Women’s Championship Tournament for #1 contender shot against NBW Champion Vandalia at Blood Moon Rising
Bonnie Blue vs Ginger Red vs Lexi
Conway: Strong words from the boss, but looks like things are about to pick up here.
St. Remi: Business huh? Oh yeah, I can feel it now, my Bonnie Blue is about to beat down some buffys.
Conway: Or you can open eyes behind those shades.
St. Remi: All for the sake of fashion, my dear. And besides how can I focus on anything except for Bonnie’s lush assets?
Abbi Stein: All right, bums, get on your feet for the next one… from nowhere in particular… the badass… the blue baller of wrestling worldwide… Bonnie Blue!
Conway: You’re deplorable...
Charlie: I’ll second that, it’s easy to get lost in the New York subway stations...
St. Remi: Hey Charlie, get back in the attic. You’re weirding up the place.
Bonnie stretches against the ropes waiting for Abbi to get on with it, but she’s met with a middle finger which infuriates Ms. Blue.
Conway: If looks could kill. UCI fans know the name and expect a lot more from the former champion.
St. Remi: Are we going to live in the past all night? If so I think I’m still owed a date and a shot at a future divorce.
Conway: Oh you miss it too.
Charlie: I bet she’s ready to kick some ass after the layover. And fans are ready for more of the same from a proven fighter.
St. Remi: Yeah, but she’s plenty of competition. Don’t get cocky now, Chuck.
Bonnie calms herself from Abbi’s rude gesture as she leans against her corner, where she hands off her effects to the ecstatic face of Zander Hobbs. Everyone can tell he’s star struck. The stage lights burn red as "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" by Shania Twain plays through the PA system. Once the beat hits, the southern redhead, Ginger Red makes her way to the stage with a toothpick hanging out of her mouth, throwing up the horns.
Abbi Stein: Number 2 is gonna be a southern hottie… the one and only… Ginger Red!
She high fives the fans as she makes her way down the ramp. Once she gets to the ring, she runs up the stairs, and throws up the horns one more time for the crowd before jumping over the top rope into the ring.
Conway: Another great pick-up for New Blood Wrestling. Ginger Red was on the cusp of gaining a title in the old company. Now she’s looking to mark her turf with a title shot.
St. Remi: I always liked watching her perform.
Charlie: Oh yeah, major guns from shoulder—
Conway: Charles!
Charlie: I mean… Ginger Red is the embodiment of toughness. Don’t think she’s scared tonight. Even former greats like Bonnie Blue can’t rock this cool cat.
St. Remi: And… we lost them.
Charlie: Who?
St. Remi: Our TV audience.
Ginger Red takes the toothpick out of her mouth and stretches to prepare for the match. Bonnie Blue watches in the middle of her calisthenics. Both meet a contentious glare. “Beautiful Trauma” by P!NK begins to play over the PA system.
We were on fire
I slashed your tires
It's like we burned so bright we burned out
I made you chase me
I wasn't that friendly
My love, my drug, we're fucked up, oh
Lexi steps out from behind the black curtain as the Big Tron fires up and shows clips of her in wrestling action. She stands there at the top of the ramp in front of the Tron and looks around.
Abbi Stein: One more… and it’s a good one… a real rotten apple… How ‘bout this baddie with attitude – because here comes Lexi M to Fer’s!
Charlie: This could be trouble.
Conway: The good kind, right Remi?
Remi: If that’s your game, sure. That girl is Capital “T” trouble.
Conway: Really, she seems your type.
'Cause I've been on the run so long they can't find me
You waking up to remember I'm pretty
And when the chemicals leave my body
Yeah, they're gonna find me in a hotel lobby 'cause
Mmm tough times they keep coming
All night laughing and fucking
Some days like I'm barely breathing
And after we were high in the love, doped out.
Lexi holds up one arm and cameras flash and the screens of thousands of cell phones light up all around as she lowers her arm and nods determinedly, sending her pink, red and blue hair whipping around.
Charlie: Bonnie and Red have never met. Adding Lexi to this match only makes for fireworks. Pryde doesn’t pull any punches, does he?
Conway: See if you can concentrate for 10 secs.
Charlie: Trust me, there’s no else I rather look.
Lexi now walks down the ring pointing at the ring and then turning that point into a two finger gun that she aims at her head before giggling. She gets to the ring apron and walks around the entire thing before she slides in. She crawls across the ring, pulling her hair and leaning against the ropes.
St. Remi: She’s got this whole arena by the belt buckle.
Conway: I know there’s two right here. Hanging in there Chuck?
Charlie: Oh yeah…
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my drug, we're fucked up
She stands up, hops up on the second rope and holds up another arm and shouts "SEXY!" before hopping down and heading over to the corner. Zander hobbles to the center after tucking his shirt in. He hits a premature ring, catching all three by surprise. Despite recent weight loss, Hobbs tries to hide his larger frame in plain sight.
Lexi slides from behind him for a clothesline at an unsuspecting Ginger Red. It throws her down hard.
Charlie: Kaboom! And we’re off to a bang here folks. Lexi stomps at target like mudhole and wipes it dry. While it seems the more calculated in Bonnie Blue is waiting for these two to waste their energy.
St. Remi: Veterans know how to exploit the circumstance. Let the dogs fight then take control.
Conway: You make it sound pretty easy.
St. Remi: Ooh… that one is going to hurt. A rolling drop kick to the knee from Ginger Red leveling the playfield. Advantages come and go. Red made the best of that one.
Conway: Unorthodox sure, but used to perfection.
St. Remi: Hey, it works. Can’t beat that.
Bonnie Blue walks behind and hits a snap back suplex to Ginger Red. She then applies a standing armbar to Lexi.
Jumping around the canvas, Lexi kips up and delivers a quick chop back to Blue. She ten hits the ropes with Blue hunched down to her knees. At the pass, Blue reverse her momentum with a back body drop – right into the hands of Ginger Red.
Charlie: Oklahoma Phi Slamma Jamma!
St. Remi: That was Houston…
Charlie: But did you see that perfect catch and go!?
Conway: Yes, we saw it. Lexi was planted to the floor. Now Red and Blue in a staredown.
Charlie: Blue just flashed the longhorns for Ginger Red. And it’s off!
Both exchange stiff punches with a slight advantage going to the stouter thrower in Ginger Red. She throws three big haymakers, backing Blue into the corner. She then measures up a charging strike – Bonnie raise a boot to repel the attack. In return, Blue climbs onto the second rope.
Conway: Some risk here as she pins Red with a diving crossbody!
Charlie: Pinfall!
1!
2!
St. Remi: Not even close. Too early to try for something like that. Blue has a plan though.
Conway: Lexi to her knees now, grabbing the leg of Bonnie blue.
Charlie: Enzugiri! – No, she overshot! Lexi takes the leg and rolls into a spinning heel kick. Wasting no time in route for the apron. Both Red and Blue looking dazed but gaining to their feet! Oh boy – here she comes!
St. Remi: double whammy!
Conway: I cannot believe Lexi went for that move. Instead of hitting the diving attack, both Red and Blue hit dual shuffling kicks.
St. Remi: Lexi had two helping of leather and didn’t like it. Can’t blame her…
Bonnie Blue turns on her momentary partner with a hard elbow. Ginger Red returns her volley but misses wide. Blue goes low and hits snap northern lights suplex, then bridges it into an arm bar. Lexi using the ropes to stand as the struggle begins between Blue and Red.
Charlie: Who saw it transpiring this way? If Red can’t reach the break—
Conway: Just watch, Chuck. You might be surprised. Ginger and Lexi and just as resourceful as the former UCI champion.
St. Remi: One day we’ll be in a seat without UCI merch waving around. Kinda sad if you ask me.
Conway: Blue is losing her grip with Ginger Red sliding across the floor. Leverage forces the hold at an awkward angle, forcing Blue to break free. Both roll over without facing their other enemy, currently supported by the ropes alone, crouches to a silent position.
St. Remi: That’s the challenge to a three-way – or more way – is how many eye are on you. You have strike everyone down and do it with conviction. Otherwise, you’re in trouble.
Charlie: And here comes trouble!
Lexi attacking both with erratic punches. Some hit while others make her opponents back towards the center. She hits the middle and rebounds with a soaring topé striking each down. Lexi then struts the ring with her best pose, voguing the hell out of the limelight. Bonnie blue grabs her by the ankle but gets kicked off. Lexi fends her off further with a soccer kick to the ribs and second one, with a much longer stride that time through. Blue writhes on her side with Lexi hunched near both competitors. Her victories are slight as she too looks worse for wear.
Conway: This has gone downhill and fast. Ginger Red grabs the ropes for support.
Charlie: Lexi pounces – did she just bite Red’s hands?
St. Remi: I like her even more now…
Conway: I thought you might. Either way, Zander Hobbs has no control of this bout. He would rather hide in a corner with his face tucked behind his neckbeard.
St. Remi: Come on, it’s a decent goatee.
Conway: Says the baby face. Bonnie Blue back to her feet – and hits a Russian legsweep on Lexi. Now she’s throwing punches.
Charlie: Oh no, I think someone’s bleeding. There’s droplets everywhere. Oh wait, is it Lexi’s lips?
Conway: I think it was from that nasty bite she deliver to Ginger Red, who still looks frazzled by those cheap tactics.
St. Remi: She went Gollum on her and has the marks to prove it. Ow…
Ginger Red throws Bonnie off and lands a huge elbow across the neck of Lexi whom was still tacked to the canvas. Violence intensifies with return shots from a downed opponent. All three eventually work from the ground to a mess of stiff striking.
St. Remi: Damn, those girls aren’t backing down.
Charlie: Ginger Red has the side clutch, but Blue breaks free. Lexi on the move… and she’s met at that turn with the kitchen sink. A knee right to the gut. Bonnie blue stands back as the ferocity of Ginger Red is off the charts right now.
Conway: A veteran move probably?
St. Remi: More or less. I’d call it being smart, not wise.
Charlie: Red wedges her in the southeast turnbuckle with multiple elbows. Backing up for something huge… get ready kids – this won’t be for the faint of heart!
Conway: Ooh doggy! Red just delivered a huge boot to Lexi. And she’s out of it!
St. Remi: Moose Knuckle… reminds of something the kiddies can’t hear. Get out, kids!
After the kick, Lexi stumbles for as if to ask a question before falling to piece before them. She lies there prone seeing whole constellations. She then charges right for Bonnie Bluee…
Charlie: Blue reverses into an octopus stretch!
St. Remi: And for the first time tonight, Zander Hobbs is getting close to the action.
Conway: Surprised it took that long.
St. Remi: Hey now…. Zander is my dude. Besides, he’s got a girlfriend. She’s in another country.
Ginger Red fighting, thrashing about in a desperate attempt to get free. Lexi is barely aware of her surroundings as the octopus stretch stops cold about five or six feet from the ropes. Fans blare their names as dueling chants echo throughout the building.
Charlie: Can she ever hope to break free!
Conway: What’s she doing up there? She’s ludicrous!
St. Remi: No… she’s ready for a showstopper. Here it comes, Charlie!
Charlie: Lexi makes a godless plunge from the abyss… Swanton stunner – double edition!
St. Remi: Not what I expected at all. Very impressive!
Conway: For anyone wondering about the degree of difficulty of that move—
St. Remi: A perfect 10!
Conway: Bringing both opponents to the floor on a desperation stunner. But it took her past the limit, leaving mutually assured destruction from corner to corner. Red, Blue purple and black… name it and there’s a color in wear.
Charlie: Hey guys… Lexi is wearing RED and BLUE!
St. Remi: Stop the presses! That shit just blew my mind.
Conway: Will anybody get up? Zander Hobbs making the reluctant call amidst heavy boos.
1… 2… 3… 4… 5…
Movement between Blue and Red, but Lexi is gassed and walking on nothing. She hits the ground again, leaving the others in Rocky 2 moment vying for control of the ring.
6… 7… 8…
Conway: Hobbs forgoes the count with Blue and Red swinging heavy strikes. Lexi has since rolled outside into the unknown. Who knows if she’ll even try to get back into this battle?
Charlie: Elbows raining hard and heavy! Blue is rocked – leaning back on one foot. Red surges through with a leaping superman punch – an elbow from the gosh-darn sky! Reversal by Blue - hitting a devestating Codebreaker!
St. Remi: But she doesn't have enough to lock in the Timestopper...
Fans erupt as the lights go dark. Several seconds go by before they return. The house comes down as a new person stands in the ring, and Zander Hobbs is nowhere to be seen. Without a ref, it seems current NBW champion Vadalia has taken the ring for herself. Bonnie Blue looks up confused at who has interrupted their match. Lexi and Ginger Red remain on the floor. Vadalia points to Blue and does a thumbs down holding onto her Women’s title.
Vandalia: No bueno, chica.
Vandalia lands a leaping shining wizard that takes Bonnie back to mat and Vandalia begins to parade around the ring showing her title off to the fans.
St. Remi: I may have to go check on my lady.
Conway: She’ll be fine, I’m sure it was a just wake up call sent from Pryde.
