BACKSTAGE
We cut to the backstage area, where Lilee Snow is stood
Lilee: Guys, what a night we have in store… and in the middle of it all will be the group with me now.
The camera pans out to reveal Cindy Todd, stood with all of Unforgiven, including Dexter Schmidt.
Cindy: That’s very sweet of you my dear.
Lilee: Cindy, a lot of people have taken exception to you being here…
Cindy: Don’t they always?
Lilee: Indicating that you are getting special ‘favors’ from the Coalition. Is this true?
Cindy: Lilee, I have never needed ‘favors’ to get on in life. Look what my ‘Monster’ just did to Thamuz… with EASE, because he saw fit to call us out. I didn’t need help, WE dealt with it. Everything I have, is through hard work and determination. Now, if you are asking me if the Coalition has the same ‘vision’ for EMERGE as I do, then yes, we do. People like Thamuz cannot be allowed to exist. But nothing has been given to me… we have the EMERGE Championship on nothing but talent… isn’t that right Willow?
Willow: Of course my Queen
Cindy: People talk about suffering… as if we have been exempt. One of our members was KILLED Lilee, and the murderer got nothing more than a fine. You think that’s fair?
Lilee: Well…
Cindy: Of course you don’t. Put it this way, if it wasn’t for ME, Willow would have ensured EMERGE didn’t have a roster left. This precious young lady has lost her husband, the love of her life. We have ALL lost a friend, and yet we stand here having not retaliated and yet we are the bad guys. It’s hypocrisy on a huge scale Lilee. But you are right, this is a big night for us. Tonight, Willow will climb that Pyramid to success. We will watch as Jennifer Helms is beaten by Melissa Killgraves. We would marvel as Tombstone defeats Moustache Ride and all your heroes are vanquished one by one. But you know something Lilee?
Lilee just shakes her head
Cindy: That all adds up to a huge night for Unforgiven… but tonight, will be a whole lot more than that.
Lilee: What do you mean?
Cindy: You’ll see Lilee.
She turns to the camera
Cindy: You will ALL see.
RINGSIDE
Grace: A lot of emotion in the air right now, big night for a lot of people
Mitch: Last chance to snag a title, and everyone wants one. What about Christian Cannon though, tonight he faces the toughest test not of his career but of his life. He’d better be ready, because if he isn’t this could be one of the shortest careers in history.
The lights go off, a lone spotlight shines on the entrance way before the strings of Tombstone Three’s “The Blackest Hour” begins to play throughout the arena.
Grace: Uh ho, now then, just listen to this reaction
The place erupts as Minerva slowly walks out spinning her Gypsy Chain, she stands there looking over at Eli Goddard with his half-covered masked face and Sawyer, with half his face painted or sometimes wrapped up gauze with a hat like “Darkman”, holding a Pig’s Head Mask.
Minerva starts to laugh, leading the way followed Eli and Sawyer Goddard making their way toward the ring, not looking at anyone and focusing. The three family members of Tombstone stand at ring side before Sawyer slides in and sits in the corner, he smirks and stares at the referee as Eli enters as well
Grace: The former champions back to climb their titles, and they look ready
Mitch: They have had time to regroup, they returned with a bang three weeks ago… this is going to be a stern test for the champions.
The arena’s lights cut and the opening spoken word intro of “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred reverberates over the speakers.
Grace: Talking of which… here they come.
As the drums of the song kick in, a spotlight appears on top of the stage to show Tommy Wasley and Johnny Taylor standing there, wearing their ring gear with silk shirts covered in moustaches on them. Both men wave in their unusually charming way to fans in the crowd before setting off down the ramp with a confident strut.
Charley: “On their way to the ring, from Doncaster and London, England, respectively; they weigh in at a combined weight of four hundred and thirty nine pounds of manliness and they are the EMERGE Tag Team Champions… Tommy Wasley and Johnny Taylor… MOUSTACHE RIDE!”
Walking down the ramp, they hand out what appears to be tickets to the moustache ride to various women before hitting the ring. They both climb onto the apron before turning to face the camera, where they rip open their button up shirts and slip out of them before both winking into the camera that’s focused on them. Climbing into the ring, the toss their shirts to the outside and dance around a little to their music before settling into the corner and passing the referee the tag straps.
Grace: Heck of a lot riding on this, the tag champions are proud to be precisely that, but they know what Tombstone are all about. They want those belts back, and they are going to do whatever it takes.
Mitch: And Moustache Ride needs to be… what the hell?
The crowd erupts in cheers, as Frankie Paradise jumps through the crowd, and into the ring, hugging both Tommy and Johnny who are pissing themselves with laughter. He climbs a turnbuckle, and brings his hands to his trousers, motioning that he is going to moon the fans who are loving every minute
Grace: Frankie out here, how did he get in… more importantly, someone stop him…quickly.
Mitch: This has to be who they were talking about at the beginning of the show
Security comes bailing from the back, and he quickly jumps down, kissing Tommy on the cheek before rolling out the ring and back through the crowd with security chasing him. At the top of the steps he waves, before sprinting through the exit door. The crowd starts a ‘Frankie’ chant at the tops of their voices, loving it.
Mitch: Haha, that is pretty funny actually, Frankie making sure people don’t forget him. I don’t have to do that because I am obviously memorable already
Grace: Moustache Ride still laughing, Sawyer and Eli seem to be blocking it all out
The bell rings, Sawyer and Johnny leaving the ring.
Mitch: It’s going to be Eli and Tommy kicking us off, Tag Team titles on the line
EMERGE TAG TEAM TITLES
TOMBSTONE © VERSUS MOUSTACHE RIDE
Eli starts swinging straight off the bat, nailing Tommy with a flurry of right hands and taking him back to the ropes, whipping him back the other way. As he returns, Tommy ducks underneath a clothesline, and then off the ropes the other side. The two go for a shoulder charge, but neither moves, Tommy then throwing a right hand of his own, rocking Eli back on his heels. Then Tommy goes to lift him up into a hip toss, but Eli blocks it, and with the referee unsighted, gouges Tommy in the eyes. Tommy swings wildly, but Eli takes Tommy down with a foot sweep, and then mounts him, pounding him in the face. He then lifts Tommy up and drags him to their corner, tagging in Sawyer.
Grace: Tombstone starting quickly, Sawyer now entering the fray.
Sawyer spins Tommy around so his back is next to the turnbuckle, and unloads with a couple of hard shots, the referee admonishing him. As Sawyer then argues with the referee, Eli gets in a cheap shot of his own, Tommy dropping to one knee but getting straight up. Sawyer then drags Tommy into the center of the ring, pointing at Johnny, before lifting him up into a suplex position, and then bringing him crashing down to earth. He then tags in Eli again, who nips up onto the turnbuckle. With Sawyer holding Tommy, Eli leaps, connecting with a vicious diving head butt, Sawyer immediately leaving the ring.
Mitch: Tommy felt that… skull on skull
Grace: And Eli with the cover
1…
Tommy kicks out, the fans cheering. Eli lifts him up into a seated position, and applies a head lock.
Grace: Tombstone starting quickly, surprising the Moustache Ride with their focus
Mitch: That’s why they went away. To reset and refresh.
Tommy starts to get to his feet, and drives his elbow into Eli’s gut. Goddard doesn’t let go, but Tommy fires off another, this time Eli letting go. Tommy runs to the ropes, but Eli sees him coming, and leaps in the air, a two footed drop kick hitting its mark, Tommy hitting the canvas. Eli then tags in Sawyer, who goes up top, and without hesitation leaps, flying through the air and landing an Elbow drop.
Mitch: This is dominant from Tombstone, Moustache Ride can’t get going.
Grace: And they might not get the chance, here’s the cover
1…
2…
Tommy throws his shoulder up, Johnny stamping encouragement on the apron. Tommy is lifted up and then thrown into the corner, Sawyer bringing Eli in again.
Grace: This is Tag Team wrestling at its best, cutting the ring in half and keeping Tommy away from the tag.
Eli thunders a right hand into Tommy’s gut, and then follows it up with another, before going for a Suplex which Tommy blocks. Eli goes for it again, and once more Tommy blocks it. Tommy then tries to counter, but this time Eli blocks the suplex, and let’s go, landing a huge uppercut. Eli then bounces back off the ropes, and goes for a big boot, Tommy going for the same move, and both kicks connecting with the others jaw, both of them going down.
Grace: Tommy with the desperation move, both individuals down. It’s Tommy that really needs the cover though.
Mitch: Eli already heading for the tag, no movement from Tommy just yet.
Eli gets closer and closer, and finally Tommy rolls onto his front and at least starts moving. Eli makes the tag, and Sawyer immediately enters, sprinting across the ring and grabbing Tommy’s foot. Johnny has seen enough though, and bends through the strands, taking Sawyers head off with a brutal clothesline. The referee moves in quickly and forces Johnny to leave, but the damage has been done.
Grace: Sawyer taken down, Johnny couldn’t take anymore. Now make the tag Tommy.
Tommy crawls, as Sawyer gets to his feet. Tommy diving and making the tag to Johnny who enters with a huge right on Sawyer
Mitch: Here’s Johnny!!!
Johnny scoops Sawyer up, and plants him in the canvas. Eli runs towards him, and Taylor scoops him up too, with the same result. Sawyer is up and Johnny hip tosses him to the ring, and when Eli runs in, he does the same to him, Eli flying through the ropes. Johnny shakes his fists violently, waiting for Sawyer to get to his feet before spinning and hitting Sawyer full in the face with a Spinning back fist, Sawyer dropping to the canvas. Johnny drops to his knees, and then applies the pin
1…
2…
Sawyer kicks out, Johnny immediately picking him up and bailing him into their corner. He then walks to the center of the ring and turns, running in and jumping, a Yakuza Kick finding its mark and Sawyer falling forwards. Johnny spins him over, and makes the pin
1…
2…
NOOOOO, Eli makes the save, breaking the count with a diving punch to the back of Johnny’s head. As the referee gets Eli back into his corner, Johnny shouts something at Eli before picking up Sawyer and pushing him back into their corner. Tommy, now recovered, accepts the tag and jumps up onto the second rope, balling his fist.
Grace: We know what’s coming here
Tommy starts bringing his fist down, with the referee admonishing him, the fans counting along with each hit

The fans cheers as finally Tommy gets down, and Sawyer falls to a seated position. Tommy see’s this and with a smirk chops his crotch, walking to the center of the ring. He then turns and runs in, executing a Bronco Buster, squashing Sawyer in the corner. Tommy then drags Sawyer into the center of the ring, before tagging in Johnny. Johnny climbs the turnbuckle, and does a little dance up there, before holding out his arms and turning to face the fans. With a final look he leaps into a moonsault, BUT Sawyer brings up his knees, Johnny landing on them.
Grace: Huge mistake from Johnny Taylor… Tombstone now looking to take advantage
Johnny is left rolling around the ring, Tommy looking on in shock, as Sawyer starts to crawl towards his corner, reaching up. Eli makes the tag and enters, picking an injured Johnny to his feet. He then lifts him up into a Vertical Suplex and holds Johnny there, before finally transitioning it into a brainbuster, Johnny hitting the canvas hard.
Mitch: That’s it… job done.
With a smirk Eli drops to his knees and moves the referee in position
Grace: Eli believes that’s enough… I think I agree with him
Eli then hooks the leg and pins the shoulders
1…
2…
3…
NOOOOOOO, at the very last moment Johnny gets his shoulder up, the fans on their feet.
Grace: Unbelievable… Johnny keeps The Ride in this… I thought it was over
Mitch: I think Sawyer did too.
Eli picks Johnny to his feet, and bails him hard into the turnbuckle, Johnny almost dropping to his backside. Eli then tags in Sawyer, who sprints in, looking for a Spear. Johnny however sidesteps, and Sawyer’s shoulder crashing into the steel turnbuckle post, Minerva looking on in shock. Johnny doesn’t know where he is, but Tommy screams at him to make the tag, as Sawyer drops to the mat.
Grace: The momentum shifts again, make the tag Johnny.
Johnny dives and makes the tag, Sawyer luckily for him doing the same. Eli runs towards Tommy, who goes for a hip toss, but at the last moment keeps hold, and drives Eli head first into the canvas.
Mitch: What a move from Tommy… is that enough?
1…
2…
Eli kicks out, Tommy immediately going to the corner and stepping up on the second rope, waiting for Eli to stand. When he does, Tommy leaps off the turnbuckle with a huge diving forearm, which connects with Eli’s jaw, before scrambling into a cover
1…
2…
Eli kicks out again, Tommy lifting Eli up, but with the referee blindsided, Goddard brings his forearm up into Tommy’s groin
Grace: Oh come on referee
Mitch: He didn’t see it
Eli tags in Sawyer, who doesn’t hang around, but Johnny manages to tag Tommy on the shoulder as he falls backwards, Sawyer not seeing it. Sawyer goes behind Tommy and applies a Full Nelson, preparing the Full Nelson Slam, but Johnny nails him with a Haymaker at the back of the head, Sawyer falling forwards and into the referee, who is knocked through the ropes.
Mitch: The referee’s getting in the way tonight it seems
Grace: Never mind that… look
Johnny grabs Sawyer, as Eli pulls Tommy out the ring, the two of them fighting on the outside, Johnny hitting Sawyer with a flurry of back hands, the fans going ballistic as he finishes off with a one inch punch, Sawyer going down
Grace: They’ve done it… but there’s no referee.
Tommy slams Eli into the security barricade, the two of them brawling as the referee pulls himself to his knees
Grace: Oh my God look!!!
The crowd boos as Alistair Taylor enters the ring, kicking Johnny Taylor in the gut and then hooking both arms. He then spins one way, and then the other, dropping him face first into the canvas, as on the outside Eli slams Tommy's face into the barricade. Alistair rolls out the ring and back into the crowd, as the referee pulls himself up onto the apron, Sawyer not knowing what has happened, but crawling over towards Johnny
Grace: NO, not like this
The referee rolls into the ring, as Sawyer makes the cover.
1...
2...
Mitch: New Champions!!!
3...
The arena explodes in boos, as Minerva grabs the belts, and Sawyer is dragged out the ring by Eli. Minerva holds them both up, as Tommy rolls into the ring to check on Johnny, not knowing what happened
Grace: This is sickening, thanks to the actions of Alistair Taylor, Tombstone are once again Tag Team Champions
Mitch: Alistair doing a number on his Memorial Tournament opponent... wow
Tombstone back up the ramp, the fans not believing what they are seeing. Tommy gets to his feet and looks up the ramp, shaking his head
Grace: I hate to say it, but he can shake his head all he wants... Tombstone are EMERGE tag team champions again... and I think they should buy Alistair Taylor a drink
Sawyer and Eli hold up the belts to a deafening roar, as the scene fades to the back
We cut to the backstage area, where Lilee Snow is stood
Lilee: Guys, what a night we have in store… and in the middle of it all will be the group with me now.
