DARK MATCH:

Demetri Nichols defeats Alex Parker via pinfall

 

 

“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

MAIN SHOW:

 

The opening strums of “Rescue Me” by Buckcherry plays as the Breakdown logo flies past the screen before we see a shot of Jake Starr holding the SCW Championship over his head. This is followed by a shot of Brittany Lohan locking in the From California with Love before freezing and flying past the screen. 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 pulling on a barbed wire wrapped bat stuck on Dillusion’s hair and then ripping away as Dillusion smiles from the sudden pain, before freezing and flying 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 Dillusion hitting Anthony Wallace with a hard right hand before freezing and flying at the screen. A shot of Jason Zero dropping Sasha Drachewych with the Chaos Theory is shown before freezing and flying at the screen. A quick shot of David Helms holding the SCW World Championship over his head, before switching to a shot of Gable Winchester and Stacy Kissinger 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 Gigi Steward and Syren looking at each other, standing across the ring from each other, followed by showing Lucas Knight hitting someone with the UKOD, and followed by a shot of Shawn Winters hitting the Graven Image on Greg Cherry are all shown before freezing and flying past the screen. A shot of the former SCW Tag Team Champions, Karnivale, are shown, posing with the titles 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 Anthony Wallace, Mike Harrison, Thorn & David Helms, Lucas Knight, Karnivale, Ducky, Warren James, James Evans & Katelyn Buehler, Infamous 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 Greensboro, Coliseum 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.

 

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the Greensboro Coliseum for Breakdown. I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Donovan Kayl and tonight, we have a huge main event when Ravyn Taylor collides with Jason Zero one on one.”

 

Kayl: “Oh yeah and that’s not all. Thorn and Masquerade will also meet up in the ring. A partial preview of the Scaffold Scramble Match that will take place at Rise to Greatness as two of the entrants will go at it.”

 

Sharper: “But along with that, there’s a lot of talk about the contract signing that will take place later tonight between the Canadian Heartbreak Kid and Jason Zero with regards to their match at Rise to Greatness. All of those high stakes will be made official later tonight.”

 

Kayl: “And with how personal that feud is, I expect it to be full of fireworks and I look forward to both of them putting a lot on the line to end this feud. Whoever loses, I’m going to love it!”

 

Sharper: “Also, we expect to see Shilo Valiant in action later tonight. His knee is still in bad shape, but he demanded to be booked tonight to make a point.”

 

Kayl: “Is he nuts?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know we may have to ask him.

 

The scene then cuts to a shot of one of the private boxes in the Greensboro Coliseum as we see Chad Evans seated and looking down at the crowd and the ring. Noticeably with him are a dark-haired lady and Destiny Nichols. The crowd boos upon seeing this on the screen. We then cut to a shot from one of the faraway cameras showing them from outside.

 

Sharper: “And there you see, Chad Evans, along with Destiny Nichols and newcomer Alexis Rayne, who will be making her in-ring debut tonight. Chad Evans watching the event from a private box.”

 

Kayl: “Perhaps a dig at James Evans along with Exeter and Hodges.”

 

Sharper: “I could see that.”

“NECRO!”

 

The crowd roars and rises to their feet.

Kayl: “Well we won’t need to wait long to hear from Shilo!”


So hold on until it's over

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

The spotlight and camera search around the arena as "I'm Here for Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert screams through the arena, the cameras and lights trying to locate the elusive Necro-Merchant. They quickly spot a growing fog near the entryway of the ramp.

Oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment

The fans yells only grow louder as Shilo limps out from the back, holding both the United States and World Championship belts, the neon lights causing his face and colored hair to glow in eerie colors. Shilo looks around and smirks. The word "Necro" is heard again, which Shilo returns by shouting the same word.

'Sall right
You'll be fine
Baby I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes, not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'm gonna work it 'til your totally blown

Making his way down the ramp, he holds his titles over his head, his feet planted as blue fire shoots from the stage behind him. As the fire raises then dies, the lights return to normal, revealing Shilo in full color.

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on 'til it's over

Shilo continues to limp to the ring, although a bit less gingerly than at Ammo. The crowd cheers him as he reaches out and claps a few fans hands on his way to the ring.

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I am about to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

Shilo starts to walk up the steel steps and uses the ringpost to help him get into the ring.

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant still showing the effect of his US Championship match in Britain a week and a half ago, and the World Championship match against Ace Marshall on Ammo.”

 

Kayl: “And he somehow pulled out wins there. But how long can he keep dodging the bullet? Take a damn break. Heal up for Rise to Greatness!”

 

Sharper: “He’s a fighting champion. He’s a competitor.”

 

Kayl: “He’s an idiot!”

 

Shilo then enters the ring and spins around a bit and smiles before walking over to the corner and climbing up to the middle rope and holds both of his titles up. He then jumps down, wincing a bit before walking over to the ropes and being handed a microphone. The crowd roars and he walks around before going to the middle of the ring. He looks down and smiles as his music fades out and the crowd cheers.

 

Shilo: “HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO Necrophiliacs and Junkies!”

 

The crowd roars and Shilo looks around and smiles.

 

Shilo: “And for the second consecutive show, I get to come out here and entertain you all. I wonder how Ace Marshall is feeling knowing that he wasn’t able to win my World Championships and needed his bestest buddy in the whole wide world, Shawn Winters to run in and hope to get a cheap shot on me. The man who keeps talking about how I am paranoid, needing to come in and attack me simply by just hitting the Morning Star. The man who saw me limp out to that ring and take a match that everyone including the announcers thought I was nuts for! And HE needed to attack ME just to prevent me from being Ace in the middle of the ring with a pin.”

 

Shilo smirks.

 

Shilo: “Well as you all can see, I’m still the World Champion. I’m still the US Champion. I’m still heading to Rise to Greatness. And I still have to deal with Shawn Winters and his coming out here and telling the world that he’s apparently our God and this World Championship is my tribute to him!”

 

The crowd boos as Shilo paces a bit, limping slightly.

 

Shilo: “Now, if you can’t beat a one-legged man in a two on one ass-kicking contest, how are we supposed to buy your long-winded speeches about how it’s only a matter of time before you’re holding this giant ten pound golden belt that represents to everyone that you’re the best in the world, hmm?”

 

The crowd roars as Shilo pauses for a moment.

 

Shilo: “Have you thought about that? You let a cripple beat you. I practically had one good leg and I STILL was walking away having thwarted your plans. Great word that is. Thwart. You’ve been talking about how I’m scared of you and you’re the one that was scared of me beating your little bitch there Ace Marshall? Then again, maybe that was the link. Ace had to beat someone to make sure you could too. Couldn’t let him prove you’re better. And now Adam Allocco is around. All of your little sidekicks are coming back. And YOU are THREATENED by a CRIPPLE?!”

 

Shilo smirks.

 

Kayl: “He’s loving this.”

 

Sharper: “Well, he’s got a point. Shilo Valiant is not at one hundred percent right now and Shawn Winters was really quick to react to prevent him from getting the pin.”

 

Shilo: “But see, I’m not going to come out here and talk about paranoia or how you’re just waiting until Rise to Greatness for fate to kick in. You’ve already shown what a fickle bitch she can be. But Shawn, maybe....just maybe, you realized something. Taking Hold of the Flame may be a curse. And no, not talking about those Voodoo curses that cause you bleed green and your nose to fall off of your face, but God knows that would ruin your day too. But no, I’m talking about the fact that well....facts...are against you. And well, while I was getting my PhD’s in being entertaining and Necrology, I dabbled in a few history subjects and doing my crack research off the People’s Internet Godsend, Wikipedia, I realized something. That was that we’ve had eight Taking Hold of the Flame winners....Only TWO...I know you can count that high....Only TWO have won the World Championship at the following Rise to Greatness. Even if you add Zero taking Damian’s spot...that’s three. And I know you don’t like being in the same sentence of Zero. But the stats aren’t in your favour. In fact, fun fact, you’re one of the three World Champions to LOSE the title at Rise to Greatness. Go figure!”

 

The crowd roars as Shilo smirks and shrugs playfully.

 

Shilo: “Now, now, I realize this would mean that you’d need to check your ego at the door, but really Shawn, history isn’t on your side....facts aren’t on your side....and fate....well, did fate have you handing me the win instead of me pinning Ace Marshall in the middle of the ring? Or were you hoping to get in another cheap shot just to make sure I’d have a bit of a harder go to getting to Rise to Greatness. Who knows? But Shawn....Rise to Greatness is two and a half weeks away. I’m still standing and I’m not running.....More because I really can’t run too fast with one good leg. BUT! That said....”

 

The crowd cheers as Shilo smirks.

 

Shilo: “So Shawn, you may want to rethink things. If you want to make sure this comes to you...I still have one good leg. And with it, I’m sure I can still kick your ass. Just have to jump a bit higher!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Shilo: “NECRO!”

 

The crowd cheers as his music starts to play. Shilo smiles and tosses the microphone back to Jason Phillips as Shilo turns and walks over to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant quite proud of what he was able to do on Friday Night Ammo.”

 

Kayl: “And Shawn Winters knows. Shilo Valiant just got a bit of a confidence boost. I just hope he doesn’t ruin it by injuring himself further.”

 

Sharper: “Shilo will be in action later tonight against Dillusion. But Shawn Winters, he is here. He heard that and I can tell you that I doubt he’s going to be too pleased. He’s had the advantage, but the last two shows, things have not gone his way!”

 

Shilo grabs the ropes and steps through before leaning on the apron and dropping down to the floor. He then lifts his bad leg and kicks it out a bit before walking towards the back, still limping. He continues on his way.

“Rescue Me” starts to play in the background as we see a still come up for the CHBK and Jason Zero Rise to Greatness Contract signing.

 

Sharper: “Well plenty to come here tonight. We know Shilo Valiant will be in action against Dillusion, but also, this...the contract signing. All of the stipulations will be made official. CHBK and Jason Zero will sign the contract in that ring later tonight.”

 

The still then changes to show Billy Mitchell vs. Ryan Watson.

 

Kayl: “Yeah, but Infamous has other matters to worry about too. Billy Mitchell is free and here and he’s pissed off. He said someone was going to get their ass-kicked tonight and Ryan Watson may be that man. That match is next!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage to see Shawn Winters seated in his locker room on the couch with Charlie Laurio next to him. Winters’ arm is around her as he just shakes his head. Ace Marshall just leans against the wall.

 

Winters: “Arrogant little bastard, eh? And people think I’m conceited.”

 

Charlie: “You are.”

 

Winters: “Yeah. But I at least have earned the right to do it. People flock to see what I’ll do next. He ran away from a chair.”

 

Ace: “You know you could’ve hit him once or twice.”

 

Winters: “Well, I figuring you’d have actually beaten him!”

 

Ace: “Hey, I told you. I got something in my eye and he got lucky!”

 

Winters: “Yeah! Sure. Maybe you’re getting rusty. Getting worn out before the shows.”

 

Ace: “Ha! You wish. I still could out run you any day.”

 

Winters: “Alright. Charlie. You be the judge!”

 

Charlie: “Sure, only if I get both of you at the same time. Only way to keep it fair. Also let’s you guys make clear the terms.”

 

Ace: “Screw that!”

 

Winters: “Yeah, not happening. Plus, you wouldn’t be able to handle more than me. I’m the threshold there. Even Ace’s microscopic addition-“

 

Ace: “Oh screw you!”

 

Winters: “Whatever. Shilo can pretend that he’s got one over on me. I’ll show him what facts matter.”

 

Charlie: “It’s important to make him feel good.”

 

Winters: “Exactly. Don’t need more Christy Matthews running around. Cutting themselves when they lose it hard.”

 

Ace: “Speaking of cutting themselves, how the HELL am I not booked for Rise to Greatness?”

 

Winters: “Sasha watched Ammo?”

 

Ace: “Yeah, where I took her World Champion to the limit. To hell with that. I’m going for a walk. Need to do some convincing by the looks of it and I think I can talk Sasha’s language.”

 

Winters: “If I can’t get it in her, how the hell do you expect to?”

 

Ace: “I’m younger and better looking.”

 

Winters: “Ha!”

 

Ace pushes off and walks towards the door as Winters shakes his head laughing and walks out. The crowd boos before the scene changes.

The scene opens up to see Thorn talking to Christian Savior backstage as Savior looks at Thorn a bit confused.

 

Savior: “Look....I’m honoured, but I’m a bit shocked. You and I really never got along and I was a bit of an asshole to you last year.”

 

Thorn: “Yeah, well, Lohan was too. And she at least asked nicely. You...You had a hell of a run at the battle royal, you said you’re looking to just compete and give your kid a reason to look up to you. We’re just looking to put on a show in that match with six of the hungriest guys here. And I think you could still go.”

 

Savior: “You sure?”

 

Thorn: “I’m sure. I’m inviting you into the scaffold scramble. I think you deserve to be there.”

 

Savior turns away for a moment looking down. He then looks up and extends his hand.

 

Savior: “Well then, I’m not going to turn down a hell of an opportunity.”

 

Thorn: “And I’m happy to give a shot to someone who’s looking to turn things around.”

 

Thorn shakes Savior’s hand as the crowd cheers.

 

Savior: “Thanks...and good luck later tonight...you’re gonna need it with Masq.”

 

Thorn just smiles and walks off as we go back to ringside.

 

Kayl: “And another spot is filled. One more left if I’m not mistaken.”

 

Sharper: “Savior joins Thorn, Masquerade, Brittany Lohan and Shaun Cruze. A huge match with a title match and all five so far definitely have some big goals.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and with Ace looking to get on the card, maybe he should go to Thorn, not Sasha!”

Ryan Watson vs. Billy Mitchell

 

PULL THE TRIGGER!!!!!



Rapid gunshots echo through the arena, the sounds booming in the speakers as bullet holes appear in the black screen, slowly spelling out the word “BAD”. One final shot causes the image to shatter like glass, the pieces falling away to reveal a fast-cut montage of Mitchell in past matches, celebrating with the crowd and putting various opponents away with the ‘Last Ride’. An eruption of silver-white pyrotechnics rips up through the stage, silhouetting the “American Outlaw” as he’s catapulted into the air through a hole in the steel, sending the already roaring crowd into a frenzied ovation. Kristine Daniels steps through the curtains just as Mitchell lands in a crouch, flashing the crowd a lopsided grin from beneath the brim of his Stetson. Picking up in the middle of the chorus, “Shoot to Thrill” thunders at full volume as the lights shift into dazzling strobes and spotlights of gold. Walking out to the center-stage, Mitchell throws his arms out wide and takes a few slow spins, causing the duster to billow around him. Planting his feet, he stops short and cocks one hand back like a six-gun, slapping at the thumb while firing up into the rafters, causing small pyrotechnic explosions with each ‘shot,' sending the sparks raining down onto the fans. Bringing the ‘gun‘ to his lips, he blows the smoke away and starts a slow lope down the ramp with Kristine following behind. Moving from one side of the aisle to the other, Mitchell slaps at every single hand he sees, then points to one of the smaller kids at ringside. Grabbing hold of his hat, he carefully sets it on their head, playfully adjusting it a few times before giving them a quick hug and then turning to roll into the ring. Pushing to his feet, he crosses to one of the corners and mounts the middle rope, throwing both fists into the air before pointing out into the crowd, earning a deafening ovation from the fans. Kristine watches him quietly, hiding a smile while moving up next to the apron. Bobbing his head to the beat, Mitchell leans his shoulders back and rolls them in time to the music, allowing the duster to slide down his arms, revealing his rugged physique and drawing a few catcalls from the female fans. Pulling the coat off, he hands it down to Kristine before dropping to the mat and using the ropes to stretch out as his music fades.

 

Sharper: “Billy Mitchell has been a thorn in the side of Infamous for the last few weeks, attacking them backstage, trying to get into their locker room.”

 

Kayl: “He said he’s going to get his hands on someone tonight. He definitely is. Ryan Watson is going to face him.”

 

Sharper: “The question is with what back-up is he coming with.”

 

The arena lights cut completely as a white spot light begins to circle the audience. A countdown like at the start of an old film reel begins to counting down from 10 to Zero as “Shut The Fuck Up” by the Brides of Destruction hits the pa system. As the countdown reaches zero, the word “Fame” appears on the big screens before being cross out and replaced with “Infamy”.

As the music kicks into full gear, pyrotechnics explode from above the stage area, showering it with blue sparks and smoke begins to roll out along the ramp. The crowd begin to boo wildly as Ryan Watson walks out onto the stage area decked out in his ring gear, Lucas Knight by his side smiling confidently. Watson looks out into the crowd with an extremely smug look on his face as he takes in the boo’s and jeers before throwing one arm up into the air. Nodding, he drops his arm, ready to walk down to the ring but before he can move anywhere, Autumn Valentine runs out from the back and rushes over to him. Autumn grabs Watson’s head and pulls him towards her, giving him a huge kiss for good look, getting a rise out of the fans. Lucas rolls his eyes before sighing as Autumn skips off to the back looking pleased with her self. As she leaves, Watson and Knight start walking down to the ring to more boo’s from the crowd. Another chorus of boos echo around the arena as Watson and Knight reach the ring. Lucas walks around the ring as Watson hops up onto the apron, looking out into the crowd with a smug grin on his face as he basks in their reaction. Watson enters the ring by the middle before pacing around several times. Watson pulls on the ring ropes on opposite sides of the ring before wandering over to the corner, turning to face Knight, who has climbed up onto the ring apron. Knight gives Watson a few words of wisdom as he waits for the start of the match.

 

Kayl: “Big shock. Lucas Knight is here. And he’s going to probably have some fun around the ring in this one.”

 

Sharper: “Mitchell needs to keep his eyes on Ryan Watson though. Watson is the man he’s facing tonight. Not Lucas Knight. Not anyone else.”

 

Mitchell looks at Lucas as Lucas walks around the ring a bit. Ryan and Mitchell circle and Mitchell looks at Lucas and jawjacks at him again before Ryan Watson runs over and kicks Mitchell in the ribs before nailing him with a forearm. The crowd boos and Watson kicks Mitchell in the knee before jumping up and nailing him with a spin kick to the side of the head. Mitchell stumbles along the ropes and Watson just follows him as Lucas laughs. Watson stomps him in the side of the leg and Mitchell yells out as he falls into the corner. Watson then kicks him in the chest before kicking him in the head and then the chest again as Mitchell falls to a seated position in the corner. Watson then places his foot across the throat of Mitchell and pushes down as the crowd boos more. The referee moves in calling for the break.

 

Sharper: “Watson just choking Mitchell with his boot in the corner. Come on. Get him out of there!”

 

Kayl: “And Lucas Knight loving it. Mitchell isn’t terrorizing them. He’s getting kept down. No cars or locker room areas to help him!”

 

Watson keeps choking him.

He steps off and walks out of the corner. Mitchell grabs at the ropes and starts to pull himself up, coughing a bit. He then gets to his feet and Watson runs over and jumps up, dropkicking him in the jaw. Mitchell falls back and into the corner. Watson then gets up and grabs him and whips him across the ring. Mitchell hits the corner and Watson runs after him and jumps up and lands on the middle ropes and straddles Mitchell before nailing him with a number of shots to the forehead. He then jumps down and goes to whip him across the ring, but Mitchell spins through and pulls him into a back drop. Watson lands hard and rolls over before getting back up and Mitchell kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a swinging right hand. Watson falls back. He then gets up and gets to the ropes. Mitchell then walks after him and grabs him and goes to whip him across the ring, but Watson jumps up to the middle rope and backflips back, but Mitchell catches him. He then smiles as he turns to Lucas Knight and powerslams him down.

 

Sharper: “What a catch by Billy Mitchell!”

 

Kayl: “And that’s the smile that tells you that Lucas Knight may want to think about grabbing a steel chair!”

 

Sharper: “Mitchell taunting Lucas almost at ringside.”

 

Watson rolls over in pain and Mitchell gets up and just looks at Lucas for a moment before turning to Watson and just watching as he starts to get up. He then knees him in the back before hooking him by the head. He then lifts him up and turns before dropping him with a spinning reverse suplex. He then rolls him over and goes for the pin.

 

1!

Watson kicks out. The crowd boos and Watson rolls over. Mitchell gets up and grabs him and lifts him up before turning and shoving him into the ropes. Watson bounces off chest first and falls back into Mitchell who grabs him and throws him back with a back suplex. Watson rolls over in pain and slowly stirs. Lucas tells him to bail the ring, but Mitchell turns and grabs him before whipping him into the ropes. Watson bounces off the ropes and Mitchell grabs him and snaps him over with a belly to belly suplex.

 

Sharper: “Just big suplex after big suplex. Sending a message.”

 

Kayl: “And beating the hell out of Watson. Hell, after this, he’ll have passed his certification for doing movie stunts in the next Marvel Comics movie!”

 

Lucas just watches as he starts to pace a bit as Mitchell gets up and dares him to get into the ring. He then walks over to the ropes and even sits on the middle rope and Lucas just backs away and shakes his head. Mitchell then turns back as he sees Watson getting up and runs over and stomps him in the back of the head. The crowd roars and a “Mitchell” chant begins. Mitchell lifts Watson up and turns before whipping him into the ropes. Watson bounces off the ropes and Mitchell scoops him up and hits a backbreaker on the rebound before going for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Watson kicks out. He then rolls over and Mitchell starts to get up. Watson rolls over and Mitchell grabs him. He lifts him up and then turns and grabs him for a German suplex. Watson however blocks it. He nails Mitchell with an elbow. Mitchell fires back with a headbutt to the back. Watson falls forward a bit and Lucas jumps up and grabs Watson by the arm and pulls down on the top rope as Mitchell goes to throw him back, but Mitchell, obviously struggles and slips off, rolling through. He gets up and Watson then turns and Mitchell runs towards him, seeing Lucas and Watson manages to get a superkick. The crowd ohs and Mitchell falls back. The official goes over and tells Lucas to get away.

 

Kayl: “Well the referee’s here tonight are already showing they need their eye’s checked!”

 

Sharper: “Lucas Knight hidden from view of the referee thanks to his positioning and as a result, Ryan Watson gets a bit of help, thanks to the experience of Lucas Knight!’

 

Kayl: “Yeah. Pulling down on Watson causing Mitchell to slip off. Too bad Lucas wasn’t just yanked into the ring. That would’ve been great.”

 

Mitchell starts to slowly get up and Watson jumps up and hits a double stomp to the back of Mitchell, causing him to fall back to the mat. Mitchell rolls over, holding his back in pain and Watson turns and runs into the ropes, jumping to the middle rope and moonsaulting back into a pin.

 

1!

Mitchell kicks out. He rolls over and starts to get up and Watson just gets up, watching him. He grabs his back a bit before kicking Mitchell in the ribs and dropping him with a vertical suplex. He then rolls over and gets up and hits a flipping leg drop to the head of Mitchell. He then stays down and throws his arms up as the crowd boos and demands the pin to be counted.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Mitchell easily rolls over and gets his shoulder up.

 

Kayl: “What the hell was that?”

 

Sharper: “A very lax cover.”

 

Kayl: “Maybe he was just happy he did that move without screwing it up. He is still a young kid. Not much experience.”

 

Sharper: “Stop it. We’re still wondering if he’ll be the man facing Warren James for the Adrenaline Championship at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Kayl: “I wonder if he still has a headache from last Breakdown.”

 

Watson gets up and grabs Billy Mitchell. He slowly lifts him up and Mitchell suddenly shoves him back. Watson falls against the ropes and bounces off before throwing a punch, but Mitchell blocks it and nails Watson. The crowd roars. He then nails him again before kneeing him in the ribs. He then lifts him up and just throws him down with a hard standing thrust spinebuster. The crowd ohs and Watson rolls over, holding his back in pain. Mitchell just watches him and waits a moment before turning and running into the ropes and Lucas manages to jump up onto the apron, just out of sight of the official, thanks to Mitchell’s body, and drive the point of his elbow into Mitchell’s back. The crowd boos and Lucas falls down and walks back, throwing his arms up as Watson kicks him in the ribs before double underhooking him and spinning him down with the Insubordination Rules. The crowd boos and Watson rolls him over.

 

Kayl: “Lucas Knight nailed Mitchell right into it!”

 

Sharper: “Insubordination Rules! The cover! Not like this!”

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd boos and Watson rolls off as Mitchell rolls over, holding his head and then his back. Lucas just smiles as he walks around and Watson hops up and has his arm raised. He then stands over Mitchell and poses as the crowd boos louder.

 

Sharper: “And just like as against Cruze, Watson gets the win thanks to the presence of Infamous members outside!”

 

Kayl: “If he accepts Warren’s challenge, is that how he’s going to try and win the title?”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Mitchell took his eyes off Lucas as the wrong point and it cost him!”

 

Watson then walks over to Lucas as Lucas stands on the apron and raises his arm. Mitchell starts to get up and stumbles up to his feet and then Lucas suddenly jumps down and Watson quickly dives out of the ring and backs up as Mitchell lunges and falls over to the ropes and glares at Watson and Lucas.

 

Mitchell: “Come on you asshole! Get your ass in here and fight me yourself!”

 

Watson just backs up as Lucas just smirks and waves him off. He then backs up and starts to go up the rampway as Mitchell holds his head in pain and slowly uses the ropes to pull himself up. Watson walks back with Lucas, lifting his arms in the air.

 

Sharper: “Mitchell wants his hands on Lucas Knight!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Lucas doesn’t seem to care enough to give it to him. Infamous gets the win here. And Mitchell didn’t quite do what he hoped tonight.”

 

Sharper: “But when he gets the chance, Lucas Knight and Infamous may want to look out.”

 

Watson and Lucas continue to walk towards the back as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIALS:

Breakdown returns and we see Ryan Watson and Lucas Knight walking through the back as Watson just continues to celebrate, cheering for himself as Lucas Knight pats him on the back. The crowd boos seeing them before we see Jessica Winters walking up to Watson and Lucas Knight as they head closer to the Infamous locker room.

 

Jessica: “Ryan! Quick question?”

 

Watson: “Oh yeah...Kick Mitchell’s ass and everyone wants the interview.”

 

Watson smirks as Lucas pats him on the back again.

 

Jessica: “Well the question is about Warren James and his challenge to you. He said he was willing to put the Adrenaline Championship on the line against you at Rise to Greatness. We haven’t heard anything from you about it. Are you going to accept the challenge?”

 

Watson: “A match for the Adrenaline Title. Well duh. What the hell do you think I am? A moron. I may be new to the SCW but I’m not going to turn that down. I just hope Warren James isn’t going to get too attached. This title reign won’t be much longer than his last!”

 

Watson then walks past as Lucas laughs and Jessica Winters shakes her head as we go back to ringside.

 

Sharper: “I guess it’s official! Warren James defends his Adrenaline Championship against Ryan Watson.”

 

Kayl: “Christ, he got cocky quick!”

Jake Starr vs. Tom Tupolo

 

Breakdown opens up at ringside as we see Tom Tupolo standing in the ring, pacing back and forth before he arena goes dark, with just the sounds of the crowds and the flashes of the cameras. A heartbeat begins to sound throughout the arena...

THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP... THUMP THUMP

The beating slowly morphs into the beeping of a hospital monitor, while the screen of the heart monitor follows the beeps on the jumbotron...

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

The beeps begin to speed up, faster and faster, before ultimately flatlining.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...

As the ominous sound of the flatlining heartbeat echo through the arena, it's quickly interrupted by another heartbeat, but an irregular one. This one, on the screen, shows a star right in the middle of it. That beat continues, and begins to speed up as well. As it reaches an inhuman speed, the opening chord of "Sandstorm" by Darude blasts through the loud speaker, along with a blast of pyrotechnics.

With the blast, Jake Starr emerges from behind the backstage curtain. The crowd erupts, and Jake is taken aback by the energy being pumped in his direction. He pauses, and looks from side to side, cocking a smile, and an eyebrow. He slowly nods before beginning his walk toward the ring. As he walks, he pounds on his chest, points at members of the crowd, toward the ground, and toward himself, and slaps the occasional outstretched hand of some of the fans, while mouthing phrases like, "this is why I do this shit!"

As he reaches the ring, he quickly ascends the steps, and enters the ring. After getting fully into the ring, he walks to the opposing corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle. He looks around at the members of the crowd all standing, and acknowledges a couple signs in the audience with smirks and more cocks of the eyebrow. After his initial scan, he beats on his chest twice, and raises his "Misfit Revolution Fist" high into the air, a gesture mimicked by many fans in the crowd. He repeats this gesture on the remaining three turnbuckles, occasionally mouthing this words, "this will ALWAYS be MY HOUSE!"

After interacting with the fans, and completing his tour of the turnbuckles, he finally goes to the corner he initially started in, and leans back into the turnbuckle, and settles, awaiting the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr getting a nice primer here against a former tag team competitor of SCW’s past, Tom Tupolo.”

 

Kayl: “Minus that hot girl he hung out with.”

 

Sharper: “Well in any case, Jake Starr has to have a lot on his mind. Shawn Winters of course, but not only that, but Adam Allocco who returned on Friday Night Ammo, seemingly with Shawn Winters!”

 

The bell sounds and Tupolo walks out from the corner and head towards Starr and attempts a swinging clothesline, but Starr ducks and spins around. Tupolo turns around and Starr jumps up and dropkicks him in the chest. The crowd roars and Tupolo stumbles back. Starr then gets up and goes over before nailing him with a hard right and then another. He grabs Tupolo and turns before driving him face first into the top turnbuckle. Tupolo turns around and Starr kicks him in the ribs. He then fires him across the ring. Tupolo hits the opposite side and Starr runs after him and jumps up for a crossbody in the corner, but Tupolo catches him. He then walks out and Starr squirms a bit before dropping down and arm dragging Tupolo down. The crowd roars again. Tupolo gets up and Starr gets up and hits another dropkick, knocking him down.

 

Sharper: “Starr looks sharp as we expected. Tupolo is going to use his strength.”

 

Kayl: “But Starr is going to use that experience and quickness like he has so far.”

 

Tupolo starts to get up and Starr grabs him and lifts him up and Tupolo pushes him back. Starr stumbles back and turns around, smirking a bit before turning back to Tupolo and Tupolo nails him with a straight boot to the face. The crowd ohs and Starr rolls over in pain. Tupolo then grabs him and lifts him up before kneeing him hard in the ribs. He rears back and knees him again. He then turns and whips him into the corner, but Starr jumps to the middle turnbuckle and As Tupolo runs after him, jumps back with a back kick. Tupolo stumbles back, but stays on his feet. He then turns around and Starr kicks him in the ribs and spikes him with a DDT. He then turns and runs into the ropes before bouncing off them and jumping up and hitting a huge knee drop.

 

Sharper: “And Starr pulls it out again and follows up with a hard knee to the forehead.”

 

Kayl: “Tupolo needs to do more than hit a boot. Starr is going to keep coming up. We all remember how long Starr held the World Championship. He has been in there with some of the best. Myself included!”

 

Starr turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Tupolo kicks out. He rolls over and Starr just shakes his head and kicks him in the stomach as he gets up. He then grabs him and pulls him in before looking around as the crowd roars. He then flips forward and spikes Tupolo with the flip piledriver. The crowd cheers again and Starr rolls over and gets up before climbing up to the top rope. He turns back to Tupolo before standing up. The crowd cheers some more and Starr then dives off with the Shooting Five Star. The crowd erupts in cheers and Starr hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars again and Starr gets up and throws his arm in the air, smirking. He then turns around and goes over to the ropes and asks for a microphone. He turns back as Tupolo is checked on by the referee.

 

Sharper: “Starr with a convincing victory here on Breakdown.”

 

Kayl: “Hasn’t lost a step.”

 

Sharper: “And we’re now going to hear from the former World, Adrenaline and Tag Champion, Jake Starr!”

 

Jason Phillips, the ring announcer, hands Starr a microphone as he turns and walks back to the middle of the ring. He looks around and smirks before looking up at the main camera.

 

Starr: “So it seems that in two weeks I managed to make Shawn Winters call up one of his old friends to make sure I wasn’t going to be bothering him all that much. For a guy who talks about how awesome he is, surely, he wouldn’t be worried about little old me!”

 

Starr walks around the ring as the crowd cheers.

 

Starr: “But apparently he is as he managed to pull Adam Allocco out of his ass, let him see sunlight again, and dragged him to Friday Night Ammo to jump me in the middle of the ring!”

 

The crowd boos and Starr smirks.

 

Starr: “So who’s next? Alex Desoubrais Jr. going to cross over to the dark side...again...and jump me. Or is Porno Lad going to come out of hiding and dry hump me to death. I’m curious. I get it Shawn....but really, you had to go outside. You have Ace Marshall running around looking for a match. You had to get outside help. I could see why after Ace lost to a cripple as Shilo Valiant was telling us, but still, come on. I’m bothering you that bad-“

 

“Blasted is thee who sin within the ring. God called upon the messiah, delivering an edict of reckoning upon the ignorant primitives with their lackluster wrestling. The messiah set forth to enlighten all those before him, and enlightened they shall be. (Adam 13:21)”

 

“Save Me” starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd boos. A few moment pass before we see Adam Allocco walk out from the back with a microphone in his hand. He takes a few steps and looks around before shaking his head. Jake Starr turns to him, walking over to the ropes near the entrance way and leaning on them. Allocco’s music starts to fade out and Allocco looks down at the ring.

 

Allocco: “Two years and you’re still running your mouth like you own the place.”

 

Starr: “Oh good! You’re here for more than one night.”

 

Allocco: “I’m here for a bit longer than that. See, let me clarify a few things for you Jake, because once again, you’re wrong. You’re wrong about the fact that I’m here for Greaternity. It was nice. It was fun, but I’ve moved on. You’re wrong about what my purpose here. Helping Shawn Winters is nice and all....but there was something more that Shawn Winters mentioned to me...that’s right. He did give me the call. He wanted me to do him a favour. One I will at some point cash in on him. But he knows that one thing he and I both agree on is that we hate your guts.”

 

Starr: “Awww....I feel so loved.”

 

Allocco: “You think you’re God’s gift to wrestling. You run your mouth. You think the world revolves around you. It’s all well and nice, but Shawn and I remember one thing and one thing I’m sure YOU remember well. It was May 13, 2009. Breakdown. You and I fought for the first time...and only time....and guess what happened. I pinned you in front of the world. I ended your undefeated streak. I proved you were like anyone else. And I love taking opportunities to put you in your place. You ran when Shawn Winters challenged you. Concussion....I call BS. You know that Shawn Winters would’ve kept that lovely losing streak you had going on at the start of this year going. Well, Starr....congratulations. You got the win tonight. You beat some scrub from the past that SCW saddled you up with.”

 

Starr: “Hey...he’s not a scrub....He’s....uh....okay, he is. He’s a bit scruffy too.”

 

Starr says looks at Tupolo as he walks around the ring escorted by the official.

 

Allocco: “See, everything is a joke to you. Well, allow me to say something very serious. Winters asked ME to take you out at Rise to Greatness because at the end of the day, I’ll do it for myself just as much as I’ll do it for him. Something he couldn’t guarantee from Ace Marshall. Something he couldn’t guarantee from anyone else. I’ve already beat you once. I handed you for your first loss in SCW. And at Rise to Greatness Jake, I’m going to hand you your most humiliating one. You want to take on Shawn Winters. What are you going to do when you can’t even handle a man who has been out of the ring for two years. Someone needs to shut you up....you just happened to show back up at the wrong time!”

 

Starr: “Well Adam, there’s one thing I think I need to correct YOU on. You may have handed me my first loss two years ago, but I don’t take kindly to losses. And I can count the people on one hand that have beaten me twice in a row. So take your best shot. But when I pin you at Rise to Greatness, Shawn Winters can start getting ready because I’m not running anywhere and I’m not resting until I shut HIM up too!”

 

The crowd roars. Allocco just smirks. He mouths “You wish” to Starr as Starr just looks at Allocco as “Sandstorm” starts to play throughout the arena again. Allocco backs up to the back as Starr just watches him.

 

Sharper: “Jake Starr and Adam Allocco at Rise to Greatness. Shawn Winters calling in a favour.”

 

Kayl: “And he’ll be watching. He’ll lose it if Allocco loses. But if Allocco wins, he’ll hold it over Jake Starr’s head forever.”

 

Sharper: “Allocco may be playing a pawn here, but a powerful one. Talk about a coup for Shawn Winters.”

We cut backstage as we see Tooty Fruity and Peach Fuzz backstage in their locker room as Magnum XL just shakes his head in the background.

 

Tooty Fruity: “You ready?”

 

Peach Fuzz: “Sure.”

 

TF: “Come on. Get more angry than that.”

 

PF: “But why? It’s the Lohans. Don’t really have much reason to hate them.”

 

TF: “We’re going to send a message to ASP and other bullies that have screwed us over.”

 

Magnum: “Oh lord...”

 

TF: “We’re going to eff them up! And Brittany Lohan is a bully. She used to be one for Infamous. We’ll use her as an example.”

 

PF: “Oh...and Dawn?”

 

TF: “Meh...don’t really care. But guilt by association work?”

 

PF: “Oh ok. So we’re doing this to put the fear of God into ASP?”

 

TF: “Pretty much.”

 

PF: “I can go for that. Let’s eff them up!”

 

TF: “Works for me.”

 

Magnum: “They’re going to die...”

 

Magnum just shakes his head as Tooty Fruity and Peach Fuzz walk off.

The scene then changes to show Brittany Lohan and Dawn Lohan starting to walk down the hallway. Brittany can be seen talking to Dawn as the crowd cheers a bit as “Rescue Me” plays in the background.

 

Sharper: “Well, the Lohans will make their first tag team match next and they’re going to take on the F-Ups. That match will be next! Don’t go anywhere!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as Breakdown returns live to see Ace Marshall in Sasha Drachewych’s office.

 

Sasha: “Ace. I’m not going to just make a random match for you.”

 

Ace: “What? Why not? I mean I just took your US and World Champion to the limit.”

 

Sasha: “He was injured and you lost via disqualification.”

 

Ace: “So! I still took him to the limit. He accepted the match. I kicked his ass. I should be put on the card...or hell, just add me to a match. Um.....the triple threat cage match.”

 

Sasha: “That’s for the Women’s Championship.”

 

Ace: “Pfft. Just get rid of that and I’d love to get myself a piece of their asses.”

 

Sasha just looks at Ace less than impressed.

 

Ace: “What? Syren stiffed me on the return spank at Taking Hold of the Flame!”

 

Sasha: “Sorry Ace. I’m not going to do that. Your best bet if you want to be in a Rise to Greatness match is to go find Thorn and hope he’s still got a spot open in the Scaffold Scramble. Otherwise, you’re sitting on the sidelines.”

 

Ace: “Whatever. Now I don’t even want to give you the best sexual experience of your life. Don’t deserve it.”

 

Ace turns and storms off.

 

Sasha: “Excuse me?”

 

Sasha just shakes her head as Ace disappears into the hallway and we go back to ringside.

The F-Ups (Tooty Fruity & Peach Fuzz) vs. The Lohans (Dawn & Brittany Lohan)

 

The lights dim and “Blood Is Thicker Than Water” by Black Label Society blares over the speakers, instantly encouraging the fans cheer loudly when they recognize whose theme this is. Bursting from the back first is Dawn Lohan, she stops at the head of the ramp waiting for her sister to make her presence felt. Brittany's marches out next, meeting up with Dawn. Brittany cuts in front of Dawn as they make their way down to the ring. Brittany slides under the bottom rope first. Dawn walks up the ring step. Brittany leans against the turnbuckle as Dawn is perched on the top rope.

 

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan made her Breakdown debut last Breakdown in a loss against Nicole Kinneck and tonight, she’ll be teaming up with her sister.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and her sister showed up last week and is part of that scaffold scramble and we have more people possibly in it. Christian Savior maybe? How about me? I think I should get a shot.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah and you’d have three consecutive pay per view matches.”

 

Kayl: “See! I could still prove I’m star of tomorrow! And in that match, just would need to win it and then win the World Title in the match I’d earn!”

 

A spotlight shines at the top of the entrance ramp as “Can’t Touch This(remix)” begins to play as Peach Fuzz, and Tooty Fruity comes walking out, smiling, and very energetic. They both slap some fans hands, then makes a mad dash down the ramp then into the ring. Peach Fuzz and Tooty Fruity both then go to a random rope and poses to the fans by leaning out and saying that they are number one. They jumps down from the middle rope and starts to run around the ring awaiting for the match to start.

 

Kayl: “Well, I expect a mat classic in this one.”

 

Sharper: “Something tells me you may be disappointed.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, you have one VERY confident woman in Brittany Lohan and her sister, against two people who have the combined confidence of a pudgy fat kid going up to ask the head cheerleader out on a date.”

 

The bell sounds and Brittany Lohan runs forward and both Peach Fuzz and Tooty Fruity exit the ring and step back. Brittany laughs as the crowd roars a bit and Brittany turns around and exits the ring as Dawn Lohan stays in. Tooty and Peach both look at each other for a moment before they both go to move back in, but Tooty Fruity stops at the last minute and Peach Fuzz slides in. He then looks over and clearly realizes his mistake and Dawn Lohan runs over and grabs him and pulls him over with a small package.

PF kicks out. Dawn rolls over. PF gets back up and Dawn kicks him in the ribs and wrenches the arm. She then kicks PF in the ribs before jumping up and hitting an armbreaker. PF rolls over and winces. He then grabs at the ropes and starts to get up and Dawn grabs him and spins him around before firing him into the ropes. PF bounces off the ropes and Dawn jumps up and attempts a dropkick, but PFgrabs onto the ropes behind him and stops himself. Dawn hits hard. She then rolls over and PF runs over and hits an elbow drop before diving up and diving to Tooty Fruity and tagging him in. TF climbs up to the top rope.

 

Sharper: “Peach Fuzz tagging in Tooty Fruity and he’s going to the top.”

 

Kayl: “Well, he caught one lucky break. Let’s see if his partner gets another.”

 

Tooty Fruity waits for a moment for Dawn to get up and then dives off and hits a crossbody, knocking her down.

 

1!

Dawn kicks out. TF gets up and Dawn slowly gets up. TF grabs her and lifts her up and hits a forearm shiver before a kick to the ribs. He then turns and runs into the ropes before bouncing off them and dropping to his knees and hitting Dawn with an uppercut. She stumbles back and TF grabs her and goes to whip her across the ring, but Dawn spins through and knees him in the ribs. She then hits a DDT before rolling over and tagging in Brittany. The crowd roars and Brittany enters and TF starts to slowly roll away, groggy, but Brittany grabs him by the tights and starts to pull him up.

 

Kayl: “The atomic wedgie!”

 

Sharper: “Brittany Lohan is lifting Tooty Fruity up by the tights!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and these two have been a thorn in the side of Andrew Samuel Pugh. This has to be making Pugh really not too happy after seeing how Brittany Lohan is embarrassing Tooty Fruity here.”

 

Sharper: “Well he’s had some success in this match.”

 

Brittany places TF on his feet before hoisting him up and throwing him back with a back suplex. TF rolls over, holding his head in pain and starts to slowly get up and Brittany grabs him and pulls him back into a vicious clothesline to the back of his head. TF falls to the mat and Brittany rolls him over for the pin.

TF kicks out. Peach Fuzz starts to get up, but then exits as Brittany gets up. Brittany then grabs TF and lifts him up before turning and whipping him into the ropes. He bounces off and ducks a clothesline attempt. He bounces off the other side and Brittany launches him up and back drops him over. He gets back up and falls into his corner as Peach Fuzz tags himself in. He enters and runs over and ducks a clothesline attempt from Brittany, and bounces off the other side and nails her with a forearm smash. He gets up and Brittany gets up and he dropkicks her down. Brittany gets up and Peach Fuzz turns and jumps to the top rope and turns and goes for a crossbody, but Brittany just walks out of the way as the crowd roars. Peach Fuzz lands hard and rolls through and Brittany then tags in Dawn.

 

Sharper: “And here comes Dawn Lohan back into the match as Peach Fuzz missed that crossbody by a mile.”

 

Kayl: “What the hell are they doing? Just wrestle a simple match.”

 

Sharper: “They went to the top and well, it’s not working out there.”

 

Dawn runs over to Peach Fuzz and lifts him up and kicks him in the ribs. She turns and runs into the ropes and hits a swinging neckbreaker. She then goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Tooty Fruity makes the save. Brittany starts to enter and TF backs away and rolls out of the way. Dawn starts to get up and PF does as well. Dawn then grabs at PF, but PF hits a jawbreaker. The crowd ohs and PF then gets up and dropkicks her in the head. She rolls over. PF then gets up and stumbles over to Tooty Fruity. TF is tagged in and he enters and runs over and grabs Dawn and nearly misses grabbing her hair before managing to grab her and force her down with a facebuster. Dawn rolls over in pain. TF then gets up and looks down before taking a deep breath and turning and nailing Brittany Lohan with a hard right. The crowd ohs and Brittany turns away before looking as if she is about to strike back before stopping. TF backs up, smiling nervously and then turns back to Dawn Lohan and Dawn jumps up and takes him over with a hurricanrana.

 

Sharper: “Well Tooty Fruity didn’t burst into flames after hitting Brittany Lohan-“

 

Kayl: “Can’t believe he did that.”

 

Sharper: “But he did get caught by Dawn and that hurricanrana!”

 

Dawn then turns and tags in Brittany and PF just yells out to TF, but TF gets up and Brittany grabs him by the hair. She then spins him around and scoops him up and plants him with a sidewalk slam. She then rolls over and gets up and looks down at him as PF runs around. Dawn Lohan then hits a standing moonsault before being asked to walk out of the ring. Brittany goes for the pin as Dawn makes her exit and PF grabs a steel chair. He then gets up and rolls into the ring. Dawn points this out as the referee goes down to count, but Brittany turns and PF nails her in the back. The crowd ohs and Brittany winces before turning and falling to her hands and knees. She then reaches up and grabs the ropes, starting to get up as PF throws the chair down and pulls TF out of the ring as the bell sounds. Brittany looks up and glares at them as the crowd boos and the F-Ups stand back on the mats on the ringside area.

 

Sharper: “Peach Fuzz may have saved Tooty Fruity from more if he kicked out.”

 

Kayl: “Also a pinfall loss.”

 

Sharper: “But Brittany Lohan is anything but pleased. That look...”

 

Kayl: “That’ll give you nightmares.”

 

Dawn enters the ring and checks on Brittany as Brittany just clearly is fuming. We see the F-Ups start to walk around as we see Andrew Samuel Pugh walk out from the back and just mockingly applaud from the top of the ramp. Pugh can be seen just looking down and shaking his head as the F-Ups turn and glare at him. The crowd boos for Pugh some more as Dawn keeps checking on Brittany, but Brittany continues to just glare at Tooty Fruity and Peach Fuzz.

“Rescue Me” starts to play throughout the arena as we see the still for the contract signing for the CHBK/Jason Zero match at Rise to Greatness come up on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Well, lots more to come here. The contract signing between CHBK and Jason Zero for their match at Rise to Greatness. Let’s not forget that Jason Zero will also be in action later tonight against Ravyn Taylor.”

 

Kayl: “Busy night for him. Shilo Valiant will also be on the line when he faces Dillusion. So much to come tonight!”

 

The scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we open up in the locker room of Infamous to see Ravyn Taylor just shaking her head as CHBK stands with her.

 

CHBK: “Relax.”

 

Ravyn: “Why? Seriously, it seems that if you complain loud enough, that people get their way. Helms and I have no business facing each other at Rise to Greatness. I said it a month ago. I said it last Friday. This is Sasha once again catering to The Next Level. Add that I still think you’re an idiot for giving Zero what he wants. Rise to Greatness is not looking good.”

 

Watson: “New Adrenaline Champion coming, baby!”

 

Watson smiles from the back as Lucas just shakes his head, telling him to quiet. CHBK just smirks before turning back to Ravyn.

 

CHBK: “A lot of people do. But Zero put something on the line that I know I can ensure he regrets. Especially after I add a bit of a corollary to the contract tonight. Zero is going to suffer for a long time, and all because he didn’t want to just continue his career and had to come after him. As for Helms...Helms is angry. He’s got his match against you. So what? As I said, you can humiliate him by taking away his ability for revenge. We’ll come up with a plan to ensure that you’ll be fine at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Ravyn: “Oh I already have a plan. That’s not something I’m worried about. I got to go make a phone call.”

 

Ravyn turns and walks off as CHBK takes a deep breath and Syren walks over to CHBK. We then see Ebdon and Christy talking in the background as Autumn is with Watson too as the camera angle changes a bit. Holly is also in the background, talking with Autumn.

 

Syren: “Are you sure it’s going to be okay? I don’t like seeing her this angry.”

 

CHBK: “She’s being forced into something against her wishes. She wanted to defend the World Tag Team Championships and that’s not happening. She thought she’d have a compelling case. Sasha bought Helms instead.”

 

Syren: “Yeah and he still wants to pretend to be a hero. All heroes use politics to get by.”

 

CHBK: “Wasn’t politics. It’s that people are threatened by us. Nothing more. Nothing less.”

 

Syren: “Well then let’s use that at Rise to Greatness!”

 

CHBK just smiles.

 

CHBK: “Would love to. But Sasha is going to make sure it’s hard for us to impose our will in that match. I’m sure she’s considered that being a possibility. Don’t worry. She’ll have a plan. She’s a smart one. And I’ll be offering her my advice. My advice to you would be to focus on the Women’s Championship. Ravyn will be fine. David Helms....he may regret this. He’s got an equally pissed off Ravyn to deal with.”

 

CHBK smirks as Syren just looks at him.

 

Syren: “I hope you’re right.”

 

Syren turns and walks off as the crowd boos and we return to ringside.

Alexis Rayne vs. Camila Martinez

 

The drum'n bass music, “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” produced by Skrillex blasts over the arena speakers as strobe lights flicker on and off. A thick purple smog appears at ringside and along the entrance ramp as Camila Martinez makes her way to the ring. The fans give a mixed reaction as Camila trots past them and enters the ring.

 

Kayl: “Vintage Era coming out here on Breakdown for a scheduled match as opposed to last week...”

 

Sharper: “Last Breakdown, Diego and Cedro Martinez being a part of that tag team gauntlet Dark Fantasy was put through. And they showed a hell of a lot of potential there in only their second tag match, but tonight, it’s about the female member of the Vintage Era, Camila Martinez.”

 

The lights go down and turn red blanking the area in an eerie red glow as "Broken Dreams" By Shaman's Harvest. The video screen lights up showing Alexis walking out from the darkness with a set angel wings spread out behind her. She smirks as her name flashes under her. Her angel wings soon turn to demon like wings as she spits blood causing it to splatter on the screen, signifying her ability to turn form good to evil. The scene switches a phoenix rises from the ashes and bursting into flames. Smoke billows from the back as Alexis slowly crawls out onto the stage before jumping to her feet. She looks around coldly as silver pyro falls behind her, making it look like rain. She slowly walks down the ramp as she stays stoned face. She slowly climbs up onto the apron before running and jumping up on the top turnbuckle. She shows amazing balance as she looks around before throwing her head back and screaming loudly. She jumps down off the turnbuckle, into the ring before walking to the center of the ring. She stares around coldly once more before sinking to her knees and crawling backwards into the corner of the ring. She sits there as she awaits the start of the match.

 

Kayl: “Hey! She stole God’s music. A lot of balls on her. Unfortunately, not something I look for in women.”

 

Sharper: “Well she’s using Chad Evans’ music. As we saw, she was with him in the private box. Alexis Rayne is her name. She’s making her debut.”

 

Kayl: “So what’s the relationship there? I’ve heard little here.”

 

Sharper: “Good question.”

 

We see a brief shot of the private box for a moment, showing Chad Evans watching. The crowd roars as the bell rings and we see Camila run right over to Alexis and take her down with a double leg takedown before throwing down with a couple of hard rights. Alexis starts to cover up as Camila catches her with some forearms before pushing her off. The crowd roars and both women get up and Camila grabs Alexis and turns and throws her into the corner. Camila follows up with a hard chop as the crowd woos and chops her again. She then grabs Alexis by the hair and throws her down with a hair-pull snapmare. Alexis then rolls over and starts to get up. Camila just smirks before running at her and attempting a clothesline, but Alexis ducks and runs to the corner. She then pushes off the middle rope and hits a back elbow to the head of Camila.

 

Kayl: “Whoa. Nice there.”

 

Sharper: “Hard back elbow off the middle rope and Camila’s aggressiveness coming back to haunt her.”

 

Both women get up, Alexis up first. She grabs Camila and spins her around before nailing her  with a forearm before hitting her with another. She then goes to fire her into the ropes, but Camila spins through and sends Alexis in. Alexis bounces off the ropes and Camila nails her with a back elbow before following up with an elbow drop. She then goes for the pin.

Alexis kicks out. Alexis starts to get up and Camila pulls herself up. She then grabs Alexis and hooks her up before attempting a back suplex. Alexis however backflips through and lands on her feet. Camila turns around and runs forward. She bounces off the ropes and attempts a running Yakuza kick, but Alexis sidesteps it before grabbing Camila’s arms and countering with a crucifix pin.

 

Sharper: “Look at this! Another great counter!”

 

Kayl: “And pulls her down. Damn. Alexis Rayne is impressing me here!”

 

Sharper: “Camila is also going at it hard, but she may be in trouble! Cover!”

Camila kicks out. Alexis Rayne rolls over and gets back up. Camila gets up and Alexis Rayne goes for a kick, but Camila catches it only for Alexis to then counter with an enziguri. She goes for the pin.

Camila kicks out. Alexis looks up and grabs Camila and lifts her up. She then turns and whips her into the corner. Alexis runs after and jumps up before placing her leg on the right knee of Camila and throwing her back with a one-legged monkey flip. Camila winces and starts to get up and Alexis walks over and grabs her, but Camila counters with a mule kick. The crowd ohs as Alexis turns, still hurt by the move and Camila jumps up and dropkicks her down.

 

Kayl: “Well that’s not illegal in a women’s match, but still hurts!”

 

Sharper: “Camila obviously knowing that and showing her knowledge of the situation around her.”

 

Alexis rolls over and stirs and Camila grabs her and lifts her up before kicking her in the ribs and backing up before jumping up and hitting an axe kick to the back of Alexis Rayne’s head. The crowd ohs and Camila rolls her over and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Alexis gets her shoulder up. Camila looks up. She then shakes her head as she grabs Alexis and drags her up. She then suddenly is dropped with a jawbreaker from Alexis. Camila stumbles back, stunned. Alexis gets up and turns before running into the ropes. She bounces off the ropes and Camila sidesteps her, catching her as if going for a sleeper before transitioning to a cobra clutch! The crowd gives a mixed reaction and then cheers a bit as Alexis tries to reach for the ropes and Camila pulls back.

 

Sharper: “Cobra clutch. Camila has it locked in the middle of the ring, or trying to...”

 

Kayl: “No. She has it. She needs to either start swinging or get her to the mat though to make sure she ends it!”

 

Sharper: “Alexis Rayne desperately trying to go for the ropes, but by reaching forward, she may be just adding to the pressure!”

 

Alexis Rayne keeps fighting as we see Chad Evans just watching again. Destiny looks less than intrigued before we see Rayne manage to pull herself forward a bit and jump to the middle rope and push back. Rayne rolls through and pushes down on Camila.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Alexis Rayne rolls out of the ring and falls to the floor. Camila looks up shocked and goes over to the ropes and kicks at them as Alexis Rayne stumbles back. She looks a bit surprised before smiling and throwing her arm in the air.

 

Sharper: “Well Alexis Rayne picks up what I have to say is an upset!”

 

Kayl: “Wow. Chad Evans may have done something right with someone under his wing.”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but a nice counter and Alexis Rayne showed some skills against a very skilled competitor here tonight.”

 

Alexis continues to walk to the back smiling as the crowd boos a bit and Camila paces in disbelief in the ring.

The scene opens backstage as we see David Helms standing next to Marisa Condolesa as the crowd erupts in cheers. He smiles as he hears the cheers and Marisa turns to him.

 

Marisa: “David....you have to be on top of the world. You’re going to get exactly what you wanted at Rise to Greatness. Ravyn Taylor one on one.”

 

Helms: “You know. Some may call this the end of the Brotherhood versus Infamous feud that started at Apocalypse last year. But I call it the end of a personal attack that I didn’t need. Ravyn went after my family. She broke into my house and all to provoke the response she got. And if she wants to say I’m not a hero for acting like any human being likely would in a similar instance, well....then good for her. But at Rise to Greatness, I’m going to get to end her three month reprieve from justice. No matter what, this is going to end in the middle of that ring in front of the world on the biggest stage of them all.”

 

Helms pauses for a moment.

 

Helms: “I’m going to be judge, jury and executioner. I’m carrying out a sentence. Ravyn can say I ran to Sasha. I merely pointed out my desire to face her and get my revenge the proper way, in that ring, in a match! Ravyn tried to duck. She made her argument to not face me and lost that case. Now she has to deal with me. She can come up with all of the plans and all of the plotting, but I’m coming to Rise to Greatness to do one thing....and that’s teach Ravyn Taylor that even SHE has to deal with the consequences and bring closure to this year long battle of oneupsmanship.....BANG!”

 

The crowd roars before Helms goes to turn and we see Harmony Fisher walk into the interview area.

 

Helms: “Harmony?”

 

Harmony: “There you are. And good....a microphone. Since it worked so well for you, I need to borrow that.”

 

Harmony walks over to Condolesa as Condolesa looks a bit confused and Harmony then takes the microphone and turns to the camera.

 

Harmony: “You know, I know my in-ring success has been limited, but I know when I need to get ready to throwdown and I had too much fun on Ammo evening the odds. But Holly...I know you want to get your perfectly manicured hands on little ole me too. You already showed how much you hate Stacy and I when you came back and I haven’t forgotten that chair shot. Well, since this worked for David here and Thorn as well, I may as well give it a go. I don’t care if it’s on the pre-show or on the main stage, Holly....put up or shut up. I’m not going to wait for you. Come at me girl and get ready to have your head knocked in.”

 

Harmony then turns to Marisa before turning to Helms.

 

Harmony: “I’m done.”

 

Harmony then tosses the microphone at Marisa Condolesa, and Condolesa fumbles it as it falls to the ground. She picks it up as Harmony walks off. Helms just shrugs.

 

Helms: “She’s a free spirit. What can I say?”

 

Helms then walks off as Marisa looks a bit frazzled as the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we see Jessica Winters standing outside of the Chosen locker room. The crowd boos seeing James Evans next to her. Jessica starts.

 

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown. I am here with James Evans and there has been a lot of internal discussion about who in the Chosen is going to face James Exeter and Matt Hodges at Rise to Greatness-“

 

James: “Stop there Jessica. The fact is that there really shouldn’t be any debate. Rise to Greatness is about making your name felt. Making your legacy come alive. Chad...no one gives a damn about his legacy. He doesn’t even care. He just cares about pain and keeping himself comfortable. I may have lost against Matt Hodges, but I’m willing to give it another go. Why? On the big stage, I have EVERYTHING to gain. I would be the dominant Evans in this company after kicking their ass in front of the world. Chad could then bow down to me and realize that I am the future. He’s the past and I should get the opportunity!”

 

James pauses for a moment before turning to Jessica Winters.

 

James: “So since people seem to be making challenges and making requests, I’m not making a request. I’m demanding that I face James Exeter and Matt Hodges at Rise to Greatness. I don’t care how. Make it a handicap match. I’ll destroy them both! I don’t need Chad Evans and I’ll show him that he’s obsolete.”

 

Just then, we hear the sound of a woman clearing their throat off camera and the camera pans out to show Sasha Drachewych as James Evans looks over.

 

Jessica: “Ms. Drachewych...”

 

Sasha: “Yes...James....I’m here to tell you the decision we’ve come to with regards of the situation.”

 

James: “There’s no decision. I’ve made it-“

 

Sasha: “Not quite that easy. Both you and Chad Evans have reason to face them. In fact all of Chosen does. But at Rise to Greatness, both you and Chad will face them in a tag match.”

 

James: “What?”

 

Sasha: “You heard me. Good luck.”

 

James: “What the hell? I don’t want to team with that narcissist! God damn it!”

 

James turns and kicks the door of the locker room and yells out as we go to ringside.

 

Kayl: “That’s not the match he wanted.”

 

Sharper: “But it’s going to happen. Exeter and Hodges are a well-oiled machine. They’re best friends. James Evans and Chad Evans hate each other!”

Thorn vs. Masquerade

 

All is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a spotlight drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll across the video screen

WHEN THE SUPERMEN FALL

The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the keyboard starts again.The background sounds continue, then more words.

I ANSWER THE CALL…

The screen goes black and there is silence now before a buzzer sounds for a brief few seconds and then…

THORN BY NAME, ANARCHISTIC BY NATURE

and then after a brief pause finally.

HERO NO MORE?

The black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thorn in various poses is shown before reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. Thomas Valentine's voice can be heard echoing around the arena

“You don‘t quite like how I operate? Get the hell over it!”

[align=center]The explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to “Higinia” by Blessthefall blasts out before phasing out and replaced by a modified version of “Sticks And Bricks” by A Day To Remember.

“I AM FUELLED BY ALL THOUGHTS OF FAILURE”

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

“I PAID THE PRICE SO I’LL TAKE WHAT’S MINE!”

A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by the last word of the verse before the song kicks in completely.

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

“BET YA DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMIN’ CAUSE I DO AS I PLEASE AND APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING! MY TIME IS FLYING BUT I’M STILL SECOND TO NONE, ALWAYS SHINING BRIGHTEST WHEN I’M PLACED UNDER THE GUN. SO HERE I STAND, THE ONLY SON OF A WORKING CLASS MAN, I WON’T BE HELD BACK, I CAN’T BE HELD DOWN!”

As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and high fives as many people as he can, as Harmony pats him on the back and proceeds to look on with an admiring expression on her face, waving to the odd fan that catches her attention before halting at the side of the ring as Thorn slaps more palms at ringside, revelling in their cheers and chanting before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making the beckoning gestures again before playing to the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, he gestures for Harmony to enter the ring who then starts trying to pump up the crowds and pointing to her mentor, applauding as they exchange a few words in the ring before she slides out of the ring and both await his opponent as Thorn takes the sunglasses off and hands them to Harmony for safe keeping.

 

Sharper: “Well at this point, Thorn has made himself a bit of man to look out for and with that one spot left in the Scaffold Scramble, who knows who he may invite?”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. Who knows if Ace Marshall may do something stupid too? It is Ace Marshall so we’re due.”

 

Sharper: “That said, that young lady with Thorn, one Harmony Fisher, making a splash just moments ago and challenging Holly Adams to a match on Rise to Greatness weekend.”

 

Kayl: “You have to wonder if we’ll hearing anything from her. Holly tends to like to make sure people know she exists. Just like the reason she joined Infamous. No one heard her crying otherwise!”

 

The guitar riffs bring the fans to their feet. The big screen shows several masks flying around before crashing into one another and making the word, Masquerade. We then see the man himself standing there posing. The camera does 360 around him while he looks up with his arms out slightly, palms turned out. his hands holding several different masks. The name he bears goes around him in the back ground, and suddenly there is a flash followed by clips of Masquerade beating people up in the ring and him laughing and in gothic background while he tries on different masks, still laughing out loud. These shots get faster as the music picks up. When the vocals start it goes back to utter black out and then the name ‘Masquerade’ flashes like a pulse.

We got the fire
Whose got the matches?
Take a look around at the sea of masks.
Come one Come all
Welcome to the grand ball
Where the strong run for cover and the weak stand tall.

The big screen shows more model-like slow motion shots of the good looking yet deranged stranger as well as several clips of Karnivale celebrating with titles and victories. From the ramp, a pedestal opens and rising slowly as if in slow motion, with the wind blowing in his face, is Masquerade. His back is to the audience and his arms are out at different angles, holding several different masks. Behind him we see the fireworks go off showing an actual arrangement pattern in the shape of a mask. The fans, meanwhile, hold up their own masks. Masquerade holds his head down slightly while the wind blows. His vest is undone so the camera picks up his build quite easily. As he poses for the camera, he waits till he hears...

“Welcome to the Masquerade”

He turns slowly one eighty for the audience, before tossing his masks aside. They cause a few cool explosions when they land. Masquerade then walks down the ramp, waiting a second before running and sliding into the ring. He lies on his back and puts his hands up and lowers them over his face to take off his last mask as the vocals go 'I'm not afraid... I'm ashamed... I'm not ok... Welcome to the Masquerade!'

Masquerade kips up and slowly takes off his trenchcoat, tossing it out of the ring, and lets his vest fall a bit so he can show off. He then does it up and goes to rest on the turnbuckle, his legs up. While he waits for his opponent to enter the ring, he takes his mask and tosses it out to a lucky fan in the audience.

“Welcome to the Masquerade...”

The music cuts and the fans roar!

 

Sharper: “The first man Thorn invited to the Scaffold Scramble, Masquerade, and he’s jumped at the chance.”

 

Kayl: “Just thinking of him in that match....he could steal the show. He’s been known to fly high and that match just lends itself to someone like him.”

 

Sharper: “But tonight, he has a chance to build up some big time momentum. Both men do.”

 

The bell sounds as Thorn and Masquerade look at each other. Thorn just nods and Masquerade smirks through his mask. Thorn then spins around as Masquerade then suddenly runs at Thorn and Thorn moves out of the way and pushes on Masquerade’s back as he runs past. Masquerade runs up the corner and jumps back and Thorn moves out of the way. Masquerade lands on his feet and rolls through before turning back. Thorn runs after him, but Masquerade ducks a clothesline attempt and runs forward. Both bounce off the ropes and Masquerade jumps up for a flying clothesline, but Thorn rolls underneath. Masquerade rolls through both men get up and Thorn jumps up and hits a front dropkick. Masquerade falls back and into the ropes. Thorn then gets up and grabs him and throws him down with a side headlock takedown, pinning him to the mat.

 

1!

 

Masquerade shoots his shoulder up and rolls over and onto his stomach. Thorn holds on as Masquerade starts to slowly get up.

 

Sharper: “Smart move by Thorn, taking Masquerade down and grounding him.”

 

Kayl: “Well both were doing flips for a while. Made me glad they weren’t active when I was holding the Neo-Cruiserweight or US Championships.”

 

Sharper: “Masquerade immediately injecting that speed into this match. Thorn could match up for so long.”

 

Thorn holds on as Masquerade gets his feet under him. He then pulls him back and into the ropes before firing him across the ring. Thorn bounces off the ropes and Masquerade leapfrogs over him on the rebound. Thorn bounces off the other side and Masquerade hip tosses him down. He goes to grab Thorn, but Thorn kicks up, pushing Masquerade off with his feet. Masq rolls back and Thorn rolls over. He gets up and runs forward and Masquerade holds onto the ropes before getting both of his feet up. Thorn stumbles back, getting caught in the chest as Masquerade backflips over and onto the apron. Masquerade then springboards to the top rope before diving forward and nailing Thorn with a missile dropkick. The crowd roars and Thorn rolls over and slowly gets up. He turns back to Masquerade and Masquerade jumps up and takes him over with a hurricanrana into a pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Thorn kicks out. Masquerade then gets up and goes to the ropes. Harmony warns Thorn as Thorn starts to get up.

 

Sharper: “That’s why you ground him!”

 

Kayl: “He’s just on tonight. I’ve never seen him this confident in his high-flying.”

 

Sharper: “Maybe he’s just getting ready for Rise to Greatness. Making sure he’s feeling as good as possible.”

 

Thorn starts to get up and Masquerade jumps up and nails him with an enziguri. Thorn falls to the mat and Masquerade rolls him over for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Thorn kicks out. He turns and Masquerade grabs him and lifts him up. He then turns and throws him over with a vertical suplex. Masquerade then rolls over and drops a leg across the chest of Thorn. He then turns and walks over to the corner and exits to the apron before climbing up to the top rope. He gets to the top and Masquerade then dives off and attempting a 450 splash, but Thorn gets his knees up. The crowd ohs and Masquerade pops up before falling forward. He rolls over and holds his ribs. He then starts to get up and Thorn gets up and grabs him before spiking him with the Petal of Woe. The crowd ohs and Thorn rolls over and crawls to the corner before exiting to the apron. He then climbs up to the top rope as fast as he can before looking over and diving off with a Swanton Bomb, connecting.

 

Sharper: “Thorn goes high-risk. It pays off!”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Thorn wasted no time. He saw the opening. He got to the corner like his ass was on fire and the top rope was a lake.”

 

Thorn turns around and holds his neck before hooking the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Masquerade gets his shoulder up and kicks out. The crowd ohs and Thorn rolls off and looks up. He then turns and grabs Masquerade. He slowly lifts him up and nails him with a forearm before hitting him with a second forearm and then a discus forearm. Masquerade stumbles back and shakes his head before Thorn kicks him in the ribs before scooping him up and slamming him down. He then turns and exits to the apron before climbing up to the top rope. Masquerade stirs and Thorn gets to the top rope and Masquerade gets up and pushes the legs out from under him. He then nails him with an open-handed uppercut to the jaw. Thorn pops back and Masquerade then climbs up to the middle rope and grabs Thorn. Thorn however nails him with a shot to the ribs. He then hits another before standing up and flipping over and hitting a sunset flip powerbomb to Masquerade and then flipping forward for the jackknife pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Masquerade kicks out. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Oh! How close! How close was that?!”

 

Kayl: “Damn close. Masquerade landed hard too. He slipped right off. He even tried to grab the top rope.”

 

Thorn gets up and turns back to Masquerade and lifts him up and hooks him by the head. He then goes for the Twist of Fate, but Masquerade pushes Thorn off and Thorn bounces off the ropes in front of him and turns back to Masquerade only for Masq to scoop him up and spike him with t the Michinoku Driver. The crowd ohs and Masquerade goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Thorn shoots his shoulder up and the crowd roars with cheers. Masquerade looks up. He then turns and grabs Thorn and drags him up. He nails him with a hard right before spinning around and nailing him with a spinning back fist. He turns and runs into the ropes and bounces off them and jumps up for a hurricanrana, but Thorn counters with a release powerbomb. The crowd ohs and Masquerade rolls over, holding his back in pain.

 

Kayl: “Oh! Back of his head. The back. Snapping off the canvas.”

 

Sharper: “Hard powerbomb. That may be what Thorn wants!”

 

Thorn then bends over and grabs Masquerade and lifts him up. He then kicks  him in the ribs and sets him up for the Prickly Heat. Masquerade however manages to drop down and crawl through the legs of Thorn. Thorn then turns around and Masquerade gets up and Thorn goes for the Griever’s Bane, but Masquerade suddenly grabs Thorn by the arms and hoists him up before throwing him back with the Skeleton Key! The crowd ohs and cheers as Masquerade rolls over and hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and Masquerade falls back and onto his back. He rolls over as the crowd cheers and his music plays throughout the arena. He has his arm raised as he gets up and falls to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Masquerade with an incredible victory.”

 

Kayl: “Right to the end. He just caught a break there.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. Caught him and threw him back. Skeleton Key out of the Griever’s Bane and just think of what both of these two could do at Rise to Greatness?”

 

Kayl: “Whoa..wait!”

 

Masquerade turns around as the cheers turn into roars as we see Ace Marshall slide into the ring and run over to Masquerade and clothesline him over the top rope to the floor. Masquerade rolls over and Ace then turns back to Thorn as he stirs and Ace stomps him in the head. Harmony Fisher quickly hops up onto the apron and goes to enter, before suddenly, she’s pulled back by Holly Adams. Harmony falls back and Holly kicks her in the side of the head as the crowd ohs and Harmony falls over. Holly then mounts her and grabs her by the chin, yelling at her.

 

Holly: “You want me? You got him! Be careful what you wish for bitch!”

 

Holly then nails Harmony with a hard right and Harmony rolls over in pain. In the ring, Ace continues to stomp away at Thorn.

 

Ace: “Thorn! This going to motivate you to add me to the match! Come on! You know you want to now kick my ass!”

 

Ace stomps him in the head as the official pulls him back. Ace moves past before stomping Thorn once more and stepping back, smirking.

 

Sharper: “Ace Marshall coming out here and attacking Thorn-“

 

Kayl: “Yeah and I think Holly came from the crowd. I didn’t see her come down with Ace.”

 

Sharper: “Either way, these two both coming out and taking their liberties on these two!”

 

Kayl: “Ace even making it clear to Thorn he’s trying to give him motivation to add him to the match. Just ask man! You don’t need to jump everyone! Worked on Ammo!”

 

Sharper: “Well Ace probably wanted more spotlight on him for all we know!”

 

Kayl: “Well he’s getting that!”

 

The crowd boos as Ace looks around and smiles. The official keeps pushing him back before Ace moves away, ripping his arm free. Several other officials now appear at ringside also getting Holly away from Harmony. Ace looks over and glances smirking before turning and exiting the ring. He then starts to back away as Holly looks at Harmony. Harmony starts to get up and the crowd continues to roar.

“Rescue Me” starts to play in the background as CHBK and Jason Zero appear on the screen.

 

Sharper: “Well as we try to resolve this situation, when we return, their match will be made official and with all of their stipulations. CHBK and Jason Zero will sign their match contract right here and that’s next!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

We go backstage to the trainer’s office to see Thorn holding his head as Harmony is getting checked out behind him. She tries to get the trainer away as Harmony tries to get up.

 

Thorn: “Mona! Just let him do his job...”

 

Thorn turns away and looks at the camera. He notices it and takes a step towards it.

 

Thorn: “Look. Someone tell Ace that he can have the last spot. He could’ve just asked like anyone else, but you know what. He wants to attack me. Fine. Give me motivation to make sure he doesn’t win. May as well give him another failure!”

 

Thorn turns back as Harmony continue to fight with the trainer.

 

Thorn: “Look. Just leave her. She’ll be fine. I’ll watch her.”

 

The trainer just concedes defeat as we return to ringside.

We return to ringside as we see Sasha Drachewych standing in the ring with a table in the ring with two chairs, and a contract placed in the middle of it. Sasha looks around as the crowd roars a bit.

 

Sasha: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to bear witness to the contract signing for the match between The Canadian Heartbreak Kid, Alex Desoubrais and the Anti-Hero of Time, Jason Zero. Last Breakdown, the two of them agreed to a set of stipulations to their match and tonight, we are going to bind both men to those that their verbal agreement made official last Breakdown. So without further ado, allow me first to introduce....JASON ZERO!”

 

The crowd roars as the lights dim. The big screen suddenly goes static and this static starts to form a shape that all the audience recognizes. The audience gives a mixed reaction as they recognize the face of Jason Zero. The face smiles before saying.

The Kingdom Of Old Is Dead.
The Order Has Fallen.
Now Is The Rise Of A New Kingdom
Of Chaos

The familiar electric guitar starts playing Crush 40’s “Knight of the Wind” while some fan of the proclaimed Crusader of Chaos holds up their lighters as smoke rolls out from the back.

Wooaaah, Woooooah

Jason Zero walks out from the back and looks around as the crowd roars.

Hey all (Hey all)
Welcome to the greatest storm.
I know, I know.
You have waited much too long
And I (And I)
I will be your shining star.
I’m here (I’m here)
You Better conquer fear or run!

Zero stands on the stage and looks up for a moment, taking a deep breath before starting to make his way down to the ring.

Like a sword, I'm brought
Into the heat of the day
Like a knight, I'll fight
Until the fight is won

In the reign, I save
Each and every
Each and every
Each and everyone
'Till this war is won

Zero looks around as the crowd continues their reaction. He gives a grin before walking up the steel steps. He hops to the turnbuckle, reaching out with his arms and looking to the heavens.

And I'm meant to rule
By the sword
Slashing through the every inch of the power
The power in you

As I sit
As I stand
By chaos will I command
My kingdom

I'm a knight of the wind

The crowd boos as he then drops down and the music fades out. He then walks over to the one side of the ring and looks at the table before sitting down in the chair and just leaning back, placing his feet up on the table.

 

Kayl: “Well Jason Zero is here and he looks confident.”

 

Sharper: “He’s getting what he wants. He’s getting it official. The match that he’s wanted for months now, even getting in the way of others to ensure he got it.”

 

Sasha looks at Zero as Zero just smirks and looks around. She then turns back to the main camera.

 

Sasha: “And I guess without further ado...the Canadian Heartbreak Kid!”

 

A few moments pass before the crowd boos as “This is How a Heart Breaks” starts to play throughout the arena. The boos continue and after a few moments, the Canadian Heartbreak Kid walks out from the back, dressed in a suit, with a clipboard in his hand. He smiles as Sasha looks a bit confused. CHBK meanwhile starts to walk to the ring.

 

Sharper: “CHBK has a clipboard in hand.”

 

Kayl: “He said he was going to add some stipulations....”

 

Sharper: “Well Sasha doesn’t look pleased. CHBK seems to have considered something else.”

 

CHBK walks up the steel steps as the boos continue and CHBK enters the ring. He then looks at Sasha before turning to Jason. Jason just looks at CHBK and smirks as CHBK grabs the microphone off the table and the other clipboard before throwing his down.

 

CHBK: “Excuse me a moment, but I think I should lead this off since I think we need to do away with this.”

 

CHBK takes the original contract that was on the table and tosses it out of the ring.

 

CHBK: “See, that contract is obsolete and to be fair, I never planned to sign that one.”

 

The crowd boos as Sasha just shakes her head.

 

Sasha: “And why was that?”

 

CHBK: “Well, the fact is that while I agreed to the stipulations last Breakdown, I felt the need to add another slight variation in the last two weeks and my lawyers and I have redrawn up the contract.”

 

Zero: “Look I’m not here to waste time. You know I want this match. What’s the variation?”

 

CHBK just smiles.

 

CHBK: “I forgot how much I enjoyed facing you because you were always so eager. Well the variation is simple. See, if I lose, to be fair, there’s some finality there. I’m gone. But well, while you’re putting up your ability to challenge for the World Championship on the line and I know that would eat you up inside if I beat you at Rise to Greatness...I want to ensure that no matter what, you’re forced, for some period at least, to suffer.”

 

The crowd boos.

 

CHBK: “Because see Jason. Nothing stops you at this moment from just quitting this company, taking your shares, and watching them pay you money to ensure your lavish lifestyle, if you lose. And that well....the pleasure you’d take from retiring me....it would not equal the pleasure I’d take in retiring you. Hell, you’ve left this company a number of times in the past. We even though last year you may retire. No. I want to ensure that you SUFFER. And that’s why I’ve added the stipulation that if I do beat you, yes, you won’t be able to challenge for the World Championship, but along with that, you are bound to remain in SCW for one full year and experience the fact that you’ll never be on top of the moment, while also coming out every day, knowing you can’t. You could enter into the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal and win it...and then have to forfeit your shot. But I want to ensure that actually can be a possibility while I stay in the back and watch as you’re FORCED to compete knowing you’ll never be able to hold that title. That’s what this new contract has in it. And THAT contract...I’m prepared to sign.”

 

Sasha: “SCW’s lawyers haven’t gone through it.”

 

Zero: “No need.”

 

Zero then takes the contract and spins it around and lifts up the top sheets before signing the final page with the pen on the table. He then spins it around and slides it to CHBK with the pen on top.

 

Zero: “You think that’s going to stop me Alex. To end your in-ring career and know that I did it, nothing is too much of a risk. Hell, your little girlfriend seems to not care for it. We’ll see how she does against me later tonight. But Alex...remember one thing....The last time we faced one on one....I beat you. I pinned you in this ring, nearly three years ago. I’ve buried you alive. I’ve hung you unconscious. I’ve put you through hell. You’ve put me through hell. Sure, you’ve beat me in Ironman matches...you’ve shoved me in caskets. You’ve bloodied me. We’ve cost each other World Championships. But Alex....this is different. This is our LIVELIHOOD on the line. You’ve made it no secret you want to keep competing even though you’re past your prime. You love the rush. I’ve made it no secret how much I want to hold the World Championship. I’ve gunned for it for three years and failed. I want to hold it once more and you want me to suffer....I’ve suffered for three years. I’ve suffered long enough. And think about that motivation, Alex. You’re forty-eight. I’m in my prime. Who do you think can outlast whom?!”

 

Zero pauses as he looks at Alex and smiles.

 

Zero: “You wanted finality. You want me to suffer. Well, I sit here confident that I’ve suffered enough while I haven’t been able to hold the World Championship, but you....the thought of ending the career of my greatest rival....and being forever above you as a result....THAT is motivation that I know is insurmountable.”

 

CHBK sits down as he look at Zero as the crowd roars. He then grabs the contract. He then lifts up the top pages and grabs the pen before signing it.

 

CHBK: “Well Jason....that’s a nice speech. But as you well know, I may be older, but I’m far from done. And I know what obsession can do to someone. And I know you’re obsessed with ending me. With being that hero once more. Or should I say Anti-hero. But Jason, how many times in the course of SCW have people claimed, no, guaranteed, they’d end my career. You’ve seen them all. What makes you different?”

 

Zero just smiles.

 

Zero: “I know you better than you know yourself.”

 

CHBK: “True, Jason. But the same can be said for me with you.”

 

CHBK then tosses the contract over towards Sasha.

 

CHBK: “It’s an even playing field, Jason.”

 

Zero: “And I know you won’t keep it that way for long. So go tell Ravyn that can try her hardest. Even try to injure me. Alex...this is fate. You and I, eight years in the making....it ends July 24, 2011.”

 

Jason Zero then stands up and looks at CHBK as Sasha grabs the contract.

 

CHBK: “Only one problem Zero....I don’t believe in fate. I believe in the knowledge that when July 25th comes around, I will prove that your little crusade was all for not and I can laugh at your misfortune.”

 

CHBK stands up as he says that.

 

Zero: “That’s a shame. Because fate doesn’t care what you think Alex. All it cares is that it’s plans are complete. And at Rise to Greatness, I will end your reign of terror on this company. And July 25th will see a new dawning where I reign supreme as the NEW epitome of S....C...W!”

 

The crowd roars and “Knight of the Wind” starts to play throughout the arena. CHBK and Jason Zero continue to just stare at each other, both smirking over the table.

 

Sharper: “It is official. Jason Zero. CHBK. Rise to Greatness. Someone is going to lose big time.”

 

Kayl: “And someone is going to gain the greatest bragging rights of all.”

 

Sharper: “A match that will end this eight year feud. This eight year rivalry between two of the longest tenured athletes in SCW today.”

 

Kayl: “Wow....”

 

They continue to show each other in the ring for a few moments longer before the scene slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens up backstage as SCW Breakdown returns as we see Marisa Condolesa standing with Kraven Blake outside one of the locker rooms in the back.

 

Condolesa: “A huge night so far and I am here with Kraven Blake and last weekend, it was announced that you would be facing Anthony Wallace on the Rise to Greatness pre-show. Any thoughts on this encounter?”

 

Kraven looks down and scoffs a bit.

 

Kraven: “Well, besides the fact that this match is nothing more than a normal challenge for me, I guess not. But perhaps I need to explain to Anthony Wallace something that he fails to understand. I was merely given a sum of money and asked to do a task. Nothing more. I offer a service. People took advantage of it. I would do the same if you offered me the same money to do so. But you seem to think my attacks on Nicole are personal.”

 

Kraven pauses for a moment, smiling.

 

Kraven: “Well that’s your mistake. But feel free to come looking to destroy me. Given my specialities and the fact that I have been more successful than not in extracting punishment in and outside the ring, you’ll be making a fatal error. And again, if you think that’s personal....well....”

 

Kraven turns and shakes his head and walks off as Marisa Condolesa turns back to the camera.

 

Condolesa: “That was Kraven Blake...comments on his match against Anthony Wallace on the Pre-Show for Rise to Greatness. Back to ringside.”

Katelyn Buehler vs. James Exeter

 

The lights go out, and the screen lights up in black and white, showing us the picture of a circus ring-leader, complete with oversized top-hat, cane, and mustache. He begins talking in front of a circus tent in an enthused voice.

"Hurry, hurry! Step right up! Ladies and Gentlemen, this promises to be unlike anything you've seen in your entire life! Without further adieu I proudly present to you a man who can only be described in one word as....

EXTRAORDINARY"

The ring-leader points with his cane to the word on a sign outside of the tent, and as he says it, it lights up with green electricity and the single drum beat hits. "Sparkle and Shine" starts playing, and green pyro goes off on the stage. After the smoke clears, James Exeter walks out from backstage to a roar of cheers. He grins and walks to the center of the stage, pausing before throwing out his arms to his sides in his customary pose. The crowd roars at this as "Sparkle and Shine" kicks up.

Sometimes I feel I'm going under. You don't feel nothin' at all.
Give me hope, give me somethin' to believe in. This jaded heart was never enough.

Exeter begins making his way down to the ring. Pointing at a few members of the audience, with a smirk on his face and nodding his head.

You don't know me. You know you never will.
Can't see inside me. Lost out on the thrill.
Killed by ambition... SACRIFICED FOR FAME.

He gets to the apron and slides in under the bottom rope, quickly making his way to the adjacent corner. In one hop he makes it up to the middle rope. He points to the crowd in a slow semi-circle, nods, and then slaps his chest before posing again.

One more time. One last tiiiiiiiiiime.
SPARKLE AND SHIIIIIINE!!
SPARKLE AND SHIIIIIINE!!
SPARKLE AND SHIIIIIINE!!
Tonight, tonight, toniiiiiight...

He hops off the middle rope and removes his vest before falling back against the turnbuckle and waiting for his match to begin.

 

Sharper: “James Exeter is going to be facing off against one of the members of the Chosen.”

 

Kayl: “What’s left of it! It’s already starting to fall apart.”

 

Sharper: “Well Katelyn Buehler will have a bit of an opportunity to finally get revenge for those attacks a few weeks back. Destiny Nichols gets hers against Matt Hodges on Ammo.”

 

The lights go to a night club florescent red throughout the arena. The opening notes of “F*cks Like a Star” by Porcelain and the Tramps fill the arena and Katelyn Buehler steps out a look of confidence on the diva's face. She wears a black silk robe with fur around the neck line and on the cuffs over her wrestling gear. She spreads her arms out with her palms spread in a double talk to the hand motion. We then see a wrestling championship belt around her waist.

She puffs her little cigarettes and paces in the lobby
Silhouettes of fair white skin, a superimposed body
She is the string that holds up paint, The one that gets you started
So if you've got the balls to fight, Then put your mouth around this

Ohhh, I know you're out of it
Ohhh, I know you want it

Katelyn starts to make her way down to the ring.

She f*cks like a star so rated R
makes you want it.


Buehler then continues making her way to the ring her steps long, slow, and seductive.

She fucks like a star, All the way to the top
Mess with your head, Make you want it
Fucks like a star, So Rated-R
You'll do anything because she fuck like a star, fucks like a star

The crowd boos her, causing Buehler to do more talk to the hand gestures till she gets frustrated covers her ears and screams. She gets up and holds her title up as she smiles and nods.

 

Kayl: “Um....just going to ask since I feel I need to. Did I die and go to hell? How does Katelyn have a title belt?”

 

Sharper: “Well she is claiming that she won it in another promotion. Of course, no proof of this has been provided. And on top of that, to my knowledge, she is only employed by SCW!”

 

Kayl: “Really? She’s that petty.”

 

Sharper: “Who knows? Perhaps she did some spot work on the side. I don’t know. But she’s claiming she’s won a Women’s Championship belt somewhere else.”

 

The bell sounds as Katelyn hands the title off. James Exeter looks at her and shakes his head as Katelyn then turns around and skips around the ring. She then turns and goes to Exeter and smacks him. Exeter turns away and looks down and smirks before turning and nailing Katelyn with a hard forearm. The crowd roars and Exeter nails her again with another forearm before he hits a third. He then grabs her and whips her into the ropes. Katelyn bounces off the ropes and Exeter hip tosses her down. Katelyn gets back up and Exeter jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking her back to the ropes and through to the floor. The crowd roars and Katelyn holds her face in pain as Exeter looks around and smiles.

 

Kayl: “Well Katelyn decided to go to the floor. That largely was thanks to that dropkick by Exeter.”

 

Sharper: “Katelyn, skill wise, is definitely outclassed, but that said, she’s shown ways to get around the rules. Exeter may be a former World Champion, but that doesn’t mean this match is a foregone conclusion.”

 

Katelyn gets up and kicks the ring apron and then storms up the steel steps. She enters the ring and runs at James and James leapfrogs over her. Katelyn stumbles and falls. She then gets up and James runs over and nails her with another forearm. He then turns and whips her into the ropes. Katelyn bounces bounces off the ropes and James back drops her down. Katelyn gets back up and James jumps up and hits an enziguri kick to the side of the head. She falls to the mat and James hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Katelyn kicks out. James gets up as Katelyn rolls over and starts to stir and James grabs Katelyn and clubs her in the back. He then turns and whips her into the corner. James then walks after Katelyn and Katelyn manages to reach up and poke James in the eye. The crowd boos. Katelyn then turns and kicks him in the thigh. James winces a bit and Katelyn rolls him down in a school boy.

 

1!

 

2!

 

James kicks out. Katelyn falls back and James starts to get up and Katelyn hits a sloppy dropkick to the side of James Exeter’s head.

 

Kayl: “And Katelyn Buehler just hit a dropkick to James Exeter. I just threw up a bit in my mouth saying that.”

 

Sharper: “And with that, just think, Katelyn Buehler in three weeks could be our Women’s Champion.”

 

Kayl: “Oh God....”

 

James rolls over and starts to get up as Katelyn gets up. She grabs James and knees him in the face. He stumbles back as the crowd boos. Katelyn then walks over and kicks him in the stomach before going to whip him into the ropes. James spins through and sends Katelyn in and Katelyn bounces off the ropes and just flips forward, catching James with her back as James tries to shake the cobwebs loose. Katelyn then turns and goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

James kicks out. He rolls over and pulls himself up and goes over to the corner. Katelyn follows him and nails him with a forearm to the chest. She then pulls him out and hits a weak clothesline. James gets back up and Katelyn grabs him and goes to whip him across the ring, but James stops, plants his feet and jumps back, hitting the Zizzou kick to Katelyn, causing her to fall back through the ropes and to the floor.

 

Sharper: “That backflip kick, perfectly caught Katelyn in the head.”

 

Kayl: “First time you’ve put perfect and Katelyn in the same sentence right there.”

 

Katelyn slowly crawls to the announce table as she turns around and pulls herself up. Exeter gets up and Katelyn turns back to the ring and Exeter vaults himself over the top rope and onto Katelyn. The crowd ohs and cheers and Exeter rolls over. He then gets up and Katelyn starts to pull herself up. James grabs her and rolls her into the ring. Exeter then turns and hops onto the apron. Katelyn starts to get up and James springboards to the top rope. He then steadies himself and Katelyn gets up and falls onto the ropes. James crotches himself hard and Katelyn then grabs him by the arm and just pulls him off, causing him to land face first into the mat. The crowd ohs and James slowly gets up and Katelyn grabs him and DDTs him down. The boos continue and Katelyn gets up and smiles as she poses.

 

Kayl: “She somehow gets James Exeter down and instead of going for the win, she may as well get more people to hate her!”

 

Sharper: “Posing instead of pinning. You’d think...”

 

Kayl: “I’ll stop you there. It’s my job to cut the jokes. So therefore...you’d think she’d be good at laying down on the job and pinning would be her forte!”

 

Sharper: “Thank you. I didn’t want to lower myself to those types of humour.”

 

Katelyn continues to pose as Exeter starts to get up and Katelyn then turns around and Exeter, without hesitating at all, nails Katelyn with the Best Superkick Ever, causing the crowd to yell out with Exeter as he turns and looks to the crowd.

 

Exeter (and crowd): “BEST! SUPERKICK! EVER!”

 

He then drops down and pins Katelyn.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

The crowd cheers and Exeter looks up and rubs his head. He then starts to pull himself up. We then see a shot of Chad Evans in the press box. Destiny just scoffs a bit.

 

Sharper: “Exeter gets the win. And you see Chad Evans and Destiny Nichols not too impressed.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Destiny Nichols has Matt Hodges on the next Friday Night Ammo!”

 

Exeter gets up and looks over at her as Matt Hodges walks out from the back. Exeter goes over to the ropes and exits before starting to walk up the rampway. The crowd cheers seeing Matt Hodges and Exeter slowly goes over to him, as they high-five and Hodges reveals a microphone in his other hand. He looks up at Chad Evans and stops.

 

Hodges: “So Chad! This is it, huh? You’ve had a couple of attacks. We’ve humiliated you...and you’re just going to stand up there and be silent. No wrath of God. No Jesus showing up and letting us kick his ass. Speaking of that, where is James? Oh yeah, that’s right. He’s pissed off with you and the fact that you and him have to team together against E.P.I.C. at Rise to Greatness. He wanted to do it by himself.”

 

Hodges stops. Chad just looks down and glares, although just continues to look down.

 

Hodges: “We were hoping we’d get to have more fun. I mean, we’re running around, doing everything to get your attention and I had to veto James in the chicken suit! But you know what Chad? That’s fine. Have your tiff with James Evans. Hell, you can beat his ass in the parking lot before you come out. We’re going to have fun showing yet again that you’re just a shell of what you were. You had a good run at Taking Hold of the Flame, but you failed. At Rise to Greatness, we’d expect you to be the Chad Evans that wanted to kill Xander Valentine in the ring. The one that tried to end Shawn Winters’ career. The one who actually GAVE A DAMN. But you want to sit there and just watch.”

 

Hodges just looks at Chad as Chad just stands up and turns around. Hodges just shakes his head as James throws his arms up.

 

Hodges: “Whatever Chad. You want to not care...at Rise to Greatness....E.P.I.C. will show you’re that we’re always going to be better than you. And just think....when we came in, we thought you were cool!”

 

Hodges then looks up as Chad Evans tells Destiny to leave. Destiny looks up and Chad tells her to leave before he just walks out and turns off the light. We then see a shadow being forced to go to the door as the crowd boos further. Hodges just shakes his head as James Exeter turns around and looks in disbelief too.

The scene opens up backstage as we see Nicole Kinneck and Dillusion backstage, talking as “Rescue Me” plays in the background, while seated in the Rejected locker room. Nicole Kinneck can be seen smiling as she talks with Dillusion. We then see Anthony Wallace walking over to Nicole and kissing her on the cheek before turning and starting to head to the door.

 

Sharper: “There you see the Rejected. Dillusion will be in action later, but Anthony Wallace, he’ll be in action next, against the Underground Champion, Hallucigen!”

 

The scene then slowly fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we see Gable Winchester standing backstage talking to one of the officials backstage as the crowd boos a bit seeing him. Gable just continues to talk to the official before Sasha Drachewych walks over towards Gable and stands off to the side and behind him. She clears her through as Gable and the official turn to her.

 

Sasha: “Can I have a word with Gable?”

 

The official just nods and walk off as Gable turns to Sasha and smiles.

 

Gable: “Ah, Sasha. Come here to hear what I’ve got planned for Rise to Greatness. Who I’m going to face and what I’m going to do-“

 

Sasha: “Not quite.”

 

Gable: “Well then? What? Are you just looking to get to know me better? Any opportunities...”

 

Sasha: “Just stop. I’m here because well, I don’t know if you heard, but I gave Stacy Kissinger tonight off.”

 

Gable: “Nah. Didn’t. I should care why?”

 

Sasha: “Look, I don’t know what’s going on. I know you two were close, but the fact is that you’re causing Stacy to have to look over her shoulder and hear the snickering and the insults. You humiliated her on television.”

 

Gable: “Well that wasn’t my intention.”

 

Sasha: “But it’s what happened. Either way, I think you and her have some issues and well, you’re not booked as of yet. Neither is she. So at Rise to Greatness, you two are going to face each other. Maybe it can give someone some closure.”

 

Sasha looks at Gable before turning and walking off down the hallway. Gable just shakes his head.

 

Gable: “I dump her and she’s still screwing up my career.”

 

Gable shakes his head as we return to ringside.

Anthony Wallace vs. Hallucigen

 

The lights cut out as “The Devils Own” by Five Finger Death Punch blasts over the arena sound system. A white strobe light flickers at the edge of the stage as a close up of Anthony Wallace’s screaming face is shown on the big screen in time with the scream of the songs opening line.

Smoke begins to roll along the stage area as Wallace slowly makes his way from backstage to the top of the ramp, his head hung low towards the ground. As the singer finally kicks in, Wallace throws his arms out wide and his head upwards, screaming to the world at large before looking down at the ring. Closing his eyes to compose himself, he begins to walk down to the ring, ignoring the outstretched hands of the fans who want to touch someone famous.

Getting to ringside, Wallace slides under the bottom rope and quickly pulls himself up before pacing the ring to a chorus of cheers from the crowd. After a few laps of the canvas, Wallace steps into a corner and leans back on the ropes waiting for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “This is a night that Anthony Wallace has been waiting for. Undoubtedly, he’s wanted to get his hands on Hallucigen for some time now.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and Nicole Kinneck gets that job at Rise to Greatness, but Wallace can help her out and help teach Hallucigen a lesson.”

 

Sharper: “And Hallucigen may be seeing the limits of his obsession with Dillusion as the attempt to give him the Underground Championship on Friday Night Ammo did not go as planned.”

 

Just when the crowd begins to settle, their heartbeats slowing, oxygen once again filling their lungs, "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid," results in another uproar. The crowd starts to boo as Hallucigen walks out from the back with the SCW Underground Championship over his shoulder. His arrival highlighted by the green laser lights shooting forth from the entry way, shining over the shoulders of Dillusion's faithful fan-boy. He slowly makes his way to the ring as Anthony Wallace just looks at him, glaring from the ring and Hallucigen walks over to the ring and looks up before stopping. He then stops and Wallace just turns away for a moment before lunging for the ropes in front of him. He then jumps through the ropes as Hallucigen quickly darts to his right and runs around the ringpost. Wallace runs right after him and Hallucigen rolls into the ring and Wallace then slides in after him. Hallucigen runs into the ropes on the opposite side and runs at Wallace only for Wallace to drill him with a vicious spear and then start to hammer away on him as the bell sounds and the crowd erupts, cheering for Wallace.

 

Sharper: “Wallace! Oh my! Huge spear!”

 

Kayl: “And teeing off. Wallace getting his hands on Hallucigen. A LOT of anger and rage!”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. Hallucigen has to deal with Ducky at Rise to Greatness, but tonight, he deals with the man who largely has been by her side and looked out for her for the last seven to eight months!”

 

Wallace nails Hallucigen with lefts and rights, just nailing him with shots from both sides as Hallucigen covers up. Wallace then gets up and walks around the ring as Hallucigen starts to get up. He stumbles over towards the corner and Wallace then runs after him and drills him in the ribs with another spear, pushing him hard into the corner. Wallace rears back and then nails him with another shoulder thrust. He rears back and nails him with a third, before the referee tells him to get out of the corner. Wallace instead responses by looking up and nailing Hallucigen with a hard right. Hallucigen stumbles forward and along the ropes before falling to the ground. He then rolls to the floor as Wallace steps through and follows him.

 

Sharper: “Wallace not giving Hallucigen any opportunity to catch his breath.”

 

Kayl: “Hell, we may have to reschedule match from Rise to Greatness after this. Hallucigen may not make it!”

 

Sharper: “And Wallace clubs Hallucigen in the back and now, wait a minute....he’s got the camera cords.”

 

Hallucigen falls to the timekeeper’s table after the clubbing blow and Wallace grabs the camera cords before wrapping them around the head of Hallucigen and pulling back. Hallucigen reaches forward, trying to grab on the barricade, the timekeeper, the ring bell, anything to help him. The referee drops down and calls for the break as Wallace keeps pulling back.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Wallace lets go and turns to the referee. The referee backs up a bit before reminding him he’s the official. He then grabs Hallucigen as he starts to get up and lifts him back by the mask before turning and throwing him face first into the ring steps. Hallucigen stumbles around and falls over as Wallace keeps going after him. Hallucigen then grabs onto the ring apron to pull himself up and Wallace grabs him. He then rolls him into the ring. Wallace slides in afterwards as Hallucigen slowly gets up and Wallace grabs him and clotheslines him down from behind.

 

Kayl: “Hell, this could be classified as a mugging at this point.”

 

Sharper: “Hallucigen hasn’t even been able to throw a punch at this point. Anger and rage just driving Hallucigen.”

 

Kayl: “Hallucigen?!”

 

Sharper: “Wallace. A bit of a slip. Live television here folks.”

 

Hallucigen slowly gets up and Wallace grabs Hallucigen and lifts him up before driving his knee into the ribs of Hallucigen. Hallucigen stumbles away and tries to grab onto the referee. The referee pushes himself away and Wallace grabs Hallucigen before Hallucigen turns and grabs him by the arm and pulls him forward, causing him to fall into the referee. The referee falls over, holding his ribs and Wallace starts to get up and Hallucigen lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop before jumping up and hitting a double knee facebuster. The crowd ohs and boos as Wallace rolls over in pain. The referee turns, holding his ribs as he starts to get up. Hallucigen quickly walks over to Wallace and grabs both of his legs before driving his knee right into his groin. The crowd boos further as Wallace yells in pain. He then rolls over to his hands and knees and Hallucigen jumps up and hits a knee drop to the back of Wallace’s head. The crowd boos further and Hallucigen glances over at the referee.

 

Sharper: “Hallucigen now has his opening.”

 

Kayl: “Bending the rules there too.”

 

Sharper: “Well, he’s probably thinking he needs to survive. He’s facing off a pissed off Reject. That’s just going to cause you problems. Not something you want to mess with.”

 

Hallucigen then grabs Wallace and slowly lifts him up before jumping up and knee Wallace in the head. Wallace stumbles back and Hallucigen then knees him in the ribs. He then flips him forward before running into the ropes and nailing Wallace with a running knee to the back. Wallace grimaces in pain and Hallucigen goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Wallace just reaches up and grabs Hallucigen by the mask, driving his fingers into the eyes of Hallucigen, while lifting his shoulder off the mat. The crowd roars as Hallucigen just yells in pain. He yells out further as the referee calls for the break.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Wallace rakes the eyes of Hallucigen. Wallace then rolls over as Hallucigen backs up and goes over to the corner. Wallace then gets up and walks over to Hallucigen and Hallucigen suddenly headbutts him and jumps back and just catches Wallace in the side of the head with a hard knee. Wallace falls over holding his face in pain, as Hallucigen rolls over.

 

Kayl: “Oh! I have to give it to him. Nice knee.”

 

Sharper: “Flying knee that catches Wallace in the side of the head.”

 

Kayl: “Seriously, the guy has problems though. His offense is largely revolving knee strikes and he’s got an unhealthy obsession with Dillusion.”

 

Sharper: “He’s also the reigning Underground Champion. What do you make of that?”

 

Kayl: “He’s a dangerous guy with issues?”

 

Hallucigen gets up as Wallace starts to stir. Hallucigen grabs Wallace and lifts him up before going to whip him into the ropes, but Wallace spins through and pulls Hallucigen in to a vicious spinebuster. He then grabs Hallucigen and pulls him to the ropes. He then rears back and knees him in the side of the head before rearing back and kneeing him again. He then starts to hammer away at the forehead of Hallucigen. Hallucigen yells out and the referee calls for the break.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Wallace however keeps hammering and the referee calls for the break still. Wallace however ignores him and the referee then grabs Wallace and pulls him off. Wallace gets up and glares at the referee, yelling right in his face. Hallucigen rolls over and starts to stir as Wallace grabs the referee by the throat. He then stops and looks down, seemingly calming himself down. Wallace then turns around and Hallucigen jumps up and nails him with a knee. Wallace falls back and Hallucigen turns around before hitting the Take a Knee right into the chest of Wallace. The crowd ohs and boos and Hallucigen hooks the leg.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Wallace gets his shoulder up just after the three, but Hallucigen rolls off and quickly demands his Underground Championship before seeing it on the floor on the outside. He rolls out of the ring and quickly grabs it and hugs it.

 

Sharper: “Hallucigen manages to get the win as Wallace couldn’t control his anger.”

 

Kayl: “And just think about Rise to Greatness?”

 

Sharper: “Yeah and look at that. Hugging the Underground Champion. A symbol of his dedication to Dillusion. He won it back for him. He doesn’t get it.”

 

Kayl: “He’s friggin’ insane! You want him to understand something. He’s obsessive and bloody nuts!”

 

Sharper: “I don’t know, but Wallace nearly had Hallucigen really regretting this all. He nearly did what he wanted.”

 

Kayl: “And Hallucigen has to deal with Ducky at Rise to Greatness. Think of the emotions there.”

 

Hallucigen looks around before looking up and smiling before lifting up the Underground Championship.

 

Hallucigen: “For you, Dillusion!”

 

The crowd just boos Hallucigen as he continues to walk to the back. Wallace stirs in the ring a bit, slowly rolling over as Hallucigen continues to back.

The scene opens up backstage to see Chad Evans just walking towards the back entrance of the building with Alexis Rayne next to him. Destiny Nichols can be seen walking behind him, ranting.

 

Destiny: “Give me a break. James? James instead of me? Teaming with you! You two hate each other. I at least can work with you. Is Sasha thinking that me having one match with Matt Hodges is going to keep me happy. I’ll get my revenge and be happy. NO ONE messes with Destiny Nichols. No one! I’m going to do whatever I need to do to be in the match.”

 

Chad opens the door and walks through, holding it open for Alexis but intentionally not for Destiny. Destiny however follows him through, opening it herself.

 

Destiny: “Chad! You need to go to Sasha and rectify this. I’m sick of getting forgotten. This was supposed to help me. Katelyn helped me. You did nothing. And you know I could help you destroy those two idiots!”

 

Chad then stops and turns.

 

Chad: “Oh shut up!”

 

Chad snaps as Destiny stops.

 

Chad: “I don’t care. I don’t care about you. I don’t care about James. You want to get into that match. Go whine to someone yourself. I don’t care!”

 

Chad then turns around and continues to walk off, joining Alexis as the two walk off. Destiny just remains standing there and scoffs.

 

Destiny: “Pfft....asshole. Maybe I’ll just try and take your spot in it...”

 

Destiny turns around and walks off as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

The lights dim in the arena as the screens all cut to black and for a few seconds and there’s nothing but the reaction of the fans heard all around the arena. After a few moments the opening “King of the World” by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as spotlights begin to flick on and off around the arena. The camera pans through the crowd and back to the cheap seats in the back of the arena where we see Christy Matthews standing on the guard rail with her arms outstretched in an eerily familiar mock-crucifix pose. Her fists are taped and she looks more than ready for the task ahead. She’s wearing a red jacket the hood pulled up over her head in a style similar to the classic fairytale. As she jumps down from the guard rail the screens around the arena begin to display familiar wording once more...

 

...E B D O N E N T E R T A I N M E N T P R E S E N T S...

...C H R I S T Y M A T T H E W S...

She begins to push her way down to ringside accompanied by Autumn Valentine and Pete Ebdon as security line the steps down through the crowd, holding back the fans in the way as they boo and jeer. Christy makes her way down to the barricade, leaping over and begins climbing the outside of the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope, pulling down the hood of her jacket and striking the mock-crucifix pose once more. As the second chorus of "King of the World" hits Christy sings along with the lyrics, continuing to strike the crucifix pose before finally leaping over the top rope and spinning around in the ring, as Ebdon walks over and grabs a microphone. Autumn turns to Christy as Christy looks around.

 

Sharper: “Christy Matthews challenged both Greg Cherry and Katie Steward on Ammo to a match at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and seemed to say to bring it. She wants that moment on Rise to Greatness. But I think she may be pulling too much. Greg and Katie are going to do what they can to get it too!”

 

Ebdon hands the microphone to Christy and Christy smiles as she looks around.

 

Christy: “It has been just over a year since I made my debut in SCW and had my entire personal life plastered in front of the world. And just under a year after I was left off of the SCW Rise to Greatness pre-show, I will be going into Rise to Greatness to face Katie Steward and Greg Cherry in a triple threat match.”

 

Christy smiles as she looks around.

 

Christy: “It’s amazing how things change in a year and it’s gotten me to thinking. Where do I want to be next year? Come Rise to Greatness 2012, where do I want to be? This past year, I challenged for the World Tag Team and World Championships. I competed in my first Breakdown, Ammo and Pay Per View main events. I busted Shawn Winters open in front of the world and at Rise to Greatness, I will face a former four time World Champion and a former six time Women’s Champion.....two people who think they are at the top of the roster. And what’s going to happen when I drop them, ending their fairy tales Happily Never After in front of the world. The girl who wasn’t even on the damn card last year who just two weeks after Rise to Greatness attacked CHBK backstage....SHE defeats Katie Steward and Greg Cherry in Minnesota on July 24th!”

 

The crowd roars and boos.

 

Christy: “And all of this started because Greg Cherry wasn’t happy about some of my comments and because Katie Steward is jealous of me. Well, that’s no shock. Greg Cherry has been barely stable the last six months ever since he wagered his wife for the World Championship. Katie Steward has proven to have lost her mind as she still comes out and over and over again demands concessions to be made. I haven’t even had the best year, but that changes at Rise to Greatness. Because I have ONE goal. I have made it clear that titles are great, but I want to be known as one of the best. And come Rise to Greatness 2012, one way or another, I’m going to do everything I can to be in the main event of the biggest show of the year. It’s what everyone dreams of...but me...in two years, I go from not even being on the show, to defeating two of SCW’s so-called top stars....to being the top star!”

 

The crowd roars.

 

Christy: “So Katie....Greg....thank you.....Thank you for putting me on this path. Because at Rise to Greatness, I will do everything I can possibly do to welcome you to the new reality that Christy Matthews will be one of SCW’s top stars from here on out. Thank you for driving me to do this-“

 

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system. Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen. This beautiful display encourages and prompts the crowd to start to boo at their Goddess. A few moments pass and Katie Steward walks out from the back with TJ Johnson by her side. TJ Johnson holds the microphone before turning to Katie Steward. Katie stops as the music fades out. Christy just looks at Katie and scoffs.

 

Katie: “It’s a shame that I have to come out here and ruin the hopes and dreams of someone as mentally unstable as yourself. But a Goddess has to do what a Goddess has to do. After you failed at becoming the first female World Champion....a task that I, and ONLY I, will accomplish, I have to inform you that you will be going nowhere. See Christy, you’ve been thinking you’re so high up there on the roster, when in fact, you, now, and always will be, below me. I am SCW’s dominant female. You got that!”

 

Katie pauses as the crowd boos. She looks around at the crowd and glares.

 

Katie: “So Christy, while you think you may be main eventing next year’s event, you’re in the true main event this year, only because of myself. And this year, we will be seeing the end of Christy Matthews’ so called goals for greatness. The only thing that will be seen is that I will prove I am better than Greg Cherry again, I am better than you, and I am better than everyone. And Sasha can sit back and watch, because I will say it now, watch Rise to Greatness, because when I defeat both of you in this match, there will be no doubt that I will be the next number one contender to the SCW World Championship and I will then succeed where Christy, YOU failed. I’ve actually touched the title. I was screwed over it ALL three times I’ve had my shot. After this, it’s time for the Queen to take their throne as the RIGHTFUL World Champion and that will be with you and Greg bowing down in respect to ME!”

 

Christy just mouths “You wish!” as TJ Johnson backs up and applauds. He then moves the microphone back.

 

Katie: “Just be happy that you’ve pissed me off because otherwise, we’d have to hear your complain for another year about not being on Rise to Greatness. Just don’t take the name literally...you won’t be doing anything but watching me put you in your place! TJ!”

 

Christy Matthews just shakes her head as Katie Steward just smiles, standing on the stage as TJ backs up. He then turns and Katie turns around and starts to head to the back.

 

Sharper: “Well both Christy Matthews and Katie Steward making their goals clear for Rise to Greatness.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah, but Greg Cherry doing the smart thing. Staying backstage.”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, only one will have their goal achieved. Two people are going to be disappointed regardless come Rise to Greatness.”

 

Katie disappears as TJ follows after. Christy Matthews turns to Autumn and Ebdon and just shakes her head as they just all scoff in disbelief of Katie’s arrogance.

Breakdown cuts backstage as we see Jessica Winters with Marina Trent backstage. The crowd roars seeing this as Jessica turns to Marina.

 

Jessica: “Marina, you’ve got a huge opportunity coming up at Rise to Greatness. You’re going to get a chance to regain your Women’s Championship in a steel cage match.”

 

Marina: “It’s certainly going to be interesting. I mean, you place the Black Swan in with two individuals who probably care quite a bit about how they look and in an environment where those looks can be destroyed and it will be interesting to see what happens. No escape either. So you have to beat someone else in that match. Well, I’ve proven in the past I can beat both and I hold to the fact that on Ammo a few weeks ago, I was going to be the new Women’s Champion. Syren can’t deny that, but Katelyn in fact did by getting physically involved and so I returned the favour. But come Rise to Greatness, I will have that second opportu-“

 

Suddenly, Marina is nailed from behind by a golden belt as Marina falls forward, holding the back of her head in pain. The camera pans out and shows Syren standing behind Marina, brandishing the Women’s Championship.

 

Syren: “That’s the closest you’re going to get to this Marina. It’s not going anywhere.”

 

Jessica looks just shocked. Syren turns to her.

 

Syren: “What? Everyone else seems to be doing it. May as well be like the popular kids.”

 

Syren turns and walks off as the crowd boos. Marina winces, holding her head and starting to stir, clearly looking unimpressed as the scene fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns as we see Marisa Condolesa standing outside of the locker room of Greg Cherry and Greg Cherry standing next to her. The crowd roars seeing him. He just smiles a bit.

 

Marisa: “Welcome back to Breakdown. I am here with Greg Cherry and moments ago, we heard comments from Katie Steward and Christy Matthews.”

 

Cherry then stops her.

 

Cherry: “I know you’re looking for comments. Here’s my comment....let the girls keep talking. They want the world to know what they think and what they want to do. Fine with me. I’ve done enough talking in the last few months. God knows that. For once, I’m going to let this match speak for itself. You’ve got Katie and Christy who have issues with one another. Christy has some issues with me. I have some issues with her. I want a win against Katie Steward. I want to curb that. I’m going to let my actions at Rise to Greatness speak for themselves.”

 

Marisa: “What about the thoughts that this match could have title implications?”

 

Cherry: “It’s no secret that I wouldn’t mind a rematch after Riding the Lightning. I’ll leave it at that.”

 

Greg Cherry then turns and walks back to his locker room and walks inside. Marisa Condolesa turns to the camera.

 

Marisa: “Greg Cherry, a man of few words tonight, but Rise to Greatness, the talking will be over with three very hungry people going at it for pride. Back to ringside.”

Shilo Valiant vs. Dillusion

 

The screen suddenly goes to static and then there is a blast of pyro that falls from seemingly the sky onto the entrance way with a giant crashing noise. “Crazy Train” by My Bloody Valentine begins to pump through the arena speakers. The camera moves into the entrance way where there is a large mass of fire. The fire grows several feet high on the big screen it shows a figure kneeling in the center of the flames. The figure slowly rises and looks directly at the camera as it slowly zooms in. This reveals Dillusion eyeing the camera with a sadistic look, stepping forward through the flames, licking his lips.

He then moves down the entrance way looking through the audience walking at a slow methodical pace. He laughs a little and then rolls under the middle rope. He kneels in the center of the ring he snaps at the direction of the audience and then leaps up to his feet rushing to the other side of the ring, leaping up onto the middle rope and making a gun sign and pointing out to the audience. The camera moves in close as you can see his lips move forming the word “BANG” which is followed by a massive explosion of pyro behind him.

 

Sharper: “Dillusion is going to be facing Shilo Valiant here. The World and US Champion. A bit of a solid test to prepare against Josh Hudson.”

 

Kayl: “But Hudson will be watching. That’s for sure. He’s not going to miss this possible opportunity.”

 

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams the word "NECRO!" across the sound system!

So hold on until it's over

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

The spotlight and camera search around the arena as "I'm Here for Your Entertainment" by Adam Lambert screams through the arena, the cameras and lights trying to locate the elusive Necro-Merchant. They quickly spot a growing fog near the entryway of the ramp.

Oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment

The fans yells only grow louder as from seeming below the ground, Shilo shoots out of the ground as fireworks shoot out around him, the neon lights causing his face and colored hair to glow in eerie colors. Landing on the ground, Shilo spins around on the spot gingerly, marveling at the massive audience and shouting back at them. The word "Necro" is heard again, which Shilo returns by shouting the same word.

'Sall right
You'll be fine
Baby I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes, not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'm gonna work it 'til your totally blown

Making his way down the ramp limping, he takes out two vial guns from his belt and holds them up, his feet planted as blue fire shoots from the stage behind him. As the fire raises then dies, the lights return to normal, revealing Shilo in full color.

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on 'til it's over

Making his way to the audience, Shilo is approached by fans who hand him money for a hit from his vial guns of necro. As he takes the payment and gives the fan what they want, both Shilo and the fans yell Necro.

Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I am about to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment

Returning to the match, Shilo tosses the now empty guns away and slides into the ring, staying on his stomach to view the hungry crowd. Standing up, he makes his way over to the turnbuckle, jumps on and shouts to the fans and finger shooting them as if he still had his vial guns.

I'M HERE FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!

 

Sharper: “Well, we’re going to see what condition those knees are.”

 

Kayl: “I’ve made it clear that I think this is stupid. But with Shawn Winters around, even more so. Against Dillusion, just plain dumb.”

 

The bell sounds and the crowd roars as Dillusion and Shilo Valiant walk around the ring. Valiant limps slightly, but tries to hide it. Dillusion looks at Shilo and the two lunge for the grapple and Dillusion quickly moves into a leg sweep. Shilo lands on his back and Dillusion drops down to a knee and grabs the leg of Shilo, but Shilo nails him with a hard kick to the head. Dillusion turns away and Shilo kicks him again. Dillusion stumbles up to his feet and Shilo rolls over. Dillusion turns back and Shilo nails him with a shot to the ribs before to the head. He then whips Dillusion into the ropes. Dillusion bounces off the ropes and Shilo jumps up and hits a calf kick to the jaw. Dillusion falls to the mat and starts to get back up. Shilo grabs him and turns before throwing him head first into the top turnbuckle across the ring. Shilo then nails him with a hard right to the jaw before a chop. The crowd woos and Shilo then grabs Dillusion and whips him across the ring, into the opposite corner.

 

Kayl: “So far that knee looks good.”

 

Sharper: “Dillusion went at it at the start, but Shilo’s managed to protect it thus far.”

 

Shilo runs across and jumps up to the middle rope and nails Dillusion with a couple of hard rights. Dillusion however then slips through and steps forward. Shilo glances back and dives back with a moonsault, taking down Dillusion.

He rolls over and gets up and Dillusion nails him with a hard right before grabbing him and hitting a headbutt. Shilo falls back to the ropes. Dillusion then grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Shilo bounces off the ropes and Dillusion lowers his head too soon. Shilo counters with a kick to the chest. Dillusion pops up and Shilo attempts a clothesline, but Dillusion ducks that and spins around. Shilo then stops and turns around and Dillusion grabs him and throws him over with a belly to belly suplex.

 

Kayl: “Dillusion ducking and dodging there before just launching Shilo!”

 

Sharper: “Dillusion was caught with that kick, but shook it off and connected with a nice belly to belly suplex and Shilo Valiant is in trouble.”

 

Shilo rolls over and starts to get up. He turns back to Dillusion and Dillusion lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop. He then grabs Shilo and throws him back with a bridging northern lights suplex.

Shilo gets his shoulder up. Dillusion looks up and Shilo rolls over and starts to get up and Dillusion grabs him and drags him up before clubbing him in the back a few times.

 

Sharper: “Dillusion is going for the back. He may be thinking about another suplex.”

 

Kayl: “Go for the leg. What are you doing? Just go for it. It’s got a giant bullseye and Shilo earlier tonight did nothing to really relieve that!”

 

Dillusion then spins Shilo around and snapmares him down. He turns and runs into the ropes in front of him and bounces off them before nailing Shilo with a running knee to the side of the head. He then follows up with a pin.

Shilo then rolls over and gets up and walks over to the corner. He then climbs up to the top rope. Dillusion however gets up and grabs Shilo by the legs before pulling him back onto his shoulders. He then steps back, having Shilo up for an electric chair drop.

 

Kayl: “One risk too many. Only one way to go!”

 

Sharper: “Electric chair position. Dillusion has the World Champion precariously on his shoulders!”

 

Dillusion steps back a bit more, before Shilo manages to slide down behind Dillusion. He winces a bit before grabbing Dillusion by his arm and around his neck before lifting him up and throwing him down with the Morning Star. The crowd ohs and Shilo turns and hooks the leg.

The crowd cheers and Shilo rolls off. He then starts to get up as the crowd roars some more. Shilo walks over to the ropes and then looks up before being handed his two titles. He then walks over to the corner nearest the rampway before climbing up to the middle rope and holding the two titles up over his head. The crowd roars, before the roars start to grow louder.

 

Sharper: “Shilo wins, but look! Winters!”

 

Kayl: “Shilo! Look out!”

 

Shilo turns a bit and sees Winters as he jumps up and grabs Shilo by the leg and pulls through, and Shilo slips, yelling out in pain as Winters pulls Shilo’s bad leg right down on the middle rope. The crowd starts to boo as Winters then pulls on the leg and places it under his arm. Shilo drops his titles and starts to swing through the ropes, trying to connect with right hands, but Winters is out of reach. The camera gets right up close to them, showing the mix of pain and anger on the face of Shilo Valiant as Winters has him trapped.

 

Kayl: “That leg!”

 

Sharper: “Shawn Winters has that leg such that it’s grinding against the rope. There’s little give. That’s just stretching it further and maybe exacerbating that injury.”

 

Kayl: “Is this what Winters was saying about facts? Showing truth. That Shilo’s not one hundred percent two and a half weeks before Rise to Greatness?”

 

Winters just smiles as he keeps pulling.

 

Winters: “You’re so confident there Shilo! What’s wrong? Did you take the wrong step?”

 

Winters smirks as the crowd boos as Shilo keeps swinging, but failing as he grimaces in pain.

 

Winters: “You like facts. Well, I have one. I don’t like to lose! And I have another one.”

 

Winters then jumps up onto the apron and jumps down and throws Shilo’s leg violently against the middle rope, causing him to yell in pain and roll over, grasping his leg. Shawn Winters just smiles and looks at him.

 

Winters: “You’ve only got one leg to stand on.”

 

Winters then backs up and smiles before looking at the World Championship. He then reaches in and grabs it before looking at it. Shilo looks over, and reaches, still yelling in pain before Winters holds it next to him.

 

Winters: “See how easy it was for me to take it from you. Another fact....”

 

Winters just smirks before looking at the title and smiling before placing it on the apron and backing up. Shilo continues to yell in pain as Winters gets to the rampway. The referee checks on Shilo Valiant.

 

Kayl: “He may have just worsened that injury tenfold.”

 

Sharper: “Could’ve torn something. And we may mention Shawn Winters’ arrogance...but he’s one of the most technically-sound wrestlers. And he just reminded us-“

 

Kayl: “No. Not just us....but Shilo Valiant.”

 

Sharper: “Yeah. He reminded Shilo Valiant that.”

 

Kayl: “The kid needs to realize he has to pace himself! Shawn Winters will destroy him and he’ll do anything to ensure that!”

 

Winters just smiles as he turns around and walks to the back. He then dusts his hands off before throwing his arms in the air and smiling. The crowd boos as Winters turns and continues to the back.

COMMERCIAL:

Breakdown returns and we open up backstage to see Shaun Cruze standing next to Jessica Winters as the crowd cheers. Shaun Cruze smiles a bit as Jessica Winters turns to him.

 

Jessica: “Well Shaun, you’ve been officially added to the scaffold scramble match at Rise to Greatness, the final two spots were filled when Christian Savior and Ace Marshall were added. You’ve got a bit of history with the one.”

 

Cruze: “Oh yes and this match takes a bit of a personal tinge to it for myself. Savior and I go back to the old IWC days and we’ve had our issues. But if he wants to move on and go for the spirit of competition, I’m all for it. But I’m going to keep my eye on him. The fact is that this match has six people in it, myself included, that want to win a title shot. They want to win an opportunity. Savior I know, at the end of the day, will do anything to get it. Masquerade same thing. Ace, sure as hell will do it. Look at tonight. Thorn. Same. Lohan. Same. Me....Well I look at this as a chance to make my name here. I’ve been tearing through the competition and I’ve had some issues as of late. But Rise to Greatness, a win there would be huge for my career.”

 

Cruze pauses for a moment.

 

Cruze: “The people in that match are some of the brightest stars in SCW. You’ve got two former World Champions. You’ve got former number one contenders. You’ve got former Adrenaline Champions. You’ve got everything. Everyone is dangerous. The match itself is dangerous. And I’m looking forward to the challenge. Two and a half weeks away. I can’t wait.”

 

Jessica: “And neither can we. Thank you for your time Shaun.”

 

Cruze just nods before walking off.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

Shorty Jr. vs. Alex Desoubrais Jr.

 

“Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me” plays throughout the arena and the lights strobe around the entrance way as Alex Desoubrais Jr. in a fur coat and sunglasses, walks out from the back, with Rachel Foxx to his side. Alex Jr. admires the crowd before stopping and posing at the top of the entrance way. The crowd cheers and Desoubrais Jr. makes his way down to the ring before walking over to the steel steps. He holds Rachel’s arm as she walks up the steps and he then hops onto the apron and holds the ropes down as Rachel enters. He enters the ring before spinning around and looking to the crowd behind him with his arms outstretched, getting furious boos from the crowd. He then slides off his coat and looks around before placing the coat on the outside. He then leans back into his corner as Rachel Foxx exits the ring and leans on the ropes over his shoulder and glares at the entrance way.

 

Sharper: “At Rise to Greatness, Rachel Foxx and Alex Desoubrais Jr. get their hands on Shorty Jr. and Justin Davis. But tonight, Alex Jr. has a chance to get some revenge against Shorty Jr.”

 

Kayl: “Alju is going to look to kick some ass and make a statement that you don’t mess with Rachel and Alju!”

 

Lights are shut off in the arena as the sound of the engine of a car starting up is heard as well as sounds of shots firing across with the shattering of glass. Fans begin to boo as “Ready or Not (Gonna Find You)” by JC Blade begins to eerily play across the PA system. Vivid images of Shorty Junior left in a bloody heap and laid out with his body limp on the ground from a steel chair to the head flash back and forth. Clips of him holding up the United States title as well as hitting the All-Star slam on several people are shown.


"From New York, New York...'THE BABY-FACED ASSASSIN' SHORTY JUNIOR!"


The camera cuts to the top of the ramp where a solitary light shines down on Junior who stands with his back to the crowd. Wearing a black hooded jacket with matching sweat pants, he pulls down the hood slowly and turns around. Justin Davis then walks out and joins him and the two smile. Shorty Jr. walks down to the middle of the ramp and stops, with Davis a few strides behind him. He spreads his arms out as orange pyros set off in the air from left to right at the top of the ramp. The lights come back on as he slides into the ring. He takes off his jacket and sweat pants as he waits and Alex Desoubrais Jr. runs forward as the crowd roars.

 

Sharper: “And here we go! Alex Desoubrais Jr. going right after Davis.”

 

Kayl: “He used to hold back, and damn, he’s fighting for his girl!”

The crowd roars. Both men get up and Alex Jr. kicks Shorty in the ribs before throwing him back with a vertical suplex. Shorty Jr. rolls over as Davis just look at Rachel and waves before smirking.

Alex Jr. stumbles back and Shorty Jr. runs out and clotheslines him down.

 

Sharper: “Alex Jr. getting too over-zealous and caught by Shorty Jr.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. He’s got to keep his head. You’ve got Davis and Rachel on the floor. And I already see them flashing looks at each other.”

 

Sharper: “A lot of hatred out here at ringside.”

 

Alex Jr. starts to get up and Shorty Jr. grabs him and clubs him in the back. He then nails him with a forearm shiver. Alex falls back to the ropes. Shorty Jr. then smirks before jumping up and hitting a dropkick, knocking Alex Jr. up and over the top rope and to the floor, right by Davis. Shorty Jr. turns back and grabs the referee’s attention as Davis looks at Rachel and waves before kicking Alex Jr. in the ribs as he starts to get up. The crowd boos and Davis then stomps him in the head before lifting him up and rolling him into the ring. Rachel starts to move around and Shorty turns back to Alex Jr. stomping him in the back as the referee goes over to Rachel and tells her to get back.

Kayl: “How smart is that if you’re going to go to the top rope though?”

 

Shorty Jr. exits to the apron, staying on the side of the ring with Davis before climbing up to the top rope. Alex Jr. remains down in pain and Shorty Jr. dives off and hits an elbow drop to the chest. The crowd boos and Shorty Jr. goes for the pin.

Alex Jr. gets up and Shorty Jr. gets up and turns before Alex Jr. jumps up and takes him over with a hurricanrana before mounting him and hammering away at him with hard right hands. The crowd roars as Shorty Jr. starts to cover up.

 

Sharper: “Alex Jr. coming back. Hurricanrana takes over Shorty Jr.”

The crowd roars and Shorty Jr. spins off and falls to the ground. Rachel then backs up, almost showing some restraint and Davis walks over to Shorty Jr. to help him up. Alex Jr. backs up and the referee turns and tells Davis to gets away. Davis snaps back and helps Shorty Jr. to his feet. Alex Jr. just shakes his head before running over to the corner and jumping to the middle turnbuckle before the top turnbuckle and then diving off  with a flip dive off the top rope and onto both Shorty Jr. and Justin Davis! The crowd erupts in cheers.

 

Sharper: “Oh my God! Alex Desoubrais Jr. goes airborne and takes out both Davis and Shorty Jr.!”

 

Kayl: “We may be getting that tag match sooner than we think! Alex Jr. just took out both of them!”

The crowd continues to cheer before the referee gets up, calling for the bell and throwing out the match.

 

Kayl: “Ref’s throwing it out.”

 

Sharper: “Pandemonium in the ring as these four are just throwing down here tonight.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah and just think when they’re all legally in the match at Rise to Greatness!”

 

The crowd boos a bit as Alex Jr. kicks Shorty Jr. in the ribs and Shorty Jr. reaches up and rakes his eyes before dropping down and rolling to the floor. Davis grabs the ropes as Rachel keeps stomping away and manages to pull himself out of the ring to the floor. He looks back as Rachel keeps trying to kick at him from the ring and Alex Jr. walks over and pulls her back. Justin Davis gets up and stumbles around the ring before rejoining Shorty Jr. on the other side. Alex Jr. and Rachel then turn and look at them, both fuming and Rachel keeps yelling at them to get back into the ring.

 

Sharper: “This feud that keeps getting more and more personal. Rachel Foxx wants Justin Davis. Rachel Foxx wants Shorty Jr.!”

 

Kayl: “And at Rise to Greatness, she’ll get both of them with Alju in her corner!”

 

The crowd continues to cheer as Rachel and Alex Desoubrais Jr. stand tall in the middle of the ring and Shorty Jr. and Justin Davis start to retreat.

We then suddenly cut backstage to hear screaming as the cameraman starts to run down the hallway. The cameraman jogs down a bit, causing the camera to shake back and forth before he turns and looks into the Rejected locker room and we see Ducky on the floor, just covering her eyes and screaming as Wallace turns and holds her as the camera pans up to show a mannequin dressed as Dillusion hanging from the ceiling. We then see Dillusion looking at it and smiling. He just slowly smiling before he pokes it, causing it to sway a bit. He then starts to cackle before full on laughing. Dillusion continues to laugh as Wallace looks completely confused as Ducky continues to just cover her head.

COMMERCIAL:

The scene opens with a shot of Thorn holding the World Championship, celebrating.

 

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

 

This fades to a shot of pyro going off at the entrance way before showing Karnivale standing on the stage and then showing James Exeter looking out at the crowd on the entrance way. This is followed with a shot of Jason Zero spearing Brian Kinney down in the middle of the ring.

Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion

And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness

 

While the rapping of B.o.B. is heard, we see shots of Lucas Knight celebrating a win over CHBK and then a shot of Shawn Winters hitting the Graven Image on James Exeter after he attempts the shooting star press. This is followed by a shot of Adam Riddick being thrown off the top of a ladder from the middle of the ring to the floor before showing Greg Cherry holding the United States Championship over his head.


And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

We then see a packed crowd at Yankee Stadium, before showing the opening pyro from last year’s Rise to Greatness event. This is followed by a shot of CHBK standing over Damian Angel, before then showing Xander Valentine booting Chad Evans in the jaw, knocking him down. After we see Syren and Ravyn Taylor holding the World Tag Team Championship over his head and then seeing Dillusion looking at the packed arena around him as he makes his way down to the ring.

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

The Rise to Greatness logo comes onto the screen before slowly fading out and showing “Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome – Minneapolis, Minnesota” with “July 24, 2011” underneath. This then turns to say “Two and a Half Weeks Away!” The logo then slowly fades to black.

Breakdown returns and we open up at ringside to show Adam Sharper and Donovan Kayl at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to Breakdown and tonight has been a very chaotic night to say the least.”

 

Kayl: “And just think of what next Breakdown will break. We’re just two and a half weeks away from Rise to Greatness.”

 

Sharper: “And of course, people are making their intentions as usual. But none perhaps as obviously as Shilo Valiant and Shawn Winters.”

 

Kayl: “Shilo Valiant reminds us earlier about the statistics with regards to the World Championship at Rise to Greatness. But Shawn Winters reminded us how dangerous he can be, especially when there’s something he wants.”

 

Sharper: “That said, Shilo Valiant’s knee has been iced down. He has been taken to the local hospital to ensure he isn’t more critically injured. But that’s not all we’ve had going on tonight.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. It’s official. CHBK and Jason Zero will happen at Rise to Greatness. And one stipulation was added. Zero, should he lose, he must remain on the roster for another year.”

 

Sharper: “A lot of big matches being made. Scaffold Scramble’s lineup has been confirmed. The Adrenaline Championship will be on the line. Gable Winchester is being order to face Stacy Kissinger at Rise to Greatness to help give Stacy closure. But one match that will happen at Rise to Greatness that may be the most personal in a long time....David Helms will face off against Ravyn Taylor.”

 

Kayl: “Yeah. Almost a year in the making. It’s been a wild ride for both of them. And let’s take a look at their history.”

 

The camera focuses on Donovan Kayl and Adam Sharper for a moment longer before fading to black.

We see a shot of Ravyn Taylor smiling slyly while standing at ringside before showing a shot of David Helms celebrating a win with his arms up high over his head. “Not in Love” by Crystal Castles w/ Robert Smith starts to play in the background.

 

I saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door
won't give you my heart
no one lives there anymore
and we were lovers
now we can't be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough

 

We see shots of Infamous attacking Jake Starr at the end of his match with Lucas Knight at Apocalypse. We see a shot of Christy Matthews hitting the leg drop off the top rope through the announce table on Jake Starr, as we see Thorn, CHBK, Greg Cherry and David Helms all running down before showing Infamous cutting them off. This is followed with a shot of static before showing Christy Matthews and Lucas Knight hitting the Monarchy Rules/Double Stomp combo on Jake Starr. We see it again before we show Thorn and David Helms running down and sliding into the ring. This is followed with a shot of Infamous celebrating and we see Ravyn Taylor standing with him before focusing on Ravyn Taylor some more. The scene goes to static again as we see Thorn and David Helms facing off against Dark Fantasy on Breakdown and showing Thorn grabbing Syren stiffly by the hair, before kicking her hard in the ribs and looking around before showing Helms trying to stop him and then showing Thorn shaking his head as Ravyn just glares.

I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

 

As the chorus plays, we see shots of Syren and David Helms talking backstage, entirely friendly, before showing some of the tweets from their twitter accounts showing Helms apologizing for actions before flashing to static and showing David Helms and Thorn holding Syren back as Jake Starr hits a Shooting Five Star Frog Splash onto Ravyn Taylor. We then show it again before showing Syren diving to Ravyn and then showing David Helms looking back at the ring and flashing back to more tweets showing Syren wishing David Helms luck at the End of the Year Special and calling for a party if he had won.

Could it be that time has taken it's toll
won't take you so far, I am in control
and we were lovers
now we can't be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough

 

Static shows again before we see David Helms rolling Jake Starr up in a small package as we hear Jake Starr’s voice in the background.

 

Starr: “What I did in Japan was me opening your eyes. So I made some jokes with sock puppets that you and Syren were doing the horizontal mambo....it was a joke. Unlike the fact that now every time I hear anything involving you, Syren seems to be right around. I go on Twitter, she’s wishing you luck. She’s thanking you for something. She’s talking about having drinks with you. I show up at Ammo to cheer you on and instead find out that you shared a cab with her to get to the arena.”

 

We see stills of Jake Starr, before showing a freezed shot of Jake Starr and his sock puppets from his Japanese talk show appearance, before showing Helms and Starr in the ring glaring and then showing Helms and Syren showing up to the arena together and then showing Helms celebrating with the World Championship at the End of the Year Special. The scene goes static again before we see Christy Matthews pinning Masquerade in the ring and falling back. She smiles as we then see Christy Matthews and David Helms standing in the ring. We see Christy Matthews and David Helms throwing blows at each other before showing Christy hitting the Happily Never After on the apron and showing her attempting several pins with David Helms kicking out of all of them. This is followed up with a shot of Helms hitting the New Jersey Neckbreaker.

 

Sharper: “David Helms has fought against the odds. Christy Matthews threw everything at him, but David Helms somehow, someway, prevailed and continues to reign as World Champion!”

 

We see Helms celebrating before the scene goes to static again.

I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love

 

When it comes back we see David Helms after having lost the World Championship to Greg Cherry at Riding the Lightning. We see him less than pleased as we see shots of Ravyn Taylor’s personally taped footage of Helms’ new baby and shots of Helms getting out of his car before showing shots of Kathryn Helms, David’s wife, in the shower, before showing a shot of Ravyn Taylor looking in the camera smiling before cutting a shot of Ravyn Taylor backstage smiling as Ravyn’s voice plays in the background.

 

Ravyn: “Well, anyone who frequently RTV, my online website, will have seen a very...personal look at Mr. Helms and his life and well, he didn’t seem to care for it. Now, if he bought into all of the crap he talks about respect and competition and keeping in the ring, he wouldn’t have attacked me....I guess he isn’t as noble as he thought....David...I’m not done trying to destroy your little facade. You keep talking about how you’re higher than us all. You’re on your pedestal and I know you’re getting sick of hearing the rumblings. Well, I’m going to help you...by knocking you off your perch and making you look up at Infamous as it should have been all along!”

 

We then see shots of Ravyn Taylor smirking in the ring as David Helms glaring and then getting distracted by Ryan Watson before getting beaten by Shawn Winters on Breakdown. We see shots David Helms looking less than pleased before showing David Helms standing in the ring with Kathryn Helms.

 

Helms: “See, the last few weeks....actually, the last year or so, I have had a little bit of a mosquito constantly being a problem for myself. Now, this mosquito at first didn’t really care too much for me. I wasn’t the focus. In fact, I was just the bit-player as they focused on their bigger prey. But then, at the start of this year, I became a focus. I became the person they wanted to knock off the proverbial perch. Now I have never wanted to be the hero, but you all have placed me there and that is a position I take with great pride. But apparently, because I actually CARE about the people around me, that makes me a hypocrite....”

 

We see shots of all of the previously shown periods in quick flash moments.

 

Helms: “This is my fight....and I’m going to do it on my terms. The way it should be done by resolving it in this ring at Rise to Greatness!”

 

The crowd cheers a bit, while some boos for not doing it tonight.

 

Helms: “Everyone knows of my problems with Ravyn Taylor. She has come out here and went after my wife and son just to make a point....So I’m going to make this plain and simple....Ravyn....you and I at Rise to Greatness....What do you say?!”

 

We then see Ravyn Taylor smirking as the music just plays in the background and we see her talking on the rampway.

 

Ravyn: “See, David, I’m not arrogant enough to believe I need to face you. In fact, I think I’ve already won. You’re the one pleading to me for a match. And you can run to Sasha and hope she’ll give you the match, but there’s one problem with that. Because see, I don’t have a nice contract like Alex has, so I can’t deflect the undeserving challenges...but what I do have is a genuine care for the SCW World Tag Team division...”

 

Helms: “So you’re running scared? That’s what it is. Can’t handle the consequences of your actions?”

 

Ravyn: “Don’t try to pin it on me David. You’re the one who attacked me backstage a month and a half ago. You’re the one that threw away your chances. I have nothing to gain by facing you. You’ll just have to live knowing that for the rest of your career, you’ll never have closure....I hope your kid is doing well though.”

 

This is followed up by showing Sasha Drachewych smiling and Ravyn Taylor and Syren standing in the ring less than impressed. This is followed up with Ravyn Taylor clearly unhappy and showing The Vintage Era, then the F-Ups, then Chase Cameron and Caleb Ayers, followed by the Chosen coming to the ring and we hear bell sounds right after each one before showing David Helms and Thorn coming down. Ravyn Taylor and Syren just back away, shaking their heads no before we go to Friday Night Ammo and show Sasha standing on the stage as Ravyn Taylor and Syren stand in the ring.

 

Sasha: “See, I know you’re going to take this the wrong way, but for once, you’re going to have to deal with the consequences. For the last year you have managed to do what you want and when you want it....and honestly, part of me does want to see you put in your place for once. Because I know you’re smart...but you’re going to be working overtime because at Rise to Greatness, you WILL face David Helms. You don’t have any contract like CHBK has. And after what you did to him, the least you can do is have the courage to face him in the middle of that ring. So Ravyn, start plotting!”

 

This is followed up with the last few moments of the song just playing in the background as Ravyn Taylor clearly shows her anger as David Helms walks out from the back smiling and looking at Sasha before taking a few steps to the ring and stopping, looking in the ring. The scene then fades on that visual before slowly fading to black.

Breakdown returns as “Spotlight” by Saliva plays in the background and we see the Rise to Greatness logo fly up on the screen.

 

Ravyn Taylor vs. David Helms

 

Kayl: “Almost a year in the making. Ravyn Taylor is going to have to face the consequences of her actions. She wanted to prove that David Helms is not a hero. Helms never claimed to be. But he’ll be doing a heroic action, in my books, if he wins at Rise to Greatness!

 

Scaffold Scramble

 

Sharper: “And it has been confirmed. The six combatants: Thorn, Masquerade, Brittany Lohan, Shaun Cruze, Ace Marshall & Christian Savior. One of those six individuals will walk out with a title shot to any title they desire. A lot of different interests in the match. A lot of different background and styles. And this is going to be a lot of risk for a big reward.”

 

Ryan Watson vs. Warren James

SCW Adrenaline Championship

 

Kayl: “Ryan Watson has accepted the challenge of Warren James at Rise to Greatness. Warren James attacked Watson as a sign of respect for Shaun Cruze in the six man tag team match last Breakdown when Billy Mitchell was removed by Infamous. Watson doesn’t seem to have much respect for Warren James and it may be mutual!”

 

Billy Mitchell vs. Lucas Knight

 

Sharper: “And speaking of Billy Mitchell, he’ll get the opportunity to what he wants and that’s show Infamous what a lack of respect will get them. He takes on the former World Champion Lucas Knight in what’s going to be a brawl!”

 

Gable Winchester vs. Stacy Kissinger

 

Kayl: “Gable Winchester told Stacy Kissinger he wanted her gone. Kicked her to the curb. Stacy has been a wreck since and Gable showing perhaps some feelings has even almost taunted her with a no-strings attached relationship. This has only further driven Stacy off the edge and Stacy gets a chance to maybe get some closure, but Gable Winchester is likely to look at this in a different way...a way to symbolically prove he’s better off without her.”

 

Hallucigen vs. Nicole Kinneck

 

Sharper: “Two of the more unhinged personalities, but one of the more personal matches this year at Rise to Greatness. Jealousy for Hallucigen towards Nicole Kinneck for her closeness with Dillusion caused him to snap and attack her and the Rejected. Since then, he has tried to show he is better than Kinneck, but in the process has only made the tensions worse. Kinneck gets her opportunity for revenge at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Rachel Foxx & Alex Desoubrais Jr. vs. Shorty Jr. & Justin Davis

 

Kayl: “Justin Davis turned on Rachel Foxx at Taking Hold of the Flame and joined in alliance with Shorty Jr. Majestic Wrestling returns but hell hath no fury like a pissed off crazy lady. And Rachel Foxx is just that. And with Alex Desoubrais Jr. by her side, she’ll be looking to show Davis he made the wrong move!”

 

Christy Matthews vs. Katie Steward vs. Greg Cherry

 

Sharper: “Christy Matthews says that at Rise to Greatness she’s going to start her quest to main event next years event. She hopes to do that by facing and defeating two of the top stars in SCW history. But Greg Cherry is looking to make his claim at a World Championship known while Katie Steward has had issues with Christy Matthews dating back to Retribution and her own desires to be the first female World Champion. Pride is on the line and only one can walk away the victor!”

 

Chad Evans & James Evans vs. James Exeter & Matt Hodges

 

Kayl: “This is not how any of the four would prefer it, but they’ll take it. Chad Evans has had to deal with James Evans wanting to make his career off defeating Exeter and Hodges. Hodges and Exeter meanwhile want to show God himself that he’s been anything but Godly and in the process also cooling his momentum. Earlier tonight, Chad Evans seemed distant, but is he just plotting or is there something else going on here?”

 

Dillusion vs. Josh Hudson

Hangman’s Horror

 

Sharper: “Josh Hudson has sent Saber to go after Dillusion and at Rise to Greatness he wants to choke out the last breaths from Dillusion’s career. Hudson has been a technical purist for his entire career and Dillusion represents the exact opposite. But the brutality of this match lends itself to Dillusion’s style and Dillusion may be looking to enact some sick and brutal torture on the former two time World Champion.”

 

Jake Starr vs. Adam Allocco

 

Kayl: “Jake Starr returned and has made a beeline for Shawn Winters who has taunted him for months. But Winters has asked a favour from Adam Allocco, the man who handed Kayl’s first loss and former Greaternity member. Can he do it for a second time and had Jake Starr a massive loss as he looks to re-establish his dominance and gun for Shawn Winters or will Jake Starr do as he said and keep that list of people who hold two victories over him to a select few?”

 

Marina Trent vs. Katelyn Buehler vs. Syren

SCW Women’s Championship

Steel Cage Match

 

Sharper: “Three women who hate each other. Syren has made her career on being one of the most competitive females. Marina Trent has been the black swan, figuratively with her unique style. Katelyn Buehler wants to look good and be champion. Three different styles and they all hate each other. They have to win by pin or submission in a cage match that will certainly showcase the competitiveness of the Women’s division, but also ensure that their issues are resolved!”

 

CHBK vs. Jason Zero

 

Kayl: “I’m going to be winner either way. I hate both of them and either way, someone is going to suffer with a loss. Eight years in the making. SCW’s greatest rivals. If CHBK wins, Zero can never challenge for the World Championship again and has to remain employed on the active roster for a year. If Zero wins, CHBK is gone forever. An era will end regardless at Rise to Greatness and both men wouldn’t have it any other way!”

 

Shawn Winters vs. Shilo Valiant

SCW World Championship

 

Sharper: “And the main event. The World Championship. The match everyone dreams of being. Shilo Valiant faces arguably his biggest test. What condition is his knee in? Shawn Winters meanwhile has guaranteed he will walk out of Rise to Greatness Champion. But last time Shawn Winters was in the main event, he lost the title and disappeared for sixteen months. Who will leave Rise to Greatness on top of the world?”

 

Kayl: “Who’s going to stand in the spotlight and rise to the occasion? Who’s going to break under the pressure? It’s Rise to Greatness. The biggest show of the year!”

 

Sharper: “And it is two and a half weeks away. July 24, only on pay per view! We can’t wait. It’s going to be nothing short of historic!”

“Rescue Me” starts to play as we see the screen go from the Rise to Greatness logo to the Breakdown logo and showing Ravyn Taylor vs. Jason Zero on the screen.

 

Kayl: “And we’re going to see Ravyn Taylor face Jason Zero tonight.”

 

Sharper: “CHBK and David Helms are here as well. What may happen in our main event tonight? That match...is next!”

 

The scene then fades to black.

COMMERCIAL:

Ravyn Taylor vs. Jason Zero

 

Darkness engulfs the arena as we hear the eerie sound of something tapping against glass. After a few moments there comes a whisper in the sound of a woman’s voice of one short, iconic word – “NEVERMORE”. With that “Open Your Eyes” by Guano Apes blasts across the PA system as the lights come back up again and the screens fill with text.

 

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

After a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn Taylor makes her way out on to the stage dressed in a pink ring-jacket with fur trim and hood. She stands there for a few moments before the curtains part one again and Autumn Valentine and Syren make their way out on to the stage. Syren, who’s wearing a ring-jacket that matches Ravyn’s, stands back to back with her and the two of them pose while Autumn ducks down in front of them. They both have the World Tag Team Championships in their hands. After a few moments the trio begin to make their way down to the ring. Autumn slides in under the bottom rope while Ravyn climbs the ring steps and steps between the ropes. Syren leaps on to the apron and ducks under the middle rope, wiggling her ass for the fans as she does so. Ravyn and Syren then climb the turnbuckles, standing on the middle turnbuckles as Autumn poses on the ropes in between the duo. Syren and Autumn both point over Ravyn as she poses confident and Syren shouts out at the booing fans. Autumn rolls out of the ring as Syren and Ravyn pose together again in the corner with Syren grabbing Ravyn’s hand and spinning her around and then kissing her to cheers from the crowd. Ravyn collapses in to a seated position, fanning herself with her hand as Syren giggles and rolls out of the ring.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor seems to be in a much better mood than we found her earlier.”

 

Kayl: “So what did they plan? What is going to happen here? Is Zero walking into a trap?”

 

The crowd stirs a bit before the lights dim and a hush comes over the audience. The big screen suddenly goes static and this static starts to form a shape that all the audience recognizes. The audience cheers as they recognize the face of Jason Zero. The face smiles before saying.

The Kingdom Of Old Is Dead.
The Order Has Fallen.
Now Is The Rise Of A New Kingdom
Of Chaos

The familiar electric guitar starts playing Crush 40’s “Knight of the Wind” while some fans of the proclaimed Crusader of Chaos holds up their lighters as a trap door opens from the stage ramp.

Wooaaah, Woooooah

Slowly, a large glass orb and two metal towers rise. We can see the silhouette of a man kneeling in that orb. As the lyrics start, he slowly rises out stretching his arms at a 45 degree angle.

Hey all (Hey all)
Welcome to the greatest storm.
I know, I know.
You have waited much too long
And I (And I)
I will be your shining star.
I’m here (I’m here)
You Better conquer fear or run!

Suddenly the two metal towers spring to life shooting bright purple and pink electricity at the orb. The man inside does not shy from this and within a few seconds the orb implodes, collapsing all around, leaving the man inside standing, exposed. Standing there is Jason Zero, his head to the sky, his eyes closed.

Like a sword, I'm brought
Into the heat of the day
Like a knight, I'll fight
Until the fight is won

In the reign, I save
Each and every
Each and every
Each and everyone
'Till this war is won

Zero looks around as the crowd cheers. He gives a grin before running down the ramp and then he slides inside it. He hops to the turnbuckle, reaching out with his arms and looking to the heavens.

And I'm meant to rule
By the sword
Slashing through the every inch of the power
The power in you

As I sit
As I stand
By chaos will I command
My kingdom

I'm a knight of the wind

The crowd boos as he then drops down as Ravyn rolls out of the ring. She then walks around the ring, joining Syren as Zero turns around and walks to the middle of the ring before turning to Ravyn.

 

Sharper: “Zero locks eyes with the female that has been bedding CHBK.”

 

Kayl: “Bedding? God, you’re old.”

 

Sharper: “Well....anyways, Ravyn Taylor quickly going to the floor.”

 

Ravyn looks up at Zero and smiles as Zero just stands in the middle of the ring and waits. He throws his arms up and backs up as Ravyn Taylor walks back and leans against the barricade. A couple of fans try to touch her, but she moves away before walking around the ring as Syren walks with her. The referee then walks over and tells Syren to get back to Autumn before telling Ravyn to enter the ring. The crowd boos as Ravyn turns and walks back the way she came from and intentionally stands with Syren. Zero just remains in the ring and leans against the ropes.

 

Kayl: “Looks like she’s not going to get into the ring.”

 

Sharper: “Seems that way.”

 

Ravyn Taylor just continues to wait on the floor as the crowd starts to boo louder. Ravyn Taylor then starts to walk back over to the rampway. She then looks up at the ring and climbs up onto the apron before dropping down as Zero just rolls his eyes and leans back in the corner, not even starting towards the brunette. Ravyn then just shakes her head before turning around and starting to head towards the back. She just scoffs as Syren even looks confused as she watches Ravyn start to walk to the back before the crowd cheers and we see David Helms walk out from the back. Ravyn stops and Syren then quickly runs around the ring and goes over towards the rampway. Helms just stands in the way of Ravyn and Ravyn just smirks before being seen talking to him.

 

Sharper: “David Helms is out now.”

 

Kayl: “And I don’t think Ravyn’s going to be allowed to leave. So either this is going to be the longest standoff in professional wrestling history or Ravyn Taylor is going to face Jason Zero.”

 

Helms just starts to advance towards Ravyn and Ravyn starts to back up. She looks less than pleased as she backs up and nearly trips before spinning around. Helms continues to walk towards the ring. We then see CHBK appear from the back and the crowd roars. CHBK looks unhappy as well and Ravyn then throws her arms up and rolls into the ring as Syren turns to Helms and the crowd roars before Ravyn runs over towards Zero and goes to kick him in the ribs, but Zero catches her by the foot. The crowd roars as Ravyn goes from a smirk to shock and Zero then lifts her up and drops her face first into the top turnbuckle and Ravyn falls back. She starts to get up as Helms gets to the ring and CHBK then walks over to him and spins him around.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn got into the ring and she just ran at Zero.”

 

Kayl: “Maybe thinking that she could catch him off guard. Not the case, but look at CHBK.”

 

Sharper: “He’s getting in Helms’ face!”

 

CHBK and Helms just look at each other and CHBK tells him to leave. Helms just shakes his head no as we see Zero lifting Ravyn up and throwing her down with a snap suplex. He then gets up and hits a leg drop before looking over to CHBK. Zero then gets up and grabs Ravyn and lifts her up. He wrenches the arm and whips her into the ropes. Ravyn bounces off the ropes and Zero back drops her down. Ravyn pops back up and Zero lifts her up onto his shoulders and hits a Samoan drop. He follows up with a pin attempt.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ravyn kicks out. Zero then rolls over and grabs Ravyn and drags her up. Ravyn however rakes his eyes. Zero stumbles back and Ravyn jumps up and dropkicks Zero back to a seated position to the corner.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn gets Zero down, but the bigger story may be outside of the ring as Syren is now going over to CHBK and Helms.”

 

Kayl: “Seriously, just hit both of them. Knock them down. You’re watching the match. Doing research! Waffle them!”

 

Zero starts to pull himself up and Ravyn runs over and nails him with a boot to the face, knocking him back down. Ravyn then stomps him in the face and then presses down, choking him with her boot. The referee goes over and calls for the break.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Ravyn steps off and backs up. Zero turns and starts to get up and Ravyn walks over and kicks him hard in the ribs as Syren joins in the yelling situation with Helms as CHBK just backs up and slinks past and goes over to ringside. Helms then tries to get past Syren, realizing something isn’t right and Syren stops him, holding him back before pushing him back. Syren snaps at him more as Helms just rolls his eyes. Meanwhile in the ring, Ravyn drops Zero with a DDT and the crowd boos before Ravyn goes for the pin.

 

1!

 

2!

 

Zero kicks out. Ravyn looks up before going over and seeing CHBK at ringside next to Autumn. She smirks a bit before grabbing Zero and slowly lifting him up.

 

Sharper: “Ravyn seems confident again.”

 

Kayl: “Oh I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.”

 

Sharper: “And Syren is really keeping Helms back.”

 

Kayl: “Seriously. Syren needs to get over herself and go stand with CHBK and Autumn. Helms is just keeping things kosher out here!”

 

Ravyn gets Zero to his feet before Zero suddenly nails Ravyn with a hard right. He then nails her again as the crowd roars. Ravyn then rakes the eyes and runs into the ropes, but Zero grabs her by the waist and spins around before turning and throwing her back with a German suplex. The crowd cheers and Ravyn rolls over. Syren meanwhile looks behind her and Helms tries to move, but Syren stops him again. Helms just turns and looks out as the crowd starts to boo Syren a bit. CHBK then taps Autumn on the shoulder and tells her something and Autumn runs over to help Syren. Helms tries again to get past, but Autumn now helps Syren in obstructing her. Helms just backs up a bit and turns before shaking his head and CHBK looks in the ring as Zero grabs Ravyn and whips her hard into the corner and she hits hard and bounces off before Zero lifts her up and onto his shoulder before dropping her down with the Card Crusher. At this point, the crowd roars and starts to boo and the camera turns to see Helms knocked forward and into the mats at ringside and we see Ravyn Taylor’s former associate, Marcus King standing over him. He then stomps away at Helms as Syren even helps out with a couple of kicks and the crowd boo. CHBK just smiles.

 

Sharper: “My God! That’s Marcus King! Ravyn Taylor’s former bodyguard. We haven’t seen him in months!”

 

Kayl: “That’s the phone call she had to be making. That’s why there was all of this swapping of position! That’s why Ravyn started to walk to the back!”

 

Sharper: “She knew Helms would come out to stop her. God damn it! It was a trap!”

 

Kayl: “But then what about CHBK with Zero?”

 

The referee at this point turns and sees this as Marcus King grabs Helms and lifts him up. The crowd boos loudly and King throws Helms into the steel steps. The official drops down and tries to break things up before we see a number of officials coming down from the back. The boos continue as Zero looks over and then turns to CHBK and CHBK just throws his arms back. Zero then grabs Ravyn and lifts her up before going for the Falcon in the Dive, hooking her up by the head. We then see Thorn run out from the back to check on his friend causing some cheers as officials then stop him and hold him back as Syren and Autumn back away and Marcus King backs up with them. Helms winces on the floor and Zero goes to lift Ravyn up and CHBK then enters into the ring, after having reached to the corner. He grabs the SCW World Tag Team Championship of Ravyn’s and gets up. Zero however throws Ravyn down anticipating this and nails CHBK with a boot to the face. CHBK throws the title down before we see something else roll out from underneath. Zero however nails CHBK with a couple of hard rights as the crowd roars. He then clotheslines him up and over the top rope. The crowd cheers before we see Ravyn grabbing the Hand of Midas, last seen at Taking Hold of the Flame, and Zero turns around only for Ravyn to nail him in the jaw with it. He falls and Ravyn throws the glove away to the corner as well as shoving the World Tag Team Championship towards CHBK and covering him. Syren gets the match official’s attention as the crowd roars and boos.

The crowd boos and Ravyn rolls off of Zero.

 

Sharper: “I don’t believe it!”

 

Kayl: “They did have a plan and Zero cut off CHBK, but the plan was that damn gauntlet of Zero’s! The same gauntlet CHBK took to cost Zero the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal!”

 

Sharper: “Symbolism all around. Ravyn Taylor steals a win. And Helms has been duped here. Infamous coming out on top!”

 

Kayl: “Ravyn Taylor brought it with her....and hid the gauntlet in the World Tag Team Championship belt. It looked like normal, but she had it hidden and all just for this....”

 

Sharper: “Two of the greatest minds in wrestling and they’re on the same side and same page and it showed here tonight. Two birds with one stone!”

 

CHBK starts to get up on the floor and smiles as Ravyn rolls over to him and grabs the World Tag Team Championship belt. CHBK just looks at the gauntlet and grabs it before tossing it towards Zero. Zero stirs as CHBK hugs Ravyn and Syren and Autumn then come over as does Marcus King. King just looks at Ravyn who smiles. Thorn manages to get through and help Helms up as Ravyn jumps up into the arms of King who holds her up. The crowd boos more and CHBK just smiles as Syren applauds. The boos continue as the scene slowly fades to black....
