The pyro blasts off inside the arena and the crowd is erupting! Billy: Welcomeeeee to Monday Night Clash and tonight, Chris, tonight the #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship Lissie F'n Hope is in singles action!Chris Avery: Tonights main event see's Lissie Hope facing off against Tatiana Jolee just weeks before Hope challenges Gerard Angelo for the World Championship!Billy: We have tag team action, we have a host of new superstars fighting for opportunities and we have a HUGE Television Championship match tonight too!Chris Avery: No doubt, I'm VER-The ActionTron lights up. Chris Avery: What is this!?A black SUV shows up in the parking lot and the back doors open. Tuma, Von and Tobias Hoffman step out as the crowd boos. Roman Gunn steps out and the crowd gets louder. The four all look at each other until Roman nods and they all step towards the arena. Billy: Family Business is here tonight!Chris Avery: Roman and the family showing up together!They walk through a line of security guards all standing shoulder to shoulder. They walk into the arena as we stay with the line of guards. Billy: What is this!?Pasternak is pacing back and forth in front of the guards.. Alexander Pasternak: I don't think he's going to do anything evil by any standards, but he put on twitter that he was guaranteeing he was going to hurt her! I can't just have superstars make threats and then act on them!The guards all nod. Alexander Pasternak: This is what he looks like.He shows a 8x11 photo of him. Alexander Pasternak: His name is Mason Jones.The crowd is erupting. Chris Avery: WHOA!Alexander Pasternak: I don't want him arrested, I just want him stopped and to be held until I can talk to him. I can't have him messing up the main event.The ActionTron fadeds out. Billy: Wow, Family Business shows up and then we have a line of guards hanging out on the look out for Mason Jones! You have to assume thats about Tatiana Jolee not answering the challenge for Uprising!Chris Avery: Yeah, absolutely, Mason is becoming a bit unhinged!Suddenly, the opening rhythm to "Mainlining Murder" by Lars Frederiksen hits on the PA, and, slowly, Downfall walks out onto the stage. Billy: WELLLLLLL! AND THE HITS KEEP COMIN'! Chris Avery: Here comes a man that, by all metrics, we should be celebrating. Downfall, with Dionysus as the Vanguard, has done it all, and over the last year we've seen some real growth, and the potential to be a great champion.From the intro to the song, there's almost a hopeful pause from the crowd, as you can sense that they know Downfall is coming out there, but when he steps through the curtains. He's wearing his black, distressed leather jacket, his hair tied in a topknot, and he sports a dark look on his face and clenched in one hand, a curved iron tool, carried as tightly as a rosary, a few boos start from the back row. Downfall looks around the crowd, as he walks down to the ring. Billy: The fans are literally out here asking "Why Downfall why??" And I thought that was a cliche, something you'd see Little Orphan Annie doing with a tear dripping down her cheek!As Downfall gets to the ring, he stops, looking coldly around at the crowd, and something in the set of his jaw turns to iron just as hard as the blackened metal tool in his hand. He slides in the ring, pacing to one side, and then the other. Finally, he paces over, taking a mic, but he pauses, listening to the crowd. There is a lot of vituperation in the crowd's response, but he's listening for cheers, almost listening for anyone that can understand. Downfall: I've heard...He pauses, as he's started speaking, the boos from the crowd gets louder. Downfall, almost sardonically, blinks and shakes his head with a "Wow, okay" sort of flabbergasted eye-opening, but then he looks more determined. Downfall: I've heard... so much this past week, about why what I did to Johnny Bacchus was horrible, evil, vile... that I don't deserve to go in the All-In match and that I'm a lying, backstabbing snake. That I took the easy way out, when I saw I couldn't beat Johnny Bacchus... and that I grabbed for this crowbar as desperation, as a backup plan I needed to have in place because I'm terrified of losing my spot.The crowd boos him louder, and Downfall, starting to get fed up with it, speaks louder, voice riding in cadence and rougher in pitch. Downfall: FIRST of all, where was the god damn rejection of Johnny Bacchus when the shoe was on the other foot, when he had to use Affluenza to beat me down in a match he wasn't winning? Anyone condemning me, and yet, still, you answered Johnny's call and acquiesced to cheer for him when it's the same god damn thing ultimately proves my point... You people are fickle, and ya just want to move on to the next shiny thing - YES. FICKLE. I SAID IT.Bitter, he points, angrily to the back, his voice rising like a condemnation, finger pointed like an accusing brazier. Downfall: Dion and I gave you the absolute best of ourselves week in and week out, getting booked every week, having to wrestle twice in one night multiple times, and you fans only ever moved on to cheer for, and to push this company to push forward, half-assed rejects that couldn't lace our god damn boots! You wanted so badly to see the Swallowing reunite and rule the Tag division - and those arrogant little cum dumpsters proclaimed that we weren't on THEIR LEVEL? And you cheered for that?? And Lissie Hope is GIVEN a World Title shot, and all she does is fucking tweet about Big Brother from the couch? And you CHEER for that??Chris Avery: That's a fairly good point, I muted her twitter last week!In full, bitter rant mode, he paces a few steps, mic in one hand, crowbar in the other. Downfall: Johnny Bacchus asks you for your love and support despite screwing me multiple times, and you cheer for him? So I did what Johnny isn't willing to do, I decided on a course of action, and if I can no longer be you people's hero for that I will take that scarlet letter as a badge of honor but don't any of you dare think I turned my back on what I've been standing for. I've given you people everything. And I've given shitty people like Johnny Bacchus all of the honor, all of the nobility and fought them, fairly, with every bit of my heart, with all of my soul and they still have to resort to weaselling and bullshit to get by me. So I decided. And I committed. In a way that Johnny Bacchus never has, because as I said, he wants to be your hero still! He wants to ask you to cheer for him! Even as he comes out here with a baseball bat in hand, with the SAME INTENTION IN MIND AS ME USING THIS CROWBAR... And he wants you to love him for it!Sickened, he turns his face away, down, snarling. Then, he looks up, eyes cold. Downfall: And please note, there was a time when I would have taken this to anyone. There was a time in my life where I would beat my own best friend over the head with this until his retinas detached, just because we were vying for a title shot... I've battered my own stablemates because they displeased me. I beat rivals over the head so they wouldn't be standing... But me deciding that I was not going to abide Johnny Bacchus' shithousery and to crush him without mercy, that was a bridge too far... I see you all.He turns to the ropes, gripping the top rope, gripping the crowbar, and speaking directly into the back locker room. Downfall: I didn't turn away from the Vanguard or what we stand for... I never have, and I haven't even now. I just chose. I'm choosing to stand for the Vanguard, and I'm choosing to not shy away from the methods that I should have been employing. When a team that hasn't even been in your division for 18 months comes back and says they're the best team there's ever been and you've been ducking facing them, you don't play nice with them, you beat them down and leave two broken, wasted little dolls twisted in the bottom of the toybox where they belong.His voice rises, getting more heated, getting louder. Downfall: When a hypocritical, shit-stirring little chimpanzee with delusions of being a revolutionary tries to make his name off irritating you, you don't abide it until he adds your name to his Twitter bio every week, you put him in the hospital nursing a concussion he won't come back from.Even louder, angrier. Downfall: When this company gives JOHN BLACK a Hardcore Title shot, twice, but tells you, oh, sorry, there's nothing for you this week... you take the crowbar in your hands and you start splattering brains and suddenly, there's nobody else in line with you.He snorts derisively. Downfall: Yeah, Masuda... don't think I've forgotten, friend... and while I enjoyed our cute little exchange of libations a few weeks ago the time has come to get real, you are in the Hardcore division, you are in MY division, and it's never been plainer or clearer to me in my life that if I want to uphold my Hardcore legacy, I'm going to need to take it by force. See, I haven't turned on anyone. I've just realized that I need to be ready to take it as far as it'll go. And that's bad news for whoever is left standing with the Hardcore title... bad news for Johnny Bacchus, if he's feeling some type of way and wants to trot his little ass down here to say something to me... and bad... BAD news... for everyone else in the All-In Ladder Match.Downfall lifts the crowbar up as if it's Excalibur for a moment, turning it slightly in the light as if seeing it clearly. Downfall: Please note, I don't "need this to win", but I'm walking in to situations where it's good and damn legal, and I'm not going to hold myself back from using the edge I need... because if I had hesitated a little less, been a little less kind, I would never have lost that World Title to Dandy Divito in the first place. This, right here, is my shot to start taking back what I've lost this year... and I am doing it in the name of the Vanguard. I haven't regressed... I've just decided this is the way to go forward.He turns to the crowd, voice dropping with intensity. Downfall: You can come along with me on that... or don't.He turns to the camera, staring with beady-eyed, black malice and delivering a final warning to everyone in the back. Downfall: But everyone in the back... if I was you, I'd stay out of the way of this.The crowd, uneasily, taken back by his vehemence, boos as Downfall exits the ring. Downfall turns, letting it wash over him, as he walks up the ramp, some of the crowd still booing loudly... The lights go out in the arena and the sound of a synth starts playing. “I CAN’T STOP!”
Billy: WHOAAAAA AND NOW HERE COMES THE WORLD CHAMPION!!The lights start to flash as “STOP” repeats over and over from different speakers in the arena as the beat starts to build and then it drops.
BOOM
A small explosion of gold fireworks goes off “I CAN’T STOP!”
The crowd in Memphis boos as the lights come back on and Gerard Angelo walks out on stage in a blue suit, the World Heavyweight Championship slung over his shoulder. He stops at the top of the ramp, surveying the booing masses from behind his Maybach sunglasses... Right to his left is Downfall holding that weapon. Angelo doesn't even look over at him as he adjusts the Championship on his shoulder and Downfall just stands there and stares at him. Angelo continues walking down the ramp as Downfall watches him for a few steps before heading towards the curtain.. Adilene Floyd: Everyone, please welcome the Action Wrestling World Champion, “The Living Legend”, Gerrrrrrard Angelooooooo!Billy: The World champ and his number one contender sure had some harsh words for each other last week.Chris Avery: It started with barbs tosses at each other last week and I have a feeling this is only gonna get more personal the closer we get to Uprising!He stops at the ring stairs and slaps the top step before climbing them, and walking to the center of the ring apron. Angelo surveys the arena crowd once more, holding up the World title again to another round of boos, before slipping through the middle and top rope into the ring. He steps over to the side and calls for a mic, which he is given. He steps over to the center of the ring and faces hard cam as his music fades out. Gerard Angelo: Memphis.The crowd predictively gives a pop to the mention of their city. Gerard Angelo: Take this opportunity to bask in my spotlight.He extends his arms out like a benevolent being as the fans shower him in boos. Gerard Angelo: Enough. Now last week you saw the high touted face-to-face between Lissie Hope and me. And I’ll be honest with you, it left me wanting. I guess I was expecting to hear something new, something original from Lassie. What we got was the same old schtick. The old reliable that this is “her time” and she so wants everyone to believe it this time. Lissie is like a terrible reboot of an even worse movie at this point. Just relying on callbacks that lost their meaning from the time they left the actor’s lips.The crowd boos. Gerard Angelo: In fact, it’s so terrible that I don’t even want to subject myself to a Lissie Hope match! I’m gonna leave! I already gave you rednecks the opportunity to see the greatest World Champion of all time in person. I fulfilled my obligations. I’m gonna go hang out on Beale Street. You enjoy watching Lissie Hope versus Tatiana Jolee. I’m sure that’ll be a barn burner.Gerry rolls his eyes and drops the mic as the crowd boos him. His music hits again and the champ steps out of the ring and walks up the ramp, ignoring the jeering crowd. We fade into a commercial.

Roman Gunn vs. VOID
The beginning of Rhinestone Eyes by Gorillaz hits the PA, as black and white images of biblically accurate angels flash on the ActionTron in time with the beat. Void walks out, entrance mask on. He kneels down on the ramp, bringing his left hand up to cover the portion of his face not covered by his mask. His right hand beats on his chest, once, twice, three times. Then, he gets up, removing his left hand from his face. He stares out at the audience as he walks down the ramp, but he doesn't seem to be seeing them. Adilene Floyd: Introducing, weighing in at 195 pounds, hailing from The Abyss, he is... Void! Reaching the ring, Void removes his mask. He climbs the stairs and, for the first time, seems to notice the crowd around him. He stares out at them and puts his hands out, at 45 degree angles from his sides. Void then mounts the turnbuckle. Looking skyward, he crosses his legs and enters the tree of woe position. He splays his arms out, under the second rope, then slowly brings them together, pointing across the ring, towards his opponent or the empty corner. Void pulls himself back up to the turnbuckle, Void jumps down to the mat, then sits cross legged in the corner, awaiting his opponent. Billy: Anoid the void! Chris Avery: Not a thing!The hook to Jesus Walks by Kanye West hits and the lights dim as a spotlight hits the curtain where Roman Gunn slowly walks through and raises his head to the sold out crowd. They all begin to boo as he stands perfectly still at the top of the ramp and stares out at the disgusting people below him. Adilene Floyd: From Miami, Florida.. he's ROMAN! GUNN! Roman walks down the ramp looking to his left as everyone continues booing him but then he looks to the right and it's much of the same story. He turns towards the steel steps and gets onto the apron but before entering the ring he sets his foot back down on the apron and stares back out at the crowd. They just flip him off and continue booing. He finally steps through the ropes and walks over to the far corner and puts both hands on the top turnbuckle tapping it twice and then pulling himself up to the middle turnbuckle rope and slowly raising his arms into the air. The crowd boos as Roman begins to trash talk the crowd back. He finally steps off the middle turnbuckle ropes and the lights go back to normal as the music slowly fades. Billy: AND THERE GOES ROMAN GUNN! He just launched himself across the ring and is all over Void!Roman speared Void before the bell even rung and then began putting the absolute boots to him. Finally the ref is able to back him off and gives Void time to get back to his feet. With Void pulling himself away from the ropes, he signals he’s ready to go and the referee calls for the bell.. Chris Avery: And we’re officially underway and both men sprint toward each other…SPEAR! A second spear! God did you see the way Void’s head bounced off the back of the mat?!Gunn picks Void up and sends him off the ropes before picking him back up and spiking him into the mat with a nasty spinebuster. He immediately gets Void back up and then sends him down with a muscle buster. Billy: Roman Gunn is absolutely ON ONE right now! He isn’t giving Void a dang SECOND to breathe!Right on cue, Gunn sends Void to the corner and follows him in with a big splash. Gunn mounts the second rope and then hammers Void’s head with right hands. Gunn stalls before the tenth one as the crowd counts and as Gunn pauses, the crowd boos him. Just as he does, Void is able to snap to for a moment and carries the larger Gunn out of hte corner on his shoulders for a powerbomb and…. Chris Avery: NO! Gunn with the nasty right hands from the top and Void falls backwards with Gunn now mounted on his chest and still hammering those right hands. Gunn stops for a moment to reach back and hook the leg.ONE! TWO! THKICKOUT from Void! Billy: Barely! He looks like he’s still out!Gunn gets back up and then gives Void the time and space to get back to his feet. He’s measuring him up as Void struggles to get up. Chris Avery: Not another spear…C’mon…The moment Void gets to his feet Gunn absolutely PULVERIZES him with a SuperMan Punch. Billy: THE FINAL SHOT!The impact was so great, it didn’t knock him down but launched him backwards into the ropes and as he came back toward Gunn, the beefy boi met him with a boot to the gut and then drove him THROUGH the mat with a sitout powerbomb. Chris Avery: AND THE DECIDER! INTO A PIN!ONE! TWO! THREE! Billy: Wooooweeee, Roman Gunn’s a-blazing!Chris Avery: That’s it and that’s all folks, Roman Gunn just sent a message to everybody in the back about taking him seriously.Roman asks for Tobias to step into the ring with his special glove.. Billy: Oh come on now!Tobias hands it to him and Roman puts the glove on and straps it tight. Void is barely even moving and Roman stretches in the corner and flexes the glove.. Billy: DO NOT!Chris Avery: OH NO!Void kneels up and Roman runs over and SUPERMAN PUNCHES VOIDS FACE OFF HIS HEAD!! Billy: OH MY GOD!!Chris Avery: HES DONE! HES OUT COLD! VOID IS A GONER!Roman starts to hype himself up as Tobias is pleading for Roman not to do it again.. Medical officials get into the ring as Roman yells "I'm not done tonight! I'm NOT DONE TONIGHT!"Chris Avery: We need to take a commercial break!

Whoa! What is This!?
We cut to the backstage area where we see a panicked, extremely concerned Gloria screaming for help at the top of her lungs. In no time officials and backstage producers come running to the source of the screaming. She leads them to her husband who is laying in a pool of his own blood with Elijah Martin standing over the prone body of the former Hardcore Champion. Billy: Oh my God!!! What a heinous attack from Elijah Martin!The officials are quick to try to pull Elijah away from Cedrone. Elijah pulls his arm away from the officials and threatens to backhand him if they don’t unhand him. They back off of him but turn their focus to solely on Cedrone. One of the officials calls for medics. The camera picks up on Elijah’s facial expression. Chris Avery: Look at that sadistic smile on Elijah!Gloria is knelt down beside her bloodied husband. Elijah kneels down on the other side. She cowers back a little Elijah: Oh. I’m not gonna hurt you. He looks a little hurt though. What a shame.Elijah gives a little chuckle Elijah: Let’s see him wrestle his way out of this one.Elijah slowly stands back up and exits the scene. The scene fades to black with medics arriving to the scene.

"Urban Guerilla" Kano vs. RONAN the Cleaner
"A Looking In View" booms over the PA as the stage and ramp area fill with thick fog that obscures most vision. As the song plays on, Ronan's silhouette can be seen passing through its center. He climbs the steps to heavy boos and steps through the ropes, staring emotionless towards the entrance. Billy: Ronan on his own here tonight!Chris Avery: Dandy is probably trying to sweet talk a deal with Pasternak still!GOD Firing Squad hits. Red and white lights flash as smoke fills the entrance way. After the click click and a gunshot, Kano walks out and struts to the rhythm of the music. Wearing his ring attire, he dawns a camo jacket and some dog tags around his neck. He has black sunglasses on, a bandana covering the bottom part of his face. The Urban Guerilla makes a pistol gesture at the camera. He pulls it back and starts to jump down the ramp as the lights continue to flash. He gives the fans a crotch chop as he continues to strut and dance with the song. The sirens sound and he takes off his glasses, revealing a psychotic look in his eye. Once Kano reaches the ring he slides under the bottom rope and squats in front of the camera. He makes the pistol gesture again, this time with both hands and sways back and forth to the music. DING DING DING Kano shoots across the ring and hits a shotgun dropkick to the chest of Ronan sending him into the turnbuckles! Billy: WHOA!! THE DEBUTING KANO WITH A BIG TIME DROPKICK!!Ronan pulls himself out of the turnbuckles and Kano spears him back into the turnbuckles and hits uppercuts and forearms! Chris Avery: Ronan is trying to get out of this!Kano hits a headbutt to the head of Ronan and then he lifts Ronan up to a seated position onto the turnbuckles! Billy: What does Kano have in store here!?Kano climbs up to the middle turnbuckles and hits a Frankensteiner off the turnbuckles! Billy: Ohhhh doggie, that was dope!Chris Avery: Yes it was!!Kano gets to his feet as Ronan gets right back up and charges at Kano but Kano moves and lets Ronan crash into the turnbuckles shoulder first! Ronan stumbles back and Kano hits Gun Stun Cutter! Billy: DOA!!Kano covers! One! Two! Three! DING DING DING Billy: KANO WINS IN HIS DEBUT!! HE JUST BEAT RONAN!Ronan rolls out and is FURIOUS but Kano gets up and poses in the middle of the ring! Chris Avery: The Urban Guerilla with a big time debut win right here on Clash!Billy: The Honolulu, Hawaii superstar is well on his way to the top with matches like that!Kano is walking up the ramp as the crowd continues to boo and the music is blasting.. Billy: Dandy isn't going to be happy about Ronan losing here!Chris Avery: We'll have to find out!We fade to a commercial.

Backstage With Downfall!
Scene switches backstage to show Downfall, sitting in the stairwell leading to the parking garage. He came here from the ring, and while he didn't get an unexpected reaction from the crowd, you can tell he is weighing it in his mind. Washed in red light from the Exit sign over his head, and yet he has the crowbar firmly clenched in his hand. He hears a footstep approaching from off-camera, and he looks up. Dionysus: So. What you did last week. Was it worth it?Downfall, already annoyed that he spoke his mind out in the ring, gestures and starts to blurt something heatedly, but Dionysus waves that off. Dionysus: Not what you said out there, about the Hardcore title and your reasons for screwing Johnny Bacchus over. I mean. Your reasons... for picking up that.Downfall looks down, but a surly scowl crosses his face and he twists the crowbar in both hands. Dionysus: We were going to be above this shit. As the Vanguard. We were supposed to be the good guys. The guys who fought hard, but fought the right way.Downfall stands, dripping with menace as he doesn't let go of the crowbar. Downfall: You think I'm trying to throw away everything we worked for? Dion... I value what you and I did. Nobody else but us left the mark we did on the Tag division.But it's time to wake up. I am seeing weakness start to build. Cracks start to form. We lost multiple shots this year that we should have won - That I should have had in the bag. And this...
He raises the crowbar into eye view. Downfall: Would have gotten us there. If I was just smashing people's heads in with this like I did to Bacchus last week... would Johnny have gotten a pinfall over me before? When Regan and Jill screwed me over? No. Because he wouldn't have been moving.Dionysus: Jesus, Daniel... Downfall: Would I have gotten tossed out of Havoc, if I wasn't trying to present myself as a ruthless, unstoppable juggernaut and yet withholding the one weapon in my arsenal that would have made those words real? Would you and I have walked out of Evolution without our Tag Team titles, if I had just stopped trying so hard to be a morally upright, shining example and just beat Lissie Hope's head in? Hell...His eyes narrowing, he looks Dion in the eye, judging. Downfall: If I was down here a few weeks ago, instead of letting you fall to Cashe's finisher... if I had taken the crowbar in hand then and beaten him until he was twitching, wouldn't you finally have that win over Cashe you've been wanting-Dionysus, tired of this line of thinking, snaps on him. Dionysus: You really think I'd want something like that? To throw all that away just for a win?!Downfall grimaces a little, trying to get him to understand. Downfall: I'm not throwing away what we fought for. I am redefining how far I wanna go to fight for it. Why can't you see that? Dionysus: What I see is a guy who is regressing back to when he was nothing more than a lackey for a deranged lunatic. I see a guy who kept caving my skull in week in and week out, to the point where I have to train to even remember what happened the week before. You reaching for that as your first instinct? It means you're slipping back into your old ways. They weren't working then.Downfall: No you don't get it, Dion... because I don't intend to let things like that slip away from me because I'm holding back from it anymore.Dionysus: You're not holding back when you're moving ba-Downfall: If you're too scared, say that. I'm willing to be the bad guy for both of us.Dionysus: When did you need that thing when you won the Turmoil tournament? Or when you succeeded in capturing the world championship? Or when we went two-hundred and eighty-eight days as tag team champions? Do you genuinely think I'm afraid of you when you're clutching that thing?Downfall doesn't have an answer for that, but his face has a stubborn cast that shows he isn't arguing the point. Dionysus: Then we won't have much to talk about, until you remember what our mission statement was.Downfall smirks, but looks at the crowbar, not at Dion. Downfall: I remember full well what my mission statement is. Always.Dionysus holds his hand up, fingers curling as if he was about to extend his hand out, but then he curls his fist up and retracts it. He just motions like he can't deal with this tonight. Dionysus: You want to break kneecaps? That's on your hands. Don't think I'm gonna come to your defense when you get what's coming to you.Downfall nods coldly, shrugging a little. Dion sighs, and walks off. Downfall sinks back to the steps, brooding a little... but you can see him calculating his actions, and deciding he's on the right side of this. The camera switches back to ringside.

Marcus Collins vs. Niobe Martin
As the opening of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play over the arena, a video flashes on the big screen of a camera shot panning up a grassy hill at night, slowly until it gets to the top. Panning from left to right, lighting flashing in the sky as the opening guitar riff begins to sound. Adeline Floyd: "Introducing to the ring from Anaheim, California, weighing in at one hundred twenty five pounds and standing five feet, seven inches tall! She is the "Nightmare", NIOBE MMAARRTTIINN!!!" The video on the screen then switches to a video package of Niobe in the ring, flashing and moving in time with the drum beat. "Nightmare! Now your nightmare comes to life.." Niobe comes running out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp briefly to extend her arms out to the sides as a blast of pyro goes off on either side of her. "Dragged you down below... Down to the devils show... To be his guest forever... Peace of mind is less than never.." As the lyrics of the song continue to play, she drops her arms and walks down the ramp, a smirk on her face as she sneers at the crowd as she passes before sliding under the bottom rope of the ring. She stands up and throws off the hood of her jacket, glaring at the crowd with a smirk on her face. Adeline Floyd: And her opponent… Demigods ring out and plays for the first few moments before Marcus slowly walks onto the stage in his wrestling gear, band shirt with cut off sleeves, and a gray jean vest with electric purple logo on the back. He pauses at the foot of the ramp and looks around at everyone who attended the event. He slowly starts to make his way down the ramp, still looking around his surroundings to appreciate the moment. He hops up onto the apron, enters through the 2nd and 3rd, and makes his way to his corner and sits on the top rope awaiting the bell. Adeline Floyd: Marcus “The Reaper” Collins. Billy: Two new guys taking each other on in their respective debuts tonight.Chris Avery: A guy and a girlBilly: It’s a figure of speech, Avery.Chris Avery: Go Eat a Taco!Marcus Collins circles Niobe Martin like a predator circling its prey. Chris Avery: Collins looks incredibly focused.Billy: Like a Hunter!BANG! The Reaper charges and absolutely FLATTENS Martin with a devastating lariat. Martin spins tits-up, and lands on her head from the monumental impact. Collins picks her up like a rag doll and DRIVES her down into the mat with a brutal powerslam. Billy: MY ASCENSION!Collins just about decapitates Niobe Marton with a cutter neckbreaker! ONE! TWO! THREE! Chris Avery: What a quick and dominant victory on debut by The Reaper.Billy: Looks like Niobe just wasn’t prepared.We fade to a commercial!

Jack Daniels vs. Elijah Martin
The music hits, and it blasts throughout the speakers. Out walks from the back with his face facing away from the leans showing his back first. He slowly turns with a rose being placed in his mouth. He walks towards the ring observing the whole arena around him. Walking up the steps he stops at the ring post right on the apron wiping his feet before entering. Chris Avery: We already saw Martin leave Cedrone in a pool of blood earlier!A ring of fire appears at the top of the entrance way in the midst of a blackout in the arena, as “The Other Side” by Alter Bridge hits the speakers. About 30 seconds into the song, Elijah Martin slowly rises through the ring of fire in a full length black jacket, purple and black wrestling tights and all black leather wrestling boots. Once he completes his rise to the stage, Elijah takes a few steps out of the fire ring and into a purple spotlight. Then the beat drops and as Martin extends his arms out to embrace the hatred from the fans, a set of pyro goes off and the fire extinguishes behind him. Elijah makes the slow, methodical walk to the ring, eventually climbing the ring steps and stepping inside the squared circle. As another purple spotlight shines in the middle of the ring, Martin steps in and after a few seconds, extends his arms again and pyro goes off from the ring posts, causing the house lights to finally come up. DING DING DING Daniels comes flying at Martin but Martin lays him out! Billy: OHHH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!Chris Avery: ITS OVER!!Martin pins! One! Two! Three!

Street Fight Robby Bigg Dick vs. Jessie Lee
Robby Bigg Dick is dragging a trash can down the ramp! Billy: Hey! Welcome back to Monday Night Clash and you know what time it is!Chris Avery: It's a street fight! RBD is back in action and tonight he's facing off against Jessie Lee!RBD gets into the ring after throwing the trash can into the ring and he awaits! ONE FINGER AND A FIST, I'll CLAW MY WAY OUT OF ANY SITUATION! I GOT A 1 2 PUNCH I'll FIGHT MY WAY OUT OF ANY CONFRONTATION! While the unmistakable sound of Drowning Pools' One Finger and a Fist pumping throughout the arena, the various lights began to swirl and move about at a frantic pace. Yet, it was the alarmingly fierce-looking woman that walked out onto the Revolution1 stage that drew the attention of the fans. Clad in black leather and a mean look in her eyes, the woman stood at the top of the ramp; hands tagging on the inside of the black studded vest she wore. Adilene Floyd: "Making her way to the ring from Perth, Western Australia......the Aussie Assault....Jessie Lee!" With the announcement of her name, the pugilist powerhouse descends down the rampway and proceeds to circle around the ring as she interacts with various fans along the way. Until she shifts her gaze to the ring, that is. With a sudden burst of speed, she slides into the ring and springs up to her feet; talking a metric ton of trash as she haphazardly throws her vest to the outside of the ring. Clearly, this Aussie was here to fight Billy: Look out!DING DING DING Lee puts her hands up and blocks the cookie sheet and then kicks RBD into the stomach and throws him shoulder first into the ring post! RBD falls to the apron through the ropes and tries to get up and Lee has the cookie sheet and puts it against RBD and then dropkicks it in a second and knocks RBD off the apron! Billy: Whoa, what a dropkick combo there!Chris Avery: Impressive!Lee rolls out of the ring and has a steel chair and grips it tight and swings it but RBD moves and Lee slams the chair against the ring post! Lee drops the chair and RBD kicks her in the stomach! He grabs her and lifts an arm and slams her down on the outside with a suplex! Billy: What a suplex!RBD gets up and reaches into the ring and grabs the trash can as Lee is trying to get back to her feet and RBD smashes the trash can onto her head! Chris Avery: Thats a shot!Lee stumbles down and RBD puts the trash can on the mats below. He grabs Lee and slams her down with a quick lift spinebuster onto the trash can! Billy: OUCH!Chris Avery: YA KNOW THAT CAN HURT!RBD pins her! One! Two! She kicks out! Billy: Lee has kicked out of that one!Chris Avery: This street fight continues!RBD pulls her up and rolls her into the ring and RBD grabs the steel chair and slides it into the ring! Billy: Whats he going for here?!RBD grabs the chair but Lee uppercuts him! RBD drops the chair and stumbles back and Lee has the chair now! Billy: Look out!RBD is smashed into the ribs by the edge of the chair and she slams it on the back of RBD sending him down! Chris Avery: DAMN!Lee puts the chair down and slams RBD onto it with the LEEthality! Billy: LEETHATLITY!!Chris Avery: OH MAN!!She rolls him over and pins! One! Two! Three! DING DING DING Billy: Lee wins the street fight!Chris Avery: She's just as dangerous and badass as always!Billy: And ya know she still has her sights on Singh too! He didn't get that #1 contendership on the up and up for that Hardcore title!Chris Avery: You're right! That's fair!Lee gets out of the ring and is walking up the ramp to a commercial break.

Through the Grapevine featuring Alice Gemini & Jill Park
Chris Avery: Welcome back to Monday Night Clash!Adriene Floyd: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the host of Through the Grapevine, Dionysus! The stage was decorated with a large garden arch wreathed in grapevines, two waist-high columns on either side with microphones waiting on either side, and a red velvet carpet coming from backstage. As “I Heard it Round and Round the Grapevine” was playing, Dionysus not only walked out, but danced out, wearing his signature blue suit and holding a microphone in his hand. Billy: Well he seems to be in much better spirits than earlier, Chris.Chris Avery: You have to wonder what is going through his head, though; taking a big loss from Jason Cashe, not being a part of All-In, and now getting caught up with Downfall’s recent attack?Billy: But all that aside, the show should be exciting to watch!Chris Avery: You said it; this will be the first time in a while, or even the first time ever, that we have had a wrestler-hosted show here on Clash!Dionysus turned to face the set, nodding in approval, before turning back to the crowd and lifting the microphone. Dionysus: GOOOOOD EVENING MEMPHIS!!!The crowd cheered in response to their town being mentioned. Because of course they would. Dionysus: Welcome one and all to Through the Grapevine! Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Dionysus, you living leprechaun, you’re just gonna use this to trash everyone that comes on here, right?” And you would be WRONG! This show is all about highlighting and showcasing anyone and everyone on the roster, good, bad, or ugly. No offense, Billy.The crowd laughed. Billy: HEY!Dionysus chuckled. Dionysus: And we’ve got a hell of a first show for you all! These two have been at each other’s throats the last several weeks, even after being able to co-exist in their tag match last week! Now with the two facing a high stakes match with everything on the line, we’ll find out where their minds are at, as I ask them the hard-hitting questions you all want to hear! Dionysus: …Approved by corporate, of course.The crowd laughed. Dionysus gestured to the entrance. Dionysus: Well lets go ahead and bring them out! Introducing first, your current United States champion, one half of Affluenza, and a woman who breaks more ankles than Allen Iverson, give it up for Jill Park!“Cannibal” starts to play as Jill Park enters through the archway. Dionysus holds out a hand for a handshake, which Jill accepts, albeit reluctantly. He directed Jill to grab a microphone off of one of the columns and having her stand next to him on stage right. Dionysus: And our second guest, your current Womens Champion, an up-and-comer making waves in the company and leaving everyone to ask “was that the goth girl that used to work at starbucks, no not that one,” please welcome Alic-Before “Reinventing Evil” could start playing, Alice Gemini stormed out, shouting at Jill and trying to get in her face. Dionysus stood between the two, pushing them both back and pointing to either side of the stage. Alice angrily swiped a microphone off the other column, standing on stage left. Dionysus: Look ladies, I get things are heated between you two, but-Alice Gemini: Don’t you give me that crap! What’s the deal with those introductions?! You must think you’re sooo funny, huh? Probably the only one too, how sad.Dionysus: Well that’s not entirely true. My mother thinks I’m funny too.Crowd: MA-MA’S BOY! MA-MA’S BOY! Dionysus: AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!The audience cheered as both Jill and Alice rolled their eyes. Dionysus: I could keep vamping, but that would make the advertisers angry, so lets start with you, Jill. Your match next week will not only be for a spot in All-In, but also a winner-take-all match, pitting your United States Championship against Alice’s Women’s Championship. As the United States Champion, how important is this match for you?Jill Park: This match is about the United States title. It’s about the Women’s title. But even still, it’s about so, so much more. Alice, as I look at you, I don’t see the reputation you’ve built.You want people to fear you. I get it, I really do. You’re biggest accomplishment to date is making Serenity Holmes into a dramatic, emotional mess, due to your mind games. That’s really your strength, isn’t it? Mind games?
There’s one thing I want to make crystal clear to you, Alice. I’m not some fucking rookie. Everyone in the back may like to think of me as such, but I’m far and away from such a designation. I’ve competed in two Havoc rumbles. I’ve challenged for the World Heavyweight Championship. I have been in All In. Just a couple of months ago, I dispatched THREE competitors in three separate matches in one night to gain the United States Championship.
Are you going to sit here and think, for even a brief moment, that you’re going to take it from me with mind games?
I hear you like to call yourself the “Brutal Bitch”. Is that right? Nicknames are cute. I hope, for your sake, you live up to the moniker. Make no mistake about it, Alice. In one week’s time, we are going to step into this very ring, and we are going to go to war. Truly, only the best woman will walk out with these two Championships. The recognition of being a double Champion. Something only a handful of people could lay claim to. Something truly historic.
Are you ready for this war, Alice?
Because I can tell you, without hesitation, that I am. I am ready to walk into Monday Night Clash next week, and go to war with you. I am prepared to put you down, and put you out, if necessary. In another life, perhaps we could’ve been allies; friends, even.
However, that’s not going to happen. And one week after that, we have Uprising. We will both venture into a one in a lifetime opportunity. We’ll be banged up, beaten up, and hurt.
And I can promise you that it is everything I could ever want. If you don’t come prepared for me, I’ll end you, Alice. You’ll be nothing more than a stepping stone on my way to the World title.Dionysus: An incredibly strong statement from the woman who not so many months ago was used as a stepping stone for Carter Shaw. Now Alice, same question; as the current Womens Champion, how important is this match for you? Alice Gemini: It means everything to me. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare as you know and to be a part of something like this at such a young age is iconic, if I do say so myself. And WHEN I win this match I'll be holding 2 Championships at 22 years old, how perfect!
Everything has been perfect since I won the Women's championship, I've been Unstoppable and nothing Jilly over there or anyone else can say to me to prove that isn't true.
I have no plans of slowing down now and not only will I be Alice two belts, I'll also win at All-in and eventually have three Championships.
The reward for beating down and pinning Jill is massive right now, so this match really does mean everything to me.Dionysus: A short, sweet, and “perfect” response! Lets hope that perfection carries through here. Moving on, Alice, say you win next week. You’re added to All-In, competing against some of the best Action Wrestling has to offer. What is your strategy to win All-In?Alice Gemini: Strategy? Hon, why on earth would I tell everyone in the match that? I mean, this blonde bitch is literally right there listening! Dionysus: Most would probably think you’re lying about that anyway, but-Alice Gemini: How about this, 'in what fashion will you win the match?' That's a better question to ask me.Dionysus rolled his eyes. Dionysus: …Sure, why not? In what fashion will you win the match?Alice Gemini: Well, I'll take out every other opponent. Simple as that, right? You take everyone out and you win. Or maybe I should hide somewhere the entire match and wait until there's one person left climbing the ladder. I won't do that though because I AM the Brutal Bitch. I always back up that name and Jill's going to find that out twice in very quick succession.Trust me, I especially plan on hurting this bitch so bad that I stack her on top of fucking Serenity Holmes and use them as extra rungs of the god damn ladder.Dionysus: …I think you’re missing the point of next week’s match, but alright Alice. Now Jill, same question; you win next week, you’re in the All-In match. What are you going to do to win? What’s your strategy? Jill Park: I’ve been here before. Last year, I stole the damn show at Uprising, just like I always do. Kyle Kemp escaped with the briefcase, and we all seen what happened, just one month later. He became World Champion. That’s what this match is all about. An opportunity of a lifetime. You win that briefcase, and you got a shot, whenever the hell you feel like it. Cash in. Win the World Title. Make yourself famous.
It’s so cliche, but I would do anything to win All-In, and believe me when I say anything. It is the biggest opportunity anyone could possibly wish to attain. Given that it will be only seven days removed from the war we will descend on next week, that will make me all the more vulnerable. Which means I’ll be that much more desperate, and also, that much more determined. One year ago, CJ Phoenix screwed me out of my rightful coronation, at the top of this company.
It won’t happen again. Dionysus: Wow, that determined to-Jill Park: Won’t. Happen. Again.
The crowd “ooo-ed” at that statement as Jill stared coldly into Alice’s eyes, daring her to do something. Dionysus: Well lets see what else you-Chris Avery: LOOK OUT!Without any time to react, Alice ran past Dionysus trying to tackle her to the ground. Jill stood her ground, clasping her hands together and driving axe handle after axe handle into Alice’s back. Eventually her footing slipped and the two women were on the ground, taking turns punching each other and pulling on hair. Once the women hit the ground, Dionysus called for security as he attempted to pull the two women apart. Once security arrived however, he backed off, allowing them to do their work separating the two. He ran his fingers through his hair and picked up a microphone from off the floor. Dionysus: …Well I didn’t exactly say it would be a clean first show, but that’s all the time we seem to have. Tune in next week where-
Jill and Alice managed to break free from security, knocking over pieces of the already bare set as they brawled on the stage. Dionysus: *sigh* where hopefully I’ll have more of a budget for a set. Billy: We had a feeling this was going to get physical!!Chris Avery: And we just heard!! Next week, the Championship for Championship match, the FIRST TIME EVER.. WILL BE THE MAIN EVENT!!Billy: SHITFIRE CHRIS!! THIS IS INSANE!!We fade to a commercial.

OxC vs. The Heritage
Our Lady Peace hits the airwaves and the crowd boos as James Payne comes straight out from behind the curtain and stops on the stage and fixes his wrist tape. As he's doing so, Cousin Harper stands directly behind Payne but a foot to the left of him and slowly raises both arms up into the air. Harper grabs the shoulders of Payne and the duo begin to come down the ramp. Adilene Floyd: From the greatest country in the world, Canada... James Payne, Cousin Harper, they are .. THE HERITAGE! Payne gets onto the apron and goes straight to the turnbuckle climbing up to the middle rung and throwing his hands out as Cousin Harper reaches up and grabs the top rope pulling himself up to the apron and over the ropes into the ring. Cousin Harper spins around and a small red pyro blasts from the ring apron behind them as Payne is still taunting on the turnbuckles and Harper raises both arms into the air in the ring. The crowd continues to boo as Payne gets into the ring. Billy: They've been a menacing duo over on CruiserClash assisting Bryan Blaze their new leader!Chris Avery: The two time Cruiserweight Champion has his finger on the pulse, him and Jolee along with the Heritage have been quite the stable as of late!The opening chords of "Walk" by Pantera roll through the arena as Odin Balfore and Jason Cashe appear from the back. At the edge of the stage where it connects to the entrance ramp, Odin lifts both arms as Jason Cashe stands in front of him puffing twice on an air joint before throwing his arms out at his sides. The two head to the ring, Cashe jogging as Odin slowly strolls. Cashe leaps up onto the ring apron using the stairs and runs the outside apron as Odin reaches up, grabs the ropes and pulls himself up onto the ring apron. Both enter the ring, Cashe through the middle ropes, Odin climbing over the top. The two were ready to compete. Billy: Ohhh man did you hear that pop!Chris Avery: THE CBS Champion and the Odin Balfore, who has almost every accolade known to man to his name are here to do one thing; mess some ISH up!DING DING DING Cashe and Paine starts out with Payne getting the upperhand and he hits a strike before locking the arm, twisting it around, spinning Cashe around into a side headlock! Billy: Payne has him twisted up!Cashe shoves Payne to the ropes but he hangs onto them as Cashe lays out on the canvas for Payne to leapfrog over but Payne laughs cause Cashe is laying there. Payne runs and charges at him for a front flip splash but Cashe moves and Payne lands on his back! Chris Avery: Swing and a miss!Cashe gets up as Payne scurries over to the corner and tags in Harper and Cashe just laughs and looks at his big fucking tag partner.. Odin smiles and nods and takes the tag. Harper and Odin step to each others face and Harper hits a headbutt to the face of Odin! He hits a strike! He hits a kick to the knee and then steps back and hits a boot to Odin in the chest! He hits the ropes and comes back with a lariat! Billy: AND NONE OF IT DID ANYTHING TO ODIN!Odin just raises both arms into the air and then flexes them down and the crowd pops! Harper hits the ropes in frustration and bounces back for another strike but Odin catches him by the throat.. Payne jumps off the middle turnbuckle and Odin catches his bitch Canadian ass by the throat too.. Chris Avery: OH NO!!Billy: ODIN HAS THEM UP!!And Odin chokeslams both of them down onto the canvas!! Billy: MY GOODNESS!!The crowd is jumping up and down and everyone is going crazy! Cashe gets in and looks over at Odin as Payne is standing up.. Odin picks up Payne for a one handed spinebuster and Cashe catches him into a BACKSTABBER!! Billy: OHHH WHAT A COMBO!!Harper stumbles up and Cashe from behind, lifts Harper up into an Electric Chair as Odin comes rushing in, hitting hos Sleipnir Clothesline from 'Hel' flipping Harper off of Cashe's shoulders, landing on their neck or completely flipping over onto their stomaches.! Chris Avery: SLEIPNIRS JOURNEY!!Odin puts his boot on the chest of Harper.. One! Two! Three!

Hardcore Championshipppppp
We open outside "Skull" in Yokohama, startup of the young and ambitious restauranteur Masuda Teijin. A shot cuts from the outside to where he sits across Stephen Singh while the Hardcore Championship sits between them at the head of that small squared-off mahogany table. Masuda: You actually accepted the invitation. It's not like most of this roster to jump skip the Pacific and meet a foe for dinner in another country. I also understand the constraints because I, unlike most of the same, hold dual-citizenship. Yokohama is my home away from home, and the place that made me the man I am today.Singh watches as the waiters bring an amuse bouche: rare oma tuna filet, pink salmon roe and aged saki glaze. Masuda bids him to try first. Singh: There's a lot of things I do that aren't like most of the roster, Medusa. And since I'm your guest, I'll be honest with you here: this is as much reconnaissance as recreation, buddy. You invite me to a place that made you the man you are today, I'm gonna at least come take a peek before we're standing across from each other in that ring.Masuda: Let the roe pop, and then, and only then, should you enjoy the supple bluefin. You know, they're protected year-round. Getting this took time and pricey auction.Singh: Protected, huh? Kind of like champions are? Usually insulated from predators and left swatting away minnows like John Black and Jessie Lee. But with enough effort, your champion Bluefin can be caught.Masuda: Yeah, but it’s worth it, isn’t it? Then you get real observers. Real gastronomical reviews. I stopped making food... for now I reinvent it one dish at a time. Singh: "Making" and "creating" is a fallacy anyways. We’re at the ass-end of humanity, creativity is a glorified human centipede at this point. Everything people tout as creation is just reinvention.Masuda: Agreed. It's exactly how I approach the Hardcore Title. You have to make sacrifices; likewise, we have to catch and slaughter to make good meat. Then we display ourselves in the hopes of reaching the stars. Only then can I truly feel that my work has finished on this planet. So yes, the Hardcore Title is my final opus in AW.Singh: It doesn't make two squirts of monkey's piss difference to me if this is your first, last, or only opus, Mr. Holland. There's no more refrain; I'm here now to play your elegiac coda. A second dish arrives: hamachi tuna sushi rolled with capers, daikon and light soy for a glaze over a yellow seaweed wrapping. They eat the single bite with intensely distant stares at one another. Masuda, however, remains ice cold in his expression. Singh: It’s all seaweed.Teijin closes his eyes, lost in the culinary experience. Singh: I fly over the Pacific and you feed me something that tastes like dirty water. Shit's blander than one of your promos.Masuda: People only taste the seaweed. But sushi is about the one bite story. Like a sniper shot.Singh: Now you’re talking umami as a bullet?Masuda: Yeah, one shot to shock the mind. The rest, the speeches, all these drug out diatribes are ornaments for the match. Because it isn't brave to embellish.Singh: Don't subtweet me to my face and call it brave, champ.They chew on that for a moment as the main course arrives. Somehow, despite the pomp of what arrived first, this dish arrives like a presidential motorcade: This one delivered personally by the head chef, his entire staff and every host in-toe. Silvery chargers follow with these brilliant tea sets. Each cup poured with artisanship as the plates arrive looking smaller than the actual tea saucers. Singh: What's this?Masuda: Something no mortal dares.Singh: James Nightingale, is that you? I’m all for showmanship but take it down like seven notches here, mook, you’re wading into “Scary Sushi to Eat in the Dark” territory here.He motions for the unveiling of two small filets with a subtle golden hue. Each serving prepared as a masterful cut worthy of a museum. Singh: Umm... that's not a meal. Masuda: It is if it's your last.Singh: BUM BUMM BUMMMMMM! And probably a hard zoom on my shocked face? Have them add it in post or whatever.Masuda: Maybe it's the brain damage from all my years in AW. But the only time I feel alive is when the bell rings... and when someone serves me fugu.Singh looks directly to his host’s face, scanning for some hint of a bluff. Masuda, however, doesn't wait for his guest to have second thoughts when he pinches the tiny morsel with his chopsticks. Stephen watches the Hardcore champion chew and swallow. Was this guy for real? Masuda: That little tingle at the end. That's the whole story: your survival in the face of death. Perishing is for those who never dare to explode.He stands up and takes the belt, leaving Singh to decide his fate and that single bite goading death with an audience of awestruck cooks, waiters, and Action Wrestling camera crew. The smart thing to do is to push the plate away, stand up, and take a couple quick shots at Masuda. He shifts in his seat. The smart thing to do would have been to stay retired. To not come back to Action Wrestling. And certainly not to become what in this business would be considered an over-the-hill Hardcore contender. The smart thing sure seems to have a lot in common with the easy thing. Singh: Well…He holds the small filet up to his eyes with the chopsticks. Singh: Itadakimasu, I guess.With that, Singh’s eyes steel over and he pops the dangerous dish into his mouth, chews and swallows. He wordlessly stands up from the table. Gives the chef a playful slap on the arm, a nod to the wait staff, and a smirk to the camera before exiting the restaurant.

Thon Maker vs. Alexandra Calaway(c)
Generic hip hop trance music hits and Thon Maker comes out with his arms raised up into the air and he stops at the top of the stage.

Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Brooklyn, New York, The Professional Athlete, THON MAKER! He takes a few steps while she makes the introduction but stops when she screams his name and points to the sky with one hand.

The arena is filled with Red and lights and fog. The Silhouette of Alexandra can be seen at the top of the ramp. She poses on the top of the ramp and as the beat drops, she starts to make her way down the ramp, towards the ring. Stopping halfway down the ramp, she stops looking out over the crowd, before continuing on. She smirks seeing some of the signs people made, a cocky smirk crosses her face. R-R-Ready, aim, fire Baby, I'm about to blow I'm about to blow I'm about to Finishing her walk down the ramp, she climbs onto the ring apron and up onto the turnbuckle. She slips into the ring and poses on the ropes, leaning forward on the ropes, sometimes talking shit with people in front row as she waits for her opponent. DING DING DING! Thon charges over and hits a boot to Calaway sending her into the turnbuckles! Thon hits a back elbow! Another back elbow! Another back elbow! Billy: Thon is taking the match straight to her!Calaway is eating all the elbows and she stumbles out of the corner and Thon tosses her across the ring flipping her down onto the canvas!

Ash Blake vs. John Black
The lights goes out, and we hear the record scratching, then once "I get Real Raw" is heard JB comes out to the stage with the lights on as the song plays on the iron. Adeline Floyd: Introducing first, fighting out of Baltimore, Maryland! Weighing in tonight at 260 pounds, "Mr. Underground" JOHN BLACK!He then stands at the entrance way, looking at the crowd and walks down to the ramp and gives everyone some daps. Then he slides into the ring, and stands at the corner and taunts to everyone. Then he stands in the middle of the ring as his theme cuts off. Chris Avery: He's coming into this one on the heels of a tough loss for the Television Championship.Billy: But there's no better way to rebound than to knock off one half of the current Tag champs!The lights in the arena cut out as the opening notes of “The Death of Peace of Mind” begin to play over the P.A. On the Actiontron, a series of images and letters flash: the letter I, a match lighting a prayer candle, the letter N, a set of onyx rosary beads, the letter S, an illustration from John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” of Lucifer cast from Heaven, the letter U, a black balaclava being pulled over a face, the letter R, a sigil drawn on a concrete floor, the letter G, an illustration of Icarus plummeting to Earth, the letter E, bullets falling from the cylinder of a revolver, the letter N, a coat being pulled over shoulders, the letter T, a set of hands pulling on a single black leather glove, the letter S, a woman’s eyes, the letter I, the gloved hand wrapping around the handle of a baseball bat the letter A, two silhouetted figures As Noah Sebastian’s vocals begin, two spotlights hit opposite ends of the stage. Beneath one walks Ash Blake, dressed in an all-black suit and turtleneck. From the other side of the stage and under the second spotlight walks Johnny Bacchus, dressed in matching attire with a balaclava over his head and the black baseball bat draped over his shoulder. The lights go black once more, and with each hit of the echoing 808, the spotlights flash to reveal the pair approaching one another. Joined together under an icy blue spotlight, the pair look down the ramp towards the ring. Johnny reaches up to pull the balaclava off his head, and the two make eye contact before looking back. The lights explode in a strobe burst before coming fully on as the song kicks into its groove. Ash Blake starts walking down the ramp, diverting from their usual stroll together, as Johnny stays at the top of the entrance ramp. After taking a few steps, Johnny begins to follow Ash down the ramp, her eyes looking of steely determination. Adeline Floyd: And making her way to the ring, accompanied by Johnny Bacchus… weighing 125 pounds… ASH BLAKE!At the base of the ramp, they split off and circle the ring in opposite directions as the chorus of their theme explodes over the speakers. Once meeting at the opposite corner, they remove their coats and Johnny rests his bat against the ring steps. Only Ash Blake ascends the steel steps and Johnny stays behind, circling around the ring. Ash removes the turtleneck to reveal her ring attire beneath. Looking out over the crowd, Blake takes in the reaction. The official looks between the two competitors and calls for the bell. DING DING DING Both competitors approach each other at the sound of the bell, circling each other at the center of the ring. John Black is the first to engage, lurching forward to grapple Ash, who ducks under the attempt and hits the ropes behind him. On the rebound, however, John beats her to the punch, lifting a knee into Ash's midsection that doubles her over. Chris Avery: John Black not looking to waste any time here!He cinches in a front facelock, throwing Ash's arm around his neck before hoisting her up and sending her crashing back down to the canvas hard with a suplex! Ash winces as she reflexively rises to a seated position, clutching at the small of her back. John Black attempts to stay on the attack, grabbing her wrist and pulling Ash to her feet, but she slips her hand free of his grasp and throwing a forearm smash! Billy: Shitfire!John absorbs the shot but stands his ground. Ash rears back and delivers a second! A third! She follows up with a kick to the gut that John catches, but she brings her other leg up and connects right behind John Black's ear with an enzuigiri! Chris Avery: And this is why you can't ever get too comfortable in the ring against Ash Blake!John Black hits the mat on impact and Ash wastes no time, hitting the ropes and coming back with a running double foot stomp on the rebound, but Black rolls out of the way! Ash stumbles a little on the landing, reaching out for the ropes to steady herself as Black pushes himself back to his feet. Once on his feet, Black grabs Ash by the arm and whips her into the turnbuckles. Ash hits the turnbuckles hard and bounces off, stumbling forward out of the corner. Black rushes forward, swinging his arm back for a lariat — Ash ducks, trying to fall back into a bridge but stumbling, falling flat on her back. Chris Avery: We've seen this for almost a year now — Ash Blake's sense of coordination has been severely hampered ever since her match with Johnny Bacchus at last year's Execution!Black's eyes narrow at the sight of his grounded opponent, but he doesn't look the gift horse in the mouth and takes the opportunity to lay the boots into Ash's ribs. He reaches down and grabs Ash by the hair, pulling her to her feet. The referee admonishes him for the move; he raises his hands in a show of mock-surrender, before lifting Ash up into a Torture Rack! He wrenches the hold once, twice, thrice, before launching Ash off his shoulders, driving her face-first into the canvas with a DDT! Billy: Blacka Jacka! Shitfire!Shaking his head, Black goes for the cover. ONE! TWO! Kickout! Ash thrusts her shoulder up, rolling through onto her stomach and quickly pushing herself up to her feet. She offers a coy smile to her opponent, gripping her side in pain, and mouths "is that the best you got?" Chris Avery: She refuses to back down here!John Black sneers in response, before charging forward, looking for another lariat. Ash ducks, throwing herself at the ropes and springboarding off — catching Black off-guard with a diving crossbody! She hops back to her feet and scurries up the turnbuckle, gripping onto the rope to steady herself, before launching off with an imploding 450 Splash! Billy: Shitfire! Chris Avery: The Cottonwood Fall!Ash hooks the leg. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Ash shakes her head as Black powers out of the pinfall. She rises to her feet and backs away, eyes fixed on her opponent as he pushes himself back to a vertical base. Chris Avery: Some patience on display by one half of the tag team champions right here.Billy: She's gotta be when her partner's screaming for fully automated luxury space communism now.Chris Avery: Billy what the hell are you talking about?As John Black gets to his feet, Ash breaks into a dead sprint and hurls herself into him with a running shotgun dropkick! Black hits the mat hard and bounces back to his feet, hunched over and gripping the small of his back. Ash grabs him by the wrist and wrenches his arm, bringing his elbow down across her shoulder. Black clenches and unclenches his hand a few times to alleviate the newfound sting as Ash throws a kick into Black's sternum, balancing unsteadily on one leg. Chris Avery: Ash seems to be having a hard time keeping upright tonight.She throws another kick to the same spot, before grabbing onto her side once more. Billy: And those kicks to the ribs earlier seem to have done some damage!She throws a third kick, her knee buckling on impact. Ash stumbles to the mat, landing on all fours. Black, clutching his chest and breathing heavily, leans down to drag his opponent to her feet. He hoists her up, slinging her over his shoulders and looking for a Death Valley Driver! Chris Avery: He's looking for the Black List!Ash wriggles free of his grasp however, gripping him around the neck and wrapping her legs around his waist! She snakes one arm around John Black's arm and wrenches it hard with her other arm wrapped around his neck. She clasps her hands together as John Black falls to the mat. Billy: ICARUSWING!Chris Avery: She's got it locked in!John Black's free hand shakes. He grits his teeth. He lowers his hand towards the mat, trying his hardest to keep himself from submitting. Ultimately, however, his hand taps the mat three times. The official calls for the bell. DING DING DING Adeline Floyd: And your winner, Ash Blake!Ash releases the hold and rises to her feet. With little aplomb, she turns and exits the ring — both members of Insurgentsia make their way back up the ramp. Billy: Hardfought match here tonight!Chris Avery: A great effort by John Black, but he wasn't able to put it away!

Backstage with Addy!
Alexandra Calaway is in catering, sometime after her match with Thon Maker, she is filling her plate with the fruit. She is oblivious to room around her. Addy A walks through the double swinging doors of the cafeteria. A smile crosses her face upon noticing the current Action Wrestling Television Champion. Addy sneaks up behind her on her tiptoes. Addy shoves her in the back. Addy A: Boo bitch!Alexandra seems to be startled by the push, she drops her plate onto the buffet table. It was more likely from the shove than a scare. She turns around and stares straight into Addy's soul. She doesn't utter a word, Addy has a mischievous smile on her face. Addy A: Just wanted to say congratulations.Addy gives her a slow golf clap right in her front of her nose. Addy starts laughing her hyena like cackle, just being a bitch. Addy picks a banana off the table, and slowly peels the skins back before taking a large bite from it, chewing it open-mouthed in a deliberate disgusting act. She swallows her mouthful. Addy A: You did good tonight, girl. Real good, I got to give your ups that you beat a guy who can fly kick flies. Good job. But, on the real, if you face me, if you’re still the Television Champ at Uprising, you'll need to be better. And even if you are better you won’t be at the end of the night. The Title is coming home with me.Addy fakes a punch to the jaw of Alexandra Calaway who has been silently staring a hole through Addy the entire time. Calaway doesn’t flinch. Addy A: See ya, babes.Addy just walks off cackling to herself.

Joey Scala Is Not Fucking Dead
The scene opens up with Joey Scala sitting in front of the camera. Joey Scala: Holden, quit going around and telling everyone who would listen to your big dumb stupid fucking asshole mouth that we were brothers, we were more than friends. You kidding me you stupid bastard? We were not brothers, we were not friends. You wanted someone to take the fall cause you couldn't hold up your end of the bargain, you wanted someone to take the fall with your sugar Daddy Gerard Angelo, and you wanted someone to blame when you choked, choked, and choked and you couldn't hold a damn Championship.
Scala tilts his head to the camera. Joey Scala: And now look at you, you stinky piece of shit. You went somewhere small time and went and got yourself a jobber hardcore violent deathbed bathsalt cardboard Championship. Well, good for you. Cause it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter how much blood shed you spill in some other ring, or how much anger you let out on someone else, the fact of the matter is; I'm the one you want and I'm the one you'll never beat! You got lucky months ago, you barely escaped my hold. I lit you on fire.
I LIT YOU ON FIRE!Scala hops down and we see he was sitting on a casket somewhere in the back. The crowd pops as he runs his hand on the casket lid. Joey Scala: And at Uprising? I'm going to bury you. Not metaphorically. Not emotionally. No. Literally. I'm going to LITERALLY bury you, in this casket.Scala opens the lid. Joey Scala: Go ahead, take a look inside..The camera steps forward and dips inside and then steps back where Scala takes center stage in the lens still with the lid open. Joey Scala: You're going to die in there. I'm going to throw your fat limp ass into this Casket and then light it on fire and you're going to get buried. So this is what I want you to do.He closes the lid and jumps back up and sits on the casket. Joey Scala: I want you to take your Ultra violence hardcore fauxfighting pansy title and kiss it goodbye. I want you to grab your stickfigure fake ass bitchy meth-head girlfriend and kiss her on her crack pipe lips and kiss her goodbye on the morning of Uprising. Because you'll never see them again. In two Sundays, you will never see your friends, your family, or your stupid twitter followers ever again.Kiss the tweet clouts goodbye, my friend, the suite life of Holden Ross is over at Uprising. Scala hops back off and heads towards the camera lens with the most serious, intense look of his life. Joey Scala: IM GOING TO BURRRYYYYYY YOUUUUU!!The feed cuts out to a commercial.

Main Event Tatiana Jolee vs. Lissie Hope
Billy: Welcome back to our main event and we think we saw Mason Jones enter the arena!Chris Avery: And Gerard Angelo, the WORLD CHAMPION told us he left the arena at the top of the show!Billy: Oh boy, what a wild night!Adilene Floyd: The following is our MAIN EVENT, scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first...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. If they could see me now / smiling six-feet underground She notices signs of support in the front rows, and she acknowledges those young fans with high-fives. She sprints down the ramp, sliding under the bottom rope. She bounces to her feet and raises her arms to the crowd. You'll miss me when I'm not around 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 into front rows, watching the fans fight over the memorabilia. Climbing the corner to acknowledge the fans, the song fades to a hush and she awaits the opening bell. Chris Avery: What an ovation for the HEROINE, Lissie Hope!! She's well on her way to a huge date with Gerard Angelo at Uprising, and tonight she wants to keep momentum going!!Billy: Oh boy, I can't wait to see her thoughts about last night's episode of the Challenge from her! Her takes on who deserves to be eliminated are always so insightful, and -Chris Avery: Do you... really think someone gearing up for a main event match would give so much brain space to reality shows?Billy: Maybe some people don't have sticks up their proverbial peeholes and like to enjoy entertainment and the performing arts!Chris Avery: I don't... I don't have a stick up my....... my......The guitar opening of “Plowed” by Sponge begins to bellow out over the P.A system bringing the attention to the stage as the lights strobe as if in sync with the tempo of the song. Will I wake up, some dream I made up No, I guess it's reality What will change us, or will we mess up Our only chance to connect with a dream -KA-BOOM!- The fireworks explode off the top of the tron bringing the end to the strobes as a spotlight illuminates the figure of Tatiana Jolee standing there. Dressed in her blackout ring attire with matching boots and pads - her hair is pulled up in a bun and she has a black leather jacket with the Canadian flag on the back. Will I wake up, some dream I made up No, I guess it's reality What will change us, or will we mess up Our only chance to connect with a dream Say a prayer for me (Say a prayer for me) Say a prayer for me Say a prayer for me (Say a prayer for me) I'm buried by the sound Of a world of human wreckage In a world of human wreckage In a world of human wreckage Where I'm lost and I'm found, and I can't touch the ground I'm plowed into the sound To her side steps her manager, Ruby Goldhirsch dressed in a classy business savvy designer outfit, and after a nod to one another, the duo makes their way down the ramp to the ring. Adeline Floyd: “Making her way to the ring, accompanied by Ruby Goldhirsch - from Vancouver, British Columbia… TATIANA JOOOOOLEEEE!”To see wide open with a head that's broken Hang a life on some tragedy Plow me under the ground that covers The message that is the seed After a quick conversation with Ruby on the outside, TJ walks up the ring steps, gliding across the apron before entering the ring through the middle ropes. She gives the hard camera a smirk and a little wink while removing her jacket before settling into the corner to await the start of her match. Chris Avery: This is a huge test for Tatiana Jolee, who has been knocking on the door to main event status for a while now. One of our greatest Television champions... but in recent weeks, with her taking on Ruby Goldhirsch as a manager, and her alliance with the Heritage, we've seen a new ruthlessness, and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to win!Billy: A new ruthlessness and willingness to bend the rules... in America, maybe! But in Canada slash Europe, she is a paragon of virtue! ...Don't ask me how that works, I just assume it's because those are shitholes!Ruby and Tatiana exchange a look as the bell rings. Lissie takes a moment to light-footedly skip on the balls of her feet. Tatiana extends her hand to Lissie, who warily takes it. Tatiana and Lissie lock eyes for a good, long moment. But then, Tatiana pulls Lissie in for a forearm shot to the face. Tatiana lays into Lissie with several more forearm shots and backs her to the ropes. She whips Lissie off, and goes to run off the rope herself. Lissie drops down to her stomach and Tatiana runs over top of her and to the opposite side of the ring and when Tatiana bounces off the ropes back towards a laying Lissie, Lissie uses her feet to launch Tatiana into the air. Lissie kips up to her feet as Tatiana lands hard, and rolls onto her side, and Lissie whips Tatiana into the corner, then runs in and stands on the turnbuckles over Tatiana and motions to the crowd, then flips back and tosses Tatiana into the middle of the ring with a monkey flip. Chris Avery: Lissie is such a livewire, she lives off the energy from the crowd!Billy: Live wires are an environmental hazard in the workplace, do you want us to get shut down by OSHA??Tatiana gets to her feet, and Lissie takes her down with a flying forearm smash, then Lissie unloads another one as Tatiana gets up. Tatiana stumbles to her feet, but Lissie takes her down with a spinning heel kick. Tatiana pulls herself to a knee, wiping at her nose, and looking up at Lissie. A look of what could be approval crosses Tatiana's face. Chris Avery: Tatiana came here to compete and it looks like she's satisfied with the level of energy Lissie is bringing to the table.Billy: Being that this woman looks like a Riot Grrl from the 90's and is, I assume, like 40 or something, I'd have to say maybe she's used to taking some hits.Lissie comes towards Tatiana and lifts her back to her feet, but Tatiana sweeps her legs. Lissie hits the mat and grimaces in pain, holding her nose, and Tatiana quickly makes it worse by giving her a leg drop to the back of the head and driving her face into the mat again. Tatiana then quickly locks in a bridging Indian deathlock. Tatiana arches her back to pull farther back under Lissie's chin with her arms, and Lissie lets out a choked scream of pain. The referee for this contest asks Lissie to give up, but Lissie shakes her head no. Lissie begins trying to elbow Tatiana loose. Tatiana releases the hold and then she grabs both of Lissie's arms. She pulls Lissie upwards but she is also standing on her long hair. Lissie screams at this modified and illegal move. The referee tells Tatiana to let go or she'll get herself disqualified. Tatiana steps off Lissie's hair but holds on to her arms, and then rolls forward performing a flipping senton across the sternum of Lissie. Tatiana then lifts Lissie up and, still holding both arms, locks her hands together and gives Lissie a double underhook suplex, holding on to one arm and floating it over into a crucifix armbar on Lissie after she's finished. Chris Avery: Tatiana is such an unorthodox competitor, what she gives up in size she makes up for in being able to bend an opponent like a pretzel.Billy: That reminds me, would you care for a chocolate covered pretzel?Chris Avery: You aren't getting me with that one again!!Lissie struggles in the armbar and starts to pull herself up. She pushes forward with her legs, making it so Tatiana is stacked up in a pinning predicament. Before the ref can even start counting, Tatiana breaks the hold, not getting fooled by that again. Tatiana gets back up, taking hold of Lissie, but Lissie sweeps her legs from under her and then flips over for a jackknife cover. Tatiana immediately powers out. She gets up, and Lissie rolls over her shoulder and down her back, grabbing her tights as she does and pulling Tatiana over into a schoolgirl pin. Tatiana again pushes her way out before the ref can reposition himself. Tatiana, frustrated, gets back up, and goes to lift Lissie up, but Lissie rolls her into a standing La Magistral cradle pin. He counts... The referee: One... Kickout. Lissie and Tatiana get to their feet and Lissie begins giving Tatiana some stinging kicks to the leg and hamstring. Tatiana staggers on one leg, as Lissie gives her another harsh kick to the side of the knee. Lissie follows up with a short roundhouse to the midsection. Tatiana swings for a clothesline but Lissie ducks, and Tatiana turns right into a step-up enziguri. Tatiana flops to the mat. Lissie then gives a few knee strikes to the side of Tatiana's temple, following it up by floating over into a bridging arm triangle chokehold. Tatiana's eyes widen in shock at being put in this unexpected predicament. Lissie tightens the hold. The referee asks Tatiana if she gives up and Tatiana refuses. Lissie pulls back on the hold. Tatiana reaches out for the ropes, but they aren't in reach. Tatiana pulls herself closer, and finally is able to grab the bottom rope, forcing a break. Lissie gets up, and lifts Tatiana up. Lissie lifts Tatiana up onto the ropes and drapes her throat across the second rope. Lissie then jumps up, using Tatiana's back as a springboard to fly over the ropes and as she comes down, she pulls Tatiana's head down, hanging her up across the second rope. Tatiana falls back into the ring, contorting around, holding her throat, and Lissie gets back onto the apron. Lissie uses the ropes to slingshot herself in and nail a senton across the chest of Tatiana. Chris Avery: Lissie may take Tatiana out here!Lissie pins Tatiana... The referee: One... Tw... Kickout. Tatiana reaches for the ropes to pull herself up but Lissie lifts her up. She tries locking in a rear naked choke, but Tatiana, though smaller, is wiry and full of unexpected power. Tatiana runs backward and squashes Lissie into the corner. Tatiana gives Lissie a few elbow shots as she does so. The referee gets in between them, or tries to, telling them to get out of the corner. Lissie pushes her way past the official, but receives a poke to the eyes from Tatiana, who pushes her back into the corner and follows it up with a running shoulder block into the midsection. Ruby Goldhirsch applauds. Tatiana gives Lissie another two shoulder thrusts, then steps back to the middle of the ring and meets Lissie with a flying forearm in the corner that sandwiches Lissie. Lissie teeters for a second limply, and then flump, drops right face first. Tatiana lifts Lissie up and walks her over to the corner, bouncing her head off the top rope. Lissie holds her face. Tatiana climbs onto the apron and pulls Lissie over, applying a modifed tarantula submission by locking her legs under the ropes and then pulling back on her head with a neck-lock. Lissie's neck and back and wrenched painfully across the ropes. The referee starts a disqualification count for this illegal hold. Billy: Tatiana beter be careful, it's a slippery slope she's going down.Chris Avery: We've seen Tatiana start to slide morally as she's hired on Ruby and possibly willingly accepted the help of the Heritage, she wants a win tonight, a draw or stalemate just won't do.Billy: I was expecting you, to like, banter with me so I could get in a good line about slipping next to a wet floor sign at Costco, and you played it straight, and now it's wasted. Thanks.Tatiana breaks the hold as soon as the DQ count begins, but the damage may have been done. Lissie stumbles out of the ropes. Tatiana then climbs back in the ring, and the striker lays in some harsh kicks and stomps to the back of Lissie's legs. She then applies an octopus stretch. Lissie tries to reach for the ropes with her free arm as Tatiana's leg pushes down on her head. Lissie shouts in pain. The referee once again asks Lissie if she submits, but Lissie refuses. Tatiana frees Lissie, but gives her a knee strike to the temple. Lissie falls down to her stomach. Tatiana applies a single leg Boston crab, but Lissie rolls through and rolls Tatiana over into a small package type of pin. The referee: One... Two... Kickout. Chris Avery: I think everyone, possibly even Tatiana, has underestimated the reserves of willpower inside this young woman.Billy: Gerard Angelo is watching this one eating popcorn and a large damn Slurpee!Jolee lifts Lissie up and starts to lift her for a Michinoku driver, but Lissie frees her head, grips Tatiana's arm and pulls the other one around her throat for a straightjacket. Then, she drops back with a lungblower, dropping Tatiana across her knees. To follow this up, she turns Tatiana over, keeping both of Tatiana's arms wrapped around her throat with the straightjacket, as she sits on Tatiana's back and pulls her wrists backwards in a modified camel clutch stranglehold. The referee checks to see if Tatiana will submit, but Tatiana refuses. Lissie keeps the hold applied. Tatiana screams she won't give up. Finally, Lissie untangles Tatiana's arms from around her throat but keeps holding on to her hands, as she applies a boot to the back of her head and shoves down, planting Tatiana's face into the mat with force. Lissie checks to see Ruby Goldhirsch isn't on the apron, and Ruby holds her hands up innocently, and Lissie goes for a cover. Chris Avery: Lissie wants to keep her head on a swivel, because Ruby Goldhirsch is a calculating presence at ringside.Billy: So if you typed some numbers on her front and flipped her upside down, it would spell "Boobies"? ........Don't look at me like that, you tried it at least once!Chris Avery: You make this job so difficult, sometimes.The referee: One... Two... Kickout. Chris Avery: Lissie is firing on all cylinders, intending to make a statement going in to Uprising!!Billy: Gerard Angelo backstage with "The Collar Pull" watching this.Lissie looks down at Tatiana in disbelief. She shakes her head, and lifts Tatiana up and whips her into the corner. Lissie comes charging in, looking for a big corner splash. However, Tatiana moves out of the way and Lissie hits the turnbuckle chest first. She turns around, holding her chest in pain. When Lissie turns, she is gripped around the head by Tatiana, who drops down and gives her a double knee facebuster. Tatiana lifts Lissie up, hooking her leg and giving her a flipover leg mare, then floating along her back and locking in a Bully Choke! The smaller, more lithe Tatiana bridges up with her legs and back arched and the arm locked under Lissie's chin pulled so tight that Lissie's neck is wrenched upwards, and Lissie contorts and flails her arms. Chris Avery: Tatiana choking the life out of Lissie! Lissie might be in some deep trouble right here!Billy: Her face is turning redder than yours when I caught you sniffing Adilene Floyd's hairbrush backstage!Chris Avery: I....... I didn't...... I didn't sniff her... sniff her... DAMMIT BILLY!!Several long seconds tick by in the hold. Tatiana is nearly parallel to the ground, she's bearing down with such force, and yet pulling up on the Bully Choke with such force that Lissie's own back is curved like a bow. The referee asks Lissie if she gives up. Dumb question, right? Lissie is being choked, so she can't, like, talk, but they have to ask that, I guess. Anyway Lissie... gurgles no, and her purpled face searches around the ring, hunting desperately for the ropes, and spotting the rope a foot and some change away, Lissie begins reaching out desperately for the ropes. Clawing with every ounce of strength she has, while also pulling on the arm looped around her neck. Lissie's hand wavers in the air. The crowd is looking on, and a huge "LISSIE, LISSIE, LISSIE" chant goes up, willing on their Heroine... Lissie's hand begins shaking with a surge of adrenaline, willed on by the crowd, she fights! Her hand spears out and she catches two fingertips on the ropes. It's enough to secure purchase and ensure a ropebreak. The referee makes Tatiana release the Bully Choke, and Tatiana throws Lissie's head down in disgust at a count of... three, four. Tatiana gets to her feet, incensed at this clearly American referee, and giving him a stern talking to. Chris Avery: And I thought Canadians were supposed to be polite!Billy: That... sounds like a polite scolding! I think she even asked if he could please stop bein' such a hoser, don'tcha know?Ruby Goldhirsch yells at her client to stay on target, and an annoyed Tatiana blows the referee off, then goes over to the legs of Hope and wraps her up in a reverse heel hook, which she's dubbed the Nordic Crossover. Lissie screams in pain, and her low tolerance for submissions nearly comes into play as she flings her arms around. However, Lissie is quicker this time, not allowing the hold to be fully sunk in and nearly pulling herself over to the bottom rope to make the rope break. Tatiana sees this happening, however, and alleviates the pressure on the hold to pull Lissie by the legs into the center of the ring, and going back to the legs to put the Nordic Crossover back on hopefully in the mindset of breaking Lissie's legs. But, Lissie is wily and as soon as Tatiana goes back to work on the legs, Lissie reaches up and pulls Tatiana down into an inside cradle. The referee: One... Two... Th- Kickout! Tatiana is mortified at nearly being caught napping, and as soon as she breaks free she dives in and gives Lissie an axehandle to the back of the head. Tatiana then pins Lissie in return. The referee: One... Two... Thre- kickout! Tatiana motions for Lissie to get up, and she backs up, going for a head kick, but Lissie ducks right under Tatiana's leg and sprints forward. Tatiana turns around, and Lissie catches her coming in, facelocks Tatiana and spins out of the corner, taking them both down with a momentum-changer tornado DDT! Billy: Lissie is the tornado, and Tatiana is the cow being spun around for cinematic value!Lissie takes a deep breath, and works her knee out with a grimace of pain, and then she turns over, pinning Tatiana... The referee: One... Two... Three - Kickout! Lissie, angered and redfaced, gets to her feet, despite a twinge in her knee, and she's panting a little from the exertion, but her eyes are opened up and she looks fierce, like a warrior. She motions for Tatiana to get up, and Tatiana does... Lissie charges forward, attempting to bicycle kick her in the chest... but Tatiana intercepts the foot! Tatiana wrenches the ankle in midair, twists so Lissie is off balance and hopping on her other foot, and then grips the bicycle kicking foot under her armpit and falls back like she's performing a DDT! Lissie's foot bangs the mat and Lissie screams as the knee-DT wrenches her leg painfully, and Tatiana mercilessly work that into a heel hook! Ruby Goldhirsch applauds the technical wunderkind prowess of her client, and Lissie yells and thrashes in pain. The referee leans in and asks if Lissie gives up. Lissie yells no! Several long moments pass, and Lissie covers her face and bites her hand from the pain... but then she starts firing kicks with her other leg. Tatiana is able to push most of them away, but one kick catches Tatiana right on the jaw. Lissie unravels her leg from around the heel hook and crawls sideways, and, balancing on her bad knee, she kicks Tatiana in the face again, and Tatiana's head snaps back. Lissie, gritting her teeth, fights her way back up to her feet. She hobbles around a little on one leg, but she is able to peel Tatiana up off the mat, set her upright, and bounce off the ropes enough to charge forward and hit the bicycle kick to the chest now. Tatiana falls back, and Lissie collapses, gasping, and massaging her knee for a second. Billy: You're lost without being able to call out some specialized move name, aren't you. You don't know what to do, you can't just scream "THE LISSIEALIZER!!" and hype this shit up, you're weak. You use that as a crutch, don't you. Don't you.Chris Avery: The... the BICYCLE KICK TO THE CH... you're right... I'm a sham... *sob*Lissie grimaces, and finally guts through the pain and rolls Tatiana for a cover... The referee: One... Two... Three - Kickout! Lissie sits up, yelling in pain and fatigue, and yet as if she's calling out to all of her followers to lend her strength, the crowd feeds her energy Spirit Bomb style, and Lissie stands up, forgetting the pain, pacing around the ring getting fired up and yelling for Tatiana to get up. Ruby Goldhirsch pounds on the mat, warning Tatiana to watch out for her opponent. Lissie runs off the ropes and takes Tatiana down with a bulldog as she begins to get up. Then, she paces over to the turnbuckle and climbs to the top, facing the crowd, then she looks back at Tatiana and blows her a kiss before flying off with a diving spear that cuts right through the rising Jolee! Chris Avery: LISSIE HOPE! SHE JUST PLOWED RIGHT THROUGH TATIANA!Billy: That was like watching a crash test dummy with the body of a ten year old boy get mowed down by a Tesla!!Lissie, not finished dishing out yet, lifts Tatiana up, whips her into the corner, and runs in behind her. She climbs up onto the turnbuckle behind Tatiana, sticks her knees behind Tatiana's neck and back and pushes off the ropes, "riding" Tatiana down to the mat with her knees in the back and driving her down with a calf-branding facebuster. Lissie goes for a cover. The referee and the crowd: One... Two... Three - Kickout! Lissie looks stunned. She looks at the ref, almost asking "Are you kidding me?!" Nigel assures her that Tatiana got the shoulder up. Lissie looks over at Tatiana, who is shaking the cobwebs out. The crowd is starting a huge "FIGHT FOREVER" chant, as Lissie Hope lifts Tatiana up, lacing some knee lifts to the face, and Lissie whips Tatiana in to the turnbuckles. Tatiana hits hard and stumbles out, holding her lower back, and Lissie runs in, going for a stinger splash, but Tatiana ducks out of the way. Lissie smacks the turnbuckle mouth first, and stumbles back, comically pinwheeling around in a daze. Tatiana then meets her with a Pele kick right to the temple. Lissie falls to one knee, shaking her head as if the lights are dimmed. Tatiana then runs to the ropes and comes off, then meets Lissie in the center of the ring with a shining wizard. Lissie flops back, stunned. Tatiana takes a moment, trying to catch her breath. Both women are down in the middle of the ring, barely able to stand after the toll this match has taken. Chris Avery: This has become a war of attrition, a testament of pure will to win, whoever can pull this off will have bragging rights of coming through a real fight.Billy: No Heritage, no Swallowing partners, not even Gerard at ringside, this is just two ladies going all out to show which one is the baddest bitch in America!....... slash Canada!The referee is checking on both ladies, but as of yet they're both not ready. Tatiana is trying to will herself to get up and Lissie is staring straight up as if dazed. The ref begins a ten count for them to answer. 1... 2... 3... 4... Tatiana starts shaking the cobwebs out... 5... Lissie starts rolling onto her side... 6... Tatiana starts pushing herself up onto her knees... 7... Lissie also starts getting to her feet... 8... both ladies get up. Tatiana fires a hard forearm shiver to the face of Lissie that makes her back off a step. Lissie comes forward and meets Tatiana with a forearm shot of her own that makes Tatiana take a step back. Tatiana retaliates with a right forearm, backing Lissie down, then Lissie fires back with one more, back and forth they go, with the crowd giving a "YES!" chant with each successive hit. After an exchange of five shots to the face apiece, Lissie begins firing up, and she begins bringing that high energy as she starts laying in to Tatiana with a series of forearms, punches and slaps to the face. She backs Tatiana into the ropes, until Tatiana doesn't resist anymore, and then Lissie whips Tatiana off to the ropes and as she comes back, meets her with a jumping Sling blade neckbreaker. Lissie shouts out to the crowd, and as Tatiana gets to her feet, pulling herself up on the ropes she turns and Lissie DECKS her with a jumping twisting Hikaru Shida knee. Chris Avery: LIGHTS OUT!!Lissie, breathless from the effort, collapses, and it takes her a second to roll over and muscle over Tatiana for the cover... The referee and the crowd: One... Two... Three - Kickout! Lissie slumps off, and lays on the mat with her eyes wide open in shock... the crowd is also stunned, Lissie, their Heroine is giving everything she has, but she didn't expect an opponent like this... Lissie is tired, beaten up and spent from this match, and not sure how to put the Canadian rocker girl away. Lissie finally, painfully sits up, goes back to Tatiana. Lissie lifts Jolee up and gives her a body slam onto the mat for positioning, and then looks back to the ropes, looking to finish up strong. Lissie goes to the ropes and springboards up, looking for a diving double knee drop, but Tatiana rolls out of the way just in time and Lissie lands knees first, quite painfully. Tatiana then drills Lissie from a kneeling position with a short reverse STO, smashing her right into the mat. Tatiana then goes back to the legs of Lissie while she's laid out and immediately locks back on the TJP clutch. Chris Avery: OH MY! LISSIE IS IN TROUBLE!!Billy: She's in the middle of the ring! Nowhere to go!!!Chris Avery: LISSIE IS TRAPPED IN THE NORDIC CROSSOVER! IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! WITH NOWHERE TO GO!!Billy: Bitch I just said-Chris Avery: NOWHERE! TO GO TO!A torturous eternity passes in the hold, as the crowd is uncomfortably shifting. Lissie is screaming in pain, how long can she last in this?! With that said, Tatiana is spent, and holding on by pure will alone. Nobody knows which one will give out first. Lissie sits up on her elbows, contorting and nearly ripping her hair out from the pain of her tormented ligament. The referee asks her if she gives up, but she refuses, shaking her head vehemently. The crowd, not willing to give up on their Heroine and NOT wanting her to give up, rallies with a "LISSIE, LISSIE, LISSIE, LISSIE, LISSIE" chant that shakes the heavens, and Lissie's head shoots up and she lets out a mighty yell. As if her every tendon is at the breaking point, cords sticking out on her neck, she pulls herself over, inch by inch, stretches out... and grabs the bottom rope!! Chris Avery: We've been made to feel every drop of pain and exhaustion these two ladies have left in the ring... what a battle!!Tatiana senses the rope break and lets go of the hold... Lissie rolls onto her side, in agony and holding her leg... neither one moves for the longest time, and the referee has to check on them... Lissie is still able to move a little, but favors her leg as she rolls around on the mat, while Tatiana is taking in big gasping lungfuls of air an trying to recover her energy... Billy: What an incredible main event!The crowd is all standing up and looking at something.. Chris Avery: What is going on? Why is the crow-Billy: ITS MASON JONES!!Jones jumps the barricade and slides into the ring and stomps on Lissie! DING DING DING DING Billy: WHAT THE HELL MASON JONES!!Jones then tackles Tatiana and starts punching away on her!! Adilene Floyd: Winner of this match due to disqualification, LIISSSIEEE HOPEEE!!Chris Avery: MASON IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO!! HES RUINED THE MAIN EVENT AND IS TAKING OUT JOLEE!!Mason and Tatiana roll out of the ring and she shoves Mason off and tries to walk away but Mason runs and jumps off the steel steps and crash lands on the back of her taking her out!! Billy: OH MY GOD!!Chris Avery: HES UPSET SHE WON'T ANSWER HIS CHALLENGE!!Jones lays on top of Jolee and starts punching away on her!! Billy: SHE NEEDS HER CANADIAN BACK UP!!Jones is pulled off by the guards on the ramp and dragged away as The Heritage and Bryan Blaze come down and hover over Jolee protecting her! Billy: MASON JONES HAS THIS CROWD IN A FRENZY!!Jones is yelling at her to FIGHT ME! FIGHT ME!!! FIGHT MEE AT UPRISSSINGG!!They continue taking Jones through the curtain as Jolee is being helped up the ramp by Heritage and Blaze. Chris Avery: What the hell was any of that?!Lissie Hope is in the ring still discussing the finish of the match with an official but the official shrugs it off and leaves the ring. Billy: What a wild finish to Monday- WAIT WHAT THE HELL!?Gerard Angelo slides into the ring and has the Championship belt in his hands!
Billy: OH MY GOD!!Lissie turns around and Angelo has her dead to rights!! Chris Avery: LOOK OUT!!Angelo charges and swings the belt towards her face but SHE DUCKS! HE MISSES!!

She bends down and picks it up and takes a hard look at it.. Chris Avery: ARE WE LOOKING AT THE RETURN OF WORLD CHAMPION LISSIE HOPE?!Hope folds the belt up and sets it on the chest of Angelo and then slowly exits the ring as her music blasts again..
