Blitzkrieg & Paradigm - Standoff Spectacular!

[Admin]

Dark Match
Six Man Tag Team Match
The Michigan Invasion w/ Lord Cadieux defeated Jackson Monroe and The Only (Blake & Drake Hines) in 6:42 when Kolm Moross pinned Drake after a pump handle faceplant.

Notes: This was considered to be a trial by fire for the Michigan Invasion. It was a rare tryout for outside talent, but the trio of Moross, Abteen Sky, and Ford Lyndon certainly impressed the scouts and the fans.


Onto the show..

(Loud Biohazard Siren takes over the speakers momentarily, leading into the video playing over the wall. ‘Feed The Wolf’ by Breaking Benjamin starts up, going over the Blitzkrieg logo as we head into the lyrics.)

“I Can See The Devil Closing In”

(‘The Raven’ Matt Knox sits in the corner of the ring, glaring past the camera.)

“I Choke The Breath That Dies To Cry For Help”

(Andrej Jankovic deadlifts Edward Cronin, allowing Theodor Pavel to strike him before the German Suplex connects.)

“I Feel The Pull Of Gravity”

(MYOJIN Falls From Heaven onto Ramesses, the beautiful inverted 450 Splash.)

“I Bleed No More, And Rise Again”

(Mitchell Ryan lifts Ramesses onto his shoulders while Inevitable members Kimberly Chase and Alandra point towards him.)

“I’ve Lost It All”

(Johnny Sykes warms up inside of the locker room, getting his game face on for the first ever main event of SWWS against Matt Knox.)

“Carry Me Through This World Of Lies”

(Mimic harbors in the shadows of SWWS, sitting in the rafters.)

“I Feel No More, The Suffering”

(Ramon Vidal flies over the top rope into a long distance suicide dive onto Adrian Drake.)

“Bury Me In This Cold Light”

(Guthrie Graupe delivers a snapping German Suplex to Jose Rivera into the turnbuckles, followed by a charging splash by Nikos Mantzios.)

“Feed The Wolf, And Shed My Skin”

(Quick shots of Reginald Baroni’s Dungeon DDT, Adrian Drake’s The Face, MYOJIN’s Orion, and Matt Knox’s Raze and Ruin are shown as the video comes to an end.)

(The music continues playing through the speakers, a shot of the fans are shown. A lot of love for The Inevitable, Theodor Pavel, Donny Mason, Matthew Knox, and the Hot Fungers in the form of signs and merchandise. Representing the executives tonight are Zane, Colton Saint, and Pazia Mantzios. We immediately get to Dilan Valentine, Lori Swick, and Leo Criss.)

Dilan Valentine: Welcome everyone to the Motor City!!! The TCF Center here is 12,000 strong for a special edition of Blitzkrieg!! Hello everyone, I’m Dilan Valentine alongside Lori Swick and Leo Criss, and damn what a show we have for you tonight.

Leo Criss: Absolutely, Dilan. Our main event tonight is featuring the SWWS World Tag Team Championships on the line as the Hot Fungers defend against the Vilaro Legion. After the last time we saw these four men, it appears that the Legion might actually have the number of the Champions. Can they continue their momentum?

Lori Swick: Even beyond that, we have not one, but two Kazoka Office matches to showcase what they can do inside of the ring. Those boys are still going to get what’s coming to them at Standoff, but damn if it won’t be entertaining.

Dilan Valentine: On top of that, other great matches, including a Superior Six contest featuring Ramesses defending his #1 spot against Donny Mason. However, let’s take it to the ring announcer for tonight’s opening contest.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(‘Blondes Have More Fun’ hit the speakers to a quiet reaction from the audience. Gavin Paine storms through the curtain as the reaction from the fans perk up. Paine makes his way down to the ring, tagging the hands of the audience.)

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, this opening contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, on his way to the ring.. Fighting out of Santa Monica, California.. Weighing in at 184lbs… GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVIN PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINE!!!

(Paine looks to be fired up for the contest, making a few final high fives before jogging up the steps to the apron. He springs over the top rope into the ring, removing his jacket to hand out to the attendant.)

Dilan Valentine: Get a load of this kid! The son of House of Paine founder Bison Paine has made his way onto Blitzkrieg. The crowd is feeding off of his energy.

Lori Swick: He’s made a tremendous amount of progress at the House of Paine, you can say that wrestling is definitely in this guy’s DNA.

(Paine’s music slowly fades out as he tests the ropes. The lights dim down in the arena as the crowd eagerly looks at the ramp.)

“プロレスの初演クルーザー級。ミスターナインスターズ!!!”

(‘Never Alone’ hits the speakers as the strobing red and white lights alternate. Nicholas Gabriel makes his way onto the stage to thunderous heat from the audience. Following him on the way out onto the stage is the RUSH Jr. Heavyweight Champion, ‘Mr. Nine Stars’ Touma Ito. Ito, sporting dark green and black gear underneath his Nine Star - Show Stealer shirt. Nicholas has a huge grin on his face, carrying a covered picture with him as they make their way down to the ring.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent. Fighting out of Osaka, Japan.. Weighing in at 87 kilos… HE IS MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTER NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS…. TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUMA IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Gabriel leads the way for the ‘Man That Raijin Had To Get Pointers From’. Ito walks up the steps to the apron, peering into the ring at Paine. He grips the top rope, running along the apron until he swings his lower body under the top rope. He storms the ropes, returning with a front roll to a knee.)

Dilan Valentine: This is our first look at the Jr. Heavyweight Champion from Pro Wrestling RUSH. Lori, what do we know about this man?

Lori Swick: Touma Ito is regarded as one of the best pound for pound wrestlers in Japan. He’s had classics all over the country, but this is actually his first match in the United States.

Leo Criss: What do they mean by Mr. Nine Stars? Are stars handed out that easily?

Lori Swick: For most people. He also says that in reference to the belief that the world revolves around him, surrounded by the stars for every match he steals the show in.

(Ito removes his shirt, looking at the fans. He charges over the ropes to toss it to them, but gently tosses it to the outside mat. ‘Never Alone’ fades out as Ito nods to Nicholas Gabriel.)

(DING DING DING!!!)

(Gavin Paine and Touma Ito look at each other from across the ring. They approach one another, with Paine putting his hand out to the Jr. Heavyweight Star. Ito quickly slaps the hand, and circles the ring with a confident smile on his face. The focused rookie steps in and quickly locks up with Ito, who gives him enough space to make a mistake early. Paine quickly pulls Ito in by the arm, and delivers a surprising armdrag!! Ito quickly bounces to a knee, with a smile on his face.)

Dilan Valentine: He caught the Champion off guard, that’s for sure. I don’t know if Ito even cares at this point though.

(Ito bounces to his feet, taking a glance over at Nicholas Gabriel and circles the ring once more. He moves in quickly on Paine, looking for the lock up. Instead of the collar and elbow, Ito teases going for a single leg takedown, but quickly applies an inverted waistlock. Paine tries to avoid being lifted into a powerbomb, swinging his elbows quickly, but Ito twists him over to grab the arms for a backslide. Paine’s arms get caught in the mix, allowing Ito to twist him over with ease, hooking the neck of Paine with his legs, and rolls him over to the canvas. He quickly kneels up under the arm of Paine, using the other leg to hook around his far arm. Ito leans down on the shoulders of Paine, causing a bit of a yell from the rookie. Ito glances around at the audience, raising his hands high before going into an Immortal pose while sitting on the shoulders of Gavin Paine.)

Lori Swick: Jeez.. He really has control over everything he does in the ring.

(Nicholas Gabriel laughs at the pain that Gavin is in, allowing Ito to glance over with a grin on his face.. He quickly snaps back to the canvas, forcing the seated Paine to hit the canvas face first!!!! Ito stands himself up, and hooks the arm of Paine..And uses it to pull himself back into a hard roundhouse kick to the upper back of the rookie. He seamlessly steps over Paine, hooking a leg around his arm. Ito grabs onto his own foot, twisting suddenly to slam Paine to the canvas once again while holding in a modified Fujiwara Armbar.)

Nicholas Gabriel (off-mic): That’s beautiful!!

(With a relaxed look on his face, Ito bends his hooked foot over his own knee to stand himself up. This is applying more pressure on the arm of Paine, who is trying desperately to get out of the hold. Ito glances down at Paine, quickly undoing his own armbar. Retaining the arm of Paine, he tries stepping over..BUT GAVIN PAINE CATCHES HIM WITH A SCHOOL BOY!!!)

Referee: ONE!!! TWO!!! THR-!!!

(Ito uses his great cardio to spring off of the mat from the School Boy. Paine quickly gets to his feet, but Ito is already up. A HARD FOREARM TO THE HEAD OF TOUMA ITO!!! A SECOND ONE CONNECTS!!!)

Dilan Valentine: Come on, kid!!!

(Ito has a smile on his face from the forearms, watching Paine swing wildly. He jukes his upper body to the side to avoid one, the other side to avoid another. Paine swings again, this time with Ito arching himself back to avoid it.)

Nicholas Gabriel (off-mic): Enough playing around!!

(Ito calmly avoids another forearm, kicking the inside of Paine’s lower thigh. Without even lowering his leg, he swings it back to kick the other lower thigh of the rookie. He swings a knee up, catching him across the chest, and SUDDENLY DELIVERS A DISCUS OPEN HANDED UPPERCUT TO THE JAW OF THE SON OF BISON PAINE!!! GAVIN STUMBLES BACK, TRYING HIS BEST NOT TO FALL.)

Lori Swick: What a combination!!

(Touma Ito gives a light leg kick to Paine before delivering a vicious spinning back kick to the ribcage of Gavin Paine. He quickly grabs the head, looking for a snapmare, but charges into the ropes. He swings his lower body over the second rope, slamming the head of Gavin Paine into the turnbuckle!! Ito casually swings his leg around on the apron, pretending to fall, and springboards over the top rope onto the middle turnbuckle while Paine stumbles backwards. ITO LEAPS INTO A CORKSCREW, SWINGING HIS LOWER BODY OVER WITH AUTHORITY INTO A CORKSCREW KOPPU KICK TO THE SIDE OF PAINE’S HEAD!!!)

Dilan Valentine: You have to be kidding me!!

(Ito quickly shoots the half and delivers a confident cover.)

Referee: ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!!

(DING DING DING!!!)


(‘Never Alone’ hits the speakers to a good reaction from the audience. Touma Ito quickly rises to his feet as Nicholas Gabriel enters the ring.)

Ring Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUMA IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dilan Valentine: He’s so smooth in the ring!!

Lori Swick: That was insane.

(Gabriel walks over to Ito, handing over an envelope that Ito quickly puts in the front of his trunks. Gabriel brings the big frame into the ring. Getting ready to reveal it to the world.)

Dilan Valentine: What is he doing?

(Nicholas Gabriel pulls the cover off of the framed picture..REVEALING IT TO BE A PICTURE OF HIMARI!!!)

Lori Swick: Oh Hell No..

(With a relaxed look on his face, Touma Ito puts his arm around the framed picture, puckering his lips while targeting the face of Himari.)

Dilan Valentine: We already have news from the back that MYOJIN is trying to get out here. This is NOT good!!

Lori Swick: Can you blame them?!

(Ito and Gabriel casually exit the ring with the picture. Ito brings his hand down across the lower end of the picture to really add insult to injury as the two make their way to the backstage area as the shot fades out.)

(A commercial for PWV’s Relentless event. Make sure you tune into the replay to check out the amazing action as always, from Pro Wrestling Valor!!)

(In the office inside the former Cobo Arena, Gateway’s General Manager Eugene Youngblood has a sly grin on his face. A mix of cheers and jeers come from the audience as Youngblood acknowledges the love he’s getting from some.)

Eugene Youngblood: Thank you, THANK YOU Detroit!! Coming up on November 18th will be ‘First Shots Fired’, the first ever event under the umbrella of myself. With so many big matches on the card, a lot of people have asked what will happen with the Eclipse Championship. Of course, on Paradigm, we saw Justina Jade score her first ever victory and earned herself a shot at becoming the inaugural Champion. I want everybody to take a look though at her competition. Her first opponent also has success to her name, and I’m more than excited to announce that Galina Davidova will be fighting for that Championship!

(The camera pans over to the side, showing Galina. She has a confident look on her face as she eyeballs the camera.)

Eugene Youngblood: Joining Galina and Justina will be another wonderful competitor and one of the most feared women on the SWWS roster. I give you Kamile Sokovic.

(Standing beside Galina is Kamile. The Estonian prodigy has a smile on her face, thinking about the Championship she could very well win.)

Eugene Youngblood: Last, but definitely not least, is the final competitor in this contest. She has wins under her belt, and will be looking to take advantage of the opportunity presented. I give you Tammy Huynh!!

(At the very end is Tammy Huynh. She knows she’s an underdog in the match, but gives a genuine smile to the audience regardless.)

Eugene Youngblood: This match will be amazing, and I cannot wait for everybody to come to the Hammerstein Ballroom on November 18th to see the future of professional wrestling. Thank you guys, and God Bless.

(The overconfident smirk on the face of Youngblood says it all. The shot fades out on the three new competitors in the Eclipse Championship Match.)

(Immediately, we cut to the corridor of the TCF Center as Ramesses, Kimberly Chase, Mitchell Ryan, and Alandra come walking in. Always dressed to impress, the Inevitable continue their walk as they begin to talk.)

Mitchell Ryan: Hey Ram, you sure about this tonight?

Ramesses: Of course! Why should I worry about this?

Alandra: Okay, you haven’t said a single thing to us during the ride here, and now you have this cool demeanor. You could lose your top ranking tonight.

Ramesses: I could, but I won’t.

Kimberly Chase: Of course he won’t. Alandra, you know not to give him bad news when he’s walking. He s..

(Ramesses slowly comes to a stop.)

Kimberly Chase: Does that.

Ramesses: I gotcha guys. I’ve been thinking about this match for weeks now. We’re good. Look, I don’t know this Donny Mason guy. Maybe he’s a big deal, maybe he isn’t. He sure did a lot of talking on social media, I’ll say that.

Mitchell Ryan: Are you sure you don’t want us out there with you tonight?

(Glancing over at Kimberly Chase, Ramesses gives an affirmative nod.)

Ramesses: Look, I see where you guys are going with this. Nicholas needs me to be any kind of success in this company. He’ll sit on his hands, talk about himself, and maybe..Just maybe stay out of the contest. We got this, I know we do.

Alandra: But, Ro..

Ramesses: No. Trust me.

Kimberly Chase: Trust him, Alandra. He has never steered us wrong, and you know that.

(Kimberly and Ramesses walk ahead of Mitchell and Alandra. The confidence of Ramesses is nice, but something about the situation has Mitchell Ryan on edge. He looks over at Alandra, unsure of what to say.)

Alandra: It’s not him that I don’t trust, Mitchell. This thing stinks.

(Giving a nod to Alandra, Mitchell leads the way for the younger Morgan to walk to him to catch up with Ramesses and Kimberly as the shot fades out.)

(With the action back ringside we see our ring announcer all smiles and ready to get things started with the next contest.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a fifteen minute time limit!!

(The stage illuminates with a multicolored glow, the upbeat sounds of ‘Butterfly’ beginning to be heard across the sound system. The slender, perky silhouette of Bright Battle Battalion soldier Jaci can be seen showing off an adorable pose before the colorful combatant makes her way onto the stage with a bright smile. She gives a bow of appreciation for the cheering crowd and then makes her way to the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first! She represents the Bright Battle Battalion and comes to us by way of Toda, Saitama, Japan.. Weighing in tonight at 135 pounds.. She is JAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCIIIIIII!!

(Jaci hops up onto the apron, walking over to the closest turnbuckle and tapping the top a few times. She then hops over, landing on the second rope. Giving one last wave to the adoring fans, Jaci jumps down from the second rope, removing her entrance coat and handing it over to the ringside attendant. Heading to the opposite corner after a quick bow, the joyful theme of ‘Butterfly’ transitions into the powerful tune of ‘Broken Vessel’ which leads the fans into cheers. The lights switch over to a dark indigo shade, the matriarch of House of Paine and the SWWS wasting no time in stepping out onto the stage.)

Ring Announcer: And her opponent! She comes to us from Oakland, California and weighs in tonight at 155 pounds.. She is AAAAAATTTTHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEENNNNNAAAAAA DDDAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZEEEEEE!!

(Walking with a level of intensity few have seen and fewer can even try to match, Athena is pure focus, her eyes not leaving her smiling opponent. Skipping the pageantry, Athena steps to her opponent, the two meeting nearly nose to nose. Each then take a step back, offering both their hands out in a show of good faith and sportsmanship. Giving a firm grip and a shake, they maintain eye contact until letting go. The referee makes sure that they each head to their corner without incident before signalling for the bell to ring and get the match rolling.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

(Both athletes take their time circling one another, reaching out to get a good gauge of one another. They then meet in the middle for an intense lockup. Daze uses her power advantage to back Jaci up a few steps, but the agile youngster side steps to avoid getting pushed back all the way, ducking under to secure the arm of Daze. Athena just as quickly counters the grip, taking a side headlock. Jaci backs her up into the ropes to try and break things up, pushing her off. However, Athena keeps hold of the side headlock, going to a knee before bringing her down to the canvas in a takeover. Jaci scrambles underneath Daze to break free of her grip, Athena respectfully backing up once she does but calls for her opponent to bring more as the fans cheer on.)

Lori Swick: That right there, while some may see it as simple, was a pure display of control there by the veteran Athena Daze.

(Jaci is quick to get back to her feet, immediately going for another lockup with Athena. This time she ducks and gets the go behind, Daze swinging herself with an errant back elbow but making sure to not let go of control, hooking a front facelock. She then hoists her opponent up with ease, again putting on a showcase, this time of her power as she lifts Jaci up into a delayed vertical suplex, throwing in a couple squats for good measure before going for the quick cover.)

Dilan Valentine: You wanted to talk control earlier, Lori. That right there is just straight power. Jaci fought that the entire way but Athena would not be denied. She is looking to make a serious statement here tonight before she heads to Standoff to face her best friend Katsumi.

ONE! T-

(Jaci shoots her shoulder off the canvas. Athena latches onto said arm though but the fiery spirit of the smaller foe shines through. Jaci shifts her body around her bigger opponent, using her own long limbs to tie Daze up, pinning her down in a modified crucifix.)

ONE! T-

(Now Athena is the one who powers out of the cover with authority, also showing her quick reflexes as she jumps to a vertical base to avoid the sweep of Jaci. Not giving her a bit of space, Jaci charges at her. Athena goes for a lariat but Jaci ducks it, floating over and looking for the DDT. Daze stops the attempt though in one smooth motion, hooking her smaller opponent and tossing her right back down to the canvas with a beautiful overhead belly to belly suplex. The crowd cheers the big move as Daze goes for another cover.)

ONE! TWO! T-

Lori Swick: Jaci managed to kick out, but she definitely needs to get it together here if she wants to combat and conquer the pure focus Athena has in this one.

(Jaci goes for a kick to the arm of Daze, but it is caught by Athena who uses it to lift her off the canvas. Jaci fires back with a couple quick forearms to the side of her head, creating a bit of distance in order to twist herself around and go for another rollup on her stronger foe. Athena rolls through the wheelbarrow attempt, keeping a tight grip on her opponent, ready to end things as the crowd cheers her on. Jaci starts kicking back, yelling and gripping onto all she can. Not willing to give up, she even starts to yank at the canvas itself to stave off the attempt at the Wrath, ripping into it with her colorful claws.)

Leo Criss: This is how you know you got that power. Jaci grabbing and tearing at everything she can to avoid getting locked into that excruciating hold of Athena.

Dilan Valentine: Shockingly I couldn’t have stated it any better, Leo. Jaci is in serious trouble here.

(Jaci keeps on trying to pull herself away, kicking herself back but Daze doesn’t let up. Instead she uses her ever impressive strength to force her colorful opponent off the ground and into Athena’s Wrath. Continuing to struggle and fight against the powerful grip of Athena, Jaci does her best to reach for something, anything. All this does is urge Daze to bend her further, adding that last bit of torque which gets the Bright Battle Battalion soldier tapping, much to the delight of the crowd.)

(DING DING DING!!)

Ring Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE MATCH VIA SUBMISSION.. AAAAAAAATTTHHEEEEEEENNNAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAZZZEEEEEEEE!!

Dilan Valentine: Huge win here for Athena, who like her opponent did over in Japan, got that much needed momentum heading into Standoff.

Lori Swick: Too true, Dilan. Daze took down a very tough foe in the former Genesis Champion Jaci and more importantly sent a powerful message to Katsumi. If she gets caught in the grip of Daze, there is no escape.

(As Athena makes her exit out of the ring, cameras cut over to the backstage area where we see the wonderful Veronica standing by in an office.)

Veronica Landis: I am so glad you were able to meet me over here on a bit of short notice. Now ladies, I know you have a very important match to prepare for so I will be keeping this brief.

(Panning out the full image of Veronica, the challenger for the SWWS World Championship Jun Nishioka, fellow Kazoka representative Saika Sekiguchi and the SWWS World Champion, Ava.)

Veronica Landis: Now last broadcast, we had what was an incredible display of athleticism and skill between the two of you to determine who would be wrestling our World Champion on behalf of the KWDIAMONDS brand at Standoff.

Jun Nishioka: Which I won!

Veronica Landis: But not without a certain level of controversy. Now normally matters such as this are left to the official’s decision, but with so much on the line we decided to take a different route this time.

Saika Sekiguchi: So you will make this right?

Veronica Landis: Not me exactly..

(Turning her attention over to Ava, Veronica gives the champion a nod.)

Veronica Landis: As our defending SWWS World Champion and with this being one of the matches in the best of seven series, we only thought it fair to have you decide who your opponent will be for Standoff. No matter who you choose, it’s going to be a tough encounter but we have all the faith in the world in you Ava. So who is it going to be? Jun or Saika?

Ava: Easy.. both.

(Nishioka seethes in response, but Sekiguchi gives a nod of acknowledgement and a smile to Ava who returns the gesture. Veronica looks confused and about to chime in, but Ava gently places her hand up to stop her friend and executive.)

Ava: Hear me out, and I want you both to understand this as well. This isn’t me showing any kind of disrespect to either of you, if anything it’s the opposite. Yes, Jun you technically won that match. Saika had her shoulders pinned, but at the same time we don’t know if that would have been the case without Megumi getting involved. So what kind of warrior, what kind of champion would I be if I chose one or the other when both have a right.

Veronica Landis: I can absolutely respect that, Ava but I just want to make sure you realize the disadvantage this places you in going into this defense.

(Looking at the championship draped over her left shoulder with pride, Ava shows off a smile and then steps closer to both Jun and Saika who do the same.)

Ava: I completely understand.. and I’m ready.

Veronica Landis: Alright then, I’ll get the contract then. Thank you for your time everyone.

(Veronica backs over towards the desk to get matters sorted while the three competitors for Standoff stare one another down.)

(Back to ringside we go to the announcers at ringside.)

Dilan Valentine: Welcome back folks, and we are getting ready for our next match here. Evidently, there was a tear in the ring during our previous contest, so we’re in the middle of fixing that as we speak.

(Two ring attendants are trying to make some adjustments to the canvas.)

Leo Criss: Let’s talk about some of the exci..

(‘Welcome to the Jungle’ hits the speakers to a surprised reaction from the audience.)

Dilan Valentine: What is going on here?

(Jacob Fitch and Oliver Bradley, known collectively as the COBRA Battalion storm down to the ring in their workout gear.)

Lori Swick: Why are they coming out here?!

(Bradley and Fitch slide into the ring, and immediately attack the attendants inside of the ring!!!)

Leo Criss: Wait, they aren’t wrestlers!!

(Fitch grabs onto one of the attendants while the other one flees. Bradley charges off into the ropes while Fitch lifts him for a back suplex..BRADLEY DELIVERS A CHARGING LARIAT TO THE ATTENDANT, CAUSING HIM TO FLIP OVER THE SHOULDERS OF FITCH TO THE CANVAS!!!)

Lori Swick: HEY!!

(Oliver Bradley storms around the ring while Jacob Fitch grabs a microphone.)

Jacob Fitch: Do you think we flew all the way out here to face some nobodies inside of the ring? HUH?

(Bradley kicks the wounded attendant while Fitch continues.)

Jacob Fitch: Everywhere we have gone, it’s all been the same. We get in here, we knock around a bunch of losers.. We collect our paychecks, and get the fuck out. This isn’t even a payday.. New York City.. NOW THAT’S A PAYDAY!!!

(Bradley grabs the microphone from Fitch, walking over to the ropes.)

Oliver Bradley: We’re not patient men, but we know damn well that if we weren’t here, people would ask the stupid questions. They’d make bogus statements about how we’re running scared from Don Tirri and Matt Knox. Are they even here tonight? It seems like whenever we’re in town, they aren’t.

(Fitch grabs the microphone from Bradley.)

Jacob Fitch: We’re going to make this shit real clear to everyone in the back. Most of you couldn’t cut it in RUSH, so you took your sorry asses across the pond and fought for pennies on the dollar just to make a name for yourself. Your name doesn’t mean shit unless you’re in here with us. So, come on Knox.. Come on Tirri. Drop the 700 Club bullshit and bring your asses out here right now.

(Bradley grabs the microphone back from Fitch.)

Oliver Bradley: We’re waiting.. Come on Knox. You know damn well that if you’re just keeping ol’ girl warm for us!!!

(Fitch grabs the microphone back.)

Jacob Fitch: COME ON GUYS!!! EVERYONE BACK THERE WANTS TO RUN THEIR MOUTH.. BACK THAT SHIT UP RIGHT NOW!!

Voice: That’s Enough!!!

(Veronica makes her way onto the stage.)

Jacob Fitch: The fuck is this?

Veronica: In case you two nitwits weren’t told… There is a Mutual Non-Aggression Agreement between SWWS and The Kazoka Office until November 19th. Unless you two were in a match with someone, you’re not to engage against ANYONE in SWWS. That includes our wrestlers, our staff, the fans..ANYONE.

(Bradley grabs the microphone from Fitch.)

Oliver Bradley: Hey, I have no idea who the fuck you are, but you’re not saying any shit that is solving the problem tonight. We want those senile idiots out here right now.

Veronica: Absolutely not.

(Fitch grabs the microphone from Bradley.)

Jacob Fitch: Hey, sweetheart.. We ain’t taking directions from you. When OUR boss co..Fuck do you want?

(A Kazoka Representative stands on the ring apron, shouting at Fitch and Bradley.)

Kazoka Representative (off-mic): You need to get to the back.. Nicholas wants you guys there, not here.

(Fitch and Bradley look at each other. They look back at Veronica, who points to the back.)

Jacob Fitch: Are you kidding me? Fine.. We’ll murder the old men in New York..

(Fitch and Bradley begin to walk over to the ropes. Fitch intentionally steps on the fallen ring attendant on his way out of the ring with his COBRA Battalion teammate.)

Oliver Bradley (off-mic): This is bullshit, man..

(The teammates drop from the apron and make their way over to the stage. Veronica continues pointing to the back while they approach her. They try to intimidate her, but she stands her ground. Thinking of striking, they decide against it and slowly make their way to the back as we head to the back while the shot fades out.)

(In the middle of Downtown Detroit, the SWWS Paradigm Tag Team Champions the Crimson Bouquet stand in front of the Fox Theatre. Draped over both of their shoulders are the Paradigm Tag Belts and Wrestleworld’s Campeonatos De Parejas Belts.)

Lillie Saint: Damn, these things are heavy.

Crazy Violet: No kidding.

(Looking back from the theatre, both look over at the camera.)

Lillie Saint: SWWS fans, I know you’re looking forward to Standoff coming up on November 19th in New York City.

Crazy Violet: My birthday.

Lillie Saint: Her birthday. Bring a cake, Strawberry Shortcake. Wait, is it actually your birthday?

Crazy Violet: It isn’t.

Lillie Saint: Regardless, we’re going to be celebrating in NYC together when we take on those nasty BLOOD Diamonds. Stealing chairs, eating chicken in said stolen chair. To quote a certain someone.. How dare you?

(Violet glances up for a second, smirking at the line.)

Lillie Saint: New York City, much like Detroit, needs to have our back when we head into this important match. We win this thing, and we do our part in ensuring a win for SWWS in their best of seven. Vie and I, we’ve been walking around all day to check out the sites. We went on the People Mover, we got kicked out of Ford Field, then kicked out of Comerica Park.. then we got kicked out of Little Caesars Arena.

Crazy Violet: Lil, that was a Little Caesars.

Lillie Saint: Yeah, we got kicked out of the arena.

Crazy Violet: No, you tried to walk past the counter to grab a pizza. It was just a Little Caesars.

Lillie Saint: Whatever, they shouldn’t just have the pizzas chilling there. Okay, so the BLOOD Diamonds didn’t get kicked out when they stole something that WE gave to Kimberly Chase. So, we’re going to correct this injustice. We’re the vigilantes. We’re the secret service. We are the short arms of the law! Say hello to Officer Violet..

(The camera follows in on Violet, looking confused.)

Crazy Violet: Hello?

Lillie Saint: We’re going to be taking that win, and taking back the chair because that’s what we do! Tell ‘em Vie!!!

Crazy Violet: Well? Lil and I are getting tired of people not taking us seriously. We get it, we haven’t been teaming THAT long. We get it, I nearly killed her and she nearly killed me. We get it, we haven’t toured Japan, Mexico, or Canada.

Lillie Saint: No. Too cold.

Crazy Violet: It is too cold! What we HAVE done though is prove to the world that we belong at the top of the chain, The Crimson Bouquet are coming to New York City to prove it all over again.

Lillie Saint: And to find Violet a man.

Crazy Violet: Sure.

Lillie Saint: New York City, we’re coming for you!!!

Crazy Violet: That too.

Lillie Saint: I think we need a go-home line.

Crazy Violet: Oh?

Lillie Saint: You know, something catchy.

Crazy Violet: Alright, let’s see. Go Home.

Lillie Saint: Good enough!

(The camera pans down to Saint and Violet locking pinkies in their pinky swear gesture.)

Crazy Violet (voiceover): That wasn’t very good, was it?

Lillie Saint (voiceover): Who cares? I just want to punch Juri.

(The shot fades out as the two share a laugh.)

(The feed once again moves away from the ringside area. Initially soft tapping of nails can be heard against a surface. As the camera pans out, it shows none other than Juri Maou and Setsuka Fujii of the BLOOD Diamonds. Fujii stands stoically behind the back of the infamous chair, while Juri is seated comfortably on it, legs crossed. She taps the chair a few more times before finally acknowledging the camera, giving an exaggerated model like wave.)

Juri Maou: GREETINGS ALL YOU SAPPY WASTE! JURI HERE TO FIX YOUR FACE!

(Juri is quick to look over at her tag team partner for approval, Fujii offering a simple nod as the crowd voice a mix of displeasure, amusement and confusion.)

Juri Maou: Okay! Okay! Enough of song, with BLOOD Diamond words move along! Hi Lillie! Hi Violet! You know me, Juri! This Fujii! And THIS!!

(Maou adoringly points down to where her fanny is comfortably seated.)

Juri Maou: THIS IS CHAIR!!

(The crowd’s mixed reaction shifts to more jeers which takes Juri by surprise. Or at least seems to as she showcases a face of despair.)

Juri Maou: NO! NO! NO! You no boo chair! Chair fantastic! Comfy and kind to my bottom! Be better bullies! Now..

(Before she can get another word out, the boos echoing from the sold out studio grow in volume, causing the songstress to puff her cheeks.)

Juri Maou: FINE! FINE! YOU BOO! I NO CARE! I CARE A LOT! BE BETTER! CHAIR IS A HERO TO US ALL! Now, I know you want to see us there, kick butt and take your chips, but non aggression act say we have to be good girls so we take seat and relax away from all you!

(Juri aggressively taps on the chair now, shifting in it to try and get comfortable as Fujii stares daggers through the camera.)

Juri Maou: Funny how Lillie so mad about chair. Funny how Violet no talk about chair. Most funny is the Kimberly no even act like chair exist after biggest tragedy in face of universe to Lillie and some old lady. Make me think that Lillie grab at something no there. Seems to be history of this. Now I no bully, I no say Lillie bad, She okay in ring, okay out ring, win hot dog eating contest on twitch. Cool stuff! But she do this thing where her heart is so big and she is the only one who care. Meanwhile she go and hate me when I care more than she care and I cherish chair unlike all there! Why can we be friends?!

(While the majority of the audience still jeers the duo, some begin to show their appreciation for the attempt.)

Juri Maou: But at same time.. Standoff no about chair at all. This champion and champion face off for win of all! So of course me and Fujii will win! KWDIAMONDS have so much talent and give us gift of studying Crimson Bouquet too! Good team. Finally become sticky glue, but still growing. Still need to be better and this where you fall. You may see me as little thing in team and I am very little and cute but my heart is mighty with my head mightier! I break your skull with my face and then Fujii finish the race! So you go on and be happy to be there, we will push you both down and come with win, I do declare! Go have eggs! Take it Fujii!!

(Maou looks to her partner, dark eyes wide and bright. The beast of a woman simply lets out an exhale before a soft, stern voice is heard.)

Setsuka Fujii: You.. will.. Hurt..

Juri Maou: Goodnight from BLOOD Diamonds and CHAIR!

(Juri gives a hearty salute before turning over to her partner who has already taken a few steps away, heading over to a door.)

Juri Maou: So.. room service get here yet? I am so hungry and all I have today are eggs..

Setsuka Fujii: 何を注文しましたか?

Juri Maou: Omlet.

Setsuka Fujii: あなたは最悪の人です、私は誓います。

(With that the smallest of the tandem lets out a girlish giggle while her partner rolls her eyes, the scene fading out to an ad break.)

(In the backstage area, Matthew Knox is searching for The COBRA Battalion. He opens a few doors, to no avail. Upon opening another door, Veronica steps back, startled.)

Veronica: Oh Jesus!!

Matthew Knox: My mistake.

(Knox goes to close the door, but Veronica stops him by holding the door open.)

Veronica: What are you doing, anyways? You seem like you’re in a hurry.

Matthew Knox: I was just trying to find the bathroom.

(Not convinced, Veronica glares at him.)

Matthew Knox: What? I’m serious.

Veronica: Right.. Come on. You’ve been looking for them, haven’t you?

Matthew Knox: Oh, you mean the guys who took a shot at my wife and used every cheap insult towards Tirri and myself. Nah, I wouldn’t be looking for them.

Veronica: Good. That’s really good, Matthew. I’m glad that you’re aware that if you laid your hands on either one of them, or if they lay their hands on you, somebody will be forfeiting their match in the Best of Seven. We need you and Tirri.

Matthew Knox: We need this win, Veronica. I’ve been told so many things about how they conduct themselves. I’ve seen it for myself.

Veronica: We can’t afford to lose. Every win counts, and I personally recommended for you and Tirri to face them. Those men are very tough. We just have to find a way past them. Speaking of which, where is Tirri anyways?

Matthew Knox: He’s getting his boy ready.

Veronica: Alright. Just remember what I said, okay? Don’t attack them unless they attack first.

(Knox looks away for a moment, thinking he sees one of the Battalion down the hall. Upon realizing that it isn’t them, he looks back at her with a nod.)

Veronica: Thanks Matthew.

(Veronica steps back, closing the door as Knox slowly walks down the hall before we head back to ringside.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is a Superior Six Match, scheduled for one fall!!!

(Hell’s Bells hits the speakers to a good reaction from the audience. Donny Mason steps through the curtain, glancing across the full arena in Detroit. Don Tirri follows Mason while he makes his way down to the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, fighting out of Brighton, England.. Weighing in at 270lbs.. DOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASON!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Mason hypes himself with determination in his eyes. His father, Don Tirri, gives him a few words of advice while Mason walks up the steps to the apron. The rookie steps over the top rope into the ring. His arms separate as he faces the camera in the middle of the ring. He stretches his neck and rolls his shoulders with a nod.)

Dilan Valentine: This match actually has a major incentive for Donny Mason. As you know, on November 18th at First Shots Fired, Mason is competing for the SWWS Evolve Championship against Noach Van Norden, Andre Boone, and Isaiah Andrews. If he wins this match tonight, and successfully defeats Theodor Pavel while winning on the 18th, the man will become a double title holder.

Leo Criss: That is a major IF, Dilan. You have to remember who Mason is facing tonight.

(Mason settles into the corner, watching the ramp as his music fades out. Lights slowly dim down as ‘Dead Alert’ hits the speakers to a mixed reaction from the audience. Ramesses and Kimberly Chase make their way out onto the stage, but the jeers from the crowd hit a fever pitch as Nicholas Gabriel, FUMIHIKO, and BLOOD make their way out to join two of the Inevitable members.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent. Accompanied by Kimberly Chase, Nicholas Gabriel, and other Kazoka Office members. Fighting out of Newport Beach, California. Weighing in at 219lbs.. HE IS THE SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXUAL TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITAN… RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ramesses seems focused on Mason while Kimberly and the others follow him on the way down to the ring. Mason’s eyes haven’t left the Sexual Titan as he circles the ring before reaching the ring apron. Grabbing the middle rope, he quickly spins under his arm while sliding to pull himself up onto the apron. Entering the ring while watching Mason, he removes his Inevitable t-shirt.)

Dilan Valentine: I still don’t understand this alliance with the Kazoka Office. It seems more one sided. Nicholas Gabriel is clearly trying to get any advantage he can as we head into Standoff on the 19th!

Lori Swick: You can’t trust these men. I have no idea why Ramesses continues to trust his older brother like this.

Dilan Valentine: Well, we’re going to have to see how this goes.

(Ramesses gets into position as the referee steps in between the two. ‘Dead Alert’ fades out, allowing the referee to call for the bell.)

(DING DING DING!!!)

(Mason and Ramesses circle the ring, sizing one another up. They quickly lock up in the middle of the ring. Mason uses his power advantage to push Ramesses back a few steps, but the veteran pushes his foot back into the middle turnbuckle. Mason struggles to get the advantage back, allowing Ramesses to pull the rookie into the corner. He gives a clean break for a second before throw in a shoulder thrust at the ribcage of Mason. A second one follows in, forcing Mason to try and cover up. Ramesses knee lifts the hands of Mason, and looks to hip toss him to the middle of the ring but Donny Mason stops him in his tracks.)

Dilan Valentine: Oh this is a bad decision.

(Ramesses again tries to go for the hip toss, but Mason won’t allow it. The big guy steps out of the corner, reversing the hip toss attempt into one of his own. He lifts the Sexual Titan high in the air and throws him across the ring with an elevated hip toss to a huge ovation from the crowd!! Ramesses stumbles up, only to be clotheslined to the canvas by Mason. He’s back up again, eating another clothesline for his efforts. Mason charges off into the ropes, while Don Tirri watches on, and looks for a third clothesline. Ramesses manages to duck out of the way. Mason hits the ropes again, and runs into a beautiful dropkick from Ramesses!!! Mason hits the mat hard while Nicholas Gabriel and Kimberly Chase cheer from the outside of the ring.)

Lori Swick: I can’t say he had Mason scouted there, but he definitely outsmarted the youngster.

(Mason staggers to his feet, allowing Ramesses to drive in a series of leg kicks. Mason grabs onto Ramesses, pushing him back. The rookie steps in and swings hard for the head, but Ramesses ducks under. He charges off into the ropes, and quickly catches Mason with a basement dropkick to the back of his knee!!! Ramesses is back up, grabbing the leg of Mason, and delivers an elbow drop to the side of the knee. Mason reaches for Ramesses, only for him to push the hands away. He eventually gets up, kicking at the leg of Mason while Nicholas cheers him on.)

Dilan Valentine: It looks like Ramesses has found his weakness.

(Mason is fighting back to his feet, allowing Ramesses to throw in a series of punches. Mason steps back to the ropes, and Ramesses follows in by clotheslining Donny Mason over the top rope to the outside. Mason stumbles up, nearly running into Nicholas Gabriel. Ramesses charges off into the ropes, and returns to go for a suicide dive over the top rope..BUT NICHOLAS GABRIEL PULLS KIMBERLY CHASE IN FRONT OF HIM!!!)

Dilan Valentine: You have to be kidding me!!

(Noticing that Kimberly is being held as a human shield by Nicholas, Ramesses stops the dive and leans into the ropes, glaring at Gabriel.)

Ramesses (off-mic): WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

Nicholas Gabriel (off-mic): It was an accident, I swear!!!

(Ramesses climbs to the second rope to try and reach for Kimberly to get away from Nicholas, but DONNY MASON IS BACK IN THE RING..HE CATCHES RAMESSES WHILE HE’S ON THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A BACKDROP SUPLEX TO THE SEXUAL TITAN!!! MASON IS ON THE ATTACK, PULLING HIM UP INTO A SCOOP..HE HOLDS HIM IN PLACE..AND BACKFLIPS WITH RAMESSES IN HIS ARMS...THE SICK FLIP CONNECTS!!! NICHOLAS GABRIEL QUICKLY GETS ONTO THE RING APRON TO STOP MASON..BUT THE REFEREE IS GETTING IN BETWEEN THE TWO WHILE SHOUTING AT GABRIEL TO GET OFF THE APRON.)

Lori Swick: This is going badly!!

(Mason goes to pull up Ramesses..BUT FUMIHIKO GETS INTO THE RING..GABRIEL CAN’T STOP THE REFEREE FROM TURNING AROUND..AND FUMIHIKO LEVELS DONNY MASON WITH A FOREARM ACROSS THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! HE STOMPS AWAY AT THE ROOKIE..THE REFEREE SEES THIS..AND CALLS FOR THE BELL!!!)

(DING DING DING!!)

Dilan Valentine: Wait..He..JUST COST RAMESSES THE MATCH!!!

Ring Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION...AND NEW #1 RANKED COMPETITOR IN THE SUPERIOR SIX...DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASON!!!!!

(Don Tirri is quick to try and get Mason out of the ring. FUMIHIKO can’t catch Mason as he’s pulled out by Tirri. Mason doesn’t even know what just happened. BLOOD and Gabriel immediately get into the ring and go after Mason, but it’s too late.)

Lori Swick: That whole thing backfired on the Kazoka Office!!!

(Mason and Tirri head up the ramp, Tirri grinning from ear to ear for Mason’s victory. Mason doesn’t look nearly as pleased. Ramesses, realizing that he lost, quickly turns Nicholas Gabriel around.)

Ramesses: Why did you guys do that???

Nicholas Gabriel: I’m so sorry!! FUMIHIKO was trying to help you..

Ramesses: I didn’t need his help!! Dude, I wasn’t out of this thing yet!!

Nicholas Gabriel: It’s okay, we’ll get it back. It’s alright.

(Ramesses, irate at FUMIHIKO, is stopped by Nicholas Gabriel.)

Nicholas Gabriel: I’ll take care of this. FUMIHIKO, you know you shouldn’t have gotten in there.. Please shake his hand and apologize..

Ramesses: No, we’re not done here.

Nicholas Gabriel: It’s over, we’re good. Little Brother, you know I wouldn’t have tried to cost you the match, neither would he. We didn’t want Donny Mason to win…

(Mason and Tirri watch from the top of the stage for a moment, eventually leaving through the curtain.)

Nicholas Gabriel: Please, just understand, we make mistakes. I’ve made mistakes, Baby Brother. Dad wants us to be a family, let’s fix this. Come on, we’ll figure this out. Please, Roderick?

(Ramesses pauses, looking over at Kimberly. She doesn’t know how to react to what happened. Finally agreeing to make a decision, he sees the hand of FUMIHIKO extend to him. Ramesses slowly reaches over and takes the hand of FUMIHIKO, shaking it.)

Nicholas Gabriel: Good, now we can fix the problem..

(FUMIHIKO PULLS IN RAMESSES, AND DELIVERS A BACKDROP DRIVER!!! NICHOLAS GABRIEL STANDS THERE WITH A DEVILISH SMILE ON HIS FACE. ENDO AND AOKI JOIN IN ON THE ATTACK ON RAMESSES AS THE THREE OF THEM STOMP AWAY AT THE SEXUAL TITAN!!!)

Dilan Valentine: SON OF A BITCH!!!

(MITCHELL RYAN SPRINTS OUT TO THE RING. HE SLIDES IN AND IMMEDIATELY GOES AFTER FUMIHIKO, BUT CAN’T OUTMATCH THE THREAT OF FUMIHIKO AND BLOOD AS THEY BEAT DOWN RYAN. KIMBERLY CHASE TRIES CLIMBING INTO THE RING, BUT LOOKS OFF TO THE SIDE AT SOMETHING.)

Lori Swick: You need to stay out of there.. Ramesses and Mitchell really need help there though!!!

(The chorus of boos are deafening as Endo and Aoki pull Ramesses up to his feet, each holding the arm of the fallen brother. Nicholas Gabriel rolls up his sleeve, preparing to punch his younger brother..The crowd suddenly erupts in cheers, with Kimberly Chase removing herself from the apron…)

Dilan Valentine: No...Way….

(Endo turns towards someone...AND COLTON SAINT LEVELS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND!! ENDO STUMBLES BACK.. AOKI COMES IN AND TAKES A RIGHT HAND AS WELL!!! NICHOLAS GABRIEL QUICKLY GETS OUT OF THE RING WHILE SAINT FIRES AWAY AT BLOOD AND FUMIHIKO WITH A SERIES OF RIGHT HANDS. RAMESSES JOINS IN AND FIRES PUNCHES AT THE THREE!!! MITCHELL RYAN JOINS IN AS WELL!!! RYAN AND FUMIHIKO FIGHT THEIR WAY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING WHILE RAMESSES, COLTON SAINT, AND BLOOD BATTLE IT OUT!!! REALIZING THE TROUBLE THEY’RE IN, BLOOD EXITS THE RING. SAINT LEANS OVER THE ROPES, FIRED UP WHILE RAMESSES WATCHES HIM.)

Dilan Valentine: Guys.. Colton Saint and Ramesses are in the ring together!!!

(Saint turns around, with Ramesses looking over at him. They walk over to each other and GIVE EACH OTHER A HUGE HUG!!!)

Lori Swick: This is incredible!!!

(Zane slides a clipboard into the ring. Ramesses looks down at it, then at Saint. The Sexual Titan walks over and picks it up..He pulls the pen from the clipboard, looking right at BLOOD while signing the contract for Standoff!!)

Dilan Valentine: Ramesses just signed the contract!!

(Saint looks over at BLOOD as well, noticing something in the corner of his eye as the crowd cheers loudly….)

Lori Swick: Oh my..

(Saint takes the clipboard from Ramesses, staring him down..AND SIGNS THE CONTRACT AS WELL!!!! NICHOLAS GABRIEL IS IN DISBELIEF!!!)

Dilan Valentine: Are you kidding me??? Colton Saint and Ramesses both signed the contracts..THE GAIJIN PLAYBOYS HAVE REUNITED AND WILL BE FACING BLOOD ONE OF THE BEST OF SEVEN MATCHES!!!

(Kimberly Chase looks absolutely stunned at ringside, watching Colton Saint and Ramesses exit the ring together. Ramesses takes Kimberly by the hand as the three of them make their way up the ramp to a huge ovation from the audience. The shot fades out on the signature handshake from the Gaijin Playboys.)

(A commercial airs for SWWS vs. The Kazoka Office: Standoff on November 19th. Make sure you check it out!!!)

(A darkened room..Only a white and black mask is shown.. The design on the mask slowly morphs.)



“J’ai regardé.”




(The mask continues to morph, focusing on the eyes of the mask moving.)

“Esmu redzējis pagātni.”

(Exhale comes from the masked man, bringing a slow cloud out of where the mouth of the mask is.)

“أهوال هذا اليوم..”

(With more of the mask getting morphed into darkness, the words grow stronger.)

“Edessä on synkkä tulevaisuus.”

(The black marks on the mask continue to morph, this time showing more of a face.)

“Στις αμαρτίες του κακού. Στην αγνότητα του καλού…”

(The masked man slowly backs up into the darkness.)

“私が来るのを知っている.”

(M...I...M...I...C)

(The shot fades out as we head back to ringside.)

(Back at ringside, Dilan Valentine, Lori Swick, and Leo Criss are still trying to comprehend what has happened tonight.)

Dilan Valentine: I can’t get over this.

Leo Criss: What in the world was up with that mask?

Lori Swick: That’s bad news for anyone who gets on his bad side..

Dilan Valentine: Well guys, now we’re onto our Main Event of the evening...This should be incredible. Let’s take it to our Ring Announcer.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is your MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING..AND IS FOR THE SWWS WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(The song for the challengers hasn’t even kicked in, but a voice draws jeers from the audience.)

Marisol Vilaro: Stop what you’re doing! Don’t take another bite of that nasty hot dog.. Don’t take another sip of that poisonous beer...IT’S TIME TO CROWN NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!

(‘Shake It Off’ hits the speakers to a horrible reaction from the audience. Marisol Vilaro is the first to appear on the stage, allowing Miguel and Lorenzo to make their way out from the stage behind her. She has a beaming grin on her face.)

Marisol Vilaro: Everyone, please shut up! Nobody wants to hear what you have to say, Detroit!!

(The crowd continues to jeer as the three are walking down to the ring.)

Marisol Vilaro: So, since you’re going to behave yourselves for me, let’s do this! Tonight, we’re going to do something that your Pistons, Lions, Red Wings and even those Tigers couldn’t get done for the last 15+ years.. WE are about to become Champions!!! On my left is the standout that makes more women swoon than Tom Selleck on his best day.. He’s chiseled, he has all the movie star good looks..HE IS MIGUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!

(A small pop from the Detroit crowd for Tom Selleck, but not for Miguel.)

Marisol Vilaro: Onto my right… The Rock Star who has more hits in the ring than Eminem, Big Sean, and The Temptations combined… Sleek and perfect for the Vilaro Legion.. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORENZO!!!!!!!!!!!

(Louder jeers come as the Vilaro Legion and Marisol Vilaro walk up the steps to the apron. Lorenzo and Miguel climb into the ring and reach over to Marisol. They lift her up and over the top rope into the ring.)

Marisol Vilaro: And me.. Little ol’ me… I’m only the brains, the beauty, the motivation, the star..I am MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARISOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILAAAAAAARO...AND THIS IS MY VILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARO LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGION!!!!

(The challengers raise Marisol’s hand while she brags about herself to them. They don’t seem to mind.)

Dilan Valentine: Just when you think she wouldn’t stop talking, she starts all over again.

Lori Swick: I hate to admit it, but the Vilaro Legion have a lot of momentum going into this match tonight. They look like they’re at their best, and they have a true general at ringside in the form of Marisol Vilaro. This should be a test for the Tag Team Champions.


(‘Shake It Off’ slowly fades out as chants for the Hot Fungers start up. ‘Stayin’ Alive - Remix’ hits the speakers to a huge ovation from the audience. Ted Hot and Chuck Funger make their way out onto the stage with the SWWS World Tag Team Championship belts around their waists. Hot is getting the crowd fired up while Funger does a little dancing as the two make their way down the ramp.)

Ring Announcer: And their opponents.. Hailing from Your Girlfriend’s Bedroom and Car respectively, weighing in a total combined weight of 535lbs. THEY ARE THE REIGNING SWWS WORLD TAG TEAM CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMPIONS.. TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT, CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNGERS...THEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNGERS!!!

(The crowd erupts for the Hot Fungers as they continue their way down to the ring. Hot walks alongside the guardrail, peering over at a woman at ringside. He pulls out his hotel room key, sticking it between his lips. He leans over at the girl who takes it from Hot with her own lips!! Hot grins to himself, getting a kiss on the cheek from the lady, bringing Ted Hot into heavy gyrations in excitement!! He slides into the ring quickly, joined by Chuck Funger as they dance in the ring together to a thunderous ovation from the audience.)

Dilan Valentine: The energy of the Champions is absolutely contagious!!

Lori Swick: These men have been defending the Championships on live events for some time, and now they have a chance to defend it for the first time on television! This is exciting!

(Hot and Funger remove their Championships from around their waist, and hand them to the referee. The referee adjusts the titles, raising them high for the audience to see. ‘Stayin’ Alive - Remix’ fades out as the chants for the Hot Fungers continue. The referee looks at both teams before calling for the bell!!)

(DING DING DING!!)

Dilan Valentine: And here we go!!

(Ted Hot and Miguel kick things off, circling the ring for a moment before locking up in the middle. Hot catches Miguel off guard with a quick go behind. He grips the waist of Miguel, only for the Legion member to deliver a standing switch. Hot, being the smaller of the two, is lifted up, and thrown to the canvas with an amateur takedown. Miguel quickly springs to his feet, taunting Ted Hot by doing jumping jacks!!)

Lori Swick: Ugh..

(Hot slowly gets up, looking out at Chuck Funger. He nods to his teammate and circles the ring again. Miguel raises his hand up for a test of strength, keeping it out of reach of Hot. One half of the Champions glares at Lorenzo before trying to reach, but Miguel raises the hand even higher. Hot stops his attempt and looks up at the rude man, then at the crowd. He shrugs his shoulders and stomps on the foot of Miguel!! One of the Challengers hops on one foot for a moment before swinging at Hot… Hot ducks the punch and stomps on his other foot!! Marisol is screaming at Miguel to quit bouncing around...allowing Hot to deliver a dropkick to take down Miguel!!)

Marisol Vilaro: LORENZO!!

(Lorenzo quickly responds by getting into the ring and charging at Hot. A dropkick from the Champion brings Lorenzo to the mat as well. Miguel is back up and quickly forearms Hot across the back. He grabs onto his arm, and whips the Champion into the ropes. Miguel drops his head for a back body drop, but Hot hurdles over him. He hits the ropes again, this time Lorenzo is looking for the back body drop.. Again Hot hurdles over him and hits the ropes..A BLIND TAG FROM CHUCK FUNGER!!)

Dilan Valentine: Look at him go!!

(Hot hits the ropes again..and both members of the Vilaro Legion look for a double clothesline. Hot doesn’t have time to duck, so he leaps up at both Miguel and Lorenzo, clearing their arm into a commando roll..CHUCK FUNGER CHARGES IN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE DOWN BOTH MEN!!)

Lori Swick: YES!!


(Chuck Funger looks over at Ted Hot, lifting him up for a back suplex. Miguel and Lorenzo are back on their feet, stumbling near one another, only for Funger to throw Hot into a cross body onto both men!! Down goes both members of the Vilaro Legion!!!)

Leo Criss: This is awesome, the Champions look to be in rare form!


(The referee is trying to get the illegal men out of the ring, with Marisol screaming at the Hot Fungers in anger. Chuck Funger notices Marisol, pointing his hand over at her. While he’s distracted, both Lorenzo and Miguel attack Ted Hot from behind, quickly dispatching him from the ring. Hot hits the outside mat hard, rolling towards the guardrail while holding his knee. Funger turns around, right into the waiting arms of Lorenzo and Miguel who deliver a double STO to Funger. Miguel quickly rolls out of the ring while Lorenzo goes for the cover.)

Referee: One!!! Two!!!

(Funger powers out at two. Miguel slides back into the ring, and quickly lifts Lorenzo up into a scoop, bodyslamming him onto Funger!! Funger looks to the corner, holding his chest. He struggles to kneel up, and is promptly attacked by Lorenzo. He quickly backs up, making a quick tag to Miguel. Miguel is now in the ring, and the two deliver a series of forearms to the head of Chuck Funger. Each member of the Vilaro Legion hit opposite sides of the ropes and return with shoulder tackles, one to the back and one to the chest of the Sexiest Masked Man in the Building! Lorenzo grabs onto Miguel, picking him up for a side suplex, but twists him over into a splash onto Funger. Marisol applauds wildly as Miguel goes for the cover.)

Referee: One!! Two!!

(Funger again kicks out, sitting himself up.)

Dilan Valentine: The tide has certainly turned in the favor of the Challengers.

(Miguel grabs onto the neck of Funger, throwing wild punches to the head. Funger is slowly pulling himself up though with the support of the audience. Miguel quickly runs back to Lorenzo, making the tag. Lorenzo gets in and both men kick away at Funger. They pull him up quickly, trying for a double bodyslam on Chuck Funger, but two hard forearms, one to each member of the Legion stops the attack. A hard palm strike to Lorenzo, one for Miguel as well. Funger steps back, running in with a full head of steam, but the Legion is too fast! They catch Funger with a double drop toe hold, followed by a flapjack lift from Miguel to Lorenzo, leading to a rolling senton splash..BUT FUNGER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! Miguel tries to stomp away at Funger, but the big guy sees Ted Hot wanting the tag!!)

Lori Swick: Come on, Chuck!! This is your chance!!

(Funger grabs onto Miguel, throwing him backwards..Funger with a back roll to the corner and throws his hand back to Ted Hot..WHO MAKES THE TAG!!!)

Dilan Valentine: There’s the tag!!!

(Ted Hot climbs into the ring and immediately delivers a hard right hand to Miguel!! He fires in several punches before whipping Miguel into the ropes. Miguel ducks the clothesline..Hits the ropes again and ducks the back elbow from Hot..One more time he’s coming back, and runs into a Thesz Press from Ted Hot!!! A series of wild punches come from the All Night Delight himself!!! Hot is back on his feet, favoring his knee..but he’s fired up!! Hot delivers a stiff jab to Lorenzo, stopping him in his tracks. Another hard jab, followed by a third one.. Ted Hot dances for a quick second and leaps up..falling back after grabbing the neck of Lorenzo..AN INVERTED LUNG BLOWER TO ONE OF THE VILARO LEGION MEMBERS!!! Marisol is going insane on the outside of the ring. She’s shouting at Miguel to get up!!!)

Leo Criss: Look at him go!! I love this guy!!

(Hot is going wild!! He throws in a hard right to Miguel!! Lorenzo is back up..and has the heads of both members, A noggin’ knocker?? Lorenzo kicks Ted Hot in the leg, followed by a kick from Miguel to the same knee. Both men twist under his arm, grabbing the legs of Ted Hot, and spin over into a double sweep!!!)

Lori Swick: Come on Chuck!!

(Chuck Funger climbs onto the apron to try and tag..BUT IS SPRAYED IN THE FACE BY MARISOL VILARO!!!)

Dilan Valentine: No!!! Come on, referee!!!

(Seizing the opportunity, Miguel picks up Ted Hot, lifting him high for a side suplex. The crowd knows what’s coming next, jeering loudly. Lorenzo steps in, turning away from Miguel. Hot is trying to fight out of the hold..but is dropped back down into the waiting arms of Lorenzo..WHO DELIVERS THE MASSIVE SPINEBUSTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! THE CRASH DIET CONNECTS ON TED HOT!!! LORENZO DROPS ONTO TED HOT, MAKING AN EXTREMELY TIGHT COVER!!!)

Referee: ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!!

(DING DING DING!!!)

(‘Shake It Off’ hits the speakers to a horrible reaction from the audience. Marisol Vilaro quickly climbs into the ring to celebrate with her guys.)

Ring Announcer: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS….AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW SWWS WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… MIGUEL..LORENZO...THE VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARO LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGION!!!!!!!!

Dilan Valentine: That was horrible!

Leo Criss: Are you kidding me? We all knew that the Vilaro Legion was going to win tonight!! How could anyone doubt the Vilaro System?!

(The referee hands the titles over to Miguel and Lorenzo, who quickly hand the titles over to Marisol Vilaro. They lift her up onto their shoulders with grins on their faces while Marisol holds up both SWWS World Tag Team Title Belts!!!)

Lori Swick: The only thing I can say is that there was great teamwork by Miguel and Lorenzo in this match. They found a way to neutralize both men in different ways, and took advantage of the injured knee of Ted Hot.

(The music continues to play to a chorus of boos from the audience as the shot fades out, allowing us to go to commercial break.)

(A commercial airs for ‘First Shots Fired’, the November 18th event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. See the first Evolve and Eclipse Champions crowned in what should be an exciting event.)

(Back from commercial break, Team SWWS stands on the top of the stage, alongside Veronica. We have Theodor Pavel, Ava, Athena Daze, Don Tirri, Matthew Knox, MYOJIN, Ramesses, Colton Saint, Lillie Saint, and Crazy Violet standing in silence.)

Veronica: You know, I’m a firm believer that anything can happen in this world. Miracles can happen, and anyone can be defeated. I’m an even further believer that the team standing on this ramp can beat the Kazoka Office. Their voices deserve to be heard, and I’m giving us a little extra time to tell everyone why they’re going to win their matches at Standoff. Let’s start with you, Matthew Knox.

Matthew Knox: Ever since I first wrestled for this company, there’s been a thorn in the ass that I’ve had to deal with. More so than anything else, it’s been the Kazoka Office. I didn’t know who Tirri and I would be facing, but once the COBRA Battalion shoved their faces into the spotlight, it all made sense. I don’t know you guys, and it wouldn’t even matter if I did. You cross the line, and you get the consequences. You boys ran your mouth, and you get to deal with something that you’ll never be able to stop. We’re going to beat you senseless.

Veronica: Good. Don Tirri?

Don Tirri: Rivalries are always a thing in this business. It’s never personal until you involve a loved one. The Kazoka Office attacked my friends..They attacked me… They attacked my son.. I’m going to deliver the payback that everyone wants. Like Knox, I have no idea who these two even are, but they’re wanting to fight. It’s funny, actually, because we want one too. We finally get to put our hands on you in New York City. It’s going down.

Veronica: Excellent! Athena Daze, you’ve been a locker room leader for this company. You’re facing your best friend in a very important match. Talk to us.

Athena Daze: Kat, I love you. I have always looked at you as the sister I’ve always wanted, and I’ll always support you in anything you do. Anything, but beating me at Standoff. There’s a thing in this match that is going to drive me harder than ever before, and that is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of my brothers and sisters in the locker room. We’re going to fight, and we’re going to still be friends for life. I know this, but I’m going to make you tap out. I love you, but I’m making you tap. Sorry, dear.

Veronica: In a more personal match, we have the Crimson Bouquet facing the BLOOD Diamonds. Violet, talk to us.

Crazy Violet: I don’t get it. I don’t get why this entire situation is taking place. My career has been a rollercoaster. Even with the lowest of lows, I’ve always fought back. I just had to do it myself so many times. Now, I look at Lillie, and I know we’re going to take down these two. We’re going to make it happen.

Lillie Saint: Absolutely. We’re hearing about all of these things, but damn if the Kazoka Office hasn’t hit a cord that makes everything so personal in what we do. Our livelihoods are on the line in New York City. We need to win, we need to get the job done. Violet and I will do our part, and we’ll bring home a victory for all of you.

Veronica: Excellent. Ramesses, I bet you’re happy right now.

Ramesses: Nah. I’m not happy. I’ve never lost my best friend, but I know that he’s taking one hell of a risk by getting into the ring at Standoff. What we do to BLOOD inside of that ring is going to be barbaric, and it’s going to be the match that changes the landscape of BOTH companies. It doesn’t matter how we do it, but we’re taking this thing.

Colton Saint: That’s right, Roddy. You know, BLOOD and ourselves, we’ve been around the block before. We fought in Japan, we fought in South Korea, and now we bring this entire war to New York City. I ain’t much for the city, but I will say this, after we take down those bastards and we win this Best of Seven.. I don’t know guys, I think we should hit the town and have one hell of a party...And lots of food, hint hint.

Veronica: Excellent! I’d love to have that food. MYOJIN, I bet you would love to feed Touma Ito a few of your kicks..Talk to us.

MYOJIN: What’s there to say? My fiance is pure, she’s wonderful. She hasn’t done anything to anyone here, and yet you target her. She won’t defend herself inside of the ring, but I will. I’m going to make sure that the only thing you’re eating after this is all said and done, are the words you spoke about her. I told you to keep her name out of your mouth..Now I’m going to shut it for good.

Veronica: Please do. Ava, you’re defending the SWWS World Championship at Standoff in a triple threat match. You’re facing not one, but two Kazoka representatives. Talk to us.

Ava: Call it confidence, you can call it anything. I call it assurance, because I will be damned if I walk out there in New York City and let people down. I’m going to make sure that this title is so far away from their grasp, that there’s no doubt at all who the best company in this wrestling business is. To quote one of the great singers.. I won’t back down.. No, I won’t back down. You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won’t back down. You’re on.

Veronica: Beautiful! And now, Theodor. Our SWWS World Heavyweight Champion, you’re facing a man who hasn’t lost in six years. How are you going to tackle the Human Boulder?

Theodor Pavel: By kicking his head off. If that doesn’t work, I’ll do it again. I won’t go down in defeat, but you will. Six years of luck will come crashing. I will win.

Veronica: This is the team that is going to come away with the victory in the Best of Seven. Bring your best, Kazoka!!

(It didn’t take long as Nicholas Gabriel, Touma Ito, BLOOD, The COBRA Battalion, Katsumi Kumagai, Amida Kumagai, The BLOOD Diamonds, Jun Nishioka, and Saika Sekiguchi step out onto the stage. Each of them match up to their opponents while Nicholas Gabriel stares down Veronica.)

Nicholas Gabriel: You’re going to regret ever making this challenge.

Veronica: You’re going to regret eating garlic before the show..

(Without hesitation, the Kazoka members quickly go nose to nose with Team SWWS. All the way down the line, the two sides are facing off. Who will budge? Who will escape New York City? We’ll find out on November 19th!!!)
