The crowd is alive with energy inside of the BTArena in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites. The energy is at an obvious fever pitch with Justin Decent, standing inside of the ring.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the famed BTArena in Cluj-Napoca, Romania! And welcome to Sin City Wrestling Climax Control!
The fans in attendance cheer!
Justin: Now please welcome to the stage -- Sin City Wrestling's Hostess With the Mostess -- Ms. Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers as Amanda walks out, dressed in a Victorian widow costume; top hat with veil, tattered, long-sleeve dress, matching gloves and lace fan. The music starts and Amanda begins her performance.
Amanda: It's just you and me baby
I'll be your Carol Anne
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Place your fingers on the board
I'll be your Carol Anne
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Maybe yes and maybe no
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
We're trapped in two different worlds
Now I know you're no downtown boy, well I'm no uptown girl neither
We're trapped between two realms you see
You wanna talk to me
Well then drop the phone
And pick up the board
I'll be your pentagram
Let's dabble in the black arts
This is not a game
Let me spell my name
Let's keep this in the dark
Call me on the Ouija Board
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Call me on the Ouija Board
Q-R-S-T-U and I
Call me on the Ouija Board
W-X-Y-and-Z
Call me on the Ouija Board
On the Ouija Board
And tell me what you'll do to me
I will spell a fantasy
And cast a spell of ecstasy.
A little touch of magic
In this world obsessed with science
I'll be your pentagram
Let's dabble in the black arts
This is not a game
Let me spell my name
Let's keep this in the dark
Call me on the Ouija Board
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Call me on the Ouija Board
Q-R-S-T-U and I
Call me on the Ouija Board
W-X-Y-and-Z
Call me on the Ouija Board
On the Ouija Board
We don't need no telephone
Maybe yes and maybe no
Let's see where this goes
Maybe yes and maybe no
We don't need no telephone
Maybe yes and maybe no
Let's see where this goes
Call me on the Ouija Board
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Call me on the Ouija Board
Q-R-S-T-U and I
Call me on the Ouija Board
W-X-Y-and-Z
Call me on the Ouija Board
On the Ouija Board
Goodbye
G-g-g-g-goodbye
Goodbye
The crowd onhand gives Amanda an enthusiastic reception, cheering and applauding as she waves to all corners until the spotlight slowly winks out...
The camera angle then changes to ringside where Belinda Simone and Jason Adams join us from the broadcasters table.
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to the 'Going Home' edition of Climax Control, right here in Cluj-Napoca, Romania! I am Belinda Simone...
Adams: Say has anyone seen the Troll? I heard he hasn't been seen since our stay in that spooky forest! I mean -- Jason Adams here! The Cutey patooty With the Number One Booty!
Simone: ..... I refuse to even dignify that with a response!
Adams: Wasn't THAT a response?
Simone: ANYWAY... tonight we finalize what is to come in just TWO WEEKS in London, England for Into the Void XII! This evening the Semi-Finals of the 2023 Blast From the Past will be held and the winners advance to London and the championship finals!
Adams: And we find out just who will be challenging not only for the Bombshell Internet title but the World Championship too!
Simone: Indeed as in our opening contest we have a Triple Threat match where Laura Phoenix, Georgie Robertson and Seleana Zdunich all battle it out to determine who challenges "Dreamkiller" Kayla Richards in London!
Adams: And we know three out of four men who will be fighting it out for the vacant Roulette title and two of those men are in a Roulette Rules match when Malachi goes up against Peter Vaughn! ... ANNNND -- Bulldog Bill Barnhart is the guest referee!
Simone: In the first 2023 Blast From the Past Semi-Final match of the night, Bobbie Dahl and the Internet Champion Jack Washington face Dawn Warren and Calvin Harris!
Adams: In the match to decide Roxi Johnson's challenger at In to the Void XII, Zoey Lukas goes up against Ariana Angelos!
Simone: In the last Semi-Final match, J2H and Devona face the 2018 Champion Courtney Pierce and "Godly" Ken Davison!
Adams: And in the Main Event, it's a Hardcore Hell match inside of a steel cage! Crystal Caldwell is still playing dumb as to why Kim Pain hates her so much but Kim is going to beat it into her why when the two meet in the cage with weapons and no rules!
Simone: All this and more on SCW Climax Control!
(FREE SEG)
Simone: It's time for our opening contest! Last week we saw Kayla Richards dethrone Melisa to become a three-time Bombshell Internet Champion but with this being the Go Home Show before Into the Void XI her first defence is drawing near! And coming up next we will determine who her first challenger will be ass Georgie Robertson takes on Seleana Zdunich and Laura Phoenix in a Triple Threat Match!
Adams: All three women have suffered recent setbacks in the ring, Georgie lost a match to the now current Bombshell Roulette Champion Jessie Salco at the beginning of the tour and Seleana was not only knocked out of the opening round of this year's Blast from the Past Tournament but suffered a loss to Krystal Wolfe! Laura's had the most success out of the three by virtue of making it to the Quarter Finals of the Blast from the Past Tournament but that was before she officially signed with the company!
Simone: This will be a great match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is your opening contest of the evening scheduled for one fall and it's a Triple Threat Match to determine who will challenge Kayla Richards for the Bombshell Internet Championship at Into the Void XI!
Static fills the speakers as the A-Flat cord streams through and Rev Theory's "Hell Yeah" begins to blare as the hypnotic laugh of Rich Luzzi echoes throughout the arena and Laura Phoenix's video entrance illuminates the Smarkstron. When the chorus plays the lights raise and Phoenix runs out on stage to the delight of the fans. She runs to the opposite side of the stage before stopping at the centre and raising her fist high in the air and a large amount of pyro goes off around her. She takes off down the ramp and slides into the ring and running to the closest corner and once again raises her fist high in the air. She repeats this at the other three corners as her music dies out and she stands in the middle of the ring awaiting her opponent.
Justin: Introducing first, from New York City, New York, LAURA PHOENIX!
Simone: Laura has stepped up to the plate whilst her daughter Bella deals with her pregnancy, she has been impressive so far but this is her official SCW debut!
Adams: And quite the task, even for a veteran like Laura!
Justin: And her opponents!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.
5

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 ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on.
Simone: Seleana's been a consistent presence in the title scenes but she has yet to capitalize on any opportunities she's gotten since for World Bombshell and Bombshell Roulette Reigns ended!
Adams: Maybe a win here would set her on the right path?
The throbbing beat of Adam Lambert's For your entertainment fills the venue. A body can be seen in shadow as the fans turn towards the entrance. A strobing light flashes behind the body that turns slowly as a spotlight slowly lights up the ramp area and kills the strobe to reveal a brunette in a black leather jacket over black tights and staring down into the ring, a slow smirk beginning to cross her lips. Heading to the ring, she stops at the ringstairs and then moves slowly up to the apron and into the ring where she moves towards a corner and leans back against the turnbuckles with one foot on the bottom rope.
Justin: From South London, she is Georgie Robertson.
The smirk returns as she looks at the camera and snaps off a contemptuous salute before pulling off the jacket to reveal a dark halter with silver buckles on it. She turns and once more leans into the corner to await the bell.
Simone: Georgie has show herself to be a tenacious competitor even against far more experienced opponents but she's yet to translate that into any meaningful wins!
Adams: Every time she's gotten close to a title win something's always held her back, maybe this will be her time in the sun!
Dawn goes over the rules with the three women and once they nod to confirm that they understand she calls for the hell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And tonight's opener is underway! You can bet that Kayla is watching this closely from the backstage area!
Adams: She'd better! Between Laura and Seleana's veteran instincts and Georgie's tenacity any of those three women could be a viable contender for her title!
As soon as the bell rings Georgie makes a beeline for Laura and starts laying into the veteran with some lefts and rights! Dawn tries to step in to get the British rookie to back off but she isn't listening, clearly intent on booking her way to a title match in her home city of London! Seleana watches this going on from her corner, apparently deciding to bide her time rather than jump into the action, after a few moments Georgie clotheslines Laura over the top rope and too the floor and poses for the crowd........and is quickly rolled up by Seleana who runs up behind the rookie for a school girl.
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie kicks out!
Simone: Classic rookie mistake by Georgie there, she got caught up in the moment after sending Laura to the outside and Seleana took advantage of it!
Adams: At some point she'll have to learn from these mistakes!
Georgie gets to her feet following the failed pin attempt and Seleana tries to keep the momentum going with a running Hurricanrana but Georgie counters it into a Powerbomb before flipping over into a Sunset flip style pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Laura breaks up the pin with a Shining Wizard to Georgie! Laura then goes for a pin on Georgie as Seleana rolls away!
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie gets the shoulder up!
Simone: The action has been fast and furious with Laura, Georgie and Seleana scoring a pinfall each within minutes of each other!
Adams: One will have to break way from the pack eventually and whoever that is will have a huge advantage over her competitors!
Laura gets to her feet first and scouts the area, seeing that Georgie landed near a corner and that Seleana is on the ring apron Laura heads to the top rope and poses for the crowd before going for a Moonsault! Unfortunately for the veteran, Georgie rolls out of the way causing Laura to crash and burn! Laura gets to her feet clutching her midsection in pain and Georgie seizes the moment by locking in an Octopus Hold!
Simone: Georgie with the Octopus Hold on Laura, she has been known to favour that hold ever since her debut match!
Adams: She had better watch out for Seleana though because the Swede looks ready to break up her submission hold!
Dawn checks on Laura to see if she wants to submit to Georgie's submission hold but Laura refuses! However it is a trick hold to get out of and the standing variant makes it harder for Laura to reach out and break the hold with her free hand! Thankfully for Laura (and unfortunately for Georgie) Seleana is back in the action and breaks Georgie's submission hold with a kick to her chest! Laura plops down to the matt and Seleana takes the opportunity to Snap Suplex Georgie onto Laura! Seleana goes for a pin on both opponents!
ONE!
TWO!
Laura and Georgie kick out at the same time! Seleana shakes her head in response before picking Georgie up and throwing the Britt to the outside before following her out.
Simone: It's not often we see double pins like the one Seleana just tried on Laura and Georgie!
Adams: And the fact that they kicked out is probably why we won't see it outside of Krystal's workouts!
Once Seleana and Georgie are on the outside they start brawling with each other trading rights and lefts on the outside as the Romanian fans lap it up! But it turns out that they forgot about the third wheel in the match and Laura takes advantage of this by hitting Seleana and Georgie with a Suicide Dive wiping out her competition! Laura picks up Seleana and rolls her back into the ring figuring that Georgie isn't a threat right now.
Simone: Laura's veteran instincts paid off as she wiped out Georgie and Seleana with that dive!
Adams: If I didn't know Bella was her daughter before this match I'd know now because they wrestle so much alike!
Once Laura is back in the ring she gives Seleana a few seconds to get back to her feet and when she does Laura drops the other Blonde Bombshell with a DDT! Laura goes for the pin not realizing that Georgie is already on her way back to the ring.
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie breaks up the pin BARELY in the nick of time! Georgie rolls Laura out of the way and measures up Seleana who is getting up to her feet and connects with a Slingblade! Seleana is down and Georgie goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Seleana kicks out! Georgie spots Laura retreating to a corner and grins before calling for her finisher, but not before throwing Seleana onto the apron and hitting her with an Apron DDT knocking her down!
Simone: Georgie thinks she has her date with destiny in her hand and after that Apron DDT to Seleana? I'd believe it!
Adams: She's got Laura in her sights and wants to end it with the One and Done!
Georgie returns to the ring and blindly charges in for the first part of her finisher........and gets blasted with a Superkick!
Simone: Laura calls that the Kick to Damnation!
Adams: Georgie is out and Seleana's in no position to break up the pin! Stick a fork in her, she's done!
Laura goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and the #1 Contender for the Bombshell Internet Championship at Into the Void XI, LAURA PHOENIX!
Simone: Laura has done it! She's earned her shot at Kayla!
Laura celebrates her win whilst Dawn checks on Georgie and Seleana.
BOMBSHELL INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
"Dreamkiller" Kayla Richards (c) v Laura Phoenix
We are directed to the backstage area where Bill Barnhart is being interviewed by Scott Oliver. We notice that Bill is in the normal attire Referee's wear and we are aware that Bill has been assigned as Guest Referee for the Malachi versus Peter Vaughn Roulette Rules match tonight.
Scott: You are looking good in the Referee attire Bill. How are you feeling going into the Malachi versus Peter Vaughn Roulette Rules match as the assigned Guest Referee?
Bill: Considering how my Dog Collar Match against Alexander Raven ended last week I am feeling way better than I did at the end of that match. I applaud Raven for being a great wrestler and getting the win over me in a match, a Dog Collar Match, that is one of my specialties.
Scott: I still would like to know how you feel being assigned as the Guest Referee for the Malachi versus Peter Vaugh Match. Since those two, and you, will be in the Roulette Championship match at Into The Void XII.
Bill: This is not the first time I have been assigned as Guest Referee for a wrestling match. Whenever I get these assignments I call the match fairly for both wrestlers. Whether a wrestler is in a Stable and they have been attacking me and my friends I will not make bad calls against them to get even. Honestly in this type of match, under Roulette Rules, depending upon where the Roulette Wheel lands I may have a lot of interaction to keep the match in line with the rules and stipulations the wheel landed on or if it is an all-out no-rules type of Roulette Wheel match then I only need to stand back and wait until the opportunity arises for me to count a pinfall or check if a wrestler has gone unconscious for me to end the match.
Scott: Does it matter to you who wins this match leading into the Four Way match for the Roulette Championship at Into The Void XII?
Bill: I have no bias on who wins this match tonight. Whether it is Malachi or Peter Vaughn the fact remains that both of them will be in the Roulette Championship match at Into The Void XII. Of course I will also be one of the four wrestlers in the Roulette Championship match at Into the Void XII. I have heard there will be another wrestler assigned to the match to make it a Four Way match but personally I haven't yet heard who that wrestler is.
Scott: I wish you the best in this match serving as Guess Referee and I hope neither of the wrestlers goes off on you as Referee.
Bill: Whatever happens. . .happens...Scott. I assure you, and everyone watching, that as a two-time Roulette Champion I'm preparing to become a three-time Roulette Champion at Into The Void XII. Sorry to run off, Scott, but I need to get to the ring to be ready for my Referee duties. Thanks for your time.
Bill turns and walks down the hallway to make his way to ringside to be ready to serve as Guess Referee for the Malachi versus Peter Vaughn Roulette Rules match.
The scene opens backstage where we see Malachi and Peter Vaughn waiting besides the Roulette Wheel with the ref for tonight's match "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart with them.
Simone: Those three men will join a fourth one to determine the new Roulette Champion at Into the Void after Goth's injury forced him to vacate the title.
Adams: And tonight we're getting a preview with this Roulette Rules Special Guest Referee Match!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?
The three men nod and Rocky spins the wheel, it goes around for a few moments before it eventually stops on............
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Staple Gun Mania! The only weapons that can be used are Staple Guns!
Simone: That's gonna get painful in a hurry!
Adams: I bet Bill's relieved to be the ref now!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Good luck gentlemen!
The three men walk off in separate directions as the scene fades.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control! Last week Goth was forced to vacate the Roulette Title and his team was forced to pull out of the Blast from the Past Tournament due to injury and at Into the Void XI a new champion will be decided in a Fatal Four Way Match! But before the fourth competitor can be announced we're having a preview of that match as Malachi takes on Peter Vaughn of The Saviours with Bill Barnhart as the referee!
Adams: And to get the obvious question out of the way, yes they are the other three competitors in that match! Malachi and Bill are veterans of the Roulette Division but this is Peter's first title opportunity in SCW and you know The Saviours will be eager to get that titkle back into their ranks!
Simone: And it's Staple Gun Mania! A match where the Staple Gun is the only weapon that can legally be used! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following is a Special Guest Referee Roulette Rules Match scheduled for one fall! And thanks to a spin of the wheel we know that it'll be a Staple Gun Mania Match! The only weapon permitted to be used is a Staple Gun!
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 and a ref's shirt on over his singlet. He is followed his English Bulldog Iris leading her 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.
Justin: Introducing the Guest Referee, BILL BARNHART!
The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.
Simone: I'm not sure if Bill is taking his position as Guest Referee seriously!
Adams: If he isn't then he soon will! And to ensure his neutrality Bea has been barred from ringside for this match!
The lights in the arena go out, causing the usual hysteria from the crowd. After a few seconds, Peter Vaughn's face appears on the big tron, darkly smirking down at the fans.
"This Time... It's Different."
Justin: Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 185ibs he represents The Saviours! "The Mechanic" Peter Vaughn!
After Vaughn finishes speaking, he begins to laugh. His laughter carries on as the Tron video overtakes his image, beginning with "This Time It's Different" by Evans Blue. Vaughn comes out from the back, smiling at the reaction he's getting. He stops on the ramp, surveying the hatred from the crowd. From Vaughn's reaction, you'd think they were chanting his name, as he walks down the aisle with a cocky smile. He heads straight through the ropes and into his corner, stretching and preparing for a fight.
Simone: Peter has ben impressive since arriving in SCW but this is his first shot at a title!
Adams: We'll see how he fares in the always unpredictable Roulette Division!
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.
Justin: And his opponent! From Waterford, Ireland, MALACHI!
Simone: We last saw Malachi get unfairly DQed by Jasmine when he challenged Michael Harris for the World Title and now he gets a chance at winning the vacated Roulette Title.
Adams: A win here would be a serious momentum boost for either of these men but after that setback? You know Malachi wants to get back on his feet, especially with a kid on the way!
Bill goes over the rules with both parties and after swearing to both men that he'll call it down the middle Bill calls for the bell prompting Peter and Malachi to start brawling in the middle of the ring.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Peter and Malachi are off to a fast start, question is will Bill remain neutral as the match continues?
Adams: True, he'll be facing both at Into the Void after all!
Bill watches on as the two men trade blows and eventually Peter takes Malachi to the outside with a running clothesline! Peter follows him out and it doesn't take long for The Saviours member to locate a staple gun, namely because they are littered about the ringside area much like a ladder would be during a Ladder Match, and he grabs it clearly intending to use it as a weapon! Malachi is back on his feet by this point and spins Peter around.........and promptly gets a staple to his forehead! Peter follows that up by dropping Malachi with a DDT and rolls him into the ring!
Simone: It didn't take long for the staples to come into play as Malachi just found out the hard way!
Adams: Peter just dropped him with a DDT as well but he's not following him in!
Peter has instead opted to grab two more staple guns and slide them into the ring before he finally returns to the ring! Unfortunately for him Malachi has grabbed one of the Staple Guns and fires it into........a rather unfortunate area.
Adams: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Simone: How do you think Peter feels? He just got a staple to the balls!
Peter drops to the matt clutching his balls in pain and Malachi shrugs when he sees the shocked looed Bill is giving him before going for the first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Peter kicks out! Malachi argues with Bill about this but the Special Guest Referee affirms that his pin-fall was fair, neither man realizing that Peter has grabbed one of the other Staple Guns! Indeed when Malachi goes to pick up Peter, he gets a taste of his own, extremely painful medicine.
Simone: Err, Bella? I have bad news and worse news darling, the bad news is that Malachi won't be able to sire anymore kids after tonight, the worse news is he'll be singing Soprano from now on!
Adams: I can't believe I'm saying this BUT CAN WE STOP WITH THE STAPLE GUN SHOTS TO THE BALLS ALREADY?!
Malachi falls over backwards after hopping around in pain for a few seconds with a cockeyed expression on his face, Peter gets to his feet and Bill tries to take the Staple Gun off him, unfortunately for Bill?
Adams: WHAT DID I JUST SAY ABOUT STAPLE GUN SHOTS TO THE BALLS?!
Simone: Hey at least this time Peter's staple gun accidentally fired into Bill's balls and what has my commentary career become when I'm saying THAT with a straight face?!
Bill drops to the mat like he just got hit with a shotgun blast but still manages to count the pin when Peter goes for it!
ONE!
TWO!
And Malachi kicks out! Peter shakes his head before moving the Staple Gun out of the way and, even though all three men are in extreme pain and for obvious reasons Peter gives Malachi a few moments to get back to his feet before going for a Slingblade only for Malachi to duck it and counter with a Back Suplex! Malachi then follows that up with a standing Moonsault before he goes for another pin on Peter.
ONE!
TWO!
And Peter kicked out!
Simone: Well, after those three managed to turn SCW into an episode of Jackass mixed with The Three Stooges it's refreshing to see Peter and Malachi use some actual wrestling moves!
Adams: As long as there are no more Low Blows from either man, I will not complain!
Malachi shakes his head before he picks up Peter to try for another move but Peter catches Malachi unawares with a Small Package roll-up!
ONE!
TWO!
And Malachi kicks out! Both men roll to their feet and grab a staple gun that happens to be in arms reach! Apparently they both had the same idea as they charge at each other and fire staples into each other's foreheads and the collision knocks them both down! Bill manages to overcome his own pain and starts the ten count.
Simone: I've seen a lot of mid ring collisions over the years, never thought I'd see one involving Staple Guns!
Adams: Belinda this match has been full of things that I'd rather forget!
Bill's count reaches seven before Malachi gets to his feet first and seeing that Peter is still reeling from, well, everything involving this match, he calls for his finisher!
Simone: Malachi just called for his finisher, the Hair Trigger!
Adams: If he hit this then Peter's unpinned streak is over!
Malachi picks up Peter and tries to set him up for the Package Piledriver but Peter backdrops out of it! He then pulls Malachi back to his feet before nailing him with a Ripcord DDT!
Simone: Peter calls that The Key Holder and he nailed it!
Adams: Malachi is out and, like Bill and Peter, needs an icepack for his never regions! Stick a fork in him, he's done!
Peter goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here's your winner, "The Mechanic" Peter Vaughn!
Simone: Peter picks up a huge win over Malachi, warts and all.
Adams: That will give him a serious momentum boost for the title match at Into the Void! But I bet the fourth man in the match was watching this with a big grin on his face!
Bill raises Peter's arm in victory and goes to leave......only for Peter to hit him with The Key Holder as well! Peter goes for the pin on Bill and counts it with Bill's limp hand before standing up and making a belt motion around his waist.
Simone: If that's not a message to the rest of the Roulette Division, I don't know what is!
Adams: Peter's coming for the gold!
Peter leaves the ring and pays no further attention to either of his Into the Void opponents.
Adams: What a match that'll be!
We cut to the ring where the Anti-Nightcore Mix of "A Demon's Fate" is fading out and we see Krystal Wolfe leaning against the turnbuckle, opposite her is two local girls who happen to be twins.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and we're not sure why this is happening again after what Krystal did to her opponents in Scotland but the bosses have scheduled another public workout for Krystal Wolfe ahead of her match against Tempest at Into the Void!
Adams: Do I really need to watch this? Let's get this over with!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Krystal Wolfe public workout, one fall to a finish! If Krystal's opponents can beat her in five minutes, they gain five grand each! Introducing first, from Adelaide, Australia, Krystal Wolfe!
Krystal doesn't even acknowledge her introduction, never taking her eyes off her opponents.
Justin: And her opponents, from right here in Cluj-Napocca, Romania, Daciana and Andrei Radu!
The twins raise their hands in acknowledgement, but that's about it as Krystal launches out of the corner and spears them to the ground as Jasmine calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Well, this match is going much the same way as the first workout did!
Adams: I'm not even sure which of Krystal's opponents are which but I hope their family has been notified!
Daciana rolls out of the ring whilst Krystal lays into her twin sister not even letting the young woman get a chance to breathe, eventually Krystal pulls Andrei up to her feet and nearly takes her head off with the Hope Destroyer!
Simone: There it is! The Hope Destroyer! At least this will be shorter than the first workout!
Krystal goes for a lax cover on Andrei whilst holding onto her hair.
ONE!
TWO!
AND KRYSTAL PULLS ANDREI UP! She shakes her head with a sadistic grin on her face as she starts laying in punches to the barely conscious Romanian girl eventually busting her open.
Simone: Or not!
Adams: Jasmine, please just call the match!
Krystal only stops when she sees Daciana crawling back into the ring but subsequently boots her off the apron with a running kick! She then turns her attention to Andrei again and sets her up for the Ides of March but this time? She uses the move TO SEND ANDREI FLYING OUT OF THE RING!
Simone: Good lord! I think that poor girl is broken in half!
Adams: Jasmine's doing the right thing, this one is over!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the public workout via knockout is Krystal Wolfe!
Daciana checks on her sister who (to say the least) had a very rough landing against the barricade whilst Krystal asks for a mic.
Krystal: Well, that's the trash taken out!
Krystal scoffs as she paces around the ring.
Krystal: I spent all week camping in some shit forest that's supposed to be haunted and this is what I get for my public workout? I thought I'd go for quality over quantity by asking for two opponents instead of four but it's clear that not even that was enough!
Krystal scoffs before she locks eyes with Daciana.
Simone: Oh no, we saw that look when Krystal broke Jenny's arm last week.
Adams: Daciana, I don't know if you can speak English, but RUN!
Krystal: Doesn't mean I can't send another message!
Daciana clearly watched last week's Climax Control as she tries to get away from the ringside area before Krystal can get her hands on her, unfortunately for her Krystal cuts her off with a clothesline and throws her back into the ring.
Krystal: This goes to every Bombshell on the roster, old or new, you aren't safe from me, and there's nothing I won't do to get ahead!
Krystal drops the mic before hitting Daciana with The Crippler quickly transitioning from the Hammerlock Backstabber into the Kimura Lock! Daciana is tapping like crazy but Krystal isn't paying any attention to that.
Simone: Damn it! Someone get out here before she breaks another girl's arm!
Adams: There's only so many GoFundMe pages that I can donate too!
Krystal looks ready to break another girl's arm BUT LET'S GO WHEN THE CROWD GOES CRAZY AS KEIRA FISHER JOHNSON RUNS DOWN TO THE RING!
Simone: OH MY GOD IT'S KEIRA! WE HAVEN'T SEEN HER SINCE SHE RETIRED AT HIGH STAKES XI!
Adams: First Gabriel and now Keira, it seems everyone's coming out of retirement to confront Krystal!
Keira slides into the ring and gets right in Krystal's face glaring directly at the Aussie Bombshell, Krystal smirks before she takes a swing at Keira but the Hall of Famer blocks it before sending Krystal reeling with punches! Keira goes for the Seven Sins kick but Krystal bails from the ring before she can hit it hitting the high road in the process.
Simone: Thank god for Keira, I didn't want to see two young women get their arms broken this cycle!
Adams: Or ever really!
Krystal yells "this isn't over" at Keira as she retreats up the ramp and Keira checks on Daciana whilst medics tend to Andrei.
The scene opens backstage where we see the new Bombshell Roulette Champion Jessie Salco watching the confrontation between Keira and Krystal on a monitor, Jessie has the title over her shoulder and she shakes her head with a chuckle.
Jessie: First Gabriel and now Keira, all it took was one Aussie going rogue to get every other legend to come out of the woodwork.
Jessie comments to herself not realizing that someone is behind her.
Keira: You do realize that talking to yourself is a bad habit, right? Trust me, I should know...best buddy.
Jessie turns around and sees Keira behind her.
Jessie: You realize how badly Harper and Cassie were biting their tongues on this right? Any harder and their tongues would have to be surgically reattached!
Jessie comments as she shakes her head.
Jessie: So, what brought you here? Krystal's been off the deep end for weeks now!
Keira: I couldn't stand back anymore and watch her make a total ass out of herself. I tried, Jessie. I tried to let you guys handle it, but she's getting worse.
Keira takes a deep sigh on this.
Keira: Just when retirement was good. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...
Jessie: And I bet that incident with Scottish Jenny had nothing to do with it, poor kid got her arm broken just for sharing Cassie's age and then you show up to prevent it happening to a Romanian girl?
Jessie asks as she cocks her head to the side with her arms crossed.
Keira: One of. By the way, speaking of a Jenny, I know a certain Tuck found out. So take a guess. Jessie, I'm not going to stand by anymore and see Krystal continue down this path. Does she want to continue this? She wants to continue digging her own grave?
Keira looks at Jessie with the most serious tone she's ever had
Keira: Then I'll make sure she's buried in the hole she made...
Jessie: If you saw last week's show then you know this has been boiling within Krystal since she lost the Roulette Title, maybe even earlier than that.
Jessie shakes her head as she lets out a deep breath.
Jessie: She's always been a talented kid, but you and I both know that her fucked up childhood left a massive impact on her mental health, that's not exactly a healthy combination.
Keira: I know. Trust me, I know too well. But there is no excuse for what she's doing now. I thought she would calm down. I thought she would listen. She's no longer listening.
Keira makes a fist a shows it to Jessie, saying
Keira: This. This is now the only thing she'll listen to. You and I know where this is going. If she won't listen to words. She'll listen to the fists. She'll listen to the call of the fight.
Keira lowers her fist down
Keira: I'm tired of seeing others get hurt by her. Now...it's her turn.
Jessie: Thing is, the longer the bosses allow Krystal to host these "workouts" on Climax Control, the more vicious she's going to get! They had to rush the twin who Krystal yeeted out of the ring to hospital just now, I don't speak Romanian but her sister was clearly worried sick about Andrei.
Jessie shakes her head with a frown.
Jessie: If it's not you, it'll be Tempest at Into the Void, if not Tempest it'll be whoever gets put up against her next, speaking of Jenny M though? I heard a rumor.
Jessie says as she leans against the wall.
Jessie: That a certain other Hall of Famer donated to her GoFundMe, a large amount at that, I don't think it was Roxi because I think she would've told you but think of that what you will.
Keira: I don't know. I know Jenny Tuck did something. That's it. Either way, that kid will be taken care of.
Keira sighs a bit
Keira: Krystal has to be stopped, you're right. Before she thinks about going after Roxi herself. Roxi can take care of herself and–
All of a sudden, the two hear a replay of Krystal's segment, especially the line of making Roxi and Nate watch Keira's suffering. Keira clenches her fist and grits her teeth, Jessie could see it and starts to get worried
Jessie: Hoooooly Shit, didn't think she'd go that far! Wouldn't surprise me if she came home to Makayla serving her with divorce papers.
Jessie comments before turning to Keira.
Jessie: Watch yourself Keira, you're not a contracted talent yet.
Jessie pauses before cocking her head again.
Jessie: Right?
Keira doesn't answer, but she does grab the Flat screen and rips it from the wall. She throws it and the thing smashes onto the floor. She turns to Jessie, saying
Keira: Makayla better hurry with those papers if that's the case...if not.
Keira looks at the broken TV, saying
Keira: ...She'll become a widow.
Keira walks off as the camera focuses back on Jessie, knowing that look on Keira before it clicks with her.
Jessie: You know the moment you retaliate against Krystal, she's going to come back with ten times as much ferocity right?
Keira was long gone from earshot, but it gives Jessie a smirk over this
Jessie: But then again, even if she does. I know you too well, Keira. Glad to have you back, buddy.
The scene fades on that
In the locker room area Calvin was seen bent over spraying his long locks down with water. It was only a matter of minutes before he along with Dawn Warren would be hitting the ring for their Semi-Finals match of the Blast From The Past tournament. All of the sudden, he heard something from behind him. As he turned around GUY came walking out of the bathroom. Only thing on this man's body was a pair of TWO GUYS 1 ASS pair of boxers. Almost right away Calvin shielded his face.
Calvin Harris: Jesus Christ! Put some clothes on you pasty white fuck!
Guy: Clothes? These are clothes! I must say, our merch team out-did themselves. These are super comfy!
Calvin Harris: ... Dude, after being arrested last week. Thanks to your shenanigans. And having to share that jail cell with you. Then this week sharing a tent with you... keep in mind. You aren't even a contractually obligated Superstar! And discovering you sleep naked. The last thing I want to do is see all of this and have a conversation with you. When you're not wearing any pants!
Guy: Pfft! It wasn't even that bad. Jail had amazing cornbread and it was hot out there. What did you expect me to do?! Sweat and possibly overheat?!
He had a puzzled look all over that painted expression of his.
Guy: And might as well get used to it. This is tonight's attire. Along with my trusty cape! Gotta be a walking billboard if we're going to sell things. Bring in that cash munnies in.
Calvin Harris: If you think that you're going out there wearing that tonight. You are sadly mistaken!
For that moment Calvin kept his hands up over his eyes. Making sure he continued to shield himself from anything that he didn't want to see.
Guy: Dude! You're overreacting! This is some sexy attire.
Calvin Harris: Sexy to who?!
Guy: Well I know someone named Ales-- Nevermind!
Calvin Harris: You better cut that shit out.
That was enough to make Calvin drop his hand. It was clear where GUY was heading with his comments. Well at least clear to the Highlight of the Night. Calvin just shook his head a little bit with what was taking place. Guy taking a couple of steps towards him.
Guy: Ya should be more focused on being douchey Jack Borington and Silent Bobbi.
Calvin Harris: How the hell do you come up with these names?
Guy: My brain is a very dark place. You do not want to dig into that. Trust me on that.
Calvin Harris: ... Right. Anyway, I'm focused. I've been focused. We're just two steps away.
Guy: Huzzah! We?! Finally, you're coming around!
Calvin Harris: I meant we... as in Dawn and I. We're just two steps away. We win tonight. We're in the finals. Then if we win the finals. We've got our respective shots at the SCW Heavyweight and Bombshell Championship. It's just so close. I can taste it on the tip of my tongue!
Guy: What's it taste like? Banana flavored? Anything banana flavored is great!
The side-eye that Calvin was giving at that moment said all it needed to.
Guy: What?!
Calvin Harris: Nothing, just like we talked about earlier this week. If I'm going to allow you to be out there tonight. Please stay out of the way. Don't get involved. Don't try to be a distraction. Don't do anything, but stand in the corner and let it go down.
Guy: You have my word bestie! Just going to enjoy the show as you punch your ticket to the finals!
He placed his hand over the shoulder of Calvin and just looked off into the distance in a proud manner. Calvin looked over at him for a second or two before shrugging that hand of him. Realizing this was a bit awkward in the choice of attire. Right away Calvin walked out of the locker room, Guy not too far behind him with the cameras cutting to some more action.
Senior referee Jasmine St. John steps through the ropes, ready to officiate the upcoming match. She shakes the hand of ring announcer Justin Decent and takes her spot to his immediate right so that the introductions can commence.
Justin: The following mixed tag team match is a Semi-Final match in the 2023 Blast From the Past Memorial tournament!
The Romanian crowd cheers!
Justin: The winners of this match advance to the Championship Finals in London, England May 7 at Into the Void XII!
More cheers!
Justin: Introducing first...!
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. She claps the hands of the roaring fans before sliding into the ring.
Justin: Currently in the ring ... the "Pink Puppy" Dawn Warren!
Dawn bounces enthusiastically on the ropes, waving to the fans with a bright smile.
Justin: And her tag team partner...!
The arena's lights found themselves dimming down at the start of "Save Yourself" by One Ok Rock began to play throughout the speakers. About that time a single spot light shined down in the middle of the stage as the crowd found themselves starting to sing a lot to the song. A small shot of the crowd from the cameras was shown before cutting back to stage. In the very moment Calvin Harris found himself stepping out to the middle spotlight where he was slamming his head around to the music. The sight of the superstar caused a huge pop from those in attendance. Quickly, Calvin stood up straight and brought his hand to his head shielding his eyes a little bit as he looked out into the crowd seemingly acknowledging those in attendance.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing at this time from Chicago, Illinois. Weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds! The Highlight of the Night, Calvin Harris!
By that time his introduction had come to an end. Calvin had begun to make his way down the ramp slapping hands with a couple of fans on either side of the ramp. By the time he had reached the ringside area, He made a short quick dash towards the ring sliding under the bottom rope and standing up. He pointed towards one of the turnbuckles as the cheers from those in attendance continued. Running to that turnbuckle he stepped up to it on the second ring and looked out into the crowd. A slight smirk crossed his lips. As his music began to fade out Calvin hopped down and turned his attention to the match set to take place.
Justin: And their opponents...!
All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor starts to play through the sound system. The crowd erupts in loud cheers, as Bobbie Dahl bursts through the curtain, sans her once signature angel wings. Her eyes are narrowed as she stares down to the ring, and Artie joins her moments later.
Justin: Making her way to the ring! Weighing in at two hundred forty pounds! From Coal City, Illinois! Please welcome, the one! The Only! BOBBIE DAHL!!!
Bobbie continues her way to the ring, no longer showing off the fun attitude everyone was so used to seeing. She now carries a much serious and determined demeanor as she walks alone, stomping her way to the ring. Once she reaches the ring, she walks up the steel steps and enters through the ropes heading to the center of the ring, staring across the ring at them until the bell rings!
Justin: And her tag team partner...!
"Wasted" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Jack Washington parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face
Justin: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! Weighing two hundred and twenty five pounds! He is the current Internet Champion! Jack Washington!!
He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.
Adams: The first Semi-Final! I can't WAIT to see who is the first to move on to the finals!
Simone: No matter who it is, they will certainly have earned it. Both of these teams have went through a trial by fire to get this far.
Calvin nods to Dawn and grips her shoulder as he steps out onto the apron, taking hold of the tag rope. Opposite, Bobbie holds her hands up for a double high-five and Jack rolls his eyes ... but eventually obliges. He too steps through the ropes (avoiding another slap to the ass) to the outside.
Adams: And it looks like the Bombshells are starting!
Jasmine calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Bobbie and the (MUCH!) smaller Dawn step into the center of the ring, talking trash to one another in each others' faces, Bobbie looking down on her - literally.
Adams: Will you look at the size difference here? And I don't mean just weight but height too! How is Dawn going to handle this?
Simone: Dawn is giving up several inches in height and almost a full one hundred and forty pounds. This won't be easy.
And Bobbie quickly shows her strength advantage by shoving Dawn down to the mat! Dawn slowly starts to rise, staring in awe at the larger Bobbie Dahl. Dawn then lunges at her! Bobbie swings wildly but Dawn ducks under the decapitating blow and comes off the far side and she leaps onto Dahl - literally - with her legs wrapped around Bobbie's upper body while Dawn starts throwing rapid forearm shots to the head!
Adams: Dawn Warren is like a little ankle biting Chihuahua!
Simone: Bobbie is trying to get Dawn off of her but not having much luck.
But Bobbie finally pries her off and throws her down to the mat and goes for an elbow smash but Dawn rolls out of the way, Bobbie's elbow crunching into the canvas. Bobbie rises as Dawn comes off of the ropes and she jumps for a high cross body but Bobbie catches her!
Simone: Oh that move never would have worked on Bobbie!
And Bobbie goes for a body slam but Dawn shifts her weight and ends up on Bobbie's back, trapping her in a sleeper!
Adams: That's one way to cut Bobbie down to size!
Simone: Indeed! This might not put Bobbie down but it will weaken her!
Bobbie staggers in the hold, trying to get her off and reach the ropes, but then she reaches back behind her and grabs Dawn by the head and throws her off over her shoulder! Dawn slowly sits up and Bobbie comes off the ropes with her diving body press!!
Adams: OHH!
Bobbie with the immediate cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Dawn gets her shoulder up!
Bobbie stands up, bringing Dawn up along with her and she Irish whips her into the near corner. Bobbie then gets a running start and at the last minute, Dawn catches her with a drop toe hold, causing Bobbie to fall and hit the middle turnbuckle face-first! Dawn then beats a hasty retreat and tags out to Calvin Harris!
Simone: Now THIS match I have long been interested in!
Adams: Two of the BEST! Calvin Harris and the Internet Champion Jack Washington!
The men climb into the ring and the pair begin to circle one another, sizing the opposition up. Calvin then pauses and extends a hand in good sportsmanship. Jack just looks at him and sneers, backing up a step and shaking his head no.
Adams: Yeah Jack isn't exactly the 'sportsmanship' type.
Calvin shrugs, a smirk on his face and the two then lock up! Both men struggle and strain to gain the upper hand until finally Jack's strength is put on full display as he backs Harris up against the ropes. Jasmine steps in and orders a break.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And perhaps shockingly, Jack breaks clean with a smug grin on his face.
Adams: Can you believe that?
Simone: Jack Washington with a clean break!
Jack gives him space to get off of the ropes and the two men circle again and lock up - and again Jack gains the upper hand, backing Calvin into the ropes. Again Jasmine calls for the break and starts her count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Jack again backs off clean -- and then he lunges for a cheap shot but Calvin sees it coming and he jumps aside, causing Jack to fall into the ropes! The fans cheer as Calvin taps a finger to his head and Jack slowly gets up off of his knees, absolutely incensed at being embarrassed! Jack then points at Harris, complaining to Jasmine!
Adams: What is he complaining about??? That Calvin didn't stand there and LET him hit him???
Jack turns around d to continue the match and POW! A super kick right to the face from Calvin! Jack goes down like he was shot and Calvin pounces for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Kick out by Jack!
Adams: Bloody hell that was close!
Simone: Calvin caught Jack by complete surprise and it almost cost Jack and Bobbie the match!
Jack looks completely dazed as Calvin is sitting up, nodding and smiling. Calvin brings Jack to his feet and sends him staggering into the ropes with a knife edge chop! Calvin sends him into the ropes and attempts a discus clothesline but Jack somehow ducks behind him and attempts a full nelson, only to have Calvin drops down out of the hold and knock Jack back with a Pele kick! Jack falls against the ropes and Calvin flies right into him with a leaping forearm smash! Calvin then Irish whips him into the ropes once again but this time he hip tosses him over and turns it into a neck breaker!
Adams: All I can say is that it's a good thing the Internet title isn't at stake!
Simone: The fact that it's not might be what is working against Jack here!
rather than go straight for the pin, Calvin instead steps out onto the apron and climbs to the top of the corner. Calvin signals to the SCW Universe in attendance, garnering cheers! He then LEAPS for a frog splash -- but Jack brings both knees up and Calvin lands right on them stomach-first!
Adams: We'll be lucky if we don't find out what Calvin had for dinner!
Calvin staggers to his feet, clutching his midsection and his face marred in agony! Jack comes up behind with a German suplex into a bridge!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Kick out by Calvin!
Adams: So close!
Simone: Just as expected, these two are putting on a clinic!
Rather than tag out for a breather, Jack grabs Calvin into a front face lock and lifts him up high for a delayed vertical suplex! Jack holds him there and does a series of squats to show off -- Bobbie fanning herself!
Simone: I think Bobbie is more impressed than the fans are.
And finally Jack brings him crashing down! The fall rattles Calvin and Jack covers him again, hooking the leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Kick out by Calvin!
Jack shouts out in anger, pounding a fist into the mat!
Adams: Careful there Jack!
Simone: If he loses his cool with a man like Calvin Harris it could be disastrous!
Jack stands up, shouting at Jasmine for a faster count! He pulls Calvin up along with him, scoops him up and hits a shoulder breaker! Jack then slices a thumb across his throat and backs up the corner until he reaches the top turnbuckle. Jack sizes him up and jumps for a guillotine leg drop -- and Calvin rolls out of the way! Jack lands on his tailbone so hard he BOUNCES off the mat!
Simone: Are there donut pillows available backstage!?
Adams: I don't care how much extra padding Jack has back there! That HAD to hurt!
Jack staggers up on bowed legs and falls back into the ropes but close enough Bobbie tags herself back in! Dawn sees the tag and she jumps to the top rope and uses it as a springboard but Bobbie collides right with her like a brick wall, Dawn bouncing off and tumbling to the canvas! Bobbie wastes no time as Dawn recovers and Dahl comes off of the ropes and jumps, hitting a BIG Splash!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Dawn gets her shoulder up!
Adams: Bobbie came THIS CLOSE to ending the match!
Bobbie stands up, bringing the much smaller Dawn up along with her. Bobbie sends her into the ropes but Dawn comes off with a dropkick that staggers Dahl! Dawn tries a second dropkick and still Bobbie doesn't leave her feet! Dawn then grabs Bobbie by the arm and she goes for a whip into the corner but no way! Bobbie puts on the brakes and reverses it, sending Dawn into the corner but Dawn springboards up to the top turnbuckle and flies off with a missile dropkick and FINALLY Bobbie goes down! Dawn dives on for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Bobbie gets her shoulder up!
Adams: Ohhh! SO close!
Dawn hammers away with forearms but Bobbie shoves her away! Bobbie gets to her feet and Dawn springs up onto her shoulders for an attempted victory roll -- but Bobbie falls forward at the waist, dropping Dawn chest-first over the top rope and slingshots back -- bringing poor Dawn crashing back onto the canvas! Bobbie stands up and comes off of the ropes and jumps, landing with a senton across Dawn's sternum! Bobbie lays back across her upper body in a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Dawn gets her shoulder up!
Adams: How!? HOW!?
Simone: Judging by the look on Bobbie's face, she's asking the same thing!
Bobbie indeed does look shocked! Slowly, she stands up and brings Dawn to her feet! Bobbie sends her hard into the corner and she charges in for a spear -- but Dawn moves and Bobbie goes through the turnbuckles and hits the post!!!
Adams: Oh! I think she hit her head!
Simone: I believe she did! Bobbie could be out!
Bobbie is just hanging there in the ropes! She staggers back slowly and Dawn jumps over her back and hits a sunset bomb!
Simone: Think Pink!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners! And ADVANCING to the 2023 Blast From the Past Finals in London! The team of Dawn Warren and Calvin Harris!!!
Dawn jumps onto Calvin for a hug as Jasmine raises their arms while Jack surprises many by checking on the dazed and hurt Bobbie Dahl!
INTERNET CHAMPIONSHIP
Jack Washington (c) v Alexander Raven
Backstage at that particular moment. Cameras found themselves catching up with Calvin Harris who was undoing his wrist tape. He was covered in sweat and looked exhausted, but that was the nature of working a hard fight like the contest he was just in. But it was moments like this that mattered, especially when you pulled out a major win. Like he and Dawn did to advantage to the Blast From The Past tournament finals. Entering the picture suddenly was Scott Oliver. Calvin noticed him with a big smirk as he extended his hand.
Calvin Harris: Big Scottie! What's up dude?!
The two shook his hands for a brief moment.
Scott Oliver: You know doing that day job stuff.
Calvin Harris: Oh yeah? Take it you got a couple questions for me?
Scott Oliver: If you don't mind.
Calvin Harris: Nah, not at all. Just try and make it quick. I got a big bag of Sour Patch Kids waiting for me in the locker room. Can't wait to snack on them bad boys!
Scott Oliver: Well, it's obvious what has just happened tonight. You and Dawn were able to get past the Internet Champion: Jack Washington and Bobbie Dahl tonight. You're headed to the Finals of the tournament. I have to ask. How does it feel?!
Before, Calvin even had a chance to attempt to answer the question. The shouting of the word "WAIT" could be heard all the way down the hall. Out of sheer curiosity Calvin and Scott both peaked their head towards the direction of the person shouting. Rushing towards both of them with something in his hands, happened to the mischievous Guy. He rushed up to both of them. Starting to hand out what was in his hand. It appeared to be some type of beverage.
Guy: Here! Drinks for everyone!
Calvin and Scott just stood there with these new found drinks in their hand. Watching as Guy began to untwist the cap to his drink. He looked back at the two of them.
Guy: C'mon! Open them! This is a cause for celebration.
Scott Oliver: I'd rather not drink something that looks so... yellow.
Calvin Harris: What the hell is this, Guy? And what are we even celebrating?!
Guy: What are we celebrating?! We're celebrating you and woof-woof chick making it to the finals. This is an amazing accolade my good friend!
The excitement in Guy's voice said it all. He was very pleased for his friend and what had taken place tonight.
Guy: And this?! This is some of the finest banana flavored milk cash munnies can buy!
Scott Oliver: Banana flavored Milk?!
Guy: Yes, you funny smellin' twig man! Drink up! It's good for us.
Calvin Harris: Nah, count me out. I'm not drinking banana flavored milk. Especially after a hot ass match? Besides this shit looks chunky as hell. Are you sure it's even good anymore?!
Guy: Like I would put my best friend and tag team partner in danger... You? Eh, jury is still out on you.
For a brief moment he pointed at Scott.
Calvin Harris: I appreciate the offer dude, but again I'm going to have to pass. Besides, I don't see this as a chance to celebrate anything. Yes, Dawn and I made it to the finals. But as the great Kobe once said. Job's not finished.
Guy: In all my ears on planet earth... which have not been many, but nevertheless. I have never heard a thing of Kobe Beef talk!
Calvin Harris: Oh my god.
There was a brief facepalm on Calvin's end. Before he proceeded to hand the thing of milk back over to Guy.
Calvin Harris: If Dawn and I come out the winners at Into The Void. Then and only then, is there a chance to celebrate. For now, I gotta call the wife and kids to check in.
He patted Guy on the shoulder before turning and walking away. Leaving Guy and Scott to just stand there with each other. A couple of moments of awkward silence had taken place amongst them before Guy suddenly snatched the milk away from Scott.
Guy: ... Mine.
Taking the one thing of Milk that was open and started to down it while walking away. Leaving Scott on his own now. Cameras found themselves cutting away to more action.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Ariana Angelos standing in front of her white board.
Ariana: Today class, we're talking about second chances, something that doesn't happen all that often in normal everyday life and even rarer in wrestling!
Ariana states as she points to the picture of the closing moments between her and Devona from last week's Blast from the Past Match.
Ariana: As you undoubtedly know by now, me and Oliver are out of the Blast from the Past Tournament having been eliminated by Devona and J2H! And no, I won't say it the way J2H would prefer! Devona got the pin on me, she's getting named first, plus, ladies first and all that!
Ariana states before she points to the match between her and Zoey.
Ariana: This brings us to my first singles match of the whole cycle, this one on one #1 Contenders Match between me and Zoey is to determine Roxi's next challenger at Into the Void! Now, this time last year at the climax...........
Ariana pauses before shaking her head.
Ariana: Err, pun definitely not intended!
Ariana admits getting a few laughs out of the crowd.
Ariana: I made my PPV debut against Char Kwan, in a match that immediately followed my first loss in SCW courtesy of Zoey's older sister Alicia! Funny how things come around isn't it? Off course there's two differences here, if Zoey wins she'll get the shot at Roxi and not me and, well, let's be honest class.
Ariana says before pointing to a pic of Char Kwan and then Roxi.
Ariana: Comparing Char Kwan to Roxi is like comparing a delicious bowl of ice cream to literal cow dung! And here's a int, the stand in for cow dung is definitely not Roxi Johnson!
Ariana says before moving the pointer back to the match.
Ariana: Obviously this would be a huge match for both of us no matter who wins but the significance of Into the Void to me and Roxi being one of my favourite wrestlers growing up makes this a must-win for me! Zoey? Bring all the strength and power you've got because I'm ready to counter with my speed and agility as you bask in the Greek Angel's light!
Ariana walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: Our next match is for the Number One Contendership for the World Bombshell Championship held by Roxi Johnson. First to make her way to the ring, she hails from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and she comes into this match at five feet six inches and one hundred twenty pounds, please give a great Romania welcome to ARIANA ANGELOS!!!
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. Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics then 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.
Adams: I feel Ariana Angelos will win this match and advance to Into The Void XII to face Roxy Johnson for the World Bombshell Championship.
Simone: Are you seriously being serious? Ariana is giving up seven inches of height and seventy-five pounds of weight to Zoey Lukas. To put it as nicely as I am able to Ariana has a snowball's chance in hell of defeating Zoey Lukas.
Adams: What? You are always the one to claim that having a height and weight advantage does not equate into a win for a wrestler and now you are claiming it does.
Simone: Because it does matter in this match.
Justin: Next to make her way to the ring, she hails from Atlanta, Georgia, and she comes into this match at six feet one inch and one hundred ninety-five pounds, please give a great Romanian welcome to ZOEY LUKAS!!!
"Dancing with the dead" by Crown The Empire hits and a green spotlight hits the stage. Zoey comes out from the backstage area and stands in the middle of the green spotlight with a smile on her face. She throws her hands across her chest in an X with her hands up in the metal horns. The crowd erupts in a mixed reaction towards her. Zoey then makes her way down to the ring looking at the fans with a smirk shaking her head before running and jumping onto the apron sliding across her knee and then she pops up and does the X again before getting into the ring. Zoey glares over at Ariana but Ariana is calm about the whole thing.
Adams: Ugh! I just can't stomach Zoey Lukas. I feel like I have a sour stomach.
Simone: That is probably due to something you ate and the fact that even on your best day you would never be able to score with a woman as classy as Zoey.
Referee Dawn Barnes walks to the center of the ring and she calls Zoey and Ariana to join her there. With Ariana on one side of her and Zoey on the other Referee Barnes goes over the rules of the match which is Standard rules. Referee Barnes further informs the two that she will be very strict in enforcing the rules of this type of match and she will not tolerate cheating or attempts to introduce a foreign object into the match. Referee Dawn Barnes asks Zoey and Ariana if they fully understand how she will officiate their match and both indicated that they fully understand. Before sending the two wrestlers to their corners to wait for the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start the match she checks both Zoey Lukas and Ariana Angelos to ensure neither has weapons or foreign objects, or prohibited substances. Finding both wrestlers clean she tells them they need to return to their corners and when the bell rings to come out fighting.
DING DING DING!
Adams: Here we go!
Simone: This should be an interesting match.
When Zoey and Ariana hear the bell they both charge out of their corners and slam into each other in the center of the ring. They start trading blows but when Zoey starts pounding Ariana with closed fists Referee Dawn Barnes steps in to stand between the two and she faces Zoey and issues a warning to her for using illegal blows. Zoey questions the Referee's decision but she doesn't get anywhere making an appeal to the Referee but there is nothing she can to about it. Referee Barnes motions for the two to get back into the action as she steps aside to observe the action.
Adams: No surprise there having Zoey Lukas violating the rules on the first exchange of the match.
Simone: I do not see it as a deliberate violation of the rules Jason. Both wrestlers were delivering legal blows on each other and I feel it was the two getting into the action against the other and Zoey inadvertently hit Ariana with a closed fist punch.
Adams: Belinda maybe you should get a side job as an Attorney as you sure are good as skewing the facts.
This time Ariana and Zoey lock up and vie for position against the other. With Zoey being larger she seems to be having more success maneuvering Ariana back towards the corner. However when they get close to the corner Ariana surprises Zoey with a quick maneuver to get behind Zoey to grab her around her body and drive her hard into the corner driving the air out of Zoey's lungs. Hanging on to Zoey we watch as Ariana pulls Zoey up and over in a Suplex driving Zoey hard into the mat. From the camera angle it appears the head of Zoey whacked hard on the mat. Ariana takes the opportunity to leap onto Zoey and she hooks both her legs for the pin. Referee Dawn Barnes drops into position and after checking that both shoulders of Zoey are on the mat she begins the count on the pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
Before Referee Dawn Barnes can raise her hand to begin the third count on the pin attempt we see Zoey Lucas get her shoulder up stopping the count at two. Referee Barnes raises her hand with two fingers showing indicating it was only a two count. As Ariana is attempting to get Zoey back into a pin attempt Zoey is able to land a few blows that causes Ariana to release her hold on her and then Zoey shoves Ariana off and to the side.
Adams: Well, Belinda, it looks like being taller and heavier than your opponent isn't all the advantage people think it is. Zoey came close to losing this match to Ariana very early in this match.
Simone: The fact that Zoey got out of the pin attempt says a lot about how a wrestler who is taller and heavier than their opponent can get out of situations that smaller and lighter wrestlers might not be able to get out of. Also remember the saying that CLOSIES ONLY COUNT IN HORSESHOES AND HAND GRENADES and this match is not about a game of horseshoes or playing with hand grenades. Ariana just came up short and unless she can figure a way to counter the height and weight difference she is going to lose.
Both wrestlers get to their feet and they stand a distance apart glaring at each other. Zoey motions to Ariana to bring it on and Ariana does the same motion. They exchange words and the instant Ariana looks to the side to get approval from the fans we watch Zoey fly across the ring hitting Ariana with a Spear driving her hard into the mat. Zoey wastes no time in diving on top of Ariana for the pin attempt and she manages to hook one leg and she pulls hard on that leg to keep the shoulders of Ariana on the mat. After Referee Dawn Barns checks the shoulders of Ariana to ensure they are on the mat she starts the count on the pinfall attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
Even though Zoey is larger and heavier than Ariana she manages to use her free leg enough to lift herself up on that side allowing her to roll to the side enough to get her shoulder off the mat resulting in only a two count from Referee Barnes. Zoey is upset at Referee Barnes and she complains to Referee Barnes that if she had started counting quicker she would have obtained the pinfall and the victory in this match. Referee Barnes takes offense to Zoey trying to tell her how to do her job as Referee in this match and Zoey takes offense to that remark but she has no choice but to accept the Referee's comment. Zoe returns her attention to Ariana who is trying to get out of the grasp of Zoey so Zoey lands several nice shots across the upper body of Ariana and then she goes for a pin attempt again this time hooking both legs of Ariana.
ONE!
TWO!
Once again we see Ariana manage to get a shoulder up to break the count at two and Referee Barnes makes sure she raised her hand showing a two count. Although Zoey is upset she didn't get the pinfall again she accepts it and the two separate and move a distance from each other with Ariana on the other side of the ring learning against the ropes.
Simone: You bring up a good point but you also have to realize nearly every wrestler has done that during their career. It happens as the wrestler was sure they had a pinfall win and it did not happen.
Due to being ticked off at coming up one count short of a pinfall we see Zoey glaring at Ariana leaning on the ropes and we wonder what will happen next. After taking a few steps towards Ariana we watch as Zoey takes off in a quick fast run at Ariana and she slams hard into Ariana and that causes Ariana to flip over the ropes to the arena floor. Referee Barnes orders Zoey to remain inside the ring but Zoey is not going for that as she wants to punish Ariana and Zoey exits the ring. With both wrestlers on the arena floor Referee Barnes begins a count on both wrestlers who are on the outside of the ring.
Adams: Oh, man, this is not likely to end well.
Simone: You mean it will end poorly for Ariana.
ONE!
Ariana decides to take action before Zoey does something so she charges at Zoey but Zoey spins to the side causing Ariana to hit the side of the ring.
TWO!
Zoey walks over and drags Ariana over to the ring steps. She then goes to slam Ariana into the ring steps but Ariana spins out of her grasp and when she charges her and drives Zoey backward into the steps. As Zoey drops to the arena floor we see Ariana move several feet away where she stands facing the ring with her back to the barricade that separates them from the fans.
THREE!
Ariana remains where she is at and the look on Zoey's face is enough to tell us that she is extremely upset. Zoey slowly walks towards Ariana and she gets close she takes off in a fast run and goes for what appears to be a Spear. As she is about to nail the Spear on Ariana we see Ariana spin to the side and this causes Zoey to slam into the barricade causing that section of barricade to fall over into the area where the fans are located.
FOUR!
As Referee Barnes continues her count on both wrestlers Ariana runs to the ring and returns inside the ring which stops the count on her. Referee Barnes orders Ariana to remain inside the ring and then she starts another count on Zoey.
ONE!
Adams: If Zoey is not able to get back into the ring within the ten count by Referee Barnes then Ariana will be the one to move up to face Roxi Johnson at Into The Void XII.
Simone: You must be the king of wishful thinking.
TWO!
Zoe is not moving much except to try to turn over so she can attempt to get to her feet and try to return to the ring to stop the count on her.
THREE!
FOUR!
Zoey turns over and manages to get to her knees but when she attempts to stand up her legs are wobbly and she drops to her knees again.
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Zoey finally manages to get to her feet and she steps over the downed barricade and starts to make her way to the ring.
EIGHT!
NINE!
Zoey looks up when she hears the nine count from Referee Barnes. She takes off as quickly as she can to try to get back into the ring before the ten count is delivered.
TEN!
Adams: Yesssss!!!
Simone: Nooooo!!!
DING DING DING!
Referee Barnes gives her final decision on the match to Justin and he presents the results to the crowd.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen due to Zoey Lukas was not able to return inside the ring before the ten count was delivered Referee Dawn Barnes counted out Zoey and the winner of this match, and the wrestler to go on to face Roxi Johnson for the World Bombshell Championship at Into The Void VII, is ARIANA ANGELOS!!!
Referee Barnes raises the hand of Ariana for the win then Ariana exits the ring and returns into the backstage area. Zoey motions to Referee Barnes that she will be okay and then she turns and makes her way to return backstage.
Adams: I do not like it when a match ends by a count out like this but that is how the sport of wrestling goes sometimes.
Simone: Yeah stuff happens sometimes.
WORLD BOMBSHELL CHAMPIONSHIP
Roxi Johnson (c) v Ariana Angelos
The arena cuts to black as the slow guitar intro of "Blood Lightning" by Lutharo is heard over the PA System, right as the song launches into the opening guitar solo the lights start to flash across the arena before a single spotlight shines on Jessie headbanging to the song.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome THE NEW SCW BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPION, JESSIE SALCO!
Jessie poses at the top of the ramp with her newly won title just as the clean vocals of Krista is heard over the PA before she makes her way down the ramp, Jessie rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd again as the song fades and Jessie asks for a mic from a stage hand.
Jessie: Eleven years, sometimes it feels like I've only been in his company for a year, and last week at Climax Control where I dethroned Luna?
Jessie smirks as she looks at her title.
Jessie: It was like it all came full circle because at Blaze of Glory II ten years ago? I won this title for the first time! Obviously a lot has happened over the past ten years but I plan to make the most of my reign! I mean, it took me long enough to win this thing for the fifth time, right?
Jessie asks as she rests the title over her shoulder.
Jessie: But unlike when I won this title ten years ago? I know who my first challenger will be and she's a woman who I'm pretty sure has been wrestling longer than me! Kim, I'm going to save my thoughts on you for the promo itself but you earned your shot at this title at Blaze of Glory XI! Now, your original target for this title was off course Crystal whatever her surname is this week because she was the champion at the time but I don't know if you've noticed? Things have changed.
Jessie says as she rubs her title with her free hand.
Jessie: But one thing hasn't! The fact that I've wanted a match with you since you arrived in SCW earlier this year! But again, I'll go into detail about that later, for now? I bet you guys are wondering what my plans are for this title.
Jessie comments as she brushes some hair over her shoulder.
Jessie: Frankly? After years of being a one and done champion time and time again? I'll just be happy to get past the first defence, much less get anywhere near the record set by Krystal Wolfe in 2021/early 2022, I'm not even thinking about having a reign as long as Ariana's or Crystal's, out of the five title reigns? Only one made it past he first defence and it's high time that changed!
Jessie adds as she goes to leave the ring.
Jessie: Kim? See you at Into the Void, I'll be watching tonight's Main Event closely, mostly to watch Crystal's destruction but also to scout you before I strike you like Blood Lightning!
Jessie leaves the ring and heads to the back as the scene fades.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Krystal Wolfe following her public workout/attempted arm breaking of a Romania twin storming through the backstage area clearly done for tonight.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Krystal! KRYSTAL?!
Krystal stops when she spots Rocky running up to her for an interview.
Krystal: Do you mind? I'm heading back to my tent for the rest of the night before flying out to London tomorrow.
Krystal says before she resumes on her path
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You don't have any comments on Keira's surprise return?
Krystal pauses before she turns to Rocky.
Krystal: Actually? Yeah, I do, but I don't think Keira wants to hear it.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Considering she stopped you from breaking another young wrestler's arm?
Krystal chuckles before shaking her head.
Krystal: Does she really think I'm going to stop at whatever idiot the bosses drag off the street for my public workouts?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: What are you saying?
Krystal: I said that my attacks on Jenny and Daciana were messages, but I never said who it was for didn't I? Piss me off enough and I'll leave you with your arm in a sling and that's IF your lucky! And guess what? Keira just made that mistake.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: She did?!
Krystal: Keira should've stuck to training the future at Hero Academy because she just entered my sights as a future target in my quest to eliminate the past! Keira, if your watching this? Stay retired, the Bombshell Roster has enough choke artists as it is and if you don't and you continue to go after me? Well, I'll just have to use you to send another message, and maybe I'll make Roxi and Nate watch as well!
Krystal walks off with both middle fingers in the air as the scene fades.
Senior referee Jasmine St. John steps through the ropes, ready to officiate the upcoming match. She shakes the hand of ring announcer Justin Decent and takes her spot to his immediate right so that the introductions can commence.
Justin: The following mixed tag team match is a Semi-Final match in the 2023 Blast From the Past Memorial tournament!
The Romanian crowd cheers!
Justin: The winners of this match advance to the Championship Finals in London, England May 7 at Into the Void XII!
More cheers!
Justin: Introducing first...!
The giggle from the start of Kehlani's "Gangsta" floods the arena PA as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the first words of the song start, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T.
Justin: Making her way to the ring the 2018 Blast From The Past Tournament winner, Courtney Pierce!
As the beat of the song finally kicks in, the SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a huge pop from the crowd welcoming her. She stops at the top of the ramp, crosses her ankles, her purple ring gear shimmering with all of the camera flashes around the arena, and takes a slight bow to the crowd with her arms out to her sides. Court makes her way to ringside, and carefully makes her way up the ringside stairs and onto the apron. She ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and into the ring.
Justin: And her tag team partner...!
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: From Baltimore, Maryland! Weighing two hundred and eighteen pounds ... "Godly" Ken Davison!
Davison marches down to thing right with a sense of self righteous pomposity. He ignores the crowd, taking the most direct path to the ring steps, pausing to wipe his boots before getting in the ring. He stands in the center of the ring with his arms extended as the music cuts out.
Justin: And their opponents...!
"Jazz Stinger" begins to play across the arena's sound system and moments later, the curtains part and Devona walks out onto the stage to the approval of the fans. She looks calmly out at the crowd and slowly smiles while nodding her head.
Justin: Introducing! From New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing one hundred and twenty eight pounds -- Devona!
Holding her arms out, Devona turns in a full circle atop the stage before she begins descending the ramp and walks toward the ringside area, slapping hands left and right along the way. She then gets a running start and slides smoothly into the ring, beneath the bottom rope. Hopping to her feet, Devona jumps onto the bottom rope to look out to the cheering fans, holding her arms out and beckons with her hands for more and louder cheers for which the crowd on hand obliges. She then drops back down to the mat and takes her place in her corner to wait for the start of the match.
Justin: And her tag team partner...!
The lights in the arena drop out to pitch black, before gold and blue lights flash around the top of the entrance ramp as a heavy guitar rift. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung, J2H confidently walks out on to the stage with Austin Parker.
Justin: Being Accompanied to the ring by Austin Parker. From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds, he is J2H!
Austin is wearing faded blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots and hat, as he walks slightly in front of the shirtless J2H, wearing gold shorts, boots and kneepads with "J2H" written on the back of the shorts. The SCW World Heavyweight championship sits around his waist. J2H looks around the crowd before he walks towards the ring with, a confident look on his face. The lights brighten slightly as he gets closer to the ring, stepping up the steps and through the middle of the ropes and in to the ring. He moves towards the center of the ring, putting his arms to either side as gold pyros spit up from the turnbuckles. J2H look to the sky before looking down and round the fan, cockiness dripping from the young man. He turns to his opponent, looking him up and down before the match starts.
Adams: Do you think Devona and J2H will have the same issues over who starts like they did last week?
Simone: I certainly hope not. That dispute almost cost them the match.
And indeed it doesn't seem so as J2H passes by his partner and steps through the ropes and grabs the tag rope in their corner, and Ken Davison fist bumps Courtney and takes his place on the outside as well.
Simone: Well it's nice to see some semblance of maturity this week.
Jasmine checks that all are ready and she calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Courtney and Devona emerge from their corners and begin to circle the ring, before Devona extends a hand in a gesture of sportsmanship and Courtney accepts it, drawing cheers from the fans.
Simone: A refreshing sight to see in this day and age of the sport.
Adams: You just have to wonder how long that'll last.
The two then circle again and they lock up, and right away Courtney slips through and takes control in a side headlock, wrenching Devona's neck. Courtney then ducks behind her, changing holds to a hammerlock, then grabs her in a rear waist lock and she takes Devona down to the mat in a catch as catch can maneuver. Courtney holds her on the mat in the waist lock as Devona scrambles to escape. Courtney rises to her knees and Devona uses the leverage to throw her over in an arm drag, then holding her down on the mat in an overhead wrist lock on the mat. Courtney rolls backwards to break the hold but Devona sweeps her legs out from under her and goes for a fast pin.
ONE!
Courtney kicks out!
Both women are right up and Devona grabs her into a side headlock and hip tosses her over, maintaining the hold! Courtney tries to kick out from the hold but Devona has her held tight. Courtney then uses her legs to break the hold, grabbing Devona into a head scissors. Now Devona kicks her legs to get free but Courtney maintains the pressure of the hold, until Devona rolls over, breaking the hold and putting her in a grapevine with Pierce face-down on the mat.
Simone: So far we are seeing a very clean display of some great chain wrestling by both women.
Adams: 'So far'...
Devona cranks the pressure of the hold as Courtney fights to find a way out, but refuses to submit or tap out. Courtney uses her forearms to drag herself closer to the ropes but just as she's about to reach, Devona lets go and drags her right back to the center of the ring and back to the hold. Devona then lets go and floats over, taking her into a front face lock. Courtney slowly is able to rise to her knees and then all the way to her feet. Devona quickly counters, switching back to a side headlock, then ducking behind her into a hammerlock and then she drops down and rolls Courtney up into a reverse cradle!
ONE!
TWO!
Courtney kicks out!
Both women roll away from the other, creating space and stand. Their partners both call out for the tag and both women oblige, tagging J2H and Ken Davison in respectively.
Simone: Now we are about to see what could be a classic between one of the best currently and the best of all time!
But just as soon as the men are inside, Ken suddenly bulls himself right into J2H's body, plowing the smaller grappler back into the nearest corner where he buries his shoulder into J2H's midsection over and over under the threat of a disqualification! Ken backs off just enough to avoid the count of five on behalf of Jasmine before he moves right back in and he begins to pulverize the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion with stiff forearm shots to the side of the head!
Adams: "Godly" Ken is showing the world just why he's a charter member of a team like the Saviors!
J2H shoves him away and Ken moves back in, but J2H uses both feet to try and kick him away but Ken grabs him by both boots and YANKS him from the corner, causing J2H to fall hard on the back of his head and back! J2H quickly rolls out of the ring, breaking any momentum that Ken was building for himself! Ken argues with Jasmine as J2H takes a breather, staring out at the fans. Jasmine then begins her count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Ken then moves up to the ropes and reaches through to grabs J2H but it's what the former champion was waiting for as he grabs Ken by the boot, tripping him up and dragging him out of the ring and traps him between the ring and the apron surrounding it! J2H then returns the favor with an attack of his own, throwing forearms one right after the other into the pinned in Davison until the former World and Internet Champion falls under the apron and to the floor!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
J2H rolls back inside, then back out to break the count! He drags Ken to his feet and whips him hard into the barricade, Ken staggering off with his back arched! J2H kicks him in the midsection, doubling him over and he hits a Reverse STO on the floor! J2H drags Ken back to his feet and rolls him back inside where he slides in and makes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Ken kicks out!
Simone: Ken is a fighter but I wouldn't have been surprised had that STO on the floor ended things!
J2H stands at Ken's side and jumps, landing with both knees in mid midsection, then rolls over and to his feet where in a single fluid movement, J2H hits a picture perfect standing moonsault into a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Ken gets a shoulder up!
J2H pinches a thumb and forefinger together, staring into the camera. He then stands, pulling Ken up along with him and he goes for an Irish whip into the ropes but Ken suddenly reverses it and catches him with a Tilt-A-Whirl back breaker! J2H rolls over on the mat, clutching his arched back as Ken staggers over and tags Courtney back in!
Simone: Ken might have stolen the advantage from J2H but he knew he needed to get out of there.
Devona sees the tag and she's right inside but Courtney catapults herself into the ring and wipes Devona out with a flying body press! Courtney runs straight into the ropes and comes off, Devona scooping her up for a sidewalk slam but Pierce countering with a Tilt-A-Whirl head scissors, throwing her over! The maneuver throws Devona face-and-chest-first into the ropes where she falls to her knees and Courtney comes racing off the far side and into a 619 kick! The blow staggers Devona, knocking her back into the center of the ring where the 2018 Champion springboards once again off the ropes and into a cross body and cover, hooking the inside leg!
ONE!
TWO!
Devona kicks out!
Adams: Courtney is all over Devona!
Simone: The feeling out process at the start of this match is long gone!
Courtney brings her up and sends her hard into the near corner where she jumps in for a monkey flip but Devona holds onto the top ropes and Pierce falls back, landing hard on the back of her head!
Simone: Right there is the opening Devona needs!
Courtney rolls over, holding the back of her head and she sits up and Devona careens right into her with a Shining wizard! Devona with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Courtney gets a shoulder up!
But Devona immediately grabs Courtney by the arm as Pierce rolls over and Devona rolls over and bridges, trapping Pierce in a bridging Fujiwara!
Adams: Oh look at how far back Devona has her arm bent!
Simone: I don't think anyone would blame Courtney Pierce were she to tap out!
But Courtney is valiant and she refuses! Instead she uses her free arm to drag herself closer to the mat and she extends her leg, and the toes of her boot just barely catch the bottom rope! This alone forces the break and Jasmine counts against Devona!
ONE!
TWO!
Devona breaks almost immediately and she stands close enough to where J2H is able to reach and tag himself back into the match.
Adams: Here comes the Great One!
Simone: I'm not certain but I don't think Devona appreciated that!
J2H instructs Devona to exit the ring and she does so under protest. J2H turns around and is sent into a 360 tailspin by a discus clothesline from Ken!
Simone: And J2H might be regretting making that tag!
Ken is all over J2H and Irish whips him into the ropes and on the rebound, shows off his own strength by military pressing the 175 pound J2H over his head! The fans cheer in awe as Ken holds him there -- then DROPS him stomach-first across the top rope! The maneuver slingshots J2H back and Ken grabs him and brings him over face-first with an overhead belly to back suplex! Ken with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
J2H kicks out!
Adams: J2H has proven over the years that he is nothing if not resilient!
Ken is right back up, dragging J2H along with him and Ken goes for a Choke slam on the smaller man -- but J2H rolls through and traps Davison in a cross arm breaker!
Simone: What a reversal from out of nowhere!
And Ken knows he is in trouble as he struggles wildly, kicking his legs, trying to escape and/or reach the ropes! But before he can do either, J2H releases him and drags him to his feet and he goes for an Irish whip but Ken reverses it! Ken leans over for a back body drop but J2H turns around into the move and lands on his feet behind Davison! J2H then jumps and strikes with an Enzugari, dropping Ken to his knees! J2H races off of the ropes and jumps, hitting a spiked Hurricanrana! J2H with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Ken gets his shoulder up!
J2H brings Ken up by the arm and ducks behind him in a rear waist lock. J2H then attempts a Rainmaker lariat but Ken ducks under and doubles J2H over with a boot to the midsection! Ken snatches hold of him in a front face lock, calling for a DDT when suddenly J2H twists out of the hold, takes hold of his arm and hits...
Adams: Kiss This!
J2H with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners - and advancing to the Finals at Into the Void XII! J2H and Devona!!!
The crowd cheers (with some boos) as Jasmine raises the arms of both J2H and Devona as Ken recovers on the mat, and Courtney looks visibly disappointed in their corner!
Simone: And it is settled! The 2023 Blast From the Past Finals will see J2H and Devona face Dawn Warren and Calvin Harris in London on May 7th!
BLAST FROM THE PAST 2023 FINALS
Dawn Warren and Calvin Harris vs Devona and J2H
(FREE SEG)
It was just moments before the main event of the evening. All of a sudden "Enter The Sandman" by Metallica began to play over the speakers inside the BTArena. The sheer sound of the music had the crowd in an uproar. Not a positive one at that. There was sheer hatred coming from them with their over opinionated loud boos.
Simone: It was only a matter of time before we heard from this prick.
Adams: I was honestly thinking we were going to get to go the whole show without hearing or seeing him.
Simone: We couldn't be so lucky...
Adams: Apparently not.
By that time the SCW Heavyweight Champion had made his way out to the center of the stage. His hair pulled up tight in a ponytail, real dark sunglasses to cover those soulless eyes, and the traditional leather jacket. Of course the most important key to the outfit being the Championship across his shoulder. Harris looked out at the crowd with Carmen and Blair hanging on to each one of his arms. The smirk spread across his lips at that moment only resulted in more boos from the crowd.
Adams: Look at just how smug he is. It's sickening.
Simone: It would be one thing if he was smug, and didn't realize it. But he realizes it and he uses it to his advantage every chance he gets.
Adams: I for one hope this is the last time we ever have to see him walk out here as champion. As unbiased as I'm meant to be. I'm really hoping Miles Kasey takes the title from him at, Into The Void.
Simone: Hell, I'd even take Austin winning over Harris retaining. Someone just beat him for it!
Harris was just pulling himself up on the ring apron at that moment. He pulled on the middle rope and pushed down the bottom rope for both Carmen and Blair to climb inside. Once they were in, he followed in behind them. Quickly taking the SCW Heavyweight Championship off his shoulder and hoisting it high into the air. Again another round of loud boos escaping the lips of the crowd. He couldn't help but smirk a little more at the hatred from the audience. Blair began to approach him with a microphone. Extending it in his direction. The moment he took the mic, the music died down. He turned right to the center of the ring to begin speaking.
Michael Harris: You know for being one of the poverty stricken countries in the world. I'd expected a better response. Considering this is probably the first and only time you people are going to get a chance to see some real entertainment with a real SUPERSTAR.
His comments didn't do him any favors at all. He just snickered a little bit, before finding himself continuing onward.
Michael Harris: Ever since I walked into Sin City Wrestling. I've been the most talked about superstar on the roster. There's not a single person that can deny that. Now whether or not I was talked about in a positive or negative manner is neither here nor there. Fact is, I have been the subject of everyone's conversation. And for some reason that gets under the skin of a lot of people. I mean a lot of people. Pretty much everyone on the roster. You listen to the way they talk about me in the halls. You see their little "pot shots" in their promos. All their little sub tweets. I really became the single most hated man on this roster, but you know. I think I've finally figured it out...
For just a brief moment there was a pause on his end. Like he was giving the people a chance to come up with their own conclusions. Of course his ego wasn't going to allow him to stay quiet for long.
Michael Harris: I think I know why all this hate and all this negativity is being shoved my way. It has everything to do with the fact that I was gone from wrestling for almost ten years. Just to come back and scoop up the spotlight like I never left. Just to come in and start winning with ease. Just to come in and take the Heavyweight Championship for my own. Seemingly with no effort at all. Because I'm just THAT damn good at what I do. Saying, I'm the GREATEST TO EVER DO THIS is much-much more than a catch phrase. It's the truth and it's a way of life. It's my way of life!
He pointed towards himself to get the point across. The fans still are not buying it, and likely never would. Their opinion of him was as negative as it could get and they were going to make sure they voiced that. Even if it wasn't something he wanted to hear. Yet, for him it was very easy to zone them out.
Michael Harris: That's why someone like Miles Kasey hates me. A man that signed his name to the dotted line and became a SCW Superstar back in 2020. And his only claim to fame is being a one-time SCW Roulette Champion. A reign that lasted just over a month. Easily forgettable when you think about it. Miles has never been that guy. He's never been to the top of the mountain. He doesn't know what it feels like to become the Heavyweight Champion. And to just be here, literally just be a member of the roster. Floundering around, having no real purpose. Just to have someone like me come in and become the King of the Mountain with ease. I get why he'd be bitter. I get why he'd be angry. I get why he'd hate me, but at the end of the day. That ain't my fault. It has nothing to do with me. Why should I be hated because I'm that much better than Miles? Why should I be the one that's getting shade thrown my way because the man didn't know how to make himself relevant? Why should I be the one that has all this negativity shined on me because Miles wasn't good enough to get himself a Heavyweight Championship run before I got here? Sounds absurd to me.
Harris just stood there for a second and shook his head from one side to the other. Not that it was a surprise at all he was trying to make himself seem like a victim.
Michael Harris: And then you people have the balls to try and root him on. You got the audacity to try and paint this narrative that he's going to defeat me. That's going to dethrone me. That he's going to walk out of Into The Void, the NEW Heavyweight Champion. You people are just as clueless as he is. If that man couldn't do anything on his own with the subpar talent that was on this roster, well I got here. What the hell really makes you think he can do it now? Against me. Someone that's better than anyone he's ever faced. And not just that. You already seen what happened with the two of us one on one. I beat the brakes off that kid. Nothing is going to change just because it's a triple threat match. Simply put Miles Kasey doesn't have it in him to be anything more than just a good hand on the roster.
His words were met with fierce boos. It sure seemed like at this particular moment that he was in Miles Kasey country. The looks on Blair and Carmen's face said it all. They were rather disgusted by the reaction from the fans. The champion on the other hand, he was used to at this point. Never going to be one to give them what they wanted in the sense of a reaction. He had too much pride in himself.
Michael Harris: But that brings me to the other man. You know the freak that is Austin James Mercer. As much as you people seem to think I have an ego and can't recognize what's in front of me. You're wrong. I've got no problem giving credit where credit is due. When you line Austin up side by side with Miles. You can easily see what you're going to get. You're getting a very physically imposing individual. One of the biggest and baddest pricks on the roster. And hell, you take size out of it. He still triumphs over Miles. Austin's at least done more with himself around the company. Austin has been to the top of the mountain. He knows what it's like to hold the championship that sits on my shoulder. Not just know what it's like to hold it, but know what it's like to be a champion. Considering, he was the SCW Heavyweight Champion for the better part of the year in 2019. He's been the Internet Champion and even held gold with that... Amazon Cunt. Point, I'm making is Austin is a far superior competitor to me than Miles Kasey is. But even when that's the case. Austin still doesn't have it in him to go the distance and take this from me.
His hand patted that gold plated championship. Making sure he sent the message loud and clear with just the simplest of gestures.
Michael Harris: How can someone like Austin Mercer dethrone me? The man won't even admit that he targeted me to kick this whole thing off. He wants to sit there and lie. Sit there and hide behind this bullshit story. Sit there and paint a narrative that I'm the one that just couldn't let my ego walk away. You goddamn right my ego isn't going to let me walk away when you kicked me in my face! And you know damn well you did it on purpose. If you don't have the balls to admit that, then you don't have the balls to go the distance with me and to dethrone me as champion. Not to mention, this man is out here having that Amazon broad fight his battles for him. What kind of man hides behind a woman? What kind of man lets his woman do all his bidding? What kind of man sits there and lets her do all the work just to pick apart the scraps?! That's what he was trying to do with me weeks ago!
Again those words were not doing him any favors. In fact it had really set the crowd off and for rather obvious reasons.
Simone: Is he serious right now?
Adams: As serious as that receding hairline he's got going on.
Simone: No one in the history of this company has hidden behind a woman more than he has. He's yet to win a single match without them being involved and doing something shady!
Adams: He's the one that's picked the bones of what's left. But that ego of his is never going to allow him to own up to any of that!
Back inside the ring, Harris had begun to lean against the ropes looking right at the cameras before him. Bringing the microphone back to his lips.
Michael Harris: And don't think I'm too clueless. I've heard all the little rumors and little rumblings that the two of them could form an alliance to get me out of the equation. They could double team me and do their worst. Which to be honest, that's about the only chance either one of them would have in walking out the champion. Not just that, but it's also something I expect. I mean, they'd be idiots not to work together especially when it's clear that in any one on one setting. They couldn't hold their own against me. But ultimately in the end. One of their egos is going to flare up. One of them is going to feel some type of way. One of them is going to go against the plan and when they do the plan will fall apart. That's when it all becomes easy for me. The first sign of weakness. The first mistake they make. The first opportunity they give me. I'm going to do what I do best and be that ultimate opportunist that only I can be. Be the champion that I've proven to be time and time again so far. Live up the hype of the GREATEST EVER. Leading to me taking which one of them makes the mistake and putting them out of their misery in front of a sold out arena.
Harris forced himself off those ropes. His message was loud and clear. It seemed like he was two steps ahead of the two men he'd be sharing the ring with very soon. Now whether or not the image he had foreseen actually happened. That would just have to wait and see if it came about. He turned and looked right back towards the cameras for the final time.
Michael Harris: When that night comes to close at Into The Void. You will hear these two words... AND STILL!
Following that statement, Harris tossed the microphone down into the ring with a loud thud. Then he brought the championship off his shoulder, raising it high into the air as the crowd began to boo heavily. Carmen and Blair found themselves standing on either side of their man. Pointing to him and making sure all eyes were on him. "Enter The Sandman" began to play over the speakers again. Allowing the cameras to get a close up shot of the champion. Suddenly Harris' music cuts off, and he grows angry yelling at the rinside crew for his music being cut off so quickly. Just as it looks like he's about to storm off, Bring Me The Horizon's "Throne" kicks in and Miles Kasey comes out to a huge ovation from the SCW faithful. Miles is dress simply in jeans, t-shirt and a baseball cap, looking like he just walked off the streets. He steps to the front of the stage, holding a microphone in hand and a giant smile on his face as his music fades out.
Miles Kasey: Oh, I'm sorry...were you not through with your verbal masturbation and posturing yet?
To say that Harris was absolutely pissed off...a mild understatement. Kasey raises his hand up, getting literal enjoyment from this little temper-tantrum but he addresses the crowd.
Miles Kasey: Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to apologize to you for forcing you to sit through that whole whatever the hell this was...as we are literally on the precipice of Into The Void, when in two weeks we will be in MY backyard of London. Instead of coming out here and just kicking this raging toss pot in the head, instead I got caught up in the back chatting with the lovely Tempest reminiscing on the time she knocked you, Michael on your arse.
The seething Harris screams out "SHE DID NO SUCH THING!" as Miles has a good laugh as he begins to casually stroll down the ramp.
Miles Kasey: We have the video footage, Michael. Don't try and deny it... Hell, I'm lucky to even be here today as I once upon a time did some serious parkour to escape that woman's rage and all I did was give her a simple little Christmas kiss. BUT, that was water under the bridge and we live in the now. Now I'm not about to sit here and ruffle my feathers like a peacock to show just how pretty I am, I just came out here because somehow, someway, someone had to save the fans here and those watching at home from you.
Miles stops and points for a moment at Harris and suddenly he feels a shift in focus on everyone and doesn't even look behind him.
Miles Kasey: I see you...
And he turns sideways and Miles' attitude immediately shifts from the asshole in the ring to the asshole at the entrance. Austin James Mercer standing, at the entrance area, shirtless and seething. Miles reaches up and pulls the hat off his head and scratches the back of his head, looking rather awkward, like he was caught doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing and yet, just couldn't help himself.
Miles Kasey: You know, I was going to come out here and well, basically tell Harris what he already knows, that he is completely full of shit and that you, and Austin, that if you wanted my attention that badly, all you had to do was ask...but you know what? ...fuck it.
Miles shrugs and drops the microphone, the hat and makes an immediate beeline directly for Austin. Mercer meets him halfway and they begin to throw lefts and rights as the crowd goes insane.
Simone: You KNEW this was bound to happen tonight. Mercer has been baiting Kasey since this whole damn thing began!
Adams: It's about damn time, Miles is done pandering and is going right at the source of his problems.
Austin gets the upper hand in the battle, knocking Miles loopy with a quick european uppercut, sending the Brit stumbling down the aisle for a moment, as Austin stalks him. Meanwhile in the ring, Harris is practically frothing at the mouth watching the two Wolfslair members tear each other apart. We all watch as Austin grips Kasey by the throat and yells something that can't quite be understood before he hooks Miles up and lifts him up in a delayed suplex and holds him up there, letting all the blood rush to Kasey's head.
Simone: That scary strength by Mercer, you gotta think he's out to seriously hurt Miles.
Miles drops a couple of knee thrust onto Mercer's head and manages to escape the suplex, slipping behind Austin and delivers a stiff hook kick to the side of Austin's head, which stumbles the big man down the aisle way a little bit more. Kasey sees this as an opportunity and takes a run towards the ring, jumping up onto the apron and jumps back to hit his Blast from the Past but Austin blocks it by catching Miles from behind and just as it looks like he's about to hit a belly to back suplex, Harris comes flying off the top rope with a flying crossbody and all three hit the concrete floor!
Adams: And there goes the champ, sticking himself into a situation that didn't even concern him.
Simone: You know damn well he couldn't stay out of it. All three of these individuals are bound to rip each other to shreds if someone doesn't get out here and stop this!
Adams: You're right! And it's potentially putting harm into the main event of Into The Void!
Harris is first to his and begins stomping on both wiped out Wolfslair members, swinging wildly at anything moving in his general vicinity. Eventually Harris turns his attention to Mercer who starts to throw punches back at him and eventually they grab each other and deliver a hellacious pair of headbutts sending the other reeling for a moment before they spin around and start beating on one another again.
Simone: The two biggest men in the fight lighting each other up in front of this packed crowd.
Adams: Where the hell did Kasey go?
And as if on cue, both Mercer and Harris look up just in time to see Miles come flying off the top rope with an insane Reverse 450, crashing into both men on the floor below as the crowd absolutely lose their minds at the sight of all three down.
Adams: OK THAT'S IT! WHERE THE HELL IS SECURITY?!?!
Simone: These three are going to kill each other!
Security and a few fellow wrestlers come flowing out from the back as Miles, Austin and Michael all crawl and stand and begin to start swinging at one another once again without a care that security is trying to do what they can to break up the fight. Eventually they get the three tore apart from one another, dragging and screaming obscenities the whole way.
Simone: If this is ANY indication of what we are going to be seeing in London at Into the Void, we are in for one hell of a wild fight.
Adams: And all this before our main event!
There is a death stare with Michael trying to be calmed down by his wives on one side of the ring, Austin being held back by several security members and Miles being pulled back towards the entrance way as we head to a commercial break.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is HARDCORE HELL!
Cheers
Justin: There are no disqualifications, and an individual can win via pinfall, submission or escaping the cage!
Adams: And here we go. I shudder to think what could happen here inside this cage with all these weapons.
Simone: Chairs, bats, trash cans, kendo sticks... the options are endless.
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: 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 slides in between the ropes and waits in her corner for the match to start.
Adams: Kim looks like she's going to either maim Crystal, or at the very least, really enjoy doing it.
Simone: She's waited a long time for this.
The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal's voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.
"Your smile makes my heart explode!"
As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros. The fans boo loudly in return.
Smile Bomb by Caitlyn Myers plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the blue haired "Burning Rose" Crystal Caldwell walks from the curtains. Crystal smiles as she waves her hands to the overly excited crowd. She claps the outstretched hands of the fans. She tosses her hoodie towards Todd as she awaits the start of the match. Todd cheers for his client as she seems to be in a trance.
Adams: Crystal looks a little hesitant, but she is known for mind games, so this could all be a ploy
As Crystal shakes the cage to test it's durability, she smiles and at Kimberly, who is stoic, and staring a hole through Crystal. Crystal tries to enter through the cage door, but Kim is charges and kicks at the door and Crystal, forcing Crystal to back up. Kim points at the ground and motions that this is her style of match and they are playing by her rules. Crystal again tries the door, but Kim is there to block it. She gives Crystal a finger wag and Crystal shrugs and then begins climbing the cage on the outside.
Adams: Well, that's one way in!
Simone: Crystal does know how to make an entrance.
DING DING DING!
Crystal climbs but Kim tries to knock her off. Crystal reaches through the cage and pushes Kim down and to the mat, allowing her the time to climb to the top and scale over. Kim is now standing and draws an imaginary line in the sand and motions for Crystal to come in and fight her. Crystal throws her legs over the top of the cage and is now fully in, climbing down and setting her feet on the ropes. Kim charges but Crystal jumps over her and lands on her feet. She hits the ropes and ducks a Kim clothesline attempt and flies and hits a cross-body taking Kim down! Crystal is right there with mounted punches as Kim gets her hands up to block, and then is able to use her leverage to push Crystal off. Kim is up but meets a Crystal dropkick that sends Kim back down. Crystal is up, playing to the crowd who don't seem to enjoy her antics.
Adams: Ever the showwoman I suppose.
Simone: But she's... taking her sweet time!
However, Crystal's showboating let's Kim get back to her feet and attack Crystal from behind and drop her to the mat. Kim gets a few stomps in as Crystal makes it to the corner and Kim follows her and begins hammering down with right hands and then choking Crystal with her boot in the corner.
Adams: Kim is vicious!
Kim walks over to the side of the cage and pulls off a Kendo stick as Crystal gasps for air trying to recover. Kim walks back over with a wicked grin on her face and wallops Crystal across the back with the kendo stick! The loud, hollow echo going throughout the arena!
Adams: Ow!
Simone: You can hear it, and Crystal feels it!
Kim repeats the action two more times and then begins choking Crystal with the stick itself. Kim pulls back so hard with the choke that the stick ends up snapping! Kim shrugs and continues the assault, stomping Crystal a few more times as Crystal is back in the corner trying to get up. Kim unleashes a chop across the top of Crystal's chest, sending Crystal stumbling out of the corner and towards the ropes. Kim grabs Crystal by the hair and attempts to toss her into the cage wall, but Crystal is able to reverse and send Kim into the cage!
Adams: Desperation move from Crystal!
Simone: She needed that.
Crystal is trying to clear the cobwebs as Kim is also smarting from hitting the cage. Crystal is able to get up, still clutching her throat, but stomps on Kim a few times before positioning her and dropping an elbow. Crystal makes the cover.
ONE!
Kickout.
Adams: Kim kicks out with authority!
Crystal shakes her head and then mounts Kim again, throwing down some punches to keep Kim stunned. Crystal stands and goes over to the cage wall and pulls off a steel chair. She holds it up and walks over to Kim, who rolls out of the way as Crystal swings the chair at her. Kim rolls back and kicks Crystal in the head to stun her, knocking her down, still with the chair in her hand. Kim is back up and she grabs the top edge of the chair, trying to pull it away. The tug of war begins and Crystal rams the edge of the chair into the mid-section of Kim. Kim doubles over and Crystal gets back up and wallops Kim across the back with the chair!
Adams: And now Kim is feeling that!
Simone: Kim's back has to be killing her!
Kim clutches her back and stumbles face-first into the corner, leaving her back wide open and Crystal takes full advantage of it and nails Kim again! Crystal sets the chair down and pulls Kim into position and hits a back suplex onto the chair!
Adams: Crystal is targeting the back.
Kim rolls around in pain as Crystal tries for another cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Adams: And again Kim kicks out!
Simone: But her back has to be screaming!
Crystal seems a little frustrated and stands up, looking for more weapons to use. Kim clutches at her back, crawling to the corner to create some distance as Crystal pulls a trash can off the cage wall. Kim is able to stand in the corner, and then see Crystal charging with the trash can, and is able to boot it back in Crystal's face!
Adams: And Kim is back in the fight!
Crystal is down and Kim is still holding her back but grabs a nightstick off the cage wall and waits for Crystal to get up. Crystal is able to stand and then takes the nightstick to the mid-section and then across the back!
Adams: Kim is now in firm control
Simone: And this could be bad for Crystal.
Kim then drags Crystal to the corner and slings Crystal's arms over the ropes to hold her place, and then takes a few more free shots to Crystal's toned mid-section! Crystal howls in pain as Kim again flashes the wicked grin, now seemingly enjoying herself inside the cage.
Adams: And now this could be getting ugly.
Kim looks at the nightstick and decides that's not really what she wants to use, and then grabs a couple more kendo sticks off the cage. She sets one down, and then begins unloading on Crystal again with the stick, the loud echo again going off. Crystal crumbles after a few seconds, holding her ribs and stomach in pain. Kim pulls her to the center of the ring and continues beating Crystal with the kendo sticks as Crystal lays there in a heap.
Adams: Crystal is being tortured!
Simone: And this may be just the beginning!
Kim is very pleased with herself as she then eyes the chair lying in the ring. She positions it and grabs a nearly defenseless Crystal and pulls her to her feet. She hooks Crystal's head, preparing for a DDT, but Crystal twists out, and hits a Russian leg sweep out of nowhere and Kim is driven back-first into the chair!
Adams: Somehow Crystal is able to counter!
Both women are down and hurting severely. Crystal is barely moving and Kim is writhing in pain on the mat. Crystal crawls to the ropes and uses them to pull herself up. Deciding she's had enough of this, she begins to climb out of the cage.
Adams: Crystal's trying to escape!
Crystal makes it up halfway, laboring from her injuries. Kim is slowly able to get up and Crystal gets one leg over the top. Kim lunges and catches Crystals other foot. She climbs up as Crystal tries to fight her off. Kim is able to get even with Crystal and the top slug it out on top of the cage!
Adams: They're on top! It's anyone's ball game!
Simone: One false step and it's a long way down either way!
Kim rocks Crystal with a headbutt to stun, but slips and falls down a small amount. She repositions herself and hooks Crystals head and arm, and kicks off the cage driving both women to mat with a SUPERPLEX!
Adams: SUPERPLEX!
Simone: That had to kill both Crystal's ribs and Kim's back!
Both women are down and in a tremendous amount of pain. Suddenly from nowhere, a masked woman sprints down the aisle!
Adams: Who the?
The masked woman enters the cage and shoves Drew Patton aside and reaches into her attire and pulls out handcuffs!
Adams: Who is this woman?!
Simone: More importantly, why does she have handcuffs and... what's she going to do with them?
The masked woman measures up her target as both women stir, trying to get up, Kim is able to get up first, but the masked woman nails her with the cuffs!
Adams: What the hell?!
Dragging Kim to the ropes, the masked woman handcuffs her to the cage! Dusting her hands off, the mysterious woman exits the cage, and Kim is now stuck, and unable to stop Crystal, who is crawling towards the door, having not seen the masked woman's interference. Kim is trying to break the cuffs to no avail, and Crystal is able to slide out of the door and the bell rings!
Adams: And Crystal is able to escape!
Simone: Thanks to whoever that masked woman was!
Justin: Here is your winner: CRYSTAL CALDWELL!
Kim is beside herself trying to free herself from the cuffs and Crystal is on the floor with her hand raised, but she needs help to even stand. Medical staff arrive to tend to both women.
Adams: It's a shame that such a brutal match was ruined!
Simone: Who was that masked women and why did she attack Kim? Was Crystal even involved?
Adams: So many questions...
Simone: But we'd have to wait for those because that's all we have time for. Join us in two weeks time for Into The Void XII! For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everybody!
THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for us!
