Centre Videotron in Quebec City, QC Capacity: 10,867
The show opens with a fantastic pyrotechnics show for the live audience. They go wild as cameras pan around the arena. We then go right to Billy and Chris Avery... Billy: Howdy, y'all! Welcome to another fantastic episode of Monday Night Clash!Chris Avery: It just started, Billy. How do you know it's going to be fantastic?Billy: Because it always is, pal! We've got Muru returning after a four year hiatus! We've got Niobe Martin defending the Television Title! We've got Super Mario in singles action-packed action!Chris Avery: And don't forget! The semi-finals of the Match Madness Tournament take place tonight! Billy: Heck yeah, man!Chris Avery: So let's get to the action, and - Suddenly, the lights go out. They stay out for a good, long, pregnant beat, and then the next source of light is a reddish glare from the entrance ramp, and the squeaking of bent axles and springs of an old, dilapidated vehicle rolling slowly on it's worn tires. The lights go off again, almost in a strobe on-then-off effect, and when the red light fills the stage, a bent, twisted, and evil looking vessel sits upon the dark red stage, sinister wisps of smoke curling from within it's back. The dry ice-smoke curling out from the battered vehicle in the red light gives it the appearance of a demonic harbinger. And then, the vehicle's headlights cut on. And the lights of the arena come fully on, and the crowd sees that it's a familiar ice cream truck... the box truck with the peeled paint and battered sides that belongs to Sicko! Chris Avery: There it is! That damned ice cream truck again pulled up! Billy: I... kind of want to go up to it and buy a snow cone, but... I don't see anybody behind the wheel?? Chris Avery: If I were you I would NOT go buy a snow cone from that truck, but... what is going on??
The ice cream truck goes dark, and the camera peers close in on the driver's side, but can't find anyone sitting behind the wheel of the large, sinister vehicle, which is just sitting by the stage. Chris Avery: Well, ladies and gentlemen, we'll... I guess keep checking on the ice cream truck throughout the night. Billy: The parking enforcement team is going to pitch a fit! Chris Avery: Let's just get to the first match!

#1 Contender Television Title @ April Fools Gold Addy A vs. Isara Lexi Stone: We are honored to kick off Monday Night Clash! Jimmy Garcia: Indeed! Action Wrestling Cruiserweight Champion Addy A could be on her way to a Television Championship Match… if she can defeat The Samoan Striker Isara!!!
“God Eater" by Fear Factory hits the speakers hard as hell and the crowd gets hyped. After 15 seconds, Keynan Isara walks out from the back with a pissed off look on his face. He stands at the top of the ramp, arms crossed over his chest. Jayson Stasiak steps out from the back, helping to hype the crowd, before patting Keynan on the arm. Keynan looks over at Jayson with a smirk on his face before marching down the ramp. Jayson Stasiak points at Keynan as he talks to random fans, telling them how great Keynan is. Keynan jogs up the ring steps and ducks in between the ropes and hops into the ring. He goes to the turnbuckles and poses on each one, just staring out into the crowd with a fierce look on his face before finally hopping down and waiting for the match to begin. Lexi Stone: We typically see Isara involved in Roman Gunn's endeavors. Tonight, Isara steps out on his own path.
The Arena is bathed in a a deep pink hue as the opening of "Nightmare" by Halsey echoes throughout the sold out Action Wrestling venue. "Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I shall die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take" The lights in the venue start pulsating between between the pink hue and the brilliant white light in time with each high hat beat of her entrance music as the first verse punctuates the rabid noise of the crowd. "I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind They talk shit, but I love it every time And I realize" Addy A bursts through the curtain and stands on the stage as the venue goes dark except for a single pink spotlight focused on her at the top of the ramp. "I've tasted blood and it is sweet I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet I've trusted lies and trusted men Broke down and put myself back together again" Plumping up her cleavage she completes a three hundred and sixty degree spin. "Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger" When facing the ring once more she bends over and touches the floor with one hand and slaps herself twice on the ass with her other hand, before heading down the steel to the ring. "I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors" As theme continues continues, on the way to the ring Adelaide randomly picks an audience member, and teases rubbing their face into her cleavage, before wiggling a finger 'no'. "Come on little lady, give us a smile No, I ain't got nothing to smile about I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing" Continuing to school girl skip along to the ring. Once reaching the apron, Addy pulls herself onto the ring apron, she does the splits down on the apron. Pausing as she folds her she under the bottom rope. "I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind They talk shit, but I love it every time And I realize No sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night" She pops up to her feet and covers her mouth in faux shock acting as she didn't intend to show her ass to the crowd. Ethan Miller: Coming to the ring, by way of Venice, California.... Action Wrestling Cruiserweight Champion… ADDY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Lexi Stone: She may represent the presently inactive CruiserClash brand, but tonight… she's fighting for so much more! Jimmy Garcia: You may notice she is without her championship, folks. Last week on Clash, Mercedes Alexus Demareux made her shocking return and she stole the Cruiserweight Championship! Lexi Stone: If I were Addy, I'd be checking local pawn shops in Water Valley, Mississippi. DING DING DING
Addy immediately gets into Isara's face and trash talks him, getting almost nose to chest with him. He just stands there and smirks at her. He puts a hand in her face to make her stop and then points to his jaw and the camera gets closer to pick up what he says: Isara: I'll give you one punch and then it's time to die. Make it count. Jimmy Garcia: Does he really think that is wise? Lexi Stone: We've seen Addy A tear through competition here in Action Wrestling for years. Jimmy Garcia: I've got a bad feeling about this…
Addy shrugs, looks at the audience and without warning punches Isara right in the kisser. Isara doesn't even flinch, he charges forward and executes a perfect lariat which sends Addy ass over teakettle. He stalks over to her, picks her up by the hair and gives her a samoan uppercut. She staggers backwards and then nails him with a dropkick square to his chest. He gets rocked back to the corner. Lexi Stone: Attagirl! Show that big brute who's boss! Jimmy Garcia: Oh! It looks like he wants more of that!
Isara steps out of the corner confidently. He puts a hand out and does the "Bring It" motion. She runs the ropes and on the return tries for a leaping clothesline. He however sees it coming, catches her in midflight, presses her above his head, then literally drops her onto the mat, walks forward wiping his hands as if to imitate he just took out the trash. He again goes to her, picks her up by the hair and she tries to punch him in the gut, he somehow twists his body and her blow glances off his thigh. He picks her up and whips her towards the ropes. On her rebound, he tries for a big boot but she ducks and rolls under it, runs the far ropes and she boots the fuck out of his chest. ~THUD~
Jimmy Garcia: Damn! The echo of that kick alone!
The fans go wild as Addy pumps her fists. Isara charges at Addy and goes for a clothesline, but she ducks under and - in one swift motion - leaps onto his back, wrapping her thighs around him hard enough to stay up. With her hands free, she clobbers the fuck out of the back of his head. He bucks and he bucks, but she holds on tight to the back of his neck with one hand, as she waves her other freely. Addy A: Yyyyeeeeeehhhhaaaaaawwww!!!!!!!1
He reaches back and can't quite reach her, so he slams back into the corner and squashes her. She lets go and he walks out of the corner, mad as heck. When he turns around, she bursts out of the corner, but he catches her with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Jimmy Gracia: Heck of a crash landing! Lexi Stone: She had some serious momentum going for a bit there!
Isara feels the momentum shift and he goes to the corner. He crouches down and stomps his foot in some sort of ritual, as Addy gets up in the middle of the ring. When she turns around, he charges and nails her with a– Jimmy Garcia: SPEAR! SPEAR! SPE–
Lexi Stone: SHE ABSORBED THE SPEAR AND LOCKED HIM IN A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! AND SHE'S CRUSHING HIS RIBS WITH HER THIGHS! Jimmy Garcia: INDEED! ISARA IS IN BAD SHAPE HERE, FOLKS! HE'S NOWHERE NEAR THE ROPES, AND THE LIFE IS BEING CHOKE– Lexi Stone: OHMYGOD!!! ISARA TAPPED! ISARA - TAPPED - OUT!!! DING DING DING
She releases the hold and Isara moves off of her. Ethan Miller: The winner of this match… ADDY AAAAAAA!!!
Her music plays, and Isara rolls out of the ring in defeat. Addy gets to her feet and has her arm raised in victory. Her attention is drawn to the ActionTron, where we now see Mercedes Alexus Demareux with the Cruiserweight Championship over her shoulder. MAD: Addy, Addy, Addy. I ain't watching all that. I'm happy for you though, or sorry that happened. Listen, Addy, you're a disgrace to CruiserClash… and I'm gon’ be the reason the show starts back up. Meet me in Calgary next week and fight me, bitch!
The feed ends and the camera goes back to Addy, who is actually… laughing. She leans into the camera and– Addy A: Who the fuck was that?! LOL!
… and we head to a Paramount+ commercial.

LET'S HEAR FROM TEO BLAZE... Chris Avery: And Ladies and Gentlemen, before our show continues, we have been informed that we are being joined tonight by our World Champion, LIVE from Mexico City!Billy: Mexico City? You think he could bring me back some Chimichangas?Chris Avery: You'll have to ask him yourself partner, let's cut to the feed!The camera pans across a sprawling gym in Mexico, the air thick with the sounds of grunts and the clanging of weights. In the center of the gym, Teo Blaze stands focused, sweat glistening on his brow as he delivers a message via satellite. Teo: "Hey there, Action Faithful. It's your World Champion, Teo Blaze, coming to you live from Mexico City! I know I've been a bit quiet lately, but don't think for a second that I've been slacking off. No, quite the opposite."He pauses, wiping his brow with a towel before turning back to the heavy bag in front of him, delivering a series of thunderous punches. Each blow lands with precision and power, the sound reverberating through the gym with an all-too-familiar Smack! Teo: "I've been pushing myself harder than ever before, gearing up for my upcoming title defense against Jaice Wilds. This isn't just any match, folks. This is a chance for me to prove once and for all that I'm not just a flash in the pan, not just a one-hit wonder. No, I'm here to stay."As he speaks, Teo's intensity is palpable, his determination radiating from every pore as he continues to pound away at the bag with relentless fury. Teo: "Jaice Wilds may be a formidable opponent, but mark my words, I will not back down. I will not falter. I will step into that ring ready to give it everything I've got, and then some. Because that's what it takes to be a champion. That belt around my waist means more than a checkmark, more than a simple way to hold my pants up, it's a duty to carry with each and every moment!"With each punch, Teo's muscles ripple with strength, his form flawless as he channels all of his focus and energy into his training. Sweat pours down his face, mingling with the determination etched into his features. Teo: "So after Last week's show, Jenson and I hopped the first plane down to my stomping grounds, to a Lucha Gym known only to locals. They've been putting me through my paces, let me tell you! Being a Gent is damned hard work, but damned if it isn't worth it.
I've been training day in and day out, pushing myself to the limit and beyond. I've been working with some of the best trainers in the business, honing my skills and refining my technique. I've been studying every move, every strategy, every tactic that Jaice Wilds has ever employed, preparing myself for every eventuality."
Teo's voice is unwavering, his resolve unbreakable as he speaks with unwavering confidence. Teo Blaze: "Because when I step into that ring, I won't just be fighting for myself. I'll be fighting for each and every one of you out there who has supported me from day one. I'll be fighting for everyone who has ever doubted me, everyone who has ever said that I couldn't do it. Because I'm here to prove them all wrong. So to all my fans out there, rest assured that Teo Blaze is ready. Ready to fight. Ready to win! And ready to show the world that when it comes to the World Championship, there's only one name that matters: mine."And with that, Teo gives a nod of determination before returning to his training, the sounds of his punches echoing through the gym as the camera fades to black. Chris Avery: Good to see Teo is taking Match madness seriously!
Billy: Yeah Chris, I think that's the only way he knows how to take things...Wait! I just Realized!
Chris Avery: Yeah?
Billy: I forgot to give him my lunch order! put him back on!
Chris Avery: Oh Brother, we'll be right back folks.

Raja vs. Niobe Martin(c)
The camera comes in close as we focus on the ice cream truck, sitting by the side of the entrance ramp. Chris Avery: Still no movement from inside that ominous truck, but let's move on! We have a big match right here, the first defense for the NEW Television Champ!
Raja steps through the curtain and walks to a spot at the top of the ramp. The crowd boos as he slowly raises his hands palms up to just above his head. He turns his head to the left and then back towards the ring and heads down the ramp.. Ethan Miller: Please welcome.. From the Tripura, India, weighing 235 pounds, RAJA!
Raja steps up the steel steps and heads through the ropes and steps into the ring. He goes right to the turnbuckles and lifts up his attire so he can stand clear and then stares out at the crowd who is booing him. He steps down off the turnbuckles and slips off the entrance attire and folds it in half and sets it outside of the ring. 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. Ethan Miller "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 Action Wrestling Television Champion....... "The Living 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.."
Shifting back to the ring, the camera picks up that Nibe is already in the ring and standing behind Rja, who is completely oblivious and is still waiting for her to appear on the stage. Unfortunately for "The Forgotten Prince" the referee saw the newest Television Champion and quickly called for the bell! DING DING DING
Utterly confused, Raja got into the face of the referee and began complaining; to him, Niobe hadn't even arrived! However, this gave "The Living Nightmare" a very clear advantage and it wasn't something that she was going to pass on! Therefore, while Raja complained like a bitch, Niobe quickly rolled him up with the most devastating move in all of professional wrestling; the schoolboy pin! ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!DING DING DING
Managing to kick out just a half second too late, Raja; after a brief moment of bewilderment; got to his knees and began arguing with the referee. Getting to heated that he even got to his feet to throw his tantrum over being outsmarted. Yet, despite her devious maneuver securing her the victory, Niobe wasn't done and went and planted a stiff kick to Raja's crown Jewels from behind! Now in a state of immense pain and shock to go with his confusion, the bigger man slowly turned to face Niobe with a look that screamed "Why would you do that?" as he hunched over with his hands clutching his groin. Niobe, with a twisted smile on her face, merely blew Raja a kiss before planting him with a DDT! Still not finished; Niobe kipped up to her feet and attempted to drag Raja closer to the corner. After a few tries, she screamed at the referee to help her and the now confused official obliged. Why? Dunno, maybe they were scared of pissing off the little pack of dynamite that was "The Living Nightmare"? Either way, with the help of the referee, Niobe got Raja into position and ascended to the top rope. Niobe Martin: Watch carefully, Jacob!
After taking a quick moment to scream into the camera, Niobe leaped into the air before raining down like a firebomb to crush Raja's ribs with PHANTASM HORROR; the deadliest shooting star press in the game today! Satisfied, Niobe snatched the Television Championship from the referee's grasp, once said ref remembered what their job actually was and began celebrating her first championship defense.

BROTHERHOOD SEGMENT
We return form break and we see 5 men standing in the center of the ring. On one side is Cipher and Kevin Bishop holding the Action Wrestling Tag Team Titles. On the other side you see Trent Hunter and X Rated- The Elite. And in the center standing behind a desk is General Manager of Clash, Brady Bolt holding a microphone. Brady Bolt: Now now now. Welcome back folks. I am SO excited to be here with the Legendary team of The Elite right now! And I can’t help but feel a little giddy to see the most dominant tag team that Action Wresting \has seen in some time The New Brotherhood!
But I must say, I’m a bit disappointed in the 4 of you. All we wanted was for the 4 of you to play nice and have some friendly competition. But every time that you all get in the ring with each other it’s just chaos. Mayhem. A Third thing.
Some people got in my ear. ‘Maybe if we give them more rules they’ll have no choice but to follow them.’ So we said that last week there would be no partner’s allowed at ringside. Lo and behold you all broke those rules again.
So lets do what I wanted to do from the beginning. We need no rules. Because you guys wouldn’t follow them anyway. We need to contain you because you guys could go anywhere. And we need to insert our own mayhem.
So this is what I’m presuming. I have in my hand a contract for a Tag Team Championship match putting together these two legendary teams. Inside of a cell, with tables… ladders… AND CHAIRS!!!! That’s right folks. A Hell in a Cell TLC match. The winner will be the first team to pin a member of the other team or to force a member of the other team to submit. The ring will be covered in Tables Ladders and Chair, all will be legal in this match. You all will have nowhere to go, and only one team can walk out victorious.He puts the contract on the table and pulls out a pen. Brady Bolt: Now, if you would kindly…
Cipher rushes to the table and signs the contract. Bishop methodically walks over and signs his name as well. They back off and the members of the Elite as eagerly sign the contract. Cipher and X Rated leave the ring and head to get weapons behind Brady’s back. Brady Bolt: Well, wasn’t that absolutely civilized. You heard it right here folks. Next week at Match Madness the Action Wrestling tag team championship will be up for grabs as The Elite take on the Tag Team Champions in a Hell in a Cell TLC match…
Suddenly out of no where Cipher hits Trent Hunter over the head with a chair. X Rated has gone out the other side and grabbed a ladder, set it up on the outside of the ring and jumps into the ring with a flying clothesline knocking down Kevin Bishop. Cipher and X Rated look at Bolt in front of the table, and Bolt leaves the ring as both men come running toward each other and deliver contradicting clotheslines knocking them both to the ground. Bishop and Hunter have gotten up and both men lift up their down opponent and simultaneously body slam them through the table causing it to break under the force of two full grown men. Hunter and Bishop eye each other up, both roll out of the ring and come back with steel chairs. They are standing over their down partners like a Mexican stand off. Bishop calls for a truce and Hunter appears to agree. Both men put their weapons down and check on their partners who both come up to a sit, rubbing their heads. Bishop and Hunter are on one knee next to their recovering partners and all 4 men stare each other down as the scene fades away.

Muru vs. DRAUGR
Billy: Ol’ DRAUGR got knocked out of the Match Madness Tournament, but he's hopin’ to bounce back tonight against the returning Muru! Chris Avery: Returning? Billy: He had two matches back in February 2020, and then kinda vanished. But now he's back! He wants to prove to himself he still "has it" and make one last good run before hanging it up for good. Chris Avery: Ah, okay. Well, heck of a way to return today… against the mighty DRAUGR of all people.
The lights flicker throughout the arena before going to darkness, and "Become Immortal" by Kreator fills the void. Red light emits from the heavens and hell, as smoke fills the stage. The strongest of the strong, DRAUGR emerges slowly from the smoke and stops dead center on the stage. He turns his head toward the entrance, and out comes Lexi Sparkles. She walks to the side of the mighty DRAUGR and gives him a nod. He steadily walks down the ramp as she follows behind at a reasonable pace. Ethan Miller: Making his way to the ring at this time... being accompanied by Lexi Sparkles... weighing in at one hundred and twenty-five kilograms... he... is... DRAUGR!
The roar of emotions from the crowd are understandably split as DRAUGR approaches the ring. When he reaches the ring, he stands totally still until Lexi catches up to him. She places a hand on his shoulder and then points to the ring. DRAUGR vertical leaps to the ring apron, then effortlessly steps over the top rope. He calmly steps to the center, ready for the action to begin. Billy: That man has been dang impressive over the last six months, pal! Chris Avery: I hope we get to see more of him and Lexi Sparkles in tag team action-packed action!
[Up on the tron a picture of the earth is seen. The earth then explodes as pyro and explosions fill the arena. The entrance ramp is filled with smoke as "Handshakes To Fist Fights" by Devour The Day begins to play. Muru then walks out through the smoke and makes his way down the ramp. Along the way to the ring he slaps the hands of a few fans and then he slides into the ring. Once in the ring he gets to his feet and raises his hands to the air as the crowd cheers] Billy: What an entrance! Chris Avery: And the fans seem to be really into him! That's a good start! DING DING DING
The two combatants meet up in the center of the ring and Muru shows no fear. Muru makes the first move by chopping DRAUGR’s chest repeatedly. He goes to whip DRAUGR, who doesn’t budge and instead sends Muru into the ropes. On the rebound, DRAUGR back body drops Muru in the center of the ring. He quickly follows it up with a standing moonsault, followed by the cover. ONE!
KICKOUT!!Billy: Ol’ DRAUGR hittin’ that big ol’ moonsault early! Chris Avery: We've waited four years for Muru's return. It would be a shame to see it end so soon.
DRAUGR grabs Muru up and whips him into the corner. He charges in and Muru springs up, kicking DRAUGR square in the jaw. DRAUGR turns around and holds his chin as Muru pushes up to the middle rope in the corner, then stands on the top rope. He leaps off and takes DRAUGR down with a diving crossbody. Billy: High risk! High reward! Chris Avery: There's the cover! ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!Muru gets up and he pumps his fists. The fans clap along to the beat. DRAUGR gets to his feet and Muru approaches. DRAUGR grabs Muru by the throat, pushing him quickly to the nearest corner. In one swift motion, DRAUGR hoists Muru up to a seated position on the top rope. Out of desperation, Muru pulls DRAUGR in, kneeing him in the jaw. DRAUGR releases his hold on Muru’s throat and backs out of the corner. Muru stands tall on the top rope again and then annihilates DRAUGR with a diving double knee attack. Billy: He call that the KNEE TO NOSE BASIS!!
The fans pop for that maneuver, and Muru covers the mighty DRAUGR. ONE!
TWO!!
THR – KICKOUT!!!Billy: WAS THAT IT?! Chris Avery: It appears as though DRAUGR kicked out at the last moment!
Muru pumps his fists and the fans go wild. He reaches down as DRAUGR is pushing up off of the mat. Muru pulls DRAUGR halfway up before signaling for the end of this match. Chris Avery: What an impressive start to his long-awaited career here in Action Wrestling! Billy: OH NO!
DRAUGR surprises Muru by hoisting him up and plants him on the mat with a reverse thrown death valley driver. Chris Avery: DØD OUTTA NOWHERE!!! Billy: LAUNCHED HIM CLEAR 'CROSS THE RING!!!
DRAUGR gets up and goes over to cover Muru. ONE!
TWO!!
THR - - KICKOUT!!!Billy: HOW THE HELL DID HE KICK OUT?!
DRAUGR is up and irate. He drags Muru up from the mat and shoves him into the nearest corner. He lights Muru up with a barrage of strikes, and then storms to the middle of the ring. He lets out a mighty roar and charges full steam to the corner. He leaps into the air for a high splash. As he nears contact, Muru squats down and grabs DRAUGR by the legs out of desperation, and dumps him over the top rope. The mighty DRAUGR crashes onto the steel steps and then tumbles to the floor outside of the ring. Billy: DAMN! THAT WEREN'T PRETTY!
Muru drops to his knees, feeling the effects of DRAUGR's attack. Unbeknownst to him, the mighty DRAUGR is not in good shape outside of the ring. Lexi is now by his side as he holds his left shoulder. The referee begins his count. ONE...
TWO...
THREE...DRAUGR tries to sit up, leaning against the steel steps. FOUR...
FIVE...
SIX...He turns and pushes up from the steps right only his right arm, as his left arm seems to be severely damaged. Chris Avery: If he doesn't beat the count, this is over with! Billy: It don't look like he can beat anything right now, pal! SEVEN...
EIGHT...
NINE...As DRAUGR is within reach of entering the ring, Lexi grabs his right arm and begs him not to get in the ring. TEN!!! Chris Avery: WHAT?! DING DING DING
Lexi hugs DRAUGR, who is now staring up at Muru. Muru shows deep concern for his opponent, as the referee raises his arm in victory. Chris Avery: It took four years for Muru to make his way back to Action Wrestling, and he just picked up a HUGE victory over the mighty DRAUGR!

LET'S HEAR FROM JONNY CEDRONE...
Monday Night Clash returns from commercial break and we’re met with Jade Riley standing at the entrance way. The fans in attendance give the lovely interviewer a big pop as she begins to speak. Jade: Ladies and gentlemen, with Match Madness coming at us in just six short days, we’re rolling into that weekend on fire! Some huge matches already have been made and even more huge matches still waiting to materialize. We have two huge Main Events tonight that will name the two finalists going to Match Madness and crown the winner of the tournament and the Number One Contender to the Action Wrestling World Championship. Billy: What two great Main Events we have tonight too Jade! Odin Balfore taking on Gerard Angelo and Tatiana Jolee taking on Jody Madrox! Jade: It’s really hard to pick a winner out either one of those matches, that’s for sure! The fans here in Quebec are in for a treat…as they are every time Action Wrestling comes to town!
The fans give a huge pop! Jade: But before we get to those matches, allow me to introduce a man who fought two of the best athletes in this industry last week in order to seal his spot in the Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship at Match Madness! Ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you, the one…the only…Jonny CEDRONE!!
The fans in attendance give an even bigger pop as “Broken, Beat and Scarred” blares over the PA System! Chris Avery: They love them some Jonny Cedrone here in Canada Billy! Billy: Are you noticing what I’m noticing? Chris Avery: Sounds like Jonny’s still trying to figure out what he wants as his theme music.
After a few brief moments, Jonny comes through the curtains dressed in gray dress pants, a pair of expensive looking dress shoes and a black short-sleeved shirt that I’m sure still costs about half of your mortgage. The fans erupt as soon as he makes his presence through that curtain. He stops at the top of the stage and looks out at the crowd, soaking in the adulation from the fans. He makes his way over to Jade and says something into the microphone. Jonny: Jade honey, I’ll be right back. I gotta go say Hi so some people!
Jade smiles and nods as Jonny makes his way down the aisle and slapping the hands of the fans on his right side heading towards the ring. He stops and takes pictures with some, stops and signs an autograph or two, but he makes sure to give love to each and every fan along the way. He continues around the ring, stops at the steps, makes his way up the steps, along the apron and into the ring to a huge ovation from the fans where he outstretches his arms and yells something excitedly and inaudible to them! He climbs all four corners and plays to the crowd even more before exiting the ring and makes his way back up towards Jade, continuing to slap the hands of the fans along the way. Billy: He really connects with the fans doesn’t he? Chris Avery: He’s not the People’s Champ for nothing!
Jonny has reached Jade now as his music fades out. Jade: You’ve really got every one of these 10,000 plus people on their feet Jonny!
The fans erupt once more as Jonny takes in a deep breath and lets it back out with a huge grin. Jonny: It’s true what they say isn’t it? Canada really is the nicest place on Earth, isn’t it?!
The crowd gives another huge pop. Jade: It sure sounds and looks like it! Jonny: The great People of Quebec can feel it Jade! The electricity is in the air! Excitement is in the air! Tension is in the air! Jade: So thick that you can cut it with a knife! Jonny: And it’s so palpable that you can feel it, you can see it, you can smell it… you can damn sure hear it!
The crowd gives another huge pop! Jade: Jonny, if you don’t mind, I’d like to ask a question… Jonny: Jade, my dear, asking questions is what you get paid to do and there’s nobody in this entire world that does as good of a job askin’ those questions as you do! But before we get there, let me turn the script on ya. Jade: Okay? Jonny: Later tonight we have two huge Main Events. Two Semi-Final Rounds in the Match Madness Tournament. In one match you’ve got Odin Balfore and Gerard Angelo and in the other one you have Tatiana Jolee and Jody Madrox.
Now, despite my havin’ my own personal issues with a few of them, all four competitors are fantastic athletes! Former and future World Champions without question!
Who do you have going into Match Madness in the Finals?Jade ponders on the question for a moment. Jade: I think, given the talent of those four individuals that no matter who wins these matches tonight, the Finals match is going to be a barn-burner for sure!
Jonny shoots her a grin. Jonny: That has got to be the most politically correct answer I’ve ever heard in my life. Jade: Who do you think will win? Jonny: Honestly? Absolutely nothin’ against Jody Madrox. I think he’s one of the best in-ring talent this company has and I guarantee that he will be World Champion some day, but I’m gonna have to go with Tatiana. Not to say that Jody isn’t hungry, but Tatiana has shown that hunger and has fought and scratched and clawed her way all the way to the top of the Mountain once before. She’s tasted that Gold before. She knows what it feels like and she wants…no she NEEDS to get that feelin’ back once again. That hunger and that need will be the deciding factor in her match against Madrox here tonight.
The fans give a pop. Jade: And what about Gerard Angelo and Odin Balfore? Jonny: Well? Honestly? Everything against Balfore, my money’s on Angelo. Is it because he was my tag team partner? Is it because we held the Tag Team Gold together? Or is it because I hate Balfore that much that I just can’t stomach – I can’t even fathom letting those words pass my lips “Odin Balfore can and will beat Gerard Angelo to advance to the Finals at Match Madness”.
I guess maybe a combination of the two.The fans laugh. Jonny: All joking aside, the fine People of Quebec, the fine People of Canada, and all the fine People all around the world watchin’ at home are in for a treat tonight when those four hungry and determined individuals collide in that ring to see who moves on to Match Madness in the Finals where once and for all we get an undisputed winner of the tournament and crown a brand new Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship!
The fans give a huge pop! Jade: But you’re not going into Match Madness empty-handed. This Sunday you’re involved in a Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship as you take on TJ Alexander and the US Champion himself, Doc Holiday.
Jonny nods. Jade: Speaking of the Match Madness tournament and speaking of the US Champion Doc Holiday, you had your chance to advance in the tournament and win the US Championship, when in the first round you faced Doc Holiday. That night, you weren’t successful in your goals. That night, Doc Holiday got the best of you. How do you feel your odds are of winning at Match Madness? Jonny: You just had to bring all that up didn’t ya? You just had to bring back all of those feelings of disappointment and anger didn’t ya?!
It’s okay though! I know you’re only doin’ your job! We all know you’re the best there is too!Another pop from the fans. Jonny: But you’re right Jade. I came up a little short. But when Doc left the ring that night, he didn’t leave with the feelin’ that he had the win in the bag the entire match. No, no! He left with a few more bumps and bruises than he had when he entered the match, and he left knowin’ that he had just went through Hell with the best wrestler alive today, Jonny Cedrone!
The fans give another big pop! Jonny: Doc Holiday left that night knowin’ that if and when our paths were to ever cross again that he wouldn’t be as lucky! Jade: And you, yourself, had to earn your way into that spot in the Triple Threat match at Match Madness. Jonny: Yes I did. Last week, right here on Monday Night Clash, I faced two of the best performers and two of the greatest wrestlers this industry has to offer in Vespertine and Karlie Nash!
A big pop for the two competitors! Jonny: The three of us went to war last week and though I’m confident in my abilities in the ring and even though I knew I had the size advantage over my two opponents last week, I did NOT walk into that match knowin’ without a shadow of a doubt that I’d be makin’ my way to Match Madness and fightin’ for the US Championship. In order to take away the size advantage, all you have to do is take the legs out from under your opponent and that’s exactly what those two warriors did last week!
So I have to thank them for a fantastic fight and congratulate them on a job well done! I hope neither one of you feel that just because they didn’t win that match that there’s no future for you here in Action Wrestling because when I say that both of you are World Champion caliber wrestlers, I mean every single syllable! You two gave me the fight of my life and I honestly look forward to meetin’ you in the ring again!
Another pop from the fans. Jonny: Oh! And uh…not bad for a “part-timer”, huh?
Jonny winks into the camera. Jonny: But that leads me to Match Madness. At Match Madness I take on another two well-rounded, fantastic athletes like Action Wrestling is well-known for producin’!
Doc Holiday, our part in this match writes itself. A couple of short weeks ago you beat me and kept the US Championship. You continued into the Match Madness tournament until you were eliminated by your partner from a few weeks ago when Niobe Martin and I beat ya, Jody Madrox. I was probably the loudest one in the arena that night when I cheered for that win!! You got your comeuppance from Madrox for the way you acted during that tag match, and this Sunday, you get your comeuppance once again when I’m the one that walks out of the Calgary Stampede Saddledome with the United States Championship!
A pop from the crowd. Jonny: TJ Alexander. This will be our first encounter with one another. I’m sure it won’t be our last though. You’re hungry. You’re well-deserving of bein’ in this match. But are you hungry enough, are you well-deserving enough to walk out with the US Championship around your waist? You have the skills, you have the drive, you have the aerial assault and the adaptability to win matches…but do you have what it takes to win this match?
I’m not tryin’ to discredit ya and I’m not tryin’ to say that you’re a nonfactor in this match because you definitely are! Doc and I could have one another knocked out in the middle of the ring and all it’ll take from you is to find one of our carcasses and pin the shoulders to the mat and you walk out with the win and the US Championship! Your first Gold here in Action Wrestlin’! A win that you would’ve deserved but not a win that you would’ve earned. But then again, all it takes is a three count or a submission and anyone’s dreams come true!
And that’s exactly what’s gonna happen at Match Madness! While I’m not here to discredit you, I am here to let you know that any hopes and dreams that you have in winnin’ at Match Madness will go up in flames because it won’t be you who will walk out as the victor. It won’t be Doc who will walk out as the victor.
It’s gonna be ME who walks out as the victor and as the United States Champion once again!
“Broken, Beat and Scarred” starts playing in the background as Jonny finishes up. Jonny: I’m bringin’ the Championship back home to the People where it belongs!!! Jade: There ya have it folks! Just who WILL walk out of that Triple Threat match with the US Championship?! We’ll find out in six short days! Right now, a word from our sponsor!
The fans erupt as Jonny plays to them some more and Clash goes to back to commercials.

LET'S HEAR FROM KARLIE NASH...
The show cut to the back to Jade. Jade Riley: I’m here with….. Karlie Nash: These ignorant Quebecers know who I am, jade. Jade Riley: Tonight is the final stop before match madness, and tonight you're there with TJ Alexander thoughts? Karlie Nash: Man do I hate the province of Quebec, why can’t they just be like the rest of Canada.
Karlie smirks. Karlie Nash: Your right Jade tonight is the final stop before Match Madness, and tonight I like you said in there with TJ Alexander, honestly Jade I’m just here tonight because I’m contractually obligated to, do I care about wrestling Tj Alexander, there’s nothing in this match for me, Jade, TJ has his spot secured at Match Madness, me I be watching from the sidelines which I’m okay with because to be honest I’ve had enough of Canada, and i’ll be glad when we’re back in the United States again, as for tonight I’m asking for our match to go on first, so I can be out of this place early, as for TJ I give him a good warmup match before Match Madness, tonight and whatever happens, happens I just don’t care. Have a good night.
Karlie then walks off.
Karlie Nash vs. TJ Alexander
Billy: Powerful words from Karlie Nash right there, pal. Chris Avery: She doesn't seem to care about this match, but I bet TJ Alexander does. He's one week away from a shot at the United States Championship.
(Please write out how your character's entrance will be used for results writing) Billy: Did you know that Canada's national animal is actually the beaver? Chris Avery: I did not know that. Billy: I bet Karlie Nash did. Chris Avery: ... Billy: ...
Knuckle Up by Snowgoons blasts in the arena as Karlie steps on the stage with her back to the crowd. Ethan Miller: Coming to you from Grand Marais Minnesota, being accompanied to the ring by Tracy Dixon and Hilda Meyer, weighing one hundred and seventy two-pounds, The Premier Athlete Karlie Nash.
Karlie walks to the ring ignoring the crowd, she climbs the ropes from the outside, and gives a thumbs down to the fans, then lowers her hood and smirks at the crowd, she steps down from the ropes inside the ring, removes her hoodie and stretches in the corner. Billy: Tracy and Hilda are lookin' lovely as always. Chris Avery: If you say so. Billy: I do. DING DING DING
As soon as the bell rang, we see TJ extend his hand out for a handshake. Karlie swipes his hand and does her wrestling stance, as they circle around one another. Then they do a collar and elbow, and Karlie locks in a Headlock on TJ, but TJ reverses it into a Wrist Lock on Karlie. Karlie then kneels on her knee, but she gets on her feet and grabs TJ by his hair to break the hold, which the ref catches and warns her. Billy: Must be a Canadian ref. They always follow the rules to the letter.
Karlie then follows up with a series of Shin Kicks to his upper thigh muscles, and she does a Spin Kick to his midsection that knocks him on his knees. Then she follows up with a Shining Wizard on TJ. Chris Avery: There's the cover!! ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!Then she locks in a Chinlock on TJ, then after about ten minutes had past, TJ manages to get on his feet and he elbows her in the midsection, and he Irish Whips her to the ropes and does a leapfrog and connects with a series of Dropkicks on Karlie, then he catches her with a Jumping Arm Bar and immediately locks it in. Billy: What a maneuver! Chris Avery: But is it enough to get the job done?
Then we see her wincing in pain as he locked it in. Then one of Karle’s lackeys manges to put her right foot onto the bottom rope. Then the ref sees it, and TJ was told to let go. Karlie then slowly gets back on her feet, while shaking her left arm. TJ then grabs her left arm and elbows it, then he takes her to the corner and as he was walking on it, Karlie manages to have him land on his family jewels on the top rope. Billy: That ain't good!
Karlie then takes advantage and she shakes it up and down, until the ref counted to three. Karlie backs away with a laugh, as TJ was being checked on the ref. Karlie then stomps on the grounded TJ, and even manages to lock in a Kneebar on his left leg. TJ head was near the lackeys side of the ring and the start to eye gouge TJ. Chris Avery: Oh come on!
Then the two lackeys of Karlie get barred from the ring side by the ref in the match which caused the fans to cheer in relief. Chris Avery: That's better!
After some minutes of Karlie holding the leg, TJ manages to roll himself over slowly, grabbing her leg and locking in a Single Leg Lock. She manages to get herself to the rope to break the hold. TJ backs up and lets Karlie on her feet, then she turns to see her lackeys aren’t there. Billy: She's on her own now!
Karlie then pleas TJ not to hurt her, and she points the ref to something. Then Karlie then does Ric Flair style low blow to TJ a couple of times, and TJ was in pain. Then she back rakes TJ, and she does it again until her nails are deep on his back leaving a mark. Karlie then gives TJ a stiff Headbutt, then she hits a Manhattan Drop on TJ. Then she manages to give him a Suplex on TJ, then she taunts TJ to get up and she was about to hit him with a Unsportsmanlike Conduct. TJ manages to duck the line, and comes back with a Bicycle Kck on Karlie that made her stumble back a bit. Chris Avery: TJ Alexander is coming back strong! Billy: What's he goin' for now?!
Then he hits her with a Crash Landing with all his might and covers her. ONE!
TWO!!
THR--
KICKOUT!!!TJ is shocked that Karlie kicked out of that maneuver. He drags her up off of the canvas and hooks her for a one winged angel, but she counters it with an absolutely brutal clothesline from hell that makes his soul cry out to the heavens. Billy: SHITFIRE! UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT!!! Chris Avery: This could be it! There's the cover!ONE!
TWO!!
THR--LIGHTS OUT
LIGHTS ON Billy: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!!Chris Avery: LOOK! TJ HAS HIS ARM OVER KARLIE!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR--
EEEEEEEEE!!!
DING DING DING
Billy: What did we just witness?!
Chris Avery: There was a strange message on the ActionTron a few weeks back when Karlie Nash faced the mighty DRAUGR. It's clear now that someone is after her!

LET'S HEAR FROM DOC HOLIDAY...
The program cuts back to the crowd who eagerly awaits what is to come in this action-packed night. As they talk amongst themselves an all too familiar song blasts over the PA system. "Look Have mercy on me, have mercy on my soul Don't let my heart turn cold Have mercy on me, have mercy on my soul Don't let my heart turn cold Have mercy on many men Many, many, many, many men Wish death 'pon me Yeah, I don't cry no mo' I don't look to the sky no mo' 'Cause I got it on me" A spotlight shines on Doc Holiday as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp decked out in a black Armani with a white undershirt and red flowing tie. His head slowly bobs to the music as he walks to the ring, the United States title slung over his left shoulder. Fans reach out to touch him, he obliges and slap hands with a few of them as he walks to the ring and up the steel steps and slides through the the middle rope, going to the center of the ring where he embraces the cheers from the crowd with a sly smirk and his arms out. Green pyro's go off behind him as he lifts his arms, shooting from left to right and then right to left. Doc: Quebec City! How we feeling tonight??!?!?
The crowd goes crazy as Doc fires them up. Doc: You know I wish I could say I feel the same as you do, but I have to admit that I don't.
Taking a moment to pause Doc has a somewhat annoyed look on his face. Doc: I ''should" be wrestling Tatiana tonight, but guess what? I fumbled the bag. Just like every single damn time I've been given the opportunity. I get to the point where I start making a run, and I'm making waves here in AW and BOOM! I get sent right back down to earth. Maybe I'm never meant to be the guy holding the World Title, defending it at every PPV, being ambassador for the brand. Maybe I'm LUCKY to even be where I'm at in this company? You know ladies and gentleman, it took a lot of soul searching to really process that loss to Jody, because I had my sights set on being in the semi-finals. I overlooked Jody and for that I paid the price heavily. So Jody, brother, I know we've had our differences in the past, but best of luck to you the rest of the tournament!
The crowd cheers as Doc wishes Jody a sincere acknowledgement. Doc: Now that I'm done bitching and whining, I've decided that I can approach this one of two ways. I can here let this shit eat at me everyday until I get another opportunity OR I can focus on defending this chunk of gold that rests right on my shoulders. This is a title that EVERYONE strives for and wishes they could obtain, it's a title that I knew once I had I would be among the best in this company. It's a title that I worked my way up to and it's a title that paints a pretty big target on your back. So at Match Madness not only am I defending this title against one person, I'm defending it against two other people in a three-way match! It seems like the deck is stacked against me heavily. However, I think you need to check the stats, because I ALWAYS bounce back. I take my L's and turn them into Lessons. And when the odds are stacked against me, I always come out on top, despite what 'O' does, despite what Jonny and TJ try to do, or Lady Bolt!
The Crowd starts to chant after the end of Doc's speech HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! HOLI-DAY! Doc: Now let me make this very clear to my good friends TJ and Jonny Cedrone. You're not catching me off a loss and vulnerable. You're catching me with a hunger to prove something and you two are just the ones that get to feel the wrath of what I'm going to dub as "The Reign of Pain". We're going to start with Match Madness and I'm going hold this title until they strip me of it, because no one in this company is having fun anymore. I will not look at our past fights and figure you both as easy wins, because just like me, you see this title as something that deserves some credibility and you're just the person to do that. The only difference between us is that I have title and you don't. Taking it from me will be like unsheathing Excalibur, you are not worthy enough to reign. So TJ get you're finest leather pants out and Jonny do whatever silly shit you gotta do, because taking this title away from me is going to be no easy task. I'll be ready, because now you two are my primary focus and when the dust all settles and the ring looks like there was a massacre, know that only ONE man will be standing, holding the United States Title high in the air. The announcer will call out "ANNNNNNNND STILLLLLLLL!". You're playing my game now and I'm in the business of breaking mother fuckers! THIS IS...
pausing for a moment Doc let's the crowd chant! "WAR!"
Doc: ...WAR!!!
"Many Men" by Pop Smoke plays as drops the mic and exits the ring walking up the apron holding the United States Title high in the air as he does so.

Super Mario vs. Jacob Koenig
Chris Avery: Last week, a man calling himself Super Mario made his in-ring debut in a tag team match, where his partner Jacob Koenig walked out on him without even trying to help out. Billy: What you mean “a man calling himself” Super Mario, pal? That IS Super Mario!! Chris Avery: Super Mario is a platform game series created by Nintendo starring their mascot, Mario. Billy: And he’s also a real man runnin’ a family Mafia empire in Manhattan and Brooklyn! Chris Avery: The Mafia doesn’t operate in the open, Billy. Billy: Don’t let gaps in logic ruin the magic for the kids at home, pal! Chris Avery: I sincerely hope kids aren’t watching our program. Shout out to Scott Slayer. Hopefully his parents let him come back to Action Wrestling one day. Billy: … Chris Avery: …
as smoke fills the stage a green pipe rises up and Mario rises up out of the pipe and raps the lyrics to his theme as he high fives the crowd and leads the crowd in doing the Mario then sits in the corner staring a death glare at his opponent waiting patiently for the bell to ring Chris Avery: Who is he glaring at, Billy? There’s nobody in the ring. Billy: Oh, that’s just Ned the Intern having fun while producing the show, pal.
Ethan Miller is standing in the ring, ready to announce the opponent. As he lifts up his microphone, he hears something in his earpiece and pauses. Showing concern on his face, he nods his head. Ethan Miller: I have just been informed that Jacob Koenig was found incapacitated backstage, and has been rushed to a local medical facility. Billy: What the heck?! Chris Avery: That son of a bitch! Super Mario put a hit out on Jacob Koenig because of last week’s match on Clash! Billy: Oh no! Chris Avery: He offered up $325,000 to anyone who would take Koenig out! Billy: That’s wild! Chris Avery: Sure is! Billy: I told ya that Mafia stuff was real! Chris Avery: I’m still not buying it, but our thoughts and prayers are with Jacob Koenig right now.
Super Mario stands in the middle of the ring smiling. He calls out for the referee to raise his arm. The referee is stopped by Ethan Miller, who whispers something into his ear. The referee nods his head. Ethan Miller: I have just been informed that a suitable replacement has been found to replace Jacob Koenig tonight! Billy: WHAT?! Ethan Miller: Making his RETURN to Action Wrestling… currently residing in Brooklyn, New York… he weighs in tonight at two hundred and thirty pounds… and stands at SEVEN FEET TALL… THON MAKERRRR!!!!!!
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. He points both arms down and makes a fist and shadow punches towards the ground and then raises them back into the air as a small pyro blasts behind him! Billy: We ain’t seen him in almost two years! Chris Avery: He went from South Sudan to the NBA to debuting at Evolution V!
He points to the sky with one hand and continues walking down the ramp, looking out at the fans. Some boo, some cheer, but Thon is all smiles as he climbs up the steps onto the apron and walks across to the middle and looks out at the crowd on the ramp side. He smiles again as he steps over the ropes and points both arms up to the sky and walks directly into the ropes stomach first and roars out at the crowd! Billy: I can’t believe what we’re seeing! Thon Maker is BACK and he’s fightin’ SUPER MARIO! Chris Avery: 2024 truly is the darkest timeline. DING DING DING
Mario and Thon circle around the ring for a minute before Thon hits him with a furious right hand sending Mario back! Thon with another right hand! He ties up his arm and climbs up the turnbuckles, walks the tight top rope and jumps off with a fist to the back of Mario sending him down! Billy: What a shot!
Mario gets up and Thon whips him into the turnbuckles! Thon crashes in with a running clothesline causing Mario to stumble out as Thon hits the ropes and comes back with a MEAN right boot to the head of Mario! Sends him crashing down! Chris Avery: There’s the cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!Mario is lifted up and Thon puts him right into big bear hug! He clutches him tight and holds on for dear life! Mario is losing energy and his mind by the second! Thon sends him over the top rope to the apron! Chris Avery: Thon Maker is damn impressive in his return! Billy: Super Mario needs to power up or somethin’!
Thon comes charging back with a big boot but Mario sidesteps and Thon gets caught on the top rope, groin-first! Mario comes back with a forearm to the back of Thon sending him crashing towards the turnbuckles back into the ring! Billy: That man done leveled up! Chris Avery: And he’s not done yet!
Mario gets back into the ring and hits the ropes, comes back with a clothesline to Thon from behind sending him stumbling forward to the ropes! Mario bounces off the ropes again and just hits a jumping clothesline and it sends Thon down! Chris Avery: There’s the cover! ONE!
KICKOUT!!Thon immediately rolls out of the ring. Mario follows him to the outside and grabs him, turning him around and whipping him into the ring post! Thon bounces off of it and stumbles to the railing but when Mario comes near, Thon hits a right hand and then shoves Mario into the ring post! Billy: Well, well, well. How the turntables… Chris Avery: …
Mario rolls onto the apron as Thon climbs up and gets into the ring! Thon grabs Mario and goes for a chokeslam but Mario kicks Thon in the upper-thigh! Thon backs up and Mario hits the high-knee to Thon causing him to stumble back! Mario hits the CLOTHESLINE FROM BROOKLYN sending Thon crashing into the bottom rope! Billy: ALMOST TOOK HIM DOWN AGAIN!
Mario gets up and just leaps into the air and hits a cutter on Thon!! Billy: TAKE-A-THIS!!
Thon gets halfway up and Mario hits him with a big boot! Billy: TAKE-A-THAT!!
Thon goes down and struggles to move. Mario is quick to get to the nearest corner, where he climbs up the ropes. He double stomps Thon from the top rope. Billy: SUPER MARIO STOMP!!! Chris Avery: THERE’S THE COVER!!!
Mario pins Thon over and is hooking both legs! ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!DING DING DING
“Do the Mario” starts to play and Super Mario gets to his feet, where the referee raises his arm in victory. Ethan Miller: The winner of this match… SUPER--
His microphone cuts out. He taps it a few times. Nothing happens. The lights go out. The ActionTron lights up and we see-- Billy: SHITFIRE!!! Chris Avery: IT’S ZOMBIE MCMORRIS!!!
Z is standing in a dark place (or maybe THE Dark Place) with a small light emitting from behind him. Z: Yeah, uh huh, um, uh huh, okay. Hello, motherfucker. Hey. Hi. How ya doin’? It’s your friendly neighborhood Spooder-Man here. When I’m not slingin’ dick webs, I’m collectin’ on bounties from fuckin’ scrubs like you. Easy payday takin’ out that fake ass fighter Justin Keoning. Now I’m ready to collect the other bounty.
He steps aside and Princess Peach is tied up on a chair. Z: If you want Ol’ Z to give her the donging of a lifetime, that’ll be 500 large large, my man! Or you can get her back for one dollar more! That’s a hell of a bargain, if you ask me!
The feed cuts and the lights return to the arena. Mario is livid and he storms out of the ring. Billy: I can’t believe it! Zombie McMorris took out Jacob Koenig to collect on the bounty from Super Mario! Now Ol’ Z has kidnapped Princess Peach and he’s holding her ransom! Chris Avery: 2024 truly is the darkest timeline.

...
As the sun sets on St. Patrick’s Day, we see a lively pub somewhere in Quebec City. Perhaps not the first place one would think of when it comes to the decidedly Irish holiday, but such celebrations can be found the world over, and Quebec City is no exception. The pub is crowded with festive revelers, dressed in various shades of green, hats, cheap plastic glasses and the like. The bartenders buzz about, busily providing their patrons with the sweet nectar that keeps the day raucous and rowdy. People are so preoccupied with their partying, they barely notice one tall man, sitting at a small table in the back corner of the pub, who’s demeanor is decidedly unfestive. The chair he sits on is too small, making his already large figure look giant. As he stares out at the festivities, he absentmindedly sharpens an ancient axe, pushing the blade against an equally old stone.
I’ve seen many festive times come and go. They are mine to watch over, to stand like a sentinel, searching for that spark of heroism among the partygoers. From pagan rituals to monotheistic monoliths, from national celebrations to days of remembrance.
Never has one day angered me so as this one
Behind the man, the festivities grow increasingly rowdy, with people shouting loudly at each other and splashing beer across tables.
No, it isn’t the actual festivities. Drinking is plenty common for a festival. The human perceptions of leprechauns are laughable compared to the real thing, but nonetheless charming. What irks me so much is the pretenses.
Ireland is a land rich in mythology and legend, one I respect deeply. Some have even speculated that I myself am of Celtic descent, though I’ve always placed more worth in a tree’s trunk rather than its roots. Alas, for all its ancient lore and history, the Celts’ one surviving festival holds little connection to days of yore. Rather, it’s one that’s actively hostile to pagan ways. I met St. Patrick. For all his divine inspiration, he was a nasty piece of work, ruthless in his driving out of deeply held beliefs, the very beliefs that kept beings like me alive.
A full on bar fight has erupted before the man, partygoers punching, kicking, and throwing things at each other, while barkeeps desperately try to keep the peace.
Of course those who have embraced this day the most are those far from their homeland, who can’t remember the solemn meaning of the day. But I remember. This old “snake” may have been cast out, but I’ve landed on my feet, served my purpose, and kept the ancient ways alive. Which brings me to my most recent domain.
Action Wrestling. On this most detested of days, I issue an ancient and rageful challenge. All ye who call yourself brave, daring, heroic, or just plain stupid, step up to me and my ax. Test your mettle, prove your worth, and learn the power of my ancient ways. Some of you shall pass my trial. Many of you will fail. No matter what the outcome, you aren’t the first. You won’t be the last. I wait for you, between the ropes. Attend me in your own time. Ignore me at your peril.
One. Ye-
A particularly rambunctious partygoer finally notices the man in the corner. He hefts up a chair, takes aim, and tosses it square on at the man, aiming for his head.
Shnt.
Quick as a whip, the man raises his ax and, with a single cleave, cuts the chair in half. He rises to his full height, sets down his ax, and walks with grim purpose towards the stupefied partygoer. The Green looks down on the man, an ugly sneer on his lips.
A challenge? How rare. I accept.
The Green grabs the partygoer, lifts him up, and delivers a vicious powerbomb through a hard wooden table nearby. The whole bar comes to a halt as The Green stands over the bruised heap of a man.
Do you yield?
The man barely inclines his head forward to nod.
I thought as much. Your mettle is lacking. I move on to greater competition.
The Green finally notices the entire bar looking at him. He narrows his eyes, and people flee for the exit. He walks over, grabs his ax, and starts walking towards the door. As he reaches it, he casts a baleful look back at one of the terrified bartenders.
I will return. One. Year. Hence.

You still got plenty of time to role-play.Chris Avery: WHAT?!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.

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

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 Ethan Miller: “Making her way to the ring, 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 giving out a few high-fives and taking a couple of selfies with her fans along the ramp, 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. Billy: Will Tatiana Jolee can another match closer to reclaiming the World Championship?As the beat drops on the entrance way, we see the lights go out in the area, and the Tron comes to life with “Da Geto Boy” on the screen. Then as the song plays, the lights come back on to see John Black and Jody coming out together in pair of jackets and bandanas on their faces, as they walk down they gives some of the people some dap all the way past the ramp, then Jody takes off the jacket and handed to JB and he slides into the ring, he goes to the corners to taunt to the crowd. Then after he takes off the bandana off his face and tosses it into the crowd, then he stands in the middle of the ring as his theme cuts off. Chris Avery: Jody Madrox has been successful nor only in this tournament but also as reigning Omega Championship.Billy: He ain't defending tonight though. Chris Avery: That is correct. DING DING DINGThe match starts off hot with both combatants throwing hands. Madrox got some stank on his and he rocks her toward the corner. Madrox sets her up for a big move but she slips out, quickly powdering out of the ring. John Black taunts her and she flips him off. Jolee climbs to the ring apron, then enters the ring with momentum. Madrox charges and goes for a clothesline, but Jolee ducks it just in time. When they turn to each other, she lights him up with a barrage of strikes. She shoots him to the ropes. On his way back, she nails him with a leaping clothesline. He staggers up to his feet and she hits him with a bridging german suplex. Billy: Oh dang!!Chris Avery: There's the cover!! ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!! Billy: What a bummer!Jolee sits up, frustrated, before laying down some heavy forearms as Madrox tries to block the shots. She drags him up from the mat, and he surprises her with a belly-to-belly suplex. He keeps ahold of her and brings her up, before transiting the hold into a running powerslam. He gets up and soaks up a mixed reaction from the Canadian crowd who favors their favorite countrywoman. He then climbs to the top rope in the corner and connects with a seven point five stars in the tokyo dome frog splash. Billy: KE'KE'S DRESS!!Chris Avery: There's the cover!!ONE!
TWO!!
THR–
KICKOUT!!!Madrox pops to his feet, determined to not let her kickout be a setback. Jolee gets to the rope and pulls herself up. He sets her up for an electric chair driver and– Billy: Nooo!!! Jolee slides down and locks on an intense sleeper hold!!!Madrox staggers a bit, and he's able to reach up and pull her over his shoulder, slamming her onto the mat. She gets up and he scoops her for a michinoku driver, but she holds tight and connects with a small package. ONE!
TWO!!
THR–
KICKOUT!!!Billy: Shitfire! That was a close one!
Both combatants get up and Madrox charges. Jolee side steps and Madrox hits the corner. When Madrox turns around, Jolee nails him with a shotgun dropkick. Madrox flies back to the corner harder than heck. Madrox stumbles out into a codebreaker from Jolee. Billy: SHITFIRE!! DOUBLE CLUTCH!!Chris Avery: THERE'S THE COVER!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR–
EEEEEEEEE!!!!!DING DING DING Billy: What a match, y'all!! Ol’ Madrox just fought like a top da'gum guy!!Chris Avery: We've just witnessed one hell of a match!!As Jolee celebrates, Madrox is to the ropes now, pulling to a seated position. Black talks to him from ringside. Jolee turns around and looks over at them. She claps for Madrox and he reciprocates. The fans go bonkers for them both as Madrox rolls out of the ring. Black hands him the Omega Championship. We get one more shot of Jolee and Madrox respect before he heads up the ramp. Billy: What a great showing of sportsmanship!!Chris Avery: Indeed!
Billy: And now Ned can go to sleep! He's too high to be awake right now!!
Chris Avery: WHAT?!!!
Suddenly, the headlights on the ice cream truck turn on, as if it has a mind of it's own like Christine. The engine BELLOWS to life, and the ice cream truck revs once, twice. Chris Avery: THE ICE CREAM TRUCK! Billy: It's... alive???
Madrox looks on in confusion at the ice cream truck, but then he turns his head, sensing an ominous presence in the ring and is dropped by a face shattering bicycle kick from a giant boot. Standing in the ring is a giant, with a huge belly, a strappy harness, and, most disturbing of all, a vintage clown mask pulled low over a sweaty, bald head, covering a wrinkled, lined face. The crowd goes INSANE, and a "HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT" chant goes up from the live crowd at the reveal of the new look of a terrifying figure known throughout the underground. Chris Avery: He is here! Sicko is here! All those weeks of those odd vintage commercials, promising the return of the demented clown behind the Laughing Clown brand. It was a warning! Billy: It never was intended to deceive or mislead anyone!
The giant, massive girth of the Demon Clown Sicko stands triumphant, holding his arms up and letting out a guttural roar, and then Sicko peels Madrox up off the mat, gripping them around the throat, while he gasps and chokes, and Sicko leads him around, turning him in a circle while he's on spaghetti limbs, and Sicko lifts him up effortlessly and crushes him with a monstrous chokeslam. It is at this point that Sicko turns and sees Madrox's OMEGA Championship, and it catches his eye with interest. Sicko goes to lift the OMEGA title, and John Black, running in to get his protege out of harm's way, stops him. Sicko furiously snaps, clubbing John Black and furiously booting him. Billy: Sicko is tearing into Madrox and his mentor, Black, making a clear statement!!
Sicko lifts Black up, holding him in the air and performing an effortless vertical hold, before twirling and driving him to the mat with a spinning Jackhammer. Sicko rises to his knees, and he looks across the ring, spotting Madrox again. Sicko's face contorts in a frenzied sneer of disdain, and he exits the ring, lifting Madrox up, walking him by the back of his hair, and flinging him the length of the aisle to the doors of his ice cream truck before hurling him into it. Madrox is sent with such force that he goes into the side panel of the ice cream truck upside down and comes down on the crown of his head. Sicko raises his arms and yells again. Then, Sicko starts stalking towards the back of the ice cream truck, opening a door into the reefer. Several referees have come down, trying to desperately beg Sicko to leave ringside. Chris Avery: These men have tried to talk some sense into Sicko, but I don't think he's in any mood!!
Referees are begging Sicko to leave. Ignoring them, Sicko has reached into one of the boxes in the back reefer of his ice cream truck and selected a chocolate fudgesicle, and he forcefully shoves a referee out of the way. The bulky clown carries the fudgesicle back over to where he left Madrox, by the guardrail, and Madrox is laid out helpless. Sicko grabs Madrox, an intense look in the eyes behind the twisted Halloween clown mask, and he grabs a resisting Jody Madrox by the back of his head, feeding the fudgesicle bar into his face, into his lips, and mashing it down his throat with such implacable force that Madrox immediately begins yelling and twisting around in pain. Chris Avery: This is sick! This is absolutely obscene! Sicko is shoving ice cream down Madrox's throat the hard way, and Madrox is in trouble!!
Sicko has blood and chocolate smeared on his hands, and he slams Madrox by the back of the head into the panel of the truck again, then, staring with a demented intensity, he looks to the ring. Sicko walks over to the ring, and scoops up the OMEGA championship. Billy: I think we've finally seen the point of this rampage. Chris Avery: Sicko emerged after four years away from wrestling, tonight. I can't ever presume to know what this evil clown wants... Billy: Other than hurting as many people as violently as he can, Sicko has never clearly stated his intentions for... anything. But this, right here, is a statement of intent.
Sicko holds the OMEGA title up, snarling and flexing his muscles against the leather harness strapped around his chest and shoulders, and yelling, spit flying through the mouth hole in his mask. Sicko drops the OMEGA title on the mat, then he exits the ring, walking over to his ice cream truck, and staring down at Madrox. Chris Avery: We've just seen one of the most terrifying sights I've ever seen but for Madrox, this senseless, violent assault was a declaration of war.

Match Madness Semi-Final Round Odin Balfore vs. Gerard Angelo Ethan Miller: The following is a semi-final match in Match Madness, and it is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first... Chris Avery: HUGE stakes in the Match Madness tournament tonight, as whoever walks away with the win tonight will go on to the finals! Billy: Do you... think we don't know how tournaments work, or are you really trying to hard sell this? Chris Avery: It's more that this tournament has seen some of the most unlikely stories arise; Huge upsets, Cinderella stories from unlikely competitors, and unpredictable results! Billy: Maybe it wasn't on your bingo card in 2024 to see the possibility of Odin Balfore versus Jody Madrox, with the winner of that going on to face either Teo Blaze or Jaice Wilds for the AW World Championship... but it was on mine! What can I say, Imma wild card!!
“ With Odin On Our Side” Hit’s the PA system. The arena grows dark as the fans get to their feet to catch a glimpse of the stage. The fans stand and cheer an once the vocals starts, the arena lights flash back on and there stands Odin Balfore, centre stage. Odin stares down at the ring with a sinister grin as the fans sing along with the chorus. Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... the battle is.. already won!
Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... the battle is.. already won! Ethan Miller: ...From Houston, Texas, weighing in at 400 lbs... he is THE ALL-FATHER... ODIN BALFORE!!
The fans pop insanely right after as Odin begins to walk down the ramp at a slow an methodical pace. Once he gets to the foot of the ring, he steps up on it and looks around the arena again before stepping over the ropes.. Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist...
Odin cuts off the fans as he raises his hand in triumph. Odin turns back to the ring as the fans finish their part. The battle is.. already won!
Odin stares towards the entrance ramp, eagerly stretching on the ropes, as he waits for the match to get underway.' Chris Avery: Odin Balfore truly has been a Nordic Tank steamrolling right over everyone in his path during Match Madness! Billy: Odin may get a bad rep from time to time, but when he wants to show he means business, there aren't many people that can withstand him! Ethan Miller: And his opponent...
The arena’s lights go black, plunging the inside into darkness causing a nervous murmur to flush over the crowd. The ActionTron lights up suddenly, reflecting the night sky over water when stars start flying at the screen with the familiar orchestra music. They turn on the water and fly toward a familiar mountain with the sunrise behind it. The 21 stars form two-thirds of a circle over the mountain but instead of “Paramount”, the cursive font reads “Gerard Angelo” and the crowd fucking boos. “I CAN’T STOP!”
The lights start to flash as “STOP” repeats repeatedly from different speakers in the arena as the beat builds and then drops. BOOM
An explosion of gold fireworks goes off. “I CAN’T STOP!”
The house lights come back on as the hook of “Who Gon Stop Me” rings out through the jam-packed arena as the crowd continues to boo. The lights come back on as Kanye West’s voice serenades the people as they give loud boos, Gerard Angelo is shown standing on stage, back to the crowd, the hood of his hoodie pulled up, right arm raised above his head at an angle, one finger extended. The All-In briefcase is grasped by the handle in his other hand. He throws his hood back with his right hand and spins around to the crowd. He extends one arm like he’s absorbing another wave of booing, the other holding the briefcase up, a cocky smirk etched across his face as he surveys the crowd behind his trademark sunglasses, He makes his way down to the ring slowly, brushing off fans and taunting them. Ethan Miller: From Hollywood, California, weighing in at 225 lbs... THE HOLLYWOOD HERO... GERARD ANGELO!!
He stops at the ring stairs, slaps the top step before climbing them, and walks to the center of the ring apron. Gerard raises the All-In briefcase up to the crowd. Angelo surveys the arena again to another round of boos, and poses, pyro exploding from the four ring posts. Gerard slips through the middle and top rope into the ring. He walks to the opposite ring post, setting the briefcase on the mat before leaping onto the second turnbuckle, holding his hands up to the crowd. Gerry points to the crowd before unzipping his hoodie, which gets more than a few ladies in the audience to scream out, pulling it off and pretending to toss it to the fans before just dropping it on the floor with a smirk. "The Hollywood Hero" hops down, sticking the briefcase in the corner. He removes his sunglasses, placing them on top of the briefcase neatly before he leans back against the turnbuckles, mouthing off to the fans as he starts to stretch. Billy: I'm so used to seeing Gerard Angelo with gold around his waist that I swear I almost saw him carrying the World Title out here tonight, but that's not possible, because Teo Blaze is the reigning World Champion! Chris Avery: This is just a plug that all replica titles are on sale tonight on AWshopzone.com; Save 15% with the promo code ALLIN!! DING DING DING
As the bell sounds, Angelo paces up to Odin, and there is a tense staredown; The air in the arena is electric at the promise of one of two semi-finals matches, and Angelo arrogantly points at himself and begins provoking Odin, saying he's the real World Champion and he's coming back for what was his, it's only a matter of time. He pokes Odin in the chest, dressing him down as well. Odin's head swivels down to stare at Angelo's poking, prodding finger like a Terminator. Chris Avery: Angelo has been beside himself since losing the title in a triple threat match to Teo Blaze, and he's vowed to stop at nothing to get the title back! Billy: This is a man who loves his insurance policies, he has the All-In Briefcase he can cash in at any time, but he wants to win through Match Madness and make sure he has the title shot in the bag! Chris Avery: Odin clearly isn't taking too well to Angelo's ranting at him!
Angelo, getting full of himself and his arrogant streak showing, pie-faces the big man, reaching up and shoving him by the jaw, not one, but twice. Odin's head snaps back, and then, he decks Gerard with a throat thrust uppercut, dropping Gerard to the mat. Angelo is shook, but he snarls as he rolls back up quickly, not letting that throw him off, and he begins lighting up Odin with forearm shots. He sweeps around his side and kicks him in the hamstring several times. Finally, though, Odin catches Angelo's leg, puts his hand on his chest and throws him down to the mat with force. Angelo quickly gets to his feet, and Odin whips him to the ropes and on the return drops him with a back body drop, making Angelo contort in pain and roll over, holding his back. Angelo gets to his feet and takes a discus clothesline, then as he gets back up he is hit with a back elbow. Angelo gets to his feet holding his back and Odin lifts him up with a military press, and he drops him face first on the canvas. Angelo gets to his feet one more time, this time a bit winded and needing to use the ropes. As Angelo pushes himself away from the ropes, Odin grabs him by the arm and goes to irish whip him in the direction of the turnbuckles, crashing shoulder first into the corner. Gerard flops back and reels in pain on the ground, but Odin is not done. He hauls Angelo back up and clubs him stiffly over the back. Now Odin is the one to stand over Gerard, pie-facing the flinching, heavily breathing Angelo and shouting abuse at him. Odin grabs Angelo's temple and shoves him. Angelo snarls, and Odin gets too close; Angelo kicks him right in the knee-cap, stiffly, making Odin's confident attitude fade and Odin yells, falling to his knee. Angelo has taken a battering, but he is not willing to give up just yet. Angelo runs at Odin, going for a running lariat, springing up into the air so that there is full force behind his punch, but Odin swings Angelo in a circle, driving him into the mat with a simple body slam. Angelo groans as all the wind is driven out of him. Odin quickly smirks as he gets back up to his feet. Angelo struggles to roll onto his front and push himself back up. Odin grabs him by the back of the neck yet again, plucking him back into the air and holding Angelo with one hand by his cheeks. He shouts some abuse into his face, but Angelo suddenly counters with a low blow. Odin instantly lets go of Angelo, keeling over painfully. Angelo runs at the ropes, rebounding and flattening Odin with a Million dollar knee lift. Chris Avery: It took every trick Angelo has, but he got the big man off his feet! Billy: Angelo is just jamming a stick into a beehive, it’s only a matter of time before he gets stung. Chris Avery: I think you mean, Angelo stirred up a hornet's nest? Billy: Did I mix metaphors again? I always miss those like a ship in the night. Chris Avery: ........ *sigh*
Angelo begins to deliver an array of ground based moves to Odin. Stomps to the chest, elbow drops, knee drops and the like before finally kneeling down on Odin’s torso and delivering an array of punches to Odin’s head. Odin claws at Angelo, trying to force him to dismount whilst swatting the punches away. Odin finally manages to get Angelo to cease his attack by raking his eyes, a tactic deployed by Angelo not so long ago. Odin throws Angelo off of him and quickly climbs to one knee. Angelo jogs a few steps away and comes in with a brutal driveby kick, leaving his feet and hitting Odin with such force that Dom's head bobbles around at all different angles, while he's falling back. Angelo makes the cover on Odin... ONE!
TW--KICKOUT!!
Odin POWERS out of the pin, sending Angelo crashing across the ring. Angelo catches his breath as Odin angrily gets back up to his feet. Odin charges at Angelo, picking him up and ramming him into the corner, before unleashing a combination of shoulder thrusts to the mid section. Odin backs away for one final blow, looking to hit The Dominant Force in the corner. He lunges at Angelo, who quickly pulls himself up onto the top turnbuckle. Odin’s shoulder goes straight into the steel ring post. He roars in pain, trying to withdraw his now trapped shoulder from the corner. Angelo stands on the top rope, delivering a version of a dropkick to Odin’s spine before rolling across the canvas. Angelo climbs between the ropes, grabbing Odin’s arm and slamming it against the ring post. He bellows in pain once again as Angelo follows up with a punch to the face. Odin is finally able to pry his shoulder out of the turnbuckle and stands back up in the center of the ring, trying to shake the pain out of his arm, rolling his shoulder back and forth to get the blood flowing again. He isn’t aware of Angelo, who has now climbed to the top of the turnbuckle, perched like a cat ready to pounce. Odin turns, when Angelo finally makes a bold leap, looking to take down Odin with a crossbody, but this time Odin catches Angelo in midair before driving Angelo’s ribs into his knee with a rib breaker. Angelo yells in pain, but Odin doesn’t release Angelo, instead he repeats the painful move twice over before lifting Angelo high above his head before putting him in a torture rack. Odin roars for Angelo to give up. Angelo refuses, even as he's being wrung in the torture rack. Finally, Angelo fights Odin off, making him release the hold with a machine gun intense barrage of elbows to the side of the head, until the hold finally slackens. Angelo then slips off Odin's shoulder, and he then gets over by the ropes, trying to catch his breath and holding his lower back. Odin then blinks his eyes and shakes his head, and he sees Angelo over by the ropes and it has the effect of a matador's cape and a bull. Odin charges at Angelo, but Angelo, knowing some things, ducks down at just the right moment. He pulls the top rope down. Odin, over balanced, falls over the top rope to the outside again. Odin gets to his feet again, and he angrily slaps the mat. Then, he turns around and Angelo comes in with a wrecking ball dropkick. Odin stumbles a few feet away in the aisle. Angelo sees his moment, readies himself, gets on the apron and tries to fly off with a double axe handle into the aisle. Odin sees it coming, though, and in mid air wraps Angelo up, giving him a modified spinebuster by catching him out of the air and slinging him back first onto the edge of the apron. Angelo yells explosively, and holds his lower back, sinking down in pain. The crowd pops with an "Oooooooh" as his back is smashed into the apron. Chris Avery: Good god, the hardest part of the ring!!
Odin tosses Angelo off to the side and rolls into the ring. Odin then rolls back out of the ring and goes back over to Angelo. Odin raises a dazed Angelo up to his feet, and then throws his close arm over his shoulder and tosses Angelo over his back with a T-Bone suplex that leaves Angelo's body fidgeting on the concrete. Odin lifts Angelo back up to his feet and applies a bearhug. Angelo fights to turn Odin's head, and as Odin taunts him Angelo shoves his fingers into Odin's mouth and eye sockets. Odin release the bearhug and tries to pull Angelo's hand out of his mouth, but when Odin fails to succeed he kicks Angelo between the legs stooping him over. The ref somehow sees none of it. Stupid-ass blind ref. Odin lifts Angelo up, putting him on his shoulders and smashing him the hard way onto the floor with an carry over high angle spinebuster. Angelo's body fidgets on the concrete as one does if it's thrown out of a moving car. Chris Avery: ODIN WITH THE ENFORCER ON THE OUTSIDE! ON UNFORGIVING CONCRETE!! Billy: Gerard Angelo is getting beaten to a pulp in ways that I haven't seen him endure lately, Odin really means business tonight!
Odin rolls back into the ring and then back out again to break the count the ref had been laying on them the whole time. He throws Gerard inside, and goes for a cover. The ref counts... ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!
Odin pulls a dazed Angelo up, walking him over and he slams Gerard's head off the turnbuckle. Odin slaps Gerard in the chest several times with a series of chops, eliciting a "WOOOOOOOO" from the crowd with each gunshot-sounding chop. Angelo leans out of the corner, welts already raising on his chest, and he breathes heavily and blinks, trying to suss out how to get out of this situation, and yet Odin, mercilessly, lays him back in the corner and gives him another chop, and draws another "WOOOOO". Angelo groans, holding his reddening chest, and stumbles forward. Now, gaining confidence, Odin picks Angelo up and he sits him up on the top rope. Odin stars to climb up, attempting to set up for a superplex, but Angelo stops him with a headbutt, and Odin totters for a moment, dazed. Angelo shoves Odin backwards with his boot, and Odin falls to the mat! Gerard stands up on the second rope, and just as Odin stands up, he turns away, blinking and scrubbing at his eyes, Angelo flies and he crushes Odin with a second rope bulldog. Angelo crawls over and he hooks the leg. ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!
Angelo is pulling himself up. He rests against the ropes. He waits for Odin to get to his hands and knees. When he does, Angelo runs and he drives his elbow pad through the side of Odin’s temple with a Hero's Welcome roaring elbow. Angelo pulls Odin up and sends him into the ropes with an Irish whip. On the return Angelo takes Odin down with a back body drop. Odin stands up, as Angelo runs to the ropes, and he takes Odin's knee out with a chop block. Angelo grabs a hold of Odin’s legs, and then he applies a figure four leglock. Angelo jerks back a few times, making Odin scream in pain. The ref asks if he gives, but Odin shakes his head emphatically. Billy: Any time you have a big man like Odin, especially one as top heavy as he is, structurally speaking you want to weaken his base. Brings the whole bridge down. It's basic physics and engineering. Chris Avery: Impressive analysis, since I know you were a B minus student in both. Billy: It's things you learn by experience! I'm an earner, not a learner! ...
Several seconds tick by as Angelo cinches the hold in, even pounding on Odin's leg. Odin flings his arms, and the referee asks if he gives up but Dom roars that he does not. Finally, Angelo releases the hold for a second. Angelo puts Odin’s leg across the second rope. He slingshots over the ropes, and on the way down, he grabs a hold of Odin’s leg, wrenching it on the second rope. Angelo slides right back in and he puts Odin in an anklelock submission. Odin reaches out to the ropes, but Angelo drags him to the middle of the ring before he can get to it. Angelo turns the move over into a half- Boston crab. Odin screams in pain as Angelo sits back on the move. Odin reaches for the ropes. His head sags, and the ref begins to check on him. Odin slowly makes his way as he crawls towards the ropes. Angelo tries to pull him back in, but Odin's hand shoots out and he grabs the bottom rope. Angelo is forced to release the hold. Angelo gets to his feet as Odin holds his knee in pain. Angelo tries to pull him back to the center of the ring so he can reapply the hold. Odin twists his body in such a way that he’s able to push Angelo off with his other foot. Angelo flies and he smacks the corner face first. Odin gets up to his feet, favoring his injured knee. Angelo turns around, only to be slammed to the mat with a spinebuster. Both men are down for a second as the ref checks on them. Odin is the first man to move, pushing himself up. Angelo also starts to stir, but Odin is to his feet before Angelo can get up. Angelo stands up with his back to Odin. Odin wraps his arms around Angelo's waist and he flings him with a high angle release German suplex. Odin stands up and he gets charged up by his adrenaline rush. Odin pulls Angelo to his feet and he executes an Irish whip. Odin destroys Angelo on the rebound with a sidewalk slam. He rolls over for the cover. ONE!TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!Odin goes over to Angelo and picks him up for a back suplex, but as he transitions to the half nelson to perform his slam, Angelo spins around into Odin and nails him with a standing dropkick that sends the big man through the ropes. Angelo follows afterward. Odin staggers to his feet as Angelo begins laying punches onto Odin's face and the ref's all "get your asses back in here before I start this count". ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
FOUR...Angelo gets up off of Odin and raises his right hand up into the air trying to get the crowd back into the match. Odin slowly begins to sit up in a daze, and from behind Angelo runs at him, grabbing the back of Odin's head as he flips over with an overcastle snapping Odin's neck. FIVE...
SIX...
Angelo removes the monitors and loose items, throwing them all off to the side as he places Odin on top of the table hitting him with a few punches along the way. SEVEN...
EIGHT...Angelo then rolls back into the ring and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Chris Avery: Angelo leaps from the top and...
Angelo jumps off with a splash, and Odin puts his knees up before the impact tossing Angelo off to the side onto his feet holding his ribs for only a moment, as the impact causes the table to collapse and Odin to fall down in it's debris, and Angelo falls on top of Odin after all is said and done. Chris Avery My God!!! Billy: This dude has the world's worst aim!! ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
FOUR...Both men remain down and not moving. Chris Avery: That might have just done both of them in. FIVE...
Odin starts to move. SIX...
Odin shoves Angelo off and begins crawling back to the ring as Angelo begins to move around as well. SEVEN...
Angelo begins crawling to the ring. Odin rolls into the ring, crawling to make added distance between him and the ropes for when Angelo enters. As a half-dead Force of Nature gets in, he eats a big boot right in the mush, and Odin hoists Angelo up and drops him with a powerslam. Odin rolls him over. He covers... ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!!
The crowd roars as their Hollywood Hero is still magically alive in this. Odin can't believe it. His eyes are open wide with frustration and shock. Odin tells the ref that Angelo is out, but the official tells him he got the shoulder up. Odin and the ref argue, and then Odin spots Angelo getting up and Odin boots him back down. Odin lifts Angelo up, goozles (weird word, but it's the description) the throat, and goes for a chokeslam, but Angelo is able to pull his head loose, and he sprints, hops up to the ropes, and comes off with a springboard/Oscutter. He covers, then. Chris Avery: DIRECTORS' CUT TO ODIN!! ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!!
Angelo looks dazed, and in complete disbelief. He looks up at the referee, asking if that was three, but the ref responds with a shake of his head. Angelo curses, and he goes to pull the big man up. Suddenly Odin breaks free and grabs him around the throat for a chokeslam again. Gerard cuts him off with his thumbs in Odin's eyes, and he rakes Odin's face. Odin screams, and scrubs at his eyes. Angelo clips his knee out with a dropkick, taking Odin down to one knee, and then Angelo grips him by the arm and tries to turn him over into a cross armbreaker, the TearJerker, but Odin doesn't let Angelo pull him to the mat; Odin powers through it, rolling Angelo so that Angelo is hanging onto his arm, nearly in a pinning predicament... then Odin gathers all of his strength and expends a lot of energy to powerbomb Angelo to the mat! Chris Avery: ODIN JUST COUNTERED! Billy: Back and forth they've gone, but only one can go on to the final round of MATCH MADNESS!!
Odin grimaces, holding his arm and flexing it to try and get some feeling back into it, while Angelo holds his neck in pain. Several long moments pass and they're not able to move, but finally, Odin turns and starts pushing himself up. He lifts Angelo up, quickly sets him up in powerbomb position, and jackknife powerbombs him into the mat, sinking down with him. Chris Avery: AND THERE'S THE MARK OF ODIN!! Billy: IT WILL GET THE JOB DONE!
Odin, exhausted, red-faced and sweating, pushes Angelo over... ONE! TWO!! THR--KICKOUT!!!
Odin covers his face and runs his hands through his hair, distraught. What more can he do?! He looks skyward, and then, his face firming with resolve, he gets slowly to his feet, favoring one knee. Odin locks a crossface chickenwing submission on Angelo. Angelo's eyes widen. Odin has the hold tightly in. Angelo tries to reach for the ropes, as his free arm frantically jitters around. Angelo screams in pain. The ref asks if he gives up. Angelo shakes his head no, but he keeps trying to reach the ropes. Odin pulls back on the hold. . Angelo tries reaching out for the bottom rope, but it's just out of reach. Angelo looks like he might tap at any moment. Angelo finally begins shaking with effort, red in the face, and he manages to fling his elbow back, pounding Odin in the side of the head. Odin releases the hold just so, and Angelo fights him off with stomps on his foot and more furious elbows. At length, Dom releases the hold, and both men drop to their knees, gasping and trying to regain some stamina. Angelo starts getting to his feet, and when Odin gets up, holding his head in pain, Angelo boots him and attempts to lift him up for a inverted exploder. However, Odin shifts around and uses his weight advantage to fall on top of Angelo. Both men lay side by side, unable to move after the last hit. Chris Avery: No! Angelo couldn't lift Odin up for Excalibur Prime! Both men are down!! Billy: Who can be the first to get up?? Who is going to be one step closer to being AW World Champion??
The referee starts to count. ONE...

LET'S HEAR FROM BRADY BOLT...
After that insane main event, the program shifts gears and we go to Brady Bolt backstage at a podium for a press conference… but he's the only one in the room. Brady Bolt: Well, I guess my assistant didn't get the calls out to get respected journalists here for this press conference. That's okay. I didn't really want to answer questions anyway.He shuffles some papers and clears his throat. Brady Bolt: Every week on Monday Night Clash has a Premium Live Event feel, and tonight was no different. Most of the card for Match Madness is already set, so let's begin. There are limited seats available at the Calgary Stampede Saddledome, and we expect to be at capacity for the event. Head over to AWtix.com for more details.
Earlier tonight, the Tag Team Championship match became official. The New Brotherhood will defend against The Elite in a Hell in a Cell TLC Match. We're doubling down on the insanity and that match will set the bar for the growing tag team division.
Speaking of growing. At Match Madness, there will be a match where the winner receives a mystery reward at April Fools Gold the very next week. That match will feature Isara as well as newcomers Super Mario, Muru, and The Green.
There are a few title matches that you're aware of. Addy A defends the Cruiserweight Championship against Mercedes Alexus Demareux, which became personal when Mercedes stole the title belt. Also, Doc Holiday puts the United States Championship on the line against former champion Jonny Cedrone and TJ Alexander. Exciting stuff there. Speaking of exciting stuff–He is interrupted by Jaice Wilds, who exhaustedly rushes into the room. Teo makes his way to the podium, waving at… where the journalists would be if they made it. Jaice Wilds: Hey… Oh. I guess they were late, too. Brady, I apologize. I got caught in some heavy traffic on the way in today. Did you know Canadians don't drive on the left side of the road?! I almost caused an accident!Brady Bolt: I'm glad you made it, Jaice. I was just going over the Match Madness card and–Jaice Wilds: Okay. I'll take it from here. Brady shrugs and hands Jaice the papers. He points to where he left off. Jaice Wilds: Oh, wow. That's one heck of a match. But it isn't called Match Madness for nothing.
Jaice steps to the podium and looks into the camera. Jaice Wilds: This has been one of the most exciting tournaments in Action Wrestling history. There's no doubt about that. Everyone who made it as far as they did, bravo. For those of you who didn't advance, you all fought your hardest. Eight of you will be competing at Match Madness in a special…He sighs. Jaice Wilds: I'm not sold on the name, because it's kind of an insult, but it's a Losers Bracket Match. The team of DRAUGR, Jody Madrox, Karlie Nash, and Vespertine will take on the team of Andre Jenson, Gerard Angelo, Jessie Lee, and Niobe Martin. That's almost too much action-packed action!
Like that's even possible. The one guarantee here in Action Wrestling is that we never slow down. There's a Premium Live Event the next two weeks! That’s something you won't see just anywhere. So, in two weeks, the winner of the Match Madness Tournament will challenge for the World Championship. The finals are set in stone for next week when Odin Balfore and Tatiana Jolee face off.
Both are former World Champions, so we know they're both capable of reaching the top of Action Wrestling. The hard part is staying on top of Action Wrestling. And that leads me to next week's main event. From the moment I stepped into the building on February 5th, I made my intentions clear that I was after the World Championship.
Since then, I have fought from the very bottom until I earned this opportunity by defeating Roman Gunn at Payback. Teo Blaze knows what kind of a fight he's in for next week, and I am confident in saying that the best man will walk out of Match Madness with the World Championship. Winning the title and holding onto the title are two different things. Teo and I will both be tested to the fullest… and I can't think of anyone better to share this moment with when I finally win the Action Wrestling World Championship.
He holds for applause, but the room is still empty. Jaice Wilds: Oh, right. I'm used to a rambunctious live audience. Brady, I hope that covered everything you needed.Brady Bolt: That was more than I needed. Thanks for the assistance. Well, fans, it's getting late and we're going to get this all packed up for the night. We'll see you... or rather, you'll see us... next week at Match Madness!!!Fade to...
