The scene cuts to the inside
of the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Pyro shoots from
both ends of the stage and towards the middle before back out to the outside
and then all across the stage. Spotlights circle around the arena as the camera
pan throughout the arena, showing the many fans who have filed into the arena
standing and cheering, waving banners, signs, t-shirt and whatever else they
have. The cameras pan for a few moments before cutting to ringside to show Adam
Sharper and Shawn Winters at the announce table.
Sharper: “Welcome everyone to
Oklahoma for Breakdown and tonight, the semi-finals and the finals of the Best
of the Best Tournament take place! Adam Sharper here with Shawn Winters and
tonight, we’re going to see who was able to outlast sixty-three others.”
Winters: “Syren
from the Seattle Bracket. Helms from the Memphis one. Shaun Cruze from Toronto and Kennedy
Street, the World Champion, from Dallas. One of them is going to have
all of the bragging rights.”
Sharper: “And we’re not going
to waste any time. We’re kicking off, with our first semi-final match. Syren and David
Helms about to go at it!”
(1) Syren
vs. (2) David Helms
Best of the Best Tournament
Semi-Finals
“Groupie” by Cassie Steele
hits the PA system as the lights dim and the spotlights focus on the stage,
flashing intermittently between white and pink. After a few moments the
curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage
to a huge reaction from the crowd. She stands in the middle of the stage
looking out at the fans before smiling at the camera and, as the camera gets
closer to her, leaning in toward it with a confident nod. “I think they’re
ready for the best female wrestler in the world,” she tells the camera with a
smile. The fans continue to cheer as she turns around, pointing at the back of
her ring-jacket where we see the words ‘Just Be Jealous’ accompanied by her
heart-logo.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
She spins back around again before pointing at the ring, leaning in to the
camera again and smiling once again before telling the camera, “that’s it; it’s
time to steal the show!” The crowd cheer more as she begins to walk down toward
the ring, slapping hands on the way down to ringside before stopping at
ringside and jumping up on to the apron. She looks around again at the cheering
fans before ducking down, shaking her ass a little to another cheer from the
fans before ducking in under the second rope and walking across the ring,
climbing to stand on the middle turnbuckle and raises her hands in to the air.
After a few seconds of posing she blows a kiss out to the crowd and jumps down,
walking across the ring to the other side where again she stands on the middle
turnbuckle, waving at the fans and blowing another kiss out to the crowd. After
several more seconds she leaps down, removing her ring jacket and putting it in
the corner before jumping up and sitting on the top turnbuckle.
Sharper: “Syren
survived the Seattle bracket. She finished off by beating Selena Frost to get
here. Two more wins and she’ll be able to say she’s best of the best.”
Winters: “Yeah and well I
think she wants the ability to say she could be the next World Champion more.”
Sharper: “Mr. D watching this
tournament closely. He was on hand to call the action in Toronto last week. But
he’s been watching closely and we’ll have more regarding some of the repercussions
that have come from some individuals’ actions in SCW.”
Winters: “Yeah. Watchman
program has no Merrick Wiseman. This will be fun.”
The arena's lights cut and the
room falls into complete darkness as a buzz spreads through the crowd, the
screens suddenly lighting up with one single solitary word...
"BANG!"
As the crowd react, the entire stage lights up with a brilliant white light and
the opening riff of an SCW remixed version of "All I Want" by A Day To Remember hits the pa system. The crowd erupt into cheers
again as they spot the silhouette of David Helms standing there, his arms held
aloft and his hands throwing the Self High Five, all framed by the brilliant
white light behind him.
“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”
The intro gives way to the chorus and the lyrics of said chorus flash up on the
screen as Helms suddenly jumps into the air and breaks his hands apart,
pyrotechnics exploding on either side of the stage as he lands and the house
lights raise again as Helms grins at the fans. He glances back as Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson walk out from the back. Helms smirks before suddenly bolting towards the ring.
Reaching the ring, Helms jumps
up and slides under the bottom rope feet first before jumping straight back to
his feet and climbing straight to the middle rope of the nearest ring post. He
throws his hands up into the Self High Five to another cheer before hopping down
and walking towards the closest camera on the outside. He throws his hands into
the Self High Five to the camera so that his face is framed by the gap in the
middle of his hands. Grinnin, he mouths the word
"Bang!" into the camera before turning and settling back into the
corner to another cheer from the fans as he waits for the start of the match. Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson go over to his corner.
Sharper: “These two know each
other well. They were an item a couple of years ago. David
Helms now with Regan Street.”
Winters: “Yeah, so now all of
those latent feelings can bubble up and people can take swings at one another.”
Sharper: “They’ve worked
together as of late too. Go back to Tactical Warfare last December. These two
have a respect between one another. I’m just not sure if they’ll swap Christmas
cards or wedding invites…Helms being engaged to Regan Street.”
Winters: “Silas hasn’t ended
that vain hope?”
Helms stretches out as Syren
hops off the turnbuckle. The bell sounds. The crowd roars. Syren
watches Helms as Helms gets his hands up. Syren then
continues to watch him before dropping down and going to go around Helms. She
tries to waistlock him and forearms him in the back.
He clubs him again and Helms grabs the arm of Syren
and turns out and wrenches it. Syren winces and the
crowd cheers a bit. Helms holds onto Syren and Syren flips forward, nips up and then moves Helms’ arm and
moves into a hammerlock. Helms bends over and Syren
keeps the leverage on before Helms pulls forward on Syren’s
leg. She then pushes him off with her free leg. Helms runs
into the ropes. He bounces off and Syren gets up only
for Helms to shoulder her down. Syren rolls through
and to her knees, looking at Helms at the ropes.
Sharper: “And that’s the one
thing Syren can’t compete with. Helms,
much stronger than Syren.”
Winters: “That’s why Syren is good. She makes that not a factor. She’s faster.
But Helms can move too.”
Syren gets up and Helms over and
grapples her. He then fires her off into the ropes. Syren
bounces off and Helms bends over too early. Syren turns and backflips down
Helms’ back. He turns and Syren forearms him

Helms kicks out after one.
Winters: “Only one, but Helms
knows Syren can take him down.”
Sharper: “Both know each other
well.”
Winters: “Probably had plenty
of training together.”
Sharper: “Thanks for that.”
Winters: “What….I just hope
Regan’s okay with it.”
Helms starts to get up and Syren gets up and quickly nails him in the back. She nails
him again and spins him around. She forearms him and goes to whip him across,
but Helms spins through and sends Syren in. Syren bounces off and Helms goes to grab her, but Syren slides between his legs. Helms

rope and onto Helms. (1) The crowd roars.
Sharper: “A run, a jump, a
leap and onto Helms!”
Winters: “That’s what you have
to stop her from doing. She’ll use it if you give it to her and she’s been
doing it better than anyone for the last few years.”
Syren rolls over and starts to get
up. (2) She looks around and nods before grabbing Helms and slowly lifting him
up before stopping and rolling into the ring. (3) She walks over to the far
side of the ring as Helms pulls himself up the rest of the way. (4) He rolls

Both competitors get up.
Sharper: “Nice cradle, but not
enough for Helms to get the victory.”
Winters: “And those cradles,
people forget why they’re so effect. If you know how to do them, they get your
opponent panicking. CHBK, he’s one that some of his cradles because he knows
how to really lock them in, get you panicking.”
Sharper: “Not just that, but
you often can tangle your opponent in a way that they can’t get out.”
Helms walks over to Syren
and Syren kicks him in the ribs to get some space.
She kicks him again and then forearms him. Syren then

The bell sounds as Helms lets
go of Syren and gets up. He takes a moment and moves
to the ropes. The referee comes over and raises his arm.
Sharper: “Helms defeats Syren here tonight to kick things off. He moves on to the
finals later tonight and he’ll face either Shaun Cruze
or Kennedy Street.”
Winters: “And just imagine if
Helms goes on to beat both Syren and Kennedy Street?
Favourite for the World title shot?”
Sharper: “The question is…can Cruze’s back hold up and can Cruze
pull two more matches out. This is his swan song. He’ll face the World Champion
for a spot in the finals against David Helms, next!”

COMMERCIAL:
We return to Oklahoma City and
cut to ringside to see Adam Sharper with Shawn Winters at the announce table.
Sharper: “Welcome back to
Oklahoma City here for Breakdown. It’s been a very busy and eventful week. The Best of the Best Tournament almost done here tonight.”
Winters: “We’ve widdled down the field from sixty-four to now three, in a
moment two.”
Sharper: “But it has not been
without controversy. Two nights ago, Kelcey Wallace
was disqualified as a result of Jake Starr attacking David Helms with a chair. Xander Valentine also came out. Kelcey
Wallace has not been happy.”
Winters: “And for good
reason.”
Sharper: “David Helms
obviously moved on, but after the show, when cameras weren’t rolling, Merrick
Wiseman and Xander Valentine got into a brawl
backstage. It took many individuals to pull it apart. Afterwards, and for
Merrick, this is coupled with some aggressive calls during the tournament, both were suspended for three weeks. Xander rather than accepting his suspension, he’s chosen to
leave SCW.”
Winters: “Well he’s a Hall of
Famer and because Merrick Wiseman loses it, he’s going to get suspended. I’m
with him.”
Sharper: “It’s not that. The interference. The involvement.”
Winters: “Then fewer people
should piss Xander off.”
Sharper: “It’s a moot point.
We’ll be without Xander Valentine in SCW and Merrick
Wiseman…he’ll be taking a few weeks to cool off.”
(1) Kennedy Street vs. (2) Shaun Cruze
Best of the Best Tournament
Semi-Finals
The opening rifts of ‘Awake
and Alive’ by Skillet hits over the PA system and Shaun Cruze
confidently walks from the back,. He looks left and
right and the fans as the crowd cheers him. He simple shakes his head and grins
before walking down the ramp way
I'm at war with the world
And they try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slipping from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
As he reaches the ring he nips up to the apron. He enters the ring and then
goes over to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope and looks around, posing.
He nods as the crowd cheers him.
I'm at war with the world
'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
Shaun nips down from his perch before bouncing off the ropes a couple of times,
stretching out his neck.
Sharper: “Shaun Cruze has managed to find ways to continue moving on. His
back has to be killing him and yet, he’s still fighting.”
Winters: “I know the feeling. Big target on his back. After tonight, he’s done, but he’s
going to try and go out with a bang and part of me is rooting for him. Part of
me also thinks down the road, he’s going to regret doing this tournament.”
Ethan Von Aaron walks out in a
black suit and shirt with no tie, he has a mic in hand as the spotlight shines
on him....
Ethan: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I do use the term rather loosely. Let me
direct your attention to the most beautiful and talented woman on the planet.
She IS the Star of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. The woman that is the ONLY
Sexy Flawless Diva in ALL of professional wrestling, I give to you in all of
her glory.....KENNEDY STREET!"
"Criticize” by Adelita’s Way plays throughout
the arena as a robed Kennedy Street, with the World Title, slowly comes out
from the back. She stands in the entrance way, looking down, then up and out
into the arena. Kennedy then drops the rope showing off her beautiful body in
her wrestling gear that leaves little to the imagination. Kennedy cracks a sexy
smirk as Ethan Von Aaron claps, she raises her right
arm in the air looking up into the rafters as the shower of fireworks rain down
behind her. Carlos quickly comes out and begins to drop rose petals on the
ground Kennedy walks on while the monstrous Maximilian follows behind. The
crowd boos as she looks over to the fans and smirks, interacting with them,
posing along the way to entice them a bit by blowing kisses and shaking her ass....
Ethan leads her down to the ring as she arrives at the apron, Maximilian lifts
her up on the apron, Carlos rolls in and continues to throw Rose Petals on the
ground Keenie walks on as she steps through the ropes
stopping for a second and looks out biting the bottom of her lip and stroking
the ropes as she gets into the ring taking her time. She walks to the ropes and
climbs to the second turnbuckle and looks around smiling while posing for the
flash photography while Ethan again claps. Kennedy jumps down smiling to the
crowd and waves her hair to the side as she stands in the corner, extending her
long muscular legs, waving her opponent and referee off as she does her
pre-match stretches as Ethan instructs the referee how to properly handle a Keenie match. After she is done Kennedy pulls up her knee
pads and places them firmly on her knees, flings back her long blonde hair and
turns around to lean against the corner signaling the referee to come over.
Kennedy then kisses the referee on the cheek and winks at him as she awaits the
start of the match while Ethan and Maximilian stand in her corner and Carlos
sits with the timekeeper. Kennedy hands the title to Ethan before turning to Cruze. She smirks.
Sharper: “Kennedy Street, the
World Champion, still in this tournament and no doubt, would love to be in the
finals, not only to prove her claims, but to potentially shut some people up.”
Winters: “She’s already been
publicly saying that she’s going to enter the Taking Hold of the Flame battle
royal just so she can face herself.”
Sharper: “No one said she
didn’t lack confidence.”
Winters: “And she’s probably
got a bunch right now. She’s facing Cruze and she
probably has a very clear gameplan. Go for the back
and hope you finally get that shot to stop Cruze. Worked for Trinity Street at SCW Flawless. Cruze has dodged that bullet since then.”
The bell sounds as Kennedy
says something to Cruze. Cruze
just shakes his head and tells her to come on. The crowd roars. Kennedy shakes
her head, laughing a bit as she walks out of her corner. She spins around and Cruze moves in and Kennedy backs up and puts her hands up. Cruze stops and looks at her before backing up. Kennedy
just watches him and Cruze asks her if she’s ready.
Kennedy then walks out of the corner. They then lunge at one another and Cruze quickly gets control of Kennedy and grapples her,
pushing her back into the corner. Cruze holds on and
the referee calls for the break.

Kennedy immediately elbows him in the lower back. Cruze
falls over and rolls over to his back.
Sharper: “And right there. Kennedy with the kick. Knots said it a couple of nights ago.
Those kicks are going to be deadly and they were.”
Winters: “Opens Cruze up to that. Elbow right to the spine.”
Kennedy then stomps him in the
head. Cruze rolls over. Kennedy hits an elbow drop to
his back. The crowd ohs.

Cruze stops and backs up. He holds
his back and turns around. He then turns and runs at Kennedy,
but Kennedy moves out of the way and Cruze hits
the corner hard. He backs up and Kennedy quickly dropkicks him in the back. Cruze falls over to the corner before falling to the mat.
Sharper: “Cruze
moving in and trying to brawl with Kennedy, but Kennedy too quick.”
Winters: “And his legs are
probably starting to get weak just from the fatigue, the pain. This could be
quick here. Cruze needs to figure out a way to end it
quick. A long match is horrible for him in more ways than one.”
Cruze slowly grabs at the ropes and
Kennedy stomps him in the back and then again and again and again. Cruze falls to the mat and Kennedy grinds her boot into his
back, forcing him onto the apron and causing him to just fall to the floor. The
crowd boos. The referee tells Maximillian to get back as he starts to walk
around. (1) Kennedy looks at Cruze.
Kennedy: “Stay down. Let’s
just end this foolishness. No shame is losing to your Sexy, Flawless Diva!” (2)

starts to get up and Cruze gets up and lunges,

back in the ring. Spinning heel kick takes down the champion.”
Winters: “He’s been doing this
all tournament.”
Kennedy stirs and starts to
get up and Cruze gets up and hits a European uppercut

again. Cruze then grabs her and drags her up. He
turns and whips her into the ropes. Kennedy bounces off the ropes and Cruze lifts her up for a back drop, but Kennedy spins
through and kicks Cruze right in the lower back. Cruze grimaces and turns around, but Kennedy then kicks him
in the ribs. She walks around in a circle before taking a brief running start
and hitting the Silver Spoon.
Sharper: “And Kennedy takes
the advantage with the Silver Spoon. Spins through and drops Cruze face first.”
Winters: “Well if he’s going
to guard his back, take what he gives you. It’s one reason why she’s champion.”
Sharper: “That and having a group
of people willing to take big hits and run interference!”
Kennedy rolls him over and
hooks the leg.

hand down. She then turns and stomps Cruze a few
times. The referee tells Ethan to get back down but he yells at Cruze, refusing to get down.
Sharper: “Kennedy again
getting caught up focusing on the referees!”

crowd ohs. Cruze
drops down to a seated position. Kennedy then turns and gets up and forearms
him in the side of the head and then again. She climbs up to the middle rope.
She grabs Cruze and then pulls in his head. Kennedy
smiles as she looks around. Just then, Cruze nails
her in the ribs and then again and shoves her back. Kennedy lands back first. Cruze then slowly hops down. Kennedy gets back up and Cruze grabs her and knees her in the ribs. Cruze then turns and whips Kennedy into the ropes. Kennedy
bounces and Cruze lowers his head. Kennedy then jumps
up and sits on his shoulders. The crowd roars. She then flips forward for the
victory roll, but Cruze drops to his knees and pins
Kennedy.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd roars and Kennedy
kicks out just after three. Cruze rolls out of the
ring and Kennedy looks around stunned.
Sharper: “Cruze
wins it! He got her!”
Winters: “Just dropped down.
He kept his weight over her shoulders and that was that! Cruze
moves on!”
Sharper: “Shaun Cruze! David Helms! They’re in the finals! The World
Champion has been eliminated!”
Kennedy turns and goes over to
the referee. He starts to go to Cruze to raise his
hand, but Kennedy obstructs. Ethan von Aaron enters the ring and heads over to
the referee. He reaffirms the three count. Cruze just starts to walk around the ring.
Sharper: “Kennedy Street not
happy. But that was a three! Kennedy
Street eliminated here. Shaun Cruze and David Helms
going to meet later tonight in the finals of the Best of the Best Tournament.”
Winters: “Wow…”
Cruze slowly makes his way to the
back as back in the ring, both Kennedy Street and Ethan von Aaron yell at the
official, trying to plead, or force the referee to consider, their case as the
scene fades to black.
COMMERCIAL:
The lights in the arena go
out. Suddenly a lone spotlight is in the entrance way as a man wearing all grey
suit with a white shirt walks out and looks out into
the crowd with a microphone in hand. He is "The Perfect Mind" Shawn
Mason.
Shawn: “Ladies and Gentlemen, The “Perfect World”
presents TRUE Perfection. Please welcome…KELCEY WALLACE!”
The trumpets sound as the chorus for “Exodus” by Ernest Gold begins to play to
play. The spotlight then turns to the middle of the entrance way. A few moments
pass before Kelcey Wallace walks out from the back in
her street clothes. She then turns to Shawn Mason and says something to him
before the two start to make their way to the ring. Mason leads Kelcey down to the ring and then hops onto the apron. Kelcey Wallace walks up the steel steps before Shawn holds
the ropes open. Kelcey steps in and walks over to the
middle of the ring. Mason enters in after and he hands Kelcey
the microphone.
Sharper: “Kelcey
has been quite angry with what happened in the tournament in a variety of
ways.”
Winters: “Jake Starr got her
disqualified. She had a run in with Xander Valentine
before Merrick Wiseman went after him and on top of that, Trinity Street showed
her frustrations on Shaya Blackley
by attacking her to end her match with Lucas Knight.”
Kelcey turns to the camera.
Kelcey: “We’re almost at the end of
this sham, the Best of the Best Tournament, but there are a few things that I
don’t think are done yet.”
Kelcey pauses for a moment.
Kelcey: “See, I thought maybe, for
once, I could focus on doing what I need to do in this ring to show to the
world that without Silas Mason holding me back, I can get back to where I was
and that was the top. But unfortunately some small-minded people have decided
that they wanted to get petty revenge. I’m looking at you Jake Starr and well…I
would’ve said Xander Valentine, but after what
happened between Merrick and him and the suspensions handed out, I just have to
worry about you.”
Wallace looks at the camera.
Wallace: “Jake…does having a
giant target painted on your back suit you so well that you needed to piss off
more people. David Helms seemed to do just fine even with the bruises from the
chair shots you gave him. Are you going to run out later tonight and stop him?
I dare you to try. I mean, Wiseman’s not here. But that neglects one thing. You
may have to deal with me too. See, I’m used to people who want to make a lot of
noise to make their case. I’ve had a nice fun couple of weeks and I damn sure
still want to be World Champion, but Jake….I also have no problem in putting
you in your place if I have to!”
The crowd roars. Kelcey looks at the camera.
Kelcey: “See, Jake, I respect Helms.
I would’ve moved on had he beat me fair and square, but no, Jake, you had to
get involved and now you’re part of my business and I don’t care for that. I
already have Kennedy Street to cover the loudmouth quotient and I have Syren already trying to hold me back. I don’t need you
too-“
???: “Still focused on the World
Championship….good.”
Just then, Trinity Street
walks out from the back, her SCW World Tag Team Championship over her shoulder.
She looks at down at Kelcey.
Winters: “Trinity’s decided
she may rip off the bandaid.”
Kelcey turns to her.
Trinity: “See, Kelcey, I think you should ignore Jake Starr. You have more
pressing matters to attend to.”
Kelcey just looks at Kelcey.
Trinity: “I mean if we take
Mr. D’s words literally two weeks ago, the Best of the Best Tournament may be a
deciding factor in who gets the shot. Syren got
farther than you. Kennedy did too. And Helms and Cruze
certainly have. One of your friends.”
Trinity smirks.
Trinity: “But this tournament
also made clear that you have other friends that clearly don’t deserve you and
need to be cast aside. I think we both know who we’re talking about…Shaya Blackley…”
The crowd cheers at the
mention of her name.
Sharper: “She defeated both
Tag Champions during the Tournament!”
Kelcey: “What does any of this have
to do with the World Title and about-“
Trinity: “I’ll finish that
sentence…it has everything to do with the World Title and Shaya
Blackley. See, Kelcey…remember
my deal. You’ve been awfully quiet. I’ll hand over my Trios Tournament shot and
you’ve got your readymade, front of the line, opportunity at the World Title.
But I’m now adding a condition. It’s an important one. In return…you disavow
yourself of Shaya Blackley
and let me and Lucas get her out of this business. I’m sick of that thorn
poking me again.”
The crowd boos.
Sharper: “Oh come on.”
Kelcey: “Trin-“
Trinity: “Don’t worry…I’ll let
you break it to her in person. Next week, let me know. I’ve got plenty else to
occupy my time until then.”
Trinity then turns and heads
to the back. Shawn turns to Kelcey. Kelcey just shakes her head as she drops the microphone.
The crowd boos as Shawn keeps trying to talk to Kelcey.
Winters: “That’s one way to
force the issue.”
Sharper: “Kelcey
Wallace if she wants to make a deal with the devil will have to sell off her
friend to get it. It’s not worth it Kelcey. It’s not
worth it!”
Winters: “For the World
Title?! For redemption?! Of course it is!”
The crowd boos as we cut away.
We open up backstage in the
office of Mr. D to see Mr. D rubbing his eyes as Kennedy Street is on a tirade.
Carlos, Ethan von Aaron and Maximillian are with her, as is Jonathan Knots.
Kennedy: “That was a travesty.
Clearly you have some officials that are jealous that there is someone better
than them in EVERY conceivable way. Maybe Cruze paid
them off. Maybe people felt so sorry that he’s going to leave his future wife
needing to have an account with some sex-“
Mr. D: “Stop it right there…”
Kennedy: “Good…you’re going to
overturn the match and put me in the finals.”
Mr. D: “No, Kennedy. I’m not.
Trust me. I’ve been watching all of your matches to make sure that when you
come in here and complain, I can make sure I can shoot you down. Now, unless
you have proof of Cruze passing money to the officials, shut up and worry about your next World
Championship defense.”
Ethan: “So you’re just going
to shuffle her off. You haven’t even named anyone. You’ve got nothing. You’ve
lost Xander Valentine and now you’re going to lose
another legend because you’re too stupid to see it-“
Mr. D: “Ethan…I’m going to
pretend I didn’t hear that. Kennedy…grow up. Watch the
finals. Take the rest of the night off. You had a good run. But finally some
people are reminding you that you are human and that one day, you won’t be
flawless. As for your next title defense, I’ll announce it next week on
Breakdown.”
Kennedy: “Whatever…I’ll just
make sure I get what the world deserves when I win the Taking Hold of the Flame
battle royal.”
Kennedy starts to walk off as
Ethan just smirks.
Ethan: “Got ya there!”
Kennedy exits the room with
Maximillian, Carlos and then Ethan. Knots just shakes
his head.
Mr. D: “Jon…”
Knots: “What?”
Mr. D: “You convinced her of
that, didn’t you?”
Knots: “Why not? Would be fun
to watch?”
Mr. D: “You do realize the
only way she’ll be in the battle royal is if she loses the World Title?”
Knots just glares before looking up at Mr. D.
Knots: “All the more reason to
make an exception. Think of the money. Marketing!”
Mr. D: “Get out.”
Knots turns and heads off
shaking his head as Mr. D sighs and sits down before we cut to commercial.
COMMERCIAL:
We open up backstage to see Syren outside of her locker room with Spirit Dansby. The crowd cheers seeing her.
Spirit: “Welcome back to
Breakdown. I am here with Syren and Syren, a hard fought match, but you weren’t able to get
past David Helms.”
Syren just nods.
Syren: “Yeah and well, David…good
luck later. I wish I was in the finals, but it’s the way it goes. I can’t even
take much glee in that I went farther than Kelcey
Wallace because frankly, that’s on Starr and Valentine. We’re really at the
same point still. But I’m going to be watching next week and listening to every
word the boss says regarding that next title shot for Kennedy Street. Maybe
Kennedy should stop her whining and realize that her world may be about to
crumble around her because people have wisened up to
her ways.”
Syren pauses for a moment.
Syren: “In any case, I hope it’s me
that is standing across from you at Taking Hold of the Flame. Sorry Kelcey…sorry to anyone else…but we’re not done yet
Kennedy.”
Syren turns back to Spirit.
Spirit: “Thank you Syren.”
Syren nods and walks off.
Spirit: “Back to ringside.”
We cut to the ring.
Stacy Kissinger vs. Amy Chastaine
The lighting completely turns
off inside the arena and only the SCWtron is lit. It
shows a set of deep brown eyes. It slowly zooms out to show the face of Stacy
Kissinger, which leads to some of the crowd booing, yet some of them cheering.
It zooms out even further until her entire frame can be seen before if zooms
back in real fast to just show Stacy’s face. Her eyes blink and then close and
the SCWtron goes to black.
But it's not a few seconds before the beginning of "Dark Horse" by
Katy Perry is heard. A small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the
familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog. The stage
lights come on so everyone can see her holding a microphone, wearing a gold
glittery robe around her. She sings the first few lines of the song along with
Katy Perry, before stopping and getting ready to head down the ramp.
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
‘Cause I am capable of anything
Of anything and everything
It's at this point that Stacy removes herself from the foggy stage and descends
down the ramp as she looks around the arena a little bit.
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
Don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy
Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in. She then stands up and goes
to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the
entire arena.
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know what you're falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse
Stacy allows the glittery gold robe to drop to her feet, revealing that she has
on a short frilly black skirt and a purple halter top that states "Feel
The Rush" on the front. She sighs towards those in the crowd that are
booing her. While she does, one line of pyro goes off while her entrance music
is coming to an end.
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
There’s no going back
The music stops and Stacy nods before going to a corner of the ring, setting
her special personalized microphone down in the corner. She then warms up for
the match that she's about to take part in.
Sharper: “This should be a
heck of a match here. Two individuals who showed they’re capable of a lot.
Stacy Kissinger had a career renaissance in the Best of the Best Tournament
defeating Dawn Lohan and Shilo Valiant before being
stopped by Nicole Kinneck.”
Winters: “Yeah and meanwhile,
Amy Chastaine shocked us all by getting past Red
Rayne and Simon Lyman before Selena Frost stopped her.”
"Hell & Consequences"
by Stone Sour begins as the lights flash blue and white in beat to the music. A
video plays behind her with highlights of some of Amy's spots.
{Yeahhhh!}
Amy comes out from behind the curtain, and walks to the top of the ramp, and
flips her hair out of her face before raising an arm over hear
head. She starts down the ramp, keeping her eyes on the ring, and greeting a
fan or two along the way.
{I’m not a victim,
till I let you take me down.
I'm not a target in the sites of your mercy,
I never asked for anything,
I'm not asking now.}
Amy gets in the ring by sliding under the bottom rope.
{I will not be afraid,
I will not be afraid.}
She nips up and goes to the second rope in the corner near the ring steps, and
poses for the fans, one arm in the air, the other om
her hip.
{'Ive done this on my own
and I don’t care what you do to me,
I won't hand over what is mine}
Amy hops down and goes to the opposite corner, and does the same pose.
{I've done this for too long,
to let you take it away from me,
it's to late to stop me
cause I refuse to die.}
Amy gets down and awaits the start of her match as the music fades and the
light stop flashing.
Sharper: “Both have their fair
share of experience. This is just going to see two women look to continue the
momentum they gained from the tournament.”
Winters: “Meanwhile, there’s
another angle to this?”
Sharper: “What’s that?”
Winters: “Kissinger seems to
be a bit smitten with Adrenaline Rush. Adrenaline Rush was saved by Chastaine and Raynes a few weeks
ago. We’ll have to see what happens there.”
Sharper: “Just a lot of people
looking out for that young team.”
The bell sounds. Kissinger
walks out of the corner and around the ring as Chastaine
watches her. She nods and Kissinger then moves in and goes for a forearm shot. The crowd ohs a bit, expecting Kissinger
to respond. Instead, Kissinger nails Chastaine
with another shot and another. Chastaine staggers
back to the ropes. Kissinger then turns and whips Chastaine
into the ropes. Chastaine bounces off and Kissinger
scoops her up and goes for a tilt-a-whirl, but Chastaine
counters with an arm drag. Kissinger rolls through. Both get up and Chastaine chops Kissinger. The crowd woos. She chops her
again and then turns and whips her into the ropes. Kissinger bounces off and Chastaine goes for a clothesline. Kissinger ducks and spins
around. Chastaine turns and Kissinger hits a
dropkick. Kissinger then gets up and looks around as the crowd boos. Kissinger
then smirks before throwing up the sign of the Texas Longhorns, getting huge
boos from the crowd.
Sharper: “And Stacy Kissinger
not endearing herself to this Oklahoma crowd. I’m a Longhorn fan myself but I’m
not about to broadcast that to these fans right now.”
Winters: “She doesn’t care and
you just did to the whole world.”
Sharper: “But I’m not taunting
twenty-thousand people!”
Kissinger turns around as Chastaine starts to get up and Kissinger kicks her in the
ribs. She forearms her again before pushing her to the ropes and going to fire
her across. Chastaine spins through and sends
Kissinger. Kissinger into the ropes before bouncing off and Chastaine
hooks her up for a hip toss. Kissinger spins through
and goes for one herself. Chastaine lands on her
feet. Kissinger then goes to grab her arm for a short-arm clothesline, but Chastaine ducks and spins around her and then waistlocks her. She shoves her forward and into the ropes
before pulling her back with an Okana roll.
1!
2!
Kissinger kicks out. Both
women get up and Chastaine kicks her in the ribs. She
then turns and whips her into the corner. Kissinger ends up in the corner,
getting her foot up. Chastaine runs after her and
Kissinger elbows her. Chastaine stumbles back before
Kissinger runs out and Chastaine suddenly jumps up
and hits a frankensteiner.
Sharper: “Quicker than a
hiccup. Chastaine snaps Kissinger over.”
Winters: “And that’s why Chastaine’s been shocking people. No one knew how fast she
could move. Unless you followed her before she came here.”
Sharper: “William Mason
contacted me a few nights ago and said to me that we’re seeing why Amy Chastaine could always do. That’s for sure.”
Chastaine gets up as Kissinger gets up
too. Chastaine forearms her in the jaw and then nails
her again before grabbing her and running her across and into the opposite
corner. Kissinger turns and Chastaine kicks her in
the ribs and then climbs up to the middle turnbuckle. She nails Kissinger with
a couple of hard rights. The crowd roars and Kissinger manages to lift her up,
but Kissinger gets her up too high and Chastaine
counters with a sunset flip.
1!
2!
Kissinger kicks out. Both get
up and both immediately go for dropkicks. Both miss. Both then get back up and Chastaine runs at Kissinger for a clothesline, but
Kissinger ducks. Chastaine stops at the ropes and turns
around as Kissinger kicks her in the ribs with a back kick. Kissinger then
throws her over with a double underhook suplex. Kissinger floats over into a pin.
1!
2!
Chastaine kicks out.
Sharper: “Nice suplex but not enough to keep Kissinger down.”
Winters: “Chastaine,
right?”
Sharper: “Sorry, Chastaine”
Winters: “Look. I get she’s
had some struggles but-“
Sharper: “Yeah, yeah.”
Chastaine starts to stir and Kissinger
grabs her and clubs her in the back. Chastaine turns
and Kissinger forearms her in the jaw before kicking her in the ribs. She hits
a vertical suplex. Chastaine
hits the mat. Kissinger rolls over and exits to the apron. She then climbs up
to the top rope. Chastaine starts to slowly pull
herself up and turns to Kissinger who dives off with a top rope crossbody. She goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Chastaine kicks out. Both women get up
and Kissinger nails Chastaine with a boot to the
face. Chastaine falls back to the ropes. Kissinger
smirks and runs at Chastaine, but Chastaine suddenly hooks her arms and boots
Kissinger in the chest. She goes over the top rope to the apron. Kissinger
staggers back and turns back to Chastaine
who springboards to the top rope and flips forward, grabbing Kissinger’s head
and drops her with the Blackout. The crowd ohs and cheers.
Sharper: “There it is! The
Blackout! Amy Chastaine from the
apron!”
Winters: “Gave her an opening.
Amy Chastaine taking advantage of
them!”
Sharper: “That’s got to be
it!”
Chastaine turns and hooks the leg.
1!
2!
3!
The bell sounds and the crowd
roars. Amy gets up off of Kissinger. Chastaine then
looks around as she has her arm raised. She then looks around before enjoying
her theme music playing. She smirks as Kissinger stirs. Chastaine
then walks over to the ropes and steps through them before dropping down to the
floor. She then starts to head up the rampway when
she’s stopped by Marisa Condolesa. Amy Chastaine smiles and turns to her.
Condolesa: “Amy…can I get a word?”
Chastaine nods.
Chastaine: “Happily.”
Condolesa: “You had a great tournament.
In the process, you managed to defeat Red Rayne. Yes, it wasn’t by pinfall or submission thanks to Rachel Tatum Lee. But I can
tell you that you will be receiving an Adrenaline Championship opportunity next
week on Breakdown.”
Chastaine looks a bit surprised, albeit
pleased.
Condolesa: “You’re impressing people
here in SCW. What’s driving you?’
Chastaine still looks a bit surprised.
Chastaine: “Well that’s some great news
to say the least…It was a shame that we didn’t get to finish it one on one, but
when you have the enemies Red Rayne has, it happens. I just hope that Rachel
Tatum Lee or Rachel Foxx will let me see this through by myself as I know
Andrew will. As for the tournament, this was a chance for me to step up and
show the SCW fans what I’m capable of-“
Just then, Kissinger runs up
behind Chastaine and knocks her down from behind. The
crowd boos. Kissinger then stomps Chastaine in the
back before stomping her over and over again.
Sharper: “Kissinger from behind.
What the hell?”
Winters: “Well I guess Stacy
decided she had enough of that!”
Kissinger takes a few more
stomps at Chastaine before Andrew Raynes
runs out from the back. The official from the ring heads over and gets between
Kissinger and Chastaine. Raynes
then heads over to Chastaine as she winces and slowly
rolls overs. He looks at up at Kissinger as Kisisnger
turns and walks around Chastaine before heading to
the back. The crowd boos some more as Kissinger continues to the back.
We cut backstage to the
hallway outside of Kelcey Wallace’s locker room. The
door is cracked open and we hear Kelcey Wallace and Shaya Blackley.
Kelcey: “I can’t believe she’s going
to force me to-“
Shaya: “It’s a choice…sorry, Kels, but-“
Kelcey: “Sorry…came out wrong. Long week.”
Shaya: “Look. Trinity needs someone
to put her in her place. She’s just angry because I upset them. I’ll take care
of it.”
Kelcey: “Shaya-“
Cannon: “Look guys…relax.
We’ll figure something out. Just…focus on-“
The door closes at this point.
Winters: “A bit of interesting
discussion there.”
Sharper: “That’s the problem
with the World Title. Kelcey Wallace wants her
redemption more than anything. But Shaya Blackley has been one of her longest friends and Trinity
Street wants her to disavow her as a friend…”
Winters: “Welcome to hard
bargaining in SCW.”
Sharper: “I guess that’s one
way to look at it….”
The scene fades to black.
COMMERCIAL:
We open up backstage to see
Stacy Kissinger walking backstage as the crowd boos her. We then see Adrenaline
Rush head over to her and immediately Tyler Tucker questions her.
Tucker: “Stacy…I…uh….why did-“
Stacy: “Tyler, I know, she
seems like a nice person. I know you like her, but someone like that, this new found success is going to go right to their
head.”
Tucker: “Gah!...How do you know?”
Stacy: “Been around a while.”
Thomas just looks at Stacy
Kissinger hardly impressed.
Stacy: “Just trust me on this.
Looking out for the two of you. Just
like I have the last few weeks.”
Thomas: “Uh-huh.”
Stacy turns and walks off.
Thomas watches her leave and just sighs. Tucker looks around, clearly uncertain
too as we cut back to ringside.
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 we hear the opening from “Open Your Eyes” by Guano
Apes.
“Hide your face forever
Dream and search forever-ever-ever-ever”
The song gets stuck on the word, and is then interrupted by the deep sound of
the voice of Marilyn Manson.
“Just lay your head in daddy’s lap
You’re a bad girl!”
“Bad Girl” by Avril Lavigne hits the PA system as the
lights come back up and we see the screens playing images of Ravyn Taylor’s various antics in and out of the ring. After
a few moments the curtains part and Ravyn steps out
on to the stage with a smirk on her face, the SCW United States Championship
over her shoulder. She’s dressed in ring gear that includes her normal ring
jacket covering a small, revealing bra top and a pair of skin tight hot-pants
with the words ‘BAD GIRL’ across the back. She stops on the stage, twirling for
the camera almost mockingly.
Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
After a few moments she starts to make her way down to ringside and then steps
up the ring steps, wiping her feet on the apron before vaulting over the top
turnbuckle and rolling back to her feet. She walks over to the far corner of
the ring, stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and holding up the SCW United
States Championship.
Winter: “You think she’s still
looking for a challenge?”
Sharper: “I’m sure of it. She
kept taunting others throughout the tournament and here we are. She got to the
finals of her bracket. Shaun Cruze turned her down.”
She jumps down and sighs,
shaking her head before walking over to the corner and grabbing a microphone
left for her on the apron. She turns around and heads back over to the middle
of the ring, straightening the US Title over her shoulder.
Ravyn: “Well the Best of the Best
Tournament is about to end and unfortunately, the only person who was able to
beat me is someone who after tonight, is going to retire win or lose.”
Ravyn shakes her head.
Ravyn: “Is that all that can give
me a challenge? Actually step up and have a modicum of hope of maybe dethroning
me of this title? I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed, but frankly, if this
is how it’s going to be, I’ve already put my name in the Taking Hold of the
Flame battle royal. I have no problem unifying this title with the World
Title.”
The crowd cheers a bit, while
some others boo.
Sharper: “Arrogance coming out
here.”
Winters: “Do you blame her?”
Sharper: “Well…”
Ravyn: “See, it’s almost funny.
Because after the last few years, I’ve heard how I was the weak link in Dark
Fantasy. Sure, I was, and still am, brilliant, but wrestling skill, I wasn’t a
match for Syren. I was the one that if people wanted
to traditionally compete, they had to take me out and yet, here I stand nearly
on the cusp of another year long title reign. And this time, it’s all by my
lonesome. Think of all of the people that have stood up and tried to end this
reign. Jake Starr, Merrick Wiseman, Gable Winchester, Simon Lyman, Katie
Steward, Donovan Kayl, Memphis Cade, James
Marsh-Asher, Tommy Valentine, Mika Kozlov, William
Mason and Alex Young.”
Ravyn smirks.
Ravyn: “Impressive list, isn’t it?”
Winters: “Uh, yeah.”
Ravyn shakes her head.
Ravyn: “And yet, here I stand,
wondering who may be able to give me the thrill…”
Ravyn smirks.
Ravyn: “…of nearly beating me. Da
Boss tried. Dillusion too. Shaya Blackley
was a Cinderella story but while she could handle the Tag Champs, I was too
much. And this is all for someone who was the weak link. The
overthought. And this is why many of you should not do much thinking.”
Ravyn shrugs.
Ravyn: “Oh well…perhaps I should
put some sort of countdown clock…because as of Taking Hold of the Flame, your
opportunities may be dwindling fast.”
Ravyn turns and flips the
microphone to Jason Phillips. Phillips manages to catch it as Ravyn turns and starts to head out of the ring. “Bad Bad Girl” plays as the crowd gives her a mixed reaction.
She steps through the ropes and smirks before dropping down to the floor. She
then heads up the rampway.
Sharper: “Ravyn
Taylor is definitely quite confident, but I wonder if anyone can puncture that
bubble.”
Winters: “If you go by her
confidence and her track record, I don’t know.”
Ravyn continues on her way to the
back.
“Immortals” by Fall Out Boy plays and the Breakdown logo comes up on the screen.
We then see a shot of Brittany Lohan and then a shot of Angelica Waters before
showing both.
Sharper: “Plenty more to come
here tonight still. The Finals of the Best of the Best Tournament of course,
but also, a big match next. A rematch from Clash in K.C. Angelica Waters faces
off against Brittany Lohan.”
Winters: “Let the bad blood
start again!”
The scene fades to black.
COMMERCIAL:
Brittany Lohan vs. Angelica Waters
"I Am Machine" by
Three Days Grace blasts over the loudspeakers as the lights in the arena go out
and the fans instantly start to boo heavily when they recognize whose theme
song it is. Just a spotlight focuses on the curtains of the entrances the clips
once again fades away into the words that read: “Bleeding you is more than just
torment.”
The curtains slowly start to part as ONE WOMAN ARMY walks out first. She stands
at the top of the ramp. Next comes Brittany Lohan, she
slips through the curtain like a slithering snake. She stands next to OWA at
the top of the ramp and she looks like everything, but relaxed as her whole
body is tensed looking like she’s ready to strike at the drop of a dime like a
coiled cobra. Her icy eyes pan around the arena and the fans closest to the
ramp and she snarls at a few of them get a little too vocal with her. However,
the moment that her eyes catch the glimpse of the ring she shuts the fans out and turns all of her attention to the squared
circle.
With clenched fists, gritted teeth, and glaring icy eyes, Lohan starts to make
her way down to the ring methodically with Angelica following her. Lohan is
taking slow, calculated, but powerful steps towards the ring. Her icy glare is
so fixated on the ring that it would seem to appear that she doesn’t realize
that the arena is nearly sold out. The way that she looks right now it might as
well be empty for all she cares.
As she nears the squared circle, Lohan slows down to a snail’s pace as she
proceeds to walk around the perimeter of the ring with her eyes closed. When
she’s satisfied she opens her eyes and reaches up to grab the bottom rope with
her right hand and pulls herself up onto the apron only allowing one knee to
touch before she rolls into the ring. OWA stands on the outside watching Britt.
With Lohan in the ring she gets on both of her knees, closing her eyes, as she
lifts both of her arms up into the air. She holds that position for several
seconds before she slows climbs up to her feet, but then as if a switch was
flipped somewhere her entire presence changes. It intensifies as she starts to
warm up by running off the ropes and doing some stretches as she waits for her
victim of the night. Lohan’s video finishes up with the words: “…Just stand
there and stare as my world crumbles.”
Sharper: “Brittany Lohan about
to be in action tonight against a familiar face. Angelica
Waters.”
Winters: “Well they’ll get
another chance to try to destroy the other. Lovely.”
1, 2, 3....GO!
The intro starts on the speakers as ‘Step Up!’ hits and the lights go dim.
Strobe lights hit as Angelica slowly makes her way out and just looks around at
the crowd as they erupt with boos. She scoffs them and she poses in the middle
of the ramp as more pyro goes off. She makes her way down to the ring and she
just slides under the ropes and then she poses in the middle with a dominant
look on her face.
Sharper: “These two have a
long history. Brittany Lohan defeated Angelica Waters last month at Clash in
K.C.”
Winters: “But they get a
do-over and you know Lohan can’t be happy about it. As she said publicly, she
was done with her.”
The bell sounds. Angelica and
Lohan run at each other and both nail each other with a hard right. The crowd
roars. Lohan then nails her with a forearm and Angelica blocks the next one and
grabs the arm. She tries to pull Lohan down, but Lohan pulls Angelica’s hard
and throws her back. She rolls through and gets up. Lohan runs at her and goes
for a clothesline. Angelica ducks and spins around. Lohan turns and Angelica
kicks Lohan in the ribs and then again and again, knocking her against the
ropes. Angelica then grabs her head and pulls it under the top rope and then
pulls back against it. The crowd roars a bit as Lohan struggles.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Angelica lets go and backs up.
Lohan leans against the ropes and starts to pull herself
back up.
Sharper: “Angelica Waters and
Brittany Lohan picking up where they left off last month and Angelica Waters is
trying to choke the life out of Lohan!”
Winters: “Well that’s one way
to win. It’s illegal, but whatever.”
Lohan gets up and Angelica
kicks her in the ribs. She then wrenches the arm of Lohan and jumps up and hits
an armbreaker bulldog. The crowd cheers a bit.
Angelica then rolls Lohan over and grabs her arm and kicks at her shoulder.
Lohan struggles and then grabs her leg and shoves her back. Angelica stumbles
back and Lohan starts to get up. Angelica moves back over to her and Lohan
suddenly lunges and tackles Waters down. The crowd roars. Lohan then goes into
a side headlock mount and nails Waters with repeated right hands to the face.
The crowd roars and Waters covers up. Lohan then turns and starts to slowly
pull herself up, still holding onto Waters. Waters fights with Lohan, but Lohan
then knees her in the ribs. She knees her again before pushing her forward,
hooking her up and throwing her back with a huge back suplex.
Waters rolls over.
Sharper: “Great suplex by Lohan. She’ll use her strength here. Waters may
be the more technically sound-“
Winters: “Doesn’t matter if your
opponent can dump you on your head at will.”
Waters slowly rolls over and
Brittany Lohan looks at her as she gets up. Waters turns to Lohan and Lohan
scoops her up and slams her down. Waters slowly starts to get back up. Lohan
runs into the ropes, bounces off and clotheslines her down. She then goes for
the pin.
1!
2!
Angelica Waters kicks out. She
stirs as Lohan gets up. Waters slowly gets up and Lohan grabs her and shoves
her to the corner. She then smacks her before going to whip her across the ring.
Waters spins through and pulls Lohan into her knee. The crowd
ohs. Waters then pulls back on Lohan’s hair,
throwing her back with a mat slam. Lohan starts to get up and Waters knees her
again and then again. She turns and whips her into the ropes. Lohan bounces off
and Waters drills her with a hard back elbow. Waters goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Lohan kicks out. Both start to
get up and Waters grabs the arm of Lohan and wrenches it. She then places her
knees against her shoulder and tries to force her down, but Lohan blocks it and
throws her back.
Sharper: “Waters again going
for the arm. Lohan counters.”
Winters: “She knows how
painful that is. Doesn’t want it again.”
Waters turns around and Lohan
kicks her in the ribs. She clubs her hard in the back. The
crowd ohs. Lohan turns and runs into the
ropes. She bounces off and Waters suddenly jumps up and nails her with a high
knee. Lohan falls back to the ropes. Waters then turns and runs into the ropes.
She bounces off and Lohan runs at Waters and both nail each other with a
running clothesline. The crowd ohs as both are down
in the ring. (1) The crowd looks on as does One Woman Army. Both just are laid
out. (2) The referee continues to count when suddenly, the lights go out. A few
brief moments pass when suddenly pyro shoots out of the entrance way. The crowd
ohs before we hear “Blitzkrieg” by Deathstars. The crowd roars as we then see Blitzkrieg walk
out from the back with Typhoid Mary. Mary just smiles as she then laughs and
Blitzkrieg starts to slowly walk to the ring. Mary leads him down.
Winters: “That’s not…”
Sharper: “Blitzkrieg! That’s
Blitzkrieg! And he’s with Typhoid Mary! We haven’t seen either in years and
they’re coming to the ring!”
Mary points to the ring and
One Woman Army rolls into the ring. Blitzkrieg hops onto the apron and enters
into the ring. One Woman Army goes to nail Blitzkrieg, but Blitzkrieg catches
her fist and pulls her back with a swift jerk and OWA falls forward and to the
floor. She rolls over and Mary kicks her right in the head. The
crowd ohs. Blitzkrieg then turns and nails the
official with a hard right. Waters starts to get up as Lohan stirs. Blitzkrieg
then turns and grabs Waters and whips her into the ropes. Blitzkrieg runs into
the ropes, bounces off and nails Waters with a running boot. The
crowd ohs. Waters rolls over and out of the
ring. Lohan starts to get up and Lohan looks over at Blitzkrieg and nails him
with a hard right and then another. Blitzkrieg staggers briefly before turning
to notice Typhoid Mary on the floor. She looks stunned before Bltizkrieg kicks Lohan in the ribs and bends her over. He
then lifts her up and throws her down hard with a vicious Rigor Mortis powerbomb. The crowd ohs.
Sharper: “Blitzkrieg with the
Rigor Mortis on Brittany Lohan. And Brittany saw Typhoid Mary….”
Winters: “Is this Mary’s
doing? All of this?”
Sharper: “I don’t know, but
Blitzkrieg has come back and caused destruction.”
Mary kicks OWA again as she
starts to get up before grabbing her. OWA nails Mary and Mary staggers back,
but we then see Blitzkrieg walk over to the ropes nearby and reach through. He
grabs OWA and Mary then kicks OWA in the ribs and turns before throwing her
face first into the steel steps. She falls over. Mary then turns to Blitzkrieg
as he then steps through the ropes. He drops down before he and Mary start to
head to the back. Waters starts to stir as Lohan remains down in the ring. OWA
stirs on the floor as the scene slowly fades to black.

The scene cuts to the inside
of the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Pyro shoots from
both ends of the stage and towards the middle before back out to the outside
and then all across the stage. Spotlights circle around the arena as the camera
pan throughout the arena, showing the many fans who have filed into the arena
standing and cheering, waving banners, signs, t-shirt and whatever else they
have. The cameras pan for a few moments before cutting to ringside to show Adam
Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.
Sharper: “Welcome everyone
here to Breakdown in Oklahoma. Adam Sharper here with
Jonathan Knots. Tonight, still to come, the finals of the Best of the
Best Tournament.”
Knots: “Yeah, a travesty!
Shaun Cruze moves on to face David Helms in the
finals.”
Sharper: “But not just that,
we just had a stunning turn of events here on Breakdown.”
MOMENTS AGO:
The Breakdown logo comes up. We
see Blitzkrieg walking down from the back with Typhoid Mary as the crowd roars.
We cut forward. Blitzkrieg then turns and grabs Waters and whips her into the
ropes. Blitzkrieg runs into the ropes, bounces off and nails Waters with a
running boot. The crowd ohs.
Waters rolls over and out of the ring.
Sharper: “Blitzkrieg returned
with Typhoid Mary by his side. He took out Angelica Waters and then focused his
attention on Brittany Lohan.”
Knots: “Yeah and nearly took
Waters’ head off before drilling Lohan. Vicious Rigor
Mortis.”
Lohan starts to get up and Lohan
looks over at Blitzkrieg and nails him with a hard right and then another.
Blitzkrieg staggers briefly before turning to notice Typhoid Mary on the floor.
She looks stunned before Bltizkrieg kicks Lohan in
the ribs and bends her over. He then lifts her up and throws her down hard with
a vicious Rigor Mortis powerbomb. The
crowd ohs.
Sharper: “The question is why are they back!”
Knots: “Not just that, but is
Lohan their target? Just a random attack. A reminder
of what Blitzkrieg is…and is he in the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal?”
The eyes all focus on the
stage as A Stranger I Remain hit's over the P.A System. The crowd starts to
buzz as Alexis Quinne walks out from the back as well
as Grundy, El Rudo and Dante McCaffery,
with the latter tagging along slower than the rest. Alexis is sporting a green,
silver and black ring jacket with the same colors underneath in the form of a
beater with PUNK HAZARD on the front. The ring jacket also has a modified
version of the PUNK HAZARD logo on the back. El Rudo
has the PUNK HAZARD hoodie and his trusty salt bucket in his hands. Grundy is
sporting an black jumpsuit with the PUNK HAZARD logo
on the back in green. The San Francisco native looks at the crowd. She starts
her trot down to the ring with Rudo, Grundy and
Dante.
I've come here to save you
And I can already taste the kill
Like caressing an angel
Burning up in the atmosphere
And with the blood of a dying star above
My true aesthetic's unwinding
And I'm about to come undone
Alexis turns to the camera and points to the PUNK HAZARD logo before turning
back around while sticking her tongue out and mocking the audience members.
Meanwhile El Rudo and Grundy are following her with
Dante not so far behind, looking annoyed at the presence of the fans. El Rudo antagonizes the fans while Grundy scares some of them
with his near presence. Alexis looks at some of the
members of the audience before Alexis walks up the steel steps and goes under
the bottom rope. El Rudo places his trust bucket on
the apron before sliding in the ring. Grundy frantically starts
going after the nearest cameraman as Dante tags along with him.
Sharper: “Alexis Quinne on her way to the ring. While Kennedy Street is
throwing a tantrum backstage-“
Knots: “She’s not!”
Sharper: “She is. Alexis Quinne won’t need to worry about any gauntlets tonight.”
Knots: “Keenie
should’ve been in the finals.”
Sharper: “Instead, Quinne can focus tonight on her Taking Hold of the Flame
opponent and match for the Women’s Championship against Autumn Valentine.”
So don't let me become the one you love
'Cause I'll just take your blood and use you up
I know it's tempting to jump off the edge and fly
But this is not a dream
So don't let me become the one you love
Here I come
Once she enters the ring, El Rudo then points to
Alexis. Alexis smiles widely as she gives her friend a thumbs
up and then she ascends the nearest turnbuckle. She makes mocking faces towards
the audience while mouthing off. Alexis jumps off and sits on top of the
turnbuckle in the corner with a smirk on her face as she’s handed a microphone.
She then looks out to the crowd while seated on the top turnbuckle.
Quinne: “Oh Autumn….you may no
longer have a leg to stand on!”
Quinne chuckles as Rudo jumps up and down.
Quinne: “How is the leg by the way?
I mean clearly it was in great condition when we last saw you in the
tournament? Now, you can probably talk about how amazing you were to stand up
to the great Jake Starr…but I stood up to the legendary CHBK…and sure I lost.
But remember, I’m Pint-Sized Awesomeness. Maybe I’m fine with an early exit.
Maybe it just makes sure I still can kick your ass and choose the leg I do it
with!”
The crowd boos as Alexis Quinne laughs.
Quinne: “See, this is what I said
was going to happen. No matter what, what happens to MY title will be decided
by me. Just like at Clash in K.C. You’re the champion again Autumn.
Christy is now the afterthought she should be and I can focus on taking it from
you, getting YOUR attention and then I can dance around this ring with my
title, holding it high and celebrating every moment of my life. Autumn…it’s
coming to an end, this whole time with you making your name off my title. No
more.”
Sharper: “She’s confident to
say the least.”
Knots: “She’s Pint-Sized
Awesomeness!”
Quinne looks around before hopping
down.
Quinne: “See, I don’t care what
claims you make. Come on and run to the ring like the idiot you are. I’ll beat
your ass and brand you with the PH and you’ll just be another victim of someone
who couldn’t handle the truth-“
“King of the World” suddenly starts
to play. The crowd cheers and Quinne stops and looks
at the entrance way as we see Christy Matthews walk out from the back. She
heads down the rampway and over to the ring. She then
hops onto the apron.
Sharper: “Christy Matthews
making her way to the ring. I don’t like this. Autumn Valentine is not here.
She was given the night off after her knee was still bothering her.”
Knots: “Well she’s getting in
the ring. Right in there with PUNK HAZARD!”
Christy enters the ring and
looks over to Alexis Quinne. El Rudo,
Dante McCaffery and Grundy all look at her and
surround her. Christy then walks right up to Quinne.
Quinne: “What do you want, clumpnugget-“
Christy then pulls the
microphone out of the hand of Alexis Quinne. Quinne looks at Christy. The crowd cheers as Christy then
looks at Quinne.
Christy: “You know Alexis…I’m
going to say this once. It’s great to run your mouth. But Autumn
is going to make sure she shuts it and maybe for good. You won’t need to worry
about kissing Kennedy Street’s ass. You won’t need to worry about your title.
You’re not even going to have to worry about Awesomeness…you’ll just be
Pint-Sized and knocked back down to it!”
The crowd roars. Quinne then looks at her and says something to her. Christy
then nails Quinne in the side of the head with the
microphone. The crowd ohs and Grundy then turns and
boots Christy in the side of the head. The crowd boos and Christy falls to the
mat. Dante bails the ring and backs off, not wanting to get involved. Rudo and Grundy start to put the boots to Christy.
Sharper: “Come on! Christy
Matthews is getting booted into oblivion by PUNK HAZARD. Quinne
goaded a shot and now Christy Matthews is getting assaulted.”
Knots: “Well that’s why you
don’t get in other people’s business!”
Grundy and Rudo
continue to stomp away on Christy as Quinne smiles.
She then pulls up the back of her shirt and pulls out a can of spray paint. The
crowd boos. Dante just looks on and Quinne starts to
shake the can of spray pain before the crowd roars and we see one of the
cameras spin around. We then cut to see Regan Street on top of Dante McCaffery nailing him with repeated right hands.
Sharper: “Regan Street out
here! All over Dante McCaffery!”
Knots: “Where did she come
from?”
Sharper: “Dante cost Regan the
Best of the Best Tournament and she’s coming for blood!”
Quinne stops and heads over to the
ropes. Regan nails Dante with continues to shot and Quinne
drops down and heads over to Regan and tries to pull her off. Regan however
starts to choke Dante. Grundy turns and heads over and Regan lets go and nails Quinne, getting a roar from the crowd. She then steps
forward and backs off as Grundy stands by Dante McCaffery.
El Rudo drops down too. Regan just fumes at ringside
as PUNK HAZARD stands in front of her, preventing her from getting to Dante. We
then see several officials heading over to Regan and PUNK HAZARD. A few go into
the ring to check on Christy.
Sharper: “Officials down to
break this up. Regan Street got some measure, but not enough.”
Knots: “And Christy too…PUNK
HAZARD making statements!”
The officials keep everyone
apart as Regan turns and storms to the back. Christy stirs in the ring.
“Immortals” starts to play
with the Breakdown logo coming up on the screen. We then see a shot of Rachel
Foxx and then a shot of A$AP Scrappy.
Sharper: “If you watched the
tournament, you know these two have no love lost.”
Knots: “They beat the hell out
of each other then and now, it’s Falls Count Anywhere.”
Sharper: “That’s match, it’s next!”
The scene fades to black.
COMMERCIAL:
We open up backstage to see
Christy Matthews walking down the hallway backstage, wincing a bit from the
pain of the stomps. Spirit Dansby walks up to her.
Spirit: “Christy, can I get a
word?”
Christy stops and looks down
before turning to her.
Christy: “Fine.”
Spirit: “I’m just curious as
to what Alexis Quinne said that set you off.”
Christy: “It’s not important…”
Christy tries to walk off, but
Spirit stops her.
Spirit: “Please, Christy…”
Christy stops and turns.
Christy: “She asks me how it
feels to be overlooked for a rematch….I told her.”
Christy turns and walks off as
Spirit watches her leave.
Rachel Foxx vs. A$AP Scrappy
Falls Count Anywhere
A quick siren sound is heard
at the beginning of "Survival Tactics" by Joey Bada$$
as the lights dim and fire explodes out of the corner turnbuckles for a brief
moment as the real song continues.
N*ggas don't want war
I'm a martian with an army of spartans
Sparring with a knife in a missile fight
A$AP Scrappy comes walking out from the back in a black wifebeater,
baggy black jeans, black Lugz boots, and the black du-rag on his head as the crowd cheers. A replay of last
week comes up on the screen.
BEST OF THE BEST TOURNAMENT
NIGHT TWO – May 7, 2015
We suddenly see Rachel Foxx run
out from the back, clearly with a mission on her mind, and she runs over and
nails Scrappy with a vicious forearm. Scrappy falls over.
We then see Scrappy and Foxx fighting. We see the official trying to get
between them. He gets between Foxx and Scrappy as Scrappy staggers back and
Foxx immediately nails the official with a forearm. He goes down.
We cut forward to see Foxx
grabbing Scrappy. Officials run out from the back with some guards. Foxx nails
Scrappy with another shot before Scrappy turns and kicks her in the ribs. Foxx
kicks him back and is pulled back. Foxx spins around, but they try to keep her
back. Scrappy looks up at Foxx and yells out to her. The Breakdown logo comes
up on the screen.
We cut back to the ring to see
A$AP Scrappy pacing in the ring.
Sharper: “There you see how we
got to this match. They took each other out of the Best of the Best
Tournament.”
Knots: “Yeah. Foxx fined too.
She doesn’t care. Scrappy’s ready to go meanwhile.
Falls count anywhere tonight.”
The lights in the arena go
dark as “Take me to Church” by Hozier plays through
the dark arena.
“My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it”
As the bass line comes in, white strobes begin pulsing from the entryway, in
rhythm with the music, illuminating the plume of smoke which is rising from the
stage.
“My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you—
I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.”
As the “Amens” ring out, the arena goes dark again
and remains that way until the chorus rings out and the white light once again
illuminates the entryway showing Rachel Foxx slowly emerging from the smoke.
She is wearing a black zip-up hoodie with “MERCENARY” written in what looks
like red paint on the back. The hood covers her head, but her emotionless eyes
still stare out with a far away look as she slowly
makes her way down the ramp to the ring, never acknowledging the intense
reaction of the crowd around her as an eerie calm and coldness radiates from
her. As she heads down, Scrappy leaves the ring and runs up to her. Rachel Foxx
throws off the hood and nails Scrappy with a forearm. The bell sounds to start
the match.
Sharper: “Scrappy is going
right at Rachel Foxx!”
Knots: “They’re picking up
right where they left off during the tournament! Difference is…they can keep
fighting!”
Scrappy nails Foxx with a hard
right and both spin around. Scrappy grabs Foxx and just manages to hip throw
her over. She rolls over and Scrappy turns to her and nails her with a hard
right. Foxx nearly falls off the side of the ramp and Scrappy nails her again. Foxx
falls off and lands on her feet and walks over. Scrappy hops down and runs at
Foxx and clubs her in the back, knocking her down. She rolls through. Foxx
starts to get up and Scrappy walks over to Foxx and nails her with a hard right
and then another. Foxx falls over to a table covered with cords nearby. Scrappy
grabs her and Foxx turns and rakes the eyes of Scrappy. Scrappy staggers back
and Foxx grabs him and runs him over into the side of the stage. Scrappy falls over. The referee walks over and watches. Foxx
then stomps Scrappy in the face and then stomps him a second shot again.
Sharper: “Foxx with a couple
of stomps. Right to the head. She’s not going to mess
around.”
Knots: “And that’s concrete
there. So Scrappy’s having lots of fun with the
impact coming twice.”
Foxx grabs Scrappy and drags
him up by his hair and throws him forward. He rolls over. Foxx walks over and
stomps him in the ribs. Scrappy rolls over and starts to get up. Foxx nails
Scrappy with a forearm. Scrappy falls back and goes through the curtain. Foxx
follows after. The camera follows sticking right with the action. Foxx forearms
Scrappy again. Scrappy staggers back. Foxx then runs forward and hits a
straight kick right to the ribs, knocking Scrappy back and hard into a couple
of storage crates. Scrappy rolls over and Foxx grabs Scrappy, digging her
fingers into the eye of Scrappy. Scrappy yells out and elbows her in the jaw.
Foxx staggers off. Scrappy winces.
Sharper: “Foxx going for Scrappy’s good eye. Remember, he injured his other eye in a
match with Typhoid Mary.”
Knots: “Yeah and I doubt he
wants to mess with Foxx too much. She’s nuts too.”
Scrappy follows after Foxx and
Foxx turns around and Scrappy nails her with a hard right and then another.
Foxx stumbles back. Scrappy then grabs Foxx and runs her over and throws her
into some lighting. Foxx knocks it down and falls over, rolling over. She
starts to get up as Scrappy follows her. Scrappy then scoops her up and slams
her onto the concrete floor. Scrappy then drops down and starts to choke her
with his hand. The referee calls for a break, but can’t do much else as Scrappy
keeps choking Foxx. The crowd roars in the arena and Foxx reaches up and rakes
his good eye. Scrappy falls over and holds his eye. Foxx starts to get up and
Scrappy gets up too. Foxx then runs at him and spears him back into a concrete
wall. Foxx then grabs Scrappy and runs him over into some tables and up onto
them. Scrappy slides along them before falling over.
Sharper: “Scrappy and Foxx are
destroying the backstage area.”
Knots: “Yeah, really. They’re
fighting all over. Being allowed to fight too.”
We see Gigi Steward just
looking on before walking off. Foxx grabs Scrappy and nails him with a forearm
and then another. She grabs Scrappy before slowly lifting him up. Scrappy then
suddenly lifts her up and throws her into one of the tables. The table collapses
under the impact. Foxx winces. Scrappy looks at Foxx and drops down and pulls
her up. Scrappy then scoops her up and lets out a yell before running down the
hallway and driving her back first into the corner of the wall as a new hallway
develops. Foxx falls to the ground hard. Scrappy walks forward. Foxx rolls
over, holding her back. Scrappy then walks over to her and steps over her and
nails her with a crossface punch. She then nails her
with another one and another one. The crowd ohs. Scrappy pulls Foxx up by her hair and drags her
up. He then turns and drags her down one of the hallways before running her
over and into one of the metal garage doors heading to a loading bay. Foxx
falls back. She rolls over and Scrappy grabs Foxx.
Sharper: “Scrappy just all in
control here. Foxx hard into that metal, that garage.”
Knots: “And he’s not
stopping.”
Sharper: “Neither has gone for
a pin. Not even an attempt of one.”
Scrappy drags her up as we see
the garage door start to open behind him. Scrappy pulls foxx
up only for Foxx to suddenly hook his head and hit
the Downfall into the concrete. Scrappy slowly rolls over as Foxx shakes her
head, holding herself a bit before starting to slowly get up. Just then, we see
Kordy slip from under the garage door and run over to
Foxx and nail her with a couple of hard rights as the crowd boos.
Sharper: “Kordy!
Kordy
coming from the other side of that garage.”
Knots: “And she’s hammering
away on the former Underground Champion!”
Sharper: “Just going after
her!”
Kordy kicks Foxx, knocking her
down. Scrappy starts to get up and Kordy turns to him
and grabs him, but Scrappy headbutts her and nails
her with a hard right. Red Rayne then walks out from the loading bay entrance
and Scrappy tells her to come at her only for Scrappy to go towards her and Red
Rayne to spew the Bloodbath at Scrappy. Scrappy turns and holds his eyes in
pain. He turns and Auclair then moves in and nails
him with the Deathblow. Scrappy falls to the ground.
Foxx turns and gets up and Red Rayne kicks her in the ribs and turns before
running her towards Auclair and Auclair
nails her with a Deathblow too. The crowd ohs.
Sharper: “Deathblow to Foxx.”
Knots: “Scrappy got one too.
Both are out!”
Sharper: “Red Rayne, Matt Auclair and Kordy with an orchestrated
assault.”
We then see Red Rayne start to
lift Rachel Foxx up and Auclair hoists her up and
throws her over her shoulder. The three then head off.
Kordy stays however as Rachel Tatum Lee runs over and
goes to stop them, but Kordy cuts her off. Auclair and Red Rayne walk back through the garage door
entrance. Tatum tries to get past Kordy, but Kordy and her trade some blows, right hands back and forth.
Tatum gets a few more shots in on Kordy and then
pulls her into a short-arm clothesline .Tatum then runs off and through the
door. The cameraman follows as we see a black sedan driving off. Tatum takes a
few more steps before stopping. She then looks around and lets out a yell.
Knots: “Where are they going
with her?”
Sharper: “I don’t know…but I don’t
like this…I don’t like this at all.”
Tatum looks around and storms
back over to the cameraman, pushing him out of her way before storming back off
inside.
COMMERCIAL:
We return to Breakdown and
open up backstage to see Sterling Hero standing in the hallway with a cup and
starting to wrap duct tape around his waist.
Sharper: “What the…”
Hero starts to wrap the duct
tape around his waist before he looks up and stops. Derek Adonis walks over to
him as some in the crowd cheer.
Adonis: “What are you doing?
That’s not going to help you have some fun later!”
Hero: “It will
if I keep it away from those New Eden chicks…I don’t want it cut off!”
Adonis: “Oh, please. You just
need to get on their good side. You just need to give the ladies what they want
and they’ll be nice people! Just like Man Mountain here. Everyone loves me!”
Hero: “Everyone? All the ladies?”
Adonis: “Well everyone but
Stacy Kissinger. She’s bad news.”
Hero: “Please…She’s probably a
screamer. My ears couldn’t handle it.”
Adonis: “Now…take that off…I
saw your match against Kelcey. I’ve survived three
matches with her.”
Hero’s jaw drops.
Adonis: “Come…I’ll teach you
how to KABLAM!”
Hero then rips the duct tape
off before turning and following Derek Adonis. The crowd roars as we cut back
to ringside.
Donovan Kayl
vs. Dylan Howell
"Epic" by Faith No
More starts to play as the spotlight focuses on the top of the ramp.
Immediately, the crowd rise to their feet in a raucous ovation.
Can you feel it
See it
Hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
Stepping out to the top of the ramp is "The Cornerstone" Donovan Kayl. He steps to the side, facing out to the crowd.
It's so cool
It's so hip
It's alright
It's so groovy
It's outta sight
You can touch it
Smell it
Taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet
After turning his head to survey the entire crowd, he turns to face the front
of the ramp, beginning to walk out towards the ring.
You want it all but you can't have it
Kayl keeps his eyes focused on the ring ahead, and
with a stoic gaze in his eyes, slaps the hands of a few fans at ringside.
It's cryin'
Bleedin'
Lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it
So you dare it
Then you bare it
And you tear it
Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, Donovan pulls himself up onto the
apron, walking over to the corner. He climbs up onto the second rope, looking
out over the crowd, until the second chorus hits...
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
Kayl throws his arms up for the roaring crowd,
shouting out something that's just impossible to hear outside of the first
couple of rows nearby. He hops the top rope into the ring, moving to the middle
where he spins once, dropping to a knee and shooting his arms out. He drops his
head as the crowd showers the ring with streamers, cascading down around him as
he looks at the ring under his knee before raising his head upward slowly.
Sharper: “Donovan Kayl about to face off against one of Kennedy Street’s
followers.”
Knots: “Yeah. Pull him away
while Kennedy needs all of the support she can get in this trying time.”
Sharper: “You’re out here.”
Knots: “Trust me…if I stayed
back there, Keenie wouldn’t have Breakdown every week
to save lives on!”
The lights go out and as Van
Halen's powerful anthem "Top of the World" begins, white strobe
lights do as well. Soon appearing on stage is Dylan Howell, dressed in a black
leather jacket with red shorts and boots, both bearing his initials.
The crowd boos as Howell shakes his head and continues on his way to the ring.
Dylan reaches the ring and looks up at Kayl and walks
up the steel steps. He then enters the ring before taking off his entrance
attire. He stretches out as Kayl watches him.
Sharper: “Dylan Howell about
to face Donovan Kayl. Howell wasn’t able to get past Kelcey Wallace. Donovan Kayl had
an early exist thanks to a surprise replacement in Dillusion.”
Knots: “Yeah well, that seems
to be their lives. Howell could use the opportunities and doesn’t get them and Kayl just squanders them.”
The bell sounds and Howell
watches Kayl as he exits the ring. He walks around as
the crowd boos. Howell stretches out on the floor. (1) Kayl
just watches Howell and walks forward and Howell turns and snaps at the
official. (2) Kayl backs up and shakes his head as
Howell then rolls back into the ring. He smirks and Kayl
then looks at him, asking him almost if he’s ready. Howell nods and Kayl then gets ready too before both go to lunge for a
grapple, but Howell suddenly smacks Kayl with a hard
shot. The crowd ohs. Howell
then kicks him in the ribs. Kayl falls back. Howell
nails him with a hard right and then another before kneeing him in the jaw. Kayl falls to the ropes. Howell then looks at him and nails
him with a hard right and then another and another, all while against the
ropes. The referee calls for the break.

Howell then stops and backs
up. Howell walks around the ring as the crowd boos. He looks around as Kayl falls to a knee. He holds his jaw before starting to
get up.
Sharper: “Howell quickly
getting into Kayl’s face.”
Knots: “There you go. Put him
in his place.”
Kayl gets up and Howell turns back
and nails him with another right hand. Kayl falls
back to the ropes. Howell then whips him across. Kayl
bounces off the ropes and Howell nails him with a back elbow. He then pushes
him back down for the pin.

bounces off and Howell lifts him up. Kayl spins

the ribs and throws him into the corner. Howell turns and Kayl

bounces out of the corner. Kayl runs at Howell and
Howell ducks a clothesline attempt. Kayl stops at the
corner. Howell turns and Kayl elbows him in the jaw.
Howell staggers back. Kayl then climbs up to the top
rope. Howell however pushes Kayl’s legs out and Kayl lands hard on the top turnbuckle before falling upside
down in the Tree of Woe.
Knots: “He’s doing some
thinking!”
Sharper: “Tree of Woe. Bad landing for Kayl. Howell now lining him up.”
Howell smirks as he runs
around the ring before running at Kayl and hitting a facewash boot to the face of Kayl.
The crowd ohs. Howell then
gets up as Kayl falls to the mat. Howell then drags Kayl up and turns and hits a vertical suplex
to the middle of the ring. He floats over into a pin.

Kayl gets his shoulder up. Howell
looks up and then gets up and hits a knee drop to the face of Kayl. Kayl rolls over. Howell
grabs him and locks in a reverse chinlock. He pulls
back as the crowd boos. Howell looks around. Kayl
reaches up in the air and starts to slowly look around. The crowd claps for him
and Kayl slowly turns to his knees. Howell holds on
and Kayl gets one foot up from under him and then
elbows Howell in the ribs. He elbows him again and Howell lets go. He turns
around, wincing before Kayl jumps up and dropkicks
him down.
Sharper: “Kayl,
dropkick to the face.”
Knots: “Yeah, go right for his
face. He’s going to be father soon.”
Sharper: “It’s a contact
sport, Jon!”
Kayl gets up and Howell starts to
get up. Kayl scoops him up and hits a back suplex. He then gets up and runs into the ropes and hits a
running elbow drop. He follows up with the pin.

Dylan!”
1!

The crowd cheers. Kayl rolls off of Howell and takes a few moments to catch
his breath. He then starts to get up and has his arm raised.
He looks at Howell before turning and exiting to the floor. Kayl
then starts to make his way up the rampway to the
back.
Sharper: “Donovan Kayl, in a hard fought match, gets a win over Dylan
Howell.”
Knots: “Yeah, yeah…”
The crowd continues to cheer
for Kayl as he disappears through the curtain.
We open up backstage to the
locker room of Silas’ World. We see Sienna Swann ready for her match and Katie
Steward too. TJ Johnson looks on as Gigi Steward sits in the back. Angelica
Jones is notably missing as Silas turns to Sienna and Katie.
Silas: “Alright…time to remind
people that the Best of the Best was a blip in the data. Nothin’
more. Yer the Real Perfect Ten, Baby Face and
we’re gonna prove it…and Baby Goddess…we’re gonna work ta gettin’ ya that Tag Title shot-“
Harmony: “Silas.”
Silas turns to Harmony.
Silas: “Yes, Baby Cakes. Make
it fast.”
Harmony sighs.
Harmony: “Give me the
opportunity. You know who we’re facing. I need to finish some items there.”
Silas: “Baby Cakes-“
Harmony: “Please…I’ll do
anything.”
Silas then looks down before
turning to Sienna.
Silas: “Fine…Baby Face…relax. Next week, I’ll get ya
somethin’ better. Baby Cakes…yer in with Baby
Goddess…don’t screw up though.”
Harmony: “I won’t.”
Katie turns to Silas a bit
less than impressed before turning and walking out of the room. Harmony then
turns and follows after her with TJ Johnson taking the rear.
Sharper: “Harmony Fisher and
Katie Steward will be in action next. This is going to be interesting.”
The scene fades to black.
COMMERCIAL:
Harmony Fisher & Katie Steward
vs. Simon Lyman & Tommy Valentine
The house lights dim and the
opening cymbal crash and riffs to "Tonight" by Seether
begins to blare throughout the arena. A buzz can be
heard rising through the crowd into cheers as the lyics
begin...
I'm not gonna waste this
This opportunity's mine
I'm sick of complaining
About a beautiful life
On the Jumbotron, clips of Simon hitting high impact
and high risk moves plays as the song continues, hyping the fans even further
How did we get here?
Did we forget all the things inside?
And how do we stay here?
Do we embrace all the things denied?
As the refrain begins, Cailey Carter makes her way
out on stage first dressed in a form fitting short black dress and black high
heeled boots followed by Simon in his ring attire. The two look at each other then the crowd smiling ear-to-ear before striding to the
ring confidently side-by-side
I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over, and we're older
Phillips: Now approaching the ring accompanied by Cailey
Carter, from Columbus, Ohio and weighing 230 pounds, "Simply
Sensational" SIIIIIIIIMON LYYYYYMAN!!!
While the fans roar, Simon and Cailey arrive at the
ring. Simon takes off his jacket handing it to Cailey
and they kiss each other briefly, then Simon enters the ring with Cailey in his corner. He goes to each of the corners and
climbs to the second turnbuckle while the song continues to play
Like sugar and cyanide
These worlds are gonna collide
I want to yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over, and we're older
As "Tonight" winds down with Simon now in his corner we see a slight
smile still on his face looking out into the crowd anticipating the start of
the match and the show he will put on for them before going back to his corner
to talk with Cailey on the outside awaiting the start
of the match. The arena's lights cut out completely, plunging the whole room
into darkness for several seconds before the screens light up to display a
countdown.
THOMAS VALENTINE WILL BLOW THE
ROOF OFF IN
5...

NOW!
The screens show static for a few seconds before going dark once more. The
black screen starts to pulse now like a heartbeat and on each pulse that
reverberates round the arena, a shot of Thomas in various poses is shown before
reverting to the blackness until the next pulse that sounds like a bass drum
beat with increasing volume until a final shot of him holding the SCW Title
aloft after winning the match at Taking Hold Of The Flame is Shown and remains
until two green fireworks shoot from the rafters and explode on the ramp. The
explosion drifts across the ramp before the beginning chords to "Darkest Of Kin" by Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, hits.
“ALL OF YOU, GO ABOUT YOUR DAY, NEVER TRULY LIVING!
WALKING SO CLOSE TO DEATH, LETS ME KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE! IT'S WHERE I
FIND MY HIGH. TERROR THIS WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN. LOOK IN MY EYES, SEE WHAT I'VE
DONE! ALWAYS ON THE MOVE, HELL COMES ALONG!”
A shot of "Thorn" going for the Swanton from the top of a chamber pod
at Under Attack 2009 is shown in slow motion as he misses it and hits nothing
but canvas.
"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!"
A shot now of him hitting the Socially Unacceptable Moonsault
stomp from the top rope onto Justin Davis is shown, the impact punctuated by
the last word of the verse before a shadowed figure can be seen standing in
front of the curtain at the top of the ramp.
"STAND UP, FISTS OUT - THIS IS THE REAL THING!"
As the last word echoes, the lights start to strobe again briefly as the song reverbrates throughout the arena now, causing the fans to
start cheering.
The lights finally flicker back on and Thomas Valentine can now be seen on top
of the arena's ramp in a set of shades with a custom logo on the lens, as he looks
out into the audience that are now cheering loudly, chanting his name in some
cases. He stops and smiles a little before spinning around away from the fans
and holding his arms outwards before making a beckoning motion with his hands,
fireworks shoot out at the top of the ramp again in a burst before he spins one
hundred and eighty degrees and resumes walking down to the ring again.
"BABY I'M BAD, I'M THE FEAR IN YOUR EYES. THAT
HATE IN YOUR HEART HAS BEEN BRANDED WITH MY NAME!"
As he walks past the barrier he looks out into the crowds and goes to high five
as many fans as possible before moving on down the ramp, revelling in their
adoration and cheers before he slides underneath the ropes and immediately runs
to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, making beckoning gestures again before
smiling at all the fans in the crowds. He jumps down and does the same to all
the turnbuckles before standing still in the centre, cranking his neck. Thomas
then takes the sunglasses off and hands them to the referee, telling him to
keep them safe before waiting for his opponents and talking to Simon Lyman.
Sharper: “Here we go. Harmony
Fisher said she wanted to make a statement. She’ll be facing an interesting
team. Her third time also facing Tommy Valentine in some way
in the last month. Different partners each time.”
Knots: “Harmony Fisher is
going to be fine. She’s just really eager to prove herself when she was nearly
on the outs a few months ago.”
"OOOOOOOOOH! I MISS THE MISERY!"
Words scroll across the video screens as shots of Harmony wrestling flicker on
and off
BEAUTIFUL/DANGEROUS
"I Miss The Misery" By Halestorm
hits the PA system as Harmony slowly makes her way out from the back and smirks
before posing at the top of the stage and blowing a kiss to the fans who just
boo her.
"I've been a mess since you stayed
I've been a wreck since you changed
Don't let me get in your way
I miss the lies and the pain
The fights that keep us awake - ake - ake!"
She shrugs and makes her Devil Horn gesture and starts to saunter to the ring.
She climbs onto the apron and turns to look at the crowds before smirking and
then deliberately takes her time to get into the ring. Fisher then looks out at
the people in the crowds and climbs the turnbuckle before nodding and giving
them the Devil Horn gesture again, the smirk once again on her face on her face
before turning and sitting on the turnbuckle patiently, seemingly basking in
the reception that she is receiving. She just looks at Tommy and Simon before
turning to the entrance way.
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. Katie Steward emerges from
behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat
and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls.
Katie starts her walk down the ramp to ringside. TJ Johnson exists from behind
the curtain and follows his Goddess. Katie Steward then walks over to the steel
steps and enters into the ring. She goes to pose, but Harmony walks over to
her. Harmony says a few things to Katie and Katie then nods before taking off
her entrance attire. TJ hops onto the apron.
Sharper: “Katie Steward getting some orders with Harmony.”
Knots: “Harmony wants her
moment. Probably just asking Katie to let her take lead on
this!”
Sharper: “TJ looks concerned.
Katie is getting right down to business.”
Katie tells TJ to relax. Katie
then steps to the apron. TJ drops back down. Harmony then smiles and turns to
Tommy and Simon. Tommy just shrugs and turns to her. The bell sounds.
Sharper: “Here we go. Harmony starting out and Tommy ready to face her. Familiar
story so far.”
Harmony steps forward and
looks at Tommy. Tommy and Harmony watch one another and Tommy moves in and
Harmony goes for a kick. Tommy catches the leg. Harmony then goes for a hard
right, but Tommy jukes back. He shoves her back and Harmony falls back to the
ropes. Katie just looks on and motions to Tommy. Harmony glares a bit and steps
forward and goes to nail Tommy with another forearm, but Tommy blocks it and
grabs the arm, twisting it out into an arm wrench. Harmony winces. Tommy jerks
on the arm. Harmony winces some more. Tommy then wrenches the arm again.
Harmony looks out and flips forward and nips up before going to turn Tommy’s
arm, but Tommy blocks it and trips her up. He goes for the pin.
1!
Harmony kicks out. Both get up
and Harmony goes to nail Tommy, but Tommy lifts her up and back drops her over.
He then grabs her arm and tags in Simon. Simon enters the ring and Harmony gets
up and Simon grabs the arm and wrenches it. Tommy exits the ring.
Sharper: “Tommy clearly taking
advantage of Harmony’s aggressiveness.”
Knots: “Come on Harmony. Slow
down. It’s Simon Lyman and Tommy Valentine. Two people that probably would love
to keep you from pleasing Silas!”
Simon continues to hold onto
her arm. Simon then turns and pushes her into the ropes. He then turns and
whips Harmony into the ropes. Harmony bounces off the ropes. Simon goes to grab
her and Harmony slides through his feet. Harmony rolls over and Simon turns and
Harmony gets up and kicks Simon in the ribs and the nails him with a hard
right. Harmony then kicks Simon again and she turns and runs into the ropes.
Simon counters, off the rebound, with a hip toss. Simon goes for the pin.

and Simon turns and grabs Harmony. Harmony reaches up and rakes the eyes. Simon
turns around and holds his eyes. He turns around and Harmony jumps up and
dropkicks Simon back into the corner. Harmony gets up and hits another
dropkick, knocking him back into the corner. Harmony grabs Simon and then turns
and drags his face along the top rope. The crowd boos and Simon turns and holds
his face. The referee reprimands her. Harmony backs up. Simon then turns and
tags in Tommy. Tommy enters the ring as Harmony then smirks.
Sharper: “Harmony seemingly
happy that Simon made the tag.”
Knots: “Told you. She just
needed to slow down and this is going to be hers. She’ll wrestle circles around
Tommy and Simon!”
Sharper: “Simon out. Tommy in. Harmony pleased. Katie Steward
just looking on.”
Tommy looks at Harmony and Harmony
watches him and then lunges at his legs. Tommy blocks her and then grabs her
head and pulls her up. Tommy then knees her in the ribs and spins her around
into the corner. Tommy turns and goes for a hard right, but Harmony thumbs
Tommy in the eyes. Tommy backs up and Harmony dropkicks Tommy in the knee.
Tommy winces and falls forward. Harmony then knees Tommy in the face. Tommy

before hooking her up for a vertical suplex. He then
turns and drops her stomach first on the top rope. Tommy then turns and tags in
Simon and Simon slingshots into the ring before running at Harmony and nailing
her with a boot. Harmony falls over to the apron. Simon quickly grabs her and
drags her into the ring.
Sharper: “Simon back in and a
vicious kick to Harmony’s head. She got caught.”
Knots: “And Simon just dragging her back in. This is bad….and this….what the
hell is he doing here?”
We then see Marcus V. Lopez
wandering out from the back, having come along the side of the rampway. He heads towards the ring and TJ Johnson notices
him as Simon goes for the pin.

Harmony kicks out. She turns
as Simon gets up. TJ Johnson tries to stop Marcus from getting to the ring.
MV: “I have to talk to her. To
her! My partner!”
Katie just rolls her eyes.
Johnson: “No! You can’t!”
MV: “TJ! Please! I’m not
Violator! I’m fine!”
Katie then jumps down and goes

I’m with Silas Mason! He is going to lead me there. Not you!”
MV: “Bonjour! But I helped win
you the shot!”
We cut back to the ring as
Harmony is hammering away on Simon. She then gets up and runs over to Tommy and
goes to nail him with a forearm. Tommy nearly falls off and Harmony turns
around to Simon and Harmony grabs him, only for Simon to suddenly grab her and
throw her overhead with a belly to belly suplex. The
crowd roars. Katie keeps arguing with MV.
Katie: “TJ! Get him-“
Johnson: “Come on!”
MV: “No…no…I should be teaming
with you. Not her. Not Sienna. Me!”
Harmony rolls over and reaches
for a tag, but notices that Katie Steward isn’t there. She then notices her at
ringside before suddenly she turns around and Simon kicks her in the ribs,
hooks her up between his legs before lifting her up and cradling her head. He
then hits a powerbomb suplex.
Simon rolls over and grabs Harmony’s arm and moves her a bit before turning and
tagging in Tommy. Tommy climbs up to the top rope. TJ Johnson glances into the
ring and shakes Katie. Katie starts to yell at MV as MV shirks back at this
point.
Katie: “I don’t like you. I
don’t need you. You are an anchor holding me back. Get out of here Marcus!
LEAVE ME ALONE!”
Tommy meanwhile hits the
Valkyrie’s Beckon. He follows up with a pin.
1!

The bell sounds and Katie
turns to the ring. She then turns and slides in as MV looks at her and then
turns and quickly starts to head off. Tommy Valentine gets up off of Harmony as
Harmony holds her ribs. The referee raises Tommy and Simon’s arms. The crowd
cheers.
Sharper: “Marcus V. Lopez
distracted Katie Steward, still trying to convince her to be his partner…”
Knots: “Come on! He screwed
over Harmony Fisher! He screwed him over!”
Sharper: “Either way, Tommy
Valentine and Simon Lyman get the win. Harmony Fisher has to go back to Silas
Mason and explain this.”
Knots: “It wasn’t her fault!”
Katie just looks at Tommy and
Simon before glancing back to see Marcus leaving through the curtain. Simon and
Tommy just look at Katie and Tommy shakes his head at Harmony before exiting
the ring. Simon follows and we cut backstage.
We open up backstage to see
Rachel Tatum Lee heading out of her locker room with her cell phone in her
hand. We then see Jessica Winters come into view.
Jessica: “Rachel! Rachel!
Quick word-“
Tatum: “I don’t have time.
They dropped Foxx off and I’m not lettin’ ya screw that up!”
Jessica: “So she’s safe?
Sorry…we’ve been waiting for any word-“
Tatum: “I told ya!”
Rachel Tatum Lee continues
down the hallway before suddenly, she’s nailed from the side by a boot to the
head. She falls into the wall. We then see Blitzkrieg and Blitzkrieg grabs
Selena and grabs her by the throat with both hands and lifts her up onto the
wall. Tatum struggles and Blitzkrieg just grunts as we then see Typhoid Mary
watching. Blitzkrieg then pulls her off and slams her against the wall.
Sharper: “Blitzkrieg is
attacking Rachel Tatum Lee! She did watch him suffer at the hands of Aiken
years ago…”
Knots: “I don’t know if he
cares!”
Blitzkrieg then slams her
again before Selena Frost suddenly comes into view and nails Blitzkrieg in the
back. She nails him a few times before Blitzkrieg drops Tatum. Selena then
pulls Blitzkrieg a bit away only for Blitzkrieg to shove Selena back. Selena
rolls back and goes into the wall as Blitzkrieg then grabs Tatum and pulls her
up only to lift her up for a powerbomb and slam her
into the wall. The crowd ohs as Typhoid Mary then
turns to Blitzkrieg. Blitzkrieg turns and walks off as Selena starts to get up
and heads over to Rachel Tatum Lee as Jessica Winters does the same. An official
runs over too.
Sharper: “Blitzkrieg with a powerbomb against the wall. He now heads off.”
Knots: “He’s back and he’s
going after anyone it seems?!”
The camera focuses on Rachel
Tatum Lee and Selena Frost as we cut to commercial.
COMMERCIAL:
We open up at ringside and see
Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots at the announce table.
Sharper: “Welcome back to
Breakdown. It’s been an eventful night here. And one of the big issues is the
return of Blitzkrieg and Rachel Foxx being dragged off by Matt Auclair and Rachel Foxx.”
Knots: “Yeah, Blitzkrieg is
back and takes out Brittany Lohan and Rachel Tatum Lee. And
Foxx?”
Sharper: “Well we can tell
you. After Red Rayne contacted Rachel Tatum Lee, officials found out what was
said and we have confirmed it. Rachel Foxx is relatively okay. She was found
walking in front of the nearby hospital. And this just echoes what Rachel Foxx
did to Josh Hudson a couple of years ago.”
Knots: “Yeah. They’re sending
messages. Big ones. We’ll go after family. We’ll go
after you. We’ll humiliate you. And now Blitzkrieg?”
Sharper: “I don’t know…but
this is getting very personal and you know what Foxx does when you play her
game….she ups hers.”
Knots: “And that’s not good
for anyone.”
Sharper: “Wait…wait a minute. We have something going on backstage.”
Just then, we cut backstage.
We open up outside of the office of Mr. D. He’s in the hallway and we see James
Evans standing in the hallway with his entourage.
James: “What? Surprised to see me.”
Mr. D: “James…you’re not under
contract!”
James: “Oh please. I’m someone
that offers you so much more than these derelicts.”
Mr. D glances behind him. A
couple of guards step forward.
James: “Really? You’re going
to toss us out.”
Mr. D: “Yes…I know you’re not
going to be here for a fun time. You’re going to be here to cause problems.”
James just chuckles.
James: “Fine…then I’ll just
see you at Taking Hold of the Flame. Open invite…can’t get rid of me that easy.
Best of the Best and now this….I’ll just outduel you, you son of a bitch.”
Mr. D just watches as James
turns and his entourage walks with him. James pulls his arms away from one of
the guards before the guards lead them down the hallway. The crowd boos as Mr.
D just shakes his head before turning to one of the officials still with him.
Mr. D: “Make sure he’s not
back in before then.”
The official nods and we then
cut back.
Sharper: “James Evans around?”
Knots: “And clearly he’s got
some unfinished business.”
Sharper: “And he’s declared
for the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal. He’s allowed to…What a night.”
The arena lights slowly fade
to black, and the sharp opening chords of "This Fire" by Killswitch Engage boom through the speaker system. The
skull of the Social Misfits begins to flicker on the jumbotron
like a strobe light, and the spotlights do the same, as one ultimately focuses
its beam right on the entrance right as the first scream echoes. As the words
of the first verse begin to play, Jake Starr slowly emerges from the locker
room, carrying his chair in his right hand.
Sharper: “Why is he out here?”
Knots: “I don’t know. I don’t
care. Maybe he’ll come out and take both Cruze and
Helms out and we can crown Keenie Best of the Best!”
After looking over the torn crowd with a callous and cocky smirk on his face,
he slowly unfolds the battered piece of steel and sets it down in front of
himself, ultimately straddling it and leaning forward. The reaction from the
crowd is more negative than it has ever been in his career, and he almost
thrives on the negative energy pouring in his direction. As the crowd gets
louder, trying to rattle him, and in very few cases, support him, his smile
grows more and more, showing a sense of arrogance growing by the moment. He
slowly leans back, extending his arms to the side, and making a motion for the
crowd to give it to him the best way they can, and the crowd responds by
cheering and jeering as loud as they can.
As the chorus ends, Jake springs up and grabs the chair. He begin
walking toward the ring, and Jake folds the chair back up.
This is the broken ground
Misery begins to rise.
Turn away from yesterday,
tomorrow's in my eyes.
Nevermore to be held down
by the wings of history.
Nevermore to be cast aside,
this day is mine.
After he reaches ringside, Jake climbs the stairs. Getting on the ring apron,
he ascends to the second turnbuckle, and takes in the crowd reactions to each
side, smirking again. He then jumps into the ring, grabbing the chair with both
hands, and slamming it hard right into the middle of the ring. He then turns to
the announce table before walking over to the ropes and stepping through to the
floor and drops down to the floor.
Knots: “Oh he’s coming over
here.”
Sharper: “I’m not sure about
this.”
Starr heads over to the
announce table and unfolds his chair. He then puts it right next to Adam
Sharper. He sits down and grabs the extra headset and puts it on.
Sharper: “Well Jake, why are
you joining us out here?”
Starr: “What? Can’t I just sit
down and relax out here?”
Knots: “Uh…no.”
Sharper: “You attacked David
Helms-“
Starr: “Or helped him?”
Sharper: “I doubt that Jake.”
Starr turns to Sharper and
Knots.
Starr: “Look…maybe I’m out
here for scouting. Wouldn’t mind checking out Cruze
before he’s in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and Helms…well, I figured
I’d support a friend before he retires too.”
Sharper: “And Kelcey?”
Starr: “With the stick up her
ass…she’d find something to get pissed off about. I look at it this way.
Wiseman’s suspended so no one can mistake what I’m doing…they do, I’ve got Chairee here.”
Knots: “Yeah, but you’re a bit
alone right now.”
Starr: “Come on Jon. You know
why. Xander was going to get suspended because
Merrick Wiseman was proven to be a fraud. And instead of taking his medicine
like Dr. Douchebag wanted…he took the option he preferred. He had it with the
BS and left. One less Hall of Famer.”
Sharper: “And you’re not
angry?”
Starr: “I’m not Kelcey Wallace. I don’t pick fights I can’t win. I don’t
bitch about everything except what I deserve. And right now, I deserve a shot
at your precious Keenie and I’m sure she’d love to remeet Chairee.”
Knots: “Oh yeah, that’s rich.”
Sharper: “Calm down Jon…”
We then see Mr. D heading down
from the back with some of the security team and a few officials. They head down
to the ring and Mr. D points to Jake. They walk around. Jake turns and smirks.
Starr: “Oh look…I’ve got a
welcoming committee.”
Starr gets up and tosses off
the headset before folding the chair up. Just then, we see Chris Cannon storm
out from the back and head down to the ring. Mr. D follows one group on the
side. They head over and look at Starr. Mr. D then tells him to come with them.
Starr just shrugs and holds up the chair. A few more guards head over from the
other side and just then, we see Chris Cannon head around the ring and with the
guards focusing on Starr, Cannon bursts through and runs over to Starr. Starr
turns to swing, but Cannon grabs him and closes the distance.
Sharper: “Wait a minute! Chris Cannon out here!”
Knots: “Came behind the
security! He’s got Starr!”
Sharper: “Starr couldn’t get
to him!”
The guards pull the chair away
and Cannon pulls Starr down. He gets a shot in before guards pull him back. Mr.
D snaps at Cannon as he turns and Starr slowly starts to get up. He backs up
and laughs as officials and guards keep him back. Mr. D stands between them.
Sharper: “Cannon and Starr
yelling at each other.”
Knots: “Cannon had it with
Starr’s comments about Kelcey!”
Sharper: “Mr. D in between
them. We’re going to try and get this taken care of. When we return, the finals
of the Best of the Best Tournament! Shaun Cruze and
David Helms will clash! Next!”
Starr continues to laugh as
Cannon glares at him. The guards keep them apart as the scene fades to black.

(2) Shaun Cruze
vs. (2) David Helms
Best of the Best Tournament Finals
The arena's lights cut and the
room falls into complete darkness as a buzz spreads through the crowd, the
screens suddenly lighting up with one single solitary word...
"BANG!"
As the crowd react, the entire stage lights up with a brilliant white light and
the opening riff of an SCW remixed version of "All I Want" by A Day To Remember hits the pa system. The crowd erupt into cheers
again as they spot the silhouette of David Helms standing there, his arms held
aloft and his hands throwing the Self High Five, all framed by the brilliant
white light behind him.
“ALL I WANT IS A PLACE TO CALL MY OWN
TO MEND THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO FEELS ALONE
WOAH; YOU KNOW TO KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH
BUT YOU HEAD DOWN LOW!”
The intro gives way to the chorus and the lyrics of said chorus flash up on the
screen as Helms suddenly jumps into the air and breaks his hands apart,
pyrotechnics exploding on either side of the stage as he lands and the house
lights raise again as Helms grins at the fans. He glances back as Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson walk out from the back. Helms smirks before suddenly bolting towards the ring.
Reaching the ring, Helms jumps
up and slides under the bottom rope feet first before jumping straight back to
his feet and climbing straight to the middle rope of the nearest ring post. He
throws his hands up into the Self High Five to another cheer before hopping
down and walking towards the closest camera on the outside. He throws his hands
into the Self High Five to the camera so that his face is framed by the gap in
the middle of his hands. Grinnin, he mouths the word
"Bang!" into the camera before turning and settling back into the
corner to another cheer from the fans as he waits for the start of the match. Matty Stone and Scarlett Pearson go over to his corner.
Sharper: “David Helms has
managed to power through and remind everyone that he’s going to be leaving on
top. He plans to retire later this year when he hits thirty-five. He’s had a
rough few months, but he’s got a hell of a moment here.”
Knots: “Yeah. Went through Andrew Raynes, Matt Auclair, Jake Starr, Kelcey
Wallace and Syren. One more.
Still won’t help Regan Street get a World Title shot.”
Sharper: “Well, I don’t think
he’s worried about that. That’s Silas’ issue.”
The opening rifts of ‘Awake
and Alive’ by Skillet hits over the PA system and Shaun Cruze
confidently walks from the back,. He looks left and
right and the fans as the crowd cheers him. He simple shakes his head and grins
before walking down the ramp way
I'm at war with the world
And they try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slipping from your arms
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
As he reaches the ring he nips up to the apron. He enters the ring and then
goes over to the corner. He climbs up to the top rope and looks around, posing.
He nods as the crowd cheers him.
I'm at war with the world
'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
Shaun nips down from his perch before bouncing off the ropes a couple of times,
stretching out his neck.
Sharper: “Shaun Cruze will retire after this match. Win or lose. This is
it. He’s got a back injury. Managed to get cleared for this
tournament. He’s got surgery scheduled in a few weeks. A hell of a ride,
but he’s hoping to end it off well.”
Knots: “Everyone has gone
after his back though. Everyone. Craig
Thomas, Alex Young, CHBK, Ravyn Taylor and even
though she was screwed, Kennedy Street!”
Sharper: “She wasn’t. Shaun Cruze just stepped up to the challenge.”
Cruze looks at Helms. Helms and Cruze walk up to one another as the referee delivers his
final words to both. Helms nods. Cruze
does too. They shake hands before the bell sounds. They then back up and get
their hands up as the crowd cheer.
Sharper: “A sign of respect.
Here we go.”
Knots: “Last time we’ll see
this one.”
Cruze and Helms circle the ring and
then lunge at one another, locking in a collar and elbow tie-up in the middle
of the ring. Helms quickly turns and moves into a side
headlock. Helms pulls back. Cruze
pulls Helms over to the ropes. Cruze fires him off.

this around on Cruze, but Cruze
I think realizes a need to be more tactically aggressive.”
Knots: “He’s trying to make
sure Helms can’t go for the back. Helms said he’s going to just wrestle his
match, but still, at the end of the day, you can’t leave a target like that
ignored.”
Cruze knees him again and pulls him
