* We cut to outside the area where Cruiserweight Champion, Zombie McMorris is with a crowd of fans. He stands there with the belt around his waist and in one hand, a paper bag. On the other, two cans of spray paint. * ZMAC: Now, who here is twenty-one years or older; now who here wants to huff some industrial paint? We got Marina green and something called spaceforce brown.We gone huff some paint and we gone show our true colors cuz that's all we got here on Cruiser Clash. Now which one of wants to stunt the frontal cortex and get high with the champ. * ZMAC looks up as he notices the camera. He steps out from the crowd and addresses the camera. * ZMAC: It’s that time already? Yo, Sea-Dub, whats good. Don’t let the size of the card fool you -> it’s good. Azurine Vebbins takes on Alex Marley. Remy Neaveau dug up the 201 and has an Open Challenge. I guess, we just hand out belts in the Sea Dubs. Everyone wins. The spirit of competition is riveting up in this bitch. Lazaro Vicente vs. Doc Holiday vs. Jaice Wilds is the main event. * ZMAC stops for a second.* ZMAC: Joey Bunga, why the hell are we paying Doc Henry. You might as well throw your money in a shredder at this Point. You top that off with Jaice Wilds. Yah, I’ll be out here huffin paint with the Sea-Dub Rangers. We’ll be takin bets on if Lissie Hope shows up. Live by satellite don’t win you no belts. But that Green Ranger, Zombie McMorris is here LIVE just like he said he would be. Every week. Match or no match. We aint livin in the shadow of Regular Clash. This is Sea-Dub. This is the house that ZMAC built. Built by him and the Rangers -> them fans. You gotta be hardcore to pay to see Doc Henry not be carried by Johnny Reb or Jaice Wilds getting carried by happen-stance. But that's just it. You madmen Rangers are the hardcore of the hardcore. The Niche of Niche. In fact, if you follow me over here * ZMAC motions to his left as he walks in that direction to a large cardboard box filled with hockey jerseys. He lifts one out and shows it off to the crowd. * ZMAC: We got our own Sea-Dub Rangers Jersey because we have partnered with the NHL and the Seattle Kraken. ZMAC: So we have Seamac number 69. And we got.. * He rummages around and finds another to hold up. * ZMAC: Seadub oh-five. To commemorate the fifth anniversary of Action Wrestlings best damn show it ever did have. So enjoy the main event. I know I will. And that's the first lie I ever did tell. * ZMAC blows out the microphone as the camera fades out to start the show *

The investigation continues…
The screen turns to a closed circuit video which appears to depict an interrogation room. The bottom right corner of the screen says “PREVIOUSLY RECORDED” and the top left of the screen has a running tally of the length of the video with the date 2/27/23 printed in white text. The old man who called himself Rasputin sits across the table from Agent Jessica Cannon. Rasputin sits free, apparently there of his own accord. Rasputin reaches into his jacket and retrieves an old, hand-carved pipe and a baggy of tobacco. Rasputin: Do you mind if I partake?Rasputin holds the pipe up for a visual examination. Agent Cannon’s eyes narrow in thought. Jessica Cannon: It’s against Bureau policy.Rasputin nods politely and stuffs his gnarled hand back into his pocket with his pipe in hand. Rasputin: Times have changed, da?Cannon looks at a case file and nods absentmindedly. She launches into her questioning abruptly. Jessica Cannon: What is the nature of your relationship with the woman known as Baba Yaga?[/i][/b] Rasputin: Straight to business. Hmm. Rasputin pauses before continuing. Jessica Cannon: Sir. Please answer the question. Rasputin retrieves his pipe and slips it between his lips. Cannon’s frustration grows. Jessica Cannon: You can’t smoke in here. I already told…Rasputin interrupts. Rasputin: Ma’am. Relax. I haven’t yet mastered the ability to conjure fire. It’s just a habit to calm the nerves. Old. Familiar. Like I am to Yaga. Cannon stares at the old man. Jessica Cannon: Explain that?A smile crawls across Rasputin’s face as he begins to see how he’s hooked the federal agent. Rasputin: What’s to explain? The frustration in Agent Cannon boils up until she releases in a burst. Standing to hurriedly grab her things and exit the room, Cannon turns and stares a hole through Rasputin before offering a sharp rebuke. Jessica Cannon: I’m not going to waste my time with any more of this, Rasputin. You told me you wanted to give a report and you’re just jerking my chain. Get to the point or I’ll have you in cuffs for impeding a federal investigation!Rasputin appears taken aback. He scoffs at his treatment before once more pocketing his pipe and straightening himself out before speaking. Rasputin: The legends of Yaga… all of them. They’re true. Mostly. [/i][/b] Agent Cannon sets her stuff back down and sinks back into her chair across from Rasputin. Jessica Cannon: All of them are mostly true? Excuse me, but what the fuck does that mean?Rasputin nods apologetically. Rasputin: Apologies. Language troubles… I mean she’s nearly every bit the monster she’s been described throughout the ages. If I had to guess, Hotaka, is it? Well, he’s already dead. Maybe you find him; maybe you don’t. But if you do? God have mercy on anyone who’s stuck cleaning up the mess…Cannon frantically writes in her investigator’s notebook before asking another question. Jessica Cannon: Where is Yaga now? Rasputin: Where is the Devil himself? When you find him, you’ll surely find Yaga kneeling at his feet. There is no answer to this question, Miss… uh, Agent Cannon. She is everywhere and nowhere all at once. If you turned out the lights in this very room, when they returned, you might find her breathing down your neck. Jessica Cannon: So if I turned out the lights, she’d arrive?Rasputin laughs to himself. Jessica Cannon: What’s so funny?Rasputin: You think you can just manifest her with a light switch? No. No. Silly. She comes and she goes all the same - as she wishes - and that is NEVER by demand. Jessica Cannon: So how did you go about becoming such an expert in Baba Yaga?Rasputin’s laughter turns deathly serious. Rasputin: Agent Cannon, I know Baba Yaga because… she is mine. She comes from my loins. As Cannon reacts with surprise, the feed turns to snow and disappears.

Una Confrontación... Algo Así
A camera opens up backstage as Jaice Wilds almost marches down the hallway with a purpose. He is moments away from a door labeled "La Familia Dorada" before Vandalia Valdez turns a corner with a bottled water in hand. She rushes up as Wilds gets ready to knock on their door. Vandalia Valdez: Aye, papito. What are you doing?? Jaice turns to Vandalia. Jaice Wilds: I need to talk to him, Van. Look, I know I made a mistake. But we were amigos, Vandalia… hermanos. And because of one emotional mishap, he's going to go radio silent on me?? He needs me right now, especially after last week… Vandalia puts a hand on Jaice's shoulder, tilting her head. Vandalia Valdez: Look, I get it. Papi has trouble keeping friends because of his temper, and you two… well, he got a little shocked at what he thought was your disbelief in him. Jaice Wilds: But he won't return my calls, he won't answer my texts, he's been avoiding me in the locker rooms… we need to put this behind us so we can push forward again. Vandalia Valdez: I know you mean well, Jaisinder. Look… why don't you go get ready for the match, and I'll try to talk to him for you? Maybe he'll listen if it's coming from me. Jaice sighs, nodding. He extends his arms, Vandalia coming in and the two embrace. He backs away, turning. Jaice Wilds: Thanks, Van. You're an angel. Wilds starts to walk away, Vandalia turning to the locker room door. As she reaches for the handle, the door swings open and Lazaro Vincente starts out. He looks up, noticing Wilds turning the corner. Lazaro Vincente: What did he want? Vandalia's eyes darting from Lazaro to Wilds and back to Laz, she huffs. Vandalia Valdez: You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Lazaro Vincente: Was he trying to plead for friendship again? Vandalia Valdez: You know… I turn the corner, and he's going on about how dumb he thinks you are. In fact, he told me that when he beats you tonight, I am invited to his hotel room. Get this, papi… he said I would benefit from a night with a "real man"... Lazaro's eyes bulge, Vandalia nudging him into their locker room.

HERES THE CHAMP!
When Doves Cry hits the PA system. * Jimmy Garcia: We’re getting joining by the champ himself tonight. We already saw him to start the show.* ZMAC comes out on the stage flanked by two female stagehands with T-shirt cannons. * Lexi Stone: He introduced us to the “Sea-Dub” Jersey. I guess he somehow partnered with the NHL. I don’t know how he managed that.* ZMAC and the stage hands get into the ring as ZMAC grabs a mic. * ZMAC: At the start of the show, Ol’ Z welcomed you with open arms.
Crowd: Truss me. ZMAC: He said he welcomed you with open arms.Crowd: Truss me. ZMAC: He said with arms wide open he done did welcome you and he bestowed upon you a Jersey. Partnered with the NHL and the newest expansion team, the Seattle Kraken, we created the Action Wrestling Cruiser Clash Rangers. AKA, the Sea-Dub Rangers. All of you right here and all over the world are officially Sea-Dub Rangers and right now, this Jersey is going to go on Sale for one hundred and fifty bucks. Now Ol’ Z knows that's a lot but he aint nuttin but a merch pusher. That's fifty bucks off the NHL shop price. So you know the Vapor King, now the Green Ranger, he be wheelin N’ dealin. So before you go out to the merch stands, we gone fire off a cuppa one of these and you can get them in either home or away colors. Now I wanna say why these ladies fire them rockets awf, that aint no one in the back out here doin this. You had four reigns of Teo Del Sol doing nothing. You had two reigns of Brice Dallas Howard Blaze - flat out doin nuttin. Followed by Remy doin even less than that but don’t worry, he got an ‘Open Challlenge’ Open challenge yourself to be a good fuckin champ, you goofball. Cuz we got People out there like Lissie Hope who thinks that she gone do the impossible and make this belt worth sumthin. Them her words. Aint the words of the Green Ranger. She thinks that Cha’ll aint worth her time. She wants to steal this shit away from Each and Every One of YOU because it suits her narrative of bullshit HER-STORY. She said it herself last week, she wants a sixth unique championship. This shits is unique alright. Cuz ya’ll are the ones holding it. Ya’ll are the ones, Rangers. Ya’ll the ones with the POWER, RANGERS!Jimmy Garcia: So I guess, we’re the Cruiserweight Rangers, now, Lexi. Lexi Stone: I dunno how I feel about that but I guess it could be worse. The Jerseys are nice though.Crowd: Truss me! ZMAC: Nah, nah, nawh, son. It aint trust me. Its truss US up in this shit, now. Ya’ll had to suffer for years with insufferable champions and champ-peons but we the ones, now, Rangers. From this moment on, listen to what everyone else tells you. Use them ears and get ready to jump on that bullshit they tried to feed you. Like when Remy wants to be the champ in 2023, remember who made you, Rangers. When Hope wants to come out here for the sympathy and pity party. Remember what she wants to take from you.* ZMAC pounds on the CW title that's on his shoulder. * ZMAC: She talked about how ZMAC needed this belt for relevance when ZMACS put on the brand and on ALL of YOU, RANGERS! Yet, it’s ol Z who got the history of building the WCF Internet championship from the literal ground up in something greater and more infamous than anyone could have dreamed. He Helped reforge the WCF Hardcore strap to what it ultimately should have been. Ol’ Z forged UCI. The Hyper-Media. And now Ol’ Z is forging this.* ZMAC holds up the CW title as the crowd goes crazy. * ZMAC: Lissie, you’re a belt Mark. I’m the Belt Maker. Ol’ Z stands in this ring, Persona Non Grata for three years and * ZMAC snaps his fingers * Like that, Ol’ Z is back, strap in hand, and making something out of the CW division. Five years, we been here and we gone be here for five more.Crowd: Truss Us! ZMAC: See, Lissie, Ol’ Z graduated from niche belts and niche divisions to now he’s got his own brand. Let Jill Park have Logan Paul, getting his whole damn face melted by Fury. you want to make history on a technicality. Ol’ Z aint the face of this division. They out there are. The Rangers, are. Ol’ Z aint the champion of this division, The Rangers are. Ol’ Z, The Green Ranger, he just leads them.Crowd: Truss Us! ZMAC: Don’t worry though, Lissie, all this can be yours. You just got to take it- from them.Crowd: Truss us! ZMAC: Look, Rangers, enjoy the show but before ol’ Z goes -> you damn well know he got us a theme song. Yes, Ol’ Z managed to get you THAT theme song.* ZMAC ‘blows out’ the mic as he rolls out of the ring with the CW belt. “Power Rangers (Redux)” hits the PA system as the fans go crazy fo it. ZMAC hops the barrier as the fans rush him and surf him around. *

Backstage!
Jimmy Garcia: Welcome back AND WHAT? WE HAVE SOMETHING HAPPENING BACKSTAGE!Cruiserclash cuts to the back to Red, White, and Bruised, beating down Cinta and Toxin. Karlie viciously tossed Cinta into the production crates, as Nikola smashed Toxin’s head into a zamboni, Cinta rebounded off the crates Karlie finds a hockey stick and spears Cinta in the gut, Cinta bends over and Karlie breaks the hockey stick across his back. Lexi Stone: Ohhh my god!Nikola sprays hairspray into Toxin’s eyes, then drops him with a very stiff right cross, she stomps the piss out of him while yelling at him in Spanish.

What the hell?!
Backstage, Joey Bunga enters his office to find something shrouded by a Japanese flag in the middle of his desk. Joey Bunga: What the hell is that?He grabs the flag and removes it to find a birdcage with something unsettling resting on the floor of the cage: a large heart. Joey Bunga: YO WHAT THE FUCK?! Bunga panics as he looks at the mess this display has made of his desk. Joey Bunga: That shit betta not be fuckin’ human! JESUS! Bunga rips his office door open and screams out into the hallway. Joey Bunga: SOMEBODY GET ME JESSICA CANNON! The scene fades on a tight shot of Bunga’s panicked eyes.

Alex Marley vs. Azurine Vebbins
Jimmy Garcia: We are just one week away from Battlefield and there are still some hungry Cruiserweights who are trying to get themselves in Action next Sunday night!Lexi Stone: That’s what a singles match like this is for, Jimmy! Make an impression, punch your ticket to the big show! Jimmy Garcia: Alex Marley and Azurine Vebbins are two long-standing Cruiserweight stalwarts, Lexi! And who knows who’s back there watching, and what can be at stake tonight with a great showing!Lexi Stone: Let’s get started!As "Radio Gaga" by Queen prominently plays throughout the arena, "The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like an automaton practicing aerobics. She performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar). Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction and her next opponent. Ethan Miller: Ladies and gentlemen, from Los Angelas, California… “Da Hardheaded Housewife”... AZURINE VEBBINS! Alex Marley passes through the curtain, just fucking vibing to the music of MGK's Sublime RemiXX. He makes his way to the ring, dancing the whitest ways imaginable, while slapping the hands of every willing fan on the way down the ramp. As he gets in the ring, he taunts to the crowd and settles into the corner, laying across the top rope waiting for the match to begin. Ethan Miller: And coming to the ring… from Woodstock… ALEX MARLEY! The two fan-favorite superstars look like they’re having a great time, laughing as they try to get the crowd pumped up! They take turns getting the right side of the arena to battle the left side of the arena to see who’s the loudest. Jimmy Garcia: There’s no bad blood here between these two! Sometimes you like to see that - you like to see just two people going in the ring to do what they love best.Lexi Stone: I feel like they are going to break out into a game of rock-paper-scissors here – this is so bizarre.But they are soon interrupted by a record scratch – and then the sound of Megan Thee Stallion’s “HER” explodes through the arena! The fans erupt with cheers as the Women’s Champion, Lissie Hope, appears on stage, completely unexpected to everyone in the arena and Alex and Azurine in the ring! Jimmy Garcia: Not sure why Lissie Hope is coming down to the ring but this is such a pleasant surprise!Lexi Stone: We spoke to Lissie via satellite last week and though she’s not scheduled to compete tonight, either here or on Clash, she might just want to make her presence felt as we march towards the hashtag-Battlefield! Jimmy Garcia: Very nice pun, Lexi!Azurine is jumping up and down in the ring in excitement as Lissie reaches the bottom of the ramp. She hops on the apron and gives Azurine a hug over the top rope, before extending a fist-bump to Alex Marley from the apron as well. She then hops back down and circles around the ring, coming to the commentator’s desk. She lays her Women’s Championship across the table and places a headset over her ears. Lissie Hope: Hey y’all! Sorry to interrupt. Jimmy Garcia: What brings you down here tonight??Lissie Hope: I just wanted to come out and say hi and catch a match as a spectator. Sometimes you forget what it’s like to watch one of these from this perspective.Lexi Stone: So there’s no ulterior motive here, Lissie? No message you’re trying to send?The bell rings, and the two briefly circle around each other. Azurine lunges for a double leg takedown, but Alex steps back, and she quickly gets up. She steps back to avoid a kick to the ribs, and Alex chuckles before clapping for her escape. Lexi Stone: Lissie?They finally lock up, but Alex uses his power advantage to grab a side headlock. She rolls to the side and flips him over with fireman’s carry, before wrapping her arm around his neck with a rear naked choke. Lissie Hope: Ooh, good stuff there from Azurine! She’s so skilled on the ground – she doesn’t get enough credit.Jimmy Garcia: Liss - Lexi asked you a question.Alex sits up in it and hand fights with her, trying to create some separation between the choke and his neck. He spins out of it and trips Azurine’s feet out from under her. He grabs at her ankles and flips her into an STF! Vebbins gets to the ropes, and Alex quickly lets go. Lissie Hope: You don’t see a lot of technical wrestling on CruiserClash – maybe the Tatiana Jolee influence is finally starting to rub off after 54 years in the business.Jimmy Garcia: oop–Lexi Stone: So is that why you’re here? To throw in some more digs at Tatiana, who’s probably not even watching right now?Lissie Hope: She’s probably not watching since she seems to hate everything about this company. But that’s the reason why she always finds herself looking up at the lights instead of standing with her arms raised in victory underneath them.She gets up, and they lock up again. This time he puts on a wristlock, and pushes at the arm. She rolls on her back and kips up, and puts on her own wristlock. Alex also rolls through to his feet, and he flips her over with a back body drop… but she lands on her feet behind him! And he runs towards and eats a big jumping clothesline! Lissie Hope: Azurine is so skilled y’all. You need to pump her up a little more than you do.Jimmy Garcia: I don’t think we’ve been unfair to Azurine, Lissie.Lissie Hope: Look, y’all tend to hype up the same people every night. We hear all about Remy Nouveau and the Undrafted and people like Serenity Holmes every week – hell, even me, to be honest – when people like Azurine never get their chance to shine.Lexi Stone: This is just really weird, Lissie –Lissie Hope: People like to say that I am not giving back to this company. You asked why I’m here tonight, this is why.Azurine picks Marley up by the hair and throws an uppercut at his neck. She tries to flip him over with an arm drag, but he counters into one for himself. He bases his knee against the side of her head for leverage, but she rolls to the side onto her stomach. She picks the leg again to take Alex down, and she twists at his ankle. Alex pushes his free leg over her head to get on his stomach, and then rolls forward into a modified victory roll! 1— 2— NO! Jimmy Garcia: He nearly stole that one!Lexi Stone: So many counters and transitions tonight, it’s hard to keep track!Lissie Hope: You’ve always got to be aware of your surroundings. That’s why someone like ZMAC gets in trouble – the guy has this tunnel vision and it’s why he’s going to lose the Cruiserweight Championship to me next week.Azurine kicks out as soon as she can. She goes for the leg again, but Alex grabs her in a front facelock when she bends for it. He lifts her up, in his control, before dropping her with a textbook vertical suplex. He floats over into another cover. 1— 2— Lissie Hope: C’mon Vebbie.3— Jimmy Garcia: Vebbins kicks out!Lexi Stone: Another close one! Can you answer me this, Lissie – why are you out here showing support for Azurine Vebbins?Lissie Hope: Azurine’s about to turn this around, I can feel it.Alex sits her up, and he hits a hard kick across the back. She arches her back in pain, and he shoves her down on her back before he jumps up and connects with a senton splash! He rolls backwards to his feet, and then pulls her off the mat by the arm. But she holds onto the shortarm and twirls around him before dropping him with a headscissors! Lissie Hope: Here we go!A standing dropkick sends Marley reeling into the corner turnbuckle. He bounces forward into her double knees to the sternum. Jimmy Garcia: Sweetheart Sockhop is coming up!Lexi Stone: There’s the superkick!And Azurine Vebbins finishes it cleanly with her pulled in DDT to complete the finisher! 1— 2— Lissie Hope: That’s how you get it done.3!!! DING DING DING Ethan Miller: The winner of the match, Azurine Vebbins! Lissie Hope: That’s exactly what I wanted to see tonight.Lissie stands up in her seat and claps her hands for Azurine celebrating in the ring! She keeps the headset on. Jimmy Garcia: I’m still so confused, Lissie.Lissie Hope: I came out here to find a challenger for the Women’s Championship next week at Battlefield.Lissie points up at the tron, and Azurine sees a graphic on the screen! It’s a match announcement for Battlefield – Azurine Vebbins versus Lissie Hope! Lexi Stone: That doesn’t make sense. Serenity’s been asking for a rematch –Lissie Hope: Serenity lost the belt almost a year ago, Lexi.Lissie’s cadence shifts more spiteful as she glares down at Lexi. She then watches as Azurine celebrates in the ring, pointing at Lissie and the belt. Lissie plays along, pointing at Azurine, then herself, then the belt, and then giving her hearthands. Jimmy Garcia: I don’t think Serenity’s going to like this, Lissie.Lissie Hope: She understands. I already talked to her the other night and she agreed.Lexi Stone: …you mean when she asked for a ri–Lissie Hope: What’s important is that I dispel this ridiculous narrative that I’m afraid to compete. That I don’t show up for this company when I get the call. I’ll fight twice in a night. I’ll put my belt up. I’ll fight for another one. I just cruised through the Pure Cup a couple of weeks ago and people still like to say I’m dodging competition. Not anymore, Jimmy. …Lexi.Lexi Stone: I never said that.Lissie Hope: I’m defending my belt against Azurine Vebbins because she’s earned the opportunity. She fights every time, without argument, without an attitude. She’s an incredible woman, an incredible friend.Lexi Stone: Are you saying Ser– Lissie Hope: I’m not saying anything about her. I’m talking about Azurine Vebbins. Good night, enjoy the rest of the show.Lissie removes her headset and now joins Azurine in the ring. They celebrate their upcoming match and the vibe is – off, to say the least. The fans get a brief surprise when the tron cuts back to a shot of Serenity Holmes looking on in disbelief. The show then fades to a commercial.

THE CHAMPION AGAIN!
"When Doves Cry hits the PA system as the arena begins to fill with smoke. The Guitar riffs through with that 80's sex-tronic hypnotic. The fans get fuckin hyped for the artist formerly known as Lake Minitonka Mad Man. Charlie Murphies pick up game mimesis. We here for it and so aint the crowd. The Prince vocals kick in after the intro and the crowd sings along. Dig, if you will, the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers me Can you, my darling? Can you picture this? ZMAC emerges from deep inside the crowd as the chrous comes in and he sings with the crowd. He's laughing and smiling as he's singing, not taking his eyes off the ring ZMAC: How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like When doves cry ZMAC acts as a coked up immortal Jack Napier, leading the crowd in the song as the crowd band together to sing like soccer hooligans. They pick him up and body surf him to the ring. as the song comes to an end, ZMAC grabs a mic and rolls into the ring. ZMAC: Yo! Last week was a weird fuggin week wasnt it? You had Remy come to his senses and be like: This is the year of Remy. Less of course a Hurricane rapes his father and kills his mothers in some sort of Eco-torristic Batman type situation. But at least he’s after the champ -> which is what he should be in reality, He and Serenity Holmes should be after.. Lissie Hope..Crowd: Lissie Lissie!!! ZMAC: The victim, Lissie Hope Talkin all buncha nonsense.Gah, Jimmy, do you know what it’s like to get burned by a cigarette ?
Bitch.. Burned alive in this ring. Thrown into a deep fryer.. In this fuggin ring..
Thrown into a volcano.. In this -> well, it was in a volcano but it in was in this ring, spiritually. I was Tactically fucking nuked in APW but cha’ll dont want to talk about that. She talks about how ZMAC wants to rip her head off. Nawww, bitch -> Ol’ Z wants you to leave him the fuck alone.
It was Lissie Hope who showed up on Cruiser Clash lookin to mop up. She came here * ZMAC pounds his chest * on OUR show. * ZMAC points to the crowd * On YOUR show Talkin bout how her name been in my mouth.
Since when, Ol’ Z been here three months N’ persona non grata for three years. If her name was in my mouth, she be cummin like Bonnie Blue on two dollah draft night. But Ol’ Z is the bad guy. Remember that.
She came here to OUR Show. She came up here to Mount Crumpet And now she wants to stand toe to suckable toe with the Green Ranger his damn self for clout -> clout -> Ol’ Z is in the alley huffin paint and you chasin him clout. Theres something wrong with that pick-cha. So don’t makin yourself a victim now -> cuz now it’s too damn late. Talkin’ bout how you want to leave the world a better place than when you came here. The doors right there, any time you want to bow out and claim your gold jacket from the front office. But chu aint down bleedin that heart out like in aint in the world where Raging Dead got clean rocked and now he’s in Hell, reppin some underwhurld championship.
You forget where you are Lissie. You are on Cruiser Clash and we aint about that victim bullshit, are we Rangers
Crowd: Truss’ US! So whats gonna happen at Battlefield when you eat that dust like Bonnie Blue chokin back IPA’s and dicks -> You gone get on the TV and tell the world that your knee wasnt healed so you can have an out. Maybe you got some PTSD from that American Spirit. Face the facts, that you hoard power because you aint really got any and deep down you know that to be true. So you can fake the outrage about your tits or the elastic integrity of your vaginal cavity but like Ol’ Z said the other week, you’re on the wrong side of twenty-five and the wall is comin on faster than you’d expect. But babygirl, Battlefield is gone be here faster and whether its just us or Holms or Remy or whoever- just know that it’s gonna be your best in a world that you are unfamiliar with. You provoked this. You wanted this. You wanted the fuggin smoke but Ol’ Z is over here huffin paint you just cant handle the fuggin vapors.
Then after Zombie McMorris, Persona non Grata, The Green Ranger breaks you, mentally, emotionally and spiritually -> that you aint a fraction of his God Given talent -> maybe then you can fuck the fuck off and leave the CW ALONE. Cuz you trespassing in a gimmick.
Crowd: Truss me. ZMAC: Lissie. Ol’ Z aint a bully. I dont care if you suck all the dicks, win all the belts, It aint Ol’ Z biz’ Nasty to know. Nor is it the priority for him to care. But when Chu wanna cross that line in the sand and come after the Vapor King -> You best not miss. But Ol’ Z thinks you got a shot. Ol’ Z got faith in you babygurl, that you can take the belt off my shoulders. And that's the first lie that I ever did tell.Crowd: Truss me! * ZMAC “blows out” the mic as he drops it to the mat. He rolls out as a stagehand gets in the ring and douses it with a fire extinguisher. * Jimmy Garcia: Zombie McMorris continues to antagonize Lissie Hope for another week but also defends the Cruiserweights, that SHE is the one trespassing. Battlefield is going to be explosive!
We shoot backstage where Bryan Blaze is watching on a monitor. Jade Riley walks up behind Blaze..
Jade Riley: Thoughts?
Bryan Blaze: The ones who continue to overlook me are the ones who will be defeated. I'm going to grab MY Cruiserweight Championship back on Sunday.
Blaze walks off.

Serenity Holmes, everybody!
CruiserClash before Battlefield has been broadcasted worldwide from inside the Ralph Engelstead Arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The small card has still delivered amazing action and segments from the quality talent roster of athletes, but for one, her name has been controversial regarding last week's issues. Serenity Holmes has been itching to respond regarding Lissie Hope's answer for the Women's Championship and to make a public apology ordered by the Action Wrestling executive leadership. The camera transitions to the broadcast section of the ring, highlighting Jimmy Garcia and Lexi Stone behind the commentary table. Jimmy Garcia: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to our CruiserClash episode seven weeks from Battlefield! This aThis is a reminder that our Womens Champion, Lissie Hope, will be challenging Zombie McMorris for the Action Wrestling Cruiserweight Championship next Monday!Lexi Stone: But speaking of the Women's Championship, Serenity Holmes has caused many riots since announcing her rematch for the belt that Joey Bunga and Lissie Hope denied. Okay, let me return that; I temporarily put it off until after Zombie McMorris.Jimmy Garcia: Many have speculated that Lissie Hope needs to take Serenity seriously as the number one contender to her Womens Championship or that she is afraid to defend her championship. We have known Lissie to be a fighting champion, but Serenity has felt disrespected by her, the general manager, and many around her.Lexi Stone: I'm staying out of her way. She truly believed people didn't respect her. Look what she did to Jenny Gato last week; she ultimately attacked her for no reason and had the gall to demand respect after that. Serenity's temper has landed her quite a fine, and she has to make a public apology next.Jimmy Garcia: I'm betting she will not apologize nor have sympathy for her actions. Serenity's anger may be justified, but her efforts aren't. We'll see how she handles the pressure of not getting what she wants.The camera transitions to Ethan Miller standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in his hand. Ethan Miller: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the "22nd Century Girl" Serenity Holmes now! Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat plays from the arena's surround systems in synchronization with the lights dancing around the stadium in different colors. Serenity leaves the backstage area making her presence available to the fans as she stands center stage to view the audience sporting a casual black hat, pink tee, baggy camouflage pants, and converses to keep the grunge-inspired look. She stands there momentarily surveying the audience with a fowl expression before walking down to the ring, intending to speak about last week's mishaps. Crowd: SERENITY! SERENITY! SERENITY! SERENITY! SERENITY! SERENITY! SERENITY! SERENITY! Serenity climbs the steel steps to the apron before moving into the ring, graciously accepting the microphone from Ethan. Her music ends abruptly as she paces around the circle listening to the audience support her, but she leans against the ropes scratching her head. Then, finally, she returns to the center of the crew, having enough of the awkward silence from her as she raises the microphone to speak with a slight smile on her face. Serenity Holmes: Last week, I made a mistake by putting my hands on one of our enhancement talents, Jenny Gato. I shouldn't have done that; she suffered minor injuries because of me. Jenny, if you're watching this, please understand how sorry I am for my actions. You shouldn't have been to blame as you were innocent, so I apologize.Lexi Stone: She did it. Serenity Holmes: Because it's not you who should be blamed, it's the system that Joey Bunga works on and Lissie Hope's answer from last week!Jimmy Garcia: There it is... Serenity Holmes: I want to be remarkably candid about this situation, so let's start from the beginning. I have held the Action Wrestling Womens Championship for over 100 days and defended it against top competitors in this brand. I lost it against Alice Gemini at Evolution V, but did I immediately get my rematch? No. I settled to become Cruiserweight Champion, then defeated Teo Blaze to hold it only for 23 days when I lost it without getting pinned or submitted at CruiserClash. Is everyone starting to see a trend here? I've lost my championships but didn't get a rematch, even though I have yet to push for it. Everyone else gets their rematches or championship opportunities when they lose or haven't been here in a long time.Serenity walks around the ring, shaking her head until returning to the center. S erenity Holmes: I've been the most active competitor on CruiserClash, naming myself the face of this brand. I've been busy outside of Action Wrestling, accomplishing a lot, but that gets ignored by Joey Bunga, who said I wasn't even the number-one contender for the Women's Championship belt.Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Serenity Holmes: I'm a winning woman on this roster. I've beaten many names, but every time I hit someone, they either get a championship match or get booked into a contendership match. My wins don't matter in Joey's eyes, but my losses do. He has the gall to say I'm not a threat to Lissie Hope, but I'll be damned to listen to a man who can look me on the same height from behind a desk when I can easily beat the crap out of him! I am so done waiting for my opportunities and trying to make peace, yet whenever I lash out or stand up for myself, everyone in the back loses their minds. They can't stand it. I have goals of my own that I want to accomplish, so what is the problem here? Am I the problem?Crowd: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Serenity Holmes: I thought so.Serenity steps onto the middle rope and looks directly into the rugged camera. Serenity Holmes: Hello, Joey. I know you're watching me, but I need more confidence in your ability as a general manager. S't the someone else isI'm the number-one contender for the Action Wrestling Womens Championship. You're a bigger idiot than I thought. One woman can become a multiple-time Women's Champion in this promotion, and that's me. I pioneered that belt to where it is now. I won that championship in just three matches of my professional career and have become a better competitor than where I am now, and you say I'm not worthy of a rematch I'm owed for holding a belt for nearly four months?!Jimmy Garcia: Joey Bunga is not going to like this.Serenity Holmes: You can kiss my ass!Lexi Stone: Woah!Serenity Holmes: You've been putting me in a position with no explanation, and whenever I tell you the truth, you want to shut me up. You don't care about what I want, but you won't stop me from claiming what's mine. Let me also address what Lissie said last week about my challenge to her. I love Lissie and respect her; I understand she's going for the Cruiserweight Championship, but I couldn't help but think about some things that crossed my mind.She descended from the ropes and started walking around the ring. Serenity Holmes: She said last week that her winning on CruiserClash is like taking candy from children. I don't know why people perceive CruiserClash to be the lesser show of the two, but it clicked in my mind that's what she thinks. Why else would she enter to win CruiserHavoc V? She believed it would be a pushover, or that's how I think she saw me. So she eliminated me to become Women's Champion, and now she's on this crusade to support women's rights. Maybe I do believe her in that because she's been one of the most remarkable women's competitors in Action Wrestling, but I have this slight inkling I'm being pushed aside because I'm not the biggest threat to her championship reign. I mean, choosing Azurine Vebbins? I like Vebbins.. but you know DAMN WELL I'm the one you want to fight at Battlefield..Her eyes flared to the rugged camera as it zoomed on her again. Serenity Holmes: Lissie Hope. I don't care about your words anymore regarding that championship you have. I want you to focus on Zombie McMorris, and I want you to beat him. Become a double champion so that I get BOTH my rematches at once, and when you do, I want to face you in this ring to rip both those belts off you with no excuses. I'm not going to do anything drastic, oh no. I'm simply going to sit down and watch you very closely at Battlefield, and when it's all over, I'll be there in the ring reminding you what's coming. I will be a champion again, and make sure that belt will be around my waist where it belongs!She slams the microphone down onto the canvas, and her music replays again. The audience cheered for Serenity's passion as she moved through the ropes and headed back up the passageway backstage, allowing the next segment to continue.

Lazaro Vicente vs. Doc Holiday vs. Jaice Wilds
Lexi Stone: Lazaro Vicente was so focused and ready for this match, he came out during the commercial break! Ethan Miller: And his opponent... The opening chords of “UltraNUMB” by Blu Stahli fills the arena as the lights go dark. Several flashes of blue and green lights illuminate various parts of the arena and entrance ramp to the beat of the song, all stopping with a cascade falling at the top center as Blue Stahli screams… YOU WANT IT ALL RIGHT NOW!!! At this point, the fans begin roaring as Jaice Wilds is spotted on a platform a few feet above the ramp. He raises his arms into an X, taking a moment to watch the crowd respond in kind before… 3! 2! 1! Wilds flips forward off the platform, landing superhero style on the ramp below. He looks up, removing the hood from his face and tossing his shades into the crowd. He starts down the ramp, taking some time to slap random fives and bump fists. You want it full frontal, over-stimulation So say a benediction, For a new addiction In voyeuristic overdrive (Here comes the countdown) Jimmy Garcia: Ok this is going to take a while, I’m going to take a bathroom break, I’ll be back before this is over.The sound of a headset and microphone can be heard being hit before coming to rest. Ethan Miller: Ladies and gentlemen, making his way to the ring!! (Three) This is the new flesh Ethan Miller: From Puerto Vehlo, Brazil; weighing in at one hundred and eighty-four pounds! (Two) This is the open door Ethan Miller: He is the Final General and YOUR Xtreme Aerialist!! (One) We've got everything you wanted… Ethan Miller: He is JAICE! WIIIIIIIILLLLLLDSSSS!!! Wilds stops at the bottom of the ramp, taking in a deep breath and signing the rosarie before launching forward, corkscrewing himself to fly between the top and middle ring ropes and rolling to his feet once inside the ring. He looks to each side of the ring, the fans on their feet as he heads for a turnbuckle. You want it all right now (ULTRAnumb) Right now (Three, two, one) Violated, So degraded The show has just begun (Three, two, one) Dominated, By all you hated Lexi Stone: I thought you weren’t going to make it. Jimmy Garcia: I see he still hasn’t finished, at least I didn’t miss my guy Doc Holiday This will make you ULTRAnumb (Three, two, one) Wilds nods to the crowd, throwing up the X as the fans chant "X-Treme!" to their hero. He drops to the mat, running up to each remaining turnbuckle and repeating the taunt as the crowd continues to roar in approval. The arena goes dark as the familiar voice of 2Pac interrupts the darkness. "I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah,” Jimmy Garcia: You don't wanna uff with me! Lexi Stone: Sit down Jimmy, you’re making us both look bad!A spotlight shines on Doc Holiday as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp, hood up on his black AW wrestling sweat shirt. His head slowly bobs to the music as he walks to the ring looking very focused on the task at hand. Fans reach out to touch him, but he ignores them as he walks to the ring stopping short of the ring apron, pausing for a moment jumps straight onto the ring apron and slides the the middle rope, going to the center of the ring where he embraces the boo's from the crowd with a sly smirk and his arms out. DING DING! The three men begin to size each other up, all three glaring each other down, waiting to see who makes the first move to break the tension. Before anyone could react Holiday burst out laughing pointing to the front row. Wilds quickly turns and looks, and quickly he understands. Quickly sending him into a rage, Wilds climbs out of the ring and approaches a fan, taking his sign that reads: Jaice Wilds Eats Corn The Long Way!
[/font] Jimmy Garcia: I don’t know who that guy is but he’s my new best friend! HOLY SHIT! Lexi Stone: Premeditated Disaster! Holiday flings Wilds into the railing, pops back up laughing once more giving the fan daps. Holiday turns around to come face to foot from Vicente. Vicente grabs Holiday by the back of the head and throws him at the ring and he hits hard but rolls under the ropes. He quickly turns to Wilds, pulls him to his feet, and rolls him under the bottom rope. Vicente quickly follows and Holiday quickly comes in with a Basement Dropkick. He grabs Vicente’s arm and away from the ropes. He quickly turns around for a Standing 450 Splash, but Vicente gets his knee’s up, blocking the impact. Vicente pushes up with the impact and Holiday is sent up to his feet, and is met with a knee to the face from Wilds. He quickly grabs Holiday and goes for the pin… 1.. SHOULDER UP! Holiday’s shoulder quickly goes up, just as Vicente pulls Wilds leg to keep the count from going any longer. Both men get to their feet, but Wilds is quick to react and closes the distance with a side suplex. Holiday meets Wilds to his feet and the two begin to exchange blows. Holiday push kicks Wilds away, and Wilds uses the ropes to spring him off into a spinning elbow. Holiday side steps and both men are caught with a cross body from Vicente, using the momentum from the top rope to bring both men down. He jumps up and grabs Wilds and throws him into the corner. Jimmy Garcia: These three are moving at such a fast pace it is just one continuous assault from everyone. Lexi Stone: Let’s not try to overlook the fact that these three men are also at the top of their game as far as in that ring is concerned. Vicente begins to lays into Wilds with body shots, but is only short lived as Wilds quickly has enough and catches Vicente with a headbutt. Vicente stumbles back and Wilds hits him with a SuperKick! Vicente head pops up in the air and he turns around into Holiday, who grabs him and connects with a Snap DDT! Wilds steps forward for a second SuperKick to Holiday, but is quickly pushed away, and is turned into a German Suplex from Doc. Holiday quickly rolls with Wilds and wraps him up in the Million Dollar Scream! Lexi Stone: Jaice is going to tap! Jaice is going to tap! Vicente quickly gets to his feet and punts Holiday in the head, breaking the hold. He grabs Holiday and throws him out of the ring, and turns his attention to Wilds. Vicente pulls Wilds to his feet, and Irish whips him against the ropes and meets him with a Springboard Cutter! Vicente quickly rolls over for the pin as Wilds slowly rolls over onto his stomach. Vicente double stomps on Wilds back, and rolls him over onto his back and pins… 1…….. 2………… 630 SENTON SPLASH! Jimmy Garcia: He stopped the count with the 187!
Doc Holiday stands up and instead of going for the cover he just points up at the Clash sign..
Jimmy Garcia: What is he saying?!
Doc rolls out of the ring and just shrugs the match off as the official calls the match off!
DING DING DING
Doc Holiday walks up the ramp and just blows off the opponents in the ring and leaves through the curtain..
Lexi Stone: Did.. did he just leave CruiserClash?
Jimmy Garcia: I think he did!
Lazaro and Jaice stand up..
Jaice Wilds stands in the ring, looking to Lazaro. He extends a hand, nodding to Vincente. Lazaro eyes Jaice up and down, shaking his head and scoffing as he turns. Jaice takes a step forward as Lazaro rolls out of the ring, his hand dropping to the side. Vincente flips Wilds the bird, Wilds' hand balling up. As Lazaro ascends the ramp, Wilds calls for a mic.
Jaice Wilds: Y'know what, Laz? I'm fucking done. We were brothers, man. I tried to be your friend. But somewhere along the way, you managed to lodge your head too far up your ass and your ego expanded it. So if you aren't going to be my friend, you've made yourself an enemy. And unless you're a goddamn coward, I've got an open dance card for Battlefield with your name on it!
The crowd roars, quite on board with this. Vincente squint a bit as he looks down, grabbing a mic from a nearby tech.
Lazaro Vincente: Brothers? That's rich, perro. I didn't realize a brother would try to move in on someone's wife like you've done… But let's be honest with ourselves here, Jaice… I was done with you the moment you intervened in our match against Teo and Jenson… You're obviously jealous of my trajectory in this company and you wanted to put all the eyes on YOU, playing some kind of hero in our match. You showed how selfish you truly are that night and I'm completely DONE with this mutual respect, friendship thing we have going on."
Jaice shakes his head in confusion, then snorts.
Jaice Wilds: You duck me for weeks, then want to throw accusations and potshots?! You got another fucking thing coming!! I don't give a damn what it is; you name the stipulation and we'll see if you have the balls to show up at Battlefield!
Lazaro smiles a cocky smile.
Lazaro Vicente: You know where I come from, to truly cut ties from someone is do it in BLOOD… I want you in a First Blood match, perro!"
Lazaro drops the mic, Jaice nodding as "Epic" by Metalachi hits the speakers. Lazaro walks backwards up the ramp as Wilds leans on the ropes and yells.
Lexi Stone: The gauntlet has been thrown!! These two are ready to cut ties entirely with first blood at Battlefield!!
Jimmy Garcia: It needs to get approval from the management, clearly… but can you imagine what these two can do with that?? What a challenge to end CruiserClash!! Stay tuned for our last Monday Night Clash before Battlefield!! WE'RE OUT OF TIME!!
