The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Cheyenne Campus - College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.
A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.
He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;
"SCW!"
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around the fairgrounds at all of the fans filling the grandstand and the rows of seats around the grounds itself. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
"SCW!"
"SCW!"
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Cheyenne Campus at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers as Amanda walks out in an immense fat suit covered with a floral print mu mu, and a beehive hairdo with thick, horn rimmed glasses. With a microphone in one hand and a large pastrami sandwich in the other, the performance begin!
Amanda: How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't you tell me you're full
Your table manners are some cryin' shame
You better listen, better do what you're told
I don't care if you're full
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
The crowd cheers as Amanda takes a bow and the contents of her sandwich spills out all over the stage. She throws the bread down and stomps off, to much cheers and laughter.

Adams: Goth scares me
Simone: Clowns scare you
Adams: Something not normal about grown men wearing so much make up.
Simone: Lucian Frost is also in action tonight. Even though he's not fully recovered, Frost will be here, taking on the rebellious Blade Alexander.
Adams: Blade has a lot of mouth, but also got the actions to back it up.
Simone: He does. Tonight's main event is going to be great, as Bombshell Tag titles are on the line as The Tattooed Goddesses defend the gold against former champions, Amy Marshall and Necra Octavian Kane.
Adams: This is gonna be great, let's get it started already
The camera is backstage with Karina Koji as she knocks on the Deadly Sins locker room. She is mumbling to herself as she holds her hand inches away from knocking on the door.
Karina: I can't believe you are making me do this.
She knocks on the door and a few moments pass when she hears footsteps from behind the closed door, approach. the door opens and standing before her is the leader of the Seven Deadly Sins, Synn himself. Synn looks down at her and raises his brow in questioning.
Synn: Ah yes. Joshua's partner for the evening. You know your match is to start soon. Isn't this cutting it a little close?
Karina: Yeah. I need to talk to Despayre I guess.
Synn nods.
Synn: I had wondered if you would deign to wish to speak with your own partner at some point before you actually had your match.
He smiles and turns back around and calls out to someone in the room, unseen.
Synn: Joshua? Your partner is at the door.
From inside of the room, the unseen Despayre calls back...
Despayre: No he's not! Gabriel is sitting right here!
Synn closes his eyes and shakes his head with a smile.
Synn: No. I meant your *other* partner. For the mixed tag team event.
Despayre: Ohhhhh! The girl!
Synn steps back as Despayre hops into the frame of the door with a wary look on his young face. Wary at being caught in unfamiliar territory and he holds the teddy bear closely against him.
Karina looks at Despayre and then at Angel nodding to both of them.
Karina: I am not good at small talk but I want to...a say hello.
Despayre just stares at her for an uncomfortable length of silence before he raises a hand and gives a slight wave.
Despayre: `Lo.
He then looks up an over her shoulder and a smile spreads across his face and he waves enthusiastically.
Despayre: Hi!
He looks back away from 'Loki' and watches Karina, eyes wide with wonder.
Karina: Also...don't hit the girls, you leave that to me and I won't hit guys. Unless the break the rules and then it is on...
Despayre nods, then beckons her to lean in close with his forefinger. She obliges and Despayre whispers.
Despayre: I don't hit girls. Angel says it's unbecoming a gentleman.
He leans back and nods. Karina manages a smile.
Karina: Smart bear....there is one more thing.
Karina looks over her shoulder and seems to find trouble expressing herself. Her left hand starts to shake a little bit and she steps in a little closer.
Karina: I...listen I know you are use to Gabriel and I see you with him. Part of the reason you fight so well is because he is there. I want you to know that even though I am not Gabriel. I will have your back out there.
She then nods and shifts from one foot to the other. Then before he can responds, she turns and walks towards the ring. Despayre waves to Loki who appears to still be standing there.
Justin Decent: The following contest is part of the Blast From the Past Tournament, and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Miami, Florida standing at 5 feet 2 inches and weighing in at 120 pounds, she is part of the New X-Tremes??? JESSIE SALCO!!!
The lights dim as the fast, charging riff of "Through My Eyes" by Threat Signal tears the PA System a new one and Jessie comes out with her brother Jake, the two do some headbanging at the top of the ramp before Jessie gets a running start before sliding into the ring, once she's on her feet she poses for the crowd before showing off her NXT armband and waiting for her opponent.
Justin Decent: And her fellow New X-Tremes team member??? hailing from Sweden, standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 235 pounds, he is??? DEREK THORNE!!!
A drum solo starts up through the arenas personal address system that is slowly joined by a very familiar guitar rift as Message in Blood by Pantera plays loudly through the speakers. The lights in the arena dim down as Derek Thorne can be seen walking out from behind the curtains, taking centre stage his lifts his arms up in the air. His arms are out stretched are at shoulder height looking out into the crowded arena, Derek drops to his knees. Unclenching his hands he raises them slightly so his open palms are facing the ceiling. As the cameras approach Derek they can see that he is mouthing a quote of some description but it is unknown to the crowd as it is in German. Closing his eyes briefly after he finishes his scripture Derek rolls his head back before getting back up to his feet. Dropping his arms back down to his sides Derek makes his way towards the ring, climbing the steps his wrestling boots clunk against the steel. Entering the ring through the middle and top rope Derek walks around the ring a few times, not encouraging the fans in the slightest.
Justin Decent: And their opponents??? Introducing first from Carpathian Mountains, Romania, standing at 5 feet 6 inches and weighing in at 116 pounds, she is??? KARINA KOJI!!!
The arena goes black, then purple lights fill the arena. ???The Ruler and the Killer??? by Kid Cudi starts to blare from the loudspeaker and soon after it starts Karina Koji enters. She stares at the ring, seemingly unaware of the audience at first. Her oversized hoody hides most of her face and she is dragging a large metal bat behind her. When she reaches the ring she lifts up her hoody and smiles to the audience. She tosses the bat aside and enters the ring.
Justin Decent: And her partner, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, standing at 5 feet 7 inches, and weighing in at 176 pounds, he is??? DESPAYRE!!!
The heavy beat of Orgy's 'Opticon' begins to sound over the public address system of the arena. The fans turn their attention to the stage atop the entry ramp to await the entrance of the 'disturbed one' and their wait is rewarded. Despayre steps out onto the stage, holding his teddy bear, Angel, by the fuzzy arm in one hand, with Synn at his side and they are greeted enthusiastically with cheers. The gothic mental case briefly holds 'Angel' up in the air to let 'him' bask in the cheers too, and they then start to move along the entry aisle, and closer towards the ring. His movements are slow, methodical, and he avoids being touched by the many hands reaching out to him but allows his bear to greet the fans. Arriving at ringside, he slides "Angel" into the ring and rolls under the bottom rope himself. Again grabbing his 'security' bear, he crawls across the ring on all fours and deposits himself into a neutral corner where Synn joins him for the pre-match pep talk.
DING! DING! DING!
Simone: And the show is off with a bang as the much anticipated match starts with Karina Koji and Jessie Salco.
Adams: Always a good time when the ladies start things off, but Thorne and Despayre are already looking anxious to get in there.
Karina and Jessie meet up in the middle of the ring for a display of sportsmanship when Karina boots Jessie in the stomach. She hunches over, grabbing onto her stomach when Karina tries for an Irish Whip. Jessie stops her and flings her into the corner where Derek Thorne holds his hands up innocently. Jessie charges at Karina, bringing her down with a Monkey Flip that gets a cheap pop from the crowd. Derek claps for his partner as she picks Karina off of the mat. Karina trips her up into a small package for an early pin.
1!
Adams: Silly Karina, did you really think it would be that easy to take out Jessie Salco?
Simone: I guess she did if she already tried for a pin. See what they have me working with, people?
Jessie gets out of it, but Karina has other plans. She keeps hold of Jessie???s foot, latching on with an Ankle Lock. Jessie groans out in pain as she struggles to shake free. Karina gets a sick sort of joy out of it as Jessie writhes. Jessie starts pulling herself over toward the nearest ropes, but Karina drags her over toward Jessie???s corner. She mouths something to Derek who responds by giving her a kissy face. Karina gets mad and drops Jessie???s leg. She goes to slap Derek, but Jessie grabs her arm and swings her around and drops her with a DDT. The crowd goes crazy as Jessie stumbles to her feet. Derek offers his hand for the tag, but Jessie insists she can continue.
Adams: Jessie is refusing to tag out so soon. She is a fighter.
Simone: But so is Karina as she spears Jessie off of her feet.
As Belinda stated, Karina has Jessie on the ground and she drops down with a double knee drop to Jessie???s chest, trying to pick apart the metalhead bombshell. Karina goes for an arm bar but Jessie almost immediately drapes her foot on the bottom rope. The referee calls for her to break it up, but she refuses. After threatening to make the count, Drew Patton gets forceful and pulls Karina off of Jessie. The crazed bombshell lunges toward him, causing him to retract. Karina laughs to herself and leans over to pick Jessie up. She shoves Jessie???s head between her legs and lifts her up for a powerbomb. When she is up in the air, Jessie punches Karina in the face. Karina goes to bomb her to the ground, but Jessie uses the momentum to flip her over with a Hurricanrana! The crowd goes crazy as Jessie holds the legs for a pin.

KICKOUT!
Simone: Oh, so close for Salco there. And???
*FEUER FREI!*
Jessie immediately turns her attention to Amanda Cortez who is walking down the ramp with her half of the tag team championship draped over her shoulder. She mocks a cute wave to Jessie. She stands at the edge of the ramp, and the two get in a stare down until Karina grabs onto Jessie???s pants and rolls her up into a pin.
1!

KICKOUT!
Amanda shrugs her shoulders as she watches Jessie kick out. Drew leans over the ropes and orders her away, but Amanda shakes her head. When Drew signals for security, she points to the announcers table and quickly walks over to it, grabbing a headset. Inside of the ring, Jessie picks Karina up, but she keeps an eye on Amanda. Despayre looks at an imaginary watch and then whispers down to Angel as he snickers. Amanda sets the headphones up on her head.
Adams: Isn???t this a surprise? I???m pleased to welcome Amand???
Amanda: Shut up you idiot???
Simone: Trust me, honey, that never works???
Jessie is clearly distracted by Amanda as Karina kicks her in the gut. She sends her over to the ropes, readying herself for a clothesline. Jessie ducks it and rolls over to Derek, making the tag! Despayre excitedly jumps over the ropes to meet up with Derek, catching him with a clothesline, showing Karina how it???s done. He is a true gentleman as he holds the ropes open for Karina. She gives him a kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush. Derek capitalizes on the distraction and catches Despayre from behind with a dropkick. Despayre taps into Karina once more, making another legal tag. Karina shrugs her shoulders and gets back into the ring. Despayre is frustrated and he tags himself back in quickly. Karina gets outside of the ring, but tags herself back in again. They stand there arguing, each one wanting in the ring. Derek and Jessie get annoyed with it and they both charge the corner for shoulderbutts, but Despy and Karina Back Body Drop both NXT members to the outside of the ring, causing the fans to cheer. Drew orders Karina outside of the ring, and Despy offers his partner a raspberry before going to the center of the ring to avoid another tag.
Adams:I???ve never seen so many tags in one tag team match before. These two are such a funny pair.
Amanda: They are both a bunch of idiots. Everyone in this match are idiots, and the fans are idiots for cheering on these losers.
Simone: This is a wrestling match, and usually with commentators, you speak about the match??? So why are you even???
Amanda: Just stop talking and let me focus on the match.
Derek slides back into the ring and gets up behind Despayre. He grabs Despayre around the waist and drops him down with a German Suplex. Derek goes for a second one and connects. He picks Despayre up for third, but Despayre slides out of it and stumbles about. As Derek turns around, Despayre falls down with a Diamond Cutter style neck breaker. He rolls Derek over for a pin, but Thorne kicks him in the stomach. Derek rolls Despayre over, draping his throat over the second rope as he gets up to his feet. Derek dashes over and drops a leg over Despayre???s head, but Despayre moves out of the way at the last second. Derek straddles the ropes and Despayre begins shaking the rope, causing Derek to growl out in pain. Once he is done he takes a few steps back to allow Derek to recuperate.
Simone: It looks like Derek doesn???t have to worry about children in the near future???
Adams: Every ladies man???s dream???
Amanda: If only most morons thought that way, the SCW roster and audience would probably not exist.
As Derek gets off of the ropes and turns around holding his groin, Despayre dashes toward him, leaping up and taking him down with Crucifix Headscissors. Derek does a cravat upon landing and he catches Despayre with a surprise Superkick to the smaller opponent. Despayre lands hard on the mat, holding the side of his face. Derek contemplates something for a moment as he works his way over to the corner. He climbs to the top rope and looks out into the crowd. He has a smirk on his face as he slides his thumb across his throat. The audience cheers as Derek stands on the top, steadying himself while Despayre gets up. He cups his hand around his ear as he looks over to Angel. He gasps before suddenly charging the ropes, causing Thorne to fall down, catching himself once more on the top rope.
Adams: From one man to another, I must give my condolences to Derek Thorne. I think I???ve got sympathy pains right now.
Amanda: I???m bored now???
As Amanda gets up, she tosses the headset down to the table. She walks over toward Jessie Salco who is focused on Derek and the match. Karina looks unamused as she watches what is about to go down. Despayre sees Derek tumble from the top ropes and he waits as his opponent gets up to his feet. Despayre rushes the larger man and boots him in the gut. He looks over to Angel and gives him a thumbs up before picking Derek up over his shoulders. He comes crashing down in a powerslam/sidewalk slam combo maneuver.
Simone: I hear Despayre??? er, Angel calls that one ???Beware the Stare???! This one might be over, Jason!
Adams: Not if Jessie has anything to say about it!
Just as Despayre drops down for the count, Jessie leans in under the top rope to save her partner. On her way into the ring, she hits a snag when Amanda Cortez grabs onto her leg. Jessie tries to kick her off, but Amanda doesn???t let go.

Justin Decent: Your winners advancing in the Blast From the Past Tournament??? DESPAYRE and KARINA KOJI!!!
Despayre gets up from the mat where Karina walks up next to him. She gives him a high five before the referee raises their hands up in victory. ???Opticon??? plays as they leave the ring to celebrate their victory. Derek is out on the mat, coming to when Amanda and Jessie are going at it on the outside. Both women growl as they struggle to get the upper hand. Jessie gets it first, pounding Amanda???s face into the ring steps twice. Amanda boots her in the gut and Irish Whip???s Jessie toward the barricade, but Jessie comes back with a Dragon Screw kick to Amanda. She mounts Amanda and begins throwing punch after punch to her when the lights go out.
Simone: What is going on here? Did someone forget to pay the electric bill?
Adams: I???m??? scared???
After over a minute of darkness, and chattering of Jason???s teeth, the lights come back on to find Jessie Salco beaten badly on the inside of the ring and Derek quickly cradles her. He shouts out toward the ramp where Amanda blows a kiss down toward the ring with a smile on her face. She disappears behind the curtains as Derek starts to carry a bloodied Jessie out of the ring.
Backstage, Misty and her disciples are just arriving. The brothers surround her protectively and Ruby leads the group as they wander down the hall in search of the women's locker room where Misty has to quickly get ready for her match. They group has only been back in Las Vegas a short while, as earlier Misty competed in the first round J-Cup tournament in Nova Scotia. All six are suddenly brought to a halt as SCW Co-Owner, and a very frustrated looking Christian Underwood appears in front of them, staring daggers through Ruby. Ruby folds her arms across her chest, and Christian looks to the men of the group, not impressed.
Ruby: May we help you, Mr. Underwood?
Christian tries to get a look at Misty, but because her boys tower over her, she is completely surrounded. He does, however, happen to hear her chuckle.
Christian: You can step aside and Misty can show herself to her boss. I need to have a word with her and I don't need your permission.
Ruby: I am sorry, Mr. Underwood, but we are running a little behind. Our Queen really needs to--
Christian: You need to be quiet and Misty needs to step away from the protection of you goons, or I will suspend her right here and now. The choice is yours, Misty.
Ruby's eyes widen and she is about to step forward in an attempt to intimidate Christian(yeah like that is really possible!), but Misty's voice stops her.
Misty: It's fine, Ruby. Take a step back. Dante, Zane please step aside so I may speak with my boss.
Ruby, Dante and Zane all do as they are told, and Misty steps forward, approaching Christian. She smiles politely, but half arrogantly at him, as she has a feeling she knows what he wants to speak to her about.
Misty: Mr. Underwood. It's great to see you as always. What can I do for you, boss?
Christian: Oh cut the crap, Misty. Quit trying to to be such a kiss ass, because you should know by now that stuff doesn't work with me. You know damn well what I'm going to say.
Misty acts as though she has no idea what he is talking about. She pretends to think, as her disciples watch on silently.
Misty: I'm afraid I don't. I'm not a mind reader, boss. Though at times I wish I were.
Misty lets out another chuckle, and this only further agitates Christian.
Christian: Do you think I am stupid, Misty? Do you think that I didn't see the stunt your little pet over there pulled last week? I thought I made myself clear the week before when I said there was to be no contact between you and Odette Ryder. Do you think I was joking?
Misty shakes her head, and behind her Ruby growls. Damien places a hand on her shoulder, silencing her immediately.
Misty: You were clear. Crystal clear in fact. I didn't lay a finger on Odette Ryder last week. Ruby did.
Christian: Exactly. And you put her up to it. I should suspend you--
Misty: Forgive me for interrupting you, Mr. Underwood, but I did nothing wrong. I did not put Ruby up to anything. I was watching the match when she snuck away from me and acted on her own free will. I assure you she has been scolded for it. Isn't that right, Ruby?
Ruby: Yes, my Queen. Mr. Underwood, I acted on my own. I was not thinking, and if I thought you would feel the need to suspend my Queen because of something I did, I would not have done it. It will not happen again.
Christian: You're damn right it won't, because if it does, Misty will be suspended no questions asked, and the five of you will be permanently banned from SCW and its shows. Do not try to find any more loopholes through my rules, Misty, because there officially are none. Do you understand me?
Misty: Of course.
Christian: Good. Now get out of my sight and go get ready for your match.
Misty nods, once again giving Christian a polite smile. She snaps her fingers and her disciples follow behind her as they head down the hall once again. Christian stands there with his arms folded as he has a look on his face that says he is completely fed up with the two-time former Bombshell Champion.
The scene opens up near the backstage entrance of the arena just as "Beautiful" Billy James is seen entering the arena, along with his wife Kristen. The two make it only a few steps into the backstage area before they are quickly approached by SCW Head Reporter Pussy Willow, who comes running up to the two of them with a microphone in hand.
PW: Billy... Billy! If I could just have a minute of your time.
Billy stops and turns back towards Pussy.
Billy: Sure, what can I do for you?
PW: I have to ask, a lot of people were very shocked by your absence last week. After a very impressive return to the ring two weeks ago on Climax Control, including a victory over 2-time SCW Heavyweight Champion Nick Jones, followed by what seemed to be quite the outburst of anger and a stand-off against SCW Co-Owner "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward, a lot of people were waiting to see what was next for you. Yet last week, you were nowhere to be found.
Billy: Well I can assure you, it was not exactly my plan not to be here last week.
PW: What exactly do you mean?
Billy: It's simple really. I was ready to roll for another week of Climax Control and then at the very last minute, I got a phone call from some no-name SCW back office go-fer who passed along word to me, which apparently he was only told third-hand himself, that I was to be sent off on some nonsensical public relations trip out in the middle of nowhere at the very same time Climax Control was going on. At first I refused, at which point I was told that it was required of me as part of my newly-signed SCW contract. Now I wonder who exactly in the SCW back office has the kind of power to be able to use my contract against me like that and would also want to keep me from being here for Climax Control? You have any thoughts on who it could be?
Billy tilts his head to the side as he looks at Pussy, while putting his hands on his hips and shrugging in a clearly sarcastic manner as he waits for a response.
PW: What exactly are you trying to get at?
Billy: I'm sorry, was I not clear? I'll be more than happy to flat out say it: that spineless little coward Mark Ward is the reason I was not here last week. And do you want to know why? It's because he's afraid.
PW: What makes you so sure that it was him?
Billy: Isn't it obvious? He's the only one with both the clout and the motivation to get that done.
PW: If that were truly the case, wouldn't he have made sure that you would not be here this week as well?
Billy chuckles to himself before responding.
Billy: You would seem to have a very good point there.
PW: Thank you.
Billy: That is, if it weren't for the fact that he DID try to keep me from being here, but simply failed.
PW: How exactly could that be?
Billy: All it took was me proving, once again, that I'm really the better man between the two of us. I got a call from that same snot-nosed SCW intern trying to send me off to some bullshit autograph signing somewhere, but the difference is, this time I was one step ahead. I spoke to the one and only person in this entire company whose decisions Mark cannot do a damn thing to change. So I called up Christian Underwood, me and him had a little chat and he assured me that, regardless of whether or not I am scheduled for a match, I would be booked to be in attendance at each and every one of the upcoming episodes of Climax Control.
PW: And what exactly does that mean for you and Mark?
Billy: It means Mark better be ready. You see, Mark sent his little pal Nicky after me, thinking that he would get the job done for Mark, but he didn't. Then Jordan went and told the both of us that he's not getting in the middle of this. Now, his other little buddy Tom Dudely has been sent packing by Christian. That means, Mark no longer has anyone left to hide behind anymore. So now there's only one thing he can do: run... or at least try to. He will do everything he can to keep as much distance between the two of us as humanly possible, which last week meant sending me off on some stupid nonsensical PR trip in order to keep me out of the same arena as him. Well now that's not going to work anymore and so it's only a matter of time.
PW: Only a matter of time for what?
Billy: It's only a matter of time before he runs out of places to run. Only a matter of time before he realizes there's only one option left. Simply a matter of time before I have that son of a bitch right where I want him.
PW: Where exactly is that?
Billy: Where else? In the center of that ring. And once I've got him there, I'm going to give ole Hot Stuff a not-so-pleasant reminder of something I've taught him plenty of times before... when you mess with this beauty, he's gonna whoop your booty.
Billy smiles and takes Kristen by the arm and goes to walk off. However, Kristen stops for a moment and looks Pussy Willow up and down for a moment, before shaking her head at Pussy. She then allows Billy to lead her off as the two walk away and the scene cuts away.
The scene shows Casey Williams in the ring with a microphone in his hand.
Casey: Derek Thorne, how dare you interfere in my match last week against Argento, costing me the match. I don't care if you advance in the tag team tournament or not, I am issuing you a challenge to a match. I am going to kick your ass.
Casey storms off frustrated.
Justin: Our next match is a round one bout for the Blast From The Past Tournament. Introducing first the deadly combination of former champion Rage....and one of the new rising talents of the bombshell division....ANGEL KASH
# Beautiful, dirty, dirty, rich, rich, dirty, dirty
# Beautiful, dirty, rich
# Dirty, dirty, rich, dirty, dirty, rich, beautiful
# Beautiful and dirty, dirty, rich, rich, dirty
The fans begin to boo loudly as the opening cords of Lady Gaga's "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich hits over the PA system, as the arena lights dim, and begin flashing all over, a gold carpet rolls out, and out steps Angel Kash who has a smug look on her face, as she is greeted by a loud chorus of boos! She smirks before striking a pose for the fans. Rage steps up behind her and the crowd gives him a decent ovation.
# Beautiful, dirty, dirty, rich, rich, dirty, dirty
# Beautiful, dirty, rich
# Dirty, dirty, rich, dirty, dirty, rich, beautiful
# Beautiful and dirty, dirty, rich, rich, dirty
As she begins her arrogant supermodel style strut to the ring, trash talking, and taunting the fans as they boo her, she finally sticks her hand rudely out and puts it up to the fans to mean "talk to the hand!" As she slowly climbs the steps she yells at the ref to lower the ropes for her, which he does. Rage just shakes his head and steps into the ring. She then does a bow, to taunt to the fans some more which only gets her more boos, as she climbs onto the second turnbuckle to do some more taunting, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, taking her ring entrance trademark black fur rope and hands it to the stage hand, as she lays on the turnbuckle nonchalantly, and her music cuts.
Justin: And their opponents. He is the number one contender for the Roulette title and she is a former bombshell champion. Please let me introduce THATCHER REX and MISTY!!!!
The lights in the arena go out. Thick gray smoke fills the backstage entrance where a spotlight now shines. The opening beats to "The World Belongs To Me" by My Darkest Days begins to play throughout the building. Several seconds into the music, the enigmatic figures of Misty and her disciples, fully cloaked in black robes emerge from backstage. Damien, Dante, Sebastian and Zane surround her protectively with Ruby following behind them. They slowly and methodically walk their way to the ring, ignoring the boos from the crowd. Once to the ring, Damien, Dante Sebastian and Zane enter the ring first. Misty waits at the bottom of the steps as Ruby walks past her, joining the brothers in the ring. She sits on the 2nd rope as Misty walks up the steps, then enters the ring with Ruby's assistance. The roar of a Tyrannosaur erupts over the PA system interrupting the music. Thatcher Rex charges out from the back and the crowd is on their feet. He looks at Misty and rolls his eyes. He marches down the ring pushing past Misty???s disciplines and getting into the ring. Misty does not look pleased.
Simone: From the start we can see that neither of these teams seem happy to be working together.
Adams: Yeah, Misty is shooting daggers. Rex might have more to worry about from his own team member.
The bombshells are starting this match out so both Rage and Rex go to a corner.
DING DING DING
Misty looks over at Angel and shakes her head in a sign of disappointment. She does not move forward. Angel motions for her to come at her but for a moment neither woman moves. Misty turns to her disciples to say something and Angel charges at her bringing her down with a spear. Angel starts landing rights and lefts down on top of her. Misty collects herself and pushes Kash off her, the two tumble until Misty is on top of Angel now and slamming her head on the canvas.
Adams: I know you???re going to give me a dirty look but we have ourselves a catfight.
Simone: It is not even worth the effort.
Misty gets off Angel and pulls her to her feet by her hair. She then whips her into the ropes and catches her on the rebound with a spear of her own. She then follows that up with a quick standing moonsault. Rage is reaching out and yelling for Kash to get out of there.
Simone: Rage is looking for a quick tag as Angel already seems to be loosing any momentum she started with.
Misty starts to drag her up again but this time Kash breaks out of it. She throws an elbow at Misty and while she is briefly stunned gets fully to her feet. She grabs Misty, getting her into a headlock that Misty reverses out of and takes Kash to the canvas with a russian leg sweeper. She then kicks her while she is down.
Adams: The fan???s don???t know what to do when these two fight....they mostly are just booing all of it.
Simone: Well neither of them are well liked.
Misty gets Angel up again and with an DDT she takes Angel drown again. The crowd winces at the end of that move. Misty gets up and runs for the turnbuckle. She gets to the top and quickly leaps in the air with a frog splash but Angel rolls out at the last moment. She scrambles to her feet heading for the corner. Misty sees where she is going and tries to catch up. Kash kicks back at Misty hitting her in the face and reaching for Rage. She gets the tag.
Adams: Man if I thought Misty was shooting daggers before, she really does not want to stop this fight.
Simone: The referee is getting between Misty and the quickly fleeing Kash.
Adams: thats a brave man.
Misty finally gives up and goes back to her corner. Rex and Rage both step in eying eachother. Both men charge in fast and lock up. The two fighters struggle in the center of the ring. Rage tries to get Thatcher into a headlock but Rex throws an series of elbows to cause Rage to break his hold. The two men start exchanging blows back and forth. Then Rage slams Rex with a brutal headbutt.
Simone: A brutal exchange about two big fighters.
Rage takes advantage of the momentum knocking Thatcher off his feet with an uppercut. The crowd gives him a decent pop. He quickly grabs Thatcher getting him to his knee and slamming him with a forearm strike. He gets him then to his feet and tries to hit him again but Rex docks under it. Rex grabs Rage from behind and takes him down with a belly to back suplex.
Simone: Rex has been nothing but impressive since coming to the SCW.
Adams: Yeah but that dino roar kind of freaks me out.
Rex hauls Rage up and throws him into the corner. He starts slamming him with elbow strikes. Rage grabs the ropes and kicks out at Rage. He then climbs the middle turnbuckle and flies at him with a high knee strike. Thatcher is off his feet. Rage is picking Thatcher up and bringing him back down with a german suplex.
Adams: Rage is putting the hurt on and going for the pin.
1...
2...
Near 3!
Thatcher gets a shoulder up. Rage backs up and Rex is getting to his feet slowly. Rage lets out a yell and charges at Rage but Rex gets a big boot up. The impact is so huge that both men end up off their feet. They are staggering to their feet. Rage grabs at Rex whipping him into the ropes. Rex grabs the ropes to halt the momentum but out of nowhere Misty slaps him on the shoulder.
Simone: Misty with the stealthy tag.
Adams: Guess Rex was right for being worried about teaming up with Misty.
Rex is yelling at the referee but he is holding to the decision. Rage does not look pleased either as he heads to the corner. Misty strides in with a smug smile on her face but Angel is not budging from the corner. Misty goes over to her yelling at her to get in the ring. Rex is still talking with the Referee and so Kash waits until Misty is close enough and pokes her in the eye. While Misty is stunned she guitinnes her and rushes in the ring to attack her some more.
Adams: I love it when girls fight dirty.
Simone: Well when it comes to shady tactics these two almost deserve eachother.
Kash pulls Misty to her feet, she is trying for the Kash Flow, but Misty pushes out of it. She drives a knee into Angels side and follows that up with a running bulldog.
Simone: Angel???s dirty tactics were not enough to put this one away.
Adams: Oh man Misty is really pissed. This one is either going to end with her winning or she is going to hurt everyone close to her.
Misty kicks Kash once while she is down and then gets her up enough to lock in the triple choke hold.
Simone: It looks like Misty has the Queen???s Punishment locked in.
Adams: Angel is fighting it but it might be too late.
Angel struggles hard and tries to twist her body towards Rage???s corner but it is too much. She quickly taps out.
DING DING DING
Justin: The winners of the match.... MISTY AND THATCHER REX
Simone: We have a winner, the unlikely team of Misty and Thatcher Rex will be advancing to the next round.
Adams: I think they need couples therapy before their next match.
Simone: I am going to tell Misty you said that.
Adams: Please don???t.
The camera cuts backstage to see Hot Stuff Mark Ward and Nick Jones talking.
HS: You really came up with this idea on your own?
Nick raises an eyebrow
Nick: What's that supposed to mean?
HS: Oh nothing. I was just taking the piss, it's a pretty simple idea.
Nick: Hey, remember here limey, I'm doing you the favor here. I could just let him constantly kick your ass every week.
HS: Why are you doing this yank?
Nick: Because the idiot thinks I got lucky against him when I faced him. Lucky! Nothing to do with the fact that I'm by far the better wrestler. People with their heads up their own asses, piss me off.
Hot Stuff stares silently in to the camera for a few seconds and back to Nick.
HS: I owe you.
Nick smirks.
Nick: Say that a little louder, I didn't hear it.
HS: Yeah ya did.
Nick smirks again as Tony and Big B appears.
Tony: You wanted to see us boss?
Nick: Yeah, got a little job for you two idiots.
The camera quickly switches to a shot of Billy James watching a monitor. Billy storms away from the monitor as the scene changes.
Backstage at the Cheyenne Campus of the college of Southern Nevada, the comely miss Pussy Willow is walking down the hallway with her ever present microphone. She passes the makeup lady and other backstage staff members of Sin City Wrestling, when she hears a voice and it makes her jump.
Synn: I understand that you were looking for me?
PW starts, then turns around and she spots Synn stepping out from a doorway. He approaches her and PW takes in a few deep breaths until she composes herself once more.
PW: Next time, warn a lady before you do that.
Synn smiles, and tilts his head forward in acknowledgment.
Synn: My sincerest apologies. Old habits die hard, I guess.
PW: There should be a way to speed up the process with that one.
Synn chuckles under his break and places his hands behind his waist.
Synn: What was it that you wanted of me?
PW: just to get a word in with you, if I may? I understand that this is an incredibly busy night for the Sins, as each active member has been booked tonight in the 'Blast From the Past' memorial tournament.
Synn: A busy night indeed, and an even more busy month if my men are successful, and I have every ounce of confidence that they will be. Besides their commitments to SCW, Gabriel and Despayre now have further commitments in the NWA as the World Tag Team Champions. Rage is the number one challenger to Spike's Heavyweight title. Add that to the mixed tag team event, and none of the Sins will want for anything in keeping busy.
PW: So you're confident that they'll all advance to the quarter-finals to be held next week?
Synn nods.
Synn: Absolutely. I would be a poor leader indeed if I did not profess that they would each move forward.
PW: Given that each of them are in this tournament, and could each advance, have you given any thoughts to the possibility that at some point they would be facing each other?
Synn takes a moment to think, as indeed the possibilities did cross his mind. He is about to answer her when a voice from elsewhere interrupts.
"Before you answer that, I have a few things to tell you first."
Synn turns around and comes face to face with Kain, one-half of the current SCW Tag-Team champions. Kain steps closer to Synn and the two stare down each other as Pussy Willows glances from the face of one man to the other, back and forth, until Kain brings the microphone to his lips.
Kain: Awhile back, I saw you pull that bullshit act of yours on Misty. I am not here to defend Misty at all. Actually, you did the right thing; someone had to put that woman in her place. Eventually, it would have been me. However, your act was exactly how I described it; complete bullshit. You really think that personality of yours is going to fly around here, especially me? I don't think so, Synn. You do not frighten me nor do you intimidate me at all. You're nothing but a coward and a fool in the end.
Kain unbuckles the SCW tag-team championship belt and shows it to Synn, who continues to stare him down menacingly.
Kain: You must be angry, because your boys couldn't get the job done. They couldn't act like one unit and because of that, they were destroyed by a newly-formed team that NEVER partnered up with each other until now. How does it feel, Synn? How does it feel to have something so important to you, at one point, be taken away from you by a couple of guys that are clearly smarter, more talented, and oh DEFINITELY better than you and Sinful Obsession?
Synn's face tighten up with rage as Kain merely smirks for a brief second.
Kain: That's what I thought. In any case, I know that you and your pals want a rematch at some point. I'm sure it will happen, but know this; you don't scare me. You don't frighten me. If you think you can pull that crap of yours around me, think again. You won't be bullying me around and you certainly won't be bullying Lucian Frost around here. You try and believe me, Synn. I will use my lethal skills to hunt you down. I will find you. And I...WILL...
Kain brings himself closer to Synn, so close that they could feel each other's breath if they wanted to, as Pussy steps back one pace.
Kain: End....YOU!
Kain turns around and walks away as Pussy Willows looks to Synn for a rebuttal. But Synn ignores her completely, staring after The King Of Kings. He cracks a smile as the scene fades to black.
We return to ringside where Aleksei Koji in the ring.
Aleksei: So it is me again your favorite Romaninan TV personaility who is not a vampire. I recently got brought to attention that there is one boss like guy I have not interviewed. So far one boss was the douche canoe and the other is Christian Underwood. Now lets introduce the other boss Erik Staggs
The opening riff to ???Where Eagles Dare??? by The Misfits begins as a spotlight shines on the curtains. Moments later, Erik Staggs comes out onto the stage. He flashes a smile to a mixed reaction. Shrugging his shoulders, he dashes down the ramp and slides in under the bottom rope. He stands up, carefully straightening out his suit jacket and pants, giving an arrogant smile before approaching Aleksei. He extends a friendly hand which Aleksei shakes before raising the microphone to his mouth while handing another to Erik.
Aleksei: What are you drinking boss man?
Erik: I am a scotch man myself. Thank you.
Aleksei shrugs and pours a glass for Erik. He checks it and shakes his head disappointedly. He doubles the amount and then hands it over to Erik who casually sips on it.
Aleksei: So far in my time with SCW...one boss has fired me and the other boss fired me...do you feel left out?
Erik: See, I am the nice ???boss like guy??? in SCW. I never get pleasure out of losing a wrestler because I feel every person adds a special flare to the roster. Who doesn???t like a party guy, right? I mean, it is the only reason my nephew Jamie still has a job around here, right? It certainly isn???t because of his wrestling abilities???
Erik chuckles to himself as the audience gives a small boo. Aleksei skips on over to the next question.
Aleksei: We both have family that work here....and we both have family that is kind of crazy...do you find it hard to work with family?
Erik: Oh, definitely. Like yourself, family members are a reflection of yourself, so you always want them to do well. Unfortunately my s???ad nephew is injured, the other is a dumbass, and the other somehow managed to do some amazing things given his lack of skill??? Family is family, but I won???t let it affect my judgment???
Aleksei: Your kind of a cryptic guy. Has anyone ever told you that?
Erik: I have heard this once or twice. Would the fans pay good money if they knew every outcome of every little thing? I think not???
Aleksei: So you???re not going to tell me anything about your secret plans?
Erik: It will be nothing short of shocking???
Aleksei: Thats it.....not even a hint....what if you tell me in a riddle or something like that.
Erik shrugs and smirks as he downs the remainder of his scotch, setting the cup on the nearest turnbuckle. Aleksei stares at Erik for a moment, waiting to see if the stone-faced Staggs will crack, but he doesn???t.
Aleksei: I see how it is....well that is fine. I will figure it out. I am much more clever than people give me the credit for. Now one thing I have been wondering...Chris and Douchecanoe are very out in the open but you stay behind the scenes...why is that?
Erik: Well, my doors are always open to anyone who chooses to utilize my services. Unfortunately, people don???t. I am Head of Talent Relations as well as Creative, but no one seems to realize that such a tool exists.
Erik smirks confidently as Aleksei chuckles to himself.
Aleksei: So you are a tool, that???s good to know??? What is one match that has not happened yet on SCW that you would love to see happen?
Erik: Coming from an extreme background, there are about a hundred things I would love to see. SCW has only scratched the surface of the hardcore genre, so I would love to see some of our guys compete in more brutal match types. But, I do enjoy seeing our Bombshells, so??? No, nevermind.
Aleksei looks frustrated as Erik chuckles. He shrugs his shoulders as Aleksei points at him and shakes his head. The fans boo a little, so Aleksei wraps things up.
Aleksei: Well even though you didn't tell me much we had fun. Thank you Erik
Erik: Thank you for having me.
Erik shakes hands with Aleksei as ???Where Eagles Dare??? plays once more. Erik parts ways with Aleksei as the scene fades.
Justin: The following contest is an opening round match in the 'Blast From the Past' mixed tag team tournament, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Saint Louis, Missouri, weighing 115 pounds ... Faith!
???Scum of the Earth??? by Rob Zombie begins playing through the PA system as the stage lights blink to the beat of the music. Without hesitation, Faith comes walking onto the stage, waving her arms up, shouting for the fans to get on their feet. She walks to the edge of the ramp, looking from side to side as the music picks up, she bangs her head down abruptly and swings her dreads around for a minute before pointing up to the sky. She runs down one side of the ramp, slapping hands with fans before switching sides. She then dashes up toward the ring and jumps onto the apron. She turns around and swings her dreads around once more to the music before getting inside of the ring. She bows her head and jogs from side to side, throwing fists.
Simone: I think Faith has to be one of the most promising newcomers to the Bombshell division.
Adams: Hey if Spike Staggs helped in her training, you know she's going places.
Justin: Her tag team partner hails from Seaside Heights, New Jersey, weighing 285 pounds ... Giani Di Luca!
A few cameras file through the curtains. ???Wrecked??? plays when Giani comes down to the ring, he supplies his own blast of pyros that rain down on him as he pauses, soaking in the boos of the audience. He really gets them going as he flips his hands from under his chin, laughing as they boo. He jumps onto the ring apron and soaks in the audience reaction before climbing under the top rope. He bounces from the ropes, then runs over to the far turnbuckle and raises his fist high in the air for his camera crew. He leaps down and jogs in place.
Simone: I just can't believe what we've seen out of Giani Di Luca! After all this time, he just turns his back on everyone who has supported him!
Adams: Yeah well he needs to learn to get along tonight or else he'll end up out of this tournament and fast.
Justin: And their opponents! First, accompanied by the Entourage, from Los Angeles, California, weighing 251 pounds ... Nick Jones!
"It ain't braggin' mutha f#cka if ya back it up!" A loud chorus of boos fills the arena as "Cocky" by Kid Rock blasts throughout. Moments later, Nick Jones walks out through the curtain, causing the boos to intensify. Nick walks to the top of the rampway and then waits as the lovely Diana Roberts makes her way out behind him. Nick drops down to a knee as a cocky smirk comes across his face while he flexes his muscles and Diana rubs his chest. Nick gets up and takes Diana's arm before turning back toward the curtain and waiting as the Entourage's Big B and Tony Capicelli make their way out. The two men flank Nick and Diana as they make their way down the rampway, slowly walking down as Nick makes sure to taunt and mock all of the fans along the way. Nick walks to the steel steps and waits for Diana to climb up first, watching her from behind before quickly walking up behind her, while Big B and Tony wait outside the ring. Nick then walks across the apron and steps one leg into the ring, taking a seat onto the middle rope for a moment, holding the ropes open as Diana climbs in. Nick sits there, looking around the arena and has a look of disdain on his face as he shakes his head in disgust, soliciting even more jeers from the audience. Nick laughs at this response as he turns away from the crowd to climb into the ring, swinging his other leg into the ring and then walking over to his corner, where Diana now sits on the top turnbuckle. Nick leans back while Diana rubs his shoulders, as he stands there and waits with a cocky and confident smirk on his face.
Adams: Hey do you think Nick is upset that he got introduced first before his partner?
Simone: I'm not sure he even processed it, but what can you expect? His partner is a champion, and he's not.
Adams: Oooo! I hope he didn't hear that!
Justin: His partner is the reigning SCW Bombshell Champion! From Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing 128 pounds ... Vixen!
The throbbing beat of Light it up by Rev Theory is heard as Vixen walks out on the ramp, stepping up to the edge of the aisle and stands at attention before raising a hand to wave to the fans who cheer as she salutes and smiles before moving down to the ring. Standing on the apron, she steps on the bottom rope and backflips into the ring, moving to the corner where she climbs to the second turnbuckle and salutes the fans once more before jumping down to stretch slightly as the fans' chants begin to fade.
Simone: Vixen went through hell and back to prove herself worthy of being the Bombshell Champion of the SCW, and that dream was realized at 'New Year's Resolution' when she claimed the gold as her own.
Adams: And teaming with probably the most dominant wrestler in the men's division? She and Nick Jones have to be a favorite to go all the way in this tournament.
Nick nods in appreciation at his partner which earns him a cuff in the back of the head from Diana. He turns and glowers at her, feigning innocence. Jasmine St. John, the referee assigned to this match, orders the Entourage from the ring, and with one last female glare toward Vixen, Diana and the others comply.
Across the ring, Giani orders Faith to the apron and with a frown, she obliges him so that he can start things off. Nick says something too Vixen and then holds the ropes for her...
Simone: What the hell has gotten into Nick Jones???
Adams: I bet that'll set Diana off!
The bell sounds! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Diana shouts at Nick and he shouts back, not knowing what her problem is (yeah, right) when the crowd shouts in warning! Giani charges Nick from behind and Vixen warns him in time! Nick dodges aside and Giani runs right into the wrong corner! Di Luca turns around and Nick peppers him with two shots to the head, then backs off at Jasmine's warning. Giani swears colorfully in Italian and runs at Nick who brings him over with a Japanese armdrag take down. Giani is right back up and Nick armdrags him again and holds him steady in an armbar.
Adams: You know for a moment, I could swear the fans actually were warning Nick about Giani.
Simone: I think with Giani's recent turncoat status, the fans might be seeing Nick this time around as the possible lesser of two evils.
Giani forces his way to a vertical standing and Nick cranks the pressure on his arm, twisting in with an arm wringer and into a wrist lock. Giani grimaces as Nick pumps his arm twice, threatening to hyper extend his limb.
Simone: Nick isn't a former two-time Heavyweight champion for nothing. He can see Giani has a size and weight advantage over him and he's looking to break him down and nullify that threat.
Giani grimaces in pain but he grabs Nick's arm and counters, reversing the hold into his own wrist lock. Nick wastes no time with his own reversal, grabbing him back into an arm bar. Giani grabs Nick with his free arm and attempts a scoop slam, but as he drives Jones down, Nick hangs onto his arm and flips Giani to the mat and retains his grip on Di Luca's arm.
Simone: All his arrogance aside, nobody can find fault with the wrestling talents of Nick Jones!
Giani screams at Jasmine, accusing Nick of pulling his trunks but Jones denies it as she questions him.
Adams: I wouldn't put it past Nick to do just that but for once I think he's innocent.
Simone: For once.
Giani gets to his feet and Nick twists his arm again and traps him in an overhead armlock. Giani hollers again about a pull of the tights and as Jasmine maneuvers around to check, Giani grabs a handful of Nick's hair and yanks him down to the mat!
Simone: And we're seeing a bit of Giani's new attitude right there!
But Nick reverses this on the mat and turns it into a hammerlock with Giani face down on the canvas. Giani hollers in pain as Jones forces his arm clear up his back, Di Luca pounding his fist on the mat! Giani reaches for the ropes but a wrenching of his arm up the back, courtesy of Nick, ends that. Giani slowly manages to get to his knees and he reaches up with his free arm and snapmares Nick over his shoulder where he immediately grabs him in a rear chinlock. Giani wrenches him from left to right as Nick gags and points to the hold.
Simone: That looks like a choke to me.
Jasmine checks closely and agrees and she begins a count.
1...
Giani releases it but this leaves an opening and Nick grabs his arm and arm drags him over his shoulder. Nick gets him in a side headlock but Giani does not remain in it for long. He sends Nick off into the ropes and they both collide in a shoulder block, and Giani's size comes into play as Nick crashes back to the canvas. Giani then runs off of the ropes himself and Nick jumps back to his feet. Giani rebounds and Nick attempts a hiptoss but Giani blocks it and clotheslines Jones down hard!
2...
3...
4...
Adams: Whoa! He almost took his head off with that shot!
Giani peels the limp form of Nick off of the canvas and hauls him high overhead with a military press! Giani holds Nick there for several long seconds before he simply dumps him, Nick landing face and chest first with a crash! Nick rolls over onto his back, clearly in pain, and Giani lounges lazily across his chest in a pin attempt.
1..... Nick gets the shoulder up.
Simone: Did he seriously think he was going to pin Nick Jones like that!?
Giani shrugs with a cocky smile and stands up, as Nick uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet. Giani then charges him like a wild bull with an arm outstretched, and Nick pulls the top rope down and Giani flies over the top and lands on the ringside floor! Nick then allows Jasmine to ward him away, distracting her so that Tony can land a fist into the side of Giani's head!
Adams: And there's the Nick Jones we all know and lo, er, despise.
Big B grabs Giani and rolls him back inside of the ring. Nick pulls him up into a front facelock and slaps on a DDT!
Simone: Nick just planted him!
Nick rolls Giani over and covers him, hooking the leg!
1.....
Nick looks at Jasmine with a frown before he stands up and playfully slaps Giani in the back of the head repeatedly. Nick pulls him up and goes for an Irish whip into the ropes but Giani reverses it and on the rebound, he catches Nick in a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Nick rolls around on the canvas, clutching his back, as Giani stomps around the ring, swearing openly in Italian!
2..... Giani kicks out!
Adams: I think Nick's taunting just worked Giani's Italian blood up!
Simone: And if Giani hadn't turned into such a jackass, he'd probably have the fans on his side right now!
Giani turns around to go after Nick, but Nick is at his own corner and tags Vixen into the match!
Simone: Well there goes any momentum that Giani was building for himself.
The crowd cheers as the Bombshell Champion climbs into the ring. Giani argues with Jasmine, pointing at his own partner.
Simone: Well what does he think? that he should be allowed to wrestle against Vixen?
Fuming, Giani storms over to his corner and reluctantly tags Faith in. The fans applaud as Faith climbs through the ropes and shared a brief but heated exchange with Giani before turning her attention to Vixen.
Adams: Faith isn't getting along with her partner any better than Vixen is it seems.
The two women circle the ring and lock up, struggling fiercely! Faith ducks behind Vixen, grabbing her in a rear waistlock. Vixen struggles, then darts around and reverses it, grabbing Faith in the same hold. Faith tries to break the hold as before, but is unable. Faith then bends over and grabs Vixen's foot, tripping her to the mat. Vixen then rolls over and uses a leg scissors to take Faith's own legs out from under her and rolls her up in a leg scissors pinning combination!
1.....
Both women are back on their feet, eyeing one another as their partners shout to them.
2..... Faith gets a shoulder up.
Simone: Well already some of that training from the heavyweight champion is showing itself for Faith.
Adams: Yeah but now she's in there against the very best, the Bombshell champion herself.
Vixen and Faith circle again, and as they move in for another lock up, Faith grabs her in a side headlock.
Simone: Both of these young women are evenly matched in size, but I have to say that Vixen definitely has the experience factor in her corner.
Vixen struggles to escape the headlock but Faith is giving her no space to do so. Vixen then grabs hr around the waist and runs her toward the near corner, but Faith runs right up the turnbuckles and hiptosses her over to the canvas, retaining the headlock! Jasmine checks Vixen's shoulders on the mat.
1..... Vixen pulls her shoulder up.
Adams: Has anyone ever actually, in the history of wrestling, ever been pinned with a side headlock?
Simone: Well if they have, they've never showed their face since.
Vixen struggles on the mat briefly until she uses her legs to grab Faith in a headscissors, breaking the hold. Faith kicks her legs but is unable to get out of the hold. She then rolls over to her hands and knees and does a handstand, then flips over, breaking the scissors and grabbing Vixen back into a headlock on the mat.
Adams: Faith is really showing some talent against the Bombshell's champion.
Simone: Well Vixen knew that her opponent wouldn't be a cake walk, given her association with Spike Staggs.
Both women slowly get to their feet, and Vixen suddenly picks Faith up and brings her down with a belly to back suplex, breaking the headlock and doing some damage to her opponent. Faith grimaces, holding her back in pain. Nick shouts encouragement as Giani yells for his own partner to get up.
Simone: Such a gentleman that Giani Di Luca is.
Vixen pulls Faith up into a near corner and knife edge chops her across the chest.
Crowd: Wooooo!
Simone: God I hate it when they do that!
Vixen brings her out of the corner and sends her into the ropes and goes for a big boot but Faith grabs her foot -- only to have Vixen use her other foot to connect with an Enzugari! Faith crumbles to the mat and Vixen covers her for the pin, hooking the leg!
1.....
Vixen brings her back up and sends her into the corner and she comes running in with a handspring elbow to the chest! Faith staggers out, holding her chest, and Vixen runs off the ropes and plants her face-first with a one handed bulldog! Vixen rolls her over and covers her again!
1.....
Vixen grabs her and sends her into the ropes with an Irish whip and goes for a dropkick, but Faith holds onto the top rope and Vixen crashes on her tailbone. Giani starts shouting for the tag...!
2..... Faith kicks out!
2..... Faith kicks out again.
Simone: Will you look at that? He doesn't seem to trust Faith to handle this.
Faith ignores Giani and covers Vixen.
1.....
Faith pulls Vixen up and brings her over with a vertical suplex. Faith then runs into the ropes and uses the middle rope to springboard over onto Vixen with a guillotine legdrop across the head! Faith covers her again, hooking the leg
1.....
2..... Vixen gets a shoulder up.
2..... Vixen kicks out!
Adams: Faith is going all out against the Bombshell Champion! If she could actually pin her in this match...
Simone: It would definitely catapult Faith up the ladder of contention! It might even make her the number one challenger!
Faith pulls Vixen up and sends her reeling with a European uppercut. Vixen staggers around and Faith grabs her around the waist and brings her over with a release German suplex. Vixen is folded in half but Faith walks past her and begins climbing to the top.
Simone: She could have went for the cover right there! She might have had her!
Vixen slowly gets up to her feet and turns around. Faith jumps for a flying body press but Vixen drops down and Faith crashes into the canvas!
Adams: And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why they call those high risk maneuvers!
Both women are on the mat, gasping for air and hurt! Jasmine checks them both and then begins her count.
1...
Faith crawls toward her corner and reaches for Giani's extended hand -- when he pulls it back with a laugh! Giani then drops down off the ring apron and to the floor!

Simone: What the hell...?
Faith stares in shock as Giani waves 'by' to her and turns and walks back up the aisle as the crowd begins to boo him viciously!
Adams: Where is he going!? Giani is abandoning his tag team partner!
Even Nick and Vixen are surprised by this turn of events as Faith stares after him, calling him back! Vixen then runs up behind her and grabs her in a waistlock. Vixen runs the distracted Faith into the ropes and pulls her back into a Backlund Cradle!
1.....
The crowd cheers and boos as the bell rings, signifying the end of the match!
Ding!
2.....
3!
Ding!
Ding!
Justin: The winners of the match, advancing to the next round ... Vixen and Nick Jones!
Nick is in the ring, celebrating with Diana, Big B and Tony as if he had won the match, while Vixen checks on an upset Faith over her partner abandoning her!
Simone: I don't believe what the hell we just saw! Giani Di Luca just abandoned poor Faith and left her on her own! What a bastard!
Adams: And that also means Vixen and Nick advance to the next round, next week!
Nick walks over and grabs Vixen's arm to raise but she jerks it away and continues to check on Faith who clearly is upset over the turn of events.
We cut backstage where an unidentified car pulls into the parking garage. The security team is suspicious as they approach the black and green Ford GT MK 2. As soon as the door opens, they ready themselves to reprimand the person. This unknown person steps out wearing baggy black jeans and a black NXT hoodie.
Security: Sir, this is parking for authorized personnel only. Fan parking is on the outside.
A groan escapes the mystery man as he starts to get back in the car. As he is hunched over, he stops and looks back at the security team. He fumbles around in his pockets and then flashes them a pass. They study it for a second and then wave him on. His big sunglasses cover most of his face, but you can see him smile as he brushes past them. He whistles as he walks through the doors and down the hallway. He looks back at the camera following him and he waves them along with him. Finally, he approaches the reporter Pussy Willow who is taking a breather. She looks curiously at the newcomer for a moment before picking up the nearby microphone.
PW: Can I??? help you? I wasn???t aware we were having a fan tour the backstage area.
???I???m a special kind of fan, Ms. Willow??????
She looks as if she knows the voice. She doesn???t have much time to guess when the mystery man pulls the hood and glasses off to reveal his signature multi-colored spiked hair. A loud pop is heard from the fans at ringside.
Tommy Staggs: I???m Tommy Staggs, and I???m here for a thrashin???, bashin???, crashin??? good time. The only place to see this is SCW.
PW: Does this mean what I think it means?
Tommy: If you think it means I am on my way to negotiate another contract, then yeah???
PW: And the NXT hoodie means????
Tommy looks down with a smirk. He removes it to show off an open black vest with patches over an a-shirt and a green tie.
Tommy: Oh, that??? No, I???m just a fan. Like I said the last time I was here, I plan on doing things for myself. Nothing against my brothers, but I???m just too extreme. Now if you will excuse me, I got a contract to go sign.
With that, Tommy walks off, leaving Pussy Willow standing there in shock at the announcement. The fans are cheering as we fade.
The scene opens up backstage at Climax Control where we see SCW???s heavy metal bombshell Jessie Salco standing in front of a vending machine trying to decide what to buy from it.
Simone: That young lady made herself two powerful enemies last week when she cost Kain and Alexis Morrison the Blast from the Past match.
Adams: That wasn???t her fault though; blame Drew Patton for not seeing the argument between Jessie and Amanda!
Jessie has apparently made her choice and is searching through her jeans pockets for any loose change, she frowns however when she realizes that she doesn???t have enough money for the vending machine.
Jessie: Oh come on! I didn???t spend that much on shopping this week!
Jessie muttered under her breath as she searched her pockets for loose change, by the time she???s started searching her denim jacket the cameraman spots a familiar face behind her who doesn???t look very happy with the young NXT member.
Christian: Got a minute Jessie?
Christian asks making the Bombshell jump a bit.
Jessie: Oh sorry, I didn???t see you there, I???d offer to get you something but I???m a bit short on change.
Christian: Yeah, that's not why you and I need to have ourselves a bit of a chat. Forget the machine for a moment, okay?
Christian takes a step back and Jessie turns and approaches him.
Christian: Look. I know you have an issue or two where Amanda Cortez is concerned. I understand that. But Mark and I went through a lot of trouble planning this Memorial event. It means a lot to both of us, and I was hoping to all of you, too. But what you did in Amanda's match?
He shakes his head.
Christian: It tarnished the tournament. There's a time and place fr everything but that was not it. You want to get your hands on Amanda? Fine. You come and talk to Mark or myself. You don't go and screw with someone else's chances in this event. That's why I'm telling you that you best not get involved in the Bombshell Tag Team Championship match tonight, or you'll lose your own chance at the roulette title that you've earned.
He stares at Jessie with his eyebrows raised and then adds:
Christian: And in return, as soon as the schedules are freed up, you'll get Cortez, one on one, roulette rules. How's that sound?
Jessie frowns as she realizes what Christian is saying.
Jessie: You???re kidding right? I wouldn???t have gotten involved in the first place if Amanda hadn???t punched me, and for that matter where was Drew when the argument was going on!?
Jessie grunted in annoyance before sighing.
Jessie: Besides that, fine I???ll stay out of tonight???s Main Event, I won???t even go down to ringside for commentary like I did last week, but if Amanda gets involved in my match later she???ll have hell to pay.
Christian shakes his head.
Christian: This isn't up for negotiation, Jessie. You shouldn't have went down there in the first place. Guest commentator or not. I think it's pretty obvious when someone goes down to the ring to commentate on a match involving a rival, something is bound to happen. Let's just try and keep things straight, okay?
Christian turns and starts to leave, then pauses and turns back around. he fishes in his pocket and pulls out a couple dollars and passes them over to her. He motions to the vending machine.
Christian: The change option is wonky anyway.
He turns and heads down the hallway.
The scene cuts backstage where "Beautiful" Billy James is seen storming around through the halls, looking rather frustrated as he can be heard talking to himself.
Billy: Where the hell is that spineless son of a bitch?
Billy then turns a corner and walks right up to some random SCW staff member who is working backstage.
Billy: Excuse me, do you know where Mark Ward is?
The staffer shakes his head and Billy quickly turns away and walks up to one of the production crew.
Billy: What about you? You seen Mark around?
The crew member simply shrugs at Billy who lets out a sigh before turning and walking off. Billy then turns another corner and just as he does, he comes to a quick stop and a big smile comes across his face.
Billy: Jackpot!
Billy quickly runs a few steps down the hall as the camera follows him down until he reaches the person he was looking to chase down, his old friend Jordan "PS" Williams.
Billy: Hey Jordan, how's it going?
Jordan turns upon hearing his voice and quickly sees his friend. The two quickly slap hands and give a quick hug.
Jordan: Hey Billy, things are going good. How you been?
Billy: Not too bad man. Had quite the start to my SCW career, as I'm sure you've heard plenty about.
Jordan: Oh yeah, as I'm sure you can imagine, there were a couple of very unhappy friends of mine after that match.
Billy: I don't doubt it. Speaking of which, I was wondering if you could do me one small favor.
Jordan seems hesitant, as he looks at Billy very suspiciously before responding.
Jordan: What would that be?
Billy: Could you tell me where the hell Mark is?
Jordan: Listen man, I told you I don't want to get involved in any of this.
Billy: I'm not asking you to get involved, I'm just telling you to point me in the right direction.
Jordan: I get what you're saying Billy, but let's be honest. If you can't find Mark, that's probably because Mark doesn't want you to find him, which means if I tell you where he is, that's me getting involved.
Billy: It's not like I won't find him myself eventually. You really think it's that big of a deal to just speed up the process?
Before Jordan can even respond, they are interrupted by a familiar voice which comes from off-camera.
Voice: I think I could help you there.
Both Billy and Jordan turn towards where the voice came from as the camera pans over, to show standing there, with the ever-present cocky smirk on his face, Nick Jones. Upon seeing who it is, Jordan seems rather surprised while Billy looks to be made quite uneasy by Nick's presence.
Billy: What the hell do you want?
Nick: Whoa, whoa... calm yourself old-timer. I'm just trying to help you out.
Billy: And why in the world would I ever trust you?
Nick: Quite frankly, I could give less of a crap if you trust me. I'm still gong to tell you exactly where he is and I'll tell you what, it's not all that overly complicated... he's in his office.
Billy: Bullshit. What do you think, I'm an idiot? That's the first place I checked.
Nick: You may have thought you did, but that's where you're wrong. You see, Mark actually relocated his office just before the start of the show. And to tell you the truth, he did it to avoid you. That said, I can tell you exactly where it is.
Billy: Oh really? Why exactly would you do that?
Nick: Simple. You should know Mark well enough by now that he likes to do things on his terms. It wasn't that he didn't want to see you at all tonight, he just didn't want to see you until he decided it was time. Well, as it turns out, now he's looking for you too, so he told me if I saw you, to send you his way.
Billy: Assuming I believe you, where exactly is this office?
Nick: You need to go the other side of the arena, when you pass the production area you'll see a hall full of arena staff offices, it will be your third one down on the left. You better hurry though, it's going to take you a while to get there and you know our old buddy Mark isn't exactly known for his patience.
Billy seems quite hesitant and thinks it over for a few seconds before responding.
Billy: Fine, but if this turns out to be some sort of trap, you'll learn real quick that the beating I put on your ass two weeks ago will be nothing compared to what will happen to you next time I get my hands on you.
Nick raises his hands in innocence, although he can't seem to keep that smirk off of his face.
Nick: Take it easy. Don't be so damn paranoid, there's no trap. I'm standing right here and sure as hell have no interest in chasing you around this damn place. You know damn well he's not going to be doing anything.
Nick points over towards Jordan as he continues on.
Nick: And you said yourself earlier that Tom isn't around anymore. That just leaves you and Mark, so I'm not sure what you're so damn worried about.
Billy glares at Nick for a few moments silently before eventually turning and quickly heading off in the direction which Nick sent him before. Nick watches Billy run off with that smirk still on his face, as Jordan looks at Nick with a rather confused look on his face.
Jordan: What was that all about?
Nick turns his attention towards Jordan and simply shrugs at him.
Nick: To tell you the truth, I have no idea what the hell is going on, but the limey really did ask me himself to send Billy his way, so I'm sure he's got some sort of plan in mind. Don't worry, I have no doubt we'll find out what's going on one way or another soon enough.
Jordan seems rather hesitant about this whole thing as Nick slaps Jordan across the back before walking off as the scene cuts away.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a first round contest in the "Blast From the Past" Mixed Tag Team tournament! Introducing first, from Portland, Oregon, weighing 120 pounds ... Becky "Ragdoll" Jones!
Becky appears at the top of the entrance ramp wearing an open leather jacket over her ring gear, as she runs to one side punching the air and generally taunting the crowd as she quickly makes her way down the ramp. Once at the ring she hops up onto the side of the ring, before quickly vaulting over the top rope. Now taking off her jacket, she quickly tosses it down to the ring valet as she moves about the ring waiting for the introductions to follow.
Justin: Her tag tea partner hails from San Diego, California, weighing 228 pounds ... Casper Grey!
The lights dim through out the arena as alone spot light hits the entrance ramp as "The Shame of Life" By Butthole Surfers begins blasting on out from the PA sound system, out walks "Mr. 24 Karats" Casper Grey himself from behind the black curtains as he does one single white light lights the entrance isle. He can be seen soaking in the various cheers of abhorrence, and disgust from the booing fans who can be heard as he looks out into the darkness. As he slowly walks down to the ring, the arena lights flicker back on once at ring side he walks around to the steel steps and walks on up them, before stepping inside the ring he wipes the bottoms of his boots on the side of the ring apron before stepping inside the squared circle and awaiting for his opponent.
Simone: This has got to be one of the more ... unique, combinations that we've seen yet here in the mixed tag team tournament.
Adams: Being awfully politically correct there Belinda.
Simone: It's my New Year's Resolution. Despite all appearances, this team could easily go all the way. Casper is one of the most promising newcomers in SCW in ages, and Ragdoll is a former roulette champion.
The camera goes back to ringside as Casper and Ragdoll share distant looks with one another.
Justin: Their opponents: First from Tampa, Florida, weighing 132 pounds ... Roxi Johnson!
"Outsider" plays over the PA system. Once the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson emerges from the backstage area, She pauses at the top of the entranceway, soaking in the atmosphere. She stares ahead at the ring and begins a slow walk towards it. She pauses from time to time looking around the arena. After a moment, she steps on the apron, and enters the ring through the ropes. Once inside, she runs to the nearest corner, jumps on it, and raises her arms to the cheers of the audience.
Simone: A wrestler who thinks she's a superhero...
Adams: Next thing you know there'll be a wrestler who thinks his teddy bear is ali-oh, wait.
Justin: Her partner, from London, England, weighing 230 pounds, he is one-half of the new NWA World Tag Team Champions ... Gabriel!
The opening chords to Nirvana???s ???Come As You Are??? starts to blast through the speakers, as the lights drop down. Flashing purple and blue lights flicker through the darkness as the words ???You will believe?????? covers the big screen. Smoke appears in the ring as the words on the screen changes to ?????? what I make you believe???. A flash of bright light jumps up from the middle of the ring, and Gabriel is seen standing already in the ring amongst the smoke and lights, wearing black leather pants and a black leather waistcoat, a long chain hanging from his neck, with a huge medallion with the letter G in a circle. He steps back, leaning back against the ropes, looking around the fans with an unfazed look across his face as he removes his jacket and lifting the heavy chain over his neck and hands it to the referee as the music stops.
Simone: Casper Grey has been wanting competition in SCW, and you're not going to get much better than Gabriel! SCW Heavyweight Champion! SCW Tag Team Champion! NWA World Tag Team Champion!
Adams: Boyfriend of Odette Ryder! That'd be enough right there for any man in SCW to be jealous as all hell toward Gabriel!
Without asking, Casper directs Ragdoll to step outside so that he can begin. She argues with him briefly before she relents and steps through the ropes. Gabriel and Roxi exchange brief words before Roxi follows suit and steps outside. The men are set to begin and Drew Patton calls for the bell!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Gabriel and Casper come out of their corners and begin to slowly circle the ring, eyeing one another closely. They stop in the center of the ring and lock up, collar and elbow. Both men are evenly matches and struggle before Gabriel slowly backs Casper up and pins him against the ropes.
Adams: Think we'll see a clean break?
Simone: You never know with a member of the Sins. Gabriel has the fans on his side but what's lurking in that man's head is as mysterious as his magic tricks.
Casper yells at Drew to get him to back off.
1...
2...
3...
The official counts to three before Gabriel steps back, breaking cleanly. Roxi applauds from her corner for her partner's 'heroic' actions. The men lock up again and again, Gabriel backs Casper against the ropes. Drew calls for another clean break but before Gabriel is able, Grey grabs a handful of his hair and pulls him back into the ropes himself. Casper takes a swing but Gabriel ducks and Casper almost topples over the ropes with his own momentum.
Simone: That would have been embarrassing!
The crowd cheers and Casper kicks the bottom rope and yells for them to keep quiet.
Adams: Rude!
Casper turns back around toward Gabriel and raises his hand, calling for a test of strength. Gabriel looks at him with a quirked brow, then shrugs. He steps closer and raises his hand and both men interweave their fingers. They then raise their other hands when Casper buries a knee into Gabriel's midsection.
Simone: I'm a little surprised Gabriel fell for that.
Adams: I think his mind is on certain other things.
Casper drives repeated forearm shots down into Gabriel's back, sending him to his knees. Gabriel grabs him by the head and slams him face-first into the canvas. Grey places a boot on the small of Gabriel's back and poses, showing off to the booing crowd. Casper then reaches down and pulls Gabriel to his feet. He Irish whips him into the ropes and swings for a clothesline, but Gabriel ducks around and grabs him in a rear waistlock. Gabriel runs him forward into the ropes and rolls him back into a cradle.
1.....
Casper reverses it, pulling him back into his own cradle.
1..... He grabs two handfuls of tights!
2.....

3- Gabriel kicks out!
Adams: That was close! Casper almost stole that one fast!
Both men are up and Casper ducks a blow from Gabriel and connects instead with a spinning heel kick. Gabriel is doubled over and Casper runs into the ropes and goes for a one handed bulldog but Gabriel counters, catching him and delivering a swift back suplex. Gabriel darts off the ropes and jumps for an elbow drop but Casper rolls out of the way and Gabriel lands with a crash. Casper then runs into the ropes and jumps for a rolling senton but this time it is Gabriel that rolls out of the way. Casper sits up and holds his back, and Gabriel jumps over him with a neck snap. Then in one fluid move, Gabriel somersaults over into his own corner and tags in Roxi.
Simone: Now both ladies have to get into the ring.
Both women charge through the ropes and immediately target the other!
Adams: Whoa there is fire in the eyes of both of these hell cats!
They rush one another and Ragdoll swings at her but Roxi ducks under the blow and comes off the ropes with a leaping clothesline. Ragdoll jumps to her feet, stunned and Roxi comes running up and hits her with a standing dropkick! Roxi then runs into the ropes again and this time Ragdoll catches her but Roxi turns it to her advantage and rolls right up her shoulders and takes her down with the Yoshi-Tonic and turns it into a quick pin!
1.....
2..... Ragdoll kicks out!
Adams: Roxi is on fire tonight!
Simone: She must think Ragdoll is the name of the latest DC super villain.
Roxi pulls Becky up by the arm and goes to send her into the far corner but Ragdoll reverses it. Becky then charges in after her but Roxi hops up and Ragdoll hits the turnbuckles. Roxi then pulls her back in and straddles her shoulders and takes Becky over with a victory roll and hooks her legs.
1.....
Roxi grabs her to bring her to her feet but Becky drives the point of her elbow into Roxi's midsection, doubling her over. She then bulls into Roxi, plowing her back into the corner. Ragdoll drives three forearms into Roxi's head, and then Becky steps back and presses her foot up into the superhero's throat, choking her as Drew counts for the break!
1...
Roxi goes to kick at her but Ragdoll catches her foot and heaves her over the top rope and onto the apron. Ragdoll grabs her by the hair and goes to run her face into the corner but Roxi blocks the attempt with her foot and she instead slams Ragdoll's head into the corner as the crowd and Gabriel counts along!
1...
Roxi stops and Ragdoll staggers back, holding her head, and Roxi springboards off the top rope and connects with a Hurricanrana!
2..... Ragdoll kicks out.

Simone: That was a slick move there by Roxi!
Ragdoll skids close enough to her corner where Casper reaches in and tags himself back into the match!
Adams: Here come the dudes again!
Casper climbs through the ropes as Gabriel hop over the top and into the ring. They charge like two bulls and Gabriel ducks around Grey and turns him up and over with a sunset flip into the pin.
1.....
Both men are up immediately and Gabriel grabs him right away into a side headlock. Casper struggles briefly before he tries to fire Gabriel off the ropes -- but Gabriel gets a handful of those dreads and holds on, pulling him right back into the headlock. The crowd laughs and cheers as Gabriel feigns innocence when Drew questions him about Grey's frantic complaints. Grey then tries again and this time does whip him off of the ropes. Gabriel comes off as Grey drops down and runs over his body. Casper jumps up and goes for a backdrop but Gabriel leapfrogs over him. Casper runs into the ropes and Gabriel drops down and uses his feet to monkey flip Casper, sending him flying into the air and crashing into the canvas. Gabriel is right on him, grabbing Grey and going to whip him into the corner but Casper reverses it. Grey then charges in and as Gabriel goes to kick at him, Grey grabs both of his feet and yanks him out, causing Gabriel to fall down on his tailbone!
2..... Casper kicks out.
Simone: Oh damn! That was a costly mistake! Gabriel has been doing well enough, but not as well as he should be.
Adams: Yeah he doesn't seem to bringing his A game. He seems kind of distracted...
Simone: Clumsy, almost.
Casper grabs his leg and pulls him into the center of the ring and covers him.
1.....
Upset, Casper pulls him into a sitting position and swings three blows down around into his face. Grey then uses his fingers to gouge at his eyes and Drew calls for the break!

Casper is up and grabs Gabriel by the leg and turns him over into a half crab.

2..... Gabriel kicks out.
Simone: I can't believe the way Casper Grey is handling Gabriel!
Adams: yeah Gabe has made a couple mistakes in this match that has let Casper take control.
Simone: If Gabriel doesn't get his head back into this, his team won't be advancing into the next round.
Casper leans far back, working Gabriel's back and knee joint with the half crab. Casper yells at Drew who checks with Gabriel but the match continues. Gabriel grimaces in pain and props himself up on his forearms to ease the hold's pressure. Gabriel then pushes up and rolls over and atop Casper in a fast pin attempt!
1.....
2..... Casper escapes!
Adams: Ssssso close!
The screen flickers in to life
Adams: What's going on?
The camera shows the backstage area. Medical personel rush around someone on the floor. The camera moves in closer to see Odette Ryder laying on the floor!
Simone: What the hell happened back there?
Gabriel looks on at the screen, running his fingers through his hair
Adams: Gabriel and Odette have had their problems, but that's still his girlfriend
Gabriel turns around, a look of confusion on his face, unsure what to do but Casper cuts off any momentum of Gabriel with a Sayama Feint Kick. Gabriel goes down and Casper covers him again.
1.....
Casper yells at Drew and slaps his hands together three times in rapid succession. He grabs hold of Gabriel and pulls him up. He ducks behind him and right into a Dragon Sleeper, bringing him down to the canvas!
2..... Gabriel gets the shoulder up!
Simone: This could be it for Gabriel! Grey might have him right here!
But Gabriel quickly uses his legs to roll them both over so Gabriel is on his hands and knees and Casper's hold is broken quickly.
Simone: Okay, that was smooth by Gabriel.
Casper stands up in the same position and jumps up, landing on Gabriel's back and knocking him flat on his chest. Casper then sits on his back and traps him in a camel clutch.
Adams: God, come on man! Get your head in the game! What is wrong with you!
Roxi claps and stomps, rallying the crowd behind Gabriel as the magician refuses to give in as per Drew's requests. Gabriel slowly starts to power out, rising to his knees. Casper stands up and goes to repeat the same take down, but just as he jumps, Gabriel rolls over onto his back with his knees drawn up and...
Adams: OWWWW!!!!
Simone: I guess that's one way to counter that!
Casper's eyes are wide open and he stands bowel legged! He closes his eyes tightly and grabs himself, slowly sinking down to his knees as Gabriel crawls toward his corner! Roxi reaches, stretching and Gabriel gets the tag!
The crowd is alive as both women leap into the ring! Roxi runs over and uses Casper's wide back as a launching pad and she crashes right into Ragdoll with a leaping bodypress! Roxi does not even attempt a cover as she drags Ragdoll to her feet and Irish whips her into the ropes, catching her with a running elbow right to the sternum!
Roxi grabs Becky again and sends her into the ropes again but this time Ragdoll comes off and sweeps Roxi's legs out from under her! Ragdoll has Roxi pinned down on the mat and she starts to assault her with lefts and rights as the superhero tries to use her arms to shield herself! Roxi pulls her up with a handful of hair and tries an Irish whip but Roxi counters with a reversal! Roxi scoops her up for a sidewalk slam but Ragdoll scissors her head with her legs and takes her over! Roxi gets to her feet and Ragdoll doubles her over with a boot to the stomach. Becky then sets her up for a powerbomb but Roxi starts hammering away at her head, resulting in Becky crashing on her back with Roxi right on top! Roxi pulls Becky up and drives her right back down with the Eye of the Hurricane! She gets to her feet and pulls Ragdoll over toward the corner. Roxi then runs up the corner and bounces off with the Superstar press!
Simone: Roxi has turned this match completely around!
Roxi then grabs Ragdoll and traps her in the Justice Lock! Drew quickly moves in and Becky taps the mat with her palm and the referee calls for the bell!
Ding!
The crowd cheers as Casper swears in anger and disgust as Drew raises the arms of Roxi and Gabriel.
Ding!
Ding!
Justin: Here are your winners, advancing to the next round of the tournament ... Roxi Johnson and Gabriel!
The fans cheer as Casper just drops down to the ringside floor and leaves in an angry huff while Roxi and Gabriel shake hands and raise their arms again in celebration. Gabriel whispers something to Roxi, who nods, and Gabriel quickly leaves the ring
Simone: Roxi and Gabriel move on to the tournament quarter finals, and Casper Grey shows himself to be a real piece of work. he didn't even check to see if his own partner was alright! He just left her!
Adams: Jerk.
The scene cuts backstage again as "Beautiful" Billy James is seen quickly moving his way through the back hallways. He makes a quick turn down one of the side halls and as he does, immediately starts counting off the doors, coming to a stop directly in front of the third door on the left. Billy stops in front of the door for a moment and seems to prepare himself before quickly moving forward and going to open the door. However, Billy comes to an immediate stop as the door doesn't open and he giggles the door handle only to find that the door is locked. Billy scowls and shakes his head before knocking on the door and then taking a step back. Billy waits and after a few seconds, starts to impatiently tap his foot before knocking again. After a few more moments, it becomes quite clear that nobody is coming to answer the door, Billy frustratedly steps away and starts to look around, eventually stopping a SCW staff member who happens to be passing by.
Billy: Excuse me!
The staff member stops and turns towards Billy.
Billy: Could you tell me who's office this is?
SCW Staffer: Oh yes, that's Mr. Ward's office.
Billy: Thank you.
SCW Staffer: Glad to help.
The staffer keeps on walking down the hall as Billy turns back towards the door with a scowl on his face.
Billy: I bet that rat bastard thinks this is real freakin' funny, huh?
Billy starts looking all around him in the hallway area until something catches his eye. Suddenly, a big smile starts to come across his face.
Billy: He's not going to think it's funny for long.
Billy walks over to an area a little down the hall that has equipment piled up on the side. Billy then grabs a filled up equipment cart and starts to roll it down the hall back towards Mark's office. Billy then takes the cart, lines it up with the door and then uses all his strength to push it as hard and fast as possible right into the door, causing the door to slam into the door with some serious force and ultimately popping the door right open. Billy then pushes the cart out of the way as he has a big smile on his face.
Billy: What's that? Come in? Don't mind if I do.
Billy heads straight in through the busted door into Mark's office. As Billy gets inside and looks around, he sees the typical setup of Mark's office, including his desk and all other furniture, but Mark himself is nowhere to be seen. Upon realizing this, Billy's expression quickly changes to that of frustration.
Billy: You have GOT to be kidding me!
Billy slams his fists down on the top of Mark's desk. As he does that, something suddenly catches his eye, as he sees an envelope sitting on top of that desk that has "Billy" written on the front of it. Billy grabs the envelope and quickly rips it open, pulling a piece of paper out of it which he unfolds and then begins to read.
Billy: To my old friend Billy, you snooze you lose, buddy. Maybe you've just gotten a little too slow with all your years away from the ring. Better luck next time. Nah, not really. From, your superior, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward.
Billy immediately takes the note and rips it up before throwing the shreds onto the ground. Billy then turns and kicks over the chair sitting behind Mark's desk before picking the desk lamp up off of it and heaving it at the wall. Billy then takes the desk and flips it over, causing everything else on it to go flying off and across the room. Billy then looks around the mess he created before storming off out of the office as the scene cuts away.
Gabriel appears backstage, running through the hallways. He grabs a staff member.
Gabriel: Where's Odette?
The staff member points towards the medical room. Gabriel forces open the door and pushes it open to see Odette laying on a medical table.... with Jordan Williams, his hand on her arm.
Gabriel: What the?
Jordan smirks at Gabriel.
Jordan: And where was you when your "girlfriend" was getting attacked.
Gabriel: Where the hell was you?
Jordan just stares at Gabriel
Gabriel: I was in the ring, I can't be in two places at once.
Gabriel moves towards Odette, who stares blankly at him.
Odette: What are you doing here?
Gabriel: Well, what do you think?
Odette: I haven't heard from you for a couple of days and now you just show up because someone jumped me? Where was you when I was getting attacked, huh?
Gabriel: In the ring
Odette: Typical
Gabriel: What is?
Odette: When I need you, you're not there
Gabriel: Pot, kettle and black comes to mind.
Odette: Look, just leave, I'm not arguing with you. I'm in good hands.
Jordan looks up at Gabriel.
Jordan: Yeah Gabes, I got this.
Jordan smirks at Gabriel. Gabriel shakes his head and turns for the door, turning his head to look at Odette, shaking his head, before walking out of the door.
The scene opens on the main part of the arena. The crowd awaits the next match, but "Black and Silver" by Xandria begins to play over the loud speakers. A black mist begins to roll over the stage and ramp way, as Necra appears at the back of the stage. She was dressed in her usual attire and starts to make her way down to the ring as the crowd is mixed with cheers and boos.
Simone: What is she doing out here?
Adams: I don't know, but she doesn't have the big guy with her. She's creepy but he stands over me and he scares the crap out of me!
Simone: It's no surprise... Necra is amazing in the ring, and I think tonight she is going to do everything she can to intimidate Laura and Amanda.
Necra moves down the ramp way and reaches the ring. Necra seems to move on silent feet, as she walks up the stairs and slides into the ring. She calls for a mic, as her music cuts, and looks around at the crowd.
Necra: Now I know you are all wondering why I have graced you with my presence here tonight before my match. Well I'm here to bring you such wonderful news... But to the rest of the bombshells in the back... I have to say it is horrible. You see a couple of weeks ago after the show, Amy, Roxi and myself had a little meeting, and we have come up with something so wonderfully horrible, that it will make all of the bombshells cringe when they hear the news.
Simone: What is Necra talking about?
Adams: I don't know. But that doesn't sound good.
Necra looks at the crowd, as she paces back and forth in the ring.
Necra: Well do you want to hear what it is?
The crowd cheers loudly, as Necra looks at the crowd with her dark eyes filling with evil.
Necra: I was hoping you would say that. The three of us are forming a stable! I know that doesn't seem like it's important but it truly is and I want to warn the rest of the bombshells backstage that we are not going to back down from the likes of you... We are not afraid of Odette, Misty, Trish or anyone else that is backstage! We have already proven that we can beat anyone back there, and we will continue to do so! If any of you think we are weak, think again, and be ready to face the "Sisters of the Light!"
"Sisters of the Light" by Xandria begins to play over the loud speakers as the lights go out and comes back up after a few minutes. As the lights come up, we see that Necra is gone and her symbol has been burned into the mat.
Simone: Holy crap! Amy, Necra, and Roxi have formed a stable? That is not going to be good. The three of them alone can be dangerous! Now the three of them are working as a team?
Adams: I can't believe it! These three are insane, and now the rest of the bombshells have a problem! But the real question is where did Necra go?
The camera focuses on the symbol in the middle of the ring, as the scene fades out.
The cameras back stage catch someone yelling as they turn the corner to find Amanda Cortez yelling at Trevor Irons.
Amanda: So you thought training was more important that taking me out to dinner...huh is that it? I tell you something, you hick, I will not be a third wheel. I am your partner now....I thought we had something special.
Trevor throws up his arms in frustration.
Trevor: What we HAD....I don't remember because I was drinking...and everything after that is like some terrible dream....I mean I have been like your slave this week and Max is still my partner.
Amanda turns away making noises that might be crying but seem a little overdramatic. Trevor is about to say something else and stops himself.
Amanda: I see how it is...so I don't mean anything to you.
Trevor: Now come on that is not what I said...
Aleksei Koji dressed in his best suit strides over to both of them.
Aleksei: I have listened in enough! At first it was entertaining and I thought maybe you two would make out but I have heard enough. Tattoo lady....take your fake tears and go back to your girlfriend.
Amanda spins around fast and marches right up to Aleksei, slapping him in the face. Aleksei just grins, rubbing his face a little bit.
Amanda: This is not over Trevor....you owe me and you ARE still my partner...we are going to WIN this thing whether you like it or not.
Amanda stalks away and Aleksei starts laughing. Max walks over looking less than pleased.
Max: You have woman issues man.
Trevor: Don't I know it. I kind of wished we hadn't won last week.
Aleksei: Nonsense. You just need to not care what women think of you that way they have no power. This Blast from Past is good for both of you. You do well in it and people take notice. Not to mention I think there is some kind of prize at the end....who doesn't like prizes.
Trevor: Yeah thats I well and it good but what about our rematch?
Aleksei: With Blood Omen?
Max: Yeah, Trevor was right we are owed that.
Aleksei: Boys, don't worry. I am your manager now and I will make sure you get what you want. For now ride this crazy mix tag team ride until it stops....either way after it is over you will get your rematch AND I will make sure there will be no int interruptions this time.
Max: Thats fine by me I am not the one doing errands for some hellcat.
Trevor: Damn, I need a beer.
Aleksei: Yes! None of us have matches so let us head into the Party Horde section and get messed up!
Aleksei runs off so excited about drinking that he is nearly skipping.
Max: He sure is strange for a manager....
Trevor: Yep.
The two partners head off after Aleksei.
Justin: The following contest is a singles match, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first; to be accompanied by Sapphira, originally hailing from Utrecht, in the Netherlands, but now resides in New York, New York, weighing 239 pounds ... Goth!
"Darkside" blasts across the sound system as Goth walks out to the ring, he is dressed in a long black Goth like robes. He is followed to the ring by Sapphira, who is wearing her usual Goth dress. Goth stops halfway the entrance way and stares at the crowd who are booing the owner of the AWA who grins and walks further on. In the ring he lets Sapphira take off his robe and he awaits his opponent.
Simone: Goth made a huge impression at the last super event, New Year Rising, when not only was he in the main event, but he eliminated two members of the opposing team personally. That has definitely vaulted him up the ranks here in Sin City Wrestling, and he has quite the test here tonight with Ace Baldwin.
Adams: That's Amazing Ace Baldwin, Belinda.
Simone: He is going to have to earn that nickname tonight if he's going to make it past Goth.
Justin: His opponent is from Galveston, Texas, weighing 245 pounds ... Amazing Ace Baldwin
"Who Dat" begins to start up in the first couple of bars, no beat, the lights begin to flicker back and fourth between a few colors before the music stops completely and the lights go out before the beat of the song picks up and you can hear the "Who dat, who dat" in the first lines of the song before the lights flicker to life and Ace Baldwin is standing at the top of the ramp to an eruption from the crowd. He bobs his head to the music as the song really picks up into the first verse as he bounces down the ramp and slaps hands on the way down before he stops in front of the ring and flips his hood off on the vest he is wearing and motions for the crowd to get louder before he slides into the ring and goes to the turnbuckle, letting out a warrior cry when Goth suddenly ambushes him from behind, slamming a forearm into his back and he then tears him from his perch and throws him down to the canvas -- Ace slamming landing on the back of his head!
Simone: Goth isn't even waiting for the bell!
The assigned official, Drew Patton, signals for the bell as Justin decent dives from the ring!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Goth immediately begins to stomp down on the stunned Ace Baldwin, ignoring the referee's pleas for him to back off and allow Baldwin to get to his feet!
Adams: If Drew thinks Goth is going to show mercy, well where's he been the past year?
Goth drops down to his knees and grabs a handful of Ace's hair with one hand and rains down a flurry of fists into his head with the other! Goth bats the referee's hands away and drags Ace up to his feet and then throws him through the top and middle rope and "Amazing" Ace lands unceremoniously on the floor. Drew tries to step in Goth's way but Goth pushes him aside and goes out through the ropes and drops to the floor himself.
Simone: You know I'd think Drew would have more sense than to try to physically intervene in any way with Goth.
Goth grabs a power cord from the floor and wraps it around Ace's throat and he begins to viciously choke Baldwin out as the crowd voices its objections while Drew leans through the ropes and shouts for Goth to end this and return to the ring!
Adams: Why isn't he disqualifying Goth!?
Simone: I guess because it's happening outside of the ring? Who the hell knows why referees do anything!
Drew starts to issue a mandatory count...
1...
Goth grabs him and drags him to his feet, then attempts to slam his face into the apron but Ace manages to block it. Ace then counters and grabs Goth's head and slams his head into the apron himself! The crowd begins to rally behind Ace as the young man attempt to follow up but Goth rakes his eyes, ending that.
2...
3...
4... And Goth releases his grip on the cord around Ace's throat and shoves him to the floor.
Adams: Goth is not letting up here on Ace.
Simone: Ace Baldwin has been getting some big time hype coming into SCW, and it seems Goth wants to end any hopeful prospects the young man has.
Goth drags Ace up and Irish whips him into the ropes where he nearly decapitates him with a clothesline! Sapphira shrieks and cackles, jumping up and down, as Goth goes in for the cover, hooking the leg!
1.....
2..... Ace kicks out!
Simone: No! There is still fire in that kid!
Goth pulls Ace up again and sends him hard into the corner. Goth immediately charges in and leaps but Ace moves aside suddenly and Goth crashes into the corner! The crowd comes to life as Goth turns around slowly and Ace begins to assault him with repeated kicks to the stomach! Ace then climbs the corner with Goth pinned in and he begins to punch him in the head as the crowd counts along!
1...
Goth then grabs him around the legs and brings him out for an inverted atomic drop but Ace blocks it. Goth swings wildly at him but Ace ducks it and hits an atomic drop! Ace runs into the ropes and comes flying off with a spear, plowing right into Goth and sending him crashing back toward the ropes! The crowd is going wild!

Simone: Listen to these fans! They are really behind this young man!
Ace moves in but Goth rolls out of the ring, escaping from Baldwin's onslaught. The crowd boos and Goth swears viciously at them. Ace complains to Drew and the referee turns and begins the count.

Adams: Look! Look at Ace!
Ace has went to the top of the corner! Sapphira screams in warning but Goth turns around and Ace leaps from the top and crashes right into Goth with a flying bodypress that brings the crowd to its feet!
"SCW!"
And although stunned himself, Ace pulls Goth up and rolls him back inside of the ring.
"SCW!"
"SCW!"
Simone: Ace is not wasting any time in there! He wants Goth inside of the ring where he can beat him!
Adams: He could have beaten him on the outsi...
Simone: I'm aware of that Jason!
Ace pulls him up into a front facelock and brings him over with a vertical suplex. Ace doesn't let go, however, and pulls him right back up and suplexes him over again. Ace pulls him up a third time but this time, he hooks the leg and hits a bridging fisherman's suplex!
1.....
2.....
3 - Goth kicks out!
Adams: Oh god that was close! Ace almost had him!
Ace slams his hand into the mat, frustration showing on his handsome face as he pulls Goth back up. Ace ducks behind him and immediately locks in the cobra clutch! Goth begins struggling madly as Sapphira screams and is almost in the ring!
Simone: Get that lunatic out of there!
Adams: There went your New Year's resolution.
Simone: Aw Hell!
Ace then hooks a foot behind Goth's ankle and brings him down with a Russian Legsweep! Ace floats over into a cover and hooks the leg!
1.....
Ace pulls him up into a double underhook and brings him over with a suplex. Ace then stands up and signals to the crowd before going up top! The fans stand and cheer as Ace perches on the top turnbuckle while Goth gets to his feet. Goth turns around and Ace leaps for a high missile dropkick -- but Goth moves and Ace crashes on his back!
2..... Goth gets the shoulder up!
Adams: Oh God! Ace just crashed and burned from a height of ten feet at least!
Sapphira laughs and applauds as Goth dives atop of Ace in a cover, grabbing a handful of tights!
1.....
2.....
3 - Ace kicks out!
Simone: I am amazed Ace was able to kick out!
Adams: I'm amazed we didn't get censored by the amount of ass crack we just saw!
Goth stands up and backs Drew Patton into the corner, menacing the official over what he believes to be a slow count. Goth then turns and grabs Ace by the hair and pulls him up to a standing position. Goth ducks behind him and goes for a belly to back suplex but Ace manages to hold on and Goth loses his balance and both men topple over the top rope and they crash to the ringside floor in a heap!
Simone: I don't know how these two men can manage to continue after the fight they've been putting up!
Goth uses the ring apron to pull himself to his feet and Ace uses the barricade. No sooner are they back up then they move in for the kill and a wild exchange of lefts and rights between the two men erupts!
Adams: And the fight continues!
Brutal blows to one another's heads and bodies are traded back and forth when Goth dives forward and crashes into Baldwin, taking him down to the floor as Drew has no other alternative than to begin his count!
1...
Goth has Ace pinned down beneath his weight and starts throwing fists into his head!
3...
Ace rolls him off and straddles Goth's chest and answers back with his own barrage of heavy fists into Goth's head!
5...
Goth rakes Ace's eyes, temporarily blinding him and he throws him off!
7...
Goth gets up, pulling Ace up right along with him. Goth goes to send him into the metal ring steps but Ace reverses it and Goth crashes into them instead!
9...
Ace dives inside the ring!
10!
Drew calls for the bell and the crowd ignites in cheers for Ace!

Adams: Did he do it? Did he make it back in, in time?
Drew grabs Aces hand and raises it and the fans cheer!
Simone: He did indeed!
Justin: The winner of the match, as a result of a count out ... Amazing Ace Baldwin!
The fans cheer as Sapphira shakes her head 'no' wildly! Goth is seething as he holds his shoulder, glaring at Ace in the ring!
Adams: Oh Goth is mad! He is pissed!
Simone: Gee what gave it away?
Goth slides inside of the ring and he swings a double axehandle blow into Ace's back, knocking him to the canvas! Goth begins to stomp down on him as the crowd boos!
Adams: Sore loser!
Drew tries to end this but Goth rears a fist back at the referee, and Patton jumps back! Goth turns away and Ace sweeps his legs out from under him and he begins to fight back, pinning him down and throwing punches! The bell continues to ring!
Simone: We need security! Get security out here!
Both men are rolling around on the mat, throwing fists as security personnel rush to the ringside area! Goth grabs Ace by the throat with both hands and begins choking him! Ace gasps and chokes, then does the same and grabs Goth by his neck in a choke as well! The security grabs Goth and Ace and it takes several moments but they finally manage to pry them away from one another!
Simone: I don't believe what we just witnessed between Goth and Ace! That wasn't a wrestling match! It was a fight, pure and simple!
Three of the security drags Goth out beneath the ropes and to the outside where Sapphira is, and the female lunatic screams for them to unhand her meal ticket! Two more are holding Ace by the arms, restraining him inside of the ring as the "Amazing One" stares Goth down as he is forcibly removed from the ringside area.
Adams: I don't think this is over! Ace wins by count out but Goth does not let things like this go lightly.
A quaint and quiet house, one that you would find in one of the more "well off" neighborhoods in suburban United States. Two floors. A two car garage. The hedges perfectly trimmed around the front porch and leading well into the spacious backyard. A large pool.
A light fog rolling in along the dewy grass...
The Doberman at the front of it's doghouse whimpers as the fog sifts along the grounds and the animal backs up in its home, under no threat but still under the chilling effects.
Inside the house, all is quiet save for the soft sounds of young girls giggling from upstairs. Moving closer along up the stairs and down the hall, the flickering light emanating from the open bedroom door casts a dancing glow along the otherwise darkened hall.
A childish tradition of a slumber party in full swing, even at such a late hour. Four girls are sitting in a circle, each holding a pillar candle in their hands.
Girl #1: It's your turn Nancy.
Nancy: This is stupid.
Girl #2: Scared?
Nancy: No, I'm not scared! It just doesn't work! You've all tried it and it doesn't work!
Girl #3: Well if it doesn't work, then there's no reason to be scared. So go ahead.
Her three friends tease and egg her on until the teenage girl named Nancy sighs openly and relents, standing up.
Nancy: Fine! But this is so stupid!
She stands up and moves toward the bedroom door, with her three friends trailing after her into the hall.
Girl #2: Remember, you have to say it ten times, or else it won't work.
Nancy: Right. Is that what you did to make it work?
The three girls follow Nancy down the upstairs hall to the open bathroom. Nancy steps inside and shuts the door behind her, with only the candle in her hand for light. She looks into the mirror and despite her confidence, she feels the caress of an icy chill glide down along her back. She says in a whisper...
Nancy: Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary.
She stands there and waits without expectation, staring into the mirror. She then shakes her head and is about to call out to them when a slight breeze crosses over her skin and the flame of her candle blows out. Nancy gasps and looks around wildly in the dark when she notices the small window slightly ajar. She frowns, having been positive that it had been closed before. She shrugs and curses at herself for getting even remotely scared when suddenly there is a pounding on the bathroom door and she screams!
The laughter of her friends give her a wave of relief flooding through her. She turns to the door and jerks it open.
Nancy: You guys are asses!
This only makes her friends cackle louder as all four girls return back down the hall and toward the bedroom. Never minding the shadowy figure now standing behind the bathroom door, yellowish eyes reflecting in the mirror where Nancy had just stood.
Backstage, outside of the Women???s locker room, Erik Staggs is seen talking to Tattooed Goddesses members, Amanda Cortez and Laura Jackson. The fans boo from ringside as the smooth talking Bond-like boss leans up against the wall, staring in a spot that is obviously not their eyes.
Erik: I scratch your backs, and you scratch mine. It is as simple as that. I know how fond you are of those tag belts??? Ms. Cortez and Ms. Jackson.
Amanda nods her head, flaunting what she has in front of Erik, and it definitely distracts him. Laura places her fingers under Erik???s chin and lifts his head up a bit so that he can look into her eyes.
Laura: Hi, we are right here. I don???t think we are interested Mr. Sta???
Amanda turns around and pouts her lips out as she looks into Laura???s eyes. She bounces around in a pouty manner.
Amanda: Uh! Babe, I really think we should do this. I would be so happy, and you know that when I???m happy, we are both happy???
Erik smiles brightly for more reasons than one when Mandy bounces in front of him. He nods his head along with Amanda, and Laura adjusts her tag belt as she sighs. She tries not to give in but she can???t help but give in.
Laura: I guess you have got yourself a deal Mr. Staggs???
She reaches forward and shakes hands with Erik. He kisses her hand in a gentleman manner. He extends his hand to Amanda and does the same. The two ladies walk into the locker room as Erik whistles and walks down the hallway.
Matthew Kennedy stands next to The Skar brothers. The camera moves over to see Tony and Big B.
Big B: Are you sure this is what he said to do?
Tony: That's what the boss said.
Big B looks down to his hand, holding apples.
Big B: Ok...
Big B rears his arm back, and throws an apple towards Matthew Kennedy. The apple flies through the air and cracks Matthew Kennedy on the side of the head.
Tony: Good throw.
Matthew looks around irate to see Big B holding the other apple.
Kennedy: What the...
Kennedy looks at the Skar brothers.
Kennedy: Well don't just bloody stand there, get them two idiots!
The Skar brothers take off in pursuit of Big B and Tony, but Hot Stuff Mark Ward appears in front of Matthew Kennedy. Kennedy grinds his teeth but Hot Stuff puts his finger up.
HS: Ah Matthew, before you say a word, thought I'd come over here and tell you to your face. You challenged me last week, stupid move mate, very stupid. I declined that challenge because let's be honest, I could beat you in my sleep. So before you try and attack me again, which is probably on your mind, I figured I'd come to you and tell you, I will not be facing you in the near future, in fact, I won't be facing you at all.
Kennedy: Coward.
Hot Stuff smiles
HS: Still no sale from me, but you do have this habit of pissing people off. You want a bit of a challenge, I got one for ya.
Before Hot Stuff continues, Nick Jones slams a chair across Kennedy's back. Kennedy stumbles towards Hot Stuff but Hot Stuff just spins him around, in to a vicious chair shot to the head from Nick. Kennedy hits the ground hard and Nick leans down, slamming shots to his head. Hot Stuff picks up the apple, previously thrown by Big B and forces it in to Kennedy's mouth.
HS: There ya go, that should keep you quiet for a while.
Hot Stuff pats Kennedy on the face.
HS: Now, last time, I won't be facing you, but I know a man who would happily kick the hell out of ya whenever you wanted.
Hot Stuff stands up and looks at Nick.
HS: Not a bad plan after all.
Nick looks at Kennedy on the floor before kicking him in the ribs and walking away.
The cameras open up backstage just outside the office of Erik Staggs. The door is open just a crack, and Erik's voice can be heard, followed by the voice of two-time former Bombshell Champion, Misty.
Erik: Have you given any thought to my offer?
Misty: Would I be here if I hadn't? If you had approached me on this offer last year, I would have shot you down on the spot. However, things have changed. I have changed.
Erik: And for the better, my dear.
Misty: I couldn't agree more. You have a deal, Mr. Staggs.
Erik: No need for the formalities, Misty. You are more than welcome to call me Erik.
The sound of both their chairs sliding back against the floor is heard. A few seconds later, Misty walks out of the office, looking at the camera with an arrogant smirk. She winks at the camera and walks away.
Justin: Our next match is scheduled for one fall. Our first opponent hails from the far reaches of sanity and is one half of the tag team champions, Blood Omen. He is LUCIAN FROST!!!!
The lights begin to flicker around the room, spot lights scan around the crowd, "Salt in the Wound" begins to play as the crowd looks around to see where he is coming from. Frost appears from one side of the arena and heads through the crowd before climbing over the barricade and slides under the bottom rope.
Simone: Frost seems to be moving well for someone that had been so hurt.
Adams: He better hope so because Blade is the kind of guy that focus on injuries.
Simone: You almost sounded like a commentator back then.
Justin: His opponent. is a star of both the SCW and ACW. He hails from Halifax, Canada. Weighing in at 225 pounds he is BLADE ALEXANDER!!!
"Killing in the Name Of" by Rage Against the Machine blares out over the PA to a chorus of boos as Blade Alexander shoves his way through the curtain. With a sneer he makes his way to the ring before sliding under the bottom rope. He uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet and leaps to the second turn buckle to look out over the crowd, still scowling at the fans watching as the jeer him.
DING DING DING
Frost is moving back and forth sizing up his opponent, meanwhile Blade is yelling at Frost to come at him. Blade quickly charges at Frost who sidesteps, tripping the bigger man to his knees. Frost then runs for the nearest rope and rebounds back at Blade where he hits him with a shining wizard.
Simone: Frost is starting up with a lot of energy. I think he wants to show the world he is not hurt.
Adams: Well what ever the reason its fun to watch.
Blade quickly scrambles to get up but Frost is heading for the far rope and charging back. He hits Blade with a running drop kick before he has the chance to get to his feet and Blade stumbles back down. The fans are loving it. Frost is heading for the ropes again this time trying for a Springboard Back Elbow but Blade gets his knees up at the last moment.
Adams: Wheew that was ugly.
Simone: Frost hit that is the worse possible way.
The crowd gets quiet as Frost reels from the hit and as Blade rises they boo him. He gets Frost up getting him in a half nelson that leads into a back breaker. Blade is up again and is dropping a knee on Frost. He gets him up again only to bring him down with a Northern Lights Suplex.
Simone: Blade is wasting no time. He is hitting Frost hard and fast. Frost is not looking good.
Adams: Yeah and Blade looks to want to put him out of his misery. He is going for the pin.
1....
2...
???.Nearly 3!!!!
Adams: And Blade has it!
Simone: No he doesn???t, Frost fought back at the last possible moment.
The fans erupt in cheers as Blade tries to get Frost up on his feet. Frost breaks out of Blades hold and tries to deliver a kick to his body. Blade grabs the leg and hits Frost with a kick of his own. Frost is on his knees and Blade kicks him again. Then gets a grin on his face as he exposes his knee bad and goes for the nearest rope.
Simone: I don???t like the look on his face.
Adams: Oh man Blade just hit a brutal running knee right to Frost head!
Simone: That is one of the places Lucian is injured and it almost looks like he knocked him out.
Before the referee can check on Frost, Blade has him set up for The Final Cut. He lands it and goes for the cover.
1....
2...
3!!!!
Simone: This one is over!
Adams: Someone check if Frost is still breathing.
Blade gets his hand raised in victory but then the ref checks on Frost. To the surprise of nearly everyone at the arena he starts to get to his feet. He uses the ropes for help but stands on his own and the fans cheer him on.
Simone: He may not have won tonight but Frost showed he has a lot of fight in him.
Adams: And Blade showed that he is a threat to anyone around here.
The scene opens on the arena just after the match between Frost and Blade Alexander. The tron soon erupts into a clock and the words "FULL BLOODED ITALIAN" soon appears. Gun shots fill the arena from over the sound system, as the scene changes to old black and white clips from the early 20's and into the later years of Mob hits, and arrests of Don's from around the world.
Simone: What in the hell is this?
Adams: I don't know but it can't be good whatever it is.
As the scene starts to fade the scene changes to an over head shot of Jersey Shore.
Simone: Oh God don't tell me that someone from that crappy show Jersey Shore is coming to SCW!
Adams: It could be Pauly D... I mean he's pretty built...
Simone: Figures you would notice something like that.
The camera moves over the area, and heads toward the Pine Barrens. there is movement in the woods, and the camera follows it, before it focuses on a set of red eyes and the words
"THE JERSEY DEVIL DIVA IS COMING!"
Before it looks like the tron sets ablaze on the screen.
Adams: Ok, now I'm freaked out!
Simone: I have no idea who she is, but this could be another one like Necra.
Adams: I don't think I could handle another one.
The opening beat of drums is heard through the speaker, the fans instantly boo and cheer as a huge guitar rift starts to play as this pyro???s explode either side of the stage. Skid Row's "Midnight Tornado" Starts to boom through the speakers.
Simone: Well Billy James, here comes the man you've been looking for.
Adams: Hey, don't rat out the boss!
Simone: Call me crazy, but I think Billy would have been able to figure that out for himself.
The smoke starts to clear and Hot Stuff Mark Ward is seen standing on the top of the stage. He points to the fans on the left side of him, then to the fans on the right, and then clinches his fists. He starts to grind his hips as the rock music continues to blast out. He takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the ramp and does a double muscle pose, causing more pyro???s to explode behind him and the fans react louder. He slowly walks down the ramp, stopping every few feet to pose for the ladies in attendance. Hot Stuff walks up to the ropes and jumps over them, before walking over to Justin Decent and taking the microphone from him. Mark then waits for the music to stop before beginning to speak.
HS: I hear someone has apparently been looking for me. I'm not sure what the problem is, I'm Hot Stuff, not exactly a hard guy to track down. I'm not only the co-owner, but this company's biggest star. So the question becomes, maybe someone is just looking for an excuse for why he really doesn't have what it takes to face me man to man.
Mark's last comment brings a round of boos from the fans as he laughs at his own comment. Mark goes to speak again, but before he can the PA system comes alive as "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard starts to pump throughout the arena, causing a explosion of cheers from the crowd.
Simone: Ask and you shall receive.
Strangely enough, a smile comes across Mark's face as he simply stands in the center of the ring, staring up the ramp. A moment later, the curtain opens up and out steps "Beautiful" Billy James into the arena, who proceeds to sprint straight down the ramp and as he hits the bottom, slides right into the ring. As Billy gets in the ring, he pops right up to his feet and makes a bee-line straight for Mark and just as he gets a few steps short, suddenly all of the lights in the arena go out.
Adams: AH! Who leaned back on the light switch?
Simone: I have a feeling this wasn't an accident!
Adams: Well whoever did it better turn it back on already, I want to see this fight!
A few more seconds go by before the lights suddenly come back on and as they do, Billy James is seen standing in the center of the ring all alone. He turns around seeming rather confused before his attention is eventually drawn up to the top of the ramp, where Hot Stuff stands on the stage, with a line of SCW Security standing in front of him and a big smile on his face. The fans erupt into boos as they see what has happened as Mark brings the microphone in his hand up to his mouth.
HS: You never do learn do you? Better luck next week.
Hot Stuff waves goodbye towards Billy as he laughs, before eventually turning and walking away through the curtain to the back, as Billy stands in the ring staring him down with an almost expressionless look on his face.
Adams: Billy James does NOT look like a happy man.
Simone: That's for sure, and I think things are going to get ugly once he finally gets his hands on Hot Stuff.
Adams: IF he ever gets his hands on Hot Stuff.
Kain walks out of his dressing room, followed by Ariel, somewhere backstage. The couple talk to each other silently, side by side, but are stopped by Rocky Mountains, one of the reporters from the SCW. The crowd cheers at Kain and Ariel as Rocky waits for the noise to die down before speaking with Kain.
Rocky: Kain, we all just saw a confrontation between you and Synn for the first time. Synn, as you know, is the leader of Sinful Obsession. He also is one tough man that I don't think anyone should be crossing. You, on the other hand, just did so and it could cost you the titles. How do you feel about that?
Kain: Look, I know that Synn is a tough man and probably did a lot. I'll even go on the record to say that I respect people like that, who commend fear and have accomplished a lot. But I am not afraid of him. He wants people to be afraid of him and of Sinful Obession, but I'm not. Misty, I knew, wouldn't be able to handle his anger and was obviously afraid of him, so that's always a good sign. But he won't be able to pull that tough crap around me and should he try any kind of dirty tricks or even get involved in my business, I'm going to hurt him, plain and simple. You also have to remember; I didn't say anything about him or his group, except that Blood Omen ended their reign and that they couldn't get the job done. Now, all of a sudden, I hear trash-talk from his side of the street and I hear him say that it's only a matter of time before the titles return to his pals. Sorry, Synn, but that's not happening at all. You can try to get a rematch or two out of us, but you'll still be beaten and you will lose. Lucian and I will see to that!
Rocky: So, despite the things Synn did against you, you respect him?
Kain: Yes, Rocky, despite the things he did against me, I do. But not as much. I would love to face him in combat someday, see what he's really made of in battle. One-on-one. I'll throw that challenge to him right now. Should he accept, I look forward to dealing with him on my own terms!
Rocky: Speaking of challenges, I heard that Thatcher's dream match would be against you in a 60-minute Iron-Man match. What are your thoughts?
Kain: I would love to see it happen, actually. I think Thatcher deserves a shot against me, plus it would be a real test to see how far I've come. I've been through a lot of matches that have tested my mental, physical, and emotional state to the limit and I don't mind going through another match that tests all that once again. If Thatcher wants to see it happen that badly, all he has to do is come up to me and say "Hey! Kain! You and me! One-on-one! Iron-man Match! 60 minutes!" In response, I would tell him "Bring it on, man. Let's go!"
Rocky: Finally, Kain, I wanted to get your thoughts on how your tag-team match ended with the interruption of Jessie Salco's interference. Are you upset at all about it?
Before Kain could answer his question, they were attacked from behind by Jake and Jessie Salco! Jake brawls with Kain using his military training to keep up with the former underground fighter whilst Jessie brawls with Ariel.
Simone: Why are the Salco siblings attacking Kain and Ariel?
Adams: I don???t know but it???s damn entertaining!
Eventually security comes in and breaks up the fight with two teams of security guards leading the four of them in opposite directions, once they are clear Jake turns to Jessie
Jake: So???..was pissing off Kain even more worth it?
Jessie: Look Jake, it???s like I said, he probably would???ve had Ariel attack me in retaliation for last week???s match so as far as I???m concerned I???m just cutting him off before he gets a chance.
Jake: And if he tries next week?
Jessie: We???ll cross that bridge when we come to it, besides you look like you???ve had fun.
Jessie points out and Jake grins.
Jake: Come on, we???d better find a place to hide before Christian finds out, he???s angry at you enough after all.
Jake added as the siblings walked off.
As the theme starts the curtain is pulled back and out onto the stage roars a Harley bike. Sitting on the bike is Amanda Cortez and Laura Jackson. Mandy shut off the bike and the pair slowly get off the bike.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen this is your Main Event of the evening and it is for the SCW Bombshell Tag Team Titles, introducing first, they are the reigning and defending SCW Bombshell Tag Team Champions, Laura Jackson and Amanda Cortez, the Tattooed Goddesses!
Simone: Amanda???s been having her problems with NXT???S Jessie Salco recently but with Christian telling her to stay out of the match you just know that things will be easier for them.
Adams: Easier?! One of their opponents is Necra Octavian Kaine! She???s proven in the past that she can beat both of them alone!
They then go down the ramp slapping hands with the fans. Then Laura slips into the ring and then she held the ropes opens for Mandy to enter the ring. As Amanda does this she slowly slips in teasing the fans as she get in the ring after Amanda does this the pair share a quick kiss before going to opposite side of the ring and posed for the fans before turning to the entrance way to wait for their opponents, however their cocky demeanor quickly changes when the lights in the arena go out, as a golden spotlight goes over the crowd, and comes to stop at the back of the stage, as "Black and Silver" by Xandria begins to play over the speakers.
Justin: Introducing the challengers, first from the Isle of the Dead in Greece, she is the Goddess of the Dead Necra Octavian Kaine!
Simone: Speak of the devil!
Adams: I don???t envy the champs one bit!
A black mist begins to roll over the stage and rampway, as two lines of men and women walk down to the ramp, and line either side, holding flags with a strange symbol on them. At the back of the stage, a golden barge appears with 4 very well built men wearing masks of Anubis, Osiris, Ma'at, and Apep on the four corners. Behind the barge is a man wearing a skull for a mask follows behind. They reach the ring, and the skull faced man moves to the side of the barge, removing the golden death mask from the Goddess of the Dead. She opens her eyes as she is helped up, and heads to the ring, as her followers fall to their knees. She walks up the stairs and steps into the ring.
Adams: If I where the tattooed goddesses, I???d be running right now!
Simone: But they do have their titles to defend!
She raises her hands, as flames shoot up from each of the posts, as the lights go up, the Tattooed Goddesses try to get a sneak attack in but one death glare from Necra sends them fleeing to their corner.
Adams: See what I mean?!
Simone: I have to admit, Necra is terrifying.
The Tattooed Goddesses continue to put significant distance between them and Necra as the opening lyrics of Scream by the Mistfits hits over the pa.
Whoaa ohh ohhh
Whoaa ohh ohhh
Whoaa ohh ohhh
Scream
No sooner had those lyrics finished, the guitar cuts back in and strobe lighting begins to flicker.
A chill runs up your spine
it crawls into your brain.
The freezing touch of fear.
Amy appears at the top of the ramp, where she surveys her surroundings before raising her arms to make an X sign.
Justin: And finally, from Juneau, Alaska, she is ???The Punk Princess??? Amy Marshall!
Simone: Her actions against her step-sister Trish Newborn cost her and Necra the tag team titles at New Year???s Rising and now they want them back!
Adams: And with Necra at her side she might just do that!
It's driving me insane
although you try to fight
Dragged from the silence where you hide
'til you... Scream
Amy then begins to head down the ramp, as she ignore the fans around her before climbing inside the ring, where she climbs the turnbuckle and raises her arms high before blowing a single kiss towards the crowd. Amy then jumps off the turnbuckle and waits for the match to begin; she joins Necra in her corner as they start discussing strategy.
Simone: It looks like Amanda may be starting things off for the champs!
Adams: You spoke to soon! Necra???s starting for the other team!
As soon as Amanda sees that Necra???s starting things off for her team she tries to tag Laura in but Laura, clearly remembering her beating at Necra???s hands and the Axe Kick from Tom Dudely, wants nothing to do with Necra, they eventually settle things with a game of Rock Paper Scissors??????which ends in Amanda starting the match for her team anyway.
Simone: I don???t blame Amanda for that!
Adams: I think she???d rather be on Death Row right now!
Amanda turns around and Drew Patton signals for the bell, Amanda reluctantly locks up with Necra but is quickly overpowered and sent flying into a neutral corner by a simply shove by Necra, Amanda looks around for Laura but quickly realizes that she???s in a neutral corner, she pulls herself up only to get leveled by a clothesline by Necra, Laura tries to cheap shot Necra from the apron only to be clotheslined to the floor herself!
Simone: It didn???t take long for Necra to destroy the tag champs!
Adams: It???s Necra, what do you expect?!
Necra forces Amanda to her feet and hits her with a High Angle German Suplex that sends Amanda flying, Necra goes for a cover 1???..2???..Amanda barely kicks out.
Simone: We almost broke the record for shortest tag title match in SCW History!
Adams: As scary as Necra is they don???t want to lose the titles on their first defense!
Whilst Drew is busy trying to keep Amy from getting involved Necra drags up Amanda by her hair and goes to Chokeslam her, however once Amanda is in the air Laura surprises her with a Superkick sending Necra down with Amanda landing on top of her, Laura calls out to Drew once she???s on the apron and Drew goes for the count 1???..2???..Necra powers out of the cover and quickly sits up.
Simone: No matter what they try the Goddesses can???t keep Necra down for long.
Adams: I guess we know who the real goddess here is and she???s Necra!
Amanda quickly puts the boots to Necra but she can???t stop the intimidating Bombshell from getting to her feet, Amanda bounces off the ropes looking for a move of some kind but Necra surprises her with a face claw that sends her to the matt, Drew asks if she wants to give up but Amanda quickly refuses trying everything she can think off to get out of the submission hold, however she eventually resorts to biting Necra???s hand which does the trick.
Simone: Did Amanda just bite Necra???s hand?!
Adams: Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Amanda quickly rolls over to her corner and tags in Laura who charges at Necra once she turns around going for a cross body, however Necra catches Laura and hits her with a backbreaker before setting up for another one, at this point Amanda goes for the same move???..only to be caught by Necra!
Simone: Oh my god!
Adams: Look at her strength!
Necra quickly realizes what position she???s in but rather than let go like Drew???s requesting she instead hits a series of backbreakers on both Bombshells, at around the fifth one she hoists the two Bombshells onto her shoulders and releases them military press style, Necra stacks Amanda on top of Laura in a way that makes it look like they???re going to have sex and goes for a cover 1??????2???..BOTH BOMBSHELLS KICK OUT!
Simone: My god! What will it take to keep those Bombshells down?!
Adams: Do you think I could convince Laura and Amanda to stay in that position???.. xxx
Simone: KEEP IT CLEAN JASON!
Amanda quickly rolls out of the ring with Drew???s help as Necra picks up Laura???..only for Laura to eyerake her and follow it up with a dropkick! However the move that Necra just did has taken the toll on her and she can???t capitalize, worse yet, Amanda???s in no fighting condition for the same reason, Necra quickly tags in Amy who enters the ring and plants Laura with a DDT before going for a cover 1???..2???..kickout!
Simone: No matter what the challengers might try they can???t keep the Goddesses down!
Adams: Don???t speak so soon! Amy???s going for the Bad Girl!
Simone: No, Amanda???s cheapshotted her!
Amy is reeling from Amanda???s cheapshot giving Laura the opportunity she needs to hit Amy with the Cider Driver! Amanda charges into the ring and keeps Necra busy with a brawl (that???s mostly in Necra???s favor) as Laura goes for a cover 1???..2???.3!!!!!
Justin: Here are your winners and still SCW Bombshell Tag Team Champions! The Tattooed Goddesses!
Simone: What a match!
Adams: Pity it was ruined by that finish!
The lights in the arena drop out completely.
Adams: Did someone forget to pay the electric bill again?
A fireball flies across the screen and a loud crash from the ramp is heard.
Simone: What the...
A bass line starts to thump over the PA and we hear the opening guitar riffs of Dethklok's 'Black Fire Upon Us. On the titantron the image of three flaming balls of light streak through an image of the night sky as the music continues. The strains of the music plays over the PA as on the titantron, the three flaming balls rocket towards an image of the earth and the camera angle switches so it looks like they're coming straight towards the screen. They strike the same spot with a bright flash and three shadowy figures step out of the brightness.
Tonight We Ride On Clouds Of Fire
We're Damned By Gods Our DETHS Conspired
We Fear No Mortals In These Worlds
The Gift We Give You Is Your Soul
Fly With Us Tonight
Fly With Us Tonight
The lights start to strobe to the beat of the music and we see the angels of The Fallen standing on stage looking confident.
Adams: Holy crap! It's The Fallen! The Fallen are back in SCW!
Gothika, Darknyss and Raynin stand on stage and raise their fists in the air looking around confidently before the lights come up completely. They go from one side of the stage to the other, talking junk to the crowd and throwing their fists in the air.
Simone: I can't believe it! Former bombshell champion Raynin is here with Darknyss and Gothika!
The trio move down the ramp and towards the ring, the tag champions looking curiously as the three get to the ring and slide in. Before anyone can react, the trio attack the tag team champions.
Adams: Oh my.... no wait, that's probably copywritten.
Simone: The Fallen are taking apart the tag team champions.
Gothika and Darknyss double clotheslines Laura to the ground, while Raynin stomps away on Amanda. Gothika and Darknyss look towards Amy Marshall and Necra, but the two quickly drop out of the ring.
Adams: Necra and Amy being smart here.
Simone: They wasn't around when The Fallen were kicking ass and taking names.
The Fallen pick up the bombshell tag champions and throws them over the ropes, raising their arms to cheers.
Simone: What a night this has been, returns, stables forming, non stop action, but we're out of time, we will see you all next week
Adams: Bye everybody!
THANK YOU: to Chris, Mark, Erik, MK, Aleksei, Craig, Casey, Necra, Amanda, Tommy, Maggie. Also thanks to Vixen for the quality match banners, and to our great roleplayers
