Live from the CMDX Arena
Mexico City, Mexico
The camera comes into the full, packed house of the Mexico City Arena, in Mexico City. The camera does a fly by on the crowd, obviously a drone camera as the screen shows tonight’s attendance to be 21,553 tickets sold!
Music starts as Bad Omens’ “Concrete Jungle” Starts to play through the arena and live feed on the pay per view stream.
Can you see yourself
Through the bruises when the makeup melts?
In the dark when all the powers out?
Everybody talks and gets around
A shot of Larry Landsdowne stopping Demonik from hurting Savior Hawkins on the last Vanguard.
When the money talks
Do you think it gets the point across?
It’s a burning coal you’re walking on
And in a second, all the pain is gone
A shot of Ravenna Vandenburg and Valora Salinas confronting each other. It flows into the tag match of Salinas & Riot vs Dresden and Vandenburg from last Warzone.
I said, “It’s enough”
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun
and fell in a concrete jungle
I said, “It’s done”
You never know if you’ll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun
And I fell
I fell, in a concrete jungle
A shot of Team Reinhardt beating Pacific Rim, the scorpion sleeper on Kelea Thlunaught, to earn their shot tonight at the Tag Team Titles.
The coyotes cry
And the sirens pass and harmonize
Fires starting every day and night
Burn around us while we’re trapped inside
El Gringo Diablo getting his count out victory over Eoin O’Rourke. Followed by Greg Salazar beating Iro Waters. Both earning their spots in the Star Chamber match tonight.
Wouldn’t it be nice
To play the game without a crooked die
In a world where you don’t have to hide?
You don’t have to live in a disguise
Kronin Reinhardt beating Lady Lana Hill, and then Frank Windsor beating Apathy… both earning their shots in the Star Chamber match.
I said, “It’s enough”
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun
And fell in a concrete jungle
I said, “It’s done”
You never know if you’ll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun
And I fell
I fell, in a concrete jungle
And I’m the fucking king
Armand Von Krauss interrupting the AWS/Ik0n news conference and setting up the Tartarus Death Match tonight.
I want things that money can’t buy
The price is pain to make this right
And I could buy a thousand lives
So you can try to kill me, but I can’t fucking die
Die
Shots of the Valor Title Scramble match from the Vanguard Pre-show, showcasing Steve Murdock, Eddie Williams, and Abbigail Dresden.
I said it’s enough
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun
And fell in a concrete jungle
I said it’s done
You never know if you’ll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun
And I fell
I fell, in a concrete jungle
Iro Waters holding up the silver Valor Championship Belt
In a concrete jungle
And I’m the fucking king
And finishing with a promo show of the Star Chamber around the ring, when the arena was empty.
It cuts once the music is done, and we find our normal broadcast team, Ben Price and Eddie Vega at their desk for this show.
Ben Price – Welcome to Urban Warfare! The March to Mexico City is done!
Eddie Vega – And we’re ready to cap off Season 2 with a huge show for you tonight!
Ben Price – First to bring you all up to speed in case you missed the Vanguard Pre-Show… we have a NEW Valor Champion, in one Iro Waters. The man broke his losing streak and is now in possession of the Silver Belt!
Eddie Vega – And Eddie Williams got screwed out of the final pinfall in that scramble match!
Ben Price – Uhm, he used an illegal object to try to get one final quick pinfall. It’s his fault he got caught. The CWF has been in a tizzy over the lack of people following the pure wrestling rules in the Valor Title Division.
Eddie Vega – Whatever, lets run down what we’re going to see tonight. Such as… not many teams answered the call, but one team from the iK0n network did, as the House of Paine will be facing the Kharnival of Shadows tonight… the winner will get a shot at the CWF Tag Team Champions on Season 3, episode 2!
Ben Price – And the CWF Tag Team titles will be on the line in a tag team match, as Team Reinhardt will be challenging Pacific Rim!
Eddie Vega – Reinhardt already has a win over the tag champs, and rumor has it that Kelea Thlunaught is actually… afraid of Kara Reinhadt.
Ben Price – That was a wicked finish to that match, and tonight will be even more intense as the tag straps are on the line.
Eddie Vega – And a match I’m looking forward to, 3 stages of hell! Ravenna Jaeger challenges Valora Salinas… the winner has to show us their goods!
Ben Price – That would be something you think about. But add into that, it’s 3 falls, different stipulations for each fall. The winner gets to keep the Elite Title Belt.
Eddie Vega – We also have Charlie Fiegel, owner and operator of Ik0n Wrestling and Asylum Wrestling… coming in to try to shut Armand Von Krauss up in a Tartarus Death Match.
Ben Price – And that will take us to the main event, the Star Chamber match!
Eddie Vega – 5 people in that match up. All earned their shots last Warzone, plus Rob Riot… errr Janus Man, the Conquest Champion in an elimination match in that Cage up there!
Ben Price – That’s one imposing structure. But to start tonight off, we have Larry Landsdowne taking on Demonik!
Eddie Vega – Some Aussie punk tried to get in Demonik’s way last Vanguard… well the Vanguard that wasn’t our pre-show. And now he’ll get to face the Demonik one and learn the err of his ways!
Ben Price – Let’s get to the ring, and get Urban Warfare underway!
Eric Wilson – The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Featuring first the challenger, hailing from Melbourne, Australia…he is “the Paragon” Larry Lansdowne!
The lights in the arena dim, as the loud beginning of “My Name is Thunder” begins. A few flashing white lights go off around the roof and stage as the tempo builds up. Once the guitar hits, the lights come up and the words “The Paragon is the Business” appears on the screen. As we hear the lyrics, I’m a white light that’s burning, Right across your sky, “The Paragon” Larry Lansdowne appears at the top of the stage. He throws his arms wide open basking in the light before making his way down to the ring. He gets into the ring, climbs onto the turnbuckle and puts his hands up in the air acknowledging the crowd before hopping down, game face on and ready to go.
Ben Price – Larry faces a stiff challenge tonight in the form of DemoniK. Hope he’s ready for this.
Eddie Vega – You would think that he would have prepared his last will and testament after interfering in DemoniK’s business twice in a night.
Ben Price – You think that DemoniK will end Larry?
Eddie Vega – Well, we have had no word on the final fates of Savior Hawkins or Aphrodite Eros. This could be a third ended career from the demonic creature that Wendi controls.
Eric Wilson – And his opponent, hailing from the dark recesses of Wendi’s mind…it is DemoniK!
A red haze takes over the stage as ‘Sleepy Hollow’ by Deadsy feat. Jonathan Davis begins playing while a pale skinned eight year old girl dressed in a long black school uniform walks timidly out from the back dragging a steel chain behind her. Clearly attached to something, she struggles to pull it along.
Stopping, a sharp and vicious pull by the macabre girl suddenly brings slack to the chain.
Strobe lights flash as it steps out shielding it’s eyes, DemoniK steps onto the stage to the roar of boos from the Fireside faithful. The chain leading to a collar around its neck, it no longer resists her.
Pulling the monster closer and closer, it crouches to kneel before her. Wendi whispers something to her pet and receives a slow nod that it’s understood its instructions.
Pointing to the ring, Wendi waits for DemoniK to follow her instruction. Slowly, it begins stalking its way to the ring with Wendi casually walking behind, DemoniK rolls into the ring to stand in the corner while Wendi takes a seat near the timekeeper’s table, leaving it in the ring snarling occasionally as it looks across the ring at its next meal.
Ben Price – You know that DemoniK is scary, but that little girl is scarier.
Eddie Vega – Come on! DemoniK will break your neck. Wendi will just-oh crap she looked at me. Ok, she is scarier than DemoniK.
As the bell rings to start the match, Larry Lansdowne walks over to the center of the ring to meet up with DemoniK. Larry licks his lips as if contemplating his next action while DemoniK seems to be perfectly impassive.
Larry fires off a hard right hand, but it doesn’t face DemoniK in the least. Larry goes for another and upon impact. Nothing. Not a head turn, not a bit of movement. Larry takes off for the ropes and comes back at DemoniK on the rebound, going for the shoulder charge, but bounces off of DemoniK like he were a post.
Larry looks to the crowd for support and they cheer him on as DemoniK stands as still as a statue. Without much more inspiration, Larry pokes DemoniK in the eyes. This gets a reaction from DemoniK as he backs up and his hands go to his eyes in pain. Larry follows through with a kick in the gut ad pumphandle slam to put DemoniK onto the mat.
DemoniK hops right back up to his feet, but this time Larry is on him. He whips DemoniK into the ropes and follows it so that as soon as it turns around, Larry clotheslines it over the ropes and to the concrete floor.
Ben Price – Looks like Larry found an offensive method.
Eddie Vega – Just had to break the ice.
Larry runs to the ropes and when DemoniK gets back to his feet, it sees Larry leaping through the ropes and into a high spear to the chest that sends them both crashing into the security railing! Larry stands up first and rolls back into the ring as DemoniK is getting up and follows. Larry grabs the standing DemoniK and hits it with a belly to belly suplex!
Larry pulls DemoniK up and into a front face lock. He drops the demonic being into a DDT and goes for the cover! Troy Reynolds gets into position for the count.
….One
……Two
……Th-DemoniK kicks out!
Larry starts to kneel up when DemoniK is still on its back, but it grabs Larry and applies the mandible claw!
Ben Price – Holy shit! That came out of left field!
Eddie Vega – A lot of stuff comes out from there. This match could already be over!
Troy Reynolds goes to check to see of Larry will submit, but doesn’t get an answer as Larry grabs DemoniK around the middle and rolls with it to under the ropes and out of the ring! The fall breaks the hold.
DemoniK is up first and kicks Larry while he’s down a few times before pulling him up and whipping him face first into the ring steps to demolish them! Larry rolls over to sit up quickly, blood trickling down his face from a gash on his forehead. He looks up to see DemoniK charging at him and rolls out of the way just in time for DemoniK to drop kick the ring steps instead. Larry gets to his feet and meets the rising DemoniK with a piledriver onto the concrete floor!
Larry rolls back into the ring as Troy starts counting them both out. DemoniK is slow to get up, but beats the count to get back ito the ring. Larry catches DemoniK coming into the ring and hits a vertical suplex! Larry doesn’tlet DemoniK recover, applying an STF.
Ben Price – Larry really has that STF hooked in!
Eddie Vega – Yeah, but it’s not like DemoniK is showing any signs of pain.
Ben Price – Of course he’s masked so it’s hard to tell if he’s hurting.
Eddie Vega – He would also show some kind of bodily action instead of laying there like a dead fish.
Troy Reynolds checks on DemoniK to see if it will submit, but it does not give an indication that it is alive. Troy checks its arm and it raises.
When Larry realizes that he’s not going to get a submission, he releases the hold. He stands up and watches as DemoniK is slow to rise. Larry holds his hands out like he was taking a picture and goes for an RKO! DemoniK pushes him away though and the move isn’t completed. Larry turns around and is taken down with a Lou Thez press and pounded on with lefts and rights until blood starts splattering the mat. Troy Reynolds begins counting and at the four, DemoniK gets off of Larry and pulls him to his feet.
DemoniK grabs Larry by the shoulders and hits a powerful headbutt that staggers the Australian back a few steps. DemoniK follows this up with a black hole slam, but doesn’t hook the leg for the pinfall. Instead, it gets to its feet and stomps the side of Larry’s face with a boot! It grinds its heel into the side of Larry’s face for a few seconds, opening a gash in his cheek.
Ben Price – How quickly the tide can turn.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, DemoniK clearly on top right now. Might be going toward the end of the match.
DemoniK climbs to the top turnbuckle, facing away from Larry in the middle of the ring. It throws itself backwards to do the coffin drop, but no one is there as Larry rolls out of the way!
Larry grits his teeth, his face a mask of blood, as he slowly gets back up. He again “takes a picture” with his hands, watching as DemoniK gets up. He hits the RKO that he calls the Freeze Frame and goes for the pinfall!
….One
……Two
……..Three!
Larry Lansdowne stands up with his arms in the air to celebrate his win. He looks down at the fallen DemoniK and only sees a green tinted fog. The demon is gone. He looks to ringside and sees that Wendi is also gone.
Ben Price – Where did they go?
Eddie Vega – Back to Hell I would presume.
Eric Wilson – Winner of the match via pinfall…”the Paragon” Larry Lansdowne!
Ben Price – He did it! He beat Demonik!
Eddie Vega – That’s a trial by fire there. That’s huge! Only one thing left for this Lansdowne guy to do now.
Ben Price – What’s that?
Eddie Vega – Wrestle Greg Salazar for the Paragon title!
Ben Price – That might happen one day. We do have two paragons in the CWF now.
Eddie Vega – Well Greg Salazar had it first.
Ben Price – I’ve not heard him take exception to it.
Eddie Vega – Maybe they could form a tag team?
Ben Price – There’s an idea. Well speaking of tag teams, no commercials tonight folks. We’re moving on with the show… time to see who will face the tag team champions in their next defense.
Eric Wilson – The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Featuring first the challengers, the team is comprised of Jigsaw and DKM. Together they are…the House of Paine!
The arena dims as red and black pyros go off. Soon after, “Asylum” by Disturbed plays over the PA system. DKM makes his way out onto the stage, and stands at the top of the ramp. Jigsaw rushes out, and leaps over his partner. They both slowly walk down to the ring, and make their way into the squared circle.
Ben Price – The House of Paine the only team brave enough to answer the call of the Kharnival. The winner of this match will earn a tag team title shot!
Eddie Vega – Will the House of Paine be able to take on whomever wins tonight of Team Reinhardt against the Pacific Rim? Chances are yes!
Ben Price – You think so?
Eddie Vega – That’s what I’m betting, yeah.
Eric Wilson – And their opponents. The team comprising of Katya Karnavalka and the Marquis de Harlequin. Together they are…the Kharnival of Shadows!
As the eerie melody of “Carnival of the Damned” begins, a mist of deep blue and crimson creeps across the stage. The arena lights flicker as if reacting to the haunting carnival tune, casting shadowy silhouettes. Marquis De Harlequin and Katya Karnavalka emerge from the fog, their figures entwined in a macabre dance as they embrace and share a long passionate kiss on stage. They move with a choreographed grace, their steps telling a story of a love woven in darkness and danger. A spotlight follows them to the ring, their combined shadow stretching out like a dark omen. Upon entering the ring, they execute a theatrical bow, an invitation to the audience to witness the spectacle they are about to create.
Ben Price – The Kharnival have had one match and they dominated it. How are you so certain that they aren’t going to win this one too?
Eddie Vega – Because I put down a c-bill saying that they are going to lose. I never lose when it comes to putting down money.
Ben Price – I think you might be out of luck on this one.
Eddie Vega – Wanna put a c-bill to it?
Ben Price – I don’t normally gamble, but why not? A hundred dollars says the Kharnival of Shadows will beat the House of Paine.
Eddie Vega – Man! That’s easy money.
As the bell sounds to start the match Jigsaw and the Marquis de Harlequin begin the match in the ring. They begin circling around one another while looking for the opening by which to begin an offensive. Jigsaw starts off with a hard right hand before locking up with the Marquis. They press each other back and forth before the Marquis whips Jigsaw into the ropes and takes him down on the rebound with a clothesline!
Jigsaw gets right back to his feet, but the Marquis is on him quickly and brings him down again with a Russian legsweep! The Marquis leans into Jigsaw with kicks and stomps before Jigsaw can roll away and get back to his feet.
The Marquis kicks Jigsaw in the gut and begins to lift him up for a power slam when Jigsaw blocks being lifted and hits a backdrop! As the Marquis gets to his feet, Jigsaw takes him down with a rising sun crescent kick! Jigsaw pulls the Marquis up and whips him into the corner where Jigsaw tags in DKM.
DKM steps into the ring and grabs the Marquis from behind while Jigsaw takes aim with a superkick! The Marquis breaks free and drops down while Jigsaw superkicks DKM over the top rope!
Ben Price – Whoopsie!
Eddie Vega – Mild mistake is all. They’ll make it up.
The Marquis walks over and tags in Katya Karnavalka, who leans in deep as she steps into the ring. Jigsaw stands and stares at her until referee, Georgina Ross, smacks him on the shoulder to get his attention to get him to exit the ring. DKM rolls into the ring and runs across the ring to hit a European uppercut, but Katya deflects his forearm and grabs him by the back of the head. He pulls DKM in face first into her cleavage and begins to suffocate him in her ampleness. DKM tries to break free and it takes Georgina to begin counting her out before she releases him. DKM staggers backward, caught between joy at being caught in such a state and trying to catch his breath from being suffocated.
Ben Price – Those are lethal weapons!
Eddie Vega – Oh to be killed by those.
Katya pursues DKM, hitting a spear to take him down to the mat. She perches herself on him and lays into him with lefts and rights before Georgina gets her to get off of him. DKM sits up and shakes his head, his hand going to his nose to see that there’s a trickle of blood coming from it. He starts to get up when he sees Katya rebounding from the ropes and coming right at him with a dropkick to the chest that flattens him. She gets back up and goes to the ropes again, coming back with a leg drop!
She pulls him up ad puts him into a full nelson. She lifts him up into the air with the full nelson and plants him in a Sitout Full Nelson Atomic Drop that she calls the Circus of Pain! She goes for the cover while the Marquis runs across the ring to drop Jigsaw before he can come in and help.
Eric Wilson – Winners of the match via pinfall…the Kharnival of Shadows!
Jigsaw and DKM make their way to the back while Katya Karnavalka and the Marquis de Harlequin celebrate their win with a kiss in the center of the ring.
Ben Price – That will be a hundred bucks, Eddie!
Eddie Vega – Crap! Here you go, man. This sucks!
Ben Price – Pleasure doing business with you.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, yeah. Fucking carnies…
Ben Price – well the action continues tonight… we just found out the Kharnival of Shadows will be challenging the Tag Team Champions, but lets see who will be the Tag Team Champions come Season 3, Episode 2!
Eddie Vega – I have to pull for Pacific Rim tonight you know. I mean, at least they’re not boring.
Ben Price – Careful, Kronin Reinhardt will be out here shortly. Lets go to the ring.
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is set for one fall and it is for the CWF Tag Team Championships! Introducing first, the challengers. Hailing from Dresden, Germany. Weighing in at a combined weight of 480lbs, they are the team of Kara and Kronin, Reinhardt, Team Reinhardt!!!
The lights in the arena dim and ‘Deutschland’ by Rammstein plays over the PA a mist forming on the ground and pyro going off in such a way that Kronin and Kara seem to emerge from the mist and pyrotechnic display. Lilly and Rayven come out behind the duo, Lilly wrapping an arm around and patting Kronin’s waist making the title belt motion. Kronin can also be seen wearing a pendant similar to that worn by Geralt of Witcher fame.
Next to him, Kara and Rayven pose standing back to back. Kara is also wearing a pendant similar to Kronin’s and the duo finally make their way down to the ring, to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Still Kronin and Kara stop to interact with the crowd at times as they make their way to ringside and get into the ring.
Ben Price – The entirety of Team Reinhardt is coming down to ringside, and man, I gotta tell you,
Eddie. I’ve not seen both members of the team as confident as they are right now. This could be a big night for the Germans.
Eddie Vega – Few things, Benny boy. First of all, how am I the only one who is worried about Germans coming out of nowhere to achieve dominance in a rapid fashion?
Ben Price – Dude! You can’t say that!
Eddie Vega – It’s history! It’s happened before!
Ben Price – What’s the other thoughts? Though I’m scared to ask now.
Eddie Vega – Kronin has to wrestle 2 matches tonight, so we’re going to see a handicap match here, Kara vs. Pacific Rim. Not that it will help because mark my words, there is zero chance that Kronin walks out of here with the world title!
The arena’s lights fade and dim as heavy Native beat drums start to play. A woman’s voice starts up as the spotlight shines up onto the stage. Two people, one much bigger than the other, are there, covered in what can only be called Native inspired dancing robes. The smaller one’s costume looking like some sort of bird. The larger one, his mask looking like a large fish or whale.
Both start to dance, traditional moves to the beat, and head down to the ring. Jerky movements from the smaller one, simulating that bird, and more flowing moves from the larger.
Eric Wilson – Coming to the ring, they are the reigning and defending CWF Tag Team Champions of the World! hailing from Ketchnican, Alaska by way of Oʻahu, Hawaii… coming in at a combined 465 lbs… They are the fraternal twins known as “The Sea Raven” and “The Sea Wolf”, Kelea & Akhlut Thlunaut… Pacific Rim!!!
Both dance down to the ring, until they get to the ringside area. They stop, and then pull off their masks, and hand them to attendants at ringside. Both then remove their robes in a flourish, roll them up and put them with their masks, in the Attendant’s arms.
Then then both jump up to the ring apron in unison, but that’s when the ‘twin’ part ends. As Kelea does a ring rope assisted somersault into the ring, her much larger brother, Akhlut slowly climbs between the second and top rope. As they make their way down to the ring, the mostly Mexican crowd rallies behind the tribal theme of the champions and they get mostly cheers.
Ben Price – And the champs are in the house now. Now, first off, I think your claim that Kronin will duck this match and hide behind his sister is BS. Secondly, I think the bigger story coming into this match is that both of these teams have been asked to carry the tag team division and both have done so, We’ve seen some other teams begin to form and creep in, I can’t wait to see what happens here tonight with the future of the tag division at stake!
Eddie Vega – Tag team wrestling is almost obsolete. Now, these two teams are an exception. Both are brother-sister teams. Both are twins. They know they can trust each other. But outside of that, are you comfortable trusting another person to have your back?
Ben Price – I think you’re wrong about tag team being a thing of the past, but you do have a point in you need to pick the right partner.
Eddie Vega – Now, I said I think Kronin will hide behind Kara, to be fair, we’ve heard a lot of rumors that Kelea is absolutely terrified of Kara so this could end up being Kara vs. Ahklut!
The two teams stand toe to toe, Kronin standing across from Ahklut, Kara standing across from Kelea, who is obviously terrified of her. Kara smirks seeing the reaction and nods. The champs meanwhile hand the titles to Ashley Beaton who holds the belts up and then hands them to Eric Wilson as he exits the ring. The teams retreat to their corners and we get Kronin leading off against Kelea.
DING!!
Kronin comes out of his corner. Kelea tries to be brave and fires off a few punches to the body. Kronin doesn’t seem to feel the impact of them and looks at Kelea as he grabs her and headbutts her once, sending her to the mat in a heap. Kronin drags Kelea to her feet and lifts her into the air, holding her with one arm as he walks out into the middle of the ring and plants Kelea with a vertical suplex Kelea hitting the mat with such an impact she arches her back and writhes on the mat a bit. Kronin moves towards Kelea and she scrambles to her feet and moves across the ring to tag in her brother. Kronin responds by also going to his corner and tagging in Kara.
Ben Price – Kelea was clearly rattled at the beginning of the match and that likely is what led to the opening dominance from Kronin.
Eddie Vega – Smart move by Kronin to also make a quick tag. I suppose now we’ll see how committed to this match he is.
Ahklut smirks as he walks over to Kara who doesn’t back down and demands a test of strength. Kara accepts and the two lock up and to Ahklut’s surprise, he does not immediately dominate her. Despite the size difference, Kara holds firm for a few seconds and moves Ahklut into a side headlock because she loses the test of strength. She Immediately increases pressure on his neck, punching him on top of the head before trying to a snapmare takedown but Ahklut catches her and plants her with a high angle backdrop. Ahklut drags Kara to her feet, and locks her in a side headlock, walking over to his corner, but Kelea drops down from the apron, shaking her head. Ahklut looks surprised by this but Kara takes advantage, stomping on Ahklut’s foot, hitting an elbow to the the gut and drives her elbow into his face, causing him to break the hold.
Ben Price – Kelea seems to outright refuse to fight Kara. Instead of Kara needing to worry about her partner, it might be Ahklut who needs to be worried about his partner
Eddie Vega – I have to say I did not see that coming.
Ahklut stumbles back, reeling from the blow. Kara tries for a spinning backfist but Ahklut dodges the blow. Kara then darts across the ring and tags in Kronin, with Ahklut coming behind her. Ahklut is taken down as Kronin leaps off the top turnbuckle and takes Ahklut to the mat with a flying shoulder tackle. Kronin then rebounds off the ropes, but Kelea jumps and kicks Kronin in back of the head, causing him to stumble, Ahklut grabs him and brings him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Ahklut rebounds off the ropes and Kelea tags her brother’s back and jumps into the air, trying for a leg drop. Kronin rolls out of the way and Kelea springboards off the ropes and hits Kronin with a somersault neckbreaker bringing him to the mat. Kelea quickly scrambles over and makes a cover on Kronin and Ashley Beaton drops down to make the count
… One
…… Two
Kara dives off the ropes and breaks up the count with an elbow drop on Kelea!
Ben Price – An amazing series of moves there! Kronin came in and showed he has some aerial skill. Kelea broke up his offense with a well timed kick to the back of the head and Ahklut hits the belly to belly, nearly hits a massive leg drop but Kronin jumped from the frying pan to the fire as he dodges the leg drop to be hit by the now legal Kelea hitting a somersault Neckbreaker she calls the Calving the Glacier
Eddie Vega – but Kara went airborne herself coming off the top turnbuckle with an elbow drop.
Ashley Beaton forces Kara out of the ring. Meanwhile, Kelea moves to the ring apron and springboards again, trying a springboard moonsault but Kronin gets his knees up and Kelea crashes and burns, curling up on the mat in pain. Kronin gets up and dives, tagging his sister in.
Ben Price – Uh Oh! Kelea went to the well too many times and Kronin countered and brings in his sister
Eddie Vega – Benny boy, that island girl just turned as whiter than a anti-social goth girl that’s watched too many episodes of Buffy or one of those vampire shows, movies.. You get the picture.
Kelea literally shrieks as she watches Kara jump over the ropes and she crawls for the corner to make the tag, but Kara catches her by the ankle, and reels her in like a fish, pulling her up and lifting her up into the air and putting her on the mat with a German suplex, placing herself between Kelea and her brother. Kara drags Kelea to her feet and Kelea is still trying to get away and finally tries to throw a few punches. Kara dodges and weaves her head and sends Kelea to the mat with a european uppercut. Kara wastes no time mounting Kelea and pummels Kelea with a series of fists. Ahklut comes in and kicks Kara in the back, knocking her off at which point, Kronin charges in and begins trading punches with Ahklut as the two big men stand toe to toe and trade punches. Ashley Beaton inserts herself between the big men fearlessly, nearly getting decked by Kronin accidentally in the process, and orders both men out of the ring. Both men fall back, though Ahklut grabs Kelea and drags her closer to his corner. Kelea wastes no time and as soon as Ahklut gets back, she tags him.
Ben Price – Kelea still seems mentally unable to bring herself to face Kara. This could really hamper the champs going forward.
Eddie Vega – Definitely, Benny boy. We all criticized Team Reinhardt for Kara having to carry the team. Well so far, Kronin and Kara have both shared their time fairly equally. Kronin has had two shifts, and Kara is on shift 2 now. Meanwhile, Kelea has avoided one tag and has literally run from Kara a second time.
In the ring, seeing the tag, Kara braces herself and as Ahklut comes charging in, Kara grabs him and lifts him up, dropping him groin first onto her knee in a reverse atomic drop. Kara then rebounds off the ropes and spears Ahklut, taking a mounted position and once more rains down more punches on Ahklut, Kara eventually breaks the attack up and gets to her feet and starts to move towards her team’s corner, seemingly intending to make the tag. Ahklut gets to his feet and grabs, Kara, turning her to face him. He throws a few punches that Kara ducks and dodges and then Kara blocks and deflects a few more punches and counters, hitting Ahklut with a European uppercut, sending him back a couple steps. Kara charges in after him and Ahklut counters with a powerslam. Ahklut pulls Kara to her feet and whips her into the ropes. Kronin reaches over and tags his sister on the back. Ahklut sees Kronin coming and cuts him off with a couple of big right hands, before whipping him into Kara, sending both of the Reinhardt twins to the mat.
Ben Price – Wow! That was a hell of an exchange there, but it ended in spectacular fashion with Ahklut seeing the double team coming and slamming the Reinhardt twins into each other!
Eddie Vega – That was a great way to turn momentum in his favor and Ashley Beaton seems to be having trouble identifying the legal person! She’s forcing Kronin out of the ring.
Kronin rolls out of the ring as Ahklut moves over to Kara and pulls her to her feet, before whipping her to the Pacific Rim corner. Kelea again kicks Kara in back of the head. Kara growls and elbows Kelea, knocking her off balance, Ahklut slams into Kara sandwhiching her between him and the turnbuckle. Kelea forces herself to grab Kara’s arms and pull back as she places both feet on the turnbuckle and leans back, Kara crying out in pain but is cut off as Ahklut pounds her torso with a combination of punches and big knee strikes before Kelea lets go finally, Ahklut sits Kara up on the top turnbuckle and brings her to mat with a superplex. Ahklut hits with mat with her and rolls over into a pin. Ashley Beaton drops down and makes the count
… One
…… Two
……… ThNO!
Kara kicks out!!
Ben Price – Well, Pacific Rim definitely took advantage of Ashley Beaton making a rare mistake and not seeing Kronin come in as the legal man. Kara has taken a beating and definitely needs a chance to catch her breath
Eddie Vega – Yeah Pacific Rim is definitely doing their part to derail the German Blitzkrieg tonight. There will be no Librenstrom here!
Ben Price – DUDE!
Eddie Vega – Right they missed that generation.. Fans what I meant to say is that these Commie Bastards won’t be Extending the Iron Curtain! There will be no Wall Building!
Ben Price – …We’re definitely going to be fired… I’d like to apologize to German fans and well, most of Europe, the former Soviet bloc countries and..I hope I’m not missing anyone..
Eddie Vega – Hey! I like the Reinhardts! I do! But you can’t tell me my analogies aren’t accurate!
Ben Price – The owner of this fed is, himself, German.
Eddie Vega – ….Fuck.
Ahklut, feeling the match is firmly in hand and in desire to help his twin moves over celebrating with her and then tags her. Kelea looks at Ahklut with a stunned look on her face. Ahklut explains that Kara is down and out and now is the perfect chance to take advantage. Ashley Beaton orders Kelea to enter the ring and she glares daggers at her twin and moves into the ring and… stands in the middle of the ring. Kara slowly gets up to a knee and sees Kelea just standing there, ordering her to tag in her twin. Kara, needing the break, doesn’t need to be told twice and tags Kronin in as Ahklut is shouting from his corner, unable to believe his twin didn’t press the advantage.
Ben Price – I… don’t know what the hell that was or how to describe it, but one thing is clear fans, Kelea wants absolutely no part of Kara Reinhardt.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, but I’m not sure I wanna fight a giant like Kronin. I mean look at him, he looks like Goliath or one of those damn giants from the bible or something!
Kronin enters the ring. Kelea bats her eyes and does a little dance. Kronin looks at Kelea, watching her dance and then points to ringside where Lilly is glaring daggers at Kelea and even begins saying something which causes Rayven to take hold of her mother and break up whatever she was planning. In the ring, Kronin moves over and grabs Kelea. He then hits a series of 3 belly to belly suplexes. Kronin gets to his feet, measuring Kelea as she gets to her feet, shaking her head and she is brought back to the mat with a German Suplex. Kronin comes to his feet and decides to run a psy op of his own bending down and power lifting Kelea, lifting her to the air and setting her on her feet so that he can grab her by the neck and lifts her into the air and chokeslams her into the mat, going for the cover. Ashley Beaton slides down and makes the count.
… One
…… Two
Ahklut runs in and breaks up the cover!
Ben Price – Kronin putting on a suplex clinic on Kelea and then attacking her obvious fear by choke slamming. Ahklut came in and saved their titles for now.
Eddie Vega – Smart move by Kronin, Kelea clearly has not recovered from Pacific Rim’s last encounter with the Reinhardts and there’s a fair to decent chance that Kelea refuses to fight the rest of the match now!
Ahklut retreats back to his corner as Kelea freaks out about the chokeslam and moves to follow her brother but Kronin grabs her and plants her with another German suplex. Kronin pulls her to her feet and lifts her over his head, pressing her over his head before tossing her on the mat behind him. Kelea is still crawling towards her corner when Kronin grabs her by her ankle and drags her back to his corner, putting her in the corner, he tags Kara into the match and the two German twins take turns pummeling Kelea in the corner before Ashley Beaton comes in and forces Kronin to leave. Ahklut comes into the ring and charges forward to help his sister out, Kronin and Kara meet him, lift him up and plant him with a double spinebuster. Ashley Beaton orders Kronin and Ahklut out of the ring, threatening DQ. Kronin and Ahklut roll out of the ring and begin brawling on the ringside area. That brawling ends briefly when Kronin tries to whip Ahklut into the barricades but Ahkult reverses it and sends Kronin into the barricades.
Ben Price – Kronin and Ahklut have begun brawling here at OH MY GOD!
Eddie Vega – Ahklut is trying to drive Kronin’s head through our table fans!
In the ring, Kara continues to pound on Kelea who has stopped trying to escape and is just covering up, trying to shield herself from the blows. Kara sets Kelea on top of the turnbuckle and climbs up. Kelea, begins throwing punches and slaps wildly as she panics, Kara deflects a few of them and rocks Kelea with a European uppercut, she then hooks Kelea and turns as she brings Kelea to the mat with her version of the Rock Bottom, both women laying on the mat.
Ben Price – And a rookie mistake by Kara there.. An impressive move, but she seems to have forgotten.. OH! Kronin fighting back with a body slam onto the floor at ringside!
Eddie Vega – As my partner was beginning to say, Kara seems to have forgotten how her ‘Reich Breaker’ move works and thus, while she definitely ruined Kelea’s day.. She also drove herself face first into the mat from the top turnbuckle..
Scott Jones comes running down to ringside and orders Kronin and Ahklut to break up the fight and return to their corners, which they eventually do. In the ring, both Kelea and Kara are down. Kara gets to a knee, shaking her head as Kelea lays on the mat exhausted. Kara finally gets to her feet and pulls Kelea to her feet. Kelea responds with a thumb to the eye of Kara and sprints for her corner, but Kara reaches out and grabs her by her hair and yanks her down to the mat. Ashley Beaton berates both fighters for their use of illegal maneuvers.
Ben Price – Kelea’s refusal to fight Kara is really costing her team here. I don’t approve illegal moves, but she had an opening there and wasted it by trying to run
Eddie Vega – You’re absolutely right, Benny boy. She’s got to start pulling her weight in this match.
In the ring, Kara turns to the crowd and signals she plans to end the fight by dragging her thumb across her throat. Ahklut sees this and enters the ring. Kronin also comes into the ring and he and Ahklut meet about the middle of the ring and Kronin lifts him up plants Ahklut onto the mat with his version of the Black Hole Slam. Kara sees this and picks up Kelea and drives her head first into Ahklut’s chest with a Michinoku driver.
Ben Price – Dresden Driver! My God, she drove Kelea head first right into Ahklut!!
Eddie Vega – Damn, After this, I don’t think Kelea will want to be in the same city as Kara Reinhardt! That’s twice she’s had the number of the younger fighter.
Kara pins Kelea to the mat and Ashley Beaton slides in and begins the count
… One
…… Two
……… Three!
DING!!!
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners and the NEW CWF Tag Team Champions, Team Reinhardt!!!
Ben Price – Team Reinhard is now 2-0 against Pacific Rim. I definitely think we’re seeing the beginnings of a competitive rivalry. Hopefully it will stay respectful and friendly
Eddie Vega – Assuming of course, Kelea doesn’t develop PTSD or something. She’s been on the receiving end of both of Kara’s finishers.
The belts are handed to Kronin and Kara who hold them up, Lilly and Rayven coming in and the whole team celebrates the big win and new Tag Champions.
Ben Price – Well while the ring gets cleared and we get ready for the Tartarus Deathmatch, here is where we’ll need to remind you that on March 29th, at the 02 Arena in London, Ik0n wrestling presents Champoins Carnival… . So far we know that Rob Riot will be challenging Bram Connan for the Ik0n triple crown championship. Eddie Williams of the CWF’s own Bastards will be facing Derrick Kaine for the Undergound Title. And a 15 man battle royal that currently will include, from the CWF: Greg Salazar, Abbigail Dresden, and Eddie Williams have confirmed taking part the winner will get a shot at the winner of the winner of Riot and Connan at the next big Ik0n showcase!
Eddie Vega – Can you imagine if The CWF just sweeps all their damn matches and titles?
Ben Price – Well that could start right now.. As our owner, will now be facing their owner to settle a score!
Eddie Vega – Well lets see what Mr. Feigel’s got!
Eric Wilson – The following contest is a Tartarus Deathmatch and is scheduled for one fall! Featuring first the challenger…Hailing from Syracuse, New York! Standing 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing in at 245 pounds! THE HARDK0RE IK0N! CHARLIE FEIGEL!!!!
“Step Up” by Drowning Pool hits, “The HardK0re Ik0n” Charlie Feigel steps out from the back with his trusty kendo stick and roll of barbed wire. The legend walks straight to the ring, slides his trusty tools in his corner for safekeeping, and slides into the ring. Peering up the ramp as if seeing his opponent waiting to make his entrance. The crafty veteran stretches and awaits the guy he is about to try and dismantle before the capacity crowd. He looks up to see the cage hanging overhead and smiles.
Ben Price – Charlie Feigel is here to defend the honor of his company in the form of Ik0n. This is likely a mistake.
Eddie Vega – I don’t know. Charlie could come out of this match with mild damage instead of major.
Ben Price – This is true. This is a dangerous match and Armand is a dangerous man.
Eddie Vega – Charlie is a veteran and could surprise us.
Eric Wilson – And his opponent, hailing from Cologne, Germany, standing 6 foot 2 inches and weighing in at 245 pounds…he is the owner of Conquest Wrestling Federation…Armand von Krauss!
“Circus Apocalypse” by Vermillion Lies begins playing as Armand von Krauss walks out from the back in his ring gear. Black wrestling tights that say Krimson going down one leg and Kharnival down the other. He is smoking an Egyptian cigarette as he stands out on the entrance stage and takes in the boos from the crowd as if they were invigorating him.
He walks slowly down to the ring, a trail of smoke behind him. He flicks ashes onto the floor at regular intervals until he gets to the ring where he flicks the cigarette butt into the crowd to cause a commotion and fresh boos from the crowd. He steps into the ring and smirks at Charlie Feigel.
Ben Price – I notice that Armand does not look up at the cage. He keeps his gaze on Charlie.
Eddie Vega – Always watch your enemy. You never know what they might be up to.
Ben Price – Armand has been shit talking Ikon quite a bit of late and jumping into one of Charlie’s press conferences was enough for the owner.
Eddie Vega – Well, I mean Charlie is the Hardcore Ikon. So we will see how this match goes.
The cage is slowly lowered into place while the competitors in the ring stare each other down. The lights dim and blue lightning crawls across the steel cage, causing the audience to cheer in anticipation of the match to come. As the bell sounds to start the match, Armand von Krauss and Charlie Feigel walk to the center of the ring to begin the match.
Armand von Krauss – You’ll be fortunate to leave this first match alive.
Charlie Feigel – All I’m hearing is talk. Show me.
Armand just laughs.
Armand von Krauss – Show me what you’re made of.
Charlie Feigel – Fine.
Charlie takes a swing at Armand, who doesn’t move or try to avoid the blow that connects to his jaw. His head doesn’t even move from the impact. Charlies goes for another punch, but Armand catches the fist and begins to squeeze. Charlie’s eyes go wide in shock from the pain and the surprise of Armand’s strength. Armand whips Charlie into the ropes and follows so that on the rebound, Armand is there with a shoulder charge that sends Charlie over the top rope and to the ring apron where he smacks his shoulder against the iron cage.
Charlie gets up and aaway from the cage wall before the lights flicker out and the cage comes alive with blue lightning. Charlie grabs the middle rope and sligshots his shoulder into Armand’s midsection before grabbing the top rope and hitting a sunset flip pitfall attempt. Scott ones, the referee, gets into position to count the cover.
….One
……Two
……..Thr- Armand kicks out!
Charlie gets up and waits for Armand to rise before attacking him with lefts and rights. He sends Armand to the ropes and catches him with a spinning heel kick on the rebound that sends Armand to the mat.
Armand gets to his knees when Charlie runs over and kicks him in the chest. He pulls Armand up and gets him up into a suplex position before walking over to the ropes and throwing him into the iron cage!
Ben Price – What a move by Charlie!
Eddie Vega – Yeah that was some impressive power right there.
Armand is quick to get back to his feet, but Charlie slingshots himself into a high knee to the side of the head that sends Armand into a twirl that sends him face first into the cage wall!
Armand turns around with a snarl as Charlie rolls back into the ring and to his feet. Black blood trickles down the side of Armand’s face from where a small gash is quickly closing at his temple.
Armand steps through the ropes and watches as Charlie closes in quickly. Charlie lunges in quickly, obviously going for an exploder suplex, but Armand catches him in the face with a knee lift instead. Armand grabs Charlie by the arm and hits a short arm clothesline that sends the Ik0n to the mat. The lights flicker off and when the blue lightning from the cage shines upon the ring dimly, but enough for the crowd to see? The fans see Charlie struggling as Armand is knelt down with one knee pressed against Charlie’s throat to choke him out.
Scott Jones tell him to stop when the lights come back on, but Armand just sneers at him.
Armand von Krauss – What will you do? Disqualify me?
Scott Jones seems to walk away when he comes back over behind Armand and shoves him over to break the choke hold. Armand umps up to his feet while Charlie tries to recover from the move and gets into Scott’s face.
Scott Jones – Strike me and I can disqualify you…sir.
Armand growls, but turns away from Scott and right into a pumphandle supex by the already recovered Charlie. He then pulls Armand up and hits a kneeling reverse piledriver before he goes for the cover!
….One
……Two
The lights go out and everything is bathed in the blue glow of the lightning crawling across the cage. Scott ones ignores this and goes to count the third slap to the mat when he notices that Charlie isn’t pinning anyone!
Ben Price – What is this?
Eddie Vega – Armand still has some tricks up his sleeve.
Charlie gets up, only to be grabbed from behind and hit with a German suplex by Armand. He then pulls Charlie up into a press slam position, walks a few steps and hurls Charlie face first into the iron cage! Charlie hits ring apron with his hands going to his face, blood leaking through his fingers from his forehead. Armand grabs him by the foot and partially drags him into the ring. He kicks the hands away from Charlie’s bloodied face and steps on the bottom rope to press it down across Charlie’s throat. Charlie lashes out at Armand and attempts to get the ropes from his neck, but Armand is unrelenting i trying to choke him out. Scott Jones pulls Armand away from the ropes and yells at him. Armand draws back a hand as if to backhand Scott, who stands his ground.
Scott Jones – Strike an official during even a hardcore match and you still lose. Do you want to lose to Ik0n like this?
Armand bares his teeth in a snarl and turns his attention back to the rising Charlie. He clotheslines Charlie over the ropes and follows him to the ring apron.
Ben Price – Scott Jones really pushing his luck in this gambit.
Eddie Vega – I know right? You didn’t hear this from me, but I think the last official to defy Armand vanished.
Ben Price – For truth? That’s why Scott Jones got a promotion?
Eddie Vega – Valora complained and Armand listened.
Armand pulls Charlie to his feet and shoves him backward into the cage. Then, he palms Charlie’s face and shoves the back of his head into the iron cage and releases just as the lights switch off and the ring is imbued with the blue light of the electricity arcing across it. This time focused on Charlie Feigel.
Charlie screams out in pain as his body twitches from the lightning arcing across his body from the cage. The lights come back on and Charlie drops to his knees and grabs the middle rope for support so he doesn’t land fully onto the ring apron. Armand kicks him in the ribs and drapes Charlie’s throat over the middle rope and uses it to slingshot the back of Charlie’s head against the cage wall!
Armand grabs Charlie and throws him over the ropes and back into the ring where he follows. Charlie clutches at the back of his head and notes that it comes away wet with blood. He goesn’t have the time to get back up to his feet when Armand kicks him in the face, sending blood and spittle splattering across the ring.
Ben Price – How brutal!
Eddie Vega – Charlie knew what he was getting into. Well, he had opportunity to watch Armand’s past matches from different companies.
Armand pulls Charlie up and into a front face lock so that he ca begin the motion for his finishing move, the Drilltip. Charlie acts on instincts and grabs Armand by the legs and lifts him up while still being held in the front face lock. He takes a few steps while holding Armand, turns, and hotshots Armand’s throat across the top rope!
Charlie is slow to get up, but he still beat Armand to his feet and hits him in the groin with a wheelbarrow kick that he calls the Nutz Cracker! Armand drops to his knees and then doubles over in pain. Charlie follows this up with an ax kick to the back of the neck to plant Armand’s face onto the mat.
Ben Price – Yeouch. What devastating kicks!
Eddie Vega – Yeah they were. I wouldn’t want to be Armand right about now.
Charlie pulls Armand up and whips him into the corner. He runs over and hits an avalanche before lifting Armand up onto the top turnbuckle. He climbs up to the top turnbuckle as well and pulls Armand up to join him. Charlie starts going for a brainbuster, but Armad blocks getting ito the suplex position. Charlie tries to get him up again, but Armand blocks again. Charlie tries a third time, but Armand breaks out of the hold!
Armand lifts Charlie up to be across his shoulders, still on the top turnbuckle. He throws them both backward like a coffin drop to smash the side of Charlie’s head and legs into the iron cage corner! Both men fall to the ring apron. Armand gets up quickly and palms Charlie by the face in an iron claw and pulls him up to slam the back of his head against the iron cage over and over again until the lights flicker out. As the glow of the blue lightning crawls across the ring, Armand holds Charlie’s head against the cage and laughs as the electricity shocks them both. Charlie’s muffled screams can’t be heard over Armand’s laughter and the humming of the iron cage.
Once the lights come back on, Armand drops Charlie to the ring apron and shakes his hand with some mild pain, flicking black blood around the place. A bite mark can be seen closing up on his hand from where Charlie had bit him in trying to get away from the electric cage. Charlie lays on the ring apron and bleeds from the wounds on his head.
Ben Price – That was horrific.
Eddie Vega – That’s what you should expect from Armand!
Armand steps into the ring and reaches into his tights, the crowd booing as they think that he’s going for a weapon. Instead, he pulls out a golden cigarette case and opens it up to get out a lighter and an Egyptian cigarette. He lights the cigarette while watching Charlie bleed onto the ring apron outside of the ring. Armand puts the case away and takes a long drag from the cigarette, blowing the smoke into the air.
Armand von Krauss – Do you regret it now, Charlie? Do you regret challenging me? Come on. Don’t let this be the final time that we meet in the ring. You wanted three matches. Can you not even finish one?
Charlie grits his teeth and grabs the ropes to use to pull himself up to his feet and re-enters the ring.
Charlie Feigel – I…will…stop you.
Armand von Krauss – Better men have tried. Maybe I’ll make you submit tonight.
Charlie Feigel – Never…
Armand von Krauss – Better men have said that too.
Armand goes to grab at Charlie, but gets caught in the jaw with a superkick that Charlie calls the Sidewinder. He then walks over to his corner and picks up the kendo stick. As Armand starts to get up, Charlie slams him over the back and head over and over again until the kendo stick shatters from so many solid impacts. He tosses the hilt to the broken kendo stick to the side and grabs Armand and delivers a powerbomb lungblower that he calls the career crasher.
Charlie walks over to the corner to grab his roll of barbed wire and connects one end to the iron cage. He begins to unspool the barbed wire until he can wrap some of it around Armand’s right arm. He releases the barbed wire just as the lights go out. The blue lightning travels from the cage along the barbed wire to Armand, who lets out a roar of pain as the energy courses through his form.
Ben Price – Kind of genius to use the barbed wire like that.
Eddie Vega – He’s going to make Armand mad.
Ben Price – Well, yeah.
Eddie Vega – And so it’s really going to hit the fan. Remember how he fought Eron Hunter?
Ben Price – Oh no.
Eddie Vega – Oh yeah!
Oce the lights come back on, Armand begins to unspool his arm from the barbed wire. Charlie yanks it away from him and begins to whip him with the barbed wire. Armand grunts as his back is lashed open, black blood spilling from the wounds before the wounds start sealing themselves up.
Armand stands up and Charlie drops the barbed wire so that he can poke Armand in the eyes and run for the ropes. On the rebound, he hits a big running boot to the face that drops the blinded Armand to the mat. Armand gets to all fours to start getting up when Charlie stomps on his right hand! Armand rears up with a yelp of pain as Charlie goes to the ropes and comes back with a bulldog! He rolls Armand over for the cover. Scott Jones gets into position for the count!
….One
……Two
……..Th-Armand kicks out!
Charlie gets up first, watching as Armand sits up to roundhouse kick him in the mouth to send black blood and spittle spraying across the mat. Armand grits his teeth and stands up. Charlie goes for another roadhouse kick when Armand catches the foot.
Armand von Krauss – ENOUGH!
Ben Price – Uh oh.
Eddie Vega – It has hit the fan!
Armand pulls on the leg to pull Charlie into him and picks him up as if to do a bodyslam.
Armand von Krauss – We’ve played enough! Time to end this!
Armand doesn’t bodyslam Charlie, he throws him across the ring at the iron cage wall hard enough that the entire cage starts to tilt over as if to fall on the audience, who scream in fright as the lights go out and the arena lights up with the chaotic blue lightning. The cage falls back onto its place on the ring with a booming sound that silences the ring as Charlie is thrown back toward the center of the ring into a massive heart punch by Armand! Charlie hits the mat and twitches like a fish out of water from the heart punch.
Ben Price – That was…
Eddie Vega – Fuuuuuuck.
Armand goes to pick Charlie up, but he’s limp and won’t stand so Armand goes for the cover.
….One
……Two
……..Three!
Eric Wilson – Winner of the match via pinfall…Armand von Krauss!
Ben Price – I’m told this will not be the end of this. I’m told this is best 2 out of 3 matches. Armand Von Krauss is 1 up now1
Eddie Vega – Well that’s one cage, but the one later on will be even bigger! You have any other announcements while they take apart the smaller cage?
Ben Price – Actually yes, I’m told we need to do a recap of the special announcement that was made by Blasie McClancy and Jane Couglin on the Vanguard Preshow.
Eddie Vega – Yes, we’re moving to Vegas, baby!
Ben Price – yes, first up… after we go off the air tonight.. The CWF will be taking a two week break as we move our main offices from Pittsburgh…
Eddie Vega – The PITS-burg.
Ben Price – Pennsylvania, to Las Vegas, Nevada.
Eddie Vega – Much better climate, especially if you have asthma.
Ben Price – We’re doing this because… let me read this.
Eddie Vega – Oh I know it. There is no other quality wrestling found in or around Las Vegas. None. Open market. The rest of them are shit.
Ben Price – That’s pretty rough there. Didn’t Cross Recoba run a fed there?
Eddie Vega – Who?
Ben Price – Right. So, more than that though. Blaise McClancy has taken a position at Ik0n and is now in charge of the Trios Title Division… and on Season 3, Episode 1 in Los Angeles, the CWF will host the first tourney to crown the first Ik0n Trios champions.
Eddie Vega – The Bastards.
Ben Price – They’ve not won them yet.
Eddie Vega – Uhm, they have in our minds. The Bastards will own those titles. There is no other 3 man team in the CWF or iK0n that can stop them.
Ben Price – If you say so. But depending on how many teams sign up… any qualifier matches will be held on the Vanguard Show.
Eddie Vega – That is going to be awesome!
Ben Price – Looks like our crew is done taking down the smaller cage, leaving us with only the Star Chamber above us now. So let’s get to some Elite Title Action!
Eddie Vega – And at the end, someone is showing off their…
Ben Price – Don’t be crude.
Eddie Vega – Fun bags? Hooters? Mammaries? Boobs? Tits? Teats? Dude, it’s 2024, and this is on Pay Per View. We can be a bit crude!
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is for the CWF Elite Championship and it is a 3 Stages of Hell Match! The rules are that this match will be 2 or 3 smaller matches in 1.. The first match will be fought under ‘Pure Wrestling Rules’ and when a pinfall or submission is scored, the match will enter the second fall and will be fought under Falls Count Anywhere, Street Fight Rules. If needed, the third fall will be fought under I Quit Rules.
The arena lights dim, the crowd buzzes with anticipation. The opening notes of “Auf Auf” by Silbermond fill the air, igniting a surge of energy throughout the venue. Suddenly, a single sparkling rocket launches from the stage, soaring through the air and reaching the roof of the arena. The spectators erupt with excitement, captivated by the spectacle.
Eric Wilson – Ladies and gentlemen, from Dresden, Saxon, Germany, standing at 5’9” and weighing 158 lbs, representing the Future Shock Society, please welcome the powerhouse, Ravenna Vandenberg!”
The smoke billows from the stage, gradually subsiding to reveal Ravenna Vandenberg standing tall at the top of the ramp, her blonde hair noticeably longer since the last time. With a joyful smile on her face, she stretches her arms horizontally, with four fingers on each hand extended, symbolizing her nickname “E8” and her connection with the crowd.
Embracing the moment, Ravenna raises her hand to her heart, forming a heart-shaped hand sign, expressing her love and gratitude to her devoted fans. Dressed in her striking white two-piece attire adorned with angular black single stripes, she exudes a blend of dominance and cheerfulness.
Ravenna moves through the ringside area, interacting with the crowd, slapping high-fives, and exchanging fist bumps. The audience is energized, their excitement building as they anticipate her entrance into the ring.
Climbing the nearest turnbuckle, Ravenna flexes her muscles, showcasing her power for a captivating moment. The cheers of the crowd reach a crescendo, reverberating throughout the arena.
With a casual leap, Ravenna jumps down into the ring, landing with grace. She raises her arms, absorbing the electrifying energy emanating from the crowd, her smile shining brightly.
Taking her place in the corner, Ravenna Vandenberg, is ready to unleash her might. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as the audience knows they are about to witness an awe-inspiring display of power, passion, and an infectious smile, all ignited by the rocket that marked her entrance and set the stage for an unforgettable wrestling performance.
Ben Price – And this is one of the matches of the pay per view I’ve been waiting to see. Valora and Ravenna have had quite the feud recently, and one made more intense by the fact that Ravenna and Abbigail have become friends
Eddie Vega – Benny boy.. Only you would be excited by the other stuff. After this match, either Ravenna or Valora will be showing the crowd their fun bags. Maybe we’ll get lucky and the winner will take their top off too and we can decide whose breasts are more impressive!
Ben Price – I wouldn’t hold my breath
Eddie Vega – I got my phone ready to record either way, Benny boy!
Eric Wilson – And introducing next, She is the reigning, and defending CWF Elite Champion, Standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing in at 145lbs Fighting out of right here in Mexico City, Mexico.. The Hardcore Icon, VALORA SALINAS!!!
The crowd begins cheering as soon the city’s name is spoken, they quiet briefly as the lights in the arena dim and Valora’s voice is heard speaking:
Valora’s narration: – Life is because of the Gods. With their sacrifice they gave us life. They produce our sustenance which nourishes life.
The crowd explodes into cheers as ‘Bring It’ by Trapt plays over the PA and Valora rises up through the ground, she has something strapped to her back and in her left hand, she holds a ritual bowl, in her right, an obsidian dagger. She cuts her arm and watches her blood flow into the plate. She then sets it on a small altar behind her and lights the blood in the bowl on fire, before turning to face the ring and drawing the wicked looking Aztec macuahuitl she had strapped to her back and roaring out as the crowd cheers so loudly, the stadium starts to shake
Ben Price – U..umm did we just see what I thought we saw?
Eddie Vega – I..really don’t wanna be on this woman’s bad side.
For her part, Ravenna looks unmoved by the theatrics of her opponent, calmly and stoically waiting in the ring as Valora makes her way down, Ashley Beaton cuts Valora off demanding the weapons she carries be discarded before entering the room. Valora rolls her eyes and makes her way over to the commentary table and deposits the weapons. As she does so, Dr. Corgan heads over and tends to the cut on Valora’s arm. Valora finally climbs into the ring, removing the CWF Elite Championship belt and holds it up in front of Ravenna.
Valora Salinas – Close as you get chica. I own this fuckin’ belt!
Ravenna makes no response, just stands and stares at her opponent.
Ravenna Jaeger – Take as long as you want. First round is fought by my rules.
Valora hands the belt to Ashley Beaton who holds the belt up over her head before handing it to Eric Wilson as he leaves the ring.
Ben Price – Why someone would choose to honor a barbaric society like the Aztecs is beyond me.
Eddie Vega – A..are you insane. Benny, look at this… I don’t even know what it is… But I know I don’t want to be hit by it.
Ashley Beaton checks both fighters for illegal items and nods satisfied both fighters are clean
Eddie Vega – You know, Benny boy, I did some research and I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Valora is going to lose round 1 here tonight.
Ben Price – How can you possibly say that?!
Eddie Vega – Well.. I happen to know that for at least 1 year in high school, she wrestled for her high school wrestling team.
Ben Price – Uh huh. And Ravenna is an Olympic Gold Medalist. At the risk of being disrespectful to Valora’s high school, I’m gonna assume Ravenna has a pretty big experience edge here.
Ashley Beaton checks with both fighters and they get into position, Ravenna showing some surprise when Valora drops into a wrestling stance. Beaton calls for the bell after both fighters nod that they’re ready
DING!
The two engage in a collar and elbow tie up and Valora moves into a side headlock, hammering Ravenna with a closed fist, but Ashley Beaton quickly steps in, admonishing Val
Ashley Beaton – Watch the closed fists, Salinas!
Valora rolls her eyes. The two lock up again and Ravenna drops to a knee and takes Valora to the mat with a fireman’s carry takedown. Before Valora can recover, Ravenna pounces and locks Valora in a side headlock. Ravenna cinches it in, taking a knee as she increases the pressure on Valora’s neck.
Ben Price – And early on we see how Valora can struggle in this kind of match. It is totally counter intuitive to her way of fighting. Ravenna meanwhile is skilled enough to make a move as basic as a side headlock is considered to be a dangerous move as she putting pressure on Valora’s neck, cutting off her oxygen
Eddie Vega – Yeah. This round certainly favors Ravenna but she has to win one of two matches that are definitely the defending champ’s turf.
Valora tries to get out but Ravenna manages to hold firm for a bit. Finally, Valora sinks to a knee and is able to position herself before lifting Ravenna up, trying for an Olympic slam but fails to get enough momentum for it and in mid move improvises into a samoan drop. Valora tries to get up but she is on the mat trying to recover from having her airway restricted. Ravenna rolls over and gets to a knee, shaking her head at having the hold broken.
Ben Price – Like I said folks, Valora tried for the Olympic slam, but didn’t have the oxygen and leverage to get Ravenna up and down for it… the side headlock also kept Valora from following up on the improvised Samoan Drop
Ravenna moves over and measures Val, waiting for her to get up, moving to ensure she stays behind Valora. Valora gets to her feet and looks around, having lost track of Ravenna for the moment and Ravenna charges in hitting a German Suplex which she then bridges into a cover. Ashley Beaton drops down to make the count.
… One
…… Two
……… Th-NO!
Ben Price – Valora kicks out! Even with the kick out, Ravenna, as expected, is dominating this section of the match.. That was a beautiful German Suplex into a bridging pin.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, but it didn’t put Val away, Benny boy, and as long as Val is breathing, she has a chance to win.
Ravenna gets to her feet and pulls Valora to her feet. Valora counters with a small package, but Ravenna kicks out before Ashley Beaton can get down to make the count. Both women get to their feet and lock up in a collar and elbow tie up, Ravenna pushes Valora back into a corner the two women get very close to each other as they struggle Ravenna grabs Valora and lifts her up onto the top turnbuckle. Ravenna locks Valora and hits a belly to belly suplex from the top turnbuckle, landing on top of Valora and Ashley Beaton drops down to count.
… One
…… Two
……… Th-NO!
Ben Price – Once more, Valora kicks out! What a move a Belly to Belly Suplex from the top rope!
Eddie Vega – Umm am I the only one getting turned on? I mean Valora and Ravenna are ending up really close.. Like a lot.
Ben Price – You perv! This is pure wrestling, yes a lot of wrestling holds result in the fighters close to each other..
Eddie Vega – God I love this sport..
Ravenna and Valora get to their feet and Ravenna moves to lock up. Valora brings her to the mat with an armdrag. Ravenna gets up to her feet and charges for a spear but Valora jumps over it, running and rebounding off the ropes. Ravenna goes for a backdrop but Valora rolls over it and runs to the ropes rebounding. As she comes back, she spins around multiple times moving around and around Ravenna before bringing her to the mat with a spinning headscissors. She then mounts Ravenna, climbing on her back and locking in a Camel Clutch style move.
Ben Price – Camel Clutch! Valora made use of her lucha libre training and finally brought Ravenna to the mat after a series of acrobatics.
Eddie Vega – I want to say she’s got this, but Ravenna is bigger than Valora and is sort of close to the ropes!
Ravenna does indeed use her muscle mass to move closer, an inch at a time as she tries to reach out for the ropes.. Finally grabbing it. Ashley Beaton looks at Valora
Ashley Beaton – She’s in the ropes! Break the hold, Salinas!
Valora glares at Ashley Beaton and cinches in even more. Ashley Beaton begins counting.
1…
2…
Ben Price – Valora needs to break the hold!
Eddie Vega – Does she, though? Even if she’s disqualified from the whole match, she keeps her belt!
3…
4…
5!
Ashley Beaton calls for the bell And walks over to give her decision to Eric Wilson. Valora breaks the hold and stands up to hear what’s going on.
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, Referee Ashley Beaton has disqualified Valora Salinas from round 1 for failing to follow the referee’s instructions. Ravenna Jaeger is now up 1-0!!! The second round of the fight will now be fought under Falls Count Anywhere, Street Fight rules!!
The crowd boos at the decision and Valora smirks and shrugs as she slides out of the ring. She starts to grab her weapons but Beaton jumps on the bottom rope.
Ashley Beaton – Absolutely not!
Valora gives Beaton the finger but complies and reaches under the ring and grabs a baseball bat.
In the ring, Ravenna gets up and only barely dodges the swing from Valora. Ravenna backpedals and dodges another swing and steps into Valora grabbing her and bringing her to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Ravenna tries for an armbar and Valora rolls in towards Ravenna trying to reduce the pressure on her elbow and her arm. She breaks the hold with a thumb to Ravenna’s eye. Valora then grabs Ravenna’s legs and jumps into the air, falling into a seated position as she drives her feet into Ravenna’s gut.
Ben Price – Valora should have been disqualified from the entire match. That was a cheap tactic.
Eddie Vega – This way, Ravenna still has a chance to win, though. If Ashley Beaton had totally disqualified Valora, Valora keeps her title..
Ben Price – Well.. you actually make a good point there, Eddie
Eddie Vega – Hey, it happens once in a while!
Valora slides out of the ring and goes hunting for a weapon to find. Ravenna gets to her feet and slides out of the ring, ducking down, hiding from view and moves slowly, like a hunter stalking her prey. Valora pulls out a table and sets it up and turns, looking and realizing that once again, she has lost her opponent. Ravenna comes out of nowhere and spears Valora, sending Valora into the barricades at ringside, before turning, keeping hold of Valora and driving her into the ground, moving into a mounted position and raining down punches.
Ben Price – Ravenna gets one up on Valora!! The Elite champion is at the mercy of the German Amazon!
Eddie Vega – She’s undefeated in CWF for a reason, Benny boy, I wouldn’t count Valora out yet!!
Valora covers up and even throws a few punches from her back but she takes several clean shots plush on the face. Ravenna finally gets off when one of her fists draws blood and Valora’s hands drop and Ashley Beaton orders a break to see if Valora is unable to continue. No sooner does Ashley check than Valora recovers, gets to her feet and answers Ashley Beaton’s question. Ashley Beaton nods and restarts the match. Ravenna comes in and walks into a left jab from Valora, followed by another left jab. Valora dodges Ravenna’s return Ravenna catches Valora as she tries for hurrancanrana, picking Valora up and planting her on the mat on the outside of the ring with a powerbomb. Ravenna looks down at Valora who writhes in pain on the match.
Ravenna Jaeger – Enjoying yourself?!
Ben Price – and Ravenna getting used to this style of fighting. It is legal now, she can fight Valora on her terms without fear of breaking her code of conduct.
Eddie Vega – Well, I’m so glad Ravenna has permission to try and win the match.
Ravenna tries to pull Valora to her feet but Valora counters with a shot below the belt. Valora follows this up by clinching Ravenna’s head and firing a couple of knees to her face. Valora then nods, before jumping up, driving the point of her elbow into the back of Ravenna’s neck as she drives her knee into Ravenna’s face. Ravenna slumps to the ground and Valora plays to the crowd. Valora runs towards Ravenna as she gets up and tries for a move but Ravenna counters with a big time spinebuster, which leaves Valora on the ground curling into a fetal position as Valora can be heard laughing.
Ben Price – …That woman damages my calm.
Eddie Vega – Yeah.. I mean how do you beat a woman whose response to pain is…laughter? Valora is ENJOYING this, folks!
Ravenna pulls Valora to her feet, but Valora counters with a three punch combo to the body and ends it with an uppercut. She grabs Ravenna and bounces her head off the set up table. Valora reaches under the ring. Ravenna moves over and grabs Valora only to be cracked in the skull with a solid metal baking pan. Valora leads Ravenna back over to the table, once more bouncing her head off the table before laying her on the table.
Valora climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and leaps, hitting her variation of the Phoenix Splash that she calls the Aztec Moonsault, she drives Ravenna through the table and the crowd roars as chants of “Holy Shit!!” and “CWF!” break out. Valora positions her body on top of Ravenna’s and Ashley Beaton counts
… One
…… Two
……… Three!!!
DING!
Ben Price – Aztec Moonsault through a table and that is that! After 2 rounds, we’re tied up, folks!!
Eddie Vega – And now we go to a final match.. I Quit
Eric Wilson – The winner of round 2, by pinfall, is Valora Salinas!!! The match now stands at 1-1 and we go to the third and decisive round, fought under I Quit Rules!!
Ben Price – So now, the only way this match ends is when one fighter submits to the other by either saying I quit or being ruled unable to continue by the ref
Eddie Vega – That’s right, Benny boy!
Valora Salinas – Fuck it! Check her now!!
Ashley Beaton takes a mic from Eric Wilson and walks over and checks. Seeing Ravenna conscious she asks Ravenna if she wants to give up
Ravenna Jaeger – Nein! No!
Ben Price – Well, that’s no in both German and English. Guess Ravenna still has some fight left in her.
Ashley Beaton restarts the match. Valora shrugs and moves over, grabbing another baseball bat. Ravenna gets up and catches a bat in the stomach, doubling her over as Valora then hits her in the small of the back, bringing Ravenna to the mat again. Valora discards the bat and plays to the crowd again. Meanwhile, Ravenna slowly gets to her feet and She grabs Valora from behind and lifts her up, bringing her down onto the mat with a German suplex. Ravenna doesn’t let up, lifting Valora above her head as she power lifts Valora into a military press position and brings her down into a backbreaker, holding Valora against her knee and increasing the pressure as she orders Ashley Beaton to check. Ashley holds the mic close to Valora…
Valora Salinas – Fuck off, puta!
Ben Price – Guess that’s a no. But both fighters are starting to show the wear and tear of this match on them.
Eddie Vega – But I’ll give Ravenna credit. She’s hung in longer than I would have thought.
Valora is pulled to her feet by Ravenna who clubs Valora on the back with her forearm and then leads Valora over to the ring and rolls her inside the ring. As comes through the ropes Valora has gotten to a knee and jumps up, hitting Ravenna with the pele kick, knocking her to the mat. Valora rebounds off the ropes and as Ravenna gets to a knee, Valora jumps into the air and hits Ravenna in the side of the head with her trademark ‘Trouble in Paradise’ kick, the crowd roars as Ravenna hits the mat and Valora orders Ashley to check.
Ravenna Jaeger – NO!
Ben Price – Trouble in Paradise!! Valora has not pulled that move out in quite some time but she hit it and in a match with pinfalls, we might be looking at a win.
Eddie Vega – Ravenna is still in a bit of trouble, that kick had to knock her loopy.
Valora lets out a frustrated breath and walks over to Ravenna before hitting a standing moonsault. Valora pulls Ravenna to her feet for Ravenna to counter with a Bearhug. Valora fails about trying to escape as her body is crushed up against Ravenna’s. Ravenna, for her, part, cinches the hold in, lifting Valora off her feet . Valora, for her part struggles to free herself, punching Ravenna a couple of times but E8 maintains the hold and, in desperation, Val resorts to mind games, leaning in and kissing Ravenna on the lips, causing Ravenna to break the hold as she backpedals and looks at Valora who winks, even as she tries to catch her breath.
Ben Price – Well.. umm.. I suppose that is one way to break a submission hold. Valora again showing her ability to..improvise and think on her feet..
Eddie Vega – And two sets of boyfriends are jealous and/or turned on by that.
Ravenna growls and hits Valora with a speartackle, but instead of taking a mounted position, the rolls over and locks Val’s arm before locking in the crossface. Valora cries out in pain as Ashley drops down with the mic to check for a submission.
Valora Salinas – AAAAAHHHH PINCHE MIERDA PENDEJA NO!!!
Ben Price – Umm well the crossface is locked in tight and Valora is resisting… I think I got no. But this is how tired and how much pain is being inflicted, the fighters are resorting to their native languages.
Eddie Vega – Well listening to our Spanish announce table I feel confident in saying Val uttered a number of bad words and then said no.
Valora gets a foot on the ropes and Ashley orders Ravenna to break the hold, which she does.
Ravenna pulls Valora to her feet and she tries to go for a German Suplex but Valora gets her feet out and springboards off the top rope, coming down and hitting Ravenna with a modified backstabber, but is unable to take advantage as both women lay on the mat. Both women struggle to their feet and lock up, Valora moves Ravenna to a side headlock and Ravenna whips Valora into the ropes, Valora jumps over Ravenna who tries for a spear and keeps running, rebounding off the other ropes and ducks under a clothesline attempt. She rebounds off the ropes and hits Ravenna with a chop block behind the knee. Dropping Ravenna to a knee. Valora gets to her feet and rebounds off the rope and is cut off by Ravenna who rises to her feet and lifts Valora up for a spinebuster and plants Valora even as Valora hooks Ravenna and hits a DDT on Ravenna, both women once more ending up on the mat.
Ben Price – My god, these two have left everything out on the ring tonight and the crowd is cheering so loud, I can’t hear myself think!
Eddie Vega – Both fighters are both proving what the Elite title means.
Valora and Ravenna struggle to their feet and Valora plants E8 with a reverse STO and then immediately locks in her version of the Koji Clutch that she calls the Aztec clutch. Ravenna immediately struggles trying to escape the hold and Valora locks it on. Ashley grabs the mic and gets down to check on the hold and to ask Ravenna if she wishes to give up.
Ben Price – We could see it now! The Aztec clutch is locked in Ravenna however, is bigger than Valora and might be able to get to the ropes if she can last that long.
Eddie Vega – Not a chance, Benny boy. Valora is an expert at this move and look at how red Ravenna’s face is getting, moving into purplish colored! She’s running out of air!!
Ashley Beaton continues checking on the pair and moves in closer, checking on Ravenna before holding the mic and checking one more time
Ravenna Jaeger – ….A..alright!! I Quit!!!
Ashley Beaton jumps to her feet and calls for the bell, ordering Valora to break the hold which she does
DING!
Ben Price – Ravenna quits! Valora retains her title!!
Eddie Vega – You keep being surprised at this woman’s success
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner and STILL the CWF Elite Champion, Valora Salinas!!!
Valora takes the Elite title back and holds it up as she looks over at Ravenna struggling to her feet. Borrowing the mic from Eric Wilson, Valora slings the belt over her shoulder and walks over to Ravenna
Valora Salinas – You wanted to risk your shirt to get your first shirt back. Now, normally, I’d say I’m a pro wrestler and not the Madame of a strip club or something, but.. You pushed for this so..
Ravenna glares at Valora but lifts her shirt giving the fans a view of her breasts for a 5 count and then starts to take her shirt off but Valora stops her.
Valora Salinas – No, no.. you can lower your shirt. I won’t force you to walk back to your locker room, tits on display.
Ravenna nods and pulls her shirt down. Valora hands the mic back to Eric Wilson, climbs out of the ring and collects her weapons from the commentary desk as she heads to the backstage area.
Ben Price – Well fans.. There you have it. Valora wins 2-1 to retain her Elite title and continue her unbeaten streak in CWF.
Eddie Vega – A dominating performance from the Elite Champ. She’s definitely on a roll going into season 3.
Ben Price – And well, it’s that time!
Eddie Vega – Star Chamber!
Ben Price – Let’s do this… nothing to clean up here. Let’s bring the chamber down from the rafters and get this match started!
The fans in the arena are on tenterhooks waiting for the main event, but just before things are thrown over to the ring for the big announcement, the arena in plunged into darkness, prompting an “OOOOOOH” from the crowd.
A few moments pass, allowing anticipation to build, but then two words appear on the big screen. Two words written in a distinctive shade of neon green.
“PRAISE HIM.”
There’s a roar from the thousands in attendance here in Mexico as they realize who (or, perhaps what) is about to speak. When the words fade away to be replaced by a close- up of a man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask – a mask with the letter ‘J’ painted onto it in a shade of green that matches the writing – the roar grows all the louder. Janus, The J- Man, The God of Entrances and Exists, of Before and After – call him what you like, praise him if you will, worship him if you may, because he’s here.
His masked face almost fills the screen. There’s no room to focus on anything else. No distractions, no background – just the Two-Faced God and his words.
“During the latter half of the twentieth century, humankind trembled at the thought that a powerful man in an ivory tower might one day press ‘the big red button.’ Mortals trembled in their beds as they lay down at night, wondering if tonight would be the night. The Bay of Pigs. The Cuban Missile Crisis. The entirety of the Cold War. Wars waged by paranoid, weak-minded men, their chests puffed out like peacocks, drunk on their own power. Wars that could be ended by a single press of the fabled button, mythical as it might be. With one press, death would rain from the skies. With one press, life as mortals knew it would end. All would come to dust. No ground. No sky. No water. No land. Just deserts of glass and irradiated shadows. They called it mutually assured destruction, but that destruction never came.”
Watching a static, masked face speak is disconcerting. It’s not quite like being addressed by Anonymous in those internet videos of old, but it’s also not entirely dissimilar. Anonymous used the voice of a machine. This masked man speaks with the voice of Rob Riot, but not quite with Rob Riot’s words.
“Even today, when demagogues and would-be emperors make their threats, destruction never comes. The old fool in the White House is barely aware that the button is there. The other old fool who’ll soon replace him is no more capable. Across the water in Moscow, another who would dress in the clothes of an emperor has a button, but even he, in his madness, dared not use it. In Pyongyang, in Tel-Aviv, across India and Pakistan, there are buttons, but those in charge of the buttons are all weak, flawed men. Men who could press a button and bring death with a flash of Light. A million souls gone in an instant. Chaos is replaced by nothingness. Disorder is replaced by the eternal peace of oblivion. An end to suffering. An end to all things. And yet, humanity persists. And yet, humanity suffers. And yet mortals still quake in their beds, wondering if tonight will be the night. Well, quake no more, mortals, because I bring certainty. I bring truth. Because tonight there is a button, and the button will be pressed. But not by an old fool or a fallen emperor. “
The J-Man bows his head. From somewhere else, another voice speaks. A loud, booming voice.
“HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY. BUT OF THAT DAY AND HOUR KNOWETH NO MAN, NO, NOT THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN, BUT MY FATHER ONLY. BUT AS THE DAYS OF NOE WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE.”
The words are so loud that they echo, but then they fade. As they do, Janus looks back up.
“Matthew 24:36. The words of your god, according to some. They say that no man shall know the time and day of the end of all things, but the telling of the tale is imperfect. They’re words spoken by man, written by man, and distorted by time. Man says that no human can know the time. I say that the time is tonight. The button shall be pressed. Order shall step into chaos. Four souls will see the Light, and all men will fall. When they do, the Light will surround the one who stands above them. The one for whom all shall continue. I am the beginning and the end. And how fitting that all of this should take place within a vestibule named for the pinpricks of Light in the heavens; the stars themselves. A star chamber, indeed.”
Very slowly and very gently, Janus shakes his head.
“There will be five bodies in that chamber, but only one star. Five competitors, but only one who, quite literally, can press a button. Only one who can exercise control. Only one who can decide when and how the end shall come. The power is vested in me, and unlike those born of flesh and doomed to rot, I have no reservations about using it. This world requires a champion, and that is the role that this vessel has been chosen to perform. It is not the business of any man to interfere. Tonight, He shall be Risen. Tonight, he shall bring the Light. Tonight, he shall rain death from on high. And you, chosen witnesses, blessed mortals – you shall praise him. As my will, so mote it be.”
The big screen fades out.
It’s showtime.
Ben Price – And Rob Riot, or Janus Man tonight, delivering his message!
Eddie Vega – Oh, I do hope he retains tonight!
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time for our MAIN EVENT of the Evening. The following is the Star Chamber match for the CWF Conquest Championship!
The large metal structure is still lowering around the ringside area. It’s a solid cage like structure, with 5 large primary stanchions. Inside of it are 5 ‘pods’ with their own doors. There is also a large door on the side of the cage, to allow people inside when they come down.
Eric Wilson – This will be a 5-person elimination match. Everyone will come down and enter the cage, and then be placed into their pods. A randomizer will allow two people to then be free to enter the ring. Every 5 minutes another will be added. One exception to that is the current Champion, Rob Riot aka the Janus Man…. he is guaranteed to be last to enter, UNLESS he hits the button in his pod, which will override and he will take the next entrant’s place if he pushes the button. As it is an Elimination match, the last person remaining will leave as the CWF Conquest Champion heading into Season 3!
Ben Price – Oh, I’ve been waiting for this match up!
Eddie Vega – Yeah, my bookies were pretty much not wanting to really play any odds on this match up. I mean you have Two Bastards, Two-Anti-Bastards, and well, El Gringo Diablo.
Ben Price – But this being an elimination type match, it could go for anyone. And the randomizer… who will be the first two in the ring?
Eddie Vega – Well, if Frank Windsor ends up in there at any moment, you’d have to expect Riot… err J-Man will come in next, to make it so that two bastards get the upper hand.
Ben Price – And we know that Greg Salazar and Kronin Reinhardt have made a pact to do the same thing.
Eddie Vega – Well, Kronin Riendhardt has already wrestled tonight, and is one half of the new CWF Tag Team Champions. With how long the Elite Title match was, maybe he’s recovered some… but is he really ready for a huge match like this?
Ben Price – Yes, this is the most competitive match in CWF history…
The cage finishes its descent down around the ring.
Eric Wilson – Lets get out combatants into their chambers. Introducing FIRST… from Las Vegas, Nevada… he comes in at 5’ 11” and 175 lbs… he is El Gringo Diablo!
Ben Price – The man who won his qualifier by default when Eoin O’Rourke refused to fight due to some contractual obligations.
Eddie Vega – And a man who is from the CWF’s new home come a few weeks from now. He’s a dark horse in this match tonight though… many have speculated that he doesn’t deserve to be in here.
Ben Price – Well, some could say that. He had the easy route to get here. But that means he’s also coming in pretty fresh, and no one can really make a strategy for something we’ve not seen much.
Eddie Vega – Well the experience of the other 4 competitors is just… astronomical. This guy needs to really have a plan and a good one to be the last man standing in this matchup.
Suddenly the lights cut out. It is pitch black and silent in the area. A familiar rainfall begins to echo throughout the arena. Flashes of light shoot illuminate the building as faux lightning rides through the arena. Crickets chirp through the PA system before a vicious guitar and drum beat bleed throughout the arena.
“ROOOOOOTS! BLOODY ROOOTS!”
El Gringo Diablo appears on top of the ramp to a mixed reaction from the fans. Fake blood falls from above, covering him. The sheen of the horns on top of his mask shine as the lights begin to raise slowly. He makes his way to the ring, slapping hands of those who have them outstretched on the way. Once he’s entered into the cage area, he heads to the furthest pod from the entrance, the one that has his name plate above it.
Eric Wilson – And next…
Cameras pan around the sea of anxious people who are cheering loudly at the showing of respect towards the Bastards. Suddenly, the cheering explodes as the loudspeakers crackle, all attention devoted to these very special proceedings. A large British Flag unfolds from the rafters and hangs majestically over the ring area, each ear expecting to hear the music of Frank Windsor.
The big screen started to show all sorts of British iconic sites. Children playing in the streets, football matches, police in the streets. The first few bars of “Hello” by Adele blares out before it seamlessly mixes into “Welcome to the Circus” by Five Finger Death Punch. Brilliant silver strobe lights flash through the arena as rainbow coloured confetti falls from the rafters. The screen now goes to show footage of Frank in his silver Mercedes convertible cruising the streets of Bradford, Yorkshire.
Eric Wilson: Introducing at this time; hailing from Bradford, Yorkshire, England. He is weighing in at two hundred and twenty two pounds. He is accompanied to the ring by his associate Sean Bean. This is Frank Windsor!!!
Ben Price – The first person to ever claim the Vanguard title prize. Not only is he in this match tonight, but if he doesn’t come out on top tonight, he can try again at any time for any title!
Eddie Vega – And the reason why J-Man is in this match tonight instead of Rob Riot!
The curtains at the top of the ramp way are pushed open and they emerge. The fans give a mixed reaction as Frank pushes through the curtains dressed in his Leopard print fur coat with Sean Bean just behind him. Natalia Santiago and Finn Corbyn walks through the curtains after them.Frank saunters down the ramp way, eyeing the crowd. Finn and Natalia enter the cage and go to where the Pod marked for Frank Windsor is located. They stand outside of it, waiting for him.
Windsor exhales slowly as he looks at his team waiting for him before smiling and acknowledging the fans in attendance with a royal wave. He reaches the ringside area and heads to his pod.
Looking around momentarily, Windsor stops at his pod, and doffs his leopard fur coat, handing it to Finn. He then enters the pod, and lets it shut.
Eric Wilson – Now coming to the ring… He is ONE HALF of the newly crowned CWF Tag Team Champions… coming in at 6’ 8” and 270 lbs. Hailing from Dresden He is “The German Suplex Machine” Kronin Rienhardt!
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 cage structure with a measured, deliberate pace as he enters.
He purposely goes by Frank Windsor’s pod and slaps on the plexiglass front a few times, before heading to his pod to be sealed in and wait.
Ben Price – One half of the new Tag Team champions. Could he make history tonight and become the first ever CWF Double champion?
Eddie Vega – As much as I’d hate to admit it, he could. But what’s with the slaps on Windsor’s pod there?
Ben Price – Well Kronin Reinhardt and Greg Salazar have formed an alliance for this match, and you have to admit, they’ve run a pretty successful psy-op on the Bastards. That looks just like a bit more of that poke and prod tactics that has helped break Rob Riot even more into becomign the J-Man again.
Eric Wilson – And introducing next… He was the inaugural and now former CWF Conquest Champion, the only ever 2 time, and technically current LWA Legendary Champion… coming in at 6’ 1” and 235 lbs… Currently hailing from the Emerald City of Seattle, Washington… he is “The Paragon” Greg Salazar!
“Limits”, a song by Bad Omens, but being covered by Greg’s own band, Cryptic Writings starts to play over the PA System as the former Marine steps out. He’s not accompanied by his long time manager, Ms. Fortune tonight. He makes a pose on the stage, sucking in the crowd’s reaction before he starts to walk down.
Ben Price – And the former CWF Conquest Champion, formerly known as Testuo Oni III joining us tonight after he’d beaten the now newly crowned Valor Champion in the qualifiers.
Eddie Vega – Well won’t go on about him beating Iro Waters. But, waters is as you mentioned it, the new Valor Champion after our Vanguard Pre-Show. But the key here is, will working with Kronnin Reinhardt help Greg Salazar become the first ever two time Conquest Champion?
Ben Price – We shall wait and see, but it’s partially up to the randomizer. Although one has to question if eventually he’ll take a bit of an issue with Larry Landsdowne over the use of the Paragon Monniker.
Like his ‘teammate’ tonight, he heads down with purpose. He does slap a fan hand here or there, but he doesn’t hangout, outside the cage for too long.
He also finds Windor’s pod first. He doesn’t slap it a couple times but full on body checks it and makes faces at Windsor on the inside before giving him a double ‘bird’ salute and heads to his pod to get sealed inside.
Eddie Vega – Well, that was rude.
Ben Price – Well, Salazar has said that he pretty much HATES Frank Windsor. He dislikes Rob Riot, but hates the guy he started calling Limey Trump.
Eddie Vega – I hate that nickname.
Eric Wilson – And now, our final combatant. He is the CURRENT CWF CONQUEST CHAMPION… coming in at 6’ 3” and 245 lbs.. Fighting out of Blackpool, England…normally known as “The Riot Star” Rob Riot but…. tonight he will be known as the Janus Man!
Every light in the arena shuts off.
We’re totally in the dark until a series of pinpricks of light appear down the entrance ramp – tiny beacons of green, illuminating nothing more than the walkway. Smoke drifts across the entrance, enveloping the beacons and making them hazy.
Eddie Vega – It’s been a LONG time since Rob Riot has put on this mask… this means the shit has hit the fan.
Just “What’s In Your Mind” explodes through the house PA, an enormous Guy Fawkes mask appears on the big screen, marked with a painted-on green letter ‘J.’ By now, the boos are ringing out. On the stage, a line of men appear, all clad in simple robes. In the middle of them, dressed identically, is Janus. His face is hidden by a Guy Fawkes mask identical to the one on the big screen. Slowly, and in formation, the J-Man strides down to the ringside, flanked by his anonymous disciples. As he reaches ringside he turns and opens his arms out wide, prompting his disciples to fall to their knees before him, bowing in fealty, heads pressed to the floor.
Ben Price – Well this is a bit creepy.
Satisfied with their prostration, the J-Man takes the stairs up into the ring and steps through the ropes, taking his time to disrobe himself before finally, with a theatrical flourish, removing his mask. His eyes appear glazed. He takes a short moment, and hands the CWF Conquest Championship to Referee Scott Jones.
As Jones walks around holding the title up indicating it is on the line, the J-Man leaves the ring and heads for his pod.
Once he enters, the big red button on the side lights up and we now wait. J-man seems to be talking to the tattoo on his right arm as we all wait for the bell.
Scott Jones hands the title off to a ring attendant who then leaves the cage with Eric Wilson. He gives another moment, checking that each combatant is safely in their pods.
And he signals and the bell rings to start the matchup
DING!DING!
Suddenly a pulsating tone plays throughout the arena, and the lights on the pods start to randomly blink on and off. It stops on El Gringo Diablo’s pod first and opens.
Ben Price – And the long shot is first in the ring!
Eddie Vega – Not looking good for him then. I’d prefer to have been 4th, or if Riot entered to even up things, 5th!
Ben Price – No lie was detected there.
El Gringo Diablo steps out of his pod, and heads into the ring. The lights start to blink again, and come up on Greg Salazar!
Eddie Vega – Okay, that’s not the best one for Gringo here…
Ben Price – Well, it’s no secret, Greg Salazar grew up in his teenage years in Las Vegas. Wonder if they know each other? Maybe went to rival high schools?
Greg Salazar’s pod opens and he rushes out, this time going by Frank Windsor’s pod and pounding on the plexiglass, followed by Riot’s before he slips into the ring.
Ben Price – And more mind games with the Bastards.
Eddie Vega – Can I say, that’s almost creepy?
Salazar comes up to his feet and puts his hands up to Gringo in a non-aggressive nature. He starts to talk to him, and points to the Bastard’s pods as he does.
Ben Price – One guess, he’s trying to get Gringo to agree to a parley where he helps the Anti-Bastards-Alliance.
Eddie Vega – You’re making it sound like that’s a new stable name or something?
Ben Price – Well there is still a question out there, is this the start of a new and maybe improved Future Shock Society?
Eddie Vega – God I hope not.
Gringo seems to be listening and he looks around, as if asking the crowd. They cheer and holler at the prospect. So Gringo nods in agreement. Salazar turns and walks to a corner, and starts to stare, alternating between Windsor and Riot/J-Man.
Ben Price – looks like it’s 3 against 2 now!
But, Gringo apparently has other thoughts… He rushes forward and hits Salazar with a stinger splash in the corner. He then pulls the former champion out with a waistlock and takes him over with a release German Suplex, but Salazar rolls with it, comes up and gets into a fighting stance.
Eddie Vega – Okay, not sure that was a good idea Mr. Gringo!
As Gringo gets up to his feet, he turns right into a Mic Drop spinning heel kick that catches him on the cheek/chin. Gringo stumbles backwards and hits the ropes. Salazar is right there, grabbing him and locking in his reversed leg capture and half nelson for a Ring Toss Suplex.
Ben Price – Yeah, that wasn’t a good idea.
Salazar moves in, and pulls Gringo up to his feet. He puts one of Gringo’s arms over his neck, and then lifts him up into a bear hug to start. He takes a few steps to the middle of the ring before he puts his arm over Gringo’s head.
He slams his fist a few times into Gringo’s side, and kidneys. Then he switches up to a ridge hand strike, concentrating on those areas again. A moment later he hooks an arm around Gringo’s head, and lifts him up like for some sort of suplex… before planting him face first down to the mat.
Ben Price – Cradle Facebuster, he calls that the Bass Drop!
Salazar looks around, and checks the timer up on the big screen. He then goes down and locks the semi-prone form of El Gringo Diablo into the Gun Metal Lock (Fka the Iron Fiddle), his death pistol armbar submission.
Scott Jones is right there, checking on Gringo as Salazar wrenches the hold more and more.
Gringo doesn’t seem to wait for damage to be done and he taps out!
Ben Price – Gringo tapped!
Eddie Vega – Glad I didn’t take the bet on that long shot!
Eric Wilson – El Gringo Diablo has been eliminated!
Salazar lets him go and pushes him away as he gets up. The timer shows it’s got another 30 seconds before the next person enters.
Scott Jones helps Gringo get out of the ring, so he can be removed through the door of the cage by one of the attendants.
As Gringo is helped through the door, the timer comes down from 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… the sound goes off again and then the lights on the final two pods start to blink… until it finally comes up to… Kronin Rienhardt!
Ben Price – It’s Kronin!
Eddie Vega – Will they fight or is the alliance in place?
Ben Price – If that alliance is in place, then the next person to enter the ring will be in a 2 to 1 disadvantage!
Eddie Vega – This can’t be fair!
Ben Price – Like it would be fair if it were the Bastards doing that? If it had been Windsor, Riot, err J-man would be hitting that button making it two bastards versus one Salazar until Kronin could enter.
Eddie Vega – That’s different.
Kronin’s pod opens and he steps out, having to duck as he does. He climbs up into the ring and approaches Greg Salazar. The two men exchange some words, but then lock hands into a handshake in the middle of the ring.
Ben Price – Well, unless Kronin Reinhardt pulls a Gringo, that answers our question. Frank Windsor has his work cut out for him when he enters in 5 minutes.
Eddie Vega – Kronin has already wrestled tonight, so 5 minutes is a good bit more recovery for him.
Ben Price – Well, Greg Salazar just pinned El Gringo Diablo here, so… 5 minutes is a good recovery time for both of them.
Eddie Vega – Your wife would agree, 5 minutes is a good recovery time.
Ben Price – What?
Reinhardt climbs up into the ring, going over the top rope. He steps in towards Salazar and the two of them fist bump. They both then head to the corner closest to Frank Windsor’s pod, and take a relaxed stance. Reinhardt leans against the ropes, while Salazar climbs up to the turnbuckle and takes a seat.
Eddie Vega – Are they actually going to run the timer down and just wait for Frank’s pod to open up?
Ben Price – Looks like it.
Salazar and Reinhardt appear to be having a conversation in the ring, where the camera can’t really pick it up fully. But the words that are picked up are basically, about music and rock bands.
Eddie Vega – This is not looking that good with them just standing there in front of everyone.
Ben Price – They’re doing exactly what they said they would do.
The timer display suddenly drops from 3 minutes to 30 seconds. At this moment the two people in the ring don’t realize this.
Ben Price – The timer just lost about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, we’re now getting over our headsets that Armand Von Krauss has decided that if they’re going to stand around the ring, he’s going to speed things up.
When the timer hits 10 seconds, the alarm goes off like before, and the countdown comes up on the main screen 10…9…8…7…6… Reinhardt and Salazar both get ready in the ring, not appears too surprised at this change of timing.
J-Man feigns that he’s about to hit his button… hovering his hand over it.
5…
He’s still not hit it.
4…
Nope, not yet.
3…
J-Man pulls his hand back but then puts it back up onto the button.
2…
He still doesn’t push the button.
1…
0…
J-Man pushes the button, but it’s already 0 on the timer, so Frank Windsor’s pod opens up
Windsor rushes out and hits the ring. Sliding under the bottom rope. He’s met by both Salazar and Reinhardt as he enters. He starts trading punches, one to each of the two allies in the ring.
Ben Price – And Windsor does not back down. I was expecting him to try to hide in his pod or something.
Eddie Vega – He could try, but he’d still have 5 minutes until J-Man comes in. Might as well just jump in and go for it.
After a bit of trading blows, Windsor appears to rake Reinhardt’s eyes, and poke Salazar in the eye. He then backs up and climbs through the ropes to the apron. Reinhardt recovers first, and moves into try to pull Windsor back in. Windsor grabs the much taller man, and drops down off the apron, across the top rope. Reinhardt falls backwards as Windsor climbs back up. He pulls back and flips over the ropes into a slingshot lariat he calls Yorkshire Love. He hits Reinhardt as he’s coming back up to his knees.
Ben Price – And Frank Windsor is fired up here!
Windsor turns on Salazar once the bigger man is down. He grabs Salazar’s arm, and locks in the wristlock. He gives it a couple of good pulls, before pulling Salazar into a short-arm lariat.
Eddie Vega – The Decapitator!
Windsor pulls Salazar up and pulls his head in between his legs, and packages him up, lifting into a pile driver position. Windsor drops down, with the piledriver. He rolls Salazar over and tries for a pinfall.
… One
…… Two
… Reinhardt drops down with a leg drop across Windsor’s head, stopping the pinfall.
Ben Price – And Windsor putting the fight to the other two men in the ring.
Reinhardt pulls Windsor to his feet, and then he whips him to the ropes. Reinhardt catches Windsor as he comes off the ropes with a huge spinning side slam. He tries to go for a pinfall as well.
… One
…… Two
Windsor kicks out, barely getting a shoulder up. Reinhardt comes up first, and pulls Windsor up to his feet again. Reinhardt hooks Windsor and then takes him up and over in a Saito side suplex that launches Windsor a full body length away in the ring.
Salazar hits the ropes and comes off with a 2nd rope springboard landing on Windsor’s shoulder and upper arm with a double foot stomp. Salazar heads over to Reinhardt as he gets up and says something, which gets a nod in return.
Kronin Rienhardt and Greg Salazar both pull Frank Windsor up to his feet, where Reinhardt puts him into a double chickenwing from behind. Salazar lines up, and starts with a low cutting kick to Windsor’s thigh, then his exposed ribs, then follows up with a spinning back elbow, and then the spinning back fist to complete a mosh pit signature.
The timer on J-Man’s pod also drops down, coming close to the 10 second warning!
Ben Price – And now that the allied force of Kronin Rienhardt and Greg Salazar start to get an upper hand on Frank Windsor get the upperhand, the timer just changed again!
As Kronin Reinhardt takes Frank Windsor over in a tiger suplex, and tries to bridge it, the alarm goes off and Rob Riot/J-Man’s pod opens. J-Man comes out of the pod just as the pinfall is being attempted.
… One
…… Two
J-man reaches into the ring, and grabs Windsor’s head and pulls, breaking up the ping and pulling him out of the ring to give him a recovery. J-Man then climbs up the steps, then the ropes, and he comes off with a flying forearm that hits Greg Salazar in the chest. J-Man hits the ropes and hits Reinhardt with a running knee to the face as he’s getting up to his knees!
Eddie Vega – Thank you Armand Von Krauss! Now, it’s 2 on 2! May the best team secure the best winner and best future Conquest Champion.
Ben Price – Card subject to change…
J-Man heads back to Salazar and hooks him up for a fisherman’s suplex. He takes him over quickly, and tries to get the bridge for a pin.
… One
…… Two
Salazar gets his shoulder up. J-Man tries to roll, trying to keep the Salazar locked, as he rolls to try for another move. He locks in a front facelock, and Salazar goes for the scorpion kick to counter, but J-Man had that scouted and he lets Salazar drop to the mat in the attempt, and follows up with a fist dropped right to Salazar’s face.
Ben Price – Well the scorpion kick didn’t work!
Eddie Vega – First time there!
J-Man quickly tries to lock on his Heel Hook, but just as he cinches it in, Reinhardt grabs him from behind and takes him over in a release belly to back suplex.
Ben Price – And Kronin Rienhardt is there again with the save.
Windsor comes back up to the ring apron, and looks to be trying to assess the situation. He watches for a moment. He slowly gets in as both Salazar and Reinhardt bring J-Man up to his feet. Salazar whips J-Man to the ropes, and Reinhardt catches him as he comes off with a huge discuss style clothesline. As Reinhardt goes for a quick pin attempt, Windsor rushes in with a low flying enzuguri to Kronin Reinhardt.
Greg Salazar moves in and tries to hook Frank Windsor up for a Ring Toss Suplex, but Windsor gets free, turns it around and into an exploder suplex of his own. Windsor moves in on Reinhardt as he’s the one recovering quickets. He moves to whip him to the ropes, but stops it short, reverses it and gives him a good old fashioned arm ringer.
Ben Price – Okay, now I’m starting to get to where I might start biting my fingernails.
Eddie Vega – Why?
Ben Price – Someone is just 3 mistakes away from being the Conquest Champion heading into Season 3!
Windsor pulls the arm ringer, trying to keep the taller combatant off his balance a bit. Just as J-Man gets to his feet. J-Man moves in, and grabs Reinhardt’s other arm and gives it a good ringer as well. J-Man calls out, and both he and Windsor put one foot up onto Rienhardt’s shoulder/neck and fall backwards, executing a double “Eat De-feet” on the giant of a man.
Eddie Vega – Yes!
Ben Price – Bastards now working together like a well oiled machine.
Eddie Vega – Well, they have been tag champions before. Kronin Reinhardt is a tag champ, but with his twin sister…. Not Greg Salazar.
Ben Price – Well technically Greg Salazar is still a tag team champion as well, just not CWF and his tag partner isn’t here. His tag partner is about the size of Kronin Rienhardt, however.
Eddie Vega – Not CWF, doesn’t count.
Both Bastards move on Reinhardt to continue their attack. As soon as they grab him, he breaks out a series of chops and ridgehands between the two, all using his right hand. Chops for J-Man and ridge hands for Windsor. He finishes with a huge elbow to the top of J-Man’s head, followed up by an ax-kick that drops him down. When Windsor comes in, Reinhardt kicks him in the midsection and setsup for a suplex. He lifts Windsor up, and holds him there for a moment…
Ben Price – And Kronin Reinhardt takes on both Bastards and gets the upper hand.
Eddie Vega – What is Salazar doing?
The Camera pans as Greg Salazar is climbing to the top turnbuckle in the nearby corner. Kronin Reinhardt holds onto the vertical setup for a few more seconds as Salazar gets ready and then drops down into a huge brainbuster. Reinhardt moves quickly, as Salazar pulls a rare move out, hitting a springboard split legged moonsault out, that lands solidly on Frank Windsor.
Ben Price – Holy!
Eddie Vega – Well that’s gotta be a desperation move!
Before Salazar can go for a pinfall, J-Man comes up and grabs him, pulling him up. He puts him into a reverse facelock and slams him down with a headlock driver. Salazar looks to have been spiked when he hits it.
Ben Price – That looked like it hurt.
Eddie Vega – Sure did. Don’t think Greg Salazar will be up anytime soonish.
J-Man moves in and grabs Reinhardt’s head and starts to deliver some head-to-knee action on him. Frank Windsor looks to be recovering as well. While Reinhardt is still on his knees, J-Man grabs him into a front facelock, and sets his arms into a hammerlock before doing a short distance DDT.
Ben Price – Riot, err J-Man doing most of the work here.
Windsor comes in to grab Reinhardt and work him back up to his feet. He ducks down and scoops the giant man up onto his shoulders. Before he can deliver a death valley driver, Reinhardt starts to elbow him to the side of the head. Windsor drops to one knee, while Reinhardt keeps throwing elbows. Once he can, he starts adding knees in every couple of blows. J-Man moves in and delivers a superkick.
Ben Price – And the Bastards have the upperhand.
Eddie Vega – Of course they do.
Ben Price – Looks like Greg Salazar is recovering in the corner.
Greg Salazar comes up from where he had landed, using the ropes to work his way back to his feet. J-Man notices him, and diverts to keep a fresher man from joining the fray. J-Man lines up while Windsor and Reinhardt are still fighting. He comes sailing in and looks to be going for a high leg clothesline or lariat on Salazar. Salazar ducks and pulls the top rope down. J-Man catches the rope with his lower leg, but the angle causes him to tumble to the floor.
Ben Price – Rob Riot, errr J-Man just landed pretty hard, falling out of the ring.
Eddie Vega – Greg Salazar just saved himself from that same fate. If that move had hit, he’d have been taking a nap on the outside.
Reinhardt grabs Windsor into a rear waistlock. Windsor tries to get out of it, as Reinhardt looks over his shoulder and calls out to Salazar. Nods are exchanged and Reinhardt pushes forward, and slams Windsor’s chest into the turnbuckle, and then pulls back into a roll with the waistlock, comes up and then finishes his version of the Chaos Theory suplex. But Greg Salazar bounces off the nearest ropes and hits a Backstabber on Windsor as he’s coming down with the suplex!
Ben Price – Holy shit!
Eddie Vega – Isn’t that the finisher Tetsuo Oni and Jason Lobo used?
Ben Price -Yes, German suplex into a backstabber, but Kronin Reinhardt did it off a Chaos Theory suplex instead.
Eddie Vega – I think that Frank Windsor is broken there.
Reinhardt comes up, but as he’s trying for the pinfall, he sees J-Man coming up onto the ring apron. He sprints over and grabs J-Man and hooks his shoulder, and then hip tosses him back into the ring. Salazar takes the moment to get the pinfall on Windsor.
… One
…… Two
……… Three
Ben Price – Frank Windsor is out of there!
Eddie Vega – And it’s undeniably two on one now. This isn’t fair!
Eric Wilson – Frank Windsor has been eliminated!
Ben Price – You’d not be saying that if it was Windsor and Riot against someone else.
Eddie Vega – Of course not, then it’s following the rules the Bastards use… they’re not supposed to be used against them.
Ben Price – Did you just hear what you said?
Eddie Vega – Yeah? So?
Reinhardt lets J-Man work his way back up to his own feet. Once he’s there, Reinhardt grabs him into a rear waistlock and lifts up. Salazar runs to the ropes in front of them and comes off with a kabar kick right as Reinhardt takes J-Man over with a German suplex. He tries to bridge it and get a pinfall.
… One
…… Two
J-Man twists and gets his shoulder up!
Ben Price – the tide has turned against J-Man here. Riot needs to do something, and quickly.
Eddie Vega – I’m not liking this situation at all.
Ben Price – You ended up making a bet didn’t you?
Eddie Vega – Hey, odds might not have been showing a good payout, but other than a $10 on Gringo, I put it all on the Bastards, of course.
Reinhardt is joined by Salazar as they both pull J-Man back up to his feet. Salazar breaks for the ropes, as Reinhardt ducks down to try for an olympic slam. As he lifts J-Man up, Salazar apparently going for another double team move, J-Man rakes Reinhardt’s face, causing him to drop the defending champion.
Salazar recovers, and doesn’t go for the move. Instead he comes up behind Riot and tries to hook him into a full nelson.
Ben Price – He’s going for it!
As soon as he feels the full nelson starting, J-Man drops down to his rear end, hooking Salazar’s head as he does. It’s not quite a cutter, but enough of a surprise that it puts a full on stop to what Salazar was planning. Salazar falls and rolls out of the ring and goes on a quick walk about.
Eddie Vega – Go for it.
J-Man gets ready, as Reinhardt comes in. He catches the bigger man, slapping him into a cobra clutch style sleeper hold. He kicks Reinhardt’s knee out from under him, causing him to fall to the other. J-Man then puts his knee to Reinhardt’s back as he pulls back hard. Trying to add as much possible pressure on the hold.
Ben Price – Riot… J-Man getting in a huge move here. Reinhardt has to be running out of steam as this match continues.
Eddie Vega – And that’s taking more out of his tank, fighting off a sleeper hold like that.
Scott Jones checks Reinhardt’s arm to see if he’s still there. The hand stays up!
Ben Price – Can J-Man hold on and put the tag team champion to sleep?
Scott Jones again checks Reinhardt’s hand, this time it still says up! Greg Salazar climbs back up onto the ring apron. and sees what’s going on. He slips back in and runs over with a huge shining wizard that hits J-Man right on target. J-Man releases the sleeper hold on Reinhardt who falls to the mat.
Ben Price – And this time it’s Salazar who saves Kronin Reinhardt from a bad situation.
Salazar hooks a full nelson onto J-Man, and tries to lift him up for a Memento Mori. J-Man flails about to block it. He finally brings his head back sharply, causing Salazar to let him go. When Salazar pulls away, some blood is visible coming from his nose.
Eddie Vega – Hell of a block there!
J-Man turns and hits a huge European uppercut on Salazar. He then grabs his arm, and pulls him in for an Eat De-Feet that bounces him back to the ropes. Salazar falls to the mat after failing to catch the ropes. J-Man gets up, runs to the ropes and comes off with a back senton onto Greg Salazar.
He tries for a pin!
… One
…… Two
…… The… No, Salazar gets his foot on the ropes!
J-Man gets up and lets Salazar roll over to his stomach to get up, but then he kicks Salazar hard to the ribs before starting to lock in a Omaplata, the Labell Lock.
Ben Price – J-Man trying for another submission here.
Eddie Vega – And he’s forgetting there is a literal giant in the ring!
Which is what happens next, as Kronin Reinhardt hits J-Man in the back with a huge cutting kick. He delivers another, and then another. J-Man finally lets the hold go and rolls out fo the way. Unfortunately for him, Kronin Reinhardt is on the hunt, and he doesn’t check on Greg Salazar, but instead keeps going. As Reinhardt pulls J-Man up, he takes a palm strike to the chin, followed by a European uppercut.
Reinhardt returns with a European uppercut of his own, and then a whip to the corner, and a follow in with a huge chop to J-Man’s chest. Salazar gets up to his feet and gives Reinhardt a signal that he’s good.
Ben Price – What are they planning?
Reinhardt pulls J-Man out of the corner, and pulls him into a powerbomb setup. He turns and then lifts J-Man up higher, turning it into a lifted jackknife powerbomb… the Metal Meltdown. Salazar hits the ropes on the other side and comes off, catching J-Man as he comes down with another Sniper Shot Backstabber.
J-Man falls hard, bouncing up on that impact and then his shoulder coming down onto Salazar’s face.
Eddie Vega – Damn, that was a rough landing!
Salazar rolls, holding his face and nose, which J-Man had hurt earlier with that reversed headbutt block. Reinhardt doesn’t hesitate and goes for the pin on the downed J-Man.
… One
…… Two
……… The… eee!!
J-Man gets his shoulder up an obvious half second too late!
Eddie Vega – NOOOO!!!!
Eric Wilson – J-Man has been eliminated!
Ben Price – We will have a new champion tonight!
Eddie Vega – This match was set up for the Bastards to Fail!
Ben Price – They had their timers cut down so they could get in there to make things even quicker.
Kronin Reinhardt doesn’t celebrate, as Scott Jones rolls J-Man out of the ring to clear it. Reinhardt turns to find Salazar who is starting to come up to his knees.
Ben Price – And with that, the alliance is over?
Reinhardt comes up behind Salazar and hooks him into a waistlock. He lifts Salazar up and takes him over with a huge German Suplex… keeping the waist lock held on.
Ben Price – What’s this?
Eddie Vega – I think Salazar might be a bit loopy, already. He’ll definitely be after this.
Reinhardt lifts up again, and drops down into another German Suplex, again keeping it locked. He does it again…. Still holding on.
Ben Price – Death by Suplex!
Eddie Vega – That’s three!
Reinhardt lifts again, and drops down again. He keeps the waistlock in place, and comes back up to a standing position. He lifts Salazar up high, and then takes him back and over, this time bridging the landing!
Scott Jones does a baseball slide to get into position.
… One
……. Two
………. Three!
Ben Price – He did it!
Eddie Vega – I don’t believe it!
Eric Wilson – Greg Salazar has been eliminated. The winner and your NEW CWF CONQUEST CHAMPION… KRONIN REINHARDT!!!
Now its time for celebration. As Reinhardt lets Jones raise his hand up.
Ben Price – Kronin Reinhardt is our new Conquest Champion… and making history as the first ever double champion in CWF History.
Eddie Vega – Well that alliance was short lived! Salazar got rag dolled at the end.
Reinhardt finishes the arm rise, and he goes to check on Salazar. He helps Salazar to his feet. Salazar looks to be a bit out of it, a good bit of blood coming from his nose, which doesn’t look to be crooked or broken, but one of his eyes is showing the signs of being blacked and starting to swell.
Scott Jones gets handed the Conquest Title by a ring hand, as well as Reinhardt’s half of the Tag Team Titles. Reinhardt takes both belts and holds them up in the air, now going into full celebration mode as Greg Salazar leans into a corner, and claps for the new champion.
Ben Price – What a weekend. What a show! We have three new champions, only one title stayed in place.
Eddie Vega – I only got a good payout on one damn match!
Ben Price – The CWF is now going on a two week vacation as we move out corporate HQ to Las Vegas… and then we’re off to Season 3… Our first show will be in Los Angeles, California as we start our Tour of the Western United States and Canada!
Eddie Vega – We’re moving to Vegas, baby!
Ben Price – Congratulations to our three new champions: Valor champion Iro Waters, Tag Team Champions Team Reinhardt, and new Conquest Champion, Kronin Reinhardt!
Eddie Vega – Don’t forget congrats to Valora Salinas for defending the Elite Title in a 3 stages of Hell match up tonight!
Ben Price – And this caps off Season 2… how can we top it for season 3?
Eddie Vega – Well we’ll have to see and find out. Looks like that’s it for our broadcast time tonight… stay tuned for Season 3 coming soon!
