The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.

A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.

He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;

Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!

Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around at all of the fans filling the rows of seats. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.

Justin: Hello eJessie adds as she lets out a deep breath. veryone and welcome to Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada, and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!

The crowd cheers!

Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!

The fans cheer as Amanda dances her way out onto the stage, microphone in hand and dressed in a tuxedo-style top and skirt, complete with top hat and high heels.

The crowd cheers and applauds as the lights dim down on the stage.

The camera pans over to the ringside area where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams are seated at the broadcasters' table.

Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to this - the Going Home edition of Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone!

Adams: And I'm Jason Adams - and I can't WAIT for tonight!

Simone: This evening indeed will be a grand one as we are at our final stop here in Reno on the Road to Blaze of Glory XI!

Adams: And we are also going to find out the teams for the 2023 Blast From the Past!

Simone: Which is only going to heighten the excitement around this evening, I am certain! Already the Superstars and Bombshells are waiting anxiously to see what fate has in store for them!

Adams: But we're going to start the night off right when Helluva Bottom Carter looks to teach Malachi some lessons in manners in our opening contest!

Simone: Then we get a sneak preview of Blaze of Glory XI and the Bombshell Internet title match when the reigning champion Kayla Richards faces Ariana Angelos in a non-title match!

Adams: It's the Battle of the Badassery when the top contender for the World title, Michael Harris, goes up against the top contender for the Internet gold, "Godly" Ken Davison!

Simone: We spoke earlier of the Bombshell Internet title match at Blaze of Glory XI and the third woman in that match, Melissa, goes up against Chelsea LeClair in singles competition!

Adams: At B;aze of Glory XI, four Bombshells will be in a Roulette Contenders match but tonight they pair off for a tag match when it's Dawn Warren and Seleana Zdunich going up against Kim Pain and Mercedes Vargas!

Simone: The Internet Championship is up for grabs when Alexander Raven defends against the next name on his list of 'corrections' when he faces O'Malley, a man who has beaten him in the past!

Adams: And the Main Event is for the World heavyweight title! Before Mac Bane can face Michael Harris in Vegas, he has to get past "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!

Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!




The camera's cut to the backstage area in front of an open door the plate on the wall reads "Mac Bane". A scraping sound can be heard and as the cameraman rounds the corner, the SCW World Champion is sitting there with a fifteen-pound sledgehammer in his hands. You can see on the concrete in front of him, an "X" has been etched into the surface. He looks up at the camera with a face that has no expression at all.

Mac Bane: The Blast From The Past is what's on everyone's lips today. Not two men vying for a world title.

He stands up, holding the hammer in both hands, and takes a step forward.

Mac Bane: They aren't talking about how many of SCW's roster are begging to be added to the ranks of the saviors.

He takes another step forward, causing the cameraman to involuntarily take a step backward.

Mac Bane: There is one though, who has been accepted, but that will have to wait a bit. BFTP, a mixed tag tournament where the winners get an automatic title shot. The men's title is currently held by me and the women's title is currently held by my wife, Amber.

His expression changes, a smirk and a shake of his head indicating disdain.

Mac Bane: The lineup this year is stacked and so defending the BFTP crown will be harder than ever. My advice to the women is, if you get paired with me, you're in good shape. Be prepared to bust your ass harder than ever in your career. I'll take no prisoners and accept nothing but excellence. I'm one of the few to make it to the finals two years in a row. I plan on being in even more rare air when I win this thing for the second year in a row.

He doesn't move forward but stands where he is. He looks down at the hammer.

Mac Bane: When you watch me fight tonight against Bill, that will serve to hammer home the point. That point is regardless of what some of the returning part-time help have to say. I'm still the main event in this bitch!

He rares back and the feed is cut.




The SCW-Tron above the stage comes to life and showcases the backstage hall of the Reno Events Center where the uber-popular couple of Miles Kasey and Helluva Bottom Carter are walking down the hallway en route to the locker rooms. The crowd comes alive with cheers for the two young men as they are deep in conversation while Miles pulls his man's luggage behind them like the gentleman that he is.

HBCarter: I just don't get why it's such a big deal, Miles!

Miles: I thought you were feeling bad about it?

HBCarter: I wouldn't say 'bad' exactly. More like a little guilty. Just a little bit, though!

The corner of Miles's lips curved upward in a slight smile at Carter attempting (badly) to absolve himself of blame for his recent promo screw up where he had jumped the gun against his scheduled opponent this evening, namely Malachi.

Miles: Still babe, I know Malachi and it's not in his nature to apologize so easily. It surprised me so maybe you could...?

Carter stops and raises an eyebrow at his boyfriend.

HBCarter: I could – what?

Bella: Hi guys!

A pregnant Bella Madison steps onto the scene, drawing rave cheers from the SCW Universe, and her husband Malachi is at her side, his new favorable personality garnering him a similar reaction. Bella walks up and gives Miles a tight squeeze, then turns and does the same for Carter. Bella, so happy for her friend Miles having found someone like Carter to be happy with. She then steps back and links her arm into her husband's own and the two turn their full and undivided attention toward Carter who by now is attempting to look anywhere but at them.

Bella: Carter?

Carter stops his fidgeting, playing with his hair and looks to her.

HBCarter: Hm?

Bella: Isn't there something that you want to say to Malachi?

HBCarter: Yes, yes there is.

He then turns to Malachi.

HBCarter: How come when your head moves, your hair doesn't?

Malachi frowns and looks at Bella who closes her eyes and struggles to smother the smile on her lips. Miles clears his throat.

Miles: Carter, that was a question - albeit a very good one. We were looking for more of a statement.

Carter rolls his eyes and sighs dramatically.

HBCarter: Fiiiine! I'm sorry that you're usually such a dick that people naturally assume you're going to talk trash so they do it first.

Carter then looks from Bella to Miles.

HBCarter: Happy? We good?

Malachi nods.

Malachi: Hey, it's alright. We all make mis-HEY!

Malachi stands up straight, shaking a finger at Carter while turning Bella around to take their leave.

Malachi: I told everyone I was trying to be a changed man – but you're making it hard!

Malachi starts to walk away with his wife but pauses and turns back to see Miles with his hand clamped firmly over Carter's mouth with one arm while wrapping his other around his shoulder. Miles casts a goofy smile at his friend.

Miles: Sometimes I just hasta hug my Carter!

Miles pulls Carter in close and tightly snuggles up to him as Miles just rolls his eyes and takes Bella off-camera.




Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first...

Glee Cast Version of "I Know What Boys Like" begins to play and Carter steps through the curtains, holding an ankle length, sleeveless black robe closed in front of him. he then whips it open, revealing his ring attire of a printed belly t, booty shorts and thigh high boots. He holds one hand behind his head while running the other hand down his body while grinding his hips to the music.

Justin: From Seattle, Washington, weighing one hundred and seventy six pounds, he is the "Hardcore Bottom" -- Helluva Bottom Carter!

Carter drops the robe to the stage and runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and then lays across the top corner, awaiting the start of the match/his opponent's introduction.

Justin: And his opponent... from Waterford, Ireland, weighing one hundred and eight pounds... he is Malachi...

The quiet beginning of "Blood//Water" by grandson begins playing through the speakers as Malachi enters the arena to a decidedly mixed reaction, though the boos slightly edge out the cheers. He simply stares around at the crowd with a look of indifference on his face as he walks down the ramp towards the ring, climbing the steps and entering through the ropes. He climbs the turnbuckle and throws his arms to the side while staring out at the crowd again as his music fades away.

The moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung...

DING DING DING!

Carter and Malachi circle the ring before hesitantly move in, as Malachi reaches out, where they touch fingers before quickly back away, as Malachi again reaches out and the connect fingers but break, as they begin to circle, and Malachi is the more hesitant one as he tries to reach out. They continue to figure out their first move before locking hands but Carter grabs Malachi's hand and drops to knee and pulls his arm close to his chest. Malachi quickly escapes and pulls Carter down to the mat, as Carter tries to pin one of Malachi's legs, but Malachi uses his free leg and wraps it around Carter's neck and pushes him down, but Carter quickly twists and turns and gets to his knees and quickly gets to his feet as does Malachi.

Simone: Little bit of a hesitant start between the two, as they look to get the early advantage. But it's Carter who is first to blink and grabs Malachi hand and drops to his knee. However, Malachi find a way out and pulls Carter down to the mat.

Adams: Malachi takes Carter down with a leg, but Carter wriggles free and they both get to their feet.

Once back to their feet, Carter keeps close and grabs Malachi around the waist but Malachi grabs Carters wrist and breaks his grip before locking in a wrist lock, but Carter is quick to flip onto his back before kipping up to his feet and countering into a wrist of his own and bends Malachi backwards onto the mat, but Malachi quickly arches his back and then turns to get to a better position before he too kips up to his feet and counters and he grabs Carter's arm and then lifts him up and then drops him down to his back and places his knee against Carter's shoulder and locks in a wrist lock.

Adams: Some impressive wrestling here along with counters between the two. As Malachi momentarily gets the upper hand as he counters Carter and lifts him up and then dumps him onto his back and puts a knee of shoulder and then a wrist lock.

The ref moves in and they briefly see a shoulder down and lifts a arm up to make a pin count but Carter lifts his shoulder up to avoid that. Carter then begins to move his legs around and start of spin and Malachi follows. Carter stops and tries to use his legs to free himself with little luck as he tries something else. He tries to his arch his back, he tries to reach out and tries to bring a leg up around Malachi's neck but nothing works. He then tries one more time with his legs and lifts them up and grabs Malachi around the head and neck.

Simone: Carter frees himself as he wraps his legs around Malachi's neck and takes Malachi down.

Carter drags Malachi onto his back and fully locks in the headscissors, which Malachi grabs at Carter's legs and as he plan a way out of the move. He then begins to twists his legs one way before going the other way and he gets to his knees before flipping Carter onto his stomach before rolling himself backwards as he keeps Carter's legs folded before adjusting and turning it into a single leg Boston crab.

Adams: Carter locks in a headscissors and Malachi is already planning his escape. After a few moments, he manages to get free and counters with a single leg Boston crab.

Carter twists a little and grabs at Malachi's ankle before using his free hand to club Malachi's ankle to cause it to slide and unbalance him slightly and he does it again and this time it works, and Malachi turns and ends up face to face with carter. Malachi grabs Carters hand and they begin a struggle as Carter wraps his legs around Malachi's waist, but Malachi grabs one of Carter's legs and breaks his grip and then he grips one of Carter's hands, and they continue to struggle as Malachi tries to get the upper hand. Carter gets a foot up against Malachi's chest, but Malachi uses his weight to push forward as he adjusts his grp on Carter's foot and Carter twists, but the move works in Malachi's advantage and proceeds to stand on Carter's free foot and twist Carter's other foot in his hands.

Simone: Carter manages to wriggle free, but it doesn't last long as Malachi and Carter have a very slow battle as Carter tries to escape but Malachi begins to twist Carter's ankle and cause some pain.

Carter grimaces in pain as Malachi continues to twist Carer's ankle and goes a little bit harder and he cries out in pain as Malachi twist Carters ankle some more. Carter sits up and grabs Malachi's ankle and he rolls himself onto his front, as Malachi adjusts his grip and Carter grabs Malachi's leg and begins to roll himself onto Malachi's leg, which forces Malachi to release. Carter turns and crawls up Malachi's body as he looks to get an advantage as Malachi blocks anything that is aimed at him before Carter then grabs his legs and rolls him onto his front and then locks in a partial front face lock but Malachi gets to his knees before Carter breaks and grabs Malachi's arm and then hooks his arm and rolls him onto his back for a quick pin...

Adams: Carter manages to bit by bit counters the ankle lock as he grabs Malachi's leg, which forces Malachi to release. Carter then slowly manages to get the upper hand on Malachi and gets a pin for it...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Malachi kicks out and rolls away from Carter before getting to a knee, as Carter gets to a knee as well and they stare each other down. They both get to their feet, where they circle the ring before moving back in and lock up, where they jockey for position Malachi breaks and throws in a forearm shot to the side of Carter's head, which rocks Carter. Malachi grabs Carters hand and Irish whips him across the ring and Malachi follows close behind. However, before Malachi can catch Carter, Carter leaps up and then grabs Malachi around the head and neck with his feet and hits the buttocks injection before pulling Malachi close and wiggles his ass before letting go and Malachi stumbles away rubbing his face, while Carter turns and smirks. As Malachi turns Carter rushes forward and hits a double knee facebreaker.

Simone: Its only a two count. As they make their way back to their feet and circle the ring and lock up, where they jockey but Malachi breaks and throws in a forearm shot, which rocks Carter. Malachi sends Carter into the corner, but Malachi is me with a buttock injection.

Adams: Not the best place to be as Carter follows up with a double knee facebreaker and then another pin...

He then goes for a cover...

ONE!

TWO!

Th... kickout!

Simone: Malachi kicks out...

Carter shakes his head and tries again...

ONE!

TWO!

Kickout!

Malachi kicks out again, as Carter makes his way to his feet and grabs a handful of hair and pulls Malachi up and then Irish whips Malachi into the corner, who hits the corner and drops down into a seat position and Carter rushes in and hits a bronco buster. Carter climbs off Malachi and grabs a foot and drags him away from the ropes, where he turns and leaps onto the ropes as he looks for a springboard moonsault. As he lands, Malachi gets his knees up and Carter crashes onto them.

Adams: Malachi kicks out again, but Carter isn't done and he hits an Irish whip and then a bronco buster. Malachi is in trouble here and it doesn't bode well for him going into the next supercard.

Simone: Carter looks for a springboard moonsault but as he comes down, Malachi gets his knees up.

Carter rolls away holding his torso, as Malachi rolls himself to the ropes as he still feels the effect of the double knee facebreaker. The ref move in and checks both for injuries before backing away and begins a count...

ONE!

TWO!

Carter moves to the ropes and sits himself up, while Malachi also pulls himself up as he rubs his head.

Adams: Both men down as Malachi looks to recover as does Carter. Both are hurting.

THREE!

FOUR!

Carter grabs the ropes and pulls himself up, where he holds his ribs and moves to Malachi, where he grabs him by the hair and pulls him up, but Malachi shoves him away and Carter comes back him, but Malachi catches Carter with a headbutt in the chest. Carter drops to a knee and Malachi follows up with a knee strike. Malachi takes a moment before grabbing Carters limp arm and hits the Pure Malice (Devil Inside) and then goes for a pin...

Simone: Both men get back to their feet, as Carter tries to take advantage of Malachi's pain, but Malachi shoves him away but Carter comes back at him and Malachi hits a headbutt to the chest.

Adams: That would not help Carter with his ribs. And Malachi takes advantage of it with a knee strike and then finishes him off with the Pure Malace.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Adams: This gives Malachi a big advantage going into the supercard.

DING DING DING!

Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall... Malachi.

Malachi's music hits over the p.a as he rolls off Carter and slowly makes his way to his feet, where he raises an arm in victory.




Georgie Robertson is seen stalking through the backstage area when she is approached by a cameraman. Before he can even speak, Georgie stops and then turns on the cameraman forcing him to stop quickly.

Georgie Robertson: Oy…what do you think you are doing? I don’t have time to talk to anyone as I am getting ready for the upcoming supercard. And before you think that I had disappeared because I lost to Amber Ryan, our illustrious…

Georgie acts like she is choking slightly on the last words

Georgie Robertson: …Champion, you have to just get that right out of your head right just now. I had to go back home for none of your business.

Georgie holds up her hand.

Georgie Robertson: All I have to tell you is that I am getting ready to challenge for the bombshell roulette title at Blaze of Glory against this Crystal Caldwell person that who has no scooby who she is. Rather, I am getting ready to win the title from her. Now crack on so I can enjoy the rest of the night.

Georgie waves off the cameraman and walks away from him after an eyeroll at his lack of movement. He films her until she disappears.




The camera switches to just outside the office labeled "CHRISTIAN UNDERWOOD" backstage. Christian himself is standing just outside the door, but he's not alone. It's who he is with that is of particular surprise as we see none other than the better half to on and off again Bombshell, Bobbie Dahl—Artie Miller! Bobbie is nowhere to be seen, however, which is unusual given the fact she and Artie are practically inseparable.

Christian: Be sure to tell Bobbie how great it is to have her back for this tournament. It was quite the surprise if I'm honest.

Artie smiles awkwardly and rubs the back of his head as if he is hiding something.

Artie: Oh..sure. Yeah, I'll tell her. Definitely was a surprise.

Christian: Where is she anyway? I was hoping to speak to her personally.

Artie: Where do you think?

Christian chuckles for a moment and nods.

Christian: Of course. She heard about the chocolate lava cake in catering and she's making sure she gets a piece...or three.

Artie nods.

Artie: You nailed it. I'm sure she'll have better luck this time with Fenris being out.

Christian: Very true. Well, it was great chatting with you. We'll be in touch after the teams and brackets are announced.

Christian then walks away to tend to some other business elsewhere in the building. Artie is about to head off to find Bobbie, when Pussy Willow approaches him.

Pussy: Artie! How great to see you here. Did...Did I hear correctly? Is Bobbie entered into the Blast From The Past tournament?

Artie looks a bit nervous and looks around. Making sure they are not being overheard, Artie nods.

Artie: Oh...yeah. She is. But...don't tell her yet. She kinda...doesn't know.

Pussy Willow looks genuinely surprised and confused at hearing this bit of information.

Pussy: Wait...what? She doesn't know? How is that possible?

Artie: I entered her. As her manager, I had the ability to do that. But...I will tell her soon. I just need to find her before she finds out from someone else. It was nice chatting with you, but I really gotta go!

And with that, Artie quickly runs off down the hall to try and find Bobbie. Pussy Willow stands back, scratching and shaking her head.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Ariana Angelos standing in front of her white board which, as usual is being held up by Francisco.

Ariana: Tonight class, we have a special word of the day! Overconfidence!

Francisco: I thought the word was ego?

Ariana: That too! Or more specifically, how Kayla's overconfidence in her abilities spell doom for her reign as Bombshell Internet Champion!

Ariana states as her points to Kayla's picture.

Ariana: If you listen to Kayla, then I'm truly sorry that you had to put up with that bitch's toxic personality and gigantic ego but more to the point, she'll tell you and everyone within earshot that I shouldn't even be getting the title shot at Blaze of Glory XI because Kayla's beaten me before, pop quiz class, how long has it been since I last faced Kayla?

Francisco: Err, in singles or multi-woman matches?

Ariana: Both!

Francisco: Well, you faced Kayla in that Battle Royal at the start of last year's India tour, and before that you faced her in Kayla's second ever match in SCW.

Ariana: Right, and it's almost as if something happened to me in those intervening months, something that gave me a hell of a confidence boost and showed that I can hold my own with some of the best wrestlers in the Bombshell Division! What was it again?

We see the proverbial lightbulb go off above Ariana's head before she moves the pointer to the profile pic she used on Twitter during her reign as Bombshell Roulette Champion.

Ariana: That's right class! I won my first ever singles title! Now Kayla looks down on the division because quite frankly? She competed in it once and rage quit after she failed to win the title at Summer XXXTreme! But not only was I able to do two things that Kayla couldn't, namely.........

Ariana moves the pointer to Melissa's picture.

Ariana: Beat Melissa, twice for that matter!

Ariana moves the pointer back to her picture.

Ariana: But have a first reign that made it past two defences but during that reign? I showed the world why Gabriel and Odette took a chance on a Greek American girl from Pittsburgh four years ago and how it's paid off tenfold! And tonight, win or lose I'll show Kayla just why I'm one of the best up and comers in the Bombshell Division!

Ariana grins as she rests the pointer over her shoulder.

Ariana: That concludes today's lesson class! Your homework will be on how a champion's ego can lead to the end of their title reign! And Kayla? Cracks were starting to form in your reign when you had that time limit draw with Melissa a few weeks ago but tonight as I make you bask in the glow of the Greek Angel's light? I'll be taking a sledgehammer to the wall you've built up around yourself and exposing more cracks in your game! Maybe then you'll realize that your so-called logic doesn't mean shit!

Ariana and Francisco walk off as the scene fades.




Justin: The following contest is a non championship singles match. Introducing first...

The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd.

Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!

Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and removing her cloak ready for her match.

Justin: And her opponent...

The voice of Kayla Richards gives way to the opening guitar riff of Bad Omens "Like a Villian" The lights flash from being on and bright to dark and switching between a dark purple and red.

Justin: From Norwich, East Anglia, England, weighing in at one hundred and twenty eight pounds, she is the SCW Bombshell Internet Champion, she is Kayla Richards!

Kayla Richards steps out onto the stage in her gear, a black leather jacket over it, her long hair flowing down as she makes her way to the ring, she runs and slides up and across the apron on one knee before getting into the ring and putting both her hands in the air, one crossed over the other to make a "K" with her fingers before they turn into a double bird and move down to a fingergun pose pointed at the crowd.

DING DING DING!

Adams: This might be non title but there's plenty of hot sauce in this match.

Ariana and Kayla walk to the middle of the ring but there is no love lost as Kayla slaps Ariana across the face with an open palm.

Simone: They heard that slap in the back row.

Ariana turns her head away but quickly turns back and leaps at Kayla, who ducks a clothesline attempt and hooks Ariana's waist from behind. Kayla lifts Ariana off her feet and drops her face first in to the mat. Kayla releases her arms and sits on the lower half of Ariana, pinning her face down on the canvas and starts to pile in with huge forearm shots to the back of her head, pummelling her with huge, quickfire shots that force Ariana's face in to the mat.

Adams: Ever get the feeling Kayla didn't take too kindly to some of Ariana's comments?

Simone: I don't think Kayla takes kindly to many peoples comments.

Drew yells at Kayla to get off her and Kayla does with a roll of her eyes. Kayla brings Ariana to her feet and grabs her head from behind, putting her in a side headlock. Kayla runs and drops Ariana down with a bulldog, driving her face first in to the canvas.

Adams: Kayla trying to make Ariana not look so pretty after this one.

Kayla gets to her feet and waits for a few seconds for Ariana to slowly make her way to her feet and charges at the ropes. Kayla jumps in the air, using the ropes as a springboard and bounces back, turning in mid air and connects with Ariana's jaw with a springboard knee strike! Ariana flops to the canvas face first but Kayla drops down and rolls her over and goes for the pin. Drew drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Ariana gets a shoulder up

Simone: Kayla made a mistake not hooking the leg.

Kayla picks Ariana up but Ariana throws a punch towards Kayla's head, connecting on top, but Kayla quickly cuts her off with a knee to the gut. Kayla throws Ariana towards the rope but Ariana bounces back and drops her head and spears Kayla!

Adams: If her boots wasn't tied so tight, we'd have been looking at Kayla's tootsies there.

Ariana lays on the mat for a few seconds before quickly springing to her feet. She waits for Kayla to get back to her feet and runs at her. Ariana jumps in the air and spins back, twisting in the air to catch Kayla on the jay with a jumping spinning back elbow.

Simone: Ariana showing some fire in her now.

Ariana pounds the canvas with her hand and gets to her feet. She moves towards Kayla's leg and lifts it up. Ariana hooks it under her arm and twists Kayla over with a single leg Boston crab. Ariana wrenches back on the hold as Kayla wiggles and tries to force her way out. She reaches towards the ropes but quickly figures out she's too far away. Kayla struggles but reaches back to grab Ariana's boot and gives it a firm tug. She tugs again and Ariana falls to get face and Kayla pulls her leg free. Ariana wastes no time in getting back to her feet and as Kayla rolls over and sits up. Ariana jumps up and catches Kayla with a low dropkick, catching her in the chest and sending her back on to the flat of her back. Ariana looks towards the ropes and points to the corner.

Adams: Risky move coming up.

Ariana moves to the corner and quickly climbs to the top with her back to the ring. She glances over her shoulder before jumping off with a moonsault! Ariana crashes down on Kayla's chest.

Simone: And with that risk came reward!

Ariana hooks Kayla's leg and Drew drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Kayla kicks out!

Adams: Ariana was close to the win there.

Ariana gets to her feet and pulls Kayla with her but Kayla quickly turns the tide by putting a thumb in Ariana's eyes, gourging at them. Drew yells at Kayla but Kayla shows him the back of her hand as if to strike.

Simone: Very lady like.

Drew back away and Kayla smiles before turning back towards Ariana. Kayla forces Ariana away a little and lifts her leg, catching Ariana with a huge martial arts style kick to the side of the head, sending Ariana stumbling away. Kayla charges Ariana from behind and jumps up, catching her with a jumping knee strike to the spine. Ariana falls forward and lands chest first on to the middle rope. Kayla moves in and lines herself up before running towards Ariana and jumping in the air, spinning around and landing her rear on to back and shoulders of Ariana, choking her over the middle rope.

Adams: Kayla is not holding back.

Kayla steps off of Ariana and Ariana crawls along the rope to the corner. She turns around and flops in to a seated position and Kayla starts to run towards her, Kayla jumpsin the air and catches Ariana on the chest with a corner shotgun dropkick! Ariana rolls around holding her chest but Kayla continues the attack. Kayla waits for Ariana to get to her feet and as she does, Kayla charges at her and connects on the head with a roaring elbow! Ariana falls to the canvas and Kayla quickly drops down on top of her and hooks the leg. Drew drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Ariana just about shoulder up

Simone: That shot to the head could have rocked her brains.

Ariana pulls herself up to her feet via the ropes and leans with her back towards them. Kayla charges towards her but Ariana ducks and drags the top rope down with her, sending Kayla flying to the floor outside. Ariana makes a move to the middle of the ring and waits, taking a deep breath. Kayla gets to her feet and Ariana runs at the ropes and dives between them, connecting with a suicide dive! Both women crash to the floor outside hard but Ariana quickly gets to her feet as the referee counts. Ariana pulls Kayla to her feet and rolls her in to the ring. Ariana slides in behind her and roughly pulls Kayla to her feet. She hooks up her head and lifts her up, dropping her with an impact DDT!

Simone: Greek pride!

Adams: And it's not even June!

Ariana rolls Kayla on her back and goes for the cover. Drew drops down to make the count!

ONE!

TWO!

Kayla kicks out at the very last second!

Adams: Wow!

Ariana looks around ring and looks towards the top rope.

Simone: Ariana could be looking at putting this one to bed!

Ariana moves to the corner and pulls herself up on the top rope. Ariana looks down and leaps off with a corkscrew shooting star press!

Simone: Angel's Descent!

Adams: No!

At the last second, Kayla rolls out of the way. Without missing a beat, Kayla rolls back and slides on to Ariana's back, moving her arm underneath her throat and rolling back over with a dragon sleeper before putting on a body lock!

Simone: Ghostlock!

Ariana tries to struggle out but Kayla locks it in tight. Ariana has no choice but to tap out!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner.... Kayla Richards!

Simone: What a match! Kayla sent a very clear message to Ariana for Blaze of Glory!

Adams: It does make you wonder how much of a role that will play in that match.

The camera catches a shot of Kayla with their hand raised in the ring before cutting elsewhere.




Climax Control cuts backstage to Chelsea LeClair who is in a spirited mood considering what she's got coming up in front of her. Blaze of Glory may be coming up rather soon, but that's not what is on her mind as much at the moment. Knowing that Melissa is going to be a tough challenge, Chelsea is definitely game focused as she begins to express her thoughts.

Chelsea: I've got a challenge ahead of me tonight because I know that going into it, I am facing someone that, on paper, should be considered one of the more feared members of the Bombshell roster. But the way I see it? I don't think I should fear her. In fact, I honestly don't. Granted, this does NOT mean that I think she's going to be an easy match because I know it WON'T be... or at least I would like to think that it won't be because if the words that she had coming into this match are an indicator of how this match is going to go, this may end up being disappointingly easier than I thought.

Chelsea takes a pause, knowing to be careful to not write Melissa off as a warm up or as a tune up.

Chelsea: Now, don't get me wrong, Melissa, I'm not going to be stupid and say that you're a warm up match for me because based on potential alone, you are far better than that. But I am going to say that I was hoping you'd have far more to say about me than a bunch of empty threats that you'd hear in a school playground. I'm not going to be intimidated by said threats. I've never been one to worry about the injuries that I may suffer in the ring. But see, those types of words that you used against me are proof positive of the lack of depth that you have as a professional wrestler that may anchor you in the long run if it isn't already doing that. I know that you've got a Bombshells Internet Championship triple threat coming up and everything. But, as much as I hate to say it, I'm going to put a serious dent in your momentum going into that match.

Now, I don't know how terrible or how terrific your self-awareness is, but I will say that when you mentioned that what you had to say could be taken as hot air, you were absolutely right because as far as I'm concerned, all of these threats you made toward me are just that: hot air. You know what's worse is that such words are even more inflated than usual considering you've been so inconsistent since you lost the Bombshells Roulette Championship. You're coming into this thing thinking that I am going to be some damsel in distress for you. Maybe it's because of the way I look, I don't know what it is, but I've shown on more than one occasion that I'm far from that.

You can ask Amy Santino about that if you'd like, after I beat you, about the battles we had for the GRIME World Championship toward the end of SCU's time. Because if I can hang with HER, I can definitely hang with YOU!

And not only am I going to hang with you, I am going to beat you! I AM going to get into that momentum boost going into Blaze of Glory against someone that is digging her own grave a lot worse than she realizes. I mean, talk about a foot in mouth moment last week huh?

Chelsea pauses, cringing a bit at what Krystal's attitude was going into that match.

Chelsea: "Tune up match"... taps out to Dawn Warren... YIKES! I mean, she DID say that her match against Dawn was going to be a taste of what's to come at Blaze of Glory right? So... I suppose based on what I saw last week, then what's to come is me trapping her in the TTFO and making her tap out? Yeah, that wasn't good on her whatsoever. She left Climax Control probably regretting the words that she said... or not because she doesn't show regret for anything she says. I mean, she's resorted to name calling toward Andrea now which makes her look WORSE because Andrea made an apology to SCW on Twitter and of COURSE she never acknowledges that because that would fuck up her narrative.

But let's not veer too far from the point. I AM going into that match with momentum and potentially putting myself in the Internet title conversation with a win here. So Melissa, please don't disappoint me in the ring the way you did on camera coming into this thing. I really WANT the challenge... and trust me, I'm not going to regret wishing for that. You're going to be a big statement win for me... and you're going to see why I'm not just a pretty face!

Chelsea leaves, carrying her confidence with her, and then the scene fades out.




Backstage at Climax Control the camera's pick up as Kat Jones and Kimberly Pain are walking backstage and they basically ignore the camera's as they walk right into the Saviors locker room the camera follows them inside and the two ladies share a smirk before jumping the SCW World Heavyweight Champion Mac Bane who only begins to laugh as his sisters hang from him like a couple of spider monkeys.

Kim: One of these days I will get you Mac...

Mac: That will be the day that I did not hear the camera crew following you as well as seeing the both of you in that mirror over there.

Kat: Told you..

Kim grimaced and let go of Mac dropping to the floor..

Kat: So who are you hoping to get in the draw..

Kim: Anyone of the Saviors would be awesome but I would prefer Mac.. He has experience in the tournament.. Won it last year while being the champion.. Any woman in this would be stupid and crazy if they did not want the big man as their partner..

Mac ruffled Kim's hair at which she swatted at his hand.. Recognising the signs of the two older siblings about to start wrestling right there and then Kat jumped off Mac's back..

Kat: And you Mac ?

Mac: Anyone of the Saviors ladies would be cool. All of you can kick ass. But if I could pick, I would want one of the family. Meaning You and Kim naturally, and since you are not wrestling...... Kim will have to do.

Kim: HEY!!! What the fu.. Oomph!

Mac got her in a headlock again and Kat was already rolling her eyes at the two of them..

Kat: Can you two not wrestle or fight for like five minutes.....

Kim and Mac both looked up at Kat with one of those glares that clearly stated "You know better and Shut the Fuck Up.." Kat rolled her eyes...

Kat: Siblings... Can't have a decent convo with them together but can not live without them..

She shrugged and the camera crew left the locker room with Kat, while Kim and Mac were seen locking up and laughing..




As the arena continues to make noise, suddenly all the lights go out briefly.

The crowd is silent. Suddenly, the lights shine on the center of the ring. We see a figure kneeling, draped in black in both cape and robe. The camera spins around this figure, the crowd talking in low voices.

Adams: Who the heck could this be???

Suddenly, the man rises up and pulls back the cowl and takes off the robe, throwing it to the side. He looks up at the crowd, snarling. The crowd noise turns from low noise to a major out roar! The man arches back and roars with rage as the crowd recognizes him!

Simone: Oh my god...it's KAIN!

Kain asks for a microphone and is given one. He steps back and says one sentence.

Kain: I hear there's a tournament coming around the corner....and I have accepted their invitation!

Adams: I can't believe what I just heard! Kain has been in talks with management to make a brief appearance at the upcoming tournament! Such news is huge!!!! HUGE!!!!!!

The crowd is now chanting his name as Kain raises his arms, screaming with excitement as his song is blasted over the Titantron!




Referee Jasmine St. John enters the ring, stepping between the middle and bottom rope. She takes her place in the corner to Justin Decent's right as the introductions for the upcoming match are set to begin.

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish! Introducing first...!

The lights in the arena go down and the sounds of organs fill the arena. After few moments, the first guitar rifts of Deep Purple's "Bad Attitude" fill the arena and the house lights come up and "Godly" Ken Davison stands at the top of the entrance ramp with his arms extended. The arena fills with boos, but Davison soaks them in as though they were the adulation of the masses and he was a returning war hero.

Justin: Introducing first! From Baltimore, Maryland, weighing two hundred and nineteen pounds – "Godly" Ken Davison!

Davison marches down to the ring with a sense of self righteous pomposity when suddenly from behind, a figure emerges through the stage curtains....!

Adams: Look out!

As Michael Harris slams into him from behind with a sneak attack, knocking the Godly One to the ramp! Ken tumbles down in a barrel roll down the ramp and to the floor as Michael strips off his jacket and he begins whipping Ken with it!

Simone: Michael Harris is DESPERATE to prove himself and maintain the opportunity he has against the World Champion, Mac Bane!

Adams: So much so that he'd attack his opponent – and Mac's best friend, from behind!

Michael is all over the fallen ken, delivering a kick to the ribs that sends Davison rolling over! Michael then grabs him by the head and slams him back against the steel guardrail! Jasmine rolls out of the ring and confronts Harris, ordering him to stop this pre-match attack and to allow Ken a chance to start but Harris is relentless! He all but brushes past the senior referee and drops to his knees over Davison and he starts to pummel his skull with bare knuckle fists! Michael then grabs him by the side of the head and BITES Ken's forehead! Ken shouts and thrashes in a wild struggle as Jasmine tries to intervene but Harris simply is not listening! Jasmine then grabs Michael by the arm and pulls him off by force, and Michael jumps to his feet and menaces the referee – but Jasmine does NOT back down!

Simone: Don't you dare! Don't. You. DARE!

Adams: And look! Jasmine is not backing down from him! I don't think Michael Harris knows how to react!

Simone: He should have learned from Christian Underwood; he can not get away with the things here that he has elsewhere!

Michael points a finger in the referee's face but Jasmine slaps it away!Absolutely fuming, Michael turns back to resume his attack on his rising opponent, taking him by the head and he drags him around the ring and over to the broadcaster's table...

Adams: Not here! Not here!

Michael goes to slam Ken's head into the table but Ken blocks it, bracing his own hands on the edge of the table! Michael tries a second time and again it is blocked! Davison then delivers a hard jab into Michael's midsection and counters, slamming Harris's face into the table himself! The sound of Michael's head meeting the hard wood is heard throughout as he bounces back up and staggers away, holding his head! Ken then grabs the stunned ring veteran by the arm and he sends him hard into the steel steps at such force that the momentum carries Michael over the steps and tumbling to the ringside floor!

Simone: Did you HEAR the sound of Michael Harris and the steps meeting one another so unceremoniously!?

Michael slowly gets to his hands and knees and starts to drag himself toward the ring when Ken is right on him, grabbing one of the many power cords lining the rails and he wraps it around Harris's throat, choking the hell out of him!

Adams: Oh it is ON! Now the fight begins!

Simone: And we must remember that the match has not even started yet!

Adams: Blame Michael Harris for that!

Michael's face is deep red and his eyes are wide as his skin is turning a deep red, he gasps and chokes as his fingers tear at the cord around his neck to little or no avail! Ken thrashes him from side to side as the referee is almost helpless in the wake of such animosity! She again has to physically intervene and she grabs Ken by the arm to force him to stop the choke! Ken throws the cord to the floor as Harris is gasping and retching, trying to catch his breath! Ken then grabs him in a front face lock and he lifts him up and over...!

Adams: Oh NO!

And he delivers a vertical suplex right there on the ringside floor! Harris howls in agony as he arches his back, thrashing his body around!

Adams: Do you think he's regretting attacking Ken before the match?

Simone: Maybe just a dollop.

FINALLY - Ken grabs Michael by his hair and drags him up and rolls him inside of the ring, quickly following in himself as Jasmine calls for the bell to start this one in an official capacity!

DING DING DING!

Simone: Well it's about damn time!

Ken pulls Michael up to a seated position and then comes careening off of the ropes and right into a Bomaye knee strike to the head! The blow lays Harris out and Ken goes for the immediate cover!

ONE!

TWO!

TH-Kick out by Harris!

Simone: I am surprised! I thought for sure the damage suffered before the match might have ended this one early!

Ken then sits him back up and whips clubbing forearms around into his head and face from behind! Ken drags Michael back up and bulls him hard into the near corner where he pins him in by standing on the second turnbuckle and he begins unleashing rapid fire fists into Michael's skull with the fans counting along!

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!...

When Harris wraps his arms around Ken's legs and brings him out of the corner for a reverse atomic drop but Ken blocks it! Ken goes for a spinning back fist but Michael ducks at the last possible moment and he doubles Davison over with a boot to the midsection, following right up with a double underhook DDT!

Adams: He planted him! It's over! It has to be!

Michael rolls Ken over onto his back and goes for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-Ken kicks out!

Michael throws him back down and covers him again, hooking the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Ken kicks out!

Michael throws him back down and goes for the THIRD straight pin, hooking BOTH legs as tightly as he can!

ONE!

Ken kicks out at one!

Adams: Just LOOK at the look in Michael Harris's eyes!

Simone: The man is not all there!

Michael Harris is indeed maddened, sitting upright with wide eyes of disbelief and running his hands through his hair! Michel stands up and stares at Jasmine again, arguing with her but the senior referee of SCW is not afraid! Michael turns back to Ken and drags him up to his feet and sends him into the ropes and attempts a standing dropkick – but Ken holds onto the ropes and Michael crash lands on his tailbone! Ken immediately has Harris by the legs and he falls back, catapulting the hall of Fame veteran up and over the ropes and to the ringside floor!

Adams: That was a bad fall!

Simone: Oh and look who showed up to cheer on their meal ticket!

Indeed Michael's two wives, Carmen and Blair Harris, have arrived at ringside to cheer their husband on, whether he wants it or not!

Adams: They're not even supposed to be out here!

Jasmine orders them away from Michael but they ignore her as they take his arms, trying to help him up but he pulls away and struggles back up onto the apron where Ken careens right into him with a pump kick right to the head! The ONLY thing not sending Michael to the floor is his hand on the top rope but it is a close call! Ken grabs him around the head from behind in a Kirafuda clutch and drags him over the ropes and into the ring the hard way! Ken has him, and Harris is beginning to fade when Carmen is on the apron!

Simone: Get her DOWN from there!

And Jasmine goes over to order her down and the moment the ref's back is turned, Harris brings his foot back up between Ken's legs!

Adams: No!

Ken staggers away, bent at the waist and clutching himself and Michael rolls him up in a Backlund cradle! Jasmine turns and sees the pin!

ONE!

Blair grabs BOTH of Ken's boots, preventing the kick out!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

The crowd boos as Michael rolls out of the ring and is swarmed by his two wives who embrace him!

Justin: Here is your winner! MICHAEL HARRIS!!!

BOOS!

Simone: Damn it! Thanks to those two gold diggers, Michael Harris is the winner!




Goth and Melissa can be seen sitting in the locker room as Melissa prepares for her match

Goth: Tonight you have your match, plus we will hear who we will be teaming up with in the Blast From The Past tournament

Melissa turns her attention towards him and smiles

Melissa: You do know they won't likely put us together right???

Goth chuckles as he shakes his head

Goth: I would assume that the luck of the draw determines it, but I wouldn't look past the bosses to have put a dot on either of our names to make sure they won't draw us together. But still, enough members of the Saviors are left to work with

Melissa smiles as she walks over to him and kisses his lips

Melissa: You mean, you want to tag with Kim right???

Goth chuckles as he turns his attention towards her

Goth: As if you don't want to tag with Ken, Mac, Chris, Peter right???

The two laugh as they hold each other

Goth: It will probably be my last chance to win this tournament and I really want to win this one and face the champ Mel. But if you manage to win it, then I will be just as happy for you.

The two smile as the shot fades




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Krystal Wolfe hanging out with her younger cousin/fellow wrestler Cassie.

Cassie: So yeah, Sandie was like, SUPER CUTE as usual and mom did freak out when I told her about the new fed I was joining, you know, Necropolis: Dead City Wrestling? I assured her that I'll be okay though!

Cassie realizes that the older Aussie isn't paying attention to her and the teenager frowns.

Cassie: Err, Krystal? Hello? Earth to Krystal?

Cassie snaps her fingers in front of Krystal's face and she turns to her cousin.

Krystal: Sorry Cass, were you saying something?

Cassie lets out an aggravated sigh as she shakes her head.

Cassie: Never mind, you've been tuned out all weekend, not even sure why I agreed to come with you to the show this week!

Krystal: Sorry, I was miles away, mostly because as we get closer to Blaze of Glory the bigger the Chelsea problem becomes!

Cassie: All because of those comments you made about Andrea?

Krystal: Comments I still stand by because as far as I'm concerned? Chelsea needs a reality check about her friend! But there's one other part of it.

Krystal says as she turns to Cass.

Krystal: The end of my title reign.

Cassie: Wait, what? But that was over a year ago!

Krystal: And since then I've been directionless! Thrown into random matches on Climax Controls or PPVs, occasionally getting title matches, hell I was nearly left off the Violent Conduct card before Jessie stepped down from her match against Sam!

Cassie: You still got on the Inception VI card.

Krystal: By signing myself up or that massive clusterfuck of a Roulette Title Match! Things need to change in my career, especially since the twins will be two months away from being born by the time Blaze of Glory XI rolls around!

Cassie: So, what do you plan to do about it?

Krystal: Let me worry about that! You'll be my guest at Blaze of Glory XI, you'll see for yourself one way or another.

Krystal adds as she shakes her head.

Krystal: But first? I've got a former SCU co-worker who needs a reality check!

Krystal walks off without another word and Cassie watches her cousin leave.

Cassie: Well, that was fucking ominous!

Cassie mutters to herself as the scene fades.




Bea Barnhart appears at the top of the landing on the entrance area. She raises a mic and begins to comment. Half the crowd boos her and the other half cheers for her.

Bea: I'm out here to address the upcoming Blast From The Past Tournament. Both myself and Bill have participated in the Blast From The Past and those times we did we ended up with jerk partners who failed to carry their part of the tag team. This year I entered the Blast From The Past hoping to be teamed with someone who gives a damn about participating, and winning, the Tournament. Watch and see what I'm capable of.

Bea finishes her comments then she turns around and walks back into the backstage area.




Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control! This next match was scheduled for last week's show but got delayed for an unknown reason! Well, we can happily confirm that it will take place tonight as Chelsea LeClair takes on Melissa in singles action.

Adams: Chelsea is set to take on Krystal Wolfe at Blaze of Glory and a win here would set her on the right track! But Melissa has been called a rookie sensation for a good reason!

Simone: This match has been delayed enough! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Love you to Death from Type O Negative: We hear a violin and a piano playing softly in the background before the dark voice of Peter Steele can be heard softly singing until he utters the Beast is Going to get ya yeah.... This causes flames to shoot out from the entrance ramp as Melissa walks out to the arena accompanied by Goth and CCPE's CEO Kat Jones

Justin: Coming down the ring accompanied by Hall of Famer Goth as well as Kat Jones!!! Standing in at 5'9 and weighing in at 130 pounds!! Hailing from Manhattan, New York!! Lady Goth!! Melissa!!!!

The threesome walk to the ring, totally ignoring the crowd until they reach the middle of the ramp way. Melissa extends her arms as we hear Peter Steele sing Your wish is my command, causing Goth to take off her robe that she is wearing revealing her in ring wrestling gear. She walks towards the ring, slides underneath the bottom rope and stares at the crowd for a moment before turning her gaze towards Goth as we hear the chorus softly start to swing Let me Love you .... To death... as the two blow a romantic kiss towards each other. Melissa then stands up and walks over towards her corner to await her opponent.

Simone: It still boggles my mind that Melissa has only been wrestling for a year!

Adams: And she's accomplished so much! She's won one title and is set to challenge Kayla alongside Ariana for the Bombshell Internet Title at Blaze of Glory!

Justin: And her opponent!

"Chelsea" by STEFY hits and the fans cheer as Chelsea LeClair walks through the curtains, poised, confident and determined to make things happen in this match as she begins to walk down the aisle. She soaks in some cheers a bit as she gets to ringside and at this point, she's all business as she slides into the ring. Soaking things in a bit more, she climbs up the corner to the second rope with a smile, a fist raised in the air and a quick point to the crowd before she hops back down to the corner, leans against it, and waits for the match to begin.

Justin: From Ocean City, New Jersey, CHELSEA LECLAIR!

Simone: This is Chelsea's second match as a Bombshell and she's looking to keep that winning streak going.

Adams: This was scheduled for last week's show but......

Before the match can get underway there is a commotion from the crowd as a familiar face makes her presence known at the top of the ramp.

Simone: It was a matter of time before Krystal made her presence known! The Aussie had had her issues with Chelsea as of late!

Adams: Not to mention the fact that Melissa is taking on her Go Gym teammate Ariana Angelos and Kayla Richards for the Bombshell Internet Title! But who's interest is she serving here? Hers or Ariana's?

Chelsea glares up the ramp at Krystal as the Adelaide native produces a steel chair, sits it up at the top of the ramp and sits down on it with her arms crossed, seizing the opportunity Melissa clobbers Chelsea from behind knocking the Blonde Bombshell to the ground and prompting Jacob to call for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: Krystal may be taking a neutral approach to this match but her presence did let Melissa get the jump on Chelsea!

Adams: We'll see if she stays neutral!

Krystal's face remains expressionless as she watches Melissa stomp away at Chelsea from the top of the entrance ramp and Jacob tries to get Melissa to back off from Chelsea, she does so after a few minutes only to Melissa to pick Chelsea up and nail her with a Suplex! Chelsea lands hard and Melissa goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!

And Chelsea kicks out! Melissa shakes her head whilst Kat and Goth shout words of encouragement from the ringside area neither of them taking much notice of the third observer of the match.

Simone: I have to wonder why Goth and Kat haven't gone up the ramp to tell Krystal to stay out of Melissa and Chelsea's business.

Adams: Who knows how these Saviours operate? But she's not getting involved directly so that likely explains why they aren't doing that!

We see a bit of movement from Krystal as she crosses one leg over the other and leans back but that's about it as Melissa picks Chelsea up only for the New Jersey native to hit the rookie sensation with a jawbreaker sending Melissa stumbling back to the middle of the ring and leaving Melissa open to a jumping cutter from Chelsea! Chelsea wastes little time in going for a pin on Melissa keeping her eyes on Krystal throughout.

ONE!

TWO!

And Melissa gets the shoulder up! But Chelsea grabs the larger Bombshell's legs and locks her in a Boston Crab synching in the hold tight.

Simone: Chelsea has changed up her tactics and is relying on her submission expertise to get the job done! Possibly as a message to Krystal who is well known for her own submission expertise.

Adams: Either that or Chelsea just wants to keep the pressure on Melissa! Or both!

Jacob gets into position to ask Melissa if she wants to submit and the rookie sensation refuses as she starts crawling to the ring rope facing the entrance ramp, as she does this Kat makes her way over to the ring ropes to help provide her support whilst Goth remains put and gives his encouragement from his current position, after a few minutes Melissa reaches the bottom rope forcing the rope break and Chelsea lets go upon being instructed to do so by Jacob and whilst that's going on Kat helps Melissa out of the ring to recuperate.

Simone: Melissa is out of the hold and is new regrouping with Kat!

Adams: We'll see how long that lasts! Chelsea is a noted highflyer!

Indeed, as soon as Chelsea sees that Melissa is on the outside she starts measuring her up for a Suicide Dive and gets the running start! Melissa spots this but as she has no time to get out of the way without endangering the retired wrestler she shoves Kat out of harms way and takes the full brunt of the dive from Chelsea bringing the crowd to their feet in the process! However Chelsea quickly loses site of her goal and starts pointing and yelling at Krystal, though what she's saying exactly can't be picked up.

Simone: Chelsea had better refocus on the match before Melissa takes advantage of her latest distraction!

Adams: Again, Krystal's not getting involved directly but her presence is enough to distract Chelsea on it's own, something that Melissa should take advantage of!

Indeed, Melissa starts measuring up Chelsea when she realizes that her back is turned and when Chelsea does turn around Melissa nails her with a Spear! Krystal's expression remains expressionless as Melissa picks up Chelsea and throws her back into the ring before following her in and going for her second pin off the match!

ONE!

TWO!

And Chelsea kicks out! But Melissa soon turns the tables on Chelsea by locking in her own submission hold on her, this time it's a Camel Clutch!

Simone: A Camel Clutch may look like a simple move, but it puts a lot of pressure on the lower back and neck! And given Melissa's size advantage over Chelsea, that's extra painful!

Adams: I must say, I'd hate to face Krystal at poker because she has one hell of a poker face!

Indeed, Krystal doesn't show much emotion as Melissa cranks up the pressure on the Camel Clutch making sure that Chelsea's face is facing the entrance ramp and her rival! But this proves to be a rookie mistake on Melissa's part as it allows Chelsea to have easier access to the ring ropes and the New Jersey native is able to break the hold by grabbing the bottom rope with her free hand and whilst Melissa does let go of the hold, she drags Chelsea up in a position that suggests a ripcord move of some kind.

Simone: Whatever Melissa has in mind is bad news for Chelsea!

Adams: And great news for Melissa!

Melissa goes for a ripcord variant of her Shade of Black finisher but Chelsea ducks under it and nails Melissa with a German Suplex! Chelsea bridges for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Melissa gets the shoulder up! Both women slowly get to their feet as the long match has taken it's toll on them but when they do Melissa and Chelsea go for a cross body at the same time causing them to crash and burn and prompting Jacob to start his ten count.

Simone: We have a double down here! Whoever gets up first will have a huge advantage!

Adams: Especially when you look at what's at stake for them! Melissa needs momentum for her title match at Blaze of Glory and Chelsea wants a win to one up Krystal ahead of their match!

Krystal doesn't budge from her spot as Jacob's count reaches five, at the count of seven Melissa gets back to her feet first and calls for her finisher.

Simone: We saw her attempt a ripcord variant of this and now Melissa's trying for the regular Shade of Black!

Adams: Melissa has put away several Bombshells with that move including some of the best in the company, will Chelsea be the latest?

Melissa measures up Chelsea for her finisher and goes for the Shade of Black once Chelsea is back on her feet only for Chelsea to duck it and hit Melissa with a STO! Sensing an opportunity to finish it Chelsea heads to the top rope before pointing to Krystal at the top of the ramp and nailing her Corkscrew Moonsault finisher!

Simone: Melissa has just been CANCELLED!

Adams: Chelsea got all of that! Stick a fork in Melissa, she's done!

Chelsea goes for the pin!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here is your winner, Chelsea LeClair!

Simone: Chelsea's win streak continues heading into her match against Krystal at Blaze of Glory!

Adams: Great effort from Melissa here! Oh, oh, Krystal's stood up and has the chair in her hands again!

Whilst Goth and Kat help Melissa out of the ring Krystal stands up and holds up her chair, seemingly ready to charge down to the ring and lay out Chelsea! However the Aussie shakes her head before dropping the chair and applauding Chelsea.

Simone: Can't tell if that was sincere or mocking.

Adams: Who knows? But I bet I can guess what Chelsea thinks of that!

As Krystal finishes her applause Goth Melissa and Kat reach the top of the ramp and have some words with the Australian Bombshell! Again, what's being said isn't picked up but Krystal nods before the trio make their way to the back Krystal points at Chelsea in a threatening manner before following them to the back.

Simone: What was that about? Are The Saviours trying to recruit Krystal?

Adams: Can't say I blame them for trying, just look at her Roulette Title run!

Chelsea shakes her head before heading to the back celebrating her win along the way.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Jessie Salco standing by.

Jessie: You know, when I made that open challenge last week I had no idea that the bosses had a rematch with Alicia Lukas in mind for me, guess it would've made a change from the new girls at least.

Jessie adds before shaking her head.

Jessie: But no, Alicia has been dead quiet since tweeting a gif of a woman shaking her head! Is she that afraid of being so past it that she's trying to get out of a match against a woman who's only ever beaten her once in a Fatal Four Way Math where Alicia wasn't even pinned?

Jessie rhetorically as she folds her arms.

Jessie: Or maybe I hit that sore spot a little too hard when I pointed out that Zoey is more relevant now than Alicia's been in years? At least when Zoey feels like wrecking shit, it's fun to watch in a car crash kinda way! Don't believe me? Go back and watch her match against Cindy from a couple of weeks ago and you'll see what I mean!

Jessie adds before shaking her head.

Jessie: But now that Alicia's status is up in the air, what exactly am I doing at Blaze of Glory? The bosses can't be that eager to leave one of their newest Hall of Famers of a Supercard, can they? I'm not reissuing the open challenge because for all I know Alicia's going to change her mind but if she doesn't? Fuck it, just give me one of the new girls so I can go back to my role as the Bombshell Division's gatekeeper!

Jessie adds as she lets out a deep breath.

Jessie: But if Alicia does grow a pair of balls and shows up for Blaze of Glory? I'll happily show the SCW Universe just how washed up you are when I pin you for the 1........2........3!

Jessie walks off as the scene fades.




Backstage, Ms. Rocky Mountains stands by with SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas. Tellingly, there's a promotional poster of Blaze of Glory XI set upon an easel just behind them. Mercedes is seemingly bored out of her mind as Rocky divides her attention between the camera and her guest.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: I'm here with SCW Hall of Famer, Mercedes Vargas. In two weeks at Blaze of Glory, it will be you, Mercedes, versus Kim Pain versus Seleana Zdunich versus Dawn Warren in a four-way for number one contendership for the Bombshell Roulette Championship. Crystal Caldwell defends the title against Georgie Robertson at the supercard. Coming up later tonight on the final Climax Control before Blaze of Glory, you will team up with Kim Pain against Dawn Warren and her mentor Seleana Zdunich, someone you have a lot of history with. Like Seleana, you are also still winless to start the new year. Now after being pinned by Roxi Johnson in the Bombshell Championship number one contender's match also including Alicia Lukas, how do you plan on-

Mercedes: No, no. I'm...I'm not feeling this. Tell you what, Rocky. I'm going to take this-

Mercedes rips the mic away, then turns towards the buxom interviewer.

Mercedes: And you are going to go away, okay? Because I can do your job better.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Wait, what? But I haven't even aske-

Not even before the backstage interview asks her first question that the Hall of Famer quickly dismisses her with a hand to her face.

Mercedes: Do I need to say it again? Go. Away.

Mercedes closes in the distance between herself and Rocky until she is now in her face.

Mercedes: BYE!

Rocky gets the hint and scatters, leaving Mercedes to take over the segment.

Mercedes: So Blaze of Glory is just around the corner, and yours truly will be there. Did you think I would miss this night? Not for nothing would I miss this night. Not for nothing was I going to be left off a supercard that I have been apart of for each of the last nine events.

Mercedes raises an index finger in a wait-a-minute gesture.

Mercedes: Just because I missed out on an opportunity to main event Blaze of Glory and contend for the Bombshell Championship, doesn't mean you people get the satisfaction of not seeing me there, oh no, because it wouldn't be Blaze of Glory without Mercedes Vargas!

Mercedes seems to hold back a laugh, but the feeling was so overwhelming that she turns away from the camera for a moment. When she's able to get a hold of herself again, she holds up one hand in an apologetic gesture.

Mercedes: As far as tonight goes, I'm going against Dawn Warren and Seleana Zdunich in a tag match, with Kim Pain as my partner. Sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday night. Everybody knows what I'm about. I'm all-go, all the time. Kim Pain doesn't mess around in the ring. She doesn't wrestle, she slays. She's a destroyer. I'm just glad she's on my team.

For the first time, a smirk crosses her face.

Mercedes: Kim and I are a deadly combination. And this match against Dawn and Seleana? This isn't a contest, much less a competitive one. Kim and I may not like each other, but we're not scared of either of you. We're not even the LEAST bit fazed.

Mercedes crosses her arms in front of her in challenge.

Mercedes: Maybe I'm not where I need to be as the superior talent than I am and maybe I haven't won a match yet in the new year, but that's going to change tonight. Because like the phoenix I will rise again and like the empire I will strike back. And that's bad news for who we're up against. There's just one thing to say.

Mercedes gives a murderous look at the camera.

Mercedes: Dawn, Seleana. Party of two? Your asskicking is waiting.




The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the two teams competing in tonight's Roulette Rules Match, Dawn Warren and Seleana Zdunich and Kim Pain and Mercedes Vargas, waiting to hear what match they'll be competing in tonight.

Simone: At Blaze of Glory XI those four women will compete for a chance at the Bombshell Roulette Title but tonight we're getting a preview where they will compete in a Roulette Rules Tag Match!

Adams: Two newcomers to the division teaming with two veterans of the division, this is gonna be a good one!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready ladies?

The four women nod and Rocky gives the wheel a spin, after a few moments the wheel stops on a brand-new stipulation.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight's match will be a Three Ring Circus Match! God I hope this isn't the 12 Labours of Hercules Match all over again!

The two newcomers exchange curious looks whilst their partners chuckle and Rocky gets the word on the rules.

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Okay, so this will be under Tornado Tag Team Rules and No DQ is in effect, but all the action has to be confined to the rings.

Kim: Okay...........

Dawn: Wait, rings? As in plural?!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: That's right! Because this match will feature three connected wrestling rings and whilst you are allowed to leave the ring to get a weapon, you won't be able to use it until your inside the one of the rings, first pinfall or submission wins!

Simone: Well, we've seen some unique stipulations on the Roulette Wheel but this will be a first!

Adams: I do not envy the cameramen or the referee for this one!

Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck ladies!

The two teams split off to plan for the match as the scene fades.




We cut to the ringside area where we see that two more rings have been constructed and the ringside area modified to accommodate the two new rings, Justin Decent stands on a platform between the rings which is how the rings are connected and each ring has a different ref, ring one has Dawn Barnes, ring two has Jasmine St. John and ring three as Drew Patton.

Simone: Well folks, I have to assure you that you are not seeing things and yes, there are three rings prepared for our next match! Dawn Warren, Seleana Zdunich, Kim Pain and Mercedes Vargas will compete for a chance at the Bombshell Roulette Title at Blaze of Glory but tonight we are getting a preview of that match as Dawn and Seleana team up to take on Kim and Mercedes in a Roulette Rules Match! And the wheel landed on Three Ring Circus!

Adams: You see those rings? All the action has to be confined to those rings and the platforms connecting them! No DQ is in effect and as this is a tag match, so is Tornado Tag Rules! And because keeping track of the action in three rings would be too much for one ref, the bosses have assigned Drew and Jasmine to help out Dawn with the officiating.

Simone: This is going to be an interesting match! Let's take it to Justin!

Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is a Tag Team Roulette Rules Match! And thanks to a spin of the wheel we know that it'll be a Three Ring Circus Match!

The crowd cheers as Justin prepares to go over the rules.

Justin: Both teams will start in ring one but they must keep the action confined to the rings and the platforms connecting them! This match will be no disqualification and the first team to get a pin fall or submission wins! Introducing first!

Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.

Justin: Making her way to the rings, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!

Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the rings, Mercedes stops just short of the Three Ring Circus as she waits for Kim to make her entrance.

Simone: Mercedes is in no hurry to enter the circus!

Adams: I bet she has a game plan with Kim, they are both veterans of the sport!

Born to Raise Hell by Motorhead starts to play and Kimberly Pain comes out from behind the curtain and stands still for a moment looking at the crowd.

Justin: And her partner! Making her way to the ring.. Representing HellsGates.. She is Kimberly Pain!

Kimberly walks down to the ring and gives a hip pop before she joins Mercedes, they share a nod before they immediately start searching for the hardware underneath the rings and start throwing them into the ring.

Simone: That confirms it, Kim and Mercedes want to get the weapons out early!

Adams: Kim's only been in SCW for a few weeks but don't let that fool you, she is a veteran of the sport!

Justin: And their opponents!

Once Kim and Mercedes are satisfied with their handiwork they finally enter Ring #1 just in time for the arena to fade to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Justin: From Halmstad, Sweden, "The Cat" Seleana Zdunich!

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the rings, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on, much like Kim and Mercedes she waits for her partner to make her entrance, taking in the sight in front of her.

Simone: Seleana is on her latest attempt to win a title!

Adams: And with her wife being the champ? You know things are going to be personal there!

Ain't it Fun by Paramore begins to blast across the speakers. As it does Dawn makes her way out from behind the curtains smirking.

Justin: And her partner! She is "The Pink Puppy" DAWN WARREN!

She claps the hands of the roaring fans before meeting Seleana on the ramp and sharing a high five.

Simone: Like Kim, Dawn has only been in SCW for a short time but she's proven herself to be a worthy competitor!

Adams: One undefeated streak will end tonight, either Dawn or Kim's! Whether Seleana or Mercedes will play a part in that remains to be seen!

Dawn and Seleana nod before they rush into the first ring! Kim and Mercedes bullrush them and a brawl ensues as Dawn (the ref) calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Simone: And what has to be the most unique Roulette Rules Match ever is underway!

Adams: And we're still in February!

The two teams trade blows in the middle of the ring whilst the three refs watch the action closely (and Justin gets the hell out of dodge before the action spills out onto the platform), Eventually the teams split off into separate pairs with Mercedes trading blows with Seleana whilst the two newcomers Kim and Dawn back themselves into a corner, Dawn goes for a wild right hand but Kim ducks under it before she goes for a running clothesline only for Dawn to backdrop Kim over the ropes and onto one of the platforms! Back across the ring Mercedes takes control of the brawl against Seleana by hitting her with a Drop Toe Hold onto a trash can but seeing her partner in peril Mercedes changes her focus to helping Kim out.

Simone: The action has been fast and furious so far and both teams are already down a member after Kim and Seleana took moves from Mercedes and Dawn!

Adams: Dawn had better watch out for Mercedes though!

Dawn turns around just in time to see Mercedes clobber her from behind giving Kim a chance to recover and hit Dawn with a leaping Enziguri from the apron causing Dawn to stumble forward into a Brainbuster from Mercedes which is then followed up by Kim hitting a springboard senton on Dawn! Mercedes motions for Kim to go for the pin as Seleana rushes over!

ONE!

TWO!

And Seleana breaks up the pin by literally shoving Mercedes onto Kim! Kim retreats to the second ring where Jasmine checks on her but Seleana follows Kim into the second ring after DDTing Mercedes onto a chair!

Simone: The second ring is coming into play for the first time tonight!

Adams: And after the first pin of the match too boot!

Once Seleana is in the second ring she takes stock of the weapons that have been thrown into the ring before noticing a table and a bag of thumbtacks! Seleana grabs the thumbtacks and empties the bag onto the matt and then sets up the table in the middle of the ring but before Seleana can move on with her plan Mercedes joins her in the third ring and clobbers her in the back with the chair she was just DDTed onto! Mercedes nods to Kim back the Argentinian Bombshell sets Seleana up on the table and Kim heads up to the top rope.

Simone: Kim and Mercedes have never teamed before but they are working very well together to work over Seleana and Dawn!

Adams: Speaking of Dawn, she's on her feet and looks ready to put a stop to whatever Kim and Mercedes have in mind for Seleana!

Kim takes a little too long to steady herself on the top rope and pays for it when Dawn springboards between rings to hit Kim with a Hurricanrana off the top rope sending her into the thumbtacks in the process! Kim is loudly screaming and swearing in pain as she feels the thumbtacks in her back and Mercedes takes her eyes off of Seleana for the moment allowing the Swedish Bombshell to get off the table and grabs the nearest weapon she can, namely a baseball bat which she uses the crack into Mercedes's midsection!

Simone: It didn't take long for the tide the turn in Dawn and Seleana's favours!

Adams: And that bad news for Kim and Mercedes!

Seleana sets up Mercedes on the table after hitting her with the baseball bat enough times to break it and calls out to Dawn (the wrestler) and points to the top rope! The excitable youngster nods before she heads to the top rope right as Kim is starting to stir but Kim doesn't recover in time to prevent Dawn Warren from putting her partner through the table with a Moonsault! The move took just as much out of Dawn as it did Mercedes but she still goes for the pin.

ONE!

Seleana spots Kim getting back onto her feet and goes to intercept her before she can break up the pin!

TWO!

But Seleana isn't fast enough as Kim breaks up the pin by literally spearing Seleana onto Dawn saving the match for her team!

Simone: The lengths these women will go to win this tag match are unreal!

Adams: And this is just the preview for the #1 Contenders Match they'll have at Blaze of Glory!

Mercedes and Dawn are still recovering from their big move leaving Seleana and Kim to pick up from where their match from a couple of weeks ago left off with the two woman exchanging blows! The action soon spills out to the third ring after Seleana clotheslines Kim onto the platform separating the rings but Kim takes control of the action with a Spinebuster onto the platform! Kim then picks up Seleana and throws her into the third ring where Drew quickly checks on the Blonde Bombshell.

Simone: The action has spilled into the third ring but Dawn and Mercedes are starting to regain their bearings in ring two!

Adams: Kim and Seleana don't seem to have noticed though and that could be to their detriment!

After a quick survey of the weapons Kim and Mercedes threw into the third ring Kim settles on a Barbed Wire Steel Chair and waits for Seleana to get back to her feet, at least until Mercedes calls out to Kim to warn her off Dawn's incoming charge as Dawn Warren is going for a Double Springboard move again but this time Kim catches Dawn out of mid-air with the steel chair sending Dawn crashing to the matt.

Simone: Dawn's going to feel that hit in the morning!

Adams: The wrestler or the ref?

Simone: Probably both based on Dawn the ref's wince!

Kim takes the time to work over both Dawn and Seleana with the barbed wire steel chair busting them open in the process ring Mercedes joins her in ring three! Mercedes spots a couple of open trash cans and spins Kim around before motioning to the cans and Kim grins as she gets the idea! Discarding the chair for the moment Kim wraps Dawn in a trash can whilst Mercedes does the same to Seleana.

KIM AND MERCEDES HIT DAWN AND SELEANA WITH SIMULTANIOUS FROG SPLASHES FLATTENING THE TRASH CANS AGAINST THEIR OPPONENTS!

Simone: OH MY GOD! That has to be it!

Adams: Will Seleana and Dawn even make it to Blaze of Glory XI after that?!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

The frog splashes took just as much out of Kim and Mercedes as it did Dawn and Seleana but they still manage to go for simultaneous covers on Dawn and Seleana!

ONE!

TWO!

DAWN AND SELEANA KICK OUT SIMULTANIOUSLY!

Simone: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Dawn and Seleana are still conscious?!

Adams: Normally we'd see the talent argue with the refs over that but I don't think Kim and Mercedes are in any condition to do that! Not to mention which ref they'd plead their case too!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESSOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!

In a normal tornado tag match the ref would start a ten count but this is about as far removed from a normal tag team match that you can get and the refs meet on the platforms between the rings to discuss what to do! They eventually decide to apply the usual rule that applies to No DQ matches, namely waiting for any of them to sir first and they return to their respective rings! Dawn is the first one to stir and the young wrestler removes the ruined trash can from her body revealing her bruised and bloody self! She spots Mercedes close to her and goes for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

And Mercedes kicks out! Whilst that is going on Kim and Seleana re starting to stir and Seleana isn't looking that much better than Dawn for that matter! Regardless the two Bombshells start trading blows again and it takes them to the first ring.

Simone: Well, the Bombshells have been all over the three-ring circus!

Adams: We've yet to have pins happen in separate rings though!

Whilst that is going on Dawn and Mercedes start trading blows in the third ring but two separate breaking points happen in the separate brawls, Mercedes gets a hold off the barbed wire chair that Kim used earlier in the match and uses it to whack Dawn in the back before Powerbowbing her onto the chair whilst in ring one Kim gets taken down by Seleana by way of a Hurricanrana! Mercedes and Seleana unknowingly go for simultaneous pins on their opponents!

ONE!

TWO!

AND KIM AND DAWN KICK OUT AT THE SAME TIME! Seeing that her partner's in trouble and thinking that Dawn isn't a threat right now Mercedes returns to the first ring and hits Seleana with the chair before breaking it over Seleana and the two veterans start stomping away at Seleana, that is until Dawn Warren recovers from her punishment and sees her partner in peril!

Simone: Dawn had better hurry if she wants to help Seleana!

Adams: Your not kidding, Kim and Mercedes are showing the Swede no mercy!

Dawn has to think fast and she charges the ropes before hitting the two veterans with a Springboard Cross Body with some serious height on it! Dawn goes for a double pin on Mercedes and Kim whilst Seleana rolls out of the way!

ONE!

TWO!

And Kim and Mercedes kick out simultaneously! Dawn gets up and motions to Seleana that it's time to end it with their respective finishers, the Kattoga and Think Pink on Kim and Mercedes respectively!

Simone: They are going for a simultaneous finisher finish with the Kattoga and Think Pink!

Adams: Can they hit it!

Unfortunately for Dawn and Seleana,, their attempts at their finishers get blocked with Mercedes backdropping Dawn back into the ring and Kim putting the breaks on Seleana's finisher by shoving her off! To make matters worse for Dawn and Seleana? The veteran team steal their ideas, Mercedes hitting the Black Rose Overdrive on Dawn and Kim hitting the Lights Out of Seleana!

Simone: BLACK ROSE OVERDRIVE ON DAWN AND LIGHTS OUT ON SELEANA!

Adams: Dawn and Seleana are out! Stick a fork in them, they are done!

Kim goes for the pin on Seleana!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: Here are your winners, Mercedes Vargas and Kim Pain!

Simone: Mercedes and Kim get the win ahead of the Fatal Four Way!

Adams: But there's already tension between them! I think it's safe to say that the alliance is a one and done example!

Kim and Mercedes stare each other down as the refs check on Dawn and Seleana.




Pussy Willow moves along the hallway heading towards the backstage area and walks right by a woman who is standing looking around the area. She is dressed in a pair of jeans and a black jacket with a long red ponytail hanging down her back. Pussy is surprised when the redhead backs into her and then turns quickly.

Sam Marlowe: Oh em gee...I am sooo sorr...Pussy, hey there?!?

Pussy Willow: Hey to you stranger, what are you doing here?

Sam Marlowe holds out her hands and shrugs slightly.

Sam Marlowe: You know that it is that time of year and well, since I have some time on my hands...I'm looking for a temporary thing. So I thought why not coime back and see if I still got it.

Pussy Willow: Are you saying what I think you are saying? Have you come back to SCW?

Sam Marlowe: Whoa hold on there Pussy. I didn't say that I was here full-time. But tis the season, right?

Pussy looks confused as Sam smiles.

Pussy Willow: The season? What season?

Sam Marlowe: The season for Blast from the Past. Don't tell me that you forgot about it.

Pussy shakes her head negatively which makes Sam laugh.

Sam Marlowe: My pal told me I should throw my name in the hat. So, I thought I would. And speaking of which, I guess I best go and find the best place to see the drawing to find out whom I have as my partner this year.

With that, Sam begins to back away with a small wave to Pussy then turns to head further into the venue leaving the interviewer to watch her walk away before she herself turns and heads in the other direction looking for her next interview.




Kingingiseisha "Hitamashii" Shirasu is seen with his friends, Casey Williams, Andrew Garcia and Ivan Darrell. Hitamashii is here to discuss Blast From the Past Tournament.

Hitamashii: I am looking forward to stepping back inside the ring again and competing in the Blast From the Past tournament.

Casey: I also am entered in the tournament as a surprise entrant and hopefully we both go far into the tournament with our respective partners.

Hitamashii and Casey turn to each other as they, with their friends in tow, decide to go into the locker room while cackling as the scene fades to black.




The sound of an old video rolling can be heard, the flickers of an old projector. A video starts to roll in black and white, showing a man sitting in the room, the camera moves to the right side profile of the man, to show it is none other then J2H. The fans in the arena boo loudly.

J2H: Ever since I made it clear I was going to be in Blast From The Past, everyone has asked me why. Why would I do that? Why would I potentially end up in a full time return when I win and win the World Championship? Surely if I did that, it would be in my mind to go for four hundred days, right? Why would I subject myself to travelling with people I don't like in a world I took over years ago, when I could show up just once and earn more then the roster with less of the work.

The video flickers become louder and his voice becomes deeper.

J2H: Nobody knows why but me, but I will enlightening you all. This is something people never saw coming and honestly, I never saw it coming either. It wasn't a spur of the moment thing though, it wasn't about Teddy Warren getting his name stuck in his throat and going for another moment in the sun with the man who could show up, say nothing and still get the highest rated spot on the show. It wasn't even because I like Blast From The Past because let's face it, it's a shortcut tournament that allows egotistical shits from other feds, who only give a fuck about accolades to show up, steal a spot from people who work every week, as a quick trip to the top of the ranks. I like to call them the blind, because they're blinded by the glitter of gold and step in to SCW and think because they've won a championship in a federation with zero talent, they're going to win the biggest prize in wrestling in the most competitive federation in the world?

The video switches to the left side of J2H's face.

J2H: Absolutely blind. Then we have the people who want to make a name for themselves, the people who have never been near the top, the Dawn Warren's of the world, the Ariana Angelos' of the world, the people who know of SCW, know of the competition and would sell their grandmothers to be called a World Champion. Ambitious but petty. We can see through these people, so why would I want to be around them?

Just for a second, the camera moves to the front of J2H's face.

J2H: I don't.

And back to his right profile.

J2H: Then you get the losers who no one wants to team with and probably put people off even signing up for the tournament, the Bea Barnhart's and Hitamashii's of the tournament, the people no one will ever want to team with and honestly will give up in round one if they're teamed with these awful, awful wrestlers who spend more time in the shower then on their promos, so why would I want to be around them?

J2H bows his head.

J2H: I don't. This tournament is the worst, it bring out the greed in people, so why am I wasting my time?

He lifts his head up and the camera moves to his face.

J2H: Because my story does not end the way it's ended, it does not end in bullshit and believe me it was bullshit. There was maybe one person in the world who believed Fenris deserved to beat me, just one person but the majority, didn't. Majority clearly means shit in wrestling when it comes to opinion, but the realest of the real people know that was not meant to happen, I was not meant to lose to Fenris, that was not in my destiny, it was never meant to happen but it did, and it hurt me, it ripped out my heart, I had no emotions, I couldn't and still don't feel trust, I still don't feel much because my celebrations got ripped away from me for what? A good old ego boost for Fenris and I hope it was absolutely worth it, I hope that was worth turning me very bitter behind the mask I wear. I might have lost to Fenris, but now I draw the line under it and Blast From The Past is that line.

The camera switches to the left side of his face again.

J2H: Blast From The Past is where the injustice of High Stakes gets redeemed. I need to end the story my way, I need to end the story clean, no cheap wins for bragging rights, I need to right this wrong and that is what I will do, but don't expect the J2H of old.

The camera flashes to the front of his face where for a split second, it looks like there's blood pouring from his eyes, before flashing off for his face to look normal.

J2H: And this ain't no emo bitch stages, this is determination, this is the screaming urge to put right a travesty and I'm gonna do that by winning Blast From The Past and that, is real talk bitch!

The camera roll runs off the bottom of the screen, leaving the screen grey before fading elsewhere.




Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is scheduled for one fall to a finish! And it is for the Internet Championship!

The lights in the arena die down as the opening riffs of Gothic Celtic Music Shadow Wisps starts to play. The lights stay out for several seconds before dark green and white strobe lights start shining all around, and fog fills the entrance and along the ramp. Moments later, O'Malley steps through the curtain wearing a long black leather trench coat, joined by Darcy. They stand at the entrance for several moments before O'Malley takes the first step on their way to the ring, and Darcy follows closely behind.

Justin: Currently in the ring is the challenger! Accompanied by Darcy! From Dublin, Ireland, weighing one hundred and ninety five pounds – O'MALLEY!!!

The crowd reacts favorably as O'Malley raises both arms to greet them while his wife Darcy applauds her husband's introduction.

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 the reigning and DEFENDING Internet Champion! From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, weighing two hundred and fifteen pounds – ALEXANDER RAVEN!!!

The crowd boos as Alexander strips the belt from around his waist and tosses it to referee Drew Patton, and he suddenly charges right into O'Malley without waiting for the opening bell!

Adams: Bloody hell! The champ isn't waiting!

Simone: He knows full well what O'Malley is capable of since O'Malley did, in fact, defeat him in the past!

With no other choice, Drew calls for the opening bell!

DING DING DING!

Darcy just manages to get out of the way as the champion buries O'Malley into the corner and Alexander just unleashes a brutal barrage of forearm smashes to the Irishman's head and sternum before he wraps both hands around his challenger's throat, choking him out! Drew steps in and orders the break but Alexander is like a man possessed and refuses to ease up, forcing a count from the official!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And Alexander does finally break, just long enough to keep from getting disqualified, before he resumes his impromptu attack! He drives three hard knees into O'Malley's midsection and then begins choking him again with enough ferocity that it takes O'Malley off of his feet and he's on his back in the corner with the champion straddling his chest, continuing the choke with another count elicited from the official!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And again Alexander breaks, standing up and he starts to put the boots to O'Malley, one right after the other!

Adams: I can't believe the way the champ is fighting! I don't think I've ever seen Alexander Raven like this!

Simone: He does NOT want to lose his championship this close to Blaze of Glory XI, and he is serving notice to the next man in line, "Godly" Ken Davison who we already saw in action earlier this evening!

Alexander grabs the top rope with both hands for leverage as he jams a boot against O'Malley's throat, choking the life out of him and bending him backwards halfway over the bottom rope! Drew counts for the third time...!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

And O'Malley hangs far enough that he is dumped outside of the ring and hits the floor! The crowd boos venomously as Alexander holds his arms out, basking in their jeers as Drew reprimands him!

Adams: Looks pretty proud of himself, doesn't he?

Simone: Indeed, but now is where the champion is making a mistake because this is only allowing O'Malley time to recover.

Indeed as on the outside of the ring, Darcy has made her way over to her husband who is pushing himself back to a vertical base. Drew steps over toward the ropes, ordering Darcy to return to her corner. She pays heed toward the official as O'Malley pulls himself up onto the apron and Alexander is right there, reaching through the ropes and dragging the challenger back inside the hard way! Taking him by the head, Alexander goes to run O'Malley face-first in to the corner but O'Malley puts up a boot to block it - and he drives Raven's head into the turnbuckle instead!

Simone: And this is where Alexander pays for giving O'Malley time to recover!

Grabbing the champion by the back of the head, O'Malley get a running start and drives him face-first into the next corner – and the NEXT! Alexander staggers backwards on his feet and O'Malley runs right into him with a leaping clothesline, turning him inside out! O'Malley with the first cover of the match, hooking the inside leg!

ONE!

TWO!

Adams: The champ has a boot on the bottom rope!

Drew points this out to O'Malley who rolls his eyes and grabs Alexander to resume the offense.

Adams: I always thought that was too risky to put your foot on the ropes. What happens if the ref doesn't see it?

Simone: You say bye-bye to your title.

O'Malley attempts an Irish whip but Raven reverses it! Alexander attempts a clothesline but O'Malley ducks under and hooks his extended arm, turning it into an Octopus submission hold!

Adams: oh! Oh! Look at the way O'Malley has the champ's back and neck contorted!

Simone: We may have a submission and a new champion right here!

Drew is right there, asking Alexander if he wants to submit but the champion refuses to relinquish his title! Instead he extends his free arm toward the ropes but he is too far away from the ropes to be able to reach and force the break! Instead, Alexander manages to pry O'Malley's leg loose and he takes the challenger over with a hip toss, but O'Malley manages to land on his feet! O'Malley then doubles him over with a roundhouse kick to the midsection and he then goes for a discus lariat but this time it's the champion who ducks behind and he grabs the challenger and brings him over with a snap German suplex!

Simone: He dumped O'Malley right on the back of his head!

Adams: That happened to me loads of times!

Simone: Well that's a missing piece of the puzzle.

Alexander sits up, shaking his head with a haughty derision. Alexander pulls O'Malley back up and he goes for an Irish whip but this time it's O'Malley that reverses it and the champion comes off of the far side of the ring and he takes O'Malley down with a slingblade! Alexander is right back up as O'Malley struggles to recover. Raven comes off the ropes as O'Malley sits up and is the victim of a Shining Wizard!

Adams: Oh, you could HEAR Alexander's shin hit his head!

Alexander with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

O'Malley kicks out!

Simone: No, not yet! There is still plenty of fight left in the challenger!

A confident Alexander brings O'Malley back to his feet and sends him hard into the far corner. Alexander then builds up a head of steam and charges straight in for a face wash kick - but O'Malley rolls out of the way and the champion hangs himself!

Adams: Owww! Alexander could double for the Vienna Men's Choir after that!

O'Malley then grabs the top rope and begins shaking it, bouncing the champion up and down until he is thrown off and to the mat!

Simone: O'Malley has shown a handful of times that he can play just as dirty if you push him!

Adams: And I think Alexander has pushed him!

Alexander staggers about the ring, holding himself! He turns around and swings wildly but O'Malley ducks! He swings again and another duck but this time O'Malley uses the momentum to bring him over into a Northern Lights suplex!

ONE!

TWO!

Alexander gets a shoulder up!

O'Malley comes off of the ropes for a leaping elbow drop but Raven rolls out of the way, causing O'Malley to crash the brunt of his elbow into the mat! Alexander then stands over him and starts to drag him up to his feet when O'Malley kicks up and grabs him in a front facelock and body scissors...!

Adams: Triangle choke!

Simone: We may have a new champion!

Only this time they are close enough to the ropes! Alexander stretches and strains – and he manages to wrap HIS PINKY around the middle rope!

Adams: Are you KIDDING me!?

Simone: That indeed does still count!

Drew forces the break and O'Malley is in a state of disbelief over something so trivial! O'Malley stands up, holding his arms out to the official but Drew reiterates that rules are rules! O'Malley rolls his eyes in exasperation and he turns around and is suddenly laid out with a thrust kick right to the face by the champion! O'Malley goes down like he was shot! Alexander peels his dead weight up off the mat and turns back to back in a double underhook and lifts him up onto his back! Alexander then gets a running start and...!

Simone: Raven's Spine!

Alexander with the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

The crowd BOOS as Drew presents the championship belt to Alexander and raises his arm in victory!

Justin: Here is your winner – and STILL Internet Champion – ALEXANDER RAVEN!!!




The sounds of Rush's "Limelight" fill the arena and after a moment, Roxi Johnson makes her way to the ring, all smiles as she slaps the fans five before she enters the ring. She politely asks Justin for the microphone as the cheers are loud for the superhero. Her music is cut and the cheers continue for a few seconds before she puts the mic to her lips.

Roxi: So, here we are again, Reno.

Cheap pop for the city.

Roxi: It won't be much longer before I'm stepping into the ring once again, to face Amber Ryan.

A mixed reaction for the champion.

Roxi: I'd like to think that maybe after all this time that things may be just a little bit different, but I'm not sure. After all the chaos of last year, it doesn't seem like much has changed. The only thing different, is that as opposed to last year, Amber Ryan shouldn't be tired. She should be fresh as a daisy, and that's just going to make job a lot harder than it already is, but make no mistake, I will be ready.

Cheers.

Roxi: We have fought many times, and left pieces, no, chunks of ourselves in this very ring, and all over the world for that matter. And MAYBE, after all this time, there's going to be a smidge LESS of that, but once again, if I'm going to go into this match prepared, I'm prepared to lose the blood, I'm prepared to lose feeling in arms and legs and I'm prepared to be hurt!

Cheers.

Roxi: Because none of it, is going to stop me from winning the Bombshell's title for 5th time!

Even more cheers and Roxi stares into the hard camera.

Roxi: So, hello again, old friend. It is good to see you. I know you're listening, and I know you know what lies ahead. We've danced this dance many times before, I'm sure you won't mind if we danced one more time? It's been a long time, so I know we will have plenty to catch up on. We both know what's at stake. This was just a friendly reminder of what time it is. I'll see you, very soon.

With that, Roxi politely hands the microphone back to Justin as departs heading to the back.




We switch backstage where the staging area for wrestlers is located. We see Bill and Bea Barnhart standing with Scott Oliver. The look on Bill's face tells us he is ready for this match.

Scott: I'm backstage with Bill and Bea Barnhart. We are behind the entrance area and I can tell by the look in his eyes that Bill is ready for his match with Mac Bane with the Heavyweight World Championship on the line and that Bea is ready to serve at ringside as Bill's Manager. So, Bill, how are you feeling being in the Going Home Show leading up to Blaze of Glory XI?

Bill: I have mixed feelings Scott.

Scott: Why would you have mixed feelings?

Bill: Here we are two weeks away from the big show at Blaze of Glory XI and I'm going to defeat Mac Bane tonight. That means it will be ME walking into Blaze of Glory XI defending the World Heavyweight Championship instead of Mac. Oh well. Shit happens. Mac just has to deal with it.

Scott: What about you Bea? What are your thoughts on Bill's match tonight?

Bea: I will also feel a bit sad when Mac loses the World Heavyweight Championship to Bill but that's how the sport of wrestling goes. And before you attempt to ask your next question I'm here to tell you that nobody is pulling the bullshit of trying to get me eliminated from ringside where I serve as Bill's Manager. I've had enough of that crap!

Scott: I side with you Bea. I feel you have been accused of things, and removed from ringside, numerous times and only once do I feel your removal was justified.

Bea: Thanks for the nice words Scott. It is time for us to get into position for our entrance so please excuse us.

Scott: Best to you in your match Bill.

Bill and Bea turn and walk to the entrance area to be ready for their entrance for the Main Event match.




The camera cuts to the middle of the ring where Justin Decent stands in the ring with Hot Stuff Mark Ward, Christian Underwood and the host for the draw, Joshua Acquin.

JD: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for the Blast From The Past 2023 draw! Please welcome Co Owners of SCW Hot Stuff Mark Ward and Christian Underwood, and the host for tonights draw, Joshua Acquin!

The crowd cheer as Joshua Acquin steps forward and takes the microphone.

Acquin: Ladies and gentlemen of Reno, Nevada!

The crowd cheer.

Acquin: It's time for the draw. As you know, sixteen men and sixteen women are in those pots in front of Christian and Mark, both will take turns to draw out one male, one female and that will be a team. No one in the back knows who will be drawn with who, it is completely random. This year, we have some great names in the tournament like wrestling legends Chris Page, Laura Phoenix and J2H, we have amazing returns such as Devona and former winner Courtney Pierce, we have a lot of unknown quantity in the shape of Wilma Shakesfear, Eiley, Terryl Fexxfield and Oliver Zhan, and we have current SCW World Heavyweight champion and last years winner, Mac Bane, making this the most competitive line up in the history of SCW, as we honour Candi Devine and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat.

Christian pulls out the next name.

Hot Stuff pulls out their partner.

HS: J2H

Acquin: And her partner is one of the names most thought of when you think of SCW. I've been in a ring with him many times and there's a reason SCW fans see him as one of the best to ever walk in an SCW ring.

Hot Stuff pulls out their partner.

HS: Kain

Acquin: Kain... is.... back! Former world champion and Hall of Famer Kain is returning for Blast From The Past. He's been there, and done it all and his young partner could learn a lot from this man who is considered an SCW legend.

Simone: There's a lot of things to keep an eye on there Jason.




Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our Main Event!! This match is for the SCW World Heavyweight Champiosnhip!!!

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 by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, who is leading their English Bulldog Iris by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. 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 three make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to Bea so she can keep watch on it until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.

Justin: Currently in the ring accompanied by his wife Bea Barnhart!! Standing in at 6'4 and weighing in at 240 pounds!! Hailing from Lafayette, Georgia!!! "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!!!

The opening guitar riffs of "The Enemy" by Godsmack play as the big man makes his way out. By his side is his agent, Kat Jones. The crowd is giving them a mixed reaction from the first sounds of his entrance. There are still more cheers than boos as he approaches the ring.

They only get louder as the pair make their way towards the ring, they walk slowly, jawing with the occasional fan who's decided he's a tough guy. Mac simply laughs and continues down towards the ring.

Finally, they reach the ring steps and make their way into the ring.

Mac approaches the center of the ring and raises both arms into the air. Then extending the middle fingers on both hands he laughs as the boos reached a crescendo.

Justin: And his opponent!! Being accompanied by Kat Jones, standing in at 6'6 and weighing in at 280 pounds! hailing from Port Arthur, Texas!! He is the World Heavyweight Champion!! Mac Bane!!!!

DING DING DING!

The bell has rang as we see two veterans stand in the their corners staring at each other, none of them are about to make the first move towards the other as this builds up the tension in the arena. We see Bill slowly step out of his corner and walks clockwise around the ring as Mac walks along as the two men keep their eyes locked. Bill looks around and sports his patented grin while rubbing his goatee before slapping his massive chest before locking arms with the larger Mac Bane. There Bill manages to start a push and shove contest with Mac as neither man are capable to push the other away from them as either man have managed to set their feet perfectly in the middle of the irng. Ultimately we see Mac push Bill into the massive chest as Bill uses this as his own momentum, coming off the ropes and hits Mac with a running clothesline. But the big man withstands the blow and goes for a clothesline of his own, this causes Bill to stagger into his corner before Mac follows it up with a running clothesline into the corner. Bill manages to sidestep and grabs a handful of tights before rolling Mac Bane up for a pinfall

ONE!

TWO!

Mac manages to kick out as his massive legs powers out, Bill has got him measured for a running Football Tackle into the left leg from behind. This causes Mac to drop to a knee as Bill grabs the leg and locks the champ in a standing ankle lock while Mac Bane is trying to reach for the ropes, but is unable to do so.

Adams: Some good tactics upon the former multi time Roulette champion Belinda.

Simone: Indeed Jason, if you take out the legs from underneath Mac Bane you take a load of offense away from the champ.

Bill cranks up the grip that he has on the ankle, pulling Mac Bane away from nearing the ropes as he drags him back to the middle of the ring. There we see Mac turning his head towards the challenger for the first time in this position, measuring him before surprising Bill with a kick to the back of his head with his other leg after jumping off the canvas on just that one leg.

Crowd: Holy Shit!! Holy Shit!!! Holy Shit!!!

Both men slowly start to stir as they are trying to get back to their feet, Bill slightly manages to beat Mac for it but cannot capitalize on it as either men are on opposite sides of the ring. Mac is hobbling on the painful leg, trying to get some blood circulation to return into the leg as he starts to rub it still standing in the corner while staring toward Bill. Who slaps his massive arms and can smell blood as he charges in on Mac Bane, who hobbles out of the way in the nick of time as Bill hits shoulder first into the steel ring post.

Adams: Ouch!! That is going to be a game changer in this match!!!

Simone: Especially when the match will go into the 20 or 30 minute mark Jason, then that injury is going to wear you down even more.

We see Mac hobble over towards Bill, before stepping gingerly throught he ropes before stepping to the outside by using the steel steps. There he grabs the painful arm that si connected to the shoulder that hit the steel ring post. There Bill begins the whack the arm against the steel ring post several times, injuring the arm and shoulder even more with every blow while we see Bill refuse to give in to the pain that he is receiving. It even causes Bea to react concerned for the wellbeing of her husband, but stays out of this as her man wants to do this on his own.

We see Mac slide in and out of the ring, breaking the ten count that Jasmine St. John had started before turning his attention back upon Bill. He grabs the arm once more, this time he places his bad leg against the steel ring post and pulls hard on the arm, trying to pull the arm out of his socket while Bill is screaming from agonizing pain before Mac let's go before Jasmine could reach the count of five to disqualify him.

Adams: I guess Mac really wants to beat Bill, I mean he could have taken a count out loss and retain his championship.

Simone: But that's not who Mac is, he wants to beat you so that you are back in the line for a title shot.

Mac slides in the ring as he grabs the head from Bill from inside the ring while standing over the top rope as his arms grabs the head from the outside the ring. There he pulls Bill back as his shoulder blades and upper back is leaning against the top rope while puling back hard on Bill. Whose arms are sprawling around the ring in an attempt to somehow free himself before Mac lets go before another count of five.

Bill gets his upper body back in the ring by pulling out between the ring ropes, he holds his back as Mac passes Jasmine and starts to lay in some haymakers before Jasmine starts to use the five count again

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Mac steps away from Bill, looking around as he smirks towards Kat Jones before turning his attention bac to Bill. Who out of nowhere explodes from his seated position and delivers a shoulder tackle with his good shoulder that sends Mac into the corner. There Bill delivers some heavy haymakers of his own, but with the other arm.

Adams: You can tell that Bill is usually pounding away with his other arm that Mac had targeted earlier on.

Simone: I'm not so sure Jason, these heavy blows seem to have a massive impact on the champion.

Bill then grabs the arm of Mac Bane, setting him up for an Irish whip into the other corner. Only to have Mac reverse it as that sends Bill into he corner. Mac hobbles immediately hobbles after Bill who jumps up the middle rope and jumps over the much larger opponent as he lands behind him. There he spins Mac around, kicks him in the bad knee as this causes Mac to lean forward as Bill grabs him by the head and sets him up for a Bulldog Headlock from out of the corner and drops Mac before rolling him over for the three count

ONE!

TWO!

THRE....

Adams: I can't believe that!!!

Simone: Was that a two count??!!!

Bill looks up at Jasmine, he cannot believe his eyes either as Jasmine St. John shows him that it is merely a count of two. Bill shakes his head, realizing that he cannot waste too much time on questioning the decision from the official. He grabs Mac by the head, pulls him up to his feet before setting him up for a Body Slam. The move causes Mac to hit the bottom rope with his painful leg as Bill was too close to the ropes, causing him to grab his painful leg in pain as his face shows a grimace. Bill immediately yanks the bad leg out of the grasp of Mac Bane, placing the ankle on the bottom rope while standing on it with one of his feet as that enables Mac to pull his foot away. Bill jumps up and lands crashing down on the ankle on a seated position, this causes Mac Bane to sit up with a loud scream coming out of his mouth as a man well over 200 pounds comes crashing down on his ankle. Bill punches him in the face as that drops the champion to the canvas before repeating the same move once more, there he follows it up with a kick to the face of Mac Bane as the champ once again has the back of his head crash on the canvas. Bill immediately grabs the leg and drags Mac to the middle of the ring before setting hi up for a figure four leglock submission move in the middle of the ring.

Simone: Will this be the moment that Bill will dethrone Mac Bane for the world title with THE most infamous submission hold ever???

But just when Bill grabs the leg and spins around before setting himself up to fall down it is Mac Bane that kicks him in the behind as that sends Bill to the outside. Mac slowly rolls to the ropes as he rolls to the outside, landing on his good leg as he tries to take the pressure of his bad leg as he hobbles over to Bill Barnhart. Who was waiting for him and grabs him by the arm before yanking him chest first into the steel barricades. Bill quickly gets up and rolls into the ring and rests on his back while listening to Jasmine to start the ten count

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Mac is shaking his head against the barricades, but there is still no movement to be seen for him to get back into he ring

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

Bill rolls out of the ring, breaking the ten count of Jasmine as she has to start all over again. Bill doesn't want a count out victory as he knows that won't have him win the world title against the four time champion. He rolls Mac back into the ring as he gets on the ring apron, holds on to his shoulder as that is still bothering him from earlier in the match. He steps through the ropes and gets on top of Mac, where he delivers haymaker after haymaker to the face of the champion as Jasmine starts to warn him before using the five count on him.

Simone: So much history and animosity between these two men

Adams: Indeed Belinda and they aren't holding back on each other!! Either man want to up on the other as the man that claims to have walked into the next Super Card as the World champion!!!

Bill gets up before the count of five, breaking the beatdown on the champion as he is now completely pumped up. Screaming to the fans as he turns his attention back to Mac Bane and grabs him by the head. He sets him up for a Piledriver as he manages t lift the bigger man up several inches off the canvas as the crowd goes nuts

Simone: Can Bill lift him up??!!!

Adams: Mac is fighting it!!!!

And indeed Mac is fighting it, trying to put extra leverage on his weight while shaking his legs as that makes it harder for Bill to execute the move. Finally Mac manages to land both feet back on the canvas before executing a Back Body Drop on Bill as the former Roulette champion lands in a seated position. Gasping for air as he probably has landed on his funny bone, Mac stumbles towards the ropes in front of Bill before hitting him with a knee with his bad leg. Causing him to reach for the leg a few moments before finally going for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE....

Adams: NO!!!

Simone: Now it is Mac Bane that cannot believe it that Bill managed to kick out!!!

Mac shakes his head before slowly rising up to his feet. He grabs Bill and whips him in the ropes before catching him with his signature Spinebuster

Simone: The Ride!!!!!

Mac covers Bill by hooking one leg while holding onto his painful leg with he other as Jasmine starts to use the three count on Bill

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Justin: The winner of the match by pinfall and STILL SCW World Heavyweight Champion!! Mac Bane!!!

Both men are exhausted in the middle of the ring as Jasmine checks in on either men in order if they need medical treatment from the back before we see trainers and medics run out in assisting both men. But in the end both Mac Bane and Bill manage to get to their feet and exit the ring on their own.

Simone: What a match!!!!

Adams: I think I couldn't have said it any better Belinda!!!

Simone: What a way to end the night! We've seen the returns of Sam Marlowe, Casey Williams, Kain, Hitamashii and even Artie Miller and incredible matches, with somehow, three whole rings.

Adams: We have the fastest break down and put together crew in the world!

Simone: So it seems.

Adams: Amazing thing these writers pull off.

Simone: Pardon?

Adams: Annnnnnnyway, we've also seen a whole lot of interesting Blast From The Past teams!

Simone: Very much so Jason, but it's time for us to say good night, but join us again in two weeks time, because it's time for the big show itself, Blaze of Glory XI! But until then, I am Belinda Simone, the guy next to me is Jason Adams saying be safe and we'll see you in Las Vegas! Good night everybody!

The camera fades to Mac at the top of the ramp, joined by his fellow Saviors as the celebrate a successful title defense




THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for us!
