The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Coussoulis Arena in San Bernadino, California. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.
A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.
He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;
"SCW!"
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around at all of the fans filling the seats around the arena. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
"Don't Kill Connor, er, Daryl!"
"I'm Ben Jordan's Gay Stalker!"
"#NoShowsSuckDonkeyBalls"
"I Wish I Were Joey Harris's Thong!"
"I'll Make Kate Steele Scream Like A Banshee!"
"SCW!"
"SCW!"
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Coussoulis Arena in San Bernadino, California and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers as Amanda struts out in a black lace halter top, mini skirt bottom and high heels with heavy makeup and a bee hive wig ala Marge Simpson. Amanda has her microphone up and the song begins.
Amanda: I didn't realize how dead this club would be
I live for truth and beauty but there's room for change
You claim you stole my heart
I swear that I have
Is beauty just skin deep?
And now I finally
F-U-fugly-G-L-fugly-Y
I don't make frequent trips out here to BFE
But you found my weakness:
Drinks for free
I hope nobody sees you leave this place with me
It's shameless but it's true
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
I'm faithful to myself but I could use some strange
And strange is precisely
The term for you
You'll be a two at ten but you're a ten at two
Congratulations, dude
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
There's a crime but it isn't theft
I guess tonight you're Mr. Right
'Cause everyone else has Left
Never been a sellout for an easy score
Unless you count last weekend or the week before
I don't want beer goggles
Those still see
Instead I need a full tequilabotomy
And you should get one too
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
Well, your skin destroys that myth
How much Patron makes me think you're hot?
I'll have to plead the fifth
Understand why hookups all occur at night
It's easier to find a place devoid of light
Don't take it personal
When I ask
Would you please put on this Freddy Krueger mask?
It helps improve my view
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
F-U-fugly-G-fugly oh my
F-U-fugly-G-L-fugly-Y
F-U-fugly-G-fugly oh my
The song comes to an end and Amanda 'curtsies' and blows kisses to the cheering crowd before she heads backstage and vanishes behind the curtains.
Simone: Hello everyone, and welcome to Sin City Wrestling Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone...
Adams: And I'm still trying to decide if I want to watch the Academy Awards tonight... I mean, I'm Jason Adams!
Simone: Who will be watching the Oscars whether he wants us to know it or not. But before then, we have an exciting night of wrestling action for you, including the first four matches in the opening round of the fourth annual Blast From the Past Memorial tournament!
Adams: Breathe, Bel! Breathe! We have three newcomers debuting in a triple threat this week and we're going to need those HUGE vocal cords of yours!
Simone: Somehow I don't know if I should be insulted or not, but you are right. James Tuscini, Matt Spears and Chris Burden have all signed contracts and the bosses have put them against each other to see which will rise to the occasion.
Adams: And we'll also have another non tourney match when Celeste North wrestles Jenny Tuck! Bombshells matches are my favorites! Nowhere else do women wrestlers get treated with the same equal billing as the men than in SCW!
Simone: You wouldn't know it by the way they've been bitching and moaning these past number of weeks. But Jenny and Celeste could go the distance tonight and steal the show. Then we also have on hand the first four matches in the opening round!
Adams: Blast From the Past is my favorite event! Can you believe some of these pairings? Twisted Sister and Joshua Acquin against Casey Williams and Roxi Johnson!
Simone: Which will be a rematch of sorts between Roxi and that lunatic! Let's just hope security has checked under the ring this time for chainsaws! We are also welcoming back Derek Thorne who is teaming with the brand new Internet Champion Mercedes Vargas, taking on Melanie Gabrielle and Connor Murphy!
Adams: Joey Harris is here in SCW and you know what that means?
Simone: Christian is drooling over his thong pics?
Adams: Yes... I mean NO! Well probably, but he's teaming with Candy Overton against CJ Sharpe and "the Siren" Kate Steele!
Simone: Then the main event of the evening, and the final tournament match of the night! The new Roulette Champion, Steve Ramone, teaming with former Internet Champion Alexis Edwards? Their opposition?
Adams: One-half of the World Tag Champions, Ben Jordan, and Raynin!
Simone: All of this and so much more tonight, so let's get things started!
"Ooooh... yeah, yeah... oh". The opening repeative line to Kanye West's "Power" starts to blast through the speakers as blue lights but through the now faded darkness in the arena. The image of a closed fist is seen on the screen before the letters 'J2H' appear on the screen
Justin: Being accompanied to the ring by Austin Parker and Simpson, please welcome your new SCW World Champion, J2H!
J2H and Austin Parker appear at the top of the ramp to a chorus of boos from the live crowd. The two nod to each other and start walking towards the ring. Austin is wearing faded blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots and hat, as he walks slightly in front of the suit cladded J2H, standing next to Simpson. Around his waist sits the SCW World championship title belt. J2H and Parker reach the ring with Simpson just behind and J2H quickly climbs the steps and moves through the ropes and Austin and Simpson follow. J2H moves towards the middle of the ring, both arms in the air, lifting the title above his head, before walking to the ropes and pulling himself on the middle rope in the center of the ring and raising the championship belt again. He turns to Justin Decent, who quickly hands him a mic. The music fades as J2H looks around at the crowd.
J2H: I bet all those years ago, when I made my SCW debut, the last thing you'd thought you'd see at anytime in the future that I would be standing here with this thing as my very own.
His sombre tones end as he points down to the SCW World Championship belt around his waist.
J2H: No one thought I would have the opening spot, no one thought I would stand before you with the biggest championship this company has to offer. No one in this crowd thought I could do it, no one on the active roster thought I could do it, but here I am and right here is the one thing that everyone that rolls through the doors of SCW wants to have.
He lowers the microphone for a second, looking at Austin to his right and then to Simpson on his left, sighing deeply before raising the microphone up again.
J2H: For years, I've dreamed of this moment. I always wanted this title. From the second I saw SCW on television, and saw Gabriel win this title for the first time, I wanted to be someone who could feel what he did, beating a whole company of men just to hold it and at My Bloody Valentine II, I repeated what he did by beating a whole company of men, just to be standing here with the championship right now and yet, all week, I've been talking about meeting with the boss to get out of my contract to just go and be a normal guy.
He looks around the crowd and reaches behind him. He unbuckles the championship belt with his left hand and pulls it over his right shoulder. He keeps his head turned, his eyes on the title as he continues.
J2H: Look what I did just to get this thing. My Bloody Valentine II, I beat Eric Steel so bad, that the coward ripped up his contract and run away from SCW as fast as his legs could carry him. I had to sit there and be mocked by the boss when I tried to get out of my contract. I walked back in to the dressing room to find something from her, which threw me off my game and then I had to walk out and defeat all those people for this.
J2H takes the belt from his shoulder and lays it on the canvas in front of him, before standing up and pointing at the title.
J2H: For the thing I didn't want, I had to take out person after person, I even threw Despayre flying over the top rope, breaking the hearts of thousands and then I stood face to face with Goth and I beat him! I beat the fucking Internet Champion, the second best champion in SCW, and I beat him for that!
He points his finger at the title more rapidly
J2H: I did all that and I stand here wanting to give that thing up. Fuck, I'm surprised one of the little people who will never ever win that hasn't already came down here, picked it up and claimed it as their own by now. The title is right there, so I guess there's one thing left to say.
He shrugs his shoulders before looking up with a smile.
J2H: Do you really think I'd walk out on being the SCW World Champion, when I worked so damn hard to get it? Fuck off!
The crowd instantly boo as J2H reaches down and picks up the title belt, throwing it over his shoulder and pointing his free hand around the crowd.
J2H: I played each and every one of you stupid people for the last three weeks! How stupid do you have to be to think I would give this up? People walked out of SCW crying because they don't have the belt that is now mine. People thought about joining them in retirement or on the unemployment line, because they knew once I had this belt, they will never get to see it in there possession again. They rather leave than come to work every day knowing they could never have this. Do you want to know why I played you all for three fucking weeks?
The arrogant looks returns to J2H's face as he tilts his head, listening to the boos.
J2H: Everyone was playing their little games through the week. People who you didn't expect to be in the tournament was playing games by holding off as long as they could before announcing they were entering. They were trying to give themselves the best chance of winning, so I had to even up the odds. I had to come up with a way to play games back and I got the belt over my shoulder so clearly, my games was better than yours.
He rubs the front of the title belt.
J2H: Who expects the kid that doesn't want the belt to actually make an effort. I made you all think I didn't want it, the whole locker room didn't see me as a threat and that is where I wanted you all. A wise man told me to use every advantage I could to get what I wanted and I listened.
J2H points to a nodding Austin.
J2H: He told me to do exactly what they were doing and throw out a curve ball of my own and you all bought it. The fans, the roster, you all bought it. I even made it clear I was meeting Hot Stuff Mark Ward to talk about my contract on Monday and I did. I made sure people saw me, just so I could laugh at you all today, knowing I played you, knowing you've been speculating about the title being vacant again, getting little idiots like Travis Nathaniel Andrews all excited on Twitter that he may get a chance at being a champion without me around, just so I could throw it in your faces. Wanna know why?
More boos come from the crowd, but J2H continues anyway.
J2H: Because only 4 people had faith in me winning this belt. Austin Parker, Simpson, that woman that is full of sunshine that I'm pretty sure stalks me, and me. Four people proved right, the rest of you on the losing side. Putting you all on the losing side, now makes me wanna put more people on the losing side. I don't give a fuck on who wants my belt, go write your name down give it to Christian Underwood, or Mark Ward and I will gladly take away your dream of being a World champion here. I don't give a damn if you're some of the fools making noise on Twitter about deserving a shot, because they think I'm a soft touch. I don't care if you've had a win streak and think you deserve it, as long as you're not one of the pointless people returning for the equally pointless Blast From The Past tournament, because let's face it, being in that is like going on American Idol, because you wasn't good enough to get a record deal on ya own, I don't wanna deal with those one trick ponies, but anyone that's actually wrestled a match here in the last two months, come at me, cause I will prove things you never thought possible.
J2H points to his belt.
J2H: I didn't win this with the help of three people, I didn't win this through luck. I won it because I am the best SCW has. Whatever else you see tonight, doesn't matter if it's Steve Ramone's dog and pony show we all expect him to put on cause he has a belt, or a humble sounding Samantha Marlowe, or any of the other newly crowded champions have to say, none of it matters. You're looking at the most important champion SCW has ever seen and if I have to beat the roster one by one again to prove it, so be it.
J2H points to Austin and then to Simpson.
J2H: These guys believed in J2H, you will too. That's real talk bitches!
"Power" starts to blast through the speakers as J2H starts to leave the ring.
Simone: I hate to say it, but I think SCW just kicked up a notch.
The camera cuts to the top of the ramp where J2H holds the championship in the air, before disappearing behind the curtain
Casey Williams is shown backstage, leaning against the wall outside his locker room, and he wants to call out his male opponent Joshua Acquin.
Casey: Joshua, you may be confident against me, but know this, I will get the better of you and it will be Roxi and I advancing in this tournament, not you. I am more hungry to win, and need the win more than you, and the fact I am paired with one of the best Bombshells SCW has ever had.
Casey grins, and focuses on Twisted Sister.
Casey: Twisted Sister, I would be very afraid if I were you. I mean, you got suspended for 3 months because of your temper and the fact you could have killed my partner Roxi, who will be getting her revenge upon you.
Casey cackles when he ponders the pain Roxi will inflict upon Twisted Sister. Casey wants to call out Roxi and thank her.
Casey: Roxi, I wanted to thank you for being a good person, and for being there for me when I needed someone to talk to about my marital issues, and someone who could sympathize with me. I also wanted to thank you for making me feel like a member of Team Hero, even though I am not a true member, and I hope we can remain friends when this tournament is over..
Casey wants to call out James Tuscini for his actions backstage when the duo met.
Casey: James, I am calling your pathetic Jersey Shore wannabe ass out. Admit it, you love Snooki, and knowing that you reside in California, you must love Nancy Pelosi as the Representative from your state too. I am issuing a challenge to face you once this Blast From The Past tournament is over.
Casey walks away, looking intense and confident in himself as the scene fades to black.
Justin Decent: The following is our opening contest of the evening and is the first round of the Blast From The Past tournament.
The rock band Twisted Sister's anthem of "Burn In Hell" blares across the building and the crowd boos as Twisted Sister is escorted through the stage curtains by professional security, her arms bound around her in a secured straight jacket.
Justin Decent: Introducing first from Los Angeles, California, please welcome Twisted Sister
She screams wildly, thrashing and kicking her legs as the guards have to practically have to carry her to the ring. At ringside, they carefully unfasten her straight jacket and she quickly climbs into the ring and dashes around, screaming like a lunatic.
Simone: Oh man, who let this sick freak out of the asylum?
Adams: now that isn't nice.
Simone: I just hope no power tools or chainsaws are under the ring.
Adams: I have a good source that told me there is nothing under the ring.
"Nightmare" hits the PA as Joshua walks out from the back with boos from the crowd.
Justin Decent: Introducing her tag team partner, from Las Vegas, Nevada, please welcome Joshua Acquin
As he walks slowly to the ring he avoids all contact from fans. Once in the ring he goes up to the middle rope of the turnbuckle, drawing boos from the crowd as he holds up his arms.
Simone: This is going to be interesting tag team.
Adams: You can say that again.
The opening lyrics and guitar rift to Five Finger Death Punch's "Jekyll and Hyde" 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 cheer as the chorus kicks in.
Justin Decent: and introducing their opponents, first from Nashua, New Hampshire, please welcome Casey Williams
Casey Williams appears at the top of the ramp, looking around at the crowd and not moving, his eyes looking through the crowd. 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 cheering crowd, their thumbs pointing down. Casey nods 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 cheer louder.
Simone: He is the tallest man in this match but will that be enough.
Before Jason could respond, "Help is on the Way" 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.
Justin Decent: and his tag team partner, she is one half of the SCW Bombshell Tag Team Champions, she is the "superhero" Roxi Johnson
She stares ahead at the ring and begins a slow walk towards it. She pauses from time to time looking around the arena. After a moment, she steps on the apron, and enters the ring through the ropes. Once inside, she runs to the nearest corner, jumps on it, and raises her arms to the cheers of the audience.
Simone: The roof nearly blew off when Roxi walked out.
Adams: You would think we were at a rock concert.
Twisted Sister finally locks eyes onto Roxi as she begins to snarl. Joshua orders her to get out of the ring as he prepares for the match. Twisted Sister goes to leave but decides to sprint towards the other corner. She leaps off her feet and splashes both members in the corner. A look of shock appears on Joshua's face as the crowd goes silent. Drew Patton is trying to get Twisted Sister back as she drags Roxi out of the corner by her hair. Before Drew could say one word, she tosses Roxi halfway across the ring as the crowd lets out a collective gasp.
Simone: Holy shit, Twisted Sister just snapped.
Adams: Are you surprised by this?
DING DING DING!
Drew quickly signals for the bell as Twisted Sister doesn't let up on the onslaught. She walks over, picks Roxi up by her hair again before slamming the back of her head down onto the canvas. Joshua seems to be pleased with Twisted Sister's actions as he stands on the apron. Casey is starting to show concern on his face as he urges Roxi to fight back. As Roxi is lying on her back, Twisted Sister grabs a hold of both hands while standing on her hair. She proceeds to lift Roxi up while pulling her hair. Drew is screaming at Twisted Sister as she growls at him. Roxi screams out as Twisted Sister continues to punish her.
Simone: Do something Drew
Adams: He is trying but Twisted Sister has gone mental.
Twisted Sister lets go Roxi's arms as she jumps into the air looking to drop a leg across Roxi's throat. Roxi rolls out of the way at the last split second. Twisted Sister lands right on her leg as Roxi gets back up to her feet. She is holding her neck while leaning against the ropes. She notices Twisted Sister in a perfect position as she connects with a basement dropkick. Roxi rolls back up onto her feet as she springs off the ropes and connects with a corkscrew elbow drop. She quickly goes for the pin attempt.

Twisted Sister powers out by throwing Roxi towards Joshua. Sister gets back up to her feet as Roxi is slow to get up. Twisted Sister comes running in like a freight train as Roxi once again gets out of the way. Twisted Sister smacks chest first into the turnbuckles as Roxi moves closer to her own corner.
Simone: Roxi needs to get out of there.
Adams: Twisted Sister is a maniac.
Joshua takes the moment to tag himself in which nearly angers Twisted Sister. He gets into the ring while ordering her out of it. She snarls at him as he lets Roxi tag Casey into the match. Casey steps over the top ring rope into the ring as Joshua rushes at him. He starts clobbering Casey with multiple forearms but neither seem to have much effect. Casey knife edge chops Joshua across the chest as he stumbles back while holding his chest. Casey is firmly in the ring as he levels Joshua with a massive clothesline. He follows it up with another clothesline before picking Joshua up in a Gorilla Press. Casey begins pressing him above his head before dropping him across his shoulder. Casey is looking for a running powerslam but Joshua slips down the back.
Casey goes to turn around as Joshua catches him flush with a picture perfect dropkick. Both boots meet him square on the jaw as it rocks the big man. Casey begins to stumble as Joshua hits another dropkick. The kick does some more damage as Casey drops to one knee.as Joshua bounces off the ropes. He comes running toward Casey but gets swatted down like a fly. He lifts Joshua up while trying to shake off the effects. The crowd has finally picked up as Casey notices Roxi bouncing up and down.
Simone: What are those two doing?
Adams: I have no idea.
Casey picks Joshua up in a sidewalk slam position as Roxi springs off the ropes and lands a leg drop across his throat. Casey follows through by slamming Joshua back first into the canvas. Roxi holds up her arms as the crowd is going nuts. Roxi is about to exit the ring as Twisted Sister comes running into the ring and knocks Roxi off the apron. Roxi falls hard on the outside as Twisted Sister hisses at Casey before rolling out of the ring.
Casey shakes his head while turning his attention to Joshuaua. Roxi finally strikes back with a wicked forearm to the side of Twisted Sister's face. The crowd goes crazy from that attack as Roxi fires more shots into the head of Twisted Sister. They don't seem to phase Twisted Sister as she grabs Roxi by the head and slams her face first into the side of the ring. Meanwhile inside the ring, Casey is stalking Joshua who has finally got to up to his feet. As Joshua turns around, Casey kicks him in the midsection. Meanwhile Twisted Sister decides to look under the ring for something.
Simone: I thought the ring crew made sure nothing was under there.
Adams: Maybe the forgot a section.
The sound of a drill turning echoes as Twisted Sister pokes her head back out with a power drill in her hand. The crowd gasps as Casey lifts Joshua up and plants him in the middle of the ring.
Simone: Casey strikes with Broken Soul.
Adams: Who cares about that? Where in the hell did Twisted Sister get the power drill?
Casey uses his tree like legs to pin Joshua's arms to the canvas as Drew slides into position.

3!
Drew signals for the bell as Casey is excited about moving on to the next round.
Justin Decent: Here are your winners, Casey Williams and Roxi Johnson
Twisted Sister seems mesmerized by the power drill. The crowd hasn't said a word as she turns to look at Roxi's head. Casey is standing the ring looking on as the crowd begins to stir.
Simone: I don't like the look on Twisted Sister's face.
Adams: Casey can't do anything but watch.
Twisted Sister starts to walk toward Roxi as the power drill is running. The crowd is still stirring as Casey stands in horror. Twisted Sister sticks one hand out and begins to stroke Roxi's face.
Simone: I don't like this
Roxi is whimpering as Twisted Sister lifts the power drill up in the air. The crowd gets louder as the cameras cut to show Zuri Chastain standing on the barricade. Her eyes are fixated on Twisted Sister.
Adams: Oh my GOD! It's Zuri Chastain.
Simone: Never thought I would be happy to see her.
Twisted Sister pulls the drill away from Roxi's head while grabbing a handful of her hair. She begins to scream as Zuri hops off the barricade and stands on the arena floor right in front of Twisted Sister. The crowd and Casey seem confused as Twisted Sister goes to bring the power drill back up. Right as she brings it level to Roxi's head, Zuri strikes with a wicked kick to the head of Twisted Sister. The force of the kick knocks her back as Zuri walks closer to her. Twisted Sister's manager pulls her away as Zuri stands between Roxi and Twisted Sister.
Simone: Did Zuri just come to Roxi's rescue?
Adams: What in the hell did we just witness?
Simone: No matter what, Roxi and Casey have advance into the next round.
"Case of the Ex" begins to play as Zuri continues to stoically stare at Twisted Sister as the cameras slowly fade out.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of The Fearless Champion Steve Ramone"
"I want what's coming to me."
"So what's coming to you?"
"The world chico, and everything in it"
Simone: Steve is not wasting any time joining us tonight, we've barely got started!
Adams: He did win a title at the last show so it's hard to blame him.
Following the quote "I Want The World And Everything In It" by Battle Beast begins to play over the PA System as Steve comes out from the back air guitaring on the championship belt whilst doing his best Malcolm Young impression, Cyrus and Andreas join him on stage as he reaches the middle of the ramp and holds the title high before making his way down to the ring singing along to the song as he does, once he reaches the ringside area he slides the belt into the ring before rolling in and picking it back up and holding it high whilst his bodyguards join him, Steve asks for the microphone from Justin and he hands the mic to him before Justin leaves the ring and Steve puts the mic to his lips.
Steve: For those of you who have been living under a rock since the new year started, well for starters more celebrities died then I care to count but what's more important than that is that I'm still here! But aside from that, two weeks ago at My Bloody Valentine II I finally shut up the haters, well the ones who aren't teaming up with me in the Blast from the Past Tournament, and won the SCW Roulette Championship!
Steve exclaims before hoisting the Roulette Title over his shoulder and his bodyguards applaud him.
Steve: I mean yeah, I wasn't the only new champion crowned at My Bloody Valentine II, some punk rock chick won the SCW Bombshell Roulette Title, a pair of British Twats finally dethroned the Nobodies, some spoiled brat is holding the World Title and my old friend Goth dethroned the reigning Internet Champion Sean Jackson but aside from that last one I'm the only one that really matters!
Simone: Off course he'd say that.
Adams: Funny how he only mentioned Goth and Sean Jackson by name just now.
Steve: Granted, it wasn't a total success, if it was then I'd also be holding the World Title and I'd have a tag team partner who had talents outside the bedroom for the Blast from the Past Tournament but that's not important! Tonight, to use an old clich?, in this very ring Team PMS and Steve will have our first win in the tournament before we go all the way but until then this won't be the last you see of me.
Simone: Well, obviously.
Steve: You see, tonight is Steve Ramone Appreciation Night!
Adams: Wait, what?!
Simone: I know he mentioned that a few times on Twitter but I didn't think he'd go through with it!
Steve: Yes, unfortunately the bosses did forget to include this part but I'm here to announce it anyway, backstage I will be holding a party to celebrate my win throughout the night and all my friends in SCW are invited but don't feel too intimidated, I have invited some celebrities as well and Gordon Ramsey will be providing the catering...
Steve trails off as Cyrus whispers in his ear.
Steve: Okay we couldn't get Chef Ramsey but we got the next best thing, I haven't been told who that is but I'll take their word for it, see you backstage!
"I Want The World and Everything In It" starts to play again as the trio leave the ring whilst leaving the microphone in the ring for Justin to pick up.
Simone: Well, we all predicted that his ego would go through the roof when he won the title and he didn't waste any time confirming it.
Adams: Do you think the bosses will let me attend?
As the crowd is beginning to file into the Coussoulis Arena, a black limousine pulls out front as the crowd is screaming at the top of their lungs. The engine continues to run as the driver gets out and walks around toward the back of the limousine. The crowd is expecting some major celebrity as the door opens. A well toned leg steps out first as Shawna Jennings is the first one out of the limo.
Simone: Who just arrived in a limousine?
Adams: I bet it was Diddy. The guy knows how to arrive in style.
The crowd slowly begins to turn as Travis Nathaniel Andrews finally pops out of the limousine. His trademark smirk is strategically on his face as he looks at the roaring crowd. He holds out his arms while accepting imaginary cheers when they are really jeering him.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: Oh stop it, you all will have to wait for my next meet and greet to get near me. I know you are excited to see the real reason this place is still a float. Everyone can hate on me but I don't give two camel's shitting about them. This is a new year and that means a new time for Mr. TNA to finally regain his spotlight.
The people continue shouting at him as he makes his way into the arena.
Adams: Travis has arrived and he seems to be in good spirits.
Simone: Come on Jason, you and I both know this guy is a good actor. He knows how to play with the crowd's emotions.
As he walks into the employee's area, Pussy Willow is the first person to greet him.
Pussy Willow: Travis, it's so good to see you.
Travis gives Pussy a toothy grin before walking right past her. Shawna Jennings stops in front of Pussy while placing a schedule in her hand.
Shawna Jennings: The boss will speak to you when he sees fit.
Pussy looks at the schedule as Shawna follows after him. Pussy is left with a look of confusion on her face as the cameras cut away.
We see James Tuscini walking toward the entrance area to get in place for his debut at this edition of Climax Control. James is ready to make his entrance for his match and to make his mark in Sin City Wrestling. Tuscini sees the camera on him and he takes advantage of the time to comment.
James: I know Matt Spears and Chris Burden come into this match believing I'm an easy mark for them. I've never been an easy mark for anyone. When you have three wrestlers in a match and two of them are doubtful of their in-ring abilities, while I'm totally confident of what I can do in the ring, I'm a cinch to win. I know you all think I'm talking nonsense since I'm one of the new wrestlers here. I never talk nonsense. In a short time you will see me enter my Triple Threat match as a newcomer, an unknown, and a question mark in the minds of many. When the match is over, and my hand is raised in victory, there will be no doubt or questions left in anyone's mind. And please remember to put on a dark pair of sunglasses because I'm such a bright rising star in Sin City Wrestling that you could get blinded by my light!
James turns from the camera and he gets in place at the entrance area to be ready to make his entrance.
Justin: The following contest is a Triple Threat match, scheduled for one fall to a finish!
Adams: Why do ring announcers always say that? 'One fall to a finish'? Of course if there's a fall, then the match is finished!
Simone: Makes it sound more unique.
Adams: Ahhh!
"DragonForce" Fury of the Storm plays across the sound system as Matt Spears slaps a hand stretched out to him as he arrives at the ringside area and climbs the steps.
Justin: Introducing first! From Chicago, Illinois, weighing two hundred and twenty five pounds -- Matt Spears!
Matt steps through the ropes and simply stares out at the fans while he paces in his corner.
Adams: Oo! Attitude!
Simone: That kid definitely has it in spades.
"Hate my life" Theory of a Deadman hits the public address system. Out steps Chris Burden from behind the curtain with a cigarette between his lips. The crowd musters up a negative response as Chris just stands there absorbing all that animosity. He inhales deeply before dispensing the smoke to his finger tips.
Justin: Introducing from GTA, Ontario, Canada, weighing two hundred and twenty five pounds -- Chris Burden!
He begins the walk down the ramp way, selecting his target as his middle and index finger flip the lit smoke into the audience at a crowd member. Climbing the apron he rustles over the middle rope and into the ring. Walking over to the turnbuckle he finds his perch, sitting up on it waiting for the bell to toll.
Adams: Something about him tells me he'd get along great with Mikah.
Simone: You mean the fact that you could probably strike a match and light his breath?
Adams: Well I sure didn't mean he'd look as good in booty shorts as she does.
Face Fisted by Dethklok begins to play as the lights in the arena go dark. We watch as red, white, and green, spotlights flash around the entrance area. We see James "Guido"? Tuscini step out from the backstage area and he plays the crowd by waving and flexing his muscles. James makes his way across the landing and then he heads down the ramp to the wrestling ring.
Justin: And from San Francisco, California, weighing two hundred and sixty five pounds -- James Tuscini!
Along the way he acknowledges the crowd by giving high fives and shaking hands. When he arrives at the ring James climbs up the ring steps, then he walks along the ring apron, then he ducks through the ropes into the ring where he is immediately jumped by Matt Spears!
Adams: And the temper mental kid is already at it!
Simone: That boy has anger issues!
Adams: I guess it's safe to say the match is started!
Matt has James against the ropes and is unleashing a heavy barrage of fists and forearm strikes to the larger man's head as he is out to prove a point (whatever that may be) to his elder opposition while Chris Burden watches on with a drunken, amused expression on his face.
Simone: Wait, did the bell even ring to start this officially?
Adams: No but Chris posted the banner so... same thing.
James shakes the cobwebs, caught off guard by the younger man's eager, vicious assault, while Spears backs up a step, looking sure of himself, young and confidant. Matt then runs towards James, but is caught with a boot to the face, flooring him!
Simone: Next time the kid needs to learn how to brake!
James then goes after Chris and swings for a punch but Chris ducks and hits a stiff punch to the kidneys from behind from behind.
Adams: Booze makes most people's reflexes piss poor! Looks like it makes Burden's even sharper!
James is forced into the ropes, and shoots back at Chris. This time, James tackles him and starts to pound away.
Simone: And the brawl is on!
Matt over towards James and kicks him off of Chris, then starts to kick the downed Burden.
Simone: Where most people would team up against the downed third man, that kid seems to want to prove himself, all by himself!
James stands and sneaks up behind Matt and hits him with a quick Saito suplex!
Adams: And he just learned not to turn your back on your opponent!
James then switches targets and grabs Matt Spears, lifting him up and sets him up for a vertical suplex. He leaves Matt hanging in the air, when, out of nowhere Chris gets James with a jumping heel kick!
Simone: Oh the kid caught James right flush in the face with that shot!
Adams: He'll never play the trombone again! His lip looks like meatloaf!
James falls back to the ground and Matt lands outside of the ring, tumbling under the bottom rope and he collapses on the ringside floor. Chris hops to the top rope, and leaps off, looking for a frog splash -- but James brings his knees up and Chris crashes atop of them, stomach and ribs first! On the outside, Matt scrambles to his feet and notices the two down in the ring. He slides in and covers James!
1.....
Matt then hurries over and covers Chris!
1.....
2.....
James kicks out!
2.....
Chris gets a shoulder up!
Adams: The boozer's persistent! I'll give `im that!
Matt, disappointed, lifts James and tries to connect with a belly to belly suplex but James blocks it and then reverses it with his own belly-to-belly suplex and into an immediate cover!
1.....
On the other side of the ring, Chris is getting up and looks over at James, and runs at him. At the last second, James moves, sending Chris into the ring post hard!
2.....
Matt kicks out!
Simone: The ring experience of James Tuscini coming into play here.
Chris falls back onto the mat, and James lifts him up for the Human Torture Rack, but Matt gets his arms around James's waist from behind and brings him over into a bridging German suplex!
1.....
2.....
Chris breaks it up, diving atop of both men!
Adams: How are any of these guys going to get the win!? They're tougher than my sister-in-law's roast beef!
Simone: And we're live folks!
Adams: Quick! Edit! Delete! Alt+Ctrl+Del!
Matt pulls Chris off of James. The two stand, and Chris pushes Matt. Matt pushes back a little harder.
Simone: I would say tempers are flaring but we are way past that point!
Chris stares into Matt's eyes and goes for a punch but Matt sees it coming and ducks. He hooks Burden's arms from behind and hits the dragon suplex and bridges into another pin fall attempt!
1.....
James drags Spears up and dumps him through the ropes, then catches Chris with a guillotine leg drop and goes for the cover himself!
1.....
2.....
James comes from out of nowhere with a big elbow drop down into Matt's exposed midsection!
2.....
Matt desperately pulls the referee from the ring!
Simone: What the hell does he think he's doing!?
Adams: He can't do that! He can't touch an SCW referee!
James stands up in disbelief and starts yelling at Matt. Jacob then looks at Matt and points to his own shirt but Matt just rolls his eyes and goes to climb back inside when James, angry, charges in and crashes into Matt with a shoulder block, sending him flying from the ring apron and crashing into the barricade!
Adams: Lesson learned for the rookie!
James leans against the ropes and tells Matt to get back in when suddenly Chris Burden rolls James up for a surprise pin!
1.....
James stands up and he lands a heavy forearm blow to Chris's head, but Chris answers back and strikes with a shot of his own! James hits him, Chris hits him back, and the two erupt in an exchange of blows, trading shots back and forth and the fans are loving it! James blocks a shot and drills a fist into Burden's jaw, knocking him back against the ropes and then Tuscini grabs Chris and hits a sit out spine buster into a cover!
1.....
James is in disbelief. He gets up and pushes Jacob back!
2.....
James immediately kicks out!
2.....
Chris kicks out!
Adams: Careful now!
Simone: These three may have to learn that touching the referees in SCW is strictly forbidden and enforced!
Jacob holds up two fingers right in James's face telling him it was only a two count. James was pissed off, and turns to Chris when Matt grabs him from behind in a sleeper hold, but Tuscini fights him off right away, slamming him back into the near corner! Tuscini then goes for an Irish whip into the neutral corner but Matt reverses it and sends him in instead, following in straight away with a Stinger splash! Chris backs up, intending for a second, when Chris jumps and grabs him in a Back Stabber! Chris rolls through the maneuver and right into the Banks Statement submission hold! Matt screams in pain and struggles but they are trapped in the middle of the ring!
Adams: He's gonna tap! He's gonna tap!
But before he can, James jumps to break it up but Chris rolls away and Tuscini crashes atop of the young Matt Spears!
Adams: Who ordered the mis-timed maneuver?
James gets to his knees, holding his stomach, and Chris unleashes a series of stiff martial arts kicks right to Tuscini's already hurt sternum, one right after the other and with the crowd reacting to each one!
Crowd: One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!
Chris then spins around and hook kicks James in the back of the head and DDTs him! Chris goes for the cover!
1.....
2.....
Matt breaks it up!
Simone: Another save! What can these three men do in order to beat one of the others!?
Matt swings wildly for a roundhouse right but Chris catches his arm and counters with a shoulder breaker! He then drags him to his feet and holds Spears in position for an arm bar, then James is back up and grabs Burden from behind and drops him with a Scorpion Death drop, but Matt is taken along for the ride inadvertently with a single arm DDT!
Adams: What a move!
As Chris is down on the mat, Tuscini grabs the hurt Matt by the arm and lifts him up off of the mat with his patented Mafia Hit flying hammerlock! Before Chris Burden can recuperate to intervene, Matt signals to Jacob and the referee calls for the bell!
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Adams: He gave up! Tuscini wins!
Justin: Here is your winner -- JAMES TUSCINI!
James drops Matt to the canvas and raises his arms as the crowd responds with cheers and boos!
Simone: Earlier tonight we were "treated" to the presence of Steve's ego.
Adams: That's right, his ego is so big that it's its own person.
Simone: And my broadcast colleague just butchered the English Language, oh well, can't get any......
"I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of The Fearless Champion" Steve Ramone!"
Simone: And I should've kept my mouth shut.
Adams: Good question.
Once the flag appears on screen it cuts abruptly to a black screen.
Simone: Err, I think somebody unplugged the titentron apparently.
Adams: Somebody get that big wire back in!
Steve's voice: Throughout the night, in celebration of Steve Ramone Appreciation Night, the producers will show three random facts about me that proves how awesome I am.
Simone: How did he get that past the bosses?
Adams: Pretty sure he paid off the producers.
The rifff to "I Want the World......and Everything In It" by Battle Beast starts to play as a massive picture of Steve appears on the screen.
Steve Fact: Steve has watched every episode of Dragonball Z Abridged fifty times each, his favorite episode is Episode 27.
Simone: What episode was that again?
Adams: I can't remember.
Steve Fact: Steve beat Through the Fire and The Flames on Expert Mode on his first try, and 100% it on the first try.
Simone: Okay, that has to be bullshit.
Adams: You'd think it would've been uploaded on YouTube by now.
Steve Fact: Steve found all the Riddler Trophies on Arkham Knight on his first try, on PC.
Simone: Seriously?! That game was so buggy it makes the cheapest hotel room in America look live a five-star hotel.
Adams: Well, the PC Port anyway.
Steve: Tune in later for more awesome facts!
The scene cuts to black before it cuts to the next segment.
Cameras go backstage to see that there's Samuel and Henry Losak standing backstage, but there's no sign of Lord Raab in appearance with them as Henry has the microphone in hand and he begins to speak to the crowd while standing backstage in the interview area.
Henry Losak: "I know you are wondering why Lord Raab isn't here. Well it's because he's in Canada defending his MMA amateur Heavyweight title. I'm not here to talk about that though because tonight, it's big news that I Henry Losak would rather tell you all without Raab being here."
There's mixed reactions at the moment as there's some cheers mainly for Samuel and bits for Raab even, but still aren't fully liked as of yet as Henry speaks again.
Henry Losak: "The fact is we know Ethan Alexander's retired from professional wrestling and all week long, I've been getting phone calls from both Christian and Mark about having Lord Raab replacing Ethan for the Blast From The Past tournament."
It's something to do with the tournament, but it leaves the question if Lord Raab is competing or not as Henry speaks again.
Henry Losak: "I was very hesitant at first, but when they said they can't find anybody else, I accepted the offer because it's for his own good. Gothika doesn't have to worry because Lord Raab is replacing Ethan Alexander in the Blast From The Past tournament."
Henry left the fans in shock as Samuel nods in the background from hearing Henry and knew about it earlier as he speaks again.
Henry Losak: "I know Lord Raab's got bad history with women in the past, but I can't keep Raab attacking women both beating them and saying disgusting words every time he sees one because he needs to overcome this fear and learn that not all women are horrible. He's given up being nice to them due to what's happened to him that's caused him to be like the way he is to all women."
Henry likes the idea of Raab competing in the tournament, but he knows what will happen afterwards, but he wanted to help him as best as he could as he speaks.
Henry Losak: "Yes, the tournament involves a SCW World title shot if Raab wins and I know in my mind, he wants another SCW World title shot, even though he says no, but it's not really about that, it's the confidence and overcoming his fears of women and he needs to be in it so he'll learn from this experience and he will force himself going to a counsellor instead of me dragging him there every week and the win in the whole tournament will just accomplish the goal of women not hiding from Lord Raab any longer in the locker room and Raab to actually talk to women. So there you have it with the announcement and I'll see you all soon."
The cameras went elsewhere in the arena while Henry and Samuel go out of the stadium to go straight back to the headquarters.
Backstage, the Bombshell Champion Sam Marlowe can be seen walking towards the Bombshells locker room with the Bombshell title over one shoulder and the strap of a bag over the other. Walking with a purpose, she is approaching the Bombshell locker room when she is stopped by her sister.
Samantha Marlowe: Hey Cyn, what are you doing here?
Cyn Marlowe: I'm here to take you to your dressing room.
Sam smiles and points to the shared Bombshell locker room.
Samantha Marlowe: You are a little late, I am here already.
Cyn Marlowe: No no no Sammi, you are the Bombshell champion and that means perks little sister. It means your own locker room with its own catering and everything that goes with being the champion.
Sam holds up a hand as Cyn gets a starry look in her eyes just dreaming of the perks she will be able to enjoy.
Cyn Marlowe: You won the title from Mikah and now you...
Samantha Marlowe: Now I what Cyn? Now I get to be just like her? Don't you think that might be a bit hypocritical? I mean really...I ain't anything like Mikah and just because I won the title from her does not mean that I am supposed to become like her. No Cyn, that ain't me.
Sam starts moving towards the door of the Bombshell locker room only to be grabbed from behind by Cyn.
Cyn Marlowe: Sammi, it is your right as champion.
Smiling at her sister, she shakes off the grip on her arm.
Samantha Marlowe: I may be the bombshell champion Cyn and y'all may think that I need to be just like Mikah but I'm not that kind of champion and if I ever become that conceited, I am going to ask Ben to shoot me. Now I got a show to get ready for so if y'all will excuse me...
Sam moves away from a fuming Cyn and pushes the door to the Bombshell locker room open and disappears inside.
Simone: It's time for another match in the Blast from the Past Tournament and in this match we will see Melanie Gabrielle and Connor Murphy team up to take on Mercedes Vargas and the returning Derek Thorne.
Adams: Melanie wants to get back on the winning track after The Angel Clan's loss to Team Hero at My Bloody Valentine whilst Connor wants to bounce back from losing the Tag Titles to Ben Jordan and Simon Jones, Mercedes on the other hand is the reigning Bombshell Internet Champion after she won it from Alexis Edwards so she has a lot of momentum going into this match.
Simone: Her partner Derek has a lot to prove and for all we know he could be the next best thing in SCW! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following Tag Team Contest is scheduled for one fall and is a match in the Blast from the Past Tournament!
A drum solo starts up through the arenas personal address system that is slowly joined by a very familiar guitar rift as Message in Blood by Pantera plays loudly through the speakers. The lights in the arena dim down as Derek Thorne can be seen walking out from behind the curtains, taking centre stage his lifts his arms up in the air. His arms are out stretched are at shoulder height looking out into the crowded arena, Derek drops to his knees.
Justin: Weighing in at two hundred and thirty five pounds, he is Derek Thorne
Unclenching his hands he raises them slightly so his open palms are facing the ceiling. As the cameras approach Derek they can see that he is mouthing a quote of some description but it is unknown to the crowd as it is in German. Closing his eyes briefly after he finishes his scripture Derek rolls his head back before getting back up to his feet. Dropping his arms back down to his sides Derek makes his way towards the ring, climbing the steps his wrestling boots clunk against the steel. Entering the ring through the middle and top rope Derek walks around the ring a few times, not encouraging the fans in the slightest.
Simone: Derek looks ready for action.
Adams: This is a big match for him though.
Justin: And his partner!
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin Decent: Making her way to the ring from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, she is the reigning Bombshell Internet Champion MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponents to arrive.
Justin: And their opponents!
Untraveled Road's throbbing beat and clapping begins to play as Connor Murphy comes out on stage, one arm shaking with the beat over his head as the other pulls his cigarette from his lips while holding a red solo cup. Starting down towards the ring, he jokes and smirks at the fans.
Justin Decent: Hailing from Ottawa Ontario Canada, Connor MURPHY!
Connor stops part way around the ring at the announcers table to take one final puff of his cigarette then looks for something to put it out in. With a smirk and a nod at Belinda, he motions putting out the cigarette in her drink only to wave it off and put his glass down on the table and drop the butt into it. Climbing into the ring, he wipes at his nose then smirks for the fans again.
Simone: Connor is one of several Nobodies competing in the tournament though I am surprised that Celeste never signed up.
Adams: Whatever her reasoning is let's just hope that her teammates don't make it to the finals.
Justin: And his partner!
The lights turn pink, red and purple as "Evil Angel" by: Breaking Benjamin plays. Melanie Gabrielle walks out with her sword in hand. She raises it up into the air and lets out a battle cry. Melanie walks down the ramp as the crowd cheers loudly for her.
Justin: From Copenhagen, Denmark, representing The Angel Clan Melanie Gabrielle!
As she gets into the ring, the lights turn off and a spot light is on her. She jumps into the ring and walks into the center. Melanie takes her crown off her head and tosses into the air. She catches it as the lights turn to normal.
Simone: And like Connor Melanie's allies in SCW are in the tournament as well as Lucy got teamed up with a mystery partner and Jessie got teamed with TNA.
Adams: I still can't get over the fact that Jessie's in The Angel Clan now, anyway it'll be interesting to see how a match between their teams plays out in the coming weeks.
Holly waits in the middle of the ring for the two teams to decide on who's to start off the match, it doesn't take long for the two teams to come to an agreement as the men decide to start the match off whilst the women watch on from the apron and, once Holly's gone over the rules with Connor and Derek, she calls for the bell to start the match.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And we're starting with the men.
Adams: It's a case of Veteran vs. Rookie here, it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Simone: Derek might have been out of the game for a while but is far from a rookie, and a long time friend of both Connor Murphy and Spike Staggs.
Connor and Derek start trash talking in the middle of the ring before Derek fires off a wild right hand to Connor's face sending the Nobody reeling, Connor soon returns the favor by firing off a shot of his own and the two men start brawling in the middle of the ring much to the enjoyment of the fans, Melanie and Mercedes can do nothing but cheer on their partners from the apron as the two men go back and forth.
Simone: It didn't take long for this match to descend into chaos.
Adams: And it didn't take long for Derek to take advantage either.
Indeed, Derek has gained the advantage by grabbing Connor's arm and locking in an arm bar following a wild right hand that Derek ducked, he rings the arm a few times for some added pressure until Connor performs a forward flip and sweeps Derek's legs out from under him to break the hold before going for a quick cover which barely reaches a one count before Derek kicks out of the pin attempt, the two men get to their feet and a standoff seems to ensue earning applause from the crowd.
Simone: Derek is holding his own so far. No sign of rust.
Adams: How long that will continue is anyone's guess.
The two men lock up again and Derek takes up the advantage one more time by locking in a headlock on Connor, Connor starts to fight out of it almost immediately by firing fists into Derek's midsection before he backs Derek off to the ropes and sends him across the ring, on the rebound Connor ducks down to the matt causing Derek to leap over him and run to the opposite side, unfortunately for Derek, Melanie ducks down dragging the top rope down with her sending Derek to the outside.
Simone: Whatever happened to the "no intergender violence" rule?
Adams: Physical contact wasn't made between Derek and Melanie, that's probably the only reason why Holly's allowing it.
Connor smirks in response to his partner's quick thinking whilst Mercedes is less than pleased even going as far as to yell swear words in English and Spanish at Holly who pays no attention to the Internet Champion as Connor rolls out of the ring to retrieve Derek, whilst Holly restarts the count Connor picks up Derek and rams him back first into the barricade before rolling him into the ring and following him in before Holly can even reach the count of four, Connor follows this up with a pin attempt on Derek 1....2.....and Derek kicks out.
Simone: First real pin attempt of the match and Connor and Melanie are in control.
Adams: No thanks to Melanie off course.
Connor argues with Holly over a slow count but Holly's having none of this and orders Connor to continue the match, before Connor can argue any more Derek surprises him with a roll-up 1....2....and Connor kicks out at the count of two! The two men get back to their feet and, in spite of the fact that he's clearly favoring his back following his tumble to the outside and subsequent collision with the barricade, Derek tries to brawl with Connor but it doesn't last as long as the last one as Derek's pain proves to be his undoing as Connor is able to take advantage of it by ducking under a wild right hand and hitting a Northern Lights Suplex and holding on for the pin 1....2....and Derek kicks out.
Simone: Another near fall in this match.
Adams: Yeah and as long as Connor keeps up the pressure on Derek's back I don't think the Bombshells will be getting involved in this one, legally anyway.
Rather than argue with Holly over a slow count Connor decides to change tactics by picking up Derek and locking him in an Adomable Stretch submission hold making sure that he is near the ropes for some reason, Holly gets into position to check on Derek and whilst her back is turned Connor grabs onto the nearest top rope applying more pressure to Derek's back but when Holly goes to see if Connor is cheating or not, mostly at the insistence of Mercedes, Connor lets go off the top rope and pleads innocence whilst he keeps the hold locked in.
Simone: More cheating from Connor and this time Melanie isn't involved.
Adams: This won't last, either Derek will tap or Holly will catch on.
Connor is able to keep up the charade two more times before Holly catches him in the act and forces him to let go of the top rope, Connor does so but the distraction allows Derek to break free of the submission hold and hits Connor with an Arm Drag before following it up with a discus clothesline, whilst making sure that he doesn't land on his already injured back as the force takes him off his feet, Derek goes for another cover 1....2.....and Connor kicks out at the count of two.
Simone: And now Derek's in control.
Adams: But unless he can tag in Mercedes this match won't last much longer.
Mercedes seems to realize this as well and she is calling for Derek to tag her in so that the Bombshells can take the spotlight for the first time in this match, Derek spots her and starts making his way to his team's corner whilst Connor recovers from Derek's offensive onslaught, however just as he gets close enough to make the tag Connor grans Derek from behind and tries to hit him with a German Suplex only for Derek to land on his feet and pulls him in to a pumphandle position, lifting him up and driving him in to the match.
Simone: Connor just got drilled through the ring.
Adams: But Derek isn't going for the cover, he's tagging in Mercedes!
Derek successfully makes the tag to Mercedes and, once he realizes that he's no longer the legal man, Connor makes his way over to his team's corner and tags in Melanie allowing the Bombshells to take center stage in this match, Mercedes and Melanie start brawling with each other in the middle of the ring whilst their partners watch on from the ringside apron and cheer them on whilst the crowd eats up the action in the middle of the ring.
Simone: Mercedes and Melanie are going back and forth in what can best be described as a mirror of how this match started!
Adams: And suddenly I want to buy a bag of M&Ms.
After a few minutes it's Melanie that takes the advantage after she ducks under a wild right hand from Mercedes before ramming her into a neutral corner and firing off rights and lefts into Mercedes's abdomen and grabbing her head before nailing her with a beautiful Tornado DDT, Melanie goes for the cover on Mercedes 1....2.....and Mercedes kicks out at the count of two, before Melanie can go for a follow up attack in Mercedes the reigning Internet Champion rolls out of the ring to buy herself some breathing room.
Simone: Mercedes probably saved herself some pain there.
Adams: Not for long! Melanie has been known to take to the skies on more than one occasion and nowhere is safe from a Bombshell like that!
Indeed, Melanie is watching Mercedes from the inside of the ring waiting for a perfect opportunity to hit Mercedes with a Suicide Dive, she doesn't have to wait long for the opportunity to arrive either for as soon as Mercedes stops to take a breath (at the count of seven) Melanie takes the advantage by charging at the ropes and nailing her with a suicide dive.
Simone: It's like you said, Melanie and Lucy are known as The Angel Clan for a reason!
Adams: And that reason might see Melanie and Connor through to the next round!
Holly barely has a chance to restart her count before Melanie picks up Mercedes and rolls her back into the ring before following her in and going for a cover 1.....2.....and Mercedes kicks out at the count of two, the crowd is going crazy for the action but it isn't long before Melanie finds herself falling into the same trap that Connor did by arguing with Holly over a slow count whilst Connor tries to get her to focus on the match.
Simone: Connor might want to invest in a megaphone right now because Melanie can't hear him!
Adams: He knows from personal experience how badly this could end for Melanie!
By the time Melanie does focus on Mercedes again it's too late as Mercedes has gotten back to her feet and sets her up for, and hits, the Black Rose Overdrive! Mercedes rolls Melanie onto her back and goes for the cover whilst Connor drops down from the apron 1......2.....and Connor puts Melanie's leg up on the apron and calls Holly's attention to it forcing Holly to stop the count.
Simone: I'd normally complain about male on female violence but there was nothing violent about that!
Adams: Legal on the other hand......
Mercedes tries to argue that Connor interfered but Holly never saw it and can only shrug her shoulders in response, however Connor soon gets his comeuppance as Derek charges at him and starts a brawl with him on the outside of the ring whilst on the inside Mercedes picks up Melanie only to get tripped up by Melanie and locked in the Royal Execution.
Simone: Royal Execution! Melanie has it locked in.
Adams: And even if Derek could break it up he's too busy brawling with Connor!
Holly gets into position to check on Mercedes and Mercedes tries to withstand the submission hold for as long as she can, however the pain soon becomes too much for Mercedes as she is forced to tap out!
Justin: Here are your winners and the team that moves on to the next round of the Blast from the Past Tournament Melanie Gabrielle and Connor Murphy!
Simone: What a match, say what you will about Melanie and Connor's tactics but they could be the team to beat in the tournament!
Adams: Not to mention the fact that Melanie now has a win over the reigning Internet Champ! We might see a one on one match between them soon!
Melanie and Connor celebrate whilst Derek checks on Mercedes.
Simone: Well it's been a while since Steve last pestered us, maybe he'll keep his mouth shut...
"I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of The Fearless Champ Steve Ramone!"
Adams: Spoke to soon?
Simone: Spoke to soon.
Belinda responds with an annoyed sigh before the scene cuts to black again.
Steve: Are you ready for more Steve Facts?
Simone: No.
Adams: Not really.
Steve: Good, here they come!
Steve Fact: Steve is the best Roulette Champion of all time.
Simone: HE JUST WON THE TITLE!
Adams: Do you really think a little fact like that will stop him?
Steve Fact: My Christmas album outsold all of Justin Bieber's discography combined in it's first week of release.
Simone: Didn't that album fail to reach its target?
Adams: Yes, and I'm still waiting for my refund.
Steve Fact: Team PMS and Steve will win the whole tournament, even if Steve has to win it on his own!
Simone: I refer you to my initials.
Adams: And I refer you to her initials.
Steve: Those are the last facts but I'll be back!
The scene fades to black as the show cuts to another segment.
The cameras show Travis walking through the corridor as an event staff member stops him.
Event Staff Member: I'm sorry sir but this place is restricted to SCW personnel only.
Travis tilts his head to the side while looking at this guy through his sunglasses.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: Do you have any idea who I am?
The staff member doesn't seem to care as he holds up a clipboard with the names of people on the card. He is looking at it while completely ignoring Travis.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: Excuse me, do you know who the hell I am?
Travis goes to walk past him as the staff member places his hand on his chest.
Event Staff Member: Sir, I am warning you to turn back around and find your seat in the audience.
Travis sees the staff member's hand on him as he quickly lifts his sunglasses off his face.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: If you want to keep your hand then I would remove it. Now let me pass.
The staff member shakes his head while getting right up into Travis' face.
Event Staff Member: I'm not going to tell you again. This is restricted to SCW Personnel only.
Travis looks at this idiot. He lets out a quick sigh before grabbing the guy by his collar and slamming him up against the wall. A few members of security come to the scene but doesn't do anything.
Event Staff Member: Get you hands off me. Guys take this jackal away.
The security guards shake their heads while folding their arms in front of their chest.
Security Guard: Are you high? That is Mr. TNA himself. He works for us.
The staff member scoffs as Travis looks right into his eyes.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: You are lucky that I have places to be and things to do. Otherwise, I would spike that head of yours into this concrete floor.
Travis lets go of the staff member before fixing his suit jacket. He walks off as the staff member is eyeing him.
The cameras cut to the back as Candy Overton is sitting inside her locker room. Her hands are taped and resting comfortably on her thighs. Her sister Hazel is sitting next to her as Candy looks at the locker door.
Candy Overton: Something's got to give.
Hazel Overton: After tonight, you will finally earn the respect you damn well deserve.
Candy turns her head to look at her sister as a smile creeps across her face.
Candy Overton: You better believe it. Kate Steele is going to get what her stupid sister in law deserves. You know once I put Melody out of her misery. I should seek revenge on that backstabbing bitch.
Hazel loved it when her sister talked mean. Candy stood up to her feet while slamming her fist into her hand.
Candy Overton: Win or lose, Kate Steele will be the catalyst that sparks my trail of blood. I'm done playing the backseat to anyone.
Candy slams her fist into the locker as it creates a small dent. Hazel's eyes go wide as Candy turns to leave the locker room.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first... from Tampa, Florida... Jenny Tuck!
"Golddigger" plays as Jenny comes out, winking to the crowd. She begins to twirl her body a bit as she faces the ring and walks towards it. She climbs up the stairs, stops at the edge of the ring. She takes off her jacket and shakes her ass. She enters the ring and waits for her opponent.
Justin: And her opponent... from Beverly Hills, California... Celeste North...
The lights in the arena go black as "Sex Metal Barbie" by In This Moment plays over the speakers. Red lights take over the stage, flashing along to the beat of the music. The fans give off a mixed reaction of cheers and boos. After a few seconds, a figure comes out of the shadows in a black hooded jacket, zipped up, and a pair of black hot pants, down to the knee pads and black faux fur boots. Brown hair falls out of the hood while the face remains covered in shadows. The person is looking down, their hair dangling for a moment. As the chorus comes up, the feminine figure raises her head to reveal Celeste North. She has her hands tucked into the hood of her jacket, walking along as if the venue were empty, paying attention to nobody. She doesn't seem to care one bit as she comes to the end of the ramp. She pulls her hands out of her pockets and darts up to the apron, leaping up. She turns around, holding her hands up in the air for a second, seeming to feel the music. After a moment she turns around and enters the ring. She unzips her hooded jacket, hanging it on the far turnbuckle as she backs into it, eyes locked on Jenny Tuck, as she waited for the match to start.
The ref checks both ladies for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...

North and Tuck circle the ring for a moment, before moving in and locking up in a collar and elbow tie up, as they struggle for a moment, but North quickly manoeuvres and traps Tuck's arm into a armbar, giving it a little twist before distancing herself away from Tuck and twists her arm once more, but Tuck quickly counters and grabs North's arm and reverses the hold, which brings North down to her knees, but she moves back to her feet, where she tries to break the hold, but instead does a forward roll and instantly reverses the hold and Tuck is now having her arm twisted.
Simone: An interesting start here between the two women... slow start but neither want to show their hands early.
North brings Tuck's arm around to her back, and Tuck begins to fight out of it as she tries to grab at North's hair, but it doesn't get hair but managed to counter and she is now behind North with a grip around the waist of North.
Adams: Definitely slow... but shows that both women have good technical ability.
North instantly grabs at Tuck's hands and fights to free herself, which she does and once more counters the move and she is now behind with her own grip around the waist of North. North tries to fight out of the move, but Tuck wraps a leg around North's bringing her down to the mat. While down on the mat Tuck manages to manoeuver herself to lock North into a headlock, before bringing her up to feet. However, before Tuck can act, North grabs Tuck's arm and twists it and Tuck shakes her head, as she tries to escape from the move but instead she cartwheels out of the move, before gripping North's hands and hitting an arm drag.
Simone: Tuck blinks first here and sends North across the ring with an armdrag.
Tuck and North quickly get to the feet, as they look at each other pondering their next move, as the fans clap their hands at their display. Tuck and North once again circle briefly, before locking up once more but Tuck being the slightly heavier on the two, gets North into a headlock with North fighting to get out of it, Tuck backs herself up into the ropes before whipping North away, who bounces off the ropes opposite and shoulder blocks Tuck, which sends her down to the mat.
Adams: The fans enjoying and appreciating the technical skills of both women, and I have to say I am impressed.
Simone: It may have started slow... but it only can get better.
Adams: Indeed and check out that shoulder block.
North then bounces of the ropes, as Tuck responds by lying flat on the mat, with North jumping over Tuck, Tuck quickly gets to her feet and tries to swing at North, but North ducks and bounces off the ropes, and as she comes back, she delivers a kick to the chest of Tuck before hitting a jawbreaker.
North then quickly climbs onto Tuck and goes for a pin.
Simone: I sense both ladies got a little fed up with the slow start.
Adams: Not slow now... what a jawbreaker.

Adams: Tuck kicks out with ease.
Tuck kicks out, as North shakes her head and tries again.

North again shakes her head, as she climbs to her feet, where she grabs Tuck by the hair and drags her up to her feet, where North slaps the face of Tuck a few times, before grabbing her hand and whipping Tuck into the ropes and as Tuck comes back, Tuck surprises North with a spear. Tuck and North lay on the mat for a moments, before Tuck drapes an arm across North.
Simone: Tuck kicks out again, but she isn't getting a breather, as North is back on her with an unladylike slap to the face.
Adams: Well her cockiness is short lived, as Tuck hits a spear on North and just about manages to cover North.

Simone: I guess the early exchange was too much for them.
Adams: Or perhaps the jawbreaker and Spear.
Tuck is the first to move, as she rubs her jaw, which knocked her silly, while North rolls herself away from Tuck as she sucks in as much as air possible and holds her torso.

Simone: what the case, both need to get moving and focus on not getting counted out.
Tuck slowly sits up and crawls over to the ropes, while North rolls herself out of the ring and away from danger.

Tuck pulls herself up using the ropes, as the ref stops the count. Tuck looks around for North and quickly spots her, before sliding out of ring away from North. Tuck rubs her jaw briefly before slowly making her way around the ring, sneaking up behind North.
Adams: Here we go... Tuck back on her feet, but North hasn't seen Tuck as she is focused on recovering on the outside of the ring.
Grabbing North and pulling her to feet, Tuck goes to boot North in the gut, however, North surprises Tuck with a slap to the face, which shocks Tuck and she deliver's one of her own to North and it quickly dissolves into a brawl, with Tuck and North trading shots at eachother, as the ref abandon's her count and demands them to come back into the ring.
Simone: North showing signs of desperation with those slaps.
Adams: Does that mean Tuck as well?
Ignoring the ref, Tuck and North continue to brawl, as North gets the upper hand and drives a knee into Tuck's gut, before whipping Tuck into the barriers and following it up with a running boot to the face of Tuck. Tuck crumbles to the floor, as North grabs Tuck by the hair and throws her back into the ring following close behind.
Adams: what a brawl and what a boot.
Simone: If they aren't careful, both are going to get counted out.
Adams: The ref hasn't even started counting.
North then covers Tuck...

Tuck gets a boot onto the ropes, which the ref informs North of this and North waves her off, as North slaps Tuck in the face once more before getting to her feet and then stomping on Tuck a few times, as Tuck tries to cover up but with little luck. North then grabs Tuck and pulls her to her feet, where she whips her into the turnbuckle before quickly following it up with a splash before whipping her into the turnbuckle across the other side and moving in once again but this time with a an enziguri.
Simone: Good ring awareness by Tuck there.
Adams: However, it won't help here, as North continues to punish Tuck.
Tuck crumples to the mat, where North then begins to choke Tuck against the ropes, but the ref begin to count and North moves away. Once the ref stops, North is back on her with another choke, as the ref yells at her to stop and threatens her with disqualification.
Simone: North really pushing the limits here... but she doesn't care.
Adams: She's a nobody.
North stops and moves away, but quickly moves back in and grabs Tuck by the hair and pulls her up, where she hits a couple of chops to her chest, before jumping up and monkey flipping Tuck, who lands on her hands and knees.
Adams: North is back on Tuck and delivers some nice chops.
Simone: Nice monkey flip, but Tuck lands on her hands and knees and not face.
North quickly turns and heads over to Tuck, where she grabs her and pulls her up and goes for a German Suplex, but Tuck blocks it before swinging her elbow into the side of North's head before doing it again, which North releases her hands and Tuck kicks out behind her hitting one of North's shins.
Simone: Tuck somehow has energy left and is fighting back.
North backs away holding her leg, as Tuck turns she heads straight for North, where she goes for a kick to the face on North, but North catches Tuck's foot, but Tuck quickly counter with a enziguri of her own on North.
Adams: Interesting offensive... but it works for Tuck and unfortunately for North, she catches a boot to the back of the head.
Instead of going for a cover, Tuck slowly gets to her feet, where she lays in a few boots of her own to North before pulling North back up to her feet, where she sets up and hits a snap Suplex, as North arches her back in pain, Tuck is back on her and picks her up and goes for another Suplex, but North surprises Tuck with a small package pin...
Simone: North wants this match over.

Adams: Tuck just countered.
Tuck counters and pins North...

Simone: North kickouts.
But North kicks out as well, as both ladies let go of each other and roll away getting to their knee's as they stare at each other, as Tuck smirks, as both ladies get their feet and figure out what to do next. Circling the ring, Tuck and North move in and once more lock up, as both of them struggle to get the upper hand, and realising that she isn't getting anywhere, North quickly resorts to driving her knee into the gut of Tuck.
Adams: Neither women sure on what to do... but North blinks first and drives a knee into Tuck's gut.
As Tuck grips her stomach, North grabs Tuck and whips her into the turnbuckle before quickly following it up with a right hook to the temple of Tuck, then she hit's a European uppercut and finishing it up with a running bulldog (Homicidal).
North then goes for a cover...
Simone: North with the Homicidal...

Justin: Winner of this match.... Celeste North!
Adams: Good win here for Celeste North.
Sex Metal Barbie hits over the p.a as North gets to her feet, as the ref raises her hand.
Following the last match, we cut to the backstage area, namely Steve Ramone's party to celebrate his Roulette Title victory, where we can see Ms. Rocky Mountains trying to get passed Cyrus.
Simone: And here I thought we had seen the last of Steve for one night.
Adams: He is an attention whore! Just look at everything he did during his suspension last year.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Look, I don't care if Steve somehow brought Mahatma Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln back to life just so they could attend this damn party, the bosses sent me here to interview him about the Main Event and I'm not leaving empty handed!
Cyrus: And I'm telling you that the only people who are getting in there are those that are on the guest list.
Cyrus says as he holds up a long piece of paper before he starts searching through it.
Cyrus: Let's see, q......r....... nope, sorry Rocky, your name isn't on here.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Oh for the love off....... come to think of it how many people who are on that list are actually in there?
Rocky asks as she motions to the area that Steve has rented out for the party.
Cyrus: Err......a little more than half.
Cyrus responds before sighing.
Cyrus: Look, me and Andreas didn't even bother contacting most of the people on the list because Steve set his expectations too high, he even told us to get Barack Obama and the presidential candidates to attend for Christ sakes! Though I suppose there's an advantage to not having Donald Trump anywhere near me but still!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Let me guess, that includes Chef Ramsey.
Cyrus: Yep, I had to pay off Shane to do the catering.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I thought Shane hated Steve because of the whole Superkick incident?
Cyrus: He does but he's not about to turn down a chance to cook for some money.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: It doesn't matter! Look, the bosses said that if you don't let him be interviewed by me they'll shut down the party and strip him off the Roulette Title, why don't you go tell Steve that?
Cyrus sighs in annoyance before he enters the party area to retrieve Steve, it doesn't take Steve long to appear on the scene either as Steve swiftly emerges from the party area with the Roulette Title over his shoulder and a drink in the other.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You're not drinking ahead of the match tonight, are you?
Steve: Do I look like Mikah? This a non-alcoholic drink!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Just checking, anyway Steve tonight your competing in your first Blast from the Past Tournament match, any final words?
Steve: What's more to be said? Alexis hates my guts and we're facing two of the top talents in the fed but regardless of what Alexis thinks of me Team PMS and Steve will win!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Did you really have to call your team that?
Steve: Actually it was Charlotte's idea.
Rocky stares at Steve in confusion before turning to Cyrus.
Cyrus: I can confirm that as well.
Rocky shakes her head in disbelief before leaving as the scene cuts to another seg.
Outside the bombshell locker room, Pussy Willow can be seen pacing back and forth as if waiting for someone. Suddenly the door cracks open as Sam Marlowe steps out of the room and smiles at her friend. Dressed in a platinum colored ring outfit, Sam has the belt over her shoulder. Moving closer to Pussy, she puts her free arm over her friend's shoulder.
Samantha Marlowe: Let me guess, you are here for the first interview with the Bombshell champion.
Pussy Willow: I thought that I would come and get an interview with the Bombshell Roulette champion like you promised me but well, you didn't fight for that title at My Bloody Valentine. So I guess I will have to settle for interviewing the Bombshell champion instead.
Pussy sighs dramatically as Sam nods with a grin.
Samantha Marlowe: I am so sorry Pussy, maybe next time...
The pair share a grin and hug. As they do, Cyn appears and rolls her eyes.
Cyn Marlowe: Pussy Willow, my goodness. Here to interview MY little sister the Bombshell champion are we? Well let me just tell you that no one is better than Sammi here. I mean look at what she did at the supercard, she won THE World title in a dominant fashion. And unlike some other champions here in this company, she didn't have to resort to tricks to do it.
Sam is about to say something when the three women are joined by J2H who has his title over his shoulder. He gives Cyn a once over with a cocky smirk. The pair shares a look and stands back as J2H slowly wags a finger in Cyn's direction.
J2H: I don't mean to interupt, but I pretty much run this place now being the king and all, but I'm gonna because I can. I got a question for ya, old Marlowe, not new Marlowe. Most people when they wanna win championships, they go to people who know what it's like to be a champion, they listen to them and learn from them, so what makes you think anything you've said to new Marlowe there had made ANY difference? People trained by McDonalds, wouldn't exactly be sort after for advice on how to launch a rocket ship, so trust me, ya can't claim credit for new Marlowe when old Marlowe couldn't do it here herself... Mmmmkay?
J2H turns to Pussy Willow.
J2H: You can talk to the real champ here
Pussy Willow: J2H, Congratulations on your win at My Bloody Valentine. Quite the speech you made about it earlier. So why did you do that?
Cyn Marlowe: Indeed, congratulations sir for tricking everyone into pitying you about wanting to leave the company. Any better and I would have thought they would be kissing your derriere in gratitude for keeping the title. At least they have a world champion that doesn't need to belittle herself to resort to tricking anyone about her championship.
Samantha Marlowe: Cyn...my god. Just don't. He has his title and I have mine that makes us both world champions. Congrats James by the way.
Pussy Willow: Yes, congrats again. But if you don't mind, I am just going to head over here to finish up my interview with Sam since she promised me the first interview with her as champion..
Sam nods and points in the opposite direction as J2H looks between the two women and Cyn who is smirking at him with an inquiring eyebrow raised as if expecting James to say something.
J2H: As I'm like the president here now, you have my permission to continue, but let me give you come great advice. Talk to someone that people wanna listen to. Not someone living through her sister cause she just couldn't get past the finish line herself.
Cyn is left standing there with her mouth open in surprise as J2H walks away, his hand lightly patting his title as he whistles down the hallway.
Simone: Two weeks ago an alliance no one saw coming was formed when Jessie Salco was invited to join the Angel Clan at My Bloody Valentine II.
Adams: She even as named herself the "Metal Angel" within minutes of accepting the invitation! Jessie isn't in action tonight and based on twitter she's off rocking out to Iron Maiden in Vegas but a tape was sent to the production truck earlier this week that features Jessie training with The Angel Clan.
Simone: And apparently it's been set to a montage complete with Eye of the Tiger, let's watch.
The titentron shows a video off Jessie training in an undisclosed location with Melanie and Lucy whilst the other members of the Angel Clan watch on and the footage is in black and white, indeed the song is set to the famous song "Eye of the Tiger" but the heavy distortion and screaming identifies it as the cover by Devil You Know rather than the original by Survivor.
Simone: What the.......
Adams: I didn't even know there was a metal cover of that song.
The montage continues as does Jessie's training as we see her training with different members of the Angel Clan both male and female, even her older brother Jake joins in briefly as he trains with some of the male members before it cuts back to Jessie's training, once the cover ends it cuts to Jessie standing in the middle of an empty ring with her arms crossed, it's easy to see that this footage is from an intense day of training with The Angel Clan as we can see sweat on her forehead and the sports bra she's wearing.
Jessie: This is a message to the other teams in the Blast from the Past Tournament, even my partners in the Angel Clan, the Metal Angel will strike you all down with or without Travis's help and we will win the tournament.
Jessie flashes the devil horns before the camera cuts to black.
Simone: I think it's safe to say that Jessie's skill is being brought to a whole new level thanks to her training with the Angel Clan.
Adams: She was always a talented competitor but if that footage is anything to go by the other teams in BFTP had better watch out!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is one of the first round matches in the Blast from the Past tournament! Introducing first...
The lights in the arena go out as "Ridicule" by American Head Charge plays on the speaker, working the crowd into a frenzy. The lights flash on and off with every other word of the song, and with each flash a mysterious figure can be briefly made out on the stage. Towards the end of the first verse, the lights flash on and off more rabid, almost creating a strobe light. Pyros explode from the side of the ramp with a loud bang, and the lights stay on as Joey slowly walks down the ramp, wearing a creepy smirk with his head cocked to the side. He takes his time as he makes his way to the ring, seemingly lost in his own little world.
Justin: "Making his way to the ring, from Los Angeles, California...here is, and I quote...JOEY FUCKING HARRIS!!"
Joey straightens out his neck, seemingly snapping back into real life as an awareness hits his eyes. He suddenly looks focused as he approaches the ring, leaping up to the ring apron. The lights once again flash on and off briefly with the lyrics of the song. Joey enters the ring by leaping over the top rope, quickly throwing his arms out at his side and shouting to the crowd as they scream and cheer. He makes his way to the turnbuckle in the opposite corner and jump to the top rope. Joey leaps down from the rope as the music slowly fades out, bouncing around and licking his lips with a violent, anxious expression on his face.
The house lights drop down as two purple spotlights shine on the stage. A video package begins to play on the giant screen as blue lights slowly begin to float around the arena. The horns of "Worth It" start to play as two ladies are standing in the spotlights. The moment "Give to it to me," is sung all three ladies lift their head as the house lights come back up. Purple and Blue lights continue to float around the arena as the two ladies separate and Candy Overton steps out between them. She is wearing ripped jeans, a cut up halter top with gloves on her hands. She stands at the top of the ramp while slowly looking side to side.
Justin: Being accompanied to the ring by Hazel Overton and Isabella Kincaid, from Salt Lake City, Utah, please welcome CANDY OVERTON.
Right when Dinah starts her verse, Candy proceeds to descend down the ramp while holding her arms out to her side. The crowd is heavily mixed at her appearance as walks toward the ring. Her eyes are not diverting from it while her companions are showing their displeasure for the live audience. Candy hops up onto the ring apron, enters it like a normal female and walks around inside the ring with her arms still out to her side. She has a twisted smirk on her face while stopping in a corner. Instead of climbing up onto it, she lays across them while pretending to yawn.
Justin: And their opponents, first...from Oslo Norway weighing in at 197 pounds...The Norwegian Nightmare, CJ Sharpe!!
2 Piece by Tech N9ne plays as CJ comes out to deafening boos. He smiles at the entrance ramp before shadow boxing 2 jabs, 1 left and 1 right. He then puts his arms up and in return the fans shower him in boos. He brushes it off and walks to the ring and slides in the ring before getting up and sitting on the top turnbuckle in his corner awaiting the introduction of his partner.
Grow up by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she stares at the roaring crowd who are all cheering her on. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she claps the hands of outstretched fans.
Justin: And his partner, from Berkshire England, she is the Bombshell Roulette champion...Kate Steele!!
Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd cheering her on. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans follow in. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin.
The bell rings as CJ and Joey move into the middle of the ring. Candy slides between the ropes as Kate makes her own way out of the ring. Jacob Summers motions for the match to start as Harris and Sharpe lock up in a collar and elbow that the larger Harris uses to power CJ into the corner. Leaning backwards, Sharpe tries to force a break by holding up his hands while Harris backs away. When he does, CJ slams a thumb into his eye before exploding towards him with a clothesline that takes Harris off his feet. CJ smirks as he reaches for the hair of Harris to pull him to his feet and locks him up with his leg to take him back to the mat with a Russian leg sweep that he floats over to turn into a pin.
Simone: Quick pin for CJ Sharpe but I don't think that Joey Harris is ready to give up that easily.
Adams: Especially since the babes...I mean bombshells haven't had their chance to shine.
Summers drops and only gets a one count as Joey Harris powers Sharpe off and then rolls to the side. CJ gets to his feet as Harris gets to his knees. As Sharpe moves towards him, Harris takes him out at the knee with a chopblock that sends CJ to the mat clutching his leg. Harris moves to his feet and watches as Summers checks on Sharpe. Harris moves closer as Sharpe crawls towards his corner. Stepping between him and his partner, Joey pulls CJ up. Sharpe struggles towards his corner again only to have Harris spin him around then hit a standing dropkick to his face that launches him into the corner to collapse in front of Kate who reaches inside for the tag. Sharpe tags in Kate then rolls under the ropes as Kate slides between the bottom and middle ropes. Harris smirks at her and waves her forward. Kate points at Candy Overton who is holding out her hand. Harris backs up and taunts Kate as he does. Standing in front of Candy, he holds out a hand and invites her to tag in. Candy slaps the hand and slips into the ring while Harris moves to the outside.
Simone: This is a familiar situation left over from My Bloody Valentine where these two were in the Bombshell roulette title six pack challenge. I wonder just how Candy feel s about the fact that it is Kate that won the title.
Adams: If you ask me, I don't think that Candy is too happy about it
Simone: How can you tell?
Kate and Candy lock up that Candy turns into a headlock. Kate pushes her off into the ropes only to be dropped with a hard clothesline from Candy who stands over her for a moment then reaches for Kate's arm that she slides into an armbar. Kate rolls to the side tryng to relieve the pressure as Candy tells Summers to check on Steele for her submission. Kate shakes her head violently as she fights to her knees then to her feet. Grabbing Candy's neck, Kate brings it downwards on her knee with a facebreaker that breaks the hold and sends Candy stumbling back, her hand moving to her lips. Candy grabs Summers and pulls him towards her insisting that Kate has caused her to bleed and she keeps putting her hand to her lips then pulling them away. Kate turns away from Candy as she scoffs at the woman's antics. Candy glares at the woman then points telling Summers to disqualify Steele who charges across the ring at Candy who tries to defend herself with a clothesline that Kate ducks. Moving to catch Candy from behind, Kate explodes with a German suplex that sends Candy across the ring. Rolling under the ropes as Kate charges across the ring has Summers getting between the two bombshells to allow Candy to get to her feet. As she does, Kate manages to get around Jacob and as she is reaching for Candy is grabbed by her arm. Candy smirks as she drops to the floor and jerks Kate's arm over the top rope painfully. Cradling her arm to her chest, Kate stumbles back towards Sharpe as Candy rolls under the bottom rope and catches Steele before she is able to tag her partner.
Adams: That armdrop over the top rope had to hurt.
Simone: And it seems to have given Candy Overton the advantage right now.
Candy brings a hard open hand to the face of Kate who stumbles farther from her partner with her hand going to her face. Candy smirks as she moves to follow the woman who strikes out with a spinning heel kick that Candy is able to avoid by ducking. Turning back to reach for Kate once more, Candy is surprised with a quick martial arts kick to the midsection that doubles her over then is surprised with a springboard leg drop on the back of her head by Steele who rolls her over quickly for a pin attempt that only gets a two count. Kate rolls to her feet as Candy quickly crawls over to her corner and tags in Harris once more. Joey motions for the Bombshell roulette to tag in her partner as Kate can be seen to growl before walking towards CJ Sharpe to tag him in.
Simone: I am sure that Kate didn't appreciate that arrogance from Joey Harris but rules are rules and the wrestlers here in Sin City Wrestling can't put their hands on the Bombshells.
Adams: I can though. I don't wrestle here.
Simone: Why don't you try it and see what Christian Underwood says.
Adams: You'd like that wouldn't you? Perv.
Belinda is speechlessly looking at Jason as in the ring, CJ charges across the ring into a jumping knee to the face from Harris who then grabs CJ and pulls him to his feet to pick him up and spin him around. Picking him up, Harris sits him on the top turnbuckle and then climbing behind him, Joey uses a hard forearm to send him hanging into the ring in the tree of woe. Getting up from the mat, Harris looks at Sharpe then moves across the ring only to spin quickly and hit a short running dropkick to the downed Sharpe who collapses from the top rope to slump in the corner. Summers checks on him as Kate distracts Joey by stretching her hand into the ring for a tag as she urges Sharpe to tag her in. Harris watches Kate as CJ gets to his feet and then moves behind Harris with a shake of his head and motions for Harris to turn. When he does, Sharpe hits a roundhouse kick then falls forward into the ropes. Kate reaches inside and tags herself in. CJ glares at her as Summers pushes him to the outside. Kate warily watches Candy who holds her hand out for the tag from Joey who moves across the ring. Candy tags in and then moves across the ring to get into the face of Kate Steele who doesn't back down. The two women begin to trade punches as Kate forces Candy across the ring. Candy manages to fight back with a hard right that Kate is able to shake off but a hard straight punch to the face forces Kate to stagger back with her hands to her face. Candy whips Kate across the ring and catches her with a drop toe hold onto the bottom rope as Hazel is standing right in front of. Candy distracts Jacob Summers as Hazel levels Steele with a hard slap to the face before moving away from the stunned Kate. Candy moves to pull her opponent up by the hair and whips her across the ring once more, jumping and catching her with a springboard dropkick that sends her into the corner. Backing herself up, Candy is surprised when Harris tags himself into the match.
Adams: Did you see that...he tagged himself in by touching a bombshell. Will that mean a disqualification and a pink slip since he put his hand on a bombshell?
Simone: Jason, this is a mixed tag team match. He has to be able to tag with his partner.
Candy glares at Harris and motions at the downed Kate Steele. The pair of them can be seen arguing as Kate slowly makes her way to her corner. Candy slides out of the ring then quickly turns to tag herself back in. Smirking she climbs back into the ring as Harris can't believe it. Summers pushes Harris out of the ring as Kate tags in Sharpe. The two of them watch the ensuing argument from across the ring as Harris slips between the ropes. Candy turns to move towards Kate but is stopped by Jacob who had seen the tag between Steele and Sharpe. As she is pushed back by Summers, Harris jumps on the bottom rope to lean across and tag himself in. Candy glares once more as Joey moves out of range of a tag, a smile on his face.
Simone: From the looks of it, Candy isn't too happy with Joey Harris.
Joey Harris turns toward CJ Sharpe who catches him with a spinning back kick to Joey's midsection that doubles him over. CJ grabs him and putting his leg over the back of Harris' neck, drops him to the canvas with a fameasser. Rolling the man over, Sharpe goes for the pin that Joey is barely able to kick out of. Getting to his feet, Sharpe pulls Harris up and lets him stand in the middle of the ring, backing away enough to hit Harris with the Beheading.
Simone: I think this is it Jason, it doesn't look like Harris will be getting up from that too quickly.
Summers drops to the mat as CJ Sharpe makes the pin.

3!
Summers motions for the bell as Candy stands on the apron and can't believe what is happening. CJ rolls over as Kate gets into the ring. Both have their arms raised.
Justin: The winners of the match and moving on to the next round...CJ Sharpe and Kate Steele!
CJ and Kate leave the ring and head backstage as Candy slides into the ring. Harris is slowly being helped to his feet as Candy moves towards him and gives him a shove in anger. Harris just gives her a look as she rants at him. Finally Candy gives him a hard look up and down then with a vicious smile, kicks Harris between the legs that sends him back to the canvas clutching himself as the camera view goes to backstage.
The camera focuses on the announce team of Jason Adams and Belinda Simone.
Simone: Ladies and gentlemen, we've just been told of some breaking news happening right now...
The lights in the arena dim, as the big screen comes to life. Written in red, the words "New Signing" is seen on the screen.
Adams: We have a new signing! Another is joining our band of whack jobs.
The words fade as a red circle appears on the dark screen, in the top right hand corner, next to the word "live". The darkness comes to light as we see a man with a scruffy beard and long unkempt hair, sitting in the red leather chair.
Adams: Oh my God, that's Alex Rush! He's not a wrestler, he's a rock star.
Simone: The lead singer from the rock band Mister Firecrotch.
Adams: Yeah! I have all his albums! Monkey Nuts is my favourite!
Indeed, Jason is right as Alex Rush, wearing tight black leather pants, with red trim down the side, and a white T-shirt with a faded black and white union jack on the front. Alex scratches his long, messy hair, as a male voice off camera can be heard.
Off Camera: You can start now Alex.
Alex lowers his eyebrows in to a frown.
Alex: Is this the cornflakes advert thing? Cause no offense mate, I prefer a different verity, I prefer the crunchy nut kind.
Off Camera: No Alex, it's about signing with SCW.
A spaced out look covers his face as he bites his lower lip.
Alex: What's that then? Is it like some secret spy oganization like MI5, where I get some like toys, like a pen that's two things, like a secret lazer beam, but more importantly, it's also a pen.
Alex holds his finger up, looking in the direction of the male off camera.
Off Camera: Now, it's the wrestling company from Las Vegas.
Alex taps his chin, looking to his left.
Alex: Cool, cool. When did I sign that then?
Off Camera: Yesterday. Remember, you met with Christian Underwood and you signed a contract?
Alex smiles at the man off camera.
Alex: Are you pulling me leg? This is a joke, right, someone put you up to it, to make me look like a plum, yeah?
Off Camera: No Alex, you met him yesterday, and you signed a contract to wrestle. You've been training to wrestle for months, that's why you haven't been seen about.
Alex: Oh, that's what I was doing? I thought I was just making me fetish game strong with all that spandex riding up me bum.
Alex taps the side of his head.
Alex: Wait, was that fella you're on about. Did he come dressed as Santa Claus?
Off Camera: No...
Alex: Oh good, cause that woulda been weird in February, I mean what freak dresses as Santa Claus in February. Did he come dressed as the easter bunny?
Off Camera: No.
Alex: Are you sure? Cause I remember there was Santa Claus and the easter bunny and the easter bunny was a bird, and they started doing unspeakable things in front of me, the randy, saucy beasts, and then I gave them a round of applause, signed an autograph for them, and went on me merry way.
Alex quickly frowns
Alex: Although that coulda been some weird over the top dream, caused by cheese or that headache pill I took earlier.
The off camera male sighs.
Off Camera: Alex, can you just talk to the fans of SCW and introduce yourself.
Alex: Just a second.
Alex stands up and turns, his back to the camera as he tugs at the back of his leather pants, yanking them down a little to make himself more comfortable. He turns back around and sits in the chair.
Alex: They were going where no man has been before. We can edit that out, right?
Off Camera: We're live Alex!
The off camera man starts to mumble.
Off Camera: I can't believe he just pulled his underwear out of his ass on live TV.
Alex: AH HA!
Alex points at the man.
Alex: Jokes on you mate... I ain't wearing any underwear!
He proudly smiles as he sits back down in the red leather chair.
Off Camera: Ugh! Alex, can you just tell the fans of SCW a funny story so they get to know a bit more about your personality?
He runs his fingers through his long, messy hair before smiling.
Alex: Alright, I got a story. I was out with this old tart right, easier to get in than a church on Sunday...
He quickly stops.
Alex: No, that's not a story you little kiddie winkles wanna hear. I got something else funny for ya. I once woke up with a Starbust stuck to me left cheek, not the cheek on my face, right? And I don't know how it got there. It might have been some old... tart...
He rubs his chin while a thoughtful look crosses his face.
Alex: Come to think of it, I think it was the same old tart from the story I couldn't tell... Anyway...
Off Camera: Alex! For the love of God, just talk to the SCW fans.
A mock look of shock crosses Alex's face as he puts his hand on his chest.
Alex: Well ain't you a moody one today. Who woke you up with a nipple cripple?
Off Camera: You did.
A wide grin crosses his face.
Alex: I know, I just wanted to remind you that I'm the nipple cripple maaaaaaaaaaaaster!
Off Camera: We're live here Alex, just talk to the SCW fans.
Alex steps off the chair, moving his face towards the camera, his face blocking out most of the surroundings around him.
Alex: I bet you people are now regretting buying the HD TV now. I bet you can see the little hairs up me nose and everything.
Off Camera: Alex!
Alex: Alright, alright, keep ya shirt on... Seriously, keep it on, cause you have pigeon tits.
Alex moves back to the chair, sitting down and crossing his right leg over his left.
Alex: Hello, I'm Alex and I'm an alc... Wait, wrong meeting. Hellooooooooooooo SCW!
Alex raises his right hand with the devil horn sign.
Alex: Me name's Alex Rush and this fella just told me I signed for SCW to wrestle for you all. That's good news, innit? I've been working really hard with his fella to train me to become this wrestler guy, so I can try and win a belt, even though it won't fit any of me pants because the straps too big obviously, but I worked me nuts off, really have, I'm sure me left one is smaller than when I first started, but anyway, I will be appearing on a show soon.
Off Camera: Next week.
Alex: Oh, sorry mate, can't do that, I got this party boat, where I invited everyone I like.
Off Camera: You haven't invited me.
A smile crosses Alex's face.
Alex: Funny that.
A bigger grin crosses his face.
Alex: Right, yeah, maybe next week if I can drag me perky rear end away from the party boat. Seems like I'm now an SCW fella, so yeah, I'll see you soon. Until then, go buy me albums, and if you see some dolly bird that ya like and ya too shy to go say hello, just walk over and motorboat those bangers, it's a great ice breaker. See you soon SCW people, rock on!
Alex throws up the devil horns hand gesture again as the camera fades.
Adams: SCW has it's own rockstar, this should be interesting.
The crowd inside Coussoulis Arena have been rocking with all the action. They are chanting "This is awesome" as Belinda and Jason are still excited about tonight.
Simone: The first round of the Blast From The Past tournament as been incredible.
Adams: Yes it has and I'm sure next will be even more incredible.
Right as Jason finishes his statement, "Las Vegas" strikes up as the loud cheers into a roaring boo from the rowdy bunch of individuals. Gold lights float around the arena as Travis Nathaniel Andrews walks out onto the stage with a microphone in his hand.
Simone: I was hoping we wouldn't hear from this jack off.
Adams: Oh come on, Travis has every right to be here. I'm sure he is upset about My Bloody Valentine.
The crowd begins to chant "Loser" towards Travis as he smirks at them. He then raises the microphone up to his lips.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: Cute, real fucking cute. Everyone is drinking the same hater juice. Do you think it bothers me that you assholes show me no respect? Do you think those in the back are finally getting to me? I always find it funny when you people boo the hell out of me but are the first ones in line at a meet and greet.
The crowd's boos start to get louder as Travis is walking down the ramp.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: My Bloody Valentine was a disaster and it's all because of me. I wanted so badly to make The New Supremacy mean something again but I guess that didn't matter. Both Drake Green and Sean Jackson abandoned our plan so they can fulfill some selfish desire. I should thank them for finally opening my eyes. After My Bloody Valentine concluded, I flew my private plane out to New Zealand.
Small cheers for New Zealand echoes as Travis shakes his head and walks up the steel ring steps.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: While in New Zealand, one thought was running through my head. This is my time. This is my show now. I don't need a fucking championship to be the man around here. Championships are a good accomplishment but let's be real. Championships are just trinkets we use to establish our self worth. Luckily for me, I don't need championships to establish that. I just need the jeers from you idiots to keep me going. I'll even take every word of disrespect from those in the back. Why? Because it means I'm doing something right. The fact my name is on your lips makes me better than you.
The crowd continues to jeer him as he smiles and enters the ring.
Travis Nathaniel Andrews: Keep it coming, all you are doing to proving my point. This time last year, I debuted in the BFTP Tournament. My tag partner was the lovely Melody Grace. Yes, we did get passed Steve Ramone and Delia in our first round match. However we couldn't get passed round two. This year, I am paired with that metal loving chick named Jessie Salco. Jessie may not be my favorite bombshell but I'd rather be paired with her than anyone else. She and I will be the unlikely duo to move into the final round. I know people will find me a joke but go on keep laughing. All of you can keep laughing like that's all you got to do. Because I plan on shutting you all up with my performance. Haters can hate but in the end they'll have to just DEAL WITH IT.
"Las Vegas" strikes back up as Travis tosses the microphone down onto the canvas. He shows off his smirk as the camera cuts away.
"Unbelievable" by EMF plays across the sound system and out onto the stage steps Sin City Wrestling's co-owner, Christian Underwood. Upon sight of the fan favorite boss of SCW, the crowd cheers heartily as Christian smiles.
Adams: What do you think Christian is out here for?
Simone: All we can do is wait and find out.
As the cheers continue, Christian cups a hand to his ear to listen, and then extends his hand and beckons the fans to cheer lore and louder and they happily oblige him. After several moments, Christian holds a hand up to ease the symphony of positive good will in his direction, and he holds the house mic up so that he can speak.
Christian: You know, if you people keep greeting me like that, I just might start to get a bit of an ego.
The fans cheer and he places a hand over his heart and makes a goofy showing of being bashful before continuing.
Christian: I've always prided Mark and myself on ensuring that SCW was always more about the wrestling and less about the idle in-ring chatter that certain 'other promotions' are notorious for. I won't say their names but their initials are WWE...
Adams: Oh that was subtle.
Christian: So that we can hurry this along and get back to the reason you all came here tonight, you know -- the wrestling, I'm here to announce the next four matches in the Blast From the Past IV opening round!
Cheers!
Adams: All right!
Christian: So far this year's tournament has been a rousing success, even with some of our Superstars and Bombshells not showing for their promos...
Christian turns and looks into the camera directly before turning back to address the fans.
Christian: So ladies, gentlemen, children, and arm chair critics, here are the next four matches in the Blast From the Past IV tournament!
Christian holds his hand up, directing everyone's attention to the SCW-Tron above the stage. The screen comes to life and the following four images appear....
VS 
VS 
VS 
VS 
Christian: These last four matches in the opening round will take place next week, in the Eureka Municipal Auditorium in Eureka, California! Now, back to the action!
"Unbelievable" kicks up again and Christian vanishes back behind the curtains.
Justin: The following contest is our main event match and it is a first round Blast from the Past tournament match!!
"I pledge allegience to the flag of The Fearless Champion Steve Ramone"
"I want what's coming to me."
"So what's coming to you?"
"The world chico, and everything in it"
Following the quote "I Want The World And Everything In It" by Battle Beast begins to play over the PA System as Steve comes out from the back air guitaring on the championship belt whilst doing his best Malcolm Young impression, Cyrus and Andreas join him on stage as he reaches the middle of the ramp and holds the title high before making his way down to the ring singing along to the song as he does, once he reaches the ringside area he slides the belt into the ring before rolling in and picking it back up and holding it high whilst his bodyguards join him.
Justin: The first wrestler to come down the aisle!! Stands in at 6'0 and weighs in at 200 pounds!! Hailing from Queens, New York!! Steve Ramone!!!
The lights in the arena go black as "Freak Like Me" by Halestorm plays over the sound system. Red strobe lights shine around and thick smoke fills the entrance. A figure emerges from behind the curtain, dressed in a baggy black hoodie. The crowd in attendance gives off a mixed reaction of boos and cheers as the hooded figure moves to the music before she pulls the hood back revealing herself to be Alexis Edwards. She ignores the fans, pretending as though she can???t hear them at all before she dashes her way down to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope. She jumps up to her feet, raising her right hand in the air as she unzips her hoodie with her left then removes it, tossing it across the ring where it lands on the top rope. She makes her way over to one of the corner turnbuckles as her music dies down and she stares towards the backstage curtain, waiting for her opponent.
Justin: And his tag team partner!! Standing in at 5'3 and weighs in at 120 pounds!! Hailing from The Streets!! Alexis Edwards!!!
The opening guitar riff to "Blame it on the Boom Boom" by Black Stone Cherry starts to play. The riff repeats itself once more. A British flag appears on the screen, waving with a gray filter and the lyrics kick in. The familiar face of Ben Jordan appears on the screen. The fans instantly burst in to cheers as a smiling Ben Jordan appears at the top of the ramp, dressed in a white shorts with matching knee pads and boots, with the SCW Tag Team championship belt around his waist. Ben looks around the crowd, his trademark smile on his face. He turns his head to the left, winking at the crowd before slowly walking down the ramp. He moves to the left, running his hand along the fans, high fiving as many as possible, before moving to the right and doing the same. Ben stops in front of a fan with a phone and moves next to them, allowing them to take a selfie with the smiling Englishman
Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From London, England, weighing 220 pounds, he is one half of the SCW Tag Team champions -- Ben Jordan!
He stands outside the ring, looking up at ring, before moving to the steps and jumping up them. He ducks down and in to the ring through the middle and top rope and spins in to the corner, climbing on the top rope and raising his hands. He quickly jumps down and moves towards the center of the ring, looking at his opponents.
A fanfare plays, and a drumbeat hits, and you hear a voice say 3 words...
ARE YOU READY??!!
The camera flashes around the crowd, as Demi Lovato's Confident plays over the PA, panning in and out, stopping just long enough to get glimpses of excited people in the crowd.
The camera keeps moving until it stops finally on the stage where Raynin stands, legs spread slightly, looking out over the audience with a confident smirk. She nods slowly, then raises her fist high in the air. She brings her fist down into a salute, then starts to walk down the ramp towards the ring.
She jumps onto the apron, and climbs the turnbuckle, and lifts her fist in the air. She brings her hand down and salutes the crowd before she hops down into the ring and goes to another turnbuckle climbs it and throws her fist in the air, then brings it down in a salute. She jumps down into the ring and leans back on the turnbuckle, staring at her opponents.
Justin: And his tag team partner!! Standing in at 5'9 and weighs in at 145 pounds!! Hailing from Austin, Texas!!! Raynin!!!!!!
Simone: These two teams have been facing each other in singles as well as other type of matches!! They know each other very well, I'm curious what team will function well the best!!
Adams: I got to say, I like the chances of the team with a champion on it's side.
Simone: Thanks captain obvious!!
DING DING DING
The bell rings as Raynin and Alexis start the match, circling each other as they lock arms. Raynin drives series of knees in the midsection of Alexis, before pushing her in the ropes and blast her with series of knife edge chops. She then delivers an Irish Whip before following her up towards the other corner and levels Alexis with a running clothesline, this causes her to drop down in the corner. There Raynin puts her boot to the throat as she starts to choke her out until Drew Patton reaches the count of four and then breaks the choke. She turns her attention to the ref for a few moments before we see her eye twitch and turns her attention back to Alexis, where she screams before running towards Alexis as she wants to drive her knee in her face. Just in time Alexis rolls out of the ring, causing Raynin to stop in her tracks just moments before hitting the turnbuckles with her knee. We can see Ben look on before tagging himself in, causing Raynin to turn around towards him and almost blast him in the face but decides not to as it is her tag team partner. Ramone runs in the ring at the same time as Ben has entered it. Both men trade blows before Ben gets the upper hand and hiptosses Ramone in the middle of the ring before running towards him and kick Ramone in the spine.
Adams: Oh man!! I could feel it over here!!! That kick was massive!!!
Ben grabs Ramone by the arms as he pulls them back while driving his knee in the back of Ramone. Trying to ground the risk taker with some scientific moves as on the outside we see Alexis was making her way to her corner. Where she looks on at Raynin, who is occupied with herself, wanting to get in the ring and attack Ramone as her eye starts to twitch again.
Simone: Uh oh..., I wonder who will come out next!!!
Ramone slowly attempts to get to his feet, still being held by the arms as Ben has his head between Ramone's shoulder blades before Ramone manages to reverse the move and push Ben into the ropes. Just as Ben comes off the ropes, he is met by a spinning heel kick from the Roulette champion. Causing Ben to stagger backwards and into a tag from Raynin, who is growling before spitting on the concrete floor before even getting in the ring.
Adams: Uh oh.. I'm not sure if Alexis wants to face her in that state!!!
Alexis Edwards rolls her eyes, clearly not impressed as she gets in the ring when Raynin charges in on her. Alexis sidesteps as Raynin hits shoulder first into the steel ring post and leans on the turnbuckles for leverage as she holds on to her shoulder. Drew Patton checks on her if she is still willing to continue as Raynin grabs hold of his face with her hand of her good arm and pushes him away.
Simone: That's a clear message!!
Alexis grabs the arm and starts to drive her knee into the shoulder blade before pulling on the arm backwards in an unnatural fashion. Trying to put more damage on the shoulder as Drew is using his five count as Alexis breaks free at the count of four. She then slides to the outside as she grabs the arm and pulls it around the ring post before putting her foot in the corner and pulls hard on the arm.
Drew: One!! Two!! Three!! Four!!!
Alexis let's go off the hold, hearing the warnings from Drew without actually paying any attention to what he is saying. She climbs the steel steps and slowly enters the ring as she breaks the ten count that Drew had on her. She grabs Raynin by the arm and pulls her away from the steel ring post before going for a scoop slam and drives Rayning hard on the canvas with her arm tied behind her back. Causing Raynin to scream hard in an animalistic way.
Adams: Is she screaming because of the pain?? Or because of the characteristic mood she is in??
Simone: I'm sure that mostly it is because of the pain!!
Alexis pulls the arm behind Raynin's head and puts pressure on the arm with one hand clawing on the painful position. While driving her knee into the injured shoulder area as Drew is trying to reason with Raynin. Who is screaming no very hard as she seems to have changed back to her normal self. Raynin manages to roll over to a sitting position on her side, allowing her to get a foot back on the canvas and slowly getting to her feet as she pushes Alexis into a neutral corner. There Drew admonishes Alexis to break the hold that she has on Raynin as she finally lets go. Raynin wants to whip Alexis into the other corner, but Alexis reverses and grabs her into a standing Belly to Belly suplex before going for a cover.
Drew: One!! Two!! Thr....
The count is stopped as Raynin executes a kick out at the final moment. Alexis pulls her up to her feet as she pulls her by the hair. She sets Raynin up for a Suplex, but Raynin blocks it by putting her leg between that of Alexis and then executes one of her own. Causing her to hold on to her painful shoulder as she is crawling over towards Ben's corner for a very important tag. Alexis shrugs off the supplex as she looks around and notices Raynin her crawling towards her corner. She jumps towards Raynin and grabs her boot as she tries with all of her might not to let her tag in her partner. Raynin kicks backwards and hits Alexis as she manages to tag in Ben at the final moment. Causing both superstars to run in the ring and assault each other. In the meantime it is Raynin and Alexis who have gotten to the outside of the ring, Raynin leaning against the ring apron for leverage, while holding on to her painful arm. Where Alexis is charging in on Raynin and goes for a spear as Raynin sidesteps. Causing Alexis to hit the steel ring steps with a loud thud, hitting her head hard as the fans are starting to do a holy shit chant!!!
Simone: Oh wow!! Can we see that again in a replay??
We see a slowmotion replay, where Raynin sidesteps at the final moment. Causing Alexis to hit the steps hard and is not moving. Meanwhile in the ring, we see Ramone duck a clothesline and hits a spinning heel kick from the ropes and right in the jaw of Ben Jordan. Staggering into the ropes, we see Ramone run to the other side of the ring and then runs towards Ben as he executes a leapfrog over Ben as he ducks at the final moment. Forcing Ramone to do some last moment changes in the air as he lands with both feet onto the middle rope. With the speed that he has created, he jumps backwards and executes a moonsault. Where he grabs Ben's head at the moment that he is turn around in the air to land and executes a DDT in the middle of the ring. Ben's head bounces off the canvas from the impact and is easy pickings for a cover for Ramone.
Simone: Did you just see that???
Adams: Good God!! This kid is amazing!!!
We hear the crowd start to chant that this is awesome as we see a replay of the execution of the moves that Ramone just pulled off in mid air. He hooks the leg of Ben, who is seemingly out cold as Drew starts to do the three count.
Drew: One!!! Two!! Thr....
Suddenly Drew pats Ramone on the back, telling him he stopped the three count as he has noticed that Ben's hand is underneath the bottom rope. Ramone can't believe it, as he sees that Ben is out cold. Ramone grabs Ben by the head and pulls him up to his feet, he stands in the corner as he is about to lift him up in the air for a suplex as Raynin tags herself in unaware of Ramone as he drops the suplex and covers Ben. Drew tells him what happened as Raynin has gotten back to the outside and grabs Alexis and executes a Snap Suplex on the concrete floor, causing Alexis to sit up in pure pain. Ramone on the other hand is still incapable of believing that he didn't got the win due to the hand underneath the bottom rope and the tag of Raynin. He slides out of the ring and drags Ben with him to the outside, where he bashes him face first into the steel ring post. There we see Raynin roll Alexis back in the ring and follows her back in the ring. There she sets Alexis up for a Suplex as she hoists her in the air. But suddenly she falls backwards with Alexis on top of her.
Simone: What the??
On the outside, we see that Ramone pulls her feet from underneath her. Causing her to lose balance and fall backwards as Alexis falls on top of her for a pinning combination. On the outside we see Ramone hold on to the feet of Raynin as she is incapable of kicking out at the count of three. Drew calls for the bell as he awards the victory to Ramone and Alexis Edwards.
Justin: The winners of this match!!! The team of Steve Ramone!! And Alexis Edwards!!!!
Ramone celebrates on the outside as Alexis slides out of the ring, looking back at Raynin. Who is screaming out of agony as she has turned back into the angry version of herself.
Simone: Wow! What a shock! People put Ben and Raynin as one of the favorites, but we have seen an unexpected early exit.
Adams: And the unfriendly team of Steve Ramone and Alexis Edwards march on.
Simone: That's all we've got time for this week! Make sure you join us next week when the Blast From The Past tournament continues!
THANK YOU! To Chris, Mark, Gerrit, The Lord MK, Dustin, Jenny, Annie, James Tuscini, Fizz, Casey and to everyone who roleplayed this week
