Jessie said before sighing.

Jessie: Next up is Odette, I know I haven’t exactly been there for her recently due to being preoccupied with other stuff and if I was there I’d apologize to her in person, unfortunately I don’t have a cloning machine so this’ll have to do, Odette, I’m sorry, I just got so caught up with my own stuff that I completely forgot about my NXT teammates!

Jessie says with a heavy sigh before continuing.

Jessie: Last but not least is that sick joke that someone played on Misty last week, I know I’m not as obvious a suspect as Odette is, no offense Odette, but I just wanted to get this off my chest, I may have been the Queen of Pranksters growing up but I never stooped as low as to use something that personal against a target for one of my pranks and that is even more true today especially given my history with Misty.

The camera feed cuts as the camera switches back to Belinda and Jason.

Simone: Did Jessie just try to get people to blame her for that sick joke instead of Odette?

Adams: Who knows? Let’s focus on the next match!

A heavy guitar riff hits throughout the arena before the sudden tranquil chorus from “All Eyes on Me” provided by Maike Holzmann of Voices of Destiny surrounds the airwaves, as the entrance way comes to life.

Justin: The following is a non-title triple threat match that will be contested under Roulette Rules, introducing first, from Santa Monica, California, she is the reigning SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Alexis Morrison!

Simone: Many are considering this a warm-up for Alexis ahead of her upcoming title defense against NXT’s Jessie Salco.

Adams: And with Jessie being in Canada for the Super J Cup Tournament Alexis won’t have to worry about her interfering.

White smoke emerges from the sides of the either entrance post, and out from behind the curtain walks Alexis Morrison smirking as she approaches the ring steps. Strobe lights fill the arena in tune with the beat of the song. Alexis carefully enters the ring watching the referee and heads to the nearest turnbuckle while propping herself and lies on across it as she waits for her opponents, she doesn’t have to wait long as ”Scum of the Earth” by Rob Zombie begins playing through the PA system as the stage lights blink to the beat of the music.

Justin: And her opponents, first from St. Louis, Missouri, she is Faith!

Simone: This young lady has been very impressive since her debut but she faces a tough challenge tonight.

Adams: And if Alexis can handle her Jessie knows she’ll be in trouble.

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.

Simone: Even without that in mind their match at Blaze of Glory won’t be the first meeting between Jessie and Alexis; in fact their debut match was against each other!

Adams: But they had a third woman in that match and depending on who you ask Jessie would’ve won if not for the third woman’s presence!

She then dashes up toward the ring and jumps onto the apron before 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 to get her ready for her opponent whilst eyeing Alexis, she makes a belt motion around her waist indicating that she wants a shot at whoever wins the championship match at Blaze of Glory, their attention quickly shifts as the opening lyrics of Scream by the Mistfits hits over the pa.

Justin: And finally, from Juneau, Alaska, she is “The Punk Princess” Amy Marshall!

No sooner had those lyrics finished, the guitar cuts back in and strobe lighting begins to flicker.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: All right ladies, it’s time to determine the match type.

The three women turn their attention to the titantron as Ms. Rocky Mountains spins the wheel, at first it seems like it’ll stop on Ladder Match but at the last moment it nudges over to Special Guest Referee match.

Simone: Special Guest Ref? Let’s hope it’s not Marty or…..

Adams: ME! ME!

Simone: …..yeah what he said.

The three women in the ring have different reactions to the news, Faith seems indifferent, Amy glares daggers at the ramp as if she’s anticipating any of her rivals and Alexis couldn’t care less…..that is until fast, charging riff of "Through My Eyes" by Threat Signal tears the PA System a new one.

Simone: Wait, I thought Jessie was in Canada?!

Adams: No one told you? THAT’S MY ENTRANCE THEME!

Simone: …….

Adams: No one’s buying that are they?

Simone: Not for a second.

The camera shifts to the NXT locker room where we see Jessie’s much bigger brother Jake talking on his cell-phone, presumably to Jessie, with his feet up on the table whilst he watches the show on a TV monitor.

Jake: Yeah, I have no idea why they’re playing your theme song either but I think it might be a mistake by the production crew…..

???: Err, Jake Salco?

Jake looks up and sees a stage hand holding an oversized referee’s shirt; it takes the former Army man a second for it to hit him.

Jake: You’re kidding?!

Stage hand: With Jessie being in Canada for the Super J Cup Tournament they decided to go with you.

Jake: They realize that I’ve never wrestled a match in my life, right?

Stage hand: Well it comes down to you or Marty McFarge……

That’s all the encouragement Jake needs (alongside additional encouragement from the Bombshells in the ring) as he quickly removes his shirt (earning quite a few wolf whistles from the crowd) and replaces it with the shirt.

Jake: Where did they find a ref’s shirt in my size anyway?

Stage hand: Christian likes to come prepared, come on I’ll take you to the ringside area.

Jake runs after the stage hand as the camera pans back to the ring, “Through My Eyes” starts up again and Jake marches down to the ring wearing the referee outfit, he slides into the ring and eyes the three women cautiously.

Simone: I think Jake has the envy of every man in the arena right now.

Adams: Including me!

Jake earns some disconcerting looks from the Bombshells but he simply shrugs his shoulders and signals for the bell letting the match begin, the three Bombshells circle around each other waiting for one of the three women to make the first move whilst Jake keeps his distance as much as possible, eventually Alexis makes the first move as she charges towards Faith…..only to be surprised by a running dropkick from Amy that sends Alexis to the outside.

Simone: That’s the danger of a Triple Threat Match!

Adams: Yeah and now Amy and Faith are going at it!

Before Amy can capitalize though Faith charges in and the two Bombshells start brawling, this goes on for several minutes before Jake notices that Alexis is up and on the apron, he motions for the Bombshells to turn around and when they do they are hit by a double Asai DDT, rather than go for a cover though Alexis glares at Jake.

Alexis: Are you trying to screw me?!

Jake: What? No!

Adams: That’s not a conversation you hear every day.

Simone: Unless your Christian Underwood or Hope Heelcum!

Alexis just shakes her head before going for a cover on Faith 1….2…..kickout by Faith but rather than be deterred Alexis tries to pin Amy instead 1…..2….Faith makes the save and starts brawling with Alexis, soon Amy is back on her feet and manages to sneak in a boot to Alexis’s exposed midriff and the two Bombshells take Alexis over with a Double Snap Suplex.

Simone: Looks like Amy and Faith are going to double team Alexis.

Adams: Now if only there was a lot more kissing and no clothes!

Simone: KEEP IT CLEAN JASON!

Adams: What? Amy was in porn!

Amy goes for a cover on Alexis whilst Belinda shakes her head 1….2…..Faith pulls her off and tries to cover Alexis herself 1….2…..kickout by Alexis, Faith punches the ground in frustration as she gets to her feet…..only to be clotheslined to the outside by Amy who calls out for the Bad Girl.

Simone: Amy’s looking to end this!

Adams: She’s in a great spot to do just that!

Amy waits for Alexis to get to her feet as she goes for the move……however Alexis grabs onto the top rope mid move sending Amy to the matt, as Amy gets to her feet Alexis runs to the ropes and bounces off while gaining full force, and plants her opponent face with a bicycle kick. She turns, doing a little sadistic smirk after surveying the damage before turning to Jake and pointing at Amy.

Alexis: Tell your whore of a little sister that that’s all she can expect at Blaze of Glory!

Simone: Now that was just uncalled for!

Adams: No kidding!

Jake glares at the Bombshell for her comment towards Jessie but shakes his head as Alexis goes for a cover 1…..2…..Faith drags out Alexis and takes her out with a clothesline before climbing the top rope.

Simone: Faith’s a brawler so this is unfamiliar territory for her!

Adams: And very familiar territory for her opponents!

Faith straightens herself up as she goes for a Shooting Star Press……only for Amy to get her knees up at the last second, Amy is first to her feet and measures up Faith, presumably for another attempt at the Bad Girl, she charges at Faith once she’s turned around……but Faith slaps the taste out of opponents mouth, spinning around as she does so and falls down with a powerful Spinning Neckbreaker

Simone: The God-Smack!

Adams: If this was for the title Faith would be going on to face Jessie at Blaze of Glory!

Faith quickly goes for a cover 1…..2…..AMY KICKS OUT! Faith gets back to her feet and gets in Jake’s face about a slow count but Jake won’t be intimidated.

Simone: Did she really think that would work? That guy served in Iraq for the US Army!

Adams: Even if he didn’t he’s probably faced scarier Drill Sergeants!

Rather than except that Jake made the right call Faith turns around…..into the 39 Eyes from Alexis! Rather than go for a cover however Alexis gets on top of Faith and starts wailing on her, not knowing what to do otherwise Jake just shrugs and grabs Alexis from around the waist and pulls her off Faith.

Alexis: If you even think of groping me your balls are coming off!

Jake: Would you prefer this?

Jake asks before letting her go unceremoniously to the amusement of the crowd, Alexis glares at Jake as she gets to her feet……only to be hit with the Bad Girl!

Simone: Jake may have just cost Alexis the match!

Adams: By accident you mean!

Amy is about to go for a cover but Faith surprises her with the Stained Beauty and the Scum Buster before going for a cover on Alexis and Amy at the same time 1…..2…..3!!!!

Justin: Here’s your winner, Faith!

Simone: Faith just pinned the Bombshell Roulette Champion!

Adams: And Alexis is furious!

Faith quickly leaves the ring as Scum of the Earth by Rob Zombie plays over the PA System, Alexis gets back on her feet and glares at Jake before screaming at him, Jake maintains his innocence…..until Alexis kicks him in the balls.

Simone: Poor Jake, first time in a wrestling match and he gets kicked in the balls!

Adams: No kidding!

Backstage, Misty and her disciples are standing outside the women's locker room. Misty has just finished getting ready for her match. Ruby and the Brothers seem to be pleading with her about something, but she is shaking her head, refusing to give in to them.

Misty: Guys...Guys..GUYS! Enough!

They all fall silent as she raises her voice to them.

Misty: We've been through this all week. The five of you are staying backstage, whether you like it or not!

Ruby: This is not a good idea, my Queen. At the very least, I should accompany you to ringside!

Damien: Ruby is right. You need someone to protect you out there.

Misty shakes her head, still not giving in.

Misty: I said no! I promised Thatcher that for the duration of this tournament, you would stay backstage, and I am sticking to that promise. I can do this on my own.

Ruby: You do not need to keep your promise to that vile man, my Queen. I promise I will not interfere.

Misty: For the LAST time, Ruby. No! Stay here. Do not interfere in this match, and I don't care what the hell happens out there. Do not come out to ringside. Do you understand me?

Ruby looks at each of the brothers, Damien in particular, but he shakes his head.

Ruby: If you insist, but I am fully against this. I have a bad feeling, my Queen.

Misty: I will be fine Ruby. I can take care of myself. Now, I have to head out to the ring. Stay put!

Misty wastes no time in heading off on her own as she heads out to the ring. Once she is out of view, Ruby begins arguing with the brothers, but there is nothing they can do. They must obey their orders and hope for the best.

The scene opens up backstage, where Jordan Williams and Odette Ryder are walking through the hallways, talking about a big surprise Jordan has promised Odette. As they make their way to a locker room, she keeps guessing over and over about what the surprise could be. Each idea she comes up with, she’s wrong. After a few minutes, they finally reach the locker room and Jordan asks Odette to put a blind fold on. Odette obliges the request and ties the black blind fold around her eyes. Jordan grabs Odette by the hand and leads her into the locker room where he walks her to the center of the room.

Jordan: Okay, Miss O, open up!

Odette pulls the blindfold down and she has a flabbergasted look on her face as a Mariachi band starts playing a rendition Eric Clapton‘s “Layla“. The room is decorated with rose pedals on the floor and red streamers hanging from the ceiling. On the wall, there is a flower garland that reads “HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ODETTE!” Then there is a cardboard cut out of Jordan and Odette that says “TEAM OJ” with “JUICY” written underneath it. Odette walks to a table that is covered with a red silk runner that has a big boxed present with a card attached to it as Jordan cues the band to stop playing.

Odette: Aw Jordan, you shouldn’t have gotten me a present!!

Jordan with a big grin on his face: Read the card!

Odette takes the card out of the envelope that is custom made with picture of Odette jumping into Jordan's arms after last week's match with a heart surrounding them. She reads aloud: “I LOVE THIS FEELING”

She opens up the card and it has a personalized message.

Odette: To my favorite tag team partner! You’re Hotter Stuff than Mark Ward and more Beautiful than Billy James! Nobody is more Juicier than you! Happy Valentine’s Day xo Jordan!

Odette cracks a smile and gives Jordan a big hug! Jordan grabs the big boxed present and hands it to Odette. Odette tears the box open and pulls out her present: a black duster similar to Jordan’s duster that he wears to the ring. She turns it around to look at the back of the duster. On the back it has ODETTE written in cursive in blue colored font. In the middle of the duster, there is a dragon’s head-roaring with the Australian flag as a back drop. Underneath that logo, it says JUICY-also written in cursive, but with lime colored font.

Odette: This is so awesome! I can’t thank you enough for all this!

Jordan: No problem! I had to do this for the best tag team partner ever!

Odette again hugs Jordan and says: That’s so sweet of you!

Jordan: I feel like this is the right time to ask, but you wanna go out to eat tonight? Nothing serious, just a harmful dinner to celebrate!

Jordan’s eyes light up and he quickly says: Well, we might as well make reservations now, baby, because we’re going to win the tournament!!

Odette: Yes! Thank you so much for the decorations, the band, and the gifts! You didn’t have to!

Jordan: It was my pleasure, baby girl!

Odette: I’m going to get ready for our match, later. See you out there!

Jordan: Alright, let’s win this thing!

Jordan and Odette high five each other and Odette exit’s the locker room with her gifts in hand.

Jordan, while biting his bottom lip and rubbing his hands together in a sinister way: Yeeeaahhh…realfriendly!

The lawn chairs and booze cooler are set up in the ring so it must be another edition of Party Horde Live. Aleksei travels through the crowd with both members of the Young Lions. They stay in the audience as Aleksei heads to the ring with a microphone in hand.

Aleksei: Hello Carson City! I know many of you missed me last week. I was up in the frozen nothlands doing business as the worlds best "Silent Partner". But now I am here and i have two big things. First off I direct your attention to the big screen.

On the Titantron is the image of two large tour busses. One is Aleksei Party Horde bus painted in purple and black. The other bus is a little bit newer and is painted with a jungle mural. On it is written South America Or Bust!

Aleksei: Before the stable wars and before all the madness. I was just a guy who loved to fight and wanted everyone to join me on epic adventures. So I figure why not bring a little bit of that back. That is my new tour bus and together with the old bus we are going to head to South America on the SCW tour. Anyone who likes to party is more then welcome to join me.

The party horde section gives a big cheer and the rest of the audience follows along.

Aleksei: Now to make up for last week I have a guest that is pretty impressive. He is one of the more dangerous men in the SCW. He calls himself the Kings of Kings....KAIN!!!

Kain's music, Ladies And Gentleman, plays over the speakers as he appears and joins Aleksei.

Aleksei: You want a drink?

Kain: No. I'm fine.

Aleksei has started to open the fridge. He shrugs and grabs a bottle of beer. He opens it and takes a big first sip.

Aleksei: Okay lets get to the questions. Currently I have heard that both Goth and Synn want a match with you...and you have your match with the Young Lions...a lot of people seem to want a piece of you, do you know what that is?

Kain: You really mean "Do you know why that is?" Because I'm too popular and apparently, no one gets the message around here, so I'm forced to take matters into my own hands and deliver the goods in order to shut people up. Including the Young Lions, who I feel deserve a rematch for the titles somewhere in the near future.

Aleksei: That is good because they are getting that match in two weeks. If you are the Kings of Kings...does that make your kids royalty? Any idea what you hope they will be when they grow up?

Kain: I don't know where you got that assumption from. Are you delusional? Around the household, they don't address me as such, I expect them to be normal human beings with no loyalty addressing or anything of that nature. As for what they want to be when they grow up, I just want them to be successful as possible in whatever they chose to do. But, as a fair warning, should you ever decide to talk anything bad about my kids, behind my back, or even harm them? You will be destroyed, it's simple as that Aleksei. Again, just a fair warning to you.

Aleksei: Point taken. Everyone knows your a protective father. You had a pretty serious injury and have made it back from that. I know what that is like. Was there ever a time that you thought you might not come back to the sport?

Kain: I'm sure you know what that is like to come back from an injury, but I'm guessing that return from injury is causing you problems due to Mark ward, ain't it? Must be fun having to deal with him all the time, isn't it? Good thing he ain't my problem right now, unlike you! Have you thought about being done with wrestling for good?

Aleksei does not answer right away but takes a long sip of his beer. In fact he finishes it before he speaks.

Aleksei: I wouldn't be so sure that I am done with wrestling. But your right that I have had my troubles with Marky boy, but hey at least he didn't throw me through a window. But I am having fun with this gig. What do you think you will end up doing when your done fighting?

Kain: I'm going to keep fighting. What else am I going to do, you idiot? Throw myself to a bunch of hookers and jeopardize my relationship with my beautiful wife? You got to be kidding me! I'm always going to be RIGHT HERE, pal, and I'm not going anywhere else! I mean, what the hell are you trying to accomplish here? And why all of these pointless questions?!

Aleksei: Whoa now...try to relax. This is just an interview. Are you always so intense? Like in the morning do your brush your teeth with a grimace? Why so angry my friend?

Kain: Angry? I'm not angry! But you are certainly making me go down that path right now! You want to know the truth? Truth is, I've think you've gone too soft for your own good. Me? I'm soft, but I'm still dangerous in the ring. Unlike you, I took on Mark Ward, in a battle, and while I lost, at least I gained a weird, twisted sense of respect from the man. You? As of this moment, you don't even have the BALLS to do what's right for yourself! But hey, it ain't my problem, Aleksei. But here's some free advice for you, pal; grow a pair and do something about your situation, because you won't get anywhere in life without doing something! Now if you'll excuse me, clown, I got things to take care of right now.

Kain gets up and is about to walk off when Aleksei calls his name, stopping Kain in his tracks. He doesn't face Aleksei again, but merely listens to what he has to say.

Aleksei: Whoa now..wait a moment. Don't go running off. I am just having fun...you think I am joke. You think I have had an easy life Kain...you don't know a thing. But hey I get it..you have anger issues...you have family issues. Parent issues right? Not hugged enough as a kid. I mean if my parents got killed I would be...

Kain instantly turns around, landing a spinning heel kick on Aleksei, who spins around in a daze. Then Kain tackles Aleksei in the ground and beats him down with punches, Aleksei doing his best to defend himself by blocking some of those punches, yet other punches do go through, hitting his face many times over!

Simone: It looks like Aleksei pushed the wrong button.

Adams: Yeah I guess the interview is over...here comes the Young Lions.

Trevor and Max rush into the ring. Both men pull Kain off their mentor and throw him into the turnbuckle. Max whips Trevor into the corner to slam into Kain with a high knee. Then he starts throwing punches while Max quickly checks on Aleksei. Frost comes out and is running to the ring.

Adams: Man I wish every interview ended like this...

Kain starts returning punches until Max comes in to help his partner. He gets Kain lifted in the air and Trevor quickly heads for the turnbuckle for a tornado DDT.

Simone: Kain just felt The Lion Pounce for the first time and now Frost is in the ring.

Frost is up and on the ropes. He slingshot clotheslines Max and Aleksei is stumbling to his feet as well. Frost and Aleksei get themselves in the middle. Frost is keeping Kain back and Aleksei is keeping the Lions back.

Adams: Well it sure likes these guys are ready for a rematch.

Simone: I am not sure how they are going to wait two more weeks.

Simone: Things are about to get ugly with this next match up, Jason!

Adams: But I thought there were Bombshell's involved?

Simone: There is, but...Oh nevermind! You're the only one who doesn't get it. Misty and Odette will be battling it out as they both try to advance their teams to the final round of the tournament!

Justin: Ladies and Gentleman this next match is scheduled for one fall and it is a Blast From the Past Mixed Tag Team match! Introducing first...weighing in at two hundred fifty pounds from Atlanta, Georgia...He is the self-proclaimed God of Professional Wrestling...JORDAN WILLIAMS!

The camera pans around the crowd for a bit when "Subconcious" hit’s the PA System and the crowd starts booing, with a few scatters of cheers as Jordan Williams comes walking out behind the curtain. Jordan is clad in black boots, black tights with lime green colored designs and the head of a dragon roaring on both thighs. Jordan has 1/1,000,000 written on his knee pads as well. Jordan also has on a black duster with similar lime green colored designs. Jordan has his arms up in the air as the fans shower him in boos. Some fans reach out to slap high fives with him, but Jordan ignores them with his cocky grin etched onto his face. Jordan walks up the steps and leaps over the top rope flawlessly. Jordan climbs to the second turnbuckle and does his double guns pose before dropping to the mat, waiting for his partner to enter.

Justin: Introducing next is his tag team partner. She weighs in at one hundred and twenty-six pounds. From Queensland Australia...Please welcome ODETTE RYDER!

“Oooh whatcha gonna now? Whatcha gonna do when the rhythm comes kickin you?” as the spine tingling sounds of Dimestone Hood blares across the personal address system the SCW arena fills with darkness. The sound of cheers can be heard as the majority of the male fans start hooting and hollering as they await the arrival of one of their favourite bombshells to emerge from behind the thick black stage curtain. “Breath life a disease gonna get you, off of me” as the lights start to flicker bright shades of blue, the curtain starts to open and slowly Odette’s dainty figure is shown standing at the top of the ramp. Biting her bottom lip Odette surveys the crowded arena, whilst simply placing her hands down by her side. Starting her short journey down the cold steel ramp Odette’s skin is covered in goose bumps as the crowd is cheering in appreciation. Sliding into the ring under the bottom rope the camera man can’t help but try to get a sneaky look down the front of Odette’s super tight top, noticing this Odette gives the camera a cheeky smirk. Jumping up to her feet she walks over towards the ropes, turning sharply just before reaching them, Odette hooks her arms around the top rope using the curves from her elbows. Pushing back on the ropes Odette’s piercing green eyes focus up towards the ramp as she awaits the arrival of her opponents as ‘Blood in my eyes’ fades from the PA system.

Simone: Odette is fired up and ready to finally get her hands on Misty, but she can't until that bell rings!

Adams: Oh man I can't wait for this one.

Justin: And now for their opponents. Introducing first from Helena, Montana...He weighs in at two hundred and forty-five pounds..The Tyrant King...THATCHER REX!

The roar of a Tyrannosaur erupts over the PA system, echoing throughout the arena as the lights dim, eliciting a deafening cheer from the crowd. Mist rises from the floor in a hiss as the roar fades into Disturbed’s “Serpentine,” illuminated by lights mounted on the floor. Emerging from the mist like an ancient force of power is Thatcher Rex, strands of hair hanging down to partially obscure his eyes. He glances first to the left, then to the right before striding down the ramp, gaze fixated upon the ring. Once he gets to the ring, he ducks between the top and middle ropes. Two strides later, he mounts the turnbuckle. His arms spread wide, fists clenched, Rex releases a phenomenal roar, much to the delight of the fans.

Adams: Things are about to get dark, Belinda!

Simone: I think they've already hit that point, Jason.

Justin: And finally is his partner. From Chicago, Illinois. She weighs in at one hundred and thirty pounds. The Queen of the Damned...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 figure of Misty, clad in her full length black robe, emerges from backstage. As promised, she has left her disciples backstage, and Odette glares towards the entrance at Misty, waiting patiently for her opportunity to get at her arch rival.

Simone: Misty seems to be wasting time here. She's just staring at Odette!

Adams: It's a smart move, getting Odette angrier!

Simone: Or a stupid one.

After several seconds, Misty begins slowly making her way to the ring as the crowd boos her. She ignores each one of them, keeping her gaze locked on Odette in the ring, toying with her the entire time. She stops halfway down the ramp, as Odette urges her to keep walking, but Misty just smiles evilly at her, wasting more time.

Simone: Thatcher doesn't seem too pleased right now either.

Misty finally continues her way to the ring, heading for the steel steps. She points to Odette, then yells at referee Jasmine St. John to order the Aussie back. Jasmine does so, and Odette does as she is told, giving Misty plenty of room to enter the ring safely. Misty enters the ring, keeping her glare on Odette, and she heads over to her corner where Thatcher is waiting, where she removes her black robe, tossing it to the ring attendant. Both teams debate who will start off the match, and it is quickly decided on team OJ, that Odette will start things, as Jordan steps through the ropes. Thatcher steps through the ropes, also, as Misty and Odette engage in a stare down, waiting for the bell. Seconds later, Jasmine calls for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!

No sooner than the bell rings, Odette lunges across the ring with a vengeance, but Misty sees her coming and surprisingly she turns around and tags Thatcher in, and quickly steps through the ropes. Odette skids to a halt, sending an angry glare at Misty, who is just has a satisfied smile on her face. Thatcher reluctantly steps through the ropes, as does Jordan, but Odette stays where she is, pointing towards Misty, while yelling at Thatcher to tag her back in. Jasmine heads over to the situation, ordering Odette to get back to her corner, but the Aussie refuses!

Simone: How typical of Misty. She knows Odette is dying to get her hands on her, and she's using this as her own personal game.

Adams: A game of chicken!

Misty is about to jump down from the ring apron, but Thatcher shrugs and tags her back in. Jasmine acknowledges the tag, and in a flash, Odette dashes over to Misty's corner, grabbing the goth queen by her long raven hair, using it to pull Misty up and over the top rope and into the ring, sending cheers throughout the crowd. Thatcher and Jordan return to their places outside the ropes, as Odette quickly goes to work sending vicious lefts and rights to Misty's head.

Simone: Smart move by Odette right there. Didn't give Misty the chance to run from that one!

Jasmine has to quickly order Odette to break free, but Odette is relentless. Jasmine pulls Odette off of Misty, and the Aussie argues, while Jasmine pushes her back. This gives Misty just enough time to get to her feet, and regain herself. She narrows her eyes and glares at Odette, before lunging at her, and Jasmine darts out of the way just in time, as Misty's elbow connects with the side of Odette's head, and the two time former Bombshell champion corners Odette into the corner turnbuckle delivering hard right shoulders to Odette's midsection.

Adams: Looks like Misty has some fight in her after all!

Simone: Yeah, only when it suits her.

After the third time, Odette manages to get her knee up and grabs a hold of Misty's head, connecting her knee with Misty's face! This sends Misty stumbling back, only momentarily and when Misty goes back for more, Odette hits her with a superkick from out of nowhere and she goes for the cover!

Adams: Misty better check her teeth after that one!

Simone: That was a close call right there! Odette would have had major bragging rights if she ended this match that early!

Odette slams her fits down on the mat in frustration. She gets to her feet, bringing Misty with her with a handful of hair. When both women are standing, Misty grabs Odette's head, and drops down, delivering a hard jawbreaker! Odette falls back to the mat, holding her jaw, giving Misty proper time to regain herself, and Jasmine drops down to check on Odette.

Adams: I think these two want to send each other to the dentist!

Simone: These two just want to end each other.

Misty shakes her head, shaking off the effects from the earlier superkick, and seeing that Odette is still down, she quickly runs across the ring, jumping on the ropes and launches herself back, nailing a springboard moonsault on Odette, and she hooks the leg for the cover!

Simone: Nice move by Misty!

Adams: Come on Odette!

1..
2..No! Odette kicks out!

Adams: Big mistake pissing off your partner there, Thatcher! Especially when it's Misty!

Simone: Like he cares? Misty has done that in the first two rounds already!

Misty narrows her eyes at Thatcher, clearly angry with her partner, and she has no choice but to step outside the ropes in her corner, as Jordan and Thatcher step into the ring. By this time, Jasmine has helped Odette back over to her corner, where the Aussie is now standing on the ring apron, taking the time to regain her composure. Thatcher and Jordan circle one another before they each lunge forward, locking arms. Both men fight to gain control over one another. Thatcher is the first to take control, pulling Jordan's arm behind him in an armbar. Jordan quickly reverses into an armbar of his own before taking Thatcher down with a DDT.

Simone: Both these guys want to win this tournament.

Adams: Yeah but only one team has been a cohesive team so far!

Simone: Thatcher has his work cut out for him in this one.

Over in her corner, Misty growls, as Jordan goes to work on Thatcher. He whips Thatcher against the ropes and goes for a clothesline attempt when Thatcher rebounds back, but Thatcher quickly ducks it, going bounding against the opposite side of ropes. He grabs a hold of the top rope, stopping himself, and when Jordan comes at him, Thatcher hits him with a hard elbow to the face and Jordan stumbles back.

Simone: Misty isn't even showing any support for Thatcher at all. I don't think she even cares.

Adams: But she told Thatcher she would do her part to win this tournament.

Simone: I don't think anyone actually believes a word that comes out of Misty's mouth.

Thatcher quickly turns around and charges at Jordan, diving down, connecting with Jordan's leg and Jordan crashes to the mat. Thatcher pulls Jordan to a seated position, taking advantage and puts Jordan in a chinlock, tightening the pressure. Jordan fights the hold, but Thatcher increases the hold, refusing to let go, and Jasmine asks Jordan if he wishes to give up. He quickly says no, fighting to stay in this match. Over in their corner, Odette has gotten back on form, and she is stomping her foot down repeatedly, trying to get the crowd amped up, cheering for Jordan.

Simone: Odette is playing her part perfectly, trying to get Jordan back in the game, and it seems to be helping.

Jordan starts fighting with everything he's got, slowly but surely getting back to his feet. Thatcher keeps the hold locked on, as Jordan begins delivering elbows to Thatcher's head and side, trying to get him to break the hold. Odette is jumping up and down with her arm extended through the ropes, begging for a tag and another shot at Misty, as Misty watches on intently. Jordan is finally able to break free of the hold, and out of Thatcher's grasp, and he grabs Thatcher's head, delivering a powerful headbutt that sends both men stumbling back. Thatcher charges at Jordan after quickly shaking off the effects of the headbutt, but Jordan sees him coming and is able to quickly lift him up and deliver a power slam! Jordan goes for the cover!

Adams: Come on Jordan! I want to see another catfight!

Simone: I don't think he'd mind either, but he's right there for the tag.

Jordan is just inches away from Odette, as she anxiously waits for the tag. Misty continues to watch on, showing no emotion, as Thatcher starts to crawl his way over to their corner. Jordan is the first to get the tag, and Odette wastes no time in entering the ring, but Misty doesn't. Instead, she jumps down from the ring, standing on the floor outside and she stares at Odette with a wicked smile. Both Odette and Jasmine call for her to enter the ring, but she shakes her head, refusing to do so!

Simone: Oh come on! Misty is actually afraid to get in the ring against Odette?!

Adams: She doesn't look afraid.

Simone: Well she's certainly acting like she is!

Jasmine has no choice but to begin her count, and Thatcher, who is back to their corner and outside the ropes, looks at Misty furiously.

Simone: Just get in the damn ring, Misty!

4...
5...

Simone: Running away. That's a smart way to show you're the best like you claim to be.

Adams: The best at being a coward.

Simone: For once I agree with you on something, Jason!

6...
7...
8...

Adams: And there is the Misty we all know and love.

Simone: Love?

Adams: Umm...I mean love to hate!

She stomps away at her arch rival, refusing to slow down the attack, until Jasmine forces her away. Misty holds her hands up, and backs away, as Odette pulls herself to her feet using the ropes. Misty takes advantage charges at her, but Odette manages to duck and send Misty flying over the top rope! Misty, however, is able to save herself, landing on her feet on the ring apron.

Adams: Don't turn around Odette! Don't--

Odette doesn't notice, and when she spins back around, Misty grabs a hold of the top rope and launches herself over delivering a flying cross body! She hooks the leg and goes for the cover!

Adams: Too late...

Simone: I guess she didn't hear you.

1..
2..
Odette gets the shoulder up!

Simone: What is she doing now? Get her out of the ring!

Thatcher and Jordan begin throwing lefts and rights to each other, and Jasmine is distracted as she tries to get Misty out of the ring, but Misty keeps her gaze locked on Odette, who is slowly getting back to her feet outside the ring. Once she is back to her feet, Misty charges at the ropes near her, sliding under the bottom rope, and both her feet meet Odette's head, sending her crashing right back down to the floor, where Misty begins her attack. The two women begin rolling around on the floor, viciously screaming and yelling at each other in the process!

Adams: CATFIGHT!

Simone: And there we have the inevitable.

Thatcher launches Jordan against the ropes, and when Jordan comes rebounding back he attempts to duck it, Thatcher gets his knee up. Jordan collides with Thatcher's knee, and flys around it, landing on face up on the mat. Thatcher goes for the pin attempt, but Jordan kicks Thatcher's leg from underneath him, sending Thatcher down. Outside the ring, Misty and Odette are still beating the crap out of each other, not paying any attention to their partners in the ring!

Simone: Can't they get someone out here to separate those two? They don't even are about the match!

The two Bombshells get to their feet, and as Odette is about to send Misty flying against the steel steps, Misty counters, and it is Odette who crashes against the steps, immediately feeling the effects! Misty is breathing heavily, as she turns to see what is going on inside the ring.

Adams: I have a bad feeling about this...

Simone: So do I, Jason.

Adams: Hey..you agreed with me again!

Simone: I know...I'm officially scared.

Jordan tries not to pay attention, as Jasmine heads over to the situation, ordering Misty to get back to her own corner, but Misty ignores her. As Jordan continues to ignore Misty, and is about to attempt his move, Misty shoves Jordan off the top rope, and he crashes to the mat just feet away from Thatcher, and Jasmine immediately calls for the bell!

Justin: Ladies and Gentleman...your winners by disqualification and advancing to the final round...Jordan Williams and Odette Ryder!

Thatcher lifts his head up, looking at Misty furiously. She doesn't seem to care, as she is satisfied and pleased with her actions. She isn't paying attention, and when she jumps down from the ring apron, prepared to make her exit, Odette is standing right behind her with a steel chair in hand, and the crowd is cheering loudly! Misty stares at Thatcher, just shrugging as a fake apology, when Odette swings the chair around, nailing Misty right in the back! Misty falls to the floor, holding her back, and Odette swings the chair once more, this time hitting Misty's midsection!

Simone: Odette is furious, and there is no one out here to save Misty that's for sure!

Adams: I bet Misty will be regretting leaving her guard dogs in the back for this one!

Odette throws the chair down to the floor, screaming at Misty for good measure, before she slides back into the ring to check on Jordan. Both Jordan and Thatcher have gotten back to their feet. Jasmine raises Odette and Jordan's arms in victory, as Thatcher walks past them, ready to make his exit. In a show of sportsmanship, he shakes both Jordan and Odette's hands before he exits the ring, glancing down at Misty, shaking his head disappointedly as he walks past her not even bothering to check on her.

Simone: Well there you have it folks! Odette and Jordan are advancing to the finals, and it's all Misty's fault. Thatcher's suspicions turned out to be true all along.

Adams: And that surprises you?!

Simone: Not one bit.

Backstage we find Karina Koji knocking on the Deadly Sins locker room. This time she knocks with confidence. She bounces a little on her feet while she waits for someone to answer.

Fantasia: Ah, come in.

Karina shakes her head.

Karina: No, I mean, thanks but that's okay. Can I speak to Despayre? I won't take long.

Fantasia looks her over briefly before sighing.

Fantasia: Suit yourself. Just a second.

She turns away from the door and walks further into the room, unseen. Only a few moments later does Despayre appear in the doorway. He appears nervous, holding Angel warmly against his chest and fidgeting. He is almost burying his face behind the teddy bear's head.

Despayre: ... Hi.

Once Despayre comes to the door Karina looses some of her confidence. She looks at her feet not wanting to meet the eyes of either her partner or Angel. She looks to her left mumbling a little in Romanian before speaking up in English.

Karina: I know you don't want this match. I am sorry it happened this way. I just wanted you to know that I won't tag you in no matter what. If you get tagged in and don't want to do it,....just tag me in. I will win this match for both of us...then we can go to the finals...and like they say kick the asses.

Karina takes a chance and looks up at her partner hoping for a positive response.

Despayre: Swear jar.

Karina blinks, not comprehending what it was that Despayre just said.

Karina: I am sorry... what?

Despayre: Swear jar. You said a curse, so you owe Angel a quarter. .. or a dollar.

Despayre looks down at the teddy bear, as if to confer, then back to Karina.

Despayre: A quarter. Angel says 'babes' get discounts.

Karina looks at him for a long moment before going into her pocket. She digs deep and pulls out a few small things.

Karina: I have two nickels and Lego mini figure.

Despayre looks at Angel and nods.

Despayre: We like LEGOs.

Karina: So do I.

The two stand there looking at each other for another long moment. Karina looks at Angel and then back at Despayre.

Despayre: Thank you. About the match and stuff.

Karina nods. She offers her hand for Despayre. Her arm is stiff and slightly awkward. Angel shakes her hand and Karina smiles before turning to leave.

Gabriel is seen backstage walking through the hall. He looks down at the doors, looking for a name on a door. He stops outside the door reading "NXT" Gabriel breathes deeply and puts his knuckles up to knock on the door. As he tries to knock on the door, a hand grabs him around the wrist. Gabriel turns to see Derek Thorne holding his wrist.

Gabriel: I need to see Odette.

Derek shakes his head slowly.

Gabriel: I know you don't speak much English, and I have a house in your native land but not yet learned the language, but I need to see Odette.

Derek once again shakes his head slowly, his face stone like.

Gabriel: Odette? You hear me? I need to explain what happened in London, I need to tell her nothing happened.

Derek smiles

Derek: Du hanterade det dåligt, Gabriel. Odette vill inte se dig. Hon är inte här (You handled that poorly, Gabriel. Odette doesn't want to see you. She's not here)

Gabriel pushes Derek's hand away.

Gabriel: I don't know what you're talking about, but I need to see Odette.

Gabriel pushes Derek away and opens the door, walking in. Spike Staggs' look up at Gabriel.

Spike: He said Odette isn't here Gabriel. She left right after her match.

Gabriel: Are you serious?

Spike points to a seat and Gabriel sits down.

Spike: Yes Gabriel, she know you'd let her get her match out of the way and come and find her, so she left.

Gabriel: With Jordan?

Spike: I don't know but I do know I'm the leader of NXT, and I have to think about everyone, keep their heads in the game and Odette's head is all over the place. Your head is clearly all over the place, you two need to sort this out, before it breaks you both.

Gabriel looks at Spike.

Gabriel: That's why I'm here, I wanted to take her to San Juan for Wrestleclassic 2013. Was hoping the time away from it all, away from the cameras, we could get somewhere.

Spike: And if you didn't, I'd be in San Juan to kick your ass.

Gabriel: Right after you stop focusing about that World Title match, eh?

Spike nods slowly.

Spike: Look, I don't know where she's gone, but sort it out before we have to step in. Derek's very protective of NXT.

Gabriel: Derek needs to learn English to tell people that.

Gabriel stands up and walks towards the door.

Gabriel: Cheers for the advice Spike.

Gabriel taps Derek on the back as he walks past.

Gabriel: Sorry about the pushing you thing.

Derek stares blankly and coldly at Gabriel.

Gabriel: Spike...?

Spike: I'll tell him later.

The scene cuts back to ringside as Gabriel walks past.

Justin Decent: The following Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall! On the first team, already in the ring… Standing at 5 feet 5 inches and weighing in at 119 pounds, she is… TIAMI TYLER!!!

”Virtue and Vice” by Delain is playing over the speakers. Tiami stands in the ring, looking around as if the mixed reaction doesn’t bother her one bit. She smiles and stares on at the entrance ramp. The music fades out after a moment.

Justin Decent: And her partner, hailing from Portland, Oregon… Standing at 5 feet four inches and weighing in at 120 pounds, she is… BECKY “RAGDOLL” JONES!!!

”Lollipop” by Framing Hanley plays over the speakers loudly. 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 her opponent, unless they are already there in which case she stares them down while trying to syke them out.

Justin Decent: And their opponents…! At a combined weight of 300 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Darknyss, they are Raynin and Gothika… THE FALLEN!!!

The lights go out, and 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. The lights start to strobe to the beat of the music and we see the angels of The Fallen standing on stage looking confident. 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. Gothika, Raynin and Darknyss come back to the center of the stage and pose once more before they start to walk down the ramp to the ring. Darknyss stops at the center of the ramp as Raynin and Gothika each walk around opposite sides of the ring. Gothika slides under the bottom rope as Darknyss climbs up onto the edge of the apron and steps through the second rope and Raynin climbs the far stairs and grabs the top rope and flips over the rope. Raynin and Gothika each climb a corner throwing their fists in the air and pumping them to the beat of the music as Darknyss stands in the center of the ring, pointing at them and talking junk to the crowd, nodding. Raynin and Gothika jump down and switch corners, trying to hype up the crowd before they jump down and stand beside Darknyss, waiting for the match to begin.

DING! DING! DING!

Ragdoll and Tiami discuss in their corner exactly what they are going to do. After a brief moment, once they reach their decision, they are both smashed into the corner by a Body Avalanche from Raynin. Her and Gothika stomp away at the two Bombshells, grinding them into the corner. Raynin continues stomping away as Gothika backs up just a bit. Gothika dashes forward, landing a Dropkick to the opposing team as Raynin moves out of the way. On the outside, Darknyss shouts out in her approval. Raynin picks Ragdoll off of the mat and Gothika peels Tiami from the corner. They pull them a few feet apart before cracking their skulls together to a round of cheers. Referee Drew Patton tries enforcing himself, but Gothika does not heed his warning. Instead, she grabs Tiami and tosses her hard to the outside of the ring.

Simone: The Fallen are not finished making an impact apparently, as they are mowing right over Tyler and Jones.

Adams: That is their style. They didn’t get taken so seriously by sitting around and waiting to get noticed. They went out there and got noticed.

Raynin and Ragdoll get the official one-on-one start as Raynin lifts the slightly smaller Ragdoll off of the mat. To assert herself, she lifts Ragdoll up into a Military Press Slam and drops her behind like a bad habit! In an almost cocky sort of display, Raynin kicks Ragdoll, rolling her over onto her back and she places a boot on top of her chest for a pin. Drew drops down for the count.

1!

2!

KICKOUT!

Adams: This is the first time Ragdoll has acted like she was even a part of this match.

Simone: But she kicked out with force. It looks like she is in for a fight.

Raynin steps off of Becky and walks a few paces back, walking around to show off a bit. She soaks in the fans cheers before coming back to Becky, picking her up from the mat. As she does, Becky hits a Hiptoss across the ring and quickly turns around to face Raynin. As she does, Raynin hits a monstrous Clothesline that comes out of nowhere. She picks Ragdoll off of the mat and shoves her between her legs, lifting her up for a Powers to assert dominance. She lets out an adrenaline induced roar before turning around. She rolls back gracefully with a Standing Moonsault to Ragdoll, hooking the leg for another pin.

1!

2!

KICKOUT!

Adams: She is taking a beating, but she is coming back for more.

Simone: Raynin doesn’t look too happy about it other than the fact that she gets to keep beating on Ragdoll, treating her like her moniker.

Raynin stands up and pulls Ragdoll to the center of the ring, just in time to see Tiami get back to her corner. Before she knows what hit her, Raynin charges her like an angry bull. Tiami moves out of the way, and grabs onto Raynin’s head, dropping her throat across the top rope. As she falls back, Ragdoll comes out of nowhere, bringing her over with a German Suplex, bridging it into a pin.

1!

KICKOUT!

Adams: A good attempt by Ragdoll, but Raynin has proved that she cannot be put away that easily.

Simone: If not only for that, but Gothika had one foot in the ring, ready to stop the pin from going past two.

Raynin looks over to her impatient tag partner, who is out for blood. She looks from side to side, waving Raynin over toward her. Raynin looks at her as Becky sneaks up behind her. Raynin turns around with a Spinning Heel Kick from out of nowhere that sends Becky down to the mat. Raynin pulls her by the head and drags her over to the corner where she tags Gothika in. She steps back with Becky and picks her up by the side. She lays her back across her knee as Gothika climbs to the top rope. Gothika looks out before sailing off with a leg drop over Ragdoll. Raynin exits the ring, pleased with herself as Tiami shouts at the referee to do his job. Gothika drops down for the cover.

1!

2!

Simone: Tiami in for the save! She doesn’t look too happy about this either.

Adams: She is arguing with the referee who is trying to get her to the outside. Maybe she should have chosen her words more wisely with Drew a moment ago.

As soon as Tiami gets to the outside of the ring, Gothika swings Ragdoll with all of her might into the corner where she collides with Tiami in what is a legal tag. Tiami stumbles a bit, nearly falling off of the apron from the collision. In frustration, she climbs inside of the ring and charges at Gothika with a Clothesline. Gothika ducks it and grabs onto Tiami’s head and goes for a Neckbreaker, but Tiami wiggles her way out of it. She turns around and plants a boot to Gothika’s gut. She shoves her head between her legs, setting her up for a vicious Powerbomb. Tiami struggles a second to get Gothika up, and then Gothika lifts her up and drops her behind her. She stomps away at Tiami before picking her up and tossing her into the corner. She smashes her face into the turnbuckle with force multiple times before turning her around. Gothika steps backward like a panther, locked in on her prey as she moves to the center of the ring. She dashes forward and runs up to the second turnbuckle. Once there, she drops down and rolls Tiami over with a Monkey Flip that sends the blond Bombshell colliding with the mat.

Simone: We are seeing two new partners, but the sheer dominance has not changed in this match up. The Fallen are overpowering this oddly paired tandem.

Adams: I will say that it is slightly more entertaining watching Tiami get thrown around the ring, than it is to watch Ragdoll. I mean, who knows what could happen in a top that tight?

As Gothika stalks closer to Tiami, she can’t help but tilt her head back with a laugh. She leans down and picks Tiami off of the ground and whips her toward the ropes. Tiami reverses them and swings with a clothesline, but Gothika ducks it. She bounces off of the opposing ropes with a Spear attempt, but Tiami jumps back out of the way. Gothika comes off of the other ropes and Tiami goes for a Back Body Drop, but Gothika Baseball Slides underneath her, stopping just in the right position to hit Tiami with a thrust punch to the throat. As Tiami stumbles backward, Gothika gets up and hits a Downward Spiral that rocks the mat. She hooks the leg on Tiami as Drew goes to count.

1!

2!

2 ½!

KICKOUT!

Adams: Tiami just kicked out, so now it looks like we get to see this continue on.

Simone: It doesn’t look good. Tiami and Becky are both worn down, and The Fallen are near one hundred percent.

Gothika pounds the mat in frustration as she gets up from the mat. She has an intense look on her face as she suddenly darts across the ring, sending a flying kick to Ragdoll, knocking her off of the apron and into the barricade. She walks back over to Tiami and drags her by the head. She gives Raynin a nod and pulls Tiami onto her shoulders. She lifts up and climbs to the second rope. Raynin climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps over both of them, crashing down to the mat hard, finishing the Fall From Grace! Raynin stands in the ring as Gothika rolls Tiami over onto her back.

1!

2!

3!

Justin Decent: Your winners… THE FALLEN!!!

Simone: That was no real surprise, but the fact that they maintained dominance from beginning to end with little interruption makes me wonder…

Adams: Who is going to stand a chance against The Fallen after a showing like this?

Simone: Uhhh, no you idiot… Wait, actually yes. That is exactly what I was thinking. That’s kind of scary.

Adams: Well, I learned a few tricks from Gabriel, but a true wannabe part time magician who uses magic strictly to impress the ladies never reveals his secrets!

Inside of the ring, Gothika and Raynin are joined by Darknyss, who raises their arms in victory. After pausing for the fans for a moment, Raynin and Gothika pick up their opponents and dispose of them, clearing the ring out and dusting their hands off afterwards. They get an approving nod from Darknyss as they prepare to exit the ring. As soon as they are on the outside of the ring, the lights go out. Moments later, there is a scuffle going on

Adams: Not again!

Simone: Another cowardly attack going on in a seemingly random series of attacks. It sounds like The Fallen is putting up one hell of a fight though.

Adams: I don’t care about that, I only care about the darkness… Hurry up and kick their asses already, would you?

The lights return to normal as we see Raynin and Gothika laid out on the ground with Darknyss holding her head by the ring steps. The fans boo, and shout out words of encouragement for The Fallen as we catch just the slightest glimpse of a black heeled boot sliding through the curtains as we fade to the back.

The cameras switch backstage, to a commotion being heard. Security staff stand in between Kain and Frost having a war of words with the Young Lions and Aleksei Koji. Both teams yell at each other, but Hot Stuff Mark Ward appears.

HS: Knock it off you lot!

The two teams look at Hot Stuff.

HS: Much better. I'm actually glad you lot are all in the same place, I got something to tell you.

The teams listen closely.

HS: Now being as you Kain, have been out and about, challenging half my roster in a sad attempt to get noticed. It got me thinking. Maybe I'm just not putting you in enough challenging matches, so I'm here to change that. As for you...

Hot Stuff points at Aleksei Koji.

HS: I like you as much as Kain likes me, which is well, very little. Soooooo, just to give Kain more of a challenge, and well, put your two here through a little more hell, I decided that tag match of yours at Blaze Of Glory II, is going to be a triple threat match. Blood Omen will now defend against The Young Lions, and Casper Grey and Goth.

All eyes burn a hole through Hot Stuff.

HS: Now considering you accepted Goth's challenge, this one makes sense and considering that Grey and Goth were so close to taking that tag gold not long ago, I'd like to think this has made it a lot more challenging for ya. Now feel free to rip each others heads off.

Hot Stuff smirks and walks away, leaving Blood Omen and The Young Lions pondering the new addition to their match

The crowd remains quiet as the ringside area is empty, when that quickly changes as "Cocky" by Kid Rock starts to play, drawing boos from the crowd.

Adams: Here comes Nick Jones!

Simone: Oh super.

A moment later, the curtain parts and out steps Nick Jones casually dressed, on his own and with a microphone in hand. Nick takes a few steps out to the top of the ramp, before stopping and turning back towards the curtain. The curtain opens again, and this time out through it walks a variety of people is Nick is joined by his girlfriend, Diana Roberts, and all of the members of his entourage one by one; Big B, Tony Capicelli, Jimmy Mason and Max Goldstein.

Simone: It looks as though Nick felt the need for plenty of backup today.

Nick waits as Diana comes up to his side, and he takes her by the arm as the two of them walk down the ramp, followed by the rest of the group. As they hit the bottom of the ramp, Nick takes Diana by the hand and leads her up the steel ring steps in front of him, following right behind him as the two climb into the ring. Meanwhile, the other four men come to a stop and turn back towards the entranceway, standing in a line as they wait at the bottom of the ramp. Inside of the ring, Nick puts his arm around Diana and lifts the microphone up to his mouth as his music comes to a stop.

Nick: Let's cut right to the chase here. There is one and only one reason I am standing in the middle of this ring right now talking and not out here winning yet another match.

Adams: Oh, I know! It's because he doesn't have a match, right?

Nick: The reality of the situation is that I, by all rights, should still be dominating my way through this silly little boy-girl tag tourney nonsense. Unfortunately, it turns out my completely useless partner Blitzen.

The crowd boos at Nick's disparaging comments towards his tournament partner.

Adams: Someone needs to tell Nick that Vixen is named after a different reindeer.

Simone: I'm pretty sure Nick is well aware of what her name really is, and I assure you she is not named after a reindeer.

Adams: No really, there's totally a reindeer named Vixen.

Nick: I shouldn't be surprised that she didn't have what it takes to pull off the win when in that ring, but even still, that should not have mattered one bit. The true reason that her loss was even allowed to happen is I wasn't there to stop it, and the only reason for that was because of that spineless loser Matthew Kennedy.

Simone: Yet Nick is the one out here with his bodyguard crew.

Nick ignores the boos from the crowd and continues speaking.

Nick: I swear Matty boy, you're dumber than I ever even suspected, and that's really saying something. You really never do learn do you? Well rest assured, that is a moment that you will forever live to regret. I've beaten you before Matty and I promise you I can, and will, do it again. The difference this time? I won't make the mistake of letting you walk away in one piece. By the time I'm finished with you this time, I'll be sure that I am never going to have to deal with you, or any of your nonsense, ever again. Because you see...

Before Nick can get out another word, he is cut off as the PA system comes alive and "Unbelievable" by EMF starts to play, drawing a round of loud cheers from the audience in the process. Nick immediately turns toward the entranceway with a scowl on his face.

Simone: Here comes one of our SCW Co-Owners, and Nick looks none too happy with which one it is.

A moment later, SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood walks out onto the stage with a microphone in his hand. Christian stops at the top of the ramp and waits for his music to be cut before speaking.

Christian: Well well well Nick, it sure seems like someone is awfully anxious.

Nick: What do you want?!?

Christian: Hey now, is that any way to talk to your boss?

Nick: Let's get one thing clear, there's only one boss around here I answer to, and that's not you.

Christian: You most certainly do. Whether you like it or not, everyone does. Besides, let's not forget who signed you to your SCW contract.

Christian smirks at Nick, who has nothing to say as he continues to look quite unhappily at Christian.

Simone: Christian certainly has him there, although I wouldn't doubt if Christian has lived to regret that decision.

Adams: If you remember, Nick made it known pretty early on that he wasn't too happy with it either.

Christian waits for some sort of response from Nick, but with none coming he continues on.

Christian: Speechless? Wow, there's a first time for everything I suppose. Now before you get your panties in a bunch about why I'm out here, let me assure you that you should listen to what I have to say, because you might just like it. You see, it's become pretty clear to me that what you were out here talking about moments about is not just what you want, but it's what Matthew Kennedy wants and it's what the SCW fans want. Therefore, at Blaze of Glory II, I am booking a match... Nick Jones verses Matthew Kennedy!

The crowd cheers loudly as the announcement also quickly changes Nick's demeanor, bringing a smile to his face.

Nick: It seems like you're finally learning Christian. The more you listen to me, the better things will go for you.

Christian: I'm not so sure about that one, but when it's a match that everyone wants, then unlike some people around here, I'm not going to do things just out of spite. Best of luck to you Nick, I think you might be needing it.

Christian turns and goes to leave as Nick waves him off, dismissing Christian's last comment as he goes to turn back towards the crowd and speak again. However, before Nick has the chance to say anything, Christian stops and turns back around and beats him to the punch.

Christian: Oh, I almost forgot. You are aware that this is a one on one match we're talking about here, not Kennedy verses you and your entire little crew here, right?

Christian points towards the members of the Entourage currently standing at the bottom of the ramp as Nick turns his attention back towards Christian, once again looking unhappy with his boss.

Nick: Of course, and despite what you may be insinuating, I don't need anyone's help to beat that putz Kennedy or anyone else in this company for that matter.

Christian: I'm glad to hear that, because I plan on making sure the match really is just between the two of you.

The crowd cheers loudly at this comment while Nick looks even more displeased, while he quickly snaps back at Christian.

Nick: Oh really? And what about Matt and his stupid little lackey Marty McFly, huh?

Adams: Matt is friends with the kid from Back to the Future?

Simone: I'm pretty sure Nick is referring to Marty McFarge.

Adams: Oh, that's disappointing.

Christian seems to be thinking Nick's comment over before responding.

Christian: You know what, that's a good point you make there.

A big smile comes across Nick's face as he nods his head confidently.

Christian: So I figure why not go with the simplest possible way to make sure there is absolutely nothing to worry about for either one of you. Nobody else will be getting involved in this match and I can ensure that for one very simple reason, because it will be taking place inside of a steel cage!

Nick's draw drops as the crowd explodes with cheers. A huge smile comes across Christian's face as he then waves towards Nick before turning and walking away, as Nick is left in the ring starting to scream out after Christian as he leaves.

Adams: A steel cage match?! Wow, can you believe it?

Simone: I have a funny feeling Matthew Kennedy is going to be much happier about this than Nick Jones is.

Justin: Our next match is scheduled for one fall. Our first opponent is from Hollywood California. At 6’ 4’’ and 245 pounds he is 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 before he hops down, removes his vest and tests the ropes in the corner, letting the referee check his boots and knee pads.

Justin: And his opponent. Weighing in at 225 pounds and also hailing from the Los Angeles basin. He is KEVIN CARTER!!!

The arena lights begin to dim down until the arena has gone completely dark. Then the opening to "Porn Star Dancing" could be heard playing throughout the arena. This caused the crowd to react a little bit. The moment the lights came back on there stood Kevin Carter at the top of the ramp just looking around the arena with a smug look on his face. It didn't take long for the crowd to start booing him, but he clearly didn't mind as he started to walk towards the ring. In a rather cocky manner he slipped through the ropes and went right to one of the corners. He proceeded to climb it to the second rope and held his hands out at his sides leaning his head back almost as if he was telling the crowd to bow to him. Seconds later he leaped down as he began to remove his jacket tossing it to the outside. That's when he leaned into the corner turning his attention to the entrance way as his music died down.

Simone: We have two very talented up and comers. I can’t wait for this match to get started.

Adams: Hey why doesn’t anyone ever describe me as a talented up and comer.

Simone: Think is has something to do with the talent part of that.

DING DING DING

Ace motions as if he plans to lock up with Kevin. Kevin does the same but at the last moment twist away and punches Ace dangerously close to the throat. Ace stumbles to his knees and the referee is getting in Kevin's face. He just grins.

Simone: Cheap shot to set the tone of this match.

After the referee allows for Ace to get to his feet Kevin charges at him taking him back down to his knees with well placed chop block. He comes at him again with spinning kick, but this time Ace is ready for him grabbing one leg and sweeping out the other to bring Kevin to the canvas. The crowd gives him a decent pop for the momentum as he grabs Carter’s leg again and performs an elbow drop. He then gets to his feet.

Adams: Well at least the cheap shot did not end this match early. Hey what do you think makes Ace amazing?

Simone: Why don’t you hush a little and maybe we can find out.

Both men are on their feet now. They lock up in the middle. Both fighter tries to get the advantage on the other. Kevin gets Ace into a headlock but Ace pushes out of it and reverses behind Kevin. Kevin follows that up with an elbow that leads into a reverse of his own. Kevin slams ace with a German suplex.

Simone: Quick back and forth from these two new talents.

Ace gets up quick but Kevin is ready for him grabbing him into a running bulldog. This time Baldwin is slow getting up and Kevin responds with a stiff kick to his body before helping him to his feet. He whips him into the ropes. Ace ducks under Kevin’s elbow on the rebound and responds with a uppercut that leaves Carter dazed. Both men start to exchange blows but Ace gets the advantage and takes Kevin off his feet with shoulder block. Kevin gets up quick but Ace hits him again with another shoulder block. The crowd cheers him on.

Adams: Its hard to know at this point who has the advantage.

Simone: Its hard to believe you’re paying attention for once.

Adams: Hey...I sometimes pay attention....oh look someone has a really shiny shirt on in the Party Horde section.

Ace is getting Kevin to his feet and whipping him into the corner. He chases after with a elbow strike that misses its mark when Kevin twist out of the way. Carter smirks at Ace and moves quickly out of the way. He creates some distance to catch his breath. Ace charges at him locking him up and bringing him down with a stunning brain buster suplex. Ace tries to grab Carter for a quick pin but Kevin turns it into a roll up causing a pin of his own.

Simone: Kevin Carter tries to steal this one but I think its going to take more than that to pull off the win.

Before Ace can get up Kevin knocks him down with a standing drop kick. He then tries for Ace struggles enough that once the move is locked in he is close enough to the ropes. He gets out of it and the referee is calling for Kevin to let go. He holds on not giving it up, waiting until the last moment before letting up. The crowd boo’s Kevin Carter as he gets up. He gives them a little bow and waits for Ace to get to his feet.

Simone: I don’t get the feeling that Kevin is much of a people person

Ace gets up gingerly and Kevin does not seem willing to give him much of a break. He runs at Ace but Baldwin surprises everyone with a drop kick that connects with Kevin’s head. Carter hits the canvas hard and the crowd gives Amazing Ace a huge pop.

Adams: That was a great move...dare I say it...Amazing...

Ace gets Kevin back up just to bring him back down with an atomic drop. He waits for Carter to stumble up and he then hits him with a hard spear. Ace follows that up with a dragon sleeper.

Simone: He is going for the Ace Lock!

Adams: Amazing! Kevin Carter gets a foot up this match is not over.

Kevin rolls out of the ring to catch his breath. The fans nearby jeer him and as he steadies himself he yells at them to shut up. Meanwhile Ace is in the middle of the ring waiting for his opponent to get back in.

Simone: I think nobody was more surprised by that momentum shift than Kevin himself.

Adams: Well he needs to suck it up and get back in there.

Simone: I think he heard you.

Adams: Crap....hide me.

Kevin rolls back in as the referee counts to seven. He stays low as he gets to his feet. The two fighters lock up again. Kevin breaks the hold and drives an elbow at Ace who staggers back. Kevin tries to grab him but this time Ace breaks the hold and tries to whip Carter into the ropes. Kevin reverses that and brings Ace back with a short arm clothesline. Ace bounces back up quick ducks under Kevin's attempt at a heel kick and brings Carter down with a floating neck breaker.

Simone: Both men still have a lot of fight left in them.

Ace is up first and keeps his eyes on his opponent who is starting to get himself up. A well placed chop block brings Kevin to his knees and then Ace jumps for a nearby rope and performs a springboard heel kick that brings Kevin to the canvas.

Adams: Yeah but i think Amazing has some more in him.

Simone: Can you please stop saying Amazing.

Ace hauls Kevin to his feet as the fans cheer him on. Kevin brings his knee up hitting Ace in the gut causing him to break the hold. Carter swings his fist at Ace who blocks, hits Kevin with a knee strike of his own and lifts him up for a spinning spine buster.

Adams: Out of nowhere. That was am...ummm awesome.

Simone: Kevin Carter has been fighting back hard but I am not sure if he can pull this one off.

Ace scrambles and puts Kevin in the Ace Lock again. They are in the center of the ring. Kevin fights hard against it but has nowhere to go. He taps out.

Simone: A great fight from both of these men. I bet we will see many great things from both of these guys but for tonight the win is Aces.

After Ace had left the ring Carter walked over to the side of the ring and started to demand a microphone be handed to him. It didn’t take long at all before that microphone its way into his hand. Carter went right back to the center of the ring and raised it up to his lips wasting no time to express his feelings.

Kevin Carter: Sit down, and shut the hell up!

As one could expect the fans did the opposite. They rose to their feet and booed him even more. Carter stood there for a second or two shaking his head a little bit. None the less though, he had a message to deliver and he was going to make sure it got delivered.

Kevin Carter: I have been in this company now for two weeks and I already can’t stand to see you people in the stands. It actually makes me sick to my stomach to come out here and listen to all the boos. It makes me sick to listen to all the chants. It makes me sick to listen to all the disrespect, but I learned a long time ago you people only do it because you are mad at the fact you will never ever find yourselves in my shoes.

He had this little smirk featured, and truth be told he had a point. There’s not a person in the world that didn’t want to be in his position. He was famous. He was rich. He had the women, the cars, the houses, and the cash flow. He had the whole world and people envied him for it which was understandable.

Kevin Carter: But you see as much as you boo me and as much as you wish you could be in my shoes. You still prove to be nothing more than hypocrites. Because if I were to say I came back for you, if I were to come out here and say I’m doing what I do for all of you. If I were to come out here and crack a couple cheesy jokes as well as cater to you then each and every single one of you would be cheering me. You’d be rocking my t-shirts. You’d be wanting to slap hands with me and want me to sign autographs after the show. You are nothing more than mindless sheep with hypocritical tendencies.

Carter took a moment to pause as he nodded his head a little bit. Once again it appeared that he had a point. One thing people would learn about the Main Attraction. He had a point all the time and he always hit the nail on the head. He spoke the truth and as much as people hated the truth at times there was no escaping it.

Kevin Carter: No matter what though, no matter what you people still come to see the Main Attraction. It doesn’t matter if you were here to cheer me. It doesn’t matter if you are here to boo me like you are right now. It doesn’t matter if you paid to see me win or if you paid to see me lose. Point is despite whether or not you want to admit it. I caught your attention and I got you hooked in like a fish with nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide and no way for you to escape the reality, and I couldn’t find it funnier.

As one could expect the fans booed him just a little bit more and there was a reason for booing him as much as they were. It’s because he was right and not a single one of them wanted to accept it. There was no way around it though the truth was the truth and that’s just what it was.

Kevin Carter: Here’s how I look at it though, the more you people boo me and the more exposure you give me the bigger star I become. I was the hottest thing in professional wrestling no more than five years ago. I did it all. I won it all and now that I’m here in Sin City Wrestling history is going to repeat itself. It doesn’t matter who I’m in the ring with Ace Baldwin, Daniel Tyler, Casper Grey, Matthew Kennedy, or even Spike Staggs. I will prove without a shadow of a doubt I’m better than them. I will beat them one, two, three just as easy as that and I will become the biggest thing this company has ever laid their eyes on.

He stood there in the middle of the ring with a rather confident look on his face. The more and more he made these comments the more and more he put pressure on himself to back them. However that was the thing with Carter he thrived off pressure and he always managed to be a man of his word.

Kevin Carter: You can write it down, you can take a picture, make a facebook status about it, tweet it, and hell you can reblog it on tumblr for all I give a fuck. I’m saying right here and right now by the time two thousand thirteen comes to an end, I will have become not only the biggest thing to ever appear in SCW, but I will be the World Heavyweight Champion!

Fans didn’t seem to want to accept his words and their boos became the loudest they had been all night. All sorts of things were starting to be shouted at him. Carter couldn’t help but shake his head at the disrespect. That’s when he brought the microphone back up to deliver a message to them.

Kevin Carter: I’d tell you all to suck it, but let’s be honest shall we? Not even the best pornstars can deep throat this!

At that point Carter shrugged his shoulders tossing the microphone up in the air and letting it hit the mat with a huge thud. “Pornstar Dancing” started to play as Carter dropped down and rolled on out of the ring. Fans continued to boo him but Carter didn’t seem to care in the least bit. He walked up the ramp and disappeared behind the curtains leaving the fans on their own.

The scene shows Casey Williams backstage, ready for his match with Beautiful Billy James, and he wants to call out Derek Thorne.

"Derek, you think your words scare me, that is a joke and a half, just like the man who said them. You had to attack me when I faced Argento and cost me the match, and it will be me seeking the revenge I deserve. I will show you why I am the Freight Train of Pain when I destroy Billy tonight and you come Blaze of Glory II.

The scene fades as Casey walks away, cackling at the joke known as Derek Throne

The camera cuts back to the ring, where a table and two chairs are set up either side. On the table, a brown leather folder sits as well as microphones.

Simone: It's time for the contract signing, but before we do, let's check out the highlights of these two men's history.

Click here to see past Hot Stuff Mark Ward Vs Billy James matches.

Adams: Do you think people really hit the link?

Simone: I hope so, took someone a lot of hard work finding those things.

Justin Decent stands in the ring.

Justin: Please welcome, Co-owner of SCW, Hot Stuff Mark Ward

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 pryo’s explode either side of the stage. Skid Row's "Midnight Tornado" Starts to boom through the speakers. 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. Hot Stuff is wearing a silver business suit. 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 running and jumping on to the ropes, his arms held high in the air, fans still booing and cheering.

HS: The time has come Billy. It's time for you to get down here and sign away your soul one more time. You'd think after all the times we've met and I've kicked your arse all over the place, you'd think you'd give up, go back home with that wife of yours and stay there, but no. This time Billy, I will be sending you home for good.

"Pour Some Sugar on Me" by Def Leppard starting to blast throughout the arena, drawing a loud burst of cheers from the crowd. Beautiful Billy James walks out from behind the curtain and looks at Hot Stuff seriously. Walking down the ramp, he focuses solely on Hot Stuff. Billy quickly climbs the steps and in to the ring, picking up a microphone from the table. The music fades out and Billy speaks.

Billy: Do you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk? Seriously, you could put people to sleep the way you drone on and on about stuff. Blaze Of Glory II can not come soon enough, so I can finally shut you the hell up.

Hot Stuff looks at Billy, his free hand in a ball. Hot Stuff pushes the contract towards Billy.

HS: How about you shut the hell up now and sign the contract?

Billy flips the folder open, picking up a pen from inside the folder and looking around the crowd. Billy hovers the pen over the paper and scribbles his name across it before Hot Stuff picks up the pen and holds it over the paper. Hot Stuff drops the pen on the table and shakes his head, picking up the contract and ripping it up. The fans boo as Billy looks confused.

Simone: What the hell?

HS: Did you really think it was gonna go down like that Billy? Match five and you think it was gonna all be about wrestling? No, it's about me ripping your head off, it's about me ripping you apart, ending you.

Hot Stuff reaches under his jacket to an inside pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper. Hot Stuff places it on the table and picks up the pen, signing it. He throws the pen towards Billy and picks the mic to his lips again.

HS: This contract Billy boy, isn't a normal contract. This contract here, is one that will finally end your career, put you back in the rest home and leave you to rot. This contract Billy is for a Barbed Wire Massacre match. You got the balls Billy?

Adams: Wow!

Billy stands silently for a moment, staring at Hot Stuff without the slightest bit of reaction. That is, until a smile slowly starts to spread across his face as he picks his microphone back up.

Billy: Oh, Mark. You just made me the happiest man in this whole entire arena. My intention was never to have some sort of simple straight-laced wrestling match. This has gotten way past wins and losses, it's personal and frankly Mark, I want to hurt you. You just made that all that much simpler for me and for that, I suppose I should thank you. The last time we fought I whooped you all over the streets of your own home town. This time? I'm going to finish you, once and for all, in your very own company. So in case you didn't get it... you're on.

The crowd cheers as Billy holds the pen above the paper, ready to sign the contract, but is cut off by music. "Subconscious" hit’s the PA System and the crowd starts booing, with a few scatters of cheers as Jordan Williams comes walking out behind the curtain. Jordan has his arms up in the air as the fans shower him in boos. Some fans reach out to slap high fives with him, but Jordan ignores them with his cocky grin etched onto his face. Jordan walks up the steps and leaps over the top rope flawlessly. A serious look crosses his face as he leans over to Justin Decent, being handed a microphone. "Subconscious" fades out and Jordan speaks.

Jordan: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second, here! You guys can’t seriously be thinking about this…Barbed Wire Massacre!?

The fans explode into cheers as Jordan has a concerned look on his face.

Jordan: Mark, I’ve seen what this match can do…to you especially. Why in the hell do you wanna go through this again!?

HS shrugs his shoulders to indicate he has no problem with it.

Jordan: Billy…well I guess I don’t have to say anything, because you’re cool with it too, huh?

Billy mouths can bee seen mouthing “Whatever it takes.”

Jordan: But I’m, not cool with it! I have been both of your friends through all this bullshit. A ten year war! I’ve watched this go from a friendly rivalry for the GCW World Title, to what it is today: A means for one of you to finally end the other. I can’t have that. No fucking way!

The fans in the arena start booing as Billy and HS just keep glaring at each other.

Jordan: I don’t give a damn what you fans think! Don’t you guys remember all the good times we had? Remember when we broke into the Mobley Congregation’s church and destroyed it?

Adams: I remember that! That was great stuff!

Jordan looks at Billy and HS and neither of them show any emotion at his comments.

Jordan:Don’t you remember all the fun? All the drinking, the strip clubs….Hell, am I the only that remembers Air Sexy!? How much fun….

Jordan’s words die as he looks at both HS and Billy and see the intensity on both of their faces, neither man flinching at any of Jordan’s comments. Jordan shakes his head in disgust with his hands on his hips.

Jordan: Forget it! I can see it in your eyes…nothing is going to change this match. I can beg, plead, cajole, cry-nothing will change the fact that you two are hell bent on destroying each other. Because when you guys step inside that ring with the Barbed Wire Massacre stipulation-there won’t be a winner, you both lose. But you two can’t see that…so sad.

Jordan drops the microphone and walks to the corner and leans up against the turnbuckles while rubbing his forehead in repulsion.

HS: All well and true Jordan but the fact of the matter is SCW will be a better place without Billy James in it. I wouldn't blame Billy for running like a coward.

Billy: That's a funny one. Why don't we recap who's more likely scared of who here, shall we? You tried to run me off from the first day I started hanging around in SCW, it didn't work. Then, you attempted to keep me from being able to get an SCW contract, that didn't work either. From there, you did everything in your power to stay away from me, but that lasted only so long. And finally, you tried to refuse to have this match, yet here we stand. This has been many years in the making and there's not a thing in this world that's going to stop it from happening now. Sorry Jordan, this needs to be done and nothing you say can change that. Don't fret though, two weeks from now you'll be able to finally stop all your worries about what happens between me and Mark. You may be asking yourself why, since none of those other matches ever put an end to this, and the answer is simple, because in two weeks your friend Mark here will be confined to a hospital bed for the foreseeable future, and that will be all she wrote.

Billy picks up the pen and holds it over the contract, keeping his eyes on Hot Stuff. Jordan shakes his head, asking Billy not to sign but Billy signs his name on the paper to huge cheers! Jordan rubs both his hands over his head as "Pour Some Sugar On Me" blasts through the speakers.

Simone: It's official! Hot Stuff Vs Billy five will now be a barbed wire massacre.

Adams: I can't blame Jordan for trying to stop this, this one is not gonna be for the weak of heart.

Backstage, Spike Staggs is seen opening the door to the NXT locker room. He is talking on his cell phone indistinctively as he walks in and turns on the light. He stops dead in his tracks as he looks around muttering something into the phone.

Spike: What… the… FUCK!!!

The camera moves inside as Spike tosses his phone across the room. As we look around, we see the showerhead broken off and spraying water everywhere, flooding the floor. There are male, black haired baby dolls hanging from the ceiling. We pan further around to see dead roses crumbled on the floor, and a very clear crimson marking that reads “7DS” across the far wall. All of the duffel bags of the NXT members are thrown around the room, their contents scattered, broken, as they are being drenched by the water. Spike’s nostrils flare as he begins to shake with anger.

Spike: That stupid gorilla thinks he can screw around like this with me after playing nice to my face?! We’ll see about that…

With that, Spike storms out of the locker room, leaving the door gaping open. As he leaves, he bumps right into Jamie, who takes one look inside of the locker room, nodding his head in a bit of admiration at this work before shaking it off and chasing after Spike.

---

The camera returns to the ringside area where the introductions for the next match are about to commence.

Justin: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is a semi-final match in the 'Blast From the Past' Mixed Tag Team tournament!

The crowd applauds, getting ready for what is about to be a potential once in a lifetime encounter.

Justin: Introducing first! From the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, weighing 116 pounds ... 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: Her tag team partner is accompanied to the ring by Synn ... and Angel! From Vancouver, British Columbia, weighing 176 pounds, he is one-half of the NWA World Tag Team Champions ... 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 and Karina for the pre-match pep talk.

Adams: Look at Despayre. He's always so excited whenever he's in the ring but this time he actually looks scared.

Simone: Of course he's scared. He's about to be facing Gabriel, his best friend and tag team partner. It can't be doing him much good mentally.

The crowd starts to settle down as the introductions are set to continue.

Justin: And their opponents… Introducing first, hailing from Tampa, Florida, standing at 5 feet 6 inches and weighing in at 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.

Justin: And her partner… hailing from London, England… Standing at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing in at 230 pounds, he is one half of the 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 of the cornered off area, 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 waist coat, a long chain hanging from his neck, with a huge medallion with the letter G in a circle. Over his right shoulder, the NWA World Tag Team Championship belt sits comfortably. 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 a referee as the music stops.

Simone: Gabriel is a confident man but he doesn't look too anxious to be in there with the man he has often called his 'little brother'.

Synn takes Despayre by the arm and ushers him to the center of the ring, and Karina follows. Synn then beckons Gabriel over as well, and Roxi follows her partner. Synn drapes his arms around both men's shoulders, whispering to them. He then steps back and gestures for them to shake hands. Gabriel smiles and holds his hand out for Despayre, when the little guy forgoes the handshake and instead, grabs Gabriel in a tight embrace. After a few seconds, it's released and Despayre is escorted back to his corner with Karina while Gabriel heads back to his own with Roxi. Synn drops to the floor while Karina whispers to Despayre and he nods, constantly stealing looks back over at Gabriel before he yields and steps to the outside. Gabriel double high-fives Roxi and steps out as well. Synn walks over to a neutral corner and stands stationary as Drew calls for the bell!

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!

Roxi and Karina lock up, but Roxi takes advantage, getting behind Karina and lifting Karina off her feet, slamming her down face first. Karina wiggles free and Karina gets back to her feet, but Roxi also springs to her feet with cat like quickness. Karina goes for a clothesline but Roxi ducks. Both turn around to face each other but Roxi strikes with a quick shot to the head. Roxi grabs Karina and lifts her over with a quick sharp snap suplex. Karina rolls over and holds her back. Roxi pulls Karina to her feet and whips Karina in to the corner. Roxi charges in and jumps in the air, grabbing hold of Karina's head and flipping her over with a monkey flip. Roxi gets to her feet, as does Karina but Roxi charges with a heart attack clothesline, knocking Karina to the ground. Roxi rolls on top.

1..

Karina quickly kicks out.

Simone: Karina wants this too much to allow herself to get defeated that easily.

Both women get to their feet and Karina goes for the clothesline but Roxi ducks and grabs Karina's head and drops her down with a neckbreaker. Roxi walks over to the corner, tagging in Gabriel to huge cheers. Gabriel climbs inside of the ring and claps his hands and waves for Despayre to climb into the ring but Despayre shakes his head in the negative. The official, Jasmine, walks over and tells the young man to get into the ring and he again shakes his head 'no'. Karina gets up to her feet and walks to her corner and nods, whispering something to Despayre which gets him to finally tag himself in. The fans cheer as Despayre climbs through the ropes, but he turns right around and tags Karina!

Adams: Aw man! That's not right!

Simone: But unfortunately it is legal.

Gabriel looks at his friend and shakes his head in disappointment and turns back to Roxi and tags her back in. Karina and Roxi enter the ring and both charge towards each other. Karina catches Roxi with a clothesline and takes her down. Karina quickly stomps on Roxi's shoulder and drops down and locks on an armbar.

Simone: Karina loves causing pain.

Adams: That's why he and I run in different circles!

Karina pulls back but Roxi gets on to her knees and on to her feet but Karina gets under her arm and lifts Roxi over with a belly to back suplex, crashing Roxi to the floor. Karina takes Roxi by the wrist and lifts it up and drops a knee down on to Roxi's shoulder. Karina pulls Roxi to her feet and takes her by the wrist, charging Roxi at the ropes and throwing her over the top rope, keeping hold of Roxi's wrist, and using Roxi's weight, and pulling on Roxi's shoulder. Roxi holds her shoulder and pulls Roxi up by the hair and flips her back over the top rope. Karina picks Roxi up to her feet and catches her with an elbow in the jaw, sending Roxi back in to the corner. Roxi moves along the ropes, but Karina puts her arm around Roxi's chin and drives her backwards, ramming her head in to the back of the turnbuckle. Karina drives her knees in to the gut of Roxi. Roxi tries to cover up but Karina grabs her by the head and turns back to the turnbuckle. Karina grabs Roxi's head and jumps off the turnbuckle, crashing Roxi down with a tornado DDT! Karina goes for the cover.

1..
2...

Roxi kicks out.

Simone: Karina nearly finished this one off.

Karina walks to the corner and double high-fives Despayre, but as she goes back toward Roxi, Jasmine informs her that what they just did was a legal tag and orders Despayre into the ring. Despayre looks worried and Karina tries arguing when Roxi dropkicks her from behind and Koji goes sailing through the ropes and to the arena floor!

Adams: I don't think she's going to be tagging Despayre back in as fast this time!

Gabriel vaults over the ropes and into the ring, and Despayre very slowly climbs through the ropes. He looks between Gabriel and Karina on the outside helplessly. Gabriel calls to him and Despayre turns back around, looking extremely scared. Gabriel then points at the teddy bear in the corner and says aloud "Angel said you can do it" Despayre looks at the bear and chewing the tip of his forefinger, nods.

Simone: I think we're going to see it.

Adams: Finally!

Despayre continues to steal glances out toward Karina and Angel, then back to Gabriel as the two best friends circle the ring. They go for the initial lock up but Gabriel instead grabs Despayre in a side headlock. Gabriel cranks it on until Despayre manages to wriggle free and send Gabriel into the ropes. Despayre drops down as Gabriel runs over him and into the ropes. Gabriel comes off and Despayre jumps into his arms for a cradle takedown.

Simone: I can't believe we're actually seeing Gabriel and Despayre opposing one another like this.

Despayre then runs into the ropes and the two men collide in a shoulder block, but neither goes down. Despayre staggers back a few steps due to the size difference. Despayre then runs into the ropes once again but this time Gabriel catches him with a drop toe hold, taking him to the mat. Gabriel holds him there with the leg scissors, then switches the hold to a leg grapevine on the mat.

Adams: Notice this isn't the high flying, high impact match these two usually put on?

Simone: Most likely because neither of these men want to do anything that would hurt the other, despite the desire to win. I think we're going to see a bit more technical wrestling than we're perhaps used to.

Gabriel lets go of the grapevine and switches to a reverse chinlock on the mat. Despayre wriggles around on the canvas and the chinlock switches to a side headlock. Gabriel holds him steady, knowing how fast paced Despayre prefers the action to be. Despayre then cups Gabriel's neck and leg with his arms and pulls him over into a cradle.

1..... Gabriel kicks out quickly.

Gabriel manages to retain the headlock but Despayre uses his legs too grab Gabriel in a headscissors, breaking the headlock. Gabriel rolls back and forth on the mat, then he manages to roll to his hands and knees. Gabriel somersaults over Despayre into a bridging cradle.

1.....
2..... Despayre kicks out.

Adams: Whew! Gabriel almost caught Despayre unaware with that one.

Simone: I think Gabriel has a distinct advantage when it comes to technical skill inside of the ring.

Gabriel gets hold of Despayre but the little guy starts avoiding his grasp, ducking and weaving, sliding through his arms and then diving between his legs.

Simone: Getting a firm grip on Despayre is like trying to catch greased lightning!

Before Gabriel can turn around, Despayre springs up onto his shoulders and takes him over in a victory roll, hooking both legs!

1.....
2..... Gabriel kicks out.

Gabriel gets back to his feet and turns around but Despayre hurries over to his corner and tags Karina back into the match.

Simone: And the Bombshells are back in the ring.

Roxi and Karina charge in the ring, exchanging hard shots to each others face. Karina takes advantage cutting Roxi off with a knee. Karina grabs hold of Roxi's head and drop her with a swinging neckbreaker. Karina sits up and quickly gets to her feet, stomping on Roxi as she lays down. Karina pulls Roxi up by the head but as Roxi gets on her feet she pulls Karina's feet and sweeps the Romanian on to her back, sending her down with thump. Roxi lifts Karina's legs but Karina kicks her off before Roxi can step in for a sharpshooter. Karina gets to her feet but Roxi swings behind Karina and drops her down with a reverse DDT, Karina hitting the canvas hard!

Adams: Cheese and crackers, these two chicks are going at it!

Simone: Cheese and crackers?

Roxi picks Karina up and whips her in to the ropes. As Karina bounces back, she takes hold of Roxi's long hair and spins. Roxi grabs hold of Karina's head and both women simultaneous drive each others faces in to the floor!

Adams: Ouch!

Both women lay dazed on the floor and Roxi looks up towards Gabriel and starts to crawl. Gabriel reluctantly holds out his hands as Roxi gets closer. Karina puts her arm on Roxi's leg, holding on.

Simone: Will Roxi get to Gabriel?

Karina pulls on her leg but Roxi rolls to her back and plants a foot into Karina's chest and kicks her back. Roxi then makes the leap and tags Gabriel. He vaults into the ring just as a whining Despayre climbs back in. No sooner does he then Gabriel grabs his friend and Irish whips him into the ropes. Gabriel goes for a backdrop but Despayre spins around and uses the move to land on his feet behind Gabriel. Despayre runs into the ropes and catches Gabriel with a spinning high cross body!

1.....
2..... Gabriel kicks out!

Adams: Okay now this is more like it!

Despayre grabs Gabriel and Irish whips him into the corner and dashes in after him but Gabriel leapfrogs up and over him, bringing him down with a sunset flip.

1.....
2..... Despayre kicks out!

Simone: These two are really showing the fans that there can be a competitive wrestling match without ill feelings or the need for steel chairs.

Adams: Yeah but does that sell tickets?

Gabriel grabs Despayre by the arm and twists him into an arm wringer. Despayre reverses it, twisting Gabriel's arm and holding him at bay with a wristlock. Gabriel somersaults over, breaking the hold, then twists Despayre's arm once again. He ducks under Despayre and backdrops him over, then legdrops Despayre's arm, putting him into an overhead wristlock on the mat.

Adams: Will you look at Synn at ringside? I've never seen him this focused on a match.

Simone: I think he was the unhappiest out of everyone at this match. He doesn't want his family against each other like this.

Gabriel tries to keep Despayre down on the mat, but the smaller man uses his leverage to force his way back to his feet, still trapped in the overhead wristlock.

Simone: This isn't where Gabriel wants Despayre. That man knows him better than anyone -- save for Synn -- and knows he needs to keep him grounded.

Despayre then surprises Gabriel, ducking under and catching him in a hammerlock. Despayre then drops down and rolls Gabriel up in a reverse cradle.

1.....
2..... Gabriel kicks out!

As Gabriel gets to his feet, Despayre runs into the ropes. he comes off and Gabriel jumps and catches him with a Hurricanrana and hooks both legs!

1.....
2..... Despayre gets free!

Adams: That was close! I thought Gabriel had him there!

Despayre rolls backwards from the pin attempt and turns it into a Boston crab.

Simone: I have to give that little nutter credit! That was a nice reversal!

Before Despayre can utilize the hold, Gabriel uses his leg strength to flip Despayre over and Gabriel kneels on his shoulders for the pin!

1.....
2..... Despayre uses his own legs to sunset flip Gabriel backwards into a pin.

1.....
2..... Gabriel rolls backwards and holds onto Despayre's legs. Gabriel stands up and falls back, catapulting Despayre across the ring!

Adams: *sings* She was an acrobat's daughter! She swung by her teeth from a noose! Then one matinee', her bridge work gave way! And she flew through the air like a goose!

Gabriel hurries over and pulls Despayre to his feet. Gabriel Irish whips him into the ropes but Despayre ducks under his arm and runs into the far side ropes. Despayre comes off and catches Gabriel with a rolling bodyscissors!

1.....
2.....

Gabriel counters, rolling backwards and has Despayre tied up in a pin!

1.....
2.....
3!

The bell rings and the fans cheer!

Justin: Here are your winners, advancing to the finals at 'Blaze of Glory II, Gabriel and Roxi Johnson!

Adams: Gabriel and Roxi did it! They're going on to face Jordan Williams and Odette Ryder in the finals!

Jasmine raises Gabriel and Roxi's arms as Synn pats Gabriel on the back before going over to check on Despayre, as does Karina. Despayre just sits there, seemingly frozen.

Adams: Boy, look at Despayre. I think the kid's in shock.

Simone: He may very well be. Many might not know this, but that is the first time, the very first time, that Despayre has *ever* been pinned! After three long years as an active wrestler, it is Despayre's best friend and tag team partner that has ended his undefeated streak.

Gabriel and Roxi then go over to check on Despayre's condition and the little guy simply rolls out of the ring, looking thoroughly disappointed. He looks up at Gabriel and gives him a 'thumbs up' before scooping Angel into his arms from the corner as Synn joins him on the floor. Karina exits the ring as well and they leave, allowing Gabriel and Roxi to celebrate their win inside of the ring, basking in the fans' adulation.

Backstage at the refreshment table, Rage is seen with a cup of Gatorade in his hand. He takes a sip from it and then looks down the hallway. He sees someone standing there wearing an NXT hoodie, their face covered so he doesn’t get a good look at them. He tries to blow it off until the staring gets to be too much. He takes one last sip from the cup before crushing it in his hands. He tosses it behind him and takes a few steps toward the person before speaking.

Rage: Hey buddy, what the hell is your problem?

The person stands there, still as can be as Rage approaches them. Rage waits for a reply, but gets nothing so he speeds up his stride. He stands in front of the person, trying to figure out what they are doing.

Rage: Did I fucking stutter asshole? I said… What the hell is your problem?

From under the hood, the persons lips turns into an enormous smile. This causes Rage’s face to twist with sinister anger. He grabs onto the person’s shirt and begins shaking them furiously.

Rage Listen here you smug little shit, I’m not in the mood to play around with some fanboy with a backstage pass trying to psych me out. So why don’t you do us both a favor and say something before you take a trip to the hospital and I have to fund it!

Rage stops shaking the person, who still sits there with that same smile on their face. Rage lets out an angry growl and brings his fist back, ready to beat the ever loving mess out of him! Slowly, the hand reaches up and points behind Rage. After not noticing it for a moment, Rage starts to take the swing. At the last second he stops and turns around just in time to get smacked over the head with the SCW Heavyweight Championship belt! He stumbles back as three more men wearing NXT hoodies and face masks come at him. Two of them swing chairs at him violently, knocking him down to the ground. He sweeps the legs of one of them and quickly pulls the hood back in an attempt to remove the mask. The third one plants a chair to Rage’s ribs, giving the other one the opportunity to get to his feet. They drop the chairs and stomp away violently at Rage until he slowly stops moving. The one lays the Heavyweight belt over Rage’s waist while checking to make sure he is out. The four hoods storm off, leaving Rage on the cold, hard concrete.

Lima, Ohio...

Midnight.

The night has fallen over this once, thriving town. The stars are overhead, and the crescent shaped moon hangs high in the air. It is a clear twilight in the countryside, save for the mist of the eve's chill hanging in the air.

The old car is shown driving down Greely Chapel road, an old junker but kept in repair by pride of the young man who owns it, seated behind the wheel. The car slows down and pulls to a stop on an old bridge, surrounded on both sides by trees barren of life, and an old, dried up creek that runs beneath the bridge itself and disappears into the trees. The driver looks to the passenger.

Driver:: You ready?

Passenger: C'mon Tom, this is stupid. I thought we were going to get something to eat.

Driver:: It'll just take a minute. C'mon! What are you scared of?

Passenger: I'm not scared of anything!

Driver:: Then there's no problem.

The driver opens the driver's side door and climbs out, and his reluctant friend follows.

Passenger: Aren't you going to turn the car off?

The driver shakes his head.

Driver:: That's not how it works. C'mon. Do it with me.

Passenger: Jesus...

The passenger joins his friend's side and together, the two begin to walk around the car; once, twice, three times. They then walk over to the bridge's rail and they start to glance out into the murkiness of the dead woods.

Passenger: So... we're waiting for what, exactly?

Driver:: The legend says if we wait now, we'll hear and see the baby.

Passenger: hanging from a tree.

Driver:: Yeah?

Passenger: That's fucking sick, man.

Driver:: Chill out. It's just a...

The passenger looks at his friend and frowns. His friend holds up a hand to stall any questioning.

Driver:: You hear that?

Passenger: The only thing I hear is my teeth chattering. It's cold out here!

Driver:: No! Listen!

The Passenger huffs and mockingly leans over to listen, then frowns. He blinks as it sounds as if it is the faint cry of a child, a baby, somewhere from within the barren trees. The passenger shakes his head when the driver taps him hurriedly on his shoulder.

Driver:: Jess, look! Jesus, look!

Passenger: What!?

They both lean over the railing and there, about thirty yards into the woods, they see a bassinet hanging from one of the dead limbs, and worse still, they see a tiny, withered hand dangling from it. Both young men pale.

Passenger: Jesus! Dude! we need to call the fucking cops!

Driver:: No, wait.

Passenger: We need to get out of here!

Driver:: I said wait a minute!

Passenger: Hey! Where...!?

Driver:: I want to get a closer look! It'll just take a second!

Passenger: Tom...!

But his words fall on deaf ears as his friend rushes around the edge of the bridge's railing and he starts to carefully meander down the steep embankment of the bridge's creek and to the dry bottom. The passenger curses beneath his breath but does not move to follow. He watches as the driver moves down the dry creek bed and closer toward the tree in particular where they saw the bassinet.

The driver huffs, stumbling on a root buried in the dried dirt. He finally arrives at the tree he believes to be the right one and looks up in concern, but there is nothing in the dead limbs to be seen. He frowns when without warning, the headlights from the car back on the bridge go out, leaving him in complete darkness.

Driver: Shit! Hey Jess...!

The driver turns around when the car's headlights briefly wink on, but it is not Jess standing on the bridge, but another lone figure, bathed in darkness save for long, white hair and foreboding, golden eyes. The driver swallows hard.

Driver: ... Jess?

The car lights go out once again. The driver hears a twig snap behind him and figures it to be his friend. he turns around -- and finds himself staring into a pair of deep, golden eyes.

The car's headlights flicker back on.

They say if you walk around a car on crybaby bridge at the twilight hour, you'll hear the cries of two young men, and possibly see them hanging from the branches of the dead trees within.

The camera angles in for a close up shot of the SCW's six-sided ring where Justin Decent stands in the center and head referee, Jasmine St. John, stands in a near corner with her arms folded over her chest.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Main Event of Climax Control, and it is scheduled for one fall!

The opening chords to Breaking Benjamin's "I Will Not Bow" start to blast through the speakers, as red and dark blue lights start to flash, the blue cutting through the red to create a purple effect. The fans boo as the lyrics kick in.

"Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't want to change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere"

Casey Williams appears at the top of the ramp, looking around at the crowd and not moving, his eyes burning holes through the crowd.

Justin: Introducing first! From Nashua, New Hampshire, weighing 370 pounds ... Casey Williams!

"All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away"

Casey lets out a roar, his arms out wide before he looks around the crowd, focused. The Freight Train Of Pain starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head to look at the booing crowd, their thumbs pointing down. Casey shakes his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Casey puts his hand on the rope, and pulls himself up on to the ring apron and steps over the top rope, staring around at the booing fans. Casey raises his arms as the fans boo louder.

Simone: I don't think the SCW brass could have found a more dangerous test for Billy James than this man right here, the giant of Sin City Wrestling, Casey Williams.

Adams: Do you think Mark had anything to do with this one?

Simone: Does a gay bear have anonymous sex in the woods?

Adams: ...... Does it?

Justin: And his opponent! Accompanied to the ring by Kristen, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 246 pounds ... "Beautiful" Billy James!

"Pour Some Sugar on Me" begins to blast throughout the arena, drawing an explosion of cheers from the crowd. A moment later, "Beautiful" Billy James bursts out through the curtain, causing the cheers to identify. A moment later, following right behind Billy, is his wife Kristen. Billy walks across the stage, stopping at the top of the ramp before he drops down to one knee. Billy then lifts his arms, flexing as Kristen comes up behind him and starts to rub his chest. After a few seconds, Billy then pops back up to his feet and takes Kristen by the hand as the two then make their way down the ramp. The two hit the bottom of the ramp, at which point Kristen walks to the side of the ring, staying down at ringside, as Billy leaps up onto the ring apron. Billy then leaps over the top rope and then jumps right up onto the turnbuckle, raising his arms in the air and drawing even more cheers. Billy then hops down and waits in his corner.

Simone: Billy James made his return to the ranks of professional wrestling after many long years with a shocking win over Nick Jones, a man who dominated the SCW ring wars for the better part of a year!

Adams: I hope the boss man is watching!

Jasmine brings both men to the center of the ring for their instructions. Billy offers a handshake and Casey grasps his hand -- and doubles him over with a boot to the midsection! Jasmine quickly signals for the bell!

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!

Simone: I do *not* believe Billy just tried to shake Casey Williams's hand! Has he not been paying attention to the past few weeks here!?

Casey grabs Billy by the back of the head and arm and Irish whips him hard into the near corner. Billy strikes the turnbuckles hard and staggers out and Casey barrels right into him with a powerful running clothesline.

Simone: Not off to the best start here for Mister James.

Casey grabs him by the hair and drags him up with one hand. Casey runs Billy into the ropes throat-first and jerks back, flinging the "Beautiful One" back harshly to the canvas. Billy will not stay down, however, and he slams his fists into the mat and starts to get up, but Casey grabs hold of him and easily military presses him high over his head!

Adams: Hey careful with that! Billy might get a nose bleed from that altitude!

Casey holds Billy up in the air, shouting out at the crowd, before just dropping him face-first to the canvas! Billy is stunned and he struggles to rise to his hands and knees, when Casey rebounds off of the ropes and drops a leg across the back of his head.

Backstage, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward is seen watching the monitor with a smile on his face, nodding in satisfaction.

Simone: I suppose that answers your question. Mark isn't passing this opportunity up to watch a little carnage.

Casey dumps Billy over onto his back and covers him, lazily hooking a leg.

1.....
2..... Billy kicks out.

Casey stands up, peeling Billy off of the canvas with him along the way. Casey sends him into the far corner, and charges right in after him! Casey goes for a big boot but Billy ducks down and Casey hands himself up on the top rope! The crowd cheers as Billy rolls under the bottom rope and stands on the apron. He grabs hold of Casey's prone leg and hits a dragon screw from on the apron, dropping to the ringside floor!

Simone: Damn! A move like that could easily have dislocated Casey's knee!

Adams: Not to mention it could have done some real damage!

Simone: ....

Casey howls in a raged pain, grabbing his bum leg and he pulls himself the rest of the way into the ring, limping. Billy reaches from outside of the ring and grabs Casey's leg and trips him to the mat. Billy then pulls his leg over to the apron and swings Casey's tree trunk down over the ringside.

Simone: Billy James is really going to town now on the giant! He wants to render Casey's huge size advantage abortive!

Adams: And useless, too!

Jasmine leans through the ropes and is yelling at Billy to get back inside of the ring. Billy grabs Casey's leg again, but this time Casey uses his good leg to kick Billy off, propelling him hard against the barriers separating the fans from the action! Billy crumbles to the ringside floor as a growling Casey uses the ropes to pull himself back to a vertical base while Jasmine begins to issue her mandatory count.

1...
2...
3...
4...
5...

Billy is back up fast and he climbs up onto the ring apron. Casey grabs him and beel throws him over the top rope and back inside of the ring!

Adams: God is there *anything* Billy James can do to get a foothold in this match?

James sits up, clutching his back and grimacing as Kristen calls into the ring, urging her husband on. Casey grabs him and jerks him up to his feet, taking him literally entirely off the canvas. Casey whips him hard into the ropes and swings but Billy ducks, and as Casey turns around and right into a superkick!...

Adams: Sexy Shot!

Simone: But the big man isn't going down!

Indeed as Casey is staggering back on his feet, his eyes glazed over from the powerful strike! Billy runs into the ropes and jumps onto the middle rope, then catapults backward into a spinning heel kick and still Casey does not go down! Casey stumbles back, teetering...! Billy springs to the top of the nearest turnbuckle and launches himself off with a missile dropkick to Casey ...!

Adams: TIMBERRRR!

Simone: Its been ages since we've seen the Charismatic Kick!

And Casey goes crashing to the canvas! Billy jumps atop of him and hooks his huge leg!

1.....
2..... Casey gets the shoulder up!

The camera returns to the backstage area and Mark's fist is clenched against his pursed lips as he glares at the monitor, watching the action!

Billy drives a forearm down hard into Casey's exposed head but Casey uses his power to shove James away from him! Billy gets right back up and dashes over, throwing two more stiff forearms into Casey's head when Casey throws him off again. Casey manages to get back to his feet when Billy grabs him by the arm. Billy goes for an Irish whip into the ropes but Casey hangs on and counters, sending Billy into the ropes instead. Billy comes off and leaps for a high cross body -- but Casey catches him!

Adams: Uhhhh ohhhh!

And Casey simply falls forward, crushing Billy to the mat with a world's strongest slam!

Simone: There was no way Casey was going to go down from that! The size is just too much!

Adams: That's what she said!

Simone: Oh shut up!

Casey drags Billy up and hurls him back against the corner. Casey comes up and lands a vicious open handed chop across James's pecs that echoes like a gunshot in the building!

Adams: Did you hear *that*!?

Billy's face is a mask of stinging pain as he clutches his chest! Casey grabs him by the face and pulls him back up and the giant just starts waylaying into his head and body with lefts and rights! Billy is trying to shield himself from the onslaught but Casey is a man possessed!

Simone: He is risking it if he doesn't let up!

Casey brings him from out of the corner and around the waist...

Adams: Gut wrench suplex!

Casey throws him over with the powerful maneuver! He then covers him, neglecting to hook the leg!

1.....
2..... Casey pulls him up!

The crowd boos as Casey bellows out at them to "shut up"!

Adams: Oh that was a big mistake!

Simone: Very big! It is never a smart idea to pull someone up when you might have gotten the three count!

Casey drags Billy up and grabs him by both sides of his head and delivers a wicked headbutt right between the eyes! Billy goes down like he was shot! Casey is wasting no time however as he pulls Billy right back up and whips the dazed grappler into the corner! Casey gets a head of steam built up and barrels into the corner, jumping for an avalanche splash, but Billy moves at the last split second and Casey crashes with his gut meeting unforgiving steel! Casey staggers back, bent over and holding his stomach in pain! Billy shakes the cobwebs and comes dashing off the ropes and hits the Fame-Asser!

Adams: The Beauty Buster! He nailed it!

Simon: But can he take advantage!? Casey put a hurting on Billy James! He needs the cover!

Billy crawls over to Casey and forces him over onto his back and hooks the leg!

1.....
2.....
3!

The crowd explodes in a riot of cheers as the bell rings and Jasmine raises Billy's arm!

Justin: Here is your winner ... Beautiful Billy James!

The fans are cheering as Kristen enters the ring and embraces Billy, helping him to his feet! She hugs her husband around the neck and kisses his cheek when the fans start to boo.

Adams: Uh oh! Hot Stuff in the house!

"Hot Stuff" Mark Ward arrives at ringside and he starts shouting at Billy from the ringside area! Billy ushers Kristen aside and then Billy begins to answer back, shouting out at Mark!

Adams: Oo! Will you listen to that!

Simone: Those two are slinging the dirt more than a Tea Party candidate at a GLAAD convention!

Billy sits on the middle rope and holds the top rope up, beckoning -- daring -- Hot Stuff to get into the ring! Hot Stuff backs up, much to the consternation of the fans, pointing at his nemesis and swearing colorfully at him! Billy yells out at him and steps back from the ropes when Kristen screams! Billy spins around and Casey Williams, back on his feet, delivers a big boot right to Billy James's face!

Simone: No! Oh god dammit!

The bell starts ringing as Casey grabs Billy by the throat and hauls him into the air...

Adams: Choke slam! He just choke slammed Billy James!

Mark is all smiles now, laughing merrily as Casey flings Billy into the corner on his backside and he drives his knee into James's throat, choking the life out of him as the bell continues to ring and Mark is almost in the ring, calling out to Billy and taunting him!

Simone: I don't think Mark has any intention of allowing Billy James to even make it to Blaze of Glory II!

Jasmine is yelling at Casey to end this as the bell continues to ring but Casey will not end his assault, pressing his knee harder against Billy's throat while Mark shouts in, insulting him and laughing at his expense! Suddenly the crowd starts cheering!

Simone: It's Derek Thorne!

Derek Thorne races down the aisle with a steel chair in hand! He blows right past a surprised Mark ward and slides inside of the ring! Casey stops his assault on Billy and stands up to meet this new challenge! Casey turns around and Derek brings the chair crashing down over the big man's skull! Casey staggers back and around and Derek swings the chair into Casey's wide back and the giant tumbles through the ropes and down to the floor as security rushes out from the back!

Simone: Doesn't it just figure!? Calvary and all!

The security team gets in between the ring a now enraged Casey Williams as he bellows into the ring as Derek holds the chair up and beckons him to come on! Mark backs up the aisle, shaking his head with a smirk as the paramedics are busy, checking on Billy James in the ring as he strains to pull himself to his feet, holding his throat.

Simone: Billy James is up. he won the match, defeating that monster, but at what cost?

Adams: Ask Mark! This had to be all his idea!

Simone: Casey Williams doesn't need a reason to annihilate someone inside of that ring, but flash a little wad of cash in his face? That's just icing on the cake.

Casey is being forced to the back by the security while Derek checks on Billy is now standing and looking rather pissed off himself.
