The newcomer, Perish the Prophet was seen making his Dystopia show debut against the veteran known as Jonna Austin. Perish was trying to end the match early but Miss Austin was not having it. It took 3 minutes and 40 seconds for the blonde haired woman to finally shut down the Prophet and made him bow down to his "God" by doing her Poisoned World finisher to get the win.
WINNER: JONNA AUSTIN
The camera opens backstage a suit of Samurai armor better known as Karuta. The suit is in a standing position, and the lights around it are dim, only an overhead down light shines on the armor to give a mystical obeisance. The distinct voice of Sunny Jim is heard speaking, but nothing can be seen but the armor.
SUNNY JIM
Shogun, the title of the military dictators of Japan during most of the period spanning from 1185 to 1868. Nominally appointed by the Emperor, shoguns were usually the de facto rulers of the country. Upon Japan's surrender after World War II, American Army General Douglas MacArthur became Japan's de facto ruler during the years of occupation. So great was his influence in Japan that he has been dubbed the Gaijin Shōgun.
World Wrestling Headquarters, Sanatorium, get ready to meet your soon to be Shogun.
The lights around the armor come on illuminating the scene. The Karuta dressed figure spins around and the mask is missing allowing to see that it is Mad Dog Mark Wright dressed in the armor and brandishing a Samurai sword.
MAD DOG
HEEEEEEYYYYY AAAAAHHHH!!!
Mad Dog swings the sword to the camera and the scene goes black.
This match was seen going back and forth with both competitors giving the fans their money's worth. It took 4 minutes and 40 seconds for the man who was known as "The King of Australia to hit his Ascension finisher on the beautiful brunette beauty Mercedes Vargas and get back on track with him winning the match.
WINNER: NICHOLAS KING
Before she can get ready to wrestle in the triple threat tag team match on the upcoming Dystopia show teaming up with her boyfriend/tag team partner, "Bad Ass" Blake Anderson, the woman who is known as "Lady Huntress" Belladonna Hunter was seen backstage and she was seen saying right into the nearest camera with a serious look seen seeping through her eyes.
LADY HUNTRESS | BELLADONNA HUNTER
I really need to do something to get me out of what I am feeling as of lately or else, I would absolutely break down and snap. I'm going to try to give it my all even if it kills me! I'll always be the underdog but I am really getting sick and tired of being that. I'm done talking.
Tears started to stream down her pretty face as she was seen leaving the camera's view as she held her head down. She put on her face mask and went to go talk last minute match plans with her boyfriend/tag team partner. Something had to give!
Lilith comes out as usual, but when it's time for Valentina to come out, she pops up on the screen instead. She proclaims that she's too good to be on the preshow, and isn't showing up. Instead, Nina Rabbit comes out and volunteers to fight Lilith. The two girls have a rousing fight, and at 4 minutes 45 seconds, a figure with a hoodie on comes in and interferes with both women and tries to break Nina's arm. She pushes the hood back and it's Valentina! Lilith helps Nina fight off Valentina, who slides out of the ring and leaves.

After everything settles down inside the arena, the fans hear “Judas” by Fozzy hitting the P.A System. That is when Chris Matthews comes out wearing a black leather jacket, black shirt, loose-fitting jeans, black sneakers, and black tinted shades on his face. He looks around the crowd and begins to walk down towards the ramp. He walks down them and climbs the steel steps. He walks along the side and enters the ring. He walks around the ring for a bit and grabs a mic as the music fades.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
Seems like there is a lot of talk about what’s going to happen tonight in this very ring. I have to say that there’s going to be a fight when Pandora and I take on that stupid cunt Belladonna Hunter, Blake Anderson, and the Tiger Towers.
He looks down at the ring and smiles a bit. He wasn’t sure what to think about all of this tonight. But he knows that he and Pandora are the favorite to win this. Pandora and Chris have always had the right chemistry unlike the others in the match.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
Tonight, the fight is going to be brought. Bella, she runs her mouth when she knows damn well that her ass can’t cash it. The match she had, was failure after failure after failure. Bella, you don’t know enough about this business to make yourself relevant. I’ve been in this place since the relaunch, and on top of that, I have 10 plus years of experience than you. You? You’re nothing more than the pile of crap I wiped off the bottom of my boots. You can talk all this trash you want about me, but you’re just another girl looking to make herself shine with relationships. You want to know the difference between you two and me and Pandora? We’re a couple that had a trial of complications that we completed. You? You lose a match, and you fucking drink because of it. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? HUH? Do you have a death wish?
He shakes his head slowly and groans in displeasure. He then silently said, “fucking cunt” without alerting anyone in the arena.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
I...I...I can’t with you honestly. Do you want to know what happens to people who talk trash about me in this company? Huh? They get their teeth knocked down their throats. You’re no different, Bella. So, go ahead and keep talking and we’ll see how far that goes.
He put his hand through his hair and swipes it back. He’s not a lie that he wants to hurt Hunter – but he also knows that he has to think about the other competitors in this match.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
But you want to know something else? I don’t care about you, Hunter. Blake, I want to know what is up with you, man? You have everything going for you, and yet you hang with that? With Hunter out of all people. Look, I can’t tell you who to hang with and who not to hang with. But you should understand that she's going to drag you down, man. She’s going to make sure you never get the chance to advance to something special. Now, I can’t deny that your great talent but you really go far, THEN DROP THE DEAD WEIGHT! But if you refuse to listen, then that is your problem.
Tiger Towers, you’re coming into this match with a wave of momentum and I see that. I see that better than anyone in this match. This match is something special and you two know it. But the problem is, that the force isn’t with you. The force is strong with Pandora and I. You know it, Bella and Blake know it, the fans, the staff, even the animals that somehow would watch this – which they probably won’t unless they are at home with their owners. Anyways, point is, that you four aren’t the type of people to get the job done tonight. Pandora and I are going to show the world that we’re the toughest team here in WWH. Tonight, the Triage Trilogy is going to be one step closer to the Tag Team titles.
He gets a smirk on his face as he drops the mic. “Judas” hits the P.A system as he gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp. He goes behind the curtain as the scene fades to a commercial.

RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred thirty one pounds, hailing from The Appalachian Mountains, he is MAD DOG MARK WRIGHT!
"Mad Dog" Mark Wright comes barreling through the entrance way. Chugging a can of beer. He stops at the top of the entrance way, and smashes the can on his head. Mad Dog throws the smashed can into the crowd and then pulls his jacket off throwing it down and runs down the entrance way and slides under the bottom rope into the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent...
As "You Will Know My Name" by Arch Enemy begins to hit over the sound system, the lights dim just enough to make it seem something ominous is coming. Then a video begins to show assassination victims, creature killings and the ilk when suddenly the clips stop when they reach a figure holding a sword. The figure then suddenly slashes the sword across the screen to cause it to static. Then the song picks up speed again, when out of the back comes "The Slayer" Charlotte Ross wearing a black sleeveless trench coat and on her back is her signature weapon; a Singapore Cane that has been hardened and enhanced to cause more pain and punishment. And she is flanked by her manager, Monica Mayhem who is armed with a wicked staff topped with a mastiff shaped ball on top.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
She weighs in at one hundred fifty pounds and hails from Richmonnd, Virginia.... THE SLAYER, CHARLOTTE ROSS!
Then as she reaches the end of the ramp, she pulls it out of the sheath and holds the Cane in the sky for a few moments and as her arm reaches the apex of her reach, fireworks like Jeff Hardy go off. Then as she puts it away, the fireworks die down and she proceeds to head to the ring. Fans attempt to interact with her but she just either stares them down or Monica bats their hands away. Then as she reaches the apron, she jumps on it and turns towards the crowd and holds her arms put like Raven for a few moments and streams of flames come out from the turnbuckles. Then she flips herself into the ring like Kane used to do when exiting the ring and promptly sits in the corner like Raven and awaits for the match to begin.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Charlotte Ross going into this match with a disadvantage in weight and size, but we've seen her make up for it with pure malice before.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Indeed, we'll find out if Mad Dog can match her ruthlessness or ply his size to overcome this challenge.
The bell rings and the competitors face off. Charlotte charges in with fists, hits the ropes, but Mad Dog follows her and clubbers her against the ropes, sending her to her face on the mat. Mad Dog barks to the crowd, goes to pick up Charlotte and gets a thumb to the eye. Charlotte hits him in the face and tries to whip him off, but he counters, sending her sliding under the bottom rope to the apron to catch her bearings. A heabdutt sends her to her butt on the apron, and Mad Dog joins her, but gets a hard right, staggering him back-- Charlotte tries to follow up with a hurricanrana but gets caught by a still too fresh Mad Dog, who catches her and slams her into the barricade.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Oh my god, a severe impact for Charlotte into that railing, this could be a big difference maker here!
Charlotte's knocked out for the moment as the referee counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Mad Dog catches his wind and grabs her and rolls her in, attempts the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout! Mad Dog grabs her in a bearhug, trying to wring the life out of Charlotte. Hard elbows to Mad Dog's head loosens his grip, though a couple big beals keeps Charlotte shaken. Mad Dog drops the leg and tries for another count.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout again! Mad Dog picks up Charlotte by the hair, picking her up in a double chickenwing submission. Charlotte counters, roll through to a pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
Mad Dog's still too fresh. Charlotte leaps on Mad Dog's back, locking her legs around his shoulders and her arms around his face in what's almost like a modified camel clutch maneuver, but Mad Dog fights free enough to slam her backwards and try for a pin-- but Charlotte has her arm under the bottom rope!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Charlotte mounting a comeback to Mad Dog's overpowering offense with sheer cleverness!
Mad Dog picks her up again, looking for another Samoan Drop type slam, but Charlotte squirms free to her feet and rolls out of the ring to where her girls wait, and she can try to recover her bearings. She rolls back in the ring before the ref can count her out, catching Mad Dog off guard with hard gut shots, another rollup but a kick out before the ref can drop the hand. Mad Dog regains his feet fast and goes for an elbow drop on the prone Charlotte, but Charlotte rolls out of the way, leaving him to funnybone himself on the mat. Charlotte starts climbing up top but Mad Dog follows, looking for a superplex. Charlotte grabs on and starts to rally back with sharp elbow shots to the head-- sunset flip -- she can't quite get him out for a powerbomb but a quick back kick to Mad Dog's knee sets him up in a middle-rope tree of woe!
He tries to rise, but Charlotte jumps high and connects with a double stomp, grabbing Mad Dog's legs clear of the rope for a pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
THR--
Kickout! Both competitors are winded from the exchange.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Clever indeed with that counter when the instinctive usual powerbomb counter failed. The tide of this match is starting to turn.
Staggering back up to their feet, Mad Dog backs to a corner and Charlotte charges in, rapid fire knee strikes. She darts out with a running return, but Mad Dog gets the foot up for a big boot out of the corner.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Did you speak too soon?
Mad Dog rallies and approaches Charlotte, but she grabs him and rolls him up in the double arm crossface submission!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Maybe not!
He struggles towards the ropes, trying to wrench free-- Mad Dog lifts her attempting to turn her into position for the Pain In The Neck piledriver -- but Charlotte fights free and flips forward, dragging him over again to continue her hold! This time he's close enough to the ropes to break it! The referee has to count to four and three quarters to get Charlotte to release the hold, and Mad Dog's clambering up by the ropes.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I really thought Mad Dog had this match for the first half of it, but Charlotte's really got him in a state with that submission maneuver!
Charlotte approaches him again and--
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
WRIGHT WAY, OUTTA NOWHERE!
The ace crusher flattens Charlotte. He dives in for the pin.
ONE!

"The Man" by Aloe Blacc begins to play over the PA and the crowd instantly begins to boo. As the words "I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man" play, a spot light shines on the entrance way revealing the Marvelous One. His back is to the crowd, and his arms are spread out wide revealing the rhinestones words "Simply Marvelous" on the back of the robe.
The Marvelous One spins around with a huge and cocky smile on his face. The light bounces off of his sequined and rhinestoned white ring rob, with purple and blue designs on it. The darkness is replaced with a soft purple glow, but the spotlight stays on The Mecca of Manhood.
The Marvelous One struts to the ring, walking slowly, taking his time and allowing everyone to view him. He climbs the ring stairs and instructs the referee to hold the ropes open for him.
The Ref holds the ropes open and the Marvelous One steps through and wins around in a 360 to the middle of the ring. He unties his robe, and removes it slowly, handing it to the referee.

This guy sure is full of himself.
The ref searches both competitors for illegal weapons and when he is satisfied he signals for the bell and the match is under way. Dakota comes right at Mason and delivers a series of elbow shots to the chest of her much taller and bigger foe. Mason seems to just be shrugging them off and then makes his chest muscles dance a little which seems to sort of entrance Dakota. She then delivers a kick to the gut and locks up with Mason, she tries to get some leverage but he pushes her and then shoves her hard to the mat. Dakota hits the mat and then sits there as Mason grinds his pelvis with his hands crossed behind his head. Dakota seems really flustered at the manliness of Mason. She ducks her head through the ropes and talks to Nina and then returns to the ring and goes to grab Mason but then ducks under and slaps the ass of Mason hard. Mason jumps at the impact and then turns around and smiles and nods his head.

Dakota again locks up Mason and he simply overpowers her grabbing her hands and running them down his chiseled chest. She pulls them away quickly and then Mason simply blows her a kiss and winks at her. She runs at him but Mason ducks and on the return she nails an ass attack that staggers Mason she bounces off the ropes and tries for another but Mason simply catches her by the waist and then lets go but then puts her right in the Muscle Lock and after about thirty seconds Dakota passes out and Mason lets her down to the mat and then simply grinds over her as the ref signals for the bell and we have a submission win by passout.

Mason hits a front double bicep and the crowd comes alive with boos once more. Mason smirks as he soaks in the boos.

Demetrius, the truth is you couldn’t pin my shoulders to the mat if your life depended on it. You beat Giant Tiger, but you know damn right that one on one, man to dad-bod, beast to obese, that you wouldn’t stand a chance against the Mecca of Manhood. So, Demetrius I am calling you out, and while I know you have a gut, do you have GUTS enough to face me one on one?
"Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult hits over the PA and the crowd begins to cheer, some from being a fan or Lane, and some because they simply hate Mason. Demetrius Lane comes out to the top of the entrance way holding a microphone.

THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Hello Dystopia, welcome to a new episode of Ace TV! My guests at this time is The Revolutionaries themselves! Renee Jonae, Vincent Lyons Jr and his sister, MY beautiful wife, Victoria!!
Ace goes and say to the trio with a warm smile on his face.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Welcome to Ace TV!!
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
Merci Ace. I've had the pleasure of forging a partnership with the Lyons, and both have treated me well, so it's very nice to meet some of the extended family and making my Ace TV debut all at the same time! It's no surprise Victoria chooses her men well, this is a lovely program you have going on.
Renee blows a kiss to the excited crowd and looks towards the twins. Vincent takes in a warm reaction from the fans, before speaking into his mic.
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
Thank you for allowing us this time to speak, really nice setup you got here Ace.
After Vincent is done, Victoria takes in her own reaction before giving her response.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Good to be back on the show. Hopefully nobody thinks there's some nepotism going on, this being my second time on your show.
She smiles and laughs, giving her husband a wink.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
My first question is, how did you three decide to form The Revolutionaries?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
Well I consider myself a person who keeps her finger on the pulse of things, some people never prepare and don't even react to crises, but not me. I'm drawn to brand management and I dabble in spiritual connections, so I have sharp senses when it comes to understanding what's going on with people at large. I noticed many omens on the horizon that made it quite obvious WWH would be faced with brutality and tyranny, and Vincent, who I've always considered a rival to keep an eye on, often expressed interest in speaking to me when he and Victoria would speak of getting companions in the wars they also predicted would come. I'm not shy and time was of the essence, so I reached out to make them know I liked the sound of what they had to say and we should put it into action, so we could stop the forces threatening to rule this company before it's too late. Right, Vincent?
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
It’s been a rough year for everyone, and to help give the WWH fans something a little brighter to take their minds off this wild year we’ve had is the least we can do. Havoc seems to be building himself an army with his Ashes of the Wake, and the only way to fight an army, is to rise up and create your own.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I think my two cohorts said it well enough, we won’t stand for tyranny or any sort of injustice. The fans don’t deserve it, and we all have enough to deal with, we don’t need Ashes of the Wake ruining everyone's fun as well. Havoc has become too powerful, and if he isn’t stopped soon, I don’t know what that could mean for the future of WWH.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Great to hear!! What do you three want to say to the Ashes of the Wake, the stable that has Nikki Caldwell and Havoc in it?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
They should know, this far from over, after everything Havoc has done in this business to get ahead we won't stop until the entire Ashes of the Wake get what's coming to them. Using a chair to beat me won't get rid of me, it only made me more determined and cognizant that they're already desperate. They're already losing members despite pretending they'd die for one another, Nikki should know no one can trust Havoc, she's just drawn to his dark charisma of leadership somehow. I know I have said this before, but since I have heard Zolton brag he is the only one to bring Havoc to a draw, I must repeat that I've actually defeated Havoc, one two three, in a WWH ring, and I know he isn't as invincible as everyone believes.
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
Just know, Havoc, that this is far from over between us. I earned myself a chance to regain my championship and I won’t let it slip this time. I won’t stop until I get gold around my waist once more, and taking it from you is the cherry on top.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
They both have yet to see what The Lyoness will bring to the table, but I promise I am just as vicious as my brother. No more sidelines. My family is the most important thing in my life, and I will die for them if I have to, and when I say family I don’t just mean my brother, I mean Renee as well, that girl over there is a fighter through and through, and I am honored to share a sisterhood with her.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Wonderful! What does the future hold for you three?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
I have a lot in the works. Facing Cloud to regain the Women's World Championship. Our battle with Ashes of the Wake. The Shogun tournament. It's all exciting, and I can't wait to see what Victoria can do in the ring, if it's anything like Vincent she'll be extraordinary competition. It's lovely to be welcomed into this family, but I also have a family of my own. My fiance was recently inducted into a hall of fame in Japan, right before he was struck down by Havoc and another branch of his cult, if anyone thinks that doesn't drive me when it comes to Ashes of the Wake and proving myself in Japan, they have their image of me deeply wrong. I have lots to do, but I'll manage!
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
As I previously stated, my immediate goal is of course to regain my Affliction Championship. I didn’t quite get the big title shot and that was my own fault. But to take back what he took from me a little over a year ago would be a great blow to their momentum. Then I can toss the scraps to Zolton and see what he does with them.

Well, Ace... I am seeking to become this year's Shogun. I know You and Renee both have entered and that’s great! But if it comes down to us having to face each other, whatever happens between the bells is all business. Even if you’re my husband, or one of my best friends, between the ropes if you are my opponent, that’s what you are. I’m sure you both understand, and if it’s not me who wins Shogun, I do hope one of you takes the crown.

We cut back to the ringside, the next match’s competitors just about to be announced when the arena lights begin to flash, causing the crowd to murmur and look around. Music begins over the speakers of the arena, heavy drumbeats resounding throughout the arena as the beginning of AFI’s “I Hope You Suffer” plays.

The raspy and electric voice of Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley and those distinctive guitar riffs suddenly starts over the speakers of the arena, igniting a pop from the crowd. Josh Kaine appears from backstage, his face empty of all emotion as he walks to the ramp with his arms extended for a few moments before heading to the ring.
♪ I believe them bones are me

Giving nods and slapping a few fans’ hands on the way down, Josh climbs up onto the ring apron and gives the barest hint of a malicious smile before climbing through the ropes. He retreats to his corner, hands on the ropes to await his opponent’s arrival.

Kaine was very impressive in his last match and I am keeping my eye on him, a very talented, young star.

NOAH HANSON
This should be an interesting match. Striker has been up and down while Kaine has a lot of potential.
Both men are warned about weapons as Striker hands his noose to the ref and then the ref walks over and hands the noose to a ring attendant and then signals for the bell. Striker looks over at his tag partner and they both nod and then Striker meets Kaine in the middle of the ring and Striker with a slap to the face and then a another which seems to have caught the youngster off guard and Striker just beats Kaine down to the mat and grinds his elbow into the face of the young star. Kaine tries to cover up from the ground and pound of Striker with little success. Striker with an elbow lock and floats over and twists at the elbow more putting it in an painful position. He releases the move and then drives an elbow into the top of the head of Kaine and then applies a rear chinlock and just basically makes Kaine take all his weight.
NOAH HANSON
Great move by Striker just putting all his weight on the back of the kid. Making him work twice as hard just to breathe.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Couldn't have said it better myself.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The more Kaine moves the harder it is for Kaine to breathe.
Striker yells at the ref to check on Kaine and ask if he gives up, to which Kaine responds with a middle finger. Striker loosens up the move but leaps up and drives a knee into the back of Kaine. Kaine screams in pain. Striker rolls him over and makes a cover....
ONE!
KICKOUT!
Striker pulls Kaine up to his feet and sends Kaine into the ropes Kaine on the return ducks under a clothesline attempt and then on the return nails a textbook dropkick right on the jaw. Striker bounces into the ropes but on the return levels Kaine with a running lariat that just turns Kaine inside out. Striker pulls Kaine to his feet and lifts him up for a high angle powerbomb and just folds up Kaine like an old lawn chair.
NOAH HANSON
Striker is very impressive tonight!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Striker has stuck to his game plan tonight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Kaine has yet to get much in...
Kaine is slowly getting to his feet, using the ropes to pull himself and Striker seeing this runs at Kaine trying to take his head off with a running boot to the head but Kaine ducks and Striker's leg/lower region straddle the top rope and Kaine does the only thing he can and kicks the top rope as hard as he can. Striker screams in pain and Kaine finally has an opening. Kaine uses the ropes and uses them to nail a Shining Wizard that nearly takes the head of Striker off and he slumps and falls into the ring. Kaine leaps over the top rope and then leaps right back over and drops a leg across the chest of Striker and then climbs to the top. He looks to the fans as Striker makes his way to his feet and Kaine leaps off nailing a missile dropkick.
NOAH HANSON
Told ya the kid has moxie!

Kaine looks at the ref and he motions that Striker got the shoulder up. Kaine shakes his head. He goes to pull Striker up but Striker with a thumb right to the throat causing Kaine to stumble backwards gasping for air. Striker comes and peppers the gut of Kaine with a series of kicks and then a spinning back fist. Striker grabs Kaine and sends him into the ropes but Kaine slides under the ropes and baseball slides Minami into the barricade and then climbs back on the apron and when Striker tries to grab him he ducks and nails a couple of shoulder charges into the gut of Striker causing him to stumble back. Kaine leaps onto the top rope and nails the Sandstorm (springboard clothesline) and then scrambles and makes a cover...
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
NOAH HANSON
Wow all that and Striker still kicks out! Impressive!

Kaine showcasing his speed and agility in that series but the lighter weight might have been what kept him from keeping Striker down.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Exactly what I was thinking!
Kaine looks a little frustrated as he pulls Striker to his feet but Striker grabs the back of Kaine' head and drops down, nailing a jawbreaker. Striker seems just to be in as much pain as Kaine as he grabs the top of his head in pain but he grabs Kaine and lifts him up for the Apocalypse (Emerald Flowsion) but he staggers after getting him up which gives Kaine a second he needs to pepper Strikers' kidney and then Kaine moves slightly and is able to transition to a victory roll...
ONE!

Striker looks distraught in the middle of the ring and looks over at the ref and he signals it was a three count and Striker shakes his head.
Following the Kaine vs Striker match we cut back to a secluded part of the water park where we find Sah'ta Thor pacing with his 2016 WWH International Championship over his right shoulders. As he paces he his hand keeps rubbing at the surface of the belt.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
They say that history is written by the victors in any war. Yet, that isn't always the case. There are times where history is purged from existence. Times when the powers that be want you to forget what came before.
His hand drops from the belt on his shoulder to let the fans see it in its unobstructed glory.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Such is the case here inside the WWH. Years ago Adrian Hart decided to do away with the official records for all the Showdown and HellsGate Titles. Yet, we know that some were merged into the Dystopian and Sanatorium linages. You can look at the current title histories to see the ones I refer to. Yet, others had their histories vanish in the aether as if they hadn't even existed. Which to be fair was Adrian's way. A way I experienced first hand when he fired me after I had some personal issues come up.
Sah'ta Thor's hand comes back up to caress the polished metal on his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Later tonight, in the main event will have Johnny Cedrone face off against Stephanie Matsuda for the so called WWH International Championship. A belt that has only existed since Grindhouse 2019, which occurred on June 30, 2019. I have spent some time looking through the WWH Network to better understand things as they are now. In doing so I found out something interesting. It seems that the Utopia Championship was the result of merging two other WWH Championships. Imperium Champion "The Italian Sensation" Martina Vespucci vs High Stakes Championship, Brian Boru. I did some digging and I am not even sure how Boru got the High Stakes title but his name isn't even in the official title history. Now we can look to the current title histories to see the outcome of the Grindhouse 2019 title unification match. .
With a sigh Sah'ta Thor pauses and looks straight at the camera with a look of confusion for a moment.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Yet, where is the record of either the High Stakes or Imperium Championships in the official records? That is right they don't exist from what I can see. Though they won't probably won't be that hard to piece together since they both came into existence after the company rebranding. In fact, it seems they were titles on the now defunct Imperium brand, which only exists in the WWH Network archives. Yet even as interesting as that is I digress. Johnny Cedrone is only the third person to ever hold the Utopia Championship. Though the records list him as the fourth which could be where the missing High Stakes and Imperium Championship legacies are. Yet, as I have already shown the records are not complete given that Brian Boru isn't listed in there as he was the one who defended the High Stakes title in the unification, not Caleb Foster. [/font]
The pacing picks back up as Sah'ta Thor returns to his point.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Good Ole Johnny won the belt a couple months back at DreamState. Yet, he wasn't content with being known as the Utopia Champion. No, on the June 14th edition of Dystopia he came out and started calling himself the International Champion. That is right folks you can go back and look at the footage on the WWH Network. Ever since then Cedrone has been parading around calling himself the WWH International Champion and from what I can tell the management is buying into it.
Thor shakes his head slightly as he licks his lips while tracing the outline of the nameplate on the title that rested his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
However, I get the fact that DreamState was around the time that Adrian vanished and the WWH changed ownership. So I can forgive the lack of complete title records. What I can't forgive is the people in this company who have stood by and let this destruction of history happen. People like Chris Matthews and Pandora Bennett who were here when I last was. Or people like Noah Hanson or Caleb Foster who like me have held the WWH International Championship or the HellFire Title it was later merged with. There are others who share the blame for sitting by and allowing Cedrone to make a mockery of the legacy the belt on my shoulder represents.
Sah'ta Thor turns and looks right into the camera as he lifts the title belt off his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Whoever wins the main event tonight may have the right to officially be called the champion, with all the glory and bonuses that entails, but until they face me the belt they carry is merely a trinket. A pretty bauble that has less history than my ring gear. Until either Matsuda or Cedrone face a real International Champion all they will be carrying is still just the renamed Utopia Championship. I know full well that I lost the real WWH International Championship in a match in the center of the ring. Yet, unlike the champions who came after me I am willing to do what it takes to restore this forgotten history to its proper place.
With that Sah'ta Thor walks off towards where the ring area was as he had a match later in the night. As he walks off it cuts back to the ring for the triple threat tag team match.
Noah is still hanging around and well with the next match there is an obvious vested interest. The lights go out and the start of "Eye of the Tiger" plays and a spotlight is shown. Dark Tiger, Giant Tiger and their ladies come to the spotlight.

As Noah continues to scribble in his notepad... The camera pans around Dystopia and we hear cheering from the crowd. They are chanting “FOR THE GLORY”. That is when “For the Glory” by All Good things hit the P.A system. The fans start to cheer as the song continued to play. The lights begin to strobe a mixture of orange, blue, white, and purple.

Chris is seen coming out wearing a loose leather jacket, black wrestling tights with silver on it, black wrestling knee pads, and black and silver boots. He then moves to the right. Finally, Pandora is seen coming out wearing a misfit crop top, black shorts, fishnets, black boots, and a black hoodie.

They all eventually get to the ringside. Pandora walks towards the steel steps and gets into the middle. She puts her feet on the bottom rope and that is when Chris and Travis climb the side and look at the crowd who is amazed by these three. Pandora then throws the hood of her hoodie back and screams loud.
♪ We celebrate with the city tonight
Hear the hometown cheer, it's the ultimate high
For the glory (For the glory)

They all three then enter the ring and Travis and Chris head over to the opposite corners and climb them. All while Pandora is still on the ground and leaning against the ropes with her stomach. Just then Chris, Travis, and Pandora all take off their tops and put them on the outside. Chris and Travis get down, they all head over to the corner and prepare for their match.
As everyone is getting their instructions by the ref Blake is staring a hole through Noah, who is simply sitting there smirking so evilly like a super villain. The bells rings and suddenly everyone just starts brawling Matthews and Anderson weirdly work together and go right after the Tigers. Giant Tiger uses a biel toss to launch Blake across the ring but Matthews with a chop block that takes the big man off his feet and down to a knee, Matthews with a step up shining wizard and the big man slumps to the mat. Meanwhile Blake is back up and he goes right after Dark Tiger and clotheslines him over the top rope and to the floor and then looks over at Noah and flips him off. Noah simply shakes his head but Blake doesn't see Pandora right behind him and she takes his head off with a superkick and then Pandora is tackled to the ground by Belladonna and she mounts Pandora and starts laying the fists to Pandora.

The ref is trying to get the match under control but the wrestlers are having none of it as Blake and Matthews double clothesline Dark Tiger who had just got back into the ring right back outside. But when the two turn they are met with a vicious running double clothesline from Giant Tiger. Matthews and Anderson are down and Barrett and Hunter both try to attack the much larger Tiger and he simply grabs Belladonna and lifts her up and puts her outside the ring but Pandora with a low blow and Hunter gets back in and the two chicks nail a double dropkick that send Giant Tiger through the ropes and to the floor. Anderson and Matthews are back up and the respective girls run at their partners and they are both launched out and onto the two Tigers. The ref is looking like Adam Sandler's character Paul Krewe in the 'Longest Yard' during the first practice when the team brawls just throws his hands up and calls the match to be thrown out. He goes outside and talks with ring announcer Sona Raylee as security is now being called in to break up the fighters.

Thank you Caleb and Jacob! You’re right! I have the distinct honor and privilege to be standing here with the International Champion, Jonny Cedrone and his lovely manager and wife, Gloria! Jonny, Gloria, thank you so much for your time here tonight!
Jonny and Gloria both respond with smiles.

If you don’t mind Jonny, I’d like to start this interview with Gloria. Would that be okay?

Oh Faith, flattery will get you everywhere my dear!
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Tonight, Jonny’s International Championship will be on the line for the first time, will you be at ringside for the match?
GLORIA
Of course! I’m here to support my husband and wouldn’t miss this for the world!

Gloria and Jonny both look at Faith with surprised expressions.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Whoa!! And Faith Wilde with the hard-hitting questions here tonight Foster!
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
I’m…I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to insinuate anything. It’s just that the last time you were at ringside, you got involved in the match. I was wondering if tonight will be a repeat of that night?
GLORIA
You say that you have been watching me for a long time, but I guess you happened to miss that part of the match where Pandora got involved first? Faith, I’m not just Jonny’s manager. I happen to also be his wife! We’ve been together through thick and thin for the past thirteen years! I love him and he loves me – with all of our hearts! We support one another! We protect each other! We defend one another! We’re there for one another in ALL aspects of life my dear! I saw that Jonny was fighting unfair odds at the time so I decided - against my usual acts - to act, get involved and even up the odds a little bit. So to answer your question, I will not –nor do I ever – go out of my way to get involved in this or any match. I promise one thing though, if anyone gets involved on Ms. Matsuda's behalf, I will once again do what I have to do to protect my man.
Faith now turns her attention to Jonny.
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Ms. Wilde, I feel that your concerns about whether Gloria will get involved in the match are unwarranted. I feel that anyone’s concerns about any outside interference during this match is unwarranted because I think that Ms. Matsuda is a standup kind of competitor! While I know that Ms. Matsuda is the kind of warrior that will do whatever it takes to get the win, I don’t think that includes outside interference. She strikes me as the kind of person that will take everything that she has into the battlefield and leave every bit of it out there. If she wins, she wins. If she loses, she loses. Despite the outcome, she knows that she won it on her own or she knows what she needs to work on to get the win the next time.
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
This is your first title defense Jonny, are you nervous? Even in the slightest?
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Ms. Wilde, I’ve been a Champion before. I’ve been a Champion multiple times, and it doesn’t matter how many times you hold a Championship, every defense is a bit nerve-racking! You fight so hard to win that Championship, to become Champion, and every first defense can make you feel one of two ways. It can make you feel that all of the hard work that you put into winning the Championship was for nothing or it can make you feel that all of that hard work was worth every effort! You lose – You question yourself. You win – It was worth every bit of it! The feeling and the fear of the unknown is always worse when your first title defense is against a competitor like Ms. Matsuda.
She earned the position that she’s sitting in right now. She was in the tournament to crown the number one contender and fought hard to win it.
Jonny turns his attention towards the camera
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Ms. Matsuda, I don’t know if there is a whole lot left to say honestly. We both know that I have the utmost respect for you and your abilities in the ring. I’ve been looking forward to this night for such a long time. Whether I retain this prestigious Championship or I lose it here tonight, I think I’m more excited about the opportunity to get in the ring with you and put on one helluva match for the fans! You are one of the greatest athletes this sport has ever seen Ms. Matsuda, there’s no doubt about it! You have the skills, the abilities, the mindset, the heart, the drive…everything it takes to win this match and win this Championship here tonight. The thing of it is – so do I.
Ya see, where you’ve been through Hell with Renee Jonae and you’ve fought hard to get this opportunity, I’ve been through Hell with Jacoby Spencer, the man that I fought so hard to get this Championship. We took each other to limits that neither of us knew that we had. Tonight, you and I will do the exact same thing. You’re currently and proudly holding the WWH Women’s Championship, but you’re looking for more. You’re looking to add to that collection by taking the International Championship here tonight. I admire your moxie and I respect your ambitions, but tonight Ms. Matsuda, you and I will clash like two titans! Planets will align! Fault lines everywhere will open! The earth will quake! Volcanoes everywhere will erupt! Pandemonium everywhere! When the two of us meet in that ring tonight Ms. Matsuda, It’s going to be cataclysmic! But when all of the dust settles and the smoke clears, there can only be one winner. I’m sorry to inform you that it’s not in your destiny to win the International Championship – not tonight anyway – because tonight I’m keeping this Championship exactly where it belongs, wrapped around my waist. I do wish you the best of luck though Ms. Matsuda!
Jonny and Gloria go to walk off but Faith doesn’t seem to be done. Jonny looks down at the floor while listening to what Faith Wilde has to say.
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Before you go Jonny, I do have one more subject to discuss if you don’t mind. Sah’ta Thor made his return to the World Wrestling Headquarters two weeks ago on Dystopia and he had some thoughts about you and the International Championship. He claims that he’s the only one who has the right to call himself the International Champion, even going as far as revealing that he still has the International Championship that he had from years gone by.
Jonny looks back into Faith’s eyes
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
You can stop right there Ms. Wilde. I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time talking about this subject because I take care of my issues one at a time. Tonight my focus is on Ms. Matsuda. On the other side of this clash, I can put as much focus on Thor as I possibly can. I will say this though…
Jonny looks into the camera, takes the International Championship off of his shoulder and holds it proudly into the camera
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
...Thor, I don’t know how long you’ve been gone, but as you can see, there’s a new International Champion in town. You can try to say that this Championship isn’t the real deal or that this Championship doesn’t count or that I’m an imposter. Your thoughts, your feelings…you’re entitled to them. But what you can’t do is besmirch the passion, the dedication and the heart that was forged into this Championship! This Championship represents everything that’s good in wrestling, everything that’s good in the world and everything that’s good in people! This is the People’s Championship and I will defend this Championship as if my life depends on it – if for nothing else – for that reason alone. I do what I do, I go to that ring and I do what I do for the fans, for the people because that’s who I’m here for and that’s who I represent! Tonight, I defend this Championship in their honor, I defend this Championship in the name of the people against the great Stephanie Matsuda. But Thor, if you want a shot at this Championship, if you want a Championship for Championship match to show the world just who the real International Champion truly is…then I have no problem with that. Until then though, get in line.
Ms. Matsuda, I promise, you’ll have my undivided attention!

PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Maybe a little, but when somebody else has you as flustered as Thor does Cedrone, you can’t possibly give the task at hand the proper attention. And when you have someone as talented as Stephanie Matsuda across the ring from you, wanting your Championship, you HAVE to give her the proper attention or she’s going to take full advantage of it!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Definitely something to think about.
The scene is seen taking place inside of a ring with 3 chairs. Suddenly, a tall slender build man is seen getting ready to interview some people. He says into the nearby camera.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Hello Dystopia, welcome to a new episode of Ace TV! My guests at this time are the Ashes of The Wake: Nikki Caldwell, Jada Blaire and Havoc!!
Ace goes and says to the trio with a warm smile on his face.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Welcome to Ace TV!!
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
I’ll start it off, if that’s okay with you. What’s this supposed to be, Ace? Some sort of a set up to get us here, while your wife hatches a plan to catch us by surprise? Can I expect you to be professional then? Cause that’s what is missing with the world isn’t it? True professionals. People who value their position. Not a bunch of phonies that only reach a certain level in their life through corruption and nepotism. But what would you know about that, right Ace? I see through your fake smiles and your terrible sense of courtesy-- You just want us to look bad to the people so that the incompetent Revolutionaries could look better in comparison. Did your wife set you out for the task, Ace? How’s she doing by the way? I am surprised she hasn’t left her doofus brother by himself like everybody else he ever aligned with. The Pride is dead and born from it are the Revolutionaries! But that’s a mere projection of how Vincent truly feels. The man touted to be the next big thing-- Now, just a regular old member of the roster.
JADA BLAIRE
Oh, we have all had enough of Vincent and his sister. The number one contendership won’t go any different for him. But Renee-- That’s who we are interested in. Why would somebody of immense talent, dumb herself down to the levels of the ‘Prideless’ Vincent Lyons Jr. As for the welcome-- Save it. We know better. Get to the questions and be done with it. We have a world to change-- Examples to set! Lifes to save! And a lot to learn from each other Ain’t that right, Nikki?
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Seriously. I know I'm relatively new to Dystopia still, but one thing you need to know about me is I'm not a talker, I'm a doer. Sometimes a person has to articulate in words to make their point clearer though, so let's get this show on the road so we can get back to the important things!
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Uhh… Okay. Well, my first question is, how did you three decide to form the Ashes of The Wake?
JADA BLAIRE
Well, correction! It wasn’t the three of us that brought the Ashes to life. Simply put, it was the manifestation of Havoc’s will. He had a vision a LONG time ago after seeing the state of the world that we live in. Corruption at every door. People hungry with power, trying to bring the rest of the world down to feed their own egos. The big corporations fuel the death of their own people to facilitate their personal growth. It’s a travesty, to begin with.And after YEARS AND YEARS of suffering that Havoc had to endure at the hands of the people he trusted-- He simply had enough. Christopher Sabertooth was no more and Havoc was born from the Ashes. That’s what the world needs. It needs to be brought down to reality-- It needs to burn in hell! And only then can the Ashes become the manifestation of the New World to be. That’s what we do. That’s who we are.
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
I have always had an open mind to who I let in to the secrets of this world. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in second chances. Heck, I wouldn’t be here if I never got one. Along the several continents that I have traveled, I have met countless people who would LOVE to be a part of our movement. And I let them in! That’s our ideals. We believe that a person can change. Heck, even Vincent might be a decent wrestler some day. You never know! We had to let go of some people due to reasons unknown-- or rather out of necessity. But as people go, new ones make their way in. They familiarize themselves to the movement. They realize what they’re getting into. We are just the messengers! We are only the harbingers of reality! People who join us, decide their own destiny. Everybody has a story-- Everybody has been failed by the system. And deep down, they wished it could be different. We don’t procrastinate about the what ifs… We take action. We flip the script upon the people of power and let it act out from that point forward. And yet, we are labeled as terrorists. As unwanted. As rebels. As MONSTERS! All that we are, is mistaken. So, that was why we made the Ashes into a reality. For people like Nikki to join us and fight for the cause. She has her own reasons to have answered the call that fateful day. She saw something in us. That is for her to tell.
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
It's right there in what you and Jada said. The world needs to be brought into reality. And if you look around you, the way the world's kinda going to hell? That's reality. That's what the world has always been, the candy coating is just starting to fall off, which is a step forward because you can't change what you've never truly seen. Truth is, anything in this world you want, you're going to have to fight for. It's the warriors that make this world into what it is and what it will be, not the meek and accepting. I found someone likeminded in Havoc-- I want to inspire people to stand up for what they want and their rights. I want them to find something of their own to achieve, and help them get there! Of course anyone who wants the titles me and Havoc hold will have to rise up to our challenge and our level, that's how we got them in the first place.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Great to hear!! What do you three want to say to the Revolutionaries, the stable that has Renee Jonae, my brother in law Vincent Lyons Jr and his sister/my beautiful wife Victoria?
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Well, you see, I try not to make flash judgments on people, something I learned from my brother V. But the Revolutionaries certainly haven't given me the same in return. Every time I turn around I'm being accused of being some dumb follower of Havoc who can't see she's going to get turned on. As if two rational intelligent adults can't form a team-- I believe there's a whole division of wrestling based on that premise, Ace. And just because I let him take the lead most times doesn't mean I'm following, it means I know him well enough to know that most times I agree with his impression of something, and in wrestling, that's just less time to waste. There's no reason for him to turn on me because there's no reason for jealousy between us. Frankly, I think the Revolutionaries are projecting their own issues onto us and it's going to bite them in the ass when they fail to take us down and start trying to scapegoat the blame on each other!
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
What do I think about the Revolutionaries? They call themselves that while we are the ones leading from the front lines. We are the ones trying to bring a change upon this world. We are the ones trying to save the people that have been wronged to as far as their memory goes. What are they doing? What are their motives? I’ll tell you EXACTLY what it is. Their ONLY goal as a collective is to put an end to us. So calling themselves Revolutionaries is as convoluted as protesting a protest. It DOES happen-- But is it the right thing? Your ‘beautiful’ wife must have sanctioned you to gather our opinions on their collective unit-- As if I would ever waste my time and energy on somebody like Vincent or Victoria. They have been old news ever since I stepped foot in this company and that won’t be changing because of one simple match. Nikki was part of it too. Am I upset with the result? I won’t lie to you-- I wanted Nikki to be the one to face me for the WWH World Championship because Vincent and Zolton have gotten PLENTY of opportunities against me and they have failed at every step of the way. And yet they find themselves with ANOTHER chance and I am supposed to be overjoyed with emotion, is it? Why the fuck would I care about people that I have beaten countless amount of times-- to the point that I don’t remember the last time they were worth a damn. Now, clinging on to somebody far more talented than himself is a great strategy for Vincent and I can imagine why Renee seemed like the perfect option! After all, she holds a pinfall victory over me. Something MOST people in this company can’t say. I know how good Renee is and I would have HOPED that Vincent wouldn’t have gotten through the thick skull of hers and convinced her to be part of something as mediocre as the bloody Revolutionaries.
JADA BLAIRE
We get it! It’s cool to stand up against the almighty Ashes. Plenty have tried, all over the world. They want to put an end to the dominance that we command. And guess what they all have in common? They all failed! Your wife is destined for failure! I mean, not that surprising considering the man she chose to marry. But hey! You wouldn’t DARE say anything to us, would you? Praise us, Ace! Tell us how good we really are. Look at ALL the gold that is around us and tell us WHY anybody stands a sliver of a chance to dent the armor of the Ashes? You won’t be able to. So, what else do you want to know?
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Wonderful! What does the future hold for the three of you?
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Anything we want it to be.
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
Future? That’s the wrong question, Ace! What does the ASHES hold for the future of this company-- Now, that’s more up to tune. The future is now, Ace. The future is the absolute destruction of everybody who has ever wronged us. The future is the death of the Revolutionaries. WE are the Revolution. The Ashes of the Wake will decide the fate of WWH and the rest of the world to follow. And when your goals are set that high, you don’t trip over little bumps on the road like the Revolutionaries. We leap over them and look forward. That’s what we do-- That’s what we bring to the table. So for anybody watching at home, desperately trying to skip over the nonsense spewed by this cardboard plank for an interviewer-- do pay attention to this. You TOO can be a part of the movement. You TOO can make history. All you have to do is take my hand and let me in! And I promise you… YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE!... Is that good enough for you, Ace? Is your wife happy now? Now, get back to your little cubbyhole.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
… Thank you three for being on Ace TV!!
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Riiiiiight, choke on your microphone, you tool.
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
The pleasure was all yours, Ace. I had a terrible time and I don’t look forward to ever seeing you again. Now, get the fuck away from us.
JADA BLAIRE
You heard the man!
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Goodnight all!
He notices that Renee, Vincent and Victoria are seen charging to the ring and tangle with Nikki and Havoc. Ace quickly gets out of the ring. Havoc meets the oncoming Vincent with the Dead Trigger running knee strike! He staggers right into Nikki's I of the Storm snapmare driver! But Nikki turns right into Renee's Black Girl Magic DDT, and Havoc's taken down by Victoria's Starfall diving ace crusher. Security finally breaks on the scene, trying to separate the stables from the all out war that has ensued as we go to commercial!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following contest is scheduled for one fall! The first competitor to score a pinfall or submission will be the victor! There will be a thirty minute time limit!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Are you ready for this one, Foster?! Oh man that hype video has me psyched! I don’t think we’ve ever had as much buzz for a semi-main event as we do right now! This arena is electric!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Of course it’s electric, nimrod. Everything around us is electric. These monitors, those cameras, the lights. But to your point, that’s exactly right. This is the Semi-Main Event! We still have an International Championship Match to look forward to! This night just keeps getting better and better!
"Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult plays over the PA System as nuclear blue searchlights encircle the arena before residing in unison at the entrance ramp. Liberal use of ascending camera angles help to accentuate the incredible size of the competitor entering the hippodrome of hiptosses. He moves with a swagger of confidence that intermingles with a single minded purpose of the task at hand. Ultimate competition. Preferable domination. But all in all, using the unique set of skills that have been afforded to Demetrius "Godzilla" Lane. He leaps onto the apron, and glides through the ropes with ease, wagging his finger towards the camera and at home viewing audience with that ever present grin of supreme faith in his own abilities.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
You can see the limping of Godzilla as he makes his way to the ring for this one. After that vicious assault orchestrated by Beauty and the Beast earlier tonight. You have to believe his chances of coming out on top for this one are slim to none.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not entirely true, Jacob. It’s a triple threat match. If he was smart, he’d like Zolton and Thor do most of the work to each other. Take every opportunity to rest, and make sure to take advantage of every loophole presented to him until the deed is done!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first. Weighing in at 290lbs. He hails from Monster Island. He is Demetrius “Godzilla” Lane!
"Let it Die" by Ozzy Osbourne echoes through the arena's speaker system as the lights dim. A few seconds pass before an almost demonic looking Sah'ta Thor. He is dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt with a golden pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins with the words Sin Incarnate in white. After a moment of standing at the top of the ramp He starts towards the ring with a purposeful stride. Getting to the ring he looks at his foe for the night with a look that promises impending. After a moment he pulls off his shirt revealing his scarred toned muscular upper body. He turns and starts pacing in the ring as he awaits his opponents much like a caged animal as he waits for the starting bell.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The prodigal son returns to World Wrestling Headquarters. Sah’ta Thor feels, as many of his detractors, that he has a lot to prove coming back tonight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He wants to make the statement that he is the real International Champion. Being that he’s getting followed up by Johnny Cedrone later tonight, he has every opportunity to make that case right now.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent. Weighing in at 225lbs. He hails from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the “True International Champion”, “The Demon King” Sah’ta Thor!
The arena darkens as the "F8" by Five Finger Death Punch plays. The peak of the song is reached and the arena begins to flash almost as though an electrical surge flows through the arena. "F8" bleeds into "Rise Cover" by State of MINE and a blue spot light shines on the stage as it is covered with smoke/mist. A moment passes and into the spotlight stands Zolton facing away from the ring. His head lowered, hair silhouetting his face. The chorus flows from "Rise Cover" and he turns and walks down the ramp way. Ignoring the crowd up against the entrance ramp. Mist covers the ring now as he climbs the steps and enters the ring as it fills with blue lighting. He leans in his assigned corner after removing his long leather trench coat. The music fades out as the arena lights rise into normalcy.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And here he is, Zolton! I tell you what folks, the fans may be conflicted. As Zolton isn’t the kind of guy to go around kissing babies and hugging your grandmother for a photo op. But with the amount of carnage the Ashes of the Wake have been causing in recent weeks, you gotta believe they want to see Zolton take down Havoc!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He’s got a real tall order to fill before he can get to the champ, however. But as we saw last Dystopia, if anyone’s king of the triple threat match, it’s Zolton. I love to watch this man work!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And the challenger. Weighing in at 265lbs. He hails from Yakima, Washington. He is the #1 Contender to the WWH World Heavyweight Championship...Zolton!
DING DING DING
The match begins with no wasted motion. Many would find it a surprising start, as it was Zolton who found himself beset on all sides with either Sah’ta Thor or Demetrius Lane at his flanks. Zolton fights back fiercely raining down forearm blows over the backs of his attackers, as Thor Lane pummeled his midsection and chopped away at the six-foot-seven superstar. Eventually Demetrius is able to take down his charge with a snapmare takeover followed by a stiff kick to the lower back of the world title contender. Sah’ta Thor observes this action with his hands on his hips and shakes his head. He approaches the rookie Godzilla and holds up a finger. Just as Zolton was rising back to a seated position, Thor fires off a stiff kick of his own. Zolton writhes on the mat in pain from this dual assault. As Demetrius nods his head in approval before trying to set up Zolton for yet another kick in this strange show of one-upmanship from his opponents. However, it is Zolton who is tired of being a veritable kicking bag, as he smoothly encircles the ankle of Lane and drop toe holds him onto the mat, sending the monster crashing face first into the canvas. Zolton pushes the hair out of the front of his face as he growls menacingly in the direction of Thor screaming “Come on, try me!”
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A little bit of camaraderie going on between Thor and Lane going after Zolton! You’d think it’d go the other way, with the two veterans wanting to take down the rookie.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And you’d be wrong every time, Steele! Zolton is the #1 Contender for the World Title. He’s the most dangerous man in that match right now. Especially for two hungry hosses looking to make a name for themselves!
Sah’ta meets his challenger in kind, stepping up and blasting Zolton with a stiff forearm strike across the jaw. Zolton seems very fired up from his earlier embarrassment, and counters with a headbutt of his own. Thor staggers back a little from this but develops a wry smile on his face from the unorthodox offense of this fighter. He catches Zolton flush with a spinning backfist. This rears Z’s head back from the unexpected strike, but he spins around, catching Sah’ta arm in the rotation and LEVELS him with a pull in lariat that might as well have taken Thor’s head off! Godzilla taps Zolton on the shoulder to get himself back in the fray, but Zolton’s experience with last Dystopia’s triple threat encounter prepared him for this, taking no prisoners as he catches the King of the Monsters with The Titan Crushing Spinning Roundhouse Kick! Demetrius does the only wise thing he can in the face of such offense as he rolls out of the ring to shake the cobwebs off.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Holy toledo! Ladies and gentlemen this is just more proof that Zolton has been playing on another level than everyone else, Caleb. He’s unstoppable!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
They awoke the proverbial giant with their double team earlier. Now they are paying the price. I’m glad to see Demetrius taking my advice and taking the low road to recovery before that got bad and quick!
Zolton definitely looks fired up. Ready to try and end this match in as decisive a manner if possible. But he doesn’t account for the ingenuity and craftiness of his more seasoned opponent, and pays for his dearly. When he turns his attention away from Demetrius, there is Thor with a springboard basement dropkick to the knee that sends Zolton crashing to the mat! He struggles to return to his feet as his devastating left knee folds under his weight once more before he gets to a kneeling position. Which Thor continues to take advantage of with two chops to the throat. Followed by a roundhouse kick to the head, and finishing off by pulling Zolton’s hair in the back of his head to force him to look The Immortal in the eyes as he delivers a heart punch to Zolton...Sah’ta Combo! Demetrius Lane returns to the ring and lays in some heavy knife edge chops to Thor with a mongolian chop for flavor. But Sah’ta is able to weather this storm as well, pivoting around the back of his opponent and in an impressive feat of strength, lifts the Juggernaut into an Olympic Slam! Thor scoots his body over into the upper right hand corner, his lips tracing over his fangs as he surveys which one of the big men are going to make it to their feet first to meet his next flurry of offense.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And THAT’S why they call him the Raging Storm, folks! Sah’ta Thor is finding his stride, really impressive showing thus far from the disputed International Champion!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Thor is used to fighting from underneath due to his size. But once you get him in a dominant position, it gets downright scary. You never know what he’s gonna do! Can you believe that nobody has been able to even find the breathing room to score even a nearfall thus far?
Unfortunately for Thor, it turns out that both goliaths arise at the same time. Zolton favoring his chest, Demetrius his lower back, still searing from the steel chair assault from Mike Mason & The Beast earlier in the night. But both with eyes on the crafty veteran competitor. Thor doesn’t wait around like prey waiting to be devoured, he leaps against both fighters and unloads with strike after strike. Chops here, forearms there, high kicks low kicks you name it, he’s showing that he has stamina to last with the best of them. Unfortunately for him it’s not enough to keep both giants stunned, as Demetrius knocks him over with a shoulder block. Thor returns to his feet, but is immediately taken down by Zolton with a standing big boot. Zolton takes a few moments to admire his work as that seems to do a better job at keeping Thor off his feet. But he turns around and is scooped up by Lane into a definitive powerslam! Although it’s difficult with the lower back pain, Demetrius pulls himself back up and runs against the ropes. He crushes the world championship contender under his considerable girth with a front flip senton he calls Big In Japan!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Unbelievable! What a series of offensive moves from these competitors! They’re truly giving it their all and putting on a clinic!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It sounds cliche but nobody wants to lose! There’s so much riding on this match. Shogun momentum. International Championship ramifications. WORLD title ramifications. And we’ve still got more to come tonight folks! It doesn’t get any better than WWH!
Sah’ta Thor gets involved yet again, stopping even the thought of the rookie going for a pinfall in this contest. He slaps Demetrius over the sternum and starts raining down punches across the flanks of Godzilla. Thor’s adrenaline and bloodlust kick in as he starts viciously biting at the forehead of Lane, to which the referee tries to admonish the Immortal but it’s not technically illegal in a triple threat contest. Zolton comes to and self polices the situation, He grabs a hold of Thor and cracks him across the back with a massive clubbing blow that sends Sah’ta to his knees. Zolton lets out another battle cry before reaching down and folding up Sah’ta into his signature Crucifix Powerbomb Pin, Welcome To The Gates! He kneels over his pretzel-like victim for the pin. But Demetrius is right there shoulder blocking Zolton off of Thor! There is a short, sloppy scramble as both men paw at the ropes or the referee to get back to a dominant position. Zolton is there first. He goes for a slightly uncharacteristic bicycle kick to the head of Godzilla, and that unfortunate innovation is his undoing, as Godzilla unleashes a desperation Destroy. All. Monsters Spinebuster! Lane rolls over with a deep hook of the leg and the referee finally gets to get into position for a pinfall! Thor is still stunned from Welcome to the Gates and unable to interfere!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING DING DING!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And the winner of the match, “Godzilla” Demetrius Lane!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
YOU HAVE GOT. TO BE. KIDDING ME! Godzilla with the win outta nowhere! And I felt like we were just getting started!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s all it takes sometimes is three, flipping seconds! Just look at these guys. Zolton is already getting back to his feet! And Thor! And Lane! They might just keep going at it for the fun of it!
Godzilla reels back from the decision that seems to shock even him that it somehow worked out. Zolton also rises quickly but definitely holding his ribs in pain, frustrated that the wind was knocked out of him for just a fraction of a second too long to kick out. Thor finally begins to come to as well, with all three competitors staring at one another as if this could’ve gone for several minutes more under different circumstances. Zolton leaves first, frustrated with the loss. Sah’ta follows shortly after, slamming a fist to the mat for his own inability to stop the finish.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I tell you what folks, that’s an upset no matter which way you shake it. Godzilla’s going into Shogun with ALL the momentum. While Thor and Zolton are going back to ther respective drawing boards to figure out how to recover!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
At the end of the day, Thor still holds his International Championship in spite of Cedrone’s current claim to the throne. Zolton is still the #1 Contender for Havoc’s World Title. And all three of those men look like they could’ve went for a half hour longer or more! This isn’t going to be the last we’ve seen of any combination of these incredible competitors.
The King of the Monsters is left alone to bask in his victory, eyes still bulging in a mixture of disbelief and elation. Somehow beating back the odds of the assault from Mike Mason, as well as earning the victory against two very game opponents. We head to the final set of segments before the main event to follow.
Backstage.
The camera opens to “The War Queen” Stephanie “Cloud” Matsuda sitting backstage with her students and the WWH Tag Team Champions - Dynamic Duo. Serenity Scorpio and Jocelyn Sky are dressed in their civilian clothes while Matsuda was in her attire, The women’s champion seemed lost in thought as Jocelyn and Serenity are talking among themselves. Serenity turns to Stephanie and places a hand on her shoulder.
SERENITY SCORPIO
You got this, Steph. You earned this chance and after tonight, we’ll be the most dominant squad on Dystopia.
JOCELYN SKY
It sucks that we didn’t win our last match, but we’ll be ready when it comes time to defend our belts. It’s up to you to take our brand to the next level. We’re confident that you can get the job done.
Stephanie nods a few times but remains silent with her eyes closed.
JOCELYN SKY
You helped us become a more coordinated team. Not only that, but 2020’s been your year. Nearly every title you competed for you won. Just think of this as another day in the office and you’ll beat Jonny, no problem.
Monica Vaughan, Stephanie’s manager, and wife walks into view. She kisses her wife on the cheek and touches her face.
MONICA VAUGHAN
It’s almost time, mi amor. Girls, could you give us some privacy?
Serenity and Jocelyn nod as they walk away. Stephanie is still in her own head as Monica stands before her.
MONICA VAUGHAN
In that interview with Faith Wilde, you said you were at the peak of your career. What if I told you that I see no ceiling in sight, babe? You’re several steps from achieving everything. Just stay focused and before you know it, we’ll be there. You’re The Iconic War Queen for a reason. Remind them why that is.
Stephanie slowly opens her eyes and nods.
STEPHANIE MATSUDA

Stephanie and Monica walk down the ramp, their eyes fixated on the ring. At the bottom of the ramp, Matsuda runs and slides into the ring. She takes a moment to run the ropes and throws her hat into the crowd as a sea of people clamber for it!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
You and I both know just how much focus it takes to win a match, not to mention a Championship. It looks like she has that razor-sharp focus in aces right here!

the amount of focus it takes is unreal Foster! As you can see though, Stephanie Matsuda is not letting anything get between her and that Championship! If she keeps this up, like I said – It’s a sure thing for her!
She then climbs the nearest turnbuckle, pulls down her bandana, as she stares into the crowd. She then jumps down and prepares for her match.
“Ooh La La” stops playing. After a few moments of silence, “Now That We’re Dead” by Metallica starts blaring over the PA system much to the delight of the fans!

What?! I can’t hear you Foster! Y’know…I’ve never understood the love for this guy!
After a minute and eight seconds of the intro playing, Jonny Cedrone and Gloria come walking through the curtains which really gets the crowd up on their feet and screaming from the top of their lungs! Jonny, who’s sporting the International Championship proudly clasped around his waist, is wearing his usual maroon and gold ring gear. He stands at the top of the stage looking out over the fans for a moment with a bit of a grin. Gloria, still dressed in that sparkling black dress that you saw her in earlier, stands next to Jonny with a smile on her face and points in his direction – almost like a gameshow valet.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Jonny Cedrone is really getting adoration from the fans here tonight.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah – I don’t know why. If anyone deserves that kind of love and adoration it’s Miss Gloria! Look at how classy she is!
Jonny and Gloria take each other by the hand as they walk down the aisle. They slap some of the outstretched hands along the way. Once they reach the ring, Jonny holds Gloria’s hand as she climbs the steps. Once she reaches the top, she walks along the apron to halfway in between two of the corners. Jonny then makes his way up the steps and walks the apron towards Gloria. Jonny stands on the bottom rope and lifts up on the middle rope to allow Gloria to slink her way into the ring much to the lustful delight of some of the fans!

Once Gloria’s inside the ring, Jonny lets go of the ropes, wipes his feet and makes his way through the ropes. Once inside, he climbs each middle turnbuckle and plays to the crowd getting them pumped up even more! Stephanie Matsuda and Monica stand in their corner while Jonny and Gloria get in their corner. The music fades away as Jonny jumps around a little bit and does a little stretching. Stephanie Matsuda stands in her corner, jumping around a little as well.

Thank you so much for joining us again!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached our main event of the evening!!!
A huge pop from the fans.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Wrestling Headquarters International Heavyweight Championship!!!!
Another huge pop from the fans.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, to my left, the challenger. She’s accompanied to the ring tonight by Monica Vaughan. From Brooklyn, New York, she is WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPON!!! the ‘War Queen’ STEPHANIE ‘CLOUD’ MAAAAATSUUUUUUUDAAAAAAAA!!!!
The fans erupt in cheers at the sound of her introduction. The War Queen plays to them a little before they quiet back down so Sona can continue.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing next, to my right. He’s accompanied to the ring by Miss Gloria! Coming to us tonight from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 250 lbs! He is the defending World Wrestling Headquarters INTERNATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!! He is…….JONNNY CEEEEEDROOOOOOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!
The fans erupt in cheers once again as Jonny unstraps the International Championship and holds it high above his head for the fans to see! Both competitors meet the ref in the middle of the ring to receive their final instructions before the bell rings to start the match. Jonny hands the ref the Championship as the ref continues with his instructions. Once he’s finished talking, he holds the Championship with the straps folded neatly behind the centerplate with the centerplate up so both competitors can give it a respectful tap. Once they do, they go back to their respective corners while the ref holds the Championship up high for everyone to see.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s what this is all about! So much prestige in that Championship, Jacob!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
If Matsuda wins it here tonight Foster, then I can say that it has some prestige. As it stands right now, I just don’t know how much prestige it has. I mean you have a Champion who seems to not have respect for his opponents. Just a couple of weeks ago, he was pulling on his opponent’s hair and the time before that, he was giving low-blows. How can you respect a competitor like that Foster?!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Hey, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I guess. It’s your story Foster!
Stephanie Matsuda and Monica share some words of encouragement and a kiss before Monica exits the ring. In the other corner, Jonny and Gloria do the same before Jonny holds the ropes open for Gloria to make her exit. Both competitors turn to face one another, doing some last minute stretches in their corners before meeting in the middle of the ring once again and shake hands
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And a sign of respect!!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yuck! It won’t last long!
The ref calls for the bell as the competitors circle the ring and each other, extending the suspense.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
To steal an old line, ‘you can cut the electricity in the air with a knife’ Jacob!
Cedrone and Matsuda go to meet in the middle of the ring once again for a collar-elbow but Matsuda takes a shot at Cedrone’s left knee. Cedrone tries to avoid it but Matsuda’s too quick!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A true student of the game! She knows that he has a bad wheel and the size advantage so she’s taking it to the bad wheel! Smart move on Matsuda!
Cedrone limps away from her and tries to walk it off. Once again the two competitors circle. Once again they go to meet in the middle of the ring and once again Matsuda kicks him in the bad leg! She put some mustard on that one. Jonny limps away before Matsuda gets the chance to take advantage of her work. Jonny takes a little more time to walk it off this time before they circle one another once again. They go to meet in the middle of the ring once more and Matsuda goes to kick the leg once more but Cedrone catches the leg. Matsuda lets him think that he has control for a brief moment before giving the targeted leg a dropkick with her free leg! Half of the crowd cheers as Cedrone falls to the mat! Matsuda is quick to her feet to take advantage!
She starts stomping away on Cedrone’s bad knee while the other half of the crowd boos. She picks up his left foot and hits the back of his knee with her own knee multiple times. She then starts giving the leg elbow drops. Finally getting enough of the attack, Cedrone starts kicking away from her but she’s relentless and continues to try to attack it. They tussle until Jonny makes it to the ropes so the ref can break up the action. Showing respect and to the fans’ delight, Matsuda backs away so Cedrone can try to make it to his feet. Everyone gives a respectful applause. Jonny makes it to his feet, tries to walk off the injury but Matsuda is quick to try to attack it once again with a single-leg takedown but Jonny blocks the move. He tries to pick her up in either a gutwrench suplex or powerbomb, but when Cedrone gets Matsuda up and on his shoulder, she slides down the back, lands on her feet, turns quickly and chop blocks him. Cedrone crumples to his knees, Matsuda runs off the ropes, bounces off and dropkicks Cedrone dead in his face causing him to fall back, hyperextending his knee.
All of the fans are involved in this match, half trying to get behind Matsuda, the other half trying to will Cedrone into fighting back from this early advantage. Matsuda climbs to the top turnbuckle closest to her. Once she gains her balance atop of the turnbuckle, she jumps off and lands a cannonball senton! She’s quick to go for the cover….
ONE!
TWO!
Cedrone kicks out!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
You’re going to have to do more than that to get a win over the International Champion!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Just wait…she will.
Cedrone rolls out of the ring to get some distance between himself and Matsuda and also to give himself some time to rehab that knee. He limps his way from the side of the ring that he exited to the next side over and has found himself in front of the entrance way. He bends over and slaps his leg to try to get some blood circulating in the knee once again, not paying attention to what’s going on in the ring. Gloria rushes over to try to console Cedrone. Matsuda has taken off towards the opposite side of the ring, bounces off the ropes, runs towards the ropes near Cedrone, jumps when she gets close enough and lands a perfect Tope con Hilo!! Gloria just narrowly escapes the scene of the crime. The fans go wild at the sight of the move and the fact that she’s quick to get back to her feet. With adrenaline pumping, she slaps the hands of some of the fans at ringside, plays to the crowd then gets back into the ring, waiting for her spot. The ref starts to count Cedrone out as he tries to muster up enough energy and strength to get back to his feet. As the ref reaches the count of 6, Cedrone is to his knees. At the count of 8, Matsuda stops the ref from counting anymore. While Matsuda and the ref have a few words with one another, Jonny groggily makes it to his feet, but is unable to put any weight on his left leg and falls back against the barricade. Matsuda sees the situation, once again runs across the ring, bounces off the ropes, runs towards Cedrone again, jumps over the top rope with another attempt at a Tope con Hilo but this time Jonny stands upright and catches her. She tries to turn it into a hurricanrana but Jonny blocks that as well. Fighting through the pain, Jonny lifts up Matsuda’s upper torso and rams her back into the ringpost. Both competitors fall to the arena floor. Gloria rushes to Cedrone and Monica rushes to Matsuda.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
As we all suspected, both competitors aren’t showing any signs of quitting just yet.
The ref is counting as both competitors try to make it to their feet. Gloria and Monica disperse to their respective corners. Jonny makes it to his feet first and is favoring his left knee pretty heavily. Matsuda has made it to her knees, grasping at her back. Jonny takes Matsuda by the head and slides her into the ring. He follows her in and using the ropes to help himself back up to his feet, Jonny sets Matsuda up in a sitting position in the middle of the ring. Jonny gives Matsuda a good kick to the back before limping towards a corner. After a brief moment, he runs as fast as he possibly can with the bad wheel and hits her with a rolling neck snap. The fans start to get behind Cedrone as the momentum seems to be swaying in his favor. He gingerly gets back up to his feet as Matsuda writhes on the mat favoring her neck. Cedrone limps over to Matsuda, picks her up but slams her back down to the ground with a side Russian leg sweep! He decides to take this opportunity to go for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Matsuda kicks out before the ref gets the chance to come down for the 3rd slap of the mat. Cedrone doesn’t waste time as he gets back to his feet, picking up Matsuda by the head along the way. He hooks her up and snaps her back down to the mat with a quick suplex. Cedrone floats over for the pin, catching Matsuda and the ref off guard.
ONE!
TWO!
Matsuda kicks out at two-and-a-half!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Both combatants showing the heart of a Champion here tonight Jacob!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It all comes down to who wants it more and I still believe that it will be Matsuda standing in the end Foster!
Cedrone again gets to his feet before Matsuda does. He bends over and picks her up by the head but is quick to hit her with a facebuster into his knee. Cedrone locks in a headlock on the challenger. After fighting for what seems like forever, the fans get behind Matsuda as she finally makes her way to her feet. She punches Jonny a few times in the ribs, then sends him towards the ropes. He bounces off and knocks her down with the shoulder tackle. He runs to the ropes again, bounces off, Matsuda rolls over onto her stomach. Cedrone jumps over her bouncing off the ropes on the other side of the ring. Matsuda jumps up for a leapfrog but Cedrone catches her and drives her down with a devastating spine buster! The fans are split with cheers and gasps as Cedrone goes for the cover again.
ONE!
TWO!
The ref gets to two-and-three quarters but Matsuda kicks out again. Cedrone is showing a little bit of frustration now as he wonders what he has to do to put her away. As Cedrone gets up, he picks Matsuda up too, but much to his and the fans’ surprise, Matsuda locks in the rolling knee bar!! Both Gloria and Monica are slapping the apron in support of their respective competitor. Half of the crowd is cheering Matsuda and the other half is trying to get behind Cedrone!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And here it is Foster! This is going to go down in history as the moment that Stephanie Matsuda becomes the International Champion!!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
With Cedrone’s knee being as hurt as it is, I don’t think I can disagree, Jacob! This could be it!!!
The agony is apparent on Cedrone’s face as he’s writhing in pain in this hold! Matsuda’s face has a grimace of intensity as she’s giving that move everything she has!! But after what seems like hours, in what’s really just a few minutes, Cedrone has fought his way to the closest set of ropes to break the hold! Matsuda can’t believe it as she asks the ref if he was sure that Cedrone didn’t tap. Cedrone lies on the mat, holding his knee which is screaming in pain now. Matsuda makes it to her knees, thinking about her next attack. She goes on the offense, runs towards the ropes and hits Cedrone with a springboard moonsault. Not feeling that that was enough, she runs to the ropes again, bounces off and hits him with the Blasian Sunrise! She attempts a cover now…
ONE!
TWO!
Two-and-a half! As she’s facing away from Cedrone, Matsuda climbs to the top turnbuckle closest to him. She slowly stands up to get her balance, jumps off and connects with a beautifully executed corkscrew moonsault! Again she covers!
ONE!
TWO!
Two-and-three quarters! Now she’s frustrated. Matsuda makes her way to the outside of the ring and onto the ring apron, holding onto the top rope, poised to set something up. She waits on Cedrone who’s trying to make his way to his feet. He’s slow to get there, but he finally makes it there. Once he stands upright, Matsuda jumps up, bounces off of the top rope and connects with a Final Heaven!!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This is it Foster!!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-- NO!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELEHow the hell did he kick out of that one?!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He has the heart of a Champion, Jacob!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELEHe’s got the horseshoe of luck is what he’s got Foster!
Not letting that deter her, Matsuda is quick to get to her feet. She creates some distance between she and Cedrone and waits on him to stand up once again. After a long wait, she’s finally able to execute whatever move she’s planning on doing as Cedrone has finally and groggily made it to his feet. Matsuda has him measured up for Yahtzee! but Cedrone ducks, spins Matsuda around and hits her with a Royal Flush! Once again the fans are split between both competitors!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
How could this possibly be happening Foster?!
Cedrone, dealing with too much pain with his knee, wasn’t able to pack as much punch in that clothesline as he usually does and he’s not able to capitalize on the maneuver. Both warriors are laid out with Monica and Gloria slapping the apron once again, trying to will their competitors back into the match.
FANS
This is Awesome!!! This is Awesome!!! This is Awesome!!!
The referee starts counting both competitors down. The fans all start rising to their feet. Matsuda and Cedrone both start stirring at the count of five and have both reached their knees at seven. Matsuda hits Cedrone with a forearm. Cedrone answers back with a punch of his own. Matsuda returns with a harder punch. Cedrone returns one with an even harder one. With adrenaline pumping, they both stand up at the same time while simultaneously exchanging punches. Cedrone stops the exchange with a kick to the gut of Matsuda, but with Cedrone being right handed/legged, he planted his weight on his left knee which buckled. Matsuda takes this time to turn away from Cedrone and surprise him with a Pele kick! Stunned, Cedrone goes down to the mat. Matsuda gets up, clutching her ribs, and turns Cedrone’s body around so she can land a top rope move. Matsuda makes her way to the outside of the ring and onto the apron. She slowly makes her way to the top turnbuckle. She looks down at Cedrone, then out to the crowd, then back down at Cedrone before jumping and connecting with a beautiful and devastating Cloud 9!!!
She makes the cover as the fans count with the ref!!!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
THE FANS GO WILD WITH CHEERS!!!!

RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And here is your winner………and NEEEEWWWW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION…… ‘THE WAR QUEEN’ STEPHANIEEEEEEE MAAAAATSUUUUUUUUDAAAAAAAA!!!!
“Ooh La La” by Boogie blares over the pa system as the fans go completely wild! Monica and the Dynamic Duo come running into the ring to congratulate Stephanie Matsuda who’s sitting on her knees by Cedrone.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
She certainly lived up to that moniker here tonight Jacob!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Without question Foster! As much as I hate to admit it, I have to hand it to Cedrone. He gave it everything he had tonight, it just wasn’t enough to compare to what Matsuda had in store for him!
The referee retrieves the International Championship from Sona, folds the straps behind the center plate and presents it to Matsuda. She receives the Championship as she stands up, grabs it by a strap and holds it high above her head while the referee raises her other arm in declaration of victory! She brings the Championship back down and pats the centerplate, looks out to the crowd and thanks them for their support for her along this journey. While she climbs to the second turnbuckle in three of the four corners, Cedrone finally makes his move and has crawled to sit in the fourth one. Matsuda hops down from the turnbuckle in the opposite corner that Cedrone is sitting in, looks in Cedrone’s direction and sees him sitting there. The fans quiet down as she was heading in his direction but stops. Cedrone is trying his best to make it to his feet, even using the ropes, but can’t get there. Matsuda comes over to him and extends her hand. He reaches and they grasp each other’s hands as she helps Cedrone to his feet. The fans go wild again as the two shake hands and give each other a respectful embrace. After letting go of the embrace, Jonny grabs Matsuda by the wrist and puts it in the air in another sign of respect. Matsuda lifts the Championship high with her other hand. Cedrone limps towards the ropes that Gloria has open for him, but is stopped once again by Matsuda. They share another embrace before Matsuda asks Gloria if she could hold the ropes open for Cedrone. Gloria congratulates Matsuda for the victory and the two embrace before Gloria honors Matsuda’s wishes, gets off of the ropes and lets Matsuda hold the ropes open for Cedrone. He gingerly makes his exit then Matsuda goes to that final corner and jumps up to the second turnbuckle. She plays to the crowd but is taken aback by what she sees up the entrance way.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is this?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It’s not ‘what is this’ it’s ‘who is this’ and with all due respect to Stephanie Matsuda, this is the REAL International Champion Sah’ta Thor! And he’s here to let this International Champion know that you’re not THE International Champion unless you beat him!
The camera cuts to the top of the entrance ramp where we see Thor – who’s wearing his International Championship – standing there arrogantly, mockingly and sarcastically applauding Matsuda. The camera cuts back to Matsuda who’s yelling something towards Thor and pointing at her International Championship. Dystopia fades to black with a bit of a stand-off between two International Champions!

The camera opens backstage a suit of Samurai armor better known as Karuta. The suit is in a standing position, and the lights around it are dim, only an overhead down light shines on the armor to give a mystical obeisance. The distinct voice of Sunny Jim is heard speaking, but nothing can be seen but the armor.
SUNNY JIM
Shogun, the title of the military dictators of Japan during most of the period spanning from 1185 to 1868. Nominally appointed by the Emperor, shoguns were usually the de facto rulers of the country. Upon Japan's surrender after World War II, American Army General Douglas MacArthur became Japan's de facto ruler during the years of occupation. So great was his influence in Japan that he has been dubbed the Gaijin Shōgun.
World Wrestling Headquarters, Sanatorium, get ready to meet your soon to be Shogun.
The lights around the armor come on illuminating the scene. The Karuta dressed figure spins around and the mask is missing allowing to see that it is Mad Dog Mark Wright dressed in the armor and brandishing a Samurai sword.
MAD DOG
HEEEEEEYYYYY AAAAAHHHH!!!
Mad Dog swings the sword to the camera and the scene goes black.
This match was seen going back and forth with both competitors giving the fans their money's worth. It took 4 minutes and 40 seconds for the man who was known as "The King of Australia to hit his Ascension finisher on the beautiful brunette beauty Mercedes Vargas and get back on track with him winning the match.
WINNER: NICHOLAS KING
Before she can get ready to wrestle in the triple threat tag team match on the upcoming Dystopia show teaming up with her boyfriend/tag team partner, "Bad Ass" Blake Anderson, the woman who is known as "Lady Huntress" Belladonna Hunter was seen backstage and she was seen saying right into the nearest camera with a serious look seen seeping through her eyes.
LADY HUNTRESS | BELLADONNA HUNTER
I really need to do something to get me out of what I am feeling as of lately or else, I would absolutely break down and snap. I'm going to try to give it my all even if it kills me! I'll always be the underdog but I am really getting sick and tired of being that. I'm done talking.
Tears started to stream down her pretty face as she was seen leaving the camera's view as she held her head down. She put on her face mask and went to go talk last minute match plans with her boyfriend/tag team partner. Something had to give!
Lilith comes out as usual, but when it's time for Valentina to come out, she pops up on the screen instead. She proclaims that she's too good to be on the preshow, and isn't showing up. Instead, Nina Rabbit comes out and volunteers to fight Lilith. The two girls have a rousing fight, and at 4 minutes 45 seconds, a figure with a hoodie on comes in and interferes with both women and tries to break Nina's arm. She pushes the hood back and it's Valentina! Lilith helps Nina fight off Valentina, who slides out of the ring and leaves.

After everything settles down inside the arena, the fans hear “Judas” by Fozzy hitting the P.A System. That is when Chris Matthews comes out wearing a black leather jacket, black shirt, loose-fitting jeans, black sneakers, and black tinted shades on his face. He looks around the crowd and begins to walk down towards the ramp. He walks down them and climbs the steel steps. He walks along the side and enters the ring. He walks around the ring for a bit and grabs a mic as the music fades.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
Seems like there is a lot of talk about what’s going to happen tonight in this very ring. I have to say that there’s going to be a fight when Pandora and I take on that stupid cunt Belladonna Hunter, Blake Anderson, and the Tiger Towers.
He looks down at the ring and smiles a bit. He wasn’t sure what to think about all of this tonight. But he knows that he and Pandora are the favorite to win this. Pandora and Chris have always had the right chemistry unlike the others in the match.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
Tonight, the fight is going to be brought. Bella, she runs her mouth when she knows damn well that her ass can’t cash it. The match she had, was failure after failure after failure. Bella, you don’t know enough about this business to make yourself relevant. I’ve been in this place since the relaunch, and on top of that, I have 10 plus years of experience than you. You? You’re nothing more than the pile of crap I wiped off the bottom of my boots. You can talk all this trash you want about me, but you’re just another girl looking to make herself shine with relationships. You want to know the difference between you two and me and Pandora? We’re a couple that had a trial of complications that we completed. You? You lose a match, and you fucking drink because of it. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? HUH? Do you have a death wish?
He shakes his head slowly and groans in displeasure. He then silently said, “fucking cunt” without alerting anyone in the arena.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
I...I...I can’t with you honestly. Do you want to know what happens to people who talk trash about me in this company? Huh? They get their teeth knocked down their throats. You’re no different, Bella. So, go ahead and keep talking and we’ll see how far that goes.
He put his hand through his hair and swipes it back. He’s not a lie that he wants to hurt Hunter – but he also knows that he has to think about the other competitors in this match.
CHRIS MATTHEWS
But you want to know something else? I don’t care about you, Hunter. Blake, I want to know what is up with you, man? You have everything going for you, and yet you hang with that? With Hunter out of all people. Look, I can’t tell you who to hang with and who not to hang with. But you should understand that she's going to drag you down, man. She’s going to make sure you never get the chance to advance to something special. Now, I can’t deny that your great talent but you really go far, THEN DROP THE DEAD WEIGHT! But if you refuse to listen, then that is your problem.
Tiger Towers, you’re coming into this match with a wave of momentum and I see that. I see that better than anyone in this match. This match is something special and you two know it. But the problem is, that the force isn’t with you. The force is strong with Pandora and I. You know it, Bella and Blake know it, the fans, the staff, even the animals that somehow would watch this – which they probably won’t unless they are at home with their owners. Anyways, point is, that you four aren’t the type of people to get the job done tonight. Pandora and I are going to show the world that we’re the toughest team here in WWH. Tonight, the Triage Trilogy is going to be one step closer to the Tag Team titles.
He gets a smirk on his face as he drops the mic. “Judas” hits the P.A system as he gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp. He goes behind the curtain as the scene fades to a commercial.

The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred thirty one pounds, hailing from The Appalachian Mountains, he is MAD DOG MARK WRIGHT!
"Mad Dog" Mark Wright comes barreling through the entrance way. Chugging a can of beer. He stops at the top of the entrance way, and smashes the can on his head. Mad Dog throws the smashed can into the crowd and then pulls his jacket off throwing it down and runs down the entrance way and slides under the bottom rope into the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent...
As "You Will Know My Name" by Arch Enemy begins to hit over the sound system, the lights dim just enough to make it seem something ominous is coming. Then a video begins to show assassination victims, creature killings and the ilk when suddenly the clips stop when they reach a figure holding a sword. The figure then suddenly slashes the sword across the screen to cause it to static. Then the song picks up speed again, when out of the back comes "The Slayer" Charlotte Ross wearing a black sleeveless trench coat and on her back is her signature weapon; a Singapore Cane that has been hardened and enhanced to cause more pain and punishment. And she is flanked by her manager, Monica Mayhem who is armed with a wicked staff topped with a mastiff shaped ball on top.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
She weighs in at one hundred fifty pounds and hails from Richmonnd, Virginia.... THE SLAYER, CHARLOTTE ROSS!
Then as she reaches the end of the ramp, she pulls it out of the sheath and holds the Cane in the sky for a few moments and as her arm reaches the apex of her reach, fireworks like Jeff Hardy go off. Then as she puts it away, the fireworks die down and she proceeds to head to the ring. Fans attempt to interact with her but she just either stares them down or Monica bats their hands away. Then as she reaches the apron, she jumps on it and turns towards the crowd and holds her arms put like Raven for a few moments and streams of flames come out from the turnbuckles. Then she flips herself into the ring like Kane used to do when exiting the ring and promptly sits in the corner like Raven and awaits for the match to begin.

Charlotte Ross going into this match with a disadvantage in weight and size, but we've seen her make up for it with pure malice before.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Indeed, we'll find out if Mad Dog can match her ruthlessness or ply his size to overcome this challenge.
The bell rings and the competitors face off. Charlotte charges in with fists, hits the ropes, but Mad Dog follows her and clubbers her against the ropes, sending her to her face on the mat. Mad Dog barks to the crowd, goes to pick up Charlotte and gets a thumb to the eye. Charlotte hits him in the face and tries to whip him off, but he counters, sending her sliding under the bottom rope to the apron to catch her bearings. A heabdutt sends her to her butt on the apron, and Mad Dog joins her, but gets a hard right, staggering him back-- Charlotte tries to follow up with a hurricanrana but gets caught by a still too fresh Mad Dog, who catches her and slams her into the barricade.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Oh my god, a severe impact for Charlotte into that railing, this could be a big difference maker here!
Charlotte's knocked out for the moment as the referee counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Mad Dog catches his wind and grabs her and rolls her in, attempts the count.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout! Mad Dog grabs her in a bearhug, trying to wring the life out of Charlotte. Hard elbows to Mad Dog's head loosens his grip, though a couple big beals keeps Charlotte shaken. Mad Dog drops the leg and tries for another count.
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout again! Mad Dog picks up Charlotte by the hair, picking her up in a double chickenwing submission. Charlotte counters, roll through to a pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
Mad Dog's still too fresh. Charlotte leaps on Mad Dog's back, locking her legs around his shoulders and her arms around his face in what's almost like a modified camel clutch maneuver, but Mad Dog fights free enough to slam her backwards and try for a pin-- but Charlotte has her arm under the bottom rope!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Charlotte mounting a comeback to Mad Dog's overpowering offense with sheer cleverness!
Mad Dog picks her up again, looking for another Samoan Drop type slam, but Charlotte squirms free to her feet and rolls out of the ring to where her girls wait, and she can try to recover her bearings. She rolls back in the ring before the ref can count her out, catching Mad Dog off guard with hard gut shots, another rollup but a kick out before the ref can drop the hand. Mad Dog regains his feet fast and goes for an elbow drop on the prone Charlotte, but Charlotte rolls out of the way, leaving him to funnybone himself on the mat. Charlotte starts climbing up top but Mad Dog follows, looking for a superplex. Charlotte grabs on and starts to rally back with sharp elbow shots to the head-- sunset flip -- she can't quite get him out for a powerbomb but a quick back kick to Mad Dog's knee sets him up in a middle-rope tree of woe!
He tries to rise, but Charlotte jumps high and connects with a double stomp, grabbing Mad Dog's legs clear of the rope for a pin attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
THR--
Kickout! Both competitors are winded from the exchange.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Clever indeed with that counter when the instinctive usual powerbomb counter failed. The tide of this match is starting to turn.
Staggering back up to their feet, Mad Dog backs to a corner and Charlotte charges in, rapid fire knee strikes. She darts out with a running return, but Mad Dog gets the foot up for a big boot out of the corner.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Did you speak too soon?
Mad Dog rallies and approaches Charlotte, but she grabs him and rolls him up in the double arm crossface submission!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Maybe not!
He struggles towards the ropes, trying to wrench free-- Mad Dog lifts her attempting to turn her into position for the Pain In The Neck piledriver -- but Charlotte fights free and flips forward, dragging him over again to continue her hold! This time he's close enough to the ropes to break it! The referee has to count to four and three quarters to get Charlotte to release the hold, and Mad Dog's clambering up by the ropes.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I really thought Mad Dog had this match for the first half of it, but Charlotte's really got him in a state with that submission maneuver!
Charlotte approaches him again and--
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
WRIGHT WAY, OUTTA NOWHERE!
The ace crusher flattens Charlotte. He dives in for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
WINNER: MAD DOG MARK WRIGHT

NOAH HANSON
That would be correct, Foster. See, everyone is under a microscope these days.

"The Man" by Aloe Blacc begins to play over the PA and the crowd instantly begins to boo. As the words "I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man" play, a spot light shines on the entrance way revealing the Marvelous One. His back is to the crowd, and his arms are spread out wide revealing the rhinestones words "Simply Marvelous" on the back of the robe.
The Marvelous One spins around with a huge and cocky smile on his face. The light bounces off of his sequined and rhinestoned white ring rob, with purple and blue designs on it. The darkness is replaced with a soft purple glow, but the spotlight stays on The Mecca of Manhood.
The Marvelous One struts to the ring, walking slowly, taking his time and allowing everyone to view him. He climbs the ring stairs and instructs the referee to hold the ropes open for him.
The Ref holds the ropes open and the Marvelous One steps through and wins around in a 360 to the middle of the ring. He unties his robe, and removes it slowly, handing it to the referee.
The Marvelous One hits a front double bicep in the center of the spotlight as the music fades out.

This guy sure is full of himself.
The ref searches both competitors for illegal weapons and when he is satisfied he signals for the bell and the match is under way. Dakota comes right at Mason and delivers a series of elbow shots to the chest of her much taller and bigger foe. Mason seems to just be shrugging them off and then makes his chest muscles dance a little which seems to sort of entrance Dakota. She then delivers a kick to the gut and locks up with Mason, she tries to get some leverage but he pushes her and then shoves her hard to the mat. Dakota hits the mat and then sits there as Mason grinds his pelvis with his hands crossed behind his head. Dakota seems really flustered at the manliness of Mason. She ducks her head through the ropes and talks to Nina and then returns to the ring and goes to grab Mason but then ducks under and slaps the ass of Mason hard. Mason jumps at the impact and then turns around and smiles and nods his head.
NOAH HANSON

Dakota again locks up Mason and he simply overpowers her grabbing her hands and running them down his chiseled chest. She pulls them away quickly and then Mason simply blows her a kiss and winks at her. She runs at him but Mason ducks and on the return she nails an ass attack that staggers Mason she bounces off the ropes and tries for another but Mason simply catches her by the waist and then lets go but then puts her right in the Muscle Lock and after about thirty seconds Dakota passes out and Mason lets her down to the mat and then simply grinds over her as the ref signals for the bell and we have a submission win by passout.

What I’m going to need right now is for all you Wake Island whack offs to shut your mouths when the Marvelous One is speaking.
The crowd begins to boo even more intensely.
MARVELOUS | MIKE MASON
All of you California Cuckolds shut your mouths when The Mecca of Manhood is talking.
The boos intensify, but Mason ignores them and continues talking.
MARVELOUS | MIKE MASON
I just showed all you obese slobs what a real man can do, but now I’m calling out the king of obese slobs, the buffet beast himself, Demetrius Lane. You call yourself Godzilla, but it should be Dad-Bodzilla, you think you’re the king of monsters, but you know you can’t handle this monster muscle.
Mason hits a front double bicep and the crowd comes alive with boos once more. Mason smirks as he soaks in the boos.
MARVELOUS | MIKE MASON
Demetrius, the truth is you couldn’t pin my shoulders to the mat if your life depended on it. You beat Giant Tiger, but you know damn right that one on one, man to dad-bod, beast to obese, that you wouldn’t stand a chance against the Mecca of Manhood. So, Demetrius I am calling you out, and while I know you have a gut, do you have GUTS enough to face me one on one?
"Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult hits over the PA and the crowd begins to cheer, some from being a fan or Lane, and some because they simply hate Mason. Demetrius Lane comes out to the top of the entrance way holding a microphone.
GODZILLA | DEMETRIUS LANE [/color]
Mikey, baby. Don't think I ever forgot about you! Nah nah nah. You can feel it in this arena tonight! The fans want to see Mike Mason step up to Godzilla. There's no doubt about our unfinished business. Yeah, I've got a big opportunity in front of me tonight against Thor & Zolton. Yeah, I've got my eyes on the prize and being the first black man to win The Shogun Tournament. But you my friend. You've only merely escaped the grasp of the King temporarily. But no worries my man.

Out of nowhere Becca “The Beast” Wildeline smashes a chair into the back of Demetrius Lane. Lane stumbles forward, but doesn’t go down. Lane is bent over trying to get his bearings when Wildeline lifts the chair over her head and smashes it down across the back of Lane, which drops him to the ground. Wildeline lifts the chair up once more and slams it down across Lane's back as he lays on the ground.
Mason laughs on the microphone as he exits the ring and walks up the ramp to stand over Demetrius and stand side by side with Wildeline.
MARVELOUS | MIKE MASON
Demetrius, let me introduce you to the only woman in the WWH worthy of standing beside the Marvelous One. This is Becca “The Beast” Wildeline. And now that the beast has put you down, the beauty will put you out.
That is right, world, you are looking at the newest tag team in World Wrestling Headquarters, and the team that will rid Dystopia of this hideous monster known as Demetrius Lane, and we will become the most dominant force in the WWH, because we are Beauty and the Beast.
Demetris starts to move and Mason and Wildeline begin to stomp him as security runs out to break up the vicious assault.
The scene is seen taking place inside of a ring with 4 chairs. Suddenly, a tall slender built man is seen getting ready to interview some people. He says into the nearby camera.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Hello Dystopia, welcome to a new episode of Ace TV! My guests at this time is The Revolutionaries themselves! Renee Jonae, Vincent Lyons Jr and his sister, MY beautiful wife, Victoria!!
Ace goes and say to the trio with a warm smile on his face.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Welcome to Ace TV!!
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
Merci Ace. I've had the pleasure of forging a partnership with the Lyons, and both have treated me well, so it's very nice to meet some of the extended family and making my Ace TV debut all at the same time! It's no surprise Victoria chooses her men well, this is a lovely program you have going on.
Renee blows a kiss to the excited crowd and looks towards the twins. Vincent takes in a warm reaction from the fans, before speaking into his mic.
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
Thank you for allowing us this time to speak, really nice setup you got here Ace.
After Vincent is done, Victoria takes in her own reaction before giving her response.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Good to be back on the show. Hopefully nobody thinks there's some nepotism going on, this being my second time on your show.
She smiles and laughs, giving her husband a wink.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
My first question is, how did you three decide to form The Revolutionaries?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
Well I consider myself a person who keeps her finger on the pulse of things, some people never prepare and don't even react to crises, but not me. I'm drawn to brand management and I dabble in spiritual connections, so I have sharp senses when it comes to understanding what's going on with people at large. I noticed many omens on the horizon that made it quite obvious WWH would be faced with brutality and tyranny, and Vincent, who I've always considered a rival to keep an eye on, often expressed interest in speaking to me when he and Victoria would speak of getting companions in the wars they also predicted would come. I'm not shy and time was of the essence, so I reached out to make them know I liked the sound of what they had to say and we should put it into action, so we could stop the forces threatening to rule this company before it's too late. Right, Vincent?
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
It’s been a rough year for everyone, and to help give the WWH fans something a little brighter to take their minds off this wild year we’ve had is the least we can do. Havoc seems to be building himself an army with his Ashes of the Wake, and the only way to fight an army, is to rise up and create your own.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I think my two cohorts said it well enough, we won’t stand for tyranny or any sort of injustice. The fans don’t deserve it, and we all have enough to deal with, we don’t need Ashes of the Wake ruining everyone's fun as well. Havoc has become too powerful, and if he isn’t stopped soon, I don’t know what that could mean for the future of WWH.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Great to hear!! What do you three want to say to the Ashes of the Wake, the stable that has Nikki Caldwell and Havoc in it?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
They should know, this far from over, after everything Havoc has done in this business to get ahead we won't stop until the entire Ashes of the Wake get what's coming to them. Using a chair to beat me won't get rid of me, it only made me more determined and cognizant that they're already desperate. They're already losing members despite pretending they'd die for one another, Nikki should know no one can trust Havoc, she's just drawn to his dark charisma of leadership somehow. I know I have said this before, but since I have heard Zolton brag he is the only one to bring Havoc to a draw, I must repeat that I've actually defeated Havoc, one two three, in a WWH ring, and I know he isn't as invincible as everyone believes.
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
Just know, Havoc, that this is far from over between us. I earned myself a chance to regain my championship and I won’t let it slip this time. I won’t stop until I get gold around my waist once more, and taking it from you is the cherry on top.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
They both have yet to see what The Lyoness will bring to the table, but I promise I am just as vicious as my brother. No more sidelines. My family is the most important thing in my life, and I will die for them if I have to, and when I say family I don’t just mean my brother, I mean Renee as well, that girl over there is a fighter through and through, and I am honored to share a sisterhood with her.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Wonderful! What does the future hold for you three?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
I have a lot in the works. Facing Cloud to regain the Women's World Championship. Our battle with Ashes of the Wake. The Shogun tournament. It's all exciting, and I can't wait to see what Victoria can do in the ring, if it's anything like Vincent she'll be extraordinary competition. It's lovely to be welcomed into this family, but I also have a family of my own. My fiance was recently inducted into a hall of fame in Japan, right before he was struck down by Havoc and another branch of his cult, if anyone thinks that doesn't drive me when it comes to Ashes of the Wake and proving myself in Japan, they have their image of me deeply wrong. I have lots to do, but I'll manage!
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
As I previously stated, my immediate goal is of course to regain my Affliction Championship. I didn’t quite get the big title shot and that was my own fault. But to take back what he took from me a little over a year ago would be a great blow to their momentum. Then I can toss the scraps to Zolton and see what he does with them.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Well, Ace... I am seeking to become this year's Shogun. I know You and Renee both have entered and that’s great! But if it comes down to us having to face each other, whatever happens between the bells is all business. Even if you’re my husband, or one of my best friends, between the ropes if you are my opponent, that’s what you are. I’m sure you both understand, and if it’s not me who wins Shogun, I do hope one of you takes the crown.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Thank you three for being on Ace TV!!
THE FAY NOIRE | RENEE JONAE
It was a pleasure, thank you.
THE YOUNG LYON | VINCENT LYONS JR
Thank you Ace, it’s been an honor.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Thanks for having me again.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS

This should be an interesting match. Striker has been up and down while Kaine has a lot of potential.
Both men are warned about weapons as Striker hands his noose to the ref and then the ref walks over and hands the noose to a ring attendant and then signals for the bell. Striker looks over at his tag partner and they both nod and then Striker meets Kaine in the middle of the ring and Striker with a slap to the face and then a another which seems to have caught the youngster off guard and Striker just beats Kaine down to the mat and grinds his elbow into the face of the young star. Kaine tries to cover up from the ground and pound of Striker with little success. Striker with an elbow lock and floats over and twists at the elbow more putting it in an painful position. He releases the move and then drives an elbow into the top of the head of Kaine and then applies a rear chinlock and just basically makes Kaine take all his weight.
NOAH HANSON

Striker yells at the ref to check on Kaine and ask if he gives up, to which Kaine responds with a middle finger. Striker loosens up the move but leaps up and drives a knee into the back of Kaine. Kaine screams in pain. Striker rolls him over and makes a cover....
ONE!
KICKOUT!
Striker pulls Kaine up to his feet and sends Kaine into the ropes Kaine on the return ducks under a clothesline attempt and then on the return nails a textbook dropkick right on the jaw. Striker bounces into the ropes but on the return levels Kaine with a running lariat that just turns Kaine inside out. Striker pulls Kaine to his feet and lifts him up for a high angle powerbomb and just folds up Kaine like an old lawn chair.

Kaine is slowly getting to his feet, using the ropes to pull himself and Striker seeing this runs at Kaine trying to take his head off with a running boot to the head but Kaine ducks and Striker's leg/lower region straddle the top rope and Kaine does the only thing he can and kicks the top rope as hard as he can. Striker screams in pain and Kaine finally has an opening. Kaine uses the ropes and uses them to nail a Shining Wizard that nearly takes the head of Striker off and he slumps and falls into the ring. Kaine leaps over the top rope and then leaps right back over and drops a leg across the chest of Striker and then climbs to the top. He looks to the fans as Striker makes his way to his feet and Kaine leaps off nailing a missile dropkick.

He goes to pull Striker up but Striker with a thumb right to the throat causing Kaine to stumble backwards gasping for air. Striker comes and peppers the gut of Kaine with a series of kicks and then a spinning back fist. Striker grabs Kaine and sends him into the ropes but Kaine slides under the ropes and baseball slides Minami into the barricade and then climbs back on the apron and when Striker tries to grab him he ducks and nails a couple of shoulder charges into the gut of Striker causing him to stumble back. Kaine leaps onto the top rope and nails the Sandstorm (springboard clothesline) and then scrambles and makes a cover...

Kaine showcasing his speed and agility in that series but the lighter weight might have been what kept him from keeping Striker down.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Exactly what I was thinking!
Kaine looks a little frustrated as he pulls Striker to his feet but Striker grabs the back of Kaine' head and drops down, nailing a jawbreaker. Striker seems just to be in as much pain as Kaine as he grabs the top of his head in pain but he grabs Kaine and lifts him up for the Apocalypse (Emerald Flowsion) but he staggers after getting him up which gives Kaine a second he needs to pepper Strikers' kidney and then Kaine moves slightly and is able to transition to a victory roll...

Following the Kaine vs Striker match we cut back to a secluded part of the water park where we find Sah'ta Thor pacing with his 2016 WWH International Championship over his right shoulders. As he paces he his hand keeps rubbing at the surface of the belt.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
They say that history is written by the victors in any war. Yet, that isn't always the case. There are times where history is purged from existence. Times when the powers that be want you to forget what came before.
His hand drops from the belt on his shoulder to let the fans see it in its unobstructed glory.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Such is the case here inside the WWH. Years ago Adrian Hart decided to do away with the official records for all the Showdown and HellsGate Titles. Yet, we know that some were merged into the Dystopian and Sanatorium linages. You can look at the current title histories to see the ones I refer to. Yet, others had their histories vanish in the aether as if they hadn't even existed. Which to be fair was Adrian's way. A way I experienced first hand when he fired me after I had some personal issues come up.
Sah'ta Thor's hand comes back up to caress the polished metal on his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Later tonight, in the main event will have Johnny Cedrone face off against Stephanie Matsuda for the so called WWH International Championship. A belt that has only existed since Grindhouse 2019, which occurred on June 30, 2019. I have spent some time looking through the WWH Network to better understand things as they are now. In doing so I found out something interesting. It seems that the Utopia Championship was the result of merging two other WWH Championships. Imperium Champion "The Italian Sensation" Martina Vespucci vs High Stakes Championship, Brian Boru. I did some digging and I am not even sure how Boru got the High Stakes title but his name isn't even in the official title history. Now we can look to the current title histories to see the outcome of the Grindhouse 2019 title unification match. .
With a sigh Sah'ta Thor pauses and looks straight at the camera with a look of confusion for a moment.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Yet, where is the record of either the High Stakes or Imperium Championships in the official records? That is right they don't exist from what I can see. Though they won't probably won't be that hard to piece together since they both came into existence after the company rebranding. In fact, it seems they were titles on the now defunct Imperium brand, which only exists in the WWH Network archives. Yet even as interesting as that is I digress. Johnny Cedrone is only the third person to ever hold the Utopia Championship. Though the records list him as the fourth which could be where the missing High Stakes and Imperium Championship legacies are. Yet, as I have already shown the records are not complete given that Brian Boru isn't listed in there as he was the one who defended the High Stakes title in the unification, not Caleb Foster. [/font]
The pacing picks back up as Sah'ta Thor returns to his point.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Good Ole Johnny won the belt a couple months back at DreamState. Yet, he wasn't content with being known as the Utopia Champion. No, on the June 14th edition of Dystopia he came out and started calling himself the International Champion. That is right folks you can go back and look at the footage on the WWH Network. Ever since then Cedrone has been parading around calling himself the WWH International Champion and from what I can tell the management is buying into it.
Thor shakes his head slightly as he licks his lips while tracing the outline of the nameplate on the title that rested his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
However, I get the fact that DreamState was around the time that Adrian vanished and the WWH changed ownership. So I can forgive the lack of complete title records. What I can't forgive is the people in this company who have stood by and let this destruction of history happen. People like Chris Matthews and Pandora Bennett who were here when I last was. Or people like Noah Hanson or Caleb Foster who like me have held the WWH International Championship or the HellFire Title it was later merged with. There are others who share the blame for sitting by and allowing Cedrone to make a mockery of the legacy the belt on my shoulder represents.
Sah'ta Thor turns and looks right into the camera as he lifts the title belt off his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE| SAH'TA THOR
Whoever wins the main event tonight may have the right to officially be called the champion, with all the glory and bonuses that entails, but until they face me the belt they carry is merely a trinket. A pretty bauble that has less history than my ring gear. Until either Matsuda or Cedrone face a real International Champion all they will be carrying is still just the renamed Utopia Championship. I know full well that I lost the real WWH International Championship in a match in the center of the ring. Yet, unlike the champions who came after me I am willing to do what it takes to restore this forgotten history to its proper place.
With that Sah'ta Thor walks off towards where the ring area was as he had a match later in the night. As he walks off it cuts back to the ring for the triple threat tag team match.
Noah is still hanging around and well with the next match there is an obvious vested interest. The lights go out and the start of "Eye of the Tiger" plays and a spotlight is shown. Dark Tiger, Giant Tiger and their ladies come to the spotlight.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen making their way to the ring being accompanied to the ring by Latrice DeNucci and Gabriella Kealoha, at a total combined weight of six hundred ninety two pounds. Giant Tiger, Dark Tiger, the TIGER TOWERS!!!!
NOAH HANSON
The two big men face a tough opposition to the two smaller teams tonight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah neither team has the size to deal with these guys.
“Pain” blares as Blake Anderson and Belladonna Hunter make their way to the ring....
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making their way to the with their manager the Co-Gm of Dystopia Paul Sinclair this is Blake Anderson and Belladonna Hunter!!!
The couple make their way to the ring Blake stops in front of the announce table and starts jawing with Noah. Noah smiles and never moves from his chair and just shakes his head. Sinclair finally gets Anderson to get into the ring.
NOAH HANSON
See the man can't focus on the task at hand and that is the match right in front of him.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It has been a while since Blake has wrestled so this might be a good chance for him to get ring ready for you. But what about you Noah?
NOAH HANSON
What about me?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Are you ready for the match that you'll have with Blake?
NOAH HANSON
You bet, next question...
As Noah continues to scribble in his notepad... The camera pans around Dystopia and we hear cheering from the crowd. They are chanting “FOR THE GLORY”. That is when “For the Glory” by All Good things hit the P.A system. The fans start to cheer as the song continued to play. The lights begin to strobe a mixture of orange, blue, white, and purple.
♪ Better back down, you're in my domain
Got the whole crowd screaming out our name
It's a blowout, it's a hurricane
It's over before you know it ♪
That is when Travis Levitt comes out and moves to the left, he’s wearing Black tights with flames on each hip, Black knee pads, Black boots, black elbow pads, and a black trench coat. Chris is seen coming out wearing a loose leather jacket, black wrestling tights with silver on it, black wrestling knee pads, and black and silver boots. He then moves to the right. Finally, Pandora is seen coming out wearing a misfit crop top, black shorts, fishnets, black boots, and a black hoodie. She moves to the middle as they all stare at the crowd who continue to say, “For the glory”.
♪ Why you shaking, we're a dynasty

RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
On their way to the ring right now, they are Pandora Barrett, Travis Levitt, and Chris Matthews...THEY ARE TRIAGE TRILOGY!!
♪ Take a swing, I can take a hit
If we die it's fine, we live for this
It's all for this ♪
That is when they begin to walk off the stage and down the ramp. Pandora is ahead of them as Chris and Travis are behind her. We see signs of their names around the arena.
TRAVIS, MY FIRE BURNS FOR YOU!
I SCREAM FOR THE SCREAM QUEEN!
I STOLE THIS SIGN! SIGN IT CHRIS!
THE SCREAM QUEEN AND THE KING!
TRAVIS, I’M PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD!
♪ We're gonna stand on top with our hands in the sky
Gonna raise our cup to the stadium lights
For the glory (For the glory)
For the glory (For the glory) ♪
They all eventually get to the ringside. Pandora walks towards the steel steps and gets into the middle. She puts her feet on the bottom rope and that is when Chris and Travis climb the side and look at the crowd who is amazed by these three. Pandora then throws the hood of her hoodie back and screams loud.
♪ We celebrate with the city tonight
Hear the hometown cheer, it's the ultimate high
For the glory (For the glory)
We do it for the glory (For the glory) ♪
They all three then enter the ring and Travis and Chris head over to the opposite corners and climb them. All while Pandora is still on the ground and leaning against the ropes with her stomach. Just then Chris, Travis, and Pandora all take off their tops and put them on the outside. Chris and Travis get down, they all head over to the corner and prepare for their match.
As everyone is getting their instructions by the ref Blake is staring a hole through Noah, who is simply sitting there smirking so evilly like a super villain. The bells rings and suddenly everyone just starts brawling Matthews and Anderson weirdly work together and go right after the Tigers. Giant Tiger uses a biel toss to launch Blake across the ring but Matthews with a chop block that takes the big man off his feet and down to a knee, Matthews with a step up shining wizard and the big man slumps to the mat. Meanwhile Blake is back up and he goes right after Dark Tiger and clotheslines him over the top rope and to the floor and then looks over at Noah and flips him off. Noah simply shakes his head but Blake doesn't see Pandora right behind him and she takes his head off with a superkick and then Pandora is tackled to the ground by Belladonna and she mounts Pandora and starts laying the fists to Pandora.
NOAH HANSON
Is it weird to get turned on by that?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not in my book...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Weirdos....
NOAH HANSON
The freaks are the ones that act all innocent...
The ref is trying to get the match under control but the wrestlers are having none of it as Blake and Matthews double clothesline Dark Tiger who had just got back into the ring right back outside. But when the two turn they are met with a vicious running double clothesline from Giant Tiger. Matthews and Anderson are down and Barrett and Hunter both try to attack the much larger Tiger and he simply grabs Belladonna and lifts her up and puts her outside the ring but Pandora with a low blow and Hunter gets back in and the two chicks nail a double dropkick that send Giant Tiger through the ropes and to the floor. Anderson and Matthews are back up and the respective girls run at their partners and they are both launched out and onto the two Tigers. The ref is looking like Adam Sandler's character Paul Krewe in the 'Longest Yard' during the first practice when the team brawls just throws his hands up and calls the match to be thrown out. He goes outside and talks with ring announcer Sona Raylee as security is now being called in to break up the fighters.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The referee has informed me that the match has been declared a no contest for failing to listen to the referee's instructions. A NO CONTEST!
NOAH HANSON
Leave it to the teams to shit the bed...
Noah is shown scribbling in his notepad again.
NOAH HANSON
I think I have a way to fix this...not tonight but soon...

Let’s head to the back where I understand that Faith Wilde is standing by with the International Champion, Jonny Cedrone and his beautiful wife Gloria!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Ya know Foster, Miss Gloria is the only good thing about Jonny Cedrone.
The camera cuts to the back where Faith Wilde is standing, looking into the camera with microphone in hand and a huge beautiful smile on her face. Jonny Cedrone, dressed in his ring gear and has the International Championship draped over his right shoulder, is standing on Faith’s right side (camera left). Gloria, dressed in a sparkling black dressed, is standing on Faith’s left side (camera right).
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Thank you Caleb and Jacob! You’re right! I have the distinct honor and privilege to be standing here with the International Champion, Jonny Cedrone and his lovely manager and wife, Gloria! Jonny, Gloria, thank you so much for your time here tonight!
Jonny and Gloria both respond with smiles.
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
It’s a pleasure Ms. Wilde.
GLORIA
Any time!
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
If you don’t mind Jonny, I’d like to start this interview with Gloria. Would that be okay?
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Sure!
Gloria sports a bit of a confused look on her face.
GLORIA
Moi?!
Faith and Gloria share a giggle before Faith begins the interview.
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
I’ve been watching you for some time Miss Gloria and I have to say that you always bring the level of class and professionalism to the highest it can get. You’re among the most stunning women that this business has to offer.
GLORIA
Oh Faith, flattery will get you everywhere my dear!
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Tonight, Jonny’s International Championship will be on the line for the first time, will you be at ringside for the match?
GLORIA
Of course! I’m here to support my husband and wouldn’t miss this for the world!
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
I’m sorry, but I have to ask – Is there a chance that you might get involved in the match?
Gloria and Jonny both look at Faith with surprised expressions.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Whoa!! And Faith Wilde with the hard-hitting questions here tonight Foster!
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
I’m…I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to insinuate anything. It’s just that the last time you were at ringside, you got involved in the match. I was wondering if tonight will be a repeat of that night?
GLORIA
You say that you have been watching me for a long time, but I guess you happened to miss that part of the match where Pandora got involved first? Faith, I’m not just Jonny’s manager. I happen to also be his wife! We’ve been together through thick and thin for the past thirteen years! I love him and he loves me – with all of our hearts! We support one another! We protect each other! We defend one another! We’re there for one another in ALL aspects of life my dear! I saw that Jonny was fighting unfair odds at the time so I decided - against my usual acts - to act, get involved and even up the odds a little bit. So to answer your question, I will not –nor do I ever – go out of my way to get involved in this or any match. I promise one thing though, if anyone gets involved on Ms. Matsuda's behalf, I will once again do what I have to do to protect my man.
Faith now turns her attention to Jonny.
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Ms. Wilde, I feel that your concerns about whether Gloria will get involved in the match are unwarranted. I feel that anyone’s concerns about any outside interference during this match is unwarranted because I think that Ms. Matsuda is a standup kind of competitor! While I know that Ms. Matsuda is the kind of warrior that will do whatever it takes to get the win, I don’t think that includes outside interference. She strikes me as the kind of person that will take everything that she has into the battlefield and leave every bit of it out there. If she wins, she wins. If she loses, she loses. Despite the outcome, she knows that she won it on her own or she knows what she needs to work on to get the win the next time.
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
This is your first title defense Jonny, are you nervous? Even in the slightest?
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Ms. Wilde, I’ve been a Champion before. I’ve been a Champion multiple times, and it doesn’t matter how many times you hold a Championship, every defense is a bit nerve-racking! You fight so hard to win that Championship, to become Champion, and every first defense can make you feel one of two ways. It can make you feel that all of the hard work that you put into winning the Championship was for nothing or it can make you feel that all of that hard work was worth every effort! You lose – You question yourself. You win – It was worth every bit of it! The feeling and the fear of the unknown is always worse when your first title defense is against a competitor like Ms. Matsuda.
She earned the position that she’s sitting in right now. She was in the tournament to crown the number one contender and fought hard to win it.
Jonny turns his attention towards the camera
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Ms. Matsuda, I don’t know if there is a whole lot left to say honestly. We both know that I have the utmost respect for you and your abilities in the ring. I’ve been looking forward to this night for such a long time. Whether I retain this prestigious Championship or I lose it here tonight, I think I’m more excited about the opportunity to get in the ring with you and put on one helluva match for the fans! You are one of the greatest athletes this sport has ever seen Ms. Matsuda, there’s no doubt about it! You have the skills, the abilities, the mindset, the heart, the drive…everything it takes to win this match and win this Championship here tonight. The thing of it is – so do I.
Ya see, where you’ve been through Hell with Renee Jonae and you’ve fought hard to get this opportunity, I’ve been through Hell with Jacoby Spencer, the man that I fought so hard to get this Championship. We took each other to limits that neither of us knew that we had. Tonight, you and I will do the exact same thing. You’re currently and proudly holding the WWH Women’s Championship, but you’re looking for more. You’re looking to add to that collection by taking the International Championship here tonight. I admire your moxie and I respect your ambitions, but tonight Ms. Matsuda, you and I will clash like two titans! Planets will align! Fault lines everywhere will open! The earth will quake! Volcanoes everywhere will erupt! Pandemonium everywhere! When the two of us meet in that ring tonight Ms. Matsuda, It’s going to be cataclysmic! But when all of the dust settles and the smoke clears, there can only be one winner. I’m sorry to inform you that it’s not in your destiny to win the International Championship – not tonight anyway – because tonight I’m keeping this Championship exactly where it belongs, wrapped around my waist. I do wish you the best of luck though Ms. Matsuda!
Jonny and Gloria go to walk off but Faith doesn’t seem to be done. Jonny looks down at the floor while listening to what Faith Wilde has to say.
INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Before you go Jonny, I do have one more subject to discuss if you don’t mind. Sah’ta Thor made his return to the World Wrestling Headquarters two weeks ago on Dystopia and he had some thoughts about you and the International Championship. He claims that he’s the only one who has the right to call himself the International Champion, even going as far as revealing that he still has the International Championship that he had from years gone by.
Jonny looks back into Faith’s eyes
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
You can stop right there Ms. Wilde. I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time talking about this subject because I take care of my issues one at a time. Tonight my focus is on Ms. Matsuda. On the other side of this clash, I can put as much focus on Thor as I possibly can. I will say this though…
Jonny looks into the camera, takes the International Championship off of his shoulder and holds it proudly into the camera
THE KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
...Thor, I don’t know how long you’ve been gone, but as you can see, there’s a new International Champion in town. You can try to say that this Championship isn’t the real deal or that this Championship doesn’t count or that I’m an imposter. Your thoughts, your feelings…you’re entitled to them. But what you can’t do is besmirch the passion, the dedication and the heart that was forged into this Championship! This Championship represents everything that’s good in wrestling, everything that’s good in the world and everything that’s good in people! This is the People’s Championship and I will defend this Championship as if my life depends on it – if for nothing else – for that reason alone. I do what I do, I go to that ring and I do what I do for the fans, for the people because that’s who I’m here for and that’s who I represent! Tonight, I defend this Championship in their honor, I defend this Championship in the name of the people against the great Stephanie Matsuda. But Thor, if you want a shot at this Championship, if you want a Championship for Championship match to show the world just who the real International Champion truly is…then I have no problem with that. Until then though, get in line.
Ms. Matsuda, I promise, you’ll have my undivided attention!
Jonny and Gloria walk off camera as Faith Wilde throws it back to ringside
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What focus being shown by the International Champion!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I do believe that Thor is in his brain Foster! We just might see a title change tonight!!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Wishful thinking?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Maybe a little, but when somebody else has you as flustered as Thor does Cedrone, you can’t possibly give the task at hand the proper attention. And when you have someone as talented as Stephanie Matsuda across the ring from you, wanting your Championship, you HAVE to give her the proper attention or she’s going to take full advantage of it!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Definitely something to think about.
The scene is seen taking place inside of a ring with 3 chairs. Suddenly, a tall slender build man is seen getting ready to interview some people. He says into the nearby camera.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Hello Dystopia, welcome to a new episode of Ace TV! My guests at this time are the Ashes of The Wake: Nikki Caldwell, Jada Blaire and Havoc!!
Ace goes and says to the trio with a warm smile on his face.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Welcome to Ace TV!!
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
I’ll start it off, if that’s okay with you. What’s this supposed to be, Ace? Some sort of a set up to get us here, while your wife hatches a plan to catch us by surprise? Can I expect you to be professional then? Cause that’s what is missing with the world isn’t it? True professionals. People who value their position. Not a bunch of phonies that only reach a certain level in their life through corruption and nepotism. But what would you know about that, right Ace? I see through your fake smiles and your terrible sense of courtesy-- You just want us to look bad to the people so that the incompetent Revolutionaries could look better in comparison. Did your wife set you out for the task, Ace? How’s she doing by the way? I am surprised she hasn’t left her doofus brother by himself like everybody else he ever aligned with. The Pride is dead and born from it are the Revolutionaries! But that’s a mere projection of how Vincent truly feels. The man touted to be the next big thing-- Now, just a regular old member of the roster.
JADA BLAIRE
Oh, we have all had enough of Vincent and his sister. The number one contendership won’t go any different for him. But Renee-- That’s who we are interested in. Why would somebody of immense talent, dumb herself down to the levels of the ‘Prideless’ Vincent Lyons Jr. As for the welcome-- Save it. We know better. Get to the questions and be done with it. We have a world to change-- Examples to set! Lifes to save! And a lot to learn from each other Ain’t that right, Nikki?
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Seriously. I know I'm relatively new to Dystopia still, but one thing you need to know about me is I'm not a talker, I'm a doer. Sometimes a person has to articulate in words to make their point clearer though, so let's get this show on the road so we can get back to the important things!
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Uhh… Okay. Well, my first question is, how did you three decide to form the Ashes of The Wake?
JADA BLAIRE
Well, correction! It wasn’t the three of us that brought the Ashes to life. Simply put, it was the manifestation of Havoc’s will. He had a vision a LONG time ago after seeing the state of the world that we live in. Corruption at every door. People hungry with power, trying to bring the rest of the world down to feed their own egos. The big corporations fuel the death of their own people to facilitate their personal growth. It’s a travesty, to begin with.And after YEARS AND YEARS of suffering that Havoc had to endure at the hands of the people he trusted-- He simply had enough. Christopher Sabertooth was no more and Havoc was born from the Ashes. That’s what the world needs. It needs to be brought down to reality-- It needs to burn in hell! And only then can the Ashes become the manifestation of the New World to be. That’s what we do. That’s who we are.
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
I have always had an open mind to who I let in to the secrets of this world. I believe in forgiveness. I believe in second chances. Heck, I wouldn’t be here if I never got one. Along the several continents that I have traveled, I have met countless people who would LOVE to be a part of our movement. And I let them in! That’s our ideals. We believe that a person can change. Heck, even Vincent might be a decent wrestler some day. You never know! We had to let go of some people due to reasons unknown-- or rather out of necessity. But as people go, new ones make their way in. They familiarize themselves to the movement. They realize what they’re getting into. We are just the messengers! We are only the harbingers of reality! People who join us, decide their own destiny. Everybody has a story-- Everybody has been failed by the system. And deep down, they wished it could be different. We don’t procrastinate about the what ifs… We take action. We flip the script upon the people of power and let it act out from that point forward. And yet, we are labeled as terrorists. As unwanted. As rebels. As MONSTERS! All that we are, is mistaken. So, that was why we made the Ashes into a reality. For people like Nikki to join us and fight for the cause. She has her own reasons to have answered the call that fateful day. She saw something in us. That is for her to tell.
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
It's right there in what you and Jada said. The world needs to be brought into reality. And if you look around you, the way the world's kinda going to hell? That's reality. That's what the world has always been, the candy coating is just starting to fall off, which is a step forward because you can't change what you've never truly seen. Truth is, anything in this world you want, you're going to have to fight for. It's the warriors that make this world into what it is and what it will be, not the meek and accepting. I found someone likeminded in Havoc-- I want to inspire people to stand up for what they want and their rights. I want them to find something of their own to achieve, and help them get there! Of course anyone who wants the titles me and Havoc hold will have to rise up to our challenge and our level, that's how we got them in the first place.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Great to hear!! What do you three want to say to the Revolutionaries, the stable that has Renee Jonae, my brother in law Vincent Lyons Jr and his sister/my beautiful wife Victoria?
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Well, you see, I try not to make flash judgments on people, something I learned from my brother V. But the Revolutionaries certainly haven't given me the same in return. Every time I turn around I'm being accused of being some dumb follower of Havoc who can't see she's going to get turned on. As if two rational intelligent adults can't form a team-- I believe there's a whole division of wrestling based on that premise, Ace. And just because I let him take the lead most times doesn't mean I'm following, it means I know him well enough to know that most times I agree with his impression of something, and in wrestling, that's just less time to waste. There's no reason for him to turn on me because there's no reason for jealousy between us. Frankly, I think the Revolutionaries are projecting their own issues onto us and it's going to bite them in the ass when they fail to take us down and start trying to scapegoat the blame on each other!
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
What do I think about the Revolutionaries? They call themselves that while we are the ones leading from the front lines. We are the ones trying to bring a change upon this world. We are the ones trying to save the people that have been wronged to as far as their memory goes. What are they doing? What are their motives? I’ll tell you EXACTLY what it is. Their ONLY goal as a collective is to put an end to us. So calling themselves Revolutionaries is as convoluted as protesting a protest. It DOES happen-- But is it the right thing? Your ‘beautiful’ wife must have sanctioned you to gather our opinions on their collective unit-- As if I would ever waste my time and energy on somebody like Vincent or Victoria. They have been old news ever since I stepped foot in this company and that won’t be changing because of one simple match. Nikki was part of it too. Am I upset with the result? I won’t lie to you-- I wanted Nikki to be the one to face me for the WWH World Championship because Vincent and Zolton have gotten PLENTY of opportunities against me and they have failed at every step of the way. And yet they find themselves with ANOTHER chance and I am supposed to be overjoyed with emotion, is it? Why the fuck would I care about people that I have beaten countless amount of times-- to the point that I don’t remember the last time they were worth a damn. Now, clinging on to somebody far more talented than himself is a great strategy for Vincent and I can imagine why Renee seemed like the perfect option! After all, she holds a pinfall victory over me. Something MOST people in this company can’t say. I know how good Renee is and I would have HOPED that Vincent wouldn’t have gotten through the thick skull of hers and convinced her to be part of something as mediocre as the bloody Revolutionaries.
JADA BLAIRE
We get it! It’s cool to stand up against the almighty Ashes. Plenty have tried, all over the world. They want to put an end to the dominance that we command. And guess what they all have in common? They all failed! Your wife is destined for failure! I mean, not that surprising considering the man she chose to marry. But hey! You wouldn’t DARE say anything to us, would you? Praise us, Ace! Tell us how good we really are. Look at ALL the gold that is around us and tell us WHY anybody stands a sliver of a chance to dent the armor of the Ashes? You won’t be able to. So, what else do you want to know?
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS
Wonderful! What does the future hold for the three of you?
THE AMAZON | NIKKI CALDWELL
Anything we want it to be.
THE NIGHTMARE KING | HAVOC
Future? That’s the wrong question, Ace! What does the ASHES hold for the future of this company-- Now, that’s more up to tune. The future is now, Ace. The future is the absolute destruction of everybody who has ever wronged us. The future is the death of the Revolutionaries. WE are the Revolution. The Ashes of the Wake will decide the fate of WWH and the rest of the world to follow. And when your goals are set that high, you don’t trip over little bumps on the road like the Revolutionaries. We leap over them and look forward. That’s what we do-- That’s what we bring to the table. So for anybody watching at home, desperately trying to skip over the nonsense spewed by this cardboard plank for an interviewer-- do pay attention to this. You TOO can be a part of the movement. You TOO can make history. All you have to do is take my hand and let me in! And I promise you… YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE!... Is that good enough for you, Ace? Is your wife happy now? Now, get back to your little cubbyhole.
THE ACE OF WWH | ACE MICHAELS

Liberal use of ascending camera angles help to accentuate the incredible size of the competitor entering the hippodrome of hiptosses.

But all in all, using the unique set of skills that have been afforded to Demetrius "Godzilla" Lane. He leaps onto the apron, and glides through the ropes with ease, wagging his finger towards the camera and at home viewing audience with that ever present grin of supreme faith in his own abilities.

You can see the limping of Godzilla as he makes his way to the ring for this one. After that vicious assault orchestrated by Beauty and the Beast earlier tonight. You have to believe his chances of coming out on top for this one are slim to none.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not entirely true, Jacob. It’s a triple threat match. If he was smart, he’d like Zolton and Thor do most of the work to each other. Take every opportunity to rest, and make sure to take advantage of every loophole presented to him until the deed is done!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first. Weighing in at 290lbs. He hails from Monster Island. He is Demetrius “Godzilla” Lane!
"Let it Die" by Ozzy Osbourne echoes through the arena's speaker system as the lights dim. A few seconds pass before an almost demonic looking Sah'ta Thor. He is dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt with a golden pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins with the words Sin Incarnate in white. After a moment of standing at the top of the ramp He starts towards the ring with a purposeful stride. Getting to the ring he looks at his foe for the night with a look that promises impending. After a moment he pulls off his shirt revealing his scarred toned muscular upper body. He turns and starts pacing in the ring as he awaits his opponents much like a caged animal as he waits for the starting bell.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The prodigal son returns to World Wrestling Headquarters. Sah’ta Thor feels, as many of his detractors, that he has a lot to prove coming back tonight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He wants to make the statement that he is the real International Champion. Being that he’s getting followed up by Johnny Cedrone later tonight, he has every opportunity to make that case right now.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent. Weighing in at 225lbs. He hails from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the “True International Champion”, “The Demon King” Sah’ta Thor!
The arena darkens as the "F8" by Five Finger Death Punch plays. The peak of the song is reached and the arena begins to flash almost as though an electrical surge flows through the arena. "F8" bleeds into "Rise Cover" by State of MINE and a blue spot light shines on the stage as it is covered with smoke/mist. A moment passes and into the spotlight stands Zolton facing away from the ring. His head lowered, hair silhouetting his face. The chorus flows from "Rise Cover" and he turns and walks down the ramp way. Ignoring the crowd up against the entrance ramp. Mist covers the ring now as he climbs the steps and enters the ring as it fills with blue lighting. He leans in his assigned corner after removing his long leather trench coat. The music fades out as the arena lights rise into normalcy.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And here he is, Zolton! I tell you what folks, the fans may be conflicted. As Zolton isn’t the kind of guy to go around kissing babies and hugging your grandmother for a photo op. But with the amount of carnage the Ashes of the Wake have been causing in recent weeks, you gotta believe they want to see Zolton take down Havoc!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He’s got a real tall order to fill before he can get to the champ, however. But as we saw last Dystopia, if anyone’s king of the triple threat match, it’s Zolton. I love to watch this man work!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And the challenger. Weighing in at 265lbs. He hails from Yakima, Washington. He is the #1 Contender to the WWH World Heavyweight Championship...Zolton!
DING DING DING
The match begins with no wasted motion. Many would find it a surprising start, as it was Zolton who found himself beset on all sides with either Sah’ta Thor or Demetrius Lane at his flanks. Zolton fights back fiercely raining down forearm blows over the backs of his attackers, as Thor Lane pummeled his midsection and chopped away at the six-foot-seven superstar. Eventually Demetrius is able to take down his charge with a snapmare takeover followed by a stiff kick to the lower back of the world title contender. Sah’ta Thor observes this action with his hands on his hips and shakes his head. He approaches the rookie Godzilla and holds up a finger. Just as Zolton was rising back to a seated position, Thor fires off a stiff kick of his own. Zolton writhes on the mat in pain from this dual assault. As Demetrius nods his head in approval before trying to set up Zolton for yet another kick in this strange show of one-upmanship from his opponents. However, it is Zolton who is tired of being a veritable kicking bag, as he smoothly encircles the ankle of Lane and drop toe holds him onto the mat, sending the monster crashing face first into the canvas. Zolton pushes the hair out of the front of his face as he growls menacingly in the direction of Thor screaming “Come on, try me!”
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A little bit of camaraderie going on between Thor and Lane going after Zolton! You’d think it’d go the other way, with the two veterans wanting to take down the rookie.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And you’d be wrong every time, Steele! Zolton is the #1 Contender for the World Title. He’s the most dangerous man in that match right now. Especially for two hungry hosses looking to make a name for themselves!
Sah’ta meets his challenger in kind, stepping up and blasting Zolton with a stiff forearm strike across the jaw. Zolton seems very fired up from his earlier embarrassment, and counters with a headbutt of his own. Thor staggers back a little from this but develops a wry smile on his face from the unorthodox offense of this fighter. He catches Zolton flush with a spinning backfist. This rears Z’s head back from the unexpected strike, but he spins around, catching Sah’ta arm in the rotation and LEVELS him with a pull in lariat that might as well have taken Thor’s head off! Godzilla taps Zolton on the shoulder to get himself back in the fray, but Zolton’s experience with last Dystopia’s triple threat encounter prepared him for this, taking no prisoners as he catches the King of the Monsters with The Titan Crushing Spinning Roundhouse Kick! Demetrius does the only wise thing he can in the face of such offense as he rolls out of the ring to shake the cobwebs off.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Holy toledo! Ladies and gentlemen this is just more proof that Zolton has been playing on another level than everyone else, Caleb. He’s unstoppable!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
They awoke the proverbial giant with their double team earlier. Now they are paying the price. I’m glad to see Demetrius taking my advice and taking the low road to recovery before that got bad and quick!
Zolton definitely looks fired up. Ready to try and end this match in as decisive a manner if possible. But he doesn’t account for the ingenuity and craftiness of his more seasoned opponent, and pays for his dearly. When he turns his attention away from Demetrius, there is Thor with a springboard basement dropkick to the knee that sends Zolton crashing to the mat! He struggles to return to his feet as his devastating left knee folds under his weight once more before he gets to a kneeling position. Which Thor continues to take advantage of with two chops to the throat. Followed by a roundhouse kick to the head, and finishing off by pulling Zolton’s hair in the back of his head to force him to look The Immortal in the eyes as he delivers a heart punch to Zolton...Sah’ta Combo! Demetrius Lane returns to the ring and lays in some heavy knife edge chops to Thor with a mongolian chop for flavor. But Sah’ta is able to weather this storm as well, pivoting around the back of his opponent and in an impressive feat of strength, lifts the Juggernaut into an Olympic Slam! Thor scoots his body over into the upper right hand corner, his lips tracing over his fangs as he surveys which one of the big men are going to make it to their feet first to meet his next flurry of offense.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And THAT’S why they call him the Raging Storm, folks! Sah’ta Thor is finding his stride, really impressive showing thus far from the disputed International Champion!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Thor is used to fighting from underneath due to his size. But once you get him in a dominant position, it gets downright scary. You never know what he’s gonna do! Can you believe that nobody has been able to even find the breathing room to score even a nearfall thus far?
Unfortunately for Thor, it turns out that both goliaths arise at the same time. Zolton favoring his chest, Demetrius his lower back, still searing from the steel chair assault from Mike Mason & The Beast earlier in the night. But both with eyes on the crafty veteran competitor. Thor doesn’t wait around like prey waiting to be devoured, he leaps against both fighters and unloads with strike after strike. Chops here, forearms there, high kicks low kicks you name it, he’s showing that he has stamina to last with the best of them. Unfortunately for him it’s not enough to keep both giants stunned, as Demetrius knocks him over with a shoulder block. Thor returns to his feet, but is immediately taken down by Zolton with a standing big boot. Zolton takes a few moments to admire his work as that seems to do a better job at keeping Thor off his feet. But he turns around and is scooped up by Lane into a definitive powerslam! Although it’s difficult with the lower back pain, Demetrius pulls himself back up and runs against the ropes. He crushes the world championship contender under his considerable girth with a front flip senton he calls Big In Japan!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Unbelievable! What a series of offensive moves from these competitors! They’re truly giving it their all and putting on a clinic!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It sounds cliche but nobody wants to lose! There’s so much riding on this match. Shogun momentum. International Championship ramifications. WORLD title ramifications. And we’ve still got more to come tonight folks! It doesn’t get any better than WWH!
Sah’ta Thor gets involved yet again, stopping even the thought of the rookie going for a pinfall in this contest. He slaps Demetrius over the sternum and starts raining down punches across the flanks of Godzilla. Thor’s adrenaline and bloodlust kick in as he starts viciously biting at the forehead of Lane, to which the referee tries to admonish the Immortal but it’s not technically illegal in a triple threat contest. Zolton comes to and self polices the situation, He grabs a hold of Thor and cracks him across the back with a massive clubbing blow that sends Sah’ta to his knees. Zolton lets out another battle cry before reaching down and folding up Sah’ta into his signature Crucifix Powerbomb Pin, Welcome To The Gates! He kneels over his pretzel-like victim for the pin. But Demetrius is right there shoulder blocking Zolton off of Thor! There is a short, sloppy scramble as both men paw at the ropes or the referee to get back to a dominant position. Zolton is there first. He goes for a slightly uncharacteristic bicycle kick to the head of Godzilla, and that unfortunate innovation is his undoing, as Godzilla unleashes a desperation Destroy. All. Monsters Spinebuster! Lane rolls over with a deep hook of the leg and the referee finally gets to get into position for a pinfall! Thor is still stunned from Welcome to the Gates and unable to interfere!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
DING DING DING!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s all it takes sometimes is three, flipping seconds! Just look at these guys. Zolton is already getting back to his feet! And Thor! And Lane! They might just keep going at it for the fun of it!
Godzilla reels back from the decision that seems to shock even him that it somehow worked out. Zolton also rises quickly but definitely holding his ribs in pain, frustrated that the wind was knocked out of him for just a fraction of a second too long to kick out. Thor finally begins to come to as well, with all three competitors staring at one another as if this could’ve gone for several minutes more under different circumstances. Zolton leaves first, frustrated with the loss. Sah’ta follows shortly after, slamming a fist to the mat for his own inability to stop the finish.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I tell you what folks, that’s an upset no matter which way you shake it. Godzilla’s going into Shogun with ALL the momentum. While Thor and Zolton are going back to ther respective drawing boards to figure out how to recover!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
At the end of the day, Thor still holds his International Championship in spite of Cedrone’s current claim to the throne. Zolton is still the #1 Contender for Havoc’s World Title. And all three of those men look like they could’ve went for a half hour longer or more! This isn’t going to be the last we’ve seen of any combination of these incredible competitors.
The King of the Monsters is left alone to bask in his victory, eyes still bulging in a mixture of disbelief and elation. Somehow beating back the odds of the assault from Mike Mason, as well as earning the victory against two very game opponents. We head to the final set of segments before the main event to follow.
Backstage.
The camera opens to “The War Queen” Stephanie “Cloud” Matsuda sitting backstage with her students and the WWH Tag Team Champions - Dynamic Duo. Serenity Scorpio and Jocelyn Sky are dressed in their civilian clothes while Matsuda was in her attire, The women’s champion seemed lost in thought as Jocelyn and Serenity are talking among themselves. Serenity turns to Stephanie and places a hand on her shoulder.

Serenity and Jocelyn nod as they walk away. Stephanie is still in her own head as Monica stands before her.
MONICA VAUGHAN

Jonny, who’s sporting the International Championship proudly clasped around his waist, is wearing his usual maroon and gold ring gear. He stands at the top of the stage looking out over the fans for a moment with a bit of a grin. Gloria, still dressed in that sparkling black dress that you saw her in earlier, stands next to Jonny with a smile on her face and points in his direction – almost like a gameshow valet.

Jonny and Gloria take each other by the hand as they walk down the aisle. They slap some of the outstretched hands along the way. Once they reach the ring, Jonny holds Gloria’s hand as she climbs the steps. Once she reaches the top, she walks along the apron to halfway in between two of the corners. Jonny then makes his way up the steps and walks the apron towards Gloria. Jonny stands on the bottom rope and lifts up on the middle rope to allow Gloria to slink her way into the ring much to the lustful delight of some of the fans!

The fans erupt in cheers once again as Jonny unstraps the International Championship and holds it high above his head for the fans to see! Both competitors meet the ref in the middle of the ring to receive their final instructions before the bell rings to start the match. Jonny hands the ref the Championship as the ref continues with his instructions. Once he’s finished talking, he holds the Championship with the straps folded neatly behind the centerplate with the centerplate up so both competitors can give it a respectful tap. Once they do, they go back to their respective corners while the ref holds the Championship up high for everyone to see.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER

If Matsuda wins it here tonight Foster, then I can say that it has some prestige. As it stands right now, I just don’t know how much prestige it has. I mean you have a Champion who seems to not have respect for his opponents. Just a couple of weeks ago, he was pulling on his opponent’s hair and the time before that, he was giving low-blows. How can you respect a competitor like that Foster?!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
To steal an old line, ‘you can cut the electricity in the air with a knife’ Jacob!
Cedrone and Matsuda go to meet in the middle of the ring once again for a collar-elbow but Matsuda takes a shot at Cedrone’s left knee. Cedrone tries to avoid it but Matsuda’s too quick!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A true student of the game! She knows that he has a bad wheel and the size advantage so she’s taking it to the bad wheel! Smart move on Matsuda!
Cedrone limps away from her and tries to walk it off. Once again the two competitors circle. Once again they go to meet in the middle of the ring and once again Matsuda kicks him in the bad leg! She put some mustard on that one. Jonny limps away before Matsuda gets the chance to take advantage of her work. Jonny takes a little more time to walk it off this time before they circle one another once again. They go to meet in the middle of the ring once more and Matsuda goes to kick the leg once more but Cedrone catches the leg. Matsuda lets him think that he has control for a brief moment before giving the targeted leg a dropkick with her free leg! Half of the crowd cheers as Cedrone falls to the mat! Matsuda is quick to her feet to take advantage!
She starts stomping away on Cedrone’s bad knee while the other half of the crowd boos. She picks up his left foot and hits the back of his knee with her own knee multiple times. She then starts giving the leg elbow drops. Finally getting enough of the attack, Cedrone starts kicking away from her but she’s relentless and continues to try to attack it. They tussle until Jonny makes it to the ropes so the ref can break up the action. Showing respect and to the fans’ delight, Matsuda backs away so Cedrone can try to make it to his feet. Everyone gives a respectful applause. Jonny makes it to his feet, tries to walk off the injury but Matsuda is quick to try to attack it once again with a single-leg takedown but Jonny blocks the move. He tries to pick her up in either a gutwrench suplex or powerbomb, but when Cedrone gets Matsuda up and on his shoulder, she slides down the back, lands on her feet, turns quickly and chop blocks him. Cedrone crumples to his knees, Matsuda runs off the ropes, bounces off and dropkicks Cedrone dead in his face causing him to fall back, hyperextending his knee.
All of the fans are involved in this match, half trying to get behind Matsuda, the other half trying to will Cedrone into fighting back from this early advantage. Matsuda climbs to the top turnbuckle closest to her. Once she gains her balance atop of the turnbuckle, she jumps off and lands a cannonball senton! She’s quick to go for the cover….
ONE!
TWO!
Cedrone kicks out!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
You’re going to have to do more than that to get a win over the International Champion!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Just wait…she will.
Cedrone rolls out of the ring to get some distance between himself and Matsuda and also to give himself some time to rehab that knee. He limps his way from the side of the ring that he exited to the next side over and has found himself in front of the entrance way. He bends over and slaps his leg to try to get some blood circulating in the knee once again, not paying attention to what’s going on in the ring. Gloria rushes over to try to console Cedrone. Matsuda has taken off towards the opposite side of the ring, bounces off the ropes, runs towards the ropes near Cedrone, jumps when she gets close enough and lands a perfect Tope con Hilo!! Gloria just narrowly escapes the scene of the crime. The fans go wild at the sight of the move and the fact that she’s quick to get back to her feet. With adrenaline pumping, she slaps the hands of some of the fans at ringside, plays to the crowd then gets back into the ring, waiting for her spot. The ref starts to count Cedrone out as he tries to muster up enough energy and strength to get back to his feet. As the ref reaches the count of 6, Cedrone is to his knees. At the count of 8, Matsuda stops the ref from counting anymore. While Matsuda and the ref have a few words with one another, Jonny groggily makes it to his feet, but is unable to put any weight on his left leg and falls back against the barricade. Matsuda sees the situation, once again runs across the ring, bounces off the ropes, runs towards Cedrone again, jumps over the top rope with another attempt at a Tope con Hilo but this time Jonny stands upright and catches her. She tries to turn it into a hurricanrana but Jonny blocks that as well. Fighting through the pain, Jonny lifts up Matsuda’s upper torso and rams her back into the ringpost. Both competitors fall to the arena floor. Gloria rushes to Cedrone and Monica rushes to Matsuda.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
As we all suspected, both competitors aren’t showing any signs of quitting just yet.
The ref is counting as both competitors try to make it to their feet. Gloria and Monica disperse to their respective corners. Jonny makes it to his feet first and is favoring his left knee pretty heavily. Matsuda has made it to her knees, grasping at her back. Jonny takes Matsuda by the head and slides her into the ring. He follows her in and using the ropes to help himself back up to his feet, Jonny sets Matsuda up in a sitting position in the middle of the ring. Jonny gives Matsuda a good kick to the back before limping towards a corner. After a brief moment, he runs as fast as he possibly can with the bad wheel and hits her with a rolling neck snap. The fans start to get behind Cedrone as the momentum seems to be swaying in his favor. He gingerly gets back up to his feet as Matsuda writhes on the mat favoring her neck. Cedrone limps over to Matsuda, picks her up but slams her back down to the ground with a side Russian leg sweep! He decides to take this opportunity to go for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
Matsuda kicks out before the ref gets the chance to come down for the 3rd slap of the mat. Cedrone doesn’t waste time as he gets back to his feet, picking up Matsuda by the head along the way. He hooks her up and snaps her back down to the mat with a quick suplex. Cedrone floats over for the pin, catching Matsuda and the ref off guard.
ONE!

Matsuda kicks out at two-and-a-half!

Cedrone again gets to his feet before Matsuda does. He bends over and picks her up by the head but is quick to hit her with a facebuster into his knee. Cedrone locks in a headlock on the challenger. After fighting for what seems like forever, the fans get behind Matsuda as she finally makes her way to her feet. She punches Jonny a few times in the ribs, then sends him towards the ropes. He bounces off and knocks her down with the shoulder tackle. He runs to the ropes again, bounces off, Matsuda rolls over onto her stomach. Cedrone jumps over her bouncing off the ropes on the other side of the ring. Matsuda jumps up for a leapfrog but Cedrone catches her and drives her down with a devastating spine buster! The fans are split with cheers and gasps as Cedrone goes for the cover again.
ONE!
TWO!
The ref gets to two-and-three quarters but Matsuda kicks out again. Cedrone is showing a little bit of frustration now as he wonders what he has to do to put her away. As Cedrone gets up, he picks Matsuda up too, but much to his and the fans’ surprise, Matsuda locks in the rolling knee bar!! Both Gloria and Monica are slapping the apron in support of their respective competitor. Half of the crowd is cheering Matsuda and the other half is trying to get behind Cedrone!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
With Cedrone’s knee being as hurt as it is, I don’t think I can disagree, Jacob! This could be it!!!
The agony is apparent on Cedrone’s face as he’s writhing in pain in this hold! Matsuda’s face has a grimace of intensity as she’s giving that move everything she has!! But after what seems like hours, in what’s really just a few minutes, Cedrone has fought his way to the closest set of ropes to break the hold! Matsuda can’t believe it as she asks the ref if he was sure that Cedrone didn’t tap. Cedrone lies on the mat, holding his knee which is screaming in pain now. Matsuda makes it to her knees, thinking about her next attack. She goes on the offense, runs towards the ropes and hits Cedrone with a springboard moonsault. Not feeling that that was enough, she runs to the ropes again, bounces off and hits him with the Blasian Sunrise! She attempts a cover now…
ONE!
TWO!
Two-and-a half! As she’s facing away from Cedrone, Matsuda climbs to the top turnbuckle closest to him. She slowly stands up to get her balance, jumps off and connects with a beautifully executed corkscrew moonsault! Again she covers!
ONE!
TWO!
Two-and-three quarters! Now she’s frustrated. Matsuda makes her way to the outside of the ring and onto the ring apron, holding onto the top rope, poised to set something up. She waits on Cedrone who’s trying to make his way to his feet. He’s slow to get there, but he finally makes it there. Once he stands upright, Matsuda jumps up, bounces off of the top rope and connects with a Final Heaven!!

Not letting that deter her, Matsuda is quick to get to her feet. She creates some distance between she and Cedrone and waits on him to stand up once again. After a long wait, she’s finally able to execute whatever move she’s planning on doing as Cedrone has finally and groggily made it to his feet. Matsuda has him measured up for Yahtzee! but Cedrone ducks, spins Matsuda around and hits her with a Royal Flush! Once again the fans are split between both competitors!

How could this possibly be happening Foster?!
Cedrone, dealing with too much pain with his knee, wasn’t able to pack as much punch in that clothesline as he usually does and he’s not able to capitalize on the maneuver. Both warriors are laid out with Monica and Gloria slapping the apron once again, trying to will their competitors back into the match.
FANS
This is Awesome!!! This is Awesome!!! This is Awesome!!!
The referee starts counting both competitors down. The fans all start rising to their feet. Matsuda and Cedrone both start stirring at the count of five and have both reached their knees at seven. Matsuda hits Cedrone with a forearm. Cedrone answers back with a punch of his own. Matsuda returns with a harder punch. Cedrone returns one with an even harder one. With adrenaline pumping, they both stand up at the same time while simultaneously exchanging punches. Cedrone stops the exchange with a kick to the gut of Matsuda, but with Cedrone being right handed/legged, he planted his weight on his left knee which buckled. Matsuda takes this time to turn away from Cedrone and surprise him with a Pele kick! Stunned, Cedrone goes down to the mat. Matsuda gets up, clutching her ribs, and turns Cedrone’s body around so she can land a top rope move. Matsuda makes her way to the outside of the ring and onto the apron. She slowly makes her way to the top turnbuckle. She looks down at Cedrone, then out to the crowd, then back down at Cedrone before jumping and connecting with a beautiful and devastating Cloud 9!!!
She makes the cover as the fans count with the ref!!!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
THE FANS GO WILD WITH CHEERS!!!!

“Ooh La La” by Boogie blares over the pa system as the fans go completely wild! Monica and the Dynamic Duo come running into the ring to congratulate Stephanie Matsuda who’s sitting on her knees by Cedrone.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
She certainly lived up to that moniker here tonight Jacob!

Without question Foster! As much as I hate to admit it, I have to hand it to Cedrone. He gave it everything he had tonight, it just wasn’t enough to compare to what Matsuda had in store for him!
The referee retrieves the International Championship from Sona, folds the straps behind the center plate and presents it to Matsuda. She receives the Championship as she stands up, grabs it by a strap and holds it high above her head while the referee raises her other arm in declaration of victory! She brings the Championship back down and pats the centerplate, looks out to the crowd and thanks them for their support for her along this journey. While she climbs to the second turnbuckle in three of the four corners, Cedrone finally makes his move and has crawled to sit in the fourth one. Matsuda hops down from the turnbuckle in the opposite corner that Cedrone is sitting in, looks in Cedrone’s direction and sees him sitting there. The fans quiet down as she was heading in his direction but stops. Cedrone is trying his best to make it to his feet, even using the ropes, but can’t get there. Matsuda comes over to him and extends her hand. He reaches and they grasp each other’s hands as she helps Cedrone to his feet. The fans go wild again as the two shake hands and give each other a respectful embrace. After letting go of the embrace, Jonny grabs Matsuda by the wrist and puts it in the air in another sign of respect. Matsuda lifts the Championship high with her other hand. Cedrone limps towards the ropes that Gloria has open for him, but is stopped once again by Matsuda. They share another embrace before Matsuda asks Gloria if she could hold the ropes open for Cedrone. Gloria congratulates Matsuda for the victory and the two embrace before Gloria honors Matsuda’s wishes, gets off of the ropes and lets Matsuda hold the ropes open for Cedrone. He gingerly makes his exit then Matsuda goes to that final corner and jumps up to the second turnbuckle. She plays to the crowd but is taken aback by what she sees up the entrance way.

What is this?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It’s not ‘what is this’ it’s ‘who is this’ and with all due respect to Stephanie Matsuda, this is the REAL International Champion Sah’ta Thor! And he’s here to let this International Champion know that you’re not THE International Champion unless you beat him!
The camera cuts to the top of the entrance ramp where we see Thor – who’s wearing his International Championship – standing there arrogantly, mockingly and sarcastically applauding Matsuda. The camera cuts back to Matsuda who’s yelling something towards Thor and pointing at her International Championship. Dystopia fades to black with a bit of a stand-off between two International Champions!
