The FBI warning screen comes up on the screen for a
few moments as the anticipation builds.
“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.
The scene slowly fades into a live shot of the
inside of Cowboys Stadium, filled with SCW fans, seated on the floor and in the
rafters. A brief shot of the crowd from over the currently opened stadium is
shown, further reinforcing the massive amount of people present. The camera
continues to pan the crowd slowly before SCW announcer, Jason Phillip, can be
heard.
Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, to
sing America the Beautiful here at Rise to Greatness 2010, Grammy award winning
artist, Kelly Rowland!”
The crowd cheers as fans who are not rising do so
as the camera focuses on the ring to show Kelly Rowland standing in the middle
of the ring, smiling, before slowly bringing her microphone up to her mouth.
The music begins to slowly play in the background.
“O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! “
“O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!”
“O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!”
“O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!”
The crowd cheers, showing their patriotic fervour
as a formation of fighter jets fly overhead. The crowd starts to break out into
an audible chant of “USA! USA! USA!” as the cameras focus on the crowd. Slowly,
with these images being broadcast, the scene slowly fades to black.
The scene slowly opens to a shot of
the opening of last years Rise to Greatness, showing the full crowd, spotlights
circling the arena, and many fans standing on their feet cheering. The introduction
to “Hello, Hooray” by Alice Cooper begins to play in the background.
Hello! Hooray!
A shot of pyro going off in the
background is shown before showing the crowd, in slow-motion, starting to rise
to their feet in one section at a Rise to Greatness event in the past.
Let the show begin
I've been ready
We see a shot of Steve Griffin
standing in the back, SCW Championship over his shoulder, with Vixen Starr
rubbing his shoulders, followed by a shot of Jason Zero, as Jason Wheeler,
hopping up and down, waiting in the tunnel before going out.
Hello! Hooray!
We see a shot of CHBK taking a deep
breath in the back, followed by a shot of Cid Turner walking through the
backstage area with the World Championship over his shoulder. This is followed
by a shot of Katie Steward looking at herself in the mirror, getting herself
ready.
Let the lights grow dim
I've been ready
We then see the lights going out in
the Rise to Greatness area, before showing a shot of Econoline Crush playing
James Exeter in last year.
Ready as this audience that's coming here to dream!
We then see the audience jumping up
and down, celebrating and cheering the arrival of some unknown figure.
Loving every second, every moment, every scream.
A shot of Steve Griffin hitting the
Decimator off the top rope on CHBK at the first Rise to Greatness, followed by
a shot of the Shooting Star Press by James Exeter countered into the Griever’s
Bane by Shawn Winters last year, followed by a shot of Adam Riddick being
thrown off the top of a ladder at the 2006 event.
I've been waiting so long for this thing to come
We then see a shot of Syren and Ravyn
celebrating today, after their win over Marina Trent and Shilo Valiant to earn
an SCW Tag Team Championship shot, before showing Josh Hudson smiling at
ringside, followed by a shot of Glacier smiling and then James Exeter
eliminating Damian Angel at the Taking Hold of the Flame event.
Yeah - I've been thinking so long I was the only one.
As the last lyric plays, a shot of
Steve Griffin and CHBK engaged in a staredown, followed by Xander Valentine and
The Real Speed, followed by Cid Turner and Adam Riddick, followed by Xander
Valentine and Jason Wheeler, followed by Brian Kinney and Matt Hodges and Jay
Gold, followed by Shawn Winters and James Exeter and finally, Greg Cherry and
Thorn in the ringside area, before the music and scene slowly fade to black...
The scene reopens before we hear some
ominous classical tunes and see Josh Hudson posing in preparation for his Rise
to Greatness still.
Hudson: “Tonight....”
Starr: “Tonight...”
Ravyn and Syren (in unison):
“Tonight....”
CHBK: “Tonight....”
David Helms: “Tonight....”
The shot turns to Jason Zero smiling.
Zero: “Anything can happen.”
Ravyn Taylor is then shown.
Ravyn: “Entirely unpredictable.”
A shot of Lucas Knight trying to
burst through security to get at CHBK on the June 23rd Breakdown.
Knight: “Lives can be turned upside
down...”
This turns to a shot of Glacier
rubbing his fists.
Glacier: “Revenge will be taken...”
James Exeter standing in the ring
after Damian Angel set fire to the bottom rope is shown.
Exeter: “Decisions will be
regretted...”
We then see a shot of Greg Cherry
holding the SCW World Championship from several years ago, before showing Greg
Cherry countering the Greiver’s Bane into the Cherry Pit on the Rise to
Greatness preview special.
Greg: “I will take what is MINE!”
Hudson: “I will end Starr’s
dominance!”
We then see CHBK posing with his arms
outstretched and an explosion going off behind him.
CHBK: “History or revenge?”
Zero: “Chaos or order?”
Rachel: “Battered and bruised...”
A shot of Thorn hitting the Griever’s
Bane on Greg Cherry is shown.
Thorn: “I prove this is my time!”
Damian: “I prove I’m the most vicious
man ever.”
A shot of Chad Evans then comes up
before showing Xander Valentine looking around in the arena, angry, playing
from the July 7th event.
Chad Evans: “I prove my legend!”
Xander: “I execute God!”
A shot of Syren and Ravyn Taylor is
shown before countering this with a shot of them being attacked by Karnivale in
the backstage area.
Syren and Ravyn (in unison): “We take
advantage of an opportunity...”
Knight: “I make CHBK a relic of the
past....”
Jake Starr posing is shown.
Starr: “I send Hudson packing...”
Zero appears again...
Zero: “Tonight!”
...followed by Karnivale...
Karnivale (in unison): “Tonight!”
...followed by Rachel and Alex
Desoubrais Jr...
Rachel: “Tonight!”
...followed by Damian Angel...
Damian: “Tonight!”
....followed by Justin Davis...
Justin: “Tonight!”
Then every visual just seen, plays
back in super fast-motion before going to black.
Everyone (in unison): “Tonight!”
The Rise to Greatness logo slowly
fades onto the screen.
Everyone (in unison): “We Rise to
Greatness!”
The logo remains on the screen before
slowly fading to black.
The black screen then turns into a shot of
nothingness, as “Good Life” by Three Days Grace plays in the background, until
the top of the Rise to Greatness logo flies across the screen slowly before
slowly panning out to reveal the entire logo, in front of a digitalized version
of the Cowboys Stadium, highlighted in Cowboy silver and blue.
“And now....Supreme Championship Wrestling
presents....RISE TO GREATNESS!”
The logo remains on the screen for a moment longer
before switching to a shot inside the Cowboys Stadium. The crowd roars before a
huge blast of pyro comes from the base of the entrance way before running up
the rampway and to the top before expanding across the stage in opposite
direction and then back again. Pyro then shoots up from all across the stage
and then the floor before going back to the stage and then pyro comes down the
border of both sides of the entrance structure and then come down along the
stage before firing off several times across the stage before streamers shoot
out to finish the impressive display and spotlights start to circle the huge
arena. The crowd begins to cheer, standing on their feet, waving their banners
and posters. The camera starts to pan the arena before backing up to show the giant
HD screen of Cowboys Stadium before then returning to panning throughout the
crowd before Adam Sharper’s voice comes through.
Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the heart of Texas!
Welcome everyone to the summer spectacular! Welcome everyone to Rise to
Greatness 2010!”
The crowd continues to cheer as the camera continues
to pan throughout the huge mass of people and then backing up to the middle of
the ring, showing the scaffold built around it and the briefcase hanging over
the center of the scaffold. Jason Phillips stands in the middle of the ring.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, your opening
contest for the evening is the Scaffold Scramble match where the individual who
can secure the briefcase hanging over the scaffold will be able to get a
championship opportunity against either the Underground or Adrenaline
Champion!”
The crowd roars a bit as they start to settle down
from the intro.
All is dark and Air raid sirens fill the arena, a
spotlight drifts around as typing on a keyboard can be heard, words scroll
across the video screen
INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….
The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the
keyboard starts again
SUBJECT: HELMS…
The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening
as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.
EVALUATION: DANGEROUS…
The gunfire and sirens halt as the chanting intro of “Downfall of us All” by A
Day To Remember echoes around the arena. Blue pyro shoots along the entire
stage, blasting up high in the air. The lights flicker back on and Helms walks
out from the back and looks down at the ring. Johnny Ward stands behind him and
he walks up behind Helms before rubbing his shoulders. Helms nods before taking
a few steps and then jumping up and hitting a self high five, as some more blue
pyro shoots out behind him. Helms continues on his way to the ring as Johnny
just continues to follow him, talking to Helms the entire way.
Phillips: “First on his way to the ring, hailing
from Raleigh, North Carolina, accompanied by Johnny Ward, he is “Dangerous”
David Helms!”
Helms continues towards the ring and hops onto the
apron as Johnny Ward walks around and we go to the English announce table.
Sharper: “Well ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
ringside here. I’m Adam Sharper, alongside Jim Dawson and Jonathan Knots and
we’re pleased to have you here for Rise to Greatness.”
Knots: “Look at all of the people here. This is
huge!”
Dawson: “Everyone has come out here tonight. This
is the night where legends are made and history becomes reality!”
Sharper: “And that’s what all of these men in this
match are looking to do. David Helms is one of the brainchilds of this match
and definitely is looking to have a defining moment.”
The arena goes black. The lights flash, as thunder
can be heard in the background. “I Want to Live” plays in the background as the
rapping starts to play. The crowd starts to boo a bit as the lights flash on
and sparks shoot from the stage. Jamal Evans walks out from the back and looks
around, smiling. He looks around before starting to jog down the rampway.
Phillips: “Next, on his way to the ring, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jamal
Evans!”
Jamal continues to make his way to the ring.
Sharper: “Well as Jamal Evans makes his way down,
allow us to turn to our Spanish colleagues, Carlos Perez and Miguelito
Hernandez!”
Perez: “¡Es la demostración más grande del año y
somos felices de estar aquí a la derecha fuera de Tejas!”
Hernandez: “Doce fósforos enormes esta noche. Y lo
estamos golpeando con el pie apagado con el despegue en tiempo mínimo del
andamio. ¡Alguien va a conseguir un fósforo de título y mucho lesiones serán
tenidas!”
Perez: “Pero alguien va a levantarse a la grandeza,
así que a hablar, aquí en este fósforo y durante toda la noche delante del
mundo.”
The opening strains to “Everywhere I Go” start to
echo around the arena as gold lighting starts to pulse around the arena, then
begin to pulse to the beat of the introduction. Once the main verse starts,
Gable Winchester walks from the back, nodding his head and moving his hands up
and down in time to his theme song. The fans cheer as he looks out at the huge
crowd in attendance.
Phillips: “On his way to the ring, hailing from Las
Vegas, Nevada, he is Gable Winchester!”
Gable then jumps up before starting to run down to the ring, clapping a few
fans hands as he jogs to the ring.
Sharper: “And let us introduce you to our French
colleagues as well, Pierre Broussard and Ahren Arachne!”
Broussard: “C'est élévation à la grandeur! C'est le
rêve de personnes de nuit environ. C'est la nuit pour que des rêves à venir
vrai et l'histoire soit faite!”
Arachne: “Et beaucoup de personnes vont le faire.
La cerise et l'épine de Greg vont regarder pour être champion. Jake Starr et
Josh Hudson luttent pour la fierté. Et cette allumette trop….quelqu'un obtient
une occasion de titre.”
The intro to The Name of the Game hits the speakers
as the lights dim throughout the arena. The crowd roars and from the back,
Brayden Walker walks out. He looks out at the crowd before, without much
hesitation starts to make his way down the rampway. He looks up at the scaffold
structure and then the three men already in the ring. He then smiles and
continues.
Phillips: “And next, on his way down the ramp, from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Brayden Walker!”
The crowd cheers a bit more and Brayden smiles
before jogging over to the steel steps.
Sharper: “Brayden Walker and David Helms came up
with this concept. Ultimately it’s an opportunity for these six men that will
enter this match. Climb the scaffold, grab the briefcase, and you get a shot at
the Underground or Adrenaline Championship. Winner’s choice.”
Knots: “Yeah and we know a lot of these guys want
that shot. Brayden Walker’s trying to get ahead in the Underground Division.
Helms is trying to leave the Underground division. Gable wouldn’t mind a title
shot after losing the US Title.”
Sharper: “Not to mention Mayhem, Dillusion and
Jamal Evans looking to get back to where they were.”
The screen suddenly goes to static and a large
blast of pyro comes from the base of the stage and then the top of the entrance
way. “Wait and Bleed” by Slipknot begins to pump through the arena speakers.
The camera moves in to the curtain to show Dillusion walking out from the back,
holding a steel chair. He takes a few steps and smiles before looking around.
Phillips: “And now coming to the ring, from
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, he is Dillusion!”
He smiles as he then starts to make his way down the rampway, pointing at each
person before looking to his chair.
Sharper: “That man has lost it.”
Dawson: “He antagonized Xander Valentine last
Wednesday and that was after attacking everyone in this match with a steel
chair.”
Knots: “He’s nuts. That’s going to be good and bad
in this match.”
Sharper: “In any case, that just means he’ll have a
target on his back.”
The crowd starts to roar as Dillusion’s music
starts to fade out and suddenly the lights dim and “Lux Aeterna” by Clint
Mansell starts to play and the crowd starts to boo.
Dawson: “What? Wait a minute?”
A few moments pass and we see Zachriel “Darkside” Donahue
saunter out from the back. He looks down to the ring and smirks before
continuing down the rampway and towards the ring. Helms looks around as
Phillips turns and looks to the officials on the floor. They just shrug and
Phillips steps out of the ring. Donahue continues on his way to the ring as the
crowd continues to boo.
Sharper: “This...well this is unexpected. We were
expecting Mayhem to be the sixth man, but here comes Darkside.”
Knots: “Last we saw him, he was with Ravyn. Maybe
this is a favour to Lucas Knight. He is the Underground Champion.”
Sharper: “I don’t know. We know that Darkside and
Mayhem have had their issues in recent weeks. Maybe this is just Darkside doing
what he wants. But regardless, where is Mayhem?!”
Darkside reaches the ring and hops up onto the
apron. He then steps into the ring and smiles as Helms, looks around as does
Walker and suddenly Dillusion turns and drills the end of the chair into the
ribs of Gable. The crowd roars as the bell sounds. Dillusion then turns and throws
the chair at Jamal Evans as Darkside just leans back. Helms and Walker both
turn to Dillusion as Jamal falls back and Walker and Helms both kick him in the
ribs. Walker then kicks him in the chest before Helms jumps up and dropkicks
him down. Dillusion rolls out of the ring and Helms gets up before Walker turns
and grabs Helms and throws him out of the ring. Walker then turns around and
Darkside runs out of the corner and nails him with a boot. The crowd ohs and
Darkside paces around the ring.
Dawson: “Darkside waited and now quickly finds
himself the only standing.”
Sharper: “But Dillusion again being the instigator,
going after everyone with his chair.”
Darkside then walks over to Gable and nails him
with a hard right before lifting him up and choke throwing him into the corner.
He then turns before drilling him with a hard knee to the ribs and then again.
He looks back as Jamal starts to get up and Darkside grabs Gable out of the
corner and just throws him over and into a Jamal Evans. Darkside then turns and
walks over to the ropes where Dillusion grabs a ladder and starts to pull it
from under the ring. He then goes to lift it up but Darkside grabs him over the
top rope by the hair and hoists him up. Helms meanwhile on the other side grabs
a ladder and lifts it up. He looks in before then sliding it in. The crowd
roars as he then rolls in and Walker starts to stir. Helms then lifts up the
ladder as Darkside nails Dillusion with a hard right and then a forearm.
Dillusion rolls to a seated position on the apron. Helms then runs at Darkside
and drills him in the back with the ladder. The crowd ohs and Darkside falls
forward and to his knees. Helms then sees Dillusion with his back to the ring,
seated on the apron and Helms smiles before turning and throwing the ladder at
Darkside, causing it to hit him in the back of the head and the ladder turns
and nails Dillusion in the head too. Dillusion falls off the apron and chest
first into his ladder as Darkside just crumples over and rolls to the apron. Helms
then walks over and grabs his ladder before Walker grabs him from behind and
clubs him in the back.
Dawson: “Dillusion and Darkside have no clue where
they are!”
Knots: “That ladder hit both of them in the back of
their heads!”
Walker then grabs Helms as Helms drops the ladder
and throws him back with a back suplex. Helms rolls over in pain and Walker
gets up. Jamal and Gable both get up and Walker grabs the ladder before turning
around and Gable and Jamal jump up and dropkicks the ladder back into Walker.
Gable rolls over and Jamal then jumps up before jumping up onto the ladder
which is on top of Walker and then jumps up onto Gable and hits a jumping
standing STO. The crowd ohs and Gable rolls over. Jamal then looks around
before looking over to the scaffold structure that is being held in place by
four posts at the ringposts and leaned across onto the scaffold itself. He then
runs over and goes to the nearest corner. He starts to climb up as the crowd
roars. As he does this, we cut backstage to see a shot of Mayhem, bloodied and
unconscious backstage. Several officials are checking on him as the trainer
tries to get some response from him as we cut back to ringside to see Jamal
Evans on the outside of the post holding the scaffold solid before starting to
climb up it on some of the handles used to help set it up.
Sharper: “That answers the question about Mayhem.”
Knots: “Yeah, but it may be irrelevant. Jamal Evans
may be looking to end this thing quick.”
Dawson: “He may, but Walker, Helms and Gable are
all in the ring and Darkside and Dillusion are still moving. That means nothing
is guaranteed!”
Jamal continues to climb up, establishing a decent
lead. We then see Helms grabbing the ladder off of Walker and lifting it up
before unfolding it. He then places it to the side of the scaffold and starts
to climb up. Meanwhile, Dillusion, holding his head, crawls around the ring and
grabs a table. He lifts it out before turning and sliding it into the ring.
Dillusion then winces as David climbs up to the top of the ladder. Jamal starts
to get to the top of the pole before crawling along the narrow path to hold the
scaffold in place and diving onto the scaffold. The crowd starts to roar and
Helms grabs the scaffold and then pushes off the top of the ladder before
rolling onto it. Dillusion rolls in as Walker stirs and he sees the table
before seeing Dillusion slowly rolling in and grabs it before sliding it hard
into Dillusion’s ribs. The crowd ohs and Walker then lifts up the table and
drags it over and unfolds the legs before setting it up on the mat.
Sharper: “Some furniture being introduced into this
one. Remember no rules and anything can happen.”
Knots: “Yeah and Dillusion is already really banged
up. Walker quickly turned that on him.”
Dawson: “And look! Helms and Evans are both on that
scaffold. They might get it!”
Helms gets up and Evans kicks him in the ribs. He
then grabs Helms and takes him down with a DDT on the top of the scaffold. The
crowd ohs and Darkside slides into the ring. Walker then turns and sees him and
kicks him in the ribs. Just then we see Dillusion pull himself up as Gable gets
up. Gable turns and looks at Darkside and kicks him in the ribs only for Walker
and him to both nail him with a hard right and Gable then turns and kicks
Walker in the chest. Walker staggers back as Jamal Evans starts to go to the
briefcase and reaches up, grabbing the case and getting on his tip-toes to get
to the clasp. Helms however gets up and nails him with a front dropkick and
Jamal falls back. Jamal rolls over and starts to stir as Dillusion starts to
climb the ladder set up by Helms. Jamal starts to get up and attempts a hard
right, but Helms knees him in the ribs. He then turns before hip tossing Jamal
Evans off the top of the scaffold and down onto Walker, Gable and Darkside. The
crowd ohs as all four men roll over in pain with Gable landing outside of the
ring. A “Holy Sh*t!” chant begins.
Sharper: “A hip toss from the scaffold and it just
took out four men!”
Dawson: “Jamal Evans just learned to fly the bad
way!”
Knots: “Yeah and he crashed and took out three
guys!”
Helms looks down as he is on his knees and just
smiles before standing up and Dillusion pulls himself onto the scaffold.
|
REPLAY: Jamal can be
seen wincing before Helms grabs him and hip tosses him off the scaffold.
Jamal flips over and lands into Walker, Gable and Darkside in the ring. The
angle changes to show it from above the ring as Jamal can be seen flying down
and landing into the three men below! |
Helms pulls
himself up and quickly kicks Dillusion in the ribs. He then backs up and
jumps up for a hurricanrana and grabs the briefcase in the process, only for
Dillusion to powerbomb him on the scaffold. The crowd ohs as Helms is thrown
down hard and the briefcase bounces up and down on the clasp. |
Dillusion looks up and then smiles as he starts to
laugh a bit. He then grabs Helms and lifts him up before dragging him back to
his feet. He then suddenly pulls him down with a reverse STO and then rolls
back and locks in the For Epiphany on the top of the scaffold. Helms yells in
pain as Dillusion keeps the hold locked in.
Sharper: “Koji clutch on the top of the scaffold!”
Knots: “Why the hell isn’t the idiot going for the
briefcase! He could’ve ended this!”
Sharper: “Go in there and ask him. I doubt he
knows!”
Helms yells in pain some more and then starts to
lightly tap on the top of the scaffold. Dillusion however keeps the hold on as
Gable slowly pulls himself up on the floor. He looks under the ring and smiles
as he grabs something. Darkside starts to move as Jamal gets up and turns to
Gable and Gable nails him with a wrench he found from under the ring. Jamal
falls over as Dillusion finally let go of Helms on the top of the scaffold.
Brayden starts to crawl over to the ladder and slowly pulls himself up.
Darkside however does the same on the opposite side. Brayden then gets up
slowly as Dillusion rolls back and starts to get up. Gable rolls into the ring
as Jamal continues to hold his head in pain. Darkside continues to climb up and
Brayden does as well and Gable then runs over and clubs Darkside in the back
with the wrench. He winces and Gable then turns and grabs him before throwing
him down with a powerbomb. The crowd cheers. Brayden meanwhile manages to jump
up onto the scaffold. Gable then looks around before looking up and smirking
before throwing the wrench up, trying to throw it on the scaffold. He misses
and it falls down the other side.
Sharper: “Gable is trying to get that wrench up
there. Brayden now is up there and Dillusion just admiring his dismantling of
David Helms!”
Dawson: “With Dillusion focusing on taking Helms
out, he’s arguably cost him the briefcase! Here comes Brayden!”
Gable walks over and grabs it again as Jamal continues
to stir. He throws it up and it lands on the scaffold. He smirks and then goes
over and climbs the nearest corner as Brayden gets up and Dillusion turns and
blocks a right hand before nailing Brayden. Brayden stumbles back and Dillusion
smiles before grabbing him. He then goes to lift him up for an exploder suplex,
but Brayden blocks it with a knee. He then grabs Dillusion and looks over and
spins him off and throws him off and Dillusion lands down, landing throat first
on the top rope. The crowd ohs as Dillusion falls back. Darkside stirs as Gable
gets up onto the top turnbuckle and starts to spin around to the pole to climb
it up like Jamal did, but Jamal suddenly gets up and runs over to the corner
and grabs Gable before kicking him in the ribs and Gable falls back and lands
face first into the steel steps below. The crowd ohs and Gable falls back.
Jamal then looks around before slowly starting to climb up along the pole.
Dawson: “Dillusion down! Gable down!”
Sharper: “Both of them may not be coming back any
time soon. Jamal is trying to get back up using his agility to climb up that
pole. But Brayden and Helms are still right there.”
Knots: “Don’t count out Darkside. He’s still in the
ring and with his strength...this could end bad for a lot of people!”
Brayden grabs Helms and lifts him up. He then kicks
him in the ribs and places his head between his legs. The crowd starts to roar
as they expect a flip piledriver on the scaffold. He goes to lift him up, but Helms
counters with a back drop. Walker rolls over in pain before slowly starting to
stir. Helms then turns and hits a back kick. He then looks around before
kicking Walker in the ribs again. He then scoops Walker up for a Michinoku
driver, but Walker spins through and lands behind him. He then lifts Helms up
and German suplexes him down on the scaffold. He nearly rolls off, but holds
on. Walker then turns and nails him with a hard right and then another, but
Helms manages to hit an uppercut and Walker falls back. Jamal manages to get up
and slowly crawls along the small path again as Darkside gets up. Walker gets
up and Helms then nails him with a hard elbow and Walker staggers back. Helms
then jumps up and nails him with a hard right and Walker spins off before
rolling off the scaffold. He however holds onto the edge, but as he hangs down,
Darkside suddenly runs into the ropes and bounces off them before jumping up
and drilling Walker off the scaffold with a vicious version of the Inevitable!
The crowd rises to their feet in awe!
Knots: “Whoa!”
Sharper: “Brayden Walker is done! The Inevitable
just turned him inside out!”
Knots: “And Darkside, the guy who’s not scheduled
just made a hell of an impact!”
Darkside then gets up and looks down at Brayden
Walker before smiling and backing up. Helms just turns and Jamal Evans nails
him with a shot to the ribs and then to the head. Jamal just smiles before
Helms winces. Jamal then grabs him and sets him up with his arm across his
chest. The crowd roars and Jamal then jumps up and throws both him and Helms
off the top of the scaffold and through the table with the So Icey! The crowd
ohs and explodes in cheers again as both men lay in the table shrapnel in pain.
Dawson: “My God!”
Sharper: “A uranage suplex off the top of scaffold
through the table!”
Knots: “Helms wanted to escape hardcore and right
there, he reminded himself why!”
Darkside looks around him and smiles before walking
over to the ladder still upright and he starts to climb up it. The boos come
from all over as Darkside just takes his time. He gets up to the top of the
ladder as Dillusion slowly starts to stir. He rolls over and slowly crawls over
to the ladder. He then grabs the side of the scaffold and slowly starts to pull
himself up. His limited skill with ladders plays a bit of a role as he rather
gingerly pulls himself up and then rolls onto the scaffold. On the floor, Gable
starts to crawl over to the ring and pulls out a table. He then pulls out
another before looking up. He then unfolds one before slowly placing it up as
Dillusion gets to the ladder. He slowly starts to pull himself up. He then gets
up, actually holding the ladder enough for Darkside to get to the scaffold. He
then looks up and smiles as Dillusion starts to climb up with a bit more. He
then gets to the top of the ladder. He reaches up and then reaches up and grabs
the leg of Darkside. Darkside looks down before trying to rip Dillusion away,
but Dillusion holds on and Darkside pulls him off the apron and Dillusion hangs
off the side. Darkside just smiles before looking around before jumping up and
dropping a leg across the back of Dillusion’s head. The crowd ohs and Dillusion
falls back and down to the mat. Darkside then looks at the briefcase and
smiles.
Sharper: “Dillusion tried to stop Darkside, but
that’s not enough!”
Dawson: “How the hell is anyone going to stop him?
Everyone is down. Everyone is still hurt!”
Just then Darkside reaches up and goes to grab the
briefcase and suddenly, we see the Spectacular Ninja hop over the barricade and
run into the ring. He then quickly jogs up the ladder. Darkside fumbles with
the briefcase hook and Ninja climbs up onto the top of the scaffold. Gable
meanwhile sets up the second table and leans on both as they sit on the floor.
He then slowly starts to move towards the ring. Dillusion slowly pulls himself
up as well as Walker rolls to the floor.
Sharper: “The Spectacular Ninja?”
Knots: “Oh for the love of God! That moron!”
Dawson: “Well he’s going to have a hell of a chance
to prevent Darkside from getting the briefcase!”
Dillusion starts to climb back up the ladder as
Ninja gets to the scaffold before jumping up and hitting an axe kick on
Darkside. Darkside staggers back and Ninja then jumps up and hits a jumping
kick to the side of the head. Darkside winces and Ninja just smiles before
backing up. He then suddenly runs towards Darkside only for Darkside to run
forward and hit him with a running headbutt. Ninja falls back and rolls over
and Darkside then turns and grabs him and starts to lift him up. Dillusion
however climbs up to the top of the scaffold, wincing heavily and Gable climbs
up and starts to climb up the post. Darkside goes to lift Ninja up, but Ninja
low blows Darkside and Dillusion then runs over and pushes Darkside from behind
and he just turns before falling off the scaffold and landing hard on the
canvas, back first. The crowd ohs. Ninja then turns and looks to Dillusion as
Dillusion looks to him.
Dawson: “The Spectacular Ninja and Dillusion just
threw Darkside off that scaffold!”
Knots: “I don’t think he’ll be doing much for the
foreseeable future!”
Sharper: “You really can’t land well from up
there!”
Dawson: “I’m still shocked Dillusion got back up
there. But the man’s insane!”
Dillusion just continues to look to Ninja and Ninja
then gets up and hugs him. Dillusion however suddenly clinches him up and then
throws him off the scaffold with a side belly to belly suplex. The crowd ohs as
Ninja hits the mat and rolls out of the ring. Dillusion then rolls over and
starts to laugh from his knee. Meanwhile, Gable gets to the top before slowly
starting to crawl along that path to the scaffold and jumping up. Dillusion
feels the impact of Gable jumping on and turns around only for Gable to kick
him in the ribs and hook him up before dropping him with the Running Wild on
the top of the scaffold. The crowd roars and Gable falls back. Helms and Jamal
finally start to stir as Walker lifts the second ladder on the floor and pushes
it into the ring.
Dawson: “Gable drops Dillusion with the Running
Wild on top of that scaffold!”
Sharper: “And everyone is starting to move. Gable
has to move fast if he wants to get that title shot!”
Walker rolls in afterwards and starts to pull
himself up. Jamal and Helms pull each other up and Jamal nails Helms with a
straight right hand, knocking him back down. Brayden Walker then turns and
lifts the ladder up before driving the end into the ribs of Jamal. Jamal falls
to his knees as the crowd ohs. Walker then looks up and sees Gable up. He then
turns and takes the ladder and lifts it up, wincing a bit before placing one
end on the top rope and leans the other half on the scaffold. The crowd starts
to roar and Walker then steps through the ropes gingerly before looking at the
ladder. He takes a deep breath and then climbs to the middle rope and climbs up
onto the ladder. The crowd starts to roar.
Knots: “What is he doing? Is he nuts?”
Sharper: “You’d have to be in this and Brayden
Walker...please don’t tell me he’s going to try what he’s going to.”
Knots: “That can’t be stable at all!”
Darkside starts to get up too, wincing a bit and
rolling over towards the ladder Brayden has. Walker then jumps up and starts to
run up the ladder. Ladder however slides back and off the scaffold. Walker
jumps up and manages to grab onto the side of the scaffold, but the jumping up
causes the ladder to fall down hard onto Darkside. The crowd ohs and Walker
grabs on the side of the scaffold. Gable gets up and turns before smiling
before then turning and Walker looks up before shaking his head and Gable
stomps him in the head and then again and Walker falls back and lands on the
ladder and on top of Darkside. The crowd ohs as Walker then rolls off, holding
his back in pain. Helms meanwhile starts to pull himself up and goes over to
the far corner near the table shrapnel. He then climbs up and grabs onto the
ropes. He then turns before starting to pull himself up the pole. Jamal Evans
gets up and looks down at Darkside and Walker before grabbing the ladder. He
then unfolds it before placing it in the corner.
Dawson: “That did not end as Walker wanted!”
Sharper: “And Gable’s up there now all alone.
Dillusion is up there, but he’s hurt!”
|
REPLAY: Walker can be
seen running up the ladder from the side as the ladder can be seen clearly
sliding down before Walker jumps up. The ohs are audible from the crowd
before Walker is stomped twice and falls back, back first onto the ladder.
The crowd ohs again. The angle changes and this time shows from above the
ring by the briefcase. It shows Walker running up and then falling onto the
scaffold and hanging on. He can be clearly see shaking his head in
nervousness as Gable gets up and stomps him in the head twice before falling
back. |
Gable looks
around and turns before looking at the briefcase. Helms pulls himself up onto
the corner before Gable reaches up and grabs the briefcase. He stands on his
tip toes and starts to fiddle with the hook. He tries to pull it in, but his
hands slip noticeably because of the sweat. Jamal Evans starts to climb up on
the ladder he set up as quickly as possible, holding his ribs in pain before
reaching up and then pulling himself up and wrapping his legs around the
small walkway and slowly rolling on top. He continues as Helms gets up and
starts to crawl across. |
Gable then turns and stomps Dillusion as Dillusion
stirs and Gable then turns and reaches up, but Jamal Evans then runs over and
tackles knees Gable in the back. Gable grabs onto the briefcase and tries to
hold on, but then falls forward and lands hard onto the ropes below. The crowd
ohs and Gable then falls over and rolls to the floor. Jamal then turns and
looks up and Dillusion suddenly pulls himself up, but Jamal turns and kicks him
in the ribs. He places Dillusion’s head between his legs as the crowd roars.
Sharper: “Jamal Evans stands on the top. He’s got
Dillusion hooked!”
Knots: “He’s already got rid of Gable Winchester!”
Dawson: “And now is he going to get rid of Dillusion!”
Jamal then goes to lift Dillusion, but Dillusion
blocks it and falls back down and Helms then manages to jump on the scaffold
before jumping up and nailing him with the Nightmare on Helms Street sans
chair! Evans just turns and falls over and Dillusion loses his balance as a
result of him being hooked by Jamal. Jamal flips forward and off the scaffold
and Dillusion rolls over and falls off partially and Helms turns and stomps him
in the head. Dillusion then falls off and nearly lands on Jamal Evans. The
crowd ohs and then starts to cheer as Helms turns and looks up. He then grabs
the briefcase before reaching up and grabbing the hook. He fiddles with it for
a moment before managing to push in the one part and then pushing up on the
briefcase and unhooking it. He then grabs it and falls to his knees as the
crowd cheers and the bell sounds.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this
match and receiving either an Adrenaline or Underground Championship
opportunity, David Helms!”
The crowd cheers as “Downfall of us All” plays
throughout the arena. Helms just looks at the briefcase before looking out at
the huge crowd and throwing his arm in the air, hoisting the briefcase up.
Sharper: “Oh my! What a match! What carnage!”
Dawson: “And with this you had to have some luck.
Let’s look back at some of this insanity.”
The Rise to Greatness logo comes up on the screen
before it shows Jamal Evans being kneed by Helms and then hip tossed off the
scaffold into Walker, Gable and Darkside. We then see Brayden Walker hanging
from the side of the scaffold before being drilled by the Inevitable by
Darkside. This is followed by a shot of the So Icey off the scaffold by Evans
onto Helms through the table. We then see Darkside standing on the top as Ninja
hops in and Ninja and Dillusion getting Darkside off the top of the scaffold
before Ninja is thrown off. This is followed by a shot of Brayden Walker trying
to run up the ladder only to fail and then the ending moments of the match. The
Rise to Greatness logo flies up on the screen as we then see Helms now standing
over the ring on the scaffold holding the briefcase in the air as the camera
slowly pans away to show the entire chaos around the ring.
Sharper: “What an unbelievable match. Action all
around. And congratulations to David Helms for getting his shot.”
Dawson: “Only fitting that he wins the match he
helped think up.”
Knots: “Yeah and now, he’s got a decision.”
Sharper: “And I’m sure we’ll find out. He’s wanted
his shot at the Adrenaline Champion. This may be his chance.
Helms is then focused upon again as he then drops
down and slowly starts to let out a few breaths. The officials set up a ladder
for him to climb down on as we cut backstage.
The scene cuts backstage and the crowd roars as we
see a split screen of both Jake Starr and Josh Hudson.
|
Jake Starr just
reaches into his bags and pushes the ends open before turning and taking off
his shirt. He then looks up and takes a deep breath. |
Josh Hudson
can be seen looking at the mirror and almost staring at his own reflection.
He takes a few breaths before nodding and smiling before pulling himself
away. |
Sharper: “There you see Jake Starr and Josh Hudson.
They will meet here tonight in what, regardless, will be Josh Hudson’s last
match.”
Dawson: “Huge stakes. A lot of pride on the line
when those two meet.”
The cameras focus on both individuals for a moment
longer before the scene cuts to the SCW interview area.
The scene opens up in front of the Rise to
Greatness interview area as we see Jessica Winters wearing a long flowing red
dress with a microphone in her hand.
Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen....Glacier.”
The crowd boos as Glacier walks into view, with a
guest...Amber. The boos become even more noticeable. Jessica just looks at
Glacier, rather disgusted. Glacier quickly picks up on this.
Glacier: “What? Are you going to do what everyone
else is? Judge me?”
Jessica immediately gets a bit flustered.
Jessica: “Ah...no...no-“
Glacier: “Of course you are. See everyone was fine
when I wanted to get revenge and just kept it to costing him the World
Championship. But the moment I showed how much I hated that blonde-headed son
of a bitch, everyone started calling me an ice-cold bastard. Well, Jessica,
tonight, those judgemental fools that have been hoping Davis kicks my
ass....they’re going to see the exact opposite. And I’m going to make sure of
it. Because as you can see, I’ve brought a friend.”
Glacier smiles as Jessica still looks disgusted.
Amber just doesn’t make eye contact.
Glacier: “And Amber is going to come out to that
ring with me and she is going to WATCH as I take Davis apart in front of the
world. Justin Davis took away my career and livelihood for over a year and a half.
I’m going to take away EVERYTHING from him and I’m going to make his love watch
as Davis is left bleeding, unconscious, in the middle of that ring. Have a
problem with that?”
Jessica Winters just looks at Glacier and steps
back a bit.
Glacier: “Good. Because I know I don’t.”
Glacier then goes to step away only to stop. The
camera pans out to see Holly Adams just looking at him. Glacier suddenly lets
his guard down a bit.
Holly: “Hello Anthony...”
Glacier: “Holly...”
Holly just remains quiet as Glacier just turns away
for a moment before looking at her.
Glacier: “What?”
Holly: “This isn’t...this isn’t you-“
Glacier just smirks, looking away.
Glacier: “You wouldn’t know. It’s been a while.”
Glacier then turns and walks off, dragging Amber off
with him. Holly just watches him leave before turning to Jessica. Jessica just
backs up a bit as Holly just lets out a deep breath and leaves as we get back
to ringside.
At ringside, the scaffold can be seen no longer in
place with the posts used to keep it in place removed from the ring.
Dawson: “Unbelievable. He’s heartless.”
Sharper: “Yeah, but he’s confident. And Davis now
has to deal with another obstacle later tonight when he faces Glacier in a
first blood match.”
The instrumental starts to play for Styx's 'Mr
Roboto'. A light shines down on the massive stage and from underneath, Roboto
rises up and looks around before turning and looking back behind him. The crowd
boos him as the music turns to “Path of Decay” and several lights spin around
before focusing on the area Roboto stands before Sketch Retro walks out from
the back. The crowd boos more as Sketch Retro jumps up and down in the middle
of the light.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is
schedule for one-fall. On his way to the ring, accompanied by Master Roboto,
hailing from beyond the Spectrum, Sketch Retro!”
Sketch Retro turns to Roboto who just smiles and nods before Retro starts to
make his way down to the ring.
Sharper: “Well this match is an interesting one.
Roboto has used the moment that took Sketch Retro, formerly Loki, out for two
years as motivation. Let’s go back to Apocalypse 2007. Yes, that’s right, three
years ago, for this moment.”
The closing moments of the
battle between Lawler and Loki are shown as Loki jumps up and attempts a hurricanrana.
Lawler however catches him before just slamming him down with a vicious
powerbomb right in the middle of the ring.
Dawson: “And there’s the powerbomb that ended
Loki’s career momentarily.”
The powerbomb is shown again
from another angle before showing it in slow motion and showing Loki’s head
bouncing off the mat. The video resumes as it shows Lawler then kneeling
forward and hooking the leg for the pin.
1!
2!
3!
The video then ends and we go
back live.
Sharper: “That powerbomb knocked Loki unconscious.
He had suffered a concussion and only recently was able to get over that event
to return to his career.”
Knots: “And Roboto has done a wonderful job with
the little idiot.”
Sketch Retro jumps down from the top rope as he is
now in the ring and he walks around before starting to pace a bit before going
over to Roboto as Roboto keeps his attention.
Knots: “Time for him to get his revenge!”
Sharper: “Revenge? It’s three years ago and it was
an accident. One thing we’ve neglected to mention is at the time, Lawler was
trying to toughen the kid up because of some bad decisions he had made.”
Knots: “Toughen him up! He knocked him out!”
Dawson: “I remember Lawler being remorseful after
that.”
Knots: “Pfft...so what!”
"Until the Whole World Hears" by hits
over the sound system. The crowd roars a bit as the spotlights focus on the
stage and we see Chris Lawler start to walk out from the back. He looks out at
the crowd before looking down at the ring and just shaking his head, almost in
regret. He then starts to make his way down to the ring.
Phillips: “Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, he is
his opponent, Chris Lawler!”
Lawler takes a few more steps before stopping in
the middle of the rampway and dropping down to his knees. He then brings his
hands together and mouths a prayer before then slowly pulling himself up. He
takes a deep breath and then continues on his way down the long entrance way
and over to the mats. He looks up at Retro and Retro just stands in the ring
ready for Lawler. Lawler then goes to move towards the ring and Retro suddenly
runs at Lawler and attempts a baseball slide. Lawler, however, sidesteps it and
Retro slides to the floor. Lawler then nails him with a hard right and Retro
staggers back as the crowd roars.
Sharper: “Retro not wasting any time. He’s been
waiting for revenge.”
Dawson: “But let’s not forget. Lawler has tried to
move past the past. What did he get for it? Paint in the eyes and an attack
from behind!”
Lawler nails him again and then grabs him before
rolling him into the ring. Lawler slides in afterwards and the bell sounds.
Lawler gets up, but Retro, using his quickness jumps up and dropkicks Lawler
back, causing him to fall to the ropes. Retro pops back up and then runs across
the ring and bounces off the ropes. Lawler moves forward and Retro jumps up and
hits a spinning heel kick. He then turns and hooks the leg for the pin.
1!
2!
Lawler kicks out. Lawler starts to pull himself up
as Retro gets up and just stands back. He then looks at Lawler before kicking
him in the ribs. He then grabs the arm of Lawler and wrenches it before running
towards the corner, but Lawler just yanks him back and Retro rolls through. He
gets up and Lawler turns and runs at him and clotheslines him down.
Dawson: “Lawler obviously with the strength
advantage as seen there.”
Sharper: “But Retro with the speed advantage.”
Knots: “And as they say, speed kills.”
Retro slowly gets up as Roboto smacks the ring
apron in anger. Lawler turns and grabs him and knees him in the ribs. He then
turns and whips Retro into the ropes. Retro bounces off the ropes and Lawler
moves forward and hoists him up and back drops him down. Retro rolls over,
holding his back in pain and he turns around and stumbles over to Lawler only
for Lawler to scoop him up onto his shoulder. Lawler turns and goes to run
towards the corner, but Retro slides down. Lawler stops himself before going
into the corner, but Retro jumps up and dropkicks him in the back. Lawler falls
forward and hits chest first into the top turnbuckle. Retro then turns and
rolls him up in a school boy.
1!
2!
Lawler kicks out. Retro falls back and then grabs
the ropes before climbing through them and onto the apron. He then looks at
Lawler as Lawler slowly starts to get up. Retro then jumps up and hits a
springboard to the top turnbuckle and then dives forward and hits a missile
dropkick. Lawler stumbles back and falls to his back before rolling to the
ropes. Retro smiles as he gets up. He then looks at Lawler before running at
him and hitting a baseball slide, knocking him off the apron and to the floor.
Dawson: “Retro is not holding up at all.”
Sharper: “The question really may be how much of
this is Roboto’s doing. Retro is a speedy son of a gun, but he’s never had this
intensity.”
Knots: “Well that intensity is making Chris Lawler
struggle to do anything. And Chris Lawler’s had big Rise to Greatness matches
in the past. Retro, not so much!”
Lawler slowly starts to get up on the floor and
Loki smiles before exiting to the apron. He then looks at Lawler and jumps off
and hits a jump kick. Lawler falls back and falls onto the announce table.
Retro walks around at ringside before turning and running at Lawler only for
Lawler to nail him with a boot. Retro drops down and rolls over. He slowly
stirs and Lawler grabs him and again, throws him into the ring. Lawler rolls in
this time and Retro starts to get up only for Lawler to get up behind him and
scoop him up only to drop him with a sidewalk slam. He then pulls back on the
legs.
1!
2!
Retro rolls his shoulder off the mat and rolls
over. He then starts to crawl over towards the ropes as Lawler gets back up.
Retro gets to the ropes as Roboto walks over and looks right at him, shouting at
him. Retro turns around and Lawler kicks him in the ribs before hooking his arm
and hoisting him up. He then holds him up in the air before falling back with a
hanging vertical suplex. Retro rolls over, arching his back in pain. Lawler
just glares at Roboto as Retro again starts to pull himself up.
Knots: “Look at this kid! The fight! The passion!”
Dawson: “Yeah. Sure. We’re not taking anything away
from his skills. It’s his influences we’re concerned about!”
Lawler walks over and grabs him before turning him
around into the corner. He then nails him with a back elbow. Lawler backs up
and nails him again before then driving his knee into the ribs of Retro. Retro
winces and Lawler then grabs him and whips him across the ring. Retro runs
towards the corner and suddenly runs up the turnbuckle and dives back for a
corkscrew moonsault, but Lawler, holds back, not chasing after him and Retro
just crashes to the mat. The crowd ohs with some cheers and Lawler then runs
over and drops an elbow before going for the pin.
1!
2!
Retro kicks out again. Lawler grabs Retro and
starts to lift him up. He then kicks him in the ribs. He then hoists him up and
gutwrench suplexes him down. Lawler then turns and walks over to the ropes. He
exits to the apron and glares at Roboto again before walking over to the corner
and starts to climb up to the top rope. The crowd starts to roar as Roboto
slowly stirs.
Sharper: “Lawler is not a high-flier by any means.
And yet, he’s going to go to Sketch Retro’s game!”
Knots: “And that may backfire!”
Dawson: “No kidding!”
Sketch Retro slowly stirs and manages to get
himself up, but is clearly lost to where he is only for Lawler to then dive off
and drill Retro with a flying clothesline. The crowd roars and Lawler turns and
hooks the leg for the pin.
1!
2!
Retro gets his shoulder up. The crowd sighs
slightly and Lawler rolls over. He then turns around and looks at Retro before
dragging him up slowly. He then turns and whips him into the ropes. Retro bounces
off the ropes and Lawler attempts a big boot to the face. Retro slides under
him. He then hops up and Lawler turns around and Retro jumps up and hits a
dropsault. Lawler rolls over and gets up and Retro turns and runs at him and
jumps up onto his shoulders. He then looks around before Lawler throws him
forward. Retro, however, lands on his feet before jumping up and nailing Lawler
with a dropkick. Lawler falls back to the ropes. Retro turns and runs at
Lawler, but Lawler manages to reach up and grabs Retro by the throat. The crowd
starts to cheer.
Dawson: “Chokeslam! He caught him!”
Sharper: “That goozle around the neck. Retro was
caught!”
Lawler starts to stand up as Retro looks at him in
shock. Lawler then hoists him up and drops him with a chokeslam. The crowd
cheers and Lawler drops down for the pin.
1!
2!
Retro shoots his shoulder up. The crowd ohs and
Lawler looks at him. He then slowly gets up before grabbing Retro. He slowly
drags him up and then lifts his arm before hoisting him up onto his shoulders.
He goes for the Lawler Cutter, but Retro knees him in the side of the head and
then again. He then jumps up and takes Lawler down with a hurricanrana. Retro
slowly crawls away as Roboto cheers him on. Retro gets up and Lawler rolls over
and slowly gets up before Retro jumps up and hits a DDT. Lawler flips over and
Retro turns and runs over to the corner as best as he can. He then looks back,
wincing before springboarding to the top rope. He then glances back and dives
back before hitting a moonsault onto Lawler. Lawler rolls over in pain and
Retro rolls over and gets up. He then smiles as he waits for Lawler to get up
to his feet.
Dawson: “Retro is getting ready perhaps to end
this. Lawler is in pain. He’s grabbing his ribs.”
Sharper: “That moonsault hit perfectly and Retro
didn’t go for the pin. I don’t know how wise that is.”
Knots: “Oh who cares? When you’re pissed off, you
want to take out some anger on them. I guarantee you’ll probably say that later
tonight multiple times!”
Sharper: “Well you have me there in terms of the
first point. The second I’m sure you’re remind us about!”
Lawler slowly stirs and turns to Retro and Retro
runs at him and flips up for the Samurai Driver, but as he gets up onto the
shoulders of Lawler, Lawler slams him down with a vicious release powerbomb.
The crowd ohs and Lawler falls to his knees as Retro just lays spread eagle on
the mat. Roboto just looks angered at ringside.
Sharper: “Powerbomb! Shades of Apocalypse 2007!”
Knots: “He killed the kid again!”
Lawler then drops down and hooks the leg for the
pin, shaking his head.
1!
2!
Sketch shoots his shoulder up. The crowd ohs and
Lawler looks down. Roboto just smiles before Lawler looks over to him. He then bends
over and grabs Sketch. He then slowly hoists him up before looking at Roboto.
He then lifts him up onto his shoulders. He spins him out and plants him with
the Lawler Cutter. The crowd ohs and Lawler then rolls over and hooks the leg
again on Sketch.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd roars and Lawler then gets up and looks
at Roboto. Roboto just takes a deep breath. He then points at Lawler and starts
to yell at him. Lawler turns back to Sketch Retro before looking down and
shaking his head. He then starts to walk over to the ropes. “Until the Whole
World Hears” plays throughout the arena.
Dawson: “And Lawler plants Sketch Retro with the
Lawler Cutter to do it.”
Sharper: “And Chris Lawler gets a bit of revenge
for what a Roboto guided Sketch Retro has done.”
Phillips: “And here is your winner....Chris
Lawler!”
Lawler steps through the ropes and drops down to
the mat. He then looks around before smiling before starting to make his way
down the entrance. Roboto enters the ring and goes over to Sketch before just
looking down. The referee checks on him before Roboto glances over to Lawler as
he makes his exit.
Sharper: “Well as Lawler makes his exit, we’re
going to see another match, but one that’s going to be far more brutal. Xander
Valentine returned last month at Taking Hold of the Flame. Since then, Chad Evans
has wanted to make his legacy off of him.”
Dawson: “And tonight, in rematch from two years ago
at this event, they will do battle and with how Chad Evans has gone after him,
he’s going to want to make history, but which Xander Valentine will show up?”
The scene then slowly starts to fade to black.
RECAP:
Sharper: “He is the most
dominant force that SCW has ever seen!”
A shot of an individual being
slammed hard on the mat in black and white is shown.
Johnson: “This man is sick! He’s
sadistic!”
We see a shot of someone
bleeding slowly getting up only to be kicked in the face.
Dawson: “Arguably one of the
most unstoppable champions of all time.”
Sharper: “He has defeated
legends.”
A shot of CHBK, close up, is
seen being powerbombed hard to the mat.
Dawson: “He started his career
going twenty-five and zero!”
Johnson: “World Champion after
just three months!”
We then see a shot of someone
struggling to reach the ropes, locked in a standing dragon sleeper. We see
another shot of someone being powerbombed off the top rope, before going to
another individual just being thrown down after going unconscious after the
standing dragon sleeper. The camera then turns and focuses on the face of the
individual.
Sharper: “Xander
Valentine....who can stop him!”
The camera focuses on Xander
Valentine as the “Xander Valentine returns....” followed by the Taking Hold of
the Flame logo appears on the screen, before the scene starting to static and
the sound breaks up before Evans voice is heard over the flickering image of
Xander Valentine’s impending return.
Evans: “Last Breakdown, I sat at
home and nearly vomited upon seeing the masturbation this company held for
Xander Valentine. He’s returning at Taking Hold of the Flame.
Whoop-di-friggin’-do! Chad Evans is returning and Chad Evans is above SCW’s
Executioner. He’s above all. I signed up for the battle royal and what do I
get...I have to sneak into the backstage area, flashing my network pass and
steal a microphone just to be heard. What kind of bullshit is this?!”
The Taking Hold of the Flame
logo then flashes on the screen before we then see Xander Valentine with
Christy Matthews on the top rope. The crowd erupts in cheers as they start to
get ready for the Martial Bane! The crowd rises to their feet and Chad Evans
suddenly runs across the ring and jumps up and nails Xander from behind.
Xander’s weight goes forward and Christy and Xander both fall over the top rope
and both crash to the floor. The cheers turn into immense boos as Chad Evans
backs up smirking. Xander glares back as Chad then tauntingly waves at him.
Sharper: “Chad Evans just did
what he said he was going to. He just eliminated Xander Valentine, but also
Christy Matthews!”
Dawson: “And that look of hatred
on the eyes of Xander Valentine says it all.”
The scene slowly fades to black
before fading back into Breakdown to see Xander Valentine walking out to the
ring, before showing him in the ring, and then showing him speaking.
Xander: “It has been a long time
since I last appeared here on Breakdown. A lot has changed. People aren’t
talking about me all too much. They’re talking about Jake Starr or Josh Hudson
or Jason Zero....Good for them. But see, the main reason for that is that I’ve
been away from the business for a long time. In fact, Taking Hold of the Flame,
that was the first time I was in that ring since 2008.”
Xander pauses.
Xander: “And that was when I
walked into Rise to Greatness and I had a nice little match against Chad
Evans.”
A quick still of Rise to
Greatness 2008 plays, showing Xander Valentine and Chad Evans staring across
from each other before switching to a still of Chad nailing Xander Valentine
with a steel chair, before cutting to a still of Chad and Xander with their
arms over one another.
Phillips: “The referee has
declared that this match is a draw!”
Dawson: “What the hell was
that?”
Sharper: “I don’t know. Evans
intentionally threw this match! Why?”
We then go back to the shot of
Xander in the ring.
Xander: “That’s why I’m here
right now. Because Chad, I know that you want nothing more right now to revive
your career than to destroy Xander Valentine in front of the world. And
Chad....I wouldn’t mind finishing off what I failed to do two years ago!”
The crowd can be heard cheering.
Sharper: “Oh my God! Xander
Valentine and Chad Evans at Rise to Greatness!”
Suddenly, the scene switches to
show Chad Evans running through the crowd and sliding into the ring He then runs
over and takes out of the leg of Xander Valentine with a chopblock. The crowd
ohs and Xander falls back, holding his knee. Chad then turns and stomps away at
the back of Xander’s leg as the crowd starts to boo loudly.
Sharper: “Chad Evans! He’s striking
Xander Valentine! Where’d he come from?!”
Knots: “I think he came from the
crowd! I think he was here the entire time!”
Chad hitting the Overturn on
Xander Valentine is seen as the music audibly changes before cutting to a shot
of Chad Evans laying over Xander Valentine with a microphone in his hand.
Chad: “Xander....it’ll be my
honour to be known as the man who took Xander Valentine away from all of these
leeches.....but Xander....you need to remember something....God...is
everywhere!”
The music comes to a brief end
before the new music starts to tinker in the background as we hear laughter
over it before the distorted voice of Chad Evans comes up.
Chad: “Oh come now. I’m sick of
dealing with the antics of SCW security. And instead, just like I said last
time...I am everywhere.”
More laughter is heard as the
crowd roars and then boos a bit. Before Xander Valentine is shown coming out
from the back in slow motion, looking around.
Chad: “And since I’m not here...I
could be anywhere. I proved that last Breakdown, right Xander. So where am I? I
could be in the arena...or I could be at home. I could be in Los Angeles
soaking up some son. Or maybe not.”
Another pause comes as Xander
continues to look around.
Chad: “So Xander...I have a
question....How’s Calli Bennett doing?”
Xander glaring can be seen
before cutting to a black and white shot of Dillusion vs. Xander from July 7.
Calli: “Xander?! XANDER!”
Xander looking up and around.
Xander: “Calli! Calli!”
We then cut to see Xander
running through the back before cutting to a shot of him at the production
truck.
Producer: “It was a tape. Chad
asked us to play it at the end of your match. He sent it a few days ago. From
his home...”
Xander just turns around and
looks down, clearly shaken, before turning and leaning on the door.
Xander: “That son of a bitch.
THAT SON OF A BITCH! He’s dead! You want to play games! Get ready
God.......AHHHH!”
Xander lets out a yell before
barging out of the production truck as we go to ringside.
Sharper: “Oh my God.”
Dawson: “I guess Chad Evans
wanted to play some mind games, but he got right under the skin of Xander.”
Knots: “He’s making sure he’s
got the best chance to execute the Executioner.”
Xander is shown shaking his head
before we hear Dillusion’s voice sound in the background.
Dillusion: “I was going to ask
if you’re here. But I know that’s not the case...What the hell is wrong with
YOU? I was waiting for you to return. I was thinking it would be like the old
days. We could show everyone what true violence is. Jerry was excited too. But
then you go around running around crying about Calli. I miss Calli too...but
damn....Chad already has you beat.”
Flashes of Xander coming out as
Dillusion, brandishing his chair, walked to the back later that same night is
shown before showing Xander lifting Dillusion up by the throat.
Sharper: “Xander Valentine! I
think he got the message, Dillusion!”
Dawson: “And if you go up, you
must come down!”
Xander holds him up for a moment
longer before then just stopping. He then brings Dillusion down and the crowd
starts to boo a bit. Xander just looks down before shaking his head. He then turns
around, almost, regretting his coming out to the arena area, but Dillusion
quickly lifts his chair and drills Xander in the back. The crowd ohs and Xander
falls down to the steel. Dillusion then throws the chair down. He looks at
Xander in disgust before starting to back away, shaking his head as he exits to
the back.
Knots: “He couldn’t do it!”
Sharper: “Xander Valentine...his
emotions have been all over the place. But is Dillusion right...is he no longer
the Xander Valentine of old? And if that’s the case, Chad Evans clearly has the
advantage!”
The scene focuses on the sight
of Xander Valentine downed on the rampway before Dillusion’s voice echoes
again.
Dillusion: “I miss Calli
too...but damn....Chad already has you beat...beat....beat.....”
A cello can be heard throughout the arena, echoing
as the lights are dimmed. The crowd starts to cheer louder as the violin and
the drums parts enter “Out of the Abyss” by Judgment Day. As the music picks
up, fire shoots high into the air from the stage and from the entrance set as
well. A few moments pass and a hooded figure, dressed in a long cloak, complete
with hood, almost resembling that of an executioner’s cloak, aside from the
hood, walks out. He then slowly looks up, revealing himself to be Xander
Valentine as the cheer continues.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is
scheduled for one-fall, first on his way
to the ring, from Rochester, New York, he is SCW’s Executioner, Xander
Valentine!”
He stands there tall, staring down the stage as the
cheers continue. He then starts to make his way down the rampway, looking
entirely focused the entire way. Several fans reach out, attempting to touch
him, but are unable to. He continues on his way to the ring before walking over
towards the mats and then walking up to the ring. He looks up before jumping up
onto the apron before stepping over the top rope. He then walks over to the far
corner and climbs to the second rope and throws his arms up, throwing the hood
off of his head. The crowd roars again as Xander just looks out at the crowd.
Sharper: “Xander Valentine focused in his quest to
take out Chad Evans. Two years ago, they met at this stage. It was
controversial. This time, however, things I doubt will turn out that way.”
Knots: “They both want to destroy each other and
Chad Evans has made a point of getting into the head of Xander Valentine.
You’ve seen it the last two months. He hasn’t been going for the jugular. He’s
been just normal. He’s not Xander Valentine.”
Sharper: “And Dillusion drove that point home by
nailing Xander Valentine in the back with a steel chair after Xander failed to
attack him on Breakdown.”
“Broken Dreams” by Shamans Harvest begins to play
in the background as Xander turns and looks to the entrance way. Gold hues
shine down along the stage and the entrance way itself as the boos start to
grow. Smoke starts to form along the stage as the rest of the lights then go
out and one golden spotlight compliments the golden hues, illuminating the
figure of Chad Evans, dressed in a white robe with short sleeves and a hood
over his head. Chad then throws off his hood before stretching his arms out and
starting to slowly spin around as sparks start to fall from the top of the entrance
set, raining down behind Chad Evans. Chad finishes his spin before looking down
at the ring and smirking. He then starts to slowly make his way down the
rampway.
Phillips: “And his opponent, hailing from Heaven on
Earth, he is the self-proclaimed Deity of SCW and God Himself, Chad Evans!”
Chad continues on his way down the rampway as the
boos continue to come from the crowd. He makes his way down the long walkway
before walking over to the steel steps. He then walks up them before walking
onto the apron and then climbing up onto the second rope and throwing his arm
in the air. The boos grow louder at this point as Chad locks eyes with Xander
Valentine.
Sharper: “There’s a look for both of them to the
other that could kill.”
Dawson: “Chad Evans’ jealousy is what has motivated
him. Xander’s competitive spirit initially did the same for him...but then Chad
Evans decided to play his mind games, claiming he was everywhere. And now what
actually does motivate Xander Valentine?”
Sharper: “Revenge? Pride? Rage? Take your pick.
Only Xander Valentine knows.”
Chad hops over the top rope and lands in the ring.
Xander Valentine just watches him as Chad slowly takes off his robe and then
places it outside of the ring. He then turns around as the referee walks over
to the middle of the ring and Chad’s music starts to fade. The crowd starts to
roar as Xander and Chad Evans just stand in their own corners.
Dawson: “And both are just waiting for that bell.”
Knots: “As soon as it rings, expect a war!”
Xander and Chad wait for a moment longer and the
referee then calls for the bell and the crowd roars as Xander and Chad
immediately come out and run at each other and Xander nails Chad with a hard
right, only for Chad to wince before throwing a hard right of his own. Xander
nails Chad again. Chad fires back with one of his own. Xander fires again and
Chad fires back. Both then grab each other before both starting to hammer away
at the ribs of each other. Chad then grabs the hair of Xander and manages to
pull him down, but Xander rolls through and gets the dominant position before
starting to just bring down hard forearms to the jaw of Chad. Chad covers up as
best as he can before rolling over and getting to the ropes. The referee moves
in and starts to pull Xander off of him. Xander just looks at the referee and
glares before getting up. Chad rolls over and slowly gets up and Xander moves
back in only for Chad to poke him in the eye with his thumb. Xander turns away
and Chad walks over and clubs him in the back and Xander loses his balance,
falling to his hands and knees.
Sharper: “And a thumb to the eye allows Chad to
take control!”
Dawson: “He has no problem cheating to get ahead.
That’s something Xander Valentine will have to look out for.”
Knots: “Well with how these two are going at it,
something like that, he may not be able to look out for and when he hits it, it
may be game over!”
Chad then stomps Xander in the back. He then stomps
him again and Xander rolls over. Chad then dives down and drives his straight
right hand to the jaw of Xander. Chad then turns and mounts Xander before
firing at Xander with a couple of hard rights before then starting to go at him
with hard rights and lefts. Chad then gets off of Xander as the crowd boos. Chad
walks around the ring and then stretches his arms out, getting more boos from
the crowd. Xander rolls over and slowly starts to get up and Chad turns and
runs over and kicks him in the stomach. He then nails him with a hard right.
Chad then grabs Xander and lifts him up to his feet and nails him with a hard
right. Xander stumbles back and falls to the corner. Chad then turns and nails
him with a hard elbow before backing up and driving his shoulder into the ribs
of Xander. He backs up and nails him again. He drives his shoulder into the
ribs of Xander again before backing up. He then looks at Xander and smirks
before jumping up and hitting a dropkick to the head. Xander falls back and
then falls forward to his hands and knees again.
Dawson: “Chad Evans is just now methodically taking
apart Xander Valentine.”
Knots: “And see how fast that fire evaporated!
Chad’s got him! Chad’s got him exactly where he wants.”
Sharper: “Come on Jonathan. Xander Valentine isn’t
just going to fold, for any reason.”
Chad then turns and crawls over to Xander and
places his throat on the bottom rope before pulling back on the rope and
placing his knee into the spine of Xander. Xander struggles to breathe,
reaching for anything to give him leverage, and pulling up on the ring cover.
The referee moves in and starts to call for the break.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Chad rolls off of him and sits next to Xander,
throwing his arms in the air. He then turns and looks at Xander before rolling
back over and placing his knee into the back of Xander and choking it again.
The crowd boos loudly as Xander again struggles to breathe. The referee again
calls for the break.
1!
2!
3!
4!
Chad rolls off and this time goes to his knees as
the referee snaps at him. Chad just smirks before getting up and turning and
stomping Xander in the back of the head. Xander rolls over and into the corner.
Knots: “Look at this!”
Dawson: “Chad Evans is taking apart one of the most
dominant forces in SCW history.”
Knots: “You can’t argue with me here. Chad Evans is
destroying Xander Valentine and what counter has he had. He had a little bit of
fire at the start, but since that eye poke, Chad Evans has spent the first part
of this match having his way with Xander!”
Chad turns and stomps Xander again. Xander tries to
cover up, but Chad just smirks and kicks him in the ribs before stomping him in
the face. He then grabs Xander and slowly lifts him out of the corner. He then
turns and drives him face first into the turnbuckle. Xander turns and Chad just
looks at him and gets in his face. He grabs Xander by the jaw and yells at him
before smacking Xander across the face. The crowd ohs and Xander just remains
turned away. Chad then smacks him again and smirks before grabbing Xander and
Xander just then pushes him away. Chad rolls through and ends up on his feet
before getting up and Xander just drills him with a boot to the face. Chad
falls back and rolls all the way out of the ring.
Sharper: “Oh! How’s that for coming back! A straight
kick to the jaw!”
Knots: “Okay, okay. Maybe Xander’s not done yet.”
Sharper: “The impact sent Chad Evans right out of
the ring and Xander Valentine is walking across and going to meet him out
there!”
Xander Valentine walks across the ring and then
steps through the ropes as Chad gets up. Xander lands on the floor and kicks
Chad in the ribs. He then lifts him up and drops him chest first on the
barricade.(1) Xander then smiles before grabbing Chad and kneeing him in the
ribs. He then turns and spins him around and throws him chest and shoulder
first into the barricade. Chad falls over and sits next to the barricade. (2)
Xander then turns and boots him in the face again. Chad rolls over and Xander
bends over and grabs him and looks at him. (3)
He then gets in his face before Xander turns and throws Chad hard into
the steel steps. Chad goes shoulder first and falls over as the top half
topples over.(4) Xander just looks at him as Chad rolls over, holding his
shoulder in pain. Xander then starts to walk over to him.
Dawson: “Xander Valentine throwing Chad Evans into
the steel steps.”
Sharper: “And they don’t give a whole lot. Yeah,
the top half comes off, but you need to unhook them to do that. That’s the
impact at which Chad was thrown!”
Xander walks over to Chad and lifts him up before
then scooping him up and turning before throwing him down with a powerslam on
the floor! (5) The crowd ohs and cheers as Chad winces in pain and rolls over
to his stomach. Xander then bends over and grabs him and lifts him up. (6). He
then turns and throws him into the ring. Chad rolls over and Xander pulls
himself up onto the apron and enters the ring. He then looks at Chad as Chad
rolls over and starts to beg off, pushing himself back away from Xander. Xander
just runs at him and stomps him in the face. Chad rolls over and gets back up
and turns to Xander who nails him with a hard right. He then turns and whips
Chad into the ropes. Chad bounces off the ropes and Xander scoops him up before
dropping him with a sidewalk slam. He then turns and thinks about going for a
pin, but then just shakes his head. He then grabs Chad and starts to lift him
back up.
Knots: “Why the hell isn’t he going for the pin?!”
Sharper: “I don’t know. He had the chance. But I
guess he wants to cause more pain and punishment!”
Xander then turns and whips him into the corner.
Chad hits the turnbuckle chest first and stumbles back and Xander grabs him. He
then hoists him up, but Chad flips through. Chad then suddenly grabs Xander and
drops him back with an inverted facelock backbreaker. The crowd ohs as Xander
grimaces in pain. Chad then rolls over and slowly gets up. Xander turns and
looks up to Chad and Chad kicks Xander in the face. Xander pops up. Xander
staggers back and Chad then jumps up and nails Xander with a vicious jumping
enziguri. The impact echoes throughout Cowboys Stadium. The crowd ohs as Xander
just falls to his hands and knees and then is very slow to fall to his side.
Chad just smiles. He then looks at Xander and grabs him by the head and looks
at him.
Sharper: “Oh God! You heard that!”
Knots: “That might do it. Xander just slowly
crumpled after the kick!”
Dawson: “He may be out here!”
Chad then grabs Xander and slowly lifts him up. He
then drags him up before just letting him fall to his knees. Chad backs up and
smiles before swinging his foot and drilling Xander in the back of the head
with a vicious kick. Xander falls forward and the referee then moves in and
Chad then gets up and yells at the referee.
Chad: “Check him! CHECK HIM!”
The referee looks at Chad before going over to
Xander. Xander however slowly rolls over, throwing his arm up and showing some
life. The referee checks on Xander and Xander just nods, responding. Chad just
glares at the referee before moving in and stomping Xander in the back of the
head.
Dawson: “Is Chad Evans trying to knock Xander
Valentine out?”
Knots: “That would be huge. No one has ever done
it!”
Sharper: “Oh God! Chad Evans wants to prove his
legend so bad that he’s willing to go to these lengths to ensure it!”
Chad then drops down and clubs at the back of
Xander’s head. Xander tries to cover up as best as he can before Chad gets up
and walks around the ring. He then grabs Xander and slowly lifts him up. He
then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and attempts a
clothesline to the back of Xander’s head, but Xander ducks and steps back. Chad
stops at the ropes and turns around and Xander runs at him and nails him with a
Yakuza kick, knocking Chad up and over the top rope and to the floor.
Sharper: “Whoa! Another boot, this time of the
Yakuza variety and Chad Evans goes to the floor again!”
Knots: “Stay away from his feet!”
Chad slowly pulls himself up on the floor and
Xander reaches through the ropes and grabs him by the hair and pulls, pulling
him onto the apron. The referee reprimands Xander for the hair pull, but Xander
then gets up and grabs Chad before just hoisting him up and hip tossing him
into the ring. Chad rolls over and gets up only for Xander to kick him in the
ribs before hooking his arm and then lifting him up and planting him with a
brainbuster. The crowd ohs as Chad just rolls to his side. Xander sits up. He
then looks down before looking at Chad before getting up and walking over to
him. He looks down at him before bending over and grabbing Chad. Chad slowly
stirs and Xander just lifts him up before then grabbing him and kneeing him
right in the chest. Chad falls back and down to his elbows and knees and Xander
then grabs him and lifts him up before hoisting him up onto the top turnbuckle.
The crowd starts to roar and Xander then turns and nails him with an uppercut
and Chad nearly falls back. Xander climbs up and gets to the middle rope. He
then grabs Chad and bends him over, double underhooking him.
Knots: “Oh no! Oh no! This isn’t good for God!”
Sharper: “Martial Bane could be coming up!”
Dawson: “It’s been years since we’ve seen it! Will
he hit it!”
Xander then hoists Chad up, but Chad manages to
flip up only to then slide down the back of Xander. He rolls through and turns.
Xander turns around and Chad suddenly runs at the corner and dropkicks Xander
in the knee, causing Xander to fall forward and face first into the mat. Chad,
however, rolls over, holding his ankle in pain after the move. He slowly pulls
himself up and starts to limp around. Xander rolls over, holding his face in
pain as heavy boos come from all over.
Dawson: “Chad’s ankle could be hurt.”
Knots: “Don’t worry about that! Walk it off!
Xander’s down. Take him out for good!”
Chad Evans then stomps Xander in the head. He then
turns and stomps him again and Xander rolls over and onto the apron. Chad Evans
walks over and stomps him again. Xander falls over to the floor. Chad then steps
through as the referee tells him to get back. Xander pulls himself up and Chad
kicks him in the ribs before grabbing him by the head.(1) He then pulls back
and sets up for the Overturn on the floor. Xander however turns around and
lifts Chad up.(2) He then turns and runs Chad hard, head and neck first into
the steel steps. The crowd ohs and Chad just leans back on the steel steps half
out of it. The referee stops his count and drops down to check on Chad. Xander
however pushes him out of the way before backing up and then turning and
nailing him with a vicious running boot to the face, sandwiching Chad into the
ringpost and steel steps. The crowd ohs and Chad just limps down from the shot.
Xander then walks forward, fuming clearly. The crowd then cheers as Xander lets
out a primal yell. The referee drops down and checks on him.
Sharper: “Good lord! A boot to the face!”
Knots: “God’s head was just smushed in there!”
Sharper: “Oh God! And the rage coming from the body
of Xander Valentine!”
Dawson: “I think Chad’s out of it!”
Sharper: “We can see him in front of us. The
referee is checking on him.”
Xander turns around and goes to go after him, but
the referee stands up and pushes him back. He then turns and calls for the
bell. The crowd roars and then boos a bit as Xander looks at the referee
confused. The referee turns and talks to Jason Phillips before turning back and
checking on Chad.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has
decided to stop this match and your winner via knockout and referee stoppage,
Xander Valentine!”
The crowd cheers and Xander just looks at Chad
before slowly calming himself down. The referee checks on Chad as a couple of
other officials start to jog down from the back. Chad still remains out of it
as Xander Valentine backs away before turning and starting to make his way
around. Chad Evans rolls over and starts to try and pull himself up before
falling over.
Sharper: “So the referee has ended this match...but
Chad...I think he wants to fight.”
Dawson: “He doesn’t know where the hell he is!”
Chad rolls over and the referee then keeps him
down. Chad looks up at Xander, but the camera gets a shot of him and his eyes
are glassed over. He stumbles over again into the barricade as the crowd
continues to roar. Xander just leaves the ringside area without looking back as
the scene fades to black.
The scene opens up in front of a
shower. The sound of water coming down is heard. Just then the shower stall
opens and Jake Starr is seen randomly standing in the shower with a towel on,
holding a bottle of “SCW Shampoo.”
Starr: “Do you want to be the coolest
person on the planet? Do you want to watch the greatest and most hard hitting
action on the planet?”
Starr then moves forward and the
towel flies off him as he is seen wearing a pair of cargo shorts. He then walks
forward and jumps over a randomly placed fence before turning and throwing some
hay into a stall for a horse to eat and then continuing, speaking the entire
way.
“Of course you do. You want to be
supreme. You want to be the best. And only the best can be the best, but then
what does that mean for you? If you’re not the best, you can’t be the best, but
you can do the next best thing....”
Starr continues before then walking
into a swamp and walking down before wading in water to his waist and being
tossed a stone from off camera before turning and skipping it across the water,
still talking.
“You can watch Supreme Championship
Wrestling pay per views. They are where the best prove that they’re the best.
And that’s where you can prove that even though you’re not the best, you’re
still cool. Because you can watch the greatest moves...”
Suddenly Jake Starr is shown walking
out of the swamp and starting to walk down a metallic rampway as an arena
starts to form behind him in the background. A random person runs up to him and
he nails him with a hard right.
“...you can watch the greatest
champions...and you can watch the best action available
worldwide.....EXPLODE....”
Starr suddenly is lifted into the
air, as the shorts he was wearing fly off and Starr is seen wearing his tights.
He then lands on the top rope of a ring before diving forward and backflipping
back, simulating the Shooting Five Starr before landing on his feet and
stopping.
“...and let your excitement show. SCW
pay per views...it’s where it’s at.”
Suddenly Jake Starr is drilled by a
superkick. Starr falls back as the bottle of “SCW Shampoo” flies into the air.
CHBK then comes on screen and looks around.
CHBK: “What the hell is this crap?
SCW Shampoo? What the hell are we? Some sort of body wash! We’re damn SCW!
We’re wrestling. Not this crap! Son of a bitch!”
CHBK then turns and storms off. He
steps through the ropes of the partial ring as the man that Starr had knocked
down with a hard right hand starts to get up and CHBK turns and drills him with
a superkick knocking him down.
CHBK: “The world is coming to a damn
end with this crap! I swear to God! We’re all DOOMED!”
CHBK throws his arms in the air
before storming off as the SCW Apocalypse logo then comes up on the screen.
“SCW Apocalypse...live on Pay Per
View on Sunday, September 5, 2010....Apparently....the world is coming to an
end.....”
The scene then slowly fades to black.
The scene reopens inside Cowboys Stadium as the
crowd roars.
Sharper: “Well SCW will next be on pay per view on
September 5th from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, SCW
Apocalypse.”
Dawson: “Yeah and who knows what can happen between
now and then. A whole lot happened between Taking Hold of the Flame and Rise to
Greatness. SCW...always unpredictable.”
The lights in the arena dim as “Lights Out” by
Breaking Benjamin starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd starts to boo
as Brittany Lohan steps out from the back and looks out at the large crowd. She
just glares at the crowd before shaking her head before snarling at those who
jeer her and then continuing on her way to the ring.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following
contest is scheduled for onefall. On her way to the ring, from San Diego,
California, Brittany Lohan!”
Boos come from the crowd as Brittany Lohan
continues to make her way to the ring. She then hops onto the apron and looks
around before stepping through. She then looks around before glaring at the
crowd. She just continues to glare at the crowd as her music fades.
Dawson: “Brittany Lohan has been agitating Stacy
Kissinger for weeks. Tonight she has her wish. Her and Stacy one on one.”
Sharper: “She’s been taunting Stacy by mentioning
her viciousness from the past and Stacy’s change since returning. One has to
wonder whether Stacy will look to channel some of that past or fight this on the
up and up.”
“Girl’s Night Out” by Haley Scarnato begins to play
throughout the arena and the crowd starts to cheer as Stacy Kissinger walks out
from the back. She looks out at the crowd with a huge smile on her face before
stopping in the middle of the spotlight and spinning around. She then stops and
poses as the crowd continues to cheer.
Phillips: “And her opponent, hailing from Dallas,
Texas!”
The crowd explodes with a flurry of cheers for
Kissinger.
Phillips: “She is the Solid-Gold Sensation, Stacy
Kissinger!”
The crowd continues to cheer as she continues on
her way down the rampway, looking out at the ring. She smiles as she continues
to make her way down the ring, jogging a bit before stopping and enjoying her
walk before getting to the steel steps. She looks around before climbing up the
steel steps and walking along the apron. She then enters the ring and looks at
Brittany. Lohan just moves in a bit, but steps back, smirking. Kissinger then
walks over to the corner and climbs up to the top rope. She looks around before
backflipping back and landing on her feet. She then spins around and looks back
at Lohan as her music starts to fade out.
Sharper: “The hometown girl indeed. And can she get
a big win here at Rise to Greatness.”
Knots: “Yeah. Easier said than done. She’s facing a
woman who has no problem breaking bones to make a point. We’ve seen what she’s
done to Ashley Cherry and just standing at the side of Syren and Ravyn. Think
about in the ring one on one.”
Sharper: “No losses in one on one matches via
pinfall or submission. Kissinger, the former US Champion, has a hell of an
uphill battle here.”
Kissinger looks to Lohan as Lohan smiles. The
referee calls for the bell and the crowd roars as Kissinger and Lohan circle
the ring before Lohan and Kissinger both move in to the middle of the ring and
grapple. Kissinger quickly turns and spins around Lohan and grabs her by the
arm and before wrenching the arm. Lohan, however, nails Kissinger with a hard
forearm and then takes her over with a headlock takedown. Lohan then turns and
drives her knee into the face of Kissinger. Kissinger turns, holding her face
and Lohan gets up and drives her knee down into her face again. She then goes
for the pin, hooking the leg.
1!
Kissinger kicks out. She turns and rolls over and
Lohan turns and grabs her and lifts her up before pulling her by the hair and
throwing her into the corner, face first. The referee walks over and warns
Lohan and Lohan just snaps back at the referee before chopping Kissinger across
the chest and the crowd woos.
Dawson: “Lohan already stretching the rules to her
favour.”
Knots: “Nothing wrong with that. This isn’t
unforeseen. Rules are meant to be broken anyways!”
Lohan chops Kissinger again and the crowd woos
again. Lohan then grabs Kissinger and grabs her by the arm before attempting a
hip toss, but Kissinger flips through and then wrenches the arm of Lohan before
kicking her in the knee. Lohan falls to her knee and smiles a bit. Kissinger
then drags her up before pulling her into her arm and kneeing her in the ribs.
Lohan winces and Kissinger then hooks her arm around Lohan’s head and takes her
over with a vertical suplex. The crowd cheers and Lohan starts to get up, as
does Kissinger. Kissinger turns and kicks her in the ribs and then whips her
into the ropes. Lohan bounces off the ropes and Kissinger nails her with a back
elbow. She then turns and runs into the ropes, bouncing off them before jumping
up and hitting an elbow drop to the chest of Lohan. She goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Lohan kicks out. Lohan rolls over and starts to get
up and Kissinger quickly goes over and grabs her by the head with a side
headlock. Lohan, however, gets her legs under her before hoisting Kissinger up
and throwing her back with a back suplex. The crowd ohs and Kissinger holds her
head in pain. Boos then start to come out as Lohan rolls over and smiles.
Sharper: “Hard back suplex and great counter by
Brittany Lohan.”
Knots: “And Kissinger has to look out for that.
Lohan will just power through things. It’s why she’s just THAT good with Dark
Triad!”
Sharper: “Well, we’ll see Lucas Knight in action
later tonight shortly when he faces CHBK and of course, Karnivale will be
defending their Tag Team Championships against Dark Fantasy. All of Dark Triad
and their partnerships are in action tonight.”
Lohan starts to get up as Kissinger stirs. She
starts to get up to her hands and knees and Lohan turns and kicks her in the ribs.
Kissinger rolls over. Lohan then walks over and steps right on the ribs of
Kissinger and leans on the top rope. Kissinger struggles to breathe as the
referee calls for the break and the crowd boos.

apron. She then starts to pull herself up and Lohan walks over and grabs

spins around and leans on the ropes. Lohan then grabs Kissinger and hooks her
arm. She then hoists her up before throwing her back with a hard vertical
suplex. Kissinger holds her back in pain and Lohan rolls over and hooks the
leg.

Kissinger kicks out. The crowd roars a bit as Lohan
looks up and snarls at the referee. She then starts to get up and slowly hoists
Kissinger up as Kissinger tries to regain her vertical base. Lohan then just
nails her with a hard forearm, knocking her back down.
Dawson: “Lohan is staying on Kissinger at every
turn.”
Sharper: “This is almost a pattern. Everyone at
Rise to Greatness wants to ensure they take advantage of these opportunities.
We’ve seen Sketch Retro and Chad Evans both jump right on their opponents,
smothering them if you will and the same here. It’s smart strategy.”
Kissinger starts to pull herself up and Lohan just
smirks as she grabs her and hoists her up. She then nails her again with a hard
forearm before whipping her into the ropes. Kissinger bounces off the ropes and
Lohan attempts a clothesline, only for Kissinger to duck and stop before Lohan
turns around and Kissinger hits a dropkick. Lohan rolls over and Kissinger
turns and grabs her and hits a jawbreaker. Lohan stumbles back. Kissinger then
gets up before turning and running at Lohan, but Lohan turns and nails her with
a back elbow. Kissinger stumbles back and Lohan turns and nails her with a
clothesline. She then turns and goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Kissinger kicks out. Lohan looks down and grabs
Kissinger before dragging her up to a seated position and locking in a dragon
sleeper. The crowd boos as Lohan smiles as she holds onto Kissinger before
nailing her in the ribs with her free arm. Lohan then pulls her back and
Kissinger winces, reaching around as the referee checks on her.
Sharper: “Dragon sleeper locked in. This is not good
for Stacy Kissinger. Lohan has it locked in in the center of the ring. And with
her strength, this could be a quick end!”
Knots: “Lohan just showing how versatile she is.
She can knock you around, but she can also keep you on the ground!”
Lohan pulls back some more and the referee
continues to check on Stacy. Stacy shakes her head as Lohan starts to yell at
Stacy. Stacy continues to shake her head, affirming her will not to tap. Stacy
then tries to bridge up, but Lohan clubs her in the ribs. She drops down as the
crowd boos. She reaches around some more before Lohan tries to scissor Stacy,
but Stacy manages to get her knee up and catches Lohan in the side of the head.
She then gets her knee up again and Lohan falls back, letting go. The crowd
roars and Kissinger rolls over and starts to pull herself up as Lohan gets up
first. She then walks over and grabs Kissinger, but Kissinger shoulders her in
the ribs. She then jumps up and hits another jawbreaker. Lohan staggers back as
Kissinger rolls over. She gets up and Lohan turns and walks forward and
Kissinger jumps up and dropkicks her down. Lohan rolls over, holding her face
in pain. She then starts to slowly pull herself back up as Kissinger grabs the
ropes and gets up to her feet.
Dawson: “Kissinger firing back. Throwing everything
at Lohan.”
Knots: “But she’s still coming.”
Sharper: “Yeah. Lohan still has a lot left in her
tank and Kissinger is going to have to dig deep here.”
Lohan gets up and turns to Kissinger and Kissinger
kicks her in the ribs. She then drops her with a DDT. The crowd roars and
Kissinger rolls over and gets back up. Lohan rolls over and slowly starts to
stir. Kissinger then turns and exits to the apron. She then starts to climb up
to the top rope. Lohan slowly pulls herself up and Kissinger gets to the top
rope and then dives forward and hits a flying clothesline. She then turns and
goes for the pin before hooking the leg.
1!
2!
Lohan kicks out. The crowd ohs and Stacy looks up.
She then turns and slowly starts to pull herself up. She then looks at Lohan
and starts to call her up to her feet. Lohan rolls over and starts to get up
and Stacy runs over and grabs Lohan and takes her down with a swinging
neckbreaker. Stacy then rolls over and gets back up before quickly hitting an elbow
drop.
Dawson: “Great neckbreaker. Lohan is down.”
Sharper: “Lohan’s holding her neck. Stacy had the
desired effect and her latest offense seems to be targeted at the neck!”
Stacy gets up. She then turns and walks over to the
corner. She looks around before exiting to the apron and the crowd starts to
cheer as their hometown girl starts to climb up to the top rope. She gets to
the top and Brittany Lohan rolls over and gets up. She then turns and runs at
Kissinger, but Kissinger jumps up and over her. Kissinger stumbles a bit before
stopping and turning around. Lohan then attempts a bicycle kick, but Kissinger
just manages to side step it. Lohan then turns but Kissinger then jumps up and
plants Lohan with the American Kiss! The crowd cheers and Kissinger turns and
hooks the leg for the pin.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd roars and cheers as Stacy Kissinger rolls
off of Lohan and smiles. She then gets up and the referee walks over and holds
her arm high in the air.
Phillips: “And here is your winner, Stacy
Kissinger!”
Dawson: “Stacy Kissinger gets the win in front of
her own hometown! A huge win for the Solid Gold Sensation!”
Knots: “And she gave Lohan her first pinfall loss!
This is just going to piss Lohan off more!”
Dawson: “Well that may be, but tonight, it’s
Kissinger’s night!”
Kissinger smiles as she then walks over and climbs
up to the middle turnbuckle. She looks around and smiles before jumping down.
She smiles as her music continues to blare throughout the arena. Lohan leaves
the ring as we go backstage.
The scene cuts backstage to see a split screen of
Greg Cherry and Thorn.
|
We see Greg
Cherry grabbing his tights. He looks at them before taking a few deep
breaths. He then turns and hangs up the tights before sitting down and reaching
forward and starting to stretch. |
Thorn looks
in the mirror and nods before turning around and walking over and grabbing
the SCW World Championship. He then turns and places it on the shelf over his
dressing area and just stares at it. |
Sharper: “There you see the two men who will battle
for the SCW World Championship later tonight. It’s the match for all the
marbles.”
Knots: “Thorn is going to make his first SCW World
Championship defense and Greg Cherry is going to try and get back to the top of
the mountain.”
The crowd cheers as the camera remains on both for
a bit longer before cutting backstage.
In the backstage area we see what appears to be a
meeting room of some kind, and as we look inside we find Lucas Knight and Ravyn
Taylor all seated in chairs around a central table. Ravyn is glaring bitterly
at Knight and Knight is definitely not happy to be so close to Ravyn, with whom
he has something of a rivalry over their shared love interest. After a few
seconds of glaring at each other, with Marcus King standing in the corner
looking somewhat ashamed of himself, Syren walks up in front of the table with
her Women’s Championship over her shoulder and a stern look on her face.
Syren: “Ok, so do we know what this is? Yah, that’s right, it’s a championship
and it’s totally mine, ok? I love this belt more than anything else in this
business, this belt has been mine since last October and I don’t ever want to
lose it. I know all three of you have other agendas and stuff, I totally get
that and I’ve never complained about it before, but seriously you guys I really
love my title and last week not only put that in way huge jeopardy but it made
us look totally weak! Like, way weak! In fact Breakdown for us TOTALLY SUCKED!
And tonight isn’t seemingly starting out to well either!”
Marcus King: “It wasn’t that bad...”
Syren glares at him angrily and shakes her head, putting one finger to her
mouth to tell him to be quiet before turning back to the other three, all of
whom are now looking at her with disdain.
Syren: “What, don’t look at me like that because I’m not the one who way
screwed up on Breakdown, am I? Seriously, who’s idea was it to recruit Alex
Desooby Junior? I don’t like him and anyone can see that that was a way bad
idea, he’s probably going to screw you all over and when he does I’ll be like
“ha, told you so” and stuff because I totally did tell you so. Plus I don’t
like his face. But that’s not the point; on top of that Brittany kicked Ravyn
and cost her the match against Holly? Seriously people are always saying that
I’m the dumb one around here but HELLO when was the last time I accidentally
kicked one of you and cost you a match? NEVER, that’s when. This is Rise to
Greatness and all this hatred you people have going on is totally not getting
us anywhere. Even last night...Lucas...you were all argh and stuff....but so
far...it’s not been working and I’ve been thinking!”
Lucas Knight: “Yeah, she’s right. And besides, at least I won at Breakdown
right babe?”
Ravyn Taylor: “You won? Thanks to me you won, if not you’d probably have had
Alex Desoubrais Junior and Rachel Foxx smashing your face in.”
Lucas Knight: “Yeah, says you...”
Syren slams her hands down on the desk in front of her angrily.
Syren: “Um hello, how many more times? I said no fighting, remember?”
Lucas Knight: “God, you remind me of my mother.”
Ravyn Taylor: “Did you have sex with your mother often or...?”
Syren: “Seriously guys, I’m way serious about this. Why can’t you just be
friends? Thanks to your suckiness now I have to face Holly Adams or Marina
Trent and I swear if it’s Marina and she gets all that icky blue stuff on me
I’m going to be so mad and totally blame all of you!”
Lucas Knight: “I could take care of them both for you if you want.”
Syren: “No, you won’t.”
Lucas Knight: “But I could...”
Syren: “No, you won’t! Why is everything about plans and violence with you
people? Remember when we just won matches all the time because we were super
awesome? Now it’s like schemes and plans and stuff that I totally don’t get and
stuff like Breakdown happens and we all look stupid. Plus every time you people
have like an evil scheme I’m the one who suffers, ever noticed that? Lucas
tried to be all evil, CHBK let Gigi Steward attack me from behind when I was so
not ready and drop my face on a chair, which way hurt! You all were all evil;
CHBK told everybody about all my personal life and made things all weird. And
now you guys get all schemey and I end up having to face Marina or Holly.
Seriously, it always works out bad for me!”
She folds her arms bitterly and pouts as Ravyn just smiles at her.
Ravyn Taylor: “Are you done playing leader now?”
Syren: “Yah, I guess. I’m totally right though and you know it!”
Ravyn Taylor: “I’m sorry about Wednesday night, I truly am, but trust me Zoe I
know you can’t see the bigger picture here but there is a bigger picture and it
will be so very glorious when it all comes together. We’ll win the Tag Team
Championship later tonight....and Lucas...well...That is assuming nobody screws
it up...”
Ravyn doesn’t say the last comment, but Lucas stands up throwing his arms in
the air.
Syren: “Oh would you sit down? Seriously you guys need to hug and make up or
something and next time stop being all schemey or whatever because this belt
means way loads to me and our tag team title match tonight means way loads to
me and I don’t want to see it all screwed up. I’m way sick of being stuck in
the middle of stuff.”
The blonde storms out of the meeting room as all three remaining just look at
each other. The camera pans out of the room and down the corridor after Syren
who continues down the corridor until she hears a laugh behind her and spins
around nervously only to find Christy Matthews, of all people, sitting on a
crate with a smile on her face, having watched everything on the monitor.
Christy Matthews: “It’s hard not being in control of your own fate, isn’t
it...”
Syren nods her head slowly, holding her title close to her just in case she
needs to defend herself but to her surprise the former Mrs. Knight just shakes
her head peacefully.
Christy Matthews: “I’ve been meaning to talk to you for a few weeks now. I
wanted to tell you that despite everything I don’t blame you for what happened
between Lucas and me. I’ve had a long time to think about things and I thought
you should know that, but also know this. Nothing with that man is ever simple.
As much as you may want to think you’re in control believe me when I say that
you’re not. Lucas does what he does and all you can do is close your eyes,
enjoy the ride and hope it turns out well at the end.”
Syren: “And what if it doesn’t?”
Christy Matthews: “It never normally does.”
Christy gets up off the crate she’s sitting on and begins to walk away before
turning back to Syren and smiling again.
Christy Matthews: “Oh, and Zoe? Good luck with that belt..and good luck later
tonight. Believe me there’s no better feeling in the world than being a
champion and I wish you all the success in the world because out of everybody
here you probably deserve it the most.”
Christy walks off leaving Syren standing alone in the hallway looking massively
confused. She looks one way at the direction that Christy walked, the other way
back toward the meeting room she just left and shrugs her shoulders at the
camera with absolutely no idea what just happened.
Dawson: “I know it’s not exactly hard to do, but I think that everything that
just happened really confused the hell out of the Women’s Champion.”
Sharper: “Forget her; it confused the hell out of ME! That’s the woman that
ended her marriage and did Christy just wish her luck and actually MEAN it?
Damn, talk about forgiving...”
Knots: “Does anyone else think that Syren would make a fantastic spokeswoman
for that team? No? Just me then...”
We then return to ringside.
The lights in the arena go out as “Empire” by
Machinae Supremacy starts to play throughout the arena. The crowd starts to
cheer as fog starts to come along the stage and a green strobelight shines down
on the entrance way. As the music starts to pick up, James Exeter starts to
walk out from the back and stands in the middle of the strobe light. He looks
down for a moment before then looks up and takes a deep breath. He then starts
to make his way down the rampway.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following
contest is scheduled for one-fall. On his way to the ring, from New York City,
New York, he is the Extraordinary, the Nemesis, James Exeter!”
The crowd roars upon hearing his name as he
continues on his way to the ring, walking with a slight limp. He continues make
his way down before stopping at the end of the entrance way before then running
towards the ring and rolling in. He then rolls up to his feet and gets up
before throwing his arms out and nodding, as the crowd cheers. He then takes
off his jacket before placing it on the outside. James Exeter then turns and
stands at the far end of the ring, looking right down the entrance way.
Sharper: “This is moment James Exeter has been
waiting for. He attacked Damian Angel at Taking Hold of the Flame and since
then, they’ve been escalating in their attacks on one another, all revolving
around the concept of fire.”
Knots: “Well Damian Angel wanted an inferno match.
Sasha said no. So here we are, but with that said, Damian Angel is out here.
Who knows what he may do?”
The opening lines of The Rasmus' "Lucifer's
Angel" begin to play over the crowd suddenly, without the introduction of
the song. The crowd starts to boo as Damian Angel walks out from the back, with
Autumn Daniels standing next to him. Autumn Daniels has a bag in her hand as
both just look down to the ring. Damian smiles before the lights turn to red
and follow Damian Angel on his way to the ring. James just focuses on him the
entire time.
Phillips: “And his opponent, hailing from Hell,
Michigan, being accompanied by Autumn Daniels, he is the Hellbound Messiah,
Damian Angel!”
Damian continues on his way to the ring, glancing
back at Autumn briefly before turning back to the ring. He takes a few more
steps and gets to the ring before James Exeter suddenly runs towards the ropes
and dives over the top rope and hits a flip dive right onto Damian Angel. The
crowd roars as the lights return to normal.
Sharper: “Whoa! Here we go!”
Knots: “James Exeter going airborne!”
James Exeter rolls over and then winces, grabbing
at his knee immediately. He starts to get up, limping and Autumn Daniels turns
to him and goes to kick him but James Exeter catches her foot before then
turning and throwing her over into the barricade. James Exeter then walks over
to the bag that Autumn Daniels had carried. Exeter opens it up and looks inside
before grabbing a plastic bottle of lighter fluid. The crowd roars and Exeter
just turns and throws it out into the crowd. He then reaches in and finds a
lighter.
Sharper: “Oh my God! Damian was planning
something!”
Dawson: “But James Exeter has it. He’s tossed the
lighter fluid out into the crowd!”
Knots: “Someone’s going to have fun tonight!”
He smiles as he then throws the bag down before
walking over to Damian Angel and Damian starts to get out of his robe and
Exeter walks over and lights the lighter over it, causing it to catch on fire.
The crowd roars and Damian throws the robe down, snuffing it out immediately
before then kicking James in the knee. James drops the lighter. Damian then
grabs James and turns before throwing him hard into the side of the ring.
Damian walks around before nailing him with a hard right. He then grabs James
and spins him around and intentionally throws him short, causing James’ knees
to bounce off the apron. James rolls over in pain as Damian then walks over to
the steel steps. He walks up them and then enters the ring.
Dawson: “Damian immediately going for the knees.”
Sharper: “We mentioned last night that James Exeter
apparently aggravated a knee injury heading into this match and Damian Angel is
going right for it.”
Knots: “Even throwing James hard knees first into
the ring!”
James starts to get up limping and Damian walks
over to him and James suddenly jumps up and nails him with an enziguri kick to
the side of the head. Damian spins off and falls to the mat. He rolls over and
starts to get up as the referee calls for the bell to start the match. James
turns and grabs Damian and nails him with a forearm and then another. He then
turns and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Damian spins through and sends
James in. James bounces off the ropes and Damian drops down with a basement
dropkick. James falls to the mat and winces in pain. Damian then turns and goes
to James and stomps him in the leg. He then bends over and drags him up. He
then kicks him in the knee. James winces and falls down before Damian grabs him
and hits a snap suplex. Then with James down, he walks over to the corner and
looks back. He then climbs up to the top rope. James remains down. He then
looks around before diving back and attempting the Martyr Syndrome, but James
rolls towards the ropes.
Sharper: “Damian Angel just tried to end it!”
Dawson: “No one home for the Martyr Syndrome!”
James gets up and Damian turns and James jumps to
the middle rope and dives back and nails him with a kick to the head. Damian
falls back, holding his head in pain. James then rolls over and gets up to his
feet. He then winces as he walks around and Damian starts to get back up and
turns to James only for James to hit a 360 Clothesline. The crowd ohs and James
turns and hooks the leg.
1!
2!
Damian kicks out. James rolls off and winces before
starting to pull himself up. Damian starts to get up as well and James grabs
him. He then nails him with a forearm in the back. Damian then winces as James
lifts him up for a back suplex, only for James’ leg to give out and Damian
turns into a crossbody but then gets up before stomping James in the face.
James rolls over in pain.
Knots: “Ha ha! That knee may be it for James
Exeter.”
Sharper: “Damian immediately taking advantage of
James’ need buckling on him.”
James starts to get up and Damian turns and kicks
him in the head. He hoists him up and drops him with a snap sidewalk slam. He
then goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Exeter gets his shoulder up. Damian rolls over and
starts to stir. He then turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off them and
hits a powerdrive elbow. James winces and rolls over and starts to stir. Damian
walks over and grabs him only to try and throw him shoulder first into the
nearest ringpost, but Exeter spins through and sends Damian in chest first.
Damian stumbles back and James pulls himself up and jumps up for another kick
to the head, but Damian ducks and clubs James in the back of the head, knocking
him out onto the apron. Damian then smirks as he steps through.
Dawson: “Hard-hitting, back and forth and now
Damian has James on the apron.”
Knots: “And he’s joining him. And it’s not for
tea!”
James starts to pull himself up only for Damian to
kick him in the ribs before grabbing him by the head and hoisting him up. He
then turns and drops him down on the top rope. The crowd ohs and James winces.
Damian then smirks before kicking James right in the chest and James falls back
and into the ring. Damian then turns and grabs the top rope. He looks at James
before pulling himself over in a slingshot twisting splash onto James. He then
hooks the leg for the pin.
1!
2!
James Exeter gets his shoulder up again. Damian
rolls over and then starts to get up only to turn to James and stomp him in the
leg. James yells in pain and rolls over. He then gets to his hands and knees
and starts to pull himself up. Damian just smiles and grabs James only for
James to hit a back elbow and then a standing switch before waistlocking Damian
and throwing him back with a release German suplex, into the turnbuckle. The
crowd ohs and Damian falls over, holding his head in pain.
Sharper: “German suplex into the corner.”
Dawson: “James Exeter may be on one leg, but he’s
certainly going to be a headache for Damian Angel.”
Knots: “Angel just needs to get some distance.
That’s it and he can keep control.”
Sharper: “But James Exeter is fighting through pain
and neither one have hit a move that wasn’t designed to injure!”
Damian slowly stirs and James Exeter rolls over and
starts to get up. He gets to his feet and limps around, trying to get some more
blood flow into his leg. Damian starts to pull himself up, but turns around and
Exeter runs at him and nails him with a clothesline. Damian rolls over and
slowly gets up and Exeter kicks him in the ribs before hooking him up in a
front facelock. He then hoists him up and quickly floats him over, causing him
to land on his feet before dropping him with a neckbreaker. The crowd cheers
and James rolls over, shaking out his leg. He then gets up and walks over to
the corner. He exits to the apron and starts to pull himself up to the top
rope. Damian remains down and James Exeter gets to his feet on the top rope
before looking at Damian and diving forward and hitting a 450 splash. The crowd
ohs and James rolls over, holding his ribs before turning and then going for
the pin.
Sharper: “450 Splash! Perfectly done despite the
knee injury!”
Knots: “Come on Damian! Get the hell up!”
1!
2!
Damian shoots his shoulder up. The crowd ohs and James
rolls over and looks out before rolling over and punching the mat. He then
punches it again before starting to pull himself up. He staggers around and
Damian rolls over slowly. Autumn Daniels meanwhile reasserts herself in the
match. Damian starts to crawl away from James and Autumn Daniels throws what
appears to be another bottle of lighter fluid. James however limps around.
Dawson: “Wait a minute?! Where the hell did she get
that from?”
Sharper: “I didn’t her searching. Was that under
the ring?”
Knots: “It doesn’t matter! Damian Angel has a hell
of a weapon!”
James turns back to Damian and Damian suddenly
turns and kicks him in the knee. James stumbles back and to his hands and knees
and Damian then starts to squeeze the contents of the bottle all over James
Exeter. The crowd starts to roar as James Exeter rolls over and shakes his
head, before realizing what is happening and rolling away.
Sharper: “Oh my God! He’s pouring lighter fluid on
James Exeter!”
Knots: “Hooray for barbecue!”
Sharper: “How can you be so sadistic?”
Dawson: “Well, and here’s how Autumn got it...”
|
REPLAY: The scene
shows Autumn Daniels searching under the ring before moving over and looking
again before reaching out and grabbing it. A smile can be seen on her face. |
In the ring,
James starts to get up at the ropes as the referee manages to get the bottle
away from Damian. Damian however turns to Autumn, demanding the lighter. |
The crowd roars as Autumn Daniels looks around before running around and back
to the entrance way. A brief shot is shown of the owner’s box to see Sasha
standing up watching in horror.
Sharper: “Oh my God! And Sasha is watching this!”
Dawson: “This is the man she trusted to help her
out and he’s openly, repeatedly, gone against her hopes!”
Damian kicks James in the side as he then turns and
walks over before Autumn grabs the lighter and then turns and walks over to the
ring and tosses it to Damian. Damian grabs it before turning around and smiling
only for James to start to get up and then jump up and hit the Zizou kick. The
crowd cheers as Damian falls back and James rolls over. The lighter bounces out
of his hand only for the referee to then see it and kick it out of the ring.
Knots: “Ahhh!”
Dawson: “Oh thank God! James Exeter hits the Zizou
kick, saving himself!”
Sharper: “And the referee got that lighter out of
the ring!”
Damian slowly rolls over and starts to grab the
ropes. Autumn paces, clearly unhappy and James Exeter gets up. He stumbles
forward and shakes out his arms, as some of the fluid drips off him. He then
looks down before breathing heavily. Damian slowly pulls himself up and then
turns to James and James turns and drills him with a vicious superkick. Damian
falls to the mat and James then looks around before turning and walking over to
the corner. He exits to the apron and starts to climb up to the top rope. The
crowd starts to cheer as Damian remains down in the ring. James gets to the top
rope and looks down as Autumn yells at Damian to get up. James almost starts to
shake in anger before then wincing a bit and diving forward and managing to hit
the Void on Damian Angel! The crowd ohs and rises to their feet in awe and
James Exeter holds his head before rolling over and going for the pin.
1!
2!
3!
James rolls off of Damian Angel and looks over to
him.
Dawson: “Oh my God! James Exeter just unleashed a
fury of offense and defeated Damian Angel!”
Sharper: “First the Superkick and then a 630!
Unbelievable!”
James just starts to breathe in and out and looks
at Damian Angel before starting to get up. His music blares throughout the
arena as the referee raises his arm.
Phillips: “And your winner, James Exeter!”
The crowd cheers louder and James Exeter pulls
himself up to his feet. He then looks at Damian Angel before turning and
limping a bit as he starts to walk over to the ropes. He steps through the
ropes and drops to the floor before starting to make his way to the back,
smiling. Damian Angel stirs a bit as Autumn enters the ring and checks on him.
Sharper: “Well as James Exeter leaves the ringside
and Damian Angel is checked on by Autumn Daniels, we’re about to see a match
that could be just as brutal as this last one.”
Knots: “Yeah. Lucas Knight is pissed off and he’s
going to going for revenge!”
Sharper: “Or will he? The last week, he’s been much
calmer. Is this going to benefit him? Or will CHBK get ahead?”
Dawson: “And what’s the plan of Ravyn Taylor? We
know Darkside is here. We know Alex Desoubrais Jr. is here. What’s going to
happen?”
Sharper: “But before then, let’s take a look at how
we got to this point right now...”
RECAP:
The recaps opens up to show
Ravyn Taylor and Syren posing for their Rise to Greatness shots.
Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor and Syren
want their opportunities.”
Ravyn: “Come on CHBK. You know
we deserve a shot.”
A shot of CHBK is shown posing
before we see shots of him as Commissioner, dressed in a suit and tie, just
smirking.
Lohan: “Come on Sasha!”
Knight: “That’s what our
Commissioner does?! Torment the innocent!”
Ravyn: “Please....he torments
everyone!”
We see shots of Ravyn and Lucas
pounding on the door of Sasha’s office before Ravyn’s voice is heard again.
Ravyn: “I’ve mentioned repeatedly
that you only need to look at the past of CHBK to see what kind of man he
really is.... I am here tonight ready to expose him for what he is and that is a
two-faced manipulator who will do all he can to get what he wants. Fairness is
something he could not fathom in any way.”
The sight of CHBK smirking is
placed again as “Kingdoms of Rain” by Soulsavers starts to play in the
background. Without the sound, we see portions of the video CHBK played showing
him walking up to Syren’s father’s house before fading into a shot of him
talking to her father and then a shot of him sliding paperwork over him before
we see a shot of CHBK smirking on the stage, before fading into a shot of him
smirking from 2005.
We then see a shot of Christy
Matthews walking into the office of CHBK before fading into a shot of CHBK
talking. We see Ravyn and Syren in the ring glaring at CHBK.
CHBK: “Now if I wanted to, I
could now have Syren forced to meet with SCW doctors and I could make your
lives very difficult. But as you know Ravyn, this alone...means nothing.
Syren’s eighteen. Syren has not been on good terms with her father. Though
apparently is on good terms with others. In fact, I think he was equally as
angry at me as you Ravyn. Perhaps Mr. Knight may want to tread a bit lighter.”
Dawson: “Oh my God! Syren and
Lucas Knight! Is that what Christy Matthews is so angry at Lucas for!”
Knots: “He’s crossing lines!
Come on! He’s the Commissioner! He should not be doing this!”
Sharper: “I can’t disagree with that...but
the Master of Mind Games...Ravyn kept talking about the CHBK from 2005...this
is him...”
We then seen a shot of Lucas
Knight rushing out to attack CHBK. Security moves in trying to hold him back.
The scene then fades into a shot of Lucas Knight being dragged back to a squad
car and being arrest. We then fade to a shot of Christy Matthews walking over
to the squad car before shaking her head.
Christy: “Just realize....you
owe me your career for this.”
Lucas looks shocked before we
fade into a shot of Lucas in the ring with Jason Zero before we see CHBK
walking down to the ring with a coffee in his hand. Lucas is then shown being
distracted by CHBK as CHBK just smirks. Lucas then turns and is dropped with
the Chaos Theory as CHBK is shown walking to the back.
CHBK: “And Lucas, you acted
exactly as I knew you would. And with rage comes some interesting things. But
with Rise to Greatness, comes the opportunity for immortality. And Lucas...you
get to make the choice. Is it going to my ass....or is it going to be your
future?”
This is followed by a shot of
Ravyn Taylor clearly angry before turning into a shot of Lucas Knight
attempting to get into the arena to go after CHBK only to be kept out of the
arena. This fades into a shot of Lucas Knight covering Alex Desoubrais Jr. in
the ring before bending over and lifting him up. He then turns and looks into
the camera.
Knight: “Alex, you may be the
Master of Mind Games....and you may be gloating....but mark my words...your
past will come to haunt you as it should. And your actions will not go
unpunished. This Sunday, be prepared for a heartbreak. You say I need to choose
between your ass or history....there’s nothing that says I can’t have BOTH!”
Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor. Brittany
Lohan. Now Alex Desoubrais Jr. Perhaps that means Rachel is with him too.
That’s a formidable army and one that even the incomparable CHBK couldn’t deal
with.”
Shots flash then of Ravyn
Taylor, Brittany Lohan, Alex Desoubrais Jr. and then Lucas Knight
enraged....before then turning into a shot of CHBK smirking again. After a few
moments, the scene then fades to black...
The scene reopens with a live shot backstage to see
Marisa Condolesa standing in front of the SCW interview area.
Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen...CHBK.”
The crowd cheers and CHBK walks into view wearing a
huge red and white robe. He smile as he looks into the camera. Condolesa turns
to him and holds the microphone up.
Condolesa: “In just a few moments, you’re going to
go to that ring and compete against Lucas Knight. Any final thoughts before
this huge match?’
CHBK: “Well, a lot of people have been wondering
what I’m thinking about everything that’s happened. The fact of the matter is
that I’m unsure of how much thinking Ravyn Taylor has actually done. Because
she’s managed to get Lucas under control for now...she’s managed to get my own
son on board. But the thing is that those are two very unstable elements. Lucas
Knight has shown in the past that he’s quite capable of losing his cool and I
expect that to happen when he sees me standing across the ring from him. And
Alex Jr....well blood is thicker than water and there’s a reason we don’t get
along....”
CHBK pauses before looking down and looking up.
CHBK: “But see all of that works into my favour.
And I didn’t get here by just standing around and taking it. Lucas Knight wants
to get his hands on me. He talks about being infamous last night. But I’ve
already made him that. The tabloids are covering his little romance with Syren.
And people hate him. He’s there. But what I will do is make him famous. Because
tonight, I plan to make him realize what I’ve been trying to get all this time.
Tonight, Dark Fantasy can plot, but my strategy is simple. I’m going to do what
I always do and I’m going to show why I am considered a legend and I’m going to
make Lucas Knight, Ravyn Taylor and Dark Triad respect this business.”
The crowd cheers as CHBK smiles at Condolesa.
Condolesa: “Well good luck out there. Let’s go back
to the ring.”
CHBK smiles before walking off as the cheers
continue and the scene reopens at ringside.
We get a brief shot of the owner’s box in Cowboys
Stadium to see Sasha Drachewych sitting inside with Laura Desoubrais, CHBK’s
wife sitting next to her. The two can be seen talking.
Sharper: “And there you see Sasha Drachewych along
with CHBK’s wife. As we well know, the closeness between CHBK’s family and
Sasha and Sasha invited CHBK’s wife as a guest here tonight.”
Dawson: “And they’ve definitely got a hell of a
show to watch.”
The scene returns to the entrance way and the crowd
starts to roar as “This is How a Heart Breaks” starts to play throughout the
arena. The crowd starts to cheer as red and white lights start to circle
through the stadium. The camera focuses on the entrance way as sparks start to
shoot up, engulfing the entire stage before slowly coming back down and CHBK
walks out from the back wearing a long flowing robe, largely red with white
trim and starts to walk down to the ring. The crowd erupts in further cheers
for the SCW legend as he continues to make his way down to the ring. He then
stops partway down the rampway and looks around before posing on the rampway.
Pyro shoots from one side of the stage to the other and then up over the
entrance way itself before shooting off from the top of the set. CHBK looks out
and smiles before then continuing on his way to the ring.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this match is
scheduled for one-fall. On his way to the ring, hailing from Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, he is the Epitome of SCW, the Canadian Heartbreak Kid!”
The crowd roars a bit as the camera pans back away
from CHBK as he walks over towards the ring and then circles out to show the
massive assembly of people in the arena.
Dawson: “Thousands of people seated here in Cowboys
Stadium for Rise to Greatness 2010.”
Sharper: “We’ll have official attendance numbers
later, but before then, we’re going to see an absolute war here. CHBK, the only
man to compete at every Rise to Greatness event, will be facing Lucas Knight,
in his first Rise to Greatness match.”
Knots: “So what? Lucas Knight isn’t going to be
looking for a match. He’ll be looking to take Lucas Knight’s head off.”
Sharper: “Judging by that interview last night, he
may have a plan. And that’s problematic for anyone including CHBK.”
CHBK enters the ring and spins around before
stopping in the middle of the ring and posing. He then pops up and slides his
robe off before turning and walking around the ring and placing the robe on the
outside. He then turns and looks at the entrance way as his music starts to
fade out.
Dawson: “The elder statesmen of the SCW. CHBK at
forty-seven years of age.”
Sharper: “But while that may take down the speed a
bit, it just adds to the experience. We’ve seen him in the last few years. He
looks as good as he ever did.”
The lights in the arena slowly go out before air
raid sirens start to be heard. The sounds of gunfire and explosions follow
before the screen above the stage illuminates with the images of various wars
from over the years, each one burning away to reveal another with quick black
and white footage of Lucas Knight attacking various opponents after each. “The
Catalyst” flickers on the screen next and with it on cue Indestructible by
Disturbed kicks in fully.
Phillips: “And his opponent, about to make his way
down to the ring, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is the SCW Underground
Champion, the Catalyst, Lucas Knight!”
The crowd boos as a red hue comes over the stage and we see Lucas Knight walk
out from the back, not wearing his usual hooded trench coat, but instead just a
simple vest. The SCW Underground Championship sits around his waist. He takes a
few steps before stopping at the end of the stage and white and red pyro blasts
up high into the air on either side of him. He then starts to make his way down
to the ring. He just stares down at the ring and the figure of CHBK.
Sharper: “There we see Lucas Knight, the SCW
Underground Champion and he is anything but happy at the moment.”
Dawson: “It just over five weeks ago that CHBK
exposed Lucas to the world as cheating with Syren and in the process, Christy
Matthews revealed he was going to make Lucas owe her his career as penance.
This is where we are today.”
Knots: “Think of what will happen if Lucas Knight
defeats CHBK on the biggest stage of them all. Exactly! Lucas Knight is then
not just good, but one of the greatest!”
Sharper: “I don’t know about that.”
Lucas Knight takes his vest off as he reaches the
ring before then taking off his belt. He throws it down onto the apron. He then
hops onto the apron and looks into the ring. CHBK just continues to watch him.
Lucas then steps through the ropes and enters the ring. He starts to walk
across the ring to go after CHBK, but the referee steps in front of him. Lucas
just glares at the referee and starts to walk back, still glaring at CHBK.
Dawson: “Lucas Knight not too patient.”
Sharper: “And CHBK now knows that for sure. That’s
not a smart move for the Catalyst at all.”
CHBK looks at Lucas and the referee steps back and calls
for the bell. Lucas immediately comes in and attempts a hard right, but CHBK
immediately ducks it. Lucas attempts a left, but CHBK ducks that and then chops
Lucas. The crowd woos. Lucas attempts a right again, but CHBK ducks it again
and chops Lucas again. More woos come from the crowd. Lucas attempts another
hard right, but CHBK ducks and chops him hard in the chest again. The crowd
woos a third time and Lucas then attempts a swinging clothesline, but CHBK
ducks and spins through only to then hit Lucas with a chop and then a hard
right before another chop, knocking Lucas down. The crowd woos and then cheers
and CHBK turns around and just watches as Lucas gets up.
Sharper: “Lucas Knight is fuelled by rage. CHBK is
just standing back and watching the blows. He’s watching where they’re coming
from and appropriately countering.”
Knots: “Just calm down Lucas.”
Dawson: “Lucas Knight did not hit one blow in that
entire exchange.”
Lucas gets up and runs at CHBK and attempts another
clothesline. CHBK ducks it and then nails him with another chop. The crowd woos
and CHBK nails him with a hard left and then another and another before
knocking Lucas down with a hard right. Lucas falls to the mat and rolls all the
way out of the ring. He then starts to walk around ringside as CHBK gets
cheered and a “Lucas sucks!” chant starts to be heard throughout the crowd.
Lucas continues to walk around before then turning and running at the ring and
sliding in. He then gets up and runs at CHBK and CHBK just drops him with a drop
toe hold. He then jumps forward and locks in a side headlock. He pulls back and
Lucas winces before rolling over and attempting to roll him off, but CHBK rolls
through and holds on. Lucas smacks the canvas in anger. CHBK then slowly starts
to get up, dragging Lucas up with him and then takes him over with a headlock
takedown. He then holds on.
1!
Lucas gets his shoulder up and rolls over. Lucas
starts to kick the canvas in frustration as CHBK then holds onto him and again
starts to drag him back up. He again takes him down with a headlock takedown.
Lucas kicks his foot off the mat, but CHBK then rolls off him and then gets up
and walks around. Lucas rolls over and glares at CHBK as CHBK just turns and
sets up again.
Knots: “This is unbelievable! Lucas! Get your head
into it!”
Sharper: “CHBK has just wrestled a simple game in
the opening moments of this match. He’s not going for any big moves. He’s
letting Lucas Knight come to him and make all of the mistakes.”
Lucas slowly gets up and runs at CHBK again, but
CHBK drops his head and then hits a single leg takedown. Lucas falls back to
his back and CHBK then rolls through and goes for a jackknife pin. The crowd
roars.
1!
2!
Lucas kicks out. The crowd sighs and CHBK rolls
over. Lucas rolls over and gets up. CHBK then walks over and nails him with a
hard right. Lucas staggers back. CHBK then grabs him and goes to fire him into
the ropes. Lucas, however, spins through and sends CHBK in, but CHBK bounces
off the ropes and immediately jumps up and nails him with a flying forearm.
CHBK then nips up. The crowd roars and CHBK looks at Lucas. Lucas slowly starts
to stir.
Sharper: “Oh boy! This could be short! This could
be it!”
Knots: “Oh God! Lucas! Come on!”
Dawson: “CHBK may be looking to make his Lucas
Knight very infamous debut. Knight said tonight was going to be infamous, but I
doubt for this. CHBK may get through this untouched!”
Lucas slowly pulls himself up and CHBK then lunges
and goes for the Bittersweet Ending, but Lucas falls back and immediately rolls
out of the ring. The crowd ohs and then boos as Lucas starts to walk around the
ring. CHBK, however, remains in the ring. He looks at Lucas as Lucas starts to
walk around the ring. He then turns before smacking himself in the head. He
then looks around before then turning and hopping onto the apron. CHBK,
however, this time runs forward and drives his shoulder into the ribs of Lucas.
Lucas winces and CHBK then grabs him by the arm and pulls him into the ring
through the ropes. Lucas winces some more and CHBK then drags him up and
wrenches his arm. Lucas then turns and attempts to hit a clothesline,
desperately, but CHBK ducks and grabs Lucas from behind. He hoists Lucas up for
a back suplex, but Lucas reaches for the face of CHBK and rakes the eyes. CHBK
turns, losing his grip and Lucas rolls down and lands on his side. CHBK turns
back to Lucas and Lucas drills him with a vicious clothesline, following
through with it down to the mat. Lucas then starts to get up, smile on his
face. CHBK starts to stir, holding his jaw in pain.
Sharper: “And Lucas Knight finally gets on the
offensive!”
Dawson: “Mind you, with a rake to the eyes.”
Knots: “Hey! It worked! It’s effective! And CHBK
used it plenty of times in the past!”
Sharper: “We’ve alluded to Ravyn Taylor doing her
homework with CHBK as shown on Breakdown a number of weeks ago. I’m sure she’s
passed on some knowledge to Lucas Knight tonight.”
Dawson: “That’s if Knight listens. That tension in
the room when I was interviewing him yesterday was very evident between those
two.”
CHBK gets up and Lucas turns and quickly drops down
and clubs him in the back. CHBK rolls over and onto his back. Lucas then dives
over and starts to hammer away at CHBK. He nails him repeatedly in the side of
the head. CHBK rolls over and gets to his hands and knees and covers up, but
Lucas just turns and drives his knee into the ribs of CHBK. Boos start to come
from all over and Lucas looks up and smiles before then getting up and stomping
CHBK in the back of the head. He then grabs CHBK and slowly lifts him up and
nails him with a hard right. CHBK falls back to the ropes. Lucas then looks at
CHBK before nailing him again. CHBK winces and Lucas grabs him and whips him
into the ropes. CHBK bounces off the ropes and Lucas scoops him off the ropes
and hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. The crowd ohs and CHBK rolls over, holding
his back in pain.
Dawson: “Focusing on the back!”
Sharper: “A tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and I don’t
think we need to go into the multitude of back problems the Canadian Heartbreak
Kid has had over the years!”
Knots: “And Lucas Knight knows of that, that’s for
sure!”
CHBK winces and Lucas does not hesitate at all
before grabbing CHBK and hoisting him up for a back suplex, but transferring
into a backbreaker. The crowd ohs and Lucas turns and goes for the pin.
1!
2!
CHBK kicks out. CHBK rolls over and Lucas turns and
then quickly grabs him by the hair. The referee reprimands him, but Lucas ignores
him before lifting CHBK up and then backing up and pulling him into a short-arm
clothesline. Lucas then turns and exits the ring before dropping down to the
floor. He walks around the ring before walking over to the timekeeper and
grabbing a steel chair.
Knots: “Oh yeah! He’s going to get CHBK a seat!”
Sharper: “This is not no holds barred! This is
The crowd roars as Lucas keeps it open and throws
it into the ring. He then slides in and the referee goes over to the chair.
Lucas gets in and immediately snaps at the referee. The referee yells back at
him and Lucas rips the chair away from him before then placing it in the middle
of the ring. Lucas turns and grabs CHBK and starts to lift him up, but the
referee grabs the chair and folds it up before throwing it to the floor. Lucas
turns around and snaps at the referee again, yelling at him. The referee
reminds him he’s the referee and Lucas then turns around and CHBK is back up
and pulls him over with a small package. The referee quickly jumps down for the
pin.

Lucas kicks out. Both men then get up and CHBK hits
a jawbreaker. Lucas staggers back. CHBK then grabs him and goes to whip him
into the corner, but Lucas spins through and sends CHBK in. CHBK however stops
and Lucas runs after him only for CHBK to get his elbow up. Lucas turns around,
holding his jaw and CHBK quickly grabs him from behind and locks in the
Katahatjme! The crowd roars and Lucas quickly starts to reach around before
managing to grab the top rope. CHBK pulls back a bit as the referee moves in
and calls for the break.

4!
CHBK lets go and steps back and walks around the
ring. Lucas starts to turn and CHBK runs at Lucas only for Lucas to get his
head down and hoist CHBK up and over the top rope and CHBK lands on the floor
with a thud. The crowd ohs as CHBK rolls over, grimacing in pain.
Dawson: “CHBK took a chance! It damn sure didn’t
pay off!”
Knots: “And CHBK made a HUGE mistake.”
Sharper: “He got in the Katahatjme, kept it on for
a four count before then seeing a chance, but Lucas had enough wherewithal and
this is bad for the Heartbreaker.”
CHBK slowly stirs and Lucas Knight looks down
before grabbing the top rope and swinging himself under the bottom rope and to the
floor. He then walks over to CHBK and grabs him before violently throwing him
hard back first into the barricade.(1) CHBK winces and falls down to a seated
position. Knight just smiles before stomping him in the head. CHBK rolls over,
holding his head and Knight grabs him.(2) He then turns and drives CHBK hard
face first into the steel steps. CHBK spins through and Knight then grabs him
and drags him up. He then turns and looks at the steel steps. He smiles before
hooking the head of CHBK. He then sends next to steel steps. He hoists him up,
looking to go for a vertical suplex on the steel steps!(3) CHBK however manages
to block it. The crowd roars. Lucas tries again, but CHBK blocks again and then
hoists Lucas up and turns before throwing him chest first on the top of the
English announce table.(4) Lucas lays on it, his head sitting over the side,
holding his ribs in pain as the crowd cheers. CHBK then turns and looks up
before grabbing the ropes and pulling himself onto the apron. The referee turns
to him and tells him to get into the ring, also effectively ending the count.
Sharper: “Oh thank God! Had Lucas Knight hit that
vertical suplex, CHBK’s career would have been over!”
Dawson: “But now Lucas is right in front of us on
our table! We may need to get the hell out of here!”
Knots: “Lucas! Move! Move!”
CHBK gets up onto the apron and looks down before
then looks out and then pulling himself onto the middle rope and sits on the
top turnbuckle. He then looks down before diving forward and attempting an
elbow drop, but Lucas pushes himself off and rolls through as CHBK goes back,
ribs and elbow first into the edge of the table before rolling over in pain.(1)
The crowd ohs as CHBK yells in pain. Lucas then gets up and smiles before
grabbing CHBK and dragging him up and knees him in the ribs.(2) CHBK falls over
and leans on the table. Lucas then lifts CHBK up and drives him face first on
the announce table.(3) CHBK staggers back and stumbles over to the Spanish
table. Lucas then walks over and grabs him before turning and whipping him hard
into the ringpost.(4) The crowd ohs as CHBK goes face first off the ringpost
and then rolls over to his stomach. Lucas slowly walks over to him. CHBK starts
to pull himself up as a gash can be seen to have opened up over his head.(5)
Blood drips down onto the mats. Lucas then lifts him up and rolls him into the
ring. CHBK rolls over and then rolls to his back as Lucas hops onto the apron
and smirks before getting in.
Dawson: “And the Canadian Heartbreak Kid has been
busted open.”
Knots: “Lucas Knight said he was going to make
history and get revenge. Sounds like he’s looking good to do that right now!”
CHBK slowly stirs and starts to get up and Knight
walks over and stomps him in the side of the head. The crowd boos. Knight then
nails him again before grabbing him and hoisting him up. He then scoops him up
onto his shoulder and runs forward and throws him face first into the top
turnbuckle, hitting a snake eyes, and further opening up the wound on CHBK’s
head. CHBK stumbles back and falls to the mat. Knight then walks over and grabs
CHBK and yells at him. The crowd just boos drowning out Knight’s voice from the
cameras. Knight then lifts CHBK up and drops him with a snap DDT. The crowd
ohs. Knight then rolls CHBK over and hooks the leg.

CHBK shoots his shoulder up. The crowd roars. The
crowd cheers and a “Let Go Heartbreak!” chant starts to echo throughout the
arena. Lucas gets up and stomps CHBK in the head before grabbing him again. He
then looks around and notices the chant and turns and snaps at the crowd,
getting some boos. He then turns and kicks CHBK in the ribs. He then smiles as
he turns and whips him into the ropes. CHBK bounces off the ropes and CHBK runs
into Lucas’ arm, who quickly locks in an inverted headlock. He then pulls CHBK
down with the Hail Brittania. Lucas then smiles before going for the pin.
Dawson: “The torture is beginning and Lucas is
starting to get that momentum going.”
Sharper: “Hail Brittania! Executed perfectly on
CHBK!”

CHBK shoots his shoulder off the canvas again. The
crowd roars again and Lucas Knight looks up in shock. He then turns and mounts
CHBK before nailing CHBK over and over again in the side of the head. CHBK
covers up as best as he can, but the blood continues to flow. Knight then gets
up and walks around the ring. CHBK rolls over slowly and starts to stir. Knight
then turns and runs over to CHBK, but CHBK suddenly lifts his arm up and grabs
Knight and then hoists him up and drops him with the Uranage suplex. The crowd
cheers and CHBK rolls off of Knight.
Sharper: “Uranage suplex! Out of nowhere!”
Knots: “Damn it! There’s still life in him. Come on
Lucas Knight. Snuff it out! And where the hell is Alex Desoubrais Jr.? Where
the hell is Ravyn? Where the hell is everyone?”
Dawson: “I just hope that they’re rethinking coming
out here.”
Sharper: “Or maybe Ravyn has something planned.”
CHBK slowly pulls himself up as Lucas rolls over,
still relatively fresh and turns to CHBK and walks over to him only for CHBK to
kick him in the ribs and hit the double arm DDT. The crowd cheers and CHBK
rolls over and hooks the leg.

Lucas gets his shoulder off the canvas. CHBK rolls
off and slowly gets up, blood still dripping down. He then starts to get up and
walks around as Lucas holds his head. He then gets up in the corner and CHBK
suddenly turns and runs at him and nails him with a running clothesline in the
corner. CHBK winces from the impact himself, but Lucas falls down and lands on
the mat. CHBK then exits to the apron and starts to climb up to the top rope.
He gets up to the top. He looks around as the crowd roars and CHBK then dives
off and hits a frog splash onto Lucas Knight. The crowd cheers and CHBK falls
back on top of Lucas and hooks the leg.

Knight rolls his shoulder off the canvas and the
crowd ohs again. CHBK rolls over in pain. But as he does, the crowd starts to
boo a bit as we see Alex Desoubrais Jr. starting to make his way down from the
back.
Sharper: “Frog splash not enough-“
Dawson: “But this may, just for Lucas instead of
CHBK.”
Knots: “Alex Desoubrais Jr. NOW showing up.”
Dawson: “Something tells me that Ravyn and Lucas
told people not to show up unless Lucas was in trouble. Lucas was in trouble earlier,
but came back. This time, not quite so confident, maybe?”
Sharper: “Or Alex Desoubrais Jr. is sick of
waiting.”
Lucas stirs and CHBK sees Alex Jr. coming down, but
just jumps up and hits a knee drop onto the head of Lucas. Lucas rolls over,
holding his head in pain. CHBK then bends over and grabs Lucas. He drags him up
and nails him with a hard right. He then turns and whips him into the ropes.
Lucas bounces off the ropes and CHBK turns and kicks him in the ribs. He then
grabs Lucas and places his head between his legs. He then lifts him up and
spikes him with a piledriver in the middle of the ring. The crowd ohs and CHBK

Knight.

Lucas shoots his shoulder up again. Alex Jr.
continues to take his time down to the ring and CHBK glances up to see him.
CHBK then turns and walks over to the corner. He exits to the apron and starts
to climb up to the top rope.
Dawson: “Alex Desoubrais Jr. is taking his time to
get down here, but in this time, Lucas Knight might be done. CHBK, again, going
to the top rope!”
Knots: “Come on Alex! Get your ass down there!”
CHBK gets up to the top rope and Alex Jr. reaches
the ring. CHBK glances over before standing up, but Lucas manages to push the
referee into the ropes. CHBK lands hard on the top turnbuckle. The referee
turns around and Alex Jr. suddenly enters the ring and pops up and nails the
referee with a superkick. The referee goes down as Lucas turns to him, looking
a bit shocked. Alex Desoubrais Jr. then moves over and nails CHBK with a hard
right. He then nails him again. Alex Desoubrais Jr. then grabs CHBK and pulls
him away from the top rope before then falling back and hitting a hanging
reverse STO. CHBK rolls over in pain, holding his jaw. Lucas Knight gets up and
looks at him and Alex Desoubrais Jr. then turns and mounts CHBK and starts to
hammer away at him and boos come from all over.
Dawson: “This is sickening! Alex Desoubrais Jr. has
come in here and given himself a chance to take out CHBK!”
Knots: “But I don’t know if that was the plan!
Lucas Knight looked completely shocked by that superkick!”
Sharper: “Regardless, Alex Desoubrais Jr. has
entered himself into this match. And his mother is watching him take out his
father!”
Knots: “It’s a family affair here, eh?!”
Alex Desoubrais Jr. continues to hammer away at
CHBK and Lucas Knight walks over and then just smirks before stomping CHBK in
the head. He stomps him again as the crowd boos even more. Alex Desoubrais Jr.
then pushes Lucas Knight away before turning back to CHBK. Lucas Knight falls
back and looks up before turning to Alex Desoubrais Jr. Alex Jr. then turns and
gets up and stomps CHBK. Lucas then walks over and spins Alex Jr. around and
Alex Jr. turns and drills him with a hard right. The crowd roars before more
boos come from the crowd as Lucas falls back. Alex Desoubrais Jr. then turns
and exits to the apron before looking at CHBK and then walking over to the
corner and climbing up to the top rope.
Sharper: “I guess this partnership isn’t that
solid! Alex Desoubrais Jr. just nailed Lucas Knight!”
Dawson: “But he’s continuing with his assault on
his father!”
Knots: “He’s not going to let his father leave
tonight in one piece! Lucas! Just stand back. Let him have this moment!”
Sharper: “Well with the referee down, why not! He
just gains from this!”
Alex Desoubrais Jr. gets to the top rope, but Lucas
Knight gets back up and turns and falls into the ropes. Alex Jr. lands hard on
the top turnbuckle and the crowd roars before Lucas then walks over and grabs
Alex Jr. and starts to yell at him. He then pulls him back by the head as CHBK
rolls away and slowly stirs. Lucas Knight then drops Alex Desoubrais Jr. with
the El Oh El! The crowd ohs and Alex Desoubrais Jr. rolls over and exits the
ring. Lucas Knight just watches him roll out before getting up and turning
around only for CHBK to drill him with the Bittersweet Ending, leading to a
huge upsurge of cheers from the crowd! CHBK falls back to his stomach as Lucas
ends up on his back.
Sharper: “Bittersweet Ending! He got it!’
Dawson: “Lucas Knight’s lights have been dimmed!”
Knots: “Damn it! Damn it!”
Sharper: “But the referee is still down. CHBK and
Lucas Knight are down! Everyone is down!”
Knots: “It’s a race to their feet. Come on Lucas!
CHBK’s lost blood. He’s taken a beating. You can fight through it and get back
up!”
CHBK slowly starts to crawl over to the referee. He
looks around as the referee still is down. He then gets up and grabs the
referee and looks at him before shaking him. He glances back to Knight and sees
Knight still down, only barely starting to stir. CHBK shakes the referee some
more before smacking him across the jaw to wake him up. The referee stirs a bit
and rolls over. CHBK then starts to tell him to get up as the crowd starts to
roar. CHBK gets up to his feet as the referee starts to stir and a masked and
hooded man hops the guardrail. He then turns and slides into the ring. CHBK
turns and sees him and thinking it’s a fan running to the ring, CHBK runs over
and suddenly the figure low blows CHBK. The crowd ohs and then boos as CHBK
falls back to his knee, bending over. The figure then gets up and takes the
hood down before looking at CHBK. He then grabs the mask from behind before
pulling it off and the crowd roars before booing loudly as Mr. Drachewych is
seen standing in the ring in front of CHBK.
Knots: “Yes! Yes! YES!”
Sharper: “Son of a bitch! Damn it!”
Dawson: “Was this Ravyn Taylor’s plan! Mr.
Drachewych, the man that CHBK beat last year to remove him from the head of the
company is standing in the ring in front of him!”
CHBK starts to get up and goes to grab Drachewych
only to low blow him again with a kick to the legs. CHBK falls back and Lucas Knight
then lunges and rolls CHBK up as Drachewych drops back. The referee turns and
starts to count, not even realizing Drachewych is in the ring.
1!
2!
3!
CHBK rolls his shoulder off the canvas after the
three but the referee calls for the bell. The crowd boos loudly and Lucas
Knight rolls over and gets up. He then holds his jaw before looking forward at
Drachewych. He then smiles and shakes Drachewych’s hand. The crowd boos louder
and louder as CHBK slowly stirs. Knight then turns and looks at CHBK before
dropping down to the floor. Drachewych walks past him and spits on him before
exiting the ring with Drachewych.
Phillips: “And here is your winner...Lucas Knight!”
The crowd boos more and Knight starts to walk
backwards to the back. CHBK rolls over and looks at Knight, holding himself and
glaring at Knight.
Knots: “CHBK isn’t smirking now!”
Dawson: “Lucas Knight shaking hands with the devil
to get a win over CHBK.”
Sharper: “And Drachewych has returned...and this is
just bad for everyone! Ravyn Taylor and Lucas Knight have pulled what may be
the ultimate coup!”
CHBK leans on the bottom rope before punching the
mat in pain. Drachewych and Knight turn back to the ring, both smiling.
Drachewych continues on his way to the back as Knight relishes the fact he
holds a win over CHBK. The crowd continues to boo loudly as we slowly head
backstage.
The scene opens backstage to see Josh Hudson
standing next to Jessica Winters backstage. Hudson just looks down at the
floor, clearly unhappy as Jessica turns to the camera.
Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Josh
Hudson and later tonight, you’re going to compete against Jake Starr in what is
going to be your last SCW match regardless-“
Hudson: “And? See, I should be standing in my
locker room behind me getting ready and preparing myself to kick Jake Starr’s
ass and send all of these fans home disappointed. That would be the ultimate
end to my career here in SCW. But yet, here I am talking to you because you
think it’s important to get my final thoughts...”
Jessica: “Actually, SCW sent me to get them.”
Hudson: “Of course. Because Jake Starr is their
little meal ticket. Regardless, I think you and everyone else needs to get
ready...because I’ve been waiting for this for months now. I have wanted this
match to show the world that I am the best wrestler in SCW history. I’ve beaten
Jason Zero. I’ve beaten CHBK. I’ve beaten legends and I’ve beaten never will
bes and never was’...and tonight, I beat Jake Starr. No amount of smart ass
comments are going to stop that. No amount of high-flying moves are going to put
me down. Tonight, I do what I do best one more time...and that’s wrestle.”
Hudson then turns around and grabs the doorknob to
his locker room and steps back inside. The crowd gives a mixed reaction as
Jessica Winters turns to the camera.
Jessica: “Hudson is focused heading into what will
be his final match in SCW history. Jake Starr and Josh Hudson will go at it
later tonight. Guys?”
The scene reopens at ringside and the camera starts
to pan the crowd.
Sharper: “Josh Hudson is driven and we found out
that Dark Triad and Lucas Knight were too. Despite Alex Desoubrais Jr. turning
on Lucas Knight, they had an ace up their sleeve in the former SCW owner.”
Knots: “Yeah and Sasha Drachewych is going to have
to tread lightly. Ravyn Taylor has a huge coup on her side. And Lucas Knight
now holds a win over CHBK.”
Sharper: “Lots has happened so far. David Helms has
a title shot awaiting him. Xander Valentine knocked out Chad Evans. James
Exeter defeated Damian Angel and of course, we just saw what happened between
Lucas Knight and CHBK.”
I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!
The crowd boos as Katie Steward’s giggling can be
heard over the soundsystem before turning into “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera.
Pink spotlights start to circle the arena as a red carpet starts to be rolled
down the rampway by several stagehands. After a few moments, Katie Steward
walks out from the back with a long flowing white coat, causing part of it to
drag behind her. An impressive diamond tiara sits on her head as she stays a
few steps and stands at the top of the entrance way before posing. The crowd
boos loudly before TJ Johnson walks out behind her. She then looks around
before TJ steps in front of her and starts to tell the stage hands to get out
of the way. Katie then starts to make her way down to the ring.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special challenge match and is
scheduled for onefall. On her way to the ring, hailing from Los Angeles,
California, she is the Goddess of Desire, the Queen of Queens, Katie Steward!”
Katie continues on her way to the ring as TJ
Johnson continues to clear the path. Katie just smiles as she elegantly walks
down the rampway and over to the mats. She then walks over to the steel steps
as TJ Johnson stands next to them and holds her by the hand as she walks up
them. She then walks along the apron and TJ Johnson hops onto it before holding
down the middle rope for Katie. Katie steps through gently before getting in.
TJ Johnson then enters in after her and Katie walks over to the middle of the
ring and looks around before Johnson grabs her coat and slowly pulls it off
her. Katie Steward smiles as she poses in the ring and Johnson places the coat
over his arm before gently grabbing the crown off of her head before walking
over and stepping out of the ring. He then gently places them next to him as
Katie continues to pose as her music fades out.
Sharper: “Katie Steward is out here and with TJ Johnson and for once, we’re not
grimacing in pain. I say this because earlier tonight, Katie informed TJ that
he would remain at ringside, but not to announce.”
Knots: “Yeah. And TJ’s done a great job getting his
ass handed to him by Christian Savior.”
Sharper: “Well I don’t doubt that he’s going to be
remaining at ringside more in a managerial capacity mainly to distract
Christian Savior. We’ve said it multiple times. This match has a lot of
implicit title implications.”
Fire shoots from the stage before an explosion can
be heard and the fiery outline of a phoenix can be seen hanging over the
entrance way. “Coming Home” starts to play throughout the arena and the crowd
gives a mixed reaction as from the back, Christian Savior slowly saunters out
from the back. He looks out at the crowd before looking down at the ring and
smiling a bit. He looks around at the arena before then turning and looking at
the ring yet again and starting make his way down to the ring.
Phillips: “And her opponent, hailing from Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, he is the Rising Phoenix, Christian Savior!”
Savior continues on his way to the ring as the
crowd roars a bit more. He then suddenly starts to run down to the ring before
running up onto the mats and sliding into the ring. He then looks up at Katie
before slowly getting up. He smirks as Katie Steward just remains back in her
corner. Savior then gets up and walks back to his corner and drops down to a
seated position as his music fades.
Sharper: “Savior is ready...and look at his
position!”
Knots: “Yeah! Spear her right off the start!”
Sharper: “That’s what we normally see from him when
he’s going for the spear.”
Dawson: “And definitely getting into the head of
Katie too!”
The referee steps back as the crowd roars a bit and
calls for the bell. Savior then runs out of the corner and attempts a spear,
but Katie dives out of the way and rolls through as the crowd roars some more.
Savior then gets up and turns around and Katie quickly runs over and spins
around him and goes for a school boy.

off the ropes and Savior hip tosses her over before Katie starts to get up and
Savior turns and runs into the ropes. He bounces off the them and jumps up and
nails Katie with a flying clothesline. Katie rolls over and gets back up as
Savior starts to pull himself up.
Sharper: “Savior quickly taking down Katie!”
Dawson: “You can see both of their strategies in
some way. Savior wants to take out Katie quick while Katie wants to go for the
flash pin!”
Katie gets up and Savior kicks her in the ribs. He
then wrenches the arm of Katie and jerks on it. He then turns and hooks her up
before throwing her back with a Russian leg sweep. He rolls over and hooks the
leg.

another before whipping Katie into the ropes. Katie bounces off the ropes and
Savior scoops her up, but Katie manages to get up onto the shoulder and slides
down before clubbing Savior in the back. She clubs him again and Savior manages
to hit a back elbow. Katie stumbles back to the ropes. Savior then walks over
and chops her in the chest. The crowd woos.
Sharper: “The royal chest of Katie Steward is being
thrashed with a hard chop.”
Knots: “Almost as loud as Katie’s screams!”
Savior chops her again as the crowd woos. TJ just
looks away and Savior then grabs Katie and whips her across the ring. Katie
bounces off the ropes and Savior knocks her down with a back elbow. Katie rolls
over and starts to pull herself up only for Savior to grabs her from behind and
lift her up and down with a back suplex. Katie winces and Savior rolls over. He
then turns and walks over to the corner. He pulls himself up to the middle rope
as Katie starts to stir. Savior then dives forward and drives the point of his
elbow into the face of Katie Steward. He turns and goes for the pin.

Katie kicks out again. Savior looks up before then
grabbing Katie by her blonde locks and starts to hoist her up. He then smiles
as he hooks her head with his arm. He then hoists her up, but Katie spins
through and lands behind Savior. She pushes forward and pushes Savior into the
ropes, but Savior holds on. Katie rolls back. Savior then turns and walks over
to grab Katie, but Katie nails him with an uppercut. Savior’s caught off-guard
just long enough for Katie to jump up and dropkick him down to the mat.
Dawson: “Katie firing back with an uppercut and
then a dropkick!”
Sharper: “She’s nearly tasted the SCW World
Championship in the past. Christian Savior has. And as we said, it’s not a
for-sure, but Sasha made it clear that this may have title implications. That
has to be in the back of both people’s minds.”
Knots: “As is Christian, but he’s not too pleased
about the fact that it’s not made explicit.”
Savior pulls himself back up and Katie gets up and
nails him with a hard forearm. She then kicks him in the ribs. Katie then turns
and kicks Savior in the thigh. She then backs up and kicks him in the thigh
again. She then jumps up and hits another dropkick, knocking him down. Katie
rolls over and then walks to the middle of the ring and gives a curtsy,
garnering boos from the crowd. Savior starts to get up and Katie turns around
and runs up to Savior and jumps up, nailing him with a spinning heel kick,
knocking Savior through the ropes and then down to the floor. Savior slowly
gets up as Katie gets up and turns and grabs the referee’s attention just long
enough for TJ Johnson to run around and stomp Savior in the head. He then
stomps him again before then lifting Savior up and Savior suddenly pushes him
back. He then holds his head and turns around only for Katie to leave the
referee and runs forward and drills Savior in the ribs with a baseball slide.
Savior falls back and Katie then smiles as she stays in the ring and starts to
get up. The referee looks at Savior and starts to count. (1)
Sharper: “And there’s TJ Johnson getting involved
and taking Savior’s eye off the match long enough for Katie to really take
advantage.”
Knots: “Well I just hope that Savior spears TJ or
something. Take him out for a while. I guarantee that SCW will be far less
annoying!”
Savior slowly starts to pull himself up, grabbing
onto the barricade. (2) He holds his ribs a bit and then sees the referee
starting to count. (3) He smirks before looking at Katie Steward. Katie Steward
starts to move forward only for the referee to tell her to get back. TJ Johnson
turns and goes to go after Savior, but Savior nails him with a hard right
before then sliding into the ring. He gets up and Katie then gets past the
referee only for Savior to kick her in the ribs. He then turns and whips her
into the corner. Katie hits hard and Savior runs after her only for Katie to
move out of the way. Savior spears himself into the middle turnbuckle. He
slowly gets up and Katie kicks her in the ribs before dropping her with a DDT.
Savior rolls onto his back and Katie slowly gets up.
Sharper: “Hard DDT as Savior tried again for a
variation of that spear and it didn’t help him at all.”
Dawson: “This time, he went face first into the
middle turnbuckle. That can definitely cost you. It’s possible to get a
concussion, or Katie gets the advantage like she just did.”
Katie then looks back at Savior and jumps to the
nearest middle rope and dives back with an asai moonsault. She turns and hooks
the leg on Savior.

winces and Katie whips him into the ropes. Savior bounces off the ropes and
Katie jumps up and hits a spinning heel kick. She then turns and walks over to
the corner. She glances back before climbing up to the top rope. The crowd
starts to boo as Savior remains down. Katie then glances back again once at the
top rope and dives back with a praying moonsault, but Savior gets his knees up and
Katie hits hard and falls back, holding her ribs in pain. The crowd roars a bit
and Savior rolls over and slowly gets up.
Sharper: “No one home for Katie Steward with that
moonsault!”
Knots: “And Savior’s starting to plot. Remember.
He’ll take advantage of opportunities!”
Dawson: “And he has a great one here!”
Savior gets to his feet and Katie pulls herself up
but Savior waits for her to turn around before hoisting her up onto his
shoulders and then planting her with a Death Valley Driver. The crowd ohs and

ropes. Katie bounces off the ropes and Savior lifts her up and hits a hotshot.
The crowd ohs as Katie falls back, holding her throat in pain. Savior rolls
over and gets up. He then exits to the apron before starting to pull himself up
to the top rope. Savior looks down at Katie and then dives off and hits a
guillotine leg drop to the head of Katie. The crowd ohs and Savior rolls over,
holding his back in pain.
Sharper: “Guillotine leg drop. Trademarked Savior
maneuver right there!”
Knots: “And right on the face of Katie Steward too.
That just helps add insult to injury.”
Dawson: “Let’s hope that Katie doesn’t have any
photoshoots scheduled in the near future or we may never hear the end of it.”
Savior turns and rolls over before going for the
pin.

looks up, back to his feet on the floor. Savior then starts to climb up to the
middle rope and gets up a bit more only for Katie to then move her foot just
enough to hit a quick low blow kick to Savior. Savior immediately fells it and
holds himself in pain, but the referee, obviously not seeing it, looks around
in confusion.
Dawson: “What just happened?”
Sharper: “A quick shot to where it counts I guess.
I didn’t see it.”
Knots: “Neither did the referee if that’s the
case!”
Katie then pushes Savior off and Savior falls off

placing her foot against the throat of Savior and pushing back. Savior
struggles to breathe as Katie keeps pushing back and smiling.
Sharper: “Katie just choking the life out of Savior
in the corner.”
Knots: “Well they’ll both do whatever. Katie never
really cared for rules. Then again, that’s what TMZ says!”
The referee calls for the break.

dropping her with the Eye of the Beholder! The crowd ohs and Katie rolls over
and then falls to the mat.
Dawson: “Oh! Katie dropped right on her head!”
Knots: “Well, certainly not going to affect much!”
Sharper: “Eye of the Beholder by Christian Savior.
But he’s slow to get to the pinfall. Katie’s just getting a chance to recover!”
Christian Savior slowly turns and looks over to
Katie. Katie, however, also starts to stir as well. TJ Johnson yells out in

The crowd roars and a mixed reaction comes from the
Texas crowd. Savior rolls over slowly and onto his stomach. He then slowly
starts to pull himself up before rolling over and holding his jaw in pain. The
referee walks over and holds his arm up.
Phillips: “And here is your winner, “The Rising
Phoenix” Christian Savior!”
The crowd continues to give a mixed reaction. TJ

gets up and turns before seeing TJ Johnson yell out at Savior and Savior smirks
before turning and drilling TJ with his own Spear. The crowd cheers and Johnson
rolls over in pain, holding his ribs in pain. Savior looks down at him and
smiles before pulling himself up. The referee then walks over and raises his
arm again and Savior smiles as he looks out at the crowd. He then turns and
walks across the ring. Katie starts to roll over and looks before frowning at
Savior. Savior enjoys his moment.
Sharper: “Christian Savior spears Katie Steward and
picks up the win.”
Knots: “Now is this going to lead to a title shot
for him?”
Dawson: “We’ll find out. That’s up to Sasha
Drachewych.”
Knots: “Well I know Savior wants it. And I doubt
he’ll take no for an answer.”
Savior paces the ring before exiting the ring. He
then drops down before starting to make his way to the rampway. He takes off
his wrist tape before continuing on his way to the ring as his music continues
to play throughout the arena.
Sharper: “Congratulations to Christian Savior as he
has a good Rise to Greatness tonight, but we should also congratulate the
Dallas Metropolitan area, they’ve been fantastic to us the last couple of days
and in the weeks leading up to the event.”
Dawson: “And as a small token of gratitude to the
area, SCW brought its fan convention, SCW Fanfest, to the American Airlines
Center in Dallas, Texas. Let’s take a look at some of the sights and sounds of
SCW Fanfest.”
The scene fades into a shot of the lobby of the
American Airlines Center, showing a large number of fans moving from table to
table before switching to a shot inside the main arena. We see a shot of the
fans outside of the arena, lined up, cheering as the camera quickly moves past
the entire sea of humanity. We then cut back inside to show Jim Dawson.
Dawson: “Oh man, this is great. All these fans.
This is what we’re here to do.”
We see a shot of Jake Starr, positioned between David
Helms and Thorn, as a fan comes up with a program and Starr signs it. We then
cut to a teenage fan.
Teenage fan: “I got my program signed by Jake
Starr. Got a new SCW T-shirt, getting ready for Rise to Greatness. Thorn is
going to kick Greg Cherry’s ass!!”
His friends behind him cheer with him as the shot
changes to a shot of Gigi Steward standing in front of a line-up of fans, going
to see Katie Steward.
Gigi: “We’re being told hundred and thousands of
people are coming in here. You get to see fans from all over the world in one
place. This is huge!”
The scene then shows some fans showing off their
programs, freshly autographed by some SCW stars before turning to a shot of
CHBK taking a picture with one fan and then fading into a shot of Jason Zero
walking out onto a stage in the front part of the arena as Jessica Winters
stands to the side. She just can be seen smiling as Jason Zero stands on the
stage and looks out as the mass of people in front of him can be seen going
crazy. He then turns around before jokingly pointing to himself before
chuckling.
Cherry: “I still remember coming here as a fan back
in 2004 before I got signed. It’s great just talking to some of the fans. Some
of them wishing me luck. Some of them trying to get as many pictures taken.
This is what we do. And it’s great to give back.”
Another fan comes up, a younger fan and the
cameraman can be heard talking to him.
Cameraman: “What was your favourite part of SCW
Fanfest?”
The kid looks around a bit nervous before looking
up.
Kid: “Getting to go out on the-....on the stage!”
The kid turns away a bit, a bit nervous as the
child’s father smiles before we cut to a shot of some fans, various fans, all
walking out on the set, used for tonight’s Rise to Greatness special. A couple
just walk out and look around, before some of the more creative come out,
immediately posing, with one imitating Justin Davis and another pretending to
be Masquerade. The scene then cuts to show Syren posing back to back with Ravyn
Taylor as several fans take pictures. We then turn to a shot of her standing in
front of the line to Dark Fantasy.
Syren: “Like totally. Best fanfest EVER! Yeah!”
The scene then cuts to show Adam Sharper looking
around, talking to the cameraman.
Sharper: “You have everything here. From autographs
to going to the Hall of the Fame area and seeing some of the greats, live
interviews, getting to go out onto the stage, some poor individuals are calling
matches with TJ Johnson and Jonathan Knots. Trying to keep them in line in a
hassle...”
We then see a shot of one young fan calling a match
from last year’s Rise to Greatness, James Exeter vs. Shawn Winters, with
Jonathan Knots. This then cuts to a shot of the arena from different angles, showing
people walking around, buying souvenirs and getting autographs before the scene
cuts to black.
The scene then slowly reopens with a live shot of
Cowboys Stadium as the crowd can be seen cheering. The camera then fades into a
shot of some members of the Dallas Cowboys seated a ringside!
Sharper: “And ladies and gentlemen, the fans are
coming from all over, including the world of football, members of the Dallas
Cowboys, sitting at ringside to enjoy Rise to Greatness.”
Knots: “If only they’d get to the damn Superbowl!”
Sharper: “Well I can’t argue with that there. Cowboy
fan here through and through.”
The camera then turns and we see Kelly Clarkson
seated at another section of the floor area.
Dawson: “And Kelly Clarkson also enjoying some of
the action here tonight. The celebrities coming out for Supreme Championship
Wrestling’s biggest show of the year.”
“Down and Out” by Tantric starts to play over the
loud speakers. The crowd starts to roar before booing as the string intro ends
as flashes on the jumbo-tron illuminate a female silhouette. The silhouette
fades, and the words "THE SUICIDE QUEEN" appear in jagged letters,
and then fade. More flashes illuminate a picture of Rachel's eyes, and then
fade into the words "RACHEL FOXX". As the intro reaches its climax,
we hear a sadistic female laugh. The intro ends and loud guitars begin blaring
over the speakers as blue pyro shoots high into the air and then out from
around the screen on the set. A few moments pass before Rachel Foxx walks out
from the back, alone. She looks out at the crowd, grinning as boos come from
all over the stadium.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, this match is
scheduled for one-fall. First, on her way to the ring, hailing from Beverly
Hills, California, she is the Suicide Queen, Rachel Foxx!”
The boos become more pronounced as Rachel makes her
way down the long entrance way. She looks around as the boos continue.
Sharper: “This will be an interesting contest. We
don’t really know what to expect. A point that Jason Zero, in particular, has
stressed in recent weeks.”
Dawson: “Well there are a lot of questions
surrounding Jason Zero. He has a World Title shot on the debut episode of SCW’s
new show Friday Night Ammo on August 13th. He received this shot
from the Board and he’s since said that the matter with the shares has been
resolved.”
Sharper: “And he’s targeted Rachel Foxx because chaos
doesn’t need a reason.”
Knots: “Well with Rachel Foxx, brutality and
violence don’t need a reason!”
Rachel continues on her way to the ring before
getting a bit closer. She then runs to the ring and slides into the ring, when suddenly,
on the opposite side of the ring, Jason Zero rolls out from under the ring and
slides into the ring there. Rachel gets up and turns to continue her entrance,
when suddenly, Rachel runs at her and tackles her down. The crowd roars as the
referee turns and calls for the bell to start to the match and her music
abruptly ends.
Sharper: “Zero!”
Knots: “What in the world?! He was hiding under the
ring!”
Sharper: “And definitely caught Rachel Foxx off
guard.”
Dawson: “More of the expect the unexpected!”
Zero nails her with a couple of hard blows before
Rachel throws him off. Zero rolls over and gets to his feet. Rachel starts to
get up and Zero grabs her from behind and throws her chest first into the
corner. Rachel bounces back and Zero quickly nails her with a short clothesline
to the back of the head. Rachel drops down and then rolls over and starts to
get up to her feet. Zero quickly kicks her in the ribs and then hits a back
chop to the jaw and then a hard right before grabbing him and whipping him into
the ropes. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Zero jumps up and attempts a
leapfrog. Rachel runs underneath and bounces off the other side and Zero turns
and lifts her up for a hip toss. Rachel rolls over and gets back up and Zero
nails her with a chop, knocking her down. The crowd woos. Rachel slowly gets
back up and Zero hoists her up onto his shoulder, but Rachel manages to get
down off his shoulders and grabs him from behind. She then suddenly grabs him
in a waistlock, only to then suddenly drop down and hit a reverse drop toe hold
and then flip forward and into a jackknife pin.

Zero kicks out.
Dawson: “How about that? A bit of unpredictability
from Rachel.”
Sharper: “Set up for the German suplex, but instead
just took Zero with a leg takedown and went for the pin.”
Knots: “This is going to be interesting. Zero’s
going to be all unpredictable and whatever for chaos, but Rachel, if she wants,
she’ll just say to hell with the rules. I don’t know whether she wants a win at
Rise to Greatness. I don’t know whether she just wants to cause pain and
punishment to whomever she’s in the ring with.”
Zero gets back up and Rachel kicks him in the ribs
and then grabs him by the head and starts to bite him in the forehead. Zero
yells in pain as the referee moves in and calls for the break as Zero falls
back to the ropes.

Rachel stops and then kicks Zero in the ribs and
Zero falls back through the ropes and to the floor. Rachel then snaps at the referee
before turning to the ropes and Zero reaches out and grabs her by the leg and
pulls her down to her back and out of the ring before nailing her with a
straight right hand on the floor.(1)
Sharper: “Hard right hand and Rachel Foxx just
dropped.”
Dawson: “No matter how sadistic someone is, a right
hand is always effective.”
Rachel gets back up and Zero kicks her in the
ribs.(2) Zero then places her head between his legs and goes to lift her up on
the floor, but Rachel drops down and then suddenly rolls underneath the
ring.(3) Zero drops down and reaches under the ring. He then continues to feel
around. (4) He pops back up before looking around. Rachel however pops out on
the next side over around the ring before getting up and rolling into the ring.
Zero looks up and sees her and Rachel just runs towards the ropes and dives
through them and hits a tope onto Zero and knocking him down to the floor. The
crowd roars as Rachel slowly gets up. (1)
Knots: “Whoa! Rachel throwing some unpredictability
in there!”
Sharper: “Rachel Foxx going under the ring and then
coming out on a different side before hopping into the ring and hitting a
suicide dive through the ropes on the former seven time World Champion!”
Rachel turns and looks at Zero as he gets up and stomps
him in the head.(2) She then bends over and grabs him before rolling him into
the ring. She then hops onto the apron and Zero starts to get up. Rachel
slingshots herself into the ring before jumping up and dropkicking Zero back
down. Rachel then goes for the pin.

Zero kicks out. Rachel turns and mounts Zero right
after the kick out and starts to hammer away at Zero with shot after shot after
shot. She then gets up and Zero slowly starts to pull himself back up. Rachel
however grabs him and scoops him up, but Zero counters with a small package.

Rachel kicks out. Both get up and Rachel attempts a
clothesline, but Zero ducks and then jumps up and hits a pull-back Russian leg
sweep and Rachel rolls over, holding her head in pain.
Dawson: “Zero hitting that snap Russian leg sweep.
Rachel landed on her head and neck.”
Sharper: “Right now, this night is not looking
particularly great for either Rachel or Alex Desoubrais Jr.”
Knots: “You’d think that. But just think about the
fun they have licking each other’s wounds. Well...Alex Desoubrais Jr.
probably-”
Sharper: “Please stop.”
Zero gets up and turns before exiting to the apron.
He then stands there as Rachel rolls over and gets to her hands and knees and
Zero then springboards to the top rope before just jumping forward and landing
with a double stomp to the back of Rachel. The crowd ohs and then cheers a bit
as Zero walks around the ring. Rachel arches her back, rolling to her back and
Zero dives over and goes for the pin.

Rachel gets her shoulder up. Zero gets up and looks
at Rachel. He then smiles before grabbing her by the arm and starting to drag
her up. Zero lifts her up and then nails her with a heart punch. Rachel winces
and falls to her knees. Zero then turns and runs into the ropes before then
attempting a shining wizard. Rachel, however, ducks. Zero stops and turns
before Rachel jumps up and hits the Foxx Girl Stunner. The crowd ohs and Zero
rolls onto his back. Rachel rolls over and goes in the opposite direction,
crawling over to the ropes.
Sharper: “Stunner! Foxx Girl Stunner!”
Dawson: “And that’s put some guys out before.
Rachel however is rolling the wrong way!”
Knots: “Both of them are just throwing everything
at them, but keeping each other off-kilter.”
Sharper: “Both talked about chaos and we’re getting
a showcase of unpredictability to say the least.”
Rachel gets to the corner and then looks back. Zero
shakes his head, starting to stir and rolls over slowly. He then starts to get
to his knees and Rachel then turns and walks over and grabs Zero by the hair.
She drags him up before then just throwing him down with a hair-pull mat slam.
The referee snaps at Rachel and Rachel just ignores him before standing next to
Zero and hitting a standing moonsault. She then turns and goes for the pin.

Zero gets his shoulder up. Rachel looks up and then
looks up before grabbing Zero and dragging him back up. Rachel then chops him
in the chest. The crowd woos. Rachel chops him again before then grabbing Zero and
going to whip him into the ropes. Zero however spins through and sends Rachel
in. Rachel bounces off the ropes and Zero lifts her up onto his shoulders and
throws her back with a Samoan drop.
Sharper: “Samoan drop. Zero’s been using that move
expertly for years.”
Knots: “That’s not that chaotic.”
Sharper: “But it’s effective. That’s all that
matters.”
Rachel winces and slowly starts to roll over. Zero
gets up. He then looks at her before daring her in. Rachel turns and she then
suddenly reaches up and grabs the eyes of Zero. Zero yells in pain and the
referee calls for the break. Rachel rips away. She then laughs before turning
and running into the ropes, but Zero suddenly nails her with a back elbow.
Rachel falls to the mat and rolls over before Zero suddenly grabs her and
smacks her down to the mat with the Chaos Theory. The crowd ohs and Zero turns
and hooks the leg.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd roars and cheers as Zero rolls off of
Rachel and holds his eyes in pain. He slowly gets up and rubs his eyes some
more and falls back.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, you win, the
Personification of Chaos, Jason Zero!”
Sharper: “And Jason Zero escaped barely with his
eyesight and with a win going into his huge title opportunity on the debut
episode of Friday Night Ammo!”
Dawson: “Zero continues to gain momentum, but
Rachel Foxx nearly took him out on a number of occasions there.”
Zero starts to get up as he then stumbles to his
feet and walks over to the ropes. He leans on them and rubs his eyes. He then
looks up and shakes his head. Rachel slowly stirs behind him as Zero has his
arm raised. Zero rips it away and smiles before stepping through the ropes and
dropping down to the floor. Zero smiles as he looks out to the crowd and nods
as the cheers continue before he starts to walk to the back and the scene
slowly fades to black.
The SCW Breakdown logo comes up on the screen before fading
into a shot of pyro shooting into the air from the Breakdown stage before
turning and showing fans rising to their feet, chanting and cheering, waving
their banners in the air.
“SCW has made Wednesday nights THE night for wrestling
action. THE night for the best competition in the world. THE night for
entertainment.”
We see shots of Jake Starr hitting the shooting five star,
before seeing Jason Zero hit the Chaos Theory on some individual, before seeing
Katie Steward pose, and then flash to a shot of Aaron Rupp hitting the Rupp
Dat, followed by Karnivale walking to the ring.
“But now....SCW will start your weekend off right....”
The scene then cuts to an orange hue to show Jason Zero
hitting the Chaos Theory on Sasha Drachewych, before cutting to a shot of Greg
Cherry and Thorn engaged in a staredown.
“Because starting August 13th, SCW debuts a new
show, with the debut episode headlined by Jason Zero challenge the SCW World
Champion for his title...and...”
We then see Syren holding up her Women’s Championship before
showing a shot of Marina Trent posing and then Holly Adams running down to the
ring.
“Syren will defend her SCW Women’s Championship against the
winner of the Women’s Contendership Tournament. August 13th...circle
your calendars....Friday nights will never be the same again....”
The Friday Night Ammo logo then pops up on the screen and
remains there for a moment before slowly fading to black.
Sharper: “SCW will return to Friday nights in just a couple of
weeks. And that’s already shaping up to be a hell of a show.”
Knots: “But who will be the SCW World Champion? And will Syren have more gold with her?”
Sharper: “The answers to both of those questions still to come
tonight, but as for the question about Syren, that question will be answered
now...”
The scene cuts down to the ring as Jason Phillips stands in the
middle of the ring.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the
SCW World Tag Team Championship!”
The camera pans out as “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf plays throughout
the arena. The crowd starts to boo as a graphic comes up on the screen for the
SCW Tag Team Championship. Spotlights start to circle the arena before on the
big screen the following words come up:
Sinfully
Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy
Spotlights shine down onto the stage as several continue to circle
the stadium as Ravyn Taylor and Syren walk out from the back, Syren brandishing
the SCW Women’s Championship over her shoulder. The crowd boos louder as Ravyn
Taylor just looks out and smirks. Syren then sticks out her arm before Ravyn
hooks it and the two start to walk down towards the ring.
Phillips: “First, on their way to the ring, the challengers: At a
combined weight of two hundred and thirty-seven pounds, representing Dark
Triad, they are Ravyn Taylor and the SCW Women’s Champion, Syren, Dark
Fantasy!”
The crowd boos a bit more as the two make their way to the base of
the rampway and then over to the ring. Syren hops onto the apron as Ravyn walks
over to the steel steps and starts to make her way up them. Syren smirks as she
looks around before stepping through the ropes and pausing slightly and then
stepping in. Ravyn steps less seductively before Ravyn walks over to the
nearest corner and Syren goes to the one opposite. Both raise their arms in the
air, Syren raising her title high. Both then turn to each other and walk over
to the middle of the ring where Syren turns and looks down at the entrance way
as Marcus King is about halfway down, having made his way down after Ravyn and
Syren had made their entrance. King walks over to the ring and Syren smiles,
placing the title down on the apron before the two walk over to their corner.
Dawson: “I guess they’re not going to be alone.”
Sharper: “Of course not. Ravyn Taylors fingerprints are involved.
She clearly had them involved earlier against CHBK and now again here.”
Knots: “One success all things consider and maybe new Tag Team
Champions.”
Sharper: “Syren and Ravyn Taylor got this opportunity by defeating
Marina Trent and Shilo Valiant a little over six weeks ago. They have wanted
this chance for months. Can they make due on it or will Karnivale continue
their success?”
Syren and Ravyn wait in the ring as Marcus King walks around
ringside and grabs the SCW Women’s Championship from ringside. Just then, the
arena lights go out with one single spotlight shining down on the stage.
‘Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the circus of the strange, the sideshow of the
sinister, and the theatre of the bizarre. Enter a realm of dark wonders to
indulge in your wickedest dreams, or if you dare, explore the shadows of the
most diabolical nightmares. Cast your eyes on the cruel oddities of nature and
behold the monstrous creatures from the depths of the abyss. Marvel with awe
and dismay at unbelievable death defying acts that teeter on the very brink of
doom. Leave the mundane world behind, for those who visit this festival of
phantasm are never the same again. Step this way… There is no turning back.’
The stadium then gets eerily silent as the crowd can be heard
buzzing. Just then, two lights come out from the stage itself. Slowly, from
underneath the stage, the figures of Shilo Valiant and Masquerade start to rise
up as the light shines from underneath them. The US Championship and Tag Team
Championship sit on the shoulders of Shilo Valiant whereas the Adrenaline and
Tag Team Championships sit on the shoulders of Masquerade. Their ascent stops
as they stand now on the stage and just remain in the lights as some cheers
come from the crowd. A few brief moments elapse before suddenly from the top of
the entrance set and from the corners of the Cowboys Stadium’s distinct HD
screen that hangs in the center, streamers and small masks shoot out into the
crowd.
At that moment, “Calliope” begins to play throughout the arena and
the crowd roars as Shilo and Masquerade then move at the same time and walk
over to the middle of the entrance way. The lights begin to flash over them in
a myriad of colours. Shilo and Masquerade make their way down the rampway and
to the ring.
Phillips: “And their opponents, coming in at a combined weight of
three hundred and eighty-four pounds, they are the SCW Tag Team Champions, the
SCW United States Champion Shilo Valiant and the SCW Adrenaline Champion
Masquerade, Karnivale!”
The crowd cheers as Shilo and Masquerade then start to run towards
the ring. Both then slide into the ring and Masquerade flips up before looking
at both Syren and Ravyn Taylor. Shilo just pushes himself up to his knees and
then gets up before picking up his belts and holding them up in the air.
Masquerade grabs his belts before lifting them up. He then smiles before
handing his Tag Team Championship belt to the referee. Shilo then does the same
before both take their belts and place them down at their corner. Jason
Phillips then grabs them and takes them over to the timekeeper’s table for safe
keeping.
Sharper: “Karnivale has virtually defeated every team in some way
or another. But they have had little luck with Dark Fantasy.”
Dawson: “And Dark Fantasy has mainly defeated them with some help
of bending the rules. The referees have to be watching to make sure that
doesn’t happen tonight.”
The referee holds the Tag Team Championship over his head as the
crowd roars. Shilo Valiant remains in the ring as does Syren, with Masquerade
and Ravyn standing on the apron. He then turns and hands them off to Jason
Phillips who waits them before then placing them with the US and Adrenaline
Championships. The crowd continues to roar before the referee calls for the
bell. Syren just looks at Shilo as Shilo smiles and looks at her. Syren looks
back to Ravyn a bit disgusted as Ravyn just tells her she’s fine. Syren then
turns and looks at Shilo as the two continue to circle the ring. Shilo then
lunges, but Syren rolls underneath him and gets up. Shilo then turns as Syren
reaches up and rakes the eyes of Shilo. Shilo turns and Syren quickly kicks him
in the ribs. She then nails him with a forearm and then another and another.
Shilo loses his balance enough for Syren to then grab him and throw him into
the Dark Fantasy corner, but Shilo quickly realizes where he is and rolls
forward and out of the corner, glancing back before any real damage can be
done.
Knots: “Shilo Valiant got the hell out of there. I’d love to be
there!”
Sharper: “Well Shilo Valiant knows their M.O. They have no problem
double-teaming him in less than fair ways.”
Dawson: “And not in the way many people would want those two to do
so.”
Shilo then turns and looks up as Syren lunges and Shilo knees her
in the ribs. She then nails him with a chop. The crowd woos and Shilo then
whips her into the ropes. Syren bounces off the ropes and Shilo lifts her up,
but Syren spins through and lands behind. She then reaches back and tags in
Ravyn before jumping up and dropkicking him forward. Syren rolls out of the
ring as Ravyn climbs up to the top rope. Shilo turns around and Ravyn dives
forward and hits a crossbody, but Shilo rolls through into a pin.
1!
2!
Ravyn kicks out. She rolls over as Shilo gets up. Both get to their
feet and Ravyn attempts a hard right, but Shilo blocks it and then grabs her
and locks her in a side headlock.
Sharper: “Ravyn Taylor, the most inexperienced in this match, is
being dealt with in a very intelligent way by Shilo Valiant. Ravyn is the most
inexperienced wrestler. May as well then wrestle her.”
Dawson: “Side headlock. Elementary move, but done properly, it’s a
hold about control.”
Shilo keeps the hold locked in and Shilo then nails Ravyn in the
face with an open-palmed strike. Ravyn falls to a knee and Shilo jerks her back
up. Shilo then turns and knees her in the ribs before turning and fireman’s
carrying her down. Ravyn turns and Shilo goes for a reverse chinlock, but Ravyn
manages to turn and hook her foot on the bottom rope. The referee calls for the
break and Shilo just lets go and then backs up. Ravyn rolls over and looks up,
glaring at Shilo. She then suddenly pushes off and tries to tackle Shilo down,
but Shilo stumbles back, remaining on his feet. Masquerade tags himself in and
slingshots in. Ravyn realizes this and lets go, but Masquerade kicks her in the
ribs. She rolls over and Shilo exits the ring. Ravyn gets back up and
Masquerade grabs her by the arm and wrenches it. Ravyn winces and then rolls
forward and kicks up. Masquerade falls back. Ravyn then turns and rolls over.
Masquerade gets back up and Ravyn immediately reaches up and pokes him in the
eye. Masquerade turns and Ravyn then grabs him from behind, pulling him down
with a neckbreaker. Masquerade winces and Ravyn rolls over, smiling.
Sharper: “Ravyn with a poke to the eye getting the opportunity to
take Masquerade down.”
Knots: “Poke to the eye slows everyone down. That’s why people do
it!”
Dawson: “Too bad it’s against the damn rules!”
Knots: “The referee’s warning her. Come on! She’s guilty. I’d bet
on it.”
Sharper: “Yeah, right.”
The referee reprimands Ravyn as Ravyn then jumps up and drops her
fist to the head of Masquerade. She turns and goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Masquerade kicks out. Ravyn gets off as Masquerade rolls over and
pulls himself up. He then turns around and Ravyn kicks him in the ribs and then
drops down to her knees and nails him with an uppercut. Masquerade staggers
back. Ravyn then jumps up and nails him with a dropkick, knocking him down and
Masquerade falls to the corner. He rolls over and grabs on the ropes, starting
to lift himself up and Ravyn gets up before running at him and jumping up and
hitting a knee to the side of the head. Masquerade falls back to the corner and
then down to a seated position. Shilo starts to walk along the apron and Ravyn
turns and snaps at the referee to get him back. The referee walks over and
Shilo throws his arms up as he is escorted back. As he does, Ravyn places his
boot across the throat of Masquerade and pushes down. Masquerade is pushed
back, struggling to breathe as the crowd boos.
Sharper: “Using the referee to get Shilo back just to break the
rules!”
Dawson: “Ravyn will always find these ways. You almost need a
second referee at ringside to watch for this stuff.”
The referee turns around and sees Ravyn choking Masquerade and
starts to immediately call for the break, initiating the count.
1!

Ravyn finally lets go and smirks as she backs up. She then walks
around the ring before smiling and walking over to Shilo. She just smirks at
him and Shilo glares. Masquerade starts to pull himself up and Ravyn walks over
and kicks him in the ribs. Masquerade winces. Ravyn then grabs him by the head
and goes for a DDT, but Masquerade lifts her up and over the top rope and then
down to the floor. Ravyn hits hard and rolls over and Masquerade then turns and
looks over at her. Ravyn starts to pull herself up and stumbles over to the
entrance way only for Masquerade to run over and jump to the middle rope and
then dive over and hit a flip dive. But as he does, Shilo tags himself in.
Masquerade lands on Ravyn as the crowd cheers. Masquerade rolls over and Marcus
King starts to walk around the ring towards them. Shilo meanwhile starts to
climb up to the top rope as Syren starts to yell at Ravyn from across the ring.
Ravyn slowly gets up as Masquerade jogs away from her and back to the steel
steps. Marcus King walks over to check on Ravyn only for the referee to tell
Marcus to get away and Shilo dives off the top rope and hits a moonsault onto
Marcus and Ravyn! The crowd cheers again and Shilo rolls over, holding his ribs
in pain and smiling.
Sharper: “Flip dive and a moonsault!”
Dawson: “And Marcus King gets hit with it for good measure!”
Knots: “Marcus King was going to check on Ravyn!”
Sharper: “And he got caught!”
Shilo Valiant pulls himself up as the crowd continues to cheer. He
then turns and goes for Ravyn and rolls her into the ring. Syren immediately
enters the ring and runs over and grabs Ravyn as Marcus King stirs. The referee
watches King as Shilo hops onto the apron and King gets up and stumbles back
off towards the Dark Fantasy corner. Shilo enters the ring as Syren drags Ravyn
towards the Dark Fantasy corner and the referee turns. Immediately he runs over
and tells Syren to leave the ring. Shilo runs over, noticing that Syren has Ravyn
nearly at her corner and grabs her and starts to drag her back towards the
middle of the ring and just as Syren exits the ring, Ravyn counters with a low
blow and Shilo falls back. Ravyn falls back and rolls over before starting to
crawl towards Syren as the crowd boos.
Dawson: “A low blow! And Syren who was trying to get Ravyn to the
Dark Fantasy corner helped enable it!”
Knots: “She just cares about Ravyn and tried to help her out. Ravyn
just decided Shilo’s jewels need to be knocked around!”
Ravyn continues on her way towards Syren as Shilo rolls over
slowly. He slowly starts to get up and Ravyn tags in Syren. Syren enters the
ring and runs over to Shilo and jumps up and hits a facebuster from behind,
knocking him back down. Shilo rolls over and Syren jumps up and hits a leg drop
to his head. She rolls over and gets up and Shilo winces. Syren turns and grabs
Shilo and starts to lift him up and then kicks him in the ribs. She then turns
and whips Shilo into the ropes. Shilo bounces off the ropes and Syren jumps up
and hits a spinning heel kick. The crowd boos and Syren turns and goes for the
pin.
1!

Shilo kicks out just as Masquerade dives into the ring. The referee
turns and tells Masquerade to leave. Masquerade gets up and backs away only for
Syren to grab Shilo and drag him up. She nails him with a hard forearm and then
another. She then whips him back and into a neutral corner. Syren turns and
runs after Shilo and jumps back and hits a running back splash into the corner.
Shilo winces and Syren then grabs him and snapmares him over. She then turns
and exits to the apron and starts to climb up to the top rope. Ravyn stands on
the apron and watches as Shilo remains down.
Sharper: “Syren has come in and turned this entire match back to
Dark Fantasy!”
Dawson: “That low blow helped, but she’s since kept the pressure
on!”
Knots: “They say most girls love diamonds. These girls want gold!”
Syren gets to the top rope and looks down at Shilo. Shilo then
starts to move and rolls over a bit and Ravyn turns and yells at Syren, telling
her that Shilo’s moving. Syren then jumps down and drives her knee into the
back of Shilo’s head, immediately heeding Ravyn’s advice. Shilo rolls over and
Syren grabs him and drags him up. She then smiles as she then grabs him by the
head and goes for a DDT, but Shilo tries to lift her up. Syren however kicks
her legs and drops back down. She tries to pull him down again, but Shilo then
hoists her up again, but Syren counters with a sunset flip this time.
1!
2!
Shilo gets his shoulder up, but as he does, Masquerade enters and
kicks Syren in the head. Shilo rolls over and winces as the referee again gets
Masquerade out. Syren rolls over and starts to stir as Ravyn enters the ring
and goes over to stomp Shilo. Shilo, however, blocks it and holds on.
Masquerade immediately enters the ring, realizing this and the referee turns
around and sees Ravyn in. He runs over and starts to get her out. Ravyn
immediately protests, throwing her arms in the air as Shilo lets go. He then rolls
over and Syren turns and grabs Shilo and lifts him up only for Shilo to
suddenly hoist Syren up and spin her out with a TKO. The crowd ohs and Syren
rolls over onto her back as Shilo rolls over. He then slowly stirs.
Dawson: “Ravyn is sent back as a bit of teamwork from Karnivale
gets her plan thwarted! And now Syren’s down!”
Sharper: “Thanks to a TKO! Shilo countered, a much needed
reprieve!”
Syren slowly rolls over as well and Shilo starts to get up.
Masquerade calls for the tag as Shilo starts to get up. Syren rolls over and
gets up and turns only for Shilo to grab her and hit a reverse DDT. Shilo then
rolls over and turns and dives for the tag. Masquerade tags back in and the
crowd roars as Masquerade climbs up to the top rope. Ravyn looks around and
turns to Marcus. Marcus hops onto the apron and Masquerade ignores him, but
this allows Ravyn to enter the ring. Syren gets up and Masquerade dives forward
as Ravyn actually stands back, realizing running at Masquerade would be
foolish. Masquerade hits Syren with a leg lariat from the top rope. He rolls
over and gets back up and Ravyn then runs at Masquearde, but Masquerade ducks.
Ravyn stops and turns around and Masquerade jumps up and takes her over with a
hurricanrana. The crowd cheers again and Ravyn rolls out of the ring as Marcus
King drops down angry. The referee turns around and Masquerade turns and Syren
gets up and Masquerade looks to her before scooping her up and then dropping
her with a Michinoku driver. He then reaches forward and pulls the leg back!

Syren kicks out and the crowd roars. Masquerade rolls back and gets
back up. Marcus starts to walk around the ring as Ravyn starts to get up.
Masquerade turns and grabs Syren and lifts her up. Shilo stands on the apron
and Masquerade then whips her into the ropes. Syren bounces off the ropes and
Masquerade then attempts a clothesline. Syren ducks and then jumps up to the
middle rope, and dives back and nails Masquerade with a back elbow. She then
rolls over and Ravyn hops back onto the apron, wincing a bit. Masquerade gets
back up as Syren turns and starts to crawl towards Ravyn.
Dawson: “Syren hits that back elbow. She’s now trying for the tag.”
Knots: “And Ravyn is back on the apron. But I’m getting concerned
here. Karnivale has managed to get to both when they get their huge offense
going!”
Syren manages to get up a bit and Masquerade turns and grabs the
ropes. He then holds on and Syren hops up to her feet. She reaches for the tag
and Ravyn reaches out as well. Syren then jumps up and attempts an enziguri,
but Masquerade ducks. He then grabs Syren by the legs and pulls back before
then hoisting Syren up and swinging her back with a wheelbarrow suplex. The
crowd ohs and Syren holds her head in pain. Masquerade then rolls over and rolls
through for the pin.
1!

Ravyn enters the ring and runs over and stomps Masquerade in the
head, breaking the pin. Ravyn then exits the ring, looking at Masquerade with a
glare. Masquerade rolls over and grabs Syren and slowly hoists her up. He then
turns and whips Syren into the ropes. Masquerade runs after her and runs
against the ropes. Syren bounces off and Masquerade bounces off right after.
Syren stops and turns around as Shilo makes the blind tag and Masquerade jumps
up and hits a flying clothesline. Syren rolls over and starts to get up and
Shilo jumps to the top rope. He then dives forward and hits a missile dropkick.
Syren rolls back and then ends up near the ropes across the ring on her
stomach. Marcus King then grabs her and drags her over from the floor and over
towards the Dark Fantasy corner. Shilo gets up and yells at the referee. Ravyn
however tags herself in and the referee acknowledges it before turning and
looking at Marcus before ordering him to the back. Ravyn, however, ignores that
entirely and runs towards Shilo and kicks him in the ribs before he can react!
Marcus King just holds his arms up and without any protest starts to leave the
ringside area.
Knots: “Look! They’re abiding by the rules! Marcus King is
leaving!”
Sharper: “After dragging Syren across the ring!”
Dawson: “And Ravyn got the tag. The referee allowed it and Shilo,
trying to get the referee to do his job, gets caught.”
Sharper: “Ravyn seems to be almost overloading the referee. Doing
so much that the referee has to almost prioritize on the spot for his calls!”
Dawson: “Regardless, Karnivale has done a good job counteracting
most of it!”
Ravyn kicks Shilo again as Syren gets to the apron. Marcus King
turns the corner the ring and continues on his way to the rmapway and towards
the back. Ravyn then turns and grabs Shilo by the arm and pulls him back,
dropping him with a single armed straight jacket neckbreaker. She turns and
goes for the pin.

Shilo kicks out. She then rolls over and grabs Shilo. She smirks
before grabbing him in a headlock and nailing him in the throat with a palm
thrust. She then turns and runs towards the ropes before attempting a running
Yakuza kick, but Shilo ducks. Ravyn stops and turns around and Shilo then nails
her with a European uppercut. Ravyn staggers back and Shilo turns and attempts
a clothesline, but Ravyn ducks. She then stops as Shilo turns around and Ravyn
jumps up and hits a straight kick to the chest. Ravyn then runs towards Shilo,
but Shilo lifts himself up and hooks Ravyn’s arms before turning and reaching
over and locking her up in the Necromantic. The crowd roars as Ravyn yells in
pain.
Knots: “That’s an illegal move!”
Dawson: “Yeah and he’s got until five!”
The referee goes over and calls for the break. Syren, unhappy,
jumps down and runs around the ring. Masquerade notices this.

Syren turns the corner and Masquerade runs forward and jumps up and
wraps his legs around the head of Syren and spins through with a hurricanrana.
The crowd erupts in cheers.

Shilo then lets go and pulls himself back into the ring as Ravyn
falls forward. Shilo then turns and walks over to the middle of the ring. He
turns to Ravyn as Ravyn starts to stir. Shilo looks around before shouting out
“NECRO!” only for the crowd to shout back. They start to cheer as Ravyn
stumbles forward and Shilo kicks her in the ribs and then hoists her up in a
gutwrench.
Sharper: “Shilo! He may be going for the Overdose!”
Knots: “Ravyn! Fight out of it! This is your opportunity! The
opportunity you wanted! Karnivale is about to steal it from you!”
Dawson: “Steal it? Hardly. Win it! Yeah!”
Ravyn tries to counter as Masquerade turns and stumbles back to the
corner. Syren rolls over and starts to crawl away. Shilo then drops Ravyn
Taylor with the Overdose and Ravyn falls to the mat. Shilo turns as the crowd
is going nuts as Shilo turns and goes for the pin.

Syren however pulls Ravyn and places her foot under the plane of
the ropes. The referee throws his arm in the air, ending the count. Shilo looks
up confused. He then glances back and sees Ravyn down. Syren hops onto the
apron and manages to tag herself in, by tagging Ravyn’s boot. Shilo grabs Ravyn
and hoists her up before dragging her over to the Karnivale corner. Syren
however just waits on the apron, clearly looking unhappy about letting Ravyn
get pulled across. Shilo then kicks her in the ribs and Masquerade tags himself
in. Shilo then hoists Ravyn up in a powerbomb position and Masquerade climbs up
to the top rope. He then leans forward and jumps off and hits an inverted leg
lariat into a reverse DDT/powerbomb combo. The crowd ohs and Masquerade rolls
over and Shilo exits the ring to allow the counter, but Syren then enters the
ring and jumps up and grabs Masquerade and hits the Total Makeover. The crowd
ohs and Syren turns and goes for the pin. Shilo turns and sees this.

Shilo dives into the ring, but Ravyn manages to turn and trip him
up.

3!
Shilo dives on top of Syren, but the referee calls for the bell.
Syren rolls out from under Shilo and rolls to the apron. Ravyn rolls over as
well and manages to very slowly get to the floor. Shilo looks up in disbelief
as Masquerade holds his head in pain.
Sharper: “Dark Fantasy has stolen it!”
Knots: “I love when a plan comes together!”
Sharper: “Shilo and Masquerade planted Ravyn, but Syren tagged
herself in and just waited!”
Dawson: “The referee was even counting, but Karnivale didn’t even
notice it!”
The referee turns and exits the ring before being handed the SCW
World Tag Team Championship. He then turns and Syren immediately starts to walk
over to Ravyn Taylor.
Phillips: “Here are your winners and NEW SCW World Tag Team
Champions, Ravyn Taylor and Syren, Dark Fantasy!”
Shilo immediately throws his arm up in the air, twisting around in
absolute anger. Syren just looks up as the referee hands her her tag title and
then does the same to Ravyn. Syren, however, holds Ravyn up and the two
gingerly raise their belts in the air. Masquerade starts to pull himself up as
Shilo just turns and clearly shows his unhappiness as he shakes his head. Syren
and Ravyn just continue to raise their belts as Syren brings her down and looks
into it.
Knots: “I guess Syren’s going to be happy tonight. She got a new
title!”
Dawson: “Yeah and Karnivale is not happy and trust me when I say
this, Karnivale and Dark Fantasy will meet again.”
Sharper: “But something tells me that Dark Fantasy is going to look
to make them ‘earn’ their shot.”
Knots: “But of course!”
She smiles as she continues to walk to the back, helping Ravyn with
her. Masquerade continues to pull himself up as Shilo just paces the ring in
disbelief and we go backstage.
Backstage we see Marisa Condolesa standing in front of the SCW
interview area and looking right at the camera. The crowd roars as Condolesa
smiles.
Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight has already been a hell
of a night. We now have new Tag Team Champions and it seems like Dark Triad’s night
was a solid one. As we saw earlier, Mr. Drachewych has returned to SCW and we’re
still a bit foggy on his motivations. Obviously he came back and attacked CHBK
and helped Lucas Knight win that match. But he also has problems with many
others still to compete, particularly Greg Cherry. Some people are speculating
that will be the case. I tried to get an interview with Drachewych who went
into the Dark Triad locker room only to have the door slammed shut in my face.
But while that was the case, I managed to get someone else to lend me their
thoughts....Greg Cherry.”
The crowd roars and cheers as Greg Cherry comes into view, wearing
his wrestling attire. He looks down, clearly unimpressed.
Condolesa: “Now, obviously you’re getting ready for your huge SCW
World Championship match later tonight, but what does this latest development
do to your gameplan?”
Greg: “Well Marisa....I could stand here and say maybe this is an
elaborate plan by Thorn to try and get my past to help him retain....sweet
irony. This could also be an opportunity for me to immediately tell the world
that myself and Drachewych are not aligned. Thorn may be thinking that right
now especially considering the coincidence of him returning at Rise to
Greatness...or...”
Greg pauses and turns right to the camera.
Greg: “Or nothing. I figured we were past that all and tonight, I’m
going into that ring to beat Thorn to get back the SCW World Championship! All
Mr. D’s appearance does is just reinforce that I may have to look over my
shoulder. Because to be honest, if he’s coming out to that ring, it’s to screw
me over. I hope he does though...because if he does, I’ll drop him again like I
did back in March. And then I’ll turn and drop you with the Cherry Pit Thorn,
just like I did last night. And then, the scene that will replay is not the one
from Breakdown, but the one from last night. I will stand over you...the only
difference...I will stand over you as the SCW World Champion.”
The crowd roars as the camera focuses on Greg Cherry for a few more
moments before we cut back to ringside.
The scene opens up in the middle of the ring to see Jason Phillips
standing in the ring with a huge smile on his face.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been informed of the
official attendance for SCW Rise to Greatness 2010....and we have set a new
indoor attendance record for professional wrestling as one hundred and six
thousand, eight hundred thirty-two! Thank you all for coming to Rise to
Greatness!”
The crowd roars as a graphic comes on the screen stating the
attendance “106, 832” as the camera starts to pan throughout the crowd as they
cheer and wave their banners.
Sharper: “Unbelievable! SCW continuing to set the bar for
professional wrestling. The largest attendance for an event in North America
too.”
Dawson: “And so much more here to come. Thank you to all who
supported us here for Rise to Greatness.”
Sharper: “But while we’ve gotten great support, Justin Davis has
not from Glacier himself. And in a few moments, we will see Justin Davis and
Glacier go at it in a first blood match. Let’s take a look at the history and
how we came to this very personal encounter.”
RECAP:
Floating flute melodies play in
the background as we see shots of Glacier and Davis standing side by side in
the ring before showing Davis tagging in Glacier during a past match, and then
showing them walking backstage, talking, seemingly as they head to the ring.
The scene then switches to
Taking Hold of the Flame, as the music continues to play. The crowd can be
heard booing and Davis is shown getting up, holding his neck a bit before he
grabs Thorn. Thorn turns around and Davis suddenly hoists him up before
spinning him over and into the Lip Sealer! The crowd ohs and Thorn rolls over.
Davis then turns and goes for the pin.
1!
2!
Suddenly, the referee is pulled
out of the crowd. The crowd roars and Davis looks around as the referee turns
and looks at Glacier. Davis just turns and gets up and walks over to the ropes
and Glacier then suddenly spews into his face, hitting the Ice Mist. The music
suddenly changes. Davis turns around and falls to his knees. He rubs his eyes
furiously as Glacier then turns around and starts to walk off.
Dawson: “Glacier just attacked
his own friend!”
Sharper: “What? Why? He just
spewed that mist into his eyes!”
Glacier walks away before
turning back to Davis and smirking. The visual remains before cutting to the
Breakdown on June 23, 2010.
Glacier: “So it seems like I’ve
gotten Justin Davis’ attention. I know he’s now not going to run. I know he’s
not going to let me down again. So I know that I need to prepare for the fight
of my life. And Davis also knows, he’ll have to do the same.”
Shots of the previous week,
Davis’ revenge, hitting the Lip Sealer on Glacier into a steel chair and
striking him with a sledgehammer are shown as Glacier speaks.
Glacier: “See, since I’ve
returned, I’ve heard one question over and over again. Since February, why am I
with Justin Davis...”
As Glacier speaks, the scene
from October 1, 2008 plays in the background in black and white. Hudson
suddenly kicks Glacier right in the side of the head, knocking him back into
the wall. The crowd ohs and Davis then walks over and grabs Glacier and pulls
him up before turning and throwing him hard into the concrete wall of the room.
Glacier staggers back and Hudson grabs Glacier and throws him back into the
wall again. Glacier’s head bounces off the wall before he rolls off the bench
and down to the floor. Davis then moves and stomps Glacier in the back of the
head before stomping him again. Hudson reaches into Glacier’s back and grabs
the other half of the Tag Team Championship belt. He then turns and hands it to
Davis. Hudson then turns to Glacier briefly before turning around and walking
out of the room. Davis walks out, following Hudson as the cameraman focuses on
the downed body of Glacier.
Glacier: “...Why am I with the
man who screwed me over years ago? Well the answer now reveals itself....He was
at the top of his game. He had everything he wanted. And I knew it was time to
stop the charade...I knew it was time to finally stab the backstabber in the
back.”
Sharper: “Glacier and Davis...Rise
to Greatness and in a first blood match...wow....”
3...

1....
The music again turns into a
distorted version as we see Justin Davis walking out with a sledgehammer.
Davis: “You know Anthony, I did
trust you like a brother. But it seems to me that you’re forgetting who you’re
dealing with. You want First Blood....Sure. You’ve got it. But Anthony...you
forget....I could care less if you make it to Rise to Greatness or not. Because
you took what I wanted more than anything else, the SCW World Title. And for
that....I’m going to take what you have left....any semblance of a career!”
Glacier then drops to his knees.
Glacier: “I’ve been planning
revenge for two years Justin. Do you really think this was it?”
Chanting can be heard in the
background as we fade to a shot of Davis standing in the ring before Glacier
walks out from July 7, showing Glacier holding Amber, Davis’ former girlfriend,
seemingly hostage.
Dawson: “Oh my God! That’s
Amber!”
Sharper: “Amber? That’s Davis’
former girlfriend. The same one that threw in the towel for Davis one year ago
at Taking Hold of the Flame. Glacier has Amber? I heard she was...well...dead.”
Knots: “Well she looks alive. Just
not too happy!”
Glacier: “A bit surprised to see
someone Justin! I know...I know. You thought she was dead. But no, I just made
her disappear for a while.”
Davis is shown looking entirely
concerned as Glacier smirks.
Glacier: “So Justin, you want
Amber....take that microphone in your hand....and make yourself bleed right
now....I want you to strip yourself of ALL of your defences. How badly do you
want her? Are you willing to sacrifice your career-defining moment for her! Are
you ready to essentially ENSURE my ability to get EXACTLY what I want at Rise
to Greatness?”
Davis is then shown hitting
himself in the head before again and again, as blood starts to flow. Glacier
just can be seen smirking, before fading into a shot of Glacier standing at the
sight of Davis’ old house. As Glacier’s voice again comes over the music and
the visual, we see shots of Justin Davis sitting backstage, completely
distracted, completely dishearted.
Glacier: “This past year, you’ve
lost your girl. You’ve lost your house. You’ve lost titles. And at Rise to
Greatness, I am going to make you lose your dignity. I know you’re
already weakened. I know you’re not all there now. And that cut on your head
that I made you open...it’s not going to be fully healed. And at Rise to
Greatness, when I finally decide to end the torture, I’m going to have Amber at
ringside. She can watch as I then make you bleed all over that arena. And then
I will take away your ability to have your Rise to Greatness moment. I will
take away your pride. And I will have succeeded in inflicting karma to its
utmost ends.”
This then switches to a shot of
Glacier smirking, up close.
Glacier: “They’ve always said
that I have ice running through my veins....well Justin...it just took you to
prove it. See you at Rise to Greatness.....I hope you’re looking forward to it
as much as I am!”
The chanting ends with a long
drawn out note before fading to black, focusing on Glacier’s sadistic face.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the First
Blood Match!”
The crowd cheers as the big screen lights up.

White pyro shoots from the entrance way and shoots up high into the
air. “Awake and Alive” by Skillet blares through the stadium. The crowd roars
before Justin Davis slowly walks out from the back. He takes a few steps before
looking out at the crowd before looking around. He then rubs his jaw before
taking a deep breath. He then starts to make his way down the rampway, starting
to walk down the rampway to the ring.
Phillips: “First on his way to the ring, hailing from Boston,
Massachusetts, he is Justin Davis!”
Davis continues on his way to the ring as his music continues to
play. He just walks past the numerous fans and continues on his way to the
ring. The crowd cheering for him. He then makes his way to ringside and hops
onto the apron. He then enters the ring and walks around the ring, smacking his
face, trying to keep himself focused before turning around and looking to the
entrance way, awaiting Glacier.
Sharper: “Glacier has made the last two months for Justin Davis an
absolute hell. He has made it insanely personal and as we already saw earlier
tonight, Glacier will be bringing Justin Davis’ former girlfriend to ringside
to watch this.”
Dawson: “And Glacier has made it such that this is the night he can
get that revenge. Davis was forced to bust himself open two weeks ago.”
Knots: “He had stitches. And they may seem healed, but they’re not.
That forehead of Davis’ is going to still be tender.”
Justin Davis continues to look at the arena before blue spotlights
start to circle the stadium before “Cold as Ice” by Foreigner begins to play
throughout the arena. Smoke starts to pour out onto the stage and slowly from
the back, Glacier walks out and dragging out with him is Amber. The crowd
starts to boo loudly as Glacier appears. He just smiles as Davis glares at him
from the ring. Glacier then starts to jerk on Amber and starts to drag her down
the rampway towards the ring.
Phillips: “And on his way to the ring, his opponent, hailing from
Trenton, New Jersey, he is Anthony ‘Glacier’ Thomas!”
The crowd continues to boo as Glacier continues to drag Amber down
to the ring. Amber tries to pull back, but Glacier drags her still and the two
walk down the rampway. Amber just looks up at the ring as Davis looks at her
and Glacier. Glacier gets to the ring and smiles before then grabbing Amber and
looking at her and then Davis. He then reaches into his back pocket before
pulling out a pair of handcuffs. He places one end on Amber’s wrist before
dragging her to the ring. Amber nearly already starts to tear up as Glacier
then looks at Davis and laughs before handcuffing Amber to the bottom rope.
Sharper: “Oh come on! He’s handcuffed Amber to the ring!”
Dawson: “He said she was going to watch...oh man. This is...this is
off the page!”
Amber tries to pull away, but Glacier just backs up and smirks
before Davis then runs to the ropes and steps through the ropes and to the
floor. He then turns and nails Glacier with a hard right. The crowd cheers as
Glacier falls back and Davis nails him with another, knocking him down. The
bell sounds to start the match. Davis then turns around and goes over to Amber
and checks on her before grabbing the handcuff and pulling on it. Glacier,
however, pulls himself back up and as Davis tries to fiddle with the handcuffs,
Glacier nails him in the back. Davis falls over and Glacier then nails him with
a hard right to the ribs. He then grabs him by the head and spins him around
and away from Amber before throwing him face first into the ringpost. Davis
spins out and rolls to the floor before slowly getting back up.
Knots: “Davis needs to be more careful than that! Something like
that could bust him open!”
Dawson: “And Glacier knows that. But he’s immediately taken Davis
out of his game.”
Sharper: “Yeah. And Amber’s presence here will only serve to
reinforce that.”
Davis gets to his feet and Glacier walks over and kicks him in the
ribs. He then hoists him up before dropping him ribs first on the barricade.
The crowd ohs while some of the ringside fans walk over and immediately get
next to Davis only for security to push them back. Glacier then turns and backs
up before smiling and running at Davis and booting him in the side of the head.
Davis rolls off the barricade and falls to the floor. Glacier turns and walks
over and grabs Davis and lifts him up as Amber looks on. Glacier then nails
Davis with a hard right. He turns and throws Davis into the ring. Glacier then
hops onto the apron. He then steps through and Davis starts to get up and
Glacier runs at him and clotheslines him down. The crowd boos as Glacier then
walks around the ring. He then turns and looks at Davis before jumping up and
driving his knee into his forehead. Davis rolls over, and starts to touch his
head. The referee checks as well, but fortunately, no blood.
Dawson: “That was close right there!”
Sharper: “Something as simple as a knee drop can bust you open.
Take the knee and just drive it down. You hit it the right way, you can cause a
cut on the forehead.”
Knots: “Broken nose.”
Sharper: “That would work just as well in this situation.”
Davis starts to stir and Glacier turns and grabs him before
hoisting him up and throwing him down with a back suplex. The crowd boos some
more and Glacier rolls over. He then looks at Davis before walking over to the
corner. He then reaches at the top turnbuckle and starts to unfasten the
turnbuckle cover. Glacier pulls out the tie and then throws the turnbuckle
cover down. Davis starts to slowly stir and get back up and Glacier walks over
and grabs Davis and nails him in the back with a clubbing blow. He then knees
him in the ribs. Davis winces and stumbles back. Glacier turns and grabs him
and nails him with a hard right. He then turns and grabs him by the head and
smiles before turning and starting to go for the corner, but then stops with a
knee to Davis’ ribs. He just shakes his head before then kicking him again in
the ribs. Davis winces and Glacier turns and nails him with a swinging blow to
the ribs again and Davis drops to his knees.
Dawson: “What was that about?”
Knots: “He had a great chance to end this fast. Hell, it could be
the fastest first blood match in SCW history! That would be pretty humiliating
for Davis!”
Sharper: “Maybe he wants to torture him. He’s going for the ribs.
Maybe he’s trying to cause internal injuries. Bleeding from the inside. The
referee sees that, that’s first blood too!”
Davis starts to get up, clearly in pain and Glacier grabs him in a
gutwrench. He then lifts him up and hits a gutbuster. Davis rolls over in pain
and holds his ribs in pain. He grabs at the ropes and starts to slowly pull
himself up and Glacier walks over and smiles as Amber just yells at Glacier to
stop. Glacier then grabs Davis and turns before lifting him up in a front face
lock and then dropping him chest first on the top rope. The crowd ohs and Davis
grimaces in pain and Glacier just drops down to the mat and rolls to the floor.
He then reaches under the ring and looks around before finally finding his
weapon of choice, a simple steel folding chair. He lifts it up and smiles as
Davis pulls himself onto the apron. He then turns and Glacier turns to him and
Davis suddenly jumps off and hits a diving kick, knocking the chair back into
the face of Glacier. The crowd cheers as Glacier goes down. He rolls over and
the camera gets a great shot of Glacier’s face, showing it’s still uncut. Davis
then grabs him and lifts him up before back suplexing him on the floor.
Knots: “Davis with a back suplex on the floor! Did you hear that
thud!”
Sharper: “Yes I did. But it doesn’t help much. You need to lacerate
your opponent in some way. You need to cause them to bleed.”
Knots: “Well if he landed on his kidneys...but that may not help
much!”
Davis then rolls over and crawls over to the chair Glacier had dragged
out. Glacier rolls over slowly and starts to pull himself up via the barricade
before Davis grabs the steel chair. Glacier gets up and Davis then turns and
drives the end of the chair into the ribs of Glacier. The crowd cheers and
Davis turns before driving the chair down into the back of Glacier. Glacier
falls to the ground in pain and Davis turns and slides the chair into the ring.
Davis then turns and grabs Glacier and lifts him up. He then turns and drags
him over and drives him face first into the steel steps. Glacier pops up and
stumbles back and Davis then smiles and drills him with a superkick. Glacier
falls back to the mats as Davis looks around and starts to breath heavier and
heavier.
Dawson: “The rage of Justin Davis at this point, it has to be
boiling over.”
Sharper: “He has Glacier down thanks to that superkick. He now has
a brief opportunity to plot, perhaps to gain an opportunity to bust Glacier
open!”
Glacier stirs a bit and Davis walks over to Glacier and lifts him
up before nailing him with a hard right. Glacier turns and falls to his knees.
Davis grabs him and drags him up and rolls him into the ring. Davis slides in
afterwards and Davis turns and looks at the chair before sliding it into the
middle of the ring. Glacier then gets up and Davis quickly kicks him in the
ribs. Davis then grabs him by the head and turns before driving Glacier into
the steel chair with a DDT! The crowd ohs and Glacier rolls onto his back.
Davis turns and looks at him and yells out in anger as Glacier remains not
bleeding. Davis then gets up and grabs the steel chair. Glacier starts to
slowly pull himself up, touching his face a bit before getting up and Davis
then turns and swings, drilling Glacier right in the head with a vicious chair
shot. The crowd ohs as Glacier just falls back to the mat. Davis throws the
chair down as Glacier is laid out. The referee checks him but then rules the
match to continue.
Knots: “Holy hell! Glacier’s brain has to be scrambled from that
one!”
Dawson: “Like a gunshot going off, that echoed all throughout
Cowboys Stadium.”
Sharper: “And over one hundred thousand just watched it and heard
it here!”
Dawson: “Imagine how much Davis wanted to do that.”
Glacier stirs very slowly. Davis then looks around before seeing
the unprotected turnbuckle in the corner. Davis turns and walks over to Glacier
and drags him up before smiling and then turning and going to drag him over to
the corner, but Glacier suddenly lifts Davis up and throws him ribs first into
the unprotected turnbuckle. Davis falls back, rolling back, holding his ribs in
pain as Glacier falls over and leans on the middle turnbuckle. He looks over
and smiles as Amber moves along the ropes and tries to cheer for Davis,
encouraging him to get up. Glacier then turns and looks at Davis before pulling
himself up and walking over. Davis starts to get up and Glacier knees him in
the ribs again. Davis falls over and lands right in front of Amber. Glacier
then drops to his knees and crawls over to Davis before turning him such that
he’s looking at Amber. He then smiles before nailing him with a straight right
to the ribs. Davis winces. Glacier then nails him again and then again. Amber
looks up at Glacier starting to cry as Davis winces with each shot.
Sharper: “Again! Glacier is starting to punish Davis right in front
of Amber!”
Knots: “He said he was going to do this!”
Dawson: “And with those ribs wide open, Davis’ insides have to
getting bruised and hurt!”
Sharper: “He’s got to be aiming for internal bleeding!”
Glacier then nails him again. He then looks up as Amber then turns
away and Glacier then lets go of Davis then moving over and reaching through
and grabbing Amber by the face and holding her by the jaw. Amber turns and
looks up, visibly crying. Davis looks up and sees this before suddenly lunging
and knocking Glacier over. He immediately moves to a dominant mount position
and starts to hammer away at Glacier, raining down with rights and lefts.
Glacier covers up, but Davis continues to hammer away before wincing and rolling
off of Glacier. He gets up, holding his ribs as Glacier starts to stir and
Davis then turns and stomps on Glacier’s face. Glacier rolls over and starts to
stir. Davis then grabs him and lifts him up before dragging him back and then
looking away wincing before just nailing Glacier with a vicious kick right
between the legs. The crowd cheers as Glacier falls back, holding himself.
Davis then drops down to his knees before slowly crawling over to the ropes. He
rolls out of the ring to the floor before reaching underneath. He looks around
before smiling and grabbing a sledgehammer. He hoists it up as the crowd roars.
Sharper: “Oh boy! Davis has that sledgehammer!”
Knots: “We saw him use that on Glacier six weeks ago! And something
tells me he’s going to enjoy using it again tonight!”
He then places it on the apron and slides into the ring. Glacier
starts to stir as he then looks up and Davis turns and swings before missing
Glacier. Glacier turns and then Davis turns around and Glacier lifts him up and
down with a spinebuster. The crowd boos and Glacier then turns and smiles as he
then grabs the sledgehammer. He looks at it and smiles as Davis stirs. Glacier
sees him moving before lifting it up and turning, going to drive it down into
the ribs of Davis, but Davis rolls out of the way. The crowd ohs. Glacier lifts
it up again and swings again, but Davis ducks. He then grabs Glacier and throws
him back with the Fallout. The crowd cheers and Glacier drops the sledgehammer.
Davis rolls over, holding his ribs in pain. He then starts to get up.
Sharper: “Fallout by Davis! He just saved his chances!”
Knots: “Yeah and Glacier almost drove the sledgehammer into his own
face with how he was driven into the mat.”
Dawson: “Davis now going for that sledgehammer. He uses this and
this may secure that win!”
Davis crawls over Glacier and grabs the sledgehammer. He then
starts to pull himself up and stumbles over to the corner. Glacier rolls over,
holding his head in pain and starts to stir. He slowly crawls over to the ropes.
He then starts to get himself up and turns to Davis and Davis turns and takes
the sledgehammer and drives it into the ribs of Glacier. Glacier bends over,
clearly in pain and Davis then turns and nails him with a swinging shot to the
head with the sledgehammer. The crowd ohs and Glacier falls back and holds his
head in pain as the crowd then starts to cheer!
Sharper: “Two shots with that sledgehammer!”
Knots: “Is he bleeding? Is Glacier bleeding?”
Davis drops down with the sledgehammer and falls to his knees. He
looks at Glacier. Glacier, however, manages to start to stir. Davis then grabs
the sledgehammer again and lifts it up. Glacier starts to stir and Davis then
turns and attempts to drive it down right into Glacier’s head. Glacier rolls
out of the way. Davis lifts the hammer back up and Glacier then turns and low
blows Davis. Davis falls back a bit and the crowd ohs. Davis drops the hammer
and Glacier, holding his head and clearly showing signs of a concussion
suddenly grabs Davis and lifts him up for a back suplex before then pushing him
forward and driving him hard with a ramming blow into the exposed turnbuckle.
Davis immediately bends over and Glacier then lifts him up and hits a
spinebuster before rolling over, holding his head in pain. Davis however starts
to cough as blood starts to come up from the mouth of Davis. Davis keeps
coughing and rolls over as blood drips out and onto the canvas. The referee
turns and calls for the bell.
Sharper: “Oh no! Glacier did it! He’s caused internal bleeding!”
Knots: “Yeah, and Davis has to be in a lot of pain. Broken ribs
maybe.”
Davis continues to roll over and Glacier just smiles.
Phillips: “And here is your winner....Glacier!”
The crowd starts to boo from all over and Davis rolls over coughing
some more, and spitting up some more blood. Glacier then sees him as he
valiantly tries to get up and he turns and grabs the sledgehammer. He then
drags it up before looking at Davis. Glacier winces as he holds his head a bit
and Davis manages to get up and Glacier attempts a swinging blow to nail Davis in
the ribs, but Davis moves and lunges and nails Glacier in the head with a boot.
Glacier falls over as the crowd cheers. Davis then turns, still coughing up
blood before grabbing the sledgehammer. Glacier rolls over, holding his head in
pain and starts to get up and Davis grabs the hammer and then swings and falls
over in the process, but nails Glacier in the head. Glacier falls back and
rolls over. Davis then turns and takes the end of the sledgehammer, crawling
over to Glacier and taking the point at the end and starting to drive it down
into the forehead of Glacier.
Dawson: “Davis is grinding that sledgehammer into the skull of Glacier!”
Sharper: “More shots to the head! He’s getting revenge!”
Knots: “Ref! Get in there! Both of these men are injured!”
Amber just looks on, actually cheering for Justin as Justin keeps
grinding the sledgehammer head into the skull of Glacier. The referee then
finally manages to pull him off and Davis falls back to a seated position as
blood can be seen coming from the forehead of Glacier. The crowd cheers and
Davis winces and rolls over and slowly starts to get out of the ring. He keeps
holding his ribs and coughing occasionally as he walks around the ring,
limping. He then walks over to Amber and immediately hugs her. Amber hugs back
with her one arm and Davis then pulls on the handcuffs. He winces and finally,
a couple more officials run down from the back and a security guard as well.
The guard jogs over as Davis turns and leans against the ring as the referee in
the ring checks on Glacier.
Dawson: “Finally...we get a security guard out here and please tell
me he has keys to those cuffs.”
The camera focuses on the guard and they actually notice the lack
of handcuffs on him. He pulls out a small key and undoes the one part of the
cuffs letting Amber free before undoing the other side.
Sharper: “Is it just me or is that guard lacking cuffs?”
Knots: “Maybe Glacier borrowed them!”
Sharper: “Oh God...Glacier is stooping to new lows all the time if
that’s true.”
Dawson: “In any case, Amber is free and back with Justin Davis and
Davis got some measure of revenge despite not winning!”
The crowd cheers as Amber immediately hugs Davis. The two embrace
before Davis turns and starts to lead her to the back. The other officials
enter the ring and go to check on Glacier as Davis winces as he continues on
his way to the back. The guard grabs the cuffs and undoes them from the ring
and then just shakes his head as he looks in the ring. The camera focuses back
on Davis as he continues to wince as makes his way out.
Dawson: “Well as Davis gets a chance to finally perhaps put back
some normalcy to his life, we’re about to see one individual that is going to
change his life totally. Josh Hudson in a few moments will face Jake Starr in
his final SCW match.”
Sharper: “Josh Hudson has been part of SCW for nearly its entire
run and it comes to an end tonight as two of the best in SCW history go at it.”
RECAP:
We see a shot of Jake Starr
posing as the camera spins around him as he smirks. We then see a shot of Jake
Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on Christian Savior, before turning to a
shot of him hitting the move against James Exeter, then Hurse, then Davis, then
Greg Cherry and Jason Zero. The scene then switches to a shot of Josh Hudson in
a dark corner, smiling. This then switches to a shot of him hitting the Go 2
Sleep on Jason Zero, CHBK, making various individuals tap out including Sammy
Thomas Davies, Marcus V. Lopez and others, along with hitting Justin Davis and
Thorn with the Go 2 Sleep.
The scene then opens up to show Dillusion
starting to make his way to the ring on June 7th, before we see Josh
Hudson run down and clothesline him from behind. He then brutalizes him before
drilling him with the steel steps as Dillusion lies against the steps. Jake
Starr then is seen coming out as Josh Hudson now stands in the ring.
Hudson: “Because I’ve noticed
that because of certain actions by you, you caused me to no longer stand here
to be World Champion. Now, I can live with that. But noting some of the issues
around the SCW and around me, I’ve made a bit of a decision. Rise to Greatness
will be my final night in SCW. I’ve refused to resign my contract!”
The crowd cheers at the
statement and Jake mockingly golf claps him.
Sharper: “Oh my God!”
Knots: “What? No! Damn it! We’re
going to lose Josh Hudson!”
Hudson: “But remember what I was
saying before Taking Hold of the Flame...before foolish pride and title shots
were your pathetic rebuttal....I wanted you one on one! I wanted to kill the
spirit of all of these fans that view you as the benchmark, when they should be
viewing me as it!”
Hudson: “So I’m going to make
this easy this time......You....Dumbass official number two. Is he in good
enough shape to perform?”
The official passes a few words
to Jason Phillips and Phillips just nods before starting to announce to the
crowd as Jake continues to glare at Josh Hudson
Phillips: “Ladies and Gentlemen,
as a result of Dillusion being incapable of competing, your winner via
forfeit....Jake Starr!”
Hudson: “What happened
here....it’s going to continue all the way up to Rise to Greatness. You want
momentum. Heh....Good luck. You want legitimacy....You’re not getting it.
Unless...unless you agree right here and now that it’s going to be you and I,
one on one, at Rise to Greatness. Allow me to go out by killing that which all
of them love and adore. What’ll it be?”
Jake Starr yelling at Hudson is
shown: “You got it! Get ready to get your ass kicked!” Hudson just smirks as
the crowd cheers.
Hudson: “See you at Rise to
Greatness....”
Sharper: “I don’t believe it.
Josh Hudson threatened to prevent Jake from establishing a legacy and he’s got
what he wants. At Rise to Greatness, Josh Hudson and Jake Starr will go at it!”
Knots: “Yeah...and it’s
apparently going to be Josh Hudson’s last match in SCW too. He’s said he’s
leaving. He’s not doing it.”
Dawson: “And he’s going to leave
by proving he’s better than Jake Starr...”
The scene slowly fades into a
shot of Jake Starr walking out to the ring, wearing a flowing sequin
robe and a bandanna on his head along with sunglasses from July 7. We then see
him slowly throwing various parts of it off as Jake can be heard in the
background.
Starr: “This is what Hudson has
spent his final days in wrestling doing! He has talked about how he’s so pure!
How he’s looking for competition and how he hates gimmicks. Apparently, my
giving all of you what you want and having some fun doing it is a gimmick these
days! Well if Josh got his head out of his ass, maybe he’d realize that his emo
ass is just turned into the disgruntled jackass gimmick.”
The camera then focuses on Starr
as he looks right at the camera.
Starr: “And I’m not going
anywhere!”
Hudson: “Just keep laughing.
Because maybe then you’ll be able to make all of these puppets survive through
your glorious failure at Rise to Greatness. Because I’ve said it once and I’ll
say it again, when I get there, I will take Jake Starr....and I will take
everything he represents....the hero to the fans, the asshole who just does
what he feels like, the degenerate that you are....and make you go to
sleep....and with you there...all of these fans will watch the end of Jake
Starr. And at the same time, they’ll watch me walk back from that ring with a
huge smile on my face because then I can leave this hellhole in peace....Now
whose laughing...”
We then see a shot from the last
Breakdown showing Josh Hudson hitting Jake Starr with the Go 2 Sleep, from
several angles. We then cut back to a shot of Josh Hudson smiling before Jake
Starr’s voice again comes over, including a shot of him laughing.
Starr and fans: “NA NA NA NA! NA
NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE!”
The recap then slowly fades to
black...
The crowd starts to roar as the lights go out and “Sandstorm”
starts to play throughout the arena before green spotlights focus on the stage
and pyro shoots from in front of the stage and then from the stage, shooting
high into the air. The crowd starts to cheer as from the back, Jake Starr walks
out and stops in the middle of the green spotlights and jumps up and down a
bit, shaking himself out. He then looks out at the crowd and smiles as the
crowd cheers.
Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled
for one-fall. On his way to the ring, hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, he is the
Czar of the Shooting Five Star, the Social Misfit, Jake Starr!”
The crowd continues to cheer and Jake Starr then starts to walk
forward. He takes a few steps before clapping a few fans hands and then running
to the other side of the entrance way and doing the same. He then continues on
his way down the entrance way before looking around and smiling, spinning
around a bit and then jogging over to the steel steps and hopping onto them. He
then walks over to the ropes and slingshots himself into the ring before
walking around. He then goes over to the far corner and jumping up to the
middle rope and looking around before pounding his chest. He then continues to
look out at the crowd.
Sharper: “Jake Starr about to enter what may be his biggest match
ever. Yes, he’s a former world champion, but the pride that’s on the line here
is unbelievable.”
Knots: “Josh Hudson is going to walk out here and in his last
match, beat Jake Starr to the ground. You got that? He’s going to knock some
sense into Jake Starr.”
Dawson: “Jake Starr is a fan favourite as can be heard from those
cheers. That’s something Josh Hudson holds disdain towards Jake Starr for.”
Jake Starr drops down and walks around the ring as his music fades
out. He then walks back to his corner and pulls on the top rope, stretching out
as the crowd starts to stir a bit.
“Love Me or Hate Me....It Doesn’t Make a Difference!”
The crowd gives a mixed reaction as that phrase is uttered over the
speakers before “Right In Two” starts to play throughout the arena. The mixed
reaction continues as Josh Hudson starts to walk out from the back. He looks
around before smirking at the crowd. He then looks down to the ring and Jake
Starr just continues to look out. Josh Hudson just looks out before walking
down the rampway. He smirks on his way down as he continues on his way to the
ring.
Phillips: “And on his way to the ring, hailing from Hollywood,
California, Josh Hudson!”
The crowd roars, with the cheers starting to overtake some of the
boos. Josh Hudson continues on his way before running towards the ring and
sliding in. He then looks up at Jake Starr and slowly starts to get up. He then
turns and backs up before then slowly sliding down to a seated position in the
nearby corner. He then just keeps his eyes of Jake Starr the entire time. The
referee moves in and looks at Jake before Josh before standing in the middle of
the ring.
Dawson: “And Josh Hudson coming out with very little glitz, very
little glamour. Jake Starr, the pyro, the flashiness. Two different styles.”
Sharper: “This will be the last time Josh Hudson gets into an SCW
ring. Regardless, win or lose.”
Knots: “And some of our fans are even cheering him, giving him some
respect for his SCW career. More than can be said for Jake Starr!”
The referee calls for the bell and the crowd roars as Jake Starr
bounces off the ropes and jogs to the middle of the ring before jumping back.
Josh Hudson just looks at Starr before slowly lifting himself up to his feet.
He then starts to move in as they then meet up in the middle of the ring. The
crowd starts to cheer as a duelling “Let’s go Starr! Let’s go Hudson!” chant
begins to come from all over. Starr looks around as does Hudson. Hudson then
starts to smirk as Starr turns back to him. Hudson then suddenly drops down and
takes Starr down with a double leg takedown. Starr quickly pushes off with his
legs and Hudson falls back, still holding onto his legs. Starr manages to move
away and Hudson lunges and grabs him again and tries to pull back on the leg.
Starr then moves back again and manages to get to the bottom rope, but Hudson
just turns and locks in a kneebar. The referee calls for the break as Starr
pulls himself halfway out of the ring.

with a hard right. Hudson turns Starr then grabs him and pulls him right out of
the ring and to the floor.
Sharper: “Whoa! Hudson went right for the legs of Starr! And Starr
just threw him down from the ring. Hudson landed right on his back.”
Knots: “Well Starr knows right off the bat that Hudson’s going to
do what he needs to do. Starr was halfway out of the ring and Hudson still had
that attempted knee bar on!”
Hudson gets back up and Starr kicks him in the ribs. He then nails
him with a European uppercut as the referee drops down and tells both to get
into the ring. Starr nails Hudson with another and Hudson stumbles back. Starr
then turns and walks after him and grabs Hudson and then knees him in the ribs
before turning and nailing him with a Russian leg sweep against the barricade.

boos come from the crowd. Hudson starts to slowly pull himself up and Starr
looks at Hudson and then backs up and down the ringside area a bit before
turning and running at Starr and jumping up for a leg lariat, but Hudson
catches him. He then holds him up before turning and Hudson powerbombs Starr
back first into the ringpost. The crowd ohs and Starr falls to the mats. The
referee walks over and again pleads for them to re-enter the ring.
Dawson: “The referee is giving these two a lot of leniency. He’s
not counting them out.”
Sharper: “Props to the referee for that, but Starr is in a world of
hurt as Hudson caught him and threw him, back first into the ringpost!”
Knots: “That’s a target!”

up and turns and rolls him into the ring. Hudson slides in after him and Starr

back of Hudson.”

then jumps up and hooks his legs around the armpits of Hudson and rolls him
back into a clutch pin.

of it.”
Sharper: “Let’s see that again!”

the ropes and Hudson scoops him up and drops him with a backbreaker.
Dawson: “Hudson starting to dissect Jake Starr.”
Sharper: “One thing that’s amazing about Josh Hudson is his sensing
of his submission skills. When Jake was about to break the hold, Hudson let go
and kept control. He didn’t even give Jake Starr a chance to counter.”
Knots: “And just think, this is the last time we’ll see this on
display.”
Hudson turns and hooks the leg for the pin.

the top rope, a place he is very comfortable.”

Knots: “And Jake Starr was thrown on his head!”
Dawson: “We have to see that again!”

match....”
Sharper: “Oh my! Watch a match. What a contest. These two back and
forth...”
Starr slowly starts to pull himself up. He then stumbles over and
falls onto the ropes. He looks out and smiles before taking a few deep breaths
and looks down at the mat before looking up and throwing his arm in the air. He
then turns around and looks at Josh Hudson. Hudson still remains down. Jake
Starr takes a deep breath and then slowly walks over before dropping to his

more before nodding again and then turning and starting to make his way down
the entrance way towards the back. Josh Hudson stands up and looks up before
then looking down a bit dejected. He turns and looks around before walking over
towards the middle of the ring as the crowd in the area starts to stand to
their feet and start to cheer for Josh Hudson. Hudson just scoffs a bit as he
looks down before raising his arm up and nodding faintly. The crowd cheers some
more. Hudson then turns to the main camera and waves a bit as the crowd continues
to cheer for Hudson. A faint “Hudson!” chant begins.
Sharper: “This is the last time we’ll see that man in a SCW ring.”
Dawson: “What a career he has had. And like or hate him, he’s one
of the best.”
Sharper: “And right now, nearly one hundred and seven thousand are
appreciating what Hudson has done.”
Hudson smirks a bit before then nodding and then walking over
slowly and dropping to his knees. He then rolls under the bottom rope. He gets
up and runs his hands through his hair before looking up. He turns around again
and looks back at the SCW ring before out to the crowd and throws his arm up.
The crowd cheers for him again and Hudson then turns and starts to make his way
down the entrance way himself. He takes a deep breath as he again runs his
hands through his hair. He continues on his way up the rampway before getting
up to the higher sections of the ramp. He turns around and looks back down. He
then waves again before bowing slowly and then getting up before backing up to
the stage. He looks around and waves before taking another deep breath. The
applause continues and Hudson then turns around and exits to the back.
The match graphic for Thorn and Greg Cherry then comes up on the
screen.
Sharper: “Well congratulations to Josh Hudson for a hell of a
career and Jake Starr for a hell of a match. But now we go to the big time. The
SCW World Championship.”
Dawson: “Thorn and Greg Cherry go at it. Who’s going to walk away
the champion?”
RECAP:
“Taking Hold of the Flame...”
Dawson: “The crowd, solidly
behind their hometown hero as Greg Cherry hammers away on Shilo Valiant!”
Zero starts to be helped away as
he just looks down at the ground in complete shock. Greg then nails Shilo
again. Shilo suddenly reaches up and blocks another shot and nails one of his
own. He then hits another. Greg then attempts a clothesline, but Shilo ducks
and then grabs Greg and pulls him up on the top rope. The crowd rises again and
Greg manages to roll over and land on the apron, one leg dangling and hitting
the ground. He then starts to get up and Shilo kicks him in the ribs. He then
nails him again. Greg winces and falls to a knee. Shilo then smirks before
backing up. Greg gets back up and Shilo then side kicks him in the ribs before
turning and grabbing him by the head, perhaps for the Boulevard of Broken
Dreams. Greg however suddenly turns and drops Shilo with the Cherry Pit on the
apron and Shilo falls over and down to the ground. The crowd explodes in cheers
as Greg just falls back, laying on the canvas and the bell sounds.
Sharper: “Greg Cherry! Greg
Cherry! In his own hometown, puts on the performance he had to and he’s back on
top of the mountain! He’s going to Rise to Greatness!”
Dawson: “Unbelievable! The man
has had a rough year, but tonight, he turned it on. We saw the old Greg Cherry
and it’s getting him where he wants to be!”
Shilo gets up on the floor, holding
his head and neck as Greg slowly rolls back into the ring. He then pulls
himself up to his feet as a couple of the officials enter the ring and walk
over to him and raise his arms in the air. The crowd cheers some more as Greg
falls down to his knees. He then looks up at the Rise to Greatness banner in
the arena and smiles.
Sharper: “I’ve heard him talk.
He said he wanted to give the Mellon Arena it’s proper going away gift...and
Pittsburgh’s own has just done that.”
Dawson: “He got the thirty spot.
He came in. And he did what he needed to do.”
Sharper: “But who is he going to
have that date with. Who will be World Champion?”
The scene briefly fades to black
before cutting to a shot of Thorn, then Justin Davis, then Jake Starr and then
Josh Hudson. We then see a shot of Jake Starr powerbombing Josh Hudson through
the announce table!
Dawson: “Hudson is out in a pile
in front of us.”
Knots: “Why? What the hell was
that for? He needless put him through a table!”
Sharper: “That’s an exclamation
point. Hudson is out. He’s barely moving. After all that he’s done in the last
month and a half, it’s fitting!”
Starr then turns and hops onto
the apron, but Thorn hits a dropkick through the ropes, knocking Starr back and
he falls back rolling right into Hudson and Jim Dawson. Starr rolls over,
holding his head in pain and Thorn then turns and looks back as he pulls
himself back up and in the ring. Davis is still down and laid out and Thorn
then looks down before looking up and then jumping to the top rope, just a few
feet from the corner and managing to backflip back into a double stomp. The
crowd jumps to their feet in awe and cheers and Thorn winces as he holds his
ankle and then dives on top of Justin Davis. Starr slowly starts to pull
himself up.
1!
2!
3!
The crowd explodes as Thorn then
rolls over onto his back. Starr just looks up in the ring and first has a look
of shock before a huge smile as Thorn rolls over and winces before pulling
himself up to his feet via the ropes.
Sharper: “Thorn! The Star of
Tomorrow...and he’s now the Star of Today! Thorn has just won the World
Championship!”
Dawson: “And he’s got a date
with Greg Cherry at Rise to Greatness!”
The scene fades into a shot of
Greg Cherry walking down to the ring the following Breakdown.
Greg: “That’s just fantastic.
Thanks for that...To say I’m on top of the world may be the biggest
understatement I could ever fathom of saying.”
Greg pauses as the crowd cheers
a bit.
Greg: “Because...and I love
saying this...I am your 2010 Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal winner and
I’m going to Rise to Greatness to win the World Championship!”
Greg smiling is shown before his
voice is heard again.
Greg: “Because for months, I
have been trying to get back to the level that I know I can go at. When I last
was within grasp of the World Championship, I was under the power of someone
who clearly had only their own interests at heart. I clearly let my greed
overtake me and I made some bad decisions and since then, I’ve been trying,
scrapping, and fighting to get back to where I know damn well where I should be
and that is in the main event at Rise to Greatness.”
SUBJECT: THORN…
EVALUATION: DEADLY…
Thorn is shown slowly coming out
as his words play over the visual of him getting into the ring.
Thorn: “Greg....I respect that
you managed to get through the thirty men to get this World Championship shot. But
Greg....sorry if I don’t believe half of what you say. I’ll be damned if you
bring things full circle and end this reign.”
A sight of Thorn shaking his
head before walking off is played before again cutting to black. The opening
strums of “Cult of Personality” then can be heard.
Sharper: “What? That’s...that’s
Mr. Drachewych’s music!”
Knots: “Yes! OH YES! He’s back!”
Dawson: “No. Don’t tell me he’s
back!”
Greg then walks out from the
back as Thorn stands in the ring.
Greg: “So is that what you’re
expecting? That music’s gonna play, I’m going to come back out here with
another deal with Satan. I’m going to screw you over as soon as possible?”
Greg just shakes his head.
Greg: “I don’t care if you trust
me. I know you respect what I’ve done. But Thorn, while I will gladly admit I
would do anything to be champion again, I have realized that what I did in the
second half of last year and the first few months of this year....it’s not
going to get me what I want. Drachewych didn’t give me anything. I realized how
wrong I was. And I regret that. But Thorn...you don’t need to look over your
shoulder.”
Greg is then shown shaking his
head in slow motion before disappearing to the back. We then see a slow motion
shot of Christian Savior nailing Thorn with the spear. The sound becomes
muffled as Thorn rolls over in pain.
Knots: “So is there something
there? Come on? It could. Old Infection and new Infection!”
Thorn is then shown backstage
before being confronted by Greg, as the dialogue plays in the background.
Thorn: “Greg....I’m just calling
things as I see it. For most of the time I’ve been here, I’ve seen you take
every shortcut you can think of. And last Breakdown, Savior jumped me. The only
link you two have is that you both were in Infection.”
Greg: “He and I faced off two
months ago!”
Thorn: “Convenient coincidence.”
Greg: “You want proof. Fine!
Tonight, I’ll give you your proof.”
We cut to later that same show
to see Greg going out to the ring to confront Christian Savior. Thorn running
down to stop him is shown as Greg’s confusion is then highlighted.
Greg coming out to the ring is
shown again, still looking confused.
Greg: “Pardon me if that
confuses me....I got it because I won the Taking Hold of the Flame battle
royal. I got it because I went into this ring and managed to luck out to get
through that match and EARN this match! And since then, since then, I haven’t
attacked you. I haven’t even touched you. I even came to check on you after Savior
decided to show how cowardly he was and attacked you from behind.”
We then see Katie Steward
dropping Greg Cherry with the Platinum Blonde before cutting to a shot later in
the evening, showing Jake Starr and Thorn starting to make their way to the
ring, to face Christian Savior and Katie Steward.
Sharper: “This was not the
scheduled main event for the evening, but in an interesting twist, after Katie
Steward attacked Greg Cherry when it looked like Christian Savior was going to
attack him, Sasha Drachewych told Greg to take the night off and Thorn and Jake
Starr decided to step forward to face Katie and Christian Savior.”
Knots: “Why are they taking this
risk? They don’t like Katie Steward and Christian Savior. We get it. Thorn
probably wants to get some revenge for that spear, but still, four days before
Rise to Greatness, you’re going to take this risk?”
Josh Hudson is then shown
nailing Jake Starr with the Go 2 Sleep with Thorn being shown via split screen
to be outside of the ring. Greg Cherry enters the ring and can be seen hitting
him before taking him to the floor with the clothesline.
Thorn, however, makes his return
and he just back down from the back and just sees Jake Starr down before
running to the ring and sliding into the ring. Greg continues to just watch
Josh Hudson and Thorn comes up behind him and spins him around before jumping
up and driving him down with the Griever’s Bane! The crowd roars with a clearly
mixed reaction coming from the capacity New Orlean’s crowd!
Dawson: “Greiver’s Bane! Thorn
has just taken out Greg! Is that because he thought Greg had taken out Jake
Starr?”
Knots: “I don’t know, but the
SCW World Champion is standing over his challenger for this Sunday!”
The scene then flashes to the
closing moments of the preview show. Greg looks up and
then turns and Thorn jumps up and attempts the Griever’s Bane only for Greg to
turn in mid-air and instead counter into the Cherry Pit. The crowd ohs as Thorn
rolls over in pain and out of it. The camera focuses on Greg as he looks down
at Thorn for a few moments.
Kayl: “Greg is just standing
over Thorn! Could that be the sight tomorrow night at Rise to Greatness!”
As Thorn can be seen standing
over Greg Cherry, side by side with the shot of Greg Cherry standing over
Thorn, two final quotes come from both men...
Greg: “I am your 2010 Taking
Hold of the Flame battle royal winner and I’m going to Rise to Greatness to win
the World Championship!”
Thorn: “I’ll be damned if you
bring things full circle and end this reign!”
The sound of the bell ringing is heard before we return to ring to
see renowned ring announcer Michael Buffer standing in the middle of the ring.
Buffer: “Lllllladies and gentlemen.....in just a few moments, we
will see two individuals, one whom defeated twenty-nine others to earn their
spot in this matchup, the other whom was victorious in a gruelling fatal
fourway match, compete in front of the largest indoor attendance for a
professional wrestling event...in the MAIN EVENT of...the EVENING. And this
match is for the HEAVYWEIGHT! CHAMPIONSHIP! Of the world....”
The crowd roars as Buffer looks out to the crowd.
Buffer: “So....allow me to ask you...Are you ready?!”
The crowd roars as Buffer pauses yet again.
Buffer: “I said....Are....you...rrrrrrrready?!”
The crowd cheers further.
Buffer: “Then...for the over one hundred thousand in attendance and
the millions watching around the world....ladies and
gentlemen.....llllllllllet’s get ready to rrrrrrumble!”
The crowd cheers as again, people can be seen standing and awaiting
the start of the match. A few moments pass before the opening guitar riffs of
“I Will Not Bow” by Breaking Benjamin start to play throughout the arena. The
song continues as cheers start to come from the crowd. A few moments pass
before we see white sparks shoot up from the base of the stage. The sparks
continues to shoot up as Greg Cherry walks up behind them and stands behind
them, jumping up and down. The sparks in the middle go down and Greg Cherry
walks through them before throwing his arms up in the air. The crowd roars and
Greg Cherry looks out at the crowd. He then smiles before starting to run
towards the ring. Greg Cherry runs down the rampway and goes to the ring before
sliding into the ring. He then jumps up and walks over to the ropes facing the
main camera and steps up onto them before throwing his arms in the air, giving
the fans his Penn Sen gesture, with many fans throwing their arms up in the air
in the same fashion. As he does so, the camera pans back as sparks shoot from
around the bottom of the giant HD screen hanging in the stadium clockwise
before stopping and swinging back around counterclockwise. Greg then jumps down
before running over to the other side of the ring and jumping up onto the ropes
and doing the same.
Sharper: “It’s been three years since Greg Cherry was last SCW
World Champion. The last night he held the World Title was June 20, 2007, when
he lost it to Xander Valentine. After three years, could Rise to Greatness 2010
be his night?”
Knots: “It wasn’t his night earlier this year at Body, Heart and
Soul, Retribution and Two for One Special. And after what we saw earlier
tonight, tonight may not be either. We know Mr. D is in attendance!”
Dawson: “Good point. Greg Cherry was the one who took him out. But
I’m sure that Sasha has spared no expense for security and she’s going to want
to make sure this match is one on one and that both Thorn and Greg Cherry have
their opportunity to make this night their night!”
Sharper: “What a night already this has been. Josh Hudson with his
last match, congratulations on a great career for him. Sasha’s father has returned,
David Helms won a title shot. Dark Fantasy are new Tag Team Champions. Xander
knocked Chad Evans unconscious.”
Dawson: “And now the World Championship.”
Greg Cherry drops down and walks around the ring before taking a
few deep breaths. He walks around before running into the ropes. He stops at
them, pushing back and stretching out before hopping up and down as his music
fades out.
The crowd starts to cheer some more before the spotlights in the
arena go out momentarily before a single spotlight starts to circle the stadium
as air raid sirens start to fill the arena as the sounds of a keyboard being
typed on echo throughout.
INITIATING THE “NEXT LEVEL” PROGRAM….
The sirens continue along with sounds of gunfire before the tapping on the
keyboard starts again
PATCHING WITH THE
"BROTHERHOOD" EXPANSION...
The background sounds continue, then more words.
SUBJECT: THORN…
The background noise echoes loudly around the arena, becoming almost deafening
as tapping on the keyboard can be heard one last time.
EVALUATION: DEADLY…
The gunfire and sirens halt and all is silent before green pyro shoots from the
ends of the stage and then move back to the middle of the stage before shooting
back out to the end, shooting high into the air.
“I’d Rather Die Than Live Down On My Knees”
Green pyro then shoots out along the extension of the stage as the
lights of the stadium return as Thorn jogs out from the back and stands in the
middle of the ring with the SCW World Championship over his shoulder. “Higinia”
by Blessthefall blares throughout Cowboys Stadium. The crowd cheers as he looks
out. He then walks along the stage to the far right before looking out at the
crowd and throwing his arms up in the air, hoisting the SCW World Championship
high in the air. Thorn then smiles and nods before turning and walking along
the stage and over to the opposite side of the stage and throws his arms up
again, again holding the World Championship over his head again. The crowd
cheers again before Thorn smiles and turns before walking over to the middle of
the stage and throwing his title back over his shoulder.
Sharper: “The World Champion is about to make his first title
defence and it doesn’t get any bigger than this.”
Dawson: “Rise to Greatness you’re making your first title defence.
That’s pressure right there. That’s high-risk.”
Sharper: “And Thorn knows high-risk. That’s for sure. That’s his
offense. That’s his game. And tonight, he’s going to look to also exorcise the
demon of Greg Cherry from his past.”
Thorn then glances back as Charlotte Valentine walks out from the
back and joins him and Thorn then starts to make his way down the entrance way.
He gets to the floor and extends his hands, high-fiving as many fans as he can
as he continues on his way to the ring. The crowd continues to cheer for him as
we get a brief shot at the ring to see Greg Cherry standing in his corner,
watching Thorn. Thorn walks over to the ringside area and walks up the steel
steps as Charlotte walks over to the steps and just remains on the floor. Thorn
then walks along the apron before entering the ring and then turning and
walking over to the corner and climbing up to the middle rope. He looks around
and starts riling up the crowd before nodding and smiling. He takes a deep
breath before his smile gets wider. He then drops down before turning and
looking across the ring at Greg Cherry as Michael Buffer returns to the ring.
The referee stands behind him as Buffer walks over to the middle of the ring.
Buffer: “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the
competitors. First, in the corner to my left...weighing in at two-hundred and
five pounds...hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he is a former two time
United States Champion, a former Adrenaline Champion, a former three time World
Champion and this year’s winner of the Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal.....The
Pennsylvania Sensation.....GREG....CHERRRRRRRRY!”
The crowd roars as Greg turns and climbs up to the middle
turnbuckle behind him and throws his arms up in the air, doing the Penn Sen
gesture once more before looking out at the crowd. He then turns and drops down
to the ring as the cheers start to dissipate.
Buffer: “And his opponent, weighing in at one hundred and seventy
pounds, hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina....he is a member of the
Brotherhood and the Next Level, and he is the reigning and defending
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION of the WORLD....ladies and gentlemen...THORN!”
The crowd cheers, slightly louder than for Greg, as Thorn lifts the
SCW World Championship over his head. He smiles before turning and handing the
title off to the referee. The crowd
starts to cheer further as Michael Buffer leaves the ring.
Sharper: “Arguably this all started at Retribution. Thorn had his
title chance against Jake Starr, but Greg Cherry was entered into the match
while it was going on, courtesy of Mr. Drachewych. Now, Thorn has a chance to
cost Greg Cherry a title.”
Knots: “Along with defending his own title aspirations. This is for
it all. Nothing bigger than the World Championship!”
The referee turns and walks over to Jason Phillips and hands him
the World Championship before turning around and walking back to the middle of
the ring. He then looks to Thorn who nods before looking to Greg, who nods back
and then he calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd roars! Greg
Cherry backs up and bounces off the ropes, as does Thorn and the two then turn
and lunge and meet up in the middle of the ring in a grapple. Thorn and Greg
both push back, but Greg manages to turn before pushing Thorn back and into the
corner. The referee moves over and calls for the break and Greg backs away,
lifting his hands up. Thorn just looks up and Greg backs up and Thorn takes a
few steps out of the corner and Greg and Thorn then smile at each other before
lunging and grappling again. Greg again uses his weight advantage and pushes
Thorn back into the ropes before Thorn turns and pushes back and Greg is pushed
into the ropes. Greg however quickly hooks his leg and then falls back and
pulls himself and Thorn through the ropes and down to the floor. Greg lets go,
but Thorn does as well and both get to their feet. Both slide into the ring
quickly and Thorn gets up just a split second faster and takes Greg down with a
headlock takedown before pulling up.
Sharper: “And Thorn wins this exchange by the looks of it.”
Dawson: “Got back in and just barely beat Greg Cherry to the
punch.”
Thorn holds onto Greg and Greg turns a bit before getting his knees
underneath him. He looks forward before Thorn manages to drag him up to his
feet and Greg then grabs Thorn before hoisting him up and throwing him forward
with an atomic whip. Thorn lands on his back and Greg runs forward and goes to
grab Thorn, but Thorn gets his feet up and pushes off. Greg falls back and
Thorn rolls over and gets up and Greg turns and hits a single leg trip before
rolling through and going for a jackknife pin. The crowd roars as the referee
goes down for the count.

2!
Thorn bridges up a bit, but Greg stamps his foot and manages to
push back enough to keep Thorn down.
1!
2!
Thorn bridges up again, but this time is successful before spinning
around and around before Thorn hooks his arms around Greg’s. He then slowly
starts to pull back and Greg gets off his feet and Thorn slides him down with a
backslide.
1!
2!
Greg kicks out and rolls back. He then gets up and Thorn suddenly
nails him with a basement dropkick and Greg falls back and rolls to the ropes,
holding his jaw.
Knots: “Here we go! Dropkick to the face!”
Dawson: “And Thorn hitting the first real strike in this match and
caught Greg when he didn’t expect it!”
Sharper: “And both of these two are capable of moves like that.
That’s something both have to look out for.”
Knots: “Well we’ve seen it with both the Griever’s Bane and the
Cherry Pit too!”
Greg slowly gets up and turns, holding his jaw. Thorn looks at him
and Greg glances back. Greg holds his lip a bit, showing it to be busted. Thorn
then turns and runs at Greg and catches him with a kick to the ribs. He then
kicks him again in the ribs before nailing him with a hard right. He grabs Greg
before turning and whipping him into the ropes. Greg bounces off the ropes and
Thorn hoists him up and attempts a back drop, but Greg spins through and lands
behind him. He then pushes him forward and Greg grabs him as Thorn hits the
ropes only to roll through into a roll-up.

Thorn kicks out and Greg falls to the ropes. Thorn rolls over and
gets up and Greg turns and runs at him and attempts a clothesline. Greg stops
and turns around and Thorn jumps up and attempts the Griever’s Bane, but Greg
pushes him off and Thorn hits the mat as the crowd ohs. Thorn rolls over and
gets to the ropes, looking up at Greg.
Sharper: “And right there! Griever’s Bane...almost hit it!”
Dawson: “Both these two have to be looking out for their opponent’s
finishers. They’ve proven to the other how out of the blue it can be! That’s a
dangerous thing to have in one’s arsenal!”
Thorn pulls himself up and Greg turns and nails him with a hard
right. Thorn winces and Greg then nails him with a chop. The crowd woos and
Greg then grabs Thorn and whips him across the ring. Thorn bounces off the
other side and Greg jumps up and nails him with a dropkick. Thorn hits the mat
and Greg turns and goes for the pin.

Thorn with a hard right and then another and another. Thorn manages to lift
Greg up, and Thorn drops him, but misses the inverted atomic drop. Thorn pops
up and Greg backs up and Thorn then attempts a clothesline, but Greg ducks and
then grabs Thorn by the head and tries for the Cherry Pit, but Thorn turns and
pushes Greg off. The crowd ohs again and Greg stops at the ropes. He smirks at
Thorn as Thorn just glares at him.
Knots: “Cherry Pit almost happened right there!”
Dawson: “Both men looking to hit that early and unpredictably. They
want the World Title!”
Thorn gets up and Greg then lunges and Thorn kicks Greg in the
ribs. He then nails him with a hard right before wrenching Greg’s arm. He then
turns and jerks on the arm before turning and going for the corner, but Greg
tries to pull away. He then pulls Thorn and down to the mat before Thorn flips
forward and Greg holds on, but Thorn nips up. He then turns and grabs Greg by
the arm and drives him down with an armbreaker DDT. Greg rolls over in pain. He
then starts to get up and Thorn turns and grabs him by the arm and jerks on it
again before dragging him back to the corner before hooking his hand and then
running up the corner before diving off and spinning through and taking Greg
down with an arm drag. Greg rolls over and gets back up and Thorn quickly turns
and jumps up and attempts a hurricanrana, but Greg counters with a sitout
powerbomb! The crowd ohs and Greg stays up for the pin.
1!
2!
Thorn just gets his shoulder up and rolls over as Greg rolls back.
The crowd ohs and many cheer as a “Let go Thorn!” chant starts, while a “Let’s
Go Cherry!” chant slowly starts afterwards.
Sharper: “Oh! Powerbomb down in the middle of the ring and that
almost made Greg Cherry the new World Champion.”
Dawson: “And whoever wins has Jason Zero waiting for them at the
debut episode of Friday Night Ammo on August 13th.”
Greg pulls himself up as the split screen returns.

turnbuckle to the top rope.”
Knots: “Long way down. But Thorn is right now there to cushion his
fall!”
Dawson: “Wait! Until now!”
Greg gets to the top and Thorn rolls over and runs over and takes
Greg’s legs out from under him. Greg lands hard on the top turnbuckle before
Thorn then climbs up to the middle rope. He then grabs Greg before hooking his
head and then stands up to the top rope. He pulls Greg up as well before then

Knots: “Thorn may not even need to worry about going for the
Griever’s Bane with that!”
|
REPLAY: The
replay goes to start to show the move, but then freezes up as the pinfall is
shown. It then starts to play as Thorn slowly lifts Greg up and then pulls him
back and spikes him into the mat with the Prickly Heat off the second rope.

up from Thorn’s view before falling

and Greg now going for the corner...going for the turnbuckle. He may be going
high risk again.”
Dawson: “Didn’t work out too well last time though.”
Thorn starts to stir as Greg pulls himself up to his feet. He then
starts to climb up to the top rope. Greg gets to the top rope as Thorn stumbles
to his feet and turns to Greg and Greg glances back before diving off and

Greg
looks up in disbelief as a wide shot of the audience is shown. |
Sharper: “Unbelievable! Thorn kicks out of the CDDT. You just saw
how impactful that was.”
Dawson: “And over one hundred thousand here in Cowboys Stadium. A
new record for indoor attendance for professional wrestling. And they’re seeing
a historic night period.”
Greg slowly starts to pull himself up. He then stumbles over to the
ropes as Thorn rolls over and stirs and Greg then walks forward and Thorn

forward and attempts a swanton bomb. Greg, however, rolls out of the way. Thorn
hits hard and winces in pain before rolling over and grimacing. He then pulls
himself up, but Greg then grabs him from behind and snaps him down with the
Cherry Pit! The crowd ohs!
Sharper: “Cherry Pit now out of nowhere!”
Knots: “And now that both men are tired, they’re hitting those
moves!”
Greg Cherry rolls over and hooks the leg for the pin.

Thorn shoots his shoulder up and the crowd explodes. The camera
turns and gets a shot of the crowd, most of which is jumping up and down and
making some amount of noise. Greg looks up at the referee before looking up and
then turning and grabbing Thorn. He grabs him by the head and then pulls the
arm of Thorn around his head. He then starts to pull back and locks in the
Sensational Experience. Thorn yells in pain as Greg pulls back.
Dawson: “Greg Cherry pulling everything out. Even his rarely used
submission hold, the Sensational Experience!”
Sharper: “But this could do it. Thorn is in the middle of the ring
as Greg is pulling back with everything its worth.”
Greg keeps pulling back as Thorn yells in pain some more. The
referee checks on him and Thorn yells no. He starts to feel around only for
Greg to keep pulling. Thorn then suddenly rolls over and gets Greg on his back.

Greg lets go and gets his shoulder up. He rolls over and starts to
get up and Thorn gets up only for Greg to attempt to grab Thorn and Thorn ducks
his arm and grabs him from behind and pulls him down before locking in the Sour
Note. Greg reaches around frantically as the crowd roars.
Knots: “What? Rear naked choke?”
Sharper: “A variation of it and Thorn has it locked in on Greg.
Thorn’s variation of the rear naked choke, the Sour Note! He’s got it locked
in!”
Dawson: “They’re pulling everything out to win this match!”
Greg struggles to breathe, but Thorn realizes he’s on his back. He
tries to turn Greg, but Greg manages to push up with his legs and roll back and
force Thorn down to the mat.

Thorn kicks out and lets go in the process. Greg however lands back
down on top of Thorn and Thorn goes to lock in the hold again, but Greg gets
his hands up and tries to roll over. Thorn rolls with him as the crowd
continues to roar. Thorn then turns and knees Greg in the ribs and Greg falls
over and into the ropes. Thorn lets go and falls back. Greg slowly gets up
wincing. He then turns and stumbles forward and Thorn turns and Greg nails him
with a shot to the rips before grabbing Thorn by the arm and hooking it and
trying to force him down for another attempt at the Sensational Experience, but
Thorn rolls through. Greg rolls over and pulls himself up and Thorn then jumps
up and pulls Greg down with the Sour Note again. He this time rolls to his side
and the crowd roars as Greg reaches out.
Sharper: “Sour Note again! This time in the middle of the ring!”
Dawson: “And he’s on his side! He’s got what he wanted! Is this
going to be it?!”
Greg keeps reaching out, struggling to try and reach for the ropes.
Thorn keeps the hold on and Greg’s facial features start to change as Thorn
pulls back. Greg struggles to get air and keeps reaching. Thorn reinforces the
scissors and keeps holding on. He nods his head, trying to add any leverage as
the referee keeps checking on Greg as the crowd cheers yelling and making
noise. Greg tries to reach again this time with his other hand but then falls
down before tapping the mat repeatedly. The crowd roars and Thorn lets go and
rolls over. The crowd cheers as Thorn’s theme starts to play throughout the
stadium.
Sharper: “Oh! Wow! Thorn manages to make Greg Cherry tap to retain
his title.”
Dawson: “And Greg did not want to.”
Knots: “Sometimes you gotta know when to hold them and know when to
fold them. And Greg was trapped. Thorn got the exact move he needed.”
Buffer: “And here is your winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnerrrrrrrr and STILL SCW
Heavyweight Champion of the World, THORN!”
Thorn remains on the mat for a moment longer before rolling over
and slowly starting to get up. The referee is handed the SCW World Championship
by Jason Phillips. The referee turns and walks over to Thorn and hands him the
World Championship. Thorn looks at the title and looks down before smiling. He
then slowly pull himself up and stumbles over to the ropes. He then walks over
and looks at the corner. He slowly pulls himself up and then looks around
before raising his SCW World Championship over his head. A few moments pass as
Thorn stands on the corner as the camera angle turns and pyro starts to shoot
from the stage up high in the air before blasting from around the big screen
and then pyro shoots out from the corners of the huge HD screen over the ring.
The crowd continues to cheer as Thorn continues to hold the title over his
head. He looks up before smiling and dropping down. He then turns and walks
over to the other corner and climbs up to the middle rope there and holds the title
up.
Sharper: “Thorn is still World Champion. Thank you for joining us
tonight for Rise to Greatness! What a night it was. Thank you and see you on
Breakdown!”
The camera focuses on Thorn celebrating his victory with his title
held high as the crowd cheer cheers and the scene slowly fades to black...
