||Warzone|| Season 4 || Episode 8 || Detroit, Michigan – Tribes Form||
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.

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 newly rebranded Casey’s Center, formerly the Little Caesars Arena, in Detroit, Michigan. As the drones go over the crowd a graphic display shows that 18358 CWF fans have joined the show live in the arena, out of a capacity of ~22,000 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 8th Episode of CWF’s Warzone in our 4th Season. We’ve got just two more Warzones till Tribal Warfare in Chicago! And we have an awesome show for you tonight. We have two CWF Title matches!
Eddie Vega – First let’s mention our main event. Finally, the man who won the #1 contendership of the Elite Championship, Gabriel Blight, will face his former faction leader, Greg Salazar in a Boot Camp rules match up.
Ben Price – And the other title match, the CWF Tag Team Champions, Gabriel Tuck and Trelisa Perrault of the New Kharnival Order will face the challenge from eNVy who won a shot two Warzone’s ago.
Eddie Vega – Which could lead to some tension in the new Eternal Grove Stable, as the Annwyn, Samael Drago and Viktor Kriegson are looking at a Tag Title shot here soon, if they want it.
Ben Price – That’s true, but they could also use that to guard the tag team titles if their teammates win here tonight.
Eddie Vega – And that would be awesome. We’re also going to see Samel Drago, our number one contender for the conquest championship, face off against Kara Reinhardt tonight. Who has been showing some… aggression recently since losing the Elite Championship at Lunar Warfare in the Elite X match, to her own stablemate.
Ben Price – I’m sure that’s gotta hurt. But she has to be concentrating on Drago tonight, not the Elite Champion, Greg Salazar.
Eddie Vega – And we’ll see our Conquest Champion in action tonight after last Warzone’s surprise pin against her in the tag team match. Tonight, she’s facing Madd Morales. And if he beats her, he will be added to the Conquest Title match at Tribal Warfare.
Ben Price – That’s already a packed show, but we’ll be starting tonight with a hardcore match up… a Black Friday brawl, between “The Hardcore Icon” Steve Murdock, and the returning Zolothach, aka Tabitha Osborne.
Eddie Vega – And there is still an unanswered question going into Tribal Warfare here with only a few more shows till Tribal Warfare. Who is going to side with Jeremiah Vastrix as he’s opening challenging Armand Von Krauss for his shares of the CWF.
Ben Price – that’s true. Last Warzone, Vastrix tried to recruit the Upstarts. But… they seem to not be willing to fight for Vastrix against the nKo. But, it also doesn’t seem that others are open to fight on the side of Vastrix. It would appear that the idea of facing the nKo with Armand Von Krauss is not a desirable mission to take up.
Eddie Vega – We’ve seen Armand Von Krauss almost murder people in the ring. I’m not sure anyone would be dumb enough to openly oppose him. And Jeremiah Vastrix is a huge unknown in that match up.
Ben Price – Well, we’ve got a shot to get to tonight. I’m told we’re going to go to check in on Zolothach and Steve Murdock as they’ve been allowed to go shopping for their Black Friday Brawl match up!
Eddie Vega – So much hardcore on tonight’s show.
Segment – Shopping Trip (Murdock & Zolothach)
At the Steve Murdock Emporium of Hardcore pop-up store not far away from the arena (they are like the Spirit of Halloween stores that pop up for Halloween, these pop up weeks before a show and leave not long after the show). We find Steve Murdock pushing a cart with several items in it. A garbage can filled with tools, a steel chair, and other implements of destruction. He seems to be in his own little world as he pushes the cart around a corner and runs straight into another full cart being pushed by Tabitha Osborne. The two glare at one another before Tabitha pulls out a pair of garden shears and snaps them a few times.
Tabitha Osborne – You’re gonna be a female wrestler when I get finished with you.
Steve Murdock – I don’t think so. Catch!
Steve throws a glass sphere filled with lemon juice and a bomblet at Tabitha, striking her in the forehead. The thing explodes, embedding broken glass into her face while also blinding her with the flash and soaking the wounds with lemon juice. Tabitha’s hands fly up to her face while she screams out like a banshee in pain. She tosses the cart to the side and then shoves Murdock’s cart into him, grabbing out a kendo stick and whipping it across his face in a blind strike.
Ben Price – I guess this match is starting off a couple of miles from the arena.
Eddie Vega – I guess so and Steve is ahead of the game.
Tabitha steps back and wipes at her eyes before plucking a couple of glass shards out of her face. Her vision clears only for her to see a steel chair coming at her, quick to strike her in the face! She is knocked down to the floor where she grabs a nail gun from her spilled cart.
Ben Price – A nail gun with a disabled safety? Is that really for sale at the Emporium?
Eddie Vega – It would seem so. Though I don’t for the life of me know why such a thing would be sold there.
Steve’s eyes go wide as Tabitha fires off a couple of nails that find their target in his right shoulder. He drops the steel chair, letting out a yelp of pain. He kicks the nail gun from Tabitha’s hand, sending the nail gun firing several shots up, shattering a phosphorescent light tube that showers glass on the two down below.
Tabitha Osborne gets to her feet and kicks Steve Murdock in the gut before lifting him up and slamming him on the side of her spilled cart. She picks up the steel chair and smashes it onto Steve’s right shoulder and the side of his head over and over again, breaking the chair. She reaches onto the shelf and grabs a barbed wire baseball bat. She holds the bat by her face with a smile, licking the barbed wire, cutting open her tongue, and spreading blood onto the weapon. She brings the weapon down across the side of Steve’s face, ripping open his right cheek with the barbed wire. She looks at the weapon and nods, picking up her cart and putting the weapon into it.
Ben Price – Still shopping?
Eddie Vega – They have to get ready for the match to come.
Ben Price – I think it’s already started.
Eddie Vega – Where’s the ref?
Ben Price – I’m being told that Troy Reynolds is on the way.
Eddie Vega – Oh, well then.
Tabitha Osborne walks away with her cart while Steve Murdock lies on the floor. He slowly sits up and grabs a claw hammer from the shelf. He pries each nail out of his shoulder from the bone, letting out a strangled cry of pain with each nail being removed. Elsewhere in the store, Tabitha hears this pain and smiles.
Steve applies pressure to the bleeding wounds to try to get the bleeding to stop while he stands up and grabs his cart with one hand. He begins to push the cart with a growl.
Ben Price – I guess they’re done fighting?
Eddie Vega – Zolothach isn’t done shopping, is all.
Tabitha Osborne is almost to the check out lane when a shopping cart is shoved into her, t-boning her cart and knocking it down. She turns to face Steve Murdock and catches a fireball to the face!
Ben Price – That is going to leave a mark!
Eddie Vega – Sure is. Goodbye eyebrows!
Steve grabs Tabitha with an iron claw and slams the back of her head into a shelf before picking her up in a body slam position and throwing her into a shopping wall of merchandise. She hits the floor with coal miner’s gloves falling onto her. Steve picks one up and puts it into his cart while then grabs another and puts it onto his right hand. As Tabitha starts to get up, Steve hits a few shots to the side of the head before picking her up again and tossing her down the aisle. Steve then pushes Tabitha’s cart out of the way so that he can bring his cart up to the checkout and starts to put weapons and such onto the conveyor belt.
Steve Murdock – There are some damages…put it all on her tab.
Steve grabs a box of thumbtacks from the cashier after they have been rung up and spills them onto the floor. He walks over to grab Tabitha and slams her onto the tacks. He walks back over to the cashier and pays her, grabbing several bags of stuff to put them in the garbage can and walk out of the store.
Tabitha gets up and starts picking thumbtacks out of her body, but stops as she can’t reach them all. She pushes her cart to the checkout lane and begins to get her stuff ringed up.
Cashier – Steve said that you’ll pay for damages?
Tabitha Osborne – Sure, whatever. Send the bill to the CWF, you might want to address it to Valora Salinas. She’s in charge of our expenses, and she’ll make sure the company pays.
Cashier – Alright.
Tabitha pays for her purchases and pushes the cart. She glances over her shoulder as she walks out of the store.
Tabitha Osborne – I’m taking the cart too!
Ben Price – I guess now they will be heading for the arena?
Eddie Vega – They’d better hurry up since they’re first up.
Ben Price – They’re literally 20 minutes down the road still!
Eddie Vega – You sure?
Singles Match – Black Friday Brawl – “The Hardcore Icon” Steve Murdock -vs- Zolothach (Part 1)
The camera goes back out to where Murdock and Zolothach are currently… needless to say, it’s not at the Arena.
Outside of the store, which clearly was a Circuit City at one time, we find Steve Murdock standing at a bus stop. The stop is decorated with a plexiglass shelter with a metal bench. He is sitting at the bench and waiting for the bus to arrive. Tabitha pulls up with the cart not a few minutes later. She glares at Steve.
Tabitha Osborne – I thought you drove.
Steve Murdock – My son, Alex, has the vehicle. What about you?
Tabitha Osborne – I can’t get a license.
Steve Murdock – You took the whole cart?
Tabitha Osborne – Might as well since I’m also going to be billed for damages to the store. Thanks, by the way.
Steve Murdock – You gonna use the cart as a weapon?
Tabitha Osborne – Likely, yeah.
Steve Murdock – Wanna start now while we wait for the bus?
Tabitha draws an un-bladed hockey stick from the cart she has.
Tabitha Osborne – Thought you would never ask.
Steve grabs his barbed wire baseball bat from one of the bags sitting by him and stands up. Tabitha brings down the hockey stick in an overhead smash, but Steve blocks it with the bat. Tabitha draws the stick back and parries as Steve thrusts with the baseball bat. She looks at the bat and sees the blood where she had licked the barbs.
Tabitha Osborne – I was going to buy that bat!
Steve Murdock – And yet, you didn’t. You snooze, you lose!
Tabitha yells out in anger as she brings the hockey stick to bear against Steve over and over again, but is blocked at each turn with the baseball bat. Well, he blocks until the last blast with the hockey stick breaks the stick against the bat and where the blade would go slams into Steve’s face! He drops the baseball bat and Tabitha grabs him by the back of the head and smashes his face into the plexiglass wall inside the shelter a few times, drawing blood.
Ben Price – I guess the match is starting now?
Eddie Vega – No. Troy is on the bus on his way there.
Ben Price – He don’t drive either?
Eddie Vega – He flies everywhere. Why have a car when he can do that?
Ben Price – He could rent a car from the airport? I did.
Eddie Vega – Guess you making the big bucks then? Wait, I rent a car too.
Tabitha applies a full nelson on Steve and uses his move to smash Steve’s face against the plexiglass some more, leaving bloody faceprints. A woman and two kids walk up to the shelter, looking like they want to wait for the bus, but quickly walk away when they see Tabitha hit a full nelson suplex on Steve, slamming him into the metal bench inside the shelter.
Mom – Come on, we don’t need to ride the bus that badly. Your Uncle Irwin can pick us up.
Son – But that’s the Creepy Uncle!
Mom – Yes, but he drives a station wagon so let’s go!
They quickly leave the scene as Taitha grabs her own box of thumb tacks from her cart. She grabs Steve by the nose, pinching it. Once he opens his mouth to breathe, she dumps a bunch of tacks in there and hits a roundhouse kick to the cheek where the bulk of these are. Steve spits out a bunch of the tacks and blood from the impact, but a few stick out through his cheek to the outside. Tabitha dumps some more of the tacks onto the bench and dumps Steve chest-first onto the bench so he can be stabbed by a bunch of them while his face is over the side of the bench so he can cough up and spit out the majority of the tacks that were poured into his mouth.
Ben Price – Jesus! Thumb tacks in the mouth?
Eddie Vega – It is a Black Friday Violence Extravaganza match, right?
Ben Price – I don’t think it’s called that, but I forget what it’s called.
Eddie Vega – Me too, so I made something up.
Tabitha jumps up and drops a leg across the back of Steve’s neck, knocking him to the floor. She gets back up and pulls the bloodied Steve to his feet and notices out of the corner of her eye that the bus has arrived. She whips him into the side of the bus and grabs his bags to throw them at him. She grabs her cart and gets on the bus with it, while Steve is slow to recover so that he can grab his bags and board the bus.
At the back of this double bus (two buses front to back with a stretchy thing in between the two), Troy Reynolds gets off of the bus, not seeing Steve or Tabitha get on the bus. He looks over the bloodied bus shelter and the tacks everywhere as the bus drives away. He kicks the side of the bus shelter.
Troy Reynolds – God dangit!
About this time, a police siren is heard with a short burst as the police car pulls up with a policeman getting out of the passenger side of the car.
Policeman – Destruction of public property, eh? That will be a ticket and a court appearance for you, young man!
Troy Reynolds – Shit…
Ben Price – Well, it seems that Zolothach and Steve Murdock are on their way to the arena so we can maybe have some of the match in the arena when they get here.
Eddie Vega – We might need a new referee by the time they get here if they decide to bring Troy in!
Ben Price – Yeah, looks like they are not happy over the blood and the thumbtacks either.
Eddie Vega – Wrong place, wrong time.
On the back of the bus, we can see a bloodied barbed wire baseball bat bursting through one of the side windows.
Ben Price – We have to get to our first commercial break… more when we come back. Not sure if it’ll be more of this, or if we’re going to Samael Drago and Kara Reinhardt!
The show comes back from commercials with the camera on the announcers.
Ben Price – Welcome back. We have no current update on Zolothach, Tabitha Osborne and Steve Murdock as they have started their match ON THE BUS on the way here!
Eddie Vega – Which I’ll note is the most Zolothach or Steve Murdock thing to happen.
Ben Price – This is not what Murdock should want just a few weeks from Tribal Warfare with the Insurgency Cage Match he’ll be in against Eoin O’Rourke.
Eddie Vega – I agree, but it is what he’s got. So while we’re waiting for them, and we will bring you any updates that come in… lets get to our next match up.
Ben Price – Yes, let’s get to Samael Drago and Kara Reinhardt.Oh, wait… I’m getting an update told to me from production here…
Eddie Vega – What? And why are you getting an update and I’m not.
Ben Price – You’re not listed as an associate producer of the show…
Singles Match – Samael Drago -vs- Kara Reinhardt
‘Awen’ by Eluveitie plays over the PA and Abigail Dresden makes her way down to the commentary desk, wearing a hoodie in an obvious nod to her mother’s preferred fashion sense, taking note of the crowd’s reaction and waving a bit to the crowd before putting her headset on and getting settled.
Ben Price – Alright fans, before we get to the next match, we have a special guest commentator, and boy.. This really adds fuel to a potential fire already.
Eddie Vega – We’re joined by the Conquest Champion, Abigail Dresden. Abigail, can you give us an injury update?
Abigail Dresden – 100% I’ll show that in the next match when I beat Madd Morales from one end of the ring to the other. And sadly, Drago’s minion Karlie failed, as she usually does, to take me out or soften me out.
Ben Price – Well while we get ready for Drago, who will challenge you for the Conquest title in Chicago at Tribal Warfare, what are your thoughts on the match?
Abigail Dresden – Should be a great match. I applaud Kara for her knowledge of how many times us ‘barbaric’ types embarrassed the ‘civilized’ Greco-Roman civilizations, and Kara has been on a rampage since losing the Elite title. She’s like She Hulk unleashed at the moment. On the other hand, Drago is an amazing athlete. Like him or not, and I don’t but the man entered at number 1 in the Lunar Rumble and won the damn thing. He pushed Kronin to the limit in their series of matches, I’m taking him very seriously.
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is a standard match and it is set for one fall! Introducing first, he hails from the Academy of Plato himself. Standing 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs in at 218lbs. He is the Moonchild, Samael Drago!!!
When the first notes of “Moonchild” by Fields of the Nephilim hit, snow begins to fall on the ramp on. 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.
Drago slows his pace when he sees Abigail and turns and makes his way to the commentary desk. Abby stands up, pointing to the ring.
Abigail Dresden – You better get your ass in the ring,
Samael Drago taps the side of his head, the temple area and points to Abigail who gives him the finger
Ben Price – Abigail, to calm this situation down, are there any rules for you? In the past, Valora was told she was strictly a non-combatant when out here.
Abigail Dresden – Yes, both her and Blaise made it abundantly clear. I can defend myself, but if I attack anyone without provocation, I’ll be stripped of my belt and suspended without pay.
Abby grins as she points at Drago
Abigail Dresden – And you. You attack me without provocation, you lose your title shot. Focus on Kara, you’re going to have your hands full with her.
Drago points at Abigail
Samael Drago – Our time comes soon enough.
He says before turning and climbing into the ring.
Ben Price – Alright.. That’s over.. Eddie? Abby? What are your thoughts on Drago? I mean Abigail did a good job recapping his recent accomplishments. I find myself thinking he could win the belt.
Abigail Dresden – He has to beat me first.
Eddie Vega – But you did get knocked out cold. You aren’t invincible.
Abigail Dresden – Neither is he.
Eric Wilson – And introducing his opponent. She hails from Dresden, Germany. She stands 6 feet tall and weighs in at 200lbs. She is a member of Bad Company, 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 looks at the commentary desk as she passes, but quickly refocuses on Drago as she 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 – Again, I find myself agreeing with Abigail. Kara has been on a rampage since losing the Elite title. Gabriel Tuck was the first victim of her revenge tour and she.. Well dominated him.
Abigail Dresden – Tuck was adopted and raised by the von Krauss duo.. He’s probably used to being dominated. But let’s hear from Kara’s number 1 fan.
Eddie Vega – Ha! Good one on Tuck there, but I’m not a fan of Kara! She scares the shit outta me! You described her as She Hulk. I think you’re right on the damn money.
In the ring, referee Ashley Beaton goes over final instructions as Eric Wilson leaves the ring and makes his way to his ringside spot as Beaton calls for the bell
DING!! DING!!
Ben Price – Well, here we go, we’re going to see what Kara can do against the challenge of Samael Drago. You know, he is your challenger at Tribal Warfare for a title. Kara has made it clear she wants to be in contention as well and claims her reign as Elite champion is proof of her worthiness. If she defeats the number 1 challenger here..
Abigail Dresden – I have no problem defending the belt against her. She’s definitely earned the shot and if she wins here tonight, it will be even harder to say she doesn’t.
Eddie Vega – Who are you hoping will win, Champ?
Abigail Dresden – Well, we are allied with Bad Company and they, at least, are honorable. They have a code, they follow that code. Drago and his minions and lackeys? Not so much. So, simply because I do not like him, Kriegson, Karlie aka mindless goon number 56,769, or Vespertine who doesn’t even make the cut for a B level indie horror movie, I’d have to say I would like to see Kara take Drago down a few pegs.
In the ring, Kara and Drago lock up in a collar and elbow tie up, both struggling for an advantage. They go back and forth for a while, both fighters trying the tactic of knee strikes and so Drago hits Kara with a knee, she responds with a knee of her own. Eventually Kara throws Drago to the ground and breaks the hold. She makes her way over to Drago and pulls him up, driving the point of her elbow into the back of Drago’s neck while she then moves to a side headlock, punching Drago on the head as she holds him.
Ben Price – Kara is still in a foul mood. She goes right back to her ruthless style of attack. Now, focusing on the fighters a bit, let’s look first at Kara. Abigail, as a fellow competitor, can you give us insight on Kara? I mean the fans see a woman who regularly performs amazing feats of strength
Eddie Vega – I still say she should be tested!
Abigail Dresden – Firstly, we do get tested on a regular basis. Look, far as I can tell, Kara isn’t like a Tom Brady or something who monitors every little thing she eats and such, I remember those days when I was a footballer. But while she still eats like a normal person, she’s very disciplined. She spends a lot of time in the gym working out, I almost always see her with a protein shake or something similar to help her recover faster from working out, and we see the results in the ring. Kara is someone you need to take seriously. Especially now. Like I said, she reminds me of She-Hulk.
Kara continues to hammer Drago as she holds him in a side headlock and Drago counters this by wrapping an arm around Kara’s waist. He takes a couple of tries but eventually is able to power Kara off her feet and brings Kara to a mat with a hybrid wrestling slam and greco-roman style wrestling takedown. Drago wastes no time before he has reversed the situation, pulling Kara to her feet and locking in a side headlock as well as he too, begins hammering Kara in the head.
Ben Price – and Drago is also well skilled in technical wrestling as we saw there. An expert way to counter!
Abigail Dresden – Yeah he is very good. Now if only he would trust in his skill instead of having his lackeys win matches for him. I mean his series of matches against Kronin.. I will bet you will see highlights from those matches or those matches in their entirety whenever CWF comes out with ‘greatest ever’ compilations. But at least two if not all three were marred by outside interference. He went from number 1 entrant into the Lunar rumble to win the whole damn thing. He will likely take me to the limit at Tribal Warfare. But he somehow got it into his head that he can’t win on his own. I think if he trusted himself and his abilities, the sky would be the limit for the man.
Eddie Vega – Hey now, the Upstarts have used outside interference.
Abigail Dresden – Yeah almost every time was in response to an attack by other groups.
Drago puts Kara on the mat with a headlock driver style takedown move, taking up a mounted position and begins hammering Kara with rights and lefts. Kara gets her arms up to block but a few of Drago’s punches get through her defenses and score hits.
Ben Price – Drago taking Kara to the mat and right now, both seem to be more fighting an mma style match than a wrestling match
Abigail Dresden – Drago might regret that, having been in the ring with and against Bad Company before, I can say MMA style fighting is right in the middle of Kara’s comfort zone. It’s literally playing to her strengths.
Eddie Vega – Well that might be but it seems to be working, Drago has drawn some blood it looks like
Kara manages to get her defenses set and counters, catching one of Drago’s punches and locks in a triangle choke. Drago struggles trying to break free as Ashley Beaton carefully checks and monitors the situation
Eddie Vega – God damn it.. I don’t even know why I bother sometimes..
Abigail Dresden – Told you she was good. Though, if I were to indulge my inner Eddie, I would make note of the fact that Kara has an impressive list of chokes, sleeper holds and similar moves. Maybe she’s just smart and knows that you need oxygen to fight, maybe she has.. Well, I’m not going to kink shame or anything..
Ben Price – To get back to wrestling topics, Abigail, Do you have commentary about the Valor title match? You must be watching that carefully.
Abigail Dresden – Of course I am. I’ve said Apathy had this in her, mostly because I have my mom as my mom and the fact that she still refers to Apathy as her ‘Hermana’ says something. I’ve also watched old film of her and my mom. Anyone who says Apathy is not a dangerous opponent is either an idiot and/or hasn’t done their due diligence. Nathan is out of the game, for how long we’ll see, but Apathy is now just one win away from being only the third wrestler to complete the five defenses.
In the ring, after some work, Drago manages to get a foot on the ropes and Ashley Beaton calls for the break but Kara refuses to break the hold, instead cinching it in more. In desperation, Drago even taps and Ashley Beaton repeats her demand to break the hold.
Ashley Beaton – Damn it, Reinhardt! Break the god damn hold!!
Kara Reinhardt – Nein
Ashley Beaton shakes her head and begins counting
…1!
…2!
…3!
….4!
Kara finally breaks the hold, leaving Drago on the mat gasping for breath and as Kara stands, Ashley Beaton jumps up and gets in her face
Ashley Beaton – Ignore my commands one more time and I’ll DQ you!
Kara ignores the remarks and immediately drags Drago into the middle of the ring and tries to lock in a camel clutch style move but this time Drago blocks and powers up to a standing position before planting Kara on the mat with a version of the electric chair drop.
Ben Price – And again we see Kara ignoring the referee and being even more ruthless
Abigail Dresden – She didn’t break any rules. She has a five count to break a submission hold. If the roles were reversed, do you think Drago would break the hold the moment Kara reached the ropes? Hell no. I don’t see anything wrong with Kara holding on for a few extra moments.
Eddie Vega – Exactly!
Drago pulls Kara to her feet and sends her into the ropes, running in the opposite direction and rebounding off the ropes on the other end of the ring, heading towards Kara who has come off the ropes on her end, the two move at full speed and have the same idea at the same time both of them trying for a clothesline and thus both fighters end up on the mat as the crowd cheers and tries to rally behind Kara. Both Drago and Kara get to their feet, shaking their heads to clear the cobwebs. Drago launches forward and grabs Kara and hits her with a belly to belly suplex.
Ben Price – Well both tried for the same move there and it almost felt like the ring shook with how hard they hit each other.
Abigail Dresden – Yeah, I’m sure both of them will be feeling that later on tonight.
Eddie Vega – Hey, Abigail. If Kara wins this match, can’t a case be made for making a three way match for the title at the pay per view? I mean she would have a win over the number 1 contender and that combined with her reign as Elite champ.
Abigail Dresden – I don’t make those kinds of decisions. Obviously, I’d be up for that, I mean I fought Eddie Williams and Kronin for the title. That being said, I’d be surprised if ownership changes the main event at Tribal Warfare. They’ve been pushing me v. Drago for too long. But if she wins, I would definitely expect either her or Apathy to be next in line for either me or Drago, whoever emerges as the champ.
Drago gets to his feet and pulls Kara to her feet but Kara cuts his planned move off with a couple of punches to the gut and then a jawbreaker. Kara pulls him to his feet and begins the process of locking in her scorpion sleeper, but Drago counters and tries for a German suplex but Kara blocks it and the two separate for a few moments before Kara boots Drago in the gut and picks him up into a fireman’s carry before making her way to middle of the ring and planting him head first into the mat with her version of the Michinoku driver.
Ben Price – Dresden Driver! It looked like Kara was going for the submission but when Drago blocked that, she went back to her main finisher!
Abigail Dresden – And she did spend time working on his head and neck
Eddie Vega – I think she killed him!
Kara rolls over and makes the cover, Ashley Beaton slides in and the crowd counts with her.
…One!
……Two!
………Three!
DING!! DING!!
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner, by pinfall, Kara Reinhardt!!!
Ben Price – Well that match has made things a lot more interesting in the CWF as we near Tribal Warfare and going forward into Season 5. Thanks for dropping by to do commentary, champ.
Abigail Dresden – Pleasure. It was fun to see the match up close and get some confirmation that Drago just can’t seem to.. Umm perform when the pressure is on.
Eddie Vega – Hey! That was one of those double ent.. Double un.. Double..
Abigail Dresden – Was it? I don’t see how it could be, I mean, I’ve only had experience with him.. Performing in the ring. Surely any other ‘performance issues’ he might have would be the purview of someone else, maybe you should ask his buddy Kriegson. They seem to have an interesting, ancient Greek ‘mentorship’ thing going on. Or maybe Vespertine. Maybe they’re getting it on. Maybe Karlie can say. Well, maybe not her. I don’t think Drago is her type.”
Eddie Vega – Wait! Are you implying what I think you’re implying?!
Abigail Dresden – Heh. Maybe. I mean there has to be some reason why their stable name changes almost every show.
Ben Price – Okay… well very ADULT commentary from the Conquest Champion here. But I’m told that we’re going to go to… somewhere for an update on Zolothach and Steve Murdock!
Abbigail Dresden – Yeah, let’s do that, I have to go get to the ring for my match.
The camera switches over…
Segment – Black Friday Brawl, Part 2 – (Murdock -vs- Zolothach)
Outside of the arena, the bus pulls up to the stop. Before the door can be opened, Tabitha Osborne goes flying through it, bouncing once on the ground and coming to a halt. Her cart goes next, flying through the air and landing next to her on its side and spilling its contents. Steve Murdock steps out of the bus with his bags from the Emporium. He sets his bags down as the bus speeds away, turning itself to “Out of Service”. He pulls out a garbage can and walks over to Tabitha, who is starting to sit up. She’s bleeding from several wounds and new cuts while Steve has his own war wounds that he’s bleeding from across his body. He puts the can over Tabitha’s head and shoulders, pinning her arms to her side. He then kicks the can in, denting it and knocking Tabitha over.
Ben Price – Well, they have at least arrived at the arena. I bet that the inside of that bus is a mess.
Eddie Vega – Right?
Steve aims a few more kicks at the can, denting it in further to keep Tabitha trapped.
Ben Price – Looks like Zolothach has lost.
Eddie Vega – Well? Troy Reynolds hasn’t caught up with them yet. It’s still anyone’s game.
Ben Price – How is Zolothach going to get free from the can to continue the fight?
Eddie Vega – That, I don’t know. I’m just saying that the referee isn’t there yet to score a pinfall. He might have had to summon an Uber.
Tabitha sits up, the can in tight around her arms and head. Steve walks over and picks up the barbed wire baseball bat and walks back to her. He gets ready to swing the bat when Tabitha screams something unintelligible, and the trash can literally explodes! Windows nearby are shattered from trash can shrapnel. Steve looks down to where a piece of metal is embedded in the right side of his chest.
Ben Price – That is going to leave a mark.
Eddie Vega – How did she do that?
Ben Price – I think it’s best to not ask questions.
Eddie Vega – Prolly right there.
Tabitha stands up and runs at Steve with a roar, but he swings the baseball bat, catching her in the side of the head with the blow and sending her right back to the ground. Steve looks down at his fallen opponent and takes a deep breath, but coughs partway through. He brings up blood and falls to his knees and then to his side. Both warriors lay on the sidewalk outside of the arena, bleeding onto the concrete.
Ben Price – I think at this point they should just call the match. It’s just too much!
Eddie Vega – You might be right. Can we get a report on where Troy is?
Slowly but surely, Tabitha starts to sit up. She grabs onto the fallen cart and uses it to get herself into a sitting position. Steve gets up to his knees and looks over at Tabitha while he reaches into a bag and grabs a pair of brass knuckles.
Steve Murdock – This is going to hurt…
Tabitha Osborne – Because everything up until now hasn’t?
She stands up at the same time as he does, extending her hand where a pair of spiked brass knuckles just sort of melts into being around her hand. She smirks through her pain at him.
Tabitha Osborne – Mine’s better.
Steve Murdock – Shit.
Steve takes a swing at Tabitha with the brass knuckles, but she dodges it and sinks her fist into the left side of his midsection under the ribcage. His eyes go wide from the impact as the spikes sink into flesh. She pulls him in close with a savage roar.
Tabitha Osborne – You like that?
Steve gasps in pain, but seizes Tabitha by the shoulders so he can hit home several tremendous headbutts, blood stringing between their faces. Once he releases her, she staggers backward a few steps. Steve follows this up with a brass knuckle shot to the ribcage.
Steve Murdock – See you in the ring, Zolothach.
He picks up his bags and walks into the arena. Tabitha rights her cart, reloads it, and pushes it into the arena. They leave behind an area that looks like a murder took place from the blood loss.
Ben Price – Well, I guess they are going to make it to the ring tonight. Maybe a stop with the medics to get patched up right quick first?
Eddie Vega – That would be for the best.
Ben Price – When we come back, Abigail Dresden who was just here doing guest commentary, and Madd Morales.
Eddie Vega – Can Morales beat the Conquest Champion and insert himself into her match against Samael Drago at Tribal Warfare?
As the camera comes back from commercial break, Abigail has moved from the Commentary desk to the ring and stands next to Eric Wilson as he prepares to speak.
Singles Match – Abigail Dresden -vs- Madd Morales
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is set for one fall! Introducing first, she hails from Swansea, Wales, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain! She stands 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs in at 175lbs. She is the reigning CWF Conquest Champion. The Reigning 4 Winds Albion Champion and one half of the 4 Winds Dyad Champions, She is also a member of the Upstarts, Abigail Dresden!!!!
‘Awen’ by Eluveitie plays over the PA and Abigail holds up her first, bringing the crowd to their feet as Abigail moves to each of the four turnbuckles, climbing them and pointing out at the crowd, bringing them to their feet doing a small backflip off each turnbuckle to the ring. She then makes her way to her corner and waits for her opponent.
Ben Price – Well, for a young fighter and someone still relatively new to wrestling, I thought Abigail had some interesting insight.. And she got the benefit of being able to scout her opponent up close.
Eddie Vega – I have to hand it to the kid, that was something right out of Valora’s playbook, and her being at ringside, might have gotten into Drago’s head a bit.
Ben Price – Great point, he could have been distracted by Abigail’s presence at ringside for sure.
Eric Wilson – And introducing her opponent. He hails from Norfolk, Virginia. Standing 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing in at 190lbs. He is a member of the nKo, the “Airdevil”, Madd Morales!!!
The arena plunges into darkness. A low rumble kicks in under the silence then- “Beggin on her knees to be popular!”
The distorted, otherworldly beat of “EvilJordan” by Playboi Carti slithers through the speakers like venom in a vein. Red strobes flash in erratic pulses as static crackles across the tron. Then, from the back, through a curtain of smoke that glows hellish crimson, he emerges, draped in a black designer trench that sways with each step, hood shadowing his face. He moves like someone who owns the ground beneath him. Its slow, cocky, like the devil on his day off. Every bounce in his step carries swagger, but in his silence, there’s something simmering. Something cruel. Something just waiting for someone to pull the pin. As the beat hits harder. He lifts his head.
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 slow 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
Ben Price – And here comes her opponent, Madd Morales. Now, much as I hate to correct Abigail, she was somewhat mistaken on her views of him being an expert at failure. He has been winning more than losing lately.
Eddie Vega – Which is why she didn’t comment on his win-loss record. She pointed out his big ticket failures. This is a man who thinks he should be leading the nKo. He lost the Elite Title. Failed to get it back or another title to replace it. I like the kid, but I actually admire Abigail viewing this match as a tune up for the pay per view.
Scott Jones goes over the instructions with the fighters as Eric Wilson leaves the ring and moves back to his spot. Once he’s ready, he calls for the bell
DING!! DING!!
Ben Price – And here we go! Abigail Dresden v. Madd Morales. Morales, with a win here, could make a strong case to take over the nKo and could make Abigail’s dance card more crowded by claiming a win over the champ!
Eddie Vega – Well, I will say this. There had been criticism and a desire to open the Conquest championship to new blood. Abigail Dresden did that via the Valor title rule. Drago has entered the picture via winning the Lunar Rumble. Dixie Clement has a pinfall on the champ. Apathy is closing in on the Valor title rule.. We are getting some new blood in the title picture of the top title, folks!
In the ring, Abby and Madd walk over to each other, standing toe to toe as they trade words. Madd Morales finally loses his cool and tries for a punch but Abigail shows off her agility by fluidly moving to dodge the blow, and locks Madd in a side headlock, hammering him with punches to the head. Madd tries to break the hold by lifting Abby, but she blocks and cinches in the hold on his neck before running forward and planting him with a running bulldog.
Ben Price – And Abigail continues to show her preference and mastery of the more British style of wrestling.
Eddie Vega – Well that might be true but she’s got her own style too
Abigail moves over and kicks Morales, before trying to pull him to his feet which he counters with a jawbreaker and then headbutts her head and swings a punch which Abigail dodges, weaving around. Abby counters with a kick to the gut and a European uppercut to the head
Ben Price – Well that didn’t take long, Madd Morales clearly targeting Abby’s head
Eddie Vega – Well, it’s the smart thing to do. You find a weak point, attack.
Madd Morales recovers from the uppercut and grabs Abby, sending her into the ropes, Abby hops onto the top rope and springboards off into a moonsault and hits Madd Morales, both fighters hitting the mat as the crowd cheers the move
Ben Price – And there is the influence of her mother as Abby shows she can fly when she needs to
Madd Morales and Abby get to their feet at about the same time. Madd Morales hits Abby in the head with a right hand then another and a third. He boots her in the gut and plants her with a DDT before running to the ropes and hitting Abby with a springboard moonsault of his own
Ben Price – Well unless I’m wrong, it seems like Madd Morales is trying to get into a contest. Abby hits a springboard moonsault, Morales answers with one.
Eddie Vega – Well why not win a fight and prove you can do what your opponent can do better than they can at the same time?
Madd Morales rebounds off the ropes, Abby had started to get up but drops back to the mat as Madd Morales runs, hopping over her and rebounds off the ropes on the other end, Abby jumping up and running after him and as he rebounds off the ropes, he turns in time to see Abby hit her trouble in paradise style kick that knocks Madd Morales over the ropes and to the floor. Abby then jumps up to the top rope and springboards off hitting Madd Morales with a shooting star press like move, rolling off as Scott Jones begins counting
…1!
…2!
Both Abby and Madd grab the barricades and begin to slowly pull themselves to their feet.
…3!
…4!
Both slowly get to their feet. Someone from the crowd takes a swing at Abby, Abby dodges at the last second and the punch hits her in the head, knocking her into a seated position. Madd Morales distracts Scott Jones causing him to miss the illegal attack.
Ben Price – Wait a minute, fans! It looks like Abigail was attacked by someone in the stands.
Eddie Vega – But was it a fan or.. Peak of Freak! Abigail is under attack by.. Wait a minute!!
Fiona O’Connell and Miguel Lanza Jr come running down the rampway. Miguel levels Peak of Freak with a clothesline and Fiona slides into the ring and intercepts Madd, pushing him as he lands on the ropes to springboard into an attack on Abigail sending him tumbling out of the ring.
Ben Price – Chaos is breaking out! We have reports Pacific Rim is fighting backstage with Tuck and Trelisa!
Eddie Vega – Peak of Freak is currently not cleared for any in ring action. He needs to be careful here. He could get injured even more.
Tetsuo Oni IV runs out from the back and resumes attacking Madd Morales as Fiona moves over to protect Abby.
Eddie Vega – Scott Jones has to-
DING!! DING!!
Scott Jones waves Eric Wilson over and explains things to him as the ringside brawl slows down, waiting to see what’s happened.
Eric Wilson – Ladies and Gentlemen, the referee has declared this match a no-contest due to outside interference
Ben Price – My God! Eddie, you called this a tune up match, but now Abby has been pinned in a tag team match and forced to accept a draw due to outside interference. This has to be giving her a case of nerves going into the match.
Eddie Vega – She does seem to have momentum building against her, that’s for sure
As the camera fades out to cut to commercial, CWF security can be seen heading to the ring to break up the fight.
The camera comes back from the commercial, and it’s backstage. Ben Price fills us in on what is going on.
Ben Price – Welcome back. I’m told we’re going to be getting a quick update on something backstage.
Eddie Vega – Zolothach and Steve Murdock?
Ben Price – Actually, not them. Although they are on their way into the arena.
Segment – eNVy
Vespertine walks up to the dressing room door at the same time that Karlie does. She sticks out her hand for Karlie to shake it. They do so.
Vespertine – That’s for beating Dresden and Tets last week. Celebrations are in order.
Karlie Nash – Can say the same for you, tapping out Gabe Tuck, and yes, celebrations are definitely in order.
Vespertine – Which I guess just goes to show that the nKo is not a stable to worry about. Not like the Upstarts, but you took care of that problem last week.
Karlie Nash – Yeah, we need to show that Eternal Grove is the stable now in CWF, strength in numbers, and tonight, you are correct, the tag team titles are ours tonight.
Suddenly, Alyssa Lucchi walks around the corner, sees them, and runs over to them. We figure it’s to try and get an interview. We’ve not seen much of Alyssa recently after the Bastards left the company.
Vespertine – And if we were speaking of the devil, well speak of the devil…. Here she is. What do you want, Alyssa?
Alyssa Lucchi – Tonight is a big night for Eternal Grove. Drago took on Kara, in a loosing endeavor. and you two are gunning for the tag team titles.
Vespertine – Yes. Yes it is.
Alyssa Lucchi – Soooo…. Do you two have a plan going into this match?
Karlie Nash – Our plan to win the tag team titles.
Alyssa Lucchi – Yes, that would be a great plan. But these are the tag team champions. I mean do you have a game plan going into this?
Karlie Nash – You must be new at this Alyssa, we’re not going to reveal our game plan, why would we give our game plan away to our opponents, that wouldn’t be very smart of us would it.
Alyssa Lucchi – Uh…. surely you have something to give your fans out there what you have planned.
Karlie Nash – Again we do not.
Alyssa looks at Vespertine, who just shrugs.
Vespertine – What can I say, she’s a woman of few words.
They dap hands and Vespertine takes the mic from Alyssa and tells her to go to the corner by nodding in that direction. Alyssa does so.
Vespertine – Now that we have the mic. We are here to NOT give a game plan but to put the roster on alert. Eternal Grove, eNVy, Annwn is here and we are taking over. Drago had a tough go against Kara but that won’t stop him or us from taking the titles. All…. the…. Titles. We are here and when we get the tag team titles tonight, everyone is on notice that eNVy arrived last year with this sole purpose. To get the tag team titles. But Eternal Grove has formed, has come, has seen and will conquer anybody who is in our way.
Alyssa Lucchi (from the corner) – But what about Trelisa and Tuck. Double T is intent on keeping those belts for nKo.
Vespertine – Double T? (looks at Karlie) I think I have a new nickname for Tuck’s team.
Karlie Nash – Double Terrible, yeah that’s a good nickname for them.
Vespertine – Double Tits? I mean his are as big as hers, right?
Karlie Nash – I never noticed so I’ll have to take your word on that I guess.
Vespertine – We could be here all night coming up with team names for them. The POINT is we are coming in very confident that we are going to be the next, the new, the greatest tag team champions this federation has ever seen. Only because we will be the longest reigning tag team champions this federation has ever seen. And the best. The team everyone should be looking up to lead the tag team division. At least that’s my direction. What my dark buddha tells me. What does your God with your newfound powers tell you?
Karlie Nash – To finish what is required of the tag team champions, they honestly don’t seem to care about the means, which to me is just fine, NKO can’t match Ves’s high flying speed chaos, neither of them can out fight or wrestle me, that is what they have told me.
Vespertine – (to Alyssa) Gods. Dark Buddhas. What can you do, eh? (back to the camera) It doesn’t matter what they care about though. All you need to know, Alyssa, is that we are going to walk in this week the winners from last week and walk out the same way. With our hands raised in victory holding the tag team titles.
Karlie Nash – Exactly.
Vespertine – (valley girl style) We are so over! O…M…G…. Come on girl, we gots to get out there for the match. We’re up next.
They dap hands and as they go through their dressing room door, Vespertine puts the hand up to Alyssa as if to say “whatever”. Cut shot.
Ben Price – eNVy are confident tonight. But Drago has had some setbacks recently, and we’re told Kreigson isn’t here tonight.
Eddie Vega – Well, they still have a chance, right?
Ben Price – That they do. And well, let’s go to Eric Wilson in the ring… for our next match up. Tag Team Action, here on Warzone.
Tag Team Match – CWF Tag Team Championships – eNVy -vs- nKo (Gabriel Tuck & Trelisa Perrault, Champions)
Eric Wilson – The following match up is a tag team match up, scheduled for one fall. It will be for the CWF Tag Team Championships!
Ben Price – First defense for the nKo! The team no one expected to win the tag team titles back at Lunar Warfare.
Eddie Vega – And it’s against eNVy. A long shot by a lot of people’s books, but you know what, so were the nKo. And I’ll say this, I love betting on long shots.
Eric Wilson – Introducing first, the challengers.
The opening bridge of “Knuckle Up” by Snowgoons starts up and after a minute or so, that fades to “Beast Mode On” by Orkestral Studio indicating the two entrance themes of both women. The arena lights go down and a single spotlight comes up and then hear the opening notes of “We Will Rock You”- by In This Moment.
On the Tron comes up images of Karlie and Vespertine wrestling and Karlie brawling with various opponents and Vespertine flying off various things to take out various opponents. Interspersed are images of Karlie playing hockey and checking opponents and Vespertine driving her cars and doing side shows and street racing.
From below the ring, the trapdoor with an entire pulpit comes up with Karlie standing behind arms outstretched as if basking in the light of God. On either side of her stand Hilda Myer and Tracy Dixon. The pulpit in front of her is uniquely dark and on it are two candles with Vespertine standing head bowed and in buddhist prayer. She looks up and we see her eyes are deep dark black. She steps off the trapdoor and waits at the top of the entrance ramp. Karlie goes into darkness as she goes around the pulpit and reappears right next to Vespertine. Karlie has arms outstretched as if asking her God for help. Vespertine holds out on fist towards the audience as if to encompass their souls. They start off and walk in time to the music. Karlie gets to the ring, goes up the steps and goes through the ropes. Vespertine goes up the opposite steps, goes to the middle of the ropes, and flips over them dropping into a Melina type splits. The lights are still low as both women get to the center of the ring.
“We will, we will rock you.
WE will, we will rock you.
We will, we will rock you”
Then when it goes into the ending bridge of the song, they suddenly pose, Karlie stands at 5 feet 11 inches and Vespertine poses low in front of her at 5 feet 5 inches but both have arms out and up. The lights come back up and Vespertine bows her head to take off her hood whereup when she comes back up, her eyes have returned to normal. She goes to stand in the far corner with Karlie to discuss team tactics with Hilda and Tracy listening in.
Eric Wilson – Hailing respectively from the Gates of Eternity, formerly San Francisco and the Minnesota Fundamentalist Church of Grand Marais Minnesota coming in at five feet 5 inches and 5 feet 11 inches at a total combined weight of 272 lbs, they are THE Premier Athlete Karlie Nash and the Well Rounded Fighting Machine, Vespertine. They are eNVyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
Ben Price – And the challengers look ready. Although with the tag team win last week of Karlie Nash and Dixie Clement against the Wild Hunt, there were some speculating that it should be maybe Nash and Clement in this match, as they seemed to work a bit better as a team.
Eddie Vega – But it was Karlie Nash and Vespertine as eNVy who won the title shot, taking the Diamond Kings out of contention. So it’s eNVy who are challenging tonight, and also… who I put a cool $1000 on, with a 10 fold return if they win.
Ben Price – Damn, that’s a good payout. You got your sports book on an app?
Eddie Vega – See, see. Even you’re tempted to put some money down to see if you could get a bit of an extra payday.
Eric Wilson – And their opponents, the defending CWF Tag Team Champions… Representing the New Kharnival Order of the nKo…
“Iron Wolf” by Beast Wars starts to play, and Gabriel Tuck saunters out onto the top of the stage, his half of the CWF Tag Team Championship belts around his waist. He waits there for a moment, staring down at the ring… He points at the ring, and mouths something at the waiting tag team.
Ben Price – Last Warzone, Vespertine not only beat Gabriel Tuck, but she refused to let him go in a submission hold and the hold had to be broken up by others.
Eddie Vega – A bit of a nasty attitude, something needed for eNVy to win here tonight. And it’s obvious she’s already in Tuck’s head.
Eric Wilson – Introducing first, hailing “Form the Road” and coming in at 6’ 2” and 245 lbs… he is “The Iron Wolf” Gabriel Tuck!
The music suddenly stops.. And then something else starts…
“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. This time she’s also wearing her half of the CWF Tag Team Titles draped over her shoulder.
Both Perrault and Tuck hold until…
Eric Wilson – And his tag team partner, from Paris, France. She comes in at 6’ and 160 lbs… “The Excellent” Trelisa Perrault!
“Turn it up.”
And fireworks go off from the stage…. Then the pair start to walk down the ramp, the spotlight following them both.
Perrault 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.
Tuck walks next to her, like a big protective bodyguard.
“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.
Tuck holds the ropes open for her, while Perrault plays up for the fans.
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. If she’s the second to enter the ring she’ll blow a second kiss, this one aimed at her opponents.
Tuck collects the two belts and hands them to the referee, Ashley Beaton.
Eric Wilson – Your referee for this title match up, Ashley Beaton…
Beaton holds up the two title belts and then hands them off to a ringside attendant. She then calls each team’s first person to give them the run down. Nash and Tuck both step to the center of the ring, with Perrault and Vespertine taking their respective corners.
Beaton gives her usual quick rundown of the rules and then signals for the bell.
DING! DING!
Ben Price – And here we go, first title defense for the nKo!
Tuck attacks first, a huge punch that catches Nash in the face. He keeps it up, pushing her back to the ropes. He pulls her off, but instead of whipping her to the other side, he pulls her into a knee to the midsection and then a snapping DDT.
Eddie Vega – And Gabriel Tuck is getting things going fast and early.
Tuck doesn’t try for a pin, and the two of them quickly get up. Nash hooks Tuck’s arm over her neck and tries to take him over with an Olympic slam, but Tuck gets out of it on the lift. He pulls Nash back into an inverted DDT, and slams her down to the mat. This time he does a quick shift and hook of the leg to try for a pin.
… One
…. TW.. No, Nash gets her shoulder up.
Ben Price – So far it’s been Gabriel Tuck with just able all of the starting offence.
Tuck helps Nash to her feet out of the pin, and then kicks her to the midsection. He lifts her up for a suplex, but instead of dropping back, manages to drop her down head first into a brainbuster. He holds onto it, rolls, and tries to lift her up again…
This time Nash blocks it, hooks his leg and takes him over into what should be a fisherman’s suplex, but Tuck manages to keep her from getting a bridge for a pin. As Tuck rolls to come up to his knees, he’s caught with a running knee to the chin by Vespertine as she comes in quickly.
Eddie Vega – And Verspertine is not afraid to get involved here. She’s got a 5 count, so make it count.
Ben Price – eNVy is the team here that has worked the most together, they’ve been teammates for years really. You know they’ll have a plan and they already work together well.
Nash and Vespertine both move quickly to pull Tuck up to his feet as Beaton starts a 5 count.
5…
Nash and Vespertine start with a series of punches pushing Tuck back to the ropes. They then whip him to the other side.
4…
Vespertine breaks for the ropes perpendicular to Tuck’s run. Karlie Nash catches Tuck as he comes off with a drop toe hold.
3…
Vespertine jumps to the second turnbuckle and comes off with a slingshot moonsault across Tuck’s back. As she gets up, she slams an elbow to the back of his head.
4…
Vespertine rolls for the outside.
… She gets out right as Beaton is ready to do the 5th count… but not after.
Ben Price – Pushing the limits there.
Eddie Vega – But the damage was still done.
Nash actually goes back to the ropes, and comes off with a knee drop to the back of Tuck’s neck as he’s starting to get up. She then reaches down and grabs his head to pull him up.
As he comes to his feet, Tuck reaches out and rakes Nash’s eyes. He then grabs her around the waist, and takes her up and over in a belly to belly suplex. He gets up and tries to head for the corner, but Nash just about leaps at him and trips him before he can make the tag.
Ben Price – And Karlie Nash keeps Gabriel Tuck isolated!
Trelisa Perrault slips into the ring and drops into a basement drop kick that hits Nash in the face. As she gets up, Vespertine comes running in with a shotgun drop kick that sends her back to her corner. Beaton steps in with warnings for people to get out of the ring.
Eddie Vega – And things have fallen apart already.
Gabriel Tuck grabs Vespertine as they’re both getting up. He takes her over with a German suplex, and tries for a bridge into a pin, but Beaton warns him that Vespertine is not the legal opponent. He lets her go, and Nash grabs Vespertine’s arm, and whips her into the corner where Perrault is starting to come out. Vespertine hits back first to Perrault, then slips between the top and second rope.
Nash grabs Tuck and whips him hard to the corner to slam against Perrault again.
Ben Price – And eNVy are on fire!
Nash rushes into the corner, but Tuck catches her with a big boot for the block. Vespertine climbs up onto the corner behind him, and comes off with an attempt at a somersault stunner, but Perrault grabs his shoulders, preventing her from taking him over. Tuck holds on and lifts the smaller woman in a waist lock to talk her out of the corner. Then he drops her to her feet, hooks Vespertine for a Saito Suplex and then lifts her up high.
Eddie Vega – And that fire is put out really quick. Just one move can turn the tide quickly.
Perrault runs up and leaps to grab Vespertine into a Backstabber off the high angled Saito Suplex. Tuck and Perrault fall with Vespertine to add to the impact.
Ben Price – Holy crap, I think they might have broken Vespertine on that. You’re right, one mistake and it can be done and overwith.
Perrault rolls for the corner and works her way to her feet while Beaton is again giving warnings. Tuck gets to his feet and looks to his corner. Perrault extends her hand out over the ropes, egging him on for the tag.
Nash moves to try to stop him, but Tuck drives and barely manages to touch fingertips with Perrault. Beaton signals that the tag was successful.
Ben Price – And a legal tag for the nKo can switch things out.
Perrault comes in at a run to where Nash had fallen trying to block Tuck’s tag. She stomps on Nash’s hand, and then kicks her in the face. Vespertine rolls under the ropes, which Beaton acknowledges Vespertine is finally out of the ring. Perrault grabs Nash and stands her up, but Nash turns it into an arm wringer and then whips her to the ropes.
Perrault comes off and tries for a running cross body, but Karlie Nash catches her in the move.
Eddie Vega – And that’s a show of power there.
Karlie Nash takes a few steps so that she’s facing where Tuck is in the corner. She lifts Perrault and falls back with a fallaway slam that lands right in front of Vespertine. Vespertine uses the second rope, and pops up and then slides under the bottom rope with basically a basement drop kick, retreating under the ropes quickly.
Ben Price – I have to say it, eNVy is definitely a team today. You think they’re both working with Dixie Clement? Maybe went to her school down in Texas for a little work?
Eddie Vega- Not sure. But remember, they’ve also formed with a new stable, and they’re not just hanging with themselves anymore. Not isolated.
Nash, again watching Gabriel Tuck, lifts up Perrault. She whips her to the ropes, and catches her with a huge knee trembler that takes her up and over.
Nash then walks over and tags in Vespertine.
Ben Price – And Vespertine is now legal.
Nash doesn’t leave the ring right away. She grabs Perrault, as she’s coming to her feet, and whips her to the ropes again. She catches her in a front waist lock and lifts her up, turns and Vespertine slingshots to the top rope, then comes off with a somersault neckbreaker. Vespertine kips up to her feet after the move.
Ben Price – But still great teamwork by eNVy here.
Nash keeps ahold of Perrault’s legs, and when Vespertine is clear, she takes her back with a catapult that launches her chest first to the corner. Nash moves out of the way as Vespertine catches Perrault with a double flying knee into the corner.
She then spins Perrault around and hooks her for a suplex. She lifts and Nash, now on the apron, helps her put the bigger girl’s feet onto the top rope. Vespertine then twists around and turns a suplex setup into a cutter.
She rolls Perrault over and goes for a pin.
… One
…… Two
…… The… Perrualt is so close to the ropes still, it’s easy for her to get a foot on them.
Ben Price – That was close.
Eddie Vega – Really close… to the corner.
Tuck comes running into the ring, but Nash climbs through the ropes and body checks him out of the way. Vespertine gets up and both start to work him over. Nash and Vespertine both break out the Muay Thai with kicks and punches, until they have Tuck against the ropes. Both move to lock Tuck into the ropes!
Ben Price – Gabriel Tuck is locked up in the ropes!
Eddie Vega – That’s not good, that is not good.
Ashley Beaton warns everyone at first, but then she starts to try to get Tuck out of the ropes. Nash and Vespertine both converge on Perrault, and start to put the boots to her: Kicks, stomps and knee strikes. Perrault tries to slip out of the ring, but Nash grabs her by the waist band on her tights and pulls her back in. Nash signals to Vespertine who nods and then sets up in the corner.
Beaton is still trying to get Tuck out of the ropes.
Ben Price – What are they doing?
Nash pulls Perrault to her feet, and then kicks her into the midsection. She pulls Perrault’s head between her thighs and double underhooks her.
Eddie Vega – she’s setting up for the upper body injury here!
Nash pulls up with a Tiger Driver, double underhook piledriver. But she yells out first. Vespertine then starts up the turnbuckles with a series of hops to come off with a moonsault. She uses the moonsault to be her part of the move, spiking the piledriver!
Ben Price – That was… dangerous. They could have broken Trelisa Perrault’s neck there.
Nash gets up to climb out out of the ring, letting Vespertine go for the pinfall. But Beaton is still working with Tuck.
The crowd counts.
… One …. Two…
Tuck comes free from the ropes and he immediately runs over and drops a double axe handle across Vespertine’s back.
Ashley Beaton, seeing him as the only illegal one in the ring, gets involved, and tries to force him out of the ring.
Ben Price – But…why? You let that spiked piledriver happen?
Eddie Vega – She was trying to get Gabriel Tuck free. She’s only got one set of eyes, man.
Beaton forces Tuck to his corner. And he climbs through.
Vespertine pulls Perrault up to her feet, and she holds her hair while she backs up to her corner again. She nails her with a couple of knee strikes till Vespertine herself is in the corner. Beaton sees all of this, and starts to count for holding hair.
1….
2….
3….
4….
Vespertine lets go of Perrault’s hair by basically slamming her head into the top turnbuckled. Vespertine then turns to Nash and tells her…
Vespertine – Time to finish it!
Vespertine then tags in Karlie Nash.
Nash climbs in and gets behind Perrault. Vespertine slingshots up to the top turnbuckle.
Beaton starts another count.
1…
Nash gets into position.
2…
Vespertine comes up to her feet on the turnbuckle.
3…
Nash stands up with Perrault on her shoulders. And turns to face Vespertine.
4…
Vespertine comes off the ropes with a huge flying Lariat that just about takes Perrault’s head off, but drops her down to the mat with a huge impact.
Tuck starts to come into the ring, resetting the count!
Ben Price – Again it breaks down!
Vespertine rolls with her landing and she launches herself at Gabriel Tuck, catching one leg. He trips, just before he can reach where Karlie Nash goes for the pin. Beaton decides to count the pin instead of the extra people in the ring.
… One
…… Two
……… THREE!!!!!
Tuck manages to almost get to the pin to break it up
Ben Price – Wait? Did they just…
Eddie Vega – Yes, yes they did! Oh, that’s a big payday for me!
Eric Wilson – Your winners, and NEW CWF Tag Team Champions… Vespertine and Karlie Nash… eNVy!
Eddie Vega – eNVy wins, and Annwyn, their stablemates, are still holding a shot at the titles. Doesn’t matter who could get a shot at them, the Eternal Grove can control the tag team division for some time here!
As Ashley Beaton hands eNVy the Tag Team titles, Tuck is checking on Trelisa Perrault.
Suddenly Darkspade runs out from the back, slips into the rope and then starts to berate Tuck and Perrault.
Ben Price – Wait, Darkspade is out here?
Eddie Vega – Hey, I’ve heard that Von Krauss was looking at Darkspade for the nKo and he’s tearing into Tuck and Perrault for losing the tag team titles.
Ben Price – We don’t have much to go by here, but the face of the CWF changes tonight as eNVy are the new Tag Team Champions!
Eddie Vega – And I’m being told we need to clear the ring!
Ben Price – But, eNVy’s celebration, they just won the tag team titles!
Ashley Beaton starts to signal to the others that they need to clear the ring… Dark Spade and Gabriel Tuck both help Trelisa Perrault get out of the ring, as she’s holding her neck.
Vespertine and Nash argue a bit, but then they leave the ring at Beaton’s encouraging.
Ben Price – Yes, I’m told that we have had something come up. While we on the schedule should be going to the Elite Championship match up now… we still have another match underway!
Eddie Vega – And they’re finally here!
Singles Match – Black Friday Brawl – Ending – Steve Murdock -vs- Zolothach
Troy Reynolds finally makes it to the ring and speaks to Eric Wilson, who gets up and steps into the ring with him.
Ben Price – Are we going to get the actual match at last?
Eddie Vega – Sure looks like it, but I wonder how much they have left in the tank after what they’ve gone through today?
Ben Price – I’m almost certain that Steve could have a punctured lung.
Eddie Vega – And Zolothach prolly has a concussion.
Eric Wilson – The following contest has been scheduled to be a Black Friday Brawl! The winner will be the one who makes the other not pass a ten count, no holds barred. Weapons encouraged! Featuring first the challenger, weighing in at 220 pounds…he is “the Hadcore Icon” Steve Murdock!
The opening notes of “Walk” by Pantera play as Steve Murdock stands at the entry way as the wave of crowd sentiment of either boos or cheers reach a fever pitch. He holds several bags from his shopping spree at his namesake store earlier and is heavily bandaged and cleaned up from his earlier struggles. He is also now in ring gear as he slowly makes his way down to the ring as if everything hurts. He throws the bags into the ring and follows, dumping each bag out into the ring to spread weapons all over the place.
Ben Price – What more could he do to Zolothach?
Eddie Vega – Apparently a lot. If only Troy had caught up with them earlier, this match might have been over before it got to the ring.
Ben Price – True that.
Eddie Vega – Still. We get more wrestling action.
Eric Wilson – And his opponent, weighing in at 165 pounds…Zolothach!
“Cthulhu” by Gunship sounds as Tabitha Osborne makes an appearance at the entrance stage. She is also heavily bandaged and seems to be a little unfocused. She takes a moment to look around at cheering fans before seeing the ring. He heads to the back and comes back with a shopping cart full of goodies that she begins to push down to the ring. She throws the entire thing, cart and all, into the ring where Steve dumps it out. Tabitha also sets up a table at the side of the ring before stepping inside.
Ben Price – I’m guessing that we are expecting to send someone through a table too?
Eddie Vega – Would seem to be the going thought.
As the bell sounds to start the match, Zolothach leans in a corner and watches Steve Murdock, who is trying to figure out an avenue by which to attack. Finally, he picks up a lead pipe and advances on her. Tabitha seems to be whispering something and Steve acts like the lead pipe has gained a lot of weight as it nearly pulls him to the mat before he lets go of it and it hits the mat with a thunk. While he’s distracted by this, Tabitha storms out of the corner with a drop kick that sends Steve to the mat too! She drops a knee to the center of his chest and raises the spiked brass knuckles. She licks her split lips in anticipation.
Ben Price – If she hits him in the head with those, this could be all over.
Eddie Vega – I think they call that murder. It would be back to St Dympha’s for her—this time for keeps.
Tabitha hits Steve in the side of the face with the spiked brass knuckles, laughing manically as blood goes splattering across the mat. She slowly stands up and retreats back to her corner where she leans while Troy checks on the bloodied Steve. Troy stands up and begins to make the count.
1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…Steve Murdock gets up! Blood runs down the side of his face to his chest and his bandages on his chest and midsection have started to bleed through, but he is standing. Tabitha just shakes her head with a smile.
Ben Price – Is she happy that Steve got up?
Eddie Vega – You would think that she would be mad that he got up.
Tabitha steps up to Steve to attack him with the spiked brass knuckles again, but Steve takes her down with a side headlock. He holds onto her head with one arm while revealing a cowboy spur that he ruthlessly rakes across her forehead, ripping into the flesh! He drops the weapon and hits a headlock driver. He stands up and walks away from her so that Troy Reynolds can begin his count.
1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…Tabitha gets up! Her face is a crimson mask as a flap of skin has come away from the bone on her forehead. She grits her teeth and growls before running at Steve Murdock for a spear. However, Steve sidesteps and kicks her soundly in the bottom to send her into the corner where she follows through to slam her shoulder into the ring post!
Ben Price – Jesus! They are going to have to staple her back together after this match.
Eddie Vega – Her and Steve both.
Tabitha gets out of the corner and rushes at Steve again. This time, he ducks under her outstretched arm, and stands at the ready while she goes to the ropes. She holds onto the ropes as Steve was going to go for a big boot. She shakes her head at him and notices that she is next to the table that she set up on the outside of the ring. She walks along the ropes with her hand stretched out over the table. She mouths words that are not picked up and flames seem to pour from her hands as if liquid and onto the table to set it alight.
Ben Price – I don’t know how she’s doing these things, but I think it’s not kosher.
Eddie Vega – Certainly seems wrong.
Tabitha advances on Steve and hits another gut shot with the spiked brass knuckles before whipping him into the corner. She lifts him up to sitting on the top turnbuckle and climbs up there with him. She tries to get him into a suplex position, even going as far as dropping the spiked brass knuckles that melt into nothing before they hit the floor. Steve blocks the attempt three times before reversing the move. He gets her up into a suplex position. Looks around and leaps through the air to hit a superplex through the burning table!
The fire quickly goes out as both wrestlers lie in the wreckage of the table. Troy looks down and begins the count.
1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…Steve Murdock gets up…9…10!
Eric Wilson – Winner of the match…Steve Murdock!
Ben Price – Steve is down!
Eddie Vega – Are you shocked?
Steve Murdock is indeed down on the floor, having made it up just enough to win the match. Daniel Corgan, Ringside Doctor, is quickly at Steve’s side to check on him. He signals to the back for medics. When he checks on Tabitha, he does the same motion. EMTs with stretchers come down to take Tabitha and Steve to the back where ambulances have been summoned for when their match was finished.
Ben Price – Brutal battle between those two.
Eddie Vega – And now they get to lie in bed a bit. I wonder what the damage will be?
As Tabitha and Steve are being pushed to the rig entrance, Eoin O’Rourke comes walking out. He looks over Tabitha as she is pushed to the back and stands in front of Steve Murdock’s stretcher.
Ben Price – This is not the time for a confrontation!
Eddie Vega – It is if he doesn’t want Steve fighting back.
A sudden kick sends Steve Murdock out of the hands of the EMTs and off of the ramp! He falls unable to protect himself on the floor below! He starts punching EMTs who are wanting to go down to get Steve, but can’t. The crowd boo him, but suddenly cheer as Miguel Lanza Jr storms out from the back and lays into Eoin with clubbing blows!
The EMTs begin making their way down to the floor to get Steve Murdock while Miguel lays Eoin out with a power bomb! Security make their way down to break up the fight and help get Steve to the ambulance.
Ben Price – And now, we will be ready for the main event…after this break.
Eddie Vega – Will Gabriel Blight be able to take the Elite title from Greg Salazar? Experts say yes.
The show comes back from commercial and a crew is hard at work in the ringside area. They’ve put some extra tables out, as well as surrounded the ring with a spool of barbed wire, and other assorted things.
Ben Price – What the hell is this?
Eddie Vega – We’re ready for the Elite Title Match, as both of these men are about to go back to boot camp. This is a boot camp rules match up. No holds barred, almost anything goes. This match will only be won by someone giving up… either tapping out or verbally saying they’ve had enough.
Ben Price – We just had the end of the Black Friday brawl, now we’re going into a boot camp match up. But both of our combatants also have a military history. Of course everyone knows that Greg Salazar is a former United States Marine. But Gabriel Blight… is a former member of the French Foreign Legion.
Eddie Vega – Shakes his head. Hey, even I have to get you for something you just said. Now, we know that Greg Salazar, the Elite Champion was not kicked out of the Marines. So he’s not a former Marine. He’s just not active duty.
Ben Price – You have a point there, they say once a Marine Always a Marine. And we heard that Greg Salazar actually went back to Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, California to get ready for this match.
Eddie Vega – Well, the French Foreign Legion… I don’t want to put down the US Marines, but are they really the same?
Ben Price – Well Greg Salazar was a Force Recon so he was in the special forces. But to top it all off, Gabriel Blight was one of the members of the Future Shock Society back in Season 1 of the CWF, and Greg Salazar was the original CWF Tetsuo Oni who started that stable. The two do not see eye to eye on things, and back at Lunar Warfare, Gabriel Tuck was the one who eliminated Greg Salazar during the Lunar Warfare Rumble.
Eddie Vega – Well, eNVy won me a good chunk of change in the tag team titles earlier. Now it’s Blight’s turn to win me even more.
Singles Match – CWF Elite Championship – Boot Camp Match – Gabriel Blight -vs- “The Paragon” Greg Salazar (Champion)
Eric Wilson – The following match up is scheduled for one fall and will be for the CWF Elite Championship. This will be a boot camp match which means… no holds are barred, hard core rules. The fight can end in the ring or the ringside area. Additionally, the match can only be won by one of the combatants giving up either by tapping out or verbally.
Ben Price – Well, just based on his moveset, that has to really favor the Elite Champion. For a long time his finisher was the death pistol arm bar submission. Gabriel Blight doesn’t really rely on submissions.
“Limits” by Bad Omens (the Cryptic Writings’ cover), starts to play throughout the arena. The screen over the stage comes up spelling out three names “Gregory Michael Salazar” and they then move til only the initials “GMS” remain. The CWF Elite Championship suddenly appears and floats on top of the initials.
Eric Wilson – Introducing first… the current reigning CWF Elite Champion. He hails from Seattle, Washington. Coming in at 6’ 1” and 235 lbs… “The Paragon” Gregory Salazar!
Salazar steps out onto the stage wearing his usual combat BDU pants, boots and the combat vest. He walks down to the ring, high fiving and fist bumping some of the fans along the way. When he gets to the ring, he walks up the ring steps, and slips under the ropes.
He immediately removes the combat vest and hands it to a ringside attendant. Next it’s the CWF Elite Championship, which he hands to the referee.
Salazar then heads to one of the corners, where he starts to stretch and get ready.
Eric Wilson – And the challengers, he hails from parts unknown. Coming in at 6’ 1” and 265 lbs… this is “The Unholy Messiah” Gabriel Blight!
The sounds of “Releasing the Demons” fill the arena. Gabriel appears from backstage and paces toward the ring, pointing at the opponent. If he is the first to enter, he will slowly make his way toward the squared circle without much interaction with anyone.
Eddie Vega – And the next Elite Champion coming to the ring.
The referee hadn’t started the match yet, but Salazar appeared to not be wanting to wait tonight. He breaks into a run, exploding out of the corner. He heads right for the side of the ring where Blight is and sails through the top and second rope with a topé suicida that pushes Blight back and dropping him onto a bit of the barbed wire around the ring.
Eddie Vega – HEY! Greg Salazar attacking before the match starts?
Ben Price – Well if Blight had done that, you’d be saying anything goes in this match up. So all’s fair, huh?
Eddie Vega – NO!
The referee holds up the title for a moment, and then signals for the bell.
Salazar quickly gets to his feet, and pulls Blight up to his feet. Blight swings with punch, and connects. He grabs Salazar and whips him to the ring steps, which explode apart into their two pieces with a loud clamour.
Ben Price – Well they’re both going right for it.
Blight steps in, grabbing Salazar by his longer, and very blue hair tonight. He pulls back and throws a punch, and connects. He then pulls Salazar towards him and gets him up onto his shoulders into a fireman’s carry. Salazar immediately starts to elbow Blight into the side of his head.
Eddie Vega – Drop him on the ring steps, Gabriel!
Before Blight can hit the move he’s going for, Salazar slips out of the fireman’s carry to his feet. He hooks Blight into a half nelson, pulls him a couple of steps back, spins it around and then launches him up and over with his Ring Toss suplex, dropping Blight across that blown apart set of ring steps!
Ben Price – Holy shit!
Eddie Vega – You just cussed!
Salazar comes up quickly and pulls Blight to his feet.
Blight grabs Salazar’s head, and delivers a couple of European Uppercuts. Keeping ahold of his head, and hair blight slams his face into the ring apron, and then whips him into the ring under the bottom rope. Blight grabs one of the tables and slips it into the ring after him and then climbs in.
Eddie Vega – Don’t bother with finesse here. Just brute strength and hit him with everything.
Blight takes a moment to lean the table up in the corner. He turns to grab Salazar, and pulls him in for a powerbomb setup. He goes to pull Salazar up, but Salazar blocks the first attempt. Blight pulls up again but gets hit with a scorpion kick to the face.
Ben Price – Scorpion Kick!
Salazar recovers quickly, going around Blight and hooking him with a full nelson. He proceeds to start to headbutt him once… twice….three times… then four… five… six…
The crowd counts along.
Ben Price – Concussion Protocol!
Seven… eight… nine… ten. Blight looks to be out on his feet.
Eddie Vega – What’s he doing now?
Salazar keeps the full nelson locked in, and transitions to the side to execute the leg sweep to finish the Memento Mori, driving Blight’s head through the table.
Ben Price – Memento Mori through a table, face first!
Salazar gets up and shakes his head, he slips out of the ring, and grabs one of the implements left on the outside, a Kendo Stick or Shinai. He slips back into the ring and comes up to deliver a couple of cracks with the kendo stick across his back.
Ben Price – In a normal match, this one would be over. But one of them has to make the other give up.
Eddie Vega – Come on Gabriel, you’ve got to help me make my house payment this week!
Blight makes his way to his feet, while Salazar hits him again and again with the kendo stick. He suddenly catches it between his body and his arm when GMS tries for a shot to his ribs. He twists and disarms Salazar and the shinai falls to the mat.
Eddie Vega – That’s it!
Blight grabs Salazar and kicks him in in the midsection. He grabs Salazar and pulls up for a gutwrench suplex, but Salazar manages to land on his feet. Blight gets to his feet quickly, but he catches a Ka-Bar kick from Salazar slingshotting off the ropes.
Ben Price – So far, for the most part this has been all Greg Salazar.
Eddie Vega – I know, I know. Don’t rub it in.
Blight shoves Salazar away and reaches down to grab the kendo stick. He pulls back and goes to swing it at GMS, but GMS steps in with some sort of arm based block, and then snaps his other elbow up with a strike that literally snaps Blight’s head back.
The bigger man falls back to the ropes, dropping the kendo stick.
Eddie Vega – What the hell was that?
Ben Price – That was Marine Martial Arts.
Blight comes off the ropes, and stumbles as he swings, Salazar uses that to pull Blight up onto his shoulders in an inverted Fireman’s carry.
Ben Price – And this is not where Gabriel Blight wants to be!
Salazar takes a few steps to the middle of the ring and then hoists Blight up and over into the Oni driver!
Eddie Vega – NO!!
Salazar pops up after delivering the move and collects the Kendo stick. He returns to where Blight is on the mat. He locks in the Gun Metal Lock, using the kendo stick across Blight’s throat with the hold.
Ben Price – Gun Metal Lock with the Kendo Stick, and I’m not sure Gabriel Blight can take much more!
Scott Jones, the referee now shows up, to check while the submission is in place. It’s actually pretty quick after he gets there that with his one free hand, Gabriel Blight taps out!
Eddie Vega – NO!
Ben Price – And it would appear that Bad Company are on a bit of a rebound tonight. And they’re getting more dangerous than they’ve ever been.
Scott Jones calls for the bell.
Eric Wilson – The winner of this match, and STILL CWF Elite Champion… “The Paragon” Gregory Salazar!
Salazar lets the hold go, and then pulls Blight up to his feet. He tosses him over the top rope, sending him to the outside. Jones hands him the Elite Title which he tosses over his shoulder and then asks for a microphone from ring side.
Ben Price – Looks like the Elite Champion needs to say something here to close out this show.
Segment – … Answers
Salazar takes the microphone and walks to the middle of the ring.
Greg Salazar – Okay, someone get that pendéjo out of there. I’ve got something to say. But not just for me.. So I’d like to invite my stablemates in Bad Company down to the ring for this. So if I can get Kara and Kronin out here.
“Bad Company” by Five Finger Death Punch starts to play. Kara and Kronin both appear quickly and walk down to the ring.
Ben Price – And here they come out.
Eddie Vega – Yeah, what’s this about?
Greg Salazar – Get them some mic’s too, if you would.
Kara and Kronin both make quick work to get to the ring.
Ben Price – So what is this about?
Salazar starts up again once his teammates are standing there. He’s facing them.
Greg Salazar – You know, for a while now… we’ve had a problem.
Ben Price – What?
Eddie Vega – Wait… he’s about to quit Bad Company, I know it!
Greg Salazar – That problem… was one of the reasons why we formed up in the first place. And no, my issue isn’t with them. No… OUR issue… is with someone else.
He turns around and now all three are facing the stage area.
Greg Salazar – A while back I made a promise to someone. And I’ve not been able to finish and complete that promise. That Promise was if I got the opportunity I would help him get rid of Armand Von Krauss.
Eddie Vega – What?
Greg Salazar – Now, he may have given up that fight. And ran like a skalded dog… saying it was about money or something or other. But well… what matters is. I have a chance now to do something he couldn’t.
Ben Price – Oh, I think I know where this is going.
Kara Reinhardt steps forward.
Kara Reinhardt – I’ve been in talks with someone you all know here… Jeremiah Vastrix. And while he first went to the Upstarts. Well, it seems they’re not really up for fighting on his behalf. And I get it. It’s not their fight. But Greg is right. Von Krauss and the nKo were one of the reasons why we formed in the first place.
Kronin Reinhardt – And we’ve had many battles against the nKo since our and their inception.
Greg Salazar – But above all, there is one other thing. There is my promise to try if I can to take you out, Armand. And now I have that chance. So… let’s just get this ready here. Armand Von Krauss, would you come out here please?
At that Armand’s theme plays through the arena, and he steps out with Esmerelda, and the members of the nKo who are there tonight: Madd Morales, Gabriel Tuck, Trelisa Perrault and Darkspade.
Ben Price – Darkspade is out there with the nKo!
Eddie Vega – And he’s standing right next to Armand Von Krauss.
Greg Salazar – Look upon us Armand… Here is the team that will fight with Jeremiah Vastrix to remove you from the CWF. The team that will do what Rob Riot couldn’t.
Ben Price – We have our team to challenge the nKo for Tribal Warfare, and it’s Bad Company.
Eddie Vega – Okay, I like this.
Armand brings a microphone up.
Armand Von Krauss – Impressive. Don’t get me wrong. This is impressive. Bad Company. Two former Conquest Champions. Former Tag Team Champions. Former Elite champion. Longest reigning champion of all time. And the current Elite Champion who owes Madd Morales a match. But it is also impressive that you would stoop to helping someone like Vastrix. But you do have your dangling promise to Rob Riot, who decided he’d rather leave than face the fact that he had failed and would continue to fail. But there is a problem for you here. You are three. As you can see, here the nKo is four. And if the Peak of Freak is cleared by Tribal Warfare, I’ll have 5 combatants.
Greg Salazar nodded at that.
Greg Salazar – Oh, don’t worry. We can have another one, maybe even two. We’ll be ready.
Armand Von Krauss – If you can.
Greg Salazar – Hey, for all you know… our fourth is going to fly here from England and come out of Retirement….
That got Armand to frown.
Armand Von Krauss – Accepted. Tribal Warfare, the nKo and Bad Company will fight. The winning team’s sponsor will keep my shares of the CWF. The battle will be in two rings, surrounded and covered by a cage. Hardcore and elimination rules.
Kronin Reinhardt – You got it. Just know, your team has an uphill battle. Their combined records against us are under 33% you know.
Kara Reinhardt – Yeah, your entire nKo couldn’t keep the Elite Title on Morales when I went for it. What makes you think that whole bunch of circus clowns can take on all three of us, let alone a fourth or fifth member?
The others in the nKo shout and yell, but they’re not made out over the microphone.
Armand Von Krauss – We will see, at Tribal Warfare.
Ben Price – And we have our Tribal Warfare match up… it’ll be Bad Company versus the nKo. If Bad Company wins, Jeremiah Vastrix will take over Armand Von Krauss’ shares of the company. If the nko wins, Von Krauss will assume control of Vastrix’s shares of his company.
Eddie Vega – That’s a hell of a match but we’re out of time tonight as well!
Ben Price – We are so lets finish it… Tribal Warfare is in three cycles. So remember.
Both – #JoinTheConquest!
