Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
The opening shot is that of the capacity crowd on hand at Primm, Nevada's Star of the Desert Arena. The SCW Universe - fans of all ages, young and old, are on their feet, cheering as the cameras sweep across the panning shots! Many fans have signs to support their very favorites.
The camera then changes shots to inside of the six-sided ring where stands none other than ring announcer, Justin Decent. He is clad in a black, sleeveless vest, matching lycra pants and white boots. Raising the microphone, he speaks...
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to Primm, Nevada's Star of the Desert Arena! And welcome to Sin City Wrestling 'Climax Control'!
The SCW Universe cheers heartily!
Justin: Now, please welcome to the stage our very special guests... world renowned gospel artists the Clark Sisters! ... And SCW's own Hostess With the Mostess -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The fans cheer and applaud as the Clark Sisters quarter stand onstage with smiles, waving politely. Front and center is Amanda dressed up like Tammy Faye Baker with beehive wig, lots of makeup and a bubblegum pink wig. The organ music begins to play and the Clark Sisters vocalize for Amanda as the performance begins...
Amanda: Oh please gather round me brethren and listen to this hymn
'Bout how evil battles hurt you and the fight to sink or swim
There's a lost sheep that I know of
Caught in Satan's web of sin
And I sing for the forgiveness of the evil plight she's in
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher,
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer!
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
Is her delight, they say,
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan,
There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man!
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
In old Savannah, I said Savannah,
The weather there is nice and warm!
The climate's of a Southern brand,
But here's what I don't understand:
They got a gal there, a pretty gal there,
Who's colder than an Arctic storm,
She's got a heart just like a stone,
Even ice men leave her alone!
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
She's so cold; never let her phone you
From her breathe a man can get pneumonia
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
Is her delight, they say,
If you sit upon her lap, you'll never do it twice
'Cause it's just the same as sitting on a cake of ice
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
You ought to see her, you ought to see her,
outside, she's just as soft as silk;
But socially she's hard as nails,
She's just a gal who hates the males!
And when she's nasty,oh, when she's nasty,
She's 'bout as sweet as sour milk;
Nothin' she likes better than feedin' poisoned food to a man.
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,
The meanest gal in town;
Talk about your cold, refrigeratin' mama,
Brother, she's a polar bear's pajamas!
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
Is her delight, they say,
An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees,
Is like travlin' through Alaska in your B - V - Ds.
She's just Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah?
She's got the right name, the vamp of Savannah
Any time a woman can take a great big pan
Start pouring water on a drowning man
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!
The crowd cheers and laughs as the smiling Clark sisters bow politely and wave as Amanda turns to the four ladies and gives them the "we're not worthy" bow before turning back to the fans to blow a kiss as the camera goes ringside with Belinda Simone and Jason Adams!
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome once again to Primm, Nevada for Sin City Wrestling Climax Control! I am Belinda Simone!
Adams: And I am so excited Bel!
Simone: You're also Jason Adams.
Adams: I am? Oh I mean - I am! I knew that!
Simone: But one can be forgiven for showing their excitement. We are just one step closer to the final Supercard of 2023 - December 2 Dismember V and tonight, we get the first announcements for the lineup of that historic event!
Adams: And tonight we start things off with a funeral service for Kandi Kane as she goes up against Georgie Robertson!
Simone: Following that, Bea Barnhart is back in action, going up against the ever dangerous Kat Jones!
Adams: Then we have a Roulette Division matchup between Rodrigo Afonso and 'Unbreakable' Eddie Lyons!
Simone: The rookie Harper Mason is facing yet another veteran of the six-sided ring, this time it being 'the Great One' of the Bombshell division - Mercedes Vargas!
Adams: We heard rumors that Alexander Raven is being looked at as a challenger for J2H since he was the first runner up in the Six Pack match! Tonight he faces the newcomer Iconic Dubois! … Did I say that right?
Simone: We have two top Bombshells clash in singles competition when Bobbie Dahl faces Seleana Zdunich! All this and more on Climax Control!
Adams: And in the Main Event, we have a special added attraction! Ariana Angelos defends her Internet Championship against Tempest!
Simone: All this and more on Climax Control!
LIVE! December 17, 2023!
From Tucson, Arizona's TCC Arena!
It's....!
Adams: Up next, we have for you all...
Suddenly, Adams is interrupted, as "This Time It's Different" by Evan Blue suddenly begins to play. The Tron video for Peter Vaughn appears, looking down on everyone, as the crowd immediately turns that way. Some are cheering, while others are letting loose their negativity, showing that Vaughn's popularity is fairly split in Sin City.
Simone: What is Vaughn doing out there? We don't have anything scheduled for him tonight...
Adams: I suppose he decided to make himself known, Simone, and as a member of the Saviors, you have to expect him to do whatever he wants at any time.
Vaughn stops on the stage, allowing us to take in the custom-made tuxedo-style coveralls he's wearing. The Mechanic releases the strap from around his waist, lifting up the SCW Roulette Championship above his head. All around him, fireworks and sparklers go off, in a huge display that causes many fans to reel backwards. The cheers, however, become stronger, as everyone loves a good fireworks display. Through it all, Vaughn stands there, keeping the treasured title above his head.
Adams: Last week, Vaughn got another major victory, surviving a Triple Threat match against Bill Barnhart and Jack Washington, two of the most respected names in SCW right now.
Simone: Love him or hate him, you have to respect his survivability. The guy would probably be there with the cockroaches after a nuclear holocaust.
As the fireworks die down, Vaughn finally lowers his arms, putting the championship on his shoulder. He then pulls out a mic, tapping it to make sure it's working before bringing it up to speak into it.
Peter Vaughn: Hello, Sin City!!
The cheers and boos are again mixed, not that Vaughn ever notices. All he ever hears is the excitement and energy the fans bring towards him, good or bad.
Peter Vaughn: I want to thank you all for being here on such a historic night. You see, I won this Roulette Championship back in May 2023, a time that feels like ages ago now. It was a victory secured in a Ladder match back at Into The Void. Nobody ever predicted that yours truly would continue with the belt. Some assumed that I was just an outsider, and would leave Sin City once a month or two went by. Others thought that I was misusing the championship, denying others from the opportunities that it offered. But since that time... no one has been able to take it away from me.
Vaughn pats the championship on his shoulder, before looking backwards at the Tron. Pictures begin to show up, in each corner of the screen, detailing Vaughn's journey in SCW. We see the bout with Bill Barnhart & Malachi, where Vaughn secured the championship for the first time. A shot flashes up of Vaughn hanging from above the Ultimate X, during his battle with Miles Kasey and The Troll at Summer XXXtreme XI. Vaughn's battles in a Stretcher match, a Knockouts match, and a Bar Brawl are all shown as well. Finally, we see the Briefcase Bonanza match, with Vaughn opening his briefcase to display his championship still at hand. We go back to Vaughn, who is smiling up at the screen.
Peter Vaughn: A lot has changed in my life over the past six months. I'm engaged now. I've taken my ranch to new heights, and traveled the world alongside you wrestling fans as I've continued to compete with my full power here in Sin Cty. And tonight, it all becomes worth it. Tonight... is 190 days.
The screen behind Vaughn flashes, showing the large number "190" blinking rapidly on the screen before locking down.
Peter Vaughn: I have now, as of tonight, held this championship for 190 days, the same amount as a great wrestler, Griffin Hawkins, once did. Some might say that the most noble thing I could do at this point is to vacate this championship now, tying Hawkins and leaving the record where it is.
There are a few chants for this idea. Vaughn looks down at his championship belt, as if considering it for a moment, before shaking his head.
Peter Vaughn: But I have put too much work, too much blood, sweat, & tears, into this championship to simply toss it aside as if it was worthless. I have taken the Roulette Title to new heights, making it one of the most desired belts in the company. I refuse to just let that hard work go to waste.
After a moment, Vaughn smiles, looking over towards the camera.
Peter Vaughn: That's why I'm going to work to find someone worthy. Someone who deserves to carry on this championship's tradition. I want to find someone that will keep the high standards of the Roulette Division where they belong. I'll be keeping my eyes on several competitors tonight, seeing what they bring to the table. And as my reign continues, I'll find that individual to take up where I've left off. Until then, though... I remain your reigning, defending, undisputed SCW Roulette Champion!
Vaughn raises up the championship again, still smiling at the thought of achieving his long-time goal.
Peter Vaughn: Thank you again for joining me on this special occasion. Now, back to some god-damn good wrestling, boyos!
With that, Vaughn's music begins playing again, as he takes a step back, keeping the championship in the air.
Adams: Vaughn has truly been the unslayable monster at the top of the Roulette Division. Who can he find who can have the run he's had?
Simone: I'm sure several wrestlers will be lining up for the opportunity.
Adams: No doubt. There are still plenty of people out there dreaming about dethroning The Mechanic.
As Vaughn departs, the fireworks go off one more time, really for no reason other than to give Vaughn another rush. He shows off the championship one more time before departing.
Simone: Welcome to Climax Control and up next we have our opening contest! Georgie Robertson came up short against Alexandra Callaway alongside Bea Barnhart in the Bombshell Roulette Title Match at High Stakes but tonight both women get a chance to bounce back! We'll see Bea take on Kat Jones later in the program but first Georgie will take on a relative newcomer to SCW in former SCU Wrestler Kandy Kane!
Adams: Georgie has had quite the year but she seeks to end 2023 with her first title, as for Kandy? We saw her ally Matty Mallow get the win in his debut last week against Justin Smith and whilst there seems to be some animosity between those two men? Kendy Kane seems to be the most positive force the Bombshell Division has seen since the days of the similarly named Candy!
Simone: Two women with a lot to prove in this match, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS YOUR OPENING CONTEST OF THE EVENING SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
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 ring stairs 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: Introducing first, 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 proven herself to be a tenacious Bombshell in the short time that she has been with the company but she's yet to pick up a win in big matches, her challenge for the Bombshell Roulette Championship at High Stakes being a prime example of this.
Adams: Sometimes it takes time for a young talent to find their feet, and Georgie's the third youngest Bombshell on the roster behind Ariana Angelos and Harper Mason.
Justin: And her opponent!
"Candy" by Far East Movement begins playing over the speakers as brightly coloured lights of all shades flash across the stage. Kandy Kaine comes out onto the stage, and she lets out a squeal as she jumps up and down as the fans cheer for her. She dances from one side of the stage to the other before working up as she stands centre stage.
Justin: On her way to the ring, from the Kandy Kingdom, standing at 5'4" and weighing in at 122lb, making her SCW debut she is... Kandy Kaine!!!
Kandy squeals again, hearing her name. She charges down the ramp, slapping hands on one side before moving over to the next side. She then dashes under the bottom rope, jumping up and down for the fans.
Simone: Kandy's bubbly demeaner does well to hide the fact that she was a two time champion in SCU, she held the Pride Tag Team Titles and Hardcore Tag Team Titles with Jerry Cann though she seems to be going it alone this time.
Adams: She knows what it takes to win titles, she could be a threat to Alexandra, Ariana or even Julianna if they underestimate her!
Drew tries to call the two women to the middle of the ring to go over the rules with them, however Georgie has clearly been in a bad mood all day and the perpetually cheerful Kandy has not helped in the slightest eventually resulting in the British Bombshell bull rushing the (relative) newcomer and taking her down with a clothesline prompting Drew to call for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Wow, what's gotten into Georgie?
Adams: My guess? Her frustration over losing another title match has been boiling over the past few weeks and she's taking it out on Kandy!
Drew tries to restore some order but Georgie isn't listening as the Brit continues to stomp away at Kandy despite the harsh words from the ref, eventually Drew is forced to pull Georgie away from Kandy to give the former SCU Star a chance to recover and Georgie seemingly complies, only to charge in and hit Kandy with a German Suplex as soon as she's back on her feet! Georgie bridges for the first pin of the night.
ONE!
TWO!
And Kandy kicks out.
Simone: Nice Bridge on that German Suplex from Georgie but Kendy was still able to kick out.
Adams: Kandy may be new to SCW but she's been around, Georgie's going to need more than a clothesline, a few stomps and a German Suplex to keep her down for the three!
Georgie releases the bridge and grunts in frustration that her bullrush tactics aren't working on the newest member of the Bombshell Roster, but she quickly regains her footing and tries to regain the advantage on Kandy but this time? Kandy is ready for her hitting the youngster with a Dropkick that sends the Brit to the outside! Georgie is getting more and more frustrated by the second as she pounds the matt on the ringside area whilst Kandi starts measuring her opponent up.
Simone: I think we're about to see Kandy take flight!
Adams: Georgie landed right in front of us so I hope Kandy connects, otherwise she'll end up in our laps!
After spending a bit of time hyping up the crowd Kandy goes for her dive but Georgie has it scouted ducking out of the way at the last second and sending Kandy crashing into the announcer's table! The failed dive has seemingly knocked the wind out of Kandy and Georgie takes advantage, first by ramming the newcomer's head into the announcer's desk and then ramming her back first into the ring apron! Georgie then throws Kandy back the ring and follows her in (breaking Drew's count at five) and Georgie quickly goes for another pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Kandy kicks out! Georgie yells out in frustration before waiting for Kandy to get back to her feet and when she does Georgie locks in her Octopus Hold.
Simone: I think Kandy is being a lot more tenacious than Georgie expected.
Adams: Which is funny when you remember that Georgie is one of the Bombshell Roster's most tenacious Bombshells! And that Octopus Hold might just do the trick for Georgie tonight!
Drew gets into position to ask Kandy if she wants to submit but Kandy isn't so willing to give up the fight this early in the match or her SCW Career! Georgie tries to crank up the pressure on the hold but soon finds it turned against her when Kandy drops her with a modified Samoan Drop! Kandy quickly floats over into the first pin of her SCW Career!
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie gets the shoulder up! But unlike the last time the newcomer managed to get the upper hand on Georgie? Kandy's able to make the most of it hitting Georgie with dropkicks and arm drags every time the Brit tries to get back in the match and after a few minutes Georgie retreats to the outside to try to put a stop to Kandy's momentum.
Simone: Did Georgie learn nothing from the first time she retreated to the outside?
Adams: To be fair, she was sent to the outside by Kandy's dropkick last time, this time? She's retreating by her own free will!
And much like the last time Georgie retreated to the ringside area Kandy goes for a dive to the outside and this one connects flooring the young Brit in the process! Kandy takes a bit too long to pose for the fans though because Georgie clobbers her in the back before throwing her into the ring and following her back in! Once both bombshells are back in the ring Georgie goes for a clothesline on Kandy but the attempt gets Matrix Dodged by Kandy who then hits a Tornado DDT when she's back in a standing position! Kandy goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Georgie kicks out! Both women are slow to get to their feet but when they do Kandy grabs Georgie to whip her into a corner only to get it reversed and land chest first against the turnbuckle, sensing an opportunity to end it Georgie calls for her finisher.
Simone: Georgie's calling for the One And Done!
Adams: That move has backfired on her several times but maybe she'll hit it tonight and win?
Georgie charges into the corner but as it turns out? Kandy was playing possum as she leaps onto the apron at the last minute causing Georgie to bang her knee against the middle turnbuckle, this causes Georgie some amount of pain as she hobbles to her feet but Kandy follows that up with a Missile Dropkick before heading back to the top rope and hitting Georgie with a Five Star Frog Splash followed by Standing Senton Splash and finally a Standing Moonsault.
Simone: Kandy calls that the Kandy Krush Saga! No, I'm not kidding!
Adams: Could've sworn I was playing that game a few years ago! Err, I mean stick a fork in Georgie she's done!
Kandy goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Kandy Kaine!
Simone: Kandy Kaine gets the win in her debut match and in impressive fashion.
Adams: And for the second show in a row it's back to the drawing board for Georgie!
Kandy celebrates her win whilst Drew checks on Georgie.
Once again, Julianna DiMaria is in her own locker room with the SCW Bombshells World Championship but this time, there IS more of a festive mood. The place is littered with balloons, streamers, party favors and even some food in the background. As she holds the championship over her shoulder, Julianna herself is definitely beaming with pride. She's even wearing a "Jules In Six" t-shirt in reference to how many matches it took her to win the title to begin with. She knows that the camera is on her and she's relishing every moment of it as she begins to speak her mind.
Julianna: This is a week later than I wanted it to be, but it's happening! I know people are going to want to throw asterisks on what happened last week. It's too damn bad that someone that had no business being involved decided to get involved but I'm going to use the same logic that I used before: I would've won anyway. I believe that in my heart of hearts and if you want to downplay that, watch that match at High Stakes and you tell me that the outcome would've been different last week. This is no fluke! I came here for the long haul. I've been saying that I wasn't going to go away. I'm not going to make any guarantees of a year long title reign or anything like that, but if anything, I have proven that I am no flash in the pan. Let me remind you that it only took me SIX matches to win the SCW Bombshells World Championship! It… only… took… SIX MATCHES! Now, I don't know who keeps stats and records around here all that well, but I bet, if it's not the fastest anyone has won this title… it's definitely up there!
Julianna is about to say more, but with Ms. Rocky Mountains suddenly intruding, Julianna looks more annoyed than anything.
Julianna: Okay, what are you doing here? It's like you missed the point of me having this celebration HERE and not out there in the ring. I wasn't going to share MY moment with THOSE people out there and I sure as hell wasn't going to give someone like YOU any room to interrupt yet… here we are anyway.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: It's kind of normal to have a champion's interview wouldn't you think?
Julianna sighs and rolls her eyes.
Julianna: FINE! Fine… but you're not allowed to have any of the food I have catered in and I already addressed last week's situation so save your breath on asking any questions about that. Also, make it quick. I really need to get back to my own celebration here.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Winning the title in just six matches is damn impressive…
Julianna: You bet it is.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Yet, it didn't come without criticism or hate from anyone else on the roster. You do remember when Keira was referring to you as a weakling, right?
Julianna: I'm STILL waiting for my apology on that by the way. But, a comment like that is a microcosm of what could very well be jealousy among the Bombshells locker room. Look around! You've got hanger ons like Sam Marlowe, Mercedes Vargas and Seleana Zdunich that are still here trying to reclaim the glory days but not even coming close. You had hall of fame members like Jessie Salco that NEVER won the big one. I can understand why some people would be bitter or jealous of me. For instance, I did in six matches what someone like Jessie Salco never did in more than a decade.. If I were her, I'd be bitter and jealous too, you know? I've heard all the name calling toward me. I've heard the terms 'nobody' being used toward me. It's really a bunch of petty, high school nonsense, you know? Green isn't a good color for those that clearly wear it. This nonsense comes from people that either don't like me because I go against the grain or that don't like me because someone in their little friends club isn't the champion right now.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: How in the world are you able to maintain all of this poise throughout your short time here? As you know, the journey gets harder… not easier… from here with the target squarely on your back.
Julianna: Unlike most first time Bombshell World Champions, I've been a world champion prior to coming here so experience helps. But, I knew coming in that this Bombshells locker room was pretty cutthroat. I knew that I was going to be dealing with people saying this about me or that about me… trying to bring me down with empty words, trying to prick and prod at any little dirt that they can find on me to try to make their case for why they're better than me and I've heard it all before, honestly. But really, bitches be intimidated even if they're not showing it. They know deep down that I'm the most dominant bombshell to come into this company in a while, so all they can do is hate.
Oh I didn't go to GO Gym so I don't deserve this title, right? Fuck out of here.
Oh I'm not a product of Hero Academy so fuck me right? No, fuck off!
Oh I didn't wrestle in Sin City Underground, so that means I don't deserve to be here right? Yeah, fuck that.
I'm not cut from the same cloth as most of these bitches, okay? I didn't come from the same robot factory like a lot of them did and that's a truth that is going to get under people's skin but I really don't give a fuck! I don't represent all these cliques from all these wrestling schools that people love to brag about.
I represent ME…
And if they don't like it? They know where to find me because I'm NOT going ANYWHERE… and this title? It's not going anywhere anytime soon!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Who do you think…
Julianna: Let me get back to my celebration… THANK YOU! Fuck off….
Ms. Rocky Mountains looks a little miffed that she was interrupted but nevertheless she swallows her pride and leaves. Julianna goes to a catering table and eats a cupcake from one of the plates, clearly enjoying her moment as the scene ends.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the Bombshell Internet Champion Ariana Angelos arriving at the arena with the title around her waist and a duffel bag over her shoulder.
Ariana: One thing has been plaguing my mind all week, who will be my first challenger?
Ariana asks as she unstraps her title from around her waist (revealing that she is wearing a crop top) and resting the title over her shoulder.
Ariana: And I'll admit, I've been eager for my first defence since I won this title, I even offered to put this on the line against Seleana after Roxi pulled out of her match with the Swede.
Ariana says as she shakes her head.
Ariana: I off course didn't know that Bobbie had already laid claim to being Seleana's replacement opponent until after I made that tweet, but it does beg the question: who will be my first challenger? Luna in a return match? Someone I've never faced like Bella? An old foe like Kayla? Or hell, will Courtney decide to try for a second singles title now that she's had a taste of karma?
Ariana's mood darkens as she flips some hair over her shoulder.
Ariana: I don't care what anyone says, my actions last week were nothing short of justice being served on a silver platter to that spoiled bitch! And if she does come after me for revenge? And the title or that matter?
Ariana grins as she looks at her title.
Ariana: Then she will bask in the glory of the Golden Angel's light! And to whoever my first challenger is? Good luck taking this title from me, I will not give up this title without a fight!
Ariana walks off as the scene fades.
We cut backstage where a roving camera person has arrived at the dressing room of Bea Barnhart. They knock on the dressing room door and Bea opens the door. She wasn't expecting a camera person to show up but she invites them into her dressing room so she can present comments for her match against Kat Jones. When the camera person enters the dressing room they pan around the room and we get a shot of Bea's husband, who is also a wrestler in Sin City Wrestling, sitting on the couch. This should not come as a surprise to the viewers since Bill previously mentioned that he was going to be at Climax Control 377 to support Bea in her match and to ensure there is no interference in the match by people associated with Kat Jones. Bea walks to the couch where Bill is located and she sits next to him.
Bea: So nice to have a camera person come to my dressing room to get my comments for my match against Kat Jones.
Bill: Just to make sure everyone understands why I am here at this event when I am not scheduled to participate in a match the answer is clear. Our previous wrestling event, where I was assigned to the Triple Threat Roulette Championship Match, is close to the location of this current event, so of course I traveled with my wife, Bea, to watch her take on, and defeat, Kat Jones. And if anyone has the idea that I'm at this location to interfere in Bea's match to help her obtain her win over Kat then you are stupid and moronic. Knowing how many times Kat has either entertained in Bea's matches, or she paid other people to interfere in Bea's matches, there is a 90 percent chance that Kat will do so again. I am here to prevent her paid-for interference to cheat Bea out of a win. . .I am not here to interfere in the match.
Bea: Kat you may have a win over me but you are not getting a win over me in this match. When I step into the ring I will hit you so quickly that even the quickness of a lightning strike will pale in comparison to my quickness. Hope you have your medical insurance policy paid up-to-date because you will damn sure need to cash in on your medical coverage when I get done with you.
Bill: You will do great in your match Bea.
Bea: I know I will.
Bea informs the camera person she needs to get to the staging area to be ready to make her entrance for her match. The camera person thanks Bea for allowing them to broadcast her per-match comments then they back out of her dressing room and once they are backed into the hallway they cut their camera feed.
Justin gets to his feet and climbs the ringstairs to slide into the ring. He puts the microphone to his lips to make the introductions for the next match.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…Introducing first…
Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar starts to play and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. She is dressed in black leather pants, a white pullover type tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket, which is basically a tough street girl look. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into the corner then after playing the crowd she jumps down and settles into the corner to wait for the match to start.
Justin: From Lawrenceville Georgia, she is Bea Barnhart!
"Release me" The two words from the Public Address system in the arena cause the fans in attendance, already on their feet, to react with disdain and unappreciative shouts. Kat Jones,, badass Cincinnati native of ill repute methodically makes her way to the top of the ramp from the gorilla position. Her black shorts and knee high boots are more characterizing of her facial expression and attitude toward the scathing crowd, than her highly decorative top full of self expression.
Adams: Bea looks ready for this match tonight Belinda. But those words and the person walking down the aisle is another thing.
Justin: And her opponent…
Simone: But is she ready for this woman?
Justin: Making her way to the ring, hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, standing five feet, eight inches tall and weighing in at one hundred twenty eight pounds, she is the "WildKat"... KAT JJOONNEESS!!
Kat walks toward the ring, methodically and without much concern at all, regarding the insults and jeers thrown in her direction. Standing before the ring apron, Kat removes her black leather jacket, whips it behind her, releasing it and allowing it to sail toward the ramp, ultimately letting out a bloodcurdling scream, before she enters the ring.
Simone: Kat Jones is a wily veteran and so is Bea…I can't wait for this match to start Jason.
Adams: Either way, we are about to find out because there is the bell.
DING DING DING!
Drew Patton motions for both women to move to the center of the ring where she tells them to keep it clean then signals for the match to start. Bea begins to circle Kat who stands very still watching as the other bombshell lunges towards her in an attempted clothesline Kat ducks as she runs towards the opposite ropes and then comes off with her own clothesline. Barnhart catches the arm across her chest that takes her to the mat. Kat looks down at Bea the ropes before rushing them again. Bea rolls over and throws herself to the mat in front of Kat forcing her to leap over Bea. Rebounding off the opposite ropes, Kat is taken over by Bea who uses an arm drag. Laying on the mat as Bea hasn't released the arm, Kat fights to her feet and then is grabbed by her hair as Bea pulls her backward into the corner by her hair and arm. Drew is warning Bea who lets go of the hair of Kat before using a knee shot into the midsection that doubles Kat over. Bea backs away holding her arms up as Drew checks on Kat. Pushing past Patton, Kat charges towards Bea and uses a clothesline to the back of the head to drop Bea to the mat again. Mounting Barnhart who is on her stomach, Kat uses punches to the back of the head of Bea to punish her. Drew warns Kat to open her hands and then tells her to release Bea.
Adams: So far in this match we see that Bea and Kat aren't afraid to mix it up. And that both women aren't afraid of each other.
Kat slowly rises and nods to Patton who checks on Bea. Barnhart glares up at Kat as she gets to her feet. The two women begin to circle before locking up in a collar and elbow that Kat turns into a headlock but Bea moves through the hold, reversing it into a hammerlock that she leverages to once more push Kat into the corner. Quickly, Bea pushes away from Kat who charges out of the corner and into a roundhouse kick from Barnhart that sends her crashing to the mat. Before Bea can follow up, Kat rolls to the ropes and reaches up to pull herself to her feet with the middle rope. Bea moves towards her and then grabs her arm to whip her across the ring. Kat rebounds off the ropes into another kick to the head. With Kat on the mat, Bea drops for the first pin of the match. Kat kicks out at one and as Bea argues with Drew, Kat rolls to the outside. Bea gets to her feet and then moves towards the ropes after Kat who has started to climb on the apron. Grabbing Kat by the hair, Bea prepares to bring her back into the ring. Kat turns enough to grab the back of Bea's head and then lets herself drop on the outside which hangs Barnhart over the top rope which slingshots the woman into the ring where she lays on the mat clutching at her throat.
Simone: Bea was in control of the match until Jones clotheslined her with the ropes from the outside. What is she going to do now?
Kat crawls into the ring under the bottom rope and stalks towards Bea who is slowly making her way to her hands and knees. Seeing Jones, Bea quickly crawls to the ropes and slides between the top and middle ropes where she tells Drew to keep Kat back. Drew gets between the two and prevents Kat from taking advantage of Bea who uses the time to recover. Patton turns to Bea and tells her to get back into the match. Bea comes back into the ring but Kat charges towards her forcing her to once more use the ropes to prevent Jones from grabbing her and slowing the match down once more. Patton warns Kat off and then begins his five count on Bea who comes back into the ring and then waves Drew and Jones back so she can come out of the corner. Kat charges in and is surprised by Bea who moves. Turning, Kat is kicked into the corner. Bea moves in and then catches the head of Jones to send her to the mat with a bulldog. Smirking at the crowd, Bea leans back in a lazy pin that only gets a one count. Kat catches the back of Bea's head with a knee that sends her clutching her head as she kicks at the mat. Jones rolls to her hands and knees before catching Bea and rolling her into a pin that only gets a one count as Bea rolls her shoulder up.
Adams: Both women going to pins in the match Belinda but neither woman wants to be the one pinned.
Simone: I don't think that Bea is taking Kat as seriously as Kat is taking this match. I am sure that she is going to need to after that pin attempt.
Kat makes her way to her feet and then leans back into the corner where she watches as Bea is checked on by Drew. Jones moves out of the corner and towards Bea who sees her coming and rolls to the ropes and then to the outside. Kat makes her way to the ropes where Bea grabs her feet and tries to pull her down. Jones grabs the ropes and is able to remain vertical as she pulls a leg away and stomps on the hand that still is holding her other leg. Bea pulls that arm against her body in pain as Kat leans through the ropes and catches Bea by the hair to pull her into the ring. Jones has her pulled through the ropes and with Bea's feet still caught on the ropes, Kat hits a ddt on Barnhart. Bea is laid out on the mat and Kat rolls her over for the pin. Drew drops to the mat and sees the foot of Barnhart still under the ropes and tells Kat who is screaming at him to make the count. Looking at the foot of Bea, Kat pulls the leg into the ring and rolls her up once more but Bea has recovered enough to grab the rope forcing the break. Kat angrily sits back on her heels as Bea pulls herself away by the ropes and then works her way to her feet. Jones gets to her feet once more as Patton motions for both women to continue the match.
Simone: Bea Barnhart was very lucky being so close to the ropes Jason otherwise this match might have been over right there.
Kat moves towards Bea who ducks under a clothesline attempt from Jones and catches her with an atomic drop that sends her against the ropes. Bea follows her with a clothesline as Kat rebounds off the ropes. Jones rolls on the mat and then kicks out at the midsection of Bea who is doubled over in pain. Kat gets to her hands and knees leveling Bea with an uppercut that staggers her back. Once Jones is back to her feet, she uses punches and kicks to the corner. Backing away from Bea who is hanging on the ropes, Kat doesn't see Bea launch herself at Kat to lock in a sleeper.
Simone: What a series of kicks to the head of Bea Barnhart. I didn't think that she would recover from that too soon but she has the ring presence to lock in a sleeper.
Bea has the sleeper locked on as Kat's arms windmill trying to reach out for the ropes. Kat fights her off by desperately staggering back into the corner. Bea releases the hold then pulls herself up on the ropes as Kat staggers forward trying to catch her breath. Launching herself off the middle rope, Bea drops Kat with a dropkick Getting to her feet, she picks up Jones and body slams her to the mat before hitting the ropes and landing a leg drop on the prone Kat. Quickly Bea rolls her up for the pin.
ONE!
Adams: I think that she knocked Kat out.
TWO!
Adams: Wait, there is a little movement out of Kat Jones.
Simone: Too little too late Jason!
THREE!
Adams: Bea Barnhart has pinned Kat Jones!
Drew rises and motions for the bell as Justin picks up his microphone.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Bea Barnhart!
Bea celebrates after tossing the legs of Kat to the side and rising to her feet. Drew raises her arm in victory as Kat begins to roll to the ropes.
Adams: What a match Belinda. Bea with a win over Kat Jones.
Simone: Definitely a confidence booster for Bea..
Rolling out of the ring, Kat heads up the ramp as Bea holds her hands in victory again as Hit Me with Your Best Shot blares over the venue.
World Mixed Tag Team Championship - 2/3 Falls
Finn Whelan and Kayla Richards (c) v Oliver Zahn and Eiley
Simone: Climax Control has been going pretty awesome tonight and can things get better?!
Adams: I am sure they can get better we just need to wait and…
I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston begins to blast all across the speakers and as it does we are able to see Ruby Pierce emerging from the curtain. She is clad in a sparkling ruby glow in the dark jacket. The jacket shines brightly and she excitedly sprints to the ring slapping the hands of the roaring fans. She does some cartwheels before finishing up with one massive backflip. She giggles before she slowly slides into the ring. She nips up to her feet and immediately calls for a microphone.
Simone: About that whole getting better comment?!
Adams: My thoughts exactly.
The crowd begins to boo as Ruby looks around at the audience and she smiles as she calls for a microphone. She slowly paces around as she holds the microphone firmly in her hand as the crowd roars with the constant boos at her.
Ruby: Bollocks… Bloody hell ALL of you are a bunch of wankers in Nevada. Seriously I can do this all day. I can stand right here in the middle of the ring and not say a word.
Simone: Can somebody get her out of here. Does she even work her?!
Adams: Does being Courtney's wife count as "working" here?!
Ruby: Now I am out here to say that the stock of SCW has officially gone down the drain. The moment my beloved wife lost her SCW World Championship is the very moment that the ratings dropped. She was the best thing going and now that isn't the case anymore. I see there's a new breed of bombshells that signed up to be here and it doesn't impress me. Honestly I have some things I want to get off of my chest and all of you are going to listen to me! First and foremost notice the arm?!
Ruby smirks as she swings it around and around as a grin escapes her lips.
Ruby: I am cleared to wrestle but it's not like the company wants to offer me a contract. As a matter of fact it feels like I have been erased out of existence. I appreciate my wife being named woman of the year because she rightfully deserves it but how is it that I… ahem WE weren't even on the ballot for couple of the year?! I stood in this ring and blasted Arianna's stupid ass in the face with a cast. I helped my beloved retain her title and I get even get on the ballot, or even for manager of the year… If I didn't know any better… I would say that's completely… and utterly… and TOTALLY….
The crowd begins to boo loudly as Ruby tries to talk into the microphone but nothing emerges from out of it as she tries to speak but nothing comes out. All of a sudden we see Hot Stuff Mark Ward walk out from behind the curtain followed by security.
HS: No Mrs. Pierce… You want to know what's as you would say it TOTES OUTRAGEOUS?! What's OUTRAGEOUS is I gave you chance and chance to showcase what you have as a competitor to the world. You do well build yourself up as a legit competitor. You worked hard and win Blast From the Past. Daniel Morgan couldn't commit to being your partner but we gave you Mark Cross as a replacement. You get set up to be a big star and when the spotlight hits you, you can't even be arsed to do a promo against Amber Ryan in the main event of a show. Whatever credibility you state your wife built up with the title you took a dump on it during that time. If that wasn't the case you put in the bare minimum in the months to follow and constantly can't be arsed to promote or sell your matches. Your stock tanked right then and there.
Ruby tries to talk as she screams but nobody can here what she is saying because he has turned off her microphone.
Ruby: BUT IT'S OKAY FOR KRYSTAL WOLFE TO BREAK MY ARM?! THAT'S BLOODY OKAY, AND YOU EXPECT ME NOT TO LASH OUT?!
HS: You want to know what else another disappointment is?! The fact that I give you another chance. Because I feel bad because you are a fellow Londoner and a country woman. You come back as a married woman. You come in as Courtney's wife and I thought that would motivate you. However I see it was a mistake because once again you do the same old bloody shit that you did the first time. You don't put in the work. Now you want to bitch, moan, and complain when things don't go your way?! You want to make everything out to be a spectacle and can't even be arsed to speak to me before you lash out. That's bollocks. Now here you are in the middle of the ring trying to work the crowd out. You probably want to take a shot at Krystal Wolfe, you probably have other motives but guess what. We aren't going to sit through another case of somebody trying to call their own shots around here because I and Christian are the ones who call the shots around here!
Mark smirks as he speaks some more.
HS: But I am not the bad guy. As a matter of fact before you complain did you tell the world how I actually gave you a chance to come out to the ring at High Stakes and have some tv time?! No but as usual you NO SHOWED! Which shows me you don't care about anything! Now you can't even stay backstage as a spouse of an active competitor. You have no right being in the ring and with that being said it's time I make a move. So SCW security please get her out of my ring. I am tired of the whining, the complaining, and the bad music. It's OUTRAGEOUS I didn't do this sooner.
With that the security immediately rushes the ring. Ruby begins to mouth off to them but they grab her and they begin to escort her out of the ring and the arena. The crowd roars with excitement as Mark waves bye bye as the audience starts up a NAH NAH NAH Goodbye chant.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Rodrigo Afonso and Eddie Lyons standing across from each other in front of the Roulette Wheel.
Simone: Last week we saw Peter Vaughn retain the Roulette Title in a Briefcase Bonanza Match over Bill Barnhart and Jack Washington and tonight we'll see two men who have challenged Peter for that title in the past compete in a Roulette Rules Match! I suspect that the bosses will use this match to see who might be Peter's next challenger.
Adams: Rodrigo was Peter's last challenger before the Briefcase Bonanza match, maybe he's out to make the third time's the charm?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready gentlemen?
Eddie and Rodrigo nod and Rocky spins the wheel, it goes around for a few minutes before the wheel finally stops on………
Ms. Rocky Mountains: An Empty Arena Match?!
Simone: Err, that match is essentially what it says on the tib, a Falls Count Anywhere Match that takes place in an empty arena.
Adams: The bosses don't use it because of the cost of renting an arena and leaving it empty on the off chance that the wheel will land on it but it's finally happening in SCW.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Right, Jasmine will drive you gentlemen to the arena, good luck gentlemen.
Eddie and Rodrigo leave to go find Jasmine as the scene fades.
Simone: Welcome back to Climax Control and up next things are going to get wild as Eddie Lyons and Rodrigo Afonso are about to face off in a Roulette Rules Empty Arena Match! Which literally means that they will be fighting in an empty arena!
Adams: Normally we'd say that Justin is on location but he's apparently stuck in traffic, I don't know what Jasmine wants to do about that………
Simone: Wait, Eddie and Rodrigo aren't even waiting for Justin to arrive!
Indeed we cut to the empty arena where Eddie and Rodrigo are already brawling and Jasmine calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Simone: So who wants to tell Justin that he needs to turn his car around?
Adams: Let's leave that to the bosses, we've got a fight between Eddie and Rodrigo on our hands!
The brawl starts in the ring but it doesn't stay in the ring for very long as Eddie backdrops Rodrigo over the top rope and too the floor before following him out with Jasmine close behind, the two men continue to duke it out on the outside of the ring before Rodrigo manages to pull away, grab a nearby chair and wallop Eddie over the head with it dropping his opponent like a sack of potatoes! Rodrigo sets the chair aside for the moment so he can go for first pin of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Eddie kicks out! Rodrigo shakes his head before looking for another weapon he can use but when he remembers that the chairs in the crowd are empty because the whole arena is empty? He goes straight there!
Simone: I have to say, this is the most impractical match I've ever heard off.
Adams: Renting an entire arena just so you can leave it empty and let at least two wrestlers go at it? Who comes up with this stuff?!
Rodrigo spends a good couple of minutes looking for a suitable chair but that proves to be his undoing because Eddie hits him with a flip dive from the ring! The crowd back in the arena SCW's actually using for the show go wild for the move because of the distance Eddie had to clear to reach Rodrigo and Jasmine has to play catch up with the two men before Eddie can go for his first pin attempt of the match.
ONE!
TWO!
And Rodrigo kicks out!
Simone: Impractical as this match may be, you can't deny that Eddie and Rodrigo are going all out to win this match!
Adams: They want to impress the bosses, make them think "hey maybe that guy should be Peter's next challenger".
Jasmine watches as she waits for either man to get back to their feet first and after a few minutes it's Rodrigo that gets to his feet first though Eddie isn't that far behind his opponent, Rodrigo grabs Edie's head before the Portuguese wrestler drags him further up the stairs until the two men reach the entranceway to the backstage area where Rodrigo goes to throw Eddie through the doors, unfortunately for Rodrigo Eddie reverses it sending him through the doorway instead.
Simone: Wel, I have good news, Justin just arrived at the arena, bad news is he's already making his return trip due to how bad the traffic was in Primm this evening.
Adams: Well, that and Rodrigo and Eddie deciding that they couldn't wait for him!
Eddie follows Rodrigo through the doors and lays in a few stomps before he goes for a pin on Rodrigo.
ONE!
TWO!
And Rodrigo gets the shoulder up, Eddie sits up, looking frustrated at his inability to put Rodrigo away before he spots a nearby empty cafeteria.
Simone: Wow, even the cafeteria is empty?!
Adams: Did the arena just give the whole workforce the night off or something? Oh and I can confirm that Justic Decent encountered a lot less traffic on the way back and is now back in the arena and on his way back to ringside as we speak.
Simone: He's going to ask the bosses to cover his fuel costs, isn't he?
Adams: Probably.
Back at the empty arena Eddie has dragged Rodrigo into the empty cafeteria area where he doesn't even find any food stuffs behind the counter, jut unused and clean kitchen equipment and a mostly empty popcorn machine in the back, Eddie grabs Rodrigo by the head and goes to ram it against one of the deep fryers but Rodrigo puts the breaks on that idea before sending his opponent face first through the popcorn machine's glass! This has (obviously) busted open Eddie but has left him open to a roll-up from Rodrigo.
ONE!
TWO!
And Eddie gets the shoulder up.
Simone: I sincerely hope that the arena has cleaning staff on hand because now that popcorn machine has blood and broken glass in it!
Adams: And you just know the arena will be expecting SCW to front the bill for repairs.
Rodrigo drags Eddie out of the cafeteria area and too a different part of the empty arena, namely the toilets and they decide to test if the arena is truly empty by taking their brawl through women's and man's toilets, the result? Both toilets are completely empty but whilst they are in the women's toilets Eddie does gain control of Rodrigo, grabbing the smaller wrestler by the legs, dunking his head in one of the toilets and giving him a swirlee.
Simone: I hope to god that Eddie found a toilet that's recently been flushed!
Adams: I mean, the rest of the arena is empty so it stands to reason that the toilets are clean, at least I hope so for Rodrigo's sake!
Fortunately for Rodrigo the toilet is indeed clean (or as clean as an arena toilet can be at least) and once Eddie is satisfied that the damage has been done he goes for a pin on Rodrigo after pulling his head out of the toilet, dragging Rodrigo out of the stall, and dropping down for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Rodrigo still kicks out! Eddie decides to leave the women's bathroom to regroup and rethink his plan but he doesn't get much of a chance too before he's jumped from behind by Rodrigo who proceeds to drop him with a Float over DDT and a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Eddie kicks out, Rodrigo picks Eddie up and drags him to a concession stand area with a balcony overlooking it and gets an idea, laying Eddie across the table and calling for his finisher.
Simone: Wait, is Rodrigo going to try to do his Moonsault Senton from that Balcony?!
Adams: It's not a huge drop but that would take Eddie out, and Rodrigo if he misses.
Rodrigo makes his way to the balcony and balances himself on the ledge before leaping off for the Moonsault Senton, unfortunately for Rodrigo Eddie gets off the table in time and he's the only one that crashes through the table!
Simone: And just as you predicted, Rodrigo may have just taken himself out with that Moonsault Senton!
Adams: Eddie had better pin him now and HOW IS RODRIGO GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET?!
Indeed, Rodrigo is somehow up to a seated position after his crash and burn but Eddie quickly sees too it that that doesn't last long hitting Rodrigo with a running knee to the face.
Simone: And just for good measure, there's Eddie with the Mane Kick!
Adams: I don't think Rodrigo's getting up now! Stick a fork in him, he's done!
Eddie goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Eddie Lyons!
Simone: Eddie bounces back from the Internet Title Match at High Stakes with an impressive win in this Roulette Rules Match!
Adams: And it's back to the drawing board for Rodrigo!
Eddie celebrates his win whilst Jasmine checks on Rodrigo.
"Doughnuts make everything alright!"
Kandy Kaine skips down the hallway toward the locker rooms while Matty Mallow keeps a few places behind. He is carrying a boxes of Pink Box doughnuts, the pride of Prime, Nevada. They make it to the mens locker room before Kandy's puts her hands over her eyes and turns around to look away completely.
Kandy: I'm sorry to see your buns! But for the record, they are bangin'. I'm pretty sure there's a cinnamon roll in here that would give it a nice little shake…
Matty chuckles at Kandy's naivety before lowering the boxes to see his face finally. There is a disgruntled response from within the locker room. Matty steps inside as the shower starts running. He looks around to see Drew Patton getting ready to ref his next match. Matty approached with a smile.
Matty: Lemme doughnut you up, breh!
Without hesitation, Matty sets a napkin down with a signature Pink Box cream filled. He winks and Drew goes to speak. However, Matty shakes his head.
Matty: Don't you worry. It's my way of saying… Hello…
Matty goes over to the locker that is tagged for Justin Smith. He places one of the five boxes into the locker. Just then, Rocky Mountains approaches him.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Matty Mallow, I'm glad you scheduled your time with us…
Matty: It's totally fine, but we just saw someone's doojer and chickadees, so maybe we should talk in the hallway.
Matty leads Rocky to the hallway. He sets the remaining doughnuts down on the catering table. He turns to Rocky and claps his hands together
Matty: Right, you're here to talk about Justin Smith.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: More specifically the backstage brawl you two had. What was that about?
Matty sighs and shrugs his shoulders.
Matty: I don't know. First I'm celebrating with the fans and going to the back to take a shower, and next thing I know, I'm being pushed back by referees. I thought it was kinda strange, but then Justin decided he didn't like me anymore. He decided to lay hands on the Prince of Puff Pow.
Rocky nods her head in response. She brings the microphone back to her lips.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You guys were having a full fledged fight in the back. The animosity was very apparent.
Matty: I had to defend myself and he wasn't listening to reason. I tried though. I must have done something really bad in the ring to make him come after me like that.
Rocky clears her throat.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You won…
Matty: He could have won too. The match was so close… like super close. Really, I just got lucky if you watch the playback.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Certain egos can't handle a loss, luck or not. We don't know enough about Justin to draw any conclusions.
Matty looks almost offended.
Matty: That's not fair. I bet Justin is a real good fella. I bet he just felt he had taken an "L" for the final time. I bet he thought he had to prove a point, and let me say… point taken.
Matty looks at the camera and nods his head with all seriousness written on his face.
Matty: I understand. I'm not mad. I'll even go into the archives to erase the end of that match. The bosses can keep my sign on bonus to do me that solid. Look, Justin. It never happened. And you've got the best doughnuts in the Las Vegas metropolitan area waiting for you. Even Steven. Now we can work on being friends like we should have been from the beginning.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: How do you suppose you two can come back from that and be friends?
Matty: Easy peasy. I'm willing to forgive. It would be so much easier for two newbies to work together and support each other through this time. Whaddya say, Justin? Confidants, friends, pals…?
Matty looks right into the camera as if waiting for an answer. After a moment he nods his head and leaves to join Kandy in skipping down the hallway again. Rocky shrugs her shoulders.
We go to the backstage area and it is there where we can see Ruby Pierce being carried out of the arena.
Ruby: I have a ticket! I have a ticket! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I AM A FORMER BFTP WINNER! I will sue this whole bloody company. My name will be on the sign in Las Vegas! I will sue for the broken arm and what have you!
They eventually throw her out of the arena and as they do we can see Teddy and Dawn Warren walking backstage with grin's on their faces. Pussy Willow catches them and she smirks as she begins to speak to the Warrens.
Pussy: Long time no see… It has been a while since we have seen you Dawn but more importantly I can't remember the last time we have seen you Teddy.
Teddy: It has been WAY too long… Honestly I wasn't the same after the divorce to Kate but times have definitely been changing and I feel to be in a much better place now. Most importantly we all know how my sister over here got married to Melissa Chavez?! What's even crazier is I have feel in love with her older sister Michelle Chavez. Shortly after dating her from Christmas and the New Year we got close quick. She got pregnant and just this week I can say that I am a proud father of a beautiful baby girl.
Dawn: TOTES which means I am going to be the best TI TI in the whole world. TI TI D-Dub has a nice ring to it and I love my little niece. I am going to spoil her in the ways that only a TI TI can!
Teddy: Yes and honestly I have been doing some soul searching since my long break from being in SCW. A lot has been on my mind and I got a wedding coming soon. When I first met my Michelle I told her that I am a man who always conquers whatever he has his mind set on.
Dawn: Right… Still don't know how my jerkface brother got with a girl like that and engaged to her no less!
Teddy: But it's okay for you to be married to the other sibling?! Why can't siblings be with other siblings!
All of a sudden Melissa Chavez-Warren walks into the shot. She stands next to Dawn crossing her arms.
Melissa: My thoughts exactly!
Teddy: Anyway it's been a while since I have been on screen and I have things I have left to accomplish. I want to become a Hall of Famer one day and on top of that I have won every single title here but one and that being the World Championship. If its okay with management I want to be the very first person to announce his entry into the 2024 BFTP tournament. I need to finish the story. I need to go the distance and on top of that one more match with J2H wouldnt hurt. I need to beat him to finally justify my career.
With that Teddy smirks as we go elsewhere.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the rookie Bombshell Harper Mason lacing up her boots as Jessie watches on.
Jessie: Are you ready for tonight Harp?
Harper: As ready as ever, I do have a lot of frustration to work out because of how the Empire Pro match ended last week.
Harper shakes her head with a frown.
Harper: Seriously, whose idea was it to make it so that champions could retain on a count out or disqualification?!
Jessie: Melody got lucky last week but it'll be up to you to make sure that her luck runs out next time! Tonight though? It's all about raising your stock as an SCW Bombshell, Mercedes is by far the most experienced and decorated wrestler you've faced since you signed with SCW and speaking from my own personal battles with her? She's a tough old bitch!
Harper: I'm well aware of that, hell I wanted to go into a deep dive into her career to prepare but realized that I'd be here until my twenty first birthday!
Jessie: And now you know why I never bothered to keep track of my wins and losses, I've been in SCW longer than Mercedes and whilst I'm a lot younger? My total matches aren't anything to sneeze at either.
Harper: Admit it, the fact that I wasn't even a teenager when you debuted makes you feel old doesn't it?
Jessie: That and the fact that you've already got two titles to your name, but if you win tonight then your stock in the Bombshell Division will skyrocket and who knows? You'll be in the Bombshell Roulette Division faster than you can say "the FCW show's in a different city!"."
Harper groans as she thinks back to that embarrassing mistake.
Harper: I'm never living that down, am I?
Jessie: Nope. Come on, you've got a match to get ready for.
The two women walk off as the scene fades.
Justin: this match is scheduled for one fall… introducing first…
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Justin: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds, MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. Mercedes vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponent(s) to arrive.
Justin: and her opponent…being accompanied to the ring by Jessie Salco…
Jonathon Young's cover of "New Divide" by Linkin Park hits the speakers and Harper emerges from the back throwing some kicks in the air to the opening beat, once the initial lyrics hit Harper does a spinning roundhouse kick before dropping to one knee and throwing up the Devil Horns.
Justin: From Orlando, Florida and being accompanied by SCW Hall of Famer Jessie Salco, she is the "Slaytanic Avenger" HARPER MASON!
Once Harper hears her name called she jumps to her feet with a massive grin on her face, she sprints down to the ring clapping hands with the fans at ringside before she jumps into the ring and down a forward roll landing on her knees and grinning broadly, ready to throw down with her opponent.
The ref moves in and checks for weapons before indicating for the bell to be rung…
DING DING DING!
Mason and Vargas circle the ring before moving in and locking up in the centre of the ring, where they jockey for position as they seek to get the upper hand, as Mason drops to knee for a moment before standing back up and breaks and grabs Vargas' arm as she seeks to transition but Vargas stick in an elbow to put off Mason. Mason struggles but she manages to lock in the wrist lock on Vargas. Mason twists and adjusts her grip, as Vargas grimaces in pain before dropping to a knee but quickly rises back up. She takes a moment before rolling forward before turning and gets to a knee and pushes Mason backwards before rolling her onto her stomach and then leaps in to place and grabs Mason into a headlock.
Simone: Good start for Mason, as she looks to take charge of this match.
Adams: but from the early exchange it's Vargas who ends up on top with headlock.
Its only brief, as Vargas gets to a knee, while Mason is on her knee as Vargas grins as she tugs on Mason's head, but Mason grabs Vargas' hand and breaks her grip and twists and locks in a hammerlock and leans up against Vargas. Vargas, however, sits up as she grabs at her shoulder for a brief moment, before throwing herself sideways and rolls free from the hammerlock and into her knees and counters the hammerlock into a wrist lock on Mason and climbs to her feet. Mason quickly grabs at Vargas' hand before rolling forward and then pivots, gets to her knees and then kips up to break Vargas' grip and then counters with a wristlock into a hammerlock into a headlock before taking her down to the mat.
Adams: Good countering between Vargas and Mason, as we wait for them to speed up the match.
This headlock is only brief, as Vargas gets a leg up and around Mason's neck and Mason quickly thrusts her legs out to break free from the grip before scrambling backwards towards the ropes, as Vargas is back to her feet, while Mason is up on one knee. They take a moment as Mason glares at Vargas as Vargas smirks. Mason gets to her feet as she and Vargas move around the ring, as Mason speeds up a little and tries to catch Vargas off guard but Vargas is fully aware and dodges it and they slow down and hesitate before Mason moves in and she locks up with Vargas but its only brief as she breaks and grabs Vargas around the waist. Vargas quickly grabs a Mason's hand and breaks the waist lock before countering into a waist lock of her own and Vargas releases and pushes Mason away who bounces off the ropes and as she comes back Vargas tries to lift her up before Mason avoids it and drops down and grabs Vargas and pulls her down for attempt at a pinfall but Vargas keeps rolling backward to put a stop at that pin attempt and they get back to their feet, as Mason charges at Vargas but Vargas ducks and turns and approaches Mason and leaps up and hits a headscissors takedown.
Simone: They stop for a moment as Mason gets free from Vargas. As they circle the ring with Mason trying to catch Vargas off guard which doesn't work as they continue to figure out each other with neither getting the upper hand.
Adams: Well the headscissors is almost like getting the upper hand.
Mason quickly gets back to her feet as does Vargas and Vargas charges at Mason and Mason ducks and bounces off the ropes and as she comes back she leaps up and hits a headscissors takedown and Vargas rolls away a little rocked, as Mason gets back to her feet as Vargas makes her way to her feet and as she turns, Mason swipes Vargas' legs from underneath her and goes for a pin…
ONE!
Kickout…
Adams: They both get to their feet as Mason hits another headscissors, which Vargas seems a little shocked but as Vargas gets back to her feet, Mason takes her down for a pin with only getting a one count.
Vargas kicks out with ease, as Mason is quickly back to her feet and this time Vargas swipes Mason's feet out from underneath her and goes for a pin…
ONE!
Kickout…
Simone: Vargas returns the favour, and she gets only a one count.
Mason kicks out as she and Vargas both kip up to their feet and stare at each other down, as they contemplate their next move. Mason takes a few steps away as Vargas turns and smirks at Mason and they exchange a few words before Mason attacks with a boot to Vargas' stomach before grabbing a handful of hair and hits a forearm shot. Vargas stumbles away into the corner as Mason approaches and grabs Vargas' hand and Irish whips her across the ring with Mason following close behind. Vargas pushes herself up and Mason disappears past and Vargas lands on her feet behind Mason and she rolls backwards as Mason turns and rushes in but Vargas trips her before making her way to her feet and hits a dropkick to Mason's face.
Adams: Nice kip up from both women as they take their time as Vargas looks pleases as punch and they exchange a few works before Mason attack with a boot to the midsection before following up with a forearm shot.
Simone: Vargas is no longer smirking, as Mason tries to get the upper hand, as she sends Vargas to the corner but Vargas doges and Mason rushes in but she tripped up and then gets a face full of boot.
She then goes for a cover…
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Mason gets a shoulder up as she holds her face and rolls away, as Vargas sits up and shakes her head, as she makes her way to her feet, she moves to where Mason is and proceeds to stomp on her a few times before grabbing her and pulls her up. She then Irish whips Mason across the ring into the corner and Vargas goes follow up with a splash but Mason dodges and Vargas crashes chest first into the turnbuckles. Vargas stumbles back holding her chest as Mason briefly checks her face before leaping onto the ropes and hits a springboard enziguri. Vargas stumbles away as Mason quickly climbs back to her feet and approaches Vargas, where she grabs her hand and spins her around and hits a short-arm clothesline and sends Vargas down to the mat.
Simone: Mason kicks out as she then rolls away from Vargas, but Vargas isn't done, and she stomps on Mason before pulling her up and sends her across the ring. She tries for a splash but that is dodged, and Mason hits a springboard enziguri.
Adams: Vargas is rocked from that.
Mason returns the favour of a stomp before turning and leaps onto the ropes and hits Sun//Eater (Springboard 450 Splash). She then goes for a cover…
ONE!
TWO!
TH.. Kickout!
Adams: Sun/Eater and into a pin but Vargas kicks out.
Mason shakes her head, as she looks at Jessie who just encourages her and claps her hand, as Mason tries again…
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Mason climbs to her feet as she grabs Vargas and pulls her up and then lifts her up onto her shoulders, but Vargas begins to kick her legs about and she manages to wriggle free and land on her feet before stumbling backwards into the rope. Mason turns and rushes towards Vargas as she look for a clothesline, but Vargas ducks and grabs the top rope and Mason sails over the ropes and onto the apron. Vargas turns and Mason goes for a wild swing but ducks and instead drives her shoulder into Mason's stomach.
Simone: she tries again with the pin, but Vargas kicks out. Mason then tries to look for her finisher, but Vargas isn't warn down and she wriggles free. Mason tries to catch Vargas off guard but with little luck.
Mason drops off the apron and drops to a knee holding her torso. Vargas turns and she looks over the ropes and as Mason climbs back to her feet, Vargas grabs the ropes and leaps up and over for a plancha and catches Mason. Mason goes to ground as Vargas gets to her feet and holding her torso. Salco moves around the ring and approaches Mason and checks on her as Vargas glares at her before moving in, where she grabs Mason and partially pulls her up and then hits a curb stomp on her.
Adams: Nice plancha from Vargas. Vargas then works on Mason as Salco looks on with concern.
Salco shakes her head, as the ref who had been yelling at Vargas to bring the action back into the ring, begins a count…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Vargas grabs Mason once more and this hits the 2 to Tango/Tango for Two (Arm wrench followed by a hook kick to the face of an opponent).
Simone: That will finish of Mason.
FOUR!
FIVE!
Vargas looks up at the ref before turning back to Mason, as she gives Salco a warning to back off before grabbing Mason and drags her up and rolls her into the ring. Salco moves back around to watch the action, as Vargas doesn't go back into the ring…
Adams: Mason is rolled back into the ring… but what is Vargas doing?
SIX!
SEVEN!
Simone: She is looking for something… oh god. She has pulled out a Singapore cane. Vargas drops to a knee and lifts apron skirt up and looks around before grabbing a Singapore cane. Vargas climbs into the ring, as the ref warns Vargas not to use it and she takes a swing at the ref who ducks out of the way. Vargas moves to where Mason is and proceeds to cane Mason over and over again.
Adams: What has gotten into Vargas? There wasn't any need to do that.
The ref shouts at Vargas before moving to the corner and informs Justin and the person who rings the bell that Vargas has been disqualified. Vargas continues to hit Mason…
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of this match via disqualification of Mercedes Vargas…Harper Mason.
Simone: Don't go in Jessie.
Vargas continues to hit, as Salco shakes her head and then makes the choice of entering the ring to help Mason and Vargas stops wailing on Mason and begins to wail on Salco. The ref screams at Vargas, but Vargas has to stop anyway as the cane breaks and splinters. She backs off and smiles as the ref and some medics come rushing down the ramp to check on Salco and Mason. As Vargas climbs from the ring and slowly heads up the ramp.
Adams: I don't know what has gotten into Vargas, but we will let you know of Jessie and Harper's condition once we know.
Roulette Championship
Peter Vaughn (c) v "Unbreakable" Eddie Lyons
Johnny Cash's Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body down starts to play across the sound system as we see Goth emerge from the entrance way. The crowd boos the veteran, who had beaten Austin James Mercer the other show a week ago as he does not react to their antics. He slowly walks towards Justin Decent, demands for a microphone before getting in the ring and stares at the crowd who keeps booing him as he waits for the boos to die down.
Goth: I know I did not win the world title a while ago, something that you people really enjoy seeing isn't it???
The crowd cheers as Goth's darkened stare nearly burns a hole through them, but he does not respond to their taunting of a J2H chant.
Goth: I have vowed to go through everyone that the company sets in front of me before receiving another title shot against J2H or whomever is that holds that title. And why?? Not because I feel I am entitled to one… But because I need to feel the desire to be on top of the mountain one final time… ONE FINAL TIME!!!!
He closes his eyes, trying to restrain himself from exploding to the SCW audience as he lifts a hand in the air to show he needs a moment to find his composure.
Adams: It is starting to become an obsession for Goth to be the world champion once again.
Simone: Well I think he is realizing that he does not have much time left in his career Jason.
Goth: I don't need to prove it to anyone else out there, because all of you only care for yourselves!! Oh no, I need to prove it to MYSELF!!! Because these words that have been mentioned to me by certain people start to dig deep into my head, start to make me question whether I have it in me or not to finally…. Hold…. That… damn… belt.
The crowd start to chant that Goth can't wrestle, combined with your too old and many other mental taunting from them as he starts to swallow harder and harder before exploding from nowhere.
Goth: YOU NEVER EVEN CARED ABOUT ME!! You never liked me!! You never believed in me!!! And you know something?? I fucking loathe you!!!
He grabs his head as he drops to his knees, starting to scream out loud into the void as the crowd boos him. He slowly drops his hands to the canvas as he starts to breathe heavily before putting the microphone to his lips.
Goth: I am suffering, but not because of you stupid ignorant people. Oh no, I am suffering for your sins… I am suffering because you need to go home after each and every show, to feel good about your stinking and miserable lives.
The crowd boos Goth as he lifts up his head as we stare into his bloodshed red eyes.
Goth: I am suffering because I want to, I am suffering because it makes me want to feel the pain I wish to dish upon others!! I am suffering….
He slowly gets up and charges towards the corner as he bashes his head into the top turnbuckle a few times before continuing to talk into the microphone.
Goth: Because I need to leave on top… And I MUST do the unthinkable, I MUST do what I have never done before!! And J2H?? I want you to hold on to that belt as I will go through anyone that the powers that be wants to throw at me… Bring me the Ben Jordans, bring me the Helluva Bottom Carter, bring me the Alexander Raven's of this world… Hell even some of them that are long gone… I don't care… I have to J2H… between now and the end of next year I must fulfil my prophecy… Something that none of you understand… But the darkness will rise and I will make you all believe in me….
With that he drops the microphone to the floor as he heads to the back to a lot of boos from the crowd.
Adams: I am not so sure whether I wish to face this version of Goth Belinda.
Simone: I totally agree Jason.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see the Bombshell Internet Champion Ariana Angelos standing by with Pussy Willow.
Pussy: Ari, first off, belated congratulations on your title win at High Stakes and Happy belated Birthday as well.
Ariana: It's been a crazy year for sure but I've made it to twenty three and for the second birthday in a row? I'm a champion again!
Ari pats her title with pride and a big grin on her face.
Pussy: I have a lot of questions to get through so let's jump right in, you seem to be eager to defend that title, in fact when Roxi pulled out of her scheduled match with Seleana you offered to defend your title against Seleana.
Ariana: Look, i know from my Roulette Title Reign that the bosses will use any opportunity they can to have a champion defend a belt, especially when they are a new champ like me, sadly Bobbie Dahl had already beaten me to the punch but those are still two great women in the Main Event and my eye will be focussed on that match because for all I know? Either one of them could end up being my first challenger.
Pussy: Speaking of title matches, we have to address the elephant in the room, you had a rather direct hand in costing Courtney Pierce her rematch for the World Bombshell Title last week, is there still bad blood between you too?
Ariana: Just because I turned my attention away from that title scene after I lost to Julianna doesn't mean I wasn't keeping an eye on it! I'll admit, I had plans to interfere in their match at High Stakes but after I got the match that led to this?
Ariana motions to her title.
Ariana: I decided to leave them be for the night and focus on winning this, the results speak for themselves don't they? And yeah, there's still bad blood between us, I just kept everything bottled up for the rest of the cycle and……
She is cut off by a blur that comes from the side of the screen that lays her out on the floor. Ariana's championship slides across the floor away from her as the blur is revealed to have been a sprinting Court Pierce.
Court: You should have just taken your consolation prize and walked away…
Ariana is quickly back to her feet, but the former Bombshell World Champion is able to block a right hand before grabbing Ari by the back of the head and slamming her into one of the storage crates lining the wall. The assault doesn't end there either. Ariana's hands come up to cover her face after hitting the crate, and Court seizes the opportunity to tackle her to the ground with a spear before throwing as many right hands as she could before being picked up and pulled away by security rushing the scene.
Court: YOU COST ME EVERYTHING!!!
Court screams as she is pulled away, but as soon as she is separated from Ariana, they drop her back on her feet and turn their attention to the fallen Bombshell Internet Champion.
Court: This is just the start of what you're gonna get!
Ariana is able to push herself back up to her hands and knees and is waving off the assistance of the medical personnel as they arrive, but Court sees an opportunity and rushes back in. She connects with a running knee to the side of Ariana's head that causes her to crumble back to the ground. However, she can't do any more damage than that, as the wall of humanity between them focuses on making sure Court is escorted away before tending to Ariana.
Adams: This should prove to be an interesting match between Iconic Dubois and Alexander Raven. Although I know Alexander Raven has been successful in Sin City Wrestling I think he is going to be surprised by the in-ring abilities of Del Dubois who is known by his nickname of Iconic Dubois
Simone: Seriously? You believe that a newcomer to Sin City Wrestling is going to be able to make easy work of Alexander Raven?
Justin: Our next match is a Standard Rules match pitting Alexander Raven against Iconic Dubois. As is the case with Standard rules matches a win is obtained by pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification. First to make his way to the ring, he stands in at six feet two inches and two hundred fifteen pounds, please give a great Primm, Nevada, welcome to ALEXANDER RAVEN!!!
As the opening guitar rift bellows out, the lights slowly dim down to a shade of blue being thrown over the area. A person begins to slowly walk forward having a reverse hood pulled up over and covering his face. The words FORGETTABLE and FORGOTTEN across it in red letters, one at the top, one at the bottom. Small white X's where the eyes are. "I WAS BORN WITH MY HEAD AROUND THE WRONG WAY" with these words the person slowly walks forward, arms stretched out far to the sides. A slow and measured stride forward. Halfway to the ring he stops, turning around to face the entrance once more. His hands going up to the hood. A stomp of the foot, then another, and another. The crowd beginning to stomp along now, cheers and boos, a myriad of reactions. "TAKE ME! OFF THE WALL! THE WALL!!!!! then he yanks the hood down. Alexander Raven. Spinning on his heel, he stretches his arms out wide, bathing in the reaction. He flicks the collar of his jacket, flashing a smile, winking at one of the nearby front row members. The slow measured steps towards the ring, stopping at the edge of the apron, using the middle rope to pull himself up, standing on the edge of the apron. Turning and hooking his arms over the top the rope. He leans his head back, leaning deeply into the ropes. "I BEAR THE MARKS. . .STILL BEAR THEM SO. . ." He flips backwards off the ropes and lands roughly on his feet. Turning he quickly runs to the opposite corner and leaps up onto the second rope. One hand raised, the other waving the crowd in. Getting the crowd revved up. Dropping back down onto the canvas, he slowly removes his jacket and drops it over the rope to the floor and then he waits for the arrival of his opponent. Adams: That sure is a lot of theatrics just to make an entrance for a match. Simone: Have some respect for those people who are on the Sin City Wrestling Roster as wrestlers. I don't see you signing up as a wrestler and getting into the ring. Either put up or shut up I always say. Justin: The next wrestler to make their way to the ring, they hail from Atlanta, Georgia, standing in at six feet one inch and weighing one hundred eighty-eight pounds, please give a great Las Vegas welcome for DEL DUBOIS also known as ICONIC DUBOIS!!! Flakes of golden sparkles fall from the rafters much to the delight of the fans and when the lights dim the fans lose their minds covered in golden flakes. The vibe changes to GET IT in the sold out Gold Coast Casino. Strobe lights accompany the change in tone to a delightful summer pallet of light oranges and blues. Childish Gambino's trademark hit THIS IS AMERICA entices the feel to its fullest realization point. Dancing behind the illuminated entrance curtain is the iconic image. He jukes, jives, and glides out onto the ramp to a massive babyface ovation. He holds a mic to his lips playfully but in a definite way that is not lip singing. Smiling perfectly he dips and moves side to side while also showing his stellar athleticism and quickness through a funnel of lightning shaped beams. His gold & black sparkling jacket catches wide eyes everywhere in the house. Dubois raises his hands and eyebrows, egging on fans to get wild enough, and he often doubles back to slap their hands too. Moving verbally lyric to lyric within the vibe his gravity naturally creates. Twinkling his fingers, he grins like the Cheshire cat on his way down the ramp, all the while in perfect song rhythm to step by step. He drives the fans mad who reach over the barrier to get a glimpse every time Dubois stops hitting musical high highs and low lows throughout the lyrical verses. Dubois touches hands with the fans, then bashfully smiles, finally turning back as promised for another round of high fives, ramping the energy up more. The fans hug him while security gets its collective shit together. Dubois smiles big, singing masterfully to the tune, stopping at the ring base on a large beat, hopping vertically backwards up onto the ring apron. He winks at the ref, chop-kicking to the music, greeting fans on every side of his blank artistic canvas while his opponent, Thomas Gabriel Wank who is known as THE TROLL glares on. The charm of Dubois ravishes the crowd to his favor instantaneously with very few haters remaining. THIS IS AMERCA simmers as he competes the last line. Iconic Dubois looks up blushing at the crowd, infecting their quivering eyes with stylish one of a kind dazzle. What could be next? Our hero seems ready to paint another masterpiece on this blank canvas.
Simone: Oh, man, Alexander Raven is going to make short work of Iconic Dubois! Lots of colored lights, sparkles, and high-fives to the crowd, is not likely to get him a win over Alexander Raven.
Adams: Dream on Belinda! Although Alexander Raven has been successful in Sin City Wrestling he has also often faltered and lost matches. I believe Raven is in for a huge surprise once the match begins and Iconic Dubois goes on the offensive.
Referee Dawn Barnes motions for Alexander Raven and Iconic Dubois to join her in the center of the ring. She goes over the rules of this match which are Standard Rules with a win obtained by pinfall, submission, count out, or disqualification. When she asks both if they understand the rules of this match and how a win is obtained both state they understand. Referee Barnes then checks Alexander Raven and Iconic Dubois to ensure they are free of foreign objects and substances. Satisfied that both wrestlers are clean Referee Dawn Barnes informs them to return to their corners to await the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start this match. Once the two wrestlers are in their corners Referee Dawn Barnes motions to the Timekeeper and the Timekeeper rings the bell for the official start of this match.
DING DING DING!
Adams: Woo Hoo! This match is officially underway!
Simone: You are not going to be happy for long once Alexander Raven makes short work out of Iconic Dubois.
Dubois and Raven come out of their corners and meet in the center of the ring where they stare down each other. After a short time of the stare down we watch as Iconic Dubois extends his hand as a gesture that he wants to start the match with a handshake. Raven slaps the hand of Dubois to the side. Undeterred Iconic Dubois again extends his hand for a handshake to open the match but this time he gets an open-handed slap to the cheek by Alexander. Dubois complains to Referee Dawn Barns about the slap and she informs him that an open-handed slap is within the rules. Upset that he was not able to get a more favorable ruling from the Referee we watch as Iconic Dubois charges at Alexander Raven who executes an arm drag on Dubois dragging him to the mat. Raven twists on the arm of Dubois and Referee Barnes steps in to ask Iconic Dubois if he wants to submit and he tells her NO so she allows the match to continue.
Simone: Well, Jason, so much for your concept of Iconic Dubois having superior wrestling abilities as compared to Alexander Raven. Looks like Dubois made a mistake by letting his guard down and he paid the price for it.
Adams: It was just a lucky chance Alexander Raven took and it happened to work. That is not something that is going to go continuously during this match.
Simone: Too bad that we, as Commentators, are prohibited from betting on wrestling matches because I would love to win a bet against you and empty your wallet of money.
Fortunately for Iconic Dubois they are close enough to the ring ropes for him to reach out with his leg and get his foot into the ropes. This brings Referee Barnes to demand Alexander Raven release the hold he has on Iconic Dubois. When Raven released the hold Referee Barnes tells Alexander to stand back to allow for Iconic Dubois to come out of the ropes. Raven steps back and waits while he watches Iconic Dubois remove his leg from the ropes but Dubois smartly keeps other parts of his body in the ropes so that Referee Dawn Barnes continues to make Alexander Raven stand back.
Adams: There you go Belinda! I told you Iconic Dubois was smart and he proved it by tying himself in the ropes to cause the Referee to order Raven to break the hold.
Simone: You mean Dubois was lucky that they were close enough to the ropes to tie up into the ropes to get a break. If they were not close to the ropes then Iconic Dubois would have been made to submit by Alexander Raven as he had a strong grip on the arm of Dubois and he was applying heavy pressure.
Dubois is reluctant to come out of the ropes so Referee Dawn Barnes tells him to come out of the ropes and get back into the action of the match or she will call a Disqualification on him. Then she looks over at Raven and tells him to stay back until Dubois comes out of the ropes and she motions for the action to continue.
Simone: So much for his tactics to remain in the ropes as Referee Barnes just told him to come out of the ropes or he will be Disqualified.
Adams: All will be fine.
Dubois removes himself from the ropes but he moves to the nearest corner where he leans back into the corner. Referee Barnes motions for the action to continue and Raven slowly moves towards the corner where Dubois is located. When Alexander is approaching Iconic grabs the corner ropes and he kicks both legs out in the direction of Raven to attempt a kick to him. Alexander dodges the attempt kick and he then grabs both legs of Iconic and he starts pulling hard but Dubois still has a grasp on the corner ropes. Raven continues to pull on the legs of Dubois until Dubois can no longer maintain his grasp on the ropes. When he releases his grasp Raven pulls extra hard which pulls Dubois a good distance from the ropes and Dubois lands had on his back on the mat.
Simone: Well, Jason, so much for Iconic Dubois figuring out a way to remain in the corner even with the Referee's warning.
Adams: Oh well. Now we will see what Dubois will do next.
Simone: If he was smart he would submit and get this match over with.
Referee Dawn Barnes steps in to ask Iconic Dubois if he wants to submit and he tells her NO so she allows the match to continue. Alexander Raven lands a few nicely placed kicks to the legs and thighs of Dubois. Then Raven drops an elbow to the thighs of Dubois and we can tell Iconic is feeling the pain. Raven then locks Dubois up in a Figure-Four Leg-Lock and he has it locked on tightly. Seeing the pain on the face of Dubois the Referee steps in to ask Dubois if he wishes to submit and he again tells her NO so she backs off to allow the match to continue.
Simone: It would appear that Iconic Dubois is in one of those situations that he cannot get out of. He is too far from the ropes to grab the ropes and get a break. He is in pain from the Figure-Four Leg-Lock so trying to get out of the hold or reverse it is also not an option. Time for him to give up to avoid serious injury.
Adams: I hate to admit this, Simone, but I agree with you.
Although we can tell that Dubois is suffering pain from the Figure-Four Leg-Lock that Raven has on him we see him still struggle to get the hold reversed which would apply pressure to Raven and release some of the pressure on his own legs. Alexander counters the attempt by Iconic and he applies additional pressure to the legs of Dubois. From the expression on the face of Dubois and his groaning from the pain it is clear that he is not going to be able to last much longer without suffering a major injury. This time when Referee Dawn Barnes steps in and asks Dubois if he wants to submit he shouts out YES and Referee Barnes calls for the bell to end the match.
DING DING DING!
Referee Barnes orders Alexander Raven to release the Figure-Four Leg-Lock and he does. She tells Raven to stand next to her and the two move a distance away from Iconic Dubois to give him room to get back to his feet.
Justin: Here is the official decision by Referee Dawn Barnes. The winner of this match, by Submission, is ALEXANDER RAVEN!!!
Referee Dawn Barnes raises the hand of Alexander Raven for the Win. After she drops his hand Raven moves towards Justin Decent, snatching the mic out of his hand. Seeing that Iconic Dubois is slow to get up to his feet Referee Barnes asks him if he would like her to call for assistance to help him get out of the ring and into the backstage area. Dubois tells Referee Barnes that he will get up, and make his way to the backstage area, on his own. We watch as Dubois gets to his feet, although a bit wobbly, and he exits the ring and slowly makes his way towards the backstage area. Simone: It seems like Alexander Raven has something to say.
Raven: Nah, nah! We ain't done just yet. I got something to say!
Breathing somewhat heavily following the intense match between himself and Iconic Dubois, Raven is tapping his palm against the top of a microphone. He rolls himself back into the ring, waving his hands. The crowd is cheering loudly, roaring in appreciation for the Napalm Kingslayer.
Raven: Cut the music.
His theme music is cut abruptly as requested, turning to face the audience as he steps up onto the bottom and middle ropes, holding a hand in the air.
Raven: I hope you're listening J2H. I know you're around somewhere; you'd have to be right? The guy who is here every week. The only guy who isn't lazy. That's your words, right James?
The crowd has dulled down now. Listening with rapt attention. Raven's face is firm, frustration etched into his features. He lowers his raised arm to hold the top rope to steady himself. Staring down the barrel of a camera.
Raven: I paid my respect, because you did earn it. Regardless of what anyone says otherwise, we stepped into an unfathomable situation, and were the last two standing. A moment is all it took. A heartbeat. A breath. A single moment and you took the win. You got it up on me. You earned my respect.
A clap from the crowd, chants of 'Raven' echoing around the arena. He steps down and off the ropes, turning towards the ramp and leaning up against the ropes.
Raven: If I must beat you, James, to earn your respect. Then mark my words. I'll beat you from pillar to post, and drag you up the old dirt road to find you a nice piece of brush to lay you down in. Right here, right now, we're the two best damn wrestlers that Sin City has to offer. No matter how much others scream and yell. In the biggest match, in the biggest main event, of the biggest show of the year. We were the two best that Sin City has to offer.
Raven extends his right hand, holding the mic to his mouth with the left. Pointing down the ramp way to the stage entrance.
Raven: So I'm going take you up on your offer James. Any time, any place. You want to throw down next week? Let's do it. You want to throw down in the go home show before the final show of the year? Let's do it. You want to go one more time at December 2 Dismember? Let's fucking do it!
The crowd roars to life. Cheers and yelling. 'One more time! One more time!' chants echoing around the arena. Raven's face unchanging, still pointing down the ramp way.
Raven: Make no mistake, J2H. You ain't facing the delusional, nonsense talking broken messiah. You ain't facing The Forgotten Alexander Raven, no. You're getting the man who tore a fucking trail through the best of the best. The man who put down every god damn king who was put in his path. You want me to earn your respect? You got it man. Just be ready for when the Napalm Kingslayer burns your ass to the ground."
Raven drops the mic, his nostrils flaring. The edges of his mouth twitching. Focused, angry and ready to fight. His music hits once more, the crowd on their feet. Cheering, clapping and chanting. 'Napalm Kingslayer! One more time! Napalm Kingslayer! One more time!'
Raven climbs through the ropes, slapping hands with the fans as he slowly makes his way back up the ramp and backstage.
The camera drops back to see SCW World Heavyweight Champion, J2H with the SCW World Heavyweight championship over his shoulder as he sits on a sofa in front of a big television screen. The camera moves to the front of him and he smiles.
J2H: Of course I'm here Alexander, I'm J2H and I've come all the way here to talk for just a few minutes because that's just what champions do.
He smirks.
J2H: So it seems like my name has been in a lot of people's mouth but no one has come down and knocked on my door and picked their spot. First off, who the fuck let Teddy Warren back in the building?
J2H looks disgusted.
J2H: You know the man can't be within a mile of me without pissing his pants! Teddy, you might want a match with me but not even I would buy a fucking ticket to see you back in the ring, let alone against me.
He shakes his head.
J2H: And you Goth, seems like you've turned tail and run away like the little old bitch you are with your mental breakdown, so I'm just gonna sit here and talk about you Alexander.
He slowly claps his hands for a couple of seconds.
J2H: Congratulations for doing something this fucking roster doesn't tend to do and watch the whole show because you heard what I said and you picked a spot, well sort of anyway. Maybe you just got beat up too much in that match of yours and couldn't work out what you wanted to say, but it seems like you have the balls to step on up, you just couldn't figure out when. You could have gone full excited puppy and took me on next week, but you left the option open.
J2H rubs his chin.
J2H: I guess I'm just gonna have to be Daddy and make that big call. I don't know who this Forgotten Alexander Raven is, and that will probably upset you and send you in to a spiral on social media, I'll even send you a bottle of booze to help you do that, but I don't give a fuck who The Forgotten is, I don't give a fuck if it's him, I don't give a fuck if it's the Broken Messiah, I don't care if it's an ugly ginger bastardized child of the both of them, but December 2 Dismember, that main event spot that I love so much, J2H Vs some cheesy nickname Alexander Raven... This belt and my respect on the line. I'll see you then.
He stands up and walks off camera, but his voice can still be heard.
J2H: Can some dickhead in the truck put up a graphic or something....
World Heavyweight Championship
J2H (c) v Alexander Raven
The scene opens backstage with the former Bombshell World Champion walking down a hallway away from cameras as they try to catch up with her. She already has her bag over her shoulder, and is checking her phone like she had no intention of staying for the remainder of Climax Control. However, rushing down the hallway to make sure that she doesn't slip away into the night without explaining her actions is Scott Oliver, microphone in hand.
Stoner: Court, could you wait just a second for a couple of questions…?
He is almost out of breath, and from his tone of voice he definitely expected to be told to go to hell, but Court instead turns to him with a smirk on her face.
Court: I guess that I can humor you.
Scott seems stunned by the fact that Court wasn't going to make it difficult for him to do his job. The two of them never had pleasant run-ins backstage, especially when the former champion was in a mood like she was seen in early tonight.
Stoner: Well, with your automatic Bombshell World Championship rematch behind you, it seems like you have set your sights on Ariana--
The smirk fades from Court's face, and she waves a hand at him before cutting him off.
Court: Correction: Ariana set her sights on me. I didn't lose my rematch, it was taken from me by someone who should have known better than to put her dumb face in my business. I thought breaking her nose last time would have taught her that lesson. Apparently I was wrong.
The former champion turns to walk away, but Scott pushes his luck by asking a follow-up.
Stoner: …so does that mean that after tonight you two are back to even, at least in your mind?
Court turns back with a shrug.
Court: All I was doing was putting her back in her place. I k--
Ariana: Oh hey there bitch!
Scott barely has time to get the hell out of the way before Ariana spears Courtney from the side and the two women reignite their brawl from earlier, security pour in to try to break them up but their attempts prove futile as Ariana and Courtney are brawling with too much ferocity with their brawl eventually spilling out onto the entrance ramp, heading towards the ring.
Simone: I thought the animosity between those two was bad before Ariana cost Courtney the title last week but now? It's volcanic!
Adams: I think we're going to have to get the national guard down here to separate them!
The two women reach the ringside area where Courtney manages to break away from Ariana via a rake to the eyes and manages to take Ariana's title from her before retreating to the ring where she mocks Ariana with the title in hand whilst security surrounds Ariana.
Simone: Now that's just not right! The Bombshell Internet Title belongs to Ariana, not Courtney!
Adams: I don't think Courtney cares!
However Courtney is so caught up in posing for the crowd that she doesn't see Ariana break away from the guards and head to the top rope until it's too late and Ariana levels her with a Top Rope Spear!
Simone: Cooking In The Air Tonight!
Adams: Courtney is out!
Ariana seems satisfied as she retrieves her title, but then shakes her head as she picks up Courtney.
Ariana: You humiliated me earlier! Now it's time I returned the favor!
Simone: What's Ariana talking about?!
Adams: I think we're about to find out!
ARIANA HITS COURTNEY WITH THE OVER-N-OUT!
Simone: WHOA! Courtney just got hit with her own finisher!
Adams: I'm sure Kris Ryans will have a lot to say about this!
Ariana covers Courtney and makes the three count on her own to drive the point home before raising the title above her head as she stands up.
Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall!!!
"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, waiting for the match to begin with a fiery look in her eyes.
Justin: And her opponent!!!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

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.
Justin: Standing in at 5'10 and weighing in at 125 pounds!! Seleana Zdunich!!!!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as we see Jacob Summers tell the two Bombshells that he expects them to wrestle a clean fight, the two circle each other as the taller Seleana Zdunich tries to get the first blow in by executing a spinning kick towards Bobbie as the smaller yet stronger female tries to get closer towards her opponent.
Simone: What a difference in styles and size between these two is going to make it an interesting match Jason.
Adams: Indeed Belinda, normally speaking you would expect Seleana to be one of the strongest woman on the roster, but not tonight!!!
Bobbie nods her head, circling the taller woman before she steps forward once more, again Seleana tries to keep distances with another spinning kick. Only this time Bobbie manages to grab hold of the leg as she pushes Seleana into the turnbuckles before letting go off the leg and grab hold of the waist before executing a Belly to Belly suplex out of the corner before going for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
Seleana manages to get her shoulder off the canvas before rolling out of the ring and take a breather.
Adams: That was one vicious Belly to Bobbie Suplex!!
Bobbie plants her hands on her knees as she watches Seleana walk around the ring towards the steel ring steps, taking her time to capture her thoughts before stepping inside the ring. She circles Bobbie, picking up her pace as she is planning to work on the much stronger competitor's cardio as she tries to strike and run while Bobbie tries to get her in her clutches. Seleana sidesteps an attempt when bobbie thought she had cornered Selana, causing the larger man to drive a knee into the lower back before executing a spinning Kick that connects across the chin of Bobbie. This causes Bobbie to stagger backwards as Seleana runs the ropes and comes off the ropes with a running clothesline. Shocked that the move didn't put down Bobbie only staggers her. Seleana then turns to a picture perfect standing dropkick that connects to Bobbie as this drops the smaller woman on her back. Seleana immediately goes for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
Bobbie bench presses the smaller opponent, causing Seleana to get up and kick bobbie in the spine before locking in a reverse chin lock in an attempt to wear Bobbie down and cut off the oxygen to the brain.
Simone: Seleana Zdunich needs to use quick tactics to get Bobbie down and then wear her out when she is down!!!
Adams: Very true Belinda, but it will take much more than this to keep our number one Bobbie down!!!
We see Bobbie try to get to her feet in a slow and methodical way, wrapping her arms around Seleana as she goes for a Back Suplex that causes the hold to be relinquished upon Bobbie. Bobbie slowly gets to her feet and runs the ropes before coming off the ropes and set herself up for a running Splash, but Seleana moves out of the way as we see Bobbie crash upon the canvas. Seleana quickly gets to her feet, notices that Bobbie had rolled over on her back as she prepares herself for a Standing Moonsault before going for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
Bobbie kicks out, Seleana grabs her by the arm and drags Bobbie towards the turnbuckles before sprinting towards the opposite corner as she sets herself up for a running knee into the face of Bobbie. Only to have Bobbie shockingly explode out of the corner with a big time Lariat, that sends Seleana to be send inside out with a 360 before coming crashing down upon the canvas as the fans are ecstatic.
Adams: Good Grief!!!
Bobbie picks Seleana by the head, lifts her up before setting her up for a big Slam before running to the ropes and comes down hard on the ribs of Seleana with a splash. She hooks the inside leg from Seleana as Jacob Summers starts to count for the count of three.
ONE!
TWO!
THR….
Seleana gets her shoulder off the canvas as she grabs hold of her ribs, coughing a few times while trying to catch some oxygen back into her lungs. Bobbie grabs Seleana by the arm and pulls her up to her feet before locking the bigger Seleana in a massive Bearhug, trying to squeeze hard on the painful ribs as Seleana tries to use all of her strength to break the grip that Bobbie has on her. Grabbing both hands of Bobbie, pulling the grip away from each other with lots of difficulties before Bobbie wraps her arms around the shoulder area behind Seleana's neck and executes a Full Nelson Bomb before going for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
THRE…
Simone: Good Grief!! Bobbie just showed her strength and her inventive nature to adapt in a match!!
Bobbie picks up Seleana and sets her up for a Body Slam, only to have Seleana somehow manage to slip out of her grip and pushes her into the turnbuckles. Seleana charges in on her and executes a splash into the turnbuckles as this causes Bobbie stagger backwards as Seleana runs the ropes and comes off the ropes with a Cross Body Block, only to have Bobbie catch her in mid air before putting Seleana on her shoulders before going for a big time Samoan Drop that gets people jump out of their seats and start a holy shit chant.
Adams: Wow!!!
Bobbie goes for the cover as Jacob Summers goes for the three count
ONE!
TWO!
THR….
Seleana manages to get her shoulder off the canvas as Bobbie pulls her up to her feet, whips her into the ropes and sets her up for a Spine Buster, drops Seleana hard on the canvas before going for the cover
ONE!
TWO!
Again Seleana gets her shoulder off the canvas before the count of three has been administered as Bobbie drags her towards the corner as she starts to climb the second turnbuckle
Adams: Boobie Bomb is coming!!!!!
Bobbie sets prepares herself to drop the Splash off the ropes but stops as she notices that Seleana had rolled out of the ring as she manages to stand on her feet as she leans upon the ring apron. Bobbie slides out of the ring and grabs Seleana as she whips her into the steel barricades before charging in on her for a Bronco Buster against the barricades but Seleana manages to move out of the way at the final moment.
Simone: Good Grief!! Just the thought of Bobbie hitting that move would have been the end of Seleana!!!!
Seleana shakes off the cobwebs, realizing how lucky she was to have been able to have moved out of the way before Bobbie could have connected with her. Seleana pulls herself up by the guardrail, turns her attention towards Bobbie who has fallen down to the ground in an awkward way as Seleana slowly walks towards the steel steps and then decides to turn around and jumps off with a splash off the top part of the step on top of Bobbie before crawling towards the ring as Jacob Summers has reached the count of six. She manages to slide in and out of the ring to break the count and force Jacob to start all over again while turning her attention towards Bobbie. Grabbing her by the arm as she slowly drags her towards the ring apron, where Bobbie suddenly pushes her stomach first into the ring apron before wrapping her arms around her waist after spinning her around for a Belly to Bobbie suplex on the concrete floor as she sits up. She glares over the fallen body of Seleana Zdunich before grabbing her by the arm and rolls her back in the ring before following her back into he ring. There Bobby notices for the crowd that she has enough, dragging Seleana back into the corner of the ring and climbs the second rope once more.
Adams: Bobbie bomb is coming!!!
Bobbie bounces off the ropes and comes crashing down upon the now helpless body of Seleana Zdunich, Jacob Summers drops down to the canvas and starts to count for the count of three
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match by Pinfall!!! Bobbie Dahl!!!!
Jacob Summers grabs the arm of Bobbie Dahl and raises it in the air as she celebrates the victory before rolling out of the ring as she heads to the back.
Bombshell Roulette Championship
Alexandra Calaway (c) v Bobbie Dahl
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Aussie Bombshell Krystal Wolfe leaning against a wall with her arms crossed.
Krystal: Since my first full year as an SCW Bombshell, I've made a habit of declaring that the following year will be the Year of the Wolfe, 2022: lost the Bombshell Roulette Title under bullshit circumstances and wasn't even considered for the title match at that year's Blaze of Glory, instead I had to make do with trying to drag something out of a past her prime Evie Jordan, is it any wonder why we haven't heard a peak from her since?
Krystal shakes her head.
Krystal: About the only good thing that came from that week was that it was the same week as my marriage to Makayla, a marriage that I practically flushed down the toilet in my quest to secure a better future for not only my wife but my three daughters as well, and I don't think I need to point out how that ended.
Krystal frowns as she flips some hair over her shoulder.
Krystal: Here's a hint, it's the whole reason why I've been on a Path To Redemption for the past couple of months, a path that I'll continue to well into the New Year at the rate we're going! But speaking of the New Year? Do I have any resolutions?
Krystal shakes her head again.
Krystal: For god's sake, my twenty seventh birthday is next week, why the fuck am I already thinking about that?! Oh yeah, not to mention little events like Christmas and December 2 Dismember IV that are happening right before the year ends! I know I shouldn't get too far ahead of myself especially in a sport like wrestling but at the same time? I learned one thing when I was the Bombshell Roulette Champion, I need to stay one step ahead of everyone else to succeed in SCW.
Krystal lets out a deep breath.
Krystal: The fact that I've yet to recapture the magic that was my 2021 hasn't gone unnoticed either, but I can guarantee you this SCW, 2024 will be the year when things turn around for the better for me, I don't care how long it will take or how much effort it will take on my part, by this time next year? I'll be known for more than just being the Australian Bombshell who set new records in the Bombshell Roulette Division that have yet to be matched in the two years since she held that division's belt , the winds of change are blowing and I will be the face of the next generation of Bombshells.
Krystal walks off as the scene fades.
The ringside area comes alive as sirens ring out through the air. Red and blue lights flash on the audience members. The fans look excited, but also confused until "Amazing" by Hi Fashion behind playing. The older fans begin booing as the Mean Girls burn book logo flashed on the screen. We then see Kandy Kaine in the spotlight to the left of the ring. She is dressed as a sexy police officer, clearly a clearance costume from Spirit Halloween. She waves and bounces up and down. Matty Mallow is right next to her, in an identical costume and a breast plate to fill out the top. He looks mildly uncomfortable. Kandy doesn't even notice.
Kandy: Hello everyone and welcome to a long overdue edition of Fashion Police! Mean Girls return, sha!
Matty: I mean no offense to anyone dressed like this. Holly Wood said something about giving a piece of pearl jewelry if I didn't wear them, so…
Kandy: Soooo… I tried for years to be a Mean Girl, and finally back in Honor Wrestling, they caved and made me a member. Though they laughed s little too much when they said it, buuuuut…
Kandy shrugs her shoulders.
Kandy: Anyway let's start hanging out tickets, shall we?
Kandy looks around her and married her eyes at a woman dressed in short shorts and s crop top clearly dressed for comfort. Kandy walks over to her.
Kandy: Well, well, well… what do we have here but our first infraction! You decided to come here?
Kandy moved in closer as her voice gets louder.
Kandy: Dressed like this?!?
Kandy's eyes grow wider as she moves in menacingly. She pulls out a notebook and clicks her pen with authority. She scribbled on it, ripping it out and handing it to her.
Kandy: You make me sick… with jealousy because that violation I'd too hot to trot! If you got it, flaunt it, sister.
Woman: But this ticket is a movie ticket to see The Marvels tomorrow…
Kandy: Mmm hmm… Enjoy it because you earned it.
Matty: Justice is served! Puff Pow!
Kandy looks around again, spotting her next victim. A man in a shirt that is one size too small. He looks around before pointing to himself. He sinks down as Kandy saunters over to him.
Kandy: Seriously? You're gonna walk around in that shirt and expect NOT to get a ticket?
Man: It shrunk in the wash, and…
Kandy: Did your mother dress you…? Because she nailed it! Dad bods are all the rage. so you're getting a ticket.
Man: it's a ticket to see Chad Michaels next week. Who is Chad Michaels?
Matty: Don't you dare blasphem Chad like that! First class Cher impersonator? You don't deserve the ticket!
Matty turns away and crosses his arms over his fake chest. Kandy pats the man on the shoulder before spotting the next victim. A non-binary individual in a purple dress and a Killers T-shirt. Kandy shakes her head.
Kandy: Don't you know that being authentically you is bold? You are working it, child! And your hair is perfection, like cotton candy… fierceness!
Kandy scribbles on the pad before handing it over. They squeak happily.
They: Britney tickets! Oh em gee thanks!
Kandy: Oh don't thank me. Just doing my job, courtesy of the meanest mean girl. Back to the action…
"Amazing" plays over the speakers again as Matty pulls the breastplate out to let his chest breathe. The crowd circled around them as we go back to the night's action.
The camera returns to ringside where referee Jasmine St. John stands inside of the ring.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following special added attraction is for the Bombshell Internet Championship!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Introducing first -- the challenger!
The heavy beat of Halestorm's "You Call Me a Bitch Like It's a Bad Thing" kicks up over the sound system and the heads of the SCW Universe turns towards the entrance as the Bombshell amazon Tempest walks out onto the stage.
Justin: Coming to the ring! From Honolulu, Hawaii, weighing two hundred and eighteen pounds -- Tempest!
The fans are in awe at the size of Tempest as she wastes no time in power walking straight to the ring, her eyes never straying from her destination and paying no mind to the fans reaching out toward her. A perpetual frown on her face, she arrives at the ringside area where she climbs up onto the ring apron and straight inside of the ring. Tempest stands in the center of the ring, her arms held out and turns full circle before moving to her corner.
Justin: And her opponent...!
The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued...
Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she is the reigning and defending Bombshell Internet Champion! "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!
The camera focuses on the entrance stage -- but the music continues only nobody emerges through.
Simone: Well, where is she?
Justin: She is the Bombshell Internet Champion! Ariana Angelos!
Again, she is introduced but again, Ariana does not make an appearance!
Adams: Hel-LO Ari!? Tick tock!
In side of the ring, an impatient Tempest brushes past Justin to speak with Jasmine who shrugs with her arms out, pointing towards the entrance.
Adams: Tempest wants to know where the champion is and Jasmine doesn't have the answer...
Simone: Wait, something is going on backstage! Quick! Get a camera back there!
A camera is right there in the backstage hallway, just outside of the famed gorilla position to find all hell breaking loose! Courtney Pierce, the former World Champion, is throwing Ariana Angelos everywhere! Courtney heaves her up against the wall and grabs her by the hair and slams her head into the wall, before flinging her back and to the floor! Ariana staggers to her feet and tries to get away but Courtney is all over her, clobbering her from behind and sending her to the floor!
Adams: Oh it looks like the former World Champion is making Ariana pay for sticking her nose into her rematch against Julianna!
Simone: But at the expense of this championship match!
Ariana starts to swing as Courtney comes after her, throwing right hands to fend her off and the two women end up standing up and exchanging lefts and rights! Ariana tries to slam Courtney's head into a table but Courtney blocks the attempt and with a free hand, grabs a can of soda and slams it upside of the champion's head, sending the contents spraying everywhere!
Simone: Oh my - someone needs to break this up!
Ariana falls back against a luggage crate to which Courtney grabs her hand and sets it in the open crate and she SLAMS the lid down onto Ariana's hand!!!
Adams: Bloody hell!!!
Ariana screams and clutches her hand as an enraged Courtney starts to throw fists again but security arrives, too little, too late! They grab Courtney and restrain her physically and she opts to kick at Ariana who clutches her hand in agony as Pierce is dragged away! Paramedics rush onto the scene as does Francisco, Miles Kasey, HBCarter and others to help!
Adams: Oh my god! We knew Courtney Pierce was not going to take Ariana's interference last week just laying down but DAMN!
Simone: Suffice to say it does not look like this title match is going to be happening! Ariana Angelos will be damn lucky if her hand wasn't just broken!
The medics and those closest to Ariana are still on the scene as the champion is being tended to as the closing credits slowly begin and the shot fades out.
THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for this show!
