The crowd is alive with energy inside of the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The camera scans around the capacity crowd, cheering and waving while holding up signs for their favorites.
Banners heralding this the 400th edition of Climax Control can be seen everywhere across the Kia Forum! A spotlight begins to shine and the crowd cheers as ring announcer Justin Decent steps out onto the stage. The handsome exhibitionist jogs out to the ring, slapping hands to the fans who reach out to him.
He is handed the microphone by Jason Adams as he runs up the ring steps and climbs inside of the six-sided SCW ring and walks around, pumping his fist in the air to the tune of the crowd's chants;
"Welcome back Gabriel!"
"Congrats on 400 Climaxes!"
"I'm Caleb Storms's Gay Stalker!"
"Team Gummy Bears 4Ever!"
"My husband can't even get me to ONE Climax!"
"WTH isn't Kris Ryans booked!?"
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Justin then hops up onto the corner turnbuckle and smiles, looking out around at all of the fans filling the seats around the arena. He drops back down and takes his place in the center of the ring and brings the microphone up to his lips.
Justin: Hello everyone and welcome to the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California and welcome to Sin City Wrestling "Climax Control"!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Now please help me welcome the Hostess With the Mostess for "Climax Control" -- Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The crowd cheers as Amanda struts out in a black lace halter top, mini skirt bottom and high heels with heavy makeup and a beehive wig ala Marge Simpson. Amanda has her microphone up and the song begins.
Amanda: I didn't realize how dead this club would be
I live for truth and beauty but there's room for change
You claim you stole my heart
I swear that I have
Is beauty just skin deep?
And now I finally
F-U-fugly-G-L-fugly-Y
I don't make frequent trips out here to BFE
But you found my weakness:
Drinks for free
I hope nobody sees you leave this place with me
It's shameless but it's true
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
I'm faithful to myself but I could use some strange
And strange is precisely
The term for you
You'll be a two at ten but you're a ten at two
Congratulations, dude
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
There's a crime but it isn't theft
I guess tonight you're Mr. Right
'Cause everyone else has Left
Never been a sellout for an easy score
Unless you count last weekend or the week before
I don't want beer goggles
Those still see
Instead I need a full tequilabotomy
And you should get one too
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
Well, your skin destroys that myth
How much Patron makes me think you're hot?
I'll have to plead the fifth
Understand why hookups all occur at night
It's easier to find a place devoid of light
Don't take it personal
When I ask
Would you please put on this Freddy Krueger mask?
It helps improve my view
You're homely but I'll sleep with you
F-U-fugly-G-fugly oh my
F-U-fugly-G-L-fugly-Y
F-U-fugly-G-fugly oh my
The song comes to an end and Amanda 'curtsies' and blows kisses to the cheering crowd before she heads backstage and vanishes behind the curtains.
The camera then transitions to a closeup shot of the ringside area, panning all the way around until it arrives at the broadcast table with Belinda Simone and Jason Adams!
Simone: Hello everyone and welcome to a night where history is in the making!
Adams: History has already been made, Bel! We made it! We made it to four hundred shows!
Simone: Indeed we did as we are here at the Kia Forum to celebrate four hundred editions of Climax Control! Tonight, stars of both past and present will be on hand here in California in this the final stop in the Road To Summer XXXTreme XII tour!
Adams: I can't wait for some of these matches! Some we haven't seen inside of the ring in years!
Simone: And the night kick starts with Bombshell action when Prudence Pierce, accompanied to the ring by Courtney, faces off against Erika Moore in singles competition!
Adams: In a match between the past and the present, Caleb Storms finally gets the match he wants as he goes up against the man who will challenge Peter Vaughn for the Internet title - Helluva Bottom Carter!
Simone: There are tensions in members of the wedding parties of the upcoming nuptials of Miles Kasey and Carter, and Carter has taken steps to get it all sorted out by going to Christian Underwood to book the first-ever Wedding Gown match between Bella Madison and Ariana Angelos!
Adams: THEN we have a legends match between two former Superstars as Hall of Famer and Grand Slam Champion Kain returns to face the former Roulette Champion Travis Levitt!
Simone: Then in perhaps the most unique match in SCW history, the wildly popular tandem of Despayre and Candy both make their in-ring returns for this one special night to face the husband and wife team of Bea and "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart in the first-ever Candyland mixed tag team match!
Adams: Then "The Great One" Roxi Johnson makes a one night return to face the first-ever Grand Slam Champion and maybe her only equal in the Bombshell division – Mercedes Vargas!
Simone: Casey Williams immediately put his name on the dotted line for this one night as soon as he heard about the grandiose celebrations for the night, not caring who he faced as he issued an open challenge! And it was none other than the first-ever World Champion Gabriel who answered that challenge! It's a battle between the SCW originals, both of whom were on the very first Climax Control!
Adams: Then in the Main Event! Miles Kasey and Alexandra Calaway finally get their opportunity at tag team gold, guaranteed to them by "Queen" Victoria Lyons! They face the champions Kayla Richards and Finn Whelan for the titles!
Simone: All this and MORE as we celebrate Climax Control FOUR HUNDRED!
Adams: WHEEEEEE!!!
The scene opens backstage, where we see the office door of Christian Underwood as we see a hand reach forward and knock on the door.
Voice: Enter
The camera pans around and we see SCW legend and Hall of Famer Amy Santino, as she grabs the handle and pushes the door open to see Christian behind his desk as he looks up and a smile appears across his face.
Christian: The prodigal… daughter… returns. What do I owe this pleasure?
Christian frowns wondering if that is the correct saying.
Amy: Nice to see you Christian…. And I am just visiting old friends and help celebrate the 400th show.
Amy smiles before continuing.
Christian: Shame… can't persuade you for one more match tonight?
He queries.
Amy: As much as I would love to… I am just visiting and wouldn't want to tread on any toes. But I do have an idea that I like to run past you.
Amy queries this time, as Christian leans forward…
Christian: And what would that be?
Amy turns to the camera...
Amy: You out! It wouldn't be a surprise otherwise.
The camera slowly back away all the while keep Amy and Christian in view until the door slowly closes. The scene fades out on Christian's office door.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Krystal Wolfe pacing around.
Krystal: I'm not even booked for this show yet the idiot who cost me last week gets to stink up the joint in the opener while her wife searches for her lost relevance by serving as her manager? Fucking joke!
Krystal shakes her head.
Krystal: Ruby? At Summer XXXTreme I'll make you wish that you had fucked off forever after your arm was broken, count on it!
Krystal walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: This match is scheduled for one fall… introducing first… Hailing from London, England…. Ruby Pierce.
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 Steele emerging from the curtain. She is clad in a sparkling ruby glow in the dark jacket. She isn't alone as her wife Courtney Pierce emerges through the curtain with her. 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 blows kisses to the crowd before she bounces about waiting for the match to begin. Meanwhile Courtney stands out of the ring grabbing Ruby's jacket as she waits for her wife to wrestle.
Justin: And her opponent… hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee… Erika Moore…
The arena was filled with the excited and vibrant fans. All of which were waiting for the next scheduled contest of the night. "Country Girl" by Savannah Dexter began to pump into the speaker system of the building. The hip hop beat had the crowd in attendance bopping along with the music. A very positive response coming from those in their seats. A shot cut over to the entrance way as the curtain could be seen being brushed aside. Stepping out from behind that curtain was Erika Moore. The sweetest smile crossed over the tattooed beauty's lips. Taking her cowboy hat and tipping it to the crowd as she was being acknowledged by them with cheers. She then began to make her journey down to the ring, bouncing back and forth across both sides of the guardrails in order to slap hands with the fans. "Introducing at this time. Coming from Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Country Girl herself: ERIIIKKAAA MOOOORRREEEE!" The shot cut back over to Ms. Moore as she reached the ringside area. She reached up, taking the cowboy hat off her head before placing it firmly on the head of a child in the front row. Keeping a smile across those red painted lips. She then dashed towards the ring and slid under the bottom rope hopping to her feet right away. Ms. Moore made her way to the corner climbing it to the second turnbuckle and began to blow kisses out to the crowd. About that time her music began to fade out. That was her cue to jump down and begin to focus on the match at hand.
The ref moves in and checks both for weapons before indicating for the match to begin…
DING DING DING!
Moore moves from the corner, however, Pierce rushes forward and tries for a running boot but Moore sees it coming and dodges it and then leaps up and grabs Pierce and hits a double knee lung blower, Pierce crawls away rocked from it and slowly moves towards the ropes, while Moore makes her way back to her feet. Pierce grabs the ropes and pulls herself up as Moore charges in but Pierce dodges away as Moore crashes into the corner as Pierce makes her way back to her feet and does half a circuit of the ring building up speed and charges at Moore and hits a yakuza kick. Pierce smirks as Moore slumps down to the middle rope, as Courtney claps in approval, as Pierce removes her leg from the top rope before moving to the nearest corner as Moore slowly rises back up and as Pierce rushes forward, Moore moves from the corner and hits a step up enziguri and catches Pierce.

She looks to hit another kick, but Moore recovers enough to catch Pierce with an enziguri.
Pierce holds onto the ropes, but slowly exits the ring and to the outside where she reels from the kick, while Moore turns and bounces off the ropes and charges forward and as Pierce stands upright and turns and she is met with a suicide dive. Pierce is driven backwards against the barriers, as Moore stays on her feet before walking forward and looks over her shoulder before climbing onto the apron and back into the ring. However, before she takes any further steps, Pierce has quickly shaken off the suicide dive and the previous kick and grabs Moore's feet and pulls and forces Moore to fall forwards. Pierce spins Moore around but Moore continues to spin herself around and delivers a kick to the side of Pierce's head.

Moore pushes Courtney away and grabs her sister and rolls her back into the ring, as she climbs onto the apron and then moves to a corner, where she climbs the turnbuckle to the top and as Pierce makes it back to her feet, Moore leaps off and hits a missile dropkick and sends Pierce back down to the mat.
Simone: Courtney checks on her wife but fails to see Moore winding up and preparing to hit another suicide dive.
Adams: Courtney and Ruby climb to their feet and meet a suicide dive from Moore.
Simone: Moore gets back to her feet, where she shoves Courtney away and grabs Ruby and throws her back into the ring. Moore doesn't go back in and instead climbs the turnbuckle to the top and then leaps off with a missile dropkick.
Moore then crawls over to Pierce and goes for a pin…
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
Adams: She then goes for a pin but Pierce kicks out.
Pierce kicks out, as Moore climbs back to her feet and Courtney suddenly climbs into the apron, as she shakes off Moore's aerial attack and aim's a tirade of insults at Moore as the ref moves in and yells at Courtney back off or she will be ejected from the ring. Moore distracted by Courtney, this gives Pierce an opening and she stands to her feet and hits a running dropkick and Moore stumbles forward into the rope and bounces off them as Pierce makes it back to her feet and rushes the ropes and bounces off them and hits a slingblade. She then goes for a cover…

DING DING DING!
Justin: Winner of this match via pinfall… Erika Moore.
Moore's music hits over the p.a, as she climbs off Pierce as the ref raises her arm in victory, while Courtney grabs Ruby and pulls her from the ring.
Cameras found themselves backstage and focused on a door with the name CHRISTIAN UNDERWOOD plastered across the nameplate. All of the sudden the door came swinging open as Jayden Harris came walking out of the room. His facial expressions said more than enough. He wasn't in the best of moods. Before he could go any further he was cut off with an appearance from Ms. Rocky Mountains. As soon as he saw her, Jayden rolled his eyes.
Jayden Harris: What is it with you people? Do you just stalk me as soon as I get in the building or what?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You wish you were that special sweetheart.
Jayden Harris: No, what I wish for is your people to leave me the hell alone. No matter how many times I make it clear week to week that I don't want to talk to you. You all continue to bother me.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Aww you poor thing. You'll get over it or you won't. Either way we have a job to do.
The scowl that consumed his face for that brief moment. Not too thrilled with what he would have considered 'mocking' but before he could say anything she continued.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I see you're coming out of Mr. Underwood's office. Care to disclose the conversation that was had between the two of you?
Jayden Harris: It wasn't productive at all. The jackass has such a hard on for all my old man did. He's just determined to fucking handcuff me to failure.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I think you might be misinterpreting...
Jayden Harris: No, the hell I'm not. That clown is still making me find a tag partner. I don't need nor want a tag partner. I can do this shit on my own. It's just beating down a couple of pussies.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: The numbers game is a real thing. Look at what they did a few weeks ago. I'm sure he's just trying to look out for your best interest.
Jayden Harris: They really got everyone drinking the delusional kool-aid around here huh?
He shook his head.
Jayden Harris: What happened a few weeks ago. It's irrelevant. It's in the past and it's something I expected from two men that lack a set of nuts. But like I said I can do this on my own. I don't need anyone's help. Yet here I am in a dumb ass position.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Well, what are you going to do? If you can't find a partner. Rumor has it the match won't be taking place.
Jayden Harris: Yeah that's what those two want. Deep down they're afraid of what's about to happen to them. That's why they're thrilled that I'm being shackled to finding a tag partner. But that match is happening. One way or another. It's going to happen!
There was a certain look of determination in the man's eyes as he started to storm off. Clearly nothing more to be said as far as he was concerned. Ms. Mountains was seen standing there shaking her head about a little bit. Before the cameras cut elsewhere.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control where we see Caleb Storms leaning against the wall with a grin on his face.
Caleb: Carter, I've been looking forward to this match since Into the Void and you'd better believe I'm giving this my all! And as for the cruise? I'm not missing it for the world.
Caleb says before kicking off the wall.
Caleb: See you in the ring Carter, and good luck!
Caleb walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: Our next match pits the former Roulette Champion Caleb Storms against Helluva Bottom Carter.
Simone: Oh how I love watching Helluva Bottom Carter wrestle as he has the most interesting personality and great wrestling talent. Add to the mix that he has a shot at the Internet Championship against Peter Vaughn at Summer XXXTreme XII and you have a hot mix.
Adams: Whatever gives you hot flashes Belinda. I tend to enjoy wrestlers like Caleb Storms who is a good all-around wrestler and he never backs down from anyone.
Justin: First to make his way to the ring, he is from Syracuse, New York, and he comes into this match at six feet two inches and two hundred twenty pounds, please give a great Inglewood, California, welcome to "THE METAL STORM" CALEB STORMS!!!
The opening scream for the song "TEST YOUR METAL" by Unleash The Archers is blasts through the speakers in the arena. The lights start flashing across the arena before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp and he receives a mostly positive reaction from the crowd. Caleb makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as he makes his way to the ring. When he arrives at the ring he slides into the ring, gets to his feet, then he throws up the metal horns as he waits for the arrival of Helluva Bottom Carter to come to the ring.
Simone: The Metalhead Caleb Storms is not as exciting and fun to watch as Carter is. At least Carter can bring enough excitement and great wrestling moves, holds, and maneuvers, to this match to keep the match interesting.
Adams: You are overly biased today Belinda. Dang!
Justin: Next to make his way to the ring, he is from Seattle, Washington, and he comes into this match as five feet nine inches and one hundred seventy-two pounds, please give a great Inglewood, California, welcome to "THE HARDCORE BOTTOM" HELLUVA BOTTOM CARTER!!!
5 Seconds of Summer's hit "NO SHAME" erupts over the speakers in the arena and the crowd turns to the stage where Helluva Bottom Carter dances out onto the stage amidst the cheers of the SCW Universe! Clad in his favorite Ostrich jacket and sparkling lavender shades over his eyes, Carter bows and sweeps at the waist, blowing a kiss eliciting a great reaction from the crowd. Carter then takes off and he runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. Carter then crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner where he pulls himself up and removes his shades and jacket, passing them out to the ringside attendant before laying across the top corner, staring across the ring at Caleb Storms, while waiting for the match to begin.
Simone: Oh, my, Helluva Bottom Carter gets my heart fluttering! I am so excited that he has a shot at the Internet Championship against Peter Vaughn at Summer XXXTreme XII.
Adams: You may wish to visit your Cardiologist to make sure it is not a heart problem rather than you having a crush on Carter.
Simone: Ooooo!!! You are jealous!
Adams: No jealousy here Belinda.
Referee Dawn Barnes calls Caleb Stores and Helluva Bottom Carter to join her in the center of the ring. She informs them that their match is Standard Rules and a win is obtained by Pinfall, Submission, or Count-Out. Referee Barnes pats down both wrestlers to ensure they have no foreign objects or substances on them. Satisfied both wrestlers are clean she tells them to return to their corners and when they hear the bell from the Timekeeper to officially start the match that they are to come out fighting. Both Caleb and Carter return to their corners to await the bell from the Timekeeper.
DING DING DING!
This match is officially underway and Caleb and Carter come out of their corners and they crash into each other in the center of the ring and they immediately start trading blow with both of them standing their ground and not backing down. After trading blows with neither getting the advantage over the other Caleb Storms turns away from Carter and he runs to to the ropes where he rebounds off the ropes and charges at Carter. However when Storms is charging Carter we watch as Helluva Bottom Carter runs to the side where he rebounds off the ropes and he is charging hard at Caleb. When Storms sees this he charges to the ropes to rebound off again and we have a back and forth crisscrossing of the two wrestlers rebounding off the ropes. As both wrestlers come off the ropes and they approach each other in the middle of the ring it is Carter who do a slide hitting a sweep kick to the legs of Caleb Storms and that trip drops Storms hard to the mat. Helluva Bottom Carter quickly goes for the pin while firmly hooking the legs of Storms. Referee Barnes drops and begins her count on the attempted pinfall.
ONE!
TWO!
Immediately after the two count by Referee Barnes we watch Caleb Storms get his shoulders off the mat to stop the count at two. Carter stands up and waits for Storms to get off the mat and upright again.
Adams: Caleb got caught by the trip while both wrestlers were rebounding back and forth off the ropes. That often happens when two wrestlers are crisscrossing the ring like that. Fortunately for Storms it was only a two count on the pin attempt.
Simone: That quick reaction by Helluva Bottom Carter was great and it proves he has great ring presence knowing where he is at all times and which moves or maneuvers he needs to use at the right time.
Both wrestlers are on their feet and they lock up and vie for an advantage. Caleb pushes hard against Carter and due to having a height and weight advantage over Helluva Bottom Carter we watch and Storms uses his height and weight to move Carter back until he is backed up against the corner ropes. Caleb uses the advantage to land several forearm smashes to the face and upper body of Carter. Storms goes further by placing his feet on the corner ropes which causes him to tower over Helluva Bottom Carter and then Storms starts landing punches to the head of Carter. This causes a BREAK order from Referee Barnes as closed fist punches are not allowed. Referee Barnes orders Storms to get off the ropes and to back away from Carter who is in the corner. Caleb Storms has no way to argue with the Referee so he backs off a distance while Referee Barnes checks on Helluva Bottom Carter.
Simone: Well, Jason, what do you think about Caleb Storms now? He should know that closed fist punches are illegal and even more so when you have your opponents stuck in one of the corners of the ring.
Adams: I think all wrestlers suffer from that thing Belinda. The match is moving quickly and next thing they know they get called out by the Referee for something that is against the rules of their match.
Seeing that Helluva Bottom Carter is okay Referee Dawn Barnes gives the signal that the two can get back into the action of the match. The two start trading blows again and then Carter turns away from Storms and Carter quickly runs to the nearest corner where he quickly makes his way to the top ropes of the corner. As Caleb Storms is approaching him Helluva Bottom Carter dives off the top ropes in the corner toward Caleb Storms. Unfortunately, for Carter, as he is coming down to slam into Caleb storms is able to catch Carter on the fly and then Storms spins and slams Carter hard into the match and with his full body weight on top of Carte and he hooks one of the legs of Carter for the pin. Referee Barnes drops and begins the count on the attempted pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Referee Dawn Barnes is about to deliver a third count but Helluva Bottom Carter gets a shoulder up to stop the count on the attempted pinfall.
Adams: That was so close to a win for Caleb Storms.
Simone: Closies only count in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades but we are in a wrestling match.
Storms confronts Referee Barnes and he complains that had she started her pinfall count sooner he would have won the match over Helluva Bottom Carter. Referee Barnes informs Caleb Storms that SHE is the assigned Referee for this match and that her calls on the action are final. Storms continues trying to argue with Referee Barnes but she stands firm and Storms lost his complaint. When Caleb turns around he is quickly hit with a Spinning Heel Kick from Carter. Caleb drops to the mat and as Carter approached he lunges at him and lands a hard head butt into the body of Carter. As Carter doubles over Storms stands back a ways to wait for Carter to stand up straight. As soon as Helluva Bottom Carter is upright Caleb Storms spears him driving him into the mat. Storms attempts a pin but Carter maneuvers so Caleb cannot try for a pinfall. Carter gets up and leans back into a corner while Storms is a distance off of Carter and Storms remains back a distance glaring at Carter.
Adams: Not sure what is happening right now except maybe a stare-down.
Simone: I got the same feeling.
Both Storms and Carter start trading hard forearm blows on each other while Referee Barnes stays close to the action to ensure the blows landing are legal. As the two continue trading blows both wrestlers are tiring a bit. Storms grabs Carter and spins him around to where his back is to him and he executes an Atomic Drop. Storms then turns Carter onto his back and then Caleb quickly climbs to the top of the corner ropes and he leaps off with a Moonsault. An instant before Storms is about to land into Carter we watch Helluva Bottom Carter roll to the side and instead of Caleb landing the Moonsault onto Carter he instead slams hard into the mat. From the look on Caleb's face and his movements it is clear that he got hurt on the missed Moonsault.
Adams: I think that missed Moonsault is going to be the ending of this match for Caleb Storms.
Simone: I told you that you should not underestimate Helluva Bottom Carter.
Helluva Bottom Carter stands over Caleb Storms and he taunts Storms by twerking at him. After having fun taunting Caleb with his twerking he then executes a Standing Moonsault landing hard into Storms. Helluva Bottom Carter quickly goes for the pin while hooking both legs of Caleb Storms. Referee Barnes makes the pinfall count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
This match is officially over and Referee Barnes tells Helluva Bottom Carter to get up off of Caleb Storms and he does so. Referee Barnes tells Carter to stand next to her until after the official announcement of the results of this match.
Justin: The official decision on this match, by Referee Dawn Barnes, is the winner of this match, by pinfall, is HELLUVA BOTTOM CARTER!!!
Referee Barnes raises the hand of Helluva Bottom Carter for the win much to the delight of the majority of the fans in attendance. Referee Barnes then releases the hand of Helluva Bottom Carter and he steps through the ring ropes and starts his return trip into the backstage area giving high fives and shaking hands with the fans. After Helluva Bottom Carter returns into the backstage area we return our focus to the ring where Caleb Storms is getting to his feet and he is being told he lost the match by pinfall to Helluva Bottom Carter. Storms slowly makes his way out of the ring and then he slowly returns into the backstage area.
Adams: I cannot argue or complain about the results of this match. Helluva Bottom Carter again proves why he continues to be a top wrestler in Sin City Wrestling.
Simone: Thanks for the kind words about Helluva Bottom Carter. I am not taking away from the fact that Caleb Storms is also a good wrestler. It just happened that the missed Moonsault was the item that set Storms up for the loss.
As Carter pulls himself to his feet after that epic match, you can see that he's worn out. He leans on the ropes, pulling himself together... as a man can be seen sliding into the ring behind him. He jumps to his feet, rearing back towards Carter.
Adams: Look out!!
Carter can't turn around in time, as Peter Vaughn blasts him hard across the back, sending pieces of shrapnel flying everywhere!!
Simone: That was one of Peter Vaughn's old favorites, his barbed-wire broomstick!
Adams: Those never held together that well...
Carter drops to his knees, hurting from the strike, as Vaughn throws away the remains of the old relic. Smiling, he reaches into his coveralls, pulling out another item, this one some sort of device.
Simone: What does Vaughn have there?
Adams: Whatever it is, I can still see the price tag dangling from it!
Vaughn raises up the device, aiming it for a second, as Carter fights to his feet... only to take a taser shot right to the chest!!! Carter, electrified, gasps out a yell, his arms and legs shaking as he falls through the ropes and tumbles out to the hard floor outside!! The crowd is booing Vaughn heavily now, as he looks around them with confusion. He points down at Carter, yelling out that he started it, before Vaughn steps through the ropes after him.
Simone: Vaughn is on the warpath right now, getting some revenge after Carter ambushed him last week!
Adams: You've made your point, Peter!
Vaughn doesn't seem to think so, however. He walks over to the timekeeper, looking around his desk, as the timekeeper leans backwards, afraid. Vaughn just reaches over, though, picking up one of the mics that are stashed back there.
Peter Vaughn: Mind if I borrow this?
The timekeeper tells him to go ahead, so Vaughn takes the mic and walks over to the still-struggling Carter, standing over him for a second as if to talk... but then Vaughn just brings the mic down multiple times onto the back of Carter's neck!!! The bangs through the microphone echo throughout the arena, as the crowd is absolutely losing their minds at what's happening.
Simone: Someone needs to step in here, Vaughn's hitting Carter with everything he can find!
Adams: Yeah, first his barbed-wire broomstick, and then... wait a second... something old... something new... something borrowed... and something...
As Vaughn yanks Carter's head up off the ground, he pulls the mic closer to their faces, so that he can be heard.
Peter Vaughn: I just... wanted... the traditions... to be continued, HB... hope you... appreciate this... when you wake up...
Vaughn then reaches into his coveralls, popping out... a small blue spray can!! Before anyone can stop him, Vaughn turns the can onto Carter's head, spraying blue paint onto his hair!! Security is trying to intervene, but Vaughn pushes them off, managing to spray one more time. That's when the crowd starts cheering, as Miles Kasey begins racing down the aisle!!! Hearing the crowd reaction, Vaughn smiles and drops Carter, moving to the other side of security, as Miles comes running in. He stop, glaring at Vaughn, who just shrugs, still holding the microphone.
Peter Vaughn: I hear it's fashionable these days. Enjoy the nuptials. And tell HB that I'll be seeing him at Summer XXXTreme... for the last time.
Vaughn drops the mic, moving away, as Miles turns his attention to Carter, trying to get him help as security moves all around them. Carter has a few drops of blue paint dripping down his forehead, as we cut away from the scene.
We see Ms. Rocky Mountains standing in front of the office door of Christian Underwood.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I have been told that Mr. Underwood has been on the phone making some deals overseas. He is going over the final details over a returning superstar! Once he gets off the phone I hope to get a word with…
The door to Underwood's office cracks open. We see someone in red but just half of her body as she turns to look at Christian as he says.
Christian: Enjoy the show.
The woman nods, we can tell by her ponytail is moving up and down. The woman looks at the door as she closes it behind her. The long-time SCW fans pop as they see former Elder stable member multi SCW Tag Team Champion Song.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I was going to get a word with Christian about the returning wrestler. Is this you Song? Are you back with SCW?
Song waves to the camera for all the fans.
Song: Hi, long time no see you know!
A good portion of the fans mock Song like the good ole days.
Crowd: You know!
Song: Mr. Underwood was on the phone with Master Lilly. She wanted to make it too the show but was stuck taking care of things in Foshan.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Anything interesting they may have talked about?
Song: Yes, they needed to get some clearance out of the way so that Song, that me.
Song says all cheesy.
Song: can return you know!
Crowd: You know!
Song: As of now, I'm here to enjoy the show not take any air time from those who have worked hard to be on this milestone of a show… 400 BABY!!!! That's Awesome you know!
Crowd: You know!
Song: Here is all I will say for now. SCW will book me as soon as they see fit. But I'll at the next show to take up as much air time as Mr. Ward will give me, which has always been as much as I want so I expect it to be the same YOU KNOW!
Song says in a laughing matter.
Song: But for now, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of the show! Go SCW!!!!
Song bows the camera before making her way to a private area to watch the show.
As soon as the cameras had made their way to the backstage area. Right in the view stood familiar faces in Calvin Harris and Guy. The two were engaged in some type of conversation.
Calvin Harris: I've made up my mind. Tonight is the perfect time to make that kind of announcement. I've tiptoed around it. I haven't said yes or no. But I need to just tell the fans.
Guy: Psht, your decision is a silly one. Doesn't make sense! Don't make me snitch on you and call your sexy ass...
Calvin Harris: Dude! I'm going to ring your neck!
Guy: Well! Don't make me call her. You're not...
Before he could finish his statement. The loud mixed reaction leaning towards the booing side could be heard. That had everything to do with Jayden Harris approaching both men with a bag of Doritos in his hand.
Guy: Huzzah! My best friend!
Calvin Harris: Thank god. You found someone other than me.
Guy: No, you're my best friend too. Throuple of best friends!
Jayden Harris: Yeah, we're not friends, Freak. And whatever this is... It's twenty twenty four. You're allowed to do it. But you and I need to talk.
His eyes were zeroed in on the former champion, Calvin.
Calvin Harris:: We do?
Jayden Harris: I didn't stutter.
Calvin Harris: No, you didn't. But last time I checked my mother passed and I don't speak to my old man. So, I'm confused by who the hell you think you're talking to like that.
Jayden Harris: Don't let your fragile ego. Write a check your fragile body can't cash.
Calvin's eyes quickly narrowed with irritation while looking at his nephew. Jayden chucking a couple of those chips into his mouth before continuing.
Jayden Harris: That being said, I know that you dig sitting at home and being a useless bag of shit. But, I am being forced into something I ain't happy with. And as much as I wish we weren't family. We are. So, I need a tag partner. Time for you to step up and make yourself useful.
Calvin Harris: You can't be serious?!
Guy: Yiiiiis! King Guy loves it! The Harris Boyz! Your King is making it happen!
Calvin Harris: You don't have the authority to do anything anymore!
Jayden Harris: Quit arguing with your boyfriend. Let's go to the ring and make this stupid thing official.
Calvin Harris: No.
As soon as that word came out of his mouth. Jayden's eyes quickly began to narrow with a little bit of rage. Clearly not the answer he was expecting.
Jayden Harris: Excuse you?!
Calvin Harris: Look at who is hard of hearing now. My answer is no. I'm not teaming with you.
Jayden Harris: And why the hell not?!
Guy: Hey! Hey! Let's think about this. You wouldn't have to do what you were talking about. Good chance to get back out there.
Calvin Harris: No, I'm not teaming with him. And as far as why? I don't believe I have to explain myself on the reason. But just so we're clear. Your father made my life a living hell when I wanted to get into this business. He didn't make things easy on me when training me. Not to mention the dirty underhanded things he did to me throughout my career.
Jayden Harris: Learn to grow a pair and get over it. It's in the past. No point in being bitter about it your entire life.
Calvin Harris: Easy for you to say. But now suddenly family means something? Now all of the sudden I'm meant to look past everything that's been done to me? And now I'm meant to help because his baby boy needs something? Nah. You're on your own kid. Sink or swim, that's how I was taught.
Jayden Harris: You're going to regret that decision.
Calvin Harris: I highly doubt that and before you go picking a fight with me. Maybe you should learn to handle the ones you've already started.
The tension between the two was very apparent as they stood there staring each other down for a few seconds. Jayden finally scoffed at the whole ordeal.
Jayden Harris: Whatever. Don't need you holding me back anyway. Weak ass ankles couldn't go anyway.
Calvin Harris: Yeah keep running your mouth. It won't be long before someone else punches you in it.
Rolling his eyes at the remark. Jayden found himself turning around with the intention of walking away, but before he did. Guy shouted to grab his attention.
Guy: Waiiiiiiiit!
Jayden Harris: What do you want now, freak?
Guy: Your King will be offering...
That sentence was quickly interrupted with Calvin grabbing a hold of Guy from behind and covering up his mouth. Muffling those words that he was trying to say.
Calvin Harris: Yeah, that's a no too. He ain't helping you either.
Jayden Harris: I wouldn't have accepted anyway.
Right then Jayden turned back around and continued to walk off down the hall. Once he was out of sight Calvin let go of Guy's mouth causing the squirrelly man to spin around towards him.
Guy: You don't speak for your King!
Calvin Harris: Trust me... I saved you on that one.
He shook his head some as Guy looked more than a little confused by the statement. Nevertheless the cameras found themselves cutting away from the pair and headed elsewhere to catch some more of the action.
The scene opens backstage at Climax Control 400 where we see Ariana Angelos leaning against a wall.
Ariana: Climax Control 400, the in ring return of my mentor Gabriel Stevens, and I'm stuck wrestling a strip match against Bella.
Ariana grunts.
Ariana: Thanks bestie! I'm sure Hayley Hasley from two years ago would've loved you for this! But me, I'll focus on getting the win no matter what!
Ariana walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: The following is a wedding gown match. Where the winner is the woman who can rip the wedding gown off her opponent introducing first
The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak over her wedding gown with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd..
Justin: Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, "The Greek Goddess" Ariana Angelos!
Ariana spins around right as the song kicks into high gear with the opening lyrics, she poses for the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring before rolling into the ring and removing her cloak ready for her match.
Arena goes dark as the ominous tones of New Years Day's "Shut up" begins to blare. The entrance lights up as does the video screen that shows, climbing up a set of stairs we see with each step taken a different footwear. Saddle shoes followed by heels followed by Chuck Taylors followed by a pair of wrestling shoes with kickpads …..under her wedding gown..The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing her wedding gown along with a ring jacket with the hood up and starts making her way to the ring. Towards the end of the chorus she hops up on the ring side and climbs to the second rope, drops the hood of the jacket with a smirk and a wink as the song fades ou
Justin: Now in the ring standing 5 foot five and weighing in at 125 poindsfrom New York City New York Bella Madison
DING DING DING
The bell rings two signal the start of the match. Both women stop for a moment and look across the ring at one another laughing at how ridiculous they both look about to wrestler match in wedding gowns. After the initial shock of the situation subsides Bella and Ari move around the ring stalking each other. Bella measures Ariana up and shoots forward ducking down but unable to complete the move as the wedding gown is restricting her legs. Bella instead stops and stands back up looking down at the gown and shaking her head.
Ariana rolls her eyes and then without warning steps forward and hits a hard right hand right to the side of Bella's face. Bella hold her cheek and licks scenes side of her lip before laughing and giving Ariana a receipt. The two women then shrug and grab each other and what can only be described as a wedding hockey fight. Both women grabbing and chlorine at each other hitting hard right hands while simultaneously trying to grab a hold of any loose piece of fabric to give it a pool and strip the other woman of the wedding down. After a few moments neither can get the upper hand and Bella leaves up planting both her feet into Ariana's chest and kicking her back with a dropkick. Bella lance hard on her back before rolling backwards over her shoulder and back up again
Adams: Here we go. A wedding gown match. I honestly thought we left these kind of things back in the early to mid 2000 but here we are at climax control 400 reliving our past glories. And I use glories in the most ironic sense possible
Simone: Why have you got to suck the fun out of everything? Yeah this isn't a technical masterpiece but it's just a bit of fun. And last time I checked wrestling was supposed to be fun
Adams: Wrestling is fun. But it's 2024 not 2004.
Bella grabs Ariana and pulls her up to her feet while trying to yank at the ropes on the corset part of the gown. Ariana realises what Bella is trying to do and throws her right elbow back connecting to the side of Bella's head. Bella drops to one knee and Arianna hits the ropes before jumping into the air and hitting a single leg dropkick to the side of Bella's face. Bella rolls from the ring and gets to the floor area before Ari pops up and tries to run and throw herself between the top of middle ropes with a suicide dive. The only problem is she can't get enough my mental wearing the wedding gown and Dad gets caught in the ropes. As she hangs there on the middle rope Bella looks up and hits a hard palm thrust right to the side of Ariana's head.
The sound of Bella's hand hitting Ariana echoes through the arena. Bella slides in and goes right back to work on the gown. Ariana though slides between Bella's legs and pops to her feet before hooking her arms around Bella's midsection. Ariana picks Bella up and throws her backwards with a German Supplex slamming Bella on the back of her neck in the centre of the ring. Bella is dazed and Ariana pops up grabbing the bottom of Bella's gown trying to pull it up over her head. Bella stumbles to her knees and then up to her feet with the gown halfway over the back of her neck and head allowing Ariana to slam in a few hard right hands. Again looking more like a hockey fight than a wrestling match with wedding gowns.
Bella shoves Ariana backwards and pull back down before throwing her head forward and hitting Ariana square in the jaw with a head bot. Ariana drops to her knees, dazed and confused before looking up at Bella who hits the ropes and jumps up hitting a shining wizard. Ariana stares up at the lights and Bella pops up before grabbing the bottom half of the gown and pulling. The gown tears and Bella is able to get off the petticoat and dress part of the gown. This has a negative effect for her as Ariana is now able to move her legs. Ariana throws her legs up and kicks Bella away before popping up and leaping in the air hitting a picture perfect dropkick
Simone: These two are going at it
Adams: Yeah no matter the rules or stipulations they really do go at it
Bella sits up and shakes her head, Ariana is able to get on top and start raining down hard right hand before grabbing a hold of Bellas gown and trying to get it off again. Bella is able to kick Ariana away and get to her feet before hitting a hard shot right to the stomach and she goes for a DDT, Ariana grabs a hold of Bella's wrist and twist out of it before whipping her across the ring, Bella hits the ropes and Ariana goes for clothesline Bella docs on it and as Ariana turns around she throws herself forward meeting Bella in the middle of the ring with a beautiful spear. As they both go down Ariana rolls over slides across and goes right back to trying to get the gown off of Bella. She grabs hold of the bottom half and starts to pull doing the exact same thing to Bella that she did to her ripping the bottom of the gown off..
Simone: We're halfway through here. Both of these women has been able to get the bottom parts of the gowns off. But I think that works to their advantage now they can actually move
Adams: They both look annoyed right now. Bella wants to take Ariana's head off and vice versa,
Brlla kicks Ariana away, she gets to her feet and as Ariana steps forward Bella is able to hit a hard forearm with her right hand another forearm with her left and then a third forearm with her right, she steps back and runs forward hitting a Yakuza kick right to Ariana's face. Bella reaches down and grabs the remainder of the gown trying to rip it off, Irena sits up and grabs Bella's leg tripping her over before standing up and grabbing Bella in a front face lock. She goes to lift her up with her implant DDT but Bella kicks her legs and panda on her feet, she reaches up and grabs a hold of Ariana and drops straight down with her pancake. DDT called the ashes to ashes. Ariana hits hard and Bella is able to hook her arms around the gown and with one final pool rips it right off Ariana..
Simone: Bella did it!
Adams: Ariana is out! The gown is off!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, Bella Madison!
Camera had just left the ringside area and found themselves backstage. In particular, they found themselves focusing on none other than Christian Underwood. Within a couple of steps he was approaching his office door that had his name on it. Twisting the door hand and letting himself in but very quickly stopped in his tracks. Taking notice to his chair turned around with clearly someone sitting in said chair.
Christian: Well...! It seems security around here is sorely lacking. They let just about anyone backstage now a days!
As soon as he spoke. The chair spun around to reveal the rather smug expression of the two-time SCW Heavyweight Champion, Michael Harris. The instant reaction from the crowd was very negative. All that seemed to do is cause him to smirk while getting that glaring look from Christian. Finally, he spoke up and broke the silence amongst them.
Michael Harris: Long time no see eh?
Slowly, he rose from that chair he had been sitting in. Sliding it out of his way as he looked Christian right in the eyes.
Michael Harris: You know I have thought long and hard about what I would say to you the next time I saw you face to face. After all, having almost a year to think about something. To stew on something. To have an obsession about something can really have both positive and negative effects on someone's brain. Now when it comes to you in particular. It leans more on the negative side. Which, I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
Christian: That is certainly putting things in a diplomatic way. But try not to let it go to your head or anything. I feel that way about most people. Not just SCW's resident DILF who clearly has anger issues and trouble admitting to ever be at fault. You know -- for anything.
Christian raised his brow questioningly.
Michael Harris: Mmhmmm... Now not to seem like a badass or anything. My history already speaks for itself with that one. But with that being said. I could have easily blindsided you the moment you walked through that door. I could have left you in a pool of your own blood. We've seen me do it to people in the past and as far as I'm concerned. It would be more than well deserved after you took everything from me. Taking MY World Championship. Ending what was one of if not the BEST run I was having of my career. And outright EMBARRASSING me for your own self gratification. Because let's face it pal. That's exactly what it was. It was all to make you feel good for a change.
Christian: Well actually it was because you attacked a female referee and all because you lost to Carter. But sure, let's play the victim card because we all know that's what narcissists do so well. And be honest, Michael. You are nothing if not a narcissist.
Christian snaps his fingers and smiles.
Christian: Oh, and before I forget, let me remind you of what happened the last time you thought you could take a cheap shot with me. I think it was you who got restrained and pinned face first on THAT very desk.
Christian points at the desk Michael Harris was standing at. Hearing the words that escaped the mouth of his former boss. Only resulted in Harris letting a very passive-aggressive roll of his eyes consume him briefly.
Michael Harris: Riiight, whatever you want to tell yourself. But I know the truth. However I felt a conversation between us needed to be had. You know something to put ease to your mind. I didn't do what I could have done. Because it's in the past. It's behind me. I've moved on. I won't ever forgive you for what you did, but in hindsight it doesn't matter anymore. When I made the decision to retire back in December. I was at peace with everything. And knew there was no point in holding any grudges.
Christian just stands there, staring at Michael as if waiting for more to be said until he shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders.
Christian: I'm sorry but if you're waiting for glowing words of support or applause, this is not Alcoholics Anonymous. So if you could hurry this along? We have a ratings crash to avoid now thanks to you...
The tension between the men was still very clear with some of the words being spoken. Harris had now begun to make his way around the desk that he had been sitting behind. Once he was at the front of it, he just leaned against it for a moment.
Michael Harris: I'm not an idiot like people would like to believe I am. I knew when I picked up the phone and Mark offered me a chance to host Summer XXXtreme this year. I knew it was going to be a problem for you. I knew it wasn't going to make you happy. All types of thoughts, worries, concerns, and feelings went through your skull. Can't say that I blame you for that. But I wanted to be the one to let you know. Man to man. Face to face. I've truly let bygones be bygones. I didn't agree to host with any hidden agenda.
Quite the judgemental look overcame Christian's face. Harris on the other hand seemed to be rather relaxed. With both those tattooed arms folded across his chest.
Michael Harris: I'm not hosting with the intention of doing something evil. Doing something underhanded. I'm not hosting because I want something out of the deal or hosting because I'm going to use it to weasel my way back into the fold somehow-someway. Nah, that's all behind me. I don't carry a grudge. I have no desire to get physical. No desire to get in the ring at all. All I want to do is have a fun night. Give back to the Sin City Wrestling fans. See my kid compete against a couple of scumbags. And end my chapter here on the most positive note that I can.
Pushing himself off the corner of the desk. He made a couple more steps towards Christian. Until he was standing face to face. Eye to eye contact being made. His smug smirk didn't fade, but he spoke up.
Michael Harris: I am never going to apologize for anything I ever did. Because, I don't see myself as wrong. And you have to do what you have to do to get ahead in this business. Nice guys always finish last. But I will tell you to your face. I'm a man of my word. I am here to be the host for one night. Nothing more. Nothing less. You can trust me on that.
Standing there face to face. Harris slowly extended his right hand out in the direction of Christian. Keeping his smirk plastered from ear to ear while patiently waiting. Christian stares at the hand as if waiting for the tense moment to pass them both by until he finally yields and accepts Michael's grip in his own.
Christian: I hope you're telling me the truth. Otherwise I am having that ship set sail for the nearest deserted island an we're leaving you AND your son there!
For a second or two longer there was that intense staredown between the two men. Before the self proclaimed Greatest Alive found himself starting to walk past Christian headed for the door. As he reached it, Harris stopped and looked over his shoulder back at Christian.
Michael Harris: Oh and before I forget. Congrats on four hundred episodes.
His smirk remained across his lips before he walked out the door, closing it behind him. A brief close up shot of Christian was shown before the cameras found themselves cutting elsewhere.
Andrea Hernandez finds herself in the hallway and she's in a pretty good mood. Still, she's not having too much fun and she's not basking in the glow of her win last week too much. She does hear some cheers from the audience and that does have her in a good mood as she begins to express her thoughts.
Andrea: Last week felt great. It definitely felt like to some degree, there was some closure. I'm glad that things between Seleana Zdunich and I are all well and good now because that was definitely one of my bigger regrets from the last time that I was here. That match I had against her and the mending of bridges wasn't the only significant thing that happened however. I found out about the match that I am going to have at Summer XXXTreme. Now, my history there is a mixed to not so great bag, if I can be honest. I've been on that cruise ship twice, but this is going to be the first time I am going to be on that in three years. The first time? Let's not talk about that. That's when things got worse for me during my summer of hell.
The last time was when I beat Samantha Marlowe and….
Andrea sighs for a bit.
Andrea: That's another person that I kept wronging and bullying and making fun of. Yeah, even with all of the good things that happened with Seleana, there is still a long way to go. Now, when I heard that I had a match on the cruise, when you consider it started with Krystal and then continued with Seleana, naturally, I was thinking "here we go again" with Crystal Hilton. Then I found out that it was going to be a triple threat with Diamond Steele and Kallie Reznik.
Okay… random… but alright…
I've never met Kallie. From what I hear, those that like her, REALLY like her, and those that HATE her, hate her with a deep passion.
Diamond on the other hand….
Yeah, there's a bit of history there… and I wouldn't call it good history…
BUT, on a night like this, I'm doing what I can to not focus on the negative. I mean, putting aside all of the bullshit, I have had a very strong career in spite of everything I've been through and in spite of myself if we're being honest. As someone that spent 2021 undefeated throughout the entire year, just wrestled her 50th match in SCW, is one win away from 40 wins altogether… when you consider that the stats don't lie and I even won 18 matches in a row at one point… on this occasion? There's plenty to celebrate and that's the…
Andrea suddenly gets interrupted by Cordelia Clark.
Andrea: What the hell are you doing here? Who would invite you?
Cordelia: The company.
Andrea: …okay…
Cordelia: You want to celebrate your career, but I have a moment that is worth celebrating… when… on Sin City Underground's last show ever, I beat your ass and you decided to run away from this whole universe for two years! No no no, it wasn't what's her face beating you for the Internet Championship that made you run away, it was ME! You treated me like dirt, like a piece of shit and luckily for you, you're not worth holding a grudge over especially when I got my revenge in the end and I beat your ass.
Andrea narrows her eyes with annoyance.
Andrea: So other than this year's Blast from the Past, on god's green earth gives you the right to be here?
Cordelia: Sin City Underground is a thing worth celebrating too and I was a very dominant figure at such a young age. Hell, I even wrestled on a High Stakes and won. I WOULD'VE been the Blast from the Past winner this year and probably be winning the SCW Bombshells World Championship on that cruise ship myself if the powers that be didn't rig the draw and have me paired up with a sack of shit.
Andrea: …you've got to be kidding me…
Cordelia: Oh shut up! Don't be a hypocrite! You used to bitch about that tournament too when they had you paired up with Bill Barnhart who was an upgraded Justin Smith. But don't worry, Andrea. No hard feelings. I'm even rooting for you on that cruise. We work with someone that looks like Diamond Steele on the other side of the country… and she's a far better wrestler by the way… inside joke between you and me… hint hint, wink wink… and Kallie…
She's a cunt. She's a two-faced, low down, passive aggressive bitch cunt! Please destroy her. Hell, maybe bring back the bitch that you were the last time you were here. After all, that was the best version of you. Or are you going to beg people for forgiveness? Or hell, maybe you'll be Crystal's bottom bitch again like the time you said "I Quit" the last time you wrestled a High Stakes match….
Andrea smacks Cordelia across the face.
Andrea: I'm so glad you didn't sign here after the tournament… idiot…
Andrea turns and leaves while Cordelia seethes with anger.
Cordelia: TRUST ME, after they screwed me in that tournament draw, the feeling is mutual. I wouldn't want to share a locker room with Kallie Cuntface anyway! Bitch…
Cordelia continues to seethe as the scene ends.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall -- and it is a Legends Match!
The crowd cheers for what is to come!
Adams: Oh boy! Ohboyohboyohboy!
Simone: Calm yourself, Jason!
The heavy guitar riff kick in through the PA and 'Essence of Datum' starts to echo around the arena. A small fog starting to slip from the stage, just as the music hits its first crescendo, from the back out stalks 'The Phoenix' Travis Levitt, and a few feet to his side is Valentina. The two pause at the top of the ramp, each sharing a look around at the crowd, before looking at each other. They share a nod, and then Valentina heads towards the ring with Levitt a step behind her.
Justin: Accompanied to the ring by Valentina! From Richmond, Virginia, weighing two hundred and fifty pounds -- Travis! LEVITT!!!
Reaching ringisde, Valentina goes for the steps, while Travis hops up onto the apron, standing up, and stepping onto the middle rope while pulling at the top rope to let Valentina in. Levitt hops over the top rope and into the ring himself, heading for the far side and staring out at the crowd, gauging their reaction, before slipping off his jacket and handing it to Valentina. Levitt then retreats to a neutral corner, getting a few last minute words of advice from Valentina before she leaves the ring, and Travis gets ready for his fight.
Simone: Travis Leviit! A former SCW Roulette Champion and without a doubt a future Hall of Fame inductee!
Adams: He's a big boy! He's looking forward to this match against a man like Kain!
Justin: And his opponent...!
As the crashing riffs of Metallica's Battery plays loudly on the speakers, Kain appears from the curtain, alone and unafraid. He walks down the ramp with a confident step, snarling with rage. He looks to his left and right, trash-talking to the fans, letting him know that he's ready for tonight and will do whatever it takes to win. As he climbs the steps, he laughs in their face and continues to boast.
Justin: Making his way down the aisle! From Detroit, Illinois! KAIN!!!
Stepping into the ring, he steps onto the center of the ring, raising his right fist in the air and looking straight at the camera as the pyro from all corners of the ring. Then he gets into his corner and looks towards the entrance ramp, staring silently at his opponent.
Simone: It is a rare thing indeed for Kain to agree to step back inside of the ring but when he does, we are sure to get a show and his opponents are sure to get a beat down!
Adams: No matter who they are! Kain is one of the first-ever Grand Slam Champions in SCW history! World Heavyweight! Roulette! Internet! AND World Mixed Tag Team!
Simone: The man has done it all but can he do it tonight against Travis Levitt?
Referee Jasmine St. John calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Travis and Kain circle the perimeter of the six-sided ring, it having been a number of years since either man set foot inside. Travis fires off a word or two, pointing between Kain and himself but Kain remains cold and stoic as always. The two stop their circling and move into the center of the ring for the initial lock up but all of a sudden, the rapid fire fist strikes made famous by Kain begin to be unleashed!
Adams: Whoa! Kain is not waiting to let loose the big guns!
Kain pulverizes Travis's body with rapid fire lefts and rights, driving him back into the corner! The moment that Travis tries to shield his midsection, Kain switches targets and lands a dangerous closed fist to his ribs instead! And when Travis tries to shield both, Kain lands an uppercut right beneath Levitt's jaw line, rocking his head back!
Simone: I think we all knew Kain would not waste any time in laying out the damage on Travis and he is going right to work!
Kain buries one knee, and follows up with a second, right into Levitt's midsection, further working over the already sore and tender area. Kain drags him from out of the corner and pivots, delivering a spinning back fist to the side of the head that knocks Levitt back against the ropes, stunned. Kain sends Travis into the ropes with an Irish whip but as Kain swings to deliver a clothesline, Travis ducks under the blow and comes off the far side and leaps, nearly splitting Kain in two with a spear!
Adams: DAYUM! Travis turned Kain inside out with that spear!
And straight away Travis pins Kain down and begins unloading with a number of forearm smashes to the side of the head, working his experienced opponent over! Levitt grabs the head of Kain and lifts him up to his feet and sends him into the ropes where he catches him with a Tilt-A-Whirl slam into an immediate cover, hooking the leg!

Kain looks at the referee and he protests what he perceives to be a slow count but Jasmine enforces that it was only a count of two. Kain then turns his attention back to Levitt as he lifts him to his feet and hooks him up for a suplex position. Kain goes for it, the first attempt is blocked by Levitt. Causing Kain to blast series of forearms across his back and once again goes for the suplex. This time he manages to lift Levitt up in the air for a few moments, before Travis counters and powers Kain up and brings him crashing down with his own vertical suplex!
Adams: The ring SHOOK on that one!

Jasmine is right there to check on Travis's condition and she takes his arm and raises it, but Travis clenches a fist and keeps it in the air! He does not go down! Travis then braces himself and stands once again, this time with Kain still on his back! Travis grabs him by the legs and runs back into the corner, sandwiching Kain but the Grand Slam Champion still does not let go! Travis then staggers from the corner and falls back, crushing Kain beneath him and forcing the break!
Simone: Well that is certainly one way to break that hold!

The crowd responds enthusiastically over the hard fight match between the SCW legends!
The capacity crowd watching the SCW-Tron from within Inglewood, California's Kia Forum immediately begins cheering with wild enthusiasm as Despayre is shown on the screen, front and center. The popular Superstar is busily preparing himself for his upcoming Candyland tag team match later this evening by, how else?
Playing with a paddle board, expertly bouncing the rubber ball up and down as his gray eyes watch carefully. That is until a much larger shadow falls over him. Despayre looks up and into the shot steps none other than Mac Bane! The crowd immediately cheers for the former World Heavyweight Champion and Hall of Fame inductee!
And Despayre? He loses control of his paddle and the rubber band breaks, causing the ball to fly off camera! There is a crashing noise, the sound of something breaking and a woman's scream! Despayre immediately pushes the paddle into Mac's hand and points at him to whomever is off camera. Mac barks a laugh as he tosses the paddle away and embraces Despy in a bear hug.
Mac Bane: I have missed you my friend.
Given the clear difference in height between the two, Despayre's legs are dangling as he calls out…
Despayre: ACK! Angel! Bite him! I'm being attacked by a cross between an anaconda and a burly mountain man!
Laughing as he spins around with his unwilling victim, Mac sets Despy back down and grins at him.
Mac Bane: Angel knows I love you guys.
He says as he ruffles Despy's hair. Despayre swats away Mac's hands from his hair and then points at the much larger man, giving him the finger wagging of a lifetime.
Despayre: You don't fool me! I was one up in the Great Prank Wars and you're just lulling me into a false sense of security! Why I bet you put a sign on my back! Oo how dastardly!
Despayre turns his back to Angel.
Despayre: Quick! What does it say on my back! …
Despayre pauses in wait and then blinks and turns to the teddy bear.
Despayre: Made in Taiwan? Really?
Still grinning from ear to ear, Mac pats him on the shoulder.
Mac Bane: He's read the tag on the back of your shirt. I didn't come to get even little friend. I do hear that a certain owner type has been a real stinker lately.So I thought this could be the perfect opportunity for us to team up against someone and give them what they so richly deserve.
Despayre shifts a side eye to Angel and then back to Kain and steeples his fingers ala Mister Burns.
Despayre: Interesting… Tell me more!
Further down in the hallway, in the business section and the location of the dressing rooms, one door in particular is marked "Christian Underwood". There is a hard rap on the door and a moment later, the door opens and Christian steps just outside…
Christian: Yeah? What do you…?
WOOSH! Before he could say anything else, a torrent of bright blue slime washes down from above, engulfing the boss man from head to toe! Everything comes screeching to a halt and heads turn to take in the scene of the Co-Owner standing there, covered in blue slime! Christian is shell shocked, frozen in place. He slowly reaches up and wipes a hand down his face and flicks his hair back before looking up – and spotting Angel on the rafter above his door with a tiny plastic pail dripping…
Christian then looks around and spots Mac Bane and Despayre down the hallway, seated in comfy looking chairs and eating popcorn. Despayre leans over and whispers to Mac.
Despayre: Gee he looks blue.
This was turning out to be quite the historic episode of Climax Control in celebration of four hundred episodes. The energy from the fans inside the Kia Forum could be felt. Then all of the sudden "Save Yourself" by One Ok Rock hit the speaker system. As soon as that theme began to play the crowd erupted into an explosion of cheers.
The camera switched angles right towards the entrance way as the curtain could be seen being pulled to the side with "The Highlight of the Night" starting to stroll onto the stage area. Calvin Harris had that signature smile on his expressions as he looked around at the cheering fans. He put his hand up in the air to wave to them all for a brief moment before starting to walk down the ramp.
Adams: We have seen Calvin a few times since he broke his ankle back in September, but this is the first time he's blessed us in this type of setting since that injury.
Simone: Earlier in the night he was in the back talking to Guy and it sounded like he was alluding to some kind of announcement. You think that's why he's coming out here?
Adams: It's the only thing that makes sense to me, Belinda.
From one side of the guardrail to the other, Calvin was slapping hands with as many fans as he could. Once he was at the ringside area, he reached out and grabbed the middle rope pulling himself up on the apron. As soon as he was standing up on the apron, he swung one leg through the middle rope and then brought his other end before standing up.
Taking a couple of steps towards the nearest corner. Calvin climbed it to the middle turnbuckle before raising both hands in the air. To another massive response from the crowd. His genuine smile remained before he stepped on down. Calling for a microphone with a motion with his hand. Justin found himself hopping up and running over to the side of the ring to hand it over.
Simone: I really wonder what this announcement could be. It'd be great if it was something about bringing him back into the fold here.
Adams: We don't need anymore of these people running around here. We have to deal with Jayden. That's bad enough.
Simone: Calvin proved last year he was much different than his uncle and surely different than Jayden. It was a breath of fresh air seeing the man live up to the potential he once did.
The music was starting to fade out as Calvin stood there in the middle of the ring looking around the Kia Forum for a couple of moments. Before bringing the microphone up to his lips addressing the SCW faithful.
Calvin Harris: It's been a minute eh guys?
Sure enough there was a loud response for the question. Those cheers are still pretty loud.
Calvin Harris: Let me tell you guys something. I've had all kinds of injuries throughout my career. I've been in a car accident that almost claimed my life. Had a crippling cocaine addiction at one point. Simply put I have been through a lot in the thirty five years I've existed on this planet. Yet somehow-someway the last ten months have been one of the hardest times I've ever dealt with.
Bringing his hand up in that black and blonde hair of his rubbing his scalp for a second. Finding himself pacing around in a circle.
Calvin Harris: Breaking my ankle at my age really made me understand my body in ways I hadn't before. Now, I did walk away from wrestling for six years and that's something I should have taken into account but I didn't. I thought I could do the same stuff I was doing at twenty four at thirty five. My ankle very quickly reminded me that wasn't the case.
He stopped pacing and found himself looking back up at the crowd.
Calvin Harris: It took a lot longer to heal than any injury I've ever had before. Going through surgery sucked. Not being able to walk and get around how I wanted sucked. Not being able to play with my kids. That really sucked. Having to rely on my wife in ways I had never had to before. That also really sucked. And not only did the physical aspect of things blow. Breaking my ankle really had an affect on my mental health. I was angry. I was upset. I was grouchy and there were many times I was depressed.
Finding himself leaning against the ropes while looking out at the crowd. He could see some of the faces of those fans up close and personal. They seemed to really be into what he was saying.
Calvin Harris: But I dealt with it. I fought hard to recover from the injury. Did all the rehab and what not. Then when I got cleared. I didn't pick up the phone and call Mark. I didn't call Christian. I didn't announce I was cleared or that I was coming back. I just didn't have the desire to come back. It took me months before I even stepped foot in a ring. Training my students. I stood on the outside and coached. Didn't even have the desire to mix it up with them to be a better coach and to make them better wrestlers. That should have been a telling sign.
He pushed off the ropes and turned to a different side of the ring to look at those fans.
Calvin Harris: Then when I did finally step into the ring. I could tell. Things didn't feel right. I could tell that I had lost a step. I could tell I wasn't what I was ten months ago. That bothered me and discouraged me more. Then the phone calls started coming in. You had Mark talking about my progress at a press conference. People wanted to see me back in a wrestling ring and back to doing what they thought I could do. But I didn't engage. I ignored the calls or just said I wasn't interested. And that's all because I am realizing that I just don't have it in me anymore. I am never going to be the wrestler I once was. I cannot in good faith get back in the ring if I can't compete at the best level. I won't do that to the people that support me. And I won't do that to myself.
There was a shift starting to take place with the crowd reaction. The rumblings were becoming clear and it appeared that they could tell something was on the rise. Something that they didn't care for.
Calvin Harris: Tonight is meant to be a night of celebration. A night of old and new stars coming together. A night where Sin City Wrestling is honored for four hundred episodes and I have been privileged to be a small part of all of that. However there's no good time to make this announcement. But I came here tonight to let you all know that I will be retiring for good!
As soon as those last couple words came out of his mouth. The crowd began to boo in displeasure. It wasn't what they wanted to happen. Calvin stood there for a second or two just standing around, letting them get it out of their system.
Adams: That's a surprise.
Simone: I don't think anyone expected that to be on their bingo card for episode four hundred.
Adams: Listen, I might not be the biggest fan of the family in general. But if he feels like he can't go anymore or compete on a certain level. Then you gotta respect the decision he's making.
The boos were a little louder. Calvin tapped the top of the microphone to try and control the situation the best he could. Bringing it back up to his lips.
Calvin Harris: Listen, I didn't expect you guys to be okay with the decision and I'm sorry that it's a decision I have to make but...
Before he could finish his statement. A very familiar voice could be heard shouting out at the top of their lungs: "HUZZZZZZZZZZZAH!" Leading to the attention turning to the entrance way where Guy could be seen walking out with Drew Patton at his side. Calvin rolled his eyes seeing Guy. It didn't take long for Guy to start walking towards the ring with Drew following close behind.
Calvin Harris: Dude, what are you doing? This is kind of important right now.
Guy: Yiiiis! Yiiiis this is an important moment, but not for reasons you're thinking or even saying.
Calvin Harris: Huh?!
Guy: As your best friend in the entire universe. Guy cannot allow you to make a foolish decision. In fact King Guy is overruling your decision!
Calvin Harris: Uh... that's not how this works. You don't get to overrule any decision I make and I don't know how many times I have to tell you. You're not King anymore!
Guy: Pffft! That's what YOU think my friend.
At that point the man in a cape was at ringside as he pulled himself up on the apron. Before grabbing the ropes and then springboarding over the top landing on his feet. Drew pulled himself up on the apron and stood there as Guy approached the Highlight of the Night.
Guy: You are thinking about things all wrong. You haven't lost a step. You're still one of the best wrestlers in the world. You've got so much left to offer. Guy is vetoing your decision to retire and announcing you're going to have a match right here right now. To prove to you everything Guy just said.
He had quite the smile spread across his expression. Calvin looking at him with a pu
led look, but the comments of the caped warrior had the crowd growing excited. Right away Calvin held his hands up to try and defuse the situation.Calvin Harris: Please folks. Don't listen to him. We all know Guy is a little off his rocker.
Guy: Nope! He takes his medicines like a good boy every day.
Calvin Harris: And that says all it needs to!
Standing there shaking his head a little bit.
Calvin Harris: Guy, I appreciate what you're trying to do. I truly do, but this is the best decision I can make. I feel it in my heart of hearts. I can't do this anymore. And I refuse to half-ass anything.
Guy: Nope! It's been vetoed. That's why Drew is out here. You're having a match right here, right now.
Calvin Harris: No I am not.
Guy: Yiiiiiis! You are and it's going to be against......... ME!
The crowd instantly erupted into cheers over the announcement. Calvin found himself in disbelief and shaking his head. Almost like he didn't know how else to get through to him. Again attempting to defuse the situation.
Calvin Harris: Don't do that to these people. I'm not going to wrestle tonight. I'm not wrestling you or anyone else. I'm not wrestling again. Look at me for crying out loud. I'm not even dressed to compete!
For a brief moment he showed off the outfit of the designer jeans with the Jordan elevens and the red fur coat he had on.
Calvin Harris: Again, I appreciate what you're trying to do but I'm not wrestling...
Before he could finish the statement Guy reached forward and SLAPPED Calvin across the face stunning the former champion for a second. Calvin held his bottom lip in a bit of shock as the crowd fell silent.
Guy: You will wrestle Guy. You will wrestle your King. Don't be a coward!
There was a little bit of a mixed reaction from the fans now. The otherwise beloved man was starting to tread on thin ice. Calvin looked up at him for a second or two before bringing the microphone back up to his lips.
Calvin Harris: I'm only going to say this once. Turn around and head to the back. We'll discuss what just happened later. But you're not going to stand out here and embarrass me in front of...
Again mid-sentence Guy swung his hand forward and connected with a second SLAP across the face. Calvin took another step back holding his lip.
Guy: I said...
That's when Calvin found himself shoving Guy back and forcing him to fall into the corner. Grabbing the ropes to prevent himself from falling. An odd smirk crossed the caped warrior's face when he got a response out of Calvin.
Calvin Harris: I don't know what the hell has gotten into you, but you want to do this that badly huh?! You want to really wrestle me right here, right now?!
Guy started to stand up out of the corner with his smirk growing. Nodding his head a little bit with the crowd reaction swinging back to the more positive side of things. Calvin taking a second or two to look around at the overwhelming response. Only to settle his eyes back on Guy.
Calvin Harris: Fine. Drew get your ass in here and ring the damn bell!
He responded by throwing the microphone out of the ring before taking a step back and taking off the jacket he had on tossing it out of the ring as well. Guy was beaming with excitement as he tossed his microphone out. Drew pushed down on the ropes before climbing into the ring taking the center of it.
Simone: Wait a second! This is really going to happen right now?!
Adams: It sure as hell looks like it. Guy slapped that man in the face twice! He really got under the skin of the Highlight of the Night.
Simone: In a weird way. I think Guy knew what he was doing. Like he knew this was going to trigger that kind of response out of Calvin.
Adams: Maybe so, but this might not end up going over very well for Guy.
Simone: As long as he gets his best friend to reconsider retiring. I think he's willing to take that on the chin!
Calvin was standing in one corner with his eyes zeroed in on Guy. Guy stood in the other corner just keeping that large smirk spread across his lips. Almost like it was a plan coming together. All of the sudden Drew motioned for the bell and it could be heard.
DING DING DING!
Right away both men exploded from the corner. Calvin with a little more energy with how annoyed he was but they met in the center of the ring. A very tight collar and elbow tie up taking place. Guy had a little bit of a height advantage over Calvin and he began to use that as he pushed the Highlight of the Night back towards the corner. Once he had Calvin's back against the corner Guy broke the hold and backed up as a sign of respect.
Adams: It wasn't very often we saw Calvin just be pushed around the ring regardless of how tall or big someone was. You can tell that confidence isn't there.
Simone: I'm not disagreeing with that, but you'd have to assume. As this match goes on. It's going to be like a fish in water. It'll all come back to him.
Adams: I don't think so. If he's truly saying he's done and he's lost a step. It's going to show. Why would all of the sudden things just fix themselves?
Calvin looked at him while shaking his head. It was clear this wasn't the situation he wanted to be in, but he had been backed into a corner literally and figuratively. Sure enough he came out of the corner again for a lock up. This time Calvin quickly got the upperhand with pulling Guy in for a side headlock. Guy responded by using both arms to wrap around Calvin's waist and take him back towards the ropes before shooting him off to the other side of the ring.
He hit the ropes and came back as Guy dropped down, but Calvin had it scouted as he leaped right over the man with a cape. He hit the ropes again and came back where Guy was waiting as he attempted a HIP TO-Nope! Calvin blocked it with his own arm before lifting Guy up for a HIP TOSS of his own and planted the painted face weirdo in the center of the ring. Guy held his lower back as he got to his feet and turned around only for Calvin to take the man down with an ARM DRAG rather fast like.
The arm drag sent Guy flying across the ring and then out of it from under the bottom rope. Instincts had to have taken over for Calvin, because as soon as he saw Guy stand up on the outside. He went and rushed towards the ropes to send himself across the ring as he dove through the middle rope with a SUICIDE DIVE slamming Guy up against the barricade. Calvin managed to land on his feet out of it as he looked down at his ankle with a bit of a surprised look.
Simone: Woah! Perfect suicide dive by Calvin!
Adams: Perfect? It was a little shaky and by him looking down at his ankle. I think that tells you all you need to know right there.
Simone: That wasn't a look of concern Jason. It was a look of surprise.
Adams: Yeah, surprise he didn't shatter it again when he landed on his feet.
Simone: You know sometimes you make being your broadcast partner a harder job than it should be.
Calvin reached down and grabbed a hold of Guy by his head and neck before rolling him into the ring from under the bottom rope before sliding in next to him. Right away making the cover as Drew dropped down for the count.
ONE!
KICK OUT FROM GUY!
Looking down at Guy, he could be heard saying out loud: "Don't do this Guy. Please don't do this." Before he grabbed a handful of the man's hair and pulled him up to his feet. Once they were on their feet Guy caught Calvin by surprise with a huge KNIFE-EDGE CHOP to force him to break the hold on him. Calvin held his chest as he stumbled back for a second. It didn't last long as he turned back to go back on the attack but Guy was ready.
Reaching out with both hands Guy stopped Calvin right in his tracks with a NIPPLE TWISTER one in each hand. Calvin was stomping his feet around the ring as Guy held on and really wrenched down on those nipples causing the Highlight of the Night to scream out at the top of his lungs. The crowd was finding themselves highly amused and letting it be known with some cheers and laughs. Calvin was trying to run away but Guy just ran with him keeping a hold of those nipples.
Adams: Uh, this isn't a technical hold. He does know that right?!
Simone: Hey! Drew is letting it fly. That's the official of the match. Who am I to pass judgment on what he considers legal and not legal?!
Adams: Cut the nonsense Belinda! You know a nipple twister isn't a legitimate wrestling move!
Guy then suddenly yanked down and broke free of the hold he had. Calvin turned around in pain favoring his chest from the assault he had just endured but turning around turned out to be a mistake. As Guy came right up behind him and scooped him onto his shoulders. Within seconds Guy began to spin Calcin around and around for a UFO. A reverse version of the airplane spin as Calvin could be heard shouting about. Before the spinning came to a sudden stop and Calvin fell off the shoulders to the mat.
For a moment or two Guy stumbled around the ring clearly a little dizzy from the spin. Once he was able to collect his balance. He turned around to see a dazed Calvin forcing his way up to his feet. Calvin didn't even have a chance to fully get his feet under him, before Guy grabbed him from behind and then lifted him up to plant him in the middle of the ring with a BACK TO BELLY SUPLEX driving the former champion down with some serious force
Simone: Guy has really turned this match around within seconds.
Adams: Well obviously. Calvin hasn't been in the ring in ten months. He wasn't even ready to compete and Guy sprung this on him. Someone that has been in the ring more recently.
Simone: Yes, what you're saying is true. But I think most people would agree that Guy isn't exactly your standard competitor. Kind of impressive to see him holding his own like this.
Adams: Again, it's against someone that has competed in almost a year. It's not that impressive.
Simone: It's moments like this I wish Guy was still king so he could punish you!
Inside the ring Calvin was favoring his back as he started to stand up and fall into the corner. As soon as he turned around he was blindsided by a YAKUZA KICK right to the face from the man that was supposed to be one of his closest friends. Guy stepped back as Calvin fell to his backside in the corner and this gave Guy another idea. As he turned and went running towards the ropes, Bouncing off them with force as he came back with a FACE WASH to Calvin in the corner.
His boot dragged across Calvin's face with force. Before he proceeded to grab a hold of Calvin's feet and dragged him out of the corner where he was flat on his back. Right away Guy then dropped down and hooked the leg of Calvin for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICK OUT FROM CALVIN!
For a second Guy just sat up and looked over his shoulder at Calvin with a smirk. It's like seeing his friend being able to keep fighting was something that pleased him. He began to clap his hands together as he reached down and pulled Calvin up by his head. He then palmed the man by his head with something in mind, but out of nowhere Guy was caught by Calvin's elbow to the side of the head breaking up whatever he had in mind. Calvin shook his head as he started to zero in on Guy.
He grabbed a hold of his arm and spun him around, but Guy clobbered him with a FOREARM STRIKE to the jaw that sent Calvin stumbling backwards. Guy then shouted "HUZZAH" at the top of his lungs before rushing in but right away Calvin caught him with a BOOT TO THE GUT forcing Guy to stop in his tracks and double over. Calvin wrapped one of his arms around the head of Guy before lifting him up and then bringing him right back down, spiking his head with a BRAINBUSTER into the mat.
Adams: Braaaaaaaaainbuuuuusssssttttaaa!
Simone: Excited much?!
Adams: What can I say? It's a fantastic move!
Guy was laid out on his back right in the middle of the ring. The crowd was at an all time high with their excitement really cheering on Calvin. He sat up in the ring and looked around at the crowd with a smirk starting to cross his lips. He slammed his hands against the mat in excitement before pushing himself up and heading for one of the corners. He climbed right up to the top rope within seconds and looked down at Guy who hadn't moved yet.
All hesitation and worry was out the window with Calvin leaping from the top rope and coming down on top of Guy with "AIR CALVIN" driving the point of his elbow right into the chest of Guy. Right away Calvin went for the cover in hopes that the match wouldn't need to go on much longer than this.
Simone: Beautiful elbow drop from Calvin! That's a move we haven't seen in quite sometime! Even before his injury.
ONE!
Adams: Maybe it's a sign of desperation.
TWO!
Simone: Or a sign he's getting his confidence back. Not everything has to have a negative mindset to it Jason.
TH-KICKOUT FROM THE CAPED WARRIOR!
Adams: Well whatever it was. It wasn't enough to put this match away.
Simone: Fine by me. I'm all about seeing a good competitive match!
For a moment Calvin stayed there on his knees. A little shake of his head as it was becoming clear it was going to take a lot more to put the man away. Calvin found himself standing up as he backed into the corner and called for Guy to stand up. Stomping his foot on the mat in the process as well. Guy rolled to his hands and knees. Starting to push himself up to his feet. The second he was on his feet Calvin came exploding from the corner.
Throwing his foot up for a SUPERKIC-NOO! Guy managed to catch the foot of Calvin making the former champion hobble on one foot. Calvin shaking his head a little bit trying to convince his friend to let go, but that's when Guy slammed the man's foot down with force causing Calvin to stumble right into Guy's arms as he scooped him up on his shoulders. Taking a spin towards the middle of the ring Guy.
He then tossed Calvin off his shoulders and caught him under the chin with "GUY's LULLABY" causing Calvin's eyes to roll back as he crumbled to the mat. A massive pop came from the crowd with Guy dropping down to his knees and rolling Calvin onto his back to make a pin attempt.
ONE!
Adams: That knee looked like it knocked Calvin out cold!
TWO!
Simone: We're really getting a chance to see how diverse Guy is inside the square circle. His personality doesn't scream ring general but he's got some tricks in the bag!
THR-NOO!
CALVIN POPS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Adams: Woww! He was able to kick out of that!?!
Simone: That's the instincts. The impulses. The fighter in Calvin is coming out. It's all coming back to him a little at a time and we're witnessing it.
Adams: To be fair. He might be concussed after that knee and not even aware of what he's truly doing at this point.
Guy wasted no time at all grabbing a hold of Calvin's head and pulling him up. Once the two men were on their feet. Guy landed a huge RIGHT HAND to the jaw of Calvin sending him backwards. However it was quick that Calvin came right back to Guy's jaw with a ROARING ELBOW stunning the cape wearing man. Guy dropped down to one knee before catching Calvin with an OPEN PALM THRUST when he shot back to his feet sending Calvin backwards.
As soon as he collected himself Calvin drilled Guy with a BIG BOOT that sends Guy flying into the ropes where he leaned on them. Calvin came rushing in with all his might for a CLOTHESL-NOOO! Guy was quick to duck down and sent Calvin over the top rope, but Calvin was able to swing his body and land firmly on his feet right there on the apron. Guy turned around as Calvin grabbed him by the head and hung him up on the top rope for a second causing Guy to stumble back.
Right away Calvin pulled down the top rope and used it to his advantage to spring into the air and connect with "MEETING KRYPTONITE" landing that punch right to the jaw of Guy sending him across the ring and into the ropes. However Guy bounced right off the ropes as Calvin was standing back up and caught him with a REBOUND LARIAT that spun Calvin inside out before both men just hit the mat feeling spent from the effects of the mat.
Simone: Strike after strike after strike! These two are meant to be friends and they're hitting each other as hard as they possibly can!
Adams: I don't know if I'd consider anyone a friend after they refused to accept a decision I was making for me. Something that was in my best interest. And then the top it all off they slap me in the face? No, we wouldn't be friends at all.
Simone: I still think you're looking at it in all the wrong light, Jason. I don't believe even for a second any of Guy's actions were meant to be disrespectful. He was just determined to get through to his friend.
Drew had dropped down to check on both men as they laid there on the mat. There was movement going on so clearly the match could continue. Both men started to push themselves up at nearly the same exact time. Calvin reached for the ropes to stand up. Guy using one of the corners to do the same thing. Guy happened to take notice of Calvin when he had a devious smirk cross his lips for a moment. He stumbled over to Drew and grabbed him, leading him over to the corner pointing at the ropes.
Adams: I think Guy is telling our official that the ropes are loose.
Simone: That's a dangerous situation. For anyone that's going to compete tonight. We need to get that taken care of asap.
Adams: Well it's not like Drew is our ring crew or anything.
Inside the ring Drew was looking at the ropes and feeling them. Distracted for the moment as Guy quickly turned around as Calvin was coming towards him. Right away Guy rushed in and drove his foot between the legs of Calvin for "DICK KICK PARTY" causing Calvin's eyes to go wide as he dropped to his knees. Right away there was a mixed reaction from the crowd with Guy running to the nearest corner and climbing it up.
Simone: Wow!
Adams: You still think they're friends now?! Who would do something like that to someone they call a friend?!
Simone: I'm kind of at a loss for words right now.
Still the crowd was reacting in a confused manner. By the time Drew had turned around all he saw was Calvin struggling to get up as Guy was perched in the corner. Finally, Calvin was able to get up to his feet despite the pain he was in. Right away Guy launched himself from the top rope and grabbed a hold of Calvin's head on the way down, spiking it into the mat with "THE HANGOVER: PART FOUR" causing Calvin to flop onto his back after the DDT. Guy made the cover quickly, hooking both of Calvin's legs for the pin attempt.
Adams: Chalk this one up. It's over and done. Guy suckered Calvin into a match, just to kick him low, and steal the victory!
ONE!
Simone: There's got to be more to the story than that!
TWO!
Adams: You're being too optimistic if you ask me Belinda. Guy knew what he was doing all along!
THRE-NOOOOOOOO!
CALVIN GRABBED THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Simone: Once again Calvin saves himself from a loss. Fantastic in ring awareness!
Drew held up a two count as he started to stand back up. Guy started to get up to his feet before reaching down and pulling Calvin up as well. Once he had Calvin up, it was Calvin that shoved Guy backwards and nearly caused him to collide with Drew. Guy was able to grab the ropes to prevent himself from the collison. Holding his hands up as he backed away from Drew. This was all that Calvin needed as he came up behind Guy and grabbed his game flipping it over the front of him to blind him.
Guy flailed his arms around in confusion as Calvin grabbed him by the waist and then spun him around for "MOMENT OF CLARITY''. Slumping Guy to the mat with that cape covering his entire face. Calvin had a bit of a smirk on his expression as he seemed pleased by his own actions, but much like with Guy. The crowd was split on their reaction. Calvin turned and started to walk towards the corner. Stepping through the ropes and then starting to climb up top.
Simone: Looks like this is turning into anything you can do. I can do better type of situation!
Adams: It's disgusting if you ask me. Friends don't cut corners against each other.
Simone: But not everyone has the same type of friendship either, Jason.
Adams: No they don't. But even then you don't have friends that go and do this kind of thing. Especially when it could really hurt the other.
By the time Calvin had got to the top rope in the corner. Guy was starting to pull the cape off his face, but wasn't out of harm's way. Shrugging his shoulders Calvin leaped from the top for "THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIG-NOOOOO!" At the last second Guy rolled out of the way and Calvin came crashing down chest first in the center of the ring. Calvin clutched his chest as he gasped for air. Clearly the wind had been knocked out of him upon impact. At this point Guy was on his feet and seeing the position that his friend was in.
He waited for just a second to see Calvin attempt to stand up before running out of the corner. Leaping into the air with his foot out over Calvin's head hitting "THE FOOT CL-NOOOOOOO!" Calvin somehow was able to push up with all his might with Guy's foot hit the back of his neck and sending Guy flying into the air. On his way back down Calvin caught him mid air and then drove him into the mat with "ART OF BETRAYAL" folding the man in the cape on his neck causing the crowd to gasp in shock. Calvin hooked the leg of Guy assuming it was over.
Adams: Geez! What a piledriver from Calvin!
Simone: I can't even understand how he was able to do that!
Adams: It takes a lot of things to go right! That's for sure!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NOO!
GUY KICKS OUT! GUY KICKS OUT! GUY KICKS OUT!
Simone: Oh my goodness!
Adams: I just watched this man's neck turn to mush! How on earth did he kick out?!
Simone: Your guess is as good as mine!
The look on Calvin's face said it all. He was just as surprised by the fact the man was able to kick out. For that moment its like the doubt was creeping back in, but he forced himself to stand up. Reaching down and grabbing a hold of Guy by his cape yanking the man to his feet. Only to shove him into the corner. Guy was looking very confused and out of it. Calvin proceeded to then lift Guy up by his waist and sit him on the top rope before starting to climb it up.
Calvin managed to get both feet straddled on the top rope when Guy landed a HEAD BUTT right to the man's chest causing Calvin to lose balance FALLING off the top rope and hit the mat below. This was the opportunity Guy needed as he found himself starting to push himself up. To the point he was standing on the top rope. At the same time he stood up Calvin got to his feet. Guy wasted no time once he noticed and came down on top of Calvin.
Connecting with "HUZZAH! SUPERMAN DAT GUY" slamming Calvin in the middle of the ring for the crossbody, but as Calvin's body hit the mat. He used the momentum to his favor and ROLLED THROUGH the move to land on top of Guy to pin him. Using all his weight to hold Guy down and hooking both of his legs.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
As soon as the bell sounded Calvin unhooked both of Guy's legs and found himself rolling away into the corner sitting there looking over at the man he just pinned. Guy quickly sat up looking at Drew with a confused look on his face.
Justin: Here is your winner... CAAAALLLLVVVIINNNN HAAAARRRRIIIISSSS!
Guy was starting to smile a little more as he started to push himself up to his feet. Once he was up he took a couple of steps towards Calvin who still sat there in the corner and offered his hand in Calvin's direction. Calvin looked at it for a split second before reaching for it and Guy helped pull the man to his feet. The crowd started to come back to their senses with some loud cheers of approval.
Adams: I am surprised. Genuinely surprised he was able to come out with a win after all this time away.
Simone: You could really tell about mid-way throughout the match. Calvin started to discover who he was in there. It was like a switch that was just flipped.
Adams: I don't know if that really changes the outcome of what Calvin was going to do. It sounded like he was pretty convinced that he was done.
Simone: But how can you walk away after a performance like that? Guy got him to agree to the match and Calvin proved he was just as good as he's ever been. Flawed mindset to he lost a step if you ask me.
Adams: Ultimately in the end it's Calvin's choice.
Simone: Indeed. I just hope he thinks about it. We'd love to see him busting out great matches like that again here in the near future. But what a surprise it was for Climax Control Four Hundred!
Inside the ring Guy held a hold of Calvin's right hand and lifted it up into the air out of a sign of respect. There was a massive reaction from the fans. Cheering on both men for a great match and for the respect they seemed to have for one another. Calvin turned towards Guy pulling him as the two embraced in a friendly hug in the middle of the ring. From there the cameras slowly began to fade back from the ring before heading into the back to catch some more action.
Cameras found themselves focusing on a locker room door. It wasn't but a few seconds later the door was opened and a cloud of smoke just rolled out of the room. In that cloud of smoke two people could be seen stepping out of the room. With the smoke starting to clear up. Those men revealed to be Scott Oliver and former SCW Tag Team Champion, Aaron Matthews. Scott found himself coughing.
Aaron Matthews: Next time dont hit it so hard man.
Scott Oliver: I'm so fried.
Aaron Matthews: And they call you a stoner? Pfft.
There was a little chuckle from Matthews. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a bag of skittles. Tossing them in the direction of Scott. He attempted to catch them but ultimately fumbled and let them hit the ground. He leaned down off balance to pick them up.
Aaron Matthews: Snack on those bad boys. You'll be just fine.
Scott Oliver: I gotta get through the rest of the show like this.
Aaron Matthews: Homie. It ain't like a twisted your arm and made you engage. But if you are lookin' for someone to blame. Blame Jon Dough. I was hoping he'd been around for a sess. Take a trip down memory lane as one of the greatest tag teams to ever do it here.
Scott Oliver: All due respect...
He tossed a couple of those skittles into his mouth.
Scott Oliver: If memory serves me correctly. It was a thrown together tag team and it didn't last that long.
Aaron Matthews: Damn! It's like that?!
Scott Oliver: I am just going off memory.
Aaron Matthews: I let you get elevated off some of the best spicy herbs money can buy and you take a dookie on me like that? The disrespect!
Scott Oliver: Come on man.
Aaron Matthews: Nah nah. I will definitely be making sure I have prior arrangements for Climax Control 420.
Shaking his head a little bit from side to side. Aaron just kind of smirked in giving Scott a hard time.
Scott Oliver: Oh shoot. That reminds me I was supposed to get an interview with you!
Aaron Matthews: Lil too baked on my end for all of that.
Scott Oliver: Uh. I wouldn't even know where to begin in asking questions.
Aaron Matthews: Well see. I'm a genius then got you out of your job for a moment. That's a positive.
Scott Oliver: But I still gotta do other stuff!
Aaron Matthews: And that sounds like a you problem my mam. I on the other hand am going to vibe and enjoy the rest of the show.
Matthews turned and started to walk away from Scott. Stopping briefly as he turned around and snatched his skittles back.
Aaron Matthews: Let me get these off ya partner. Munchies be a sumbitch!
Offering a little wink before turning around and started to walk off again. Leaving the eye blood shot Scott Oliver to fend for himself the rest of the show.
The scene on our screen shifts to the dressing room of Bill and Bea Barnhart. We notice that their friend, and fellow Wrestler, Felix THE CAT Hernandez is sitting with them in their dressing room. We listen to their conversation.
Bill: There is something that does not sit right with me concerning this match booking. I mean, come on, a Hardcore Rules Candyland match that has so-called weapons consisting of soft stuffed toys, water guns, pool noodles, and other non-damaging weapons? I can understand that this is Climax Control 400 which is a hell of a great achievement for Sin City Wrestling but I am not sure why Despayre was assigned to our match.
Bea: I thought the same thing when Candy was announced as the Bombshell in our match. I defeated her twice in three matches so for her to accept this match with us probably means she has something on her mind. Maybe she plans on having others interfere in our match and attack us. Maybe she will bring real violent weapons into the match, instead of the ones you mentioned, Bill, so that she can cause severe damage on us.
Felix: From the stories you two told me about Despayre and Candy it would not surprise me if they call in interference or something else to skew the outcome of your match. That is why I asked you if you would be okay with me being near ringside during our match just in case your opponents hired interference.
Bea: That is part of the game Felix. Wrestlers who are incompetent require hiring interference or attacks on their opponents before the match starts for them to try to gain an advantage. That is a sad thing but it is true.
Bill: Thanks, Felix, for being near ringside in case our opponents cheat and hire interference. And, by the way, keep your eyes out for Angel the Teddy Bear. You never know when he will show up or what he might do to you since he knows you are keeping watch in our match.
Felix: It is my pleasure to keep a watch on things for you and Bea. You two keep an eye on my matches and that is what friends are for.
One of the backstage personnel enters and informs Bill and Bea they need to start on the walk to the Staging Area to be ready for their match. Bill and Bea and Felix stand up and walk out of the dressing room and down the hallway to get to the Staging Area.
Adams: Oh HERE comes the match I think we've ALL been looking forward to!
Simone: Certainly one of the most unique matches in SCW history!
The camera showcases the ring where Justin Decent stands in the center.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the first EVER Mixed Tag Team Candyland match!
The crowd cheers!
Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed by his wife and Manager, Bea Barnhart, along with Felix the Cat Hernandez.
Justin: Introducing first! Accompanied by Felix the Cat Hernandez! Bea Barnhart! "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart! THE BARNHARTS!!!
When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The three make their way to the ring where Bill enters the ring then holds the ropes open for Bea while Felix remains stationed at ringside. Bill walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner with his wife.
Justin: And THEIR opponents...!
The crowd starts cheering already! Then those cheers only increase as "Mr. Blue Sky" begins playing and out onto the stage emerges a grocery cart pushed by Despayre! And in the filled cart is none other than a beaming Candy who is holding Angel in her arms and covered in goodies aka "weapons" for this Candyland match!
Justin: Accompanied by Candy's bestie, Carmen Delgado! The team of Candy and Despayre -- TEAM GUMMY BEARS!!
The crowd cheers as Despayre, on heelies, skates the Candy filled grocery cart down toward the ringside area with Carmen skipping along after them.
Simone: Team Gummy Bears?
Adams: I understand we have Austin James Mercer to blame for that one.
Simone: ............ Wow.
But the moment that Despy pushes the grocery cart all the way down to ringside, Bea and Bulldog take the shortcut to gain a quick advantage! Both roll out of the ring and rush up to the cart and tip the grocery cart over, spinning Candy and all the goody weapons all over the floor!
Adams: Oh no! Angel just went flying too!
Simone: I can't imagine THAT will sit well with Despayre!
And the Barnharts are immediately on the attack as Dawn Barnes calls for the bell to kick start this chaotic and full filled mess!
DING DING DING!
Bulldog runs right into Despayre whose concern is clearly for his fallen teddy bear and Candy as well, catching him off guard! Despayre tries to reach for Angel but Bulldog grabs a handful of his long, jet black hair and he drags him away and brutalizes him with a number of sledgehammer-like forearm blows across his back!
Simone: Therein lies the loophole for the Barnharts! The weapons allowed might favor competitors like Candy and Despayre but there are still clearly no rules that can break up tactics such as this!
Bill then scoops Despayre up easily given their size difference the Bulldog body slams him on the overturned grocery cart, rattling it! Poor Despayre cries out in pain and rolls off, falling to the floor where Bill grabs something from the mess on the floor and picks it up...
Simone: What is that!?
Adams: It looks like one of those giant fun-sized bags of Starburst!
And Bill swings the bag overhead and busts it wide open across Despayre's head, sending the candy everywhere!
Adams: And it doesn't look so fun to me!
Bulldog then plays along to the theme of the match and grabs handfuls of the candy and tosses it out to the fans and then throws one to Felix! Bill then unwraps a candy for himself and pops it into his mouth before grabbing the smaller Despayre and heaving him inside of the ring. Bill then grabs several fallen items from their grocery cart and tosses them inside of the ring, quickly rolling inside to follow!
On the outside, Bea Barnhart is all over her former nemesis Candy, pinning her on her back and grabbing two big handfuls of her hair to slam the back of her head into the ringside floor! Candy manages to kick Bea off but Bea is right back on her, grabbing a fallen pool noodle and wrapping it around Candy's throat from behind, using it as leverage to choke her out!
Adams: I don't think I've ever seen someone be choked by a pool noodle before!
Simone: I should think not otherwise I'd be wondering what in hell you were watching!
Bea drags her up from behind but this gives Candy some much needed leverage and she drops to her knees and sends Bea flying over her shoulder with a snapmare! Bea grabs the first thing she can lay her hands on as does Candy and both Bombshells begin swinging....
Adams: PILLOW FIGHT!!!
Simone: Words I never thought anyone would ever utter in Sin City Wrestling!
And indeed it is fact as both Bombshells have hold of large, fluffy pillows and are swinging them wildly into one another's bodies and heads!
Back inside of the ring, Despayre is crawling to the nearest corner and lays hands on a bright, neon green Super Soaker! No sooner does Bulldog approach to continue his attack than does Despayre unleash a torrent of high powered purple water right in Barnhart's kisser!
Simone: PURPLE water!?
Adams: I think that was Grape Kool-Aid!
This catches Bulldog off guard and he staggers back, wiping the Kool-Aid from his eyes! Bill then comes right in and the wily Despayre slides right between Bill's legs to escape his attack! Despayre then pops up and dropkicks the Bulldog in the booty and sends him careening face-first into the corner's middle turnbuckle! Bill falls over onto his backside and just in time for Despayre to come running in and he jumps on Bill's barrel chest with a Bronco Buster!
Adams: Ride `em Cowboy Despy!
Despayre rolls off backwards and jumps back to his feet as Bill pulls himself up to his own! Despayre wi8ndmills his arms and comes racing in but this time Bulldog catches him in midair and turns it into a spinning sidewalk slam! Despayre comes crashing down and Bill makes the first cover of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
Despayre kicks out!
On the outside, Bea swings wildly with her pillow but Candy ducks under, Bea's momentum causing her to spin around on her feet! Candy clobbered her from behind and sent Bea stumbling against the ring steps! Candy throws down the pillow and instead she picks up a giant stuffed unicorn and she goes to attack (!?) with it instead but Bea ducks under the blow! Candy stumbles because of the miss and Bea grabs the plush and sparkly unicorn and wheels Candy around on her feet and sends her crashing into the steps with a resounding crash!
Simone: This has GOT to be the single most unique hardcore match that we have ever seen!
Carmen calls out support for her bestie and Bea turns and shoves Candy's supporter to the floor, sending Carmen sprawling! The crowd boos that action!
Simone: THAT was certainly uncalled for!
Then Bea sees what has spilled from the bag Carmen was handling and gets a sinister smile on her pretty face. Bea reaches down and picks up...
Adams: A GLITTER BOMB!?
Simone: Well where Candy goes, one has to expect...!
And Bea rears back to send the Glitter Bomb right into Candy's face but at the last moment, Candy ducks and she lashes out with a roundhouse kick that sends the Glitter Bomb exploding back at Bea! Glitter is EVERYWHERE on both women now!
Simone: Oh did she have to do that!?
Adams: I'd have glitter in my undies if I was wearing any!
Simone: Jason we did NOT need to know that!
One of the things tossed inside of the ring was Angel the Teddy Bear ... or somehow the bear just found itself in the ring! Bulldog sees this and he marches over and picks Angel up, causing Despayre to cry out in alarm for the welfare of his bestest friend -- when suddenly Bill is thrown over onto the mat in a complete flip, sending Angel back down to the canvas!
Simone: What the hell was THAT!?
Adams: Did Bulldog Bill just get Judo thrown by Angel!?
Simone: This night just keeps getting stranger and stranger!
Bill sits up, clearly surprised and wide eyed, looking out to Felix with his arms held out and practically calling out "WTH!?" To which Felix only shrugs helplessly, equally perplexed! Bill then turns and Despayre comes flying off the ropes into a Meteora, crashing down into Bill and the "little nutter" just goes wild on Bulldog, throwing windmill lefts and rights into the grizzled veteran in defense of his teddy bear!
Candy grabs the surprised Bea Barnhart and whips her inside of the ring, sending her rolling under the bottom rope. Candy brings Bea to her feet and sends her intro the nearest corner and jumps, bringing her out with a monkey flip!
Adams: That MIGHT have hurt a lot worse if Bea hadn't landed on a pile of pillows and Charmin!
Bulldog fends Despayre off, grabbing the smaller guy and head butting him, knocking him clear off!
Candy waits as Bea gets to her feet and she jumps at Bea for a Hurricanrana but Bea puts on the brakes and drops her in a powerbomb counter!
Simone: AGAIN -- those items just cushioned that fall!
Bea still jackknifes Candy in half for the pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
Candy kicks out!
Bea then turns and points at Angel and calls to Bill "GET THE BEAR!" to which Bill shouts back "I DON'T HAVE A DEATH WISH!" Much to the amusement of everyone else watching!
Simone: I wonder if he was referring to Angel or Despayre!?
Adams: BOTH!
Bulldog turns around and is CLOBBERED by Despayre, swinging a plush Hello Kitty -- and BILL goes down like he was shot!!!
Simone: What on Earth!?
Bea's jaw hits the floor as Felix scrambles into the ring and rears back his mighty Briefcase and Despayre beats him to the punch, swinging the Hello Kitty toy into him as well! Felix goes down like Bulldog and the answer is clear as marbles spill out from inside the stuffed toy!
Adams: Hahaha!
Simone: Well I SUPPOSE marbles falls into the realm of this match!
Adams: They ARE toys after all!
Despayre scrambles on top of Bill for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Bea tries to break it up and Candy sticks a creme horn in her mouth and BLOWS the contents all over Bea, sending her scrambling to the mat and wiping her eyes!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners of the Candyland match -- CANDY AND Despayre!!!
The crowd is on its feet and cheers as Candy and Despayre (and Angel) join hands (and paws) and jump and dance in circles while gleefully celebrating their win!
Julianna DiMaria is in a bit of a celebratory mood at this point and she's standing by a bulletin board. The board just happens to say "best Climax Control moments across 400 episodes" and then she's really finding herself happy for a change. She doesn't take too long to start talking.
Julianna: I want to say that tonight is a night of celebrations. Tempest, you have every reason to celebrate. You defeated Eiley and you did a hell of a thing for the greater good of that championship and if we're being honest, the Bombshells Division as a whole. As I said last week, that woman has had far too many chances and I'm so glad that the door on her possibly getting a shot at your title has been kept shut.
But you know… tonight's a special night, right?
Julianna pauses for a brief smile before she continues on.
Julianna: We are celebrating the best Climax Control moments across 400 episodes!!!!!
A pop from the ceiling is heard and a faint streamer falls from it. Julianna then looks back at the board and looks confused.
Julianna: Wait, something's not right here.
Julianna removes the board, revealing ANOTHER board that says "1 Year of Julianna" on it. Some audible groans are heard from the crowd.
Julianna: YES, I AM celebrating something, but we're not celebrating 400 episodes of Climax Control. Why 400? Wouldn't 500 be a much more worthy number? We are going to get to 500 right? No, what I'm celebrating is 1 year of ME! Can we flash back to some amazing moments over this last year please?
With that the scene statics and goes into montage mode where the first thing that is shown is Julianna submitting last year's Blast from the Past female runner up Dawn Warren in her SCW debut.
Julianna (voiceover): Talk about an INSTANT IMPACT! It gets better…
Cue another scene in the montage where Julianna is pinning Roxi Johnson in her Supercard debut last year.
Julianna (voiceover): Better…
The next scene in the montage is her pinning Ariana Angelos in a High Stakes eliminator match securing her one on one Bombshells World title shot.
Julianna (voiceover): Better than that…
The next scene is Julianna submitting Courtney Pierce at High Stakes to become the SCW Bombshells World Champion and then pinning her again just two weeks later.
Julianna (voiceover): Cut the footage for a moment please…
The montage is paused and the scene flashes back to Julianna.
Julianna: YES, I am throwing shade. You know who you are. See, when someone tried so hard to undercut and bury you for weeks by calling you a nobody, then after you submit them on the biggest show of the year and mercifully end their title reign, then they try to undercut you by trying to cut your reign off at two weeks only to FAIL AGAIN, then go on to win the championship Tempest holds NOW and completely shit on it and bury it then run away like a fucking bitch after losing said title…
Then yeah, I have every right to throw shade. I have no regrets about High Stakes or ever dealing with that woman other than the fact that when I won that championship, that belt was at rock bottom because she was the "arrive, wrestle, leave" champion. You know, in an environment where it was, and to a smaller degree, STILL IS, in vogue to try to shit on my title reign, nobody will ever talk about how I was the one that brought the title out of the hole it was in and at the very LEAST started the rebuilding process even though this company kind of threw obstacles in my way with these substandard challengers until we were getting into Alexandra Calaway and Kayla Richards territory…
Not bad for being the NEW BITCH that won the world title six matches in and was still finding her feet as an SCW Bombshell the entire time, right? So yeah, forget about the 400 episodes…
What needs to be celebrated is me and the fact that in the one year that I've been here, I have absolutely had one of the top 5 first year runs in Sin City Wrestling history. With me, there won't be a sophomore slump. I'm STILL learning… I'm STILL growing… I WILL become the next Internet Champion, I WILL defeat Tempest and I don't have a doubt in my mind that I am going to get it done.
Trust me, I'll have more to say at the right time…
So here's to one year of UNPRECEDENTED success… even if I'm the only one that will ever appreciate it.
A louder pop from the ceiling is confirmed and Julianna can only laugh as balloons and confetti fall, celebrating one year of a successful SCW run!
Backstage, the camera captures Ms. Rocky Mountains as she stands poised with her microphone while standing by Mercedes Vargas, the energy of the crowd pulsating around her.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: We've seen a mixture of established stars, emerging talent and returning legends so far tonight at Climax Control 400. In a matter of moments, it's the highly anticipated match we've all been waiting for as Mercedes Vargas takes on Roxi Johnson in a battle of Hall of Famers. Mercedes, this match against Roxi is huge! How are you feeling going into it?
Mercedes takes a moment to absorb the excitement before addressing the fans, dividing her attention between the interviewer and the camera.
Mercedes: You know, as I stand here, I can feel the anticipation in the air. The fans are ready, you can bet Roxi Johnson is ready, and I'm ready. This is the moment we've all been waiting for, and I'm about to show you why I'm that damn good.
She gestures passionately, her voice filled with conviction.
Mercedes: Roxi Johnson, who's known as Sin City Wrestling's resident superhero, who's known as one of the best Bombshells to ever do it. Simply put, Roxi is one of the very best in the game, and for good reason. No matter how long she steps away. But Mercedes Vargas is not known as a slouch, she's not known as a pushover, and she's not known to call it in.
The intensity in her voice grew as she continues.
Mercedes: Every time we step into that ring, I bring my A-game. I've put in the work, I've faced the odds, and I've risen from the ashes time and time again. We go way back, Roxi. Even before Sin City Wrestling. You may think you know me, you may think you know what to expect from me, but trust me, you've never seen me like this before. I'm done being in your shadow. I've battled through every challenge thrown my way, and I'm ready to show the world what I'm made of. I won't let you or anyone else stand in my way.
Mercedes steps closer to the camera, her intensity rising.
Mercedes: The time for talking is over. When the bell rings, it's just you and me. No more words, no more mind games. It's time to see who really has what it takes. So bring your best, because I'm coming with everything I've got. I'm not just taking back my spot at the top—I'm making a statement.
She pauses, letting her words sink in, the silence amplifying the weight of her declaration.
Mercedes: When the dust settles, it'll be clear: Mercedes Vargas is not just a name; I'm a legacy in the making, and I'm ready to reclaim my throne.
With a confident smirk, Mercedes walks off, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation.
Simone: The milestone shows often bring back wrestlers from SCW's past and tonight is no different! In our next match Team Hero's Roxi Johnson returns against Mercedes Vargas!
Adams: As two of the Bombshells who have been around the longest you know there's history here, not to mention Mercedes went after Roxi's protégé Harper Mason back in December!
Simone: This should be a great match! Let's take it to Justin!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.
Justin: Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida and representing Team Hero, ROXI JOHNSON!
Simone: Roxi has done it all in SCW including train a future star in Harper Mason!
Adams: But the same can be said of Mercedes for the most part!
Justin: And her opponent!
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 the match to start.
Simone: Mercedes has a long history with most of SCW's more tenured bombshells and Roxi's no different!
Adams: We'll see how this latest encounter plays out!
Jacob goes over the rules with both women and once they nod to indicate that they understand he calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Simone: And this match up is underway!
Adams: This will be good!
Mercedes and Roxi circle around each other for a bit before they lock up in the middle of the ring, Mercedes takes the early advantage with a knee lift to Roxi's midsection and then whips the returning Bombshell off the ropes! Merecedes goes for a discuss clothesline on the rebound but Roxi ducks under it before hitting a high standing dropkick on Mercedes! Mercedes scrambles to her feet but Roxi kicks her in the midsection and then drops the veteran Bombshell with a Tornado DDT!
Simone: Roxi clearly hasn't lost a step in her time away! Then again she did recently wrestle for the FCW Promotion so it's not like she's been inactive.
Adams: And bow she's going for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes gets the shoulder up! Roxi shakes her head before she picks up Mercedes but the Argentinian Bombshell rakes her eyes before hitting Roxi with a discuss lariat flooring Roxi! Mercedes doesn't go for the pin however as she instead starts stomping away at Roxi! The crowd boos Mercedes and she responds by yelling at that in Spanish for a few moments, a few moments too long as it turns out as Roxi catches her with a roll up.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes gets the shoulder up before rolling to the outside near where the announcer's table it situated.
Simone: Mercedes has retreated to the outside and is taking a breather right in front of us!
Adams: But Roxi is one of the best high flyers in the game, she isn't going to let her get away that easy!
That does seem to be the case as Roxi starts hyping up the crowd and measures up Mercedes for a Suicide Dive before she goes for the high risk move, namely a flip dive over the ropes but Mercedes catches Roxi and manages to keep her balance before she powerbombs Roxi onto the Announcer's Table! The table doesn't break but Roxi is clearly in a lot of pain from the move and Mercedes has a huge grin on her face.
Simone: And just like that, the ball is in Mercedes's court because that landing Roxi just took looked painful!
Adams: I'd ask her since she's lying right in front of us but I don't think Roxi's in the mood for a chat right now!
Even if she was Roxi is too busy being picked up off the announcer's table by Mercedes to answer any questions because Mercedes wants to get both her and Roxi back inside the ring to avoid Jacob's ten count which she succeeds at doing, beating Jacob's count at seven! As soon as both Bombshells are back in the ring Mercedes quickly goes for a pin on Roxi as Jacob gets into position to administer the count.
ONE!
TWO!
And Roxi gets the shoulder up! Mercedes doesn't let up though but she does change tactics by getting Roxi locked in a Boston Crab!
Simone: It seems Roxi's back has become the focus of Mercedes's attack!
Adams: After that Powerbomb I'm not surprised!
Jacob gets into position and asks Roxi if she wants to quit but Roxi refuses to give in to the submission hold, instead she starts crawling her way over to the ring ropes to try to break the submission hold, Mercedes tries her best to break the submission hold but it proves to be no use as Roxi grabs the bottom rope and breaks the hold! Jacob applies the five count on Mercedes when she refuses to let go and finally lets go off the hold at the count of four! But Mercedes drags Roxi back to the centre of the ring and goes for a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
And Mercedes kicks out! Mercedes complains to Jacob about a slow count but it's no use as Jacob stands his ground while Roxi pulls herself up using the ring ropes! Seeing that Roxi is back on her feet Mercedes charges at the Team Hero Member but Roxi drops down sending Mercedes sprawling to the outside!
Simone: Seems Roxi is getting back in the fight!
Adams: And Mercedes is about to regret that fact!
Roxi then goes for a Suicide Dive and this time it hits, sending Mercedes over the barricade and into the crowd in the process! Mercedes doesn't stay in the crowd for long as she gets Suplexed back into the ringside area by Roxi (though Roxi is clearly favouring her back) and then rolls Mercedes back in the ring! Roxi hops onto the apron and goes over to a Turnbuckle before slapping the top rope three times, making her intentions clear.
Simone: Roxi's gonna fly!
Adams: And Mercedes had better watch out!
However whatever move Roxi had in mind goes out the window because Mercedes intercepts her and sets her up for the Black Rose Overdrive, however Roxi slips out the back and hits her with the Ray of Hope!
Simone: And there we have it, the Ray of Hope!
Adams: Stick a fork in Mercedes, she's done!
Roxi goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner, ROXI JOHNSON!
Simone: Roxi wins her return match over a game Mercedes Vargas!
Adams: Wonder how that'll affect Mercedes's chances in the Ultimate X Match?
Roxi celebrates the win while Jacob checks on Mercedes.
The camera shot found itself in the men's locker room. Jayden was standing there in the center of it and looking around at the several stars sitting around.
Jayden Harris: Listen the fuck up. This isn't something I want to do. This is something I'm being forced to do. My hands are truly tied behind my back.
He peered at each and every single one of them that he could as he surveyed the room.
Jayden Harris: To some of you this is a chance to have a win you desperately need. To others it's a chance to be on a Super Card when you would otherwise be left off. Quite the career changing situation, all I need is for someone to have a set of balls to step up. I agree to be my tag partner. And then all you gotta do is stay the hell out of my way. Stand on the apron at Summer XXXTreme and let me handle business. So who's it going to be huh?!
Right then Jayden's arms folded across his chest as he looked around the room. It was clear that no one was paying attention. More than anything he was being ignored and that was just getting under his skin.
Jayden Harris: Don't all jump at once.
Again his words seemed to be like they were falling upon deaf ears. Not a single person was giving the young man the time of day. Further getting under Jayden's skin. Causing his face to turn a certain level of red with irritation.
Jayden Harris: Man forget y'all!
That's when he turned and began to storm out of the locker room. In a situation where he wasn't getting his way just didn't set right for him. As soon as he went through the door, he came within seconds of nearly bumping into someone. Jayden just glared at the person that turned out to be none other than Ben Jordan.
Jayden Harris: People like you get glorified on nights like this. Four hundred episodes. Everyone grovels at your feet and talks about how you're legends. But yet none of you want to prove that legendary status when the time calls for it.
He scoffed at the thought of someone being considered a legend.
Jayden Harris: And Alexander Raven spent months out here trying to embarrass you. Trying to make your legacy mean nothing. Tried to beat the piss out of you to the point your career was in danger. You'd assume you'd jump at the chance at wanting to kick his ass one last time.
Ben's facial expressions didn't seem like they were all that bothered by anything that was coming out of the Brat's mouth. If anything he seemed amused by it all.
Jayden Harris: Yet, you didn't take the chance. Didn't offer to team with the fastest rising star this company has ever seen. Why is that? Is it because you're afraid of Alexander or is it because you're just not as good as people claimed you were?
Ben puts a finger up, just stopping Jayden from talking before reaching in to his ears and pulling out a set of very small earphones and put them in his pocket.
Ben: Say something mate? Couldn't hear what you was rabbiting about there because I was listening to something much more interesting, just some white noise.
Ben looks around the dressing room as people turn to hide laughs, causing Jayden to grit his teeth.
Ben: Lucky for you, I can lip read. Banging on about Alexander Raven again and I'm gonna guess it's because word on the wire is you need a partner and let me tell ya mate, it's not just that dodgy aftershave you clearly had a bath in that's putting people off. It's because people have figured you out pretty quickly. They know not to trust you. Ain't you the geezer that did a runner like a greyhound with the tom tits in Blast From The Past? I've taken chances on people before but mate, wouldn't touch you with a ten foot barge pole.
Jayden stood there shaking his head from side to side. Not seemingly buying anything that was being told to him at that moment.
Jayden Harris:: Nah, all that bullshit that came out of your mouth. That's exactly what it is. Just bullshit. Stop being a coward. Step up. Show your worth. Show what your legacy truly means. Tag with me and make yourself relevant again.
Ben: I haven't just come over on a banana boat. Honestly, I'd love to have a crack at Alexander again, would love to, but I'd rather wrestle Bill Barnhart every night then tag with you. You'd have to be a proper lunatic to wanna tag with you. Good luck in your search though mate.
The words of the former SCW World Champion were striking quite the nerve with the second generation superstar.
Jayden Harris: Whatever dude. You want to be like everyone else. So be it. Like I said, I don't need anyone's help. And in the end I'm going to get the last laugh when I pass all of you up!
The Brat found himself marching forward shoulder checking Ben in the process as he walked right on past him. Ben just was seen shaking his head before he pushed the door open to the locker room and headed inside with the cameras going back to the ring for the next scheduled contest of the night.
Inside the catering area the cameras were rolling in to reveal former Bombshell Internet Champion, Aleesha pouring herself a glass of punch. Placing the ladle back in the punch bowl, she turned to walk away nearly bumping into Pussy Willow. Stopping herself a half a second before being able to do so.
Aleesha: Jesus girl. Are you trying to ruin that cute dress? Almost had me spilling this all over you.
Pussy: That would have been a nightmare at the dry cleaners! But come on now. You didn't think you'd be able to fly under the radar tonight did you?
Aleesha: If I'm being honest? Yeah, I was just trying to enjoy the show with my girlfriend and congratulate the crew on four hundred episodes. Pretty impressive!
Pussy: Indeed it is!
For a brief moment Aleesha brought her cup to her lips to take a small sip from it.
Aleesha: But you're not going to let me slide on by are you?
Pussy: Not by a long shot sister.
Aleesha: Ugh! You're killing me. What do you want me to do?
Pussy: Simple. Just tell us what four hundred episodes of Climax Control means to you?
Aleesha: Oh lord woman. I don't know if I'm the woman to ask that. There's so many other legendary bombshells around you could ask.
Pussy: And I will, but right now. I want to know what it means to you.
Aleesha could see that red light from the camera as it was a clear indication all eyes were on her. For a moment or two she was silent, just looking upward. Before finally letting her eyes settle back to Willow as she spoke.
Aleesha: I know that my time here was very small and very limited. I didn't make the impression that the likes of Misty, Amy Marshall, or Samantha Marlow have made over the years. But I will say that I will forever be thankful to Sin City Wrestling. They took a chance on me. Some no name girl from North Carolina. Gave me a chance to show I belonged in wrestling. Most places wouldn't have taken that chance on someone so unproven.
Her smile was starting to spread a little wider across her expression.
Aleesha: I don't know if I'll ever come back to this. That concussion I went through was pretty gnarly. I've been cleared to get back in the ring and all, but it's just a lot for me to think about it. So, my time here in the grand scheme of things is nothing impressive but I still thank this company and I thank both Mark and Christian for taking a chance on me!
Nodding her head a little bit. Before Pussy could say anything else. She and Aleesha were cut off by someone finding themselves walking right up. That someone happened to be former Bombshell Roulette Champion, Caydence Carter. She had a huge smile spread across her ruby red painted lips.
Caydence Carter: Pardon me ladies!
Pussy: Caydence!
Caydence Carter: Ms. Willows!
Pussy: What a pleasant surprise! I've seen a lot of former Bombshells here tonight, but I didn't expect to see you!
Caydence Carter: Busy woman. Traveling the world. Looking super cute while doing it. It's very exhausting sometimes
Pussy: Oh you poor thing.
Caydence Carter: I know right? Whatever will I ever do with myself?!
She let out a little giggle. Before turning her attention to Aleesha.
Caydence Carter: Listen sweetheart. You don't know me. I don't know you and really anything I say may not truly matter to you. But one thing I don't like is hearing people put themselves down. It doesn't matter how long you were here. Doesn't matter what kind of impact you had. You still made it here and that's saying more than some people. Take it from a former one time Bombshell Roulette Champion. I wasn't here long. Not many people expected much out of me. But I still etched my name into the books. And that's something no one can take away from me.
Aleesha: Well, I did manage to win the Bombshell Internet Championship. Something people tried to say I couldn't do and then tried to say was a fluke. I did manage to go undefeated for the few months I was here. Not a single bombshell on this roster can say they ever pinned me or forced me to submit. And unlike a lot of women on this roster. I actually backed it up anytime I talked shit. Can't ever say I was a Eiley or a Ariana Angeloes.
Caydence Carter: See there you go girlie. That confidence is making you glow. You stood your ground. You made some memories. You etched your name into the history books somehow-someway. No one can ever take that from you. No matter what you end up doing from here on out.
Aleesha stood there nodding her head a little bit.
Caydence Carter: Now don't ever doubt yourself again. Pretty girls don't lack confidence. We ooze it. Understand me?
Aleesha: It's noted ma'am.
Caydence Carter: Now if you will both excuse me. Someone said there was chocolate fudge somewhere around here and I'm ruining my diet for the night.
Caydence found herself scooting on by both women heading over towards one of the tables. Aleesha began to sip away on her drink before walking away and leaving the lead reporter on her own. Pussy looking at the cameras with a smile.
Pussy: Gotta love an anniversary show. You just never know who you're going to run into!
Offering that smile of hers. That's when she turned herself around and began to walk over to the a table full of former Stars and Bombshells. Leading to the cameras now leaving the catering area and heading back out towards the ring for the next scheduled contest.
The crowd app;lauds as Jasmine St. John climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes, entering the six-sided ring for the upcoming match.
Adams: Jasmine legit looks excited for this next one, doesn't she??
Simone: Can you blame her, Jason? This match could have easily been the Main Event of the evening for Climax Control 400! It is between two of the original Superstars! Both men having competed on the very first Climax Control!
Jasmine shakes the hand of Justin Decent and then takes her position for the introductions to be made.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the final Legends Match of Climax Control 400!
The crowd cheers!
Justin: Introducing first...!
The opening guitar rifts and drums hit, then the lyrics of "Trouble" by Five Finger Death Punch start to blast through the speakers, as red and dark blue lights start to flash, reflecting off of mirrors that are set up at the top of the stage, and they go black, and when the lights come back on, Casey Williams appears at the top of the ramp, looking around at the crowd and not moving, his eyes looking at the mirror into his conflicted self.
Justin: Introducing first! He is the Freight Train of Pain! Former Roulette Champion! Former World Tag Team Champion! Casey! WILLIAMS!
Casey lets out a roar, his arms out wide before he looks around the crowd, focused and intense. The Freight Train Of Pain starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head to look at the conflicted crowd, their faces showing that they do not know what to make of Casey William's new found aggressiveness. Casey nods his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Casey puts his hand on the rope, and pulls himself up on to the ring apron and steps over the top rope, staring around at the fans, some cheering and some booing.
Justin: And his opponent...!
"Zombie" by Breed 77 blasts through the speakers, the slow intro playing as the word move on the screen. The eyes of Gabriel appear on the screen, turning red as the heavier guitars kick in. Purple lights cut through the thick smoke starting to fill the entrance ramp. The crowd wait in anticipation, but Odette Ryder walks out on the top of the ramp. The figure of Gabriel walks out from behind the dark curtain, the a huge chorus of cheers. Gabriel is wearing a leather jacket, down to his heels with a hood attached.
Justin: Accompanied to the ring by Odette Stevens! From London England! He is a former two-time World Heavyweight Champion! A former World Tag Team Champion! GABRIEL!
Odette walks behind him and pulls the hood back from over his eyes, showing Gabriel's face. Gabriel's eyes are focused completely on the ring, his eyes narrowed as he glares at the ring. Odette walks in front of him, opening his long coat, pulling it apart, he puts his arms to his side and Odette runs her hands down his body. Gabriel turns his head to her, with a simple nod, they start to walk to the ring. Gabriel gets outside the ring and puts his hands together, a light burning from his palms. A flash of light engulfs the ring and Gabriel and Odette stands inside.
Simone: And it just would not be complete without Odette inside of that ring alongside of her husband!
Adams: On the first ever Climax Control, Gabriel teamed with Despayre to face Team Viagra ... no, seriously! And Casey Williams and Ryan King defeated Wyatt Peterson and Saint Patty!
Simone: And now the two legends face each other one more time inside of that ring!
Gabriel shakes the hand of Jasmine as Casey stares from across the ring. Odette takes her leave and the referee calls for the opening bell!
DING DING DING!
You can feel the tension in the air between these two legends as Casey Williams and Gabriel step forth from their corners and meet in the center of the ring, Casey almost a full head taller and holding a 140 pound weight advantage! But Gabriel does not back down as he stands toe to toe with the giant. Gabriel then holds up a fist and Casey stares down at it before he looks into the eyes of his opponent and obliges - giving him a fist bump. The crowd applauds.
Simone: That act right there screams the respect both men feel for the other.
But as the two men begin to circle the ring before their initial confrontation, Casey lunges and scoops Gabriel up around the legs and bum rushes him back into the nearest corner, burying him between him own near four hundred pounds and the unforgiving steel of the post ands turnbuckles! Casey wastes no time and is all over the former multi-time champion, burying one knee right after the other into Gabriel's midsection, driving the wind right out of him as Odette shouts encouragement from the outside! Casey then rears back and unleashes one powerful chop across the sternum to Gabriel's chest, the crack of hand to flesh heard throughout the arena! The blow causes a mask of pain on Gabriel's face as he sinks to one knee but Casey is unforgiving! He drags Gabriel back up and hits him with another open palm strike blow to the sternum!
Simone: It has been over FIVE years since Gabriel last set foot inside of an SCW ring and Casey Williams is taking full advantage of the fact!
Adams: But Gabriel HAS been inside of the ring, training the next generation! Look at who he's been in the ring with! Fenris! Carter! London Underground! They wouldn't be who they are if Gabriel wasn't who he is!
Gabriel drops to his knees from the shock of the blow and Casey drags him up despite Jasmine's warnings to get him out of the corner! Casey hand one meaty paw wrapped around Gabriel's throat as Jasmine finally issues her count against "the Freight Train of Pain"...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And Casey breaks easily by biel throwing Gabriel the length of the ring!
Adams: WHOOOAA!!! Casey Williams just threw Gabriel over twenty feet across the ring!
Gabriel is rattled, his back arched as he rolls over to fight through the pain and shock!
Simone: Much as I hate to say it, there is a stark difference between being in the ring, training the next generation, and being in the ring with a man like Casey Williams who just wants to beat you down into the ground!
Gabriel finds himself in the corner and he uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet and Casey is right there. Gabriel grabs him by the throat with one hand again and lifts him up and deposits him on the top turnbuckle. Gabriel immediately starts fighting him off, delivering a boot to his hand and breaking his grip away. Gabriel then delivers a boot to the head, knocking the big man back a step! Casey comes in again and another boot to the head sends him stumbling back. Casey then clenches his teeth in anger and moves in faster but this time Gabriel catches his arm and falls back over the ropes, scissoring his arm! The crowd cheers as Casey hollers in pain!
Adams: A Hangman's arm bar! Gabriel could dislocate Casey's arm right here!
Simone: He won't have time! Jasmine is counting!
Indeed the senior official counts against Gabriel!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And Gabriel breaks and drops to the floor! Gabriel then reaches into the ring to grab Casey's big boot but Casey kicks him away, sending Gabriel staggering against the steel barricade! Casey then ignores the referee's instructions and steps OVER the top rope and drops to the floor!
Adams: Oh HERE we go!
But the moment Casey lands on the floor, Gabriel is all over him! Gabriel jumps literally right on him and is hammering away at the big man with repeated forearm shots, trying to wear him down! Casey throws him off but Gabriel lands on his feet! Casey comes at him but Gabriel jumps on a nearby steel folding chair and comes off, kicking Casey in the side of the head and sending the big man staggering back! Gabriel moves in and starts to deliver an exchange of blows, first throwing a firearm into Casey's head and then lashing out with a kick to his thick midsection, trading back and forth between the blows! One right after the other as Jasmine begins her count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Simone: Gabriel is making his comeback but he has to be careful! Casey is at his most dangerous when nothing is holding him back!
Adams: And what's to hold him back on the outside???
Gabriel does not ease up and has clearly caught Casey by surprise with his ferocity, and Gabriel lays in more and more forearms to the head to push him back as Jasmine's count continues!...
FOUR!
FIVE!
Suddenly Casey simply ends the onslaught with a clothesline that flattens Gabriel Stevens, knocking him flat on his back!
Simone: And that right there has brought Gabriel's offense to a bitter end!
Jasmine's count continues!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Casey peels Gabriel from the floor and military presses the smaller man over his head and HEAVES him over the ropes and back inside of the ring!
Adams: BLOODY HELL!!!
Casey climbs back up onto the ring apron and pauses to turn back to the fans and call out to some of his jeering detractors. Casey then steps over the ropes to enter when Gabriel, back on his feet, baseball slides into Casey's knee! The blow takes Casey's one lag out from under him and Casey tumbles forward into the ring and Gabriel brings him the rest of the way in, slapping on a Tornado DDT!
Simone: Casey Williams's head just bounced off of the mat!
But rather than go for the immediate cover, Gabriel goes right for the corner of the ring! He climbs to the middle turnbuckle with his back facing the audience before he jumps off and lands across Casey's sternum with a senton! Gabriel rolls over for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Casey THROWS him off at the count of two!
Simone: Casey almost sent Gabriel clear out of the ring!
Adams: That is what you call a REAL kick out!
But Gabriel is not finished! Gabriel quickly goes to the very top of the near corner and pauses in wait as Casey gets to his feet, stunned! Casey turns around and looks for his opponent but Gabriel flies off and hits with a missile dropkick that sends Casey staggering back! Gabriel runs to the next corner and climbs up and jumps again, hitting another missile dropkick...!
Simone: And STILL Casey Williams does not leave his feet!
Adams: He's close! Gabriel has him staggering!
Gabriel climbs up the corner one more time as Casey staggers back and this time Gabriel comes flying off but this time with a missile lariat and FINALLY the Freight Train of Pain comes crashing down! The crowd is on its collective feet, cheering as Gabriel goes for the cover and hooks that tree trunk leg!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-Casey gets a shoulder up!
Adams: NO!
Simone: ALMOST!
Odette is pounding the ring apron as Gabriel stares at Casey Williams who is starting to rise once again! The moment that Casey is risen, Gabriel comes off of the ropes with a leaping forearm strike! Gabriel then runs into the ropes a second time but suddenly Casey catches him and turns it into a power slam!
Adams: From out of nowhere!
Casey with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-Kick out by Gabriel!
Casey is right on Gabriel, knowing full well what the veteran is capable of! Casey drags him roughly to his feet with both hands around his throat and lifts him off of his feet in the choke hold! Jasmine counts against Casey!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
And Casey choke slams him down to the canvas! Casey stands over him and grabs him again by the head, peeling him up off of the mat! Casey then sets him into position for a power bomb... or perhaps a pile driver...!
Simone: Oh dear Lord, no!
Adams: If Casey hits this then it HAS to be all over!
Casey indeed does haul him up into the air for a power bomb, but Gabriel counters and transitions it into a Hurricanrana into a cross arm breaker!
Adams: Where the hell did THAT come from!?
Simone: And he is working on that bad arm from before!!!
And Casey clearly feels it too! Casey is shouting in pain but he refuses to just give up! Casey slowly rolls over to his knees and starts to stand up, still trapped in the hold! Casey then displays that scary power and lifts Gabriel up from the mat while in the hold and he runs right back into the corner, throwing Gabriel against it!
Adams: THAT sure broke the hold!
Holding his arm in pain, Casey roars and charges in but Gabriel catches him with a super kick right to the jaw! Casey staggers back on his feet and Gabriel quickly climbs to the middle turnbuckle and comes off with the Code Breaker!
Simone: Believe This!
Casey crumbles to the mat and Gabriel makes one last cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner.... GABRIEL!!!
The crowd is standing -- color commentators included -- as Odette joins her husband inside of the ring as she and Jasmine raise his arms in victory!
Simone: Five years! Five years since Gabriel has stepped inside of the ring as a competitor and he gains VERY hard fought win over Casey Williams!
Adams: And this match proved without a shadow of a doubt that BOTH men still got it!
The crowd continues to cheer as Casey, now risen and holding his arm, approaches Gabriel. There is a brief tension there when Casey nods and grabs Gabriel's arm and raises it, further eliciting the cheers from the audience!
Simone: What a display of both respect and sportsmanship on the part of Casey Williams!
Casey then takes his leave, exiting the ring as Gabriel stands in the corner as the crowd chants....!
Crowd: YOU STILL GOT IT! YOU STILL GOT IT!
Cameras were settling in for what everyone thought was going to be the next scheduled contest of the night. The surge of excitement could be felt amongst the fans. Especially on a night like this. Four hundred episodes deep was a feat underheard of in today's world. That's when all of the sudden "Bad Man" by Polo G began to pump through the speaker system in the Kia Forum. It didn't take long at all for the crowd's reaction to change and boos began to ring out.
About that time a visibly annoyed Jayden Harris could be seen walking out from the back and onto the little stage area. He didn't even bother to stop and acknowledge the reaction he was getting. The man was focused as he began to storm down to the ring.
Simone: Ladies and gentlemen. We just want to say this wasn't on the card for tonight. We don't know what Jayden is doing out here right now.
Adams: Well, I can tell you what it won't deal with. He's not out here to announce that he's found a tag partner or anything. Have you seen how this night has gone for him?
Simone: Getting turned down left and right. From members of his own family to the locker room. No one wants to be on the young man's side. I think we all know why, but it's got to suck a little bit. Especially when you're wanting the match as bad as he's wanting the one hanging in the balance.
Adams: This is what happens when you and your family have such a bad reputation. It alienates you and puts you in a situation where you aren't going to have any allies.
About that time the Brat could be seen sliding into the ring from under the bottom rope. Once he was on his feet he stormed to the otherside of the ring. Making a gesture with his hands that resulted in Justin getting up from the time keeper's table and bringing over a microphone to the young man. Jayden snatched it over and turned towards the middle of the ring.
Jayden Harris: Cut the music!
Right away, the moment that statement was made. "Bad Man" was instantly cut off. A frustrated Jayden paced around the ring for a second or two. Before looking right up at the hard cam.
Jayden Harris: Christian knew what the hell he was doing when he announced I had to have a tag team partner for this match at Summer XXXTreme. Shackling me with an impossible ass task because he's bitter about something my old man did a year ago and he's taking it out on me. This is bullshit and everyone knows it!
His face was a shade of red. Really showcasing just how annoyed he was with the situation at hand.
Jayden Harris: I don't care what the hell was said. I don't care what he wants or what anyone else wants for that matter. I'm in the business of what I want. I said it two weeks ago and I'm saying it now. J2H. Alexander Raven. Two on one handicap match. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It's going to happen and if it doesn't shit is going to get out of hand real quick!
His eyes were narrowed on the camera. They had a certain level of fire to them. He was a man that meant serious business even if it wasn't going to get him anywhere. The fans letting their voices be heard with the boos over his attitude.
Jayden Harris: And I know you two jackasses are just in the back frothing at the mouth to come out here. So bring your asses on!
Lowering the microphone from his lips. He was motioning with his right hand for the two men to come on out. This prompted the fans to boo a little louder. They were already dealing with him, the last thing they wanted to do was deal with more egos.
Adams: I don't think he understands how this works. Christian is a man that means business. What he says goes. This match won't happen without a tag partner.
Simone: Forget the fact he doesn't have a tag partner. He's calling those two out here. We saw what happened two weeks ago. He's playing a dangerous game.
Adams: You're not wrong there. But it's clear the kid has lost his mind. Much like his old man, he just doesn't think things through.
Simone: And that could end up costing him his career in the long run.
J2H: Do you ever get sick of listening to yourself speak?
The crowd boo as J2H steps out at the top of the ramp alongside Alexander Raven.
J2H: Because I'm sick of you spouting the same old shit you spout every fucking week. When will you learn that this tough guy act will not get you anywhere at all. We all know you're doing it because you're shitting yourself in there. You know that there's not a person in this locker room that will ever team with you. We saw you walk in to that dressing room, we saw you begging and we saw the room go as quiet as the grave we're gonna put you in.
Adams: Ouch!
J2H: There's no one in this world that wants to go near you because they fear us, they know what we can do. You couldn't even get Casey Williams to team with you and he'll team with anyone for a free meal.
J2H and Alexander start to walk closer to the ring.
J2H: You're fucked Jayden and in two weeks, we put you down like the little sick puppy you are.
Raven seemed to be full of fire and anger tonight. No smile, just a nod of acknowledgement listening to J2H speak. His eyes boring holes into Jayden standing in the ring. Visible frustration etched onto his face. Rubbing a hand on his face for a moment before bringing the mic up to his mouth with his other hand.
Raven: Sounds to me, Jayden, you're starting to see my way of thinking. Just a little bit. The authority holding you down? The man crushing you beneath the weight of unfair and untoward action. It's almost like the things I say are true, and nobody wants to fucking admit it. It's hard to ignore when it's slapping you in the face, isn't it? Don't worry though, I'm doing everything in my power to change things. I'm doing everything I can before the sand in my hourglass trickles out, to ensure that people like you and me aren't the victims of those who think themselves the purveyors of fate. I mean, truthfully? It's a fucking affront that on this here historic four hundredth episode, neither myself nor J2H were booked. Two of the most important fucking people on this roster right now, and they left us off it. Sounds like we're all turning into scorched earth.
Raven tapped a finger to his temple knowingly, staring down the ring at Jayden, slowly pacing back and forth on the ramp way. Microphone held in hand, just a few strides behind J2H still.
Raven: I think the most embarrassing thing has been watching you try and whore yourself out all night to every Tom, Dick and Henrietta pleading and pleading. Begging someone to throw aside their aspersions and stand at your hip. Might be more than just daddy being scorched earth, I think. Maybe people are, like I said, smart enough to know they don't stand a chance across that ring from Alexander Raven and J2H. Might be, people saw you get your ass beat from pillar to post week after week and thought to themselves. 'That kid ain't got a chance in fucking hell.' Sounds to me like you aren't getting your match. Sounds to me that you're going to have to sit at home and watch as I do exactly what I said. Retain my championship, and sip mimosas in the Summer sun.
Jayden stood there looking at the two of them. The look on his face said it all. He was not even the least bit impressed by them. Taking a step towards the center of the ring and bringing the microphone up to his lips.
Jayden Harris: You see for two men that think they're the toughest and the baddest motherfuckers walking the planet. You sure did fail at finishing the job two weeks ago. I think it's clear that you don't have it in you to put an end to me.
All of the sudden he could be seen reaching down and pulling up on the bottom of his shirt. Pulling it up and over his head throwing it into the crowd. His eyes came right back to both men
.Jayden Harris: I'm so damn confident in that. I say screw waiting another two weeks. I'm right here. You two are right there. Let's kick this thing off right now!
Right then Jayden tossed the microphone out of the ring as it could be heard hitting the floor with a thud. Using both hands to motion the two of them to get in the ring. J2H and Raven just look at one another for a second.
Simone: Yeah, it's official Jason. This kid has lost his mind!
Adams: These two are going to tear him apart. They put him through a locker room door last time. Nothing is going to stop them from taking it as far as they need to this time!
That's when the two men went for it. They both hopped off on the apron and began to swing their legs over the middle rope in unison. No sooner than they were in the ring the entire Kia Forum went PITCH BLACK leading to everyone scrambling. There was a certain level of panic from the fans in attendance that could be heard. They desperately wanted to know what was going on.
Adams: Who forgot to pay the light bill?!
Simone: I don't think it has anything to do with the light bill! This might've been a set up by Jayden!
Adams: To be fair Belinda. That kid is blinded by rage, I don't think he would think of anything smart enough to blind side them.
Simone: Man, you're really hell bent on picking a fight with Jayden.
There was a sudden blast of white light and when the arena lights began to settle back on to their normal state. The entire arena was in shock when they saw THE ENTITY standing side by side with Jayden Harris with a steel chair in hand. Jayden looked over at Entity who slowly turned his head and looked at him. With the crowd still in shock. Not sure how to really react.
Simone: Entity?! What in the world?!
Adams: Don't tell me. Don't tell me he's about to align himself with Jayden!
Simone: That's what it looks like but why?!
Adams: Your guess is as good as mine!
J2H and Raven had a state of shock on their expressions as well. This certainly wasn't what they had envisioned. Jayden and Entity both turn their attention to the men leading to them lunging forward. Raven quickly ducked the chair shot of Entity and rolled himself out of the ring. Jayden was about to snatch a hold of J2H by his tie and the man dove out of the ring for safe keepings.
Adams: This match is going to happen after all! I just got word from Christian Underwood in the back!
Simone: You're hearing my broadcast partner correctly folks. At Summer XXXTreme, it will be the tag team of J2H and Alexander Raven versus Jayden Harris and the Entity!
Inside the ring Jayden and Entity stood side by side. Making a motion for Raven and J2H to rejoin them in the ring. To which neither man had any interest in doing so. Regrouping there on the stage side by side and shaking their heads in unison. Both teams engaged in that brief staredown with the cameras cutting away from the ring side area.
In between matches the crowd is starting to look around and wonder what is going to happen next. Suddenly the fans closest to the entryway to the backstage area stand up. And Harper Mason comes falling from the backstage area onto the top of the ramp.
Adams: Is that…Harper Mason?
Simone: What is going on here?
Adams: I think we are about to find out. Look who's here now.
And with that we see Alicia Lukas. She steps out from the same entrance that Harper just fell from. A black steel chair in her left hand as she looks down at the popular young star. Alicia shakes her head, wearing a black leather jacket, torn black jeans, black converse and a red Wolfslair shirt. Harper crawls forward and pushes herself up on all fours. Alicia shakes her head and brings the chair down as hard as she can across Harpers back
Simone: No no no COME ON!
Adams: This woman has lost it! Alicia has snapped!
Alicia throws the chair down before stepping forward and standing above Harper, she leans down and grabs a handful of Harper's hair before slamming hard right hands right into the top of Harper's head over and over and over again. After a few moments and the crowd screaming for Alicia to stop backstage officials come running out and grab hold of the crazed Hall of Famer pulling her away from Harper
Simone:This is too much….
Simone: It's Main Event Time folks! The Wolves retained the Mixed Tag Team Titles over The Conspiracy several weeks ago and now they are facing two former champions in Miles Kasey and Alexandra Callaway!
Adams: And the ironic thing is? Alexandra has the woman who beat her for the SCW Bombshell Roulette Championship in last week's Main Event for this title shot! She and Juliana DiMaria faced Harper Mason in a handicap match during Victoria Lyons' Queen for a Day Episode, from that win Julianna earned the right to challenge Tempest at Summer XXXTreme for the Bombshell Internet Championship and now Alexandra is cashing in the title opportunity she gained from that match.
Adams: This should be a hell of a match, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen this your main event of Climax Control 400 and it is for the SCW Mixed Tag Team Titles!
A howl of a wolf is heard through the sound of a whistling snowstorm as Bad Omens "Artificial Suicide" hits. The pounding drums matching almost step for step as Kayla Richards and Finn Whelan make their way out onto the entrance way.
Justin: Introducing first, they are the reigning and defending SCW Mixed Tag Team Champions, the World Bombshell Champion Kayla Richards and the World Heavyweight Champion Finn Whelen, THE WOLVES OF GHEIMHRIDH!
They look at each other and start to make their way down to the ring, Finn focused and glaring at the crowd as Kayla struts arrogantly behind him. The two make their way down to the ring as Kayla moves up the steps onto the apron and Finn slides in under the bottom rope and pops to his feet before standing in the corner putting his foot on the bottom rope as their await the match to begin.
Simone: Have their ever revealed what Gheimhridh is?
Adams: To my knowledge no but you know Luna Pasilno will be watching this closely as she earned the right to challenge Kayla at Summer XXXTreme by winning Blast from the Past!
Justin: And introducing the challengers.
The lights go down and "Mine" by Halestorm starts to play. The arena is filled with Red and lights and fog. The Silhouette of Alexandra can be seen at the top of the ramp. She poses on the top of the ramp and as the beat drops, she starts to make her way down the ramp, towards the ring. Stopping halfway down the ramp, she stops looking out over the crowd, before continuing on. She smirks seeing some of the signs people made a cocky smirk crosses her face.
Justin: First, from DALLAS, TX.. ALEXANDRA CALAWAY!!!!!"
Finishing her walk down the ramp, she climbs onto the ring apron and up onto the turnbuckle. She slips into the ring and poses on the ropes, leaning forward on the ropes, sometimes talking shit with people in front row. She watches up the ramp, messing with her hair as she waits for her opponent.
Simone: Alexandra was the Roulette Champion until a week ago and, as you alluded too Jason, she lost it to the woman that helped her earn this match indirectly.
Adams: And you gotta admit, winning the Mixed Tag Team Titles a week later would be a major bounce back!
Justin: And her partner!
"Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. He bounces in place twice before bolting towards the ring, sliding under the bottom rope, running into the adjacent ropes and handstand springboarding backwards into a superhero pose as the fans go crazy!
Justin: From Manchester, England weighing 215lbs, MILES KASEY!
Simone: Miles is a former Roulette and Internet Champion and is now set to try to win the Mixed Tag Titles for the first time!
Adams: Not to mention he's getting married to Carter next week! Those titles would make for one hell of a wedding gift!
Drew goes over the rules with both teams and it's decided that the women will start the match as Finn and Miles head out to the apron.
DING DING DING!
Simone: Here we go, the first Main Event of the 400s!
Adams: This is gonna be great!
As soon as the bell rings Kayla and Alexandra start brawling in the middle of the ring while their partners watch on from the outside of the ring, Alexandra takes the early advantage with a stiff uppercut to Kayla's jaw that spins her around and allows Alexandra to hit Kayla with a German Suplex! Alexandra bridges for the early pin attempt and Drew gets into position to administer the count while Finn watches on.
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla gets the shoulder up!
Simone: Too early in the match to catch someone like Kayla in that way!
Adams: But it did force Kayla to expend energy and a veteran like Alexandra knows that all too well!
Both women get back to their feet but it's Kayla that gets the first move in this time as she catches Alexandra with a lariat, Alexandra rolls out of the ring rather than let Kayla get a pin on her though and the champ follows the veteran to the outside where she picks up Alexandra and starts dragging the challenger near to where the announcer's table is, on the way though she spots a hooded female fan in the front row and starts jaw jacking with her.
Simone: Why do I get the feeling we're seen that fan before?
Adams: Maybe she's a die hard SCW fan who's been to every show in recent years? Doesn't explain the hood though!
The distraction proves to be enough for Alexandra to fight back though and she hits Kayla with a Back Suplex! When she realizes that Drew is up to seven on his count though Alexandra rolls in and out of the ring to break up the count at which point she notices the fan and while she has her concerns she brushes them aside before grabbing a chair, setting in a seated position and then props Kayla in it before hitting her with a running dropkick!
Simone: We don't know who that fan is but Alexandra isn't convinced about her.
Adams: And Kayla had some words for her as well!
Alexandra rolls Kayla back into the ring and follows her in before going for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Kayla gets the shoulder up at two! Finn is calling for the tag at this point but Kayla ignores him as she scores with a sit out jawbreaker on Alexandra which sends Alexandra reeling towards a neutral corner allowing Kayla to hit her with a Sliced Bread #2! Kayla hooks both legs for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Alexandra kicks out! Kayla gets frustrated before she hits Alexandra with a Springboard Kne Strike as soon as she gets back to her feet! Kayla goes for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Alexandra gets the shoulder up again, deciding to take a break for now Kayla tags in Finn and seeing this Alexandra is all too happy to tag in Miles.
Simone: And now it's Miles and Finn's turn to tear it up!
Adams: Wonder if we'll see any more from that mysterious fan?
Once the men are declared the legal persons in the match Miles and Finn start going at it in the middle of the ring and their initial exchange is more high flying/submission oriented than the brawling style that the women showcased just a few moments ago, the high flying style being put on by Miles and the submissions being utilized by Finn! It's Miles' aptitude for high flying that does him well at first as after he's whipped off the ropes by Finn he jumps to the second rope and comes back with a Springboard Clothesline! Miles goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Finn BARELY kicks out!
Simone: We almost had new champions right there!
Adams: And for the second week in a row!
Kayla gets back in the ring apparently in an attempt to get things back under control for the Wolves but Alexandra intercepts her before spearing the World Bombshell Champion through the ropes and taking them both to the outside of the ring! Finn heads over to the ropes to check on his tag team partner's status but while both women are (relatively) fine after the fall Miles takes the opportunity to score with a Victory Roll on Finn!
ONE!
TWO!
And Finn kicks out! Miles rolls to his feet and Finn sits up, Miles goes for a Shining Wizard but Finn drops down at the last second before catching Miles with a School Boy!
ONE!
TWO!
And Miles Kicks out!
Simone: Chaos is erupting here at ringside as Kayla and Alexandra trade blows and Miles nearly caught Finn with the same move that won him the Internet Championship last year!
Adams: And Finn returned first with that school boy!
Both men get to their feet and Miles charges only to get sidestepped by Finn, Miles goes for another Springboard Clothesline but Finn catches him with a Lung Blower on the way down! Finn goes for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
And Miles kicks out! Both men are down and seemingly out for the count and while the women continue to trade blows outside the ring Drew starts applying his count.
Simone: Whoever gets up first will have a huge advantage!
Adams: An advantage that could see a title change hands!
As Drew's count reaches seven Miles is the first one to his feet and calls for the Blast from the Past! On the outside of the ring Kayla has just disposed of Alexandra by throwing her into the ring steps and, seeing what's about to happen to Finn, tries to get into the ring and stop Miles when the hooded fan from before suddenly bolts over the barricade and grabs Kayla's legs.
Simone: What the hell?! Where's security?!
Adams: If she was a lifetime fan then surely she has a lifetime ban now!
This distracts both Miles and Drew long enough for Finn to get back to his feet and, when Miles turns around, hit him with the Fenian Rising! Finn goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here are your winners and STILL SCW MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, KAYLA RICHARDS, FINN WHELEN, THE WOLVES OF GHEIMHRIDH!
Simone: I'm not sure what that fan's end game was but she just potentially cost Miles and Alexandra the Mixed Tag Titles!
Adams: And I don't think that was her intention!
Kayla finally gets herself free from the "fan's" grip and starts exchanging words with her, then the fan removes her hood!
Simone: IT'S LUNA!
Adams: We knew Kayla's challenger at Summer XXXTreme was going to watch this one closely but we didn't expect that closely!
Kayla and Luna start brawling while Alexandra checks on Miles and Finn follows the two women, they eventually brawl into the crowd and out of site!
Simone: This has been insane and this is the last step towards Summer XXXTreme! Join us in just two weeks for the hottest event of the summer. For Jason Adams, I'm Belinda Simone saying good night everyone!
THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for this show!
