The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Provident Credit Union Event Center in San Jose, 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...
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around the building, at all of the fans filling the rows of seats around the building itself. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
Justin: Please welcome to the stage -- the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers and applauds as a spotlight shines center stage, and illuminates Amanda Hugginkiss. She is dressed in a sequined gown with long, cascading hair. The beat of the music starts, as she snaps her fingers along to it.
Amanda: Never know how much I want one
Make it pretty
I would lie down on the table
Everybody want a hot twat
It's something that I'm set on doing
Now man listen when I drink too much and I yell
My plastic surgeon outta sign
That's what this is right at home in the spotlight
Where's my man meat
Never know how much I'd spend
When I look down into my panties
I wanna see a warm and fuzzy new friend
I want a beaver
So I can keep on the light
Beaver!
My new kitty
Wet and pink and hopefully tight
Let them cut my right down the front
I cannot wait until I'm able
To slide a penis in and out of my c***
I need a beaver
It makes a lady glamorous
But I don't want no ugly front butt
I want a picture perfect p**s
And you aint' gonna change my mind
Someday soon my man will be screwing
Me in my new vagina
Not the behind
Shiny new beaver
BEAVER with low mileage
Breathe in that new car smell
A work of art as fine as this
It's such a great designer vagina
That I feel guilty when I'm taking a piss
I love my beaver
Beaver give it kisses dont'cha worry it doesn't bite
I miss my weiner
What a lousy way to learn
Beaver I kept my receipt
Hope it's not too late to return
The song stops and the spotlight fades slowly as the crowd applauds and cheers, whistles and laughs at the performance.
Simone: Hello to the SCW Universe, and on behalf of Jason Adams and myself, welcome to this very special edition of Climax Control!
Adams: New Blood Rising! So many new Superstars and Bombshells are making their debuts this week!
Simone: Post-High Stakes XI signings are always at their peak, as everyone sees what we are all about at the Grand Prix of Professional Wrestling and they need to be a part!
Adams: And we start the night off with TWO brand new Bombshells when Chloe Bentonville takes on the newest graduate of the GO Gym, Adrienne Beaufort! All the way from France!
Simone: Up next, it's rare two new Superstars debut against one another but there is a history here and the higher ups wanted in on it when they booked Brandon Hendrix against Alexander Raven!
Adams: Then we have two young and hungry Superstars in the ring with Lincoln Daniels going up against Miles 'Milo' Kasey!
Simone: The new attitude and outlook of Dani Weston will face a critical test this week when she opposes the 'Agent of Mayhem' Johanna Krieger!
Adams: Kate Steele is back (again) and her first match back is against the Roulette Champion, Krystal Wolfe in a non-title match!
Simone: If there is one thing Mark Ward and Christian Underwood are known for, it's providing dream matches and Match of the Year candidates at a moments notice. Never has that fact been more evident than tonight's match between Myra Rivers and Roxi Johnson!
Adams: Not just them but the fellas, too! There's been some hard feelings on Twitter between Levi Russow and the World Champion Alex Jones! The only way they're going to settle things is inside the ring, tonight! Two of the most decorated ring vets in the business!
Simone: Tonight's Main Event is a direct result of what occurred at High Stakes XI when Senor Vinnie and 'Bulldog' Bill Barnhart suffered a brutal beat down at the hands of Mac Bane and his new team, 'Godly' Ken Davison, Supreme Machine and Dominick Strife! Now we will see what happens when the odds are a little more even as Vinnie and Bill face the Beast Supreme Machine and Dominick Strife in tag team action! All this and more on SCW Climax Control!
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see one of tonight's newcomers "The French Rose" Adrienne Beaufort trying to decide on what to get from a vending machine.
Adrienne: So many choices, so little time.
The French Bombshell mutters to herself as she looks over the snacks contained within the vending machine, it's at this point that Adrienne hears footsteps approaching her but doesn't look up.
Adrienne: Katie, is that you? I'll be with you in a second.
Adrienne calls out assuming that it's her manager but when she doesn't get a response she finally looks up.
Adrienne: Can I help you?
Standing there is the drummer from the Gem Stones band Emerald McAdams. The now purple haired vixen stands there excitedly as she holds her debit card proudly.
Emerald: Och! Sorry I act like a big eejit sometimes. Sometimes I stand around and Dinnae what I want as I look at these stupid machines. Although I think I could go for a mountain dew and something that has tatties in it.
Emerald keeps her eyes locked on the French Rose before she giggles.
Emerald: Oops. I know I can get carried away with my Scottish accent. I often forget that not everyone sounds like I do. I simply was trying to get a sugar rush so I can keep up with one of my fellow band member's excitement. In order to deal with her I need to get a lot of caffeine in me, and I don't drink coffee.
Emerald sees that she is talking to much as she smiles at the other woman.
Emerald: Don't mind me. The name is Emerald McAdams. I drum for Diamond Steele's band "The Gem Stones" it's a pleasure to meet ya
Adrienne looks over the Scottish woman for a second before nodding and making her choice.
Adrienne: My name is Adrienne Beaufort, I'm making my SCW debut tonight, not to mention my wrestling debut.
Adrienne comments before paying for a drink for herself and looking over the rest of the options for a second.
Adrienne: Scotland hmmm? I can't say I've ever been there, I spent most of my time growing up back home in France or here in the US when I moved to train at the Go Gym.
Adrienne says before turning to face Emerald completely.
Adrienne: You said you were a drummer in a band, what kind of music do you play?
Emerald smiles as she looks over the French Woman.
Emerald: I guess you could say it's mostly punk although the way Diamond can be it ranges. Sometimes it can have a pop sound, it can be pop punk. We even go as far as metal but I guess that's from our lead vocalist spending so much time being the guitarist for Griffin Hawkins Hair metal band. We play a variety.
Emerald nods her head.
Emerald: Go Gym?! I guess that would make us rivals. I have been training at Jet City South, and in the past there was a rivalry between the two. I rather not get caught up in any of that though. I bet your match is going to be amazing tonight. No... It's going to be better than that. It just might be...
It's at this moment when an Aqua haired woman walks into the shot. It's Ruby Steele and she crosses her arms looking at Emerald.
Ruby: OUTRAGEOUS!!! Emerald what are you doing talking to her?! We need to go watch Diamond. She's back in action tonight and we have to see her take out a GO GYM loser! Let's get going. Sapphire is looking for you.
Ruby looks at the French Rose from head to toe before walking away. Emerald moves her eyes back to the French one.
Emerald: I am so sorry for that... Don't mind her. She's just a tad eccentric. Anyway, it's been a pleasure meeting you, and maybe later we can follow up on this conversation. Perhaps grab a snack at the hotel lobby or something, I know it sounds better than visiting a vending machine.
Adrienne: Yeah, Krystal told me about her, and Daniel apparently still has nightmares from teaming with her for Blast from the Past.
Adrienne chuckles to herself before opening her drink.
Adrienne: Getting something to eat at the hotel bar sounds good, the food at the hotel is decent but I know I can cook better food for myself.
Adrienne adds before taking a sip from her drink.
Adrienne: My dad is a professional chef back home in France, he's been in the food service industry for most of his adult life, he made sure I know how to cook well before I moved stateside.
Emerald: I'll have to try your cooking some time, I'm off in any case.
Emerald walks off as the scene fades.
The scene opens backstage where we see Jessie Salco arriving at the arena, she seems to still be banged up from the Chamber of Extreme Match against Myra Rivers at High Stakes XI, but the Heavy Metal Bombshell seems ready for action despite not being in action tonight.
Simone: Jessie waged a brutal war against Myra Rivers in the Chamber of Extreme Match but ultimately Myra came out on top, breaking Jessie's undefeated streak in thatch type in the process.
Adams: Which begs the question, what's next for Jessie?
Almost in answer to that question Jessie is approached by Pussy Willow.
Pussy: Jessie, I'm surprised that you're here after that brutal Chamber of Extreme Match.
Jessie: I've only ever missed on Climax Control due to injury and that was when I was recovering from the Tai Pei Death Match against Celeste North a few years ago, I'm sure you remember it? When I had to induct my good friend and tag team partner Amy Santino into the Hall of Fame from a hospital bed?
Pussy: Well, yes, that was a brutal affair, even so, with that defeat what's next for you?
Jessie can only shrug.
Jessie: Who the fuck knows? There's only a few Climax Controls left in the year, and tonight is mostly about the new guys and gals coming into the promotion, I'll be keeping a close eye on the opener for sure.
Pussy: Adrienne Beaufort vs. Chloe Benton? Why?
Jessie: They might be raw rookies being thrown to the wolves, but when I look at those two I see the future of the Bombshell division, Adrienne more so because whilst she did look like a major dork in her first ever promo she still came off as more confident than Chloe did, which isn't really saying much.
Pussy: What about you? You have any plans for next week?
Jessie: Not really, guess I'll have to wait and see what the bosses have in store for me.
Jessie walks off as the scene fades.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control 316 where we see Ms. Rocky Mountains standing by ready for an interview.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: SCW has several new talents debuting for the promotion tonight and it is my pleasure to be the first to interview one of them! She is the latest graduate from the famed Go Gym to debut for this promotion and comes all the way from Paris, France, please welcome "The French Rose" Adrienne Beaufort and her manager Katie Storms!
The camera pans over to show the two young women, Adrienne is ready for action as she is in her wrestling gear whilst Katie is dressed casually.
Adrienne: Happy to be here Rocky!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Glad to hear it! Now Adrienne, tonight you are facing fellow newcomer Chloe Benton in your debut match, has your training prepared you for a competitor like Chloe?
Adrienne shakes her head sadly.
Adrienne: No, not really, me and Chloe are both in our rookie years but whilst I've been training for years to get to this point, Chloe's such a novice that she doesn't even have a wrestling style, that would be bad enough but, well, did you catch her radio interview?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yes, I listened to it on the way to the arena, never thought I'd feel so sorry for someone facing their debut match.
Adrienne: Oui and that is what I was talking about when I tweeted about wanting to build her up! If she's this nervous going into a match against me, how will she fare against the likes of Andrea Hernandez? Or Alicia Lukas? I wasn't as nasty as I could've been towards her because that's not who I am! My parents raised me better than that, but others won't have the same courtesy as me and I can only hope that I can get her confidence up before it's too late.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Even though she's your first opponent in Sin City Wrestling?
Adrienne: When I trained at the Go Gym I was taught to respect my opponents unless they made it personal, a lesson certain other graduates seem to have forgotten.......
Katie puts a hand on the younger woman's shoulder and whispers in her ear for a few seconds, Adrienne nods before turning her attention back to Rocky.
Adrienne: I won't name names, but I think you know who I'm talking about.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I have a feeling I do, any last words for Chloe before I move onto your manager?
Adrienne: I described Chloe as a sweetheart in my promo and that opinion hasn't changed since I listened to that interview, but once that bell rings it's all business and she's going to have to learn to adapt to my wrestling style or fall to the side! This rose may be beautiful whilst in bloom, but she should beware of my sharp thorns, and she'll find that out the hard way tonight!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Now Katie, the last we heard from you, it was your update on Caleb's condition since his defence, any news?
Katie: There isn't much to update on to be honest, Caleb is back in Vegas recuperating with Lemmy by his side but it's going to be a long time before he's cleared for action, if ever.
Katie explains before sharing a fist bump with Adrienne.
Katie: I took over his contract when it became clear that he wouldn't be able to provide the income, but I don't feel ready enough to wrestle despite being in the same Go Gym class as Adrienne, me and Caleb talked over the situation with Gabriel and Adrienne was one of his recommendations for taking over his contract.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: He didn't suggest one of the male students?
Adrienne: The male students are good, but me and Caitlin, the other person he suggested, are on another level, Caitlin will be in SCW before you know it but until then I am the first member of the Go Gym 2021 class to debut on SCW.
Katie: I realize that this is a lot of pressure to put on an eighteen year old girl's shoulders but Gabriel wouldn't have recommended Adrienne if he didn't think she was ready! Are there any other questions before she goes out for her debut match?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Just one, Amber Ryan commented on the new blood coming in and implied that you should be worried about her, any idea what she meant?
Adrienne seems to get worried at the mention of Amber's name, but Katie shakes her head.
Katie: I don't know what the current World Bombshell Champion could possibly want with two young women who are just starting out in the company, but if she does make her presence known we'll address it then and there! Until then, Adrienne has her first match to prepare for!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Off course, and good luck in your debut Adrienne!
Adrienne seems to get her confidence back before the two women walk off and the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... already in the ring... hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada... Chloe Benton.
Chloe steps forward and waves to the fans before stepping back and warms up.
Justin: and her opponent...
The intro to "Unleashed" by Epica hits the speakers and the lights dim before Adrienne steps out alongside Katie.
Justin: Introducing first, from Paris. France and being accompanied by Katie Storms, "The French Rose" Adrienne Beaufort!
The two women share a high five before they make their way down the ramp occasionally slapping hands with fans before Adrienne rolls into the ring, Katie takes up her position at ringside whilst Adrienne poses for the fans.
The ref moves forwards and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...
DING DING DING!
Benton and Beaufort circle the ring before momentarily moving in and shake hands before backing up as they both contemplate their moves. Benton takes a little extra time, as Beaufort rushes in towards Benton but Benton ducks and dodges past Beaufort and grabs Beaufort around the waist and drags her down to the mat for a quick and early pin attempt...
Simone: Both ladies looking nervous as they both show appreciation toward each other before they kick off the action.
Adams: And things start off quickly as Beaufort rushes in as she tries to catch Bento off guard, but it's actually the other way round and Benton grabs Beaufort and attempts a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Benton stays on her feet as Beaufort is quickly back to her feet as she looks unimpressed at Benton, who shrugs as they then circle the ring once more before stopping as they hesitate for a moment before moving in and again Benton ducks and dodges and grabs Beaufort around the waist before locking in a headlock and then leaps up and wraps her legs around Beaufort's waist. Beaufort is a little surprised at first as she takes a step forward before slowly dropping her shoulder, which Benton's grip disappears, and her feet are back on the mat but the headlock still in place. Beauford drives elbows into Benton's stomach, which forces Benton to release the headlock and Beaufort pushes Benton away towards the ropes, who bounces off them and as she comes back Beaufort flattens herself to the mat, which Benton leaps over Beaufort. Benton hits the ropes and Beaufort is back to her feet and leaps over the returning Benton. Benton hits the ropes again and she comes back Beaufort takes a wild swing, but Benton sees it and blocks the pending attack before countering and leaps up trapping one arm around her legs and holding onto her other arm and she leans back.
Adams: Benton only gets a two count from that but it's a good start to her career here in SCW.
Simone: Beaufort didn't look too happy there but they circle the ring once more, as again things look nervy between the two but again Beaufort tries to rush in and again Benton is ready and she dodges past Beaufort to lock in a headlock and then wraps her legs around her waist.
Adams: Beaufort shrugs Benton off and begins a short fight back, as things speed up as Benton hits the ropes and dodges Beaufort and vice versa before Benton dodges a wild swing from Beaufort and she leaps up and traps Beaufort.
Beaufort grimaces as all of Benton's weight hurts her back, but Beaufort grits her teeth before shifting Benton forward onto her shoulders as she stumbles a little as she then looks to shift Benton onto her shoulders for a power bomb but as she does Benton counters with a headscissors takedown. Beaufort goes across the ring, as Benton quickly climbs back to her feet as she brandishes a small smile before rushing over to Beaufort who is back to her feet and then kicks Beaufort in the thigh.
Simone: Benton is doing well here... as Beaufort struggles in this early exchange. As Bento leans back putting pressure on Beaufort's back.
Adams: But it doesn't last long and Beaufort comes back and shifts Benton onto her shoulder as looks to hit a power bomb or something but Benson counters into a head scissors.
Beaufort goes to respond back with a kick of her own but Benton catches Beaufort's leg, Benton raises her own leg and places it against Beaufort's chest and drives her backwards down onto the mat. Benton climbs back to her feet and turns and bounces off the ropes and then hits a senton onto Beaufort and then goes for a cover...
Simone: Beaufort is a little dazed from that as Benton is back to her feet and rushes her and kicks her in the thigh. Beaufort tries to respond back with a kick of her ow but Benton grabs Beaufort's foot and responds back by driving Beaufort backwards with a boot of her own.
Adams: With Beaufort down to the mat, Benton then hits a senton and goes for a pin...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout...
Simone: Two count again from Benton.
Beaufort kicks out, as Benton climbs to her feet as Beaufort stays down catching her breath. Benton approaches Beaufort and pulls her up to her feet, where she pushes her into the ropes before whipping her across the ring and Beaufort bounces off the ropes opposite and as she comes back, Benson does a wild swing, which Beaufort dodges and bounces off the ropes again and as she comes back she hits a sling blade.
Adams: It's all Benton but she gets too confident, and she is punished with a sling blade from Beaufort.
Benton crawls away a little and into a corner and uses the ropes to get to her feet, while Beaufort climbs to her and she backs up in the corner before rushing in and hits a cartwheel into Corner Clothesline into Benton. Benton drops down into a seated position in the corner and Beaufort grabs Benton by the hair and pulls her up to her feet before driving knee's into Benton's torso before giving her a shove back into the corner and follows up with kicks to Benton legs and then follows that with a series of punches to the torso, which Benton tries to block. Beaufort grabs Benton arm and drags her out from the corner before hitting a judo throw.
Simone: Beaufort with perhaps that little more experience, turns things around and Benton is now on the backfoot.
Beaufort pulls Benton up once more and hits another judo throw before going for a cover...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout...
Adams: Nice judo throws and Beaufort goes for a pin but Benton kicks out.
Benton kicks out, as Beaufort shakes her head as she climbs to her feet as she bends down to grab Benton, however, Benton grabs Beaufort and rolls her up...
ONE!
TWO!
TH... kickout!
Beaufort kicks out and quickly rolls away, as Benton looks to the ref who informs her it was close, but she kicked out. Beaufort climbs to her feet as Benton holding her shoulder and arm climbs to her feet, as she stumbles towards Beaufort. She and Beaufort move in and they lock up, but Benton breaks first and she shoves Beaufort backwards and then charges at Beaufort and hits a Lou Thesz press where she follows up with forearm shots but Beaufort pushes her off and quickly gets back to her feet.
Simone: Benton tries for a surprise roll up... and she comes close, but Beaufort kicks out.
Adams: They lock up again... but Benton breaks free and tries to get the upper hand with a press and forearm shots but Beaufort kicks her off.
Benton rushes back at Beaufort but hits a high elbow to Benton and Benton stumbles back holding her face and Beaufort leaps up and hits a standing dropkick, that sends Benton down to the mat. Beaufort climbs back to her feet and moves to Benton, where she sits her up. Beaufort unleashes a couple of kicks to Benton's chest before following up with the Thorn's Edge (Shining Wizard}
Simone: Benton puts up a valiant fight... but Beaufort experience in martial arts has given her the upper hand and she hits the Thorn's edge and goes for the pin...
Beaufort then goes for a cover...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Adams: Beaufort wins.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Adrienne Beaufort.
Beaufort music hit's over the p.a as she climbs off Benton and the ref raises her arm in victory.
Simone: Impressive debut from Beaufort as well as Benton. But Benton has a long way to go.
The scene switches to an empty room and in the center of it sets a pedestal with a replica of the SCW Bombshell World Championship on top of it.
Female Voice: Well....here we are.
We can hear heels clicking on the tile floor as if it is circling around the target.
Female Voice: I don't think anyone even suspected that we'd get here so soon. Soon though in just a few weeks, Amber Ryan has her next challenger. That challenger is tough as nails and loves to throw a monkey wrench into the grand scheme of things.
The screen shows Bella Madison at High Stakes, victorious. Through that Bella steps through, looking a little older, a little wiser and with a smirk.
Bella Madison: Amber, you are the one that sits atop our world right now, and you are hard as hell to beat. I even went as far as comparing this to MY Mt. Everest. You said it yourself...even Everest has been conquered. And you're right. Even Everest can be conquered.
A smirk appears on her face for a moment as she glances over at the replica on the pedestal.
Bella Madison: The covenant prize of the Bombshell's Championship is on the line and I hope that you are looking forward to this as much as I am. I respect you Amber. I hope that that is a two way street. Come Sunday, December 19th, on the Christmas Clash edition of Climax Control, I will bring everything I got. You can do the same OR do the worst thing you possibly can....
Bella turns around and holds out her arms.
Bella Madison: And underestimate me.
Glancing over her shoulder, her blue eyes sparkle bright, she smirks.
Bella Madison: No tricks. Just me. But please, take my advice....do NOT underestimate me.
She looks one more time and reaches over to the belt but stops herself short of touching it. You hear a small laugh as she pulls away and walks off the screen.
Climax Control is barely underway before the familiar stomping intro of 'Dust And Bone' fills the arena, the cacophonous noise tangled with the myriad of mixed reactions for the appearance of the Bombshells World Champion, 'The Distorted Angel' Amber Ryan. For those in the know, it's been a rough few weeks for the reigning champion, and yet in spite of the rumor mills and undercurrent of chaos that seems to follow in her wake- the redhead wears an unsettling smile. Almost distant, hazy and yet... a smile nonetheless.
Adams: And the champ is in the house!
Simone: With a spring in her step tonight.
Amber gives the nearest camera a wink and a little shake with her free hand while the other rests on the strap of the World title still gleaming on her shoulder. Safe to say, it looks pretty at home by now, a sight many of the SCW legion have grown used to despite whatever their opinion might be of the person holding it. Stepping up onto the apron, Amber slips between the ropes with little fanfare- dressed for talking instead of throwing down, ripped jeans and one of her own t-shirts cause everyone knows the merch game is still real- even on top.
Requesting a mic, Amber paces the ring as the crowd reaction ebbs and flows as she goes to speak- as positive and in admiration of what is closing in on a record breaking reign as they are opposed to the way she conducts business. In awe as they are in fear of her vicious efficiency and disposition. Bringing the mic up to speak, another swell of crowd noises causes her to pause as the music finally fades out leaving just the arguable queen of the Bombshells division and her kingdom before her.
Amber: Time after time, we keep doing this...
Another crowd swell of recognition as well as a couple of small chants of 'you deserve it' and 'thank you Amber' before they are overcome with the weighty silence.
Amber: Night after night. Match after match- I'm not sure how many more ways I can keep telling everyone... When you think you're good enough, when you think you want this belt more than me- then by all means come to try and prove it.
Pacing thoughtfully, an air of casual confidence radiates as the smile still seems almost unnatural across the otherwise usually impassive Amber.
Amber: That being said... I've come to realize a few things recently.
In floods the seriousness, the more familiar cocky half smile.
Amber: Things I've somehow managed to overlook. I suppose I've been a little preoccupied recently- see, like it or not, I've spent a lot of time building this title back to a level of prestige. I've spent a lot of time rebuilding the reputation of this division from the ground up. Now I won't stand here and pretend that makes me likeable nor do I expect it to... I won't delude myself into thinking that anyone back there wants to understand or appreciate that everything I've done has always been for the benefit of the belt on my shoulder...
A quick tap on the face plate that gleamed under the lights. Shiny. Proud. A world title worth fighting for, worth killing for if your name was akin to a force of nature.
Amber: See, after High Stakes I had this moment of clarity. An epiphany I suppose, while I was watching the show back... Now, I like to think I pride myself on giving opportunities. Everyone who has come calling, I've received with open arms before putting them back out on their ass. Every match type, every stipulation- everyone who thought they would be the one to do what no one else had... I've carried as much of this division as I possibly can...
Her pacing stops, as she dead eyes the camera as though the thought is finally amounting in it's inevitable trainwreck.
Amber: ... and then I get backstage. I get to shows and week after fucking week, and I keep seeing Bombshells that are content with filling chairs at catering, they accept that their glass ceiling is curtain jerking and pre-show nothings. After all the work I've put in, I can't help but feel a little disgusted that so many are willing to sit on the coattails of everyone else and get their free ride into SCW infamy.
Amber moved towards the camera, leaning against the top rope as though trying to stare through the soul of anyone hanging on her words.
Amber: I won't lie... I'm pretty fucking done with allowing others to skirt by without paying their dues. With accepting mediocrity in a division known for it's excellence, in a company that is renowned for featuring some of the greatest female talent in the industry.
A small head tilt, and Amber's tone became deliberate, each syllable venomous.
Amber: So here's whats gong to fucking happen...
Simone: Say what?
Adams: What?
Simone: I mean... nevermind.
Amber: As of tonight? No. More. Passengers.
Pushing off the ropes, the pacing became more frenetic as though the rising fervour of the crowd upon realizing what might be coming somehow siphoned through her first.
Amber: If you've been looking for a sign- let this be it... Step up and do better. I'm putting Darwinism to work ladies. You can either start finding some passion and a fucking backbone, start actualyl working to carry your weight, start wanting to be better... or I start putting you all on the fucking shelf. One. By One.
Each word fell heavily, lead weighted.
Amber: No longer does anyone get to just fly under the radar and earn a paycheck off someone else's back- if you ever think you got slighted and never got your shot... if you think you deserve better than the place you're in... if you think for a second that you could do better if you just got that little spark... consider this your chance to prove it.
Throwing her arms out to the side, the belt resting on her shoulder as she stood like the divisions ultimate pariah, staring down the world that dared to come for her.
Amber: As for the rest of you... yeah, you know who you are. All of those big names with big reputations talking a game beyond their means- let's be real... you had your shot. Every opportunity to do better and you didn't, so I'm no longer gonna stand here and keep rewarding failure to learn a simple lesson. Whether you fight your way to me, or I tear my way through to you... I suppose we shall see.
Unsure, some of the crowd murmured trying to make sense of what the champion was asking. Others, who got it buzzed quietly excited- perhaps for the opportunity to see something relatively unheard of- others for the potential massacres. Calling out the midcard and openers seemed absurd from the Bombshells World Champion, a violent call to arms instead of being passive and pensive. However from the sick smile on the champions face- it was clear she was very clear on what she wanted to prove.
Anyone could do better, given the chance... so why not make it happen?
Amber: ... and if no one from those middling masses, from the lowly bottom of the barrels feels inclined to change their ways. Know that I will come calling. I will take each one of you by the hand and I will drag you from the shadows, up to the di
ying heights before tossing you off the fucking edge and back where you came from... No more games. No more fucking around and accepting less. Earn your place... step up. Or get stepped on."Allowing the mic to fall from her hand, everyone seemed shell-shocked for a moment. An open challenge to anyone who hadn't received their supposed due, to everyone who thought they could do better. Be better with just a shot... As 'Dust and Bone' roared back through the arena, Amber slid beneath the bottom rope with title in hand and unsettling smile plastered back across her features- speaking directly to the camera that she'd given a little rousing to on the way in...
Amber: I've got the spotlight, I've got the belt... come and fucking get it.
Before disappearing with a certain familiar swagger up the ramp and beyond the curtain.
Jacob Summers is in the ring with Brandon Hendrix
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...Introducing first...Brandon Hendrix
Adams: Tonight that man in the ring is debuting here in SCW and let's get back to Justin for the introduction of the opponent for Brandon
Justin: And his opponent...
As all the lights dim, blue and red lights begin to flicker on the stage, images of ravens flying appearing on the screen. 'Ladies and Gentleman' as these words fill the arena a loud bang of pyro is joined with blinding white lights. These flicker rapidly for a few moments, 'because the devil has my throat,' as these words of the song flow out, out steps Alexander Raven into the centre of the stage. He gazes across the crowd, pulling his cloak tightly around his shoulders, his eyes opened wide a slight smile tugging at his lips. The flashing off the lights stops. 'I am the powers that be!' in sync with these lines he throws his hands up, basking in the reaction of the crowd, beginning to slowly walk down the ramp. He strolls towards the ring leisurely, crossing his arms across his chest, head tilted back, soaking in the world around him. Slowly he begins to ascend the stairs to the left of the ramp, once in the ring, spinning his way to the centre of the ring, dropping to his knees. He hunches over and places his fists on the canvas. 'I am the alpha! and the omega!' as soon as these words come out, he lifts himself backwards slightly, the cloak slipping from his shoulders as he extends his arms to the sky, staring upwards, soaking everything in once again. Slowly he raises to his feet, pushing his cloak from the ring slowly with his foot.
Justin: He is from Melbourne Australia, Alexander Raven.
Justin leaves the ring as Jacob Summers motions for both men to move into the center of the ring.
Simone: Tonight is a night of debuts and lets get to this one.
Adams: I think that Jacob heard you...he is motioning for the bell to get this night started.
DING DING DING!
Brandon and Alexander move to the middle of the ring where Jacob motions and talks to the two of them calling for a clean match. As the ring bell is heard, the two men begin to circle before locking up with a collar and elbow tie up. Brandon manages to turn the hold into a side headlock that he uses to ground Raven who is powered down to one knee before he surges up and then pushes him into the ropes. Hendrix bounds off the ropes and catches a leaping Raven who attempted a lou thesz press. Shaking Raven back and forth, Hendrix uses the control to flipping Alexander over with a belly to belly suplex. Alexander arches in pain as Brandon pushes himself upward to rest on his heels as he looks to Summers who shakes his head. Brandon rises to his feet as Raven moves towards the ropes and into the corner. Using the ropes, Raven pulls himself up and turns to see Hendrix charging towards him. Using the help of the ropes, Raven leaps upward and Brandon goes into the corner shoulder first. Raven catches the body of Brandon and pulls him out of the corner and into a suplex that sends him across the ring on his back.
Adams: Trading suplexes this early in the match is something we rarely see Belinda.
Brandon gets to his feet as does Raven. The two men charge towards each other and take each other down with a clothesline. Both roll towards the ropes as Alexander rises quickly to charge at Brandon and takes him down with a slingblade. Hendrix rolls to his hands and knees and when Alexander moves towards him, Brandon gets to his feet and stops Raven with a right hand. Alexander answers with a roundhouse. The pair begin to trade rights and lefts. Brandon's clubbing blows begin to stagger Alexander who backs away towards the corner. Hendrix follows him in and then shoves Alexander into the corner where Brandon turns to use elbows back and forth into the head of Raven who covers in an attempt to protect his head. Summers calls on Hendrix to leave the corner and allow Alexander back into the middle of the ring. Brandon moves into the center of the ring and plays to the crowd with a smile. He turns back as Alexander Raven has leapt onto the ropes and hits a springboard elbow that rocks Hendrix backwards. Raven uses a thrust kick to knock Brandon to the mat. Catching the head of of Hendrix, Alexander uses a facewasher boot on the man.
Simone: That is definitely going to leave a mark.
Brandon screams in pain as Alexander pulls him up and then hits an exploder suplex. He rises as Brandon fights the pain in his neck. Raven kicks him straight and then hits a standing elbow drop on the prone Hendrix who clutches at his chest. Raven gets to his feet and then reaches down for Brandon and pulling him to his feet, whips him across to the ropes. Hendrix rebounds off the ropes into a lou thesz press from Alexander who sits on the chest of Brandon and begin to drop hard right hands on the downed Hendrix. Summers warns him to release Brandon. Alexander stands and moves back as Jacob checks on Brandon who is rising slowly. As he gets to one knee, Alexander rushes over with an attempted shining wizard but Hendrix ducks under the kick. Raven is offset as Brandon rushes up to begin to beat him towards the ropes. Alexander tries to protect himself and Hendrix is able to push him towards the corner. With Raven in the corner, Hendrix is able to grab the back of his head and then leap up to hit an awkward monkey flip that has Raven landing on his feet. He is able to back away enough to drop and roll to the outside where he looks for something to help him as Brandon drops and rolls out to join him. Alexander moves around the ring and rolls back under the ropes. Hendrix follows him into the ring where Raven hits another standing elbow drop on the lower back of Hendrix.
Adams: This match is back and forth and I can't tell you who is going to win.
Simone: Well we definitely have two very good wrestlers in this match then Jason.
Hendrix reaches to his back as he rolls on the mat in pain. Alexander moves towards him intent on getting the pin but Brandon is able to roll away from Raven and out of the ring. As Alexander moves closer to the ropes, Brandon reaches under the ropes and pulls Raven off his feet. Dragging him by the leg, he pulls Alexander to the corner and then he moves the legs of Raven around each side of the ringpost and then putting his foot on the steel, he yanks on the feet of Raven which pulls him against the unforgiving steel. Clutching himself, Raven is defenseless as Brandon once more grabs a leg and reaches for the other. Alexander tries to prevent him from grabbing it but is unsuccessful. Seeing the grin on Brandon's face, Alexander pulls his legs towards him and drives Brandon face first into the steel. Grabbing at his face, Hendrix staggers away as Raven pulls himself into the ring and backs away from the corner. Gingerly getting to his feet, Raven struggles to move and loosen the pain from his legs. Brandon pulls his hand away to see that a small cut has been opened on his face. Angered he charges toward the ring and slides under the ropes only to be met with a baseball slide that sends him out again.
Simone: If he keeps doing things like that Jason, all he is going to do is anger Brandon Hendrix.
Brandon gets to his feet and slams his hands on the apron before reaching up to the top rope and pulling him onto the ring apron. Alexander swings at the head of Hendrix who blocks it then grabs the head of Raven and hangs him over the top rope which slingshots him into the middle of the ring. Hendrix rolls into the ring as Alexander straightens up. Hendrix charges towards him with bad intentions as Raven ducks under a clothesline. Straightening up, Alexander uses a thrust kick on the throat of a turning Brandon Hendrix that has him staggering backwards. Raven follows him and kicks him in the midsection. With Hendrix doubled over, Alexander uses a standing elbow drop on the back of Brandon then pulls his arms into a lock with his own. Raven spins him over and then pulls him upwards into the Raven's spine. Rushing a few steps, Alexander drops him to the mat. Brandon bounces off the mat and then is rolled over onto his stomach. Raven spins and then crawls towards the downed Hendrix and rolls him over to his back and then catches the legs to roll Brandon up for the pin.
Simone: The Raven's spine.
Jacob drops and begins the count.
ONE!
Adams: What a debut and what a move from Alexander Raven.
TWO!
Adams: There is no movement from Brandon Hendrix
Simone: And Jacob is about to count the three.
THREE!
Adams: And that is that Belinda.
Jacob points to the timekeeper as Alexander Raven releases the legs of Brandon and rises to his feet.
Simone: Tonight's winner successfully won their debut is...
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Alexander Raven!
Alexander rushes towards the ropes and climbs to hold up his arm in victory as Jacob checks on a slowly rolling Brandon Hendrix who slips under the bottom rope to lean against the ring apron. With his hand clutching the back of his neck, Hendrix heads up the ramp while Alexander continues to celebrate in the ring.
Adams: What a debut for both of these wrestlers Belinda.
Simone: Congratulations to Alexander Raven on his first win in SCW.
Alexander stands on the mat looking over the fans before he leaves the ring to head backstage.
The cameras open up to show a room decorated to the nines. Pink streamers, balloons, and the number 1 all over the place. There were tables set up with pink tablecloths, one table had cans of soda and bottles of juice on it, another had baggies of chips and other snacks. The third table had a huge 3 tier pink and white cake with a big 1 on top. In the middle of the room, Candy looked around happily
Candy: This is perfect! Now all the nice SCW people can stop by and wish Ruby a happy birthday. I hope nothing bad happens!
She looks over to Ruby in her highchair amd smiles
"Saviors" by Seether begins to play and the four men come to the stage together. They stand side by side with none of them being more forward than the other. A show of solidarity and unity for a common cause. They slowly make their way towards the ring, oblivious of the fan reaction as the boo birds begin to sing.
"Godly" Ken Davison steps forward, pulling a microphone from the inside of his robes.
GKD: Let me begin by saying that right off the bat, I did EXACTLY what I said I was going to do to Levi Russow. Sin City Wrestling should recognize the GKD, "Godly" Ken Davison as their Rookie of the Year, Wrestler of the Year, and Man of the Year because I am going to be the only wrestler on this roster, man, woman, or child, that is going to be able to say that they didn't lose a match in 2021.
Davison smiles smugly at the camera, taking the time to let the crowd boo him.
GKD: That having been said, it should be no surprise to anyone with half a brain. After all, I am the "Living God of Professional Wrestling." However, I am not a singular god, as those with Christian beliefs may have assumed I was claiming to be. This is the Parthenon. This is Olympus and I am not the only God on this mountain. Sin City Wrestling should look upon us and realize exactly how deep the shit they are standing in actually is. You can call this The Reckoning. You can call this The End Times. You can call this Ragnarok. The name means nothing because the result will be the same.
Davison hands the microphone to Supreme Machine who takes it after staring at it for a moment.
SuMa: Those who know us must wonder why we are here. Those who don't know wonder who we are. Both questions are valid. Many know us only as a lone wolf. A predator who goes wherever our path of destruction takes us. But that is not all we are. It is not the first time we have co-existed with those who stand at our level. The stronger you are, the stronger those who wish to oppose you are. Four apex predators joining forces to unleash hell on anyone foolish enough to stand in our way.
SuMa stands unnervingly still, only his eyes moving as he scans his surroundings before continuing.
SuMa: Bane. Strife. Davison. Those three alone could exert their will on anyone they choose. We... we are here should a force arise that challenges them. We... are the nuclear option. The ultimate solution. We are Supreme Machine. Destruction Personified. And those who do not know who we are... will know soon.
The 6'9'' beast hands the microphone to Dominick Strife, the youngest member of the group.
Dom Strife: Hey, what's up? How are y'all doing tonight? Good? Great. I hope so. If you don't mind I'd like to tell y'all a bit of a story, but to be honest if I started telling it right here, right now, I'd probably be standing here all night and ain't nobody want that so...
Dom smirks in the direction of the hard camera as he brushes back his jet black hair.
Dom Strife: Listen, all you need to know for right now is that I've been sitting at home working on myself and minding my own business waiting for someone or some company to call and offer me another shot at the fighting game. But eyy, no one did. No one person or even one promotion out there really had the balls to hire the Natural Born Thriller... No one but this man. This man right here. Mac Bane.
Dom points over to Mac and gives him a pat on the shoulder.
Dom Strife: Now let me get one thing straight with y'all, this ain't sour grapes because I know fine wine takes time and that's just life. Sometimes you just gotta wait it out for the right opportunity to present itself and choose the moment to strike. But whatever business you fellas in the back think that you have with Mac, you gotta understand, this man had my back when no one else did. He's the one that picked up that phone to call me. So I'm going to have his back, through the thick and the thin. Just like I'm going to have Godly's back and the Supreme Machine's backs too. We're more than just business associates. These men are my friends. And If you want to get to any of the men standing before you in this ring you're going to have to get through me first. For some of you, that may seem easy, but we'll find out just how easy it is when it's time to put our gloves up. You might not respect me now, but you will.
Dominick hands the microphone to Mac
Mac Bane: There is always a reason for what I do. I knew that Vinnie and Bill would attack me after the match to determine a new number one contender. How did I know that? That's simple, Vinnie had no chance of winning. Everyone knew that when the match was booked.
The boos begin raining down again as Mac disrespects his opponents.
Mac Bane: The counter attack was premeditated, the four of us talked about it right after the match was announced. So, to answer the question of why. Have you ever wondered why some of your Sin City Legends are so angry? People like J2H, Ben Jordan, Kris Ryans. Maybe not Kris but the problem is the mediocrity in this company at every level.
More heat from the crowd on Mac as he smiles and absorbs it.
Mac Bane: Vinnie, Bill, Hilton, Colby, and the list goes on and on. The elite players here don't seem to have an interest in making this place better. Only to wallow in their own arrogance. They sit in the back, pulling their collective puds and think about their glory days. The days when they were champions. Even your world champion, who could have been recruiting for this company, has sat on his ass and done nothing.
The crowd's boos turn to silence as Mac continues.
Mac Bane: I knew you couldn't maintain it, good job. I don't blame ownership, they can only do so much. They have been trying to attract attention for the company but have failed. So, I took matters into my own hands. I warned you all before that I would light a fire under peoples asses. High stakes was your wake up call. I told you that I would be the catalyst for change around here. Your so-called heroes are too busy patting themselves on the back. So, we as a group just became the Saviors of Sin City.
The crowd seems to have regained its voice and begins cussing at the group and giving them the thumbs down.
Mac Bane: We aren't the heroes you wanted but we are definitely the heroes you fucking deserve.
Mac drops the microphone and the group exits the ring and heads back up the ramp, just as they arrived. In unison and without fear.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...!
A video package starts playing on the screen as "Make Room (Pettidee Remix)" suddenly blasts through the sound system. Blue and green lights start to float around the arena as Lincoln Daniels steps through the curtain with his wife Zania right by his side. Lincoln takes one look at the audience before holding his arms out wide. A small set of pyro goes off behind him as they slowly make their way down the ramp.
Justin: Making his way down the aisle, being accompanied to the ring by Zania Daniels, from Valdosta, Georgia, he stands six feet two inches tall. He weighs two hundred and thirty three pounds. He is "Mr. Incredible" Lincoln Daniels!
Lincoln gets half way down the ramp before leaving his wife's side and sliding into the ring. He stands on the far turnbuckle while holding his arms out wide while mouthing out towards the audience.
Justin: And his opponent...!
"Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat.
Justin: From Manchester in the United Kingdom! Weighing two hundred and fifteen pounds! Miles! "Milo"! Kasey!
He bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand spring boarding backwards into a superhero pose as the fans go crazy!
Referee Dawn Barnes pauses as she checks both men over and then signals for the opening bell.
DING DING DING!
Adams: Oh man, this is going to be GREAT! I used to love being involved in high flying matches myself and these two are two of the best high flyers SCW has!
Simone: Both are lightning quick and experienced technical wrestlers. This match may very well steal the show.
Miles and Lincoln emerge from their corners and briefly circle the perimeter of the ring before moving in. Miles raises one hand for an invitation, and Lincoln obliges, interlocking fingers for the start of a test of strength. Lincoln then changes tactics quickly and twists Miles's arm into an arm wringer, then ducks behind him in a standing hammerlock. Miles winces as Lincoln wrenches his arm clear up his back, almost forcing him to touch the back of his head. Miles looks to duck into the hold in order to reverse it, but Lincoln catches him by the head for a snapmare takedown and he grabs him in a rear chin lock, only to have Miles reverse that and pin him face-down on the canvas with a hammerlock of his own.
Adams: You know what they say about payback!
Simone: Both of these young men are leading candidates when Roulette championship opportunities are brought up in conversation. Whether taking to the air or wrestling on the mat, they feel at home either way.
Lincoln begins to bring himself to his knees, then reaches behind and snapmares Miles over his shoulder into a rear chin lock, but Miles quickly ducks into the hold and again has him held with an extended wrist lock. Lincoln rolls backwards and does a kip up, quickly reversing the hold and trapping Kasey in the extended wrist lock. Lincoln then ducks under the arm and performs a Northern Lights takedown and into a short-arm scissors on the mat.
Simone: Very smooth, very even exchange of holds we're seeing right now.
Adams: For now. Wait until these lads take to the sky!
Miles counters this hold with a head scissors but straight away, Lincoln kicks out and both men are right on their feet! Miles sends Lincoln into the ropes and catches him with a Japanese arm drag! Miles then moves in quickly but finds himself being thrown over by Lincoln with an arm drag of him own! Both men are up and they both throw dropkicks but both miss! They land and leap up and the crowd on hand are applauding their display with enthusiasm!
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Cheers and applause as Lincoln sends Miles into the ropes but the Irish whip is reversed! Miles catches him for a Tilt-A-Whirl but Lincoln lands on his feet! Lincoln throws a dropkick but Miles ducks! Lincoln returns to his feet and Miles attempts a roundhouse wheel kick but Lincoln ducks under the blow and counters with a fast sunset flip!
ONE!
TWO!
Miles kicks out!
Miles is up and Lincoln strikes with a knife edge chop, stopping Miles and knocking him back against the ropes! Lincoln moves in and Miles comes right back with a European uppercut that sends Lincoln into a tailspin on his feet!
Adams: See? NOW they're getting down to business!
Miles sends Lincoln into the corner and he jumps in to bring Daniels out with a monkey flip, but Lincoln holds onto his legs for a bridging pin!
ONE!
TWO!
Miles rolls through so he has Lincoln pinned with his knees on his shoulders!
ONE!
TWO!
Lincoln kicks out!
Simone: These two are going for the pin at every opportunity!
Adams: And they're doing it so fast they keep almost catching the other by surprise!
Miles takes control and goes to send Lincoln into the corner but its reversed! Miles jumps onto the middle turnbuckle first, then the top! He then leaps back with a corkscrew body press but Lincoln leaves his own feet and catches him midair with a dropkick to the midsection! This act alone has the crowd on its feet!
Adams: The timing of that dropkick was bloody brilliant!
Simone: And now I dare say Lincoln Daniels is in firm control of this match!
Lincoln pulls Miles up from behind and lifts him up and over into a bridging German suplex!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Miles kicks out!
Lincoln drags Miles up to his feet but Miles suddenly fights back with stinging left and rights but this is stopped quickly by a haymaker thrown by Daniels! Lincoln Irish whips Miles into the corner and comes in at full speed, but Miles catches him with a back body drop out onto the apron! Lincoln lands on his feet on the apron! Miles turns around and throws a forearm but Lincoln blocks it and slams his head into the corner, then delivers a standing kick to the back of his head! The blow sends Miles staggering out and down to one knee. Lincoln then springs up onto the top of the corner and looks to the fans - but that split second is all it takes for Miles to fight back! He is on his feet and runs right up the corner and brings Lincoln flying off with a diving Hurricanrana! The crowd is again on its collective feet!
Crowd: SCW! HOLY SHIT! SCW! HOLY SHIT!
Adams: Yes indeed! SCW is the shi-!
Simone: Jason!
Now both Miles as well as Lincoln are lying flat on their backs, their bodies glistening and sucking in oxygen!
Simone: The pace these two men have initiated at the very start is finally catching up and taking its toll!
Dawn then begins a count against both men!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
Lincoln rolls over and begins to rise.
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
Miles uses the ropes to drag himself to his feet.
Lincoln gains the advantage first as he lays in a number of right forearm shots to the side of Miles's head. Lincoln then sends him into the corner and runs in at him, but Miles kicks both legs up to greet him the hard way! Lincoln grabs his legs, blocking it and goes for a double axe handle blow down into his exposed midsection but Miles drop his legs and then leaps over him with a sunset flip!
ONE!
TWO!
Lincoln kicks out!
Miles attempts an Irish whip but Lincoln reverses it! Lincoln swings for a clothesline but Miles ducks under and then leaps up onto his shoulders for a victory roll, but Lincoln drops down with his knees on his shoulders and legs under his arms!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Kick out by Miles!
Adams: OHHH Lordy! That was close!
Lincoln kneels in pause, questioning Dawn but she assures him that the count was in fact only two. Lincoln brings Miles up into a front face lock and cradles his leg. He lifts him up for a delayed fisherman suplex, but a shot from Miles allows Lincoln to lose him grip and Kasey drops to his feet behind him! Lincoln spins around and Miles strikes with an Oz cutter!
Simone: Blast From the Past!
Miles with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner! Miles KASEY!!!
Dawn raises Miles' hand as the fans in San Jose cheer him on!
We cut to the locker room of the Gem Stones and it is there where we are able to see Diamond Steele standing in front of a huge vanity mirror. She smiles as she puts on some lip gloss and smacks her lips together. She grins as she runs her hands through her long blonde hair. She takes out a lipstick and smears it on the mirror leaving her mark.
Diamond: GLAMOUR... GLITZ.... Tonight marks the official return of yours truly to the SCW roster, and I have a feeling it is going to be amazing and truly...
Sapphire: UNDERWHELMING... Because let's face it you are awful. If you had the wrestling ability on the level of my guitar skills it would be amazing, but sadly you don't!
Diamond turns her attention over to Sapphire as she crosses her arms looking right into the eyes of the raven haired vixen.
Diamond: For once in your lifetime can you just say something nice?! I just feel like the two of us can never be on the same page. What in the bloody hell is your problem anyway. Tonight is the night when all of the Gem Stones get back on the map. It's the night where we take over this company by storm. It's the night when the world acknowledges that JET CITY SOUTH is the premier school in all of the wrestling land. It's only fitting that it's legacy continues onward with me winning.
Sapphire: Right... And there's always that part of you that will be a disappointment. That part of you that got embarrassed at last year's High Stakes getting submitted by Evie Jordan when you are "supposedly" the mega submission star. This year you lose to a woman who hasn't been in the ring in quite some time in Melody Grace. It's just disappointment after disappointment.
Diamond is fuming as she glares daggers back at Sapphire. She gets in her face as there is tension between the two band members. However before anything can go further the door to the locker room opens up and it is there where we can see the aqua haired Ruby Steele bursting into the room. She screams at the top of her lungs.
Ruby: OMG THIS IS SO OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!
Both Ruby's sister and cousin turn their attention to the woman.
Sapphire: You okay sis?!
Diamond: What's going on...
Ruby: EMERALD WAS FRATERNIZING WITH THE ENEMY!!!
Both women open their eyes in amazement as it isn't long before the purple haired vixen returns to the locker room. She has a soda and a small bag of chips that she got from the vending machine. She has a smile on her lips as Ruby crosses her arms.
Ruby: See that stupid smile on her face?! She can't even hide it!
Diamond raises her eyes in return as she looks at Emerald.
Diamond: Wait what is exactly going on?! I have like the biggest return match ever in my career. This is my chance to really get people talking. We have to be on the same page. Where exactly were you?!
Emerald: Well I was just going to get something from the vending machine and I ran into Adrienne Beaufort. We got to talking and apparently we are going to get something to eat from the hotel bar tonight...
Diamond: You do realize she is from the Go Gym... We are from JET CITY SOUTH... Tonight I face Krystal Wolfe... That does sound like fraternizing with the enemy...
Ruby: EXACTLY WHICH MAKES IT OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Sapphire looks over at her best friend Emerald before looking back at Diamond.
Sapphire: Just relax... You just need to go out there and take care of business tonight. Instead of worrying about what Emerald is doing you just do what you need to do. You want to have big talks about trying to become a Hall of a Famer and a Grand Slam winner?! Go start that journey with a win...
Diamond: Bloody hell woman I will. Just watch what I do to a woman who cries WOLFE tonight... I will knock her down and little red riding Diamond will shine brightly... Watch me.
With that Diamond is all smiles as she exits the room with a grin on her lips.
"I Want It All" by Queen hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued when Matthew Kennedy comes out from the back.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the third ever SCW Roulette Champion "Prime Time" Matthew Kennedy!
Simone: Matthew shocked the world when he appeared at High Stakes XI, and then shocked the world again by announcing that he was returning to SCW as a manager!
Adams: Not just that but he already had a client, our current SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Krystal Wolfe!
Matthew makes his way down the ramp occasionally slapping hands with the fans before he enters the ring and takes the mic from Justin.
Matthew Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen of the SCW Universe, it my pleasure to introduce you all to the reigning SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion! Originally from Adelaide, Australia but now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, please welcome "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!
"When Destinies Align" by Lovebites hits the speakers and once the vocals start Krystal comes out on the entrance ramp ready for action, the title around her waist and being accompanied by Marty McFarge.
Simone: Krystal overcame a lot of obstacles in the last cycle, from Char Kwan using her submission hold to put Azurine Vebbins on the shelf to her good friend Ariana being attacked by Char to get to her but in the end, she retained the title!
Adams: Not to mention the fact that she popped the question to Makayla on that night, it was one of the best nights of her career to be sure and that was after she had already won the Future Star and Most Improved Awards!
Krystal makes her way down to the ringside area before she hops onto the apron, she removes the title from around her waist before holding it above her head and entering the ring where she poses with the title proudly whilst her managers applaud her after Matthew hands her the mic, Krystal rests the title over her shoulder and grins broadly.
Krystal: High Stakes XI, what a fucking night!
Krystal exclaims and the crowd cheers in response as Marty holds up her awards.
Krystal: From winning the Future Star of the Year and Most Improved Awards to retaining the title and making Char Kwan pay for everything she did over the last cycle, it was a hell of a ride, but I can't help but wonder if I'm forgetting something.
Krystal says before deliberately scratching her head with the hand that has her engagement ring on one of its fingers, them she spots it and grins.
Krystal: Oh yeah, I'm getting married in a few months!
Krystal adds before handing the microphone over to Matthew.
Matthew: Ever since I made my return to Sin City Wrestling at High Stakes XI, I've been asked the same question, why? Why now after all this time? Why not just enjoy retirement and open a training school like Krystal's trainers, Gabriel and Odette? Why Krystal and not someone like Amber Ryan, Myra Rivers or Andrea Hernandez if I wanted to manage a woman?
Matthew asks before motioning to Krystal.
Matthew: Potential, THAT'S why! This young lady has only been wrestling for five years, but in the year that she's been on the Bombshell Roster she has done something that not many Bombshells have, she went undefeated for months on end, she won the Roulette Title on her first try and defied everyone's expectations by not only surviving the first defence but turning away seven attempts to take the title from her! She went from someone with one of the worst losing streaks in SCW history to someone who has only lost one match since she earned the opportunity to compete for that title!
Matthew grins broadly as he takes a step back.
Matthew: Krystal has already accomplished so much in her SCW career but with me guiding both her wrestling career and her career as a Twitch Streamer, she will reach heights that she never would have thought possible before! Her Roulette Title reign is just the beginning, Krystal Wolfe IS the future of this company, and my job is to ensure that that that future comes to pass, and it is a job that I am embracing with open arms.
Matthew hands the microphone back to Krystal and she grins.
Simone: He always did like the sound of his own voice.
Adams: He's not wrong though!
Krystal: So, now that you've heard it from the point of view of Matthew, I suppose you want to hear my point of view? Why did I chose Matthew Kennedy of all people? Why didn't I chose Gabriel? Or Odette? Or anyone else from the Go Gym?
Krystal asks before leaning against the ropes.
Krystal: Why not!
Krystal adds as she grins at the camera with Matthew laughing behind her.
Krystal: So, it's that time of the month again, the time that I have to ask the all-important question, who's next?
Krystal asks as she starts pacing around.
Krystal: And just so we're clear, I'm not talking about my match against Kate Steele tonight, for one thing that's a non-title match but I know what could happen if I lose the match tonight, a non-title win over the Bombshell Roulette Champ could mean that she'll set her sights on me and this title, right?
Krystal asks as she pats her Roulette Title.
Krystal: But she won't, I've only lost one match since I won this title but since then it has been business as usual for me and this title! Kate may be a former champion in her own right but when was the last time she held a singles title? It was a while ago, wasn't it? And it'll be a long time before she gets another chance at the title before the record breaking SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion Krystal Wolfe brings the Down Under Thunder.
Krystal backs up to the ropes with Matthew and Marty.
Krystal: And THAT is ready for prime time!
"When Destinies Align" hits the speakers again as Krystal leaves with Matthew and Marty.
Simone: I don't know Jason it seems the success is going to Krystal's head!
Adams: Either that or Matthew and Marty are getting in her ear!
Simone: Tonight, is all about the new blood debuting in SCW but that doesn't mean the old guard aren't seeing action! Coming up next is our second Bombshell match of the night which sees former World Bombshell Champion Dani Weston go one on one with former Bombshell Roulette Champion Johanna Krieger!
Adams: This is Johanna's first match since she unsuccessfully challenged Krystal Wolfe at the Halloween show, heck she was the only participant in that graveyard elimination match to not feature on the card at all and that goes double if we count Char Kwan and Tempest! Dani on the other hand had a great night which ended with her getting the win over Mikah!
Adams: This should be a hard hitting match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Cut Throat by Kittie hits as the lights in the arena go out and a single red spotlight appears on stage, in the centre Johanna Krieger stands there with a black leather jacket over the top.
Justin: Introducing first, from Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany and representing Wolfslair, she is the Agent of Mayhem Johanna Krieger!
She makes her way down to the ring as the spotlight follows her, she slides in the ring and crawls to the corner before staying on her knees with her arms back holding onto the middle rope as the house lights come up.
Simone: As was previously said, Johanna's last match ended in a loss, she is looking to redeem herself tonight.
Adams: And against someone like Weston? A win here could put her back in the title picture!
Justin: And her opponent!
What makes your beautiful, by One Direction slams over the personal address system and without any delay, the black curtains part and out runs Dani Weston. She makes her way to the centre of the stage to look towards the fans, before she starts to walk down the runway. Stopping to smirk at the fans along the way.
Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Daytona Beach, Florida... Daniiiiiiii Weston...
She continues to smirk out to the fans, before she makes her way over towards the ring. Sliding into it under the bottom rope, she leaps up to her feet before her theme song slowly dies off the speaker system.
Simone: Dani has been impressive since her return, but can she keep that momentum going?
Adams: She's only lost once since her return and that was too Andrea Hernandez in the Bombshell Internet Title Tournament, since then she's been on a role!
Jasmine takes a moment to go over the rules with both women and once they nod to indicate that they understand, she calls for the bell.
Simone: This should be a hard hitting affair between two veteran Bombshells.
Adams: Indeed, this isn't like our opener where we threw two rookies to the wolves, Johanna and Dani are proven and tough women!
DING DING DING!
Once the bell rings Johanna and Dani start trading blows almost immediately with neither woman letting up for a second, Jasmine tries to regain some semblance of order in the match, but it soon proves fruitless as the two women are going at it too fiercely, thankfully for Jasmine order is restored in the ring after a few moments but that's only because Johanna and Dani take their brawl to the outside after Dani tries to clothesline Johanna over the ropes and takes them both to the floor.
Simone: This match is off to a wild start, it's hard to tell who will have the advantage here.
Adams: Johanna is a striker and submission artist so on paper this brawl should favour her, but Dani's never been one to give up without a fight!
Jason's prediction ends up coming true as Dani goes to slam Johanna face first into the announcer's table but Johanna puts the breaks on that idea and retaliates by raking Dani's eyes stunning the former World Bombshell Champion long enough for Johanna to roll into the ring and regain her bearings, Dani recovers in time to make it back to the inside of the ring in time for the count of seven but Johanna is waiting for her, stomping away at the former Go Gym Graduate before picking up Dani and hitting her with a German Suplex! Johanna bridges for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Dani kicks out!
Simone: Jason, remind me to ask you for the state lottery numbers the next time we're in Vegas because you just predicted that perfectly!
Adams: I don't know if I have precognitive abilities or not but what I do know is that Johanna is in control and Dani is in trouble!
Johanna shakes her head at the failed pin attempt and sees Dani retreating to a nearby corner and decides to take advantage with a running Cannonball Senton, but Dani has it scouted and rolls out of the way causing Johanna to crash into the turnbuckle back first, Johanna rolls out of the corner and Dani spins her around before driving the German Bombshell down with a Snap DDT in the middle pf the ring! Dani wastes little time in going for a cover and Jasmine is quick to get into position.
ONE!
TWO!
And Johanna kicks out! Dani doesn't lose focus however and heads straight to the top rope clearly having something in mind.
Simone: Dani's looking for a big move here!
Adams: I wouldn't waste time with Johanna though!
Johanna gets to her feet after a few moments and Dani leaps off looking for a High Cross Body, unfortunately for Dani Johanna had it well scouted and ducks down at the last second causing Dani to crash and burn to the matt below, the failed high flying move has clearly winded Dani and Johanna takes advantage of this by dragging her up to her feet, carrying her over to the ropes and tying her up.
Simone: This could be bad for Dani because Johanna has been known to use Muay Style Knee Strikes from that position!
Adams: Hopefully Jasmine intervenes before this gets ugly!
Johanna executes the knee strikes to the helpless Dani despite Jasmine's warnings to her, eventually Jasmine has to threaten Johanna with disqualification if the German Bombshell doesn't let the ref free Dani and she agrees backing off and allowing Jasmine to free Dani from the ring ropes, almost as soon as she does however Johanna gets right back to work executing a snap Suplex and going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
And Dani gets the shoulder up!
Simone: I'm not a fan of Johanna's tactics there but Jasmine's threats of disqualification was really only relevant as long as Dani was caught in the ring ropes!
Adams: Like it or not, Johanna's on a mission to prove the bosses made a mistake by leaving her off the High Stakes XI card!
Johanna choses not to press the issue instead grabbing Dani's leg and locking in a Single Leg Boston Crab! Jasmine gets into position to ask Dani if she wants to submit but Dani promptly refuses as she starts making her way towards the ring ropes to try to break the hold! Eventually Dani makes it and Jasmine starts her four count to try to get Johanna to release the hold which she does on the count of four only to drag Dani back to the middle of the ring and try the submission again but this time Dani kicks Johanna away! Johanna bounces off the opposite ropes and right back into a roll up!
ONE!
TWO!
And Johanna barely kicks out in time! Dani is the first one to her feet and she calls for her finisher!
Simone: It could be time for the Dani-Do-Right!
Adams: If she hits this on Johanna it's over!
Dani picks up Johanna and goes for the Swinging DDT, but Johanna reverses it into the Krieger Clutch!
Simone: Krieger Clutch! Johanna has it locked in!
Adams: Stick a fork in Dani, she's done!
Dani is already fading from the standing position but as soon as Johanna drops down to the ground with the hold it's clear that she's done for the night as she taps!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Johanna Krieger!
Simone: Johanna bounces back with an impressive win over Dani!
Adams: As I said earlier that win could mean big things for Johanna!
Johanna lets go off the hold as soon as the bell rings and celebrates the win whilst Jasmine checks on Dani.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control 316 where we see Candy getting set up for the party for her adopted daughter Ruby.
Adrienne: Hmmm? What's this?
The camera pans over and we see SCW newcomer and Go Gym Graduate "The French Rose" Adrienne Beaufort stumbling upon the party scene, the red-headed Bombshell takes a look around before spotting Candy.
Adrienne: Oh hi, you're Candy, right?
Adrienne asks as she approaches Candy.
Adrienne: My name is Adrienne, I'm one of the new girls who debuted tonight?
Candy looked overly excited to meet a new face.
Candy: That's me!!! Nice to meet you! Welcome to SCW! It's one of the bestest places ever! Almost everyone is super-duper nice!
Candy's eyes gaze over towards her daughter, who is sitting in a high chair with various small pieces of food on the tray that she is happily munching on under the watchful eye of candy's husband, Marcus. Candy's eyes gaze back to Adrienne.
Candy: I'm so glad you could stop bye! Congrats winning your match tonight!
Adrienne: Thanks, opening one of the last shows of the year with my first ever match, no pressure right?
The French Bombshell asks with a nervous laugh before she spots Ruby and Marcus, it's at that point that she puts two and two together.
Adrienne: Oh, this is a party? Is there anything I can help you with? Now my debut match is out of the way.
Adrienne offers as she turns her attention back to Candy. Candy smiles big.
Candy: That's my daughter, Ruby, and my husband, Marcus. Miss Ruby turned 1 on Friday. We had a small party with friends and family, but wanted to do a bigger party for everyone... if you want you could... help me finish blowing up some balloons? She loooooooves balloons sooooo much!
Candy smiles big, hoping she just made a new friend! Adrienne smiles warmly as she gets the idea before Candy directs her to some balloons that haven't been blown up yet and Adrienne grabs the nearest one.
Adrienne: Glad I'm able to help out, anything to takes my mind off how nervous I was heading into my first match, right?
Adrienne asks before blowing into the balloon, getting an idea she sucks in some helium and turns to Ruby.
Adrienne in a high pitched voice: Hey little girl, are you enjoying your birthday?
Ruby smiles at the stranger, babbling a little bit of nonsense, and Adrienne finishes blowing up the balloon.
Candy: Thank you so much! And don't be nervous, you'll did super awesome out there! I remember my first match almost 2 years ago... I was so scared and nervous too. But once you get out there, and the fans cheer... that all melts away
Adrienne: Hopefully I didn't make too much of a fool of myself.
Katie: Adrienne, there you are!
The two women look up and see Katie, Adrienne's manager standing nearby.
Katie: What's going on?
Adrienne: I've just been helping Candy here.
Katie: Helping her with what?
Katie takes a look around and realizes what Adrienne is talking about, she nods as she gets the idea before checking the time.
Katie: You know what? I'll help out too!
Candy: Great! The more the merrier!
The three women get to work as the scene fades.
"Limelight" by Rush begins over the PA and soon enough, Roxi Johnson marches to the ring, a determined look on her face, and very little reaction to the fanfare she receives. She enters the ring, politely taking the microphone from Justin Descent and promptly sits down cross-legged in the ring.
Roxi: I do not, and have not, ever asked for much when it comes to SCW. And anyone back there can tell you that. And maybe, maybe this will fall on deaf ears, but I need to get this off my chest, and it needs to be said. The very last thing I ever truly ASKED for in this company, was to not be included in the Internet championship mini tournament. And before that? The very last thing I asked for, was to take time away, to raise my son, who was a newborn at the time. And that, was 5 years ago.
Roxi pauses, removing hair from her face.
Roxi: I have never gone out of my way to dispute decisions that were made, even if I wasn't a fan. I accepted them, and I have done every single thing asked of me, the entire time I have been here. I have never refused to do anything, and I have done all that was asked, with a smile on my face, and a responsibility to do it, to the best of my abilities.
Roxi glares intently.
Roxi: But, let's get to the point. High Stakes. It didn't go my way, and I'm not going to dispute that. But this means a lot to me, and again if the choice is already made, so be it. And I know, that at the Christmas edition of Climax Control, Bella Madison is getting a Bombshell's championship match, and I am all for it. I am happy for Bella and I wish her the best of luck. But if I have built up any credit or good faith anywhere back there, I am calling it in right now. I don't care if I never get anything ever again. I don't care if this is looked at as looking for a handout. None of that matters to me, because right now, I need this.
Roxi takes a breath, sighing and her voice almost cracks as she speaks again.
Roxi: I want a match, with Amber Ryan for the Bombshell's championship, one on one. I do not care what I have to go through, I don't care about any sort of consequences. I have been patient, I have waited my turn time and time again, so it should be quite clear what this means to me. I want this match. No, as a matter of fact, I NEED this match. I need it, and if I have to come out here, each and every week until it happens, I will. I get that tonight I have to face Myra tonight, and I will give her everything I have. But if I have to make this a formal challenge, I just did. This MUST happen.
Some fans cheer at the passion in Roxi's voice.
Roxi: And if Amber is listening, which is silly of me to say because I know she is, But I want Amber Ryan to look at my face, and look into my eyes, and to understand what this means. I am coming for you Amber. I am going to HUNT you.
Roxi almost starts laughing as she continues.
Roxi: But,I can already see your face, when I said those words. I can see it right now, you are sitting there, and you an inviting this challenge. I know, that you will accept it. I know that you are sitting there right now, and you're warning me right now, that what I am hunting, who I am hunting, is only going to lead me to pain. It's only going to lead me to bad things. You're warning me right now that you I am putting my very life at risk by doing something like this. I know you are. That's good. Because that's what I want.
Roxi stares intently again.
Roxi: I want you to give me all the warnings. I want you to tell me about all the horrible things you plan on doing to me. I want ALL of that. I NEED you to say these things, and tell me that I do not understand what I am asking for. Because you know right now, that I DO know what I'm asking for. I know all that pain like the back of my hand. I KNOW the pain that you can inflict, And I. WANT. MORE.
Roxi gets down on her knees in the ring.
Roxi: I'm BEGGING you. I WANT IT ALL, Amber. If that's what it takes, for me to beat you, then so be it. I want EVERYTHING. Because it's YOU who doesn't understand what this means right now. But someday, somewhere I'm going to stand across from you again. The sooner, the better. If I have to come out here and repeat this very same thing every week until it happens, I will. I don't care. You do not understand this, Amber. I am giving you all the warning you could ask for. You will see me coming. And I will see you, real, real soon.
With that, Roxi stands up, turns and hands the microphone back to Justin, again without fanfare as she leaves.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following Non-Title match is scheduled for one fall to a finish!
Diamond and the Gem Stones begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does we are able to see the likes of the Gem Stones playing on a tron. Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire are all playing various instruments as we are able to see Diamond Steele emerging from the curtain with a microphone in her hand. She sings as loudly as she can to the sound of roaring cheers. Kate smirks as she just sings loudly which results in even more cheers. Diamond 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 who cheers louder than before. She waves at them off as she throws the microphone to the side. She smirks as she opens up a pocket mirror and takes a moment to admire how beautiful her hair is as she waits for the match to begin.
Justin: Currently in the ring! DIAMOND STEELE!!!
"I Want It All" by Queen hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued when Matthew Kennedy comes out from the back.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the third ever SCW Roulette Champion "Prime Time" Matthew Kennedy!
Matthew makes his way down the ramp occasionally slapping hands with the fans before he enters the ring and takes the mic from Justin.
Matthew Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen of the SCW Universe, it my pleasure to introduce you all to the reigning SCW Bombshell Roulette Champion! Originally from Adelaide, Australia but now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada, please welcome "Down Under Thunder" Krystal Wolfe!
"When Destinies Align" by Lovebites hits the speakers and once the vocals start Krystal comes out on the entrance ramp ready for action, the title around her waist and being accompanied by Marty McFarge.
Krystal makes her way down to the ringside area before she hops onto the apron, she removes the title from around her waist before holding it above her head and entering the ring where she poses with the title proudly whilst her managers applaud her after Matthew gives Justin the mic back, Krystal hands the title over to the ref as she prepares for her match.
Referee Drew Patton calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
The two women stand toe to toe in the center of the ring, jawing at each other. The tension builds between the two until they lock up. The two women jockey for position with Krystal getting the upper hand and backing Diamond into the ropes. Diamond swings Krystal around so her back is in the corner. They hold onto the elbow-collar tie-up as they go back and forth along the ropes trying to get the position. Diamond eventually backs gets Krystal into the corner and holds her there until referee Drew Patton makes her release the hold.
Simone: These two are so evenly matched. Whoever wins this match will only do so after they're both at their limits.
Diamond and Krystal circle each other a couple of times before locking up again. This time, Krystal twists Diamond's arm. Diamond rolls through, reversing the hold into an arm wringer of her own. Diamond torques the arm as Krystal holds her shoulder looking for a way to get out of the hold. Krystal sees an opening and grabs Diamond's arm, reversing into another arm wringer. Diamond reverses again, but Krystal quickly pulls her into an arm drag. Both women are back to their feet to the crowd's delight.
Simone: The crowd is really into this match.
Adams: The fans are not really behind Diamond but they would love to see Krystal put her down for the count.
After some more jawing, they lock up again. This time, Diamond pulls Krystal into a side headlock. Krystal attempts to push Diamond's hands over her head, but Diamond clamps down. After a few more moments of struggling, Krystal tries once again to slip out of the hold. This time, Krystal is successful and brings Diamond's arm up to her shoulder with a top wrist lock. Diamond struggles for a moment before jumping and using her momentum to roll Krystal through with an inside scissors. Diamond attempts a cover.
ONE!
Krystal kicks out!
Simone: They are both looking for an opening, but neither one is giving any.
Both women are back to their feet. They circle each other once again, sizing each other up. They lock up and Diamond brings Krystal into a side headlock. She quickly brings Krystal over with a headlock takedown. Diamond holds the headlock. Every time Krystal makes a move to try to escape, Diamond torques down on the hold. After a few attempts, Krystal gets her legs around Diamond's neck and pulls her down with a head scissor. Krystal holds Diamond down with the scissors hold for a moment until Diamond pushes her legs off and hops back up onto her feet.
Simone: Neither one is giving an inch. They both really want this win.
Adams: Of course! If Krystal wins, she's beaten one of the best! If Diamond wins, she has beaten the woman who has the title she held herself!
Krystal gets back to her feet and runs at Diamond who uses her momentum against her, bringing Krystal to the mat with another headlock takedown. Krystal quickly locks Diamond into another scissors. This time, Diamond has to struggle a bit more to get out of the hold. Diamond eventually is able to launch herself into a bridge, pinning Krystal.
ONE!
Krystal pushes Diamond away!
Both women get back to their feet, but Diamond knocks Krystal back to the mat with a clothesline. Krystal springs back to her feet only to be leveled by another Diamond clothesline. This time, Krystal is a little slower getting back up. Once Krystal is to her knees, Diamond runs at her with an shining wizard. Krystal dodges the kick and gets back to her feet. Diamond turns around into a kick to the side of her head that drops her to her knees. Krystal follows up with another kick across the chest that puts Diamond on her back. Krystal makes a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Diamond kicks out!
Krystal pulls Diamond to her feet and tucks her head into a powerbomb position. Diamond lifts Krystal into the air, tossing her over her back and down to the mat with a back body drop. Diamond connects with a leg drop before pulling Krystal back to her feet. Diamond puts Krystal in a front headlock and motions for her finisher.
Simone: Diamond is looking for the Diamond Cutter!
Krystal gets out of the headlock!
Adams: That didn't go as planned for Kate, er - Diamond!
Krystal kicks Diamond in the mid-section and tucks her head between her legs in a powerbomb position.
Simone: Krystal is looking to hit the Down Under Thunderbomb!
Diamond pulls her head free, stumbling back and landing on her bottom.
Adams: That didn't go as planned for Krystal!
Simone: Can you stop that!?
Krystal gets a running start, but Diamond is prepared, ducking out of the way and bringing Krystal down with a school boy pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Krystal kicks out!
Both women reach their feet at the same time. Diamond kicks Krystal in the mid-section and drops her with a vicious DDT!
Simone: That may be the turning point!
Diamond pulls Krystal back to her feet and sets her up for a powerbomb of her own to add insult to injury. Diamond grabs Krystal around the midsection and brings her up to her shoulders. Krystal uses the upward momentum to go back down Diamond's back for a sunset flip!
ONE!
TWO!
Diamond rolls through to escape! Both she and Krystal are on their feet when....!
Adams: Diamond Cutter!
Simone: From out of nowhere!
Diamond with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner! DIAMOND STEELE!!!
Simone: Diamond Steele walks away with a victory over the champion!
Adams: I got a tenner on Diamond now demanding a title shot!
The scene opens to a small aircraft already in flight, the roar of the single propeller and the buzz of the cabin area, sans all of the noise-cancelling of a commercial passenger aircraft stands a familiar figure, complete with helmet-mounted Go-Pro, parachute, harness, and goggles, turning to address the camera as a skydiving instructor stands behind him, hand on his shoulder.
The Dragon: Hi guys this is Mark "The Dragon" Cross hovering around 14,000 feet above San Jose, California right now...and as a former Oakland Raider this place feels a lot like my home-away-from home! Now I haven't been around on Climax Control for a while and I'm sure you've all been missing me, so I figure I might as well...DROP IN!
Lining himself up at the door of the plane, Mark watches for the 3...2...1...JUMP signal from the instructor, throwing himself forward and into freefall.
The Dragon: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeet...
Instructor: Does he know the event centre has a roof over it?
The camera shakes from side-to-side in a resounding 'NO'.
Instructor: That guy's a fucking idot...
An up-and-down motion from the camera, signifying a nod, as we cut to a point-of-view as we cut to a POV camera mounted on The Dragon's helmet, his eyes trained on a watch on his wrist, aside from the odd glance around at his surroundings.
The Dragon: WOO-HOO-HOO! YEAHHHHH! I DON'T KNOW WHY I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!! So they say I have to give it 60 seconds and then rip my chute...and by the way guys...my partner made me sell my boat recently, so check out this new Rolex I just bought with the money instead! Yachtmaster 2, 44m dial, stainless steel case, 100m water resistance...bidirectional rotating bez- oh look it's time!!
At around 2000ft, the Rolex-adorned arm snaps back, pulling on the cord as the sound of fabric unfurling from behind can be heard, followed by a sharp pull upward that drags Mark upright, glancing down as his legs dangle below him, checking out the view.
The Dragon: Now all I need to do is look for the green smoke to guide me into the event centre...there it is...then it's point-and-shoot until I land softly in the ring...wait...hold up...nonono where's the ring...they...they haven't opened the roof for me! Those motherf-
A sudden panic seems to come over The Dragon as we see him beginning to wrestle wildly with the handles.
The Dragon: Wait...this place doesn't have a retractable roof at all does it, they've screwed me!! Where am I gonna land? Oh, and how do you steer this fucking thing!?! Turn turn...come on turn...oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh...
Meanwhile, on the ground...all seems pretty quiet, with most of the fans already in the building, waiting for the show to begin. A Sin City Wrestling banner hangs across the "Event Center - San Jose State University" sign that juts out of the side of the building in a triangle. Aside from the odd passer-by, the only souls around seem to be a couple of SCW's ring techs enjoying one last smoke before
The Dragon: fuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUCK...
BANG - The peace is shattered by Mark "The Dragon" Cross coming down HARD on top of the sign, drawing a collective "OOH" from the SCW staff, his legs dangling from one side of the triangle, while his parachute flops lamely down the other side.
Ring Tech: Dragon!?! Is that you?
The Dragon: Yuuuuuup...how high up am I right now?
Ring Tech: Pretty high, but Karl's gon-
The Dragon: HEEEEEEEEEEELP! HELP! I'm so scared of heights man, I'm so scared of heights!
Ring Tech: Dude you're a pro wrestler chil-
The Dragon: I'm too young to die! I just wanted to make a big entrance! I knew I should have stayed in Flori-
A sudden gust of wind causes the parachute to lift, catch air, take off, and career towards the ground, pulling The Dragon, legs waving wildly as he tries to claw at the sign and keep himself on...to no avail down to the ground...
As striped fabric crashes into the camera, knocking it down, the scene cuts.
Myra Rivers finds herself in a reflective mood in the locker room. She's definitely coming off confident and determined but at the same time, there is some slight worry on her face. She does spot the camera and this, in no way, adds to her worries. She takes a bit of a deep breath before she expresses her thoughts.
Myra: I'm worried... and I'm not talking about me. I know that it wasn't that long ago that I faced Roxi Johnson and it turned out to be a frustrating time for me, especially when Jessie Salco ran up the score. But lately? I've observed Roxi as anything less than her best outside of the ring. Roxi, I know I said some harsh words to you coming into this. But these are words that you needed to hear. You are crumbling under pressure that you have put yourself under. Who knows more about that in this locker room than me? Everyone talks up my reign as Internet Champion, but every single defense, I was putting myself under so much pressure to the point where I was legitimately less than my full best a lot of the time. I broke records and did things with that title when I wasn't at my purest, or at my best. I understand you want to be a world champion again as I do too, but what is with the obsession, Roxi? You weren't like this before. You weren't pressuring yourself like this before. You were never worried about, nor complaining about, waiting X amount of months for a title shot or waiting X amount of time to be a champion again. You were never trashing Crystal left and right acting as if she had no right to be in that triple threat at all. You never went into a match worrying about being at the back of the line. You got pinned at High Stakes. I get that. But to treat this match as ALL OR NOTHING?
I get it. That's how I treated Violent Conduct.
These behaviors of yours recently are very concerning. You have really reminded me of the Myra that I was before I made the change to be the best version of myself again and that's not necessarily a bad thing of course. But just the fact that you've taken it to THIS level where you are not satisfied with anything and where you want people to respect you, where you are declaring who deserves to be in the High Stakes main event and who doesn't, where you're acting as if a loss to me is the most devastating thing in the world and you're going to be back of the line... it REALLY worries me. Maybe it's because I'm empathic or because I've experienced that song and dance before, but let me warn you from that experience... an experience that lasted 10 years for me by the way... that this is not the way, Roxi. I don't know if any of the other Bombshells aside from Amber either aren't seeing what we see or if they are too afraid to say anything to rock the boat, but what I see Roxi, is a slow deterioration. Your abilities are there, but psychologically? You're becoming fragile. It worries me. You weren't like this before. You've done it all in SCW, including things that I wish to do on my own before I call it a wrap with my own wrestling journey. You've done things that once DID make you an object of my envy once upon a time, and suddenly you're going through this obsessive self-destruction?
The drive and the desire to be a world champion? I get that.
The pressure of "win or go home"? I get that. Hell, that was admittedly ME in our last encounter.
Putting pressure on yourself that you don't NEED to put on yourself? Oh I am the EXPERT at that!
Roxi, I'm not at a crossroads confidence wise. This match isn't make or break for me because I've only JUST discovered who the hell I am and the very best version of myself and I know it will take some time for that person to grow and prosper within me. But you? Are you walking into this match a defeated woman already? I hope not. It's one thing to want to be defined by something better than what you've accomplished already because you know you're capable of it... it's another to be on the verge of a psychological collapse and act as one loss is going to put you at the back of the line. Remember when we first faced each other back at Into the Void, Roxi? Remember how you worried that beating me was going to cause me to relapse back to my old, evil ways? I'M the one with that concern now... about YOU. I worry that you are going to make the same mistakes... the WORST mistakes of my career... that I did six years ago. I worry that you'll burn the same bridges that I did. But the difference between me and you is that I'm not going to let these worries overwhelm me.
I am going in there to do what I have to do.
If you go down that path, I know that it's not my fault that you do.
It's amazing that you put all this pressure on yourself when you're the odds on favorite tonight and when I'm the one that has heard all the doubters and critics all week tell me that I can't beat you and that I am incapable of being a world champion. I'm the one that should be feeling the heat... yet I'm not... because I do NOT let doubts... whether they are from me or from ANYONE ELSE... define me anymore. They FUEL me, Roxi, to be the best version of myself that I can be. But you? It looks like you are starting to succumb to those. You're allowing yourself to be defined by something you currently don't have, yet have had before.
That's not the Roxi these people know...
Again, you want to doubt me and try to use me as your stepping stone back to Amber? Try me. But I promise you that this, on top of your psychological self-destruction that is in its infancy, is going to come back to haunt you. I'm going to EARN this victory just as much as you are going to earn this loss, Roxi. I hate to say that to you, but that's how it is. If beating you serves as a wake up call to you, then great. I just hope that you snap out of this growing neurosis of yours sooner or later.
After all...
I don't want the superhero to turn into the villain I used to be...
Myra maintains her poise, though she doesn't seem to be worried anymore. She exits the scene and is ready to take care of business as it fades out.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a standard 20 minute match!!!
The opening keyboard notes of "The Touch" begin on the PA system. Stan Bush's voice rings out and soon the power chords kick in to begin the song. The cameras pan around the arena, and soon, spotted in amongst the fans, is Roxi Johnson slowly making her way through them, slapping the fans five and getting patted on the shoulders as he moves through the swarm of fans. The fans continuing singing with the song as Roxi continues her journey through them, stopping and singing along with them. She treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before she is lifted on top of the fans and they crowd surf her towards the ring, imitating a superhero "flying" motion. She makes it and lands on her feet on the arena floor to which she high fives the closest fan before climbing up on the apron and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.
Justin: Currently in the ring, standing in at 5'6 and weighing in at 132 pounds!! Roxi Johnson!!
"Come to Life" by Alter Bridge hits the speakers and the crowd lets out a strong reaction of support as Myra Rivers appears on the stage, already looking to take care of business. She heads down the ramp momentarily pausing at the bottom to give a quick smile at anyone nearby that is letting her know that they are behind her. Once the chorus starts, she gets inside of the ring and walks up to the opposite corner, adjacent to the ring announcer. She leans against the corner, focused and determined for her upcoming match, reveling in the continued showering of love the crowd is raining upon her.
Justin: And her opponent!! Standing in at 5'6 and weighing in at 130 pounds!! Myra Rivers!!!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as the two Bombshells circle each other, Myra positions herself in the centre of the ring as Roxi circles her. The two extend each others hands as their finger tips briefly touch each other before Roxi pulls her hands away as she wipes them off on her outfit before extending her hand once more. The two lock hands as Myra quickly puts Roxi in a standing side headlock before turning it into a standing hammerlock. Roxi tries to reach behind her as she wants to grab the head of the smaller Myra who has her head between the shoulder blades of Roxi. Roxi looks left and then right before managing to counter the move and locks Myra in a Hammerlock of her own before pushing her into the ropes and sends her towards the other side of the ring with an Irish Whip. Myra comes off the ropes and is met by a running clothesline from Roxi. Myra gets up and is decked by a standing dropkick by Roxi before going for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Myra gets her shoulder off the canvas as Roxi grabs Myra by the leg and sets her up for a Sharpshooter, but Myra has got it scouted and uses her legs to push Roxi away from her before quickly get to one knee and stares down at her veteran opponent as both Bombshells seize each other up.
Simone: Both ladies had a moment or two in this match, but neither manage to get some momentum going.
Myra gets to her feet as both of them seize each other up again. Roxi goes for a spinning kick to the side of Myra, trying to get her off balance. But Myra blocks the move before kicking Roxi in the midsection with a kick of her own. This staggers Roxi as Myra executes a Snap Suplex on Roxi before going for the cover with a forearm across the face of Roxi as Jacob Summers starts to count
ONE!
TWO!
Roxi kicks out as Myra wraps her arms around the chin of Roxi in a side headlock while grounding Roxi as the former champion attempts to get to a standing position and drives elbows into the midsection of Myra as she runs to the ropes. Coming off the ropes with a springboard backelbow to the jaw of Roxi as Myra quickly turns Roxi over on her stomach before locking her in a Cloverleaf as Jacob goes down to check if Roxi wants to submit to the painful hold.
Adams: That's the class of Myra, whenever she sees an opportunity to lock in a hold like this she will.
Roxi reaches for the ropes, being just inches away from it as she starts to claw towards the ropes as Myra tries to sinch in deeper the hold but Roxi manages to place her fingers upon the bottom rope that forces Jacob to force Myra to break the hold.
Simone: Good thing that Roxi managed to grab the ropes, or else she could have end up with a painful lower back and legs.
Myra quickly wants to take advantage of the situation by reaching for the legs, but Roxi rolls out of the ring underneath he bottom rope. Myra rolls out of the ring as well and follows Roxi as both women circle the ring before Myra catches up with Roxi. She sets her up for driving her spine into the ring apron as she follows it up with shoulder tackles into the midsection. She executes a knive edge chop across the chest of Roxi, who quickly grabs Myra by the shoulder and spins her against the ring post and executes a chop of her own. This causes Myra to stagger away before rolling back into the ring as that breaks the ten count of Jacob Summers at the count of eight.
Adams: Great intensity from Roxi to counter the chop of Myra.
Roxi grabs the arm of Myra and whips her into the ropes while running to the ropes on the other side. She jumps off the ropes and executes a springboard Hurricanrana and locks Myra in a pinning combination by hooking both legs.
ONE!
TWO!
THR...
Myra manages to kick out at the final moment, both Bombshells get up to their feet only Roxi gets up faster. Pushing Myra into the ropes once more and follows her up as she sets her up for a running knee into the midsection and connects. Myra bends forward in reaction to the move of Roxi. Who runs to the ropes and sets Myra up for a running spinning neckbreaker only to have Myra to counter it by using the momentum of Roxi against her by pushing her away from her. This causes Roxi to land on her back in an awkward fashion as Myra charges in on her quickly and sets her up for a Cross Armbreaker submission hold as Roxi desperately tries to lock both hands in an attempt to block the hold. But ultimately the force that Myra uses her legs upon her forces to finally break the grip that Roxi's hands had. Dropping her on her back as Jacob checks on her whether she wants to give up to the hold from her opponent.
Simone: Will Roxi submit to this hold???
Adams: I think this time it will be more difficult for her to break this hold after being in this match for a longer time.
Roxi attempts to get herself off the canvas by using her leg strength to push herself off the canvas. pushing herself to a standing position as she tries to push the shoulders onto the canvas. But Myra recognizes this and lets go off the hold and kicks Roxi into the face as she rolls way from her opponent. Then she charges in on Roxi and delivers a shoulder tackle into the midsection that causes Roxi to be pushed into the corner as Myra charges towards the other side of the ring before attempting a corner splash on Roxi who sidesteps. This forces Myra to stagger backwards as Roxi jumps the ropes before executing a Springboard DDT in the middle of the ring as both women are spent. Both women try to catch their breath before Roxi covers Myra as Jacob goes for the three count
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...
But Myra manages to get her shoulder off the canvas at the final moment.
Simone: That's a tough break for Roxi
Roxi is sitting with a look on her face that tells that she couldn't believe the fact that Myra managed to kick out at the final moment. Only to get her focus back on the match as she grabs the arm of Myra. Slowly pulling her to her feet as she sets her up for an Irish Whip and goes for a standing dropkick. Only to have Myra catch both legs as in the process Roxi falls on her back on the canvas. Myra locks her arms around the legs before dropping backwards for a Slingshot into the corner where Roxi lands on the middle turnbuckles and quickly turns around. There she measures Myra, anticipating the moment that she gets back to her feet and turn her attention to Roxi. At that moment Roxi jumps forward Myra with an attempt to deliver a Hurricanrana off the turnbuckles but gets caught in a Powerbomb. Myra grabs the head of Roxi and sets herself up for a German Suplex but fails to bridge out as her shoulders are on the canvas just like Roxi's
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Myra gets her arms in the air, believing that she had pinned Roxi while Jacob is conversing with Justin before he turns and addresses the crowd
Justin: Ladies and Gents, I have been informed that Jacob Summers has counted both women's shoulders as all of their shoulders were on the canvas at the same time..... Causing a double pin!!!
Myra's expression suddenly changes to shock, not believing what just happened as she asks Jacob about it and gets the same explanation
Simone: Now that was interesting!!
We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Pussy Willow. She isn't alone as she is standing in front of Crystal Zdunich. Crystal has her glasses on and is clad in an anime shirt along with a pair of sneakers and tight fitting jeans.
Pussy: Hello everybody. I am Pussy Willow and standing in front of me is one who isn't a stranger to the spotlight. I give to you Crystal Zdunich.
Crystal: Thank you so much for the warm welcome Pussy. It really means a lot.
Pussy: Anyway at High Stakes you were involved in a triple threat match and you came up short in your quest to beat Amber Ryan. How does it feel knowing you are on the outside looking in?!
Crystal takes a long deep breath as her eyes meet that of the camera. She shakes her head as she begins to speak.
Crystal: To be honest it does sting a little. I gave everything I had against Amber Ryan and in the end it wasn't enough. She managed to win everything this year. She won all of the accolades and has definitely had her share of awards. I know her eyes are locked on the all of the new blood entering into this company. That sounds great on paper and I will give her the credit she rightfully she deserves. She did defend her championship but the fact is she did so by beating Roxi Johnson. I am not going to make an excuse because in a match like that it doesn't matter who gains the pin fall...
Crystal takes a long deep breath as she begins to speak some more.
Crystal: But in my eyes it definitely does mean everything because I know for a fact had Roxi fought Amber one on one it might have been a different story, and the same thing goes for if I was able to fight Amber one on one. I am not going to rest until I get that singles match with her. It doesn't even have to be for the title but I know DEEP DOWN in my heart that I have what it takes to beat her. This year hasn't gone the way that I wanted it to go. Separating from my wife definitely has had a huge impact on me. It stings more than anyone could possibly fathom.
Crystal takes a long deep breath as she looks deeper into the camera.
Crystal: Everybody always wants to keep me out of the fray. They all talk about me staying out of the top and out of the limelight and I am tired of being denied. I always have worked my ass to get to the top, and it hurts when people try to tell me that I simply am not good enough. I AM GOOD ENOUGH... And I will continue to showcase why I am. I know that her destiny is on a collision course with Bella Madison and I respect that. However OUR story isn't done just yet and I will have that conversation again because I have what it takes to be in it. This coming week is a holiday and honestly I have never felt as alone as I have in my life.
Crystal is full of passion as she nods her head some more.
Crystal: Not only that but my 34th birthday is on this Saturday. I have so many wishes to make, and for all I know I might have to have a birthday cake all to myself. However when I blow out the candles there is only one thing I want more than anything. One thing that will make me happy, and I aim to do whatever it takes to earn my way to having that come true. So let this be a notion to everybody in this company that my story isn't done just yet. I will find a way and this rose will forever blossom... Mark my words on that otherwise it is time to be that burning rose and set this entire world ablaze... FLAME ON SCW... it's showtime!
With that Crystal looks deeper into the camera as we fade out on her serious expression.
Simone: We're back and strangely, Keira's in the ring.
Adams: Well, she said she was going to come out tonight, despite not being on the card. We'll see what she has to say.
Keira looks around at the crowd and takes a deep breath. She then says
Keira: Ok, before I get into the big meat and potatoes of this. In terms of our last Supercard. I gave my all. Andrea, be proud. Sooner or later. I'll get that rematch. Don't worry. Alicia, considering you love to bitch and moan on Twitter alot. Keep doing that. Yea, I got pinned. So what? You didn't win either, Card filler. I mean it this time. No more. I don't want to wrestle your sorry, pathetic excuse of a face ever again! Which leads me to...this.
The crowd was confused, some thinking that this may be a huge thing. She then says
Keira: I've had a couple of weeks to think about this. Actually, I was going to come out here and make a huge thing out of it, to a degree. Been thinking about my life as of late. BUT! Something changed. Something really changed my mind on it.
Keira gives a smirk
Keira: I wake up the day before the show...let's put it this way. Twitter decided to choose CHAOS that day! Someone I won't mention here decided to run her mouth more and more. Yet my friends stood by me. I thank them for that. Because all it did was relit a fire I thought I was losing! Hell! It made me think of things I didn't notice. I've been facing the same people OVER and OVER again! While I'm still going after the Bombshell Internet Championship. I can't let it define me!
Keira clears her throat, saying
Keira: I'm saying, I WANT TO FACE A FEW NEW PEOPLE! Krystal Wolfe, Amber Ryan, you get the idea! I'm hungry for competition! If a title is in the mix, SURE! WHY NOT!? So I'm going to do this. Krystal, buddy. I know you're listening and all. I want to challenge you. No, I'm not looking for a title match. THAT one is on you if you decide to. But I want to fight! I'll give you one week to decide. If you decide to. In two weeks time, on Climax Control...
Keira giggles, saying
Keira: You're going to be mine...
Like a Phoenix plays as Keira drops the mic. She exits the ring as the scene fades.
And the camera returns to ringside for the upcoming match which has thus far received a lot of hype. Jasmine St. John stands in the corner, ready to officiate as Justin stands center-ring.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following Non-Title match is scheduled for one fall...!
The lights kick out in the arena as we hear an offbeat choir of punks singing "ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh" until we build to a complete silence...until it's shattered by:
"WE ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS!!!!" Suddenly blasting pyro fires off as the legendary "Iceman" Levi Russow comes bouncing out onto the ramp in time with the music dancing and twirling as the fans are going ape shit as he spins twice and takes off like a dart to the ring sliding under the bottom rope and popping up and running to the corner where he runs up the turnbuckles and backflips off landing in a superhero position in the middle of the ring.
Justin: Currently in the ring! From Manhattan, New York, weighing two hundred and five pounds - Levi RUSSOW!!
The crowd cheers enthusiastically as Levi stands and raises an arm, acknowledging his fan base!
Simone: When Levi Russow signed with SCW, he made waves from the sheer excitement! EVERYBODY from staff to fan and peer alike were all on board with this veteran's arrival.
Adams: Everyone except Alex Jones, that is.
Simone: Indeed. Levi made some comments about men he's associated with that are now with Wolfslair, and Alex Jones took offense. Levi signed with SCW to showcase what he can do one more time before he feels is his inevitable retirement. Going up against the champion is the biggest and best he can get!
Justin: And his opponent...!
Halocenes cover of "Hail to the king" hits and as the lyrics of the intro cut into the guitar Alex steps out wearing a black and red "wolfslair" t-shirt and his wrestling gear. He makes his way down to the ring with an arrogant sneer before leaping up onto the ring apron.
Justin: Entering the ring! He is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion! From Dallas, Texas, weighing two hundred and twenty five pounds - ALEX JONES!
Alex steps into the center of the ring, arms open wide, as the fans greet the champion with cheers!
Adams: Levi gave us all a 'bucket list' of opponents he'd love to face inside of the ring; everyone from Helluva Bottom Carter from SCU, to that man right there, Alex Jones.
Simone: Some felt some of his challenges were ahead of him given he had just signed, particularly this man right there - Alex Jones. But Levi has been on a bit of a slump the past two times he was inside of the ring. This is his chance to turn things around.
Adams: And if he can beat the champion ... hoo boy!
Alex sets the world title belt down in his corner as Jasmine ensures both men are ready. She brings both to the center of the ring where Levi offers his hand in a gesture of sportsmanship. And despite the tension between the two men, Alex accepts. This act generates applause from the fans.
Adams: Nice show from these gents, but how long will it last?
Simone: Only until the tensions rise inside of that ring and that is not a hard thing to accomplish.
The two step back to their corners and Jasmine calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Straight away, both Alex and Levi come from out of their corners, all business. They circle the ring, eyes never straying from the other as they size the other up until they inevitable pause and lunge forward, engaging in a collar and elbow lock up. Almost immediately, Alex ensnares Levi into a side headlock, immediately taking control of the situation. But just as quickly, Levi counters out of the hold, sending Alex into the ropes. Alex comes off and Levi drops down. Alex runs over him and comes off the far side where Levi jumps to his feet and attempts a hip toss on the champion, but Alex blocks and counters with a hip toss of his own! Levi lands on his feet and throws Alex over with a double arm drag, taking the champion off of his feet! Both get back to a vertical base right away and they both race off of the ropes where they collide in a double shoulder block, and Levi comes out on top as Alex hits the canvas hard! Levi then runs over into the ropes as Alex jumps back up, and Alex takes him down face-first with a drop toe hold! Alex floats over, rolls across his back and ends up on top, trapping Levi on the canvas in a front face lock!
Simone: I knew that this match between two of the ring generals of the sport would be a technical masterpiece but Alex Jones and Levi Russow are far surpassing my expectations!
Jasmine is down on her hands and knees, checking to ensure the hold is not a choke and asking Levi if he wants to submit, but Russow won't give in - especially so early in the contest. Alex remains flat on his front as Levi slowly rises to his hands and knees, remaining in the hold...
Adams: And somewhere out there, HBCarter let out the loudest wolf whistle...
Levi is in a squat position, then stands, slowly forcing Alex into an upright position. With slow and methodical precision, Levi changes their positions, returning the favor from earlier by grabbing Alex into a side headlock. But just as quickly, Levi ducks behind Alex into a hammerlock, then drops down and rolls Alex up with a schoolboy cradle!
ONE!
And Alex kicks out fast!
Both men are back on their feet, neither moving momentarily as they stare one another down. They then move in for another lock up, and Alex takes control once again with an overhead wrist lock. Levi grits his teeth in pain until he ducks into the hold and reverses it, ducking behind the champion with a standing hammerlock. Alex reverses it into his own hammerlock, then takes the arm and twists it and holds Russow at bay with an extended wrist lock. Alex then uses his leverage to flip Levi over and he drops a guillotine leg drop across his extended and vulnerable arm. Alex then uses the timing and position to set Levi up and trap him on the mat in a short-arm scissors. Again Jasmine is asking Levi if he wants to yield but Levi shakes his head in the negative, refusing to give Alex the satisfaction.
Simone: Both men are still in the 'feeling out' process of this match but so far, it has been fairly even between Alex and Levi.
Alex then releases the hold and pulls Levi up to a standing position and twists him into an arm wringer again, but this time Levi immediately counters with his arm wringer and he locks Alex into an armbar. Alex then seeks an 'out' by scooping Levi up one-handed and depositing him with a slam, but Levi holds onto the armbar, rolling Alex over and holding him down onto the mat.
Adams: It's all about control and right now, I think Levi is actually out maneuvering the World Champ!
Both men slowly work their way back to their feet, and Alex drops down and attempts to break loose with a hip toss but once again, Levi holds on and rolls though, throwing Alex over and maintains the armbar! At least until Alex rolls over onto his back and he uses his legs to finally break free, grabbing hold of Russow in a head scissors! Back in control, Alex uses his leg strength to hold Levi at bay as Russow attempts to bridge out and kick out, but the champion successfully maintains the hold against him. Levi then rolls over slowly to his hands and knees, then somersaults over on top of Jones, breaking the scissors and again ensnaring him into a side headlock on the mat.
Adams: Boy! Neither of these guys can keep control of this match over the other!
Simone: It's what happens when you have such a wealth of experience between both competitors. They've both seen it all and done it all, so it's difficult to get one over on the other.
Alex is not one for staying down and slowly, he manages to force his way back to a vertical base but still remaining in the headlock by Levi. Alex then sends Levi not into the ropes but the near corner and follows right in with a European uppercut that catches Russow by surprise. Alex then takes his arm and attempts an Irish whip into the neutral corner across the ring but Levi jumps onto the middle turnbuckle and leaps back, striking hard and fast with a springboard spinning wheel kick that floors the champion!
Adams: You mean like THAT!?
Simone: THAT definitely caught Alex by surprise!
Levi quickly covers Alex and hooks the inside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
But Alex has enough left in him to get his shoulder up!
Levi grabs Alex into a double underhook position, dragging him to his feet and he suplexes him over! Levi then jumps up and comes off the ropes and delivers double foot stomp right to Alex's exposed midsection!
Adams: I don't care how hard Alex's abs are! That hadta hurt!
Alex rolls over onto his hands and knees, clutching his hurt midsection as he gasps for the air that was just taken from his body! Levi does not waste a moment as he drops in front of Jones and secures a hold of him before he begins to lay in the knee strikes to his exposed head!
Simone: And now Levi Russow has finally taken control of this match against the best of the best!
Levi drags Alex up into a front face lock, perhaps preparing for a DDT, when Alex suddenly counters with a Northern Lights suplex, surprising Levi!
Adams: You were saying?
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Kick out by Levi!
Alex rolls over and pushes himself to his feet, and Levi strikes immediately with a super kick that fells him! A;ex crashes flat on his back and Levi makes with another cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Kick out by Alex!
Levi picks Alex up and delivers a scoop slam. Levi then steps out onto the apron and begins to ascend to the top. Levi sizes the downed and prone Alex Jones up before he leaps from his perch for the diving swanton bomb - but Alex rolls out of the way and Levi Russow crashes hard on his back! Levi rolls over and staggers to his feet, holding his arched back in pain - when Alex plows right into him with a spear!
Simone: Perhaps a desperation move by the champion as now BOTH men are down!
Jasmine stands over both men who struggle to recover and she begins to count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Alex and Levi both force themselves back to their feet at practically the same time. Both men then dart back into the ropes and Levi jumps for a knee strike but Alex ducks under to avoid it! Levi turns around and Alex leaps and delivers a standing Enzugari! Levi staggers, out on his feet, and Alex secures him into position for a snap suplex, whipping him over! Alex holds on and rolls thru, pulling him to his feet and delivers a second snap suplex!
Adams: Is he going for the Trifecta?
Indeed so as A;ex again rolls thru and gets both men onto their feet. He goes for the third but Levi counters! Levi hoists him up for a vertical suplex of his own but Alex drops down onto his feet behind him! Alex has him in a hammerlock and whips him around into a clothesline! Alex with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Levi gets his shoulder up!
Alex looks toward Jasmine and then down at Levi, running his hand down his face.
Simone: I believe Levi is giving Alex more of a fight than perhaps the champion had expected.
Adams: I don't know why. Everything Levi Russow is noted for is hard earned.
Simone: As is Alex Jones.
Alex then pulls Levi to his feet and goes to send him into the ropes but Levi reverses it and follows right in with a high end knee strike that knocks Alex silly and back against the ropes! Levi then attempts an Irish whip of his own but this time it is Alex's turn to reverse the attempt! Alex ducks down for a back body drop but Levi suddenly pulls him into an inside cradle!
ONE!
TWO!
But Alex reverses it into his won inside cradle, Levi's legs kicking wildly!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner - ALEX JONES!
Jasmine raises Alex's arm in victory as a disappointed Levi stands, but none the less, offers up a fist bump to the champion and Alex obliges before Russow ducks out of the ring.
Adams: I think we may have just witnessed a 2022 Match of the Year candidate!
Simone: What a sportsmanlike display by both men! They went the absolute distance with each other and never once strayed from the rule book!
Climax Control shifts to some pre-recorded footage that takes place at what appears to be at a makeshift awards ceremony. There is a large "undefeated 2020-21" banner that is hanging from the ceiling and sure enough, SCW Bombshells Internet Champion Andrea Hernandez walks in with her championship over her shoulder while she is holding the Most Hated award that she won in her other hand. She approaches the podium and as soon as she sets the award down on the podium, a small explosion happens behind her and a bunch of confetti and balloons rain down from the ceiling. For obvious reasons, she's in a hell of a mood as she begins to express her thoughts.
Andrea: You all thought I was SCREWED going into High Stakes, didn't you? Some of you even thought I had screwed myself over when my attempts to keep a certain someone out of the Internet title match failed. You were already writing me off. You were all prepared to write your narratives about me and how I was only capable of being a one-supercard champion. You were all prepared to write more narratives on top of that about how I was a choker on high stakes. You were all prepared to dance on the grave of my title reign and to throw the whole Crystal Hilton thing in my face all over again. But WHAT HAPPENED at High Stakes? I CHANGED your narratives while your bullshit lies and libel about me were sitting on your Google Docs ready to publish on your sad excuse of wrestling opinion websites! I was SUCCESSFULLY re-elected as the PRESIDENT of the INTERNET with my triple threat victory. It's funny... last year? After High Stakes? I was written off by many of you. I walked in here sick to my stomach knowing what had happened. You had that IDIOT Krystal Wolfe thinking she was going to make an impact in her debut at MY expense because I was 'weakened' by that I Quit match.
WRONG!
That's the one word that defines ALL of my critics: WRONG!
You all thought I was going to lose to Roxi Johnson at Inception. WRONG!
You all thought that Sam Marlowe was going to give me that what for. WRONG!
You all thought Seleana was going to get her revenge on me for the Crystal thing. WRONG!
You all thought that Dani Weston was going to make her big comeback at my expense in the Internet championship tournament. WRONG!
You all thought that I was going to LOSE MY UNDEFEATED RECORD at High Stakes, ready like a bunch of little vultures ready to write the narrative that "everything else I did before means NOTHING!"
WRONG!
I have achieved the IMPOSSIBLE! From the Climax Control after High Stakes X to High Stakes XI, encompassing a whole season on the supercard calendar... FOURTEEN MATCHES... FOURTEEN WINS!
I have accomplished HISTORY at High Stakes, history that no other wrestler: Bombshell or 'Superstar' has ever done. I know you're all going to come out and say 'well, you only wrestled once a month' like Roxi tried to quip once. Let me repeat that again. FOURTEEN MATCHES! FOURTEEN WINS! No matter how you slice it, that is STILL impressive. No matter what asterisk you TRY to put on it, you can't take that away from me.
You can be a sore loser and resort to elementary school name calling on social media all you want to, but you can NEVER change the fact that I accomplished what I did. I ended the wannabe comeback story. I shattered the Cinderella story. No Bombshell in the last 12 months has been more dominant than ME! And before you say anything Amber, sit the fuck down! Take several fucking seats. You have losses on your record within the last 12 months, your opinion is invalid. In fact, the only reason you're still World Champion is because you were fortunate that we never crossed paths.
BITCH!
Oh and by the way... THIS...
Andrea pauses as she picks up her "Most Hated" award.
Andrea: This doesn't belong to you. It belongs to ME! So again, TAKE! SEVERAL! FUCKING! SEATS!
This past year, I have done nothing but silence the critics and evolve my game. I have done nothing but humble and shut down any hatred that any sad soul has ever tried to throw my way. I am the most hated, most dominant and hottest Bombshell on the roster... in more ways than one... right now and NOBODY can touch me! You can try to minimize my accomplishments all you want, but over the last year, I have shown that I can SILENCE the critics! I AM a big match wrestler now. I AM IT! I AM one of the best women's wrestlers on this roster, in the world, whether you want to admit it or not and unlike sweet, innocent Andrea that first walked into this company, I don't need YOUR approval.
So, I GLADLY accept the MOST HATED AWARD... OH and by the way... new merchandise for sale...
Andrea takes a final pause as she pulls out a t-shirt that has her name in fancy lettering and the phrase "2020-21: UNDEFEATED" below her name.
Andrea: You can buy this and actually FEEL like a winner... since most of you in the Bombshells locker room don't know how to be one and all you LITTLE PEOPLE in the audience that roots for your hypocritical bitches in Roxi and Crystal DEFINITELY don't know how to BE a winner.
But I DO...
And that's why I'M the fucking best in the division right now!
I'm Andrea Hernandez, YOUR re-elected SCW Bombshells Internet Champion, and I approve this message!
Andrea scoffs as usual as she walks off the podium and out of the scene. The camera focuses on her new merchandise for a few seconds as the scene fades out.
We cut backstage to where we see Bill and Bea Barnhart standing with Scott Oliver who is conducting a pre-match interview with them.
Scott: Bill how do you feel about to go into the Main Event against Supreme Machine and Dominick Strife with them having Mac Bane and Ken Davison in their corner?
Bill: I feel great. I have the greatest tag team partner in Senor Vinnie and the fact that Mac and Ken feel the need to be at ringside to support their pathetic puppets in Supreme Machine and Dominick Strife is enough for me to know they know they're gonna lose.
Scott: Bea how do you feel being in the corner of Bill and Vinnie while their opponents have Mac Bane and Ken Davison in their corner. That's putting you at a disadvantage if they interfere or start attacking Bill and Vinnie.
Bea: There's no disadvantage on our side of the ring Scott. I've contacted numerous people to stand by and if anything happens with our opponents where they cheat, interfere in the match, or attack Bill and Vinnie, they'll run to ringside immediately and take the trash out.
Scott: I see. Final question before we end our pre-match interview. How confident are you, Bill, that your team will win?
Bill: On a scale of one to ten with ten being the highest we are at one hundred. There's no way we're gonna lose when our opponents are pathetic and the two morons supporting them are even more pathetic. LET THE BEATDOWN BEGIN!!!
Bill and Bea turn and head down the hallway while Scott Oliver makes closing comments for this pre-match interview session.
Scott: As always a confident Bill and Bea Barnhart ready for Bill's match.
PREVIOUSLY ON HIGH STAKES XI...
Bea has exited the ring, while Bill and Vinnie charge at Mac with a teaming clothesline to take the big man down. Vinnie continues the assault with mounted punches to the face, Mac does his best to cover up but to no avail. Meanwhile, Bill Barnhart pulls up the corner matting to expose the plywood underneath. He looks over at Vinnie who begins laughing and they move Bane into that corner on the exposed plywood.
Adams: This is not gonna be good for Mac.
Simone: What happened to the lights? We're in complete darkness here!
When the lights come back on, Bill and Vinnie no longer have the numbers advantage. They are surrounded, Three other men in the ring with Mac now.
Simone: WOW! Godly Ken Davison, Dominick Strife and The Supreme Machine are in the ring.
Adams: I didn't know Dominick Strife or The Supreme Machine worked here, I know there was rumours!
Simone: I'm gonna take a guess and say the rumours are true! What a coup!
The two men look at each other and then try to make a break for it. Supreme Machine catches Bill Barnhard as he tries to blow past him with his version of the black hole slam that he calls "Throttle and Mask"! As Vinnie tries to step away from Mac, he grabs the man's ankle causing him to trip into Sweet Chin Music from Dominick!" Neither Bill or Vinnie are moving and Bea on the outside is trying to hide behind the ring post as Mac regains his feet. Bane shakes the hand of each man and then they pose for the stunned crowd that is not even sure of how to react.
Simone: Mac looks like he's got evil intentions on his face.
Adams: And that is not good for anyone.
Mac looks back to the exposed plywood and immediately goes to where Vinnie had fallen, he drags him to his feet and points at the plywood. He makes a gesture with his hand that resembles a gun to Vinnie's head and places him in a side headlock. He hits the headlock driver on Vinnie, driving his skull into the exposed plywood while Suma, Ken and Dominick drag Bill back to his feet. Mac kicks Vinnie out of the ring, directing traffic with the other three. Ken and Dominick hop up on the turnbuckle, sitting and waiting. Mac motions to Suma giving him the thumbs up and then down motion. Mac and Suma both begin laughing as he drags Bill into position. Supreme Machine hoists Bill into an electric chair position, then he executes him with assistance from both Ken and Dominick to a spike version of the Joker Driver that he calls "Apex Ultima"!
"Oblivion" by Shinedown begins to play as the four men stand tall over the victims of the attack with a booing crowd and not a single one of them seems to care.
VIDEO FEED ENDS...
The camera returns immediately to the ringside area with Dawn Barnes entering the ring, stepping between the bottom and middle rope...
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following tag team match is the Main Event of Climax Control!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Introducing first...!
The aggressive drum-intro of "Zetite" by Illnath hits the PA-system as the entire arena plunges to darkness. A few seconds later as the vocals begin, a spotlight illuminates the ramp and Supreme Machine along with Dominick Strife walks through the curtains. They stop at the top of the ramp, SUMA standing with his head bowed and arms crossed across his chest.
Justin: At a total combined weight of five hundred and forty three pounds, the team of Dominick Strife and Supreme MACHINE!
After a moment SUMA whips his head up and his arms to the side on a crucifix-pose, locking his eyes at the ring and beginning a slow measured walk down the aisle, eyes never leaving the ring as a cocky Dominick follows at his side, playing to the crowd as if he's the greatest ting to hit the ring since turnbuckle pads. SUMA steps over the top rope and walks into the middle of the ring, as Dominick lounges across the turnbuckle in their corner, the picture of confidence.
Adams: Bloody hell! Will you look at the size of that guy!? He makes blokes like Austin James Mercer and Vinnie look petite!
Simone: They are definitely the odd couple pairing but they are in the same stable and know one another well. Where Supreme Machine is a walking bulldozer, that Dominick Strife is just, plain cocky!
Justin: And their opponents...!
The crowd is in anticipation of the arrival of the next wrestler as the lights go out and a band of six Mariachi players come out to the arena all playing a guitar. They start to play Cancion del Mariachi as all of them start to sing while walking down the rampway. Halfway they stop and three walk to the left and the other three to the right as they stand face to face before Senor Vinnie walk out to the arena. He is sporting expensive sunglasses and a sweater around his neck and carrying an atomizer. He sprays some of his cologne in the air and sniffs it up as if not wanting to smell the foul air around him.
Justin: Coming down to the ring!! Standing in at six feet eight inches and weighing in at two hundred eighty pounds!! Hailing from Tijuana, Mexico!! Senor Vinnie!!!!
Vinnie then walks to the ring and enters, heading toward the center of the ring where he poses. His music dies down and he waits for the match to begin.
Justin: And his tag team partner...
Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed his English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar.
Justin: Making his way to the ring! Weighing in at two hundred forty pounds! From Lawrenceville, Georgia...BULLDOG BILL BARNHARDT!!
When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into his corner with Vinnie.
Simone: Vinnie and Bill both have been waiting for this match for over two weeks, but now they may come to regret their own actions!
Adams: Because let's face it! Vinnie and Bill started it with that attack on Mac Bane! They just weren't expecting Mac to have...
Simone: Wait, wait! Back to the ring!
Bill and Vinnie turn around in their corner and SUMA and Dominick jump them! SUMA plows right into Vinnie, just barely missing Barnhart as Dominick jumps on him! Dawn has no choice but to call for the bell to start this match!
DING DING DING!
The two big men, SUMA and Vinnie are all over one another, fists swinging and trading clubbing and bone jarring blows to one another's heads, faces and bodies! It is a war between the two as they fall against one another and against the ropes, toppling over the top rope and both men miraculously landing on their feet on the ringside area!
Adams: Oh my god! This one is already chaos! And they put the rookie ref in to officiate THIS one!?
Simone: I don't think any of the SCW officials would be well prepared to handle this chaos!
As the brawl continues on the outside of the ring, Bill and Strife are declared the legal men inside of the ring as Dominick has Bill down on his knees against the ropes! With Bill's throat draped against the middle rope, Dominick straddles a leg over his head, choking the life out of him as his teammates, Mac Bane and "Godly" Ken Davison arrive at ringside to cheer their buddies on!
Adams: Well looky who's here!
Simone: The numbers game is definitely on the side of Supreme Machine and Dominick Strife, all due respect to Bea Barnhart...
Adams: And Iris!
Dawn orders Dominick to break the choke hold on Bulldog but he just smiles at her and she begins her count with Strife counting right along, adding insult to injury...!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And indeed he does break! Dominick then hops off of his back and races into the ropes to come off, and JUMPS to land on Barnhart's wide back, but the veteran dodges aside and Dominick lands in the ropes and ricochets right back to the mat in an awkward crash landing!
Simone: Ad that is where the veteran ring experience comes into play!
On the outside, SUMA gains the upper hand in his ringside brawl with Vinnie! The monster drives Vinnie back with repeated fists and a head butt right between the eyes! SUMA then charges ahead at full steam but Vinnie catches him in a drop toe hold and SUMA goes crashing right into the ring steps!
Adams: It's hard NOT to see a man SUMA's size coming right at you!
Simone: And as Vinnie returns to his corner, that monster is already getting back up!
Indeed SUMA is back on his feet and at Mac and Ken's encouragement, makes for his corner as Bill has taken control of the young upstart Dominick inside of the ring! The Bulldog peppers Dominick with lefts and rights, switching back and firth between his face and midsection as targets! As Strife covers one, Barnhart simply strikes the other, driving him back into the near corner! Bill then drives his shoulder right into Dominick's midsection and buries it in, over and over! Bill then grabs him by the head and runs him into his corner where Vinnie tags in!
Simone: And here comes the former World Champion!
Vinnie steps OVER the top rope, matching SUMA's own stride, and Bill lets go of Dominick as Vinnie kicks a big boot up against Strife's throat, choking him savagely as Dawn counts!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Vinnie breaks! Vinnie sends him into the ropes with an Irish whip for a big boot to the kisser but Dominick ducks, rebounds and is caught in a spinning sidewalk slam from the multi-time champion! Strife's back CRASHES into the canvas with Vinnie on top for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Dominick kicks out!
Adams: Give him credit, the kid can take it!
Simone: I'm just waiting to see if he can dish it out as well!
Vinnie drags him right back up and tags Bill back in!
Simone: Excellent teamwork on the part of Bill and Vinnie. Quick tags, that's what they have to do to stay fresh in the ring.
Vinnie and Bill both send Strife careening into the ropes and they throw him UP and OVER with a double high back body drop! Dominick sails into the lights and crashes hard!
Adams: Did you see how high he just went!?
Simone: He could have touched the lights above the ring at that altitude!
Dawn admonishes the double teaming and forces Vinnie back and out of the ring, but with her back turned, she doesn't see! Bill peels Dominick up off the mat and onto his shoulder for a running power slam, but as he turns around, SUMA plows right into him full body, flattening him! SUMA then drags Strife closer to their corner with Mac and Ken cheering them on! Dawn turns around to see the tag being made!
Adams: Uhh ohh! The monster is in the ring!
Simone: And as tough as Bill Barnhart is, he is vastly outsized here!
Bill still manages to stand, and SUMA runs right into him with a big boot! SUMA grabs him by the arm and hauls Barnhart to his feet and delivers a short-arm clothesline, followed by a second! SUMA then drags him up and sends him into the ropes where he catches him on the rebound with a spine buster! SUMA floats over him into the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Bill kicks out!
Simone: Size aside, it takes so much more to put the Bulldog down for the count!
SUMA is immediately on his feet, using his presence to intimidate Dawn as he backs her into the corner!
Adams: Leave her alone and go back to your opponent!
SUMA points a finger at Dawn before he does just that, going back to work on the downed Barnhart with a barrage of stomps! SUMA then drops to his knees and wraps both hands around Bill's throat, choking the life out of him as Dawn issues her count against him!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And he breaks! SUMA then drags him over to the corner where he tags Dominick back into the match! SUMA Irish whips Bill into the ropes and catches him in a power slam as Dominick springboards from the apron with a senton on top of Barnhart! SUMA exits the ring as Dominick makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Barnhart kicks out again!
Simone: It just is no simple matter for anyone to put Bill Barnhart's shoulders down for the three count!
Dominick then sends Bill into the far corner and comes flying in with a dropsault, landing with style on bended knee! Bill stumbles from the corner and Strife follows up with an Enzugari that finally drops Barnhart to his knees! Dominick drags him by the boot over to the corner where Mac and Ken cheer them on, Strife tagging in SUMA. SUMA steps over the ropes and literally ONTO Bill's chest, crushing his sternum beneath his near 400 pounds!
Simone: The savagery of this monster!
Adams: He wouldn't be a monster if he wasn't!
SUMA sends Bill hard into the corner and comes charging in, but Bill moves and SUMA goes through the turnbuckles and hits the post!
Adams: He hit his head!
Simone: I don't care how big you are! Striking cold steel like that will stop you fast!
Adams: Now he has to tag! Now's the Bulldog's chance!
Indeed Bill drops to the mat and starts crawling toward Vinnie's outstretched hand as Bea pounds the apron, rallying her husband! Dominick jumps into the ring to put a stop to it - BUT TOO LATE! Vinnie gets the tag! Dominick staggers back on his feet as Vinnie comes charging in and he clotheslines Strife! The former World and Internet Champion turns as SUMA pulls himself to his feet and he comes charging into the corner and face washes SUMA with a big boot! Vinnie grabs SUMA and Irish whips him into the ropes and strikes with a clothesline!
Adams: He's still on his feet!
Vinnie comes off the ropes a second time and clotheslines him again, causing SUMA to stagger back several steps but still he does not go down! Vinnie runs into the ropes one more time and this time he hits a Thesz press - FINALLY putting SUMA on his back and he rains down with fist after fist into SUMA's head!
Simone: THIS is why Senor Vinnie is such a success story in SCW!
SUMA throws Vinnie off and gets to his feet and immediately a wild fist fight erupts between the two big men! SUMA buries a knee into Vinnie's midsection, stopping it! SUMA sends Vinnie into the ropes and Dominick trips him to the mat! Dominick then tags back in. SMA runs into the ropes but this time Bill pulls the ropes down and SUMA goes toppling over and to the floor, crashing back against the barricade! Dominick is surprised at this turn of events and turns back in time to see a pissed off Vinnie back on his feet! Vinnie grabs Strife and throws him back over the ropes and into the ring where he tags Bulldog back in! Bill scoops Strife upside down and drops him with a piledriver! He makes the cover!
ONE!
SUMA drags himself to his feet!
TWO!
Vinnie charges across the ring and doves through the ropes, wiping SUMA out!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners! The team of Senor Vinnie and "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!!!
The crowd actually cheers for the team of Vinnie and Bill as Bea enters the ring!
Simone: Senor Vinnie and Bill Barnhart get a measure of revenge for that beat down they suffered at High Stakes XI...
Adams: Wait, it's not over!
"Godly" Ken Davison is in the ring and he waffles a steel folding chair against Bill's back, sending Barnhart down and Bea falls into the corner, none the worse for wear! Immediately Ken starts to stomp down onto Bulldog as Mac helps Dominick back to his feet! The bell rings over and over as Vinnie turns and sees what is happening! Vinnie jumps up onto the apron to put an end to this but Mac Bane runs in with a clothesline that knocks Vinnie off the apron and into the waiting arms of SUMA who choke slams the former champion on the floor! Ken and Dominick then roll out of the ring and begin fishing beneath...
Simone: End this already! You've done enough!
And the crowd reacts as Ken and Dominick drag a table out from beneath the ring!
Adams: I think that is what they have in mind, Bel!
They slide the table inside of the ring and follow in as Mac begins setting it up! The bell keeps ringing as referees and security personnel swarm the ring but they can't keep SUMA from picking Bulldog up, and with the aid of his teammates, POWERBOMBS Bulldog through the table! The table EXPLODES into an array of shattered debris and splinters! Bea screams and cries for her husband as the crowd boos, Mac Bane! "Godly" Ken! SUMA! And Dominick Strife stand tall inside of the ring, arms raised!
Simone: My god! What did we just see!?
Adams: A mauling! That is what we just saw! Vinnie and Bill won the match, but those four guys just won the night!
Simone: Fans... I don't know what to even THINK right now! WHO on earth is going to be able to stand up against these four men!? Paramedics are inside of the ring now, tending to Bill... hopefully we'll get an update next week, but for Jason Adams, I am Belinda Simone! Have a great Thanksgiving week to our American fans!
Adams: Gobble, gobble!
The camera showcases the carnage in and around the ring as the credits slowly roll and screen fades...
THANK YOU! to Mark, Chris, The Lord MK, Andy, Mac, Dom, Suma, GKD, Jen, Jeremy, Jass, Shad, Annie, Gerrit, Todd, Julie, JJ, Mark Cross, Laura. Also to Annie again for the match banners and to everyone who roleplayed!
