The feed ends in static but then it reappears with the PUNK HAZARD logo soon appearing on the screen.

_________________________________________________________________

The PUNK HAZARD logo remains on the screen as the scene transitions to a shot of a TV screen. The PUNK HAZARD logo is prominent but the TV begins to static. The scene zooms out to reveal several TVs stacked up together, also staticing. This goes on for a bit until all of them show the exact same images from last year's World Hazard Festival, on their respective screens.

 

Franklin Meyers: "We are finally here! Saturday, August 13th, 2016. Welcome everyone to the very first ever World Hazard Festival here at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, here LIVE in San Francisco, California. the entire Bay Area is here tonight."

 

Several flashes of numerous fans cosplaying are shown before cutting to a shot of Tala Longshadow defeating Alex Anarchy. This is followed by a shot of the conga line for Jester Funn. The moment passes by and soon, an image of Ethon Von Aaron is shown as he's slapped by Deanna Frost. We then switch to a shot of the crowd, jumping up and down and making noise. The TV screens then static once again.

 

Trevor Cash: "This is madness, Myers. This is like when you have a sugar high, but ten times that."

 

The TV screens come back on, showing the battle between David Miller and Josh Hudson before then showing a shot of Ricky Octavius and Celeste Mallory fighting against Maria Valdvida and Selena Frost. We then see Ricky kicking out at one to a pinning attempt by Valdvida. This then cuts to a shot of Alexis Quinne, dressed as Hisako from Killer Instinct, with the hoards of "zombies" before we see Alexis pinning Brittany Lohan. This then cuts to Alexis in the ring with PUNK HAZARD.

 

Alexis: "One more thing....when it comes down to it, in case anyone ever forgets, remember that Black Saboady Parade, PUNK HAZARD...and the Bay Area will always....and forever be.."

 

The crowd is heard yelling Killing It. However, this is when the sound begins to distort and the TV screens once again static; this time for good. The scene zooms out, revealing downtown San Francisco. People are see walking by, carrying on about their day as the screen focuses on a particular man standing outside a store; Dante McCaffery. Dante is standing outside the store that has all the TV screens with a pair of shades on his face and a cigarette popped in his mouth.

 

We cut to then show Dante McCaffery looking at Alexis Quinne.

 

Quinne: “Dante….”

 

Dante: “It’s over Alexis…”

 

Quinne: “W…why?”

 

Dante: “This is why you went out first. So you couldn’t stop me in ending this.”

 

 Quinne looks stunned as Dante then nails her in the head with a baton of some sort.

 

"Ask DNA" starts to play as we see Dante takes a puff and looks on with contempt. The screen soon turns to a light blue hue.

 

Dante slowly turns away and starts to walk down this street, shuffling himself into the hoards of people. He stuffs his hands inside his pockets. We then cut to another shot of two pairs of feet walking quickly. The shot slowly rises, showing both Kaycee Caprice and Persephone with smirks on their faces. They both look ahead and wink as they continue walking down the street.

 

This cuts to a few shots of some of the famous landmarks in San Francisco such as Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, The AT&T Park where the San Francisco Giants play before finally, a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge.

 

Voice Over; August 13th, 2016, history was made....

 

We cut to a shot of DJ Joel Ortiz DJing as the crowd jump up and down behind him.

 

Voice: It was the night Supreme Championship Wrestling, United Wrestling Alliance, Cartel Nxt Gen and the wrestling world revolved around the Bay Area.

 

We then cut to a shot of Giovanni Aries standing on top on a newspaper stand, causing a scene among those walking on the sidewalks.

 

Giovanni: WHERE IS THE LIZARD KING?

 

As the commotion ensures, we see a shot of Ryan Singer, with his back against a building wall, shaking his head before walking off.

 

Voice Over: And on that night, the stars of tomorrow became superstars of the present....

 

We then see a shot of Ricky Octavius walking out of his locker room, before then seeing a shot of Celeste Mallory doing the same. This is followed by a shot of both Ricky and Celeste receiving a standing ovation after their match last year. We then cut to Ricky Octavius, walking among the crowd of people on the sidewalks.

 

Voice Over: While the established made sure everyone knew they weren't going away without a fight.

 

We then cut to a shot of Selena Frost, walking among the people on the sidewalks as flashes of her performance from last year show up on the scene.

 

Voice Over; World Hazard 2016?

 

We cut to a shot of Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter standing in the ring from last year before we see Cassidy Carter tripping a man, who tumbles forward and falls to the ground, dropping all of his possessions. The shot pans up to see Ace right behind her, laughing as the two then walk past this man. As the man looks on and wonders what happened, the shot reveals Ryan Watson walking right behind him. When Ryan approaches the man, he simply steps over him with a wide smirk on his face. We then cut to a shot of Manvel slapping Ethan Von Aaron from last year.

 

Voice Over: Well....it was one hell of a party....

 

We cut to a shot of Nikki Love, showing up on stage cosplaying as the character Bayonetta from last year. This is followed by a shot of all the PUNK HAZARD members in the ring alongside Manvel, Riku Kuninobu, Marina Valdvida and Ricky Octavius as confetti is seen falling from the rafters.

 

Voice Over: But this year?

 

We cut to a shot of someone with a newspaper in their hands, sitting down on a bench. When they close up the people, it's revealed to be Casey Holiday, sporting a sneer on her face.

 

Voice Over; This year....is going to be a riot!

 

We cut to a shot of Amy Chastine turning the corner and walking down the sidewalk. This is followed by shots of Avarice and Tory Street walking alongside each other, with Maria Prado noticeably walking paces behind. This cuts to a shot of Stacy Kissinger singing with a few elder man on the sidewalk, one of them playing their guitar. She leaves a tip before walking away.

 

Voice Over: Because this year...

 

What's up sweet cakes?

Who's hip anyway?

Earth girls are easy

What you gonna do lil' buckaroo?

(Hey you better ask her nice!)

All you gotta do, happy fool, is ask your mom

 

We cut to a shot of the Hyatt Agency Hotel before then seeing the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We quickly see shots of Toxxin, Ricky Octavius, Selena Frost, Giovanni Aries, Ryan Singer, and all the previous faces all reaching the front of the arena at the same time. as they look around, Dante is seen walking past them, hands still in his pockets.

 

The scene shift to a pair of shoes before drifting up, revealing Alexis Quinne, sporting a black baseball cat with black jeans. We cut back to the night of the initial announcement of the first World Hazard where the PUNK HAZARD members are holding the World Hazard banner in unison before cutting back to the moment Dante betrayed Alexis at Retribution 2017. This then leads to  Alexis, also with her hands in her pockets, walking past the hoards of people. Along the way, we see a quick glimpse of Alexis walking past Siouxsie Blade and Constance Black; the latter walks away once Alexis realizes who it is and turns around. As this happens, we cut back to a shot of Dante walking closer to the arena, a brief glimpse of Cindy Todd is shown.

 

As Dante turns around, now close to the door, we cut to see the reflection of his shades, showcasing all the competitors in view. When Dante takes them off, the only person he sees is Alexis, staring back at him.

 

Voice Over: You're going to have to carry that weight.

 

The scene slowly fades to black.

_________________________________________________________________

"Dreams" by Beck begins to play. We are then taken to the streets of San Francisco as if we were currently moving through a car. However, another car appears and the cars go faster, racing each other. They pass through the Golden Gate Bridge before panning upwards toward the sky, where you see a "blink it and you miss it" shot of the faces of Dante McCaffery and Alexis Quinne. This cuts up to a logo for the World Hazard Festival 2017 with a Matrix esue background.

 

Voice Over: And now, the city of San Francisco, CityCon along with Supreme Championship Wrestling, United Wrestling Alliance and Global Championship Wrestling presents...The World Hazard Festival 2017.

 

This stays on for a while before we cut to inside the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We then hear the loud roar of the crowd is heard as spotlights start to circle the arena. The cameras pan around the arena, showing fan after fan, a lot of them in their costumes and such. We then cut over to the announce table, located to the left side of the ramp, where we're greeted by Franklin Myers and Trevor Cash.

 

Franklin Myers: Last year was a dream; this year is the beginning of an annual tradition. Once again welcome everyone to the second World Hazard Festival, here LIVE in San Francisco, California. And thank you to all of you who is streaming this worldwide on supremecw.com. My name is Franklin Myers and just like last year joining me tonight is Trevor Cash.

 

Trevor Cash: I'm just glad hat you didn't short changed me with the intros again Myers. But yes, World hazard 2017. It's already been a year since last year and the fact that this we're here again, it just shows why the Bay Area right now is the hot bed of pro wrestling. And listen to the crowd! They're lit!

 

Franklin Myers: Indeed they are. We just talked about how last year was a celebration for the community and tonight is certainty that as well, but to say a lot has changed since World Hazard last year would be an understatement.

 

Trevor Cash: Last year, PUNK HAZARD were the ones running the show. But at Retribution, Dante McCaffery turned his back on all of them and one of the reasons  he did was so that he could host this year's show. And now, the main event, him Vs Alexis Quinne and man, you know Alexis Quinne has been waiting for this day for the last five months.

 

Franklin Myers: It is certainty one of the most anticipated matches of the wrestling year but as you mentioned, the party atmosphere is just as big, if not bigger, than last year. Let's kick it real quick to Hyatt Agency where CityCon is currently running.

 

We then see six shots of those at the CityCon convention at the Live Streaming party. We can then see those people from each other cheering once they realize they notice themselves. A slew of them are dressed up and cheering as loud as they can.

 

Cash: Look at them with their costumes. The amount of effort these guys put into it is pretty crazy. They've topped themselves from last year.

 

Myers: And once again we have to thank CityCon for running alongside the all day wrestling that's taken place today. We've seen a massive turnout once again and that's what this show is all about,

 

We then cut back to the arena, where the crowd is starting to jump up and down and chanting along to the beat of Seven Nations Army by the White Strips. About thirty seconds go by of the crowd chanting louder and louder, the camera panning to a select few of fans here and there.

 

Cash: Ha, what more can you say? What can you say, man? They're louder than they were last year!

 

Myers: Everyone's on their feet! These people haven't stopped cheering since the festival started at 9 in the morning. So many people camped out outside the Bill Graham and the Hyatt last night just so they could be the first ones here. And n-

 

Myers is cut off by "In Between" playing over the PA system . The crowd immediately boos as the spotlights begin to flash. We then cut to a camera behind the curtain, where Jack Parker is seen dressed in a World Hazard 2017 t-shirt, blue jeans, a pair of shades on his face and his trademark steel chair in his hands. The crowd boos when they see him, along with Dante McCaffery, Mika Kozlov and Ms. Budde behind him. Jack says something not audible to them before turning around and talking to the camera.

 

Jack: They used to love me. They used to really, really love me! Life comes at you fast huh?

 

Jack shrugs his shoulders as the camera follows his walk out to the ramp. When he finally does, the camera captures him standing on the ramp from behind, looking on as the crowd boos him even louder. The camera then runs in front of Jack, who laughs a bit as he continues to scan the scene.

 

Myers: It looks like we're being greeted here by Jack Parker, former Cartel Nxt Gen World Heavyweight Champion, and do you hear that Cash? The arena right now is one big echo full of boos.

 

Cash: You heard the man. Life comes at you fast. When he started the show last year, the crowd came unglued. But that was with Black Saboady Parade. That was when he was apart of PUNK HAZARD. Dante killed PUNK HAZARD and now Jack is with him. Who knows how long that's been the case but considering how big PUNK HAZARD was here, Dante and Jack might as well be Benedict Arnold.

 

Jack looks around and walks to one side of the stage and begins to motions for the crowd to boo even louder, only irritating the crowd even more. Jack shakes his head and shrugs a bit before he walks back to the middle of the ramp and begins his walk down the ramp. Jack takes his time to stroll down to the ring. Jack stops mid way and looks to his right, looking at a few fans with their middle fingers up to Jack.

 

Jack: Sir, your kid is right there. Your kid is right there and you're giving me the finger? Really?

 

Jack hears the man yells at him as he looks at his daughter.

 

Jack: Tell Daddy that I told him "Go [bleep] yourself." Can you do that for me?

 

The man covers his daughter's ears as Jack soon walks away. Once Jack gets to the steel steps, he takes his time to walk up before finally entering the ring. Jack soon drops his chair down and then proceeds to run around the ring, similar to last crowd, only this time invoking more of a negative reaction. Eventually, Jack stops and grabs his chair that he had dropped on the mat. He then folds it up and then takes a sit, as common with him. His music starts to fade and the crowd only increases with their booing. Jack gets tossed a microphone by one of the staff members standing at ringside. Jack bends down and picks it up as he listens to the crowd letting him have it.

 

Crowd: F*CK YOU JACK! F*UCK YOU JACK! F*UCK YOU JACK! F*CK YOU JACK!

 

Jack sarcastically looks around as if he's confused by the chant. He goes to then bring the microphone up to his lips, but ultimately brings it down as the crowd continues to chant at him. A few moments go by as the chant goes on strongly, mixed in with a few that aren't able to be made out.

 

Cash: This is unreal. Jack can't even speak. And he's loving it!

 

Myers: Jack Parker is a Bay Area native. I remember the first few years of his career here. He's always had a knack for rubbing people the wrong way. And he's always gotten a kick out of that. He lives for this.

 

Jack uses his free hand to motion the crowd to simmer down a bit, with a small smirk on his face. This doesn't end up working, so Jack brings up the microphone to his lips anyways.

 

Jack: Me?

 

The crowd affirms him. Jack then points to himself.

 

Jack: me?

 

The crowd once again affirms him.

 

Jack: Can't be me right? I'm not the Jack you're talking about right?

 

Jack stands up in his chair and looks around the ring before he points to a random fan?

 

Jack: What about this guy?

 

The crowd responds "No" to him. Jack then points to an older fan.

 

Jack: What about Ted Bundy over here? Him?

 

The crowd responds negatively again. Jack then walks around the ring, looking for someone in the crowd before pointing to a young man with a PUNK HAZARD t-shirt.

 

Jack: What about Marty McFly over here? What about him?

 

More boos from the crowd. Jack shakes his hand.

 

Jack: By the way kid, how cute huh? You wearing that shirt. Tell you what Marty, this is what you do. You go back to your Delorean right? You go back in time to earlier today when you decided to put on that shirt, and when you get to that point in time, you take that PUNK HAZARD shirt, you go out in your backyard, you get a trash can, grab yourself a pair of matches, throw that shirt in the trash can and then burn it because...

 

The crowd boos violently as the young man is also caught by the camera booing Jack as well.

 

Jack: PUNK HAZARD is gone and you need to make better life decisions ok? So write that down so you can go back home to your dopey mom and dad, who let you come out here wearing that, and you can come live in the present like the rest of us ok?

 

The young fan is seen yelling at Jack as Jack turns his back to the fan and resumes to sitting down in his chairs. The crowd continues to rain down the boos.

 

Jack: Guys, seriously, seriously you're breaking my heart. Remember all the love you guys gave me last year? What's the problem? Seriously...ANYWAYS, as you all know, I'm your friendly, neighborhood Bastard Son himself Jack Parker....

 

The boo intensify when Jack introduces his name. Jack gives it a minute for the crowd to die down.

 

Jack: And I am the host of this shin-dig. So WELCOME everyone here, everyone at the Hyatt Agency right now and all of you watching at home, legally on supremcw.com and illegally on whatever site that's going to be taken down in like five minutes, to the WORLD HAZARD Festival 2017!

 

The crowd does cheer, although there's still boos being heard throughout.

 

Jack: That's right. World Hazard 2017. Bigger, badder and better than ever. Second year in a row that a part of MY money has been put in the budget for this thing. So all of you telling me to F me, which by the way I have the hottest girl all of you have ever seen in Piper Street that does that...

 

The crowd boos as Jack nods his head.

 

Jack: As much as that hurt me, I'm willing to let all of that slide. At the end of the day, most of us here are one and the same. We're from the same place, you are my fellow people. And I gotta say....damn, this place is packed!

 

The crowd cheers as Jack motions the main camera to pan around the arena from the apron, as everyone stands up and cheers.

 

Jack: Look at all of you with your costumes...you weebs! The tickets for this show, for this one, not the Freestyle wrestling that happened earlier here, not the convention down the street. This show right here, sold out within a single day. Last year it took a week. One day! That's thanks to all you crazies here so you should pat yourselves on the back because...

 

The crowd claps and cheers as Jack pauses.

 

Jack: Because that doesn't happen without all of you. That's why we should be friends. Yeah, remember last year? Was a jolly good time right?

 

The crowd returns to booing. Jack shakes his head.

 

Jack: Well anyways, as you can see, DJ Joel isn't here tonight-

 

The crowd boos as Jack shrugs.

 

Jack: Hey, hey, it's on him. It's on him. But yes, DJ Joel isn't here tonight. So sad. Tragic. And considering the fact that last year he was the DJ, ring announcer, etc, etc, here's what we're doing this year. While you guys could sit here and listen to this lovely voice announce your favorite wrestlers, this year, we're going to rotate it. That's right. We're going to rotate ring announcers. So for every match, you won't hear me every single time-

 

The crowd roars. Jack stops mid-sentence and laughs a bit as he places on hand on his right hip.

 

Jack: Oh you guys like that huh?

 

The crowd roars.

 

Jack: You guys REALLY love that huh?

 

The crowd cheers louder as Jack shakes his head.

 

Jack: Well ho-

 

As Jack is speaking, suddenly, a loud section of the crowd starts to cheer. Soon, the entire arena begins to roar. When the camera get around to the source of the commotion, a hooded figure blast Jack in the head with a running dropkick that takes him out of his chair and onto the ground. The camera whips around a few times to capture the scene but it finally does, revealing Siouxsie Blade with a hoodie and her ring gear underneath and Constance Black!

 

Myers: Siouxsie Blade! Siouxsie Blade! She just kicked Jack Parker's head off his shoulders!

 

Cash: Where the hell did she come from? Her match isn't suppose to be on til later.

 

Myers: She came from the crowd!

 

Cash: Talk about a difference a year makes. Last year she was one of the interviewers! Now she's a brand new woman!

 

The crowd roars as Siouxsie paces back and forth in the ring as Constance pushes Jack Parker out of the ring with her feet. Siouxsie stops briefly and looks at the crowd as they chant loudly.

 

Crowd: Thank you Siouxsie!......Thank You Siouxsie!....Thank You Siouxsie!

 

The camera holds on Siouxsie Blade and the expression on her face as she's seething. Constance Black is then seen whispering something in Siouxsie's ear; the crowd remains extremely vocal. Siouxsie and Constance talk for a bit before Siouxsie takes the microphone and puts it to her list.

 

Siouxsie: Dante!...Dante! I know you're back there! I know you'll listening to me right now! I know you're listening to every damn word that I'm saying right now because World Hazard...no, because right now, I'm the one in control of this f*ucking world!

 

The crowd roars as Siouxsie unzips her hoodie and takes it off. She tosses it outside as she paces back and forth in the ring.

 

Siouxsie: I am not the same little psycho girl that was drooling over you Dante. That Siouxsie Blade that you used is dead and buried. I signed up so I can show you and everyone else that I am no longer going to be that same girl that made jokes and wanted to be funny. You stepped if you stepped in a ring with me Dante that I would rip your head off and that's why you gave me a mystery opponent because you don't have enough f*cking guts to fight me yourself!

 

the crowd roars as Siouxsie bounces off the ropes.

 

Siouxsie: I saw the program and they said my match was Match 2...well, this is MY world and you're going to play by MY rules! And I say we set it off right now!

 

Siouxsie stares directly at the SaboTron while the crowd jumps to their feet and cheer. On the side, you can see a few staff members taking Jack Parker to the back.

 

Siouxsie; You bring the referee and you bring my opponent right now so I can kick their heads off like I just did to Jack or do I need to go back there and drag Mika and Ms Budde out here to get to you?! No matter what you do Dante, I AM the one in control so WHAT are YOU going to do about it?!

 

Siouxsie slams the microphone onto the mat and extends her arms to massive cheers. Constance looks on and nods as Siouxsie is heard yelling at the ramp. The camera soon follows the staff members as they help him to the back. Through the curtains they go, we see a clearly annoyed Dante as Ms Budde is there trying to calm him down. Mika Kozlov stands with her back against the wall, looking on.

 

Dante: What the [bleep] is she doing out there? What the [BLEEP]?

 

Budde; We'll handle it, we'll handle it.

 

Dante: She's [bleep] Match 2. Match 2. She can't read now? What th-

 

Dante bites his tongue and runs a hand through his hair.

 

The staffers bring Jack to the both of them. Dante looks at Jack as he's still a bit groggy.

 

Dante: You alright? You good?

 

Jack holds his head a bit.

 

Jack: I just got kicked in the head from out of nowhere man. I'm not feeling aroused.

 

Dante brushes off the comment.

 

Dante: Whatever. Just go to the back. Shake it off.

 

Jack nods as he, along with the staffers, walk past Dante, Budde and Mika. The shot now focuses on these three as Jack remains in the distance.

 

Dante: What are we going to do? Since she's on her rebellious teenage stage? She's ruining the show.

 

Just then, Mika jumps off the wall with a sly smirk.

 

Mika: She's want her match now? Why not give it to her?

 

The crowd is heard cheering as Budde looks at Dante, still seething.

 

Mika: Besides, you don't want to keep these people waiting.

 

Mika smirks as she walks off. Dante and Budde look at each other. We cut back to the ring, where Siouxsie Blade and Constance are watching this all unfold on the screen.

 

Cash: Wait, wait, what's going on? Is Mika...?

 

Myers: Siouxsie Blade was scheduled to wrestle in Match 2, but she wants to make a statement now. And it looks like she may get her wish?

 

Cash: But who's her opponent? Siouxsie wants Dante but bviously that's not happening. Could it be Mika?

 

Myers: Looks like she's coming out here.

 

On cue, Mika Kozlov soon emerges on the stage to cheers. Mika places her hands on her hip and looks on as Siouxsie and Constance glare at each other on the outside. Siouxsie is seen yelling as Mika slowly walks down the ramp. The crowd anticipates this potential showdown as Mika continues to smile widely.

 

Cash: Mika's got that look in her eye. Everyone's seen that look before. Bad news.

 

Myers: Mika isn't dressed to compete, but she's making her way down to the ring. Mika Kozlov is one of the most dangerous women in the sport. Former IWC World Champion.

 

Cash: Yeah, but the way Siouxsie's looking, she'll fight anybody.

 

Mika continues her saunter down the ring as Siouxsie leans forward on the ropes, waiting for her.  Mika stops around ringside, locking eyes with Siouxsie and Constance. The crowd remains boisterous as the three women stare at each other. Siouxsie is heard yelling at Mika. Mika slowly begins walking to the left side of the ring as Siouxsie starts to follow her. Just then, "Hail to the Chief" plays over the PA system and the crowd soon comes alive! Siouxsie takes a step back, as does Constance as the camera picks up numerous fans in the crowd jumping up to their feet.

 

Myers: That music....That music....

 

Mika smirks as she walks around the ring. Siouxsie soon turns to Constance, he latter mouthing something to her. Meanwhile, the big screen pops up, showing Dante and Ms. Budde outside a room with the door open.

 

Dante: I don't care if you're dressed. Your match is happening right now.

 

Dante and Budde stand by the door for a few moments.

 

Dante: I don't care! I don't care!....Just go to the ring!

 

Dante turns and looks at Budde as he shoves his hands inside his pants' pockets. Just then, we see Dylan Howell, only dressed in grey tailor made suits with dress shoes, show up on the screen. He also has his American inspired jacket in his right hands. The crowd roars.

 

Dylan: Is it ready?

 

Dante: I don't know.

 

Dylan: It's important. I need it!

 

Dante: Just go to the ring!

 

Dylan looks at Dante and Budde before nodding.

 

Dylan: Fine by me. I'm ready!

 

Dylan smirks before walking away, the camera following his walk down to the ring.

 

Dylan: Your President is back! Time to make America Great again!

 

The camera continues to document Dylan as the closer he gets to the ring, the more excited he seems.

 

Myers: It's him. It is him! Dylan Howell is back!

 

Cash: My President is back Frank!

 

Myers: He lost ages ago.

 

Cash: But I voted for him. You think I was really going for either Trump or Hilary?

 

Dylan soon gets close to the Gorilla position. However, instead of walking through the curtains, Howell turns his back to the camera and starts walking away. We cut back to the ring, where Constance Black is now on the apron, watching Siouxsie Blade as she paces back and forth. Siouxsie is seen yelling something that isn't quite audible to the camera. Mika remains at ringside, smirking. The crowd, meanwhile, begins to chant various things not on sync.

 

Myers: Where is he heading?

 

Cash: Who knows. I love the man and I ant him to be the President, but I wouldn't trust him kissing my baby, you know? He's definitely a bit unstable?

 

Myers: A bit?

 

Cash: PC Myers. PC.

 

Siouxsie turns to Mika and yells to her, to which the latter responds by smiling. Finally, the crowd erupts as Siouxsie whips her attention from Mika back to the ramp. When the camera cuts back, we see Dylan Howell being driven from the side of the stage in a red, white and blue trolley. Dylan holds on to one of the rails and waves at the crowd as the trolley eventually reaches the ramp. Dylan soon walks to the other side and waves to the fans by the side of the arena. A different camera reveals what's on this trolley, where are a few messages such as "Dylan Howell/Addy 2020" and "Make American Great Again" and "Where's Addy!"Finally, Dylan hops off the trolley and makes his way to the ramp.

 

Mika: Haha the following contest is scheduled for one fall, malishka. Coming down to the ring, he's from Malibu Beach, California, ladies and gentleman, this is DYLAN HOWELL!

 

The crowd roars as Dylan stops half way and waves at the crowd. He makes his strut down the ring until he slides into the ring. From there, Dylan points to all the fans and plays to them.

 

Crowd: ADDY! ADDY! ADDY! ADDY!

 

Dylan turns his head and looks at the crowd with every mention of Addy. Siouxsie simply stands in the corner where Constance is whispering something in her ear. Dylan soon tosses his jacket as his music starts to fade.

 

Myers: Well, here we go. This was suppose to be Match 2, but because Siouxsie Blade forced the issue, this match is happening right now.

 

Cash: Giovanni Aries and Ryan Singer are going to have to wait just a little bit longer then.

 

The referee looks at both Siouxsie and Dylan at first. Mika is seen slowly walking to the back as Constance Black drops down to the apron. The referee then signals for the bell, officially starting the match. Immediately, Dylan turns to the crowd and plays to them as Siouxsie charges in and drills him with a shot to the side of the head. The crowd actually boos a bit as Siouxsie traps Dylan in the corner and hammers away with right hand after right hand. Dylan tries to cover up, but Siouxsie sees this and starts stomping away at the mid-section of Siouxsie. The referee tries to hold back Siouxsie to which Siouxsie snaps at him. The referee backs away and Siouxsie walks past him to go back to work on Dylan. Dylan, however, fires off a chop and then another chop that stuns Siouxsie. Siouxsie quickly fires back with a hard forearm.

 

Siouxsie: Facing me is the worst mistake you'll ever make you son of a bitch!

 

The crowd oohs as Siouxsie turns and runs to the ropes. Dylan charges just as Siouxsie bounces back and drops her with a Flying Forearm. Both competitors get back to their feet and Howell this time drops Siouxsie with a clothesline. Howell looks at the crowd before he exist the ring and begins scaling up the top turnbuckle. Constance is on the outside, trying to warn Siouxsie as she reaches a vertical base. Siouxsie does and Howell flies off the top and nails Siouxsie with a Missile Dropkick! Siouxsie hits the mat and then rolls to the outside, where Constance is there to tend to her.

 

Myers: Siouxsie is all fired up here but Dylan Howell is using his veteran instinct to get the upper hand. Despite his quirks, he is a very accomplished wrestler.

 

Cash: Former SCW Tag Team Champion. Constance is a former World Champion and Siouxsie is very lucky to have her out here with her. But she's gotta calm down. That's what i would be saying.Dylan hasn't wrestled in how long? There has some rust there. Wear him down. Don't go for the kill right away.

 

Myers: Speaking of Dylan, he's looking like he's ready to move!

 

The crowd claps along with Dylan as he sizes up Siouxsie on the outside. Dylan turns to the crowd, who cheers him on, before he runs to the ropes. He comes back at full speed and goes low, looking for a Baseball Slide. Siouxsie sidesteps and then slides back into the ring. Dylan looks at Constance on the outside before turning back and entering the ring. As Dylan does, Siouxsie runs to the ropes and then clobbers Dylan with a hard clothesline! The crowd oohs as Siouxsie then covers him;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dylan rolls the shoulder at two. Siouxsie glares at the referee before looking back at Howell. Siouxsie gets back to her feet and starts to stomp away at Dylan. Stomp after stomp after stomp Siouxsie goes until the referee backs her up. Siouxsie relents before turning to the crowd and glaring at them, the crowd in response giving her a mixed reaction. Constance instructs Siouxsie on the outside as she leans down and grabs Dylan by the hair.

 

Dylan: Hey! Hey! She's pulling my hair!

 

The referee warns Siouxsie as she delivers a hard right hand that rocks Dylan. Siouxsie then grabs him and whips him to the corner across from her. Siouxsie looks directly at Dylan before sprinting at him full speed, drilling with with a clothesline. Dylan staggers forward and Siouxsie captures him, picking him up and then sending him across the ring with a T-Bone Suplex! The crowd applaud and some boo as Siouxsie goes for another cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dylan kicks out at two.

 

Myers: Impressive power displayed there by Siouxsie Blade. That's always been an underrated aspect of her in ring style. She's very unique in terms of what's in her move set.

 

Cash: And you can see why for years now there's been a lot of wrestling scouts or even managers like myself have been waiting for this awakening of Siouxsie Blade. because you're right, she is unique and she brings a lot to the table. She's only 26 years old so she has a lot of her prime left. let's see how Dylan responds though.

 

Siouxsie looks at Constance before turning her attention back to Dylan. Siouxsie slowly brings Dylan to his feet.

 

Crowd: ADDY! ADDY! ADDY! LET's GO SIOUXSIE! LET's GO SIOUXSIE!

 

Siouxsie briefly acknowledges the dual chants before turning back to Dylan.

 

Siouxsie: Addy's not going to save you! This is my moment!

 

Siouxsie lands a forearm smash, which leads to Dylan springing to life and firing a fierce European uppercut! The crowd oohs as Siouxsie drops to a knee. Dylan takes a few moments to recover before picking up Siouxsie and landing another hard European Uppercut that rocks Siouxsie, but Siouxsie quickly unloads with a hard forearm. Dylan staggers a bit as Siouxsie grabs his head and lands two rapid fire forearms. A small smile creeps on the face of Siouxsie, but not for long as Dylan grabs Siouxsie's head and lands another European Uppercut. Siouxsie is stunned. Howell offers to kick Siouxsie in the mid-section but Siouxsie grabs a hold of it. Howeel responds by using the other leg and kicking her in the back of the head with an Enzigiri. Siouxsie staggers forward as Dylan gets back to his feet and then gets behind her and takes her down with a Back Suplex! The crowd cheers as Siouxsie winces. Howell takes a moment to recovering before scoring a fall;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Siouxsie rolls the shoulder at an early two. Howell rolls over and gets to his feet. Siouxsie starts to stir. Constance looks on outside. Howell turns his head and wait for Siouxsie to reach her feet. Siouxsie does and Howell jumps up and drops her with a Standing Dropkick! Siouxsie hits the mat and then rolls to the outside. Howell looks around at the crowd once more as they cheer him.

 

Myers: back and forth we go here. These two aren't necessarily known for their high flying, but this has been a sprint.

 

Cash: Pace, pace, pace. Remember last year when Tala Longshadow and Alex Anarchy went at it. You always notice with wrestlers when they're the first match that they want to make the biggest statement. They want the others in the back to try to follow them. Especially with something like World Hazard, Siouxsie's a Free Agent. Lots of SCW, UWA and GCW scouts in attendance.

 

Myers: And meanwhile, Howell is looking like he's got something in mind.

 

Howell motions for Siouxsie to reach her feet as he then turns to the crowd and claps. The crowd follow this lead as Howell then turns and starts running to the ropes. Howell comes back and knocks down Siouxsie with a Baseball Slide right to the top of the head. Siouxsie falls down hard as Howell quickly exists the ring and then tosses Siouxsie back inside. Dylan slaps the apron as he then jumps on top and then takes a moment to recover from his previous beating before he starts scaling up the top rope. Howell waits for Siouxsie to reach a vertical base and when she does, Howell jumps off and crashes down on her with with Diving Crossbody. Howell stays on top for the pin;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Siouxsie powers out at two. Howell quickly looks at the ref, who affirms that it was, in fact, a two count. Howell gets back to his feet. Siouxsie starts to stir. Constance Black is heard on the outside yelling for Siouxsie to get up.

 

Dylan: I'm Dylan "Freaking" Howell!

 

The crowd roars as Howell now sports a cocky smirk on his face. When Siouxsie gets up, Howell charges and goes for a Running Kneelift, but Siouxsie ducks and then catches Howell by surprise with a School Boy roll up:

 

1!

 

2!

 

Howell powers out at two. Both get up at the same time. Howell misses with a clothesline and Siouxsie is there to catch him, hugging his waist and then sending him over her head with an Belly to Belly Suplex. The crowd oohs!

 

Myers: What strength bu Siouxsie there! Howell might be two hundred and twenty five pounds and he looks smaller on screen, but Siouxsie Blade is only one hundred and thirty pounds. To pick up a man almost ninety pounds heavier than him and toss him around is impressive.

 

Cash You forget to mention that's one hundred and thirty pounds of muscle. Between now and last year, you can see too that her body has become more muscular. Clearly Constance Black has bee emphasizing that with her.

 

Siouxsie crawls to a cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Howell kicks out at two. Siouxsie snaps at the referee once again. Constance quickly tells Siouxsie to remain focused. Siouxsie then looks at the crowd and signals for the end. She gets up and motions for Howell to reach his feet. Howell starts to stir and crawl towards the ropes. Howell uses the ropes to bring himself back up to his feet. Siouxsie pounces and brings Dylan to the middle of the ring. She drops down with him with his belly on the mat, trying to lock in the Crossface. Dylan swiftly rolls over to block the attempt. When Dylan gets to his feet, Siouxsie is there quickly to meet him with a stiff forearm. Dylan barely stays on his feet as Siouxsie yells to the crowd. The crowd roars in response as Siouxsie turns around, looking for a Discus strike. When Siouxsie's ready to strike, Dylan catches with another powerful European Uppercut that causes Siouxsie to drops to staggers. Dylan then pushes Siouxsie backwards so her back can lean against the ropes and come back to him, which from there, Dylan picks her up and spins her around slams her hard, back first with a Double A Spinebuster. Howell pins Siouxsie;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Siouxsie kicks the shoulder up at two! Dylan slaps the mat a bit in frustration as he looks at the referee. Constance repeatedly slaps on the apron to get Siouxsie's attention. Siouxsie starts to stir as Dylan holds his back for a few seconds before he climbs back up to his feet. Siouxsie reaches out to the ropes but Dylan pulls her away from then and brings her to her feet. Siouxsie soon breaks free and fires off five forearms in succession before smacking Dylan right across the face!

 

Cash: This is starting to get a little heated. Siouxsie's bringing the heat, that's for sure.

 

Myers: Both of these two competitors are trying to find that one thing that puts them ahead. Siouxsie's trying to make a statement; Dylan Howell wants to return to wrestling with a bang.

 

Cash: Hey be careful saying that. David Helms' peps could be listening to this. Trademarks, you know?

 

Siouxsie yells at Dylan as he holds his face.

 

Siouxsie: Come on you son of a bitch! Come on!

 

The crowd fires up as Siouxsie beats her chest a few times. Siouxsie goes to swing again but Dylan ducks behind her an then sends her crashing into the canvas, face first with the Undo Influence! The crowd roars.

 

Myers: Undo Influence. He countered into the Undo Influence!

 

Cash: Here comes the cover!

 

Howell lays on top of Siouxsie for the cover:

 

1!

 

2!

 

Siouxsie rolls the shoulder at two! The crowd oohs as they know how close Dylan came. Constance looks relieved on the outside as Dylan shakes his head for a brief moment as he winces in pain. He holds his face and rubs his neck a few times before he gets to his feet slowly. Dylan looks at the corner across from him and points to it, drawing a positive reaction from the crowd. Dylan soon drags Siouxsie on her feet and then shoves her to the corner. Howell then perches her on the top turnbuckle. Dylan takes a moment to recuperate before he slowly elevates up the turnbuckle. The crowd oohs when he reaches the very top. He grabs a hold of Siouxsie's head. Dylan looks to the crowd for a moment before he leaps onto Siouxsie's shoulders. However, instead of bringing Siouxsie down with him, Siouxsie holds him on her shoulders and uses Dylan's momentum to drive him all the way down back first with a Powerbomb! The crowd erupts as Dylan immediately holds his back in pain. Both competitors are down.

 

Cash: Siouxsie just countered that Huricanarana just as Dylan was about to snap it off. While he was in mid air! Unreal.

 

Myers: Howell likes to call his version of the Top Rope Hurricanara the Great Expectations and he usually transitions that to the Guilty Pleasures German Suplexes. But Siouxsie put a stop to it.

 

The crowd remains on their feet, as Constance is on the outside, urging for Siouxsie to cover Dylan. Dylan remains lifeless as Siouxsie starts to stir. Siouxsie crawls and crawls before she's on top of Dylan. The referee is there to count the fall;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Dylan rolls the shoulder at 2.9! Siouxsie rolls over with a bit of disbelief before gritting her teeth. The crowd continues to be loud and active as Siouxsie lets out another yell to the crowd. Siouxsie slaps the mat a few times before willing herself back up to her feet. She gingerly stands but slowly grabs Dylan and brings him slowly to his feet. She raises her elbow up to the crowd before twisting around and drilling Howell with the Nihilism right to Howell's chest. Howell falls backward sand Siouxsie scrambles to the cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Howell kicks out again! Siouxsie shakes her head and uses the adrenaline of the crowd to quickly get right back up. Howell starts to stir and reahc for the ropes as eventually he grabs a hold of them. Siouxsie is seen sizing him up as Howell struggles to his feet. As Howell is able to get there, Siouxsie charges and drills him with the Running Riot!

 

Myers: Running Riot! Running Riot. It connects!

 

Cash: Same move she used to knock Jack Parker loopy.

 

The crowd roars as Siouxsie then gets on top of Howell and covers;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

Siouxsie rolls off as the bell sounds. Constance smirks before sliding into the ring and joining Siouxsie as “Refuse, Resist” by Sepultura hits the PA system.

 

Mika: And the winner of this match malkishka is Siouxsie Blade!

 

Myers: What a way to kick off this year's World Hazard Festival with Siouxsie Blade, earning the biggest win of her career, against a former SCW Tag Team Champion and a veteran in this sport, Dylan Howell.

 

Cash: The whole theme of this year's show is about taking opportunities. Siouxsie forced the issue, attacked Jack Parker so she can get to her match first and when it was revealed to be Dylan Howell, she took advantage. That's what this show can do for someone. It can put you on the map.

 

Siouxsie is slow to her feet but with the help of Constance, she does. The referee raises up Siouxsie's hand as does Constance. The crowd applauds as Siouxsie soon demands for a microphone. One of the staffers passes her on. Her music starts to fade as Siouxsie grabs the microphone. Meanwhile, the referee tends to Dylan Howell in the background. Siouxsie looks around a bit as crowd looks on. She pants heavily into the microphone, trying to gather her thoughts. Eventually, she does bring the microphone up to her lips.

 

Siouxsie: Refuse....Resist....RECLAIM!

 

Siouxsie slams the microphone as "Refuse and Resist" once again plays on the PA system.

 

Cash: Welp, what more does there need to be said.

 

Myers: Siouxsie Blade with am emphatic statement to the rest of the wrestling world. What a night for this young woman.

 

Constance says a few words to Siouxsie before the two of them exist the ring and begin to head to the back. The camera follows both Siouxsie and Constance as they exist the ramp and through the curtains until they're back in the hallways. From there, we see Siouxsie looking around the hallways, as if she's looking for something.

 

Siouxsie: Where are you Dante? Did you see that? I'm not that girl you knew! Now you know what I'm capable of.

 

Constance is heard laughing as the camera watches them walk away. Meanwhile, we cut back to the ring, where the referee has helped Dylan Howell back up to his feet. Howell holds the back of his head while struggling to remain on his feet. When Sioxusie's music fades, the crowd immediately jumps to their feet and applauds Dylan Howell.

 

Crowd: WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!

 

A few "Addy" chants are heard here and there. Dylan looks at the crowd throughout the whole ordeal.

 

Crowd: YOU'RE OUR PRESIDENT! YOU'RE OUR PRESIDENT! YOU'RE OUR PRESIDENT!

 

Dylan smirks a bit.

 

Dylan: Damn right I am!

 

Dylan smirks as he slowly exists the ring. The referee and a few staffers are there to help Dylan walk to the back.

________________________________________________________________

The camera cut right back to both Franklin Myers and Trevor Cash.

 

Myers: Tremendous level of respect for Dylan Howell. His first match back in a bit. The man is usually one of the most hated, but on this night, he gave it his all. And in front of these people, that's all it takes to earn respect.

 

Cash: He's got a few screws loose up in the head. But his ability in the ring has never been questioned. Big win for Siouxsie Blade to beat a capable vet like him.

 

Just then, we hear "Blow the Whistle' played through the PA systems, drawing a positive response from the Bay Area faithful.

 

Myers: One match in and this year's World Hazard Festival is off to a rocking start. Thank you once again to everyone watching this on supremecw.com. You heard the crowd right now as we hear Bay Arena legend Too Short. You won't hear more passionate, rowdy fans than right here in the Bay.

 

Cash: Bay Area wrestling is starting to pop. Sports here has never been higher with the Warriors winning another championship. This is the place to be.

 

Myers: And this year what's been special is that we've expanded to three nights. Last night, the official start of the World Hazard Festival took place at the Hyatt Regency with the Opening Ceremonies.

 

The World Hazard logo appears on screen before we cut to a few shots of the Hyatt Regency Hotel down the street in San Francisco. We then cut to a shot of several wrestlers on this show entering the hotel. This is followed by a shot of Kaycee Caprice and Persephone of Toxxin, sitting at a table, smiling. We then see a shot of Ricky Octavius and Peyton Rice talking with Justin and Miranda Fields, the co-founders of CityCon. This is followed by a shot of Ryan Watson with his cousin Thomas Valentine, in line to eat.

 

Cash: That's right. You and I got to be apart of this. It was a small gathering of every competitor, announcer, staff member, artist, city official and anyone hosting a panel during CityCon and it was cool be there and seeing this festival growing by the minute.

 

We cut to a shot of Henry Cunningham standing on stage with Dante McCaffery and Justin and Miranda Fields. This is followed by a shot of Dante standing on a podium talking.

 

Myers: Interesting enough, there were two notable people that chose not to attend the Opening Ceremonies. The first being Cindy Todd, who voiced annoyed about being randomly picked by the drawing to compete in the Days of Future's Past. semi-main event tonight. She was expecting, in her words, a bigger challenge.

 

Cash: Cindy Todd had other ideas in mind and obviously there's the connection between her and Dante. Not a woman you want to piss off, that's for sure. But she's suppose to be here tonight. BIG, big match up this year. Six Man Tag this time around. You got Cindy Todd, Stacy Kissinger and as of Rise to Greatness, the NEW SCW World Champion Ace Marshall against Tory Street, Avarice and Maria Prado, one of Cindy Todd's disciples.

 

Myers: HUGE opportunity for Street, Avarice and Prado there, But also, the second person who didn't show up was Alexis Quinne. Considering everything that's happened to Quinne and PUNK HAZARD in the aftermath of what happened five months ago at Retribution, you could see how showing up to an event in which she first thought of would be tough.

 

Cash: She was here earlier at Artist's Alley and I would imagine this whole day has been tough. A year ago, her and PUNK HAZARD were on top of the world. Now she's not only no longer running the show but the city insisted that they didn't want her to do so AND added the fact that the person she thought she could trust in Dante, betrayed her and PUNK HAZARD in order to run this event. That's hard for anyone to deal with.

 

We then cut to a shot of every wrestler on the show standing on the podium, posing. The World Hazard logo re-appears and we cut back to Myers and Cash.

 

Myers: Quinne, while she's beloved in the Bay and has truly emerged as a hero here, has made a lot of enemies here in the Bay and that's based on her past actions and behaviors. With that said, that young lady tonight gets Dante McCaffery one on one and we've already talked-

 

Myers stops as the crowd sings along with the song.

 

PA system: What's my favorite word?

 

Crowd: BITCH!

 

PA system: Why they gotta say it like Short?

 

Crowd; BITCH!

 

Cash is heard laughing as does Myers.

 

Cash: Never fails. That never fails.

 

Myers: Well, we're currently getting a cue to flip it back to the Hyatt Regency hotel, where we have a special interview please. So let's flip to the Hyatt, where we'll be greeted by a young man, from the Bay Area wrestling scene. He's not wrestling tonight but he did earlier today. He qualified for Top 8 earlier but he chose not to participate.

 

Cash: This guy isn't that but he's one of these new guys creeping up in the area. He's every bit of a kamikaze in the ring, using his body as an actual weapon. He's nuts. Remember the name. Anyways Max, take it away.

_________________________________________________________________

We then cut to a live shot inside the Main Hall at the Hyatt Regency, where we see a young man with brown, shoulder length hair, sporting a black and green Hawaiian shirt with a grey tanktop underneath, a pair of shades on his face and khaki shorts. This young man is Max Kane and he's standing on a platform, which the camera pans around the room to see a slew of fans surrounding him. There's also a massive flat screen right behind him.

 

Max: Wow, thanks for the intro Grandpa Dick. Way to make me sound like insert young wrestler number 2500 to the audience. Tell your wife to up the dosage of meds so your brain can move a bit faster. You're pushing it a bit in age. Anyways, as you just heard, Max Kane here at the biggest party of the summer. This is the part where all of you guys make some [bleep] noise.

 

The crowd roars as Max smiles.

 

Max: Yes, yes and you see, yours truly has been assigned to interview duty. Normally you would have some eye candy here, you know some airhead from the street, but luckily, you get eye candy AND a brain.Two for one.  Now you all don't know me yet but that's how every story starts. So don't be lazy and ask for answers. Just watch.

 

Max looks on.

 

Max: Anyways, the reason I'm here. Yes, the person that's about to come up here is, well, I'll let you guys take care of that. So, please welcome Casey Holiday!

 

The crowd's reaction immediately turns negative as the camera pans around to Casey Holiday entering inside the massive hall with four muscle bound securities guards. Casey walks with her nose up as she walks past the fans and the guards swapping down any attempt by anyone to touch her. Casey soon gets on the platform. The boos only intensify as Max is seen laughing. Someone tosses Casey a microphone as she looks around and looks disgusted by the crowd.

 

Casey: You only boo me because you're not me!

 

The boos only increase.

 

Casey: You guys boo me because all of you live miserable lives! You guys spend your life savers just to make little crappy costumes! I'm Pro Wrestling's It girl! These heels cost more than all of you combined!

 

They continue to boo.

 

Casey: Boo yourselves!

 

Max keeps laughing.

 

Max: Casey, Casey, I'm suppose to interview you here. I got a question. Why do you hate Amy Chastaine? I mean, you are obsessed with her, constantly talking trash to her.Luck for you, later you finally get a chance to get your hands on her. No rules, no DQs, nothing. What are you going to do to her?

 

Casey smirks as she ponders the question.

 

Casey: What am I going to do? Simple. i'm going to humiliate her.

 

Casey looks on confidently.

 

Max: As bad as that sex tape that got leaked of you?

 

The crowd oohs and laughs as Casey hisses at the crowd and then at Max.

 

Max: I didn't watch it. I have a girlfriend. I didn't watch it. I know people that did. I mean seriously you were a virgin and then it turned out you play for the other team. Don't get mad at me!

 

Casey: That wasn't me!

 

Max: But didn't you admit that it was? I mean it cl-

 

Casey: Irrelevant! Besides, as I was saying, Amy is an old hag with ugly ass kids. She walks around like she's this victim, this...this person that has overcome so much. Bitch please. Compared to me?  You're nothing. You're just someone who's jealous of me!

 

Casey looks at the crowd.

 

Casey: Just like all these nerds! You will be as good as I am. SCW didn't understand they had a megastar on their roster. They mistreated me, mishandled me, let bitches like BREE LANCHESTER get shots that I deserve. And now I stand before all of you FREE from the SCW bubble and now my own superstar.

 

Casey turns to Max.

 

Casey: And tonight, no rules, no DQ, There Must be a Winner?

 

Casey laughs.

 

Casey: That's the the worst thing you could have done. Because tonight, no one can save you from when I kick your ass all over the Bill Graham. It doesn't matter if it's a steel chair or a kendo stick or even a sledgehammer, anything and everything that I can get my hands on I will USE to make you my bitch!

 

The crowd boos.

 

Casey: I'm the future of pro wrestling Mark.

 

Max: It's Max.

 

Casey looks back at him.

 

Casey: I'm the future of pro wrestling. I'm the one sponsors are falling over their chairs for. People like Tory Street and Toxxin, they're trying to play catch up to me. I don't need to have moments handed to me on a silver platter because I take it. And Amy, tonight, I'm going to take SO much enjoyment in showing you once and for all why you'll never be better than me. And for all the haters both here and in the wrestling world; kiss my ass!

 

Casey slams the microphone and orders her security guards escort her down the platform.

 

Max: But that's...that's what people can see on that sex tape...

 

The crowd oohs as Casey turns around and snaps back at Max.

 

Casey; Not funny!

 

Casey turns back to her guards and starts leaving. The camera follows Casey as she makes sure the guards are protecting them,

 

Casey: Ew! Ew! Don't touch me!

 

Casey looks mortified as she walks away. We cut back to Max.

 

Max: Well, there's that. Max Kane, reporting live.

 

Max takes off his sunglasses and places them on the platform before he takes a step backwards. He then runs and performs a sommersault onto the crowd and they proceed to catch him. The crowd cheers wildly as they prompt him up high while he still has a hold of the mic.

 

Max: Back to you Grandpa Dick!

_________________________________________________________________

We cut back to Trevor Cash and Franklin Myers in the announce booth.

 

Cash: You're not that old, right?

 

Myers: Not as old as he thinks. Kids say the darnest things.

 

Cash: You saying that MAKES you come across as old.

 

As Myers gives a light chuckle, "Relentless" soon hits the PA system to massive cheers. Shortly after, Amy Chastaine steps out through the curtains with her ring gear on and a slew of World Hazard t-shirts in her hands. Amy looks around with a wide smile on her face as she walks to one side of the stage, where she peers out before throwing two shirts towards them. Amy then walks back and then over to the other side of the ring, where she tosses a few more. Amy then walks back to the center of the stage as she soaks in the reaction.

 

Myers: Speaking of Amy Chastaine, here she is! And listen to this reaction. One of the premier talents not just in SCW but in the entire wrestling world. Former Adrenaline, US and World Champion as well as the winner of this year Shot of Adrenaline Tournament.

 

Cash: She's big time. I'll just say it. She's a badass. Forty one years old but isn't slowing down. She's earned that respect.

 

Amy starts walking down the ramp, tossing shirts to both sides of the arena before she pulls out some more from a patch that wasn't shown at first around her waist. Amy is all smiles as she slaps hands with a few fans before she reaches ringside. She walks up the steel steps and takes a moment to look at the crowd. Amy nods before she enters the ring, where a microphone is tossed to her. Her music shortly fades, but the approval from the audience does not.

 

Crowd: AMY! AMY! AMY! AMY!

 

Amy smirks as she turns around and looks at the crowd. She nods before she begins to speak.

 

Amy: How are we doing tonight San Francisco?

 

The crowd roars as Amy smirks.

 

Amy: You guys enjoying yourselves so far?

 

More cheers.

 

Amy: That's good. It's so good to see all of you out here tonight. I remember last year when this event was created and everyone was talking about this show and how it was going to be something unlike anything ever seen in wrestling. The combination of an art and anime convention on top of wrestling, it was ambitious. And I remember coming last year and having an amazing weekend. A lovely experience and being in the crowd last year, watching the action, watching how all of you cheered my name when they mentioned that I was here, all I can say is thank you for your support. So thanks.

 

The crowd applauds as she allows the crowd to respond to her. Amy smiles as they resume chanting her name.

 

Amy: And to be back this year, to see even more people at the convention and more people here this weekend, seeing the passion that all of you have in expressing who you are, I think that's special. And I think, in light unfortunately of the horrendous lack of humanity shown today in Charlottesville, being here this weekend was needed for me having two lovely children at home and being able to show them that unity is possible and it can overcome hate. And-

 

The crowd stops Amy as they stand up and applaud her. Amy pulls down the microphone and looks on as the crowd affirms her.

 

Amy: I mean that. All of you as you celebrate all the comics and video games and wrestling that you love, are showing that love with always be hate. Always.

 

Amy pauses as the crowd cheers. Suddenly, we can hear someone saying "I love you Amy!" that causes Amy to turn to the direction of where that came from.

 

Amy: Who said that?

 

Amy scans the crowd.

 

Amy: Come on, don't tell me you're shy.

 

Eventually, a young, blonde haired woman wearing an Imagine Dragons t-shirt, presumably in her early 20s, is identified. She's sitting close to the front row. Amy turns around and sees the young woman and smiles.

 

Amy: You said that?

 

Amy points to the fan, who nods. She smiles and says something that obviously can't be audible. Amy looks on.

 

Amy: What's your name?

 

Amy looks around.

 

Amy: Is there a way to get her a mic?

 

Amy continues to look around at some of the staffers as a few moments on awkward silence go by.

 

Amy: Anyone? Bueller?

 

Crowd laughs a bit as Amy does as well. One staffer in particular mouths a few words to Amy. Amy responds by shrugging.

 

Amy: Times cues, I guess we can't. Unfortunate. But what's your name?

 

The woman says her name and the fans in front of her collectively yell it to Amy.

 

Amy: I heard Dahlia? Dahlia? Is that it?

 

Cut back to the fan, who nods.

 

Amy: OK, Dahlia. That's a lovely name. Thank you for that. I appreciate that a lot.  And hopefully, as much as this is fun, being out here, I'm on this show for one reason and that's to teach Casey Holiday a lesson..

 

Amy pauses as the crowd cheers.

 

Amy: And to have fun doing it. After everything she's said, even just now, someone needs to shut her up for good. So Dahlia, everyone, I promise you that after tonight, you won't be hearing for her for a good bit.

 

The crowd cheers as Amy walks around the ring.

 

Amy: But that's for later. Is everyone ready for this next match?

 

The crowd cheers and Amy looks on, stroking her chin a bit.

 

Amy: That was good, but I KNOW you guys can get a little bit longer than that. So, once again, are you ready for this match?

 

The crowd cheers louder, drawing a smile on Amy's face.

 

Amy: There we go. Alright, I've done enough talking. Let's get this thing started!

 

The crowd cheers before we hear "Leave You Far Behind" by Lunatic Calm play over the PA system. The SaboTron then displays the matrix esue background and WORLD HAZARD 2017 in the middle with "Press Start" underneath. The crowd starts to clap along as the screen takes us to this year's screen with every wrestler on tonight show, like a fighting game. We see some scrolling go by before two figures are selected. The figures are encompassed with numbers before they slowly form to show a shot of Ryan Signer and Giovanni Aries.

 

Voice Over: Match 1: Ryan Signer Vs Gionvanni Aries!

__________________________________________________________________

 the sounds of rolling dice, the pulling of a slot machine lever, and the bouncing of a roulette ball are heard. The SabroTron flashes sights of a classic casino. The lights dim as soon, Taproot's "Poem" hits the PA system. The crowd gives a modest cheer as we cut to a shot of Ryan Signer, walking down the hallway, making his way to the curtains. Signer locates the camera in front of him and gives a small smile.

 

Signer: Well, it's Showtime.

 

Signer gives a subtle nod and looks generally excited as the camera follow him through the Gorilla position and then through the curtains. When the journeyman wrestler, Singer, walks through the curtains the crowd remains modest in their cheers. Signer places his hands on his hips, soaking in the seen. He raises both his arms up pointing towards the ceiling, before a banner with a giant "Ace of Spaces" drops down to block the entrance. The crowd oohs as he looks at the banner for a couple seconds before spinning back around to start his trek down to the ring. As he makes the trek he tosses what appears to autographed playing cards  with his logo on them in to the crowds.

 

Amy: Introducing first, from apparently the Winner's Table, he is a long time veteran of this sport and is now by some as the Ace of Spades and the Fortune Hunter, weighing in at 240 pounds, please welcome at this time, RYAN SIIINGER!

 

The crowd cheers as Ryan slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. He quickly hops up to his feet as his music starts to die down and looks out at the crowd. The crowd is respectful with their cheers as he retires to his corner of choice.

 

Myers: Here's a man, who as he will admit himself, has made a career of being a journeyman. Ryan Signer. He's been a successful wrestler whenever he's gone and his career has spanned on for a good but. He's 40 years old, but as you can see, he's in tremendous shape.

 

Cash: He's not well known, but within the wrestling business, people have crossed his path once or twice. He's never stuck to a particular place, but like you said, he's a steady wrestler.

 

Myers: And earlier today too, he stopped by doing the Freestyle Wrestling and passed some knowledge by to the local talent. A kind gesture on his hand to do that without being asked. But right now, he's in for a battle against one of the hottest wrestlers right now.

 

Signer looks on while the crowd immediately begins to make some noise; cheering on the man who's coming next.

 

Crowd: GIO ARIES....GIO ARIES.....GIO ARIES....

 

Signer looks on as soon, "Mad Hatter" by Melanie Matinez begins to play. The crowd roars as the stage dim. Quickly, the lights begin to flash rainbow colored strobe lighting as Giovanni Aries steps out from behind the curtain as Sam his manager is in tow to massive cheers. Giovanni Aries has on a white rabbit esue pelt fur jacket on while wearing Oracle sunglasses as Sam sports a black Fedora on her hat and a black pinstripe jacket. Giovanni Aries takes a few steps and then sits down Indian style in the middle of stage. He sits there and looks around the arena and begins to laugh hysterically before Sam walks over and pulls out a LSD laced cigarette and lighter out of her cleavage and hands it to Giovanni Aries. He lights the cigarette and takes a long deep drag before slowly standing up and walking to the ring. Giovanni walks to one side of the ramp and extends his arms, the crowd positioning themselves behind Giovanni. Giovanni smiles widely as he walks back to the center and starts walking down to the ring.

 

Amy: And...the second opponent, coming to the ring with his manager Sam. From Black Rock Desert, Nevada, he's weighing at two hundred and twenty three pounds, this is GIOVANIIII...ARRRRIES!

 

The crowd roars as Giovanni stops in the middle of the ring, playing to the crowd. The camera shoots from the ring, capturing Ryan Signer watching Giovanni Aries on the ramp with Sam, coming down to the ring. Back to Giovanni, he looks at some of the fans at the front row and uses his cigarette and takes a drag and blows it in ringside fans face as begins to laugh hysterically again. Sam laughs with him as Giovanni soon walks past them and then jumps on the apron. Giovanni turns to the crowd and counts down to 3, 2, 1..

 

Crowd: FOLLOW ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!

 

He laughs hysterically before he enters the ring. Giovanni walks around the ring and yells at the crowd before he walks to the middle of the ring and throws his arms out, making a cross while looking at the sky. Sam is on the outside, cheering Giovanni on.

 

Cash: This guy...he's on something. Probably literally, but you can't lie. The man is popular here.

 

Myers: Giovanni Aries is differently an unique individual. He was in SCW around 2010 and ended up leaving, but he's apparently found this "Wonderland" he's been offering to everyone and whatever that is, he's been on a tear since coming back.

 

Cash: He was at the Hyatt earlier, offering it to people. I saw it with my own two eyes. It was crazy. I'm slightly worried that people actually accepted because any idea that potentially requires you to be not in your right mind, probably isn't the bets option. But this a match and this is an interesting one. Singer is the latter stage of his career, looking to score a nice win and Aries, still young, still 26 but he's hitting his stride.

 

Giovanni goes to his corner and allows Sam to remove his ring jacket. Amy Chastine soon exists the ring as the referee stands forward, looking at both Giovanni and Ryan before signaling for the bell. The crowd roars as the crowd immediately cheers for Giovanni.

 

Crowd: GIO! GIO! GIO! GIO!

 

Giovanni smiles as Signer looks around, not upset, but looking very confused. Signer moves out of his corner and moves around a bit as Giovanni merely soaks in the reaction he's getting. Signer chuckles a bit at the crowd with their chants before he motions for Giovanni to engage with him. Giovanni doesn't answer and just chooses to jump on the top turnbuckle and leads the crowd in their cheers, almost like an "conductor." Sam looks on and follows along with Giovanni as they lead on the crowd.

 

Giovanni: Who wants to go to wonderland?!

 

The crowd roars as Giovanni nods. He smiles widely before he turns his attention to Ryan Signer before he points towards him.

 

Giovanni: Do you know where he is?

 

Signer gives Giovanni a confused expression as Giovanni persists.

 

Giovanni: Where is he? Where's the Lizard King?

 

The crowd grasp as Signer just laughs and just motions for him to fight him. Giovanni jumps down to the mat and points fiercely at Signer. Giovanni and Ryan circle the ring before they tie up. Both men struggle for position but quickly Ryan gets a side headlock onto Giovanni. Giovanni grabs a hold of Ryan's hair but the referee warns him and Giovanni lets go for a moment. Ryan wrenches in the hold before Giovanni back peddles and uses the ropes to send Ryan across the ring. Ryan bounces off the ropes and hits Giovanni with his shoulder. Giovanni staggers backwards to the ropes and uses them as leverage to come back with a shoulder block of his own. Ryan staggers, but he also moves to the ropes and bounces off them. He comes back and hits another shoulder block on Giovanni. Giovanni staggers but stays on his feet. He smirks and extends his arms a bit.

 

Giovanni: Is that the best you can do?

 

Ryan glares at Giovanni and laughs as Giovanni turns to the crowd, pandering to them a bit. Sam is on the outside, cheering as Giovanni looks at Ryan and circles the ring with him. The two tie up in the ring and this time, it's Giovanni that scores a side headlock. Giovanni yells to the crowd as he wrenches in the hold. Ryan reaches up and grabs a hold of Giovanni's hair. Giovanni quickly shouts at the referee as Ryan grabs a brief hold.

 

Giovanni: Ref! Ref! He's got my hair! Get him off!

 

The crowd laughs a bit as Ryan shrugs a bit. Giovanni lands an elbow to the mid-section of Ryan, followed by another one. Giovanni eventually pushes Ryan forward to the ropes, but Ryan comes back and takes him down hard with a shoulder block, sending Giovanni to the ground. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction as he stares down at Giovanni. Ryan then turns to the ropes and Giovanni turns and flops to his stomach. Ryan runs back and leaps over Giovanni. Giovanni jumps back up to his feet and throws a clothesline. Ryan ducks the clothesline and runs to the other set of ropes. Sam yells for Giovanni to turn around and when he does, Ryan comes back and takes him down again with a shoulder block. Giovanni hits the mat and retreats to the corner.

 

Myers: Early advantage going to Ryan, using his power here.

 

Cash: There's also some quickness there. Not blinding speed, but his ability to shift his lateral quickness. Tell you what, I know most 40 year olds wish they could move around like he can.

 

Ryan stalks Giovanni in the corner. Ryan places a stomp to the mid-section and then lands another one. Ryan grabs Giovanni and then whips him to the corner across the ring. Ryan looks at the corner and is prepared to charge but Sam jumps on the apron. Ryan turns towards her and Sam sticks out her tongue out at him. Ryan is distracted as Sam then drops down to the floor. As this is happening, Giovanni charges across the ring and then nails Ryan with a Helluva Kick! The crowd oohs as Ryan hits the mat and then rolls to the outside. Some of the crowd boos Giovanni, but this doesn't stop him in any way as he motions for Ryan to get to his feet. As Ryan struggles to get his barrings, Giovanni runs to the ropes and comes back, soaring through the middle rope and onto Ryan with a Suicide Dive! Sam celebrates on the other side of the ring as Giovanni quickly stands up and then climbs on top of the guardrail, yelling to the crowd. The majority cheer, though some boos are mixed in.

 

Cash: Suicide Dive! Giovanni got the jump on Signer there.

 

Myers: Sam had a huge assist with that as well.

 

Cash: Hey that's what a manager is potentially there for. It's not the most honorable way but people like Giovanni Aries don't care about that type of stuff so it's all thrown out the window.

 

Giovanni jumps off the guardrail and picks up Signer before tossing him inside the ring. Giovanni slides in and scores the first pin of the night;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ryan kicks out at two. Giovanni rolls off of Ryan and then gets to his feet. Signer starts to stir as Giovanni stomps the small of Signer's back. He then stomps him again and then a few more times. Giovanni smiles as he slowly brings Signer to a vertical base. He wraps his arm around him and he tries to lift him up for a suplex. Ryan blocks him and Giovanni gives a look of worry. Giovanni however tries to lift him up again and actually manages to get Ryan up in the air. The crowd oohs as Ryan wiggles his way from up in the air to his two feet are back on the ground. He then easily elevates Giovanni up in the air and holds him in the air. Giovanni is heard yelling, trying to break free to a few laughs from the crowd. Ryan keeps Giovanni in the air enough for the crowd to begin counting down. Ryan manages to keep Giovanni in the air for about twenty seconds to which the crowd stands up and starts to applaud before The Ace of Spades drops him down with a Suplex. Giovanni winces in pain as Signer goes and covers Aries;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Giovanni rolls the shoulder at two. Ryan looks at the referee before he gets to a vertical base. Signer watches as Giovanni starts to stir before he picks him p. Ryan lands a hard right hand that stuns Giovanni. Signer goes to follow up but Giovanni catches him by surprise by raking him in the eyes. Signer is blinded for a brief moment. Giovanni grabs a hold of Signer and whips him to the ropes, but Signer reverses. Giovanni runs back and Signer picks him up and then drops him with the Powerslam. The crowd cheers as Signer pins Giovanni;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Aries kicks out at two.

 

Cash: Two count. Giovanni's trying to use anything he can to get control of this match, but Ryan's being really selective with his moves.

 

Myers: Adding a little showmanship too. The stalling vertical suplex, the Powerslam. All displays of power and athleticism.

 

Sam is seen on the outside, slapping on the apron as Giovanni starts to stir. Signer gets to his feet and then slowly brings Giovanni back up to his feet. Ryan lands a right hand that stuns Giovanni before landing another one. Signer then goes to whip Giovanni but the younger man reverses by twirling the arm and then catching Signer off guard with a thumb to the eye. Interesting enough, the crowd begins to boo before Giovanni runs to the ropes and then nailing Signer with a Running Knee. Giovanni turns and yells at the crowd, who in turns begin to boo him. Giovanni looks surprised, but responds by dropping down to a knee and then raining in right hands onto Signer. Signer tries to cover up and eventually Giovanni relents. Unfortunately for Signer, Giovanni grabs him and rest his head on the middle rope, where he uses his knee to push him against it, choking him. The referee is right there to count down;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Giovanni lets go and Sam jumps on the apron.

 

Sam: He can count you dumbass!

 

The crowd boos as Sam turns around and yells at them. Giovanni ignores the crowd before he picks up Signer and then lifts him up and then down with a suplex. Giovanni leaps up to his feet and taunts the crowd, drawing boos before he picks up Signer once again. Giovanni hysterically looks at the crowd before he lifts up Signer once more and then drops him with another suplex. Giovanni gets to one knee and then motions for one more.

 

Giovanni: One more time!

 

The crowd boos, though some still cheer as Giovanni quickly picks up Signer. He wraps Signer's arm around his neck before lifting him up and then slams him down with a suplex. Giovanni then quickly gets a cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Signer rolls the shoulder.

 

Myers: A little of showmanship from Giovanni Aries himself. He struggled to suplex the more heavier Signer earlier but he just snapped off three suplexes right there.

 

Cash: He's a bit odd in the ring. He can fly, but he's not really a flier. He can hit, but not really a striker. Like Siouxsie, he's hard to prepare for, especially now with his new personality.

 

Signer starts to stir as Giovanni gets back to his feet. Sam is smiling as Giovanni turns his attention to Signer. Giovanni grabs Ryan by the hair and smirks as he mouths a few things to him.

 

Giovanni: Welcome to wonderland!

 

Giovanni laughs as he whips Signer to the corner. Giovanni runs straight ahead, but Signer elbows him to the side of the head. Giovanni stumbles a bit but regains his footing and he charges again. Signer lands another side elbow that rocks Giovanni. Signer gets out of the corner and lands a right hand, to a few cheers. He then lands another right hand. Giovanni counters with a right hand of his own and then a chop. Crowd woos. Giovanni then runs to the ropes and Signer scoops up and then slams him down with a Sidewalk Slam! The crowd cheers as Signer remains on the mat for a bit, but does eventually crawl and cover Giovanni;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Giovanni kicks out at two.

 

Myers: Big sidewalk slam there by Ryan Signer. Giovanni Aries has been on him relentlessly but Signer is using his veteran experience.

 

Cash: Match is still up for grabs but you're right. Giovanni is almost erratic in his movements and decisions while Signer has been a bit more strategic in order to fight back. He knows he's stronger than Giovanni and so he's been flexing with the power moves.

 

Signer gets to a seated position and looks at the crowd before he motions for them to clap. The crowd responds accordingly as he gets back to his feet and brings Giovanni back up to his. Signer whips Giovanni across to the corner. Signer backs up to his corner and continues to motion for the crowd to clap along. Signer charges straight away, but he ends up missing a clothesline and hits the corner chest first. Giovanni sprints to the ropes and jumps off the second ropes. He springboards off of it and then twist in the air, blasting Signer in the side of his head with a Springboard Spinning Back Elbow. The crowd oohs and some cheer as Giovanni then goes for a pin;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Signer kicks out at two. Sam is heard on the outside screaming at the referee. Giovanni turns to Sam and motions for her to calm down. Giovanni holds his back for a bit before he gets back to his feet. Giovanni proceeds to kick Signer a few times on the top of his head, followed by a smack.The crowd boos as Giovanni smirks. Signer is up to his knees and Giovanni is the one to pull him back up. He underhooks his arms and attempts the Bad Trip but Signer twirls his arm to get out of it. Holding on to his wrist, Signer tries to bring Giovanni to him with a clothesline but Giovanni ducks. Giovanni hooks one arm and places his other on Signer's tights. The Ace of Spades tries to fight out of the predicament but Giovanni manages to lift him up and down on his head with a Half Nelson Suplex. The crowd oohs as Giovanni scrambles to a pin;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Signer rolls the shoulder at two.The crowd cheers and Giovanni sports a look of frustration.

 

Myers: Giovanni Aries thought that was a three count. That Half Nelson Suplex was on point but Signer manages to get the shoulder up in time.

 

Cash: I'm sure Giovanni wanted that to be over. But he's starting to open up his arsenal. He's pulling out the big stuff and he didn't get the pin here but he's getting closer to putting Signer away.

 

Myers: Signer is resilient. You don't get to be in this business for as long as he has if you aren't. He's going to have to weather the storm if he's going to get out of this though.

 

Giovanni is seen talking to himself a bit before he turns back to Signer and locks in a chin lock. Signer tries to pry Giovanni's fingers off of his chin, but he's unable to do so. Giovanni drops his hands so they're right around his neck; the referee is there to make sure it's not a choke. The crowd claps in support of Signer as he attempts to squirm his way out of the hold. Giovanni's grip remains firm and he wrenches it back a bit more. Signer attempts to turn his body to loosen the leverage Giovanni has however Giovanni remains in the control. The crowd cheers on for Signer as Sam shakes her head on the outside. Eventually, Signer manages to turn his body to the side, causing Giovanni to shake his head frantically. Signer gets to a knee and finally, up to his feet. He lands an elbow to the gut of Giovanni, but this only leads to Giovanni clubbing the back of Signer multiple times. Signer falls back down to a knee and Giovanni yells to the crowd. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction. Giovanni looks at Ryan before he runs to the ropes. When he runs back, Signer quickly recovers and strikes him with a hard clothesline! Giovanni hits the mat and Signer takes a moment to regather.

 

Cash: Man did you hear that clothesline? He hit him flush, no pun intended.

 

Myers: Signer using that power advantage and he needed that clothesline at that time. Giovanni is down, but Signer's taken some punishment. Let's see who can take advantage here.

 

Signer holds the back of his head as Giovanni starts to stir. Signer does manage to stand upright and looks at the crowd as they cheer. Giovanni is slow to his feet but he does. Signer takes him down with another clothesline. Giovanni gets back up and Signer takes him down again with a clothesline. Giovanni scrambles on the ground and Signer is quick to jump on him. Signer brings Giovanni up and whips him across the ring. As Giovanni stands in the corner, Signer takes a moment to recover before charging in, nailing Giovanni with a clothesline. Giovanni staggers forward, leading Signer to turn Giovanni around and hook the arm before lifting him up and slamming him down with a Full Nelson Slam! The crowd cheers as Signer hooks the leg;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Giovanni rolls the shoulder at two. Signer remains determined, however he's slowly to his feet. He's seen panting just a bit. Giovanni starts to stir. Signer goes to Giovanni, who breaks free and lands a hard right hand that stuns Signer. Giovanni then leans Signer against the ropes and whips him across but Signer reverses and sends him across. Giovanni runs back and slides underneath Signer. When Signer turns around, Giovanni grabs his head and brings him down into a Small Package. Referee is there to make a count;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Giovanni rolls over and then somehow stands up with Signer lifted up. The crowd oohs as quickly Giovanni sends him crashing down with an suplex! The crowd applauds and some boo as Giovanni goes to another cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Signer rolls the shoulder.

 

Myers: Signer kicks out at two. Giovanni Aires, like you mentioned before Trevor, showing off that unique style that he brings to the table.

 

Cash: We've been talking about Signer having the power advantage and using that to aid him. Hmph, Giovanni was like "watch this."

 

Giovanni briefly argues with the count before making a throat slash gesture to the crowd. Giovanni then regains a vertical base and picks up Signer. Giovanni tries to hooks the arms again but Signer shoves him away. Giovanni uses the distance created to spin around and deck Signer in the side of the head with a forearm smash. Signer staggers on her feet and Giovanni continues the onslaught with another discus forearm smash. Signer staggers back to the corner and Giovanni hen kicks out his legs and causes him to be seated in the corner. Giovanni runs across the ring and yells at the crowd before charging full swing and cannon balls himself right onto Signer. Giovanni drags him across the ring and covers him;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Signer rolls the shoulder at two! Giovanni and Sam both yell at the referee as the crowd cheers. Giovanni shakes his head before he rolls from the rolls to the apron. Giovanni stands up and scales up the top rope. The crowd jumps to their feet as Giovanni sizes up Signer, who's just about close to back on his feet. Giovanni jumps off, looking for the Rabbit Hole but Signer sidesteps. Giovanni lands on his feet and when he turns around, Signer lands a clothesline that turns Giovanni inside out. Sam looks horrified on the outside as Signer goes for a cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Giovanni kicks out at two!

 

Cash: Ooh that was close. So close.

 

Myers: Another huge clothesline by Ryan Signer connects and he almost got the win there. He's taken a lot of damage though and as you can see, he's slow to followup with anything else.

 

Signer holds the back of his head as he brings himself up to his feet. Giovanni stirs in the ring. Signer motions for Giovanni to get up as he sizes him up. Giovanni is slow to his feet but he gets there. Signer quickly puts him on his shoulder but Giovanni slips behind him. Giovanni wraps his arms around his waist, perhaps signaling for a German Suplex. Signer keeps his feet on the math, hitting elbows to the side of Giovanni's head to break free. Giovanni staggers, but then comes back with a pump kick that stuns Signer. Giovanni yells at the crowd before he goes for another Discus strike but Signer catches him with with stiff forearm smash himself that causes some spit to fly from Giovanni. Signer then traps one of Giovanni's arms behind his back and then lifts him up on his shoulders and then down hard with the Jack Pot Driver! The crowd oohs as Signer then quickly transitions to picking Giovanni back up and then lifting him up and then as he drops him, he kicks him square in the head!

 

Cash: Russian Roulette! It connects.

 

Myers: Got it perfectly too!

 

The crowd cheers as Signer covers;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

"Poem" hits the PA system as Signer rolls off and throws his arms up in celebration.

 

Amy: The winner of this match....Ryan Signer!

 

Signer holds the back of his head as he's slow to his feet. The crowd applauds as soon the referee helps Signer get up before he raises his arm in the air. The crowd cheers as Sam slides into the ring, checking on Giovanni Aries.

 

Myers: Ryan Signer with a bit of an upset and scores an impressive victory against Giovanni Aries.

 

Cash And it's weird to call him an underdog considering how many years he's been wrestling. But Aries was the favorite and the journeyman wrestler as he calls himself proved he can still compete with anyone in this business.

 

Signer looks at the crowd before walking up to a nearby corner and raising his arms in victory. Signer nods to the crowd before jumping off and existing the ring. Meanwhile, Giovanni Aries slaps the mat in frustration a bit before he's helped up by Sam. The two of them look at the crowd, now with Signer's music beginning to fade. The crowd gives Giovanni a mixed reaction as Giovanni holds the back of his head. G

 

Crowd: LET'S GO! DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE! LET'S GO! DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE! LET's GO! DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE!

 

The crowd continues to cheer this. Instead of a smile, a scowl grows on the face of Giovanni, who waves off the crowd. The crowd then proceeds to boo as he and Sam exist the ring and head to the back.

__________________________________________________________________

We cut back to both Trevor Cash and Franklin Myers at the booth. The PA system begins to play "Humble" by Kendrick Lamar to cheers.

 

Cash: Looks like Giovanni isn't going to take anyone to Wonderland.

 

Myers: That seems to be the case.  And considering what Wonderland appears to be, that's a good thing. But yes, a great win for Ryan Signer, a gusty performance too. He was the slower man and the elder statesmen. In fact, he and ironically Amy Chasatine, are the two oldest competitors that will compete tonight. And yet, he used his experience to pull out a victory.

 

Cash: Like I said, it was an impressive performance. Same goes to Giovanni Aries too. I mean he didn't make it easy for Ryan either. But yeah, two matches in, I'm only getting warmed up. This crowd is only warming up.

 

We then cut to a shot of four trophies, lined up side by side to the left side of the stage. Standing in front of them is Mika Kozlov, who mockingly showcases them all with her hand gestures.

 

Myers: And there you see the four trophies these competitors tonight can potentially win tonight. If you recall, last year, at the end of the show, these awards were handed to Maria Valdvida for Best Performance, Ricky Octavius for Fighting Spirit, Riku Kinonobu for Breakout Star and Manvel for Most Popular. This year, the awards will be handed out tomorrow night during the Closing Ceremonies at the Grand Hyatt to complete Night 3 of World Hazard.

 

Cash: Which gives these guys even more incentive to put on a show. Yes, this show is about putting forth the best action from all the major companies in wrestling here in the Bay and yes this is a festival,but for people like Ryan Signer, like the tag team Toxxin later tonight, this is a potential platform for these guys to put themselves on the map. You saw the performance of Celeste Mallory and what she did afterwards. We saw the return of Josh Hudson and now he's back and better than ever in SCW.

 

Myers: And once again, we have the honor to be the judges to determine who wins which award and this year, to replace Siouxsie Blade, Ms. Hannah Budde is also judging everyone's performances as well.

 

Crowd: MY LEFT STROKE JUST WENT VIRAL!

 

Myers is cut off as laughs as the crowd signs along with the song.

 

Myers: Two matches in. We're off to a fast pace. This is what everyone expected. Last year's show set a trend and this year, it's already looking like we're about to raise the bar even more.

 

Cash: We got some good action on the way. This next match, interesting to say the left. Cassidy Carter, not Eve like last year, but Cassidy Carter against Ryan Watson, who hasn't wrestled in a long time.

 

Myers: You talk about two expressive, outspoken personalities, these two are unafraid to speak their minds. These two are two of the most boldest wrestlers in the business and seeing these two collide, you know something explosive is doing to happen.

 

Cash: And we don't have to talk about it because we're about to set it off right now. Let's do this!

__________________________________________________________________

"Suck My Kiss" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers plays over the PA system as we turn to the SaboTron once more. The World Hazard graphic shows up on the screen before we're shown the screen with all the icons of the wrestlers together. A few seconds of scrolling goes by before it selects Ryan Watson and Cassidy Carter. Their stills are then plastered on the screen.

 

Voice Over: Match 3: Cassidy Carter Vs Ryan Watson!

__________________________________________________________________

The crowd applauds shortly after we cut back to the ring. A camera pans around to showcase some of the fans, who are on their feet.

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

 

The crowd roars as the stage flashes black and white lighting. "What I Believe" by Skillet blares over the PA system and quickly, Selena Frost makes a triumphant entry to the middle of the stage. The crowd cheers when they see her cosplaying as the superhero Supergirl. Equipped with the costume and cape, Selena places her hand son her hips as she smiles widely.

 

Myers: And look who's joining us here. Selena Frost, the new number one contender to the SCW World Heavyweight Champion.

 

Cash: And ironically, the new World Heavyweight Champion Ace Marshall's wife is going to be competing in a few seconds. And Selena's going to announce her to the ring.

 

Myers: That, to me, doesn't sound like a coincidence.

 

Cash: You think? Anyways, look at what she's dressed as. She's out here like Supergirl. Last year she competed in two matches and truly embraced the essence of this event. Earlier today, she hosted her own panel, something that was offered to her by the co-runners of CityCon, Justin and Miranda Fields and that smile hasn't left her face all day.

 

Selena walks down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans and spending time saying brief words to a few of the children in the front row. Selena soon makes her way to ringside and she walks to her left. She walks up the steel steps and then enters the ring. Selena waves to the crowd and they respond by cheering her. Selena slowly walks around the ring before motioning for one of the staffers at ringside to hand her a microphone. Selena's music fades and the crowd increases the volume of their cheers. Selena looks around and blushes a bit.

 

Crowd: SuperFrost! SuperFrost! SuperFrost! SuperFrost!

 

Selena is seen laughing as she surveys the scene.

 

Selena: You guys, you guys...you're making me blush! Come on...

 

Selena giggles a bit, which allows the crowd to continue chanting "SuperFrost" to her.

 

Selena: So I take it you guys like the costume? Yeah?

 

The crowd roars.

 

Selena: Funny enough, funny enough, this wan't even my costume. When I got here, I had a Doctor Who costume. I made it myself, I spent hours crafting it after Rise to Greatness..

 

Selena is then cut off by a fan,

 

Fan: Which one?

 

Selena looks around as the crowd cheers. She laughs shortly after.

 

Selena: The Fourth! Whoever said that, I was the Fourth Doctor.

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Selena: I decided to keep it classic. Old school. Anyways so I get here, as Doctor Who because I got the chance to host a contest for the Best Costume and I felt I had to dress the part. Anyways, before this show, my wife was like "it would be way cooler if you took my costume and I wore yours." And she was wearing this Supergirl costume and so...you know, I was personally fitted for this costume.

 

The crowd oohs and cheers as Selena gives the crowd a coy smile.

 

Selena: Obviously I can't give you all the details as to how that went but,in seriousness, it's so good to see you guys out here. It's so good to see all of your faces, all of you in your costumes, all of the kids here with their cool costumes..it's so good seeing all of you. And last year, I said I needed this event because personally, I didn't something in this business to make me smile again.I have to deal with people who question my character, day in and day out and honestly it becomes very draining. I said I wanted my smile back and after this show last year, I did. And I thank every single one of you for doing that.

 

The crowd cheers as Selena nods.

 

Selena: And so, this year, when I heard there was another event coming, I couldn't resist. I had to be here. There's been a lot of talk about how passionate the Bay Area is about wrestling, about culture, about art. And once again today, when I was hosting my cosplay contest, I saw the love that each of you have for this festival and for your community. So everyone, give yourselves a round of applauder for being one of the best wrestling crowds in the world.

 

The crowd cheers and claps as Selena looks on.

 

Selena: Now before we get to this next match, do you remember last year, do you remember when one lucky kid was given the chance to ring the bell to start off a match? Which by the way, I don't know where she's at, but Lily is here..

 

The crowd roars as Selena smiles.

 

Selena: She's the cutest thing I tell you. But, right now, one of you get to experience what she did last year. So, who's it going to be?

 

Selena looks around at the crowd as numerous parents begin to lobby for their kids to be picked. The camera pans around, showing parents as they eagerly volunteer their kid to be picked. Selena exists the ring and paces around ringside, peering out to the crowd. Selena walks around a bit, looking around. Finally, Selena points to a young boy, dressed as Raphael from the Ninja Turtles.

 

Selena: I'm going to go with you.

 

The kid's mom and dad looks ecstatic as the kid also gets really excited. Selena motions for one of the security guards to come right by her.

 

Selena: Yeah, you. Don't be shy. Come on.

 

The crowd cheers as the kid is then picked up by the security guard and is then brought to ringside. The crowd cheers as Selena grabs the kid by the hand and walks him up the steel steps until they're both in the ring. Selena gets down to one knee and looks at the kid. The kid looks wide eyed as he looks out at the crowd.

 

Selena: Hi! Hey buddy...hey, hey. How are you?

 

The kid looks a bit shy before he turns to his mom. The crowd is supportive as a camera pans over to his parents, mouthing their support for their child.

 

Selena: Don't be shy buddy. I'm here for you. So is everyone out here too. We're all here for you buddy.

 

The kid tries to hide his face, which causes the crowd to laugh. Selena chuckles as well, holding on to his hand.

 

Selena: Aww, buddy. Hey, what's your name? My name is Selena. What's yours?

 

The kid turns his head back to his parents, who encourages him to speak. The kid turns back around.

 

Kid: D-Dylan.

 

The crowd roars as Dylan smiles shortly after,

 

Crowd: DYLAN! DYLAN! DYLAN! DYLAN!

 

Selena adds on to the chant. Dylan is seen smiling and looking on still wide eyed.

 

Selena: Well, Dylan, nice to meet you. I love this costume you got here. This looks awesome. I take it you're a fan of the Ninja Turtles?

 

Dylan nods his head.

 

Selena: Awesome. My favorite was Donatello but clearly, Raphael is your favorite. Is that correct?

 

Selena holds the mic for Dylan.

 

Dylan: Yea.

 

Selena: Sweet. That's cool. Now, are you a wrestling fan?

 

Dylan nods his head.

 

Dylan: Yes.

 

Selena: Nice. now, can I ask you, who's your favorite wrestler?

 

Dylan looks around as he crowd yells out suggestions. Dylan looks to his right and then to his left before he speaks into the microphone.

 

Dylan: Tommy Valentine.

 

The crowd roars as Selena smiles. Dylan looks around and begins to chuckle a bit.

 

Selena: Great choice. Great choice. Well, Dylan, thank you for being a great sport and because you were such a great sport, after the show, you, your mom and your dad can meet me back at my tour bus and you can bring anything you want me to personally sign and I'll sign everything for free. Everything. Poster, t-shirt, you name it. All for you buddy. Sounds good?

 

Dylan nods and Selena offers a hug. Dylan quickly wraps his arms around Selena as the two embrace. The crowd roars as Selena then brings the microphone up to his lips.

 

Selena: Alright ladies and gentleman, this next match is scheduled for one fall!

 

Selena and Dylan soon begin to exist the ring as Na Na Na” by My Chemical Romance and coming down the aisle we see one of the two competitors up next Cassidy Carter, along with her husband, the SCW World Champion, Ace Marshall.

 

Myers: Well Cassidy Carter is supposed to be in our next match ladies and gentlemen but it looks like she might have her hands full already with her husband Ace Marshall who I doubt was in the condition he is now when he won the SCW World Title at Rise to Greatness.

 

Cash: It’s Ace Marshall and he is obvious drunk Myers. He had to have been sober to beat Kelcey Wallace, but beyond that Ace might have been drunk the entire time since then who knows?

 

Myers: Well all I know is that Ace is suppose to compete in the semi main event tonight; the Days of Future's Past Six Man Tag. But right now, he looks like he'll be in no shape to compete.

 

As “The King and Queen of Debauchery” reach the ring Ace tries to hold open the ropes for Cassidy but almost falls flat on his face while Cassidy starts laughing though we can’t tell if she is laughing with Ace or at him. We cut to a shot of Selena Frost, looking on in disgust by the table where the ring bell is at with Dylan.

 

Selena: And...making her way down to the ring..She's an immature, miserable little leech...a disgrace to women all around the world and she's lucky I didn't get a chance to knock her head off her shoulders. Everyone, this is Cassidy Carter!

 

The crowd laughs as Cassidy quickly shouts at Selena, who's at ringside. Both women shouts words at each other before Ace then stumbles over the rope and to the center of the ring before posing like Leonardo DiCaprio on the Titanic and announcing to anyone who can hear him that he is “the king of the world”. The crowd laughs as Cassidy elbows her husband out of the way almost knocking him down and then poses herself while Ace makes his way back out of the ring. Ace ignores Selena at ringside and makes his way to the announce position while there is much laughter for Ace along cheers and boos for Cassidy.

 

Myers: Well this is unscheduled everyone but it looks like the new SCW World Heavyweight Champion Ace Marshall will be joining us on commentary for our next match. Uh...welcome Ace, it looks as though you have already been having a good time today.

 

Ace fumbles trying to put on a headset.

 

Cash: You having been doing this for quite a while now Ace so I will assume that have done some announcing before and I don’t to help you with that, right?.

 

Ace: No, no I don’t any help, I know how to use these things. I am just to have a good time tonight and watch that girl right there wrestle.

 

Myers: That girl as you called is your wife Cassidy Carter.

 

Ace: She is!?

 

Cash: Oh boy…

 

Myers: Does he know he's suppose to wrestle later tonight?

 

While Myers and Cash try to enlighten Ace further “Throne” by Bring Me The Horizon assaults the ears of everyone who is in earshot and the cheers start to rain down while there's always noticeable boos being heard as well. The lights go dark for a brief moment and from there, we cut to a shot of the next competitor. The crowd roars as we see the back of Ryan Watson's jacket as he waits in Gorilla for the right time to walk through the curtains. In one swift motion, Watson emerges through the curtain. The big screen lights up, with a round logo starting to flash on and off on the screen, with "P1" in big letters in the centre of the circle. As the song kicks in from the intro, the drums act as a signal for two bright white lights on the end of the state to flash up and the curtains part as Ryan Watson steps through the curtains and the crowd gives him a mixed reaction. He walks to the top of the ramp and throws his hands into the air, his palms crossed to reveal the same 'P1' logo printed on the gloves for a few seconds. He flashes a wide smirk on his face before he runs down the ramp.

 

Selena: And her opponent, he's from Sheffield, England. He's weighing tonight at two hundred and fifteen pounds. He's a former United States Champion AND a former Adrenaline Champion. Everyone, this is RYAN...WATSON!

 

Myers: He has been gone for a little while now but that smirk would be known anywhere that….

 

Ace: That’s Ryan Watson!!

 

Myers: Why yes, I believe Ryan Watson. Thank you for the clarification on that Ace.

 

Ace: No, I know him. In fact I think I have had matches with him!

 

Cash: Are we having fun we Myers, because even if you are not, I certainly am so far.

 

Hitting the ring, Watson jumps up and slides under the bottom rope leg first, sliding across the ring before hopping up and making his way straight to the corner where he jumps up onto the middle turnbuckle, once again crossing his hands in front of him, leaning into the camera to smirk smugly at it before dropping down and throwing the hood of his jacket back and unzipping his jacket. He tosses the jacket to the outside and leans back against the ropes, stretching out a little before waiting for the start of the match. As Watson's music fades, we cut to ringside, as Dylan has possession of the hammer with Selena hovering over him. Selena is heard counting down to him before telling him to hit the bell, which he does. The crowd roars!

 

Myers: And there you see, Dylan there ringing the bell to begin this match.

 

Ace: Yeeeah! Wooo hooo! Selena LOOOOOVES children! She's probably going to buy her our little Never land so she can be with children ALL the time!

 

Cash: Woah, that's pushing it?

 

Ace: Too soon? Bastard's been dead for like ten years now.

 

Dylan and Selena hug before they high five each other. Selena soon escorts Dylan back to his parents. As she does, Cassidy looks over and gives Selena the middle finger. Shortly after, Cassidy turns to Ryan. Carter looks like she wants no part of the match and heads for the outside. Watson who definitely does want to take part in a match and win follows Carter to the outside. Carter then proceeds to run around the ring avoided Watson at all costs and doing a good job of it as well. Watson eventually takes advantage of his longer legs and catches Carter on the outside but immediately regrets it when she retaliates by kicking right in the groin. The crowd cheers loudly seeing the discomfort Watson is in while Carter laughs before trying to roll him back into the ring. Watson even trying recover though rakes the eyes of Carter and throws her into a nearby guardrail.

 

Myers: Everybody is down outside of the ring in the early going, and Ace Marshall is about beside himself next to me on commentary.

 

Ace: The hot number right over there who’s facing Watson I presume, you said she is my wife right?

 

Myers: Yes Ace, Cassidy Carter is her name and she is your wife.

 

Ace: Hey Goblin-[bleep] The is my wife and you will unhand her at once, you useless scoundrel!

 

Cash: It is wrestling Ace. If the two of them are having a match, then chances are, he is going to put his hands on her, several times in fact.

 

Marshall takes out a flask a takes a big swig.

 

Ace: That is a really good point, and good booze to.

 

Cash: I’m done.

 

The two combatants get to eight count outside the ring, before Watson rolls Carter back inside breaking up the count. This doesn’t last long however because while Watson is getting back into the ring, Carter keeps right on rolling out the other side. Getting to her feet she laughs and waits for Watson to pursue again and then starts running around the ring, this time running right behind Marshall all the while laughing and making faces at Watson, who is getting increasingly angrier by second over Carter’s refusal to take the match seriously. Frustrated Watson goes to the referee in the ring and tries to get him to tell Carter to take the match seriously. As soon as Watson’s back is turned however, Carter sneaks inside of the ring and and Watson with a schoolgirl roll up the fans laughing, cheering, and counting along.

 

One

.

 

.

 

Two

 

Myers: A count of two for a near fear for Cassidy Carter who almost gets one over on an increasingly frustrated Ryan Watson.

 

Cash: You have to imagine this is not what Ryan Watson had in mind for his comeback into wrestling if that is what it is, but Cassidy Carter has had him chasing her all over the ring since this match started.

 

Ace: Look at my wife go, she almost got him!

 

Ace is soon heard fumbling over dropping his headset and then almost falling over. From there, he stumbles down the ramp. Meanwhile, Watson gets up and is even more frustrated than he was before but has no outlet to take it because Carter is already on the outside again. This time there is a mischievous smirk on Watson’s face as he sees Carter arguing with Marshall, who's now at ringside.  Going outside quietly so she will know he is there, Watson almost has his hands on Cassidy when Carter turns around and ducks so Marshall spits a huge swig from the flask right into Watson’s face. After this, the referee has no choice to call for the bell.

 

Ace: Well boys, my work is done here. Enjoy the rest of your evening and don’t party too hard!

 

Carter and Marshall head to the back is quickly as their legs will carry them with Watson in hot pursuit.

 

Selena: Uh....the winner of this match...Ryan Watson?

 

Myers: After what you can call a wrestling match I guess, Ryan Watson is your winner over Cassidy Carter.

 

Cash: Yeah Ryan Watson looks like a winner right now, doesn’t he? I don;t know what the hell that was. Between last year and now this year, Cassidy Carter has had by far the weirdest two matches of the event. She's a loon.

 

Myers: Meanwhile, Watson is chasing after them! Watson is chasing after them!

_________________________________________________________________

We cut to a shot backstage of both Cassidy Carter and Ace Marshall running but Ace stumbles on his on feet ans falls down. Cassidy stops and turns and sees Ace start laughing hysterically on the ground.

 

Cassidy: Come on, dumbass! Get up!

 

As she yells at him, Ryan Watson enters the picture.

 

Ryan: You!..

 

Cassidy: Oh [bleep]

 

Ace is heard laughing still as Cassidy freezes. But before anyone can do anything, a slew of security guards run in between them. Watson tries to break free from them, but is unable to. The guards hold both him and Cassidy. Ace remains on the ground, laughing.

 

???: What the [bleep] is wrong with you?

 

Just then, Dante McCaffery and Ms. Budde appear as they look down at Ace. Watson is heard in the background yelling to get a piece of Cassidy, who backs away.

 

Dante: You show up drunk to MY show? MY show? You're in the semi main event. Did you forget that?

 

Ace somehow manages to get to a seated position, although clearly wasted.

 

Ace: Well Mister Killjoy...let me tell ya a little secret? Lean in boy.

 

Dante doesn't listen.

 

Ace: [BLEEP] you, [BLEEP] this show, [BLEEP] your emo mood swings, [BLEEP] this city. I'm the King of Wrestling and if you don't like that, you and your [BLEEP] can suck my [BLEEP]!

 

Ace laughs as the crowd oohs. Budde looks offended while Dante visually looks angered. Budde is quick to hold him back and she mouths something to him.

 

Ace: Aww...good ol' ball and chain.

 

Ace makes several "whips" sounds that makes Dante look at the security guards,

 

Dante: [BLEEP] me? [BLEEP] me? Fine, security...grab him and her and take them out of here.

 

Booing can be heard as the security guards that were blocking Ryan immediately go towards Cassidy and Ace. Ace is picked up by a security guard and Cassidy tries to shove them off of Ace.

 

Cassidy: Don't put your hand son him! That's my job!

 

Ace: Wait, aren't I suppose to be in a match later or..

 

Dante: I don't care. You're out. Both of you are out of here. I won't say it a third time.

 

Ace is heard laughing as he grabs his World title from Cassidy. He stumbles on his feet because of how drunk he is, but the doesn't stop security from beginning to escort them out. The crowd is heard chanting "Free Ace Marshall" as they watch security take Cassidy and Ace out of the ring. Dante and Ms. Budde look at each other before they look at Ryan Watson, who shakes his head and begins to walk off.

__________________________________________________________________

The camera cuts back to Myers and Cash, who looked a bit stunned.

 

Cash: Did you just...did he just...

 

Myers: Dante McCaffery just kicked out the SCW World Heavyweight Champion Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter form this event. Ace made himself very clear in his video leading up to this show that he didn't care to be here and that he would show up intoxicated. And well, he delivered on that I guess.

 

Cash: It's unprofessional, but Ace Marshall and Cassidy Carter are two people who do not care about authority in any shape or form. My thing is, Ace was suppose to be in Days of Future's Past. He's suppose to be in the semi main event. If he's kicked out, does that mean it's now a handicap match?

 

Myers: No one knows. This is all happened in an instance. All we know is Ace Marshall is out of the match and out of the building.

 

Cash shrugs as he and Myers share a look.

 

Myers: Well, they're telling me it's time to give a shout out to the parties involved in sponsoring this event so let's get that out of the way now.

 

We then cut to a shot of the one of six rooms showing the World Hazard Festival back at the Hyatt Regency. CityCon is still going on strong and the fans immediately jump to their feet when they see they're on camera. We then see hoards of fans, dressed in their costumes, watching the show from a screen inside the food court. The camera pans around the food court, where numerous fans cheer when they see that they're on camera before then transitioning to a shot outside at the Golden Gate Bridge. The sun shining throughout.

 

Myers; The 2017 World Hazard Festival tonight is sponsered by...

 

The SCW logo flashes on the screen. We then cut to a shot earlier in the day of fans inside one of the panels being held.

 

Cash: Of course, SCW, Supreme Championship Wrestling. And obviously all of you are listening to this LIVE online at supremecw.com. Rise to Greatness 2017 is now available on PPV and this year's show was incredible. You can relive and watch Ace Marshall, speaking of, win the World Heavyweight Championship against Kelcey Wallace in an incredible match. Once again, thanks to SCW for providing us the platform and the equipment to broadcast this show to millions of people, not just in the Bay, not just in this country but to the entire world.

 

Myers: It's one of those things where, again, I'm so grateful to be apart of this entire production and to have a hand in setting up a portion of this show. Along with SCW we're also sponsored by....

 

The GCW logo flashes on the screen. We then cut to a shot of some of the highlights from the Freestyle Wrestling portion earlier today.

 

Myers: Global Championship Wrestling. Catch Livewire every other Friday and Shotgun, also on every other Saturday. This is a company that continues to grow steadily and continues to produce top tier talent. Later tonight, we'll see Maria Prado represent GCW in the semi main event as she takes place in Days of Future's Past.

 

Cash: Both Livewire and Shotgun have a mixture of some of the hottest young prospects in wrestling with some of the most decorated athletes in this sport too. An interesting dynamic that makes for a lot of great wrestling.

 

Myers: Indeed. And lastly...

 

The UWA logo shows up on the screen. We see a shot of last night, seeing several fans with their sleeping bags, sleeping outside the Hyatt Regency.

 

Myers; United Wrestling Alliance. Catch them every other Monday night with both Turmoil, showcasing the best crusierweights in the world and then with Uprising. This brand has grown within the last year and now they've launched the UWA Network; where you can subscribe and gain access to watch UWA 24/7 along with a lot of bonus content you WON'T see on the shows. It's a game changer Myers.

 

Cash: Absolutely. They continue to add talent to their ranks and have established themselves as a legit #2 to SCW. The rise of UWA, in my opinion, has only raised the profile of professional wrestling and it's introduced a lot of new fans to the sport. And yes, I do have the UWA Network and let me tell you, it is worth the amount they charge you and then some. But of course, you see everyone in their costumes and their art and that isn't possible without...

 

The CityCon logo flashes on the screen. We cut to a shot of Justin and Miranda Fields posing with a slew of fans cosplaying outside the Bill Graham.

 

Cash: We're proud to say that for the second straight year, World Hazard is supported by these guys, CityCon. They are responsible for the anime/art convention of the show and once again, their contributions to tonight an not be understated.

 

Myers: The last two years this has been a beautiful relationship that's only benefited both the art community but obviously the wrestling community AND the economy. Pulling off an event like this isn't easy people but when you're working with class acts like Justin and Miranda, it looks effortless.

 

We cut to a shot of last year's Rave to End Them All, which features a shot of Alexis Quinne and El Rudo, staring down at a hoard of people below her, dancing on the dance floor. We then fade back to ringside.

_______________________________________________________________________________

We cut back to Cash and Myers at the booth.

 

Myers: Well, Match 4 is coming up and Cash, this one is going to be a fight.

 

Cash: Oooh this is going to be good. This has been brewing on Twitter for months and now, we're going to settle it here. No DQ, no countouts, there MUST be a winner. Casey Holiday Vs Amy Chasatine.

 

Myers: Talk about explosive, this has all the possibilities to be just that. Casey has made a lot of enemies within the wrestling business for her mouth and her controversial comments directed towards people. But the young lady is incredibly talented and we know the credentials of Amy Chastine; former World Heavyweight Champion.

 

Cash: It's put up or shut up time! Let's get to it!

_________________________________________________________________

"Stop" by Jane's Addiction  plays over the PA system. The SaboTron shows the World Hazard screen once more before we go back to the screen in which all the wrestlers' icons are displayed. A few moments of scrolling go by before Amy Chasatine and Casey Holiday are selected. Their stills soon show up on the screen.

 

Voice Over: Match 4: No DQ, No Countouts, There Must Be a Winner!: Amy Chastine vs Casey Holiday!

__________________________________________________________________

The crowd applauds as soon "Pop Goes the Weasel" by Laughing Jack plays throughout the Bill Graham. The crowd cheers, though some boo as Mika Kozlov re-appears on stage. Mika smirks and looks around at the crowd before she quickly starts walking down the ramp. Mika winks at the camera before she slides into the ring. Mika calls for a microphone as her music fades.

 

Cash: Mika Kozlov out here once again. She's been a busy woman tonight hasn't she?

 

Myers: You know know what to expect with someone like Mika. But it looks like she's going to pull double duty here maybe?

 

Mika looks around as the fans give her a mixed reaction. Mika places her hand on her chin before she brings the microphone to her lips.

 

Mika: Guess who's baaack?

 

Mika shrugs her shoulders and giggles as the crowd gives her a reaction.

 

Mika: Oh? You all are not happy to see me again, malishka?

 

Mika mockingly points her ears to the crowd and smiles as they give her a louder reaction. Mika scans the crowd and smiles.

 

Mika: That's better. I think a girl deserves some love here, Bay Area. After all, I've been working my kish to be an announcer, showcased these shiny little trophies and now I'm out here in front of all of you once again. And we're only half way through the show. A girl deserves some love so damnit, malishkas, get up form your seats and cheer for me!

 

Mika smiles and urges for the crowd to cheer her, to which the crowd gives her another mixed reaction. Mika eyes the crowd and smiles as she walks around the ring.

 

Mika: Not bad, not bad but I think we can get it up a bit louder can we? But that's for later. I expect all of you to give me a standing ovation for the grand finale. So keep that in mind while you're enjoying the show. Until then, believe it or not, maliska, I'm not here to do this thing again.

 

The crowd oohs as Mika rest her finger on her lips.

 

Mika: Oh no. Instead, one of you lucky fans are going to make your dreams come true and get to say that you got to announce an actual wrestling match. Isn't this exciting?

 

The crowd cheers some more but Mika, however, puts up one finger.

 

Mika: But....but here's the thing, malishka. It's not going to be that easy. And really, would you want anything that easy in life? No, see, if you're going to get to announce a match on World Hazard, you're going to have to earn it. That's right. You all pride yourselves on being the best wrestling fans in the world right? So let's put that to the test. So this is what we're going to do. We're going to pick two of you fans out here, give the both of you microphones and this right here. So them what they get, boys.

 

One of the staffers soon jumps on the apron and pulls out two hand held buttons; one colored red and the other blue. The crowd looks on.

 

Mika: You get one of these. And why you ask? It's become the person that gets to announce this match has to answer one trivia question. It's simple. You get the question, the first person to hit the button gets to answer first. Answer it correctly and you win. You don't? And, well, you lose. BUT for the only person, they get the chance to answer it. Now if they don't get it right? Then we'll do this all over again and find two more people to play. Sounds good yeah? Good. Now, who's it going to be?

 

Several members of the audience begin to raise their hands and yell towards the ring. The cameras pan around to show select fans, which includes one fan dressed as Wesker from the Resident Evil, a young woman dressed as Captain Marvel, then a shot of a young kid dressed as a Minon from the Despecible Me franchise. Back to the ring, Mika scans around the ring until she points somewhere.

 

Mika: I'll take this blonde in the overalls here.

 

Quickly, one staffers runs around the ring to the area that Mika is pointing. We cut to a shot of the young woman, sporting blue overalls with a black shirt underneath. She jumps up and down and looks excited before she walks up to the front of the guardrail as one of the staffers hands her a microphone and the red button.

 

Young Woman: Holy [bleep], holy [bleep], holy [bleep]!

 

The crowd laughs and even cheer as this young woman continues to be excited.

 

Mika: Aww isn't this the cutest thing? I must say, I love your overalls. You're a very beautiful girl. Tell us your name.

 

The woman quickly brings it up to her lips.

 

Young Woman: My name is Mila and I'm here all the way from San Jose! Wooo!

 

Mila turns to the crowd and celebrates to the crowd and they give her a positive response. Mika is seen in the ring with a grin on her face.

 

Mika: Ooh you got some spunk to you. I like that. I like that a lot. Well, tell you what Mila, let's find out who you're going to get going against ok? Now, who wants to dance with sweet Mila here huh? Who wants it?

 

The crowd once again begins to stand up and raise their hands, Mika spins around the ring and stares at numerous fans. She playfully plays her finger on her chin before she points at a certain fan.

 

Mika: Let's go with the kind sir here with the salt and pepper beard here, heh.

 

Some of the staffers look at Mika and converse with Mika before then look and the camera do cut to an older man, sitting with his female companion, presumably his wife. Sporting a white Metallica shirt, short grey hair and grey beard. . He looks pleased before being called to the front of the guardrail. A staffer is there with a microphone and the blue button.

 

Mika: Alright, alright, sir, hi. What's your name, mister and where are you from?

 

The elder man takes the microphone.

 

Elder Man: My name is Clint; my lovely wife is sitting right behind me. I'm 56 years old I'm from right here in San Francisco!

 

Clint pumps a fist in the air and the crowd cheers him on. Mika smirks.

 

Mika: 56 huh? You don't look a day after 45. If your wife wasn't there with you, i would suggest....

 

The crowd oohs as Mika gives a mischievous look. Clint looks a bit embarrassed before we cut to a shot of his wife, who looks a bit perturbed. Mika is then heard laughing on the mic.

 

Mika: Relax, relax. I'm kidding. I wouldn't do such a thing, right?

 

Mika winks to the crowd as they play along.

 

Mika: But still, 56. That's crazy. You must have been a wrestling fan back when there was wood cars and payphones right, malishka?

 

The crowd laughs as Clint chuckles a bit too.

 

Mika: Anyways, ok, Mila, Clint. You two heard the rules and I'm not going to repeat them ok? Now that you know who you're facing, MILA...are you ready?

 

Camera pans open to Mila as she excitedly talks to the mic.

 

Mika: Yes!

 

Mila jumpsup and down as the camera stays on her.

 

Mika: Clint, hun, are you ready?

 

Clint nods.

 

Clint: I'm ready.

 

Mika looks on and smirks before she then speaks. The SaboTron shows both Mila and Clint on a split screen.

 

Mika: Here's the question....in 2014 Kelcey Wallace won the Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal...but who was the runner up?

 

Immediately, the crowd makes noise and call out. Clint looks up momentarily and this allows Mila to quickly hit her button. Mika turns around to face Mila.

 

Mila: Ravyn Taylor! Ravyn Taylor!

 

Mika: This is correct!

 

Mila screams and celebrates as the crowd rorars. A quick shot at Clint is shown as he nods and admit defeat. Mila is then shown high flying members of the audience before a staffer instructs her to hop over the guradrail. Mila does and soon slides into the ring. The lanky blonde quickly climbs up the turnbuckle and plays to the crowd, who roar.

 

Crowd: MILA! MILA! MILA! MILA!

 

Mila jumps off and looks awstruck as Mika looks on.

 

Mika: Mila, Mila, malishka you are giving me so much life right now. Soak this in because now you can say you've announced a wrestling match. Before we get this started, anything you would like to say to everybody?

 

Mika hands her mic over to Mila, who looks at the crowd.

 

Mila: Mika, all I would want to say is that Mom I love you and San Fran, are you guys ready for some [bleep] action or what?!

 

Mila yells to the crowd as they roar. Mila runs to the nearest ropes and shakes them before a staffer is seen giving Mika a few flash cards. Mika grabs them and then turns around and hands them to Mila.

 

Mika: Well here you go. You'll ne needing this. Without further ago, let's get this show on the road!

 

Mika then rolls out of the ring as Mila takes a deep breath. As she does, blue and white lights flash in time with the music and the words:

 

"Tear me down, it won't build you up"

 

Amy Chastaine comes through the curtain just as the tempo of New Years Day's "Relentless" picks up with the chorus, the lights flashing to keep up. With one hand she flips her hair out of her face, with a confident grin, gazing out at the cheering crowd.

 

"Never gonna stop

Won't quit till I'm not breathing

Chase me all you want

It won't be enough"

 

Amy starts down the ramp, greeting and touching hands with a few fans along the way. The camera cuts to Mila.

 

Ring Announcer: The following match... is schedule for one fall, with no count outs and no disqualifications! There must be a Winner! Introducing first... from New Orleans, Louisiana and representing SCW, Amy Chastaine!

 

 

"Never gonna stop

Even if these wounds keep bleeding

I'm not giving up

It won't be enough"

 

The music continues as she gets into the ring. Amy hops up on the apron, and enters the ring between the bottom and middle ropes. She flips her hair back again, one hand on her hip, and smiles at the crowd.

 

"They are fixated on bringing down my name

The grudges that you hold have no effect on me"

 

Amy now goes to the corner near the ring steps, and hops up on the middle ropes, one hand in the air overhead, and the other on her hip, posing for the cheering fans. She hops down and runs to the opposite corner, doing the same pose.

 

"Under pressure, out of options

And I'm up against the odds"

But I'm too strong and I won't fall

Gimme everything you got"

 

The music fades out and the lights return to normal as she hops down, giving a little wave and smile towards someone in the crowd. Amy then turns to Mila and gives her a high five. Mila looks completely enthused as she turns to the crowd last week. Amy then leans against he ropes, waiting.

 

Myers: There you see Amy acknowledging our guest ring announcer for this match. But Amy Chastaine, a long-time veteran, been through multiple companies, held a dozen championships. And she's here in her first appearance for World Hazard!

 

Cash: Her opponent is here for the first time, too. Not nearly as experienced but has held several championships herself. In case you forgot, she'll make sure to tell you. But this is going to be a fight. Lot of bad blood. Lot of back and Forth. Amy wanted this. Casey wanted this. And speaking of which, here she comes.

 

 

The chorus of "Fashion" by Lady Gaga hits the PA system and a camera cuts to Casey Holiday, standing in Gorilla position. She gives the crowd a nasty look and quickly, the crowd boos loudly. Eventually, she walks through Gorilla and then  steps through the curtains, drawing more boos from the crowd.

 

 

“Fashion

Put it all on me

Don't you want to see these clothes on me”

 

Mila: “And her opponent, representing herself... from Bellevue, Washington, she is Casey Holliday!”

 

Casey starts to walk down the ramp, obviously confident in her self-proclaimed, prodigious abilities. She flips her hair back cockily as she walks down the ramp, ignoring the boos and comments being flung her way.

 

“Fashion

Put it all on me

I am anyone you want me to be”

 

Casey has a smirk on her face as she gets to the ring, obviously enjoying whatever reaction she's getting from the fans. When she enters the ring, she finally acknowledges the crowd with a 'hush' signal, which only serves to incite them to boo her louder. Casey then turns and stares at Amy. Mila is then seen existing he ring and walking to where the ring bell is being kept. The camera goes back to the ring. Amy and Casey stare each other down, Amy glaring and Casey with her nose flared and mouth screwed up into a grimace.

 

Cash: Time to back up all those words, Casey. She knows it too. Look at her eyes.

 

Myers: Casey Holiday is one of the brightest young talents in the wrestling world. But her mouth and her actions have sen her become one of the most hated.

 

Cash: And I don't think she gives a damn, Myers. I think all she cares about is herself and what can she do in order to make herself the biggest name in wrestling. Winning tonight would help a lot.

 

DING DING DING

 

The two women circle each other slowly, each looking for an opening. Amy makes a “come on” motion with her hands. Casey shakes her head.

 

Casey: “Stop moving, witch! Are you scared?”

 

Amy just laughs, then plants her feet in the middle of the ring, holding her arms out at her side. We can see her say “Here I am.” Casey scowls, and then lunges. Amy sidesteps and Casey bounces off the ropes. Amy spins and puts her boot up to kick Casey on the rebound, but Casey grabs her foot and shoves, spinning Amy around. She keeps her balance though, and looks at Casey with some surprise. Casey smirks. Amy shrugs, and leaps with a spinning heel kick out of nowhere! Casey doesn't fall, but stumbles backwards and catches herself on the ropes. Amy stands there with a smirk as Casey fumes.

 

Myers: Casey tried to catch Amy off guard and ended up getting caught herself.

 

Cash: I thought she wanted to get caught by Amy? There was that video, and-

 

Myers: I don't think we're supposed to talk about that.

 

Casey pushes herself off the ropes and Amy is waiting. The lock up and Amy immediately switches the hold so that she is behind Casey. Amy pulls Casey's arm to her back with a hammerlock. Casey grimaces and grunts in pain, and Amy just pulls harder. Casey manages to spin out and break the hold, taking steps backwards to create distance and rubbing her wrist. Amy doesn't give her much room to breathe though, she advances and grabs Casey's arm, whipping her to the ropes. Casey holds her arm out for a clothesline as she comes back but Amy ducks, Casey bounces off again and dives at Amy with a Thez press, taking Amy down.

 

Myers: Oh my, Holliday has Amy down and on her back!

 

Cash: Little early for that, but Casey seems to have Amy right where she wants her!

 

Casey straddles Amy and starts to throw some punches and slaps. Amy covers up and manages to block most of them, but gets nailed with one hard slap across the face. This makes her mad and she plants her feet and pushes up, basically bucking Casey off of her. Casey falls to one side, and Amy scrambles up. Casey glare up at her as she tries to get up, but Amy kicks her back down. Casey hits the mat on her back and rolls over, holding her ribs where Amy kicked. Amy gives another stomp to Casey's back for good measure, then goes to Casey's legs. Grabbing a foot, Amy then turns around and bends Casey's leg back with a half-crab. Casey stretches and tries to pull herself towards the ropes, but Amy has her too far away.

 

Myers: Early submission attempt by Chastaine here.

 

Cash: Given rumors, I thought Casey would like this too!

 

Myers: Trevor!

 

Cash: Look I;m just saying, Myers. I'm just saying.

 

Not able to reach the ropes, Casey starts twisting her upper body on the mat, sort of a rocking back and forth motion, meant to knock Amy off balance. She gets some momentum going, and Amy's grip slips, so she lets go. Casey immediately pulls her legs under her and crawls away. Amy follows though, as Casey pulls herself up using the ropes. Once Casey is steady on her feet, Amy grabs her arm and whips her across the ring. Casey bounces off and Amy goes for a clothesline but Casey ducks and spins, and grabs Amy from behind. Casey tries to lift Amy up with a suplex but Amy blocks it. She reaches up and behind her and grabs Casey's head, then bends over, flipping Casey over and to her back in a modified snapmare. Amy drops for a cover.

 

Myers: First pin attempt so far.

Casey gets her shoulder up. Both women scramble to their feet. Casey seems annoyed that Amy managed to get her down first. She scowls and runs at Amy, possibly looking for a spear but Amy sidesteps and Casey halts her forward motion just before hitting the ropes. She turns around to see Amy's feet coming at her with a dropkick! Casey stumbles backwards and falls through the ropes, rolling off the apron down to the floor. Amy smirks.

 

Myers: Looks like this match is about to take a turn away from wrestling and into a fight.

 

Cash: And just a reminder guys.. this is a no disqualification, no count out bout! Amy and Casey can play outside the ring to their hearts content and all the ref can do is watch!

 

Amy watches as Casey pulls herself up to her feet using the apron. Casey holds her back, and Amy backs up a few steps then runs and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive! Both women crash to the mat, and Amy lands awkwardly, half on top of Casey, but her legs crashing into the announce table as she flipped over from the impact. The crowd “oohs.” The referee, who is basically just here to count falls, watches as Amy and Casey struggle to get to their feet. Casey still grabbing at her back, and Amy favoring her left knee. Amy is nearly up first, using the announce table for leverage. Leaning on it as she shakes her knee off, she watches Casey get to her hands and knees, and then to her feet, although unsteady. Amy sees her opening to take advantage and lunges for a spear, but Casey sees her coming and drops, rolling out of the way. Amy crashes into the ring steps, knocking the top step off! The crowd “oohs” and boos, while Casey looks over at the mess and laughs. Amy rolls over to her back, holding it and wincing.

 

Myers: Chastaine trying to further dismantle Holliday but crashed hard.

 

Cash: And Casey is loving this, look at her hysterical laughter.

 

Myers: Chastaine looks like she might have hurt herself, she's holding her head, I think she hit it on the steps!

 

Casey continues to laugh as she recovers her steadiness. Amy meanwhile has gotten to a seated position and is leaning against the bottom step, one hand on her head, the other on the floor propping herself up. Casey walks over and grabs Amy by her arms, and pulls her up onto the top of the step. Amy sits there, shaking her head, trying to get the fuzziness out. Casey smirks, and seems to have an idea. As Amy leans against the apron, Casey starts digging under the ring, looking for something. The referee goes over to Amy to check on her, make sure she can continue. They are seen talking, with Amy nodding.

 

Myers: Chastaine says she's okay, I'm not so sure.

 

Cash: She's one of the toughest women on this planet, Myers. She's also one of the most prideful. You think she would want to let CASEY HOLIDAY of all people take her out of a match and be the reason why she couldn't finish? She couldn't live with that.

 

Casey pulls things out from under the ring – a chair, a bat, a rope... yes! Casey smiles sadistically. A rope is exactly what she wants. Getting up with the rope in hand, Casey approaches Amy, shoving the referee out of the way. He shakes his head, annoyed he can't DQ her. Amy sees what's in Casey's hand, and starts to get up. Casey lunges and nails Amy with an awkwardly placed uppercut, making her slump back down.

 

Casey: Sit down!!! You're a WITCH! And I'm gonna do what should be done to ALL witches and HANG YOU!!

 

The fans in the front row hear this and boo heavily. Amy scrambles to get up but Casey is right in front of her and Amy has no room to actually stand up. Casey makes a loop with the rope then throws it over Amy's neck. She immediately grabs at to remove it, but Casey pulls on both ends, closing the loop. Amy has a grip but she can't slide it up over her chin and off. Casey laughs, and then while still holding both ends, climbs up onto the apron, and pulls the ends of the rope over the top ring rope, pulling up on Amy's neck.

 

Myers: Oh my God! Casey wasn't kidding, she's trying to hang Chastaine from the top rope!

 

Cash: This can't be a good feeling for Amy, last year she was hung from much higher than that in a Hell in a Cell match!

 

Myers: Nevermind the fact Casey is doing this by her own words, because of Amy's beliefs. This is disgusting! I know there's no disqualifications but something has to be done here!

 

The effect of Casey's pulling draws Amy up enough so that she gets her feet under her. Once standing, Casey pulls harder, trying to prevent Amy from being able to move. Instead, Amy hops up onto the apron to create some slack in the rope. One hand still on the loop that's around her neck, Amy uses the other to brace herself before pushing off with one leg, kicking the other into the air in a sort of Pele Kick, hitting Casey in the temple! Casey releases the rope and falls backwards. The crowd cheers, and Amy quickly rips the rope away from her neck and throws it down to the mat, rubbing her throat and coughing a little. Still sitting on the apron, Amy turns to look at Casey in the ring, now on her back and holding her head. Amy flips her hair out of her face revealing one hell of a pissed off glare.

 

Myers: Uh oh... I'd be scared if I were Casey right now!

 

Cash: Mental note.. never piss off a redhead. Ever. Personal experience, fellas.

 

Amy gets to her feet and steps between the ropes to go after Casey, but then has another idea. She then climbs the turnbuckle to the top rope, and waits as Casey starts to get up. Casey looks over to where she thinks Amy should be, and is confused to see she isn't there. She looks over at the corner just in time to see Amy leaping with a crossbody. Amy crashes into Casey and they flip over once fully, with Amy hooking a leg as Casey rolls to her back again.

Casey kicks out at the last second. Amy rolls off, clearly upset. Casey takes advantage of Amy's momentary distraction and gets her down into a roll-up.

Amy rolls out. Casey screams, frustrated. Amy is to her feet first, but Casey isn't far behind. They exchange a glare before both just laying into each other with lefts and rights. Amy, being taller, lands more shots and Casey is backed into a corner. Amy rears back looking for one stiff punch but Casey drops down in the corner to avoid it. Amy stops her momentum with a palm on the turnbuckle. Casey scrambles away under and between Amy's legs. Amy was looking down and sees this. She turns around and goes after Casey. Grabbing an ankle, Amy pulls and drops her leg down with a kneebreaker. Casey rolls over to her back, grabbing at her leg. Amy gives her one good stomp to the ribs, causing Casey to roll to one side, close to the apron. Goes to the other side, then drops with a baseball slide, kicking Casey out of the ring and to the floor. She rolls on landing, and ends up on her back.

 

Myers: And this match heads to the outside again. We've heard that Amy is usually more of a technician but she does have a mean streak that comes out on occasion. We saw some of that at S Rise to Greatness two weeks ago, and we're seeing some of it now.

 

Cash: It didn't do her any favors in Phoenix though, she may want to put a leash on that temper here.

 

Amy slides out of the ring, and pulls Casey up by her hair. Walking Casey over to the ring steps again, she kicks the rope that was around her neck minutes ago out of the way, then slams Casey's head into the apron, then shoves her down to the step, face down.

 

Amy: Listen here, little girl! It's about time you learned some damn respect!

 

Casey, still woozy from the heat shot to the apron, just lays there holding her head as Amy reaches down and picks up the rope that Casey tried to hang her with earlier. Wrapping it around her fist, Amy leaves about three feet of the end loose, and swings it threateningly. The crowd starts to cheer in anticipation.

 

Myers: What... what is Amy gonna do? Spank her??

 

Cash: She may want to rethink this... I don't think Casey will consider it to be suffering!

 

Casey stirs a little, and Amy drops an elbow on the back of Casey's neck to knock her back down. She then takes a step back, looks at some fans in the front row while holding the rope up, as if asking if she should do it. They cheer enthusiastically. Amy shrugs, then smirks, and pulls her hand back, before swinging the rope in the air overhead, then down across Casey's backside. The crowd “oohs” and Casey jerks, screaming in pain, one hand flying to her rear. Amy swipes her hand away and lands another lick. Casey yells again, and starts trying to get off the step. Amy grabs Casey's arm, not letting her get up, and brings the rope down one more time, this strike landing across the back of Casey's legs, leaving a red welt on both thighs. Amy drops the rope as the crowd roars. Casey rolls off the steps onto the mat, laying on her side, holding the backs of her legs.

 

Myers: This is insanity. First Holliday tried to hand Chastaine, and now Chastaine literally gave her a spanking.

 

Cash: It's fantastic! They're both mouthy as hell and it's great.

 

Myers: Amy clearly with the upper hand at the moment. But, even with no disqualifications or count outs, the match still has to be won inside the ring.

 

The referee shakes his head from inside the ring as Amy gets Casey up and rolls her back into the ring. Amy slides in behind her. Casey is up just before Amy is and kicks Amy back down with an enzuigiri. Amy grabs her head, possibly still hurting from the ring steps earlier. Casey makes a cover.

Amy shoves Casey off, and rolls away. Both are up at nearly the same time, and glare at each other across the ring, each catching their breath. Casey breaks first, and runs at Amy, looking to flip her over the ropes, but Amy scouts in and drops, pulling the top rope down with her, causing Casey to flip over instead. Amy hops out, but Casey is up already and grabs Amy's arm, whipping her into the barricade. Amy hits hard, and slumps down. Casey goes over and starts stomping on Amy's back. Amy tries to roll away but goes the wrong way and ends up against the barricade, earning her a stomp to the ribs. Casey goes for one more stomp, but Amy grabs her foot. Casey stops, wide-eyed, and tries to get her foot free, but Amy yanks instead, and Casey loses her balance, falling backwards on her backside. Casey grimaces in pain, having landed hard on her tailbone. Amy scrabbles backwards, and starts to pull herself up using the barricade for leverage. Casey is up too, her hand still on her lower back. Amy is nearly vertical when Casey rushes, spearing Amy into the barricade! The crowd “oohs” as both women crash through it.

 

 

Myers: Holy.... what a train wreck! Casey Holliday having no regard for her own safety, that's how much she wants to take Chastaine out!

 

Cash: She may have succeeded finally, but at what cost?

 

Casey and Amy both writhe in pain in the barricade wreckage. Amy holding her ribs, Casey holding her shoulder. Amy rolls over and off some of the padding, and manages to crawl away from Casey a few feet. Casey meanwhile gets to a seated position, backing up to a portion of the barricade that didn't break, using it to pull herself up. Amy has fallen back down to her side, cradling her ribs. Casey smirks, and gets to her feet. She looks around, and sees the bat she pulled out from under the ring earlier. Casey grabs it, but then sets it on the apron, and starts digging under the ring again.

 

Myers: Now what is she doing?

 

Cash: Wasting time, if you ask me. She needs to get Amy into the ring and pin her! You talk all this talk, you talk about being the It Girl. If I was in her corner I would tell her to stop worrying about what people think of you because if you lose, that's what everyone is going to care about. Infuriating whenever I see a young wrestler take their eye off the ball here,

 

Casey can't seem to find what she wants, and crawls deeper under the ring, to where only her legs are visible. A few seconds later, she backs out, and comes out with a white bottle in her hand, and a vicious smile. In the other hand, a small box.

 

Myers: Oh my God! Is that lighter fluid?!

 

Cash: Nevermind. i would never manager her. She's a got a few screws loose up there.

 

Indeed it is, as Casey flips the top on the bottle and squirts liquid onto the bat on the apron. The referee is watching in horror, yet due to the rules of the match; or lack thereof, finds himself unable to do anything but watch. Casey then lights a match. The referee backs away, wanting no part of what is about to happen. Casey backs away from the ring, realizing there is a puddle of fluid on the canvas and she isn't trying to light the ring up... just the bat. She then puts the match to the bat, and it lights up like a torch. Her sadistic grin gets bigger as she turns towards where Amy was.

 

Casey: Oh Ames... I couldn't hang the witch, but I betcha I can BURN her!!

 

Except Amy isn't on the ground anymore. Casey looks around, but never sees Amy coming from behind her. She had gone around the ring while Casey was getting the stuff from under it, and leaps with a dropkick from behind, straight to the spine! The bat flies from Casey's hand and lands a few feet away from the ring, still burning. Amy runs over and picks up a piece of the broken barricade, using it to put the flames out. She then turns to Casey, shaking her head. Casey is already up, but Amy clotheslines her back down. Amy then pulls Casey up and slides her back into the ring, before getting in behind her.

 

 

Myers: Wow, what a close call for Amy here, Casey losing her mind with that burning bat!

 

Cash: Almost gave new meaning to flaming redhead!

 

Casey is up, and she's mad.

 

Casey: Dammit! You were supposed to hang or burn!

 

Amy is up now and shakes her head while wagging a finger.

 

Amy: Too damn bad, kid.

 

Casey scowls, and lunges, but Amy sidesteps the takedown attempt. Casey spins around, and Amy greets her with her superkick!

 

Myers: Chastaine calls that kick the Lighting Strike, aptly named, did you see how quick that was?

 

Cash: And Casey hitting the mat is the thunder, apparently.

 

Amy drops for a pin.

Kickout! Amy gets up, and pulls Casey up with her. Whipping Casey to the ropes, Amy gets a boot up to nail Casey, but Casey grabs Amy's leg instead and spins, twisting Amy's knee and knocking her off balance. Amy falls backwards, grabbing at her knee again. Casey zeros in on this, and kicks and stomps at Amy's knee. Amy manages to roll away after a few shots land. Casey feels this is enough, and makes a cover.

Amy gets her shoulder up. Casey shoves Amy back down and tries again, hooking her leg this time.

Amy shoots her shoulder up again. Casey is angry now, and slaps the mat, screaming “That was three!” The referee holds up two fingers, shaking his head. Amy has rolled away and gotten to her feet while Casey argued with the referee. Casey gets tapped on the shoulder. She turns, and is greeted by a European Uppercut. Casey reels backwards. Amy hits another. Casey takes another step back. Amy goes for a third, but Casey blocks it and lands a forearm. Then another. Amy backs into the corner. Casey puts her feet on the bottom ropes for leverage, one hand holding Amy's hair and the other in the air looking as if she is about to start laying waste. But Amy gets her knee up (the good one) and into Casey's inner thigh. Casey wobbles on the ropes a little. Amy then hits her in the ribs on one side, then the other. Casey steps off the ropes, holding her side. Amy then kicks her in the abdomen, backing her up. Casey stumbles around the ring a bit, and Amy sees her spot. She backs into the corner and hops up on the ropes, all the way to the top. Casey notices too late to get out of the way as Amy takes to the air, flipping before grabbing Casey's head and dropping her with the BlackOut!

 

 

Myers: BlackOut! That move there has won many matches and championships for Chastaine!

 

Cash: And she kinda pulled that outta thin air, Casey never saw it coming! She could be out cold.

 

 

Amy drops for a pin, hooking the leg.

Casey barely raises her shoulder but a second too late. The referee calls for the bell, looking somewhat relieved. We cut to Mila back at ringside.

 

 

Mila: Here is your winner, via pinfall..... Amy Chastaine!

 

Amy rolls off and gets up, somewhat slowly, and the referee raises her hand. Casey sits up, and punches the mat. The crowd roars.

 

Casey: Dammit! No! NO!! Not that SCW bitch!!

 

Amy: Oh shut up already! Or would you like another BlackOut?

 

Casey glares up at Amy, as Amy turns to the crowd and plays to them a bit. Amy then slowly exists the ring before she starts heading to the back.

 

Myers: You heard the exchange between the two shortly after. Casey got her shoulder just a second too late and you can see the emotion on Casey's face.

 

Myers: She wanted this match. She had her chances. Took her eye off the ball. But despite her attitude, what a performance by her. What a fight by both and in the end, Amy was the better wrestler.

 

Back in the ring, Casey gets to her feet a bit. Amy's music fades and the crowd boos Casey, though there is some cheers mixed in. Casey looks around at the crowd and holds the back of her face before she looks around. Casey appears to be a bit humbled based off her facial expression. Casey soon motions for the crowd to quiet down, which they eventually do. Casey looks around.

 

Casey: [BLEEP] YOU ALL!

 

The crowd erupts in boos as she waves off the crowd. Casey slides out of the ring and gingerly to the back, mouthing off all fans that she can see. She walks through the curtains before we cut back to Cash and Myers.

_________________________________________________________________

We cut back to Trevor Cash and Franklin Myers as "Dreams" by Beck is heard throughout the PA system.

 

Cash: Never thought I could say that I saw both an attempted hanging and an attempted burning on one person in the same match but then again, who thought that idiot Manvel would win an other actual battle royal like he did last year.

 

Myers: You'll never let that down. Either way, World Hazard rolls on and now we're getting into the heart of this lineup. Top three matches coming up, including Ricky Octavius and the number one contender for the SCW World Heavyweight Championship Selena Frost as they take on the hottest free agent tag team in wrestling, Kaycee Caprice and Persephone of Toxxin!

 

Cash: That's the match I'm most intrigued about. For someone like me I love being on the ground floor with new talent. Caprice was in this small company called Chimera a few years ago. Got hurt but shown promised. Same with Persephone in the small pockets she;s been at. And they're going against literally one of he best wrestlers in the world in Frost and probably the most guy on this show Ricky Octavius.

 

Myers: And we saw how must Octavius broke out lats year with that performance he put in the first Days of Future's Past match. Speaking of Days of Future Past, we still got that to go. And I'm just received word from the crew, confirming what we already know, Ace Marshall has been thrown out of the arena. Furthermore, there will not be any changes made.

 

Cash: Woah!

 

Myers: Which means the Days of Future's Past match is now officially a handicap match. Stacy Kissinger and Cindy Todd Vs Tory Street and Avarice, both from the now defunct Cartel Nxt Gen company and and Maria Prado!

 

Cash: Woah, that's huge. Big advantage for the team of Street, Avarice and Prado. They're the underdogs but now they have a man advantage. That's going to even things out.

 

Myers: And of course, the main event. The War to Settle the Score. Dante McCaffery and Alexis Quinne, finally will be in the ring together one on one. PUNK HAZARD finally explodes and like we've mentioned before, this is personal.

 

Cash: The whole world revolves around the Bay Area tonight and everyone's here to see it. And we got some big names here tonight to see the action first hand.

 

We then cut to a shot of Thomas Watson in the audience. The crowd gives a respectful cheer as Thomas smirks when he sees himself on the camera.

 

Cash: Thomas Watson's here; I'm sure to watch his cousin Ryan. Former Adrenaline Champion, Winner of the 201 End of the Year Fan Vote in which he almost became World Champion. Has been inactive since the end of Cartel Nxt Gen but he's a tough dude. Would love to see him here in the ring next year.

 

We then cut to a shot of Jason Helms, alongside his wife Aniya. The crowd gives a him a mixed reaction as he smirks widely.

 

Myers: The brother of the legendary David Helms, Jason has been making quite a stir since returning to professional wrestling.

 

Cash: Let's just call it what it is. He's an asshole and he's proud of it. I love guys like this. They get under the opponent's skin. it makes my job easily to have a guy who can rattle an opponent like he can.

 

We then cut to a shot of Celeste Mallory, alongside Jania Frost and Peyton Rice. The crowd erupts once they see Celeste ash she stands up and makes her presence felt.

 

Cash: Speaking of Days of Future's Past last year, Celeste Mallory was incredible teaming up with Ricky Octavius. Since then, she's become a former World Heavyweight Champion.

 

Myers: Not to mention, one of the absolute best young talents in the world in Peyton Rice from United Wrestling Alliance. Both surely are here to support Ricky.

 

Soon, a shot of Taylor Chase is shown, sitting front row along with Scott Cannon! The crowd gives a great reaction as Taylor Chase waves to the camera.

 

Myers: Taylor Chase and Scott Cannon are also here tonight. Two of the best ever to step foot in the ring.

 

Cash: And thankfully, Taylor has a chance to relax given the things that's transpired with her over the course of this year.

 

Finally, a few rows behind them there's Donovan Kayl who receives the loudest cheer of the night. Kayl has a bandage on his head as he looks on and laughs.

 

Cash: This time they didn't boo him!

 

Myers: A much different reaction compared to last year. Kayl, fresh off that incredible match against Simon Lyman in Lyman's final match of his career. Granted, afterwards he was attacked mysteriously, which is why you see that bandage on his head, but great to see him here tonight.

 

Kayl waves at the camera until we cut back to the stage, where all of a sudden, Jack Parker stumbles his way to the stage and shortly, Max Kane follows him. The crowd boos when they see Jack return, holding a mic and his jaw.

 

Myers: Looks like Jack has recovered from earlier tonight.

 

Cash: And he doesn't look happy either. Can't blame him.

 

Jack angrily glares at the camera as Max simply watches everything transpired with a smile on his face.

 

Jack: Ooooh you didn't expect to see my face again did you huh? You thought what happened at the start of the show was REAL funny huh?

 

Jack grits his teeth as the crowd respond with an unanimous yes.

 

Jack: Well guess what? You can take your opinions and shove them up your ass and go back home to wherever the hell you came from because at the end of the day, I'm going to make more money off this show than all of you are going to see in a lifetime AND the next lifetime.

 

The crowd boos as Max Kane is then seen trying to calm down Jack Parker. the crowd only revels in Jack's anger.

 

Crowd: YOU GOT KNOCKED OUT! YOU GOT KNOCKED OUT! YOU GOT KNOCKED OUT!

 

The camera pans out to see the crowd chanting, some giving Jack the middle finger. This goes on before we cut back to Jack on the stage.

 

Jack: Well yeah, I got knocked out but I could knock every single out of you out if I needed to. Light work! Light. Work!

 

Jack continues to spit out venom as Max then mouths something to Jack.

 

Max: Jack here is a bit angry but I'm good. You're good to right, guys?

 

The crowd roars.

 

Max: Because I came here to [bleep] party so make some noise!

 

The crowd roars some more as Max smiles.

 

Max: Now, the reason why we got rolled out here and you see our lovely faces here is because now is the time for our special interview. Now, originally, this was going to be a two parter but both Dante and Alexis declined to come out here and say any last words so there you have it.

 

Max pauses as the crowd chatters.

 

Myers: No surprise, if you think about it. Not much can be say at this point.

 

Max: BUT...but we do have everyone in the semi main event here and so that's what we're going to do. So, for everyone in Days of Future's past, come out down!

 

"Dreams" by Beck plays once again as both Max and Jack wait on stage. Jack is seen talking to some of the fans before suddenly, Stacy Kissinger walks through the curtains in street clothes to a nice reaction. Stacy waves to the crowd before soon, Cassandra Mason walks out to the ramp. The crowd gives a mixed reaction, clearly not expecting her to be out here.

 

Myers: Cassandra Mason? Cassandra Mason?...She's..out here.

 

Cash: She's not in this match. I didn't even see her earlier today anywhere nor did anyone say that she was going to be here.

 

Myers: Well we know her and Cindy Todd are romantically involved and tonight's supposed to be Cindy's return to wrestling, but we haven't seen Cindy all night either.

 

Stacy looks at Cassandra with a bit of a confused look as Cassandra glares at her and then the crowd. Max is seen talking to Jack about something, presumably  about Cassandra since he's seen pointing at her. Shortly after, Tort Street, Avarice and Maria Prado walk out one by one. Immediately, Jack Parker and Tory Street lock eyes before turning away from each other. The five individuals soon stand in a straight line as the music fades. The crowd begins to yell and cheer different chants, none can be audible. Max takes the lead to start.

 

Max: First off, before we get started. I feel as if something's...not right about this. Something's a bit off. I wonder what that could be....*cough* Cassandra Mason. *cough* Casandra Mason.

 

Few fans laugh with Max as Cassandra stands with her hands above her hip.

 

Max: But seriously, Cassie? Can I call you Cassie?

 

Cassie shakes her head and mouths "No."

 

Max: Alright, Casandra...I'm going to ask you something everyone here is probably wondering...what are you doing here?

 

Max brings the microphone to Cassandra's mouth. The crowd chatters among themselves as a smirk grows on her face.

 

Cassandra: Don't mind me, Max. I am simply a Messenger. My love is not here right now because she wants to make sure her return tonight will put everyone on notice and show everyone that the REAL queen of wrestling is back!

 

The crowd roars as Cassandra licks her lips.

 

Casandra: She knows about what Ace Marshall did and trust me, she isn't happy about it. Not a good scandal alert at all. But, that's not going to stop her from reclaiming her spot as the most dangerous woman on the face of this Earth. Avarice, Tory Street, I know you guys are hoping and praying that you find some way to get the biggest win of your career tonight at the expense of Cindy. But even with the man advantage, it's not really an advantage because you're going to have to look Cindy in the eyes and you're going to have to put her down. many have tried and many have failed and tonight, the same result will happen.

 

Tory and Avarice are seen mouthing off a few words to Cassandra, who merely responds by keeping her mouth shut. Maria Prado looks on as Cassandra turns her attention towards Stacy.

 

Cassandra: As for you Stacy. Tonight, you and Cindy are partners but don't think that you're safe either. You do your part and there will be no problems. But if you mess this up, if you ruin this return, then you won't be singing any tunes anytime soon because Cindy is going to grab your throat and she's going to squeeze until you can't sing or speak anymore!

 

The crowd oohs. Stacy stares straight at Cassandra as the latter's face tightens. Stacy is then seen mouthing off a few words.

 

Cassandra: That's all I have to say. Everyone that wrote off Cindy Todd's demise was surely mistaken. After tonight, all of you will realize that she in fact isn't dead but she's bigger than ever. And for all of you, that bad news. Ta ta.

 

Cassandra's mockingly says her final words before flipping the mic. It hits the stage as Cassandra turns around and then heads towards the back. Max grabs the microphone soon as Stacy simply shakes her head.

 

Max: Well, if that wasn't intimating. Stacy, Cassandra Mason just put your life on notice here. What are your thoughts about that and this match?

 

The crowd soon cheers as Stacy steps up to the microphone. She looks around as the crowd chants her name and she grows a small smile.

 

Stacy: Listen, i've been doing this thang' for too long now. People have threatened to end my career, busted me open, slammed onto tables, etc, etc and every single time I stand back up on my two feet, ready for me. Because-

 

The crowd erupts in cheers, which causes Stacy to stop speaking briefly.

 

Stacy: Because I'm a fighter and whenever she likes it or not, Cindy Todd is going to have to depend on me to help her win this match tonight. I don't care about her reputation, I'm a grown woman and I'm going to keep standing on my two feet and fighting because that's all I know how to do!

 

Stacy defiantly looks to the crowd as they give her the approval. Max shrugs his shoulders as the crowd is responsive to Stacy's fiery comments. Stacy then looks across from her at her opponents for tonight.

 

Stacy: Now, tonight, I know I'm going to be stepping into the ring with the three of you. I can see the hunger in your eyes. I know what you guys are feeling right now. You want to make a name for yourself, you want to put yourself on the map. Now thanks to Ace Marshall having way took many to drink, Cindy and I are going to be down a person. But between the both of us, regardless of what she thinks of me, we make a hell of a team. Because we're two of the most resilient women in this business.

 

The crowd roars.

 

Stacy: Tory, I know you come from the Street wrestling family and Avarice, I know you want to break free of the shadow that Gable Winchester put you under and Maria, I know you want your voice to be hard. But if you're going to  walk out here with that victory, you're going to have to earn it. You're going to have to take it away from me. I'm happy to be here, I signed up here to have some fun but when the bell rings, you three will have the biggest opportunity of your lives and if you want it, then you're going to have to get through Cindy and you're going to have to get through me. And I'm NOT going to make it easy for ya. Good luck!

 

Stacy steps away from the mic as the crowd roars. We get a shot of Tory and Avarice, both of them brushing off Stacy's comments with dismissive smirks on their faces. Maria simply looks on. Jack soon steps up towards the three before holding he microphone.

 

Jack: Strong words...strong words. But even son, we have three people here who would love to put that to the test. So first,...Tory..

 

Tory and Jack lock eyes again with both annoyance and anger written on their faces.

 

Jack: Your thoughts on this match?

 

Jack offers the microphone to her to which she snatches it away from her, drawing some reaction from the crowd.

 

Tory: I notice you can't look me in the eyes Jack. Is it because you know all the crap you said about me in Cartel Nxt Gen about me playing pro wrestler? How you attacked my character when you were the same little boy that was desperately trying to get in my pants?

 

The crowd oohs as Jack shakes his head and wags his finger at the crowd.

 

Tory: If I decided to actually go with my urges and didn't turn you down, you wouldn't have ran to my sister now wouldn't you?

 

The crowd oohs even more and Jack simply shakes his head and mouths off a few things to the crowd.

 

Tory: But I hope you see what I see. You, with this microphone, interviewing me because I'm going to be in the Semi Main event while you'll going to be in the back  watching me be the wrestler you never will be.

 

Jack shakes his head and looks irritated as he then places his hands on his hips, looking at the crowd. Tory maintains her composure and turns to Stacy.

 

Tory: Now, enough has been said about He Who Should Not Be Named..

 

Jack turns around and faces Tory.

 

Jack: oh so this is Harry Potter now? i'm Voldemort? Real mature Victoria.

 

Jack continues to mouth off loud enough for the camera to pick it up.

 

Tory: That's not even my name you idiot.

 

The crowd laughs as Jack brushes off the comment.

 

Tory: As I was saying, Stacy, you've been doing this for a long time. But I'm going to make this simple. You should retire.

 

The crowd oohs as Stacy raises an eyebrow.

 

Tory: Because for years you've been in the same damn spot. So close, yet so far away. You've had opportunity after opportunity, big match after big match and you've always been good..but not good enough. Stacy, I WON big match after big match in Nxt Gen. Never got a Cartel Championship match. I got overlooked by people like He Who Should Not Be Named. "Oh I'm just trying to get by because of my last name." That's what I heard. Well guess what Stacy? I'm here. On this stage. World Hazard. Telling you that I'm going to grab the opportunities that you've pissed away by going through you.

 

Tory steps up a bit towards Stacy.

 

Tory: Ace Marshall's lucky he got tossed because I was going to do the same to him. And Cindy Todd? I'm saving some for Trinity but if she wants to make this big return, I'm going to make sure I welcome her with a fist to the face. This is what I've been waiting for Stacy.

 

Tory looks to Avarice.

 

Tory: I know you've been waiting for this too, Avarice. You and I are on the same page. As far as you go Maria?

 

This is where both Maria and Tory lock eyes.

 

Tory: I know about your loyalties to Cindy. I know you worship her as your Queen. But tonight you're on my team and I'm saying this now, Maria. This chance. This moment. I won't let it go and if you have any ideas of stabbing me or Avarice in the back you better pray that you don't cross paths with me because if you do, I will send you to ER. Simple as that.

 

The crowd roars as Tory mouths a few words towards Maria as she hands the microphone back to Max. Maria simple looks at Tory as Max soon walks towards Avarice. Jack is sitting on the edge of the right side of the stage at this point.

 

Max: Well alright then. It's on. It's on. Avarice, how can you follow that up my man? You used to be with Gable way back in the day. Now you're on your own. What are you going to do in this match huh? What are you bringing to the table?

 

Avarice smirks a bit as he strokes his chin. Meanwhile, Tory and Stacy are in the background still jawing back and forth. Maria looks on.

 

Avarice:  What am I bringing to the table, you say? How about the bloody Apocalypse?!

 

He pauses as he looks at Stacy.

 

Avarice: Stacy, Stacy, Stacy. It's been a long time hasn't it? Maybe you remember me when you and Gable were lovely dovey. Maybe you don't. So much has changed since then. I have changed. I met someone who has given me inspiration. Someone who has given me a purpose in life. And she has made me into the man that I am standing right in front of you.

 

Avarice smiles.

 

Avarice: I've been through so much Stacy. So much pain, so many hardships and yet, I've become stronger, I've become faster, I've become complete. You and Cindy are titans for a reason. Too bad Ace left you guys high and dry. Oh well. So sad. It doesn't matter what the odds are and who's in this ring. Tonight, like Tory said, this is our chance. This is our opportunity. Last year, golden boy and Celeste couldn't get the job done even though they came this close. This year? Tory, myself and hopefully you Maria, we're leaving it all on the line. We will give EVERY single part of our bodies and we will give you EVERYTHING that we have.

 

Crowd cheers as Avarice peers out at the crowd.

 

Avarice: For so long, people have told me I am the man that gable Winchester built. Gable was the one that made me. Gable was the one who made me relevant. Stacy, I am going to be all that fury, all that anger of everyone telling me I'm nothing without him and I'm going to bring it to you Stacy and to the infamous Cindy Todd. I am destruction in the flesh and this stage, World Hazard, in front of these people,is the perfect place to unleash everything that I've been waiting to let out. And I promise you after tonight the only thing that everyone will be saying afterwards is simply...All Hail the Apocalypse.

 

Avarice smirks before he turns to Tory and the two of them nod. The crowd applauds and cheers as Stacy stares at the both of them. Max takes the mic from Avarice and then walks over to Maria, who retains her stoic expression.

 

Max: And finally, you Ms. Lady. You've been quiet. Really quiet. Your partners think you're up to something. What do you gotta say about that.

 

Maria quickly snatches the microphone away from Max. Max feigns as if he's offended before Maria walks to the middle of the ramp and then turns her back to Stacy, staring directly at Tory and Avarice.

 

Maria: Tory...Avarice, I know that you two don't trust me. And you're right. You shouldn't trust me. As you all are aware, my mentor Cindy Todd will be standing acorss the ring from us. And obviously you know how much I respect that woman for everything she's done for me.

 

Tory crosses her arms and looks skeptical.

 

Maria: But I did not sign up for this show because of her. I signed up because I've been in the shadows for too long and this is the show where I can finally step out. I've been behind Malcolm Cross in GCW, leading him to victory but there's come a time where I've starting thinking about me not being on the outside of the ring but inside the ring because I know what I'm capable of doing. You two don't have to trust me. We don't even have to pretend like we're friends. But when you two step into that ring tonight, just know that I will be on your side and when I'm face to face with Cindy...I'm going to do what I have to do in order to make sure that everyone begins to take notice of Maria Prado. So don't worry, I will be there ready to fight.

 

The crowd roars as Maria drops the mic and glares at both of her teammates. They both share a look of pessimism but eventually, Maria extends her hand out to Tory. Tory looks at the hand and the crowd begins to chant for her to accept it. Maria is seen mouthing something to Tory. After looking at the ring, Tory pushes the hand aside, to boos from the crowd.

 

Tory: You better not screw me over. Hey, hey look at me.

 

Tory steps up tot he face of Maria. The crowd oohs as the two stare off from one another. Quickly, Avarice intervenes between the to before anything can escalate. Tory backs away, but doesn't take her eyes off of Maria.

 

Tory: If you don't hold up your end..I swear..

 

Tory soon backs away and then exists through the curtains. Maria looks on as Avarice stares back before he also leaves the ramp and then through the curtains. Shortly after, Maria follows suit and eventually, so does Stacy. This only leaves Max and Jack on stage as Jack is now back to the middle of the ramp.

________________________________________________________________

"Dreams" by Beck plays over the PA system as we cut back to Trevor Cash and Franklin Myers at the booth.

 

Cash: Geez, talk about tension. For starters, Stacy and Cindy are now at a disadvantage being one man down. But yet, Tory and Avarice don't trust Maria due to the fact that her idol is Cindy Todd!

 

Myers: A lot of pride is on the line. You heard Tory and Avarice. They've been overlooked. They've proven themselves and don't feel as if they get enough credit for it. They know what this match could mean for their careers. As does Stacy, even. She's a fighter, like she said and this is a chance for her to perhaps prove people like Tory wrong when they claim that she's never been able to get over the hump.

 

Cash: Yeah but in all honestly, listen I LOVE the fire and the passion that Tory and Avarice spoke. But there's a reason why they're on this show looking for that one breakthrough moment and why in order to get that breakthrough moment that they have to get through Stacy. I get it, her singing sometimes can break all the glass in your house. But let's not forget the fact that she's a former United States Champion, former Tag Champion, former Women's Champion. Plus you add probably the most dangerous woman in this business who's making her long awaited return to the ring. And you're telling me that Cindy ISN'T chomping at the bit to get in that ring? That's what Tory and Avarice and Maria need to worry about.

 

Myers: Huge opportunity up for grabs in the second addition of the Days of Future's Past match. Speaking of opportunities, earlier today, for the second straight year, this building hosted the Freestyle Wrestling portion.

 

We soon see the World Hazard logo appear on screen before we see footage of several fans entering inside the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium around 10 o'clock in the morning. An "EARLIER TODAY" graphic the pops up towards the right corner as we then see several local wrestlers, both men and female, walk through the curtains. The most noticeable one is Max Kane.

 

Cash: That's right. Where the best talent in the Bay Area competed until the Top 8 were selected by myself, Myers here and the handful of scouts that are in attendance form SCW, GCW and UWA.

 

We see clips of various wrestlers hitting their particular moves before cutting to a shot of Max Kane performing a 630 Senton off the top rope to an opponent on the outside.

 

Myers: Those 8 competed in a single elimination tournament and eventually, we got down to two individuals.

 

We then cut to a clip of a red haired women and a light skinned man trading elbows back and forth with each other. We then cut to a shot of the woman missing a Spin kick and then the young man responding by landing a Superkick flsuh to the woman's jaw. We then see the young man ascend up the top turnbuckle before jumping off and landing on top of the woman with a high angled Frog Splash. He covers her as the crowd does in the footage until he gets the three. The young man immediately leaps into the air in joy.

 

Cash: It came down to that young woman Tammy Thomas and your winner of this year's Top 8 and soon, the newest member of the GCW roster, Eli the Prince!

 

We cut to a shot of Eli the Prince with a trophy in his hand alongside Franklin Myers in the ring, posing before cutting to a shot of Tammy, sitting on the steel steps on the outside, almost in tears.

 

Cash: As you see there a lot was on the line here. There's several talented wrestlers here that just need the right person to notice them. Some have been on this scene for years, decades even which goes to show how hard it is to break through. Top8 presents that opportunity for these guys to chance their lives in one day. She's crying in that video, but remember the name Tammy Thomas. She's a good one and I wouldn't be surprised if her or a lot of these guys that wrestled today pop up somewhere.

 

Myers: Absolutely. She has nothing to be ashamed of. But Eli the Prince impressed in all of his outings, earned the right to compete in the Top 8 tournament and then he went through everyone he faced to win.

 

Cash: Which is really impressive. Folks, he literally wrestled five times, including the three matches in the tournament, in the span of, what, four-five hours? I mean that's just freaky and it goes to show you just how much these guys are going to put it on the line in order to make an impression.

 

Myers: And now, speaking-

 

Myers is soon cut off by the lights going dark in the audience. The crowd roars, unaware of what's going to happen next. Soon "Bleach" by The Toxic Avenger begins to play over the PA system. The soothing beat echos throughout the arena before shortly, we see the lights from above the ring form an image of a globe on the canvas. The crowd oohs at the detail of this display. Then, a booming voice begins speaking throughout the PA system.

 

Voice Over: World Hazard 2017.

 

Inside the globe, we can see another image; this time we see an animated display of two wrestlers fighting each other. This then dissolves, as does the entire visual, into a display of the San Francisco skyline. From this point, the SaboTron flashes a deep blue visual of downtown San Francisco. We can see the moon on the far right, revealing that this is taking place in the night time. A sweeping shot of people on the sidewalks, looking straight at us. Back to the ring, the skyline image is now replaced with an image of the globe, but this time, "World Hazard 2017" is circling around the globe.

 

We go back to the SaboTron where we see shots of the Kaiser Center in Oakland, followed by the San Rafael bridge, Albany Hill, Oracle Arena.

 

Voice Over: Last year...we shocked the world-world-world....

 

World continues to repeat itself as we get a shot of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We then see an older black man, staring at the shot. We then see a young blonde haired woman, flashing a peace sign as she walks down the street.  We then see a hoard of young people, standing with their backs against the walls of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

 

Voice Over: This year. Bay Area...the World-

 

Word continues to repeat itself again before we see a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge.

 

Voice Over: The World is ours!

 

"Bleach" scratches abruptly and then replaced immediately by "Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers. The lights above the ring quickly start flashing blue, red and yellow as the image in the ring dissolves into a shot of the globe and to the side the graphic: "World Hazard 2017" with "The World is Ours" on the bottom.

 

We then cut back to the SaboTron where we cut to a shot of a rowdy wrestling crowd inside a small room, where the shot immediately cuts to Trevor Cash and Franklin Myers watching from the crowd. They briefly look at the camera before we cut to a shot of a few underground San Francisco tunnels, filled with murals and graffiti before immediately cutting to an underground party, the shot slowing down to see a slew of people dancing, while also sporting some glow in the dark attire on their faces and bodies.Through the tunnels, we see local artist Kandis, smiling at as while holding a piece of her artwork. We then see a young black man, giving a salute to the shot as he walks past the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We then cut back to a shot of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium before the tron suddenly gong back, as does the lights and the song. The crowd roars in unison during this pause but soon, the tron shows a graphic of a sleek looking, blue graphic that reads "World Hazard Festival 2017" with a red button underneath. "Galvanize" comes back on.

 

"World-world-world-"

 

World is repeated multiple times.

 

 

The time has come to

Push the button

World-world-world

The time has come to

Push the button,

World-world-world

The time has come to

 

My finger is on the button

 

This phrase repeats as the beat gets louder and louder and louder and and the lights begin to flash frantically.

 

The time has come to....

 

Voice Over: World Hazard 2017; Second Half...

 

The time has come to...

 

Voice Over: Ready?

 

Galanize!

 

Voice Over: Go!

 

The button is pressed and immediately, the scene is taken through some sort of portal, going through flashing blue and green lights before we finally come to a screen where "World Hazard 2017" is then shown with a blue background that emulates Tron: Legacy or even Blade Runner. In the ring, the lights have given it a deep blue and pink-ish hue. Back on the tron, we are then taken further through this background, on a path that now looks like a racetrack. We then see a select screen where now all the icons of the wrestlers are now silver and blue. A few moments of scrolling go by before we see Ricky Octavius, Selena Frost and the tag team Toxxin are selected. These still soon are plastered in the middle of the screen;

 

Voice over: Match 5: Ricky Octavius and Selena Frost Vs Persephone and Kaycee Caprice!

_________________________________________________________________________________

The lights come back on in the arena as the crowd stands up and roar after the display that was just seen. They immediately clap and chant loudly.

 

Crowd: THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT WAS AWESOME!

 

The crowd continues to chant this loudly before all of a sudden "Under Ground Kings" by Drake hits the PA system. The crowd doesn't react, unaware of whom's theme this belongs too. But shortly, Eli the Prince walks onto the ramp, donning a silver and black Varsity jacket with blue jeans and a gold crown on his hand. A few fans cheer, knowing who he is but Eli looks around and raises his arms in the air. We then cut to the announce table, where Franklin is standing up from his seat with a microphone in his hands.

 

Franklin Myers: Ladies and gentleman please welcome at this time, the 2017 Top 8 winner from earlier today, Eli the Prince!

 

A few respectful cheers are heard as Eli turns and walks over to the announce table, where he grabs the mic from Franklin before shaking his hand. He gives Cash a hand salute before walking back to the ramp and then down the ramp. Eli slaps a few hands with the fans before he slides into the ring.

 

Myers: Well I just introduced him moments ago but this young man ran the gauntlet earlier today and became the winner of the second Top 8 tournament and soon to be the newest member of the GCW roster Eli the Prince.

 

Cash: Kid's only 23 years old but has been wrestling since he was 18 years old. Has a lot of style and flair to his game, both in the ring and out. You don't wear a crown and not feel confident about yourself. But he's a hard worker and today, that all paid off well.

 

Eli points to the crowd and nods his head, smiling. His music soon fades and the crowd gives him a little reaction. Eli looks around and runs a hand through his long black hair. He then brings the microphone up to his lips.

 

Eli: Ah man tonight's been lit hasn't it?

 

The crowd cheers. Eli looks on and adjust his crown.

 

Eli: Crazy, crazy. It's been crazy. This is the place to be. It's crazy being out here. Haha I like to think of myself as someone who isn't shy but honestly..yeah, being out here in front of everyone..

 

Eli struggles a bit thinking to think about his next words. He looks around as the crowd looks on,

 

Eli: My bad I promise you guys I'm not this shy. I sound like the kid trying to ask out the hot cheerleader you know?

 

The crowd laughs a little bit as Eli does as well.

 

Eli: But yeah guys, being in this ring in front of the entire world is something I've always dreamed about. Now I know a lot of out here and everyone at home is watching this right now online don't know who I am or knew that I existed until now.

 

Eli then turns to the side and he mouths "Where's my camera?" He nods when given an answer. He turns around and points straight ahead.

 

Eli: There's my camera. Well, since the world is watching, this is where I make myself known. World, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Eli the Prince and since you're wondering why I have this crown on my head, it's because right now I'm just a Prince. But one day, I'm going to take the throne and I'm going to become the King of Pro Wrestling.

 

The crowd oohs a bit as Eli smirks.

 

Eli: Now I know that sounds big. I know that sounds like big talk but trust me, I KNOW for a fact that I can make it count. And in case you wanted to know. I'm representing Sunnyvale and-

 

A few fans cheer as Eli pauses and looks around. He smirks.

 

Eli: Oh do we got some people from Sunnyvale in the house? Hey, hey, if you're from Sunnyvale..if you're from Sunnyvale, make some noise!

 

A section of the fans can be heard cheering. Eli nods his head and smiles.

 

Eli: That's what's up. That's what's up. Now last year, I was here. Yeah I was here, in the crowd last year. Seriously last year I competed in the Freestyle Wrestling in this building. And I was so sure that I was going to be the one that took home that GCW contract. And what happened? I got embarrassed. I didn't even win one match. Franklin Myers over there told me that I took my eye off the ball and I acted like I didn't have anything to prove. He told me that I hadn't done anything worthy to brag and act like I ran the place and that if I kept acting that way, I would never make it.

 

Eli pauses.

 

Eli: That got to me. That really did. And I knew that he was right. I knew that if I wanted to win, let alone be picked to be apart of Top 8, I had to look in the mirror and I had to ask myself what kind of wrestler did I want to be, Did I want to be a never was? Or did I want to be more? Was I willing to pick myself up and work harder; train harder, fight harder. Was I willing to bust my ass to prove that I belonged in this ring? Well, a year later and you all are looking at this year's Top 8 Winner!

 

The crowd cheers a bit.

 

Eli: So I think it's safe to say, I passed that test.

 

Eli nods.

 

Eli: And there was a lot of people, a lot of good people that I've wrestled against, teamed with. A lot of good people. It's cliche at this point but find an area of hungry, grinders that are here in the Bay Area because no one outside of this area can beat us here.

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Eli: And..there's a lot of people that's been doing this earlier today. A lot of them who are better than me but I wanted this more. I wanted this opportunity more. I wanted to win and now? Now that I have? GCW, get ready because when I show up, I'm going to turn heads. I'm going to have everyone's attention real quick. And I promise to everyone here that I'm going to hold in down for Sunnyvale, for the entire Bay Area and for my friends who bust their ass every time to break through. I promise I won't let any of you guys down.

 

Eli draws cheers from the crowd as he nods.

 

Eli: So with that said, are we ready for the next match?

 

The crowd roars.

 

Eli: Alright. Let's get it's going!

 

Crowd cheers as Eli is seen given a few cue cards.

 

Myers: “Tag team match, one a product of the Thunderdome and Tony Todd, father of the infamous Cindy Todd, the other, two Champion wrestlers from the UWA and SCW, never teaming before.”

 

Cash: “What’s important is continuity, quick tags, see how they know each other. Toxin does, they are like sisters, Selena Frost and Ricky Octavius were opponents last year in the match which I believe stole the show.”

 

“One More Diamond” by Elliot Goldenthal plays throughout the arena as a lone green spotlight shines on the entrance way. The man known as Carlton in his dress pants, loafers and cardigan sweater walks out making sure that the area is clear. He looks on before two large items that look like closed flowers. The crowd oohs as these two large flowers are elevated up on the stage, one to the right, one to the left. At once, both of them "bloom" as Kaycee Caprice and Persephone are seen standing in the middle! The crowd oohs as the two then seductively walk out from the flowers and then meet Carlton towards the middle of the ramp. Persephone pops her purple trench coat and cracks a smirk as she takes Kaycee's hand and leads them to the ring.

 

The two strut to the ring with purpose as Carlton follows. Once the girls known as Toxin get to the ring, Carlton opens up the ring ropes but she instead shakes her head and splits on the mat to the roar of the crowd and rolls under the ring, Persephone, seductively goes through the ropes that Carlton holds open as he quickly helps her take off Persephone’s cape and Kaycee’s coats. They walk up to opposite corners and raises their hands with a sexy smile on their faces.

 

 

Eli: “Introducing first,  wrestling out of the Thunderdome, From Sydney, Australia The Rose, Kaycee Caprice, The Thorn, Persephone….. give it up for the deadly…. TOXIN!”

 

The fans cheer and boo, a true mix reaction. They get down and meet in the middle of the ring, they kiss each other on the cheeks and pose to the camera awaiting the start of the match while Carlton makes his way to their corner. Kaycee & Persephone prepare to face their opponents teasing and flirting with the referee and even Eli a bit in the process.

 

Cash: “I’m in love, those two ladies are hot and sassy. They know each other well, this match will be a show stealer.”

 

Myers: “I agree, the key to the match for both teams, Ricky and Selena have to work together, quick tags, be on the same page and take control early, they are the veterans, they control the pace of the rookies. As for Toxin, they are like sisters, they practice all the time, like a well-oiled machine, so for them, the key is to focus on Ricky and Selena’s lack of tag team continuity, we saw at Retribution when Selena and Kelcey Wallace teamed up against the B & B Experience, one mistake cost them the match, that’s what Toxin needs to do tonight.”

 

"BELIEVE IT!"

 

At the sound of the familiar call, the true-believers are immediately on their feet in cheers as What I Believe" by Skillet brings forth a barrage purple-blue lights in the design of snowflakes across the arena. From the back, out walks The Snow Queen, herself, Selena Frost. With a twirl amongst the lights and snowflakes, Frost slowly strolls down the ramp, her platinum-white hair in a long-braid swishing this way and that as the lights bounce off the Supergirl red cape and suit she wears…..

 

Fans: WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE!

 

Looking around the arena, Selena smiles at the voice of her true-believers before sliding into the ring. Inside, the Winter Diamond is quickly on her feet, stepping into the center of the ring as all the snowflake-lights rush to form a large blue-white snowflake-shaped light over Selena.

 

 

Eli: “From Nome, Alaska! Sh's a former  SCW World Champion and the number one contender, let’s give it up for…. “The Super Snow Queen” SELENA FROST!”

 

Raising her arms, the Defier of Worlds looks up at the lights before they return to normal. With a smile, Selena removes her cape, folding it and placing it aside before returning her attention to the ring as the crowd cheers….

 

Myers: “Selena having a little fun and mixing in with the culture that is the World Hazard Festival, Cash. Dressed as Supergirl, she was out here earlier. Hosted a panel of her own today. But right now, she'll be in the ring with two hungry competitors.

 

Cash: “This match is going to be a humdinger, as you would say Myers. A Present and Futures preview, two of the top present stars today, two of the future and earlier I was talking with Kaycee Caprice and Persephone, my Lord, they are beautiful. ”

 

 

Persphone and Kaycee are seen giving Selena a few words as Selena looks on. She flashes a smile and nods as Toxxin continues to talk. However, both are drown out by the crowd immediately cheering and chanting.

 

Crowd: RICKY! RICKY! RICKY! RiCKY!

 

Selena looks on and even encourages the crowd to continue chanting. Eventually, Headstrong by Trapt hit’s over the P.A System, the fans cheer loudly as all eyes focus on the stage. We then cut to the SaboTron, where we see a locker room door. A guard soon knocks on the door.

 

Guard: Ricky it's time!

 

A few seconds go by before the door opens and immediately, Ricky Octavius walks out. The crowd roars. Ricky is sporting the same black coat her wore at last year's event. Ricky breathes in a bit before be starts walking down the hall, where there's at least five security guards flaking him. Ricky psyches himself the closer he gets to the curtains. He breathes in and jumps up and down a bit before he reaches the Gorilla position. Ricky nods before the camera follows him through the Gorilla position. He then pushes through the curtains part and jogs out to the stage. The Bay Area crowd stands up and roar as he walks over to one side of the stage and smiles while looking out at the fans before switching sides and doing the same. He then jogs back to the center of the stage and looks down to the ring, the camera positioning itself now in front of him.

 

 

Eli: “Ladies and Gentleman, hailing from Los Angeles, CA. He weighs in tonight at one-hundred and fifty-two pounds… Give it for the UWA X-Limits Champion…. He is Ricky OCTAVIUS!!!”

 

 

The fans erupt again in full support of the young superstar; a few female screams are heard as well as he begins to walk down towards the ring. He slaps the hands of various fans, even stopping for a quick selfie with one at the bottom of the ramp. He walks over to his girlfriend, UWA Cruiserweight, Peyton Rice, they kiss and she high fives him as he quickly leaps up onto the apron and vaults over using the rope to launch himself and planting both feet into the canvas before quickly running across the ring and scaling the corner and looking out at the fans once again with a grin on his face.

 

Cash: “He's a lucky man to have a girl like that, don't you think?”

 

Myers: “He’s a good looking dude and Peyton Rice, one of the premiere Cruiserweights in the UWA, is all class. He’ll be focused on this match though, his opponents are in the same position as he was last year. last year Ricky was looking for the big upset. He was looking to become established. Now he is and now he must fight off the big upset. What a difference a year can make.

 

Cash: And listen to these people. They remember last year. They were chanting his name all night. They love this kid.

 

Ricky's music fades and the crowd continues to make some noise.

 

Crowd: LET's Go RiCKY, LET's GO! LET'S GO RICKY, LET's GO!

 

This goes on for a while, as Ricky looks both stunned and humbled. Ricky can be seen mouthing "Thank You" a few times as Selena can't help but smile. Toxxin looks on and shake their heads before Kaycee Capirce and Ricky exist the ring, leaving Selena and Persephone behind. The referee calls for the bell to start the match and the crowd cheers. Chants for Selena quickly fill up the arena. Persephone doesn't look impressed.

 

Soon, Persephone along with Selena circle the ring, they lock up, Selena backs her up to the ropes and breaks clean. Persephone glances over at Kaycee who cheers her on, the two lock up again, this time Persephone pushes Selena to the ropes, she feigns a clean break before kneeing Selena. She kicks her a few times before whipping her to the ropes, she quickly reverses it and hits Persephone with a hip toss, she gets up and Selena then strikes with a dropkick that causes Persephone to roll out of the ring. Kaycee goes to Persephone who stands up, holding her chest, Ricky nods as both he and Selena run against the ropes and hit a double suicide dive on Toxin as the crowd roars…..

 

Myers: “They are showing tag team prowess and what better way to start the match fast paced and Toxin on their toes!”

 

Cash: “Selena is a vet but it looks like the two had a little pep talk before the match, the veterans are in control right now.”

 

Persephone and Kaycee are on the mats, Selena picks up Persephone and rolls her into the ring, she slides in after her. Selena picks her up by the hair and forearms her before throwing her against the turnbuckle and following through with a handspring elbow, then a bulldog, turning her over for the cover….

Persephone kicks out!

 

Kaycee has made it back to the corner. She screams at Persephone who Selena picks up again and locks her in a headlock, and tags in Ricky. The two twist Persephone’s arms, flipping her over and dropping matching leg drops on her arms, crowd roars. Kaycee screams at the referee and tries to get in but he tells her to back off. Ricky picks up Persephone and suplexes her, rolling on top for the pinfall….

Kaycee kicks Ricky off!

 

He gets up and turns to Kaycee who backs off then looks at his body and smiles, biting her bottom lip. She starts to run her finger down the chest of Ricky before Persephone comes up from behind and hits a reverse flying neckbreaker. Kaycee backs off and smirks as Persephone goes for the cover…

 

1!

 

2!

 

Ricky kicks out!

 

Persephone grabs his ankle and holds him as she tags in Kaycee who comes in, grabs the other leg and they both split Ricky. Peyton looks on, grimacing as Kayce and Persephone high five and giggle, rubbing noses before she gets back to the corner and Kaycee sits up Ricky, driving her knee into his back in a reverse chinlock….

 

 

Cash: “We have seen some back and forth, it looks like Toxin is trying to take control on some shenanigans but Ricky is an idiot.”

 

Myers: “He’s a tremendous athlete Cash! A stand out, why is he an idiot?”

 

Cash: “Do you see his girlfriend in the front row!?”

 

Myers: “How can’t I, she’s a talented and very beautiful young woman.”

 

Cash: “Exactly, so when THAT is sleeping in your bed why would you fall for Kaycee’s crap rubbing his abs and giving him googly eyes!? You're in a match. Keep your head in the game. So many young wrestlers fall for any diversion, any distraction. I would be yelling at him and telling him to focus right now. Be smart.”

 

Kaycee drives her knee into the back of Ricky, grinding it before she kisses him on the side of the face and looks over at Peyton and smirks. She picks up Ricky and throws him against the ropes but he counters, answers with a snap powerslam and hooks the leg for the cover….

Kaycee kicks out!

 

Ricky gets up and Persephone comes in, he quickly back body drops her, then sees Kaycee get up and kicks her before slamming her to the mat with a spinebuster! He covers her for the pinfall….

Kaycee kicks out!

 

 

Kaycee gets up, Selena throws a few forearms, stunning Kaycee. She stumbles back, falling against the ropes, Selena runs at the turnbuckle and runs up going for Defying Gravity but Kaycee drops to the mat, Selena lands on her feet, she quickly turns and Kaycee hits her with spinning heel kick knocking her to the mat. Kaycee screams at Selena who holds the side of her face, she picks up the Snow Queen and whips her to the corner and follows with a clothesline. She tags in Persephone who comes in and starts kicking Selena repeatedly, the referee gets in between allowing Kaycee to choke out Selena with the tag rope, the crowd boos….

 

 

Cash: “Smart tag team wrestling, Kaycee and Persephone are using the referee to get an advantage! Now they are in control, they have the chance to really score a big win here and let’s be honest, the veterans have controlled this match so far.”

 

Myers: “I have to agree, Ricky and Selena have controlled this match, Toxin needed something and they found the opening, bending the rules as much they can!”

 

Cash: They have the most to gain here. They need to make every opening count. Stay on them! Stay on them!

 

Kaycee lets go just as the referee turns around, she walks away, looking innocent, Persephone grabs Selena from the corner and hits a snap suplex before keeping the hold locked in and going for a second and then a third. Persephone gets up and waits for Selena to stand up before she delivers a bicycle kick. Drops down for the cover….

Persephone starts to choke her as the referee administers the count….

Persephone breaks the hold. She gets up and picks up Selena by the hair, slamming her to the mat hard, she climbs up to the second turnbuckle and hits a leg drop. Persephone doesn’t go for the cover, instead she picks up Selena and lifts her up, sitting her on the top turnbuckle and tagging in Kaycee who runs tot eh opposite turnbuckle, Persephone superplexes Selena with Kaycee timing the landing and coming down hard with a Frog Splash, hooking the leg for the cover….

 

1!

Ricky Kicks Her off!

 

Kaycee stands up and yells at Ricky. The referee tries to get him out but he yells words of encouragement before going back to the corner. Persephone heads to hers as Kaycee picks up Selena and runs against the ropes, she goes for a running kick but Selena ducks, Kaycee turns and Selena quickly runs against the ropes and hits Defying Gravity on Kaycee!

 

Myers: “That kick connected right on the money and I think Caprice is out!”

 

Cash: “She might be! She’s not moving and Selena almost took her head off with that kick, did you see the impact? She’s won many of matches with that move; she beat Quinne for the World title with that move!

 

 

Selena lies on her back for a second, looking up at the rafters, she slowly crawls and drapes her arm on Kaycee for the cover….

 

1!

3…No! Kaycee shoots her arm up!

 

Persephone jumps up and down as Selena looks shocked she kicked out. Persephone screams at Kaycee to get up as Selena shakes her head and stands up, she climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits a moonsault, hooking the leg for the cover….

 

1!

 

2!

 

3… NO! Kaycee gets her shoulder up just as Persephone tried to break the count.

 

Cash: Two count?! Two count!

 

Myers: Selena has won titles with that move and Kaycee somehow kicked out. This Toxxin team they're tough.

 

Cash: I think that's adrenaline, that's understanding the magnitude of this match. She's hurting, but she knows that if they win this match what that does for their career.

 

Selena grabs Kaycee by the hair and picks her up, she tags Ricky and whips her to the rope, she back body drops Kaycee right into the waiting arms of Ricky who powerbombs her. The crowd roars as Ricky looks out at the crowd while they cheer, Persephone comes in but Selena cuts her off with a huge spear, the crowd goes wild, the referee tries to restore order, Ricky grabs Kaycee and slams her to the mat, he hops on the apron and as she gets up he hits a flying forearm smash! Ricky looks at the crowd who cheers, he hops to the top rope….

 

 

Myers: “He could finish this just as the referee had restored order! The veterans have taken over and it shows, Ricky and Selena have taken complete control and Toxin is reeling!”

 

Cash: “Kaycee Caprice has taken a beating and Persephone can’t get in the match! Any more damage and this is it, Ricky looking to end this now!”

 

 

Going for the Double Stomp but Persephone grabs his leg, he kicks her off and launches giving enough time for Kaycee to roll out, he lands on his feet and rolls forward, through and turns for Kayce to catch him with a reverse kick knocking him to the mats. Kaycee dives and tags Persephone who comes in and grabs Ricky, she quickly hits another Bicycle Kick, Ricky falls back to the ropes only to bounce back and Persephone hits another knocking him to the mats, she goes for the cover….

1!

 

2!

 

3… NO! Persephone Kicks Out!

 

 

Cash: “Toxin is taking a beating but they are tough as nails! Persephone and Kaycee hanging on with the veterans!”

 

Myers: "That's the unknown factor coming into play. Selena and Ricky didn't have much on these guys. They didn't know they were this tough. And now they're showing the world. This is beautiful wrestling. I'm so happy I'm here though. I would be losing it if it was one of my wrestlers.

 

 

Persephone stands only to be kicked in the stomach, she gets a blind tag from Kaycee, Selena doesn’t know, she kicks Persephone in the gut and goes for a snap suplex but Persephone lifts her up, carrying her over on the shoulders of Kaycee, they quickly spin Selena to the mats, the crowd ooh’s as Kaycee covers her for the pin…

 

1!

 

2!

 

3…. NO! Selena Kicks Out!

 

Kaycee and Persephone look at one another in disbelief, they grab Selena and double whip her toward the ropes but she blind tags Ricky in, they don’t see and turn where he flapjacks both of them as the crowd roars. Ricky kips up, He grabs both of Toxin, locks them in front face locks and goes for a double suplex, the girls land hard on the mat as he runs against the ropes and tries a double clothesline but Persephone ducks, Kaycee takes the brunt!

 

 

Cash: “He took Caprice head off!”

 

Myers: “She may be unconscious, Persephone avoided the strike and they are dominating!”

 

 

Ricky turns and Persephone kicks him right in the face, he staggers back and she delivers a DDT but just as she gets up Selena strikes with a hard clothesline! Persephone falls on the mat and then out of the ring but Kaycee slowly stands up and Selena sets up to hit the Glass Shard. She strikes but Kaycee ducks and hits Ricky instead just as he was getting to his feet!

 

 

Cash: “Shades of Retribution!”

 

Myers: “Selena got overzealous and now she’s shocked and wait!”

 

 

Selena takes her eye off Kaycee for a moment and Kaycee quickly dropkicks the small of Selena's back and that takes her through the middle rope and to the outside. Kaycee collapses on the mat but then she slaps it a few times, causing the crowd to cheer a bit. She uses the ropes to get up and she sizes up Ricky, stalking him. Ricky slowly gets to his feet and when she does, Kaycee charges and lands the Poison Dart! Ricky drops as does Kaycee, but she quickly crawls over to pin Ricky! Selena tries to enter but Persephone is seen holding onto her for dear life.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

 

Kaycee slowly rolls off and is heard yelling. “One More Diamond" hits the PA system. Carlton is seen jumping up and down as the crowd is stunned. Persephone is seen letting go of Selena and then sliding into the ring. Persephone and Kaycee exchange looks as if both are going to cry. They yell in unison before hugging; Carlton enters the ring.

 

Eli: The winner of this match....Toxxin!

 

Toxxin continue to hold each other tightly before standing up, The referee soon raises the hands of both girls along with Carlton as the crowd continues to look on, shocked.

 

Cash: Holy crap....That. Just. Happened. Listen to the crowd...they're stunned. They can't believe it.

 

Myers: “Persephone and Kaycee Caprice just walked into this event and they just beat the number one contender to the SCW  World title AND the current UWA X Limits Champion. And all it took, all it took was one mistake. One opening."

 

Cash: “This is what these matches are about. These are the opportunities you have to take. Wow...there's not much to say. And Ricky and Selena brought their A game. They showed why they are two of the best. But...wow...what a HUGE win...what a night!

 

Toxxin remains in the ring, once again hugging each other as Carlton joins. The crowd is now heard clapping and applauding the efforts, with some boos mixed in. Selena Frost slowly rolls into the ring and checks on Ricky. Toxxin looks at Selena for a few moments and they have wide smiles on their faces. Selena looks at them as she attends Ricky. Toxxin look at Selena before blowing her a kiss and rolling out of the ring.

 

Myers: Toxxin's tactics weren't by the book, but a win is a win.

 

Cash: And Selena won't like those tactics, which is understandable. But she knows now how good Toxxin is. Last year, it was Ricky and Celeste Mallory trying everything they could to get the big win. This year, Toxxin got it. Game recognizes game.

 

Toxin again celebrate going to the back, hurt and beaten up. However, they still have the energy to embrace and rejoice in their win as Carlton does as well. Ricky sits up, holding his face, Peyton looks on as Toxin makes their way to the back. Selena checks on Ricky and helps him up but he pushes her away. Much to her shock, she backs up and tries to explain what happened, Peyton Rice jumps the barrier and slides in, getting in between them and trying to calm Ricky down….

 

Myers: “And Ricky is NOT happy!”

 

Cash: He wanted to win. Everyone wants to win, but especially him after coming so close last year.

 

Ricky is being calmed down by Peyton, Selena tries to apologize and Ricky simply looks on for a bit. After a few moments, Ricky nods and looks remorseful. Selena sticks out her hand to Ricky. Ricky looks at it for a momet before looking at the crowd, as they eoncurage him to take it. The crowd stands up and cheers as Ricky and Selena then shake hands.

 

Crowd: COME BACK NEXT YEAR! COME BACK NEXT YEAR! COME BACK NEXT YEAR!

 

Ricky looks around at the crowd as Peyton smiles.

 

Cash: Ricky became a made man in this area last year. They absolutely love this kid.

 

Myers: And for good reason. A bit frustrated but these people are once again showing their love and appreciation for Ricky Octavius.

 

Ricky and Selena exchange a few words before both Ricky and Peyton exist out of the ring and start heading to the back. As they walk back, Ricky turns around mid way and waves at the crowd, acknowledging their cheers, before the two walk to the back. Selena soon exists the ring and heads to the back as well.

_____________________________________________________________________________

We then cut back to ringside as "Dreams" plays over the PA system.

 

Cash: Man, what a match. I'm still stunned. I'm still processing what just happened. I need to get Toxxin's number ASAP. I know Carlton there but come on, after what they just did? Every company needs to be lining up to sign these guys.

 

Myers: "And you saw Ricky Octavius. He really wanted this match, That's what this shows brings. It's a rare chance to put yourself on the map with one match. Toxxin did just that. Toxxin wins and what a huge win for those two coming out of the Thunderdome.”

 

Cash: “I tip my cap to them. Two girls that took a beating but they won the match and that’s what counts, huge win for Toxin and tough break for Selena and Ricky, especially Ricky. But hey, he's Teflon in this city. That counts for something.

 

We then cut to see six shots of those at the CityCon events at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The fans in the six rooms are jumping up and down and making noise.

 

Myers: Speaking of the fans, once again you see all the fans gathered together here. Two hours in and these people are still on their feet, cheering and making their voices heard. There's not much I can say other than thank you Bay Area and thank you everyone who is watching this on supremecw.com.

_______________________________________________________________________________

 

We then cut back to Franklin Myers alone. "On the Run" by Pink Floyd begins to play through the PA system. We are taken back to the SaboTron, where we see the blue select screen appear once more. This takes us to where all the icons are located. A few moments of scrolling go by before six icons are selected. These icons are then presented, with Ace Marshall's face noticeably X'ed out in red.

 

Voice Over: Semi Main Event: Days of Future's Past Lucha Libre Match!: Stacy Kissinger, Cindy Todd Vs Avarice, Tory Street and Maria Prado!

__________________________________________________________________

The crowd applauds as we're taken back to Franklin Myers at the announce table.

 

Myers: As you can see, my partner just left the booth here. He's heading down to the ring because our next match...this is one of the most anticked matches for the entire night. Days of Future's Past match. The second one. Originally, this was going to be Stacy Kissinger, the returning Cindy Todd and the SCW World Heavyweight Champion Ace Marshall against Tory Street, Avarice and Maria Prado. However, Ace Marshall showed up under the influence and was promptly kicked out by Dante. And so now, this is a two on three handicap match competed under Lucha Libre Rules. Which means that tags aren't necessary.

 

The camera soon cuts to ringside, as Trevor Cash makes his way up the steel steps and and then enters the ring. Trevor ask for a microphone and he's passed one.

 

Myers: And it looks like we're getting right to it.

 

Trevor Cash soon looks around and smiles.

 

Trevor: Alright, is everyone having fun?

 

The crowd roars. Trevor raises an eyebrow.

 

Trevor: That's good. I mean, really, we've see some really good action tonight. I mean, Toxxin. Whew. Those girls, They're making my heart sing. Thought I died and went to heaven you know what I mean?

 

The crowd laughs a bit.

 

Trevor: I'm serious. I was so tempted to follow them backstage and hand them my card....

 

A fan member soon shouts "You just want to f**k" to which the crowd starts to laugh. Trevor laughs as well.

 

Trevor: Haha no, I didn't mean it like that. This is not Magic Mike. I'm not going to give them a lapdance or anything. I'm a businessman. I'm a gentleman. I don't kiss and tell anyways. In all seriousness, what a match that was. Talk about making the most of your opportunities. I think they deserve some love for what they just did. They beat a current UWA champion and one of the best wrestlers in the world. So let's give them and really, every person that's step foot in this ring tonight a round of applause for how much hard they've worked for us.

 

Trevor puts down the mic and starts to lead the crowd in applauding. You can hear him mouth "Come on" as the crowd does oblige and clap. Trevor soon bends down and grabs his microphone once again.

 

Trevor: Everyone brought their A game. New, old, unknown, allof them. But, as fun as tonight has been, we're down to the final two matches..

 

The crowd soon boos.

 

Trevor: I know. I know. I don't want this night to end but all good things have too. But, that doesn't mean we can't end this show without a bang right?

 

The crowd roars.

 

Trevor: Actually, I shouldn't have said that. Now I'm going to have David Helms' attorneys busting down my door asking me to pony up for using his trademark. David, since I know you're listening, I promise it wasn't international. I'm just a small man on the totem pole.

 

The crowd laughs.

 

Trevor: I'm serious here guys. All joking aside...all joking aside, you guys are awesome with your costumes and your energy. And I know too that we got people who traveled all around the world to be here and that just goes to show that we are building something special and World Hazard is always going to be between us and the world. So honestly, from the bottom of my heart, thank all of you. And I'm not just saying this because my paycheck is going to be looking fat after this show...

 

The crowd laughs.

 

Trevor: But yes, two matches left. Days of Future's Past!

 

The crowd cheers loudly.

 

Trevor: Oh yeah, you guys remember last year. You remember that match>T his year's I have a feeling is going to be even better. Are you ready?

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Trevor: Let's get louder. I said, are you guys READY?

 

The crowd cheers even louder.

 

Trevor: Then let's go!

 

The crowd roars as Trevor walks to the side of the ring and awaits. The arena plunges into darkness as "Hail The Apocalypse" starts playing. As the darkness continues, suddenly, red and orange lazors begin to flash and it doesn't take long to realize the source. Somehow, Avarice is standing in the middle of the ramp, donning a white skull mask with a top hat, and a black jacket. In his right hand, he has a glove that's projecting the lazors, drawing oohs from the crowd. Along with that, there's three people covered in black cloaks surrounding him and one by one they all bow to him. Soon, Maria Prado also walks out as well with what looks to be like a bazooka. She walks over to the right side of the ramp and fires off a few shots of pyro. She looks on as meanwhile, the three men stand up to Avarice and bow to him before one of them unmask and it's revealed to be Pestilence. Pestilence grabs Avarice and says a few words to him before she, along with the other two men, depart. Avarice then walks to the left side of the ramp and plays to the crowd before the lights come up and Mama Said Knock You Out by Five Finger Death Punch plays.

 

We cut backstage to Tory Street, shadow boxing the wall and then unloads a primal scream. She's already in her ring gear and when she hears her music plays, she powerfully walks down the hallway. The crowd roars as Tory's face remains tightened and determined. Tory doesn't even bother looking to the camera, choosing to simply walk past it and then through Gorilla until she's at the ramp. Tory immediately raises her fist in the air and yells once more. The camera positions itself in front of her, revealing the shot of Tory in the middle, Avarice to the left and Maria Prado to the ring. They all look at each other one by one before they all walk down to the ramp. Tory strolls down to the ring as Maria and Avarice follow suit. Tory walks to ringside and looks at the crowd as Avarice slides into the ring. Prado jumps on the apron and then enters, putting away her bazooka to the outside. Tory Street walks up the steel steps and then enters the ring. Tory pounds her chest a few times and yells to the crowd. The crowd responds as she soon retreats in a corner, where Avarice and Maria are there. The crowd becomes very vocal as the three competitors take their chance to look around.

 

A few moments go by before the beginning of "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten is heard. Cheers are heard, though there's some boos as a small bit of fog rolls out onto the stage and the lights get somewhat darker. There's one white, sole spotlight shaped like a star appears on the stage. The familiar figure of Stacy Kissinger steps out and through the fog to cheers. She looks around, wearing a yellow and dark slate blue colored robe around her, the colors of Adrenaline Rush. She quickly walks down the ramp and slaps a few hands with the fans in the front row. She then stands at ringside, the camera does a 360 around her until it stops with it being behind Stacy's head, as she stares down the other three competitors in the ring.

 

Stacy completes her walk to the ring and slides in. She then stands up and goes to the center of the ring and slowly spins herself around so she can view the entire arena. She then removes the robe from around her, and glares at her opponents before her music fades. The crowd resumes with their vocal selves as Avarice is seen smiling at Stacy. Tory and Maria's eyes don't leave Stacy as Stacy retreats to the corner across the ring. The crowd stands up and roars, quickly chanting.

 

Crowd: CINDY! CINDY! CINDY! CINDY!

 

The chants grow louder and louder until suddenly, the arena goes dark. The crowd roars as static soon is heard throughout the PA system as the SaboTron's feed is also disrupted. The feed cuts in and out before briefing showing flashes of Willow Wilkes attacking Cindy Todd from the End of the Year Special Night 3 from December 2016 with a sledgehammer.

 

Mackie: She’s going to kill her, someone do something

 

The feed static once more before showing Willow placing Cindy on the announce table. She's seen climbing up the top turnbuckle with the sledgehammer. SaboTron statics but picks up with Willow driving the sledgehammer onto Cindy's chest, the announce table also collapsing.

 

Static.

 

Hunter: This is unbelievable… Willow Wilkes has just exacted her revenge on New Eden, and in doing so, has she just ended Cindy Todd.

 

A brief shot of Cindy, fallen, is shown before the static cuts off entirely.  The arena is back to being covered in darkness before we hear "Goodbye Brother" from the Motion picture The Prince of Egypt blare out throughout the PA system. The SaboTron reappears, this time showing us the screen from backstage. The crowd see four young, muscular men, shirtless with only what appears to be some Egyptian inspired, black and gold woven print pats. All four are seen gripping what appears to be a casket from each sides. The camera pans out a bit further and the crowd soon roars as we then seen Cassandra Mason along with  Avalon, Marley and Keegan of Sergalio. All four are wearing black and gold hooded outfits and even Marley's pet spider monkey, Bear, has been dressed in a white and gold outfit. Cassandra stares straight ahead at the camera, stone faced until she nods her head. The music picks up the pace a bit as soon, Cassandra and Sergalio lead the men to the curtains. The crowd roars.

 

From there, we cut back to ringside, where we start to see smoke fill up the stage. Soon, Cassandra and all three members of Sergalio are seen walking through the curtains and the soon make room for the men to bring the casket. Now we can see that the top of the casket is gold and blue and has a ton of Egyptian illustrations on top. Furthermore, on the side of the stage, we can see a metallic black and gold throne. The men and side by the sides as Sergalio and Cassandra also step to the side. When the music reaches its' apex, the top of casket is lifted up and a single arm is seen in the air through the smoke. The crowd erupts in cheers as "Judge & Jury" by Paul Dinletir now plays throughout the arena. The music plays on and the smoke eventually clears. In one swift motion, Cindy Todd rises up from the casket, revealing her face for the first time. The crowd reacts loudly as Cindy slowly runs her hand through her hair. Cassandra Mason and Avalon are there to grab her by the hands and pull her from out of the casket. There, we can see Cindy's Cleopetra-esue make up on her face, a black and gold halter top with black shorts with gold chain main covering them. Cindy looks out at crowd, a renewed fire lit in her eyes as she emotes controlled rage. Quickly, Sergalio lead Cindy to her throne to which she sits down. The four men then follow and then pick up the throne. Cassandra and Sergalio then lead the men down the ramp. Cindy doesn't take her haunting brown eyes off the ring, nor does she pay mind to the crowd.

 

The men soon rest the throne by ringside, where they slowly bring Cindy down to the floor. Cindy takes a moment to stare at her competitors before Cassandra pulls her up from her hand. Cassandra leads Cindy up the steel steps, where Sergalio have since jumped on the apron and begin holding the middle rope open. Cindy slowly enters the ring, where she then walks to the middle of the ring. The camera pans over to Maria Prado, who looks on as Cindy extends her arms to cheers. Cassandra Mason, Sergalio and the men soon walk to the back as Cindy then turns around and stares at Stacy Kissinger. Nothing is said between the two, but the two briefly turn the other way. Stacy stands on one side of her corner while Cindy leans on the ropes on the other side of the corner. The music soon fades and the crowd roars. Avarice and Tory look around at the crowd as they jump onto their seats.

 

Crowd: WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!

 

Cindy doesn't respond. Instead she stares directly at Maria Prado across the ring.

 

Myers: What a scene.

 

Trevor Cash then steps into the middle of the ring with the microphone.

 

Cash: Ladies and gentleman, this match is the second annual Days of Future's Past, Lucha Libre match and it's schueduled for one fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

Cash looks around before he continues.

 

Cash: Introducing first, she is represnting Global Championship Wrestling...everyoen THIS IS...MAAAARIA....PRAAADO!

 

The crowd cheers a bit as Prado doesn't react as she's focsued entirely on Cindy.

 

Cash: And her partner, from Oxford, England, he is a FORMER Cartel Nxt Gen Tag Team Champion. He is one of the most ta;lented free agents going today. Ladies and gentleman, weighing in at one hundred and eight pounds THIS is...AVARIIICE!

 

Avarice flashes a smirk on his face as the crowd gives him a respectful cheer.

 

Cash: And their partner, she is a member of the legendary Street Wrestling family and is also a former member of the Cartel Nxt Gen roster. She is also a free agent as well as a successful MMA fighter. Ladies and gentleman, pleae give it up for "Batt;e Born" TOOORY....STREEEET!

 

Tory raises a fist in the air before pointing at both Stacy and Cindy Todd. The crowd cheers as she puts her mouthguard in her mouth. Cash then turns to the other corner.

 

Cash: And their opponents, first, you all know her accomplishments. Former Untied States Champion, Former Women's Champion, Former Tag team Champion. She is one of the longest tenure members of the SCW roster today and she's hailing for the Great State of Texas; Dallas, Texas to be exact. Everyone, this is the one...the only....STAACY KISSINGER!

 

The crowd cheers, through there are some boos, for Stacy as she acnklowedges the crowd. However, the crowd then begins to roar as they know what's coming next.

 

Cash: And finally, her partner...her reptuation is well known. She is one of the most dangerous woman in the entire sport of professional wrestling. She is a living legend and her influence in this business goes without saying. She's from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. So ladies and gentleman, please BACK to the ring..."The Queen of Chaos"...CIIINDY TOOODD!

 

The crowd erputs as Cindy flashes a wide, sinister smirk. Avarice, Maria and Tory look on as Trevor quickly exists out of the ring as soo after, Avarice, Tory and Maria begin to cnversate among each other.

 

Myers: is is certainly going to be an interesting match up. The advantages between the two sides are pretty much even. Stacy and Cindy have the experience and the big match experience, but you can even see these two don't seem to be on the same page. Meanwhile on the other side, Avarice and Tory Street have a common goal to make a statement. The wild card here is Maria Prado. She is a protege of Cindy Todd, who is making a trimphant return to the ring. But this is Maria's chance to put herself on the map, her chance to show everyone what she is capabvle of. But she has to do that at the epsense of ruining the return of her mentor, Cindy.

 

The crowd antipcates who will start the match. Cindy and Stacy glare at each other. Few words are spoken before Stacy, almost unwillingly, steps out of the ring. As this happens, Avarice and Tory also step out of the ring, leaving Cindy and Maria in the ring together! The crowd roars.

 

Myers: Speaing of which, as my partner joins me here, look which two are going to start off this match!

 

Cash: Talk about rising to the challenge. That's what this match is about right? Here you go Maria. Your opportunity goes through the one person who taught you everything. Good luck!

 

Maria looks at Cindy as Cindy smirks. The referee then calls for the bell and the crowd intensfieis in volume. Cindy looks on and smirks. The camera fades out to see Maria's expression, which has now turned to anxiousness. Maria's eyes don't leave off of Cindy. The crowd chants for Cindy as she looks on and smirks. Cindy turns her head to the crowd, as does Maria. The two take a moment to soak in the reaction before Cindy turns her head to Maria. Maria then slowly turns and locks eyes with Cindy. Cindy begins to circle the ring as does Maria, the two never leaving contact with the other. Cindy takes her time, stalking the ring, watching Maria closely.

 

We cut to Avarice and Tory as they watch on. Maria and Cindy eventually stop in the middle of the ring. Cindy smiles widely and mouths something to Maria; the crowd continuing to be very vocal. Maria takes a moment to look around once more, peering out to the crowd.

 

Myers: The crowd has been waiting for this match all night. And it seems that Maria Prado is getting a bit caught up with how vocal they are.

 

Cash: Which honestly doesn't surprise me. She's been on the outside when Malcolm Cross was in the ring for big matches like this. It's a different animal when it's you in the ring.

 

Myers: And not to mention, he's staring across the ring from her mentor, who's making her return to the ring. A lot of pressure on that young woman.

 

Cash: it is but that's why you accepted the invitation to wrestle tonight. World Hazard is about matches like this. Toxxin made the most out of their opportunity. Maria has to do the same, even if it is Cindy.

 

Maria turns back to Cindy. Cindy continues to mouth out something to Maria that isn't picked up right away, Cindy takes a step forward and continues to talk to Maria.

 

Cindy: There's no need....there's no need for this.

 

Cindy takes another step forward.

 

Cindy: I'm back...I'm back.

 

Tory climbs up the middle ropes and starts yelling.

 

Tory: What the [BLEEP] are you doing? Huh?! Hey!

 

Tory continues to yell as Cindy turns her head to Tory as does Maria. Cindy then turns back to Maria.

 

Cindy: Don't listen to her....

 

Cindy then turns to the crowd.

 

Cindy: Don't listen to them...you don't need to prove your worth. You are valuable. You don't need this. I am the way.

 

Cindy then takes a step back and watches Maria as she looks conflicted. The crowd starts to increase in noise as Maria glares at Tory, Avarice, and the crowd.

 

Crowd: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

 

Maria observes the crowd motioning for her to fight Cindy instead of surrendering. Cindy crosses her arms and straightens her face. She sternly looks on as Maria scans the crowd.

 

Cindy: Maria!...Maria!

 

Cindy is now yelling at Maria loudly. The crowd remains persistent with their chants and hand motions. Maria soon balls up a fist and this causes the crowd to react. Maria stares at her fist and begins to smile. Cindy looks on with a nasty expression on her face. Maria takes a step closer until she's standing face to face with Cindy. Cindy doesn't flinch at all, instead glaring right back at Maria. Maria and Cindy begin to exchange words with one another that isn't audible to the camera. This goes one for a few moments before Maria takes a step back and loads up her fist However, she stops midway and then drops to a knee! The crowd boos as Maria surrenders herself.

 

Cash: What in the world?

 

Myers: Maria..she's bowing down to Cindy. Is she...is she taking herself out of this match?

 

Cindy smirks widely before bringing up Maria and then hugging her. We cut to a shot of Tory and Avarice with scowl on their faces, with Tory being the most animated. Cindy and Maria break their embrace before Maria then slides out of the ring. The crowd boos as Maria simply ignores them and begins to walk towards the back. Cindy watches her and smirks but as she does, Tory enters the ring and then blast Cindy in the back of the head! The crowd roars!

 

Myers: Tory from behind! She got Cndy from behind as she was watching Maria Prado exist the ring and head to the back. She's absolutely livid!

 

Cash: i would be too if one of my partners just walked out on me! But now this means that the odds are now even. 2 on 2. Cindy found a way to even the odds without moving a finger. But now, here we go!

 

Tory walks around the ring and yells at the crowd as they cheer her.

 

Crowd; [BLEEP] HER UP TORY, [BLEEP] HER UP!

 

Tory turns back around and quickly sees that Cindy has picked herself back up. The two don't waste any time and begin throwing forearms to the delight of the fans! Neither woman are relenting as they are firing away, holding nothing back. Cindy gets the upper hand with a knee to the mid-section, but Tory quickly recovers and unloads more forearms that stun Cindy. Tory grabs her and whips her to the ropes. Cindy runs back, ducks a clothesline from Tory. Tory turns back around and Cindy lands a hard forearm that staggers Tory. Cindy then grabs Tory but Tory pushes Cindy back a few feet. tory charges in, but Cindy, using her power, manages to lift up Tory in a Miltary Slam position. The crowd oohs.

 

Myers: look at the strength! Look at the power!

 

Cash: you can see why people worship her.

 

Tory tries to fight out of this position while Cindy manages to keep Tory elevated. Eventually, Cindy tosses Tory down back first into the mat. The crowd gives her a mixed reaction as Cindy looks around. She then turns back to Tory and picks her up by the hair. Cindy fires off an European Uppercut that rocks Tory before delivering another one. Tory staggers backwards before Cindy then whips her to the ropes. Tory runs to the ropes but then holds onto them just as Cindy jumps up in the air for a dropkick. Cindy lands on the mat and Tory immediately scurries to Cindy. Tory wraps her arms around the waist of Cindy and then deadlifts her up in the air and then sends her across the ring with a German Suplex! However, Cindy quickly pops right back up! The crowd oohs as Tory gets back to her feet and sees Cindy smiling at her. Tory charges and then clothesline Cindy out of the ring, with the momentum also taking her out of the ring as well!

 

As Cindy and Tory crash onto the outside, Stacy and Avarice both enter the ring and charge at each other. Avarice knees Stacy in the mid-section. Avarice then leans Stacy against the ropes and whips her across. Stacy runs the ropes and Avarice lays down, causing Stacy to gallop over him. Avarice jumps back to his feet as Stacy runs to the other set of ropes. However, Stacy catches Avarice by surprise and drills him with a single leg dropkick! Avarice hits the mat and Stacy yells to the crowd, who cheer her.

 

Cash: Fast paced action right here. Cindy and Tory are on the outside and then we got Stacy and Avarice going at it. Avarice wasn't expecting Stacy to lunge at him with an attack. That was a mistake.

 

Myers: Yeah when wrestlers come off those ropes, there's an added amount of momentum and speed that they gain. If you aren't careful, like Avarice in this case, you could get caught.

 

Stacy tuns and scores the first pin of the night;

 

1!

 

Avarice quickly powers out at one. Stacy stands up and stomps Avarice in the small of his back. She then stomps him again. Avarice begins to stir. Stacy picks him up and whips him to the corner, where she runs after him. Avarice uses the top rope to leapfrog over Stacy. Avarice then runs to the ropes as Stacy whips around, looking to locate Avarice. As she does, Avarice bounces off and then leaps onto Stacy, swinging her around and then to the mat with a Huricanara. Stacy hits the mat and rolls to the outside. Avarice quickly looks at the crowd, who begins to clap as he grins. He then runs to the ropes, bounces off and then soars over the rope rope and onto Stacy with a sommersault!

 

Myers: And Avarice takes to the skies and crashes hard on Stacy!

 

Cash: Once he saw where she ended up, he knew what he was doing next. Avarice has a very quniue approach to wrestling, but his best asset is his ability to take it to the air.

 

Avarice yells to the crowd before he grabs Stacy and then tosses her back in the ring. Avarice slide sinto the ring and covers her;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Stacy rolls the shoulder at an early two. Avarice rolls over and looks at the ref before he gets to his back. Avarice picks up Stacy, only to club her in the back. This sends Stacy back to the mat. Avarice brings Stacy up to her feet again and this time scoops her up ad drives her back down with a Scoop Slam. Avarice then runs to the ropes and lunges at Stacy, leaping up in the air and slamming hard onto Stacy's body with a rolling sention. Avarice covers again;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Stacy rolls the shoulder at two. Meanwhile, on the outside, both Cindy and Tory have begun to stir. Tory goes to climb on the apron but Cindy grabs a hold of her and then sends her shoulder first into the steel steps! The crowd oohs as Tory winces in pain, holding her shoulder. Cindy quickly grabs her and the sends her violently, back first, into the guardrail. Cindy doesn't waste any motion, grabbing Tory, before slamming her neck first to the guardrail. Cindy screams to the crowd as they give her a mixed reacvtion. Tory winces in pain.

 

Cash: Ouch, yeah that's not going to feel good in the morning. I've been there before. Hitting the steel steps, I mean. Not a fun feeling.

 

Myers: An absolutel mugging by Cindy Todd. She's been gone, but she certainly hasn't lost her viciousness.

 

Back in the ring, Avarice brings Stacy to a vertical base. Avarice whips Stacy to the corner across from him. Avarice then proceeds to run right at Stacy and Stacy sidesteps, causing the Englishman to hit chest first onto the turnbuckles. Avarice stumbles onto his feet and Stacy rolls him up;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Avarice powers out. Both competitors reach their feet. Avarice swings but Stacy catches his arm and locks hands with him. She then quickly scales up the turnbuckle with Avarice's hand, only to jump off the ropes and twist in the air, bringing Avarice down with a beautiful Arm Drag. As soon as Avarice hits the mat, out of nowhere, Cindy comes soaring from the top rope and drives her knee right to the chets of Avarice! The crowd oohs as Stacy rolls out of the ring so Cindy can cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Avarice kicks out at two!

 

Cash: Helluva of a knee drop by Cindy. Came out of nowehere. The cameraman didn't even catch Cindy climbing up the ropes until she jumped off.

 

Myers: She waited for her moment to strike. And that was some unintentional team work there by Cindy and Stacy kissinger. So far, there hasn't been much as far as teamwork goes but that's purely due to the frantic pace that we've seen so far.

 

Cash: Not to mention that Tory Street is still on the outside after Cindy slammed her into the steps.

 

Myers: And remember folks, this is under Lucha Libre Rules. Which means that once one member of a team is out of the ring, the other can enter and they would be the legal man. So tags aren't necessary in this format.

 

Cindy slowly gets to her feet and begins to smile. Avarice starts to stir. Cindy picks him up and drills him with an European Uppercut that flors Avarice. As he hits the mat, Cindy stalks him, preying on him almost. Stacy Kissinger is on the apron, watching as Cindy then stomps Avarice in the small of his back. Cindy then talks over to Avarice and then brings him up. Cindy lands a hard forearm that rocks Avarice, followed by another one. Avarice staggers but then fires back with a right hand. Cindy is briefly stunned as Avarice then scoops her off her feet. Cindy, however, slips behind Avarice. Avarice turns around and Cindy catches him with a Jawbreaker. Avarice staggers towards the ropes. Cindy charges but Avarice elevates Cindy over the rope rope but Cindy lands on the apron and then leaps off again before drilling Avarice head first into the mat with a Slingshot DDT! The crowd is mixed with their response but Cindy goes for the cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Avarice rolls the shoulder at two. Cindy rolls over and grins before she gets back to a vertical base. Cindy grabs Avarice by the hair and soon shoves him to her corner. Cindy glares at Stacy for a moment. Stacy doesn't flinch and instead offer her hand. She mouths off a few words to Cindy, who still has a look of disdain on her face. The crowd grows louder in anitcaption as these two continue to stare down at one another.

 

Myers: We wondered how these two would co-exist and right now we're getting an answer to that question.

 

Cash: And it's foolish too. I get it that these two come from different worlds and probably won't get drinks together afterwards. But when you're in the ring, it's business. Everything has to be in one swift motion. I don't care how many titles you've won. When you take your eye off the ball, you're giving your opponent the oppportunity to pick it up and run with it.

 

Cindy mouths off something to Stacy as well before finally slapping her hand with emphasis. The referee is there to confirm the tag as Stacy enters as eyes Cindy. The two then grab Avarice and then whip him to the ropes. Avarice runs back and the two lift him up and then send him down with a Double Flapjack! Avarice holds his chest as Stacy covers;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Avarice rolls the shoulder at two. Stacy gets back to her feet as Avarice starts to stir. Stacy slowly brings Avarice up and drills him with a right hand. Avarice stumbles. Stacy then lands another hard right that forces him to the ropes. Stacy twirls the right arm of Avarice before whipping him across buth Avarice reverses and sends Stacy across. Stacy bounces off the ropes and then slides underneath Avarice. Avarice turns around and Stacy floors him with a fast Spinning Heel Kick! The crowd oohs before they clap in applasue for Stacy.

 

Cash: Man, Stacy is looking really crispy in there. Haven't seen this in her in a bit but the way she's hitting hermoves, her timing, it's been perfect so far.

 

Stacy covers;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Avarice rolls the shoulder at two.

 

Myers: She's a pro. She knows how to fight and how to survive, as she mentioned earlier. She's proven that all throughout her career. And once again, she's been in big matches before. Cindy Todd has been in big matches before. Avarice and Tory don't have the experience factor. And if you've noticed, yes the pace is fast, but Stacy and Cindy aren't forcing anything.

 

Cash: Controlled chaos. Exactly. I would be telling Avarice to weather the storm here. Tory is still on the outside but she'll get back up. She's a Street. If you weather the storm, find your opening, you're back in it.

 

Avarice begins to stir as Stacy gets up. Stacy lands a stomp to the small of Avarice's back. She then gathers herself before she slowly brings Avarice to his feet. Avarice then fires a hard right hand that stuns Stacy. The crowd cheers as Avarice then fires off mutliple forearms shots. Stacy responds with a hard open hand chop to the chest. The crowdwoos as Avarice winces in pain. Stacy goes to run to the ropes but Avarice grabs hold of Stacy's waist and goes to toss her wth the German Suplex. Stacy put her right leg in between Avarice's left to block the attempt. She then softens him up with a few elbows to the side of Avarice's head. Avarice releases his grip. Stacy then lands a body punch that doubles Avarice over. She then lands another one. Avarice retreats to the corner. Stacy then climbs up the middle rope and yelsl to the crowd, holding up her fist. She looks down and starts to rain down punches. The crowd counts along;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

5!

 

6!

 

Avarice then grabs a hold of Stacy. The crowd oohs as he starts to carrying him away from the turnbuckle, Just then, Tory Street slides into the ring and then rings across the ring, shoving Cindy across the apron and onto the guardrail. Tory then turns back to Avarice and yells at him. Avarice twist his head and carries Stacy to the middle of the ring before falling backwards. As he does, Stacy falls forward. Tory is there to grab Stacy's face and drive her face into the both of her knees! The crowd erupts and Tory quickly scrambles for the cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Stacy rolls the shoulder at two! Both Avarice and Tory look at the referee in a bit of disbelief.

 

Cash: Oh my godness! That was just crazy!

 

Myers: Tory Street sprung into life and then just drove Stacy's face right between both of her knees.

 

Cash: That was like, what would you call that?

 

Myers: Looked like a flapjack into a double knee facebreaker. The impressive part too was how seamless they pulled that off. Without any warning too.

 

Tory and Avarice look at each other and nods as Avarice then rolls out of the ring. Tory then raises back to her feet as Stacy starts to stir. Tory waits for Stacy to get to her feet. Stacy starts to reach out for the ropes before grabbing a hold of the bottom. She then grabes the middle and brings herself up to her feet. Tory rushes Stacy, driving her back first into the corner. She then goes to work; unloading severeal shoulder trust to the mid-section of Stacy. The referee warns Tory to ceize to which she does, snapping at the ref. She slowly walks across the ring before turning around and running in, landing a hard clothesline to the chest of Stacy. Tory swiftly grabs Stacy and wedges her in between the top turnbuckle and the middle turnbuckle. Tory looks out to the crowd and they roar before she then exists to the apron and then climbs up the turnbuckles. Tory then turns her back away from Stacy before she drops down, dropping both of her knees to the mid-section of Stacy! The crowd ohhs as Tory grits her teeth.

 

Myers: Jesus Christ. Tory just drovve her knees all the way down on the gut of Stacy.

 

Cash: And she doesn't look down just yet.

 

Tory then rapidly grabs Stacy once again and this time lays her body back first on the top turnbuckle. Tory then goes to the apron and starts climbing up the top turnbuckle, with her feet slightly to the side. She turns around and looks out at the crowd. The crowd cheers before Tory jumps and drops her knees onto Stacy's gut, sending her crashing all the way from the top turnbuckle to the mat! The crowd roars as Tory then drags Stacy to the middle of the ring and covers;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Stacy kicks out at two! Tory turns to the referee before she gets to her feet. Tory immediately grabs Stacy by the hair and then lifts him up and down with a Snap Suplex.

Myers: Springboard 450 Splash from the inside of the ring! I don't think I've ever seen that before!

Cash: And she kicked out!

 

Myers: She kicked out. Stacy is getting blitzed here with big move after big move.

 

Cash: Pace, pace, pace. We talked about it last year. Avarice and Tory aren't being subtle. They're going for the haymakers. Cindy is down on the ground. They have Stacy isolated. It works if you put your opponents away. But Stacy's hard to put away.

 

Avarice takes a moment, still shaking off some of the effects of the beating he took earlier. The crowd anticaptes his next move as she brings Stacy up to her feet. Avarice lands a forearm that stuns Stacy. Avarice then scoops her up but Stacy slips behind him. This time, Avarfice has an answer, leaping into the air and nailing tacy in the back of the head with a Corkscrew Enzigiri! The crowd oohs as Stacy hits the mat. Avarice pins;

 

1!

Stacy rolls the shoulder at two. Avarice doesn't waste any time, pulling Stacy up by her hair. Avarice then forecfully sends Stacy to the corner. Stacy's back hits the corner hard and Avarice follows up by then running across and drilling Stacy in the head with a Forearm Smash. Stacy drops to the canvas and Avarice looks out to the crowd. They give him a respectful cheer as he turns around and stalks Stacy. Avarice smirks before he picks up Stacy once more.

She tries to fight both but Tory knees her in the mid-section and Avarice then clubs her back mutliple times. Tory adds a kick to the right shoulder blade for good measure. Stacy still squirms on the mat, holding onto Avarice's right leg but Tory immediately stomps on the back of Stacy repeadtly until Stacy lets go.

 

Myers: Look at Stacy, still scrapping, Still fighting.

 

Cash: Two on one, though. The numbers don't tip in her favor here.

 

Tory and Avarice nod to each other before Tory picks up Stacy. Tory scoops her up and then slams her hard back first into the mat. Stacy yells in pain as Avarice then exits the apron and begins to scale up the top turnbuckle. Tory clears out some room for Avarice. As he does, the crowd gets loud as Cindy Todd jumps onto the apron and then shoves Avarice off the turnbuckle and sends him crashing to the outside!

 

Cash: Cindy!

 

Myers: Cindy Todd, making the save here and Avarice landed hard onto the outside.

 

The crowd cheers as Cindy twist her head towards Tory and enters the ring. Stacy rolls to the outside as Tory greets Cindy with a forearm shot, but Cindy responds with a forearm of her own. Tory delivers a forearm, but then Cindy responds with a European Uperrcut that rocks Tory. Cindy then leans Tory against the ropes but Tory reverses and sends Cindy across. Cindy goes barreling to the ropes, bounces off and ducks underneath a Tory clotheslines. Cindy runs to the other set of ropes in stride, only to then strike Tory with an elbow smash.

Cindy then mantains Tory up in the air, using all of her strength. Five seconds go by and Cindy continues to hold Tory up as the crowd starts to count down the seconds. Ten more seconds go by and Cindy then slams Tory downt o the mat! The crowd cheers as Cindy gets the pin;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Tory rolls the shoulder at two.

 

Myers: Another display of power there by Cindy but Tory kicks out at two.

 

Cash: Amazing when you look at Cndy, right, and you wouldn't expect her to be so powerful. She's slender, good wingspan on her arms but it's her legs. Not in that way, but seriously power generates through your calves and your legs. That's why she's so powerful.

 

Myers: She's in tremendous shape that's for sure.

 

Cindy seethes as she turns to Tory, who's beinging to stir on the canvas. Cindy grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her feet but Tory slaps her arms away and lands a forearm. Tory goes to whip Cindy but Cindy reverses and grabs a hold of Tory's waist, pulling her lower to her. Cindy scoops her up and then down with a Powerslam. As Tory hits the canvas, Cindy gets up and starts to circle around the ring, the crowd roaring. Cindy smirks widely as she awaits for Tory to reach her feet. Tory is slow to reach her feet but eventually she does. Cindy goes to pounce but Tory catches her with an elbow to the side of Cindy's head. Cindy staggers as Tory holds her back. As she does this, Stacy Kissinger is on the apron across from Tory and she jumps off the top rope and drills Tory in the chest with a dropkick! Tory hits the mat and Stacy remains on the ground for a bit before she gets up and yells to the crowd!

 

Cindy sees this and once again, the two of them exchange glares at each other. Cindy then uickly grabs Tory and then whips her to the corner across from them. Cindy motions for Stacy to come to her. Stacy hesistants for a bit but eventually does. Cindy then sends Stacy across the ropes and Stacy nails Tory in the chest again with a Yakuza Kick. The crowd oohs as Cindy then runs across and delivers a hard clothesline. Tory stumbles forward and Stacy then grabs the head of Tory and stuns her with a Jawbreaker. Tory is stunned on her feet as Cindy then climbs up the top turnbuckle before then jumping off and connecting with the Missile Dropkick! Cindy gets the cover;

Avarice slides into the ring and breaks up the count before Stacy could stop him.

 

Myers: Avarice breaks up the pinfall right in time.

 

Cash: That was some nice teamwork there by Stacy and Cindy. But now, all four wrestlers are in the ring. Let's see what happens next.

 

Avarice starts clubbing on the back on Cindy but Stacy is there to stop him. Avarice gets up and starts landing shots to the mid-section of Stacy. Cindy then runs over from behind and decks Avarice with a hard shot to the back of the head. Cindy glares at Stacy before he picks uo Avarice. Cindy and Stacy both grab a hold of Avarice and then send him across. Avarice bounces off the ropes and both Cindy and Stacy duck down. Avarice stops in front of them and kicks Stacy in the chest before doing the same to Cindy. Stacy goes to attack Avarice but he ducks and pushes Stacy right on Cindy. The two hit heads and Cindy staggers. Avarice then grabs Stacy and tosses her out of the ring. Avarice then turns back around and runs at Cindy. Cindy lifts Avarice up in the air, but Avarice lands on his feet. Cindy goes for a punch but it's blocked as Avarice then leaps up and hits Cindy with a jumping kick. Cindy stumbles just as Tory Street gets to her feet. Tory then grabs a hold of Cindy and then stands her up and then down, almost on her neck, with a German Suplex!

 

Myers: German Suplex! She almost dropped Cindy on her neck.

 

Cash: A little extra empahsis with that German and that's what you need to do if you're trying to beat C-

 

Myers: Cover!

Cindy kicks out at two. Tory looks at the referee before taking a moment to gather herself. She holds the back of her neck as Avarice enters the ring. Avarice helps Tory to her feetbefore they both look at Cindy. Avarice and Tory pick her up and then shove her to the corner. Tory then drops to all fours as Avarice runs to the corner across from Tory. Avarice then runs forward, using Tory's back as a springboard to land a dropkick to the chest of Cindy. Tory then grabs Cindy and throws her over to the apron where she then grabs hold of her in a front facelock. She slowly daggles Cindy's body across as Cindy starts trying to fight out of it. Tory doesn't hesistant, twisting Cindy's body and driving her to the mat with the Whiplash! Avarice uickly runs to the opposite corner to block any attempts of a break up as Tory covers;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Cindy kicks out once again! The crowd cheers as Tory immediately argues with the referee about the count. Tory slaps the mat as the crowd turns up the volume.

 

Cash: Tory thought that was three but she's finding out firsthand how resilent Cindy Todd is. It's something we all know but I imagine for a wrestler, when you see an opening and you pounce on it, just for her to fight out of it, it's gets in your head.

 

Myers: And you can see it in Tory's eyes. She knows what this match does for her if her and Avarice wins. She wants to create her own legacy!

 

Tory soon gets up and argues the count one more time before turning away from the referee. Tory then looks at Avarice for a moment until he watches him get pulled out of the ring by Stacy Kissinger. Avarice lands on his feet when he goes to the outside. He goes to swing at Stacy but she ducks and then when he turns around, Stacy decks him with a Big Boot! Avarice is laid out on the outside as Tory starts to walk over to that side of the ring. Stacy then gets on the apron where Tory goes to swign at Stacy. Stacy blocks, then slides underneath Tory's legs to re-enter the ring. Tory spins around and widely goes for a clothesline, but Stacy ducks and Tory keeps runing. As she does, Cindy Todd is there to lower the top rope, sending Tory over and to the outside. Cindy gets to a kneel position as Stacy looks at Avarice on one side of the ring, before looking at Tory. the crowd erupts as Stacy pumps herself up before she runs to the side where Tory is at. Stacy bounces off the ropes and uses it as momentum to soar through the middle ropes and take down Avarice with Suicide Dive! Stacy, on pure adrenaline, picks up Avarice and tosses him in the ring. She then slides back in, then runs to the other side and takes out Tory with a Suicide Dive! The crowd stands on their feet as Stacy lies on top of Tory.

 

Myers: Stacy Kissinger is a woman possesed!

 

Cash: All match Avarice and Street have been looking for home runs and none of them have put away Stacy or Cindy. And now the veterans are starting to come back with haymakers of their on.

 

Myers: And look, Cindy! Cindy! She's got Avarice!

 

Back to the ring, Cindy grabs Avarice and picks him up as he struggles to stay on his feet. In one, swift motion, Cindy strikes, drilling Avarice in the jaw with the Final Cut! The crowd roars and Cindy falls on top of Avarice;

 

1!

 

 

 

2!

 

 

Avarice rolls the shoulder at the last second! Cindy looks shocked at first, the crowd only getting louder. Cindy's eyes grow wide before a sinister smirk grows on her face. Cindy holds the back of her head before she gets up. She peers out to the crowd and sticks her tongue out to them, yelling at them shortly after. Cindy signals for the end and turns to Avarice, like a predator. Cindy grabs Avarice and she goes for the Fade to Black but Avarice twirls out of it. Avarice then runs to the ropes and once again, Cindy leans down. But Avarice jumps over Cindy, grabbing both of her thighs and pulling her down with a Sunset Flip. The referee is right there to cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Cindy gets her arm up, but Avarice turns Cindy to her stomach so he can stand up with his two lands in between Cindy's arms. The crowd roars as Cindy struggles to break free, as Avarice is lookin to hit the Rich as Sin. Cindy manages to grabs a hold of Avarice's left ankle and twist it slightly. Avarice yelps in pain as Cindy then gets her legs free and then slides underneath Avarice. Avarice turns around and Cindy lands a hard forearm that rocks him and sends him through the middle rope. Avarice lands on the apron however. Stacy Kissinger gets back to her feet on the outside. Cindy goes to Avarice, but Avarice fires a forearm that give shim some breathing room. Stacy then grabs a hold of Avarice's right ankle wile he's on the apron. Avarice wihgles free and back kicks Stacy in the shoulder before jumping off the middle rope and then into the air and on Stacy! The two lay on the mats outside, down.

 

Myers: Avarice just wped out Stacy Kissinger with that Moonsault onto the apron. Both teams are just going for the jugglar. No one is slowing down for a moment. No one is relenting.

 

Cash: This is madness. Everyone has dialed everything up to eleven. And the crowd loves it!

 

Cindy soon drops to a knee as she's the only one in the ring. That doesn't last long as Tory Street soon slides into the ring. Tory holds the back of her head as Cindy then gets back to her feet. The two stare off at each other, with fire burning in their eyes. The crowd stand son their feet.,

 

Myers: And here we go again. Cindy Todd and Tory Street face to face.

 

Cash: All match these two have been going after each other. Tory talked about wanting a fight, well here you go. Go get her.

 

Cindy and Tory exchange words before they begin trading forearms. The crowd erupts as Tory fires one, then Cindy fires one. Then Tory fires one. Then Cindy fires one. Tory lands a forearm, followed by Cindy. Tory answers again, but Cindy is quick to answer once again. Tory fires a shot, then Cindy does, then Tory does, then Cindy does; then Tory does, then Cindy. Neither woman lets up as the trade forearm shots. Tory sends a shot, then Cindy. Tory yells before landing another one, but Cindy is quickly there to land another one. The crowd soon stops counting and just cheer as Tory and Cindy continue trading blows.

 

Cash: Cindy is not stopping. Tory is not stopping. So much pride is on the line. There's going to keep hitting each other until one of them goes down!

 

Cindy and Tory don't stop, with Tory sending another hard forearm but CIndy lands another one. This causes Tory to take out her moutguard and violently throw it to the ground before she fires a hard forearm shot. Cindy goes to attack, but Tory is quicker, landing another one. Cindy begins to stumble. The crowd oohs when they notice. Tory lands another right hand. Cindy tries to respond but Tory surprises her with a forearm shiver to the jaw using her left arm. Tory starts landing combinations of forearms with both of her arms that leaves Cindy on the verge of collasping on the mat. Tory takes heavy breaths as she looks out and yells. She then goes for a strike but Cindy knees her in the mid-section. Cindy then staggers before walking towards Tory. Tory, however, ducks behind Cindy and then gets her in position for the Street Dreaming! The crowd roars as Tory grabs a hold of Cindy's jaw while restraining the other arm, but Cindy fights off Tory's ability to take her to the mat. Cindy grabs her arm free and reaches for the ropes as Tory tries to bring that hand back to the back of Cindy. Cindy desperatly tries and tries to reach for the ropes as Tory yells and pulls Cindy closer to her. Soon, Tory brings Cindy closer to her, other to pick he rup and drop her on her head with a Back Arm Capture Suplex; but Cindy immediately pops back up with a primal roar!

 

Myers: Cindy just got back up! Cindy just got back up! Cindy just got back up!

 

Cash: She just got dropped on her head and she just got up to her feet. This is insanity!

 

Cindy has a sadistic smile on her face as Tory shakes her head in anger but she charges in. Cindy lands another knee strike to the mid-section. Cindy takes a step back and then goes for a strike but Tory lands a hard forearm! The crowd as Cindy staggers on her feet. Tory puts her hands on her hips, clearly exhausted. The crowd chatters and continues to make noise as the two competitors struggle to say on their feet. Tory then pops up and lands another hard forearm before spinning around and nailing Cindy with another hard shot. The crowd oohs at the impact and Cindy crumbles to the canvas like a ton of bricks. Outside the ring, Stacy Kissinger tris to slide into the ring but Avarice grabs a hold of her waist and prevents her from entering the rig. Tory sluggishly walks closer to Cindy before falling onto Cindy;

 

1!

 

Cindy kicks out at one! Tory's eyes grew widen as the crowd erupts. Cindy starts to stir.

 

Cash: She kicked out at one! At one! And look at Tory's face! Look at Avarice's face!

 

Myers: They're stunned. And look at Tory's forearms! They're beat red. All those blows to the head and it only produce a one count.

 

Cash: And Cindy's getting back to her feet.

 

Tory looks at the crowd before looking at the referee. Cindy gets to a kneel and then stumbls to her feet, still smirking. Tory has to use the ropes to pull herself up. Cindy soon extends her arms in arrogance, while trying her best to stay on her feet. The crowd roars as Cindy taunts Tory, daring her to attack. Tory staggers on her feet. She looks at Cindy with anger and determination. She shouts out loud before she laucnhes a roundhouse kick owards Cindy. Cindy ducks and when Tory turns around, Cindy levels her with an European Uppercutr! The crowd oohs due to the impact. Tory almost crumbles to the mat. Cindy stays on her feet and then lands another thunderous European Uppercut. Tory drops to a knee. Cindy then grabs her in a front facelock, looking for the Fade to Black. Tory, however, stands up, twirls the right arm and gets behind Cindy. She then wraps her arms around Cindy's neck, once again going for Street Dreaming! The crowd roars as Cindy sticks out her right hand as Tory tries to grabs it and place it behind Cindy's back. Cindy uses her long reach to reach for the ropes as Tory despereatly looks to grab the free arm. Tory fights and fights, but eventually shes uses her other arm to wrap around Cindy's neck, then grapevine sher down for a Rear Naked Choke!

 

Myers: Rea Naked Choke! Rear Naked Choke! She couldn't manage to get Cindy's arm behind her back, so now she's just trying to choke her out.

 

Cash: The Crossface Chickenwing is a really affected move but it requires a lot to execute. I love this. The RNC is just you simply trying to choke the other person out. Can Cindy get out of this?

 

The crowd increases in noise as Cindy tries to sqiurm out of this position. Tory is heard yelling, pulling back on Cindy's neck while making sure her legs are in between Cindy's. Stacy Kissinger continues to atempt to slide into the ring but Avarice still has a hold of her. Cindy uses her left arm to reach to the ropes. Her fingertips are about two inches away, but she can't touch them. The referee is in position, looking t Cindy, seeing if there's any signs of her fading.

 

Tory: COME ON! COME ON! GO TO SLEEP! GO TO SLEEP!

 

Tory yells at Cindy, with desperation inside her voice. Cindy's arm remains just short of reaching the bottom rope and soon, it begins to drop. However, Cindy begins to use her left leg and manages it to get it free from Tory's grapevine. As Tory locks in the choke even deeper, Cindy stretches out with her left leg. She dangles it around before she does make contact with the bottom turnbuckle. She then places her foot on the turnbuckle, drawing a mixed reaction from the crowd. The referee sees this and looks at tory, asking her to let go of the hold. Tory doesn't comply;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

As Tory lets go, her loosen grip allows Cindy to arch her back. This then gives Cindy the chance to push off the front of the bottom turnbuckle and use it as momentum to rolls out laying on Tory's stomach to now her face resting on Tory's stomach. Cindy then immediately wraps her arms around Tory's waist and then somehow picks her up as she stands up! The crowd oohs as Cindy now has Tory in position for a Tombstone. Tory tries to dangler her feet, but Cindy spins in the air and plants her on the top of her head with a Tombstone!

 

Myers: Unbelieveable!

 

Cash: How she had the awareness to do that is just unreal. Tory has given her everything she has and yet, somehow, someway, Cindy is still standing. Cindy is still fighting.

 

Myers: And the end looks like its near!

 

Cindy gives the crowd a throat slash as she holds the back of her head. Cindy staggers as she approaches Tory. She's slow to bring Tory up to her feet but when she does, she goes for the Hand of Anobius! Tory, however, grabs a hold of Cindy's wrist and tries to fight it off. Tory slaps the hand away and looks to be going for a headbut but Cindy decks her with another European Uppercut that sees spit come out of Tory's mouth! The crowd ooh as Cindy then grabs Tory's head and lands another one. The impact of this one drops Tory, slowly crumbling onto the mat, falling forward. Cindy looks dowt Tory and smirks before quickly turning her back away from Tory, placing her head undernerath her head. Cindy grabs a hold of both arms and turns around, elevating Tory and then down on her neck with a Vertabreaker! The crowd roars as Tory hits the mat, but somehow stays on her knees, clearly punch drunk.

 

Cash: Brual Vertabreaker by Cindy there. But look at Tory, she got hit and rolled to her knees!

 

Myers: But look at her! Look at her eyes. She's out of it.

 

Tory looks up at Cindy and motions for her to come on. The crowd roars! Without warning, Cindy immediately strikes, drilling Tory right on the temple with a superkick. Tory just falls to the mat. Meanwhile, Avarice tosses Stacy aside and tries to slide into the ring. He gets half way there but Stacy holds his left ankle. Cindy falls on Tory; a few inches away from Avarice;

 

1!

 

Avarice tries to fight out of Stacy's grip.

 

2!

 

Avarice starts flaining his arms, trying to make contact with Cindy. Cindy turns her head and looks at him.

 

3!

 

The crowd roars and the bell rings! Cindy smirks at Avarice before rolling off Tory. The crowd stands up and applauds as "Judge & Jury" hits the PA system.

 

Cash: And the winners of the match...STACY KISSINGER AND CIINDY TODD!

 

Avarice pounds the mat in frustration as Cindy Todd gets to her feet. The referee goes to raise her hand but she shoves him away and simply throws her arms in the air. Stacy Kissinger jumps on the apron and just glares at Cindy. Cindy turns and faces Stacy. The two don't exchange any words, nor flinch from their glances. Stacy is seen mouthing something before she drops down to the mat and starts heading to the back. The crowd begins to chant her name as she walks up the ramp.

 

Myers: There you see the crowd paying their respect to Stacy kissinger, who was marvelous tonight. Despite her name and her accomplishments, she wrestled with just as much fire and hunger as Avarice and Tory did.

 

Cash: She was great and I don't know if Cindy will acknowledge it pubilcy but she was the perfect partner for her tonight.

 

Stacy makes her way up to the stage and she turns around and waves at the crowd chanting her name. She smiles before then heading to the back. In the ring, Cindy staggers on her feet as she sees the referee tends to a fallen Tory. Avarice sits in the corner, staring up at Cindy. The crowd then notices from the ramp, Cassandra Mason and Sergalio walking down from the ramp and into the ring. Maria Prado is nowhere to be seen. Avalon and Marley quickly tend to Cindy, helping her stay on her feet. Cindy looks at them before textending her arms once more, with Sergalio and Cassandra looking at her n awe. the crowd chants Cindy's name, though there's some boos heard, as she bask in her moment.

 

Cash: Cindy Todd is back, folks. Eight months on the shelf and she came back and did that. She's one of the best to ever do it.

 

Myers: And the key was down the strech. She never got rattled, she never panicked. Tory Street went for the home runs and she came close. Anyone else I think she would have won but Cindy pulled through.

 

Cindy then slowly drops to the canvas and then rolls out of the ring. Sergalio and Cassandra Mason follow her as they assist her up the ramp. Once Cindy gets to the ramp, she turns around and Marley and valon raise sup her arms to cheers. Cindy lips her lips and smiles before she turns and heads to the back with the rest in tow. Back in the ring, a few officials are in the ring helping Tory Street reach her feet. Avarice is there as well to help. The crowd soon applauds and claps for both Tory and Avarice as the officals help Tory slowly slide under the bottom rope to the outside, where a few officials drap her arms around their necks. They begin to walk Tory up the ramp as Avarice is there as well, followng them.

 

Myers: Everyone here in the Bill Grahamn Auditoiroum is giving these two their just due. Avarice and Tory endured watching their prtner, Maria Prado, walk out on them and twoof the best this business has to offer and they left everything on the line. They didn't get the win, but they made an impresson.

 

Cash: And look at Tory and Avarice. They're battled and brusied. Tory can't even walk on her own power. This was fast paced and, really, a physical match. They wanted this moment. And that's what Days of Future's Past is about. It's about these young wrestlers getting a chance of a lifetime to defeat the best. Now they know the meaduring stick. Now they know what the bar is to become elite. We'll see one day if these two can get there.

 

Myers: They're both free agrents too. I doubt that'll last after tonight.

 

Cash: Oh yeah. I think these two earned a look from some of the big companies out there. Or at least I think so. I want to see these two mixing it up in SCW, GCW or UWA or wheverer becvause they can hang. They can compete with anyone.

 

The crowd continues to cheer Avarice and Tory Street as they're taken to the back.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Cindy's music finally fades out and it's replaced by "Enio" by Sebastian is played throughout the PA system. We cut to a few shots at the crowd, as they remain on their feet before we cut back to Myers and Cash.

 

Myers: An incredible match. A gutsy performance by two of the best up and coming talents in wrestling. A triumphant return by one of the best in Cindy Todd. Days of Future's Past II certainly was a worthy follow up to last year's edition. And this night, once again, has just been magical.

 

Cash: This is why for people like us we're in the business and why people in the crowd and watching at home are die hard fans. You can't find any form of art, I think, that's universally draws this much emotion, joy, fun than wrestling. You and I are here because of that.

 

Myers: Indeed. This night has gone by And we're almost there to the end.

 

Cash: Still have one more match to go and t's the match, I think has to be one of the most anticipated all year. Ever since Retribution everyone knew that one day this would be reality. Alexis Quinne. Dante McCaffery. No one thought this match would be happening a year ago. No one saw Dante turning his back on PUNK HAZARD either. Once and for all, this is going to be settled.

 

Myers: The time for talking is over. The time to reflect on the past is over. Alexis wants revenge for her and everyone that was in PUNK HAZARD for Dante's betrayal. Dante wants to build his legacy off the destruction of PUNK HAZARD. He wants to finish what he started.

 

Cash: He gets his chance right now. But I believe before that, I think they got you doing the honors right?

 

Myers: That's right.

 

Myers soon puts down his headset and makes his way from the announce table from the left side of the ring to the ramp, where from there, he begins to make his way down the ring. Myers smiles and slaps hands with a few of the fans before he walks up the steel steps and the enters the ring. A staff member tosses him a microphone from the outside and he bends down and picks it up. The music fades away and Myers brings the mic to his lips.

 

Myers: Fans, friends, World Hazard 2017...how are we holding up?

 

The crowd cheers as he smiles.

 

Myers: That's good because you guys have been so loud and so full of energy that I hope you guys are able to make it through the end. In all seriousness, once again, it's been a pleasure to be here tonight and have a hand in bringing this show to all of you. So thank you so much for showing up and supporting Bay Area wrestling.

 

The crowd cheers and applauds as Myers looks on.

 

Myers: And now, allow me to bring out some more people that contributed to this year's event. For the second straight year we have the onor of partnering with CityCon and we couldn't be prouder to see that partnership grow and grow. So could you guys please welcome Justin and Mirand Fields, the co-founders of CtyCon as well as once again, Mister Henry Cunningham!

 

The crowd gives a light cheer as soon, Justi and Mirand Fields walk out through the curtains, both in costume. Justin is dressed up as Naruto from the titular series while Mirand is dressed as his wife Hinata. The two look at the crowd and wave before the walk down the ramp. As they do, Henry Cunningham walks out, donning a silver tailor made suit with matching dress pants. He smiles as he also walks down the ring. Justin and Mirand soon slide into the ring as Henry takes his time. He eventually gets to the steel steps and begins to walk up every step before entering the ring. Myers then quickly gives the mic to Justin.

 

Justin: World Hazard 2017!

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Justin Ah man what a party it's been tonight. Last year we talked about how Miranda and I were hesistant when the ideal of merging our event with another. And even though this year PUNK HAZARD doesn't exist, thankfully this show was able rto still get off the ground and become bigger and better than last year. And all of that was possible because of the success we had last year, which is all thanks to every single one of you. I know it's been said several times tonight but we love how crazy all of you are and once again we want to thank you guys for making this year's show just as great as last year's!

 

The crowd cheers as Justin then hands off the mic to his wife, Miranda.

 

Miranda: It's so cool to see how we are all building a new yearly tradition here in the Bay. And the fact that all of you get to say that you started this, that's awesome. And what's even more awesome is what all of you accomplished tonight. And so to explain that, I'm going to pass this off to Henry here.

 

Miranda then hands the mic to Henry.

 

Henry: Hello, everyone!

 

The crowd gives a lot cheer.

 

Henry: I was surprised just now that some of you actually cheered for me. I figured none of you would have remembered an old fart like me.

 

A few laughs are heard.

 

Henry: it's a good thing you did because I didn't remember any of you.

 

The laughs get a bit louder.

 

Henry: Because, you know, I'm old like my kids like to remind me. Come next year I won't be able to talk into this microphone because my denters will fall out if I do.

 

More laugh are heard now throughout the crowd. Henry smirks.

 

Henry: But thankfully, we have a long way to go before that happens. Now. last year was a massive success. Something that neither I nor the city saw coming. So this year obviously we were excited for this event but we wondered whether or not we could build off last year's success. We wondered whether or not last year was a fluke. And I'm here to tell all of you that....

 

Henry pauses.

 

Henry: That this year was no fluke!

 

the crowd roars.

 

Henry: Because today, according to estimates, 30,000 people bought a tcket tonight for the show tonight! 28,500! If you remember last year, it was 25,000 people. So that's progress.

 

The crowd roars.

 

Henry: yeah! Yeah that's good. But here's the best part. This bhuilding holds 6,000 people. 6,000. And I'm proud to announce that every ticket to this building was sold before 2 o'clock this afternoon! So all of you sold out this building tonight!

 

The crowd cheers as Henry looks on.

 

Henry: And together all of you generated.....drumroll please.

 

The crowd does the drum roll as Henry and the Fields look on.

 

Henry: And estimate of 13.5 million dollars to the local economy. Give yourselves a round of apllause!

 

The crowd stands up and clap and various chants echo throughout the arena.

 

Henry: That's an improvement on last year, when we made 10.5 million. It goes to show that this is an event that people want to come to allover the world. And that this is an event where the entire Bay Area can unite together. Last year blew up away bt this year, this year affirmed to us that the World Hazard Festival is here to stay and that's why I'm announcing right now, on behalf of the entire city, that there WILL be another World Hazard Festival next year!

 

The crowd erupts and roars as Henry and the Fields roar. A few crowd shots are shown of numeous fans screaming to the top of their lungs, excited about the news. It takes a while for the crowd to die down but when they do, Henry speaks again.

 

Henry: Thank you for continuing to add and expand to the Bay Area community. And thank all of you watching at home and for all the numerous wrstling promotions that are sponsering us tonight. From us in this ring, to the state of California, to the entire world, from the bottom opf our hearts we say thank you!

 

Henry hands the mic to Franklin. The Fields and Henry look out at the crowd before they bow and then one by one they exst the ring. They head to the back, to which the camera then turns back around to Franklin Myers in the ring. All of a sudden, we hear "Astral Body" by Between me and the Buried" hit the PA system as we're taken right back to the SaboTron. We cut back to the shot of the blue-futureistoic shot of two race tracks racing each other, side by side. As they drive off, it pans upward to the select screen where icons flash through the before it stops on two.

 

The two icons they meet up in the middle of the screen and the crowd roars when it's revealed to be both Alexis Quinne and Dante McCaffery.

 

Voice Over: Main Event: the War to Settle the Score: Alexis Quinne Vs Dante McCaffery!

_______________________________________________________________________________

The crowd claps as Franklin looks around before he speaks.

 

Franklin: Ladies and gentleman, THIS is your main event of the evening!

 

The crowd applauds as Franklin pulls the microphone down. A few moments of dead air occur, which leads to the crowd to start chanting various things. A camera pans towards the crowd as they're up on their feet, making noise.

 

Crowd: ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS!

 

The chant is loud as we cut back to the ring. The referee is seen entering the ring as Franklin peers out to the crowd. All of a sudden, "A Stranger I Remain" blares over the PA system as the crowd erupts in cheers. The camera pan around the arena before stopping towards the stage. The lights inside the Bill Graham flicker black and silver. The camera holds o the stage, awaiting for the entrance of Alexis. Just then, we hear a roar from a section of fans. This quickly grows to massive cheers as the cameras pan over to Alexis Quinne, at the head of the aisle way in the crowd. She's donning a all black black that covers her head to her shoulders and on her face is a beige mask on her face and she's wearing a full body black costume; dressed like Lady Death from Marvel Comics. Along with that, around her neck is El Rudo's mask.

 

Cash: Oooh man. Look at Quinne! I don't know who she's dressed as, but you already knew what mood she would be coming into this. I don't think there's one wrestler that's been waiting for a particular match up than Alexis is tonight against Dante. And now it's being brought to my attention that she is cosplaying as the character Lady Death from Marvel comics and as the name suggest, she's the personification of death itself. How fitting.

 

Alexis extends her arms and looks around as fans start to surround her. There's security guards behind her, preventing them from impending her progress as she storms down the ramp to roars. The crowd chants her name and pats her on the back as she walks down the stairs, one by one; advancing towards the ring. The guards also follow her, trying their best to stop any potential fans from mobbing her. Quinne does eventually reach the guardrail and she jumps on top. She turns around and faces the crowd, who roars. Alexis then takes off the cloak and then slowly removes her mask before tossing it aside. The crowd roars when they see that she ha all while facepaint on with her eyes colored black and all of it designed like a skeleton, also like Lady Death. Quinne yells to the crowd as they somehow get even louder for her. Alexis looks around before she jumps off and then slides into the ring. Alexis paces around the ring, the emotion written all over her face. She soon pauses before turning to the crowd, looking around. Her music soon fades and the crowd continues with their deafening roar towards her.

 

Crowd: ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS!

 

Alexis turns around and looks at the crowd before retreating to her corner. Alexis climbs up to the top turnbuckle and takes off Rudo's mask and hangs it up around the ring post. Alexis sis on the turnbuckle, seething.

 

Cash: You can see there that once again she has El Rudo's mask around her neck. She's been wearing that ever since she returned to professional wrestling. And the crowd hasn't stopped chanting her name, either. No one locally has more love from their home community than that girl does for the Bay Area. And that is he reason she is treated like royalty here. Without her, this event probably doesn't happen.

 

Alexis' eyes never leave the stage as the corwd dies down and then begin to boo. Alexis ignores the crowd's reaction as she looks on.

 

Cash: Last year, she hosted this alongside PUNK HZARD. Alongside Dante McCaffery. Now, one year later, she's no longer the host. No longer the leader of PUNK HAZARD. All of tha is because Dante turned his back on her. And no-

 

Finally, "Out of the Black" hits the PA system to resounding boos. The stage begins to flicker silver and white with every sound of the drum as the camera then pans back over to Alexis, who grits her teeth. As the song kicks into gear, the SaboTron abrutly cuts to a shot of Dante McCaffery, sitting down on a chair, dressed in his ring gear; black slacks with his right hand tapped up. The boos almost drown out the theme as they watch as Dante sits in his chair stone faced. He stands up from his seat and slowly walks over to a coat rackmounted on the wall. There, he grabs his two ring jackets; the first one being a gold and black jacket and the second one he puts over is a black and red jacket with a fur collar. Dante soon walks over to a nearby bathroom and the camera positions itself behind Dante as he puts his hands on the sink and stares at the mirror. Dante's expression softens, almost as if he's thinking about what's to come. He rubs his face with his hands a few times before he soon turns around and walks out of the room. He begins his long walk down the hallway, with somewhat of a somber expression on his face. This doesn't stop the crowd from booing him as he gets closer and closer to the Gorilla position.

 

We cut back to the stage as the lghts continue to flicker. Eventually, Dante McCaffery parts through the curtains and steps ontostage. The boos only intenfisy. Dante looks around at the crowd. He peers out at the crowd before turning his attention towards the ring and directly at Alexis. The camera then positions itself from behind as he makes his way down the ramp. in the same shot, we can see Alexis sitting on top of the turnbuckle, staring. The camera then shoots from her perspective, shooting from behind her as we're able to see Dante's expression as he continues his slow trot down the ramp. Dante soon reaches ringside and begins to walk towards the steel steps. Dante looks around as the boos continue to grow louder. He takes one step up the steel steps, looking at Alexis throughout. He takes another step. And then takes another step. Finally, he gets on the apron and then slowly enters the ring. As he does, we can see him close his eyes once his two feet are inside the ring. He walks forward two steps as the camera zoom in on him, eyes still closed. We can see him taking a deep breath and once he exhales, he opens his eyes simulatously. His green eyes are piercing as the shoots expands, capturing him gazing at Alexis. The music soon fades as the crowd becomes anzious. Dante takes a moment to take a lingering look at Alexis before turning around to his corner. Alexis remains on the turnbuckle.

 

Franklin Myers then steps forward and brings the microphone up to his lips.

 

Franklin Myers: Once again, ladies and gentleman, THIS is YOUR main event of the evening!

 

The crowd cheers as the camera focus on both Alexis and Dante. Alexis' faceshows the anger on her face while Dante shows realization of what he's looking forward to on his.

 

Myers: Introducing first; she is from San Francisco, California!

 

The crowd roars.

 

Myers: And she is a former two time Women's Champion and a former SCW World Heavyweight Champion and she is the founder of the World Hazard Festival. Ladies and gentleman, this. Is. ALEXIIIIS QUINNNE!

 

The crowd erupts in cheers as Alexis drops down to the mat and leans up against the second ropes. Her eyes still don't leave Dante's.

 

Myers: And her opponent;

 

The crowd immeiately boos.

 

Myers: he is from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and he is this year's host of the World Hazard Festival. Ladies and gentleman, this is DATEEE MCCAFFFERY!

 

Dante doesn't react as the boos come raining down. He slowly removes both of his jackets from off his body and kicks them to the outside. Franklin soon exists the ring, leaving the referee, Alexis and Dante inside. The crowd's antipcaytion grows loud as the beginning of the match draws near.

 

Cash: Talk about intense. I think both know howpersonal this has become. They were invovled in each other's lives, their success for the last two and a half years. And now, it comes down to this. We talk about the future of wrestling a lot. On June 10th, Dante McCaffery turned 24 years old. Fifteen days later, Alexis turned 25. Two of the best under 25.

 

We then see Alexis slumped on the turnbuckles as Dante is standing up straight. The referee looks to both of them and sees a few words towards them until he signals for the bell to ring. The bell does. As the crowd roars, Alexis immediately spirits towards Dante and drills him with a dropkck to the chin that pushes him back to th corner!

 

Cash: Alexis! Right out of the jump! You knew that she's been champing at the bit for this. I don't see how Date could have been caught off guard. He should have seen this coming!

 

Alexis gets back up and quickly starts throwing right and left hands to Dante, who is covering up. The crowd explodes as Quinne continues to throw punchs. Dante eventually shoves Alexis down, but she rolls over and back onto her feet. She charges back in on Dante, only to meet a Big Boot from him! The crowd oohs as Alexis hits the canvas.

 

Cash: Big boot by Dante there! Stopping Alexis' momentum before she could really get going. Here comes Frank to join us back at the table. Frank!

 

Myers: This is already starting to get heated. Couldn't get hal way out of the ring before they started going at it.

 

Dante looks down at Quinne and an angered expression grows on his face. He picks up uinne and then violently throws her through the middle ropes onto the outside. Dante quickly slides out of the ring and picks up uinne. Dante grabs Quinne by the back of her head and then sends her back first into the guardrail. Quinne winces as she hits the mats but Dante then picks her up again and puts her in a side headlock. He walks towards the other side of ringside and then goes to send Quinne to the guadrail again. Quinne, however, stops herself before she hits and instead climbs up on the guardrail. Dante ees this and goes to grab her but Quinne jumps over Dante and then rolls forward once she lands on her feet. Dante whips back around and Alexis charges in and blast him with a forearm shot that staggers him until he's leaning against the guardrail. Quinne looks at Dante before she attempts to slide back into the ring but Dante grabs a hold of her left ankle, preventing her. Quinne tries to crawl forward but Dante won't allow her. She then finds a way to turn on her back and use her free foot to push her two feet off of Dante's chest. This leads to Dante going backwards and hitting hard, back first, to the guardrail. uinne then gets on her feet and runs to the ropes. She bounces off, full speed, and sommersaults through the top and the middle rope, crashing onto Dante on the floor! The crowd roars!

 

Myers: Woah! Quinne just took out Dante there with a little sommaersault tope. She normally goes for the Suicide Dive in that situation but she's mixing it up.

 

Cash: She's always bringing something new to the table. That's what makes going against her hard because her style is unique and fits only her and her size. And so that's why she can get a jump on you, even if you're Dante McCafffery, who was out there for all those big matches Alexis was in the past two years.

 

Quinne gets upto her feet and uses all of her strenght to pick up Dante and then manages to slide him into the ring. Quinne slides afterwards and then mounts him, landing right hand after right hand. The referee goes and grabs Alexis and pulls her off of her. Alexis then backs up, but then pushes the ref to the side and starts to attempt to gouge the eyes of Dante. Dante yells in pain as Alexis tries to drive her fingers inside Dante's eyes. The referee makes his count;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Alexis lets go and and shoots a look at the referee. Alexis then gets back to her feet while Dante rolls around the ring, rubbing his eyes. Alexis crouches down and motions for Dante to get to his feet. She starts to yell at him as he begins to make his way to his hands and knees. Quinne charges in, drilling Dante with a basement dropkick to the side of the head. Dante holds the side of his head as he rolls around the ring. Quinne doesn't let up, once again bending down and attempting once again to gouge at Dante's eyes. Dante tries to ply her hands off of hers, but she remains persistent.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Quinne lets go and yells at the referee. The crowd roars as Quinne backs away.

 

Cash: Quinne's like a rabid animal here. Going for the eyes, kicking Dante in the head. Doing whatever it takes.

 

Myers: That's her M.O., ever since the days where she was training at Golden Gate. She had to scratch and crawl her way to become a pro wrestler. Never afraid to break the rules.

 

Cash: She's gotten a lot of enemies because of that. Either way, Dante is getting blitzed here.

 

Quinne walks around the ring and paces as Dante starts to stir, rubbing his eyes. Quinne proceeds to stomp Dante at the top of his head. Dante rolls around the ring as Quinne stalks him. She then stomps him on the bridge of his nose and Dante covers up and holds his face. Quinne soon retreats to a corner and motions for Dante to get to his feet. She yells at him as he slowly makes his way to his feet. When Dante staggers on his feet, Alexis spins around and launches her right leg. Dante, however, ducks. Alexis turns around and Dante goes to throw a clothesline but Alexis ducks and runs to the ropes. Alexis runs back and stops in front of Dante and runs to the ropes to her left. The crowd roars as Alexis bounces off those ropes and then runs to the left. Dante, however, runs with Alexis and when she bounces off the ropes, Dante connects with a clothesline to the chest of Alexis. Alexis leans on the ropes as Dante then turns his back and runs to the ropes. He bounces off and then clothesline Alexis over the top rope and onto the outside. The crowd boos as Dante falls to the canvas, rubbing his eyes once again.

 

Myers: Quinne got caught! Dante put a stop to Alexis' onslaught and this is the break that he needed.

 

Cash: Quinne hasn't done that move in a while. The Quinne City Pinball. It's a weird move, one of the many in her playbook. But again, Dante has been up close and has watched Alexis' matches first hand. That move throws a lot of people off. It didn't with Dante because e's seen it.

 

Myers: And Dante's not wasting any time!

 

Dante rolls to the outside of the ring and he pulls Alexis by her hair. He stops mid-way and turns his head to a few heckling fans in the front row. Dante mouths off to them, shouting at them.

 

Dante: Shut the [BLEEP] up!

 

The crowd oohs and boo as Dante then turns his attention to Alexis. Alexis fights back with a few right hands that rock Dante. Dante suddenly knees Alexis in the mid-section and then takes her head and slams it to the guardrail. The crowd oohs as the side of Alexis' head hits the mat and then to the ground, holding her head. Dante continues to mouth off to the crowd before he violently pulls Alexis up to her feet. Dante then places Alexis' head between his legs. Dante then bends down and then lift her up. The crowd grows anxious as he holds her in a Powerbomb position. As he does, Alexis then fights back, raining down right and left hands, desperately trying to loosen his grip. Her eyes widen as she swings wildly. Dante then runs a few steps forward before leaning down, slamming Alexis neck and back first into the guardrail! The crowd oohs and stands in awe and concern as the back of Alexis' head snaps back and she lies on the mat, motionless.

 

Myers: Oh my goodness! Oh. My. Goodness.

 

Cash: Jesus Christ...her head just bounced off the guardrail.

 

Myers: Dante McCaffery just powerbombed Alexis to the guardrail. And she's not moving.

 

Cash; And look at Dante! Look at his eyes!

 

Dante sits up, seething as the crowd is hushed. You can hear him breathing through his nose, the anger brewing. Meanwhile, the referee slides out of the ring and tends to Alexis. Dante remains seated, panting and settling into his usual scowl. The referee is checking on Alexis, who finally begins to stir just a bit. Just then, Dante stands up and then walks voer to the referee. He shoves the referee down. This craws boos from the crowd. Dante then bends down and grabs Alexis by the right leg and drags her along the mats. He then picks her up and rolls her into the ring. Dante then slowly slides back into the ring. As he does, the referee does shortly after and he scolds Dante for putting his hands on him. Dante ignores the referee and just paces around the ring. He turns back to the ssection of the heckling fans and yells towards them. The crowd increases in their boos as Dante then kicks the bottom rope, mouthing off to the crowd even more.

 

Myers: And Dante McCaffery is lashing out at the crowd here and I've never seen him this animated before. And I have seen this man since his first professional wrestling match. Being in a foul mood isn't new to him, but this...this is different.

 

Cash: You booked him through his first year on the scene. But yeah, we talked about what this meant to Alexis. We didn't nearly talk about what this means to Dante. This is his chance to stake his claim.

 

Myers: You can see that, too. He has flat out admitted to not caring about wrestling, not caring about titles. People call it laziness. Grumptiness. I think the right word is apathy. He's not apathtic tonight.

 

Alexis makes small movements on the canvas as Dante walks over to Alexis and then turns her on her stomach. From there, Dante uses his two hands to blanatly choke Alexis. The referee warns Dante to release, but Dante doesn't.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Dante lets go briefly but then chokes her again to boos! Dante grits his teeth as Alexis struggles to breath.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

The referee physically pushes Dante away from Alexis. Dante then stands up and goes chest to chest with the referee. The crowd roars as the referee points to his uniform.

 

Referee: I don't care if you're the host. I don't care. I don't care. I'm the ref! I'm the ref!

 

Dante points at the referee before he backs away.

 

Myers: The referee taking matters into his own hands there. Between Alexis and Dante, both already have shown that they are going to break any rule necessary.

 

Cash: Which, again, that's what these two are known for. I don't think he's going to DQ any of them. This means means too much and everyone's been waiting for this. All this is, really, is him establishing his authority.

 

Alexis is heard coughing while holding her neck. Dante paces around the ring before he slowly brings Alexis to her feet. Dante then fires a right hand that drops Alexis back to the canvas. Alexis rolls around the ring as Dante looks at her. He slowly brings her back up from the mat and then drops her with another hard right hand. Alexis crawls when she gets on the mat and Dante follows her until her hands reches the corner. Dante pulls her up and then places a kick to the ribs of ALexis. The crowd oohs as Alexis drops to the canvas but Dante immediately picks her up and places her right elbow on her throat. Dante is heard mouthing a few things to Alexis but they aren't able to be picked up. Dante then takes a step back andthen lands another hard kick to Alexis' ribs. Alexis falls to the canvas, coughing once more. The crowd boos at Dante as he takes a moment to look around.

 

Dante then watches as Alexis tries to crawl for safety but Date stops her by placing his boot on the back of her neck. He presses down as Alexis yells in pain. The referee once again chooses to get pysical and pushes Dante off of Alexis. Dante shoots him a look before Dante then punches Alexis directly in the ribs! Alexis coughs in pain as Dante then lands another one as Alexis tries to cover up. The referee warns Dante.

 

Myers: And Dante is relentless here. Going after the ribs and the neck of Alexis in an almost brutal fashion.

 

Cash: Anytime someone goes for the ribs or the neck, then you know it's personal. Yeah you got your typical limb work that happens, but someone going after your ribs is trying to affect the way you walk, breath, move. It's hard to breath if you're getting choked out and when someone's targeting your ribs.

 

Dante looks out at the crowd once again as they boo him. Alexis continues to crawl around the ring as Dante continues to mouth off to the crowd. He turns around and then delivers a hard kick to Alexis' gut. Alexis yells in pain as she holds her stomach. Dante then drops down and starts choking her once again. The referee is there to yell at Dante and then count;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Dante lets go and points at the referee yet again. Dante then gets up to his feet yet again and then grabs Alexis in a front headlock. He puts her up and he never leaves his sight off the referee. The referee is seen talking to him before he then spikes Alexis on her head with a DDT. Alexis hols her neck as she stirs around the ring. Dante stays seated and points to Alexis. The crowd boos as Dante then gives the crowd a throat slash gesture. As he does, Alexis retreats to the ropes. When Dante gets to a vertical base, Alexis crawls until she's on the apron and then she drops to the canvas hard. The crowd oohs as Alexis hits the mat with a thud. However, the camera follows Alexis as she slowly crawls underneath the ring. The crowd cheers as Dante looks around, a bit confused. Dante then walks over to the ropes and sees that Alexis is noweher to be seen. Dante immediately starts to turn around, looking.

 

Cash: Alexis has vanished under the ring. And Dante knows it!

 

Myers: Seems like a desperation move here by Quinne here. She has a tendancy of doing this, even when she was wrestling locally. But Quinne is now under the ring and Dante is trying to locate her.

 

Dante stands in the middle of the ring, turning his body and looking around. Dante then looks at the referee before he peers out once again. The crowd chants Alexis' name as Dante shoots the crowd a dirty look. Dante then chooss to walk to the right side of the ropes. He looks down, thinking this is where Alexis will appear. When he doesn't see anything, Dante then turns to the referee and demands him to start counting her out. As he yells at the referee, Alexis soon slowly re-appears, holding the back of her neck and then her ribs. She slides firmly from under the ring and uses the apron to pull herself up. She then slowly climbs up the apron and then ascends the top turnbuckle. She struggles to stand up straight, but she does and motions for Date to turn around. The referee soon motions for Dante to do the same and this is when Dante quickly turns around. Alexis then jumps off the top rope and then drills Dante in the chest with a Diving Front Dropkick! The crowd roars, but upon impact, Alexis holds her neck in obvious pain.

 

Myers: Alexis! Catching Dante by surprise with that Dropkick.

 

Cash: But she's immediately holding her neck. Her head and neck snapped back on the mat hard afterwards. Probably not the smartest decsion but then again, she's so small, doing something like a Crossbody wouldn't be effective because Dante could just snatch her from the air. Let's see what happens next.

 

The crowd quickly erupts in Alexis chants as Alexis continues to clutch her neck. Dante starts to stir. Alexis crawls to the ropes and begins to pull herself up while Dante is also getting top his feet. Both reach a vertical base around the same time and Alexis greets Dante with a hard forearm shot that stuns Dante. Dante staggers and Alexis grits her teeth. She grabs his head and then sends a few more rapid fire forearm shots to his head. Dante stumbles on his feet as Alexis yells to the crowd. The cheer and Alexis prepares to run the ropes, but Dante quickl ygrabs the back of Alexis' head and then sends her down to the mat. The crowd boos as Dante then uickly pulls Alexis up in a seated position and then runs the ropes. When he comes back, he leans down and then blast Alexis in the forehead with a forearm shot! Alexis's head hits the mat hard as Dante then stands up and glares at the crosd for boos.

 

Cash: Ouch! Big forearm to the face by Dante there, capping off any momentum Alexis could get. Dante's not the fastest guy nor is he the most atheltic guy. But again, he has ability. Apathtic? Absolutely. But when he's in the ring, he knows what he's doing.

 

Myers: It's never a question about ability with him. He's long, lanky and smart. Picks his spots. True to a student of Alexander Grayson and Sharon Rose at Golden Gate. And you're seeing what he brings to the table when he;s fully engaged and cares here.

 

A scowl once again appears on his face as he then mouths off to the crowd yet again. Alexis slowly rolls around the ring as Dante then turns and walks to Alexis. Dante then steps on Alexis' neck and presses on as Dante looks out at the crowd. The referee demands Dante to let go as Dante glares at him. The referee counts down;

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Dante steps off before he points to the referee.

 

Dante: Shut up! I got it!

 

The crowd boos. Dante then walks Alexis as she tries to retreat. The crowd chants for Alexis as she continues to crawl. Dante looks on and then puts her right in the gut yet again. Alexis yells in pain as Dante then leans down and punches Alexis hard in the ribs before punching her again. Dante sees the referee coming to him and he stops. Alexis is seen coughing, holding her neck. Dante then slowly walks over and slowly brings Alexis to her feet. As he does, Alexis then fires a weak right forearm that doesn't do much. She immediately falls to a knee as Dante looks unfazed. The crowd's chants grow louder as Alexis struggles to her feet and then fires another forearm; once again weakly. Alexis clutches her neck as she falls to the mat yet agan. Both of her knees are on the mat as her head is down, using her right hand to now hold her ribs as well.

 

Dante: This is what you wanted right?! This is it! You wanted this! Come on!

 

Date motions for Alexis to get on her feet as his grits his teeth. He then shoves Alexis down as she tries to get on her feet. Alexis falls back fist to the canvas, but then slowly starts to get back upo. Dante remains abusive in his language, shoving her down, daring her to fight back. The chants for Alexis are thunderous now, echoing througout the arena.  Dante peers at the crowd cheering on their hometown hero. Alexis gets to a knee and we see the rage on her feet. Alexis then slaps the mat and in one swift motion, gets up and nails Dante with a hard forearm that causes the crowd to roar. Dante staggers back as Alexis lets out a scream, naling Dante again with a forearm. Dante stumbles backwards to the ropes, to which he uses them to then swing at Alexis, who ducks under. Dante sees that he missed and then whips around to Alexis then landign a right hand directly to his jaw! Dante almost falls over. Alexis goes to a knee, holding the back of her neck. She winces in pain from her neck and her ribs. Dante regains his balance and goes angry. He goes and charges at Alexis, who responds by placing a knee to Dante's mid-section. Dante double over. Alexis struggles to stay on her feet, but she uses the ropes to get to the corner. She sits on the middle ropes and pants before slowly running and drilling Dante in the side of the head with a running knee. Dante falls to the mat, holding his head as Alexis falls to the mat, holding her ribs and neck.

 

Myers: Alexis fighting back! Digging deep and finally has Dante down after was berating her, challenging her to fight back.

 

Cash: Which was a mistake. He got overconfident. Too cocky or perhaps caught up in the moment. It's hard to read his facial expression because Dante rarely smiles. Even with that, he took his foot off the gas.

 

Alexis holds her ribs as Dante starts to stir, holding her jaw. The crowd chants her name louder as she moves herself to the ropes. Dante starts to get to his feet. Alexis grabs the ropes and pulls herself up. Dante manages to reach at the same time. Alexis swings and lands a forearm shot that stuns Dante. Alexis takes a moment to gather herself and and then lands another forearm. Alexis holds her neck and then gives Dante enough time to shake it off and knee Alexis in the mid-section. Dante then clubs Alexis' back a few times before then leaning her against the ropes and whipping her across the ring. Alexis soon bounces off the ropes and using the mometum to leap into the air and take down Dante with a Flying Forearm. Alexis holds her neck and slaps the mat, yelling to the crowd as Dante begins to make his way to his feet. Alexis gets up, a bit faster than last time. Alexis waits for Dante to reach his feet and she once again launches her leg with a Spinning Wheel Kick. Dante grabs her leg this time.

 

Alexis hops on her free leg as Dante holds up. However, she uickly jumps up and kicks Dante in the back of her head with an Enzigiri. The crowd ooh sas Dante falls to the mat, face first. Alexis briefly holds her neck before using the ropes to pick herself up again. She then jumps to the middle rope. She waits for Dante to reach a vertical base. Dante does and she jumps off and grabs Dante, then spins him aroud and drops him on his head!

 

Cash: Dizty Tour! Dizty Tour connects!

 

Myers: But with every move, she's holding her neck, holding her ribs. She's hitting these moves, but not with the feriority or the quickness as she normally does.

 

Dante holds his head as Alexis is seen holding her neck, wincing. The crow dis on their feet, chanting Alexis as she looks to get up. She is briefly unable to, but then eventually does. She falls to a knee and motions for Dante to get to his feet. Dante looks as if for a moment, he's unsure as to where he is. He stirs around, reaching out for something. Soon, he stops and rolls closer to the middle of the ring, where he's able to then get to one knee. Alexis charges, looking for a Shining Wizard, but Dante ducks his head down at the last second. Alexis whiffs and Dante then gets to his feet. Alexis turns around and Dante doesn't waste any time, sending her hard to the mat with a STO! The crowd boos as Alexis holds her back as Dante rolls over and is seen seething. Dante holds the back of his head. He grits his teeth, trying to shake off the pain. He stumbles to his feet and soon drags Alexis by the arm. He drags her across the ring until she's laying on the bottome rope. Dante turns his back from her and mouths off to the crowd. They boos him as he grows more annoyed. He swing his right foot and then goes to swing backwards, but Alexis catche shis foot! Dante grows a concerned expression as Alexis then stands up with Dante's foot and his body still in front of her.

 

Myers: Alexis caught his foot! Alexis stopped Noah's Flood before it had the chance.

 

Cash: Alexis also knows Dante's mvoes just as he knows her. Alexis watches hours and hours of wrestling daily. She knew what was coming.

 

Alexis soon drops Dante's foot so it could hit the mat but then she uses her power and shoves her himforward a few feet. Dante stops himself. Alexis then runs away Dante just as he turns around. As soon as Dnate does, Alexis leaps up, launching both of her knees directly to his chest. The impact sends Dante flying a few feet until he crashes back first into the corner! The crowd explodes as Dante then falls to the bottom rope, completely dazed. Alexis clutches her neck but turns to her sides, feeding off the crowd's energy. She rocks back and forth until she's able to get to a vertical base. Dante soon pushes himself off the bottom turnbuckle and he leans forward. Dante falls to the side and crawls a few feet away from the turnbuckle. Alexis rises to her feet and screams before she drills Dante in the head with the Green Day!

 

Myers: Green Day by Alexis! She just knocked out Dante!

 

Cash: She took that from Dawn Lohan. She takes moves from her rials. Heh, another reason why people don't like her.

 

Alexis falls to the feet of Dante and then grabs the right ankle of Dante. She uses her strength to drag Dante away from the turnbuckle. Satfisied, Alexis then rolls tot he apron. The crowd jumps to their feet as Alexis slugglishly climbs up the turnbuckle, one sep at a time. Once she reaches the top, she holds her neck briefly before she steadies herself. She then jumps off and goes for the Quinnestinal Dream. Dante rolls out of the way and Alexis lands on her feet, but falls on her bottom immediately. Dante rolls towards the ropes slowly as Alexis holds her right ankle briefly. Dante gets to his feet as Alexis also gets to her feet. Dante goes to grab Alexis but Alexis hits a side elbow that stuns Dante. Dante actually staggers backwards until his back touches the ropes. From there, he uses the ropes as a way to penedlum off of and he then uses the momentum to clothesline Alexis in the back of her neck! The crowd boos as Quinne falls face first on the mat, yelling and holding ner neck.

 

Cash: BIG counter there by Dante. Avoiding the Quinnestinal Dream, then using Alexis' elbow to use it for the Messiah.

 

Myers: Dante once again knowing Alexis' tendencies. He's showing his toughness too. Taking all these hits by Alexis and being able to deliver another shot. Again, targeting the neck around that he set up when he Powerbombed Alexis to the guardrail.

 

Dante is seen panting, clearly exhausted as he looks at the crowd. Alexis' face paint is now smeared on her face as she starts to stir. Dante gets to her feet and then stands above Alexis. Dante ten grabs her by the waist and then deadlifts her up. He makes sure her two feet stand on the mat and from there, he lifts her up and throws her across the ring with a Release German Suplex. The crowd oohs as Alexis lands on her neck.

 

Myers: And then Dante just throws her across the rig with a German Suplex. I don'[t think I've ever seen that before from him.

 

Cash: It was so simple too. Just a straight forward German Suplex. Popped the hips and everything. It's new to us because he doesn't exort this much effort, but this is all things he knows how to do.

 

Alexis holds her neck as Dante gets back to his feet. Dante mouths to the crowd that the end is near and they boo. Alexis is slow to move as Date picks her up by the hair. He scoops her up and goes for the Judah. Alexis, however, slips behind and then wraps her legs around the left arm of Dante and then uses her two arms to hold the right arm of Dante. Alexis then uses her left elbow to elbow Dante in the head. the crowd roars as Alexis does this a few times before using her momentum to slam Dante on his neck with a Crucifix Driver! The crowd roars as Alexis falls onto the body of Dante's back. However, Alexis then steps over Dante's right leg and spins aroud, sitting down on Dante's arm and locking in the Dreadnaught Plata! The crowd erupts!

 

Myers: The Dreadnaught Plata! Alexis has the Dreanaught Plata locked in! She used the Crucifix Driver to set up the Dreadnaught! Can she make Dante tap out?

 

Cash: She's pulling that arm back too. She's got it locked in good.

 

The crowd cheers as Dante yells in pain. Alexis pulls on the arm and wrenches it backwards as much as she can. Dante tries to move his legs towards the ropes as Alexis continues to pull back. Dante is seen gnashing his teeth, desperatly trying to do whatever he can to do something. Alexis continues to pull back. Dante starts to swing his right leg, realizing that his legs are actually closes to the ropes despite Alexis having him grounded. The referee leans down and ask Dante does he want to tap. The crowd once again cheers on for Alexis as Dante shakes his head no. He cries out in pain and he's still swingly his leg. The tip of Dante's leg then come sion contact with the bottom rope and when it does, Dante sticks it out a little back more until it's firmly on top. The referee sees this and tells Alexis to break the hold. Alexis' face shows disappointment as the crowd also boos.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

Alexis lets go off the hold and then rolls off of Dante. She slaps the mat in frustration as she then holds her neck. Dante, meanwhile, rolls to the outside of the ring. Once he reaches the outside, he crawls on the mat, looking for safety. In the ring, Alexis looks at thereferee, his body labugage indicatig that she's drained. She uickly looks around the ring and sees that Dante is nowhere to be seen. A determined look then grows on her face as she rolls to the outside to see Dante, struggling to get up. Alexis collaspes to a knee just as Date reaches the corner of the guardrail. He fumbles  with placing his two hands on top but he does eventually pull himself up. Alexis sees this and gets to her feet. She points to Dante before she charges in and drills Dante with a dropkick! The crowd roars as Dante then collaspes; the guardrail being the only thing keeping him up. Alexis then gets to her feet as Dante's body than drapes over the guardrail. She grabs both of his legs and throws him over to the crowd. Those in the front row all come up to a fallen Dante, talking trash to him. Alexis then looks back to the ring before looking back to where Dante is. She then looks at the fans in the arena.

 

Alexis; Get out of the way! Get out! Go!

 

Alexis instructs them to move to which the fans uickly do. The crowd chatter among themselves as Alexis then slides into the ring, holding her neck. She crawls across the ring to the corner. She uses the turnbuckles to get up and then she leans on the corner.

 

Myers: What in the world is Alexis planning?

 

Cash: No one knows. She ordered the fans to get out of the way from some...no..

 

Myers: No...no! No! She's not going to..

 

Cash: No way!

 

The crowd soon ooh once they get what Alexis is planning. Alexis pants and snarls as she prepares herself. the referee is yelling at Alexis to not go forward with this. The crowd gro in anticaption. Without a moment's notice, Alexis runs across the ring to the corner, runs up the turnbuckles until she's standing on the very top. She then places one of her feet on top of the post. She then umpsoff, performing a Sommersault that clears the guardrail and onto Dante and several chairs surroinding them in the process! The crowd stands up in awe and roar!

 

Myers: Oh my god! Oh my God! Alexis! She just..she just jumped from the top rope to the crowd and landed on Dante!

 

Cash: What the...I don't know what I just saw! I don't know what i just saw!

 

Myers: No one in this arena knows what they just saw. Unbelieveable!

 

Alexis remains on top of Dante as numerous security guards soon block off the fans that are surrounding the two. They remove some of the chairs that are around them and check on both Alexis and Dante.

 

Crowd: Holy [BLEEP]! Holy [BLEEP!] Holy [BLEEP!]

 

Alexis is the first to stir, as does Dante. Alexis rolls over to her back, her lead laying on Dante's stomach. She tries to sit up, reaching out. Eventually, somehow, she does manage to sit up. Dante starts to stir as well. Alexis tries to grab the guardrail using her hands but struggles to lift herself up fully. Little by litt,e she inches closer until she's on her feet. The crowd roars as Alexis leans on the guardrail. She then bends down and uses whatever strength she has left to pick up Dante and thend rape his body on the guardrail. She then struggles at first but then grabs his two legs and sends them over the guardrail and back to the outside. Once she does, she then htrows her body over the guardrail. The crowd watches on as Alexis wills herself to dragging Dante as much as she can, which isn't that far. She falls over, battered and exhausted but finds a way to stand up, although she's not able to stand straight. She uses her power to grab Dante and somehow rolls him into the ring. Alexis rest her head on the apron as she then pushes upwards til her body is on the apron and then she slides into the ring. Dante, actually, starts to roll over and crawls to the ropes. Alexis, on her hands and knees, follows him by crawling after him. The crowd just looks on as Dante inches closes and closer to the ropes while Alexis crawls closer to him. Dante then grabs the middle rope and clutches them as Alexis finally get to him. Alexis remains on her knees as Dante remains groggy. Rage once again takes over for Alexis as she then fires a hard slap to Dante's face. The crowd oohs as Dante is knocked loppuy. Alexis gathers herself before slapping him again. Dante leans on the ropes, unable to move as Alexis uses the same ropes to get to her feet. She wobbles a bit, but then she sends a vicious knee to the chest of Dante. Then she slaps him on the top of his head. The crowd roars as Dante falls to his knees. Alexis staggers on her feet but turns around and runs gingerly to the ropes. She bounces off, without much speed, but gets enough to drills Dante with a Shining Wizard! Dante falls to the mat and Alexis falls to his feet again. The crowd roars as she fights as hard as she can to drag Dante across the ring. When she does, she uses the ropes to stand up and screa to the crowd! She then goes to the corner. The crowd leaps to their feet as she climbs the turnbuckle, one by one til she's at the very top. She glances back and goes for the Thousand Sunny. But as she lands, Dante puts up his knees and Alexis come scrashing down on them! The crowd is hushed shortly afterwars as Alexis rolls around the ring, yelling in pain.

 

Cash: He got his knees up! Dante got his knees up! How did he get his knees up?

 

Myers: I don't know if it was luck. I don't know how...somehow Dante got his knees up at the right time and prevented Alexis from hitting the Thousand Sunny.

 

The crowd just looks on and boos as Alexis rolls around the ring. Meanwhile. Dante turns and rolls over and sees Alexis in pain. His eyes are glossy but he stares at Alexis. This causes Dante to roll the other direction, towards the ropes where he then uses the bottom rope and the middle rope to begin pulling himself up. Alexis gets to her knees, but she appears to be exhausted. Dante gets to his feet and leans on the ropes, unable to stand on his own two feet. He continues to glare at Alexis. Dante pants before he grits his teeth. He charges in, and hits the Rapture onto Alexis! The crowd boos as Alexis hits the mat. Dante then lets out a yell as he then crawls to the ropes and pulls himselfup again. He's shaky once he's on his feet, but he moves forward and then slowly brings Alexis up to her feet. Dante then scoops her up and holds her in the air, stumbling over himself. But he manages to do a uick spin and then drop Alexis on her head with the Judah!

 

Cash: Judah!

 

Myers: Dante conencted with the Rapture and now the Judah!

 

Cash: He's now trying to crawl on top of Alexis.

 

Dante crawls and crawls. He looks at the referee and starts yelling at him. The crowd cheers on Alexis as Dante inches close until he drapes his entire body on Alexis. The referee drops down and makes the cover;

 

1!

 

2!

 

Myers: Dante! Dante!

 

3!

 

Myers: Dante!

 

The crowd grow mute as Dante yells again and rolls off of Alexis. The crowd is stunned as Dante lays on the mat, his head down on the canvas. A few seconds go on and the referee begins to check on Alexis.

 

Myers: ANd the winner of this match...DANTE...MCCAFFERRRRY!

 

"Out of the Black" finally hits the PA system. Dante remains on the mat, exhausted and hurt as the referee continues to tend to Alexis.The crowd just look on.

 

Myers: I don't blieve what i just announced to eveyrone here. Dante mcCaffery. Yes, Dante McCaffery defeated Alexis Quinne in this emotional, perosnal and physicla match. You're hearing me correctly ladies and gentleman. This is not a dream. Dante McCaffery is your winner.

 

Cash: No one in this arena saw this coming. Again, Dante has always had the ability. He has the skill. But he does not eat, sleep and breath this industry the same way Alexis does. Alexis spent five months going after him for this moment, for the chance to get payback for Dante ending PUNK HAZARD. And yet, at the end of the day, Dante pulls the biggest win of his life tonight.

 

Myers: The crowd hasn't even made any noise. They don't know what to think.

 

Cash: I don't know what to think. The only thing I can think of is that these two are two of the best under 25 in the entire world. And that Dante McCaffery, if he ever truly cares enough, can beat anyone in this sport. Repuattion aside. Put all of his comments aside, he showed the world he has the toughness, the endurance, the intellengence and the killer istinct to win.

 

As Dante remains on the mat, suddenly, Jack Parker runs down from the ramp with a gallon of water. He slide sinto the ring and opens up the cap. He tend sto Dante as soon, we see Ms. Budde and Mika Kozlov walking down from the ramp as well. Jack is seen talking to Dante, presumbly checking to see if he's ok. From there, Jack then pours some water inside Date's mouth. He then grabs Dante and pulls him up. Dante staggers on his feet. Jack then turns to the referee and demands that he raises Dante's hand and stop tending to Alexis. The referee argues with jack before Jack threatens to attack him. The referee then stands up and then lifts the arm of Dante to the capacity crowd, drawing massive boos. Mika Kozlov is seen on the apron, laughing as Ms Budde enters the ring. She smiles widely before hugging Dante. Dante rest his head on her shoulder, still glossy. Budde parts from him and then plants a passionante kiss on him. Dante soon falls to the mat.

 

Myers: There you see Mika and Ms Budde and Jack, celebrating with Dante there.

 

Cash: He will be hurting allover come tomorrow, but every bruise, every panul step will be worth it.

 

Jack soon ask the staff members for a mic and soon, one is passed in the ring. Jack quickly grabs it and smiles to the crowd. Alexis remains on the canvas, starting to stir a bit. The referee continues to check on her as Dante's music fades out. When it does, the crowd erupt in boos.Jack starts laughing, as does Ms Budde as she tends to Dante while Mika Kozlov watches everything on the apron. Jack looks around and points to his ears, provoking the crowd to boo even more.

 

Jack: I'm sorry...I'm sorry...what was that? What happened to the jokes? I got knocked out remember? What happened to those? What happened to those lovely chants?!

 

The boos only grow louder as Jack cackles.

 

Jack: What happened to your spirit, Bay Area huh?! It was all fun and games an hour ago. What happened?!

 

Jack revels in the massive boos.

 

jack: Maybe I can help you guys out here. You got knocked out, this si your part here..Clap, Clap, clap, clap. Come on say it!

 

The boos grow thounderous in volume as Jack smiles.

 

Jack: Come on guys!

 

Jack motions for the crowd to chant along with him. He stops and rubs his face.

 

Jack: Oh, I see what happened. I see. You all thought Alexis was winning this match. Right...right...well, you all were wrong because the WINNER of this match is DANTTTE...MCCAFFERRY!!

 

The boos remain loud as Jack laughs and further antagonizes the crowd. He then turns to Dante and bends down and hands him the microphone. Dante can be heard breathing heavily as he even coughs a bit. Budde is there to politely tap Dante on the back a few times. Alexis cotninues to stir in the ring. Dante continues to breath into the mic as he tries to get his barrings. Dante runs a hand through his hair as he holds the mic, still seated. He coughs a bit more and eventually, the crowd can hear laughter coming from Dante. It's uncharacteristic but the crowd just looks as Dante continues to chuckle.

 

Dante: Is this....is this what everyone wanted?

 

He looks at the crowd. They respond by booing him. He gives a wry smile, coughing perodically. Budde is there to help Dante eventually stand on his feet as she drapes one of his arms around her neck. Dante stares at the crowd.

 

Dante: Every single...every single one of you, right now...what did you think was going to happen? Every...single...one of you...thought I was a dead..man walking. Every single one of you thought I was going to get slaughtered. All of you...had this story in your heads as what was going to happen. This story in your heads...

 

Dante continues to breath into the mic.

 

Dante: Well, to each and every one of you...from the bottom of my heart, you all can kiss...my...ass because

 

The crowd boos louder as Dante resorts back to his usual scowling.

 

Dante: Because that is not the story you're going to get!

 

Dante grits his teeth as Budde and Jack look on. Mika finally enters the ring. The referee manages to help tend to Alexis.

 

Dante: Because all of you....you [BLEEP]people. You think you know EVERYTHING about this "business." You think you know EVERYTHING as to how I'm suppose to wrestle. I'm suppose to care about the things you think I should care. Every single wrestler in this [BLEEP] "business" thinks I should care about the things they care about.

 

Dante pants and coughs.

 

Dante: I tried to put the power in the hands of the wrestlers for this show. I said challenge whoever. Make it happen. Everyone talks about making impacts fihting and scratching for that one, shining moment. All of you questioned it. Some people that wrestled tonight questioned it. Said I was sucking up to Cindy, someone who I respect.

 

Dante coughs.

 

Dante: I have never met more...insecure people in my life than the wrestlers in this "business" and every single one of you!

 

The fans boos as Dante continues talking.

 

Dante: Because every day, every moment, you're thinking about what people think about you. What people are going to say about you. You worry about how much you have to gain, to earn to get respect from people who don't even like you. And all of you then turn around and tell me what I should do. What I should go after. Who I'm suppose to be.

 

Dante snarls and holds his chest.

 

Dante: You people think you know so much. About how everything works in this "business." You have no idea how this works. Just like a lot of people in this "business." They don't get it.  I could give you my spleen and all of you would [BLEEP] ask for more. I could dedicate every win, every title, to you and you would think it would matter. And then twenty years later, when my body is breaking down, you'll forget about it unless I made an appearance, a cameo. You all think you know so much about how this story goes. Just know one thing, none of you will ever...ever define who I am and what I decide to do.

 

It's at this moment where Dante then turns his attention to Alexis. Dante coughs and then takes a knee due to the pain. Budde is there to comfirt him as shortly, Max Kane is seen walking down the ramp, now in a blue and yellow Hawaiian shirt with a grey tank top underneath.

 

Cash: Max Kane is walking down to the ring.

 

Myers: I'm not sure what's going on here.

 

Max looks on as he slides into the ring. Jack hands Dante some more water so he can drink some. Dante then hands it to Max, who ask for the water. Mika quickly runs off the referee to which she laughs. The crowd grows worried when they see Mika, Jack, Max and Ms Budde standing in the ring as Alexis starts to stir.

 

Dante: I told you...Alexis...not to come after me. I told you. For my sake. But..clearly you took advantage of that. For my sake. But it makes sense. You're stubborn. You're a stubborn person. That's why we worked together so well. But I told you to read between the lines of what I was saying...and like you always do, you didn't listen.

 

Dante rubs a hand through his hair. As he does this, Max opens up the water bottle and starts spraying it on top of Alexis. The crowd boos massively as Max quickly stops and laughs. He looks around and throws his arms up.

 

Max: What's the problem? Huh? What?

 

The crowd continues to get rowdy at Max and start chanting things that can't be repeated. Max soon ascends up the turnbuckle and waves to the crowd and smiling. Dante just watches the crowd and looks on. Jack goes over to Max and pats him on the back before Max jumps down. Alexis continues to stir.

 

Dante: You came into this thinking it was going to go one way...but it's the other way. You and I...we went through a lot. But I am in control of this story. All I've wanted is to control my story. What happened at Retribution.....taking this show for myself and cutting you and everyone out, which the city supported because of the [BLEEP] you pulled. You knew, more than anyone else, that I would always have the advantage. You could come after me every show and you wouldn't gain any ground on me. You of all people should have known that. But you...

 

Suddenly, the crowd makes noise when two figures appear from the crowd. One of them is Piper Street, of UWA fame. And the second draws the most attention, the She-Beast Savali.

 

Cash: Woah, woah, woah that's...

 

Myers: Savali! Piper Street! They're from UWA. And they're here.

 

Cash: I guess they're also wih Dante too? What's going on?

 

The two look at each other and the crowd before they both slide into the ring. Jack soon wraps his arms around Piper's shoulder as Dante once again finds strength to stand up again. Alexis slowly gets to her hands and knees. Savali steps forward and yanks Alexis up and then lifts her in the air, choking her out with her two hands. The crowd boos as Savali then forcefully slams Alexis down to the mat, back first. Alexis holds her back as she turns around in the ring. The crowd boos as Piper mouths off to the crowd, pointing at Savali. Somehow, Alexis still gets back to her hands and knees. Savali takes a step back as Dante looks on.

 

Dante: This is the story you get.

 

Dante then walks up and kicks the right arm of Alexis, dropping her face first into the canvas! The crowd boos loudly as the shot captures Alexis gritting her teeth as Dante stands and looks on.

 

Dante: This is just a fraction. All of us here know what's really important in this business. Hannah, Jack, Piper, Max, Mika, Savali. We see the bigger picture here. Resources. Power. Control. Because without it, you can't protect anyone, let alone yourself. You knew facing me would lead to this. I have more friends, more allies than you ever will and this is not even all of them. It's a fraction. And because of that..right now..you can't protect yourself..

 

Dante soon drops the mic and glares at Alexis. Everyone watches as Dante stands above Alexis. The crowd just looks on, seemingly concerned about what's going to happen next. Dante looks at Alexis with disdain. He looks like he's about to attack, but he appears a bit conflicted. Jack is heard yelling Dante's name a bit as Dante seems as if he's battling something. Savali is then also heard talking to Dante. After what seems to be an eternity of Dante glaring at Alexis, he backs off. Dante rubs his hand through his hair and he looks at everyone in the ring. He turns to the corner where El Rudo's mask is mounted. Dante looks at it for a while before he walks up to it and grabs it. The crowd boos loudly as Dante looks at them with disgust before he viciously rips the mask apart.

 

Myers: Dante just...he just ripped El Rudo's mask!

 

Cash: Right in front of Alexis too. Insult to injury.

 

Dante, satisfied, drops the makes back to the canvas. From there, Max picks it up and then stuffs it down his pants, sticking his tongue out to the crowd. The crowd boos him mercifully. Max looks to the camera.

 

Max: Hey, I needed a new jock strap ok?

 

Max smiles as Dante grabs the microphone.

 

Dante: But what is going to happen is this. You trained, you prepared all this time to take me down. And you lost. Think about that. You love this and you love everything wrestling and yet you couldn't beat me. Guess what? I've never trained harder for a match than tonight. I never wanted to win a match more than tonight. I did what you always do, watch film rely on watching you, first hand for all of your big moments. Did you even do that? Probably not because you were too busy focused on revenge. This is not black and white. My future, my life, all of it is in my hands. With these bare hands, I will crave out the life that I want to live. I'm going after what I want to do. And that meant I had to end PUNK HAZARD. That means we had to get to this point. It wasn't easy for me. But I had to do what I needed to do. You had a goal tonight. And you lost. So...you're going to close MY show right now.

 

Dante bends down.

 

Dante: You're going to close out this show to all the people that cheered for you to beat me. You're going to close this show, like you did last year. And the only reason why is because I chose not to end your career right now. Whatever you do going forward is because of the whim I'm giving you now. I'm telling you this. Don't come after me. Don't try to fight me. Don't try to take me down because the next you do, I won't give you this whim. I've talked more than I wanted to. The rest is up to you.

 

Dante drops the mic in front of Alexis as Jack immediately raises his arm to the crowd. The crowd boos as Dante just looks on, letting it happen. Budde points to Dante as he then then slowly drops to the mat and slides out of the ring, holding the back of his head. Soon, Mika follows him, then Budde, then Jack. Savali and Piper soon follow suit as Max follows, looking at Alexis longingly. Before he steps out, Max walks up to Alexis and then kicks the microphone further from her reach. The crowd erupts in boos as Max throws his arms up in the air.

 

Max: Come on! This isn't charity! This isn't charity! This is not Make a Wish!

 

Max shakes his head in a sarcastic way before reaching down in his pants and grabbing El Rudo's ripped mask, to the disgust of the crowd. Max then throws it at Alexis before finally rolling outside the ring. Max follows everyone else as they head to the back. The camera shots Dante walking slowly, his facial expression remaining as stone faced as possible. He doens't even flinch as he simply walks through the curtains. Everyone else follows, with Max dragging on a bit. As he walks by the camera, he gives a quick wink.

 

Max: You're still here.....it's over. Go home...

 

Max soon walks away until he's through the curtains. Back in the ring, Alexis starts to stir. A part of her hair is still wet. She reaches forward, trying to grab the microphone. She weakly crawls to the middle of the ring. The crowd soon cheer her on in unison.

 

Crowd: ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS! ALEX-IS!

 

Alexis crawls and crawls until she's in the middle of the ring, with the microphone in her hands. She slowly turns her body to the side before sitting up. The crowd is deafening as they continue to chant Alexis' name. Alexis looks exhausted and beaten as she goes to speak. The crowd goes quiet quickly.

 

Alexis: A...a whim...Makes sense...since you can't pull the [BLEEP] trigger..

 

The crowd roars, almost drowning out Alexis as she continues..

 

Alexis: Because you know...there's nothing you or anyone could do to kill me!

 

Alexis breathes heavily into the mic as she winces with every little movement she makes. She runs her hands through her hair as she tries to gather herself. 

 

Alexis: So the next thing we face each other...because one day it's going to come back around, I'm going to rip your head off and everyone that assocites with you.

 

The crowd roars. She moves slowly.

 

Alexis: You know....there was a big part of me, when I woke up today...that didn't want to be here. I mean...a year ago, Rudo is next to me, Tabula is here, Grundy is here, Nikki is here, Vikki is here. All of us had put time, energy and money to make this happen. And...the fact...we're not doing this show again.

 

Alexis pauses, growing progressively angry. Members of the audience call her name as she speaks.

 

Alexis: Or the fact that...they're not here.. and knowing why...

 

Alexis slaps the mat a bit as the mic picks up her sniffling a bit.

 

Alexis: Those guys...I thought a lot about those guys today. All I could think about was winning and..and getting the payback that they couldn't. All I could think of is five months of losing my [BLEEP] mind of how it all went down..

 

Alexis continues to sniffle.

 

Alexis: I hate losing...I hate losing. Out of every possible scenario I had going into tonight, none of them had me losing. And I keep telling myself that even if I would have won, no matter what, nothing would change. PUNK HAZARD would still be dead. The knife that that asshole put in your backs would still be there. I know all of this but...

 

Alexis rubs a hand through her face as small tear begin to form.

 

Alexis: Five months. This has been the hardest five months of my life. Between this and all the [BLEEP] that's happening out here. Like today right..no one will probably speak about it using this platform but I will. Today, in Charlottesville, a bunch of pathetic, angry, cowardly, oppressive, racist white people. They marched down the streets. Because they believe that they are better because of their skin and they had all these flags. Nazis..Neo-Nazis, that happened. And that anyone that isn't is the enemy. That anyone who isn't white should not be in this country and that...they are ruining this country. Just because of they're not white.

 

Alexis pauses.

 

Alexis: People want to duck it. People want to act like it's happening in an alternative universe. People want to act like racism doesn't exist. That sexist doesn't exist. Everyone is so quick to jump in when the conversation is brought up because the truth is...there's a lot of people that don't want this conversation to be talked about. They rather have no one talk about it than for anyone to bring it up because they feel no one should. All of that pisses me off. The fact that our President can be so obviously racist and to know there's thousands of people who agree with him and will defend him. That pisses me off.  And then, I think about what I know about how this business, the wrestling business, works. The things that I believed. The things that I fought for. And in one moment, realizing that those titles, those trophies don't mean [BLEEP] because it doesn't fix the fact that my heart was ripped out of my chest like my friends were nor the fact that people don't care because all they see is my skin. And they hate me for it.

 

Alexis rubs her face, still sniffling. The crowd continues calling her name.

 

Alexis: And I feel like...with all of that...with all of that on my mind, I came here to at least get something back from Dante, for them. And I feel like I let those guys down. And the funny thing is...my mother wanted to come. She's never seen me wrestle live and...I've treated her like [BLEEP] for...probably most of my life. Thinking that she wants something from me, thinking she's telling me something's wrong with me, thinking she didn't understand me. Her and I have been..trying to talk and...

 

Alexis places both hands on the back of her neck as she struggles to fight back her tears. The crowd remains silent She sniffles.

 

Alexis: I've..I've been a [BLEEP] daughter....I told her..not to come, Because...I didb't want her to see me so angry. Especially given how much I've let out that anger on her for the last...many years. I'm glad she isn't here...to see me lose. I feel..as if..there's nothing really that I have. I don't really know what to believe, I can't stop being angry. But..there's one thing that I haven't doubted or second guessed..and that's where I'm from. Because at the end of the day, regardless...I'm a girl from San Francisco, California.

 

The crowd roars. Alexis remains seated, holding her neck in pain as they chant her name.

 

Alexis: And I reprsent the Bay Area.

 

More roars. Alexis breaths heavily into the mic.

 

Alexis: And the reason why I was at the Artist Alley today, why I'm here, even though a good part of me wanted no part of being here is the fact that this is home. And all of you guys are my people. Doestn't mater if you're from San Fran or Oakland or Sac Town or San Jose, together we make up this culture, this...this special place that's not based off our skin or what geder we are or social class or whatever. Our culture is our own. It's..something we created. I grew up on going to Fisherman's Park, going to Oracle, sitting on top of buildings looking at the Golden Gate. Which is exactly what most of you have grown up. No matter where we go or what we do or what we think matters, the one thing we can always come back to in this place. We can leave the Bay but the Bay will never leave any of us.

 

The crowd continues to erupt as Alexis begins to weakly atempt to reach a vertical base.

 

Alexis: And when I came up with this show, with my friends, we wanted to leave something in wrestling in which no one had ever done before. But now, I think one of the good things is knowing that this show, whether or not I'm hosting it or not, is an insutution. It's an event that brings all these different styles and mediums together. ANime, wrstling, fashion, the designed purpose was to invite everyone around the world to come here, have un at a Con while at the same time, getting on the ground floor and watching all these wrestlers on this scene that one day are going to be on TV and winning titles and [BLEEP]. And I wanted to make an emphasis on the fact that this wasn't just an American thing, you know? Because, again, I see a lot of people, a lot of different people..in the crowd from different parts of the country and to see all of you guys in the same place because of one event..that is what this show was suppose to be all about. I mean..you guys sold out this place, and 5,000 more people or something showed up today more than last year. That's [BLEEP] crazy and awesome and all of you should be happy about that. Seriously. give yourselves a round of applasue.

 

Alexis gets to a knee as the crowd stands on their feet and cheers. The camera pans around the arena to see numerous fans roaring and cheering.

 

Alexis: Oi, kikoeru...kikoeru ka?

 

The crowd oohs in surprise as Alexis looks on.

 

Alexis: Chotto, chotto, omae! Kikoeru ka?

 

The crowd cheers even louder as some realize that Alexis is speaking in Japanese.

 

Alexis: Gēmu wa.. watashi no makedesu..shikashi...tanoshikatta?

 

The Japanese speaking members of the crowd cheer as Alexis flashes a brief smile.

 

Alexis: Anata no ōku ga kon'ya ni arawaremashita. Watashi ga itsumo yaritai koto no hitotsu wa, nihongo o hanaseru kotodesu. Watashi wa dekiru to omotta koto wa arimasendeshitaga··· saishūtekini wa dekimasu.

 

The crowd roars and then some begin chanting Alexis' name. The entire crowd then follows suit as Alexis looks on.

 

Alexis: Watashi wa anata no nan'ninka ga sekaijū ni tonde kita koto o shitte imasu. Anata wa dokoni ite mo kamaimasenga, anata ga koko ni iru to iu jijitsu, arigato.

 

Applause is heard as Alexis respeftcully bows. She takes some time to wipe her face.

 

Alexis: Oi, oi, oi, Mōhitotsu! Rudo..

 

The crowd perks up when Alexis mentions his name. Alexis sniffles as tries to contain herself.

 

Alexis: Nakama da! Nakama da. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lost. Sorry that I could't get this for you. Omae o aishi teru..nakama da.

 

The crowd cheers as Alexis takes a moment. She looks at Rudo's ripped mask on the canvas and she reaches out and grabs it. She looks at it before she turns to the crowd.

 

Alexis: Hola! Como estas!

 

Alexis smiles a bit.

 

Alexis: Buenes nochas!

 

Alexis salutes the crowd as the crowd remains active.

 

Alexis: Yo, yo, yo, how many of you in this crowd right now, are from PR or Mexico or Cuba? Where are my chicos and chicas, huh?

 

A nice sized cheer is heard as Alexis nods her head.

 

Alexis: Muy bien. Muy bien. I almost feel bad that I know Japanese better than I know Spanish even though I'm part Spanish.

 

Alexis weakly laughs as the crowd follows with her.

 

Alexis: But listen to me. Listen to me when i say this. Sometimes we make a big deal about where we're from. I'm not Mexican, I'm Puerto Rican. I'm not Puerto Rican, I'm Columbian. I'm Cuban. But listen, none of that matters. Now, more than ever, it doesn't matter. Listen...no dejes que nadie te diga nada diferente. Eres hermosa, traes mucho color y sabor a este mundo y no permitas que nadie te haga sentir vergüenza de tus raíces porque no pueden quitarte eso.

 

The Spanish speaking crowd cheers loudly as Alexis continues to speak.

 

Alexis: And for those who didn't understand, I said, to everyone's that Hispanic in this building that they are beautiful and they add color and flavor to this world and that no one will ever make us feel ashamed for who we are because we have pride in our roots and you can't take that from us!

 

Alexis breaths heavily as the crowd erupts in cheers. The crowd chants Alexis' name once more as she holds on to the mic. She looks around and wais for them to die down.

 

Alexis: I've been talking for a while now. So I'll just wrap it up. Obviously, 'm not hosing this thing and I doubt I will be going forward. A lot of that is because of some of the stuff that I've done. Which is what it is. I'm pretty sure next year I won't be wrestling, but, if Justin and Miranda or the city fee llike they want me here, I'll be here to see all of your faces and hopefully more faces. As far as what happens next, well, you tell me. I'm not liked, which again, is based off things that I've done. A lot of those things I probably would do diffeently. I think some people want me to beg for forgiveness and that's just not how it works. People will decide whether or not they like me or not and whether or not they want to forgive me. It's something you give, not something you earn. I know what I've done but I'm starting to think that whatever good is, it's not based off doing random things until someone decides it's good enough. No one can argue on an amount, because it's based off a random number decided by people. Especially since no one will ever argue on how many or what are the criterias because everyone has a different opinion. Maybe it's not about what I get out of it but what I'm willing to give.

 

Alexis pauses.

 

Alexis: Either way, tthere's not many people in this business, even the ones that get loved, that are willing to even give that a second thought. When they hear me say that, I'm sure people will have a problem with it. I know that some of the things I'm hgoing to say going forward is going to piss people off. I don't really know my place in this whole picture anymore. I'm not sure where I belong or what should I even be doing in this business. Maybe I'll find out. I wll promise one thing. I will always fight, I will always speak out when people want to be silent. When people don't want to fight back. When people don't want to question why we do what we do. For the last few months I've believed in this buisness that you lose when you fight back. Nah, you lose when you stop fighting. Dante wants me to stop, a lot of people want me to stop talking. Here's the thing, both are going to have to wait because no one is ever going to stop me. I'm a Bay Area baby through and through and our DNA doesn;t have any quit in us.

 

Alexis drops the mic as the crowd erupts and roars. Alexis slowly gets to her feet for the first time, barely. The crowd continues to chant her name as she smiles and looks around the arena. She motions for the crowd as she then bends down and grab the mic.

 

Alexis: Uno mas..Uno mas..

 

The crowd oohs in interes as Alexis holds up a finger.

 

Alexis: I haven't done this in a while so maybe you guys can help me. Follow me here.

 

Alexis then makes a peace sign with her hands and flash it to the crowd. It's not long before the entire arena also has their arms in the air, holding their peace signs. When it comes to the Bay Area.

 

The crowd cheers as Alexis laughs,

 

Alexis: When it comes to the Bay Area...Japan, Mexico..PR....and Alexis Quinne...WE are forever and always..

 

Alexis holds the mic tot eh crowd.

 

Crowd: Killing It!

 

Alexis smiles as she bawls her peace sign to a fist.

 

Alexis: Killing it!

 

The crowd roars.

 

Alexis: Adios! Arigato! Thank you very much!

 

Black and silver confetti hits the air as "Dreams" by Beck hits the PA system. Alexis stands in the middle of the ring, looking around at the crowd as the confetti hits the ring. Alexis places the mic down and wipes her face as she gingerly starts to roll out of the ring.

 

Myers: Powerful. A powerful, revealing, vulernable speech there by Alexis. You can tell that there's a lot of conflict going on between her and herself. She wanted to win this match. She wanted to beat Dante. She failed but these people don't love her any less.

 

Cash: She's real. A lot of people don't like her. Understandable. But even when she started, she always expressed exactly how she felt at that time. I think a lot of people respect that and attach themselves to that as she's become one of the best in the sport. And she's grown up. She's no longer that girl that talked about having daggers in her room anymore.

 

Myers: That's true. And who knows what the future holds for her but I think while she has, in the past, been very selfish and uncaring, even in that, she's managed to play abig role in the rise of the Bay Area wrestling. A lot of this isn't possible with her being at the center.

 

The camera shows Alexis slowly walking around the ring. up the ramp, exchanging knuckle pounds with some of the fans. We soon also see Thomas Watson, who Alexis smiles. The two exchange words before they trade fist. Alexis then smiles again as she sees Taylor Chase in the front row. Taylor wraps her arms around Alexis for a moment before the two part and exchange words. Alexis nods befopre she walks past her and continues trading knuckles with fans and kids alike. She then slowly begins to make her way to the ramp.

 

Myers: And well, that concludes the second annual World Hazard Festival. An emotional, non-stop thrilling show that only the Bay Area could produce. Thank you once again to SCW for allowing this to be on supremecw.com and thank you all for watching at home and for everyone here who particpated in CityCon or watched the all day wrestling. It was a pleasure to once again call these matches for all of you.

 

Cash: Same here. If you've never been to last year's show or this year's, next year, this is the ticket you want to buy. No one parties like we do. Frank, it was a pleasure one again,

 

Myers: Couldn't agree more. Good night everyone and we'll see you next year.

 

The final shot is shown of Alexis, slowly making her way up the ramp as the scene fades to black.
