“Supreme Championship Wrestling...”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 


 

MAIN SHOW:

 

 

“Words as Weapons” by Seether plays as we see a shot of the Rise to Greatness opening pyro from last year’s show. We then see a shot of Syren sitting on the top turnbuckle before showing Angelica Jones smiling as she leaves the ring.

 

All I really want is something beautiful to say

All I really want is something beautiful to say

 

We then see a shot of Shaun Cruze standing in the ring as his pyro goes off. We then see a shot of 4Saken walking out to the ring and then a shot of Merrick Wiseman hitting Ravyn Taylor with the Superman punch. We then see a shot of CHBK pointing at Mikaela Street and then a shot of A$AP Scrappy dropping Pat Evans with the Koke Wave. A shot of Katie Steward driving Kennedy Street face first into the mat is shown before we see a shot of Kelcey Wallace posing on the stage.

 

Keep me locked up in your broken mind
I keep searching, never been able to find a light behind your dead eyes
Not anything at all
You keep living in your own lie
Ever deceitful & ever unfaithful
Keep me guessing, keep me terrified
Take everything from my world

 

A shot of Simon Lyman and Tommy Valentine are shown in the ring before showing Brittany Lohan getting thrown off the stage through a table. We then see a shot of Red Rayne smiling and then showing Ryan Watson attacking Lucas Knight from behind.


I say can you help me right before the fall?
Take what you can and leave me to the wolves.

 

A shot of Matt Auclair holding the Underground Championship before showing Jake Starr smiling as he stands between Kelcey Wallace and Shaun Cruze with his hand outstretched ends the intro before the Rise to Greatness Pre-Show logo comes up on the screen. We then see a shot of the SCW Fanfest with fans walking around the arena. We see the camera pan around before showing the arena portion, covered in curtains.

 

Dawson: “Welcome to the American Airlines Arena here in Miami. SCW Fanfest in full force here as fans from all over the world come to meet their favourite wrestlers and today, see some wrestling.”

 

The camera angle changes to go to the large table that has been set up in one area of the arena. Fans are behind the structure holding a couple of television screens. At this point, only Jim Dawson is at the table.

 

Dawson: “Hello again everyone, Jim Dawson here and welcome to Rise to Greatness weekend. It’s an honour to be here tonight. A lot of great fans have been coming through here, looking at exhibits and meeting their favourite wrestlers. But tonight, a number of big matches for you as part of the Fanfest experience. We’re going to see ten individuals challenge for an Adrenaline Championship shot. But that’s not all.

 

The logo for the show comes up before we see a shot of Havoc Warrior Exodus and Tristan Bates.

 

Dawson: “Havoc Warrior Exodus will face off against Tristan Bates. Finally, one on one, they’ll go at it and we’ll see whether Exodus can humble the newcomer Tristan Bates. But that’s not all.”

 

The logo comes up again before we see a shot of Dylan Cent and then a shot of Thomas Watson.

 

Dawson: “The former Adrenaline Champion. He’ll be in action against the man that nearly became the champion two weeks ago. Dylan Cent and Thomas Watson will finally go one on one tonight.”

 

The logo comes up again before we then see a shot of the Howells, Dylan and Jessica before showing Liberation, Aaron D’Aubergine and Brayden Walker.

 

Dawson: “And our main event tonight, a tag team match that started as a friendly challenge by Liberation looking to help the Howells out. It’s not that friendly anymore after how the Howells attacked Liberation late in Breakdown this past Wednesday. A lot more to come here tonight beyond that, but now, let’s go to our arena here at Fanfest, where Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters are at ringside. Gentlemen?”


We open up to the ringside area to see Adam Sharper seated with Shawn Winters. The crowd in the smaller than usual setting is loud and cheering.

 

Sharper: “Welcome here to ringside. Thank you Jim. I’m Adam Sharper alongside Shawn Winters here tonight. Big night tonight for some people. Tonight is when they can make their Rise to Greatness moments.”

 

Winters: “Not just that, but think of the pride some of these people will have tonight. Liberation may be looking to send a message to the Howells. The Howells want to win, they’ll clash tonight. Someone is also walking away with an Adrenaline Championship shot.”

 

Sharper: “Not just that, but Dylan Cent and Thomas Watson will finally go at it one on one and Havoc Warrior Exodus will face off against Tristan Bates. Both those men will make their Rise to Greatness weekend debuts.”

 

Winters: “And one of them is looking to get that first Rise to Greatness win.”

 

Wolfsbane” Adam Brock vs. Ethan Hunt vs. Ian “Kyojin” Keith vs. Ransom

 

“Watching sand fall...
And listening for the knock
Upon my door (Listen)
And waiting...
For Promised Land”

FWOOSH!!! A series of red, gold and silver fireworks go off at the top of the ramp in a shimmering cascade. A roaming spotlight seeks to penetrate the darkness and find something... Or, perhaps, SOMEONE. A momentary silence, then...

POW!

Four blue fireworks go off and engulf the stage in their light. And as they die away, the darkness falls once more. But it’s not complete... The roaming spotlight catches glimpses of movement, but it’s too indistinct.

“Standing deep in life
My ring of brass
Lay rusting on the floor
Is this all?
Cause it’s not
What I expected!”

BAM!

White-hot green fireworks go off now and this time the spotlight DOES catch someone. Standing there amid the ghastly green glow is the one and only “Wolfsbane” Adam Brock! The fans erupt in a cavalcade of screaming and applause that seems to catch him off guard, but only for a second. He grins wickedly and makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans and pausing to hug a little boy. One overenthusiastic fan grabs him around the neck in a big hug and he makes a big deal out of it, letting one leg go forward in a comical display of being snared. Then he turns around and gives her a huge hug in return before she lets him go. Some of the fans are laughing now... The twinkle in his eye tells them he did that on purpose! He grins and jogs up the ring steps before grabbing the top rope and catapulting over it to stand in the middle of the ring. Once his feet make contact, the cleverly disguised pyro containers secured to the ringposts go off and send showers of purple confetti fireworks all over the crowd. It showers down over him as he turns a slow circle in the ring, basking in the cheers of the adoring fans. When the last of the confetti touches down, Adam does one final turn to face the ramp, hands resting on his legs above his knees.

 

Sharper: “Adam Brock unsuccessful in his debut on Breakdown a couple of weeks ago. That pressure may pale in comparison to tonight. Tonight, people are watching for other reasons.”

 

Winters: “Yeah. This may not be in Marlins Park, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a big stage. A lot of fans here at Fanfest. You can see them packed in here. It’s however the feeling in the air. It’s just bigger.”

 

The lights go out in the arena as “The Wolf” by Fever Ray's intro begins to play. After the intro finishes and the vocals begin to play, Ethan Hunt walks down the entrance slowly. Ethan grins as the fans boo and jeer at him. Ethan enters the ring cockily and climbs to the top rope. Ethan at the top rope stairs blankly at the fans that are booing him. Before he jumps off of the top rope he snickers inciting the fans too boo him louder. Ethan stays in his corner and waits for his other opponents to come down to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Ethan Hunt looking to also move past an unsuccessful debut a couple of weeks ago.”

 

Winters: “That probably would be helped if he wasn’t just cocky as hell. Look. I get it if you’re good, say like me, but come on kid. You’ve done nothing here.”

 

Upbeat country chords gradually overcome static, and fill the arena through the PA system.

I’m gonna kill you!
Simply gonna kill you!
And bury you in a box about half your size!


Suddenly, Wynn Stewart’s “I’m Gonna Kill You” dies out and is replaced by the uncomfortable sounds of chains rattling. The ‘Tron suddenly comes to life with the image of a young woman, drenched in sweat, breathing heavily. She checks around the corner and quickly jerks her head back to a forward position. Fighting tears, she utters the words…

We’re all gonna die!

The Arctic Monkey's "Do I Wanna Know" hits the PA. From behind the curtain, Ian Keith walks out in his wrestling trunks, sporting a black hoodie with a black towel that covers his face. He makes his way towards the ring to a mild pop, which he shrugs off. When he gets to the apron, he leaps up and grabs the top rope, steps between the ropes, and enters the ring. He removes his hood and towel and looks around the arena. He tosses his entrance gear into the crowd and cracks his neck, smiling as he rests against the corner. “Do I Wanna Know” dies out.

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, this is someone that has done something and something impressive. He took on a returning star, Lil Knoxville and quickly ended those comeback hopes.”

 

Winters: “And hey, he’s the X-factor here. He’s clearly got some skill. What can he do with it here in this type of match? One fall to a finish. Four guys. Let’s see this.”

 

The opening chords to "Zero" flood the arena. Ransom appears at the top of the stage with his feet shoulder width apart and arms outstretched at his sides. Once the lyrics begin Ransom walks to the ring, disgusted by the negativity of the fans. After arriving at ringside, Ransom slides under the ropes then glares at the referee and his opponents. Then he silently goes and sits down in his corner waiting for the fight to start.

 

Sharper: “And Ransom is coming off a win against Adam Brock. He managed to get over that hurdle. Tonight, he hopes to continue it.”

 

Winters: “Again, this is the night to show up. This is the night to come through. A lot of people here in this match, four of em, looking for that one big win.”

 

The bell sounds and Ransom turns and runs at Brock and nails him with a hard right. Keith turns and Hunt kicks him in the ribs and nails him with a hard right before throwing him face first into the corner. The crowd roars as Keith turns and Hunt kicks him in the ribs and then again before Ransom throws Brock down with a snapmare. He then stomps him in the face and goes for an early pin attempt.

He turns and Brock jumps to the middle rope and dives back for a back elbow, but Keith catches him. He then throws him back and folds him up with a back suplex.

 

Sharper: “Keith caught Brock! Back elbow countered into a fold-up back suplex.”

 

Winters: “Brock just found out how his ring boots taste from that one.”

 

The crowd ohs as Brock rolls over. Keith grabs him and goes to roll him back, but Ransom grabs him and lifts him up and hits a forearm shiver. He hits another. Keith falls to the ropes. Ransom pushes him against the ropes and goes to whip him across. Keith hits the ropes, but Hunt grabs him and pulls him out to the floor via the legs. Keith lands on his feet and Hunt steps back and goes to nail him with a hard right. Keith blocks it and kicks him in the ribs. He turns and shoves him to the barricade. Keith turns back to the ring and Ransom runs at the ropes and hits a baseball slide. Keith staggers back and Hunt then drops him with a spear on the floor. The crowd ohs.

 

Sharper: “Spear on the floor. No forgiveness with the concrete here.”

 

Winters: “That’s why it’s concrete. That and it doesn’t have feelings.”

 

Sharper: “Hunt taking that opening and Brock starting to get back up as Ransom has the ring under his control here.”

 

Hunt grimaces and gets up as Ransom walks over to Brock. Brock however elbows him in the jaw. He then turns and dropkicks him in the jaw. Ransom stumbles back and to the ropes. He starts to get up and Brock runs over and clotheslines Ransom up and over the top rope and Brock goes over with him. Hunt walks over and nails Brock in the ribs. He nails him again before then hammering away on Brock’s ribs while he’s seated on the ring apron. Brock covers up as Ransom gets up on the floor. Keith rolls over and Hunt stops going after Brock and grabs Ransom. He kicks him in the ribs and spins him around and throws him shoulder first into the steel steps. The crowd ohs and Ransom falls over. Brock gets up and Hunt turns back to him and Brock hits a straight kick to the head. The crowd ohs and Hunt falls back to the mats.

 

Sharper: “What a kick!”

 

Winters: “That’s a way to keep a man down.”

 

Sharper: “No way to even block that. Watch this…”

Winters: “Why not? Go from the top. Risk it all!”

 

Sharper: “Took two of his opponents down too.”

Keith gets up and Hunt runs over and clotheslines him up and over the top rope. We then hear a scream and some yelling from the crowd. The camera goes to a wide shot to show part of the crowd turning around and watching something else as we see a couple of security guards start to head through the crowd towards whatever is behind some of the backdrop curtains.

 

Sharper: “Clothesline sends Keith to the floor!”

 

Winters: “Something is going on outside of our little arena here inside the American Airlines Arena. Hunt is even watching.”

 

Sharper: “SCW FanFest is going on while this show is happening. Something going on…and look out!”

The crowd roars and Ransom rolls off of Hunt. The bell sounds and “Zero” starts to play. Ransom slowly gets up. The referee raises his arm and he just slowly pulls it away. He looks around as Brock gets up in the entrance way and look at the ring, wincing in pain. Keith leans against the announce table.

 

Sharper: “That spike DDT. Another victim. Ransom hits it with more impact than anyone I’ve seen.”

 

Winters: “Whatever that distraction was, he took advantage. He got the win. And he’s in the record books with the first win here on Rise to Greatness weekend.”

 

Ransom slowly goes to the ropes and steps through them. He drops down to the floor. He then starts to make his way to the ring. We then cut to a  shot of the scene on the other side of some of the curtains, showing some of the autograph booths, seeing fans being moved away.

 

Sharper: “There you see outside of our arena area here. That’s the autograph area.”

 

Winters: “Maybe a fan got a bit too giddy. You know, SCW fans like to drink and put them around some of our wrestlers, they may do something stupid.”

 

Sharper: “Well, hopefully everyone alright. A bit of a surprise there. As Ransom exits, let’s take a look back at that distraction…”

 

REPLAY:

The camera goes to a wide shot to show part of the crowd turning around and watching something else as we see a couple of security guards start to head through the crowd towards whatever is behind some of the backdrop curtains.

 

Sharper: “Nothing that we can tell there. Obviously, security running to whatever was happening.”

 

Winters: “Some of the fans knew something was going on.”

 

Sharper: “And in any case, it led to this…The Downfall of Society.”

 

Winters: “Great name if a fan did try something stupid.”

The scene fades to black.

Fury vs. Finnegan Piper

 

The steady build up from the guitar chords of Papa Roachs track "Burn" begins to play through the speakers, as the big screen shows the man about to appear. The reaction is loud, many of them waiting with anticipation to see what Fury is going to bring to the fray tonight.

"I didn't know, you were a fake,
Every lie straight to my face,
So blind, I could not see,
right behind my back you stabbed me"

The lights converge around the curtained off area behind the SCW staging, slowly it is pulled aside as Fury appears for the first time, a hooded jacket covering his body, his head tilted toward the ground so his face is darkened away from the lights and the fans. Silently, he stands atop the ramp and just waits patiently, his body rocking to the sound of his music.

"Should've known you were a bitch,
Shut up, you're making me sick,
Little man, you're nothing like me,
Lying, cheating, so deceiving"

I trusted you, broke me down,
And you screwed me over,
Don't try to deny it,
I'll be ignited...
...When I get to watch you BURN! BURN!"

As the chorus erupts through the arena, Fury throws his hood back showing his gritty, angry face. He says little, but stands alone, his eyes scanning the crowd and all of his surroundings, he cracks his neck one side and then the other before extending his arms out to his side and closing his eyes as he listens to the fans reaction, he then paces slowly down the ramp, turning full circle as he tries to take everything in, he then looks back toward the ring and just glares at it angrily.

"I wanna watch you Burnnnn
You're gonna get what you deserve
I wanna watch you Burn"

The chorus dies down as Fury just steps up onto the apron, he stares into the ring for a moment longer and then slowly climbs in, he turns to the hard camera and just steps onto the middle rope for a moment before once again looking to the skies, his arms extended out to his sides. He jumps back down then and awaits the start of his match as the music dies down.

 

Sharper: “This match should be interesting only because of the similar personalities of both men.”

 

Winters: “Not wrestling styles. They’re very different there.”

 

Sharper: “That’s putting it mildly. Fury loves to ground his opponents. Piper likes to strike. But both, they show up, they compete, they leave. They get it done.”

 

The slow, ominous chords of ‘Prayer’ by Hayley Westenra start to fill the arena. The SCW fans quiet down as the lights slowly dim as a few white lights remain. While the song begins, the lights pick up a hooded man walking through the audience. He does not shake hands or high five them. He just walks on a mission, hopping the retaining wall. The security guards converge on him until he looks up slowly to them and removes his hood, the camera picking up the face of Finnegan Piper. The guards step away from him as he watches, his eyes intense. When they are far enough away, Piper looks to the ring, walking up the stairs, taking off his coat and hoodie, leaving them on the stairs. The camera picks up the demon face tattoo on his back, even in the darkness. The white lights, meanwhile continue to circle the arena as Piper makes his way to the middle of the ring, the lights suddenly converging on him as he stops. He holds up his hands symbolizing the crown that awaits his opponent as the music dies down.

 

Sharper: “Both men are undefeated thus far in SCW. Both men have been impressive.”

 

Winters: “And just think…in a year, what can these two do and it can all start here in this one match.”

 

The bell sounds and Fury and Piper just watch one another for a moment before Piper stretches out a bit. He walks out from the ropes and Fury extends his arms, looking to get the reach on Piper. Fury then lunges and Piper jumps over Fury’s arms and runs into the ropes. Fury turns and goes for a palm strike, but Piper rolls underneath. He gets up and Fury turns and Piper hits a back kick to the ribs. He then nails Fury with a hard right and runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for a clothesline. Fury ducks, grabs Piper and spins around him. He then goes to lift him up, but Piper reaches for the ropes, grabs them before then jumping up and pushing back off the ropes. Fury tries to go with it, but Piper backflips out of the German suplex attempt. Fury rolls over and gets up and Piper jumps up and hits a dropsault. Piper goes to his knees and Fury rolls out of the ring. He then turns and looks out at the crowd and recomposes himself before turning back to the ring.(1)

 

Sharper: “Piper’s quickness being the difference here.”

 

Winters: “Not just that, but ingenuity. He’s forcing Fury to react. He’s forcing Fury to think quick and end up playing right into Piper’s agility.”

 

Sharper: “And Fury, standing on the floor. He’s just looking up at the ring. Taking his time now.”

 

Fury continues to watch Piper as Piper stands back and watches Fury. (2) Fury walks over to the ring and pulls himself onto the apron. He then enters the ring and Piper runs over and kicks Fury in the ribs. He nails him with a hard right and then another. Fury falls to the corner. Piper grabs him and goes to whip him across the ring, but Fury stops and pulls him in. Piper ducks a back elbow. He however keeps running and jumps up to the top rope. He then jumps back, turning int the air and Fury steps to the side and catches him with a knee as he comes down. Piper falls to his knees in pain.

 

Sharper: “And Piper overdid that. Fury waited for him!”

 

Winters: “Knee to the ribs. That’s going to leave a mark.”

 

Piper starts to get up and Fury grabs him by the arm and forces him to the mat. Piper however quickly moves his legs and Fury tries to get the facelock, but Piper gets to the ropes. The referee calls for the break.

Fury lets go and rolls away. Piper starts to get up. He then turns and Fury just blasts him with a hard right, knocking him down. Piper hits the mat and starts to get up and Fury nails him with a hard right to the ribs before he grabs the arm of Piper and wrenches it. Piper winces in pain. He then flips forward and nips up, but before he can fully counter, Fury lets go, drops down and hits a quick leg sweep, knocking Piper back down.

 

Sharper: “Some quickness by Fury there.”

 

Winters: “And doing it in a way that Piper doesn’t expect. He went for the arm. He’s got Piper thinking about the arm. Then he just takes him down with that leg sweep.”

 

Piper rolls over and gets up and Fury clubs him in the back. He clubs him again. He then lifts him up and pushes him to the ropes. He turns and fires him across. He bounces off and Fury runs at him and drills him with a double axe handle like shot, knocking Piper down. He then goes for the pin.

Fury falls to his hand and knees and then the to the mat. Fury stirs as Piper gets up. Fury turns to him and Piper hits a basement dropkick, knocking him back down.

 

Sharper: “Big dropkick. Piper getting a chance to do what he does best and that’s come from different angles and hard.”

 

Winters: “That’s why this is just a weird one. Someone who is very technical and straight up. Piper is anything but straight up. You need to be looking around and wondering where the hell he’s coming from.”

 

Fury rolls over, but Piper rolls him back and hooks the leg.

Both get up and Piper quickly jumps up and hits a roundhouse kick to the head. Fury turns and Piper grabs him, finishing off the Formula HJ7. The crowd ohs.

 

Winters: “I hope Fury wasn’t hoping of remembering the match. Two hard shots to the head!”

 

Sharper: “Roundhouse kick. Reverse DDT. Formula HJ7 completed. There’s the pin!”

 

Piper then hooks the leg for the pin.

Fury gets his shoulder up. Piper rolls off and then gets up and hits a jumping senton backsplash. He rolls over and then turns and grabs the turnbuckle.

Piper shoves him off. Fury then gets up and kicks him in the back and then again and again. Piper rolls over in pain.

 

Sharper: “Just a series of kick to the back. Piper trying to cover up.”

 

Winters: “More people should do that. You never know. One errant kick to the head and this match ends in four seconds instead of forty!”

 

Piper turns and Fury grabs him and lifts him up. He then knees him in the ribs before rearing back and drilling him again with a vicious knee. This brings Piper down to his knees. Fury then grabs him and pulls him between his legs. He then hoists him up for the Alpha Powerbomb, but Piper counters into a sunset flip.

Fury kicks out. Both roll back. Piper then hits a jumping enziguri. Fury falls to a knee.

Piper kicks out just after the three and Fury falls over to the side. The referee turns and calls for the bell.

 

Sharper: “Fury did it! He caught Piper and got him down!”

 

Winters: “Piper used that agility. Fury caught him and got him!”

 

Sharper: “No submission. No flashy move. But a simple counter and a big win for Fury. Piper has been defeated!”

 

Piper looks shocked as Fury then rolls out of the ring. Piper then looks down, slowly trying to come to terms with the loss. Fury however just walks around the ring. He then stretches out his arm before then going to the rampway and continuing on his way to the back as if it was business as usual. Piper slowly gets up and watches Fury leave as the scene fades to black.


COMMERCIAL:


We open up at ringside to see Adam Sharper and Shawn Winters at the announce table.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back here to Miami and SCW Fanfest, Rise to Greatness weekend here. And earlier tonight, we had an interesting situation.”

 

Winters: “Well yeah, let’s go back to this. You’ll see that there’s a roar from the crowd and Ethan Hunt gets distracted by this.”

 

REPLAY – EARLIER TONIGHT:

Keith gets up and Hunt runs over and clotheslines him up and over the top rope. We then hear a scream and some yelling from the crowd. The camera goes to a wide shot to show part of the crowd turning around and watching something else as we see a couple of security guards start to head through the crowd towards whatever is behind some of the backdrop curtains.

 

Winters: “That cost Hunt the loss and Ransom the win, but there was apparently a lot more going on.”

 

Sharper: “We found out that originally, we heard a fan had attacked Gable Winchester. But it wasn’t a fan. It was Ravyn Taylor dressed in disguise. There was a lot of talk about how quiet she had been. But the fact is that she clearly had something planned.”

 

Winters: “We didn’t have cameras, but a few times we’ve heard over the announcement speakers here that they’re looking for footage, so we may have some later tonight.”

 

Sharper: “Indeed, and remember folks, after we’re done here for this special presentation, the SCW Hall of Fame induction special, Class of 2014, that will take place right after this.”


Dylan Cent vs. Thomas Watson

 

“Ladies and Gentleman” by Saliva hits over the P.A System causing the crowd to buzz, all eyes focus onto the entrance as Dylan Cent walks out with a confidence about him. Crystal Ward walks out with him. Cent looks out towards the crowd and smirks a little with a nod before looking down at the ring and heading to it. He enters inside as Crystal Ward walks around the ring and over Cent’s corner as the music fades out.

 

Sharper: “This match had the potential to be for the Adrenaline Championship. That not the case as Dylan Cent was unable to dethrone Selena Frost. But this match has enough going into it regardless.”

 

Winters: “They don’t like each other and Thomas Watson has had a lot of fun knocking Dylan Cent down and trying to keep him down.”

 

The arena lights cut completely as a white spot light begins to circle the audience. A long, drawn out wolf's howl echoes around the arena as words then scrawl across the Jumbotron

I BRING SUFFERING

I BRING AGONY

I BRING MISERY

I BRING PURITY!

A video plays on the screen that looks like amateur camcorder footage, showing someone running down a long corridor, heavy breathing can be heard as the person stops in front of a door with "Thomas Watson, Simcoe". The person pushes the door open and lets out a cry of shock as they say a ragged hole where the window was, and the camcorder pans down to see a crumpled up Strait Jacket on the floor. The screen now goes black and then “Asylum” hits in the arena as the lights go out for a few seconds. As soon as the vocals kick in, three spotlights start scanning around the arena before focussing on what can now be seen to be the top of the ramp. A figure emerge from the back, wearing a sleeveless dark blue trench-coat. The spotlights can now be seen to illuminate Thomas Watson. He stands looking out at the masses, an arrogant smirk on his face. As soon as the song hit’s the chorus, Thomas starts to walk down to the ring, he gazes out with mild interest at the crowds who by this point are booing him. Just to aggravate the crowds and get cheap heat, he holds out his hand to members of the audience as if to slap palms but then moves it back and sneers as he continues to the ring.

Watson continues to showboat his way down the walkway to the disdain of the crowds, revelling in their reaction to him before sliding into the ring. Watson then jumps onto the nearest turnbuckle, hitting his chest with his closed fist and gesturing for the crowds to cheer him, to which they do the opposite as he smirks at the reaction he has incited. After going to the opposite turnbuckle and playing to the crowds distaste for him, he stands in the middle of the ring waiting for the start of the match.

 

Sharper: “Thomas Watson, the former Adrenaline Champion, the Paragon of Purity.”

 

Winters: “And he’s got one thing on his mind: make Dylan Cent tap.”

 

Sharper: “And Dylan Cent may be thinking the same for Watson. As we said, this has become personal. Thomas Watson just not liking Dylan Cent and the feeling is mutual.”

 

The bell sounds and Thomas Watson walks out of the corner and turns towards Cent and Cent just blasts him with a hard forearm. The crowd roars. Watson hits the mat and gets up and falls to the corner. Cent walks after him and nails him with a hard right and then chops him in the chest. The crowd woos. Cent chops Thomas again and the crowd woos some more. Cent then nails him with a hard right and Thomas walks along the ropes and over to the next corner. Cent walks after him and nails him with another hard right. Thomas nearly falls back into the corner. Cent grabs him and whips him across the ring. Thomas bounces off the opposite corner and Cent steps forward and catches Thomas, back dropping him down. Thomas rolls over and starts to get up. Cent just watches him and runs at him and clotheslines him up and over the top rope. Thomas falls to the floor.

 

Sharper: “Up and over. Cent not holding back at all!”

 

Winters: “He came to fight. Thomas doesn’t know where he is.”

 

Sharper: “And if this was the Adrenaline Showcase battle royal, Thomas  would be eliminated!”

 

Thomas rolls over and winces as he starts to get up. He backs up to the entrance way and turns back to the ring and Cent runs towards the ropes and dives over them, landing onto Thomas with a plancha. The crowd roars in the makeshift arena. Thomas hits the floor as Cent rolls through and to his side.

 

Sharper: “Cent takes flight here in Miami! He lands on Thomas Watson and early in this match, Dylan Cent firmly in control!”

 

Winters: “In control? He may have the win. Cent didn’t even hesitate. He went for it and Thomas Watson wasn’t expecting that for one second!”

 

Cent slowly gets up as the crowd even chants for him. He smiles a bit before grabbing Thomas and lifting him up and rolling him into the ring. Cent hops onto the apron and enters the ring as Thomas stirs and Cent runs over and clotheslines him down. He goes for the pin.

Cent walks over and grabs Thomas and Thomas suddenly elbows him in the face. Cent staggers back. Thomas elbows him again and Cent staggers back some more before Thomas turns and hits a jumping dropkick, knocking Cent down.

 

Sharper: “Big dropkick. Cent falls down and Thomas gets the first real offense he’s had all match.”

 

Winters: “You think that Dylan Cent didn’t want to send a message here. Come on Thomas. Buckle up and get this going here.”

 

Cent starts to get up and Thomas grabs him by his arm and clubs him in the back. He then wrenches Cent’s arm and jerks on it. Cent winces and Thomas then forces him down to the mat, tripping Cent’s leg and then jumps up and knees Cent in the arm. He gets up and hits him with a knee again. Cent pulls his arm away. He rolls over and Cent grabs his arm and drags himself up and Thomas nails him with a hard right. Cent falls back to the ropes. Thomas then grabs him and whips him across.

Cent kicks out. He then starts to get up and Thomas blasts him with a forearm before getting up.

Winters: “Going after the arm, but he’ll take the pin. And if you kick out, bam! Right in the face.”

 

Thomas then stomps Cent in the face. Cent rolls over and Thomas grabs him and lifts him back to his feet. He then wrenches the arm again and pushes him into the ropes before whipping him across.

He drops down and turns before grabbing Cent by the arm and hitting an armbreaker DDT. Cent rolls over in pain. Thomas however turns and grabs him, locks in a hammerlock before hoisting Cent up and hitting a hammerlock back suplex. The crowd ohs as Cent yells in pain and Crystal looks on with concern.

 

Sharper: “Crystal Ward, Dylan Cent’s manager, looking on as Thomas Watson continues to focus on that arm.”

 

Winters: “You know why he’s doing that. He’s thinking about that Misery hold. That same hold he locked Cent in two months ago while Ryan kicked away at him.”

 

Sharper: “And no doubt Crystal Ward may be thinking about that now.”

 

Thomas turns and grabs Cent as he stirs and pulls on the arm. He then drops down and locks in a fujiwara arm bar. The crowd boos as Cent yells out. He starts to slowly drag himself over to the ropes as Thomas keeps holding on. Cent keeps dragging and gets to the ropes as the referee calls for the break.

The crowd roars as Thomas rolls over, yelling in pain, holding his back.

 

Sharper: “And Cent! He gets the opening he needs.”

 

Winters: “Got what he needed so he can shake out that arm. Try to do something to curb that pain.”

 

Sharper: “Watson’s back, meanwhile, is in a bad way from that.”

 

Cent watches as Thomas as he gets up and grabs him and hits a DDT. Cent rolls over. He then walks over to the corner, exits to the apron and starts to climb up to the top rope.

The crowd ohs and Cent rolls over to his back and then to his side, holding his arm and shoulder in pain.

 

Sharper: “From the top! Cent’s arm! He had his arm!”

 

Winters: “And that’s exactly what Thomas wanted. Cent gave him a chance and Thomas may have just made sure that arm is in nothing but pain! And look!”

 

Sharper: “And Thomas goes for the Misery!”

 

Thomas turns and comes up behind Cent, pushes him onto his stomach and grabs his arms before flipping through and into the Misery. Cent yells in pain and Crystal looks on. Thomas keeps the hold on and Cent tries to kick his feet, but is nowhere near close enough to the ropes. The referee checks on him and Cent yells out as Thomas keeps the hold on. Thomas continues to hold, clasping his hands tighter. Cent continues to fight and Crystal looks on, clearly concerned as Cent just shakes his head no, gritting his teeth. Thomas continues to hold on for a few moments longer before Cent then shakes his hand and the referee calls for the bell. The crowd boos and Thomas holds on still. Crystal slides into the ring and the referee turns to Thomas and tells him to let go. Crystal pushes on him and Thomas lets go and rolls off. He then gets up and threatens to hit Crystal. She falls back as Thomas just smirks and backs up. The official raises his arm.

 

Sharper: “Come on Thomas!”

 

Winters: “He’s just on a high now. He got the tap out. He got the win.”

 

Sharper: “Dylan Cent tried to hold on. He tried to gut it out, but Thomas had him locked in perfectly. But come on Thomas…you won the match…you didn’t need to do the post-match crap!”

 

Thomas just smiles as Crystal checks on Cent as Cent rolls over to his back, clutching both his arms. The referee watches Thomas as Thomas then exits the ring. He drops down and the official checks on Cent. Thomas heads towards the back, smiling proudly. In the ring, Cent writhes in pain as Crystal Ward and the official check on him.

 

Sharper: “Well as Thomas Watson gets checked out here, let’s go out to the floor here at Fanfest where Marisa Condolesa is standing by with David Helms. Marisa?”


The scene changes as we cut out to the floor and see David Helms seated at his autograph booth. A fan comes up and Helms greets them before Marisa Condolesa comes over near him.

 

Condolesa: “Thank you Adam. I’m here with David, and I won’t take up too much of your time, as you’re busy signing autographs.”

 

Helms: “Don’t want to open myself up to a sneak attack.”

 

Condolesa: “Yeah…an interesting situation there.”

 

Helms: “Hopefully Gable Winchester is good to go.”

 

Condolesa: “We hope to have an update soon enough. But as for yourself, you and Mason have been at each other’s throats for weeks. Tomorrow you get your hands on him.”

 

Helms signs something in front of him before greeting the next person.

 

Helms: “Yeah, about Billy. The fact is that he’s looking to make a name for himself and in the process of doing so, he wanted to then make this personal, just because. It’s probably the only way he can get really fired up. I don’t know.”

 

Helms then signs the item before turning to Condolesa.

 

Helms: “But if he thinks that because he took out Matty Stone, who will be back tomorrow by my side, he’s got the advantage, he’s horribly mistaken. He also wants to put himself in position to be the first man on the list of possible World Title challengers. Well, William…after what you’ve pulled, I almost wish it was a hardcore match. It’s not, so you can calm down there…but that just means I’m going to derail your title hopes instead. Bang!”

 

Helms turns back to the line of fans as another comes up. He shakes their hand and Marisa Condolesa moves away from him.

 

Condolesa: “There you have it. David Helms focused and tomorrow night, at Rise to Greatness, he’ll face off against William Mason. Adam?”

 

Sharper: “Thank you Marisa.”

 

We then see a wide shot of the arena again.

 

Sharper: “More to come from our preview show here. More wrestling action. And more comments from various members of the SCW roster. We’ll be back with more after this!”

 

The scene fades to black.


COMMERCIAL:


We open up back in the American Airlines Arena to see the wide shot of the arena and seeing fans walking around SCW fanfest. We then hear the voice of Jessica Winters.

 

Jessica: “Welcome back to SCW Fanfest and I am here with Silas Mason and Silas, tomorrow night, you have a big night for Silas’ World. The Hollow are challenging for the World Tag Team Championship. Angelica Jones looks to defeat both Stacy Kissinger and Chris Cannon. And of course, Kelcey Wallace challenges for the World Championship.”

 

Silas: “And she’ll win it. See, my babygirl, she’s already back at the hotel. She’s relaxin’. These peons have had enough of her. The next time they’ll see her is when she’ll win the World Championship and show the world WHY I have such high hopes for her. She IS the Champion and that will happen regardless tomorrow. As for the other matches, they’re extra sizzle….although, the Hollow have a clear role, a clear goal.”

 

Jessica: “Becoming the Tag Team Champions?”

 

Silas just looks at Jessica and shakes her head.

 

Silas: “And that’s why yer as dumb as ya look…They’re gonna end that Requiem team. Frost and Foxx can find out that they picked the wrong fight when they went after Babygirl a couple of months ago. Hell, even Babydoll hates em. And tomorrow, they’ll be removed just to protect my Babygirl. See tomorrow, it will be Rise to Perfection, but it also will be the rise of Silas’ World. I get Kelcey back where she should be…and I get all of the influence that title represents!”

 

Jessica: “Thank you for the comments. Good luck tomorrow.”

 

Silas scoffs.

 

Jessica: “Back to ringside.”

 

We cut back to ringside.


Adrenaline Showcase Battle Royal

Winner Receives an SCW Adrenaline Championship title shot

 

"The Last Song" by 12 Stones begins to play throughout the arena as red lights begin to flash in tune with the opening beat. As the song slows down with the beginning of the lyrics, the red lights freeze in place as Ben McCaron slowly walks out into the stage, his eyes locked to the ground as he positions himself in the center before taking a moment to make sure his mask is adjusted and fitting properly so as not to be removed for the match ahead. Once the chorus begins, the lights start to flash again as McCaron suddenly throws his arms up and red pyro explodes on the sides of the stage. With a confident smirk now in place, he begins making his way down to the ring while telling the fans in both English and Spanish that this match is his for the taking. He continues to the ring as the music

 

Sharper: “Ben McCaron one of the favourites in this contest. Ten individuals, all with an opportunity. Adrenaline Championship title shot on the line.”

 

Winters: “And McCaron says he’s a star. This is where you prove it. You’re facing a lot of new faces or people looking for that one chance to prove themselves.”

 

The beat hits the PA and the words "Bowker Rocks" flash up on the screen. Jackson walks slowly out onto the ramp, claps along with the tune before making his way down the aisle to hi-5 the fans that are clapping along with the music.

 

Sharper: “Jackson Bowker, newcomer that has been getting it done in the ring. He gets his chance tonight to quickly jump to the front of the line.”

 

Toshiro slowly walks out from the waiting area while the opening rift of "This Time's For Real" By Ill Nino is played, looking out to the many screaming fans. Touching his index finger to his head as the song moves, swiftly extending said arm to point to the crowd. Continuing to the ring, he sprints now, and as the chorus begins, Kageyoshi grabs the ropes, flipping himself over the top rope, landing on his feet.

 

Sharper: “That’s a young man I want to see how he does here. He’s been surprising us for months. Doomsday, Tristan Bates, and now maybe this.”

 

"Demons" by Imagine Dragons begins to play throughout the arena as Alec Jacobs slowly walks out into the stage. He looks out at the booing fans for a moment before he throws his right fist into the air for a moment, then brings it down and puts it behind his back as he leans forward a bit and throws his left fist up now. He holds this pose for a moment before he starts slowly making his way down to the ring.

 

Winters: “He actually finally showed the ability to make the tough decision. He went for the pin. He took advantage of Stacy Kissinger getting attacked by Angelica Jones to get his first win. Now build on that kid.”

 

"DIE YOUNG AND SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!!!"

Those solemn words blast out over the PA before Brand New's 'Sic Transit Gloria' begins with its dulcit bass guitar. Wally Rosefall enters from the back wearing a purple wrestling vest and purple wrestling tights to a decent amount of applause. He stands at the center of the stage and pumps his fist a few times before making his way down the ramp.

 

Sharper: “A bit of bad luck to start his career in SCW so far, but he’s got a bright future ahead of him here.”

 

“Outsider (Secret Sessions Version” by Ian Hunter starts to play and the crowd roars a bit. Many stand up before Typhoid Mary walks out from the back and glances back as Pat Evans walks out from the back and looks down at the ring. He continues on his way to the ring.

 

Winters: “He’s the man that’s the X-factor. Mary hasn’t panned out for him yet…but that’s yet…”

 

Sharper: “What about A$AP Scrappy though?”

 

Winters: “Pat Evans will take care of that.”

 

The lights go out as "Still Ballin'" by Tupac ft. Trick Daddy hits the PA system. At the start of that first verse the Soopaman Luva walks out from backstage as the lights turn on wearing a black du-rag with a black hat turned backwards on top of it, a fresh "#1 Derrick Rose Chicago Bulls" white basketball jersey with red letters, and blue jean shirts. He then walks down still waving his hands up until he sees a random sexy looking chick in the ground and walks over and asks for her number.

 

Winters: “Focus less on getting some girl’s number and winning. Then you don’t have to ask. They’ll come to you and want to get to know you!”

 

Sharper: “Stop it…”

 

The opening guitar riff from Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’ “You Better Pray” plays over the crowd as a spotlight, already shining on Trista Foxx-Porter as she stands in the middle of the stage, widens. Axel Porter steps out from the back, standing with his back to the crowd as he throws his arms out. Trista walks around the front of him, giving him a kiss for luck before pushing his sleeveless robe off his shoulders and to the ground. Axel turns around, kicking the robe aside as he takes his wife on his arm, beginning their walk to the ring.

 

Sharper: “Trista Foxx-Porter and Axel Porter on their way to the ring. Porter has the most experience in this match.”

 

Winters: “And he’s nearly taste the title too.”

 

Alter Bridge’s “Come to Life” begins to play as the entire arena is bathed in gold lighting and the arena is transformed into a place of class and royalty. The lyrics kick in about thirty second into the song, and slowly Alex Young walks out onto the stage looking unimpressed at the fans booing him. He shrugs it off easily and starts heading towards the ring, a confident smirk forming on his lips.

 

Winters: “Now that’s class personified and not just that. This is his hometown. He’s representing!”

 

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.

A$AP Scrappy comes walking out from the back in a black wifebeater, baggy black jeans, black Lugz boots, and the black eye patch on his eye as the crowd cheers. He looks into the crowd and smiles sadistically before walking down the ramp and staring right at Typhoid Mary who stands on the opposite side of the ring. He watches her and starts to head to the ring before walking around. He starts to head around the ring before Pat Evans steps out to the apron behind him and then dives onto him, knocking him down from behind. The crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “Scrappy went after Mary. That’s the woman he wanted this weekend and Pat Evans cuts him off.”

 

Winters: “Scrappy needs to focus on getting a title shot. Not giving Mary more things she’s just screwing him over with!”

 

The group in the ring just look on as Pat Evans grabs Scrappy and turns and throws him back first into the apron. Scrappy grimaces and Pat rolls him into the ring. Pat rolls in after and the bell sounds. Young immediately goes for Rosefall as Bowker grabs Jacobs and jabs him in the jaw, knocking him to the corner. Bowker kicks him in the ribs a few times as Pat Evans gets up only for McCaron to kick him in the ribs. He tries to eliminate him, but Evans holds on. Luva is knocked down by Kageyoshi and Scrappy gets to his feet only for Porter to nail him with a hard right and then another and another.

 

Sharper: “Here we go. The referee’s just waiting for everyone to get into the ring.”

 

Winters: “Scrappy and Evans did that to themselves, but here we go!”

 

Evans takes a couple more shots from McCaron before McCaron turns away and nails Kageyoshi in the back. He falls over. Evans leans in the corner. Luva gets back up and as Porter nails Scrappy with a couple more shots. He fires Scrappy into the ropes, but Luva kicks Porter in the ribs. Young goes to whip Rosefall out of the corner, but then stops and pulls him back into the corner. Young then grabs him and starts to lift him up, but Rosefall nails him with a couple of hard rights. Bowker goes to lift Jacobs up, but Jacobs uses his strength to keep down. He clubs Bowker in the back and then again. Evans looks around as Luva grabs Porter and scoop slams him down. Scrappy then runs over and goes to go to the ropes, but Evans runs over and clubs him in the back. He spins him around and nails him with a hard right. He turns and pulls him away before scooping him up and hitting a ribbreaker. Just then, we see Rosefall dropkick Young down. Young rolls over and goes to the ropes.

Jacobs staggers back and McCaron nails him again. Bowker walks around and Rosefall then jumps up and goes for a hurricanrana, but Bowker counters with a powerbomb.

 

Sharper: “Big powerbomb by Jackson Bowker. Rosefall planted!”

 

Winters: “Just like Scrappy, but Scrappy now is trying to figure out how to break his arm to get out of that hold Evans just put on him. And that may be smart. Most people turn away from people that have someone so clearly down.”

 

Luva grabs Porter and starts to try and get him up and over. Porter struggles as Luva battles with him. Bowker looks around as McCaron continues to work on Jacobs. Evans has a variation of a Buffalo sleeper hold locked in, but Scrappy hooks the ropes and uses them to pull himself up. He nails Evans with an eye rake and then turns and swipes at Mary who stands nearby. Mary steps back and Evans turns and runs at Scrappy, but Scrappy lifts him up and back drops him over, eliminating him! The crowd cheers. Porter and Luva meanwhile continue to fight but we see Young get up and run over and grab Porter and Luva by the legs and flip both of them up and over to the floor!

 

Sharper: “Big eliminations! Evans just landed in front of Mary! And Porter and Luva out on the other side!”

 

Winters: “Porter’s out! Whoa! There’s my favourite gone!”

 

Sharper: “And Scrappy is looking right at Typhoid Mary!”

 

Mary looks at Evans as Evans then grabs at Scrappy and tries to pull him out. Scrappy nails him with a series of shots. Mary just slowly walks around the ring, clearly ignoring it. Evans stumbles back and is pulled away as Scrappy turns and watches Mary as she walks around the ring. Just then he turns and Jackson Bowker nails Scrappy right in the groin with the Dick Punch. The crowd ohs and Scrappy just falls to the mat. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Mary shakes her head and makes her exit. Trista just looks at Porter in anger and Porter gets up and grabs Luva and throws him into the ringside steps. The crowd boos. They then leave as Evans makes his exit.

 

Sharper: “Scrappy is down! Bowker with that low blow! Luva down too!”

 

Winters: “And Mary just slowly leaves.”

 

Sharper: “Three eliminations already. We need to take a break. This match continues when we return!”

 

McCaron tries to eliminate Jacobs as Young walks around the ring. Bowker nails him as Kageyoshi grabs Rosefall and starts to lift him up.

We cut away to see Marisa Condolesa back in the autograph booth area and we see her walk over to Lucas Knight.

 

Condolesa: “Lucas, can I get a few words?”

 

Lucas glances over, finishing an autograph before standing up and turning to her.

 

Lucas: “What would you like?”

 

Condolesa: “Rise to Greatness is tomorrow and you’re in action against Ryan Watson. On Breakdown, he attacked you from behind.”

 

Lucas: “Took him long enough to grow a set. See, he used to be a student of mine. I actually give a damn about what he does, but the fact is that he’s been such a disappointment lately. Throwing away title shots. Following around a skirt just cause she’s pretty. Even letting someone else get in on that too. The fact is that he needs to be reminded about what it takes to be successful in this business. And if he’s not willing to learn, I’ll happily make one of the biggest nights of his career into a disappointment. It’s the least I can do.”

 

Condolesa: “Thank you for the comments. Enjoy Fanfest.”

 

Condolesa turns away.

 

Condolesa: “Adam?”

 

The wide shot of the arena returns, showing the people going to various exhibits and events.

 

Sharper: “Thank you Marisa. Plenty more to come here at Fanfest. The Rise to Greatness preview continues after this!”

 

The scene fades to black.

We see a shot of the SCW Rise to Greatness 2014 logo up on the screen as pyro shooting across a beach is shown behind it.

 

“Rise to Greatness 2014

 

Tomorrow!”

 

The logo remains on the screen for a few more moments before fading out.


Havoc Warrior Exodus vs. Tristan Bates

 

The arena settles into a quiet darkness, broken only by the murmurs of anticipation. Synchronized green, blue and white lights pulse to the opening notes of "Prepare for Attack" by Havok. They beat continuously to the song’s tempo, blurring together when the biting guitar riff picks up speed under the main chords. A pyro effect is timed to go off as soon as the drums go into a full-throttled double kick, followed by smaller, fiery white explosions for each chord change. Meanwhile, the words “Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dog of war” flash on the screen in the same colours as the pulsing lights.

It is at this point that Exodus makes his way past the curtain and onto the ramp. He screams and extends his chest while the fire form the pyro and the cheers of the crowd explode around him. With a determined look on his face and drive behind his steps, he makes his way down towards the arena, running down the ramp. He ignores the camera and the fans during his march to the ring, not out of callousness, but because they are fleeting; his energy is channelled towards the impeding combat. With his eyes fixated on the ring, he climbs on the apron and tugs the rope twice before entering.

He immediately runs the length of the ring to the opposite turnbuckle and climbs it, raising his hands into the air and holding his head back for a moment, absorbing the cries of approval from the crowd before beating his chest and letting out another roar. He jumps down and makes his way to opposite corner and repeats this ritual, before finally heading into his own corner and pacing it, like a wild beast, while awaiting the ring of the bell.

 

Sharper: “A battle of two people who are anything but typical. Havoc Warrior Exodus has the strength. He’s got the power. He’s also a bit rough around the edges, but who cares?”

 

Winters: “Tristan may and he’s been looking forward to this one. He can finally get his hands on Exodus one on one to teach him a lesson about getting involved in his affairs.”

 

The lights go out in the arena and almost immediately a piano starts to play the opening keys to “Dark Psychotic” as Tristan Bates laugh blends in on the PA system with the music. Bates makes his way down to the rings, black trenchcoat covering his body, with a hook over his head, covering much of his face, all that is visible is the mouth and beard of Tristan Bates. Bates slowly makes his way down to the ring. Tristan doesn’t crack a smile, doesn’t look around, just focuses on the ring, as the dark music continues to play. Bates slowly climbs the stairs and into the ring and finally takes the trenchcoat off, revealing a sinister smile…

 

Sharper: “And there is Tristan Bates. Havoc Warrior Exodus does hold a victory over him. He has defeated him and that’s a key.”

 

Winters: “Yeah, yeah, but that was in a four way. This is one on one. Different ball game.”

 

Sharper: “We’ll find out right here in this contest.”

 

The bell sounds and Bates continues to smile as Exodus looks at Bates. He walks along the ropes before turning and lunging at Bates. Exodus goes for a clothesline. Bates ducks and spins around. He nails Exodus with a hard right and then another before hitting a back chop. Exodus falls to the ropes. Bates nails him again before whipping him across the ring. Exodus bounces off the ropes and Bates runs forward and goes for a clothesline, but Exodus ducks. Bates stops and turns around and Exodus goes to lift her up over his head for a military press, but Bates shifts his weight. Exodus turns to Bates and Bates headbutts Exodus. Exodus stumbles to the ropes.

 

Sharper: “Hard headbutt and Bates just has Exodus on the ropes.”

 

Winters: “He’s not going to just take you on the normal way, but when he does, it just messed with you and Exodus, who sometimes has more guts than brains, he’s finding that out now.”

 

Exodus turns back to Bates and Bates nails him with a clubbing blow to the back. He then whips Exodus across the ring. Exodus bounces off and Bates runs at him and nails him with a running back elbow. Exodus hits the mat. Bates goes for the pin.

Exodus kicks out. Exodus stirs as Bates grabs him and lifts him up and clubs him in the back. He clubs him again. He then pushes him into the corner. Bates then elbows him in the jaw. He moves forward and elbows him again. He elbows him a third time before grabbing him and going to whip him across the ring, but Exodus spins through. Bates goes into the corner, but Exodus runs right after him and sandwiches him right after impact with a clothesline. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “And there’s that explosive impact. Right across the ring and Exodus did not hesitate for a moment!”

 

Winters: “Bates didn’t even see it coming. He’s just trying to figure out where his liver is right now.”

 

Bates rolls over as he drops to the mat from the impact. Exodus grabs him and lifts him up and clubs him in the back. Bates stumbles over to the other corner and Exodus hits a swinging clothesline to the side of Bates’ head. He turns away and Exodus grabs him by the hair. His hand slips, but he grabs him again and drives him face first into the top turnbuckle. Bates stumbles back and spins around and Exodus runs out and clotheslines him down. He goes for the pin.

Bates kicks out. Exodus gets up and Bates does as well. Exodus nails him with a hard right. He nails him again. He then scoops him up and slams him down. Exodus runs into the ropes. He bounces off and goes for a jumping splash, but Bates rolls out of the way. Exodus starts to get up and Bates hits a throat thrust. Exodus turns away, holding his throat, coughing in pain.

 

Winters: “Shot to the throat. That’ll stop the grunting.”

 

Sharper: “And it stops the offense. Exodus quickly needing to retreat, if only temporarily.”

 

Bates turns and nails him with a shot to the ribs. He then pulls him out and scoops Exodus up and hits a backbreaker. Bates gets up and smiles and spins around before jumping up and hitting an elbow drop. He then leans back onto Exodus for a lax cover.

Exodus kicks out. Bates gets up and Exodus turns as Bates grabs him and elbows him in the back of the head. He then grabs him and lifts him up for a back suplex, but Exodus kicks his legs and drops back down. He then hits a back kick. He turns and runs into the ropes and bounces off and jumps up, knocking Tristan Bates down with a flying shoulder block. Bates rolls over and gets up and Exodus lifts him up and presses him over his head before just dropping him. Bates hits hard as the crowd cheers. Exodus storms over to the corner and exits to apron before climbing to the top rope. The crowd roars and Bates slowly gets up before turning to the corner and Exodus dives off and takes him down with a shoulder block from the top rope. The crowd cheers.

 

Sharper: “Exodus from the top. Bates knocked down.”

 

Winters: “Didn’t know he knew how to climb up that high?”

 

Sharper: “He can and he can put together a hell of a flurry as we’re seeing!”

 

Bates rolls over and starts to get towards the ropes. Exodus gets up and lets out a yell. The crowd cheers with him. Bates then turns around and goes for a hard right, but Exodus blocks it. He then kicks Tristan in the ribs. He hooks him up before scooping him up and turning and spiking Tristan Bates with the Exile Driver. The crowd cheers. Exodus hooks the leg.

 

Sharper “Exile Driver! He hit it! Into the cover!”

The crowd cheers and Exodus rolls off of Bates. He then leans on his knee before pulling himself up. He lets out another yell getting cheers from the crowd.

 

Winters: “Wasn’t pretty. But he got him up and dropped him.”

 

Sharper: “Tristan Bates came in with a lot of momentum, but Havoc Warrior Exodus has proven to be his kryptonite. He takes Bates down and defeats him here at SCW Fanfest!”

 

Exodus looks around the arena and throws his arms up. Tristan Bates rolls to the floor before starting to slowly make his way around the ring. Exodus continues to stand tall in the ring before we cut away.

The Howells (Dylan & Jessica Howell) vs. Liberation (Brayden Walker & Aaron D’Aubergine)

 

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. Dylan is accompanied by his wife, Jesse Howell. Jesse is wearing a black Affliction shirt with the neck line cut so it hangs off one shoulder, a black skirt with a white studded belt and knee-high black leather boots. The crowd boos them as Jessica just shakes her head. Dylan ignores them.

The two of them walk to the ring side by side. Once they arrived at ring side, Dylan heads up the stairs first and then holds the ropes open for Jesse who gives him a little show as she steps in the ring. Once both are inside, Jesse goes to the corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and poses as Dylan does the same on another corner. He slides off his coat and tosses it to the floor before jumping down. He then walks around the ring as the boos continue and his music fades out.

 

Sharper: “The Howells used to be loved by these fans, but their actions as of late have changed that.”

 

Winters: “And who cares? Seriously? They are fed up and they want to get airtime. It’s a shame however that Dylan Howell is a complete idiot. Jessica, you’re a saint for actually standing next to him. Too bad you’re probably getting dumber by the second by supporting him.”

 

Sharper: “I sense you’re not a fan.”

 

Winters: “That idiot wants to call me out on Twitter because I speak the truth. If he can’t handle that, he should retire now and quit the business. He’ll never handle being a top guy then.”

 

The introduction to ‘Wake Up’ hits the speakers and the crowd goes into cheers at the sound of Liberation’s music. The crowd seemingly taken by the hope of SCW being liberated has really garnered momentum for these two young superstars. After the intro cuts into the main drive of the song, pyro explodes all around the entrance ramp as smoke begins to fill the top of the ramp. After a few seconds, we see Brayden Walker and Aaron D’Aubergine slowly make their way onto the entrance ramp looking confident and ready for a fight.

They begin to slowly make their way down the entrance ramp, looking focused and determined. They see that the fans have really begun to swing in their favor with wins and a sense that they really could pull this off. Walker slides underneath the bottom rope as D’Aubergine heads up the steps. Walker and D’Aubergine meet up and then they take to partnering turnbuckles and taunt the crowd showing gestures of liberation will be coming soon. They hop down and begin to talk strategy as they get ready for their fight.

 

Sharper: “Liberation, one of the most consistent tag teams in SCW history. Always competing at a top level and they simply want competition.”

 

Winters: “They’re going to get that in one way, but probably not up and up as they wanted. Breakdown showed that.”

 

Sharper: “Dylan and Jessica Howell took an opportunity to attack Liberation, obviously looking to get on camera, but also to make a statement.”

 

Winters: “Now it’s face to face. Let’s see what you guys can do.”

 

The bell sounds and Jessica exits the ring. Dylan however turns and as Aaron exits the ring, he runs over and grabs Brayden and hip throws him away from the corner. Brayden Walker rolls over and Dylan Howell kicks him in the ribs. He nails him with a straight right hand and pushes him into the Howell corner. The crowd boos and Dylan tags in Jessica. Jessica enters and kicks Brayden in the ribs. Dylan pushes back on Brayden as Jessica kicks away on Walker.

Brayden gets up too and Jessica kicks him in the ribs. She then turns and whips him into the corner. Jessica walks after him and kicks him in the ribs. She then pulls him out and places him on the middle rope. Brayden struggles as Jessica backs up and kicks him in the ribs. The crowd ohs. Jessica then leans down for the choke on the middle rope.

Brayden kicks out again. Dylan then grabs him and lifts him up. He knees him in the ribs. Aaron looks on, reaching for the tag.

 

Sharper: “Brayden Walker struggling early.”

 

Winters: “And in a shock, Dylan Howell is actually keeping Brayden away from Aaron and wrestling a smart match so far.”

 

Sharper: “Meanwhile, you see Aaron D’Aubergine standing on the apron. He wants the tag. He’s thinking about Breakdown when Jessica and Dylan planted him with that double DDT.”

 

Dylan whips Brayden into the ropes. He bounces off and Dylan powerslams him down. He goes for the pin.

Brayden gets his shoulder up. Dylan gets up and grabs Brayden and locks in a reverse chinlock. He then looks at Aaron and smirks as he synchs in it more. The crowd boos as Dylan holds on and Brayden looks around. The referee checks on him, but Brayden turns and starts to get his knees under him. Dylan then stops and nails him with a hard right. He pushes him to his feet and then whips him into the ropes. Brayden bounces off and Dylan goes to grab him for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but Brayden counters with an arm drag. Both get up and Dylan turns to Brayden and Brayden hits a Japanese arm drag. Dylan rolls over and gets up again and Brayden jumps up and takes him down with a hurricanrana and into a pin.

 

Winters: “There goes that for Dylan!”

 

Sharper: “Hurricanrana into the pin!”

Jessica breaks it up. She backs up and exits the ring as Aaron gets up and grabs Dylan. He lifts Dylan up and nails him with a forearm shiver. He then hits another shiver and then pulls him in and takes him over with a side belly to belly suplex.

 

Sharper: “Suplex takes down Howell. Liberation takes control of this match.”

 

Winters: “And right now, I hope Dylan’s enjoying his ass-kicking. I hope his whining this past month has been worth it!”

 

Sharper: “Aaron D’Aubergine starts to climb to the top rope too.”

 

Aaron exits to the apron and climbs up to the top rope. He looks at Dylan and just then, Jessica runs across and shoves Aaron down off the top rope. Aaron falls to the floor and bounces into the announce table. He rolls over in pain as the crowd boos.

 

Sharper: “D’Aubergine! Oh! Right into our table!”

 

Winters: “Well Jessica just showed she’s got this figured out! Big move there!”

 

Sharper: “Jessica Howell shoves him off. Aaron D’Aubergine is down. The Howells have an opening. The Rise to Greatness Pre-Show returns here from SCW Fanfest!”

 

The scene fades to black focusing on Aaron holding his face in pain.

We return to see Dylan Howell hitting a vertical suplex in front of the Howell corner before rolling over and tagging in Jessica. Jessica climbs up to the top rope.

 

Sharper: “Welcome back to the Rise to Greatness Pre-Show here from SCW Fanfest in Miami. The Howells have regained control! And they may win it here!”

 

Winters: “Going to the top! Jessica may carry this team!”

Jessica looks up. She grabs Aaron and lifts him up. She then turns and whips him into the corner. Jessica runs after him and nails him with a running forearm.

 

REPLAY:

 

We see Aaron on the top rope before seeing Jessica Howell running over along the apron and shoving him off the top rope. Aaron falls down and into the announce table. The RtG Preview show logo comes up and we then see a shot of Jessica Howell hitting a 450 splash.

She stirs and Aaron D’Aubergine staggers up to his feet and Jessica gets up. Aaron kicks her in the ribs. She places her head between his legs and lifts her up for a powerbomb before throwing her out and into the Ruppture. The crowd cheers. Jessica falls to the center of the ring. Aaron rolls over and instead focuses on the tag.

 

Winters: “I don’t know about that. I know you want the fresh guy in there, but go for the pin.”

 

Sharper: “Ruppture has Jessica Howell down. Aaron D’Aubergine crawling to Brayden Walker. Looking to get him back into this match as the legal man!”

 

Aaron takes another moment and dives forward and tags in Brayden. Brayden enters the ring as Jessica gets up and clotheslines her down. Jessica gets back up and Brayden scoops her up and slams her down. Dylan climbs to the top rope and goes to dive off as Brayden then turns and hits a spinning heel kick.

Sharper: “Aaron just looking on as he’s back on the apron. Jessica forced back out, but Dylan and Brayden are both down!”

 

Jessica looks on as Aaron reaches out for the tag. Dylan rolls over in pain and Brayden holds his jaw. (1) He turns over and shakes his head a bit. Dylan remains down.

Sharper: “Thirteen! Thirteen has Dylan Howell locked in the Last Breath! He’s choking the life out of him!”

Sharper: “We haven’t seen him since Brandenburg Burial. And he’s going after Dylan Howell who snapped at his sister backstage a few weeks ago!”

 

Thirteen keeps pulling back. The official heads over as does Aaron D’Aubergine. Both start to pull him off of Dylan Howell, but he keeps the lock firmly locked in.

The cameras keep focusing on them before Thirteen turns and starts to make his way to the back. The crowd cheers him as he walks off. The official keeps checking on Dylan Howell as the scene fades to black.


COMMERCIAL:


We return to see a wide shot of the SCW Fanfest floor before cutting back to a shot of the panel area shown earlier to see Jim Dawson now joined by Greg Cherry, Jay Gold and Pete Ebdon.

 

Dawson: “Welcome back here to Miami. As you can see, we are here at our panel desk on location at SCW Fanfest. I’ve been now joined by Greg Cherry, Jay Gold and Pete Ebdon.”

 

All nod.

 

Dawson: “And we have a lot to get to, but first, we can update you on what happened between Gable Winchester and Ravyn Taylor. We have some fan footage for you, taken on their cell phones. The first angle here, has the after effect…”

 

FAN FOOTAGE:

We see a shot of someone reaching over to Gable and seemingly doing something. The scene is really shaky and we hear some yelling before some roars from the people around. Several people run back as security comes into view and we see a female being pulled back away by security before being held back.

 

Dawson: “That’s the first. We can’t really tell what happened there, but then we have this from a fan in line.”

 

FAN FOOTAGE:

We then see a shot of the table with Gable signing something.

 

Voice: “Almost gonna meet him. Get this signed…look at this line…”

 

The person turns and pans around a bit. He turns back to Gable before we see someone new and then that person reaching up and spraying something into the eyes of Gable. The roaring is heard as security heads over and quickly starts to push the line back. The sound is deafening from the poor quality. We see Gable on the ground, holding his eyes. The footage then ends.

 

We cut back to show the panel.

 

Dawson: “Now you can clearly see someone spraying something into the eyes of Gable Winchester. We know that someone was Ravyn Taylor. Security confirmed that. We then found out that she sprayed him with a sunscreen spray. Gable was rushed to the hospital to have his eyes flushed out. We can tell you though that he’ll be feeling some burning, but should be able to compete.”

 

Cherry: “But what does that do for him. He’s fighting for a title. This isn’t just a normal match, you lose, it sucks. This is for the US Title, at Rise to Greatness.”

 

Ebdon: “She did what she does. She’s a brilliant person. I know personally. Helped train her. She is one of the most technically sound, but the fact is that she also knows how to get short cuts, how to get around her opponent in different ways. We all wondered if this was something different from her, if Gable got to her. She did nothing on Breakdown. This is why. Bring the guard down and now regardless of what you thought before, she definitely has the advantage tomorrow night.”

 

The logo comes up on the screens behind them before we see shots of stills of each of the matches come up as they speak about them.

 

Dawson: “And tomorrow night, we have a huge night to say the least. Rise to Greatness 2014 in Marlins Park and some how matches to take place. One being the return of Christy Matthews to the ring against Mexican signing Mas Deseada.”

 

Mas Deseada vs. Christy Matthews

 

Ebdon: “I don’t know what this Mas Deseada guy is about, but he’s got an attitude. I know Christy pretty well…she’ll teach him a lesson.”

 

Gold: “He’s been impressive so far. Not lost yet and that was with walking out of one match. He could give her a handful.”

 

Lucas Knight vs. Ryan Watson

 

Dawson: “Ryan Watson faces off against his mentor Lucas Knight.”

 

Ebdon: “Ryan Watson can be one of the best in the world. But he’s focusing on all of the wrong things. I’m with Lucas Knight. He’s going to teach him a few lessons.”

 

Cherry: “But Lucas has also gotten Watson pissed off. And after the humiliation Watson’s endured, that can be big motivation.”

 

Stacy Kissinger vs. Chris Cannon vs. Angelica Jones

 

Dawson: “Two people wronged by Silas Mason face off against one of his hit squad.”

 

Gold: “Kissinger is getting a chance to remind people why she was one to never tick off. Chris Cannon, we already saw what happens when someone threatens Kelcey Wallace. Ask Jake Starr about that. Angelica Jones may have a hell of a track record, but this may be too much to counteract.”

 

David Helms vs. William Mason

 

Dawson: “Mason wants to become the number one contender to the SCW World Title. He’s going after Helms and even attacked his manager and friend Matty Stone to ensure it.”

 

Cherry: “This is something Mason has done in the past.”

 

Gold: “Why do you say that?”

 

Cherry: “Certain television shows will not be named, but Mason does it because it works. And the fact is that he’s got Helms wanting revenge. He’s got him more angry by the week. You have to wonder if Mason is okay with just a disqualification as it can make the same impact as a straight up win.”

 

James Evans vs. Matt Auclair

SCW Underground Championship

 

Dawson: “James Evans was recruited by Ryan Moss, Auclair’s advisor. Evans turned him down and since then, Auclair and James Evans have collided numerous times.”

 

Ebdon: “Is James’ issue with Ryan Moss or is it with Matt Auclair? It may not matter anymore because with the Underground Championship on the line, he’s going to have to look over his shoulder.”

 

Gold: “But I’ve noticed that Auclair doesn’t seem to be a huge fan of Moss, so you have to wonder what he’ll think if Moss gets involved.”

 

Brent Randall vs. Merrick Wiseman

 

Dawson: “If anyone thought this may happen in 2014, I’d have called them a liar. Brent Randall will face off against Merrick Wiseman.”

 

Cherry: “Jay…you and I remember what the Mercs were capable of. And they’re back. We thought just for the Hall of Fame. But it looks like they wanted to relive some past glory. But they may have pissed off the wrong cowboy.”

 

Gold: “Yeah and they’re doing what they do. Cause problems. They paid off someone to act like Wiseman and do the opposite. They’ve acted like jerks. I can only imagine what tonight may be like.”

 

CHBK vs. Donovan Kayl

 

Dawson: “CHBK will face off against Donovan Kayl tomorrow. That match will happen.”

 

Ebdon: “And I can’t think about how much more amazing this is. He’s going to get the match he didn’t want and he’s forced to deal with it. Donovan Kayl has beat him before, but now he’s looking to make it much more decisive.”

 

Cherry: “Except as we all know, CHBK always has a plan and who knows what he’ll throw at Donovan Kayl.”

 

Mikaela Street vs. Gigi Steward vs. Autumn Valentine

SCW Women’s Championship

 

Dawson: “Women’s Title. Mikaela Street and Gigi Steward get their shots at Autumn Valentine.”

 

Ebdon: “Two people who have wanted this shot for a while. Autumn may not prefer this match but that doesn’t mean she won’t defend that title with her life. Gigi is hungry, we know it and Mikaela wants the spotlight. Three very motivated women in this one. Should be a treat.”

 

Kennedy Street vs. Katie Steward

 

Dawson: “Kennedy Street looks for revenge against Katie Steward!”

 

Gold: “Format protest may not be happening in this one, at least from Katie’s side. Kennedy wants to call her an old hag…Katie Steward knows how to show up and remind you why she’s always been one of the best.”

 

Ebdon: “Star of Tomorrow against one of the most decorated women in SCW history.”

 

Tommy Valentine vs. Simon Lyman

 

Dawson: “Two friends with great respect for one another having a competitive match. Simon Lyman faces off against Tommy Valentine.”

 

Cherry: “Tommy Valentine wants to get back to the upper echelon. Simon Lyman is getting a match where he can focus on the ring. It’s win win for both and the compete level for both is off the page. This could be the sleeper match of the night.”

 

The Hollow vs. The Falconry vs. Requiem vs. 4Saken

Double Elimination Match

SCW World Tag Team Championship

 

Dawson: “Four teams, three hate Requiem, but the Tag Titles are on the line as well.”

 

Gold: “What do they want more? To destroy Requiem who has been brutal to all three teams, or do they want to be the Tag Team Champions.”

 

Ebdon: “This is straight up rules too, so you have to be careful. You can try and go after Requiem, but the fact is that they can’t bend the rules and neither can anyone else. But it’s double elimination. You need to eliminate both members of a team to get them out of there.”

 

Cherry: “That’s the key. You have to make sure if you get rid of one, you gotta get rid of the other or else we may see some big hail mary type passes being made by desperate people and that can massively change the match.”

 

Shilo Valiant vs. Regan Street

 

Dawson: “This match we thought we’d see at Apocalypse last year. It didn’t happen. It’ll happen this year. Shilo Valiant faces off against Regan Street.”

 

Cherry: “Shilo has had Regan jump through hoops. He gave her his opportunity. He returned to face her tomorrow night, but he wanted the Hellcat. He’s getting the Hellcat.”

 

Ebdon: “He’s all about entertainment. But he may have made his life more difficult by pissing Regan off. We’ve seen through her entire career why that’s a bad plan.”

 

Gold: “That may be the point. No excuses on either side.”

 

Kelcey Wallace vs. Syren vs. Jake Starr vs. Shaun Cruze

SCW World Championship

 

Dawson: “And finally, the main event, the World Championship on the line. Perfect in singles matches against one loss in 2014 against undefeated at Rise to Greatness and the World Champion that not been pinned or submitted since last Fall. Wallace. Syren. Starr. Cruze.”

 

Cherry: “Huge main event and they’ve talked about how this is a battle of four of the best. That’s as advertised. All former, or current, champions. All have been at the top of the ladder. It’s hard to believe that this is the first Rise to Greatness main event for Jake Starr, but as for who the favourite, flip a lot of coins, because this could be easily the hardest match in Rise to Greatness history to pick.”

 

Gold: “And with all of the different emotions. The anger over the Trios Tournament contracts being cashed, the alliances to prevent people from getting injured, to the growing rift between Kelcey Wallace and Silas Mason to everything else. This could come down to who can channel that all the best.”

 

Ebdon: “Let’s also point out one thing here. Syren is the only one who has been in the main event of Rise to Greatness. Kelcey Wallace and Shaun Cruze both have broken through the glass ceiling this past year. Jake Starr, he’s been at the top for a long damn time. But Syren knows what that pressure is like. That could be a big key in this one.”

 

Dawson: “Rise to Greatness tomorrow night, live on pay per view. We have a full hour of analysis and last minute updates at 6 p.m. The event then starts at 7 p.m. Eastern. It’s the biggest time of the year. Thank you to Greg, Jay and Pete for joining me. Thank you for joining us tonight. The SCW Hall of Fame Class of 2014 induction special is next! Enjoy!”
