***DARK MATCH*** Ryan Graves vs. Hirooki Rajin vs. Phinehas Crowe (The crowd didn’t have to wait long after being let in the doors of Arena VFG to see some quality entertainment. Walking out to no music, and no fanfare whatsoever is Hirooki Rajin. No one has absolutely no idea who he is as he wanders down to ringside looking at the crowd strangely. He hops in the ring and stretches his back on the ropes as ‘Till’ I Collapse’ by Eminem hits over the PA. Instant cheers for the tall gringo Ryan Graves as he makes his way out to ringside with his manager Gabrielle Hellstrom, not so much showing his popularity but the worldwide popularity of Eminem, as well as appreciation for his lovely manager. The crowd nods their head to the beat of the song as Ryan makes his way to ringside and pulls himself up onto the apron, locking eyes with Hirooki. He then steps up and over the ropes and and starts pacing, ready to pummel Hirooki. His theme silences and ‘Assault of the Silver Dragons’ by Nobuo Uematsu plays. There’s not much reaction for the theme, but as soon as Phinehas steps through the curtains there is a very small amount of cheers. He tries the rally on the crowd by waving for attention and slapping two Mexican kid hands at ringside, but the crowd just isn’t reciprocating. He slides in the ring and flashes the peace sign at his opposition, to which Ryan flips him off, getting a few boos from the audience. With all competitors in the ring, referee Malik Demitrious rings for the bell. The three men circle each other and prepare for combat, but Phinehas puts a stop to that circling and stops to shake Hirooki’s hand. Hirooki is hesitant, but shakes it back. Ryan isn’t the type to let an opportunity like this pass him by and he capitalizes with a well placed bicycle kick on the face of Phinehas! Phinehas rolls to the outside of the ring in pain, grasping his cheek as Ryan turns his target to Hirooki. Hirooki lets out a battle cry and throws a big spin kick at Ryan, only for Ryan to dodge the shot and floor Hirooki with a right hook! The shot sends him to the mat, but Hirooki comes back with fight left in him. He launches at Ryan for a flying elbow, but Ryan ducks, snatches Hirooki in a head and arms position, preparing for the Pure Pandemonium. Before he can pick up Hirooki though a recovered Phinehas hops on the apron and scales the top ropes to attack Ryan. Just as he’s about to launch, Gabrielle leaps up on the apron and shoves him on his ass, causing him to crash and burn! With all opposition out of the way, Ryan rag dolls Hirooki to the mat with the Pure Pandemonium, crushing Hirooki! Hirooki looks out of it, but Ryan doesn’t care. He lifts up Hirooki again, crushing him with another Pure Pandemonium! Loud boos as Ryan places a simple hand press to the chest, ending this.)

3!!!WINNER: Ryan Graves via PINFALL @ 1 minute, 03 seconds.Alpine: Ryan Graves looked absolutely dominant in his tryout! Phinehas wasn’t given a chance and Hirooki literally stood no chance!
Rodz: Yeah well at least Phinehas will be able to walk out of the arena. From the looks of the paramedics coming to ringside, Hirooki won’t be.
(Paramedics rush to ringside as Malik raises his hand in victory. He isn’t digging that and rips his hand away to have his hand raised by his manager Gabrielle. As soon as the paramedics arrive in the ring with a stretcher Ryan chuckles and takes his leave, having a good laugh with Gabrielle on his way to the back. Before he can exit through the curtains Seth Black appears, bringing on the cheers from the crowd. He hands Ryan his contract and a pen, then turns his back to him for a base. Ryan signs the contract, bringing on a loud mixed reaction from the audience. Seth and Ryan shake hands and head to the back with Gabrielle, leaving a groggy Phinehas in the ring who is recovering from landing on his head. He looks over to see Hirooki being loaded onto a stretcher and carried to a gurney, to which he shakes his head. He takes the steps out of the ring and walks past the paramedics with a look of sorrow on his face. Just as he looks back up to the ramp a mysterious figure races out of the curtains and drops Phinehas with a hard yakuza kick! Shock and boos from the audience as the shot sends Phinehas rolling to ringside, blood dripping from his mouth as he lands right by the apron. The paramedics do their best to stay out of the masked maniac’s way as he makes his way down cracking his knuckles. He then rips up Phinehas with ease from the ground, hooks him from behind, then drops him with a vicious burning hammer on the outer mat!)Alpine: Good god! Whoever this masked man is, he just dropped Phinehas on his head with that brutal burning hammer!
Rodz: So about Phinehas walking out of the arena...yup not happening.(As much as the fans hate this masked newcomer, they can’t help but chant “HOLY SHIT!!” as Phinehas lays there unconscious, blood pooling from his mouth and head. The masked man flexes and screams, proud of what he’s done as he stares down at the eyes wide opened Phinehas. He enjoys his kill for a good ten seconds before making his way to the back.)***ON AIR***
A long static camera shot of a sun-beaten asphalt highway fills the screen, then the camera pans up to a sign reading MEXICO - 57. Music swells in the background as a giant dust cloud boils up on the horizon, clearly heading towards the camera.

The next image fades in:PHOENIX WRESTLING REBIRTH CHAMPIONSHIP CASSIUS REED © vs. VERONICA VALIANT The image is then hit with the fender of the limo as it comes right at the camera. The view reverses as the limo passes, seeing Cassius atop his throne having a great time as they travel into Mexico! The last image focused on is the license plate of the limo before it fades from view:(We cut back to the arena where "You’re The Best" by Joe Esposito is just fading out over the soundsystem. The Fin-Nisher lifts a microphone to his lips, getting loud pops from the crowd.)
The Fin-Nisher: My brother is sad. I am angry. Do you know why this is? (The crowd pops, a lone person yelling out 'YOU SUCK' loud enough to get a ripple of laughter. Fin just shakes his head while Twin glowers.)
The Fin-Nisher: We have been a team for many years, we have been loyal to Slaine Rodrick, to Phoenix from the very beginning and what do we get in return? We get passed over. We do not get opportunities. Tonight, we will silence the naysayers by defeating Nessa Wall and Matt-
("Shame" by Stabbing Westward explodes over the speakers. Matt Stone comes out running, Nessa Wall following close behind. Their theme continues to deafen while Stone slides in under the ropes, pops up to his feet and crosses over to snatch the microphone from Fin’s hand.)
Matt Stone: Okay, that's about enough out of you.
(He turns toward the booing crowd, straightening the slick new Melody Lennox shirt he got on pre-order before looking out over the audience.)
Matt Stone: Before we get to your beating, and trust me, we will get there, I just have to clear a few things up real quick. First of all, you two don't have naysayers, that would require people actually talking about you. Wishful thinking, my friends. But I have something I need to say to the general public, an apology actually.
(He pauses, looking out at the crowd, glancing at Nessa before addressing the camera.)
Matt Stone: I'm sorry...
(He pauses again, and Nessa smiles, placing a hand over her heart like she's touched.)
Matt Stone: I'm sorry to you all and most importantly, I'm sorry to Frankie Starlight for giving you the impression that I'm someone you can push around. I'm sorry that I haven't made it perfectly clear to you, your goons and to everyone here that I am Matt fucking Stone and I'm the best wrestler this company has ever seen, and if you ever come at me again, you little grease-ball, much like the scandal that almost ruined Troy McClure’s career, you'll be sleeping with the fishes!
(Half of the audience cracks up at the reference while Nessa's expression morphs from hopeful to annoyed in ten seconds flat. She shakes her head, reaching to take the microphone from Stone.)
Nessa Wall: Let's be honest. We should be in the main event, not facing these two jokes. This will be the last-
(The rest of what she’s about to say is lost in the roar of the crowd and a loud squeal of feedback as Fin and Twin attack Wall and Stone, kicking off the match.)
Abominable Bitchsauce (Nessa Wall and Matt Stone) vs. The Fin and Twin Connection (The Fin-Nisher and Twin-Nisher) DING DING DING!!Alpine: Looks like Fin and Twin have had enough of the jaw jacking of Nessa and Matt and are looking to do a little jaw jacking of their own!!
Rodz: This is odd to see Fin and Twin this fearless with a tag team. Then again they did smell like a vodka distillery when they walked by the desk.
(Fin starts it off for his team while Matt starts it off for his. Referee Oz Oxford Jr. separates Nessa and Twin and sends them off to their corners. Fin fires away with a spastic frenzy of elbows on Matt Stone, backing him to a corner. However he makes the usual mistake of playing up to the crowd, trying to get some cheers. He got cheers, but they cost them as Matt Stone blocks his elbow attempt, pulls him in for a headbutt, then reverses and tosses him in the corner! From there Matt rains down with hard fists, forcing Fin to a covering up sitting position. He then converts to boots to the head and midsection, getting a brief warning from Oz for doing so. Once Oz clears out of his way Matt picks up Fin and drags him over to Nessa, tagging her in. Nessa walks to the ropes and scales onto the middle rope, showing her good balance. Matt then scoops up Fin and cracks him down on his knee with a backbreaker. From there Nessa flies off with a mid rope elbow drop on Fin, flopping him over on his face! Boos from the crowd as Matt looks down at Fin and laughs. Oz orders him out of the ring as Nessa walks around Fin, planning her next move.)
Alpine: So far this has been all Matt Stone and Nessa Wall! Nice double team move there from the group. If Nessa and Matt can pass the test they’ll prove to be quite the formidable tag team here.
Rodz: That’s if they care to stay here. Rumor is they’re doing a ‘worldwide tour’ and will be visiting another company to compete in their tag division. With as dangerous Hell Is Waiting is, I don’t blame them for booking before they look like jabronies.
Alpine: Wait, so they’re not exclusive talent?
Rodz: Nope, pay per appearance. It’s all the rage in the biz these days.(Nessa waits for Fin to get up to all fours, then she hits the ropes, coming back with a big senton splash on his back!! “OHHH!!!”s from the crowd as she converts it into a bow and arrow submission, arching the back of Fin. He screams out for his brother’s hand, which is only five feet away. Nessa sees this and scoots forward on the mat, pulling harder. Fin screams in pain as Oz slides down to check on Fin, seeing if he wants to give up. Fin fights through the pain, balling up a fist and wagging it in defiance. After nearly thirty seconds of pulling on a non-submitting Fin, Nessa gives up and yanks up Fin to his feet, hooking him in a headlock and dragging him to her corner. Just as she’s about to tag in Matt, Fin uses what power he has to throw her on her head with a backdrop driver!! “OHHH!!”s from the crowd as Nessa grabs the back of her head and kicks in pain. Matt screams out for Nessa to recoup and tag as Fin steadies himself with the top rope. A short breather later and he lunge tags in his brother the Twin-Nisher to a rousing ovation from the crowd! Nessa tries to scramble up to her feet but is met with a huge flying knee strike, knocking her to the outside of the ring! Twin gets to the center of the ring and raises a fist to the crowd, getting even more cheers.)Alpine: Fin found it somewhere in his battle worn body to backdrop driver Nessa and tag in his brother! What a devastating knee strike from Twin, who now has Nessa on the outside of the ring busted open!
Rodz: That knee shot was no joke. Looks like the Muay Thai training Twin has been doing is paying off.(Nessa is loopy and barely conscious on the outside of the ring as Twin eyeballs her on the outside. The fans raise out of their seats as Twin eyeballs Nessa and prepares to leap. However just as he makes it near the ropes, he’s intercepted by a springboard forearm to the face from Matt Stone! Matt screams and points down at Twin as Oz quickly moves in to reprimand him for the illegal action. This gives Nessa time to reach under the ring for something. Twin climbs towards the ropes, using them as leverage to stand. This is to his disadvantage as Nessa pulls a hammer from under the apron and smashes Twin in the side of the head of it! Heavy boos from the crowd as she quickly tosses the foreign object under the apron and rolls into the ring, the referee having not seen her dastardly deed. She then hoists up a barely standing Twin who is on spaghetti legs and tags in Matt. Before Nessa can drop his dead weight, Matt swoops in a catches him with a rear waist lock. He then backs up a little bit from his corner, leaving Nessa time to get in position. Once she’s set, she flies forward with a super kick, nailing the barely conscious Twin in the chin with Matt following up with the Shutting YOU Up!! The crowd boos away as Matt bridges for the pin!)

3!!!!WINNERS: Abominable Bitchsauce @ 5 minutes, 14 seconds.Alpine: Fin and Twin gave it their best, but the cagey veteran wit of Nessa paid off with that hammer shot to the face.
Rodz: Considering he put a twenty stitcher on her cheek with that flying knee, all is fair.(Nessa and Matt leave the ring as Fin and Twin regroup after the match, the pair approach the backstage area where a man in aviator glasses waits with a sheaf of paperwork, and he escorts them further into the building! The cameras lose the trio as they go around a corner, and the feed cuts elsewhere in the back as The Pale Queen Elena Dedraca is doing some stretches outside her locker room. Frankie Starlight is walking by and he of course pauses to check her out from behind, his voice rising up with a surprising mellow tone.)Frankie Starlight: Well well your rehabbing is going quite nicely! So hey, I'm Frankie Starlight, you know. I beat Nessa Wall just last show.(Elena straightens and turns to see his outstretched hand, looks at it and shakes her head.)Elena Dedraca: I'm a married lady.(Frankie's brows rise and he holds his hands up to show innocence.)Frankie Starlight: Nah nah doll it isn't like that at all! Like so what if you're married, I'm just lookin' to be friends.Elena Dedraca: I don't like to befriend people before matches.(Frankie's expression twists.)Frankie Starlight: Look here ya uppity bitch, just shake my damn hand!(He sticks his hand out again and she refuses, turning up her nose! He growls and grabs her by the back of her head, but before she can do anything violent in return, suddenly Oni Kamigawa is there and comes in with a running Yakuza kick, knocking Frankie to the concrete! Elena looks at him, then looks satisfied by Frankie at her feet.)Elena Dedraca: Thank...(Oni holds up a hand.)Oni Kamigawa: Don't thank me, I plan on doing the same to you in our match.(She watches as he leaves and then the camera cuts to ringside.)
Elena DeDraca vs. Oni Kamigawa vs. Frankie Starlight Alpine: Looks like Frankie’s usual smooth talking didn’t turn out so well for him in the long run.
Rodz: Hey, it’s not his fault Elena’s got her panties in a twist ever since she got married. That said, brutal kick from Oni.
Alpine: It was, and word from the back is Frankie is fired up backstage over the attack and is looking for vengeance.
Rodz: Vengeance is fine and all buddy. Just remember, winning the match is the priority.(We go from the commentary booth to the center of the ring, where Lenne Hardt awaits in the center of the ring awaiting the crowd which is surprisingly half white. Seriously, watch a lucha show from Mexico sometime and prepare to be shocked.)Hardt: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a triple threat match!(Cheers from the crowd as the lights dim. ‘Momma Said Knock You Out’ by Five Finger Death Punch blares out over the speakers, getting a mild reaction from the crowd who don’t know too much about the Exodus veteran Oni Kamigawa. He takes his time walking down to the ring in a full tuxedo under a red spotlight, sneering at the crowd who are only giving him the slightest of boos.)Hardt: Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 286 pounds, OOOOOOONNNNNNIIIII KKKKKAAAAAAAMMMMMMMIIIGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWAAAAAA!!!!Alpine: Oni has looked impressive since coming to PW, but for some reason has a difficult time connecting with the crowd.
Rodz: Well yeah he’s a japanese Yakuza bot. He may have the technology to kill someone, but don’t expect him to show a single ounce of charisma. The Yakuza used up all his skill points on strong style.(Kamigawa stops at ringside, slowly scanning over the crowd before taking the ringsteps. He walks into the ring and heads to his corner robotically, leaving referee Malik Demitrious to do an uncomfortable yet quick pat down of his suited attire. After Malik clears, Oni stands patiently in his corner and stares at the curtains. The lights go back on, his music silences, and we hear the drastically different tune of ‘Nice Work If You Can Get It’ by Frank Sinatra. Bursting out of the curtains is Frankie Starlight, already ready to go with his suit jacket off and his sleeves rolled up.)Hardt: Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 175 pounds, FRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKKKKKKIIIIIIEEEEEEE SSSSSSSTTTTTAAAARRRRLLLLLIIIIIGGGGHHHTTTT!!!!!(He races down to the ring, slides in rapidly, ducks an incoming big boot from Oni, hits the ropes, and nails Oni with a shotgun dropkick to the chest! A screaming Lenne clears out of the ring as Malik brings a start to this match.)DING DING DING!!Rodz: Looks like Malik doesn’t give a shit about stopping the fight before the bell, or waiting for Elena for that matter. Good man.
Alpine: Frankie is not willing to wait for the bell, and already is scouting Oni on the outside!(The shot sends him stumbling to the ropes and tumbling over the top rope! Frankie hunches down, mouthing a string of obscenities as he waits for Oni to stand. As soon as he does Frankie runs towards the ropes and flies over the top with a no hands senton dive!! The two high impact moves gets the crowd behind the Frankie, leading to “FRANKIE!!” chants from the audience. He doesn’t take much time to bask in their adoration as he races to the nearest guardrail, springs off, and nails a moonsault on Oni Kamigawa! Just then his theme ends, and is replaced with ‘Painkiller’ by Judas Priest. Frankie stands up and looks to the curtains, waiting for Elena to make her appearance. She pushes through the curtains with a smile, watching as Frankie waves her on for a fight at the bottom of the ramp. Since Elena is taking her time coming down the ramp, Frankie brings the fight to her and starts walking towards her. However before he can the quickly recovered Oni grabs him by the back of his dress shirt, holding him back. Frankie swings around to deck Oni, but he ducks just in time, low blows Frankie to the “OOHHH!!”s of the crowd, then scoops him up from the low blow into a fireman’s carry! With Frankie struggling on his shoulders, Oni quickly puts a stop to that with a big samoan drop on the steel ramp! Frankie cringes in pain as the crowd “OHHH!!!”s, leaving Elena applauding Oni’s choice of moves as her theme ends.)Rodz: See, this is exactly the type of strategy you want to use in a triple threat match. Do as little as possible and have the other idiots work for you.
Alpine: Elena’s protective attitude is helping her greatly already, which is good because she needs to protect that formerly injured leg as much as possible.(Elena stops and watches on the ramp, arms folded with a sinister grin as Oni pulls up the hurt Frankie and throws him into the ring. He looks over to her, to which she says “well he’s in the ring! What are you waiting for?” Which leads Oni to roll into the ring to punish Frankie more. Frankie tries to stand, but a giant wingtip to the back shoves him right back down. Oni then lifts up Frankie by the back of his pants one handed, and scoops him up on his shoulders with ease. Meanwhile Elena snatches a popcorn from some fat neckbearded fan at ringside and starts munching away, enjoying the action. Oni then races to one corner, crushing Frankie into it. He then turns around and aims for the other corner, only for the resilient Frankie to slither out the back, wait for Oni to turn around, then crack him pinpoint in the temple with a no hands enziguri! The crowd cheers as both men drop to their knees. As the two recover, Malik finally grows a set of balls and orders Elena to enter the ring or risk count out. She rolls her eyes and walks up the ring steps, then scales up to the top turnbuckle and has a seat. Still munching on popcorn with a mischievous grin as Malik shakes his head.)
Alpine: Elena seems to be really enjoying herself here as these two men are beating the crap out of each other. I wish Malik would order her to get rid of that damn popcorn and wrestle.
Rodz: I applaud Malik for being a big pussy, because he’s allowing Elena to employ a brilliant strategy. A couple minutes in and these two are breathing heavy while she hasn’t even broken a sweat. Brilliant.(Oni is the first to get to his feet, and he swings at the kneeling Frankie. Frankie quickly rolls through, nips up to his feet, then swings back with a pele’ kick just as Oni charges in for a lariat! He runs into the shot full force, knocking him to the mat to the “OOOOHHH!!!”s of the crowd. Elena nods with an impressed look on her face as Frankie stands and doesn’t hesitate to keep the violence going. He leaps up and stomps Oni in the back of his head as he’s on all fours, getting the crowd “OHHH!!!”ing!! Oni rolls over onto his back, but it’s to his disadvantage as Frankie springs off the middle rope and comes down with another hard double stomp to the chest!!! Elena is cheering on Frankie with the crowd as he swings through the ropes and prepares himself on the apron. With a big spring off the top he comes down with a harsh double stomp, this one to the face of Oni!! “OLE’!!!” chants erupt through the crowd as Frankie stumbles to the nearest ropes, dizzy from double stomping Oni thrice. Elena claps for Frankie, then flips him off when he looks her way. He points at her and says “THAT’S IT!!!”)Alpine: Uh oh. Oni is down and out and Frankie is looking to finally get his hands on Elena!!
Rodz: About time. Then again knowing the Japanese Terminator, he’s only in temporary power down mode.(Frankie goes to stomp his way towards Elena, but the still somewhat conscious Oni snatches on to the bottom of Frankie’s dress pants. Frankie goes to pull away but feels the strong tug of Oni who will not let go. Out come the obscenities as Frankie turns around and starts stomping Oni with his free foot, doing all he can to loosen the grip. After about ten stomps Oni finally loosens up, allowing the irate Frankie to leap in the air and double stomp him on his face! This time he cracks his sunglasses and breaks his nose, leaving a trail of blood seeping out of Oni’s face. Since he’s in kill mode, Frankie ascends to the nearest turnbuckle, steadies himself, then nails a flashbulb inducing Starlight Express on the chest of Oni!! Loud “FRANKIE!!!” chants as he collapses on Oni for the win!!)
1….
2….
(As soon as the ref counts Elena tosses the popcorn aside and dives off the top rope with a missile dropkick, nailing Frankie in his bad shoulder!! He screams out in pain and rolls off of Oni, automatically clutching that very bad shoulder. Nonetheless, he’s grit tooth determined and pushes to his feet to fight Elena. She quickly takes the fight out of him with a God Save The Queen to the chest, knocking him up and over the top rope! With all opposition cleared, Elena slinks down to the mat with a grin and pins Oni one handed!!)
1….
2…..
3!!!!WINNER: Elena DeDraca via PINFALL @ 7 minutes, 43 seconds.Alpine: Talk about a game winning strategy! In just two moves Elena defeated two very tough opponents and makes one hell of a comeback!!
Rodz: All up and coming wrestlers, this is how you come back from an injury. Pay attention.
Alpine: I don’t condone her actions, but I do question how bad that injury is since we barely got to see her compete tonight.
Rodz: She’s fine. Didn’t buckle her knee once on those dropkicks. Looks like Elena is gonna be one hell of a fresh fight for whomever she faces next.
(Running down to ringside is Frankie Morrison, who slides into the ring just in time. ‘Painkiller’ by Judas Priest plays as Frankie snatches Elena’s hand from Malik and raises it himself. A camera shot is shown of Finn Whelan in the back, watching on a monitor himself at the match that featured his friend Elena DeDraca as he cheered her on for winning the match. Caught up in the moment, he gets taken out from behind by Mason Daniels, who shoves the back of Finn’s head into the monitor, putting an end to it. Finn went to the ground as Mason stood over him, pointing down at him.)Mason Daniels: You shouldn’t have been paying attention to your little girlfriend...you should've been paying attention to ME!(Mason quickly ushers in someone who wound up being a referee, Malik Demitrious, who goes to the ground as Daniels went to cover Finn for the pinfall for what was a crazy start to an impromptu “No Disqualification” match...)Alpine: Welp, cut the introduction. We getting it in right now!!Rodz: Mason going full on rage mode. This will be quick because there’s no way Finn’s kicking out from that shot!No Disqualification Finn Whelan vs. Mason Daniels 1….
2….
(A surprising kickout from Finn! Mason looks down wide eyed at Finn, wondering how he was able to take a monitor shot to the head and kick out.)
Mason Daniels: CRYSTAL!!! BATTTTTTTTT!!!!(Crystal comes on camera backstage, handing her man his signature barbed wire wrapped bat with a smile. He snatches the bat with a maniacal grin and wags it, waiting for Finn to stand. Slowly Finn pushes to his feet with staff doing their best to clear fighting space for the the combatants. As soon as he near standing Mason runs in with an overhead bat swing, nearly taking off Finn’s head! Luckily he ducks just in time and back body drops Mason onto the concrete! From there he steps on the bat holding hand, trying his best to loosen Mason’s firm grip. Before he can break Mason’s fingers/loosen his iron grip Crystal rushes into Finn with a forearm to the face! Boos can be heard from the arena crowd as Crystal pelts away at Finn with uncoordinated shots. It’s not enough to knock down Finn, but enough for him to cover up and divert focus away from Mason. Finally Finn is able to get a hold of the spastically moving Crystal, but Mason is up to his feet still holding that bat. He’s gritting his teeth in pain, but fighting through it just so he can smack Finn. As Finn is restraining Crystal he sees Mason coming. Just as Mason gets close enough to swing, Finn pushes Crystal at Mason. Mason halts the bat inches away from Crystal, mere seconds away from cutting open her pretty face! Finn takes advantage of the distraction and dropkicks Crystal into the barbed bat holding Mason, forcing her into the spiny stick! The crowd cheers as Mason rips the bat off the crying Crystal, talking to her gently and tell her to sit this one out. She sits against the wall, crying and bleeding from her chest as the sympathetic face of Mason turns into one of pure hatred as he turns to Finn.)Rodz: Oh shit Finn. Ya done fucked up now.
Alpine: Finn did what he had to do. This may be no DQ, doesn’t mean he signed up for a handicap match.
Rodz: Hey I’m not dogging the guy. More chicks need to get hit with barbed wire bats. Equality right?(Mason screams like a maniac and comes at Finn swinging. Finn does his best to duck and dodge the shots, Mason getting closer and closer with those violent bat swings. Mason then swings with a wild spinning batfist, catching Finn off guard and gashing him across the chest. Seeing Finn’s blood brings back Mason’s maniacal smile as he proceeds to swing with intensity. Finn is in a state of desperation with no weapons in sight, so he grabs a random staffer who feels he’s a safe distance away from the fight. Nope. Finn grabs him, human shields him to another chest bat attack, and to his success Mason gets his bat stuck on the tie of the distributor! This is just the opportunity Finn needs, allowing him to plant a big dropkick to Mason’s head, knocking him back and knocking his grip off the bat! Fans in the arena cheer as Finn walks up to the poor staff, says sorry, and yanks the barbed wire bat off of his chest. He then looks at the bat with a smile, then looks to Mason as he wide eye back scoots across the concrete.)Alpine: Finn now has possession of the famed barbed wire bat! If Mason’s not too careful he might find himself eating that bat!
Rodz: Well you know what they say, live by the bat, die by the bat.(Finn begs for Mason to get to his feet with one hand as he holds the bat with the other. Mason begs for mercy as he sits next to his bleeding Crystal, asking Finn to show pity on them. Finn takes his time coming up to them, planning his kill. It’s a little too long though as Mason shoots to his feet, screams at Finn, then races at him with lariat. However he ducks at the last moment for his famed spear, not expecting Finn to check him with a mid section shot! The bat’s tip drives right into Mason’s forehead, busting him open to the cheers of the crowd. With Mason’s skull dripping blood onto the concrete, Finn wastes no time and hooks Mason for the Revelation 6:4! Crystal sees this and pushes up from the concrete, running at Finn with a screaming punch. However he’s able to catch her right in time, kicking her in the gut and pulling her in for a headlock as well! With both Crystal and Mason locked, Finn takes a deep breath, then lifts up with both, landing a double low lift Revelation 6:4!!! Loud “FINN!!!” chants break out in the crowd as he covers Mason.)

3!!!!WINNER: Finn Whelan @ 5 minutes, 19 seconds.Alpine: Finn Whelan is able to not only defeat Mason, but seemingly Crystal as well in this impromptu No DQ match! Impressive feat of strength with that double Revelation!
Rodz: I don’t know where that skinny motherfucker keeps his muscle, but he is without question the strongest string bean I’ve ever seen.
Alpine: Physique aside, he’s an incredible wrestler and he just overcame the odds tonight.
Rodz: Looks like Mason ain’t about to let him bask in the glory!(Just as Malik goes to raise the weary Finn’s hand, a bloody Mason attacks him from behind with the bat, dropping him to his knees while cringing! He backs up to swing again, but onto the scene bursts Elena DeDraca to cheers of the crowd with a barbed wire bat of her own!Elena swings hard at Mason and manages to knock Mason’s bat out of his hand and he drags Crystal to the parking garage with him, pointing at Elena’s bat as they go.)Mason Daniels: THAT’S MY SHTICK YOU HEIFER!(Elena doesn’t let his words touch her, she just grins and wags the bat at the retreating Daniels and Crystal. The cameras cut to the back as Frisky D is seen finishing up the preparations before her upcoming match.)Frisky D: This? This is big. I know I can do this. I believe in me, and my potential… but more than that, I know I can make that potential a reality. No matter what happens.(She straightens up after tying her boots, and heads to the door.)Frisky D: I won’t waste a single minute of my time here. This is the big time and I can’t wait to face off with a great wrestler and fighter like Anastasia.(She leaves as the cameras cut to commercial break.)

“The Tyrant of Pandemonium is coming to Phoenix Wrestling and it won’t be for the weak of heart …”
Ryan Graves debuts at Redemption! (The cameras cut to the ringside area where Frisky D has just finished entering the ring, she shadowboxes one of the turnbuckles as she hypes herself for the upcoming match! "Time (Yelhigh! Remix)" by Satellite Empire plays and out comes the Clockwork Songbird herself, Anastasia Starling! She makes her way to the ring, and once inside Ana holds out her hand for a microphone and the referee respectfully waits to take the title from her. She holds it up and gives Frisky a very sweet and sincere look.)Anastasia Starling: I just wanna… I-I just wanna say something before we start, oakies?(She takes a breath and makes eye contact with Frisky who watches her curiously.)Anastasia Starling: I just wanna say, that I think you’re lovely, Frisky. I do, I really honestly do. You’ve been really polite and sweet and the crowd really do seem to be warming to you. And that is a good thing, ‘cause this crowd really knows their stuff.(The fans give an appreciative spattering of applause and a few cheers and whistles at her words.)Anastasia Starling: And you’re really excited for this match, very much like everyone here is. I don’t blame you, I’m pretty pumped up for this one as well. I always am when it comes to a title match, and I know this is your first so there must be a million and one things going through your mind right now. But I want you to keep focus, as there are only two people in the world right now, and that is you and me. This match is just you and me and you need to remember that…(Anastasia slowly raises her Rising Phoenix Championship belt until it’s high over her head, and she watches how Frisky tips her head back to stare at it.)Anastasia Starling: … because when you look back on this, and you remember how I put you down within the time limit, I don’t want you to make excuses about you not being focused. I don’t want you to make excuses that your mind was wandering off elsewhere. I want you to realise that you were put down by a champion who will simply not let go. Because this is MY title. I’ve fought long and hard for it and no one is taking it away from me. It’s mine. Mine, mine, MINE!(Her voice raises in intensity and volume as she lowers the belt and cradles it to her chest a moment before she smiles again, her tone going more normal volume.)Anastasia Starling: You’re a lovely little dingo. But as soon as that bell rings, you are my worst enemy and you are going to be a very dead dingo. I am the Rising Phoenix… and if you think you are taking my title, you’re going to get burned.(Anastasia hands the title over to the referee then and she throws up her Too Tweet sign with both hands as the fans respond to this by returning it and cheering.)Anastasia Starling: Too Tweet!
PW Rising Phoenix Championship MatchFrisky D vs. Anastasia Starling ©(The pair exchange handshakes after the bell rings and Frisky can't help but take a fast glance at Ana's right knee, the lights set up for the matches are reflected intensely off of the sparkling decorated wonder that is keeping Starling's knee stable. Frisky is squinting from the brightness but takes off rapidly, coming up with an open hand chop before she springboards off the near ropes and catches the Rising Phoenix Champion with a triangle springboard armdrag! Both women roll to their feet quickly, even though Ana is a hair slower and a hint more cautious as she tests her leg for a moment. She dodges Frisky's incoming attack with a fast wide-stanced duck under the rush, but this puts her into position for a fast tornado DDT! She quickly covers:
1….
2….
Kickout!
but Ana easily kicks out at two, and turns the tide a bit with her amazing flexitbility as Frisky rolls up to her feet Anastasia goes to her hands for a handstand and catches her with a Spinning Bird Kick, the handstand capoeira spin kick striking full on the game Frisky, who reels back into the ropes and rebounds into a second Spinning Bird Kick! Ana comes down out of the stand and drops across Frisky for her own pin attempt:
1….
2….
Shoulder up!
Frisky rolls her shoulder up a just two and Ana slides back before coming to her feet, once more taking care with her knee.)Alpine: A little nice back and forth here between champion and challenger but they're both going to have to do a lot more to put the other away here tonight.Rodz: Frisky D is still so fresh and green, but she's not letting that stop her from strutting her stuff so to speak. Some fairly crisp moves, and Ana with a bum leg - I don't care what the doctors say, you get a bad wheel and everything is up in the air no matter how good you are.(Frisky now up and moving easily despite the two kicks to the face, though she is seen checking her jaw as Ana circles her counter-clockwise for a few tics. Frisky reaches out and catches Ana's wrists just as she lunges, using the momentum Frisky spins with The Clockwork Songbird and releases her after a full 360 spin into the far ropes for a hard Irish whip! A little less in control on the rebound than Ana usually is almost costs her as Frisky is ready for a backbody drop, Starling manages the leapfrog over out of instinct but winces as she comes down, and she does a forward roll to take the edge off of the impact as best she can. Frisky catches her as she pops up at the ropes with a fast headscissors takedown, but Starling rolls through and comes up only to be taken down with a wheelbarrow facebuster! Frisky floats her over and hooks the far leg:
1….
2….
Kickout!
Anastasia kicks out and shoves her way out from under Frisky, but a quick check of her brace shows all is in order. The Champion rallies after this and catches Frisky with a backflip headscissors but Frisky slides out under the bottom rope to the floor before Starling can set up a pinning predicament.)Alpine: Oh don't do what I think you're thinking about doing Ana... let her get back into the ring, it's not worth the risk!Rodz: I've got to agree with you here Alps, while I love the explosive style of Anastasia Starling maybe a bit too much, she's got to keep in mind that her kneeeeeeeOOOHHHSHIIIIIT! Triple T DDT!(As Rodz loses his mind Ana takes the risk to excite the fans by diving through the turnbuckles onto a rising Frisky D, spinning her down to the mat-covered concrete floor with a huge tornado DDT of her own! The fans cheer and stomp as Ana gets shakily to her feet and takes a deep breath, a wince on her face as she moves to lift up the docile Frisky D. She manages to get her up onto the apron and roll her under the rope to break up the referee's count, but it takes her a few moments to gather herself before she takes another deep breath and slides back in herself. This costs the Clockwork Songbird as it gives Frisky a chance to recover and she takes full advantage of this by stomping at Ana quickly as she comes under the bottom rope! She gets the champion up on her feet and slings her into the near corner before she follows up with a running corner back elbow, then a snapmare and finally to finish off the flurry of motion a rolling necksnap! Starling is down and Frisky wavers as she moves but gets the cover:
1….
2….
Kickout!
Frisky looks up with a frantic expression but the referee shakes his head and holds up two fingers. Frisky doesn't argue, she releases and then sits the pliant Starling up before she kips up herself and shoots the ropes, looking for a knee between the shoulderblades but as she comes back for the knee at the last second Ana drops to her side and tangles Frisky up for a drop toe hold that causes Frisky to crash into the ropes awkwardly and she slides down to the mat in a heap. Ana rolls to the ropes and uses them to get to her own feet, then she drags Frisky away from the ropes before she closes her eyes and digs deep for a standing moonsault!)Alpine: I think her knee is bothering her more than she thought it would at this point in the match Rodz.Rodz: That may be so, but she's got the heart of a champion and she keeps fighting through the pain. That's kind of hot, but I know she's married and I'm afraid her wife wouldn't like that so we'll pretend I never said it.(The moonsault connects and Frisky seems out of it but before Ana can cover she sits up and checks the straps on her brace. The referee asks her if she's okay and she gets an exceptionally fierce look on her pretty face as she assures him that she's had far, far worse than this to deal with! He holds up his hands in a peacemaking sort of motion as she finishes with her check and comes to her feet, but again the delay was enough to let Frisky D recover! She hits a series of hard clubbing blows that seem to sap the energy right out of Ana, she sags at the ropes but rallies as Frisky closes with her! A one-handed swinging neckbreaker takes them both back down to the mat where Starling works to apply The Merovingian Crucifix, the crucifix choke she adapted from Lady Magdalena herself! Frisky works hard to try and keep her from locking it in, but finally she does and the fans go wild as Frisky continues to struggle as Ana tries to make her tap! The referee drops and asks Frisky if she wants to tap and she shakes her head no, wildly kicking and thrashing her lower body as he asks her again! Finally with a scream of effort she gets her foot on the bottom rope and the referee tells Ana she must release the hold!)Alpine: She almost had her! But Frisky dug deep and got her foot on the rope!Rodz: But at what cost? That had to have taken a lot out of her and she's a scrapper but Ana's on a different level as she's showing us here tonight!(Ana lets Frisky go, and Frisky rolls quickly away from her before she comes to her feet. Frisky staggers as Ana comes slower to her feet, cautious with her right knee, but Frisky runs at her and sweeps the leg! Starling goes crashing to the mat with a cry of anger, but before she can sit up to attack Frisky D shoots over her and comes back with a slingshot somersault legdrop - or rather, she tries to but Ana rolls out of the way at the last moment! Frisky crashes and burns as Starling gets to her feet and while there's a little limp and stagger for her she makes it to the ropes and pulls herself up onto the top turnbuckle facing the fans who hold their breath and she totters, almost slipping but then at the last moment she comes off with the Songbird's Flight, her Phoenix Splash landing flush on Frisky D! She quickly covers and hooks the leg!)

Alpine: What a match! Great battle between both but in the end, the Champ remains Champion!Rodz: Frisky D might’ve put on a good showing here tonight but Anastasia Starling retains her title! Hellllll no! Great effort but no!WINNER: (and still champion) Anastasia Starling via PINFALL @ 8 minutes, 52 seconds.Alpine: What a match! Great battle between both but in the end, the Champ remains Champion!Rodz: Frisky D might’ve put on a good showing here tonight but Anastasia Starling retains her title! Hellllll no! Great effort but no!(Anastasia rolls a bit as she makes her way towards the ropes after securing the pinfall over Frisky D. The bell ringing, signaling the end. She uses the ropes to make her way back to her feet as Frisky D is a bit distraught, a bit upset with not getting the match to go her way despite giving the Champion a hell of a battle. However Ana stood tall as the referee went over to check on both individuals. Frisky D stood up, looking over at Ana who had the strap on her shoulder. Frisky’s eyes looking at the title she tried to take away but didn’t go her way. In what was a great move, she went over and raised Ana’s arm in giving her respect and showing great sportsmanship. Things transitioned from ringside to the back. The sighting of all three members of “The Collective” are backstage, somewhat of a huddle but not fully. They were about to partake on an insane task of a triple threat TLC Duos Championship match that featured Faith and Chris Andrew, and the Champions, “Hell is Waiting”.)Tony Tira: We are going to have to go out there and wreak havoc. We got this if we stick to our keys we discussed earlier. Communication. Communication is gonna be heavy.Geno Forliti: Understood!(Frankie slid in, coming in between the two as he pointed to them both, showcasing that troubling smirk on his face.)Frankie Starlight: Don’t worry about anything, you two! I got your backs tonight. Remember, I ain’t banned from ringside!(Forliti and Tira’s face glowed upon hearing that as things faded to a commercial for “Roque’s Total Body Fitness”. Showcasing more of the brand’s equipment. Many clips are shown of folks feeling the burn, as some are seen flexing their ‘Roque-hard’ muscles after trying out the equipment. Roque then comes into the picture, his body glistening from the sweat)Roque: You better come while the iron is still hot! The proof is in the pudding that the Richard Total Body Fitness turns ‘Geeks into Freaks’, turn ‘Fatties into Baddies’. Don’t sit there on the couch and ignore the number that scrolls past your screen. CALL RIGHT NOW!!!(The image of his total set is shown along with the number to call ‘1-800-GET-RTBF’ in large bold red numbers.)(The cameras fade back in to find Kiko Hirayama backstage overseeing a clipboard, microphone hung loosely in her grip. The roar of the crowd a dull background to the festering activity backstage. As Kiko turns over a page, a vaguely familiar face for some of Phoenix Wrestling’s older fans passes her by. Her eyes light up and the clipboard is tossed to one side.)Kiko Hirayama: Mr Garcia! Mr Garcia!(The suited former Iron King contender turned to her with a contemptuous glare that immediately dampened her enthusiasm.)Kiko Hirayama: Could we have a quick word on your return to Phoenix Wrestling, and the man you…(Brandon stepped in, looming over her, he snatched the microphone and averted his attention to the camera.)Brandon Garcia: Man? (Garcia looked aghast.)Brandon Garcia: I mean he walks and talks like one, but I can’t say for sure what the hell is behind that mask. I’ve seen some crazy people in the ring in my time, hell even when I occasionally threw down with the Phoenix crew. Anyone remember that albino dude? (Kiko wasn’t sure if the question was aimed at her or not, so she kept quiet, hoping to get her mic back.)Brandon Garcia: But yeah, this guy is something else. And whatever is behind that mask, when it gets in the ring, this ol’ wrassling show gets very, very, real. Pure, unfiltered, uncertified, most likely classified, [REDACTED] violence. And I know how much you guys love that! (Garcia grins.)Brandon Garcia: Stay tuned.(He slaps the mic back into Kiko’s palm and saunters off screen.) |

(Faith and Chris Andrew are backstage sparring and warming up. Andrew is working the pads and taking a bit of a beating from Faith who is really laying into him and not pulling her strikes for the most part.)Chris Andrew: Faith, come on! We’ve been doing this for an hour, can we switch?(Faith grins just a little.)Faith: No, you got pinned in the last match so now you’re my sparring dummy. But if you get up one of those ladders and get the titles for our team? I’ll be YOUR sparring dummy for the next show!(Chris heaves a huge sigh but looks determined.)Chris Andrew: Ah dammit.(He continues to absorb the shots on the pads as the cameras cut elsewhere, finding Aurora and Masaru as Aurora tapes up her wrists and hands, flexing them after she’s finished to make sure she still has maximum flexibility. She watches as Masaru feeds Olly bits of meat, the owl contentedly making a low sound with each little bite.)Aurora: I still can’t believe they let us have this match.(Her tone sounds dreamy, for a few seconds as she sighs and limbers up a little.)Masaru Inoue: It is surely interesting, Lady Rori. Usually they place blocks, hurdles in the way of our pleasures. But this? It’s magical. It’s… glorious! I can’t wait. They want to bleed, don’t they Olly?(He nearly coos at the owl as Aurora gently smiles and smooths a few locks of Masaru’s hair, stiffened into spikes with a reddish residue that flakes off a bit on the tape on her hand.)Aurora: They do, my dearie. Oh they do, even if they deny it with all their might. So let’s indulge them even as we indulge ourselves.(She takes up the Duos titles and gently places Masaru’s over his right shoulder, and hers over her left and leads him out of the locker, Olly flying out ahead of them.)PW Duos Championship Match
TLC MatchHell is Waiting © vs. The Collective vs. Faith and Chris Andrew- NICK(this will be added later) (Paramedics employed by Phoenix Wrestling LLC - definitely not locals, rush to ringside to aide the broken and battered competitors. Rori and Masaru stand in the middle of the ring keeping each other upright as the fans in attendance are whistling Twisted Nerve as a show of respect for the bloody spectacle that they had just witnessed. The pair have their belts, Rori cradles hers to her chest as Masaru struggles but finally gets his lifted into the air with a roar of approval from the crowd. On the big screen an image appears, followed by a small sentence.) Hear the Drums
As we Begin
Solve the Puzzle
Find your Redemption
She does not get far.)Seth Black: Good luck tonight.(Veronica freezes, then wheels around slowly with an acidic scowl to find Seth Black lounging into view. Hard to say if he was waiting for her, following her, or just has super amazing dramatic timing.)Veronica Valiant: I assume that's some kind of joke?Seth Black: No, actually, I...(He trails off, having just noticed the eyepatch. Veronica just arches her one visible brow.)Seth Black: What's wrong with your face?Veronica Valiant: This is how it looks when it sees you.Seth Black: Funny. Better get that checked out, we have enough issues with - Veronica Valiant: (cutting him off) Already have, by private staff I trust. I'm certainly not putting my immediate career prospects in the hands of your 'people'.Seth Black: Here we go again. Why the hell would I screw up the main event of my own company's show on the night it's happening?Veronica Valiant: I don't pretend to understand a single thing you do, Seth. What I do understand is my place on this show wasn't your choice, and you're stuck dealing with the consequences. So for a change, my own personal advancement and my desire to see you eat some humble pie are in direct alignment. And when I'm done showing Cassius how badly he screwed up by giving me a second chance, you had better start puckering up because I'm coming back to rub your face in it.(Veronica courteously blows a kiss into one hand, before turning around to leave - smacking the same hand against her butt as she does so. Seth opens his mouth to call after her, but just winds up hissing through gritted teeth instead, and stalks off in the opposite direction, kicking a heavy equipment case in frustration as the cameras then cut to Cassius Reed, who is standing by with a far more prepared Kiko tonight, fully recovered from her earlier strange encounter with Mr. Garcia. Her delicate form is wearing a very festive looking traditional Mexican dress in honor of the country and location of the show and she gives Cassius a bright smile despite the hint of blush on her cheeks.)Kiko Hirayama: Greetings Phoenix Wrestling fans! I’m here with 2017 Iron King Winner and Phoenix Rebirth Champion Cassius Reed, who has been gracious enough to agree to answering a couple of questions for us! Cassius, can you…(Cassius holds up a hand.)Cassius Reed: That’s King Cassius, come on girl. Cassius knows you nervous, but get it together.(Kiko blushes brilliantly but nods, and gathers herself together like the pro she is, shook or not.)Kiko Hirayama: Apologies King Cassius! Now to the question, King Cassius, why did you choose Veronica Valiant for this defense? (Cassius seemed to give it some thought but a sly gleam in his eyes told another tale.)Cassius Reed: Like Cassius said earlier this week, the reason Cassius decreed this match will happen is to point out to Seth Black, the Rodricks, and anybody damn else got something to say, that there’s a new hierarchy in Phoenix. We’re getting feudal up in this sucka, and you’re all Cassius’ people now. This is the Iron Kingdom, I'm the King, King Cassius and that's what the funks up.(He smiles that million megawatt smile and Kiko fans herself before she holds up the microphone again.)Kiko Hirayama: Can you tell us then what the future holds for Phoenix Wrestling and King Cassius?(He gives her a side-eye and then roars with laughter, wiping away a fake tear.)Cassius Reed: Girl, you can just watch and see like the rest of the suckas, but since you so polite? Cassius will give you a hint. Y’all ain’t prepared for the beatdowns that will come down from the King, and Cassius will beat down any sucka that think he can challenge the Iron Kingdom of Cassius Reed. That’s what’s in the future. Now excuse Cassius, he got a Cougar to put out her misery!(Cassius Reed struts off and Kiko looks at the camera.)Kiko Hirayama: Cassius Reed, confident in his abilities and chances here tonight!
PW Rebirth Championship MatchCassius Reed © vs. Veronica ValiantAlpine: That is one seriously sour look on Veronica Valiant’s face Rodz. I’m thinking she’s objecting to Reed’s choice of theme music. Or maybe his cologne.Rodz: You’re diving into the delusions early in this match I see. Look, the thing is, she’s a vile and covetous bitch, and usually I’m really into that, but she’s facing our Phoenix Wrestling Iron King so I know where my loyalties lie, Alpine.(After what sounds like a clear enough ‘Get on with this sucka’ the referee reverently takes the Phoenix Wrestling Rebirth Championship from Cassius who reluctantly parts with his belt, his eyes watching as the referee walks to all four sides and holds the belt up for the fans to see what this match is all about. Veronica’s own gaze is glued to the shining title and Cassius jaws at her, telling her to get a good look while she gets a chance! The referee hands the belt down to the timekeeper and calls for the bell, stepping out of the way. Cassius struts around Veronica, indicating his physique and then her own with a dismissive expression, and he then holds his hands up for a classic test of strength! The fans jeer at this, believing there is no way that Veronica will go for it, but then she puts a hand on her hip, jaws at Cassius complete with a Z-snap before she brings up her hands with the fingers spread as if she will accept much to even Cassius’ surprise! But of course instead of lacing her fingers with his, Veronica hauls back and slaps him as hard as she can! The CRACK echoes around the ringside area as the fans in the front row gasp, and Cassius takes a hand to feel his jaw!
Valiant quickly grabs Reed’s wrist while he’s still a little stunned after the slap, setting him up for Profit and Loss, the reverse-spinning sweep kick connects but as she goes for the falling splits axe kick Cassius rolls out of the way and her calf strikes the mat instead of landing across his throat! She makes an angry face, rolling up and out of the splits to her feet, and shakes out her leg a little as Cassius makes a showy kip up, to the delight of the fans in attendance!)Alpine: What a match kickoff! That was a hell of a slap too, I bet she knocked the taste out of his mouth!Rodz: I bet you though he’s got some receipts for that slap, just you watch.(Cassius zips in with a quickness, turns Veronica towards the fans, grasps her wrist and turns it to put her arm in a hammerlock, then he turns her in to grab the second in another lock and from there he transitions it into a wicked hammerlock suplex that bounces the surprised “Mastermind” off the mat super hard. Veronica bows up on the mat before she slumps to the side as Cassius jumps to his feet, uses the sole of his boot to roll her to her back and comes down with a legdrop onto Valiant's belly, waits for her to roll to her hands and knees, and then pulls her up into position for a snapmare driver, but Veronica counters this as Reed brings his forward leg up for momentum, slips free and launches herself at the ropes to come off with a spinning heel kick as Cassius turns to pursue her. The kick rocks Reed and she rolls to sweep the leg, bringing him off his feet! Once down Veronica scrambles as fast as she can to lock in the Code Veronica, the Dragon sleeper difficult to lock in - not due to a great difference in height, but simply because Cassius was still so fresh. She finally does, and the referee crouches to check on Reed, who continues to fight hard. He works to shake her loose as she tries to roll him over so she can sit on his back and add more torque, he fights successfully to keep this from happening and she screams at him to just tap already! The fans jeer as he flails for a second then gets his legs under him firmly and uses them to pull himself to the ropes, Valiant unable to stop him! She is told to break the sleeper but hangs on until nearly five, releasing Cassius and stepping back only to drive a knee as hard as she can into his kidney area! The referee gets on her about it and forces her back as the Champion hangs onto the top rope with one hand on the abused kidney area!)Alpine: That’s going to sap a lot of energy from our energetic Rebirth Champion, there’s no doubt about that.Rodz: Or seriously piss him off and I’m betting on that one. Oh man that look he just shot Veronica!(As Veronica races to take advantage of Cassius’ predicament after the sleeper he seems to go spaghetti legged at the ropes and she runs the ropes, rebounding off the far rope and coming at full speed towards Reed, launching herself for a dirty kick to the throat, but as she commits Reed rockets up to his feet right at her but stepped to the side, grabbing her hard around the middle and spinning around with her in a tight circle before he shifts his grip and hits her with a huge release German suplex! He rolls right to his feet and does a sort of boxer’s dance in place behind her and as she rises he catches her into a tiger suplex! He bridges for a pin:
1….
2….
Kickout!
Cassius gets up and draws Veronica up for a sharp impact scoop slam, though she is able to roll away before he can get his hands on her again. As Reed moves to close in again, Valiant gets up on her hands and knees and manages a surprise kick to the gut of the Rebirth Champion and afterward moves fast to get up to her feet. She sways, her leg possibly strained from the earlier miss on the axe kick, but the gut kick is enough to double Cassius over for a long instant, and that lets Veronica get off a nice swinging neckbreaker that brings them both down to the mat. She floats over and hooks a leg:
1….
2….
Shoulder up!
Cassius is quick to shove Veronica away from him, and he smoothly rolls to his feet before aiming a hard kick to her ribs as she sits up! He gets her off the mat and sends her across the ring with a hard Irish whip!)
Alpine: OUCH! That’ll cost her, working on the core like that, if you can’t keep your breath, you’re in big trouble!Rodz: And with her particular style, she needs to be able to gather herself no matter what. He may have just laid the foundations for his win, mark my words!(Veronica rebounds off the ropes and 'accidentally' grabs the referee's arm, leaving him spun around and facing the audience! She loudly proclaims how she's SO SORRY and a viperous smile comes to her lips as her leg comes up fast to kick the Iron King right in the crotch... but he catches her foot, an indignant look coming to his features as any man would! He jaws at her and thrusts her foot away, shaking a finger right in her face! As the referee turns back to the pair he's treated with the sight of Veronica winding up to slap Cassius across the face yet again, but he dodges this and comes up under her guard like the boxer he is at heart and blasts her right in her dodgy left eye with a super stiff jab! For a second she seems unaffected other than with shock, her jaw dropping but then her body drops straight to the mat as the fans cheer! Cassius grins and holds up his fist as if to kiss it before he comes down on her with a Funky Knee, Funky Do - the standing moonsault knee drop taking the challenger flush! The fans cheer him again as he gets up and showboats for them, arms wide as he struts around his fallen challenger. He bends to grab Valiant up off the mat and suddenly reels back, as out of the sight of the referee she's struck him with a thumb to the eye! Cassius backs up to the ropes and rubs his palm over the offended eye, leveling a finger at her and promising she's gonna pay!)Alpine: As much as I hate to say this, he should have just pinned her because I'm pretty sure he knocked her ass out there with that first punch for a minute.Rodz: Hey! Don't you question the King, Alps. He was getting to it! That Cougar is wily as hell and you know it!(With both of them presumably having issues seeing, they seem a little more cautious though Cassius’ expression shows his despite clearly. Valiant goes right in on the side he’s having the issues with thanks to her thumb to the eye and tries to kick the hell out of Reed’s ribs, but the Iron King is prepared for this as he steps to the side and yanks her by the wrist and forearm leading perfectly into a crisp Japanese armdrag takedown! When he moves to follow up with a transition into a supine hammerlock however, Valiant pushes up fast and hard with her free arm to keep the hold from being locked in, spinning out of it as Cassius let go of the arm and rolls to his feet, backing up fast before rushing in for a quick kick as Veronica rolls to her feet. She ducks under a short-range clothesline and fires off a snap punch into Reed’s jaw that rocks him back slightly, and she delivers a hard knee upward, but a fast swivel of his hips prevents it from connecting how she wants. He gives her a rare warning then, telling her if she doesn’t ease off he’s going to show her how a low blow really works, a sweep of the camera over the crowd then shows how hilarious Rodz finds this comment before it comes back to the action in the ring.
Veronica rolls her visible eye and hits a fast sharp kick to the shin, Cassius snarls but she comes up for a bicycle kick that takes him off his feet! She tries to stomp him while he’s down but he comes up under her guard and grabs her around the waist, rushing with her lifted up right into the near corner, smashing her into the turnbuckles back first before releasing her, coming back out of the corner just enough to rush back in with a body avalanche. Reed is clearly feeling it now as he comes in with Pussy on the Chainwax, the corner springboard handstand sunset flip leaving Valiant in a heap on the mat. He goes in for a cover, but Valiant catches him with a fast roll up!
1….
2….
KICKOUT!
The fans go nuts as Cassius kicks out, Valiant clears away and crouches, hitting him with a cheap shot to the throat that again the referee can’t see! As he gasps for air she tries for a La Magistral Cradle!
1….
2….
KICKOUT!!!
A collective exhale as Cassius kicks out again, and this time as he comes up he is so heated that he rips her up off the mat and sets her up in the corner, hitting a good five or six super hard jabs to her face and torso! He steps aside as she comes out of the corner and crumples to the mat.)Alpine: Sweet Jesus Christ on the Cross!Rodz: I think that’s all she wrote for Veronica Valiant!(It certainly was, as Cassius positioned Valiant a little more to his liking before he made it up to the top rope, checked the distance and took a breath as he faced out to the fans and came off for his split-legged corkscrew moonsault, the Plan C connecting fully with Valiant as Reed recovers fast to float over and hook the leg for the pin:
1….
2….
3…!!!!
The referee calls for the bell as You Suck by Pour Habit begins to play, the fans cheering as Cassius Reed is up on his knees, soaking it all in!)Alpine: There you have it! A valiant effort by Veronica, no pun intended but The Iron King Remains as the top dog of Phoenix!Rodz: Veronica tried but Cassius was not being stopped! Her efforts, I wanted her to prove Seth Black here tonight that she was more than capable of beating the Champ but it didn’t work out.(Cassius gets up after heavy applauds from the fans. He gets up as the referee hands him his gold and raises his hand all in the same process. Veronicacomes to, realizing what has happened and she hits the mat before she begins to make her way towards the exiting of the ring.)Cassius Reed: Whoa! Hold on there, V! HOLD ON!(Being quickly given a mic, Reed pauses Veronica’s motions as she turns and looks at him. Her head was down, her expression hostile, not really wanting to hear what was about to be said. She clearly wanted to leave. Cassius got her attention though, even if for a moment.)Cassius Reed: Now, before you go stomping your feet back up that ramp into a pity party, Cassius applauds you. You no doubt fought dirty. Looked for every opportunity to get over King Cassius with some mean tactics. Things didn’t go your way but Cassius is not going to ignore your attempt once again. You got Cassius here to work up a good, funky sweat. You fought well!(Pulling down the mic from his lips, Cassius gave her the nod. Veronica stepped back, looking as if she'd rather just spit in his face than look at him before she rolls her eye, yanks off the eyepatch from the other and throws it in his face, then she drops down and rolled out of the ring to a volume of boos. Cassius nods his head as he points towards his title letting her know.)Alpine: What plain disrespect from Valiant there! He gives you respect despite your cheating ways and that's how you act?Rodz: Why should she change her spots now?Alpine: Uhm, because it’s the right thing to do! Have you ever heard of the term, sportsmanship?(Veronica can barely be heard as she screams to him from the ramp, “YOU GOT LUCKY!” as the crowd reigns in with those ‘Boo Birds’. She backpedals up the ramp, stewing. Cassius takes to the nearest corner turnbuckle as he points at himself and the title. They give him the praise as he takes it all in!)Alpine: Amazing showcase from the Champion here tonight! Another classic battle.Rodz: Yes, an amazing duel. No one depicts Veronica as a ‘Main Eventer’ but on both opportunities, she’s hung in there with the Champion. She might have lost both times, but she’s gotta feel good knowing even with her ways, she didn’t falter with ease.Alpine: That is true. Cassius felt the need to give her another chance, overriding the decision of the GM, Seth Black. I’m sure Seth is no doubt happy that Cassius has retained because a world with Veronica holding that title...I don’t even want to know to be honest.(Cassius jumps off from the turnbuckle as he stands in the middle of the ring, he shoots his arms up high with the title and the timing of the fireworks goes off from the top of the ringposts high up as it caps off an amazing night in Guadalajara, Mexico for “Tempest”.)Alpine: We appreciate you joining us here tonight for “Tempest”. What an amazing night with so many amazing finishes as Phoenix Wrestling yet again sets a new standard.Rodz: Can’t disagree with you there, as much as it pains me to, tonight was amazing. The fans were amazing tonight.Alpine: Next time you’ll see us will be on the 16th of May for Redemption 108!Rodz: Oh, I cannot wait!Alpine: Neither can I partner. Well, that’ll do it for us tonight, folks. We’ll see you all next time!(Last shots of Reed are shown before things fade to a close with the PW Logo standing in the middle before that fades to black.)
