Desperate Warfare!

Live from the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas Nevada

The show starts with the CWF’s patented drone camera run, this time it starts with a pass around the outside of the stadium, showing the city around it as well. The drones continue their flyby, as fireworks start to go off around the outer edge. 

Then the scene cuts to the inside of the stadium, as other drones take over. It shows the field is covered with seating, the ring. The long rampway going to an extended stage. The extension appears to have a band setup on it. 

The graphics show that we’re in the Allegiant Stadium, and it’s the largest CWF crowd to date… 62, 584 tickets have been sold for the event. 

One of the drones comes up to the ring, where Eric Wilson is standing by in a tuxedo. 

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen… Welcome to CWF Presents… DESPERATE WARFARE! Live from our home town of Las Vegas, Nevada in the Allegiant stadium! I’m your ring announcer for tonight, for the final show of Season 3 for the Conquest Wrestling Federation. After this the CWF will be heading into Season 4… where we will be heading East in the United States and Canada!

He stops for a moment for the crowd to cheer. 

Eric Wilson – But first, with this being our first event of this magnitude… Over 62,000 people in the Stadium here tonight… let me introduce our theme for tonight, Las Vegas’ own 5 Finger Death Punch with “The End”!

The camera drones go over to the elongated stage area, and pick up as the Members of the Heavy Metal Pride of Las Vegas, 5 Finger Death Punch: Ivan Moody, Zoltan Bathory, Chris Kael, Charlie Engen, and Andy James start to perform for the assembled crowd and the audience at home.

When the music dies down, Eric Wilson takes over again. 

Eric Wilson – We have a huge show for you tonight, with 5 of our biggest matches to date. 2 of the 4 Winds Titles are on the line, as well as the Conquest Wrestling Elite and Conquest Championships… so lets introduce your announcing team tonight, our normal Warzone announcers: “Fast” Eddie Vega and Benjamin Price!

The cameras switch to the announcers table, where Ben Price and Eddie Vega are sitting, both also wearing tuxedoes. 

Ben Price – Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Desperate Warfare. We’re coming to you commercial free, and ready to rumble here tonight. We’ve got some HUGE matches that you won’t get anywhere else. 

Eddie Vega – For our break down for tonight, let’s start with our main event. The CWF Conquest Championship will be vied for in a triple threat elimination match. Eddie Williams of the Bastards has his chance to become… Conquest Champion. 

Ben Price – Well he’ll be taking on two people who don’t like him and that he doens’ like. First up, an inspiration for people everywhere, especially younger wrestlers… as the just turned 18 a month ago, Abbigail Dresden will be one of those three contenders. She got into this match by being the 2nd ever person to win the prize for successfully defending the Valor championship 5 times. 

Eddie Vega – Well, we all know that she’s one of the Upstarts, so she’s not got much of a chance. Plus I think the Conquest Champion has more experience wrestling, than she has being alive. 

Ben Price – And that leads us to the Conquest Champion himself. Bad Company’s Kronin Reinhardt. He’s the most successful, longest reigning Conquest Champion to date. But does his long reign end tonight?

Eddie Vega – Well, before we get to that though, we get to see Double the Rob Riot in 4 Winds Wrestling Network matches. First he’ll be defending the 4 Winds title against the Enigma, -D-.

Ben Price – HIs long time friend, ends up working for Armand Von Krauss in the end. This one will be emotional, and could tear them both apart. 

Eddie Vega – Not to mention Alyssa Lucchi. But the unfair thing for Riot.. and Eddie Williams, is they both have to join with their fellow Bastard and defend the 4 Winds Legion Championship belts as well. Against our own nKo and a team from the FWA. Who are they again?

Ben Price – the FWA.

Eddie Vega – Yes, they’re from the FWA… but who is the team?

Ben Price – Okay, the FWA… Friends Wrestling Alliance, have come here from the FWA, the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance, to challenge for the Legion titles. 

Eddie Vega – Okay, whatever. Not even sure who is coming. 

Ben Price – Sonny Zucko, Johnny Murdoch, and Lizzie Rose. 

Eddie Vega – You think this Jonny Murdoch and our own Steve Murdock are related?

Ben Price – Not sure. One spells it with a ch and the other with a ck. 

Eddie Vega – But the nKo are sending a hell of a team as well. The Homixide gang of Monster Mammoth and the ‘Airdevil’ Madd Morales, being joined by Trelisa Perrault. 

Ben Price – The nKo started the last half of Season 3 running roughshod over the CWF, but the last few weeks, other teams like the Bastards have started to get some comeuppance. But you have to think that the nKo has a solid chance at Legion Championship gold tonight. 

Eddie Vega – And I brought up Murdock, and our Hardcore Icon is here tonight, to challenge for the Elite Championship held by one of Bad Company’s own, Kara Reinhardt. 

Ben Price – Bad Company are defending two titles here tonight, but just a couple of days ago, Greg Salazar and Kara Reinhardt were at an FWA event in Munich, Germany where they lost the 4WW Dyad Championship to the team known as the Cinematic Universe. So you know Kara Reinhardt is coming into this match not willing to lose another Bad Company title.

Eddie Vega – Well that’s not fully up to her. Steve Murdock is a former 4 Winds Maelstrom Champion, and he will want to get that Elite Title on his resume as well. 

Ben Price – And we’re going to start things off with the third and final member of Bad Company, Greg Salazar as he takes on Matthew Clarke. 

Eddie Vega – Why?

Ben Price – What?

Eddie Vega – Why?  Why is Salazar here? He’s recently lost a chance at the Valor title. He actually was the man pinned when Bad Company lost the CWF Tag Team Titles to the Bastards. And now he was pinned to lose the Dyad Champoinships as well…. Bad Company needs to cut his dead weight ass and just become the terror twins again, of Kronin and Kara Reinhardt. 

Ben Price – Can’t say I agree with you. But Greg Salazar is a product of…the Las Vegas area. This is the first time he’s not main evented a pay per view for the CWF. But lets get Desperate Warfare started!

Eddie Vega – Clarke beats him, he’s going to get a Valor title shot, I feel it.

Ben Price – He could very much deserve it if he does.

The camera switches to the ring, as Georgina Ross is seen climbing in between the ropes. Eric Wilson is standing there, ready to get Desperate Warfare started. He’s got a cue card in his hand and starts to read off of it.

Eric Wilson – The following match up is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first… Currently hailing from Seattle, Washington… but I’m also being asked to let everyone in on the fact that he is a graduate of Moapa Valley High School just under an hour drive up the I-15 from Las Vegas.  He comes in at 6’ 1” and 230 lbs… this is “The Paragon” Gregory Michael Salazar!

The screen comes to life with the words of his name, which then shift quickly to his initials GMS. The cover of “Limits” by Bad Omens starts to play, as done by his band Cryptic Writings with GMS on vocals. 

A few short moments later, Greg Salazar steps out, wearing his Bad Company gear of Black BDU style pants, combat boots and the matching combat vest. 

He stands there a moment, looks over at the extended stage, and then runs over to fist bump all 5 members of 5 Finger Death Punch… 

He then walks down to the ring, occasionally slapping a fan’s hand. 

He gets to the ring, and climbs up the steps before climbing to the top turnbuckle on the outside to acknowledge the crowd. 

Ben Price – Have to point out here that Greg Salazar just landed this morning on a flight back from Munich, Germany where he and Kara Reinhardt went and defended the 4 Winds Dyad titles in the FWA.

Eddie Vega – Where they lost them!

Ben Price – Yes, the team of the Cinematic Universe is now the Dyad Champions. But right now we’re here for Desperate Warfare’s opening match, and here we have someone who is FROM Las Vegas coming out to his hometown crowd. 

Eddie Vega – And going to point out, Salazar was the one pinned to lose them. I said it before he came out here…  He’s been losing more than winning as of late here.  And as for his whole Las Vegas hometown hero thing… He was born in San Diego, and now lives in Seattle. He gave up on Vegas, they need to not be cheering him. 

Ben Price – He lived from his pre-teen years until graduating from High School in the town of Moapa. He grew up here. 

As GMS gets into the ring, he gets handed a microphone. 

Greg Salazar – Good evening Las Vegas! 

He points back up to the band on the stage, 

Greg Salazar – Hey, Ivan! 5FDP! My band and I have opened for them a few times here, and I’ll go ahead and say it… there might be a pop up show in the next couple of days where we might be performing with them again at a large establishment here in town. But… let’s go!

He waits a moment for his hometown crowd to cheer. 

Greg Salazar – What a ride these last few years in the CWF have been. This is the first CWF Pay Per View I’ve not been involved in the Main Event, and I’m standing here in the opening match. But I had to have a match here tonight… in front of the crowd composed of my friends, family and the people of the town that raised me. 

He stops for a moment. 

Greg Salazar – Now, you’ll all notice I’m not out here with a Dyad title. Yes, Kara and I came home empty handed. I want to say Congrats to the Cinematic Universe for an awesome match up. Now, Bad Company has to decide on if we’re going to try to get them back. But first… I’ve got to face off with Mr. Clarke here. And then Kara and Kronin have to defend their titles…. So, Las Vegas… Welcome to Desperate Warfare.  And… Let’s start the show! 

He drops the mic outside the ring, and then takes off the combat vest as he gets ready.

Eric Wilson – And his opponent… 

The arena lights flicker to black with the exception of the dim spotlight fixated on the curtain. 

“Are you looking to sell your salvation” hits the speakers as Salvation by Hollywood Undead hits plays throughout the arena. 

Eric Wilson – Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He comes in at 5’ 11” and 205 lbs….. This is Matthew Clarke!

The arena remains unlit until the guitar hits the speakers to where the entire arena lights fully up as white lights flicker amongst the crowd, Matthew walks out through the curtain looking around towards the fans of the arena with focused look in his eyes. 

He stops on the stage before walking down the ramp, looking to both sides of the crowd around him, cracking his neck to both sides before he continues towards the ring. He walks up the ring steps and grip the turnbuckle in his hand before climbing it and raising his arms in the air if only to invite the ‘boos’ of the crowd to rain down upon him. He then jumps into the ring and walks to his corner, waiting for the match to start. 

Eric Wilson – Your referee for this match, Georgina Ross!

Ross steps into the center or the ring and asks both if they’re ready to go. Both men signal they’re good and she calls for the bell. 

Ben Price – Clarke may not be a fan favorite but so far he has been impressive. 

Eddie Vega – Yeah, but where’s his girl at? 

Ben Price – Not sure. But he’s got a hell of a challenge here tonight. Greg Salazar isn’t a minor person, even though he’s in the opening match tonight. 

Eddie Vega – He got beat by Kat Hale on the last episode of Warzone. 

Ben Price – Just shows you the level that Kat Hale has brought herself up to. 

The two men circled each other for a moment and then locked up in the middle of the ring. Clarke breaks the lockup first, and locks on an exploder suplex. He takes Salazar over with it, but GMS rolls once on the landing and then kips up to his feet. Clarke comes up to find Salazar on his feet as well. 

Ben Price – And Clarke gets the first hit, but not sure how effective it was. 

The two meet again, and Clarke tries for a short arm clothesline, but Salazar ducks under it, and then ripcords Clarke into an Iron Fist!

Eddie Vega – That didn’t end up the way he wanted it. I’m not a Greg Salazar fan, but that spinning backfist had stopped so many people’s momentum in a match. 

Clarke staggers backwards a few steps, turns and holding his cheek. Salazar steps in and hooks his arm and leg quickly, and snaps him over for a Ring Toss Suplex that lands just short of the corner turnbuckle. 

Ben Price – Ring Toss almost hit its mark there. 

Salazar gets back up and scrambles over to help Clarke to his feet. He then locks in a full nelson hold. He doesn’t wait, and starts to headbutt Clarke as he walks him around the ring a bit. 

Eddie Vega – And the illegal move here!

Ben Price – It’s not illegal, but it’s called the Concussion Protocol for a reason. 

As soon as they’re in the middle of the ring, Salazar stops, and lifts Clarke up just a little, before then sweeping his feet, and slamming him down face first. 

Ben Price – And he hits the Memento Mori!

Eddie Vega – First time for everything. I think that is the first time he’s actually hit that move. 

Salazar rolls Clarke over and hooks his leg, going for a pinfall. 

… One

…… Two

……… Three

Ben Price – Well this one is over pretty quick. 

Eddie Vega – I think both Lana and Lanza got quicker matches on the Vanguard pre-show, though. 

Eric Wilson – The winner of this match up… Greg Salazar!

Ben Price – Bad Company starts off strong here tonight with a quick win tonight in our opening match up. But can the others follow suit.

Eddie Vega – Well this one I lost money on… but not going to tell you how I bet on the others, at least not yet. 

The camera quickly shows Salazar walking up the exit rampway, and a ring attendant walking Clarke back with some assistance. 

Ben Price – No commercials here tonight, ladies’ and gentlemen. And we’ve got a huge audience here. So you know what that means?

Eddie Vega – The camera is going to sit on us while the ring finishes getting cleared, then the next match starts. 

Ben nods at him. Then taps his headset as if listening in. 

Eddie Vega – And that means, the next match is queued up, if you want an explanation there.

Ben Price – Here we go, fans!  Elite title on the line.  Falls Count Anywhere and no DQ!

Eddie Vega – Can’t wait to see this matchup.  Kara Reinhardt and Steve Murdock have built this up to one of the must see matches on the card!

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is set for one fall and it will be fought under No DQ and Falls Count Anywhere rules and it is for the CWF Elite title!  Introducing first.  He is the challenger.  Hailing from Dallas, Texas.  He stands 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs in at 220lbs.  He is Steve Murdock!!

Steve Murdock stands at the entry way as the wave of crowd sentiment of either boos or cheers reach a fever pitch. He then walks to the ring getting slaps to the arms or back or hands reaching out for a handshake from the fans to which he ignores, he rolls under the bottom rope into the ring and stands in the far corner, waiting.

Ben Price – Steve Murdock, no stranger to the Elite title.  This man fought Valora and damn near pried the title from her.  He has fought multiple battles either for the Elite title or in the unofficial Elite title division and now he’s set to once more try to pry the belt from the current champ.

Eddie Vega – He’s focused on this.  This belt means something to him and he wants it.  Bad.  

Eric Wilson – And introducing his opponent.  Hailing fromDresden, Germany.  She stands 6 feet tall and weighs in at 200lbs.  She is a member of Bad Company and is the reigning and defending CWF Elite Champion, Kara Reinhardt!

The lights dim and ‘Ich Will’ by Rammstein plays over the PA as Kara makes her way out from the backstage area, pausing at the top of the entryway, as the crowd comes to their feet and cheers.  Kara pauses to look around and raises a fist in the air as she looks down at the ring. She makes her way to the ring with a slow, methodical pace and climbs into the ring, climbing between the ropes and making her way to her corner where she holds up a hand and then begins warming up, throwing a few warm up punches in her corner

Ben Price – And there’s the Champ.  Not that long ago, she was in Munich, Germany where she and Greg Salazar took part in a match for the 4 Winds Dyad titles.  Now, she’s gearing up to defend her Elite title and one has to say, she can’t be 100%.

Eddie Vega – Maybe her lazy brother should have gone.  Those two coddle Kronin and both Kara and Greg Salazar have suffered for it.

Ben Price – Well, having observed the twins, I find myself agreeing with the theory of James Collins.  I think Kara is the older sibling.

Eddie Vega – Did you take the short bus to school?  They’re fuckin’ twins…  wait that came out.. No, I think I’m just gonna end it there.

Ben Price – Smart.  Also, you do know that twins don’t come out at the exact same moment, right?  One twin comes out first.  That one is usually the ‘older’ sibling.  

Eddie Vega – Now that you mention it.. Being the older sibling could explain part of the dommy mommy vibe she has going..

Kara removes the Elite title belt and hands it to Ashley Beaton, the ref who holds it up to indicate the title is on the line.  She then hands it to Eric Wilson who moves out of the ring and to his spot at ringside.  

Ben Price – and it looks like it’s just about time to get things rolling here.

In the ring, Ashley Beaton calls for the bell and the match begins

DING!!!  DING!!

The two fighters walk out into the middle of the ring, looking each other over, the mutual respect each has obvious between the two fighters but Kara stuns the crowd, and even surprises Steve Murdock when, after the bell sounds, Kara exits the ring.  She moves to a very specific spot of the ring and takes a knee, reaching under the ring and taking out her trusty security baton, which she extends.

Ben Price – Kara Reinhardt pulling a surprise tactic.  She went right for a weapon!

Eddie Vega – Not just any weapon, Benny boy!  She grabbed her nightstick!  This has to be planned, that is her style of night stick and she knew exactly where it was!

Ben Price – For once, I am unable to disagree with your conspiratorial thinking.  I think you’re right that Kara clearly planted that security baton there ahead of time.  But that is also not illegal given the rules of this match!

Seeing this does not panic her opponent as Steve climbs out of the ring and reaches under the ring.  In short order, her finds and pulls out a trash can and trash can lid.  He sets the trash can down and walks towards Kara with the trash can lid.  Kara swings and Steve blocks it with the lid.  Kara tries for a second attack which he also blocks.  After the third block, Steve kicks Kara in the gut, doubling her over and spins around, swinging the trash can lid in a mighty uppercut blow that hits Kara’s forehead with such force, it stands her up straight and Steve grabs her, doing a modified inverted Russian legsweep, planting Kara face first onto the trash can lid, onto the floor.

Ben Price – Give him credit, Steve Murdock came up with a counter to the security baton and managed to not only defend himself but even exploited an opening and caught Kara with the trash can lid.

Eddie Vega – Well in this kind of match, whatever works, I guess.

Steve Murdock looks around and then makes his way over to the trash can he took out and roots around in it before coming out with a kendo stick.  He swings and hits Kara on the back and tries for a second strike but Kara blocks it and then quickly lashes out and hits him in the knee, getting to her feet as Steve Murdock drops to a knee and cracks him on the shoulder, but Steve dives forward and tackles her 

Ben Price – Well, I suppose that is another option, if your opponent gets a weapon, grab one too.  

Eddie Vega – We’re halfway to a sword fight here.. If you know, they were using swords instead of blunt weapons.

Both fighters get to their feet, trading punches.  Steve Murdock hitting first and bringing Kara to a knee, Kara firing back from her knee with an uppercut to the body and then coming to her feet and hitting a European uppercut.  She grabs him and sends him into the steel steps with an irish whip 

Ben Price – I have to say this is a new and interesting tactic from Kara.  She has always seemed to prefer in ring, technical fighting as opposed to the more hardcore style.

Eddie Vega – Well, maybe after the Elite X match where she nearly won the belt and the war she waged against Madd Morales to get the belt, she’s finally learned what the belt is all about 

Steve Murdock slowly gets to his feet, feeling the effects of going head and shoulder first into the steel steps.  Kara makes her way over, measuring Steve and punching him in the face twice and tries for a third but Steve blocks the punch and tries for a hip toss, putting Kara back first on the base of the steel steps, resulting in Kara arching her back and rolling off onto the floor.  Steve nods as he watches and makes his way over to the trash can and reaches in and pulls out a TASER.  Steve grins and turns, taking aim and waits, allowing Kara to expend the energy to grab onto the ring apron and pull herself to her feet before firing and hitting Kara.  Kara glances at what hit her and, instantly recognizing what it is, her eyes widen as she quickly lets go of anything metal and her body convulses and she drops a knee clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.  Before collapsing 

Ben Price – My god!  A TASER!  Steve Murdock has just shot a charge of electricity through Kara!  And it’s all legal!

Eddie Vega – Think she’s thinking to herself ‘Don’t TAZE me bro!!”

Ben Price lets out a sigh and shakes his head

Ben Price – Given that she’s German and is thus likely not familiar with that very, very American meme, I’m going to guess that any thoughts she had were likely in her native German as she would have found it quite literally impossible to think in any other language while being shocked.

Steve Murdock moves over and makes the cover, Ashley Beaton coming in and making the count

…One!

……Two!

Ben Price – Kara kicks out!  She kicks out a split second before 3!

Eddie Vega – How did she?  Ben!  Do you think the rumor of cops training to resist that is possible!  How the hell do you train to resist electricity!?”

Kara grabs the commentary desk as she struggles to pull herself up to her feet and the headset mics of Ben and Eddie pick up Kara’s reply:

Kara Reinhardt – Very…carefully.

Steve Murdock looks incredulous at the fact that Kara kicked out but shakes his head and moves over behind Kara and grabs her from behind, bashing her face first into the commentary desk.  Kara hits Steve with a mule kick in the groin.  She spins around, hitting Steve with a spinning backfist and then boots him in the gut and plants him with a DDT, both fighters ending up on the mat recovering from the last flurry.

Ben Price – Well fans Kara showing her trademark resilience here and even managing to try and get back on the offense

Eddie Vega – These two have already started off indicating they intend to put each other through hell tonight!

Ben Price – A good point from my broadcast partner here, this could definitely be a match where one or both fighters are taken out on a stretcher.

Kara uses the ring apron to help herself get to her feet and Steve Murdock uses the steel steps near one of the corners of the ring to help himself get up.  Both fighters take a moment to catch their breath and plot their next move.  Steve Murdock gets an idea and walks away from the ringside area and makes his way towards the backstage areas.  Kara, seeing him leave, heads after him, with Ashley Beaton following along as they enter the backstage area.  Steve grabs a steel chair and picks it up, jamming tope end of the back of the chair into Kara’s gut, doubling her over and raising the steel chair over his head and bringing it down right on the spine of her back, causing Kara to take a knee and a second chair shot brings her to the ground.  Steve tries one more time for a swing but Kara rolls out of the way and slowly gets to her feet and intercepts Steve, bringing him to the ground with a belly to belly suplex.

Ben Price – And as they make their way through the stadium here, the danger is going to increase exponentially folks.  

Eddie Vega – But on the bright side, we’ll likely figure out who really deserves to be the Elite Champion

Kara pulls Steve up to his feet and leads him over to an office building and slams him face first into the door once, twice and then turns him around a couple of times and throws him into the door.  Backing up, she charges, slamming into him once, and then repeats the move, hitting him a second time.  She runs back and builds up a head of steam and tries to hit him a third time but Steve charges forward and hits her with an overhead release Belly to back suplex throwing Kara into and through the door into the office beyond.

Ben Price – Oh man!  Those doors are pretty thick, resilience aside, Kara is likely going to be feeling that!

Eddie Vega – I dunno, with what we’ve seen from this chick, I wouldn’t be surprised to find her in the room laughing.

Steve Murdock enters the office first, Ashley Beaton behind him, the cameraman behind her to continue the show the action as Steven grabs Kara and throws her up against the wall and hits her with a barrage of body blows from his fists and knees.  This concludes as he picks her up in a fireman’s carry, spins around, building momentum and throws her off driving her through the office’s desk.  Steve jumps into the air and drives an elbow into  Kara and pins her.

Steve Murdock – God damn it!  Stay down!

Ashley Beaton drops down and makes the count…

…One!

……Two!

Kara kicks out!

Ashley Beaton – 2!  That’s a 2 count, Murdock!

Steve Murdock – Yeah, yeah, I know how to count!

Ben Price – Another near fall by Steve Murdock and my god.. She was thrown through a door, against a wall and through a wooden desk.  How much punishment can she take?!

Eddie Vega – She’s like the Punisher or something!

Steve Murdock moves to pull Kara to her feet, but she counters with a couple of punches to the gut.  Kara gets to her feet and pelts Steve Murdock with a series of wing chun style punches.  Steve slumps to a sitting position on the floor, leaning against the wall.  Kara then grabs a laptop and no sooner has Steve Murdock gotten to his feet, wiping some blood from his mouth than Kara cracks a laptop over his head and sends Steve Murdock back to the ground and Kara quickly goes for the pin, Ashley Beaton making the count.

…One!

……Two!

Ben Price – My god!  She broke a laptop over his head!  But he manages to kick out!

Eddie Vega – and he got back up!  Who the hell willingly decides to put their bodies through this?!

Kara fights to her feet and makes her way out of the office and looks around, planning her next move.  Spotting something that gives her an idea, she turns back towards the office only to see Steve Murdock stumble out of it.  He charges Kara, hitting her and lifting her up and slamming her into another door.  Kara responds by punching him in the side of the head  Steve slams her into the door again and the door opens from the other side and some unlucky fan gets bowled over as Steve charges forward again but there is now an open door and he and Kara go slamming into the person backstage who opened the door.

Ben Price – And was that a fan?!  Fan or employee, someone in CWF got up close and personal in the action here!

Eddie Vega – Well, there’s a lawsuit incoming.  Which one of the owners is the legal guru?

Kara gets to her feet and helps the stunned fan to his feet and helps get him clear of the area.  Steve Murdock, seeing this, backs off and allows Kara to clear the fan out of the area.  Once done, the two stand and trade punches as fans in the concession area gather to watch the fight, cheering the fighters on as they trade punches.  Steve goes low and hits Kara with a knee to the gut and gives her a couple of clubbing forearm shots to the back before leading her over to one of the food vendors and slams Kara face first into the counter as he looks at the cashier.

Steve Murdock – Gimme a coffee.  Black.  Oh, and some jalapeno peppers.

Ben Price – I have a bad feeling about that order.

Eddie Vega – I know, right?  At least get a hotdog or maybe some nachos or something.. Jeez.

Kara elbows Steve in the gut but is cut off with a couple more shots of being driven face first into the counter.  Steve takes the coffee and throws it at Kara, hitting her in the face.  Steve uses an irish whip and sends Kara… right into Ashley Beaton, booth women go down in a heap and Steve curses, clearly not intending to take out the ref.

Ben Price – He threw that coffee in her face!  That could do some real damage depending on how hot it was!  And now we have a match without a ref as Kara got thrown into Ashley Beaton

Eddie Vega – Let’s be real, this kinda of match doesn’t really need a ref.  You need someone to count to three and that’s about it.

Steve Murdock looks around and moves a table over.  He then pulls Kara to her feet and uses one arm to grab her around the leg, the other arm about her neck area and looks behind him to gauge distance before picking Kara up and driving her through the table with an exploder suplex

CWF Fans – Holy shit!  Holy shit!

Ben Price – Exploder suplex through the table and onto hard concrete!  That could be it!!

Eddie Vega – She’s going to lose the title!!

Steve Murdock makes the cover but Ashley Beaton is still out cold

CWF Fans – ….1!  …..2! …..3!

Steve looks around not seeing anyone counting and seeing the ref still out and lets out a roar of frustration as he stands up and makes his way over to Ashley Beaton before making his way back to the food vendor. 

Steve Murdock – Ice water!  Colder, the better!

Getting his water, Steve makes his way over to Ashley Beaton and throws the water on her

Steve Murdock – Wakey, Wakey, you need to count so I can get my belt!

Ben Price – Well, that’s not nice.. It’s not Ashley’s fault she had a 200lb female thrown into her.

Eddie Vega – Are we sure she’s a female?  I still think she might be a cyborg.  Maybe some kinda Amazon.  Maybe a super soldier or something..

Steve pins Kara once more and Ashley Beaton makes the count.

……One!

………Two!

Ben Price – And Kara kicks out!

Eddie Vega – Yeah, after like a 15 and a half count..

Steve Murdock slaps the ground in frustration and storms off, returning with a steel chair and wearing Kara out as he repeatedly hits her with the steel chair, ending by taking the edge of the back of the chair and thrusting it into Kara’s knee.  Kara cries out in pain and instantly grabs her knee.  Steve Murdock tosses the chair aside and pulls Kara to her feet, and she stands, clearly favoring the injured knee.  “He tries for a vertical suplex, but Kara counters and lands behind him, but any counter she planned is cut off when her injured knee gives and she topples to the ground.

Ben Price – Kara might be really hurt here, fans.

Eddie Vega – Worry about that later.  If Murdock wants to win, he should target that knee ruthlessly.

Steve Murdock does just that, kicking and stomping on the injured knee.  Kara makes no effort to defend herself and eventually Ashley Beaton steps in.

Ashley Beaton – Back off, Murdock!  She’s hurt.  Lemme check if she wants to continue

Steve Murdock – You think she’s going to quit!?  Come on Beaton!

Ashley looks at Kara and before she opens her mouth, Kara starts pulling herself up to her feet.

Kara Reinhardt – Give the man credit.  He knows me.  This fight keeps going until one of us beats the other or until I stop moving.

Ashley Beaton throws her hands up and signals for the match to continue

Ben Price – There’s got to be something the ref can do here.  Credit to Kara but she was unable to defend herself at all that last attack.

Eddie Vega – Lemme ask you something, Benny boy.  Do you want to go tell Kara you’ve decided she can’t fight anymore and isn’t the Champion because of that?

Ben Price – Umm… no.  No, I do not

Steve Murdock and Kara lock up in a collar elbow tie up.  Kara transitions it to a side headlock and leads him back to the food vendor, noticing the jalapenos and gets a wicked grin on her face

Kara Reinhardt –  Looks like you forgot your food, Steve.

Kara takes the jalapenos and rubs them in Steve’s eyes.  Steve cries out and Kara bounces his face off the counter and throws him over the counter into the kitchen area behind.  Kara slides over the counter and comes in after him.  Finding a cheese grater Kara takes it and rakes it across the forehead of Steve Murdock, cutting him open

Kara Reinhardt – Going to become Elite, huh?!  You think so?!

Kara slams him head and face first back into the counter and then grabs a mustard squeeze bottle and sprays mustard in Steve’s face.  Steve fights back, hitting Kara with a punch and grabbing a pan and turns around, hitting Kara in the head, knocking her down.  He then opens the door and leads him and Kara out of the food prep area of that food vendor and the pair make their way towards one of the gift shops.

Ben Price – You know, Valora was upset this pay per view wasn’t held in a casino, I think we’re beginning to see why the casinos were nervous.

Eddie Vega – Are you kiddin’ me?  You know how many different things you could bet on?  And here, the suckers literally just hand you their money.  A little property damage is well worth the money they’d make and they’d turn that into money too.  Selling pieces of that door and desk by the day after the event at the latest.. Likely they’d have it ready to sell by the next match.

Ben Price – Well.. I guess you have a point.  This is Vegas..

Eddie Vega – That’s right Benny boy.

As if to buffer Eddie’s words, the gift shop the two fighters enter has the usual fare you expect to find, mostly Raiders fan gear but there is a section for CWF.  Kara heads for that section.  Looking for a weapon.  Her injured knee slowing her down but she finds a replica CWF title belt and takes it, crouching down to hide as Steve Murdock enters the gift shop and looks around, Ashley Beaton not far behind.

Ben Price – And thinking quickly, Kara seems to have found some improvised weapons in the gift shop

Eddie Vega – Things could get interesting, Benny boy.. Let’s see what happens next.

Steve Murdock makes his way through the gift shop and Kara comes out of her hiding place and hits him with the replica title belt, knocking him to the floor.  Taking a mounted position, Kara hammers him with right fists and pulls him to his feet.  Hitting her variation of the rock bottom, as she lifts Steve Murdock up and drives him through a table which still had various merchandise items on it.

Ben Price – Reich Breaker!  Kara hits the Reich Breaker.

Eddie Vega – But did she get full strength on it?  She has only one leg at the moment.

Kara moves over and makes the pin, Ashley Beaton slides in to make the count

…One!

……Two!

………Thr-NO!!!

Ben Price – Steve Murdock kicks out!

Eddie Vega – See?  Told you.

Kara pounds the ground in frustration and roars out as she gets to her feet and pulls Steve to his feet and throws him up against the wall, punching him in the ribs and the head and hammers him over and over with punches covering head and torso of her opponent.  She then plants Steve on the ground with a belly to belly suplex and then once more takes a mounted position, hammering him with rights and lefts roaring out in anger.

Eddie Vega – Umm Benny boy.. I used to think Kara was scary in her calm, in control mode.  This is scarier.

Ben Price – This is definitely a new and more ruthless side to Kara

Steve Murdock reaches for something, anything to help.  In desperation, he finds a beer stein and grabs it, breaking it over Kara’s head and creating an opening for him to escape.  Both fighters get up to their feet.  Kara charges and tries for a clothesline but Steve Murdock dodges and grabs a display mannequin torso that sports a Raiders jersey and swings, cracking Kara over the head as she turns to face Steve Murdock.  The blow seems to stun Kara for a second, so Steve winds up and hits her again, breaking the display over Kara’s head.  Steve finishes the move series by charging and tackling Kara to the ground and he returns the favor, by taking a mounted position and beginning his own ground and pound assault as he hits her with rights and lefts.

Ben Price – Still think that property damage figures are ‘small stuff’?

Eddie Vega – Benny boy, you have no concept of just how much money a casino pulls down.  My cousin works in the casino racket.  Trust me.  Even what we’ve seen in this match so far isn’t too bad.  Most of the damage is limited to one gift store.  Figure… what?  Maybe a few hundred dollars of damage so far?  The CWF merch they’re selling alone will make that up.  Convince a few deluded mooks to pay for Raiders jerseys and boom, you’ve made back the damage we’ve caused.

Kara takes a few shots but is able to defend herself and eventually begins to lock in a triangle choke, but Steve Murdock is able to escape the attempted submission hold.  Making his way over to a section advertising the coming arrival of the Oakland A’s baseball team, Steve Murdock grabs a wooden baseball bat and looks at it and nods.

Steve Murdock – Batter up.

He moves and swings, catching Kara in the gut doubling her over.  He swings again, once more hitting her in the gut again.  He swings for her head but she dodges it.  He boots her in the gut and as she doubles over, he swings and breaks the bat over her back, drooping Kara to the ground.  She writhes in pain, even coughing up some blood as Steve Murdock tosses the shards of the bat aside and plans out his next move

Ben Price – My god!  Kara has to have some internal injuries here!

Eddie Vega – Assuming she has insides to injure, Benny Boy!  I still think she’s a terminator.

Steve Murrdock looks around and decides on his next attack.  He pulls Kara to her feet and…

CRASH!  

Fans outside the gift shop are stunned and surprised as the picture window explodes as Kara crashes through it and lands on the ground, bloodied and beaten as Steve Murdock walks out calmly after.  Ashley Beaton following a bit behind him

Steve Murdock – Are we having fun yet, Kara?  You aren’t in the same category as me or Valora!

To punctuate his comments, he kicks Kara in the ribs as she tries to get up.  Kara cries out in pain, immediately falling back to the ground, clutching her ribs as the crowd gasps

Steve Murdock – Huh.  So you’re human after all.  You can be hurt.

Steve Murdock grabs the leg of Kara where he had injured her knee and locks in a single leg Boston crab.  Kara immediately cries out on pain and Ashley Beaton drops down to see if she is going to tap out.

Ben Price – My god!  Thrown through a plate glass window and now Kara has a single leg boston crab working on that injured knee.  Steve Murdock has proven that Kara is human and can be hurt

Eddie Vega – Don’t forget the baseball bat.  This match is getting brutal… much as I kinda like Kara, I have to agree with Steve.  She isn’t a hardcore fighter.. Not like Valora or Steve Murdock are.

Kara tries desperately to escape, finally, out of desperation, she grabs a shard of glass and stabs Steve Murdock in the upper thigh/ass are causing Steve Murdock to cry out and break the hold as he looks back at Kara.

Ben Price – Well that is.. Umm one way to break a submission hold.  Just hope she didn’t cut her hands as well.

Eddie Vega – She stabbed the dude in the ass.  I’m all for needs must, but..that’s just wrong, man.

Kara gets up moving her leg in a motion to try and get circulation flowing back into it even hitting the side of her knee and her leg a few times.  This distraction allows Steve Murdock to hit her with a clothesline which sends her to the ground.  Pulling her to her feet, Steve leads her through a maintenance area and the pair come out in a parking garage area.  Kara hits Steve Murdock with an elbow to the gut and tries to break free of his hold but Steve counters with a knee to the injured rib area of Kara and then notices a limo parked in the area and glances at Kara before sending her into the side of the car with an Irish whip, Kara hitting the car and grunting out in pain as she slumps to a seated position.

Ben Price – And now we’re entering another area.  For those keeping track at home, We’ve moved from the ring.  To the area at ringside, to a backstage office, to a food vendor in the concession area, to a gift shop to the concourse and now to the parking garage.  7 areas.

Eddie Vega – Okay.. maybe the price tag on property damage is starting to add up here..

Steve Murdock charges and hits Kara with a running knee that slams into Kara’s head, knocking it back into the car.  He pulls Kara to her feet and brings her onto the hood of the car with a hip toss and then drives an elbow into her chest.  Steve pulls Kara up to her feet as he climbs onto the roof of the car with her and lifts her up and plants her on the car’s roof and windshield with a northern lights suplex.

Ben Price – I hope that limo doesn’t belong to anyone important..

Eddie Vega – Yeah someone’s ride is looking like it’s going to be damaged pretty good.

Steve Murdock begins to go for the pin but Kara counters and rolls through, both fighters rolling off the car and onto the concrete below.  Kara maintains her attack and moves to lock in an armbar but Steve immediately moves to counter by rolling towards Kara looking to relieve the pressure on his elbow.  Kara breaks the hold and both fighters get to their feet, bloodied and beaten.  But both fighters refusing to quit.  They trade punches, neither fighter interested in defense, just standing toe to toe and going punch for punch.

Ben Price – Whichever person wins this fight is going to deserve to be called Elite Champion.  These two have waged war with each other literally all over the stadium

Eddie Vega – I don’t know how either one of these fighters is still standing, Benny boy.

Kara and Steve continue to trade punches until Kara kicks Steve Murdock in the gut and locks a side headlock in before turning and throwing the man head first into the front car door on the driver’s side.  She locks in a waistlock and brings Steve Murdock down to the hard concrete with a German suplex.  She maintains the hold and and both fighters get up, Kara positioning herself and throwing another German suplex, this time suplex sends Steve Murdock into the car.  Kara still does not break the hold and hits a third and final German suplex, once more planting Steve Murdock onto the concrete and bridging back into the pin.

CWF Fans – “1!  2!  3!

Ben Price – Well, she calls the move Eins, Zwei Drei and for those who don’t know German, the crowd here at Allegiant stadium translated for you!

Eddie Vega – This woman is not human Ben I swear to you

Steve Murdock kicks out before Ashley Beaton can get into position and Kara gets to her feet and rips the over shirt off showing her under shirt and bringing a roar of approval from the crowd

Eddie Vega – Our ratings just doubled.  Hell if that undershirt gets any wetter or we get her to take it off, we might triple our ratings or more.

Ben Price – It..is hard to argue that point, I suppose.

Kara pulls Steve Murdock to his feet and leads him over to the car before planting him on the hood with a hip toss and then climbing up onto the hood with before pulling him to his feet and lifting him up and planting him on the hood of the car with her version of the Michinoku driver.  

Ben Price – Dresden Driver!  On the hood of the car!!

Eddie Vega – There’s a Steve Murdock’s head sized dent in that hood!

Kara crawls over and makes the cover and Ashley Beaton gets in position and counts.

…One!

……Two!

………Three!

Ashley Beaton calls for the bell

DING!!  DING!!

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the match, by pinfall, and STILL CWF Elite Champion, Kara Reinhardt!!

Ben Price – A close, hard fought win by Kara but there will definitely be controversy coming from this.

Eddie Vega – Steve Murdock had her beat but Ashley Beaton had been knocked out and wasn’t able to do her job.  I think we might very well be seeing these two go to war one more time for the belt down the road.  I mean, Kara claims to be about fairness, the fair thing to do is give Murdock a rematch!

Ben Price – You might have a point, this is definitely going to be an interesting call for Valora to make. Not only does she have to sort through how to handle this situation, she has to do so in a way that won’t prompt one or both of the other co-owners to get involved.

As the match ends, Kara rolls off Steve Murdock and the car, falling onto the ground, fighting her way up to a knee as Dr. Daniel Corgan, the CWF lead medical official makes his way over first to Ashley Beaton, handing her the Elite title then goes over to look at Kara.  Ashley Beaton hands the Elite title to Kara, who drapes it over her shoulder as she is checked out.

Ben Price – Not surprisingly, both Steve Murdock and Kara Reinhardt are being checked out by CWF medical staff.

Eddie Vega – It’s a good thing we’re taking the end of season break.. Both Steve and Kara will be able to use the down time to heal up.

Ben Price – That they will need after that match up. But Kara Reinhardt successfully defended the Elite championship one more time. She’s fast approaching being our greatest Elite Champion. She may soon eclipse Valora Salinas herself. 

Eddie Vega – I’m not saying a word on that. 

Ben Price – Well, we’ll need to take a look, but I think she might have a longer time, and more defenses than even Valora had. 

Eddie Vega – Well, we’re two matches in… three more to go. That last match made up for the first one, so this has been a great show so far!.

Ben Price – True and we’ve got so much more to show the world tonight.

Eddie Vega – Wait, what’s happening?

Static fills the big screen for a few seconds before it starts to clear. A large American Flag flutters majestically through the window of the room. A television sitting in the corner shows the viewers all sorts of American iconic sites; Children playing in the streets, baseball games, parades through the streets, troops in the Middle East. Those images dissolve into footage of various terrorist attacks from around the world including 9-11 until; finally, the Iraqi flag with two scimitars underneath fills the screen.

Eddie Vega – What the hell?

Ben Price – Who the hell?

The camera pulls back to reveal a hooded figure sprawled on a garish chair. Kneeling before him is a woman dressed in a black burqa. He pulls the hood back revealing that it is Abdul bin Hussain. He is dressed in traditional Arabic white thaub and kaffiyeh. Standing behind the throne are two men in black swat-like body armour. Both are nearly seven feet tall and solidly built. He has a wrestling belt over his left shoulder.

Eddie Vega – Oh my God!!! It’s Abdul bin Hussain!!!!

Ben Price – He is the DPW National Champion. What the hell is he doing here?

Eddie Vega – Well they are part of the same Network doofus!!

Laughing comes from behind the cam-corder recording this iconic scene. The figure pans the camera around the room. Another camera seems to be recording all that is going on in the room including the camera that is recording this.

Abdul bin Hussein – First off I will need to introduce myself and my associates to those of you that have been living under a rock. I am Abdul bin Hussain, I am the greatest wrestler in the world, fact! You may think that my ego is bigger than my skills but try and find someone that can prove otherwise.

He points at the lady in front of him.

Abdul bin Hussein – This is my sister Nazirah. And behind the camera is none other than my associate Rafiq.

He motions to the men standing behind him.

Abdul bin Hussein – These two gentlemen have been part of my entourage for many years. They are my enforcers. They protect me from the unwashed masses and the infidels that want to hurt me……or attempt to but end up just embarrassing themselves. Now where was I?

He looks directly into the camera lens.

Abdul bin Hussein – I have recorded this little session as I know that it is the only way that I will be able to get my views out to my followers around this world. You see if I leave this to the normal channels then you will only see a few seconds of it after they have edited the controversial views that they believe that I preach. We are here to show you viewers of 4 Winds Wrestling, CWF and the world that we are more than what we seem. You look at us and you see a group of terrorists who would do anything for their ideals but we are nothing more than what your people are under Donald Trump. You see us and you condemn us for the actions we take. But how different from what you think of us are we? We are not terrorists but freedom fighters, who will do anything in our power to win back our country much like you were when you wanted to get away from the British.

A smirk appears on his face.

Abdul bin Hussein – I am the DPW National Champion which proves that I am more than just some poor excuse for an Arab that this country thinks of me. I am always looking for the next challenge and was glad when the promotion I work for joined this Network as there would be the next challenge for Abdul bin Hussain. Robert Riot, you are what some called the best wrestler of the last decade but to me I think you are just this arrogant wrestler who is still grasping for that next big buzz before being taken out the back of the building and shot. You may still hold that belt of yours at the moment but with D snapping at your heels maybe not for long.

Abdul caresses the belt on his shoulder.

Abdul bin Hussein – Robert, why does it not surprise me how you are the epiphany of all things that the world believes is wrong with the United Kingdoms. How crass it is to look at you and know that the company that you currently work for treats you like some kind of deity. It is blasphemous really if you think about it and shows that the UK has fallen from grace. You turn up when you want on your own terms as if the world owes you for its entire existence but you will find out the hard way my infidel acquaintance won’t you?

Abdul caresses his perfectly trimmed beard.

Abdul bin Hussein – That belt that you hold is precious to you is it not? IF you get past D tonight then I, Abdul bin Hussain put out an open challenge for it, D will fail as we know he is a failure these days but IF you do not then D will be the one I challenge as you would have failed at more in life. Do you have what it takes? Step up or get out of this business.

The screen fades to the flag of Iraq.

Eddie Vega – OH MY GOD!!!

Ben Price – Has Abdul bin Hussain just put out a challenge against Rob Riot?

Eddie Vega – Or D!!!

Ben Price – What?

Eddie Vega – Never mind, yes he did.

Ben Price – Well that just upped the 4 Winds Match for later. The DPW National Champion has challenged whoever wins for the 4 Winds Title!. 

Eddie Vega – Well, big news and it happened here on CWF’s Desperate Warfare. But, lets get to our next match, as the 4 Winds Legion Championships will be on the line!

Eric Wilson – The following matchup is scheduled for one fall and is for the 4 Winds Wrestling LEGION Championships. It will be fought under standard Triple Threat Trios Team Rules! 

Ben Price – And now for our first of two 4WW matches for tonight. 

Eddie Vega – And the unfairness of them both.

Ben Price – How? 

Eddie Vega – Both of them have Rob Riot in them. And they’re right after the other. This is all a setup to try to get Rob Riot to lose one of his 4WW straps. 

Ben Price – Well, both were due to be defended. But let’s go ahead and get to the ring. 

Eric Wilson – Introducing first, representing the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance and the stable of the Friends Wrestling AllianceThey come in at a combined weight of 583 pounds… From the Goode Garage, we have Johnny Murdock and Sonny Zucko… and from the Friendship Factory… LIZZIE ROSE!

A cheerful song about friendship and magic starts to play over the arena’s PA system. Three people walk out. Two of them look like ‘greasers’ from the 1960’s… leather jackets, jeans, white t-shirts. Between them is a smaller woman, dressed in a colorful, whimsical outfit. She’s wearing a backpack and looks like an actor in a children’s tv show on PBS. 

Eddie Vega – Okay, I’m CWF through and through, but this is a mismatch here. I kinda can get through the other guys. They look like one of my bookie’s collectors. But this Lizzie Rose… she’s special.

Ben Price – The Friends Wrestling Alliance is the first non-CWF entity to appear at a CWF event for a 4 Winds Challenge, and they’ve got their work cut out for them tonight. 

Eddie Vega – Well they’ve got the New Kharnival Order and the Bastards to contend with tonight.

Eric Wilson – And their first set of opponents, representing Conquest Wrestling. They are all part of the New Kharnival Order. First from Norfolk, Virginia he is “The Airdevil” Madd Morales. Second, his Homixide Gang Tag Team Partner, from Detroit, Michigan… he is “The Peak of Freak” Monster Mammoth. And their partner for this trios match, from Paris, France… she is Trelisa Perrault!

The camera cuts to a fog filled stage, the fog machines being industrial style.

“SMAKDWN” by the band Homixide Gang starts to play over the Arena’s PA System. The trios for the nKo comes out onto the stage. Perrault to the left, Morales to the right and Monster Mammoth in his full mask and gear in the middle. 

Eddie Vega – As much as I’d love to say that I’m behind the nKo here tonight, everyone knows I’m a Bastard at heart. Sorry Mammoth. I’m sure that my colleague on Vanguard, Ms. Hill, is looking forward to the nKo taking some Legion Titles, though. But I’m not rooting for you. I may have put a small side bet on you though.

Ben Price – Well this matchup is not only a triple threat, but three people on each side. So it’ll be chaotic. And the nKo are the prime team to capitalize on pure Chaos. 

The nKo get to the ring and climb the stairs to enter. Once their inside, both Morales and Mammoth start to comment between each other as to the size and outfits of the FWA team. Mammoth makes a gesture with his forefinger and thumb about how small Lizzie Rose is compared to him. 

Eric Wilson – And the final competitors for this match up… they are the current, reigning 4 Winds Wrestling Legion Champions!

BEEP. CLICK. BEEP BEEP. CLICK.

The electronic opening to Mansun’s “Take it Easy, Chicken” pipes into the arena, shortly followed by the scream of the opening guitar riff. It’s Bastard’s time. Red, white, and blue lights pick out the entrance way as the crowd stands up, waiting to catch a glimpse of the Englishmen. Some of them cheer, some of them boo, but all of them react.

Eric Wilson – They all hail from the United Kingdom… Eddie Williams, Frank Williams, and the 4 Winds Champion, “The Riot Star” Rob Riot…

The curtains part as a battered old Ford Cortina messily careens its way through the curtains, coming to an awkward stop at the top of the ramp. After a moment the Bastards step out of the back, taking a second to mug for the crowd. All three are holding their 4WW Legion titles up for others to see, and over a shoulder, Riot and Williams are holding the CWF Tag Team Championships. Rob Riot is also wearing his 4 Winds Championship.

Eric Wilson – They are the BASTARDS!

Satisfied that everybody’s got the photo they wanted, they nod to each other and then charge the ring, sliding in through the bottom rope.

Quickly things start to look like things are going to break down in the ring, before the match starts. Eric Wilson just about dives out of the ring. Madd Morales and Frank Windsor both start to point fingers at each other.

Ben Price – The referee will have their work cut out for them in this match as well. 

Eddie Vega – There isn’t a referee out here yet. 

Ben Price – Wait, what?

The Screen over the stage switches to a view of Mr. G. Ian Childress sitting at his desk in his office backstage.  He clears his throat and tries to get people’s attention in the ring. 

G. Ian Childress – Ahem… if I can have all 9 competitor’s attention up here… 

The people in the ring stop and look up to the screen. The ring attendants finish getting the gear cleared, while one of them takes the Legion titles and holds onto them. 

G. Ian Childress – The CWF of course offered to have a CWF referee for this match up. But with the Friends Wrestling Alliance coming to visit the CWF… I wanted to make sure that no one thought that the CWF was playing favorites. So for our first external team to come here and compete, I wanted to make sure we had things under control and no one could go home and complain that the CWF maybe had a bias referee come out. 

Ben Price – Yeah, no Leroy Wallace come out please. 

Eddie Vega – Hey, Wallace can be bought by anyone…. Even other federations.  I mean, hey, don’t besmirch one of our Referee’s reputations.

G. Ian Childress – So, I’ve asked someone to come and be a special guest referee for this match up. So… let me introduce the person who will be refereeing this match up. 4WW’s own…Irish Bastard… Sean McClancy!

Ben Price – Ian Childress’ brother in law, but someone who can claim to neither be bought or paid for by the CWF, or the FWA here. 

“Eulogy” by Tool starts to play over the PA system. A large muscular man in a referee’s shirt in blue and white, with the 4 Winds Wrestling Compass Rose logo on the sleeves steps out onto the ramp. He makes his way down to the ring, occasionally high fiving a fan or two. When he gets to the ring, he slides under the bottom rope. 

The ring attendant hands him the Legion titles, which he tosses one over his neck, then holds up the other two for a moment. 

Eddie Vega – Really not liking this match though. Why don’t we have a tag team title match tonight, anyway?

Ben Price – Well I’m told we’ll be having the CWF Tag team championship match coming up early in Season 4. And we just had the Dyad titles change hands on FWA’s Fallout Show in Munich.

Eddie Vega – But how fair is this?

Ben Price – What do you mean? 

Eddie Vega – Rob Riot has to defend the 4 Winds Title… next. And Eddie Williams has an elimination triple threat for the Conquest Title in the main event. So how are the Bastards expected to fight all of these matches here tonight? 

Ben Price – Hey, I’m sure Frank Windsor thinks he could beat both of these teams on his own. Guess he has a chance to prove it.

McClancy gets the ring attendants ready, and then yells for all three teams to put their starter in the ring, and the rest to “get the hell out”.  The Bastards do actually start with Frank Windsor, the Friends Wrestling Alliance starts with Johnny Murdoch, and the nKo has a bit of an issue, until Morales points to Windsor and decides he’ll be the one to start. 

McClancy has all three come to the center of the ring, and gives them a quick rundown. Murdoch motions to see if anyone can understand the native born Irishman. But he does understand the next thing… Sean McClancy calling for the bell.

DING! DING!

Murdoch instantly turns and hits Morales with a huge forearm to his chest, almost hitting him in the throat. Murdoch moves, as Windsor hits a European uppercut on Morales, followed by two more, that push him back to the ropes. Windsor whips Morales to the other side. Murdoch heads to his own corner and climbs up to the top with a leap.

Windsor follows him in, looking for a Clothesline at a run, but Morales hooks his arm and tries for a crucifix driver. Murdoch comes off the turnbuckle with a flying dropkick that hits Windsor in the chest, forcing Morales’ move to also affect him. 

Windsor falls onto Morales, and McClancy is right there to check for a pinfall. At first Morales’ shoulder isn’t down, but as soon as they roll a bit, McClancy starts a count.

… One

Morales quickly gets his shoulder up to break the count. He tries to lock his leg around Windsor’s throat, but Windsor fights that move. 

Ben Price – And that was a quick attempted count there. All of these teams are going to have to get used to three people in the ring at any one time.

Murdoch gets up to his feet, and rushes the ropes. He hops up and hits a springboard, spins, and comes down with a leg drop that lands solidly across Windsor’s chest. Murdoch scrambles to his feet, and grabs Windsor’s hair, to pull him to his feet. He pulls him over to his corner, and reaches over to tag in Sonny Zucko. Zucko comes in and grabs Windsor in a waistlock. 

McClancy warns the FWA about the five count for double teaming, and then starts his count.

… 1

 As soon as Zucko has Windsor, Murdoch comes off the ropes with a superkick, while Zucko takes Windsor over with a german suplex. 

… 2

Murdoch quickly gets through the ropes. 

Ben Price – Quick double team move from the FWA team… What do we call them? 

Eddie Vega – Well I thought they were the FWA… from the FWA.

Ben Price – Huh?

Eddie Vega – Finally I get something over on you. They’re the Friends Wrestling Alliance, from the Fantasy Wrestling Alliance. 

Ben Price – That’s confusing. 

Eddie Vega – Yes.

Morales gets up, shakes his head, and seeing the larger of the two regular teammates from the FWA in the ring, goes to his corner and tags in Monster Mammoth. The huge man climbs over the top rope, and gets setup. Zucko works Windsor back up to his feet. He pushes him back into his own corner. Murdoch grabs hold of Windsor, as Zucko takes a few steps back and then rushes in with a shoulder to Windsor’s midsection. He then comes up and starts to hit Windsor with a series of punches, and European Uppercuts. 

When McClancy sees Murdoch holding on, he starts a count for interference.

… 1

… 2

… 3

… 4 

Suddenly Mammoth comes running in with a corner splash that slams into Zucko from behind… and squishes Windsor as well. Mammoth pulls back and punches Murdoch, knocking him off the ring apron. Another punch for Lizzie Rose, gets ducked under. 

Ben Price – And the Mammoth just did a stampede on his own!

Eddie Vega – Big man just squished two other men in the corner. 

Mammoth pulls Zucko off Windsor with both hands and beals the bigger man out of the corner!

Ben Price – Holy shi… he just tossed Sonny Zucko like a rag doll. 

Mammoth puts both of his hands around Frank Windsor’s throat. He pulls him out of the corner, lifts him up as McClancy again lays into someone for breaking the rules.

… 1

… 2 

… 3

Just as Mammoth turns around to look towards his own corner, Rose comes off the top turnbuckle with a flying knee that hits him in the back of the head. Mammoth drops Windsor down. 

Ben Price – The Homixide Gang still want to almost murder Frank Windsor here. But Lizzie Rose with a desperation move from the corner. I’m being told that due to this being a triple threat, if one team gets disqualified, they’ll just be eliminated from the match… 

Eddie Vega – The Gang has had a long standing feud with Windsor and his Wardogs… Windsor recently beat Monster Mammoth in a bloody battle. 

Mammoth turns around to look for who hit him in the head. He finds Rose, reaches out and grabs her by the throat. 

Windsor scrambles for his corner… 

Mammoth lifts Rose up with a guzzle, but before he can slam her down, he’s met by two superman style punches from her partners!

Ben Price – Good Vibrations from the two men from the Goode Garage. And they just saved Lizzie Rose from a huge hurting.

Eddie Vega – And Zucko is actually the legal man!

Murdoch grabs Rose and gets her out of the ring, listening to the referee. While Zucko backs up a bit. As Mammoth sits up, Zucko comes forward at a run and hits a huge big boot to Mammoths’ face. He then drops down and goes for a pinfall. 

McClancy slides into place, checks the shoulders, and starts to count. 

… One

…… Two

Eddie Williams drops across the pinfall with a double axe handle to the back of Zucko’s head. He pulls Zucko off Mammoth and spins around to toss him shoulder first to a corner. He turns back to Mammoth and crouches down. 

Ben Price – Windsor tagged Eddie Williams in while the camera was on the pinfall action here. Williams, Zucko and Mammoth are now the legal men in the ring. 

Eddie Vega – And Williams needs to save some of whatever it is he’s got. He’s still got a Conquest Title match tonight, also a triple threat match. That one is an Elimination match.

Mammoth starts to get up, rolling to his knees. Once he’s in a kneeling position, Williams comes in with a kick that hits him solidly right under his sternum. He grabs his head, and snaps a DDT down hard. 

He kips up to his feet, and then looks down at the bigger man. He starts to roll him over, when Zucko runs in with a huge forearm smash, followed up by a kick to the midsection. Zucko hooks Williams up, and pulls him vertical for a suplex… and holds it for a moment. 

Ben Price – Big show of strength for Sonny Zucko. 

Zucko turns around a bit and drops Williams back on top of Mammoth. Zucko then gets up and tries to cover Mammoth, with Williams under him. 

Eddie Vega – That’s not going to work. 

McClancy checks Mammoth’s shoulders, but they’re not both down. He signals to Zucko that it’s not going to work. Zucko tries to move the stack to get Mammoth’s shoulders down, when he suddenly pushes up and tosses both Zucko and Williams aside. 

Ben Price – You gotta keep hitting Monster Mammoth to keep him down… they let the Peak of Freak rest enough.

Williams rolls when he lands, slipping back into his corner, but crouched down, not going for a tag. Zucko comes up to his feet, as Mammoth is using the ropes to pull himself up. Zucko goes running at Mammoth. Mammoth pulls the top rope down as he ducks, and Zucko straddles the top rope in a bad way when it’s let go. Mammoth gets up to his feet.

Ben Price – OOOWWW! Not how you want to end on a big boot attempt

Williams runs in on Mammoth and drops down for a chop block. Mammoth drops down to one knee, holding onto the ropes. This bounces Zucko off the ropes, and he falls to the outside, but his tag team partner, Murdoch is there to help him down. 

Williams pops back up and hits the ropes behind him, and comes in, slamming a knee to the back of Mammoth’s head. He pulls Mammoth down to the mat again, and gets ready for a pin attempt… Morales sails in from his corner, landing on Williams’ back with a meteora!

Ben Price – And the Airdevil puts a stop to another Bastard pin attempt.

Morales pulls Williams up and sends him to the neutral corner. McClancy quickly gets into his face, and warns him, then starts a count again. 

… 1

Morales starts to help Mammoth to his feet. 

… 2

Mammoth gets up, and slowly starts to head for his corner. 

… 3

Morales rushes to his corner, and slips through the ropes. 

Ben Price – And the nKo look to need a change out.

Zucko and Murdoch get back up into their corner. Zucko quickly reaches over and tags in Lizzie Rose. Rose jumps up and down, and then does a handstand over the ropes to enter the ring. Perrault extends her hand out, and as Rose is running at Mammoth, he reaches out and tags in Trelisa Perrault. 

Rose stops cold, and puts her hands up as Perrault comes in between the ropes. 

Ben Price – And now the two ladies in this match are ready to square up. 

A commotion is shown in the ring side seats.

Ben Price – What’s this? 

Eddie Vega – I think that’s Miguel Lanza…

It is indeed, as Miguel Lanza, Jr slips into a ringside seat, conveniently behind the corner for the nKo. He’s got a bunch of popcorn, a large drink, nachos and a couple of hot dogs, that he sits down on the chair next to him. 

He’s soon noticed by Monster Mammoth who gets down from his corner spot, and walks over to stand in front of him. Event Security quickly gets between them.  Madd Morales climbs down and tries to get Mammoth focused back on the match.

Lanza sits back and takes a drink, and eats a handful of popcorn.

Eddie Vega – Now this is unfair.

Ben Price – He’s not in the ring. He’s not involved. Just getting a good spot to watch the rest of the match.

Rose and Perrault get about two feet apart in the ring. Rose extends her hand to Perrault, looking to be asking if they can be friends. 

Eddie Vega – What is this?

Ben Price – Hey, good friendships can be had in wrestling. 

Eddie Vega – Not when a title is on the line. 

Perrault says something that the microphone doesn’t pick up, but it sounds French. Rose suddenly turns, bringing her body into a form of spinning kick, but Perrault ducks under, and catches Rose from behind. She grabs her arms into a double chicken wing, and takes her over with a tiger suplex. She tries to bridge up for a pin. 

McClancy slides into place, and checks the shoulders. 

… One

… Two… Williams dives in to break up the bridge, and thus break up the pin. 

Ben Price – And Eddie Williams with a save. 

Eddie Vega – He’s being smart here. He’s not doing things that take up a lot of energy, saving it for his later match. But so far, the Bastards are still the champs. 

Perrault rolls to her feet, and comes up next to Eddie Williams. Williams turns and goes for a kick, but she catches his foot. She doesn’t hesitate and takes him over with a snapping dragon screw leg whip that sends him towards her own corner. Perrault rolls with that move, and comes back up to her knees, then her feet. 

But she’s met by a running dropkick from Lizzie Rose!

Ben Price – Back to just trading things back and forth. 

Eddie Vega – Madd Morales about to get involved here as well!

Eddie Williams gets to his feet, and sees Madd Morales has come into the ring. Morales hits the ropes on the other side, and comes at Eddie Williams. He dodges to the side an attempted bicycle kick. 

But this gets him caught by a huge hammer fist to the back of his neck and shoulders by Monster Mammoth. Morales turns to go for something else, but Sean McClancy comes up, and interposes, and points for him to get back onto the apron. Morales tries to argue, but the large Irishman tells him he’s got no choice. 

As Perralt gets to her knees, next to the ropes she’s suddenly met by Rose with a huge running knee strike. The impact snaps Perrault’s head to the side, and she slumps over the bottom rope. 

Ben Price – Oooh, damn. She calls that the Friendly Knee, but doesn’t look that friendly from this side.

Eddie Vega – No, not at all.

Rose pulls back and plays up how she just cleaned Perrault’s clock. She starts to back up, maybe going for another one. She starts to run, but she ends up getting intercepted by Eddie Williams who turns it into a overhead release belly to belly suplex. 

Ben Price – And Eddie Williams might have just saved Trelisa Perrault from getting a concussion. 

Zucko comes into the ring, and sideswipes Williams as he’s getting back up with a superkick. This time it was Rob Riot who moved in quickly, hitting Zucko with a superkick of his own. He grabbed Williams and tossed him towards their own corner. 

Zucko and Riot then started to trade punches, which finally got a McClancy rebuke.

… 1

… 2

Riot grabbed Zucko’s arm mid punch, and twisted it.

… 3

Riot dropped down with an Eat Defeat on Zucko, that sent him back towards his own corner. 

… 4

Riot rolls for the apron, and then the floor to break the count. 

Williams reaches up for a tag, and Windsor takes it. 

Ben Price – And another Bastard’s tag. Although, for reference, so far only Rob Riot has not been a legal person in this match up. 

The camera cuts to outside the ring where Miguel Lanza, Jr has rolled up one of the show programs, and is starting a “Mammoth Sucks” chant with the crowd. Mammoth suddenly jumps down and goes over to try to get into Lanza’s face. 

Eddie Vega – See, now Lanza is getting involved. 

Ben Price – Hey, he’s in the audience. He can chant anything he wants. 

Riot, seeing Mammoth distracted, taps Williams on the leg. Williams looks over, nods and jumps down. 

Mammoth reaches over and grabs the rolled up program from Lanza. He throws it down and looks like he’s about to get into it with Lanza at ringside, when both Riot and Williams rush him and take him down to the floor, and start to drop fists and boots onto him.

Ben Price – And that’s one way to go Mammoth Hunting. 

Eddie Vega – Hopefully that doesn’t cost them the match!

In the ring,  Rose pulls Perrault up to her feet. She gets her locked into a wrist lock, and tries to transition it, but Perrault blocks it, and turns it into an Aikido style hip throw. Before she can capitalize on it, Windsor comes in and hooks Perrault for an exploder suplex. He takes her over, easy. 

Eddie Vega – And the workhorse for this match gets back to work.

Windsor gets back up, and catches Perrault as she’s coming in with an arm wringer of his own. He twists it, and then hits her with a short arm clothesline. Perrault gets back up to her feet and hits a basement dropkick to Windsor’s knee. 

Ben Price – And now I think Frank Windsor has attracted the attention of both women. 

Perrault and Rose both line up on Windsor, and both look at each other. Perrault says something and extends her hand. Rose takes it… then grabs her wrists with both hands, twists and pulls her into a huge knee that catches Perrault on the chin. She crumples to the mat. 

Ben Price – And the Friendly Knee #2 shows how much she values a potential friendship with Trelissa Perault after the original rebuke.

Rose tries to roll Perrault up for a pinfall!

… One

…… Two

………. The… Windsor pulls her off with a waist lock, and transitions into a belly to back suplex!

Ben Price – that one was close, but Frank Windsor saves it for the Bastards!

Rose comes up and looks to poke one of Windsor’s eyes with a thumb! She gets a warning from McClancy but she shrugs it off. 

Eddie Vega – Hey! She just poked him in the eye. 

Ben Price – She got a warning, but it looks like Windsor is still in the match. 

Lizzie Rose moves back, away from Windsor but also where she can watch Perrault, who has moved herself over towards her corner. But no one is there for her to tag in with.

Williams and Riot both duck under an attempted double clothesline on the outside by Monster Mammoth. This brings Mammoth solidly into a running European uppercut from Zucko. Murdoch comes off the apron with a topé suicida that slams Mammoth’s back into the ringside barrier. 

Perrault pulls herself up with the ropes, but looks outside and sees everyone ganging up on Monster Mammoth.

Eddie Vega – The Bastards dodged, and the Friends took advantage.

Williams looks up and sees Morales getting up onto the turnbuckle from the outside. 

Windsor turns around to find Morales taunting him with the devil horns. But before he can come off the turnbuckle, Williams jumps up to the apron and pulls hard on the top rope. Morales falls to straddle the turnbuckle. Williams grabs him and pulls him off the turnbuckle, but both fall to the outside. Riot is there and starts to put the boots to Morales, while Williams starts to hit him with a few fists as he gets to his feet. 

Eddie Vega – Eddie Williams with the save, and takes Morales to the outside as well. 

Ben Price – And now the Bastards start to drop the hammer on Madd Morales, while the Friends Wrestling Alliance is fighting with the rest of the nKo!

Lizzie Rose hits the ropes and comes off with a springboard into a dragon-rana. She tries to roll it up and hook Windsor’s legs for a pin.

… One

……. Two

……… The… Windsor kicks out, pushing the smaller Lizzie Ross off of him. 

Ben Price – That one was close! 

Outside the ring, Murdoch and Zucko are both fighting Monster Mammoth. Perault comes off the ring apron, and hits a tornado DDT on Murdoch, that takes him down to the floor hard. She also appears to have a hard hit, as she arches up and tries to hold her back. 

Ben Price – It has now fully broken down out here!

Eddie Vega – That had to hurt, and hurt a lot, for both of them. 

Eddie Williams slams Madd Morales into the ring steps in the one neutral corner. They blow out with a huge clamour. He then lines up, and catches Morales with his Ed Kick shining wizard!

Ben Price – Williams might have just taken out Madd Morales there. 

Eddie Vega – If he didn’t, Riot is about to. 

Riot comes over, pulls Morales up into a headlock driver on the outside.

Both Riot and Williams climb back up into their corner with haste.

In the ring, Lizzie Rose has recovered, and gets back towards her, currently empty corner. Windsor is slowly coming up to his feet. Rose  signals to the crowd, and then sets up. She goes running towards Frank Windsor as he’s still bent over slightly. She dives and grabs his waist, and tries to take him over into a variant of a backstabber, but Windsor blocks it, falling to his knees, so she continues to sail over him and fall to her back. 

Ben Price – She missed with the move she calls the “Kiss from a Rose”.  If she would have hit that, then Frank Windsor would be needing a Chiropractor.

Eddie Vega – I don’t know what move that is, but she missed it. 

Williams enters the ring to a warning from the Refere. Windsor pulls Rose up to her feet, and sees Williams coming in. He nods to him, and then whips her to the ropes.

Riot enters the ring, also getting a warning from McClancy

Ben Price – All three Bastards are in the ring! Come on McClancy!

Eddie Vega – For once I can tell you, he can’t start the count till one of the other Bastards actually touches the legal person!

Windsor goes for a half assed clothesline, but Rose ducks under it and hits the ropes on the other side. When she comes off, she finds both Windsor and Williams there. They catch her into a double flap jack and lift her up. 

McClancy instantly starts the 5 count

… 1

But Riot catches Rose with a cutter as she comes down from the double flapjack lift up.

Eddie Vega – HARD BREXIT!

Ben Price – And the bastards hit the Hard Brexit!

… 2

Morales comes up onto the apron, and starts to climb in. Williams and Windsor both rush over and hit dual knee lifts to take him off the apron. He falls back into Murdoch, and both then crumple to the floor.  Riot calls Windsor over, as he’s the legal man.

… 3

Riot rolls to the apron, and then to his feet on the outside. He gets up to a run, and hits Zucko with a flying forearm off the nearest ring steps. Williams flies through the ropes with a topé suicida that slams him into Monster Mammoth’s back!

Windsor flips Rose over and hooks her leg for a pinfall. 

… One

……. Two

……… Three! 

Trelisa Perrault jumps onto Windsor’s back and tries to lock in a rear naked choke… but McClancy gets up and calls for the bell!

DING! DING! DING!

Perrault and Windsor fall to the side, the rear naked choke locked on.  Murdoch and Zucko both slip into the ring, and immediately go to check on Lizzie Rose. 

Ben Price – And Trelisa Perrault is not letting go, but it’s too late. Frank Windsor got the pin!

Eric Wilson – The winners of this match up, and STILL the REIGNING 4 Winds Legion Champions… Frank Windsor, Eddie Williams and Rob Riot… The BASTARDS!

Riot and Williams both slip back into the ring. They move to try to get Perrault off of Windsor, with their feet kicking at her. Morales and Mammoth make their way into the ring as well.

Ben Price – And things look like they’re about to break down again here!

Eddie Vega – And the match is over, not much Sean McClancy can do anymore. 

Morales jumps Williams from behind as he’s pulling Perrault up to her feet, and off Windsor. Riot goes after Morales. 

Mammoth goes to get Riot, when someone slides into the ring, and then spears Mammoth, and starts to throw hammer style fists down. 

Ben Price – Miguel Lanza! He just jumped the barricade, and speared Mammoth just about out of his boots!

Eddie Vega – What the hell is he doing?

Ben Price – Well we heard his challenge of Mammoth for the first show of Season 4. Those two have had some issues for a while, and Lanza thinks Mammoth has been avoiding them. So I’d assume he figures, this will make sure Mammoth answers his challenge.

Riot gets his hands on Morales, and pulls him off Williams. Riot whips Morales to the ropes, and Williams hits him with a Pele Kick as he comes off. 

Murdoch and Zucko both pull Lizzie Rose out of the ring, and get her out of the continued fighting. They collect Rose’s backpack and start to head up the ramp, watching the ring. 

Perrault decides to slip out of the ring, reach in and grab Morales by the foot and pull him outside. 

Eddie Vega – Someone get Lanza out of the ring!

Sean McClancy finally comes over and pulls Lanza up. Lanza turns to fight whoever pulled him up, but decides discretion is needed. Once he’s no longer on the attack, Mammoth starts to get up. Morales and Perrault call out to him, and instead of fighting more, he drops down and rolls out of the ring. 

Miguel Lanza can be heard yelling at Mammoth as he retreats with the nKo.

Miguel Lanza – Do I have your attention, now Mammoth? Warzone Episode 1… you and me.

Ben Price – Looks like things are getting cleaned up here. While we reset, I’m told we’re going to turn it over once again to Las Vegas’ own 5 Finger Death Punch… with their song, My Nemesis.

The camera cuts over to the small stage setup in the off to the side of the main stage coming from the locker room. Ivan Moody and the rest of 5 Finger Death Punch are set up and as soon as the drone cameras are in place, start to perform. 

When the band finishes, the cameras are on the ring.

Ben Price – Ladies and gentlemen, while we get ready for our next match. Let’s go to the ring for an introduction to a new CWF Signee… another Las Vegas native, Boston Idol.

Eddie Vega – Who?

Ben Price – New guy, listen…

Inside the ring, we find Joseph Greer is accompanied by another man. He must be the aforementioned Boston Idol. 

He appears at a stocky 260 lbs, with bleach blonde, well kept hair and is clean shaven, showing a completely deferential and respectful demeanor to the great interviewer with just a hint of cockiness if you really pay attention.

The fan base, with most knowing or hearing that Idol is a fellow resident of Las Vegas, shows support for the hometown man and quiets to a respectful level as Joseph begins to speak.

Joseph Greer – I thank you for allowing me to speak to you at this time and welcome to the CWF.  I guess the first question I have is why did you choose the CWF out of all the places who had shown interest for your debut into the world of pro wrestling?

Idol nods at this and in a calm and even tone answers,

Boston Idol – First, thank you, Mister Greer.  I guess the best answer I could give to this that most would take the easy, get your feet wet approach but that’s not my style.  I’ve spent the last 15 months training, not only my mind but my body for this.  I grew up here in this beautiful city and I graduated from the great University of Nevada.  And anyone who knows anything about a man from Vegas is is that we don’t always take the easy route.  We gamble.  We take risks.  We double down and we go all in and where better can these things happen other than the CWF? 

Don’t get me wrong.  There are great athletes from other promotions here for this event but I signed a contract that implies I have what it takes to be the best and for that to happen, I have to beat the best and looking out at all of my fellow Las Vegans, some of the greatest fans in the world, I know I can do it.

Let’s face facts, Mister Greer. I am perhaps the most handsome and the most physically gifted man today and that comes from years of hard work in the gym and it’s only common sense because looking around this arena, there’s really no slouches here so the race to be the best is never ending.

The crowd cheers at these positive words directed at them and at the acknowledgment of Vegas’ reputation for gambling then after a few seconds, Greer looking a little bemused by this continues,

Joseph Greer – Well, that being said, what are your plans for the future here?  There’s great competitors up and down this roster.  Do you have any particular opponents in mind for now?

Idol, nodding at Greer’s words while his head is slightly bowed in thought, pauses for only a second before answering.

Boston Idol – Of course I’ve given it thought but I have my whole career to lay down challenges and pick fights.  We are in Sin City and the night is ALWAYS young here so I’ll start fussing tomorrow because tonight, I plan on watching the best in the world go at it alongside all these great fans here and then go out and paint the town more red than a perfect ruby and who better to do that than someone with a perfect visage, such as myself.

Joseph Greer – Well, I thank you for your time.  Boston Idol, everyone.

Ben Price – He may be a little cocky. 

Eddie Vega – Well, I for one am actually looking forward to see where he goes. 

Ben Price – Well, now that the ring is cleared, that means it’s time for our next match…. 

Eddie Vega – Only two left to go, so that means… Rob Riot and -D- for the 4 Winds Championship!

Ben Price – And the winner, may be facing Abdul bin Hussein, the DPW National Champion in the near future.

Again the camera cuts to the ring.

Eric Wilson – The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the 4WW heavyweight championship! Featuring first the challenger, hailing from parts unknown…he is “D”!

“Freak” by Silverchair begins playing as D walks out from the back to a cascade of boos from the audience. He ignores the fans and makes his way toward the ring where he enters and begins stretching while waiting for his opponent.

Ben Price – D is here for Rob Riot’s title and career. Think he can take both?

Eddie Vega – He might have the skills,but can he overcome Rob Riot? Riot is PISSED.

Ben Price – Well, yeah. When you think you have an ally and they turn out to be not so, you tend to get pissed.

Eddie Vega – He was like a brother to Riot! 

Eric Wilson – And his opponent, hailing from Blackpool, England…he is the 4WW heavyweight champion…Rob Riot!

“I Feel You” by Depeche Mode bursts through the arena PA as the entrance ramp is bathed in red and white spotlights. They arc and twist over the ramp, waiting to pick out Rob Riot. Just as the vocals kick in, Riot steps through the curtains, twirling his long black ring jacket behind him as he does. He takes a moment to soak in the crowd’s response, nodding to himself as he does, before turning his attention to the ring.

Raising one arm and clenching his fist in the air, Riot walks down to the ring, now oblivious to the crowd around him. He’s all business. He walks around the ring once and takes his time to climb up the steps, walking half way along the ring and wiping his feet before he steps through the ropes. He hand over the 4WW championship belt to referee, Scott Jones, who presents it to the crowd before handing it off to the timekeeper. Eric Wilson makes to leave when Rob Riot stops him and grabs the microphone.

Rob Riot – This is supposed to be for the title, but it’s also for a career. 

Rob Riot looks across the ring at D, who nods.

Rob Riot – As such, this is a last-man-standing match!

Rob gives the microphone back to Eric Wilson, who leaves the ring. D and Rob Riot meet in the center of the ring.

D – For what it’s worth, I’m sorry.

Rob Riot – Whether or not that’s true now, it will be by the time we’re done.

D begins an assault with lefts and rights that Rob Riot begins deflecting as soon as the punches come in. Riot catches a wrist and pulls D in for a punch to the midsection before laying into D with lefts and rights of his own that drive the enigma back to the ropes so that Rob Riot can whip him across the ring. On the rebound, Riot goes for a clothesline, but D tucks into a roll under the outstretched arm and bounces back up to hit the ropes on the opposite side. He continues back as Rob Riot spins around and drills the champion with a dropkick that sends Rob to the mat.

D sends a kick Rob’s way, who rolls to the side to avoid it and gets back to his feet. D goes into a spin, aiming a kick for Rob’s chest when Rob grabs hold of the ankle and pulls D into a vicious short arm clothesline! D starts to get up when Rob stomps on his hands and then kicks D solidly in the ribcage. Rob’s hands go to his waist where he has a belt hanging over his wrestling tights. 

Ben Price – He doesn’t use a belt to keep wrestling tights up. What do you suppose that’s there for?

Eddie Vega – Oh, this is gonna get good.

Rob Riot takes the belt off and folds it in half as D starts to get up and lashes him across the back with it. D arches his back and rolls away from Rob Riot, but does not escape the lash as Rob strikes him again and again. D starts to get up, but Riot kicks him back to the mat before whipping him across the face with the belt. D falls back to the mat, blood streaming from a gash on his face. Rob Riot gets him into a seated position and places a knee to his back while wrapping the belt once around D’s neck to begin choking him from behind.

Rob Riot – Is this worth it? We could have fought them! We could have fought them together! You chose this fate for yourself! 

D struggles with the belt to try to get it off of his neck, but doesn’t seem to be getting any traction. He reaches into a pocket with one hand and brings it up over his head to throw a fireball into Rob’s face! Rob releases the belt and backs up a few steps, his hands flying to his face. D takes the belt from his neck and takes in a deep breath before rising calmly to his feet. He takes the belt and snaps it at Rob Riot, leaving a long welt across his chest. Another lash, the belt buckle striking Rob in the temple and taking him down with a blood splatter across the mat. D wraps the belt around his hand so that the belt buckle lays across his knuckles as Rob works to get back up. He strikes Rob in the side of the face with the belt buckle, sending him down to all fours, blood raining to the mat.

D – You don’t understand.

Rob Riot tries to get back up again and is struck in the jaw with the belt buckle that sends him back down to all fours where Rob spits blood onto the mat. Another strike to the back of the head plants Rob face first onto the mat. D walks away for a moment, taking the belt off of his hand and throwing it from the ring. He climbs to the top rope, looking down as Rob Riot lies in his own blood. If he thinks twice about his next action, it doesn’t show on his face as he leaps through the air for a moonsault that hits only mat as Rob Riot rolls out of the ring!

Ben Price – Rob had the energy to get out of the ring and out of the way of this move!

Eddie Vega – D said Riot doesn’t understand?  I don’t know what Rob isn’t understanding.

Ben Price – I don’t know. It must have something to do with the von Krausses.

Eddie Vega – It almost certainly does.

Rob Riot stands up and grabs D by the ankles to drag him out of the ring. D kicks him in the face and stands up inside the ring, grabbing the top rope, and using it to slingshot over and to land on top of Rob Riot to drive him to the floor! D gets right back up, pulling Rob up, and starts to whip him into the ring steps, but Rob reverses it and sends D face first into the ring steps to demolish them! 

D gets into a seated position by the remains of the steps, blood trickling down his face from his wounds and onto his chest. Rob Riot walks over to kick him in the chest and hesitates. 

Rob Riot – I don’t understand what?

Rob kicks D in the chest, sending him and the remaining step backward neatly a foot. 

Rob Riot – I wouldn’t understand that they put Alyssa in danger? We could have protected her! We could have protected you!

A solid stomp to the face, leaves D’s nose a bent mess of blood and snot.

Rob Riot – You were always about the game, D. Always. Now, I’m afraid the game has left you behind.

Rob picks up the top part of the ring steps and holds them over his head, the intent in his eyes clear. 

Rob Riot – Goodbye, brother. 

Alyssa Lucchi – NO!

Alyssa shoulder charges Rob Riot from behind, causing him to drop the top of the ring steps behind him, straight onto Alyssa’s head and knocking her to the floor. Blood begins to pool around her head as Rob Riot glances down in sudden worry.

Ben Price – Oh no! Alyssa is hurt! 

Eddie Vega – She should not have gotten into this business here. 

Rob Riot starts to reach down for Alyssa when D moves almost faster than the eye can follow. He rushes Rob and hits the Sliced Bread #2, bouncing Rob’s off of the concrete next to the downed Alyssa. Daniel Corgan gets to Alyssa’s side from ringside with a cloth to apply pressure to the wound in Alyssa’s head as fellow EMTs rush from the back to come help get her to the back. 

D, covered in his own and Alyssa’s blood, walks over and picks up a steel chair, folding it. Rob Riot starts to get up and D slams him across the back with the chair. 

D – It’s all about you. Your feud with the von Krausses. Your championship belt. Your half of a brotherhood. 

With the end of each sentence, comes a slam of the steel chair.

D – Did you think I wanted to do this? Did you think that I would simply choose my own life over yours? 

One more smash with the steel chair as Rob Riot is trying to get up, catching him in the side of the head hard enough to spin him around and for him to fall to the floor. The blow tears open a gash by Rob’s eye and he bleeds onto the floor. D tosses the now broken chair to the side. 

D – You can’t protect Alyssa. You can’t protect me…

D slides into the ring and run across it while Rob grabs the ring apron to slowly pull himself up. His eyes go wide when he sees D coming straight for him with a baseball slide drop kick! D springs back to his feet and goes to the top rope before hitting a twisting plancho from the sky to the floor! He rolls off of the downed Riot and back into the ring so that Scott Jones can start the count. 

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…Rob Riot gets back up, using the ring apron as a crutch. 

D crosses the ring as Rob Riot gets up onto the ring apron, clearly looking for the Kinshasa, but Riot drops back down to the floor so that D can go through the ropes to the outside where he smashes into the ring railing. Rob walks over to the downed D and kicks him in the side of the face, painting audience members in blood. He gets D to his back and lifts the section of railing up so that he can place a section down over D’s throat. 

Rob Riot – You don’t know that! You don’t know anything! We would have found out what we could have done! We would have found out together!

Ben Price – Is he intending to kill D?

Eddie Vega – I mean. It sure looks like it.

Rob Riot casually pushes down on the section of ring railing to choke D for a few seconds before switching to grabbing his legs and slingshotting him up, knocking down the section of ring railing! D clutches at his throat, rolling around on the floor. Rob grabs him and lays him across the Spanish announce table before climbing up there. 

Rob Riot – We could have defeated them. Now, I will go on to do so without you. 

Rob Riot gets D into a side headlock and before he goes for the headlock driver, D gets him up into the air, breaking the headlock. He brings Rob down, back first, through the table, sending them both to the floor! 

Ben Price – What a reversal by D!

Eddie Vega – He still has some fight left in him. 

D stands up and puts a foot to Rob’s throat.

D – Admit it. The Great Rob Riot only fights the von Krausses because they fight him. No grand cause for justice. No deep need to do what’s right. Self-preservation.

D takes his foot off of Rob’s throat and hits a quick standing moonsault before getting up and leaning against the ring post so that Scott Jones can once again begin counting. 

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…Rob Riot gets up!

D rushes over to the newly risen Rob and hits a knee lift to the gut before hitting a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! He brings Rob back up and rolls him into the ring, following. D walks over to the corner, staggering a bit at one point, and climbs to the top rope. He positions himself as he watches Rob Riot get up and goes for a missile dropkick! Rob sidesteps, catches D, and twirls to send D flying from the ring and onto the floor! Rob looks at the top rope for a moment but then decides against it. He motions to the referee to make the count.

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…D gets up!

Ben Price -These two men have lost so much blood that I don’t think that continuing this match is a good idea at all.

Eddie Vega – You know, you might be right. 

Rob Riot slides out of the ring and looks faint for a moment before he advances on D and pops him in the jaw with a superkick! He pulls D back up from the floor into an Argentine backbreaker and hits the Riot Rack! He steps away from the downed D and looks to Scott Jones, who motions for Rob Riot to get back into the ring. 

So as Rob Riot gets into the ring, Scott Jones begins a fresh count.

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…D gets up!

Ben Price – What’s this? He got up from the Riot Rack?

Eddie Vega – He’s determined to finish his mission.

Ben Price – I mean there’s determined and there’s…whatever this is.

Eddie Vega – I know. I don’t know what’s driving these two still. 

Rob Riot slides out of the ring and goes to attack d once again, but D spits black mist straight into his eyes. Rob Riot backs up a few steps, his hands flying to his face to wipe at the muck. D rolls him back into the ring and follows. He applies the Straightjacket Stranglehold, really applying the pressure. 

D – It’s over, Rob. Let it go.

D keeps the move on until Rob falls limp and then breaks the hold so that Scott Jones can begin counting once again. 

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…Rob Riot gets up! 

Ben Price – D can’t believe that Rob Riot got back up!

Eddie Vega – D? Heck, I don’t believe that he got back up!

Rob Riot takes a step toward D and falls to one knee in a moment of weakness. 

Rob Riot – This is getting us nowhere. Shall we up the stakes? LOWER THE CELL!

D looks up briefly to see that a Cell cage is being lowered down over the ring to keep the two men entrapped. While distracted Rob grabs him and throws him over the ropes and into the cage wall as it settles so that D lands on the space on the floor inside the cell. Rob slides out of the ring and grabs D by the back of the head to slam his face into the steel and then rakes his face across the unyielding metal!

Ben Price – Oh my!

Eddie Vega – Rob Riot painting the cage!

D catches Rob in the side of the head with a back elbow before reaching back to grab him by the back of the head and slam his face into the cell a few times! D backs away from Rob Riot, panting and bleeding, his war paint nearly all gone. Rob Riot looks at him, his own face and chest covered in blood. 

Rob Riot – Welcome to Chekov’s Cell. Counts don’t matter anymore. This ends when you go off this cell, or you go through it. 

D says nothing in response, but begins climbing with Rob Riot nodding to himself and heads for the door. D finds a hatch at the top of the cell that he climbs through while Rob Riot climbs the outside of the cell. They meet in what would be the center of the ring on the top of the cell, both men dripping blood down to the mat far below. 

Rob Riot punches D in the face, D punches Rob in the face. The two exchange punches like weary boxers, no defenses, no flourish in their punches. Just smashing each other just as hard as they can and remaining upright. They continue this for a few seconds until they strike each other at the same time and both fall to the top of the cage, breathing heavily. Scott Jones sees that they are down, but makes no attempt to start a count as that is no longer the way to win the match. 

Ben Price – This is a good time to stop the match.

Eddie Vega – I’m sensing that Valora is behind this match with the rules being changed and the cell just being “here”. 

Ben Price – That is some favor.

Eddie Vega – Right? Now all Rob Riot has to do is survive this match so he can pay that favor back. 

D is the first to get up. He grabs Rob and begins to pull him up, but is dragged down into a jawbreaker! Rob Riot then stands and pulls D up into a power bomb position. 

He begins walking with D in the air until he gets to the edge of the cell….

…and just hurls D through the air! The crowd on the floor parts like the Red Sea for D to impact the hard ground and then they swallow him whole. 

Seeing a man flung from the top of a cell to the floor without so much as a table to break his fall is enough for Scott Jones, who finally calls for the bell. 

Eric Wilson – Winner of the match and STILL 4WW Heavyweight champion…Rob Riot! 

Rob Riot climbs down the cage side and ventures into the crowd where he threw D. He looks, but the enigma is gone. 

Ben Price – Where did he go?

Eddie Vega – Gone forever and good riddance!

Rob Riot struggles to look for D, but then staggers a little. Daniel Corgan is by his side and quickly so is Valora Salinas, helping Rob Riot to the back. Rob looks back for signs of D as he’s being helped, but there’s still no sign. He either crawled away from the impact, or someone took his broken body away before the crowd parted. 

Ben Price – He couldn’t have survived that fall, could he? 

Eddie Vega – This is CWF, buddy. The laws of physics don’t apply here. Maybe he evaporated?

Ben Price – Evaporated? 

Eddie Vega – Yeah, like, turned into gas. Anyway, he’s gone, Riot’s still the champ, and we’re going to need this blood mopped up before the next match. Clean up on aisle five! 

Ben Price – And now… it’s time. Season 3 is about to end!

Eddie Vega – And the Bastards are about to have CWF Conquest Gold again. 

Ben Price – Well three people are entering, one leaves as the champion. Elimination rules…

Eddie Vega – This is going to end Season 3 and show the path that the CWF will be taking as we go into the future and Season 4!

Ben Price – I can’t wait for this.  This is not the match of the night, but potentially the match of the season.  3 of the top stars in CWF in one ring, battling it out to determine the Conquest champion.

Eddie Vega – 2.  Abigail and Eddie are both legit.  Kronin is a poser.

Ben Price – He’s also the longest reigning Conquest Champion in CWF history.

Eddie Vega – Well there is a 2 in 3 chance that reign comes to an end tonight and if he does lose, he’ll be the only member of Bad Company to lose!

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen the next match is an Elimination match and it is set to last until only one fighter is left.  Introducing first.

Eric is cut off as the arena goes dark and another voice is heard on the mic with music from the band backing him up

Benj Webbe – Stand to attention i come to mention, now we’re gonna take you in a different direction.  That’s the way we rock I make dem move dem bodies…

A spotlight goes on and highlights the band Skindred standing near the entryway.  Benj looks to the ring.

Benj Webbe – Jus’ chill for a sec.  We got dis.  Introudcin’ first.  Hailing from Swansea, Wales, Standing at 5’9, weighing in at 175lbs, Da one.  Da only Champion of the British Isles and the Commonwealth.  Da Welsh Amazon herself, the soon to be Conquest Champion.  Stand at Attention for Abigail Dresden!!!

The band launches into playing ‘Gimme that Boom’ and as they sing the lyrics ‘stand at attention’ Abigail comes out from the entryway and her and Benj salute at the same time, Abby deliberately making her salute a little more American in style, bringing the crowd to its feet.  She makes use of being up there anyways to hop around in a circle with the lead singer as they both sing the refrain of ‘Turn around, stupid. Stupid turn around stupid.”  They end the collab with a couple of fist bumps and Abigail sprints down the rampway and hops up onto the ring apron, jumps onto the top turnbuckle and plays to the crowd before backflipping off and landing in the ring.

Ben Price – Looks like Abigail has been practicing her aerial moves a bit.  Not a bad strategy given the size differential between her and Kronin

Eddie Vega – Well, it’s a risky and needlessly showy entrance I guess but I’ll allow it.

Ben Price – I’m sure Abigail is ecstatic to have your approval.

Eddie Vega – You think?

Ben Price – No.

The cameras start to circle around the arena. “Outlaws and Outsiders” suddenly hit as the lights in the arena drop, with white lights begin to flash violently around the arena to the drumbeat. The ramp starts to flood with smoke, as the words “Grimm Products” in white letters appear across the big screen. Suddenly the engines of a motorcycle club started to rev up. Slowly one by one, eight motorcycles pull out on top of the entrance way forming a half circle. After a few moments the motorcycles start to turn around to face the entrance way.

After the engines are revved up a few more times. The music slowly stops as the lights once again fade to black. Suddenly the headlamps of the bikes come to life, A figure appears in the entranceway with his arms crossed. A series of fireworks go off along the top of the entrance ramp. The light adjusts back to normal. Eddie Williams suddenly opens arms to celebrate and hype up the crowd, as he is slowly joined by Kai Harris and Maddie. They both raise a championship , as he motions that he wants the Conquest title around his waist. Havok starts to walk down the ramp. 

Eric Wilson – introducing at this time, he hails from Cambridge, England, United Kingdom. Standing at five foot and eleven inches tall and weighing in at two hundred and fifteen pounds. He is the current, and the reigning CWF Tag Team champion, and one third of the Four Winds Wrestling Legion champions along with the other members of the Bastards. This is Eddie Williamsss!!! 

As Eddie walks over to the furthest turnbuckle and climbs up to the middle rope, staring out across the arena attendance, before turning to look back at and glares across the ring towards his rival Abigail. As the music dies down, he waits near the corner, pacing back and forth ready for the match to start.

Eddie Vega – About time for you to give the Bastards some respect!

Ben Price – I acknowledge their skill, it’s their attitude I have an issue with.

Eddie Williams comes into the ring and he and Abigail immediately make a b-line for each other and it’s only the intervention of Ashley Beaton getting in between them and threatening to DQ anyone who starts the fight early that keeps a fight from breaking out, but Eddie and Abby exchange more than a few words, some picked up by the mic:

Eddie Williams – Your daddy ain’t here to save you this time.

Abbigail Dresden – Funny, I was about to say the same.  My dad can’t carry you to victory this time.

Ashley Beaton – Back to your corners until the champion comes out.

Ben Price – Well definitely no love lost between these two though I never did figure out what the issue was.

Eddie Vega – Ha!  I know something the nerd doesn’t!  Eddie William is frustrated.  Everywhere he turns, Abby is there.  He feels his performances are overlooked while Abigail soaks up the Spotlight.  Abigail, I believe, has never forgiven Frank Windsor or Eddie Williams for, well, the events that happened during that Valor title match up.  Then I think there’s also an element of.. Like you said.  These two are the top two MVP candidates.  They’re fighting to make themselves the number 1 name on that list.

Eric Wilson – And introducing next.  He hails from Dresden, Germany.  Standing 6 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing in at 275lbs.  He is a member of Bad Company and is the reigning and defending CWF Conquest Champion, Kronin Reinhardt!!!

Silence falls over the arena as the lights dim and ‘Sonne’ by Rammstein plays over the PA. The song plays until it hits the chorus line of ‘here comes the sun’ (translated from German) and a lone spotlight shines to show Kronin standing there.  The crowd cheers and comes to their feet, their cheers getting louder as Kronin raises the conquest title into the air.  Slinging the title across his shoulder and brings a mic up as he addresses his opponents.

Kronin Reinhardt – Well, well.  We got us a party now, don’t we Vegas?!

The crowd pops and Kronin nods.

Kronin Reinhardt – Cool.  Let’s do this.

The crowd cheers as Kronin marches down to the ring and also jumps up onto the ring apron, before stepping over the ropes and walking right to Abigail, towering over her.  Eddie Williams stands behind Abbigail to cut off her escape and also to ensure Kronin sees him as well.

Ben Price – You know, there’s one thing about Kronin I find weird.  He’s like the Keanu Reeves of wrestling.  Good person, relaxed and easygoing but can pull out a John Wick when he needs to.

Eddie Vega – …Yeah, I’d agree with that.  Still hate the prick but I can see where you’re going with that comparison.

In the ring, Kronin hands his title belt to Ashley Beaton who shows the belt to both challengers and then raises the belt over her head before handing it back to Eric Wilson.  Wilson leaves the ring with the belt and Ashley Beaton calls for the bell.

DING!!

DING!!

Ben Price – And here we go, the match for all the marbles.

Eddie Vega – Please Wrestling Gods.. Anyone other than Kronin!

Ben Price – Okay, what is your issue with him?

Eddie Vega – I.. don’t know.  Just don’t like him.  I get his sister.  I get Greg Salazar.  I get Eddie and Abby.  Kronin… I just don’t get.

In the ring, all 3 fighters come out, eyeing each other.  Kronin charges forward and hits Eddie Williams with a clothesline that sends the man to the mat.  As Kronin stops his attack, Abigail positions herself so that as Eddie gets to his feet, he finds himself flanked.  Kronin on one side, Abigail on the other.  Kronin hits Eddie Willaims with a big right hand that sends the man staggering, he turns to face Abby who catches him with a left jab and then a right punch and Eddie finds himself as the pinball as Abigail and Kronin take turns punching him.  The series ending when Abigail hits a European uppercut and Kronin hits an atomic drop and moves as Abigail jumps up onto and off of the top rope, bringing Eddie Williams to the mat with a springboard hurrancanrana.  Eddie Williams uses the move to roll out of the ring and try to break up the offense.

Ben Price – Well, we thought this was a possibility and in the very early going here, it seems like Kronin and Abigail are out to eliminate Eddie Williams!

Eddie Vega – That’s cheating!

Ben Price – It literally isn’t.  Remember, the only thing stopping Abigail and Eddie from working together is their mutual dislike and distrust of each other.

Eddie Vega – Come on, Abby!  You’re taking tours of the various factions, here’s your chance to get your honorary Bastards patch!

Ben Price – Reminder fans, even during her short stint with the nKo, she never officially left the Upstarts.

Eddie Vega – Details.

Eddie Williams does not get much chance to rest as Abby wastes no time in slingshotting herself over the top ropes and hitting Eddie Williams with a crossbody, taking both fighters out.  As they recover and get up, the crowd roaring its approval of the move, the mics pick up a short conversation

Eddie Williams – The fuck are you helpin’ him for!?  You daft?

Abbigail Dresden – I can trust him

Eddie Williams – Can you? He wants me gone because he thinks he can beat you.  You and I should work together.  Drop the giant and settle this between us.  We make sure the title comes home to Britain.

Abigail pauses, seeming to consider and the two fighters re-enter the ring to break up Ashley Beaton’s count out.

Ben Price – Eddie Williams makes a smart case.  Kronin v. Abby one on one is the odds being heavily in the favor of Kronin.  Also should note Abigail is leaning a lot more on aerial moves tonight, definitely channeling her mother.

Eddie Vega – It would be a smart move.  Eddie Williams and Abby are much closer in size than Abby and the giant Kronin.  

Abby makes her way over to a corner and takes a moment to catch her breath as she watches Kronin and Eddie exchange punches before Eddie goes low with a knee to the gut of Kronin and plants him with a DDT.  Abby attacks from behind planting Eddie with a running bulldog.

Ben Price – We’ve not wasted any time here.  These three are getting right to it.

Eddie Vega – Well of course, who doesn’t want to be Conquest Champion.

Abby jumps and springboards off the ropes into a moonsault like move, aiming for Eddie Williams.  Eddie rolls out of the way and Abby sees it in time to land on her feet but she slips down to a knee.  Eddie wastes no time coming in and planting Abby on the mat with a snap DDT.  He then springboards off the ropes and hits Kronin with a springboard forearm smash as Kronin had just gotten back to his feet.  

Ben Price – Abigail continues the aerial assault and even showed some ability to improvise mid air.  This is a surprising change of tactics from Abigail

Eddie Vega – Looks like she was bound and determined to prove Kronin wrong that she didn’t have enough time to change up her usual offense.  But the improv didn’t help her much, as Eddie still planted her on the mat and was able to get a shot in on Kronin too

Eddie wastes no time standing over Abigail and locks her in the Camel Clutch, cinching back hard on her back and pulling up on her head and chin.  Abigail struggles against the hold and tries to escape and tries to reach the ropes but Eddie Williams holds her fast

Ben Price – Camel Clutch!  We could be seeing a quick exit for Abigail if she can’t escape that hold!

Eddie Vega – .Well the only way she’ll be escaping is if-

Kronin charges in and kicks Eddie in the side of the head, breaking the hold

Eddie Vega – That happens.  Damn it.

Abigail rolls out of the ring to recover a bit and Kronin pulls Eddie Williams to his feet and the two men trade punches.  They then lock up, with Kronin transitioning Eddie Williams to a side headlock before punching the side of his head and moves to a reverse waistlock and tries for a German Suplex but Eddie blocks it with a back elbow to the face.  He then takes Kronin to the mat with a snapmare takeover and locks in a rear chin lock.  Abigail makes a dramatic re-entrance by springboarding off the top ropes and hitting Eddie Williams and knocking him and Kronin to the mat.

Ben Price – Wow!  With a single move, Abigail took out both of her opponents!

Eddie Vega – Somewhere in this arena, Valora has a grin from ear to ear seeing that.  Once more Eddie gets the edge in the match only to have one of his opponents snatch it away from him.  You can see why these two have gotten under his skin the way they have.

Abigail runs and slides out of the ring with a baseball slide and reaches under the ring, looking for something.  In the ring, Kronin gets to his feet first and pulls Eddie Williams to his feet and sends Eddie towards the ropes.  Kronin catches Eddie as he rebounds off the ropes and plants him on the mat with a powerslam.  Abigail climbs into the ring and leans against the turnbuckle, watching the events unfold.

Ben Price – Powerslam by Kronin, and Abigail decides to pick her spots and save her strength

Eddie Vega – Well, can’t fault the logic there.. If Eddie Williams and Kronin are willing to beat themselves down, why not let them?

Kronin glances back and sees Abigail is content to stay out of the fight for now and then looks at Eddie Williams, standing behind him, and measuring him.  As Eddie gets to his feet, Kronin grabs him and lifts him up, hitting his version of the Angle slam.  

Ben Price – Olympic Slam!  Kronin hits the Olympic Slam

Eddie Vega – Damn it!  Abby!  You have to help Eddie!  You need him to knock that giant down to size!

Kronin does go for the cover, Ashley Beaton does drop down to make the count

…One!

……Two!

Abigail dives in and breaks up the pin!

Ben Price – What the hell?!  Abigail just saved.. Eddie Williams!

Eddie Vega – Like I said, she probably figures he can help even the odds against Kronin

Kronin gets up and looks at Abby

Kronin Reinhardt – The hell?!

Abby grins and shakes her head, wagging her finger.

Abbigail Dresden – Not yet.  He’s been talking shit about us for half the damn season!  Why let him off easy?

Eddie Williams gets to his feet while the two argue and, seeing an opportunity to divide his foes, he charges into Kronin’s back, shoving the big man forward into Abigail, which sends Abby to the mat.  Eddie retreats to a corner and decides to watch and catch his breath.

Ben Price – Eddie trying to break up the alliance of his enemies here

Eddie Vega – I didn’t see that.  I saw Kronin attack his supposed ally.

Kronin helps Abigail to her feet trying to explain but Abby is not buying and hits Kronin with a jawbreaker, stunning him.  Abigail throws a left jab into the solar plexus of Kronin and hits him with a European uppercut.  Kronin tries to fight back, grappling Abby and trying for a Vertical suplex but Abby lands behind Kronin Eddie runs up and grabs Kronin.  He looks at Abby and, after a brief chat, Abby nods and both her and Eddie team up to lift Kronin up and plant him on the mat with a double high angle backdrop.  After the move as the crowd applauds for the move.  Eddie and Abby look at each other and shrug before nodding to each other

Ben Price – A massive backdrop!  Abigail and Eddie team up to lift the big man up and put him on the mat

Eddie Vega – Yes!  Yes!  Oh Abigail’s comin’ home to the Bastards!!

Ben Price – Ease up there.. Not only has Abigail shown no interest in joining them, her father would be the only member who would approve of her joining.  Also, they do seem to have a strict ‘No Girls Allowed.’  Policy.

Kronin gets to his feet and while Abby and Eddie are surprised that they can, in fact, work together, Kronin charges and hits both fighters with a clothesline, sending both fighters to the mat.  Kronin pulls Abigail to her feet and uses a biel toss to throw her into one of the corners.  He comes in after her and hits her with a number of hard punches and knees to the body, each blow actually lifting her up off the mat.  After the series of blows, Kronin ends it with a big elbow to the face and Abigail slumps to a seated position.  Eddie Williams charges in and Kronin dodges out of the way and Eddie improvises and hits Abigail with a dropkick.

Ben Price – And now, Abigail is definitely on the receiving end as both Kronin and Eddie unleash their fury.

Eddie Vega – Well I know Valora won’t want to hear this, but Abigail is the smallest fighter here but also a big threat.  If I were Eddie and Kronin, I would put her down as fast as I can.

Eddie Williams walks over to Abigail and laughs, kicking her a few times before pulling her up to her feet, turning and yelling at the crowd to watch this, he sends Abigail into the ropes and Abigail stuns the crowd by pulling out her mother’s Lethal Weapon move which is Val’s version of the Lethal Injection.  Abigail flips and hits the ropes before jumping back and hitting Eddie Williams with a cutter style move that brings the crowd to its feet cheering loudly.

Ben Price – Lethal Weapon!!!  That’s one of Valora’s signature moves and her daughter just nailed it perfectly!

Eddie Vega – I..don’t get sentimental often but.. That has to be a special moment for mother and daughter both.

Abigail stands up and points at her mother’s skybox and nods, smiling as she celebrates hitting the move.  Kronin charges in and Abigail bends backwards doing the Matrix dodge.  But Kronin has seen Valora use this move countless times and is ready for it.  Abigail stands up right into a big foot from Kronin which sends Abby to the mat as Kronin smirks and taps the side of his head.

Ben Price – Abby pulled out the matrix dodge but Kronin, being a veteran must have encountered that move before and was ready for it.

Eddie Vega – I swear, if Kronin somehow manages to escape this with his title intact..

Eddie Williams gets to a knee and then charges and hits Kronin with a chop block to the right knee, knocking the big man down Abby gets to her feet slowly.  Eddie, sees this and advances towards her and is caught as Abby jumps into the air and hits Eddie Williams with her version of the pele kick which brings Eddie to the mat.

Ben Price – Chop block to the knee of Kronin, that could hurt Kronin as the fight wears on

Eddie Vega – Let’s hope so

Abigail sees an opening and runs forward, springboarding off the ropes and Kronin gets to his feet just in time to be hit with Abigail’s Springboard Trouble in Paradise style kick that sends Kronin to the mat.

Ben Price – A springboard Trouble in Paradise style kick.  We’re continuing to see these fighters innovate offense to try and get and maintain an edge in this fight.

Eddie Vega – And so far, all of those attempts have failed as this control of this match has flip-flopped more than a Democrat during election season.

Eddie William comes over to Abbigail and throws a fist.  Abigail ducks and hits Eddie Williams with a left jab and then a second left jab and then a third left jab and a right cross Eddie responds with a boot to the gut and tries to hit a vertical suplex on Abigail but she counters with a small package and Eddie Williams kicks out almost immediately.

Ben Price – Eddie Williams and Abigail  Dresden trade punches there, pugilism being a proud British tradition in its own right.

Eddie Vega – Pugilism?  Christ you’re a nerd.

Eddie and Abby continue throwing fists, but Kronin tries for another double clothesline.  Both Eddie and Abby duck under the clotheslines and as Kronin turns to face them, he’s taken double as Abby and Eddie jump and hit a perfectly timed double dropkick.  Both Abby and Eddie pause for a moment looking at each other.  After a brief talk, the two grab Kronin and send him into a corner.  Abby then whips Eddie Williams into the same corner and Eddie hits a stinger splash like move and then drops down on all fours as Abby charges and steps on his back and launches herself into the air and hits a whisper in the wind like move.  The crowd comes to their feet cheering the exchange and Abby and Eddie Williams take a moment to consider their teamwork until Eddie Williams brings boos from the crowd by hitting Abby with a surprise belly to belly suplex.

Ben Price – And well that is freaky.  Abbigiail and Eddie working really well together to take Kronin down and then Eddie hits Abby with the belly to belly suplex

Eddie Vega – I told you!  Abby and Eddie should work together and get rid of Kronin, then settle things between them!

Eddie walks over to Kronin in the corner and lifts him up onto the turnbuckle and then climbs up after, locking in the hold and looking back behind him and grinning as he lifts Kronin up and… hits a superplex, dropping Kronin on top of Abigail 

Ben Price – Holy shit!  Eddie Williams just hit a superplex and planted Kronin on top of Abigail!!

Eddie Vega – That’s what I call killing two birds with one stone, Benny boy!!

Eddie Williams gets to his feet and pulls Kronin to his feet before planting him with a snap DDT.  Making his way over to Abigail and pulls her to her feet.  But she cuts Eddie off with a couple of punches to the gut and a European uppercut.  She follows this up with an irish whip into the ropes and catches him with a hurancanrana like takedoown into a roll up pin.  Ashley Beaton drops down but Eddie Williams kicks out before she makes even a 1 count.

Ben Price – Eddie Williams takes Kronin out for a moment but in doing so, he gave Abigail enough time to recover and she was able to land a few blows and then that hurrancanrana into a roll up pin

Eddie Vega – Yes, yes.  Little Abby is trying to impress her mother.  We’ve got that.  But let’s not forget Eddie Williams kicked out before even a 1 count!

Kronin gets up to his feet and as Abbigail recovers from Eddie’s kick out, she stumbles back into Kronin.  Locking in a reverse waistlock, Kronin turns and plants Abby with a German suplex, he keeps the hold locked on and comes back to his feet.  Eddie Williams taking the chance to catch his breath as Kronin plants Abby with a second German suplex, keeping the hold on and pulls her to her feet only to bring her down for a third German suplex, this time bridging into a pin.

Ben Price – Death by Suplex!  Abigail gets taken for a ride and Kronin bridges into a pin 

Eddie Vega – And Eddie Williams is wisely taking a chance to rest and recover a bit

Ashley Beaton drops down onto the mat and begins to count 

…One!

……Two!

………ThrNO!

Abby kicks out and Kronin gets to a knee, sighing and shaking his head.  Eddie waits until Abbigail starts to get up and charges forward, hitting her in back of the head with a running knee smash.  Abby hangs for a second, stunned and falls face first on the mat but before Eddie can take advantage, Kronin pulls Eddie to his feet and sends him into the corner.

Ben Price – Eddie Williams picked his spot and nailed Abigail with a running knee smash, but Kronin cuts in and takes Eddie out before he can capitalize on the move.

Abby slowly gets to her feet and shakes her head, trying to clear the cobwebs.  Kronin walks over and apparently in response to a question on where Eddie Williams is, Kronin points to the corner.  Abby says something else to Kronin and he shrugs and grabs Abby, before sending her towards that corner with an irish whip  and Abby hits a tornado DDT.  Kronin for his part, takes a turn at catching his breath.

Abby moves over to Eddie Williams and begins to pull him to his feet but he counters with a punch to the gut and grabs Abby spinning around and planting her with a belly to belly suplex.  Kronin runs in and grabs Eddie Williams from behind, pushing him into the ropes and rolling backwards before planting Eddie Williams with a rolling German suplex.

Ben Price – Kronin calls that a Rolling German suplex and I have to imagine that it makes for a doubly disorientating experience.

Eddie Vega – This isn’t fair!  Eddie has to worry about 2 fighters!

Ben Price – Everyone in this fight has to worry about 2 fighters.

Abigail climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and looks at Kronin.  Kronin turns to face her to see what she’s up to and Abby jumps off hitting and turning a bit as she plants Kronin with an improvised stunner like move off the top rope.  Kronin drops to his knees, shaking his head as Eddie slowly pulls himself to his feet with help from the ropes

Eddie Vega – So, what’s she call that, Benny boy?

Ben Price – I.. well, I don’t know.  I’ve never seen Abigail use that move before.

Eddie Vega – I call it a bad night for the champ!  Ha!

Eddie Vega takes advantage of the confusion and chaos in the ring to plant Kronin with a snap DDT and lock in the Camel Clutch on Kronin this time.  Abby moves onto the ring apron and jumps onto the ropes before springboarding off of them and hitting the same stunner like move on Eddie that she just hit Kronin with, thus breaking the submission hold and leaving all three fighters on the mat.

CWF Crowd – Holy shit!! (repeating)

Ben Price – What they said!  The ring looks like a damn car accident!  We told you that these three fighters were among the very best in the CWF and they are proving us right!  Kronin Reinhardt deserves to be champion!  Abigail Dresden and Eddie Williams deserve to be challenging for the title!

Eddie Vega – You know, I usually give Kronin shit, and I will in the future but real talk, I think you’re right Benny boy!  These three are definitely worthy of being considered top tier CWF talent

Abigail gets to her feet first, using the ropes to pull herself up.  Kronin sits up, shaking his head and trying to tend to his neck.  Eddie gets to a knee, also shaking his head, trying to recover Eddie moves over to Abby and spins her around and plants her with a double underhook DDT.  Eddie gets up to his feet and celebrates the attack when Kronin grabs him and plants Eddie with a German suplex.

Ben Price – And our fighters get up and go right back to it, Eddie Williams getting the double underhook DDT in but Kronin was ready with a German suplex.

Eddie Vega – You really have to keep your head on a swivel in these kinds of matches.

Kronin pulls Eddie Williams to his feet and sends him towards Abigail with an irish whip.  Abby sees him coming and drops to her stomach and Eddie steps over her and slides under the ropes with a baseball slide, intending to take a break.  Abby gets to her feet and runs forward, diving over the ropes, landing on Eddie Williams with a headscissors takeover that sends Eddie face first into the barricades

Ben Price  – Once more Abigail turns on the Air raid!

Eddie Vega – Okay I’m calling it.  Valora has disguised herself as Abigail somehow!

Abigail jumps up to her feet and plays to the crowd, basking in the cheers before meeting Eddie as he tries to get to his feet and leads Eddie back to the ring.  Both fighters climb up onto the ring apron at the same time and both are met by Kronin who takes the two of them and smashes their heads together.  Brining Abby in via a biel toss and then doing the same to Eddie Williams.

Ben Price – Kronin giving another demonstration of his power game there as he tosses both fighters into the ring like ragdolls

Eddie Vega – No!  No damn it, why does it always seem to go his way?!

Kronin follows up by moving over to Eddie Williams, pulling him to his feet.  A headbutt to Eddie staggers the man and Kronin picks him up and lifts him up before dropping his ribs across his knee, hitting the man with 3 rib breaker like moves.  While Kronin is focused on Eddie, Abigail uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet and makes her way to one of the corners, hopping up onto the turnbuckle and waits until Kronin turns to face her and she leaps off the turnbuckle trying for an aerial attack but Kronin runs forward a bit and catches her in mid air, spinning her around 3 full cycles and plants her on the mat with his version of the Black Hole Slam.

Ben Price – Beautiful Disaster!!  That’s why they call aerial offense high risk folks.  Sometimes, it works and sometimes..

Eddie Vega – Sometimes you get turned into a splat on the mat.

Kronin moves into a cover and Ashley Beaton drops down and makes the count

…One!

……Two!

Ben Price – And Abby gets a foot on the ropes, forcing a break in the pinfall.

Eddie Vega – Smart way to conserve some energy.

While the near fall happens, Eddie Williams pulls himself up to his feet, and sees what is going on but doesn’t get involved.  After the near fall, Kronin comes up to his knees and sighs, shaking his head.  Eddie charges, aiming for a running knee smash to back of Kronin’s head but Abigail sees Eddie coming and warns Kronin who dodges and comes to his feet grabbing Eddie from behind.  Abigail grins while still laying on her back and waves bye as Kronin lifts Eddie and brings him down to the mat with a German suplex.

Ben Price – I have to admit, this match has seen some strange bedfellows.  For example, we’ve seen a couple of times where Abigail and Eddie actually worked together briefly to get an advantage over Kronin

Eddie Vega – and it was a joy to behold.

Abigail follows up on Kronin’s attack by running to the ropes and jumps onto the ropes and springboards off, hitting a moonsault onto Eddie, who gets his knees up to block and Abigail rolls off to the side, sliding out to the floor and drops down, holding her ribs in pain.

Ben Price – Once again, the high risk in high risk offense is shown as Abigail’s attempt at a moonsault backfires

Eddie Vega – and Abby’s insides are definitely hurting.. She’s taken a few big blows to that area.

Kronin walks over and pulls Eddie Williams to his feet while Eddie was trying to get to his feet.  Kronin boots Eddie in the gut, doubling him over and lifts him up, as if to go for a powerbomb but walks to the middle of the ring, before lifting Eddie up even higher and then planting Eddie Williams onto the mat with his version of the Last Ride signaling to the crowd that’s it.

Ben Price – Metal Meltdown!  Kronin just lifted Eddie almost into orbit before planting him on the mat!

Eddie Vega – No!  We can’t have Eddie eliminated!

Kronin drops down and makes the pinfall while Ashley Beaton drops down and begins to count

…One!

……Two!

………Three!

Ashley Beaton comes up and calls for the bell

DING!!

DING!!

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, Eddie Williams has been eliminated!!

Ben Price – And now we have a one on one match up Eddie Williams’ quest for the Conquest title comes to an end.

Eddie Vega – That’s 2 Bastards who have tried and failed to take the belt from Kronin!

Eddie rolls out of the ring, obviously upset at the elimination and exchanges words with both Kronin and Abigail, but he does leave without incident, other than yelling back at the ring periodically.

Ben Price – Well, I have to say I’m surprised Eddie left without incident

Eddie Vega – Are you kidding me?  They’ve beaten the hell out of each other and Kronin just tried to put him through the damn ring.  You have to ask how much all 3 fighters have left in the tank at this point.

Ben Price – That.. is actually a good point.

Eddie Vega – Don’t sound so surprised.  I’m full of good points.

Ben Price – You’re full of something, alright.

Abigail climbs into the ring and Kronin stands there with a big grin on his face, Abby rebounds off the ropes.  Kronin tries for a clothesline but Abby drops into a baseball slide and avoids the clothesline, coming to her feet and jumps up to her feet and rebounds off the ropes on the other end of the ring.  Kronin turns to face her and Abby hits a dropkick to the right knee that both her and Eddie had targeted earlier in the match.  Abby grabs his head and comes onto the ropes and tries a tornado style cutter move but Kronin counters and throws Abby half way across the ring.

Ben Price – Jesus Christ!  I think with Eddie out of the match the odds of Kronin winning drastically increase, I mean you just have to ask how someone Abby’s size can win a fight against someone Kronin’s size

Eddie Vega – Well I mean I guess focus on that knee a bit?  That might be her only chance.

Abby slowly gets to her feet, trying to catch her breath and wiping a small bit of blood from her mouth as she advances towards Kronin.  Kronin throws a punch but Abby ducks under it and kicks Kronin in the injured knee and punches him in the gut.  She follows this up with a jawbreaker and then a European Uppercut and ends with a kick back to right knee of Kronin

Ben Price – Impressive flurry of offense by Abigail but Kronin seems to have absorbed it without taking a lot of damage

Eddie Vega – It definitely seems like this will be an uphill battle.

Abby tries to rebound off the ropes and launches herself for an aerial clothesline, but Kronin catches her and brings her to the mat with a belly to belly suplex.  Kronin pulls Abby to her feet and tries for a vertical suplex but Abby counters into a backstabber like move.  She gets to her feet and springboards off the ropes into a moonsault and lands on Kronin, but is unable to take advantage as she rolls off, holding her ribs.

Ben Price – It looks like Abigail might have an internal injury somewhere.  We’ve all been impressed by her change of tactic but aerial moves can take a toll.

Eddie Vega – If she can’t use the new aerial offense she found then her chances of winning go from slim to none

Kronin starts to try and get up, but Abby forces herself to recover and moves over, quickly locking in her version of the koji clutch.  The crowd comes to their feet cheering as Ashley Beaton drops down to check for a submission

Ben Price – Celtic Clutch!  Abby has tried for a submission!!

Eddie Vega – Yes!  It would be so sweet for force Kronin to tap out!!

In the ring, Kronin uses his size advantage to slowly move towards the ropes and eventually, he makes it, reaching out and grabbing the ropes.  Ashley orders Abby to break the hold but she waits until a 4 count before finally complying.

Ben Price – Kronin likely familiar with this submission hold since Valora also uses it.  But still it has to take a bit out of you…especially when your opponent continues to use the hold after being ordered to break it.

Eddie Vega – Hey!  It’s legal!  You have a 5 count to break the hold.  Abby took a 4 count and broke the hold.  Quit whining.

Abby gets to her feet and hits Kronin with a couple of stomps to the rib area.  Kronin fights up to a knee but Abby grapples him and transitions to a side headlock.  Kronin blocks the move by hooking one of Abby’s leg and pulling it out as he lifts her up and plants her on the mat.  The two then engage in a display of freestyle wrestling.  Abigail puts up a good effort, but Kronin is bigger and very quickly gains the advantage, the sequence ending when Abigail manages to just barely squeeze out of his grasp and scramble back to her feet.

Ben Price – Abigail continues to surprise as she shifts to more of a catch as catch can, or freestyle wrestling as it’s known today, approach but Kronin is both more experienced and bigger than Abigail and thus he was able to gain the edge 

Eddie Vega – yeah but this isn’t the Olympics, he has to keep her down for 3 seconds

Both fighters climb to their feet, Abigail lashing out a couple of kicks to Kronin’s right knee.  Kronin swings a punch but Abigail dodges and counters with a perfectly timed punch to Kronin’s liver, which drops the big man to his knees.  But Kronin grabs Abby with both hands and headbutts her, sending Abby to the mat in a heap.

Ben Price – Credit to Abigail’s bravery, but she can’t fight and beat Kronin in a toe to toe battle.  Even Valora had to rely on speed, agility and aerial tactics.

Eddie Vega – I have to agree with you, Benny boy.  This right here is a losing hand.

Kronin gets up to his feet and signals to the crowd whirling his hand in a circular motion before dragging Abby to her feet.

Kronin Reinhardt – Buckle up, Abby, time to go for a ride..

Kronin sends Abigail into the ropes and catches her on the rebound spinning around for 3 and  a half rotations before planting Abigail on the mat with the Black Hole Slam.  As soon as she hits the mat, Abby cries out and curls up, holding her ribs..  Kronin points to her ribs and then glances at the skyboxes.

Ben Price – Another Beautiful Disaster!!  And Abby is clearly injured!!

Eddie Vega – Worse.. Kronin knows it.

Kronin mouths ‘Sorry Val.’  He then rebounds off the ropes and jumps into the air landing in a splash move on Abby, who immediately rolls and coughs up blood on the mat kicking the mat in pain, to the point Ashley Beaton steps in and backs Kronin off to check on Abigail

Abbigail Dresden – Back the fuck off Beaton!  I’m not giving up!

Ben Price – Well, it seems that Abigail intends to keep going, but, can she?  That’s the question

Eddie Vega – I understand it, Benny boy.. This might be a once in a lifetime shot at the big belt.  You’re not guaranteed to get another crack at it.  I get Kronin too.  Look at Greg Salazar.  Since losing the Conquest title, he’s never really been in contention to regain it, Well I mean except for the star chamber match which only had a collection of the top stars in CWF and one random jobber offered up as a human sacrifice to appease Armand’s bloodlust.  Abigail and Kronin are risking everything here because they never know when, or if, they will get another shot!

Ben Price – That is actually a great point, Eddie.

Ashley Beaton sighs and restarts the fight.  Kronin lets out a frustrated sigh and signals the end of the fight, moving over, quickly closing the distance and catching Abigail and wastes no time lifting her up as if for a powerbomb..

Eddie Vega – No!  That could break in half!  Literally!

Ben Price – Kronin did signal his intention to end the match..

Eddie Vega – Wait!

Abby throws her weight forward and finally flips over and hits Kronin with an improvised reverse cutter that leaves both fighters on the mat.  Abby pulls herself up slowly, She then steps through the ropes onto the ring apron and jumps up, springboarding off into a corkscrew spinning splash, landing back first as she tries to minimize impact to her injured ribs

Ben Price – Well, she is going back to the fighting style that gives her the best chance of winning, the question is can her insides take it

Eddie Vega – Well I don’t think anyone can question the heart of these three fighters.  Abigail, Eddie, Kronin.. All three of these fighters have given their all tonight.

Both fighters slowly get to their feet.  Abby throws a European uppercut from her knees and Kronin replies with a European uppercut that knocks Abigail flat on her back.  Kronin uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet and lets out a breath.  He takes a moment and then moves and jumps into the air and tries for an elbow drop but Abigail rolls out of the way and Abby gets to her feet and waits for Kronin to get to his knees before jumping and planting Kronin on the mat with a DDT.  Both fighters lie on the mat for a few moments before Abigail can get up.  Looking at Kronin’s prone body, she climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and lifts her right leg, holding it straight up so that her right foot is over her head.  She then leans forward and comes down on Kronin in a split legged attack.

Ben Price – Firecrotch Guillotine Legdrop!!!  We’ve seen Abigail pull this move out before and I can’t imagine the flexibility one needs to do it.

Eddie Vega – This is by far my fave move of her, Benny boy

Ben Price – Try not to drool so much.

Eddie Vega – She’s legal now.

Ben Price – And still the daughter of Valora Salinas and Rob Riot.

Eddie Vega – …Good point.

It takes Abigail a few seconds but eventually, she rolls over and puts a single hand on top of Kronin’s chest.  Ashley Beaton drops down and makes the count.

…One!

……Two!

………ThrNO!!

Kronin sits up, breaking up the count.

Ben Price – Unsurprisingly, Kronin is able to kick out as Abigail wasn’t able to get much weight behind her pinfall attempt.

Eddie Vega – I’ll say this.. Whether she wins or loses, Abigail has proven a lot of people wrong.  No one believed she could fight Kronin one on one and she is proving she definitely can fight a much bigger opponent.

Both fighters again get to their feet, Kronin gets to his feet first and watches, letting Abigail expend energy to get to her feet, only to grab her and plant her on the mat with a belly to belly suplex, causing Abby to arch her back and writhe in pain.  Kronin gets to his feet and lets out a breath and once more watches Abigail expend energy to fight back to her feet and he comes in with a second belly to belly suplex.  Kronin then pulls Abigail to her feet and sends her into the ropes with an irish whip and plants her with a spinebuster

Ben Price – Kronin continues his assault on Abigail’s midsection region.  I don’t want to think about how much it must hurt with each breath she takes.

Eddie Vega – But she is definitely Valora’s daughter.  Much like her mother, she just keeps getting up

Kronin leans back against the ropes and watches, shaking his head in disbelief as Abigail fights her way back up to her feet before shrugging and shaking his head.  He charges and tries for a clothesline but Abigail ducks under it,  Kronin turns around and Abigail hits a dropkick to Kronin’s right knee.  Abby wastes no time as she slams Kronin’s knee into the mat.  Both fighters get back to their feet, Kronin favoring his knee as Abby makes her way over and leads Kronin over near the corner before she jumps up to the top turnbuckle and plants Kronin on the mat with a tornado DDT

Ben Price – Eddie Williams and Abigail have been working on Kronin’s knee off and on throughout the match and it seems like that has reached the point where Kronin can no longer act as if it isn’t wearing on the knee.

Eddie Vega – and a Tornado DDT to finish it off.  Abigail could really take control here!

Abbigail moves Kronin a bit in the ring and then makes her way back to the turnbuckle and jumps up.  She pauses for a moment and points to the corporate skybox her mother is in and then turns so her back is to the ring and glances behind her before she jumps off, twisting her body in midair as she begins to go into a rotation and she hits her mother’s finishing move, the variant of the Phoenix Splash Valora calls the Aztec Moonsault, Abbigail hits and rolls off, grabbing her ribs

Ben Price – Aztec Moonsault!!!  Oh my god!!!  Abigail Dresden just used her mother’s finishing move!!!  How many times has Valora beaten Kronin with this very move?!

Eddie Vega – Yes!!  Yes!!  Finally!!!

Abigail forces herself to crawl over and she makes the pin on Kronin.  Ashley Beaton drops down.

…One!

……Two!

………Three!

DING!!  DING!!

Ben Price – She did it!!  Oh my god!! Abigail Dresden has just become the youngest Conquest Champion in CWF history!!

Eddie Vega – I’m ecstatic that Kronin lost but… the Upstarts are going to be absolutely insufferable after this..

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the match, by pinfall, and the NEW CWF Conquest Champion.. Abigail Dresden!!!!

Eric Wilson hands the title to Ashley Beaton, who hands it to Abigail who is still on her knees.  She takes the belt and bursts into tears, resting her forehead on the belt as she celebrates her win.  

Ben Price – Well, I can see that the party tonight is going to be something to see.

Eddie Vega – Think we’ll get invites?

Ben Price – No.  I do not.

Eddie Vega – Damn.

From the locker room area, four people run out to hit the ring: Testuo Oni, Miguel Lanza, Ahklut Thlunaught and his sister, Kelea Thlunaught… the rest of the upstarts. 

Eddie Vega – And here they come. Like I said, Insufferable.

Ben Price – Well, every CWF title between Vanguard: High Stakes and Desperate Warfare stayed where it was, except the Conquest Championship. Abbigail Dresden heads into Season 4 with our World Level Title!

Eddie Vega – Does that bode well or…

Ben Price – We have to wait and see. But that’s it for Season 3 for the Conquest Wrestling Federation. We’ll see you for Season 4. 

Eddie Vega – And remember… 

Both – #Jointheconquest!

The show ends with Kronin Reinhardt leaving the ring, but stopping and leaning against one of the ringside barriers. In the ring, Abby Dresden is swarmed by her teammates and friends. Tetsuo Oni is the first one there with a huge hug that almost knocks the bigger woman down. 

Fireworks start to go off around the arena… as the show signs off.
