DARK MATCHES:

Harmony Fisher defeats Vanessa Raymond via pinfall

 

Hurse defeats Robert Joseph Kelly via pinfall

 “Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

A shot of Syren holding the SCW Women’s Championship, followed by a shot of CHBK hitting a Bittersweet Ending on one individual, before turning a shot of Jason Zero hitting a spear on Brian Kinney from Rise to Greatness a few years ago, before turning into a shot of Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on James Exeter.

 

“The leading force in sports and entertainment today....”

 

The SCW logo then appears on the screen before evaporating into smoke and the scene fades to black.

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

 

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of David Miller hitting the Backdrop Driver. We see a shot of Katie Steward posing on the rampway before freezing and flying past the screen. This is followed by a shot of Rachel Foxx nailing Wild Bill with the SCW Underground Championship before smiling as the shot freezes and flies at the screen.

 

“You can't erase this deep inside of me
I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

 

We see Marina Trent spewing the Nocturnal Mist into Regan Street’s eyes before the shot freezes and flies at the screen. A shot of Shilo Valiant hitting the E-Factor on Shawn Winters is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of David Helms holding the SCW Adrenaline Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Jason Wilde and Joss Morrison standing together, followed by a shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s Bane on someone is shown, followed by a shot of CHBK standing in a suit in the ring, all freezing in mid-motion and flying at the screen.

 

“I cherish the love and
I cherish the life that's inside of me
And I know I'm not a sight to see
But baby, I'm alive.”

 

Shots of Lucas Knight and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Collin Cole nailing David Helms with the Cole Killer, and followed by a shot of Kelcey Wallace hitting the Perfect Fate on Gigi Steward are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of Tatum McGraw yelling at someone is shown before flying past the screen.

 

“Won't you come and rescue me?
Separate myself from me
Maybe I'm too blind to see
Save my life, rescue me.”

 

Several shots of various SCW competitors, new and old, including Gable Winchester, Shaun Cruze, Thorn & David Helms, Blitzkrieg, Alex Desoubrais Jr., Regan Street, Marina Trent, Harmony Fisher, Blake Mason, The Cashmere Mafia and others all fly past the screen before ending with the SCW Breakdown logo flying into the screen.      

The scene then switches to the inside of the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio where spotlights circle the arena before pyro shoots out from the entrance way on both sides and around the big screen before coming to a stop. The crowd erupts in cheers as the cameras pan the audience, showing the crowd, cheering and waving their signs, hoping to get onto camera. Spotlights circle the arena before we sweep down to ringside to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at ringside.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the heart of Ohio, as we are now just two and a half weeks away from Rise to Greatness X! I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Jonathan Knots and we have a huge main event here tonight.”

 

We then see the Breakdown logo come up on the screen before we see a shot of Marina Trent and then a shot of Syren before a still of both.

 

Knots: “Oh yeah. Two of the greatest women’s wrestlers in SCW, going at it. The US Champion faces off against the World Champion. And with Syren and Shilo Valiant on the collision course heading into Rise to Greatness, this should be fun!”

 

Sharper: “That’s right. Along with that, we’ve got plenty more. We are still stunned by what happened on Supreme Saturday as we found out that the IWC destroyed the SCW World Tag Team Championship. I know that the Cashmere Mafia are here tonight. They’re going to want to say something.”

 

Knots: “Next Level probably will too and we know IWC will be here in some way. Orlando Cruze and Jackson Adams will both be in action!”

 

Sharper: “Regan Street has Adams tonight and Orlando Cruze will be facing off against the Perfect World’s Robert Joseph Kelly. Along with that, I’m sure we will have a full update on Josh Hudson. Regan Street and Brittany Lohan will both be here. So much going on here tonight to say the least.”

 

The Arena is plunged into complete darkness as the sound of footsteps begins to reverberate around the vast building. White spotlights roam around the audience as words begin to fade in on the big screen.

"There's A Fine Line Between Hero And Villain..."

In the arena, the sound of footsteps grows a little louder as the words on the screen are replaced by a video package shot from ground level, showing two shadowy figures walking up a gravel path towards the camera.

"...Most Of The Time"

The footsteps have risen to an almost unbearable level as a the screen changes back to the same video, this time showing only the legs and feet of the two figures as they’re now remarkably close to the camera. The footsteps reach a crescendo as the two figures stop dead in front of the camera.

"But THIS Time... It's Fairly Obvious Which Is Which!"

The shot tilts upwards and pans out to reveal Thomas Valentine and David Helms smirking into the camera. On cue, Helms throws his arms up into the Self High Five as Valentine throws his arms out wide on either side of him.

“THE NEXT LEVEL!”

The video quickly changes to a montage, showing both men hitting various moves, including Valentine’s ‘Grievers Bane’ and Helms’s ‘New Jersey Neckbreaker’ as “The Flood” by Escape The Fate blasts over the arena’s pa system. The song is in full flow as the curtains part, allowing Thomas Valentine and David Helms to walk out onto the stage to a resounding chorus of boo's from the crowd. Both men stride out to the top of the ramp before stopping, revelling in the negative reaction from the crowd, who are going crazy, hating on the two members of The Next Level.

 

Sharper: “And it looks like we’re going to kick things off by hearing from the Next Level and you know what they’re going to be speaking about.”

 

Knots: “They were pissed on Supreme Saturday. I bet their pissed tonight. They fought tooth and nail for those titles and IWC pissed all over it!”

 

Helms, with his SCW Adrenaline Championship belt, and Tommy Valentine walk down to the ring, avoiding their usual fanfare. They walk down the rampway to the ring as the boos continue to come around.

 

Sharper: “Well let’s take you back to the footage we’ve talked about. The footage the IWC sent to us here prior to Supreme Saturday.”

 

Knots: “A travesty!”

 

SUPREME SATURDAY – JULY 6, 2013

We see Hurse, Orlando Cruze and Porno Lad standing on a bridge at night. Jackson Adams is filming them.

 

Cruze: “So what are we going to do Hurse?”

 

Cruze smirks. Hurse then looks down.

 

Hurse: “Well we’ll happily return them…just we’re going to make sure they can’t wander around with the belts. They can call themselves champion and like all of the people who claim they’re Jesus or the next coming of Buddha, they’ll be laughed at, as we have the gold.”

 

PL: “So we’re destroying them? We could just throw them out into the crowd. I’m sure someone would love to have Dawn and Kennedy sweat. They’ll get a nasty rash but-“

 

Hurse: “That’s SO last year.”

 

Cruze: “Toss them off this bridge?”

 

Hurse: “Please…hardly original!”

 

Jackson: “Blow them up in a garbage can?”

 

Hurse: “Now you’re starting like an SCW-er…are you sure you’re an IWCer?”

 

Jackson: “Yes!”

 

PL: “What about running it over with our 4x4 truck?”

 

Hurse: “Ethan…stop watching stuff from the eighties!”

 

PL: “So we’re doing that?”

 

Hurse: “No…see, Porno Lad, as you know, and Cruze knows and Jackson knows…we decided for some delicious irony.”

 

Cruze: “Tastes like cinnamon.”

 

Hurse: “And since they want to punish us but not Rachel…well…”

 

Just then, a sledgehammer is shown held up in front of Hurse. Jackson turns the camera and shows Porno Lad holding it. Porno Lad tells Jackson to pan back.

 

Hurse: “Yes…a sledgehammer. And well….take a look at your lovely belts…”

 

Jackson then pans down to show the belt still intact, but the face plates are shattered, dented, bent and generally unrecognizable.

 

Hurse: “They’ll be in the mail.”

 

PL: “I think I still see a PI…ha!”

 

The Supreme Saturday logo comes back up.

 

We return to the ring to see David Helms and Tommy Valentine walking around the ring, both with a microphone in their hands. The music starts to fade out as the crowd continues to boo.

 

Sharper: “There you see what IWC did, destroying the belts and the symbol of tag team excellence in this business. All because they feel the IWC Titles hold that position.”

 

Knots: “And Hurse is leading this all. If they hadn’t signed him to a damn contract, they’d still be hanging out with homeless bums on the street!”

 

Helms and Tommy look around.

 

Helms: “I don’t think I have to come out here and talk to you all about how I am more than pissed about what happened in the days before Supreme Saturday. I don’t think I need to remind the world just how much we give a damn about the World Tag Team Championships and how much we put our blood, sweat and tears to get those belts. I don’t think I need to remind you all about how much Hurse and Porno Lad should take a long walk off a short pier…But I think I need to flat out say how much we plan to destroy them the moment we can!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Helms: “See, the fact is that Hurse and Porno Lad have done it. They wanted to now start to carve away at the pinnacle of this business. Those titles have been held by the two greatest teams in this business…Next Level and Dark Fantasy…”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Helms: “Sorry, Hurse…sorry Porno Lad…neither of you are ranked on that list. In fact, if I probably went through the list of great tag teams, I’d probably come up quite a bit short.”

 

Tommy: “Didn’t they have a team known as Piddle and Plop?”

 

Helms: “Maybe they’re hoping to lure that GREAT team back. The fact is…Hurse, Porno Lad…hell bring Cruze and Adams too. We’re going to make this simple. We want the two of you at Rise to Greatness for the SCW World Tag Team Championships. And you’re probably going…wait, David….Cashmere Mafia are the champs…And I’d agree with that until they let those jackasses piss on our title and our lineage. They don’t want to respect us, I’m sorry, Keenie…Dawn…but you’ve lost the ability to call yourselves champions in our eyes!”

 

Tommy: “You may think that’s harsh. But I remember a title when I went to that ring and lost those titles for Dark Fantasy…titles they had held for over six hundred damn days!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Tommy: “And you know what I did…I then came back with David here and we got those titles back. We took them everywhere. They were always with us. We came to the ring, they were with us. And Kennedy….Dawn…great, you won the titles off us. We were the first to congratulate you even though it was a bitter pill, but then you come to the ring and you give them the chance to DESTROY what we care about. I don’t even know if you two give a damn about the World Tag Team Championships. Maybe you thought it would look good in a photo shoot. Maybe you figured you could take a few pictures off them with you while you’re naked and become stars, I don’t know, but you, just like IWC, pissed on what we care about. So you know what…we’re done dealing with you. IWC….Next Level, Rise to Greatness, we’re going to give those belts rightful champions and show the world that those titles represent who is best…and IWC can go back and cry to someone who cares!”

 

Helms: “It’s funny…we were always supporters Kennedy….Dawn…but for two people who claim to honour the Street name…both of you seem to be more and more hot air instead of a force in this business!”

 

“Cult of Personality” then suddenly hits and the crowd roars as David Helms and Tommy Valentine turn to the entrance way. Mr. D then walks out from the back and starts to walk down to the ring.

 

Knots: “Oh great. Mr. Douche is on his way to the ring.”

 

Sharper: “I’m shocked by the gall of the Next Level. Leapfrog the rightful champions just so they can get their rematch!”

 

Knots: “Hey! They’ve got a point! They let this happen by their carelessness. Trust me, it’s hard for me to say that because Kennedy and I, we’re like that, but come on…you have to call a spade a spade!”

 

Mr. D walks up the steel steps and walks along the apron before asking for a microphone. Jason Phillips hands him the microphone and he turns back to the ring and enters the ring.

 

Helms: “I’m sorry, but you’re not the one we want here. We want IWC-“

 

Mr. D: “Too bad that I don’t give a damn what you want, or what they think, because quite frankly, unless they bought out the company suddenly, I’m the one calling the shots.”

 

Helms just turns away, biting his tongue as Tommy just looks on, leaning in the corner.

 

Mr. D: “Now first off, I can appreciate the anger the two of you have because of this.”

 

Tommy: “No duh.”

 

Mr. D: “I don’t care for symbols of SCW greatness being destroyed by some jackasses who need to be knocked around.”

 

Helms: “Then fire them, and let’s stop dicking around.”

 

Mr. D smirks.

 

Mr. D: “And that’s why no one does well in my job but me. See, while they are jackasses and headaches, Hurse, Orlando Cruze, Porno Lad, Jackson Adams…all of them have talent. See at one point, the two of you cared about that. In fact, a number of people did. And maybe even competition came through as a motivation too. You remember that? But the fact is…I also remember a time when people settled things in the ring.”

 

Mr. D pauses and turns to Tommy and David.

 

Mr. D: “You two used to champion that. Unfortunately, much like Syren has shown…Dylan Howell and so many others…even the Cashmere Mafia…Regan Street…Greg Cherry…and so forth…they rely on playing games instead of coming to this ring and getting it done. Syren can attack people from behind and I’m sure Shilo Valiant is even more motivated to go after her. And he’s not even in the clear. I was looking at Twitter and it’s funny, because this great Street name that was the reason they were hired, aside from Trinity, they seem to think that only they deserve shots and moreover when something bad happens, to complain instead of coming to this ring and kicking ass.”

 

The crowd buzzes and some boo.

 

Mr. D: “At least you’re doing that. I don’t know where Cashmere Mafia stands. I’m pissed off about the fact that they were that careless too. But I’m not going to deny them their rightful place as champion when they sure as hell showed the talent and ability and skill to WIN those titles from you two!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Tommy: “Give me a b-“

 

Mr. D: “Let me finish…”

 

Tommy pauses and David Helms just takes a deep breath, almost like he’s holding back.

 

Mr. D: “But I’m not against giving you a chance at redemption here too. See tonight, I know Hurse and Porno Lad will be here. I expect them to hand me those titles. The Cashmere Mafia they will be here tonight. And before this night is out, I will make clear exactly what is going to happen. Maybe Cashmere Mafia wasn’t ready to be champion. Maybe we’d be better off without IWC sympathizers under contract. Maybe I wouldn’t have to waste my time dealing with pricks like you too. But I’m going to remind people how they should be dealing with things….in the ring…Should a novel concept.”

 

“Cult of Personality” plays and Mr. D turns and steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor. He then turns and starts to walk to the back. Helms and Tommy meet up in the middle of the ring, almost formulating a quick plan. They then watch Mr. D leave.

 

Knots: “Great. He comes out just to shut them down and then what?”

 

Sharper: “Well with Cashmere Mafia and IWC here. You know he’s going to listen to all sides.”

 

Knots: “Why?! And what was with all those cheap shots?”

 

Sharper: “I guess he’s calling people out, riling them up. I don’t know about that, but the SCW World Tag Team Championship situation will be figured out tonight. Along with that, the SCW World Champion Syren faces off against the SCW US Champion Marina Trent. Much more still to come too!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Mr. D walking down the hallway.

 

???: “What the hell?!”

 

Mr. D turns as Regan Street storms up to him.

 

Regan: “You want to snipe at my family now after starting to screw me over.”

 

Mr. D: “I gave you what you wanted…Brittany Lohan at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Regan: “Yeah and then you’re going to piss on my family’s name just because you can’t make the right decisions.”

 

Mr. D smirks.

 

Mr. D: “You may want to stop and think about the next thing you say.”

 

Regan: “Or what? You’re going to strip me of the Women’s Championship. Bar me from the SCW Championship. You seem intent on doing that.”

 

Mr. D: “No…you are. You want to know what’s going to get you what you want…what’s going to get the shots you desire…get it done in the damn ring. You want to keep attacking people from behind…go for it…but then you accomplish nothing.”

 

Regan: “I feel pretty damn good then…”

 

Mr. D: “So does sex the first time, until you blow your load too early…but I guess…you’ve never had that problem?”

 

Mr. D turns and walks off as Regan Street glares at him before turning and storming off.

Gable Winchester vs. A Member of the Academy

 

A deep voice booms around the arena as the crowds are hushed, waiting for what would happen next.

“The Book Of Winchester, Page Three, Chapter Seven, Verse Nine…There was a dark and foreboding federation…nothing but criminals and geriatrics running riot…the place called out for a hero…a saviour that wasn’t of the Christian variety…that could bring a new sense of awesomeness to it’s very core…and rock the place to it’s foundations like never before…they found that man”

There is silence before various words show on the video screen.

DRAGONSLAYING

FOUNDATION LAYING

ALCOHOL SWILLING

LEGEND THRILLING

"Motherf**ker Of The Year" By Motley Crue hits in the arena as a microphone now appears on the video screen as Gable's voice can be heard echoing throughout the arena

"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!"

This immediately sets the crowds off with jeers aimed toward the man that steps out onto the top of the ramp with "The Book Of Winchester" tucked securely under his arm as he walks forward and "Jack" can be seen behind him walking almostreluctantly with his mentor as Gable then stops and smirks at the gathered fans before holding the book aloft as blue fireworks shoot up from both sides of the stage and the crowds give him an unfriendly reception. Shrugging, Gable turns to Jack and gives him the book to carry before strolling down to the ring, barely even acknowledging the fans as he makes his way to the ring with his protege in tow albeit with nowhere near as much enthusiasm as Gable

EVERY TIME I TURN MY HEAD,
I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING THAT'S SAID
I KNOW THEY WISH I'D GO AWAY!

HERE I AAAAAAM AGAIN,
HEY NOW, HEY NOW,
I'M THE MOTHERF**KER OF THE YEAR!

The words on the screen keep on repeating themselves as Gable reaches the ring and slides in, standing on the ropes and holding his hand up in a tight fist as the crowds boo and jeer while Jack looks on from ringside, doing as he has been told. Gable then awaits his opponent to come to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Gable Winchester about to face someone from the Academy. Two weeks ago, Johnny Dollar and Gable Winchester had a bit of a run-in.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, and tonight, Winchester gets to shut him up and then again the night before Rise to Greatness.”

 

Sharper: “That’s right…”

 

“Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore starts to play as we see a shot of Gable Winchester, Ryan Watson, Lexington Stalfos & William Mason come up on the screen before “SCW United States Championship Contendership” is underneath.

 

Sharper: “The night before Rise to Greatness, a special preview, live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, we will see three such matches. Fatal Four Ways where the winners not only get the title shot of the match they win, but if they beat the other winners, on the big show, at Rise to Greatness, they get to choose when they cash it in.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Big opportunity. And Gable…he’s going to be ready. Watson too. Nice Guys Finish Last!”

 

Sharper: “And we’ll reveal the other two matches over the course of the night here for the Adrenaline and Women’s contendership matches.”

 

"Evolution Personified!"

The sound of rockers shout out, followed by:

"You Are, You Are!
I am! I am!"

As "I AM, I AM!" by Dale Oliver plays throughout the arena. As the audience respond to the music, from the curtains walks Lexington Stalfos, dressed in his long, black coat. Johnny Dollar walks out with him and looks down at the ring. Stopping at the flat-ramp, The Humanomaly slowly raises his hands out in pose, two trios of sparkler fireworks shooting out in fountain pattern as the music blares. As the fireworks die down, Stalfos lowers his arms before walking down the rampway before sliding into the ring. Getting to his feet, the Epitome of Evolution moves to a turnbuckle to pose for the audience once more. Dollar meanwhile walks around the ring. He goes over to the announce table.

 

Sharper: “As Johnny Dollar is about to join us, it looks like for the second show in a row, Lexington Stalfos and Gable Winchester will share the squared circle. Of course, on Supreme Saturday, Dylan Howell defeating both of them in a triple threat match.”

 

Knots: “And now Gable can make sure he gets it done tonight.”

 

Dollar: “What was that?”

 

Dollar puts on his headset.

 

Dollar: “Don’t answer that. It’s not worth my time and that’s worth significantly last than my money.”

 

The bell sounds and Gable and Lexington look at each other. They lunge at each other and Gable quickly catches Lexington with a knee and then nails him with a hard right. He kicks him in the ribs and throws him out of the ring. Gable then throws his arms up as the crowd roars and boos. Lexington just gets up and looks up before then slowly walking around the ring. He then hops onto the apron. Gable backs up and smirks before Lexington enters. Gable then runs at him and clubs him in the back. He elbows him in the back and goes to whip Stalfos into the ropes, but Stalfos spins through and hip tosses Gable down. Gable gets up and Stalfos hits an arm drag and Gable gets up only to get hit by a dropkick. Gable rolls over to the ropes, but Stalfos grabs him and pulls him up, but Gable quickly grabs him by the tights and pulls him out of the ring, through the ropes. Lexington gets up again as Gable pulls himself up.

 

Sharper: “Lexington Stalfos sent to the floor again. This could be an experience advantage for Gable. He knows those tricks better than him.”

 

Dollar: “Great. Too bad that he’s become just a one-trick pony. Trios Tournament shot. Great. He’s got it. Does he even have a plan? Can he come up with one? All he’s doing is poking the bear.”

 

Knots: “Yeah…and that’s scary. How dominant has the Academy been?”

 

Dollar: “Ask and you shall receive Jimmy.”

 

Gable turns and Lexington slides in and nails Gable with a shot to the jaw. Gable stumbles back and to the ropes. Lexington jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking him up and over the top rope. Gable rolls over to the barricade. He then starts to get up and Lexington slingshots himself over the top rope. Gable moves out of the way. Lexington lands on the apron and turns to Gable before hitting a flip dive onto the former US Champion. Lexington gets up and Gable stirs. (1) Lexington grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Lexington slides in and Gable gets up only for Stalfos to hit a diving clothesline. He goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Gable kicks out. Both start to get up and Lexington grabs him again and goes for a back suplex. Gable backflips through and Lexington runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Gable goes for a clothesline, but Lexington ducks. He then jumps to the middle rope and hits a moonsault into Gable for another pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Gable kicks out.

 

Knots: “I think the idiot is in the wrong match.”

 

Dollar: “Lexington’s that good. He could be in either. I mean, he’s not confined to one division, just like those lovely stoneheads in Pinnacle.”

 

Sharper: “Mr. D being the one who made those decisions and Lexington Stalfos getting the nod. Any issues with Joseph Englider? I’ve heard of some tension there.”

 

Dollar: “Nothing at all. He understands the business better than all and he’s got the Adrenaline Championship match. He’s going to make good, especially since he can compete to his utmost…highest payout.”

 

Gable gets up and Lexington grabs him and snap suplexes him over. Gable rolls over and reaches for the ropes. Lexington grabs him by the head and whips him into the corner. Gable hits the corner and Lexington runs after him and Gable moves out of the way. Lexington stops himself with his boot. He turns around and Gable jumps up and hits the That Just Happened. The crowd ohs. Lexington flips forward. Gable then turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Lexington kicks out. He rolls over and Gable grabs him and clubs him in the back before kneeing him in the side of the head. He then hooks him up by the head and goes for a vertical suplex before dropping him onto the top rope before turning around into a slingshot suplex. The crowd ohs. Gable then gets up and runs into the ropes and hits a jumping double leg drop.

 

Sharper: “Gable starting to quicken his pace. Hitting the suplex. The leg drop.”

 

Knots: “Stomp him in the face a bunch. Let’s see him do a flip out of that.”

 

Dollar: “I’ll throw some money on that.”

 

Knots: “That’s why they love you down the street in the Red Light District. You sure you didn’t bankroll Joe Francis?”

 

Dollar: “Clever. But I don’t need to pay to see something unlike you.”

 

Gable gets up and turns to the corner. Lexington starts to get up and Gable pulls himself up to the middle turnbuckle. He then dives off and hits a tornado DDT out of the corner. Lexington rolls through onto his back. Gable turns and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Lexington kicks out. Lexington rolls over. He rolls over. Gable gets up and turns to the ropes. Lexington starts to get up and Gable hits a basement dropkick before getting up. He then looks around and yells out “TRIOS TOURNEY SHOT BAYBAY!” The crowd boos before Gable exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. Lexington pulls himself up and Gable then dives off and hits the crossbody, but Stalfos rolls through.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Gable kicks out. Both get up and Lexington quickly ducks a clothesline before grabbing Gable by the head and pulling him back and hitting the Missing Link. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Missing Link. Well done! That’s not looking to be all!”

 

Dollar: “Well how about that…Gable’s in a bit of trouble. Too bad I didn’t ask you to make a wager.”

 

Knots: “Shut up asshole. This match isn’t over.”

 

Dollar: “But it is!”

 

Gable stirs and Jack warns Gable before Lexington grabs him and hoists him up onto his shoulders. He then spins him out with the Chromazone. The crowd roars. Lexington goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Lexington Stalfos gets up and looks out at the crowd. He smirks as the referee raises his arm.

 

Dollar: “And just like that…I wonder how much he still cares about that Trios Shot Baby!”

 

Knots: “Plenty! That doesn’t matter!”

 

Dollar: “Will in just over two weeks when he’s not on the biggest show of the year!”

 

Dollar takes off his headset and walks over to the ring. He hops onto the apron before applauding Lexington Stalfos. Gable rolls over to the floor. He holds his head and neck as Jack starts to lead him away from the ring.

 

Sharper: “Talk about a big momentum boost. Lexington Stalfos is putting it together. Gable Winchester….he needs a big adjustment in a big way!”

The Breakdown logo comes up as “Rescue Me” starts to play. We then see a shot of Syren and then a shot of Marina Trent.

 

Sharper: “Plenty of action to come here tonight. Marina Trent, the US Champion, will face off against Syren, the World Champion. That’s tonight’s main event and Shilo Valiant will most definitely be watching.”

 

Knots: “Huge match there.”

 

Sharper: “That and much more still to come!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up in the Pinnacle locker room to see Regan Street walking in and David Helms turns to her.

 

Helms: “You too. He’s just making friends.”

 

Syren: “That’s why he’s Mr. Douche…the…well….douche.”

 

Syren chimes in from the back as CHBK and Ravyn walk forward. Regan just lets out a deep breath.

 

Helms: “You going to be okay.”

 

Regan: “Thank God I get to help you guys a bit tonight. Jackson Adams…oh…he’s going to find out, what getting it done in the ring means…”

 

CHBK: “I don’t know why you both are getting so bent out of shape.”

 

Regan and Helms turn to him.

 

CHBK: “You’d think I’d be a bit more pissed off. I mean, I just lost my return match and then saw your in-law act like he actually has a reason to be smug.”

 

Regan: “I don’t know why you’re so intent on getting Trinity….or why you’d risk your life.”

 

Ravyn just smirks as CHBK smirks back.

 

CHBK: “When you get older, you look for fun new challenges….and tonight…Simon is going to find out I get what I want…I don’t need O for that…just like you, Regan and you, David…Tommy…need to remember that sometimes…you make it so people can’t think about anything without you…it’s why as late as last year, people were talking about me and the World Title.”

 

Syren: “But you’re like a five time champion.”

 

CHBK: “Yeah…I also haven’t challenged for the title since 2009.”

 

CHBK then turns to Ravyn before the two walk off and Regan and David both turn to each other. Tommy just looks at them and shrugs before we cut back to ringside.

Aaron Joseph vs. Damian Angel

 

Breakdown returns to the ring and we see Aaron Joseph standing in the ring. He can be seen stretching out in the ring.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and Aaron Joseph making his return here on Breakdown. Looking to pick up where he left off years ago.”

 

Knots: “Good luck. He’s facing Damian Angel. He better be ready.”

 

The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of the song...

Behind those eyes lies the truth and grief
Behind those beautiful smiles I've seen tragedy
The flawless skin hides the secrets within
Silent forces that secretly ignite your sins

...During that verse, Damian Angel steps out onto the top of the ramp , inciting boos from the crowd. He looks at the crowd, ...

...In the slight pause between the verse and the chorus, the lights in the arena all turn off, leaving the sight of pitch black. As the chorus strikes up, a red spotlight begins to follow Angel to the ring...

...During the chorus, they begin their approach to the ring...

Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel

...By the end of the chorus, Angel has rolled toward the centre of the ring, pulling himself to one knee. Damian runs his hand over the canvas before pounding his right fist down upon the SCW logo, immediately springing to his feet thereafter ...

Beyond these clouds you can hide all your tears
Beyond this world you'll be safe from their wicked fears
And in their hearts they fear your demands
You know their minds won't accept you, they'll never understand

...As this verse goes on, Damian unfastens the clasps of his rope, letting it drop down to the mat behind him. He glares out over the crowd...

Fly away, fly away
From the torch of blame
They haunt you
The Lucifer's Angels
Never lived, you never died
Your life has been denied
They call you
The Lucifer's Angel

...Angel climbs onto the middle rope and outstretches his arms, bringing them together in an 'X' formation as he looks down towards the pits of hell. He repeats this process on the other three sides of the ring, and after the last one he hops off the turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “Former World Champion in Damian Angel. He is going to be looking at this match as an opportunity to make a big statement.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. Well he got past Simon Lyman, that freeloader. Time to do it again!”

 

The bell sounds. Aaron Joseph looks at Damian Angel and Angel smirks. He then tells him to come at him. Joseph walks along the ropes before spinning towards him. Angel turns and the two lunge and grapple in the middle of the ring. Angel quickly turns into an arm wrench. He pulls on it before jerking on it. Joseph winces. Angel wrenches it again. Joseph rolls forward and nips up before wrenching the arm out and Angel kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a forearm before chopping him. The crowd woos. Angel shoves him into the ropes before firing him across. Aaron bounces off the ropes and Angel elbows him down. He then drops down and goes for the pin.

Joseph kicks out. Both get up and Angel chops him again. More woos. He kicks him in the ribs and whips him into the corner. Angel just watches as he walks after him and looks at Aaron before chopping him again.

 

Sharper: “Angel dominant early here. Just punishing him.”

 

Knots: “No sweat. Just kicking ass. That’s what he does.”

 

The crowd woos and Damian chops him again. He then whips him across. Aaron hits the opposite corner and Damian turns and runs across. Aaron however dives to the apron. Damian stops at the corner and Joseph grabs the top rope and hits a kick to the side of Damian’s head. He stumbles back and Joseph springboards to the top rope and hits a flying clothesline. The crowd roars. Both get up and Joseph hits a dropkick. Damian hits the mat and starts to get up and Aaron runs into the ropes. He bounces off and hits a flying headscissors standing Damian to the floor. Damian gets up in the entrance way and Joseph gets up before springboarding to the top rope and hitting a flip dive onto Damian. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh! What a dive! Right onto Damian!”

 

Knots: “Is he nuts?!”

 

Sharper: “Maybe. But he wants the big win here!”

 

Joseph rolls over, holding his back in a bit of pain. (1) He then starts to get up and leans against the barricade. Damian rolls over and starts to get up. (2) Joseph turns and grabs him and rolls him back into the ring. He then slides in after. He goes for the pin.

Angel kicks out. Angel rolls over and starts to get up. Joseph gets up and then grabs him and starts to go for a German suplex. Angel however blocks it. Joseph tries again, but Angel manages to stumble forward and hold onto the ropes. Aaron Joseph clubs Angel in the back. He clubs him again. He then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Damian then jumps to the middle rope and dives back with a back elbow, knocking Joseph down.

 

Sharper: “Damian caught him! He’s always thinking and he’s got scary agility when he wants to show it.”

 

Knots: “And Joseph got caught. Ran right into his elbow. Right in the mush!”

 

Joseph rolls over and gets up. He turns around and Damian Angel scoops him up and hits a snap sidewalk slam. He then pulls back on the legs.

Joseph kicks out. He rolls over and Angel looks up. He then gets up to his feet. Joseph pulls himself up and Angel turns and runs at him and goes for a running boot. Joseph moves out of the way and Angel hangs himself up on the top rope. Joseph jumps up and nails him with an enziguri kick to the back of the head. Angel stumbles back and Joseph then jumps to the middle rope before turning and wrapping his legs around the head of Angel and suddenly hitting the SFA! The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! What a piledriver!”

 

Knots: “Whoa! That was out of nowhere! You’re kidding me!”

 

Joseph turns and hooks the legs.

The crowd roars as Joseph rolls off of Damian Angel. He then looks at Damian and smiles as he gets up and pumps his fist a bit and the referee raises his arm. He pulls it away before looking at Damian as Damian stirs. Joseph then drops down and rolls to the floor.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it! Out of nowhere! And shocking the former World Champion, Damian Angel!”

 

Knots: “And just two weeks before Rise to Greatness. What a statement! Holy crap!”

 

Joseph starts to walk to the back, clearly pleased with himself before we cut to commercial

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we see Hurse, Porno Lad, Orlando Cruze and Jackson Adams walking down the hallway. Porno Lad has a bag in his hand as they walk over to one room and push open the door. The camera is able to notice Mr. D in the room behind his desk.

 

Hurse: “We’re here….”

 

Mr. D: “I’ve noticed that. Where are the belts?”

 

Hurse: “Oh, the IWC World Tag Team Championship belts…well, right here.”

 

Hurse then reveals it under his shirt.

 

Hurse: “He’s got the other one.”

 

Mr. D: “I mean the SCW Tag Team Championship belts.”

 

Hurse: “Oh those…”

 

Porno Lad then dumps the contents of the bag onto his desk. The destroyed titles flop down and part of one of the plates flies off.

 

PL: “There you go.”

 

Mr. D: “Please?”

 

Hurse: “Only when you recognize these bad boys as the real tag titles…Titles that have prestige attached to them…not crabs.”

 

PL: “We’re crab free.”

 

Hurse: “Jackson checked. It was painstaking.”

 

Jackson just scoffs.

 

Mr. D: “Not going to happen.”

 

Hurse: “A shame…we could give your little big show a match worth watching. Just shows that the Board is clearly at the end of their ropes if they have to rely on you.”

 

Cruze: “Thanks for the contracts by the way.”

 

Cruze, Hurse, Porno Lad and Jackson then turn and leave. They turn down the hallway before we see someone come in after them, much shorter than average, dressed in a suit.

 

???: “Everything alright?”

 

Mr. D: “Perfect…Desmond…can you take these and just drop them off at security? If Cashmere wants them, then fine. Otherwise…”

 

Desmond: “So what are you planning to do in response?”

 

Mr. D: “Right now, wait…I know Next Level wants them…let’s see what Cashmere Mafia does. Then we weigh the options.”

 

Desmond: “Sounds fair.”

 

Mr. D: “You’ll learn Desmond that it’s best to stand back and wait, especially with some of these egos. Rash decisions tend to get bad reactions…too bad for many, everything is a rash decision.”

 

Desmond: “I’ve gathered…it’s almost sad.”

 

Mr. D: “Things weren’t always like this.”

 

Desmond grabs the belts.

 

Desmond: “I’ll take care of this.”

 

Desmond walks off as we head back to ringside.

Ryan Watson vs. Justin Davis

1...

Once the clock hits 1 the arena becomes a dim black as smoke begins to gather at the top of the ramp. A spoitlight shows up as Justin Davis comes walking out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp with his head lowered down as his hood from his black hoodie covers his head. After a few seconds and the song becomes more fierce Justin Davis finally lifts his head and yells out "It's My Time!" as he walks down the ramp. Davis slowly walks down the ramp. We then see the Rise to Greatness logo come up and we see a shot of Justin Davis, Thomas Watson, Joseph Englider and Jackson Adams before seeing “Adrenaline Contendership Match.”

 

Sharper: “The second of the two fatal fourway matches happening on the night before Rise to Greatness. Justin Davis will be in it. It’s a bit interesting the names in it as they are not stereotypical Adrenaline Championship contenders, but this could be a sign of opening it up and allowing the creativity to come out.”

 

Knots: “Well they all can go. That’s for sure. But you have to think what Ryan Watson, the guy Davis is going to face in a few moments is thinking. Adrenaline Title was his bag!”

 

We then cut to see Justin Davis getting ready in the ring. The arena lights cut completely, plunging the room into complete darkness. After a couple of seconds of nothing, the screens light up and "I'm Made Of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of" by A Day To Remember hits the speakers and the screens light up with the opening lines of the song.

"Don't blink,
They won't even miss you at all
And don't think,
That I'll always be gone
You know I've got you like a puppet in the palm of my hand...
DON'T YOU LET ME DOWN!"

As the final line ends and the music kicks in, blue pyro's explode on either side of the stage and a spotlight opens up on the top of the ramp to show Ryan Watson standing with his arms out on each side looking up into the rafters. The crowd roar at Watson's appearance before breaking out into boos, with a few cheers mixed in from people that appreciate him now he's no longer part of The Infamous. The screens light up with a video montage of Watson in the ring, hitting various moves from his arsenal as he begins to confidently walk down to the ring.

Phillips: "Making his way to the ring, hailing from the Steel City of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, he weighed in earlier this evening at two hundred fifteen pounds, he is “The Prodigy”...RYAN WATSON!"

As he reaches the ring, Watson hops straight up onto the apron before turning to face the crowd, his back leant back against the ropes as he throws his arms out wide and his head back once more. The crowd continue to react as he lowers his head and turns, grabbing hold of the top rope and jumping into the ring. Watson walks over to the nearest ring post, jumping up onto the middle turnbuckle and pointing out at the fans, dropping back down and throwing his arms out to the sides once more, now looking out into the crowd rather than the rafters, which gets another mixed reaction. Smirking a little, he walks to the ropes and leans back against them casually as he waits for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “Ryan Watson has been pissing a lot of people off as of late. You have to wonder if he’ll have a little target on his back as we head to Rise to Greatness.”

 

Knots: “Nice guys finish last! It’s that simple!”

 

Sharper: “Well Justin Davis is not a nice guy. In fact, he’s been downright sinister when he’s needed to be.”

 

The bell sounds and Davis and Watson look at each other. They start to walk around the ring before Davis lunges at Watson and Watson sidesteps and pokes him in the eye with his thumb. He then nails him with a forearm before grabbing him and dragging him over to the corner and driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. Davis turns and Watson hits a spin kick to the ribs before hitting another and then jumping to the middle rope and kicking him in the side of the head. Davis stumbles out and walks along the ropes. Watson walks over and grabs Davis and whips him across. Davis bounces off the ropes and Watson jumps up and drills him with a dropkick to the jaw. Watson smirks before going for a cocky cover.

Davis pushes him off. He rolls over and Watson grabs him and slowly lifts him up before dragging him to the corner. Davis elbows him in the ribs. Davis elbows him again and Watson turns and chops him hard.

 

Sharper: “Watson is all over Davis early on here.”

 

Knots: “Well, Watson is just going for it. He’s knowing he’s got the momentum. It’s just smart.”

 

Sharper: “He needs to be careful too. Davis has competed for the World Championship. He’s been at that level.”

 

The crowd woos as Watson whips him into the ropes. Davis bounces off the ropes. Watson goes to back drop him, but Davis spins through. He then shoves Watson forward and into the ropes. He rolls him up.

Watson kicks out. Watson nips up and Davis gets up and Watson nails him with a hard forearm. He then knees him in the ribs. He then hooks him up by the head. He then hoists him up for a vertical suplex, but Davis spins through and then throws Watson back with a snap back suplex. Watson rolls through and gets up and Davis drills him with a clothesline.

 

Sharper: “Hard clothesline and Davis knocking Watson down. Maybe jackasses finish last!”

 

Knots: “Please! He’s just got him down. He’s got to keep him there.”

 

Sharper: “Davis can do just that!”

 

Watson gets back up and Davis nails him with a hard right. He then kicks him in the ribs before gutwrenching Watson up and powerbombing him down. He then stacks him up for the pin.

Watson kicks out and Davis holds onto one leg and locks in a single leg crab. Watson yells out as Davis sits down. Watson reaches out and tries to get to the ropes. Davis keeps the hold on and the referee checks on him. Watson starts to drag him forward. Davis keeps the hold on and Watson keeps struggling before managing to get to the bottom rope. The crowd boos and the referee calls for the break.

Davis then lets go and walks forward.

 

Sharper: “Davis using the five count to his advantage.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and if Watson did that, you’d call him a prick.”

 

Sharper: “I’d call him that anyways. Especially after what he pulled a few weeks ago against Shaun Cruze!”

 

Davis walks around as Watson starts to get up and he rolls over to the ropes and Davis stomps him in the ribs. Watson falls back down and Davis stomps him in the ribs again before stomping him in the face. He backs up and runs across the ring. He goes for a facewash, but Watson rolls out of the way. Davis stops himself. He turns around and Watson jump up and snaps him over with a hurricanrana into a pin.

Davis kicks out. Both get up and Davis goes for a clothesline, but Watson ducks and jumps to the middle rope before just backflipping back and kicking Davis in the head with the In Your Face. The crowd ohs.

 

Knots: “Ha! Look at that! IN YA FACE!”

 

Sharper: “That backflip kick…from the middle rope too…Davis is dazed and probably confused!”

 

Davis is half out of it and Watson grabs him and double underhooks him before hitting the Insubordination Rules. He then rolls him over and hooks the leg.

 

1!

The crowd boos as Watson rolls off. He then gets up and celebrates.

 

Knots: “Well apparently some loud mouths finish last too!”

 

Sharper: “Ryan Watson with another win. And he has to be considered a favourite in that US Championship match.”

 

Knots: “Told you. Him or Gable!”

 

Sharper: “I heard you. Meanwhile, Justin Davis is going to have to get back to where he was two weeks ago and be ready for the Adrenaline match.”

 

Watson rolls out of the ring. He just smiles as he walks to the back, not looking back at all, just enjoying his victory.

The scene opens up backstage to see Jessica Winters standing next to Typhoid Mary and Brittany Lohan. The crowd roars seeing them.

 

Jessica: “I am here with Brittany Lohan and Typhoid Mary and after Supreme Saturday, we know for certain that you, Brittany, will face off against Regan Street. After tormenting her and now Regan going after Mary…are you ready to go into a Last Woman Standing match with her for the Women’s Championship.”

 

Lohan: “Seriously. You’re asking me if I’m ready?”

 

Lohan smirks.

 

Lohan: “That’s cute. The fact is that this is just a year in the making and Regan needs to enjoy and savour these last few weeks she has of not only her Women’s Championship reign, but also very well her career. She wants to go into a war with no rules. We can be the harbingers of her destruction. Happily.”

 

Lohan then turns to Mary.

 

Lohan: “The attempted assault on Mary…that was laughable. Mary…she enjoyed the attention, but now watching you go after Mr. D…or Jackson Adams…where is your head at? Seems like I’ve gone and broke you. Too bad…I was expecting more of a fight in these last few weeks. Instead, Rise to Greatness X will see your demise…and I’m pretty sure the world will enjoy that just as well. Especially when I can end it whenever I feel like it.”

 

Lohan pauses for a moment and turns back to the camera.

 

Lohan: “Regan…good luck against Jackson. I’ll be watching…”

 

Lohan and Mary walk off as Jessica watches her walk off. The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we return to Mr. D’s office as Desmond, surname Drake, is standing there. Madison Chase then bursts in.

 

Chase: “Okay, so where the hell is he?”

 

Desmond: “Um…excuse me?”

 

Chase: “Ah…who are you and where is the rest of you?”

 

Desmond: “This is just how I was born and my name is Desmond Drake. I’m interning under Mr. D.”

 

Chase: “Great. Well, how about you tell me how he makes stupid decisions like leaving me out of ANY of those contendership matches. I mean, hello! I’m undefeated!”

 

Mr. D then walks in.

 

Chase: “You!”

 

Mr. D: “Yes, me. This is my office. I would hope it was me too.”

 

Chase: “What is your problem, mister?”

 

Mr. D: “Hmmm…how should I answer that question. Perhaps if you show some respect to the man who can fire you if he wants-“

 

Drake: “With board approval.”

 

Mr. D: “Of course…”

 

Chase: “Why am I not in ANY of those contendership matches? I’m undefeated, I’m charming. I’m a star. People love me!”

 

Mr. D: “We met the blonde quotient-“

 

Chase: “Quo-what?”

 

Drake: “He means the maximum-“

 

Chase: “Grow two feet and then talk to me!”

 

Chase turns back to Mr. D.

 

Mr. D: “I’ll tell you exactly why. You demanded an opportunity without necessarily doing enough to earn it. The Watsons, they did the same, but they’ve been showing they’re ready for the shot.”

 

Chase “And I’m not!”

 

Mr. D: “You still haven’t gotten the new wrestler smell off you.”

 

Chase: “Excuse me?! I smell wonderfully!”

 

Mr. D sighs.

 

Mr. D: “I wish we had armed guards.”

 

Chase: “I will be on Rise to Greatness…It’s going to happen!”

 

Chase turns and storms off. Mr. D turns to Desmond Drake.

 

Desmond: “Well that went well.”

 

Mr. D: “Surprisingly. I was waiting for her to mace you for no reason.”

 

We then cut to ringside.

The opening riff to "Cochise" hits the PA system and the fans begin to boo. The song eventually kicks into gear. Collin soon emerges from the curtains sporting a black and silver jacket and in his hands he has the metallic briefcase that he earned from Siousxie. Soon, Siousxie Blade skips alongside with him as Collin looks into the crowd

Well, I've been watching
While you've been coughing.
I've been drinking life
While you've been nauseous.
And so I drink to health,
While you kill yourself.
And I've got just one thing that I can offer,

Collin walks down the ramp with a focus expression as Siousxie follows jovially. Collin continues holding the briefcase in his hands while Siouxsie follows suit and makes faces with a few of the crowd members. Collin walks over to the steel steps before running up the stairs and slowly ascends the turnbuckle. Once he's up there Collin looks into the crowd, provoking more of a negative reaction from the crowd.

Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me.
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me. Yeah.

Cole eventually jumps off as Siouxsie Blade is handed a microphone. She takes it and smiles as she walks around the ring. Cole walks over towards her and joins her as the crowd boos them.

 

Sharper: “Collin Cole is coming off a victory against Marina Trent on Supreme Saturday. You have to wonder what he’s going to say given two weeks ago, Marina Trent told Devon Kayl to earn the shot and Cole took issues with Kayl.”

 

Knots: “There’s enough to go around. Just think of that match. Could be great!”

 

Cole walks around as Siouxsie starts to talk.

 

Siouxsie: “Oh US Champion! US Champion! Where are you?! You have a challenger here!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Siouxsie: “After all of that talk about earning shots, someone in this very ring did just that. I’ll give you three guesses. It’s not me…it’s not the creepy cameraman that is way too much in my personal space….it’s Collin Cole!”

 

The crowd boos as some more as Cole just throws his arms in the air.

 

Siouxsie: “He beat Marina Trent in this ring…well, not this exact one…the one at Supreme Saturday! But he did it. And meanwhile, those other stiffs, like Devon Kayl and others, they come out and ask…Collin does. Oh yes, that’s right…he does!”

 

The boos continue to come from all over as Siouxsie then hands the microphone to Cole. He takes it and walks over to the ropes.

 

Cole: “That’s right. See, unlike Devon Kayl who wants to come out and just talk about how he doesn’t think Marina Trent is fit, I don’t just spew it. I do it. I am the Bird of Prey for a reason and I destroyed the Swan and now…it’s only fair…I beat her in this ring, straight up, and Marina Trent…that belt…it’s as good as mine. Just now to name the time and place and I can do that really nice and simply…Rise to Greatness sounds perfect to me!”

 

Sharper: “Of course it does.”

 

Knots: “Well do you have a reason to deny him?!”

 

Cole: “So, Marina…D, I don’t care who. Come on out and give the people what they want. Give ME what I deserve. You talked about getting it done in the ring earlier tonight. I did just that!”

 

The crowd boos and buzzes.

 

"THIS... IS... KAYL TV!"


The opening chords of the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme play over the crowd, bringing the raucous SCW crowd to their feet booing. After the opening chords and drum beats, the opening guitar riff to "The Sound of Madness" by Shinedown plays. Devon Kayl steps out on top of the ramp, with the lovely Skylar Desoubrais by his side. He has a microphone in his hand.

 

Kayl: “Hold it…hold it…hold it…”

 

Kayl takes a few steps down the rampway before stopping as his music fades out.

 

Kayl: “Why in the world are they going to do that? The fact of the matter is Collin…even a blind squirrel finds a nut. You are not capable of improving the situation we are in. I mean we have people like Marina Trent…people who literally slept their way to the top…albeit it with the World Champion…sure…she can get things done in the ring. She’s had a lot of success in the Women’s Division and she’s a fine wrestler….but champion…of the United States? I’m Canadian and I’m appalled!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Kayl: “It needs a star…just like this star needs his championship. And since I have to take a step back for a while with regards to the World Championship, having to wait until Apocalypse. I am going to do the next best thing and that is challenge for the US Championship…and in the process put a star there. Someone not like Marina. Someone that doesn’t need the flash, the pizzazz, the Black Swan, the Mist…someone like me…who is a certified Star of Tomorrow…someone who has a proven track record as a champion…and someone who is ready to take his mantle of the leader of this company. Marina…can’t do any of that. Couldn’t win Tactical Warfare. Couldn’t win her title shot at EotY. All things that if I get the chance, I’d do with no sweat. You couldn’t Collin and neither can she.”

 

Cole: “You’re married to CHBK’s daughter! You hung off his coattails and you’re getting-“

 

Kayl: “Irrelevant!”

 

Cole: “Well too bad that you haven’t competed in a full match in months!”

 

Mr. D: “Ah…guys…”

 

The crowd roars as Mr. D appears on the big screen. Kayl turns around and looks up as Cole and Siouxsie do the same.

 

Mr. D: “It’s great to see both of you so interested in competing for the United States Championship. And to be fair, I was planning to just give this opportunity to Collin Cole, but Devon…you convinced me…you convinced me to give you a shot, only because after everything you’ve been saying…after seeing how you and Cole seem to be constantly surrounding one another…Marina Trent would love to get her hands on you…and Cole, Kayl….I think both of you need to solve some issues too. So at Rise to Greatness X…Both Devon Kayl and Collin Cole will challenge Marina Trent for the United States Championship and we’ll see who really is fit to be champion. Enjoy…”

 

Mr. D then disappears from the screen as the crowd roars. “Cult of Personality” starts to play. Kayl just smiles as he turns back to the ring. Cole has a half smile, but half glare.

 

Sharper: “A huge triple threat match now added to Rise to Greatness. Collin Cole and Devon Kayl. Both will challenge!”

 

Knots: “That’s going to be an awesome match! Three great stars!”

 

Sharper: “Still can’t get used to you praising Kayl.”

 

Knots: “He’s starting to see the light!”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure!”

 

The scene cuts backstage.

Backstage we see Simon Lyman walking backstage before turning around a corner and Damian Angel stands against the wall. He just clears his throat and Lyman stops and turns around.

 

Lyman: “What? You going to attack me with a pipe now to my face.”

 

Damian smirks. He just steps forward.

 

Damian: “Not at all. Just going to give some friendly advice.”

 

Lyman: “And why would you do that? Especially since I don’t trust you a bit.”

 

Damian: “That’s your problem, not mine. You made it personal. It was business to me.”

 

Lyman: “What do you want?”

 

Damian: “As someone who has faced Desoubrais twice at Rise to Greatness and hunted him for all that time…hoping to end him….be careful…because if he wants something, he’s going to do everything to get it.”

 

Damian steps forward and turns back to Lyman.

 

Damian: “You decide if you want to trust me or not.”

 

Damian then walks off as Lyman watches him walk off and takes a deep breath as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Orlando Cruze vs. Robert Joseph Kelly

 

The arena lights dim down to almost nothing as orange lights flash in an alternate pattern on either side of the stage. The sound of a rail crossing buzzer plays over the speakers for a split second before the horn of a large freight train blasts out over the top of the alarm. As the horn sound dies, "Lonely Train" by the Black Stone Cherry blasts through the speakers and as it does, the lights above the stage flicker on and we see Robert Joseph Kelly standing at the top of the ramp with his arms out on either side of him, his back turned to the crowd. A small number of the crowd cheer but the rest look on impassively as Robert spins around and throws his arms out on either side of him again, his head looking up to the rafters. As the song kicks in fully, he begins to walk down to the ring.

Phillips: "On his way to the ring, fighting out of Denver Colorado and weighing in at two hundred and one pounds... Robert, Joseph, KELLYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

Robert reaches the bottom of the ramp and jumps up onto the apron, where he quickly jumps through the ropes and into the ring, pacing around the ring rolling his neck around before standing in the middle of the ring and throwing his arms out to the side again, sending sparks firing up from the ring posts. As the sparks die, Robert settles into the corner, leaning against the turnbuckles as he waits for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “What is the Perfect World going to be thinking about here? A big opportunity to make a statement and they’ve been also vocal on twitter about IWC and their actions.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, well, that Rise to Perfection BS…who cares right now. Just kick Cruze’s ass.”

 

Sharper: “We even saw some of their arrogance earlier when they handed the titles back to Mr. D.”

 

Knots: “Meanwhile, Katie Steward…I can’t believe I’m saying this…she’s going to be watching.”

 

Sharper: “That’s right. It’s official. Katie Steward and Orlando Cruze will go one on one at Rise to Greatness X!”

 

The arena goes dark, and the rumblings of distant thunder can be heard. A crack of thunder fills the air, accompanied by the opening of ‘In the house, In a heartbeat’ and Orlando Cruze, with the IWC Championship over his shoulder, steps out onto the ramp way, the crowd welcoming him with jeers, his new found attitude not adhering him to the SCW fans that already recognised him as that guy from IWC. He doesn’t care though, and merely scoffs at them, heading down the ramp way and towards the ring. As he reaches the ring steps he pauses, before climbing them and pausing again to look out with amusement at those at ringside, before bending under the ropes and into the ring.

 

Sharper: “The arrogance of that man.”

 

Knots: “And even holding that damn IWC champion.”

 

Sharper: “Robert Joseph Kelly will have a lot of eyes on him in this one.”

 

Knots: “Lots of pressure. Let’s see what Kelcey Wallace has taught the kid.”

 

The bell sounds and Cruze smirks at RJK. RJK looks at Cruze and the two move towards each other and Cruze kicks him in the knee. RJK staggers back and Cruze kicks him in the leg again before kicking him in the ribs and nailing him with a hard right. He then smiles as he kicks RJK in the ribs and then again and again, knocking RJK down to a seated position. Cruze then stomps him in the head before pressing his boot down and starting to choke him.

Cruze steps back and walks around the ring. RJK rolls over and grabs at the ropes, coughing. He starts to get up and Cruze walks over and clubs him hard in the back. RJK falls down and rolls over again. Cruze then grabs him and drags him away from the ropes by his legs. RJK tries to struggle, but Cruze pulls one leg away before elbowing him in the thigh. Cruze then rolls over and gets up as RJK rolls over in pain.

 

Sharper: “Cruze not even giving him a chance to think. RJK is at a great experience disadvantage in this one.”

 

Knots: “Well come on. He’s got this great leader in Kelcey Wallace! That shouldn’t matter. Hell! Cruze’s leader is Hurse. And he’s a moron!”

 

RJK starts to get up and Cruze walks over and nails him with a hard right. RJK falls to the corner. Cruze pulls him out before pushing him against the ropes. RJK bounces off and Cruze back drops him over on the rebound. RJK gets back up and Cruze kicks him in the ribs and hits a vertical suplex. He rolls over and goes for the pin.

RJK kicks out. He rolls over and Cruze gets up and stomps him in the face. He rolls over in pain and Cruze drags him up. He pulls him to the corner and then steps back before smirking and then going for a back elbow, but RJK ducks down and spins around. He nails Cruze with a huge right. Kelly steps back and Cruze then runs at him and RJK ducks a clothesline before grabbing him and hitting a Russian leg sweep.

 

Sharper: “Great Russian leg sweep. Orlando Cruze down and in pain.”

 

Knots: “There you go. Now just keep doing that!”

 

Cruze starts to get up and Robert Joseph Kelly grabs him and hits a back suplex. He then rolls over and hooks the leg.

Cruze pushes him off. Both men get up and Kelly kicks Cruze in the ribs before lifting him up and driving him down face first into his knee. Cruze pops up and Kelly watches him. Cruze ends up at the ropes. Kelly runs at him and Cruze gets his elbow up. The crowd boos. RJK stumbles back and ends up in the middle of the ring. Cruze then runs at him and Kelly scoops him up and hits a backbreaker. He then goes for another pin.

Cruze gets his shoulder off the canvas and the crowd sighs.

 

Sharper: “Nearfall. Not enough, but Robert Joseph Kelly staying on top of Orlando Cruze!”

 

Knots: “Hot damn. He hasn’t flubbed it yet!”

 

Sharper: “Kelly has always been a fighter.”

 

Knots: “So has everyone! This is wrestling. You need to do that!”

 

Cruze starts to get up and Kelly clubs him in the back. He clubs him again. He then grabs him and tries to lock in a dragon sleeper. The crowd roars. Cruze however blocks it and elbows Kelly in the ribs. He then elbows him again before elbowing him in the jaw. Kelly bounces back and off the ropes before Cruze scoops him up onto his shoulders and hits a Samoan drop. The crowd boos. Cruze then gets up. He walks around the ring as Kelly gets back to his feet. He then kicks Kelly in the ribs and places his head between his legs. He then goes for a powerbomb, but Kelly sits on his shoulders and nails Cruze with a hard right and then another and another before sliding down. He then steps past him and hits a neckbreaker. The crowd roars. A faint “RJK!” chant begins as Kelly looks around.

 

Sharper: “These fans are chanting for Robert Joseph Kelly. He may be about to get the biggest win of his career!”

 

Knots: “And maybe the biggest win of the night!”

 

Kelly then gets up and turns to Cruze and starts to lift him up, but Cruze then kicks him in the leg. Kelly drops and Cruze then locks in the Iconic. The crowd boos as Orlando just smiles. Kelly reaches around, but Cruze turns his hips, causing Kelly to fall to the mat. Orlando then tightens the triangle choke. Kelly keeps trying to reach around, but clearly starts to go limp. The crowd boos as Orlando keeps the hold on and Kelly then taps his legs as the crowd boos. Orlando keeps the hold on for a few moments longer before then letting go.

 

Sharper: “Orlando Cruze caught him. And that smile…”

 

Knots: “He’s just loving it. That was perfect…NOT!”

 

Sharper: “Orlando Cruze taking care of Robert Joseph Kelly there.”

 

Orlando starts to get up and smiles as the referee goes to raise his hand. He just shoves him down before demanding his IWC World Championship. The referee drops down and Jason Phillips grabs the IWC World Championship.

 

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

 

“Vanity” starts to play and the crowd cheers as Katie Steward walks out from the back, steel chair in her hand. With her is Paris Dannon, TJ Johnson, Robin Brooks and Gigi Steward. They start to make their way to the ring as the crowd roars. Orlando Cruze turns and grabs his title before looking around and getting ready to defend himself with the title.

 

Sharper: “Katie Steward on her way. She’s got her backup. Orlando Cruze is on his own!”

 

Knots: “Oh my God! This may be the moment the world stops. I may really say something good about Katie Steward!”

 

Cruze continues to wait as Paris, Robin and TJ start to circle the ring. Katie Steward stands at the entrance way. The crowd continues to cheer as Cruze starts to look around and then Paris and TJ slide in. Katie slides in too. Cruze turns to Robin before stopping and Katie gets in and nails him in the ribs with the chair. The crowd roars. Cruze falls over and Dannon stomps him in the ribs as TJ does the same. Just then, we see Jackson Adams jog out from the back. Behind them, we see Hurse and Porno Lad head down after them, both with their IWC World Tag Team Championship belts. They slide in and Porno Lad goes after TJ as Robin enters the ring. Jackson slides in and Katie nails him in the ribs with the chair. He falls over and drops down to the floor. Hurse then gets up and goes to nail Katie, but Katie threatens him with the chair, and he drops the belt, throwing it back before dropping down. Katie goes to nail him, but Hurse backs up. He then looks at the ring. Porno Lad turns to TJ and TJ grabs him and Porno Lad goes to club him as Robin then shoves Porno Lad back. Paris Dannon turns and dropkicks Porno Lad, causing him to fall over and his belt to fall to the floor. Porno Lad starts to get up as Katie turns back and nails Cruze in the back as he gets up. The crowd cheers. Hurse starts to pace. Just then, we see Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan run out from the back.

 

Sharper: “This is nuts out here. Katie Steward and her back up are holding control of the ring!”

 

Knots: “Cashmere Mafia!”

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan on their way out! Hurse and Porno Lad I don’t think know!”

 

Kennedy runs over as Dawn Lohan then grabs the tag title Hurse threw back and Kennedy grabs Hurse and rolls him into the ring. Hurse rolls over and starts to get up before Katie turns and nails him in the ribs, knocking him over. Orlando Cruze continues to stir and Paris Dannon and Katie stomp at him. Robin Brooks just remains back as TJ Johnson starts to look around. Kennedy then turns and runs over and grabs Porno Lad’s IWC Tag Team Championship belt. Porno Lad starts to get up and Kennedy kicks him in the face, knocking him back. She then backs up and runs over to Dawn. Dawn and Kennedy then back up and head to the back with the IWC World Tag Team Championships. Katie then turns and looks at Cruze before looking around.

 

Sharper: “Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan have the IWC Tag Titles!”

 

Knots: “Hot damn! A bit of turnabout!”

 

Sharper: “And in the ring…Orlando Cruze is in a bad way! Katie Steward with the chair!”

 

Jackson Adams then gets back in and gets up before turning to Katie and Katie kicks him in the ribs. She throws the chair down before double underhooking him and hitting the Save the Queen. Cruze then rolls out of the ring. Katie gets up and looks up and turns to Cruze who is backing away. He goes to the barricade as Hurse and Porno Lad recover. Cruze starts to get back as Katie just lets out a Goddess Scream. “Vanity” then starts to play.

 

Sharper: “Katie was so close! But Jackson Adams with the save and the ultimate price!”

 

Knots: “Save the queen. That doorknob is down. And then he has to deal with Regan later!”

 

Sharper: “Cruze is a lucky man tonight.”

 

Knots: “But Hurse and Porno Lad aren’t as much! Cashmere Mafia has their titles!”

 

Sharper: “Oh man….business is picking up tonight!”

 

Katie continues to stand in the ring with Robin Brooks, TJ Johnson, and Paris Dannon. The crowd cheers for them as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We return from break and are backstage as we see Jackson Adams, holding his head and neck as Orlando Cruze winces and Hurse and Porno Lad look none too pleased.

 

PL: “Bitches be crazy! They came from nowhere!”

 

Cruze: “Look….Hurse…I’m going to say it now.”

 

Hurse: “Don’t…we just lost the IWC World Tag Team Championships! And I don’t make enough from this crap company to buy a new tub of bleach to get their crabs off them when we get them back! As for what I know you’re saying…”

 

Jackson: “He’s right.”

 

Hurse: “We need to get the titles back…then we’ll be thinking clearly. They have our grubby titles.”

 

Cruze: “Yeah…but maybe we need to bring out the big guns now…That was too close for other reasons too.”

 

Cruze and Jackson start to walk off as Hurse and Porno Lad shake their head and then follow afterward.

Rachel Foxx vs. Stacy Kissinger

 

The lighting over head plunges the entire arena into a shade of blue. The SCWtron comes to life to show a set of deep brown eyes. It slowly zooms out to show the face of Stacy Kissinger and zooms out even further until her entire 6’0” and about 135 pound frame can be seen before if zooms back in real fast to just show Stacy’s face. Words begin to appear on the screen, fading in. Words like “misunderstood”, “heartbroken”, “insulted”, “made fun of” can be seen as an extended instrumental beginning to Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” begins to play on the arena’s sound system.

These words fade away and are replaced by more positive words that define Stacy. Those being “focused”, “determined”, “caring”, and “well-spirited”. As those words fade, the SCWtron replaces the still of Stacy Kissinger’s frame with some shots of her amidst the SCW fan base and other shots of her in action in the ring. Meanwhile a spotlight appears from the side of the arena opposing the stage. The fans cheer as Stacy Kissinger steps out of the shadows and into the light, wearing a plain white halter dress and a pair of pristine white shoes. She dives right into the first verse of “Stronger”, standing still at the top of one of the many staircases in the arena.

Ya know the bed feels warmah,
Sleepin’ here alone,
Ya know I dream in color,
And do the things I want.

Stacy slowly begins to go down the steps of the staircase as she carries on singing, while shaking hands with fans lucky enough to be at the ends of the rows in the aisle seats.

Ya think ya got the best of me
Think ya had the last laugh
Bet ya think that everythin’ good is gone.

Think ya left me broken down
Think that I’d come runnin’ back
Baby ya don't know me, ‘cause yer dead wrong.

Right as Stacy hits the chorus, a rocket firework can be heard and seen coming from the center of the arena and heads to the stage. It goes off when it gets to the stage, right when Stacy sings the words “stronger” and the crowd seems to be wowed, their attention diverted for a moment before putting their eyes back on Stacy who is still slowly descending the staircase, getting closer and closer to the ring as she goes.

What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah
Stand a little tallah
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill ya makes a fightah
Footsteps even lightah
Doesn't mean I’m over ‘cause yer gone

What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah, strongah
Just me mahself and I
What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah, strongah
Stand a little tallah
Doesn't mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

Stacy begins the second verse to the song as the blue lights change to white now making Stacy and the entire arena glow. She even puts on a pure, genuine smile as she continues to look around at her surroundings, at the fans as she continues to just sing and sing for them.

Ya heard that I was startin’ over with someone new,
They told ya I was movin’ on, over you,
Ya didn't think that I'd come back, I’d come back swingin’
Ya try to break me but ya see

What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah
Stand a little tallah
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't kill ya makes a fightah
Footsteps even lightah
Doesn't mean I’m over ‘cause yer gone

What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah, strongah
Just me mahself and I
What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah, strongah
Stand a little tallah
Doesn't mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

More rocket fireworks have gone off as she’s gone through the chorus once again. By the end of the chorus, Stacy has traversed the entire staircase and is now down at the bottom. She wades her way through the crowd until coming to the crowd barrier. She stops here and looks back up at the fans as she reaches the climax of her entrance theme

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinkin’ 'bout me

Ya know in the end the day I left was just my beginnin’..... in the end...

What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah
Stand a little tallah
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

At this point Stacy turns to the ring and hops over the crowd barrier, still singing into the microphone as she goes. She walks up a set of the steel ring steps and climbs into the ring, continuing her performance, seeing it all the way through for the fans.

What doesn't kill ya makes a fightah
Footsteps even lightah
Doesn't mean I'm ovah ‘cause yer gone.

What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah, strongah
Just me, mahself and I
What doesn't kill ya makes ya strongah
Stand a little tallah
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

I'm not alone.

Stacy Kissinger looks up at the lights as she finishes the last words of the song as the arena lights return to normal. The instrumental makes its return as she places the microphone down in a corner of the ring as the music fades to an end. As soon as it does Stacy begins to warm up in the corner of the ring that she’s chosen.

 

Knots: “Jesus. This show could be a lot shorter if she didn’t have to ruin it with her crap singing.”

 

Sharper: “I happen to like it.”

 

Knots: “That’s why the people need me here to commentate instead of you. You have no good judgment!”

 

The lights flicker then go dark as the entire arena is bathed in darkness and the crowd falls silent. The silence lingers for a few moments before being shattered by the grim voice of J. Robert Oppenheimer

"Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds"

The phrase "destroyer of worlds" echoes softly through the arena as the eerily soft intro of Karnivool's "L1FEL1KE" fades up underneath it. The intro crescendos and flares into blaring guitars as the words "The Suicide Queen" appear on the screen and a huge set of white pyros illuminate the stage area. As they do the words on the screen are replaced by "RACHEL FOXX" setting the entire crowd off in a frenzy of Boos. As the pyros die down, we see the Suicide Queen standing in the entrance with Jesse rose behind her. Rachel is wearing her usual ring gear, a black Affliction half-shirt which hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt, black fishnets and knee-high black leather boots. On top of her ring gear she is wearing a hooded black leather vest with the hood covering her face. Jesse is wearing the same thing minus the hooded vest. In her right hand, Rachel grips her trademark sledge hammer. As Rachel makes her way down the ramp, there is a heavy sorrow visible in her eyes. Just then, the crowd roars as James Evans runs out from the back and jumps onto the back of Rachel, causing her to fall forward and down into the ramp and towards the ring. The crowd roars as Rachel drops the sledgehammer and James Evans nails her with a couple of shots to the head as Rachel rolls away. Jessica Rose goes to stop James, but James shoves her back. Rachel gets up and James turns and nails her with a kick to the ribs before tackling her back into the ring. Security starts to head down from the back.

 

Sharper: “James Evans! He’s here!”

 

Knots: “Why? He’s not under contract! Get him out of here!”

 

Sharper: “He’s going right after Rachel Foxx!”

 

James is pulled back by a couple of security guards and Rachel looks up before turning and rolling into the ring. She starts to get up and the bell sounds before Stacy runs over and kicks Rachel in the ribs. She nails her again and nails her with a forearm. Stacy then grabs Rachel and goes to fire her into the ropes. Rachel however spins through and sends Stacy in. Stacy bounces off and Rachel hits a dropkick. Stacy hits the mat. The crowd roars as James Evans gets in again, freeing himself from security. He gets up and Rachel turns and James clotheslines him down as the crowd roars and the bell sounds. James turns and stomps Rachel in the ribs before dropping down and starting to hammer away on him with hard rights. Stacy then comes over and shoves him back. James falls back and gets up to go after Stacy, but security comes in and pulls James down. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “James Evans being pulled off. He’s quickly ruined this match. Stacy’s not happy. Rachel is still getting up.”

 

Knots: “And we’ve now got more company! Christy Matthews!”

 

Christy Matthews runs out from the back, Pete Ebdon with her and slides in. As security gets James down to the floor, Christy slides in. She runs over and Rachel gets up and Christy nails her with a kick to the ribs and then another and another and another. The crowd cheers. Stacy just drops down, clearly unhappy and backs away. Jessica Rose starts to enter and Pete Ebdon just stops her from getting into the ring. Christy stomps away at Rachel before we then see Tatum McGraw run out from the back. The crowd boos and Tatum runs down before sliding into the ring. Pete Ebdon turns and Tatum McGraw nails him in the ribs with a shot before turning and clubbing Christy. Christy falls over. Ebdon then turns and nails Tatum with a hard right. The crowd cheers as Ebdon nails Tatum with another shot and then another and another.

 

Sharper: “My God! Ebdon! Pete Ebdon is teeing off on Tatum McGraw. We’ve never seen him this active!”

 

Knots: “Holy crap!”

 

Sharper: “Tatum McGraw is eating right hands!”

 

Tatum falls to the ropes and just then, we see Blitzkrieg start to make his way from the back. The crowd boos as Ebdon goes to clothesline Tatum, but Tatum kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a knee. Christy then gets up and turns before nailing Tatum with a clothesline. She goes after him as Rachel starts to get up. Blitzkrieg reaches the ring and pulls himself up as Aiken starts to smile. James Evans starts to be dragged away and he tries to get to Aiken as Aiken just laughs at him too. Blitzkrieg then enters and Christy gets up before Blitzkrieg grabs her with a double choke before throwing her across the ring. Aiken pulls himself onto the apron before Blitzkrieg turns and nails Ebdon with a boot. Aiken then enters the ring and walks over to Rachel and extends his hand. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute…Aiken’s extending his hand to Rachel Foxx!”

 

Knots: “The three most violent people in SCW are in that ring!”

 

Rachel takes it and pulls herself up as Aiken, Tatum, Blitzkrieg and Rachel now stand tall. Jessica Rose stands on the floor just watching and enjoying it. We then suddenly see Kelcey Wallace walk out from the back, with Robert Joseph Kelly and Shaya Blackley, with Shawn Mason & El Cuchillo, all of them holding weapons of some sort. Kelcey has a chair while Kelly has a bat, Shaya has a kendo stick and El Cuchillo has brass knuckles. Mason just looks down before they then bolt for the ring. Aiken just slowly exits the ring and Kelcey Wallace slides in with the rest of the Perfect World. Tatum feigns going after them before glancing to Aiken and Aiken shakes his head. Tatum rolls out of the ring. Blitzkrieg just looks at Kelcey as he smiles. Rachel drops down as well. Blitzkrieg smiles and Kelcey just looks at him before drilling him in the head with the chair. The crowd ohs and Blitzkrieg stumbles back and falls out of the ring. Kelcey looks at him and then yells at them to get back into the ring. Aiken then taps his cane, changing it into his microphone.

 

Sharper: “Kelcey Wallace with a hell of a shot. Blitzkrieg getting his hands up and still dazed!”

 

Knots: “A Perfect shot?”

 

Aiken: “Well what a fine display…Good to see all of our rivals gathered in one place…aside from a few that can’t be with us as they pushed just too far…”

 

Aiken pauses for a moment as the crowd boos.

 

Aiken: “Too bad for you all of you, you just ensured that you will face hell at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Aiken laughs a bit as “Final Test” starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd boos as Cardinal Sin and Rachel Foxx make their way around the ring. Perfect World just watches them.

 

Sharper: “What does that mean? What is he talking about?”

 

Knots: “I don’t know, but think of everyone else that has gone against him…they aren’t doing so hot!”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Rachel Foxx and Cardinal Sin standing together…if that doesn’t scare you….what will?”

 

They continue on their way to the back as Breakdown cuts to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see A$AP Scrappy walking through the hallways with A$AP Smash.

 

Scrappy: “Look. I’m gettin’ pretty pissed about how that son of a bitch who attacked me a few weeks ago hasn’t even shown his damn face.”

 

Smash: “Well if he tries again…”

 

Scrappy: “Yeah, well, I want him to. I want him to come out and just see how it goes a second time.”

 

Smash: “Exactly.”

 

Just then, someone nails Scrappy in the ribs with a stick of some sort. Scrappy falls over. Smash steps forward to grab the attacker, only to get something splashed into his face. Smash turns and yells out as he turns away, rubbing his eyes furiously. We then see Chef Charles Cummings come into view. He just scoffs. Scrappy starts to get up.

 

Cummings: “Tell you bodyguard to run some water in his eyes for a while…Tobasco burns….as for you….well you don’t need to be so angry…just amazing how simple it is to take you out.”

 

Scrappy gets up and swings at him, but Cummings sidesteps him and nails him in the back with the same stick he had which is now revealed to be a rolling pin.

 

Cummings: “Need to drum up some class here….turn this place into fine dining instead of fast food. And you…you’re my next target…feel honoured…You’ll get the dish of a lifetime.”

 

Cummings turns as Smash gets up and swings, trying to still rub his eyes, yelling in pain. The crowd boos as Cummings backs up and walks off.

We then cut to ringside as “Hot Like Wow” by Natalie Oh plays throughout the arena. The lights go out and a single spotlight shines in the entranceway. A few moments pass before we see Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan walk out from the back with the IWC World Tag Team Championship belts. They don’t have them around their waists or over their shoulders, but instead are dragging them behind them. They look around before walking down to the ring and Trinity Street follows them to the ring.

 

Sharper: “I guess we’re going to find out what they want to do here.”

 

Knots: “Well Cashmere Mafia is giving those titles the proper respect. Just dragging them, much like Brian Lohan does after she finished hunting gazelle in the plains of Africa. Dawn’s following Brian’s footsteps!”

 

They reach the ring and enter it, little fanfare. Trinity follows them as Kennedy Street turns and walks over to the ropes and asks for a microphone. Dawn Lohan just looks around and smiles as she looks down at the IWC title behind her and smirks before looking at the entrance way. The music fades out as Kennedy turns back to the middle of the ring.

 

Kennedy: “Don’t worry…we’re not just here to look good. We’re here because everyone is apparently wanting to know what we think after what Hurse and Porno Lad did to our titles. We have Next Level talking about how we don’t seem to care, and honey, David…Tommy…be careful who you call out because we have no problem ripping off adam’s apples and whatever else you may have to get you to realize that we are here to stay and those SCW World Tag Titles are ours…and we care quite a bit…”

 

Kennedy pauses as Trinity smirks.

 

Kennedy: “Now, you want to know what we think…well, we have a bit of something to help us out. Since IWC wants to play games and take our titles, ruin them and just because they think these trinkets are worth something more…trust me when I say I know my products and Gucci wouldn’t take this leather and the nickel in these plates aren’t worth a damn to the mint. But if you care so much…after what you took from us…you know what, I suggest a deal…I suggest a match to make everyone happy. IWC, you can look like the second rate chumps you are…Helms and Valentine can get their asses kicked by two people who’s asses are dreamt about my men everywhere and WE make sure the world knows we are the Tag Champions and we GIVE A DAMN!”

 

The crowd roars as Kennedy looks around and Dawn nods.

 

Kennedy: “So…how about this….Next Level….IWC….Cashmere Mafia…all three of us in one lovely match…both the SCW World Tag Team Championship and the IWC World Tag Team Championship on the line…and when we’re done, we’ll then toss these things into the trash where they belong. How does that sound? Huh?”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Kennedy: “I think that sounds damn good-“

 

Dawn then comes over and whispers something to Kennedy.

 

Kennedy: “You’re right Dawn…it is missing something. We don’t get to take out our frustrations…too easy to be disqualified! Hmmm…well, then….what do you suggest?”

 

Kennedy hands the microphone to Dawn. Dawn smiles as she looks around before turning to Kennedy.

 

Dawn: “Well, how about we have some fun…IWC….Next Level…Cashmere Mafia…and we take both sets of titles and raise them above the ring…and in the process, if they want to show us they’re the most athletic they can….if they want to show us they’re the most brutal, they can…and we make it Tables, Ladders and Chairs!”

 

The crowd cheers. Dawn smiles as Trinity just laughs and Kennedy turns to Dawn.

 

Kennedy: “If I break a nail-“

 

Dawn: “It’ll be fine…just imagine how good those massages will feel when we’re standing as the SCW World Tag Team Championships and Next Level and IWC can shove it up their sanctimonious behinds!”

 

Dawn smiles as she hands the microphone back to Kennedy.

 

Kennedy: “Oh…that’s good…You wanted our response….there it is!”

 

“Hot Like Whoa” starts to play and Kennedy places the microphone down before the two of them start to drag the titles out of the ring. They exit and start to head to the back.

 

Sharper: “The gauntlet has been laid down. A TLC match for the World Tag Team Championship at Rise to Greatness X!”

 

Knots: “Oh God! We’re going to see falling hot chicks and the greatest wrestlers in the world….oh and those IWC pricks….all taking each other out!”

 

Sharper: “And it’s up to Mr. D to sign off, but I don’t see why not! A huge match right there!”

 

The crowd cheers as they continue on their way to the back. The camera  follows them to the back before we see Simon Lyman walk out from the back and meet them at the top of the stage. Kennedy, Dawn and Trinity stop before Simon goes to Trinity.

 

Lyman: “You’re sticking with me here. Tonight…you’re coming with me.”

 

Dawn: “She’s fine.”

 

Trinity: “I’m fine Simon.”

 

Lyman: “Just…please…for me…”

 

They then turn and start to exit to the back as the crowd continues to cheer them and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore starts to play as we see a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the top rope Decimator on CHBK before showing a shot of Shilo Valiant celebrating at the end of the night with the World Championship and then showing Jamal Evans being thrown off the scaffold during a scaffold scramble match.

 

“SCW presents your Rise to Greatness Recall!”

 

We go back to Rise to Greatness 2007. We open up to see Damian Angel vs. CHBK. CHBK falls back into the ropes and bounces off of them and Angel gets up and kicks him in the ribs. He then grabs him in a front face lock before quickly turning around and hitting CHBK with the snap bulldog. CHBK is driven face first into the mat and lays on his stomach.

 

Sharper: “That’s vicious whiplash by Angel and CHBK is driven head first into the mat!”

 

Dawson: “Angel is now getting up and it looks like he’s climbing to the top.”

 

Johnson: “Both men have used the ropes to their advantage. They’re doing anything and everything.”

 

Angel starts to climb to the top rope and pulls himself up to the top turnbuckle. CHBK starts to slowly get up and Angel jumps back and hits the Martyr Syndrome right on the back of CHBK, driving him back into the mat. The crowd rises to their feet in shock, awe and “Holy Sh*t!” chants start all over the stadium.

 

Dawson: “Oh my God! Damian Angel just snapped the back of CHBK with that backflip double stomp!”

 

Sharper: “CHBK is yelling in pain!”

 

Angel regains his footing and crawls over to CHBK and rolls him onto his back as CHBK continues to wince in obvious discomfort. Angel then covers him.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers as the referee calls for the bell. Angel rolls off of CHBK and just stares up at the lights and the sky for a few moments before sitting up. He then closes his eyes and gets up to his feet. He then turns around and looks down at CHBK as the referee kneel down next to him, checking on him.

 

Johnson: “Damian Angel has destroyed CHBK here tonight!”

 

Dawson: “He may have crippled the man. A double stomp right to the spine!”

 

Sharper: “And just look…that may be the new face of SCW in the very near future!”

 

Angel smirks and then rolls out of the ring, knowing he’s done what he’s wanted to. He walks around the ring and grabs the Adrenaline Championship. He then starts to walk around ringside and over to the ramp. He walks up the rampway to the back as EMTs run down the side of the rampway with a stretcher. Angel looks over and smiles as he then walks up the rampway towards the back. The EMTs meanwhile push the stretcher next to ring. One of the trainers then enters the ring and checks on CHBK.

 

Dawson: “Oh lord….Damian Angel may have been successful.”

 

We then see the Rise to Greatness X logo come up on the screen.

Regan Street vs. Jackson Adams

 

All of a sudden the PA system comes alive with music, the sounds of Break by Three Days grace can be heard pulsing through every speaker in the arena.

"Tonight, my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I’ve tried but nothing is working
I won’t stop
I won’t say I’ve had enough
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight, I break away"

The ringside area grows semi dim as the big screen illuminates. Flashes of a man can be seen doing different wrestling maneuvers to various wrestlers. The words Jackson Adams flicker on the screen, and the lights start to flicker wildly.

"Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way
This place is
Take yourself to higher places"

Adams can be seen on tron making his way through the entrance tunnel. Hooded jacket covering his eyes slightly. As the Chorus hits he steps through the curtains and out onto the ramp, He leans back and screams as he rips the hood from the top of his head. as small golden sparkler type fireworks shower down upon him. He winces a bit. As the Pyros fade Jackson then starts to slowly walk to the ring with a smug look upon his face his walk of determination as if he is ready to take on the world. Jackson Slides into the ring, and with a quick push and hop finds himself on his feet. Jackson tosses his arms out to the side and spins in a circle as the fans boo. Jackson turns and watches the entrance ramp, awaiting his opponent as the song fades to silence.

 

Knots: “Time for this moron’s funeral.”

 

Sharper: “He’s still feeling some of the effects of Katie Steward’s Save the Queen and now he has to face off against a very motivated and pissed off Regan Street.”

 

Knots: “I wonder in how many pieces he’ll be destroyed into.”

 

The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the center of the stage. After a few seconds the screens display a countdown.

NOW!

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Gasoline” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. The beautiful and arrogant Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble. She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with a mix cheers, boos and cat calls no pun intended. Regan looks at the ring before looking at Jackson and scoffing. She then takes a few steps before then rushing down to the ring. She slides in and Jackson Adams goes to cut her off, but Regan tackles him down and starts to nail him with hard forearms as Adams covers up.

 

Sharper: “Here we go! Regan Street just raining down with hard forearms.”

 

Knots: “Oh God! Jackson’s struggling to cover up. This is going to be great.”

 

Sharper: “Regan is fired up and Jackson is already in pain!”

 

Jackson covers up before Regan then gets up and stomps him in the ribs before stomping him in the head and then the ribs again. Jackson rolls over to the ropes and Regan turns and kicks him in the side. He starts to get up and Regan knees him in the ribs before kneeing him again. She then grabs him and throws him into the corner and nails him with a hard forearm and then another and another before Jackson Adams rakes her eyes. She stumbles back and Jackson takes a few moments before Regan turns around and Adams sidesteps her and flips her over the top rope and she falls to the floor. Jackson walks to the middle of the ring as Regan turns and rolls into the ring. She gets up and runs over to Jackson and hits a running inverted bulldog. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Oh! What a move! Just tackling him down again.”

 

Knots: “He thought he bought some time. No dice!”

 

Regan rolls over and gets up. She then hits a leg drop before hitting another and then another. She turns and starts to choke Jackson. The crowd roars and the referee calls for the break. Jackson stomps his feet struggling for air.

Regan lets go and rolls off, snapping at the official. Jackson rolls over and crawls to the ropes. Regan turns and clubs him in the back. She lifts him up and nails him with another forearm before whipping him into the ropes. We see a shot of Brittany Lohan and Typhoid Mary watching before Jackson bounces off the ropes and Regan goes for a clothesline, but Jackson ducks and quickly counters with a hangman’s neckbreaker. The crowd ohs and Jackson takes a moment.

 

Sharper: “Oh! Neckbreaker shuts down Regan Street.”

 

Knots: “Jesus. She just popped off his shoulder.”

 

Sharper: “Beautifully timed and Jackson Adams buys himself some time.”

 

Adams starts to get up as Regan rolls over, holding her head and neck in pain. Lohan is shown again watching and just smiling before Regan gets up and Jackson kicks her in the chest. He then snapmares her over and dropkicks her in the back. Regan rolls over and Jackson turns and grabs her and drags her up before driving her face first into his knee. He then pins her down, before jumping up and kneeing her in the back. Regan winces. Jackson does it again and Regan tries to get free. She rolls over and Jackson goes to grab her, but Regan just hits a kick to the side of the head. Jackson stumbles back as the crowd roars. Regan gets up and runs at him for the Love Tap, but Jackson moves and grabs her from behind and hits a snap back suplex. He goes for the pin.

Regan kicks out. She rolls over and Jackson grabs him and he just jams his fingers into her eyes as the crowd boos. The referee calls for the break.

 

Sharper: “Jackson starting to fight dirty.”

 

Knots: “Just like everyone in the IWC.”

 

Sharper: “Trying to gouge Regan Street’s eyes out. With her riled up she is, that is a smart move right now.”

Jackson pulls away. He smirks as he gets up. He walks around as Regan starts to get up and Jackson walks over and clubs her in the back again. He then grabs her and goes to suplex her over, but she hits a mule kick that the referee doesn’t see. The crowd roars. Adams backs up in pain and Regan turns and kicks him hard in the ribs before then kicking him hard in the face, causing him to fly back. The crowd roars. Jackson Adams starts to stir and Regan runs over and hits a leg sweep STO.

 

Sharper: “Huge STO! Regan Street turning this around and with great efficiency.”

 

Knots: “She’s now back in control and doing so the way she knows. Lohan…you want to light a fire…this is the girl you’re brawling with at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Regan rolls off and looks at Jackson. Jackson rolls over and Regan jumps up and hits a knee drop to the back of his head, dazing him. She then looks out at grabs his arms and looks around before slowly lifting him up. She then places her arm around his head and Jackson tries to get out, but Regan drops him with the CATastrophe. The crowd ohs and Jackson rolls over to his back. Regan goes for the pin, looking straight out.

Regan rolls off of Jackson Adams. She then starts to get up and looks down at him. The referee goes to raise her arm, but she just glares at him. Regan then turns and looks out before slowly exiting the ring. She drops down and just starts to make her way to the back.

 

Sharper: “And this eerie calm coming over Regan Street.”

 

Knots: “She just took someone out. Now…she’s thinking about Lohan.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah, but Lohan…she was waiting. She was smiling. She seems ready.”

 

Knots: “How do you know Regan’s not done sending a message? She’s fired up…a lot of time left before Rise to Greatness…she’s just pissed off the Hellcat too the utmost level!”

 

Regan continues to slowly make her way to the back as the crowd roars. Jackson stirs in the ring as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Regan Street walking through the backstage area. The crowd boos seeing her before we see Jessica Winters running up, trying to catch up to her.

 

Jessica: “Regan! Regan!”

 

Regan: “Just stop…”

 

Jessica stops before she can get to her.

 

Regan: “I’m not going to make a comment, except that come Supreme Saturday…Brittany Lohan…she’s in action, right?”

 

Jessica nods.

 

Regan: “Then you can detail it on Supreme Saturday how I show her not to mess with this Hellcat! The claws have come out!”

 

Regan then storms off as we cut back to ringside.

Tommy Valentine vs. Simon Lyman

 

The arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display a countdown.

NOW!

The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Darkest Of Kin" by Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, hits.

“ALL OF YOU, GO ABOUT YOUR DAY, NEVER TRULY LIVING! WALKING SO CLOSE TO DEATH, LETS ME KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE! IT'S WHERE I FIND MY HIGH. TERROR THIS WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN. LOOK IN MY EYES, SEE WHAT I'VE DONE! ALWAYS ON THE MOVE, HELL COMES ALONG!”

A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing but canvas.

"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!"

A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.

"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - THIS IS THE REAL THING!"

As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverbrates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to start jeering.

The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top of the arena's ramp in a set of shades with a custom logo on the lens, as he looks out into the audience that are now booing loudly, chanting obscenities in some cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands, fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring again.

"BABY I'M BAD, I'M THE FEAR IN YOUR EYES. THAT HATE IN YOUR HEART HAS BEEN BRANDED WITH MY NAME!"

As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high five fans before moving his hand back and smirking, revelling in their distaste and jeers before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making mock beckoning gestures again before sneering to the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas then takes the sunglasses off and hands them to the referee, telling him to keep them safe before waiting for his opponent.

 

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine has to be happy. He’ll be getting his World Tag Team Championship match and we can confirm it now.”

 

The Rise to Greatness logo comes on the screen before showing Hurse & Porno Lad, then the Next Level and then the Cashmere Mafia, before showing SCW World Tag Team Championship and TLC Match.

 

Knots: “Total chaos and I love it.”

 

Sharper: “Mr. D has confirmed it. It will happen and another huge match for Rise to Greatness.”

 

Knots: “And now to find out that Lyman won’t be going to Rise to Greatness as CHBK isn’t going to give him the time of day after Tommy Valentine kicks Lyman’s ass!”

 

The house lights dim as the opening riffs to "Hero" by Skillet begin to scream throughout the arena. On the Jumbotron in the background the words flash in gold, "The Hero That You Need" followed by a video of "Simply Rational" Simon Lyman assaulting various opponents inside of the ring. As the lyrics begin, Simon walks out on stage silently with his wife Trinity Street at his side, paying no attention to the crowd reaction at that moment. Once the refrain hits for the first time Simon stands with with legs spread apart and arms outstretched overhead, gold pyro showers down from the rafters, engulfing the entire length of the stage right behind him, while Trinity watches with a smirk on her face. When the refrain ends the house lights rise as Simon and Trinity walk the aisle confidently, again paying no attention to fans, often talking together while heading for the ring.  While the fans continue to cheer, Simon and Trinity arrive. Now in his corner we see a slight smile on Simon's face in anticipation for his match to begin with Trinity watching from just outside....

 

Sharper: “There’s the big change. Trinity Street accompanying Simon Lyman. This coming after Damian Angel of all people warning him.”

 

Knots: “Well Damian does know CHBK, but come on.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. He makes a great point. And Simon needs to get ready for anything with the wily veteran.”

 

Simon looks to Tommy as Tommy smiles and starts to stretch out. The bell sounds and they circle the ring. They lunge and grapple in the middle of the ring. Lyman quickly grabs the arm and wrenches it. He turns and moves into a hammerlock. Tommy reaches high, then low before elbowing Simon in the jaw. Simon lets go and Tommy runs into the ropes. Lyman shoulders him down. He turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Tommy rolls towards him. Lyman hops over and bounces off the other side. Tommy leapfrogs over. Both run into the ropes and Lyman ducks a Tommy Valentine clothesline attempt. Valentine turns around and Lyman arm drags him over. Tommy gets back up and Lyman hits a hip toss. Tommy gets up and Lyman hits a dropkick and Tommy falls to the floor. He backs up and Trinity just watches him as Lyman watches her and then Tommy. Tommy turns around and looks up at Lyman.

 

Sharper: “Lyman in control here against the former SCW World Champion.”

 

Knots: “A couple of lucky shots.”

 

Sharper: “Lucky shots. He’s been controlling, from wrestling holds, to just outquicking him early.”

 

Tommy walks around the ring. (1) He then hops onto the apron and looks at Lyman. Lyman backs up and Tommy slowly enters the ring. He then lunges forward and takes Lyman down with a single leg takedown. He then goes to a figure four, but Lyman pushes him off. Tommy bounces off the ropes and Lyman gets up and elbows him in the jaw. He turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and Tommy nails him with a European uppercut. The crowd boos. He hits another European uppercut and then grabs Lyman and throws him face first into the top turnbuckle. Tommy then kicks him in the ribs before nailing him with a hard forearm. He fires him across. Tommy runs after him. Lyman gets his boot up. Tommy stumbles back and Lyman runs after him, but Tommy scoops him up and powerslams him down before going for the pin.

Lyman kicks out. He rolls over and Tommy gets and stomps him in the ribs.

 

Sharper: “Powerslam gets the nearfall, but not enough to keep Lyman down.”

 

Knots: “But he is right back on him. The sign of a wrestler who knows what they’re doing!”

 

Tommy stomps him again and Lyman rolls over. He starts to stir and Tommy grabs him and pulls him away from the ropes and hits a snap back suplex. He goes for another pin attempt.

Lyman kicks out. He sits up and Tommy gets up and stomps him in the back. Lyman rolls over. Tommy grabs him and lifts him up. He then kicks him in the ribs and fires him into the ropes. Lyman bounces off the ropes and Tommy goes for a clothesline. Lyman ducks. He bounces off the other side and hits a dropkick to Tommy’s knees. He starts to get up and Lyman runs into the ropes and bounces off before hitting a running knee lift. Tommy hits the mat and Lyman goes for the pin.

Tommy kicks out. Both men get up and Lyman hoists him up and hits a spinebuster. He then goes for another pin.

Sharper: “Nearfall! Tommy just getting his shoulder up!”

 

Knots: “Just lulling him-“

 

Sharper: “He’s then doing a great job of getting his ass kicked right now!”

 

Knots: “Oh please! It’s strategy!”

 

Sharper: “Well he better turn it around. Lyman just needs to hit that Leading the Revolution-“

 

Knots: “It’s a CHBK copy too! Seriously!”

 

Tommy rolls over and Simon grabs him. He lifts him up and kicks him in the ribs. He then places his head between his legs. He hoists him up for a powerbomb, but Tommy slides down. He then jumps up and hits a front dropkick. Simon falls back. He starts to get up and Tommy kicks him in the ribs. He then places his head between his legs and lifts him up before spiking him with the Prickly Heat. The crowd ohs and boos. Tommy Valentine rolls over and hooks the leg.

Lyman gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and the crowd then boos more as we see CHBK and Ravyn Taylor walk out from the back. They slowly start to saunter down to the ring as Trinity notices them. Simon rolls over and Tommy grabs him and lifts him up before elbowing him in the back of the head. Simon stumbles over to the corner.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute.”

 

Knots: “What? He’s just coming to watch.”

 

Sharper: “I doubt that.”

 

Knots: “Always worrying.”

 

Sharper: “Lyman doesn’t even know. He’s still trying to get his bearings after that piledriver. Trinity knows though.”

 

Knots: “Well everyone says she’s tough, she can try something stupid!”

 

Simon gets up in the corner and Tommy nails him with a forearm and then another. He then grabs him and Simon notices CHBK. Simon elbows Tommy in the side of the head and then again before Tommy falls over. Simon turns and throws him down with a mat slam. He then turns around as CHBK and Ravyn start to walk around the ring, clearly heading towards Trinity. Lyman turn and goes to the ropes. CHBK just chirps at him.

 

CHBK: “Hey! Focus on the match! You’re supposed to be good at this wrestling thing!”

 

Lyman swipes at him. Ravyn meanwhile continues to Trinity. Trinity just waits for her as Ravyn smiles before then going to grab her. Lyman turns away and just then Tommy spins him around and drops him with the Griever’s Bane. The crowd ohs and boos. Trinity turns an grabs Ravyn and throws her into the announce table, but this just gives CHBK the chance to grab her and locks in the Katahatjme. Trinity struggles, but CHBK then drives her face first into the ringpost, dazing her before then holding onto the hold and leaning against the announce table. Ravyn starts to get up as Tommy goes for the pin.

Tommy gets up and looks at CHBK. CHBK just nods as Ravyn gets up. Trinity struggles a bit, but clearly starts to fade as a result of the hold. Ravyn grabs a microphone as Tommy rolls out of the ring and jogs to the back.

 

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine winning, thanks to a huge distraction and now he’s just getting out of dodge?”

 

Knots: “I think CHBK has a plan here. Simon Lyman should’ve just said yes!”

 

Sharper: “Trinity Street is unconscious right now. CHBK taking her out by driving her into the ringpost and that Katahajme.”

 

Knots: “And time for Simon Lyman to figure out how the game is played!”

 

Lyman rolls over as CHBK keeps the hold on and Ravyn holds the microphone next to CHBK.

 

CHBK: “Okay Simon…wakey-wakey. Time for you to make the correct decision.”

 

Simon rolls over in pain. CHBK rolls his eyes.

 

CHBK: “Come on. Your wife is on the line here!”

 

The crowd boos more as Simon rolls over.

 

Sharper: “Where is the Cashmere Mafia? You’d think they’d be out here to help Trinity!”

 

CHBK: “Well I’m just going to start and if you miss the important parts, you better hope someone in this area is going to take notes. Your wife certainly won’t. She’s a bit relaxed at the moment. Must be my calming aura.”

 

Sharper: “Oh come on…”

 

The crowd boos.

 

CHBK: “See Simon, I gave you a decision. A decision you chose to decline and that’s fine. You were in your right to do it, but then you gave me one…and that Simon, I think you misunderstand where you are. This isn’t whatever swamp you and your wife came out of. This is SCW. This is where I rule and have ruled for ten damn years.”

 

The crowd roars, before some boo.

 

CHBK: “And Simon, there’s a problem with your challenge. If I say no, you’re going to sit on the sidelines and probably whine, moan, bitch and complain that I’m not a man. If you say no, well, I just go backstage and say I want to face someone at Rise to Greatness and I have a list of people DYING to get the opportunity to stand across the ring from me on the biggest event. I am the Epitome of SCW and I always have been and that’s worth more than ANYTHING you and your wife here could create, even training a champion in Regan Street!”

 

The crowd boos as Simon rolls over and sees CHBK holding his wife, who is  out, still in the Katahajme, but much looser.

 

CHBK: “Don’t worry Simon…I’ve loosened the hold. She should be able to still speak without drooling. But I’d stay there because I’m going to make this simple…at this point, you may be wondering why I care about YOU so much if I know I can face anyone. That’s simple. You tried to play my game…and I’m a very competitive person. Ask Ravyn. We play games, mind games, all the time. But you tried to be a hero…heh….ironic, eh…didn’t want to speak for your wife. Well she can’t talk now and I’m going to make this simple. If you give the wrong answer, I’ll make sure she’s not coming out to the ring for while and maybe, if I’m nice, I’ll let her have a nice life at home with you, when she can’t be cleared to be at ringside ever again. Trust me…I know how to do it…and I’ve done it to a lot bigger and better.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

CHBK: “So let’s try this again…You and I at Rise to Greatness…you lose, I get an evening with your wife. Ravyn and I have been thinking about this for a while…we don’t like our planning to go to waste.”

 

Just then Ravyn pulls the microphone away and CHBK looks up.

 

Ravyn: “You know, I think I can make this a bit easier for you Simon as I can tell that you’re conflicted like most men who haven’t a clue how to deal with the women they’ve married.”

 

The crowd ohs.

 

Ravyn: “So Simon, if someone you manage to get it together and beat CHBK on the grandest stage…you can have me for an evening. I’ll even let Trinity take part too.”

 

The crowd roars as Simon just looks at them. Ravyn smirks as CHBK looks at her and almost says “You sure?” Ravyn says something back before pointing the microphone back at CHBK.

 

CHBK: “So Simon…injured wife…or the match….”

 

Simon just looks down and glares at CHBK. CHBK just smirks.

 

CHBK: “I thought so. See you in eighteen days.”

 

The crowd boos as CHBK shoves Trinity off of him and gets up. Ravyn tosses the microphone down and CHBK and her start to walk around the ring. Simon drops down to the floor to check on Trinity as the crowd boos. CHBK and Ravyn continue on their way to the back.

 

Sharper: “Unbelieveable. Just sickening.”

 

Knots: “Simon Lyman knew he had no choice and CHBK is doing him a favour. Maybe she’ll be less strict and furthermore, Simon now may have more than just the fanboys know who he is. He’s facing one of the greatest wrestlers in history!”

 

CHBK and Ravyn continue up the rampway before we cut backstage and we see the Next Level standing in the tunnel, security in front of them. The Cashmere Mafia trying to get past. CHBK and Ravyn come down the stairs and Helms turns.

 

CHBK: “All done.”

 

Helms: “Alright…thanks for the company, dolls…and well…sorry.”

 

Helms and Tommy walk past them as security keeps holding Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan back as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We see a shot of the Rise to Greatness logo come up on the screen before we see the following:

 

“Rise to Greatness

 

Toronto, Ontario

 

18 Days Away!”

 

This stays on the screen for a few moments before we cut back to Breakdown.

We return to the ring. The lights go out and as Korn's haunting "Open Up" begins, white strobe lights do as well. Once the chorus kick in the first time, Dylan Howell appears at the top of the ramp. The crowd boos seeing him as he starts to make his way down to the ring. He looks around and smiles as the boos continue.

 

Knots: “There’s a man that stands up for something.”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure he does. He wants to ensure Regan Street is the World Champion. That’s great and all, but he’s attacked Matt Hodges and he’d made clear he’d cost anyone else their shot too!”

 

Howell walks down to the ring and up the steel steps. He then enters the ring and looks around before being handed a microphone. He takes it and walks over to the middle of the ring. He looks around as his music fades out. He then smirks before starting.

 

Howell: “I sense that I have done something to tick you all off. But then you forget that I don’t really care. See a few weeks ago, I came back to this ring at Taking Hold of the Flame and I actually was cheered. I stood up to Blitzkrieg…and was cheered!”

 

The crowd boos him.

 

Knots: “He’s right!”

 

Howell: “But then the moment that I stand for what is right…what is owed to my blood….what is owed to Regan Street, ripped away from her by Brittany Lohan, I now have all of you whining, moaning, complaining and yelling that I am a no good bastard!”

 

The crowd boos some more. Howell just scoffs.

 

Howell: “But please, tell me how Matt Hodges deserves a shot at the World Championship more than Regan Street? Tell me. Please! Someone come to me and give me one reason. Because he’s a former World Champion? Because he’s main evented Rise to Greatness before? Or because he and Michael Jay St. Claire were going to face each other a bunch of months ago and that was the last time we saw him. Oh wait…it was because we were in his hometown! That’s why. That’s how decisions are made around here. We wait until it’s someone’s hometown and BAM! Title shot. Shilo’s hometown is Toronto…maybe there’s something more here….don’t worry…even I’m not that dense.”

 

Howell pauses.

 

Howell: “But see, I meant it when I was asked on Supreme Saturday to explain what I did. Every title match until Regan Street gets what she DESERVES! She’s EARNED that title shot…I will be there to ensure that no one else takes that moment from her. Sorry, Syren, I know you’re a fighting champion, but the fact is that you know as well as I do that Regan Street should be facing you at Rise to Greatness and had Lohan not gotten involved that would’ve been the case. I didn’t think you needed to be tested…but that’s the games that are being played-“

 

“Sink” by Brand New starts to play and the crowd cheers as we then see Matt Hodges walk out from the back, wearing his green military coat and red desert scarf. He looks down at the ring before we see a young man walk out with him. The man stands next to Hodges and Hodges just looks down at the ring before Hodges starts to walk down. Howell looks confused.

 

Sharper: “Matt Hodges on his way out…but who is that with him?”

 

Knots: “Wait! Someone you don’t know?!”

 

Hodges continues to walk to the ring and then reaches it and grabs the ropes and pulls himself up onto the apron. The man with Hodges stops at ringside. Hodges enters the ring. He then looks at Howell as Howell turns to him.

 

Howell: “So…you want to stand up about what I did two weeks ago. You know you had no business there!”

 

Hodges doesn’t pull down his cowl or change anything. He just looks at Howell. Howell continues to look at Hodges, showing a bit of hesitancy before suddenly Hodges nails him with a punch to the throat. Howell falls back and Hodges then kicks him in the back before nailing him with a series of blows and Howell rolls to the floor. He drops back and falls to the announce table as Hodges slowly pulls himself up and looks at him. Howell turns and gets up before walking around the ring. He then stumbles around before passing the man who came with Hodges. The man just looks at Howell and laughs at him. Howell glares at him as Hodges turns and looks at him. Howell backs away.

 

Sharper: “Matt Hodges retaliating. Not saying a word, but attacking Howell.”

 

Knots: “He punched him in the throat!”

 

Sharper: “And that man with Hodges, he’s laughing! What is going on?!”

 

Howell backs away as the crowd cheers for Hodges as “Sink” plays throughout the arena. The camera focuses on Hodges as the man enters the ring and joins him.

“Rescue Me” starts to play and we then see a shot of Jake Starr walking down the hallway. The crowd cheers seeing him.

 

Sharper: “When we return, Jake Starr, he is going to be in action and he’s going to take on the undefeated Mr. Lament! Lament’s biggest match to this date! Is he ready? We’ll find out next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Hall of Fame” by The Script featuring will.i.am plays as we see a shot of the SCW Hall of Fame logo. We then see a shot of the Supreme Saturday logo.

 

Sharper: “Ladies and gentlemen, as part of the festivities that will be taking place all weekend long in Toronto for our tenth Rise to Greatness weekend, we will be inducting several new individuals into the SCW Hall of Fame. That ceremony will take place live on Saturday, July 27 right after a special two hour Rise to Greatness preview special that will see all of the contendership match.. A big weekend of events. But next Saturday, on Supreme Saturday, we are going to reveal this year’s inductees.”

 

Knots: “Only a select few have been inducted into the SCW Hall of Fame. A few more are going to get have their place immortalized.”

 

Sharper: “On the night before Rise to Greatness! Supreme Saturday, find out who will part of the Class of 2013.”

 

The logos remain on the screen for a few moments longer before we return to a live shot.

Jake Starr vs. Mr. Lament

 

Cry Like A Ghost by Passion Pit hits the arena and out walks Mr. Lament onto the ramp, dressed his black tights and what appears to be a Bronze chest plate. He looks around to a modest pop but you wouldn't know it by the way he seems to soak it in. After basking in the mild applause, he begins his electrified trot to the ring. Behind him walks Front Desk Clerk, his mildly attractive valet. He walks up the steel steps of the ring and climbs over the top. He removes his armor and slides it out of the ring.

 

Sharper: “This is another big match for this young man. He’s still technically undefeated as Jake Starr ruined his match against Greg Cherry.”

 

Knots: “Ruined is a great word. He ran in with a chair and attacked everyone including that poor man right there.”

 

Sharper: “Wrong place. Wrong time.”

 

Knots: “So!”

 

The lights in the arena slowly dim, culminating in a sea of darkness. A male voice is heard over the PA system. His diction is firm, and fierce, as if trying to "rally the troops," or give a "pep talk" to someone, and his message is clear...

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend!

After he finishes, there is a massive explosion of pyro from the stage. "Uprising" by Muse begins to emanate from the speaker system, and laser beams begin to fire around the arena. As the song reaches the opening verse, two spotlights drop onto the entry way where Jake Starr stands, back to the crowd, head looking down, and his fist pointed straight to the heavens. His arm is tense and shaking. He slowly turns his fist so it's now pointing "backward," and as he lowers it down, bending at the elbow, he spins his body around, and trusts his fist forward, directed straight toward the ring, to a huge roar from the audience.

Along with the thrusting of his arm, he begins walking toward the ring. His path is slow and steady, pausing several times to take in to account the fans holding their hands up as a sign they stand behind the Social Misfit cause. As the second chorus kicks in, Jake reaches the apron of the ring.

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
So come on

As the chorus plays, Jake climbs up onto the apron. He looks in all four directions, including behind him. As the chorus ends, and the "Hey" chants come over the loud speaker, the crowd is illuminated by bright white lights, and with each chant, thrust their fists skyward. Several fans have signs in the shape of the infamous "Misfit Revolution" fist.

Jake nods, and with one final show of leadership to the "followers" of the Social Misfit cause, he thrusts his fists skyward one last time, which ignites one final explosion of pyro from each of the four ring posts.

He then walks over to the turnbuckle and climbs up onto the second turnbuckle of one of the corners, and mouths the words, "You're looking at the best in the world," and then points out to the crowd saying, "Nobody will stop me... Not in MY HOUSE!" Jake then raises his fist in the air again, pointing at it, and screams, "THIS IS WHO I AM!"

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr looks ready to go. And he’s only two and a half weeks away from getting his hands on Greg Cherry at Rise to Greatness X.”

 

Knots: “That should be the other way around and then we should add that Greg Cherry is going to show Jake Starr the way things really are. He gets destroyed and people forget about him!”

 

The bell sounds and Starr walks around the ring. Lament then looks at him and takes a deep breath before walking around the ring. He then stands in the middle of the ring and turns to Jake. He starts to yell at him almost as Jake smirks. Lament continues to berate Starr before Starr just tells him to calm down. Lament just looks down before taking a deep breath. He then nails Starr with a hard right. Starr turns away. Lament looks at him. He then takes another deep breath, but Starr nails him with a hard right and then another and another and another. Lament stumbles back to the corner and Starr starts to kick away at his ribs. Lament covers up in the corner as the referee calls for the break.

Starr backs away. Lament continues to cover up in the corner.

 

Knots: “Come on! Don’t cover up! Hit him now! While he’s backing up!”

 

Sharper: “Lament clearly trying to work up the courage. He knows the seriousness of this match.”

 

Knots: “Yeah. He beats Jake Starr and he’s a damn star!”

 

Lament then starts to walk out of the corner and Starr nails him with a kick to the ribs. He then hits a snap suplex. He grabs Lament and sits him up before kicking him in the back. Lament yells in pain and the crowd roars a bit. Lament rolls over and Starr grabs him. He clubs him in the back before clubbing him again. He then spins him around and hits another snap suplex. He then floats over into a pin.

Lament kicks out again. He rolls over and to the ropes as Front Desk Clerk cheers him on.

 

Sharper: “Starr right now just taking advantage of that timidness.”

 

Knots: “Come on man! This is your big time! Get it done!”

 

Lament starts to get up and Starr grabs him. He spins him around and chops him in the chest. The crowd woos. He chops him again. More woos. He then whips him into the ropes. Lament however spins through and sends Starr in. Starr bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Lament ducks. Starr turns around and Lament nails him with a hard right before a shot to the ribs and then a kick to the ribs. He jumps up and elbows Starr in the back of the head. Starr staggers to the ropes. Lament nails him with a hard right before turning and whipping him into the ropes. Starr bounces off and Lament runs at him, jumps up and drills him with a crossbody on the rebound.

Starr kicks out. Both get up and Starr quickly hits an inverted atomic drop to shut down Lament. Lament falls to his knees. Starr then grabs him and scoops him up onto his shoulders, but Lament slides down and shoves Starr into the ropes chest first. Lament then cuffs him with a clothesline to the back of the head, knocking Starr down.

 

Sharper: “My God! What a clothesline!”

 

Knots: “Yes! Again! Again!”

 

Sharper: “Starr dazed from that blow. Lament has him down. He may have an opening here! Lament showing some heart!”

 

Lament starts to get up and he turns and stomps Starr in the back before dropping down to his knees and just hammering away at Starr’s back. Starr rolls over and Lament goes for the pin.

He bounces off and Starr drills him with a spinning heel kick. Lament hits the mat and pops up before Starr jumps up and hits a hurricanrana, taking him down.

 

Knots: “Ah damn!”

 

Sharper: “Starr keeping his cool. That spinning heel kick and then the hurricanrana doing it all to keep Lament down and turn this around.”

 

Lament slowly gets up and turns to Starr and Starr kicks him in the chest. He pops up and Lament falls to the ropes. Starr grabs him and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Lament spins through and pulls him into a knee. He then grabs Starr by the head, but Starr counters with a back drop. Lament gets back up and Starr jumps up and hits a standing enziguri. Lament hits the mat and Starr turns and exits to the apron. The crowd roars as he then springboards to the top rope and hits the shooting five star frog splash. The crowd cheers and Lament rolls to his side from the impact. Starr forces him back down for the pin.

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers and Starr rolls off. He then gets up as his music starts to play.

 

Knots: “If the kid wasn’t so damn gun shy. It’s only Jake Starr. His ego is scarier than anything!”

 

Sharper: “Lament had a hell of a flurry in there, but the experience and calmness of Jake Starr prevails as he ends the kids unbeaten streak!”

 

Lament rolls over in pain as Starr gets up and goes to the corner and plays to the crowd.

 

"I WANNA STAND ALONE"

The image of Greg Cherry flashes on the SCW-tron as "Justice" by Rev Theory plays over the PA speakers. The crowd immediately starts to boo. Greg steps out from behind the curtain and walks to the top of the stage and stares out into the crowd who just boos louder. Jake turns to the entrance way as Greg Cherry stands at the top with the microphone in his hand.

 

Cherry: “Jake….Congratulations! It’s amazing what one can accomplish when they don’t have a chair wielding maniac coming after them. But Jake…don’t think I’m out here to just make that simple point. Because Jake, I have been thinking for a while and I think you need to realize something. The fans aren’t going to help you…and you’ve learned the Board of Directors won’t help you. I sure as hell doubt that Mr. D gives a damn about you, at least until you’re pissing someone off again. But Jake…you turned your back one of your only real friends in this business. Just because you didn’t have enough time to give a dam about me…the funny part…that’s always going to come and bite you in the ass!”

 

Greg then brings the microphone down before suddenly, the crowd roars and we see Jack Campbell and Eddie Parker slide into the ring. Jack Campbell clubs Jake in the back and Jake stumbles forward as Eddie Parker kicks him in the ribs. Jack nails him with a hard right and Jake falls back to the corner. Jack starts to nail him with shoulder thrusts in the corner. Jake however nails Eddie with hard right.

 

Sharper: “Eddie Parker! Jack Campbell! That’s the Pit Crew!”

 

Knots: “Holy crap!”

 

Sharper: “They’re attacking Jake Starr. Starr is trying to fight them off!”

 

Knots: “And Jake has no one to help him!”

 

Eddie stumbles back and turns back and eats another hard right. Jack gets back and nails Starr with a hard right, but he knees him in the ribs and Eddie nails him with a hard right then. Jack then nails him too and Eddie kicks him in the ribs before Jack starts to choke him. Jake tries to push them off as Greg Cherry smiles as he walks to the ring. Jack then kicks him in the ribs and again before Eddie grabs him and they pull him out and both hit a double bulldog. The crowd boos and a “Jake Starr!” chant begins to break out. Greg hops onto the apron and Jack and Eddie grab Jake and knee him in the side of the head. He drops and the crowd boos some more. Jack then grabs him in a gutwrench and Eddie the same. They hoist him up before then dropping him down with a double powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Jake Starr lies on the canvas. Greg Cherry enters the ring and looks over at Jake.

 

Sharper: “My God, what a powerbomb.”

 

Knots: “Here lies Jake Starr!”

 

Greg stands over him and brings out the microphone again.

 

Cherry: “At Rise to Greatness…they’re going to be in my corner. It’s good to have friends in times like this.”

 

Cherry drops the microphone next to Jake as the crowd boos. Cherry then stands over him, holding up Jack and Eddie’s arms as they look around. Cherry’s music plays again and the crowd boos some more. Jake Starr remains down.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. Changing the game further and even more into his favour!”

 

Knots: “Biggest show in SCW History…he’s going for broke. He’s making sure Jake Starr gets his ass handed to him on the big stage!”

 

The crowd continues to boo as the cameras continue to show them standing in the ring before the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Greg Cherry walking with Jack Campbell and Eddie Parker. They leave the arena before walking over to one of the cars in the back. Eddie gets in the driver’s seat. Jack and Greg get into the passenger’s seats. The car is turned on and then backed out of the spot before driving away.

 

Sharper: “There you see the Pit Crew driving off. Leaving the arena as I’m sure Jake Starr when he recovers will be none too pleased.”

 

Knots: “Smart…a perfect hit and run!”

Joss Morrison vs. William Mason

Street Fight

 

"Evolution, Entering a New World" hit the PA system as the fans begin to cheer. Joss Morrison soon walks out to the entrance ramp with Allison Ford. Morrison's sporting a black trenchcoat with the Mustang emblem on the back and a red mask with designs on the front with his wine bottle in his head and in the other hand he has a large machete like item. Morrison takes a swig and lets some it drips from the mouth of his mask onto his chest. Morrison instantly starts walking down the ramp

We feel the power flowing through us
Why are we so scared? We're not alone
Free your emotions and scream from your heart
It rouses now feel that you're alive

Joss walks down the ramp continuing to drink the wine and spitting it out on a few occasions with the machete in his hands. Allison follows suit but carefully does as Joss soon taps the nearby camera lens before making a throat slash gesture.

Phillips: Accompanied to the ring by Allison Ford, from Columbus, Ohio weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds, he is the self proclaimed "King of the Underground", Joss "Mustang" Morrison!

Joss quickly jumps on the apron and then ascends the turnbuckle and removes his mask, gaining cheers from the fans. Allison stays on the outside as Morrison stares at the crowd before jumping off. Allison says on the outside while Joss soon actually put the machete in his mouth and grits his teeth. The ref tries to tell Joss to get rid of the weapon Joss snaps at him and yells "I'm killing Blake tonight!" Joss eventually does take the machete out of his mouth before taking another long swig of his wine and spits it back out with a smile on his face. He takes his machete and his points it directly towards the entrance way as he awaits for his opponent.

 

Sharper: “Third match, and there will be a winner here. Both times, a chair has come into play and has led to someone being laid out.”

 

Knots: “And Mason is getting pissed off. And I bet we’re going to see another chair in this one.”

 

Sharper: “Plus you have to wonder what he’s thinking given that Kelcey Wallace has been dealing with Blitzkrieg. Mason wanted her to have his spot in the match.”

 

Knots: “If he’s that stupid, then well…he’s that stupid!”

 

Shinedown's "Diamond Eyes (Boom Lay Boom Lay Boom) plays as William Mason walks through the curtain. He stands at the top of the ramp. He takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the audience. He throws his arms in the air like he's releasing the doves. He walks down to the ring, a smile written across his face, the sign is lifted back to the ceiling as he slides under the bottom rope. Morrison goes over and nails Mason with a hard right. Mason fires back with another shot and Morrison nails him again before nailing him with a hard kick to the ribs before grabbing him. Mason grabs Morrison and both fall through the ropes and go to the floor.

 

Sharper: “ And this match kicking off quickly here. Morrison going right after Mason!”

 

Knots: “Mason wanted the match and he’s giving the annoying little chipmunk what he wants!”

 

Mason and Morrison get up on the floor and Morrison jumps up and hits a dropkick. The crowd ohs as Morrison hits with a thud and then rolls over. Mason falls to the ring steps. Morrison then turns and runs at Mason before jumping up for a high knee, but Mason ducks and Morrison’s foot catches the top half of the steel steps and he flips over and into the mats. The crowd ohs and Mason turns and backs away from the steel steps. Morrison gets up and Mason runs over and jumps off the top half of the steps and dives onto the back of Morrison. Morrison falls over and down to the floor. Mason then gets up and grabs Morrison and lifts him up before nailing him with a shot to the ribs. He then hooks him up and hits a vertical suplex on the floor. Morrison rolls over, kicking his legs and Mason gets up before walking around the ring.

 

Sharper: “Morrison in a lot of pain as Mason practically has taken firm control at this point.”

 

Knots: “Morrison decided to be stupid early. It cost him. It’s funny, because that’s how it usually happens with him.”

 

Sharper: “I wouldn’t say that!”

 

Knots: “And that’s why you’d be wrong.”

 

Mason looks under the ring and grabs a trash can. He lifts it up and the crowd roars a bit. Morrison starts to get up and Mason nails him in the back. Morrison falls over to the barricade. Mason then turns and drives the end into the ribs. Morrison staggers to the announce table. Mason tosses the trash can into the ring before he turns and grabs a steel chair, forcing the timekeeper to flee. He then turns around and Morrison suddenly hits a boot to the chair, knocking it back into Mason’s face. The crowd ohs. Mason rolls over. Morrison then grabs the chair and drags it up. He smiles before bringing it down across the back of Mason. The crowd ohs and Mason rolls over in pain. Morrison then lifts it up and brings it down across his chest as the crowd ohs again.

 

Knots: “There you go. Knock all that perfection out of him!”

 

Sharper: “Into the ribs and chest. You can hurt your fingers, your hands. No good way to protect that!”

 

Morrison tosses the chair into the ring before grabbing Mason and lifting him up. He then rolls him into the ring. Morrison turns and grabs another chair and Jason Phillips gets out of the way. Morrison rolls into the ring with it and Mason starts to get up and Morrison drives the chair into Mason’s back. The crowd boos a bit and Morrison goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Mason kicks out. Morrison gets up and grabs the second chair and places it in between the top and middle turnbuckle. He turns around and walks over to Mason. He lifts him up and nails him with a hard right and then another before grabbing Mason and running him across, but Mason spins through and sends Morrison hard face first into the chair, causing it to fly down to the floor. The crowd ohs. Morrison remains in the corner and Mason walks around before grabbing Morrison. He then lifts him out and hits a back suplex. The crowd ohs and Mason bridges up.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Morrison kicks out.

 

Sharper: “Nearfall! Morrison suplexed after going face first into that chair!”

 

Knots: “Using his head, the old fashioned way. It’s shocking because Morrison never does!”

 

Mason turns and grabs Morrison and elbows him in the back of the head before elbowing him again. He then hits a Russian leg sweep. Mason rolls over and then grabs the first chair. He unfolds it as the crowd cheers and Mason places it down. He then grabs Morrison and lifts him up. He whips him into the ropes and Morrison bounces off. Mason goes for a drop toe hold, but Morrison hops over and stops. Mason sits up and Morrison kicks him in the side of the head. He then grabs Mason and drives him face first into the seat of the chair. Mason pops up and Morrison jumps up and hits a neckbreaker. He then looks around before smiling and pointing at the chair. He then grabs Mason and lifts him up and starts to set up for the OMEGA Death Driver into the opened chair!

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Morrison is looking to drive Mason head first through the chair!”

 

Knots: “Hot damn! If he succeeds, I may add him to my Christmas card list!”

 

Sharper: “OMEGA Death Driver could be coming!”

 

Mason struggles as Morrison tries to lift him up. Mason blocks it. He then manages to get free enough to elbow Morrison repeatedly in the face. Morrison stumbles back. Mason then runs into the ropes. He then jumps up and hits a flying clothesline, driving Morrison down into the seat of the chair. The crowd ohs and Morrison rolls over. Mason then gets up and Morrison gets his feet only for Mason to place his head between his legs. He then turns and hits a Perfect Driver. The crowd cheers. Mason then rolls over and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers as Mason rolls off of Morrison. He yells at him a bit before getting up and having his arm raised. The crowd cheers him as Mason yells at bit more at Morrison.

 

Sharper: “Mason wins it with some perfection to add to it! And now, can he move on and make good on his US Championship contendership opportunity?”

 

Knots: “Mr. Douche told him to move on. Here’s the moment for him to show it. Or blow it…”

 

Mason continues to stand in the ring, looking at Morrison, enjoying his victory before we go backstage.

Backstage we see Holly Adams standing backstage by a monitor as Marisa Condolesa comes up to her.

 

Marisa: “Holly…can I get a word?”

 

Holly: “But of course. Have to give people more blonde in their life.”

 

Marisa: “Well I am wondering why we haven’t seen you come out to the ring since last Breakdown. You came out during the Justin Davis/John Morrw match and since then, you’ve been really quiet, outside of Twitter.”

 

Holly: “That’s because last time I came out to the ring, Justin Davis got a win. I mean, hello, that’s horrible for business. So I’m now just watching my clients from back here.”

 

Marisa: “Clients?”

 

Holly: “Prospective…seeing who may need some more blonde in their lives to make sure they can get to that next level…but not people like Morrow or Davis…God no…not them. They don’t and shouldn’t deserve someone like me leading them to greatness. So I’m going to bide my time and when you see me next…a decision may be mad-“

 

Just then, Holly is drilled from behind by something and we then see Tatum McGraw and with her Rachel Foxx. Blitzkrieg and Aiken are seen standing a bit away. Tatum then grabs Holly and lifts her up.

 

Tatum: “Awww…did I smear your make-up…pathetic bitch…”

 

Tatum then throws her face first into the concrete wall and Rachel just laughs.

 

Aiken: “Done?”

 

Tatum: “All done.”

 

Aiken: “Good…”

 

Aiken smiles as Tatum and Rachel turn and return to them. Marisa drops down to check on Holly.

 

Sharper: “My God…”

 

Marisa: “Someone get some help!”

 

The scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore starts to play as we see a shot of Steve Griffin hitting the top rope Decimator on CHBK before showing a shot of Shilo Valiant celebrating at the end of the night with the World Championship and then showing Jamal Evans being thrown off the scaffold during a scaffold scramble match.

 

“SCW presents your Rise to Greatness Recall!”

 

We go back to Rise to Greatness 2013. We see Jake Starr walking on his way to the back as his music plays, having just defeated Thirteen to become the SCW Adrenaline Champion. Just then, his music cuts out and Thirteen starts to stir in the ring. The entrance lights go out before we hear the sound of church bells ringing out and the video screen forms to just show the number “7-2012” on the screen. The numbers then move to show:

7th Book: Judges
Chapter 20
Verse 12

As the words spell out of the verse, a dark voice is heard reading them.

“And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying…

What wickedness is this that is done among you?”

The eerie sound of the bells ring louder as the music of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” by Metallica is heard. We see Jake Starr confused as Thirteen slowly pulls himself up in the ring. As the music plays, the dark screen transforms into the images of a battlefield, a kingdom, a village, a cemetery all burning, covered with flames that lick at every surface available. The sounds of screaming are heard from those that suffer, though nothing can be seen amidst the darkness. This eerie imagery is suddenly stopped as the voice is heard again.

“Behold him…The Fallen Prince”

The bells sing once more in eerie music as a spotlight is shown on the rampway, revealing a hooded figure.


“For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time marches on!
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time marches on!”

Upon the last line, there is one more ring of the bells before all goes black once more, the audience shouting in guesswork over what has occurred, until a voice answers them.

“Salvation…Damnation…one thing in common. One must die to find either one…”

There is a loud blast of music as the lights flash on in spotlight back to the same spot the figure stood as “Tragic Prince” by Michiru Yamane plays across the PA system. The hood has been removed from the figure as Christian Savior stands at the top of the entrance way. Jake Starr just looks at him. Christian Savior looks at the title on his shoulder before then walking right past him and then running down to the ring. The crowd erupts in cheers.

Knots: “No way!”

 

Sharper: “Christian Savior! He’s back! He’s back!”

 

Knots: “This night’s getting worse for Thirteen!”

 

Christian Savior runs all the way down the rampway and past some of the ladders in the way before sliding into the ring. The official backs up and Thirteen steps towards him only to get nailed with the most ungodly of Spears of Destiny. The crowd roars as Thirteen rolls over, holding his ribs in immense pain. Christian Savior then gets up and looks down at Thirteen fuming. The crowd continues to roar. Starr smirks at the top of the entrance way before walking to the back. Christian Savior continues to stand over Thirteen.

 

Sharper: “My God, what a spear!”

 

Knots: “Thirteen is in two!”

 

Sharper: “You’re right. Tonight is definitely not his night! Not at all!”

 

Savior just looks at Thirteen as he remains down in immense pain. The official tries to get in front of him and Savior just continues to look at him as the crowd continues to cheer.

 

We then see the Rise to Greatness X logo come up on the screen.

We return with a live shot of the arena.

 

"You think you know me?"

"I AM FALLEN!"

The fans jump to their feet as the opening notes of "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge play loudly. On the screen plays the words spoken "I am fallen" until a light shatters them, the glowing, angelic figure of Rose Savior appearing in a white light as the fog grows from the entryway on the stage. As the music plays, the words reform into their true message:

"Ex Cineribus Resurgam"

"On this day, I see clearly!
Everything has come to life.
Bitter place in a broken dream and I leave it all behind
Not a chance to chase a dream.
Not a chase to feel ALIVE!!"

The fans in the stands are up in cheers as from the growing mist of fog walks out The Rising Phoenix, Christian Savior. The big screen alternates between images of Rose Savior in her angelic light and white dress and segments of Savior spearing an opponent, holding up a title, or merely of him smirking and grinning from his victories. As the Fallen Prince down the ramp, he looks around with a slight grin on his face, stopping mid-way down the ramp. The fans wait with baited breath before Savior suddenly throws his arms in the air, a series of fire red and orange fireworks shooting behind him back up the ramp where an explosion if fireworks of the same colors shoot in all directions, the rising symbolism evident. As the pyro show dies away, Savior rushes to the ring, sliding in, his eyes still on the audience around him before he jumps to his feet and over to the turnbuckle. As the music continues to play with the video, The Supreme Champion holds his hand out to the audience, the same style as he uses when motioning for a certain move. As he grins wickedly at the audience, they immediately begin shouting out in unison "Spear! Spear! Spear!" which brightens the smirk on Christian's face as he hops off the turnbuckle.

 

Sharper: “We just saw last year’s Rise to Greatness in our second Rise to Greatness recall of the night. Savior coming out to the ring and you have to think he is coming out to talk to Thirteen.”

 

Knots: “Or maybe they’ll just trade knockout blows and sorry, but my money is on Thirteen! He’s succeeded!”

 

Savior walks over and asks for a microphone. He’s given one and he turns and looks around and enjoys the cheers of the crowd before standing in the middle of the ring.

 

Savior: “Oh damn that always feels good, but unfortunately, that probably the least serious think I’m going to say because from here on, it’s no longer fun and games…it’s pure business. I think all of you have heard of a little show called Rise to Greatness X. A show that I’ve seen all of them in some way, shape or form…competed on them…and now ten years of them.”

 

Savior pauses for a moment.

 

Savior: “And we just saw a few moments the last Rise to Greatness moment I was involved in…some six months after I had a sledgehammer taken to my knees. Some six months before I ended up with a painkiller issue and had to claw, scratch and fight back to stand here right now and to this moment, I have never gotten the closure I deserve. Now…the funny thing…after our latest brushes, I moved on for a bit…and funny enough, Thirteen made the first move…the first big move…and I retaliated and here we are. See Thirteen, you know just as well as I that we never were done. Nothing was ever finished between us. And now, with the biggest show in SCW history…it will be done….over….one of us will win it all. Eighteen months in the making….It ends.”

 

“Hell” by Disturbed starts to play and the lights go out as the crowd roars. A few moments pass before the lights return and Thirteen walks out from the back. He looks down at Christian Savior before then starting to make his way down the rampway. He gets to the bottom and looks up at Savior before walking up the steel steps and then walking along the apron before entering the ring. He looks at Christian before walking past him and being handed a microphone. He takes it before glancing back at Christian. He walks over to Christian and stands in front of him as the crowd roars.

 

Thirteen: “This is what you wanted…wasn’t it?”

 

Savior just looks at Thirteen.

 

Thirteen: “But it’s not going to be the ending you want. See Savior….I am your foil…I am your perfect opponent. I am he who has taken everything you stood for. The opportunism. The athleticism. The ruthlessness. The charisma….and then improved upon it all and slowly destroyed whatever kingdom you had.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Thirteen: “But…I know you wanted this at the biggest event in SCW history. Rise to Greatness X. And I have no problem delivering it to you. Eighteen months in the making. It won’t even take eighteen minutes to destroy whatever is left of your career.”

 

Savior: “You’ve ruined it once Thirteen. For that…you deserve credit. But Thirteen, I’m not going to let you do it again.”

 

Thirteen smiles a bit.

 

Thirteen: “Too bad you don’t make that decision. I do!”

 

Savior: “You think so…but I’m not going to walk out that way. I’m not going to let everything I worked for end with you destroying it all. After all I’ve been through, the ups and downs, the pain and punishment, the disappointment and heartbreak. You Thirteen are going to suffer the fate of knowing that at the ONE moment that matters, I will be better than you.”

 

Thirteen: “I was a better Adrenaline Champion…a better World Champion…a better opportunist. What do you have?”

 

The crowd starts to chant “spear!” and Savior just smirks.

 

Savior: “Desperation. And Thirteen, you won’t understand it now…but come Rise to Greatness…you’ll see just how much this all means to me.”

 

Savior then brings microphone down and Thirteen just smirks. He lowers his microphone and the two just look at each other. Thirteen and Savior lock eyes for a few moments as the crowd roars. Thirteen smirks before turning and walking off. He exits the ring and drops down to the floor. Savior turns and watches him go. He just nods before Thirteen continues on his way to the back. The crowd boos him as Savior just watches him leave.

 

Sharper: “Almost an agreement there…Thirteen and Christian Savior, one more time, at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Knots: “Thirteen knows he wants it…he’ll give it…Savior’s going to regret it.”

 

Sharper: “We’ll see about that. Savior has wanted this for a far too long.”

 

The camera focuses on Savior for a few moments longer.

We then cut to see the Breakdown logo as “Rescue Me” plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars as Marina Trent comes up before showing Syren and then showing both.

 

Sharper: “Well when we return, it’s main event time. Marina Trent. Syren. US Champion versus World Champion. That match is next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Marina Trent vs. Syren

 

"The Hand that Feeds" by Nine-Inch Nails plays as the lights to a bright white color onto the rampway. The fans cheer and yell their support as a light fog of black and white smoke settles along the ramp way and spills outwards, swirling. With all in place, a figure raises from under the mist, her back to the audience, who can only see the shining gems that adorn her black sarong, the black of her outfit and her brown hair, decorated with black feathers.

Running her hands through her hair and down her body sensually to the music, she earns excited cries and wolf calls from the audience. Turning slowly, the audience sees the dark eyes and gently smiling face of the Black Swan, Marina Trent. With a sudden turn, the lights flare white and pyrotechnics rain down, adding to the spectacle. Marina has the SCW United States Championship over her shoulder. Shilo Valiant then walks out from the back getting more cheers from the crowd.

The Black Swan makes her way down the ramp, followed by Shilo, her body swaying with every step and staring at the arena darkly - a predator claiming her ground. Reaching the right side of the ring, she pulls herself up with ease and stays there for a moment before powering off with a high-flying backflip over the ropes and landing on her feet in the centre of the ring. Finally, running up to the bottom left turnbuckle, continuing her stride until she has launched herself up, balancing on the ropes, the Black Swan observes the audience with a smile. Without hesitation, Marina launches off from her precarious position on the top ropes into a graceful, but deadly dive. The moment her feet hit the ring's centre, she lands cleanly in a huntress crouch, the lights return to normal. Shilo circles the ring, settling in Marina’s corner.

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant we figured would be watching. He’s at ringside.”

 

Knots: “A clear distraction, not that Marina would need it.”

 

Sharper: “Syren is going to have to stay focused here. But Marina Trent has had a lot of success against Syren in the past. She ended Syren’s first Women’s Championship reign. And indirectly ended the second.”

 

The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the center of the stage. After a few seconds the screens display a countdown.

PINNACLE WILL STEAL THE SHOW IN

NOW!


“Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. After a few moments the curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage, stopping for a moment as she steps in to the spotlight and looking around at the arena before looking down at the ground in front of her and flicking her hair back and smiling at the cameras and the fans, soaking in the atmosphere and revelling in every moment, from the cheers from some fans to boos from most. The SCW World Championship sits over her shoulder. She turns around, facing backwards toward the ring and pointing at the back of her pink ring-jacket jacket which bears the words "JUST BE JEALOUS".

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy


Syren smiles and blows a kiss to the camera. She leans in and tells the camera “it’s time for the best female wrestler IN THE WORLD” before walking down to the ring, stopping at one point next to some fans before holding up a hand and dismissing whatever they were saying. She walks around the ringside area before leaping up on the ring apron and posing on the apron for a moment, then slowly ducking under the middle rope, wiggling her ass as she does to tease the fans. Once in the ring she quickly runs across the ring before leaping up on to the middle turnbuckle and raising her arms in to the air, singing along to her theme music. After a few seconds she leaps down and spins around in the ring before backing in to her corner and jumping up, sitting on the top turnbuckle. She places her title beneath her and looks at Shilo and yells at him.

 

Sharper: “Syren already chirping at Shilo Valiant.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”
