||Warzone|| Season 4 || Episode 6 || Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

The show opening starts as the new Warzone theme for Season 4, “Even if it Kills Me” by Papa Roach starts to play. It’s quickly followed by the new Season 4 Logo for Warzone.

The show opens with the Patented CWF Camera Drone flyby over the crowd. It shows that it’s coming to you from the newly rebranded Casey’s Center, formerly the Wells Fargo Arena,  in Des Moines, Iowa. As the drones go over the crowd a graphic display shows that 18630 CWF fans have joined the show live in the arena, out of a capacity of 21,000 seats for a ringed sporting event. 

As all four of the main drones approach the stage, the fireworks go off, sailing over the crowd all seated near it to get to hopefully slap hands and high five their favorite CWF Combatants. 

Soon three of the drones go black, while one final one turns and flies down to where the announcers table is stationed near the ring. Our normal CWF Warzone announcing crew of Benjamin Price and “Fast” Eddie Vega start the show.

Ben Price – Good evening and welcome to the 6th Episode of CWF’s Warzone in Season 4. We have a hell of a show for you tonight. We’re coming off the huge Lunar Warfare show! We had three titles change hands, New Valor Champion Apathy will be in action tonight in our main event, defending against one half of the new Tag Team Champions, Trelisa Perrault. 

Eddie Vega – Well my partner, Ben Price just getting right into things. So lets keep it going. I’m Eddie Vega, and we’ll also see Ms. Perrault’s tag team partner, Gabriel Tuck in action against the now former Elite Champion, Kara Reinhardt. 

Ben Price – Fiona O’Connell has to deal with the hound of hades tonight, Viktor Kriegson in one of her biggest tests since becoming a pro wrestler. 

Eddie Vega – Dixie Clement, a long time veteran of the sport, who came back for the CWF’s Lunar Warfare Rumble will face off against Kat Hale tonight in what might be considered a grudge match after how the two of them interacted in the Lunar Warfare Rumble match. 

Ben Price – We’ll hear from both the conquest champion, Abby Dresden, AND her future opponent, the man who went through the ENTIRE Lunar Rumble… Samael Drago. 

Eddie Vega – So many things changed at Lunar Warfare, but one thing stayed the same. Abby Dresden is still the CWF Conquest Champion. 

Ben Price – New Valor Champoin, Apathy. New Elite Champion, Greg Salazar, and New Tag Team Champions, Gabriel Tuck and Trelissa Perrault of the nKo. And since then, also new 4 Winds Dyad Champions, our own Wild Hunt… Abby Dresden and Tetsuo Oni. 

Eddie Vega – We’ve got a lot of action for you tonight. Our opening match will be… The Hardcore Icon, Steve Murdock and Eion O’Rourke. 
Ben Price – And I’m told we’re going backstage now, to check in with Steve Murdock. Let’s go…

Backstage, we find Steve Murdock in the locker room while getting ready for his upcoming match. 

The door to the room opens to let in a young man dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a Steve Murdock tshirt. Steve gives him a look and shakes his head. 

Steve Murdock – I don’t think they let fans back here, man. You’re going to have to go. 

Young man – Steve? Steve Murdock?

Steve nods and puts a hand on the young man’s shoulder. 

Steve Murdock – Yeah, same as the guy on your shirt. Now, I really think you need to…

The young man embraces Steve in a sudden move that takes the Hardcore Icon by surprise. 

Steve Murdock – What is this?

The young man backs up and smiles.

Young man – I’m sorry. My name is Alex. Alex Nelson. I’m your son!

Steve Murdock – Wait, I don’t have any kids. I haven’t even had a date in decades, How old are you anyway?

Alex Nelson – Seventeen. Remember a blonde ring announcer named Lacey down in Houston during your time in Lone Star Wrestling?

Steve Murdock – No? Yes? Oh my, you’re her son?

Alex Nelson – Yeah, and your son too…

Steve Murdock – But she didn’t say a word, no calls, no subpoenaes, no alimony, that can’t be right?

He sits down on the wooden bench and Alex puts a hand on his shoulder.

Alex Nelson – She got lucky and married a pediatrician while she was pregnant, I almost made an appearance at the ceremony, at least that’s what Dad said.

Steve Murdock – Okay, but why are you here, and why now?”

Alex Nelson – I’ve been watching you, and I’ve always been a wrestling fan, so I thought I would learn how to wrestle from you if you would have me, maybe we could even work together when you think I’m ready.

Steve Murdock – I…I don’t know if I would be a very good teacher.

Alex Nelson – Nonsense. I think you would be a great teacher! I could learn at the feet of the best hardcore wrestler around!

Steve Murdock – Before I say yes or no, do your Mom and Dad know about this ambition of yours, shouldn’t be going to college or getting a real job or something?

Alex Nelson – Well…Mom had a few choice four-letter words when I brought your name up, but Dad was fine with it, as long as you don’t charge me for learning.

Steve Murdock – Fine. But you’re going to watch from backstage as I take Eoin apart. I don’t want to risk you getting hurt since we just met.

Alex Nelson – Okay.

Steve nods to him as he stands up and tousles his hair. 

Steve Murdock – I’ll see you after the match, boy. 

The scene fades as Steve leaves the locker room. 

Ben Price – Steve Murdock has a son?

Eddie Vega – Who did he say was the mom? The ring announcers from Lone Star Wrestling? 

Ben Price – You know her?

Eddie Vega – Don’t think so. Making sure… just in case you know. If she was a ring rat, then…

Ben Price – You can stop there. Let’s go ahead and get to our first match of the night. Steve Murdock and Eoin O’Rourke!

Ben Price – Let’s go to Eric Wilson for the introductions of the next match.

Eric Wilson stands in the ring behind the CWF logo, microphone in hand.

Eric Wilson – CWF fans, our next match is set for one fall.  Introducing first, from County Leitrim on the River Shannon in the Republic of Ireland, weighing in at two-hundred forty five pounds, he is the Irish Bounty Hunter, EOIN O’ROURKE!

The lights dim as the opening notes of “Just Close Your Eyes” by Fivefold thrum through the arena. A single green spotlight shines at the top of the ramp illuminating Eion O’Rourke with his eyes closed and his arms outstretched. After a moment, he begins marching down the ramp to the beat of the music, the spotlight following him. Eion pauses to crack his neck and bounce a few times before rolling into the ring. The light follows him as he stands with his arm outstretched again. He takes off his red sunglasses and his coat, tossing them into the corner as he paces around the ring.

Ben Price – Both of the men in this match stand at six-foot five, but Eion O’Rourke has a weight advantage of about twenty pounds.”

Eddie Vega – He’ll need to throw that weight around with someone like the Hardcore Icon. Murdock may be getting up there in years, but he still swings a mean kendo stick!”

The lights return to normal as Eric Wilson begins to speak again.

Eric Wilson – And his opponent, from Dallas, Texas and weighing in at two-hundred twenty pounds, he is the Hardcore Icon, STEVE MURDOCK!

EW leaves the ring as “Walk” by Pantera blares over the speakers and stepping out from the curtain, barbed wire kendo stick in hand, is Steve Murdock. He headbangs and pumps his fist to the music before stepping back behind the curtain for a second. He reappears wheeling…something down to the ring covered in a tarp. He places his cargo right next to the ring before rolling in and posing on the corners, kendo stick held high.

Ben Price – Okay, Eddie. What’s the game plan here for Eion O’Rourke?

Eddie Vega – Like I said, Benny. O’Rourke needs to use his weight advantage, as well as his mental fortitude to take out the Hardcore Icon.

Ben Price – On the flip side, what does Steve Murdock have to do to get the win?

Eddie Vega – Benny, Murdock is the Hardcore Icon. He’s tougher than any five men you’ll meet put together. He has to use that grit, that determination, that toughness to absorb whatever the Irish Bounty Hunter has to throw at him and be able to throw one even harder.

Eric Wilson – Your referee for this match is Leroy Wallace!

Before Leroy goes to call for the bell, Steve Murdoch walks up to Leroy and starts whispering in his ear. Leroy shakes his head no and starts to turn away from Murdock, but Murdock stops him, pulls something from the waistband of his pants and hands it to Leroy with a smile. The ref looks down in his hand, thinks about it for a second, before pocketing something green, and heading over to the ring ropes, motioning for Eric Wilson. They speak for a minute.

Eric Wilson – CWF faithful, I have just been informed that due to referee discretion, this match is now a HARDCORE MATCH!

Ben Price – What? What is Leroy Wallace doing? Did he just take money from Steve Murdock to make this a hardcore match?

Eddie Vega – Hey! Leroy has a mortgage to pay! You can’t blame the guy for trying to make a little on the side! Besides! You know these fans love to see blood, Ben!

Eion approaches Leroy asking what in the Hell is going on, taking his eyes off of Murdock. Murdock rushes in and hits O’Rourke in the midsection with the barbed wire kendo stick. The Bounty Hunter falls to the canvas holding his stomach as Murdock goes to the edge of the ring and grabs the tarp, yanking it free. Underneath it is a wheelbarrow full of chairs, more kendo sticks, and a toolbox.

O’Rourke pushes himself off the mat, multiple small bleeding holes appearing on his abs. Leroy Wallace sighs and pulls on some latex gloves.

Eddie Vega – Ha! First blood to the Hardcore Icon!

Ben Price – Eddie, you and I both know that it’s going to take more than that to stop the Irish Bounty Hunter. He’s as tough as they come!

Murdock grabs a chair from the wheelbarrow and turns back to the ring, holding the chair over his head, but O’Rourke hits him with a running knee to the stomach. As Murdock doubles over and drops the chair, Eoin grabs Murdock’s hair and yanks him up, laying in a succession of hard, bone-rattling European uppercuts. He grabs Murdock’s hand and slings him across the ring.

Eddie Vega – Ha! That’s pretty funny!

Ben Price – What is?

Eddie Vega – It’s an Irish whip! (silence) See, because he’s Irish…

O’Rourke goes for a Thesz press but while he’s in midair, Murdock hits a big boot and knocks the Bounty Hunter to the ground. He mounts O’Rourke and starts throwing elbow smashes toward the Irishman’s face, but O’Rourke covers up, blunting the blows with his forearms. As Murdock rears back for a big elbow strike, O’Rourke darts a hand upward and jabs Murdock in the eye, causing Murdock to fumble backwards.

Ben Price – That was smart by O’Rourke. I don’t know how many more of those elbows he could take from that position.

Eddie Vega – Smart and successful! Murdock moved away, giving O’Rourke time to recover.

O’Rourke roars off the mat and ducks Murdock’s hastily thrown clothesline, grabbing the Texan by the waist and lifting him up into a delayed German suplex. Murdock bounces off the mat and tumbles into the corner. O’Rourke grabs the discarded chair and pushes it to the middle of the ring. He pulls Murdock to his feet and facing him, wraps his arms around Murdock, headbutts him twice, and then lifts into a release Northern Lights suplex right onto the steel chair.

Eddie Vega – Over da pond! He went over da pond!

Ben Price – And right onto that chair! A chair, I might add, that Murdock brought into the ring himself!

Murdock rolls away from O’Rourke and the Irishman goes to the outside, rummaging through the toolbox, coming up with a pipe wrench. He climbs back into the ring, hefting the wrench.

The crowd roars in response, chanting “Hard! Core!” over and over again. 

Murdock is on his hands and knees as O’Rourke swings the wrench, barely rolling out of the way as the wrench smashes into the mat burying itself an inch deep. The vibration of the impact loosens O’Rourke grip on the wrench. As he holds his hands and looks up, Murdock comes in with a rolling elbow, staggering the Irishman.

Murdock grabs the chair and hits O’Rourke in his already-bloody midsection, doubling O’Rourke over, and then cracks it over O’Rourke’s back, sending O’Rourke to the mat. He slams the chair into O’Rourke’s back multiple times before tossing it away. Kneeling over O’Rourke, Murdock grabs his arms, pulls him back, and locks in the Camel Clutch!

Ben Price – Oh, good choice of move, Eddie! After those chair shots to the back, the Camel Clutch might just get him the win!

Eddie Vega – Definitely Benny! Look at that torque! We might hear some vertebrae popping soon!

Murdock leans slightly side to side as he wrenches back on O’Rourke’s chin, putting more pressure on the neck. However, to Murdock’s surprise, O’Rourke is barely making any noise while in the hold. On one lean to the side, O’Rourke kicks suddenly to that side and turns Murdock onto his back!

… One

…… Two

Murdock releases the hold and pushes O’Rourke off him. O’Rourke rolls onto his knees, pushing himself to his feet as Murdock does the same.

Ben Price – That was a close call, Eddie. Murdock seemed really surprised by that move.

Eddie Vega – Right you are, Ben. Murdock thought he had this one in the bag, but the Irish Bounty Hunter still has some fight left!

The two men square off, jawing at each other. Murdock pushes O’Rourke who just smiles at the Hardcore Icon. Murdock shoves O’Rourke again, making O’Rourke laugh. Murdock looks like he’s going for another shove, but O’Rourke bats his arms away and hits a very stiff looking headbutt to the jaw, causing Murdock to stagger backwards and trip over the pipewrench stuck in the mat. Without hesitation, O’Rourke climbs on top of Murdock and starts to pummel him with rights and lefts.

Ben Price – Look at that, Eddie! O’Rourke is giving Murdock the exact same beating he got earlier in the match!

Eddie Vega – Hey, aren’t closed fists illegal?

Ben Price – In a hardcore match? Somehow, I doubt Leroy is going to disqualify anyone for closed fists.

O’Rourke climbs off of Murdock and pulls Murdock up by his hair. Once the Texan is standing, O’Rourke grabs the toolbox. He swings it and hits a glancing blow to Murdock’s head, the impact causing the toolbox to open, various bits of hardware crashing to the mat, and a cut to open over Murdock’s left eye. O’Rourke bounces off the ropes looking to knock Murdock out, but Murdock lifts O’Rourke into a spinebuster on the tools! The crowd cheers as O’Rourke writhes on the mat. A second later, Murdock lands a senton on O’Rourke, driving him into the steel tools again.

After a moment to recover, Murdock rolls out of the ring and grabs a table from under the ring and sets it up near the wheelbarrow. He also grabs a metal trashcan and tosses it into the ring. As he rolls back in, however, O’Rourke is on his knees, trashcan lid in hand. O’Rourke rears back and basically punches Murdock in the face with the rounded edge of the lid. Murdock crashes to the mat holding his head.

O’Rourke puts down the trashcan lid and pulls Murdock back up. After a kick to the gut he reaches under Murdock’s arms, O’Rourke locking his hands together. His eyes shine brightly as he looks to the crowd.

Ben Price – O’Rourke’s going for Death Before Dishonor! How many wrestlers has he beaten with that move?

Eddie Vega – A lot, Ben! This could put Murdock away!

O’Rourke lifts Murdock just a little before dropping backwards, sending the Hardcore Icon head first into the trashcan lid. There’s a sound of a dull crunch as the metal flatten out on the mat. O’Rourke rolls Murdock over and hooks the leg.

… One

…… Two

……… Thre… 

Ben Price – I don’t believe it! After Death Before Dishonor onto a trashcan lid, Murdock still got his leg on the bottom rope!

Eddie Vega – Look, Benjy! I said that that guy is the toughest and that’s true, but he’s also experienced! He’s got ring awareness for days! He knew he was just a few inches away from the ropes and still took the two count to give himself a chance to make a plan!

Murdock rolls to the outside, the cut over his eye bleeding even more after the trashcan lid to the head. O’Rourke grabs the referee by the collar and tosses him out of the ring in anger. As he does, Murdock goes to the wheelbarrow and starts throwing all of the remaining plunder into the ring. Kendo sticks and chairs litter the mat.

Ben Price – Oh, no. This doesn’t look good, Eddie. There are weapons everywhere!

Eddie Vega – I know, Benny! And the crowd is eating it up!

Murdock climbs back into the ring and the two square off again, each of them breathing heavily. Murdock points to all of the weapons in the ring, then at O’Rourke, and then at his own chin, a smile on his face.

Ben Price – Eddie, can you believe it? The Hardcore Icon looks like he’s giving O’Rourke a free shot with anything in the ring!

Eddie Vega – Okay, I love Steve Murdock, but even I wouldn’t let someone like Eoin O’Rourke aka the Irish Bounty Hunter take a swing at me with anything!

O’Rourke smiles back and reaches down grabbing a chair. He brings it back behind his hand and steps into the swing, clattering the seat of the chair against Murdock’s head. Murdock wobbles, but doesn’t go down. He grabs his barbed wire kendo stick and holds it like a baseball player at the plate and swings it, connecting again with O’Rourke’s midsection, drawing even more blood.


The two stand face-to-face in the ring taking turns smashing each other with chair and kendo stick, the crowd chants a mixture of “Boo” and “Yay” with each swing, neither man having a clear crowd advantage. Murdock swings again but O’Rourke blocks it with the chair before throwing the chair into Murdock’s face and then hitting a running jump kick to Murdock’s face, causing Murdock to crumple. O’Rourke throws down the chair and drags Murdock on top of it, moving slowly to the corner. He climbs and looks to the sky. Murdock reaches out and his hand lands on the trashcan.

Ben Price – This is it, Eddie! O’Rourke is going for Diving Irish! After so many shots to the head, Murdock might be out cold, with another big move coming!

Eddie Vega – I think this is all she wrote, Benny, especially with that chair in play!

As he prays briefly, Murdock grabs the trashcan and hurls it at O’Rourke, crotching the Irish Bounty Hunter on the top turnbuckle. Given a moment of reprieve, Murdock gets a sick smile on his bloody face. He grabs the trashcan and puts it over O’Rourke’s head, pushing it down. Then he grabs his barbed wire wrapped kendo stick and hits the trashcan over and over and over, the dull clangs ringing through the arena.

Ben Price – Oh my God! He’s just stuffed O’Rourke’s upper body into that trash can! The man is basically defenseless!

Eddie Vega – Benny, this looks like a car crash waiting to happen! I’m not sure I can watch this!

Murdock struggles to lift O’Rourke onto his shoulders, Eoin barely kicking his legs. Murdock looks over, blood streaming down his smiling face as he leans over, dropping both the Irish Bounty Hunter and himself off of the turnbuckle through the table below.

Ben Price – Jesus! That was a Death Valley Driver from the top turnbuckle to the floor, through a table, with Eoin O’Rourke in a trash can! Eddie, neither man is moving and might be seriously hurt! The referee has started the ten count!

Eddie Vega – My God, Ben. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything like that.

… 1

… 2

… 3

… 4

Steve Murdock starts to stir, rolling off of the horribly dented trash can and onto the floor.

… 5

… 6

Murdock begins to slowly crawl toward the ring as O’Rourke tries to work his way free of the trash can.

… 7

… 8

Murdock has his hand on the ring apron, trying desperately to pull himself up and failing. O’Rourke pushes the trash can off, his green eyes completely glazed over underneath the crimson mask he now sports.

… 9

… 10!

 Ben Price – Neither man made it! A double countout!

Eddie Vega – I may be slightly nauseous, Ben, but I’m not surprised! Both men went through Hell tonight! At least the medics are hurrying down the ramp to check on these two!

Leroy Wallace makes his way over to Eric Wilson, stumbling slightly. He says something to Eric before sliding down the barricade to sit on the floor where a medic tends to his head.

Eric Wilson – Attention, CWF fans! By virtue of a double count out, this match has been ruled…a DRAW!

Ben Price – A draw? Neither man got back into the ring in time. 

Eddie Vega – Neither is going to be happy at that results. 

Ben Price – We’ll have to see where that leads us. 

Eddie Vega – Well while we get these two checked out by Stitch, and then moved to the back. I’m told we’ve got some cameras in the back to catch some things going on. 

Ben Price – To the back we go… 

Fiona O’Connell is in the staging area, waiting to be called down for her match. That’s when she sees Gabriel Tuck approaching. She quickly gets into a fighting stance and Gabriel stays back. 

Gabriel Tuck – I’m not here to fight. 

Fiona O’Connell – Ok, then. What do you want?

Gabriel Tuck – I just wanted to thank you for saving my life mid-match at the Lunar Rumble. 

Fiona looks concerned suddenly, but then hides it.

Fiona O’Connell – How’s the ribs?

Gabriel Tuck – Unbreakable. I guess you affected the heart when you did that punch that bypassed the ribcage.

Fiona nods with a sigh. 

Fiona O’Connell – That would be what confused me when I struck it.

Trelissa Perrault (Off Camera) – If you hadn’t used a finishing move that you barely understood, this would have never happened!

Fiona gets into a fighting stance again as Trelisa Perrault shows up, grabbing onto Gabriel’s shoulder. 

Trelisa Perrault – Gabriel, why are you talking to this strumpet? She nearly killed you with a move that should be illegal, you know. 

Fiona O’Connell – What now? I was just wrestling a match! I was well within my rights to use a move that is NOT illegal. 

Trelisa Perrault – Oh yeah? Why don’t you use the move on me then? I would be ready for it and defeat you. 

Gabriel Tuck – Now, ‘Lisa…I don’t know if this is helpful.

Fiona O’Connell – You want a match, bitch? 

Trelisa Perrault – Of course, you know that I do. 

Fiona O’Connell – Next Vanguard, you and me. If you manage to defeat Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke tonight, bring the Valor title. 

Trelisa Perrault – It’s a date. Come on, Gabriel!

Trelisa storms off, leaving Gabriel behind. He opens his mouth as if to say something to Fiona and then follows her instead. Fiona sighs, looking as if she wants to follow, but then her name is called to go down to the ring. 

Ben Price – Looks like we have a challenge and an acceptance fo next show. But first, we need to go to a commercial. And when we come back… Fiona O’Connell will face off against Viktor Kriegson.

The show comes back from commercial, and it’s right on the announcers as they are ready for the next match up for tonight’s show.

Ben Price – Alright fans.  Our next match is coming up soon, and, on paper at least, would seem to be a giant mismatch as Fiona O’Connell takes on Viktor Kriegson

Eddie Vega – I’d say it’s more accurate to say this match is a potential career ender.  But I suppose we’ll see how Fiona plans to survive the match.

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is set for one fall!  Introducing first, Hailing from Dublin, Ireland.  Standing 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing in 135lbs.  She is a member of the Upstarts. Fiona O’Connell!!!

As ‘Blood’ by Dropkick Murphys plays over the PA, Fiona comes out from the back very much like a boxer, jogging in place, hopping from one foot to the other. She is clearly singing along with her entrance song but no mics pic up her voice and she lets loose a lightning fast flurry of punches before holding up her right hand into the air. Her Mother, Tera, stands behind her and Fiona makes her way to the ring slowly, stopping to shake hands with fans and as the fans cheer, she seems to feed off their energy and then, finally makes her way to the ring where she climbs in and throws another combination of punches and then moves to a corner and waits for her opponent.

Ben Price – Fiona looks a little more determined than usual.  It should be noted that Viktor seemed to really get under her skin with some remarks he made, assuming her religious beliefs and even betraying her of turning her back on the ancient roots of her ancestors..

Eddie Vega – Haha that’s where being Italian is awesome, Benny Boy.  Rome conquered everyone!

Ben Price – Except, notably, the Irish,the Scottish, and.. Well, parts of Modern day Germany.

Eddie Vega – Hey!

Eric Wilson – And introducing her opponent.  Hailing from the Gates of Hades, he stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs in at 300lbs.  He is the Hound of Hades, Viktor Kriegson!!!

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

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

Viktor looks at Fiona and makes his way down the ramp slowly, methodically, like he’s the killer in a horror movie.  He stops several times, drawing out the thrill of the hunt before moving down to the ringside.  He takes his eyes off the ring for a moment and is surprised as Fiona runs and rebounds off the ropes and leaps over the ropes nearest Viktor, hitting him with her variation of the tope con hilo.  Fiona brings him to the ground and immediately moves into a mounted position and begins raining rights and lefts on the man

Ben Price – Jesus Christ!!  Fiona showing the Fearlessness of the Irish as she doesn’t wait for Viktor to get into the ring, she leaps over the ropes and begins hammering him with rights and lefts

Eddie Vega – Rash, Fiona, too rash.  The kid is letting her emotions get the better of her, that’s something Viktor can use against her as the fight progresses.

Ashley Beaton rolls her eyes as the fight starts early and Eric Wilson scrambles out of the ring as Ashley Beaton calls for the bell and immediately begins counting both fighters out.

DING!!  DING!!

Ben Price – Ashley Beaton evidently decided it was easier to start the fight now rather than have to separate the fighters and try to get a proper start to the match

Eddie Vega – Well I can’t say I blame her there.

Fiona finally realizes that she is being counted out and finally gets off of him and makes her way to the ring before standing on the middle rope and shouting at her opponent

Fiona O’Connell – Get the bloody hell in the ring, Coward!

Viktor, for his part gets up and looks at Fiona, smiling a bit but he does not respond to her taunts and resumes his slow pace, pausing as Fiona rebounds off the ropes and seems to go for another high risk move but stops herself.

Ben Price – Viktor seems to have absorbed the attack from Fiona well and is not responding to Fiona’s taunts, like you said, Eddie, it seems his plan to try and use Fiona’s energy and adrenaline against her

Eddie Vega – And we’ve seen this hurt Fiona before.  She relies on emotion, intuition.  And while that has catapulted her onto the scene and made her a fan favorite, we have seen the more cerebral fighters in the CWF use that against her.

Viktor finally gets into the ring and immediately begins making his way towards Fiona.  Fiona hits him with a blinding left-right 1-2 combo but Viktor walks through the punches Fiona feints a left jab but then kicks his shin up near the knee and hits a right hook which Viktor takes in order to grab her, forcing her into a collar and elbow tie up and immediately pushes her backwards and moves her back to the corner where he puts a knee into her 3 times.  Fiona responds after the second knee with a kidney punch.  After the third knee, Viktor headbutts Fiona bringing her to a knee but Fiona stands up and headbutts Viktor right back and Viktor responds by picking her up and planting her in the ring with a belly to belly suplex.

 Ben Price – Well early on, Viktor seems to be trying to set the pace.  Using his size advantage and trying to limit Fiona’s options.  But credit to Fiona, after a massive headbutt, she responds with one of her own

Eddie Vega – That’s what I mean about Fiona’s emotions getting her in trouble.  Viktor brought her to a knee with a headbutt and had to have dazed her.  She gets up and throws a headbutt back, which I promise, rattled her brain more than it did Viktor’s.

In the ring, both Fiona and Viktor get to their feet and Viktor tries to grab Fiona, but she counters with two fast left jabs and then ducks and rolls, avoiding the attempted grapple and comes to her feet, jumping and hitting Viktor in back of the knee with a dropkick.  The blow brings Viktor to a knee and then runs and plants Viktor onto the mat with a running bulldog.  Fiona slips out of the ring and rolls under the ring, prompting Beaton to look around, trying to find her.

Ashley Beaton – Damn it, O’Connell!  Get back in the ring or I’m counting you out!

Ben Price – Fiona obviously taking the chance to set herself up for some more hit and run tactics

Eddie Vega – Hey, she’s fighting a man more than twice her body weight and almost a foot taller than her, I say, whatever helps you even the odds.

Viktor gets to his feet slowly, shaking his head and sees that Ashley Beaton has begun counting..

…1!

… 2!

Viktor looks around, taking a knee, seemingly talking to himself.

…3!

…4!

Fiona exits the under-ring area on the other side and creeps up, crawling onto the top turnbuckle.  

…5!

…6!

Viktor turns around and walks right into a missile dropkick, knocking Viktor back into the ropes, he then pushes himself forward and catches Fiona as she tries to get up, locking her into a side headlock.  He slams a fist into the side of her head and Fiona fires back with punches to his kidney and ribs.  Viktor cuts the counter punch attempts of Fiona off by driving the point of his elbow into the back of her neck, dropping Fiona face first onto the mat like a ton of bricks.  Viktor then pulls Fiona to a knee and locks in another headlock, torquing and increasing the pressure on her neck,

Ben Price – Give him credit.  Viktor has pretty effectively grounded Fiona and is trying to wear her down.

Eddie Vega – Yeah, one has to wonder how long she can keep going at this rate..

Viktor continues keeping the pressure on Fiona’s neck and then stands up, transitioning to a front facelock and then lifts Fiona up, walking to the middle of the ring where he very dramatically makes a motion as if he is trying to draw out Fiona’s very soul before planting her on the mat with a vertical suplex. Viktor wastes no time, moving into a pin..

Ben Price – Soul Snatcher!  It looks like Viktor believes he has taken enough out of Fiona to end this!

Eddie Vega – I suppose she put up a valiant fight.. But in the end, this result was inevitable..

Ashley Beaton slides in and begins counting…

…One!

……Two!

………ThrNO!!

Ben Price – Fiona kicks out at the very last second!

Eddie Vega – Clearly a glutton for punishment, that one.

In the ring, Viktor gets up and begins to pull Fiona to her feet, but Fiona counters with a couple of punches to the gut and then jumps up to her feet, hitting a European Uppercut that actually stuns Viktor for a moment and then rebounds off the ropes and as soon  as she lands, she jumps again and hits a dropkick, that knocks Viktor down to mat.  Fiona jumps on the middle rope and plays to the crowd, bringing them to their feet as she returns her attention to the ring and once more slips out of the ring and crouches down.  Ashley Beaton sighs and once more begins counting.

Ben Price – Well we are getting close to the spooky season and Fiona is looking to be the final girl as she evades the horror movie monster of an opponent she faces.

Eddie Vega – Or one could just call a coward a coward.

…1!

…2!

Viktor gets to his feet while Fiona creeps along the ringside area, positioning herself behind Viktor.

…3!

…4!

Viktor looks around the ring, trying to track where Fiona has gotten to..

…5!

…6!

Fiona comes into the ring behind Viktor and charges behind him and hits him in the back of the knee with a chop block, knocking the bigger man down.  She punches the air in celebration, bringing a roar of approval from the crowd to match her own as she sets her feet and as Viktor struggles back to his feet, she surges forward and hits him plush on the chin with a superkick that actually knocks the man back down.

Ben Price – Well, Unorthodox as it might be for this match, Fiona’s unique brand of hit and run has helped her thus far.

Eddie Vega – Channeling her inner IRA, it would seem.

Ben Price – WHOA!  Did you just compare Fiona with a terrorist movement in Northern Ireland that officially ended before the kid was even born?!

Eddie Vega – Part of her family is from Northern Ireland.  I believe she was technically born there, and some of the criminals and terrorists kept fighting because 

Ben Price – Let’s try to avoid stereotypes based on where people come from.  Unless the next time Fiona comes out of the ring, I tell her what you said and you can explain your logic to her.

Eddie Vega – I’m good, thanks.

Viktor gets to his feet and looks at Fiona, before charging, Fiona ducks the clothesline and hits a pele kick that knocks Viktor back a couple of steps.  Fiona takes the opening and tries for a Heart punch but stops herself.  Viktor capitalizes on her hesitation and grabs her and hits a big headbutt that drops her to a knee.  Viktor grabs Fiona and hurls her with a biel toss into the corner where he charges in and hammers her with a clothesline.  He pummels her with punches until Ashley Beaton steps in and forces him to back off, Fiona slumping to a sitting position as Ashley Beaton moves to check and see if Fiona can continue.

Ben Price – Viktor finally got his hands on Fiona there and gave us a prime example of why Fiona needs to keep moving to have any chance in this match up.  It also looked like she had an opening for the heart punch but hesitated.

Eddie Vega – Which was her mistake. I promise you Viktor Kriegson doesn’t lack that killer instinct.

Fiona answers Ashley’s questions and proves she can keep fighting so Ashley backs off and Viktor resumes his assault and lifts Fiona up onto the top turnbuckle and climbs up after her.  He picks her up as if to go for another Soul Snatcher attempt from the top turnbuckle but Fiona counters and brings him and her to the mat with a backstabber, leaving both fighters down and out on the mat.

CWF Crowd – Holy Shit!  Holy Shit!!

Ben Price – Crowd took the words right out of my mouth, folks!!  Viktor thought he had the match finished but Fiona countered in mid move and hit a backstabber like move!

Eddie Vega – Yeah, but that was also 300lbs of weight coming down on her too, as evidenced by the fact that she is down too, it seems the counter hurt her as much as him

Fiona crawls over to where Viktor lies on the mat, trying to recover and forces herself up to a knee before she sees the opportunity before her and grabs an arm, spinning around to increase torque on the elbow and then sits on his head and shoulders, pulling his arm back against her body.  Viktor grits his teeth, doing his best to avoid any verbal signs of pain as he tries to move towards the ropes.

Ben Price – The Celtic Arm Breaker!  My God, look at the torque she has on his arm!

Eddie Vega – She looks like she’s trying to rip his arm off!

Ashley Beaton slides into place and checks on Viktor.  Fiona pulls back still further and Viktor growls, before crying out in pain and tapping out

DING!!  DING!!

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner, by submission, Fiona O’Connell!!!

Ben Price – What a match!  I don’t think Viktor was prepared for the possibility Fiona would try for a submission!

Eddie Vega – Not to mention, he didn’t have a choice!  Fiona seemed to be more than prepared to break Viktor’s arm.  I think that knowledge had to have factored into his decision to tap out.

After Fiona breaks the hold, she celebrates playing to the crowd.  Viktor gets to his feet and nods.

Viktor Kriegson – Only delaying the inevitable, Fiona.

Fiona pauses her celebration to look at Viktor and watches as he leaves before returning to her celebrations and making her way backstage.

Ben Price – Well, there is a big win for Fiona.  But it seems like she continues to gather opponents.

Eddie Vega – Trelisa Perrault, that crazy Twila girl and now the faction of eNVy, and the Annwynn.  We’ll have to see if the luck of the Irish will stay with her or if her luck is going to run out.
Ben Price – I’m told we’re going to another quick commercial while we get ready for out next match up!

The show comes back and this time the camera is on Eric Wilson and Georgina Ross in the ring. The announcers come over on voice over. 

Ben Price – Welcome back, and we’re ready for out next match up. The former Elite Champion, Kara Reinhardt, and one half of the current tag team champions, Gabriel Tuck. 

Eddie Vega – Scary woman and the man who rides around on a motorcycle with a bunch of actual clowns. 

Ben Price – Tuck had a good Lunar Warfare becoming a co-tag team champion with Trelisa Perrault. Kara Reinhardt has a bad weekend, not winning any matches. I know after seeing her promos over the last couple of weeks, I’d not want to get into the ring with her. 

Eddie Vega – I’d prefer to not be anywhere near her right now. Let alone any other time.

Eric Wilson – The following match up is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, representing the Bad Company Stable. She is a former CWF Elite Champion. Coming in at 6’ and 200 lbs. Hailing from Dresden, in the Federal Republic of Germany. This is KARA REINHARDT!

The lights dim and ‘Ich Tu Dir Weh’ by Rammstein plays over the PA as Kara makes her way out from the backstage area, pausing at the top of the entryway as she looks down at the ring. She makes her way to the ring with a slow, methodical pace and climbs into the ring, climbing between the ropes and making her way to her corner where she holds up a hand and then begins warming up, throwing a few warm up punches in her corner

Ben Price – Kara Reinhardt has openly said she’s not going after the Elite Title while her stablemate has it. But she’s open for challenging for the Conquest Title or even the Valor title to earn that shot. 

Eddie Vega – I’m not sure when she’s the scariest. When she has a belt or not. Between the Reinhardt Fraternal Twins, she has all the potential for being the Evil Twin. 

Eric Wilson – And her opponent… Hailing from the Road. He is one half of the current reigning CWF Tag Team Champions. He comes in at 6’ 2” and 245 lbs. This is “the Iron Wolf” Gabriel Tuck!

“Iron Wolf” by Beastwars begins as Gabriel Tuck walks out from the back. He howls to the fans and they howl in return. This brings out a big grin from Gabriel and he howls again to get another response. He walks down to the ring, slapping a few high-fives as he makes his way. He rolls into the ring and takes his leather jacket off, setting it down in the corner of the ring. He leans in the corner to wait for the match to begin.

Ben Price – One half of the new CWF Tag Team Champions, and his tag team partner, Trelisa Perrault will also have a valor title shot later on tonight. 

Eddie Vega – And by virtue of being in the rumble longer than the others, also now the leader of the nKo. But so far for this cycle, up to this match, the nKo is 50/50.

Ben Price – Yes, while they have claimed the Tag Team Titles, Peak of Freak failed to defeat Gabriel Blight, the other Gabriel in the CWF on Vanguard. And as such will not be contending for the Elite Championship. But, the former recognized leader of the nKo, Madd Morales came out of his match with the new Elite Champion, Greg Salazar, as the winner. Even if it was by… 

Eddie Vega – Did he win?

Ben Price – Yes. 

Eddie Vega – All that matters. 

Eric Wilson – Your referee for this match up, Georgina Ross. 

Ross calls them both to the middle of the ring. Tuck walks over first. Kara comes over after asked a second time by the referee. She runs things down really quick and then calls for the bell. 

DING! DING!

As soon as the bell rings, Kara Reinhardt lashes out with a left jab, that when blocked, the follow up right punch to the face connects. Ross immediately warns Reinhardt. Tuck backs up holding his mouth and checking for any blood. 

Ben Price – Kara Reinhardt starts off with a punch to the face!

Eddie Vega – That’s going to get her in trouble with the referee if she keeps it up.

Reinhardt switches to her preferred, European Uppercuts as she takes Tuck back to the ropes. She then whips him to the other side. She waits, and catches him in the middle of the ring with a lift and twist into a huge spinebuster. She doesn’t go for the pin, and instead starts to hammer him with forearms to his head and shoulders. 

Ben Price – Reinhardt takes Gabriel Tuck down with a huge spinebuster, and then starts laying down the forearms. 

Eddie Vega – I’d ask if she was in a certain moody time frame, but that might get me canceled. I’ll just say, I’m glad she’s in the ring and I’m out here. 

Tuck slips his hands down along his sides, and then pushes her up and off of him. He scrambles to come up and run for the corner. He turns around and lines up. When it looked right, he sprung out from the corner and caught her with a stunner. He grabs her and whips her to the ropes. Thai time he catches her with Thesz press, and once down he starts to do a bit of ground and pound of his own. 

Ben Price – And turn about is fair play when it coems to taking someone down and just starting to hit them. 

Reinhardt takes a few hits but then grabs one of Tuck’s arms and locks it down with a hold, trying to hyperextend his elbow. He moves to get up and off of her, and she holds on, letting him bring her up to her feet. She lets the hold go partially, and then takes him down, flipping him over,  into a crucifix armbar. She tries to hold on and go for a submission. 

Ross goes to her knee to start asking Tuck if he gives up. He shakes his head no immediately. 

Eddie Vega – I don’t think she has him worn down enough yet. 

Kara was yelling for Tuck to just give up and get it over with, but he refused. He was trying to reach for the ropes, but they were just out of reach. 

He eventually managed to get a bit of a roll towards Reinhardt, taking some of the pressure off, and allowing him to change their position just a bit. He ends up eventually getting his foot to the ropes, instead of his hand. 

Ross starts to count for the release. 

… 1

… 2

…. 3

… 4 

… 5, and Reinhardt lets it go right as Ross says the word ‘Five’, getting it down to the very last millisecond to hold on. 

Ben Price – That’s not fully in character for her. She was pushing that till the very end.

Ross actually gets into Reinhardt’s face to tell her to not push her counts that hard after she returns to her feet. Reinhardt puts her hands on her hips, and smirks at her. This all gives Tuck time to get to his feet, while moving his arm to try to see what type of damage was done while in the hold while he leans in the nearest corner.

Eddie Vega – He’s out of the hold, but damage done there. 

Reinhardt finally tells Ross to get out of her way, or be moves. Ross side steps, and Reinhardt goes running into the corner. Tuck surprises her with a lunging back elbow, dropping down to hit her midsection with it, instead of her face. He reaches up and grabs her head, and drops down, slamming her into a stunner, but also hitting her face to the top turnbuckle. Kara falls back, and Tuck decides to climb the turnbuckles to the top. He turns around and drops down with a back senton, landing on Kara’s chest.  

He tries to hook a leg for a pin!

… One

…… Two

…. Kick out. 

Ben Price – Nearfall by the tag team champion. But the toughest woman in the CWF is not done yet. 

Eddie Vega – I’m not sure the Conquest Champion would agree with that statement, but we’ll let them figure that out. Not us, alright?

Reinhardt tries to convert the pin into another attempted submission, but Tuck scrambles to get away from her. As she starts to come up to her feet, he hits the ropes and comes off, trying for a spear, but Kara catches him and turns it into a facebuster across her knee. 

Ben Price – And that puts a stop on the spear takedown. 

Kara holds onto him and stands back up. She scoops him for a bodyslam but then finishes with a Dresden Driver!

She goes for a pin. 

… One

…… Two

…… Th… no! 

Ben Price – And another near fall. But Gabriel Tuck just became one of the few people to ever kick out of the Dresden Driver. 

Both come up to their feet, and Tuck attempts to grab her lower jaw for the Wolf Bite, but Kara slams a fist down on the elbow, making him break the hold. The same elbow she’d singled out earlier. 

Eddie Vega – And she had him scouted for the finisher.

Eddie Vega – Okay, we’re into this match and I’m surprised. We know Kara Reinhardt is here alone tonight. Where are the rest of the nKo?

Ben Price – We’ve heard that the nKo is trying to see if they can win without help. Its trial by fire time here. And did you just admit the nKo needs to interfere to win?

Eddie Vega – No, just wondering where they are.

Tuck pulls Reinhardt in, and hooks her for a backsuplex. He hits it, and tries to hold on, maybe going for another one. But she hits him with a back elbow. She moves away from him, lines up and hits him with a spinning hook kick that clips him on the chin. Tuck stumbles back a couple of steps. 

Ben Price – And a tae kwon do style strike from Kara Reinhardt! Not her usual style, but we’ve seen a lot of cross training within the members of Bad Company. 

Eddie Vega – That was right on the money as well. 

Reinhardt moves in as Tuck was stunned. She grabs him around the waist, lifts and takes him over with a huge German Suplex. She bridges on the landing, going up onto her toes to get the proper angle. 

… One

…… Two

…… The… No, Gabriel Tuck manages to kick out at the last second. 

Ben Price – That one was so very close. 

Eddie Vega – Reinhardt dropped him on his head pretty hard there. She snapped that one over. 

Both get up to their feet pretty quickly. Tuck jumps to the second turnbuckle and tries to come off with a flying double axe handle. Reinhardt blocks by grabbing his wrists, and catches him with a knee to the midsection when he lands. She then straight jackets his arms, and pulls him into a form of front face lock… lifts him up and drops him down with a brainbuster!

Ben Price – Straight Jacket Brainbuster.

Eddie Vega – Just a few weeks ago, in the Elite X match, Gabriel Tuck was dropped on his head with an Oni Driver. Now, he’s being dropped head first by Kara Reinhardt. 

Reinhardt doesn’t go for a pin this time. She gets up first, and looks out to the crowd, and then to the ramp, looking for any nKo members. She shakes her head, and then makes a show of putting her thumb down… then taking it across her throat. 

Ben Price – I think she’s signaling this match is about to be over. 

Eddie Vega – I’ver never seen her do that before. 

Ben Price – There are some saying that Bad Company, at least a couple of them, are developing some bad attitudes. 

Reinhardt helps Tuck up to his feet. She then hooks him for a vertical suplex. 

Ben Price – She’s calling for it to be the end, but that’s not the setup for the Dresden Driver. 

She lifts Tuck up and holds him for a couple of seconds. She takes two steps to the middle of the ring, and then drops him down straight into a Plex Driver (Screwdriver)!

Ben Price – Holy shi…!

Eddie Vega – In this case, you can finish that. Tuck is a bit bigger than her, and she just held him without problem and dropped him down right on his head. 

She leans forward and pulls his leg that had fallen bent at the knee up, Ross drops down to check his shoulders and counts the pinfall. 

… One

…… Two

……… Three!

Ben Price – And the former Elite Champion shows why she’s still one of the most dangerous women in the sport. 

Eddie Vega – She is even more scary now. 

Eric Wilson – The winner of this match, Kara Reinhardt!

Ross raises Reinhardt’s hand in victory, but then Kara pulls it away and slips through the ropes, to head up the ramp as her music plays. 

Ben Price – No nonsense tonight, as Kara Reinhardt came in with a mission and completed it. 

Eddie Vega – And she’s not sticking around to savor the victory either. 

Ben Price – And that takes us to another commercial break. When we come back… I’m told we’ll be hearing from the Conquest Champion!

As the show returns from commercial break, the arena suddenly goes dark.  After a few seconds ‘Golden’ from the KPOP Demonhunters official soundtrack plays over the PA and when the lights come on, Abigail is shown sitting in a throne like chair in the middle of the ring.  Resting on her lap is the CWF Conquest title.  On one part of the chair hangs the 4 Winds Albion Championship, one of the two 4 Winds Dyad title belts hangs on the other side.

Standing in the ring are also her fellow Upstarts. Tetsuo Oni, wearing the 4 Winds North American Championship, and the other Dyad Strap over her shoulder, starts the introductions.

Tetsuo Oni – Ladies, and Gentlemen, welcome back to Warzone. We’re all  out here to celebrate. First, as you know, the Wild Hunt, me and Abby Dresden, won a chance to go to the FWA’s Fallout 54 and join 3 other teams in a match for the Dyad Championships. And, as you can see… the belts have come to the Upstarts. 

The other upstarts start to cheer, and the crowd joins in. 

Ben Price – That is true. The Wild Hunt, as they call themselves, are the new Dyad Champions. This means they should also be looking at CWF Tag Team Title shots in the near future.

Eddie Vega – Why? Cause they beat teams like Central Defense? The Samoan Wrecking Crew and Cinematic Universe? 

Ben Price – Yes. 

Eddie Vega – Whatever.

Tetsuo Oni – But also, we all saw at Lunar Warfare… Abby Dresden broke another milestone. Not only is she the youngest Conquest Champion in CWF history, having won it only days after turning 18 years old. But she also became the 2nd champion to successfully defend the title. Not only that, but she beat the former Champion, Kronin Reinhardt without resorting to any dirty tricks. Just her skill and tenacity. 

She stops for a moment to let the crowd cheer. 

Tetsuo Oni – So let me introduce to you. Your 4 Winds Wrestling Albion Champion, one half of the 4 Winds Dyad Champoins… and your CWF Conquest Champion… Abigail Dresden!

Ben Price – Well, we expected this would happen, usually the champion leads off the show after a pay per view, but once again, Abigail does things her own way and it would seem we are finally about to hear from the champ.

Eddie Vega – I’m just glad we don’t have to listen to Kronin drone on and on.

In the ring, Abigail surveys the crowd for a bit before nodding.  

Abigail Dresden – There are a few ways to define ego.  You could go old school Robbie Williams with his album title ‘the ego has landed’  You could refer to ego as psychology, part of a person’s personality and psychological makeup.  You could use it as a more polite way of suggesting someone is arrogant.

Abigail points to each of the three title belts.

Abigail Dresden – CWF Conquest Champion.  4 Winds Albion Champion.  One half of the 4 Winds Dyad Champions.  Some say ego.  I see confidence.  Confidence in my abilities.  Confidence gained from time after bloody time walking on down here to this ring and doing exactly what I say I’m gonna do.  And on that note..

Abigail carefully stands up and sets the belt down on the chair before she begins pacing around the ring.

Abigail Dresden – Kronin Reinhardt.  I’ve beat you twice in a row now.  You want another shot at this belt?  Gotta earn it.

Ben Price – I’m not sure that’s entirely her choice

Eddie Vega – Go get in the ring and tell her that, Benny boy.  I bet that goes real well for you. And she’s not wrong. How much have we heard about the CWF not doing rematches. Kronin had to earn his last shot. He’d have to earn another one. But Samael Drago won the Lunar Rumble and gets first dibs.

Abigail Dresden – Now, Kara Reinhardt.  I saw that interview.  Think you can take a shot at the big belt?  You’re welcome to take your shot.  I beat your brother.  You’re much closer to my size.  With you?  I think Swansong is on the table.

Ben Price – Now she can’t do that!  Samael Drago is next in line!

Eddie Vega – He’s guaranteed a title shot at the next pay per view.  Eddie Williams has inserted himself into title pictures before, and it seems Kara is doing something similar.

Abigail takes a breath and narrows her eyes.

Abigail Dresden – Samael Drago.  I’ve beat Kronin twice.  A man who you failed to defeat.  So why the bloody hell am I supposed to be intimidated by you?  Because you won a glorified battle royal?  It isn’t like you personally defeated everyone who took part in that match.  You came in first.  You were the last one standing.

Abby gives a small golf clap.

Abigail Dresdden – Well done.  Too bad for you that winning my belt is going to require something more than throwing me out of the ring.  You have to pin me.  1.  2.  3.  Or convince me to give up.  And I would say you have about as much chance of doing that as..Manchester United has of pulling their collective heads out their arses and winning the Premier League.”

Abigail continues to pace around the ring, taking a few moments to think.

Abigail Dresden – I know this isn’t a team  sport, but let’s compare teams.  Firstly, me and the Upstarts.  Tetsu Oni and I won the 4 Winds Dyad titles.  Pacific Rim?  First ever CWF Tag team champs.  Likely soon to get back in that race.  Fiona O’Connell beat your hound earlier tonight.  Miguel Lanza Jr.?  He’s a former Valor Champion, and he and Fiona make a third tag team my team fields capable of mounting serious title challenges.

Abigail Dresden – You?  You have Vespertine and Karlie Nash backing up you and Viktor Kriegson.

Abigail looks out at the crowd, raising an eyebrow

Abigail Dresden – I mean.. I dunno, this is sounding like Oh I dunno.. Trinidad and Tobago putting together an ice hockey team and claiming they could beat Canada.

Tetsuo Oni speaks up really quick.

Tetsuo Oni – And this isn’t like some Disney feel good movie about the Jamaican bobsled team either. 

Abigail pauses as the Canadian crowd comes to their feet cheering

Ben Price – Well that comparison scores some points with the home crowd but it is a bit dismissive of Drago and his teammates

Eddie Vega – Then I suppose it’s up to them to teach the Upstarts some respect isn’t it?  Look, I’m not going to pretend to be their biggest fan, but Abigail has a point.  Her and the Upstarts did exactly what they said they were going to do.  Built a solid faction of second generation talent and have forced the veterans to take the kids seriously.

Abigail Dresden – Now, we have quite a bit of time until you get your title shot.  A lot of time for your allies to prove their ineptitude to you.  A lot of time for you and them to be ground down.  So enjoy the path.  This is not a long path to glory.  It’s a death match.  I am no saint, no knight.  I’m not lawful stupid.  It has not escaped my notice how my parents became living legends.  As for you, you’ll find out on the path to Chicago.  Let’s play.

Abigail drops the mic and retakes her spot on the throne.  Once again, the lights go out and when they come back on again, Abby and her throne like chair.and the rest of the upstarts are gone.

Ben Price – Well that was..theatric.

Eddie Vega – We’re getting the spooky season started early, I suppose. I’ve heard rumors about a couple of the members of the Upstarts. But that’s a bit out of…character.

Eric Wilson steps into the ring, ready to get the next match started.

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is set for one fall!  Introducing first.  She hails from Grand Junction, Colorado.  Standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing in at 140lbs.  Your current reigning 4 Winds Tempest Champoin… She is “Wicked” Kat Hale!!!

The lights begin flashing green, blue, and red as the initial jingle of “Nemo” by Nightwish starts. Kat delays hitting the stage for those initial seven seconds.

She comes out wearing a black leather jacket that stops at her mid-drift, and she comes out with high energy. Throwing up the rock and roll devil horns a few times. Before moving to either side of the stage to engage with the crowd. Pointing towards them and then starting to make her way down to the ring. She’ll continue interacting with fans near the ramp. High-fiving and occasionally pausing to throw up devil horns with other members of the audience.

She makes her way to the south side of the ring, jumps onto the apron, and throws her hands out to either side to pose for the audience. Then, slipping under the middle rope moves to the opposite end of the ring. Climbing on to the middle rope of the turnbuckle, she’ll rock up and down with her head down, covering the top rope until rising and flipping her hair back over her shoulders and pose with her arms spread once again. Pointing to members of the audience.

At last, she’ll step down and strip off her jacket, readying herself for the match. On occasion, if she’s the last competitor out, she’ll turn and sit on the turnbuckle until the bell rings.

Ben Price – Well, this match is, I suppose, a continuation of the Lunar Rumble.  Kat Hale and Dixie Clement literally eliminated each other at the same time and continued to brawl on the outside.  Dixie wanted to get a definitive end to the fight and Kat Hale evidently felt the same and thus, here we are.

Eddie Vega – You know, the more I see of Dixie Clement, the more I kinda like her.  Kat Hale might finally get a dose of karma

Eric Wilson – And introducing her opponent, hailing from San Antonio, Texas.  Standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighing in at 155lbs.  Dixie Clement!!!

The crowd comes to their feet as Dixie’s voice comes over the PA: “Sorry! About your damn luck!” and “Make My Country Rock’ by Cory Marks, ft Sully Erna from Godsmack and Travis Tritt plays over the PA.

Dixie Clement walks out from the back, taking a big drink from her bottle of budweiser and tosses the bottle aside, taking her hat off and playing to the crowd before she points at the ring and charges full speed, sliding into the ring.

Ben Price – And here we have Dixie.  A fairly.. Straight forward woman, if nothing else.

Eddie Vega – Not going to kiss her ass and talk about how amazing she is?

Ben Price – I’ve done a bit of homework on her, sure but in the CWF, we haven’t seen too much of her.  So let’s see if she still has it in her to compete one on one.

Eddie Vega – You know drinking beer and fighting are like national past-times in Texas, right?  I’m going to bet this woman can give Kat a run for her money.

Dixie takes her hat and trench coat off and hands them off to one of the ringside crew as she waits for the bell.   Ashley Beaton calls for the bell.

DING!! DING!!

Dixie and Kat waste no time as both women stand toe to toe and start trading punches.  This continues for about 30-45 seconds, the buzz of the crowd slowly growing into a roar with each punch.  Dixie eventually gets the edge with a right hand and then a series of two more, a kick to the gut and a DDT.  Dixie wastes no time and tries to pull Kat Hale to her feet but she counters with a jawbreaker and then throws a couple of right hands of her own and then whips Dixie into the ropes, only for Dixie to catch her with a lou thesz press which Dixie quickly transitions into a mounted position and rains down punches on Kat Hale.

Ben Price – You know, I’ve never met a Texan wrestler that doesn’t use the Lou Thesz press and punches combo now.  Wonder why that is.

Eddie Vega – Because it’s what Texans do.  Every Texan pitcher wrecks their arms trying to be Nolan Ryan.  The Cowboys try to recapture the glory days of the Jimmy Johnson years.  And every redneck Texas wrestler has to learn Lou Thesz press and punch the opponent in the face repeatedly while down.

Ben Price – You know one of our owners owns a wrestling school in Texas, right?

Eddie Vega – Ah.  Fuck.

In the ring, Kat Hale has managed to grab a rope and Ashley Beaton calls for the break.  Dixie climbs off Hale at the count of 4 and  makes the rounds around the ring before moving back over to Kat Hale, who cuts Dixie off with a punch to the gut and brings Dixie to the mat with a snapmare takedown and then rear chinlock.  Kat grounds her opponent, keeping the hold locked in and then transitioning to a side headlock and then runs forward, planting Dixie face first onto the mat with a running bulldog.  Kat Hale gets to her feet and places a few kicks onto the prone Texan’s body,

Ben Price – Kat Hale fighting back and starting to get some offense going.  If she can build some momentum, she has proven she can take over the flow of a match

Eddie Vega – Ok kids, what Captain Obvious over here just said basically is, if you beat the crap outta your opponent and keep beating the crap out of them, you can reduce the chances they have to hurt you and increase your odds of winning.

Kat Hale pulls Dixie to her feet and wrenches the right arm of Dixie bringing her right back down to the mat.  As Dixie tries to kip back up to her feet, Kat meets her with a superkick that knocks the Texan flat on her back

Ben Price – Holy shit!  Kat didn’t waste any time there as she brought Dixie to the mat and turned her lights out I think with that superkick that knocked her flat on her back

Eddie Vega – Holy Jumpin’ Jesus!  Kat Hale dropped Dixie faster than Arch Manning gettin’ sacked by opposing defenses at a Longhorns game!  I’ll tell you what!

Ben Price – What the..

Eddie Vega – Just tryin’ to make any Texans watching the show feel comfortable by speakin’ more in a language they might recognize

Kat Hale quickly pounces on Dixie and goes for the pin, with Ashley Beaton sliding in to make the count..

…One!

……Two!

Ben Price – No!  Dixie kicks out after two!  Somehow she is still cognizant enough to keep fighting

Eddie Vega – Or it was reflex.  Guess we’ll see.

Kat Hale gets  to her feet and pulls Dixie to her feet as well, Dixie counters with a punch to the gut and Kat responds with one to the face.  She then sends Dixie into the ropes and catches Dixie with a spinning heel kick as she rebounds back towards her, knocking the Texan to the ground.  Kat tries to follow this up with a fujiwara armbar but Dixie is able to counter by reaching out and grabbing the ropes.  Ashley Beaton calls for the break and Kat Hale does release her hold, only to pull Dixie towards the middle of the ring and lifts Dixie’s leg up and slams it knee first into the mat.

Ben Price – Well this has been the fight we expected.  Hard nosed and more focused on a fight rather than a catch as catch can wrestling match.

Eddie Vega – You know, two country girls fighting is kinda hot, maybe the rednecks are onto something.

Ben Price – Is it possible to go just one show without insulting some group of people?

Eddie Vega – Nope.  Freedom of speech.  I have it in my contract.. No cancelling Eddie Vega, baby!

Kat gives Dixie one more time of lifting her leg and slamming it knee first into the mat.  She then begins to pull Dixie to her feet but Dixie counters with a punch to the gut and then another and ends the combo with a right cross, Kat responds with a boot to the gut and tries for a DDT but Dixie counters into a belly to belly suplex.  Dixie then kips up and rebounds off the ropes before jumping up and hitting Kat with an elbow drop.

Ben Price – Dixie starting to build up some momentum here, but this has been exactly what we thought it would be a good fight between two solid talents who are tough as nails

Eddie Vega – I can actually agree with that given that both of these women likely woulda knocked me out by now.

Dixie pulls Kat to her feet and sends her into the ropes before bending over and tries for a back drop, Kat hurdles and continues moving rebounding off the ropes on the other side of the ring.  Dixie continues her route, rebounding off the ropes on her side and catches Kat with a clothesline from hell move that knocks Kat for a loop and knocks her down.

Ben Price – Long Arm of the Law!!!  That hit Kat like a freight train!

Eddie Vega – That was a pretty damn solid impact!

Dixie pats her elbow, signaling to the crowd she’s ready to end the match.  She pulls Kat up to her feet.  Kat tries to fight back with a punch to the gut, Dixie takes it and hits a headbutt.  Kat responds with a jawbreaker and then rebounds off the ropes, trying for a clothesline.  Dixie runs towards Kat, ducking under the clothesline and then sets her feet, spinning around and connects with a discus elbow smash that hits Kat plush on the chin and drops her to the mat.

Ben Price – Texas Justice!!  She might have knocked Kat out cold!

Eddie Vega – Hard to say but the way Kat hit the mat, it’s definitely something she’ll feel later!

Dixie slides into a pinfall and Ashley Beaton drops down to make the count..

…One!

……Two!

………Three!!

DING!!  DING!!

Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the match, by pinfall, Dixie Clement!!!

Ben Price – Dixie Clement picks up her first CWF Singles win in her first attempt.

Eddie Vega – Well, she got what she wanted.  A resolution to the fight.  Will be interesting to see what happens from here, though.

Ben Price – Well ladies and gentlemen, almost done for tonight. We have one more match! Valor Title will be on the line when we return from this final commercial break. 

The show comes back from commercials and it’s not on the ring or the announcers. It’s showing a scene out in a forest.

A cold wind hisses through the pines. The camera pans across a clearing deep in the woods, misty and cold. There’s a dim lantern swaying from a broken tree branch, casting orange light on a wooden pull-up bar hammered into two stumps.

Samael Drago hangs from it, shirtless, his breath visible in the night air. Each pull-up is slow, deliberate, the sound of tendons straining beneath scarred skin. His back is reminiscent of a battlefield. Filled with bruises, cuts, and purple welts, remnants from three wars with Kronin Reinhardt and the 40-man Lunar Rumble he survived from the #1 spot.

Samael Drago – Lasting through forty men… was not easy. Every muscle screamed. Every nerve wanted to quit. But I didn’t. Because pain… is a language I speak fluently. I won, but I have not stopped bettering myself. Unlike you, Dresden, I don’t worry about the illusions of what you call an “everyday existence”.

He keeps doing pull-ups. His body tenses as the muscles tighten.


Samael Drago –  Forty names. Forty ambitions. And I buried them all. Now? Now I look around, and what do I see? The CWF… incestuous, for lack of a better word. Everyone’s kissing somebody’s ass. Salazar helping Abigail. Kara, Kronin, Pacific Rim. I lose track of these partnerships. The Upstarts, clinging to Dresden’s shadow, hoping to matter through association. Half of them so forgettable, I can’t even remember their names.

He stops mid-rep. Hangs there, staring at the camera through the strands of his raven straight hair. His eyes glint in the dark, almost blood-red.

Samael Drago –  Kronin got beaten again. And I lost to him. So maybe, logically, someone might assume… that means Abigail can beat me too. But logic? Logic dies when it meets hunger.

He drops down from the bar, landing heavy on his boots. Silence. He steps closer, the camera catching the faint tremor in his shoulders from exhaustion and adrenaline.

Samael Drago –  Kronin’s an old dog. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But me? I am still learning. Still evolving. After each fight, I understand more about myself… and about this cesspool you all call home.

He crouches down to the camera

Samael Drago –  Abigail, we’re similar, you and I. We both clawed our way here, young, defiant, scarred. But the difference is… you still need people to believe in you. I only need me. Lunar Rumble was destined for me, the child of the Moon.

Drago smirks faintly, and bitterly.

Samael Drago –  You know something? I will let you in on a little secret. I wanted to be Rob Riot when I was a kid. Yes? Can you believe that?. The glory, the violence, the legend. But I grew up. I realized there’s no point in being anyone else… because I am enough. I am enough to take your title. You hold it high like it means you rule the CWF. You do not. You are barely respected. Your associations with the higher-ups position you as more of a pain in the ass than a hero character, which you so badly want to be. Let us face it, you are a Nepo-baby. We don’t like that in my world.

He stands straight again, the lantern light flickering across his face this time.

Samael Drago –  You talk of the UK, 4 Winds. Guess what? I do not care. I am the CWF. I think of nothing but this house. Every drop of blood, every torn muscle, every scar on my back belongs to this ring. This is where I will earn my throne. My house.

An esteemed opponent, Gabriel Blight. He was right – this place has turned into a high school drama, and you, Abigail, are the prom queen clutching the crown. Pathetic, and soon to fall.

Drago simply pauses.

 Samael Drago – You’ve got spirit, I’ll give you that. You’ve earned your victories for some reason. But this ends now.

The camera turns, revealing the rough door of a log cabin in the mountains. A deep growl rumbles from inside. Drago pushes the door open, and a massive grizzly bear lunges out. The camera shakes as chaos erupts.

Drago grapples the beast, teeth bared, the two titans crashing into the snow. The bear’s claw rakes across Drago’s chest, blood splattering against the snow.

With an animalistic roar, Drago drives his meat cleaver into the bear’s heart. Silence. He kneels beside the carcass, his chest bleeding, his face calm. He rips the bear’s heart free, blood steaming in the cold air, and bites into it, like the tribal rituals of the old.

Samael Drago – You’ve never faced anything this primal, Abigail. Be warned. I am there. I am here. I am all around.

The man who hangs from the moon will bring the moonlight with him…. And? It will burn you.

The camera slowly fades to black, as Drago kneels there beside the carcass, bare naked in the cold, with blood running down his teeth, and the half-eaten Bear heart in his hands.

And it’s back to the announcers at their desk. 

Ben Price – I think I’m going to be sick. 

Eddie Vega – Uhm… yeah. I have no idea what the make of that, other than I’m not sure I want to be Abby Dresden right now. 

Ben Price – I’d agree. Samael Drago won the Lunar Rumble. Entering at #1, and ended it as the last man in the ring. I hate to say it, but he is a threat to her title reign. A big one.

Eddie Vega – Well, is Trelisa Perrault, now one half of the tag team champions, a threat to Apathy’s Valor title reign? 

Ben Price – We’re going to find out right here, right now. Take it away Eric!

Eric Wilson – The following contest is for one fall and is for the CWF Valor championship. Featuring first the challenger, weighing in at 160 pounds…she is Trelisa Perrault!

As “Handclap” by Fitz and the tantrums hits the arena, it darkens, and neon colors light the stage and ramp. Trelisa moves onto the stage under a spotlight. Trelisa wears a different elaborate designer jacket each time she takes the stage, as well as a pair of sunglasses.

“Turn it up.”

As the first words hit, Trelisa takes hold of her sunglasses and casts them off her face. She walks down the ramp, and a spotlight follows her, lighting her way. She moves with all the grace of a model on a walkway. As she walks, she lifts her arms out, and then points them in the direction she’s walking. She’s like a queen taking to the stage, and the audience is her domain until she reaches the bottom of the ramp.

“I can make your hands clap”

At that, Trelisa her hand and claps along with the song. The audience joins in, and Trelisa begins a slow walk around to the south side of the ring. Climbing onto the apron, she’ll sway her hips in a dancer’s manner, and she’ll take a moment to blow a kiss to a fan in the front row, bringing her index and middle finger to her lips as she does so. Finally, she slips into the ring, spinning with a dancer’s flair, before turning and moving back toward the opposite corner. Once more, the song announces it can make the audience’s hands clap, and they clap along.

“Every night when the stars come out”

Climbing to the second rope, Trelisa gracefully dips, leaning forward and reaching a hand up as if she were stretching her arms to the heavens, with the only light in the arena coming from the spotlight on her and the phones from the audience, their lit phones making it seem like she is surrounded by stars. At last, she climbs down and gets ready for the match.

Ben Price – This is not the first time that Trelisa has faced Apathy in the ring, but it will be the first where a title is on the line.

Eddie Vega – I don’t recall who won last time. I think it was Trelisa.

Eric Wilson – And her opponent, weighing in at 220 pounds, she is the CWF Valor champion…”Apathy” Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke!

The sound of a vintage picture reel began to click and pop, the screen illuminating up counting down like a picture show. The pops, scratches, nicks and debris covered the screen, the numbers counting down, 5…4….3….2….1….as the reel continued, the faint familiar sound of a text message being composed. The tell tale sound of clicks followed by the sound of a message received. The demonic, distorted voice of SKYND creeps through “You’re gonna have to prove me wrong”. On the screen, a barrage of action shots, in still form from Apathy’s career, centered and fixated, like an old film would. As the arena went down, red and white lights bathing the fans in a sea of color, Elizabeth rises from beneath the stage, head lowered, arms outstretched. A mixed chorus of boos, jeers and cheers pelted at her. She gradually raises her head, soaking in the animosity and fervent support. Inhaling it like a drug

##I love you, now die
I love you, now die
I love you, now die
I love you, now##

As the heavy bass kicks in and the words of the chorus reverberate through the arena, she snaps her head up, a cocky self-assured smirk creeping across her lips as she saunters her way to the ring casually engaging towards the fans either encouraging more of their venomous verbal harassment or acknowledging the respect and adoration from her legions and devotees, basking in the glow.

##Go, in your truck and drive in a parking lot
Do it early, do it now
Do it early, do it now
Go, just park and sit there in your car

It will take twenty minutes
It will take twenty minutes##

##Go, in your truck and drive in a parking lot
Do it early, do it now
Do it early, do it now
Go, just park and sit there in your car
It will take twenty minutes
It will take twenty minutes##

As the perverse and twisted sound of SKYND’s auto tuned verbal melody pulsates through the speakers, Elizabeth stops at the base of the walkway, grinning from ear to ear as she playfully mouths the words, “It will take 20 minutes”, holding up two fingers and flashing them forwards and backwards as she says “20 minutes”, then rushes the apron, hopping up and catapulting herself over the top rope, rolling through to the far side of the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and extending her arms, bowing aristocratically and smugly as her coup de grace

Elizabeth hands the referee, Scott Jones, the Valor title and goes to her corner to prepare for the match. 

Ben Price – Apathy seems to think that this match is only going to take twenty minutes. 

Eddie Vega – And it might. Apathy could claim victory in under that, or Trelisa could. Who knows?

As the bell sounds to start the match, Trelisa advances on Apathy, striking her with several knife hand chops, followed by a roundhouse kick! This combination does not bring Apathy down, who returns the favor with several hard right hands to the side of the head. 

Apathy gets Trelisa to back up a few steps before grabbing her and whipping her into the ropes. On the rebound, Apathy grabs Trelisa up in a fireman’s carry and drops backward to slam her into the mat. 

Apathy springs back to her feet quickly and grabs Trelisa to pull her up, but is drawn down into a jawbreaker! Trelisa stands up and kicks Apathy before she can get up to keep her down. Trelisa applies a rear-naked choke, keeping the pressure on. Scott Jones checks to see if she will submit, but she refuses. 

Ben Price – Apathy still in this, but for how long?

Eddie Vega – Isn’t this hold illegal? It’s a choke.

Ben Price – I don’t rightly know. Scott Jones isn’t calling for it to be broken.

Eddie Vega – I suppose that is true. 

Apathy grabs hold of Trelisa’s arms and slowly works her way to her feet. She then stamps on Trelisa’s foot to loosen the hold and flips Trelisa over and onto her back. 

Trelisa works to get right back up, but is grabbed for a double underhook backbreaker! Apathy goes for the cover while Scott Jones gets into position to make the count.

….one

……two

…….thr-Trelisa kicks out! 

Apathy kneels up and looks at Scott Jones, who holds up two fingers so that she knows that it was only a two-count. Apathy gets back to her feet and kicks Trelisa in the side of the face in a move that sends a spray of blood and spittle across the mat. 

Apathy then pulls Trelisa up and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex. Apathy walks over to the corner and waits for Trelisa to get up so that she can run and do a superman punch, but Trelisa catches her in mid-air with a superkick! 

Ben Price – What a counter!

Eddie Vega – Yeah, I wouldn’t have tried that. 

Ben Price – Trelisa could win this yet!

Eddie Vega – Nah, this is all Apathy. 

Trelisa Perrault gets to a corner and blows a kiss to the crowd before rushing at Apathy, who is working on getting back up. She goes for the running knee strike, but Apathy rolls out of the way for Trelisa to go through the ropes to the outside of the ring!

Apathy slides out of the ring and grabs Trelisa by the back of the head so that she can bash the smaller woman’s head into the ring apron! A quick ddt to the concrete is what follows this. Apathy gets up and grabs Trelisa, whipping her into the ring steps to demolish them. She then rolls back into the ring and then out again to reset the count. 

Apathy walks over to where Trelisa is trying to get up and suplexes her to the concrete floor! She gets up and pulls Trelisa up again, rolling her into the ring and following. 

Ben Price – That’s the way to do it. Can’t win it outside of the ring.

Eddie Vega – Well, yeah.

Apathy gets into a corner and watches as Trelisa slowly gets up. She rushes and goes for the superman punch again and nails it! As Trelisa staggers, Apathy gets her up into the air in a fireman’s carry, and moves to spin her to land Trelisa onto her face, but Trelisa moves and DDTs Apathy to the mat! 

Ben Price – And again Elizabeth has tried and failed her finisher. 

Eddie Vega – I’m sure that a third time will work out and end this match. 

Trelisa gets up and pulls Apathy up, applying a sleeper hold and performing a sleeper drop. She goes for the cover as Scott Jones gets into position to make the count. 

….one

……two

……..thr- Apathy kicks out! 

Trelisa kneels up and looks to the ref, who motions that it was a two count. She draws Apathy up and whips her into the corner while following and hit a leaping avalanche! She holds APathy by the shoulders and hits several knee strikes before climbing up to the second turnbuckle and laying into Apathy with hard right hands. Scott Jones yells at her to get down and back away before starting th count to five. 

As he gets to five, Trelisa jumps down and backs away. Apathy steps out of the corner and takes a wild swing at Trelisa, nearly hitting Scott before she flops down on her face! Trelisa goes to the ropes and bounces back as Apathy slowly gets up and goes for a knee strike to the face, but Apathy rolls out of the ring to avoid the strike. Trelisa slides out of the ring from the missed impact and gets right back up. She walks around to Apathy, who is up and rolls back into the ring. Trelisa follows, but Apathy begins stomping on her to prevent her from getting back to her feet. 

Ben Price – A trap sprung by the champion. 

Eddie Vega – She is a wily champion. 

Apathy pulls Trelisa up and gets her into a suplex position i the air. She bounces Trelisa’s legs off of the top rope and falls back into a brainbuster! She goes for the cover while Scott Jones gets into position for the count. 

….one

……two

……..thr-Trelisa kicks out!

Ben Price – She almost won the match there. 

Eddie Vega – She should try her finisher again. Third time is the charm. 

Ben Price – This is true.

Eddie Vega – I wonder if Apathy can get to five defenses?

Elizabeth wraps her arm around Trelisa, lifts them up and then drills their back onto her knee. After a moment of pushing them harder into her knee, she lifts them straight up and then gives them a big boot to the face in a move called the Kiss of Death. 

Elizabeth goes to the corner and waits for Trelisa to get up before running at her and hitting a superman punch. As Trelisa starts to fall, Apathy grabs her up into a fireman’s carry, spinning her out to land her on her face to compete the move called Death before Dishonor. She goes for the pinfall as Scott Jones gets into position. 

….one

……two

……..three! 

Eric Wilson – The winner of the match via pinfall and STILL CWF Valor champion…”Apathy” Elizabeth Devereaux-O’Rourke!

Ben Price – One defense down, four to go. 

Eddie Vega – What a great match!

Apathy celebrates in the ring while Trelisa Perrault slinks off to the back. Gabriel Tuck meets her halfway down and helps her to the back. 

Ben Price – So of the nKo, only Madd Morales won a match. 

Eddie Vega – He won by disqualification so I’m not sure that it really counts as a win, but yes. 

Ben Price – Crazy.

Eddie Vega – Looks like Gabriel’s little pep talk was not helpful. 

Ben Price – Not really. But I’m sure they’re rebuilding. It’s only his first full show cycle as the new leader. In the meantime, that’s it for Warzone tonight. We’ll catch you next time!

Eddie Vega – This has been Eddie Vega and Ben Price for the CWF’s Warzone. We hope you enjoyed the show tonight. Tune in next time and remember… 

BOTH – #JOINTHECONQUEST
