The show opens up inside of the crowded stands of Tucson, Arizona's TCC Arena with the fans standing and cheering, waving for the attention of the camera. They hold up their signs that show their support for their favorite SCW superstars and the chant is heard throughout the building;
Crowd: SCW! SCW! SCW!
The holiday mood is in full swing as Christmas trees stand tall in several corners of the building and one giant one stands beside the ring itself. Garland is strung around the ring ropes in all colors and lights twine around the ring posts. The staff themselves are even taken with the holiday mood as both Belinda Simone and Jason Adams are clad in red with the much required Santa hats adorning their scalps.
Ring announcer Justin Decent stands in the ring, bare chested and dressed in a pair of lycra red booty shorts trimmed in white fur and black boots, along with the Santa hat on his head. He waves to the cheering crowd and brings the microphone up to address the crowd.
Justin: Hello everybody and welcome to the Tucson Convention Center Arena, right here in Tucson, Arizona!
The crowd on hand cheers with hearty enthusiasm at the mere mention of their hometown.
Justin: And more importantly, welcome to the final event of 2023! Welcome to December 2 Dismember V!
The fans cheer with excitement.
Justin: Now without further ado, may I present to you our holiday hostess, Miss Amanda Hugginkiss!
The fans cheer and applaud as the music starts and Amanda skips out onto the stage decorated to look like Christmas morning. Amanda is wearing a wig with pigtails, full-length pink footy pajamas and carrying a all-day giant lollipop. She waves at the crowd and the performance begins.
Amanda: I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad
I broke my bat on Johnny's head;
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug;
I made Tommy eat a bug;
Bought some gum with a penny slug;
Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I put a tack on teacher's chair
Somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Susie's hair
Somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Mommy's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled the sugar bowl with ants
Somebody snitched on me.
So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I won't be seeing Santa Claus;
Somebody snitched on me.
He won't come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me.
Next year I'll be going straight;
Next year I'll be good, just wait
I'd start now, but it's too late;
Somebody snitched on me.
So you better be good whatever you do
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.
Amanda blows kisses to every corner of the TCC Arena as they cheer and applaud. She twirls her lollipop around and skips away, disappearing backstage behind the curtains.
The camera then pans the crowd further as the SCW Universe smiles and waves to the camera before it settles on a festive looking Belinda Simone -- clad as Mrs. Clause and Jason Adams - dressed as Santa Clause!
Simone: Hello everyone, and welcome to the final Supercard event of 2023! Welcome as Sin City Wrestling brings the year to a close with December 2 Dismember V! I am Belinda Simone and I can not believe I am dressed like this!
Adams: And I'm Jason Adams -- and you lost the bet fair and square, Bel!
Simone: If you say so...
Adams: And I do!
Simone: But for now the important thing is we are wishing everyone out there one and all a very Happy Holiday season as we bring to you this twelve match spectacular!
Adams: One of the best, slid lineups that we've had all year! There's no better way than to say farewell to 2023 and ring in the New Year!
Simone: And it begins in our usual championship tradition, as the long-time Bombshell Roulette Champion Alexandra Calaway puts her title on the line against a familiar face in the form of Bobbie Dahl!
Adams: Then we have the first of two Golden Briefcase Ladder matches! Bulldog Bill Barnhart! Matty Mallow! Justin Smith! And Rodrigo Afonso! The man that grabs the briefcase first wins a championship match at the time and place of his choosing in 2024!
Simone: Bea Barnhart is then back in singles competition as she faces off against newcomer Miss Manners!
Adams: Then it's time to see if "Unbreakable" Eddie Lyons can do what nobody else has been able to when he challenges Peter Vaughn for the Roulette Championship!
Simone: Then we have a true generational battle on our hands when the Hall of Fame veteran Goth goes up against the young up and comer Helluva Bottom Carter!
Adams: Then it's the Bombshells turn at the Golden Briefcase! Luna Pasilno! Krystal Wolfe! Seleana Zdunich! And Georgie Robertson! All four are going after that Briefcase and the contract inside for a 2024 championship match!
Simone: The World Mixed Tag Team Championship is at stake as the former champions Eiley and Oliver Zahn finally get their rematch, facing the champions Finn Whelan and Kayla Richards!
Adams: Mercedes Vargas took an immediate disliking to newcomer Harper Mason, attacking her at every turn with a Singapore cane until finally Harper had enough and challenged Mercedes to a Hardcore Rules match! Mercedes accepted and that is here, tonight!
Simone: The feud between the reigning Internet Champion Miles Kasey and Austin James Mercer has been boiling over for months, ever since Austin brutally attacked Miles's boyfriend Carter on numerous occasions! Yet every time these two men sought to bring this rivalry to a close, something got in between them to prevent it from happening. This time, here in Tucson, we get the match that we have been wanting to see for almost a year! Miles Kasey versus Austin James Mercer for the Internet Championship!
Adams: Then it's time for the Bombshell Internet title! Courtney Pierce and the champion Ariana Angelos have shown the world that they hate each other and are willing to cost each other EVERYTHING! Now tonight, the former World Champion Courtney challenges Ariana for the gold!
Simone: It came down to either Bella Madison or Krystal Wolfe as to who would challenge Julianna DiMaria for the World Bombshell title and many - especially people expected Krystal to pick up that win - mostly Krystal herself! But it was Bella Madison who won that match then and who will challenge Julianna right here, tonight!
Adams: And in the Main Event! Back at High Stakes XIII, J2H won the Six Pack challenge over the runner up, Alexander Raven, to become a four-time World Heavyweight champion! And tonight, we bring 2023 to a close when J2H puts the gold on the line against Alexander in a Submission Match!
Simone: Tune in for all this and so much more on December 2 Dismember V!
The camera goes backstage to see SCW stars Matty Mallow and Kandy Kaine. They are skipping along down the hallway when Kandy whispers something to Matty. The only thing heard is her excited squeal as they continue on.
Matty: No way… let's act cool.
Matty stops skipping and unhooks arms with Kandy. She takes a few more skips before realizing Matty is not with her anymore. She gasps dbd snaps her fingers.
Kandy: Oh right. Act cool… All coooool like…
Kandy begins moving her arms like wiggling snakes at her side, and a very odd swagger to her step. Matty stares at her, his jaw gaping. He blinks as they walk along.
Matty: What the…
Matty then begins mimicking Kandy's walk almost perfectly.
Matty: Coolest. Walk. Ever!
The two move down the hallway like Pac Man ghosts, short of the sound.
Kandy: We really know cool, don't we Matty?
Matty: Cool is my middle name!
Kandy gasps.
Kandy: Really? That's super fresh, son!
Matty side eyes her, shaking his head.
Matty: Yeah, my parents couldn't think of anything and they saw a tub of Cool Whip next to a Miles Davis CD and it was over.
Kandy: "If peeing your pants is cool, then I'm Miles Davis…" Such a coooool reference.
Matty: I was kidding, Kandy. My middle name is Marshall. My parents wanted me to get bullied in school.
Kandy stops her walk and Matty bumps into her. They skid to a stop awkwardly as their eyes fell upon SCW World Heavyweight Champion J2H.
J2H: I'm trying to walk here! Besides, there's no fans allowed in the back unless ya fucked up or dying or something.
Kandy: Wow, talk about cool… it's freakin' J2H!
Matty: Sha, more like J2CoolForSchool. But seriously, I know your name is J2H, just so you know. I'm not as dumb as I look. Oh my God it's J2H!!!
J2H: Yeah, I know who I am.
Kandy: Who doesn't? World Heavyweight Champion according to that championship belt on your shoulder. And the whole world. We're huge fans.
Matty: Yes we are. You've got no idea how much we're cheering for you tonight.
Kandy curtseys.
Kandy: Of course it could go either way seeing as Alexander Raven is sooooooo talented. It's going to be a great match.
J2H: Let's shut your mouths there. Alexander Raven might be the second best male wrestler in SCW, fuck there wonder twins, he is the second best wrestler in SCW, but you're looking at the best wrestler in the world in front of you. Now I know you two clearly rode the special bus to school and this guy might still actually be in school cause he looks like the sort that got held back a lot of years, but let me give you two some advice. Learn ya fucking history because when it comes to SCW, I don't do either way matches, I win. Secondly, stay off the fucking sugar because it's really fucking with ya head.
Matty and Kandy just stare at one another, partially still starstruck, and partially offended. They shake their heads and mouth words to one another until Matty begins flapping his arms in an overly excited manner.
Matty: I JUST GOT INSULTED BY J2H!!!
Kandy: Best. Night. Evarrrrr!
J2H blinks and shakes his head.
J2H: I'm still here, you know…
Matty: Greatest night of my life…
J2H shakes his head as he walks away, his last words heard off camera.
J2H: Fucking Make A Wish kids....
A camera comes up on Alexandra Calaway, the Bombshell Roulette Championship resting on her shoulder. She smiles and begins to speak.
Alexandra: Here I am, standing on the precipice of another opportunity, and it's to continue my reign as the illustrious Bombshell Roulette Champion. Now, I won't sit here and feed you the usual lines, claiming absolute confidence or a guaranteed victory. No, that's not my style. If there's one thing I've learned, it's the unpredictability of this business. Every match, every moment, it's a gamble, and here at December 2 Dismember, the stakes are higher than ever.
She looks down at her championship and then back at the camera.
Alexandra: I didn't think you had it in you. Look who's stepping up to the plate, talking about nerves, unpredictability, and change. It's like déjà vu, isn't it? Standing on the brink of another chance at the Bombshell Roulette Championship, and suddenly, it's a dance with unpredictability. But let's not get lost in the poetic musings; let's talk brass tacks. Sure, I won't claim absolute confidence or predict the future. This is professional wrestling, after all, and predicting the outcome is as futile as trying to control the Roulette Wheel. Tonight here at December 2 Dismember, it's a date with uncertainty, a rendezvous with fate. And yeah, I get it; you've had your chances, your shots at gold, and it's been a constant reminder of what you haven't achieved. The past lingers, a shadow that only disappears with victory. It's a familiar narrative. Been there, done that darling.
She shrugged her shoulders and took a deep breath.
Alexandra: You've changed, huh? Evolved? Well, so have I. Life is a series of shifts and turns, and we adapt, as wrestlers we all should. Twenty plus years in the game, and time, it seems, has been a companion. Yet, here we are, talking about change, about proving things to ourselves. We're not robots, you say. True, we're not, but I'd argue that in the chaos of the ring, we find a semblance of control, a canvas where we paint our stories, sometimes in our own blood, sweat and tears. Where we are the true masters of our fate. The question is, do you have the power and strength it takes, to do what you doubt you can. That little nagging voice inside you that says you can't do this, do you have the strength to choke the life out of it, until you no longer hear it?
She took a moment to pause, trying to give everyone a moment to let what she's said sink in.
Alexandra: Let's reminisce about the Summer XXXTreme tango, a chapter you think is left incomplete. Apologies are appreciated, but apologies don't change results. We're here, at our second act. Life gets messy, emotions run high; no argument there. Fear is a powerful force, but conquering it requires more than words. It requires action. Now, you claim to be ready, focused, and determined. I respect the courage it takes to step up and acknowledge what went wrong. Well, we'll see, won't we? Titles are symbols, markers of success, but they don't define the core of a competitor. It's about evolution, reaching new heights. Taking the Roulette Division by storm? Ambitious, commendable even.
Another pause, taking the time to look at the championship she's fought and bled for.
Alexandra: The Roulette Wheel, the unpredictable element in our division. Chaos? It's not a bug; it's a feature. The unknown adds spice, turns, and twists that keep the audience on the edge. You say it's about adapting. Well, adaptability has been a hallmark of my career. Spinning wheels, unforeseen stipulations, it's a challenge I've embraced. It's the essence of being a Bombshell, indeed. You say I've lost one championship, and I should be wary of losing another. Losing a title recently, it's a reminder that even the most accomplished can stumble. And yet, as much as titles signify success, the ability to rise after a fall signifies resilience. Fair point, but it seems you're banking on uncertainty as your ally. Adversity, resilience, I've built a legacy on these principles. I respect the change I'm seeing in you. But do you have the resilience it will take?
She gives the camera a look of doubt.
Alexandra: You're right about life getting in the way, and the ring is no sanctuary from its complexities. We're not robots; we're humans with our struggles, our fears, our hopes, and our dreams. Fear is a powerful force, but it can be conquered. Now, you claim to be ready, focused, and determined. That's the mindset we both need because come time for, it's not just about the Bombshell Roulette Championship; it's about proving something to ourselves. I wasn't focused when I got here and it showed. And you make an interesting point, just because I'm in multiple companies, well, I was. Now I am not. I'm coming into this match, fresh. I have two companies I work for. Sin City Wrestling and PWA/OCW. Anywhere else isn't on my radar. And it's not personal, you rightly state, and I agree. This is about evolution, about reaching new heights. You want to take the Roulette Division by storm; I respect that. However, don't mistake my acknowledgment for concession. I respect this fire you seemed to have claimed upon your return, but it won't help you.
She took one last look at the Bombshell Roulette Championship, leaning to kiss it.
Alexandra: I've faced the best, I've weathered storms, and I've built a legacy on resilience. Respect is mutual, but in that ring, it's a battleground where mutual respect transforms into a relentless drive to outshine each other. Bobbie, we're destined to set the standard. May the wheel turn in favor of the one who seizes the moment, because when the dust settles, the Bombshell Roulette Championship will adorn the one who navigated the chaos with grace and tenacity. Please enjoy the next few moments with your beloved. Because soon you will enjoy sharing the spotlight with "The Fallen Angel" Alexandra Calaway. Cause when I move away from you, so does the light, bitch.
With that Alexandra waves and walks away as the screen fades to black.
The scene opens backstage at December 2 Dismember where we see Alexandra Callaway and Bobbie Dahl waiting to see what their match type will be for the Roulette Title Match between them.
Simone: Alexandra has been dominant as the Roulette Champion but tonight she faces one of her biggest challengers yet in Bobbie Dahl.
Adams: She beat Tempest to get here so who knows? Maybe Alexandra can pull this off?
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Ready ladies?
Alexandra and Bobbie nod before Rocky spins the wheel, it eventually stops on……….
Alexandra: Twelve Matches of Christmas?
Bobbie: What?!
Rocky gets a message from the bosses……..and all colour drains from her face.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: No! NO! No god please no!
Alexandra and Bobbie share a confused look.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I know it's my job but do you understand how long it took for my arm to stop hurting after the first match?!
Alexandra: Err, Rocky?!
Bobbie: Is something wrong?
Rocky sighs in defeat before she turns to the two women.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You're about to fight in a twelve round iron man match, each round will have its own stipulation determined by the wheel, Bombshell with the most rounds won wins.
Simone: That sounds familiar?
Adams: Finn Whelan and Bill Barnhart did hat exact match during last year's Greece Lightning Tour, only it was called the Twelve Labours of Hercules.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: *BLEEP* my life!
Rocky sighs before she walks over to the wheel and spins it again.
Adams: So, what would happen if that lands on 12 Matches of Christmas again?
Simone: How about we don't give Rocky more trauma? In any case it's landed on I Quit!
Before Rocky can even get out of the way Bobbie spears Alexandra into the wheel causing Holly to call for the bell in the ring and then sprint backstage.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And tonight's opener is underway, and it's going to be long!
Adams: Seriously, the original match was so long!
Bobbie starts delivering some heavy blows but the champ starts to fight back before driving Bobbie face first into the wheel with a STO! Alexandra then removes the belt from around her waist and waits for the challenger to turn around before clobbering Bobbie in the face with it!
Simone: Alexandra's showing why she's held the Bombshell Roulette Title for so long!
Adams: But this will be her biggest challenge, because she has to fight potentially twelve title matches in one night!
Holly catches up with the action just in time for Alexandra, the champ hands the title to Holly for safe keeping before grabbing a pair of steel chairs from nearby, wrapping one around one of Bobbie's legs and then raising the other chair above her head.
Alexandra: You know Bobbie? You won't be able to get through the other twelve rounds on one leg, why don't you just quit now?
Bobbie: Fuck that!
Bobbie used her free leg to kick away at Alexandra's leg knocking the Bombshell Roulette Champion off balance and causing her to let go off the chair, Bobbie subsequently gets her other leg free and drives that chair right into Alexandra's back as soon as she's back on her feet sending the champion stumbling forward, a few more shots keep Alexandra on her toes before she eventually drops to the ground, right beneath a large drop door, getting an idea Bobbie drops the chair and grabs the door.
Bobbie: What do you say champ? Wanna get crushed?!
Alexandra: Nope! I quit you win this round!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the first round is Bobbie Dahl!
Bobbie: 1
Alexandra: 0
Simone: That might surprise some people but it does make sense for the competitors to keep the rounds as short as possible. Because it conserves their energy for later.
Adams: It's less good for Rocky's arm!
Bobbie seems elated, like she's already won the match but Holly reminds her off the rules before Rocky appears on a conveniently placed screen.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: This is gonna be a long night!
Rocky sighs before spinning the wheel!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Second round is Dog Collar Match!
Simone: Wow, they are heading to the ring already!
Adams: Rules are that they will be connected to each other via a dog collar, first to hit four corners wins the round!
Holly explains the rules to the two women before being handed a chain by a stage hand, but Alexandra subsequently snatches it from her hand and that's choking Bobbie out as she drags the larger Bombshell through the backstage area, they manage to reach the entrance ramp before Bobbie breaks free and yeets Alexandra down the ramp with a beal! But in the process Alexandra lets go off the chain and this gives Bobbie the chance to grab the chain and whip Alexandra with it!
Simone: OW!
Adams: I'm going to feel that in the morning and I'm not even in the match!
Bobbie then attaches the dog collar to hers and Alexandra's necks before entering the ring and immediately starts slapping the corners dragging Alexandra along as she does, but right before Bobbie can hit the fourth corner and win the second round in a row Alexandra starts pulling on the chain with all her might from the outside fragging the larger Bombshell away from the corner as she does! Once enough time elapses that the corner hits don't count Alexandra hits the ring and starts hitting the four corners.
Simone: Alexandra's well on her way to winning her first round!
Adams: She's at three already but Bobbie is back on her feet!
Indeed, Bobbie cuts off Alexandra with a body block before hitting her with a running Powerbomb into one of the corners, but she makes a huge mistake in the process which Holly quickly realizes.
Simone: Was that a corner Alexandra already touched?
Adams: No! Bobbie just cost herself a round!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Second round goes too Alexandra Callaway!
Bobbie: 1
Alexandra: 1
The Bombshells quickly remove the collars from around their necks as Ms. Rocky Mountains appears on the screen whilst Alexandra is all smiles and Bobbie is trying to play it cool.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Please let this be over fast!
Rocky sighs before she spins the wheel.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Weapons Only! You can literally only use weapons in this round! First to pin opponent wins
Simone: Well, that's refreshingly simple.
Adams: I'd almost be surprised that the ladder match hasn't shown up but there's already two Ladder Matches on later!
Upon hearing this Bobbie grabs the dog collar and starts wrapping the chain around her fist before swinging for the fences, Alexandra ducks out of the ring and thinking quickly, grabs the ring bell before jumping up on the apron and clobbering Bobbie with it! Alexandra throws the bell back at the timekeeper before grabbing a steel hair and returning to the ring whilst Bobbie shakes out the cobwebs,
Simone: Bobbie got her bell rocked by Alexandra pun very much intended!
Adams: And now Alexandra's looking to use that chair!
Alexandra measures up Bobbie before she swings the chair at it collides with Bobbie's back causing her challenger to cry out in pain! Alexandra does this two more times before swinging for Bobbie's head as she turns around! But Bobbie uses the chain wrapped hand to literally punch the steel chair right into Alexandra's face dropping the champion drown like a sack of potatoes and busting her open in the process! Bobbie punches Alexandra with the chain wrapped hand a few more times for good measure before going for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Simone: The winner of the third round is Bobbie Dahl!
Bobbie: 2
Alexandra: 1
Simone: Bobbie wins the weapons only round and now has a huge advantage over Alexandra!
Adams: Now we just need to know what match they'll be saddled with next!
Almost on cue Ms. Rocky Mountains appears on the titentron looking visibly annoyed.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I hate my job sometimes!
Rocky spins the wheel and Bobbie watches it intently, it eventually stops on……….
Ms. Rocky Mountains: STEEL CAGE MATCH!
Simone: Only way to win is to escape the cage!
Adams: And Alexandra's still recovering from the last round!
The stage hands rush to the ring to get the steel cage set up but in the ring Bobbie starts hitting Alexandra with a series of big splashes trying to make sure that the champ can't make a comeback and win the round! By the time the cage is fully set up Bobbie is all smiles as she starts climbing up the cage, but when she reaches the top Alexandra starts to move and Bobie spots this, giving her pause before making a twirling motion with her hand!
Simone: NO! Bobbie can't possibly be attempting a moonsault from the top of the cage!
Adams: That would be high risk for a wrestler closer to Alexandra's weight, never mind someone as big as Bobbie!
Indeed, Bobbie goes to literally squash Alexandra with a Moonsault but the cham rolls out of the way just in time causing her challenger to crash and burn to the matt bellow! Both Bombshells are slow to get back to their feet and Holly can only wait and watch! Eventually Alexandra gets to her feet and starts making her way to the cage door but Bobbie spins her around and goes for a Spinning Back First only for Alexandra to duck it and headbutt Bobbie, who headbutts the champion back! Bobbie follows that up by throwing Alexandra into the cage wall but Alexandra manages to grab onto the wall and starts scaling it! Realizing her mistake Bobbie gives chase but Alexandra proves to be the faster of the two even with her blood loss winning the round by escaping the cage!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of round four is Alexandra Callaway!
Bobbie: 2
Alexandra: 2
Simone: One mistake cost Bobbie another round!
Adams: And depending on what the wheel stops on next it could cost her the next too!
Bobbie is clearly frustrated at her latest mistake whilst Alexandra uses the cool down period between rounds to catch her breath, once the cage is halfway down Ms. Rocky Mountains appears on the screen rubbing her aching arm.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: You guys realize that there's another Roulette Title Match tonight, right?
Rocky sighs before she spins the wheel.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: This round will be a Tables Match!
Simone: This caused some controversy last time because the participants in that match went through the table at the same time!
Adams: And that round was declared a draw!
Upon hearing this Alexandra immediately starts searching for a table to use and grabs the first one she can! However Bobbie isn't about to let the champion hold onto the advantage for much longer because as soon a Alexandra turns around she is met with Bobbie hitting her with a High Cross Body off the top rope knocking both Bombshells down! Surprisingly, despite being sandwiched between Bobbie and Alexandra, the table remains in tact and Bobbie subsequently grabs it before rolling it back into the ring!
Simone: Bobbie showing just how badly she wants that Roulette Title because it's not often that she takes to the skies!
Adams: Even her finisher is a splash from the middle rope, she doesn't go much higher than that!
Once Bobbie is back in the ring she starts setting up the table near a corner before she goes to retrieve Alexandra who is back on her feet at this point, but when Bobbie reaches over the ropes to grab onto Alexandra she gets clobbered in the head with the chain from the Dog Collar Round sending her down and busting her open! Seeing the opportunity in front of her Alexandra grabs another table and takes that into the ring with her before setting it up in the corner, but Alexandra makes a mistake this time as Bobbie hits the champ with a corner splash sending her through the table!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of round five is Bobbie Dahl!
Bobbie: 3
Alexandra: 2
Simone: We're at the halfway point but I don't think Alexandra and Bobbie are living on a prayer!
Adams: And before that Bon Jovi song gets stuck in my head, let's find out what the wheel has in store next!
Rocky spears on screen again as Alexandra and Bobbie recover!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Why was this match created and brought back? Honestly!
Rocky sighs before she gives the wheel a spin, as Bobbie and Alexandra get back to their feet it stops on……..
Ms. Rocky Mountains: FANS BRING THE WEAPONS:
BS and Adams: OH NO!
Justin: Oh crap!
Holly: Oh this is gonna suck!
Bobbie and Alexandra: Oh fuck!
Justin lets out a deep breath.
Justin: Fans, TOSS THE WEAPONS!
Justin, Belinda, and Jason duck as the fans start throwing weapons into the ring, and as soon as the weapons hit the ring Bobbie and Alexandra make a point to try to make a dive for the nearest weapon and use it on each other! Alexandra grabs a chair and swings it at Bobbie who deflects it with a kendo stick! Then Alexandra drops that in favour of a Baseball Bat but that gets as far as Alexandra striking Bobbie in the gut with it before Bobbie returns the favour with a barbed wire bat to the face dropping the champ right as the carnage ends both Bombshells are on their hands and knees, from both the brutality and the long match.
Simone: Is it safe? Can we come out? Oh thank god!
Adams: Why is "Fans Bring the Weapons" still on the wheel? WHY?!
Alexandra feels around for a weapon and finds a pair of Brass knuckles but finds out that Bobbie had the same idea with a bag of thumbtacks! Once Bobbie has finished emptying the bag onto the matt bellow Alexandra clocks her with the brass knuckles before she goes to Powerbomb Bobbie onto the tacks but Alexandra finds the same problem that she faced in her defence against Tempest, namely that she can't get Bobbie up because of the size difference and Bobbie back drops her onto the tacks!
Simone: OW! Alexandra's going to feel that in the morning!
Alexandra sits up in pain from the landing, right in time as Bobbie was going to seal the deal with a big splash but lands in the remaining tacks instead!
Adams: And Bobbie's going to feel THAT too!
Despite the immense pain emanating from her back Alexandra gets to her feet first and seeing that Bobbie's in just as much pain Alexandra rolls up Bobbie!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of round six is Alexandra Callaway!
Bobbie: 3
Alexandra: 3
Simone: Three rounds down and three rounds apiece for Bobbie and Alexandra!
Adams: Surely the next round won't be as painful for us, right?
Ms, Rocky Mountains appears on the screen and is doing something on her phone.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Don't mind me! I'm starting a Change.org petition to have this match permanently removed from the wheel including its original incarnation!
Simone: Can she include Fans Bring the Weapons on that?
Adams: Please?
Rocky spins the wheel with one hand without paying attention and only looks up when the wheel stops.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Oh goodie! A light tubes match!
Simone: Oh god, here comes the light tubes!
Adams: I can't look!
Upon hearing his Alexandra overcomes her pain to leave the ring and grabs a pair of light tubes from under the ring, throws one into the ring and takes a moment to pose with the other! However Bobbie grabs the one Alexandra threw into the ring and when the champ returns to the ring Bobbie slams the light tube into Alexandra's stomach doubling over the champ and exploding the light tube! This causes Alexandra to drop the light tube that she was holding and allows Bobbie to grab that light tube!
Simone: I'd say "don't try this at home" but if your home life is at the point where this is possible? Seek psychological help!
Adams: QUICKLY!
Bobbie takes a moment to pose for the crowd with the light tube but Bobbie makes the same mistake that Alexandra did, namely that she takes too long and allows Bobbie to recover and what's more? The champ still has the brass knucks on her hand and she uses that to clock Bobbie in the jaw sending her stumbling into the ropes, but on the rebound Bobbie whacks Alexandra over the head with the light tube dropping her quickly and exploding that light tube! Bobbie falls on top of Alexandra and that counts as a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the seventh round is Bobbie Dahl!
Bobbie: 4
Alexandra: 3
Simone: I dread to think of what will come up next!
Adams: Oh good, I'm not the only one thinking that!
Bobbie is still on top of Alexandra but Holly refuses to count the pin until Rocky spins the wheel, then Rocky appears on the screen again.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: And the petition is posted! What? That round's over already?!
Rocky shakes her head in disbelief before she spins the wheel.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Finisher match!
Simone: Another call back to the last match, to win, the wrestlers have to hit their finisher on the opponent!
Adams: Easier said that done for Alexandra but fairly easy for Bobbie!
Bobbie eventually gets back to her feet and Holly explains the rules of the round to her! Bobbie looks at Alexandra, then at the corner where she set up the table earlier in the match, and grins before she moves the table back a few feet and then sets up Alexandra in front of the corner!
Simone: Why is Bobbie choosing that corner for the Bobbie Bomb?!
Adams: Maybe she's hoping to send Alexandra through that table in the next round?
Bobbie is slow to get up to the middle rope however because of how long the match has gone on and this allows Alexandra to recover and deliver some clubbing blows to Bobbie's back before spotting the table, getting an idea and then using the middle rope to assist her in setting up Bobbie for the Apocalypse! Bobbie's weight makes it difficult but Alexandra pulls off her plan, sending Bobbie through the table with the Apocalypse!
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of Round 8 is Alexandra Callaway!
Bobbie: 4
Alexandra: 4
Alexandra looks confused at the fact that she just won a round as she was out for the round's announcement but once Holly explains the situation to her the champion nods as she gets the idea, then an annoyed Rocky appears on the titentron again.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: If the wheel stops on this for Peter vs. Eddie I'm quitting on the spot!
Rocky grunts in annoyance before she spins the wheel, and it stops on……
Ms. Rocky Mountains: An Inferno Match! Oh god no!
Simone: Oh good, now they have to set each other on fire to win!
Adams: Please set up the fire things as far away from us as possible!
The stage hands quickly get to work in setting up the flamethrowers as the situation dawns on Alexandra (and Bobbie when she comes too and is infirmed off the situation by Holly) and soon enough, the ring is surrounded by flames! Alexandra is quick to pounce on Bobbie once she gets the go ahead wanting to get this round over and done with as soon as possible by throwing Bobbie over the top rope and into the flames! Bobbie puts the breaks on that though and she tries a similar tactic, this time via a Military Press Slam! But Alexandra slips out the back and hits Bobbie with a German Suplex that takes just as much out of the champ as it does Bobbie leaving them both down!
Simone: It's not often I say this but it feels like a sauna at the ringside area!
Adams: I feel like I'm about to roast alive in this outfit!
Alexandra gets to her feet first and starts climbing a nearby turnbuckle whilst doing her best to ignore how close she is to the flames! However Bobbie meets her on the top rope and champion and challenger start exchanging punches on the top rope before a solid punch to the gut doubles over Alexandra and Bobbie goes to Powerbomb Alexandra into the flames! Unfortunately Bobbie looses her footing and ends up going into the flames with Alexandra!
DING DING DING!
Simone: OH MY GOD! But who went into the flames first?!
Adams: I'm not sure, Holly's calling for a replay whilst the stage hands put out the flames, both around the ring and on Bobbie and Alexandra's outfits!
Fortunately their clothes aren't on fire long enough to do any lasting damage to Bobbie and Alexandra but the replay doesn't help as it appears that both women went through the flames at the same time! once it's safe to do so Holly informs Justin of her decision and he nods.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, as both Bobbie and Alexandra went through the flames at the same time the ninth round is a draw!
Bobbie: 5
Alexandra: 5
Simone: That means that there will be am twelfth round to determine the winner!
Adams: But what's next?
Rocky appears on the screen and is using her non dominant hand to spin the wheel.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Once again, I had to switch arms!
Rocky spins the wheel and it stops on.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Hell in a Cell!
Simone: Oh good! We're really running the gambit tonight!
Adams: The bosses clearly planned for everything because the cell's already set up above the ring!
Sure enough the cell starts descending as Bobbie and Alexandra recover from their trip into the flames, as soon as thee cell's in position Alexandra starts climbing to the top of the cell with Bobbie not far behind but with her HeadStart Alexandra is ready for Bobbie and meets her with kicks and punches though Bobbie quickly returns the favour as they brawl high above the ring, the fans down bellow being forced to watch on the titentron to get a good view of the action.
Simone: This is just the first match and we've seen so much already!
Adams: Good luck to whoever has to follow this, it's your funeral!
The fans watch with bated breath as the Bombshells brawl high stop the ring with intensity that belies how low on the card this match is! They eventually make their way to the centre of the cell where Bobbie goes for an Implant Buster but Alexandra uses every bit of her strength to backdrop Bobbie causing the centre of the cell to buckle! Bobbie gets to her feet but gets hit with another Apocalypse, this one causes the centre panel of the cell's roof to give way sending both women crashing to th matt! Fortunately the weapons thrown into the ring for the Fans Bring the Weapons round were already cleared out by this point but the impact is no less brutal!
Simone: OH DEAR GOD!
Adams: ARE THEY EVEN ALIVE?!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
By some miracle both Alexandra and Bobbie are conscious, much less alive but Alexanra only has the strength to pin Bobbie with an arm across her chest.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Justin: Oh the humanity! Oh and the winner of the tenth round is Alexandra Callaway!
Bobbie: 5
Alexandra: 6
Simone: Ten rounds later and we're down to the final rounds.
Adams: If Alexandra wins the next round she'll retain the title, Bobbie's only hope at this point is to win this next round and force a tie, necessitating the twelfth round as a tiebreaker! Off course, if another round ends in a draw that means that Alexandra will retain because of her one point lead!
The cell is quickly raised up as Rocky appears on the screen.
Mc. Rocky Mountains: Please let this be the last round.Rocky spins the wheel and as Alexandra and Bobbie come to their senses it stops on.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Barbed Wire Massacre!
Simone: Oh god why?!
Adams: The ropes replaced or wrapped in this case for the sake of speed, with Barbed Wire, this isn't going to be pretty!
The stage hands get to work in wrapping the ring ropes in barbed wire as Bobbie and Alexandra watch on, both hurt and exhausted from the long, brutal match, once they get the go ahead Bobbie and Alexandra start throwing punches in the middle of the ring but Alexandra makes the first move involving the wire, namely by throwing Bobbie into the ring ropes! Bobbie grimaces in pain as Alexandra continues to throw punches but Bobbie eventually gets three and turns the tables on the champ!
Simone: How's this for a Christmas treat for the family? And before anyone asks, yes that was sarcasm!
Adams: I dread to think of what will happen next!
Alexandra gets free but she collapses to her hands and knees from pain and exhaustion, thinking quickly Bobbie grabs some barbed wire, rips it from the ring ropes and wraps it around Alexandra's throat before she starts choking the champ! Bobbie pulls back as Alexandra fights her way back to her feet in spite of, well, everything and tries backing the larger Bombshells into the barbed wire wrapped ropes one by one but Bobbie refuses to let go! Eventually it becomes to much for Alexandra and she taps.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the eleventh round is Bobbie Dahl! This will now go into the tiebreaker to determine the winner.
Simone: And it's come down to this!
Adams: If Alexandra wins this last round she'll retain the title, if Bobbie wins this last round she'll win the title!
Rocky appears on the screen as the stage hands remove the barbed wire from the ropes and Bobbie discards the barbed wire that she used to win the penultimate round.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: If this match never shows up again, I'll be happy!
Rocky sighs before spinning the wheel one last time, eventually it stops on a Normal Match!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Huh, didn't think that was still on there.
Simone: Off course this crazy match ends in a quote unquote "normal" match.
Adams: Because let's be honest, what exactly WAS normal about this match?! Even by Roulette Division standards!
Bobbie shrugs upon hearing that the last round will be a normal match and thinking that the champ is still out of it from the Barbed Wire Massacre Bobbie goes for a pin on Alexandra!
ONE!
TWO!
AND ALEXANDRA KICKS OUT! Bobbie can hardly believe it as she pulls herself back to her feet and through sheer willpower, so does Bobbie! Bobbie throws a forearm at Alexandra but the champion fires back with one of her own proving that despite everything she's been through, Alexandra isn't about to give up the Bombshell Roulette Title!
Simone: What will it take to keep either woman down?!
Adams: Great question!
Alexandra manages to drive a stiff knee to Bobbie's midsection and gets her up for another Apocalypse! But Alexandra collapse mid move, the pain an exhaustion finally catching up to her, Bobbie drags Alexandra to a corner and hits the Bobbie Bomb!
Simone: The Bobbie Bomb! Is this it?
Adams: Does Alexandra have the strength to kick out?!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: THE WINNER OF ROUND TWELVE AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW BOMBSHELL ROULETTE CHAMPION, BOBBIE DAHL!
Simone: BOBBIE'S DONE IT! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, BOBBIE CAN FINALLY CALL HERSELF CHAMPION!
Adams: And she and Alexandra went through hell for it to happen, what a match!
Bobbie celebrates her title win as medics rush down to check on her and Alexandra.
Bobbie steps through the curtains along with Artie, her newly won Roulette championship bet over her shoulder. Bobbie looks as if she is fighting to control her emotions at finally becoming a champion, and that struggle intensifies as she is greeted backstage by peer and staff alike by applause of congratulations. Bobbie beams, all smiles as she steps down to the floor and finds her path blocked by another - perhaps her best friend in the wrestling industry - Fenris. Accompanied as always by his brother Aron.
Aron walks right up to Bobbie and hugs her.
Aron: Congratulations! You did it!
Aron then draws back, opening the way for his brother. Fenris takes that final step closer to Bobbie and drapes a hand behind her neck and rests his forehead on her own, wearing a most uncharacteristic and the brightest of smiles on his face.
Fenris: Til hamingju! Ég vissi að þú gætir það!
That said, Fenris wraps his arms around her in a fierce embrace, a gesture she is only too happy to return. That is when Fenris opens his eyes and huffs.
Fenris: Hands ABOVE the waist, Bobbie!
Justin Smith is seen in the locker room area and decides to talk about his upcoming match with Bill Barnhart, Rodrigo Afonso and Matty Mallow for the Golden Briefcase.
Smith: I know I did not beat Rodrigo like I hoped I was going to, and that's ok. I am still going to destroy him because that's what I do, destroy people. Rodrigo, Matty and Bill are just victims on my path to glory. If they knows what is good for them, they will stay the hell out of my way, or I will be forced to put him into an early retirement and into a retirement home. They will regret ever being involved in this match!!! There is no one who will get in my way of what I want, and that is getting championship gold. I do not care what championship I go after first, but sooner rather than later, I will become champion and will reign as the best champion that SCW has EVER seen.
Smith cackles as the scene fades to black.
The roving camera person has arrived at the dressing room of Bill and Bea Barnhart. They knock on the dressing room door and Bill answers the door and invites the camera person to set up the camera then to let them know when they are live broadcasting. The camera person quickly gets their camera set up and he informs Bill and Bea they are live broadcasting.
Bill: Shortly I will step into the ring for the Golden Briefcase Ladder match. My opponents consist of Rodrigo Afonso, Matty Mallow, and Justin Smith. It appears I am facing The Three Stooges of Shemp, Curly, and Larry and that I am in the position of Moe who is the leader and punisher to the three morons who are my opponents.
Bill looks over at Bea and then he returns his focus into the camera.
Bill: My Golden Briefcase match takes place first with Bea's match against Miss Manners comes after our match. I'm looking forward to watching Bea instill some real and honest manners into Miss Manners. Now back to my opponents. I assure you three that I've been in more matches where the concept is to grab something off a hook that is hanging above the ring. Sometimes it was a briefcase. . .sometimes it was money. . .sometimes it was a weapon you had to obtain to whup your opponent with...and several of those matches were similar to the Golden Briefcase where the person who could gain possession of it has a free pass to challenge any Champion over the next twelve months.
Bill acts as if he is listening to someone making comments.
Bill: I know what you three are thinking and what you want to ask me. You want to know, out of all those matches I had that were similar to our Golden Briefcase Ladder match, how many of those similar type of matches did I win. I didn't keep a match by match record of those matches but my calculation is that I won around seventy-five percent of those matches. But in our match tonight the odds for me are one hundred percent that I win and each of you have a less than ten percent of winning our match.
Bill again acts as if he is listening to someone making comments.
Bill: Now I am sure that you three, and everyone else in Sin City Wrestling, wants to know when I win the match and the Golden Briefcase which Champion I would challenge. That's a great question but at this time I cannot comment on that. Why? Because Championships change often and if I were to mention someone who is a current Champion they will most likely lose that Championship to someone else before I decide when I want to challenge for a Championship. A logical response would be that I might challenge for any of the Championships and leave it at that. With that said I will turn the air time over to Bea so she can comment on her match against Miss Manners.
The camera person informs Bea that the broadcast studio is going to cut to other action and then they will return to their camera to get Bea's comments on her match against Miss Manners. Bea acknowledges the camera person then our screen switches to another item.
The next close up shot is that of the Golden Briefcase suspended twenty feet above the six-sided ring. The camera then pans out to the surrounding capacity crowd and Justin Decent standing inside of the ring, microphone in hand.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Golden Briefcase Ladder match!
The fans cheer!
Justin: The rules are; all four Superstars begin the match together! The object, climb the ladder to retrieve the Golden Briefcase suspended over the ring! The Superstar that is the first to retrieve the Briefcase is awarded a championship contract which they can use any time in the year 2024!
Adams: I have MISSED the Golden Briefcase matches!
Simone: You and so many others! Can you imagine winning a championship match at the time and place of their choosing??? What a Christmas present to whoever walks away the winner!
Justin: Introducing first...!
he opening riffs of Madness by Liliac hits the speakers as Justin "Tarrytown Tormenter" Smith comes out to the stage, looking smug. He stands there as the crowd gives him boos. The New York Smasher walks from one side of the stage to the other with a swag in his step. He looks around the crowd, and starts to walk towards the ring slowly, stopping halfway down the ramp and turning his head with his nose in the air to look at the crowd, their faces showing that they do not like the way he is looking down upon them.
Justin: Introducing first! From Tarrytown, New York! Weighing two hundred and fifty pounds! -- The Tarrytown Tormenter!!!!
The Tarrytown Tormenter lowers his head slowly and turns back to face the ring, walking down towards the apron. Hitamashii climbs up to the apron and steps between the top rope and the middle rope, looking around at the fans as they continue to boo him.
Justin: Introducing...!
"Mr. Boombastic" by Shaggy begins playing over the speakers as we see the flash of an image from behind the curtains. It is similar to the Staypuffed Man. As the lights focus on the stage, we see Matty Mallow in place of the marshmallow man. He pumps his fist to get the crowd going.
Justin: On his way to the ring, from the Chicago, IL.. standing at 5'10" and weighing in at 195lb, he is... Matty Mallow!!!
Matty dashes down to the ringside area, doing a lap around the ring to get high fives from the crowd. He then jumps onto the apron and pauses there, pumping his fist again. He then gets inside of the ring. He rushes to each corner, climbing up quickly to throw his arms out to the side. Once he's done his lap, he pauses in his corner, still looking out to the fans.
Justin: Introducing...!
Tomorrow Never Comes by Rancid plays over the sound system as Rodrigo comes down the ramp on his skateboard as he high-fives the fans along the way. He then stands on the ramp with his skateboard as the announcement comes with cheers coming from the crowd.
Justin: From Lisbon, Portugal, he weighs at one hundred and seventy pounds; he's a skateboarding wrestling prodigy, Rodrigo Afonso!
After the announcement, he does a couple of kickflips on his skateboard to attract the crowd, all of which cheer for him. He kicks the skateboard up and slides straight into the ring with his face painted up. He climbs on the turnbuckle for a roar as he beats his chest like a beast with the crowd cheering for him as he got down from the turnbuckle and does a kickflip once again on his skateboard before he slides out of the ring to give his skateboard to the ring crew before sliding in the ring again, sitting behind a turnbuckle waiting for his opponent to come out.
Justin: And finally...!
Raise Your Glass by Pink hits the speakers and we see Bill Barnhart walk out from the backstage area holding a pink glass chalice in his hand. He is followed his English Bulldog Iris leading her by a pink leash attached to her pink diamond-studded collar. When the song comes to the lyrics RAISE YOUR GLASS Bill Barnhart raises the chalice into the air. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to Barnhart. The two make their way to the ring where Bill hands the chalice to a ring attendant to hold onto until the match is over. Bill enters the ring then walks around the ring playing the crowd before settling into a corner.
Justin: Accompanied by Iris the bulldog! From Lawrenceville, Georgia! Weighing 240 pounds -- "Bulldog" Bill Barnhart!
Adams: And HEEERE we go!
DING DING DING!
The bell has rang as the Golden Briefcase Ladder Match has began, we see all four men stare at each other as well as looking up to the Golden Briefcase that allows the winner to cash in an opportunity at any champion in 2024. We see Afonso and Matty look at each other before turning their attention towards Bill and Justin. Charging in on them with lightning speed, both ducking the bigger men's clothesline attempts and jump from the middle ropes in order to hit flying forearms simultaneously from the ropes. This causes Bill and Justin to stagger into the ropes before falling through them.
Adams: Afonso and Justin sure have the speed in their advantage!!
Simone: That's true, but it's only a question of whom will seize the advantage in an attempt to climb that ladder.
Both Afonso and Matty charge towards their opponents on the outside, executing a duo Suicide Dive in an attempt to crash down into their opponents. But Bill and Justin side step them as this sends both high flyers into the barricades. Bill grabs Afonso as he starts to pound away upon the forehead of Afonso, while Justin whips Justin into the steel ring steps as the top part falls off the bottom part of the steps. Justin turns his attention towards Bill and Afonso, tells Bill that he and Bill should get rid of their opponents before battling it out to who will win the briefcase.
Simone: I am curious how long this alliance will last Jason.
Bill nods his head, allowing Justin to grab Afonso for a Snap Suplex. Only to be clotheslined down from behind by Bill Barnhart before tapping his head as he tells the world that he is the smartest man around.
Adams: I guess that answers your question Belinda.
Bill whips Afonso into the steel barricades once again before turning his attention towards the closest ladder and picks it up. Lifting it up as he turns around towards the ring, only to notice Matty running towards him as he jumps off the back of Justin and executes a flying European Uppercut upon Bill. Causing Bill to drop the ladder as he staggers backwards and trips over the barricades into the fans.
Simone: Good grief!! I wonder if he can get up from that!!!
We see Matty stir, holding on to his back as he landed partially upon the ladder. He picks the ladder up and spins around as he slides it in the ring. He then slides in the ring in order to pick up the ladder, but gets planted face first upon the ladder by Rodrigo as he gets spun around by Justin and gets booted in the face by the bigger man who looks around and notices the carnage in and out of the ring. He smirks as he tosses Rodrigo out of the ring before doing the same with Matty. He grabs the ladder and positions it underneath the Golden briefcase as he starts to climb it with an arrogant slow pace.
Simone: I am not so sure whether this is a good tactic to take it easy Jason.
Adams: Indeed Belinda, especially with a mad rabid Bulldog!!!
We see Bill Barnhart slide in the ring, climbs the ladder upon the other end of it as the two men reach the top at the same time. Bill and Justin start to trade blows with each other on top of the ladder as the crowd holds their breath as to who may win this slugfest and who will fall off the ladder. Suddenly we see Afonso and Matty get up as both of them start to push the ladder upon its side, causing both Bill and Justin to fall into the ropes before landing on the outside of the ring
Crowd: Holy Shit!! Holy shit!!
The camera crew moves towards the side of the ring where both Bill and Justin had fallen upon. Matty and Rodrigo turn their attention towards each other, circling each other before running the ropes upon either side of the ring, crisscrossing each other before Matty drops down in the middle of the ring as Rodrigo runs towards the other side of the ring as he jumps off the ropes and goes for a Springboard Moonsault. Matty rolls out of the way as Rodrigo adjusts in mid air as he lands upon his feet. There Matty executes a dropkick that sends Rodrigo into the ropes before Matty gets up and follows it up with a running clothesline that sends Rodrigo over the top rope only to land on the ring apron. There Rodrigo executes a high kick to the head as Matty attempts to execute another offensive move. Rodrigo follows it up with a Spear through the middle rope from the outside, dropping Matty before turning his attention towards the ladder that is balancing upon the ropes.
Simone: Will this be the moment for Rodrigo to earn an opportunity for a championship??
Rodrigo positions the ladder underneath the briefcase, slowly climbs the ladder with his attention directed towards the briefcase. Suddenly we see Bill Barnart roll himself back into the ring with an angered look on his face. He grabs the ladder as he starts to climb the ladder as well as the bigger man uses his size advantage to gain upon his opponent as the two men stand face to face, Bill blasts a forearm into the chest of Rodrigo that staggers the Rodrigo a few steps back upon the ladder.
Adams: Good God, Rodrigo cannot match strength with the Bulldog!!!
Rodrigo shakes off the cobwebs, but cannot stay in this position for too long as he climbs back upon the ladder in an attempt to stop Bill Barnhart's grasping hands to reach for the briefcase. Rodrigo ducks a punch before surprising both fans and Bill Barnhart as he hits a 619 from one end of the ladder to the other, hitting Bill with his legs in the side of his ribs as that causes him to tumble off the ladder while the ladder stumbles upon it's standing position as Rodrigo holds on for dear life.
Simone: That was an amazing move!!!
Adams: Amazing, but also Rodrigo should be very lucky that the ladder didn't tip over!!!
Rodrigo attempts to find his balance upon the ladder as he looks up, preparing himself to reach for the ladder when suddenly
Adams: Justin is back!!!!
Justin stands behind Rodrigo, grabbing him by the waist as he sets him up for a Powerbomb from the ladder as he uses his strength to pry Rodrigo off the ladder. Rodrigo moves along with the move as he lets go of the ladder seemingly with ease. Moving along with the move as he rolls into it and drops a Hurricanrana like move upon the canvas as Justin's head drops hard upon the canvas before rolling out of the ring due to the impact.
Simone: Another great counter!!!
He then climbs the ladder once more, looking at Matty who is starting to move as well. The fans are cheering both fan favourites on as Rodrigo is on the top just as Matty is halfway the ladder when Rodrigo reaches for the ladder and unclasps it moments before Matty gets face to face with Rodrigo as the bell rings.
DING DING DING!
Justin: the winner of the match and the 2023 Golden Briefcase Winner!! Rodrigo Afonso!!!!!
Rodrigo holds the briefcase high above his head in victory as the shot ends with Matty holding one of Rodrigo's arms in respect before climbing off the ladder
Simone: Well of course it's a special time of year and a time for giving.
Adams: I like the receiving part, personally but sure let's go with that.
Simone: ANYWAYS, on Friday in the spirit of the season, one of our own paid a surprise visit to the area Boys and Girls Club AND with them brought a special gift.
The scene switches with the kids gathered in a common area and in the corner of the screen we see "FRIDAY", as the whole place is buzzing with excitement and chatter. The Boys and Girls Club staff, aware of the surprise, tries to settle them down.
Staff Member: Alright, everyone, settle down, settle down! We've got a special surprise for you today, and it's going to be awesome. Now, I know you're all excited, but let's give a warm welcome to someone you might recognize. It's not every day we have a real champion in our midst.
The kids exchange curious glances, wondering who the surprise guest might be. The staff member gestures towards the entrance, and Miles Kasey walks in with the SCW Internet Championship hanging over his shoulder.
Staff Member: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please welcome the SCW Internet Champion, Miles Kasey!
The room erupts in cheers and applause as Miles steps forward, a warm smile on his face.
Miles: Thank you, thank you! It's great to be here with all of you today. Now, I know you've been doing some amazing things here at the Boys and Girls Club, and getting a look at everything you have no idea how jealous I am of all of you getting to enjoy this wonderful program. I cannot wait to meet you all but I figured I would bring you all a little surprise. Seeing as it is the Holiday season, of course I come bearing presents for each and every one of you guys, including the staff AND your families.
The kids look at each other with excitement and anticipation.
Miles: How many of you have heard of SCW's December 2 Dismember?
The majority of the kids raise their hands, others look a bit unsure.
Miles: Well, each and every one of you is going to be there, right in the front row! And not only that, you'll get backstage passes to meet some of the incredible superstars of SCW. How does that sound?
The room erupts in cheers once again as the kids jump up and down, some running up to Miles for a hug or a high five. There is going to be no calming this group now so Miles just laughs and yells out.
Miles: HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!
The scene switches back to the present day as we see a lot of the kids already seated in the front row and waving and cheering.
Simone: And there they are, our special guest for the evening. A lot of these kids, Jason, would never get a chance like this but thanks to the generosity of our SCW Internet Champion and of course Mark and Christian they are going to have some amazing memories to bring home tonight.
Adams: Ok, I gotta admit that is kind've cool. Welcome to them and I hope they enjoy the show!
The broadcast studio informs the camera person who is in the dressing room of Bill and Bea Barnhart that they are now broadcasting live. Bea looks into the camera to present her comments for her match against Miss Manners.
Bea: Well, Miss Manners, are you ready for our match? Yeah. . .right. . .sure you are. All the mean girls over my lifetime thought they were ready to attack me and kick my ass only to find out that I was able to quickly beat them all down and leave them laying on the ground crying. In a short time we step into the ring and the instant the bell sounds you are already defeated by me. As I said in my comments leading up to this event I am going to beat so much crap out of you that you will not be able to take a dump in the toilet and I will have beaten you down from one hundred thirty pounds to around one hundred ten pounds. Nothing like putting you in a flash diet where you lose ten pounds at my hands.
Bea rolls her eyes then she laughs about her comments she just made to Miss Manners.
Bea: Although you claim to be the self-proclaimed moral compass and the teacher of manners you are nothing more than a joke that popped out of your ass. When I get done with you in our match I will have beaten so much of your arrogant attitude and sarcasm out of you that you will be the poster child of the nicest person with the nicest manners on the planet.
Bea glares into the camera.
Bea: See you in the ring shortly, Miss Manners, that is if you still have the courage to step into the ring for our match. HAR HAR HAR!!!
Bea motions to the camera person that she is done with her comments and they notify the broadcast studio and they cut the feed for this camera.
In the ring, Holly Wood can be seen waiting for the match to start as Justin Decent moves to ring.
Simone: Well this is a debut for one of these bombshells and it could be very interesting if you ask me.
Justin Decent moves to the ring and climbing the ring stairs, he slides between the ropes and stands in the middle of the ring.
Justin:The following contest is for one fall…Introducing first…
WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT by Twisted Sister hits the speakers and we see Bea Barnhart exit from the backstage area dancing to her entrance music. Her wrestling attire consists of black leather pants, a white pullover type of tee-shirt, and a black leather jacket. As the music continues Bea makes her way down to the ring where she climbs the ring steps then ducks through the ropes into the ring. She plays the crowd for a bit before running across the ring leaping up into a corner then executing a backflip landing on her feet. Bea then settles into a corner to wait for her match to start.
Justin: From Lawrenceville Georgia, she is Bea Barnhart.
Bea waits as the music changes.
Justin: And her opponent…
Adams: Bea Barnhart out there in the ring and ready it seems.
Simone: She is watching for her opponent to arrive And I don't blame her.
Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata begins to play across the sound system of the building and the crowd turns toward the entrance stage where Miss Manners emerges with a heart warming smile on her face and a hand in the air, greeting one and all politely.
Justin: Making her way to the ring from Madison Wisconsin, Miss Manners!
Not a single fan reaches out to her and some give her a thumbs down but she never the less smiles to them, holding hand over her heart as if she can feel their love and admiration as she arrives at ringside. She climbs up the steps and stares at Justin (or the male referee) and shouts, "Well aren't you going to hold the ropes open for a lady!?" prompting them to scramble over and hold the ropes open for her to step through. Miss Manners then walks around to the center of the ring with her arms held open and out, greeting the boos and jeers before returning to her corner.
Simone: She seems to be very prudish Jason
Adams: Prudish or not, she is debuting against Bea Barnhart who will make her mind her manners…pun intended.
DING DING DING!
The bell rings and Bea slowly moves to the center of the ring. Miss Manners comes to the middle as well which has Holly Wood warning both women to keep the match clean. Bea nods as Manners turns slightly to the referee. When she does, Bea levels her with a hard right across her face. Manners's hand goes to her lip to check for blood as Bea advances towards her and grabs her by the back of the head with a handful of hair to drag her towards the side of the ring. Bea is about to toss her through the ropes but Miss Manners elbows her in the midsection which beats her back. Fighting the pain, Manners pulls the hand of Bea from her hair then uses a hard elbow to force her backwards. Bea's hands move to her face as Manners shakes her head to fight off the pain. Bea can't believe it as she pulls her hands away, checking for blood as Manners watches, urging her to spin around. When Barnhart turns to Manners, Manners uses a drop kick to send her against the ropes. Barnhart rebounds and is caught by Manners. Reversing an arm drag attempt, Bea flips Manners to the mat with an arm drag of her own.
Adams: What a reversal Belinda but neither woman is making a move wrong.
Bea looks across the ring as Manners slowly makes her way to her hands and knees. Barnhart gets up and then moves to pull Manners to her feet. Spinning her around, Bea hits an atomic drop that sends Manners towards the ropes. Bea follows her and then begins to slam knees into the midsection of Manners who is lifted with each knee. Bea then leans out between the ropes and pulls up the head of her opponent. Manners can feel the pull on her back and reaches out to grab the arm of Bea and pulls it over the ropes to stop her from taking advantage. Manners gets to her feet and then pulls Bea Barnhart to the corner where she lays her on the middle turnbuckle before climbing to the top and then uses a jumping knee drop to drive Barnhart to the mat. Bea clutches her midsection as she curls up into a fetal position. Manners reaches down and grabs Bea by the ankle to lock in an ankle lock. Bea screams in pain as she reaches for the ropes for a break. Holly Wood leans down and reminds Miss Manners that a submission hold is broken by grabbing the ropes. Bea reaches up to grab the shirt of Holly before she falls again to the mat to hold her head. Manners torques the ankle more as she pulls Bea towards the corner. Keeping a slight hold on the ankle, Manners drops and rolls under the bottom rope to the outside.
Simone: Miss Manners is punishing Bea Barnhart with that ankle lock.
Bea begins to fight hold by kicking out at Manners as she struggles to pull her leg away from Manners. Barnhart's foot connects to the chest of Manners and manages to break the hold. Bea pulls herself out of the ring and begins to walk away from the ring before realizing that she is walking towards the ringsteps. Stopping she backpedals away from it as Manners gets on the ring apron before launching herself with a suicide dive on Bea on the outside. Both women are down on the floor fighting for breath as Holly leans through the ropes to check on both. Bea is laid out on her back as Manners clutches at her head that had connected with the barricade on the outside. Neither woman is able to get to their feet quickly as Bea gets to her knees. Manners is also on her knees as the two begin to trade rights and lefts. Getting to their feet, Manners grabs at the hand of Bea and then hits a knee to the midsection that doubles Bea over. With Barnhart vulnerable, Manners rolls her in the ring. Manners crawls in after her and stands to pull Bea up for a snap suplex that Manners hits Bea. Barnhart lands back first on the mat before grabbing her back.
Adams: That was close for Bea.
Simone: True. Fate was nice for Barnhart tonight but that had to be painful Jason.
Bea begins to crawl away as Manners gets to her feet yelling at the crowd screaming on the outside. Barnhart rolls into the corner. Bea is able to rest on the turnbuckles before she pulls herself up into the corner. Manners gets into the ring and then moves towards Bea who is quickly to her feet holding the ropes. Manners kicks out at Bea forcing her back into the corner once more. Manners hits the ten bell salute of kicks to the cornered Bea Barnhart. Bea sags slowly with each kick until at ten, she drops to the mat. Manners reaches down and pulls her to her feet and drags her towards the middle of the ring. Manners uses a knee to send her through the ropes but Bea is able to catch the top rope to prevent herself from falling to the outside. Manners angrily uses a jumping knee drop over the top rope on Bea that has her falling on the ring apron. Bea tries to roll back into the ring. Manners slips between the ropes and then picks up Barnhart. Leaning her against the ropes, Manners backs away and then charges in with a spear that drives Bea between the ropes to the outside.
Simone: This is twice that Bea almost lost this match. Violet is starting to get frustrated which will not be a good thing.
Manners gets out on the apron and pulls Bea to her feet. The two begin to struggle as they use right hands to punch each other. Finally, Bea begins to gain an advantage of Manners who is staggered back slightly. Reaching for the head of Manners, Bea steps into the ring through the ropes then hits a modified bulldog on Manners driving her face first onto the apron. Manners lays there as Bea pulls her to her feet on the apron, Grabbing Manners around the midsection, Bea looks down and is about to hit a belly to belly slam but Manners is able to counter and hits a suplex of her own that sends both women slamming to the floor. Bea rolls with the move as Manners is arched in pain. Bea gets to her feet then picks up Miss Manners by the hair and rolls her into the ring. Sliding into the ring behind her, Bea steps behind her and watches as Manners slowly gets to her feet and staggers slightly. Bea catches her and locks in a sleeper hold that has Miss Manners windmilling her arms trying to escape. Bea leaps slightly bending the neck of Miss Manners and sending her to the mat. Holly Wood picks up the arm of Manners and watches as it drops to the mat. Picking it up a second time, it falls to the mat and Bea leans over the neck as Holly Wood picks up the arm and watches as it wavers then falls to the mat. Holly motions for the bell.
Simone: Bea Barnhart has knocked out Miss Manners… how rude.
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match, Bea Barnhart!
Bea Barnhart gets to her feet as Bill joins her at the ringside area to help her up.
Adams: Bea Barnhart is the winner of this match tonight but it was very close. Miss Manners definitely had her share of chances to beat Bea.
Bea continues to celebrate in the ring as Miss Manners heads up the ramp.
Simone: This super Card has been shaping up to be quite the card and I know that it can only get better from here on out.
Adams: The action has been amazing and…
All of a sudden the lights in the arena all fade to black. We see an image appear on the screen with a figure walking on the yellow brick road.
Female Voice: My journey has led me to here… Tuscan Arizona, It's time…The rope and the mask comes off as of tonight!!!
With that the spotlights hit the entrance curtain and we can hear a loud voice emerging throughout the speakers.
"WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?!?!?!"
As soon as that is said we can hear the loud sounds of Real Emotion by Koda Kumi playing loudly across the speakers. We see the figure emerge from behind the curtains and she just stops as she stands in the aisle. She takes the rope off and exposes a pair of brown ugg boots along with a beautiful blue skirt dress. That figure is none other than Crystal Zdunich. Zdunich smirks as she begins to run down the aisle and claps the outstretched hands of all of the fans. She slides into the ring and quickly calls for a microphone as the crowd lets her have it.
LET'S GO CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL SUCKS!
LET'S GO CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL SUCKS!
Crystal paces around the ring and she takes it all in as she is handed a microphone and begins to speak.
Crystal: Damn… You have no idea how good it feels to be standing inside of an SCW ring. Honestly just to hear all of you chanting my name, whether they are boos or cheers it just feels so good. It means the entire world to me. To be honest it has been a very long time since I stood anywhere close to an SCW ring. I haven't been backstage; I haven't been on a show. I haven't done anything. The last time I was seen anyone on a show was on a Super Card in a losing effort to Courtney Pierce and that was before she became a champion. However, before I tell you why I am here or where I plan to go, I think it's very important to know where I have been.
Crystal takes a long deep breath as she continues to share her heart.
Crystal: My journey is one that goes back to last year. To be honest I didn't put in the effort. I know I might be a five-time World Champion here. I might be a Hall of Famer and have all of the accolades but last year I just lost sense of myself. I freaking didn't put it what people were accustomed from me. Bella destroyed me in the ring. She dropped me with 9 Ashes to Ashes to the point I left the arena as a crumbled heap. I didn't want that to be the end of my story so I vowed on everything to return. I did exactly just that. I came back at the beginning of the year and I won the invitational match for the Roulette Championship. I poured my heart into that match and it paid off. I built up some steam and I was a fighting champion until I just lost the passion I have for wrestling. I had to face Luna Vanity in a title defense and I didn't show up. The same way I was involved in a big match with Courtney Pierce and I did the same exact thing. I no showed match after no showed.
Crystal let's tears flow from her cheeks as she begins to get emotional.
Crystal: I was let go from my SCW contract and I found work elsewhere but the same mannerisms followed with me. I didn't put in any work ethic. I no showed over and over again. I can sit here and try to make up excuses after excuses but the reality is my situation was a lot worse than I was letting on. The truth is this year I have been suffering from a severe drug problem. I was addicted to cocaine. I had ended my sobriety of giving up on alcohol and I picked up on that. As much as I wanted to hide it the signs started to show. Seleana caught me lying to her when I told her I was out of town and she found me in a bathroom in a Vegas casino snorting cocaine. My…
Crystal lets more tears flow from her eyes as they hit the ground below.
Crystal: My thirteen year old daughter and my goddaughter both caught me unconscious in the middle of the floor after downing a bottle of Grey Goose and when they questioned me I bribed them to keep it quiet and to hide it from my wife. I was a complete wreck. I want to thank Daniel J Morgan because he could have been done with me. He could have cast me aside and fire me from my position at the Golden Ring Casino but instead he showed compassion and he helped me get help. Hell other owners from different companies wanted me to get help and I am here to announce that I have been getting the help that I needed. I went through a 12 step program and completed all of them. Seleana's sister Zenna is my sponsor and I am in a good place.
This draws a huge pop from the crowd and she smirks as she looks around.
Crystal: Ever since I came to SCW I have never been happy. I have always tried to be somebody else. Even from the beginning when I wrestled under the mask and was La Paloma. I was afraid of the woman behind the mask. I was afraid of me being me. I am not out here to preach a redemption story because it's been long played out. Instead this is all about recovery, this is all about being me. SCW is home to me and it's time I do this thing the right way. The other day I heard Roxi talking about the division being a garden and watching how things are blossoming. This rose wants to be in full bloom and it's only right that I do it here. I mean this roster is very deep. This people here I would like to face.
Crystal nods her head as the crowd cheers some more.
Crystal: I know there are a bunch of women in the locker room who don't care for me but honestly I respect that. Respect isn't going to be instantly handed on a platter and I wouldn't expect it to be. It's going to take time and I will work my ass off to get it. There are things that are left unfinished. I am not going to sit around and watch bombshell after bombshell disrespect my wife. I am not going to crush the heart of my thirteen year old and have her question why I walked away. So consider this me saying I am back. It's time to grind from the bottom up and hopefully work my way back in. It's been fun Arizona but I have a certain Hot Stuff to speak with.
With that Crystal exits the ring and claps the hands of the fans as she walks back down the aisle.
We put to the backstage area where we see Ms. Rocky Mountains rubbing her aching arm as Peter and Eddie watch on.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: First time wasn't bad enough, now they put that damn match on the same show as another Roulette Title Match!
Rocky shakes her head before giving the wheel a spin and it stops on……….12 Matches of Christmas.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: NOPE! I QUIT! I'M NOT DOING THAT MATCH TWICE IN ONE NIGHT, NUH UH, NADA, NE……..
And then it nudges over to First Blood.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Err, forget I said that! First participant to make their opponent bleed wins!
Eddie and Peter nod before they walk off.
Simone: Welcome back to December 2 Dismember and if you thought the Roulette Title Match between Alexandra and Bobbie was wild? Well, the men's title match won't be as long but it will be just as violent as Peter Vaughn defends against Eddie Lyons in a First Blood Match!
Adams: The rules couldn't be simpler, the only way to win is by making the opponent bleed! And we've already seen the women's Roulette Title change hands, will the same bode true for the men's?
Simone: One way to answer that question, let's take it to Justin!
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the following is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SCW Roulette Championship! And thanks to a spin of the wheel, we know that it'll be a First Blood Match! First participant to draw blood wins!
As Clouds by NF begins A fog fills the stage area, as Eddie Lyons appears in the middle, hoodie up, and arms folded. He stands there looking down at the ring for a few moments. Shooting a fist into the air, Eddie pulls his hoodie down, and makes his way down the ramp, tagging the hands of a few fans along the way before climbing the stairs into the ring. Eddie extends his arms to both sides then drops to a knee, and punches the mat, he then moves to his corner to await the start of the match.
Justin: Introducing the challenger, from Baltimore, Maryland, weighing 230ibs, he is "Unbreakable" Eddie Lyons!
Simone: Eddie has been intertwined with the title scene since he arrived in SCW but he's yet to be able to crack the glass ceiling between him and wining his first title in SCW!
Adams: Maybe tonight will be a night of firsts, for both Bobbie and Eddie?
Justin: And his opponent!
The lights in the arena go out, causing the usual hysteria from the crowd. After a few seconds, Peter Vaughn's face appears on the big tron, darkly smirking down at the fans.
"This Time... It's Different."
Justin: From Dallas, Texas, weighing 185lbs he is the reigning and defending SCW Roulette Champion "The Mechanic" PETER VAUGHN!
After Vaughn finishes speaking, he begins to laugh. His laughter carries on as the Tron video overtakes his image, beginning with "This Time It's Different" by Evans Blue. Vaughn comes out from the back, smiling at the reaction he's getting. He stops on the ramp, surveying the hatred from the crowd. From Vaughn's reaction, you'd think they were chanting his name, as he walks down the aisle with a cocky smile. He heads straight through the ropes and into his corner, stretching and preparing for a fight.
Simone: Peter has been on a tear in SCW since he arrived here earlier this year, not just capturing the Roulette Championship after his Saviours teammate Goth was forced to vacate it due to injury but managing to break the long standing record set by SCW Hall of Famer Griffin Hawkins in the process.
Adams: One wonders what Peter will accomplish when he does get out of the Roulette Division but so far no one in the Roulette Division has been able to take the title from him!
Jacob goes over the rules with both men and once both champion and challenger nod to confirm that they understand Jacob goes to take the Roulette Title from Peter but the champ instead goes to whack Eddie in the face with it! Eddie ducks under the title belt shot and starts delivering forearms and kicks to the champ causing Peter to drop the title, Jacob retrieves the title and holds it up above his head before calling for the bell as champion and challenger engage in a brawl.
DING DING DING!
Simone: And the second Roulette Title Match of the night is underway!
Adams: This should be brutal!
After a few minutes of brawling Eddie ducks under a wild right hand from Peter and sends him reeling backwards with a European Uppercut that knocks the champion back, Peter retaliates though with a high dropkick that sends his challenger out of the ring! Eddie lands near the announcer's desk and upon realizing this he grabs the timekeeper's chair whilst Peter charges the ropes for a dive, but that's as far as he gets as Eddie slams the chair into Peter's face dropping him to the floor.
Simone: Eddie making full use of the fact that First Blood Matches are No DQ by design.
Adams: And that could've just busted Peter open, Jacob is checking on him now!
Jacob leaves the ring to check on the champ whilst Eddie watches on ready to strike of Peter hasn't been busted open yet! However Jacob confirms that whilst Peter did have a rough collision with the steel chair, it wasn't enough to bust him open and Eddie decides to change tactics, dragging Peter over to the steel steps and resting Peter's head against the steps, Eddie than raises the steel chair to the crowd indicating just how far he will go to win the title.
Simone: Eddie has evil intention with the chair!
Adams: If that's what it takes to take the title from Peter than that's he'll do!
Eddie goes for the strike but Eddie moves out of the way just in time to avoid the steel chair causing it to collide with the steps! Peter then heads up to the nearest top rope and executes a Top Rope DDT on Eddie dropping him face first onto the steps! Peter motions to Jacob to come out and check on Eddie to see if that move busted him open but when Jacob confirms that Eddie isn't bleeding as a result of that move Peter takes the steel chair from Eddie's hands.
Simone: Two attempts each at busting each other open and neither Eddie nor Peter have succeeded.
Adams: The only thing that matters is drawing blood from the opponent, everything else is secondary.
Peter sets up the chair in a seated position and waits for Eddie to get up! When the challenger does get back to his feet Peter gets a running start and springboards off the Steel Chair but whatever Peter had in mind quickly goes out the window as Eddie cuts him off in mid-air with a spear! Both wrestlers go down and normally at this point Jacob would start applying a ten count, but as this is a First Blood Match and therefore No DQ or countout, Jacob is left without much to go with,
Simone: Peter and Eddie are down after that mid-air collision and now neither of them are in a good position to win!
Adams: Whoever gets up first will have the advantage!
Eddie eventually gets up to his feet first and is unsteady on his feet, but when he sees the steel chair he introduced earlier still in the same position he left it earlier Eddie grabs the chair and returns to the ring with it, Peter soon follows suit but Eddie clobbers Peter with the chair across the back as soon as he gets back in the ring dropping the champ, Eddie keeps at it continuingly whacking Peter over with the chair until it breaks, but even after all that? Peter's still not busted open.
Simone: And now Eddie has Peter on the backfoot, but Peter is not busted open, no matter what Eddie tries!
Adams: Forget that! We need a new chair for the timekeeper!
Eddie looks frustrated at this point and leaves the ring, retrieving three steel chairs from under the ring, the first one he gives to the timekeeper to replace the one he broke but the other two he takes into the ring with him, dropping one chair onto the matt and the other he wedges between the top and middle turnbuckles in one of the corners! When Eddie turns around Peter is back on his feet and he charges in for a Spear which Eddie ducks out of the way off!
Simone: That was almost a collision that Eddie would've regretted big time!
Adams: Same goes for Peter really.
Peter manages to stop himself from colliding with the chair by mere seconds and he turns around only to be met with a stiff forearm to the face before going to whip Peter into the chair, however Peter reverse it and sends the challenger into the chair! The chair goes flying and Eddie slumps down in the corner, at which point Jacob checks on him but confirms that there is no blood on Eddie's forehead and Peter picks up the Steel Chair.
Simone: Eddie wasn't busted open by that collision but I think that rocked him.
Adams: And now Peter has the other chair, I wonder what he has in mind for him?
Eddie stumbles up to his feet and Peter wraps the chair around his head, then without warning, Peter hits The Key on Eddie dropping Eddie through first on the chair! Eddie thrashes around clutching his throat but more importantly? He coughs up blood!
Simone: Wait, does that count? Don't get me wrong, I'm concerned for Eddie's health after that move but will causing the opponent to cough up blood count?
Adams: I think it does because Jacob's calling for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner and STILL SCW ROULETTE CHAMPION, PETER VAUGHN!
Simone: That confirms it! Peter will continue his record breaking reign into the new year!
Adams: Who can take that title from him at this point?
Peter celebrates his win whilst the medics check on Eddie.
We are backstage as some of the kids from the Boys and Girls Club that we saw earlier are taking advantage of their backstage passes and being led down the hall by Miles into a room that has turned into the meet and greet area that is decked out in quite a spectacular Christmas theme. Miles is surrounded by a group of kids, all buzzing with energy. Some are running around, one of the smaller ones is getting a piggyback ride from Miles, and there's an overall sense of joy and chaos.
Miles: Alright, alright, settle down, everyone! We've got some amazing superstars back here for you to meet, but we need to do it in an orderly fashion.
The kids, however, seem to have a mind of their own, and the chaos continues.
Miles: Guys, listen! I swear you will get to meet some of your favorites here in just a few! Just settle-
We hear a loud whistle that catches everyone's attention as Miles and everyone turns around to see Bella Madison, who is already decked out in her special gear for the night and her mom, Laura Phoenix, enter the scene. Both are familiar faces in the SCW world and the kids, especially the girls immediately head in their direction.
Laura Phoenix: Hey, kids! My goodness all this energy! This is awesome!
Bella Madison: Come on, everyone! Let's give Miles a break here.
The kids laugh as they turn all their attention to Bella and Laura.
Miles: Ladies, thank you for the assist.
Laura Phoenix: Anytime, Miles. We know how to handle a lively bunch.
Bella Madison: Mom skills come in handy everywhere.
Miles: Just in time too, I'm out-numbed back here.
The camera shows the kids now gathered around Bella and Laura, excitedly chatting and ready to meet their favorite superstars.
Miles: If you guys are good, I'm going to go hunt down the rest of the crew.
Laura Phoenix: Oh yeah we got this! Go!
Miles: Bless you.
We cut to the backstage area where we can see Crystal Zdunich holding a huge bag as she stands face to face with Hot Stuff Mark Ward. Crystal sighs before she places the bag on Mark's desk.
Crystal: I know we need to have a chat and I have some stuff to say.
HS: When have you never had stuff to say?
He opens the bag and finds bottles upon bottles of different types of alcohol.
Crystal: Consider this a gift and also I need to get it out of my house. A recovering addict and alcoholic shouldn't be holding onto this type of stuff and it will be better with you. I… I want to apologize for everything. All of the no shows, all of the half assed attempts among everything else, I want to say sorry for it all.
Crystal let's tears escape her eyes as she continues to speak.
Crystal: You don't realize how much this is home to me. I love being in this company, and I appreciate the time you gave me out in the ring earlier but everything wouldn't feel right if I didn't make it more permanent. I know I have made some enemies in the locker room because of what I did in the past and I have learned to accept my shortcomings and the problem that I am as an individual. I am not going to deny anything or say I am not a bad person because as history shows often I can't be trusted but if there is one thing that I am completely honest about…
Crystal looks around the office and back at HS.
Crystal: It's this place. It's being here at home. It didn't matter if I was booed out the building. If I was public enemy number one. If I sat in this office as Christina Rose as your assistant, or the woman that betrayed Despy. It didn't matter if it was Rosa Ardiente, Crystal Millar, Crystal Hilton, Paloma, Crystal Z… Damn it really is a mouthful isn't it?! The truth is I like this company. I love you and Christian, and appreciate all of the opportunities that I have ever gotten. My legacy cannot end with that piss poor performance against Courtney Pierce or dropping the Roulette Championship against Luna Vanity. I want to change the narrative on me. I want to end my place again, I have to earn my respect and rewrite the narrative of Crystal Hilton.
HS: You've burned more bridges then anyone else I've ever known, you've let me down, you've let the people you worked with down and you let the fans down. They paid to see you and you let them down. This is a bad idea for you to even think about coming back here because these people are not as fogiving as you think they might be.
Crystal stands there taking it all in.
Crystal: I know there are about twenty thousand reasons why you shouldn't do it. Hell the whole roster would love if you didn't but I want to be back on the roster full time in the New Year. You and Christian took a chance on a girl back in 2014 who had lost her way and hell didn't even know of a way. She worked hard came through the roster and became Roulette Champion. She worked hard and somehow beat a Mercedes Vargas to put herself in a main event spot. I wasn't good enough back then. I had lost some big matches but I had showed the heart and determination that I could be good. When 2016 came around I took off. I climbed to the top I became a BFTP winner, I had become woman of the year and most improved all in the same year. Those were definitely the highlight of my career and that summer of Hilton can't ever be replaced.
HS: The summer of Hilton was ego, it was you on a power trip.
Crystal: Yeah, that little redhead was fired up about competing. That's before I got blinded by the spotlight and everything of trying to be too big for what I thought I was. I want to get back to that time. I want to do this right and all I want is for you to not listen to the outside sources but listen to your heart. Take a chance on that same girl that is given you her word that she will work hard be dedicated to climbing up through the rankings to be that woman again. The year 2024 WILL be the year of Crystal Zdunich if you allow it. I WILL be woman of the year! I will have my moment and I damn sure will go on to eventually become a 6 time champion because you know I am not going to share being a five timer with Roxi seeing as she just tied the mark. I have the drive to be back up, and I will work from the very bottom to get to where I need to be.
HS just listens as he looks at her.
HS: Yeah, I'm not sure on this...
Crystal: I don't care if I curtain jerk for the entire year. If I am on ring crew duty and have to set up the ring and venues for every show. My path is recovery and getting back to form. Respect is not given it's earned and I want that chance to prove to everyone in that locker room that I can be trusted. It's not just for them or for you guys though. It's for me… I want to do this because I want to do it. I am willing to humble myself and after beating drug addiction I know I can beat anything. Whatever your answer is I respect it and I thank you for the 9 years of allowing me to do what I do best here. I love you Mark, I love Christian and I love that you created an environment for me. Thank you for all of those years and they won't be forgotten.
Crystal walks around and hugs HS as tightly as she can.
Crystal: Whatever you decide I respect but Dorothy just wants to return home, and it's just not the same if I am not around…
Hot Stuff runs his fingers through his hair and looks at Crystal...
HS: Well, I guess it's Christmas after all and I am in the mood for giving but I swear to Jesus and Santa while we're at it, one fuck up...
Crystal: There won't be...
HS: Then we better talk business...
The camera cuts elsewhere.
Justin: Our next match is a Standard Rules match and it should prove to be a great match. This match is a Standard Rules match with a win obtained by pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification. First to make his way to the ring, he is from New York City, New York, and he comes into this match at six feet four inches and two hundred thirty-nine pounds, please give a great Tucson, Arizona, welcome to THE MESSIAH OF PAIN. . .GOTH!!!
Ain't No Grave by Johnny Cash begins to play and we hear the guitar play before Johnny Cash starts to sing. This brings out Melissa and Kat Jones upon the entrance ramp. Both stand on either side before Goth walks out wearing a dark overall and a mask with a crown of thorns attached to it as he stares towards the ring. Goth stops between Melissa and Kat and he raises his head towards the air as he extends his arms. Both Melissa and Kat walk towards the ring as Goth follows them towards the ring. The two women walk up the ramp as they open up the ropes for Goth. He steps through the ropes before the lights go down when Johnny Cash sings that "There Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down." The lights come back up again as Goth has taken off the overall and can be seen standing in the middle of the ring still wearing the crown. Melissa slowly takes it off as this gives Goth the chance to look at the entrance ramp to await his opponent.
Adams: Ugh! Goth is too much theatrics for my liking. Why not make a simple entrance without all the added stuff?
Simone: Because he is Goth.
Justin: Next to make their way to the ring, he is from Seattle, Washington, and he comes into this match at five feet nine inches and one hundred seventy-two pounds, please give a great Tucson, Arizona, welcome for THE HARDCORE BOTTOM. . .HELLUVA BOTTOM CARTER!!!
5 Seconds of Summer's hits and "NO SHAME" erupts over the sound system 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. Carter runs toward the ring, slapping hands offered out to him all around the ringside area. He then hops up onto the ring apron in a split and slides beneath the bottom rope. He crawls seductively on all fours until he arrives in his corner. He pulls himself up and removes his shades and jacket, passing them out to the ringside attendant before laying across the top corner glaring at Goth.
Adams: Now that is what I call a classy and exciting entrance by a wrestler.
Simone: Yeah, okay, whatever! The bottom line in this match is that Goth has a seven inch height advantage over Carter along with sixty-seven pounds more weight. It will be nearly impossible for Helluva Bottom Carter to overcome those odds.
Adams: Dream on Belinda! Carter is usually assigned against wrestlers who are taller and heavier than him and he has overcome those odds. He will overcome the odds again against Goth.
Simone: Yeah...sure...of course...nonsense!
Referee Dawn Barnes motions for Goth and Helluva Bottom Carter to join her in the center of the ring. She informs both wrestlers that this is a Standard Rules match and a win is obtained by a pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification. Referee Barnes then checks Carter and Goth to ensure they do not have any foreign objects or illegal substances on them. Satisfied that both wrestlers are clean Referee Barnes informs both wrestlers to return to their corners and then come out fighting when they hear the bell from the Timekeeper that officially starts their match. As soon as Goth and Helluva Bottom Carter return to their corners Referee Barnes motions to the Timekeeper to ring the bell to start this match.
DING DING DING!
Adams: Here we go! I have a feeling that Carter is going to pull some moves on Goth that may throw Goth off-balance.
Simone: Seriously? With a huge height and weight advantage Carter is not going to be able to overcome that.
Both Goth and Helluva Bottom Carter come out of their corners and both approach each other in the center of the ring with both being cautious as they know what the other is capable of. Goth motions to Carter for a test-of-strength lock-up. Goth raises his arms up and moves his hands towards Carter waiting for Carter to do the test-of-strength thing. As Carter is moving his arms and hands up a grin comes across the face of Goth as he is confident that once they have the lock-up test-of-strength he will have the advantage over the smaller wrestler. When the hands of Carter are just inches away from the hands of Goth we watch as Carter drops to the mat, instead of going the lock-up of hands, and he drive his foot hard into the kneecap of Goth. This catches Goth by surprise and he quickly moves away from Carter. As Goth is moving away Carter charges Goth and hits him with a leaping kick to the side of his head. This drops Goth to the mat and he quickly rolls out of the ring to break the momentum of Carter. Referee Dawn Barnes orders Carter to stay back to allow her to make a count on Goth on the outside of the ring and to also allow Goth the ability to reinter the ring. Referee Barnes then turns to the side of the ring where Goth is on the arena floor and begins her count.
ONE!
Melissa and Kat check on Goth and it appears to be okay. Goth walks to the ring steps where he starts up the steps to get to the ring apron.
Adams: Awwww, Belinda, I told you that Helluva Bottom Carter was full of surprises. He may be shorter and weigh less than Goth but he is quick and smart in the ring.
TWO!
Simone: We will see how long that lasts once Goth returns inside the ring.
THREE!
Goth is on the ring apron and he steps through the ropes into the ring. Goth then leans back in the corner and asks Referee Dawn Barnes to keep Helluva Bottom Cater away until he is ready to back into the action of the match. Referee Barnes informs Goth that since he is legally inside the ring the match will continue and she will not restrict Carter from going after him. Realizing he cannot argue that with Referee Barnes we see Goth step out of the corner and he approaches Helluva Bottom Carter as Carter is approaching him.
Adams: I can tell Carter is ready to get back into the action but I am sure he is being cautious as Goth is known for being unconventional at times to get the advantage over an opponent.
Simone: Gee, Jason, it sounds like you are conceding the win to Goth.
Adams: No. I am just being logical about what could happen in a wrestling match.
Goth and Carter approach each other and the are nose-to-nose jawing at each other. Neither is willing to back down to the other. Cater takes a step back then he steps forward and throws a blow to hit Goth. Goth is quick to raise his arm and he blocks the blow. And as quickly as Goth blocked the blow he quickly grabs the arm of Helluva Bottom Carter and pulls the arm behind Carter where he has a hammerlock firmly applied. Then, as if Goth took a page out of the playbook of Bill Barnhart he lifts Helluva Bottom Carter off the mat in a Hammerlock Lift. Although the maneuver has an affect on Carter it appears that his lighter weight is a benefit as there is not as much pressure to his shoulder as happens when a heavier wrestler has the Hammerlock Lift applied to them.
Simone: Looks like Carter should submit or risk an injured shoulder and arm.
Adams: With his quickness and agility in the wrestling ring I am sure Carter will figure a way around this.
No sooner did Jason Adams utter those words we see Helluva Bottom Carter moving around to the point where Goth is slightly off-balance. Carter continues to move around to the point when he gets his feet back on the mat. Goth still has the Hammerlock applied but Carter manages to drive his feet hard on the mat and pick up speed while running towards a corner. When Carter and Goth are a short distance from the corner we see Carter bend forward just before slamming into the corner and this causes Goth to fly over the back of Carter where Goth slams hard into the corner where it appears he not only slammed his shoulder into the corner but he may have also slammed his legs into the corner and mat.
Adams: I told you Helluva Bottom Carter would figure out a way to get out of the hold.
Simone: He just got lucky that time.
Helluva Bottom Carter quickly grabs the arm of Goth and he wrenches the arm, and twists it, and lands several hard blows to the shoulder of Goth. Although Goth is fighting back we can tell he is not at full capacity due to a sore shoulder and a hurt knee and legs when he slammed into the corner. Carter keeps applying more pressure to the arm and shoulder of Goth and Referee Dawn Barnes steps in to ask Goth if he wants to submit and he tells her he will not submit. Carter maneuvers Goth away from the corner then he drops Goth to the mat where Goth is in a sitting position. Carter grabs both arms of Goth while at the same time pressing his feet hard into the lower back of Goth. With Helluva Bottom Carter pushing his feet into the lower back of Goth while at the same time pulling back on the arms of Goth we hear Goth groan from the hold and the pain it is causing. Referee Barnes again asks Goth if he wants to submit and again he refuses to submit.
Adams: The smart move for Goth is to submit in the match to avoid further injury.
Simone: I do not see Goth uttering a submission.
We watch as Helluva Bottom Carter releases his hold on Goth and then he stands back a distance to see what condition Goth is in when Goth gets to his feet. Carter observes that for sure the shoulder and lower back of Goth is still hurting but it is hard to know about the knee of Goth. Carter holds back until Goth is on his feet and then he slowly approaches Goth. When the two are a short distance from each other Goth surprises Carter with a Clothesline but Carter quickly returns to his feet which is not what Goth expected to happen. Goth grabs Carter and executed a Suplex on him. Although Carter landed hard on the mat he still manages to return to his feet quicker than Goth was expecting.
Adams: Carter is very agile and able to get back upright after a blow or maneuver is executed upon him.
Simone: If Carter keeps getting hit by Goth and slammed into the mat he will run out of the ability to avoid further moves and holds.
Goth grabs the arm of Carter and whips him into the ropes. When Carter rebounds off the ropes Goth bends forward to catch Carter coming off the ropes and backflip him over his head. However when Carter is approaching Goth he kicks Goth hard in the head and before Goth can stand up all the way Carter lands another hard kick to the chest of Goth who drops face-first to the mat. As Goth is working on getting up to his knees we watch as Helluva Bottom Carter quickly runs to the ropes and rebounds off the ropes where he runs even harder to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, passing Goth on the way, where he rebounds off the ropes again. We see Carter pass Goth again to rebound off the ropes on the other side of the ring again. Before Carter can rebound off the ropes again Goth has managed to get up on his knees. Carter flies across the ring at Goth and he lands a perfectly executed Shining Wizard that drops Goth face-first to the mat. Carter turns Goth onto his back and goes for the pin tightly hooking the legs of Goth. Referee Dawn Barns is quick to drop into position for the count on the pin attempt.
ONE!
Simone: No!
TWO!
Simone: Nooooo!!!
THREE!
Adams: Yesssss!!!
Referee Barnes motions that this match is over and the Timekeeper rings the bell.
DING DING DING!
Referee Darn Barnes orders Helluva Bottom Carter to get off of Goth and he does. She motions for Carter to stand next to her.
Justin: Ladies and Gentlemen the official decision 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. When Referee Barnes releases the hand of Carter he walks over to make sure Goth is okay. Although Goth did not get the result he wanted to get in this match he lets Carter know that he will be okay shortly. Helluva Bottom Carter waves to the crowd before exiting the ring to head back to the backstage area.
Adams: Well, Belinda, are you going to admit I was right in this match?
Simone: - mumbles -
Adams: What was that you said Belinda? I did not hear you clearly.
Simone: Okay. . .okay. . .you were right with your prediction on the outcome of this match! Sheesh!
Backstage at December 2 Dismember, the bustling energy of the arena was palpable. Alexandra Calaway, adorned in her wrestling gear, navigated through the labyrinth of corridors with purpose. As she turned a corner, she encountered Miles, a familiar face and a friendly one at that.
Miles: Hey, Alexandra! Not looking too bad after that match.
Alexandra: Always, Miles. What brings you here?
Miles: Well, I've got some special guests today. Kids from the Boys and Girls Club. They're thrilled to be here.
Alexandra's eyes lit up with genuine excitement. The thought of bringing smiles to young faces resonated deeply with her.
Alexandra: That's fantastic! Where are they?
Miles: Right this way.
As they walked together, the backstage area transformed into a haven of anticipation and preparation. Then, in a quiet corner, a group of kids, wide-eyed and full of enthusiasm, awaited their chance to meet a real-life wrestling star. Upon their arrival, Alexandra greets both Laura and Bella, giving them both a hug.
Miles: Everyone, this is Alexandra Calaway, one of the absolute best in the business! And one of my really good friends.
The kids erupted in cheers, their enthusiasm infectious. Alexandra grinned, soaking in the joyous atmosphere.
Alexandra: Hey there! Are you all excited for the show?
Kid #1: Yeah!
Alexandra chuckled, kneeling down to their level.
Alexandra: What about you? Are you having a good time?
Kid #2: The best! Miles said we might even get to see some cool moves up close!
Miles: Absolutely, folks! Everyone here knows how to put on a show.
Alexandra: Well, I can't disappoint, can I? How about a little preview?
The kids' eyes widened, and a collective "Yes!" echoed through the corridor. Alexandra, with a playful grin, demonstrated a quick, controlled spin and kick, showcasing the athleticism that made her a force in the ring. The kids erupted in cheers once more.
Kid #3: That was awesome!
Alexandra: Glad you liked it. Now, you're all honorary members of the Sin City Wrestling roster tonight. How about that?
The kids exchanged excited glances, a unanimous "Yes!" vibrating through the air. Alexandra's heart warmed at the genuine joy in their faces.
Miles: Thanks for making their day, Alexandra.
Alexandra: Anytime, Miles. It's moments like these that make it all worthwhile.
As the kids basked in the backstage excitement, Alexandra Calaway, found herself inspired by the pure delight of these young fans. In that shared moment, the chaotic world of professional wrestling embraced the simple joy of making a difference in the lives of those who look up to their heroes, something she would never turn down doing, no matter who asked.
The scene opens backstage where we see one of the four Bombshells in the Golden Briefcase Ladder Match, namely the Australian Bombshell Krystal Wolfe who has a lot on her mind.
Krystal: I keep quiet and just take things as they go, and no one takes notice off me, I decide to vent my frustrations on Twitter, X, whatever the fuck that idiot is calling it these days, and what happens?
Krystal holds a fist up to the side of her head and expands it out making an explosion sound with her mouth.
Krystal: Everyone loses their minds, can't wait for the same energy towards someone like Courtney fucking Pierce.
Krystal scoffs as she shakes her head.
Krystal: Make no mistake, when I beat Luna, Seleana, and Georgie tonight in the Golden Briefcase Ladder Match? I'm putting every champion in SCW's Bombshell Division on notice! Doesn't matter if it's the brand new Bombshell Roulette Champion Bobbie Dahl or whoever wins between Courtney and Ariana and Bella and Julianna I am going to make their lives hell over the next twelve months, or maybe even sooner than that?
Krystal smirks as she makes a fist.
Krystal: You see, there's only one Bombshell who will know who I'm going to cash in on and where, do I go after Bobbie and finish my unfinished business in the Bombshell Roulette Division? Do I go after either Ariana or Courtney and hold a title I've never had before? Or do I set my sights on Bella or Julianna? Prove once and for all that Bella is a choke artist who got lucky? That information stays with me and me alone.
Krystal says as she flips some hair over her shoulder.
Krystal: And by the time either of those champions finds out? It'll be too damn late to stop me! Happy New Year motherfuckers!
Krystal walks off as the scene fades.
The next close up shot is that of the Golden Briefcase suspended twenty feet above the six-sided ring. The camera then pans out to the surrounding capacity crowd and Justin Decent standing inside of the ring, microphone in hand.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Golden Briefcase Ladder match!
The fans cheer!
Justin: The rules are; all four Bombshells begin the match together! The object, climb the ladder to retrieve the Golden Briefcase suspended over the ring! The Bombshell that is the first to retrieve the Briefcase is awarded a championship contract which they can use any time in the year 2024!
Cheers!
Justin: Introducing first...!
The slow intro for "Beneath" by Delain is heard over the arena's speakers and once Dianne Leah's vocals kick in Krystal emerges from the back with an expressionless look on her face.
Justin: From Adelaide, Australia and representing the Go Gym, KRYSTAL WOLFE!
Krystal nods at being announced before she makes her way down the ramp with her eyes on the prize, she enters the ring and waits in the corner for her opponents.
Justin: Introducing...!
The lights begin to dull, going to almost complete black. The opening chime, a single spotlight appearing above Luna Pasilno. A large smile plastered across her face, hands raising to her sides, palms downwards, hands bent somewhat. "'Cause I'm a King," plays out as blue lights begin to pulse across the arena in time with the music. Her hands thrust down rapidly, striding forth. Rolling her hips heavily with each measured and purposeful step.
Justin: Please welcome Luna Pasilno!
The crowd roaring with boos and dissent, vitriol flowing from them. She comes to a stop at the base of the ramp, eyes fixed on the centre of the ring. She bends at the knee slightly, turning side on and throwing her head back. One hand pressing the back of her wrist against her head, hand hanging flaccidly, the other still resting on her hip. "There is a god, and she is me," she bounces up slightly, bringing her hand from her hip up in full flourish and 'shows herself off', taking a few quick steps before swinging one leg up onto the apron. Hooking her hands, she pulls herself up and under, bringing the other leg up in a momentary split as she slides beneath the bottom rope. She sits and turns, pulling herself up with the ropes, and slowly backing into the middle of the ring. Shimmying her jacket off in the process.
Justin: Introducing...!
The throbbing beat of Adam Lambert's For your entertainment fills the venue. A body can be seen in shadow as the fans turn towards the entrance. A strobing light flashes behind the body that turns slowly as a spotlight slowly lights up the ramp area and kills the strobe to reveal a brunette in a black leather jacket over black tights and staring down into the ring, a slow smirk beginning to cross her lips. Heading to the ring, she stops at the ring stairs and then moves slowly up to the apron and into the ring where she moves towards a corner and leans back against the turnbuckles with one foot on the bottom rope.
Justin: From South London, she is Georgie Robertson!
The smirk returns as she looks at the camera and snaps off a contemptuous salute before pulling off the jacket to reveal a dark halter with silver buckles on it. She turns and once more leans into the corner to await the bell.
Justin: And finally...!
The arena fades to black as the screen lights up and we are treated to an old school movie countdown image.

Suddenly the countdown is stopped by claws slashing through the image and a cat's roar sounds through the arena. Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" blasts through the speakers and Seleana Zdunich walks through the entranceway and makes her way to the ring, slapping hands along the way as the crowd cheers her on.
Justin: From Halmstad, Sweden -- Seleana Zdunich!
The crowd cheers as Seleana blows a kiss with both hands, acknowledging them!
Simone: And it is time to determine the Bombshell Golden Briefcase winner!
DING DING DING!
The Bombshell's Golden Briefcase ladder match has begun as we see Krystal Wolfe immediately slide out of the ring to grab for a ladder as we see luna, Seleana and Georgie Robertson get face to face to face with each other. Luna starts to badmouth both women before giving a slap across the face of Seleana, causing Seleana to stare at the crowd before turning her attention back to Luna.
Simone: Uh oh…
Seleana blasts a forearm into the face of Luna, startling the smaller Bombshell before whipping her into the ropes before knocking her out of the ring with a big time boot to the face. That drops Luna down hard upon the canvas before Georgie gets behind Seleana and sets her up for a Russian Leg Sweep. She gets up to her feet as we see Krystal Wolfe slide the ladder into the ring before Georgie hits a baseball slide to the ladder as that sends Krystal Wolfe crashing into the barricades upon the outside.
Adams: So far Georgie has been one step ahead of the competition.
Simone: True that Jason, but I am sure that she will soon realize that she has a bullseye upon her back.
And indeed, it is Luna that dropkicks Georgie in the back after she had lifted the ladder off the canvas. This causes Georgie to crash into the ladder while the ladder gets sandwiched between her and the middle rope. Luna follows it up with a Backstabber on Georgie, eliminating her from the match for now as she turns her attention towards Seleana as she runs into the ropes and comes off of it with a Springboard spinning Heel Kick that sends Luna staggering into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Seleana sets herself up to spear Luna between the ropes, only to have Luna counter it with a kick to the face before Seleana gets dropped by a Leg Drop by Krystal Wolfe as she had jumped upon the top rope from the apron and comes crashing down upon the back of Seleana's neck.
Adams: What timing!!!
Krystal gets up, all worked up by the excitement of her move until Luna jumps the ropes for a Springboard Crossbody Block that Krystal catches and rolls through with. Getting back to her feet as she maintains the grip upon Luna, who desperately reaches over towards the ropes in order to prevent Krystal to execute an offensive move upon her. But that gets all thwarted by Georgie who yanks Krystal by the hair and pulls her crashing down upon the canvas with Luna on top of her. Georgie notices Seleana as she Zdunich gets face to face, both women look from each other as they stare at the briefcase above them before turning their attention back towards them. We see Luna getting to her feet, charging in on Georgie as she hits her with a shot block from behind. This causes Georgie to drop down as Luna realizes that she isn't the only one in the ring and backs off from Seleana and tells her that she can have Georgie Robertson for herself as she turns around and grabs the ladder. Only to have Seleana grab a handful of hair before Luna surprises her by tossing the ladder over her head into he direction of the bigger woman. This causes Seleana to fall backwards while holding on to her face in agonizing pain as Luna hops over her and reaches for the ladder before looking up with pleading eyes
Adams: Krystal Wolfe thwarted that attempt.
We see Krystal having placed her foot on top of the ladder, making it impossible for Luna to get the ladder from the canvas as Krystal follows it up by stomping on the hands of Luna. This causes Luna to scream in pain before getting the ladder driven into her face as Krystal has risen it from the canvas. Krystal then turns around and notices Georgie, slams the ladder into her midsection before driving it into her back. She then turns into a dropkick from Seleana, causing the ladder to fall on top of Krystal as now only Seleana Zdunich is standing in the middle of the ring.
Adams: I think this would be a perfect opportunity for Seleana to set up the ladder in order to climb for the briefcase!!!
And that is exactly what Seleana had planned, grabbing the ladder as she positions it in the middle of the ring. She slowly starts to climb the ladder as her focus is set upon the briefcase when suddenly we see Georgie climb the ladder as well as she gets up from behind Seleana. She manages to slide one of Seleana's feet off the ladder before locking it in an Ankle Lock on the ladder as this causes Seleana to have trouble keeping her balance upon the ladder. Georgie then pushes the leg against the back of Seleana before locking it in a German Suplex off the ladder ast hat drops Seleana hard on the canvas.
Simone: Wow!!!!
Adams: Did we just witness what we just witnessed??
Georgie pushes Seleana off of her, little bit groggie from the move that she put on Seleana as we see Krystal comes into with a running knee into the face of Georgie. This seemingly knocks Georgie out as Krystal then follows it up by putting the ladder back underneath the briefcase. She starts to climb the ladder as we see Luna climb the ladder the other end of the ladder just as fast, both women get to the top of the ladder at the same time as they start to trade blows.
Simone: Will either of these two women be the one that ultimately walks away with the briefcase??
Luna blocks a punch, pokes Krystal in the eye as she then pushes her off the ladder. She looks up as she prepares herself from reaching the briefcase when suddenly we see Georgie get upon the ladder behind her and pulls her down a few steps before locking in a sleeper hold that sinks in really tight.
Adams: Georgie is planning to put Luna out!!!!
Luna is struggling, trying to get herself free from the grip but slowly starts to fade. Georgie tightens the grip even tighter before noticing that the arms of Luna go limp and slowly disposes her from the ladder as Luna falls down upon the canvas. Georgie takes a few deep breaths as she feels the pain of many of the blows that her body has endured before taking a few more steps towards the top of the ladder.
Adams: Georgie Robertson is about to cash in her ticket to a future title shot anywhere in 2024!!!!
Simone: I agree Jason!! I don't see anyone in this match being able to prevent her from doing so!!!
Georgie reaches her arms towards the briefcase, unlocks it from the chain that kept it hanging as she embraces her arms around the briefcase as the bell starts to ring
DING DING DING!
Justin: The winner of the match and holder of the Bombshell Golden Briefcase!! Georgie Robertson!!!
Georgie lifts the briefcase above her head as she sits on top of the ladder being totally ecstatic for her win as the other three women are being taken care off by medics.
Georgie Robertson can be seen walking along the hallway, one hand on the small of her back and a big smile on her face. In her other hand is the Golden Briefcase that she swings slightly as she staggers backstage. She stops when she sees a cameraman and then walks up to him and motions for the man to begin to film.
Georgie Robertson: Have a butchers will ya and see what I got. And they said it couldn't be done. I would call it a Christmas miracle but then again, it was never in doubt in my mind me winning this briefcase.
Georgie holds up the case and wiggles it for the camera.
Georgie Robertson: Want to know what the best part is? That will be when Krystal the Winge Wolfe begins her complaining about how she was robbed of the case that she rightfully deserved to win. I can see it now, the moaning on X or whatever that site it now. Which makes me glad I don't have an account. It is bad enough that I hear it over and over again.
Georgie turns slightly as she appears to be ready to walk away but stops and then smiles back at the camera.
Georgie Robertson: Happy Christmas to me and can't wait to see just who might be the lucky bird that I will have in my sights.
Georgie once more begins to ignore the camera only this time she waves the camera off as a nuisance who is beneath her time or effort as she lightly swings the case over her shoulder and walks away.
During a lull in the action, it is a suprise as "Limelight" by Rush begins signaling the arrival of Roxi Johnson.
Adams: Roxi is back!
Roxi does indeed part the curtain to a massive ovation. A big smile crosses her face as she makes her way down to the ring, slapping some fans five along the way. She walks up the steps and into the ring.
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... ROXI JOHNSON!
Roxi sheepishly smiles, politely asking for the microphone as she takes a bow as the fans cheer her and her music is cut out.
Roxi: Well, long time no see, right?
Cheers.
Roxi: I just... needed to come out here tonight, because it has been a while since I've been around. High Stakes to be exact. And I promise I won't take up too much of your time, but there are some things that have to be said.
A pause
Roxi: First, and foremost, Keira is pregnant and I'm about to be a mommy to two.
Wild cheers.
Roxi: But while that's all well and good, the reason I've been gone for a while is simply because I needed some time to think about things and the future and where I fit into this whole thing. With Keira pregnant, things have changed a little more. You see, I said before that I consider the bombshell's division my garden. And I have tended the garden for a long time, over a decade in fact.
Cheers
Roxi: And I made a choice that after I was no longer the Bombshell's champion, that I wasn't going to go after that, or any other title in division. And I intend to stick by that decision. And thus, it left me with just having the odd match here and there, but then I got to thinking that, going out here, in front of all of you and attempting to win matches at this point, hurts the division more than it helps. All it does it rob someone else of rising up the ranks. I would be just a roadblock and that's not helpful. That doesn't allow anyone to do what they need to do. So, some choices had to be made.
Pause
Roxi: So, as I said, my time in SCW would be decreasing so... I think that it's just time for me to take a full step back. Trust me, I still want to compete, I still love what I do, coming out here for you, but unless it makes sense to do... I'll be moving into the background.
Mixed reaction, but some boos.
Roxi: I intend to watch the garden blossom, but that doesn't mean it still won't need maintenance from time to time. So, I'll still be around, and I'll be watching. And from time to time, when you least expect it. I'll be back.
Cheers.
Roxi: To the bombshell's roster: I'm proud of you, keep up the good work and making this the place.. THE PLACE.
Cheers.
Roxi: And to all of you, from my... ever-growing family... Please have a wonderful holiday season! And stay tuned.
Backstage, Ms. Rocky Mountains stands by SCW Hall of Famer Mercedes Vargas for an interview segment.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Tonight, right here at December 2 Dismember, it's a match that's been weeks in the making: Mercedes Vargas versus Harper Mason, one more time, for the last time.
Mercedes silences the interviewer with a raised hand.
Mercedes: I've had a lot on my mind, my thoughts run deep and my emotions run hot. I'm walking that fine line.
Mercedes unconsciously brushes away strands of her brown hair out of her face and takes a deep breath.
Mercedes: Harper Mason wanted attention. She craves it, breathes it, eats it, needs it. But sometimes, well, just sometimes, attention isn't always a good thing. Especially if you attract that attention from the wrong people. Harper got my attention for all the wrong reasons, and that's never a good thing when it comes to me. She doesn't know the world she stepped into, and she sure as hell don't know what she's got herself into. Lady Luck can't save her, the referee can't save her, Joshua Acquin can't save her. Because they're not here to protect her, they're here to protect me from her. Harper is going to realize the difference between fantasy and reality. The reality is she's getting her ass beat; the fantasy is she had any choice in the matter.
Mercedes divides her attention between the camera and PW.
Mercedes: Look at Harper, and then look at me. Is Harper someone who's going to make it? Does she look like a future world champion? Someone who is going to be in main events? A Bombshell Hall of Famer in five years?
She raises an eyebrow as if she was expecting a debate on this.
Mercedes: If anything, Harper puts the pathetic in sympathetic!
Mercedes points at herself as she now turns to the camera.
Mercedes: This is what it looks like when you've made it! This is what it looks like when you're a bonafide legend, an integral piece in one of the top women's divisions in the world. Head-to-head, bell-to-bell, pound-for-pound, it's easy to see whose career will be remembered and who will be just another name who would be gone in two years.
Mercedes now turns her full attention to the camera.
Mercedes: Harper, as your cousin lay there in hospital, hopefully uncomfortably as she can possibly be, I hope you both enjoy these last few weeks before the year ends. I'm almost sure the holidays will be that much sweeter because this Grinch is about to steal your Christmas. Yeah, I started this, and I'm going to end it too. You made this personal. And tonight, Leanne Harper Mason, you're going to find out just how personal hell can be. Long before you knew, and long after you'll remember.
Justin: The following contest is a mixed tag team match and it is ifor the SCW Mixed Tag Team Championships!
Adams: Here we go!
Simone: This should be good!
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. 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.
Justin: Introducing first, the reigning, defending SCW Mixed Tag Team Champions, Kayla Richards and Finn Whelan, The Wolves of Gheimhridh!
Adams: The Champs are here!
Simone: Now we wait for the challengers.
l the lights in the arena go out as the opening whistles of the Limitless theme ring through the PA system. Through the build up of the song the stage flashes with a mix of purple, and teal lights. Eiley makes her way out onto the stage through the left curtain, one hand on her hip and the other is held out, brushing off the negative reaction of those in attendance. Simultaneously, OZ comes through the right curtain.
Justin: Coming down to the ring, from San Diego, California, they are LIMITLESS!
Both of them stop at the center of the stage, Eiley putting her back to OZ before leaning back into him and giving a small smirk to the camera. The cameras move up the ramp, rotating around behind the duo to see the word "LIMITLESS" across the back of OZ's jacket. They make their way down the ramp, mostly ignoring everyone reaching out to them, and talking back and forth to one another. Once they reach the bottom of the ramp OZ takes a running start and slides under the bottom rope and into the ring. Eiley, on the other hand, jogs up the ringside stairs before strutting two steps onto the apron. OZ pops up to his feet and comes to the ropes near Eiley, sitting down on the middle rope to lower it. The fans boo as Eiley shakes her head. Instead, she backtracks to the turnbuckles and climbs them from the apron. OZ hops up from the ropes and sprints across the ring. He leaps up onto the middle rope of the far corner and he and Eiley each pose with one another, enjoying the chorus of boos.
Adams: They're ready!
Simone: They better be!
DING DING DING!
Eiley walks out to the middle of the ring and nods as Kayla and Finn have a few last minute discussions in their corner. Finna steps out to the apron and Kayla turns to face Eiley. Eiley smirks at Kayla and Kayla smirks back, neither looking like they lack for confidence in the slightest. Kayla walks out to meet Eiley and the two stand there just staring holes through each other as the crow cheers them on, willing them to start fighting with gusto. The two bombshells nod and then lock-up in a traditional collar and elbow tie-up. Kayla quickly establishes her leverage advantage and forces Eiley down onto one knee. Eiley starts up and quickly gets a deep arm drag. Kayla goes flying onto her back and Eiley jumps on for a strike, driving the point of her elbow into Kayla's chest. Kayla eats the impact and Eiley goes for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KAYLA REVERSES INTO A CRADLE!
ONE!
TWO!
EILEY REVERSES THE CRADLE!
ONE!
TWO!
KAYLA KICKS OUT!
The two Bombshells both get to their feet and Kayla throws a kick. Eiley catches the foot. Kayla jumps into an enziguri with her other foot and Eiley goes down from the hit. Kayla jumps into a rolling cradle.
ONE!
TWO!
EILEY KICKS OUT!
Eiley gives Kayla a big elbow strike and then spins to tag in OZ. Kayla goes over and tags in Finn. Kayla and Eiley step out to the apron as Finn and OZ both slowly step, allowing the crowd to murmur at them in anticipation of the confrontation to come.
Adams: We've seen the one side of this match and now we get to see the other. The crow is bu
ing with the anticipation of it all.Simone: Of course they are. Two championship-level teams are fighting here and we're about to see the Seattle Saint and the Miracle of OZ hook it up!
Adams: And the Queen of Limitless and the Dreamkiller wasn't good enough for them?
Simone: Don't be stupid, of course it was enough for them but this is a different sort of match-up. Eiley and Kayla made the fans wait to see OZ and Finn and now they're going to see that fight take over. It's a different air to things is all and when you've made people wait for it, there's going to be a genuine buzz in the air when they can see it's finally coming.
OZ and Finn walk out to the center of the ring almost exactly as Eiley and Kayla had. They move up on each other and as OZ goes to lock-up, Finn cracks him in the mouth with a punch. OZ fires back and the two start trading shots much to the delight of the onlooking crowd. They hammer away on each other, Finn, OZ, Finn, OZ, Finn, OZ, Finn, OZ, Finn, OZ, Finn, OZ. Finn grabs a side headlock and goes to pull OZ over. OZ slips in behind Finn and hits a bridging German suplex.
ONE!
TWO!
FINN KICKS OUT!
OZ tries to blast Finn from behind and Finn ducks it, getting in a kick to the face. OZ staggers back and Finn hits a Pele kick. OZ staggers back and Finn follows with a savate kick. OZ falls back into the ropes and comes off for an attempt at a big lariat. Finn ducks it and gets in a kick to the gut. He follows with the Titim Creann. Finn covers.

The Troll is seen walking backstage and the crowd is aghast, showering him with spiteful boos of disdain! Wearing a hat with a spring of mistletoe atop his head, he walks right up to the backstage reporters Pussy Willow and Ms. Rocky Mountains. They look up from their private chat just in time to frown at his appearance and what he is wearing.
The Troll: Greetings, ladies! You know hat of year it is and you know what this means!
He says, pointing at the mistletoe on his hat. he puckers his lips and leans in to Pussy Willow and...
POW!
He is dealt with a hard slap right across the face! The blow spins the Troll around and right toward Ms. Rocky Mountains and...
POW!
Another slap and he loses his balance and collapses to the floor and the two ladies then simply carry on with their conversation with the Troll laying dazed and face down on the floor.
The camera transitions to a bustling backstage area. Laura Phoenix has taken over the festivities for the kids for the rest of the night and she enters the scene, accompanied by Bobbie Dahl, her husband Artie, and the SCW star Fenris . The kids, still brimming with energy, notice the new arrivals and begin to jump up and down with excitement.
Laura Phoenix: Alright, everyone, settle down! I've got some special guests here that I want you to meet. I'm sure a lot of you know these guys...Bobbie Dahl, along with as always Artie, and, despite his protesting the whole way here, the one and only Fenris!
The kids cheer, some of them particularly excited about meeting Fenris. As Fenris walks through the crowd of kids, he maintains a somewhat stoic demeanor, not entirely comfortable with the attention.
Fenris: *under his breath* Kids...
Despite Fenris' reserved attitude, the kids are undeterred, expressing their admiration and enthusiasm. That's when we spot Despy, slipping into the fray out of nowhere, joining in the excitement, jumping alongside the kids. It's a chaotic yet heartwarming scene.
Laura Phoenix: Now, K, these kids are some of the most dedicated fans you'll ever meet. Certainly the Grinch even had his heart grow three sizes.
Fenris: That is a heart defect that should have killed him.
Laura Phoenix: *whispering* Play nice and I will make sure to pay your alcohol bill for the entire night after this.
Fenris: You're going to regret that, Phoenix.
Fenris manages a faint smile as he interacts with the kids, signing autographs and taking pictures. Despite his initial reluctance, he can't help but be touched by the genuine joy of the children.
After this delightful interaction, Santa Claus, played by none other than Ben Jordan, makes his entrance, accompanied by Sam Marlow dressed as an elf and Ben's dog, Bear, sporting a cute pair of antlers. Of course Ben looks nothing like Santa but he's going to play it up anyways.
Santa (Ben Jordan): Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas, everyone!
The kids' eyes widen with amazement as Santa hands out gifts and candy canes. Sam Marlow, with his infectious energy, adds to the festive atmosphere as he hands out small presents. Bear, in his antlers, wags his tail, clearly enjoying the attention.
The camera captures the pure joy on the kids' faces as they receive unexpected gifts from Santa and his helpers. Miles watches with a smile, happy to have created such a magical moment for the young fans.
Laura Phoenix: (whispering to Santa) Thanks for doing this, Ben. It means a lot to these kids.
Santa (Ben Jordan): Anything for the little champs! Now, let's make this a December 2 Dismember they'll never forget!
The scene ends with the sound of laughter, the kids enjoying their time with Santa, Laura, and the entire SCW family.
The scene opens backstage where we see a visibly annoyed Ms. Rocky Mountains rubbing her aching arm.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: I swear, the bosses left that match on the wheel to torment me!
Harper: Err, is this a bad time?
Rocky looks up and sees Harper walking up to her and shakes her head.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: No it's fine Harp, I can use my non dominant hand to hold the mic and besides, I wanted an update on Jessie anyway.
As if on cue the cameraman hands Ms. Rocky Mountains a mic which she takes in her non dominant hand.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: So, how is Jessie anyway?
Harper: She's resting at home under strict orders to not show up tonight, which means I'll be entering the match against Mercedes alone.
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Are you nervous about that? You've had Jessie at your side since you signed with SCW?
Harper shakes her head.
Harper: SCW is the only fed where Jessie manages me, everywhere else I've worked alone, well, aside from Cassie in EWC but that's beside the point.
Harper comments as she folds her arms.
Harper: Besides, I've wanted payback on Mercedes since our first match! Hell, I just want to have a win that I'm happy with because my wins this cycle were by disqualification! Hell I almost pinned a former World Bombshell Champion but Mercedes felt that need to screw that up for me!
Harper shakes her head.
Harper: All due respect to Julianna? Me costing Mercedes her title shot was the first part of my payback, tonight I get paid back in full when I beat her in that No DQ Match!
Ms. Rocky Mountains: Any plans for the New Year?
Harper: Plenty! But as far as Sin City Wrestling goes? I'll see what happens!
Harper walks off as the scene fades.
Justin: this match is scheduled for one fall and is a hardcore match…
Jonathon Young's cover of "New Divide" by Linkin Park hits the speakers and Harper emerges from the back throwing some kicks in the air to the opening beat, once the initial lyrics hit Harper does a spinning roundhouse kick before dropping to one knee and throwing up the Devil Horns.
Justin: From Orlando, Florida and being accompanied by Joshua Acquin, she is the "Slaytanic Avenger" HARPER MASON!
Once Harper hears her name called she jumps to her feet with a massive grin on her face, she sprints down to the ring clapping hands with the fans at ringside, as Joshua Acquin follows behind with a shopping cart of weapons. She jumps into the ring and down a forward roll landing on her knees and grinning broadly, ready to throw down with her opponent. As Acquin takes a position to watch the action.
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 Decent: 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 with her own trolley in hand, where she leaves it by the steps. 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 readies herself for the match.
DING DING DING!

And what would a Christmas show be without the adventures of Despayre? Clad in a festive light, with his usual oversized Santa hat on his head with that funny sprig of mistletoe on the fluffy white ball and a Looney Tunes themed Christmas sweater and cuddling his bestest buddy Angel against his chest. The popular little guy has found his way into the upper echelons of the TCC where all of the food vending booths have been set up. So naturally a growing lad like him would have to partake in some proper snack foods like a hot dog and nachos and...
Despayre: Holy cow! is that Christmasy Cotton Candy!?
He ran up to the booth where the vendor was busily making a fresh batch of the sugary treat in an array of holiday color blends. he presses both hands on the glass of the booth as he watches with wide eyes of appreciation.
Despayre: I simply MUST have some!
And in mere moments, the batch was finished and a fresh cone of red and green cotton candy was passed over to his 'grabby hands'. Despayre all but buried his face into the wisps of sugar for the first bite when he hears what he had been afraid of this entire night...
Laura: Well hello Despy!
Oh no -- babes!
Despayre slowly turns around to find none other than Laura Phoenix standing there with the brightest of smiles on her face.
Laura: That's an awfully adorable hat, sweety.
Laura takes a step forward and Despayre comically bares his teeth in what he THINKS appears to be a fearsome snarl and ...
Despayre: **HISSES!!**
He then wags a finger at her, his eyes barely able to see from beneath the XXL sides Santa hat.
Despayre: No! No Christmas smooches from babes for me THIS year!
Bella: Okay, Despy!
As Bella pops up from behind and steals a fast smooch on the cheek!
Despayre: ACK!
And he spins around and wipes at his cheek! Bella makes a break for it and this gives Laura all the opening she needs to steal her own peck on the cheek from the adorable little guy. She too takes off in the same direction as her daughter as Despayre busily wipes his cheeks!
Despayre: Darn this uncontrollable machismo!!!
Jingle bells can be heard as the camera fades in on Ben Jordan's faithful dog Bear, reindeer horns on his head and tinsel around his neck. The crowd cheer as the camera moves up behind Bear to see Sam Marlowe dressed as an elf, before moving over to the left to see what can presume to be Ben Jordan dressed in a full Santa suit, with a big white beard to match.
Ben: Alright people!
Sam nudges him in the shoulder.
Ben: Oh yeah, sorry. I mean Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! This is Santa Ben, along with Sammi Elf, and Reindeer Bear here!
Ben scratches under his beard.
Ben: Bloody hell this thing is itchy.
Sam fires Ben another look and Ben looks back in to the camera.
Ben: We all hope you're having a proper cracking night here at December 2 Dismember V so far, but we're here on behalf of SCW to thank you all for your amazing support over the past year. It doesn't matter if you booed us, if you cheered us, if you took a Jimmy Riddle while our matches were on, we would like to thank you all for coming on this journey with us for 2023 and we are looking forward to you lovely lot being on an even better journey with us next year.
Santa Ben pauses for a second.
Ben: Christmas and the holiday's are a time to reflect on a lot of things, but it's also time to look in to the present and take a look at those people around you and let them know just what they mean to ya. So please this year, phone that mate of yours you haven't spoke to in a while, say those things you've been meaning to say and embrace the holiday spirit of giving and spreading the love. Look after each other and be generous. If you wanna be generous to Santa here, you can send him something to trim this ol' beard.
Ben smiles.
Ben: But anyways, above all else, please be safe this year, enjoy the Christmas parties and make sure ya mates get home in one piece. Enjoy every second around your family and friends. So from Santa Ben, Sammi Elf and Reindeer Bear, from everyone behind the curtain from the production crew, the wicked boys and girls in the back who put their bodies on the line for you every week, from the people at the top making all the tough decisions, we'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a very happy holiday time and a safe and prosperous 2024. Love to you all.
Ben raises a hand and waves as the camera fades.
Justin: The following contest is a set for one fall, and it is for the SCW Internet Championship!
The lights shut off as "Madusa" by Times of grace kicks in, as it builds different lights flash around the arena. As the song builds into the refrain and the guitars kick in a spotlight forms on the stage with Austin standing in the middle. He makes his way down to the ring before moving around to the steps, he makes his way up and walks across the apron before stepping between the ropes, he stands in the center of the ring as the music shuts off
Adams: Austin Mercer has been on a mission in recent weeks, and tonight he's looking for gold.
Simone: He took some of his opponents apart, and he is focused, you can see it in his eyes.
Adams: Not going to be easy for Miles Kasey tonight.
"Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon starts pumping through the speakers as Miles Kasey bops out onto the ramp in rhythm with the beat. With the Internet title strapped tightly around his waist, 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!Adams: Miles looks ready to go tonight.
Simone: He's gonna have to be. If he wants to keep that title, he's got to know he's in for one hell of a fight.
Justin: Introducing first, the challenger, he hails from Mahattan, New York. He weighs in at 265lbs. He is AUSTIN! JAMES! MERCER!
Mercer stares straight at Miles, not acknowledging his name being called.
Justin: And his opponent! From Las Vegas, Nevada, by way of Manchester in the UK, he weighs in at 215lbs. He is the current SCW Internet champion... MIIIIILLLLEEESS KASSSEEEYYYY!
Miles unstraps the championship, holding it up as he is introduced. He then hands it to Jacob who holds it up as well. Miles begins using the ropes to stretch as Austin stoicly stands in the ring waiting for the bell, his eyes glued to Miles.
Adams: Look at that look. I wouldn't want him looking at me, I tell you that much.
DING DING DING!
Miles catches on that Austin is staring him down and walks right up to the big man and gets right in his face. Miles shows no intimidation staring eye to eye, or as close as he can get to Austin. The staredown intensifies, but after a few moments, Austin slips a knee in on Miles and then delivers a hard clubbing forearm to the back of Miles as he doubles over, and this drops Miles to the canvas. Miles quickly gets to a knee, but eats a stiff forearm that forces him back down. Miles gets to the ropes to create distance, but Austin is right there, grabbing the back of Miles head and forces his throat over the middle rope and begins choking him. Jacob immediately starts the count
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Austin breaks, knowing he has a five count, and Jacob warns him about the choking as well. Miles has rolled to the corner to again create distance to get up. Once he is standing though, Austin has already closed the distance and hits another stiff blow that stuns Miles. Austin shoots Miles off into the ropes, looking for a clothesline on the rebound, but Miles ducks. Miles continues and rebound again, leaping and attempting a cross-body, but Austin catches him with ease. Holding him for a few seconds, Austin shows off before delivering a nasty backbreaker. Miles rolls to his stomach, hand on his lower back in pain.
Adams: What incredible power by Austin early on!
Simone: He held Miles up like nothing, and the champion is stumbling out of the blocks right now.
Austin positions Miles on the mat and then backs up, and jumps into the air for an elbow, but Miles rolls out of the way! Miles is able to get up and hits a dropkick that sends Austin stumbling back. A second dropkick takes Austin through the ropes to the floor! Miles rushes over and grabs the rope, preparing to springboard, but Austin has hastily moved out of the way.
Adams: And Austin wisely is able to move before Miles could take advantage.
Simone: But you see what he's doing, he was in control, and the moment he lost it, he broke that momentum.
Jacob is already at four on his count, but Austin pays it no mind as he goes up the steps and re-enters the ring. He and Miles again stare each other down, only this time Miles starts hitting rapid fire forearms that seem to stun Austin. He tries for an Irish whip of his own, but Mercer reverses. On the rebound Austin again attempts a clothesline, which, again, Miles ducks. Austin tries to set it up and when Miles rebounds again, Austin pops him up into the air!
Adams: LEGACY BOMB! ALREADY!
Simone: COUNTERED!
Miles is able to reverse in mid-air and hits a hurricanrana on Austin to again send him to the floor. This time Miles is too quick and when Austin turns back to get into the ring, he eats a dropkick through the ropes!
Adams: Nice dropkick by the champion!
Simone: And now Austin is reeling!
ONE!
TWO!
Miles takes a second to acknowledge the cheers, and that costs him as Austin nearly beheads him with a clothesline. Austin looks at the ring apron and slaps it, indicating where he intends to drop Miles as he pulls him into powerbomb position.
THREE!
FOUR!
Adams: Lookout here!
Austin lifts Miles up, but Miles delivered hard fists in order to stun Austin. Austin stumbles around and Miles is able to get off his shoulders, before driving Austin left shoulder-first into the steel post!
Adams: And Miles saves himself!
Simone: You can see how deadly this challenge is right now for him.
FIVE!
SIX!
Miles is able to shove Austin into the ring and rolls in, getting to his feet and grabbing the left arm and slapping on an arm bar, pulling on the arm and shoulder, and it forces Austin to the mat on his stomach. Miles wrenches it a few times as Austin slaps his arm and shoulder, trying not to lose feeling. Miles positions Austin's arm and should on the canvas, and then delivers a knee right on the joint, causing a yell of pain from Austin who again rolls to the outside to break the momentum.
Adams: Again, Austin trying to create distance.
Miles again won't give Austin an inch, and steps out onto the apron. When Austin turns, Miles jumps, but jumps right into the arms of Austin, who catches him, and rams him back first into the post.
Adams: Ooh. Big mistake by Miles right there. Got a little overzealous and paid for it.
Austin shakes out his arm and shoulder before pulling Miles to his feet and ramming him again back-first into the post. Jacob's leans through the rope and yells at Austin to get he match back into the ring. Austin does just that tossing Miles back inside and following him in. Miles reaches the corner and tries to get up facing the buckle. Once he is there, Austin begins ramming his shoulder into the small of Miles's back.
Adams: And now Austin is focused on Miles back.
After 4 hard shots, and each time hearing a groan of pain each time Austin backs off as Jacob instructs. He goes back in and then locks in a bear hug on Miles.
Austin rag dolls Miles, but Miles fights and tries to wedge his arms in between Austin's to no avail. Miles continues to fight, but slowly starts to fade.
Miles springs back to life and hits a few hard right hands and then a headbutt right to the shoulder to finally break the hold. Miles continues to fire off right hands, keeping Austin stunned. Miles hits the ropes, springs off and jumps backwards
Adams: BLAST FROM THE PAST
Simone: Countered!
Austin catches Miles in mod-air and then LAUNCHES him across the ring with a massive German suplex. Austin stands, wagging his finger, very happy with himself. He positions himself in the corner and crouches, waiting for Miles, who is hurting on the canvas, to get up. Miles is able to use the ropes, and Austin charges
Adams: Mercenary!
Simone: MISSED!
Miles is able to more or less collapse out of the way and Austin lands on the back of his head! Austin sits up and Miles runs in with full force with the Double Edged Sword!
Adams: OUT OF NOWHERE!
Simone: UNBELEVEABLE!
Miles collapses on top of Austin
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Adams: He got him!
Miles slowly rolls out of the ring and collects his title, gasping for air.
Justin: HERE IS YOUR WINNER... AAAAANNNN STILLL! SCW INTERNET CHAMPION.... MILES KASEY!
Miles holds up the title, but is is clear he's been in a fight. He slowly makes his way to the back as Austin is back on his feet, again staring a hole through Miles.
The stage has now been transformed into a winter wonderland scene and against the backdrop of the stage itself is a cascading scene of winter snow. An orchestra on the floor beside the stage begins to play a soft melody as out onto the stage walks SCW Co-Owner Christian Underwood, clad in a white suit. Microphone in hand, he surprises any with a very skillful singing voice as a Christmas performance begins.
Christian: As the years say good-bye
One by one on silent wings they fly
What will last, what is true
That's a lesson I learned lovin' you
This world will find its way somehow
I've got all that I need right here, right now
This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
This is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time.
And to the delight of many, Laura Phoenix herself walks out onto the stage in a long-sleeve gown that shimmers a crystalline, powder blue, joining in...
Laura: Sometimes life leads you blind
To the one you've been waiting to find
Sometimes life lets you see
Just how great the gift of love can be
Now the light that fires the brightest stars
Is waiting to shine on this moment of ours
This is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
This is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Baby this is the time, Baby this is the time
Christian: If life is just a dream, I know within my heart
Laura: Just getting closer to you
Laura: Is by far the sweetest part
Together: So tell me one thing baby, the one thing I need to know
Baby, this is the time when the cold winds blow
When the snow falls from Heaven
On the dreamers below
Baby this is the time when I need to know
That your love will always be mine
Christian: Baby this is the time
Laura: Baby this is the time
Christian: Baby this is the time
The crowd cheers and applauds as Christian displays an uncharacteristic smile and sense of self, fully acknowledging Laura who draws the boss into a hug as the scene comes to a close.
The scene opens backstage where we see the Bombshell Internet Champion Ariana Angelos standing by with her title slung over her shoulder and Pussy Willow ready for an interview, the champ is supporting her championship with her good hand.
Pussy: Ariana, tonight you face your second defence against Courtney, and off course your essentially wrestling the match one handed.
Ariana nods as she holds up her braced hand.
Ariana: All thanks to Courtney not liking a taste of her own medicine.
Ariana comments as she shakes her head.
Ariana: Off course, everyone treats me like I deserved to miss several months' worth of action because I dared to interrupt their golden girl's ill-deserved rematch! Funny how hypocrisy works, isn't it?
Ariana comments as she flips some hair over her shoulder.
Ariana: At the start of my promo from earlier this week I had one simple question for the viewers at home, do you remember what it was Pussy?
Pussy: What makes a champion?
Ariana: Exactly, a question that I posed to the wrestling world yet no one has the balls to answer, not even Courtney, the target of that question!
Ariana frowns as she glances at her title.
Ariana: Far as I'm concerned? The only thing Courtney deserves after she tried to break my hand is to ask customers "do you want fries with that?" at her local McDonalds and believe it or not? That's me being generous.
Pussy: Do I even want to know what the alternative version is??
Ariana: No.
Pussy: Any plans for the New Year?
Ariana: I'll make those plans after the match against Courtney, regardless of result, but at the end of the night? Vengeance will be mine!
Ariana walks off as the scene fades.
Simone: This next match is one that everyone has been waiting for. An endless battle between the Go Gym and Jet City, and another story in the feud between Ariana and Courtney Pierce.
Adams: These two had feuded over the World Bombshell Championship and now their fight is over the Internet Bombshell Championship.
Before they could say anything else Tempest makes her way to the ring. She stands by ringside with her arms crossed playing like an enforcer of sorts. She just keeps watch as Justin Decent begins to make the announcements.
Justin: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the SCW Internet Bombshell Championship.
The opening sirens of "Problem" floods the arena PA as the lights in the arena go out one by one. By the time the beat kicks in, energizing the small but vocal audience, the arena is pitch black. Purple and white spotlights above the stage start to pulse to the sound of the music. The screen at the top of the stage lights up, writing out five letters in pace with the flow of the music: C O U R T.
Justin: Making her way to the ring from Long Beach, California, "The One" Court Pierce!
The SCW Bombshell comes out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage to a mostly mixed reaction from the crowd. Court is flanked by her wife, Ruby, and stops at the top of the ramp. With a look back over her shoulder at her significant other, Court crosses her ankles, her purple ring gear shimmering with all of the camera flashes around the arena, and takes a slight bow to the crowd with her arms out to her sides. Court hugs her wife before telling Ruby to stay backstage. Ruby disappears back through the curtain. Court makes her way to ringside, and carefully makes her way up the ringside stairs and onto the apron. She ducks down between the bottom and middle rope and into the ring.
Simone: Smart decision by Court Pierce tonight. She has told Ruby to stay backstage.
Adams: It would help Court focus and she doesn't have to worry about the well-being of Prudence with Tempest here at ringside.
Simone: Court NEEDED Ruby to beat Ariana the last time but what will happen without Ruby at ringside?!
The opening guitar riff to "In the Middle of the Night" by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes unglued as Ariana emerges from the back wearing a long cloak with her initials on the back and with her back to the crowd. She has the
Justin: Introducing next the SCW Internet Bombshell Champion, 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. She raises the title high into the air which gains a huge pop from the crowd.
Courtney keeps her eyes locked on Ariana as Dawn Barnes takes the Internet Championship and raises it high into the sky. Both women keep their eyes locked on the title before Dawn calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Court smirks as she keeps her eyes locked on Ariana, and she motions for the Go Gym graduate to come after her. Angelos thinks about it for a few moments before she obliges. She begins to circle around the ring before she finally meets Pierce in the center. Court arrogantly places a hand up wanting to engage in a test of strength but Ariana is on a different wave length as she instead chops Court as hard as she can against the chest. Court backs up as Ariana does it again and again. The Greek star unleashes a barrage of assaults unleashing all of her frustration upon her opponent. She goes for a final chop but Court manages to grab Ariana's bad arm. Angelos lets out a scream before she viciously drives a knee right up into the gut of Court forcing her to double over. Ariana tucks Court's head underneath an arm before she drops down driving her head first into the mat.
Simone: Look at all of this aggression coming from Ariana.
Adams: She does not like Court and is going to do whatever it takes to defend her title tonight!
Pierce rolls on the ground and clutches at her head in pain. Ariana isn't done as she yanks Court back up off of the ground. She lifts the woman high up into the air in a suplex position. She keeps her held upwards for a while. Without hesitation she drops her head first into the mat with a brain buster. Court can only grab at her head in pain as Ariana rises up and begins to deliver stomp after stomp against Court's head.
Simone: And she is targeting the head. She really wants to put Court out of commission tonight.
Adams: This is a side of Ariana I haven't quite seen before.
Pierce clutches at her head from all of the pain and Ariana looks down at her opponent considering her next move. She walks over to Pierce's legs and looks for a single leg Boston Crab. Pierce however begins to show life as she uses her strong legs to push Ariana away from her. Court rises back up to her feet and Ariana runs after Pierce. The Jet City alum drives a huge boot into the face of Ariana dropping her opponent onto the ground. She looks down at her foe and shakes her head in disgust.
Court: You should have kept focusing on the head.
Court decides to change the pace of this match as she is the one to capitalize on the head. She takes a seat between the Pittsburgh native and wraps her long legs around her head placing her into a Figure-Four Headscissors. She squeezes as much as she can as Ariana struggles to get away.
Simone: Court has her long legs wrapped around Angelos.
Adams: And I doubt the champion loves this position.
Dawn begins to ask Ariana if she gives up but she refuses to give in as she tries everything in her power to get away from the move. Court tries to squeeze tighter and tighter. Eventually Ariana begins to find some power as she slowly rises up to her feet. Court refuses to let go and Angelos is finally on her feet and has Pierce positioned on her shoulders. Court uncrosses her legs and instead tries to deliver punch after punch to the face of the Greek Angel. Ariana however is in control on her vertical stance. Without hesitation she drops backwards and sends the both of them crumbling to the ground. Both women are laid out on the ground as Dawn surveys the carnage.
Simone: Good counter by Ariana.
Adams: It was the only way to free herself from Court's vice grip.
Simone: Without Ruby at ringside this match has been mostly controlled by Ariana.
Adams: Makes you wonder what would have happened if Ruby wasn't at ringside for their World Bombshell match.
Both women are slow to stir on the ground. Ariana is on her feet first with Court lagging behind. Angelos positions herself and is looking for a spear. As soon as Court comes too and it at that moment that the Pittsburgh native runs after her with a spear attempt, and finally Court manages to muster something as she grabs a hold of Ariana and throws her right into the corner. Angelos runs face first into the corner turnbuckle. Court is quick as she quickly gets behind Ariana and wraps her arms around her waist. Without hesitation she slings herself backwards and drops Ariana to the mat with a German Suplex. She remains bridged for a pin fall attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
Ariana is able to kick out of the move as Court sits up and glances over at Dawn who just enforces that it was a two count. Pierce turns her attention back over at her opponent as she watches Ariana struggle to make it to a knee. Pierce walks over to her and doesn't hesitate to do a Snap DDT on the kneeling Ariana. Angelos is laid out on the floor as Court takes in all of the boos.
Simone: Starry-Eyed! Court has connected with it and you know what's coming next.
Adams: This is the set up for Over it! And Ariana has nowhere to go!
Courtney positions herself by Ariana's legs. She grabs a hold of them and bridges herself backwards to the point that Ariana's legs are almost touching her own head not to mention her body is being lifted up off of the ground at the same time.
Simone: COURT HAS IT LOCKED IN!!!!
Adams: What is Ariana going to do, are we going to have a new champion right here?!
Ariana screams as Court keeps applying more pressure. Angelos does everything in her power to move. Dawn asks if she wants to give up but the Greek Angel refuses to give her opponent the satisfaction of that. The crowd is firmly behind Ariana and on the weight of her hurt hand she somehow musters the strength to crawl towards the ropes. Court can't believe it as she applies even more pressure. With desperation Araian reaches out and she has managed to grab a hold of the ropes. Dawn sees this and tells Court to break the hold.
Simone: She got to the ropes!
Adams: Ariana still has more fight in her!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Finally before the count of five Court breaks the hold. Ariana however clutches at her leg as it's clear she is in pain. Court however walks over Ariana and yanks her away from the ropes. She tries to lift her back up off of the ground and immediately gets scooped up into a school girl pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Courtney kicks out at the last second as she glares daggers over at Ariana for the sneaky attempt. She rises up to her feet but Ariana manages to get up as well. Pierce goes for a quick clothesline but the Go Gym Graduate is able to duck underneath it as she waits for Courtney to turn around. She grabs a hold of the California native placing her underneath an arm before dropping her onto the mat with an implant ddt.
Simone: Greek Pride!!!!!
Adams: And now there's only one thing left to do!
Ariana looks at her opponent before she looks at the top of the ropes. She begins to ascend it looking to end it all here with her Angel's descent. As she gets to the top it is at this moment that Ruby's music begins to play all across the speakers.
Simone: No, no, no! Ruby is going to ruin this.
Adams: Not with Tempest keeping a watch on things!
Tempest stands in front of the ring looking at the aisle waiting for the unwelcomed attacker. Dawn looks out at Tempest and at the aisle as well. The crowd however boos when a figure jumps out over the barricade from where the audience sits. It's Ruby Pierce! She quickly jumps up onto the apron and she doesn't hesitate to push Ariana off of the top of the turnbuckle and to the inside of the ring. Prudence jumps down with an evil grin as she looks at the crowd pointing at her head. Screaming she is the smartest manager of all time. Dawn finally turns her attention to see the inside of the ring but all she sees is Ariana clutching at her leg in pain on the ground.
Simone: Even with Tempest at ringside this blonde demon still finds a way to ruin a good match.
Adams: Wait its Tempest!!!
Ruby keeps pointing at her head until she finally turns around and Tempest is standing right there. Ruby tries to plead that she is sorry but that doesn't work as Tempest grabs a hold of Ruby and holds it up in the air for her Implant Buster and is hovering by the announcer table. Meanwhile Court is back on her face and she looks outside to see her wife is in trouble but she also sees a prone Ariana for the taking. Court however yanks up Ariana and positions her up for something special. Courtney screams out loud that this is for her wife before she drops Ariana to the mat with a Ruby Tuesday DDT. Ariana is laid out as Court hooks a leg for the pin fall.
Simone: RUBY TUESDAY!!!!
Adams: Court ignores the well-being of her wife to try to win the title!
Tempest however sends Ruby down against and through the announcers table with her Implant Buster. The table shatters as Ruby is a crumbled heap in the wreckage. The crowd begins to cheer at the carnage at ringside but boo as what's going on inside.
Simone: Finally!!!
Adams: Noooo… Court is going to steal this inside!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Simone: She's done it!!!
Adams: We have a new Internet champion!!!!
DING DING DING!
Court stands up as Dawn raises her hand in the air and she is handed the Internet Bombshell Championship.
Justin: And the winner of this match and NEW SCW internet bombshell champion! COURTNEY PIERCE!!!
Courtney Pierce screams that she has outsmarted Ariana and medical staff run and check on Ruby's prone form at ringside. Tempest walks away at the carnage as Courtney raises her championship high into the air before she checks on her wife.
Simone: Love them or hate them, but the Pierces outsmarted Ariana again!
Adams: This is the second time Ariana had Courtney beaten. I know we won't hear the end of this from her.
SCW Co-Owner "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward is seen backstage in his office, and the crowd watching on the screen above the stage cheers at the sight of the popular boss man! He is clearly in full busy mode when a sound from outside of his closed office door captures his attention...
Voices: I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!
Mark looks up with a bemused expression -- carolers? At his office door? He pauses in his work and stands up, walking around the desk and toward the door as the singing outside continues.
Voices: I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do.
He opens the door and looks outside, but sees nothing. Not until he looks down and there is a small number of teddy bears in Christmas outfits with little carol books in their paws on the floor in front of his office door. And at the forefront -- none other than Angel. With the song clearly being played on a little device not hidden so very well behind the teddy bears.
Voices: I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too.
Mark finds it hard not to smile as he knows Despayre is behind this and the boss man has the good grace to stand there for the entirety of the song until it draws to a close. Mark applauds and holds up a finger for the teddy bears, playing right along.
HS: Hold it right there for a moment.
Mark goes back inside of his office for a moment, then returns with two large handfuls of Christmas candies in his hands and sets them down right in front of the teddy bear carolers.
HS: Merry Christmas fellas!
And noting Snowflake, female teddy bear buddy of Angel's in the group. he nods graciously.
HS: And ladies.
With one final smile, mark steps back inside of his office and closes the door behind him.
SCW Bombshells World Champion Julianna DiMaria is backstage with her championship over her shoulder. She's alone and she basically prefers it that way at this point as she thinks about her third title defense that is coming up. She does look slightly more amused as she begins to express her thoughts.
Julianna: Oh Bella…
Julianna scoffs as she expresses more amusement on her face.
Julianna: Having heard everything that you've had to say coming into this thing, I was waiting for anything… SOMETHING… any kind of nugget that would tell me that you are ready for this moment. I was waiting for you to say ANYTHING at all that would indicate that you are ready to take the next step. I hung onto your every word hoping to hear a spark. I was hoping I would hear something that would indicate any sort of evolution that you've been talking about for weeks on end.
But you know what I heard?
Not a damn thing!
Julianna pauses as the amusement on her face is gone and she's now a little more angry and serious,
Julianna: It's a damn pity because someone like you with the talent that she has should have so much more to her name than she actually does but you don't. Hey, you got to this point. I can't take that away from you but all I heard was you taking about how you had to prove yourself and as far as anything you had to say about whatever TRUTH I shoved down your throat, it was a bunch of 'going on defense' about everything and not being aggressive enough. Like I've been saying, results MATTER and you haven't gotten the results and your best response to that was WHAT? That getting beat in your return match lit a fire in you? It did… but that fire looks FAR more impressive than it actually is when you beat the competition that you beat to get there. Your best response was what? 'You're obsessed with titles and accolades'?
Julianna merely rolls her eyes to indicate that she's not impressed with much of what Bella had to say, if she was impressed with anything at all.
Julianna: 'Your motivation is making grand statements'? Yeah, AND? Let me paint the picture for you. Tonight, I DO assert myself as THE alpha bitch around here, you got that? Even if my motivation, or part of it, was 'making grand statements', is there anything wrong with that? I mean seriously. I've been making these 'grand statements' since the moment I got here. My first match was against a Blast from the Past finalist that I defeated with relative ease. Aside from winning a title in my first match here or beating the actual Blast from the Past winner, there was no grander statement I could've made than that. My third match? Oh wait, ANOTHER grand statement… a win over a Hall of Fame member. My sixth match? Hold on… what was my sixth match?
OH RIGHT…
I made the GRANDEST STATEMENT OF ALL when I became The One that Dethroned The One and made that bitch tap out at High Stakes to become the champion that I am today. Yeah, maybe I have every fucking right to make grand statement after grand statement. Of course, someone like you that has never made a real statement in her career that anyone would remember wouldn't understand. You can talk about your evolution, your new fire, and all of these wonderful things that you think sound wonderful coming out of your mouth but I just don't FEEL IT…
You're going to give me a challenge, I'm not going to deny that.
But ultimately, the only way you're beating me is if I beat myself… and as far as beating myself is concerned, I already fulfilled that quota with my last defense even if I was technically the winner in the end. I'm well aware that the last time there was a December 2 Dismember, this championship changed hands…
But that was an elimination chamber with six women involved where there was a greater than 80 percent chance that the title was going to change hands to begin with.
Sorry CINDERBELLA, but history is NOT repeating itself here. On talent alone, I respect the hell out of you but when it comes to putting it all together, you haven't been able to put it all together for four long years and becoming a mother isn't going to fucking change that overnight. This 'new fire', this 'evolution', it's not going to suddenly come together for you all in one night or even in the short period of time you've been going at it. I know this, I've BEEN through that transition that you just barely started and even for ME, it took MONTHS before it took hold and I finally started to get to the next level.
You'll make a hell of a Roulette or Internet Champion at some point in 2024 and I think even you'll agree that's progress.
But the Bombshells World Championship? Right now? You're in over your head with that and when I make my statement title defense, I will prove that in spades.
So I'll leave you with a reinforcement of my message to you…
What's about to happen to you?
You can treat it as a setback and stay stuck where you've been for four years, or you can take it as a lesson and finally start going somewhere…
Julianna leaves the scene at this point, clearly making it known that she's not going to hold back.
Justin: The following contest is for one fall and is for the SCW World Bombshell championship! Introducing first, the challenger...
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.
Justin: From New York, New York, weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds, she is Bella Madison!
The roar comes over the sound system as we see Bella standing on top of the entrance. She stands wearing her wrestling gear 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 out.
Justin: And her opponent...
"Paranoid" hits the speakers as Julianna DiMaria appears on the stage, greeted by some boos from the fans in attendance.
Justin: From San Diego, California, weighing in also at one hundred and twenty five pounds, she is the SCW World Bombshell Champion..... Julianna DiMaria!
She ignores them and heads down to the ring with a confident, focused look on her face. Once she heads inside the ring, she cracks her knuckles, indicating she's ready to fight and afterward does the "talk to the hand" gesture toward all the fans that are booing her, displaying another touch of arrogance to get the fans against her even more.. She heads to her corner and scoffs at the reaction she's getting as the song fades and she waits for what's coming next.
Simone: This is our co main event and something the fans have been waiting for.
Adams: They're not the only ones because a star could be born here tonight.
DING DING DING!
Drew steps back as the two ladies meet in the middle of the ring Julianna trash talking Bella but Bella surprisingly strikes first with an elbow to the jaw, sending Julianna rocking backwards. Julianna grits her teeth and charges towards Bella but Bella ducks a clothesline attempt. Julianna continues her run and comes back off the ropes. Julianna gets close and Bella takes her over with an arm drag, sending Julianna across the ring. Julianna gets back to her feet and Bella jumps up with a dropkick, Julianna landing in a seated position as the crowd cheer on Bella.
Simone: We know who the fan's prefer here.
Adams: Julianna needs to rethink her stragedy at this point.
Julianna holds her jaw and gets back to her feet, glaring at Bella and quickly moves toward Bella, but Bella switches around Julianna and gets her in a waist lock, but Julianna switches around and gets behind Bella. Julianna pushes Bella away and kicks her in the back of the knee, dropping Bella down to the mat.
Adams: Tree chopping kick there.
Julianna steps up and pulls Bella to her feet, grabbing her in a front face lock and spins her around with a spinning neckbreaker! Julianna wastes no time in using her chmpions instinct as she quickly goes for the cover and Drew drops down to make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Bella throws a shoulder up!
Simone: The champion trying to get the job done early.
Bella gets herself back to her feet and turns back towards Julianna after a few seconds. Julianna puts her palm in Bella's face and pushes her away, but Bella fires back a right hand and the two start to exchange punches. Rights and lefts fly in at each other before Bella cuts Julianna off with a sharp right hand to the jaw, sending Julianna flying backward. Bella smiles as she grabs Julianna's head and charges her towards the ropes and rubs her eyes across the top rope, scraping Julianna's face against it. Bella drags her to the corner and smashes her head in to the top turnbuckle, but Julianna fires back an elbow to the jaw and a kick to the midsection, causing space to appear between the two. Julianna turns around and cracks Bella across the face with a discus clothesline.
Simone: The sound of that was heard around the whole arena
Bella gets back to her feet quick but Julianna is waiting for her and jumps up with a jumping knee to the chest and knocks Bella backward against the ropes. Julianna charges at Bella but Bella lifts her up and drops her across the top rope, Julianna's upper body bouncing on the top. Julianna lands on her feet but Bella rolls her up from behind! Drew drops down to make the count!ONE!
TWO!
Julianna powers out!
Adams: Bella nearly caught the champion off guard with that.
Both get to their feet, but Julianna reacts first, taking Bella down with a chop block behind the knee, forcing her to the ground.
Simone: That's the second time Julianna has gone to that knee.
Bella holds her knee but Julianna springs up and lifts Bella's leg, dropping huge kicks to the back of her knee, trying to cause serious damage. She steps over and spins around, dropping to the floor with a leg grapevine, trying to hyper extend Bella's knee.
Adams: Julianna's showing her great technical side and pick Bella apart.
Bella reaches up, grabbing a handful of Julianna's head and pulls her in close before hitting her with a short sharp right hand to break the hold. Julianna steps up and Bella gets back to her feet and runs towards Julianna with a clothesline but Julianna grabs her arm, and twists Bella around to get by her side and drops her with a front Russian legsweep, crashing Bella's head in to the canvas. Julianna rolls over and grabs Bella by the hair and smashes her face in to the canvas, her head bouncing off with full force. Julianna picks Bella up and locks her arms from behind with a full Nelson before lifting Bella up and hitting her with a double knee backbreaker!
Simone: DiMaria code 2.0!
Julianna rolls Bella's over for the cover and Drew drops down to make the count!
ONE!
TWO!
Bella barely kicks out!
Adams: Everyone thought this one was done, I was gonna use my tired old fork line.
Julianna sits up and yells at Drew out of frustration but Drew holds up just two fingers at her. Juliana gets to her feet and yells towards Bella, showing no respect for her opponent as she drags her to her feet and attempts a full nelson.
Simone: She could be looking for the DiMaria Code.
Before Julianna can completely lock in the full nelson, Bella drops down, moving underneath Julianna and tripping her forward. Julianna lands on her back and Bella places her legs over her shoulder while holding on to her legs and Drew drops down to make the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Julianna rolls through and on to her feet. She charges at Bella with an attempted kick to the chest but Bella lays flat, avoiding the kick. Bella springs up behind Julianna and catches her with a kick to the knee, sending her on both knees, moves in front of her and jumps, wrapping her legs around her head and dropping Julianna with a short hurricanruna!
Adams: Bella Aube!
Julianna smartly rolls to the ropes and drags herself outside of the ring.
Simone: Smart from the champion, she knows that Bella uses that to set up for the Bella Notte!
Julianna stands up and starts to walk away but Bella gets to her feet and runs off the opposite rope and back towards Julianna, she dives through the middle rope with a suicide dive, crashing in to Julianna! Julianna smashes backwards in to the barricades as Bella stands up and dusts herself off. She grabs Julianna by the arm and whips her towards the ropes but Julianna reverses it and Bella crashes back first in to the ring apron. Julianna follows in with a huge clothesline, crumbling Bella to the floor. Julianna pulls Bella to her feet and pulls her on to the ring apron and both women stand up. Julianna pulls Bella in to a powerbomb position and tries to lift her up but Bella reverses it and lifts Julianna over with a backbody drop on to the ring apron.
Adams: Falling there hurts and keeps chiropractors in business.
Julianna rolls off the ring and on to her feet but as she turns around, Bella runs at her and jumps off the ropes and lands on Julianna, pulling herself over with a diving hurrianruna!
Simone: Oh my god!
Julianna goes flying but Bella feels the momentum building and quickly goes after Julianna, pulling her by the head and rolling her in to the ring. Bella quickly jumps on the apron and makes a move to the top rope, looking down at Julianna. She takes a deep breath and jumps off with a Phoenix Splash!
Simone: Second gen!
Adams: No!
At the last second, Julianna gets her knees up and Bella crashes in to them!
Simone: The knees could have just saved Julianna's championship!
The two women lay heavy on the canvas, breathing hard and Drew looks at them both but both women start to move. The two stand slowly and start to throw shots towards each other. Bella landing heavier and sending Julianna backwards but Julianna charges at Bella for a clothesline, Bella ducks and Julianna continues to run. Julianna quickly jumps on to the middle rope, using it as a springboard and spins around. Bella turns around, only to be met with a springboard forearm smash to the face. Bella laying on the floor and Julianna shakes her head, indicating that she's had enough.
Adams: I think play time is over kids.
Julianna picks Bella up and hooks on a full nelson but Bella fights her way out of it and runs to the ropes. She springboards off the middle rope and jumps up with a springboard enziguri!
Simone: Beautiful disaster!
Adams: Wait...
Julianna sidesteps, causing Bella to miss by just inches. Bella lands face first and gets on all fours but Julianna wastes no time and pulls Bella to her feet, hooking her with a full nelson and dropping her with a facebuster!
Simone: DiMaria Code!
Julianna tiredly rolls Bella over and hooks the leg and Drew goes for the count...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner AND STILL SCW World Bombshell champion.... Julianna DiMaria!
Simone: Bella put up a brave fight but Julianna will go in to 2024 as the SCW Bombshell World Champion.
Adams: A million hearts just broke all around the world there, but we know this is not the last we'll see of Bella when it comes to going for championship gold.
We cut to the backstage area and it is there where we can see Seleana Zdunich. She isn't alone as she is standing with her daughter Aurora. All of a sudden we see Crystal Zdunich walking into the backstage area. Aurora quickly runs over and hugs Crystal tightly as her eyes light up.
Crystal: Pumpkin and babe… Your's truly is officially back!!!
Aurora: Yes!!!!!
Seleana: JA! Estrellita is so excited and happy. All is right in the world.
Crystal nods her head as she keeps looking at Seleana with a wide grin.
Crystal: I mean I didn't expect him to just say yes! That means going forward the Winter Rose will officially be competing in SCW.
Aurora: Winter Rose?!
Crystal: Yep and the possibilities of who I could possibly wrestle against or endless. It's going to be so much fun, and for every person that has ever disrespected you Seleana… You better believe that I am coming to have your back. A lot of people have ran their mouths. They have said so many things and that won't happen anymore. The Zdunich name will be an important name in wrestling and it's going to start one match at a time.
Seleana: Now that you are back what is next for you?!
Crystal thinks about it but Aurora holds up a mistletoe and Crystal smiles looking at Seleana.
Crystal: MISTLETOE!!!
With that Crystal grabs Seleana and begins to give her a long passionate kiss for a long time before we go elsewhere.
If there was one thing that most of the Superstars and Bombshells of Sin City Wrestling believed in - it was providing for others. Especially at this time of year - and especially when children were involved. One of the most important charities during the Christmas season, and one that Helluva Bottom Carter kept close to his heart was the Angel Tree.
The Angel Tree was that huge Christmas tree one most often finds in department stores with paper angels all over them, and on each one was the name of a child, their age and a much desired Christmas present.
This year, Carter went the extra mile and did not just choose one angel from the tree at his local Target. He took ALL of them! And along with his boyfriend Miles's own efforts with these underprivileged kids, sought to bring a little Christmas cheer for kids who might otherwise not have a very jolly Christmas.
In fact, that is where we are now. Backstage at the TCC where all of "Miles's Kids" are gathered, eagerly watching as Carter - dressed just like a Christmas elf in full costume and ears, Miles himself, along with "Santa Ben" and Samantha Marlowe, busied themselves distributing those sought after presents.
Each child stood in line while one right after the other sat on the lap of Santa Ben while Samantha and Carter presented the gifts to the most appreciative little ones and Miles took commemorative photos to gift to the children's families, each star giving these children a holiday memory that they will always treasure.
The camera's cut backstage just minutes before the main event, J2H can be seen pacing up and down, his SCW World Heavyweight championship over his shoulder. He turns to look at the camera.
J2H: This is what it comes down to Alexander, the last match of the year, the final battle, the chance to send all these people home on a high, a chance to end this long, drawn out year to give them something special. We're in end game times Alexander and I watched you last night talk on social media about this shit being all or nothing for you.
He smirks.
J2H: Well welcome to nothing bro, because we both know how this is gonna go. You're minutes away from those bright lights and you can hear those people out there, you can hear them waiting for me to shut up and walk down that aisle and put you out of your misery. They're waiting for that hero they don't want to show up and do what they expect and believe me, it's not you walking away with this right here.
J2H looks at the championship on his shoulder.
J2H: I told you to come and earn my respect Alexander, I told you to show up and earn that respect and it's right here in front of your face, but tonight, I play spoiler for your dreams, I play spoiler for your future, and if you want to be a pissy little bitch and walk away after we're done tonight, I play spoiler on your life.
He smiles.
J2H: As much as I like that Alexander, and I do love fucking with people's lives, I'm going to say this. You are the second best male wrestler on this roster, walking away makes you look like the biggest baby walking this earth, but you're facing THE best wrestler in SCW across every division, in fact fuck that, you're facing the best fucking wrestler in the world. There's gonna be no shame in losing to me tonight and that's already written. This year has been the year of J2H. I have won Blast From The Past, I've won awards and I've won the SCW World Heavyweight championship twice. I've been in matches never seen before in SCW and I just keep going and going. There's no way you're gonna end my year deflated. I wish you the best of luck in everything you choose to do after I'm done with you if you decide to be that guy who walks away, but it's written, I will walk out of here with my championship, there's nothing you can do to stop that.
J2H runs his hand over the SCW World Heavyweight championship and looks deep in to the camera.
J2H: Now someone hit his music because it's that time to mourn the loss of that hero....
J2H walks away as the scene cuts back to ringside.
The camera makes its final return to ringside, showcasing the six-sided ring as Justin Decent stands against the far side of the ring, calmly waiting to make the introductions. Scattered applause sounds as the senior referee for Sin City Wrestling - Jasmine St. John, steps through the ropes to officiate. She shakes the hand of Justin and then takes her place to his left.
Adams: Boy I can't wait for this one! I'm glad Jasmine is taking charge with this one because it is going to be chaos!
Simone: There was simply no chance that Jasmine would assign anyone else other than herself to officiate this championship contest.
As the opening guitar rift bellows out, the lights slowly dim down, a shade of blue being thrown over the area. A person begins to slowly walk forward, a reverse hood pulled up over and covering his face. The words "FORGETTABLE" and "FORGOTTEN" across it in red letters, one at the top, one at the bottom. Small white X's where the eyes are. 'I was born with my head around the wrong way', with these words the person slowly walks forward, arms stretched out far to the sides. A slow and measured stride forward. Halfway to the ring he stops, turning around to face the entrance once more. His hands going up to the hood. A stomp of the foot, then another, and another. The crowd beginning to stomp along now, cheers and boos, a myriad of reactions. "Take me! Off the wall! The Wallllll!", he yanks the hood down.
Simone: J2H might have made one of the few errors of his career when he let Alexander Raven choose the stipulation for this championship opportunity.
Adams: J2H was trained by one of the greatest technical wrestlers ever but actual submission wrestling is different and that is something Alexander is tops at.
The lights in the arena drop out to pitch black, before gold and blue lights flash around the top of the entrance ramp as a heavy guitar rift. P.O.D's "Lights Out" plays and as the lyrics "It goes one for the money homie, two for the show. We tore the roof off this mother now it's time to blow." is sung, J2H confidently walks out on to the stage with Austin Parker.
Austin is wearing faded blue jeans, a plaid shirt, cowboy boots and hat, as he walks slightly in front of the shirtless J2H, wearing gold shorts, boots and kneepads with "J2H" written on the back of the shorts. The SCW World Heavyweight championship sits around his waist. J2H looks around the crowd before he walks towards the ring with, a confident look on his face. The lights brighten slightly as he gets closer to the ring, stepping up the steps and through the middle of the ropes and in to the ring. He moves towards the center of the ring, putting his arms to either side as gold pyros spit up from the turnbuckles. J2H look to the sky before looking down and round the fan, cockiness dripping from the young man. He turns to his opponent, looking him up and down before the match starts.
Adams: Is it true? Did J2H seriously go to Fenris of all people to learn submission wrestling?
Simone: I wouldn't say that J2H went to him. Rumor has it that J2H's wife Melody played a factor in this and neither J2H or Fenris was receptive.
Adams: I guess we're going to find out if it helped at all.
The camera focuses solely on those inside of the six-sided ring...
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the Main Event of December 2 Dismember V! It is a Submission Match No count outs! No disqualifications! The only way to win is by making your opponent submit! And ... it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
The crowd cheers heartily!
Justin: Introducing first - the challenger! From Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, weighing two hundred and fifteen pounds -- Alexander! RAVEN!!!
Alexander takes a step forward to acknowledge the crowd, but his eyes remain fixed solely on the champion across from him.
Justin: And his opponent! Being Accompanied to the ring by Austin Parker. From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds, he is the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, he is J2H!
J2H steps right up to the center of the ring, nose to nose with Raven as he whips the championship belt from around his waist and holds it up high to the cheers and jeers of the crowd! Jasmine is right there, arms wide to separate the two men from one another. Both are ushered to their respective corners where Jasmine takes the World title belt from J2H and showcases it first to Alexander, and then holds it up high for one and all to see. The crowd cheers!
Simone: The World Heavyweight Championship! Alexander Raven earned this opportunity six weeks ago at High Stakes XIII!
Adams: Now we get to see if he can make the most out of it!
Jasmine ensures both men are ready and she call for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Both men come straight from out of their corners and lock up, collar and elbow! Alexander transitions behind J2H, grabbing him into a rear waistlock and he lifts him up and takes him down, face and chest first to the canvas! J2H tries to roll through it and into a hammerlock but Alexander counters, rolls through and has hold of the champion in a front facelock, pinning him face-down on the canvas. J2H twists out of the hold, being the smaller man, and he ends up reversing their position, trapping Raven in the same hold; a front facelock. Alexander, however, is able to get to his knees while J2H stands over him, keeping the hold locked on tight when Raven sweeps J2H's leg out from under him, breaking the hold! Alexander immediately attempts an ankle lock but J2H somersaults over, throwing Alexander over and down onto the mat where now J2H scissors Raven's leg and has HIM in the ankle lock but Alexander rolls over onto his back with J2H in a vertical position! Alexander plants a boot into J2H's chest and kicks him off! Both men roll back and jump to their feet, squaring off as the crowd applauds their enthusiasm for both men's wrestling display!
Simone: Wonderful chain wrestling on the part of BOTH men! I would have to say that thus far, Alexander Raven has been the aggressor.
Adams: Maybe so but J2H is adapting fast, like he usually does!
Both champion and challenger now circle the ring, sizing one another up. They pause and go for the lock up once again, but this time J2H is the quicker of the two and he grabs the wrist of Alexander, twisting him into an extended wristlock. Alexander extends an arm, reaching for the ropes but J2H uses his leverage to drag Raven back to the center of the ring where he twists his arm once again, this time trapping him into an overhead wristlock. J2H then literally scales Alexander and uses the arm hold to throw Raven over into a victory roll and right into a short-arm scissors on the mat!
Adams: I don't know if that's Austin Parker or Fenris's influence but that was a slick move!
Simone: Personally I think that one was all J2H as I have never seen Fenris or Austin leave their feet like that!
Alexander attempts to counter the hold, forcing his way first to a bended knee and then standing, his arm still trapped in the painful submission hold. Alexander extends his free arm but isn't close enough to reach the ropes. Instead, Alexander scrapes his boot across the forehead of the champion, causing J2H to let go of the hold!
Simone: Some dirty tactics there by Alexander.
Adams: It won't be the first time either of these guys sinks low. You can bet on that!
Alexander brings J2H up to his feet and he attempts to fire him off into the ropes but J2H holds on and reverses it! J2H goes for a roundhouse kick but Alexander ducks under the blow, comes off the far side and he pounces on the champion! Brings him down with a Thesz press where he rains fist after fist into J2H's exposed head! Jasmine tries to break it up...!
Adams: There's nothing Jasmine can do!
Simone: Indeed not! With no DQs or count outs, Jasmine is basically just there to accept whoever submits!
J2H fights him off, Alexander standing and J2H kicking him away! J2H jumps to his feet and swings for a back fist but Alexander ducks under the blow, grabs him around the waist and throws him up and over with a release German suplex! J2H is folded in half and Alexander stands over his back and drapes his arms over his knees, grabs him under the chin and locks the champion in a camel clutch! Alexander starts to shout "ASK HIM!" and Jasmine indeed does so! She is right there in J2H's face as he lies trapped in the hold, asking him if he submits but J2H shakes his head no, refusing!
Adams: It is going to take a LOT to get either one of these men to submit!
Finally Alexander breaks the hold, throwing J2H down. Alexander then opts to reach down for both of J2H's legs, trapping them under his arms while he reapplies the Camel Clutch, literally tying him up in a hangman's camel clutch with nowhere to go!
Simone: Oh now that looks like torture! Quite literally!
Adams: Legs trapped! Arms trapped! The champ has NOWHERE to go!
And Jasmine is down in front of J2H, asking him if he submits and still J2H is just too prideful and stubborn to submit not just the match but his cherished championship away! Finally Alexander realizes the hold is not working and he releases it. He drags J2H up to his feet and scoops him up and body slams him. Alexander then jumps over him and into the ropes, catapulting off the middle rope for a flying back elbow -- but J2H brings both feet up and kicks his arm in midair!
Simone: Oh the champion was just WAITING for that opportunity!
Alexander crashes hard and clutches his arm! Alexander rolls over to his hands and knees to get back up to a vertical base when J2H comes running in and he goal kicks the injured arm, hyper-extending it!
Adams: Oh what a shot!!
Alexander grabs his arm in pain, kicking him legs! Alexander rolls over to avoid an oncoming J2H and forces himself to his feet but J2H grabs that bad arm and takes him down into a Fujiwara arm bar!
Simone: And now it's J2H's turn! He is like an apex predator! he saw an injured body part and now he is all over it!
J2H uses his legs to push against the canvas, bending Alexander's arm all the way back in a way it was NOT meant to bend! Alexander hollers in pain and bites down on his clenched fist, but he shakes his head NO when Jasmine is asking if he wants to submit! Raven manages to sneak his free arm under his body and he rolls through with a reverse cradle but J2H rolls out and delivers a devastating kick right to Alexander's skull, stunning him! Alexander is seemingly out on his knees and J2H comes off of the ropes with a baseball sliding dropkick right back to that bad arm! Alexander starts to roll out of the ring but J2H is right on him, trapping him halfway under the ropes with that extended bad arm! J2H arm wrings him three straight times on the mat, working that bad limb over even more! J2H then hangs Raven halfway out between the bottom and middle ropes... J2H then steps out over him and onto the apron. He grabs Alexander in a double chickenwing and he somersaults off the apron and onto the floor, literally trapping Raven in the ropes in a bridging double chickenwing!
Simone: And there's nowhere to go! There is nothing Alexander can do BUT to submit!
Adams: And Jasmine can't do anything with them in the ropes like that! There are NO DQs!
Only there IS something that Alexander can do -- the unorthodox method! He uses his feet to push himself the rest of the way out of the ring and crashes on top of J2H in a heap on the ringside floor!
Adams: Well that's ONE way to escape the hold!
Both men are down on the floor on the outside, recovering! J2H rises first but Alexander grabs a stray power cable and he suddenly throws it over and around J2H's neck from behind!
Adams: I TOLD you they would both be fighting dirty!
Simone: And Alexander can choke J2H out to his heart's content and that alone could cause a submission!!
Indeed as J2H coughs and gags, tearing at the cable with his fingers but Alexander has the cable wrapped tightly around his throat, thrashing him around and from side to side! Alexander then throws him off, releasing the cable but he then uses it to yank j2H back and right into a belly to back suplex on the floor itself!
Simone: And there is so very little padding on the floor! The champion landed right on the back of his head and neck!
And just as J2H rolls over, clutching the back of his head and neck, Alexander careens right into him with a Shining wizard knee strike right to the head! The blow knocks the World Champion straight to his back and Raven grabs him by the leg, rolls him over and locks in an STF right there on the ringside floor!
Adams: Does this count!? Are there any rules that the submission has to be INSIDE of the ring!?
Simone: Not that I'M aware!
Indeed not as Jasmine rolls out of the ring and implores Alexander to bring it back to the inside of the ring but the challenger all but ignores the official! That is when Jasmine opts to check on the champion and ask if he's ready to submit but J2H's silent glare in the hold is answer enough! He refuses! But this time Raven does not release the hold! He cranks it on even TIGHTER to try and force J2H to give up! And STILL the champion will not! That is when J2H uses his own unorthodox methods and fights dirty tactics with his own by grabbing Raven's fingers and he bites down SAVAGELY onto them!
Simone: There was nothing else J2H could do! That had to be literally a last resort to keep from losing the Heavyweight Championship!
Raven yells out as he releases the hold and both men fight to their feet but Alexander buries a knee into his midsection and proceeds to roll him back inside of the ring. Alexander follows him in and he drags J2H up onto his feet and he traps him in a standing Octopus submission! Part-abdominal stretch - his leg over J2H's neck and pulling back on his arm, Alexander is working over three body parts at once!
Adams: I remember when I wrestled and someone put me in this hold! It hurt like a motherfu-!
Simone: I think we get the picture, Jason! And it is painfully clear that J2H is feeling the effects of this hold!
Indeed so as J2H's face is dark red from the pain and the pressure as his eyes are wild, trying to escape! Trying to hold on! Jasmine asks if he wants to submit but right now J2H is almost unresponsive! So the referee grabs his arm and raises it -- and it drops! She raises it a second time and for the second time, it falls!
Adams: One more time and we have a brand new World Heavyweight Champion!
Jasmine raises his arm for the third and final time -- and J2H grabs her by the shirt sleeve to prevent his arm from falling!
Simone: VERY crafty tactic by the champion!
Now J2H is struggling -- fighting once again! J2H grabs Raven's hand and starts to separate his fingers and suddenly SNAPS them apart!!!
Adams: Bloody hell! Where have we seen THAT used!?
Simone: Or rather, whom! That there just screamed Fenris's influence!
Alexander grabs his hand, clutching it in intense pain! He turns around and J2H barrels right into him with a clothesline of such intensity that it takes both Alexander AND J2H over the top rope and they spill in a heap of tangled limbs on the ringside floor!
Fans: SCW! SCW! SCW!
Jasmine slides to the outside to check on both men as they lie in a heap, sucking in the oxygen and trying to recover from the torturous beating they have been inflicting on one another! They both start to stir and roll over to rise to their hands and knees, fingers gripping at each other! Alexander rears back and slams a forearm blow into the side of J2H's head! The blow rocks the champion back on bended knees but he rises up and he punches Raven full on in the face with a closed fist! A blow from Raven! Another from J2H and soon a wild melee breaks out on the floor between champion and challenger! And the fans are LOVING it!
Adams: This is GREAT!
Simone: NOW the fight for the World Heavyweight Championship begins!!!
And it is a fight that Raven takes full advantage of as the better brawler between the two! They fight their way to their feet and soon Alexander overwhelms J2H with numerous fists and forearms, driving the champion back against the ring post! Alexander then gets a running start and charges but J2H moves and Raven clotheslines the steel post instead!
Simone: OHH! That could prove to be a very costly mistake on the part of the challenger!
Alexander grabs his injured arm and collapses to his knees! This sets him up for J2H to grab his bad arm and wrestle him down to the floor, elbow bent straight up and the back of his hand pressed down on the floor - J2H standing on his hand!
Adams: Uhhh OHH! If this is what I think it is...!
Simone: If Fenris showed J2H how to...!
And J2H stomps down onto the pointed elbow, slamming the arm to the ground! Alexander yells in pain, grabbing his arm and thrashes on the ground!
Simone: He did teach him that elbow curb stomp!
Alexander staggers to his feet and falls back against the steel barricade! He stumbles forward and J2H comes charging in but somehow Alexander still has fight in him! He meets the champion in midair, wiping him out with a Slingblade with his bad arm!
Adams: Holy--! The fight in both of these men is unreal!
J2H is flat on his back as Alexander falls over, holding his arm! Jasmine is checking on him but the challenger shrugs her away! Holding his arm and shoulder in severe pain, Alexander uses his one good arm to grab the champion by the hair and drag him to his feet, rolling him back inside of the ring. Alexander then climbs up onto the ring apron and he starts to step through the ropes when J2H springboards off of the ropes and dropkicks Raven, knocking him almost all of the way off the apron! Alexander grabs the ropes with his good arm and fights his way back to his feet! He struggles and falls halfway through the ropes and J2H jumps on his back, dragging him the rest of the way in and locking in...!!
Adams: ASUKA LOCK! J2H has him in the Asuka Lock!
Simone: One of Fenris's favorite finishers! J2H has learned well!
J2H has the hold locked in perfectly but Alexander is fighting it! He refuses to submit even as he begins to fade, just as J2H did before him! Jasmine raises his arm and it falls! She raises it a second time and again it falls! One final time she brings his arm up -- and it almost falls! ALMOST! Alexander starts fighting in the hold and he whips an elbow back into J2H's face to break the hold but it remains! Alexander then kicks both feet up into the ropes and kicks off, rolling back and on top of J2H! But J2H rolls through and transitions into...!
Adams: Peruvian necktie!
Simone: Also known as Ride of the Valkyries! Fenris's best hold and one of the single most dangerous submission holds in MMA!
J2H has it locked on and Alexander tries to fight it! Jasmine is right there checking -- and he does it! Raven taps out! Jasmine jumps and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
Justin: Here is your winner -- and STILL World Heavyweight Champion!!! J2H!!!!!
The crowd is on its collective feet, giving BOTH men a standing ovation that is very well deserved!
Adams: he did it! J2H remains the World Heavyweight Champion!
Simone: But dear Lord, what a fight Alexander Raven gave him! Alexander pushed J2H closer to defeat than almost anyone!
As Austin Parker helps J2H to his feet and hands him the belt, he raises the champion's arm to the appreciative reception of the SCW Universe! Meanwhile, Alexander is sitting up in the corner, favoring his arm and neck as Jasmine and the ringside paramedics check on him, but he is responsive and nods.
Simone: I am calling it now. There is now way possible that this match not be a Match of the Year contender!
Adams: And what a way to bring 2023 to a close! With a championship match like this!
Jasmine and the paramedic helps Alexander Raven from the ring as J2H struggles to stand in the corner and holds his World title belt up high to celebrate!
Simone: And that ladies and gentlemen, is how we bring the 2023 calendar year to a close! We hope each and every one of you has the warmest and joyous of holiday seasons and an even happier of New Years!
Adams: Merry Christmas! Blessed Kwanazaa! Happy Hanukkah! ...
Simone: Farewell everybody!
One more panning shot of the crowd and J2H in the ring before it slowly fades out to credits!
THANK YOU! to everyone who wrote for us. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year!
