The show starts with the CWF Lunar Warfare logo and the theme for this show, the newest single from the Deftones, “My Mind is a Mountain.” The patented CWF Drone flyby goes through the crowd and does a few fly arounds showing all the signs and the CWF fans who have joined us in the Target Center. A graphic shows that 17,485 fans have joined the CWF live here in this 20,000 seat Arena.
As the drones approach the stage area at the top of the rampway, fireworks go off in a cascade, starting at the ramp, and then continuing along the sides of the stage and a frame setup with lights and other production equipment going over it.

Show Open
The drones come down and float in front of the Announcers table where Benjamin Price and Eddie Vega are waiting.
Ben Price – Good day and welcome to the CWF Presents, LUNAR WARFARE!
Eddie Vega – And well, we have a hell of a show for you tonight. We have to make up and beat what Lunar Madness, our Vanguard preshow gave you for this Pay Per View extravaganza.
Ben Price – Yes, Vanguard: Lunar Madness gave us new Tag Team Champions, in Gabriel Tuck and Trelisa Perrault of the nKo. And tonight, we have the other three CWF titles on the line, as well as the first ever Lunar Warfare Rumble match up!
Eddie Vega – The Elite Title will be fought for in an Elite X match, the third in CWF History with 8 contenders: Kat Hale, Steve Murdock, Father Nathan O’Connel, Viktor Kreigson, Madd Morales, Gabriel Tuck, Greg Salazar AND of course the defending Elite Champion, Kara Reinhardt.
Ben Price – Two members of Bad Company and two members of the nKo in there. One of them is one half of the new Tag Team Champions.
Eddie Vega – I thought the freebird rule was in effect for any stable, though? So TWO of the tag team champions, right?
Ben Price – I guess. But also our main event will be for the CWF Conquest Championship… Abigail Dresden will defend against th eman who she took the title from, but also who just recently completed a huge 3 match series with Samael Drago… and that is Kronin Reinhardt.
Eddie Vega – And the match I’m really waiting for… the Lunar Warfare Rumble. 43 people have shown up to take part, we could have had more… as I understand it, both Pacific Rim and the Diamond Kings have tag team only contracts, and they both opted out. But the winner will get a shot at the Conquest Champion at our next pay per view… Tribal Warfare.
Ben Price – And we have some guests coming in, including Dixie Clement, who we saw last Warzone, and more. I’m told every other CWF Roster member, as well as quite a few others will take part. The only way to win is to be the last man or woman standing, and to not get tossed over the top rope.
Eddie Vega- And we’re starting off tonight with a Valor Title Match up… Apathy will be getting her… THIRD chance to claim the Valor title. But this time she has to face off against… Vespertine.
Ben Price – Vespertine has been impressive lately, co-winning the Valor Championship with her tag team partner, Karlie Nash and then winning it in a triple threat match last Vanguard. Tonight, she’s on her third defense and if she gets past Apathy, only two more and she could challenge for any other CWF Championship with a guaranteed spot.
Eddie Vega – Well, Apathy has choked every other time she’s been in a match for a title recently, so I fully expect Vespertine to be going 3-0 on defenses and looking forward to the next two cycles to secure that prize.
Ben Price – She has more than a good chance, but she still has to get past Apathy tonight. So on that note, let’s go to the ring!
Match 1 – CWF Valor Championship – Apathy vs Vespertine (C)
Eric Wilson – The following contest is for the CWF Valor Championship. It is set for one fall and will be fought under the rules of the CWF’s Valor Division. Introducing first, the challenger, coming in at 5’ 8” and 220 lbs… She is Apathy!
[The sound of a vintage picture reel began to click and pop, the screen illuminating up counting down like a picture show. The pops, scratches, nicks and debris covered the screen, the numbers counting down, 5…4….3….2….1….as the reel continued, the faint familiar sound of a text message being composed. The tell tale sound of clicks followed by the sound of a message received. The demonic, distorted voice of SKYND creeps through “You’re gonna have to prove me wrong”. On the screen, a barrage of action shots, in still form from Apathy’s career, centered and fixated, like an old film would. As the arena went down, red and white lights bathing the fans in a sea of color, Elizabeth rises from beneath the stage, head lowered, arms outstretched. A mixed chorus of boos, jeers and cheers pelted at her. She gradually raises her head, soaking in the animosity and fervent support. Inhaling it like a drug]
##I love you, now die
I love you, now die
I love you, now die
I love you, now##
As the heavy bass kicks in and the words of the chorus reverberate through the arena, she snaps her head up, a cocky self-assured smirk creeping across her lips as she saunters her way to the ring casually engaging towards the fans either encouraging more of their venomous verbal harassment or acknowledging the respect and adoration from her legions and devotees, basking in the glow
##Go, in your truck and drive in a parking lot
Do it early, do it now
Do it early, do it now
Go, just park and sit there in your car
It will take twenty minutes
It will take twenty minutes##
##Go, in your truck and drive in a parking lot
Do it early, do it now
Do it early, do it now
Go, just park and sit there in your car
It will take twenty minutes
It will take twenty minutes##
As the perverse and twisted sound of SKYND’s auto tuned verbal melody pulsates through the speakers, Elizabeth stops at the base of the walkway, grinning from ear to ear as she playfully mouths the words, “It will take 20 minutes”, holding up two fingers and flashing them forwards and backwards as she says “20 minutes”, then rushes the apron, hopping up and catapulting herself over the top rope, rolling through to the far side of the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and extending her arms,
Ben Price – Apathy has a history of late of choking at title matches. I wonder if tonight is going to be any different?She has had a total of 3 other Valor Title matches in her CWF career so far.
Eddie Vega – I think it will be different tonight. She’s got that certain something in her eye.
Ben Price – Are you looking at her eyes or her-
Eddie Vega – I think we all know the answer to that question.
The lights in the arena go out, over the loudspeakers we hear buddist monks chant and the slow gong of a funeral bell. This goes on for a minute before we hear her voice..
“I see you
I see your soul
And it… is…. mine!”
As the Buddhist chant and the gong die down, “The Mad Queen” comes up and purple and black lights come up. From under the stage doing a gangrel type entrance is Vespertine. On the Tron we see pics of her wrestling. She is facing backwards and when the lift stops, she turns around and steps off to the entrance ramp, still looking down, arms crossed in front of her
As the song builds, she looks up and we see her eyes are completely white and orbless. She then raises her fist into the air and two lighting strikes come from different areas of the arena and strike on each side of her. She saunters in time to the music, then goes up the ring steps and flips over them (Melina style). She gets up, and then puts both fists in the ai and fire pillar pyros go off on all four corners of the ring. She stares at her opponent for a minute or two before closing her eyes and lifting her head to look up. As she does the lights come back up and she slowly looks down and we see her eyes have returned to their normal color but also she has an evil smirk on her face. She takes off her trenchcoat and hood to give to a ring tech and waits for the match to start.
Eric Wilson: Hailing from the Gates of Eternity, by way of the Garden of Paradise coming in at 5 feet 5 inches and 115 lbs, she is the Well Rounded Fighting Machine, the current CWF Valor Champion, I GIVE YOU VESPERTINNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
Eddie Vega – Vespertine in her official 2nd Valor Title Defense here at Lunar Warfare. She won the title WITH her tag team partner, Karlie Nash back on Season 4 Episode 4 of Vanguard, from Miguel Lanza. They both held it until Episode 5. There she managed to beat both Nash and Steve Murdock to retain the title only around her waist.
Ben Price – And both of them were already in action during the Vanguard: Lunar Madness show, each one’s team coming up short in the first round match ups to find new Tag Team Champions.
Eric Wilson – Your referee for this match up… Troy Reynolds.
DING! DING!
The bell rings, and both women take a moment, sizing each other up. Apathy stays low, ready to strike, while Vespertine hops lightly, bouncing on her toes, eyes scanning for an opening. Early exchanges are tentative; Apathy jabs and feints, Vespertine hops and counters with light kicks. A very equal match-up.
Ben Price – They are pacing themselves, you can tell. Tonight isn’t just about this match.
Eddie Vega – Exactly. Remember, there is also a tag team match later, so every strike has to count without costing them too much energy.
Ben Price – This is going to be interesting. Both women are so similar in terms of play style.
Vespertine suddenly springs off the ropes for a springboard forearm. Apathy ducks, counters with a hard elbow, staggering Vespertine. Apathy grabs her opponent and slams her into the turnbuckle, following up with a series of sharp knees to the midsection. Vespertine gasps, rolling away to regain her footing, before bouncing off the ropes and hitting a spinning back kick that snaps Apathy backward. Vespertine shakes herself to snap out of the daze.
Eddie Vega – Look at that! Vespertine showing why she is Valor Champion. She’s precise, high-flying, yet deadly accurate.
Ben Price – And Apathy? She’s proving she’s just as dangerous. Calculated, methodical. This is the perfect storm.
Then, Apathy counters a springboard moonsault attempt by Vespertine, catching her mid-air and driving her down with a tombstone piledriver. She immediately hooks the leg.
One…Two…Thr-
Vespertine powers out just before the third, wriggling with desperation.
Ben Price – Oh! That was close! Apathy almost had her right there. And so early into the match!!
Vespertine scrambles to her feet, hitting Apathy with a running European uppercut. This takes Apathy completely out of the ring. Ves climbs the ropes and leaps for a corkscrew plancha onto Apathy at ringside. Both women crash hard, the crowd roaring at the audacity.
Ben Price – This is insane! High-risk maneuvers off the ropes, but neither woman is staying down.
They roll back inside the ring. Apathy lifts Vespertine for a powerbomb, but Vespertine counters mid-lift, twisting into a hurracanrana that sends Apathy tumbling. Vespertine goes for a quick pin.
One…Two-
Apathy barely kicks out at two and three-quarters, shaking her head as she struggles back to her feet.
Ben Price – Incredible resilience from both sides! Neither of these women is backing down!
Vespertine, eyes blazing, hits a running dropkick that sends Apathy into the corner. She ascends the top rope for a moonsault, but Apathy rolls out of the way at the last second. She catches Vespertine as she lands and transitions into a bridging German suplex. Then suddenly Apathy rolls her up again.
One…..!
Vespertine kicks out again in a heartbeat, writhing and gasping for air.
Eddie Vega – This is a battle of wills. Apathy is trying to wear down the champion, but Vespertine refuses to stay down.
Apathy now shows her brawling side, firing sharp elbows and knees. She whips Vespertine into the ropes, catching her with a stiff clothesline as she rebounds. Vespertine crashes down but quickly springs back, using the ropes to bounce off for a running knee that stuns Apathy.
Eddie Vega – Vespertine is showing why she is Valor Champion. She’s nimble, clever, and every strike counts.
The two women exchange a rapid sequence: spinning back fists, stiff forearms, running knees, and a high kick from Vespertine that sends Apathy staggering. Apathy ducks, springboards off the ropes for a running knee to the face, knocking Vespertine down. She goes for a cover.
One…Two…Th-
Vespertine kicks out at two and a half, barely escaping defeat.
Ben Price – These near-falls are brutal. The tension in the arena is electric!
Both women pause, breathing heavily. Apathy smirks slightly, circling Vespertine like a predator. Vespertine rolls to the side and bounces off the ropes for a springboard crossbody, connecting with a crushing thud.
Vespertine waits for Apathy to get up, and suddenly performs a big wheelbarrow facebuster on Apathy.
Ben Price – Neither of these women is giving an inch. Every move is telling a story.
Apathy crawls out of the ring to catch her breath. Vespertine steps onto the ring apron. As Apathy gets up, Vespertine performs a big Asai moonsault on Apathy. The crowd goes wild for Vespertine’s big move. As the referee starts to count, Vespertine drags Apathy inside, and as she is climbing back into the ring, Apathy suddenly runs and hits Vespertine with a big boot to the face.
As Vespertine staggers backwards, Apathy performs a big spear on Vespertine, throwing her back against the turnbuckle. Here, Apathy performs a series of big shoulder thrusts on Vespertine, to the point that she collapses to the ground. Apathy signals to the crowd to cheer on her.
As Apathy drags Vespertine to her feet, she suddenly performs a leg-scissors on Apathy. Vespertine then shows her athleticism and performs her patented capoeira handspin leg drop on Apathy’s neck. She goes for the pin!
One……Two…..Thr-!!
Apathy kicks out!
Vespertine begs the referee to accept the pinfall. In the midst of this commotion, Apathy slowly gets up, and dashes towards Vespertine, and hits her with a BIG SUPERMAN PUNCH to start the transition into the F10 for her finisher – Death Before Dishonor!
As Vespertine staggers dazed, Apathy quickly tries to go for the F10, but Vespertine escapes, and elbows Apathy in the back of her head, putting her on her knees.
As Apathy remains dazed, Vespertine quickly climbs the top rope, signaling for her finisher Epically Diva. She LEAPS! SPINNING in mid-air, aiming to land the springboard cutter.
BUT APATHY rolls under at the last second, and Vespertine CRASHES HARD onto the MAT!!!
Presented with this opportunity, Apathy QUICKLY wraps Vespertine’s legs, and cinches in the Affliction submission hold.
Ben Price – She’s got it locked in! THE AFFLICTION!!!!
Vespertine thrashes, reaching for the ropes, twisting and writhing. She kicks her legs, almost turning over, but Apathy maintains the hold.
Vespertine, with all her might, crawls towards the ropes, and almost gets to it, but Apathy grabs hold of Ves’ legs tighter, and drags her to the middle of the ring, arching Ves’ back an inch further every second , increasing the pain!
Finally, with no escape left, Vespertine taps out!!
Eric Wilson – And the winner of the match by submission, and your NEW CWF Valor Champion, Apathy!
The crowd erupts in a mixture of awe for Apathy and respect for Vespertine, who lies on the mat catching her breath, eyes still burning with determination.
Eddie Vega – Vespertine may have lost her championship match tonight, but she showed she is still one of the most formidable athletes in CWF Valor.
Ben Price – And Apathy? She made a statement. She can hang with anyone, even a high-flying, resilient champion like Vespertine.
Vespertine slowly gets to her feet and exits the ring with her head held high, as the crowd cheers her on.
Apathy rises, arms raised to the crowd with her title, calm, collected, and victorious.
Ben Price – What a match. Every near-fall, every high-risk move, every counter told a story. Apathy has CLEARLY arrived in style.
Eddie Vega – Up next we have the Elite championship! Lots of bodies in the ring as a big previe of what it could be like later in the night with the Lunar Rumble!
Ben Price – The Elite-X Match coming at ya next!
Eddie Vega – Expect to use your splash guard if you are in the front row
Match 2 – CWF Elite Championship – Elite X Match – Father Nathan vs Madd Morales vs Steve Murdock vs Kat Hale vs Viktor Kriegson vs Gabriel Tuck vs Greg Salazar vs Kara Reinhardt(C)
The camera shows that the Elite X addons to the ring have been dropped and secured into place. Outside each turnbuckle vertical stanchion is an additional, larger stanchion that goes down through the ring steps. Each one is much larger in diameter. They go till they’re about 12 feet or so above the canvas surface of the ring, and then two hard girders go across the ring from them, in an “X” Shape. Unlike other ‘Ultimate X’ Matches, the CWF doesn’t do loose ropes, but American Ninja Warrior like hard girders going across the ring, at least for this match.
Eric Wilson – The following match up is an Elite X Match. The win condition is to be the first one to reclaim the Elite Championship title belt that’ll be hung from the center of the scaffolding above me, in the X shape. The match will be fought as a hardcore Elite X match…. There are not disqualifications, no count outs… weapons are allowed!
Eddie Vega – My type of match! Come on Kriegson!
Ben Price – I’m personally rooting for either Reinhardt to retain, or maybe Steve Murdock to finally claim some gold. I could also go with Kat Hale in this match up.
Eddie Vega – What does Kat Hale know about being hardcore?
Ben Price – Well there are others in the match who have proven to be able to dish out some pain and take it as well. But it’s all about who climbs across those girders and claims that title belt.
Eric Wilson – Introducing first in our field of 8 contenders… Hailing From Dublin, Ireland. He comes in at 6’ 3” and 265 lbs… “The Left Hand of God” Father Nathan O’Connell!
The lights around the arena go dark and a mist begins to form around the entryway and down the ramp. Nathan seems to materialize from the mist itself as he walks out and pauses, taking a look at the crowd and then makes his way at a steady pace to the Ring, climbing up into the ring. Once in the ring he throws a few warmup punches and falls back to his corner to await the start of the fight.
Ben Price – Father Nathan would be considered a dark horse in this match up. He’s got a chance. A BIG chance to win this. But not sure a lot of people have bet on him to win it.
Eddie Vega – Well I actually might have put a small wager down on him. He’s a long shot to some, but I covered my bases. He could just heart punch everyone and then climb up and win that title.
Eric Wilson – And next, Hailing from Norfolk, Virginia. Representing the nKo… he is a former Elite champion… “The AirDevil” Madd Morales!
The arena plunges into darkness. A low rumble kicks in under the silence then- “Beggin on her knees to be popular!”
The distorted, otherworldly beat of “EvilJordan” by Playboi Carti slithers through the speakers like venom in a vein. Red strobes flash in erratic pulses as static crackles across the tron. Then, from the back, through a curtain of smoke that glows hellish crimson, he emerges, draped in a black designer trench that sways with each step, hood shadowing his face. He moves like someone who owns the ground beneath him. Its slow, cocky, like the devil on his day off. Every bounce in his step carries swagger, but in his silence, there’s something simmering. Something cruel. Something just waiting for someone to pull the pin. As the beat hits harder. He lifts his head.
Ben Price – One of two members of the nKo in this match up, and of course… was instrumental in the nKo becoming the CWF’s new Tag Team Champions on the Vanguard Lunar Madness Preshow.
Eddie Vega – And technically by the stable freebird rule here, could be considered one of the tag team champions?
Ben Price – He did not come out with one of the Tag Team Title Belts.
His eyes shine under the flickering lights as he takes a deep breath, almost as if he is getting high on his own myth. A slow smirk curls across his lips. He drags a single finger across his throat and then points to the ring like he’s blessing it for sacrifice. At ringside, he sheds the trench coat slowly and deliberately, revealing taped fists ripped punk rock jeans that have various anarchism themed patches that change every night, save for the ones on his left and right legs that read “Air” and “Devil”.
He climbs the steps and turns his back to the ring for a moment, soaking in the judgment from every soul watching. Then he spins and steps through the ropes like he’s entering church. He doesn’t posture. He just waits, eyes locked forward, body still, the music fading into a final eerie pulse.
Eric Wilson – And the third combatant… Hailing from Dallas, Texas. He comes in at 6’ 5” and 220 lbs. This is “THE HARDCORE ICON” STEVE MURDOCK!
The opening notes of “Walk” by Pantera play as Steve Murdock stands at the entry way as the wave of crowd sentiment of either boos or cheers reach a fever pitch. He then raises his barbed wire wrapped kendo stick in the air and jogs to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and goes to each ring corner, hyping up the crowd.
Ben Price – Murdock is a former 4 Winds Maelstrom Champion, and he’s given Kara Reinhardt a run for her money… twice. Tonight might be his night to shine.
Eddie Vega – Well, let’s just hope he’s remembering just who he actually is tonight. One thing is for sure, he remembered this was a hard core match and brought his barbed wire wrapped kendo stick with him!
Eric Wilson – And coming out next, she is the current reigning 4 Winds Tempest Champion. Hailing from Boulder, Colorado and coming in at 5’ 9” and 140 lbs. This is “Wicked” Kat Hale!
The lights begin flashing green, blue, and red as the initial jingle of “Nemo” by Nightiwsh starts. Kat delays hitting the stage for those initial seven seconds.
Ben Price – And the smallest person in this match up. And the one who has had the least amount of hardcore matches in recent history.
Eddie Vega – Has she ever done any?
She comes out wearing a black leather jacket that stops at her mid-drift, and she comes out with high energy. Throwing up the rock and roll devil horns a few times. Before moving to either side of the stage to engage with the crowd. Pointing towards them and then starting to make her way down to the ring. She’ll continue interacting with fans near the ramp. High-fiving and occasionally pausing to throw up devil horns with other members of the audience.
She makes her way to the south side of the ring, jumps onto the apron, and throws her hands out to either side to pose for the audience. Then, slipping under the middle rope moves to the opposite end of the ring. Climbing on to the middle rope of the turnbuckle, she’ll rock up and down with her head down, covering the top rope until rising and flipping her hair back over her shoulders and pose with her arms spread once again. Pointing to members of the audience.
At last, she’ll step down and strip off her jacket, readying herself for the match. She starts to look over the additions to the ring.
Eric Wilson – And next, part of the Anwnn…
The lights dim. A low, guttural howl echoes through the arena as smoke begins to billow at the entrance ramp. A blood-red spotlight cuts through the haze, revealing a towering silhouette just as the opening chords of his entrance music hit. The crowd rumbles—not in excitement, but in unease. They know who this is.
A string introduction of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Afterlife” plays as a singular spotlight finds its way to the entrance ramp, bringing a tall, imposing figure into view. Flames of anger flicker in his eyes as he looks around the crowd from the stage, his fists clenching and unclenching as they do.
The Ring Announcer pipes up as the flames die down behind the imposing figure:
Eric Wilson – Now coming to the ring, weighing in at 300lbs, hailing from the Gates of Hades, the Hound of Hadeeeeeeees hiiiiiiimself, Viktor Krieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegson!”
The heavily distorted guitars of his theme kick in, joined by perfectly timed columns of fire exploding on each side of Viktor. He prowls down the ramp and towards his hunting grounds, brow furrowing with a rage-filled focus, each step perfectly in time with the music.
Ben Price – Now this man is the one that some think will finally take the Elite Title from Bad Company.
Eddie Vega – He’s my main pick with my bookie. Last Warzone, it took a Memento Mori on the outside of the ring, into the ring steps, AND an Oni Driver with assistance to keep him down for a three count. Now lets add in the fact this is a hardcore rules match… he’s going to bulldoze everyone!
Moving up the ring steps and onto the apron, his hand grasps onto the top rope, a deep scowl crossing his face as his eyes look over the crowd once more. Wiping his boots on the floor, Viktor enters the ring through the top and middle ropes, before making his way over to an opposite corner, climbing to the middle rope as his hands meet behind his back, surveying the crowd with his now focused scowl. After a longer than comfortable moment, he steps back down, before preparing himself for the bout ahead.
Eric Wilson – And next, also representing the nKo… his is one half if the NEW CWF Tag Team Champions… Hailing “From the Road” and coming in at 6’ 2” and 245 lbs. This is “the Iron Wolf” Gabriel Tuck!
“Iron Wolf” by Beastwars begins as Gabriel Tuck walks out from the back. He howls to the fans and they howl in return. This brings out a big grin from Gabriel and he howls again to get another response. He walks down to the ring, slapping a few high-fives as he makes his way. He rolls into the ring and takes his leather jacket off, setting it down in the corner of the ring. He leans in the corner to wait for the match to begin.
Madd Morales comes over and gives him a fist bump.
Eric Wilson – And the final challenger, he currently hails from Seattle, Washington. Representing the stable known as BAD Company. He comes in at 6’ 1” tall and 235 lbs… “The Paragon” Gregory Salazar!
As The Cryptic Wristings cover of “Limits” by Bad Omens starts to play over the Arena’s PA system. The Tron Screen shows “THE PARAGON” and then switches to his name “GREGORY MICHAEL SALAZAR” before shirting to his initials “GMS”.
Gregory Salazar steps out onto the stage, pulling something behind him… a big bin on a push cart from the maintenance division in the Arena. He’s wearing his BDU style pants, combat boots and his MMA gloves.
The cart has a bunch of storage boxes and a trashcan mounted onto the side of it.
Everything is filled with various implements to use as weapons for this match up.
Ben Price – So, someone else remembered this was a hardcore match up…and brought a whole cart out with them.
Eddie Vega – But what’s he waiting for. He’s not coming to the ring yet.
Salazar signals from the stage, at the top of the ramp to move on.
Eric Wilson – Okay… so, finally… introducing our reigning and defending CWF Elite Champion. She currently holds the record for the longest reign in the CWF at 404 DAYS! Also representing the Bad Company stable. Coming in at 6’ even and 200 lbs. This is KARA REINHARDT!
The music shifts to ‘Ich Tu Dir Weh’ by Rammstein. Kara Reinhardt steps out onto the stage, wearing the CWF Elite Championship. She poses and plays up for the crowd before grabbing one of the handles for the cart full of weapons and she and Greg Salazar both pull it down to the ring.
Ben Price – 404 days as Elite Champion. Her brother was Conquest Champion for 331 days. So she is the LONGEST reigning champion in the CWF’s history. Any title, not just the Elite Title.
Eddie Vega – What I want to know is why Greg Salazar didn’t come down without her. I think he knows Viktor Kreigson, and the nKo boys would have started stomping on him before the match even started.
Ben Price – I’m not sure you’re wrong there.
Both let the cart go, to roll the final 10 or so feet and run into the side of the ring. Both grab Kendo sticks, before sliding under the ropes and come up
Viktor Kriegson instantly gets into Salazar’s face. Morales, the man that Kara Rienhardt took the Elite title from, gets into hers.
Eric Wilson – The Referee for this match up, Leroy Wallace!
Wallace takes the Elite Title from Kara Reinhardt and holds it up. A loop of cable is lowered to where he can grab it and he fastens the title belt around it. The technicians then pull it up to the crossed beams above the ring.
Ben Price – And another factor on this match up. How much money do you think our Referee tonight has pocketed?
Eddie Vega – None. He doesn’t need to. This match pretty much has no rules, except one. Be the person to get that title belt down and drop to the ring with it.
Ben Price – Well, I’ll admit this is the type of match I’d not want to be in. Even as the referee.
Wallace calls for the bell, and then backs WAY OUT OF THE WAY… heading for a corner that has no one in it.
Immediately Morales grabs at Kara Reinhardt and tries to whip her to the ropes on the other side, but she puts the brakes on quickly and pulls him into a knee lift. Before she can do anything else, Kat Hale hits the ropes and comes off with a cross body that Reinhardt ducks under, letting her hit Morales in the chest.
Gabriel Tuck slips out of the ring, and runs by the bin of weapons and grabs a Kendo Stick, or more properly a Shinai. As he continues around the ring, he slips in, right behind Father Nathan, but before he gets to his feet, Steve Murdock is right there with his and starts to beat him on the back with it…a nd his is covered in barbed wire.
Viktor Kreigson just twists and catches Greg Salazar with a European uppercut that takes him back to the corner nearest where he was standing.
Father Nathan turns and grabs the shinai from Gabriel Tuck, and then shrugs, and joins Murdock in beating on Gabriel Tuck.
Ben Price – And it’s chaos to start. We have everyone on everyone. But significantly, Father Nathan and Steve Murdock are both teaming up on Gabriel Tuck. Kara Reinhardt and Madd Morales started, but Kat Hale took Morales down early. But Viktor Kreigson looks to really want revenge on Greg Salazar.
Eddie Vega – This match is going to be who can climb up and get that title belt first, but first you have to beat the others down. And I’m here for that beating.
Hale pulls Morales to his feet, and then hooks him into a double chickenwing. She takes him up and over with a tiger suplex. She doesn’t bridge for the pin, knowing it won’t do any good. Morales rolls out of the ring after the impact.
Kriegson has started to do a series of corner clotheslines on Salazar, until Reinhardt runs in and delivered a nasty cutting kick that hits him in his right kidney area. She follows up with a series of strikes with her shinai in the same area. Kriegson turns around and grabs Kara by her throat
And… She kicks him in the balls!
Ben Price – Kara Reinhardt isn’t going to take that at all tonight.
Eddie Vega – He should have just lifted her up and choke slammed her out of the ring. But had to pose for a photo or something.
Salazar comes around Kriegson, out of the corner. He and Kara both hook the bigger man and take him over in a double suplex. Salazar quickly rolls out of the ring on one side of the corner they were near, and Kara out the other.
Both start to pull tables, chairs and other things out from under the ring apron!
Ben Price – And Bad Company wants more things pulled into this match up!
Gabriel Tuck rolls out of the ring as well, getting away from the double beating he was taking. Murdock watches him head out, but doesn’t realize that the good Father is in this to win it tonight. Nathan grabs Murdock and launches him over, and out of the corner with a belly to back suplex.
Kat Hale gets up to her feet, same time as Kreigson, and she backs into him as he’s watching the two members of Bad Company outside the ring. She stops when she feels the bigger man. Kriegson turns, and Hale shakes her head, not even turning. She runs for the ropes, and springboards off of them back into the ring. She gets caught by Kreigson over his shoulder from the attempted moonsault. He turns and slams her down with a powerslam off the move.
Ben Price – Viktor Kreigson just squished Kat Hale like a bug!
Eddie Vega – She’s outclassed by everyone in this match in size. Not sure why she even showed up.
Gabriel Tuck and Madd Morales have started to setup some of the tables that were under the ring around the ring on the outside. They’ve got about three setup, before Morales signals to slide one into the ring.
Kriegson hesitated to get up, remembering that it wasn’t a pinfall to win. As he stood up, Kara Reinhardt comes at him and starts to hit him with her signature wing chun combo of hits. Once the final one hits. He shakes his head and flexes downward.
Father Nathan grabs Tuck’s leg as he was sliding into the ring after putting the table in. Steve Murdock rushes by the cart of weapons, and grabs what looks like two trashcans, with their lids. He slides them into the ring.
Nathan sets Tuck up… for a heart punch on the outside!
Ben Price – Father Nathan is going to try to crack Gabriel Tuck’s ribs again!
Madd Morales hits Nathan with a baseball slide drop kick from the ring to the outside. It’s a glancing blow, but enough to draw attention from. Morales grabs Tuck and assists him to get into the ring. Nathan follows them up to the corner, but then looks up… at the Title belt.
Instead of following them, he starts to climb up the corner stanchion.
Ben Price – Looks like Father Nathan is deciding discretion is the better part of val… being the Elite champion. While the others are fighting, he’s going to try for the title belt!
Nathan gets to the top. He doens’t try to climb to the top and walk around. Instead he brings his legs up and hooks them to the girder going across the ring. He then hooks his hands to it and starts to slide, backwards towards the center.
Eddie Vega – I’m not sure why he’s going backwards.
Ben Price – For this type of movement, it’s actually the better way. Faster and more reliable to keep your grip, both of them: feet and hands.
Eddie Vega – I’m sure it’s also about his age here. But if he falls from this height…
Father Nathan continues to scoot across the underside of the scaffold. He is getting closer and closer to the Elite Championship Belt.
Ben Price – Father Nathan is so close to getting that championship.
Kara Reinhardt grabs one of the kendo shinai. She unfolds a chair and puts it down next to where Father Nathan is at. She then hits the ropes and comes off. She steps onto the chair for a bit of a boost, and nails Father Nathan in the ribs and upper arm with the shinai… a loud whack sounds out with the hit.
Eddie Vega – Holy crap… that is going to leave a huge welt.
Nathan almost falls with that impact, his legs hold on, his knees giving enough compression to stay on the girder. But the rest of him dangles, one arm holding his ribs for a moment at the impact point. Kara starts to hit him about the head, ribs and shoulders more with the shinai, trying to get him to drop.
Ben Price – Kara Reinhardt doesn’t want to lose the title belt… she’s got to get him off the cross girders!
Steve Murdock slips back into the ring, and comes up next to Kara Reinhardt and with a baseball like swing, hits her in the ribs with his own barbed wire covered kendo stick (shinai). She bends with the reaction to that hit, but doesn’t drop her own shinai.
Ben Price – And Steve Murdock stops the assault on Father Nathan.
Murdock pulls up and hits her in the back with it. Reinhardt turns towards Murdock and screams as she lunges forward, and puts her shoulder to Murdock’s midsection, lifts him up and runs with him into the corner. After she puts him there, she pulls back and starts to just wail on him with her kendo stick.
Eddie Vega – And she just snapped!
Father Nathan starts to try to bend forward to again grab the girder, maintaining a loose hold on it with his legs, specifically his knees. But Madd Morales comes up onto the ring apron, runs across to the corner closest to where Father Nathan is. At the same time, Kat Hale, who appears to have been chasing Morales, goes past the corner he ran to, and heads to the next one.
Ben Price – Morales and Hale seem to have… issues.
Nathan has to shift a bit to get full footing and hand holds, which causes him to move forward about the length of his torso, and as he was going backwards, feet towards the title belt, that puts him closer to the corner.
Morales hops up onto the grider and swings his legs up to kick Nathan in the head, causing him again to lose his hand holds, and fall down and dangle again. Morales swings back to the corner turnbuckle, and recoils to launch forward. He catches Nathan around his neck, and the momentum pulls him off the girder, and the two land with a huge version of Cutter type move!
The CWF Crowd – HOLY SHI! HOLY SHIT!
Ben Price – Madd Morales just took down Father Nathan with a flying cutter that pulled him off the Girder to the mat below.
Eddie Vega – I’m not sure he landed the best there.
Ben Price – What’s Kat Hale doing?
Kat Hale then comes off the other corner’s turnbuckle with a Wicked Sault that lands across Morales’ chest, but also the back of Nathan’s head. Hale bounces off them and holds her midsection, while Morales rolls out from under her, holding his chest, and Nathan is holding the back of his head.
Eddie Vega – Not sure she should have done that!
Ben Price – Depends on who took the hardest part of that hit. Her, Morales or the good Father.
Kara continues hammering Steve Murdock with the kendo stick, glancing back over her shoulder as she hears the impact of Morales and Nathan hitting the mat. Murdock tries to take advantage and punch Kara while she’s distracted but she raises her arm, meeting his punch at the wrist and pushing the blow up as she ducks and weaves her head around the punch slamming her fist right into Murdock’s nose before turning and throwing the man over the ropes and to the floor.
Eddie Vega – How the fuck did she block a punch, she can’t see?
Ben Price – Again, both her and Greg Salazar are combat veterans. I’ve never been in like war style combat, but I imagine the chaos we’ve created tonight probably feels close to it, or at the very least requires the same skillset of keeping one’s head on a swivel.
Greg Salazar waits and intercepts Viktor Kriegson as he charges for Kara, bringing him down with an NFL style tackle, which Greg immediately transitions from into a mounted position from which he rains down rights and lefts on Viktor
Morales can be seen at one corner, climbing up to the top… Kat Hale starts to climb up across from him!
Eddie Vega – Looks like Madd Morales is deciding to take a chance at the title belt.
Ben Price – Kat Hale as well. Opposite side of the ring!
Gabriel Tuck picks his spots and hits Greg right on the spine with a shot from a 2×4 he’d aquired from under the ring. Tuck whips Greg Salazar to the corner. Before he could run in with a huge Lariat, Steve Murdock came up behind him with two trashcan lids. He slammed them both on either side of Tuck’s head like he was some cartoon character getting two orchestra cymbals slammed on him.
Madd Morales reaches the top of the corner stanchion he was climbing up, and brings himself to the top and then starts to walk across. But he looks across and sees that Kat Hale had the same idea, but on the other side of the ring… and she has one of the Kendo Sticks with her.
Ben Price – Tuck taking a shot at Greg Salazar there. Those two have beef from before. Tuck just needs to keep it up and he could be a double champion! Imagine going from nothing for years, and then two titles at once.
Eddie Vega – Well, Steve Murdock just put an end to that spurt though.
Tuck staggers, holding on ear with the free hand, He turns around and sees Murdock there. Murdock takes both lids together and pulls back to try to hit with both at the same time, but Tuck blocks it with a swing of the 2×4 that sends the trash can lids flying away, bent almost in half from the impact. Tuck then pulls the board back and slams one end into Murdock’s stomach.
When Murdock is bent over, he slams the 2×4 onto his back, in the area of his shoulder blades. He then tosses the 2×4 aside and pulls Murdock’s head in between his thighs.
Morales tries to walk across the top of the girder, almost falling a couple of times. Hale gets near half way, pulling the Shinai back in an offensive stance.
Ben Price – Morales and Hale in a stand off on top of the Elite X Structure here.
Eddie Vega – And Steve Murdock is about to get planted in the ring.
Gabriel Tuck pulls Steve Murdock up into a power bomb position. He takes a couple of steps forward., where one of the trashcans that the lids had come from earlier was laying on the mat. Morales calls down, and Tuck tries to look up.
Eric Wilson – What are they doing here?
Eddie Vega – Well I see Gabriel Tuck about to plant Steve Murdock on a trashcan if he gets a chance to.
Before Tuck dropped Murdock he tried to acknowledge he heard Morales. Murdock started to punch Tuck in the head, trying to get out of the setup. Tuck yelled out, and went to powerbomb Murdock onto the trashcan. At the same moment, Hale got to Morales and swung the kendo stick at him. Morales jumped off the top of the girder setup right over where Murdock was being powerbombed into the trash can.
Morales lands with a huge leg drop on Murdock as well as the impact from the powerbomb.
Hale, loses her footing from the wild swing, and falls off the top of the structure. Father Nathan manages to catch her, both of them falling through the table that had been placed in the ring before.
The CWF Crowd – HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Eddie Vega – Holy Shit is right!
Ben Price – I’m not sure Morales should have really done that one. He landed straight down on his tail bone there. And Kat Hale would not have had a good landing if not for Father Nathan O’Connell.
Eddie Vega – Did he just do that to save her? He should have just let her go through that table head first!
Ben Price – I doubt his vows would have allowed him to do that.
Hale rolls for the apron, and then climbs out of the ring. Father Nathan decides to go with her to check on her.
As the camera cuts back into the action in the ring, Madd Morales rolls over onto his face, kicking the mat with the inside of his foot as he writhes in pain from the elevated leg drop. Kara comes up behind and grabs Morales from behind, immediately locking in a sleeperhold. Gabriel Tuck gets to his feet just in time to get thrown over the ropes and to the floor by a recovering Greg Salazar. Salazar then grabs Morales’ legs and he and Kara dump him over the ropes as well, while Murdock rolls out of the ring on his own volition to try and recover from the brutal move he just took.
Ben Price – At the moment, it looks like Bad Company have the ring to themselves.
Eddie Vega – But only one of them can be champ, Benny boy.
Indeed, Eddie’s words seem prophetic as a strategy session between the two seems to begin to degenerate into a debate over who will go for the belt. The first victim of this trap is Viktor Kriegson who comes in, seeking to take advantage only to be caught by a spinning backfist from Kara who then whips Kriegson towards Greg who cuts the man off with a boot to the gut. This leads to an exchange of Greg Salazar and Kara ping ponging Kriegson between them with punches before both send him into the ropes and plant him on the mat with an emphatic double spinebuster.
Ben Price – Well for a second, it looked like my partner might have had a point, but it seems Greg Salazar and Kara Reinhardt lured in Viktor Kriegson at least by simulating discord between.
Eddie Vega – I’ve noticed that Greg and Kara have not fought Nathan or Kat Hale yet either.. How much help does Kara need to keep her title?
Ben Price – 1. As stated at the beginning of this match, she has been champ for 404 days. 2. Madd Morales literally used the entire nKo to try and hold onto his belt without complaint from you. 3. Kara has never backed down a fight and 4. It’s more accurate to say that Nathan and Hale have been busy with other fighters than it is to say there is collaboration.
Eddie Vega – 5. 404 is also an internet error so.. I dunno, it’s bad luck for Kara, though. I’m sure of that.
Kat Hale, who took a quick break when she saw that everyone else was being tossed out of the ring, suddenly decides to break into a run.
Ben Price – Fast movement on the outside. That’s Kat Hale!
Eddie Vega – What’s she doing?
On the outside of the ring area, Kat Hale meets Morales with a sharp kick to his ribs as he tries to pull himself up to his feet and then sends him towards the barricades but Madd Morales counters and sends Hale to the barricade instead but she jumps up onto the barricade and runs along it before jumping off and bringing Morales to the ground with a headscissors takedown. She then grabs a steel chair from the front row and proceeds fold the chair up and use the top edge of the seat as she jams it over and over again into the man’s rib cage.
Ben Price – Potentially a smart move by Kat Hale here.. By targeting the ribcage specifically of her opponent, she can make it hard for him to breathe as the match goes forward and we all know that, especially in a match like this, the ability to breathe is kinda crucial.
Eddie Vega – Common sense called and said breathing is always critical.
Gabriel Tuck sees this and runs around the ring to stop her. He does so with a huge shoulder block that catches the chair and puts it into her own face. He quickly reaches back into the ring and grabs the 2 x 4 from where it was sitting on the mat. He pulls it back and goes to hit her, but Father Nathan grabs it from behind, pulling it from his hands and then swings for the bleachers, hitting Tuck in the ribs as he turns around.
Ben Price – Again, Father Nathan helping Kat Hale out here.
Eddie Vega- Creeper priest… I tell you.
Ben Price – he has a wife, and a daughter not too much younger than Kat Hale.
Eddie Vega – Even creepier.
Morales manages to kick the back of Nathan’s knee out, allowing Tuck enough time to get to his feet and take a shot at him with Hale’s discarded chair. Nathan blocks it with the 2×4, which disarms him and Tuck. Tuck grabs Nathan and whips him to the ring steps furthest on that side. Nathan hits the steps with his lower back. Tuck then runs in with a flying punch that catches Nathan in the jaw.
Ben Price – And Gabriel Tuck catches Father Nathan with his Wolf Strike!
Eddie Vega – Not sure that’s what Nathan was expecting there.
The two start to fight as Tuck comes back in for more, throwing fists.
Kara Reinhardt goes to one corner, and starts to climb up to get to the girder. Greg Salazar does the same on the next corner over.
Ben Price – Both members of Bad Company starting to go for the title belts here.
Kara started to finish the climb on the stanchion. She looks to be about to do the same type of shuffle that Father Nathan tried earlier.
Greg Salazar in his corner actually reaches into the pocket on his BDU pants and pulls out a black strap.
Ben Price – What’s that?
Eddie Vega – I’m not sure!
Salazar looks to be having a little bit more trouble than Kara Reinhardt is. As he’s still on the top turnbuckle, Steve Murdock runs in and hits the ropes right in the corner. Salazar falls into the ring. Murdock grabs him and takes him over with a German Suplex.
Viktor Kreigson runs into Kara’s corner, and climbs the ropes a bit to where he can grab her and pull her off the girder, his arms around her waist, adding his weight to hers. They fall back into the ring landing as if an avalanche German suplex. He rolls with the landing, as she does. When they both come up, Kreigson grabs her and whips her to the ropes. He catches her as she comes off the ropes with an exploder suplex.
Ben Price – Well both tried, but neither made it as Murdock and Kreigson take offense to that.
Murdock slips out of the ring and grabs another chair. He slips it into the ring, following behind. He leaves it on the mat, and pulls Salazar back up partially. Murdock hooks Salazar’s arm over his shoulders, and then lifts him up for a high angle Saito suplex that comes down right on the chair.
Kreigon deadlifts Kara right up for a gutwrench suplex, but he deposits her onto the apron, instead of more on the mat. Kara hits, and arches instantly from the impact on her spine.
Father Nathan and Tuck continue to fight on the outside. Each one seems to be countering the other and managing to not take the other down hard for the count.
Madd Morales starts to climb the outside of one of the stanchions heading up to the top.
Ben Price – Looks like Morales is going to concentrate on trying to get that title belt again.
Kara starts to get up to her feet, using the ropes to pull up. Kreigson takes the moment to run to the ropes on the other side. He heads right for Kara, and catches her with a big boot to the face that sends her off the apron and through a table outside the ring.
Eddie Vega – And that’s how you take down Super Woman without any kryptonite.
Ben Price – Don’t you still think she’s a dommy mommy?
Eddie Vega – Uhm… no comment.
Kreigson looks up at the title belt, but then hears Kara Reinhardt getting up. He gets up and grabs a piece of the table she’d gone through, and throws it at him in the ring. She hits his shoulder, which manages to actually cut him visibly.
Father Nathan hits Gabriel Tuck with a discus style punch that sends him over the barricade to the crowd.
Ben Price – She just threw a piece of that table at him, looks like she just busted him open!
Eddie Vega – Not the smartest thing to do!
Kreigson climbs out of the ring. He jumps down off the apron, catching Kara with a diving shoulder tackle that slams her back to the barricade around ring side. He keeps a hold of her, and tries to grab her into a huge bear hug, lifting her off the ringside floor. He digs his fingers into her ribs on either side.
Kara yells out with it, but instead of suffering the hold, she grabs the back of his head with one hand and starts to elbow him into his forehead.
Father Nathan gets to the weapons bin, and pulls out one of the spare 2×4’s. He’s runs around the ring and catches Kreigson with a hit to the back that breaks the board. But he drops Reinhardt.
Kreigson turns around and catches Father Nathan in the midsection with a kick. He then hooks him up and lifts the smaller man for a vertical suplex. He holds him there, and walks over by one of the other tables that had been set up.
Before he can drop Father Nathan through the table,,, Kara Reinhardt runs to the barricade next to him, and comes off with a huge back kick that hits Kriegson between his shoulder blades. He bends forward, partially releasing Father Nathan.
Kara moves to get up and turn Kreigson around. She then hooks him on the other side from Father Nathan and both take him up and over for a quick suplex. As they do, Morales can be seen getting setup on the corner he’d been climbing before.
Ben Price – They’re going to take the bigger man over!
Eddie Vega – So there is some collusion here between Nathan and Bad Company!
Kreigson gets put through the table with the double snap suplex. Salazar runs over to the side of the ring, and yells something out. Kara slaps Father Nathan and says something to him suddenly, and both roll in opposite directions. Morales comes off the top of the vertical stanchion and He lands with a corkscrew moonsault from that height. Reinhardt and Father Nathan aren’t there, but he does manage to land pretty solidly on Viktor Kreigson.
Ben Price – And he lands on Viktor Kreigson… that had to hurt… both of them.
Gabriel Tuck slips around the corner, and catches Kara Reinhardt with a Dirty Stomp on the outside, slamming her face into the concrete area. He then starts to help Morales up to his feet.
Both of them then check on Kriegson, who pushes them both away.
Kat Hale suddenly comes off one of the corners and hits Gabriel Tuck with a tope suicida to the outside! Tuck hits the barricade hard. She had been aiming for Madd Morales who moved out of the way, but somehow Gabriel Tuck took the hit.
Ben Price – I’m not sure Kat Hale is too concerned with the title belt tonight, but more in keeping Madd Morales from claiming it.
Eddie Vega – Maybe they should get a room?
Ben Price – Not even going to acknowledge that.
Eddie Vega – But you acknowledge it by not acknowledging it.
Morales goes running around the ring. He catches Father Nathan with a jump into a running lariat, lands on his feet and keeps going. She grabs one of the stanchions and starts to climb up again.
Kara Reinhardt finds herself running into Viktor Kriegson again outside the ring. He swings widely, and she ducks under, delivering a couple of strikes to his midsection. She twists to block another move, and he grabs her hair this time.
Kara grabs her hair with both of her hands, but she seems to ask a young fan at ringside something. The fan nods, and then hands her his nachos, which seem to be loaded with extra jalapenos. She reaches out, grabs them and then spins into Kreigson and slams the full paper ‘tray’ of cheese and jalapeno peppers into his face. She mushes it in.
Eddie Vega – Damn!
Ben Price – Shades of how Valora Salinas won the Elite title in our first ever Elite X match!
Kreigson pushes her away, trying to get nasty arena fake cheese sauce mixed with the peppers.
Father Nathan gets up and looks around, and sees Kara and Kriegson are close by again. He runs in and grabs the disoriented Kriegson and catches him with a couple of European Uppercuts before Kara joins in. they trade strikes on the bigger man, backing him up until he’s right in front of the Spanish Announcer’s table. Kreigson starts to fight back, hammering them with his big fists. He finally kicks Nathan in the midsection, then turns and then pulls Kara into a short arm clothesline.
Salazar slips into the ring, and then walks to the corner nearby. Gabriel Tuck runs up the steps and punches him in the face. He grabs the ropes and sling shots in, hitting Salazar with a dropkick to the chest and landing in the ring. Salazar stumbles back but doesn’t drop to the mat. Tuck steps in with a palm thrust to his chin which finally drops him down.
Ben Price – Kreison is facing off against two people here and holding his own easily. I’m not sure where Kat Hale is. Madd Morales is climbing up to the top again.
Steve Murdock comes in and attacks Viktor Kriegson with Kara Reinhardt and Father Nathan.
Eddie Vega – And there’s Steve Murdock getting into the gang bang on the Hound of Hades!
Ben Price – Did you just say what I think you said?
In the ring, Morales is about to climb onto the top of the girder going arcorss, but Kat Hale runs up the corner and then scales the stanchion easily. She grabs Morales’ leg, and tries to pull him off. He tries to kick his foot away from her. He gets away from him, and she keeps climbing up to the top.
Gabriel Tuck grabs Salazar and tries to whip him for the ropes, but Salazar puts a stop to it, and turns it into a rip cord into and Iron Fist. Tuck stumbles backwards, appearing to be dazed from the perfect spinning backfist.
Ben Price – And the Iron Wolf takes the Iron Fist, and he’s seeing stars right now.
In the three on one on Viktor Kreigson, Murdock, Reinhardt and O’Connell all are taking turns beating on Kreigson. He keeps shrugging it off, and after a couple of hits, fires back in kind. Finally Murdock reaches under the ring and pulls out a toolbox they use to store the tools to put the ring together. He runs at Kreigson and catches him in the forehead. Krieson drops, holding his forehead.
Eddie Vega – who leaves a tool box under the ring?
Ben Price – The ring crew. They’re going to need that to take the ring apart tonight.
Reinhardt and Father Nathan are quick to grab Kreigson. They hook him for another double suplex, but Murdock drops the toolbox and moves to grab the larger man’s feet. He helps put Kreigson’s feet on the ring apron, and then they all count to three.
Father Nathan and Kara Reinhardt pull up, with Murdock helping with Kreigson’s legs. They all aim him and drop him down in an assisted double brainbuster that puts him through the Spanish announcers table. The spanish announcing team barely makes it, rolling their chairs out of the way.
Ben Price – There goes the Spanish Announcers desk!
In the ring, Greg Salazar and Gabriel Tuck have started to throw strikes at each other. Salazar grabs Tuck’s head and slams him not into the turnbuckle, but the stanchion going up behind it. He then grabs one arm and pulls him up onto his shoulders in an inverted fireman’s carry.
Eddie Vega – He’s not going to do that is he?
Ben Price – I think he is.
Up on the top of the Girders, Kat Hale and Madd Morales are locked hands, almost a test of strength, instead it’s a test of who can make the other fall off first.
Murdock, Reinhardt and Father Nathan all get up from the destruction outside the ring. Murdock turns around and punches Father Nathan in the face, and followed by another, then another and then another. Nathan fights back with a European Uppercut and then the two start to fight down one side of the ring.
Kara Reinhardt looks in the ring, and sees right as Greg Salazar lifts Tuck up and drops him down with an Oni Driver!
Ben Price – And Gabriel Tuck just took one of the most dangerous moves in wrestling!
Eddie Vega – But this is not pinfalls!
Kara Reinhardt reaches into the ring, and grabs Gabriel Tuck by his foot and pulse him out of the ring.
Madd Morales shoves Kat Hale hard, and she falls backwards, flipping off the top of the stanchion. But she catches a handhold before she falls down to the mat. Morales falls to his knees, and catches himself before he falls off.
Ben Price – Kat Hale just saved herself from a HUGE fall to the outside.
Eddie Vega – Almost no one has been near the title belt so far. I think Father Nathan got the closest. And that was near the start of the match.
Madd Morales tries to get back up to his feet, but he slips and falls off one side. He catches himself on the girder… just barely.
Ben Price – And Morales almost went splat!
Eddie Vega – He’s tossed himself off that height on purpose twice already.
Morales struggles for a moment, and then gets his hands on either side of the girder, facing the title belt. He starts to shift his hands, one by one, inching his way towards the title.
Greg Salazar gets to his feet and starts to climb up the corner turnbuckles nearest him.
Ben Price – But now he’s going for it.
Eddie Vega – Come on Morales. nKo can sweep the tag and Elite Titles!
Ben Price – Looks like Greg Salazar is ready to climb up as well.
Eddie Vega – Well Madd Morales has a slight head start. He’ll need to cheat to get there.
Morales keeps going, hand over hand across the girder. Salazar finishes climbing up and holds on with one hand and his legs, going leg first to the center.. He reaches into one of the pockets in the BDU style pants he is wearing. He pulls out what looks like a length of black military webbed strapping. He throws it over the girder, and then fastens it to the belt he is wearing!
Kat Hale seems to be getting her bearings after almost falling, and she starts to climb down the stanchion, until she can jump down to the floor.
Ben Price – What the hell is Salazar doing?
Eddie Vega – Cheating, that’s what.
Ben Price – No rules…
Kara Reinhardt starts to climb back into the ring, but gets grabbed by Viktor Kreigson who has recovered from getting a triple brainbuster through the Spanish announcers table. He grabs her foot and then pulls her out of the ring, dropping her face first.
Ben Price – Viktor Krieson is still in this. Can anything keep that man down!
Eddie Vega – Hopefully not!
While Morales keeps going, Salazar uses the belt to hold himself upside down, under the girder, using his hands to climb under it towards the middle of the ring. He pushes off the stanchion, and slides part of the way, getting a head start easily on his progress.
Ben Price – Well that’s an interesting way to make sure you can get out there and get out there quickly.
Salazar gets to the center first, and shifts how he’s in the makeshift harness. He ends up bringing it up to his shoulders, so he can dangle like Morales is. So he can actually grab at the title belt. But, Morales gets there just a few seconds later. Both men start to try to kick each other.
Kara gets up to her feet, and hits her wing chun combination on Viktor Kreigson, but she finishes it with a big ol’ kick to the nusse (that’s German for his nuts), followed by a roaring elbow. Kreigson doesn’t fall.
Eddie Vega – And its and inverted chicken fight!
Ben Price – What?
Kat Hale suddenly appears on the ring apron. She pulls back on the ropes and gets reach for a slingshot springboard. Salazar gets swinging, being able to rely on the military style strap. Just as he comes forward with a double foot kick, Hale launches herself up to the top rope and then comes off. She twists mid air and hits a missile drop kick to Morale’s side, while Salazar hits him in the chest.
The Impact between the two kicks takes Morales back down to the mat with a thud. Hale doesn’t seem to land well, thudding down on her own.
Ben Price – And Kat Hale keeps Madd Morales from succeeding.
Eddie Vega – What the… she seems to really just not want him to win tonight!
Ben Price – Well she warned him.
Kreigson grabs Kara’s hand and ripcords her into a huge lariat that he drops to his knee for!
Ben Price – That’s the Hounds Hunt!
Eddie Vega – Kara Reinhardt just got folded in half…
Kreigson gets up and rolls under the bottom rope to the ring. He catches Kat Hale as she’s standing up lifts her up. Then he walks over to where Steve Murdock and Father Nathan are fighting and throws her at them. The group crumples to the floor, Hale slipping down on the other side of the barricade and to the floor in front of the front row in the crowd.
Kreigson turns around and sees Greg Salazar has positioned himself while hanging from the girder to start to unhook the title belt from the wire loop.
Ben Price – Greg Salazar is working on unhooking the Elite Title!
Eddie Vega – He’s got to get it and get down to the mat with it!
Kreigson looks around, trying to figure out how to stop him, and decides to pick up Madd Morales and lift him up into a gorilla press position. Kreigson then runs at Salazar and launches Morales at him. Morales hits, and manages to grab the strap holding Salazar to the girder. He also tries grabbing the title belt.
Ben Price – Hey, talk about cheating!
Eddie Vega – Viktor Kreisson with the assist! Madd Morales is trying for the title as well.
Kreigson might not have been expecting that, and he tries to grab at the two sets of dangling feet now. The title is unhooked, both men have their hands on it!
Ben Price – Who has the title, who has it?
Eddie Vega – Doesn’t matter yet, they have to get to the mat and have control of it. Like a legal catch in football!
Morales finds where the strap is hooked to Salazar’s belt, and he pulls the release. Both men fall to the mat!
Eddie Vega – Who has the title?
On impact, Greg Salazar has the title pulled to his chest!
Eddie Vega – Does Madd Morales have it?
Kara Reinhardt slips into the ring. She’s grabbed one of the kendo sticks and she starts to hit all over the back of Viktor Kriegson.
Morales rolls away from Salazar revealing that he has the title firmly in his grasp.
Leroy Wallace calls for the bell!
DING! DING! DING!
Eric Wilson – The winner of this match… and NEW CWF ELITE CHAMPION!… “THE PARAGON” GREGORY SALAZAR!
Ben Price – We have a new champion!
Eddie Vega – But do we? He’s still Bad Company!
Kara Reinhardt keeps hitting Kreigson with the Kendo stick, until he finally rolls out of the ring. Salazar stands with the title belt, and as Morales gets to his feet, Kara grabs him and tosses him through the ropes.
They start to hoist the Elite X structure up off the ring. Kara turns to Greg and shakes her head at him. She then offers to put the title on him.
Ben Price – 404 days is the official count, the longest CWF Title reign in history has ended. Kara Reinhardt is no longer the Elite Champion. And Greg Salazar has now been crowned at some time with 3 of the 4 CWF titles.
Eddie Vega – He’s still not secured the Valor title.
Kara Reinhardt puts the Elite Championship around Greg’s waist, and then raises his hand in victory before they start to head out of the ring to turn it all over to the match after this one.
Ben Price – Well, that was an amazing match up. But nothing like what we’re going to have here in a few moments.
Eddie Vega – Are anyone who was just in that match going to be able to do anything during the Rumble here? They’ve been through so much already!
Ben Price – Well if they can, they could win a shot at the one title higher up the totem pole than the Elite Title. The Conquest Championship!
Eddie Vega – So a quick rundown. This is a classic rumble match. We’ll be starting with Samael Drago who ‘won’ the #1 spot. And Tetsuo Oni, who ‘won’ the #2 spot.
Ben Price – After that, every two minutes a NEW competitor will join the match up. You are eliminated if you fall out of the ring to the floor, and your feet touch. You go to the back, you’re done.
Eddie Vega – And the winner will be the man or woman who is the final person in the ring. No matter how long it lasts.
Match 3 – Lunar Wafare Rumble!
The Conquest-Tron comes alive and shows the logo for the Rumble Match up… and starts a short countdown.
The crowd lights up.
Ben Price – And here we go. The Lunar Rumble that we have been talking about for months!
Eddie Vega – Biggest match in CWF history about to begin.
Eric Wilson – Welcome one and all to the Lunar Rumble! Two people will begin in the ring and one more will be added every two minutes until everyone has entered the ring. Elimination will be by sending your opponent over the top rope to the floor, where both feet contact with the floor. Last person standing wins a Conquest title shot at Tribal Warfare! Presenting the first to the ring, weighing in at 218 pounds…he is “Moonchild” Samael Drago!
When the first notes of “Moonchild” by Fields of the Nephilim hit, snow begins to fall on the ramp. Drago is slowly lifted up from under the ramp. The spotlight follows him throughout, as he stands there quietly. The lights go out everywhere except for on Drago. Then, as the verse begins, the pyros go off, as Drago makes his way to the ring, dressed in his iconic Dragon-scales jacket. As he makes his way to the ring, he scans the ringside to see the audience, pathetic as usual.
As the chorus hits- “Moonchild, lower me down, lower me down”, Drago gets into the ring slowly, taking a second to process the reaction of the crowd. He stops in the middle, unfazed by anything. He slowly takes off his jacket. Ready for war.
Ben Price – Samael Drago, fresh off his defeat at the hands of Kronin Reinhardt in the three battles to determine who would go on to face Abigail Dresden tonight. He’s bound to be hungry for victory, but has a tall wall to climb in order to get that title shot.
Eddie Vega – I’m sure he’ll manage. He’s fierce and strong, even for his smaller size.
Eric Wilson – And second down to the ring, weighing in at 135 pounds…she is Tetsuo Oni IV!
The intro ‘static’ start to “Reckless” By Lacuna Coil starts to play. When the guitars hit, Tetsuo Oni IV steps out onto the stage. She stands there, arms outstretched, as she’s wearing the motley robe to her gear for a few moments.
As the song picks up, she starts to do a slow walk down to the ring.
When she gets to the ring, she climbs up the ring stairs to the corner. Once up on the apron, she doffs her robe and hands it to the ring attendant. She then pulls the top rope and springboards to the top turnbuckle, where she takes a seat to wait for the bell to ring.
Ben Price – Is she sure that she needs to sit up there right now at the start of an over-the-top rope battle royal?
Eddie Vega – Probably not. Let’s see what happens.
As the bell is sounded for the match, Samael Drago charges at the perched Tetsuo Oni IV with the intent to push her right off the turnbuckle and to the floor. Tetsuo Oni jumps up to her feet and flips over the head of Samael Drago so that he has to put his arms out to halt himself from crashing into the corner. Tetsuo Oni hits the mat and launches into a corkscrew spear that sends Samael chest-first into the corner. Tetsuo Oni backs up a step, but Samael launches himself backward to strike Tetsuo in the mouth with an elbow to stun her. A spinning wheel kick would put Tetsuo to the mat.
Ben Price – Fast action right off the bat.
Eddie Vega – They would look to eliminate one another as soon as possible. That would grant a break in the match until the next person comes down to the ring.
Samael watches as Tetsuo gets back to her feet and goes for the shotgun suplex, but Tetsuo goes sideways with a lightning-quick cartwheel. She catches Samael as he gets back up to throw him back to the mat with a jiu-jitsu throw. Samael gets right back to his feet, but is caught with a bicycle kick that sends him right back to the mat.
Samael gets right back up, but is whipped into the ropes. Tetsuo runs at him on the rebound and turns as if to do a crossbody, but hits a running knee strike to the midsection to double Samael over into a flip to the mat! Tetsuo gets right back up and goes for a standing moonsault, but Samael gets his knees up to catch her in the midsection! He dumps her off to the side and gets back to his feet. He waits for her to get back up before executing a picture-perfect unset flip piledriver!
Ben Price – You know, there’s wrestling to throw someone out of the ring and then there’s having to pick up a knocked out person up and throw them out.
Eddie Vega – Maybe he wants to make a statement?
Samael Drago gets Tetsuo Oni up into a fireman’s carry position and begins calmly walking toward the ring ropes. That’s when he sees the timer on the ConquestTron beginning to count down. The crowd counts with it as it counts down to zero and there’s a loud bizz!
Eric Wilson – Coming next to the ring, weighing in at 217 pounds…he is Johnny Sniper!
The arena lights dim as “Jonny Sniper” by Enter Shikari begins to play. The crowd erupts as Johnny Sniper steps out onto the stage, his eyes scanning the crowd with military precision. Wearing his signature camo pants, brown boots, and green wrist tape, he raises a hand in a crisp salute before marching down the ramp. His movements are methodical, exuding discipline and focus as he climbs the ring steps and enters the ring, ready for battle.
Samael watches Johnny Sniper enter the ring, barely noticing that Tetsuo Oni slips down behind him to the mat and grabs him from behind for a release German suplex! Sniper runs over and clotheslines Tetsuo to the mat!
Ben Price – Oh, now things will be working their way up now that Johnny Sniper is here!
Eddie Vega – His performance has been spotty at best. He’s not going to get far tonight.
Johnny puts the boot to Samael Drago while Tetsuo slowly gets up. She taps Johnny on the shoulder and steps back so that when he turns around, she can superkick him in the mouth! Johnny spins around, spitting blood all around, while Samael gets up. He grabs Johnny in a belly-to-belly suplex and tosses him from the ring!
Eric Wilson – Johnny Sniper has been eliminated!
Ben Price – That was quick.
Eddie Vega – He thought that he could jump on into the fight. Didn’t happen that way.
Tetsuo rushes at Samael, kicking him in the gut and getting him up into a vertical suplex. She attempts to dump him over the ropes, but he grabs the middle rope on the way down and slides back in under the bottom rope to sweep Tetsuo off of her feet!
Samael Drago gets back to his feet and pulls Tetsuo Oni IV up and whips her into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. He goes to put his shoulder into her on the rebound, but she does a flip, smashing his face with both knees and sending him right to the mat! Samael sits up, blood streaming from his nose as Tetsuo Oni goes back to the ropes and comes back with a knee strike to the face that levels Samael!
Tetsuo begins to pull Samael and starts working to get him over the ropes when the countdown begins again. Samael hits a back elbow to the side of the head to knock Tetsuo back a few steps while he composes himself. The ConquestTron lights up as Eric Wilson begins speaking.
Eric Wilson – And next to enter the ring, weighing in at 328 pounds…it is Hehehe!
“Sweet Dreams” by the Aviators begins playing as Hehehe walks out from the back. He looks a little lost without Hahaha, but heads down to the ring anyway.
Hehehe gets into the ring where Samael immediately sets upon him with a series of right hands. Hehehe absorbs the punishment and strikes back with a headbutt to the chest that knocks the wind out of Samael like an explosion. Hehehe then walks away from the downed Samael, but is nailed in the face with a drop kick from Tetsuo that staggers him backward a few steps.
Samael grabs the staggered Hehehe for a Russian Legsweep that Tetsuo enhances with a knee to the chest as Hehehe hits the mat!
Ben Price – Samael and Tetsuo working together?
Eddie Vega – Sometimes you have to do that to get rid of the greater evil.
Ben Price – I don’t know if I would call Hehehe a “greater evil”. He’s just kind of dumb.
Eddie Vega – Well, he works for the von Krausses so technically he’s in the greater evil camp.
Hehehe rolls away and back to his feet as Samael and Tetsuo set themselves on him once again. Hehehe fires back with a punch to the midsection of Samael and an uppercut to send him to the mat. He then grabs Tetsuo Oni, lifting her up and bringing her down onto her left knee onto the mat! Tetsuo rolls around while clutching at her leg. Samael gets back to his feet and grabs Hehehe for an armlock/shoulderlock combination!
Samael drags Hehehe to the corner while Tetsuo sits in the middle of the ring to rest. Samael slams Hehehe’s face into the turnbuckle ten times and then bulldogs him to the mat. That’s when he walks over to the resting Tetsuo and goes to pick her up and throw her bodily over the ropes if she wants to go or not. Tetsuo wiggles until she is capable of falling out of Samael’s arms and grabs him on the way down for a cutter!
Ben Price – Chaos in the ring as all three people go at it.
Eddie Vega – I’d say I’m surprised that they hadn’t eliminated the clown yet, but he weighs about as much as the both of them put together.
Ben Price – That’s one heavy clown!
Eddie Vega – You said it, not me.
Tetsuo gets up, but is punched in the spine by Hehehe, who then pulls her up into a fireman’s carry that he drops her into a backbreaker! He holds her there for a moment, bending her backwards over his knee. Samael Drago gets up and watches what’s going on with a smile, but then the ConquestTron lights up with the countdown again, and the crowd counts along with until the buzzer goes off!
Eric Wilson – Next to enter the ring at this time, weighing in at 220 pounds…he is Steve Murdock!
The opening notes of “Walk” by Pantera play as Steve Murdock stands at the entry way as the wave of crowd sentiment of either boos or cheers reach a fever pitch. He then raises his barbed wire wrapped kendo stick in the air and jogs to the ring, rolling under the bottom rope and cracks Samael across the face with the kendo stick, dragging the barbed wire across his face!
Ben Price – Steve Murdock is pretty bandaged up from the Elite title match that went on before this match, but he comes in strong!
Eddie Vega – Is he allowed to bring that into the ring? He could be disqualified?
Ben Price – There’s no disqualification in this kind of match.
Eddie Vega – Then, why doesn’t everyone bring weapons?
Ben Price – Because it’s in poor taste.
Eddie Vega – Yes, but-
Samael Drago backs up to the corner while clutching at the right side of his face where blood seeps through his fingers from the wide gash given to him by Steve, who turns his attentions to Hehehe. He cracks his barbed wire kendo stick across the back a few times, shattering the weapon. Hehehe drops Tetsuo Oni onto the mat and stands up, turning to face Steve Murdock with a wide grin. He gives a ghastly giggle and punches Steve in the midsection to double him over and then hits a double-underhook suplex.
Hehehe begins stomping Steve Murdock with a certain amount of glee. Tetsuo Oni looks to get involved, but Samael grabs her from behind and slams her to the mat with a German suplex. He picks her up again and goes for another German suplex, this time aiming to throw her out. He lifts her into the air, but before he can get her over the ropes, Hehehe kicks him in the nuts. Samael Drago falls straight down. He lands on his butt and curls into a ball while Tetsuo Oni hits the top rope with the small of her back and falls back inside the ring, landing butt-first onto the cut side of Samael’s face!
Eddie Vega – Oh, jeeze! That’s going to leave a mark!
Ben Price – Yeah. I mean, Samael’s face is already marked by Steve Murdock.
Eddie Vega – No, I mean on Tetsuo’s butt! Blood transfer, making it look like she’s on her period without one of those devices used to contain the blood.
Ben Price – Oh, gross.
Hehehe looks at the devastation that he’s caused with a certain amount of pride, but he turns around right into a fireball to the face from Steve Murdock! The Hardcore Icon belts the blinded clown a few times in the face with a pair of brass knuckles before whipping him into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. He follows as Hehehe puts on the brakes at the ropes and begins trying to get him over the ropes, though the clown is so much heavier than the Hardcore Icon that it’s not as easy as you would think. The ConquestTron lights up with a countdown yet again until it buzzes!
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 215 pounds…he is Malibu Mike Swanson!
“California Girls” by the Beach Boys begins playing as Mike Swanson walks out from the back to the cheering of the fans (women in particular). He poses for the fans for a moment before heading straight down to the ring, where he slides in under the ropes and starts helping Steve Murdock try to eliminate Hehehe!
Samael Drago and Tetsuo Oni are slow to get to their feet. They see what’s going on across the ring and not to one another before running across the ring. Samael hits Steve with a dropkick while Tetsuo Oni hits Mike Swanson with a dropkick. All three stay in the ring while Samael and Tetsuo stand side by side. Samael acts first, elbowing Tetsuo in the side of the head and grabbing her for a sit-out piledriver!
Hehehe sits up and looks over at Mike Swanson and Steve Murdock as they both get up. He points at them and begins to laugh like an unhinged maniac. Steve looks livid while Mike looks at himself as if there was something funny about him. He looks on and shrugs, deciding to laugh along. Steve smacks him in the mouth with the brass knuckles, sending him to the mat, where he begins to bleed. Hehehe gets up, and Steve Murdock hits him a few times with the brass knuckles, but despite dark blood leaking freely and the clown nose honking, Hehehe advances on Steve Murdock.
Steve throws a punch, but Hehehe catches it, brass knuckles and all. Hehehe smiles as he begins to squeeze the hand with the brass knuckles.
Hehehe – That’s just not funny, Hardcore Man.
Steve’s eyes go wide, and he’s driven to his knees as the brass knuckles bend and collapse slightly, and his hand goes crunch.
Samael Drago gets up and sees that Tetsuo Oni is still lying on the mat. He goes to lift her when a bloody-mouthed Mike Swanson grabs him from behind. Samael hits a back elbow to break free of the grab and slips behind Mike Swanson so that he can, hook him up for another German suplex. This one tosses Mike Swanson from the ring!
Eric Wilson – Malibu Mike Swanson has been eliminated!
Samael Drago stands over the fallen Tetsuo Oni and points down at her.
Samael Drago – You are next!
Ben Price – Awfully confident of him to be saying something like that when he hasn’t been able to put her out yet.
Eddie Vega – Not yet. He’s working up to it.
Hehehe pulls Steve Murdock up by his brass knuckled hand and releases it so we can see that both the knuckles and the hand are mangled. He picks Steve up into a press slam position and sends him flying over the top rope, where he lands on the mat with a heap.
Eric Wilson – “The Hardcore Icon” Steve Murdock has been eliminated!
Samael pulls Tetsuo up and gets behind her to do another German suplex, but he doesn’t get her up into the air before Hehehe grabs them both in a massive bear hug, squeezing them together. About that time the ConquestTron lights up with another countdown when it buzzes…
Eric Wilson – And coming next to the ring, weighing in at 335 pounds…he is “the Dreadnaught” Miguel Lanza Jr!
As Disturb’s “Won’t Back Down” starts to play over the Arena’s PA System, the big man from Puerto Rico walks out. He raises up his left hand in a fist as he stands there one moment to take in whatever the crowd’s reaction may be tonight. Once he’s ready, he makes his way down to the ring, occasionally giving the fans what is a very high-five for them.
Once he gets to the ring, he reaches up and pulls him self to the apron via pulling the top rope. He then enters, stepping over the ropes and begins hammering Hehehe over the back of the head and shoulders with forearm clubs.
Hehehe releases Samael and Tetsuo, spinning around to face Miguel. The two exchange some punches when Miguel whips Hehehe to the ropes. Samael makes another attempt to German suplex Tetsuo out of the ring, but Miguel grabs her by the ankle and keeps her from falling out of the ring. She falls to the mat, and Miguel kicks Samael in the gut to double him over. He never takes advantage of the situation as Hehehe puts a shoulder charge to the small of his back, knocking him straight into an uppercut by Samael.
Miguel is spun around by Hehehe, but Miguel connects with an elbow strike to the clown’s temple and forces him to be staggered back a few steps. He then throws himself backward, catching Samael with an elbow before getting him in a side headlock and bulldogging him to the mat. Miguel gets up, catches a rushing Hehehe, and bodyslams him to the mat. He then walks over and helps Tetsuo Oni to her feet. They both turn to face Hehehe and Samael who are both getting up.
Tetsuo Oni – You get the ugly one.
Miguel Lanza Jr – Which one is that?
Tetsuo grabs Samael, throwing him down to the mat with a butterfly suplex while Miguel begins punching in Hehehe’s ugly mug. Tetsuo Oni grabs Samael from the mat and begins running toward the ropes with him to send him over, but Samael drops to his knees and sends Tetsuo to the ropes alone. She bounces off of the ropes and comes back with a running knee strike directly to Samael’s face!
Miguel punches Hehehe a few times and only gets leered at. Miguel then responds with an inverted atomic drop. This gets Hehehe’s attention as he backs away while reaching for his crotch area. Miguel backs up to the ropes so he can bounce off of them and take the clown down with a spear!
Tetsuo pulls Samael to his feet and gets him whipped to the ropes. She follows him with the intent to clothesline him over the ropes. Instead, Samael sidesteps the attack and pulls down the ropes so that a surprised Tetsuo goes over the top rope, but she does land both feet onto the ring apron. Samael grabs her by the back of the head and runs with her to the corner to smash her face into the ringpost. Tetsuo blocks the attempt, fighting to keep her face from being smashed into the ringpost. She gets one hand free to dig her fingers into the cuts on his face, and he releases her to back away. Tetsuo re-enters the ring.
Miguel stands up and watches as Hehehe gets up. He slams the clown in the side of the head with an elbow, but it doesn’t really faze him. He kicks the clown in the gut and power bombs him to the mat. This plants the clown, knocking the foul air from his lungs. Miguel pulls Hehehe up and walks him over to the ropes, working to get him thrown out of the ring.
Ben Price – Looks like this has become a tag team against two individuals.
Eddie Vega – That’s exactly what it is. Hehehe and Samael won’t work together, but Tetsuo and Miguel will.
Tetsuo begins stalking Samael, who is leaning against the corner while clutching at his face, which has begun bleeding again. Tetsuo gets close, and Samael whips his hand at her to get blood in her eyes. Her hands fly to her face to clear her vision. Samael grabs her and power bombs her, keeping hold so that he can get her up and do it again and again in a signature move called Three Lives, Death Each Time.
Miguel gives up trying to work Hehehe over the ropes and picks him up to bodyslam him over the ropes, but that’s when he sees Tetsuo Oni being dropped for the third time in a power bomb. He bodyslams Hehehe in the ring and rushes to her aid. He slams his shoulder into Samael, who is knocked against the corner, where he slides down into a seated position. Miguel checks on the downed Tetsuo while unnoticed, Samael rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope.
Ben Price – Can he do that?
Eddie Vega – As it happens…yes.
Hehehe wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as he gets up and looks across the ring, where he sees Miguel helping Tetsuo stand up. He begins walking across the ring when he hears the countdown begin again on the ConquestTron.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Brutal Mike Brandon!
“Dirty Deeds” by AC/DC begins playing as Mike Brandon walks out from the back. He runs for the ring and slides under the ropes, thinking he could speedbag Hehehe in the face.
The clown absorbs the punishment with a wide grin and grabs Mike, whipping him into Miguel and Tetsuo. Tetsuo grabs Mike for a hip toss and neatly sends him from the ring.
Ben Price – That was quick.
Eddie Vega – That is an understatement.
Eric Wilson – Brutal Mike Brandon has been eliminated!
Ben Price – And I thought his name was Mick?
Eddie Vega – I don’t think they cared enough to call him by his correct name.
Hehehe begins walking toward Miguel and Tetsuo, intending on fighting them both, when Samael jumps up onto the ring apron and grabs Tetsuo Oni from behind. He drags her over the top rope and throws her to the floor!
Eric Wilson – Tetsuo Oni IV has been eliminated!
Miguel turns around to see Samael on the floor and not eliminated. He reaches for him, but Hehehe puts a shoulder to his back, knocking him down, but not out. Samael slips back into the ring. Hehehe gets in front of him, and Drago pulls both his hands back as if he is about to perform a Hadouken, then releases the pressure into a Pankration-style powerful front heel kick to the stomach in a move called the Gastrizein. Hehehe doubles over and begins retching, but nothing comes out. Miguel drops a leg across the back of Hehehe’s neck to send him face-first to the mat!
Miguel gets back to his feet, but Samael hits a spinning wheel kick to knock him to the turnbuckles. Samael runs at him, hitting a leaping avalanche in the corner! Samael then backs away from the corner, but is grabbed from behind into an inverse ddt by Hehehe!
Ben Price – That’s the trouble with it being down to a three-way dance. Not enough eyes to watch your back.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, except it was Miguel who had someone looking out for him. Samael has been alone this whole time.
Ben Price – At some point, if Samael can last long enough, he will have friends with him.
Eddie Vega – If he lasts long enough.
Hehehe leers at Miguel, who is still in the corner. He comes rushing at Miguel, an avalanche on the mind when Miguel pulls up his legs while holding onto the top rope. Hehehe slams face-first into the feet and backs up a few steps while seeming dazed. Miguel comes out of the corner and grabs Hehehe by the back of the head and goes to the mat to slam the clown’s face into the mat.
Miguel turns around to find Samael to catch a shotgun dropkick to the face that sends him backwards, tripping over the fallen form of Hehehe. Samael stops and kicks Hehehe in the side of the head, sending dark blood splattering across the mat. He walks over to the downed Miguel and pulls him up with some difficulty. He begins walking Miguel over to the ropes, but Miguel drops to his knees and strikes back with an elbow to Samael’s midsection to get him to double over. When Samael’s head is within reach, Miguel grabs him by the head so he can smash him face-first into the mat! The ConquestTron lights up with the next countdown, the fans chanting along until the buzzer.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 215 pounds…he is Mysterion!
The houselights lower and a spotlight falls on the stage, highlighting the entrance from the back. Everything slowly falls silent until an electronically distorted voice sounds over the PA;
“WHO… IS… MYSTERION?!”
“Basket Case” by Offspring kicks off at a deafening volume and strobe lights suddenly start flashing crazily, as though controlled by a kid with ADHD on a sugar rush. Fireworks tear off into the rafters, flooding the empty upper stadium in light. The excitement levels of the crowd grows.. Surely an entrance such as this alludes a someone.. a BIG someone! Suddenly that distorted voice sounds again as it once more asks;
“WHO… IS… MYSTERION?!”
A spray of sparks erupt either side of the stage and a man burst’s through onto the stage, the voice sticks to a loop, repeating the words;
“HE… IS… MYSTERION… HE… IS… MYSTERION… HE… IS… MYSTERION…”
The spotlight refocuses on the animated, excited wrestler to reveal…
A basic masked wrestler?
Ben Price – What’s this? Generic form Mysterion?
Eddie Vega – Sure look like it.
Mysterion makes his way down to the ring, slapping extended hands of excited fans on the way. He looks across the ring to see himself being charged by Miguel. Mysterion panics and puts up his arms in a cross pattern to block the shoulder charge that takes him down to the mat anyway.
Hehehe stands up, watching as Samael Drago rolls out of the ring. He leans in the corner for a moment while watching Miguel Lanza Jr pull Mysterion up. He whips the masked man into the ropes and follows him. Mysterion thinks he’s doing great by putting on the brakes at the ropes. He seems proud of himself until he sees Miguel charging him and hitting a clothesline that takes him over the ropes and to the floor!
Eric Wilson – Mysterion has been eliminated!
Ben Price – I would have thought that Mysterion would have lasted longer.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, that was the going thought, buut no. He didn’t.
Hehehe walks over and puts an elbow strike to the small of Miguel’s back. Miguel spins around and is caught up in a powerslam to the mat. Hehehe stands up and gives his ghastly, wet giggle as he puts the boot to Miguel to keep him down. Hehehe then goes to the ropes on the opposite side and begins to come back when he trips to the mat. Samael Drago, on the outside, having reached in and grabbed his ankle.
Miguel Lanza Jr gets up and sees Samael Drago on the outside and motions for him to get his butt back in the ring. Hehehe stands back up and looks to the outside of the ring where Samael and also motions for him to come back in.
Ben Price – Is this going to be a standoff now? Those in the ring wanting the guy from the outside of the ring to come back in?
Eddie Vega – Seems to be that way.
The standoff goes on for a few seconds before Hehehe moves suddenly and elbows Miguel in the mouth. Miguel strikes back with a headbutt and a fresh inverted atomic drop on Hehehe. The clown goes cross-eyed for a moment while Miguel grabs him up into a power bomb position. He turns toward the ropes and seems ready to throw Hehehe out of the ring when Samael connects with a spear through the ropes on his way back into the ring! Hehehe is dropped to the side as Miguel is taken down to the mat and Samael begins laying into him with hard right hands. Hehehe gets up and yanks Samael off of Miguel and headbutts him in the back of the head and tosses him to the side before leaping onto Miguel with a splash!
Ben Price – Damn! A splash from the clown has ta hurt!
Eddie Vega – Yeah, it would.
Hehehe gets up and sees that Samael is working his way up. Hehehe grabs him and throws him from the ring and turns away. However, Samael catches the top rope and skins the cat, getting back into the ring unnoticed. Hehehe pulls Miguel up and runs to the ropes with him with the intent to throw him from the ring, but Miguel catches the clown in the side of the head with an elbow and shoves him into the ropes while putting on the brakes. As Hehehe comes back from the ropes, Miguel hits a big boot to the face, knocking the clown to the mat.
Miguel seems satisfied with himself when he is taken down with a side headlock that Samael turns into a rear-naked chokehold! He keeps the pressure on, but then realizes that he’s not going to be able to eliminate an unconscious Miguel and breaks the hold. He steps back, but Hehehe hits a low blow from behind. Samael’s eyes bulge from his head before he falls over to the side, curling up into a fetal position. Hehehe gets up, but then looks over at the ConquestTron as the countdown begins once again.
Eric Wilson – Next to enter the ring at this time, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Gabriel Tuck!
Gabriel Tuck walks out from the back, howling to the crowd. When he gets boos in return, he looks miffed. He heads down to the ring, ignoring the fans and taking off his leather jacket on the way to drop onto the floor before sliding into the ring. He and Hehehe lock gazes before they nod to each other and take choices. Hehehe stomps on the downed Miguel while Gabriel pulls up Samael and begins hammering him with hard right hands.
Gabriel whips Samael to the ropes and follows with a leap, intending on getting a superman punch in, but gets caught and hotshotted onto the ropes! Hehehe gets his foot caught by Miguel, who strikes a mighty blow to the inside of the other knee that has the clown’s weight to bring him down.
Gabriel starts to stand up, but gets knocked back down by Samael, who uses both fists to hammer the biker’s shoulders over and over to keep him down. Gabriel fights through the pain to leap up into an uppercut that knocks Samael flat onto his back. Hehehe starts to get back up when he’s grabbed by Miguel for a belly-to-belly suplex!
Ben Price – The nKo with the numbers game right now.
Eddie Vega – That can quickly change in less than two minutes.
Gabriel stands over the downed Samael with a grin.
Gabriel Tuck – You’ve lasted a good while in the ring, but it’s about high time you left.
Gabriel pulls Samael up into a press slam position and begins walking toward the ropes, but Samael slides behind him and waits for Gabriel to turn around before hitting him with a short arm to a knee to the face that he calls Philoso-Knee!
Hehehe starts to get back up again when Miguel punt kicks him in the face to keep him down. He follows this up with another kick, this time to the ribcage. Miguel then grabs Samael from behind to spin him around and get him up into a vertical suplex position that he holds for a bit before dropping him down into a brainbuster!
Gabriel Tuck gets back up, but is run back down by Miguel Lanza Jr with a running knee. Hehehe tries to get up, but running knee from Miguel takes him back down too. Samael looks like he might try to get up, but stays dow. He tries to slide to the edge of the ring, but Miguel gets inbetween him and the ring ropes. He delivers several sharp kicks to the ribs to make sure that he knows not to leave again.
Ben Price – Miguel keeping everyone knocked down while he considers his next step.
Eddie Vega – It’s like a big game of Whack a Mole!
Ben Price – I suppose it could be looked at that like that.
Eddie Vega – I wonder who will be coming down to the ring yet. Is it almost time?
Ben Price – Well, what Miguel is doing is eating up time so yes,
Eddie Vega – Then I hpe someone comes out to change up what’s going on in the ring now.
Miguel keeps all three wrestlers down until he sees the ConquestTron light up with the countdown.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down ot the ring, weighing in at 300 pounds, he is “the Hound of Hades” Viktor Kriegson!
A string introduction of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Afterlife” plays as a singular spotlight finds its way to the entrance ramp, bringing a tall, imposing figure into view. Flames of anger flicker in his eyes as he looks around the crowd from the stage, his fists clenching and unclenching as they do.
The heavily distorted guitars of his theme kick in, joined by perfectly timed columns of fire exploding on each side of Viktor. He prowls down the ramp and towards his hunting grounds, brow furrowing with a rage-filled focus, each step perfectly in time with the music.
Moving up the ring steps and onto the apron, his hand grasps onto the top rope, a deep scowl crossing his face as his eyes look over the crowd once more. Wiping his boots on the floor, Viktor enters the ring through the top and middle ropes, where he is met by Miguel Lanza Jr with a hard right hand. Viktor grabs Miguel and pulls him into a short-arm clothesline to take him down. He walks over and helps Samael up and watches as the others get up.
Viktor Kriegson – Take it easy, Sam.
Gabriel Tuck gets up and goes after Samael, but Viktor seizes him by the arm and pulls him into a short-arm headbutt. Gabriel backs up a few steps, stunned, and a big boot to the chest puts him back down to the mat. Hehehe and Miguel Lanza Jr get up and Hehehe looks to lock up with Miguel when Miguel motions to the Anwnn standing tall. Hehehe looks over to see Viktor and Samael. He nods at Miguel and the two begin to advance on the team.
Viktor steps in front of Samael and begins exchanging punches with both Miguel and Hehehe. He quickly punches Hehehe in the throat, dropping him like a sack of potatoes and grabbing Miguel for a spinning spinebuster. Once on the mat, Samael begins putting the boot to Miguel while Gabriel Tuck gets up. He spins Viktor around and attacks him with a quick heart punch, but it fails to have much of an effect on the bigger man. Viktor seizes Gabriel by the throat and throws him into the corner. He follows with a series of thunderous corner clotheslines, finishing with a devastating big boot to the face!
Hehehe gets up and charges Viktor, who had just dealt with Gabriel Tuck. He puts a shoulder into the small of Viktor’s back, bending him backwards a little. Tuck brings himself to a seated position onto the turnbuckles and uses the second turnbuckle to launch himself into a palm thrust/uppercut into Viktor’s chin while he’s distracted to send him to the mat!
Ben Price – And now we see the value of teamwork.
Eddie Vega – We just watched a tag team tournament the other day, we know the value of teamwork.
Samael walks up behind Hehehe and kicks him low enough to kick him in the balls. Hehehe’s eyes bulge from his head from the assault.
Hehehe – Not again.
He keels over onto his side so that he can curl up into a fetal position. Gabriel leaps at Samael, going for a superman punch, but Samael sidesteps and brings up a knee into Gabriel’s midsection to knock him back into the corner! Viktor gets up and intercepts Miguel, nailing a snap power bomb!
The ConquestTron lights up with the countdown again with everyone wondering who will come down to the ring next. Hehehe sits up with his ghastly giggle as he announces.
Hehehe – My brother is coming next.
Ben Price – Is he right?
Eddie Vega – He doesn’t know…unless he’s seen the list.
Ben Price – He would remember the list? Or sense his brother?
Eddie Vega – That, I don’t know.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 135 pounds, she is Fiona O’Connell!
Hehehe looks sad as he realizes who is coming down to the ring.
Hehehe – Not my brother…
As ‘Blood’ by Dropkick Murphys plays over the PA, Fiona comes out from the back very much like a boxer, jogging in place, hopping from one foot to the other. She is clearly singing along with her entrance song, but no mics pick up her voice, and she lets loose a lightning-fast flurry of punches before holding up her right hand into the air. Her Mother, Tera, stands behind her, and Fiona makes her way to the ring slowly, stopping to shake hands with fans, and as the fans cheer, she seems to feed off their energy and then, finally, makes her way to the ring, where she climbs in and begins to throw a combination of punches upon Samael and Viktor, backing them up so that she can check on Miguel.
The Anwnn move to attack the Upstarts, but the nKo strike first. Hehehe brings Viktor down with a German suplex while Gabriel takes Samael down with a reverse neckbreaker! Hehehe and Gabriel get back up, only to be assaulted by the Upstarts! Miguel grabs Hehehe and puts him down with a side suplex while Fiona attacks Gabriel with a few punches, quickly outpacing the brawler with her boxing skills.
Viktor is up first, drilling Miguel in the side of the head with a hard right hand to stun him and then puts both Gabriel and Fiona down with a double clothesline. Samael gets up and kicks a rising Hehehe in the temple to knock him back down.
Miguel nails Viktor with an uppercut to stun him and whips him into the ropes while kicking Samael in the side to get him to stop putting the boot to Fiona and Gabriel. However, Viktor comes back with a clothesline to the back of Miguel’s neck to send him to the mat. Hehehe gets up and pushes Samael to the ropes.
Hehehe – I’m tired of dealing with you!
Hehehe pulls Samael down a little and clamps down with his teeth into Samael’s left shoulder, drawing a scream of pain from Samael.
Ben Price – I guess Hehehe got hungry?
Eddie Vega – And with the referees outside of the ring to make sure that the eliminations are fair, there’s no one to break this up!
Gabriel gets up and passes a hand to Fiona, who looks confused, but accepts the hand up. They are confronted by Viktor Kriegson, who begins exchanging punches with both of them. He holds his own against the pair until Miguel spins him around and hits a midsection punch that doubles Viktor over so that Miguel can grab him by the back of the head and slam his face into the mat!
Samael Drago hits a few punches to the side of Hehehe’s face to get him to release the bite. Hehehe backs away, wiping fresh blood with the back of his hand. Samael notes the bleeding bite wound and growls before rushing at Hehehe and hitting a shining wizard that takes the clown down to the mat!
Ben Price – Hehehe trying to eat Samael Drago whole?
Eddie Vega – Sure looked that way.
Miguel Lanza Jr clotheslines Gabriel Tuck before putting the boot to Viktor to keep him down on the mat. Fiona stands over Gabriel and, for a moment, it seems like she’s going to press her attack, but then she puts out a hand and helps Gabriel up to his feet.
Ben Price – Why are they helping one another? They are enemies?
Eddie Vega – I have no idea. I would have kicked him in the face.
Samael Drago grabs Miguel Lanza Jr and whips him into the corner. Samael gets between Migiel and the corner so that he can get up onto the turnbuckles so he can apply a sleeper hold! Viktor Kriegson gets up, grabs Gabrel by the back of the neck, and runs him to the ropes so that he can throw him over the ring ropes. However, Gabriel lands on the announce table for the French announce team that is close to the South side of the ring. He lies where he lands, though, obviously in pain, but not eliminated yet. Viktor then grabs for Fiona, but gets a few boxing jabs for his efforts.
Miguel walks away from the corner so that Samael has to wrap his legs around Miguel to keep the sleeper hold on. Miguel throws himself backward into the corner, sandwiching Samael between him and the corner to get Samael to break the sleeper. Miguel spins around as Samael slides into a seated position and begins kicking him in the chest.
Viktor exchanges a few punches with Fiona, but it becomes pretty clear that Viktor hits harder than the small Fiona. A solid right punch to the eye socket stuns Fiona and Viktor throws her from the ring! However, Gabriel chooses this time to leap back into the ring, catching Fiona, and sending them both through the ropes and back into the ring. The crowd is stunned for a second before they begin to cheer loudly.
Ben Price – What the heck? He saved his enemy?
Eddie Vega – I have no idea to be perfectly honest.
It’s about then that the countdown begins on the ConquestTron. Hehehe gets up and sees that Gabriel is down by Fiona. He looks around to see Victor and attacks him with lefts and rights, with Viktor fighting right back. Samael shoves the clown from behind into a clothesline from Viktor, who then kicks Miguel in the ribcage to keep him down.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring…the Peak of Freak!
The first whispered lines of the song “Stitch” by Wage War plays and the initial breakdown is followed by The Peak of Freak walking out from behind a black curtain. Walking to the center area of the ramp with a stone solid expression as he slowly turns his head to leer at both sides of the crowd. Then, as Peak raises his arms, black and red pyro goes off on both sides of the ramp, descending towards his position. Smoke rises into the air and when it dissipates, Peak charges the ring and jumps up onto the apron. Pushing down the top rope to climb over it and run directly into the action by fighting with Samael and Viktor both.
Gabriel Tuck and Fiona O’Connell get up and pick their targets. Gabriel helps Peak attack Viktor while Fiona does a quick headscissors takedown on Samael. Miguel and Hehehe get up. Hehehe grabs Viktor from behind and gets him up into an Argentine backbreaker while Miguel goes straight for the Peak of Freak and attacks him. Gabriel backs away from the confrontation, backing into Fiona. He turns to attack her, but then stops when he sees who it is. Fiona goes on the attack, which presses Gabriel into defending himself.
Fiona O’Connell – Why are you being weird? We’re enemies!
Gabriel Tuck – We are in rival camps, but we don’t have to be enemies.
Samael spins Fiona around and gets her to the mat with a fisherman’s suplex. Gabriel kicks him full in the face, though, breaking open fresh scabs on Samael’s face and sending blood flying across the mat.
Hehehe drops to his side, dropping Viktor onto his head. The Peak of Freak drops the tired Miguel to his knees with a hard right hand and then boots him in the face to send him the rest of the way to the mat. Gabriel leans down to grab Samael and is punched in the throat for his efforts. Gabriel drops down and clutches at his throat while Fiona gets up and hits Samael with a back stabber!
The countdown flashes on the ConquestTron again.
Ben Price – It’s already time?
Eddie Vega – Time flies when you’re having fun.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 120 pounds…she is Christina Papadopoulos!
“I’m Gonna Show You Crazy” by Bebe Rexha begins playing through the arena.
There’s a war inside my head
Sometimes I wish that I was dead, I’m broken
So I call this therapist
And she said girl you can’t be fixed just take this
I’m tired of tryin’ to be normal
I’m always overthinking
I’m driving myself crazy
So what if I’m fucking crazy
Christina Papadopoulos appears on the Entrance Ramp with her Arms behind her back nonchalantly with a Smirk.
However, Trelisa Perrault comes out right behind her. She watches as Christina begins walking down the aisle toward the ring and Trelisa blows a kiss to the crowd before running up behind her and leaping through the air to his a running knee strike to the small of Christina’s back, sending her face-first into the security railing. She falls to the floor and Trelisa Perrault saunters down to the ring while walking Christina with her. She rolls Christina into the ring, follows, and then throws the semi-conscious Christina out of the ring and to the floor!
Ben Price – Can she do that?
Eddie Vega – Looks like she just did.
Eric Wilson – Trelisa was next on the list to come out, so…she’s early. Um, weighing in at 160 pounds…Trelisa Perrault! Also, Christina Papadopoulos has been eliminated!
Trelisa ignores everyone in the ring, crossing it in second. She grabs Fiona by the hair from behind and turns her around so she can hit a twisting neckbreaker! Gabriel looks on in shock before being caught up by Viktor and nailed with an exploder suplex! Peak pulls Miguel up and lifts him up into the air in a choke slam position and begins to walk toward the ropes. Hehehe gets up, but is sent face-first into the corner with a drop toe hold by Samael!
The ConquestTron lights up, but not with a countdown. An entrance video plays as Steve Murdock walks out from the back, but this time dressed up as “the Last Outlaw” theme and gear. He quietly heads down to the ring while the crowd look at him in stunned silence.
Ben Price – Does he think that changing gimmicks means that he can re-enter the ring as a new person?
Eddie Vega – Sure looks like it does, and officials are letting him into the ring!
Steve Murdock runs across the ring and puts the shoulder into the back of the Pak of Freak, but Peak still manages to dump Miguel Lanzza Jr out of the ring before staggering to one knee. Steve nails Peak with a series of hard rights, but Peak throws out both fists to connect with Steve’s midsection to double him over. Peak then grabs the back of Steve’s head and brings his face down to mash against Peak’s knee!
Eric Wilson – Miguel Lanza Jr has been eliminated!
Viktor Kriegson stomps on Gabriel Tuck and then kicks him in the ribs. He starts to lean down to grab at Tuck when Trelisa roundhouse kicks him in the small of the back in a move that drops Viktor to his knees. This allows Trelisa to walk around and hit Viktor in the chin with a superkick and drop him to the mat!
She reaches to help Gabriel up when Fiona takes her down with a dropkick! Hehehe grabs her before she can mount the fallen Trelisa and rain down punches and hurls her across the ring. Samael catches the pinballing Fiona and sends her into a corner. He then helps Viktor up, but then turns into a Wolf Strike (superman punch) by Gabriel Tuck! He doesn’t stay on his feet long as a backhand by Viktor sends him crashing to the mat! Hehehe throws a shoulder into the small of Viktor’s back, running him to the ropes. Trelisa adds to this with a dropkick to the back of Viktor’s head, sending him over the ropes! However, Hehehe is taken with. Trelisa Perrault looks on, upset at having helped eliminate a teammate. Samael grabs her from behind in an attempt to hit the Eternal Fall, but Gabriel Tuck nails a headbutt from behind and throws Samael down to the mat.
Ben Price – Trelisa and Gabriel still working together pretty well.
Eddie Vega – You would think so since they are tag team champions.
Eric Wilson – Viktor Kriegson and Hehehe have been eliminated!
Fiona O’Connell gets up and looks around before attacking Trelisa Perrault, hitting a boxing combo that backs her into a corner. Gabriel looks to help Trelisa, but a full nelson suplex from Samael puts him to the mat. Steve Murdock and Peak of Freak exchange punches, but the Last Outlaw holds his ground against the larger monster. At least he does until Peak throws him to the ropes and on the rebound, hits a back drop that sends Steve right out of the ring!
Eric Wilson – Steve Murdock has been eliminated…again!
Samael sits up and sees the lay of the land with three members of the nKo in the ring at once. He rolls silently out of the ring, but is not unseen in his motion. Gabriel gets Peak’s attention and jerks his thumb at where Samael fled.
Gabriel Tuck – Get him, we got Fiona.
The Peak of Freak looks like he might want to say something, but rolls out of the ring and begins following Samael around the ring like a Jason Voorhees chasing a victim.
Ben Price – What now? Is Gabriel still trying to woo Fiona into the nKo?
Eddie Vega – Sure seems so, but Trelisa isn’t having it.
Gabriel Tuck – Fiona! We don’t have to fight! We could be companions. Leave the Upstarts that only fuel Abigail’s fire and join us!
Fiona takes a moment to look at Gabriel, but that’s when Trelisa grabs her by both shoulders and delivers a vicious headbutt!
Trelisa Perrault – Ouvre les yeux! She chose them, Gabriel. She is a lost cause!
Outside of the ring, Samael Drago stops to confront the Peak of Freak, hitting him full in the face with a fireball! He then whips the blinded Peak face-first into the ring steps to demolish them. He rolls back into the ring.
Ben Price – Regular Young and the Restless episode going on in the ring right now.
Eddie Vega – You sure it isn’t Trelisa being jealous?
Inside the ring, Fiona staggers backward from the headbutt. Gabriel grabs her and looks to throw her out of the ring when Samael clotheslines him to the mat and kicks Trelisa in the gut before delivering a Tiger suplex! He helps Fiona up and smirks.
Samael Drago – Don’t get it twisted. You’re the only non-nKo person out here with me.
The countdown comes back on the ConquestTron as the Peak of Freak rolls back into the ring.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 115 pounds…Vespertine!
The lights in the arena go out, over the loudspeakers we hear buddist monks chant and the slow gong of a funeral bell. This goes on for a minute before we hear her voice..
“I see you
I see your soul
And it… is…. mine!”
As the buddhist chant and the gong die down, “The Mad Queen” comes up and purple and black lights come up. From under the stage doing a gangrel type entrance is Vespertine. On the Tron we see pics of her wrestling. She is facing backwards and when the lift stops, she turns around and steps off to the entrance ramp, still looking down, arms crossed in front of her.
As the song builds, she looks up and we see her eyes are completely white and orbless. She then raises her fist into the air and two lighting strikes come from different areas of the arena and strike on each side of her. She saunters in time to the music, getting halfway down to the ring before she takes off her trenchcoat and runs down to the ring to slide in and join the fight. She nails the rising Gabriel in the side of the head with a hard right hand, sends Trelisa back into the corner with a spinning heel kick, hits the Peak of Freak with a throat thrust, and finally takes Fiona down with a series of Muay Thai punches.
Ben Price – Vespertine a ball of energy in the ring!
Eddie Vega – Samael finally has an ally in the ring again.
Gabriel gets up, but Samael is on him quickly. Whipping him into the ropes and hitting a backdrop on the rebound, not quite sending Gabriel out of the ring, but close. Trelisa is out of the corner and begins exchanging punches with Vespertine. The Peak of Freak grabs Fiona by the throat and lifts her up into the air before chokeslamming her to the mat.
Gabriel starts to get back up when Samael kicks him in the face to keep him on the mat. Vespertine backs up a step, dodging a punch, and hitting a spinning heel kick to stun Trelisa before hitting a snapmare driver! The Peak of Freak walks over Fiona’s back, putting all of his weight onto her spine for a moment.
Ben Price – Peak really putting the hurt to Fiona.
Eddie Vega – I guess either Gabriel has given up trying to recruit her or he’s just too busy with Samael.
The Peak of Freak walks away from the downed Fiona and clotheslines Vespertine to the mat before moving on to seize Samael and deliver two powerful headbutts before releasing himi so he can fall to the mat. He helps Gabriel and Trelisa up.
Peak of Freak – Come on now. Don’t be such lightweights.
Fiona O’Connell gets to her feet and starts walking toward the Peak of Freak, determination on her mind, when Vespertine steps in the way. Fiona throws an uppercut that Vespertine sidesteps and brings a knee up into Fiona’s midsection. A quick gutwrench suplex puts Fiona onto the mat so that Vepertine can hit a cartwheel bomb! Vespertine turns around, satisfied with herself, when Trelisa hits an Akido Hip throw, tossing her across the ring. Gabriel and Peak stomp on the downed Samael.
Trelisa has her sights on Vespertine when Fiona taps her on the shoulder. Trelisa spins around to take a knee to the gut and a double arm ddt! Fiona stands up.
Fiona O’Connell – Take that, you crazy bitch!
Gabriel pulls Samael up to his feet and kicks him in the gut so that Peak can smash him back down to the mat with forearm smashes to the back. Peak then flexes with an arm, lifting it higher and higher until he drops an elbow to the back of Samael’s neck and rolls over to do some push ups! Fiona runs over to Gabriel and drops him with pele kick!
The countdown begins again on the ConquestTron, the fans counting along with it until the buzzer!
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to rin, weighing in at 265 pounds…he is Gabriel Blight!
The sounds of “Releasing the Demons” fill the arena. Gabriel appears from backstage and paces toward the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and begins brawling with the Peak of Freak. He quickly shifts gears to kicking Peak in the gut and hitting a gutwrench suplex!
Fiona eyes Blight and does a double stomp to Tuck’s chest! Fiona pulls Trelisa up, but Vespertine takes them both down with a double clothesline! Peak starts to get up, but Blight grabs him and puts him back down with a pumphandle slam! Samael rolls out of the ring unseen by those in the ring.
Ben Price – That shouldn’t be legal.
Eddie Vega – But it is and only Samael is taking advantage of it.
Fiona gets up, but Vespertine punches her in the gut, then the throat, and finally a heart punch in a combo that she calls the Triple Threat. Trelisa starts to rise as Fiona falls and Vespertine goes to grab her and pull her up, but Trelisa pulls her down into a jawbreaker! Vespertine bounces and hits the mat! Peak starts to rise, but Blight grabs him again. Peak grabs Blight by the legs and pulls them out from underneath him to get him onto his back. Peak stands up, holding Blight’s ankles. He looks out to the crowd before stomping Blight right where it counts! Tuck gets up and looks down at Fiona. He goes to the ropes and comes back with a superman punch, but Fiona intercepts him with a mid-air spear that sends them both down to the mat.
Everyone starts to get up and a big brawl breaks out as each wrestler is trying to get dominion over someone else in the ring, Tuck and Vespertine, Fiona and Trelisa, and Peak and Blight are all brawling when Samael sets up a ladder outside of the ring and begins to climb it.
Ben Price – What’s he doing?
Eddie Vega – Looks like he’s going to get back into the ring?
Ben Price – Yeah ,but that way?
Eddie Vega – Sure looks like it.
Vespertine catches sight of Samael on top of the ladder and drops as Samael leaps off of the ladder to take everyone that’s standing in the ring down! The crowd goes wild at the stunt if not for the man who did it.
Just in time for the countdown to begin again at the ConquestTron.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 160 pounds, he is Agent Orange!
“Agent Orange” by Sodom begins playing as Agent Orange runs out from the back. He takes a look at the chaos going on in the ring and makes a beeline for the ring, sliding in under the ropes and picking a fight with the first person to stand up, which is Vespertine. She backs away from his awkward swings and nails him with a drop kick. Agent Orange gets right back up and Vespertine whips him into the ropes, following him closely so that when he impacts the ropes, she hits a drop kick that sends him over the ropes.
Ben Price – In and out again.
Eddie Vega – That’s why you don’t charge the ring.
Eric Wilson – Agent Orange has been eliminated!
Samael Drago gets up next, followed by Gabriel Tuck. Samael gets to him first and whips him toward the ropes with the intention of repeating Vespertine’s most recent stunt, but Trelisa rises and tackles Samael to the mat, laying into him with hard rights. Blight and Peak get up and begin brawling, each landing heavy blows on the other until both men are staggering. Fiona gets up and drags Trelisa off of Samael and takes her down with a swinging neckbreaker!
Fiona doesn’t get to take a moment as Vespertine kicks her in the midsection as she is getting up to knock her back down, leaps onto the middle rope, and lands on Fiona’s knees when she goes for the lionsault! Fiona dumps Vespertine to the side and gets back to her feet.
Blight spins Peak around an hits a half-nelson suplex. He stands up real quick and drops a knee to the Peak’s chest! Tuck walks over to where Trelisa is beating on Samael and has her get up. He measures his blow and kicks Samael in the side of the face that is wounded, reopening the wounds and sending blood and spittle flying across the mat. He picks Samael up into a press slam position and begins walking toward the ropes.
Fiona sees this and moves to intercept. Trelisa gets in the way, but a hard right hand knocks her flat so that she can dropkick the back of Tuck’s knees to get him to fall down. Samael looks up at Fiona standing over him with a hand extended.
Fiona O’Connell – Don’t get it twisted, we need numbers against the nKo.
Samael accepts the help and shoves Fiona to the ropes as Trelisa comes charging with a knee strike that connects with Samael in the midsection! Peak rolls away from Blight and gets to his feet, but Blight is on him with hammering blows and begins working to get the big man over the ropes. Vespertine runs over to help dump Peak.
“The Final Countdown” by Europe begins playing as Steve Murdock walks out from the back in his Olympic gear and he starts heading down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – And now coming down to the ring…”the Last Stop” Steve Murdock! I have been informed to let Steve know that if he becomes eliminated again and tries to come down a fourth tie that he will be fired…
Steve Murdock runs down to the ring, jumps up to the ring apron and headbutts the Peak of Freak! He pulls down the top rope so that Blight and Vespertine can eliminate him! Steve Murdock rolls into the ring and bodyslams Blight and then does the same to Vespertine.
Ben Price – Wow that was a blow to the nKo!
Eddie Vega – I’m surprised that they got him over the ropes, but not surprised that it took three of them.
Eric Wilson – the Peak of Freak has been eliminated!
The real countdown begins again on the ConquestTron.
Eric Wilson – And next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 328 pounds…he is Hahaha!
“Sweet Dreams” by the Aviators begins playing as Hehehe walks out from the back while juggling the severed heads of cats. He sees that the people are booing him and so he drops the cat heads and makes his way down to the ring while looking somewhat wounded at the booing. He rolls into the ring and grabs Fiona with a bear hug.
Ben Price – The nKo just shored up their number game!
Eddie Vega – Send in the clowns…
Gabriel Tuck gets up and looks at the downed Samael a moment before moving on to a different target. He spins Steve Murdock around and punches him in the mouth. Steve responds with a series of European uppercuts instead of punches, grabbing a stunned Tuck and hitting a side slam! Trelisa watches as Vespertine gets up and runs over to her, hitting her in the midsection with a knee strike! Blight gets up and grabs Trelisa by the back of the head and runs with her into the corner where he begins smashing her face into the top turnbuckle. He gets to ten before he releases her and steps back. Trelisa takes a wild swing at Blight, but falls onto her face.
Hahaha begins swinging Fiona side to side with the bear hug before he releases her so that she falls to her knees. He then reaches for her, but Fiona recovers quickly, hitting a leaping uppercut that staggers Hahaha backward a few steps to run into Steve Murdock, who hits him with a Russian Legsweep. Samael Drago gets up to his feet and surveys the scene before he grabs Blight from behind to hit a belly to back slam. Tuck gets up and sees Fiona all alone. He walks over to her and holds out his hand.
Gabriel Tuck – You can see how this match is going. There’s more of us and our foes are too splintered. Join us and let us show you what victory feels like.
Fiona O’Connell – I ain’t going anywhere near you and your crazed friends.
Gabriel shakes his head, his open hand being gripped tight into a fist.
Gabriel Tuck – You had your chance. Live with the results.
Gabriel advances as if he was going to punch Fiona, but a running knee to the side from Trelisa takes her down instead.
Trelisa Perrault – I have her.
Tuck nods and turns, grabbing Blight as he gets up and punching him in the midsection a few times before bringing him down with a DDT! Steve Murdock grabs Vespertine into a bodyslam position, but walks over to the ropes to try to throw her out. Hahaha runs over and clotheslines Steve in the back of the neck, sending both him and Vespertine over the ropes!
Eric Wilson – Vespertine and Steve Murdock have been eliminated!
Tuck pulls Blight up to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Tuck goes to follow to try to hit a superman punch while Blight was on the ropes, but Blight grabs the ropes and slips to the side while Tuck misses and lands on the middle rope. Before Blight can take advantage of the situation, Trelisa comes running and hits a high cross body that takes them both out of the ring, but they both land on the ring apron instead of falling to the floor. Hahaha puts a shoulder to Fiona, who had just got up, to knock her back down and runs over to Samael who has also just gotten up. Hehehe grabs him up into a power bomb and hurls him across the ring instead of out. Hahaha is left scratching his head, wondering why he did that.
Ben Price – D’oh! The body is willing, but the mind doesn’t know what to do.
Eddie Vega – That is an understatement.
Blight rolls back into the ring and sees Trelisa on the ring apron. He goes to kick her off the ring apron when Tuck hits the Wolf Strike (superman punch) against Blight, knocking him down. Fiona gets up and peppers the confused Hahaha with punches, bringing him back to the task at hand. Hahaha gives a ghastly giggle and hits an ear pop on Fiona, sending her to the mat. Trelisa rolls back into the ring where she is helped up by Tuck. Samael sits up and sees both Fiona and Blight down with the three nKo members standing tall.
Samael Drago – Well? No one said this would be easy.
He picks a fight with Tuck, slinging punches to Hahaha and Trelisa when he gets the chance, who back away to let Tuck handle things. However, Samael gets Tuck whipped to the ropes and hits a spinebuster on the rebound! Trelisa doesn’t let him up, hitting her running knee strike finisher to his face! Samael is sprawled out on the mat as if he had been shot and killed, leaking blood from his many wounds. Blight is up next, but Hahaha charges him. Blight evenly catches the clown, lifts him up into a press slam position, and uses the clown’s own momentum to throw him from the ring!
Eric Wilson – Hahaha has been eliminated!
Ben Price – Odds have shifted all of a sudden.
Eddie Vega – Depends on if they work together or not.
The ConquestTron lights up with another countdown, the fans counting along with it.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 280 pounds…he is “the Hardcore Prophet” Jakie Wentzel!
The screen cuts to static as the lights dim. The opening guitar riffs of “Domino the Destitute” play over the PA system. As the music builds, the screen displays picturesque scenery; farmland, tractors, quilts, friendly faces on porches. When the lead vocals come in the scene shatters into a blood red logo of Jakie Wentzel. As the music continues, flashes of Wentzel are shown intermeshed with horrific imagery. Torn blue jeans, a skull tattooed arm, burning crosses, maggots eating flesh, a pool of blood. The final shot shows Wentzel putting on a set of brass knuckles that pulls back to a full body shot. He smashes his fist into the screen, which goes black as the spotlights rise up on the entrance ramp.
“If you had the courage to stop me from turning into what would be the worst in everybody’s eyes.”
Jakie Wentzel enters down the ramp slowly in his trademark white v-neck tee shirt, black suspenders, torn blue jeans, and black steel toed boots. He is holding a leather-bound Bible. He does not acknowledge the screaming fans, and avoids eye contact.
“Hey, I’m no Angel, or the Devil of your conscience, to tell you what to be…good, bad, ugly or otherwise.”
As Wentzel makes his way to the ring, he stops at the commentary booth and referee. He then throws the Bible into the crowd and makes an obscene gesture to the person who gets the bible while muttering under his breath.
“If you had good common sense, your choices would be gleaming, flawless.
I want no part in this self-deprecating worthless chemistry.”
Entering the corner of the ring, he pumps his left fist in the air, displaying his glistening brass knuckles. He walks over to the man who eliminated the last clown, Gabriel Blight, and swings at him with the brass knuckles. Gabriel Blight shakes his head as he dodges and kicks Wentzel in the midsection before spinning him around for Fiona. She slips the brass knuckles off of his hand , slipping them on, and nailing Jakie in the side of the mouth to send blood and spittle spraying across the mat. She whips him to the ropes and hits him with a powerful right hand with the brass knuckles at the ropes to send him over the ropes and to the floor!
Eric Wilson – Jakie Wentzel has been eliminated!
Ben Price – I feel like that was to be an ally to the nKo, but never realized.
Eddie Vega – Jakie would stand with the man who had Intercourse destroyed?
Ben Price – Yes. I don’t know the whys or the hows, but yes. He would.
Eddie Vega – That man is insane!
Ben Price – So all he did was arm Fiona.
Eddie Vega – Not good for the nKo.
Fiona and Trelisa get at it. Trelisa taking a few test swings at Fiona to try to keep her distance from the brass knuckles. Fiona realizes this with a smirk, she takes the brass knuckles off and throws them from the ring. Trelisa gets in close to strike Fiona, but gets caught off guard with a lightning fast hard right hand to the side of the head that takes her down to the mat. She strikes a elbow blindly behind her and catches Tuck in the side of the head, stunning him.
Fiona looks over to see that Samael is still lying motionless on the mat and a running shoulder block from Blight takes her down.
Trelisa gets back up and throws a few knife edge chops Blight’s way, but they have little effect on the big man. He reaches for her and she pulls him down into a jawbreaker! Tuck gets up and begins kicking Blight in the ribcage. Fiona sits up and crawls over to Samael to try to get him to stir. She shakes him, but it does no good. She looks over to see Tuck and Trelisa taking turns to kick Blight while he’s down. She turns her attention back to Samael, trying to wake him.
The ConquestTron lights up with the countdown again.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 190 pounds, he is “the Airdevil” Madd Morales!
Fiona, who had looked hopeful for a moment, sinks further into despair as another nKo member is announced.
The lights slam to black. A wall of static overtakes the titantron, scratched-up footage, old matches, street fights, riots, Morales’s face spliced between shots like a cursed broadcast. Then-
“BEGGIN’ ON HER KNEES TO BE POPULAR!”
The opening howl of “Evil Jordan” tears through the arena, and the crowd erupts in a chaos of hate and hunger. Crimson searchlights slice through the dark like sirens, strobing in violent rhythm as a thick red fog floods the stage. The speakers boom with sub-bass so deep you feel it in your spine. Then he appears No hood. No mask. Just scars and swagger. His trench is blood-black leather, open to reveal a bare chest inked with fresh scripture. His ripped punk jeans are patched with new scraps of pain and protest, but like always two remain. “AIR” on one thigh, “DEVIL” on the other, marking him the same old war-worn prophet of violence. He doesn’t strut. He floats. Like sin in motion. Swagger and venom drip off him with every step. The camera gets close as he stares straight through it, eyes burning like coals under a cool exterior. The crowd roars, but he doesn’t acknowledge them. They’re not why he’s here.
At ringside, he stops, letting the music score the ritual. He sheds the coat like a serpent shedding skin. Flexes his taped fists. Cracks his neck. Then bends slowly… and kisses the mat before nodding like it’s an altar he’s about to bleed on. The beat stutters. The arena screams. He climbs the steps, pauses. Turns his back to the ring. Arms wide. Soaking in judgment. Mocking their gods. Becoming one. He stops outside of the ring and begins reaching under the ring, throwing weapons into the ring one at a time. Random stuff. Kendo sticks, a steel chair, brass knuckles, garbage can and lid, a strange glove, and several sheet pans. He then rolls into the ring.
Madd walks over to the downed Samael and shakes his head at Fiona with a mad grin.
Madd Morales – Time to let him go. Let me eliminate him…and you. It’ll hurt less.
He reaches for Fiona, who leaps up into a leaping uppercut, but Madd Morales jumps back out of the way at the last second. He steps back in to grab Fiona and hit the Grunge-shot Combo (Alternating Knee Lifts into a back elbow into a jumping high knee). He drops Fiona to the mat and looks down at Samael, nudging him with a foot.
Blight jumps up to his feet, throwing Tuck and Trelisa to the side. He grabs Tuck and whips him away toward the ropes and swings a clothesline at Trelisa, but she backs away. On the rebound, Blight neatly grabs Tuck up into a press slam position and drops him to the mat as Trelisa kicks him square in the balls. Blight falls to his knees, hands to his crotch.
Madd Morales walks over to the downed Blight and puts a hand on his shoulder.
Madd Morales – Watch a real leader eliminate someone.
Madd pulls Blight to his feet and whips him into the ropes. Madd follows, intent on a dropkick, but Blight catches him by the ankles and swings, sending Madd clear out of the ring where he lands on th French announce table!
Ben Price – Madd hasn’t been eliminated yet, his feet haven’t touched the floor!
Eddie Vega – Gabriel was just in this position not long ago and manages to jump back to the ring. Surely, the Airdevil can do it.
Fiona O’Connell gets up and nudges Samael again, slapping him when he doesn’t budge. This wakes Samael up and he groggily sits up.
Tuck picks up a baking sheet and wraps it around Blight’s face, forcing him to his knees as he tries to remove the metal pan. Trelisa hits a running knee strike to the baking pan (her Curtain Call finisher) and sends Blight to the mat.
The ConquestTron lights up to reveal the next entrant to come down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 357 pounds…”Executioner” Samuel Madison!
“Never Fade Away” by Samurai (Refused) begins playing as Executioner” Samuel Madison walks out from the back to the boos of the fans who remember him working with Morgan Decker. He motions for the fans to stop, only increasing their boos. He heads down to the ring, keeping his eyes on the action within. Before he gets into the ring, Madd Morales leaps through the air, dropping Samuel with a double stomp so that he can springboard back into the ring.
Samuel gets back to his feet, rubbing his head and looking angry. He steps into the ring on the side where Samuel and Fiona are standing and nods to them. Madd Morales gets to Trelisa and Tuck, looking at the downed Blight.
Madd Morales – Couldn’t eliminate him?
Samuel leads the charge across the ring with Fiona and Samuel. Samuel hammers Madd with a hard right hand, catching him by the shoulder when he starts to fall as to hold him up and hit him again. Fiona takes Trelisa down with a belly to belly suplex. Samael just stands in front of Tuck with a grin, feinting an attack instead that Tuck flinches to.
Samuel casts Madd to the side, joining Fiona and Samuel as the three of them bear down on Tuck. He backs up to a corner, looking somewhat nervous before he sees that Trelisa and Madd are starting to get back up. He grins at the three.
Gabriel Tuck – You know what? Fuck it.
Ben Price – I wonder what that means?
Eddie Vega – I think it means he’s going to do something stupid.
Gabriel begins brawling with all three of the wrestlers lined up against him, but not well. His foes are each better trained than him and overwhelm him quickly. They knock him into a seated position against the corner.
That’s when Fiona is lifted up by Trelisa and hit with a German suplex and Madd drop kicks the back of Samuel’s knees to ring him down. Samael places a foot to Gabriel’s throat, grabbing hold of the top rope to apply pressure to his choke hold.
Trelisa watches as Fiona gets back up and goes for a superkick, but Fiona catches the ankle with her left hand and turns in to slug her with the right hand. Trelisa catches her by the wrist this time and pulls her into a face palm to the nose, bloodying it right away. They separate, Fiona backing away and clutching at her nose.
Madd Morales jumps right back to his feet, but is caught by Samuel who flings him at the ropes and goes for a clothesline on the rebound. Madd ducks under the arm and slips behind Samuel, hitting him with a bicycle knee strike when he turns around!
Blight sits up, prying the cooking pan off of his face. He picks up the steel chair and walks over to Samael and Tuck. He watches as Samael chokes Tuck and slams him in the back of the head with the steel chair! He throws the chair out of the ring and helps Tuck up.
Gabriel Blight – You owe me now.
Tuck is about to respond when the ConquestTron lights up yet again with the countdown.
Eric Wilson – Next to enter the ring, weighing in at 265 pounds…he is Father Nathan O’Connell!
The lights around the arena go dark and a mist begins to form around the entryway and down the ramp. Nathan seems to materialize from the mist itself as he walks out and pauses, taking a look at the crowd and then makes his way at a steady pace to the Ring, climbing up into the ring. Once in the ring, he goes right over to Fiona’s side to check on her.
Samuel grunts as Madd continues to strike him without bringing him down. He reaches out and catches Madd by the shoulder and punches him in the gut a few times before casting him to the side. Trelisa narrows her eyes while watching Nathan and Fiona, but then ducks under a wild swing by Samuel. She leaps at him, aiming low for a spear to the right knee to take Samuel down. However, he catches her by the hair and lifts her up by the throat, choking her in the air.
Father Nathan nudges her daughter and motions to Samuel. Fiona nods and the two of them flank Samuel. Father Nathan picking up the strange glove that was on the mat. Fiona strikes first, but Samuel continues to choke Trelisa without regard to the strikes. Father Nathan punches Samuel a few times before Fiona strikes him in the nethers with a hard right hand. Samuel drops Trelisa, his face full of pain and rage.
Samuel Madison – Why, you little bitch!
Father Nathan uses the glove to snap his fingers, creating a spark that lights the glove on fire. Samuel’s attention flashes to the glove, fascinated by the fire. Father Nathan uses the flaming glove to hit a heart punch. As Samuel’s eyes roll up into the back of his head and he falls forward, Father Nathan hefts him up and over the ropes.
Eric Wilson – Samuel Madison has been eliminated!
Ben Price – And there goes the big man.
Eddie Vega – And there goes the most amazing weapon I’ve ever seen!
Father Nathan exginguishes the glove and tosses it from the ring. Right in time for Gabriel Blight to bowl him over with a shoulder charge. Fiona yells, but is punched in the side of the head by Gabriel Tuck. Samael Drago sits up in his corner, catching his breath and watching the scene unfold. Madd Morales and Trelisa Perrault get up and see that Samuel Madison is gone.
Fiona returns fire on Tuck, nearly leveling him with a punch, but just staggering him backwards a few steps. Madd catches Fiona from behind for a Red Rum-Z360 (otherwise known as a belly to back GTS). He hefts her up and starts working her over the ropes.
Blight stomps on Father Nathan, keeping him to the mat. Nathan starts to get up anyway, but Blight catches him by the shoulder and punches him in the gut a few times before throwing him down with a spinebuster. Madd nearly has Fiona out when he feels Trelisa behind him. He doesn’t stop what he’s doing, but Trelisa superkicks him in the back of the head! Fiona falls to the mat, safe from elimination. Madd starts to fall, but Trelisa catches him. She speaks to his ear while preparing to toss him out.
Trelisa Perrault – Long live the leader.
He is nearly out of the ring when Gabriel Tuck comes from behind and grabs Trelisa, sending her over the ropes and to the floor. Madd goes over the ropes, but falls to the ring apron. Tuck drags him inside the ring and pulls him to his feet.
Eric Wilson – Trelisa Perrault has been eliminated!
The ConquestTron comes back to light for the countdown.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 134 pounds…Twila Venin!
A hush falls. Darkness swallows the arena.
Suddenly, a white spotlight hits center stage, illuminating a child-sized carousel slowly spinning in place. Broken porcelain dolls are draped across the horses. A soft music box lullaby begins to play—but it’s warped, reversed, and layered with whispers you can almost understand.
From the speakers, a voice murmurs:
“She’s been good. She’s been quiet.
But good little girls don’t stay buried.”
The lights flicker. Blood-red strobe hits the stage.
A silhouette appears upside down, slowly descending from above like a spider—Twila Venin, suspended in a web of black silk, wearing a corseted bodysuit splashed with crimson smears, her face painted ghost-white with a smeared black smile and sharp eyes full of mischief and menace.
As she lands on the ramp, glitchy static hits the screen. Her Tron explodes into chaotic flashes: nursery scribbles, X-ray scans of a smiling skull, crime scene photos, burning roses, a carousel turning too fast, too fast, too fast—
TWILA VENIN
“The Daughter of Delightful Ruin”
The music drops—industrial horror trap, with eerie music box chimes buried under heavy bass and distorted laughter.
She crawls down the ramp—not walks, crawls, then suddenly skips, then twirls, dragging a heart-shaped war mallet behind her.
Smoke begins to curl up from the stage. Not pyro—mist. Thick, unnatural fog, curling around her limbs like vines of a toxic plant. The crowd doesn’t know whether to cheer or scream.
At the apron, she licks the turnbuckle, giggles, then somersaults into the ring like a demented ballerina.
She kneels at the center, looks directly into the camera, tilts her head…
And mouths the words:
“You called me.”
The lights flicker one final time.
The lullaby cuts out.
Her theme stops mid-beat.
The crowd is left in silence.
And then—
BOOM.
A burst of confetti and black petals erupt from the turnbuckles.
Literally, everyone in the ring has stopped fighting so that they can stare at Twila Venin in a mixture of curiosity and wonder. She picks up a kendo stick with a mad grin and begins swinging it at random. She strikes Fiona, Madd, Tuck, and Blight before the kendo stick shatters into pieces.
Madd seems spellstruck for a moment, watching chaos personified in the ring as Twila dances around everyone in the ring before landing a twisted cartwheel kick on Fiona! Blight and Father Nathan go back to brawling. Samael stands up where he he attacked by Tuck, who kicks him in the gut and does a quick Pedigree to drive Samael face-first to the mat. Fiona gets back to her feet and punches Twila a few times to back her up into, Madd, who hits a Cruxic Driver to send Twila to the mat.
Ben Price – There’s something off about Twila.
Eddie Vega – People are saying that she’s the daughter of the Joker and Harley Quinn.
Ben Price – Oh.
Eddie Vega – So, she is starting double mad.
Father Nathan gets a run of punches on Blight’s face like he was hitting a speed bag before slipping behind him and hitting a full nelson suplex! Tuck pulls Samael up, but Samael palm strikes the inside of Tucks right knee to bring him down to the mat. Samael stands up and kicks Tuck a few times in the gut. Madd stands up after putting Twila down to get turned and punched in the jaw. He sees Fiona before she nails him with a few more boxing strikes and takes him down with a belly-to-belly suplex!
Twila sits up and throws something into the air. It explodes, sending glitter to all the parts of the ring. Madd stands up, but is taken down by Twila with a crazy clown lariat! Fiona steps up to Twila and attempts to fight with her, but Twila grabs both of her wrists and delivers a barrage of headbutts in a move called the Concussion Carousel! She releases Fiona and hits a quick bodyslam to put her onto the mat. Father Nathan sees what’s going on and begins to make his way to help his daughter, but Blight grabs him and hits a Back Lifted Sitout Powerbomb! Samael starts to pull Tuck up to suplex him, but gets pulled down into a jawbreaker!
And the ConquestTron lights up once again to announce that another is soon to come.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 235 pounds…he is “the Paragon” Greg Salazar!
“Limits” covered by Cryptic Writings begins playing as Greg Salazar walks out from the back. He runs at an even pace to get down to the ring and slides under the ropes. He stands up and begins with Blight, the two exchanging punches before Greg hits a front snap kick and then a snap elbow to the side of the face to stun Blight so that he can throw him toward the ropes. He goes for a side thrust kick to the gut to send Blight over the ropes, but Blight catches the leg and drops an elbow to the side of the knee!
Ben Price – Ohhh the Trivalley Karate Tournament ref’s not going to like that.
Eddie Vega – Umm Karate Kid? Not real life.
Ben Price – Oh right. I forgot with Twila being here and all.
Eddie Vega – Understandable.
Tuck picks up a pair of brass knuckles while watching Fiona with a grin.
Gabriel Tuck – This is going to leave a mark, chickie.
Fiona O’Connell – Oh yea? Think that’ll level the playing field? Come on then.
Tuck draws his arm back to throw a punch, but then gets clocked with a kendo stick that shatters over his head. He drops to his knees, seeing Father Nathan throwing the broken handle away. He looks back to Fiona, who throws a punch to knock Tuck the rest of the way to the mat! Madd Morales picks up another kendo stick and walks over to Samael Drago to hit him, but Samael catches the stick and pulls it out of Madd’s hands so that he can swing it and strike Madd a few times before shattering the kendo stick over Madd’s head. Madd falls to the mat. Twila twirls around in the ring, no one really paying attention to her.
Twila sees Tuck starting to get up and begins approaching him slowly, seductively. She plants a fake kiss on his cheek, then bites him to draw blood, spins him violently, and crashes him back down to the mat with a neckbreaker. She sits up and licks the blood from her lips with a wink.
Twila Venin – First dates are always messy.
Ben Price – All that, activity, was called Dead Girl Kisses. All of it that Twila did.
Eddie Vega – Is she kicking his ass or flirting with him?
Father Nathan and Fiona look at Twila with curiosity. Father Nathan begins to advance on her, but Fiona holds him back.
Fiona O’Connell – I got this, da.
Father Nathan nods and attacks Blight, punching him with a hard right hand in the jaw hard enough that Blight nearly spins. Blight responds with a double axe handle blow. He then grabs and lifts Father Nathan as if for a pumphandle slam, but a spear from Greg Salazar takes them both down. Fiona punches Twila, but she just smiles through the pain. She hits a Madcap Legsweep that takes Fiona down and perches herself onto Fiona so she can begin to rain down punches until she’s drawn blood. She dips a finger into the blood as Fiona struggles to get free and draws an X on her own chest then stares into the hard cam and whispers:
Twila Venin – I picked my next friend. And they don’t even know it yet.
Samael Drago pulls Madd Morales up, getting him into a front face lock. This is a prelude to the Ode to the Unholy! Samael pulls the semi-conscious Madd up and dumps him over the top rope to the floor.
Eric Wilson – Madd Morales has been eliminated!
And it’s about then that the ConquestTron lights up to reveal the countdown for the next wrestler to come down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Eoin O’Rourke!
Lights dim in the arena as guitar rifts in the arena. Then as “Just Close Your Eyes” by Fivefold reaches a high point
“OH!”
A sole light shines on the stage with Eoin O’Rourke standing on the stage with his eyes closed, arms stretched wide and hands open
“Its a smoke and mirror’s. It’s a day in day out prison,
You’re living in, it’s smothering the power in you.”
Eoin opens his eyes and lowers his arms and begins marches down the ramp
“When the world’s out of control
And time is always racing
Everybody has a place
Where they can let it go”
Eoin makes it to ringside and he stands in front of the ring. He begins cracking his neck and hopping on the sides, then he dives into the ring and rolls to stand back up with his arms stretched again with a green spotlight over him. The music is cut off as Samael Drago welcomes him into the ring with a dropkick!
Ben Price – That was a fine hello to the Rumble.
Eddie Vega – If you’re going to act like the shit, get stepped on.
Gabriel Blight and Father Nathan get back to their feet. Greg Salazar grabs Blight and hits an Iron Fist, knocking him back to the mat. Father Nathan tosses Greg with a belly-to-belly suplex! Twila is still punching Fiona while perched on her, but Tuck walks over and pulls Twila off of her. He grabs her and hits a slingshot suplex. Fiona stands up and grabs Gabriel from behind for a sleeper hold!
Ben Price – Fiona with a bold move in the center of the ring. If Gabriel Tuck is asleep, he can’t fight off being thrown out.
Eddie Vega – Then, Duchess Lana will become the new leader of the nKo!
Ben Price – I guess she would be the last one not eliminated, yeah.
Eddie Vega – What would the nKo be like under the charge of her?
Samael Drago watches as Eoin O’Rourke gets right back up and attacks him with a hard right hand. Eoin deflects the punch and rakes Samael’s eyes, his fingers straying from the eyes to rip open wounds suffered earlier in the match to cause them to bleed again. Samael backs up a few steps, his hands to his eyes and face, but Eoin doesn’t let up. A running knee puts Samael to the mat!
Greg Salazar gets up as Father Nathan is pulling Gabriel Blight up and whipping him into the ropes. Greg follows with every intention of clotheslining them both out, but Blight side steps before he gets to the ropes. Greg clotheslines the back of Father Nathan and sends him over the top rope!
Eric Wilson – Father Nathan has been eliminated!
Fiona snaps her head in the direction of her father outside of the ring. Tuck takes this moment to step back and flip Fiona over his shoulder to the mat! It’s at this time that the ConquestTron lights up for a new countdown.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 200 pounds…she is Kara Reinhardt!
The lights dim and ‘Ich Tu Dir Weh’ by Rammstein plays over the PA as Kara makes her way out from the backstage area, pausing at the top of the entryway 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 Greg Salazar’s side where she begins brawling with Blight. Greg joins in on the action, making Gabriel Blight defend himself against two attackers.
Ben Price – The former Elite champion hitting the ring and going right to the current champion’s aid. I don’t know if I would be big enough to do that.
Eddie Vega – I know I wouldn’t be that big.
Eoin pulls Samael up and hammers him with a stiff headbutt, holding onto him so that he can do it several more times before dropping Samael in a vertical suplex!
Fiona gets back to her feet and looks to Gabriel Tuck to begin a fresh attack, but starts to turn when she hears Twila Venin behind her.
Twila Venin – “Hush little baby, don’t say a word…”
Spins violently with an elbow to the jaw, cradles their head lovingly mid-fall, then drops them in a DDT like she’s laying them to bed. Then strokes their hair. Giggling.
She doesn’t giggle for long as Gabriel Tuck runs over and kicks her in the face, sending blood and spittle splattering across the ring.
Ben Price – If I were Twila, I would think about curbing all of the extra talk and such.
Eddie Vega – The crowd is eating this shit up. I’m glad she isn’t you!
Greg and Kara continue to fight with Blight, but Kara takes the chance to grab the garbage can in the ring and puts it on top of Blight, trapping his arms within. She dropkicks the can, sending Blight to the ropes. However, Blight gets the can off of his body before he hits the ropes and springs back at Greg and Kara. A running shoulder block knocks Greg to the mat while grabbing Kara and hitting a powerslam!
Eoin pulls Samael back to his feet and grabs him as if for a power bomb, except Samael grabs Eoin’s legs and stands up with Eoin upside down on his back. Samael simply sits down, driving Eoin’s head into the mat! Fiona stands up while Gabriel Tuck is pulling up Twila. Fiona hits Twila with a huracanrana while Tuck stands back.
The ConquestTron lights up revealing the countdown toward who will be coming down to the ring next.
Eric Wilson – Coming down to the ring next, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is “Hard Edge” Maxwell Drake!
“Never Fade Away” by Samurai (Refused) begins playing as “Hard Edge” Maxwell Drake walks out from the back. He makes a beeline for the ring and slides in under the ropes and popping up to grab Greg from behind to hit a German suplex! Blight grabs Kara and hits the Katahajime Suplex!
Samael Drago pulls Eoin O’Rourke up and takes him down with a slingblade! He pulls him up again and whips him into the corner and walks over to begin lifting him to get him out of the ring. Fiona is up first, but Tuck is on her with a Wolf Strike (superman punch)! Fiona stands up as Tuck is working to get Twila up and out of the ring. She grabs Gabriel, spins him around, and lands a heart punch! Gabriel goes white, clutching at his chest as he falls to the mat! Twila starts to fall, but Fiona catches her and dumps her over the top rope!
Eric Wilson – Twila Venin has been eliminated!
The ConquestTron lights up for the next competitor to come down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 172 pounds…she is Karlie Nash!
“Knuckle Up” by Snowgoons begins playing as Karlie Nash runs from the back at top speed. She takes the distance between the back and the ring like she was running a hundred yard dash and slides into the ring popping up and grabbing Eoin O’Rourke to help Samael Drago get him out of the ring! Eoin kicks both of them in the face to get them to back up enough for him to land on his feet inside the ring, but it doesn’t help him long as Karlie hits him with a Game Misconduct (Glasgow Kiss Headbutt) to stun him and then throws him from the ring!
Eric Wilson – Eoin O’Rourke has been eliminated!
Ben Price – Karlie Nash coming down to make an impression!
Eddie Vega – I think she was successful in that!
Fiona goes to pull Tuck up to eliminate him when she notices that he is so much dead weight. Which could mean he’s been knocked out or…Fiona kneels down beside Gabriel to check for a pulse and then? She begins CPR!
Ben Price – What the heck? Why is she doing that?
Eddie Vega – She shouldn’t have tried the heart punch that her dad had mastered.
Ben Price – That makes sense. Wait, why are we not stopping the match to get him out?
Eddie Vega You think Von Krauss cares that someone might die in the ring? No.
Greg gets up and Maxwell goes to grab him, but Greg is there first with a Sniper Shot II that sends Maxwell bouncing to the mat! Kara gets to her feet and Blight kicked Kara in the gut, going for the gutwrench suplex! Kara punches Blight in the leg to get him to release her and szies him, getting him up into a press slam position with a roar. She completes the motions of the Gegenpress Slam by dropping Blight onto his face! Fiona is still performing CPR on Tuck, eventually Tuck starts to breathe again. She gets no time to celebrate as Karlie pulls her up off of the mat and hits a full nelson bulldog. Samael Drago pulls Tuck up with a laugh.
Samael Drago – It’s good you didn’t die, but it is time to go.
Samael took Tuck to the ropes and prepared to throw him over when Tuck manages to get a claw on Samael’s lower jaw in a move he calls the Wolf Bite! This stops Samael from sending him over the ropes and he drops to his knees in pain as Tuck holds the submission move on.
Ben Price – Gabriel Tuck lives to continue fighting!
Eddie Vega – Literally. Fiona saved his life.
Ben Price – After almost taking it, you mean.
Eddie Vega – Well, yeah.
Greg watches as Maxwell gets up and reaches for him, but Max slams him up side the head with the garbage can lid that’s in the ring. He brings it down on Greg’s head again, folding the lid in half before ripping it away and throwing it from the ring. Maxwell gets the busted open Greg up into the air in a suplex position and drops him in a brainbuster!
Kara pulls Blight up and sends him to the ropes, intending on following and sending him out of the ring, but Blight gets to the ropes faster than she intended and rebounds into a shoulder block that takes Kara off of her feet!
Karlie rubs Fiona’s face into the mat a little before bringing her face up and slamming it into the mat. She then pulls Fiona up and whips her into the corner and follows to hit an avalanche, but Fiona gets her knees up first for Karlie to impact against!
Gabriel Tuck releases the hold on Samael Drago and runs with him to the ropes on the opposite side to throw him out, but Samael trips Tuck and grabs him by the back of the head to fall with him and slam Tuck face first into the mat!
The ConquestTron lights up for the countdown, getting the crowd excited for whom might come out next!
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 180 pounds…he is “Sweet Baby” Ken Howard!
“Wouldn’t it Be Nice” by the Beach Boys begins playing as Ken Howard walks out from the back. He grins and poses for booing fans. He looks hurt at the boos and makes his way down to the ring, stepping into the ring to look around at the people paired off. He picks his target and goes on the attack, spinning Samael around and punching him in the wounds on his face! Samael reponds by hitting the Philoso-Knee (Short-Arm into Knee to the face)! Ken staggers back a few steps, a crack in the right cheek on his face, blood seeping through the wound. Samael seems to be limping a little, favoring the left knee that struck Ken in the face.
Ben Price – What’s going on here?
Eddie Vega – Ken Howard is a living Ken doll. His skin is plastic!
Ben Price – Oh my.
Eddie Vega – Exactly.
Gabriel Tuck gets up and grabs Maxwell Drake from behind for a full nelson. Greg Salazar gets up and grabs Gabriel Blight, hitting a Bass Drop (Cradle gord buster)! Kara Reinhardt gets back to her feet, sees Blight down and begins to kick him. Fiona hits a few punches on Karlie before spinning her around and hitting a backstabber!
Samael Drago hops up to grab Ken Howard for a huracanrana and grabs the ropes as he takes them both over. Samael skins the cat, taking himself back into the ring while Ken Howard hits the floor!
Eric Wilson – Ken Howard has been eliminated!
Gabriel Tuck drops Maxwell Drake in a full nelson suplex! Kara Reinhardt comes over and grabs Maxwell, sending him over the ropes with a Gegenpress Slam, roaring the whole time.
Eric Wilson – Maxwell Drake has been eliminated!
Gabriel Tuck picks up a steel chair and slams it across Kara’s back, sending her straight to the mat! Blight gets back to his feet, only for Greg to confront him.
Greg begins with a low cutting kick to the thigh, cutting kick to ribs, standing high kick to head, and then the spinning elbow. He finishes with the short arm pull into the spinning back fist! NO! Blight catches him by the wrist with a smile.
Gabriel Blight – Too slow, old man!
Blight gets him up into a suplex position and finishes the motions for Fallen Angel Drive (Emerald Flowsion Kai)!
Now is when the ConquestTron lights up to show that a new opponent will be coming down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 265 pounds…he is Retro Rob!
St Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion) by John Parr begins playing as Retro Rob walks out from the back. A few of the older fans begin applauding him, which brings the others around and soon, the crowd is thunderously cheering for the returning legend. His fierce expression seems to soften for just a moment before falling back into place. He heads down to the ring and steps in over the rpes. The first thing he does is gobsmacks Blight upside the head.
Ben Price – Retro Rob is really here? Wow!
Eddie Vega – And he is?
Ben Price – The first winner of the Wrestle Wars singles championship!
Eddie Vega – Oh man! Wrestle Wars was the shit!
Gabriel Tuck blasts Kara Reinhardt with the chair a second time as she is trying to get up from the firstimpact. Tuck goes for a third attack when the chair is plucked from his hands from behind. He turns around for Greg Salazar to break the chair over his head! Tuck slumps to the mat.
Fiona attacks the stunned Karlie with a hard right hand, sending her to the mat. She strides across the ring and attacks Samael, hitting him upside the head with another hard right hand. She goes for another, but Samael blocks it and hits a gut punch. He then grabs her and hits the Philoso-Knee! (Short-Arm into Knee to the face)!
Greg Salazar helps Kara Reinhardt to her feet. She looks around to see Gabriel Tuck lying on the mat, busted open from the last chair shot that Greg gave him. She hefts him up into a military press slam position and begins walking toward the ropes. Gabriel’s eyes snap open when he realizes the danger and he rolls, falling behind Kara and hitting a neckbreaker!
Retro Rob pounds Gabriel Blight a few times to get him to his knees and then runs a knee into his face to send him to the mat. He doesn’t get to celebrate for very long as Greg Salazar takes him down with a shoulder block!
Karlie Nash recovers and walks back over to the downed Fiona O’Connell, intending on attacking, but Samael Drago grabs her from behind and throws her from the ring with a German suplex!
Eric Wilson – Karlie Nash has been eliminated!
The ConquestTron lights up for the countdown again.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 220 pounds…she is “Apathy” Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke!
The sound of a vintage picture reel began to click and pop, the screen illuminating up counting down like a picture show. The pops, scratches, nicks and debris covered the screen, the numbers counting down, 5…4….3….2….1….as the reel continued, the faint familiar sound of a text message being composed. The tell tale sound of clicks followed by the sound of a message received. The demonic, distorted voice of SKYND creeps through “You’re gonna have to prove me wrong”. On the screen, a barrage of action shots, in still form from Apathy’s career, centered and fixated, like an old film would. As the arena went down, red and white lights bathing the fans in a sea of color, Elizabeth rises from beneath the stage, head lowered, arms outstretched. A mixed chorus of boos, jeers and cheers pelted at her. She gradually raises her head, soaking in the animosity and fervent support. Inhaling it like a drug
##I love you, now die
I love you, now die
I love you, now die
I love you, now##
As the heavy bass kicks in and the words of the chorus reverberate through the arena, she snaps her head up, a cocky self-assured smirk creeping across her lips as she saunters her way to the ring casually engaging towards the fans either encouraging more of their venomous verbal harassment or acknowledging the respect and adoration from her legions and devotees, basking in the glow
##Go, in your truck and drive in a parking lot
Do it early, do it now
Do it early, do it now
Go, just park and sit there in your car
It will take twenty minutes
It will take twenty minutes##
##Go, in your truck and drive in a parking lot
Do it early, do it now
Do it early, do it now
Go, just park and sit there in your car
It will take twenty minutes
It will take twenty minutes##
As the perverse and twisted sound of SKYND’s auto tuned verbal melody pulsates through the speakers, Elizabeth stops at the base of the walkway, and regards the inside of the ring for a moment before stepping through the ropes and attacking Gabriel Tuck! She hits the Guillotine’s Kiss (running at a charge, jumping and kicking him in the face)!
Ben Price – Eoin and Apathy were supposed to put Gabriel Tuck and perhaps Trelisa Perrault on the shelf during the tag team tournament. This is her second chance!
Eddie Vega – Perrault is nowhere around to help.
Fiona gets back to her feet, ducks under a running clothesline from Samael. She turns to see that Samael had stopped and is coming back, hits him with a superkick to the mouth that sends Samael to the mat.
Gabriel gets to his hands and knees on his way to get to his feet, but Apathy drops a leg across the back of his neck to send him back to the mat!
Gabriel Blight gets up to his feet, but Kara Reinhardt grabs him and hits the Reich Breaker (Rock Bottom)!
Greg Salazar pulls Retor Rob up and whips him into the ropes. He kicks Rob in the gut on the rebound and goes for the Ring Toss (cradle half nelson suplex), but Rob blocks the move and slams Greg with a massive headbutt before tossing him into the turnbuckles with a belly-to-belly suplex!
Samael Drago rolls out of the ring and lies on the floor unnoticed. Gabriel Tuck gets up, but is peppered by lefts and rights from Apathy. He goes on the defensive, blocking and deflecting punches, backing up to the ropes.
Fiona O’Connell glances around to see where Samael has gone, but shrugs. She runs and knocks Kara down with a dropkick! Gabriel Blight gets up to his feet and looks around. He grabs Greg Salazar from behind and spins him around so that he can hit the Death Valley Driver. He stands up and looks down at Greg.
Gabriel Blight – Stay down, old man.
Ben Price – That seems like a command that I would obey.
Eddie Vega – Well, can’t be eliminated from the mat.
Retro Rob grabs Blight from behind and hits a running bulldog!
The ConquestTron lights up again to reveal who will come down to thering next!
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 235 pounds…she is Aubrey Creighton!
Those lights in the venue dim, only illuminating the entrance and outlining multiple shadows. Aubrey does a bit of shadow boxing before as the opening beat drops.
I don’t know why mans calling me family all of a sudden
Like hmm, my mum don’t know your mum
Stop telling mans you’re my cousin!
I got day ones and I got new ones
No fake ones, trust no one!
It’s Boy Better Know ‘till I die
Tryin ta run up in the bank like Bonnie and Clyde
Cause man get money with the gang
Man get girls with the gang
Man eat food with the gang
Man talk slang to the feds
Can’t work out what I just said to a man
Told me you was a big fan but the first thing you said when you saw me is “Can I get a pic for the gram?”
I was like “Nah, sorry man”
I only socialize with the crew and the gang
Aubrey’s walk out is less wrestling and more boxing main event. The whole crew from the block serves as the entourage. Dudes in black jumpers and hoodies wearing gun holster bags marching with him in unison.
Aubrey’s walk is focused, no interaction with the fans, punching air on the way down. The crew stops outside the ring. They take off Aubrey’s chains, mask, and bullet proof vest. He leaps onto the apron and climbs over the rope. Before he picks a target, he punches a turnbuckle pad hard enough to split it open!
Ben Price – That’s some punch!
Eddie Vega – Also, now there’s a split open top turnbuckle to mash a face into.
Aubrey picks his target with a smile and charges at Retro Rob, who sees him with his eyes open wide. He hits a back drop right quick that sends Aubrey from the ring!
Eric Wilson – Aubrey Creighton has been eliminated!
Ben Price – The fierce boxer is in and out. Pity.
Eddie Vega – Sometimes a charge is good, but often it is not.
Apathy scores an uppercut on Tuck, spinning him around so she can hit a Bridging Suplex into Pumphandle Slam! She drags him to his feet and begins working him over the ropes, but Tuck catches her in the throat with an elbow and begins to back her up from the ropes with several right hands.
Fiona O’Connell attacks Gabriel Blight with some boxing strikes before turning round and knocking the warrior down with a pele kick! She then watches as Blight slowly gets up and grabs him, hitting a Celtic Spike DDT (Mickie James style jumping, implant DDT)!
Kara Reinhardt gets up to her feet and starts helping Greg Salazar up, but gets caught by Retro Rob, who puts Kara down with an All I Got (violent looking double arm ddt)! He pulls Kara up and runs her to the ropes, but a back elbow from Kara stops their progression. She hits three German suplexes in a row in a combo that she calls Eins, Zwei, Drei!
Ben Price – Retro Rob almost thrown from the ring right there!
Eddie Vega – Tuck almost out.
Ben Price – I wonder if Apathy will really go for elimination or injury.
Eddie Vega – I’d go for injury.
Greg Salazar looks around the ring with a frown, but starts listening to the crowd. He rolls out of the ring and grabs the hidden Samael Drago! He hits a ridge hand strike to the side of Samael’s neck and presses him against the side of the ring so he can hit several knee lifts and rolls Samael back into the ring, following. Samael Drago gets up and reaches for Greg, who hits a picture perfect Scorpion Kick! Samael drops to his knees and then onto his face!
The ConquestTron lights up to show the countdown.
Eric Wilson – The next person to come down to the ring, weighing in at 135 pounds…she is Duchess Lana Hill!
“Shot to Thrill” by AC/DC begins playing as Duchess Hill walks out from the back alone. She heads down to the ring and steps through the ropes. She looks around calmly before grabbing Apathy from behind as if for a German suplex! A back elbow disrupts those plans and Apathy hauls up the smaller woman and throws her from the ring!
Ben Price – The Duchess in and the Duchess out!
Eddie Vega – That’s crazy fast.
Eric Wilson – Duchess Lana Hill has been eliminated!
Ben Price – And you know what this means?
Eddie Vega – That only one member of the nKo remains in the ring?
Ben Price – and he has become leader of the nKo!
Eddie Vega – Oh right! Long live the King!
Gabriel sees that Apathy is distracted from eliminating Lana and goes for a superkick, but Apathy catches the foot and pulls Tuck into an overhead belly-to-belly suplex that sends Tuck over the ropes and to the floor!
Ben Price – He got arrogant and paid the price!
Eddie Vega – He still wins the nKo though so he’s done something tonight.
Eric Wilson – Gabriel Tuck has been eliminated!
Fiona watches as Gaberiel Blight gets up and goes on the attack again, but Blight counters with a quick uppercut and grabs Fiona up as if to do a bodyslam and throws her from the ring in a fallaway slam!
Eric Wilson – Fiona O’Connell has been eliminated!
Ben Price – They’re dropping like flies right now!
Eddie Vega – Fiona has been in this match a good long while.
Kara Reinhardt pulls Retro Rob up to his feet and begins running him to the ropes to throw him out. Rob tries to move to not be eliminated, but Greg pulls down the top rope! Retro Rob sails over the top rope!
Eric Wilson – Retro Rob has been eliminated!
Ben Price – Another one down, another one down.
Eddie Vega – Another one bites the dust!
Samuel Drago climbs to the top rope in a move that drives the crowd crazy from the risk of it all. He leaps through the air, hitting a Phoenix splash on Kara and Greg in a move that he calls the Dragon-Bite!
Apathy grabs Gabriel Blight and brings him down with a lungblower! She pulls him up and looks to the ropes, but Blight connects with a quick headbutt that seems to have a greater effect on her. She hits her knees and then falls to the mat as Blight moves on to other opponents like kicking Kara in the ribcage!
The ConquestTron lights up to reveal who is to come down to the ring next.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 325 pounds…he is Abel!
“Cold as Ice” by Foreigner begins playing as Abel walks out from the back to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and steps into the ring.
Ben Price – I know there’s face paint and all, but this is ridiculous! Abel has changed from the masked man that he used to be.
Eddie Vega – Kind of reminds me of a Frost Giant.
Abel pulls up Greg Salazar and hits a short-arm clothesline. He gets Greg up into a press slam position and walks over to the ropes. He looks ready to throw, but Greg rolls off of him and falls behind Abel, grabbing him and sending him over the top rope!
Eric Wilson – Abel has been eliminated!
Ben Price – I gues that makes Greg Salazar as Thor!
Eddie Vega – I guess it does.
Samael Drago gets up and watches as Kara Reinhardt gets up, the two clash for a moment before Samael turns a Side headlock into a rear naked chokehold!
Gabriel Blight looks around the ring before he settles on sights of Greg Salazar and begins to advance on him. Greg sees Blight and sighs with determination as the two begin brawling and deflecting/blocking each others punches. Blight absorbs a blow to the side of the head so that he can grab Greg and hit a spinebuster!
The ConquestTron lights up with the countdown, driving the crowd into a frenzy as they wonder who will come down to the ring next!
Eric Wilson – Coming down to the ring next, weighing in at 155 pounds…she is Dixie Clement!
As the buzzer goes off and the next competitor is announced, The crowd comes to their feet as Dixie’s voice comes over the PA: “Sorry! About your damn luck!” and ‘Make My Country Rock’ by Cory Marks, ft Sully Erna from Godsmack and Travis Tritt plays over the PA.
Dixie Clement walks out from the back, taking a big drink from her bottle of budweiser and tosses the bottle aside, taking her hat off and playing to the crowd before she points at the ring and charges full speed, sliding into the ring and coming up throwing punches against Apathy! They brawl back and forth until Dixie can get in a kick to the gut and a DDT to plant Apathy to the mat!
Ben Price – She came in a’fightin’.
Eddie Vega – Quit, your redneck is showing.
Ben Price – Oh no.
Eddie Vega – Oh, you do have a sunburn on your neck do ya? Does it hurt whn I do thi-
Ben Price – Ouch, quit it!
Eddie Vega – Heh heh.

Apathy gets up and delivers several knife edge chops to Dixie, who absorbs the punishment and returns the favor…only with a hard right hand. Apathy deflects the punch and delivers a hard right hand of her own. She grabs Dixie by the arm and takes her down with a short-arm clothesline!
Ben Price – Elizabeth no stranger to fighting with her fists.
Eddie Vega – She should be an expert with some of the husbands that she’s had in her life.
Samael Drago climbs to the top rope as he’s not under any current attack and raises his arms to the heavens as he surveys the scene below him. He leaps through the air and lands a Dragonslayer (Top Rope Moonsault dive into an elbow drop), striking Apathy in the side of the head to take her down! The crowd goes wild at such a stunt!
Gabriel Blight pulls Greg Salazar and grabs him in the set up of a belly-to-belly suplex, gets his back to the ropes, and tosses Greg Salazar out! However, Greg grabs hold of the top rope. He twists as he uses the rope as a balance bar and slams both knees into the small of Blights back!
Dixie Clement walks over to the staggering Blight and puts him into a full nelson, quickly changing gears into a full nelson facebuster! Salazar gets up but is kicked in the gut and sent to the mat with a bulldog!
Dixe gets up, but is caught by Apathy, who hits a double-underhook backbreaker!
Ben Price – Dixie still making waves, but not everything is coming up flowers!
Eddie Vega – You mean her luck has run out.
Ben Price – Well, yes.
Eddie Vega – Then say it like that instead of coming up with weird sayings.
The ConquestTron lights up to reveal the countdown.
Eric Wilson – The next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 237 pounds…he is Lance Dewlock!
“Hit Me Baby (one more time)” by Britney Spears begins playing as Lance Dewlock walks out from the back. He poses for the fans, but gets a mixed “who the heck are you” reaction. He walks down to the ring and steps through the ropes.
Ben Price – I think this is the first time that Lance has seen the tv lights.
Eddie Vega – Might be the last time if he doesn’t do something.
Indeed, Lance has stalled upon arrival, watching the others, but not getting involved.
Samael Drago, who had been resting in a corner, decides to put Lance to the test. He grabs the young man and whips him into the melee. Dixie Clement gets up and sees the panicking Lance coming straight for her. She hits a hip toss, sending him from the ring.
Eric Wilson – Lance Dewlock has been eliminated!
Gabriel Blight gets up and heads straight for Dixie Clement, spinning her around and clubbing her with a double axehandle. He whips her to the ropes, hitting a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on the rebound! Greg Salazar gets to his feet and begins the motions of the Mosh Pit technique. He begins with a low cutting kick to the thigh, a cutting kick to the ribs standing high kick to the side of the head, and spinning elbow to the side of the head. He lets Gabriel stumble back a step or two before pulling him in for the short arm spinning back fist! Gabriel is laid out in the ring!
Apathy attacks Samael, drilling him with several European uppercuts before sliding behind him and hitting German suplex after German suplex, stopping at six.
Ben Price – The Butterfly Effect in full swing!
Eddie Vega – I wonder if Samael will be elminated soon?
Greg Salazar grabs Dixie Clement for a Ring Toss (cradle half nelson suplex), aiming to send her over the top rope, but she doesn’t go nearly as far as intended, landing on her feet behind Salazar. She connects with a buzzsaw kick that crumples Greg to the mat.
Gabriel Blight gets to his feet and goes after Dixie, sending her to the mat with a clothesline! She is back up pretty quickly and Gabriel whips her to the ropes, aiming for a powerslam on the rebound. Dixie hits a running knee instead, taking Gabriel down.

Ben Price – Samael powering back. He’s got to be dead tired by now.
Eddie Vega – He’s taken a lot of breaks throughout.
The ConquestTron lights up again with the countdown, making people wonder who would be next to come down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 165 pounds…she is Zolothach!
“Cthulhu” by Gunship begins playing as “Zolothach” Tabitha Osborne walks out from the back. She looks around at the mixed reaction leaning toward cheering from the crowd awkwardly before heading down to the ring. She slides in under the ropes, jumps up to her feet and begins attacking Dixie Clement! She hammers Dixie with a few right hands before dropping her with an ax kick!
Ben Price – Zolothach in late to the party. This will prove to be an advantage.
Eddie Vega – No doubt.
Samael Drago watches as Apathy is slowly getting back up and goes for a spinning wheel kick. Apathy ducks back from the kick and grabs Samael from behind for a full nelson that she quickly turns into a suplex!
Gabriel Blight gets up and begins to look for Dixie, but finds Greg Salazar istead. He hits an Atomic Drop on Greg before putting him to the mat with a pumphandle slam!
Dixie Clement gets back to her feet and puts a shoulder to Apathy’s midsection before lifting her up and hits a scoop slam! Dixie gets in a few kicks before Apathy rolls back to her feet. Apathy goes for a return strike, but Dixie blocks it and hits a headbutt hard enough to lay Apathy out!
Ben Price – Boy, that Dixie must have a hard head!
Eddie Vega – And I think Apathy might be vulnerable to head strikes.
Ben Price – Oh right.
Eddie Vega – Yeah.
Samael Drago gets up to see that Apathy is down and instead, moves on Dixie. He grabs her from a blind spot and hits a tiger suplex! He stands up and kicks Dixie in the face before stomping on the downed Apathy to make sure that she doesn’t get up. Dixie stands up, wiping blood from her mouth with the back of her hand. She kicks Samael in the gut to drop him to a knee and then hits a shining wizard to put him to the mat!
Zolothach hits a palm strike to the side of Blight’s head, stunning him so that she can begin the motion of a bear hug, but then she also wraps her legs around him. As a final insult, she sinks her teeth into Blight’s left arm that draws a cry of pain from Blight!
Greg Salazar gets to his feet and steps up to Dixie Clement, hitting a snap elbow to the side of the head. Dixie Clement responds with one of her own and goes to the ropes right quick, coming back and hitting a tilt-a-whirl crossbody!
The ConquestTron lights up and reveals the countdown before the next person is to come down to the ring.
Eric Wilson – Next to come down to the ring, weighing in at 375 pounds…he is Tarrasque!
“Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva begins playing as Tarrasque walks out from the back. He roars to the crowd, getting cheers in response. He flexes his muscles with another roar and runs down to the ring. He steps over the ropes, practically salivating at the fight to come.
Tarrasque grabs the rising Samael Drago into a press slam position. He walks toward the ropes, intent on throwing Samael out when Samael rocks and rolls off of the beast and lands behind him. He staggers Tarrasque with a dropkick, sending him toward the ropes. He hits another dropkick. The goal being to kick Tarrasque from the ring. However, before Samael can jump into the air again, Tarrasque reaches out and seizes him by the throat. He lifts the Moonchild up into the air and lands a chokeslam!
Ben Price – And there is the power of the 4WW Maelstrom champion!
Eddie Vega – Isn’t he still champion because he hasn’t defended it in a long time?
Ben Price – Maybe.
Eddie Vega – Ha! He should be happy no one has taken the title off of him.
Gabriel Blight tries to break free of Zolothach’s grasp, but finds that he cannot do that, his arms pinned down to his side. He headbutts her over and over to try to get her to at least stop biting his arm. That works as Zolothach pulls her head away from his arm, he sees that her mouth is covered in blood from the bite.
Tabitha Osborne – This is where I explode and leave you dead in a crater…
Ben Price – Is that a Dragon Ball Z reference of when Yamcha was killed by the little green guys?
Eddie Vega – I don’t know since I don’t watch cartoons.
Gabriel runs toward a corner, avalanching Tabitha into it to get her to release him. He batters her with punches, but she just grins. An overhead belly-to-belly suplex sends her flying toward the center of the ring!
Apathy gets back to her feet, watching as Greg Salazar slowly gets to his feet. She wraps her arms around him, but he comes back with a headbutt that disrupts her plans. She staggers back and Greg hits a forward thrust kick to put Apathy back to the mat!
Dixie Clement attacks Gabriel Blight with a discus elbow to the mouth. She follows that with a Northern Lights Suplex!
Samael Drago lies on the mat, likely wishing that the match was already over, but sitting up regardless. He sees that Tarrasque hasn’t left his side and mumbles something that the mic doesn’t pick up. Tarrasque leans down and hefts Samael up again. This time, he hurls Samael directly at Greg Salazar, knocking the both of them down!
Gabriel Blight rolls to his feet. He grabs Dixie and hits an inverted atomic drop! He follows this up with a Russian Legsweep, putting Dixie to the mat!
Apathy gets up, clutching at her head in pain as blood trickles out from her nose. She looks around to see that Greg Salazar is on the ground so she kicks him in the side of the face to send blood and spittle splattering across the mat!
Tabitha gets up to her feet and sees Tarrasque. She nods to him and he nods back. She sees Apathy kicking Greg and joins in on the fun, kicking Greg in the ribs.
Apathy – Zolo!
Tabitha Osborne – In the flesh!
Ben Price – I’m guessing that they know one another.
Eddie Vega – A past history of working together. I think that Apathy, Zolothach, and Aurora Deadwood worked a minor fed once.
The ConquestTron lights up with a countdown and once it runs out a graphic that says “Final Entrant” comes on the screen.
Eric Wilson – The final entrant to come down to the ring, weighing in at 140 pounds…she is Wicked Kat Hale!
The lights begin flashing green, blue, and red as the initial jingle of “Nemo” by Nightiwsh starts. Kat delays hitting the stage for those initial seven seconds.
She comes out wearing a black leather jacket that stops at her mid-drift, and she comes out with high energy. Throwing up the rock and roll devil horns a few times. Before moving to either side of the stage to engage with the crowd. Pointing towards them and then starting to make her way down to the ring. She’ll continue interacting with fans near the ramp. High-fiving and occasionally pausing to throw up devil horns with other members of the audience.
She gets to the ring and steps through the ropes. She ducks as Dixie Clement comes at her with a discus clothesline and pops back up with a slap! Dixie opens her mouth, angry and stunned. This gives Kat the chance to put her to the mat with a hook kick!
Samael Drago and Greg Salazar get up. Samael moving a bit quicker than Greg so that he can get off a Gastrizein (Drago pulls both his hands back as if he is about to perform a Hadouken, then releases the pressure into a Pankration style powerful front heel kick to the stomach), knocking Greg back down to the mat.
Gabriel Blight looks around the ring and finds Apathy. He kicks her in the gut and begins slamming her with double axe handle attacks until she is on the mat! He pulls her back up and hits a straightjacket suplex!
Dixie Clement gets right back to her feet and delivers several knife edge chops to Kat Hale before whipping her into the ropes and hitting a tilt-a-whiel slam on the rebound. She stomps on Kat a few times before pulling her up and going for the discus forearm! However, Tabitha grabs Dixie from behind and hits a gutbuster drop!
Tarrasque advances upon Samael Drago, who punches the beast a few times while getting nothing back but a smile. Tarrasque takes Samael up in a bear hug, shaking him violently side to side! It’s a move that he calls Shaken!
Ben Price – Samael going to have whiplash from that move!
Eddie Vega – Lords knows what he might do next…
Tarrasque throws Samael to the mat and gets down on one knee by his hips. He roars to the crowd, who roar back in knowing what’s about to happen next. Tarrasque grabs Samael by the boy parts, twists, and lifts. Samael screams a high pitched scream and begins to tap out, despite knowing that’s not how you lose the match.
Ben Price – That?
Eddie Vega – That. On the plus side, after this match Samael might be able to go for the women’s title.
Gabriel Blight grabs Apathy up into a power bomb position, hgih in the air. He walks over to the ropes and power bombs Apathy over the top rope where she nearly bounces off of the ring apron and hits the floor!

Greg Salazar gets back to his feet and grabs Tabitha, lifting her into the air as if to do an atomic drop, but sets her over the top rope and onto the ring apron. Tabitha spins around as if hopeful that she can get back ito the ring, but is superkicked off of the apron to the floor.
Eric Wilson – Zolothach has been eliminated!
Dixie Clement grabs Kat Hale and goes for her own power bomb, but Kat blocks the move by putting a claw on the back of each of Dixie’s knees. She puts the pressure on the cowgirl until the move is released.
Samael Drago is screaming in pain, trying to get released from Tarrasque’s Rise of the Feminine Side vice-grip on his nuts. Eventually, Samael manages to sit up and return the favor by grabbing Tarrasque by his boy parts. It doesn’t take long for Tarrasque to release Samael and Samael releases Tarrasque in horror.
Ben Price – I thought Tarrasque was a shower, but it seems he’s a grower.
Eddie Vega – Who knew he would be turned on by having his boys squished?
Gabriel Blight clotheslines the back of Greg Salazar’s neck, sending him down to the mat. He pulls Salazar up into a power bomb position and starts walking toward the ropes, but Greg starts punching him in the face to stun Gabriel so that he can hits a huricanrana!
Kat Hale hits a jumping uppercut as she gets to her feet, grabbing Dixie, and whipping her toward the ropes. Kat follows, hot on her heels, looking for a clothesline to send Dixie over the ropes. As Kat hits the clothesline, Dixie grabs onto her with both arms. Both go over the top rope to the floor where they begin brawling again until security break them apart!
Eric Wilson – Kat Hale and Dixie Clement have been eliminated!
Before Samael can get up, Tarrasque kicks him in the chest and straddles his midsection so that he can lay into Samael with punches. Samael raises his hand as if to stop Tarrasque’s punches, but gives the camera a thumbs up message? The ConquestTron lights up to reveal a destroyed dressing room with Viktor Kriegson holding up the bloodied form of Marcus Anderson in a sleeper hold.
Viktor Kriegson – Tarrasque…we have the man who is like your brother.
Tarrasque gets off of Samael as he sees the video and he leaps over the top rope to the floor and starts running for the back. Samael, also bloody, drags himself to a corner where he rests on the bottom turnbuckle.
Ben Price – That was low.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, but it worked.
Eric Wilson – Tarrasque has been eliminated!
Gabriel Blight starts to get up, but is pulled to his feet by Greg Salazar. Greg goes to German suplex Blight out of the ring, but catches a back elbow to the mouth instead. Gabriel turns around, grabs Greg up as if for a body slam and sends him over the ropes to the floor!
Eric Wilson – Greg Salazar has been eliminated!
Ben Price – And then there was two.
Eddie Vega – And one of them is laying out on the mat.
Gabriel Blight pulls Samael up and goes for the Fallen Angel Drive, but Samael falls behind him and land on his feet. He grabs Gabriel in a German suplex, turns around, and throws Gabriel Blight from the ring! Samael Drago falls to his knees, lifting his arms into the air!
Eric Wilson – Gabriel Blight has been eliminated! Winner of the match and going on at Tribal Warfare to face the Conquest champion for the title…Samael Drago!
The crowd give a fierce reaction, mostly boos, but some cheers to the winner of the first ever Lunar Rumble!
Eddie Vega – He did it! #1 to end… how the hell did he do that?
Ben Price – Did you have any money running on him?
Eddie Vega – Why would I? He was coming in at #1. Why would I think he’d make it all the way through!
Ben Price – Well we now know who will challenge for the Conquest Championship at Tribal Warfare… He didn’t win the best of 3 series with Kronin Reinhardt. But he sure as hell just won the rumble.
Eddie Vega – The CWF’s power just shifted in a big way. Drago made waves when he came in, and keeps making waves. But not a lot of time to celebrate tonight. I’m sure they’ll have something for him backstage to post on social media. But right now… we need to get to the match to see who he’ll be fighting at Tribal Warfare.
Match 4 – CWF Conquest Championship – Kronin Reinhardt – vs Abigail Dresden (C)
Ben Price – Main event time. Kronin has gone through three matches of hell to get here. Now, the longest reigning Conquest Champion is also the first former Conquest Champion to earn an immediate rematch. In his way, 18 year old phenom Abigail Dresden who is starting to remind me more of her mother in her younger years. Her press conference was not..
Eddie Vega – Whoa, wait.. Abigail finally tells people what she really thinks and now you’re jumping off the bandwagon?! I think it’s about time someone called Kronin out on his bullshit!
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is the main event of the evening. It is set for one fall and it is for the CWF Conquest Championship! Introducing first, the challenger! Hailing from Dresden, Germany. He stands 6 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs in at 275lbs. He is a member of Bad Company, the German Suplex Machine, Kronin Reinhardt!!
Silence falls over the arena as the lights dim and ‘Sonne’ by Rammstein plays over the PA. Kronin walks out from the back and pauses at the top of the entryway, giving the crowd time to notice who it is and react as he surveys the crowd briefly before his gaze falls on the ring and he nods once before making his way to the ring with a measured, deliberate pace as he easily steps up onto the ring apron and over the ropes with minimum effort
Ben Price – Here he is. The challenger. If one thing Abigail said in her press conference is true, it’s the fact that Kronin can not possibly be 100% for this match. But she said Kronin wasn’t risking anything in this match. I think that is dead wrong. For Kronin to go through hell and fail to beat Abigail Dresden a second time?
Eddie Vega – With luck it will be the end of Kronin!
Eric Wilson – And introducing his opponent. She comes to us tonight from Swansea, Wales. She stands 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs in at 175lbs. She is a member of the Upstarts and she is the reigning and defending CWF Conquest Champion. Abigail Dresden!!!
The arena darkens and a mist begins to form around as ‘Awen’ by Eluveitie plays over the PA. Abigail comes out of the mist, sporting a black leather Jacket she walks up and looks out at the crowd closing her eyes as extends her arms out at her sides, feeding off of the cheers and reactions, pausing for a moment as for the first time she hears some boos mixed in. Taking in a deep breath before kicking her leg up and bringing it down Rhea Ripley style, following this up with a couple of small jumps up and down before making her way down the rampway and she makes her way down to the ring jumping onto the ring apron and using the ropes to slingshot herself over the ropes and raises her fist in the air as she goes to her corner and warms up for the coming fight.
Ben Price – Apparently I’m not the only one put off by her temper tantrum at the press conference.
Eddie Vega – Bah! I’ve said for awhile Abby needed to channel more of her parents, she’s done that.
Ben Price – Now there’s just the fact that she’s pissed off a man who is exactly 100lbs heavier than she is and can throw her around like a sack of potatoes.
Eddie Vega – If his slow, clumsy ass can catch her.
In the ring, Abigail takes her title belt off and tauntingly holds it up to Kronin
Abigail Dresden – Close as you’re gonna get.
Kronin, for his part, smirks.
Kronin Reinhardt – Okay, Valora Jr. I handled your mother. I’ll handle you..
Kronin cuts himself off and smirks, winking at her, Ashley Beaton steps in between the fighters.
Ashley Beaton – Save it for the fight!
Abby hands the belt to Ashley Beaton who holds it up and both fighters retreat a bit, preparing for the fight.
Ben Price – Was that really needed? Kronin is an ally and the blatant disrespect.
Eddie Vega – He’s not an ally for this match! These two are fighting to be the top champion in our company! The face of our company! I want an honest to god fight!
Ashley Beaton calls for the bell
DING!! DING!!
The moment the bell rings Abby moves forward and kicks Kronin on the side of his knee, hitting the sciatic nerve. She repeats this three more times before grabbing the leg and bringing Kronin to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip, Kronin clutching at his knee. Abby meanwhile, wastes no time and races to the ropes, rebounding off the ropes and charges towards Kronin, hitting him with a dropkick to the back of the head, folding the man in half and pausing to play to the crowd which showers her with a mixed reaction of a lot of cheers but with some audible booing thrown in which causes Abby to shake her head, muttering to herself.
Eric Price – We’ve seen Abby every so often play to the fans, but this is the earliest I can remember her doing so
Eddie Vega – Going to just bypass that awesome opening series and tactic of trying to target Kronin’s vertical base?
Abby takes a few moments and then runs to the ropes, rebounding off. As she takes the time to play to the crowd, Kronin shakes his head to clear the cobwebs and pushes himself to get him to his feet and watches as Abby reaches the ropes near him and springboards off the ropes, but whatever move she was aiming for is up in the air as Kronin catches her and counters with an overhead belly to back suplex, but is unable to immediately follow up as he reaches down and grabs his knee, but then forces himself to move over to Abby and jumps into the air and Abby rolls out of the way, resulting in Kronin hitting nothing but mat. Both fighters get to their feet and Kronin cuts off Abby with a boot to the gut and then sends her into the ropes with an Irish whip. As Kronin tries for his follow up move, Abby moves into the move, jumping up onto Kronin’s shoulders before spinning around and bringing Kronin to the mat with an arm drag into a roll up as she reaches behind her and hooks Kronin’s legs. Ashley Beaton slides in to make a count.
…One!
Ben Price – Kronin kicks out! Abigail tried to take a page from her mother’s play book and tried the lucha libre style offense but Kronin had it scouted and tossed her to the mat with ease. But even with that, she was able to dodge the elbow drop from Kronin and then followed it up with a counter of her own, I suppose North American audiences would call it Lucha Libre inspired, but to me, it almost looked like something you would see in Japanese wrestling which would indicate that Abigail and Tetsu Oni IV aren’t kidding when they say they’re working and training. I mean, she effortlessly jumps up onto Kronin’s shoulders and in one fluid motion, spins and hops off, transitions into an armdrag and from there into a roll up.
Eddie Vega – and to me, this is what makes Abigail really scary. She has it all. The technical ability of her father, the speed and agility of her mother and the strength and power of someone like Kara or similar power game fighters. I mean the only weakness I see is she has so many ways to beat people it must be hard to pick how to do it!
Ben Price – She has more weaknesses than that, one of which she showed in that press conference when she lost her temper. Go back over their fights, Kronin has beaten Valora more than once by baiting her into losing her temper and taking advantage. Abby has talent but not the age or experience to avoid a trap like that.
Eddie Vega – Man, you are a fickle bitch aren’t you?
Abby jumps to her feet and shakes her head. Kronin starts to try and get up and says something to Abby that stops her pacing dead and her head snaps to look at Kronin as she clenches her fist and kicks Kronin in the face, knocking him back to the mat and stomps her right foot on the mat twice as she focuses on Kronin and, as he pushes himself up to a knee, Abby fires a kick which Kronin ducks but Abby keeps her momentum and spins around and hits Kronin in the head, once more sending him back to the mat and Abby stands over him, yelling back at him
Abigail Dresden – Talk now! Whatcha got to say now?!
Abby grabs Kronin’s legs and looks Ashley Beaton right in the eyes as she stomps on Kronin’s groin
Ben Price – Come on! A blatant low blow!
Eddie Vega – Smart! If she gets DQ’d she keeps the belt! She’s finally learning!
Ashley Beaton – Careful Dresden! I will DQ you!
Abby responds by looking at Beaton and putting her hands up, backing off for the moment, shaking her head
By the time she finishes her argument and turns back to Kronin, she sees the man has pulled himself up to his feet and he charges and tries for a spear like tackle but Abby manages to hurdle him, both fighters hit the ropes on opposite ends of the ring and rebound and run towards each other, Kronin tries for a clothesline, Abby ducks and tries a pele kick as she comes up to her feet, but Kronin pivots on his foot and spins to avoid the attempt, grabbing Abby as she gets back to her feet and tries for a high angle backdrop but Abby flips back and lands on her feet only to be hit by Kronin’s back kick. Kronin turns and grabs her, picking her up for a vertical suplex, giving a show of strength as he holds her up with one arm before planting her with a vertical suplex hard enough that Abby arches her back, writhing on the mat.
Ben Price – Well, if you wanted to know why these two are fighting for the top title in our sport, that’s why right there. A beautiful exchange there but Kronin’s experience gave him the edge there
Eddie Vega – What about that raw athletic talent? Maybe you missed Abby jumping, with no running start, and hurdling clear over a man the size of a small car? Did you perhaps miss her rolling under a clothesline and coming up into a pele kick? Yes Kronin has experience on his size but Abigail has scary raw natural athletic ability. I’ll say it. She might actually be a better athlete than Valora was at the same age.
In the ring, Kronin pulls Abby to her feet, honing in on the back as he uses a short arm pull to draw Abby in and lifts her up and plants her on the mat with a spinebuster. Kronin tries for a sharpshooter but Abby counters by kicking Kronin in the knees and kipping up, trying for a jawbreaker which stuns Kronin for a second. Abby then rebounds off the ropes and hits Kronin spinning around a few times before bringing Kronin to the mat with a headscissors takedown. She then comes up to her feet and celebrates, pumping her fist
Ben Price – Well, alright in the interest to not appear to be one sided I will say it is nice to see showcase her emotions and feelings a bit. For a while, she was seeming to embody her father.
Eddie Vega – Well nothing wrong with taking lessons from him, Benny Boy, but I do definitely like Valora’s style more. You never have to wonder how Valora’s feeling during a match, she’ll tell you and Abigail is doing that right now.
In the ring, Abby locks Kronin in a side headlock as he tries to get to his feet. She goes for a running bulldog. Kronin puts the breaks on and transitions into a rear waistlock and then lifts her up and plants her with a German suplex. Kronin keeps his hands locked and pulls her up and then lifts her up and plants her with a second German suplex. Kronin again keeps his hands locked and then pulls up and then plants her with a third German suplex. Where he normally releases here, he continues to keep his hands locked and then lifts her up and hits one more German suplex and bridging into the pin.
Ben Price – Death by Suplex! An oldie but goodie and Kronin added a Fourth German suplex!
Eddie Vega – I swear he’s the luckiest son of a…
Ashley Beaton slides in and begins to count…
…One!
……Two!
Ben Price – NO! Abigail kicks out!
Eddie Vega – Whew!
Kronin comes to his feet as Ashley Beaton holds up two fingers and sighs, shaking his head. Kronin then makes his way over to Abigail and pulls her to her feet and tries to whip her into the ropes but she counters, booting Kronin in the gut and jumping up and planting him on the mat with a DDT. She then runs to the ropes and jumps on the middle rope, hops up onto the top rope and jumps off into a moonsault, but Kronin rolls out of the way and Abby lands on her feet, and Kronin grabs her and plants her on the mat with a belly to belly suplex.
Ben Price – The chess match continues here as Kronin and Abigail each try to gain and maintain an advantage, but at the moment the pendulum is swinging a bit in the direction of Kronin.
Eddie Vega – Well it only matters who ends up with the win.
In the ring, Kronin pulls Abigail to her feet and she counters with a couple of punches to the gut and then a european uppercut that Kronin absorbs largely due to size differential and Kronin grabs her and headbutts her, sending her to the mat in a heap. Kronin climbs up the turnbuckle, but he has to take a couple of seconds to steady himself. Meanwhile, Abigail gets up and runs over, quickly getting up and punching Kronin in the gut, breaking up his planned attack and she climbs up to the second turnbuckle and grabs and turns, stepping down to the mat pulling Kronin out into a rope hung position and balances for a moment before she drops down into a sitting position hitting a version of a inverted piledriver as she drives Kronin’s head into the mat
Ben Price – What the hell?! I’ve never seen that, Abigail uses the ropes or turnbuckles to counter the height and weight difference between her and Kronin and manages to hit a variation of a piledriver.
Eddie Vega – Well that is definitely her mother showing through. Valora has been known at times to innovate offense and there was no way Kronin gameplanned that..
After a few seconds, Abby is able to get to her feet and makes her way over Kronin and locks in her version of the Koji Clutch. Ashley Beaton drops down and checks to see if Kronin taps out and Kronin for his part is trying to move towards the ropes
Ben Price – Celtic Clutch by Abby! But Kronin’s size should let him get to the ropes
Eddie Vega – Yes, but given the landing he just took from the turnbuckle, can he reach the neck before he has to tap out?!
Kronin grunts and slowly moves towards the ropes, reaching out as Abby cinches the hold in. After a few seconds, Kronin finally gets close enough to reach out and grab the rope. Ashley Beaton orders Abby to break the hold and she waits until the count of 4 before finally breaking the hold.
Ben Price – Kronin is able to reach the ropes and force the rope break
Eddie Vega – Damn, I thought Abigail had the win there for a second. Oh well.
In the ring, Abby punches the mat in frustration and stands up, sighing and kicking Kronin in the ribs
Abigail Dresden – Why won’t you stay down!? Why do you persist!?
Kronin uses the ropes to pull himself up, leaning on them as he looks at Abigail. His answer is silent. Just a shrug and then he urges Abby on. Abigiail lets out a roar and charges forward towards Kronin and slides out of the ring and grabs his feet and yanks, pulling Kronin to the mat and then she hops up onto the ring apron and then jumps and springboards off the ropes and hits a moonsault and moves into a pin, Ashley Beaton slides in and starts to count before and sees Kronin’s foot on the ropes and refuses to count and orders Abby to break the pin. Abby looks and sees the foot on the ropes, sighing and pounding her fist on the mat
Ben Price – I have to say I can sort of understand Abigail’s frustration, but I feel like I’ve seen this film before. Kronin has defeated Valora many times by getting under her skin and capitalizing on the mistake or two Valora makes in her rage
Eddie Vega – Yeah, and more than once, that rage was too much for him to deal with too. We’ll see how things go against Abigail
Kronin gets to his feet slowly and lets out a breath before locking eyes with Abigail and putting up his hands, as if daring her to grapple. In response, Abigail rebounds off the ropes and charges towards Kronin and ducks under his attempted clothesline. Kronin runs and rebounds off the ropes on one side, Abigail off the ropes on the other and Kronin tries for a pump kick but Abigail rolls under it, both fighters repeat rebounding off the ropes and come back but Kronin catches Abigail and spins around for 5 full rotations before planting her on the mat with his version of the Black Hole Slam.
Ben Price – Beautiful Disaster!! Kronin hits with the Beautiful Disaster! It is a favorite move of his and often signals the end of the match
Eddie Vega – No! God damn it! He can’t fucking win again!!
Kronin gets to a knee and dives into a cover and Ashley Beaton slides in and makes the count.
…One!
……Two!
………THRNO!!
Ben Price – Abby kicks out! Kronin thought he had the win but this match continues!!
Eddie Vega – Yes!
Kronin gets to a knee and sighs, shaking his head as he pulls Abby to her feet and sets her up for a powerbomb but as he picks her up, Abby jabs her thumbs into Kronin’s eyes, causing him to break his hold and jumps off Kronin’s shoulders hitting him with an improvised stunner style move. Abby jumps up to her feet and tries to go for a sharpshooter but Kronin blocks it and fights it off by using his legs to push Abby off of him
Ben Price – Abby counters the attempted finisher by Kronin with an impressive stunner style move and then she maybe went a bit too far by trying to use the sharpshooter on Kronin and he was, not surprisingly, able to counter that.
Eddie Vega – It might have worked. You don’t know.
Ben Price – I do, actually. Kronin countered it. He is well known to be quite skilled in the move and thus, has a great depth of knowledge to block and counter it. See also, the size differential between the two.
Eddie Vega – You know those fuckin’ liberals would say you’re a sexist for implying that Just because she’s a woman, Abby can’t do something.
Ben Price – Gender has nothing to do with it! She’s literally half his fucking size!
Eddie Vega – I got you to swear. I’m taking that as a win.
In the ring, both fighters are slow to get up. Both are breathing heavily as fatigue sets in. Kronin makes his way over to Abby and the two face each other and Abby hits Kronin with two left jabs then a third left jab and european uppercut. She grabs Kronin and pulls him towards her and hits a knee to the abdomen and Kronin counters with a belly to belly suplex, he then gets up and pants Abby with a Vertical suplex, both fighters lying on the mat trying to catch their breath.
Ben Price – These two have been going at it all match and let’s not forget a couple days ago, both fought in a tag team tournament. So punishment continues to mount on these two.
Eddie Vega – But this is where Kronin’s size works against him. He has a golden opportunity to win here as I’ve rarely seen Abby winded like she is now.
Ashley Beaton looks at the two fighters and begins implementing the 10 count.
…One!
…Two!
Both fighters continue to writhe on the mat
…Three!
…Four!
Abby crawls over to the ropes..
…Five!
… Six!
Abby reaches up and uses the ropes to pull herself up to her feet. For his part, Kronin pulls himself up to a knee. Ashley stops the count.
Ben Price – A 6 count. We almost had Abby escape with her title by virtue of Kronin failing to beat her.
Eddie Vega – As long as you leave with the belt.
Ashley Beaton checks on each fighter to ensure they are willing and able to continue fighting and both nod and pass Ashley’s check so she backs off and allows the match to continue. Abigail turns and hops up to the top turnbuckle and plays to the crowd, beating her chest and pumps her fist into the air as she roars out. After a few seconds of playing to the crowd and taking in their reaction, she backflips off the turnuckle and lands on the mat, turning to face Kronin, who took the time to lean against the ropes to try and get his own second wind. Abby and Kronin charge each other but Abby cuts him off with a boot to the gut and gets under him, positioning him for a fireman’s carry and, with some effort, lifts off her feet and holds him steady for about the time it takes her to take two steps forward and then she plants him on the mat with a Death Valley drvier style move.
Ben Price – My.. God! Kronin outweighs Abigail by a hundred pounds even and she actually was able to get him onto her shoulders and bring him to the mat.
Eddie Vega – Well, let’s not forget the Fireman’s carry is designed to help carry a large amount of weight, but she just lifted someone who is near 300lbs onto her shoulders. That’s pretty damn impressive.
Abigail jumps to her feet and runs in place pumping herself in excitement for the move she hit and she moves to the turnbuckle, facing the crowd, the cameras catching her seeming to sing along to ‘Golden’ from Huntrix..
Abigail Dresden (Singing) I’m done hidin’ now I’m Shinin’ like I’m born to be!
Abby glances behind her to measure the distance and blows a kiss to the crowd before she leaps into the air and hits her variation of her mother’s Aztec Moonsault which is itself known as the Phoenix Splash
Ben Price – Aztec Moonsault! Or perhaps Abigail will unveil a new name for her variation of it. Either way, this could be the match!
Eddie Vega – She said it perfectly, and she’s got a great singing voice too! I mean is there anything she can’t do?!
Abby rolls over, laying her back across Kronin and raises a hand, counting along with Ashley Beaton, the crowd counting along as well.
…One!
……Two!
………Three!
DING!! DING!!
Ben Price – She did it! Abigail Dresden just became the second Conquest Champion to successfully defend the belt!
Eddie Vega – Benny Boy.. this girl is only 18, and she’s on top of the freakin’ world! I’m startin’ to think the Upstarts have something about 2nd generation wrestlers.
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner, by pinfall, and STILL CWF Conquest Champion, Abigail Dresden!!!
Abby takes the belt and mic from Eric Wilson and walks over to Kronin and looks down, holding the belt over him.
Abigail Dresden – Told you this was the closest you were gonna get. I’m Golden and you.. You’re just done. If I have anything to say about it, you’ll never get another shot at this belt while I hold it. Get to the back of the fuckin’ line, old man. You’re done.
Ben Price – Come on! You won the damn match, you don’t need to rub it in!
Eddie Vega – Benny Boy, nothing wrong with-
[Samael Drago Theme] ‘Moonchild’ by Fields of the Nephilim plays over the PA and Samael Drago walks out from the back and just stares at Abigail
Ben Price – Samael Drago is out! He won the right to challenge for that belt in the rumble!
Eddie Vega – Not only that, he entered the rumble number 1 over all! He survived 39 other fighters to earn that shot!
Abigail returns the stare at her opponent and raises her belt over her head.
Abigail Dresden – You want it?! Come on! We’ll do this right now! Come and get it asshat!
Samael Drago just smirks and then laughs as the show goes off the air.
