(8/9/21) Monday Night Clash

RICH GREEDY feat. Peso Peso's Ese Talk hits and a engine noise is heard when a brand new Tesla Series X drives up next to the stage and Diego Tesoro hops out of the drivers seat and poses next to the car. The crowd boos as Diego jogs around the front of the car and hops onto the stage and stands at the top directly under a shower of pyro from above him and he points to his smiling face.

Adilene Floyd: Introducing from Mexico City, Mexico, the wealthiest Mexican superstar in Action Wrestling! Diego Tesoooorrooo!!

Diego fists pumps and makes his way down the ramp smiling and talking trash to all the disgusting fans in the rows around him. He gets to the bottom of the ramp and makes his way up the steps to the apron and looks back out at the crowd who continue to all boo him. He dips through the ropes and spins in a half circle and jumps to the middle turnbuckles and points back at his face with a huge smile. The crowd loves to boo him again as he makes fun of them for not having as much money as he has. He hops down off the turnbuckles and is ready to wrestle.

Chris Avery: Diego Tesoro is the first alumni of The Search Season One who has made his way to the official roster! And tonight, in his official debut, he intends to cool the heat that’s been generated from the arrival of England’s hyped prospect, Kat Hastings!

Billy: I love summers in Action Wrestling, Chris! This is the time of the year where we see fresh faces come into the fold and really start to climb the ladder! Not all of them will make it, we’ve seen that story time and time again… but the ones that do??

Chris Avery: The success stories you see in Action Wrestling start on a night like this, with the fans soaking in what you have to offer.

Billy: And now’s not the time to be safe. You’ve gotta bring everything you’ve got to make that lasting first impression!

The vocal beginning of "Kiss With A Fist" by Florence + The Machine starts to play over the PA system. The crowd turns to the stage with excitement as a dozen closed red roses appear on the ActionTron. One after another, the rose heads begin to open up until the final larger flower in the centre of the screen finally spreads its petals, revealing…

"𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄"
𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒

The crowd cheers and begins to clap along to the beat of the drum as Katherine Hastings runs out onto the stage, being met with a massive ovation. She greets them all with a radiant smile, acknowledging the crowd's reaction before stopping at the top of the ramp, posing with both her arms out wide, her palms facing upwards. After closing both hands and relaxing her arms back down to her side, she proceeds to march confidently towards the ring.

Adilene Floyd: Originating from the City of Westminster, London, England... weighing in at 132 pounds... she is THE ENGLISH ROSE!!... give it up for... KATHERINE HASTINGS!!!

The crowd's cheers pick up momentum once more following her ring introduction. Katherine high-fives multiple fans as she approaches the ring apron closest to the hard camera. She climbs up, standing on the apron as she poses for the crowd once again. Katherine sidesteps to her right, wiping both feet on the mat before finally bending over to enter into the ring, signing the cross as she passes through the ropes.

Once inside the ring, she bounces around on the spot for a few moments until she finally retreats back into the corner. Katherine removes her entrance attire and inserts a mouth guard, commencing her final preparations ready for the match ahead.

Chris Avery: And look at that, the fans already love her! This was a debut done right, Billy… people need to take note!

Billy: She was active on Twitter, giving us a glimpse into her training, her preparation. And her arrival was hyped on the AW Network and on live events. And finally, she’s here!

Chris Avery: Diego Tesoro isn’t about all that extra flair, he’s just here for business. It’s a clash of styles and of personalities… and it’s NEXT!

As the bell rings, the two circle around each other, but Diego grabs Hastings first and begins throwing knees up into her chest and forearms into the side of his head! This aggressiveness quiets the crowd and surprises Kat Hastings. He throws her into the corner, and he runs in with a knee to the stomach! Kat doubles over holding her stomach and Diego starts to pound down with elbows into the back and the back of her neck, before he snapmares Hastings to a sitting positions and hits a HARD kick across the spine! Kat arches her back in pain, and Diego runs off the ropes in front of her and hits a floatover neckbreaker.

Chris Avery: Diego coming in hot!

Billy: Very aggressive… Kat Hastings needs to get her head in the game, quick!

Diego pulls Hastings up and rocks her with a European uppercut, but Kat comes back with a roundhouse kick to the gut! She hits a right jab to keep Diego off guard, before she turns to run off the ropes and back with a flying crossbody! Diego catches her in mid air, and taunts with her in his arms, but she frees herself with an uncharacteristic eye rake. Kat hits a leg sweep, and she runs off the ropes and over Diego. The Search competitor gets up and he ducks his head. Kat jumps over for a sunset flip, but Diego rolls through and hits a hard kick into the face! He hesitates for a moment, but jumps up and lands with a falling senton!

Kat kicks out!

Diego pulls her up, and hooks her up for a suplex. He picks Kat Hastings up into the air, and he drops her stomach first across the top rope. He runs off the ropes and hits a running knee lift up into the chest, and Kat flops down onto the mat. Tesoro begins to stomp away at her, before he pulls her off the mat. He grabs a headlock to pull her out of the corner, and he tries a basic body slam, BUT Kat ROLLS THROUGH WITH A CRADLE!

1...

2...

3--- NO! Diego JUST KICKS OUT!

Chris Avery: That might be the momentum shift! Kat Hastings nearly caught him sleeping!

Both debuters get up, and Diego practically dives into a clothesline to drop Kat to the mat. He shakes his head, and stands up before stomping Kat in the chest with several measured shots. He waits for her to sit up and hits a chop to the back of the neck! He hits one to the back too, and knocks Hastings down with a kick to the chest. He runs off the ropes and hits a flipping senton to Hastings!

Chris Avery: This match has been all Diego so far!

Billy: He just seems angry, doesn’t he??

He gets ups to his feet, and he waits for Hastings to get off of the mat. She starts to stand, and Diego then runs and backs Kat into the corner. He pounds away on her stomach with right and left handed punches, and then a palm strike to the chin. He pulls and shoves Kat out of the corner, and hops over the top rope to the apron. Diego climbs up to the middle turnbuckle... BUT KAT RUSHES IN AND LIFTS HIS FEET UP TO SEND DIEGO TOPPLING OVER BACKWARDS TO THE FLOOR!

SHE RUNS TO THE CORNER…

SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW ALL THE WAY TO THE OUTSIDE!

Billy: SHITFIRE!

Chris Avery: That was flawless!

Kat Hastings now has the crowd behind her as they shake the roof off the arena. She rolls Diego back into the ring and climbs the apron, taking a moment to soak in the fan reaction. Diego Tesoro sees the opening and he catches Kat Hastings coming into the ring with a back elbow into the jaw that sends Kat snapping down. She rolls around holding her face, and Diego runs to hit another rough kick to the back. Kat rolls around, and Diego grabs her by the hair before he pulls her off the mat. He hits several forearms to the jaw, and throws her into the corner. He hits a hard chop to the chest, but Kat rights back with a forearm! Diego throws another chop, and Kat fires back with a series of forearms. She climbs to the middle rope again, and when Diego tries to tip her, she kicks him in the face! Diego is sent rolling backwards and when he gets up, Kat jumps off with a flying wheel kick!

The cover!

1…

3-- No! Diego kicks out! Kat pulls him up, and she runs off the ropes. She rolls under a clothesline attempt, and catches Diego running at him with a hurricanrana! Diego rolls to his feet, and Kat Hastings runs off the ropes. Diego ducks under a forearm, catches a Hastings gut kick, and spins her around. He’s tries a powerful lariat, but Kat ducks underneath that one! And out of nowhere…

Chris Avery: KISS FROM A ROSE!

Billy: That spin kick might have chipped his teeth!

Kat makes the cover!

1...

2...

3--- No! Diego kicks out!

Chris Avery: Even if Diego has been the aggressor most of the match, that’s THREE near-falls already for Kat Hastings!

Billy: But the kid won’t quit! Neither of them will!

Kat starts to tug on her hair in frustration. She pulls him off the mat, and double-hooks him up, looking for her Battle of Hastings finisher! But Diego rolls out of it, before hitting a snap suplex. He floats over immediately, and pulls Kat up to her feet. He lifts her onto the top rope, and he climbs up before signaling for a killing blow. He climbs up to the very top, and he pulls Kat up to stand with him. SUPERPLEX - NO!

KAT FIGHTS BACK WITH FOREARMS, AND DIEGO LANDS ON HIS BACK… RIGHT IN POSITION!

KAT PUSHES HERSELF TO HER FEET!

SHE SIGNALS TO THE CROWD!

CORKSCREW 450 SPLASH!

Chris Avery: THE LEAP OF FAITH! THIS HAS TO BE IT!

Billy: GOOD GOD THAT WAS PERFECT!

ONE!!

TWO!!

THREE!!

DING DING DING

Chris Avery: What a win in her debut!!

Billy: Amazing win! Katherine Hastings is victorious!

Her hand is raised in victory as we take a commercial break.

The lights fade to dark and the lights begin to strobe as Young MA's Henny'd Up hits for about 10 seconds. During this ten seconds the smoke fills the stage and then the beat drops and the verse begins! As Young MA raps over the loudspeakers, Clarence Hendricks comes walking out raising his hands up to a small chorus of cheers. The lights come back on when the beat drops and comes in a bit harder with the hook. Clarence walks down the ramp mouthing some of the words to the song and getting the crowd hype. He gets to the bottom of the ramp and just runs the rest of the way sliding under the ropes into the ring..

Adilene Floyd: Fighting out of Las Vegas, Nevada, the Henny Boy... CLARENCE HENDRICKSSSSSS!!

Clarence gets up and spins in a circle hopping up and down on one leg and then blasts to the ropes where he poses again in front of the hard camera! Pyro blasts off the two back ring posts as the music continues. Finally the music fades as Hendricks gets into his corner.

Billy: Hendricks said he wants to get back on track! Well, a win here tonight can do just that!

Chris Avery: I've trained him well, but it's all I can do! The rest of his career is on him now!

he hook to Jesus Walks by Kanye West hits and the lights dim as a spotlight hits the curtain where Roman Gunn slowly walks through and raises his head to the sold out crowd. They all begin to boo as he stands perfectly still at the top of the ramp and stares out at the disgusting people below him.

Adilene Floyd: From Miami, Florida.. he's ROMAN! GUNN!

Roman walks down the ramp looking to his left as everyone continues booing him but then he looks to the right and it's much of the same story. He turns towards the steel steps and gets onto the apron but before entering the ring he sets his foot back down on the apron and stares back out at the crowd. They just flip him off and continue booing.

He finally steps through the ropes and walks over to the far corner and puts both hands on the top turnbuckle tapping it twice and then pulling himself up to the middle turnbuckle rope and slowly raising his arms into the air. The crowd boos as Roman begins to trash talk the crowd back. He finally steps off the middle turnbuckle ropes and the lights go back to normal as the music slowly fades.

Chris Avery: What an entrance!

Billy: Yeah, big entrance, but can he win big too?!

DING DING DING

Hendricks and Roman meet in the middle with a tie up but Hendricks gets the upperhand and grabs a headlock. Roman shoves him to the ropes where Roman hits a shoulder tackle taking Hendricks down! Hendricks rolls to the corner as Roman stands in the middle of the ring intimidating as fuck.

Hendricks gets to his feet and the two tie up once more and Hendricks grabs him in an arm wrist lock and Roman can't get out of it and Hendricks takes him to the corner. Hendricks turns him around and whips him to the opposite corner where Roman bursts out of it upon contact and hits a lariat sending Hendricks down!!

Billy: What a shot!

Chris Avery: Holy moly!

Hendricks crawls over to the ropes sticking his head out the bottom rope trying to create some separation but Roman is on the outside of the ring, running around the ring post and jumps to the apron on his back hitting a shotgun dropkick to the side of Hendricks head!

Billy: OH WOW!

Chris Avery: THE BOOTS TO HENDRICKS HEAD!

Hendricks crawls around in the ring now, trying to get to his feet, and Roman is back in the ring and grabs Hendricks and just picks him up hitting a backbreaker in the middle of the ring! Roman pins him.

One!

Two!

Kick out!

Billy: Hendricks kicked out!

Roman grabs him by the hair and lifts him up and just hits a very basic suplex! Roman gets back to his feet and backs himself into the corner. Hendricks is slowly stirring to his feet in the opposite corner and he finally stands up. He walks out of the corner, turns around and ROMAN HITS A SPEAR!!

Billy: DEADLY!!

Chris Avery: WOW WHAT A SPEAR!!

Roman stands up and ROARS to life as the crowd boos. He grabs Hendricks and flips him into the air and hits a sitout powerbomb!

Billy: THE DECIDER!

Roman keeps the legs hooked for a pin!

One!

Two!

Three!

DING DING DING

Billy: Shitfire, WHAT a debut! Roman Gunn is the winner here tonight!

Chris Avery: Roman Gunn is the winner here tonight!

Hendricks rolls out of the ring and Roman stands and looks directly into the crowd and stares at everyone booing him.

Billy: What's he doing now?

Roman walks over and demands a microphone. He grabs one from Adilene and walks back to the center of the ring.

His music fades and Roman slowly raises the microphone up.

Roman Gunn: Acknowledge me.

Roman drops the microphone as the crowd boos. We take a commercial break.

We open up to Pasternak walking down the hallway when Frank limps by and stops him.

FPV: Where is she?!

Pasternak shrugs but doesn't like the tone Frank is using.

FPV: You owe me, one, don't forget that!

Alexander Pasternak: You're right, I do, so lets make it square right now. She has this obsession with destroying your limbs it seems.. and you want revenge, and I owe you one, fine. Next week, You and Jill one on one.. winner gets into the All-In match.

Crowd pops.

Alexander Pasternak: It's a submission match!

Crowd buzzes.

---

Dangerously is already in the ring and ready to go.

Billy: TV title up next!

Chris Avery: I think the secret admirer said they were going to reveal themselves tonight too!

Billy: Hell yeah, should be good!

As the world falls;
wider grows disaster's maw
Desperate the thralls call;
thee three crows caw

As those words faded to black, a shrill Banshee’s Wail rang out through the stadium and everything went as dark as it possibly could. A moment later, the beginnings of Orbit Culture’s Nensha began to play; a light layer of smoke appeared upon the stage as the lights began to frantically flash in sync with the music. As the music increased in pace, so did the flashing of the lights; a silhouette of a person appearing upon the stage, hunched forward.

PICK UP THE BONES!

Abruptly, the lights return to normal in time to see the person lean backward and release a deep guttural scream upwards to the heavens from parted lips painted black. Upon finishing the guttural growl, the person titled their head down and fixated their fiery crimson gaze upon the ring; the Action Wrestling crowd letting out a sizable pop. With skin as pale as porcelain and clearly dressed to compete within the squared circle, the person was none other than the Witch of Action Wrestling; Claire Hawkins!

Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring, from Salem, Massachusetts, weighing in at 145 pounds, she is the Action Wrestling Television Champion.................... "The Witch".....CLAIRE.....HAWKINS!!

Once she reached the ringside area Claire paused for a moment to look at the cameraman that had dared to get close enough to get a good shot of her face. With a vicious snarl, Claire let out another one of those screams and forced the cameraman to quickly backpedal. Feeling pleased with herself, Claire made her way over to the steps and into the ring. Once she was in the ring she walked to the side of the ring where the hard camera was and stepped onto the second rope, leaned forward a little to keep her balance, and held her arms up while she held up in the "Devil Horns" gesture as pyro shot up from the ring posts. All the while bellowing out that same savage, guttural scream.

DING DING DING

Dangerously slides out of the ring instantly!

Billy: What is he doing?

Chris Avery: No idea, bro!

Dangerously is on the outside thinking about getting back in the ring but he can't.

Hawkins is confused but telling him to bring it! She wants to fight!

The ref is up to 8!

9!

10!

DING DING DING

Billy: A count out victory for Hawkins!

Chris Avery: Hawkins retains the title, but why?

The lights go out.

The ActionTron lights up.

DEAR MY LOVELY CLAIRE.

ITS TIME I REVEAL MYSELF.

The ActionTron fades out as the lights come back on.

Hawkins isn't alone in the ring.

Billy: WHAT THE?!

Chris Avery: IT WAS HIM ALL ALONG?!

Johnny Dangerously is standing behind Hawkins as she slowly turns around almost in disgust.

Dangerously smiles and winks.

The crowd booing.

He pulls out a small box in his hand and drops to one knee.

HAWKINS MISTS HIM!!

Billy: THE BLACK MIST!!

Dangerously screams in pain and flips on the canvas!!

Chris Avery: OH MY GOD!! DANGEROUSLY WAS THE SECRET ADMIRER AND HE JUST GOT BLINDED BY THE MIST!!

Hawkins grabs the Television Championship and spits the rest of the mist in the corner of her mouth onto him as the ref is trying to find a towel for his face.

Hawkins leaves the ring and heads up the ramp.

We fade to a commercial.

---

Retaliation hits and Bam Beefer comes out immediately from behind the curtain screaming and yelling throwing his hands up. He spins around slowly taking a look at his video on the Action Tron as he's walking down the ramp. He doesn't high five any of the fans as he yells into the camera as his nameplate shows up on screen.

Adilene Floyd: Introducing from Houston Texas, weighing 300 pounds, BAM BEEFER!

Bam rolls into the ring under the ropes and gets up and runs against the ropes two times and stops in the middle of the ring and taunts at the crowd. Bam leans in the corner wiping the sweat off his head and getting ready for the match to begin.

Billy: Beef Rulez, so this could get interesting!

Chris Avery: Remember, John Black called out Hardcore Champion Johnny Bacchus last week on Clash and he got Team Extreme instead!

Billy: We'll see if John Black is ready for THIS challenge!

The lights goes out, and we hear the record scratching, then once "I get Real Raw" is heard JB comes out to the stage with the lights on as the song plays on the iron. He then stands at the entrance way, looking at the crowd and walks down to the ramp and gives everyone some daps. Then he slides into the ring, and stands at the corner and taunts to everyone. Then he stands in the middle of the ring as his theme cuts off.

Billy: John Black has a steel chair!

Chris Avery: He's aso carrying a pipe too!

DING DING DING

Beefer goes to clobber him but John Black moves out of the corner and Beefer smashes in! Black drops the weapons and hits him with right hands and strikes! He takes Beefer out of the corner and whips him into the ropes and he quickly scoots the chair over on the mats and hits a POWERSLAM on the chair on Beefer!!

Billy: SHITFIRE!!

Beefer rolls out of the ring holding his back as Black grabs the chair and slides out too! He nails Beefer with a chair across the back!

Chris Avery: Another chair shot! Damn!

He grabs Beefer and shoves him into the steel steps and Beefer breaks them apart while flipping over them and crashing onto his back!

Billy: God damn, what a shot!

Black grabs the pipe from inside the ring and goes to smash it on Beefer but he moves and Black hits the steel steps! Beefer hits a shot to his stomach and then grabs the head of Black and hits a suplex onto the steel steps!!

Chris Avery: God damn!

Beefer gets up and grabs a soda from the front row and dumps it all over John Black and then takes a huge sip. He throws the cup down and picks up John Black and throws him into the ring! Beefer grabs a trash can from under the ring and throws it in! He grabs a table from underneath the ring and pulls it out. He slides it into the ring as well.

Beefer slides in and grabs the trash can and smashes it on John Blacks head!!

Black goes down and Beefer pins!

One!

Black kicks out!

Billy: What a kick out by Black!

Chris Avery: Its going to take A LOT more than that to beat John Black!

Beefer gets up and grabs the trash can and throws it at Black but Black ducks and the trash can misses! Black charges at Beefer and hits a spear into the turnbuckles! Beefer crashes hard as Black gets up and grabs the table and sets it up!

Billy: Setting up the table! Oh shit!

Chris Avery: This could be good!

Black sets it up in the middle of the ring and goes and hits a boot to Beefer! He grabs the dented up trash can and smashes it on the head of Beefer!

Black leaves the ring and grabs the steel chair and slides back in but Beefer picks up Black and hits a spinebuster on the canvas!

Billy: Beefer gets the momentum back!

The chair is dropped so Beefer grabs Black and sets him on the table. He chops him on the chest and slaps his face leaving him on the table! Beefer goes over and begins to climb up to the top turnbuckle!

Billy: Beefer going up top!

Chris Avery: Oh god! This can't be good!

Beefer faces Black and is ready to jump off the top rope but Black gets up, grabs the chair and SMASHES it over the head of Beefer!!

Billy: SHITFIRE!!

Chris Avery: GOD DAMN!!

Beefer falls off the top rope and flips through the table crashing through!!

Billy: TIMBERRR!!

Chris Avery: BEEFER JUST SMASHED THROUGH THE TABLE!!

Black picks up Bam Beefer and picks up his fatass onto his shoulders..

Billy: HE HAS HIM UP!!

Black hits the DVD!!

Chris Avery: THE BLACK LIST!

Black pins!

One!

Two!

Three!

DING DING DING!!

Billy: John Black defeats Bam Beefer!

Chris Avery: What a win!

Black gets up and celebrates BUT SHANE STRIKER HITS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!

Billy: OH COME ON!!

Chris Avery: WHAT THE HELL!?

Striker kneels down and blasts Black with more right hands!! He grabs some handcuffs out of his pocket and locks a handcuff on Blacks wrist!

Billy: DONT DO THIS!! COME ON!!

Black struggles but Striker handcuffs him to the turnbuckles!

Chris Avery: WHAT ARE THEY DOING!?

Black tries to fight out of it but Striker grabs his steel chair and smashes the end of it into his stomach! He does it over and over and over!

Black tries to get up but Striker smashes the chair over his head!!

Billy: GOD DAMN!!

Chris Avery: HES OUT COLD!

Black is sitting in the corner as blood runs down his forehead.

Billy: What the hell?!

Beefer is up and Striker has a microphone..

Shane Striker: John Black!! You and ME!! NEXT WEEK!! A STREET FIGHT!

Striker throws the microphone down as Black sits crumbled in the corner handcuffed to the turnbuckles as Striker and Beefer leave the ring.

Billy: Oh come on! Striker and John Black next week in a street fight? Yeah, that'll go good, right?!

Chris Avery: If it's going to be 2 on 1, no it won't be good!

Billy: My thoughts exactly!!

We see some officials come out to unblock Black from the handcuffs as Team Extreme pose on the stage. We fade to a commercial.

Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first, weighing in at 210 lbs... he is one half of the AW Tag Team champions... Kidsgrove!!

As the opening riff to “Unity” by Shinedown echoes around the arena. Strobe lights pulse along with the beat. As soon as the drums begin, fire shoots up from the sides of the stage in time with them.

Zooey Deschanel, wearing a cute dress and looking like sunshine walks out first, she looks out at all sections of the crowd and nods in time with the music, her face beaming with positive energy. Kidsgrove joins her and puts his arm over her shoulder, bringing her in for a tender kiss. They then start to walk down the ramp, speaking to people in the front row, signing autographs, taking selfies, kissing babies, hi fiving and generally making sure that everyone can get a memento of meeting them. This takes a while.

Eventually they make it to the ring area. Kidsgrove jumps to the apron first and lowers the rope for Zooey to get into the ring. When she does, they both immediately go to opposite corners and stand in the middle turnbuckle, posing for the crowd. Kidsgrove doing the “Hey, I know you” or the “Double guns” where Zooey is blowing kisses and waving at people who have their signs or look friendly. They do this again on other turnbuckles and high five each other when they go past.

Deschanel then exits the ring after Kidsgrove again holds the rope for her and proceeds to take selfies and high five people at ringside as Kidsgrove smiles at her, then winks and gets ready for action.

Chris Avery: Although it came as a surprise to everyone when Dandy chose Kidsgrove as his partner a few weeks back, they were able to come together as a team and retain the titles at Tokyo Fite. But both men seemed to think that Dionysus and Downfall were going to be one-and-done as a team.

Billy: Kidsgrove better get his head in the game tonight, Downfall is hunting for the Tag champs!!

Adilene Floyd: And his opponent, weighing in at 220 lbs... DOWNFALL!

The arena lights dim, as the crowd goes silent and a blazing neon-red Anarchy symbol appears on the tron, which then transitions into the symbol becoming the A in Downfall's name. Then, as the jumbotron begins playing images of shots of Downfall hitting various kicks and signature moves, the opening drum rhythm to "Mainlining Murder" begins.

"Don't touch me baby your fingertips, they feel like pins across my skin

Just light another cigarette so I don't regret, inviting you over

Well don't hold my hand or I'll punch your face

I'm a hungry rat in this hole I waste

There's no blood to taste in this awful place

I'm mainlining murder!

I'm mainlining murder!!"

As the music is kicking in harder, Downfall's head is bowed, and he kneels one knee on the stage, tracing the fingers of his right hand across the ramp, then he slowly raises his head to look at the ring. He then shoots his fist towards the ring and shouts out to the crowd. The arena lights brighten, and then, he begins his walk down to the ring, holding his arms out to take in the reaction of the crowd. He's earned a respectful pop from the smart marks in the crowd. He cracks his neck to the side in an aggressive manner and flaps his hands out at his sides in the manner of someone just itching to get their hands dirty, and as Lars' voice reaches the roughest note of the bridge he slides in the ring, walks over to the ropes and balances himself on the second rope, and then he holds his arms up in a crossed-wrist X symbol. Then he hops down, takes off his vest, and stretches for the match.

Chris Avery: Look at the look of intensity on Downfall's face tonight, he isn't here to play games!

Billy: Maybe if someone played some Scrabble with him, he'd calm down. Or some Battleship!

Chris Avery: ...You, you really think if you went up to Downfall and said that you want to play Scrabble with him, that would yield you good results.

Billy: Last time I asked him if he wanted to share a bite of my churro and he said he'd break my finger.

The ref tells both men to keep it clean, as Downfall and Kidsgrove step up to each other, face to face. There is a tense staredown for a moment. They both begin talking trash to each other as they get nose to nose. Downfall begins pointing his finger in Kidsgrove's face as he mouths off. Then, Kidsgrove shoves Downfall. Downfall shoves back, and then Kidsgrove gives Downfall a thumb to the eye. Downfall is momentarily blinded, and then he swings for a clothesline. Kidsgrove takes him down with a ruthless front facebuster. He goes to lift Downfall up, paintbrushing the back of his head. Downfall ducks and begins giving Kidsgrove a flurry of right hands. Downfall grips Kidsgrove's arm and goes to whip him to the ropes, but Kidsgrove reverses, sending his challenger to the ropes. Kidsgrove goes for a hip toss, but Downfall blocks it with his leg, and goes to hip toss the smaller Kidsgrove. Kidsgrove blocks as well, and clotheslines Downfall down to the mat. Kidsgrove lifts Downfall back to his feet, and clotheslines him back down.

Chris Avery: Though they have similar wrestling styles, Downfall does have decades of experience over Kidsgrove, who still has the stigma of being a Hollywood outsider.

Billy: Cain't call your stunt double in to take the falls for you here, baby!!

Kidsgrove lifts Downfall up, and shoves him backwards into the ropes. Kidsgrove comes charging forward but he is stopped by Downfall flaring an elbow out, making him stumble forward. Downfall then sits on the middle ropes with his legs out in the aisle, and as Kidsgrove turns back towards him Downfall swings backwards, bringing his feet up to connect with Kidsgrove's temple. As Kidsgrove stumbles backwards, holding his temple, Downfall runs in and gives Kidsgrove a kick to the midsection, followed by three chops across Kidsgrove's chest until the Hollywood Elite grabs Downfall around the throat and tosses him into the corner. Downfall bounces out of the corner and chops Kidsgrove across the chest again and again, before kicking him in the midsection and mixing it up with more chops until Kidsgrove himself has been backed up into a corner. Once in the corner, Downfall kicks Kidsgrove in the midsection to stoop him over before plowing away on his head with an aggressive flurry of punches. Kidsgrove begins covering his head and immediately Downfall begins landing punches to his body, mixing it with kicks until the ref tells them to get out of the corner. Downfall immediately backs away, sticking his hand out in a mocking manner, beckoning Kidsgrove to come get some more.

Chris Avery: Kidsgrove looked like he was going to start out tonight by dominating the match, but Downfall is standing there just begging for more.

Billy: I don't know who I'm supposed to root for in this match! Downfall has been showing us a more honorable side since being part of a real team...

Chris Avery: But, counterpoint, he still does have a dark side and a dickishness that makes it hard to really root for him (I guess)

Billy: But Kidsgrove is an upstanding, morally forthright, elite member of society who gives to charities and takes part in political rallies to make the world a better place!

Chris Avery: ...And he'll never let you forget it. Yeah, tough call here.

Kidsgrove stands in the corner mouthing at Downfall, slowly getting into Downfall's head as well, as Downfall begins to get impatient at Kidsgrove's not wanting to meet him in the middle of the ring. Downfall then begins to square away with Kidsgrove and as he begins to move in for the corner, Kidsgrove walks out, and they both begin circling the ring. Downfall and Kidsgrove thwart off each other's grapple attempts until Downfall grabs Kidsgrove's hand and twists it around into a wristlock. He spins the wristlock into a harsh armwringer takedown that plants Kidsgrove into the mat, face first, holding his shoulder. Downfall lifts Kidsgrove back up, applying another wristlock and twisting it, then lifting up, as if attempting to dislocate Kidsgrove's shoulder. Kidsgrove then quickly turns into the wristlock and with his free hand grabs Downfall underneath his arm before throwing him off with a hiptoss. Downfall rolls up to one knee in the corner and looks back at Kidsgrove, who primly returns Downfall's earlier, mocking gesture to tell him to come on. Downfall angrily gets up, charging at Kidsgrove, and is stopped in his tracks by a boot to the midsection, and then dropped by a snap suplex executed quicker than a flash. Kidsgrove lifts Downfall back up and hooks both of Downfall's arms close to his body, and he starts giving him multiple headbutts. Finally, with Downfall limp in his arms, Kidsgrove dumps him with a quick belly to belly suplex. He goes for a cover.

One... Kickout.

Chris Avery: Kidsgrove surprising everyone with a nice flurry of offensive skills, and the first cover!

Billy: See, you can lead a horse to water, and also teach a movie star to do a hip toss!

Chris Avery: You're mixing metaphors again.

Billy: ...Bullpies!

Downfall waits until Kidsgrove lifts him up and he rakes his eyes. Downfall then grips Kidsgrove by the back of his head and dumps him out of the ring. Downfall takes a second to mimick Kidsgrove's pose he does as he comes out to the ring, as he walks out, lifts Kidsgrove up and bounces his head off the apron. Downfall walks Kidsgrove down the aisle by the back of the head, and goes to bounce his head off the steel steps. Kidsgrove straightens his arms and blocks, then he elbows Downfall in the gut and flings him across the steel steps. Downfall pulls himself back up, and Kidsgrove gives him a few right hands. He knees Downfall in the midsection and gives him a Russian legsweep into the guardrail. The ref tells both men to get in the ring. Kids lifts Downfall up and goes to give the Downfall a DDT on the concrete. However, Downfall gives the smaller man a backdrop, flinging him over his shoulder. Kidsgrove hits the concrete floor and rolls around, holding his back. Downfall starts climbing onto the apron. Kidsgrove sits up, holding his back, and then Downfall runs across the apron and flies off, coming down into the aisle with a two-footed dropkick to the chest of the seated Kidsgrove. At the urging of the ref, Downfall rolls into the ring and back out to break the count.

Chris Avery: A broken sternum is the best Kidsgrove can hope for from that!

Downfall lifts Kidsgrove up and gives him a European uppercut. Kidsgrove stumbles to his feet, and the Beast Unleashed shoves him back into the guardrail, and gives him a few knife edge chops to the chest. Kidsgrove reverses, throwing Downfall across the guardrail back first and chopping him across the chest as a few people sitting by them cheer him on and say wooo! Kidsgrove grabs Downfall's arm and irish whips him into the steel steps. Downfall nails the steps shoulder first. Kidsgrove, taking his time and stalking Downfall as he gets up, holding his shoulder, drops him face first across the apron. Downfall drops back into the aisle, holding his face. Kidsgrove begins clubbing him over the back, and then walks him over, bounces his head off the apron, and rolls him back into the ring, following in after him. Kidsgrove measures Downfall, waiting for him to get up, and then as Downfall does Kidsgrove goes for a DDT, but Downfall spins out of it, pulling his head loose, and he wraps Kidsgrove's arm up in a hammerlock, twisting it in and jumping a few times to cinch in the pressure, before spinning Kidsgrove around and unloading with a vicious jawbreaker lariat. He goes for a cover.

Chris Avery: Nearly BEHEADS him with Babylon Burning!!

Billy: He may have it here!

One...

Tw... Kickout.

Downfall and Kids rise at the Kidsgrovee moment, and Kidsgrove boots Downfall in the gut and drops down with a wicked looking DDT that leaves Downfall nearly vertically driven into the mat. Downfall flops over. Kidsgrove takes a moment to begin stomping Downfall, and stomps every exposed part of Downfall’s body as he circles him. Finally, he drops a knee across Downfall’s forehead. Kidsgrove arrogantly holds his hands up, smirking at Downfall and giving him a wink and finger guns. Kidsgrove jogs around the ring, dancing and waiting for Downfall to get up. Kidsgrove turns around into a roundhouse kick. Downfall whips Kidsgrove into the corner and follows it up with a running enziguri in the corner. Downfall picks Kidsgrove back up, and shoves him back into the corner. He begins booting Kids down a few times, and then he climbs up to the second turnbuckle and begins laying into Kidsgrove's head with a ten-punch combo. As the crowd counts along, 1...2...3...4...5...6... Suddenly, Kids pushes Downfall off. Downfall quickly gets to his feet and comes running in for clothesline, but Kidsgrove ducks it and boots him in the gut. He sets Downfall up on the top rope. He gives Downfall a few right hands, then climbs up, motioning to the crowd as he gets set to give Downfall a frankensteiner, but Downfall headbutts him in the groin and pushes Kidsgrove back to the mat. Downfall flies off with a crossbody, taking Kidsgrove down. Downfall rolls into a cover, but Kidsgrove rolls through it into a cover of his own. The referee counts...

Chris Avery: And again, Downfall is caught off guard by a sudden burst of unexpected prowess from Kidsgrove!

One...

Two... Kickout.

A frustrated Downfall, annoyed that he nearly got caught there, lifts Kidsgrove up and annihilates him with a shoulder backbreaker. He begins stomping and booting the small of Kidsgrove's back and he applies a seated camel clutch with a knee in his back. As Downfall pulls back aggressively, he digs his fingers into Kidsgrove's face as well, stretching it painfully. The ref admonishes Downfall, telling him to stop on risk of disqualification. Downfall ignores him, but goes back to fully putting all of his efforts into the submission. Finally, he breaks it off and goes back to stomping on every limb of Kidsgrove.

Chris Avery: I think Downfall has a game plan in mind.

Downfall grips Kidsgrove, lifting him up and punishing him with a cobra clutch backbreaker, before holding on to the cobra clutch and sinking down to the mat. The ref asks Kidsgrove if he gives up, but Kidsgrove stubbornly refuses. He stretches for the ropes, but they're out of reach. Kidsgrove begins pulling himself up with the bulkier Downfall on his back, and he is able to get to one knee, then slowly to his feet. His face is turning bright red as he resists being put out by the submission hold. Kidsgrove suddenly runs backwards, squishing Downfall into the turnbuckles. Kidsgrove gets a running start and turns, ramming speed into the opposite side and sandwiching Downfall. Downfall loosens the hold enough for Kidsgrove to shift him around to the side, walk him out to the middle of the ring and then fling him forward into the metal ringpost between the ropes.

Chris Avery: Stunt Double! Downfall is cringing in pain!

A relentless Kidsgrove then grips Downfall's legs and applies a Boston crab. Downfall screams in pain, and flails his arms for the ropes, as the Hollywood Elite settles back on the hold, not letting him go anywhere.

Chris Avery: Oh!! Downfall is in trouble now!

Billy: No partners are in sight, it's just the two of them (And Zooey, who is adorable and can do no wrong!)

Downfall shouts in pain and reaches for the bottom rope. Kidsgrove won't let him crawl anywhere. Using all of his strength Downfall begins to inch towards the ropes, but as soon as he gets within a fingertip distance, Kidsgrove walks him back into the middle of the ring and sits back on the hold. Downfall's eyes shoot wide open as his mouth stretches in agony. He bites down on his hand to keep from shouting. But still he refuses to give up when the ref asks. Finally, Downfall begins to crawl towards the ropes again, and stretching as far as he can, he grips the bottom rope. The ref makes Kidsgrove release the hold. Downfall wraps around the bottom rope with all his might to insure safety, as the ref comes between the two men until Downfall gets out of the ropes. Kidsgrove backs up, holding his hands up in supplication as he says, "Okay, okay" to the ref, who is telling him to stand back, and Downfall gets back in the ring, just in time for Kidsgrove grip him from behind and hit him with a trio of German suplexes, letting go on the last one to send Downfall tumbling around the ring. Downfall rolls around, holding his neck and shoulder, which he landed on, and he pulls himself up with Kidsgrove looming behind him. Kidsgrove grabs his arm to turn him around, lift him up on his shoulders, and drop him with an air raid crash. He goes for a cover.

Chris Avery: And now Kidsgrove lays Downfall out with that move!

Billy: I tell you, Kidsgrove will be taking Fight Forever all the momentum into Uprising if he can get past Downfall tonight!

One...

Two... Kickout.

Kidsgrove lifts Downfall up and starts clubbing him over the back. He whips Downfall to the corner, and comes in looking for a corner splash, but at the last instant Downfall pulls himself up on the top ropes and pulls his legs up in a position so that the incoming Kidsgrove hits nothing but turnbuckle. Kidsgrove stumbles away, holding his sternum. Then, Downfall climbs up so that he's standing facing Kidsgrove as Kidsgrove is turned away from him, and Downfall flies off the turnbuckle and takes Kidsgrove down with a bulldog off the top rope. Downfall rests on the mat from this big move for a second. He picks himself up off his feet and begins furiously booting Kidsgrove's limbs, until he finally has enough, lifts Kidsgrove up, and annihilates him with a snap dragon suplex, done with such ferocity that Kidsgrove is dropped on his neck.

Chris Avery: Eden's Demise!!

One...

Two... Downfall pulls off of the cover.

Billy: What is this idiot doing, if he wanted to end this, he could have had him there!

Shaking his finger as if to say not just yet, Downfall grabs Kidsgrove's arm and starts trying to lock in a Lebell lock. Kidsgrove resists being turned over, pounding on Downfall's head with his free arm. Downfall gives Kidsgrove a few stomps to the chest while he's down and continues trying to turn him over, finally succeeding in turning him onto his stomach applying a crossface. Kidsgrove shouts and yells as Downfall settles into the hold, and Downfall screams at him to give up. The ref asks Kidsgrove if he gives up. Kidsgrove steadfastly refuses. He tries to crawl for the ropes. Downfall shakes his head and smirks, and cranks back on the crossface.

Chris Avery: BAD WOLF !! KIDSGROVE IS TRAPPED IN THE BAD WOLF!!

Kidsgrove refuses to give up, and after a few more moments in the hold Downfall breaks it off. He begins stomping on the arm of Kidsgrove. He lifts Kidsgrove up and pulls him over to the corner, scraping his boot across the face of Kidsgrove a few times then backing up a few paces, running in and giving him a harsh facewash style kick to the temple. Downfall pulls his boot out and looks down at Kidsgrove for a second, then lifts his limp body up and pulls out onto the apron so that he is hanging by his boots on the middle rope, then give Kidsgrove a rope hung spike DDT onto the apron. Kidsgrove is laid out on the apron, staring straight up as if his brains were scrambled. Downfall pulls Kidsgrove back into the ring.

Billy: I'm surprised we didn't have Dionysus and Dandy out here in the apron, gettin' into shenanigans and chasing each other.

Chris Avery: As much as they would influence this match, I think both sides are of the mindset that they wanted to be more honorable, and keep this match one on one (and Zooey, who mostly probably doesn't try to influence matches like that)

One...

Two...

Thr... Kickout.

Downfall angrily shouts that that was three. The ref corrects him, saying Kidsgrove kicked out. Downfall begins to threaten the ref, telling him to do his damn job right. Downfall walks over to Kidsgrove, slapping the back of his head repeatedly. Kidsgrove is starting to stir, shaking the cobwebs from his vision. Downfall lifts Kidsgrove up, attempting to hook him for an STO backbreaker, but Kidsgrove elbows Downfall repeatedly and with machinelike intensity until Downfall loosens the hold, and then Kidsgrove counters with a reverse STO of his own, quickly floating over the fallen Downfall into a front facelock. Downfall's eyes widen as if he's caught in a bear trap, and he tries to push Kidsgrove off, but Kidsgrove holds fast to Downfall's throat, choking him out. He frees one hand to relentlessly club Downfall over the back, and then Downfall begins to fall limp in his arms. As Downfall sinks down to the mat, Kidsgrove begins giving him a harsh series of knee strikes to the neck, shoulder, and head as Downfall lies prone on the mat. Kidsgrove lifts Downfall back up and whips him into the corner, coming in for a big corner clothesline. Downfall is barely able to keep his footing, and stumbles out of the corner, dropping to his knees, and then Kidsgrove dumps him overhead with a Northern light suplex.

Billy: This guy has a more extensive moveset than he does a full filmography!

Chris Avery: I think even Downfall, the veteran, was not prepared for an extended fight with Kidsgrove tonight. He may be taking his duties as one half of the Tag Team champions more seriously than Downfall thought.

Kidsgrove then lifts Downfall up, walking him over to a corner. He bounces Downfall's head off the top turnbuckle. Downfall falls against the ropes, barely able to keep his footing, but Kidsgrove isn't done, he lifts him back up and rams him into the turnbuckle again and again. And then, Kidsgrove walks out and then charges in to give Downfall a Helluva Kick!

Chris Avery: Kidsgrove DESTROYS Downfall with Take 2!

Billy: Downfall on the proverbial spaghetti legs, if he wasn't magnetically clinging to the ropes in the corner I think he'd be down and out!

Downfall is dazed and barely able to keep upright, slumped in the corner. Kidsgrove comes back, starting to lift Downfall up for a superplex, but Downfall fights back. Downfall digs his thumbs into Kidsgrove's eyes and violently rakes his face. Kidsgrove screams in pain as he checks his face, blinded, and he walks away. Downfall then clubs him over the back from behind and begins bouncing his head off the turnbuckles in a reversal, until Kidsgrove is limp enough to lift up to the top rope. Downfall climbs the turnbuckle as well, and pulls them both up so that they're standing on the top turnbuckle, and he hooks Kidsgrove for a front suplex. Suddenly, as Downfall lifts Kidsgrove up, Kids reverses with a sort of crossbody, taking them both down off the top rope! Both men crash to the mat, and don't move!

Chris Avery: OH MY GOD, KIDSGROVE JUST TOOK THEM BOTH OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THAT INSANE MOVE!

Billy: BOTH THEIR DAMN HEADS CRACKED TOGETHER, I'D BE SURPRISED IF BRAINS AIN'T RUNNING OUT LIKE EGG YOLKS!

The crowd is erupting into a huge chant of "That was awesome!" Both men are still down on the mat. The ref checks on both of them and then begins a ten-count for them to answer.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Six..
Seven...

Eight...

Both men slowly work their way up to a vertical base. Kidsgrove throws a punch that makes Downfall fall back a little. Downfall throws a punch of his own that snaps Kidsgrove's head to the side. Both men start going back and forth, trading big punches, and then Kidsgrove begins getting fired up, hitting him with heavy punches and backing Downfall up to the ropes, gripping his arm, attempting an irish whip, but Downfall reverses by sending Kidsgrove FLYING into the corner! Kidsgrove bounces out like a pinball, and he stumbles around in a circle and turns right into Downfall BLASTING him with a shotgun dropkick. Downfall doesn't waste a moment in going for a cover.

Chris Avery: LOCK... STEP... & GONE!!

One...

Two...

Three - Kickout!

Chris Avery: What a match! Holy hell!!

Billy: Both of these men want this in a big way! Both of these men wanna take a big win back to their partners, and have all the bragging rights going into Uprising! SHIT FIRE!

Downfall flops off of the pinfall, and lays on the mat, taking big, gasping lungfuls of air in. Kidsgrove is winded and staring straight up at the lights. Zooey bangs on the apron, finally getting worried that Kidsgrove is in trouble. Downfall grits his teeth, and gets up, walking over to Zooey to yell at her to keep out of this, as Kidsgrove starts struggling to get to his knees.

The ref is asking if both men are okay! They both nod as the crowd starts to cheer for both superstars. Kidsgrove is up and goes charging across the ring! Downfall is up!

Billy: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!

Kidsgrove flies into the air with his knee but Downfall rolls out of the way!

Kidsgrove lands on the middle turnbuckle and flies back with a crossbody taking Downfall down!

Downfall rolls through and picks up Kidsgrove in a powerslam grapple and gets to his feet! He tosses Kidsgrove up onto his shoulders and Downfall goes for a move

BUT DANDY IS ON THE APRON AND IS HOLDING ONTO KIDSGROVES LEGS! DOWNFALL AND THE REF DOESN’T NOTICE!

Downfall lets go of Kidsgrove as Dandy jumps off the apron and ducks down! Downfall turns around and goes for a clothesline on Kids but he ducks underneath and hits the ropes coming back with a BOX OFFICE SMASH!

Billy: HE GOT IT!!

Chris Avery: BUT DANDY ASSISTED!!

ONE!!

TWO!!

THREE!!

DING DING DING

Billy: Sam Kidsgrove wins!

Chris Avery: Oh come on! You saw what happened!

The ref raises the hand of Kidsgrove and Dandy gets into the ring and Dandy tries to raise Kidsgroves hand but he pushes Dandy away!

Billy: Kidsgrove didn’t like that one bit!

Downfall rolls out as Dionysus grabs him and the two coach each other up. Dandy is confused as Kidsgrove just leaves the ring.

Chris Avery: Dandy shouldn’t have done that!

Billy: He was just trying to help his tag team partner!

The scene fades to a commercial.

---

The opening riffs of HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD hits and Chase comes hopping out on one foot to some cheers. He lands on the stage and spins around and puts his arms out wide letting the cheers soak in from the sold out arena!

Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is.. CHASEEEE JACKSONNN!!

Chase smiles as his name is called and he walks down the ramp slapping some skin with some of the fans in the crowd. He stops at the bottom of the ramp and raises his arms getting everyone hype. He jumps onto the apron and walks around the ring post to the hardcam side and then bounces his back off the ropes twice while facing the crowd and raises his arms once more! The crowd pops again as Chase gets into the ring and stretches his legs and taps his knees and is ready for the match in his corner. The music fades.

Billy: This match is going to be special, alright! Kemp and Jackson can get into the All-In match by winning here tonight.

Chris Avery: But we know Kemp created the Following with Chase by his side the entire time.. until last month when Kemp turned on his Followers, and that included getting rid of Chase!

"Awake and Alive" by Skillet hits. Kemp just stands on the stage and stares at Chase. He walks down the ramp very slowly never taking his gaze off of Chase.

Billy: Last week, Kemp demanded to be in the All-In match and then was denied! But he took his viciousness and new edginess to the lockeroom and beat up a bunch of talent enhancement wrestlers!

Chris Avery: Now he has this match! I don't think he should be rewarded, but perhaps Jackson can do something about it!

Kemp is finally in the ring as the music fades and he steps to Chase in the middle of the ring and the bell rings.

DING DING DING

Kemp and Jackson stare at each other while Jackson talks some sense into Kemp but Kemp just turns around and tries to walk away.

Kemp gets a foot away but Jackson turns him around!

The crowd ooooohs but Kemp stares DAGGERS through Jackson and Jackson talks more sense. Kemp turns to a smirk and tries to leave again.

Jackson turns him around and Kemp hits a right hand!! Another right hand! A third right hand! He whips Jackson to the ropes and hits a HUGE back body drop!!

Billy: JESUS!

Chris Avery: KEMP in control NOW!

Kemp picks up Jackson and shoves him back into the turnbuckles and whips him to the other turnbuckles and smashes back first and stumbles out and Kemp hits a huge dropkick to the chest of Jackson sending him back to the turnbuckles on his ass!

Kemp walks over to Jackson and kneels down in front of him.

Kemp: YOU'RE A LOSER! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN! ALWAYS WILL BE!

The crowd can hear Kemp yelling and booos. Jackson is coming to but Kemp keeps yelling.

Kemp: YOU'RE A NOBODY! IM BETTER THAN YOU AND I TRIED MAKING YOU SOMEBODY.. BUT YOU'RE A NOBODY AND YOU WERE DRAG-

Jackson kicks Kemp in the head!

The crowd POPS!

Billy: WHOA!!

Jackson kicks out but Kemp gets on top of him and chokes him!

Billy: HEY COME ON!!

The ref counts 1, 2, 3, 4, but Kemp breaks it off. Kemp stands up and Jackson turns to his stomach and Kemp puts a boot on the back of his head pushing his face down into the canvas and Kemp poses.

The crowd boos.

Billy: Kemp back in control, are you kidding me though? Come on! Choking him!?

Kemp comes over and picks up Jackson BUT JACKSON ROLLS HIM UP AGAIN!!

Billy: NO!! KEMP KICKED OUT!!

Jackson can't believe it! The crowd can't believe it! Jackson is holding his head and Kemp is pulling himself up by the ropes! Jackson goes and grabs Kemp and tries to pull him off the ropes but can't.. The ref is wondering how Kemp is holding onto the ropes so Kemp takes the opportunity and HITS A BACK KICK!

Billy: OH COME ON A LOW BLOW!!

Jackson hits his knees in the middle of the ring and Kemp turns around and picks him up! He puts him on his own shoulders and hits the GO TO SLEEP!!

Billy: JUSTICE!!

Kemp hits it, and Jackson lands on his knees and he's damn near out cold but he stays put on his knees and Kemp holds Jacksons head up. Jacksons eyes roll into the back of his head as Kemp holds his head tight, almost embracing him..

Billy: What the..

Chris Avery: God damn..

Kemp holds Jackson close to his waist like he's almost hugging him.. but Kemp looks down at Jackson who looks up at him.. almost to wave the white flag with his eyes..

Kemp picks up Jackson and hits a second GO TO SLEEP!

Billy: DAMN IT!! JUSTICE AGAIN!!

Chris Avery: DAMN IT!

Kemp kneels down and pins Jackson.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING

Billy: Kyle Kemp is going to All-In!

The music hits as Kemp slowly stands up as Jackson is out cold. The ref bends down and is throwing up the X signal and checking on Jackson.

Kemp looks down at Jackson and takes a deep breath/sigh. Kemps eyes raise to the hardcamera and has a face that he's just disgusted with Jackson.

Billy: I think that chapter is done..

Chris Avery: I think the entire book is finished. Kemp stands tall over all of his followers...

Kemp stares into the camera as we fade out to the final commercial break.
