We open on Legoland's parking garage, a big black Dodge Ram comes speeding through the frame to the talent parking area and screeches to a halt in one of the open parking spots. Thankfully, there seems to be no wandering talent this time for the truck to nearly collide with.as the engine turns off and the Shogun entrant representing Germany jumps out of his truck. Josh Kaine clearly isn’t running late this time, as he exhales loudly and grabs his gear bag from the bed. He looks around, amused as he slings his bag over his shoulder and begins to take the quickest way up to the locker rooms.
The camera follows him as he opens the door to the stairwell, only to be met with an incredibly accurate superkick! We are lost in the commotion as he is knocked down only to the Banshee, Maggie McIntyre in the doorway and behind her is none other than Sanatorium Shogun entrant for the Navajo Nation, Levi Tsingine.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
You didn’t think I forgot about you almost running me over, did you?
Josh coughs from his place on the ground, quickly realizing what the hell just hit him and who she is accompanied by. Levi says nothing, he just crosses his arms over his chest, letting his companion speak her piece.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Shiiiiiiiit...
Josh half laughs as he pushes himself up to a sitting position, holding his hands up in an effort to show he’s not going to retaliate.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Nah, I didn’t think you forgot--but in all fairness, it was a real asshole move on my part not to apologize sooner than right now. You mind if I get up?
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
That’s not an apology.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
No, it ain’t--so lemme just say right now, Ms Banshee...I’m real sorry I was a prick and almost hit ya with my truck before. It ain’t your fault you ain’t tall enough to see over the hood.
Behind her, Levi raises an eyebrow, amused at the shorter man’s response. Maggie steps forward, holding out a hand to help him up. Josh looks at it dubiously, but sighs and accepts the help.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Don’t have to be tall to be accurate, Josh Kaine, and you don’t have to be tall to be quick. It’s almost funny how easily you can fall into someone else’s trap, isn’t it, Mr. Hunter? One second you’re a hunter walking to get ready to fight your prey and then you open your eyes to realize you’re just someone else’s game. You’re lucky I only wanted an apology and not your head.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
You a hunter too, Miss Maggie McIntyre?
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Nah, I’m a Banshee. He’s the hunter.
She motions back to her companion and the imposing silhouette Levi Tsingine forms in that massive wolfskin coat in the doorway.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Ain’t a Banshee the fairy spirit that howls to signify someone’s doom?
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Something like that. You afraid I’m gonna bring your doom, Josh Kaine?
He chuckles, dusting some of the soot from the floor of the garage off the side of his jeans and shakes his head.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Naw, Miss Maggie, but I wouldn’t complain too much if you went a-wailin’ outside another dark fairy’s doorway. Someone’s gotta tell Renee Jonae what I got in store for her tonight.
His response brings a mischievous grin to the Banshee’s face and she steps back, glancing quickly up to Levi who merely nods.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
I’ll see what I can do, Josh Kaine...but you’re gonna owe me one.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Long as you ain’t wantin’ some sorta blood sacrifice, I think I can probably help ya out.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Nah, not blood. Not this time. You better get going, Hunter. Your match is comin’ up sooner than you think!
Josh doesn’t get a chance to respond before Maggie and Levi move back, allowing the door to close behind them. He moves to twist and pull the handle...only to find that the door won’t budge. It is barred from the other side, preventing him from taking the easiest route up to the locker rooms.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Shiiiiiiiit…
Josh kicks at the door, huffing before he moves to find another exit out of the parking garage and up to the locker rooms so he can prepare for his match as the camera cuts to our opening package!
We come out of the video opening for the show and Latoya Hixx is already in the ring. Co-GM Noah Hanson is at ringside once again with his notebook and looks to be irritated already....
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Representing Switzerland this is Latoya Hixx...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Well let me check my notes, did she improve any over the last show? Nope. Did she do any work to improve her worth within the company.? Nope...Great just another rinse and repeat match featuring Hixx....and she probably doesn't even know where to find Switzerland on a map...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A little salty already there chief....
Noah turns and glares at Steele who turns away quickly...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Smart move there partner. Well, Hixx didn't fare too well in the last show as she was defeated by Demetrius Lane and now faces Sah'ta Thor....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Thor really? I mean Fenrir was bad enough now we have someone that actually has Thor in their name.....whatever...
"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 the bell much like a caged animal as he waits for the starting bell.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And her opponent representing Norway in the Shogun tournament this is Sah'ta THHHHHHOOOORRR!!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
See I really don't know much about this guy, was before my time here in WWH but he the dude has been impressive so far.
He flips through his notepad and scribbles something down.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
very impressive actually.
The bell rings and Hixx again seems hesitant to go on the attack but Thor has no such problem and goes right after Hixx pummeling her face with a series of lefts and rights and then a series of knees to the gut that doubles over the sultry brunette. Thor continues on the attack pushing Hixx into a corner and then driving another knee into the gut and then whips her into the corner. Thor charges in but Hixx hops onto the top turnbuckle floats over and sunset flips Thor and has a pin...
ONE!
Kickout...
Thor is up before Hixx and runs right through her with a vicious running clothesline that just destroys Hixx...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Well gotta say I love the can do attitude of Hixx but just showing and doing the SAME thing over and over again just won't always cut it you have to bring your very best against some of the talent here or in any company for that matter.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Being a little hard on her Noah?
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Nope just the truth...
Thor looks to be thinking about ending this because well it just looks that way on his face as Hixx drags herself to her feet, ducking a charging Thor but Thor stops dead in his tracks and nails a spinning backfist to the back of the head of Hixx who staggers and then Thor with a savate kick to the side of Hixx's head that causes her to fall to the mat in a heap. Thor pulls Hixx up by the hair but Hixx with an inside cradle....
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Spunk she has spunk I gotta give her that...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah she does have that going for her....
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
But that will only get you so far....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Good point...
Hixx doesn't even get a chance to get to her feet as Thor is already up and nails a running knee right to the face of Hixx who slumps to the mat. Thor walks over the body of Hixx as she rolls over to try and get to her feet but he simply curbstomps her face into the mat and then straddles her back, grabs each arm and crosses them in front of her and then leans back like a straight jacket camel clutch. Hixx quickly submits and Thor drops her body to the mat as the ref raises his hand in the air.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And the winner of the match by submission Sah'ta THOOOOOORRRR!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Like I said the man is impressive....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Hixx has a lot of work to do...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Seems to be that way...
As we come back from break we see Noah Hanson in the ring. He is holding his notebook and is flanked by two men in suits one is of slender build but muscular and the other is massive almost tanklike in appearance. Noah raises his mic to his mouth.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Now since I have all your attention I have a few things that need to be addressed and this is just a good a time as any.
Noah flips a page over in his notebook....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Over the last few months we have been graced, graced I guess by the return of Sah'ta Thor. Ok now, I have been here a bit and I don't know much about Mr. Thor, but I have had to do some research. And well according to WWH historians, he was the International Champ the last time he was here, though my sources can find no history of that in the books of WWH. So Thor is carrying around this other International title, and seems to be under this illusion that just because he has a title from the past that it somehow makes him have some sorta claim to the belt now. Well let me make this perfectly clear, this is not Sanatorium, the inmates DO NOT run MY asylum, and while he might have a title and he might think he has a claim to the International title, he DOES NOT. Now one thing I think Mr. Thor needs to concern himself with is the Shogun tournament, I think you need to focus on that, you're doing great, really showing me a lot, and maybe I can help you out in the future if you do want to challenge for the title. But see I keep saying BUT. See there is one little hiccup, a little bump in your road to the International title and what you desire. His name is Jonny Cedrone, and he actually has a rematch in his clause as being the former champion in this current run. So while I can appreciate Mr. Thor's enthusiasm and desire to get back what he once held, Cedrone gets his chance first, then after Shogun we will re-visit this situation. Oh, and Mt. Thor, if you want to discuss this at some point, feel free to come see me in my luxury box....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Noah is busy tonight sitting in with us, looking over the talent and dealing with drama...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well that is what he was hired to do...
Noah flips a page over on his notebook....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Now I watched the last show and I listened to every little bit of bitching and complaining by our beloved World and Affliction Champion Christopher Sabertooth....oh I know he calls himself Havoc, I know he has aligned himself with Nikki Caldwell, but you know what, he will ALWAYS Sabertooth. He can try his best but he always knows one thing, he is doing everything he has done AFTER I already did them. So Chris, Havoc, whatever you wanna call yerself, know this: you keep calling out the management and I can guarantee you one thing. You will have to deal with the consequences... and this is one of them. You wanna run yer mouth, you wanna call out the management. I was more than ready to let you have the night off to let all the dust settle and let you ready for the challenges to your belts. But you know what, I had an idea, and now you get to see that you no longer have the night off, and you and your little gal pal or whatever she is Queen Maeve, you are gonna team up and you will be competing against....
Noah looks down at his notebook and smiles...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Jacob Striker and Minami....
The fans pop loudly....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
See, normally that might be enough, but you know what, not tonight, as you will also be facing the former tag team champions The Dynamic Duo.....
Noah closes his notebook.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Now mark my words, and this goes to each and every member of the Dystopia roster, I am NOT Paul Sinclair, I am NOT a mouthpiece, you wanna challenge me, you wanna run your mouth. That dog don't hunt...and just in case you think you might wanna come at me in numbers...
Noah looks at the two men standing next to him....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
These boys are hungry to show you what they can do...oh and speaking of Sinclair and Blake, I can't believe I almost forgot about this....
Noah does a crazy look as he reopens his notebook...and then holds up a finger as he flips through the pages.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Next show we are going to have a contract signing for our big match....
“Killin In The Name of” by Rage Against The Machine blares as Noah and his two men exit the ring....
The camera opens backstage to the interview area where Starr Robinson is standing with a microphone. She is looking glamorous in a form fitting dress and a big smile.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | STARR ROBINSON
Ladies and gentleman, my special guest at this time is Becca, “The Beast”…
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
No, no, no.
Mike Mason walks from behind Robinson, and he is dressed in the tightest possible polo shirt. Robinson turns and sees Wildeline walk in from the other side. Robinson is now stuck between the two of them. Wildeline dressed to wrestle, stands like a statue with her arms folded, while Mason chomps on some gum. Mason grabs Starr’s arm and moves the microphone closer to himself.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
No, no, no sweetie. Your guest, for whom speaking with the pleasure is all YOURS, is The Mecca of Manhood, The Titan, The Bod God, The Marvelous One, Michael Mason.
Now, Starr, I have come to grace your presence for one reason and one reason only. That reason is to address the challenge that was laid out to me by “Fatzilla” Demetrius Lane. Normally, I wouldn’t lower myself to competing against such a sweat hog as Demetrius Lane, But that Georgia gloryhole worker has treated my name like he treats glazed donuts, meaning he's been unable to keep it out of his mouth.
So, Demetrius, if you want it you got it. You want to raise your stock and make sure you get a good pay day by working with me on pay per view, I get it, but because what you wish for Demetrius, because all the money you get from your LOSERS share of the purse is going to be all the money you have to spend on your hospital bills.,
Starr slowly moves the microphone away from Mason and back to herself. Starr pauses for a moment and then turns to Wildeline.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | STARR ROBINSON
Becca, tonight you face Victoria Lyons in a match where neither of you have achieved victory in Shogun, what do you think is going to give you the edge tonight?
Starr holds the mc to Wildeline, but before she says anything Mason interrupts grabbing the microphone and pulling it back to him.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Um, excuse me Starr, but this is my time, I’m the Starr here.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | STARR ROBINSON
Actually, this time was allotted to Becca, and….
Starr is cut off as Mason pulls the microphone from her hand and steps a bit in front of her. Starr looks shocked and appalled, and begins to step after Mason, but Wildeline steps in her way. Mason looks over his shoulder at this and smirks.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Starr, you need to learn a woman’s place is to be seen and not heard.
Mason turns to the camera, still with a full smirk.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
There are a lot of little birds out there chirping about The Marvelous One, but no one besides that Albatross Demetrius Lane has stepped up to do anything. So, either keep my name out of your mouth, or when you speak it put some respect on it.
Vincent Lyons, you little pencil necked geek, if you really dislike me so much, if you really want me to shut my mouth, then why don’t you try and shut it? Oh, I know why you won’t, because you are a little bitch, and you know I’ll break you over my knee and have my way with you.
I am the Mecca of Manhood, I am the Bod God, I am the Titan, I am the Big Natty Daddy, and I AM… Simply Marvelous.
Mason shoves the mic back into Starr’s hands and walks off set followed by Wildeline as the scene cuts to ringside.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is part of the Shogun tournament!
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.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, representing Germany and weighing in at one-hundred and ninety pounds…“THE HUNTER”….JOSH KAINE!
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.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent, representing France and weighing in at one-hundred and thirty-five pounds, RENEE JONAE!!
The lights go out as purple smoke goes down the ramp and Jonae walks down with her right hand slightly raised with her index finger up, as if leading the people with her through the dark. There is a faint light around her and “fairy/fay” silhouettes dance within the smoke. She walks up the ring steps and onto the turnbuckle, snapping her fingers to dissipate the darkness and smoke. She stays in place looking at the crowd, then looks to the camera with a wink and smile before descending the corner.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This should prove to be an interesting match, Vince. Both of these competitors are undefeated so far in the Shogun tournament...and Josh Kaine is undefeated since he was signed!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah, and Renee is the number one ranked wrestler on Dystopia currently. This is too close to call at the start.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And this matchup is underway as the referee calls for the bell!
The referee backs up as the two competitors take a moment to appraise each other before Renee Jonae storms out of her corner, but stops about the middle of the ring, changing up the speed of her walk dramatically. The Hunter takes a more defensive stance at first, but seeing his opponent not charging in, he goes on the aggressive attempting to catch Jonae off guard.
Renee Jonae swats the younger opponent to the side and turns to quickly drill a hard forearm shot to the back of the head. Kaine falls to his knees and palms immediately but as Renee comes towards him, he kicks her one foot back, catching the older woman in the gut. Jonae stumbles back and Kaine pushes off his hands, turning with a slight jump… only for Renee Jonae to charge forward and CLOTHESLINE him out of mid-air!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What an incredible move, planting the much larger Kaine onto the mat!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not gonna lie, I’d let her do that to me. It’d be pretty hot.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
You’d get about what you get from any encounter with a woman. A sore jaw.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s tru–hey!
Kaine writhes on the mat, cradling his head between his arms and Renee Jonae closes the distance to grab Josh by the right arm and violently yanks him up to his feet in an impressive show of strength and whips Kaine into the ropes. He comes bouncing back and the Fay Noire lunges to the side, plants her left foot and then swings her right foot up with a VICIOUS side toe kick right into the Hunter’s face! He goes down hard!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Holy hell!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Did you hear the impact?!
The fans roar in reaction to the impact of the kick and the referee starts to count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Josh rolls over on his stomach, clutching at his head, but still isn’t up to his feet.
FIVE!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Kaine needs to dig down deep here and get back to his feet or this one’s over!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah, Kaine, get back up! I wanna see you be Renee Jonae’s punching bag for a bit longer!
SIX!
The Hunter gets up to one knee and he pulls his hand away…no blood to be seen yet. He lets out a slight sigh before standing all the way up, but Renee Jonae is right there! The new Colossus spins him around just as the referee motions for the match to continue. Again Kaine is whipped into the ropes, but rebounds with a sudden explosive burst! Jonae turns just as Josh slams into her, planting his elbow in the older woman’s face to return the favor and they both fall! The fans cheer loudly as the Hunter pushes himself to his feet with a defiant roar and his opponent shakes out the cobwebs on the ground! Kaine bends and pulls Renee back to her feet and sends the older woman flying against the ropes!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And now Josh Kaine is on fire!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It’s because Renee knocked a few of his screws loose!
Kaine springs against the ropes as his opponent rebounds, but Renee Jonae regains herself quickly and hooks Kaine in a front facelock and suddenly snaps under him with an elevated swinging neckbreaker!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
BOOM! Good night!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What a maneuver!
Kaine rolls around, clutching his neck in agony as Renee scrambles after him. Renee Jonae finally catches up to him again and pulls the younger man backward and hooks a leg!
ONE!
TWO!
The Hunter kicks his legs hard and rolls his shoulders off the canvas breaking the count! Renee Jonae quickly yanks Kaine up to his feet by his wrist and sends him into the ropes! Josh rebounds hard and Renee moves to strike but Kaine hits first and smacks into his opponent with a hard elbow to the chin. Renee Jonae collapses to the canvas!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What a great back-and-forth match this is!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
You just gave me a great visual, Steele. Me, with either of those two, back and for–
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Can we PLEASE cut his mic?
Kaine instantly recognizes the opportunity that lies before him and scrambles for the cover!
The referee drops again for the count!
ONE!
TWO!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Renee’s got the shoulder up!
Kaine roars out this time hooking one of his opponent’s legs as the referee begins the count again!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR–
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
NO! THE BLACK FEY KICKS OUT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Unbelievable! These two have such heart!
Kaine rolls off of his opponent and goes to pull her up by the hair, but Renee surprises Kaine and pulls his legs out from under him, putting the younger man on his back. She pounces on the Hunter and mounts her, landing lefts and rights like crazy before Kaine is able to roll over on her side and isolate one of Renee Jonae’s arms. There’s a standoff for just a bit before Renee Jonae makes a move to get out of the position and both are back on their feet again to the tune of the fans cheering.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What a great opening contest here, and this crowd is showing their appreciation!
Kaine lunges forward at Renee but gets caught with a roundhouse kick that sends him staggering. Renee Jonae pauses before she runs at her opponent, her head lowered for a spear, but Kaine’s playing a game of possum! He kicks Renee in the gut and hits her with a hard DDT.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Renee Jonae could have a concussion after this!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Somehow I doubt even that would keep her down!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
That’s…actually a great point.
Josh Kaine gets Jonae up to her feet but Renee fights him off by shoving him away, hitting the ropes, ducking under her opponent’s arm and nailing a flying elbow smash on the rebound! In an attempt to put an exclamation mark on all of that, Renee Jonae jogs over and springboards off the ropes, looking for a moonsault. Kaine rolls out of the way but Renee Jonae lands on her feet, stumbling but catching herself from doing something stupid. Ever the opportunist, the Hunter rolls Renee Jonae up from behind and the referee drops for the count.
ONE-
KICKOUT!
There isn’t even any hesitation as Renee Jonae rolls back up to her feet with Kaine doing the same. With the crowd cheering in the background, the two opponents meet each other with rights and lefts, Kaine getting the better exchange! He keeps punching and punching at the Fay Noire until he backs her into a corner, then he kicks her in the gut, making Jonae slump to the ground. Kaine starts stomping at Renee viciously, eager to make this into a brawl more than anything else until he tops it off by placing his foot against Renee Jonae’s neck and choking her. The referee interjects and Josh Kaine happily lets go, making his way to the other corner.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This is turning violent here! Josh Kaine has snapped!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He broke the hold when the referee told him to, I’d hardly call that snapping.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Let’s get him over here to choke you and see what you call it.
As the older woman gathers herself up in the corner and steps away from the ropes, the referee moves back. The Hunter rushes forward, banking on Renee Jonae’s brains still being rattled, but she is vigilant as ever! She leaps off of the ropes and grabs Kaine’s head with a jumping leg lariat, bringing him to the canvas with such force and sending the younger man sprawling to the ground!
Renee Jonae drops for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Holy hell! France just beat Germany for the first time since World War 2!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And she busted him open good! Kaine’s winning streak is broken!
The crowd erupts as the referee moves to hold up Jonae’s hand and Josh pushes himself up, finding blood is pouring from his nose as he smiles and chuckles to himself. As the cheering continues, the Hunter finds his feet and applauds along with the crowd, giving his opponent her rightful due.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Here is your winner….RENEE JONAE!!
YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL: RENEE JONAE
We open on a shot of The Lyons Twins standing side by side, facing the cameras. Victoria gives a smile, while Vincent looks more serious in his expression, he’s also breathing a little heavy.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Tonight my brother and I….
Before she can finish, Vincent takes a step forward, and interrupts her.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Stephanie Matsuda. We’ll go to war later, this isn’t about you. I want to talk directly to Havoc.
Victoria looks on as her brother's voice gets louder, and more intense.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
A FAILURE?!?! DELUSIONAL??!!? A DEADBEAT WRESTLER?!?! WASHED UP??!?! JOKE OF A CAREER?!? I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU RUBBING MY NAME IN THE DIRT EVERY TIME IT EXITS YOUR LIPS. I AM DONE WITH YOUR INSULTS AND ALL OF YOUR DISRESPECT. YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN REAL REAL FUCKING SOON. UNDERSTAND ME?!?
Victoria places a hand on her brother's shoulder, but he bats it away.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU RESPECT MY NAME HAVOC!!! LOOK INTO MY EYES, YOU KNOW I’M TELLING THE TRUTH!!!! I WILL PERSONALLY BEAT THE RESPECT OUT OF YOU AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT BONES FOR ZOLTON TO PICK APART!!!! UNDERSTAND ME?!?!?! DO YOU??!!? HUH?!!?!?
Victoria grabs her brother's shoulder more forcefully this time, getting his attention.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
WHAT?!!
Victoria pauses, giving her brother a “no-you-didn’t” look.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Don’t you yell at me. You need to calm down, what the hell has gotten into you?
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I’m just tired of Havoc running his mouth and treating me like some sort of joke.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I know...I know, but screaming isn’t going to help. What happened to keeping your balance? Isn’t that your whole deal?
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Havoc is forcing me to focus on the...darker side of my balance.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Well snap out of it, worry about Matsuda for tonight. You’ll get Havoc soon enough. Tonight, just focus on getting that victory over The War Queen.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Big words from someone who hasn’t even won a match. Maybe you should worry about your own match with Becca Wildeline.
Victoria slaps her brother in the face for that comment.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Watch yourself Vincent. I know Havoc has you all out of sorts, but don’t you go lashing at the people who are supporting you.
Vincent sighs, and takes a moment to calm down.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
You're right...I’m sorry. I’m just gonna go, get ready for my match.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I suggest you do that.
Victoria shakes her head slightly, watching as her brother walks off screen, and the scene slowly fades out.
"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.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
In the ring representing The Philippines this is Demetrius GODDDDDDZILLLLAAAA LANNNNEEE!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Lane has been very impressive since he came to Dystopia gotta say the man has the goods....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Where did you come from? Didn't you leave?
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Had to get a drink fellas...calm down...
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.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
All that theatrics and he always seems to come up short, kinda like performance anxiety with the ladies....if he even goes that way....

DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Do you see the other GM out here at all?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Good point...
Lane still smirking just like he did in his win over Hixx last show comes right after Zolton. Zolton doesn't back down though and stands face to face with the larger Lane and then nods at Zolton and walks back a few steps. Lane and Zolton lock up and even though Zolton has the height advantage Lane is easily able to push Zolton into a corner thanks to his thirty pound weight advantage and then hits a knife edge chop that almost changes the colors of Z's tats on his chest and then a second and then a third. Z doubles over in pain and then gets clubbed over the back by Lane. Lane then pushes Z back vertical and then whips him into the opposite corner and charges in nailing a running senton into the corner. Z falls to the mat and Lane gets to his feet and climbs to the top and just as he gets up he rolls over and sees Lane going up and rolls outta the ring.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Z might have just saved himself right there.

Not something I wanna see...
Lane hops down and Zolton walks around the ring and Lane just leans against the corner, waiting for Z to get back in. He does after a few moments and the two lock up again and Z gets shoved into the ropes and on the return gets dropped by a thunderous shoulder block. Lane pulls Z up and Z with a simple move a thumb to the eye and then a basement drop kick to the knee that drops Lane like Mechagodzilla did back in the day. Zolton looks a little shaky still as Lane is clutching at his knee and Z grabs the leg and drives his knee into the knee of Lane causing Lane to scream in pain. Z grabs the leg and drapes it over the bottom rope and then leaps in the air and lands on it with all his force. Lane screams in pain and then Z with a modified Indian Deathlock and Lane struggles to find a way out and just uses his size to pull his way to the ropes, grabs them and the ref forces Z to break the hold and he does. Lane is using the ropes to get to his feet and Z kicks the good leg and Lane falls to the mat in a heap. Z pulls Lane up and sends him into the ropes, Lane nearly falls doing that and Z comes at him and leaps Lane catches Z in mid air tosses him over his shoulders and then catches him and nails a Samoan drop but Lane's knee is causes him to scream in more pain and Z is now grabbing his back in pain but is still able to get to his feet.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Z has found a way to ground the big man.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Great strategy by Zolton
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah that is why Zolton is one of the more under rated mat wrestlers here in WWH....
Lane is shown hitting the knee, trying to get some blood flowing into the damaged leg. Z is already up and charges at Lane but Lane is able to catch Z, spin and nail a text book spinebuster. Lane pulls Z up and lefts him up for a suplex but them drops him on the top turnbuckle...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
This could be bad for Z...
Lane folds Z up and looks to hit the “King of the Monsters” (Muscle Buster) but as soon as he lifts Z up the knee gives way and Z lands on top of Lane not in any sort of pinning combo just a heap. Z is able to realize that Lane's knee is an issue and drops a leg across the back of the head of Lane and then slaps on the “Descent into Madness” (Texas Cloverleaf) and well Lane has no where to go and needs to think about the next match and live to fight another day and after a few moments of trying to reach the ropes Lane taps out....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Not to shabby...

I have to say that was a great match to bad both couldn't have won it was a really solid effort by both men!
We cut backstage to follow Josh Kaine as he walks through a long hallway, looking more worse for wear than we’ve seen him before. Despite that brutal match earlier, he looks content...the self-satisfied smile on his face showing no signs of fading. Renee Jonae pushed the Dystopia newcomer almost to his limits and was the first one to evade the hunter’s trap.
From behind him, he hears a voice singing down the hall--reverberating off the cinder block walls.

♪ The mighty hunter thought he found another prey he could ensnare… ♪
We see him turn around quickly enough, finally laying his eye on the Banshee already decked out in her ring gear for her own fourway Women’s Division Showcase match later that night. He raises an eyebrow as she continues her sing-song taunting.

Josh doesn’t reply, just listens to her in amused curiosity. Maggie begins to walk toward him.

It is just then that he interrupts, continuing her song with his own words. He’s not a very good singer, but he gets a bemused smile from the Banshee.

“Beast” by Busta Rhymes begins to play over the PA. the crowd begins to boo. Lavender and gold colored lights begin to flash up and down the entrance way. "Marvelous" Mike Mason steps out onto the entrance ramp with the lights bouncing off the rhinestones of his robe. Mason places his hands on his hips and gives a cocky simile as he looks out over the arena. "The Beast" Becca Wildeline steps out to his side with her arms crossed on her chest and a stern look on her face.
Mason and Wildeline turn their heads and look at each other and Mason nods. Mason begins to walk down the isle with Wildeline following him. Mason climbs the ring steps and walks to one corner and Wildeline climbs to the other, they both pause and take a moment to pose for the crowd. Wildeline moves to the middle of the apron and pulls the top and middle rope open, allowing Mason to step between then into the ring, before she steps in herself. Mason moves to the middle of the ring and drops to one knee and poses while Wildeline stands behind him like a statue with her arms folded across her chest.

Then if that isn’t a big enough thrill I will let you kiss my cheek, and it better be the best kiss you have ever given in your life, because after your match with The Beast, your jaw will need wired shut.
Victoria nods her head and looks angry, but steps forward. Mason nods his head as he tosses the microphone to the ringside attendant and pulls his shirt up to expose his abs. Victoria steps forward and holds her hand out. Then instead of touching Mason’s abs, Lyons slaps Mason across the face.
Mason grabs his jaw in shock and looks at Lyons who says something to him, but Wildeline attacks from behind with a clubbing forearm to the back of Lyons. Wildeline continues throwing clubbing blows as the referee forces Mason out of the ring., and the bell dings.

Both women back to their feet, and as they do Lyons lands a forearm smash to the jaw of Wildeline. Wildeline staggers a bit, and Lyon’s delivers a second forearm smash. Lyons goes for a third forearm, but Wideline throws her arms up, blocking the blow. Wildeline then lands a big thrust kick that knocks Lyon’s to the mat. Wildeline quickly goes for a senton bomb, but Lyons rolls out of the way. Lyons gets to her feet and before Wildeline can get up Lyon’s lands a big soccer kick on Wildeline.

Lyons vs Wideline has just ended and the camera cuts to the Castle Hill section of the park where the famous Dragon coaster was located. Standing near the entrance to the ride we find Sah'ta Thor standing with his 2016 WWH International Championship over his right shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Here we are at the halfway point of the Shogun Tournament group stage here on Dystopia. We have already determined who is still undefeated to this point. The question though is what will the next show bring for us top contenders? In the end it doesn't matter since I am ready to face anyone still in the bracket. Yet, I will address that matter at a later date. No, this moment is for a pair of other matters.
Thor lifts his hand up to caress the title on his shoulder as his lips become a frown.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
First matter at hand is that I issued a challenge to Matsuda about the so-called International Championship she holds. Yet, nearly a month later I have yet to hear any acknowledgement from her. Though honestly that isn't all that surprising given her focus on the new outreach center that she just opened. What is surprising to me is the complete lack of reaction from the management on this matter. You would think a match of the caliber that I proposed would have caused some reaction yet as of this moment nothing has been said about it. In fact the only mention I have heard about my challenge is in a blog that former WWH star Quint McCain wrote a few weeks back.
With a shrug Thor lowers his hand from the gold surface it had been polishing. His hand falls back to his side as he licks his lips.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Let me make this clear to everyone involved, I am not going anywhere before this matter is resolved. I have issued a challenge that would merge the legacy of the belt I have on my shoulder to the belt that Matsuda currently holds. A legacy that as I have said before has been forgotten. To this point all I have down is speak on my intentions and verbalize my goals. However, the lack of reaction is wearing on my patience. If my words are continued to be ignored I will be forced to take action to get a response. Now I would rather not have to resort to such tactics but I will should my current course continue to garner no reaction.
With those words Thor begins to pace a look of intensity in his eyes.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Now moving onto another matter I have had on my mind. You see, the Shogun Pay Per View is rapidly approaching and I got to thinking about what will come afterwards. The truth is that I have already started to think about that very thing and have come to an interesting realization. In order to achieve what I want to do here in the WWH I understand that I will need back up. Just current Champions, they are all part of a faction. Now this of course could be coincidence but I doubt it.
Thor stops paces and stares directly into the camera with a look of determined intensity on his face.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
With that being said the question is will anyone currently on the roster want to join forces with me? Or will I be forced to bring in allies from outside the WWH? We shall see the answer to that in the coming weeks. Though until then know that I am open to conversations. However, know that at Shogun I will reveal the direction my Imperium will take. Until then nothing has been set in stone.
With that Thor walks through the entrance into the Castle as the camera cuts back to the ring area for the fatal fourway match.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Next we have a Womens' Division Showcase and these four ladies are all very capable in the ring and I am looking forward to seeing them go all out.

Dressed in a tight black top with a leather jacket and black tights tucked into knee high boots, she begins to stride down the ramp, her long black hair bouncing as she moves.
She climbs into the ring, stepping through the ropes and raising fist to the roar of the crowd before shedding the leather jacket to the outside. Her music slowly begins to die down as she awaits her opponent.
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.

I was supposed to have a contract signing here tonight. But it seems that Belladonna Hunter decided not to show up. That's alright because I knew that her coward ways were the truth, but you don't worry, Bella, I plan on somehow making your life a living hell. But until then, I need to focus on something more important than you. Later tonight, I fight someone who I know better than anyone, and that is the man that defeated Havoc. That man is none other than Jonny Cedrone.
He takes a moment to think about what he needs to say. The mic is still in his hand and by his mouth.
THE LEGEND OF THUNDER | CHRIS MATTHEWS
Jonny, you and I always seem to cross paths in this ring. This fight will be the third time that you and I are facing off since I've been here. The first one ended in a double count-out, the second one you've beaten me, but the third one is going to be so much different, and you know it. I know deep down in the bottom of your gut that you want to beat me -- but I got bad news for you, man. You're not walking out of this match with your hand raised in the air.
Trust me, I hate breaking the news so early, but these fans deserve to know. They know as do I that your mind isn't focused on me tonight. Spoiling tonight's fight isn't something I want to do, Jonny, but the fans deserve to know. They deserve to know that you got lucky last time we fought. Last time, you beat me, and I am honest enough to admit that. But tonight, you're going to learn a lesson that you shouldn't have beaten me, Jonny, but you did.
He shakes his head after that last saying.

Later tonight, I'm going to right the wrong that was put against me the last time we fought. Tonight, I'm going to put the hurt on you, and you can believe when I say that it's going to hurt.

If nothing else, the fans sure love his entrance music!

These fans wouldn’t know good talent if it kicked them in the face Foster! The man exudes confidence, he exemplifies talent and with every move he is certainly the excellence in execution!
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! During the initial one minute and eight seconds of the intro playing, the scene cuts to the back where we see Jonny Cedrone making his way towards the ring adjusting his elbow pads and doing some last minute stretches of his neck and shoulders. He turns a corner and behind him, standing ominously in the background is Havoc. He just stands there looking in Cedrone’s direction as Cedrone continues a few steps before stopping. Jonny is now blocking the camera view of Havoc in the background. Feeling a presence behind him, Cedrone slowly lifts his head then slowly turns his head to see where that feeling is coming from. But when Cedrone turns around, Havoc is gone! Jonny turns his head back forward and continues on his way.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Did you see that?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I…uh.
After the one minute and eight seconds mark, Jonny Cedrone comes walking through the curtains which really get the crowd up on their feet and screaming from the top of their lungs! Jonny 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. Jonny makes his way down the aisle slapping some of the outstretched hands along the way. Once reaching the ring, Jonny makes his way up the steps and walks the apron towards the center. He wipes his feet and makes his way through the ropes.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing next, making his way into the ring. Coming to us tonight from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at two hundred fifty pounds! He is…….JONNNNY CEEEEEDROOOOOOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!
Once inside, he climbs each middle turnbuckle and plays to the crowd getting them pumped up even more! Chris Matthews stands in his corner psyching himself up for the task at hand here tonight! The music fades away as Jonny and Matthews both jump around a little bit and do a little stretching.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It’s a really odd sight to see Jonny Cedrone without that coveted International Championship!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It’s a glorious sight to see him without any gold!!
The bell rings as both contenders begin circling one another. Jonny cracks his neck before Matthews fakes a leg sweep to try to catch him off-guard but Jonny’s too quick as he moves out of the way. Both men lock up in the middle of the ring with a collar-elbow-tie up with Matthews getting the upper hand. He has a headlock cinched in tight on Cedrone. With Cedrone having the weight advantage though, he’s able to push Matthews back towards the ropes and pushes him towards the other side of the ring. Matthews bounces off the ropes on the other side, comes back towards Cedrone who’s waiting on him. Cedrone picks him up high above his head, puts Matthews on display for a few brief moments before sending him crashing down to the mat with a gorilla press slam! The fans go wild with cheers to see Matthews on the mat, writhing in pain! Jonny poises himself in position against the ring ropes and waits for Matthews to get up to his feet. Matthews, grabbing at his back, makes it to his knees then slowly to his feet as Cedrone bounces off the ropes, runs towards Matthews and hits him with a Royal Flush, flipping Matthews inside out! Cedrone goes in for the cover early…

Matthews kicks out right after the ref’s hand hits the mat with the two count!

Of course there is! There’s no quit in the man Foster!
Cedrone makes it to his knees as Matthews rolls over onto his stomach. Cedrone grabs Matthews by the hair as Cedrone makes it to his feet. Matthews fights his way to his knees but just as Cedrone thinks he’s in charge, Matthews gouges Cedrone in the eyes, doubling over the former International Champion! The fans rain down on Matthews with a loud chorus of boos!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Ha! Ha! Ha! What a smart move on the part of Chris Matthews, Foster! He knows where he’s at at all times and takes full advantage!
Jonny stumbles his way into a corner, trying to get his vision back. Matthews, still grabbing at his back, makes it to his feet and finds his way over to Cedrone. Matthews starts attacking Cedrone with kicks to the guts. With Cedrone doubling over, Matthews grabs Cedrone by the hair, pulls him out of the corner a little and drops him down with the Twist and Shout! Matthews doesn’t waste much time as he positions Cedrone into a better position. Matthews makes his way through the ropes, to the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Once he positions himself safely at the top, he rises from a crouching position to a standing position, jumps off and connects with a diving elbow drop! Matthews makes the cover…

Cedrone kicks out at two-and-a-half! Matthews with the win…almost!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He’s wearing the former International Champion down Foster!
Matthews is the first to his feet. He rolls Cedrone over onto his stomach, picks him up by the hair and sets him up on his knees. Matthews takes a few steps back and measures Cedrone up for his next line of offense. Matthews delivers his devastating S.E.A.L. kicks to Cedrone! Dazed and obviously in pain, Cedrone flops to the canvas, but immediately rolls under the bottom rope and onto the outside of the ring, hitting the mats on the outside of the ring with a loud thud. Matthews stands up, looks out at the fans with a huge grin as he’s met with a thunderous chorus of boos.
Matthews waits for Cedrone to get to his feet. He’s slow to do so, but when he does reach his feet, Matthews runs and bounces off the ropes from the opposite side of the ring, runs back towards Cedrone who’s gathered himself up enough to see Matthews coming but not in time to move! Matthews dives through the ropes, Cedrone catches him but the momentum of Matthews keeps Matthews on course for what he wanted to do as he drops Cedrone to the floor at ringside with a destructive DDT!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Oh my God!! Did you hear that thud as Cedrone’s skull cracked like an egg on the concrete floor?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
That had to hurt and hurt bad!! All of Cedrone’s brain matter has to be all over the floor by now – er that is if he had any to begin with!
Matthews gets back to his feet first and disassembles the ring steps. He takes the top half of the steps and starts beating on Cedrone with them. The ref, getting angry at the outright dismissal of the rules, lets Matthews know that there’s law and order to be had in this match and threatens to disqualify Matthews if he doesn’t stop using the steps! Matthews ignores the words of the ref and continues to use them on Cedrone. The crowd meets this with great disdain but calms down a little when the ref comes out and admonishes Matthews for his outright refusal of obeying the rules. Matthews finally drops the steel steps and raises his hands in the air as the ref continues to admonish him. When the ref turns his attention to checking on the condition of Cedrone, Matthews slides in under the bottom rope and plays to the crowd some, who’s greeting him with a boisterous chorus of boos.
Matthews, sporting a huge smile, is extremely proud of what he’s done so far but he’s not finished yet! He sees that the ref is still concerned with Cedrone and Cedrone is trying his best to get up from the attack but he’s grasping at his ribs. Matthews seizes the opportunity and climbs out of the ring on the opposite side from Cedrone, reaches under the ring and pulls out a folded chair. He holds it high in the air to show the fans his intentions.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What does he have planned for that steel chair Jacob?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Anything he damn well pleases Foster!!
Matthews has stalked his way around the ring and has found himself standing at Cedrone’s prone body. The referee tries to stop him from using the weapon but his pleas fall on deaf ears. Matthews winds the chair way behind him and WHAM down across Cedrone’s body hard with the steel chair. Followed by another hit. Then another. And another! A total of ten times, Matthews strikes down hard on Cedrone’s body!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Referee Marilyn Raycole needs to do a better job of getting control of the match!
The referee makes her way back into the ring and calls over Sona Raylee to talk with her. After conversing for a few brief moments, Sona gets on the house mic to make an announcement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been told by Referee Marilyn Raycole that if Chris Matthews doesn’t get in the ring by the count of five – that’s right, by the count of five – she will disqualify him and fine him $25,000 for the blatant disrespect of her authority and inflicting bodily harm to Jonny Cedrone with intentions to maim him!
The fans go completely nuts with approval!!

Just another way to protect that wretched Jonny Cedrone, Foster! I say let them do whatever they want or need to do! This is a travesty!
Incensed, Matthews stops beating on Cedrone with the chair and looks up at the referee. He brushes his hair back out of his face and starts arguing with her. She begins to count…
ONE
TWO
THREE
Matthews sees that arguing with the referee isn’t going to go anywhere, turns his attention back to Cedrone, raises the chair back over his head and WHAM down with the chair across Cedrone’s body once again!
FOUR
Matthews takes a moment to assess his accomplishments before dropping the chair next to Cedrone’s seemingly lifeless body and making his way into the ring just before Referee Raycole makes the count of five. Once inside the ring, he turns his attention towards the referee. He begins stalking her. Every step he takes towards her, she takes a step backwards, admonishing him the entire time, repeating her threats but that does nothing to slow him down. He backs her into a corner, berating and arguing with her. They argue back and forth for a few minutes when all of a sudden – out of nowhere – Jonny Cedrone comes flying into the scene with a Stinger Splash to the delight of the fans as they lose their collective minds! But in the process of crushing Matthews, he inevitably crushed the referee too!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And Cedrone out of nowhere!

Where the hell did he come from Foster??!!
Matthews falls out of the corner and lands on the canvas face first, and the referee crumples to the mat herself into a sitting position in the corner. The fans have reached a fever pitch thinking that their hero has come back from the dead to win this thing when all of the sudden the lights go out to make it as dark as it can possibly can, being where they’re at.

The fans are all abuzz but that buzz turns to boos when the lights come back up an eerie red. Cedrone is now standing in the middle of the ring with Havoc standing behind him. Cedrone looks around confused but never looks behind him. Cedrone slowly turns around and is met with a hard kick to the gut. Havoc hooks an arm, lifts Cedrone up and drives Cedrone down into the mat with a Giga Drill Break!! Havoc gets back up to his feet, looks down at Cedrone and lets out a smirk before looking into the hard camera. His smirk fades to a menacing stare and the lights go back out. When the lights come back up Matthews has made it into a seated position, leaning up against the ropes. The referee is coming to as well, on her knees in the corner still trying to shake out the cobwebs. Matthews looks down at Cedrone confused but a smile begins to grace his face.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER

And here is your winner… CHRIIIS MAAATTHEWWWWWS!!!
Matthews, still on his knees forces the referee to raise his hand in victory! Reluctantly she does so, but mere seconds later, from behind Matthews comes Belladonna Hunter with a steel chair and whacks Matthews in the back with ALL her might!!! The fans lose their mind and cheer as she unleashes on Matthews with months of pent-up frustration with chair shot after chair shot!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Is that…Belladonna Hunter?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It is! And she’s giving Chris Matthews the business with that chair!!!
After about ten chair shots Belladonna stops the ambush and lets out a roar, once again to the fans’ delight! With that not being enough, she looks back down at Matthews who’s writhing in pain and reaching up towards Belladonna in a plea for her to stop. Instead of stopping though, Belladonna raises the chair up again and continues her onslaught. Once she feels that that’s enough she drops the chair down by Matthews’s head. Belladonna now in a state of rage so high, she once again lets out a roar as she hastily paces around the ring, grabbing at her hair in a sense of insanity, finally being able to release all of that anger on Matthews after all that time. She stops pacing, looks into the hard camera, then out at the crowd, panting with an intense grimace, then slowly turns her attention back to Matthews. She slowly walks over to him as he makes it to his knees. When he reaches his knees, he tries to beg for forgiveness but Belladonna has none for him! She kicks him in the gut, hooks him up and drives him head first into the steel chair with the Hunter’s Arrow!! The crowd roars in cheers as Belladonna slowly sits up and lets out a huge devilish grin!
After she finally got a little bit of revenge on Chris Matthews, the woman who is known as "Lady Huntress" Belladonna Hunter asks for a microphone from the ring announcer on Dystopia. She did get one but before she could speak, a tall slender man is seen getting in the ring. Miss Hunter okays the man to stand side by side with her. She says right over Mr. Matthews' almost lifeless body.
LADY HUNTRESS | BELLADONNA HUNTER
Chris Matthews, I have enough of you picking on me. I'm so damn sorry for me saying anything about your precious Pandora Barrett so Miss Barrett, I am even more sorry for me saying anything about you. I am going to leave your name out of my mouth because I know that Chris Matthews will want me to breathe my last breath and physically die right in front of him and the fans. I'm here to let you know that it would be an extremely cold day in hell before that happens. Mr. Matthews, we really need to settle this once and for all!! I propose that we face each other in a three in one match. You choose a stipulation and I will choose mine. I've already chose my stipulation and that is inside of the hellish Hell In A Cell!! The third stipulation will be chosen by the fans. Oh by the way Chris, if you ever think about trying to "interfere" in my matches, you will be dealing with my bodyguard here. His name is Hellion. You can pick the second stipulation. See you in hell Chris Matthews!!
The orderlies, along with Hellion, are seen getting Miss Hunter out of the ring and leaving the Dystopia show arena.
Renee Jonae is found seated by a TV monitor backstage, taking it easy after the battle earlier in the night.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Hey Renee, you’re still around?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
If Ashes aren’t done for the night, neither am I. Besides, the next match is one I need to have my eye on.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Right, your friend is facing Stephanie! Actually, Jonny’s also been looking for her as of late.
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
I’m sure he’ll get to her eventually. I’m a bit busy with the Shogun tournament and our war with Havoc, but I haven’t forgotten about her either. I don’t need to chase her, our time will come.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
You, Vincent, and Jonny, you don’t have anything planned for her, do you? Stephanie did say she considers this a three-way war between The Revolutionaries, Ashes, and herself.
Jonae looks at Faith, almost offended by the implication of her wondering if they’d do something to Stephanie.
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
That’s not how The Revolutionaries do things, and double seemingly goes for Jonny. We may share pointers, but the three of us will take our battles with her as separate affairs because we have something called decency. Something our nemesis team does not have, just imagine what would be happening to her right now if we weren’t around to keep Ashes from beating down this locker room one by one! I know Cloud knows this, she’s known that it takes a faction to deal with a faction plenty of times in her history, it seems this time around she’s content sitting in the sidelines and taking her shots at Havoc….after we leave openings for her.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Does that bother you?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
Not necessarily, or maybe deep down I let it slide because I actually like Cloud. Under different circumstances, I think she and I would be friends. I truly appreciate what she does, helping marginalized communities and giving orphans a place to stay. Most of all, I think the Dynamic Duo members that are always by her side have good heads on their shoulders. However, she seems to think all this lobbying and talking about Havoc is going to get her closer to a championship opportunity. Like it’ll magically manifest in thin air! Take it from a fellow practitioner of black girl magic, Cloud, that isn’t how WWH works!
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Oh!
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
When I was Women’s World Champion I beat Havoc in a champion vs champion match, the first person do it, and it didn’t get me an opportunity because the line is that long! It’s not that easy to get yours in this company! That’s why I fight through this Shogun tournament and I beat Havoc’s number one contender! She’s not even third in line for Havoc, two people have pinned him now and Zolton’s already got a guaranteed shot. With all due respect to everyone in the back, they all need to stop playing games! Check the damn rankings and know who has pinned the nightmare champ! Aside from the World Tag Team Championships, I am the rightful first in line for EVERY championship with the word world in this company! Be it Women’s or everyone’s!
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
What a fiery response! The match you’re waiting to see is about to start, so I’ll leave you be, thanks for the talk Renee!
Faith takes her leave, and Jonae stares at the monitor waiting for Vincent Lyons Jr vs Stephanie Matsuda to start.
The lights in the arena go out and the arena is completely dark. Instead of Matsuda or Lyons Jr's themes, “The Man” by Aloe Blacc begins to play over the PA. The crowd begins to boo as Mike Mason walks out to the entrance way. His chest glistens in the spotlight as his shirt has been removed. Mason makes his way to the ring, looking as cocky as only he can.
Mason takes the middle of the ring and the house lights come up as the music fades out.The boos from the crowd almost drowned Mason out.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Now, now now, you all should be thanking me for my generosity. I thought it over and it wouldn't be fair of me to deny you brick building bimbos the chance to make your wildest dreams come true and touch this beautiful body. I will even go so far as to let you chapped lip lego lickers place your lips upon my chiseled jaw.
The crowd begins to boo once again as Mason smiles.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Also, you can rest at ease knowing that The Beast is in the back, so you can lay your hands and your lips on the Bod God without fear of being smited. So, which lucky lady will get to experience the Mecca of Manhood?
The men in the crowd begins to boo, and some girls begin to cheer, while some also boo. Mason scans the crowd, and finally stops and points to a tattooed brunette. The dark haired woman is sitting ringside, and is helped across the security railing by a ringside attendant. She climbs into the ring where she walks more confidently to Mason than Mason would expect.
Mason smiles at her confidence and looks her up and down before speaking to her.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
And, who might you be?
The brunette is tall for a woman, could perhaps even reach Mason's cheek without making him bend down. She gives him a beaming, bright smile.
WOMAN
I'm Angelica Ambrose.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Well, Angelica tonight is going to be the most memorable night of your life, because you get to lay a hand on the abs so cut that even Brad Pitt in Fight Club is jealous of these genetics.
Now, first you are going to need this.
Mason reaches into his back pocket and hands Angelica a bottle of hand sanitizer.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
I’ve got to make sure you clean that filth that you have touched her tonight off of your hands before you touch the phenomenal abdominal.
Her smile sort of freezes on her face as if this is unexpected, but she shrugs it off and takes the bottle and squirts some in her palm, rubbing it through her fingers evenly.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
... sure, why not, I mean the times we're living in now, right? Hah, heh.
Mike Mason takes her right hand and inspects it thoroughly, before releasing it.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
You may now lay your hand upon my body.
Angelica places her hand upon Mason’s rock hard stomach, and gives a face of being impressed. After only a moment Mason grabs her hand and slowly removes it.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Now, would you like to place your lips upon my marvelous cheek?
Before she can even answer Mason answers for her.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Of course, you would.
Mason then leans over sticking his jaw out. Angelica leans him to him but at the last moment Mason pulls away and steps back with a disgusted look on his face.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Do you really think I would let you lay your lips upon me? I’m going to have to take a shower as soon as I get to the back just from your filthy hands touching my body. You are a vile creature and you disgust me. You do not even deserve to breathe the same air that I do.
Angelica's hand comes to her upper chest and her eyebrows raise, aghast.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
What an atrocious thing to say, you don't even know me!
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Everything I need to know about you I already known simply by looking at you. I know that whole amazon sized woman thing has a niche with some weird little sissy boys who like to be dominated in the bedroom, but honey I’m not into s&m, I don’t have mommy issues.
Your trash tattoos and your hideous goth girl makeup don’t do enough to cover up that busted face baby. Clearly, you got something to hide, clearly deep down you aren’t happy with yourself, and clearly you...are not...MARVELOUS!
Mason holds his arms out wide and slowly turns for the crowd to view his body.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
Well, that's certainly a brave thing to say...
Her hand falls away from her chest, her eyebrows fall into a nearly predatory glare, and her voice drops into its natural British intonation.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
...to the new CEO of the company. You see, I wanted to watch the show from the point of view of the audience to really get a feel for our product, and you've certainly given me something to think over, Mason.
Mason scoffs and looks at her with a look of disbelief.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
You… you expect me to believe that you are the new CEO of World Wrestling Headquarters? Come one, let’s be serious. You don’t look like you could even manage a McDonald’s let alone run a major company like this. Your idea of being CEO here is just like the thought of you kissing the Marvelous One, nothing but your wildest fantasy.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
Uh... huh... Hey, our audio-visual crew, can you do me a favor and cue up what you were previewing for me just before the show?
There's a moment's pause, and then on the tron up comes a bespoke entrance video for Angelica set to Bryce Fox's "Horns"--
There are clips from a career, elsewhere and long enough ago for her to have fewer tattoos. Superkicks and Gory neckbreakers against other women and men alike.
♪ She got horns like a devil pointed at me
And there's nowhere to run from the fire she breathes ♪
There are also studio shots of her in what could best be described as goth-business-casual. And sure enough, flickering in there along with her name is her title-- CEO.
When the camera's attention comes back to Mason and Angelica, she looks quite smug. The shot focuses on Mason, who is seen gulping, his Adams apple sinking down his throat. Mason then slowly smiles and gives a nervous laugh.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Obviously, I was just kidding around. Ya know how us men are, a little mean to a girl we like, in a way of flirting. I mean… who doesn’t like a woman who can almost stand nose to nose with him and look him in the eye. And… uhhh, those tattoos, such wonderful artwork. Your makeup, it is so….
Mason is cut off as Angelica holds her hand up. Mason clearly looks nervous.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
Don't worry, Mason, you're not in trouble... yet. But my eye is on you now. It might behoove you to remember who pays your exorbitant paycheck...
She raises an arm and gestures around to the fans, who whoop and cheer at the acknowledgment.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
And who signs it. Now come over here and give mama a kiss on the cheek, hmm?
She leans, offering the side of her face, wearing an amused expression. Mason closes his eyes tightly and leans in slowly to kiss Angelica’s cheek, but she stops him, holding her finger up to his lips.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
On second thought, Mike, you've got a dirty mouth. But you know who I bet could teach you some good manners? Demetrius Lane. You will be facing him at Shogun.
Mason’s eyes fly open and are as wide as saucers. His jaw drops in shock and Bryce Fox's "Horns" begins to play again as the camera focuses on Mason’s shocked face as the scene fades to commercial.

“Oh La La by Boogie” plays as Stephanie "Cloud" Matsuda walks out dressed in her signature black fitted cap and a bandanna around her face. Trailed by manager Monica Vaughan, Matsuda walks on stage and crouches low, getting ready for her match. 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. She then climbs the nearest turnbuckle, pulls down her bandanna, as she stares into the crowd. Matsuda retreats to her corner, her gaze fixated on her opponent.

As the bell rings, both competitors snap into action.
Vincent tries to get in a tie-up, but Matsuda tries to back away from it. As Vincent tries another tie-up, Matsuda uses her quicker reflex to keep the larger opponent away. Lyons moves under and attempts a leg sweep, but the sturdy frame of Matsuda takes the impact and comes up and over with a chop. Vincent falls back to the mat and Matsuda leaps up in the air and comes down onto the face of her opponent with a hard closed fist. The audience yells in approval as the referee looks at Matsuda and admonishes her for the shot. The champion shrugs as she stands up. Lyons gets to a seated position, holding his head. Matsuda gets wise and throws a hard soccer kick towards Vincent, but the Young Lion pulls off a sweep and knocks the taller opponent on his back! Lyons flips himself up and the crowd boos as VYJ goes into a cartwheel into a roundoff. Lyons floats into a backflip and drops an elbow across the sternum of Matsuda!

Both opponents rush to the middle, but Matsuda gets the jump with a hard European Uppercut! The Young Lion takes a bump to the mat as Matsuda leaps in the air and comes down with a hard leg drop. As Vincent keeps a hold on his throat, Matsuda rolls him over and pulls him into a quick STF. Lyons yells out as the knee twists and the neck gets pulled back! The audience yells for Matsuda to pull back the pressure.

And Matsuda locking in the STF. Trying to take advantage of that damage from the leg drop.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He’s trying his best to break it!
As Vincent keeps trying to break the hold, Matsuda is doing all she can to keep the hold cinched. However, Vincent uses his ring awareness to grab a hold of the ropes. The referee snaps down and orders the champion to break the hold. Matsuda complies and shakes her head in frustration. The audience lets their disappointment be known, as well. As Lyons gets to his feet, Matsuda gets the jump and plants a hard superkick to the jaw! The crowd goes nuts as she catches Vincent staggering and springboards off the ropes, nailing that flying forearm splash! As the impact settles, she leaps up and drops the leg across the throat!

Matsuda hits with Final Heaven!!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And she hooks the leg!

The referee drops for the count!!
Matsuda presses his body down and hooks the leg, and the referee hits the mat three times. Vincent isn’t able to throw the shoulder up in time…
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Your winner by pinfall, Stephanie “Cloud” Matsuda!!!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Matsuda with the impressive victory tonight thanks to the Final Heaven!
YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL: STEPHANIE ‘CLOUD’ MATSUDA!
The camera opens to The Dynamic Duo - Serenity and Jocelyn - talking amongst themselves backstage. Both women wear frowns on their faces, as if they were upset about something. An exhausted Stephanie Matsuda walks into view with her wife, Monica Vaughn. The War Queen observed her proteges for a moment before speaking.
THE WAR QUEEN | STEPHANIE MATSUDA
You guys okay?
Serenity sighs and shakes her head.
DAUGHTER OF THE SCORPION | SERENITY SCORPIO
No we're not okay. We don't want to be Noah Hanson's hit men. We just want our titles back.
JOCELYN SKY
This stuff with The Ashes doesn't involve us. We defeated Striker and Minami to earn a shot at getting our belts back. Instead, we're lumped into [/font]
THE WAR QUEEN | STEPHANIE MATSUDA
Guys, sometimes things don't go the way you want it to. You're the number one contenders. That in itself is quite an accomplishment. You have a second chance to make things right. But sometimes, you're gonna have to keep fighting. This is your chance to prove to everyone that you're not only the well deserving tag team champions, but not even The Ashes of the Wake can stand in your way. You girls ready to shock the world?
Serenity and Jocelyn look at each other and smile. Matsuda nods and places a hand on each girl's shoulder.
THE WAR QUEEN | STEPHANIE MATSUDA
Now go out there, kick ass, and make momma proud.
The Duo nod and walk off to prepare for their match. The camera lingers on Matsuda for a moment who turns to Monica and places an arm around her wife.
The screen cuts to somewhere else-a high end gambling den of some sort where a pair of expensive shoes effortlessly glide across the fine carpet of the establishment before the camera’s angle shifts to a view of a Japanese man in a respectable looking white suit, his reddish tinged hair swaying slightly with each and every step as the camera shifts again to him approaching a bar before picking up a malt glass and taking a drink from it before turning casually to look at the camera
MAN
They say that pride goeth before the fall, bigger the pride equals bigger the fall. It truly troubles me that two people so young could bear so much pride in their young voices...speaking with such haughty arrogance that it is unbecoming of them.
The man takes another drink from his glass before he swirls the amber liquid in the clear crystal glass around, watching it swirl slightly before turning his eyes back to the camera as he slowly sets the glass back down.
MAN
Allow me to be the first to introduce myself to the wider world that is the World Wrestling Headquarters.
My name is Thomas Bane and for quite a while, the fine people here a part of the Dystopia brand have called my home, Night City, their base of operations and I have watched it with great amusement and I have stayed my hand...until now.
Now, my partner and I have come to the World Wrestling Headquarters because we wish to prove a point and that point is that you don’t have to swing some fancy belt around to be dominant. You are dominant by showing your true strengths no matter the cost.
Bane sets his left forearm onto the bar and leans slightly as he starts to motion with his right hand around at the room around him.
THOMAS BANE
Once upon a time, I thought that the mere capturing of gold meant that you were dominant...and with that belief came a certain arrogance, one that only grew with each victory that I obtained. It grew like a great cancer within me until someone came along to correct this belief as my will was nearly broken and I was close to giving up several times, but not giving up and having the bravery to step forward has made me who I am.
Look to the greater glory of Havoc for such an example of a belief.
But my partner and myself, we respect the power of change that Havoc has but we are not his followers...but does one need to be a follower to have respect for another? This is a fact that some of the newer members of Havoc’s flock do not truly grasp yet.
When you understand the truth of a thing, you can become enlightened...just like myself and my partner.
Bane turns his head to the right with a knowing smile and a nod at which point the camera’s view shifts to a poker table where a masked dealer places two cards down in front of another Japanese man, this one more recognizable to the fans of Pro Wrestling Nova as none other than the “Rated R Reaper” himself, Alex Slayer. He is also dressed in a very respectable looking black suit
RATED R REAPER | ALEX SLAYER
Thomas is right, as he usually is about such matters. But of course those who know me know that I am of a more martial belief that if you live by the sword, then you die by the sword.
Which brings me to the two of you, the twin daughters of the War Queen. You preach of how superior you are and yet...how is that superiority treating you outside of this company? Do you regularly bring great glory to your teacher’s name or do you squander chances given to you?
Alex looks at the two cards given to him by the masked dealer and then gives his signature confident smile as he lowers them back down
RATED R REAPER | ALEX SLAYER
Can the two of you be dominant in defeat as you are in victory, can you be humble in victory as you would be in defeat?
The smile disappears from Alex’s face as he slowly shakes his head.
RATED R REAPER | ALEX SLAYER
I think not, for neither one of you see nor do you wish to see any kind of truth past the glory of gold. Yes, you worked hard to become the world tag champions here...but tell me true, young ladies...what are you willing to sell for that chance at golden glory again?
In the end, I don’t think either one of you will like that answer when it comes due.
We have come here to this company to face off against the best in the world...we don’t fully care for the championships because what is the glory of gold without the fury of defeating opponents actually worthy of being called champions? Thomas and I understand that better than anyone else on this roster because we have come here to face the best in the world.
Diamond Dogs, Soulless Sisters, Ashes of the Wake, Beauty and the Beast, Lobos de la Muerte, the Order of the Soulless, Tiger Towers, and the Spooky Scary Skeletons.
Thomas steps into the camera’s view to the poker table opposite of Alex as he motions at the empty seats around the table.
THOMAS BANE
There is always a chance to play for our stakes, and while they are not for any titles yet...if one wishes to brag about how superior a player they are in the Game...then come and play at our table.
Bane’s face takes on the same confident smile that his partner has on his face.
THOMAS BANE
After all, what is life without a little risk...especially when you live by the sword?
The camera then cuts out.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the MAIN EVENT of the evening! It is to be contested under Triple Threat, Texas Tornado Tag Rules! All three teams will be in the ring at the same time. And the first pinfall or submission will be declared the winner!
The hard bassline of William Murderface starts to echo throughout the arena as the lights in the arena fade save for four pale blue spotlights that bathe the entrance way in their light as smoke starts to bellow up around the entrance way as Dethklok's "Face Fisted" begins to play.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making his way to the ring from Encino California, weighing in tonight at an amazing one hundred ninety two pounds!!
The smoke dissipates to reveal a shadowy figure doing a crucifix pose before he throws his arms down and the lights then blaze back to normal as Uiriamu Minami starts his walk down to the ring as the official video for Face Fisted plays, interjected with scenes of Uiriamu's past wrestling history.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
He is "Wrestling's Hottest Property!!", UIRIAMU MINAMI!!!
Uiriamu strides down to the ring as the crowd continues to cheer him on before he gets to the ring side area and pulls up his signature shades before he he heads over to the ring steps and then bangs on it a couple of times to get himself more psyched up before he gets into the ring and climbs up the nearest turnbuckles as the lights over the ring turn on to the pale blue to bathe him in it once more as he throws his arms out to the cheers of the crowds before he makes like he's checking his watch on his right wrist before the lights go back to normal and he hops down from the turnbuckle and moves to the center of the ring, awaiting his opponents as he removes his outer gear.
As the fans are speaking amongst themselves in the arena, suddenly an accented man's voice explodes from the PA system which quickly catches the fans' attention
TYBALT
Peace? Peace. I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
As the man's voice then fades into a powerful instrumental as the faint words of a speaker can be heard before the instrumental explodes fully into existence.
VOICE
And during the few moments that we have left we wanna talk right down to earth in a language, that everybody here can easily understand.
As GEARS' cover of "Cult of Personality" explodes, the fans send up a large face pop as the "Real Rock'n'Rolla" himself-the "Natural" Jacob Striker-strides out of the entrance way where he stops in the middle of the stage to pull down his signature face mask with a look of intense concentration on his face before it breaks out into a rather confident, predatory smile before he starts to make his way down to the ring as a set of pyro goes off at the sides of the stage.
Jacob walks down to the ring, high fiving the occasional fan as he goes, and heads to the far end of the ring where he quickly hops up onto the ring apron, and then draws his right thumb across his throat slowly before throwing up that hand into the air in a "too sweet" motion before he ducks under the top and middle ropes into the ring where he starts to get out of his ring gear while keeping an eye out for trouble.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his tag team partner! Weighing in at 230lbs. He hails from Sleepy Hollow, New York! He is “The Natural” Jacob Striker!
“Here” by Alessia Cara plays as the lights dim and change to a purple hue. Serenity Scorpio walks out, trailed by her tag partner Jocelyn Sky. Both women pose back-to-back on the stage as they receive a good amount of fanfare.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
From Brooklyn, NY! “The Daughter of the Scorpion” Serenity Scorpio and Jocelyn Sky, they are the Dynamic Duo!!!
The Dynamic Duo walks towards the ring in unison, giving high fives to the fans along the way. Serenity gives her partner a fist bump before jumping up to the apron and posing for the crowd against the ropes. She leans her back against the ropes and backflips into the ring. They both wait in corners opposite Striker & Minami and prepare for their match.
The crowd begins to rise as the opening of In This Moment's "Comache" hits the PA system. The Amazon appears on the stage, wearing a black and red leather hooded ring jacket with jutting scale-armor style shoulders, the Asylum Championship around her waist. Wardog Roo, a French Mastiff, unrestrained and heeling at her side.
She strides to the top of the ramp and stops as the lights all hone in on her from different angles. She whips the hood back to reveal her face, stained with warpaint, and lets out a long war scream as audience members and Roo join her!
Nikki leaves Roo off leash at ringside and climbs through the ropes and runs to the opposite corner, jumping up onto the ropes and raising a fist, enjoying some of the reaction from the crowd before jumping back down. She hands her belt off to the referee and removes her jacket, quickly squaring off with her gameface awaiting the arrival of her partner.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Weighing in at one hundred forty seven pounds. She hails from Themiscyra, Anatolia, Turkey. She is the Asylum Champion, representing Ashes of the Wake….Nikki Caldwell!
The lights go out in the arena as the crowd waits in anticipation for the arrival of the Nightmare King. A red spotlight appears near the curtains as smoke engulfs the entire stage.
“Delusions of Savior” by Slayer hits the PA System as men and women donning face paint crawl out of the smoke and surround the stage for the arrival of ‘their savior’.
“Repentless” by Slayer kicks in with strobing red lights, as Jada Blaire steps out of the smoke with a menacing grin followed by the stone faced Havoc with a barbed wire baseball bat in hand. All the men and women around the stage bow at his presence as Havoc slowly makes his way down the ramp accompanied by Jada Blaire, and the strobing red lights lighting their path. He places the bat at ringside before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and embraces the negative crowd reaction with a smirk on his face.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And finally, weighing in at two hundred fourteen pounds! He is the Affliction Champion, The World Heavyweight Champion! Representing the Ashes of the Wake! He is the Nightmare King, Havoc!
DING DING DING
It’s Texas Tornado Rules so it’s no surprise when all hell breaks loose and all six competitors go at it from the start. The Ashes of the Wake in the form of Nikki Caldwell & Havoc immediately impose their will pushing against the opposite two teams, backing them up into the left hand corners and wailing away at the Dynamic Duo and the Golden Storm Riders respectively. Unfortunately despite the menace of their aura, the very real situation of having two on one from each side catches up to the haughty heels in short order. Jacob Striker is able to grasp onto the head of Havoc with a leg trapped guillotine choke. Havoc still holds his prey up in the corner as he punches at the ribs of The Natural. But Uiriamu Minami kicks away at the back of the knees of the Worlds Champion and the numbers game catches up on Havoc with the Rider’s own storm of blows taking him down to the mat.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not exactly the most intelligent move to start off this contest. The Ashes of the Wake must believe their individual prowess is enough to take on everyone individually! Pride comes before the fall.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look if Havoc and Nikki really thought these chumps were worth their time they could break ‘em in half in a minute! It’s the Asylum Champ with the Affliction Champ, the WORLD Champ in there! They practically run this place!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Noah Hanson would beg to differ on that my friend. That’s why this match was signed to begin with! To put the champions to the test!
At the other corner, Nikki seemed to be enjoying her ability to pummel both Jocelyn Sky & Serenity Scorpio back and forth as the tenacious team kept coming back at her for more, strike after strike. Nikki punches Serenity through the ropes, who catches herself on the apron. Caldwell headbutts Jocelyn away. But when she turns her attention back to Scorpio, a Pendulum Kick awaits which stuns the Amazon into the corner. Serenity slips back in and drops to all fours, allowing her partner Sky to run to the other side of the ring and immediately connect with some Poetry In Motion to the Asylum Champion!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Say what you will about the Dynamic Duo, I just love to watch those girls move in the ring. Hnnrgh.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
As tough as they are agile as they are skilled in tag team action. One could argue they are the most uniquely positioned team to win this one, on experience alone!
The Dynamic Duo play up to the crowd for their temporary victory. But what they don’t notice is while Jacob Striker is well...striking with great proficiency against Havoc in the corner, The World’s Hottest Property Mr. Minami has now turned his attention to their tag team rivals. He taps Serenity on the shoulder and turns her around, drilling his charge with a Chidori Superman Punch! Jocelyn tries to counter with a roundhouse kick, but Uiriamu is like a house of fire. Ducking underneath the blow he hits the ropes and bounces back with a handspring back elbow, taking Sky down! He goes for the first cover of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT BY JOCELYN SKY!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Just as I say that the Golden Storm Riders really coming into their own at this portion of the match! Neutralizing Havoc, waiting for Caldwell to be taken care of and now moving in for the kill against the former tag team champs. They almost had it right there, Jake!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look you said it before right? The Dynamic Duo are tough cookies. But like hard tack on the ol dusty trail, trying to end them early is only going to leave you feeling unsatisfied!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I have no idea what that means but I’m going to assume it’s compelling.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
As you should, Caleb! I’m a national treasure!
Minami rises from his feet and clenches his fist, screaming into the ceiling as his body courses with adrenaline. Unfortunately as is par for the course with these kind of affairs, any advantage is short lived. As Nikki Caldwell comes back into the thick of things and absolutely FLOORS The Hustle Supernova with a spear! Jacob Striker finally takes his attention off Havoc long enough to see his partner in trouble, but the savvy World Champion trips him up and causes him to fall on his face in the attempt to catch The Amazon off guard. She sneers in the direction of the Natural, lifting him up with freakishly little effort as she drops him right back on the back of his head with a head drop uranage! Caldwell screams a war cry of her own as she exclaims “You WILL remember who I am!”
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Caldwell feeling more than a little let’s say, slighted at the comments made about her earlier by Striker & Minami leading up to this match. Certainly seems to put a little more pepper behind those attacks against her targets of the moment!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Nikki is not one to piss off, Foster. Looks like Havoc is coming back into it as well. Oh man do these guys look scary. Look at em! You can cut the tension in the air tonight with a knife!
Havoc joins his Ashes of the Wake compatriot in the middle of the ring. They continue to spread their menacing aura with their mere presence in the ring. Looking around to see who is going to get up first and challenge their position. Turns out to be the Dynamic Duo themselves, as the fans rabidly try to get behind the babyfaces. Havoc laughs at the thought of these two being able to challenge the awesome might of the double champions. He ushers Nikki to step back as he spreads out his arms, offering the Dynamic Duo to bow down and join his cause...or at the very least surrender their chances for this fight. Unfortunately for him, the answer is a resounding kick in to the family jewels by Serenity Scorpio! The champion crumbles to the mat with a look of pure shock and pain rolling through his eyes, as Nikki screams in frustration and connects with a double clothesline to the former tag team champions. Much to her chagrin, they both double back with kip ups to their feet. They take to opposite ropes to the left and bottom side of the ring, and connect with stereo knee kicks to the Amazon! Havoc is able to get up to his feet, but The Dynamic Duo immediately take him off his feet with a Slaying Eliminator double team move! Double dog pile up on the champion and the cover for the win!
ONE….
TWO…..
THR-
KICKOUT! HAVOC KICKS OUT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
HOLY TOLEDO did you see that Caleb?! What a win THAT woulda been for the Dynamic Duo! Pinfall attempt on the champ? These girls are feeling ballsy tonight!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I see what you did there, and I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What? Get your mind out of the gutter, Foster! This is a wrestling match! What? Don’t look at me like that!
The Golden Storm Warriors well, storm the ring once again and break up the already kicked out of finish. In desperation Striker snapmares Jocelyn down and Minami follows up with a dropkick to the face. Scorpio attempts a monkey flip on the rising Time Splitter, but Uiriamu shows incredible athleticism by landing on his feet! Serenity turns around in confusion just in time to meet Jacob as he devastates her with a Last Surprise Slingblade maneuver. Havoc has since rolled out of the ring and seems to be rummaging for a weapon of some sort. Nikki Caldwell gets back into it, shaking the cobwebs off from the dual knee strikes suffered earlier, and eats a dropkick from Striker that sends her into the ropes. The Amazon is able to use this momentum to her advantage however, as she nearly takes off the Naturals head with a bicycle kick! Minami roars into action with a HEAVY forearm blast to the head and neck of Nikki. But the Amazon only budges a little, countering with a heavy right cross of her own! Back and forth they go, Minami and Caldwell with neither gaining a true advantage over the other, until Havoc comes in. Having found himself a steel chair, he snaps it across the back of the World’s Hottest Property as Uiriamu writhes on the mat in pain. Havoc motions for The Amazon to do the honors and finish the match. Havoc holds off the interference of the other three competitors by swinging wildly with the chair, and Caldwell covers one half of the Golden Storm Riders.
ONE!
Havoc slaps the chair across the lower back of Serenity Scorpio as she uncomfortably screams in pain.
TWO!
The fans erupt prematurely into...cheers? Seemingly excited about something going on off screen.
THRE-
THE PIN IS BROKEN UP BY VINCENT LYONS JR!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
No way! It’s The Revolutionaries! And they’ve seen enough! Although technically legal, Havoc using the steel chair in this environment has caused Vince & Victoria with Renee Jonae to come out here and push these transgressions!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It’s bull pucky, Foster! The Ashes of the Wake had this match won! So what, he used a chair? You can’t be disqualified in a triple threat match. But this isn’t right! They’re gonna screw the Ashes with outside interference!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The mental gymnastics you go through my friend, I’m concerned you’ll pull a brain muscle.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Not on your life, Caleb. I get my folic acid!
Arriving on scene with lighting speed, The Lyons Twins have arrived, Victoria with a steel chair of her own. A gutshot to Havoc to disarm her would be attacker. Renee Jonae is also there to start putting the boots to Nikki Caldwell alongside Vincent. While this chaos is ensuing, the lights actually go out for a few brief moments as people are screaming and cameras are flashing trying to get glimpses of what’s going on.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Now what the hell is going on?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Must be one of those Public Safety Power Shutoffs! Either that or Hanson stopped paying the bills. I’d believe both.
When the lights return, a whole grip of druids from the Ashes of the Wake are in the ring, and suddenly the numbers game has shifted in the favor of Havoc and Caldwell. At least three people to one with minions of the Wake clogging the ring with bodies to get the Revolutionaries off their masters. The fans cry out in joy as the cavalry returns to the match, as The Dynamic Duo begin assisting the Revolutionaries to turn the tide against the Druids. Even Jacob Striker & Uiriamu Minami are fighting off a few goons! This alliance is especially short term, however, as it seems like they were only clearing the way to continue their blood feud with Sky & Scorpio! With all this going on, suddenly, "The Reckoning" by Within Temptation plays over the PA System.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And HERE. WE. GO. IT’S THE SOULLESS SISTERS! TITTIES GALORE CALEB!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What the hell is wrong with you?! You’re laughing. There’s complete chaos in the ring and you’re laughing. Do you think this is funny?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I do...and I’m tired of pretending it’s not!
Yes indeed, it’s the Tag Team Champions, The Soulless Sisters. Gwendolyn Black & Charlotte Ross with Lilith Evans in tow rush down to the ring on their own accord. They begin viciously attacking Jocelyn Sky & Serenity Scorpio. Bites, kicks, scratches, you name it, they’re tearing into the former tag team champions. Striker and Minami take offense to this, trying to pry the champions off their opponents to get their own piece in. But more druids get in the way allowing the Order of the Soulless to turn their attention to the Storm Riders and begin beating them down as well. It’s a mess of humanity with numbers advantages switching with every moment depending on who’s able to break free of what clump of bodies in order to assist with whichever brawl looks the bleakest. No quarter is given, no victor is clear. The fighting goes on with officials, security and production staff trying in futility to get some semblance of order out of the donnybrook. The fighting spills to the outside at the introduction of staff, leaving Dynamic Duo alone gathering their wits in the ring. Suddenly the music suddenly sounds like a needle has scratched across the surface of a record which is instantly followed by a different song which catches the Duo’s attention.
The camera cuts to the entrance way where both members of the Shinigami Foundation come walking out onto the entrance way to a heavy mixed fan reaction in the suits that they were wearing for their earlier segment with Alex Slayer raising his arms out to his sides and tilting his head back in his signature crucifix pose while Thomas Bane simply smiles and waves at the Dynamic Duo with a rather arrogant wave before he says something that the cameras are able to catch.
THOMAS BANE
Witness to the age of the fall, witness it all.
But the WWH logo flashes in the lower right hand corner, signifying the show going off the air to the final exclamations from commentary that send us off for the night.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It’s pandemonium here tonight folks! We’ve lost all control. The Ashes of the Wake! The Revolutionaries! The Soulless Sisters! Striker, Minami, Scorpio, Sky! I don’t even see the referee down there anymore, we’re calling it a wash! We gotta go folks! Tune in next week, we gotta sort all this out! Goodnight everybody!
The camera follows him as he opens the door to the stairwell, only to be met with an incredibly accurate superkick! We are lost in the commotion as he is knocked down only to the Banshee, Maggie McIntyre in the doorway and behind her is none other than Sanatorium Shogun entrant for the Navajo Nation, Levi Tsingine.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
You didn’t think I forgot about you almost running me over, did you?
Josh coughs from his place on the ground, quickly realizing what the hell just hit him and who she is accompanied by. Levi says nothing, he just crosses his arms over his chest, letting his companion speak her piece.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Shiiiiiiiit...
Josh half laughs as he pushes himself up to a sitting position, holding his hands up in an effort to show he’s not going to retaliate.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Nah, I didn’t think you forgot--but in all fairness, it was a real asshole move on my part not to apologize sooner than right now. You mind if I get up?
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
That’s not an apology.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
No, it ain’t--so lemme just say right now, Ms Banshee...I’m real sorry I was a prick and almost hit ya with my truck before. It ain’t your fault you ain’t tall enough to see over the hood.
Behind her, Levi raises an eyebrow, amused at the shorter man’s response. Maggie steps forward, holding out a hand to help him up. Josh looks at it dubiously, but sighs and accepts the help.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Don’t have to be tall to be accurate, Josh Kaine, and you don’t have to be tall to be quick. It’s almost funny how easily you can fall into someone else’s trap, isn’t it, Mr. Hunter? One second you’re a hunter walking to get ready to fight your prey and then you open your eyes to realize you’re just someone else’s game. You’re lucky I only wanted an apology and not your head.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
You a hunter too, Miss Maggie McIntyre?
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Nah, I’m a Banshee. He’s the hunter.
She motions back to her companion and the imposing silhouette Levi Tsingine forms in that massive wolfskin coat in the doorway.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Ain’t a Banshee the fairy spirit that howls to signify someone’s doom?
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Something like that. You afraid I’m gonna bring your doom, Josh Kaine?
He chuckles, dusting some of the soot from the floor of the garage off the side of his jeans and shakes his head.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Naw, Miss Maggie, but I wouldn’t complain too much if you went a-wailin’ outside another dark fairy’s doorway. Someone’s gotta tell Renee Jonae what I got in store for her tonight.
His response brings a mischievous grin to the Banshee’s face and she steps back, glancing quickly up to Levi who merely nods.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
I’ll see what I can do, Josh Kaine...but you’re gonna owe me one.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Long as you ain’t wantin’ some sorta blood sacrifice, I think I can probably help ya out.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Nah, not blood. Not this time. You better get going, Hunter. Your match is comin’ up sooner than you think!
Josh doesn’t get a chance to respond before Maggie and Levi move back, allowing the door to close behind them. He moves to twist and pull the handle...only to find that the door won’t budge. It is barred from the other side, preventing him from taking the easiest route up to the locker rooms.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Shiiiiiiiit…
Josh kicks at the door, huffing before he moves to find another exit out of the parking garage and up to the locker rooms so he can prepare for his match as the camera cuts to our opening package!
The stomping beat of 'Get Loud For Me' by Gizzle starts, followed by its heavy yet anthemic guitar riff. Havoc spreads his arms out Messiah-like, showing off the demonic paint that makes his throat look like a monstrous maw, Nikki Caldwell crouched next to him as if readying to charge with a Greek sword in her hands.

We come out of the video opening for the show and Latoya Hixx is already in the ring. Co-GM Noah Hanson is at ringside once again with his notebook and looks to be irritated already....
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Representing Switzerland this is Latoya Hixx...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Well let me check my notes, did she improve any over the last show? Nope. Did she do any work to improve her worth within the company.? Nope...Great just another rinse and repeat match featuring Hixx....and she probably doesn't even know where to find Switzerland on a map...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A little salty already there chief....
Noah turns and glares at Steele who turns away quickly...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Smart move there partner. Well, Hixx didn't fare too well in the last show as she was defeated by Demetrius Lane and now faces Sah'ta Thor....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Thor really? I mean Fenrir was bad enough now we have someone that actually has Thor in their name.....whatever...
"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 the bell much like a caged animal as he waits for the starting bell.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And her opponent representing Norway in the Shogun tournament this is Sah'ta THHHHHHOOOORRR!!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
See I really don't know much about this guy, was before my time here in WWH but he the dude has been impressive so far.
He flips through his notepad and scribbles something down.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
very impressive actually.
The bell rings and Hixx again seems hesitant to go on the attack but Thor has no such problem and goes right after Hixx pummeling her face with a series of lefts and rights and then a series of knees to the gut that doubles over the sultry brunette. Thor continues on the attack pushing Hixx into a corner and then driving another knee into the gut and then whips her into the corner. Thor charges in but Hixx hops onto the top turnbuckle floats over and sunset flips Thor and has a pin...
ONE!
Kickout...
Thor is up before Hixx and runs right through her with a vicious running clothesline that just destroys Hixx...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Well gotta say I love the can do attitude of Hixx but just showing and doing the SAME thing over and over again just won't always cut it you have to bring your very best against some of the talent here or in any company for that matter.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Being a little hard on her Noah?
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Nope just the truth...
Thor looks to be thinking about ending this because well it just looks that way on his face as Hixx drags herself to her feet, ducking a charging Thor but Thor stops dead in his tracks and nails a spinning backfist to the back of the head of Hixx who staggers and then Thor with a savate kick to the side of Hixx's head that causes her to fall to the mat in a heap. Thor pulls Hixx up by the hair but Hixx with an inside cradle....
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Spunk she has spunk I gotta give her that...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah she does have that going for her....
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
But that will only get you so far....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Good point...
Hixx doesn't even get a chance to get to her feet as Thor is already up and nails a running knee right to the face of Hixx who slumps to the mat. Thor walks over the body of Hixx as she rolls over to try and get to her feet but he simply curbstomps her face into the mat and then straddles her back, grabs each arm and crosses them in front of her and then leans back like a straight jacket camel clutch. Hixx quickly submits and Thor drops her body to the mat as the ref raises his hand in the air.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And the winner of the match by submission Sah'ta THOOOOOORRRR!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Like I said the man is impressive....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Hixx has a lot of work to do...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Seems to be that way...
As we come back from break we see Noah Hanson in the ring. He is holding his notebook and is flanked by two men in suits one is of slender build but muscular and the other is massive almost tanklike in appearance. Noah raises his mic to his mouth.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Now since I have all your attention I have a few things that need to be addressed and this is just a good a time as any.
Noah flips a page over in his notebook....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Over the last few months we have been graced, graced I guess by the return of Sah'ta Thor. Ok now, I have been here a bit and I don't know much about Mr. Thor, but I have had to do some research. And well according to WWH historians, he was the International Champ the last time he was here, though my sources can find no history of that in the books of WWH. So Thor is carrying around this other International title, and seems to be under this illusion that just because he has a title from the past that it somehow makes him have some sorta claim to the belt now. Well let me make this perfectly clear, this is not Sanatorium, the inmates DO NOT run MY asylum, and while he might have a title and he might think he has a claim to the International title, he DOES NOT. Now one thing I think Mr. Thor needs to concern himself with is the Shogun tournament, I think you need to focus on that, you're doing great, really showing me a lot, and maybe I can help you out in the future if you do want to challenge for the title. But see I keep saying BUT. See there is one little hiccup, a little bump in your road to the International title and what you desire. His name is Jonny Cedrone, and he actually has a rematch in his clause as being the former champion in this current run. So while I can appreciate Mr. Thor's enthusiasm and desire to get back what he once held, Cedrone gets his chance first, then after Shogun we will re-visit this situation. Oh, and Mt. Thor, if you want to discuss this at some point, feel free to come see me in my luxury box....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Noah is busy tonight sitting in with us, looking over the talent and dealing with drama...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well that is what he was hired to do...
Noah flips a page over on his notebook....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Now I watched the last show and I listened to every little bit of bitching and complaining by our beloved World and Affliction Champion Christopher Sabertooth....oh I know he calls himself Havoc, I know he has aligned himself with Nikki Caldwell, but you know what, he will ALWAYS Sabertooth. He can try his best but he always knows one thing, he is doing everything he has done AFTER I already did them. So Chris, Havoc, whatever you wanna call yerself, know this: you keep calling out the management and I can guarantee you one thing. You will have to deal with the consequences... and this is one of them. You wanna run yer mouth, you wanna call out the management. I was more than ready to let you have the night off to let all the dust settle and let you ready for the challenges to your belts. But you know what, I had an idea, and now you get to see that you no longer have the night off, and you and your little gal pal or whatever she is Queen Maeve, you are gonna team up and you will be competing against....
Noah looks down at his notebook and smiles...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Jacob Striker and Minami....
The fans pop loudly....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
See, normally that might be enough, but you know what, not tonight, as you will also be facing the former tag team champions The Dynamic Duo.....
Noah closes his notebook.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Now mark my words, and this goes to each and every member of the Dystopia roster, I am NOT Paul Sinclair, I am NOT a mouthpiece, you wanna challenge me, you wanna run your mouth. That dog don't hunt...and just in case you think you might wanna come at me in numbers...
Noah looks at the two men standing next to him....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
These boys are hungry to show you what they can do...oh and speaking of Sinclair and Blake, I can't believe I almost forgot about this....
Noah does a crazy look as he reopens his notebook...and then holds up a finger as he flips through the pages.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Next show we are going to have a contract signing for our big match....
“Killin In The Name of” by Rage Against The Machine blares as Noah and his two men exit the ring....
The camera opens backstage to the interview area where Starr Robinson is standing with a microphone. She is looking glamorous in a form fitting dress and a big smile.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | STARR ROBINSON
Ladies and gentleman, my special guest at this time is Becca, “The Beast”…
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
No, no, no.
Mike Mason walks from behind Robinson, and he is dressed in the tightest possible polo shirt. Robinson turns and sees Wildeline walk in from the other side. Robinson is now stuck between the two of them. Wildeline dressed to wrestle, stands like a statue with her arms folded, while Mason chomps on some gum. Mason grabs Starr’s arm and moves the microphone closer to himself.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
No, no, no sweetie. Your guest, for whom speaking with the pleasure is all YOURS, is The Mecca of Manhood, The Titan, The Bod God, The Marvelous One, Michael Mason.
Now, Starr, I have come to grace your presence for one reason and one reason only. That reason is to address the challenge that was laid out to me by “Fatzilla” Demetrius Lane. Normally, I wouldn’t lower myself to competing against such a sweat hog as Demetrius Lane, But that Georgia gloryhole worker has treated my name like he treats glazed donuts, meaning he's been unable to keep it out of his mouth.
So, Demetrius, if you want it you got it. You want to raise your stock and make sure you get a good pay day by working with me on pay per view, I get it, but because what you wish for Demetrius, because all the money you get from your LOSERS share of the purse is going to be all the money you have to spend on your hospital bills.,
Starr slowly moves the microphone away from Mason and back to herself. Starr pauses for a moment and then turns to Wildeline.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | STARR ROBINSON
Becca, tonight you face Victoria Lyons in a match where neither of you have achieved victory in Shogun, what do you think is going to give you the edge tonight?
Starr holds the mc to Wildeline, but before she says anything Mason interrupts grabbing the microphone and pulling it back to him.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Um, excuse me Starr, but this is my time, I’m the Starr here.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | STARR ROBINSON
Actually, this time was allotted to Becca, and….
Starr is cut off as Mason pulls the microphone from her hand and steps a bit in front of her. Starr looks shocked and appalled, and begins to step after Mason, but Wildeline steps in her way. Mason looks over his shoulder at this and smirks.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Starr, you need to learn a woman’s place is to be seen and not heard.
Mason turns to the camera, still with a full smirk.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
There are a lot of little birds out there chirping about The Marvelous One, but no one besides that Albatross Demetrius Lane has stepped up to do anything. So, either keep my name out of your mouth, or when you speak it put some respect on it.
Vincent Lyons, you little pencil necked geek, if you really dislike me so much, if you really want me to shut my mouth, then why don’t you try and shut it? Oh, I know why you won’t, because you are a little bitch, and you know I’ll break you over my knee and have my way with you.
I am the Mecca of Manhood, I am the Bod God, I am the Titan, I am the Big Natty Daddy, and I AM… Simply Marvelous.
Mason shoves the mic back into Starr’s hands and walks off set followed by Wildeline as the scene cuts to ringside.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is part of the Shogun tournament!
♪ Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!♪
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
Some say we’re born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones♪
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, representing Germany and weighing in at one-hundred and ninety pounds…“THE HUNTER”….JOSH KAINE!
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.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent, representing France and weighing in at one-hundred and thirty-five pounds, RENEE JONAE!!
The lights go out as purple smoke goes down the ramp and Jonae walks down with her right hand slightly raised with her index finger up, as if leading the people with her through the dark. There is a faint light around her and “fairy/fay” silhouettes dance within the smoke. She walks up the ring steps and onto the turnbuckle, snapping her fingers to dissipate the darkness and smoke. She stays in place looking at the crowd, then looks to the camera with a wink and smile before descending the corner.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This should prove to be an interesting match, Vince. Both of these competitors are undefeated so far in the Shogun tournament...and Josh Kaine is undefeated since he was signed!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah, and Renee is the number one ranked wrestler on Dystopia currently. This is too close to call at the start.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And this matchup is underway as the referee calls for the bell!
The referee backs up as the two competitors take a moment to appraise each other before Renee Jonae storms out of her corner, but stops about the middle of the ring, changing up the speed of her walk dramatically. The Hunter takes a more defensive stance at first, but seeing his opponent not charging in, he goes on the aggressive attempting to catch Jonae off guard.
Renee Jonae swats the younger opponent to the side and turns to quickly drill a hard forearm shot to the back of the head. Kaine falls to his knees and palms immediately but as Renee comes towards him, he kicks her one foot back, catching the older woman in the gut. Jonae stumbles back and Kaine pushes off his hands, turning with a slight jump… only for Renee Jonae to charge forward and CLOTHESLINE him out of mid-air!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What an incredible move, planting the much larger Kaine onto the mat!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not gonna lie, I’d let her do that to me. It’d be pretty hot.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
You’d get about what you get from any encounter with a woman. A sore jaw.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s tru–hey!
Kaine writhes on the mat, cradling his head between his arms and Renee Jonae closes the distance to grab Josh by the right arm and violently yanks him up to his feet in an impressive show of strength and whips Kaine into the ropes. He comes bouncing back and the Fay Noire lunges to the side, plants her left foot and then swings her right foot up with a VICIOUS side toe kick right into the Hunter’s face! He goes down hard!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Holy hell!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Did you hear the impact?!
The fans roar in reaction to the impact of the kick and the referee starts to count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Josh rolls over on his stomach, clutching at his head, but still isn’t up to his feet.
FIVE!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Kaine needs to dig down deep here and get back to his feet or this one’s over!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah, Kaine, get back up! I wanna see you be Renee Jonae’s punching bag for a bit longer!
SIX!
The Hunter gets up to one knee and he pulls his hand away…no blood to be seen yet. He lets out a slight sigh before standing all the way up, but Renee Jonae is right there! The new Colossus spins him around just as the referee motions for the match to continue. Again Kaine is whipped into the ropes, but rebounds with a sudden explosive burst! Jonae turns just as Josh slams into her, planting his elbow in the older woman’s face to return the favor and they both fall! The fans cheer loudly as the Hunter pushes himself to his feet with a defiant roar and his opponent shakes out the cobwebs on the ground! Kaine bends and pulls Renee back to her feet and sends the older woman flying against the ropes!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And now Josh Kaine is on fire!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It’s because Renee knocked a few of his screws loose!
Kaine springs against the ropes as his opponent rebounds, but Renee Jonae regains herself quickly and hooks Kaine in a front facelock and suddenly snaps under him with an elevated swinging neckbreaker!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
BOOM! Good night!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What a maneuver!
Kaine rolls around, clutching his neck in agony as Renee scrambles after him. Renee Jonae finally catches up to him again and pulls the younger man backward and hooks a leg!
ONE!
TWO!
The Hunter kicks his legs hard and rolls his shoulders off the canvas breaking the count! Renee Jonae quickly yanks Kaine up to his feet by his wrist and sends him into the ropes! Josh rebounds hard and Renee moves to strike but Kaine hits first and smacks into his opponent with a hard elbow to the chin. Renee Jonae collapses to the canvas!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What a great back-and-forth match this is!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
You just gave me a great visual, Steele. Me, with either of those two, back and for–
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Can we PLEASE cut his mic?
Kaine instantly recognizes the opportunity that lies before him and scrambles for the cover!
The referee drops again for the count!
ONE!
TWO!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Renee’s got the shoulder up!
Kaine roars out this time hooking one of his opponent’s legs as the referee begins the count again!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR–
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
NO! THE BLACK FEY KICKS OUT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Unbelievable! These two have such heart!
Kaine rolls off of his opponent and goes to pull her up by the hair, but Renee surprises Kaine and pulls his legs out from under him, putting the younger man on his back. She pounces on the Hunter and mounts her, landing lefts and rights like crazy before Kaine is able to roll over on her side and isolate one of Renee Jonae’s arms. There’s a standoff for just a bit before Renee Jonae makes a move to get out of the position and both are back on their feet again to the tune of the fans cheering.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What a great opening contest here, and this crowd is showing their appreciation!
Kaine lunges forward at Renee but gets caught with a roundhouse kick that sends him staggering. Renee Jonae pauses before she runs at her opponent, her head lowered for a spear, but Kaine’s playing a game of possum! He kicks Renee in the gut and hits her with a hard DDT.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Renee Jonae could have a concussion after this!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Somehow I doubt even that would keep her down!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
That’s…actually a great point.
Josh Kaine gets Jonae up to her feet but Renee fights him off by shoving him away, hitting the ropes, ducking under her opponent’s arm and nailing a flying elbow smash on the rebound! In an attempt to put an exclamation mark on all of that, Renee Jonae jogs over and springboards off the ropes, looking for a moonsault. Kaine rolls out of the way but Renee Jonae lands on her feet, stumbling but catching herself from doing something stupid. Ever the opportunist, the Hunter rolls Renee Jonae up from behind and the referee drops for the count.
ONE-
KICKOUT!
There isn’t even any hesitation as Renee Jonae rolls back up to her feet with Kaine doing the same. With the crowd cheering in the background, the two opponents meet each other with rights and lefts, Kaine getting the better exchange! He keeps punching and punching at the Fay Noire until he backs her into a corner, then he kicks her in the gut, making Jonae slump to the ground. Kaine starts stomping at Renee viciously, eager to make this into a brawl more than anything else until he tops it off by placing his foot against Renee Jonae’s neck and choking her. The referee interjects and Josh Kaine happily lets go, making his way to the other corner.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This is turning violent here! Josh Kaine has snapped!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He broke the hold when the referee told him to, I’d hardly call that snapping.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Let’s get him over here to choke you and see what you call it.
As the older woman gathers herself up in the corner and steps away from the ropes, the referee moves back. The Hunter rushes forward, banking on Renee Jonae’s brains still being rattled, but she is vigilant as ever! She leaps off of the ropes and grabs Kaine’s head with a jumping leg lariat, bringing him to the canvas with such force and sending the younger man sprawling to the ground!
Renee Jonae drops for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Holy hell! France just beat Germany for the first time since World War 2!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And she busted him open good! Kaine’s winning streak is broken!
The crowd erupts as the referee moves to hold up Jonae’s hand and Josh pushes himself up, finding blood is pouring from his nose as he smiles and chuckles to himself. As the cheering continues, the Hunter finds his feet and applauds along with the crowd, giving his opponent her rightful due.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Here is your winner….RENEE JONAE!!
YOUR WINNER BY PINFALL: RENEE JONAE
We open on a shot of The Lyons Twins standing side by side, facing the cameras. Victoria gives a smile, while Vincent looks more serious in his expression, he’s also breathing a little heavy.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Tonight my brother and I….
Before she can finish, Vincent takes a step forward, and interrupts her.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Stephanie Matsuda. We’ll go to war later, this isn’t about you. I want to talk directly to Havoc.
Victoria looks on as her brother's voice gets louder, and more intense.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
A FAILURE?!?! DELUSIONAL??!!? A DEADBEAT WRESTLER?!?! WASHED UP??!?! JOKE OF A CAREER?!? I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU RUBBING MY NAME IN THE DIRT EVERY TIME IT EXITS YOUR LIPS. I AM DONE WITH YOUR INSULTS AND ALL OF YOUR DISRESPECT. YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN REAL REAL FUCKING SOON. UNDERSTAND ME?!?
Victoria places a hand on her brother's shoulder, but he bats it away.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU RESPECT MY NAME HAVOC!!! LOOK INTO MY EYES, YOU KNOW I’M TELLING THE TRUTH!!!! I WILL PERSONALLY BEAT THE RESPECT OUT OF YOU AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT BONES FOR ZOLTON TO PICK APART!!!! UNDERSTAND ME?!?!?! DO YOU??!!? HUH?!!?!?
Victoria grabs her brother's shoulder more forcefully this time, getting his attention.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
WHAT?!!
Victoria pauses, giving her brother a “no-you-didn’t” look.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Don’t you yell at me. You need to calm down, what the hell has gotten into you?
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I’m just tired of Havoc running his mouth and treating me like some sort of joke.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I know...I know, but screaming isn’t going to help. What happened to keeping your balance? Isn’t that your whole deal?
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Havoc is forcing me to focus on the...darker side of my balance.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Well snap out of it, worry about Matsuda for tonight. You’ll get Havoc soon enough. Tonight, just focus on getting that victory over The War Queen.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Big words from someone who hasn’t even won a match. Maybe you should worry about your own match with Becca Wildeline.
Victoria slaps her brother in the face for that comment.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Watch yourself Vincent. I know Havoc has you all out of sorts, but don’t you go lashing at the people who are supporting you.
Vincent sighs, and takes a moment to calm down.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
You're right...I’m sorry. I’m just gonna go, get ready for my match.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I suggest you do that.
Victoria shakes her head slightly, watching as her brother walks off screen, and the scene slowly fades out.
"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.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
In the ring representing The Philippines this is Demetrius GODDDDDDZILLLLAAAA LANNNNEEE!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Lane has been very impressive since he came to Dystopia gotta say the man has the goods....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Where did you come from? Didn't you leave?
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Had to get a drink fellas...calm down...
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.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
All that theatrics and he always seems to come up short, kinda like performance anxiety with the ladies....if he even goes that way....
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Bit salty still eh?
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Do you see the other GM out here at all?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Good point...
Lane still smirking just like he did in his win over Hixx last show comes right after Zolton. Zolton doesn't back down though and stands face to face with the larger Lane and then nods at Zolton and walks back a few steps. Lane and Zolton lock up and even though Zolton has the height advantage Lane is easily able to push Zolton into a corner thanks to his thirty pound weight advantage and then hits a knife edge chop that almost changes the colors of Z's tats on his chest and then a second and then a third. Z doubles over in pain and then gets clubbed over the back by Lane. Lane then pushes Z back vertical and then whips him into the opposite corner and charges in nailing a running senton into the corner. Z falls to the mat and Lane gets to his feet and climbs to the top and just as he gets up he rolls over and sees Lane going up and rolls outta the ring.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Z might have just saved himself right there.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
We might have seen Godzilla fly...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Not something I wanna see...
Lane hops down and Zolton walks around the ring and Lane just leans against the corner, waiting for Z to get back in. He does after a few moments and the two lock up again and Z gets shoved into the ropes and on the return gets dropped by a thunderous shoulder block. Lane pulls Z up and Z with a simple move a thumb to the eye and then a basement drop kick to the knee that drops Lane like Mechagodzilla did back in the day. Zolton looks a little shaky still as Lane is clutching at his knee and Z grabs the leg and drives his knee into the knee of Lane causing Lane to scream in pain. Z grabs the leg and drapes it over the bottom rope and then leaps in the air and lands on it with all his force. Lane screams in pain and then Z with a modified Indian Deathlock and Lane struggles to find a way out and just uses his size to pull his way to the ropes, grabs them and the ref forces Z to break the hold and he does. Lane is using the ropes to get to his feet and Z kicks the good leg and Lane falls to the mat in a heap. Z pulls Lane up and sends him into the ropes, Lane nearly falls doing that and Z comes at him and leaps Lane catches Z in mid air tosses him over his shoulders and then catches him and nails a Samoan drop but Lane's knee is causes him to scream in more pain and Z is now grabbing his back in pain but is still able to get to his feet.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Z has found a way to ground the big man.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Great strategy by Zolton
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah that is why Zolton is one of the more under rated mat wrestlers here in WWH....
Lane is shown hitting the knee, trying to get some blood flowing into the damaged leg. Z is already up and charges at Lane but Lane is able to catch Z, spin and nail a text book spinebuster. Lane pulls Z up and lefts him up for a suplex but them drops him on the top turnbuckle...
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
This could be bad for Z...
Lane folds Z up and looks to hit the “King of the Monsters” (Muscle Buster) but as soon as he lifts Z up the knee gives way and Z lands on top of Lane not in any sort of pinning combo just a heap. Z is able to realize that Lane's knee is an issue and drops a leg across the back of the head of Lane and then slaps on the “Descent into Madness” (Texas Cloverleaf) and well Lane has no where to go and needs to think about the next match and live to fight another day and after a few moments of trying to reach the ropes Lane taps out....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Not to shabby...

I have to say that was a great match to bad both couldn't have won it was a really solid effort by both men!
We cut backstage to follow Josh Kaine as he walks through a long hallway, looking more worse for wear than we’ve seen him before. Despite that brutal match earlier, he looks content...the self-satisfied smile on his face showing no signs of fading. Renee Jonae pushed the Dystopia newcomer almost to his limits and was the first one to evade the hunter’s trap.
From behind him, he hears a voice singing down the hall--reverberating off the cinder block walls.

♪ The mighty hunter thought he found another prey he could ensnare… ♪
We see him turn around quickly enough, finally laying his eye on the Banshee already decked out in her ring gear for her own fourway Women’s Division Showcase match later that night. He raises an eyebrow as she continues her sing-song taunting.

Josh doesn’t reply, just listens to her in amused curiosity. Maggie begins to walk toward him.

It is just then that he interrupts, continuing her song with his own words. He’s not a very good singer, but he gets a bemused smile from the Banshee.

“Beast” by Busta Rhymes begins to play over the PA. the crowd begins to boo. Lavender and gold colored lights begin to flash up and down the entrance way. "Marvelous" Mike Mason steps out onto the entrance ramp with the lights bouncing off the rhinestones of his robe. Mason places his hands on his hips and gives a cocky simile as he looks out over the arena. "The Beast" Becca Wildeline steps out to his side with her arms crossed on her chest and a stern look on her face.
Mason and Wildeline turn their heads and look at each other and Mason nods. Mason begins to walk down the isle with Wildeline following him. Mason climbs the ring steps and walks to one corner and Wildeline climbs to the other, they both pause and take a moment to pose for the crowd. Wildeline moves to the middle of the apron and pulls the top and middle rope open, allowing Mason to step between then into the ring, before she steps in herself. Mason moves to the middle of the ring and drops to one knee and poses while Wildeline stands behind him like a statue with her arms folded across her chest.

Then if that isn’t a big enough thrill I will let you kiss my cheek, and it better be the best kiss you have ever given in your life, because after your match with The Beast, your jaw will need wired shut.
Victoria nods her head and looks angry, but steps forward. Mason nods his head as he tosses the microphone to the ringside attendant and pulls his shirt up to expose his abs. Victoria steps forward and holds her hand out. Then instead of touching Mason’s abs, Lyons slaps Mason across the face.
Mason grabs his jaw in shock and looks at Lyons who says something to him, but Wildeline attacks from behind with a clubbing forearm to the back of Lyons. Wildeline continues throwing clubbing blows as the referee forces Mason out of the ring., and the bell dings.

Lyons fires two more elbows that breaks Wildeline’s grasp and the charges to the ropes. Mason is by the ropes and swipes at Lyon’s feet missing, but is enough to draw the attention of Lyons.
Lyons stops herself on the ropes, and turns and begins yelling at Mason, which draws the referee over who begins admonishing Mason as well. Lyons then turns back to her opponent, but turns right into the grasp of The Beast. Wildeline grabs Lyons in a bear hug and then lifts Lyons up and slams her down with a big belly to belly suplex.

Both women back to their feet, and as they do Lyons lands a forearm smash to the jaw of Wildeline. Wildeline staggers a bit, and Lyon’s delivers a second forearm smash. Lyons goes for a third forearm, but Wideline throws her arms up, blocking the blow. Wildeline then lands a big thrust kick that knocks Lyon’s to the mat.

Lyons vs Wideline has just ended and the camera cuts to the Castle Hill section of the park where the famous Dragon coaster was located. Standing near the entrance to the ride we find Sah'ta Thor standing with his 2016 WWH International Championship over his right shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Here we are at the halfway point of the Shogun Tournament group stage here on Dystopia. We have already determined who is still undefeated to this point. The question though is what will the next show bring for us top contenders? In the end it doesn't matter since I am ready to face anyone still in the bracket. Yet, I will address that matter at a later date. No, this moment is for a pair of other matters.
Thor lifts his hand up to caress the title on his shoulder as his lips become a frown.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
First matter at hand is that I issued a challenge to Matsuda about the so-called International Championship she holds. Yet, nearly a month later I have yet to hear any acknowledgement from her. Though honestly that isn't all that surprising given her focus on the new outreach center that she just opened. What is surprising to me is the complete lack of reaction from the management on this matter. You would think a match of the caliber that I proposed would have caused some reaction yet as of this moment nothing has been said about it. In fact the only mention I have heard about my challenge is in a blog that former WWH star Quint McCain wrote a few weeks back.
With a shrug Thor lowers his hand from the gold surface it had been polishing. His hand falls back to his side as he licks his lips.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Let me make this clear to everyone involved, I am not going anywhere before this matter is resolved. I have issued a challenge that would merge the legacy of the belt I have on my shoulder to the belt that Matsuda currently holds. A legacy that as I have said before has been forgotten. To this point all I have down is speak on my intentions and verbalize my goals. However, the lack of reaction is wearing on my patience. If my words are continued to be ignored I will be forced to take action to get a response. Now I would rather not have to resort to such tactics but I will should my current course continue to garner no reaction.
With those words Thor begins to pace a look of intensity in his eyes.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Now moving onto another matter I have had on my mind. You see, the Shogun Pay Per View is rapidly approaching and I got to thinking about what will come afterwards. The truth is that I have already started to think about that very thing and have come to an interesting realization. In order to achieve what I want to do here in the WWH I understand that I will need back up. Just current Champions, they are all part of a faction. Now this of course could be coincidence but I doubt it.
Thor stops paces and stares directly into the camera with a look of determined intensity on his face.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
With that being said the question is will anyone currently on the roster want to join forces with me? Or will I be forced to bring in allies from outside the WWH? We shall see the answer to that in the coming weeks. Though until then know that I am open to conversations. However, know that at Shogun I will reveal the direction my Imperium will take. Until then nothing has been set in stone.
With that Thor walks through the entrance into the Castle as the camera cuts back to the ring area for the fatal fourway match.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Next we have a Womens' Division Showcase and these four ladies are all very capable in the ring and I am looking forward to seeing them go all out.

I was supposed to have a contract signing here tonight. But it seems that Belladonna Hunter decided not to show up. That's alright because I knew that her coward ways were the truth, but you don't worry, Bella, I plan on somehow making your life a living hell. But until then, I need to focus on something more important than you. Later tonight, I fight someone who I know better than anyone, and that is the man that defeated Havoc. That man is none other than Jonny Cedrone.

Jonny, you and I always seem to cross paths in this ring. This fight will be the third time that you and I are facing off since I've been here. The first one ended in a double count-out, the second one you've beaten me, but the third one is going to be so much different, and you know it. I know deep down in the bottom of your gut that you want to beat me -- but I got bad news for you, man. You're not walking out of this match with your hand raised in the air.
Trust me, I hate breaking the news so early, but these fans deserve to know. They know as do I that your mind isn't focused on me tonight. Spoiling tonight's fight isn't something I want to do, Jonny, but the fans deserve to know. They deserve to know that you got lucky last time we fought. Last time, you beat me, and I am honest enough to admit that. But tonight, you're going to learn a lesson that you shouldn't have beaten me, Jonny, but you did.
He shakes his head after that last saying.

Later tonight, I'm going to right the wrong that was put against me the last time we fought. Tonight, I'm going to put the hurt on you, and you can believe when I say that it's going to hurt.

He turns a corner and behind him, standing ominously in the background is Havoc. He just stands there looking in Cedrone’s direction as Cedrone continues a few steps before stopping. Jonny is now blocking the camera view of Havoc in the background. Feeling a presence behind him, Cedrone slowly lifts his head then slowly turns his head to see where that feeling is coming from. But when Cedrone turns around, Havoc is gone! Jonny turns his head back forward and continues on his way.

Did you see that?!

I…uh.
After the one minute and eight seconds mark, Jonny Cedrone comes walking through the curtains which really get the crowd up on their feet and screaming from the top of their lungs! Jonny 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. Jonny makes his way down the aisle slapping some of the outstretched hands along the way. Once reaching the ring, Jonny makes his way up the steps and walks the apron towards the center. He wipes his feet and makes his way through the ropes.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing next, making his way into the ring. Coming to us tonight from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at two hundred fifty pounds! He is…….JONNNNY CEEEEEDROOOOOOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!
Once inside, he climbs each middle turnbuckle and plays to the crowd getting them pumped up even more! Chris Matthews stands in his corner psyching himself up for the task at hand here tonight! The music fades away as Jonny and Matthews both jump around a little bit and do a little stretching.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It’s a really odd sight to see Jonny Cedrone without that coveted International Championship!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It’s a glorious sight to see him without any gold!!
The bell rings as both contenders begin circling one another. Jonny cracks his neck before Matthews fakes a leg sweep to try to catch him off-guard but Jonny’s too quick as he moves out of the way. Both men lock up in the middle of the ring with a collar-elbow-tie up with Matthews getting the upper hand. He has a headlock cinched in tight on Cedrone. With Cedrone having the weight advantage though, he’s able to push Matthews back towards the ropes and pushes him towards the other side of the ring. Matthews bounces off the ropes on the other side, comes back towards Cedrone who’s waiting on him. Cedrone picks him up high above his head, puts Matthews on display for a few brief moments before sending him crashing down to the mat with a gorilla press slam! The fans go wild with cheers to see Matthews on the mat, writhing in pain! Jonny poises himself in position against the ring ropes and waits for Matthews to get up to his feet. Matthews, grabbing at his back, makes it to his knees then slowly to his feet as Cedrone bounces off the ropes, runs towards Matthews and hits him with a Royal Flush, flipping Matthews inside out! Cedrone goes in for the cover early…

Matthews kicks out right after the ref’s hand hits the mat with the two count!

There’s way more fight left in Matthews, Jacob!

Of course there is! There’s no quit in the man Foster!
Cedrone makes it to his knees as Matthews rolls over onto his stomach. Cedrone grabs Matthews by the hair as Cedrone makes it to his feet. Matthews fights his way to his knees but just as Cedrone thinks he’s in charge, Matthews gouges Cedrone in the eyes, doubling over the former International Champion! The fans rain down on Matthews with a loud chorus of boos!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Ha! Ha! Ha! What a smart move on the part of Chris Matthews, Foster! He knows where he’s at at all times and takes full advantage!
Jonny stumbles his way into a corner, trying to get his vision back. Matthews, still grabbing at his back, makes it to his feet and finds his way over to Cedrone. Matthews starts attacking Cedrone with kicks to the guts. With Cedrone doubling over, Matthews grabs Cedrone by the hair, pulls him out of the corner a little and drops him down with the Twist and Shout! Matthews doesn’t waste much time as he positions Cedrone into a better position. Matthews makes his way through the ropes, to the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Once he positions himself safely at the top, he rises from a crouching position to a standing position, jumps off and connects with a diving elbow drop! Matthews makes the cover…

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Cedrone kicks out at two-and-a-half! Matthews with the win…almost!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He’s wearing the former International Champion down Foster!
Matthews is the first to his feet. He rolls Cedrone over onto his stomach, picks him up by the hair and sets him up on his knees. Matthews takes a few steps back and measures Cedrone up for his next line of offense. Matthews delivers his devastating S.E.A.L. kicks to Cedrone! Dazed and obviously in pain, Cedrone flops to the canvas, but immediately rolls under the bottom rope and onto the outside of the ring, hitting the mats on the outside of the ring with a loud thud. Matthews stands up, looks out at the fans with a huge grin as he’s met with a thunderous chorus of boos.
Matthews waits for Cedrone to get to his feet. He’s slow to do so, but when he does reach his feet, Matthews runs and bounces off the ropes from the opposite side of the ring, runs back towards Cedrone who’s gathered himself up enough to see Matthews coming but not in time to move! Matthews dives through the ropes, Cedrone catches him but the momentum of Matthews keeps Matthews on course for what he wanted to do as he drops Cedrone to the floor at ringside with a destructive DDT!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Oh my God!! Did you hear that thud as Cedrone’s skull cracked like an egg on the concrete floor?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
That had to hurt and hurt bad!! All of Cedrone’s brain matter has to be all over the floor by now – er that is if he had any to begin with!
Matthews gets back to his feet first and disassembles the ring steps. He takes the top half of the steps and starts beating on Cedrone with them. The ref, getting angry at the outright dismissal of the rules, lets Matthews know that there’s law and order to be had in this match and threatens to disqualify Matthews if he doesn’t stop using the steps! Matthews ignores the words of the ref and continues to use them on Cedrone. The crowd meets this with great disdain but calms down a little when the ref comes out and admonishes Matthews for his outright refusal of obeying the rules. Matthews finally drops the steel steps and raises his hands in the air as the ref continues to admonish him. When the ref turns his attention to checking on the condition of Cedrone, Matthews slides in under the bottom rope and plays to the crowd some, who’s greeting him with a boisterous chorus of boos.
Matthews, sporting a huge smile, is extremely proud of what he’s done so far but he’s not finished yet! He sees that the ref is still concerned with Cedrone and Cedrone is trying his best to get up from the attack but he’s grasping at his ribs. Matthews seizes the opportunity and climbs out of the ring on the opposite side from Cedrone, reaches under the ring and pulls out a folded chair. He holds it high in the air to show the fans his intentions.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What does he have planned for that steel chair Jacob?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Anything he damn well pleases Foster!!
Matthews has stalked his way around the ring and has found himself standing at Cedrone’s prone body. The referee tries to stop him from using the weapon but his pleas fall on deaf ears. Matthews winds the chair way behind him and WHAM down across Cedrone’s body hard with the steel chair. Followed by another hit. Then another. And another! A total of ten times, Matthews strikes down hard on Cedrone’s body!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Referee Marilyn Raycole needs to do a better job of getting control of the match!
The referee makes her way back into the ring and calls over Sona Raylee to talk with her. After conversing for a few brief moments, Sona gets on the house mic to make an announcement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been told by Referee Marilyn Raycole that if Chris Matthews doesn’t get in the ring by the count of five – that’s right, by the count of five – she will disqualify him and fine him $25,000 for the blatant disrespect of her authority and inflicting bodily harm to Jonny Cedrone with intentions to maim him!
The fans go completely nuts with approval!!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The referee has to do something in order to regain some sense of control in this match Jacob! Matthews is out of control!!

Just another way to protect that wretched Jonny Cedrone, Foster! I say let them do whatever they want or need to do! This is a travesty!
Incensed, Matthews stops beating on Cedrone with the chair and looks up at the referee. He brushes his hair back out of his face and starts arguing with her. She begins to count…
ONE
TWO
THREE
Matthews sees that arguing with the referee isn’t going to go anywhere, turns his attention back to Cedrone, raises the chair back over his head and WHAM down with the chair across Cedrone’s body once again!
FOUR
Matthews takes a moment to assess his accomplishments before dropping the chair next to Cedrone’s seemingly lifeless body and making his way into the ring just before Referee Raycole makes the count of five. Once inside the ring, he turns his attention towards the referee. He begins stalking her. Every step he takes towards her, she takes a step backwards, admonishing him the entire time, repeating her threats but that does nothing to slow him down. He backs her into a corner, berating and arguing with her. They argue back and forth for a few minutes when all of a sudden – out of nowhere – Jonny Cedrone comes flying into the scene with a Stinger Splash to the delight of the fans as they lose their collective minds! But in the process of crushing Matthews, he inevitably crushed the referee too!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And Cedrone out of nowhere!

Where the hell did he come from Foster??!!
Matthews falls out of the corner and lands on the canvas face first, and the referee crumples to the mat herself into a sitting position in the corner. The fans have reached a fever pitch thinking that their hero has come back from the dead to win this thing when all of the sudden the lights go out to make it as dark as it can possibly can, being where they’re at.

The fans are all abuzz but that buzz turns to boos when the lights come back up an eerie red. Cedrone is now standing in the middle of the ring with Havoc standing behind him. Cedrone looks around confused but never looks behind him. Cedrone slowly turns around and is met with a hard kick to the gut. Havoc hooks an arm, lifts Cedrone up and drives Cedrone down into the mat with a Giga Drill Break!! Havoc gets back up to his feet, looks down at Cedrone and lets out a smirk before looking into the hard camera. His smirk fades to a menacing stare and the lights go back out. When the lights come back up Matthews has made it into a seated position, leaning up against the ropes. The referee is coming to as well, on her knees in the corner still trying to shake out the cobwebs. Matthews looks down at Cedrone confused but a smile begins to grace his face.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER

RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And here is your winner… CHRIIIS MAAATTHEWWWWWS!!!
Matthews, still on his knees forces the referee to raise his hand in victory! Reluctantly she does so, but mere seconds later, from behind Matthews comes Belladonna Hunter with a steel chair and whacks Matthews in the back with ALL her might!!! The fans lose their mind and cheer as she unleashes on Matthews with months of pent-up frustration with chair shot after chair shot!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Is that…Belladonna Hunter?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It is! And she’s giving Chris Matthews the business with that chair!!!
After about ten chair shots Belladonna stops the ambush and lets out a roar, once again to the fans’ delight! With that not being enough, she looks back down at Matthews who’s writhing in pain and reaching up towards Belladonna in a plea for her to stop. Instead of stopping though, Belladonna raises the chair up again and continues her onslaught. Once she feels that that’s enough she drops the chair down by Matthews’s head. Belladonna now in a state of rage so high, she once again lets out a roar as she hastily paces around the ring, grabbing at her hair in a sense of insanity, finally being able to release all of that anger on Matthews after all that time. She stops pacing, looks into the hard camera, then out at the crowd, panting with an intense grimace, then slowly turns her attention back to Matthews. She slowly walks over to him as he makes it to his knees. When he reaches his knees, he tries to beg for forgiveness but Belladonna has none for him! She kicks him in the gut, hooks him up and drives him head first into the steel chair with the Hunter’s Arrow!! The crowd roars in cheers as Belladonna slowly sits up and lets out a huge devilish grin!
After she finally got a little bit of revenge on Chris Matthews, the woman who is known as "Lady Huntress" Belladonna Hunter asks for a microphone from the ring announcer on Dystopia. She did get one but before she could speak, a tall slender man is seen getting in the ring. Miss Hunter okays the man to stand side by side with her. She says right over Mr. Matthews' almost lifeless body.
LADY HUNTRESS | BELLADONNA HUNTER
Chris Matthews, I have enough of you picking on me. I'm so damn sorry for me saying anything about your precious Pandora Barrett so Miss Barrett, I am even more sorry for me saying anything about you. I am going to leave your name out of my mouth because I know that Chris Matthews will want me to breathe my last breath and physically die right in front of him and the fans. I'm here to let you know that it would be an extremely cold day in hell before that happens. Mr. Matthews, we really need to settle this once and for all!! I propose that we face each other in a three in one match. You choose a stipulation and I will choose mine. I've already chose my stipulation and that is inside of the hellish Hell In A Cell!! The third stipulation will be chosen by the fans. Oh by the way Chris, if you ever think about trying to "interfere" in my matches, you will be dealing with my bodyguard here. His name is Hellion. You can pick the second stipulation. See you in hell Chris Matthews!!
The orderlies, along with Hellion, are seen getting Miss Hunter out of the ring and leaving the Dystopia show arena.
Renee Jonae is found seated by a TV monitor backstage, taking it easy after the battle earlier in the night.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Hey Renee, you’re still around?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
If Ashes aren’t done for the night, neither am I. Besides, the next match is one I need to have my eye on.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Right, your friend is facing Stephanie! Actually, Jonny’s also been looking for her as of late.
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
I’m sure he’ll get to her eventually. I’m a bit busy with the Shogun tournament and our war with Havoc, but I haven’t forgotten about her either. I don’t need to chase her, our time will come.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
You, Vincent, and Jonny, you don’t have anything planned for her, do you? Stephanie did say she considers this a three-way war between The Revolutionaries, Ashes, and herself.
Jonae looks at Faith, almost offended by the implication of her wondering if they’d do something to Stephanie.
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
That’s not how The Revolutionaries do things, and double seemingly goes for Jonny. We may share pointers, but the three of us will take our battles with her as separate affairs because we have something called decency. Something our nemesis team does not have, just imagine what would be happening to her right now if we weren’t around to keep Ashes from beating down this locker room one by one! I know Cloud knows this, she’s known that it takes a faction to deal with a faction plenty of times in her history, it seems this time around she’s content sitting in the sidelines and taking her shots at Havoc….after we leave openings for her.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Does that bother you?
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
Not necessarily, or maybe deep down I let it slide because I actually like Cloud. Under different circumstances, I think she and I would be friends. I truly appreciate what she does, helping marginalized communities and giving orphans a place to stay. Most of all, I think the Dynamic Duo members that are always by her side have good heads on their shoulders. However, she seems to think all this lobbying and talking about Havoc is going to get her closer to a championship opportunity. Like it’ll magically manifest in thin air! Take it from a fellow practitioner of black girl magic, Cloud, that isn’t how WWH works!
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Oh!
THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE
When I was Women’s World Champion I beat Havoc in a champion vs champion match, the first person do it, and it didn’t get me an opportunity because the line is that long! It’s not that easy to get yours in this company! That’s why I fight through this Shogun tournament and I beat Havoc’s number one contender! She’s not even third in line for Havoc, two people have pinned him now and Zolton’s already got a guaranteed shot. With all due respect to everyone in the back, they all need to stop playing games! Check the damn rankings and know who has pinned the nightmare champ! Aside from the World Tag Team Championships, I am the rightful first in line for EVERY championship with the word world in this company! Be it Women’s or everyone’s!
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
What a fiery response! The match you’re waiting to see is about to start, so I’ll leave you be, thanks for the talk Renee!
Faith takes her leave, and Jonae stares at the monitor waiting for Vincent Lyons Jr vs Stephanie Matsuda to start.
The lights in the arena go out and the arena is completely dark. Instead of Matsuda or Lyons Jr's themes, “The Man” by Aloe Blacc begins to play over the PA. The crowd begins to boo as Mike Mason walks out to the entrance way. His chest glistens in the spotlight as his shirt has been removed. Mason makes his way to the ring, looking as cocky as only he can.
Mason takes the middle of the ring and the house lights come up as the music fades out.The boos from the crowd almost drowned Mason out.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Now, now now, you all should be thanking me for my generosity. I thought it over and it wouldn't be fair of me to deny you brick building bimbos the chance to make your wildest dreams come true and touch this beautiful body. I will even go so far as to let you chapped lip lego lickers place your lips upon my chiseled jaw.
The crowd begins to boo once again as Mason smiles.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Also, you can rest at ease knowing that The Beast is in the back, so you can lay your hands and your lips on the Bod God without fear of being smited. So, which lucky lady will get to experience the Mecca of Manhood?
The men in the crowd begins to boo, and some girls begin to cheer, while some also boo. Mason scans the crowd, and finally stops and points to a tattooed brunette. The dark haired woman is sitting ringside, and is helped across the security railing by a ringside attendant. She climbs into the ring where she walks more confidently to Mason than Mason would expect.
Mason smiles at her confidence and looks her up and down before speaking to her.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
And, who might you be?
The brunette is tall for a woman, could perhaps even reach Mason's cheek without making him bend down. She gives him a beaming, bright smile.
WOMAN
I'm Angelica Ambrose.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Well, Angelica tonight is going to be the most memorable night of your life, because you get to lay a hand on the abs so cut that even Brad Pitt in Fight Club is jealous of these genetics.
Now, first you are going to need this.
Mason reaches into his back pocket and hands Angelica a bottle of hand sanitizer.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
I’ve got to make sure you clean that filth that you have touched her tonight off of your hands before you touch the phenomenal abdominal.
Her smile sort of freezes on her face as if this is unexpected, but she shrugs it off and takes the bottle and squirts some in her palm, rubbing it through her fingers evenly.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
... sure, why not, I mean the times we're living in now, right? Hah, heh.
Mike Mason takes her right hand and inspects it thoroughly, before releasing it.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
You may now lay your hand upon my body.
Angelica places her hand upon Mason’s rock hard stomach, and gives a face of being impressed. After only a moment Mason grabs her hand and slowly removes it.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Now, would you like to place your lips upon my marvelous cheek?
Before she can even answer Mason answers for her.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Of course, you would.
Mason then leans over sticking his jaw out. Angelica leans him to him but at the last moment Mason pulls away and steps back with a disgusted look on his face.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Do you really think I would let you lay your lips upon me? I’m going to have to take a shower as soon as I get to the back just from your filthy hands touching my body. You are a vile creature and you disgust me. You do not even deserve to breathe the same air that I do.
Angelica's hand comes to her upper chest and her eyebrows raise, aghast.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
What an atrocious thing to say, you don't even know me!
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Everything I need to know about you I already known simply by looking at you. I know that whole amazon sized woman thing has a niche with some weird little sissy boys who like to be dominated in the bedroom, but honey I’m not into s&m, I don’t have mommy issues.
Your trash tattoos and your hideous goth girl makeup don’t do enough to cover up that busted face baby. Clearly, you got something to hide, clearly deep down you aren’t happy with yourself, and clearly you...are not...MARVELOUS!
Mason holds his arms out wide and slowly turns for the crowd to view his body.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
Well, that's certainly a brave thing to say...
Her hand falls away from her chest, her eyebrows fall into a nearly predatory glare, and her voice drops into its natural British intonation.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
...to the new CEO of the company. You see, I wanted to watch the show from the point of view of the audience to really get a feel for our product, and you've certainly given me something to think over, Mason.
Mason scoffs and looks at her with a look of disbelief.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
You… you expect me to believe that you are the new CEO of World Wrestling Headquarters? Come one, let’s be serious. You don’t look like you could even manage a McDonald’s let alone run a major company like this. Your idea of being CEO here is just like the thought of you kissing the Marvelous One, nothing but your wildest fantasy.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
Uh... huh... Hey, our audio-visual crew, can you do me a favor and cue up what you were previewing for me just before the show?
There's a moment's pause, and then on the tron up comes a bespoke entrance video for Angelica set to Bryce Fox's "Horns"--
There are clips from a career, elsewhere and long enough ago for her to have fewer tattoos. Superkicks and Gory neckbreakers against other women and men alike.
♪ She got horns like a devil pointed at me
And there's nowhere to run from the fire she breathes ♪
There are also studio shots of her in what could best be described as goth-business-casual. And sure enough, flickering in there along with her name is her title-- CEO.
When the camera's attention comes back to Mason and Angelica, she looks quite smug. The shot focuses on Mason, who is seen gulping, his Adams apple sinking down his throat. Mason then slowly smiles and gives a nervous laugh.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Obviously, I was just kidding around. Ya know how us men are, a little mean to a girl we like, in a way of flirting. I mean… who doesn’t like a woman who can almost stand nose to nose with him and look him in the eye. And… uhhh, those tattoos, such wonderful artwork. Your makeup, it is so….
Mason is cut off as Angelica holds her hand up. Mason clearly looks nervous.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
Don't worry, Mason, you're not in trouble... yet. But my eye is on you now. It might behoove you to remember who pays your exorbitant paycheck...
She raises an arm and gestures around to the fans, who whoop and cheer at the acknowledgment.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
And who signs it. Now come over here and give mama a kiss on the cheek, hmm?
She leans, offering the side of her face, wearing an amused expression. Mason closes his eyes tightly and leans in slowly to kiss Angelica’s cheek, but she stops him, holding her finger up to his lips.
ANGELICA AMBROSE
On second thought, Mike, you've got a dirty mouth. But you know who I bet could teach you some good manners? Demetrius Lane. You will be facing him at Shogun.
Mason’s eyes fly open and are as wide as saucers. His jaw drops in shock and Bryce Fox's "Horns" begins to play again as the camera focuses on Mason’s shocked face as the scene fades to commercial.

Trailed by manager Monica Vaughan, Matsuda walks on stage and crouches low, getting ready for her match. 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. She then climbs the nearest turnbuckle, pulls down her bandanna, as she stares into the crowd. Matsuda retreats to her corner, her gaze fixated on her opponent.

As the bell rings, both competitors snap into action.
Vincent tries to get in a tie-up, but Matsuda tries to back away from it. As Vincent tries another tie-up, Matsuda uses her quicker reflex to keep the larger opponent away. Lyons moves under and attempts a leg sweep, but the sturdy frame of Matsuda takes the impact and comes up and over with a chop. Vincent falls back to the mat and Matsuda leaps up in the air and comes down onto the face of her opponent with a hard closed fist. The audience yells in approval as the referee looks at Matsuda and admonishes her for the shot. The champion shrugs as she stands up. Lyons gets to a seated position, holding his head. Matsuda gets wise and throws a hard soccer kick towards Vincent, but the Young Lion pulls off a sweep and knocks the taller opponent on his back! Lyons flips himself up and the crowd boos as VYJ goes into a cartwheel into a roundoff. Lyons floats into a backflip and drops an elbow across the sternum of Matsuda!

As Vincent keeps trying to break the hold, Matsuda is doing all she can to keep the hold cinched. However, Vincent uses his ring awareness to grab a hold of the ropes. The referee snaps down and orders the champion to break the hold. Matsuda complies and shakes her head in frustration. The audience lets their disappointment be known, as well. As Lyons gets to his feet, Matsuda gets the jump and plants a hard superkick to the jaw!

The camera opens to The Dynamic Duo - Serenity and Jocelyn - talking amongst themselves backstage. Both women wear frowns on their faces, as if they were upset about something. An exhausted Stephanie Matsuda walks into view with her wife, Monica Vaughn. The War Queen observed her proteges for a moment before speaking.
THE WAR QUEEN | STEPHANIE MATSUDA
You guys okay?
Serenity sighs and shakes her head.
DAUGHTER OF THE SCORPION | SERENITY SCORPIO
No we're not okay. We don't want to be Noah Hanson's hit men. We just want our titles back.
JOCELYN SKY
This stuff with The Ashes doesn't involve us. We defeated Striker and Minami to earn a shot at getting our belts back. Instead, we're lumped into [/font]
THE WAR QUEEN | STEPHANIE MATSUDA
Guys, sometimes things don't go the way you want it to. You're the number one contenders. That in itself is quite an accomplishment. You have a second chance to make things right. But sometimes, you're gonna have to keep fighting. This is your chance to prove to everyone that you're not only the well deserving tag team champions, but not even The Ashes of the Wake can stand in your way. You girls ready to shock the world?
Serenity and Jocelyn look at each other and smile. Matsuda nods and places a hand on each girl's shoulder.
THE WAR QUEEN | STEPHANIE MATSUDA
Now go out there, kick ass, and make momma proud.
The Duo nod and walk off to prepare for their match. The camera lingers on Matsuda for a moment who turns to Monica and places an arm around her wife.
The screen cuts to somewhere else-a high end gambling den of some sort where a pair of expensive shoes effortlessly glide across the fine carpet of the establishment before the camera’s angle shifts to a view of a Japanese man in a respectable looking white suit, his reddish tinged hair swaying slightly with each and every step as the camera shifts again to him approaching a bar before picking up a malt glass and taking a drink from it before turning casually to look at the camera
MAN
They say that pride goeth before the fall, bigger the pride equals bigger the fall. It truly troubles me that two people so young could bear so much pride in their young voices...speaking with such haughty arrogance that it is unbecoming of them.
The man takes another drink from his glass before he swirls the amber liquid in the clear crystal glass around, watching it swirl slightly before turning his eyes back to the camera as he slowly sets the glass back down.
MAN
Allow me to be the first to introduce myself to the wider world that is the World Wrestling Headquarters.
My name is Thomas Bane and for quite a while, the fine people here a part of the Dystopia brand have called my home, Night City, their base of operations and I have watched it with great amusement and I have stayed my hand...until now.
Now, my partner and I have come to the World Wrestling Headquarters because we wish to prove a point and that point is that you don’t have to swing some fancy belt around to be dominant. You are dominant by showing your true strengths no matter the cost.
Bane sets his left forearm onto the bar and leans slightly as he starts to motion with his right hand around at the room around him.
THOMAS BANE
Once upon a time, I thought that the mere capturing of gold meant that you were dominant...and with that belief came a certain arrogance, one that only grew with each victory that I obtained. It grew like a great cancer within me until someone came along to correct this belief as my will was nearly broken and I was close to giving up several times, but not giving up and having the bravery to step forward has made me who I am.
Look to the greater glory of Havoc for such an example of a belief.
But my partner and myself, we respect the power of change that Havoc has but we are not his followers...but does one need to be a follower to have respect for another? This is a fact that some of the newer members of Havoc’s flock do not truly grasp yet.
When you understand the truth of a thing, you can become enlightened...just like myself and my partner.
Bane turns his head to the right with a knowing smile and a nod at which point the camera’s view shifts to a poker table where a masked dealer places two cards down in front of another Japanese man, this one more recognizable to the fans of Pro Wrestling Nova as none other than the “Rated R Reaper” himself, Alex Slayer. He is also dressed in a very respectable looking black suit
RATED R REAPER | ALEX SLAYER
Thomas is right, as he usually is about such matters. But of course those who know me know that I am of a more martial belief that if you live by the sword, then you die by the sword.
Which brings me to the two of you, the twin daughters of the War Queen. You preach of how superior you are and yet...how is that superiority treating you outside of this company? Do you regularly bring great glory to your teacher’s name or do you squander chances given to you?
Alex looks at the two cards given to him by the masked dealer and then gives his signature confident smile as he lowers them back down
RATED R REAPER | ALEX SLAYER
Can the two of you be dominant in defeat as you are in victory, can you be humble in victory as you would be in defeat?
The smile disappears from Alex’s face as he slowly shakes his head.
RATED R REAPER | ALEX SLAYER
I think not, for neither one of you see nor do you wish to see any kind of truth past the glory of gold. Yes, you worked hard to become the world tag champions here...but tell me true, young ladies...what are you willing to sell for that chance at golden glory again?
In the end, I don’t think either one of you will like that answer when it comes due.
We have come here to this company to face off against the best in the world...we don’t fully care for the championships because what is the glory of gold without the fury of defeating opponents actually worthy of being called champions? Thomas and I understand that better than anyone else on this roster because we have come here to face the best in the world.
Diamond Dogs, Soulless Sisters, Ashes of the Wake, Beauty and the Beast, Lobos de la Muerte, the Order of the Soulless, Tiger Towers, and the Spooky Scary Skeletons.
Thomas steps into the camera’s view to the poker table opposite of Alex as he motions at the empty seats around the table.
THOMAS BANE
There is always a chance to play for our stakes, and while they are not for any titles yet...if one wishes to brag about how superior a player they are in the Game...then come and play at our table.
Bane’s face takes on the same confident smile that his partner has on his face.
THOMAS BANE
After all, what is life without a little risk...especially when you live by the sword?
The camera then cuts out.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is the MAIN EVENT of the evening! It is to be contested under Triple Threat, Texas Tornado Tag Rules! All three teams will be in the ring at the same time. And the first pinfall or submission will be declared the winner!
The hard bassline of William Murderface starts to echo throughout the arena as the lights in the arena fade save for four pale blue spotlights that bathe the entrance way in their light as smoke starts to bellow up around the entrance way as Dethklok's "Face Fisted" begins to play.
<I am be dangerous now>
<Not me hurt>
<When stair fell down>
<Me pushed by you>
<Me hit head>
<Me nose broke>
<Soon you be dead>

<So strong my face is>
<You punch break fingers>
<Kick me you're limping>
<Stab me you're bleeding>
<I am be dangerous now>
<You throwing rock at me>
<Hit eye and it no hurt me>
The smoke dissipates to reveal a shadowy figure doing a crucifix pose before he throws his arms down and the lights then blaze back to normal as Uiriamu Minami starts his walk down to the ring as the official video for Face Fisted plays, interjected with scenes of Uiriamu's past wrestling history.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
He is "Wrestling's Hottest Property!!", UIRIAMU MINAMI!!!
Uiriamu strides down to the ring as the crowd continues to cheer him on before he gets to the ring side area and pulls up his signature shades before he he heads over to the ring steps and then bangs on it a couple of times to get himself more psyched up before he gets into the ring and climbs up the nearest turnbuckles as the lights over the ring turn on to the pale blue to bathe him in it once more as he throws his arms out to the cheers of the crowds before he makes like he's checking his watch on his right wrist before the lights go back to normal and he hops down from the turnbuckle and moves to the center of the ring, awaiting his opponents as he removes his outer gear.
As the fans are speaking amongst themselves in the arena, suddenly an accented man's voice explodes from the PA system which quickly catches the fans' attention
TYBALT
Peace? Peace. I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
As the man's voice then fades into a powerful instrumental as the faint words of a speaker can be heard before the instrumental explodes fully into existence.
VOICE
And during the few moments that we have left we wanna talk right down to earth in a language, that everybody here can easily understand.
♪ Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you wanna be!! ♪
As GEARS' cover of "Cult of Personality" explodes, the fans send up a large face pop as the "Real Rock'n'Rolla" himself-the "Natural" Jacob Striker-strides out of the entrance way where he stops in the middle of the stage to pull down his signature face mask with a look of intense concentration on his face before it breaks out into a rather confident, predatory smile before he starts to make his way down to the ring as a set of pyro goes off at the sides of the stage.
♪ I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
♪ Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free ♪
Jacob walks down to the ring, high fiving the occasional fan as he goes, and heads to the far end of the ring where he quickly hops up onto the ring apron, and then draws his right thumb across his throat slowly before throwing up that hand into the air in a "too sweet" motion before he ducks under the top and middle ropes into the ring where he starts to get out of his ring gear while keeping an eye out for trouble.
♪ I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your TV

I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three ♪
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his tag team partner! Weighing in at 230lbs. He hails from Sleepy Hollow, New York! He is “The Natural” Jacob Striker!
“Here” by Alessia Cara plays as the lights dim and change to a purple hue. Serenity Scorpio walks out, trailed by her tag partner Jocelyn Sky. Both women pose back-to-back on the stage as they receive a good amount of fanfare.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
From Brooklyn, NY! “The Daughter of the Scorpion” Serenity Scorpio and Jocelyn Sky, they are the Dynamic Duo!!!
The Dynamic Duo walks towards the ring in unison, giving high fives to the fans along the way. Serenity gives her partner a fist bump before jumping up to the apron and posing for the crowd against the ropes. She leans her back against the ropes and backflips into the ring. They both wait in corners opposite Striker & Minami and prepare for their match.
The crowd begins to rise as the opening of In This Moment's "Comache" hits the PA system. The Amazon appears on the stage, wearing a black and red leather hooded ring jacket with jutting scale-armor style shoulders, the Asylum Championship around her waist. Wardog Roo, a French Mastiff, unrestrained and heeling at her side.
♪ Will you come with me?
Will you stand with me?
Would you follow me?
Would you believe with me?
Tell me you’ll bleed with me!
Tell me you’ll die with me! ♪
She strides to the top of the ramp and stops as the lights all hone in on her from different angles. She whips the hood back to reveal her face, stained with warpaint, and lets out a long war scream as audience members and Roo join her!
♪ Come on, get up
Let me hear your war cry! ♪
Nikki leaves Roo off leash at ringside and climbs through the ropes and runs to the opposite corner, jumping up onto the ropes and raising a fist, enjoying some of the reaction from the crowd before jumping back down. She hands her belt off to the referee and removes her jacket, quickly squaring off with her gameface awaiting the arrival of her partner.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Weighing in at one hundred forty seven pounds. She hails from Themiscyra, Anatolia, Turkey. She is the Asylum Champion, representing Ashes of the Wake….Nikki Caldwell!
The lights go out in the arena as the crowd waits in anticipation for the arrival of the Nightmare King. A red spotlight appears near the curtains as smoke engulfs the entire stage.
“Delusions of Savior” by Slayer hits the PA System as men and women donning face paint crawl out of the smoke and surround the stage for the arrival of ‘their savior’.
“Repentless” by Slayer kicks in with strobing red lights, as Jada Blaire steps out of the smoke with a menacing grin followed by the stone faced Havoc with a barbed wire baseball bat in hand. All the men and women around the stage bow at his presence as Havoc slowly makes his way down the ramp accompanied by Jada Blaire, and the strobing red lights lighting their path. He places the bat at ringside before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and embraces the negative crowd reaction with a smirk on his face.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And finally, weighing in at two hundred fourteen pounds! He is the Affliction Champion, The World Heavyweight Champion! Representing the Ashes of the Wake! He is the Nightmare King, Havoc!
DING DING DING
It’s Texas Tornado Rules so it’s no surprise when all hell breaks loose and all six competitors go at it from the start. The Ashes of the Wake in the form of Nikki Caldwell & Havoc immediately impose their will pushing against the opposite two teams, backing them up into the left hand corners and wailing away at the Dynamic Duo and the Golden Storm Riders respectively. Unfortunately despite the menace of their aura, the very real situation of having two on one from each side catches up to the haughty heels in short order. Jacob Striker is able to grasp onto the head of Havoc with a leg trapped guillotine choke. Havoc still holds his prey up in the corner as he punches at the ribs of The Natural. But Uiriamu Minami kicks away at the back of the knees of the Worlds Champion and the numbers game catches up on Havoc with the Rider’s own storm of blows taking him down to the mat.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not exactly the most intelligent move to start off this contest. The Ashes of the Wake must believe their individual prowess is enough to take on everyone individually! Pride comes before the fall.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look if Havoc and Nikki really thought these chumps were worth their time they could break ‘em in half in a minute! It’s the Asylum Champ with the Affliction Champ, the WORLD Champ in there! They practically run this place!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Noah Hanson would beg to differ on that my friend. That’s why this match was signed to begin with! To put the champions to the test!
At the other corner, Nikki seemed to be enjoying her ability to pummel both Jocelyn Sky & Serenity Scorpio back and forth as the tenacious team kept coming back at her for more, strike after strike. Nikki punches Serenity through the ropes, who catches herself on the apron. Caldwell headbutts Jocelyn away. But when she turns her attention back to Scorpio, a Pendulum Kick awaits which stuns the Amazon into the corner. Serenity slips back in and drops to all fours, allowing her partner Sky to run to the other side of the ring and immediately connect with some Poetry In Motion to the Asylum Champion!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Say what you will about the Dynamic Duo, I just love to watch those girls move in the ring. Hnnrgh.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
As tough as they are agile as they are skilled in tag team action. One could argue they are the most uniquely positioned team to win this one, on experience alone!
The Dynamic Duo play up to the crowd for their temporary victory. But what they don’t notice is while Jacob Striker is well...striking with great proficiency against Havoc in the corner, The World’s Hottest Property Mr. Minami has now turned his attention to their tag team rivals. He taps Serenity on the shoulder and turns her around, drilling his charge with a Chidori Superman Punch! Jocelyn tries to counter with a roundhouse kick, but Uiriamu is like a house of fire. Ducking underneath the blow he hits the ropes and bounces back with a handspring back elbow, taking Sky down! He goes for the first cover of the match!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT BY JOCELYN SKY!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Just as I say that the Golden Storm Riders really coming into their own at this portion of the match! Neutralizing Havoc, waiting for Caldwell to be taken care of and now moving in for the kill against the former tag team champs. They almost had it right there, Jake!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look you said it before right? The Dynamic Duo are tough cookies. But like hard tack on the ol dusty trail, trying to end them early is only going to leave you feeling unsatisfied!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I have no idea what that means but I’m going to assume it’s compelling.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
As you should, Caleb! I’m a national treasure!
Minami rises from his feet and clenches his fist, screaming into the ceiling as his body courses with adrenaline. Unfortunately as is par for the course with these kind of affairs, any advantage is short lived. As Nikki Caldwell comes back into the thick of things and absolutely FLOORS The Hustle Supernova with a spear! Jacob Striker finally takes his attention off Havoc long enough to see his partner in trouble, but the savvy World Champion trips him up and causes him to fall on his face in the attempt to catch The Amazon off guard. She sneers in the direction of the Natural, lifting him up with freakishly little effort as she drops him right back on the back of his head with a head drop uranage! Caldwell screams a war cry of her own as she exclaims “You WILL remember who I am!”
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Caldwell feeling more than a little let’s say, slighted at the comments made about her earlier by Striker & Minami leading up to this match. Certainly seems to put a little more pepper behind those attacks against her targets of the moment!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Nikki is not one to piss off, Foster. Looks like Havoc is coming back into it as well. Oh man do these guys look scary. Look at em! You can cut the tension in the air tonight with a knife!
Havoc joins his Ashes of the Wake compatriot in the middle of the ring. They continue to spread their menacing aura with their mere presence in the ring. Looking around to see who is going to get up first and challenge their position. Turns out to be the Dynamic Duo themselves, as the fans rabidly try to get behind the babyfaces. Havoc laughs at the thought of these two being able to challenge the awesome might of the double champions. He ushers Nikki to step back as he spreads out his arms, offering the Dynamic Duo to bow down and join his cause...or at the very least surrender their chances for this fight. Unfortunately for him, the answer is a resounding kick in to the family jewels by Serenity Scorpio! The champion crumbles to the mat with a look of pure shock and pain rolling through his eyes, as Nikki screams in frustration and connects with a double clothesline to the former tag team champions. Much to her chagrin, they both double back with kip ups to their feet. They take to opposite ropes to the left and bottom side of the ring, and connect with stereo knee kicks to the Amazon! Havoc is able to get up to his feet, but The Dynamic Duo immediately take him off his feet with a Slaying Eliminator double team move! Double dog pile up on the champion and the cover for the win!
ONE….
TWO…..
THR-
KICKOUT! HAVOC KICKS OUT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
HOLY TOLEDO did you see that Caleb?! What a win THAT woulda been for the Dynamic Duo! Pinfall attempt on the champ? These girls are feeling ballsy tonight!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I see what you did there, and I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What? Get your mind out of the gutter, Foster! This is a wrestling match! What? Don’t look at me like that!
The Golden Storm Warriors well, storm the ring once again and break up the already kicked out of finish. In desperation Striker snapmares Jocelyn down and Minami follows up with a dropkick to the face. Scorpio attempts a monkey flip on the rising Time Splitter, but Uiriamu shows incredible athleticism by landing on his feet! Serenity turns around in confusion just in time to meet Jacob as he devastates her with a Last Surprise Slingblade maneuver. Havoc has since rolled out of the ring and seems to be rummaging for a weapon of some sort. Nikki Caldwell gets back into it, shaking the cobwebs off from the dual knee strikes suffered earlier, and eats a dropkick from Striker that sends her into the ropes. The Amazon is able to use this momentum to her advantage however, as she nearly takes off the Naturals head with a bicycle kick! Minami roars into action with a HEAVY forearm blast to the head and neck of Nikki. But the Amazon only budges a little, countering with a heavy right cross of her own! Back and forth they go, Minami and Caldwell with neither gaining a true advantage over the other, until Havoc comes in. Having found himself a steel chair, he snaps it across the back of the World’s Hottest Property as Uiriamu writhes on the mat in pain. Havoc motions for The Amazon to do the honors and finish the match. Havoc holds off the interference of the other three competitors by swinging wildly with the chair, and Caldwell covers one half of the Golden Storm Riders.
ONE!
Havoc slaps the chair across the lower back of Serenity Scorpio as she uncomfortably screams in pain.
TWO!
The fans erupt prematurely into...cheers? Seemingly excited about something going on off screen.
THRE-
THE PIN IS BROKEN UP BY VINCENT LYONS JR!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
No way! It’s The Revolutionaries! And they’ve seen enough! Although technically legal, Havoc using the steel chair in this environment has caused Vince & Victoria with Renee Jonae to come out here and push these transgressions!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It’s bull pucky, Foster! The Ashes of the Wake had this match won! So what, he used a chair? You can’t be disqualified in a triple threat match. But this isn’t right! They’re gonna screw the Ashes with outside interference!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The mental gymnastics you go through my friend, I’m concerned you’ll pull a brain muscle.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Not on your life, Caleb. I get my folic acid!
Arriving on scene with lighting speed, The Lyons Twins have arrived, Victoria with a steel chair of her own. A gutshot to Havoc to disarm her would be attacker. Renee Jonae is also there to start putting the boots to Nikki Caldwell alongside Vincent. While this chaos is ensuing, the lights actually go out for a few brief moments as people are screaming and cameras are flashing trying to get glimpses of what’s going on.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Now what the hell is going on?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Must be one of those Public Safety Power Shutoffs! Either that or Hanson stopped paying the bills. I’d believe both.
When the lights return, a whole grip of druids from the Ashes of the Wake are in the ring, and suddenly the numbers game has shifted in the favor of Havoc and Caldwell. At least three people to one with minions of the Wake clogging the ring with bodies to get the Revolutionaries off their masters. The fans cry out in joy as the cavalry returns to the match, as The Dynamic Duo begin assisting the Revolutionaries to turn the tide against the Druids. Even Jacob Striker & Uiriamu Minami are fighting off a few goons! This alliance is especially short term, however, as it seems like they were only clearing the way to continue their blood feud with Sky & Scorpio! With all this going on, suddenly, "The Reckoning" by Within Temptation plays over the PA System.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And HERE. WE. GO. IT’S THE SOULLESS SISTERS! TITTIES GALORE CALEB!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What the hell is wrong with you?! You’re laughing. There’s complete chaos in the ring and you’re laughing. Do you think this is funny?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I do...and I’m tired of pretending it’s not!
Yes indeed, it’s the Tag Team Champions, The Soulless Sisters. Gwendolyn Black & Charlotte Ross with Lilith Evans in tow rush down to the ring on their own accord. They begin viciously attacking Jocelyn Sky & Serenity Scorpio. Bites, kicks, scratches, you name it, they’re tearing into the former tag team champions. Striker and Minami take offense to this, trying to pry the champions off their opponents to get their own piece in. But more druids get in the way allowing the Order of the Soulless to turn their attention to the Storm Riders and begin beating them down as well. It’s a mess of humanity with numbers advantages switching with every moment depending on who’s able to break free of what clump of bodies in order to assist with whichever brawl looks the bleakest. No quarter is given, no victor is clear. The fighting goes on with officials, security and production staff trying in futility to get some semblance of order out of the donnybrook. The fighting spills to the outside at the introduction of staff, leaving Dynamic Duo alone gathering their wits in the ring. Suddenly the music suddenly sounds like a needle has scratched across the surface of a record which is instantly followed by a different song which catches the Duo’s attention.
The camera cuts to the entrance way where both members of the Shinigami Foundation come walking out onto the entrance way to a heavy mixed fan reaction in the suits that they were wearing for their earlier segment with Alex Slayer raising his arms out to his sides and tilting his head back in his signature crucifix pose while Thomas Bane simply smiles and waves at the Dynamic Duo with a rather arrogant wave before he says something that the cameras are able to catch.
THOMAS BANE
Witness to the age of the fall, witness it all.
But the WWH logo flashes in the lower right hand corner, signifying the show going off the air to the final exclamations from commentary that send us off for the night.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It’s pandemonium here tonight folks! We’ve lost all control. The Ashes of the Wake! The Revolutionaries! The Soulless Sisters! Striker, Minami, Scorpio, Sky! I don’t even see the referee down there anymore, we’re calling it a wash! We gotta go folks! Tune in next week, we gotta sort all this out! Goodnight everybody!
