“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 Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec, Canada 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 Montreal for Breakdown as we are just four days away from Rise to Greatness X! I’m Adam Sharper alongside Jonathan Knots and tonight, you have to wonder what is going to happen as we are just this close to the biggest event in SCW history.”

 

Knots: “Of course you do. But we know everyone is here. We know the Cardinal Sin promised a bloodletting. We know Jake Starr will be in action. We know that Marina Trent will face Orlando Cruze.”

 

Sharper: “And we know that Shilo Valiant and Syren are here. Regan Street and Brittany Lohan are here. Christian Savior and Thirteen are here. All the parties in the Tag Team Championship match.”

 

Knots: “It’s going to be wild ride. An explosive night!”

 

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!

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. A few moments pass before Regan Street walks out from the back with her Women’s Championship over her shoulder and a cat’o’nine tails in her hand.

 

Sharper: “And we’re going to kick off tonight with the Women’s Champion, Regan Street and she has that whip that she had on Supreme Saturday to go after Brittany Lohan.”

 

Knots: “This Sunday, last woman/man standing. It’s no holds barred and Regan is just showing Brian that she’s ready to throw down.”

 

Regan walks down to the ring, ignoring the booing fans as she then walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. She looks around before walking over to the corner and asking for a microphone. She’s handed on by Jason Phillips and turns before walking back to the middle of the ring. She looks around before her music fades out. She then looks at the cat o’nine tails in her hand and smirks.

 

Regan: “Did you like that Brittany? Did you like the fact that I whipped you like the bitch that you are?”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Regan: “See, Brittany…you can come out and ruin all of my goals. The problem with that is that all it does is slowly drive me to get to the point that you and Rachel were afraid of me getting to months ago and that is the point where even the two of you couldn’t stop me. Rachel’s got her own problems. But you’ve got just me Brittany. And you can have Mary in your corner. She can sit right over there…”

 

Regan walks over to the ropes and points to the empty location at ringside where Mary frequently is seated.

 

Regan: “The same place that I choked her out just for my own entertainment. And she can watch because Lohan, this isn’t a run into the match and eliminate me from the battle royal. There’s no steel cage. There’s not going to be a chance for you to ruin another World Championship shot. Quite simply, this Sunday, we’re going to beat the holy hell out of each other…well…you can beat…and snort…and spit…and overpower me…but I’m going to whip, and claw, and bite, and kick and DESTROY you!”

 

Regan pauses as the crowd roars.

 

Regan: “But Brittany, I know that you’re here. I know that you’re going to want my blood. It’s fun when you’re just standing around and acting tough. Watching. Waiting…and then you want to jump me and all of these jackasses in the crowd then roar as they watch you take away what I deserve, something you never could accomplish!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Regan: “But Brittany, tonight is the night that I show you that Rise to Greatness will be your demise. That Pinnacle will success. That I will get ALL of the vengeance I need to get against your ugly ass and Mary, I hope you know that you drove her to her destruction. I hope you’re fine with that!”

 

Just then “Alive & Awake” plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars as Regan turns to the entrance way and the confidence slowly drips away as Trinity Street walks out from the back. With her is Simon Lyman. Lyman is a few strides behind as Trinity makes her way down to the ring. Regan watches her as Trinity gets to the ring and walks up the steel steps. Lyman remains at ringside, standing guard as Trinity then walks over and asks for a microphone.

 

Sharper: “Trinity Street on her way out and based off her twitter comments, you have to think this is not going to be a pleasant family reunion.”

 

Knots: “I’m sorry, but if Trinity is going to throw a tantrum because she can’t realize Regan has her own priorities, then she really isn’t some great trainer and it pains me to say that!”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure it does…”

 

Trinity is handed a microphone and she turns to Regan.

 

Regan: “What are you doing here?”

 

Trinity: “That’s funny. Because I should be one asking questions. It’s been two weeks since your ally decided to choke me out…and since you like to point….right there…”

 

Trinity points in front of the announce tables.

 

Trinity: “And you know exactly what I think about the fact that David and Tommy had to stop Kennedy and Dawn. That you lifted not one finger. After everything I’ve done for you…train you…take you in….raise you….”

 

Regan: “Look-“

 

Trinity: “No you look. I don’t give a damn if Brittany Lohan comes out here with sledgehammer and is going to shove it up your ass. You only have one family. And I’m listening to you talk about everything you deserve and how Lohan took it from you. Let me make this plain…everything you deserve was thanks to the Street Family. Pinnacle…they have merely held you back…And now…they’ve stripped you not only of your clothes, but of everything you even stood for.”

 

Regan: “Trinity…I’m sorry that I didn’t come out to get involved in your business…But just like I don’t need Kennedy or you to get involved with mine with Lohan…maybe I expected HIM to do better-“

 

Regan points at Lyman and Trinity just smacks Regan.

 

Trinity: “You have no right to criticize right now. HE didn’t spit on his family. You did and everyone who helped you get here. I hope you understand that when Mary…when Lohan…they undo you and your flawed priorities…Pinnacle better be worth it…”

 

Trinity just looks at Regan as Trinity turns and steps through the ropes. Regan just looks down as Trinity drops to the floor. Her and Lyman walk off as Regan just loos down at the mat.

 

Sharper: “Talk about a dressing down…”

 

Knots: “Totally unfair to Regan!”

 

Sharper: “Trinity Street making clear her feelings to Regan and Regan…she was confident earlier and now…”

 

Knots: “She’ll be fine!”

 

Trinity Street and Simon Lyman walk continue on their way to the back as Regan Street continues to just look down at the mat.

The scene changes backstage to see  Marisa Condolesa standing with Justin Davis. The crowd cheers faintly as Marisa turns to him.

 

Marisa: “Justin, you this Saturday will be facing three others for an Adrenaline Championship shot. Tonight, you face Stacy Kissinger. What is going through your head before he head to Rise to Greatness?”

 

Davis just smirks and turns to Marisa.

 

Davis: “I better not screw up. I better not let Stacy and her twang get one over on me. I better not let down the city of Boston and kick her ass.”

 

The crowd erupts in boos as Davis says that and nearly immediately a “Go Habs Go!” chant breaks out.

 

Davis: “I have been flying under the radar for too long. I say I was back and I was going to make an impact. Well…the time has come.”

 

Davis turns and walks off. Marisa then turns to the camera.

 

Marisa: “Now let’s go to Jessica Winters who is with Stacy Kissinger. Jessica?”

 

The scene changes to show Jessica Winters standing with Stacy outside of the women’s locker room.

 

Jessica: “Stacy…this Saturday, you’re going to be one of four challenging for a Women’s Championship shot and in a few moments you’re going to face off against Justin Davis. What is your strategy going forward?”

 

Stacy: “Like it mattahs…I’m gonna do what I do…if that’s win, great…if not…well…gotta go down swingin’. That’s about it?”

 

Jessica: “That’s it? Not thinking that you’ve got this?”

 

Stacy: “And what would lead ya ta believe I’ve got anythin’ undah control?”

 

Stacy turns and walks off as Jessica turns to the camera and shrugs.

 

Sharper: “When we return, Justin Davis and Stacy Kissinger will meet up in that ring. Head to head. Breakdown returns after this!”

COMMERCIAL:

Justin Davis vs. Stacy Kissinger

 

The lighting overhead 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 on 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. Stacy then starts on her way to the ring. She walks up to the ring and up onto the apron before entering. She walks around before going to the corner and stretching out and warming up.

 

Sharper: “Stacy Kissinger will be part of the Women’s Contendership Fourway on the Rise to Greatness Preview show this Saturday. Her opponent, Justin Davis, will be in the Adrenaline Contendership Fourway.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and both of these two, God…lost souls with no clue. At least one of them is going get some momentum.”

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 and once he makes it to the middle of the ramp he picks up the pace and runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. And once he's in the ring he stands in the middle of the ring pumping himself up for the match.

 

Sharper: “Davis has had an up and down return. Let’s see what he can do here.”

 

Knots: “Both of them. Who would’ve thought that Tatum McGraw was the smart one in Dallas Delights and who would’ve thought that Davis getting his ass kicked by Hudson or Glacier all those years was going to hurt him!”

 

The bell sounds and Davis and Stacy start to circle the ring. They move into each other and Davis kicks Stacy kicks him in the ribs. Davis nails Stacy with a hard right and then another. Davis shoves Stacy into the ropes before firing her across. She bounces off the other side and Davis hip tosses her over. Kissinger gets up and Davis nails her with a hard right before grabbing her by the head and running her over to the corner, driving her face first into the top turnbuckle. She turns and Davis kicks him in the ribs before starting to choke her with his boot. The referee comes in and starts to count.

Davis steps off. He walks around. Stacy catches her breath. Davis then walks over and grabs her and whips her across the ring. Kissinger hits the opposite corner. Davis runs after her and goes for a clothesline. Kissinger moves out of the way though and Davis goes chest first into the corner.

 

Sharper: “Kissinger moves. Davis crashes into the corner.”

 

Knots: “No one home. Just like normally! Like Amber!”

 

Sharper: “Easy there.”

 

Knots: “What? Just bringing some history to light.”

 

Davis turns around and Kissinger dropkicks him back into the corner. Davis tries to regain himself and Kissinger cuffs him with a forearm. She then snapmares him out of the corner and knees him in the back. She forces him back and into a pin.

Davis kicks out. He rolls over and away from the corner. He starts to get up and Kissinger nails him with a dropkick, knocking him down again. Davis gets back up and Kissinger grabs Davis and kicks him in the ribs and goes for a vertical suplex. Davis blocks it. Kissinger tries again. Still blocked. Davis then counters with a vertical suplex of his own. Kissinger gets up and Davis scoop slams her down before hitting an elbow drop.

 

Sharper: “Davis coming back. Hard slam and then the point of the elbow right to the chest and throat.”

 

Knots: “Do that a few more times. Stop her from singing.”

 

Sharper: “And for those wondering, these two could end up facing each other again at Rise to Greatness if they win their respective fourway matches. This is a chance to potentially eliminate possible opponents.”

 

Davis gets up and stomps her in the face. She rolls over. She starts to get up and Davis grabs her and throws her back with a back suplex. Davis then rolls her over and drags her to the corner. Davis backs up and facewashes her. He facewashes her again before turning and running into the ropes. He bounces off and hits the facewash in the corner. Stacy drops. Davis grabs her and rolls her over and goes for the pin.

Stacy kicks out. She rolls over and Davis and drags her up. He nails her with a hard right. Stacy stumbles back to the ropes. Davis then backs up before running at Stacy, but Stacy counters by back dropping him up and over. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Davis caught! Stacy just launched him and back dropped him right in front of us.”

 

Knots: “Couldn’t land on the apron and just landed hard here. Stacy now has a chance.”

 

Davis starts to get up and Stacy turns and grabs the top rope and hits a vertical press to the floor. The crowd roars. Stacy rolls over. (1) She starts to get up and walks around. Davis stirs too. (2) He grabs at the table and Stacy grabs him and rolls him into the ring. (3) Stacy gets up and climbs up to the top rope. Davis rolls over and starts to get up. Stacy gets to the top rope and Davis gets up and Stacy dives off with a crossbody, but Davis rolls through. He however holds onto Stacy and manages to slowly lift her up before hitting a ribbreaker. Stacy rolls over and starts to get up. She turns around to Davis and Davis kicks her in the ribs and places her head between his legs. He then turns to face away from the corner and hits a running powerbomb out of the corner into a pin.

Stacy gets her shoulder up and rolls out.

 

Sharper: “Nearfall! That powerbomb dazed her, but not enough.”

 

Knots: “Well how about that. Davis is getting fired up. He’s starting to get in there and go big. I like it!”

 

Davis gets up and Stacy stirs. Davis grabs her and Stacy then rolls through and rolls him up with a school boy.

Davis kicks out. Both get up and Stacy jumps up and goes for the bulldog, but Davis pushes her off.

The crowd roars and Davis rolls out of the ring. Kissinger looks up and shocked.

 

Sharper: “Davis! He countered the roll-up and picked up a huge win going into Rise to Greatness.”

 

Knots: “Going into those contendership matches!”

 

Davis raises his arm and smiles a bit as Kissinger just looks down and shakes her head. The crowd roars as we cut backstage.

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Regan Street back in the locker room of Pinnacle. She takes a deep breath as she walks in and turns to CHBK.

 

Regan: “You had to go after her?! You just did!”

 

CHBK: “Excuse me?”

 

Regan: “Trinity! You had to make it personal.”

 

CHBK: “It’s sorta what I do…made a hell of a career with it too.”

 

Ravyn: “It’s true as Ravyn chimes in.”

 

Regan: “Shut it Ravyn.”

 

Helms: “Whoa…”

 

Regan: “You too David! And if you hadn’t stopped Keenie and Dawn-”

 

CHBK: “That was at my request.”

 

Regan turns away as Syren and Tommy notice along with Matty Stone.

 

Regan: “What the hell is wrong with you?”

 

CHBK: “I’m not sure what you have a problem with. Have I not gotten results? See Regan…you’re forgetting something. They may be family…but this is your career. And whether you like it or not, David and Tommy are facing them for their titles. They are not friends. They are rivals.”

 

Regan: “But-“

 

CHBK: “I know Trinity meant a lot to you. The fact of the matter is…I don’t care what you think. I did what I needed to do to get what I wanted.”

 

Regan: “To get in her pants?”

 

CHBK: “I’ll put it this way…you want Lohan…you went after her on Supreme Saturday. You went after Mary. What’s so different from what I did…I just realize that competition…that’s BS and you know it. It’s about winning…and only winning. That’s what gets you the World Title.”

 

Regan just looks at him.

 

CHBK: “Go blow off steam. Go find Lohan…”

 

Regan: “Whatever.”

 

Regan turns and walks off. David just turns to CHBK and Ravyn. Ravyn just shrugs and turns around as CHBK watches her leave and the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up in the SCW interview area to see Jim Dawson standing in front of the SCW logo.

 

Dawson: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I’m Jim Dawson and please welcome at this time, Matt Hodges.”

 

The crowd cheers as Hodges comes into view and with him his manager. The manager steps in front of Hodges as Dawson turns to Hodges.

 

???: “Talk to me.”

 

Dawson: “Um…”

 

???: “I will be speaking for Mr. Hodges.”

 

Dawson: “Could you tell me your name then-“

 

???: “That is not important.”

 

Dawson: “Alright-“

 

???: “In fact, I will simply recite the message that needs to be sent to one Dylan Howell. The man who decided to take away Mr. Hodges’ opportunity to be the World Champion and headline Rise to Greatness because of some flawed desire to protect the shot for his ally. For Mr. Howell, he will find out the problem with screwing over Mr. Hodges. He will find out that he will succumb to justice and Howell’s ally…she’ll have to find some other poor sap to be the lightning rod for her inabilities to earn shots. If Mr. Howell is here, he should give his final words to the world tonight…because come Sunday, he will lose that ability!”

 

Hodges then looks right at the camera as the manager just smiles. Dawson pulls the microphone away as we cut to ringside.

Matt Auclair vs. Eric Paisano

 

Post blue by Placebo begins to play:

It's in the water baby
It's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water baby
It's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water baby
It's in your frequency
It's in the water baby
It's between you and me

Then out comes Eric who is wearing a customized basketball jersey with the last name Paisano seen on the back of the jersey. The audience gets up from their seats and cheers for Eric. Eric then takes off the jersey and tosses it in the crowd. This gets the audience even more excited. Eric who is now shirtless, showing off his perfectly toned six pack abs receives some whistling from the females in attendance showing their approval. He has short black hair with some styling gel and is clean shaven. Eric has on white basketball shorts with the top part of his black boxers visible. He also has on white Air Jordan basketball shoes and white ankle socks. Eric smiles at the crowd as he makes his way towards the ring. He then jumps on the ring apron and then enters between the top and middle rope.

 

Sharper: “We’re about to see a match between two of the new signings here in SCW. Eric Paisano is coming off a loss to the Austrian Death Machine on Aggression.”

 

Knots: “Well this guy…he’s interesting.”

 

Sharper: “Why’s that?”

 

Knots: “I have it on good authority, he’s got a link to Kelcey Wallace and also Madison Chase. There’s something more to this guy. He’s flying too much under the radar.”

 

The heavy riffs of Malevolent Creation’s “Rebirth of Terror” blast out through the speakers at a volume that likely has every non-death metal fan covering their ears. White lights are pulsing on stage in tune with the song as Matt Auclair storms out onto the stage. Fans in the front row remain silent while those a safe distance away from him start booing. Auclair just scans over the arena with a death glare before storming his way down to the ring. Once at ringside he slides in and heads straight to his corner, where he awaits the bell by impatiently pacing back and forth like a caged animal ready to strike.

 

Sharper: “This man…he’s interesting too.”

 

Knots: “He’s nuts. He just seeks and destroys! I like him!”

 

The bell sounds and Auclair starts to head over to Paisano. Paisano watches him as Auclair goes for a hard right, but Paisano ducks and backs away. Auclair turns and follows him and continues after him and throws another punch, but Paisano ducks and spins around. He nails him with a forearm and then another before Auclair nails him in the gut with a punch. Paisano stumbles back and Auclair turns and goes for a hard right, but Paisano drops down and nails him in the ribs with a hard right of his own and hits an uppercut. He then scoops him up and slams him down. Auclair gets up and Paisano grabs him and throws him into the corner. Auclair just turns and nails him with a hard right, knocking Paisano back.

 

Sharper: “What a right hand and Paisano rocked!”

 

Knots: “One punch and he’s got Paisano wondering if he’s got a mother.”

 

Paisano gets up and Auclair walks over and nails him with a shot to the ribs and then the jaw before nailing him in the ribs again and then tackling him back into the corner. He then nails him with a series of hard right hands to the jaw and Paisano covers up, but Auclair keeps pounding on him. The referee calls for the break.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

Auclair stops and threatens the official. The official backs up a bit before Paisano then takes Auclair down and hits an slingshot. Auclair is dazed as Paisano gets some space. Auclair then charges at Paisano and Paisano sidesteps him and throws him through the ropes to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Nice high awareness maneuver by Paisano as he sidesteps Auclair and sends him to the floor.”

 

Knots: “That may just piss him off more and really, do you want him more pissed off?”

 

Auclair starts to get up. Paisano backs up and Auclair rolls into the ring and Paisano hits a dropkick to his jaw, knocking him back down. He goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Auclair kicks out. Both men get up and Paisano kicks him in the ribs before lifting him up and hitting a side belly to belly suplex. He then turn and exits to the apron. He gets up and climbs up to the top rope. Auclair slowly gets up and Paisano dives off with a diving kick. Auclair hits the mat and Paisano goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Auclair powers him off. Both men get up and Auclair nails him with a swinging blow that ends up more like a clothesline, knocking him down.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! What a shot! What a clothesline.”

 

Knots: “Just nearly took his head off. That be a shame. I couldn’t figure out then what the hell he’s up to!”

 

Auclair turns and Paisano rolls over and Auclair mounts on his back and hammers away at the back of his head. Paisano covers up as the official tells Auclair to break. Auclair shoves back the official and gets up. Paisano starts to get up and Auclair turns and nails him in the ribs with a vicious blow. He then nails him in the back. Paisano falls to his neck. Auclair then hits an elbow and Paisano falls back. Auclair goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Paisano kicks out. He then just elbows him in the side of the head before getting up and driving his fist down into the face of Paisano. Paisano rolls over and Auclair just waits for him. Paisano gets to the ropes and Auclair turns and goes to nail him, but Paisano jumps up and hits a spinning back kick, knocking Auclair down.

 

Sharper: “Big hit for Paisano as Auclair was starting to get into that zone!”

 

Knots: “He was starting to turn Paisano into his personal punching bag and Paisano said, nuts to that, I’m going to kick him in the face!”

 

Auclair stirs and Paisano walks over and kicks him in the ribs. He then runs into the ropes. Auclair goes to nail him, but Paisano ducks and stops. Auclair turns around and Paisano goes for the Gamewinner, but Auclair shoves him off before Paisano turns and Auclair drills him with the Deathblow. The crowd ohs and Auclair just is backed up from Paisano as the official goes over to check on him. The referee raises Paisano’s arm once and it drops. He does it again and same result. He does it a third time and Paisano’s arm drops again. The official calls for the bell and Auclair just smirks. He then turns and exits the ring, not even getting his arm raised. He then starts to walk to the back as the official checks on Paisano.

 

Sharper: “My God what a shot. And Paisano’s in another dream state.”

 

Knots: “That was ridiculous. Just right to the jaw and bam!”

 

Sharper: “Auclair with an impressive knockout and heads into Rise to Greatness weekend with another big win. Wow…”

 

Auclair continues to the back as we then cut backstage.

Backstage we see Mr. D and Desmond Drake is with him as they are talking to one of the officials. We then see Greg Cherry walk up with Jack Campbell and Eddie Parker with him. The crowd boos upon seeing them. Mr. D just turns to them and Drake looks at them. Greg just looks down at him.

 

Greg: “Wow…really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for interns these days.”

 

Drake: “I’ll tell you I’m quite qualified.”

 

Greg: “If someone can dump you into a trash can, you’re not.”

 

Mr. D: “Greg…Jack…Eddie…how nice to see all of you.”

 

Greg: “Don’t worry, we’re not here to give you a problem. Jake on the other hand…”

 

Jack: “Yeah, your job is safe.”

 

Eddie smirks.

 

Mr. D: “Good…because to be fair, if you did that, then Jake Starr is more likely to cave your skull in with a chair.”

 

Greg: “Heh…if I was running the show, we wouldn’t have to worry about Jake…but nice try.”

 

Greg turns and walks off. Jack and Eddie follow him. Drake turns to Mr. D.

 

Drake: “I see what you mean about the egos.”

 

Mr. D: “That’s not ego. That’s just being a jerk. Almost as frequent. Just less annoying.”

 

Drake: “Although he has a point…”

 

Mr. D: “Which is?”

 

Drake: “Probably not good if I can be thrown into a garbage can.”

 

Mr. D: “Although, think of the ratings…”

 

Mr. D and Drake walk off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Shinedown's "Diamond Eyes (Boom Lay Boom Lay Boom) plays as William Mason struts through the curtain. With him is Shaya Blackley. Mason stands at the top of the ramp. He takes a moment to soak in the reaction from the audience. Shaya does the same. Mason and Shaya then start to make their way down the rampway.

 

Sharper: “William Mason and Shaya Blackley, much like Davis and Kissinger earlier, they will be in those contendership matches. Shaya Blackley will be in the Women’s Championship contendership match and Mason will be part of the US Championship match.”

 

Knots: “And for some stupid reason, if you go to his twitter, he’s complaining about it. The moron is complaining about it.”

 

Sharper: “He feels Kelcey Wallace should get his opportunity. But our boss thinks otherwise.”

 

Knots: “As does Blitzkrieg.”

 

Mason walks up the steel steps before extending his hand for Shaya. Shaya walks up and both enter the ring. Mason then walks over to the corner and asks for a microphone for him and Shaya. He is handed one and he turns back and hands one to Shaya. His music fades out.

 

Mason: “Well ladies and gentlemen, we are just a few nights away from the Rise to Greatness Preview show that is going to see both myself and Shaya Blackley get an opportunity. A opportunity to become champions. Now while I cannot speak for Shaya as I know that she would love another shot at Regan Street, one to make good on what happened at Retribution…I for one…I’m willing to stand here and say I don’t deserve this opportunity.”

 

Shaya just looks at him.

 

Mason: “See, the fact of the matter is that while I would love to be US Champion and attain the goal I’ve been trying to reach for the last year, it should be Kelcey Wallace getting this shot. The one who has been perfect in this ring in singles competition. The one who has taken on all comers and will continue at Rise to Greatness…But that’s not going to be the case.”

 

Blackley: “Exactly. It’s going to be us. Women’s title for me….US Title for you. And William, I can say this knowing Kelcey more that most…she’ll want you to win…she’ll want you to take advantage as it is in your future…just like it’s in mine…and when we get our shots, we may even be across the ring from each other on the big stage and how exciting would that be!”

 

“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.

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?!"

 

The crowd boos as Gable Winchester walks out from the back with Jack. They start to walk to the ring. Gable has a microphone in his hand. He talks as he walks to the ring.

 

Gable: “Hold it…hold it…now Shaya…don’t really have much to say for you because really, if I see you come Rise to Greatness, then well, WINNER HERE…but William, as someone who WANTS to win the US Championship shot to along with my beautiful, fantabulous TRIOS TOURNEY SHOT…BAY BAY!”

 

Gable pauses for a moment as he gets to the ring.

 

Gable: “And really, if you’re going to go out there and lay an egg all because your head is so far up Kelcey’s ass, then don’t bother showing up so I don’t have to break a sweat getting the shot that should rightfully be mine!”

 

Mason just yells at Gable.

 

Mason: “You think I’m going to lay an egg.”

 

Gable walks over to Mason.

 

Gable: “Well if you don’t want it…then step aside…bitch!”

 

The crowd roars before “It’s a New Day” plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars as Johnny Dollar walks out from the back with Lexington Stalfos and Joseph Englider.

 

Knots: “Oh great…this nimrod!”

 

Dollar walks out and takes a few steps with Englider and Stalfos following. They get about halfway down the rampway before looking up at the ring.

 

Dollar: “Hold it…hold it…I just want to make sure I heard all of this correctly! First off, Mason is complaining about getting a title shot…how does that make you feel Joseph?”

 

Englider just scoffs.

 

Dollar: “That’s telling. And then you Gable…not only can you just really say four words clearly…did you just call him a bitch?”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Dollar: “I mean really…did you just insult him like you were on the Jerry Springer show? At least throw a chair then! You guys are coming out here talking like you’ve got it. You’re focusing on the pre-show. I’m looking at the Rise to Greatness show itself. The opportunity to choose. Like the ultimate lottery! Place your bets and spin the wheel. Because I got two people who want to be there. And that will be great, I may even sit with you guys down there! HEY JOANNE!”

 

Knots just glares as Dollar smirks. Just then, "I'm Made Of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of" by A Day To Remember plays throughout the arena. The crowd roars before booing as Thomas Watson and Ryan Watson walk out from the back.

 

Dollar: “Oh hey! It’s the bad boys! Like from Grease!”

 

Ryan has a microphone in his hand and looks down at Dollar and glares before they take a few steps down the rampway and Englider and Stalfos just look at them.

 

Ryan: “Christ, now ya makin’ jokes. Well let me give ya summat to joke about…the two of you fools are gonna get your ass kicked. So are all them fools in the ring and even that bird Shaya if she happens ta win. See Dollar, Gable, Mason…any of you all. Because quite simply, this weekend is the night that the Watsons, we take what we know are ours. Thomas your future Adrenaline Championship…me…your future US Champion. Remember kids….nice guys finish last…idiots…finish just as bad!”

 

"What doesn't kill me only, will make me stronger in my head... in my heeeead"

 

The crowd roars as Harmony Fisher then walks out from the back as “Kick in the Teeth” plays. She has a microphone too. She looks at the Watsons before the ring and then scoffs.

 

Harmony: “Holy crap…so many people coming out here and talking crap and none of you really doing much about it. And to be honest, it’s nice that all of you guys are talking, because I got something for the only other woman with the balls to be out here at that’s Shaya. And well, to put it this way…you and I…we’re going to show the world why we’re in this match. Stacy…Jesse Rose…heh…they’re in for a long night and I feel bad for any of you who have to deal with us at Rise to Greatness because quite simply…it’s going to be a kick in the teeth!”

 

“Kick in the Teeth” starts to play. Everyone just watches everyone.

 

Sharper: “Talk about everyone making a statement. A number of those in those contendership matches this Saturday night…only three will get the shots. Only three will compete then at Rise to Greatness to get to choose when they cash it in.”

 

Knots: “Who’s going to get it though? Who wants it the most?!”

 

Sharper: “That’s going to be the question. That’s the going to be the big question in those three matches. Anyone can take it and anyone could take it!”

“Rescue Me” starts to play before the Breakdown logo comes up and we see a shot of Marina Trent and then a shot of Orlando Cruze.

 

Sharper: “Well folks, when we return, a big match. The SCW United States Champion faces off against Orlando Cruze of the IWC!”

 

Knots: “Can’t wait!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see the Cashmere Mafia standing with Trinity Street and Simon Lyman.

 

Dawn: “Look I still can’t believe all of that two weeks ago. Not just the CHBK stuff, but then Next Level…”

 

Kennedy: “Regan…”

 

Lyman: “Look. We’ll take care of CHBK and Ravyn. You take care of Next Level.”

 

Kennedy: “And Regan?”

 

Kennedy looks at Trinity dead serious. Just then, Brittany Lohan walks over to them and the crowd roars. Typhoid Mary comes in following her.

 

Lohan: “What about Regan? I figured…maybe I should get your opinions. I mean I thought family mattered to her?”

 

Mary just smirks. Trinity just turns to Lohan.

 

Trinity: “We don’t need you to take care of our business.”

 

Lohan: “That’s interesting. Because it is my business…and after this Sunday, you won’t need to take care of anything. And plus…this is family to me. Right Dawnie?”

 

Dawn just glares at her.

 

Lohan: “Too bad…I’ll just take care of everything my way then.”

 

Lohan and Mary turn and walk off. Trinity, Kennedy, Simon and Dawn just watch her leave as we cut back to ringside.

Marina Trent vs. Orlando Cruze

 

"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, the SCW United States Championship sitting over her shoulder. With a sudden turn, the lights flare white and pyrotechnics rain down, adding to the spectacle.

The Black Swan makes her way down the ramp, 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.

 

Sharper: “Marina Trent, the US Champion is about to get ready to face off against IWC’s Orlando Cruze.”

 

Knots: “And kick his ass. I would’ve seen this as a great match months ago, but damn it Orlando…Hurse has killed you!”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Marina Trent told Devon Kayl and Collin Cole to come and call her out to her face and they are here. Are they going to come out during this match.”

 

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 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: “Orlando Cruze is just days away from facing off against Katie Steward.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and that whole situation has just gone up a notch. Robin Brooks was tired of hanging out with Katie and has sided with the IWC!”

 

Sharper: “Robin Brooks was a former IWC X-Class Champion and apparently had some sympathy. Katie Steward has been said to be a wreck.”

 

Knots: “Ha!”

 

The bell sounds and Orlando Cruze and Marina Trent watch each other. Orlando Cruze and Marina start to head to each other and both go into a grapple. Marina quickly turns and grabs Cruze in a side headlock and takes him over. Marina pulls up as Orlando holds on. Cruze tries to fire her off. She bounces off the ropes and Cruze shoulders her down. He runs into the ropes. Marina rolls towards him. Cruze hops over and bounces off the other side. Marina leapfrogs over him and Cruze turns and Marina hits a dropkick. Cruze gets back up and Marina kicks him in the ribs and fires him into the ropes. Cruze bounces off and jumps up and nails Marina with a flying clothesline. Marina hits the mats and rolls towards the ropes. The crowd roars as Orlando goes over to keep the fight on Marina. He stops her quickly before stomping her again and Katie Steward by herself, slides into the ring. She runs over and jumps onto the back of Orlando as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Katie! Katie Steward has come out and she is going after Orlando Cruze here tonight!”

 

Knots: “Holy crap! That didn’t take long!”

 

The referee calls for the bell. Orlando holds her on his back as he walks away from the ropes and flips her over. Katie just kicks him in the head. The crowd roars. Katie then gets up and kicks him in the ribs before nailing him with a series of forearm shots. Marina steps back and away from the ring. Katie then continues to hammer away on Orlando. Orlando pushes her away and she jumps up and hits the Botox Injection and Orlando falls to the mat. We then see Jackson Adams running down from the back with Hurse, Porno Lad and finally Robin Brooks. Hurse is with Robin as Adams slides into the ring. Katie turns and kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a hard forearm. Porno Lad slides in and Katie then kicks him in the ribs and throws him down. She notices Hurse and Robin as Robin just smiles and then Adams comes up from behind and nails her, knocking her down. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Just too much. And Katie focused on Robin and Hurse as they were coming down to the ring.”

 

Knots: “Where’s Paris and TJ!”

 

Sharper: “Well I’m guessing she came out before they could get set and now, it’s just turning into too much.”

 

Adams and Porno Lad start to stomp away on Katie as Orlando starts to get up. Adams then grabs Katie and lifts her up before turning and shoving her to Orlando who grabs her and hits a standing C4. The crowd ohs and Orlando rolls off. Robin Brooks then walks up the steel steps as Paris and TJ run out from the back and stop. Jackson grabs a microphone and hands it to Robin as she gets into the ring. Orlando Cruze gets up and looks at Katie and just laughs before grabbing his IWC World Championship.

 

Robin: “Oh Katie…after years…it feels so good to now be standing in this ring with a REAL group of allies that aren’t just going to feed your ego!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Robin: “See, this…this is a real family and one that I would fight to the ends of the earth for. Now I am with people who respect what I do. People who respect what I stand for and the IWC at Rise to Greatness…Orlando…kick her ass!”

 

Katie rolls over as Robin just smirks and turns to Paris and TJ.

 

Robin: “Paris…TJ…we’ve got room for you too.”

 

Robin smiles as Robin then turns and raises Orlando’s arm over his head. The crowd boos as Orlando, Robin and the rest of the IWC stand over Katie Steward. The boos continue and TJ just turns to Paris as they look down. The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

“And now…”

 

“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 2011. CHBK turns around and Zero then suddenly grabs CHBK and rolls him up in an inside cradle!

 

1!

 

2!

 

CHBK kicks out and the crowd lets out a collective sigh as Zero and CHBK start to slowly both get back up.

 

Sharper: “Oh! The inside cradle almost had it.”

 

Kayl: “Both have just taken so much out of the other. The littlest thing could do it and just think of the irony!”

 

Sharper: “Both are now getting back up. Almost like the reset button has been pushed!”

 

Kayl: “They both sure as hell don’t feel that way!”

 

Zero then quickly kicks CHBK in the ribs. He lifts him up and goes for the Falcon in the Dive, hooking up CHBK and then lifting him up, but CHBK spins around and lands behind Zero. Zero however jumps up and nails CHBK with a jumping kick to the head. CHBK stumbles back and bounces off the ropes. Zero then turns and gets up and takes CHBK down with another double-leg takedown before trying to lock in the Four Leaf Clover Hold for the third time in the match. The crowd roars, but CHBK manages to block it and twist his legs, causing Zero to flip through. He then gets up and CHBK slowly pulls himself up and Zero turns around and CHBK nails him with the Bittersweet Ending. The crowd ohs and Zero stumbles back and bounces off the ropes before starting to fall forward and CHBK turns and nails Zero with a second Bittersweet Ending before Zero can fall forward, instead causing him to fall back.

 

Kayl: “He hit him! Twice before he even fell.”

 

Sharper: “CHBK got him right on the chin! The cover!”

 

CHBK then rolls through and hooks the leg as the crowd roars and counts.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and CHBK rolls off and falls to the side. The referee calls for the bell and the crowd rises to their feet applauding.

 

Phillips: “Here is your winner…The Canadian Heartbreak Kid!”

 

The crowd roars as they continue to applaud before a “That was awesome!” chant begins to break out. The chants continue as CHBK slowly rolls over and starts to stir. He then grabs at the ropes and slowly pulls himself up before falling onto the middle rope. Jason Zero remains down and CHBK pulls himself up before stumbling around.

 

Sharper: “Jason Zero can never challenge for the World Championship again.”

 

Kayl: “Wow…but what a fight…what a match. I can say every bad thing about both…but in that ring…Wow.”

 

The referee then raises CHBK’s hand. He just looks down and smirks a bit before turning to Jason Zero. He looks at him before looking down and grabbing Zero and grabbing him by the hand. Jason Zero slowly gets up and looks around and CHBK just looks at Zero and smirks a bit as he shakes Zero’s hand. CHBK then pats him on the back before walking over towards the ropes, but Zero holds on. Zero then slowly pulls himself up to his feet. He then looks CHBK right in the eyes before looking around as CHBK just looks at him and Zero then suddenly grabs him and drops him down with the Chaos Theory! The crowd roars and Zero sits up. He then takes a deep breath and just slowly breathes out before then grabbing CHBK’s hand shaking it himself. He then gets up before walking over to the ropes. He leans on them before taking another deep breath. He then steps through the ropes and drops down to the floor as CHBK remains down in the ring.

 

Sharper: “It was that smirk. Zero may lose something big…but he just got the last laugh.”

 

Kayl: “And there’s that respect there…but there’s a lot of hatred too.”

 

Zero continues to slowly walk his way down the rampway, not looking back at all.

 

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

Breakdown returns and we open up to see Marina Trent standing in the ring with her SCW United States Championship. She just looks around as she leans against the corner. When she’s told we’re back on the air, she steps forward.

 

Sharper: “Marina Trent has been out here for the entire attack on Katie Steward and has stayed out here.”

 

Knots: “She said she wanted Cole and Kayl to come and tell her to her face everything about her. Here’s their chance!”

 

Marina: “Alright, now that that extracurricular is done…and while I’m not too pleased, I guess it just leaves me fresh for the apparently end of my US Championship reign…But the best part about it is that neither Cole or Kayl apparently have the balls to tell me to my face. Devon Kayl keeps talking about how I use Shilo to get to the top. Time and time again, this is his message…I told him to earn his shot…and I’ve seen nothing, but yet here we are. Just another sign of how pathetic things can be…”

 

The crowd cheers faintly before Marina pauses for a moment.

 

Marina: “And Collin…well, you managed to beat me a few weeks ago and for that, I salute you. You at least earned your shot at Rise to Greatness, but given that you seem to want to take this title, you’re going to have to be more than lucky. But the best part about it Collin…you’ve still not even said it to my face, so I dare both of you, are you going to keep hoping you’ll find the golden goose or can you come and face the Black Swan face to face!”

 

The crowd roars as Marina brings the microphone down. A few moments pass before 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.

 

Sharper: “It seems like Collin Cole is happily going to take this opportunity.”

 

Knots: “Why not? Prove you’re ready to go after Marina Trent. These three going for the US Championship. This could be a classic this Sunday!”

 

Collin walks down to the ring with Siouxsie before they both walk up the steel steps and enter the ring. Siouxsie skips around the ring as Collin walks over and asks for a microphone. He is handed one and he turns back and walks up to Marina. Marina just looks at Collin. Collin just smirks as he looks at her.

 

Cole: “So is this what you wanted? Do you need to be that much of the centre of attention? Maybe Kayl was right and you learned from Shilo to make sure the world focuses on you.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Cole: “Well too bad that come Rise to Greatness…and this is the part you want to hear…I am going to end all of your hopes of being a big deal because that championship belt that sits on your shoulder will be coming home with me and Siouxsie. I will be the new United States Champion.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Cole: “And I don’t even have to worry about talking for an hour trying to prove it to you. I just have to go back a couple of weeks to Supreme Saturday and the whole world saw me pin your shoulders to the mat. If your title was one the line, I would be standing here as champion and this Sunday, you’d be challenging me!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Cole: “I’m not worry about Kayl either as he doesn’t even have the stones to get in this ring with me. He walked away on Supreme Saturday and he can make whatever BS excuse he wants. He knows, just like you know, I am better than you and in just a few days, I’m going to have the gold to prove it!”

 

Marina: “Well Collin…even you can get lucky at some point, but I have a simple question for you…when are you going to win the big one…”

 

The crowd roars as Collin just looks at Marina and scoffs a bit.

 

“THIS IS KAYL TV!”

 

The crowd roars and then boos as “Sound of Madness” plays throughout the arena. The music plays for a few moments before the Kayl TV logo comes up on the big screen and we then see a shot of Devon Kayl, with Skylar Desoubrais and Brittany Kayl, seated presumably backstage. The crowd boos upon seeing them.

 

Kayl: “I’m sorry I couldn’t be out there to cater to your desire to have me face to face with you. The fact is, I owe you nothing. But even still, just for fun, here is a Kayl TV exclusive.”

 

The crowd boos. We cut to see Marina off to the side, presumably to watch Cole as Marina watches the screen as does Cole.

 

Kayl: “So while Cole will jump when you ask how high, I don’t have to really say anything to your face. I could say you’re butt ugly. That you’re going to lose the title. Or more importantly, what I’ve said every day since Taking Hold of the Flame…you are holding the US Championship and you are getting the opportunities because you’ve done a fantastic job of riding Shilo’s ass to the top and no one has pushed you off. Well, I’m that person!”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Kayl: “So Marina, remember this moment. It’s going to be the last time you’re going to get to stand in the ring and people are going to care about you, unless you’re holding Shilo’s microphone and it looks like he can talk again so you can go back to the shadows. Collin…good for you thinking you’ve got something. The fact is…I’m the Star of Tomorrow…I was born to be champion and this Sunday…I get back the SCW United States Championship!”

 

Kayl smiles as the crowd boos. Cole and Marina just scoff as Kayl’s face goes off the screen. The crowd just boos as “Sound of Madness” plays throughout the arena. The camera focuses on Marina and Cole both who just scoff at the sheer gall of Kayl.

 

Sharper: “Kayl doesn’t even come out to the ring.”

 

Knots: “He’s got a point.”

 

Sharper: “Please…he’s not shown up for anything in the last two months. He’s got a US Championship match and he’s ducking challenging. This is your future champion?”

 

Knots: “May very well be. May very well be!”

 

The crowd continue to boo before we cut backstage.

The scene opens up backstage to see Regan Street with her cat o’nail tails just seated on a storage crate in one of the hallways. The crowd boos seeing her before we then see Dylan Howell walk up to her. The crowd boos some more.

 

Howell: “So here you are?”

 

Regan: “What do you want?”

 

Howell: “Look, I’m sorry about all of this. But you’re always going to have me watching your back.”

 

Regan scoffs a bit.

 

Howell: “I mean it…I believe you should be World Champion and I’m going to make sure that you get your shot. If I have piss off everyone until you get one, it’s going to happen.”

 

Regan: “Oh I know…I know…”

 

Howell: “And if Trinity or Kennedy don’t understand that you’re dealing with Brittany and can’t watch CHBK…their loss.”

 

Regan gets up.

 

Howell: “Even we’ve had our issues, but I’m not going to ditch you. I’m going to make sure all is good.”

 

Regan: “Yeah…yeah…”

 

Regan turns and walks off as Howell just watches her walk off. Howell just shakes his head as he watches Regan leave and we cut to commercial.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown opens up backstage as we see Brittany Lohan with Typhoid Mary walking backstage. The crowd roars seeing her. A few moments as she walks before turning the corner and walking into Matt Hodges. Hodges just looks at her as the crowd cheers. Hodges’ manager then comes in.

 

Lohan: “Oh hello Matt.”

 

Manager: “Mr. Hodges would just like to let you know that what you pulled on Supreme Saturday…watch your back…because, much like Mr. Howell will find out this Sunday, you’re going to end up getting yours soon enough and Hodges will have no problem in dumping you on your ass like you did to him.”

 

Lohan just laughs as Mary smirks.

 

Lohan: “Well Matt…I can’t wait to see you try.”

 

Lohan then steps around him and walks off as Mary just smiles at Hodges as walks past. Hodges watches them as his manager just shakes his head. We then return to ringside.

"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 and roars as from the growing mist of fog walks out The Rising Phoenix, Christian Savior holding a sledgehammer. 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 walks 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 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. He then drops down and asks for a microphone as he looks at the sledgehammer in his hand.

 

Sharper: “Christian Savior and Thirteen will meet this Sunday. Eighteen months in the making. Savior will look to finally get vengeance for this rivalry that started back in 2011!”

 

Knots: “Yeah. And since then, Thirteen’s been Adrenaline Champion, World Champion and put Savior on the shelf! That’s a solid year!”

 

Savior is handed the microphone. He takes it and walks around the ring as the crowd cheers for him. Savior just smiles before taking a moment and then starting.

 

Savior: “Eighteen months in the making. A year and a half. A year and a half ago, it started with this…”

 

Savior holds up the sledgehammer.

 

Savior: “You Thirteen, with your driver…William Mason…heh…think about that…drove by me and nailed me in the knee with a sledgehammer just like this.”

 

Savior then throws the microphone down.

 

Savior: “You took away nearly seven months from the career…from my life…seven painful, gruelling months that nearly did destroy me. But I was driven to come back just so I could spear you and take you out at Rise to Greatness last year!”

 

The crowd roars. Savior pauses.

 

Savior: “And since then, we’ve gotten our chances to get our hands on each other. Even for the SCW World Championship. Which you won…and you choked me out…and you have rubbed in my face since. Your reign was longer than mine. You’ve made more of an impact than me. You’ve done it all. Sure, you’ve managed to get me down, but you’ve not put me out. See, Thirteen, I have been through it all in my career. This Saturday, I’m going to be enshrined in the SCW Hall of Fame…an honour I give a damn about…but there’s one problem…”

 

Savior pauses.

 

Savior: “I haven’t given you the ass-kicking you deserve. Quite simply, I want to watch you enter that ring and bam! Spear. You get up. Bam! Spear. You blink! Bam! Spear. And maybe I can give you just a fraction of all of the pain and suffering you gave me. Maybe I can make you have to sit on the shelf and wonder if you can get back into the ring. MAYBE…just maybe…I can ruin your life just for a bit. You don’t know the anger and hatred that I have for you. The sad thing…I almost respect you for what you’ve done…I was the omnipotent opportunist…I was the guy who did just what you did. But this Sunday…I won’t need the opportunity. I’m creating it and just like you knew this was far from over, Rise to Greatness. It will end!”

 

As Savior finishes, the lights in the arena go out, prompting a small surprised pop from the fans. The opening of "Hell" by Disturbed starts to play as the entire arena slowly becomes bathed in a mixture of red and purple lights and the entire stage is covered in a heavy cloud of smoke. The Tron is showing a clip of a hooded figure walking through a city scene of pure chaos underneath a blood red sky, unfazed by the people frantically running around him, ignoring their fighting and looting and desperate attempts to flee as he wanders past all the burning buildings and rubble, as well as the fallen bodies of those who couldn't get to safety. The entire scene looks disturbing as some of the younger fans try to hide their eyes. The figure on the Tron suddenly stops and turns to stare out at the fans through the screen before he slowly begins to push back his hood...

#Rrwoooaaaw!#

As that roar blasts through the PA system, startling quite a few fans in the process, and the main part of the song kicks in, flames erupt from the stage as the smoke begins to disappear. The image on the Tron now shifts to show scenes of the chaos caused by the Angel of Death throughout not only SCW, but his entire career as well, intermixed with in-ring action and shots of him raising a title belt over his head, often being a bloody mess as he does so. As the lyrics start and the smoke completely fades, a figure wearing a hooded cloak becomes visible. With a sick smirk visible from under the hood the figure begins to slowly move down the ramp towards the ring, the fans erupting into heavy jeers as they already know who is under the cloak. When he reaches ringside, the figure leaps up onto the apron and steps between the ropes before pulling the cloak off and throwing it out of the ring, revealing himself to be none other than Thirteen. Thirteen looks at Savior as Savior glares at him. Thirteen then enters the ring and walks right past him, intentionally turning his back to him to get a microphone.

 

Sharper: “Thirteen coming to the ring.”

 

Knots: “And look…he doesn’t care about Savior. He just walked past him.”

 

Sharper: “Thirteen’s smirk has not left his face. Savior’s glare has not left his.”

 

Thirteen is handed a microphone and he turns to Savior. The crowd boos him and a “Spear!” chant begins to come from the crowd. Savior just watches Thirteen as Thirteen turns to him.

 

Thirteen: “Feel better now? All the hatred, it’s coming to a culmination. Eighteen months…it will all end this Sunday. Feeling better?’

 

Savior just looks at Thirteen.

 

Thirteen: “The sledgehammer shot to the knee. Knowing you were always second best to me. Knowing that in those eighteen months, I made a bigger impact than you have.”

 

Savior just continues to glare at him.

 

Thirteen: “And as you pointed out, I have always bested you. So what makes you think this Sunday will be any different? Have you thought about that? What makes you think you’re going to accomplish anything except another loss on a big stage to me…Spearing me through a table…that’s not going to get it done. Me choking you out…that’s certainly not going to get it done…”

 

Thirteen pauses.

 

Thirteen: “So Christian, since you used to be the Omnipotent Opportunist…and you just said you’re going to create it…I’ll give you that opportunity.”

 

Thirteen then turns around so his back is to Savior.

 

Thirteen: “You brought the sledgehammer. You’ve got the spear…take your shot!”

 

The crowd boos as Thirteen then extends his arms to further prove he won’t block it. Savior just looks at the sledgehammer and then to Thirteen. The crowd cheers. A “Spear!” chant starts up again.

 

Thirteen: “Come on Savior! You’re not going to get a chance like this, this Sunday!”

 

The crowd keeps chanting. Savior just looks at him before looking down and taking a deep breath.

 

Savior: “I’m not going to jump you from behind like you did me. When I beat you Thirteen, you’re going to see it coming from a mile away…”

 

Thirteen turns and smiles.

 

Thirteen: “Christian…when else have you had that chance…Because all I see is someone that turned down the only sure thing he’ll have. Because your spear hasn’t kept me down for long, but when I’ve choked you out…it’s been over for you. And this Sunday, I’ll make sure you won’t suffer anywhere near as long as you have thus far.”

 

Thirteen then puts down the microphone before walking to the ropes and exiting to the floor. He then turns and starts to make his way to the back. Savior just watches him leave as the crowd boos. The camera just shows Thirteen walking off.

 

Knots: “Savior’s an idiot. Why the hell would you turn down a free shot like that?”

 

Sharper: “Pride.”

 

Knots: “Well pride goeth before the fall.”

 

Sharper: “Savior’s hoping that’s not the case at Rise to Greatness…”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up in the office of Mr. D to see William Mason walking into the room. The crowd cheers a bit as Mr. D looks up at him.

 

Mr. D: “Mr. Mason…what can I do for you?”

 

Mason looks at Desmond Drake who is with him and then Mr. D.

 

Mason: “A lot actually…”

 

Mr. D: “Well then what is it?”

 

Mason: “Look…I don’t deserve this opportunity-“

 

Mr. D: “Then I’ll take you out of the match.”

 

Mason: “No….I just think Kelcey deserve it more.”

 

Mr. D pauses.

 

Drake: “Well she’s already booked. In that six person  tag.”

 

Mr. D: “Exactly.”

 

Mason: “But she should be going for the US Championship. Not Kayl. Not Cole.”

 

Mr. D: “Stop right there. If you’re going to come in here and question all of my decisions, you may want to just stop because well, you’re lucky I’m even talking to you at all given what happened a year and a half ago.”

 

Mason just glares at Mr. D.

 

Mr. D: “Secondly, if you win, I don’t give a damn what you do with the shot. Just note this…if you hand it off, I’ll be thinking twice next time I even consider anything for you.”

 

Mason just looks at Mr. D and glares before turning and walking off.

 

Drake: “I don’t understand how he doesn’t want the shot.”

 

Mr. D: “That’s why figuring out what matters to you more…helping your friends or helping yourself matters more.”

 

Drake: “Hmmm…”

 

Mr. D just sits down as we cut to ringside.

Aaron Joseph vs. A$AP Scrappy

 

Aaron Joseph is seen standing in the ring, warming up.

 

Sharper: “Aaron Joseph coming off a shocking win against Damian Angel. He’s going to look to continue that going.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but he’s got to deal with Scrappy and his bodyguard.”

"Survival Tactics" by Joey Bada$$ hits the pa system and out comes A$AP Scrappy hyper as hell in his black wifebeater, black jean shorts, black skully, and black jordans. A$AP Smash follows him. Jumping up in down from side to side smacked fans hands as Scrappy skips down the entrance ramp. He sprints and slides under the bottom rope before jumping up on the top rope trying to pump up the crowd beating on his chest before throwing his skully out into the crowd and jumping off the top rope awaiting the bell to ring.

 

Sharper: “Scrappy is ready to go here. Smash on the floor in case Chef Cummings does something.”

 

Knots: “Cummings won’t do anything. He’s too sophisticated for such an assault.”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure. Regardless, Scrappy is going to prepare to take on Aaron Joseph here.”

 

The bell sounds and Scrappy and Joseph look at each other. Scrappy just tells Joseph to come at him and Joseph obliges and kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a chop before pushing Scrappy to the ropes and firing him off. Scrappy bounces off the ropes and Joseph goes for a clothesline. Scrappy ducks and both turn to each other and Scrappy nails Joseph with a hard right and then another before kicking him in the ribs. He then whips Joseph into the ropes.

Joseph gets up as Scrappy stirs and Joseph hits a back suplex. He then rolls over and goes to the legs of Scrappy. He lifts them up before hitting a leg drop between his legs. He then rolls over and Scrappy winces. Joseph goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Oh! What a suplex. Right up and over and Scrappy with no time to react.”

 

Knots: “Dropped him on his head too.”

 

Sharper: “And Scrappy may be in big trouble. Aaron Joseph may be about to get onto a winning streak!”

 

Joseph starts to get up. He looks around before exiting to the apron. He looks at Scrappy and smiles as he then climbs up to the top rope. He looks around before he stands up and goes for the Crash and Burn. Scrappy rolls out of the way.

Scrappy: “Cummings! I’m comin’ for you this Saturday!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer for him. He then celebrates before we cut backstage.

The scene opens up backstage and we see Jessica Winters standing at the SCW  interview area with Damian Angel. The crowd roars seeing him and Angel just smirks.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Damian Angel and Damian, in a bit of a surprise, we’re heading into Rise to Greatness weekend and you’re not booked for any of the shows.”

 

Damian scoffs a bit.

 

Jessica: “Are you in any way concerned about this?”

 

Damian: “Do I look concerned?”

 

Damian pauses.

 

Damian: “See Jessica, maybe this was just as I planned it. Much like at Taking Hold of the Flame…I can be flexible. I can do what I wish. I can make a difference as I deem it necessary. See, everyone can worry about revenge…or a opportunity…or securing a legacy. I.”

 

Damian smiles.

 

Damian: “I can focus on making a change.”

 

Just then, Madison Chase shows up and looks at Damian Angel before just shaking her head.

 

Chase: “Who the hell are you? Wait…you’re getting an interview! I don’t even know who you are! Yo! You-hooo…interview me!”

 

Damian: “Excuse me…”

 

Chase: “Move aside old man! Madison Chase is here and I’m going to give YOU an exclusive.”

 

Jessica: “Excuse me?”

 

Chase: “God! Everyone here is gross! Needing to be excused. Maybe you don’t deserve my exclusive! I was just going to say that I was going to make sure Rise to Greatness is a celebration of me! Since I’m not booked-“

 

Damian: “Neither am I…and I’ve known you for three seconds and I think it’s a good thing you’re not booked.”

 

Chase: “Please! I’m adorable! You…you…you just look old!”

 

Chase then turns and walks off. Damian watches her leave.

 

Damian: “Sometimes I wish things didn’t change…”

 

Damian just walks off as the scene fades to black.

Mr. Lament vs. Jackson Adams

 

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: “Mr. Lament has had a rough go of things lately and he’s going to hope to turn things around.”

 

Knots: “Well Jake Starr beat him, but he gave it a good go against Greg Cherry. No harm there. The guy…he’s learning!”

 

Sharper: “That he is.”

 

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 Entrance -Tron 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.

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

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, as he walks to the ring, his music cuts out suddenly. Jackson stops and turns back.

 

‘I am done pretending’

The crowd roars before Brittany Lohan walks out from the back with Typhoid Mary by her side. The crowd continues to cheer as Adams just looks at Lohan. Lohan starts to walk towards the ring and Adams just looks at her before going to nail her with a hard right, but Lohan blocks it and grabs him by the throat and just throws him down with a choke throw. Mary smirks as Lohan then turns and continues on her to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Oh boy! Lohan on her way to the ring and I don’t think she cares about Adams or Lament!”

 

Knots: “If I’m Lament, I get out of there. Let the professionals handle this one!”

Lohan continues on her way as Adams starts to get up and just waves her off before storming to the back. Lament just looks in the ring as Lohan walks over to the ring and grabs the top rope. She then climbs up to the apron and enters the ring. She looks at Lament who slowly backs up and just exits the ring. Lohan smirks as Mary enters the ring. Lohan then walks over and demands a microphone as Mary walks around the ring. Lohan is handed a microphone. She takes it as Lament walks around the ring and starts to walk to the back.

 

Lohan: “Regan!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Lohan: “You know…after Supreme Saturday…I think it’s time I remind you what you’re in for!”

 

Lohan then drops the microphone and without any delay, the lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the center of the stage. After a few seconds the screens display a countdown.

The crowd roars as Regan Street then storms out from the back. She continues on her way to the ring, cat o’nine tails in her hands. She then runs down and slides in. She gets up and Lohan nails her with a hard right. Regan nails her with the whip to the side. Lohan nails her again and Regan whips her again. Lohan nails her yet again and Regan retaliates with another whipping shot. Lohan winces and spins around and Regan goes for an overhead shot, but Lohan ducks and Regan turns around and Lohan boots her in the face. Mary slowly exits the ring.

 

Sharper: “What a boot! Regan coming down! This is a brawl and this is what it’s going to be like this Sunday!”

 

Knots: “Last Man/Woman Standing!”

 

Sharper: “Last Woman Standing!”

 

Lohan then turns and looks at Regan before dropping down into a mount and hammering away at her with hard right hands. The crowd roars as Lohan just nails Regan with slow, methodical shots. Regan covers up and Lohan just nails her with shot after shot after shot. Lohan then gets up and walks around before looking at the cat o’nine tails and smiling as she lifts it up. Regan rolls over and her nose looks to be broken as blood is coming out. Regan gets up and Lohan then turns and whips her hard in the chest. Regan hits the mat and yells out. Lohan smiles as she then turns and whips Regan again. Regan rolls over and starts to get up. She then rolls to the floor. Lohan then drops down and follows her and uses the whip to choke Regan. Regan struggles as the blood coming from her nose is now clearly visible.

 

Knots: “Oh no! Her nose!”

 

Sharper: “Lohan drawing blood and busting her open. She may have broken Regan’s nose! Regan wants to get to Lohan so badly that she could be killing her chances. Add that she’s got to be all over the place given what happened with Trinity to start!”

 

Lohan continues to choke Regan and Lohan then spins her around. She then turns and goes to drive Regan into the ringpost, but Regan blocks it. She then kicks Lohan in the knee and then drives Lohan face first into the ringpost. She then grabs her again and drives her in again. The crowd ohs. Lohan falls to her knees. Regan then backs up and grabs her and drives her face first yet again. Lohan falls over. Regan then looks around as Lohan rolls over, a cut having opened over her eyes.

 

Knots: “Lohan’s busted now!”

 

Sharper: “My God! This is bloody. This is violent! And they two are going to meet for the Women’s Champion this Sunday!”

 

Regan then walks around before grabbing the cat o’nine tails before turning and whipping Lohan repeatedly in the back. The crowd roars before starting to boo as Regan just keeps whipping her. We then see officials and security run out from the back. The crowd boos seeing them and they run around the ring and past Regan as Mary just looks on. The officials get between Regan and Lohan. Lohan rolls over, her shirt coming up a bit, showing the welts on her back from the whip. She slowly gets up, wincing a bit before the two of them lock eyes. The crowd roars seeing them.

 

Sharper: “Oh man! Those two…it’s going to come to a head. It’s all over this Sunday. No rematches. Just these two going at it with one simple rule…keep your opponent down for a count of ten!”

 

Knots: “And Lohan! That’s your future! Regan is going to kick your ass!”

 

Sharper: “We’ll see about that. Lohan’s had her moments too!”

 

Lohan and Street continue to just stare at each other as Regan yells at Lohan. The crowd starts to chant “Let them fight!” as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as we see Mr. Lament walking backstage with Front Desk Clerk. The two walk down the hallway before Lament bumps into Joss Morrison. Lament gets up.

 

Lament: “Look out-“

 

Morrison: “How about you look out where you’re going?! Damn scrub. In Japan, they’d ring you up.”

 

Lament just turns away.

 

Lament: “God…this is nothing-“

 

Morrison: “What?”

 

Lament just looks away before turning. Morrison however spins him around.

 

Morrison: “What did you say?”

 

Allison Ford then appears, having been just a few feet away.

 

Ford: “Whoa…Joss…Joss, settle down.”

 

Morrison: “No…this scrub was saying something to me.”

 

Front Desk Clerk: “He was saying nothing-“

 

Morrison: “B.S!”

 

Lament then shoves him back.

 

Lament: “I’m sick of this…I’m sick of being a stepstool! Screw off!”

 

Lament then turns and storms off as Front Desk Clerk looks a bit shocked and then they walk off as Morrison just looks at Lament shocked. We then cut to the ring.

The scene opens up as the arena’s lights dim down to just s shimmer as Final Test by Charlie Clouser hit’s over the PA System sending the crowd into a frenzy of boo’s as all eyes focus onto the stage area, namely the tron which springs to life. We see a candle flickering on an old oak desk, while a pair of hands unravel what looks like a parchement and begins to scribbled down with a feather various words...

Wrath, Greed, Envy...

Cue footage of Blitzkrieg assualting Lucas Knight at the EOTYS and then going up against various opponents he has faced in the past, that then switches to Tatum McGraws hellacious career in Japan before switching to the stage entrance where Aiken walks out with both Tatum and Blitzkrieg by his side, the crowds jeers getting louder possibly due to their envy as the arena’s lights start to come back on...

Gluttony, Sloth, Lust...

The three look out to the crowd, Aiken and Tatum then smirk before walking down towards the ring, Blitzkrieg following suit. Fans chant obscenities at the trio but they pay no heed as Aiken and Tatum both slide into the ring and taking a corner each as Blitzkrieg pulls himself up onto the apron and steps over the top rope before moving inbetween. Aiken turns to face Tatum and points towards her as she does the same and points towards him. Blitzkrieg lets off a roar of aggression as he forms and X with his arms as if he were bound by invisible chains. Then and only then the final sin appears on the tron, the one many say is the deadiliest of them all...

Pride...

Aiken and Tatum step down from their corner and along with Blitz head to their side of the ring, ready and waiting for their opponents.

 

Sharper: “Well Tatum McGraw and Blitzkrieg are out here.”

 

Knots: “Where’s Rachel?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. But I don’t like this. And Tatum and Blitzkrieg are ready for a match. I really don’t like this.”

 

Blitzkrieg exits the ring and then turns and looks under the ring. He then pulls out a chair and throws it into the ring. The crowd roars. Blitzkrieg turns and grabs a table and pulls it out and slides it into the ring. Tatum grabs it and places it in the corner. He then turns and pulls out a second table and starts to unfold the legs. In the ring, we then see Aiken tap his cane as Tatum McGraw stands in the ring.

 

Aiken: “Ladies and gentlemen, we told the world that you would bear witness to a bloodletting. And since SCW seems to have forgotten about their Underground division, we have elected to remind you all of what it stands for. We are going to allow three unknowns…to elevate their careers into mere legends just days before SCW’s greatest event…Tatum McGraw will face them all with the Underground Championship on the line…and James, Christy and Kelcey…bear witness to your future.”

 

Sharper: “What?”

 

Blitzkrieg sets up the table before he then turns and grabs a bat wrapped in barbed wire in the ring. The crowd roars before Aiken turns to the entrance way.

 

Aiken: “Bring them out!”

 

Aiken turns and points to the entrance way before we see three individuals, all dressed in wrestling gear, timidly walking out from the back. They take a few steps before one glances backwards and we see Rachel Foxx, with her sledgehammer standing behind them. They then start to make their way to the ring as Rachel pokes one of them in the back. They start to make their way to the ring before getting to the bottom of the rampway. Rachel then grabs one and pushes them. They stumble forward and Blitzkrieg then enters the ring. Tatum smiles as the one individual rolls into the ring. Tatum then grabs them and pulls them up before drilling them in the jaw with a vicious knee. The crowd ohs. The man crumbles. She knees him again and again. The man goes limp and Tatum then turns before Blitzkrieg unfolds the steel chair. Tatum turns to him and Aiken just laughs as Rachel smiles and Tatum lifts him up before turning him to Blitzkrieg and Blitzkrieg nails him in the head with the barbed wire bat. The crowd ohs The man gets up, starting to bleed as Blitzkrieg jerks him up before launching him into the air and then turning and throwing him through the table in the corner. The crowd ohs as the man just ends up in a heap.

 

Sharper: “My God!”

 

Rachel then grabs another one and shoves them into the ring as the other one tries to move away. Rachel however grabs them by the arm and pulls them into the head of her sledgehammer. He stumbles before Rachel grabs him and lifts him up and into the ring. Tatum grabs the other one in the ring and snapmares him over and right into Blitzkrieg who hoists him up by the throat before turning and hitting a double-handed chokeslam over the top rope through the table on the floor. The crowd ohs. Tatum then grabs the third as Rachel rolls in after and scoops him up. She turns and jumps up before hitting the Dead in Tombstone into the seat of the chair. The chair crumples as the crowd ohs and Tatum goes for the pin as Rachel counts.

2!

The crowd boos as Tatum rolls off and Tatum smiles. Aiken smirks before Rachel hands Tatum back her Underground Championship.

 

Sharper: “Unbelievable here. We’re seeing Rachel Foxx hand the title to Tatum McGraw.”

 

Knots: “You think they’re on the same page!”

 

Sharper: “What else have they been on the same page for? These two used to hate each other. This is the most violent team I’ve seen!”

 

Just then, we see James Evans run out from the back. Several officials run out behind him. He goes to slide into the ring and Rachel and Tatum turn and stomp at him. The crowd roars as James takes a number of stomps before he is pulled out by officials who hold him back. Aiken just smiles before Tatum, Blitzkrieg and Rachel stand in the ring. James keeps trying to get at the ring. We then see Christy Matthews and Pete Ebdon walk out from the back before a few moments pass and we see Kelcey Wallace walk out and look down at the ring with El Cuchillo next to her.

 

Sharper: “Those six…they’re going to be in the same ring this Sunday. They all have reason for revenge against Rachel Foxx and Cardinal Sin!”

 

Knots: “But the question is…can they put a dent into that?!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know…but my God…I just thank God it’s a normal match and nothing more sinister!”

 

Knots: “With those guys…”

 

Sharper: “I just hope…”

 

The crowd roars as James Evans continues to try and get to the ring before the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage to see James Evans being calmed down by officials as Christy Matthews and Pete Ebdon head over to him. James just turns away.

 

James: “I’m not talking to either of you. Don’t give a damn about either of you.”

 

Christy: “We’re on the same side-“

 

James: “You couldn’t even help him. Rachel took him out and you want to sit there and help him after the fact…I won’t need you…I don’t need you…this Sunday….Rachel’s mine…She’s mine!”

 

James turns and walks off as Christy and Pete just turn to each other. We then cut back to ringside.

“This is How a Heart Breaks” starts to play and the crowd roars. A few moments pass before we see CHBK walk out from the back with Ravyn Taylor. He looks around and smiles as he just enjoys the loud reaction from his home country fans. He turns to Ravyn and says something to her. He then extends his arm, revealing a microphone as he looks around.

 

CHBK: “As everyone knows, in a few short days, Rise to Greatness will be coming home to Toronto and I will be competing for the opportunity to have a wonderful night. Now, I have many of them. I’ve had many of them, but really, at this point, it’s always nice to have something new. Isn’t that right Trinity?”

 

Sharper: “He makes me sick.”

 

Knots: “He’s awesome!”

 

CHBK smirks.

 

CHBK: “Now, Trinity, while you’re out here worried about yelling at Regan, because that’s where your priorities should lie, allow me instead to spend some time and let you know what will be on the horizon for you, Trinity.”

 

CHBK smiles as he turns back and points to the big screen.

 

Sharper: “What the hell is this?”

 

A few moments pass before we see iPhone shot footage of CHBK inside a fancy hotel room. He just smiles.

 

CHBK: “Ah, Trinity…and for you Simon, just so you know that I’m going to treat her wonderfully in two weeks when I get my lovely evening out with her and the beautiful Ravyn Taylor.”

 

CHBK then turns and looks at the room as the camera moves, showing the entire room.

 

CHBK: “Come over here…look at this view.”

 

The camera moves over and looks out the window, showing it in the middle of the day, as the sun shines in.

 

CHBK: “Wonderful view…this is of Montreal, but well, you get the point. Only the best for someone of my stature. No more Econolodge and Motel 8’s for you Trinity. Well for one night. Don’t get too excited. This is what happens when you spend the night with someone who isn’t a failure, has made a lot of money and doesn’t waste it on pointless crap…Sorry, I forgot that’s what you teach some of your pupils. Well, it’s fine. Just a philosophy issue.”

 

CHBK turns around and then walks over to the bed and leans over it.

 

CHBK: “And this…well, don’t worry, only the best. Very comfortable…see…”

 

CHBK punches it, showing the bounce in the mattress.

 

CHBK: “Something comparable or even better, but well, we get even better than that. Because well, I’m going to make sure you get one of the finest meals you’ve ever had. No, don’t worry, Simon Lyman won’t be burning the hot dogs on this one. Nor will he be rolling over and just letting some fast food joint do the work for him. And after that…the piece de resistance…”

 

CHBK walks into the bathroom, the camera following him. We then see candles all around the Jacuzzi bathtub in the hotel room.

 

CHBK: “A wonderful time, intimate setting…just the…three of us….”

 

Just then, we cut away from the video to the arena as the crowd roars. We see Simon Lyman standing with Trinity with him. Ravyn and CHBK backing away on the rampway.

 

Sharper: “Wait a minute! Simon! Trinity!”

 

Knots: “Come on officials! You were out earlier!”

 

CHBK looks at Simon and has his hands up. Simon just looks at him and Trinity just glares at both him and Ravyn. CHBK then looks around before turning to Ravyn. Ravyn backs away and CHBK goes to nail Simon with the microphone. Simon blocks it and nails CHBK with a hard right. CHBK falls back and rolls back and part way down the rampway. He gets up and Lyman starts to run after him. CHBK and Ravyn get up and run around the ring and both hop over the barricade. CHBK and Ravyn then jog through the crowd. CHBK just laughs a bit as Simon and Trinity stop at the barricade and glare at them.

 

Sharper: “He got a shot in! But this Sunday…he’s going to get more than that!”

 

Knots: “Ha! Let’s see him try! CHBK is getting right under his skin!”

 

Sharper: “We thought that may be the case with Trinity…she did well on Supreme Saturday!”

 

Knots: “Yeah…but this Simon…and this is CHBK!”

 

The crowd boos as CHBK and Ravyn can be seen still jogging through the crowd. Simon and Trinity just watch them, clearly trying to contain themselves.

“Rescue Me” then starts to play and the Breakdown logo comes up as we then see a shot the Next Level.

 

Sharper: “Well folks. When we return, the Next Level are going to come out and you know the Cashmere Mafia and the IWC will be watching.”

 

Knots: “Oh yeah. Time for the future Tag Team Champions to get us ready for their return to supremacy!”

 

Sharper: “We’ll hear from them…next!”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

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. Throwing his arms up, Helms jumps in the air and does the Self High Five and as he brings his hands apart fireworks erupt from either side of the ramp, going all the way down to the ring before the house lights come back on.

Not wanting to be outdone, Valentine steps in front of Helms and with a smirk on his face he crosses his arms over his chest so his hands are almost touching his shoulders before flinging them apart, making beckoning movements with his hands, fireworks erupting from the stage with each gesture, as he cocks his head to the side slightly. After their burst of one-upmanship, the pair nod at one another, smirking smugly, before sprinting down to the ring jumping up and sliding under the ropes. Once in the ring, both men take a separate corner and pose for the fans who are still booing wildly, before jumping down and switching corners, repeating the process. Hopping down from the ring posts, the showboating practically over with, both men stand in the centre of the ring, ready for whatever is ahead of them. Valentine, smirking and looking slyly across at Helms, mocks his friend a little by doing a Self High Five of his own, causing more fireworks to erupt from the stage. Smiling and shaking his head, David looks back at his partner before unleashing a Self High Five of his own, showing him how it’s done as - once again - fireworks shoot out of the stage at the top of the entrance ramp. Laughing, the pair high five before standing side by side and waiting for their opponents, the crowds boos still echoing around the room.

 

Sharper: “Tommy Valentine and David Helms, they look confident. The probably feel it.”

 

Knots: “It’s a match that plays to their strengths. I don’t know why the Cashmere Mafia wanted TLC. Valentine and Helms are Hardcore icons!”

 

Helms and Valentine then walk over to the corner and ask for a microphones. Tommy and Helms are both handed one and they turn and walk back over to the middle of the ring.

 

Tommy: “In just a few days, we pretty much can coast to the World Tag Team Championships and in the process, destroy whatever pathetic hopes the IWC may have.”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Tommy: “Because now we are looking at those Tag Team Championship belts being raised high above the ring…now David….can you tell the world where else we may have deal with something like that at Rise to Greatness?”

 

Helms: “Hmmm…let me think….oh yeah, the Scaffold Scramble.”

 

Tommy: “That’s right. And do you think we’ve got a history with either tables, ladders or chairs?”

 

Helms: “Hmmm…I’m thinking, I’m thinking…oh yeah, we’re both former Underground Champions.”

 

Tommy: “Exactly and see, this is where it looks like our Tag Team Champions don’t understand much. Because quite frankly, poor judgment time and time again…”

 

Helms: “First you leave the titles backstage….now you’re offering challenges that to be honest, you really shouldn’t be doing. Apparently you want us to take those titles from you and fortunately, we’re more than happy to do that. So that way, we can have the SCW World Tag Team Championships held by someone who will honour them as they should and sadly, Kennedy…Dawn…more than even you two care about your nails!”

 

The crowd boos as Helms and Tommy smirk. Just then “Hot Like Wow” starts to play. The crowd roars as Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan walk out from the back. They aren’t holding the SCW World Tag Team Championships which were destroyed. Helms and Valentine turn to them as they start to make their way to the ring.

 

Sharper: “The World Tag Team Champions and they’re not smiling. They’re dead serious.”

 

Knots: “They don’t have the belts again!”

 

Sharper: “That’s because right now, they’re just pieces of leather. At Rise to Greatness, we’re getting new SCW Tag Team Championship belts.”

 

Knots: “Probably just worried the old one’s clash.”

 

Kennedy and Dawn walk to the ring and walk up the steel steps and enter the ring. Both just glare at David and Tommy as they grab microphones and turn around to David Helms and Tommy Valentine. Helms and Tommy just smirk as Kennedy looks at them and Dawn starts.

 

Dawn: “Well, that’s nice and all. You two are just so confident. You have to now start running interference for CHBK. Allow him to go after Trinity.”

 

Helms just turns away.

 

Dawn: “No…you don’t get to laugh this off. We were proud to make this about competition. But you two keep slapping us in the face just because you can. Let’s get this through you’re heads…WE BEAT YOU for those tag titles!”

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Dawn: “And since you want to make it personal, we’re now more bound and determined to take a match you two are so happy to remind the world that you’re set for it. Nevermind the fact that you’re older…your hurting…you’re not quite as agile as you used to be…and we’re going to beat you in it. And in the process, we’re going to take those IWC Tag Titles from those IWC creeps just because we can.”

 

Tommy: “Well that’s night Dawn…Lohan? Street? What are you now? Oh yeah, you’re not right in with them where apparently you don’t understand business. We do. Our business…it’s winning championships and proving we’re the best.”

 

Helms: “Exactly. I remember all the talk about competition. All that talk about wanting to get to the top. Well, guess what, you’re there and it’s not all happiness and moonbeams. People are coming for your throat.”

 

Kennedy: “Good for you to point that out to us. Because I think more than both of you ever known, we’ve had that. With Hurse and Porno Lad…with Dark Fantasy…with you…This is why we wanted TLC. This is why we wanted to take it all and put it there. No flukes. It’s all about getting revenge on IWC…and before it was to give you two a shot too since we were happy to give you a rematch. But now…I think I’ve got the perfect thought…we’re going to wait until one of you has a chance to get those belts…rung by rung…and just like you wanted us to watch as CHBK took out Trinity and we’re going to love it when one of you has to watch other plummet from the top of that ladder and have their career shortened…you two can come up short again…just like last time.”

 

Just then, we suddenly see Porno Lad slide into the ring with a steel chair. He goes to nail David Helms, but Helms side steps and both he and Valentine and then Kennedy and Dawn go after him. Porno Lad trips up and falls to the floor, sending the chair there. Then we see Hurse come out from under the ring with a ladder. He pops up and turns and slides it in before getting up .All four turn around and Hurse lifts the ladder up and throws it at the heads of Helms, Valentine, Kennedy and Dawn. Dawn and Helms take the most of it and Kennedy and Valentine fall over and Porno Lad then nails Tommy in the face with the chair before turning and nailing Kennedy with it. They fall back as the crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Where did they come from?!”

 

Knots: “Holy crap! Hurse and Porno Lad just took out all four!”

 

Sharper: “With the ladder! With the chair! My God!”

 

The crowd boos. Helms and Dawn start to get up and Hurse exits the ring and drops down to the floor before laughing with Porno Lad. The camera gets up close to them as they point to the ring.

 

PL: “Didn’t even need the table!”

 

Hurse: “Morons! Say goodbye to the SCW Tag Titles!”

 

Hurse and PL walk back as Helms falls over to the ropes, holding his head. Dawn leans in the corner before turning and checking on Kennedy.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it. I think they were under the ring. They were laying in wait!”

 

Knots: “And they got everyone…dear God don’t let those morons get the titles!”

 

Sharper: “It could happen…my God it could happen…”

 

Hurse and PL continue to back up to the back.

“Rescue Me” then starts to play as the Breakdown logo comes up. We then see a shot of Rachel Foxx and then a shot of Jake Starr. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Well folks, big match about to come up here on Breakdown.”

 

Knots: “Stop saying well folks.”

 

Sharper: “I’m going to say what I want. Jake Starr and Rachel Foxx are going to go one on one…this is going to be a barnburner. That’s next here on Breakdown!”

 

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

 

4 Days Away!”

 

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

We see a shot of the outside of the Centre Bell in Montreal as the crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “A great night here in Montreal for Breakdown.”

 

Knots: “Yeah and I can’t wait to go out and enjoy some of the local bars.”

 

Sharper: “Well it’s going to be a time of celebration, but a lot of SCW action this weekend. A lot of to come.”

 

We then see a shot of the SCW schedule come up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “It all starts this Saturday at 8 p.m. EST where we see the official Rise to Greatness preview special. On that show, all three fatal four way contendership matches will take place and much more.”

 

Knots: “And right after that, we’re going to celebrate the induction of five individuals to the SCW Hall of Fame. The Class of 2013 will be inducted.”

 

Sharper: “And then after that, Sunday night at 6 p.m. EST, Sunday Night Aggression will all of the last minute news, notes and analysis. We’re going to look back at the history and get you ready for Rise to Greatness starting at 7 p.m. EST on pay per view.”

 

Knots: “Huge weekend. A lot of to go and if you’re in Toronto, Fan fest is going on.”

 

Sharper: “That’s right. It kicks off on Friday. A big weekend of SCW activities for Rise to Greatness X…the biggest event in history!”

Jake Starr vs. Rachel Foxx

 

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 is just days away from facing Greg Cherry and we know the Cherry Pit Crew is here so we know he’s got to be looking around.”

 

Knots: “And then add Rachel, with Tatum and Blitzkrieg. I think we may not see Jake get to Rise to Greatness!”

 

Sharper: “Starr is a fighter. I’m sure he’s been thinking about what he plans to do if Greg, Eddie and Jack come out here.”

 

Knots: “And Cardinal Sin?”

 

Sharper: “I’m sure he’s thought that out too.”

 

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. She ignores the boos of the crowd, seemingly lost in her own head as she reluctantly approaches the ring. Behind her, Jesse is smiling as she waves and blows kisses to the crowd. At the end of the ramp, Jesse skips up the steps and holds the ropes open for Rachel who slowly ducks under the ropes and into the ring. Jesse then jumps in the ring, skipping to the corner before climbing to the second rope and blowing a kiss to the crowd. Rachel however never looks up at the crowd. instead she hides her eyes behind her hood as she waits.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx, we saw her earlier, helping Tatum McGraw. I’m still shocked at how seamless those two are working together.”

 

Knots: “When you both agree that maiming someone is a great way to make a statement, it’s easy to communicate!”

 

Sharper: “This is true. Time to see what Rachel can do in the ring against a former World Champion in Jake Starr.”

 

The bell sounds and Rachel and Jake turn to each other. They start to circle and move toward each other and Rachel kicks Jake in the ribs before going for a side headlock. The crowd boos and Rachel pulls up. Jake starts to pull her back and fires her across the ring. Rachel bounces off the ropes and both run into each other. Neither fall. Both then run into the ropes and Jake goes for a clothesline. Rachel ducks and bounces off the other side and hits a flying clothesline. Jake gets back up and Rachel hits a dropkick. Jake hits the mat. Rachel goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

Jake kicks out. Both get up and Rachel chops Jake. The crowd woos. Rachel chops him again. More woos. He then fires him into the ropes. Jake bounces off the ropes and Rachel goes for a clothesline, but Jake slides under. He gets up and Rachel turns around and Jake kicks her in the ribs and hits a vertical suplex.

 

Sharper: “Nice suplex, short circuits Rachel’s strong start so far in this one.”

 

Knots: “Yeah, but gotta keep her there.”

 

Sharper: “Both back up and here we go.”

 

Starr hip tosses Rachel down. Rachel gets back up and Starr nails her with a hard right before pushing her into the ropes. He fires her into the ropes. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Starr back drops her down. Rachel gets back up and turns to Starr who scoop slams her down. Rachel gets back up and Starr grabs her by the head and runs her over into the corner, driving her face first into the top turnbuckle. She turns and Starr nails her with a couple of hard rights before whipping her across. Starr runs after and Rachel jumps up and floats over him. She spins around. Starr turns and runs at her and Rachel jumps up and hits a hurricanrana into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Starr counters by hooking her legs and forcing her back into a pin.

 

1!

Rachel kicks out. Both get up and Rachel goes for a clothesline, but Starr ducks and grabs her and hits a back suplex. He then gets up and hits a standing leg drop before going for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out. She rolls over and starts to get up. Starr follows her.

 

Sharper: “Rachel kicks out. Another nearfall. And they’re still going at it.”

 

Knots: “And both are just keeping on. No rest. No blinking. This is unreal.”

 

Sharper: “Well they both know they are known for their aggressiveness and no doubt it’s also a sign of respect. Neither wants to risk injury either this close to Rise to Greatness.”

 

Rachel turns and Starr nails her with a hard right. Starr kicks her in the ribs and pulls her out before hitting a snap suplex. Rachel winces and Starr turns and exits to the apron. He climbs up to the top rope. Rachel remains down and Starr dives off and hits a flying elbow. He goes for another pin attempt.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Rachel kicks out. Rachel rolls over and Starr grabs her and Rachel reaches up and rakes his eyes. Jake turns away as Rachel goes to the ropes. She then turns and runs over before hitting a running STO. The crowd ohs and Rachel goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jake kicks out. Both get up and Rachel grabs him and hits a Russian leg sweep. She gets up and then stomps him in the face and then the chest before stomping him several more times and walking around.

 

Sharper: “And there’s that aggressiveness.”

 

Knots: “Stomp at him some more. I always enjoy watching that!”

 

Rachel waits as Jake starts to stir and she runs over and dropkicks him in the side of the head. The crowd ohs and Jake falls back to the canvas. Rachel then turns and climbs to the middle rope before climbing to the top and hitting a moonsault onto Jake. The crowd ohs and Rachel hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Jake gets his shoulder up. Rachel then starts to get up and grabs Jake. She lifts him up and elbows him in the back of the head. She then turns and kicks him in the ribs and goes for the Foxx Girl Stunner, but Jake shoves her forward. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Jake hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Rachel rolls over in pain and Jake then runs over to her and clotheslines her over the top rope to the floor. The crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “Rachel Foxx sent to the floor. Jake Starr now has a decision. Does he go after her or take the moment and let her come to him?”

 

Knots: “Well is he going to do something stupid and go to the floor where Rachel pays rent monthly? It’s Jake, so probably.”

 

Sharper: “It looks like Jake is going to hang out in the ring. He wants Greg. He’s focusing there and risking injury to Rachel just isn’t worth it.”

 

Rachel starts to get up and the crowd roars as we then see James Evans bolt out from the back. James runs down the rampway and around the ring. Rachel gets up and backs away before turning and laughing as she turns and hops over the barricade.

 

Sharper: “James Evans on his way!”

 

Knots: “Rachel! Get out of here! Not worth to fight!”

 

Sharper: “I think she’s listening! I’m shocked! Rachel Foxx is bailing! I never thought I’d see that!”

 

Knots: “Tactics Sharper! Tactics!”

 

Rachel runs off as James hops over the barricade and chases after her. The referee in the ring is then shown as Jake Starr looks around, catching his breath. The referee then calls for the bell. The crowd roars as Jake Starr just shrugs. He then turns as he see Greg Cherry, Jack Campbell and Eddie Parker walking out from the back. Jake just drops down and walks over to the timekeeper’s table and grabs two chairs. He tosses one in the ring before folding up the other and rolling in.

 

Sharper: “I think Rachel Foxx has been counted out, but the bigger story now is Greg Cherry and the Pit Crew coming down!”

 

Knots: “And Jake goes for chairs! I told you on the A Show he would!”

 

Jake gets up and motions to them to come to the ring. Greg just stops and holds Eddie and Jack back. He just smirks as he points down. He just shakes his head. Jake leans on the ropes, daring them to come to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Obviously the Pit Crew and Greg had hopes to go after Jake some more, but Jake Starr is daring them to come in.”

 

Knots: “This Sunday, no chairs allowed!”

 

Sharper: “But what of the Pit Crew!”

 

Knots: “They won’t need to do anything. Moral support, something Jake doesn’t know about!”

 

Jake then backs up as the Pit Crew just watches as he takes the one chair he didn’t fold up and places it in the middle of the ring, upright. He then smirks as he goes back to daring them to come in.

 

Knots: “What the hell? Is he planning to put someone through it?! Ref! Get out of there!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know. But Jake Starr ready to take on the Pit Crew and Greg Cherry. And this Sunday, he’s going to get revenge for everything they’ve put him through!”

 

The crowd roars as Starr keeps telling them to come at him as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we open up at ringside. The crowd roars as the cameras pan through the crowd. We then cut down to the announce table to see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots.

 

Sharper: “Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots here on Breakdown and as we have mentioned time and time again, this weekend is Rise to Greatness weekend with a whole lot going on.”

 

Knots: “A whole bunch of wrestling action and along with that, the Class of 2013 will be inducted into the hall of fame.”

 

Sharper: “And with that in mind, let’s take a look back at the careers of some of the individuals to be inducted this Saturday night!”

 

The SCW Hall of Fame logo comes up on the screen.

We then see a shot of Josh Hudson standing in the ring before cutting to show him standing in the ring holding up the SCW World Championship.

 

Hudson: “The fact of the matter is that I gave people something different. I got to the top of the mountain and I knew I was the underdog and I did what I needed to make people watch.”

 

We then see a shot of Hudson hitting the Big Fat Kill on Greg Cherry before showing him hitting the Kingdom Come on Chad Evans. This is followed up by showing him hitting a belly to belly suplex on CHBK and then showing him standing victorious as the SCW United States Champion. We see him hitting the Kingdom Come on Jason Zero and then showing him hit the Big Fat Kill on Jake Starr. This is followed up with a shot of Josh Hudson leaving the ring at Rise to Greatness 2010.

 

Sharper: “He’s one of the best. Arguably one of the best technical wrestlers in SCW History.”

 

We then see him turning and exiting through the curtain.

 

The SCW Hall of Fame logo comes up before we see a shot of Greg Cherry standing in the ring across from CHBK and Jason Zero. This is followed by showing him standing with the Cherry Pit Crew and then showing him standing with the SCW World Championship.

 

Sharper: “He has won every title. He’s done it all in his career…”

 

We see Greg Cherry hitting the Keystone State of Mind on Jake Starr before showing him hitting Jay Gold with his own finisher on the steel chair in the Thunderdome match. We then see him getting up as he looks down as he pins Xander Valentine. This is followed by shots of him hitting Juan Ramirez, CHBK, Cid Turner, Chris Lawler and others with the Cherry Pit. We then see him standing tall over Mr. D as he just smirks.

 

The SCW Hall of Fame logo comes up again and we see a shot of Christian Savior standing tall in the ring with the SCW World Champion.

 

Dawson: “Dear God…Christian Savior is finally the SCW Champion!”

 

Sharper: “The ultimate opportunist has just struck again!”

 

We see a shot of Christian Savior hitting Jason Zero with the spear before showing him hitting Shawn Winters with it and then Thirteen. This is followed by a shot of him tagging with Jason Zero as Revolution and then showing him standing tall as the SCW United States, Adrenaline, Underground and Tag Team Champion.

 

Savior: “For the first time in the history of this sport, you are looking at a dual World Champion!”

 

We see Savior holding up the IWC and SCW World Championships before showing him hitting a few more spears on unsuspecting foes.

 

The SCW Hall of Fame logo comes up again and we see a shot of TJ Johnson standing in the ring. We then see shots of Katie Steward holding the SCW Women’s Champion.

 

TJ Johnson: The reason why we have all come here tonight… She is The Queen of Queens, The Goddess of Desire, The SCW’s own Crown Jewel. Get your cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….

 

We see Katie Steward standing at the podium accepting the Female of the Year award multiple times at the End of the Year awards before showing her hitting the Off with her Head on Masquerade to win the SCW World Championship and then showing her hitting the Platinum Blonde on Lenne Perez, Calli Bennett, Robin Brooks, Sparkle and others before showing her hitting a moonsault onto Devon Kayl and then hitting a DDT on Stacy Kissinger. Her screaming is shown as she is shown holding up the SCW United States Championship over her head.

 

We then see the logo come up again before we see Shawn Winters standing in the ring before showing him walking around the ring and berating fans. This is followed by showing him hitting the Graven Image out of a James Exeter shooting star press and then showing him hitting the Kiss the Sky on Xander Valentine and then hitting the Graven Image on CHBK, Chad Evans, Christian Savior, Syren and others.

 

Winters: “When I’m done, people are going to be looking at me as one of the best in SCW history!”

 

We see him nailing Jake Starr with a backbreaker before showing him in the crowd with Greaternity at Spring Break and then showing him destroying the United States Championship before showing him standing in the ring celebrating at Rise to Greatness 2012. The scene fades to black.

We then reopen as “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore starts to play and we then see a shot of the Rise to Greatness logo.

 

Sharper: “Those five will all be honoured this weekend…and then the following night, Rise to Greatness X. It will be live from the Rogers Centre in Toronto.”

 

Knots: “And talk about a huge event. Dear God…”

 

The Next Level vs. Hurse & Porno Lad vs. The Cashmere Mafia

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

Sharper: “We saw the personal nature this situation is turning into. Not only do you have the sheer brazenness of the IWC, but you now have the growing tensions between the Cashmere Mafia and the Next Level.”

 

Knots: “A lot of people have wondered if the Cashmere Mafia got their shot too quickly. This is going to be the test, but it’s in the Next Level’s wheelhouse and the IWC, well…they don’t care too much about the rules.”

 

Collin Cole vs. Devon Kayl vs. Marina Trent

SCW United States Championship

 

Sharper: “Three individuals. All three with all the potential in the world. All three potentially future World Champions. Someone is walking away the US Champion.”

 

Knots: “Cole has a win over Marina Trent. Marina Trent is coming off a hell of a year. Devon Kayl, he’s finally realizing he needs to stop being a goof. This is going to be a hell of a match.”

 

Winner of the US Championship Contendership Match vs. the Winner of the SCW Women’s Championship Match vs. the Winner of the Adrenaline Championship Contendership Match

Winner receives the opportunity to choose when they use their title shot

 

Sharper: “We don’t know who will be here, but we know the stakes will be high.”

 

Knots: “The three people, in matches to happen on Saturday, will earn their title shots and their spots here…but to dictate when they can use it, that’s huge.”

 

Matt Hodges vs. Dylan Howell

 

Sharper: “Dylan Howell prevented Matt Hodges from winning the World Championship in his return several weeks ago, citing his desire to ensure Regan Street gets the next World Championship shot.”

 

Knots: “Matt Hodges  now is being all weird and hell, Howell, this is your chance to show the world that Hodges is over the hill, but that’s you’re here to stay!”

 

Blitzkrieg, Tatum McGraw & Rachel Foxx vs. Kelcey Wallace, Christy Matthews & James Evans

 

Sharper: “Sick individuals and a lot of personal animosity. Rachel Foxx has gone to a new level of sadisticness. The Cardinal Sin now teamed with her and this is just worrisome.”

 

Knots: “Blitzkrieg wants to end Kelcey Wallace’s perfection. Christy Matthews and James Evans want to end Rachel Foxx. The referees are going to have a fun time with this one!”

 

Christian Savior vs. Thirteen

 

Sharper “Eighteen months in the making. Christian Savior looks to finally end this all with Thirteen.”

 

Knots: “But will he be able to. As Thirteen said, he’s been ahead of him the entire way. This could prove to be the biggest gamble of Christian Savior’s career and it may not be worth it in the end.”

 

CHBK vs. Simon Lyman

If CHBK wins, Trinity Street must spend a night with him;

If Simon Lyman wins, Ravyn Taylor was spend a night with him;

 

Sharper: “We don’t even need to restate how personal this rivalry has become, what was a bit of criticism from Simon Lyman has opened up a can of worms no one saw coming.”

 

Knots: “He’s the master of mind games and CHBK, he came to play. And he’s planning for a wonderful night out in two weeks here on Breakdown with Trinity Street.”

 

Katie Steward vs. Orlando Cruze

 

Sharper: “IWC noted their partnership by initially taking out Katie Steward. Now Katie Steward has wanted to get her hands on everyone. Add Robin Brooks turning on her and Katie Steward is going to be more motivated than ever to give Cruze a night he’ll never forget.”

 

Knots: “I can’t believe I’m going to say this…Katie…kick IWC’s ass!”

 

Greg Cherry vs. Jake Starr

 

Sharper: “Greg Cherry sent a message to Jake Starr the Breakdown after Taking Hold of the Flame and since then, he has tried to show Jake Starr that it doesn’t matter what the fans think, that he has no allies and that he’s an island unto himself.”

 

Knots: “True, true, and true. And he’s going to try and show him something else this Sunday…people will forget him when he’s sent to the hospital. Jake…get ready. You’re going to need more than a chair.”

 

Brittany Lohan vs. Regan Street

Last Woman Standing Match

SCW Women’s Championship

 

Sharper: “This may be the most violent match of the card. These two have been linked with one another since last fall and now, with Lohan costing Street on three occasions shots at the World Championship, Regan Street and Brittany Lohan will meet in a Last Woman Standing for the Women’s Championship.”

 

Knots: “No rematches. This is it. They are going to solve it this Sunday and have to deal with it. This is where you put the children to bed!”

 

Shilo Valiant vs. Syren

SCW World Championship

 

Sharper: “And the biggest main event in SCW history…the SCW World Championship. Shilo Valiant will challenge Syren. He will look to return to the pinnacle of this business and succeed in his return from being heinous injured in that pyro attack one year ago.”

 

Knots: “Too bad that one thing has changed since then…this is now Syren’s company. She’s been the top star and rightfully so. Best Women’s Wrestler in the World!”

 

The Rise to Greatness logo comes back up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “This Sunday, Rise to Greatness X, the biggest event in wrestling history. History will be made. Careers will be immortalized. This is the night you won’t want to miss. Live from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.”

 

Knots: “Winners are coming to Toronto! SCW is coming in and oh boy…this time next week, the world is going to look a bit different in SCW!”

 

The logo remains on the screen before we then cut backstage.

“Rescue Me” starts to play as we see a shot of Shilo Valiant walking down the hallway. The crowd roars and cheers as we see Shilo.

 

Sharper: “Two weeks ago, Shilo shocked everyone by speaking…tonight, for the first time in a year, Shilo Valiant is going to speak to Syren. Just days before Rise to Greatness. Don’t go anywhere.”

 

The scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

NECRO!

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams the word "NECRO!"! The masses shout as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard. A growing fog forms near the entryway of the ramp as a spotlight shines down on the ramp
 
 
Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down
Time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back
Of a soulfull man
I've got way's you understand
Look left, look right, but I'm
Behind you
 
As the song advises the masses to look left and right, from the fog rises Shilo Valiant, his mask the ever-smile of the jester.
 
I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head
 
At those words, Valiant slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, locking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. Amidst the shower of sparks the chorus plays:
 
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
 
Valiant slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his mask glowing amidst the red of the rain and white of the spotlights
 
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin
 
The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. He walks over to the ropes and is handed a microphone. He then turns back to the middle of the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it.
 
SIN WITH A GRIN!
 
With the spotlight remaining on Shilo, Shilo looks around.

 

Sharper: “A year ago, he was the World Champion. The Breakdown after Rise to Greatness, Jason Zero cowardly attacked him as a result of a pyro malfunction before Jason Zero left SCW for good. A year later, still masked, still feeling that pain, he gets ready to challenge for the World Championship this Sunday.”

 

Knots: “Won Taking Hold of the Flame, great. But it’s not as easy as you make it seem…Syren has had his number…”

 

Shilo Valiant looks around as the Montreal crowd continues to cheer for him. He just smiles in his spotlight before slowly bringing the microphone up. The crowd cheers some more as he pauses.

 

Shilo: “Necro…”

 

The crowd roars and cheers as Shilo looks around before starting to talk, talking more gruffly than we remember him.

 

Shilo: “One year ago…It was supposedly taken away from me…the World Championship…the roar of the crowd…the ability to entertain…this spotlight…”

 

The light then goes out.

 

Shilo: “For one year, I have scratched and clawed…and everywhere the World Champion has looked, there I have been. And now, eleven months later…going into the biggest event in SCW history, the spotlight is back where it should be.”

 

The spotlight returns as Shilo just smiles.

 

Shilo: “For most of that year, Syren has been the holder of the World Championship.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

Shilo: “Never fear, that will be ending soon enough. She will be unable to count on the involvement of others. She will be unable to use a fatal four way to prevent the inevitable. There will be no more hoops that need to be jumped through. All that needs to happen is for the third straight year, I compete in the main event of Rise to Greatness. I have gone through months of injury. I have gone through a year of waiting. I have gone through twenty-nine others. I now only have to go through you Syren…”

 

The crowd roars. Just then “Groupie” starts to play and the crowd immediately starts to boo. A few moments pass before Syren walks out from the back with the SCW World Championship over her shoulder. She then starts to make her way down the rampway as Shilo just smiles through his mask.

 

Knots: “Sorry Shilo, but you’re not going through that. She has worked too hard-“

 

Sharper: “And Shilo hasn’t?!”

 

Knots: “Syren’s just better in every way. She’s surpassed him.”

 

Sharper: “Well we’ll find that out…”

 

Syren walks over to the ring and hops onto the apron. She then looks at Shilo. She then briefly looks around, almost looking for other Shilo’s before stopping and entering the ring. She walks over and grabs a microphone before turning and walking up to Shilo. Shilo just smiles.

 

Shilo: “Don’t worry…I’m here alone…”

 

Syren: “Sorry if I don’t believe that since you’ve had to sneak attack every chance you get. All year…When you came back, you couldn’t just say, hey Syren, want to face you for the title, when I could’ve said, hell yes and beat you that simply!”

 

The crowd boos. Shilo just smirks.

 

Syren: “No, Shilo, now a year after all of that, you’ve not just got  me as the one hundred perfect bona fide champion. I’ve been through hell and I stand here because I’m not going to just roll over and die at Rise to Greatness! Try to attack me from behind again. Try to take me out…this is MY title now. This is MY Championship. All I’ve done while you’ve been scratching and clawing back to the top is making my name totally mean the same thing as this SCW World Title…greatness. BEST WOMEN’S WRESTLER IN THE WORLD…and now BEST WRESTLER in the world. This tells me that. Not you.”

 

The crowd boos. Shilo just keeps smiling. Syren then just looks up, noticing the spotlight still shining down on Shilo.

 

Syren: “You’ve even got your little spotlight. Make yourself think this is all about you. It’s not Shilo. It’s about me! It’s about you TRYING to get this…from me. So have your spotlight because when Rise to Greatness ends…I’m going to take that from you too and it will be great. Because then, I can say I’ve had you every single time. World Tag Titles, always was better than you and Masquerade…or you and Marina. I’ve beat Marina Trent…and now I can beat you and there will be no doubt that you are second best to me!”

 

The crowd boos. Shilo just keeps smiling.

 

Syren: “You’re smiling…what the hell is wrong with you? Are you also not right in the head after that all?”

 

Shilo starts to chuckle.

 

Shilo: “Oh Syren…I wish I still thought that same way. I wish I felt I could take on the world and not think about it. Two years ago…that was me. What happened…my first Rise to Greatness main event…no longer champion thanks to Shawn Winters. This is my third Rise to Greatness main event. Your first. And you’ve been a good champion Syren, but before you make claims you can’t back up, you need to realize something. This spotlight…”

 

Shilo snaps his fingers as the house lights return.

 

Shilo: “It’s going to be on both of us…and I’ve delivered…and I want my title back…”

 

The crowd roars. Syren just looks at him.

 

Syren: “Too bad, you’re not going to get it. You’re not going to get past me and you’re going to have to deal with the fact that I will be champion and you’re going to have to watch.”

 

Shilo just smiles some more.

 

Shilo: “I’ve made Rise to Greatness my home for a while now…give it your best shot…”

 

Syren goes to retort as Shilo just stops her.

 

Shilo: “Necro!”

 

The crowd roars as “Sin with a Grin” starts to play. Syren just glares at Shilo before looking at the SCW World Championship on her shoulder. Shilo also looks at it. The crowd just cheers.

 

Sharper: “That’s what it’s all about this Sunday. Shilo Valiant is going to look to regain the World Championship this Sunday.”

 

Knots: “And Syren is going to show him his time at the top is over!”

 

Sharper: “Thanks for joining us tonight here on Breakdown…we’ll see you this weekend for all of the Rise to Greatness festivities. Good night everybody!”

 

The scene slowly fades to black, focusing on the shot of Shilo Valiant and Syren just staring each other down…
