Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Katta Pult: OH MY GOSH NOOOOOO WAY!!!"Relentless" by New Years Day blasts from the surround systems again having every member of the audience stand on their feet in a raging motion to cheer at the top of their voices. Lazaro and Zara are caught off guard by the sudden entrance music playing but no one in the arena has their jaw dropped longer than Serenity who cannot believe her eyes when she sees her father, Andre Holmes, walking out from the backstage area to the view of a sold out Pechanga Arena sporting a black buttoned shirt, black tight denim jeans and dress shoes to match the fit. He removes his shades and stares down to the ring ahead, specifically to his own daughter.
Crowd: ANDRE HOLMES! ANDRE HOLMES! ANDRE HOLMES! ANDRE HOLMES! ANDRE HOLMES! ANDRE HOLMES!
Jimmy Garcia: THIS IS A MAJOR SHOCK TO US ALL! NO ONE EXPECTED THIS AND SERENITY HOLMES LOOKS LIKE SHE'S SEEN A GHOST! NO, SHE SEES THE ONE MAN WHO INSPIRED HER TO BE WHERE SHE IS NOW! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MULTIPLE-TIME HALL OF FAMER, "RELENTLESS" ANDRE HOLMES IS HERE ON CRUISERCLASH FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!Andre continues to walk down to the ring with his eyes fixated upon Serenity who is definitely nervous more than ever. She holds onto the top rope with both hands wondering why her father is here and her opponents seem awfully confused from the sudden appearance. The hall of fame athlete looks to all three competitors in the ring before climbing onto the apron. He stares off to each competitor before moving through the ropes to enter into the ring as his music fades away.
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LETS GO ANDRE! LETS GO ANDRE! LETS GO ANDRE! LETS GO ANDRE! LETS GO ANDRE!
Katta Pult: YES! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED! IT'S ABOUT TIME ANDRE CAME DOWN HERE TO SET HIS DAUGHTER STRAIGHT! IT'S OKAY ANDRE! WHOOP HER ASS WITH A BELT AND GIVE HER THAT DISCIPLINE! DO WHAT EVERY FATHER DOES TO KEEP THEIR CHILDREN STRAIGHT!Andre stands in front of his daughter who is asking him repeatedly why did he show up out of all times. He just gives her a blank stare which has her silent and she puts her head down out of respect. Out of nowhere, Andre spins on his feet then rushes down to Zara in her designated corner before blasting her head back with a Running Yakuza Kick! She falls down onto the canvas and crawls closer to the ropes for her safety. Serenity's mouth drops as he stands there looking to the carcass of Zara and Vincente gets more attentive than ever!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Jimmy Garcia: WHAT THE FUCK?! NO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ANDRE?!Andre turns around to Vicente who charges right at him but he ducks under a thrown right arm. Vincente stops in his tracks and turns around into a Spinning Back Kick then bends him forward as he clutches onto his ribs. This leaves the perfect position for Andre to hold him in place before lifting him seated onto his shoulders in the Powerbomb position before running to the ropes to toss him over the top rope down onto the outside mat from the signature "Bad Landing" Powerbomb! Lazaro crashes spine first onto the ringside mat where officials immediately come to his aid!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Katta Pult: JESUS FUCK! "BAD LANDING" RIGHT ONTO THE OUTSIDE! ANDRE HOLMES JUST POWERBOMBED LAZARO VICENTE OUT OF THE RING TO THE RINGSIDE MAT! WHY IS HE DOING THIS?!Serenity stays in her corner and falls back down onto the turnbuckles completely blown away from the sudden violent behavior of her father. Andre's eyes lock onto Zara crawling into the center of the ring as he positions himself in the corner watching her intently. The audience stands on their feet as Zara stands on her knees giving Holmes the cue to skip across the mat for the legendary Thrust Kick finishing blow that drives his foot into her chin knocking her out flat on her back!
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Jimmy Garcia: THRUST KICK! THRUST KICK! OH MY GOD! HE KNOCKED OUT ZARA COMPLETELY!He points to the referee and yells at him to call the bell!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Katta Pult: NO! NOT LIKE THIS! NOT LIKE THIS SERENITY! YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS! JOEY! DO SOMETHING!Serenity continues to look back and forth between Zara and her father. Andre steps aside and points down to Zara without saying a single word. Serenity frantically looks back and forth between before she jumps across the ring on top of Zara's chest then hooks the right leg for the official pin attempt!
One!
Two!
Three!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
"Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat replays once again. Serenity stands up from the fallen Zara and gets her arm raised by the official but still looks dumbfounded by the fact her father is present. Andre looks to her daughter who is happy she got the win and she tries to go in for a hug but her father stops her by putting a hand on her chest. She looks offended and surprised but Andre shows no emotion until walking over to the ropes to receive a microphone from a ringside crew member.
Jimmy Garcia: You have no idea what Andre Holmes will do. This is his first time ever on CruiserClash and the last time we saw him, he defeated Torture at Revolution V after he was crowned the final WCF Hardcore Champion. This man is a multiple-time Hall of Famer and world-class legend in the business who is here but apparently, he doesn't show any type of content for Serenity. I don't know what he's doing but we're going to find out!The crowd is intrigued by the actions of Andre Holmes but Serenity stands in the center of the ring watching her father's movement with a purpose. She tries to understand but he doesn't give an inch of his motive as her music fades away. Andre paces back and forth looking at Serenity with narrowed eyes, she feels the stinging stare of her father due to her remaining upright yet somewhat fearful but now he raises the microphone to his lips.
Andre Holmes: When you was a small girl, I had hopes for you to follow in my footsteps. I gave you everything I could and fought for you when our family was in shambles. I put my career and my life on the line to see you, Athena, Travis and Dean to grow strong. I watched you excel through my academy becoming the first ever Triple Crown Champion and watched you be better than everyone else. You would train harder than any student, put in the work ten times as the average trainee and when you graduated, you set a pace and record that no one else could follow!Serenity nodded her head and smiled to her father. She continued to watch him pace back and forth.
Andre Holmes: And the moment you went off into the world of professional wrestling, you became an instant star. The youngest champion in Action Wrestling history, longest reigning Action Wrestling Womens Champion and even went to other promotions being in main events, earning championship matches and started building your legacy in the world. With only eight months of professional experience, you're making a name for yourself. The work you're already putting in is to be appreciated and for that, I am here to make things right.
Katta Pult: What is he talking about?Andre Holmes: Recently, I've had to watch at home as my daughter has been acting out of character. This...He points towards her and Serenity looks shocked from his gesture.
Andre Holmes: This is someone I truly don't know.Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Serenity is frozen from the words and she starts to look like a broken hearted child. Andre doesn't pay her attention as his gaze remains on the audience who are more inclined to hear the rest of his words. She just stands there watching her father almost on the verge of crying.
Andre Holmes: She's been running around pretending to be the future of this brand by calling herself the face of CruiserClash! However, she's been on an emotional spiral pretending to have this killer instinct when all I see a little girl finally understanding the real horrors and painful reality of professional wrestling. So that's why I came down to San Diego from a quick flight due to seeing just how pathetic she's been acting. It's just not her attitude but she's been claiming my legacy when she's still hasn't been breaking through the glass ceiling of her own!Jimmy Garcia: THANK YOU! FUCK! THANK YOU ANDRE!Crowd: THANK YOU ANDRE! THANK YOU ANDRE! THANK YOU ANDRE! THANK YOU ANDRE! THANK YOU ANDRE!
Serenity watches her father finally face her and she doesn't move a muscle. He stands right in front of her and all she does is let her head down refusing to look him in the eyes in order not to break emotionally. He keeps that hardened glare built over the years of his service to the ring locked on his flesh and blood.
Andre Holmes: So this is what you do now little Serenity? My own daughter running around a crying fool?! Realizing that you're not as protected as you are? You came into this business bragging about my last name yet you let people such as Alice Gemini humiliate you about our family's dark past and then you let Teo Blaze, a man I respect, prove how much of a crying child you are. You honestly believe you're ready to make it in Action Wrestling? Let me be bluntly honest with you Serenity! You are far beyond ready for what this company has to offer you and you have made yourself the biggest embarrassment of this brand!Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Katta Pult: Oh my god! Yes! Yes! Yes! This is amazing! This is freakin' amazing! It's about damn time Serenity gets a reality check!Andre Holmes: And on top of that, this relationship with you and Holden Ross...Serenity instantly looks up to father and shakes her head begging for him to stop. She is pleading with him not to go any further involving her personal relationship but Andre insists.
Andre Holmes: I do NOT approve!Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
She begins bursting out in tears and he stands there frigid of her reaction. Serenity's sobbing as tears flow down her cheeks but the audience chants "YES" in unison of that reaction.
Jimmy Garcia: Cry those crocodile tears! We do not care!Andre Holmes: It's one thing to watch your daughter grow up and pick idiots but Holden Ross?! That guy is a complete idiot who couldn't write his own name on the SAT's. My daughter is the definition of a delusional woman and the fact you'd think I'd be happy with him as your boyfriend? Where was he when you were being humiliated? Where was he to help you in your career?! Oh wait, I know! He's too busy eating jobbers for dinner or snorting drugs that I better hope you not doing or he's too busy pretending to be the next Jason Voorhees with every stupid 90's emo gothic tweet you can think of!Crowd: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Katta Pult: Oh my god! Could this get any better?!Andre Holmes: As your father, I can't bear to see you embarrass yourself and our family anymore. I'd never thought I'd say this but Serenity...
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!!!Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
She collapses down to the canvas on her ass and just sits there emotionally unstable. Serenity holds onto her chest breathing heavily and acts like she's having a panic attack but she leans against the ropes shaking her head. The audience continues to cheer and she covers her ears pretending this isn't happening. Andre stands there completely unphased by the charades her daughter is putting on.
Andre Holmes: Things are going to change Serenity. I gave you too much freedom and you've done nothing with it. Until you prove you are ready to move upwards, I will be MANAGING you from now on and that is FINAL!!!Jimmy Garcia: OH SHIT!Katta Pult: OH FUCK!"Relentless" by New Years Day replays around the interior of the venue and the audience is in love with what happened. Andre leaves the ring followed by Serenity who moves in front of him covering her arms and looking down in pure defeat. She marches up the narrow pathway to the stage like a spoiled brat who got sent to her room followed behind by Andre who doesn't keep his eyes off of her.
Jimmy Garcia: Well ladies and gentlemen, we witnessed one of the most satisfying moments in CruiserClash history! Serenity Holmes may have won the main event but she lost the war against her father who gave her a verbal lashing than anyone has. Now he will be managing her which means Andre Holmes will be returning to CruiserClash for sure which means things will definitely change around here. Thank you all for tuning into CruiserClash and see you next week!
