The scene opens on Clash with the usual flare: fireworks, flames, concussive pyros, the whole damn thing. Chris Avery: WELCOME TO MONDAY NIGHT CLASH! I’M CHRIS AVERY, AND HERE WITH ME IS MY BROADCASTING PARTNER, BILLY!Billy’s voice carries none of the energy of Chris’s. The camera shows us the stage and reveals what has Billy’s goat: an enormous, 8-foot-tall set of gold letters that spell out the word FOUR. Billy: … I just … I just can’t believe he’s champion again, Chris.Chris Avery: I know, Billy. I know. Adilene Floyd: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring… An Black gospel choir files out from behind the letters and each take up a space on the stage as they open hymn books and begin to loudly hum the instrumentation that brings Dandy DiVito to the ring. Adilene Floyd: HE IS "THE ACTION WRESTLING ORIGINAL"... HE IS THE ACTION WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION!!! Billy: UGH! Adilene Floyd: HE IS THE GREATEST ACTION WRESTLING CHAMPION OF ALL TIME!Billy: Oh god, Chris. Make it stop. This is killing me!Adilene Floyd: HE IS DANDYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DIVITOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Over the PA, lyrics scream out: NOW IS THE TIMEFOR ME TO RISE TO MY FEETWIPE YOUR SPIT FROM MY FACEWIPE THESE TEARS FROM MY EYESDandy DiVito appears on the stage with his World title slung over his shoulder and Richard following close behind wearing a sling. The crowd boos loudly as the brothers make their way to the ring, each of them wearing a proud, shit eating grin on his respective face. Dandy slides into the ring and hops up into the corner to show off his title belt to a passionately negative response from the audience. Billy: The ropes are gold, the ramp just turned gold, and this asshole is wearing a pure white suit? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WORLD COMIN’ TO, CHRIS?! Dandy grabs the microphone from Adilene as Richard sits on the second rope and holds it open for her to get out. Dandy keeps his eyes glued to her hind end as she exits the ring, and then he turns his full attention to the hard camera. He lifts the mic to his mouth, but there’s no words that come out of him. His smile somehow only gets bigger as Dandy raises his hands toward the heavens in celebration. Billy: ARE THOSE GOLD BALLOONS? WHO LET HIM DROP BALLOONS?!An enormous BANG goes off and suddenly there is a blizzard of confetti in the ring as well. Dandy is eating all of this up like a mad man. The crowd fucking hates it and boos him accordingly. Billy: CONFETTI, TOO?! JESUS CHRIST! I’M DONE, CHRIS! I CAN’T DO THIS! THIS IS TOO MUCH SHIT! I CAN’T BREATHE!Dandy continues to celebrate as the confetti rains down. We hear the sound of a headset being removed as Billy takes his off and drops his head to the announce table. As he reacts to Dandy, his groans are audible. Billy: I don't even want to be around anymore…Chris mutters into his mic to a backstage producer. Chris Avery: Uh… Can we cut Billy’s feed for a minute? … Yeah. I’ll check on him. Cut mine, too.Dandy grabs his mic as the announcer drama unfolds unbeknownst to him in the ring. Dandy DiVito: THE CHAMP IS HERE!Crowd: FUCK-YOU DAN-DY! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* FUCK-YOU DAN-DY! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* FUCK-YOU DAN-DY! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*Dandy DiVito: I love y’all, too!

I AM DANDY DIVITO! I AM THE WORLD’S FUCKIN’ GREATEST!The tron screen lights up and Dandy’s theme starts again as Billy begins to bang his head on the announce desk.

Sam Kidsgrove Is Here!
We come back from a commercial. Kidsgrove and Zooey are already in the ring and Sam has a mic. The crowd is cheering wildly, happy to see the Hollywood Power Couple. In their hearts, Kidsgrove is still popular. Zooey and Sam look around in appreciation, Sam is now wearing casual non branded clothing, not like his usual swag and high end stuff. There is no sign of the Fight Smart deal. Zooey, as always, looks resplendent, even with a simple dress. She smiles at the crowd appreciatively as Kidsgrove begins. Sam Kidsgrove: Day 1. That’s where we’re at. Day 1 of 360, give or take as this time next year I’ll be gone. I’ll be gone because I’m a has-been. I’m a middle aged man with his star power on the wane and new, young, hungry up and comers are taking my place. I’ll be gone because even though I have served this company with honour and distinction for years, becoming a record breaking US and tag team champion I’m not, to borrow an Americanism “Bang for buck.” After all, no one wants to watch a has been with type one diabetes possibly have a stroke in the middle of the ring right? Even if they are one of the pillars of this company.So faced with this, what can a man do? I mean other guys my age would probably get a teen girlfriend, throw on a baseball cap and start watching monster trucks right?The crowd laughs as Kidsgrove looks at Zooey, who mouths the words “Yeah right, you wish” to him, then winks. Sam Kidsgrove: Other guys would do so much dumb shit to re-live their youth, to spend time fighting the natural justice of time and become increasingly desperate as the sand slowly flows through the hourglass undeterred, unnervingly smooth in its movement.I’m not above that, I really am not. So faced with desolation, being thrown to the scrap heap of retirement, having my very essence thrown away from an industry that is as competitive as it is brutal I decided to have my own little midlife crisis. I decided that I’m going to have my own reliving of past glories. I decided that I am not going to go out without a fight and I will spend the next 360 odd days fighting tooth and nail amongst every other guy or gal in the back there that has the stones to stand up to me and fight.So welcome to day 1. Here I am, Sam Kidsgrove, curtain jerker. Starting from the bottom of this roster with no entrance music, no merchandise, no special treatment and no fear of failing because god damn it I am too old, too cranky and too stubborn to admit defeat.Now let me tell you guys straight, face, heel, in this industry a lot goes off what you are and how you present yourself. You gotta have the right look and the right attitude at the right time. Here’s the thing though, I call that bullshit. I’m Sam Kidsgrove, I’m a good guy. I care about my family, I care about my fans, I care about what I do and I am proud of what I do.I’m also an asshole sometimes. You have to be to survive in this business. Some days I’m gonna be nice, some days I’m gonna want to rip someone’s throat out and use their esophagus as a jump rope. Some people are my closest friends, some people I will beat down within an inch of their life just to keep their shoulders to the mat for 3 seconds.I have to be ruthless, I will be ruthless. You guys are invited to come on a journey with me. Some of you will get off, some of you will stay with me all the way and you know what? That’s OK. Do how you feel. The end result is in 360 odd days I’ll either be gone from your hair or I’ll be sitting here with a new contract and I intend to be your world champion.Now, that being said, day 1 wouldn’t start without a good ol’ fashioned fight. So, even though I saw on Twitter Keeton said he fully intends to keep his feet up on his sofa and skip this out, presumably because he thinks, like those guys in the back, that I’m not worth the effort. Now I reckon he’s in the arena. So Keeton, get your dumb looking ass out here right now so I can punch you in the face.

Billy: Uh, maybe he’s not here after all.Kidsgrove looks at the stage and gestures in frustration. Sam Kidsgrove: What the hell is going on? Billy: Keeton didn’t have a very good Revolution. He was pinned in that very ring by Chris Page!Chris Avery: I’m sure Keeton isn’t too happy. He invited Page here and got beat on his home turf by the vet! Did he just do a pre-announced no show? Wow!Suddenly, Keeton’s pyro goes off again, this time creating a ton of smoke, and “Holy Diver” by Dio blares over the PA Billy: WHAT THE HELL?!As the smoke clears, a figure is clearly standing at center stage flooded by a singular spotlight. Chris Avery: IS THAT… IT IS! It’s Magic Maddox! Magic holds his cape up and wide open before enclosing himself in it, and suddenly the cape falls to the stage and Magic is nowhere to be seen. Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 198 pounds, he is MAGIC MADDOX!The spotlight moves down the ramp and into the ring where Magic is standing in the middle of the ring posing for the wildly impressed crowd. They both start to circle each other, Kidsgrove looking focused and Magic looks to be in a foul mood. Sam keeps putting his hands out but Magic keeps knocking them away. Kidsgrove suddenly grabs him and pulls him into a side headlock, wrenching on Magic’s neck. Magic tries to push him off but Sam keeps the grip tight before Magic finally manages to push him off into the ropes. Magic drops down as Kidsgrove skips over him, bouncing off the other ropes. He comes back and Magic leapfrogs over him and manages to catch Kidsgrove full in the face with a massive dropkick! Billy: What a dropkick!Magic gets to his knees and poses a bit as Kidsgrove shakes his head, rubbing his jaw. Magic slides over and pins Sam. ONE TWO Sam pops a shoulder up!

He goes for a cover. ONE TWO Sam kicks out again! Magic gets up with a foul look on his face and starts putting the boots to Kidsgrove as Zooey tries to give Sam support from the outside. Billy: It’s going to take a lot more than that to keep down Kidsgrove!Chris Avery: Magic obviously is a foul mood after Revolution!Magic has Sam up to his feet and whips him into the ropes but Kidsgrove comes back with a flying forearm that takes Magic down. Zooey applauds on the outside as Sam gets up, grabbing Magic’s head, pulling him to his feet before he gives him a knife edge chop that echoes across the arena, drawing a “WOOO” from the crowd. Magic clutches at his stinging chest and Sam nails him with a European uppercut that sends him stumbling back. Kidsgrove quickly closes the distance and grabs Magic, sending him up and over with a belly to belly suplex. Billy: Kidsgrove starting to gain momentum!Chris Avery: This is where he’s at his best.Kidsgrove’s behind Magic as he gets to his feet, nailing him with a forearm to the back before he launches him back over with a release German suplex that sees Magic landing on his stomach! Sam is fired up and stalks Magic as he gets to his feet before dropping him back down with a big DDT! Kidsgrove slides into a cover. ONE TWO Magic kicks out! Kidsgrove runs a hand through his hair and grabs J.C., pulling him back to his feet. Billy: Kidsgrove is not lettin’ up. He’s trying to stay on him.Chris Avery: Sam’s trying to show he’s still got a lot left in the tank, even at this stage in his career!Kidsgrove tries to go for a front facelock but Magic starts peppering him in the midsection with rights and lefts. Magic drives a knee into Sam’s stomach, causing the Hollywood leading man to double over. Magic double underhooks Sam and lifts him up and over, flinging him to the mat with a butterfly suplex. Kidsgrove rubs his back as he gets to his feet but Magic is on him, throwing forearms into the back of his neck, driving him back to down to one knee. Magic runs and bounces off the ropes before coming back to slam Kidsgrove face first into the mat with a leaping bulldog! Billy: Oh my gawd! Kidsgrove’s head just bounced off the mat!Chris Avery: Magic trying to get back on track here!Zooey slaps the mat from the outside, trying to rally Sam as Magic steps out onto the apron and starts to scale the turnbuckle. Magic stands up before leaping high into the air, coming down with a massive, impressive, frogsplash but Kidsgrove gets the knees up! Magic bounces across the ring, holding his stomach. Chris Avery: Magic just crashed and burned!Billy: His ribs have to be broken! Did you see the height he got on that frogsplash?!Sam goes over and puts some boots to Magic before lifting him up and dropping Magic into the mat with a brain buster! He goes for a cover and hooks the leg. ONE TWO THRE- no! Magic kicks out! Sam rubs a hand over his face and looks at the ref, asking if that was three. The ref shakes his head and Sam gets up, pulling Magic back to a vertical base and hits him with another European uppercut, and then another, and then another. Kidsgrove hooks him up for a vertical suplex, but Magic pushes him off and nails him with a leaping knee that sees Sam stumble into the corner. Magic runs at him, but Kidsgrove sidesteps him and sends into shoulder first into the turnbuckle! Magic stumbles out of the corner and Kidsgrove grabs him, dropping him into the mat with a huge high angle side suplex that drops Magic across his head and neck. Zooey applauds Sam from the outside as Magic wisely rolls out of the ring to try and regain his bearings.

Sam comes flying out between the ropes for a suicide dive but Magic times it perfectly and leaps, nailing Kidsgrove with a massive dropkick! Kidsgrove lands hard and awkward on the mats outside! Zooey has her hands over her face in obvious concern for just what happened. Billy: SHITFIRE! I think Kidsgrove is dead!Chris Avery: Magic connected full on with that dropkick!The crowd is going absolutely crazy for that move as they both are down on the outside. The ref can’t believe what he saw, not starting the count. Magic finally gets up and grabs Kidsgrove, trying to pull him up and get him into the ring. Magic manages to roll him into the ring and he slides in going for a cover. ONE TWO THREE! NO! Kidsgrove kicks out and the crowd explodes! Zooey has her hand on heart on the outside as Magic gets up and is arguing with the referee. Billy: SHITFIRE! HOW DID SAM KIDSGROVE KICK OUT?!?!Chris Avery: WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS OVER BILLY!!!Magic is absolutely losing his mind as the ref keeps pointing to his shirt and not backing down in the face of the angry star. Magic is torn from his argument though as Kidsgrove rolls him up with a school boy! ONE TWO THREE! NO! Magic kicks out! He rolls back to his feet and ducks as Kidsgrove runs in for a lariat. Sam stops and turns around as Magic goes for another dropkick but Kidsgrove ducks it this time. Magic lands hard on his side on the mat. Magic starts to push himself up but Kidsgrove drops him back to the mat with a bulldog. Sam is fired up as he pulls Magic to his feet and flings him into the corner. Kidsgrove backs up into the opposite corner and runs in to deliver a Take 2, but Magic rolls out of the way and Sam winds up in a precarious position with his leg hooked over the top rope. Magic is quick to take advantage and leaps up to drop Kidsgrove right on the back of his neck with a leaping neck breaker, except no! Kidsgrove lands on his feet and rushes at Magic and CRUSHES him with a BOX OFFICE SMASH!! Billy: OH! THATS IT!Chris Avery: This might be elementary at this point!

Jonny Cedrone Is Here!
Billy: Ladies and gentlemen, obviously this night is all about showcasing all of the rivalries within Action Wrestling. The one we’re about to showcase has spanned a couple of years and two different organizations.Chris Avery: The bad blood between Jonny Cedrone and Zolton makes the bad blood between the Democrats and Republicans look like a game of pat-a-cake Billy!Billy: Well…you have the age thing right with the latter of that contrast but I digress! This war started in a different organization but it finishes right here in Action Wrestling!Chris Avery: The question is: will it end here tonight?Billy: If I were a bettin’ man Chris, I would say that this feud is FAR from over!Chris Avery: I guess that remains to be seen but given everything that we’ve seen thus far between these two, I’d have to agree with you Billy! We may NEVER see this feud end!Billy: Same very coarse words have been thrown around between the two for weeks now. In the back we have Jade Riley with one of the combatants in this war Jonny Cedrone. Take it away Jade!The fans erupt in cheers as the scene cuts to the backstage area where we see Jade Riley standing in between Jonny Cerdrone and his lovely wife Gloria. Jade Riley: Thank you Billy and Chris! Jonny, what a showing you made at Revolution 5! Unfortunately for you though you didn’t get the win.Jonny Cedrone: No, I didn’t. I was within striking distance then I got struck by Miss Blake. Miss Blake came out of Revolution 5 with the win. She brought everything she had. Took everything she was given and stumbled away still holding the Championship. She’s tough! Very tough!!Jade Riley: Another competitor in that fight, Zolton, keeps proving that he’s as tough as they come as well! At Revolution 5 you had Zolton poised to get that win. How did that feel to have your rival, your opponent for tonight, poised for defeat?Jonny Cedrone: I mean it felt great! For one brief moment I was able to take all of his “better than you” rhetoric and shove it all up his ass!Loud cheers from the fans Jonny Cedrone: It’s actually ironic. Have you noticed his social media lately? He actually had the gall to post a picture of him posing with an “F Your Ego” shirt, while in the same breath he talks about how much better he is than…well…pretty much anybody and everybody.I’ve been doing this for a long time now Miss Riley. If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone tell me that I need to leave because I’m just not that good, or that my career is about to come to an end because I’m just not that good…I could pay off the United States’ deficit.Jonny turns his attention solely to the camera Jonny Cedrone: Zolton, you’re all the time saying how you ARE chaos, and that you ARE rage, and that you ARE rage filled chaos, and you ARE chaotic rage as if it’s supposed to intimidate us all. In reality though, what has it proven so far? Nothing but a few missed opportunities to stake your name in the annals of Action Wrestling as the best there’s ever been. Opportunities that you can’t get back. Then you blamed others for your missed opportunities. Well who are you gonna blame for your missed opportunity here tonight Zolton? Who are you gonna blame for your loss to a “guy that doesn’t belong”?I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long now. The chance to get my revenge on you for all of the nonsensical and putrid lies that you’ve spread about me. The chance to get my revenge on your ego. For too long you’ve falsely believed that you’re better than me and tonight I get to prove you wrong once and for all! You like to lay claim to a Championship of a defunct company and be boastful about it, but when I boast about my past accomplishments, I’m living in the past. So let’s be honest here Zolton…are we truly all that different? I mean in the ring at least. We’re both former World Champions. We both have past accomplishments that we’re so proud of. And I know you won’t admit to it, but I just proved to you and Miss Blake and the rest of the locker room of Action Wrestling that I can and will hold my own in the trenches no matter what style you throw me in Zolton.So in knowing all that, and knowing that I had you beat at Revolution 5 and knowing that I’m much better and much tougher than you wanna give me credit for, and knowing that I’m every bit as good as I say that I am, and knowing that we’re not that much different in the ring….answer this Zolton; are you as good as you think you are? Are you as tough as you think you are? Are you truly able to defeat me like you want to insinuate is so easy to do?I guess we’ll find out in a few minutes won’t we Zolton? The two of us are about to go to war! Just do yourself a favor and don’t believe your own hype because I’m going absolutely nowhere my friend. You’re stuck with me for as long as there’s breath in my body. And…yeah…I know…at your hands there will be no more breath in my body…yadda yadda yadda and all that…more of your rhetoric Z. Again, with you….more words…just words…with me…in that ring? My actions will speak much louder and much harder than your words. And tonight, I get my payback!The fans cheer than just when Jade pulls the microphone away from Jonny, Gloria pulls it over to herself Gloria Cedrone: Tonight he gets OUR payback Zolton. You poor excuse of a man! You think you can go around for this long and spread such ugly lies about someone and be proud of the fact that you almost drove a wedge in such a wonderful and beautiful marriage such as ours? You got another thing coming! Tonight you’ll pay for those transgressions come hell or high water Zolton!The fans cheer once again and the scene fades to commercials as Gloria stands there with a stern grimace and Jonny sports a bit of a mischievous grin.

Gerard and GRINDHOUSE Arrive!
A hummer limo pulls up outside the arena and the doors open. Gerard Angelo, Holden Ross, and Joey Scala step out to a chorus of boos from the live audience. They start walking towards the locker room area when Jade Riley appears in the camera shot with a mic. Jade Riley: Gerard! Grindhouse! Do you have some words about what happened at Revolution last week?The three men stop and Gerard turns with a grin. Gerard Angelo: Aren’t you the diligent little reporter? Well, I’ll indulge you tonight, Jade. You see, what happened at Revolution 5 was a complete and utter sham. The rules were changed before the match. CJ somehow got the door eliminated from the cage because he was afraid of the Living Legend. So my friends here-Gerry gestures to Ross and Scala. Gerard Angelo: - let him know that karma is a bitch.Jade Riley: What brought about your alliance with Grindhouse?Gerry smirks. Gerard Angelo: It’s very simple. It’s a business arrangement. Grindhouse likes money, Gerard Angelo has A LOT of money. Grindhouse likes to beat people up, I have people that need to get beat up. Grindhouse is a force of nature, destroying everything in their path. And this is how everyone views them. As utter chaos. But I see them as a weapon. A weapon that needs a strong, guiding, hand to forge it. I am the smith that will forge. I am the whetstone that will grind, no pun intended, them down into the great sword that I know they can be. Look at them. Aligned with me for a short time and they’re already the number one contenders for the tag titles. They are the sword that will crack the shield of Vanguard. And Pheonix hasn’t seen the last of me, Jade.Angelo smirks again. Gerard Angelo: But we do need to do something about these clothes boys!Gerard claps Scala and Ross on the shoulders and they start to walk off with Angelo telling them about going to see his personal tailor.

Kyrie King vs. Holden Ross
We come back to Monday Night Clash and Kyrie King is in the ring as his music just fades out. He stretches his wrists and neck and he's prepared! Billy: King been on a backslide as of late after losing that Television Championship!Air raid sirens begin their cries of warning as the arena is plunged into darkness. As they reach their crescendo, and begin their fall, a single spotlight cuts through the dark, illuminating Holden who is standing statuesque, just this side of the threshold of the entrance curtain. Chris Avery: There he is! The Human Wrecking Ball!Billy: Those sirens are appropriate… Holden Ross along with his Grindhouse teammate are the #1 contenders to the Tag Team Championships!Chris Avery: And then they helped Gerard Angelo beat up CJ Phoenix after the United States Championship match!Billy: Holden Ross is not a man to cross!Just like their signal of warning in the real World, in A.W. they are a warning that the “Bastard” is making his way to the ring. When the spotlight first shines on him, he has his head down, chin on his chest and his eyes closed. The sirens begin winding up their pitch for the second round of screaming. He lifts his head and his face is void of emotion, his eyes black pools of nothing, similar to a great white's eyes. Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring; standing at six feet, five inches tall and weighing in at just over three hundred pounds! He hails from San Luis Obispo! He is “The Bastard!” Hoooooldennnnnnnn RRRRRRRRRRoosssssssss! The sirens are relentless as he strolls down to the ring. He takes his time climbing the ring steps and wipes his feet before entering the ring. When the referee attempts to check him for contraband, Holden gently pushes him away and leans into his corner, apparently bored. DING DING DING King charges across the ring but Ross catches him and just PLANTS his ass with a powerbomb in the middle of the ring! Billy: OHHHH MY WHAT A POWERBOMB!King is lifted right back to his feet and Holden Ross lifts him up and smashes him down with a Dominator! Billy: THE BASTARDIZED!!Chris Avery: THE BIG BASTARD WITH A BIG DEVASTATING MOVE RIGHT THERE!King is out but Holden Ross just picks him up, dead weight lifts him.. and smashes him down with another dominator! Billy: ANOTHER BASTARDIZED!!King is out and the official is telling Holden Ross to just pin but Ross yells out for Vanguard to watch this and picks up King in a dead-lift another time and smashes him with another Dominator! Chris Avery: OH MY GOD!!Billy: HE HAS TO STOP!!Holden paces back and forth as the official checks on King who is not moving in the middle of the ring.. Holden picks him up into another dead-lift and smashes him down with another DOMINATOR! Billy: OOHH SHITFIRE!! THIS MAN HAS TO STOP!!Chris Avery: KING IS OUT!!DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING Billy: THE OFFICIAL IS SAYING ITS A TKO!! HOLDEN ROSS JUST WON BY KNOCKING KING OUT!Holden isn't done and just dead-lifts King back up to his feet and hits a GONZO BOMB!! Billy: GONZO BOMB FOR ADDED MEASURE!! GOD DAMN!!Chris Avery: MY GOD!!Holden Ross plants a foot on Kings chest and claps his hands together.. One. Two. Three. Holden smiles as his music hits.. Billy: MAKING A STATEMENT TONIGHT!Chris Avery: ABSOLUTELY! VANGUARD NEED TO BE ON WATCH WITH HOLDEN ROSS DOING HEAVY DAMAGE TO KYRIE KING RIGHT HERE ON CLASH!Billy: AN INSANE DISPLAY OF STRENGTH AND DOMINANCE FROM HOLDEN ROSS!More officials come down and check on King as Holden Ross is smiling on the ramp. We fade to a commercial.

Max Daemon Is Here......Live Via Satellite!
The Fiserv Forum is murmuring to themselves, making noise as they prepare for the next bit of action to take place. The noise suddenly becomes boos when the ActionTron lights up and we see Max Daemon. He is sitting in front of a professional camera in an obvious stage of some sort, though there's no sign of AW logos or any other regular AW staff. The "Live Via Satellite" seen in the top left corner says more than words. Max smirks at the crowd's reaction. Max Daemon: Ladies and gentlemen of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I hope you're not too offended that I didn't want ta' step inta' the city if I could avoid it. Which I could. And I did.Oh cool, cheap heat, let the boos rise. Max Daemon: Nah, instead I'm in Mexico City, representin Action Wrestling in the only way it deserves. So, unfortunately, I was unable to make it ta' Clash. I just wanted to let the world know--and more specifically, one man--that I'm calling him out.Max drops the smirk, staring deeper into the camera with intent. Max Daemon: Conor McGregor.The name alone gets the fans to do a 180, cheering wildly for the famous MMA man. Max Daemon: I don't care if you're watchin this or if ya' have some agent or manager givin ya' the info, but ya' made an impression at Revolution. You claim apathy, but I know you. You're in this for the money, just like I am. But, I hope my shoe put the wrath of God in ya', because if ya' think you'll be able to run away when we're in the cage, than don't worry, you'll be gettin the wrath of God put on ya'. By me.The crowd starts to boo once more. Max Daemon: I'm sure you're a busy man. Hell, I am too. And in two weeks we'll have the official weigh-in, the first time we'll be in the same room since Revolution. We're gonna have media there, paparazzi, my guys, your guys, Dana, Pasta Mack. But the problem is...I don't wanna wait until March 5 to kick your ass. So we'll have the weigh-in...we'll play nice...but how about the week after, on Clash...the two of us have a little talk? You show up ta' Monday Night Clash, February 28. We meet in that ring, one-on-one. No security, no bodyguards, no entourage. Just two men meetin in MY ring. Or...Max wipes his mouth, hiding a chuckle poorly. Max Daemon:...are you too much of a pussy ta' step into the ring with a "fookin wrestler"?This gets the crowd to "oooh" and boo at the mocking accent. Max Daemon: I'll be waitin Conor.

Vanguard Talks Shop
Scene switches backstage to show Downfall inside of a locker room, wearing workout gear, his hands wrapped with rapidly-degrading tape, as he is busy landing shot after bone-crunching shot into the concrete wall. He doesn't wince as he lets the hit come, just ratchets his arm backwards with machine-like torsion, and lets it fly forward. His knuckles are starting to bruise and bleed, but he stares stoically ahead. Suddenly, the locker room door opens, and Dionysus comes in, wearing a suit. Dionysus: Daniel, Daniel, come on, man. Stop this shit, I know you're upset about Revolution, but you can't take it out on yourself.Downfall doesn't meet his gaze, but instead stares down at his hands. He flexes his fingers, assuring that they still work, even though the tape is hanging off and blood drips from his right middle knuckle. He squeezes his hands into fists. Downfall: I'm not... but I am contemplating murder, and bracing myself with some slight masochism is just enough to make me hold back from running off and strangling Richard Divito to death.Dionysus: I see... so this is you counting to ten, then?Downfall inhales, closes his eyes, and breathes out. When he looks up at Dion, his look is severe. Downfall: I know that I got too cocky, took my eye off the ball. But, on the other hand, it took the rampant interference of Affluenza, Empire Business, us hitting the wrong target and Dandy pinning Regan.Dionysus: Well gee, Downfall, why not just grow a few more eyes around your head? Come on; you and I both know how chaotic the title scene has been, I had a bad feeling it was only a matter of time before things became too chaotic for us to be able to contain it, y'know?Downfall shakes his head. Downfall: I'm not ready to let it end like that. If Dandy can go whine until he's added to not one but two title matches, then I'm damn sure owed a rematch.Dionysus: Damn right you are. I don't think anyone out there thinks otherwise. Just...you know, slide a shot my way, yeah?Downfall eyes him impatiently. Downfall: I know, Dion. I know that you've been pushing hard to get your shot at the World Heavyweight title too. Dammit, I support you, the entire reason we are the Vanguard is because this was about both of us boosting each other to the main event level. You're in this, because you've been having my back and having your dealings with Affluenza and Empire Business on your own. And if the time comes, you deserve your shot, too.Dion picks up one half of the Tag title belts laying on the locker room bench and holds it out to Downfall, signifying they're still a team, despite the miscommunications. Dionysus: No matter what, we still have something to fight for. We've dealt with Dangerous Gentlemen. We've dealt with Philidor. We can overcome this too.Downfall holds the Tag title belt in his busted hands, and stares at it. Dionysus walks out of the room. Downfall looks from the Tag belt, and then, he looks off camera, staring coldly and obviously thinking about doing some harm, as the scene switches back to ringside.

Mason Jones Segment
Gods Plan hits and Mason Jones walks through the curtain to a chorus of cheers and boos. Mason knows he's not exactly making any friends as of late, but the true diehard fans still love him. Jones walks down the ramp towards the ring! Billy: And here comes Mason Jones, who as of late has been in quite the streak of hardcore matches and violence!Chris Avery: Ever since he was frustrated and mad at Jayson Price last month, he's been in quite the anger-fueled streak, you are correct!Mason gets into the ring and grabs a microphone as the crowd quiets down and his music fades away. Mason Jones: Last weekend, I competed in the Roth 3 tournament on the independent scene where we saw huge superstars like Corey Black, Lissie Hope, Max Daemon and myself take on a lot of indie stars. I was successful in the first round and god damn did it feel great to get a win in that tournament!
The crowd cheers for his success.
Mason Jones: There was some other known stars in that tournament like Matt Knox and El Diablo something or another, but my point is, I was battle tested once again and I came through on the other side! As of late I've been put through a flaming table, lit on fire, thrown off the ramp, I've been put through other tables, landed on thumbtacks, smashed my skull in with chairs, and I've bled almost every week and let me tell you..
He takes a beat as he looks around..
Mason Jones: IM NOT DONE YET!
The crowd cheers.
Mason Jones: I hear pitiful little Sam Kidsgrove coming out here talking about how he has to go back to his roots and start from the bottom, I see Odin having trouble with his hands, talking to himself, I see John Black no selling everything under the sun, I see Champions complaining about their placement on the cards like they're STRUGGLING, well guess what, they're not.
The real struggle is me holding back my fists from sucker punching all the haters in the head and not kicking every one of their asses up and down this arena!
The crowd fires off with a good pop!
Mason Jones: I've asked, I've begged for advice and praise from my best friend, Jayson Price but he won't give me attention. And ya know what? Fine.. I'll do things MY way. Jayson Price was the best at hardcore street fight bullshit, so maybe I follow in his footsteps and do it ONE better!
It's time for Mason Jones to get his praise, it's time for Mason Jones to get his god damn FLOWERS!
THIS IS MY TIME!
AND MY TIME IS NOW!
Mason throws the microphone down as he fires up to another good pop. His music hits as he poses one time to the crowd, nodding with them.
Billy: Wow! Mason Jones with a few statements being made here tonight!
Chris Avery: He has to back it up in the ring, Billy, and he's looking forward to doing that.. and so am I!
Billy: We'll be right back on Monday Night Clash!
We fade to a commercial.

Anything Goes Jonny Cedrone vs. Zolton
The arena goes pitch black as the audience are abuzz with excitement, then the jumbotron and the PA system comes to life as white strobe lights flicker with the be riffs of the guitars and beats of the drums of the opening moments of “Now That We’re Dead” by Metallica. The fans erupt into loud, almost deafening cheers because they know who’s about to make their appearances. First through the curtain comes his wife, Gloria with a huge grin on her face. The fans in attendance, especially the guys, go completely nuts at the sight of the lovely Gloria. She stops at the top of the ramp, turns and points towards the curtains and almost as if on cue, out comes “The King of Sexy” Jonny Cedrone sending the fans into such a frenzy that they almost blow the roof of the place. Jonny stands at the top of the stage for a moment, looking out at the crowd, soaking it all in. With smiles on their faces they make their way down the aisle, slapping some of the outstretched hands of the fans along the way. Once they reach the ring, Cedrone holds Gloria’s hand as she walks up the steel steps and walks along the ring apron. Jonny hops up onto the apron, stands on the bottom rope and pulls up on the middle rope to let his wife into the ring. Jonny follows suit, wipes his feet and makes his way into the ring. Once inside, Jonny climbs each turnbuckle and plays to the crowd as Gloria follows him around, smiling, applauding and waving to the crowd. Once he’s done, Cedrone hops down from the final turnbuckle where he and Gloria talk a little bit as he waits for the match to begin. Billy: And this is an all out, Anything Goes match!Chris Avery: These two have been competing and feuding for a while across many cities, states, and even companies!Billy: But it has a chance to end here tonight!The arena darkens as the "F8" by Five Finger Death Punch plays. The peak of the song is reached and the arena begins to flash almost as though an electrical surge flows through the arena. "F8" bleeds into "Rise Cover" by State of MINE and a blue spot light shines on the stage as it is covered with smoke/mist. A moment passes and into the spotlight stands Zolton facing away from the ring. His head lowered, hair silhouetting his face. The chorus flows from "Rise Cover" and he turns and walks down the ramp way. BUT THE MUSIC STOPS AND THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON AS CEDRONE IS HITTING RIGHT HANDS ON THE RAMP!! DING DING DING Billy: AND HERE WE GO!!Cedrone whips Zolton into the ring apron! Cedrone charges at him but Zolton picks him up and he lands on the apron and Cedrone kicks Zolton in the head! Cedrone runs and hits a clothesline finally taking Zolton down! Cedrone kneels over Zolton and just hits rabbit punches to the forehead and keeps going! Zolton shoves Cedrone off and tries to get up.. Billy: This is already intense!Cedrone pulls out a 2x4 piece of wood out from under the ring and Zolton turns around as Cedrone smashes it into the stomach of Zolton! Zolton keels over and Cedrone BREAKS the piece of lumber over the back of Zolton! Billy: MY GOD!Cedrone looks under the ring once again and pulls out a big ol' ladder. The crowd pops as Cedrone takes the ladder and smashes it into the head of Zolton! He takes the ladder and slides it into the ring! Cedrone turns back around and Zolton hits a clothesline on Cedrone knocking him down! Zolton picks up Cedrone as he's trying to get up and Zolton whips him into the ring post knocking him back down, crashing down to the mats! Cedrone spins around and gets to his feet and Zolton hits a running boot to the head of Cedrone knocking him back flying into the air on top of the announcers table and into the laps of Billy and Chris Avery! Billy: And-The sound cuts out from Billy and Chris as Cedrone lands at their feet. He crawls out from behind the announcers table as the announcers try to get their headsets back and Zolton stalks him with a kick to his back pushing him back down! Cedrone gets back to his feet and Zolton hits another boot knocking him down! Zolton picks up Cedrone by his head and pulls him in closer and then flips him up into the air.. he turns.. AND POWERBOMBS CEDRONE THROUGH THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE!! The crowd erupts with the man of chaos delivering one sick fucking powerbomb. Zolton stumbles back and takes a breather on the apron holding his ribs from that lumber shot earlier. He reaches down and pulls out a table from underneath the ring.. Billy: This thing on?!Chris Avery: We can hear ya!Billy: Zolton grabbing another table?!Chris Avery: CEDRONE IS OUT RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US!Zolton picks up the table and slides it into the ring and turns around and realizes Cedrone trying to get to his feet.. Zolton grabs Cedrone and picks him up and tries to run him into the ring post but Cedrone gets out of it and shoves Zolton into the ring post!! Billy: What a reversal!Zolton stumbles into the railing as Cedrone comes charging at him and hits a spear crashing him into the hard railing! It doesn't bend nor break and Zolton and Cedrone just lay out on the mats! Billy: God damn, what an impact!Cedrone crawls over to the ring apron and rolls into the ring and grabs at the table. As he sets up the table in the middle of the ring, Zolton kicks at the steel steps and breaks them apart! Zolton picks up the steel steps and smashes them into the head of Cedrone who was poking his head through the ropes! Billy: OH HOLY SHIT!Cedrone falls back into the ring as Zolton slides the steel steps into the ring! Zolton rolls in after his steps and gets into the ring. Zolton picks up the steel steps and sets them up in the ring and picks up Cedrone.. Cedrone hits an uppercut! CEDRONE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND HITS A DIAMOND CUTTER ON ZOLTON ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!! Billy: OHHH MY GOD!! THE ACE IN THE HOLE!!Chris Avery: RIGHT ON THE UNFORGIVING STEEL!!Cedrone and Zolton both slide and collapse off the steel steps.. Zolton holding his ribs.. and Cedrone holding his back.. Billy: Both of these two just throwing everything they have at each other!Chris Avery: This is insane!Cedrone rolls under the table and gets to the tall ladder and kneels up. He grabs the ladder and starts to set it up as he stands on his feet. Cedrone moves the ladder to the corner turnbuckles and its standing at least 15-20 feet tall. Cedrone turns around and Zolton is kneeling up and Cedrone hits a running bicycle knee to the head of Zolton!! Billy: OHH!!Chris Avery: YOU COULD HEAR THE SMASHING SHOT WAY UP IN THE RAFTERS!Cedrone drops down and picks up Zolton and stumbles him over to the table and lays Zolton on the table... The crowd rises to their feet as Cedrone walks around the table to the ladder as Zolton is laid out on the table inside the ring.. Billy: Where is he going!?Cedrone starts climbing up the ladder and the crowd is going crazy! Chris Avery: Get down from there! Thats at least 20 feet in the air!Billy: Just about!Cedrone climbs to the second to the last rung and turns around facing Zolton down on the table below him.. Cedrone takes one step back up on top of the very tippy top rung.. Billy: OH MY GOD!! JONNY CEDRONE!! 20 FEET IN THE AIR!!Chris Avery: DONT DO IT, BUD!!Zolton laid out on the table below in the middle of the ring.. Cedrone on top of the ladder... CEDRONE JUMPS FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER!! Billy: HOLYGODSHITFIREEEE!!CEDRONE SMASHES THROUGH THE TABLE.. ZOLTON ROLLED OFF JUST IN TIME!! Chris Avery: OH MY GOD!! CEDRONE JUST SMASHED THROUGH THE TABLE!!Cedrone is trying to push himself up but Zolton grabs him.. and just picks him up into his signature crucifix powerbomb! Billy: WELCOME TO THE GATES!!ONE!!

Steve Bentley Unlimited ...
There is a knock on the door as we see Alexander Pasternak in his office. He looks back to see Steve Bentley walking into his office. Alexander Pasternak: Oh, yes sir!Steve Bentley: Thanks for seeing me, I hope you have the documents I was requesting.Alexander Pasternak: I do! Here ya are..Pasternak reaches back and grabs a yellow envelope and hands it over to Bentley. Alexander Pasternak: You sure about this?Steve Bentley: I absolutely, am. I don't have much patients. Pasternak smiles and nods as Bentley leaves the office. We follow Bentley outside of the office down a hallway, where he makes a few turns. He finally reaches a parking garage where the camera turns and we see Scott David and Mike Wheeler. They're on crutches, David is in a neck brace while Wheeler has an arm in a sling, crutches, and he's sipping water while coughing. They look crushed lol. Steve Bentley: Got the documents, I requested!Mike Wheeler: Nice! AHEMAEHAMEHAM. Steve Bentley: You alright?Mike Wheeler: Yeah! Crushed ribs is all! Anyways, this our raise? Our guaranteed Tag Team Championship match?Steve Bentley: Right. I had you guys meet here, because in this envelope is your contracts. You're released.The crowd cheers as they spit out water.

What now?!Billy: He's a billionaire, Chris, I'm not sure anyone can stop him!We fade to a commercial.

JUST ANNOUNCED: #1 CONTENDER TO THE TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Claire Hawkins vs. Odin Balfore Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first. He weighs in at 400 lbs... THE ALL-FATHER... ODIN BALFORE!Billy: Wait a minute! She's pregnant! Ain't there some doctors orders that say that announcing wrestling matches is bad for the baby's health?Chris Avery: Literally no medical advice ever published says that.“ With Oden On Our Side” Hit’s the PA system. The arena grows dark as the fans get to their feet to catch a glimpse of the stage. The fans stand and cheer an once the vocals starts, the arena lights flash back on and there stands Odin Balfore, centre stage. Odin stares down at the ring with a sinister grin as the fans sing along with the chorus. Crowd: Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... the battle is.. already won!Crowd: Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... the battle is.. already won!The fans pop insanely right after as Odin begins to walk down the ramp at a slow an methodical pace. Once he gets to the foot of the ring, he steps up on it and looks around the arena again before stepping over the ropes.. Crowd: Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist...Odin cuts off the fans as he raises his hand in triumph. Odin turns back to the ring as the fans finish their part. Crowd: The battle is.. already won!Odin stares down his opponent as he waits for the match to get underway. Adilene Floyd: And his opponent...As the world falls; wider grows disaster's mawDesperate the thralls call;thee three crows cawAs those words faded to black, a shrill Banshee’s Wail rang out through the stadium and everything went as dark as it possibly could. A moment later, the beginnings of Orbit Culture’s Nensha began to play; a light layer of smoke appeared upon the stage as the lights began to frantically flash in sync with the music. As the music increased in pace, so did the flashing of the lights; a silhouette of a person appearing upon the stage, hunched forward. PICK UP THE BONES!Abruptly, the lights return to normal in time to see the person lean backward and release a deep guttural scream upwards to the heavens from parted lips painted black. Upon finishing the guttural growl, the person titled their head down and fixated their fiery crimson gaze upon the ring; the Action Wrestling crowd letting out a sizable pop. With skin as pale as porcelain and clearly dressed to compete within the squared circle, the person was none other than the Witch of Action Wrestling; Claire Hawkins! Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 145 pounds, she is......... "The Witch".....CLAIRE.....HAWKINS!!Once she reached the ringside area Claire paused for a moment to look at the cameraman that had dared to get close enough to get a good shot of her face. With a vicious snarl, Claire let out another one of those screams and forced the cameraman to quickly backpedal. Feeling pleased with herself, Claire made her way over to the steps and into the ring. Once she was in the ring she walked to the side of the ring where the hard camera was and stepped onto the second rope, leaned forward a little to keep her balance, and held her arms up while she held up in the "Devil Horns" gesture as pyro shot up from the ring posts. All the while bellowing out that same savage, guttural scream. Chris Avery: Claire has been picking up some big victories lately as she's defended her CBS All-Access Championship... but tonight might be one of her bigger tests, as she gives up a LOT of size and strength to the massive All-Father!Billy: Claire been on a roll lately, especially with her big win over Max at Revolution! But ol' Odin gonna try and make it a Steam roll tonight!Claire taunts Odin immediately after the bell rings, but Odin is not aggravated by her gestures. She beckons for him to make the first move, but Odin takes a step back and seems eager to allow Claire to initiate the start of the match. Chris Avery: Amazingly, Claire is not intimidated in the slightest!Billy: If she just uses her wicca hoodoo maybe she can curse him and make his balls shrivel!!Claire feigns a kick, which Odin flinches at to produce a blockade in front of his face with his hands. Claire quickly dives at Odin and dropkicks the leg of Odin. The giant All-Father is struck, but simply hops on one leg, able to keep his balance. Claire grabs Odin as she gets back up to her feet and goes for a side Russian leg sweep, but Odin elbows the side of her head once, but misses the second as Claire plants Odin, the back of his head smacking against the mat. Claire is back up, delivering a series of knee drops to the chest of All-Father Odin before following up with a standing senton on Odin. The cover... is kicked out of before it starts. Odin isn't even winded as he brings his bulk back to an upright position. Finally, Odin takes a step towards Claire and swings a punch, but it is blocked by Claire’s arm with great speed. Claire kicks Odin in the thigh, causing him to stumble a little before Claire connects with a right hand to Claire’s face, but the angry Odin suddenly surges forward with a lariat, knocking Claire off her feet. Claire quickly rolls back up and narrowly misses the head of Odin with a low roundhouse kick, as he ducks under it, but Claire turns in a complete circle and blasts Odin with a roaring elbow strike instead. Odin totters back on to one knee. Chris Avery: Look at Claire using her speed and agility!Claire lifts Odin up, but she has a hard time moving the more massive Odin. She lifts Odin up, clubbing him over the back, then she applies a rear chinlock with a knee in his back. Odin flails his arms and yells and shouts in anger more than pain. The ref asks if he gives up, but Odin refuses. Odin begins shaking with adrenaline. He begins pushing himself up. He gets to one knee, then up to his feet, and then he begins throwing elbows at Claire, who is still hanging on. Odin throws elbows until Claire releases the hold. Odin turns around, and Claire rakes his eyes. Odin staggers away, yelling in pain. Claire runs off the ropes, looking for another move, but Odin catches the metal witch on his shoulders and absolutely flattens her with a Samoan drop! Billy: Scrape Claire up with a spatula!Claire arches her back as she rolls around, in pain on the mat. Odin gets to his feet, and the crowd is firmly behind him. He lays a few clubs in the small of the back and goes to irish whiphis much smaller opponent. He throws her in the corner, then tries to charge in for a splash with the force of an inbound train. But at the last second Claire slips between the ropes so that he hits the turnbuckle, then brings her leg around the rope with a kick to the temple as he stumbles back. The crowd roars at this split second reversal! Odin falls back and turns around but Claire has scrambled to the top rope and then she comes off with a diving leg lariat that takes her opponent fully off his feet. Claire does an amateur floatover the back, and picks the leg of Odin , rolling backwards to wrap his own legs around one of the gargantuan legs of the near four hundred pounder, before taking him down with a legscissor takedown. Odin is flat on his back, but Claire still has her legs wrapped around Odin’s massive trunk as she applies a modified scissored anklelock. Odin squawks in pain as Claire yanks away at the ankle with one hand, whilst pinning Odin’s other leg between her arm and side. Odin tries to prise his leg free, finally able to slip the foot away before driving the sole of his foot right into the face of Claire, knocking her silly. Chris Avery: Odin has been showing a more vicious side ever since management embarrassed him late last year. He's been on an absolute tear.Billy: Let's hope Claire didn't just make him 'tear' a quad!Odin gingerly starts getting back up to his feet. Claire doesn’t let that kick to the face keep her down for very long. She quickly pushes herself back up to her feet. Claire runs at Odin , springing into the air and wrapping his arms around Odin’s head. Odin tries to counter, but the momentum sends Odin spinning 180 degrees before Claire jerks the big man’s head downwards, hitting a tornado DDT! She covers... One... Kickout, with authority. Chris Avery: A fast pace to this match with Claire assuming control early on.Billy: No surprise there.Chris Avery: Claire may have the aggressive edge, but Odin’s strength and mass form a very strong form of defense, almost armor against her attacks. If this turns into a battle of stamina, I would say that Odin will have the advantage.Billy: You really should think before you speak, because what you’re saying is a load of garbage!Claire is quickly back to her feet, undeterred by the early kickout. She waits for Odin to begin sitting up again, hitting a quick field goal kick to the spine just as Odin sits back up. Claire continues the assault with more strikes with her knees followed by a kick to the side of the head. Odin rolls onto his front, trying to shake the cobwebs and get back up to his feet. Claire runs at the ropes and jumps onto the middle one, springing back at Odin and wraps her legs around his head. She spins around Odin, but Odin refuses to go down. Odin continues to spin around and around in a circle, using the momentum to lifts Claire up onto his shoulders before drilling her into the ground with a spiral powerbomb! Chris Avery: What a counter!Odin looks a little dizzy, stumbling slightly as he gets back up to his feet. He hits a couple of foot stomps to the torso of Claire, before placing his foot across her ribcage and stepping onto her. The super-heavyweight is standing on top of Claire, who struggles to breath due to the sheer weight on top of her. Eventually, Odin steps off Claire and turns to face her, before jumping up and crashing down on top of her with an elbow drop to the chest! Shoulders are down. Chris Avery: Claire has been engulfed!!Billy: That is a lot of mass to be buried under. Apropos of nothing, my favorite Stevie Nicks song popped into my head, "Landslide".Chris Avery: That was low hanging fruit there.One... Two... And a kickout from Claire. Odin goes to grab Claire by the head, but Claire rolls her legs up over her chest and boots Odin right in the face. Odin stumbles backwards into the ropes as Claire gets back up, but Odin surges forward and swings a clothesline. Claire ducks underneath it as Odin runs at the opposite ropes, rebounding from them and going for a flying forearm. Claire is almost flattened, but is able to duck at the last minute. Odin sails over the top of her and crashes to the mat. Claire has to thank all her lucky stars she just avoided the collision with the mack truck that just flew at her and she takes some heaping lungfuls of air, scarred and traumatized. But then she looks up, and sees her moment coming. Slightly winded, Odin gets back up to his feet holding his chest, but Claire takes him down with a flying double knee press, a la Sasha Banks! Claire rolls off top of him. Odin remains grounded as Claire is back up to her feet. She heads for the turnbuckle, quickly ascending it. She checks Odin’s position in the ring and dives with a moonsault. It connects, hitting its mark! Billy: Claire’s got him! She is bringing the fight right to the big man, this is amazing!!Chris Avery: I think Claire is making believers out of many of the people in the crowd.One... Two... Kickout! Billy: What? Come on ref, judge your time right! That was THREE!Chris Avery: Not according to the official! The match continues.Claire does not look overly surprised that Odin managed to kick out, but gives him a punch to the face for good measure. She picks up Odin and shoves him backwards into the turnbuckle, unloading with various karate kicks that strike Odin all over his body, from his thighs right up to his head. Claire climbs between the ropes and goes up top once again, grabbing Odin in a headlock before diving from the top rope with a diving nckbreaker, drilling Odin’s head into the mat at the same time. Claire with another cover… One… Two… Odin get his foot on the bottom rope. The referee quickly informs Claire, who angrily grabs Odin’s leg and thrusts it down to the mat with frustration mounting. Chris Avery: Claire is starting to lose her cool here.Billy: She cannot afford to blow her lead here, she has run circles around Odin.Claire grabs Odin by the head and hauls him up onto his feet with a bit of difficulty. Odin sways as Claire begins calling on the powers of the four corners or whatever from Wicca, yet her shriek only seems to forewarn Odin, who grabs the leg of Claire as she goes for the drive-by kick. Odin suddenly hoists Claire into the air by one leg, before slamming her back down with a shin breaker. Claire hobbles away, the pain from that move seemingly excruciating. Odin looks to take advantage, he runs off the ropes, but Claire sidesteps and lays in a few well placed kicks. Chicken man comes from the other side but Claire drop kicks him in the knee and follows up with a vicious shining wizard. Claire grips Odin's arm and applies a triangle armbar. Odin yells in agony. Claire pulls back on the hold. Odin is bent over, with Claire's shoulders almost pushed to the mat, and Odin tries to push Claire down into a pin while Claire holds on to the submission. The ref asks Odin if he gives up, but Odin refuses. Odin is putting all of his weight down on Claire, trying to pin her. Claire rolls hier shoulder off the mat and keeps the submission applied. Odin yells in pain. Claire pulls back on the hold. Odin starts lifting Claire up, using all of his strength, with Claire still hanging onto his arm. Odin lifts Claire up and gives her a short powerbomb, squashing Claire to the mat. Claire tries to hang on. Odin lifts Claire up and does it again, and Claire finally releases the hold. Both competitors are once again down on the mat. After taking a short few breaths and blinking to get some feeling back in his head, Odin grits his teeth and pulls Claire up. Claire is stumbling on spaghetti legs as the big man rebounds off the ropes. This time he hits its mark, blasting Claire with a clothesline from hell. Claire folds up like an accordion at the force of the impact. Chris Avery: SLEIPNIR! Sleipnir connects! Claire's hopes of chopping the All-Father down to size may be draining away!Billy: I had hope in something for once, and the universe crushed my expectations quite well. That's the lesson, never have hope in anything!Chris Avery: Billy, that's a - that's a TERRIBLE lesson!Billy: *sobs*Odin does not go for the cover, instead taking time to taunt the crowd. He holds his arms up arrogantly, turning to each corner and shouting for them to pay homage to the God of Gods, the Se7en God, the you get it he has a lot of nicknames. Suddenly, Claire tries to pull the big man over for a schoolboy, but Odin grimly stands his ground and is unable to be pulled down. He instead, reaches down, lifting Claire by the throat with both hands and pulls her up, throwing her in the air. Claire lands on her feet, but Odin suddenly grabs her from behind and locks in a standing cobra clutch. Claire is screaming, flailing her free arm in agony as Odin has the hold firmly locked in, lifting Claire off the ground as he flings Claire around like a rag doll. Chris Avery: Odin might have this match wrapped up!Claire thrusts her leg back, able to kick Odin in the thigh several times. The force and consistency of the kicks force Odin to lower Claire onto the ground to ease the strain. Claire sees her chance, backflipping over Odin’s head whilst still locked in the cobra clutch, countering into a beautiful reverse neckbreaker! Huge counter from the veteran. Claire looks like she can't believe she got out of that one, gasping harshly, and she shakes her arm out as she crawls forward. She takes another few moments to recuperate. Odin has now managed to regain a vertical base as Claire uses the corner turnbuckle to pull herself up. Like a freight train, Odin charges towards Claire and squashes her in the corner with an avalanche. Claire is winded, she stumbles forward before falling back and leans against the turnbuckle. Odin moves back towards Claire and grabs her by the arm, dragging her out of the corner before lifting her up into the air, both hands supporting Claire as Odin lifts the CBS XXX Champion into the air. Chris Avery: What strength! WHAT STRENGTH!Billy: That’s like eight feet up in the air!Odin seems to pant a little as he holds Claire up in the air with both arms outstretched. Odin takes one large stride towards the rope before launching Claire high into the air… and CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE! Chris Avery: GOOD GOD! CLAIRE MAY HAVE BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!Billy: NO! COME ON, CLAIRE! GET UP! GET UP!Claire is reeling on the outside, but Odin is climbing the turnbuckle. Looks like the All-Father is going to fly! Odin looks down at Claire , who is still completely incapacitated as a result of that vicious gorilla press over the top rope. Odin stands on the very top turnbuckle, judging the distance to Claire below. Finally, he leaps off the ring post and goes for a splash… NO! CLAIRE NARROWLY AVOIDS IT! ODIN CRASHES ONTO THE OUTSIDE! Chris Avery: Odin took a big risk and paid the price! Now both of these competitors are down on the outside!Billy: HOLY FRIGHIND SHITFIREEEE WHAT??The referee has been forced to evacuate the ring for the time beingin order to check on both competitors. There is no sign of blood on Claire, yet his job is made much more difficult by the bulk of Odin's frame. Before he has a chance to examine further, Odin slowly pushes himself up onto all fours as Claire reaches up to grab the lip of the ring apron. Lewitt motions towards Odin, battered and bruised from the missed splash. Odin goes to grab Claire by the head, but is instead met with a punch to the gut. The big man keels over a little, but tries to battle through the pain and soldier on, but this time he is met by a toe punt to the sternum, followed by a double axe handle to the back, knocking him to one knee. Claire grabs Odin by the arm and goes for an Irish whip towards the steel ring steps, but the giant hunkers down and holds his ground. Claire tries to muster all the strength she can, but Odin is sitting firm. Suddenly, Odin yanks Claire towards him and hauls him up onto his shoulder, catching him so that their heads are virtually side by side. Odin begins to run towards the ring post, aiming Claire’s head towards the metal. At the last possible moment, Claire slips behind Odin and shoves him face first into the post, a loud metallic “bonk” on impact causes the crowd to wince. Chris Avery: Oooooh!Billy: I'm not sure if the skull would break or the steel would, there.Odin stumbles around, dazed and holding his forehead. Not knowing where he is. Claire gets a running start and gives him a modified bulldog in the aisle, driving him onto the ring apron, compounding Odin's head issues. Odin is so injured that he can only hold on to the apron, trying to recover and shake the cobwebs out. Claire stubbornly grabs a massive, giant leg and begins trying to muscle him up so that she can roll him in the ring, but he kicks her off. Claire avoids a swipe of a clothesline, rolling into the ring, and taunting him to come and get her. Odin, blindly starts rolling into the ring, coming after her but as he gets up he intercepts Claire's foot, which is bad times as she brings the other foot around in a spinning heel kick which catches Odin on the jaw. Chris Avery: Claire suckered Odin in and made him chase her right into that kick!Billy: There's only so much of her moveset that's even effective against a duder that outweighs her by this much so that's why she's using a lot of kicks, fuck yeah that sounds smart and completely tracks. *Cough cough*Claire covers... One... Two.. Thr- Kickout! Claire is beginning to look frustrated with Odin, who has so far been able to break every pinfall that she has attempted. Claire waits for Odin to start making his way to all fours again, but she climbs onto the second turnbuckle and flips backward off, taking Odin down with a springboard corkscrew senton! Chris Avery: COUNTER SPELL!!Claire scrambles to hook whatever much of Odin's thick leg she can pull up for a cover. One... Two... Three - Kickout! Claire cannot believe it! Her head is in her hands before tugging on her hair with anger. She glares angrily at the referee. He assures her that Odin kicked out. At length, after some back and forth between Hawkins and the official in which she shrieks at him and gives him a rude gesture, Odin is starting to stir. Claire is trying to pick up Odin once again, his dead weight is too much. Odin shoves her away and stumbles, falling backwards and unable to keep his footing. Odin slumps in the corner, blinking and trying to regain his composure as Claire analyzes the situation, trying to think of a different tactic. She backs away and charges at Odin, connecting with a corner splash. Claire darts back as Odin sways wearily, stumbling forward. Claire's cheeks bulge out, and she looks to spit the black mist, but as Claire spits mist out into the ether, Odin is able to duck out of the way and evade it at the last second. Claire, leaned forward after spitting the mist, is in prime position for Odin to tuck her head in and give her a DDT. He pulls Claire up off the mat, setting her on his shoulder and smashing her into the canvas with a running powerslam! Chris Avery: LAWMAKER!Billy: But Odin may be too out of it from the repeated shots to the head!!Chris Avery: Come to think of it, his eyes do look glazed and unfocused.Odin is in a seated position after the last move, trying to rub some sense into his head. Finally, he gets to the heart of the matter and he goes for the pin. One... Two... Kickout. Odin rolls over onto his back, his face a mask of exhaustion, pain from the blows to his head and shock. However, a dark look passes over the Al-Father's face as he wants to inflict as much pain on this witch as possible. He turns and begins getting to his feet, going over to the corner and tearing off the turnbuckle pad. The referee intervenes and stops Odin, and begins yelling at him and telling him he is close to being disqualified. Odin and the referee argue about Odin being on thin ice for a few moments, and then the irascible Odin snarls and tells him to watch his back. Odin turns his head back to Claire, only to be caught by a running bicycle knee from Claire! Claire motions that this is the end, pulling Odin in position for a Complete Shot setup into the Witching Hour. Claire struggles with the dead weight of Odin. However, Odin throws Claire off, and Claire nearly collides with the referee over by the ropes as she stumbles back into the corner. However, Claire uses this as an opportunity to get up on the turnbuckles. Claire locks her arm round and leaps off driving him down a diving stunner. As she swings she accidentally kicks the poor ref right in the face and he crumples like a sack of potatoes. Chris Avery: CLAIRE WITH THE SILVER BULLET!Billy: Oh no the ref is down!Claire, exhausted, is laying over Odin, and nodding her head in weary anticipation of the bell ringing, but the crowd counts One... Two... Three... but when she looks up, she notices the referee is down. Claire falls off the massive chest of Odin, covering her face with her hands, she could have had him here this expression says. Claire crawls back towards the official and is slapping him around in a “soft” way to wake him up. She pulls him up to a seated position in the corner and is trying to wake him up. Hawkins stands up and turns around and ODIN WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT!! Billy: MY GOD!! MY GOD!!Hawkins struggling to get back to her feet and Odin just picks her up, pure raw strength and drops her down over his knee with a stiff fucking backbreaker!! Chris Avery: JESUS CHRIST!Odin picks up Hawkins and hits RAGNAROK!! He covers and the ref moves over to pin! ONE!! TWO!! THREE DING DING DING Billy: ODIN WINS!!Just as Odin kneels up, Cousin Harper is in the ring and hits a big boot to the side of Odins head! His music aired for maybe all of 2 seconds and the crowd starts booing!! Billy: WHAT THE HELL!?Chris Avery: COUSIN HARPER FROM THE HERITAGE!!Harper is stomping on Odin and now we see James Payne slide into the ring and hes holding out his hands, spinning in a circle yelling WHATS UP AYYYYY to the crowd. They’re all booing. Billy: HE LOST IN A LOSER LEAVES CRUISERCLASH MATCH EARLIER TONIGHT! Chris Avery: IS JAMES PAYNE HERE?! HERE ON CLASH?!Billy: HE DOESN’T HAVE LUKA PARSONS!Payne tells Odin to GET UP and Odin, rightfully, does and Harper hits another big boot sending Odin into the turnbuckles! Chris Avery: WE HEARD THIS MATCH WAS A #1 CONTENDERS MATCH TO THE TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP.. A TITLE MATCH, BY THE WAY THAT ODIN WAS CLOSE TO WINNING JUST A WEEK AGO AT REVOLUTION FIVE!Payne is still laughing as Harper kicks Odin in the head again and Odin lays his head on the bottom turnbuckle.. Billy: WHAT THE HELL, HERITAGE!! WHAT THE GOD DAMN HELL!Chris Avery: ANOTHER BRUTAL ATTACK FROM COUSIN HARPER YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!Billy: ODIN WAS VICTORIOUS BUT FOR A SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK HES LEFT ON THE CANVAS THANKS TO COUSIN HARPER..Heritage leave the ring and are up the ramp and Payne is yelling out that its his house now! Payne and Cousin Harper celebrate as Odin is pulling himself up in the turnbuckles and Hawkins is holding her CBS Championship on the outside.. Billy: What the hell else can happen tonight?!We fade to a commercial.

CJ Phoenix’s Last Minute Warm Up
Backstage, the camera finds CJ Phoenix doing some last minute warm ups outside of the Gorilla Position as he waits for the start of his upcoming match with Joey Scala. As CJ bends down to touch his toes and stretch out his legs, a pair of white shoes and white slacks enter the shot. As CJ stands up, the camera follows him vertically and finds the white garb to belong to a sneering Dandy DiVito staring down the United States Champion with Dandy’s younger brother Richard immediately in tow. Richard DiVito: What’s up, daddy-o?CJ cocks his head to the side. CJ Phoenix: I’m sorry…what?[/i][/b] Richard smirks and Dandy just stares CJ down. CJ Phoenix: You boys got a problem?Dandy’s snarl turns to a subtle smile. Dandy DiVito: Now, now, champ. Why don’t you just cool your shit.CJ Phoenix: What the fuck do you want?Richard butts in. Richard DiVito: What? Are you saying the greatest United States Champion of all time can’t stop by to wish the temporary title holder good luck?The Luminary of Despair stares down the World Title. Then, he looks at Richard. CJ Phoenix: You're right. I appreciate the compliment, so I will wish him good luck.He turns his attention to Dandy and points at the World Title. CJ Phoenix: Good luck with the rest of your reign. I look forward to taking that when the time comes, but for now, I have business to take care of.CJ scoffs and shakes his head while Dandy’s smirk turns back into a snarl. Richard DiVito: Don’t worry, champ. We’ll just stick to our business and you? You can keep your cute little title, your fucking nose, and uh, your dick out of it, huh?CJ rolls his eyes and walks off into the Gorilla Position as the scene fades.

Back From Commercial.. It's Gerard Angelo and Grindhouse..
Back on Monday Night Clash where the Grindhouse beat down CJ Phoenix at the behest of Gerard Angelo. Billy: Angelo has a microphone, folks!Gerard points to Scala and Ross, telling them to pull CJ up. They each grab an arm and hold him up on his knees. Angelo reaches down and lifts up the US title, staring at it as the crowd boos. He squats down, getting to eye level with Pheonix as he struggles against the two larger men. Gerard smirks and holds the strap up as he brings the mic to his lips. Gerard Angelo: You got in my head at Revolution, CJ. I was so laser-focused that your little trick of changing the rules before the match threw me off. I made one tiny mistake and you took advantage. Congratulations, it won’t ever happen again. This-Gerry is pressing the plate of the title against CJ’s face as if trying to drive the point home. Gerard Angelo: -is mine. It is only a matter of time. Just know you brought all of this on yourself, CJ. Until I am THE United States Champion, this is your fate. Until I have what you robbed me of, I will be your despair.Gerard stands up, tossing the title at CJ, and drops the mic. Holden and Joey let go of Phoenix, letting him drop to his hands and knees as he tries to recover. Angelo and Grindhouse start to exit the ring but Gerard notices CJ grabbing at his championship. Gerry stops what he’s doing and explodes over suddenly, leaping into the air and driving the bottom of his expensive dress shoe into the back of CJ’s head, slamming his face into the US title with a viscous curbstomp! Billy: Hollywood Ending onto the US title! This is despicable! CJ won at Revolution fair and square!Chris Avery: Obviously Angelo thought he was robbed! CJ is paying the price for Gerard’s delusions!Gerard exits the ring and adjusts his suit jacket, straightening it out as he walks up the ramp with Scala and Ross, the three of them laughing.

Main Event Street Fight Lissie Hope vs. Cassidy Adler Chris Avery: This has been an incredible night so far! And we’ve made it the Milwaukee Streetfight!Billy: This main event has been building for months, Chris! Ever since Lissie planted Cassidy in the middle of the ring with a Crown of Thorns when she defected Philidor Holdings, the clock was ticking until it erupted two weeks ago!Chris Avery: During the finals of the Trials of Despair, Lissie Hope had Gerard Angelo dead to rights! Was just about to punch her ticket to Revolution to fight for the United States Championship!Billy: And take a look at what happened next!Chris Avery: At Revolution, Lissie Hope went face to face with Cassidy Adler for the first time since November, and the two couldn’t keep their hands off each other!Billy: This is going to be a violent affair! There is so much personal animosity here and we have front row seats to a goddamn war!Adilene Floyd: The following match is a MILWAUKEE STREETFIGHT!You hear the sick intro to “U Mad” by Vic Mensa start to play, and you’re immediately mesmerized by the display of flashing lights and the titantron presenting to you Action Wrestling’s Show Stealer. “Ooo I don’t need y’all either. “Ooo don’t wanna talk about it. “Ooo like I don’t, like I don’t know nobody. “Like I don’t know nobody. “I guess I don’t!” “Oh you mad, huh? ‘Oh you mad, huh? ‘Oh oh you mad, huh?” You spot the smug look of the Show Stealer, Cassidy Adler, as he struts onto the ramp and begins to make his way down to the ring, adjusting his baggy shorts and beaming a pearly-toothed smile at you, causing you to immediately feel the need to get his number and find out when he’s next available. Unfortunately for you, this is the Adler show and he’s here to slap a hoe, not find his next sexploit. Cassidy brushes his blonde hair out of his eyes, slicking it back and blowing a kiss at the camera, followed by a wink as his music fades out. You can feel your heart racing from his mere presence in the ring as the 6’1, 183 pound specimen seems to have not only stolen the show, but everyone’s hearts. Even Adilene Floyd is swooning. Adilene Floyd: N… n- now in the ring, from Rye, New York… the “Show Stealer” C-Cassidy Adler!He scans the first few rows of the crowd, locating Emma Langdon, Lissie’s new girlfriend, seated in the front rows. He smirks at her mimics stroking himself, and the crowd around Emma boo straight into the hard camera lens. Chris Avery: What a disrespectful, smug creep, Billy. !Billy: I don’t think she should be out here, Chris! Not only is this going to get violent, but Cassidy is bound to use her to distract Lissie, and that’s not something Lissie needs in the back of her mind!!Chris Avery: You’re probably right about that, Billy, but it’s also publicly known that Lissie wants her biggest support systems in the front rows. She seems to hit a different gear when they’re around -Billy: - and she’s found herself in defeat when they’re not.Chris Avery: Exactly! So this is a mental hurdle Lissie has to get through - and I think we’ll find out tonight where that legend stands!The lights dim - and the crowd EXPLODES! Billy: And here we go!The heavy synths of "You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around" by Grimes begins. The child-like adlibs and the booming bass shakes the seats underneath each audience member. They rise to their feet in anticipation of the arrival of Action Wrestling’s former two-time World Champion, "The Blackheart" Lissie Hope! “I shot myself yesterday / got to Heaven anyway” The crowd jumps out of their seats as Grimes' continues to sing into the pre-chorus. The anticipation is growing, and the cheers start to crescendo. “If you don't bleed / then you don't die Cross my heart / and hope to fly” Finally, the curtains spread and Lissie Hope emerges at the top of the entrance stage, standing for a moment and appreciating all of the cheers being levied in her direction! In her hands she holds a vase of beautiful red roses!! The smile on her face is from ear to ear, and the camera pans over to Emma in the front row, as she wipes her cheek. Billy: This is the cutest goddamn thing I’ve ever seen.Chris Avery: We won’t have a Valentine’s show next Monday night and Lissie didn’t want to miss her chance!She quickly paces down the ramp and hands the glass vase of roses to Emma, giving her a quick kiss. As she pulls away, Emma pulls her right back in so they can share an even bigger one! The fans roar with excitement! Adeline Floyd: Ladies and gentlemen, from New Orleans, Louisianas... standing 5'5" and weighing 135 pounds... "THE BLACKHEART"... LISSSSSSIEEEE HOOOOOOPE!She enters the ring, wearing a cut-off "Hero" tee-shirt, revealing a black Under Armour exercise top and black and pink workout pants. She tosses the shirt to the timekeeper. Climbing the corner to acknowledge the fans, the song fades to a hush and she stands across the ring from the smirking Cassidy Adler. The steely look of determination and anger is evident on her face. Chris Avery: You can feel the absolute HATRED in the ring right now, Billy!Billy: So the rules of this are simple - there ARE no rules Anything goes, and that is one of Lissie’s specialties!Chris Avery: Whatever’s in the ring, whatever’s outside of the ring, under the ring, in the stands, in the concourse - it doesn’t matter! The only thing that matters is getting that pinfall in the middle of the ring!Lissie and Cassidy slowly walk towards the middle of the ring, talking trash to each other. Cassidy is being antagonistic and disrespectful but Lissie is muttering under her breath, and Cassidy says something she doesn’t like and Lissie goes forehead to forehead with him now! Billy: THIS IS GOING TO EXPLODE!RIGHT HAND! LISSIE LANDS ANOTHER RIGHT HAND! ANOTHER! CASSIDY BACKPEDALS INTO THE CORNER AND LISSIE STARTS PUMMELING HIM WITH RIGHTS! CASSIDY HAS HIS HANDS UP TO DEFEND HIMSELF BUT LISSIE IS RELENTLESS! MORE RIGHT HANDS! THE FANS GET LOUDER AND LOUDER WITH EVERY ONE! CASSIDY SHOOTS FOR A SHOULDER TO LISSIE’S STERNUM TO BREAK HER MOMENTUM! HE WHIPS HER TO THE ROPES – BUT SHE EXPLODES BACK! SPEAR! THE CROWD GOES FUCKING NUTS! RIGHT HAND! RIGHT HAND! SHE’S STRADDLING CASSIDY ADLER! RIGHT HAND! AND ANOTHER! Chris Avery: THIS IS A GODDAMN FIGHT! THIS ISN’T WRESTLING! THERE’S NO LOVE LOST HERE!Billy: SHE’S GOING TO BEAT HIS BRAINS INTO MUSH AT THIS RATE!Finally, Lissie stands up, brushing her hair from her face. She lands a kick to Cassidy’s chest to keep him down, before dropping an elbow across his neck. She goes for a quick cover - 1– But Cassidy kicks up quickly. Lissie brings Cass up to his feet and drives a knee into his gut, before dropping him with a scoop slam. She bounces off the ropes and comes back in with a jumping knee drop - but Cass moves out of the way! He rolls out of the ring to catch a breather, circling around and clutching at his jaw. But Lissie quickly exits behind him and gives chase, a running start with an axehandle to the back of Cassidy’s head! The fans erupt with cheers as Lissie slams Cassidy’s head against the turnpost. With a grip of his hair, she drives her bicep under his throat for a European uppercut! Now Cassidy rolls INTO the ring for safety! Chris Avery: He’s running from her, Billy!Billy: Cassidy has always been great at hiding like a troll but he’s got nowhere to hide now!Lissie lifts the ring apron and pulls out a steel chair! She climbs up on the apron but Cassidy lunges forward and knocks it back into her, sending her off the apron! The crowd starts booing as Cassidy finally turns the tables, climbing out onto the apron. He jumps off and drives an axehandle into her head. He responds to the crowd booing with a Kanye shrug, before punting her right in the sternum! With Lissie doubled over and gasping for breath, he drives the heel of his boot into her fingers! And with one hand still on the mat, he kicks at her elbow! Chris Avery: What a dirty son of a bitch! He’s trying to break her bones!Billy: She did say he couldn’t break her, Chris! And I think he’s set out to prove her wrong!Cassidy grabs Lissie by the hair and mushes her face in his left hand, before delivering a HUGE right hand to her temple! He then reaches behind the timekeeper’s table and grabs the shirt Lissie wore to the ring - he unfolds it to look at the HERO text, and SPITS on it! Chris Avery: HE IS SO DISRESPECTFUL!Billy: AND HE’S NOT DONE!He then wraps the shirt around Lissie’s neck and pulls it tight! Lissie clutches with her fingers, trying to create some separation before the oxygen is drained from her body! And even this is too much for the referee who physically interjects, breaking Cass’s grip of the shirt! Cass faints a back elbow to the referee. Lissie scrambles to safety, gasping for breath, holding herself up on the barrier right in front of Emma. Emma tries to comfort her but now Cassidy gives chase, and delivers a running knee strike to her! With no one separating them, and still with one hand on the shirt, he does the unthinkable - he RUBS THE SHIRT ON HIS CROTCH BEFORE THROWING IT IN EMMA’S FACE! Chris Avery: THIS IS JUST GETTING MORE AND MORE DISGUSTING!Billy: I hate this, Chris. I hate everything about this.Billy starts to remove his headset, standing up from the desk! Chris Avery: Billy! Come on, don’t do this! Folks, I think Billy is boycotting the rest of this match, and frankly, I don’t blame him!Cassidy sees that Billy has started circling around the desk and he comes up to him, and they start screaming at each other! Cassidy is more amused that he’s bothered Billy so much - the hard cam catches him say “BY THE TIME YOUR FAT-ASS MAKES IT TO THE BACK, THIS SHIT WILL BE OVER! TAKE THE TRASH WITH YOU!” And Cassidy turns back to Lissie, WHO ERUPTS WITH A HUGE SUPERMAN PUNCH THAT MAKES HIS HEAD SPIN! Chris Avery: WHOA!And he falls right back into Billy, who shoves him back to Lissie, who drops him with release belly to belly suplex! The fans are going nuts as Lissie catches her breath, and Billy takes his seat back at the commentator table! Lissie starts talking to Emma, pleading with her to go to the back - she doesn’t want Emma to witness this! And if she loses, she loses - but EMMA SAYS NO! SHE’S STAYING RIGHT THERE! Cassidy has gotten back to his feet and he hits Lissie in the back of the head with a forearm! He then starts shouting at Emma, WHO REACHES INTO HER PURSE AND PULLS OUT MACE! SHE’S THREATENING TO SHOOT MACE INTO HIS EYES! CASSIDY BACKS UP DEFENSIVELY, HIS HANDS IN THE AIR, BEFORE PULLING LISSIE UP BY THE HAIR! BUT LISSIE FIGHTS BACK WITH AN ELBOW TO THE STOMACH, AND THEN SHE PUSHES HIM INTO THE BARRICADE… BUT CASSIDY BACKHAND SLAPS LISSIE ON CHEEK! Chris Avery: THIS IS SO PERSONAL! SO DISGUSTING!Billy: Cassidy Adler represents everything that is wrong - not just with wrestling, but with society at large.With utter disgust in his eyes, he mutters the word “BITCH!” to Lissie, before stomping at her face again to keep her down. AND HE LUNGES, KNOCKING THE MACE OUT OF EMMA’S HAND, BEFORE RIPPING HER PURSE OFF HER SHOULDER! HE STARTS DIGGING IN! Chris Avery: WHY DOES IT NOT SURPRISE ME THAT CASSIDY WOULD MUG DEFENSELESS WOMEN!Billy: This just gets more and more sickening.AND CASSIDY PULLS OUT — A PAIR OF FUZZY HANDCUFFS! THE FANS START LAUGHING AS CASS TOSSES THE PURSE BACK AT HER IN DISGUST! “WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE IN THERE?” HE SCREAMS. BUT THEN, HE GETS A SICK LOOK IN HIS EYES. HE GRABS LISSIE BY THE WRIST, AND ROLLS HER INTO THE RING… BUT HE STILL HOLDS HER WRIST! HE SLAPS A CUFF ON HER WRIST, AND THE OTHER, HE LATCHES ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE! SHE’S TRYING TO FIGHT THROUGH IT, BUT CASS GRABS THE STEEL CHAIR! SHE’S FIGHTING BACK WITH ONE HAND, BUT WITH THE CUFF ON THE BOTTOM ROPE, SHE’S AT AN AWKWARD ANGLE… AND HE SLAMS THE CHAIR ONTO HER WRIST! Chris Avery: JESUS CHRIST!Billy: SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO THIS!LISSIE’S SCREAMING IN AGONY AS CASSIDY RAISES THE CHAIR UP OVER HIS HEAD, AND DRIVES IT DOWN ON HER WRIST AGAIN! THANKFULLY, THIS BREAKS THE CHEAP PLASTIC CUFF AND LISSIE IS FREE, BUT HER ARM DANGLES GINGERLY. AS LISSIE GETS TO HER KNEES, CASSIDY RAISES THE CHAIR AGAIN, AND SLAMS IT ACROSS HER BACK! HE DROPS THE CHAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND PULLS LISSIE INTO HIS LEGS! THEY’RE HOVERING OVER THE CHAIR! “SUCK-ON-DEEZ, BITCH!” HE SCREAMS OUT! Chris Avery: IF HE PLANTS HER WITH THE SUGONDESE RIGHT THERE ON THE CHAIR, THIS IS IT!BUT LISSIE BREAKS THE UNDERHOOK! SHE DROPS TO HER KNEES! AND SHE UPPERCUTS HIM BELOW THE BELT! THE CROWD ROARS WITH EXCITEMENT AS CASSIDY BOUNCES AROUND IN PAIN AFTER THE LOW BLOW! AND LISSIE DROPS HIM WITH A DDT, RIGHT ON THE STEEL CHAIR! SHE HOOKS THE LEG! THE CROWD SCREAMS ALONG! 1– 2– 3– NO! CASSIDY KICKS OUT! THE FANS ARE DEFLATED AS LISSIE ROLLS UP ON HER KNEES, GRABBING AT HER HAIR! SHE SHAKES OUT HER HURT WRIST AND PRIES THE CUFF OFF. SHE THEN ROLLS UNDER THE ROPES, AND ON THE OTHER END, SHE FINDS A TABLE! THE CROWD ROARS AS SHE PULLS THE TABLE OUT AND STARTS SLIDING IT INTO THE RING! BUT CASS BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND BASEBALL SLIDES IT BACK INTO HER CHEST! CASSIDY FOLLOWS HER OUT AND BOUNCES A BOOT OFF HER FACE BEFORE STARTING TO SET THE TABLE UP! BUT WITH ONE LEG IN PLACE, LISSIE INTERCEPTS HIM WITH A SHOT TO THE BACK WITH A 2X4 SHE DISCREETLY PULLED OUT AT THE SAME TIME! CASS SCREAMS IN AGONY AND GRABS AT HIS LOWER BACK, BEFORE SHE SLAMS THE 2X4 INTO HIS CHEST, CRACKING IT IN HALF! SHE TOSSES IT ASIDE AND DROPS CASS WITH A SPINEBUSTER OUTSIDE THE RING! SHE HOOKS A LEG – BUT THE REFEREE DOESN’T COUNT! Chris Avery: IT HAS TO BE IN THE RING, LISSIE!Billy: DAMMIT! SHE HAD THIS WON!Lissie crawls off Cassidy in frustration before sliding him back into the ring. She finishes setting the table up outside the ring, before following him back in. But as she enters, Cass tackles her into the turnbuckle, driving her backwards with two hands on her throat, bending her over the top rope with that choke! He then steps back, allows her to stumble forward, before scooping her up into a scoop slam – but he doesn’t drop her… instead, he drives her backwards into the turnbuckle! He traps her legs on the top rope, and she’s in a tree of woe position! He then takes a running start from the middle of the ring and baseball slides into her face! He untangles her feet and pushes her down with disregard and humiliation, before ripping at the strings tying the padding to the turnbuckle! He exposes the metal underneath, before turning his attention back to her. With forward momentum, he tries to drive Lissie’s face into the metal… but Lissie is able to stop herself with the ropes! She drives an elbow into Cass’s stomach, and starts to whip him to the opposite turnbuckle. But she stops mid-way… turns it back around, and whips Cass stomach first into the exposed turnbuckle! Chris Avery: THAT MUST HAVE CRACKED HIS LITTLE BIRD CHEST!Billy: SUCKS TO SUCK!Cass gasps for breath as Lissie grabs the steel chair and cracks it over his back! Cassidy flips over the top rope and to his feet, and Lissie jumps through the middle rope with a half-dropkick sending Cassidy sprawling onto the table! But Lissie stays inside the ring. She sees Cass laying on the table. AND SHE CLIMBS THE TOP ROPE! SHE MOTIONS TO THE CROWD THAT SHE LOVES THEM! SHE MARKS THE SIGN OF THE CRUCIFIX ON HER CHEST! AND SHE LEAPS OFF WITH A CORKSCREW SWANTON! Chris Avery: CHERRY BOMB!BUT SHE CRASH LANDS THROUGH THE TABLE! Billy: SHITFIRE!CASSIDY WAS PLAYING POSSUM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE! HE WATCHES LISSIE BROKEN IN A TANGLED MESS OF WOOD! HE PULLS HER OUT OF THE RUBBLE AND ROLLS HER INTO THE RING! HE THEN MAKES THE COVER! 1– Chris Avery: NOT LIKE THIS!2– Billy: LISSIE KICK OUT!3– NO! LISSIE GETS A SHOULDER UP! CASSIDY CAN’T BELIEVE IT! WITH A PARTING KICK TO HER HEAD TO KEEP HER DOWN, A FRUSTRATED CASSIDY WRAPS HIS HANDS AROUND THE COLLAR OF THE CAMERA OPERATOR! HE SNATCHES THE CAMERA OUT OF THE CAMERAMAN’S HANDS AND RAISES IT UP OVER LISSIE! BUT BEFORE HE CAN BRING IT DOWN ON HER, THE REFEREE GRABS IT AS HE HOLDS IT OVER HIS HEAD! “NO!” HE YELLS AT CASS! CASS YELLS AT THE REFEREE TO MOVE! WHEN THE REFEREE WON’T LET GO OF THE CAMERA, CASS PUSHES HIM AWAY! HE SWINGS THE CAMERA AS LISSIE GETS TO HER FEET! BUT LISSIE EVADES IT JUST IN TIME! THE CAMERA SMASHES INTO THE METAL TURNBUCKLE, THE GLASS SHATTERING INTO FRAGMENTS ON THE FLOOR! SOME PIECES WEDGE IN CASSIDY’S HANDS, AND HIS HANDS START POURING BLOOD! CASS TURNS TO LISSIE! KICK TO THE STOMACH! Chris Avery: CROWN OF THORNS!BUT NO! CASSIDY REVERSES IT! Billy: SUGONDESE! CHRIST NO!AND CASSIDY LANDS IT! AS CASSIDY LOOKS DOWN AT LISSIE, HE FLINGS SOME OF THE BLOOD FROM HIS HANDS ONTO HER FACE! “YOU’RE GOING TO BLEED, BITCH!” HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, AND MARCHES RIGHT TO EMMA! HE REACHES OVER AND GRABS HER VASE OF ROSES! HE EMPTIES THE CONTENTS AND ROLLS IN WITH THE VASE! Chris Avery: GOD NO!AS LISSIE PULLS HERSELF UP, CASSIDY IS AIMING FOR HER! Billy: HE WANTS TO BREAK THAT DAMN VASE OVER HER HEAD!HE SWINGS! …HE MISSES! HE DROPS THE VASE! LISSIE KICKS HIM IN THE STOMACH! AN UNDERHOOK!

HIS FACE IS POURING BLOOD! 1… 2… 3!!! DING DING DING!!! THE CROWD IMMEDIATELY STARTS CHEERING AS GRIMES COMES ON THE SPEAKERS! BUT LISSIE HOPE IS IN NO CELEBRATORY MOOD. SHE LOOKS DOWN AT CASS ADLER, WHO’S IN A BROKEN, BLOODY MESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, KNOWING SHE WAS JUST MOMENTS FROM ENDURING THE SAME FATE. THE MEDICS RUN IN AND IMMEDIATELY START APPLYING PRESSURE TO HIS FACE AS LISSIE OBSERVES FROM THE CORNER OF THE RING. NO EMOTION. NO TEARS. NO ANGER. NO FEAR. NO HAPPINESS. Chris Avery: This was a war, Billy. Not just in this ring, but this war was for Lissie Hope’s soul.Billy: For a year, Lissie Hope has been used and manipulated until she became a shell of the person we fell in love with. And Cassidy Adler was the last thread tying her back to Philidor Holdings.Chris Avery: And that thread is severed. Lissie Hope is DONE with this She’s DONE with Cassidy Adler. She’s DONE with Philidor Holdings.Billy: She’s stronger than she’s ever been. She’s better than she’s ever been. And she’s driving off into the sunset with the people who love her. With the people who support her and care about her..Lissie Hope falls to her back and rolls out of the ring. She turns her back on Cassidy Adler - possibly for the last time - and marches straight towards Emma Langdon in the front row. Emma wraps her arms around Lissie’s neck, and Lissie pulls her clear over the barricade. The two begin walking arm in arm up the ramp. Chris Avery: We all see what the real story is. And that’s that the toughest woman who’s ever graced an Action Wrestling ring– the Blackheart– Lissie Hope– the Lissie Hope we all love and admire and root for?Billy: Lissie Hope is back, Action Wrestling.Lissie and Emma stop at the top of the ramp.. They look back out at the crowd. Lissie just slowly starts to smile. We slowly fade to our final commercial break.
