RECORDED BEFORE THE SHOW
Recoiling from the attacks, Silencia is saved from the fight by La Torbellina, who blindsides Rhodes, allowing her and her partner to batter the owner! The security guard, taken out by Torbellina off-camera, radios for back-up from inside the arena, but before they can arrive, Torbellina is able to trap Rhodes’ arm against the car so that Silencia can kick it with all her tiny might right into the outstretched appendage! Melinda cradles her right wing with a roar of pain! The Rebel drops to her knees, but shoots right back up, STILL looking to fight back if she can, but it's at that point security hustles the tag champions away, threats being shouted on both sides in Spanish as EMTs rush in to check on Melinda!

Bell Time - 7pm EST.
With the music playing and the stage pyro popping out steps good old Jenny Beck in her usual leather attire of choice, this time of a deep red and maroon variety, her hair died to match. On her face, however, isn't the usual smile as she heads out to the ring. Instead there's a look of anger on her face. She slides into the ring, hops up and brings the microphone to her lips!
Jenny: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!! DID YOU SEE THAT SHIT?! DID YOU SEE WHAT PLAYED ON THAT SCREEN?!!!
She points over to the tron which now looped the Rebel Star Productions and SRW WICKED Logos.
Jenny: Two weak ass bitches decide to attack the woman WHO GAVE THEM THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO BE TAG TEAM MOTHERFUCKING CHAMPIONS-
Crowd: LA REBELLION SUCKS! THEY'RE NOT A REBELLION! LA REBELLION SUCKS! THEY'RE NOT A REBELLION! LA REBELLION SUCKS!!!
Jenny: FUCK YEAH!!! Oh and uh ladies, if you wanna' come after me for talking outta' turn?
She reaches into her studded leather jacket and produces a rather long wooden handle. With a flick of her wrist, a six inch blade unfolds that seems almost comical.
Jenny: I will cut a bitch. I also got Pepper spray, a tazer, a folding Baton, and a black belt in FUCK YOU UP!
Crowd: JENNY! JENNY! JENNY! JENNY!
Crowd: JENNY! JENNY! JENNY! JENNY!
Ms. Beck then flicks the knife shut and slips it back into her pocket with a bit of a smirk.
Jenny: NOW! As a result Melinda Rhodes is in the hospital but we got a GM in the back who is going to be here tonight to officiate THE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT SIGNING FOR THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! JOE! MIKEY! TAKE IT AWAY!!!
We come to the announce table to see the duo of Joe Koss and Mike Spazz talking it out at the table.
Koss: What we just witnessed at the very start of this show was reprehensible, period.
Spazz: While it was, I have to say this.... Why'd Mel not have good security out there? That's our private lot, lunchbox! I'd want some militant motherfuckers watching my fly ride yo!
Koss: Well for one, there's surveillance, how else you think we got that footage? Second...
Spazz: Second, a camera ain't stoppin' shit dawg! People can run off with your car, not get their face seen, and have that shit chopped up and parts'd out before you even got a handle on any piece of your car! I lived in Jersey most my life, I know how fast that can go down! She should hire more fuckin' security!
Koss: What kind of car do you drive?
Spazz: 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Fat fuck and it's a sweet sweet ride!
Koss: Blue Book value of that car is... what, $1800 tops? Nobody's stealin' that brother.
Spazz: My car is limited edition and in Petty Edition Blue!
Koss: Ok so two grand. Big whoopty do! Anyway, let's move on. We've got one hell of a show for you tonight folks, starting with our opening match up, Dixon & House take on Grant & Maye in tag team action coming up NEXT!!!
TRACY DIXON & WENDY HOUSE VS HANNAH GRANT & MELISSA MAYE
The match opens up with Wendy House circling in a worker's walk with Hannah Grant, only to lunge at each other with Wendy going for a strike but is blocked and answered with one of her own! Grant goes on the assault, trading shots with Wendy but ultimately winning out with a shot that drops Wendy hard! Wendy gets to her feet only to be dropped again and again! She rolls with each shot back to her corner and on the final strike, hops up and tags in Tracy. Wendy lays on the apron, clutching at her pained face as Tracy wastes no time, coming at Hannah like a runaway freight train! She takes a hit to the face, snapping her head aside! Tracy answers with a powerful clothesline that Hannah ducks, running to the ropes! As she snaps off, she's kicked i the back by Wendy! She staggers forward into a boot to the gut and THE KENTUCKY FRIED FACE BUSTER! Tracy makes the pin but is interrupted by Melissa Maye, who is then attacked by Wendy! For nearly a minute chaos ensues as all four women engage in a brawl right then and there! After being brawled into a corner by Wendy, Melissa drops her with THE HEADBUTT! Melissa is then ran down by Tracy's KENTUCKY BLIND DATE!!! Both illegal women leave the ring as Hannah Grant comes out of nowhere with a boot to the gut and attempts THE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX ON TRACY BUT FAILS! Tracy is too heavy and ends up tossing Hannah over her shoulders to tag out to Melissa Maye who enters like a woman on fire, battering Tracy back with hard shots! Tracy tanks each hit, moving back one step at a time until roaring and scooping Melissa up, only to have her jump with the lift, slip over one shoulder and bring her down with a HEADBUTT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Tracy falls flat on her face but being so close to her corner, her arm reached out on the way down to tag in Wendy, who hops onto the rope and leaps on to Melissa like a savage creature! She drives REPEATED ELBOWS into the side of Melissa's head, dropping her to a seat with Wendy straddling her lap! Melissa flat backs after seventh shot afterwards and Wendy hooks her leg but only gets a two count as Hannah Grant rushes in with a running kick! Pinfall Broken!!!
Hannah is then bowled over by a brutal power clothesline from Tracy that spins her off her feet! Wendy gets to her feet looking particularly angry as the referee escorts Tracy back to her corner. Hannah starts to get up only for Wendy to hit a wicked KNEE TREMBLER that rocks her world! Hannah rolls out of the ring and Wendy turns right into THE CRESCENDO FROM MAYES! Wendy is spun and drops to the canvas in a heap from the powerful kick, but Melissa remains down as well, still reeling from Wendy's lethal elbow assault. Tracy roars at Wendy to tag her in but Wendy is barely able to respond!
Groggily Wendy starts to drag herself over and reaches out, Melissa rolls over and grabs Wendy's leg, but Wendy makes the tag just as she's pulled away and the powerhouse steps in to play! Melissa tries to get to her tag partner to tag herself in but Tracy cuts her off, rushing in with a running shoulder block that knocks Hannah off the apron! Tracy then goes for a backfist but Melissa ducks it, checking her with several shots, then bounding for the opposite side, snapping off and going for THE CRESCENDO again but Tracy side steps, catching her and slamming her to the canvas with authority and a roar! Wendy's hung up at the ropes by the referee as both Hannah and Melissa double team the big woman with dueling strikes, then hitting DUAL YAKUZA KICKS to either side of Tracy's head, dropping her straight to the canvas! Melissa quickly makes the cover as Hannah rushes back out onto the apron but the referee is still fighting with Wendy! This allows enough recovery time for a kickout at two!
Frustration mounts as Melissa tags out to Hannah once more who really takes it to the stunned Tracy Dixon, battering her foe immensely! She sets Tracy for an Irish Whip but Tracy reverses and pulls her into THE CASE CLOSED!!! Melissa goes for the save but Wendy blitzes her and at that point, the referee catches Hannah tapping out!
WINNER: TRACY DIXON & WENDY HOUSE BY TAP OUT AT 12 MINUTES AND 32 SECONDS!!!
Post Match: Wendy and Tracy celebrate outside the ring while Hannah and Melissa are left arguing about who screwed up and when. A brawl breaks out between the two, showing the animosity growing between them ever since their first booking!!!! The crowd chants LET THEM FIGHT as security rushes in to break them up!

Koss: Dixon and House finally win a tag team match and all on the grounds of a communication breakdown between Grant and Maye
Spazz: Those two are really gettin' into it too, Lunchbox! Claws are comin' out!
Koss: Arguing all the way to the back. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear some big time fallout between Melissa and Hannah in the coming weeks over this match.

IN-RING SEGMENT
Spazz: What a bitch!
Koss: You said it!
Something New by Girls Aloud hits over the public address system as the fans greet this with loud boos. As the participants in the contract signing look up to the ramp not pleased as out from the back with Underling by her side is none other than Queen B Bianca Davis. Who has a smug grin on her face. Dressed to the nines in a black dress, a silver tiara, black high heel pumps, and a chanel handbag hanging over her slender shoulder. As she does a beauty pageant wave she is handed a microphone soon after from her underling. As she soon motions for her music to be cut staying on the ramp eying the ring putting her hand on her hip as she began to speak in her normal arrogant tone.
Bianca Davis: Yes that is right Hastag basics its me your Queen B The greatest conquest champion of all time. None other than Bianca Davis. I know you all adore me SRW’s own personal goddess. I mean if I wasn’t me I’d adore me too.
The fans boo loudly as she raises her hand high in the air. As The Queen B, then puts the microphone on her lip as she begins to speak in the same tone.
BIanca Davis: Well what do we have here a moment you’re boring these basics with this lame contract signing. But don’t fret uggos of the world because I The Queen B am here to save all of you! You’re welcome.
Bianca smirks as underling claps for her. As the fans boo loudly Bianca gives them a bw highly amused by her own comments.
Bianca Davis: Now, don’t get your panties in a bunch ladies be honored instead. Because things around here will be changing enough it started with me firing that useless moron Bradord the only reason that Rivr Chance you are standing there with that title. Because whenwe ever went one on one you couldn’t beat me and that's a fact.
River nods holding up the belt as Bianca rolls her eyes.
Bianca Davis: But honestly your friend the boss did do me one favor she freed up my focus because honestly I deserve better than that belt. So have fun fighting Kate Steele who was her husband's fourth choice and she still defends him? because honestly you two will be bringing down the value of the belt that I worked so hard to raise. But I got bigger uggos to shine a light on.
Bianca rolls her eyes chucking in an arrogant manner, before turning her gaze to Dona Rotten and Samantha Hamliton. She keeps her hand on her hip, before raising her microphone up to her lips speaking in the same arrogant tone.
Bianca Davis: Now let us talk about the Coastal Empire title now every Queen should have an empire, and what better way than to win the empire title. Now Samantha Hamliton you have won and held that title almost as well as I did with the Conquest title but not everyone can be me now can they? And Dona Rotten what a competitor I mean you came so close to winning that battle royal only be eliminated aw but its okay you’re still number one contender for the Coastal Empire title. Now if I was cleared to compete well the contender situation would be so different hell I’d be standing there with my conquest title. But I digress. I am sure that match between you two is gonna be so brutal. I am sure all of these basics will get their money's worth from their pitiful paychecks. Now the last and certainly not the least. The Queen of the South title.
Bianca rolls her eyes as she yawns acting bored. However, the fans are still on her case annoyed by her interrupting the contract signing. As Underling yells at the fans to quiet down because the Queen is speaking.
Bianca Davis: Thank you underline but these people are total losers with no manners. Now where was I oh the Queen of the South title. Now I have to ask what hole did you crawl out from under Katie? Like seriously I can’t see how we are even from the same town ugh! But despite that despite somehow you won that battle royal I mean good job really you did you of all people managed to outlast everyone in that match. Then on top of that you pin Zoe overthere how lucky are you? Or is it because Zoe over here is losing your edge as Queen of the South?
Bianca changes her glance to the current Queen of the South Champion.
Bianca Davis: I mean the woman that all these people and the boss puts their hopes behind. The woman that week after week is paraded as the face but that is so wrong becauses newsfash you might hold the Queen of the South title but everyone knows there's only one Queen and that is me!
The fans really boo this and begin a you’re no queen chant at Bianca. Who turns out and huffs in their direction as underling yells at them to shut up for her boss.
Bianca Davis: Clearly you people have no taste. But either way after these matches are said and done maybe just maybe the longest reigning and greatest conquest champion can get her rightful opportunity at a title shot. Don't worry River you don’t have to face me again lucky you but The Queen of the South or Coastal Empire title I am more than deserving of a shot at both of them and when I get that shot I am gonna take whatever belt is put in front of it and have a regin that will even make my amazing Conquest title reign look like basic. Even Melinda Rhodes would have to pay respect to my accomplishments. All Hail the Queen B!
Bianca smirks as she does her pageant wave before staring at the contract signing with a smirk on her face.
Spazz: What a bitch!
Koss: You said it!
PSYCHO VS MARIA SALVATOR II
The word was given and the fight is fierce as the two women hold back nothing from the start. Both angered by the finish of their last match, the two tore into each other with every ounce of fire and thunder they had. Strikes, kicks, and even Maria with a direct throat choke, but Psycho reminds her why she should threaten her with a good time, returning the favor with a grin! The two break off, then tie up and Psycho delivers a knee to Maria's midsection, followed by a headbutt and a takedown straight into ACROSS THE RIVER!!! Maria manages to pull herself to the ropes with a little help from her Manager at ringside reaching through the ropes! The referee almost bans him on the spot, but is quickly distracted by the two women post hold break, fighting once more!
Maria unloads with a surprisingly savage striking offensive that ends with a spinning heel kick that drops Psycho to her knees, and an innovative low orbit running TORNADO DDT that almost nets her the win! Maria whips Psycho to the corner, gets her up on the ropes and hits a BRAINBUSTAAAAHHH right on the turnbuckle, almost ending Psycho's career as she bounces neck first off the turnbuckle link, falls to the apron and lands on the floor, clutching her neck and kicking her legs in agony!
Maria rolls outside, gathering Psycho up by her potentially injured neck and hurling her over the announce table! She gathers her up, despite protests from Joe and Mike at the commentary table, sets Psycho up for her finisher but gets shoved off the table onto the Spanish Announce Table!!! As Maria gets up, Psycho runs across one announce table to leap up from one table to the next, catching Maria in mid flight and hitting a DDT THROUGH THE TABLE!!! With the crowd giving huge table and cool spot pops, Psycho gets up from the wreckage looking more pleased with herself than anything else. Gathering Maria up, the woman clearly stunned by her skull first wood encounter, she grips her by the head, runs forward and slings her skull first into the side of the ring steps with a loud *KERTHONGKT!*
Rolling for a sit up, the Mafia Heiress barely has time to register before she sees Psycho's foot coming straight for her face! She barely rolls out of the way as Psycho kicks off the top step! It's at that point that her manager gets between Psycho and Maria, shoving her back and then holding his hands up and asking her, "Hey that's my client yo, back off and let her get up!" Psycho answers by straight kicking Maria's manager in the groin, dropping him down and hitting THE GEALTACHTA straight to his head! As he crumples, Maria suddenly runs forward, using her Manager's back as a springboard and hitting another TORNADO DDT ON THE FLOOR!!!
She gathers Psycho up quickly, rolls her seemingly unconscious foe into the ring and rolls over her for a pin but only get's a two and a half count! Roaring at the referee with a million insults, she gathers Psycho up and starts viciously slapping her over and over, then scooping her up and slamming her to the canvas! She then locks on SLEEPING WIT DA' FISHES! Psycho manages to get a foot on the rope after several seconds of struggle! Forced to break the hold, Maria comes unglued, gathering Psycho up by the hair but in a surprise move, she's gut kicked and shoved back! GEALTACHTA BRINGS MARIA DOWN but Psycho doesn't go for the pin, instead dragging Maria to the middle of the ring and locking on ACROSS THE RIVER in the middle of the ring! With no escape and the referee not paying attention to Maria's manager, she's forced to do only one thing.... Tap out!!!
WINNER: PSYCHO BY TAP OUT AT 11 MINUTES AND 42 SECONDS!!

TALIA AREANO VS CHELSEA WINSTON
Written by ZMSThe two young women start things off with a tapping of fists, showing some sportsmanship before locking up. The women have similar styles, which leads to a bit of a stalemate until Areano takes things to the mat with a headlock and starts working over the neck. She mounts Chelsea from the rear, grinding her forearm across the face of the Scottish Brave, doing her utmost to wear her opponent down quickly. Chelsea powers out but an armdrag brings her right back down, with Talia transitioning into a headscissors from an armbar as she works to keep Winston grounded. The Scot is tenacious, though, and headstands her way out of Talia’s grip, almost taking her head off with a football kick. Talia lies back to avoid it and Chelsea takes off for the ropes. Areano kips up to her feet, ducking an attempt at a flying lariat from Winston. Chelsea rolls up to her feet and turns just in time to duck a backfist from Talia, sweeping Areano’s legs from under her and going for a quick pin! The count only reaches one before Talia kicks out, pulling in the energetic Chelsea for an inside cradle in return! The two young women trade pin attempts before Talia gets hold of Winston again, sending her into the ropes. Chelsea hits the middle strand, moonsaults off and lands on her feet as Talia ducks, smacking the young veteran with a wicked enzuigiri as she turns around, finally putting Areano down long enough for a two-count!
Using her speed to keep the pressure on, Winston lays into Talia with kicks and strikes, trying to stay out of proper reach. A running front dropkick sends Areano hard into the buckles and a cannonball splash follows for two. With Areano laid out on the mat, Chelsea looks to go up top, perhaps for her FLYING SCOTSGIRL splash, but Talia is able to meet her on the buckles before Winston can take to the sky! They throw fists on the top rope, jockeying for the advantage, and very nearly topple to the outside! It would have been quite the rough landing, but Chelsea is able to throw a few gut shots that double-up Areano, grabbing her and flipping off the top for a sunset flip bomb… except Talia holds on to stall things! Winston tries to power the veteran down but Talia refuses to relent, driving a fist to the top of Chelsea’s head, then jumping off the top and delivering a double-stomp to the chest on her way down! Winston goes down hard, head bouncing off the bottom turnbuckle on the way, yet still has the ring awareness to grab the bottom rope at two to break up Talia’s pin attempt!
Areano takes over once again, battering Chelsea with her brawling style. The stomp to the chest took the air right out of the Scottish Brave and her experienced opponent is quick to press that suffering for her benefit. Dumping Chelsea with a flapjack, Talia follows with a second-rope moonsault for two. Chelsea continues to fight back, barely leapfrogging a spear from Areano and reaching back for a neckbreaker. Areano twists out and hits the spear on the second go-round, again scoring a near-fall. Some frustration starts to show in Talia, and it affects her focus to an extent. A short-arm lariat is countered into a neckbreaker and the winds start to shift in Chelsea’s favor. A sit-out powerbomb gets her a near-fall, managed after a springboard leap by Talia, but Areano is able to escape. A float-over DDT almost ends things against Watson, but she puts a foot on the bottom rope to stave off the three-count. Talia sends her hard into the buckles and misses a splash. Chelsea looks to whip her into the corner in retort but Talia reverses! Cheslea flips backwards, landing on her feet behind Areano and driving two running knees into her back, crushing the veteran against the padded steel! Bounding back to the top rope while the adrenaline temporarily dulls the pain, Chelsea delivers the FLYING SCOTSGIRL and scores the one-two-three!
WINNER: CHELSEA WINSTON BY PINFALL AT 11 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS
Spazz: Wasn't sure who to run with because I kept sayin' GO HOT ONE! But they both haaaawT!
Koss: Hot or not, that match was straight fire and those two put on a serious clinic in that ring tonight! Impressive win for Chelsea Winston tonight over the tenured Talia Areano!
Spazz: Wonder if Talia will get steamed or give this Flying Scotsgirl her props?
Halo starts off against Dona, dwarfing the former Ascendant Champion with her size. Dona looks past this and locks up with the young blonde, lapsing into a series of strikes to try and bring Halo down to her physical level. Forearms to the jaw and knees to the midsection are the order of the day to start things off, allowing Rotten to whip Halo into the ropes. The larger woman comes back with a big boot, though, sending Rotten to the mat hard. The sheer length of those legs coupled with Halo’s speed making it far more damaging than it would appear! Nevertheless, Dona is right back up and ready to fight, blocking a haymaker from Halo and yanking her into a short-arm lariat. On instinct Halo moves to tag in B-Brat, but Rotten stops this until Halo whacks her with one of those long legs again! Stunned into letting go, Dona is still shaking it off when B-Brat busts in, tackling Rotten to the mat and delivering a series of right hands! Rocking her head side to side and talking all sorts of sweet trash, Brat pulls Rotten up and sends her into the ropes. Rotten comes in with a shoulder block that knocks the rookie to the mat, smirking down at her as Lyra laughs it up in the MoD’s corner! Pointing at her partner, Dona grabs Brat by the hair and starts dragging her over to Lyra while the referee gives her hair about the follicle abuse! Tagging in LeVeux-Donavan, Dona blasts Brittany with a spinning heel kick while Lyra downs her with a leg sweep, leading to a pin for two!
Shoving Brat into the corner, Lyra licks her hand and shushes the crowd before chopping the piss right out of Brittany! She staggers out of the corner clutching her chest while Lyra follows after her, sweetly taunting the rookie! Not taking kindly to this, Brittany hauls off and slaps the Fire-Breathing Wolf across the face! Dona’s eyes go wide from the corner, but she grins while Halo, blinking, shakes her head in disapproval! B-Brat, yelling back at the crowd for their reaction, finally turns back to see Lyra staring right into her eyes! She holds up her hands in a show of apology but goes for a low blow almost immediately! Lyra catches her leg and, with a grin, drives her head into the brow of Brittany, causing her to fall back and land on her ass. Crouching down, Lyra says something to the dazed B-Brat before returning the slap and pinning Brittany for a short two! Realizing the fight she’s in, Brittany kicks it into another gear, surprising the OTHER former Ascendant Champion with a hairmare and two running knees to the seated Lyra’s back! She kicks out at two when B-Brat makes a pin attempt, but is victimized by a springboard hurricanrana and has to kick out again! Empowered by her success, the arrogance takes over again and Brittany heads to the ropes again… however, she sails right into a waiting Lyra, who turns it into a double-knee gutbuster for a near-fall! Whipped into the ropes, B-Brat is blind-tagged and manages to slip out of the ring before Lyra can retort, allowing Halo to sail in with a spear to knock Lyra to the mat!
Fully putting her considerable size to use, Halo takes the fight to Lyra, whipping her into the turnbuckles with enough recoil to send her down to the mat. Even Dona winces as Lyra is hoisted up high and left to drop chest-first to the mat by the 5’10” powerhouse. Enforcing the trash talk once again coming from her team’s corner, Halo tries another big boot, though Lyra ducks the move and kicks Halo’s leg from under her. She goes for the tag to Dona, but Halo catches her by the leg and twists her down to the mat, ramming that leg into the canvas knee-first! Lyra is a bit damaged by this, but kicks away Halo when she tries an ankle lock, sending the larger woman into the ropes! A leg drop attempt follows and the Fire-Breathing Wolf rolls aside, having just enough time to tag in the Toxic Knockout! Dona is more than ready to scrap again, hitting a basement clothesline on Halo before mounting her and delivering some straight rights! Halo goes for the eyes, ripping away until she’s free, leaving Dona flailing for a moment! She tags in B-Brat and the two quickly take advantage, hitting GIMME MORE on Dona, prompting Lyra to break up the pin and, thus, cause a big brawl!
Lyra is all too happy to lay the fight to Brittany while Halo tries to keep working over Dona in hopes of putting her down. The Toxic Knockout has other plans, however, and shows her own nasty side by dropping Halo face-first on the top turnbuckle and hitting a Saito suplex to follow-up! B-Brat is back to working nasty again, rubbing Lyra’s face in the mat after attacking the knee again to bring her down! Lyra looks up after this and, as B-Brat trash talks yet again, grabs the young woman by the mouth… literally! Having hold of Brittany’s lower jaw, Lyra tightens her grip on the rookie before Brittany finally yanks herself free… just in time for Dona to blast her in the face with TOXIC MIST! The referee, distracted with Halo, fails to see this, but does see Lyra trapping Brittany’s arms and launching into the GREEN NIGHTMARE, a series of headbutts that leaves the remnants of Dona’s mist smeared across Lyra’s face! Halo, attacking from behind, sends Dona into the buckles and grabs Lyra around the waist, dumping her with a big German suplex! Landing on her head and shoulders, LeVeux-Donavan is a tad wobbly, but Halo trying to get Brittany back in the fight allows both Mothers of Destruction to recover! The four end up facing off, tension and fire between them, before all four clash in the middle of the ring again! The brawl is too wild and woolly to call… and it seems that the referee has had enough when the bell rings… which does nothing to stop either Dream Machines OR Mothers! The official announcement comes through…
TIME LIMIT DRAW AT 20 MINUTES
...but not one of these four women are willing to stop the fight! Several more referees and officials do manage to break it up, confining the MoD to the ring while the Dream Machines back up the ramp! B-Brat screeches at Dona and Lyra, pointing at her mostly-green face while Halo also backs up her young partner! In the ring? The Toxic Knockout and the Fire-Breathing Wolf grin and dare the two to come back for more… though thankfully (unless you’re a fan!) the officials keep this from happening!
Koss: This is going to be remembered as a classic match! Mother's of Destruction battled the Lil' Dream Machines, fresh off their victory against the SMC Riot Group and now fighting the Mother's of Destruction to a stand still!
Spazz: Halo and B-Brat's stock be RISING everyday yo! Who puts time limits on matches any fucking way? I say let 'em go till they stop, not some fuckin' stop watch!
Koss: You do remember the rule that time is money, right? The longer the show goes, the higher the everything else is.
Spazz: I remember when it wasn't like this. You remember the days when wrestling companies could just go on and on as long as they like?
Koss: Yes and most of those companies aren't around anymore for that very reason.
The match begins with three armed women surrounded by a wild assortment of weapons- Juliet Black with a barbwire wrapped bundle of light tubes, Jennifer Williams with a steel chair, and Christina Zdunich with a kendo stick. Jennifer and Christina bull rush the champ who promptly ducks and rolls between them, shattering her light tube payload across Jennifer's back and instantly dropping her to her knees with a cry of pain. Juliet ducks a wild spin around and swing by Christina, shattering what's left of the tubes upon Christina's stomach and slicing her exposed mid drift in the process! Juliet then catches Christina and drops her with a fast and dirty DDT right on several shards of broken glass!
Thinking fast, Juliet then gathers up a stack of wrapped photo copy paper and knocks a rising Jennifer right off her feet with it!!! The Hardcore Champ then pulls a single sheet of paper from it, smiling wickedly at the confused crowd. Taking Jennifer's hand, she places a sheet of paper and delivers a vicious PAPER CUT, followed by another and another between the webs of those fingers! The hubris of torture leaves Juliet open to a chair shot to the back from Christina! Again and again... *FWHACK! FWHACK! FWHACK!* the Blossoming one lays into Juliet with chair shot after chair shot, driving the woman to her knees over and over! The final shot sees Juliet turning at the last second to have the chair tossed up and DROPKICKED IN HER FACE, followed by SMELL THE ROSES Handspring Moonsault and a pinfall but Juliet kicks out at two!
Christina rises in time to get hit with Jennifer's SPLIT STEP-UP ENZIGURI KICK! She then gathers Juliet up, wrenches her hand and pulls her into a front facelock, the promptly Snap DDT's her onto that chair, covering her for the pin! The pin is broken up by Christina with a springboard Moonsault across both women, followed by a low orbit Enziguri kick right in Jennifer's face! Juliet is back on her feet and taking a full on assault from Crystal Z, who comes at her with chops and kicks, driving her back into the ropes and then dropkicking her out of the ring!
Christina rushes full speed ahead towards a rising Jennifer and latches on with a Hurricanrana, but Jennifer tosses her up off her shoulders, spins around and hits SWEET DREAMS on Christina, going for the cover! Juliet reaches through the ropes to pull Jennifer by the leg out to the arena floor where she proceeds to assault her with European brawling. Bicep uppercuts, knee shots, wicked chops, ear pops, and every manner of brutal strike that comes to the Champion's twisted mind. A reach into the ring to gather a weapon provides her with a steel chair, which immediately collides with the top of Jennifer's head, driving her to the floor in a heap! Christina goes for a pin on the Arena floor but surprisingly gets a 2.993 count!
Christina gathers the chair up again and as she raises it above her head, she finds it impacting with her own skull as Juliet Black sails over the top rope with a FLYING TOPE STOMP right on that raised weapon!!! Zdunich goes down in a surprised, twitching heap as Juliet hits the nearby time keeper's table rip first with a wince of pain! Though hurting, it is Juliet who gets to her feet first and initiates a brawl with Jennifer Williams, battering her stunned foe until a surprise shot in those tender ribs causes her to recoil in agony! Blow after blow to that same spot sends her jolting away from Jennifer. It's when the Lady Dream presses her luck that THE BARE KNUCKLE GLAM cracks her right in the face with Juliet falling across her for a pin, but Christina breaks it up just barely!
Christina gathers up the Kendo stick and proceeds to batter Juliet Black with it, whipping her over and over as the weapon splinters and begins to break in short order from the loud, savage smacks reverberating over the crowd. Lacerations and welts form on Juliet's back and yet the champion keeps fighting to get back up!
Jennifer Williams takes the opportunity to catch Christina by surprise with a boot to the gut and AN EXECUTIVE DECISION!!!! However as she makes the pin, she's caught off guard by an angry Juliet Black catching her in THE FADE 2 BLACK! Her cry of pain is choked out by the Crossface Chickenwing and Bodyscissor combo, all on top of Christina Zdunich's unconscious form! She tries but can't escape the hold and with not even an option for a rope break in a Hardcore match, she taps her one free hand on the back of Christina's head!
WINNER AND STILL HARDCORE CHAMPION: JULIET BLACK BY SUBMISSION AT 15 MINUTES AND 13 SECONDS!
Spazz: BEEEE-RUTAL!! LOVED IT! 9 outta' 10!
Koss: Why only a 9?
Spazz: No wardrobe malfunctions! Boooooo!
Koss: Ass.
Spazz: No the ass was concealed, albeit barely. Tho dawg, DID YOU SEE THE PAPERCUT SPOT? Holy fuck that had me cringing in my seat!
Koss: Everyone underestimates the power of a papercut.
It was time for the highly anticipated matchup between Wildside and La Rebelion. The two teams are seen jawing with one another before the bell rang. Still all four members of the match remained in the ring before Torbellina and Silencia step outside. Silencia and Zenna locked up as the crowd was hot for the beginning. Silencia sent Zenna into the turnbuckle. She ran and hit a huge elbow to Zenna. She taunted to the crowd as the boos echoed. Zenna hopped back to her feet quickly and hit a huge side kick to the knee of Silencia. As Silencia dropped to her knee she was met with a huge kick to the jaw. After a few back and forth punches Zenna gets the upper hand hitting a snap ddt. Feeling the energy exerted from the back and forth both competitors stay down for a moment. Silencia then rolled to her corner and tagged in Torbellina. Torbellina ran and knocked Seleana off the apron. She looked down at Seleana. Zenna rolls up Turbellina but is only able to get a two count. As the two rise, Torbellina caught her with an elbow and after A few moments of slow methodical beating from Torbellina that drove her into the ropes the referee stepped in to break them up. Zenna slowly used the ropes to stand. Torbellina approached Zenna who rolls toward her corner and tagged in Seleana! The much fresher half of Wildside began hitting punches to both members of La Rebelion. She hit a body slam on Torbellina before climbing to the top rope, then followed with THE CAT'S EYE but only got a 2 as Silencia pulled the referee out of the ring.
With the referee out all hell broke loose. The two teams kept battling it all out in a wild melee in the ring! Torbellina dropped Zenna throat first onto the barricade. Seleana is tossed into the ring and both members of La Rebelion slid into the ring after. Seleana catches them them both with a low split leg kick to the guts to double over both Silencia and Torbellina! The referee got back into the ring as La Rebelion reversed it and they both plant Seleana with a huge DDT! Silencia went for the cover but only got a 2 as Zenna dove from out of nowhere with a Senton Splash!!!
The referee, heavily distracted with trying to remove the illegal parties, starting with Zenna Zdunich, fails to see that Torbellina had gotten ahold of one of the tag championships in all of the excitement and while the referee's back was turned and Seleana was a bit out of it still, rocks her off her feet with a running belt shot, tossing it out of the ring on impact, then rolling and driving past the referee to drive Zenna out of the ring, the two landing outside with a tackle through the ropes and promptly landing on the floor in a brawling heap!
Meanwhile Silencia sizes up the unconscious Seleana from the top rope.... then dives hitting ¡PARA LA TRINIDAD! with the fans booing in uproar as she hooks the leg and secures the victory. Zenna almost saves Seleana, but the axe handle across Silencia's back isn't enough!
WINNER AND STILL SOUTHERN CROSS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: LA REBELLION BY PINFALL AT 11 MINUTES AND 21 SECONDS!
POST MATCH: La Rebellion leave the ring, gathering up their belts and hoisting them in the air. There's a lightning flash on the stage and the lights go out, all but one.... the Titan Tron screen showing blue burning letters that read M.O.D.....
Koss: Ominous!
Spazz: Mother's of Destruction already eye-balling them Champs yo!
Koss: La Rebellion is wracking up an impressive enemy tally tonight. They better watch their back!
Koss: AND WE'RE BACK FROM THE BREAK!
Spazz: Woah! Chrys K is back dawg!
Koss: Indeed. The Rebel was in talks with her before this show, but apparently with the situation from earlier in the night, she had to pull the trigger much sooner than she intended to on the new GM taking over Wicked Tuesday!
Spazz: No offense to the boss, but Chrys is waaaaay hotter!
The two women come together away from the table and Katie offers her hand to the champion, but Zoey pulls her into an embrace instead. They disengage and Zoey puts her forehead against that of Katie, saying something that makes the number one contender nod slowly. Breaking away, they both take a seat on opposite sides of the table, Madigan-Star positioning her belt at the end of the table facing the hard camera. She crosses one leg over the other, reclining a bit as Montes folds her hands on the table top. The fans, eager for what’s to come, both now and in their upcoming match, get a chant going for the two women…
“Vis-ion-ary! Vis-ion-ary! Vis-ion-ary!”
...that is a reference to the company in which both first achieved stardom, with Zoey amassing some impressive wins and a nice undefeated streak while Katie held a prominent championship for a record-breaking number of days. Neither woman can help but smile at this as Chrysanthe takes up the microphone.
Chrysanthe Kanelos: “Mrs. Madigan-Star, Mrs. Montes… you both know why you are here: the Queen of the South Championship. You two will compete for that title at (pay-per-view) and tonight you are here to make that official. I know that it is highly unlikely that anything will come of this, but I am hoping we can trust you two to be civil?
Katie rolls her eyes slightly and Zoey simply smiles and nods. That done, the General Manager steps back, both champion and contender picking up their microphones, with the former starting things off.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Eventually, it had to come to this. Talent like yours, Katie, is something that no amount of hate, disdain or bad luck can shut down. From the first time we met in the ring, to our becoming friends, then family, it became clear to me that you had something special within you… that your Zero Gravity Championship reign was just the start. And now, years later, here you are proving the naysayers wrong and the people who have been with you from the start very much correct. I don’t think I’m compromising anything by saying that I’m exceedingly proud of you.
The fans get swept up in the emotion a little bit, too, and start chanting Katie’s name a bit. The former Cumberland Jet isn’t sure what to make of this support… at least where it concerns the fans. Zoey, though, is quite happy with it. She lowers her microphone for a moment, letting her challenger soak it in, then lifts it back up.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Putting all that aside, though, neither of us are fools. We know that come (pay-per-view), our relationship is going to be on the back burner. Heck, it might be clear off the stove! Why? Because of this.”
She pats the Queen of the South Championship.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “But unlike so many other challengers, you stand out. You haven’t resorted to threats or insults, you haven’t talked any sort of trash over social media and you have been every bit the respectful young lady that I’ve always known you were. Which… makes it fair to say that I’m looking forward to this defense more than any other thus far. However, I am also taking it that much more seriously than any other, Katie. Because of our respect. Because I know, more than perhaps anyone else, just how good you can be.”
Koss: This is true! Katie Montes beat out nearly the entire roster of talent to gain the top contendership shot for the Queen of the South Championship in a rather impressive display!
Spazz: Yeah, totally shocked and fuckin' rocked our tiny little world, lunchbox!
The number one contender takes the microphone before re-folding her hands with the stem of the mic inside them.
Katie Montes: "As a quick aside, that chanting was a sound I never thought I'd hear again."
A slight chuckle of amazement escapes Montes's lips before she truly starts.
Katie Montes: "Being in this position is a place I never thought I'd be at again, either. It's been seven months since my last challenge to a title... I lost that. I burned many more bridges than I want to admit to after that night. I burned my bridge with IYH, I burned my bridge with Millennium, Lioness Pro never started for the second time, and Galactic closed up shop. I was four-for-four on places wanting nothing to do with me or wanting nothing to do with existing. That moment was when I decided ‘all right, this has gotta be it, no federation with any sense will want me after this stunt.’ I got sent to the Twitter spitroast for a second time after that, which... honestly deservedly so. The first time I can legally argue wasn't my fault, but the second time? That was on me. I messed up bad."
As opposed to a "You Deserved It" chant, the crowd simply sits in silence, hanging on the disgraced Montes's every word. Shockingly... well, at least to her, the crowd is kind of starting to get behind her.
Katie Montes: "But, as we all know... because I'm sitting here... the story doesn't end there. After it's trip from space, one federation landed in the south and got a rebellious attitude for it. It was here: SRW. Now... I'll admit, my initial reasoning for joining when I did was kinda selfish: I felt like Ms. Rhodes owed me one after I signed to Galactic and it closed before I got to wrestle one match there. But, over time, that feeling... it's--it's been gone, and it's going to stay gone. I don't feel like that now. I don't feel owed anything. I feel..."
Katie chokes up a little.
Katie Montes: "I feel respected here. When I'm in this ring, I... feel like I belong. I feel like I mean something. Joining this place has honest-to-God changed my life and career for the better in nearly... in nearly every facet. These feelings are ones... th-they're--they're ones I've not had in years. I know I'm kind of tripping over my own words here, and that's not a good look for a number one contender to a company's top title, but especially to you, Zoey? I'm nothing if not honest with my feelings."
Katie takes a breath.
Katie Montes: "I promise, this diatribe is going somewhere... I know I'm a little long-winded, but here's my big point: I'm just being honest. I've not resorted to threats or insults or trash talk because I'd rather be honest with everyone. Sometimes, honesty can hurt a hell of a lot more than just an insult. That's--that's something I've learned from my time on Twitter. When someone's being honest with you, you can tell. Sometimes it can lift you up to heights that your feelings have nary seen... and sometimes, it can force you to deactivate from the sheer pressure of that same honesty told by several others. If I were to insult you, or talk trash about you, or threaten you or yours, then that's not me being honest with anyone, especially you. Plus, I respect you too much as an athlete and as a person to resort to that anyway... but honestly? I'd also be lying to you if I said I didn't covet that title more than anything else right now."
Katie points to the Queen of the South Championship.
Katie Montes: "It's been over two years, Zoey. Two years since I've had any sort of shot at being a company's top champion. Two years of hardship after hardship after hardship. Two years of wondering if I'll ever get even one more shot. Two years of wondering if I threw away my only shot. I'm hungry and I'm desperate, almost to a fault, Zoey. I love you to death, but you're right by saying we aren't fools. That title means so much to you, and I've been in your shoes. I know how much your first singles title means. The fans were chanting Visionary earlier, I was the second-to-last Zero Gravity Champion. I held that title for 163 days: 11... days... short... of breaking Ziu Zhong's record reign. I was one show away from having a proper place in VoW history before Ace Watson kicked me in the gut and crushed my dreams. I don't want to do that to you, Zoey, you and I both know that. I really don't... but that Queen of the South title right there means too much now. I'm too close to this. I'm too close to getting back to where you and I both KNOW I can be... but what we don't know is whether or not this is my only shot. That's what's kept me up at night: is this my only shot? Have I come this far for a one-time opportunity? If so..."
Katie takes a pen and writes down her signature on the contract.
Katie Montes: "Better not waste it, huh?"
Watching silently, the whole time making no move to interrupt Katie’s monologue, Zoey nods slowly. By now, the smile is gone; the champion looks rather somber, as though her emotions might be getting the better of her. Even Chrysanthe looks to be moved by the words of the number one contender. It takes several moments, most of them spent staring at the freshly-applied ink on the contract, before Zoey can speak up.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “That’s… what makes this so hard for me and why I’m trying to be better than my best: because the state you’re in right now in every way, shape and form tells me that you’re ready to go to the ends of the earth for the right to be called Queen of the South. And at any point before almost a year ago? I would be out there in that crowd-”
She points at the fans.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “-and cheering louder than any of them. Internally, that is still the case. Whereas you have tasted prominent singles glory before, though, I have not. Not before this.”
Picking up the championship, Zoey stares longingly at it, like a lover to their significant other, before putting it over her shoulder again and reclaiming the mic.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “You know what this feels like, Katie. You know how it feels to be the one that everyone is gunning for. You know that swelling in your chest when you look at the title, or see your reflection with it over your shoulder… that pride that makes you stand a little straighter and throw your shoulders back, puffing out your chest and grinning from ear to ear in your private moments. This isn’t your first dance. For me, though? It is. And I’m not ready to leave the dance floor yet. That’s what makes this so hard. The thought that if I want to keep this roll going, I’m going to have to break your heart and put that doubt back into you again. I don’t want to. But I have to. It’s the only way.”
It is clearly upsetting her a little to even say it, but Zoey presses on.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Because if I don’t, I lose everything I have built here. And on top of that, I disappoint you and make you doubt yourself because you beat me when I wasn’t at my best. And if I win? You still doubt yourself because you lost, despite giving your everything and then some, something a wrestler should take pride in. But… that’s how it is to be a champion, isn’t it? Eventually, a match comes along that’s harder in the heart and soul than it is upon the body. Had we faced off for that Zero Gravity Championship, I have no doubt that it would be the same situation but with roles reversed.”
She smiles faintly, does the champion.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Now I’M the one getting long-winded. The point?”
Tossing her hair over her shoulder and taking a moment to sign the contract, Zoey rises to her feet, with Katie rising also.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Someone’s going to smile and someone’s going to cry at the end of (pay-per-view). We can’t change that. It is written in the stars. What we can do, though, is promise that no matter what we never stop cheering for one another and keep our family ties as strong as they ever were. Knowing we can do that will remove at least some weight from our shoulders.”
Extending her hand to her opponent, Zoey awaits Katie’s response, which is to take her offered hand. Unfortunately, before anything else can be said, the notes of “Wanted” by Ayak y Prok starts to play, boos beginning to rain down as the Southern Star Cross Tag Team Champions, La Rebellion, come out onto the stage followed by their masked army. La Silencia and La Torbellina at the forefront, come to the ramp and start making their way down, the latter with microphone in hand.
Koss: The fucking NERVE!
Spazz: Balls for Days, Fats! Gotta' give 'em that much!
La Torbellina: “The campeon mágica does it again! I swear, I though I saw Silencia smile… just a little bit!”
The boos are continually hurled at the tag champs. Silencia, though, looks about as far from smiling as it’s possible to be; even the mask can’t hide that she’s frowning hard.
La Torbellina: “But… I suppose the bruja has to do something to keep her spirits high! I mean, we took the fight to her across companies and made her look foolish while she teamed with the so-called boss, Senora Rhodes!”
More hatred from the fans, Torbellina making light of invading another company just to take shots at both the Queen of the South Champion and the owner of Southern Rebellion!
La Silencia: “Son cobardes sin importar adónde vayan.”
La Torbellina: “I couldn’t have said it any better myself!”
Katie seems a little confused but Zoey, staring at the tag champs, narrows her eyes. When Torbellina sees this, she smirks. They’ve reached the ring apron and stand upon it, only ropes and air between the two pairs.
La Torbellina: “Did we strike a nerve? Why don’t you do something about it, then? Or do you need Rhodes’ permission?”
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Vieni sul mio ring di wrestling e scoprilo. A meno che voi due non abbiate paura di una lotta leale.”
Silencia arches a brow, perhaps not understanding the words but certainly getting the tone. She looks at Torbellina, who nods, and the two of them enter the ring, a fight immediately breaking out! This time, though, Zoey meets them head-on and Katie only needs a moment to start fighting as well, taking on Torbellina while Zoey brawls with Silencia! The masked army surrounds the ring but security soon arrives while the women are slugging it out! The fight is soon broken up and the tag champs slink out of the ring, back behind their army while security keeps the Queen of the South and the number one contender from pursuing! Chrysanthe is seriously trying to talk some sense into Zoey but isn’t having much luck!
Katie, however, is under no such restraint; she hits the ropes and runs at the opposite side, leaping to the top and hitting a flipping senton on the tag champs and their large entourage! When she’s caught, though, Zoey brushes past the general manager, runs up the turnbuckles and moonsaults off, helping Katie wipe out La Rebellion while security, once more, has to dive in and break things up! This time, they manage to separate the four women while, back in the ring, Chrysanthe has one of the microphones!
Chrysanthe Kanelos: “That will be quite enough! If the four of you want a fight so bad, you’re going to do it on SRW’s terms! That said, at the next Wicked Tuesday, it will be La Rebellion versus Zoey Madigan-Star and Katie Montes in the main event! Now, security… get these four back to the locker room and make sure they behave!”
Security endeavors to do just that as the cameras turn to the commentary table for reactions.
Spazz: NEEEOOOIIICCCEEE!!!
Koss: Mrs. Kanelos wastes NO TIME getting down to business and has already booked the main event for next weak, featuring Katie Montes and Zoey Star up against La Rebellion in a tag team main event for the ages!!!
Spazz: Maybe they'll try fuckin' with Jenny too! It's been awhile since I seen a stabbin' up in this shit!
Koss: Settle down, Spazz-O! We'll be back with our main event, Ursula Von Rossbach defending the Ascendant Championship against Pet inside a Steel Rebar Cage!!!
Spazz: Nyyyyaaahhh!!!!
With Pet's harem looking on with fear outside the hellish Steel Rebar Cage structure, Pet and Ursula engage in battle and by engage we mean Ursula utterly steam rolls Pet out of the starting gate with a powerful shoulder block! Pet can't seem to run fast enough as the lady Terminator keeps up with her every move! Even when she manages a quick thumb to the eye, she only gets halfway up the cage before Ursula peels her off and violently slams her to the canvas! There's hate, anger, and fury in everything Ursula does, battering her foe against cage walls, bouncing her off the canvas, and in general just mauling her with brutal abandon! Pet ends up lying very still after Ursula press slams her into the cage wall, leaving her in a heap in the ring at her feet. A few of Pet's Harem start to climb the cage walls and Ursula snaps off a GREAT KICK to the cage itself, sending them falling off in their attempt but one at ringside catches her leg and HANDCUFFS HER ANKLE TO THE CAGE!!!
Pet smiles, feeling confident in her victory. She taunts Ursula, staying out of arm's length as the Lady Terminator reaches for her, hopping on one leg in the worst possible position! Part taunt, part great pain from head to toe, Pet starts climbing the cage wall very.... very slowly, almost sensually. She plays it up for the fans as Ursula pulls against that cuff with all her might.....
...Pet is over halfway up....
...THE CUFF SNAPS, Ursula falls on her rear from the effort but quickly gets back up to her feet. Pet feels the cage suddenly shake and looks down. With wide eyes she scrambles and Ursula gets to her feet, rushes up the cage wall and grabs Pet's foot! With a might roar, she yanks her off the cage wall and VIOLENTLY slams her to the canvas! Ursula does not let go of the leg and proceeds to reenact the famous scene from the Avengers where Hulk smashed Loki over and over! Ursula hurls her around the ring by her leg, slamming her back and forth on the canvas in a fit of renewed rage! She then pulls her into a double chicken wing and rushes across the ring to hit THE VON TERMINATOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!
Ursula leaves her lifeless, climbing the cage wall but the Harem harass her through the bars, trying to slow her up. She reaches through the bars and slams Dolly's head into the rebar, dropping her to the floor. She punches another in the throat, stomps the hand of another halfway through the bar and then starts to climb as quickly as she can. Over the top she goes and Ursula drops down to be assaulted by the few remaining Harem members! Even as her music plays and the announcement is made, she's easily disposing of them one shot at a time!
WINNER AND STILL ASCENDANT CHAMPION: URSULA VON ROSSBACH AT 11 MINUTES AND 40 SECONDS!!!
POST MATCH: Ursula then enters the ring, holding the belt over the still unconscious Pet's body. She then asks for a microphone and it is brought to her immediately.
UVR: Can you hear me, slave? I hope you can....
The Lady Terminator squats down over her beaten, bruised foe.
UVR: ....This happened because you did not respect me. By the time I am finished with you, you will either fear me, respect me, or a combination of both. This will not be a sexual relationship in any way, shape, or form because you disgust me and my first order is that you disband your Harem. A slave has no property or servants, you live to serve me now. Everything you own is mine. Everything you are is mine.
She moves in closer to the rubber clad face.
UVR: I cannot wait until you wake up to your new world, Rubber Maiden.
And with that, Ursula tosses the microphone down, rises, and leaves ringside and the bodies populating it, behind her.
Spazz: Uuuumm... is this legal?
Koss: This is the world of professional wrestling, where legality is questionable at best, but that was the stipulation Ursula gave if Pet wanted this match and without any doubt, Ursula just laid waste to her! Will there be enough left of Pet to even make this work?
Spazz: Bitch I'd play dead! Like buried under the Earth kinda' dead!
Koss: Maybe so, but I think Ms. Terminator would just dig your ass up and say, "Wake up Samurai, we got a city to burn!"
Spazz: ...Dude... not cool! Keanu deserves better!
Koss: You're right my bad and this is the end of the show people! Tune in for Love Hurts coming soon!!!!
Spazz: Wasn't sure who to run with because I kept sayin' GO HOT ONE! But they both haaaawT!
Koss: Hot or not, that match was straight fire and those two put on a serious clinic in that ring tonight! Impressive win for Chelsea Winston tonight over the tenured Talia Areano!
Spazz: Wonder if Talia will get steamed or give this Flying Scotsgirl her props?
LIL DREAM MACHINES VS MOTHER'S OF DESTRUCTION
Written by ZMS
Written by ZMS
Halo starts off against Dona, dwarfing the former Ascendant Champion with her size. Dona looks past this and locks up with the young blonde, lapsing into a series of strikes to try and bring Halo down to her physical level. Forearms to the jaw and knees to the midsection are the order of the day to start things off, allowing Rotten to whip Halo into the ropes. The larger woman comes back with a big boot, though, sending Rotten to the mat hard. The sheer length of those legs coupled with Halo’s speed making it far more damaging than it would appear! Nevertheless, Dona is right back up and ready to fight, blocking a haymaker from Halo and yanking her into a short-arm lariat. On instinct Halo moves to tag in B-Brat, but Rotten stops this until Halo whacks her with one of those long legs again! Stunned into letting go, Dona is still shaking it off when B-Brat busts in, tackling Rotten to the mat and delivering a series of right hands! Rocking her head side to side and talking all sorts of sweet trash, Brat pulls Rotten up and sends her into the ropes. Rotten comes in with a shoulder block that knocks the rookie to the mat, smirking down at her as Lyra laughs it up in the MoD’s corner! Pointing at her partner, Dona grabs Brat by the hair and starts dragging her over to Lyra while the referee gives her hair about the follicle abuse! Tagging in LeVeux-Donavan, Dona blasts Brittany with a spinning heel kick while Lyra downs her with a leg sweep, leading to a pin for two!
Shoving Brat into the corner, Lyra licks her hand and shushes the crowd before chopping the piss right out of Brittany! She staggers out of the corner clutching her chest while Lyra follows after her, sweetly taunting the rookie! Not taking kindly to this, Brittany hauls off and slaps the Fire-Breathing Wolf across the face! Dona’s eyes go wide from the corner, but she grins while Halo, blinking, shakes her head in disapproval! B-Brat, yelling back at the crowd for their reaction, finally turns back to see Lyra staring right into her eyes! She holds up her hands in a show of apology but goes for a low blow almost immediately! Lyra catches her leg and, with a grin, drives her head into the brow of Brittany, causing her to fall back and land on her ass. Crouching down, Lyra says something to the dazed B-Brat before returning the slap and pinning Brittany for a short two! Realizing the fight she’s in, Brittany kicks it into another gear, surprising the OTHER former Ascendant Champion with a hairmare and two running knees to the seated Lyra’s back! She kicks out at two when B-Brat makes a pin attempt, but is victimized by a springboard hurricanrana and has to kick out again! Empowered by her success, the arrogance takes over again and Brittany heads to the ropes again… however, she sails right into a waiting Lyra, who turns it into a double-knee gutbuster for a near-fall! Whipped into the ropes, B-Brat is blind-tagged and manages to slip out of the ring before Lyra can retort, allowing Halo to sail in with a spear to knock Lyra to the mat!
Fully putting her considerable size to use, Halo takes the fight to Lyra, whipping her into the turnbuckles with enough recoil to send her down to the mat. Even Dona winces as Lyra is hoisted up high and left to drop chest-first to the mat by the 5’10” powerhouse. Enforcing the trash talk once again coming from her team’s corner, Halo tries another big boot, though Lyra ducks the move and kicks Halo’s leg from under her. She goes for the tag to Dona, but Halo catches her by the leg and twists her down to the mat, ramming that leg into the canvas knee-first! Lyra is a bit damaged by this, but kicks away Halo when she tries an ankle lock, sending the larger woman into the ropes! A leg drop attempt follows and the Fire-Breathing Wolf rolls aside, having just enough time to tag in the Toxic Knockout! Dona is more than ready to scrap again, hitting a basement clothesline on Halo before mounting her and delivering some straight rights! Halo goes for the eyes, ripping away until she’s free, leaving Dona flailing for a moment! She tags in B-Brat and the two quickly take advantage, hitting GIMME MORE on Dona, prompting Lyra to break up the pin and, thus, cause a big brawl!
Lyra is all too happy to lay the fight to Brittany while Halo tries to keep working over Dona in hopes of putting her down. The Toxic Knockout has other plans, however, and shows her own nasty side by dropping Halo face-first on the top turnbuckle and hitting a Saito suplex to follow-up! B-Brat is back to working nasty again, rubbing Lyra’s face in the mat after attacking the knee again to bring her down! Lyra looks up after this and, as B-Brat trash talks yet again, grabs the young woman by the mouth… literally! Having hold of Brittany’s lower jaw, Lyra tightens her grip on the rookie before Brittany finally yanks herself free… just in time for Dona to blast her in the face with TOXIC MIST! The referee, distracted with Halo, fails to see this, but does see Lyra trapping Brittany’s arms and launching into the GREEN NIGHTMARE, a series of headbutts that leaves the remnants of Dona’s mist smeared across Lyra’s face! Halo, attacking from behind, sends Dona into the buckles and grabs Lyra around the waist, dumping her with a big German suplex! Landing on her head and shoulders, LeVeux-Donavan is a tad wobbly, but Halo trying to get Brittany back in the fight allows both Mothers of Destruction to recover! The four end up facing off, tension and fire between them, before all four clash in the middle of the ring again! The brawl is too wild and woolly to call… and it seems that the referee has had enough when the bell rings… which does nothing to stop either Dream Machines OR Mothers! The official announcement comes through…
TIME LIMIT DRAW AT 20 MINUTES
...but not one of these four women are willing to stop the fight! Several more referees and officials do manage to break it up, confining the MoD to the ring while the Dream Machines back up the ramp! B-Brat screeches at Dona and Lyra, pointing at her mostly-green face while Halo also backs up her young partner! In the ring? The Toxic Knockout and the Fire-Breathing Wolf grin and dare the two to come back for more… though thankfully (unless you’re a fan!) the officials keep this from happening!
Koss: This is going to be remembered as a classic match! Mother's of Destruction battled the Lil' Dream Machines, fresh off their victory against the SMC Riot Group and now fighting the Mother's of Destruction to a stand still!
Spazz: Halo and B-Brat's stock be RISING everyday yo! Who puts time limits on matches any fucking way? I say let 'em go till they stop, not some fuckin' stop watch!
Koss: You do remember the rule that time is money, right? The longer the show goes, the higher the everything else is.
Spazz: I remember when it wasn't like this. You remember the days when wrestling companies could just go on and on as long as they like?
Koss: Yes and most of those companies aren't around anymore for that very reason.

COASTAL EMPIRE CHAMPIONSHIP SIGNING
COASTAL EMPIRE CHAMPIONSHIP SIGNING
“Bulletproof” by Godsmack blares over the PA. The crowd already pops upon recognizing the entrance song as Dona Rotten’s. The cheers, however, get even louder when they see Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton walking beside Dona, wearing a smile on her face and holding the briefcase containing their contract in her right hand. A quick zoom up reveals the Coastal Empire Championship draped over The Titaness' right shoulder.
As the two sit down across from each other, Sam lifts a microphone that she had been holding in her left hand.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: So I just wanna say right here and now … it hasn’t once slipped my mind that any of the past fights could have been the one where I lost my streak, where my reign came to an end.
Her head shakes as she sets the case down and begins opening it.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: I don’t know what’s sadder - the way most others have talked to me as if I don’t know this, or hearing how cocky they are that they’ll be the one to beat me … only to have their own ass handed right back to them.
The audience seems to voice their agreement, quickly going silent as Sam raises her right index finger in the air.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: But … and here’s the huge ‘but’ … if I really have to risk losing the Coastal Empire Championship at the next Pay-Per-View?
Sam stands up, sets the strap down, and raises Dona’s right arm into the air.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: Then you know what?! Who better to lose it to than this badass of a woman?! She would hold that strap as proudly as I have! I don’t think it -- I know it! And so …
Sam grins as she lets go of Dona’s arm and sits back down.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: That’s why I wanted to tell you face-to-face right here and now, Dona … win or lose? I really am looking so goddamn forward to our fight.
Sam finally turns the contract around so it’s facing Dona and hands her over the pen.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: So, what say you, Dona? Are you ready to make this shit official?!
Dona merely smirks as she clicks down on the pen after taking it from Sam.
Dona Rotten: Who do you think you’re talking to? Of course I am! We’ve waited too damn long for this to happen, anyway! Am I ready?! You bet your ass I am!
The audience roars in approval, seeming as eager as Samantha and Dona are to meet up in the ring finally come the next Pay-Per-View. Despite most signings tending to have at least one individual ready to beat the other or slam them through a table, none of that can be sensed here.
There’s nothing but respect between Dona and Samantha; a rare sight to be certain. And it continues to be displayed from the start to end of the process. As Dona finishes putting her name on the dotted line, Sam takes the pen and rather quickly - eagerly even - jots her own name down also.
The two wrestlers stand back up and begin leaving the ring. This time, while they leave, “You’re Going Down” by Sick Puppies echoes over the PA as the two steadily disappear from view, likely going to turn the contract in to the interim GM's office!
Spazz: I'm betting money that match is gonna' fuckin' surprise everybody!
Koss: Anything with Dona Rotten is a surprise and anything with Samantha Hamilton is elevated. Of course it's going to be an epic for the ages!
As the two sit down across from each other, Sam lifts a microphone that she had been holding in her left hand.

HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP TRIPLE THREAT!!!
JULIET BLACK (C) VS JENNIFER WILLIAMS VS CHRISTINA ZDUNICH
JULIET BLACK (C) VS JENNIFER WILLIAMS VS CHRISTINA ZDUNICH
The match begins with three armed women surrounded by a wild assortment of weapons- Juliet Black with a barbwire wrapped bundle of light tubes, Jennifer Williams with a steel chair, and Christina Zdunich with a kendo stick. Jennifer and Christina bull rush the champ who promptly ducks and rolls between them, shattering her light tube payload across Jennifer's back and instantly dropping her to her knees with a cry of pain. Juliet ducks a wild spin around and swing by Christina, shattering what's left of the tubes upon Christina's stomach and slicing her exposed mid drift in the process! Juliet then catches Christina and drops her with a fast and dirty DDT right on several shards of broken glass!
Thinking fast, Juliet then gathers up a stack of wrapped photo copy paper and knocks a rising Jennifer right off her feet with it!!! The Hardcore Champ then pulls a single sheet of paper from it, smiling wickedly at the confused crowd. Taking Jennifer's hand, she places a sheet of paper and delivers a vicious PAPER CUT, followed by another and another between the webs of those fingers! The hubris of torture leaves Juliet open to a chair shot to the back from Christina! Again and again... *FWHACK! FWHACK! FWHACK!* the Blossoming one lays into Juliet with chair shot after chair shot, driving the woman to her knees over and over! The final shot sees Juliet turning at the last second to have the chair tossed up and DROPKICKED IN HER FACE, followed by SMELL THE ROSES Handspring Moonsault and a pinfall but Juliet kicks out at two!
Christina rises in time to get hit with Jennifer's SPLIT STEP-UP ENZIGURI KICK! She then gathers Juliet up, wrenches her hand and pulls her into a front facelock, the promptly Snap DDT's her onto that chair, covering her for the pin! The pin is broken up by Christina with a springboard Moonsault across both women, followed by a low orbit Enziguri kick right in Jennifer's face! Juliet is back on her feet and taking a full on assault from Crystal Z, who comes at her with chops and kicks, driving her back into the ropes and then dropkicking her out of the ring!
Christina rushes full speed ahead towards a rising Jennifer and latches on with a Hurricanrana, but Jennifer tosses her up off her shoulders, spins around and hits SWEET DREAMS on Christina, going for the cover! Juliet reaches through the ropes to pull Jennifer by the leg out to the arena floor where she proceeds to assault her with European brawling. Bicep uppercuts, knee shots, wicked chops, ear pops, and every manner of brutal strike that comes to the Champion's twisted mind. A reach into the ring to gather a weapon provides her with a steel chair, which immediately collides with the top of Jennifer's head, driving her to the floor in a heap! Christina goes for a pin on the Arena floor but surprisingly gets a 2.993 count!
Christina gathers the chair up again and as she raises it above her head, she finds it impacting with her own skull as Juliet Black sails over the top rope with a FLYING TOPE STOMP right on that raised weapon!!! Zdunich goes down in a surprised, twitching heap as Juliet hits the nearby time keeper's table rip first with a wince of pain! Though hurting, it is Juliet who gets to her feet first and initiates a brawl with Jennifer Williams, battering her stunned foe until a surprise shot in those tender ribs causes her to recoil in agony! Blow after blow to that same spot sends her jolting away from Jennifer. It's when the Lady Dream presses her luck that THE BARE KNUCKLE GLAM cracks her right in the face with Juliet falling across her for a pin, but Christina breaks it up just barely!
Christina gathers up the Kendo stick and proceeds to batter Juliet Black with it, whipping her over and over as the weapon splinters and begins to break in short order from the loud, savage smacks reverberating over the crowd. Lacerations and welts form on Juliet's back and yet the champion keeps fighting to get back up!
Jennifer Williams takes the opportunity to catch Christina by surprise with a boot to the gut and AN EXECUTIVE DECISION!!!! However as she makes the pin, she's caught off guard by an angry Juliet Black catching her in THE FADE 2 BLACK! Her cry of pain is choked out by the Crossface Chickenwing and Bodyscissor combo, all on top of Christina Zdunich's unconscious form! She tries but can't escape the hold and with not even an option for a rope break in a Hardcore match, she taps her one free hand on the back of Christina's head!
WINNER AND STILL HARDCORE CHAMPION: JULIET BLACK BY SUBMISSION AT 15 MINUTES AND 13 SECONDS!
Spazz: BEEEE-RUTAL!! LOVED IT! 9 outta' 10!
Koss: Why only a 9?
Spazz: No wardrobe malfunctions! Boooooo!
Koss: Ass.
Spazz: No the ass was concealed, albeit barely. Tho dawg, DID YOU SEE THE PAPERCUT SPOT? Holy fuck that had me cringing in my seat!
Koss: Everyone underestimates the power of a papercut.
BACKSTAGE SEGMENT
The camera took in a scene, simple in it's construction but far more complicated than it's appearance. It was not by the construction of the set, for there was none. Just a quiet locker room painted in dark, muted colors with a lone occupant before the camera seated upon her bench and dressed in full ring regalia. In her considerably strong hands rests a gleaming championship with the word "Ascendant" across it's center plate, a smaller name plate on it's base that read "Ursula Von Rossbach." Into the lens with a grim, taciturn gaze filled with the focused intensity of the run itself, she stares back at the world looking upon her now.
UVR: Tonight I enter a match against someone who represents everything I find repugnant and disgusting about professional wrestling in this modern age. An overly sexualized caricature of a woman in fetish gear. She does nothing to further the cause of modern women in this sport but instead reminds us of a time when women in wrestling were considered little more than set pieces and play things for men.
Ursula scoffs at the very notion visibly.
UVR: ....and yet I let her get me angry on social media to the tune of saying that should I beat her tonight, she becomes my personal slave, that I would show her what REAL SLAVERY looks like. Ultimately I regret that decision because if she cannot find some sort of trickery to take this title from me, then I will have to deal with her annoying presence on a daily basis. Can she even paint a house? Does she know how to actually DO anything of a non-sexual nature? Can she even follow simple direction?
The champion slowly shakes her head and looks down at her belt with a soft sigh.
UVR: It looks like after tonight, those questions will be answered at my expense.
With an annoyed growl, she waves her hand and the camera cuts back to ringside.
Koss: Ursula will be in action later tonight facing Pet inside a steel rebar cage!
Spazz: Money says Pet gets splattered like a rubber ketchup packet! *SCOOOWSH!*

SOUTHERN CROSS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
LA REBELLION (C) VS WILDSIDE
LA REBELLION (C) VS WILDSIDE
Written by Pheonix/RC
It was time for the highly anticipated matchup between Wildside and La Rebelion. The two teams are seen jawing with one another before the bell rang. Still all four members of the match remained in the ring before Torbellina and Silencia step outside. Silencia and Zenna locked up as the crowd was hot for the beginning. Silencia sent Zenna into the turnbuckle. She ran and hit a huge elbow to Zenna. She taunted to the crowd as the boos echoed. Zenna hopped back to her feet quickly and hit a huge side kick to the knee of Silencia. As Silencia dropped to her knee she was met with a huge kick to the jaw. After a few back and forth punches Zenna gets the upper hand hitting a snap ddt. Feeling the energy exerted from the back and forth both competitors stay down for a moment. Silencia then rolled to her corner and tagged in Torbellina. Torbellina ran and knocked Seleana off the apron. She looked down at Seleana. Zenna rolls up Turbellina but is only able to get a two count. As the two rise, Torbellina caught her with an elbow and after A few moments of slow methodical beating from Torbellina that drove her into the ropes the referee stepped in to break them up. Zenna slowly used the ropes to stand. Torbellina approached Zenna who rolls toward her corner and tagged in Seleana! The much fresher half of Wildside began hitting punches to both members of La Rebelion. She hit a body slam on Torbellina before climbing to the top rope, then followed with THE CAT'S EYE but only got a 2 as Silencia pulled the referee out of the ring.
With the referee out all hell broke loose. The two teams kept battling it all out in a wild melee in the ring! Torbellina dropped Zenna throat first onto the barricade. Seleana is tossed into the ring and both members of La Rebelion slid into the ring after. Seleana catches them them both with a low split leg kick to the guts to double over both Silencia and Torbellina! The referee got back into the ring as La Rebelion reversed it and they both plant Seleana with a huge DDT! Silencia went for the cover but only got a 2 as Zenna dove from out of nowhere with a Senton Splash!!!
The referee, heavily distracted with trying to remove the illegal parties, starting with Zenna Zdunich, fails to see that Torbellina had gotten ahold of one of the tag championships in all of the excitement and while the referee's back was turned and Seleana was a bit out of it still, rocks her off her feet with a running belt shot, tossing it out of the ring on impact, then rolling and driving past the referee to drive Zenna out of the ring, the two landing outside with a tackle through the ropes and promptly landing on the floor in a brawling heap!
Meanwhile Silencia sizes up the unconscious Seleana from the top rope.... then dives hitting ¡PARA LA TRINIDAD! with the fans booing in uproar as she hooks the leg and secures the victory. Zenna almost saves Seleana, but the axe handle across Silencia's back isn't enough!
WINNER AND STILL SOUTHERN CROSS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: LA REBELLION BY PINFALL AT 11 MINUTES AND 21 SECONDS!
POST MATCH: La Rebellion leave the ring, gathering up their belts and hoisting them in the air. There's a lightning flash on the stage and the lights go out, all but one.... the Titan Tron screen showing blue burning letters that read M.O.D.....
Koss: Ominous!
Spazz: Mother's of Destruction already eye-balling them Champs yo!
Koss: La Rebellion is wracking up an impressive enemy tally tonight. They better watch their back!
IN RING SEGMENT
QUEEN OF THE SOUTH CONTRACT SIGNING
SRW Wicked Tuesday returns from a commercial break with a table set-up in the ring, a contract and two microphones upon it. Due to an attack earlier in the evening, it is Chrysanthe Kanelos, the reinstated general manager, who is overseeing the signing as opposed to Melinda Rhodes. Also already in the ring are the number one contender, Katie Montes, and the Queen of the South Champion, Zoey Madigan-Star.Koss: AND WE'RE BACK FROM THE BREAK!
Spazz: Woah! Chrys K is back dawg!
Koss: Indeed. The Rebel was in talks with her before this show, but apparently with the situation from earlier in the night, she had to pull the trigger much sooner than she intended to on the new GM taking over Wicked Tuesday!
Spazz: No offense to the boss, but Chrys is waaaaay hotter!
The two women come together away from the table and Katie offers her hand to the champion, but Zoey pulls her into an embrace instead. They disengage and Zoey puts her forehead against that of Katie, saying something that makes the number one contender nod slowly. Breaking away, they both take a seat on opposite sides of the table, Madigan-Star positioning her belt at the end of the table facing the hard camera. She crosses one leg over the other, reclining a bit as Montes folds her hands on the table top. The fans, eager for what’s to come, both now and in their upcoming match, get a chant going for the two women…
“Vis-ion-ary! Vis-ion-ary! Vis-ion-ary!”
...that is a reference to the company in which both first achieved stardom, with Zoey amassing some impressive wins and a nice undefeated streak while Katie held a prominent championship for a record-breaking number of days. Neither woman can help but smile at this as Chrysanthe takes up the microphone.
Chrysanthe Kanelos: “Mrs. Madigan-Star, Mrs. Montes… you both know why you are here: the Queen of the South Championship. You two will compete for that title at (pay-per-view) and tonight you are here to make that official. I know that it is highly unlikely that anything will come of this, but I am hoping we can trust you two to be civil?
Katie rolls her eyes slightly and Zoey simply smiles and nods. That done, the General Manager steps back, both champion and contender picking up their microphones, with the former starting things off.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Eventually, it had to come to this. Talent like yours, Katie, is something that no amount of hate, disdain or bad luck can shut down. From the first time we met in the ring, to our becoming friends, then family, it became clear to me that you had something special within you… that your Zero Gravity Championship reign was just the start. And now, years later, here you are proving the naysayers wrong and the people who have been with you from the start very much correct. I don’t think I’m compromising anything by saying that I’m exceedingly proud of you.
The fans get swept up in the emotion a little bit, too, and start chanting Katie’s name a bit. The former Cumberland Jet isn’t sure what to make of this support… at least where it concerns the fans. Zoey, though, is quite happy with it. She lowers her microphone for a moment, letting her challenger soak it in, then lifts it back up.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Putting all that aside, though, neither of us are fools. We know that come (pay-per-view), our relationship is going to be on the back burner. Heck, it might be clear off the stove! Why? Because of this.”
She pats the Queen of the South Championship.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “But unlike so many other challengers, you stand out. You haven’t resorted to threats or insults, you haven’t talked any sort of trash over social media and you have been every bit the respectful young lady that I’ve always known you were. Which… makes it fair to say that I’m looking forward to this defense more than any other thus far. However, I am also taking it that much more seriously than any other, Katie. Because of our respect. Because I know, more than perhaps anyone else, just how good you can be.”
Koss: This is true! Katie Montes beat out nearly the entire roster of talent to gain the top contendership shot for the Queen of the South Championship in a rather impressive display!
Spazz: Yeah, totally shocked and fuckin' rocked our tiny little world, lunchbox!
The number one contender takes the microphone before re-folding her hands with the stem of the mic inside them.
Katie Montes: "As a quick aside, that chanting was a sound I never thought I'd hear again."
A slight chuckle of amazement escapes Montes's lips before she truly starts.
Katie Montes: "Being in this position is a place I never thought I'd be at again, either. It's been seven months since my last challenge to a title... I lost that. I burned many more bridges than I want to admit to after that night. I burned my bridge with IYH, I burned my bridge with Millennium, Lioness Pro never started for the second time, and Galactic closed up shop. I was four-for-four on places wanting nothing to do with me or wanting nothing to do with existing. That moment was when I decided ‘all right, this has gotta be it, no federation with any sense will want me after this stunt.’ I got sent to the Twitter spitroast for a second time after that, which... honestly deservedly so. The first time I can legally argue wasn't my fault, but the second time? That was on me. I messed up bad."
As opposed to a "You Deserved It" chant, the crowd simply sits in silence, hanging on the disgraced Montes's every word. Shockingly... well, at least to her, the crowd is kind of starting to get behind her.
Katie Montes: "But, as we all know... because I'm sitting here... the story doesn't end there. After it's trip from space, one federation landed in the south and got a rebellious attitude for it. It was here: SRW. Now... I'll admit, my initial reasoning for joining when I did was kinda selfish: I felt like Ms. Rhodes owed me one after I signed to Galactic and it closed before I got to wrestle one match there. But, over time, that feeling... it's--it's been gone, and it's going to stay gone. I don't feel like that now. I don't feel owed anything. I feel..."
Katie chokes up a little.
Katie Montes: "I feel respected here. When I'm in this ring, I... feel like I belong. I feel like I mean something. Joining this place has honest-to-God changed my life and career for the better in nearly... in nearly every facet. These feelings are ones... th-they're--they're ones I've not had in years. I know I'm kind of tripping over my own words here, and that's not a good look for a number one contender to a company's top title, but especially to you, Zoey? I'm nothing if not honest with my feelings."
Katie takes a breath.
Katie Montes: "I promise, this diatribe is going somewhere... I know I'm a little long-winded, but here's my big point: I'm just being honest. I've not resorted to threats or insults or trash talk because I'd rather be honest with everyone. Sometimes, honesty can hurt a hell of a lot more than just an insult. That's--that's something I've learned from my time on Twitter. When someone's being honest with you, you can tell. Sometimes it can lift you up to heights that your feelings have nary seen... and sometimes, it can force you to deactivate from the sheer pressure of that same honesty told by several others. If I were to insult you, or talk trash about you, or threaten you or yours, then that's not me being honest with anyone, especially you. Plus, I respect you too much as an athlete and as a person to resort to that anyway... but honestly? I'd also be lying to you if I said I didn't covet that title more than anything else right now."
Katie points to the Queen of the South Championship.
Katie Montes: "It's been over two years, Zoey. Two years since I've had any sort of shot at being a company's top champion. Two years of hardship after hardship after hardship. Two years of wondering if I'll ever get even one more shot. Two years of wondering if I threw away my only shot. I'm hungry and I'm desperate, almost to a fault, Zoey. I love you to death, but you're right by saying we aren't fools. That title means so much to you, and I've been in your shoes. I know how much your first singles title means. The fans were chanting Visionary earlier, I was the second-to-last Zero Gravity Champion. I held that title for 163 days: 11... days... short... of breaking Ziu Zhong's record reign. I was one show away from having a proper place in VoW history before Ace Watson kicked me in the gut and crushed my dreams. I don't want to do that to you, Zoey, you and I both know that. I really don't... but that Queen of the South title right there means too much now. I'm too close to this. I'm too close to getting back to where you and I both KNOW I can be... but what we don't know is whether or not this is my only shot. That's what's kept me up at night: is this my only shot? Have I come this far for a one-time opportunity? If so..."
Katie takes a pen and writes down her signature on the contract.
Katie Montes: "Better not waste it, huh?"
Watching silently, the whole time making no move to interrupt Katie’s monologue, Zoey nods slowly. By now, the smile is gone; the champion looks rather somber, as though her emotions might be getting the better of her. Even Chrysanthe looks to be moved by the words of the number one contender. It takes several moments, most of them spent staring at the freshly-applied ink on the contract, before Zoey can speak up.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “That’s… what makes this so hard for me and why I’m trying to be better than my best: because the state you’re in right now in every way, shape and form tells me that you’re ready to go to the ends of the earth for the right to be called Queen of the South. And at any point before almost a year ago? I would be out there in that crowd-”
She points at the fans.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “-and cheering louder than any of them. Internally, that is still the case. Whereas you have tasted prominent singles glory before, though, I have not. Not before this.”
Picking up the championship, Zoey stares longingly at it, like a lover to their significant other, before putting it over her shoulder again and reclaiming the mic.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “You know what this feels like, Katie. You know how it feels to be the one that everyone is gunning for. You know that swelling in your chest when you look at the title, or see your reflection with it over your shoulder… that pride that makes you stand a little straighter and throw your shoulders back, puffing out your chest and grinning from ear to ear in your private moments. This isn’t your first dance. For me, though? It is. And I’m not ready to leave the dance floor yet. That’s what makes this so hard. The thought that if I want to keep this roll going, I’m going to have to break your heart and put that doubt back into you again. I don’t want to. But I have to. It’s the only way.”
It is clearly upsetting her a little to even say it, but Zoey presses on.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Because if I don’t, I lose everything I have built here. And on top of that, I disappoint you and make you doubt yourself because you beat me when I wasn’t at my best. And if I win? You still doubt yourself because you lost, despite giving your everything and then some, something a wrestler should take pride in. But… that’s how it is to be a champion, isn’t it? Eventually, a match comes along that’s harder in the heart and soul than it is upon the body. Had we faced off for that Zero Gravity Championship, I have no doubt that it would be the same situation but with roles reversed.”
She smiles faintly, does the champion.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Now I’M the one getting long-winded. The point?”
Tossing her hair over her shoulder and taking a moment to sign the contract, Zoey rises to her feet, with Katie rising also.
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Someone’s going to smile and someone’s going to cry at the end of (pay-per-view). We can’t change that. It is written in the stars. What we can do, though, is promise that no matter what we never stop cheering for one another and keep our family ties as strong as they ever were. Knowing we can do that will remove at least some weight from our shoulders.”
Extending her hand to her opponent, Zoey awaits Katie’s response, which is to take her offered hand. Unfortunately, before anything else can be said, the notes of “Wanted” by Ayak y Prok starts to play, boos beginning to rain down as the Southern Star Cross Tag Team Champions, La Rebellion, come out onto the stage followed by their masked army. La Silencia and La Torbellina at the forefront, come to the ramp and start making their way down, the latter with microphone in hand.
Koss: The fucking NERVE!
Spazz: Balls for Days, Fats! Gotta' give 'em that much!
La Torbellina: “The campeon mágica does it again! I swear, I though I saw Silencia smile… just a little bit!”
The boos are continually hurled at the tag champs. Silencia, though, looks about as far from smiling as it’s possible to be; even the mask can’t hide that she’s frowning hard.
La Torbellina: “But… I suppose the bruja has to do something to keep her spirits high! I mean, we took the fight to her across companies and made her look foolish while she teamed with the so-called boss, Senora Rhodes!”
More hatred from the fans, Torbellina making light of invading another company just to take shots at both the Queen of the South Champion and the owner of Southern Rebellion!
La Silencia: “Son cobardes sin importar adónde vayan.”
La Torbellina: “I couldn’t have said it any better myself!”
Katie seems a little confused but Zoey, staring at the tag champs, narrows her eyes. When Torbellina sees this, she smirks. They’ve reached the ring apron and stand upon it, only ropes and air between the two pairs.
La Torbellina: “Did we strike a nerve? Why don’t you do something about it, then? Or do you need Rhodes’ permission?”
Zoey Madigan-Star: “Vieni sul mio ring di wrestling e scoprilo. A meno che voi due non abbiate paura di una lotta leale.”
Silencia arches a brow, perhaps not understanding the words but certainly getting the tone. She looks at Torbellina, who nods, and the two of them enter the ring, a fight immediately breaking out! This time, though, Zoey meets them head-on and Katie only needs a moment to start fighting as well, taking on Torbellina while Zoey brawls with Silencia! The masked army surrounds the ring but security soon arrives while the women are slugging it out! The fight is soon broken up and the tag champs slink out of the ring, back behind their army while security keeps the Queen of the South and the number one contender from pursuing! Chrysanthe is seriously trying to talk some sense into Zoey but isn’t having much luck!
Katie, however, is under no such restraint; she hits the ropes and runs at the opposite side, leaping to the top and hitting a flipping senton on the tag champs and their large entourage! When she’s caught, though, Zoey brushes past the general manager, runs up the turnbuckles and moonsaults off, helping Katie wipe out La Rebellion while security, once more, has to dive in and break things up! This time, they manage to separate the four women while, back in the ring, Chrysanthe has one of the microphones!
Chrysanthe Kanelos: “That will be quite enough! If the four of you want a fight so bad, you’re going to do it on SRW’s terms! That said, at the next Wicked Tuesday, it will be La Rebellion versus Zoey Madigan-Star and Katie Montes in the main event! Now, security… get these four back to the locker room and make sure they behave!”
Security endeavors to do just that as the cameras turn to the commentary table for reactions.
Spazz: NEEEOOOIIICCCEEE!!!
Koss: Mrs. Kanelos wastes NO TIME getting down to business and has already booked the main event for next weak, featuring Katie Montes and Zoey Star up against La Rebellion in a tag team main event for the ages!!!
Spazz: Maybe they'll try fuckin' with Jenny too! It's been awhile since I seen a stabbin' up in this shit!
Koss: Settle down, Spazz-O! We'll be back with our main event, Ursula Von Rossbach defending the Ascendant Championship against Pet inside a Steel Rebar Cage!!!
Spazz: Nyyyyaaahhh!!!!
ASCENDANT CHAMPIONSHIP STEEL REBAR CAGE MATCH!
URSULA VON ROSSBACH (C) VS PET
URSULA VON ROSSBACH (C) VS PET
With Pet's harem looking on with fear outside the hellish Steel Rebar Cage structure, Pet and Ursula engage in battle and by engage we mean Ursula utterly steam rolls Pet out of the starting gate with a powerful shoulder block! Pet can't seem to run fast enough as the lady Terminator keeps up with her every move! Even when she manages a quick thumb to the eye, she only gets halfway up the cage before Ursula peels her off and violently slams her to the canvas! There's hate, anger, and fury in everything Ursula does, battering her foe against cage walls, bouncing her off the canvas, and in general just mauling her with brutal abandon! Pet ends up lying very still after Ursula press slams her into the cage wall, leaving her in a heap in the ring at her feet. A few of Pet's Harem start to climb the cage walls and Ursula snaps off a GREAT KICK to the cage itself, sending them falling off in their attempt but one at ringside catches her leg and HANDCUFFS HER ANKLE TO THE CAGE!!!
Pet smiles, feeling confident in her victory. She taunts Ursula, staying out of arm's length as the Lady Terminator reaches for her, hopping on one leg in the worst possible position! Part taunt, part great pain from head to toe, Pet starts climbing the cage wall very.... very slowly, almost sensually. She plays it up for the fans as Ursula pulls against that cuff with all her might.....
...Pet is over halfway up....
...THE CUFF SNAPS, Ursula falls on her rear from the effort but quickly gets back up to her feet. Pet feels the cage suddenly shake and looks down. With wide eyes she scrambles and Ursula gets to her feet, rushes up the cage wall and grabs Pet's foot! With a might roar, she yanks her off the cage wall and VIOLENTLY slams her to the canvas! Ursula does not let go of the leg and proceeds to reenact the famous scene from the Avengers where Hulk smashed Loki over and over! Ursula hurls her around the ring by her leg, slamming her back and forth on the canvas in a fit of renewed rage! She then pulls her into a double chicken wing and rushes across the ring to hit THE VON TERMINATOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!
Ursula leaves her lifeless, climbing the cage wall but the Harem harass her through the bars, trying to slow her up. She reaches through the bars and slams Dolly's head into the rebar, dropping her to the floor. She punches another in the throat, stomps the hand of another halfway through the bar and then starts to climb as quickly as she can. Over the top she goes and Ursula drops down to be assaulted by the few remaining Harem members! Even as her music plays and the announcement is made, she's easily disposing of them one shot at a time!
WINNER AND STILL ASCENDANT CHAMPION: URSULA VON ROSSBACH AT 11 MINUTES AND 40 SECONDS!!!
POST MATCH: Ursula then enters the ring, holding the belt over the still unconscious Pet's body. She then asks for a microphone and it is brought to her immediately.
UVR: Can you hear me, slave? I hope you can....
The Lady Terminator squats down over her beaten, bruised foe.
UVR: ....This happened because you did not respect me. By the time I am finished with you, you will either fear me, respect me, or a combination of both. This will not be a sexual relationship in any way, shape, or form because you disgust me and my first order is that you disband your Harem. A slave has no property or servants, you live to serve me now. Everything you own is mine. Everything you are is mine.
She moves in closer to the rubber clad face.
UVR: I cannot wait until you wake up to your new world, Rubber Maiden.
And with that, Ursula tosses the microphone down, rises, and leaves ringside and the bodies populating it, behind her.
Spazz: Uuuumm... is this legal?
Koss: This is the world of professional wrestling, where legality is questionable at best, but that was the stipulation Ursula gave if Pet wanted this match and without any doubt, Ursula just laid waste to her! Will there be enough left of Pet to even make this work?
Spazz: Bitch I'd play dead! Like buried under the Earth kinda' dead!
Koss: Maybe so, but I think Ms. Terminator would just dig your ass up and say, "Wake up Samurai, we got a city to burn!"
Spazz: ...Dude... not cool! Keanu deserves better!
Koss: You're right my bad and this is the end of the show people! Tune in for Love Hurts coming soon!!!!
