Show Open

The show opens with the Patented CWF Camera Drone flyby over the crowd. It shows that it’s coming to you from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. As the drones go over the crowd a graphic display shows that 19,849 CWF fans have joined the show live in the arena, out of a capacity of 22,000 seats for a ringed sporting event. 

Fireworks go off as a scene comes onto the ConquestTron showcasing that this is the final Warzone before we get to Chicago, Illinois for Tribal Warfare. 

The drones come down to the announcers table and get in front of our announcers. 

Ben Price – Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to the final episode of Warzone for the CWF’s fourth season… after this we’re heading into Tribal Warfare… and we have a show to set that up for you tonight. 

Eddie Vega – But first, a quick recap from the end of Vanguard just a few days ago. We have a new Valor Champion in the rapping star, Mozzy Rella. 

Ben Price – That is correct, he won the Scramble Match for the Valor Championship, and he’s facing a hell of a challenge already at Tribal Warfare. 

Eddie Vega – She didn’t win the belt in the Scramble Match, what makes you think she’ll beat him in Chicago. 

Ben Price – Well she did pin him in the scramble match, and had two pinfalls… he won by being the last person to have a successful pinfall. But who are we talking about? But someone we might be seeing tonight. Testsuo Oni has been unmasked, and she is actually Akame McClancy.

Eddie Vega – The daughter of our Commissioner and his wife, the head of security. 

Ben Price – That’s true. But she’s supposed to be also facing Samael Drago tonight as he prepares for his challenge of the Conquest Title at Tribal Warfare. But that is up in the air, as she had to take Miguel Lanza’s place in the Valor Title Scamble. 

Eddie Vega – Which brings us to another thing that people have been asking about. Where are some of the CWF’s international stars. Well… dealing with the State Department. 

Ben Price – Yes, some have noticed that Abby Dresden and others like the Reinhardts haven’t been around. Well it was due to working visas and paperwork. We don’t need our stars, even the Caucasian ones stopped by ICE on the way to the arena. And for some of them that meant even proving they are dual citizens… like our Conquest Champion, Abigail Dresden who is a citizen of both the United States and Wales. 

Eddie Vega – But, a few of them have been taken care of, like Samael Drago and his teammate Viktor Kriegson. 

Ben Price – And as we mentioned, Drago is supposed to face Tetsuo… err Akame McClancy tonight. But we will also see Viktor Kriegson of the Eternal Grove as he faces off against one part of the nKo’s team for Tribal Warfare. The leader of the nKo once again, Madd Morales. 

Eddie Vega – And the big man is after some revenge after what Morales did to Vespertine a couple of shows ago. The Airdevil needs to be focused, because I’m not sure Armand Von Krauss will want another nKo loss. 

Ben Price – And that leads us to two other matches tonight. First up the nKo’s Gabriel Tuck taking on our Elite Champion, Greg Salazar. 

Eddie Vega – Salazar is the only member of Bad Company here tonight. But that’s not the main event, and it could be. 

Ben Price – No… main event tonight. Armand Von Krauss against Jerimiah Vastrix, and the winner of that match, their team… either the nKo or Bad Company will get the advantage at the start of the Tribal Warfare match up. 

Eddie Vega – What that means is that while it’ll start one on one, that team gets the next entry, as each team alternates new people being added until everyone is involved. 

Ben Price – I’m really looking forward to the Tribal Warfare match up. We might be rid of Armand Von Krauss. But we still have a whole show to get through here first. And we’re going to get things started tonight with a CWF Debut. 

Eddie Vega – Lots of those lately. And we’re here for it. We are about to see Ronnie McKnight as he takes on Lance Dewlock. 

Ben Price – Let’s get to the action in the ring. Take it away Eric for this match to get started. 

Singles Match – Ronnie McKnight vs Lance Dewlock

Eric Wilson – The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Featuring first the challenger, weighing in at 210 pounds…he is “Deathstorm” Ronnie McKnight!

The arena lights snap to black. A low, distorted growl rips through the speakers as “Piggie Pie” by Insane Clown Posse hits, and a deep red strobe begins to pulse like a warning siren. Smoke spills across the stage, thick and choking, as a lone silhouette steps through it.

“Death Storm” Ronnie McKnight emerges slowly, head down, shoulders loose, a crooked grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. He doesn’t rush. He stalks forward, rolling his neck, cracking his knuckles, soaking in the chaos of the music like fuel. Halfway down the ramp, he stops, looks out at the crowd, and drags a thumb across his throat before laughing under his breath.

At ringside, McKnight slides in under the bottom rope, pops to his feet, and throws his arms wide as the red lights flare one last time. He backs into the corner, eyes wild, grin gone now all business. The storm has arrived.

Ben Price – Ronnie McKnight’s debut on the War Zone. Unusual in that normmally debuts are held on Vanguard. 

Eddie Vega – I’m sure there’s some sort of reason behind this. 

Eric Wilson – And his opponent, weighing in at 186 pounds…he is Lance Dewlock!

“We Are the Champions” by Queen begins playing as Lance Dewlock walks out from the back to the cheers of the fans. He makes his way down to the ring, slapping a few high fives on the way. He rolls into the ring and pops up to a big boot to the face from Ronnie McKnight! The bell sounds to start the match almost as an afterthought as Ronnie kicks Lance down and puts the boots to him while clutching at the top rope. 

Ben Price – Ronnie getting a leg up on Lance Dewlock at the outset of the match.

Eddie Vega – Ha! Was that pun intended?

Ben Price – Whatever makes me look smarter.

Eddie Vega – Well, nothing will now that you’ve said that. 

Ronnie pulls Lance up and rakes his face with clawed fingers, leaving bleeding wounds across his cheeks. He follows this up with a few knife edge chops (the crowd going Wooo! For each one) and whips Lance across the ring. On the rebound, Ronnie takes him down in the center of the ring and begins to rain punches down on him as he mounts him. Referee Troy Reynolds tells Ronnie to get off and back away. Ronnie sneers at him, but consents to the instruction. 

Lance Dewlock gets back to his feet, but is taken down with a spinning elbow strike followed by a gutwrench suplex! Lance quickly sits up, but finds Ronnie running toward him to smash him in the face with a running knee strike! 

Ronnie McKnight stands over the downed Lance Dewlock and clutches at his own head for a moment.

Ronnie McKnight – C’mon, get up and fight! 

Ronnie McKnight – No, stay and be pinned! 

Ronnie McKnight – Make this an interesting match! 

Ben Price – Is he alright?

Eddie Vega – I’m going to go with…no.

Ronnie pulls Lance up to his feet and hits him with a spinning backfist that he calls Storm Warning that sends Lance right back to the mat! Ronnie shakes his head, probably in disappointment. 

Lance slowly gets to his feet while Ronnie watches. Lance blindly throws a punch, but Ronnie catches it with a laugh. He starts to whip Lance toward the ropes, but pulls him back for a hort-arm clothesline. He holds onto Lance to prevent him from falling to the mat just quite yet. He delivers a high-impact sit-out pop-up powerbomb transitioned immediately into a mounted ground-and-pound flurry of forearms, finished with a hard press and hooked leg in his finisher that he calls the Death Storm. Troy Reynolds gets into position for the count.

….one

……two

……..three! 

Eric Wilson – Winner of the match via pinfall…”Death Storm” Ronnie McKnight! 

Ben Price – Well, this wasn’t a test of Ronnie’s talents. Hopefully his next match will challenge him.

Eddie Vega – Yeah, but tonight was a glimpse of what Ronnie can do and that he might be crazy. 

Ben Price – Isn’t being crazy sort of par for the course around here?

Eddie Vega – It would seem so. 

Ben Price – Coming up next we have Gabriel Tuck as he takes on Greg Salazar in a non-title match.

Eddie Vega – Greg’s been having several non-title matches. What if he loses this one? What then?

Ben Price – Then they will have proven that they can take things at the War Games.

Eddie Vega – That it does. That it does. 

Ben Price – I’m told we’re going to the back really quick before we head to commercial break.

Segment – Eoin O’Rourke & Steve Murdock (Pt 1)

The ConquestTron lights up to reveal Eoin O’Rourke at a local hotel room. He’s sitting on the bed. Alex Nelson is in a nearby chair, tied up. 

Eoin O’Rourke – Have to admit that I’m pretty pissed that I didn’t manage to win the Valor championship. It makes me less pissed that Steve Murdock also did not win the championship. 

Alex Nelson – You were never going to win the title anyway! 

Eoin glances over at him, it looks like Alex has been beaten. The bruises on his face a dark purple. 

Eoin O’Rourke – Do we need to have another talk? 

Eoin gets a pair of brass knuckles from a bedside table, Alex sees it and looks down at the floor.

Alex Nelson – No…

Eoin O’Rourke – That’s what I thought. 

Eoin places the brass knuckles away and looks back to the camera.

Eoin O’Rourke – You know where your son is going to be. In the top cage, waiting for his father to come and save him. I’ll be waiting for you. 

Eoin laughs as the feed is cut. 

Elsewhere…Steve Murdock is watching television from his bed in a hotel room. He watches Eoin O’Rourke speak and grips the remote tight as he does so. By the time the video fades, Steve frowns. He pauses the feed and rewinds it, looking at the room. 

Steve Murdock – We’re in the same hotel! I’m going to get that fucker now!

Steve tosses a shirt on, grabs his trusty kendo stick, and storms out of the room.

Ben Price – Wait, they’re in the same hotel? 

Eddie Vega- That cameraman had better be ready to capture any of the mayhem!

Ben Price – Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll be watching this situation as it unfolds tonight. If anything happens during the commercial break, we’ll show it to you when we come back.

The show comes back from commercial and the camera is on Eric Wilson in the ring. 

Eddie Vega – Welcome back, we’re ready for our next match up here tonight. As Gabriel Tuck faces the only member of Bad Company here tonight. The Elite Champion, Greg Salazar.

Ben Price – This should be a great match. But who can come out on top? 

Eddie Vega – And this isn’t even the match to setup the advantage in Tribal Warfare. 

Ben Price – More an exhibition match here. Can Gabriel Tuck overcome someone who has had his number a couple of times. 

Eddie Vega – He is the one that dropped him on his head in the Lunar Warfare Elite Title match up. Can Gabriel Tuck use that to get his revenge? 

Singles Match – Gabriel Tuck vs “The Paragon” Greg Salazar

Eric Wilson – The following contest has been scheduled for one fall! Featuring first, weighing in at 235 pounds…he is “the Paragon” Greg Salazar!

A cover of “Limits” by Bad Omens by Cryptic Writings begins playing and the crowd cheers as Greg Salazar walks out from the back. He looks across the cheering crowd with a grin, rolls his shoulders, and heads down to the ring. He steps into the ring and leans in his corner to wait for his opponent. 

Ben Price – Greg has gone on record in saying that he is going to hurt Gabriel Tuck before Tribal Warfare. Think he’ll really try this?

Eddie Vega – It’s a sound strategy. I don’t think it’s going to work, but he can certainly try. 

Ben Price – What if Gabriel tries to hurt Greg?

Eddie Vega – Then, he’ll be stupid since the Elite title shot will bleed right out of the War Games match. His leader, Madd Morales, would be pissed. 

Eric Wilson – And his opponent, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Gabriel Tuck!

“Iron Wolf” by Beastwars began playing as Gabriel Tuck walks out from the back and howls to the fans. The fans boo and Gabriel seems hurt a moment before letting it slide off his back. He heads down to the ring, ignoring the boos from the fans and gets into the ring. 

Ben Price – Gabriel seems to think that the fans should still be cheering him on. For what? He’s with the nKo. The Bad Guys!

Eddie Vega – I don’t know if they would be more comfortable with misunderstood guys. Not everyone can be Prince Charming, you know. 

Ben Price – I know that, but these guys do bad things.

Eddie Vega – They are honest about doing these bad things. 

As the bell sounds to start the match, Gabriel turns to look at Greg, who has already crossed the ring and takes him down with a clothesline! He continues the assault with a few kicks and stomps before Gabriel can roll out of the ring. 

Gabriel gets down from the ring apron and looks into the ring as if in shock at Greg’s aggression. He walks around the ring and rolls back into the ring. Greg meets him there with a hard right hand that Gabriel manages to block and return with one of his own. Greg shrugs the blow off and headbutts Gabriel, staggering him back to the ropes. Gabriel bounces off of the ropes and comes back at Greg, but is utterly dropped with a spinning backfist that Greg calls the Iron Fist! 

Ben Price – Greg Salazar is ultra-aggressive in this match. Trying to end Gabriel quickly and with enough force that no one will mistake him for an easy match.

Eddie Vega – I don’t think that Gabriel was thinking that Greg was going to be easy.

Gabriel slowly gets to his feet for Greg to strike him in the side of the neck with a ridge hand strike. He goes for another strike, but Gabriel blocks it. However, Greg strikes him with the other hand in a spear hand strike to the throat! Gabriel drops, choking, to the mat. Referee Leroy Wallace scolds Greg Salazar for the throat shot, but Greg just shrugs before leaning down to pull Gabriel to his feet.

Greg goes for an axe kick, but Gabrel grabs him by the leg before it can come down on him with one hand and punches Greg right in the nuts with the other. Greg’s eyes seem to bulge from his head from the strike, and Gabriel follows this up with a power slam! Gabriel gets up, ignoring Leroy, who tries to scold him for the low blow. Gabriel sends a few kicks to the ribcage before punt kicking Greg in the face, sending blood and spittle flying across the mat. Gabriel pulls Greg up and whips him into the ropes before going to the other side and leaping at the ropes. He hits a springboard off of the middle rope and converts that into a spear as Greg gets back! 

Ben Price – What a spear!

Eddie Vega – Gabriel has to be just as aggressive if he wants to win this match.

Gabriel gets right back up and rakes the heel of his boot across Greg’s eyes! Leroy gets in his face and Gabriel holds out a restraining hand while reaching into his pants pocket to retrieve a twenty that he hands to Leroy. 

Leroy takes the money and looks away while Gabriel drops a knee across Greg’s chest and then moves the shin higher to choke Greg.

Ben Price – What the Hell?

Eddie Vega – You do what you gotta do in war. 

Gabriel isn’t on top of Greg for more than a few seconds before he jumps off and clutches at his butt. Greg smiles with his hand in the air, or rather…a finger.

Ben Price – Surprise finger in the butt?

Eddie Vega – That is all kinds of twisted.

Ben Price – You do what you gotta do in war. 

Eddie Vega – Don’t throw my words back at me!

Gabriel recovers from his embarrassment and turns back to Greg to find that he is upright. Greg hits a spinning bitch slap before a cutting kick to the shin brings Gabriel down! Greg pulls Gabriel back up into a flipping face buster! He quickly goes for the cover while Leroy Wallace gets into position. 

….one

……two

……..thr-Gabriel kicks out!

Greg kneels up and looks at Leroy, who holds up two fingers to let him know that it was a two-count. Greg pulls Gabriel up by the hair and applies a full nelson! The crowd knows what’s going on and snap shots of him lifting Gabriel and completing the motion of the Memento Mori! He goes for the cover again.

….one

……two

……..three!

Eric Wilson – Winner of the match via pinfall…”the Paragon” Greg Salazar! 

Ben Price – Well, Gabriel tried to fight back, but he was laid low like he was an enhancement talent. 

Eddie Vega – That’s an apt description for it. 

Greg Salazar stands up and spits on the fallen Gabriel Tuck before heading to the back. 

Ben Price – Coming up next is Samael Drago as he takes on Tetsuo Oni!

Eddie Vega – Oni going to be tired still from that Valor Scramble match at Vanguard?

Ben Price – I don’t know. We will find out after this break!

Eddie Vega – That we will…

Segment – Blaise McClancy & Miguel Lanza

We come back from Commercial backstage. We find ourselves at a locker room labeled for “The Upstarts”. Blaise McClancy walks up to it and knocks. 

The door opens. 

Blaise McClancy – You ready? 

Out steps Miguel Lanza, wearing his normal gear but also with a brace on his elbow.

Miguel Lanza – Yeah, I am. I’ve got this one. 

Blaise McClancy – Well doc has you cleared. Don’t worry, you’ve only got to face the Number One Contender for the Conquest Title. Go out there and do the rest of them proud. 

Miguel Lanza – Got it, boss. 

Lanza keeps walking, the camera following him towards the Gorilla position.

Ben Price – Well, Miguel Lanza is cleared again, and looks like he’s treating Akame McClancy’s 

Eddie Vega – Might be a good tactic to use on Samael Drago, he prepared for Tetsuo Oni, now outed as Blaise McClancy’s own daughter. But Drago is a man who can adapt and overcome. Not sure this will do what they expected. 

Ben Price – Well let’s go to the ring for Miguel Lanza and Samael Drago!

Singles Match – Samael Drago vs Miguel Lanza

Eric Wilson – The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and will be officiated by Georgina Ross! Entering the ring first, representing The Eternal Grove, hailing from the Academy of Plato hiiiiimself – ‘Moonchild’ Samael Draaaaaaagooooooooo!

When the first notes of “Moonchild” by Fields of the Nephilim hit, snow begins to fall on the ramp. Drago is slowly lifted up from under the ramp. The spotlight follows him throughout, as he stands there quietly. Lights go out everywhere except for on Drago. Then as the verse begins, the pyros go off, as Drago makes his way to the ring, dressed in his iconic Dragon-scales jacket. As he makes his way to the ring, he scans the ringside to see the audience, pathetic as usual.

As the chorus hits – “Moonchild, lower me down, lower me down”, Drago gets into the ring slowly, taking a second to process the reaction of the crowd. He stops in the middle, unfazed by anything. He slowly takes off his jacket. Ready for war.

Ben Price – Drago looking as dangerous as ever entering the ring. He’s at quite the disadvantage tonight though, both physically, and with the last minute change of opponent. Regardless of that, he’ll be wanting to head into his Tribal Warfare Title Shot with some momentum behind him, and a win here tonight will do just that.

Eddie Vega – That it will! My money’s on him tonight. Miguel Lanza Jr. missed the Valor Title Scramble on Vanguard, citing “Tennis Elbow”. The only racket Lanza makes is the creaking of the ring under his weight! My boy Drago’ll be all over that tonight. What’re the Dreadnought’s chances of winning? I’ll tell you! Nought! Zero! Ziltch!! I should know, I’m an expert with odds!

Ben Price – Tell that to your bank account! And I wouldn’t be so sure. Lanza’s got the size advantage, and has provided some dominant performances during his time. Speaking of the Dreadnought…

Eric Wilson – and his opponent, weighing in at a whopping 335lbs, standing at 6’10”, hailing from Partillas, Puerrrrrto Rrrrrrrricooooooo – “The Dreadnought” Miguel Lanza Jr.!

As Disturb’s “Won’t Back Down” starts to play over the Arena’s PA System, the big man from Puerto Rico walks out. He raises up his left hand in a fist as he stands there one moment to take in whatever the crowd’s reaction may be tonight. Once he’s ready, he makes his way down to the ring, occasionally giving the fans what is a very high-five for them.

Once he gets to the ring, he reaches up and pulls himself to the apron via pulling the top rope. He then enters, stepping over the ropes and starts to get ready for this match up.

Ben Price – A lovely touch, as always, taking a bit of time with the fans. A true gentle giant with those that cheer him on. Don’t let that fool you though, folks. This match should be a David vs Goliath match for the ages!

Eddie Vega – David vs Goliath? Damn right it will be! You know how quickly Goliath went down?! This try-hard won’t last 5 minutes against Drago’s intelligence, I’m telling you now!

As Georgina Ross goes to signal the start of the match, Drago catches her eye.

Drago – Referee! Check him! I think I can see a hidden weapon in his gear!

Concern covers Georgina’s face as she heads over to check. A contorted, conniving smirk spreads across Drago’s features, as he rotates his body to face the turnbuckle.

Ben Price – That grin… oh no, this is trouble, Drago’s up to something. Is… is he doing what I think he’s doing?

Eddie Vega – Clever boy! He’s untying the top turnbuckle! This’ll be interesting!

Noticing Drago’s plan from over Georgina’s shoulder, Lanza tries to draw her attention to it, gesturing wildly to get her to see. Trying to do her job as diligently as possible, she forces him back into the corner to finish her checks. Rage fills Lanza’s face as she finishes just as Drago stands in front of it to cover his handiwork. With a gesture from Georgina, the match starts.

DING DING!

Nostrils flaring, Miguel Lanza Jr. charges forward, arm shooting out for a clothesline. Anticipating the move, Drago rolls under it, before delivering a swift kick to the back of Lanza’s knee, causing him to stumble. A trio of quick kicks collide with Lanza’s knee as he turns quicker than a man his size has any right doing, an open palm plummeting down from the atmosphere.

CRACK!

The echo of the open hand chop against Drago’s chest reverberates around the arena, the crowd wincing at the sound. A white hand mark can be seen becoming more and more pronounced on Drago’s chest as if he’d been marked as one of Saruman’s Uruk-hai. 


Eddie Vega – Bah Gawd! Stop the match, he damn near caved Drago’s chest in!

Ben Price – Alright Jim Ross, calm down. That was one hell of a chop from Lanza, though!

Trying to capitalize, Miguel Lanza Jr. moves quickly, catching Drago in the chest again with a big boot, sending Drago sprawling. Large anaconda-esque arms wrap around Drago’s waist as The Dreadnought shows off his strength, deadlifting Drago from the mat.

Ben Price – The Dreadnought going for a Belly-to-Back Suplex here, really showing off his strength with that deadlift. He seems to be building the momentum Drago so desperately craves!

Eddie Vega – Drago’ll think of something, just you watch!

The first suplex attempt is stopped by Drago slipping his leg behind Lanza’s, his reflexes kicking in. Lanza goes for it again, only to be thwarted by Drago’s wriggling and writhing in his grip. Lanza tries for a third time, but Drago, having recovered enough from the Dreadnought’s previous barrage, slams his foot down onto Lanza’s, loosening the big man’s grip enough to slip out, sending Lanza swearing and cursing as he grabs at his foot.

Knowing Lanza was off-balance, Drago runs, bouncing off the ropes and going for a mid-rope moonsault, only to be caught midair, landing perfectly in the big man’s arms.

Ben Price – What a catch by Lanza! The power needed to absorb and hold Drago so effortlessly! The Grove’s Academic’s in trouble here!

As Lanza lifts Drago up for a scoop slam, Drago brings his knee down, catching Lanza’s shoulder once, twice, three times, causing Lanza to drop him. Rolling through the landing, Drago turns to face his opponent, face cold, calculating, deciding what to do next as the two start circling each other.

In an effort to surprise the Moonchild, Lanza charges again. Drago ducks under the first clothesline attempt, Lanza adding to his momentum as he rebounds off the ropes and goes for a big boot, only to have his leg caught by Drago, who transitions it into a beautiful Dragonscrew Leg Drag, sending Lanza to the mat.

Eddie Vega – That’s my boy! Papi’s gonna win big, I’m telling you now!

Ben Price – Drago seems to have an answer for everything Lanza’s throwing at him. He’s going ot need that adaptability against Dresden at Tribal Warfare! Hang on… if you win big from Drago winning, and you said Lanza’s chances are ‘ziltch’, how does that work?
 

Given the extra space, Drago slithers back round to the corner he’d started in, his cold, calculating grin expanding as he coils up near the still exposed turnbuckle. Temper finally fraying as his gargantuan form rose from the mat, Lanza sprints after him like a bull after a matador’s cape. Leaving it until it was almost too late, Drago rolls out of the way, sending the Puerto Rican Big Man straight into the exposed turnbuckle. Using the momentum from the collision, Drago’s hand grabs Lanza’s trunks, rolling him up in a schoolboy. Georgina Ross rushes down to count, Drago’s feet slipping onto the middle rope for extra leverage just out of her eyeline.

…One!


……Two!

………Three!

DING DING! DING!

Eric Wilson: Aaaaand the winner of the match by Pinfall, ‘Moonchild’ Samaeeel Draaaaaaaaaagooooooooooo!

Wanting to avoid the big man, Drago quickly gets out of the ring, grasping at his still red-raw chest, a broad grin across his face. Seeing this, Lanza’s face goes a deep crimson, rage and disbelief filling his features as he looks between Georgina and Drago as the referee checks over him for injuries.

Eddie Vega – Yes! Drago wins out! Take that, Price! Come on, pay up!

Ben Price – How did Georgina miss the blatant illegal pin? Or the missing turnbuckle pad, for that matter?! That isn’t wrestling, that’s the worst case of cheating I’ve seen in a long time! And since when did we actually bet anything?

Eddie Vega – Hey, you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do to get the win! I say that was pretty smart by Drago, using Lanza’s physicality against him like that! Hopefully, he can use some of those smarts against Dresden!

As the match fades out into an advert, the last thing seen is Lanza pointing out the exposed turnbuckle to Georgina Ross, her mortified expression turning paler and paler as it shifted out to commercial.

The show comes back and the cameras are on the announcer’s desk.

Ben Price – Welcome back to our final episode of Warzone before Tribal Warfare. And speaking of Tribal Warfare… things are heating up between Eoin O’Rourke and Steve Murdock. Especially after O’Rourke kidnapped Murdock’s son, Alex Nelson. 

Eddie Vega – And now we know they’re in the same hotel here in town… and well, we might be about to have an altercation between them!

Ben Price – Let’s go see.

Segment – Eoin O’Rourke & Steve Murdock Pt 2

Steve Murdock is stalking the hallways of the hotel that he is staying at. He kicks in a door and storms into the room. 

Instead of Eoin O’Rourke and Alex Nelson, he finds a couple having sex. The woman screams, and the man looks at Steve in fear (since Steve is armed). 

Man – What the Hell, man?

Steve Murdock – I’m so sorry, wrong room. 

Steve walks out of that room and walks to the next. He kicks in the door and storms into the room. 

Empty. 

Steve Murdock – If they had just given me the room number at the front desk as I asked…

Steve walks out of this room and walks down the hallway. He kicks in the door and storms in. He sees Alex Nelson sitting in the chair by the wall and Eoin O’Rourke standing in front of Alex and ready to fight. 

Eoin O’Rourke – Come on, ya shit. Come get some!

Steve Murdock raises his kendo stick to attack Eoin when a cattleprod takes him in the side from the bathroom. Elizabeth steps into the room from the bathroom, standing over the still twitching Steve Murdock. 

Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke – Welcome to the party, pal. 

Eoin picks up a smartphone and dials a number. 

Eoin O’Rourke – Hello, police? Someone broke into our hotel room and attacked us. We managed to subdue him. Yes, come and get him, please. 

As soon as Eoin hangs up, Apathy walks over to Alex and guides him to a standing position. 

Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke – I’ll take Alex for a ride while the authorities take Steve.

Eoin O’Rourke – Good idea. Give my wife any trouble, and dear old dad doesn’t make it to the jail cell. Capiche?

Alex Nelson – Fine! My dad will make you fly at Tribal Warfare. 

Eoin O’Rourke – It’s your dad who will wish for wings…

The scene closes as Apathy takes Alex out of the room

Ben Price – They’re going to have Steve Murdock arrested while they have someone kidnapped? 

Eddie Vega – Hey, they’re clearing their baffles man. Can’t prove anything except that Murdock assaulted them and broke into their room. 

Ben Price – That’s not right. 

Eddie Vega – Well, that might be. But while that’s happening, it’s time to get to our 

Singles Match – Viktor Kriegson vs “The Airdevil” Madd Morales

Eric Wilson – The following match up is a singles match, scheduled for one fall.  Introducing first representing the new Kharnival order. He comes in at 5’ 10” and 190 lbs. This is “The Airdevil” Madd Moraless!

The arena plunges into darkness. A low rumble kicks in under the silence then- 

“Beggin on her knees to be popular!”  

The distorted, otherworldly beat of “EvilJordan” by Playboi Carti slithers through the speakers like venom in a vein. Red strobes flash in erratic pulses as static crackles across the tron. Then, from the back, through a curtain of smoke that glows hellish crimson, he emerges, draped in a black designer trench that sways with each step, hood shadowing his face.

 He moves like someone who owns the ground beneath him. Its slow, cocky, like the devil on his day off. Every bounce in his step carries swagger, but in his silence, there’s something simmering. Something cruel. Something just waiting for someone to pull the pin. As the beat hits harder. He lifts his head.

Ben Price –  Once more the leader of the nKo and looking forward to Tribal Warfare where he will not only be vying for the future of the CWFbut also he wants to be the one to potentially pin Greg Salazar for the Elite Championship. 

Eddie Vega – Well, anyone in the nKo can do that. Basically the Elite title is on the line, whomever pins Greg Salazar will be the Elite Champion during Tribal Warfare. 

Ben Price – Although that leads to a question. What if that person gets pinned after that?

Eddie Vega – I don’t know.

His eyes shine under the flickering lights as he takes a deep breath, almost as if he is getting high on his own myth. A slow smirk curls across his lips. He drags a single finger across his throat and then points to the ring like he’s blessing it for sacrifice. At ringside, he sheds the trench coat slowly and deliberately, revealing taped fists ripped punk rock jeans that have various anarchism themed patches that change every night, save for the ones on his left and right legs that read “Air” and “Devil”.

He climbs the steps and turns his back to the ring for a moment, soaking in the judgment from every soul watching. Then he spins and steps through the ropes like he’s entering church. He doesn’t posture. He just waits, eyes locked forward, body still, the music fading into a final eerie pulse.

Eric Wilson – And his opponent… 

Having trained with various schools around the UK, Viktor developed a powerful style, gaining notoriety for his combination of bone-crushing holds and powerful strikes. Finding he out-sized most opponents in the UK, ‘The Hound of Hades’ travelled further afield for a bigger challenge, wanting to push himself to the top of his game. Whilst he has never settled into a fed, Viktor craves the opportunity to prove that he can be one of the best in the business, with his sights set on winning his first title.

The lights dim. A low, guttural howl echoes through the arena as smoke begins to billow at the entrance ramp. A blood-red spotlight cuts through the haze, revealing a towering silhouette just as the opening chords of his entrance music hit. The crowd rumbles—not in excitement, but in unease. They know who this is.

A string introduction of Avenged Sevenfold’s “Afterlife” plays as a singular spotlight finds its way to the entrance ramp, bringing a tall, imposing figure into view. Flames explode on each side of him, matched only by the flames of anger flicker in his eyes as he looks around the crowd from the stage, his fists clenching and unclenching as they do.

Eric Wilson – Entering the ring, weighing in at 300lbs and coming in at 6’ 4” in height, hailing from Arawn’s Court, representing The Annwn and The Eternal Grove, the Hound of Arawn hiiiiiiimself, Viktor Krieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegson!”

Ben Price – And the bigger man in this contest, with a half foot in height and around 110 lbs on Madd Morales, his opponent. 

The heavily distorted guitars of his theme kick in, joined by perfectly timed columns of fire exploding on each side of Viktor. He prowls down the ramp and towards his hunting grounds, brow furrowing with a rage-filled focus, each step perfectly in time with the music.

Eddie Vega – Morales has a fight on his hands here. And he needs a win to keep that leadership position heading into Tribal Warfare. I’d not like to be in his shoes right now. 

Moving up the ring steps and onto the apron, his hand grasps onto the top rope, a deep scowl crossing his face as his eyes look over the crowd once more. Wiping his boots on the floor, Viktor enters the ring through the top and middle ropes, before making his way over to an opposite corner, climbing to the middle rope as his hands meet behind his back, surveying the crowd with his now focused scowl. After a longer than comfortable moment, he steps back down, before preparing himself for the bout ahead.

Eric Wilson – Your referee for this match up, Ashley Beaton!

Beaton signals to both men, and then calls for the bell to start the match!

DING! DING!

Morales breaks into a run. He hits the ropes, and comes off and tries to hit Kriegson with a huge bicycle kick. Kriegson takes it right to the chest but doesn’t go down. Morales gets to his feet, and heads for the ropes, coming off with a spring board moonsault. 

Kriegson just catches him over his shoulder, turns and powerslams Morales to the mat. 

Kriegson goes for a quick pin. 

… One

…… Two

Kriegson pulls Morales up by the hair, and stands, pulling him up. 

Eddie Vega – Oh, well Viktor Kriegson wants to just punish Madd Morales. 

Morales tries to break free from the hold. His hands can’t do it. Beaton warns Kriegson about holding hair, and starts a count. 

1… 

Kriegson continues to manhandle Morales by his hair. 

Ben Price – This is just a nasty way to fight. 

2… 

Eddie Vega – But it’s effective. 

Morales grabs a rope as he passes by, and tries to use that to get free. 

3… 

Kreigson kicks Morales in the midsection and pulls him off the ropes.

4… 

Kriegson finally stops, and whips Morales to the ropes on the other side, via his dreads. Kriegson goes for a big boot on the rebound, but Morales baseball slides under it and turns that into a drop kick to the other foot of Kriegson taking him down to the mat. 

Ben Price – Innovative counter by the Airdevil.

Morales kips up to his feet, and runs for the ropes. He springboards and twists bringing both knees down to the kidney area. He rolls off and backs up. 

Eddie Vega – The big thing Morales needs to do here is not get caught by Viktor Kreigson. 

Kriegson starts to get up to his hands and knees. Morales hits the ropes again, and comes off with a low dropkick that hits Kriegson in his head. Morales gets up again, as it doesn’t take Kriegson down. 

Ben Price – He just bounced off Viktor Kriegson’s head like he was nothing. 

Morales gets up and starts to kick and stomp on Kriegson, but the bigger man just keeps climbing to his feet. Once he’s to his feet, Kriegson reaches out and grabs Morales and whips him hard to the nearest corner. He follows in with a huge clothesline that catches Morales a little bit in the air on impact. 

Eddie Vega – And that looked worse than a car accident. 

Ben Price – Call a lawyer!

Kriegson pulls back and delivered another huge clothesline, then another one, and another. He finally pulls Morales out of the corner and hooks him for a vertical suplex pickup. He pulls him up and holds him there…

Ben Price – Big show of strength here. The difference between these two is very evident here. But I honestly have to agree: Viktor Kriegson is trying to make a statement.

Kreigson holds Morales there for another whole minute before he suddenly falls backwards to the mat with a huge suplex that he calls the Soul Snatcher. 

Ben Price – And a soul snatcher. This might be over right here. 

Kriegson rolls over onto Morales and starts another pin. 

… One

…… Two

….. The… No, Morales twists his body and gets a shoulder up. 

Eddie Vega – That was close, but Madd Morales is still in this.

Kriegson pulls Morales to his feet, and delivers a huge Headbutt that staggers the smaller man. Kriegson holds onto his hair again, and pulls him into a DDT setup, locking in a butterfly hold as well. He lifts, and takes Morales over into a butterfly suplex. 

Ben Price – Again the big man back in control here. 

Kriegson rolls and keeps the hold, lifts, and then drops Morales down almost into the corner. He lets it go, and climbs up to his feet. He walks to the corner, and starts to get up onto the second rope. 

Eddie Vega – What’s this? The big man is going for the turnbuckle? 

Kriegson gets his foot onto the second rope in the corner, pushes up and then comes off with a splash… but misses Morales as he moves out of the way!

Ben Price – Madd Morales just avoided that splash. That would have squished him like a big bug!

Krieson starts to pull himself up using the ropes, quickly. As Kriegson gets to his feet, Morales runs up with a huge bicycle kick that catches him in the side of the head. 

Kriegson almost goes over the ropes, his hand going to the apron and keeping him inside. 

Eddie Vega – That kick has so far been a temporary game changer here and there when he’s used it. I’m not sure how many of his other moves he can use int his match. 

Ben Price – And when he’s tried to fly, Kriegson has either shrugged it off of grounded him hard. 

Morales dips down and grabs Kriegson’s lower leg. He pulls up and pushes Kriegson the rest of the way over the top rope. Kriegson falls to the outside, landing on his feet. 

Eddie Vega – Kriegson to the outside, but he landed like a man half his size out there. Pretty smooth. 

Ben Price – What’s Morales doing now?

Morales pulls back and launches himself over the top rope. He tries to catch Kriegson with an attempted hurricanrana. But Kriegson blocks it. Morales dangles from his shoulders, from the failed move. 

Ben Price – Well that didn’t work. 

Eddie Vega – Not where I’d want to be. 

 Viktor Kriegson lunges forward and catches Morales’ midsection across the side of the ring apron. He then backs up, and swings to hit Morales’ head against the ringside barricade. 

Ashley Beaton starts to warn both of them that she’s about to start a count out. 

Ben Price – They’re spending too much time on the outside!

Eddie Vega – This would suck to be a double countout.

Kriegson adjusts Morales and then lifts his torso up  into a powerbomb setup. He turns, lining up to drop him onto the ring steps!

Ben Price – He’s going to try to injure Madd Morales, and that does not bode well for his change at Tribal Warfare!

Beaton starts to count.

1…. 

Eddie Vega – I can’t look!

Before Kriegson can finish the move, Morales breaks free and slides down his back. Morales scrambles to get away from the larger man. He runs past Kriegson and continues all around the entire ring. 

2…

Ben Price – He’s going about a means of building up speed here. 

Eddie Vega – This could backfire if he doesn’t hit this.

3… 

Morales heads right for Kriegon, but Kriegson bends down and catches him in a back body drop, aiming for the ring steps he’d tried to put him on earlier. Morales rotates in mid air and lands on the ring steps on his feet.

Ben Price – Holy Shi… sheeze. He landed on his feet! The Airdevil landed on his feet!

4… 

Morales turns a bit, sizes up, and jumps to the ring apron. He hops to the second rope, and comes off with a moonsault to the outside. He catches Kriegson’s head as he rotates and spikes him on the outside with a huge tornado DDT. Kriegson falls almost vertically on impact, on that very thin mat along the concrete outside. 

5… 

Eddie Vega – I think that just tied with the worst head bump that Viktor Kriegson has ever taken. 

Ben Price – You know he felt that one for sure. 

Morales rolls and starts to get up. Kriegson seems to be starting to move his arms. 

6… 

Ben Price – Come on, one of you get up and break the count. It can’t end like this. 

Morales gets to his knees. 

7… 

Morales looks up to the ring, and shakes his head. 

Eddie Vega – Come on, one of you… get the fuck up!

Ben Price – Eddie!

8… 

Morales gets to his feet.  Kriegson starts to roll to his knees. 

9… 

Morales takes off, stepping onto Kriegson’s back, and leaps to the apron where he slingshots himself just as the 10th count is going down!

Ben Price – Okay that was too close!

Ashley Beaton signals that Morales broke the count, and she goes back to counting Kriengson as he starts to get up again. 

1… 

2… 

Kriegson gets to his feet and grabs the ropes to pull himself up. 

3…

He gets to the apron. 

4… 

Morales lunges in and hits Kriegson with a superkick.

Beaton signals that the count has been stopped.

 Kriegson almost falls off the apron but holds on. Morales moves in again, and Kreigson grabs him by the throat, and then shoves him back in the ring. 

Ben Price – That big hand just put a sudden stop to that run. 

Eddie Vega – And now the Hound of Hades is back on the hunt again. 

Kriegson gets into the ring and heads right to where Morales is laying. He bends down and pulls Morales to his feet. Morales suddenly breaks into a series of knee lifts, followed by a high knee that snaps Kriegson’s head back. 

Ben Price – Grunge Shot Combo out of no where. 

Morales goes to run to the ropes, but before he can get two steps, Kriegson grabs his arm. Kriegson pulls him back into a huge forearm that catches him across his chest. 

Eddie Vega – And caught. 

Krieson then whips Morales to the ropes. He catches Morales as he comes off for what looks like the setup for the move he calls his Abyss Spiral. But as he hooks Morales for it, Morales overspins, and hooks Kreigson’s other arm with his legs.

And he snaps him down with a Crucifix Driver. 

Ben Price – Crucifix Driver out of no where!

Beaton slides into place and checks Kriegson’s shoulders. Morales positions his body and gets his arms into position, locking his arms for a pinfall attempt.

… One

…… Two

……… THREE!… Kriegson breaks the pin just a split second too late. 

Beaton gets up and calls for the bell. 

DING!DING!DING!

Ben Price – Madd Morales did it!

Eric Wilson – The winner of this match up, “The Airdevil” Madd Morales!

Eddie Vega – Holy shit! He did it. That means he’s still nKo leader heading into Tribal Warfare!

Ben Price – And Madd Morales is not sticking around to celebrate that win. 

The camera shows Morales slipping out of the ring, and heading up the ramp as Viktor Kreigson argues with Ashley Beaton about his shouldering having been up and kicking out before she hit three. 

Eddie Vega – Well A surprise win for Madd Morales here. We’ve got one more match tonight… but first, these commercial messages. 

The show comes back from commercial with cameras on the announcers. 

Ben Price – And now for our main event. The winner of this match, their team at Tribal Warfare will get the advantage for the team based event. 

Eddie Vega – To explain, it’ll start one on one, but the winner here… their team when the time is up, will have the first person enter, giving them a 2 on one advantage for two minutes. The teams will then alternate members coming in every two minutes until every member has entered the match. 
Ben Price – A big price on the line… let’s get to the action.

Main Event – Singles Match – Armand Von Krauss vs Jeremiah Vastrix

Eric Wilson – The following contest has been scheduled for one fall! Featuring first the challenger, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is “God’s Gift” Jeremiah Vastrix!

 “Warhammer Heart” by Cryptic Writings begins playing as Jeremiah Vastrix walks out from the back to the cheering of the fans. He blows a couple of kisses to rowdy female fans before starting to make his way down to the ring. He stops every once in a while to slap high fives. He comes to a full stop when he gets to the front row, when an especially good-looking female fan flashes him her boobs. He gives her a hug and kisses her passionately before heading into the ring. The female fan waves at her face as if she were needing to cool down. 

Ben Price – He certainly is God’s Gift. 

Eddie Vega – Not God’s Gift to Wrestling, that’s for sure. I heard he never finished a wrestling school or went beyond the basics. An affair with either a teacher or another student. 

Ben Price – God’s Gift to Women. 

Eddie Vega – Oh, I suppose that could be true, considering the effect that he’s had on the womenfolk in the audience. 

Eric Wilson – And his opponent, weighing in at 245 pounds…he is Armand von Krauss!

“Circus Apocalypse” by Vermillion Lies begins playing as Armand von Krauss walks out from the back in his ring gear. He is also smoking an imported Egyptian cigarette as he takes in the boos from the fans. He begins to slowly walk down the aisle to the ring as the fans continually hurl their dislike at him. He gets to the front row where said female fan who flashed and kissed Jeremiah, flips Armand off. Armand summons security.

Armand von Krauss – Have this woman escorted out of the building. We have strict rules to follow on nudity here, and she broke those rules. 

Security escorted her away while the crowd increased their booing of the unpopular decision. The woman being taken out of the building stops long enough to flash the crowd before being dragged away. This brings a cheer from the fans who go back to booing once security takes her away. Armand shakes his head as he flicks his cigarette butt into the crowd, who all jump out of the way of the burning projectile. He steps into the ring and looks across the ring at Jeremiah Vastrix with a smirk. 

Armand von Krauss – This is just going to be a preview of your unmaking at Tribal Warfare. 

Jeremiah Vastrix – You’ll know what I’m made of after tonight. 

Ben Price – Well, strong words from both competitors.

Eddie Vega – Armand is going to trounce the Playboy. 

Ben Price – Jeremiah can wrestle. 

Eddie Vega – But when has he wrestled last? Years ago. 

As the bell sounds to start the match, Armand and Jeremiah stand in the center of the ring and stare each other down while daring the other to make the first move. 

Jeremiah Vastrix – You represent everything that is wrong with this world. 

Armand von Krauss – I represent the spirit that is the Sinister Peace. 

Jeremiah Vastrix – The Sinister Peace was replaced by the Warhammer Corporation long ago. The goals of the company are no longer the same!

Armand von Krauss – Are they?

Jeremiah makes the first move, taking a wild swing at Armand, who easily blocks the punch and squeezes the hand. Jeremiah’s eyes go wide with pain, but he gathers himself quickly and delivers a heavy headbutt. The stunned Armand releases Jeremiah’s hand and goes into defensive mode as Jeremiah connects with several punches. Jeremiah whips Armand into the ropes and connects with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on the rebound. 

Ben Price – You know what they were talking about?

Eddie Vega – I have no idea. 

Ben Price – Well, that makes for two of us. 

Eddie Vega – Jeremiah on the offensive right now. 

Jeremiah watches as Armand gets up and goes on the offensive. Jeremiah’s blue cybernetic eye flashes blue for a second before he dodges a punch and grabs Armand by the arm for a short-arm clothesline! Jeremiah then quickly pulls Armand up and lays him out again with a suplex! He grabs Armand by the legs and looks to the crowd now that he has Armand in a vulnerable spot. Armand looks up at Jeremiah as if daring him to do it. The crowd cheers Jeremiah on, and he kicks Armand in the hamstrings. 

Ben Price – Does that cybernetic eye do anything for Jeremiah other than allow him sight?

Eddie Vega – I have heard a rumor that there is a database and analysis software attached to help Jeremiah predict and counter his opponents. I have also heard something about a one-shot laser, so take it all with a grain of salt. 

Jeremiah leans down to grab Armand, but he sits up with a small device in his hand that he presses the button on. Jeremiah’s hands go to his head as he roars in pain, the blue light on his cybernetic eye flickering. Armand puts the device away and stands up with a cruel grin. 

Armand von Krauss – You thought maybe this was going to be a fair fight?

A powerful backhand staggers Jeremiah backwards a few steps. 

Armand von Krauss – Your cybernetics grant you skills you didn’t earn. 

He grabs Jeremiah by the shoulder and punches him in the gut hard enough to lift Jeremiah off of his feet. 

Armand von Krauss – I have taken that away. 

Armand grabs Jeremiah by the arm and whips him into the ropes, knocking him over on the rebound with a shoulder charge. 

Armand von Krauss – What’s left? Enhancement talent…not fit even for the CWF dark matches. 

Armand pulls Jeremiah up and hurls him across the ring into the corner, where he lands against it upside down. His legs catch on the top rope, and he is stuck in the Tree of Woe position. Armand walks over to him casually, confidently. He kicks Jeremiah in the chest a few times before stomping on the underside of his jaw! Referee Ashley Beaton gets in there to tell Armand to go back toward the center of the ring so that she can untie Jeremiah from the corner. Jeremiah falls to the mat for a moment before he stands up, blood running down his chest from a gash on the underside of his chin. The cybernetic eye is still glitching, and it’s clear that it still pains Jeremiah, but he just looks determined. 

Jeremiah Vastrix – I won titles before getting this little gift. You know that. 

Jeremiah runs at Armand, though it’s clear that he’s not 100%, and takes a swing at him. Armand grabs him by the wrist and pulls Jeremiah in for a palm strike to the side of the face! He whips Jeremiah into the corner properly and charges, hitting a leaping avalanche, and then begins to pummel Jeremiah with lefts and rights. Ashley Beaton gets tired of yelling at Armand and gets in between the two to send Armand to the center of the ring. Jeremiah, looking like a brutalized boxer now, takes a couple of steps and takes a wild swing at Ashley Beaton before falling onto his face! 

Ben Price – Jeremiah can’t take much more of this punishment.

Eddie Vega – I think that’s the idea. He knows now what War Games is going to be like. 

Ben Price – Yeah, this much is true. 

Eddie Vega – I don’t know how Jeremiah is expecting to win after tonight. 

Armand rolls Jeremiah over with a foot and places the foot onto his chest for the arrogant cover. Ashley gets down for the count!

….one

……two

……..thr-Jeremiah gets a shoulder up! 

Ben Price – Jeremiah still in this! 

Eddie Vega – I don’t know why. I would have given up. 

Armand von Krauss – Stay down, Jeremiah. There’s no way for you to win this. 

Armand watches with dark amusement as Jeremiah gets back to his feet. The cybernetic eye is no longer flickering; it seems cold and dark with a strange silvery fluid leaking from it. 

Jeremiah Vastrix – I ain’t heard no bell…

Armand steps up to Jeremiah and tries to throw a punch, but Jeremiah blocks it and throws one of his own that connects. Armand tries again to punch him, but it also gets blocked and countered. Armand tries a third time, but his arm is grabbed, and he is whipped into the ropes. Jeremiah hits a high cross-body block on the rebound, staying on Armand and hooking a leg for the cover. 

….one

……two

……..thr-Armand kicks out! 

Ben Price – How quickly things change, eh? 

Eddie Vega – I think Armand made a mistake and broke the cybernetic eye!

Ben Price – You know what? I bet you’re right!

Eddie Vega – It’s been known to happen. Like when I bet on Samael to beat Miguel. 

Jeremiah Vastrix gets to his feet and pulls Armand von Krauss to his feet before whipping him into the ropes and waiting for him to rebound so that he can hotshot him on the ropes. Armand sees this and doesn’t fall for it, kicking Jeremiah in the side of the head instead! Jeremiah goes down like a sack of potatoes, allowing Armand to grab the top rope and kick Jeremiah a few more times to kick him out of the ring. 

Armand von Krauss sees Ashley Beaton start to count, and he shakes his head. 

Armand von Krauss – Hardcore-Match. No rules, no count-outs, and no disqualifications…

Ashley looks like she wants to argue, but does not. Armand watches as Jeremiah lies on the floor outside of the ring and gets out his golden cigarette case and lighter from an inside pocket of his wrestling tights and lights a cigarette. He places the pack and lighter on the ring apron in one of the corners. 

Ben Price – He shouldn’t be able to do that at all, much less during a match!

Eddie Vega – You want to tell him? Wind up with special tickets to the Kharnival?

Ben Price – I suppose that’s something that I don’t want to have to deal with.

Eddie Vega – Right? I have better things to do than to go missing. 

Jeremiah Vastrix pulls himself up by the ring skirt. Armand sees this and flicks his cigarette from the ring, taking a run and hitting a baseball slide dropkick! Armand gets to his feet on the outside of the ring and grabs Jeremiah by the hair, dragging him to a corner of the ring so that he can slam Jeremiah’s face into the ringpost! 

Armand reaches under the ring and pulls out a table, quickly setting it up. He grabs the rising Jeremiah and lifts him up into a power bomb position. He is getting ready to put Jeremiah through the table when Jeremiah hits a frankensteiner instead, putting Armand through the table instead! Jeremiah gets up and slides Armand into the ring, following. Jeremiah climbs to the top rope, waits for Armand to get up, and nails a missile dropkick! 

Jeremiah pops up again, grabs Armand, and gets him into a front face lock, he shimmies for the cheering crowd and…Hehehe and Hahaha rush into the ring and attack Jeremiah! Ashley Beaton shakes her head anyway and signals for the bell. 

Ben Price – I thought this match was no dq?

Eddie Vega – Guess outside interference doesn’t count against that. 

Eric Wilson – Winner of the match via disqualification…”God’s Gift” Jeremiah Vastrix!

Ben Price – That means Bad Company will get the advantage in the Tribal Warfare War Games match!

Eddie Vega – Well, that may be but what damage could they do to Vastrix now?

Greg Salazar runs down to the ring while Armand watches the twins kick the downed Jeremiah. Greg exchanges punches with the two, holding his own. Armand stays out of the fight, watching with cruel delight as the twins absorb punishment and begin to deal out some of their own. 

Ben Price – Greg Salazar is alone tonight! Someone else should come down and help! 

Eddie Vega – Yeah, but who?

“Deathstorm” Ronnie McKnight runs down to the ring and begins taking on Hahaha while Greg fights Hehehe. The twins quickly find themselves overwhelmed and retreat to behind Armand. Greg and Ronnie look like they are going to take on Armand when Ronnie kicks Greg in the gut, lifts him up, and power bombs him onto the mat. He immediately mounts Greg, pounding him with a flurry of forearms. Armand grabs the microphone from Eric Wilson.

Armand von Krauss – Meet the fifth member of my team going into Tribal Warfare, Greg. The nKo is now complete. 

Armand hits the rising Jeremiah with the microphone and lifts him up into a suplex position and simply drops him on his head in his finisher that he calls the Drilltip. He exits the ring with the twins and Ronnie McKnight, leaving Greg Salazar and Jeremiah Vastrix lying on the mat. 

Ben Price – This does not bode well for Tribal Warfare, guys. But, Bad Company has the advantage. So maybe they can make up for it.

Eddie Vega – Right? Armand is going nowhere. Advantage won’t matter much. And now that Salazar got a little roughed up, maybe that Elite Title will be leaving his waist as well. 

Ben Price – That’s all the time we have for tonight, and remember, if you want in on the best action in the world? Remember to – 

Both – #jointheconquest!
