlia whip Joshua across the ring, just as Jamie and Jane whip Skag right into him. They collapse to the ground. Chi Chi turns and punches Dahlia in the back of the head, coming off the ropes to hit a Bulldog, but Dahlia catches Chi Chi and then tosses her. Jane rushes Jamie into the table. She and Jane pick Dahlia up and send her toward Jamie, against the table in the corner. Orchid rolls through and grabs Jamie to stop him from going through the table, and Dahlia stops herself at the very last second. She turns around and sees Kelli coming for a Spear, but Dahlia moves, grabbing onto Kelli and sending her into the table. It cracks, but doesn’t break entirely. Skag sends Joshua at her, and the two go through the table. Joshua Acquin and Kelli Torres have been eliminated. Jane and Chi Chi load the ring with seven more tables before getting back inside. Orchid stomps on Chi Chi as Jane tries to block kicks from Dahlia. Jamie does airplane motions around the ring before picking up a table and setting it up. He calls for Orchid, who drags Chi Chi over toward the table. They hoist Chi Chi up onto the table. Dahlia comes toward them, and Orchid jumps onto Dahlia’s back and climbs up. She goes to steady herself on her shoulders, but Dahlia grabs onto her leg and walks over to the table for an Electric Chair Drop through the table, but Orchid does a Victory Roll, but rolls out of the pin portion. Skag comes out of nowhere with a chair and swings it at Jamie, and then smacks Jane, who was coming for the save on Chi Chi. He sets the chair on top of Chi Chi and climbs the nearest corner. Orchid is about to rush him, but she stops. Skag stares at her, questioningly for a second before turning to see Javier Gonzalez and Omasa Tazu behind him. Javi grabs onto his throat and Omasa helps to drag him off the corner. Omasa does a Powerbomb on Skag onto the table, and Javi finishes him off with a leaping leg drop through the table! Skag and Dahlia Rotten have been eliminated! Angel of Filth comes rushing down to ringside with her Underground Championship on her shoulder. It drops as Javi and Omasa meet her and begin brawling on the outside. Jamie starts to crawl over toward the ropes to pull himself up, but he finds himself distracted by the fight outside. Omasa sets up a table as Javi is about to put Filth through it. However, Filth punches him in the face and tries to escape. Jamie gets up, stomping his feet at the lack of a body going through the table. That gives Chi Chi the cue to get up and grab onto Jamie’s head, kicking him multiple times in the gut before climbing through the ropes with Jamie. She does a Bulldog through the table! 2 Broke Chicks retain their GRIME Tag Team Championships.
Outside the Galen Center, in the parking lot is the Jeckel family traveling freak show, inside one of the trailers, Dev is with the Jeckels.
Dev: I’m here with the Jeckels and Raisa, tonight your titles are on the line in two separate matches, first Jack and Helena let me start with you tonight you defend your Pride tag team champions against Javier and Omasa, are you ready to face them?
Jack: Mr. Dev we are always prepared to fight any opponent that SCU wishes us to fight, Javier and Omasa, were once our allies within GRIME, but now they come to try and take what we hold dear, our tag team champions.
Helena: Mr. Dev, it is always delightful to see you, tonight N.F.G, will try and defeat us for our tag team titles but they are unprepared for what we must do to retain our, it is regretful but they have written the orders we must follow.
Raisa: Tonight, Javier and Omasa have entered a fight they will be unable to win.
Dev: Jake, also tonight you defend your combat title against Andrew Borg in a boxing match, do you have any prior boxing experience to combat Andrew.
Jake: Mr. Dev your are obvious unaware of our history, for nearly nine hundred we have been the defenders of our homeland, and we have fought many enemies, a Jeckel is always prepared to fight any enemy, and my prior fight experience will overcome Mr. Borg, it is written so it shall be done.

Misty O’Malley’s Battle Royal - GRIME Championship Match
Tatsu Ikeda Vs Kandy Kaine Vs Amy Santino Vs Halo Annis Vs Linnea Lacroix Vs Esther Azarov
Tatsu charges at Kandy as the two chain wrestle. Tatsu hits a German Suplex, holding onto Kandy and lifting her back up. Tatsu goes for a Snap Suplex, but Kandy hooks her leg around Tatsu and then charges her into the corner where she brings Tatsu down with a Monkey Flip. Halo and Linnea struggle back and forth with Esther and Amy, trading wild punches. Esther ducks a punch from Linnea, and then gets behind her, taking her down with a Rear Naked Choke. Halo is about to break it up, but Amy spins her around and hits an Eye Poke, and then she goes to drop Halo with an Evenflow DDT. But Halo lifts Amy up and over onto the apron. She nails a few good punches, sending Amy off of the apron. She turns around, not seeing that Amy landed on one foot. She hops around until she crawls back onto the apron, sliding back inside underneath the ropes. She hits a low Knee Block to Halo, taking her down. With Linnea out, Esther lifts her up and struggles to lift her up and over. She gets her on the top rope, and tries to dump her, but Halo grabs at her leg, stalling while Amy stomps on her.Kandy whips Tatsu across the ring, right into Amy. This gives Halo the chance to get up and club Esther. She dumps Esther onto the apron, taking Linnea with her in the process. Linnea hits rapid elbows into Esther’s chest, and then rams a knee into her face. Esther holds onto the ropes. As Linnea kicks her in the stomach, she goes down, just in time for Tatsu and Kandy to rush at them, knocking her off of the apron. Linnea Lacroix has been eliminated! Kandy, however, lifts Tatsu up and over, on top of Esther, who finishes dumping her off! Tatsu Ikeda has been eliminated! Kandy jumps up and down in celebrating, squealing and clapping before Esther reaches inside, grabbing Kandy by the hair. Amy stumbles over and helps to lift Kandy up and over. Kandy Kaine has been eliminated! Esther gets inside, not trusting Amy. Amy assures her and points over to Halo, who is using the corner to pull herself up from the mat. Both charge at Halo, smashing her into the corner. She punches back, and nailing both opponents hard, but soon, they overpower her. She goes down, getting stomped on. However, she rolls under the ropes. As she gets up, she sets Amy up into the Hung Out To Dry (Tarantula). Amy comes over to break it up, but Halo lets go, and drags Esther up and over, to the arena floor. Esther Azarov has been eliminated. Amy and Halo will now compete in a Ladder Match. Halo slides outside and picks up a ladder. As Esther tries to charge her, Halo swings the ladder, narrowly missing Esther, who points up to the GRIME Championship hanging above the ring, and then to her waist. She slowly steps backward, allowing Amy time to launch outside with a Vaulting Body Press. Both ladies lie there for a moment. Halo gets up first and dumps Amy off of her. She pulls herself up and slides the ladder inside of the ring. She gets inside and starts to set up the ladder. Amy gets up and gets inside. Halo starts to climb the ladder, getting just a few rungs from the top. She reaches up toward the belt as she steps up one more. Amy sees this, and musters up every bit of energy as she charges up it and picks Halo up for a Powerbomb! And she nails it! But now, both competitors are reeling from it. Halo holds her back in pain as Amy breathes heavily on the mat. Amy’s breaths heave as Halo rolls over onto her stomach as she tries to get to her feet, but instead she collapses. Amy grabs onto the back of her tights as she tries to pull herself back up. Halo stands up on the ladder, steadying herself. Amy gets to her feet, and Halo instantly shoves her right into the ladder. Amy holds onto it to stop it from falling as Halo dives off of the slanted ladder, right at Amy! Oh, but Amy ducks, and Halo collides hard with the ladder. Amy leans against the ropes as she urges Halo back to her feet. Halo gets up and swings the ladder right at Amy, but Amy ducks. Amy grabs onto the ladder as neither one wants to let go. They both tug on it, but neither will give an inch. They get it centered, and Amy darts up the ladder, causing Halo to go right after her. They both brawl at the top of the ladder. Amy pounds Amy’s head against the top as Amy slumps over. Halo goes to unbuckle the belts, but Amy shoots up with an Uppercut that knocks Halo off of the ladder. She reaches up and unlatches the belt, dropping down to the mat. Amy Santino is your NEW GRIME Champion! Amy lies there, breathing heavily as she slowly brings the belt to her chest, hugging onto it as Halo settles into the corner, also breathing heavily as we fade elsewhere.
The preshow cuts backstage to Chelsea LeClair who is sitting on the back of an ambulance. She appears to be expressing some sort of regret or discomfort on her face as she thinks about the whole entire situation regarding Veronica Taylor. There is definitely some frustration coming from her considering the seemingly endless war that she has had to endure. But, nonetheless, she is keeping her spirits up to the best of her ability as she begins to express her thoughts.
Chelsea: I never, EVER wanted it to come down to this. EVER! All I wanted to do was prove myself in Sin City Underground by facing and defeating someone like Veronica Taylor and all this has led to is a months long game of chickenshit. Every single time that I THINK I am going to finish it, some other kind of nonsense happens whether it’s Veronica using her divorce to duck out of our match at Inception or whether it’s the shit that happened last week. I HOPE, I REALLY HOPE, that tonight this FINALLY ends. I say “hope” because you never know. Veronica has done nothing but completely drag this out much to my amazed annoyance and I will say for a fact that I am NOT going to tolerate this going on much longer. Believe me, there has been anger that has been flowing through me for months because of you, Veronica. I am generally going to be a kind hearted person that just wants to go out there and prove herself… but what your antics have done is really push me…
It’s pushed me to a level that I never want to go do…
Let me just say for a fact that I REGRET that it has come down to a match where it can only end by medical stoppage. I regret that in order for me to finish this, I have to put you in this damn ambulance. I never, ever wanted it to get this far. But YOU, Veronica? YOU are the one that pushed it this far.
I don’t WANT to do this. I don’t want to have to hurt you or even jeopardize your career. However, with the shit that you’ve pulled for months and with the stipulation that is at hand, I am afraid that I have no other choice but to take things to a level that I never wanted to get to. Don’t get me wrong, I AM capable of thriving in this kind of match and everything, but the fact of the matter is, I’d rather not resort to the violence that I am going to have to resort to. If you don’t think I am capable of such violence, and this goes for everyone else on the roster, than you don’t really know what I can do.
I’m not just some prissy, uppity prom queen that grew up wanting to become a television star. I am not someone like you anymore. I used to be shallow like you. I used to care way more about how I looked and whether there was going to be a Hollywood agent saving me from this business rather than doing whatever it is that I needed to do to become a star in this business. The scary and sad thing, Veronica, is that there was a point earlier in my career where I would’ve fit in with someone like you. I probably could’ve been a Mean Girl in my own right if I joined SCW or SCU in 2016 and not the company that I started at when I first went mainstream at that time. But thankfully? This is NOT the case. Unlike YOU, I grew up. Unlike YOU, I evolved. What’s your chickenshit excuse going to be this time, Veronica? That you broke a nail? This type of cowardice that you have shown over the last few months is exactly why I can’t STAND bitches like you anymore and why I was disgusted that I ever WAS someone like you. I don’t give a fuck about your “pretty face”... which by the way has more plastic in it than the entirely of SILICON VALLEY… I don’t give a crap about your well-being at this point. I’m going to win this match and END THIS because I am going to do the one thing that you refuse to do and that’s whatever it fucking takes to beat me. There’s no more running, Veronica.
Tonight? You FINALLY get the fate you deserve, I finally put you behind me and I finally get to move forward and continue to prove myself as one of THE rising stars in Sin City Underground.
Unlike YOU? I’m going to show tonight that I’m NOT just a pretty face…
…hell… you aren’t even THAT anymore…
Chelsea delivers a scoff as she slides off of the ambulance and deliberately leaves the doors of it open. There is a mannequin lying on a stretcher with a sign that says “VERONICA” on it. The shot focuses on Chelsea’s subtle prediction of Veronica’s future before it fades to black.

Pride Tag Team Championship Match
The Jeckels (Jack and Helena) Vs No Fucks Given
Jack and Javi start things off, going back and forth with a series of punches. Each one rocks the other, and the fans cheer for the exchange. However, Jack buries his knuckles into Javi’s stomach, and nails a headbutt that drops him to his knees. He exposes his injuries from last week at the hands of Angel of Filth and Skag, holding his ribs. He then spins an elbow right to Javi’s face. He sends Javi into his corner, following up with a Clothesline, but Javi ducks, causing Jack to nail Helena. He tries to slow down, but he can’t stop himself fully. Javi nails a Dropkick to Jack’s back, sending him onto the apron. Helena slides inside as Omasa climbs in. The two circle each other as Helena dives at Omasa for a tie up. Omasa shoves Helena’s hands to the side and nails her with alternating kicks to the ribs, followed up by a Yakuza Kick. Helena rolls to the outside as Omasa grabs Jack and drags him in through the ropes. She places him in the Tonga Grip, but the referee calls it off. She lets go just before the 5 count. This gives Helena enough time to slide back inside and she hits a German Suplex. She then hits a Split Leg Moonsault and gets a two count. Omasa rakes Helena’s eyes and then drags her to her feet. She goes for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Helena dives through it and tags Jack back in. Omasa tags Javi in. Javi dives at Jack, but Jack moves. Javi swings Jack into the corner. He Spears Jack into the corner, and then hits a few shoulderbutts, looking to start the Javi Bux. He backs away after a few and does a Handspring Back Elbow, but Jack isn’t there, instead finding himself victim to the cracking of a violin over his head, delivered by Skag. No Fucks Given wins via disqualification. The Jeckels retain. Omasa sees Filth just as she swings a chair, and Omasa ducks it. Helena catches Omasa with a Superkick, and then Filth hits Omasa with a chair. Skag begins stomping on Javi, along with Jack. They send Javi into the ropes, and as he comes back, they nail a Double Hiptoss. They celebrate together.
We cut to the back, inside of Rory’s Tavern. A huge portion of the locker room is seen surrounding the bar. We notice that there is a clearing near the jukebox to the left of the screen. In the clearing, we see Mz Holly Wood with a quarter in her hand. The crowd shouts out song suggestions until Holly hears what she wants. She drops the quarter and selects the song. “Milkshake” by Kelis begins playing.
Holly: Come on, babies. Join mama on the floor…
Kelli first approaches, moving to the center of the floor. She pops and locks to the beat. Gianni begins cheering Kelli on, and she “tosses the rope” around Gianni, pulling him in. Chi Chi and Jane take to the floor next. They turn around and twerk, really getting the crowd around going and cheering.
Esther: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait… Check this.
Esther drops it down to the ground, holding onto her ankles, she raises that thang up, twerking to the beat. Chi Chi and Jane cheer her on as the three continue twerking together. This gets Chi Chi and Jane to hoop and holler, getting Esther in on it too. Halo and Linnea point and laugh as well. Kandy comes in next, dropping it down, and popping back to her feet. She does this quickly, and just to the beat. She then shimmies around the three ladies twerking. Mrs Right comes from out of the crowd next and sways her hips back and forth before bending over and showing the ladies what a muscly twerk looks like, getting her own set of cheers. Holly snaps her fingers and shouts out a loud “YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS!”
Holly: Body positivity up in here! Come on baby! Bring all dat beautiful azz on the floor!
Holly points right at Dahlia Rotten, who shakes her head, seeming almost bashful. Holly drags her by her arm onto the floor as everyone chants her name. Dahlia shakes her head, but then she drops it down to the ground and moves her legs in and out, feeling herself before rising back to her feet. She looks to Esther and Jane, giving a nod. They help her go vertical against the wall. She twerks her backside, getting the crowd roaring. She then flips forward and falls into a splits position!
Holly: BAM! All that sexy up in here. C’mon, Halo! Linnea! Merlot!
Halo puts her arms out to her sides and joins the ladies on the floor. She gets into a three point stance, and then pops it up and shakes it next to Chi Chi as everyone cheers. Merlot looks bashful, but joins the floor, moving to the music. The crowd cheers as the ladies finish off the song. Holly claps her hands and gives hugs to all of the ladies.
Holly: That was the bomb dot com, ladies. Thank you for helping me celebrate Ladies Hour with half price drinks for all the ladies.
Before Holly can finish her speech, Angel of Filth walks in with her Underground Championship on her shoulder. She puts her thumbs in her belt loops and snorts, spitting to the ground.
Filth: This is the roster that I am supposed to be the leader of? Tough lady combatants? Giving Javi something to jerk off later?
Javi pokes his head from behind the bar along with his iPhone recording the dancing.
Javier: Later? Watchu mean “later”.
Javi winks at Dahlia. Filth rolls her eyes and grunts.
Filth: You are fucking pathetic. Every single one of you. And this is why we can’t be taken seriously.
Everyone begins to throw cups and trash at Filth, showing her the same level of disrespect she was showing them. Once they see that this isn’t affecting her much, they slowly begin to disperse. Holly gives Filth a dirty look, the last to leave. Filth turns around and takes the leftover drinks from the bar and shoots them down before Rory chases her off.
Rory: You can’t do that in here. How many times do I have to tell you that?
Filth: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. But what’s the difference between your drain and my mouth?
Rory: My drain is a lot cleaner. Now get outta here. You’re killing the vibe…
Filth takes down the last few drinks near her before she walks off.
