Carnival of Carnage vs. Pineapple Promenade
Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first, weighing in at 386 lbs... the debuting team of Rist Kutta and Kill Ya Homie... CARNIVAL OF CARNAGE!!The opening notes to ICP "What Is A Juggalo" begins to play. As the intro of the song plays throughout the speakers in the arena the lights pulse to the bass of the song, then as we hear Violent J say "Shut ya ass up and let the juggla sing", Kill Ya Homie and Rist Kutta burst out from the curtains, bottle of Faygo in each hand. They make their way out to the ring, K.Y.H gets on the apron and throws the bottle out to the Juggalos in the crowd as Rist Kutta gets on the second rope and does the same. Kill Ya Homie then gets in the ring and both of them go to their corner, waiting for the match to begin.
Jimmy Garcia: A HUGE matchup we have here to open Cruiserclash, as the CW Tag division is starting to heat up!JJ Biggs: These two dudes, somehow know the new Television champion, Twiztid Insane, I guess, and if he vouches for them, that's all I need to know!Jimmy Garcia: They're a family, JJ, WHOOP WHOOP!JJ Biggs: ...What?Adilene Floyd: And their opponents... weighing in at 265 lbs... they are the former AW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions... the team of Nidrah and Azurine Vebbins... PINEAPPLE PROMENADE!!As "Radio Gaga" by Queen prominently plays throughout the arena, Azurine and Nidrah pirouette onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as Azurine begins to descend down the ramp like an automaton practicing aerobics. The two teammates perform various other dance steps while making their way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, Nidrah and Azzy wave, high-five and hugs some of the fans. Upon entering the eastern ring apron, the fashionable duo glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction.
Jimmy Garcia: Another big match here for Pineapple Promenade, who are looking to get back in the CW Tag Title picture.JJ Biggs: These two had their big moment when Azurine won the CW Tag Titles, on International Women's Day, but it was heart-breakingly brief.The two stars approach each other cautiously and engage in a collar-to-elbow tie-up.
KYH wastes no time in countering with a headscissors, which in turn is broken when Azurine kips up to her feet.
The bell rings and Kutta and Azurine go to start things off. Azurine shoots forward under Kutta's outstretched arms and twists his arm into an armwringer. He reverses, twisting her injured arm. Azurine shouts in pain as Kutta yanks her around, and then she performs a cartwheel to relieve some pressure. She switches around behind Kutta, and applies a hammerlock, but he quickly knocks her off. He takes her down with an arm drag. He starts to apply the arm bar, but Azurine rakes his eyes. A furious Azurine begins driving elbow shots into the flustered Kutta, as she backs him up to the ropes. She begins kicking him and elbowing him harder. The referee tells Azurine to let him out of the ropes. Azurine and the ref argue, and then Azurine boots Kutta in the gut. She jumps on his back and applies a sleeper hold, thrashing around and shouting as she sinks it in.
Jimmy Garcia: Azurine is showing a much more aggressive side tonight than usual.JJ Biggs: She's like a good girl that just can't help being bad. Go on, Azurine, be bad, I won't tell.The sleeper hold does not last long, as Homie reaches over and slams her over his shoulder. Azzy holds her back and rolls to a crouched position, as KYH shakes his head. Azurine rushes back at her opponent, only to have her momentum used against her as now it's KYH who whips her over in a side headlock. Azurine rolls out of it and clamps down a headscissors counter and KYH, standing up still in the headscissors, comes across her body into a bridging pin.
Jimmy Garcia: Impressive counter-wrestling from the Carnival member early on!JJ Biggs: You gotta figure there's a reason these two signed up for Cruiserclash, the most high-octane, athletic competition in AW.The referee: One...
Azurine bridges out of the pin, arms wrapped around KYH's waist from below, and standing up together, she spins out, hooking her arms under her opponent's. She keeps spinning, then drops to her knees to bring the Homie's shoulders to the mat with a backslide.
The referee: One... Kickout.
Jimmy Garcia: Azurine is playing on another level!KYH kicks out, flipping back to his knees, but Azurine meets him with a pair of forearm shots as he's getting to his feet, then whips him into the ropes. KYH comes off at full speed, ducking a clothesline, hits the opposite side, comes back, and catches Azurine with a clothesline..
Jimmy Garcia: KYH looking to pick up the pace a little.JJ Biggs: What's the hurry? Actually, now that I think about it, he's probably that asshole that was tailgating me earlier.Kutta throws Azurine over his shoulder. She holds her backside in pain. KYH waits for Azurine to get up before he takes her down with a neckbreaker. KYH tries to get some air back into his lungs. He snarls at Azurine and begins booting her. He lifts her up, clubbing her over the back. He then holds her arm straight out and then falls back into an armbreaker. Azurine contorts around, holding her injured arm, and KYH takes the time to apply a Fujiwara armbar, pulling back on the injured limb. KYH yells for her to submit, and the ref asks Azurine if she gives up, but Azurine shouts "No!" Nidrah is frantically trying to will her partner on.
Azurine tries to push herself up, but KYH is using all of his weight advantage over her. KYH tightens his grip. Azurine begins elbowing him in the side of the head with her free arm, and finally KYH lets go. KYH shakes the cobwebs out of his head. Azurine is trying to get some feeling back into her arm. KYH lifts Azurine up and plants her with a snap suplex. KYH lifts Azurine up, but she violently rakes his eyes. She boots him in the gut and then she unloads on him with a flurry of elbow shots. She tags in Nidrah, boots KYH in the gut, and they double suplex him. Nidrah gets a running start and then hits a rolling thunder senton across his chest. She goes for the pin.
Jimmy Garcia: Beautiful move by Nidrah!JJ Biggs: Everything she does it beautiful, she's like an Instagram baddie that poses everything for likes.Nidrah lifts KYH up, but he uses his strength to hot shot her onto the top rope. Nidrah falls back, holding her throat. KYH boots her for a moment. He goes to pick her up, but she slides in between his legs. Before he can turn around, she jumps up and dropkicks him in the back, sending him sailing forward into the turnbuckle. KYH hits chest first and stumbles out, holding his chest. He turns right into a step-up enziguri from Nidrah. KYH wobbles for a second, then falls. Nidrah tags in Azurine, and the girls simultaneously give KYH a doubleteam jumping knee facebuster, both of them drop down to their backs, pulling their knees up into KYH's jaw.
Jimmy Garcia: Okayyy teamwork!!Homie is rocked, stumbles off the ropes on spaghetti legs. Rist Kutta is banging on the turnbuckle, yelling for his partner to clear his head. Azurine leaps up and sends KYH flying backwards with a monkey flip. KYH flips through, landing on his feet. Both wheel around and, catching sight of one another, attempt simultaneous dropkicks, feet colliding with feet. Jumping up, they both raise their fists at each other in a standstill, while the crowd applauds the exchange.
Then, KYH tags in Rist Kutta. Kutta cracks his neck to the side, and Azurine lets it happen, motioning for him to come on. Azurine unloads with some elbow shots to the face, but the reality is, Rist Kutta is the biggest man in the match by far, and he eats those shots with an angry look on his painted face before dropping Azurine with a european uppercut. Nidrah reaches out for the tag, but Azurine waves her off, getting to her feet slowly, brushing off her ass.
She approaches Kutta again, more tentatively this time. As she gets close, Kutta reaches out for the tie-up, but Azurine ducks under his arms, quickly moving behind and grabbing a waistlock. Azurine struggles with the waistlock, trying to push Kutta forward, then pull him back, but she barely manages to move him. Kutta raises his arms in the air, in a show of non-resistance. Then he begins to deliberately push Azurine back toward the corner, looking to sandwich her in, but the Pineprom member releases the waistlock and somersaults out before she becomes trapped. Kutta beckons her in and Azurine obliges again, this time running in with a flying knee. Kutta absorbs the blow and shoves her off hard, sending her somersaulting backwards. As she rolls to her feet, Kutta turns her inside-out with a running clothesline.
Jimmy Garcia: Azurine's dialect is already... unique, but she may need her jaw wired shut after that lariat from Kutta! Wow!Azurine slumps over the bottom rope, face twisted with pain as she cradles her jaw. Kutta picks her up and whips her into the ropes, but she manages to slide through the Juggalos's legs and run up the ropes in the corner. Azurine corkscrews off the top, looking for a hurricanrana, but Kutta catches her in powerbomb position.
Jimmy Garcia: I think Azurine's bitten off a bit more than she can chew here.JJ Biggs: Wait, wait, give her a chance. Look at those punches.Azurine frantically fires off a machine gun flurry of shots to Kutta's head, doing anything she can to escape the powerbomb. She manages to scoot around, still punching, looking for a victory roll, but Kutta again has no problem blocking it. Lifting Azurine off his shoulders, he drops her gut first across his knee with a modified electric chair drop. Double over on the mat, clutching her stomach, Azurine is finally persuaded to hand over the reins of the match to her partner. Making a weak tag, she rolls under the bottom rope to the outside, while Nidrah leaps in over the top.
Kutta stands across the ring, looking unconcerned at the change in opponents. Nidrah rushes the brawler, laying into with a series of big right hands, and Kutta responds in kind. The two fire back and forth, beating the living hell out of one another. Size and gravity are on Kutta's side, though, and gradually Nidrah' punches slow and finally stop. Three unanswered shots send her slumping down to the mat, and a big knee lift drops her the rest of the way.
Kutta leans over, looking to pull his opponent to her feet, but his head jerks back as Nidrah surprises him with an uppercut. The Bird of Prey explodes to her feet, landing three quick strikes in succession to the midsection of the big man, followed by a hard kick to the side of the leg that nearly buckles the bigger man. Nidrah leaps and scores with a Superman punch, staggering the giant, before moving around behind him, looking to lift him off the mat with a belly to back suplex.
Jimmy Garcia: Can Nidrah succeed where her partner failed?Her luck is no better than her partner's, though, as Kutta's fires back with a pair of elbows that send Nidrah reeling. Nidrah shakes it off, though, hitting the ropes and coming back a with a running leap...only for Kutta to bury her in the mat with a sidewalk slam. Kutta crouches over her, landing big, measured punches to the side of Nidrah' head. But the BoP strikes like a snake, twisting her body, grabbing Kutta's wrist, and sinking in a deep armbar, all in a single fluid motion performed in a second.
JJ Biggs: Oh snaps, that was fast!Jimmy Garcia: Nidrah with an armbar from out of nowhere! Kutta is in trouble!Kutta moves to the side, fighting the complete extension of the hold. The two barely move, but both wear expressions of deep concentration, battling fiercely for control. Kutta's eyes narrow, sweat visible on his face, as he stands in a low crouch. Suddenly he lets out a roar, grabbing his wrist with his free hand and slowly beginning to stand, pulling Nidrah up with him. He lifts her off the ground, higher and higher, using raw strength to dead lift her off the canvas. Kutta then drops to his knees, slamming her back to the mat with a powerbomb.
Jimmy Garcia: He can't shake her! She's still got it sunk in! Incredible tenacity being shown by Nidrah. Like a pitbull with its jaws sunk in.The crowd is in shock to see that Nidrah is still holding on to the armbar. Kutta can't seem to believe it either. Eyes widening, he again stands, lifting Nidrah up with raw power again. Up, up, up...and then he dives across the ring, dropping her with a powerbomb more vicious than the first. It does the trick, knocking Nidrah off and very possibly out.
Kutta shakes out his arm as he gets to his feet, advancing cautiously on the downed Nidrah. All of a sudden, Azurine dives off the top rope with a double axhandle to the back of Kutta's head. He staggers forward, and he holds on to the ropes. Azurine comes forward, but Kutta backdrops her over the ropes, sending her crashing to the floor! Kutta turns... and then Nidrah' arm shoots up, connecting slightly above the equator on Kutta. Kutta doubles over, turning away from Azurine on the outside, and then Nidrah delivers a knee, drilling him in the midsection.
JJ Biggs: Pineprom are doing what they can to break the bigger man down!Nidrah stands behind the grimacing Kutta, who is in no condition to offer resistance this time, and with a show of agility the flies in and drills him on the back of his head with a knee. Now, Nidrah spots her partner pulling herself up, albeit a bit dazed, and Nidrah tags her. Azurine lifts Kutta up, clubbing him over the back. He gives her a hard elbow to the gut, and then a jawbreaker.
Kutta grips Azurine's arm and irish whips her to the ropes, but then at the last second she drops down, pushing herself up using her arm strength and catching a charging Kutta with her legs around his head. She takes him down with a quick hurricanrana, flinging him forward into the middle turnbuckle. Kutta gets up, holding his mouth, and Azurine takes him down with an Osaka street cutter.
She measures for Kutta to get up, and then as he does she goes for a leg drop bulldog, but Kutta pulls his head out of the way. Azurine lands on the mat, and when she turns around Kutta knees her in the gut and gives her a pendulum backbreaker. Then, Kutta lifts Azurine up and destroys her with a ripcord discus lariat! Kutta stumbles backwards, and he tags in Kill Ya Homie. The two men lift Azurine up and destroy her with an aided powerbomb/neckbreaker. Kutta retreats to his corner, as KYH goes for the cover.
The referee: One...
Two...
Thre- Kickout.
KYH runs and drops a leg across her throat. He lets a WHOOP WHOOP out to the crowd, and the members of the Juggalo family in attendance give it back to him. He spots Azurine is trying to crawl to her corner. KYH jumps in and axehandles her over the back. He pulls Azurine back out into the middle of the ring and he applies a camel clutch with an arm trapped.
Azurine yells and shouts in pain. Kutta is telling KYH to keep the pressure on. Nidrah is trying to get the crowd behind Azurine. Finally, Azurine is able to reach out with her free hand and grab the bottom rope. The referee tells KYH release the hold, starting to count for disqualification. KYH lifts Azurine up and plants her with a spinebuster. He goes for a cover.
The referee: One...
Two...
Thre- Kickout.
Jimmy Garcia: Both of these men have done an amazing job hanging with the former CW Tag Team Champions, no small feat.JJ Biggs: They've successfully isolated Azurine from her partner!KYH applies a Boston crab on Azurine. Azurine yells in pain as he wrenches the hold. The referee asks if Azurine gives up. Azurine shouts "No!" She struggles, but he won't let her go anywhere. Azurine begins to fade, but then, a surge of adrenaline comes through, and she screams out in effort as her hand shoots forward, grabbing the ropes. Nidrah comes in to make the save with a low dropkick to the temple of KYH. He falls back to the mat.
Azurine is trying to get to her feet, taking big lungfuls of air from being bent into such a shape. KYH shakes the cobwebs out of his head, and he spots Nidrah. He runs at her, but she drops off the apron. KYH points and shouts at her for a moment. Kutta tells KYH to watch Azurine. KYH turns and he sees Azurine trying to crawl away and he gives her an axehandle over the back.
He lifts her up and plants her with a Tiger driver. KYH goes to the top rope, and motions to his homies in the crowd, taunting Azurine as she's down. He goes for a splash, but Azurine rolls out of the way. KYH rolls around on the mat, and he immediately scoots over and tags in Kutta. Kutta shoots into the ring and grabs Azurine's foot, pulling her away from the tag with Nidrah. Kutta applies a bridging deathlock.
Azurine shouts in pain as she is twisted around. Kutta wrenches the hold for a moment, but Azurine refuses to tap out. Finally, Kutta releases the hold. He boots Azurine for a moment, and then he tags in KYH, giving him instructions. KYH gives Azurine a backbreaker and stretches her across his knee and then Kutta climbs to the top rope and gives her a leg drop at the same time. A wounded Azurine falls back to the mat. KYH goes for a pin.
Jimmy Garcia: Pineprom are in trouble!The referee: One...
Two...
Thre - Nidrah boots KYH in the head!
The referee makes Nidrah get back in her corner as she protests and yells choice words at him. Azurine blinks and shakes the cobwebs out, and KYH is holding his head. Finally, Azzy is able to recover enough, that she slowly gets to her feet, using the ropes. Pulling the big man to his feet, Azurine makes the tag to Nidrah, who hooks the big man in an abdominal stretch of sorts. Azurine bounces off the far rope, coming back to connect with a high velocity dropkick to KYH's unprotected face.
Jimmy Garcia: Brutal offense being displayed by Pineprom here.Nidrah follows up with a quick three quarters facelock diving cutter a second later, then runs toward the ropes, flying back with a springboard moonsault across Kutta's back. She rolls the Juggalo over, hooking the leg for the pin.
The referee: One...
Two...
Three - Kickout!
Jimmy Garcia: Carnival of Carnage are showing a HELL of a lot of fire tonight, in offense and defense!JJ Biggs: I think I'm seeing why Twiztid is so high on these dudes, they're legit!Nidrah leaps up to the sit on the top rope, waiting for KYH to get to his feet. Once KYH gets to his hands and knees, Nidrah flies off, dropping a second rope rocker dropper down on the back of his head.
Pulling KYH up, Nidrah grabs a front facelock, then somersaults up on Kutta's shoulders, lifting her body until she's completely vertical, legs pointed toward the roof. KYH reaches his hands up, grabbing Azurine's body and preventing her from swooping back down to land the big DDT. He holds her there in vertical suplex position and then...a short run...and he throws Nidrah across the ring. The crowd goes fucking nuts. KYH runs across the ring, taking Azurine off the apron with a big boot, then makes the tag. Both CoC members enter the ring. Grabbing Nidrah, Kutta jerks her up and slams her with a powerbomb, and Nidrah hits hard. Nidrah, gasping, rolls onto her knees as she is released and KYH comes in, finishing the sequence with a shining wizard.
Jimmy Garcia: They call that HOKUS POKUS!!JJ Biggs: And what a move! Nidrah just got DROPPED!Kutta makes the pin.
The referee: One....
Two...
Thre.....
Jimmy Garcia: No! Azurine with the save!JJ Biggs: And luckily, too. There was no way Nidrah was kicking out of that!Azurine lands a diving forearm to break up the pin. She fires off two more forearm shots before KYH pulls her off. The two struggle briefly before the referee gets in between the two of them, ordering them to their respective corners. They're none too eager to listen, but when he starts his count, they both comply reluctantly. Meanwhile, Kutta has dragged a limp Nidrah to her feet, where he sets her up for a big measured European uppercut. Whipping her into the corner, he comes in with a running discus forearm, followed by another uppercut that nearly knocks the Pineprom member's head off. When Nidrah staggers out of the corner, KYH springs off the second rope and blasts her in the back of the head with a dropkick. He immediately follows up with a somersault leg drop to the back of the downed Nidrah's neck. He rolls her over for the pin.
The referee: One...

Kutta tags KYH back in. Kutta gives Nidrah a fist drop. His partner lifts her up and KYH and Kutta double suplex her. KYH then walks over to the turnbuckle and flies off, hitting a Tilt-A-Whirl 450 splash. He grins triumphantly, and the referee counts.

KYH lifts Nidrah up, and he clubs her over the back. He whips her into the corner, and he comes charging in for a splash, but she ducks to the outside apron from between the ropes.
