The Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, NV
Capacity: 5567
After a fantastic pyrotechnic show, we go over to Billy and Chris Avery, who are ready to call all of the action-packed action here tonight. Billy: Welcome to Monday Night Clash: April Fools Gold! Chris Avery: What a great episode we've got in store for you, folks! Seven incredible matches, with five championships on the line! Billy: Don't forget a Contedership Battle Royal where the winner... gets a shot at something?! Chris Avery: Exactly! Also, SICKO makes his in-ring debut against Vespertine, with Karlie Nash as the special guest referee!! Billy: What a great time we're going to--The scene switches to a black and white, grainy pastiche, a setup from the past. The setting calls to mind Leave It To Beaver-style wholesomeness, as it presents an American home as it was just after wartime. You could almost see a Donna Reed-esque mother figure bustling around, cooking a roast, or one of those monstrosities of cuisine that arose when Ladies Home magazine began publishing recipes involving mayonnaise and gelatin. However, the action in the background stops, as a figure steps between frames, thin and gaunt, wearing a coal-gray suit that seems to fizzle with static, his hair slicked with pomade, a Pall Mall smoldering between his fingers. When he speaks, it's with the crackling undertones of old, old television, as if this spokesman had stepped out of another time entirely. The Spokesman Aspect: We'll return to your programming after this brief commercial advertisement, and a warning. Our broadcast tonight is brought to you, in part, by your favorite after-dinner treat, Laughing Clown brand soft-serve custard. But tonight, our dedication, is specifically, to two young ladies that, well, could benefit from some friendly advice on a career-change. Vespertine Le, Karlie Nash. Have you ever known what it is to feel powerless, to feel helpless before the inevitable? I know you have.
The Spokesman Aspect's smile is faint, as he stands there, holding the cigarette burning between two fingers. There's something uncanny-valley about his look, unreal, and not just the fact that this apparent figment is broadcasting straight from your nightmares. The unpleasant settings and themes espoused by the aesthetic are one thing, but a glance at the window behind him reveals a dead, destroyed world. The Spokesman Aspect: When you reflect on it, I'm sure that the terror you felt, the dawning comprehension that what you were seeing couldn't be real, feels embarrassing to you now, in hindsight. You've whistled past the graveyard, you've pulled your big girl britches up by now and said "That wasn't me last week, I don't act like that, that isn't who Karlie Nash is, to cower in fear before a literal giant four times my size." And perhaps you're right, and you were done wrongly. Or perhaps, your reaction in the moment is telling, because what stood before you was much more than just a freak in a clown mask, what stood before you was the first sighting of a fate too horrible to contemplate. You were ants bearing witness to a forest fire, after all. Miniscule specks that were living in your own paltry, self-absorbed little bubbles, unaware and uncaring of any outside stimulus. In fact, Karlie, you're so oblivious to any outside prompts that you never connected dots right under your nose that, if you were smart, would give you valuable hints. For weeks you'd been stalked by someone flashing messages of Buddhist scripture up on the Tron, here; And your "partner" in last week's endeavor, IS supposedly, a beneficiary of a boon of service to a demagogue she calls "The Dark Buddha".... Hmmm, gosh golly, what kind of genius does it take to work out that there might be some connection there, it's as if the universe is telling you something!His expression, as he stares directly into the camera, is cold and hollow, remorseless; He isn't even here, he's just an echo. The Spokesman Aspect: What it should be telling you now is to run. Tonight's broadcast is brought to you by an education program, but if you act now, you can abandon your stubborn, empty ways. Abandon your churches filled with celebrities who doubtlessly, don't even know that you exist. Abandon your lechery, your whoring, your dalliances with disgustingly frigid women and your posting pornography on your Twitter accounts. Act now, fly today, and you can have a new life as a schoolmarm, far away from the advent of his wheels. You've only begun to see the shape of the variants to come. You've only been introduced to the Clown Aspect, and he fucking destroyed you. You've only, just now, been given advice by me, the Spokesman Aspect. There exist layers that are more terrifying than you could ever imagine. The Devil himself is coming. And you cannot say you weren't advised.He bows his head, and for a moment, in that, possibly CGI, possibly magic long-ago scape flickers, distorts. The face of a clown, grinning, can be seen in the static, then the image resolves again to just the Spokesman Aspect, standing on the set, head and eyes lowered to his shoes, a Pall Mall burning between his forefingers, forgotten. The Spokesman Aspect: And that advice...
His face broadens into an unnatural smile. The Spokesman Aspect: Is brought to you by Laughing Clown ice cream products! Laughing Clown... "We'll Never Stop Making You Pay!"
The Laughing Clown logo sparkles and fades in overlaying the Spokesman Aspect, ending the commercial. His empty, lifeless, rapacious eyes still stare out at you, unnervingly.

Contendership Battle Royal All Beef Patty vs. Jessie Lee vs. Doc Holiday vs. TJ Alexander vs. Muru vs. Jaice Wilds vs. Isara vs. Lexi Sparkles vs. Freddy Whoa Jr. vs. MYSTERY ENTRANT Billy: We gon’ kick off April Fools Gold with a Contendership Battle Royal! Chris Avery: Has it been announced which championship the winner will receive a shot at? Billy: Nope! Chris Avery: That’s enough to make someone quit. Don’t you think? Billy: Yep!
While that awesome music plays, each of the nine announced competitors make their way to the ring in this order: Lexi Sparkles, Freddy Whoa Jr., Isara, Jaice Wilds, Muru, TJ Alexander, Doc Holiday, Jessie Lee, and All Beef Patty. Billy: There’s none of ‘em. I wonder who the mystery entrant is. Chris Avery: We’re about to find out…
The lights go out, casting the arena in darkness as Save Me by Skillet begins to play. Billy: WHAT?!! NOOO!!!!! Chris Avery: IT CAN’T BE!!!!1
White lights begin to strobe with the beat. The flashing get faster as the music gets louder until... (Help me tonight!) The lights come back on, washing the arena in a sea of red light. Derrick Vayden steps out, dressed head to toe in his “Wanderer” gear. He pauses at the top of the ramp and gazes around the arena. HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! (I'm closer to the edge tonight I'm standing on the ledge so why Won't you reach out your hand To save, to save me?) HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! Ethan Miller: And now, making his way to the ring from Milwaukee Wisconsin, weighing in at 224 pounds... He is “The Wanderer”, Derrick Vayden!
HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! Vayden begins marching to the ring. He ignores the fans who reach out to touch him as he focuses on approaching the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and scans the arena again before rising up to his knees in the center of the ring. HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! Derrick slowly pulls the hood down. He then quickly rips the mask off of his face as the red light transitions into the normal arena lights. Under the mask reveals the furious expression of Vayden as he poses with his arms out wide. Chris Avery: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?!! IS DERRICK VAYDEN REALLY BACK IN ACTION WRESTLING?!!!!1 Billy: IT LOOKS LIKE IT, PAL!!!
HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! The fans are so fucking loud for Derrick Vayden, who we haven’t seen here in Action Wrestling in three and a half years. Vayden stands in the center of the ring, looking around at the stunned faces surrounding him. He jawjacks at each of them and then– DING DING DING
Jessie Lee charges at Vayden and takes his fucking head off with a pump kick. Billy: FATALITYYYYYY!!!!
The impact sends him into the ropes, where Jessie follows up with ANOTHER pump kick! Billy: FATALITYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
The impact sends him flying over the top rope, and he crashes hard as fuck to the floor. Billy: … Chris Avery: … Billy: Did they seriously pay this man to fly all the way here for this?!!! What a fuckin’ waste, pal!!~!
HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! There is all-out melee inside of the squared circle as the rest of the combatants engage in reckless fistacuffs. It’s everyone for themselves as they vigorously try to eliminate each other. Lexi and Freddy are fighting in one corner. Patty and Jessie are fighting in another corner. Isara and Doc are fighting in another corner. Jaice and TJ are fighting in another corner. Muru is going from corner to corner, going after everyone. Nobody is gaining any advantage at the moment. It’s just a bunch of people fighting other people. Freddy has Lexi up on the top rope in the corner, trying to shove her over. She desperately holds onto the rope, and then knees him in the head. He staggers back, then runs forward. She throws her legs off of the rope and latches around his head, then drags him over the top rope, sending him crashing to the floor. She lands on the apron and just barely keeps herself from falling to the floor along with him. Chris Avery: Lexi Sparkles just eliminated Freddy Whoa Jr! Billy: Freddy Whoa Sr gon’ be disappointed, pal!
Lexi remains on the apron, holding onto the bottom rope as Isara stomps away at her. He is pulled back by Doc, and the two continue fighting. Off in the other corner, All Beef Patty is rocking Jessie Lee with shoulder thrusts. She backs up to the center of the ring and charges, leaping into the air for a big splash… but Jessie Lee ducks down and grabs Patty by the legs, thrusting her over the top rope, sending Patty crashing to the floo. Chris Avery: Jessie Lee just eliminated All Beef Patty! Billy: And just like that, All Beef Patty has lost her only Action Wrestling match! Chris Avery: Huh?! Billy: Oh, apparently she only had a one match contract… or something. Chris Avery: That’s stupid. Billy: Yep.
Jaice and TJ stop fighting momentarily, and they team up on Isara and Doc. Isara and Doc fight back against Jaice and TJ. They whip both men to the ropes and take them both down with spears. Chris Avery: The unlikely duo of Isara and Doc Holiday!
They get up and Isara lets out a samoan roar. Doc clocks him with a savate kick that rocks him back to the ropes. Doc charges and clotheslines Isara over the top rope, sending him crashing to the floor. Billy: Buh bye! Chris Avery: Isara has been eliminated by Doc Holiday!
TJ has Jaice up on the top rope in the corner. He gives Jaice a jumping kick, then backs up a bit. TJ runs and leaps to the top rope, then sideways hurricanranas Jaice out of the ring. TJ just barely hangs onto the ropes, and he lands on the apron. Billy: Shitfire! Chris Avery: Jaice Wilds has been eliminated by TJ Alexander!
TJ stands up on the apron, where Muru nails him with a standing dropkick. TJ crashes to the floor. Billy: Dropkick outta nowhere! Chris Avery: TJ Alexander has been eliminated by Muru! Billy: And we’re down to the final four! Doc Holiday, Jessie Lee, Lexi Sparkles, and Muru! Chris Avery: I forgot Lexi was still in there! Billy: She was hangin’ out by herself. Smart thinkin’.
All four competitors are to their feet, standing in opposite corners. Chris Avery: Here we go!
They all charge to the middle of the ring, and the fight continues. Fists are flyin’. Kicks are flyin’. Everybody is rockin’ everybody. Lexi and Doc break free to one corner. Muru and Jessie break free to another corner. Muru and Doc get the upper hand. They northern irish whip Jessie and Lexi at each other, and Jessie wrecks Lexi with a super(wo)man punch. Billy: BOOM!!!!!
The impact sends Lexi to the ropes, where Jessie connects with another super(wo)man punch, and Lexi tumbles over the top rope and crashes to the floor below. Billy: ANOTHER BOOM!!!!! Chris Avery: Lexi Sparkles has been eliminated by Jessie Lee!
Jessie stands by the ropes and she waves goodbye to Lexi, only to get dumped over the top rope by Doc and Muru. She lands on her feet on the floor, furious and slamming her fists on the ring apron. Billy: SHITFIRE!!!
Chris Avery: Jessie Lee has been eliminated by Doc Holiday and Muru!!! Billy: And we’re down to the final two! Former two time United States Champion Doc Holiday, and the recently returned Muru!!!
Muru and Doc separate. They circle one another. The fans are on fire for both of these men. Chris Avery: One of these two competitors will receive a shot at… some kind of title! Billy: Could be Television! Could be Omega! Could be United States! Hell, it could even be World Heavyweight! Chris Avery: What an exciting time!!!
Muru and Doc meet in the center of the ring with fists to faces. Back and forth, the battle rages on. Muru gets the upper hand and he northern irish whips Doc to the ropes. Doc ducks a clothesline attempt from Muru. On the way back, Doc takes Muru down with a spinning heel kick. Muru hits the mat hard. As he slowly gets to his feet, Doc stalks him. When Muru turns around, Doc nails him with a hell of a savate kick. Muru hits the mat and begins crawling to the corner. He uses the ropes to pull himself up. When he turns around, Doc charges in… but Muru sidesteps and Doc crashes between the ropes, slamming his shoulder hard into the ringpost. The fans roar with excitement as Muru backs up to the middle of the ring. Doc pulls himself out of the ropes and he turns around. Muru charges and nails him with a diving double knee attack, slamming him hard as hell into the corner. Billy: KNEE TO NOSE BASIS!!!
Muru wastes no time in grabbing Doc by the back of the neck, and running him to the ropes, sending him over. Billy: THERE HE GOES! Chris Avery: NOT QUITE! DOC LANDED ON THE APRON! MURU DOESN’T KNOW!
Muru throws his arms in the air, not realizing that Doc is still on the ring apron. When he turns around, he sees Doc and charges at him. He throws a punch, Doc blocks it and he headbutts Muru. Muru staggers back a step. Chris Avery: DOC HITS A SPRINGBOARD AND– Billy: SHITFIRE!! MURU CHARGED HIM AND SHOVED HIM THE HELL OFF THE ROPE!! Chris Avery: DOC CRASHED HARD INTO THE BARRICADE!! Billy: IT’S OVER!! DING DING DING
THAT WAS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THAT WAS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THAT WAS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THAT WAS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THAT WAS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 Muru’s music plays and he drops to his knees in the center of the ring, overcome with emotion over winning the match. Ethan Miller: The winner of this match… MMMUUURRRUUUUU!!!!!
The referee gets in the ring as Muru gets to his feet. He raises Muru’s arm in victory, and then whispers something into his ear. Chris Avery: What is he saying?! Billy: Looks like he just told Muru what title he’s fightin’ for!!
Muru looks stunned at the words told to him by the referee. He celebrates the victory as we go to a Paramount+ advertisement.

LET'S HEAR FROM KARLIE NASH...
Jade is in the back with Karlie. Jade Riley: We know what went down at Match Madness, tonight you’ve been assigned as the guest referee. Karlie Nash: Everyone is probably having Apri fools laugh right now, let’s make Karlie the guest referee, is anyone assuming I give a fuck, my only job is to count the three, and most of the idiots here tonight can probably do that, I have zero interest in this match and I give zero fucks about Vespertine, and Bozo, Krusty, or whatever the fuck that clowns name is.
One of the Action wrestling refs hands Karlie a ref shirt. Karlie Nash: This is what my career has become resorted to being a referee for a match I don’t give a fuck about. May as well go get this shit over with.
Karlie storms off.

Special Guest Referee: Karlie Nash SICKO vs. Vespertine
Ethan Miller: Please welcome the special guest referee for this match Karlie Nash.
Knuckle up plays in the arena, Karlie steps on the stage in jeans and a referee shirt and makes her way to the ring. Billy: At Match Madness, Karlie was destroyed by SICKO after the loser bracket match, and she doesn’t look happy about being the special guest referee. Chris: remember when Red, White, and Bruised had that feud with the referees. Billy: Seems kind of ironic now doesn’t it.
(The sound of a Japanese flute starts out playing quietly over the loudspeakers and the lights go down. The Tron comes up and we see two armies standing face to face on a battlefield. The flute continues playing and the camera on the Tron gets closer to the two armies. The camera cuts scene) (the camera cuts back to a scene of two armies. The Japanese flute plays louder. Both armies are huge and they are an army of shogun, ronin, and samurai. As the army walks forward a single figure comes into view and emerges from the line. The figure raises their sword and as one the entire army stops. The figure runs forward and gets atop a boulder to look out. The camera goes over their shoulder, and we see the other army standing as a wall in the distance. The figure/leader takes off their helmet and long black hair tumbles out from it and flows all around, sometimes waving and weaving in places where the wind catches it. The figure turns and looks at the army behind them and we see it is Vespertine. She raises her sword and roars in fury. Camera cuts scene and the Japanese flute stops) (camera cuts back to scene of her army raising their own swords and shouting in fury. The camera pans back quickly and she does the motion of with her sword and the camera goes up and we see her entire army run forward to join in the fray below. The song "Diamond Eyes" starts up and then goes straight into the song.) "Boom Lay boom lay boom. Boom lay, boom lay boom" (Suddenly the spotlights in the arena come up and we see a lone figure standing at the top of the ramp. One arm is raised and we see it is Vespertine and she is standing facing the entrance curtains. She spins around rather quickly and at the end of the turn she points at the audience where upon a couple of pyros go off on each side of her. She stands at the top of the ramp looking around at the audience. Then suddenly she reaches her hands out to them and then quickly pulls back into a fist and fire pillar pyros go off behind her. She saunters on down to the ring, stepping in time to the music. She goes up the ring steps, goes to the middle of the apron, then uses the ropes to blackflip over them to inside the ring and does the splits upon coming down. She takes off her sunglasses and looks around at various spots within the audience. She crawls to the other side of the ring and then suddenly jumps up and spreads her arms out and lands in a V- like pattern where upon at each corner of the ring, showers of sparks come flying out. She looks around, still with the feral look in her eyes, and takes off her trenchcoat duster and gives it to a person outside the ring and goes to sit on the turnbuckle facing the ring entrance until the match starts) Ethan Miller: Coming down to the ring, previously from the Gates of Eternity, currently from San Francisco, Ca in her mortal form, she is THE Well Rounded Fighting Machine, VESPERTINEEE!!!!!! Ethan Miller: And her opponent, from Death Valley, California, SICKO.
The lights dim, and on the Tron, a small boy steps up in a black background on the video, singing in a high aria, mournfully. After a few seconds, other children's voices join in, singing in a key of alto, their heads down, and their skin under the spotlight pale and ghostly. And then, the choir of children stop singing, and their eyes, uniformly, turn vacant, white, and staring, and each child's mouth stretches open into a death-metal screech just as the staccato drums and the blistering opening of "I, The Mask" by In Flames, starts playing over the PA. As the lights come fully up, a battered, dilapidated ice cream truck, it's paint and decals peeling in a sinister manner rumbles up on stage, it's axles shaking with effort. The entrance ramp is backlit with a hellish red lighting as the ice cream truck pulls into a spot just to the left of the entrance ramp, making this vessel seem like some demonic harbinger. The Tron shows scattershot images; SICKO, walking down a long hallway, his back turned to the camera, then we see an image of a plastic clown mask being pulled down over a barely illuminated, scarred head; An apocalyptic, burned out city awash in blood reds and flickering flames; the spotlight on the choir of white-eyed children with their mouths stretched open wide; "Who am I? So many faces, dressed in rags for all to see Here I am in the mask The Jester that wants to be free I am done with watching graves grow mold The sins are mine, I believe them to be All the tears, they're draining me We find the truth through tragedy Give me a sign, I'm on my knees Feel like you've forgotten me Who am I? So many faces, dressed in rags for all to see Here I am in the mask The Jester that wants to be free" As the metal song continues it's nonstop auditory cacophony of shredding guitars and drums, shots of SICKO ruthlessly attacking and destroying past superstars flicker on the screen. Sicko steps out from behind the wheel of the ice cream truck, wearing an unsettling, cracked, slightly charred vintage Halloween mask that looks like a clown with a terrifying grin; As SICKO'S beady eyes stare out through the mask, he cocks an ear, listening to an unheard spoken word or command, and he responds, talking to himself. A red mist rolls out from the interior of the ice cream truck with SICKO. The Demon Clown slowly makes his way down to the ring, like a predator on the hunt. As he climbs onto the apron, Anders is just getting to the "WILL YOU SEE ME IF I SET FIRE TO THE SKY?" SICKO holds his arms out at his sides and he throws his head back, letting out a guttural roar. As SICKO climbs over the top rope, he turns his head to talk to a voice only he can hear, waiting for the match to start.. Billy: How much interest do you think Karlie has in being the ref in this match. Chris Avery: Probably zero.
Karlie motions for the bell. DING DING DINGSICKO and Ves lock up with SICKO backing Ves into the ropes, Karlie nonchalantly counts to four and SICKO breaks to hold. They lock up again and again SICKO backs Ves into the ropes and again Karlie nonchalantly counts and SICKO breaks the hold SICKO whips Ves off the ropes and drives her to the mat with a huge shoulder block, and follows up with a big splash and covers. Nothing, Karlie is leaning against the ropes, SICKO stands up and tries to intimidate Karlie isn’t intimidated and tells SICKO to worry about the match. Ves dropkicked SICKO who crashed into Karlie sending her through the ropes to the outside, SICKO turned around and charged towards Ves attempting a clothesline, Ves ducked under and began to start unleashing strikes to the giant clowns legs. Billy: Great strategy here, attempt to cut SICKO down by weakening his legs.
SICKO shrugs Ves off, Ves throws a kick which SICKO blocks and lifts Ves and tossed her across the ring. Karlie is still down outside, we think. SICKO stalks Ves is visibly thrown off by SICKO power. Ves climbed the ropes and attempted a diving crossbody, SICKO caught her and lifted her to his shoulder and slammed her to the mat with a thunderous vicious Samoan Drop and covered. Again no count. Karlie is not giving a shit as she is up but talking to a group of cougars in the first row. SICKO bellows at her, Karlie just waved him off returning to talking to the cougars, again SICKO bellows, Karlie gets annoyed and at being interrupted and tells SICKO the wait, Ves attempts to sunset flip SICKO but he drops down sitting on Ves’s chest. Fans begin to yell at Karlie who turned to see SICKO sitting on Ves. Karlie slides into the ring and very slowly counts, SICKO rises up again and again and attempts to intimate Karlie, Karlie while unafraid of SICKO backed up. Billy: You were right Chris, Karlie give zero fucks about this match she just spent like ten minutes talking to the old chicks in the front row. Chris Avery: This match is still going. Billy: Sadly yes, I wonder what management was thinking about assigning Karlie to be the guest referee for this match.
Again Ves goes for sunset flip, SICKO goes to sit down but this time Ves moved out of the way, Ves kicked SICKO repeatedly in the chest then superkiced him in the face, Ves ran the ropes and connected with a shining wizard SICKO dropped to the mat and Ves covered Karlie slowly dropped down to count, not need as SICKO powerfully kicked out of the pin attempt. SICKO clubbers Ves down to her knees with boots and heavy clubs to the back, and then he drags Ves down by one arm to the corner, the big man exits the ring, pulls Ves by the arm over to the ringpost, and he yanks Ves under the bottom turnbuckle so that Ves cracks her shoulder first into the post. SICKO, pulling on the arm like he's trying to yank it out of the socket, grabs a hold of it and puts a foot against the apron, pulling back on the arm with all his might as if he's trying to rip it off as the opponent is ground relentlessly against the ringpost. Karlie begins to count. SICKO ignored her count until it reached nine then slid into the ring to break the count. Ves is holding and shaking her arm, She retreats as SICKO stalks her, Ves slides into the ring, SICKO enters and Ves Drops kicks him in the knee, SICKO dropped to a knee. Billy: Vespertine may have possibly found SICKO's Achilles Heel.
Ves connected with a Step Up Enziguri. SICKO seemed to shake it off, Ves delivered another Step Up Enziguri, then a third, then a fourth finally the giant clown fell to the mat, Ves covered SICKO, she looked up to see Karlie just standing, Ves mouthed sometime to Karlie, Karlie dropped down and counted slowly, SICKO again kicked out. Ves annoyed by Karlie began to talk shit to her SICKO grabbed Ves by the waist and Nailed her with a pumphandle suplex SICKO covered and Karlie again counted very slow. Billy: When we go to commercial break can with a new referee out here, with how slow Karlie is counting we might be here all night. Chris Avery: I think Brady Bolt is regretting the decision to assign Karlie to this match.
SICKO powered Ves up from the mat, but she has fight left in her as she unleashed punches and kicks to SICKO is quick rapid succession, SICKO just shakes them off like he’s swatting away flies, almost taunting Ves to try again, Ves Noticed that Karlie wasn’t paying attention, so she kicked SICKO below the belt, SICKO dropped to the mat, Ves scaled the ropes and delivered a moonsault, the climbed the ropes and delivered another one and covered. Karlie turned around and counted. ONE!
TWO!!
NOOO!!!SICKO kicked out Ves connected with a lionsault and and a standing shooting star press and covered. ONE!
TWO!!
NOOO!!!Kickout by SICKO. Ves climbed the ropes and delivered a 450 splash to SICKO. Karlie dropped down to count. ONE!
NOO!!SICKO stood up to the shock of the crowd. SICKO drove Ves to the mat with Under the Big Top. Karlie gave SICKO the finger, then removed her ref shirt and threw it in his face and exited the ring, she yelled at Brady Bolt who had come out, Karlie then walked up the ramp as another ref ran down to count. ONE!
TWO!!THREE!!! DING DING DING Billy: What an... odd ending...
Chris Avery: It was only a matter of time before Karlie Nash would have enough of SICKO's clowning around.

LET'S HEAR FROM JONNY CEDRONE... Billy: Welcome back to Monday Night Clash: April Fool Gold! Wow! What a show so far, Chris! Chris Avery: You got that right, Billy! This has been one helluva show! And to think…we’re not anywhere near being finished yet! Billy: No way! As a matter of fact the US Championship match is around the corner and I understand that Jade Riley has the US Champion cornered to get some words. Chris Avery: She’s not considered Action Wrestling’s greatest Broadcast Journalist for nothing Billy! Billy: True story. Take it away Jade!
The scene cuts to the back where we see Jade Riley once again standing between Gloria and Jonny, with Jonny on her left and Gloria on her right. The crowd erupts at the sight of the US Champion on the Action-tron! Jonny proudly holds the Championship on his left shoulder as he has his arms crossed. Jade Riley: Thank you Billy and Chris! Jonny, we are merely eight days removed from you recapturing that very United States Championship that you wear proudly on your shoulder. How does it feel to once again be the US Champion?!
Jonny looks down at the floor for a brief moment, shoots a grin, lets out a bit of a chuckle then looks over at Jade. Jonny Cedrone: How does it feel? How does it feel?! It feels amazing! But as a defendin’ Champion, there’s no time for rest. There’s no time to soak it all in Jade.
Jonny turns his attention to the camera. Jonny Cedrone: Here we are almost 24 hours removed from Easter. Just yesterday mornin’ ol’ Peter Cottontail hopped up and down that Bunny Trail deliverin’ Easter Baskets to children all over the world. He even stopped by my house. The present he dropped in my lap though is a 6’ 8”, 275 pound, 86 year-old German who wants nothin’ more than to take this Championship off of my shoulder; who wants nothin’ more than to take the US Championship away from The People!
Well huff and huff all you want DRAUGR, your wants mean nothin’ to me!
Here we are on April Fool’s Day! A special edition of Monday Night Clash aptly called April Fool Gold. Every Championship in the company is on the line tonight! All challengers dream about takin’ the Championships from the Champions, to include but not limited to my opponent, DRAUGR.
Yeah, you may be big. You may be tough. You may be impervious to pain.
So what?!
You think that gives you power over me? Give me a break!
You don’t have anything over me DRAUGR!
The United States and Germany may be allies now but remember, it took us kickin’ your all’s asses in two World Wars in order for that to happen. So let that be a lesson to ya DRAUGR. You come after me and try to peel this Championship from my cold dead hands, and I’ll kick your ass all over again!
I live, I sleep, I eat and I breathe for this Championship! When I say that I will do whatever it takes to keep it, it’s so much more than just some cliché! It’s fact! I worked far too long, and far too hard to get this Championship back into my possession and the possession of the People. I’m NOT about to go just eight days after recapturin’ it and losin’ it in my very first Title defense!
That’s just not gonna happen!
You’ll have to kill me in order to take this away from DRAUGR! Nothin’ less than that! It means more to me than life itself so I will do absolutely everything it takes to keep it in the right hands!
And I know you’ll attempt to do just that. That’s good. Like I said, I will do whatever it takes to keep this right here.
We’ve entered a whole new era with the US Championship ladies and gentlemen! One filled with passion; one filled with the burnin’ desire to be the absolute best; one where the Champion isn’t afraid to defend the Championship! I’m a fightin’ Champion and I’m not afraid to prove it! You think you got what it takes to take this from me? Put your money where your mouth is and I’ll take your money and shut you down all in the same motion!
The US Championship is where it belongs and it’s where it’s gonna stay for a loooong time…until I say that it’s time to let it go.
So get used to seein’ this picture because it’s gonna be embedded in your brains for the foreseeable future! DRAUGR, get used to the idea of lookin’ up at the lights because that’s gonna be your fate here tonight!
You think you’re takin’ this from me?
April Fool’s indeed.Jonny storms off camera as Jade throws it back to Billy and Chris.

The Green vs. Jody Madrox(c) Billy: Up next we have the Omega Championship on the line, Jody Madrox, takes on The Green - this mysterious behemoth. Chris Avery: That dude is creepy but he’s made enough waves to get himself an Omega Championship match here at April Fools Gold edition of Clash; lets see how he handles the opportunity
The lights go out. An ancient, gravelly voice reverberates through the arena. “One. Year. Hence.”
The frantic build of Winter by Vivaldi hits the PA, as an image of a tree appears on the screens above the stage. It passes through the seasons, starting in pleasant spring, continuing on to a rainy summer, then a windy autumn, and finally a blizzard of winter. Pale spotlights flicker over the entrance tunnel, as a towering man enters the arena, head held low and covered by his cloak, gripping a large axe. As the first violin solo begins, he lifts his head and the lights stop flickering, revealing the monstrous mask of The Green. He raises his ax, and the lights return to a flicker, darting wildly around the ringside area. He strides down the ramp with purpose, pausing only to glare balefully at the audience. Ethan Miller: From the time of heroes… weighing in at 290 pounds… The Green.
The Green mounts the ring apron, then steps over the top rope and marches to the center of the ring. He turns his glare to his opponent, raises his ax, then brings it down, the lights flashing at the moment of impact with the canvas, before going dark. Two quick raps of the handle on the canvas, and the lights come up, The Green now in his corner and having removed his mask. Billy: That's a big man. Madrox, the champion gives up almost a foot to him. Chris Avery: Those are odds that can be overcome. It happens all the time. However, Green may just be a different kind of beast.
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. Billy: Madrox, no dear. No hesitation. He knows Green will come for him and I know that he will meet Green full force. DING DING DING
Madrox attack, he rushes Green and meets him with a flurry of punches and kicks that don’t seem to have an effect. Green reaches out and connects with a short arm shoulder tackle. Madrox his the ground but gets back up. Green reaches for him but Madrox side steps and hits a german suplex. Green no sells the suplex and stands right back up. Roaring elbow WHAM!
Bionic elbow WHAM!Jaw breaker WHAM!Still the Green stands there unaffected. Chris Avery: Green is now pointing at Madrox.
Roaring elbow WHAM!Bionic elbow WHAM!Jaw breaker WHAM!Billy: Madrox is down. Green just returned the favor with everything Madrox just did.
Madrox gets to his feet, as Green tries for a choke slam but Madrox floats over and out of it. Madrox kicks Green in the gut and lifts him for a suplex…. YES!
Green is on his back. Madrox mounts him for that street justice ground and pound. Chris Avery: The champ not here for the level of disrespect. Madrox has no fear. He has to F’s to give. Billy: Madrox will no doubt go out swinging and he’s not going to let Green dictate this.
Madrox dismounts and starts kick to Green in the face. He then sets up in the corner as green gets to a knee. WHAM!Drive by punt kick cleans the clock…. Billy: Green just rises to his feet!
Madrox goes to the top rope as Green walks towards him WHAM!
Axe handle Green is unaffected. Madrox goes to another corner.. WHAM!
Axe handle. Green is still standing Madrox hurries to another corner but Green catches him for a choke slam… NOOO!!!
Arm strong! Madrox rolls out of it and pops up. Green stands up only to be clotheslined out of the ring by Madrox! Chris Avery: Madrox with a suicide dive!
Madrox picks up Green and whips him into the post. This does seems to shake the big man but he quickly recovers. Madrox drop kicks him into the post and Green is hunched over but again, quickly recovers. Madrox grabs Green and hits an inverted DDT before picking him up and rolling him back into the ring. Quick pin by Madrox. ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!Madrox picks up Green… Airplane Spin into Death Vally Driver!! WHAM!
The pin.. ONE!
TWO!!
KICKOUT!!!Green kicks out again. Madrox goes to the top rope… Frog Splash! Billy: Keke’s Dress! Could that put the big man away?
The pin! ONE!
TWO!!
THR--
KICKOUT!!!Chris Avery: How’d he kick out again!?
Madrox picks up Green but Green fights back, hitting devastating punches that rock Madrox to his core. Madrox tries to fight back but gets scooped up for a high-elevation military press! Madrox is pain, clutching at his chest but he gets to his feet. Billy: Discus big boot from Green. He calls that Autums Wrath!
Green, stalks the champion now.. Madrox tries to get to his feet… WHAM!Winter’s Bough!! The pin! ONE!
TWO!!
THR--
EEEEE!!!DING DING DING Billy: Green has done it! The Green has defeated Jody Madrox! Chris Avery: My god, what an unstoppable force Green will be. Madrox though did not give up. He fought hard and brought it all match. Greens moves are just that impactful. Billy: We have a new Omega Champion here at April Fool’s Gold!! I cannot believe it!!

LET'S HEAR FROM SARA PETTIS...
We are taken backstage, where Jade Riley is standing by with Sara Pettis. Jade Riley: Sara, later tonight... your father-in-law DRAUGR will be taking on Jonny Cedrone for the United States Championship. Earlier tonight, Cedrone had some very serious words for his challenger. Care to respond? Sara Pettis: Certainly, Jade. First of all, it's great to be back in Henderson, Nevada. I inadvertently spent some time in Henderson, when Addy and I were on a bender in Las Vegas one weekend. To this day, we still don't know how we ended up in Henderson. But that's neither here nor there. It's good to be back, and I'll leave it at that.
Now, Jonny Cedrone. Current, reigning, defending United States Champion. He finally reclaimed the title one week ago at Match Madness, overcoming TJ Alexander and his arch rival Doc Holiday. I watched the match again over the weekend, and I'm impressed. He's overcome so much to get that title back, and he's undoubtedly spent the last week riding a wave of popularity. He's probably been interviewed on a bunch of podcasts, and he's probably said a lot of things about the mighty DRAUGR that I know he can't back up.
He recognizes that DRAUGR is a formidable challenge, but I'm not sure he truly grasps the danger his reign is in right now, Jade. He underestimates just how ruthless DRAUGR can be when he sees red. Like a bull in a china shop, the mighty DRAUGR will have a singular focus tonight: destruction. His affection for that championship will cause great heartache when DRAUGR tears it away from him in swift fashion later tonight.
He can pander to the people all he wants, but they can't protect him from the savage beating he's about to endure at the hands of the soon-to-be United States Champion. Earlier tonight, Jonny said that DRAUGR would have to kill him to take that title. I cannot confirm nor deny that DRAUGR has killed before. All I can say is that Jonny should not provoke such a violent creature as the mighty DRAUGR.
I refer to him as a "creature" because later tonight, you're not going to see a human being fighting Jonny for that United States Championship. You're going to see... something more. All of the talking Jonny has done about the title being back where it belongs... means nothing to DRAUGR. All he desires is to destroy whomever stands before him when that bell rings. That's part of his programming from Devil's Gate that he just can't shake, nor do I want him to.
Four years ago, Devil's Gate had possession of the United States Championship when Der Metzger defeated Odin Balfore. And now, here we are, about to repeat history. The difference here is that DRAUGR is much stronger than Der Metzger. Physically, mentally, emotionally. DRAUGR surpasses Der Metzger in every way possible. His reign as United States Champion will be legendary.
DRAUGR's homeland of Germany may have lost both World Wars, but he will not lose the war that takes place later tonight with Jonny Cedrone. The people won't be able to save him from the detrimental loss he's about to endure. They will have to sit in silence and soak in the violence that DRAUGR unleashes inside that squared circle.
Jonny Cedrone, April Fools gone past, and you're the biggest fool at last.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.
She walks off camera, leaving Jade Riley speechless. The show goes to a Paramount+ ad.

Supermarks vs. New Brotherhood(c) Ethan Miller: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Action Wrestling Tag Team Championships of the World!!!!
The lights go out and the guitar riff picks up on Ride Like The Wind by Christopher Cross and it shoots straight into the hook and the lights come on with a farty pyro blast on the stage and both Markersons are on the stage posing! The crowd cheers as they are introduced! Ethan Miller: From Las Vegas, Nevada at a combined weight of 450 pounds, Mark and Marky Markerson, the Supermarks!
They're coming down the ramp already pointing at themselves and giving a few of the fans a pose and high five. Marky is feeling the music and slides in first and continues singing along with the song as Mark jumps up on the apron and climbs up the turnbuckles and points out at the sold out crowd and poses. Mark flips into the ring off the turnbuckles as Marky continues singing and the two pose in the middle of the ring. The music fades as they get prepared in their corner Billy: The Supermarks keep getting their shot, and eventually they’re going to make good on it, I can smell it! Chris Avery: The Supermarks ARE former Tag Team Champions. Billy: And they will be again! Chris Avery: Their opponents the Action Wrestling Tag Team Champions….
“Cold” by Static X begins to play as the announcers talk over it. Chris Avery: The New Brotherhood defended their titles in a brutal Hell in a cell Tag team match. Let’s take a look at the end.
The screen flashes to last week. The screen returns to current day and the camera is still pointing at the entrance ramp. Chris Avery: That was a wild match with a wild ending.
Billy starts to talk, but it sounds like he’s possessed. He isn’t speaking with the typical jovial southern drawl that he has made his name on. But it sounds deep, raspy, and as though it’s being spoken from someone else. Billy: And don’t forget what happened afterwards… Chris Avery: Are you okay, Billy?
The jumbo screen flashes to the end of the New Brotherhood match… We return to normal. The New Brotherhood still haven’t made their way to the ring. Chris Avery: Yea… they’re like supernatural and stuff. Demons and monsters… nothing we haven’t seen here before. Hell, we had to have a stipulation once that no interdimensional portals were allowed during the match!!! Is your head turning all the way around, Billy?
Billy’s voice continues to be monotonous, deep and garbled. Billy: Yes, supernatural indeed, but also… very much NATURAL!!!!!!
Billy screams in horror causing the lights to flicker in the arena again until they shut off. The hushed roar of the crowd can be heard as the jumbo screen turns on again. It looks like an old home video recording with static lines causing it to move up and down on the screen. A dark warehouse illuminated with an eerie red light is seen, and cages holding ferocious looking beasts as the camera walks through. A lion leaps at the side of the screen causing a jump scare to the crowd. And eventually they get to the end. Billy: (his voice back to normal) What… what the hell happened. Chris Avery: I can hear you… looks like communication systems are back up and running… and it sounds like you’re back to normal. Billy: Back to normal… what do you mean. I feel like I just lost the last few minutes… what the hell is that on the screen!?!?
Inside of a cage, tied to each other back to back you see two men wearing black hoods, black tank tops and are in their boxer brief underwear. A bloodied gloved hand unlocks the door to the cage and opens it up. He removes one mask and a long haired, scarred face man is revealed. He removes the other mask and it is the face of Kevin Bishop. Both men look drugged and passed out, the only thing keeping them up is the fact that they’re tied to the ceiling with a rope. The same voice that was possessing Billy begins to speak… ? ? ? ? ?: The precious Action Wrestling Tag Team Champions… the unbeatable, and undeniable. The UNSHAKEABLE… nothing but mere men… MERE MORTALS AFTERALL!!!! For too long we’ve been watching them fight and manhandle weaker foes. For the first time in their life it’s up to them to fend for themselves. It’s very simple to escape this prison… all you have to do is forget everything that makes you whole and return to a life far simpler.
No more demons…
No more monsters…
TIME TO FACE REALITY…
TIME TO FACE THE FEAR THAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE UNDERSIDE!!!
TIME TO RETURN TO NORMALCY!!!!!!Billy: That’s clearly Kevin Bishop… Chris Avery: That must be an unmasked Cipher with him.
Back on the jumbo screen the camera moves backwards and locks the cage. It then pulls a string and a stream of red liquid looking like blood falls on top of the heads of the New Brotherhood tied up. They both stir and wake up, and fight against their restraints. They look over at the camera. Bishop: YOU!!!!! Cipher: WHAT THE FUCK!?!? ? ? ? ? ?: I trust you’ll find your way out… until then… I bid you… Adieu.
Bishop and Cipher struggle against their restraints and the screen shuts off and the lights in the arena rise once more. Billy: They were kidnapped? What kind of sicko does this? Chris Avery: Who would want to make the New Brotherhood suffer. They haven’t exactly made friends since joining Action wrestling.
The Supermarks begin celebrating in the ring. Billy: Well I guess that the New Brotherhood forfeits? Brady Bolt: Not so fast Marky! At action wrestling, forfeiting is not an option, not again for you guys. You aren’t getting those titles off another forfeit. If you want to win, you must do so fairly. And in light of this current situation, I am making an executive decision to postpone this match until we can make sure that our Tag Team Champions are safe and back in action. This match will officially be considered a No Decision, and a rematch will take place asap… TIME TO BOLT!
And he runs off leaving the crowd and the Supermarks upset in the ring. Billy: To recap… the New Brotherhood are kidnapped, but still the tag team champions, and the Supermarks still have this tag team title shot in the future. Chris Avery: Great job. Good to have you back? Billy: What do you mean? Chris Avery: Well, what a strange turn of events. Lets head to commercial while we all sort this out.

Addy A vs. Niobe Martin(c) Ethan Miller: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL and it is for the ACTION WRESTLING TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP! Chris Avery: This next match has some huge stakes, Billy, these two women know each other very well, but Niobe Martin, fresh into her run finally climbing the mountain and WINNING the Television title, has to defend the gold against one of the most dominant TV champions we’ve ever had! Billy: And Niobe knows it, too, as soon as Addy was announced as her contender, she hadda be backstage doing “The Collar Pull.” DING DING DING
Niobe extends her hand to Addy, who warily takes it. Niobe and Addy lock eyes for a good, long moment. But then, Niobe pulls Addy in for a forearm shot to the face. Niobe lays into Addy with several more forearm shots and backs her to the ropes. She whips Addy off, and goes to run off the rope herself. Addy drops down to her stomach and Niobe runs over top of her and to the opposite side of the ring and when Niobe bounces off the ropes back towards a laying Addy, Addy uses her feet to launch Niobe into the air. Addy kips up to her feet as Niobe lands hard, and rolls onto her side, and Addy whips Niobe into the corner, then runs in and stands on the turnbuckles over Niobe and motions to the crowd, then flips back and tosses Niobe into the middle of the ring with a monkey flip. Niobe gets to her feet, and Addy takes her down with a flying forearm smash, then Addy unloads another one as Niobe gets up. Niobe stumbles to her feet, but Addy takes her down with a spinning heel kick. Niobe pulls herself to a knee, wiping at her nose, and looking up at Addy. A look of what could be approval crosses Niobe's face. Chris Avery: Niobe knows she’s in for the fight of her life going up against Addy, who is coming into this match the most focused and hungriest we’ve ever seen. Billy: When you say Addy is hungry, I hear that she’s the type of chick that’ll hang you upside down and lay her eggs inside of you and shit.
Addy comes towards Niobe and lifts her back to her feet, but Niobe sweeps her legs. Addy hits the mat and grimaces in pain, holding her nose, and Niobe quickly makes it worse by giving her a leg drop to the back of the head and driving her face into the mat again. Niobe then quickly locks in a bridging Indian deathlock. Niobe arches her back to pull farther back under Addy's chin with her arms, and Addy lets out a choked scream of pain. The referee asks Addy to give up, but Addy shakes her head no. Addy begins trying to elbow Niobe loose. Niobe releases the hold and then she grabs both of Addy's arms. She pulls Addy upwards but she is also standing on her long hair. Addy screams at this modified and illegal move. The ref tells Niobe to let go or she'll get herself disqualified. Niobe steps off Addy's hair but holds on to her arms, and then rolls forward performing a flipping senton across the sternum of Addy. Niobe then lifts Addy up and, still holding both arms, locks her hands together and gives Addy a double underhook suplex, holding on to one arm and floating it over into a crucifix armbar on Addy after she's finished. Chris Avery: Niobe bring such innovative and unorthodox moves to the table, it's easy to see why she’s been so successful over the last few weeks.
Addy struggles in the crucifix armbar and starts to pull herself up. She pushes forward with her legs, making it so Niobe is stacked up in a pinning predicament, and Niobe breaks the hold, not letting the TV title go that quickly. Niobe gets back up, taking hold of Addy, but Addy sweeps her legs from under her and then flips over for a jackknife cover. Niobe immediately powers out. She gets up, and Addy rolls over her shoulder and down her back, grabbing her tights as she does and pulling Niobe over into a schoolgirl pin. Niobe again pushes her way out before The ref can reposition himself. Niobe, frustrated, gets back up, and goes to lift Addy up, but Addy rolls her into a standing La Magistral cradle pin. The ref counts... ONE!
KICKOUT!!Addy and Niobe get to their feet and Addy begins giving Niobe some stinging kicks to the leg and hamstring. Niobe staggers on one leg, as Addy gives her another harsh kick to the side of the knee. Addy follows up with a short roundhouse to the midsection. Niobe swings for a clothesline but Addy ducks, and Niobe turns right into a step-up enziguri. Niobe flops to the mat. Addy then gives a few knee strikes to the side of Niobe's temple, following it up by floating over into a bridging arm triangle chokehold. Niobe's eyes widen in shock at being put in this unexpected predicament. Addy tightens the hold. The ref asks Niobe if she gives up and Niobe refuses. Addy pulls back on the hold. Niobe reaches out for the ropes, but they aren't in reach. Niobe pulls herself closer, and finally is able to grab the bottom rope, forcing a break. Addy gets up, and lifts Niobe up. Addy lifts Niobe up onto the ropes and drapes her throat across the second rope. Addy then jumps up, using Niobe's back as a springboard to fly over the ropes and as she comes down, she pulls Niobe's head down, hanging her up across the second rope. Niobe falls back into the ring, contorting around, holding her throat, and Addy gets back onto the apron. Addy uses the ropes to slingshot herself in and nail a 360 flipping leg drop across the throat of Niobe. Chris Avery: Addy may take Niobe out here!
Addy pins Niobe... ONE!
TW--KICKOUT!!Niobe reaches for the ropes to pull herself up but Addy lifts her up. She begins giving Niobe a few crossface forearm shots and she tries to lock in a standing camel clutch submission. Niobe runs backward and squashes Addy into the corner. Niobe gives Addy a few elbow shots as she does so. The ref gets in between them, or tries to, telling them to get out of the corner. Niobe holds her hands up innocently as soon as the DQ count begins, but the damage may have been done. Addy stumbles out of the ropes. Niobe then climbs back in the ring, and springs on the second rope, coming off with a springboard headscissors to take Addy down. Niobe applies a single leg Boston crab, but Addy rolls through and rolls Niobe over into a small package type of pin. ONE!TW--KICKOUT!!Chris Avery: Addy has been amazing since her return, and has made short work of Driller Jaworski and Jessie Lee to claim the Cruiserweight Title… if she can fight through the pain, if she can find a way to succeed tonight, she wants nothing less than to be Addy Two Belts!
Martin lifts Addy up and hooks her in a facelock as if she's going to go for a shiruanui, but Addy frees her head, grips Niobe's arm and pulls the other one around her throat for a straightjacket. Then, she drops back with a lungblower, dropping Niobe across her knees. To follow this up, she turns Niobe over, keeping both of Niobe's arms wrapped around her throat with the straightjacket, as she sits on Niobe's back and pulls her wrists backwards in a modified camel clutch stranglehold. The referee checks to see if Niobe will submit, but Niobe refuses. Addy keeps the hold applied. Niobe screams she won't give up. Finally, Addy untangles Niobe's arms from around her throat and Biel tosses Niobe to the mat. Niobe rolls over, and Addy charges in… BOOM, Superkick right to the boob (or, heart, I guess) Chris Avery: HEARTLESS CONNECTS!! ONE!TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!!!Billy: There's the Addy we know and love, if she encounters a problem, she'll boot the hell out of it!
Addy looks down at Niobe in disbelief. She shakes her head, and lifts Niobe up and whips her into the corner. Addy comes charging in, looking for a big corner splash. However, Niobe moves out of the way and Addy hits the turnbuckle chest first. She turns around, holding her chest in pain. When Addy turns, she is gripped around the head by Niobe, who drops down and gives her a double knee facebuster. Niobe lifts Addy up, hooking her in a front facelock, then giving her the Gory neckbreaker that is the Hallucination! Chris Avery: NIOBE WITH THE HALLUCINATION! SHE’S GONNA FINALLY TAKE DOWN ADDY A!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!!Chris Avery: ADDY KICKED OUT! HOLY SHIT HOW DID ADDY KICK OUT??
A shocked, dejected and stunned Niobe slumps off of Addy, and the horror dawning in her eyes tells the story; She’s come up against Addy so many times and fallen short, but this time, there’s so much at stake, this time, she’s the newly minted Television champion. Niobe snarls, and she looks down at Addy, and a feral snarl crosses her face. She mouths choice words, including the “B” and “C” word which, you know, Addy probably doesn’t take offense to, also swearing that Addy will not take this from her. Addy is laid out on the mat following the finisher. Niobe shakes her head, and starts making her way to the ropes. She struggles to scale to the top rope, and slips a bit, but then rights herself, and sets herself up for a shooting star press. Chris Avery: NIOBE CALLING FOR PHANTASM HORROR! IF SHE HITS THIS, IT’S GAME OVER, ADDY ISN’T KICKIN OUT!! Billy: Think of all the times she’s said mean things to you, Niobe! Think of finally getting your revenge!!
Niobe flies off the top rope with a Beautiful attempt at a shooting star press… however, mid-flight, she sees that Addy is already rolling out of the way. Niobe changes trajectory, and flips down to land in a standing position, not getting caught by a crash landing. But, Addy is wily and as soon as Niobe turns around, looking for where Addy rolled to, Addy reaches up and pulls Niobe down into an inside cradle. ONE!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!!!Niobe is mortified at nearly being caught napping, and as soon as she breaks free she dives in and gives Addy an axehandle to the back of the head. Niobe then pins Addy in return. ONE!
TWO!!
THR--KICKOUT!!!Niobe motions for Addy to get up, and she backs up, going for a True Nightmare enziguri, but Addy ducks right under Niobe's leg and sprints forward. Niobe turns around, and Addy catches her with a boot to the gut, following it up with a split-legged stunner! Niobe’s jaw hits her shoulder and flies back, and Addy scrambles over! Chris Avery: WAIT A MINUTE! TINDERIZER!! TINDERIZER OUT OF NOWHEREEE!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR--
EEE!!!DING DING DING Ethan Miller: Here is your winner… ANDDDD NEWWWWW ACTION WRESTLING TELEVISION CHAMPION… ADDYYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
“Nightmare” by Halsey hits on the PA, as Addy sits up, exhausted and sweaty, but smiling broadly as she is handed TWO title belts, her Cruiserweight AND TV titles! Elated, Addy stands up, holding the titles. Chris Avery: THE ADDY TWO BELTS ERA HAS BEGUN!!
Niobe is crushed as she rolls out of the ring, staring in disbelief as Addy ascends the ropes, holding both titles up. Chris Avery: Niobe gave it everything she had, she brought the fight to Addy, one of the most dominant Bad Bitches in AW history! She has so much to be proud of in her run with the TV title! Billy: But look at Addy!! Man, she’s gonna be exhausted from “celebrating” all night tomorrow!!
Addy holds the titles on her shoulders, as a huge ovation goes up from the crowd.oes up from the crowd.

LET'S HEAR FROM...
We are taken to a skybox, high above the arena. There we see Sara Pettis with Cruiserweight/Television Champion Addy A. They converse amongst themselves as they are moments away from watching the mighty DRAUGR challenge Jonny Cedrone for the United States Championship. Their conversation is off mic, but it is interesting to note that Sara cannot take her eyes off of the Cruiserweight Title as Addy is talking. The scene suddenly cuts to an image--

DRAUGR vs. Jonny Cedrone(c)
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: Lexi looks concerned for her grandpa, and for good reason! He ain’t been holdin’ up great as of late!
Lexi takes a seat next to the timekeeper. The arena goes pitch black as the audience are abuzz with excitement, then the jumbotron and the PA system comes to life as white strobe lights flicker with the be riffs of the guitars and beats of the drums of the opening moments of “Broken, Beat and Scarred” by Metallica. The fans erupt into loud, almost deafening cheers because they know who’s about to make their appearances. First through the curtain comes his wife, Gloria with a huge grin on her face. The fans in attendance, especially the guys, go completely nuts at the sight of the lovely Gloria! She stops at the top of the ramp, turns and points towards the curtains and almost as if on cue, out comes “The King of Sexy” Jonny Cedrone with his Championship strapped around his waist sending the fans into such a frenzy that they almost blow the roof of the place. Jonny stands at the top of the stage for a moment, looking out at the crowd, soaking it all in. Ethan Miller: And his opponent… weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds… he is the current, reigning, defending Action Wrestling United States Champion… JONNY CEDRONE!!!
Jonny reaches behind himself, unsnaps the Championship then holds it high above his head to the delight of all of the fans. Placing the Championship up onto his shoulder and with huge smiles on their faces they make their way down the aisle, slapping some of the outstretched hands of the fans along the way. Once they reach the ring, Cedrone holds Gloria’s hand as she walks up the steel steps and walks along the ring apron. Jonny hops up onto the apron, stands on the bottom rope and pulls up on the middle rope to let his wife into the ring. Jonny follows suit, wipes his feet and makes his way into the ring. Once inside, Jonny climbs each turnbuckle and plays to the crowd with the Championship held high above his head with Gloria following him around, smiling, applauding and waving to the crowd. Once he’s done, Cedrone hops down from the final turnbuckle where he and Gloria talk a little bit as he waits for the match to begin. Billy: The fans here in Henderson sure do love Jonny Cedrone! Chris Avery: That makes sense. We’re only a half hour from his hometown, Billy. Billy: No foolin’? Chris Avery: No foolin’.
Gloria goes to take a seat by Lexi and the timekeeper, and the match is about to begin. DING DING DING
DRAUGR darts across the ring and scoops Cedrone up, ramming him into the corner. Cedrone crashes hard and DRAUGR fires off with some heavy body shots. Billy: SHITFIRE!
Cedrone manages to push DRAUGR off, catching the masked man coming back in with a boot to the dome, followed by a jumping high knee. DRAUGR staggers back. Cedrone catches him with a facebuster to the knee, and then a clothesline from hell. Billy: ROYAL FLUSH!
DRAUGR hits the mat and Cedrone covers him quickly. ONE!
TWO!!
THR–KICKOUT!!!DRAUGR shoves Cedrone off and he sits up, staring intensely at the champion as he gets to his feet. Chris Avery: Fast and furious action here to kick this match off! Billy: Too fast! Too furious!
Cedrone wasted no time, and he puts the boots to the mighty DRAUGR. Every time he knocks DRAUGR back to the mat, he sits up again with more intensity. He goes for another boot, and DRAUGR catches his foot, wrapping it around the back of his neck and dragging Cedrone to the mat, wrenching away at his leg. It’s not long before Cedrone is able to reach the ropes, and the referee tells DRAUGR to release the hold. He starts to count… ONE! TWO! THREE! FO–
The mighty DRAUGR releases the hold, and gets to his feet. Cedrone is also to his feet now. DRAUGR charges at Cedrone, and he is caught with a spinebuster in the center of the ring. The fans pop as Cedrone goes for the cover. ONE!
TWO!!
THR–KICKOUT!!!Cedrone is quick to transition to a front facelock, and he drags the challenger up to his feet. DRAUGR breaks free and he shoves Cedrone. Cedrone goes for another clothesline, but DRAUGR ducks it and slides behind Cedrone, locking in a vicious sleeper hold. He drags Cedrone back to the corner, and starts climbing up the ropes backwards, dangling Cedrone’s feet off of the mat. The fans boo the challenger as he chokes the life out of Cedrone. Because they are both on the ropes, the referee starts to count. ONE! TWO! THREE! FO–
The mighty DRAUGR lets go of Cedrone, and he crumbles to the mat. DRAUGR is seated on the top rope as he looks out at the angry fans in Henderson, Nevada. DRAUGR stands on the middle rope, then climbs to the top rope. He looks down at Cedrone as he stands up on the top rope. Billy: What’s he doin– Chris Avery: OHMYGOD!!
DRAUGR jumps off with a double stomp in mind, but Cedrone rolls toward the corner, evading danger. DRAUGR drops both feet firmly on the mat, and he tumbles on the mat, getting back to his feet. He shakes it off and charges at Cedrone, who is pulling himself up in the corner. DRAUGR connects with a huge splash, and he follows up with a running powerslam in the middle of the ring. Chris Avery: THERE’S THE COVER!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR–KICKOUT!!!The crowd goes bonkers as their (almost) hometown guy kicks the fuck out of that running powerslam from the mighty DRAUGR. DRAUGR grabs Cedrone by the throat and drags him up off of the mat. Cedrone breaks free and connects with a diamond cutter out of fucking nowhere. Billy: ACE IN THE HOLE!!
The fans go wild. Billy: COVER HIM, JONNY! YOU GOT THIS!
Cedrone crawls over and he rolls DRAUGR over, covering the behemoth while hooking a leg. ONE!
TWO!!
THR–KICKOUT!!!Cedrone sits up, amazed that DRAUGR kicked out. He gets to his feet and he claps his hands. The fans in attendance clap along with him as the mighty DRAUGR slowly gets to his feet. He turns toward Cedrone, who goes for another diamond cutter– Billy: ACE IN THE– Chris Avery: NOO!!! DRAUGER LOCKED IN ANOTHER SLEEPER HOLD!!!
DRAUGR kicks the back of Cedrone’s knees, forcing the champion down as he wrenches away with the sleeper hold. Cedrone starts to fade and the referee checks on him. As the life drains from his eyes, the fans start to chant. LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 Slowly but surely, Cedrone starts to shake his fists, as if their chanting is fueling his desire to remain United States Champion. Billy: THE PEOPLE’S CHAMP IS STILL HANGIN’ ON!!! Chris Avery: BUT FOR HOW LONG?!!
Cedrone pushes up to his feet and he delivers vicious elbows to DRAUGR’s ribs. One final big one backs DRAUGR out of the sleeper hold. Cedrone grabs DRAUGR for a mic check, but DRAUGR side headbutts the fuck out of Cedrone, rocking the champion out of the hold. DRAUGR grabs him by the throat and chokeslams him, then connects with a standing moonsault. Billy: WRONG TURN!! Chris Avery: THERE’S THE COVER!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR–
KICKOUT!!!The mighty DRAUGR can’t believe it, and neither can the fans in Henderson, Nevada! He sits up and stares at the referee, who confirms that it was only a two count. DRAUGR gets to his feet and he goes to the corner, staring out at the fans as they chant for their (almost) hometown hero. LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 LET’S GO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏👏 Enraged, he turns around and stares heat seeking missiles at Cedrone. Cedrone rolls over and starts to push off of the mat. DRAUGR walks over and stomps on Cedrone’s back. Cedrone rolls onto his back, and DRAUGR reaches down, scooping Cedrone up across his chest. In one impressive feat of strength, the mighty DRAUGR hoists him into a tombstone piledriver into a wheelbarrow facebuster. Billy: UTURTIMAAAA!!!! Chris Avery: THERE’S THE COVER!!!! ONE!
TWO!!
THR–
KICKOUT!!!??!Chris Avery: WHAT?!!@># Billy: HOW THE FUCK DID HE KICK OUT OF THAT>?!!

HO-LY SHIT! The mighty DRAUGR grabs Cedrone by the throat and drags him up off of the mat. He holds him up and stares out at the people, and Cedrone starts swinging at his midsections with strikes, but there isn’t enough oomph to do any damage. DRAUGR turns Cedrone around and he hoists him up in an electric chair, then cradles Cedrone’s head and wrecks him with an ushigoroshi! Billy: … Chris Avery: …
HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! Billy: TODESKINGE!!! Chris Avery: THERE’S THE COVER!!! ONE!

The mighty DRAUGR is handed the United States Champion, and he holds it high over his head. Cedrone is being checked on by Gloria, and DRAUGR goes after him for more, but Lexi stands in the way and pushes him. He tries to push past her, but she shoves his chest and yells at him to stop. He stands motionless, as if snapping out of a trance. He looks down at Cedrone, and then at the championship in his hand. He stumbles back to the ropes, clutching onto the title close to his chest.

Main Event Odin Balfore vs. Teo Blaze(c)
Ethan Miller: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is for the Action Wrestling World Championship!! Chris Avery: Huge big fight feel as we head into the story of all stories, this one has it all. Blaze versus Goliath. Two opponents who know each other well going all the way back to WCF. Who will lead the company going forward, coming out of Match Madness, and WHO will emerge from this match as World Champion?? Billy: All of that brought to you on our new streaming home on PEACOCK! That's right, you can follow Action Wrestling now available on PEACOCK, sandwiched between twenty-three of the twenty-seven available seasons of Law and Order SVU reruns! Chris Avery: ...You know, if you're going to throw out April Fools jokes, you need to commit to make them believable. Ethan Miller: Introducing first...
“ 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!
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... Ethan Miller: From Houston, Texas, weighing in at 400 lbs... he is the 2024 Match Madness Winner... THE ALL-FATHER.... ODIN BALFORE!!!
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 down the ramp as he waits for the match to get underway. Chris Avery: Odin Balfore fought through one of the wildest, most unpredictable tournaments in recent history, before triumphing in a hell of a match against a game Tatiana Jolee in the finals of Match Madness to win a shot at the World Championship tonight. It's been over four years since Odin has held the big gold, can tonight be the night he climbs the mountain? Billy: Bitch, isn't HE the mountain to climb? Doesn't he just need to step slightly up a hill to get there? Look at the size of him! Ethan Miller: Annnnd his opponent...
The lights begin flashing wildly, alternating between plain white light and dark red shades, as a haunting, almost sinister sound fills the arena. Suddenly, a roaring guitar riff echoes throughout the arena as a crash of static appears on the screens, followed by a message: t E c H n I c A l D i F f I c U l T i E s
P l E a S e D o N o T a D j U s T y O u R s E t Ethan Miller: From Houston, Texas... weighing in at 195 lbs... he is the ACTION WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION... TEO BLAZE!!
Then, without warning, the static is consumed by a smiling, dark red face as the ramp lights up with a burst of flame! The instant the flames fade, standing in the center, as though the flames themselves had summoned him, is Teo Blaze. He wears a bright red and gold mask over his face, matching the face that appeared on the tron moments ago. He turns towards the ring, his head hanging slightly to one side limply, even unnaturally, then slowly, he reaches up, and with his left hand...he removes the mask to reveal his face, an expression of wild abandon etched across it, a crooked smile showing a row of bright teeth. With a sinister laugh, he begins walking purposefully towards the ring, his eyes wild with anticipation- yet there is a determined swagger in his step, and as he walks up the stairs to the ring, he holds out the mask in front of him with one hand, the smile on his face matching the mask's smile perfectly. Finally, he steps into the ring, stretching loosely and preparing for the match. Chris Avery: WHAT AN OVATION FOR THE WORLD CHAMPION!! Billy: It may have been the unlikeliest of stories, but Teo has overcome Tatiana Jolee, he triumphed over Gerard Angelo, he turned back Jaice Wilds... the last two months, Teo has been giving these fans something to believe in! Chris Avery: Teo is staring Odin down, he is not intimidated. He knows that this could be the biggest test he has had to face yet.
Flashbulbs flicker throughout the building as Odin and Teo meet in the center of the ring. The air is electric in the arena as the referee motions for both men to stand down, and holds the AW World Championship up in the air. Chris Avery: It's go time!! DING DING DING
Both men obviously know what's at stake as they stare each other down, Odin flexing his arms and motioning forward with a smile on his face, Teo Blaze circling him, not looking perturbed by the size difference between the two. Odin starts trying to clear the distance, laughing confidently but just as the massive paw of Odin comes in for a swat, Teo dances out of the way. Odin tells him to come on. Finally, Odin closes the space between them, but Teo begins lighting him up with an aggressive flurry of chops. Odin blocks one right hand, and starts throwing bombs of his own, backing the smaller man up. Teo, taking the opportunity, ducks under a larger right hand arc, and kicks Odin in the kneecap to make him bend down before he begins pounding on the head. Back and forth they go like this, when its Odin who blocks a Teo right hand and counter with a knee into the midsection. Odin takes Teo back into the ropes before shooting him across the ring, Teo bounces off the ropes as Odin drops his head looking for a back body drop, Teo counters with a boot to the face. Odin's head spins to the side, and he immediately gets back up, straightening and wiping his chin off with an expression of "Huh." and nodding his approval. Then, the All-Father snarls at Teo and clubs him down with a forearm smash. He goes for a cover, but Teo slides under his feet and rolls to the apron. Chris Avery: Teo Blaze is doing everything he can to eat away at Odin's armor with quick strikes and evasion. Billy: Stick and move, baby, stick and move!
Odin, annoyed now, goes over to reach over the ropes and pul Teo up, but Teo reaches up, grabbing the head and hangs Odin up, and Odin's head snaps off the top rope and he stumbles away a few steps. Odin hunches over, but he looks backwards with an expression that is clearly saying he's having quite enough. As he turns around Teo springs between the middle and top rope, hitting a slingshot spear. The fans cheer at the massive and lightning quick assault that Teo just administered on the Nordic Tank who rolls on the mat in pain, holding his midsection. Blaze goes for an early cover. ONE! NOO!!
Odin THROWS Teo off of the cover. Teo looks up, perturbed but not surprised by the show of power at being launched off the cover, and Odin is already rolling onto his elbows. After a second of gathering their respective wits, both men are to their feet. Odin holds his arms up to clinch Teo, who feeds right into it, looking like he's going straight into a tie up. However, as he leans in, Teo again attacks the knee, kicking the side of it and making it twist to the side and bringing Odin's massive head down about a foot. With this momentary position change, Odin eats a hard right. Rolling away from the red hot Blaze, Odin quickly rises and regroups in the corner. The cocky smirk is gone and replaced with a sadistic and sinister snarl. Chris Avery: Odin doesn’t look like he’s appreciating the assault from Blaze.
Odin shakes his head and slaps his hands together as he approaches Teo. They go for the tie up again, but this time Odin kicks him in the gut instead. Grabbing his arm he whips Teo into the ropes and knocks him to the ground with a shoulder block on the return. A few stomps has Teo reeling in pain as he tries to stand. Odin headbutts the World champ into the corner and follows up with a few shots to the body. An elbow to the face has Teo bleeding from his nose, and stumbling away. Odin plants him with a vicious and simple scoop slam, and follows it up with an elbow drop across the chest. The big man rolls onto his haunches for a pin. ONE!
KICKOUT!!Odin lifts Blaze off the mat and goes to throw a punch, but Blaze manages to get a jab in. A stunned Odin is caught off guard as Blaze grabs his head and drives a few knees into his forehead from a clinch; and also a few dirty elbows that split his lip open. Blaze releases the clinch, backs up and lunges forward with a clothesline that floors Odin. He transitions down toward the knee of the big man. Blaze looking to wear the monster down with a knee bar, this move, when done correctly, can cause a significant amount of pain. Odin yells in pain in the middle of the ring. He lunges towards the ropes, but the World champ isn’t making it easy. Finally, Odin manages to make it to the ropes and the referee forces Teo to break the hold. Odin tries to stand on his injured leg, but Blaze is like a shark that smells blood and quickly goes back to work. He drives a shoulder into the back of the injured knee and forces Odin to collapse on the bad knee. He quickly backs up and executes a beautiful spinning wheel kick to the back of Odin’s head. It takes some work to muscle the 400 pounder over for a pin, but Teo does it. ONE!
KICKOUT!!Odin throws a shoulder up off the mat. Not wasting the time to bitch about it, Teo quickly and aggressively locks in a rear chin lock. The referee is on the spot asking Odin to surrender. Odin refuses before starting to work his way up to a vertical base where he counters with a jaw breaker. Odin gets back to his feet where he nails Teo with a chop across the chest which sends Teo back into a neutral corner. Odin comes forward where he shoots him across the ring and into the opposite buckles. Odin charges forward where he's met with a boot to the face that staggers Odin back out towards the center of the ring. Teo explodes with a running knee to the jaw of Odin which sends Odin to the mat. Teo quickly snatches both legs of Odin where he looks to lock in a sharpshooter. Odin quickly squirms towards the ropes where he's able to latch on to the bottom rope which causes a break at the referee's request to Teo. Teo releases the thick legs of Odin as he makes his way out to the center of the ring while Odin slides out to the floor where he begins pacing back and forth with his hands on his hips. The referee starts laying the count to Odin, it's at his five count that Odin climbs back up on the ring apron before stepping back into the ring. He and Teo circle each other once more before looking to lock up. The crowd boo's as Odin thumbs Teo in the eyes before driving a boot to the midsection which allows Odin to take a front face lock. He snaps Teo over with a suplex before quickly getting to his feet where he pulls Teo towards a neutral corner. Odin then unexpectedly gets an angry look in his eye, and the big man throws all caution to the wind as he starts getting up on the ropes, even though it doesn't look like structurally they want to hold his weight. Odin picks himself up to stand on the second rope, and then he goes one step higher to the top rope before coming off with an attempted Vader Bomb, but suddenly Teo pulls his knees up at the last second which causes Odin to drive himself into them midsection first. It is quite possibly the most breath taking few seconds we could expect. Especially so in the aftermath, for Odin, who is rolling around holding his midsection. The crowd erupts in a burst of applause. Chris Avery: We just saw Odin Balfore willingly take his feet off the ground, and try for a splash from the ropes! Billy: And, somehow, Teo ain't lying flat as a pancake. Amazing.
Teo starts pushing himself up on his elbows, thinking if he scrambles over he could get a cover. Odin suddenly gets a burst of energy and slides out of the ring. Odin paces into the aisle, coughing and having a fit. Teo follows, foolishly, right into the trap of the monster. Odin turns and catches an off guard Teo with a thunderous clothesline. The cruiserweight’s head bounces off the thin mats in a sick fashion. Teo holds the back of his head as Odin continues to regain his composure. He finally approaches Teo, lifts him off his feet, and whips him into the steel post. Teo can’t stop his momentum and goes pinging head first into the unforgiving steel. He ricochets off the post and collapses in a heap. Odin stalks over, punishing Teo with some wicked clubs to the back, then he lifts Teo up, wraps an arm around his midsection and bullrushes Teo back with force, driving the small of Teo's back into the side of the ring apron! Teo yells and contorts in agony, and then, Odin drives Teo back first into the apron again, harder this time! The referee begs them to get back in the ring, as Teo falls like a sack of potatoes. Chris Avery: Odin is having his way with Teo on the outside. Billy: MF thinks this is Burger King, and we're about to trigger Daemon fans with a Whopper commercial.
Odin grins, then, sadistically, reaches down to palm Teo's head like a fucking basketball, and yank him up by the hair. The referee admonishes Odin some more. Odin releases the hold enough to Biel toss Teo across the entire aisle, letting him splat against the pavement. He gives the referee a dark look, rolls under the bottom rope just enough to break any count the ref was thinking of giving, and goes back to lift Teo up. He lifts Teo up by the arm, and irish whips him with force into the steel steps, dislodging them a bit with a jarring bang and Teo hits shoulder first. Teo grips his arm and screams. Odin, his confidence at an all time high, turns to the crowd to taunt them with an "up yours" gesture, as they're jeering and booing the All-Father's dissection of the scrappy champion. Chris Avery: Odin is not generally well-liked by these fans, but he's taking it to a new level tonight, showing clear disdain for the champion and vowing to end his Cinderella story. Billy: Is that not one of the real philosophical quandaries of our time, what it means to be loved? Chris Avery: You go right back to talking about barbecue sauces or I'll smack you with a spittoon.
Odin blows the fans off with an "aw, whatever" hand wave, then backs up around the corner of the ring, gathering steam for a running start. He then charges around the ring, gaining momentum, and he bull rushes Teo, laying against the steel steps. He's about to boot Teo's head into the steel steps when Teo, at the last second, drop toeholds him. Odin falls face first into the corner of the steel steps with a loud BANG. Odin slumps off, and he rolls over dazed, where he pushes himself up, and holds his head as he lays against the apron, blinking. Teo also takes a second, trying to use the steel steps to push himself up. The referee checks on both men, and he's aware he should be counting them both out, but he holds off as he leans out and checks. Teo breathes heavily, but his eyes open up with a wild abandon as he blocks out all the pain and slides in the ring, then he sprints to the far side of the ropes, gathering momentum as he "blazes" back to the side near a dazed Odin. Odin turns and Teo flies through the ropes with such a breakneck speed and devil-may-care lack of concern for his own safety that he plows into Odin like a comet, and takes them both down into the aisle! Chris Avery: THERE'S THE TEO BLAZE WE KNOW! THROWING ALL CAUTION TO THE WIND! Billy: He don't care about his own body, he'll sacrifice it all!!
Odin, being bigger and more solid to absorb that hit, is sitting up, Teo, despite the success, does look as if he just rammed his car into a brick wall, but he's getting up as well... Odin stumbles, turning to Teo, and Teo grabs the big man's head and drops down, hitting him with a jawbreaker that makes Odin stumble even further away into the aisle. Now Teo hops up onto the apron itself, then, waits for Odin to turn around, and Teo sprints the length of the apron before hopping off, taking Odin down with a METEORA that drops them both in the aisle, and Odin is down! Odin is down! Teo rolls onto his back, breathing heavily. Teo and Odin both lay out, Teo giving huge, gasping lungfuls of air from the exerted effort, then he painfully gets up and begins trying to lug the dead weight of the All-Father up, to not much success. The referee starts counting them out, and gets to a count of 4. Billy: This match is too important to end in a count-out! This is the culmination of Match Madness, baby! This is not a joke to make of April, fools!!
The referee is still counting (6! 7!) and Teo groans as he's trying to lift one giant leg of Odin up, Teo rolls into the ring to break the count, but as he goes to lift Odin up again, Odin nails him with an elbow to the back of the head. Odin snarls, and looks down at Teo with an annoyed look on his face. Now Odin lifts Teo up and throws him in the ring. Teo starts pulling himself up to his knees. Odin gets in the ring himself. The referee checks on Teo, but he waves it off. He’s already taken a battering, but he is not willing to give up just yet. Odin goes to lift him, but Teo gives him a flying forearm, making Odin stumble off. Teo runs at Odin, going for another flying forearm, springing up into the air so that there is full force behind his punch, but Odin swings Teo in a circle, driving him into the mat with a high angle spinebuster! Chris Avery: THE ENFORCER! THE ENFORCER CUTS TEO BLAZE DOWN!!
Odin rolls over, using his weight to bear down on Teo's chest and neck with his elbow and hooking a leg. Billy: That's it, this story is over, Odin is just too much for Teo. It was a good run, but... ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!! Chris Avery: Teo with the heart of a champion!
Odin quickly smirks as he gets back up to his feet. Teo 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 Teo with one hand by his cheeks. He shouts some abuse into his face, but Teo suddenly counters with a kick to the kneecap. Odin instantly lets go of Teo, keeling over painfully. Teo runs at the ropes, rebounding and flattening Odin with a cross body. Teo 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 Teo, trying to force him to dismount whilst swatting the punches away. Odin finally manages to get Teo to cease his attack by raking his eyes, a tactic deployed by Teo not so long ago. Odin throws Teo off of him and quickly climbs to one knee. Teo suddenly runs, springs off the ropes and takes the big man down from half-mast with a springboard Oscutter! The crowd explodes at the flashy move! Chris Avery: PSYCHOGUN! PSYCHOGUN CUTS THE ALL-FATHER DOWN TO SIZE! Billy: I'M CHANGING MY MIND RAPIDLY ON THE VICTOR BASED ON THIS NEW INFORMATION! ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!!
Teo slaps the mat in frustration. He motions for Odin to get up. Odin pulls himself to his feet on the ropes. Teo comes running at him, but Odin pulls down the top rope, looking to send Teo to the outside. Teo catches his balance and drops down on the apron. Odin turns around, right into an elbow shot from Teo that makes him stagger away, and Teo springs up to the ropes, and attempts to come off with a flying forearm shot, but Odin catches him and delivers a huge fallaway slam that sends Teo flying across the ring. Teo rolls out onto the other side of the apron, holding his back. Odin rests, trying to catch his breath. The ref checks to make sure both men can continue. Chris Avery: This resembles a game of chess, point and counterpoint, matching wits as well as strength. Billy: You actually play chess?... Nerd.
Odin goes to pull Teo back into the ring but Teo grabs his head, pulling it down on the top rope and hanging Odin up. Odin falls back, grabbing at his throat. Teo climbs in the ring, and Odin gets up holding his throat. Teo kicks out the bad wheel of Odin in double time, and quickly follows up with a spinning back kick to the back of the head, aka the Habanero Hurricane. Teo quickly scales the ropes lucha style, and goes to the top, setting his feet and checking Odin's positioning, finally crashing down with the speed of a meteor falling to earth (as Neil Degrasse Tyson yells "ACKshually it's A - " from the upper stands) across Odin's midsection with a 450 splash. Teo hangs on to the leg for a cover. Chris Avery: Some how, some way, Teo has really begun bringing the fight to Odin. This is incredible! He is giving everything he has to defending the title tonight! ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!!
Teo falls back and runs his hands over his face in agitation. The crowd is chanting "Teo, Teo, Teo" You can see it in his face, he has pushed so hard for this spot for so long, but as he looks at the titanic frame of Odin, a hesitance of "What more do I have to do??" passes over it. Several long moments pass by as Teo recovers his strength, but finally, Teo stiffens his upper lip, vowing to fight to the bitter end, and walks over to the corner again and motions to the crowd, who respond with a pop. Teo climbs up to the ropes, and he sets himself for a moment, then he flies off with an attempted double knee drop. Odin grabs Teo's knee as it hits, softening the blow. Before Teo can react, Odin stands up still holding Teo's knee and his leg. He then spins Teo around so he's facing away from Odin, then Odin wraps him up in a full nelson and drops him with a neckbreaker. Both men are down for a moment, winded and unable to move. Odin slowly pulls himself to his feet, and he walks over to Teo and lifts him up, going for an airplane spin! Odin spins Blaze rapidly one way, then course corrects to fling him a ful 360 degrees in the other direction, finally getting dizzy enough to let the legs go and throwing Blaze across the ring! Odin wobbles, and he falls to a knee. Then, the big man stalks to his feet, and starts calling for Teo to get up. When Teo does, Odin hooks him from the side, looking for a chokeslam to plant him, but Teo is able to get around him, reach down, grab the head, and drop down into a DDT out of desperation. Both men are down, and at the moment Blaze too tired to capitalize. Finally, Teo rolls over and limply drapes an arm over Odin's chest. ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!! Billy: He kicked out! Odin is still alive in this! Chris Avery: Let's talk about the willpower of Odin Balfore, he's been disrespected over the years, and people have questioned if he is the legend he says he is. He determined that in the Match Madness tournament, he was fighting for all of the respect he's ever been denied, and he proved to be unstoppable the whole way. Tonight might be the night, tonight Odin Balfore might just power through and finally reclaim the AW World Title!!
Teo pushes himself up on his elbows, goggling at Odin, and looking crestfallen as he sees the giant is already rolling over. Teo gets to his feet. He lifts Odin up, but Odin cuts him off with an uppercut. Teo stumbles away. Odin gets to his feet, and he begins peppering Teo with right hands, backing him to the ropes. He whips Teo to the ropes and takes him down with a back body drop. Teo gets to his feet, into a snap suplex. Teo rolls his back in pain and gets to his feet. Odin puts him up on his shoulders and takes him down with a running powerslam, then rests against the ropes for a second. He walks back over to Teo, and tries to lift Teo up, but Teo kicks Odin right in the kneecap, bringing Odin down to the mat. Odin rolls out of the ring. Teo rolls out after him, and he grabs Odin by the head and walks him over to the announce table. He begins slamming Odin's head off the announce table, once, twice, three times. Finally, he clears the table off and rolls Odin on top of the table. Billy and Avery scamper out of the way. The ref is counting him out, and Teo rolls back in the ring. Teo paces over to the ropes, climbs the turnbuckle, and then he flies off with a huge leg drop, all the way to the announce table, and both men slide off the announce table, which was not made to break. Still, Teo hits with the force of a freight train, and both men slide out onto the floor, stunned by this massive bump, and the crowd begins a MASSIVE "Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit" chant! Chris Avery: OH MY GOD, TEO JUST SPLATTERED OVER TOP OF THE TABLE! Billy: You can marvel at the amazing construction work and craftsmanship to survive that collision, or you can shout "I AM THE TABLE, I AM, I AM, I AMMMM"
Both men are laid out in the middle of the aisle. The ref, at a loss if he should throw the whole match out now, checks on both men. Odin is grimacing, but getting up to one knee, and, even more improbably, one single arm of Teo Blaze peeks up and throws itself over the announce table like a drowning man clutching. THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 THIS IS AWE-SOME! 👏👏👏👏👏 Teo slowly picks himself up, but sinks back to his knees, in too much pain to move, and the referee looks absolutely flabbergasted, but he's like well SHIT, now I have to count them both out. 1...2....3....4....5... Teo starts to stir... 6... Odin crawls off the ruined table... 7... trying to make his way back to the apron... 8... 9... running in tandem, Teo and Odin roll in just before the final count. Teo looks to his left at the giant who just made the count with him, and immediately clubs Odin over the back, and knees him in the side of the head. Odin blinks, stunned, and Teo looks from Odin, to the turnbuckle, then back and Teo struggles to pull his weakened limbs on the top rope, perhaps looking for the Habanero High Dive. Before he can even set himself properly on the ropes, however, Odin stumbles to his knees and shoots into the ropes, shaking them enough to knock Teo off balance. Teo falls down and is crotched on the top turnbuckle. Odin slumps down to the mat. Teo's eyes shoot wide open as he holds his jewels. Odin then comes up under Teo, gripping his legs in position and rising to his full height, then taking Teo out of the corner with a jackknife powerbomb! Chris Avery: MARK OF ODIN!
Odin is too winded to capitalize at first, but Teo is out cold. A hush falls over the crowd, as they get a bad sense that they're seeing the end of a fairy tale run. Billy: This is it. This has to be it. Teo put up the best fight he could, but Odin is too damn strong. ONE!TWO!!THR--KICKOUT!!!
Odin sits up off of Teo, and he stares at the fallen champion like he has two heads for a moment. For that moment, he's almost made a believer of Odin, too. Teo has, as mentioned, fought for this, bled for this, finally getting to the World Title means everything to him. This all registers with Odin, but then his scowl turns really sullen, and he makes a "fuck this" motion, standing to his full height and palming Teo's head. Shouting choice words and hurling abuse, he lifts the battered body of Teo Blaze up, screams in his face for a moment, then catches his throat as he goes for an chokeslam backbreaker. But as he lifts Teo into the air, Teo pounds on the wrist of Odin with all of his might, with both fists, and drops down to the mat. Teo then kicks Odin in the knee, bringing him down, and thennnnn... TEO OBLITERATES ODIN WITH THE BLAZING KNEE! Chris Avery: BLAZING KNEE!! OUT OF NOWHERE!! Billy: Is this enough to end Odin's bid for the World Title?? ONE!TWO!!THR-- FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!
The crowd lets out an audible sigh of mixed relief and disappointment. Teo looks flabbergasted, and he holds three fingers up to the ref, but the ref motions that Odin reached the ropes. Teo, exhausted, can barely move, and neither does Odin, as both men are laid out, gasping for air. Chris Avery: I - I don't believe it! Who is going to be the one who walks away with the biggest prize on the first of April??
The crowd is cheering wildly, the atmosphere electric. Teo slowly staggers to his feet, looking around at the crowd, and then a look of absolute determination enters Teo's face as he paces over to the corner, setting himself up in position and his knee bouncing to beat the band. Alive with energy, feeding off the electricity to such a fervor that he's vibrating, Teo lets out a mighty YELL and barnstorms across the ring, just as Odin is getting to a knee... and Teo lets fly with a MIGHTY running, BLAZING KNEE!! ODIN FALLS LIKE A REDWOOD! Chris Avery: OHHH!! Billy: What a HELL of a Blazing Knee! I think that went through to the back of Odin's head!!
The pop that goes up as Teo mounts Odin and deeply hooks both legs with all that he has is earth-shaking. ONE!TWO!! THREE!!! DING DING DING

CLOSING TIME Ethan Miller: Here is your winner...... and STILLLLL ACTION WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... TEO BLAZE!!
"Kickstart My Heart" hits on the PA and Teo sits up, near tears at the grueling match, his second World Title defense, reassured that he didn't go back on his promises to be a fighting champion. The crowd is riotous, showering Teo with love as he makes his way to his feet, being handed the World Title belt. Chris Avery: TEO HAS DONE IT AGAIN!! TEO IS STILL WORLD CHAMPION!
Odin is just now starting to come to, sitting up in the ring, as Teo goes to the outside, holding the World Title belt and celebrating with the fans in the front row. Chris Avery: You can't take anything away from Odin Balfore, he fought a hell of a tournament to make his way here, and he gave everything he had to be World Champion. Billy: The rise of Teo as champion continues! Nobody, perhaps not even Teo Blaze, could have predicted this run, but what a story! What a World Champion!
There is a standing ovation here in Henderson, Nevada. Not a singe person in the building is seated, and they are cheering on their World Champion. His music dies down and he looks around, confused. The camera pans over to the stage, where Brady Bolt is standing with a microphone. Brady Bolt: Teo Blaaaaze! Congratulations on surviving yet another grueling World Championship match! You've already done something that many past champions have not done! Like all former champions, it's only a matter of time before someone has your number and takes that championship from you! That day could be... oh... April 28th!!!
He holds the mic down, looking out at the crowd with a smile. Chris Avery: What's he on about, Billy? Billy: I don't know, pal. Brady Bolt: Teo Blaze... a new foe has appeared!
He points up at the ActionTron. Teo Blaze holds the championship on his shoulder and he nods in approval at the announcement of his next championship defense.
The show goes off the air as he looks out at the fans.
