Taking Hold of the Flame 2013

“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 shows a shot of Shilo Valiant, Jason Zero and Christy Matthews in the main event of last year’s Rise to Greatness. The sound is muffled before then cutting to hearing the voice of Michael Buffer.

Buffer: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for your main event of the evening! And this match is for the SCW Heavyweight Championship of the World.”

The word “world” echoes before we cut to darkness.

“It is the moment all dream about…but there are few ways to guarantee a dream…”

We then see a shot of various individuals running to the ring. We see shots of CHBK, The Real Speed, Jay Gold, Mayhem, Kasheryn, Syren, Ryan Watson, Lucas Knight, Shawn Winters, Chad Evans, James Toreno, Christian Savior, Jason Zero and others.

We then hear the sounds of a buzzer.

Sharper: “Who is on their way next?”

We then see a shot of various individuals getting thrown over the top rope.

Dawson: “Another one out! Another one to join the fray?”

Sharper: “They are fighting for it all!”

We then see a shot of Jason Phillips standing in the ring as the crowd cheering is heard.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal!”

The crowd cheering can be heard. We then see a shot of The Real Speed standing in the ring, before showing Greg Cherry celebrating.

Sharper: “Thirty individuals. The winner punches their ticket to Rise to Greatness!”

Knots: “The biggest main event in SCW history! That’s what it’s going to be about!”

We see shots of CHBK standing tall, looking around and smiling before showing Jason Zero standing in the ring, just absorbing the victory. We then see a shot of Matt Hodges celebrating his Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal victory.

“Nine have succeeded…where nearly two hundred have failed…”

We see shots of individuals like Shaun Cruze in the ring, Josh Hudson, Katie Steward, Adam Allocco, Xander Valentine, Memphis Cade, Devon Kayl and others.

“Nine have gone on to have their moment. Nine have gone down in history.”

We then see a shot of each of the winners, CHBK, then The Real Speed, Adam Riddick, Damian Angel, Matt Hodges, James Exeter, Greg Cherry, Shawn Winters and then Jason Zero.

“Tonight…number ten…a number with extra significance. With extra resonance…an anniversary if you will. One that extra connotations.”

We see a shot of Kelcey Wallace posing, before showing Regan Street holding up the Women’s Championship and then showing Jake Starr smirking in the ring, before cutting to Orlando Cruze, Hurse, and Porno Lad standing in the ring.

“Tonight…a dream will be crowned. A hard road will be defined…Greatness will be offered…”

We see a shot of the World Championship before showing Jason Zero hitting Brian Kinney with a spear before showing James Exeter holding the World Championship and then showing Shawn Winters hitting a Graven Image on Shilo Valiant before showing Damian Angel standing over CHBK.

“The winner will be remembered….the winner will get an opportunity…the winner will be challenger for the SCW World Championship at Rise to Greatness X.”

Sharper: “It’s the biggest main event in SCW history…”

We then see a shot of the Rise to Greatness X logo.

“This is their shot…”

The scene fades to black.

“Up in the Air” by 30 Seconds to Mars starts to play as we see a shot of a flame come up from the top of a pyramid. The camera rushes up it before going into the flame where we see the SCW Taking Hold of the Flame logo.

“And now, Supreme Championship Wrestling presents…Taking Hold of the Flame!”

The logo stays on the screen for a few moments longer before we cut to a shot of the inside of Madison Square Garden in New York, New York. The crowd cheers as pyro shoots out of the entrance way and into the air. The pyro continues to go off for a few moments longer before the spotlights start to circle the arena. The cameras pan through the crowd, showing the cheering fans.

Sharper: “Welcome everyone to the tenth annual Taking Hold of the Flame! Tonight, thirty men and women will compete for a World Championship shot and a spot in the biggest main event in SCW history at Rise to Greatness!”

The cameras focus on the crowds for a few moments before going to ringside where we see Adam Sharper and Jonathan Knots standing at ringside.

Sharper: “Hello again everyone. I’m Adam Sharper alongside Jonathan Knots. Welcome to the world’s most famous arena.”

Knots: “Damn right and in this arena, we heard CHBK earlier tonight. Let’s ignore Brittany Lohan. Tonight, it’s going to be a special night. World Championship, World Tag Team Championship, Women’s Championship…the dominance will be continued tonight.”

Sharper: “All three of those titles will be on the line along with the SCW United States Championship, but we’re going to start off with one of the few people doing some double-duty tonight, the SCW Women’s Champion, Regan Street as she defends against Harmony Fisher!”

Knots: “Psycho Barbie challenges the Hellcat!”

Harmony Fisher vs. Regan Street

SCW Women’s Championship

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

Words scroll across the video screens as shots of Harmony wrestling flicker on and off

BEAUTIFUL/DANGEROUS

"We live in a cold, dark world!
with venom in its veins!
you can spit it in my face,
but I know...I'LL BE OK!"

"Kick In The Teeth" By Papa Roach hits the PA system as Harmony strolls out from the back, she nods to herself as she smirks before raising her arm and makes the devil horns signal with her hand before nodding her head to the beat of her theme song, thrashing it about a little as she skips from the top of the ramp, before her bodyguard of sorts, Ashley Isaacs walks out from the back and smiles a little before cranking his neck from side to side and walking just behind her. Harmony turns and gestures to Isaacs before winking and turning to the crowds once more; psyching herself up as she goes, playing to the crowds who cheer for her enthusiasm as she walks over to one side of the ramp then the other, she slaps a few outstretched palms before getting to the bottom of the ramp and sliding into the ring. Ashley gets to ringside and stands looking first out at the audience before turning and focusing completely on Harmony

"AND WHEN IT FEELS LIKE A KICK IN THE TEETH I CAN TAKE IT, THROW YOUR STONES AND YOU WON'T SEE ME BREAK IT... SAY WHAT YOU WANT, TAKE YOUR SHOTS... SETTING ME FREE WITH ONE MORE KICK IN THE..."

The crowds yell out "TEETH!" before chanting "na na na nanana" along with the rest of the chorus. She looks out at the people in the crowds and climbs the turnbuckle before nodding and giving them the devil horn gesture again, a grateful smile on her face before turning and sitting on the turnbuckle patiently.

Sharper: “Harmony Fisher in many ways pointed out to Regan Street how she hadn’t defended her Women’s Championship-“

Knots: “She goaded her!”

Sharper: “That’s one way to look at it.”

Knots: “It’s the right way.”

Sharper: “That in mind, Harmony challenged Regan and Regan happily accepted, but tonight is a big night for Regan for many reasons. More on that in a moment.”

The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the center of the stage. After a few seconds the screens display a countdown.

PINNACLE WILL STEAL THE SHOW IN

NOW!

The sound of a Hellcat scratching through the screen is seen with a roar. Fireworks blast off the entrance as “Gasoline” by Porcelain Black plays throughout the arena. The beautiful and arrogant Regan Street walks out in her cat suit and ensemble. She stands at the entrance way looking out into the crowd as they shower her with a mix cheers, boos and cat calls no pun intended. She holds up her Women’s Championship as the crowd boos more. Regan looks around and then smirks walking to the ring determined for her next match.She starts walking toward the ring blowing off the fans and rolling her eyes, shaking her head. Street gets to the apron and hops up to the ring before Harmony runs over and nails her with a hard right.

Knots: “Wait a minute!”

Sharper: “Well here we go! I was going to say that Regan is hoping to win the battle royal later tonight, but it’s also her birthday and Harmony Fisher is looking to make sure it starts off tonight on the wrong foot!”

Knots: “Let her in the damn right!”

The SCW Women’s Championship logo comes across the screen and fades to the bottom corner, but the bell doesn’t go as Harmony nails Regan with another hard right and then a third shot, knocking her off the apron. Regan walks around and takes off her entrance attire and Harmony exits to the floor before kicking him in the ribs. She nails Regan again. The crowd roars before Harmony turns and whips Regan into the steel steps. The crowd cheers as Regan falls over as the top half of the steps fall over. Harmony smirks before grabbing the Women’s Championship. She looks at it and smiles before turning and throwing it onto the apron. The referee takes it and hands it off to Jason Phillips before turning back to Harmony and Regan as he drops to the floor to get them in the ring. Harmony grabs Regan and kicks her in the ribs and Regan falls to the barricade.

Sharper: “Harmony isn’t letting up at all. She knows that if she can take Regan off her game early, she’s got a hell of a start.”

Knots: “Yeah, that’s all well and good, but you need to get her in the ring! The match hasn’t started! Ref! Get in there!”

The referee tells them to get into the ring and Harmony nails Regan with a hard right before another. She then grabs her head and drives her face first into the ring apron. Regan winces a bit and Harmony pushes her into the ring. She rolls in and the referee enters and calls for the bell to start the match. Harmony gets up and Regan gets to her hands and knees and Harmony drives her elbow into the back of Regan’s head. Regan rolls over and Harmony goes for the pin.

Sharper: “Regan is not bothering to wrestle here. Just brawling. Fighting.”

Knots: “She’s pissed off. She’s not going to screw around.”

Sharper: “And perhaps it may even just be her focus in general. Just like later tonight, it’s not going to help if you necessarily can outwrestle your opponent. You need to outlast your opponent.”

Knots: “Yeah, but here, you just need to beat their ass until you get the one, two, three or the submission!”

She then throws the title over her shoulder and starts to walk around the ring to the entrance way before starting to head towards the back. Harmony starts to stir as the camera focuses on Regan Street as she heads to the back.

The scene opens up backstage as we open up in the locker room of Devon Kayl where Brittany Kayl and Skylar Desoubrais are with him.

Devon: “This is going to be the night…this is a great night…I can just feel it.”

Skylar looks a bit concerned.

Brittany: “Have you gotten your number?”

Devon: “Yes…I have.”

Brittany: “Care to share?”

Devon just coughs and points over to the camera.

Brittany: “Oh.”

Skylar: “Are you sure you’re okay there Devon? I mean…”

Devon just holds up his hand.

Devon: “I’m perfect. For the last month, I have saved my energy. I have trained intelligently. I have strategized this moment and it’s all going to be worth it tonight. Tonight, I finally show the world why I was Star of Tomorrow…and I go to Rise to Greatness X and in front of my hometown, I will win the World Championship. It’s the perfect plan and it will all come together.”

Skylar: “But was it worth-“

Devon: “It will be…when I’m standing at the end…victorious!”

Devon just smiles before he continues to unpack his bags. The crowd boos in the arena before we switch scenes.

We open up to see senior official Aaron Demitra walking through the backstage area. He walks over to one area before stopping and knocking on one door. He waits a moment before the door opens and Simon Lyman steps out.

Aaron: “Mr. Lyman?”

Lyman: “Yes, Aaron. What is it?”

Aaron: “You’re the last person to draw your number, but there’s an issue.”

Lyman: “I don’t like the sound of that.”

Aaron: “Don’t worry, you still have your spot. But because of the actions of Taco and Bell-“

Lyman: “Wait…the untalented Mexican luchadores that claim their champions and yet, I can’t find a record of it.”

Aaron: “Yeah…they took two drawings when they have only been granted one.”

Lyman just sighs.

Lyman: “So what the hell am I doing then?”

Aaron: “Quite simply, because they refused to tell me what they drew, my suggestion…wait by the curtain, when one of them goes out, you go out and that’s your spot. Their other one will be theirs.”

Lyman just looks down almost in disbelief.

Lyman: “What kind of rinky-dink solution is that? Did CHBK put you up to this? Is this a joke by my wife?”

Aaron: “It’s not. Unfortunately, we don’t have a way to confirm anything. It’s a random drawing and it’s up to the participants to show up for their entry. I’m sorry for the complications.”

Aaron turns and walks off. Lyman just shakes his head.

Lyman: “What a wonderful thing to happen.”

Lyman turns and closes the door as the crowd buzzes.

The scene then changes again as we go backstage to see Jessica Winters standing next to Orlando Cruze, Hurse and Porno Lad. The crowd roars before a very clearly mixed reaction comes over the crowd.

Jessica: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with Orlando Cruze, Hurse and Porno Lad-“

Porno Lad: “God…I even miss Billy Mayne now.”

Jessica pauses for a moment.

Jessica: “I am here with-“

Orlando: “Seriously…you don’t need to repeat it. I think people realize who you’re talking to. You’re talking to one of the future winners of tonight’s battle royal. And then one of us is going to Rise to Greatness and we will win the World Championship. And then, don’t worry Jessica, because you’ll be fired and don’t have to worry about being pointed out of your failings.”

Hurse: “Probably can get some good work down at one of the corners here. Maybe we can get her fired now. She can just walk to the Red Light District.”

Orlando: “Are you getting angry? Because now you know how we feel. We were overlooked. We’ve been forced to take this job. We’ve been forced to settle for SCW when we didn’t need to settle for ANYTHING in IWC. We WERE the best. That will be realized again soon enough. Tonight…well…it’s just step two…This…”

Orlando holds up the IWC World Championship he won from Shawn Cruze.

Orlando: “This was step one.”

Porno Lad: “If it helps, I’m sure I can get you some work.”

Porno Lad winks before letting out a sadistic laugh. He then walks off as Hurse and Orlando Cruze walk off as well and Jessica just looks at them with disgust before we cut back to ringside.

Marina Trent vs. Christian Savior

SCW United States Championship

"The Hand that Feeds" by Nine-Inch Nails plays as the lights to a bright white color onto the rampway. The fans cheer and yell their support as a light fog of black and white smoke settles along the ramp way and spills outwards, swirling. With all in place, a figure raises from under the mist, her back to the audience, who can only see the shining gems that adorn her black sarong, the black of her outfit and her brown hair, decorated with black feathers.

Running her hands through her hair and down her body sensually to the music, she earns excited cries and wolf calls from the audience. Turning slowly, the audience sees the dark eyes and gently smiling face of the Black Swan, Marina Trent. With a sudden turn, the lights flare white and pyrotechnics rain down, adding to the spectacle.

The Black Swan makes her way down the ramp, her body swaying with every step and staring at the arena darkly - a predator claiming her ground. Reaching the right side of the ring, she pulls herself up with ease and stays there for a moment before powering off with a high-flying backflip over the ropes and landing on her feet in the centre of the ring. Finally, running up to the bottom left turnbuckle, continuing her stride until she has launched herself up, balancing on the ropes, the Black Swan observes the audience with a smile. Without hesitation, Marina launches off from her precarious position on the top ropes into a graceful, but deadly dive. The moment her feet hit the ring's centre, she lands cleanly in a huntress crouch, the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Marina Trent looking to get her first piece of gold that’s not the SCW Women’s Championship. She won the contendership match against Gable Winchester and has looked good to say the least.”

Knots: “Just dodge the spear and all is good.”

Sharper: “Savior is more than that.”

Knots: “Yeah, but these morons don’t know that. They just keep chanting spear like jackasses.”

"You think you know me?"

"I AM FALLEN!"

The fans jump to their feet as the opening notes of "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge play loudly. On the screen plays the words spoken "I am fallen" until a light shatters them, the glowing, angelic figure of Rose Savior appearing in a white light as the fog grows from the entryway on the stage. As the music plays, the words reform into their true message:

"Ex Cineribus Resurgam"

"On this day, I see clearly!
Everything has come to life.
Bitter place in a broken dream and I leave it all behind
Not a chance to chase a dream.
Not a chase to feel ALIVE!!"

The fans in the stands are up in cheers and roars as from the growing mist of fog walks out The Rising Phoenix, Christian Savior. The big screen alternates between images of Rose Savior in her angelic light and white dress and segments of Savior spearing an opponent, holding up a title, or merely of him smirking and grinning from his victories. As the Fallen Prince down the ramp, he looks around with a slight grin on his face, stopping mid-way down the ramp. The fans wait with baited breath before Savior suddenly throws his arms in the air, a series of fire red and orange fireworks shooting behind him back up the ramp where an explosion if fireworks of the same colors shoot in all directions, the rising symbolism evident. The United States Championship is over his shoulder. As the pyro show dies away, Savior rushes to the ring, sliding in, his eyes still on the audience around him before he jumps to his feet and over to the turnbuckle. As the music continues to play with the video, The Supreme Champion holds his hand out to the audience, the same style as he uses when motioning for a certain move. As he grins wickedly at the audience, they immediately begin shouting out in unison "Spear! Spear! Spear!" which brightens the smirk on Christian's face as he hops off the turnbuckle. He then turns and hands off the US Championship as the SCW United States Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner.

Sharper: “The last match was about a lack of respect. None of that here. Just two competitors going for the US Championship.”

Knots: “Yeah. Too bad that Marina Trent is going to show Savior why asking for competition is going to get him to be an ex-champion!”

The referee showcases the title before handing it off to Jason Phillips. He then turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the crowd roars as Savior and Marina start to circle the ring. They look around before then heading to the middle of the ring and locking up in a grapple. Savior quickly turns into an arm wrench. He holds on as Marina flips forward and nips up. She wrenches the arm, but Savior turns into a side headlock. He pulls back and Marina pulls Savior to the ropes and fires him across. Savior bounces off the ropes. Marina leapfrogs over. Savior bounces off the other side and Marina turns and hits a monkey flip. Both get up and Marina turns and goes for a clothesline. Savior ducks. Marina turns around and Savior hits a hip toss. He goes to grab Marina, but Marina pushes him away with her feet. Savior rolls back. Marina nips up and Savior gets up. He turns to Marina and Marina hip tosses him down. She goes to grab Savior, but Savior pushes her off with his feet and Marina rolls back and both get up as the crowd roars.

Sharper: “And both just at each other. A sign of respect.”

Knots: “Yeah, blah, blah. Respect. Kick him in the face!”

Marina and Savior circle the ring again. They lunge at each other and grapple. Savior again gets the advantage with a side headlock. He then spins around and locks in a hammerlock. Marina bends over and pulls on the leg, knocking Savior down. Savior pushes her away with his boot. Marina runs into the ropes. Savior rolls over and Marina hops over him. Marina bounces off the other side and Savior gets up and Marina hits a running knee. Savior falls back to the ropes and bounces off. He goes for a clothesline, but Marina ducks. Savior stops and turns around and Marina nails him with a forearm before ducking down and jumping up and going for a crucifix. Savior however drops down into a Samoan drop counter. Savior gets up and jumps up for an elbow drop, but Marina rolls out of the way. Savior gets up and Marina jumps up and hits a dropkick, knocking Savior back and to the ropes. Savior holds onto the ropes and Marina steps forward and chops him hard in the chest; the crowd woos.

Knots: “Hard chop! Just keep doing that!”

Sharper: “That echoed throughout the arena. The crowd hearing them as you did at home.”

Marina chops him again. The crowd woos again. Marina then goes for the Irish whip. Savior spins through and sends Marina in. Marina bounces off and Savior goes for a back elbow. Marina ducks and jumps to the middle rope. She then goes for the crossbody and knocks Savior down.

Savior kicks out. Both get up and Marina jumps up for a hurricanrana, but Savior counters, by holding on and countering into a single leg crab. The crowd roars, but Marina starts to drag herself to the ropes and manages to quickly get there before Savior can sit down. Savior lets go after one and walks around. Marina starts to get up. Savior then walks over and Marina catches Savior with a forearm shot.

Sharper: “Marina again cuts off Savior.”

Knots: “Well she’s striking fast. Not taking anything for granted. Just taking her shots.”

Sharper: “It works and against a veteran like Savior, a smart plan.”

Marina nails Savior again. Savior steps back. Marina then kicks him in the ribs. She turns and runs into the ropes and goes for a swinging neckbreaker, but Savior counters with a backslide.

Marina kicks out. She rolls through and Savior gets up and hits a dropkick. The crowd roars. Marina stirs and Savior grabs her and hits a back suplex. He bridges up.

Marina kicks out again. She rolls over and Savior grabs her and lifts her up. He then nails her with a forearm before whipping her into the ropes. Marina bounces off the ropes and Savior hits a back body drop. Marina winces and stirs. Savior watches her before taking her down with a clothesline.

Knots: “Damn it! Savior’s starting to get control.”

Sharper: “Savior going for a reverse chinlock, just trying to wear down Marina.”

Knots: “Yeah. Don’t want her flying. Then bad things happen.”

Savior keeps the hold on and Marina winces. The referee checks on her, but she ignores him. She holds on as Savior pulls back. He then lets go briefly only to elbow her in the shoulder before locking in the hold again. Marina winces and looks around. Savior tries to turn her down to the mat, but Marina manages to stay seated. She slowly turns, holding her arm up and slowly turns as Savior holds on. The crowd cheers a bit as Marina starts to get her knees under her. Savior holds on and Marina turns to her knee. She then elbows Savior in the ribs. She elbows him again before then falling back, onto her hands and kicking Savior in the side of the head. Savior stumbles back. The crowd cheers and Marina gets up and Savior turns to her only for Marina to hit a standing enziguri. Savior falls to his hands and knees and Marina then steps onto his back and hits a standing shooting star press to his back before rolling off. Savior rolls over as the crowd cheers.

Sharper: “Great move by Marina. Standing shooting star off the back of Savior!”

Knots: “Told you! You don’t want her flying!”

Sharper: “Savior holding his back as she rolls over. Marina on her feet now and this match significantly changes here.”

The scene opens up backstage as we see Marisa Condolesa at the SCW interview area. The Cashmere Mafia, Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan are with her. Trinity Street stands with them.

Condolesa: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with the Cashmere Mafia and in mere moments, they will face off against the Next Level and challenge for the SCW World Tag Team Championship. Kennedy…Dawn…you’ve got the world watching.”

Kennedy smiles.

Kennedy: “Just how we like it. We came in, we showed some skin, we had some fun, we made some friends, we made some foes and tonight, we win SCW World Tag Team Championship gold. Sounds like a hell of a fairytale. Too bad for Next Level, it’s not going to be a fairy tale. It’s going to be what happens out there in that ring. I mean, it just seems great. And I know, we’ve been pretty cordial to one another. Some may even say outside of the ring, we’re decent friends, acquaintances, what have you. In a few moments, we’re all business.”

Dawn: “Keenie…are you okay? You’re talking about business.”

Kennedy: “I wanted to talk about how awesome my tights are, but Trin…she may get a bit testy.”

Trinity just glares at Kennedy.

Dawn: “Well, don’t worry, we’re focused on winning the World Tag Team Championship belts. We said it two months ago. We wanted competition. We got a taste of it at Riding the Lightning. Tonight…we get more. What’s wrong with that? Seems like so many people want drama…people want the juiciness.”

Kennedy: “I can help there…we both can.”

Dawn: “Tonight, we go out there and wrestle. And we’re coming home with more gold!”

Kennedy: “And damn…I can say we’re gonna look good in it.”

Kennedy and Dawn turn to Condolesa.

Condolesa: “Good luck tonight. Let’s now go to Patricia Harrison who is with the SCW World Tag Team Champions.”

The scene changes as we see Patricia Harrison standing with David Helms and Tommy Valentine outside of their locker room.

Harrison: “Thank you Marisa. David, Tommy, you’re going to defend your World Tag Team Championship belts against Cashmere Mafia in just a few moments. What is going through your mind and what’s your strategy tonight?”

Helms: “Well I could say we’re going to win, but that would sound arrogant. Wouldn’t it?”

Tommy: “Probably.”

Helms: “What about rise to the occasion?”

Tommy: “That’s a bit better.”

Helms: “How about I just say we’re going to show why we were always viewed as future Tag Champions when we weren’t champions and how now, that we have the titles, they’re not going anywhere for a long, LONG, time.”

Tommy: “That seems a bit long-winded but about right.”

Helms: “See, Kennedy, Dawn, we appreciate the competition, but as you pointed out, we have only one goal…to win. We’re not going to just accept anything less. We spent years of our career waiting for the chance to be Tag Champions and now here we are. You’ve had a good few months since you broke back in with SCW. The Cashmere Mafia is turning heads. But the fact is…we’ve worked too hard to watch you walk back through those curtains as champion.”

Tommy: “Look, you both are cute. You’re both good wrestlers. There will be another shot for both of you. You’ve already shown you’re a cut above the rest. Too bad…we’re a cut above that!”

Tommy Valentine and David Helms turn and walk off.

Harrison: “Back to ringside.”

The scene cuts back to ringside.

Cashmere Mafia vs. The Next Level

SCW World Tag Team Championship

“Hot Like Wow” by Natalie Oh plays throughout the arena. The lights go out and a single spotlight shines in the entranceway as both Kennedy Street and Dawn Lohan ascend from the platform on each side. The two slowly walk to the center of the entranceway, fling their hairs back and pose for the cameras as the two ladies make their way to the ring. Following behind them is their manager and advisor, Trinity Street. The Cashmere Mafia look at the fans and smirk as Dawn slides into the ring slowly, getting to her knees and looking over her shoulder as Kennedy slowly makes her way to the announcers table and hugs the announcers, kissing them on the cheek. She slowly makes her way through the ropes with a slow and sexy pose shaking her tush. Trinity stands outside in their corner as the two vixens stand on each side of the ring posts climbing to the second rope. Kennedy gives a sexy smile and blows kisses while Dawn points to the crowd with a sexy smirk as she looks up to the rafter and raises her arms in the air closing her eyes. They get down; kiss each other while raising one leg behind them. The Cashmere Mafia then awaits their opponents as Kennedy flirts with the referee.

Sharper: “The Cashmere Mafia getting ready for arguably the biggest match of their career. The World Tag Team Championship is on the line.”

Knots: “I’m so conflicted. I’m all for Next Level to retain, but the Cashmere Mafia…there’s just something about them.”

Sharper: “I’m sure. Regardless, maybe you can give some analysis instead of cheerleading.”

Knots: “Don’t hate because I’m awesome!”

The Arena is plunged into complete darkness as the sound of footsteps begins to reverberate around the vast building. White spotlights roam around the audience as words begin to fade in on the big screen.

"There's A Fine Line Between Hero And Villain..."

In the arena, the sound of footsteps grows a little louder as the words on the screen are replaced by a video package shot from ground level, showing two shadowy figures walking up a gravel path towards the camera.

"...Most Of The Time"

The footsteps have risen to an almost unbearable level as a the screen changes back to the same video, this time showing only the legs and feet of the two figures as they’re now remarkably close to the camera. The footsteps reach a crescendo as the two figures stop dead in front of the camera.

"But THIS Time... It's Fairly Obvious Which Is Which!"

The shot tilts upwards and pans out to reveal Thomas Valentine and David Helms smirking into the camera. On cue, Helms throws his arms up into the Self High Five as Valentine throws his arms out wide on either side of him.

“THE NEXT LEVEL!”

The video quickly changes to a montage, showing both men hitting various moves, including Valentine’s ‘Grievers Bane’ and Helms’s ‘New Jersey Neckbreaker’ as “The Flood” by Escape The Fate blasts over the arena’s pa system. The song is in full flow as the curtains part, allowing Thomas Valentine and David Helms to walk out onto the stage to a resounding chorus of boo's from the crowd. Both men stride out to the top of the ramp before stopping, revelling in the negative reaction from the crowd, who are going crazy, hating on the two members of The Next Level. They both have their World Tag Team Championship belts over their shoulders as Helms also has the SCW Adrenaline Championship around his waist. Throwing his arms up, Helms jumps in the air and does the Self High Five and as he brings his hands apart fireworks erupt from either side of the ramp, going all the way down to the ring before the house lights come back on.

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

Sharper: “Next Level is on top of the world. Obviously they’re going to do everything in their power to retain those titles.”

Knots: “Yeah. Well, the two best teams in SCW right now… best active teams…they’re going at it here.”

Sharper: “Cashmere Mafia has been impressive to say the least, but so has Next Level.”

Helms and Valentine hand off their World Tag Team Championship belts to the official who raises them over his head. Helms hands off his Adrenaline Championship as the SCW World Tag Team Championship logo comes across the screen before fading to the bottom corner. The referee hands the titles off and the bell sounds. Helms and Tommy talk a bit before Helms stays in the ring. Dawn Lohan stays in for the Cashmere Mafia.

She goes to grab Helms, but Helms nails Dawn again and steps forward.

She falls to her knees as Helms lets go and backs away.

Dawn then grabs Tommy and pulls him out and snapmares him over before Kennedy turns and dropkicks him in the side of the head. Dawn exits as Tommy rolls onto the apron and gets up and uses the ropes. Kennedy then smirks before running across the ring and bounces off the ropes before just running into the ropes, hitting Tommy in the face with her backside, knocking him off the apron to the floor.

Knots: “Perfect ass strike to the face of Tommy! There’s a move that Tommy can’t be too angry about.”

Sharper: “Except that he hit hard to the floor. Kennedy Street is a bit open with her overt sexuality, but she can get it done.”

Knots: “Nothing wrong with overt sexuality.”

Sharper: “Of course not for you.”

Tommy rolls over and starts to get up on the floor. The referee turns and counts and Kennedy then runs over and goes for a baseball slide, but Tommy steps out of the way. Kennedy lands on her feet and Tommy pulls her into a short-arm clothesline. The crowd ohs. Tommy then turns to Dawn who jumps off the steel steps with a crossbody to Tommy.

The crowd ohs and boos and Kennedy then enters the ring as the official turns to Helms and Kennedy runs over and nails him with a running forearm, knocking him off the apron.

Sharper: “This is turning into just a game of very physical chess. Both are trying to outthink the other.”

Knots: “Both teams like their double-teams. Both teams know each other well. And both are successful. You do what you need to to win.”

Sharper: “And obviously they understand that, but still, you can see the intensity level going up and look out! Here comes Tommy from behind!”

Kennedy turns around to Tommy and Tommy jumps up and suddenly hits the Griever’s Bane! The crowd erupts in boos as Tommy rolls over. He then goes for the pin, but the official waves it off.

Sharper: “Dawn Lohan is getting positively manhandled here.”

Knots: “Yeah, well it’s a one on two match right now as Kennedy Street is still feeling Tommy’s Griever’s Bane.”

Sharper: “This is why Next Level, it was always seen as a matter of time for them to be Tag Champions. They know each other well. Both are former World Champions and tonight, they’re so far, a step ahead of Dawn Lohan, Kennedy Street, the Cashmere Mafia!”

The scene then slowly fades to black.

The scene opens up to show a shot of an empty stadium first showing the Metrodome empty. A few moments pass before we see the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minnesota empty. This is followed by a shot of Cowboys Stadium empty, before a shot of Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. We then cut to a shot of the empty Georgiadome in Atlanta, before cutting to a shot of old Yankee Stadium and then a shot of Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. This is followed by a shot of Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The scene then cuts to black before showing a shot of the empty Rogers Centre in Toronto. The scene then turns a shot of the arena full with the SCW Rise to Greatness set in it.

Mr. D: “Welcome everyone to Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Welcome everyone to the SCW! Welcome everyone to Rise to Greatness!”

This phrases leads to shots of each arena coming back in order, with the year in the top corner, of each of the previous buildings set up for Rise to Greatness and the opening pyro being shown off before we cut to black before we then see the item filmed moved, showing a silver border before then showing a large metallic looking structure. The camera slowly pans out showing off the Rise to Greatness logo with a huge X behind it and the tag line: “It’s Good to Come Home.”

This is then followed by Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario, July 28, 2013 appearing underneath the logo. The scene then fades to black.

The crowd can be heard roaring as we cut backstage to see Stacy Kissinger backstage, clearly not pleased before we see Gable Winchester walk up to her. The crowd boos seeing her.

Kissinger: “I’m not in tha mood Gable…”

Gable: “That’s funny…because you seem to love to throw me under the bus any chance I get. I noticed you’re not in the battle royal anymore…why’s that…oh yeah…you screwed up again!”

Kissinger glares at Gable.

Gable: “And what am I? Oh yeah…TRIOS TOURNAMENT WINNER…”

Gable leans forward to Kissinger.

Gable: “BAY! BAY!”

Kissinger moves away.

Kissinger: “Ya breath still smells like cheap wine…”

Gable: “Always jealous…how many people have moved on from you now? Me…Tatum….”

Kissinger: “What the hell do you want?”

Gable: “Just wanted to let you know…yet again….that us splitting…greatest move I could ever make. I’m just wondering who is next for you to leech on and drive to hell before they move on to better things.”

Kissinger just glares at Gable. Gable smirks before starting to walk off. Jack then comes into view, having followed him.

Jack: “I hope you enjoy the rest of the show, Stacy.”

Jack then walks off as Kissinger glares at them before taking a deep breath.

We cut to ringside before the Taking Hold of the Flame logo comes up on the screen before we see a shot of Brittany Lohan and then a shot of Syren for the SCW World Championship come up.

Sharper: “Well as Gable Winchester flaunts his success to his former flame, Syren has been flaunting her World Championship and tonight, she defends against Brittany Lohan.”

Knots: “Syren used her Trios Tournament shot to win the title. Tonight, Lohan uses hers.”

Sharper: “And if Lohan wins, she has her ticket punched for the main event of Rise to Greatness.”

A recap video plays showing Lohan and Syren in the Trios Tournament before showing Lohan’s announcement for the match at Taking Hold of the Flame. We see Syren’s win against Regan Street and Lohan’s involvement. We then hear statements from both sides including Syren and Regan Street’s tension between each other and their growing togetherness against Lohan.

Brittany Lohan vs. Syren

SCW World Championship

‘I am done pretending’

Blasts over the loudspeakers as the lights in the arena go out and the fans instantly start to boo heavily when they recognize whose theme song it is. Just a spotlight focuses on the curtains of the entrances the clips once again fades away into the words that read: “Bleeding you is more than just torment.”

The curtains slowly start to part as Lohan slips through them like a slithering snake. She is soon accompanied by “Typhoid” Mary Mallory. She stops at the top of the ramp and she looks like everything, but relaxed as her whole body is tensed looking like she’s ready to strike at the drop of a dime like a coiled cobra. Her icy eyes pan around the arena and the fans closest to the ramp and she snarls at a few of them get a little too vocal with her. However, the moment that her eyes catch the glimpse of the ring she shuts the fans out and turns all of her attention to the squared circle.

‘After the lights go out on you
After your worthless life is through
I will remember how you scream
I can't afford to care
I can't afford to care’

With clenched fists, gritted teeth, and glaring icy eyes… Lohan starts to make her way down to the ring methodically. Mary follows suit, walking with Brittany side by side the entire time. Lohan is taking slow, calculated, but powerful steps towards the ring. Her icy glare is so fixated on the ring that it would seem to appear that she doesn’t realize that the arena is nearly sold out. The way that she looks right now it might as well be empty for all she cares.

I am suffocating
You have failed to pull me in
I will drag you down again
Life is unrelenting
Feeding lies into my head
I will feed the lies you live

Now you want to take me down
As if I even care
I am the monster in your head
And I thought you'd learn by now
It seems you haven't yet
I am the venom in your skin
And now your life
Is broken

As she nears the squared circle, Lohan slows down to a snails pace as she proceeds to walk around the perimeter of the ring with her eyes closed. When she’s satisfied she opens her eyes and reaches up to grab the bottom rope with her right hand and pulls herself up onto the apron only allowing one knee to touch before she rolls into the ring. Meanwhile Mary walks over to the announce position, grabs a steel holding chair and places it in front of the ring.

With Britt in the ring she gets on both of her knees, closing her eyes, as she lifts both of her arms up into the air. She holds that position for several seconds before she slows climbs up to her feet, but then as if a switch was flipped somewhere her entire presence changes. It intensifies as she starts to warm up by running off the ropes and doing some stretches as she waits for her victim of the night. Lohan’s video finishes up with the words: “…Just stand there and stare as my world crumbles.”

Knots: “This leech is enjoying the exploits of her Trios Tournament winning that SYREN helped her get and she’s using it against her.”

Sharper: “That’s one way of looking at it. Or that she happened to be on the winning team and much like Syren used her Trios Tournament shot six weeks ago at Riding the Lightning: Night Two, Lohan is doing it tonight. If she wins, she will not have to make any World Championship defenses until Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “Yeah, probably because she’s not as confident as she acts!”

Sharper: “Do you want to test that?”

Knots: “I’m doing a job right now! I’m carrying your ass on commentary!”

Sharper: “Sure…”

The lights dim slightly and a spotlight points down at the center of the stage. After a few seconds the screens display a countdown.

PINNACLE WILL STEAL THE SHOW IN

NOW!

“Groupie” by Cassie Steele hits the PA system. After a few moments the curtains part as Syren makes her way on to the stage, stopping for a moment as she steps in to the spotlight and looking around at the arena before looking down at the ground in front of her and flicking her hair back and smiling at the cameras and the fans, soaking in the atmosphere and revelling in every moment, from the cheers from some fans to boos from most. She turns around, facing backwards toward the ring and pointing at the back of her pink ring-jacket jacket which bears the words "JUST BE JEALOUS". The SCW World Championship sits over her shoulder.

Sinfully Seductive
Captivatingly Corrupt
Dark Fantasy

Syren smiles and blows a kiss to the camera. She turns back to the entrance curtain as the curtain parts and Ravyn Taylor walks out in ring attire similar to Syren’s. They stand back to back on the ramp for a moment, with Syren striking more of a pose than her tag team partner. They join hands and walk down to the ring, with Syren holding up her hand to a section of fans as she walks passed them. Ravyn climbs up the ring steps while Syren walks around ringside and jumps up on the apron. The cameras focus on Syren as she poses on the apron then slowly ducks under the middle rope, wiggling her ass as she does to tease the fans. But as she wiggles, Lohan then walks over and grabs her by the throat and jerks her in. The crowd roars.

Knots: “No! Not my favourite part of her entrance!”

Sharper: “Lohan! She has Syren by the throat!”

Ravyn turns and goes after Lohan, but Lohan grabs her by the throat. Syren then kicks Lohan in the ribs. She lets go of both and steps back. Syren then lowers down her title before going to nail Lohan, but Lohan ducks. She then spins around as Ravyn then kicks her in the back of the leg. Syren turns and drills Lohan in the head with the belt, knocking her down. The crowd ohs and Syren then hands the title to the official.

Syren: “Raise it and ring the f*cking bell!”

Knots: “Yeah!”

The referee takes the title before handing it off. He then looks at Lohan before Mary just snaps at the official.

Mary: “Ring it!”

The referee turns and calls for the bell. The bell sounds. The SCW World Championship logo comes across the screen before going to the bottom corner.

Knots: “Good! She wants to see Lohan lose too!”

Sharper: “Syren blasts her with the belt and the match is starting!”

Ravyn looks on as she is on the floor and Syren kicks Lohan in the ribs. She then goes for the Total Makeover, but Lohan then shoves her off. The crowd roars and Syren falls to the ropes, bounces off and Lohan then looks at her as she grabs her by the throat. Syren looks at Lohan shocked before Lohan hoists her up and presses her over her head. Syren yells out before Lohan turns and throws her out of the ring and down to the floor in front of the announce table. The crowd ohs and Syren rolls into the table. The crowd then cheers as Lohan holds her head before then cracking her neck and methodically exiting the ring.

Sharper: “Syren dumped in front of us! Lohan now stalking the World Champion.”

Knots: “Oh God….she pisses her off! She pissed her off.”

Lohan then walks over and Knots stands up.

Knots: “Leave her alone! Leave Syren alone!”

Lohan then turns and smacks Knots, knocking him over as the crowd roars. Lohan then turns to Syren and grabs her and Syren nails her with a shot to the ribs before another and another before she rears back and goes to nail her with a hard right, but Lohan blocks it and headbutts Syren. She hits another headbutt before then hip throwing Syren down hard on the floor. The referee just looks on before dropping to the floor, pleading with Lohan to get Syren into the ring. Knots falls over, holding his jaw as he is dazed. Mary smirks at Knots before Lohan walks over to Syren. Ravyn just looks on as Lohan grabs Syren and then hip tosses her on the floor in front of the announce table.

Sharper: “Jonathan is still down. You okay? Maybe it’ll show you to shut up…Lohan meanwhile is tossing Syren around like a damn ragball in front of this table.”

Syren stirs and reaches for the ring before turning to the official. Lohan blasts her with a vicious forearm. She just looks dazed and Lohan nails her again. Lohan then turns and hip throws Syren up and over the table and into Jonathan Knots again. The crowd roars.

Sharper: “Syren into Jonathan Knots! I can’t feel he’s complaining! Too bad he may not be conscious!”

Lohan walks around the table and grabs Syren and then turns and drags her across the table and dumps her to the floor. The referee again pleads with Lohan, but Lohan ignores the official. Lohan then turns and grabs Syren before looking at her.

Lohan: “You want to use the title Syren to beat me….”

Lohan then pulls her into a vicious short-arm clothesline. Syren hits the mats hard and rolls over. Lohan then grabs her and stomps her in the head. Syren rolls over. Lohan then turns and looks at the official before just telling him to shut up. She then grabs the mats and pulls one back and exposes the concrete.

Sharper: “Oh boy…Lohan has made it clear she’s not listening to the official and now she’s pulling back the mats and exposing the concrete. This has to be bad for Syren!”

Lohan turns and grabs Syren and elbows her in the back of the head. She then elbows her again. Ravyn looks on and the camera focuses on her for a moment before Lohan then grabs Syren and lifts her up in a military press. The official pleads with her but Lohan just smirks before press slamming Syren onto the concrete. The crowd erupts in cheers as Syren grimaces in pain and rolls over to her stomach. Lohan then laughs as the crowd cheers some more. A “Lohan!” chant breaks up.

Sharper: “Press slam on the concrete! Oh my God!”

Knots starts to stir as Ravyn looks on and Lohan then grabs Syren and slowly lifts her up. Syren struggles a bit but Lohan headbutts her again and then kicks her in the ribs. She double-underhooks her as the rabid New York crowd erupts. The referee again pleads with Lohan, but Lohan ignores. Ravyn just looks on before then starting to walk around. Lohan just smirks, almost daring Lohan before Lohan then goes to lift Syren up, but Syren blocks it and drops down before back dropping Lohan onto the concrete. Knots returns to his seat.

Knots: “Oh thank God!”

Sharper: “Back drop by Syren on the concrete. Are you okay Jon?”

Knots: “I’m just happy Syren took down that oaf!”

Ravyn relieved, backs up a bit as Syren rolls over. She then grabs at the ring apron and pulls herself up. Mary just smirks before Syren then rolls into the ring as Lohan stirs. She starts to get up and Syren turns and yells at the official.

Syren: “Count her out! Damn it!”

Syren rolls over and starts to get up. Lohan starts to get up as the official turns to Syren and clearly shows his apprehension to doing so.

Knots: “This ref isn’t doing his job!”

Sharper: “I think he’s giving this match a lot of latitude. He knows the implications. The last thing he wants to do is end this on a countout or disqualification, especially going into Rise to Greatness!”

Knots: “Who gives a damn! Lohan is a menace. She hit me. She tried to kill Syren!”

Lohan gets up and then grabs at the ropes and starts to get up. Syren runs over and nails her with a forearm and then another and another. Lohan then blasts Syren with a hard right. Syren rolls back. Lohan enters the ring and Syren gets up before Lohan takes a step and Syren jumps up and hits a front dropkick. Lohan falls to the ropes.

Lohan runs after her and nails her with a running clothesline. Syren just drops to the mat as the crowd roars.

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

Knots: “Jesus!”

Sharper: “This is turning into just a beatdown. Syren is a hell of a wrestler, but Lohan has a hell of a strategy and is just using her strength to perfection.”

Knots: “Ravyn! You’re going to have to get involved. You’re going to have to be more than just a counterweight to Mary!”

Lohan then grabs Syren as the crowd cheers for Lohan again and Lohan then scoops her up and hits a sidewalk slam. She pulls back on the legs.

Knots: “Thirty people…a chance to go to the biggest stage…biggest main event. Thank God Lohan can’t get it.”

A shot of Jake Starr running down to the ring is shown, before cutting to show Mayhem clotheslining someone over the top rope and then showing Hiro Tanaka and The Real Speed standing toe to toe brandishing kendo sticks.

We then cut to show James Exeter and Nathan Kaye eliminating some poor soul and then showing Exeter pulling down the top rope as Sickle goes up and over before showing him dropkicking Thorn in 2009.

“…by eliminating sixteen overall! But what of in a single battle royal?”

The video switches to a shot of The Real Speed before showing him nailing someone in the head with a kendo stick and then showing him eliminating Marek Thorn before showing him throwing CHBK and Jay Gold up and over the top rope to the floor. We then see Speed celebrating.

“The Real Speed holds that honour with eleven eliminations in 2005 when he managed to controversially win that year’s battle royal. But that wasn’t all for Speed in that fateful year…”

We then see Speed running down from the back at number one.

“He is one of two people to win the battle royal starting at number one. Who is the other?”

We then cut to a shot showing Adam Riddick in the ring victorious. He is then shown heading to the ring in 2006.

“In 2006, one year later, Adam Riddick did the feat. But does that mean earlier is better?”

We then cut to shot of Damian Angel heading down to the ring in 2007.

“Not quite…six of the nine previous winners came in after the halfway point: leading to some more commonalities. Two winners at 21…CHBK and James Exeter.”

We then see CHBK standing tall before showing James Exeter heading down to the ring. We then cut to shots of Shawn Winters standing tall in the ring before showing Greg Cherry on his way to the ring in his hometown in 2010.

“Two winners at thirty…Greg Cherry and Shawn Winters…While this year’s event is not capped at forty entrants like in three previous years, late also helped then when Matt Hodges entered at 40, whereas Jason Zero won at 39.”

We then cut to a shot of Matt Hodges looking down at the ring and smiling before showing Jason Zero smirking in a bit of confident disbelief at the end of last year’s battle royal. The scene then cuts to black.

“But what of some of the more dubious achievements?”

We then see a shot of Rauha standing in the ring and looking around as the field, CHBK, Kasheryn, James Toreno, The Real Speed, Jay Gold, Greg Cherry and Adam Riddick, turns to him. He then is shown dropping to the fetal position.

“Seven…the most amount of people it took to make a single elimination…it took seven to eliminate Rauha in 2005.”

We then see them all grabbing him before hoisting him up and tossing him over the top rope to the floor.

“Five people have eliminated themselves in the annual contest of survival.”

We see a shot of Snakeskin running across and clotheslining Justin Sane over the top rope but the momentum takes him up and over.

“Only one person has officially unofficially officially been an entrant. Jake Starr in 2009!”

We see a shot of Jake Starr walking to the ring. We see him hit a mat slam on Brian Kinney before showing him dropkicking Sarah Punche in the jaw. We then see Kayl clotheslining Jake Starr over the top rope to the floor before showing him sliding back in. We then see him hitting a plancha over the top rope onto the Taskmaster before showing him getting up and heading back to the ring before showing him finally being eliminated by Brayden Walker.

“Three seconds? Is that the shortest time in the battle royal? Held by Calvan Greene in 2007?”

We see Calvan Greene entering the ring before taking off his entrance attire only for Damian Angel to throw him over the top rope.

“Nope! That dubious distinction goes to The Executioner in 2005 with two seconds!”

We then see the Executioner sliding into the ring before running at Speed only for Speed to back drop him to the floor.

“But what about the longest?”

1:04:52

“One hour, four minutes, fifty-two seconds…held by James Exeter in 2008. Entered at number 11 and remained until the very end when he saw his friend defeat him.”

We then see a shot of James Exeter being powerbombed over the top rope by Xander Valentine and into two officials to the floor.

“But at the end, the field is vast…thirty men and women fighting for the prize at Rise to Greatness. No one has won it twice. But at Rise to Greatness, the challenger for the SCW World Championship has won 44% of the time!”

We see a shots of Kelcey Wallace, before showing Blitzkrieg, Tatum McGraw and Aiken and then a shot of Orlando Cruze, standing on the stage with Hurse and Porno Lad. This is followed by a shot of Christy Matthews hitting the Happily Never After on someone before showing Jake Starr hitting the Shooting Five Star on Collin Cole.

Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal

The scene opens up inside the Madison Square Garden again as the crowd roars and we then focus on Jason Phillips in the ring.

Phillips: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is the tenth annual Taking Hold of the Flame battle royal!”

The crowd rises to their feet cheering.

Phillips: “The rules are as follows. In a few moments, entrants one and two will enter this ring. Every ninety seconds, another individual will enter the match. Participants are eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the ground. The individual who is the final person standing will go to Rise to Greatness in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to challenge for the SCW World Championship!”

The crowd cheers.

Phillips: “Now let’s find out who drew number one!”

Sharper: “Here we go. It’s the tenth annual battle royal. The fight to determine the number one contender and the challenger in the World Championship match in the biggest main event in SCW History at Rise to Greatness.”

Knots: “And for the first time ever, we don’t know any of the entrants. We don’t know when anyone is coming out.”

I'm not cocky
I just love myself
Bitch!

As the lights in the arena begin to dim, the whimsical voice of Katie Steward is heard giggling as “Vanity” by Christina Aguilera plays on the speaker system. Bright pink spot lights swirl around the arena as varies images of Katie Steward are captured on the video screen. This beautiful display encourages and prompts her fan base to jump out of their seats and start clapping for their Goddess. Plush ruby red carpet is rolled down the aisle way just as Katie Steward emerges from behind the curtains. Miss Steward is all decked out wearing her long white coat and a stunning diamond studded tiara rests on her beautiful blonde hair curls. Katie produces her famous smiles for the live audience, and the more they applause and encourages her, she postures for them. Multiple flash bulbs can be seen as the cameras snatch as many and every pose she graces them with.

Katie starts her walk down the ramp to ringside. TJ Johnson exists from behind the curtain and follows his Goddess. Once she reaches ringside, Katie folds her arms over chest and looks back over her shoulder at TJ Johnson waiting for him to do his job. When he sees that “look”, he immediately runs past her and enters into the ring. He signals for the microphone from the Jason Phillips and when he hesitates, T.J. snatches it from his hand.

Next T.J. excitedly waves everyone out of the ring. All the while Katie was fixing her hair at ringside ignoring what T.J. was doing. She walks over to the steel ring step and awaits her introduction.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
They call me stuck up, but I'm not at all
Never mind, I am (I am)
It's not my fault I'm the shit
Yeah I am
And I'm a bad ass bitch (hey!)

The camera’s view returns to Katie Steward as she stands at ringside fixing her coat. She looks up spreads her arms out wide and smiles the Famous smile for her glorious introduction as some of the fans have already begun to boo her and show how much they dislike and disrespect for her.

TJ Johnson: And finally, the reason why we have all come here tonight, your next number one contender and the challenger at Rise to Greatness… She is The Queen of Queens, The Goddess of Desire, The SCW’s own Crown Jewel. Get your cameras and video recorders ready for… KATIE STEWARD….

Katie gracefully walks up the steel ring steps and onto the apron. She bends down enters the rings between the middle ropes that T.J. holds down for her. She walks over to the opposite corner and climbs onto the ropes. She takes off her lovely coat revealing her beautiful wrestling attire. Many in the crowd start to take snap shots of their Goddess. Katie jumps down and walks to the other corner to pose and climbs up on the middle ropes just as the lighting returns to normal and the music dies. Katie does one last pose for the fans then she jumps down and turns to the entrance way as TJ Johnson stands at ringside.

Sharper: “Wow! Talk about an uphill battle. Katie Steward has had respectable showings in the past, but this is the first time she’s drawn a number outside of the twenties.”

Knots: “Not to mention that she’s been outside of her twenties for a while.”

Sharper: “Stop it.”

Knots: “Sorry, but she’s hoping to go to Rise to Greatness. She’s got a better chance just focusing on pissing on IWC’s parade and that’s it!”

Sharper: “Well who is going to join her to start this match.”

NECRO!

The audience rise to their feet in cheers as a woman screams the word "NECRO!"! The masses shout as "Sin with A Grin" by Shinedown is heard. A growing fog forms near the entryway of the ramp as a spotlight shines down on the ramp

Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down
Time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back
Of a soulfull man
I've got way's you understand
Look left, look right, but I'm
Behind you

As the song advises the masses to look left and right, from the fog rises Shilo Valiant, his mask the ever-smile of the jester.

I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head

At those words, Valiant slowly locks his arms in the X pattern of "Necro" before thrusting his right hand up to the spotlight, locking up at the raised palm that faces him. As he does, a shower of red sparks rains down upon him, seemingly from the spotlight. Amidst the shower of sparks the chorus plays:

Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?

Valiant slowly lowers his arm, the colors of his mask glowing amidst the red of the rain and white of the spotlights

These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin

The eternally smiling one slowly walks down the ramp, the spotlight following him. He walks around the ring and up the short stairs, climbing under the middle-rope to enter the ring. Standing within its center, the spotlight still cast on him, Shilo Valiant slowly raises his arm once more to the source, his spotlight, looking up at it as his fingers reach for it.

SIN WITH A GRIN!

With a one last look at such an image, Shilo commanding the spotlight on him, the lights return to normal.

Sharper: “Shilo Valiant, number two. And he’s looking to get back to the World Championship, but he has just as long of a path to travel.”

Knots: “Yeah, well, he’s going to get the spotlight for a while. He can fight with Katie for it, but you know people in the back have to be smiling.”

Sharper: “Two arguable favourites having the hardest path to victory tonight.”

The bell sounds. Shilo and Katie start to watch each other before they move towards one another and Katie nails Shilo with a forearm and then a kick to the ribs. Shilo jabs Katie in the chest before turning and nailing her with a back chop. Katie turns back and grabs Shilo and tries to drag him over to the ropes, but Shilo spins through and elbows Katie in the jaw. Katie stumbles back and Shilo goes over and kicks her in the ribs. Shilo then grabs Katie and goes to throw her towards the ropes, but Katie spins through and leans against the ropes. Shilo then nails her with a hard right before another. Katie leans on the middle rope and Shilo lifts her up and whips her into the ropes. Katie bounces off the ropes and Shilo goes for a hip toss, but Katie lands on her feet before nailing him with a forearm and then jumping up and hitting a dropkick.

Sharper: “Both trying to get the other to the ropes early. Best strategy for these early entrants…get people out quick and get yourself some rest.”

Knots: “Yeah, but the fact is that the other entrants aren’t going to let you just toss them.”

Sharper: “Exactly and right now, Shilo and Katie have to switch things up and focusing on wearing the other down. Hope they get some help and luck too.”

Shilo gets back up and Katie turns and clubs him in the back before clubbing him again. She turns and shoves him to the corner. Katie then kicks him in the ribs before grabbing the top rope and using her boot to choke Shilo. Shilo struggles as Katie keeps choking him. TJ cheers her on and Katie steps back and nails Shilo with a forearm. Katie then grabs Shilo and whips her across. Katie runs after Shilo and Shilo lowers his head. He goes to hoist Katie up, but Katie manages to turn and lands on the top rope before turning to the apron. The crowd roars.

Knots: “Katie might be out!”

Sharper: “Bad predicament. Up and over!”

Shilo turns and goes to nail Katie, but Katie blocks it and nails Shilo with a forearm. She then dives into the ring. She gets up and Shilo then boots Katie in the face. Katie stumbles back and falls over. She gets up and turns to Shilo who powerslams her down. Shilo then rolls over and starts to get up as the countdown clock starts to pop up in the corner.

#Rrwoooaaaw!#

“Hell” starts to play and Thirteen appears from the back. He lowers his hood before taking off his entrance attire and starts to head to the ring.

Sharper: “Thirteen is number three tonight.”

Knots: “At least half of his name in the drawing.”

Sharper: “And he’s got his eyes locked on Shilo Valiant and we know the wars they’ve had in recent months!”

Shilo turns away from Katie as Thirteen runs down to the ring and slides in. He gets up and nails Shilo with a hard right. Shilo fires back with one of his own. The crowd roars as Thirteen nails Shilo with another shot and then Shilo fires back.

Sharper: “Shilo saving himself there as Katie and Thirteen nearly worked together to make him the first elimination!”

Knots: “And just that’s why this is so hard for any of these three…you saw how Katie nearly came up from behind.”

Sharper: “Exactly. You have to have your head on a swivel. And they have to do it for roughly an hour.”

Shilo turns and blasts Thirteen with another shot. He then turns and runs at Katie and clotheslines her down. A faint “Shilo!” chant begins before Shilo turns to Thirteen and Thirteen walks out only for Shilo to chop him in the chest. The crowd woos. Shilo chops him again.

Shilo rolls over and starts to get up and Thirteen grabs him and hits a single underhook suplex.

Sharper: “Hard suplex, Thirteen forcing Shilo down.”

Knots: “Shilo’s not worrying about the spotlight here. He’s worried about getting his ass kicked before getting eliminated.”

Thirteen turns and goes to Katie and clubs her in the back. He turns and throws her to the ropes. Katie falls to the middle rope.

Shilo leans on the top rope and Howell turns and starts to lift him up. The crowd roars as Shilo struggles a bit. Howell keeps pushing up.

Sharper: “Howell making an impact quickly in this match. Going for Shilo.”

Knots: “Going for everyone. He knows he’s got a chance to make his name in SCW by eliminating three former World Champions and he’s starting with the second most annoying one in there!”

Sharper: “Shilo, trying to hold on. Katie and Thirteen stirring. Howell has control.”

Sharper: “Shilo dodges another bullet. A lot of close calls early.”

Knots: “Thirteen brought him back last year and that’s the thanks he got and then Katie and Blake…God…”

He just smirks as he takes his time slowly heading to the ring.

Sharper: “Porno Lad entering the fray at number six and our first member of the IWC grouping in this match.”

Knots: “I can only hope someone tosses someone right onto him and he’s not able to make it in. That would be great. Maybe may knock the spell of Hurse from him too!”

Sharper: “Porno Lad is the most unpredictable of that group, but then again, this whole thing is unpredictable!”

Sharper: “Porno Lad cut off by the former World Champion and Katie is just teeing off!”

The crowd continues to build in roars as Katie gets PL to the ropes. She nails him one more time for good measure before backing off and then turning and running at PL and PL then hoists her up and over. The crowd roars and Katie holds on, hanging over the edge.

Knots: “They’re probably counting the people they can throw out. This is bad. This is really bad!”

Sharper: “Meanwhile, Regan Street taking her time in getting back into the ring. Katie Steward is still down in front of us.”
