The scene fades in on the VoW newsroom where VoW news analysts Joey Nitro and Zelda Lawson sit behind the news desk, smiles on their faces as they look on into the camera. Their names display under them as Lawson nods to her co-anchor and then looks back to the camera.
Zelda Lawson
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this episode of The Nitro/Lawson Report, with the very informative Joey Nitro...and yours truly Zelda Lawson. In tonight’s broadcast, we will be discussing the results of Breakthrough 31, and following that we will be joined in-studio by the Xcel Champion Ryder Blade for an exclusive interview...
The camera cuts over to just Lawson as a graphic appears beside her head showing on the top right Tyler Storm sitting in the ring holding his arm and his I4NI Championship, and on the bottom left Scarlet Flint smirking as she stands near the stage.
Zelda Lawson
For our first story of this evening, Breakthrough saw a fantastic main event as my husband Tyler Storm, in his first match as Eye for an Eye Champion, defended his newly won title in a No-Disqualification match against longtime rival Ace Watson. The match, which featured a lot of great action from both competitors that results in some added pain to already noticeable injuries to the two men's arms, saw The Hybrid successfully defend his title against Watson. Following the match, a post-contest attack by Mr. Watson was targeted at the I4NI Champion, and Storm was completely incapacitated when Scarlet Flint added herself into said attack. Luckily for Tyler, Owen Gonsalves, who was sitting at the commentator's table for the match, saved his long time friend and Scarlet very clearly made her intentions that she was coming after Tyler Storm and his title. It will be interesting to see how Tyler reacts, and what shape he is in, following such a devastating message at Breakthrough 31...
The camera cuts to Nitro and a graphic appears to the right of his head depicting "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson standing in the ring, looking up at the VoW World Visionary Champion, Valquist standing on the stage.
Joey Nitro
Indeed, it certainly will be interesting to see Mr. Storm's reaction to Ms. Flint's intentions. Moving on and after that amazing Main Event, we ended with our very own World Champion, Valquist who would address the Vermont crowd, talking about whether Casanova English truly deserves the opportunity at his World Visionary Championship and that he wouldn't accept anything but the best to challenge for the gold. The Valiant one would then be interrupted by Orphanage member, "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson who informed the Champion that he would indeed be facing the best and this has set up a huge Main Event for Breakthrough edition thirty two where we will witness the World Champ take on The Punisher. I don't know about you Zelda, but I am certainly looking forward to seeing these two wrestling legends go at it with one another...
Cutting back to Lawson, a graphic of Dathyn in the center of the ring with his Dove Pan submission locked in against Brett Carson is shown.
Zelda Lawson
Indeed, and only time will tell if English will get his shot at The Valiant One. Speaking of The Orphanage's leader, another huge match we saw immediately before the main event was an amazing tag team battle between Mr. English and fellow stablemate Brett Carson taking on the newly aligned duo of Dathyn and Cera. And what an impressive back and forth bout that was, but at the end a submission finish gave Dathyn and Cera a huge victory that puts them as the new number one contenders for the Twin City Championships. The Gang Stars may be looking at a rough team coming their way very soon Joey...
Once again cutting back to Nitro, he nods in agreement as the graphic beside him changes to one showing a still of the backstage confrontation between Stacy Jones and Tyron Bickerton.
Joey Nitro
Oh definitely, it does seem as though Cera made the right decision to leave The Orphanage and side with Dathyn, the Gang Stars' second tag team title reign is certainly in jeopardy. And now moving onto our final top story of this week, after Xcel Champion, Ryder Blade announced via Twitter that his tag team partner for his tag team match against Stacy Jones and a partner of her choosing at Breakthrough thirty two was going to be Orphanage member, Brett Carson, it seemed as though Ms. Jones had a bit of a dilemma in finding her own partner. She would announce in an interview with our very own Darius Yates that unfortunately, all of her possible options were otherwise, unable to help her out due to other commitments...she would even go as far as to announce that if she wasn't able to find a partner, she would go at it on her own. Then, in walks VoW's newest acquisition and a man who like Ms. Jones, has already had some pretty big problems with both Mr. Carson and Mr. Blade, Tyron Bickerton. He would introduce himself to Ms. Jones before then offering his services to be her tag team partner, and as you would have probably expected, Ms. Jones would accept the invitation. Two unlikely teams doing battle at Breakthrough thirty two, and of course, not forgetting that if Ms. Jones and Mr. Bickerton are victorious, Ms. Jones will receive a shot at Mr. Blade at the Armed & Dangerous Pay-Per-View for his Xcel title, I for one cannot wait to see these two teams collide at Breakthrough thirty two...
Going back to Lawson, the graphic now changes to a side by side photo of Patrick Jones and Seth Iser.
Zelda Lawson
Neither can I Joey, I personally am going to be rooting for my gal Stacy and Tyron no doubt. Hopefully they can come out of Breakthrough 32 with the huge victory. Now on to our other news, we start with Patrick Jones coming out to the ring moments before his match up with Beck Ramsey and in front of the packed Gutterson Fieldhouse crowd accepted the challenge made last week by Seth Iser to face off against The Deity at Armed and Dangerous. Jones, who looked very confident in his message to Iser, definitely might be looking to reignite his fire back here in VoW come time for the Pay Per View event. I for one can't wait for this match up...
The camera cuts back to Nitro again and this time the graphic beside his head shows Big Boss Hogg, Beck Ramsey and Rayne Draven-Omega all laid out at the bottom of the concrete steps in the crowd.
Joey Nitro
We all expected PJ to accept Iser's challenge and we were not disappointed. In rather grim news next, moments after PJ's hard fought victory over Ramsey, Big Boss Hogg, the man who Ramsey has been a major thorn in the side of, would storm to the ring to have an altercation with the Master of Macabre. A brawl would ensue between the two but Ramsey would very nearly burn Hogg to a crisp when he would pull a torch lighter from underneath the ring...and that was when things got even more interesting when Rayne Draven-Omega would join the fray, another Visionary who has had major problems with Ramsey. Now with both Hogg and RDO hot on his tail, Ramsey would manage to avoid taking much damage when the fight would spill into the crowd...until Ramsey would blind Hogg with a fan's beer which would cause Hogg to pick RDO up, thinking it was Ramsey, before Ramsey himself would hit Hogg with a Bitter End spear which would ultimately send all three Visionaries down the concrete steps. We shall certainly make sure to keep all of you informed on the condition of all three Visionaries, as and when we find out...hopefully though, neither of them will be too seriously injured...
A graphic of Seifer Black standing on stage and Matthew Robinson in the ring annoyed is shown as the camera cuts back to Lawson.
Zelda Lawson
A very grim turn of events for all 3 competitors, all of whom have made great impacts as members of the VoW roster. I'll certainly be praying for speedy recoveries for them. Moving on, another big moment at Breakthrough was Seifer Black coming to the ring to a very positive response from the fans to deliver a big message to his big rival Matthew Robinson. It didn't take long for Robinson to make his presence known inside the arena, confronting Seifer on stage and those two men went off on each other with their words. But the biggest punch was when Seifer announced that at Armed and Dangerous, these two great competitors will be facing off in an I Quit match, a stipulation these two men haven't seen since their battle for the NWA World title. Nothing is going to prepare the VoW fans for how vicious this contest is going to be, and with nothing to lose or gain really, this fight is gonna be all about making sure the other competitor can't compete any longer. I see lots of mayhem at this big event Joey...
Cutting back to Nitro, he nods as the graphic beside him changes to one of Orphanage members, Casanova English, Matthew Robinson and Stuart Fishbauch surrounding a very concerned looking Chris McCarthy.
Joey Nitro
Oh trust me Zelda, I was running the NWA when these two men battled in that I Quit match and it is still today talked about as one of the biggest, most gruelling matches in NWA history. And onto our final news story, and it came in the form of Valquist's former associate, Chris McCarthy seemingly looking to maybe help out Casanova English with a way of taking the title away from the World Champion. Or at least, it seemed as if The Orphanage gave Mr. McCarthy no choice but to give them information on his former associate. The big question that beckons is, what information, if any, does McCarthy have on Valquist that could potentially assist in The Orphanage once again, getting the World Visionary Championship back into it's clutches...
The graphic disappears and the camera pans out to show both Lawson and Nitro.
Zelda Lawson
Well whatever info Mr. McCarthy has, it must be pretty huge info if it's got The Orphanage interested. And that's going to do it for this week's news, now to move on to our interview for tonight. Please welcome to the show the VoW Xcel Champion, Ryder Blade.
The camera pans over to show Ryder Blade sitting adjacent to Nitro at the end of the news desk.
Zelda Lawson
Thank you for joining us this evening Mr. Blade. So Ryder, at this upcoming Breakthrough you will be teaming up with your hand picked partner and member of The Orphanage Brett Carson to take on Stacy Jones and her partner Tyron Bickerton. Can I get some insight on what your thought process was looking for a partner for this tag team match, and your thoughts on Ms. Jones' choice with Tyron Bickerton?
Blade leans back, a very smug grin on his features.
Ryder Blade
First of all, Zel - looking fly, baby-girl! Hubba hubba! Definitely #XcellentChampionApproved!
VoW's most controversial champion gives the camera a muggy thumbs-up before finally replying.
Ryder Blade
As far as your question goes, it's real obvious. But that's OK, the #XcellentChampion knows sometimes people need stuff explained to them - especially when they're blonde and stuff. So the #XcellentChampion's gonna lay this out for you real simple. You've heard the #XcellentChampion say there are two periods in the history of the #XcellentChampion's belt: Before Xcellent and After Xcellent. After Xcellent, of course, the #XcellentChampion is the most decorated Champion...but Before Xcellent, the man with the plan, the dude with the 'tude...was Brett Carson. So when the #XcellentChampion needed a partner, he didn't really think of anyone else. He just went straight to his #XcellentPartner in two weeks, Brett Carson.
Lawson takes a deep breath with her eyes closed, then continues.
Zelda Lawson
I would ask that you remain respectful and professional with what you say to me and my co-anchor Mr. Blade, but you didn't answer the second part of my question. What are your thoughts on Stacy's choice of Tyron Bickerton to stand beside her in the ring. He has been a very interesting upstart talent so far despite his record.
Blade smirks.
Ryder Blade
Well, Zel, everybody knows when you go X, you x-perience the max!
A cheesy Colgate grin for the camera, then.
Ryder Blade
That's right, once you get to spend some quality time with the #XcellentChampion, your whole life becomes, well, more #Xcellent. Take Stacy, for x-ample. She got to go up close and personal with YOUR #XcellentChampion, and, well...look at her now. She had five dudes hittin' on her at Heatstroke, Zel. FIVE! Sure, aside from the #XcellentPartner and another dude, they were all old and sweaty and gross...but still...five of them!
Blade grins again, as if he were happy for Jones, then leans forward in a confidential manner. His tone also lowers as he continues:
Ryder Blade
There's only one problem...she's not over it yet, see? She's tripping the light fantastic. She's going cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. She wants the X, but she can't have the X. So she's flipping the heck out. She's on the rebound. She's trying to front like she's a rad dudette, like she can hang tough without the #XcellentChampion. Silent Bob's just her way of trying to make the #XcellentChampion jealous. He's just her rebound guy. Which by the way...
Blade switches the confidential demeanour over to the hard camera:
Ryder Blade
...the #XcellentChampion is totez disappointz, Stace. See, the #XcellentChampion thought you had taste in guys. After all, you did get up close and personal with him. But now you go and replace him with the Kool-Aid Man? What the fudge, babe?
Blade opens his arms, as if personally offended, an expression of shocked confusion crossing his features. Only then does he add.
Ryder Blade
Oh, and Wide Load? Stay Puft called. They want their mascot back.
Joey Nitro
Moving on, when you made this challenge to Stacy, you promised her that if she and Tyron defeat you and Brett at Breakthrough, you will grant her a shot at your Xcel Championship at the Armed & Dangerous Pay-Per-View. So my question to you Ryder is simple, if Stacy and Tyron do indeed walk out of Breakthrough with the victory, will you be a man of your word and grant Stacy a match for your title at the Pay-Per-View?
Blade scoffs, as if personally wounded by Nitro's question.
Ryder Blade
Tchaaaa! Like the #XcellentChampion would go back on his word like that! Only total geeks do stuff like that! The #XcellentChampion would NEVER let his #Xcellentologists down! Sure, Stacy and the #XcellentChampion can be FWBs and hook up for one night if she wants too. That's totally cool with the #XcellentChampion.
Lawson noticeably grits her teeth together and glares roughly at Blade.
Zelda Lawson
All right Mr. Blade, how about we move on. Many of the viewers and fans of VoW have commented about your recent acts in the ring of bringing out parodies of two of your fellow champions in this company, that being World Visionary Champion, Valquist and Zero Gravity Champion, Cameron Behringer, and then having "official" matches with them, which you won. What exactly is the motive for doing this? And furthermore, do you not feel you are disrespecting the sanctity of not only their titles but your own accolades by claiming these as actual victories against the actual competitors?
Once again, Blade looks disbelieving.
Ryder Blade
Zel! How are you gonna do the #XcellentChampion like that, babe? You gonna drink the haterade?! The #XcellentChampion thought you were an #Xcellentologist! But the #XcellentChampion guesses not - any real #Xcellentologist would know those were totally the real Champions, and the #XcellentChampion is undefeated in ten matches and THE most decorated Champion in VoW HISTORY! Everything else is just rumours from haters. You got that from the internet, right, Zel? The Internet totally hates on the #XcellentChampion! It's 'cause they're jealous of him, you dig? Or what, was it Cartman who told you? 'Cause if it was...duh, bogus alert! He's like, King Hater. Of course he'd want to spread that kind of gossip about your most #XcellentChampion.
Joey Nitro
Mr Blade, you cannot possibly state that they were the ‘real’ champions. Who are you trying to play us for? A bunch of fools? And please, while you are here in the VoW newsroom, will you please show my co-anchor some respect! This is your final warning Mr Blade, Mrs Lawson has warned you already and now I am warning you...and when I warn you about something, you had better pay attention.
Nitro, not looking too pleased with Blade’s comments, quickly asserts himself and continues being the professional he is.
Joey Nitro
For a long time now, you have been on a Hell of a roll here, it all really started after you defeated the now World Champion, Valquist and since then, you’ve shocked the VoW faithful with victory after victory. What do you believe is the reason behind all of your sudden success as of late?
Blade gives Nitro a genuinely confused look, arching his eyebrows and cocking his head to one side. It is as though he is trying to process what he has just been asked. After a long moment, the dime finally drops, and Blade all but gasps.
Ryder Blade
Uhhh...the #XcellentChampion is #Xcellent? Duh!!
Lawson stands up quickly and angrily breathes in and out.
Zelda Lawson
Mr. Blade! Will you please shut your mouth about these stupid hashtags! You aren't a child, respect this program, this isn't Twitter where you get to spit out your severely idiotic comments whenever you want!
Lawson tries to calm herself as she sits back down, but the angry tone in her voice is still there.
Zelda Lawson
Ryder...as a champion in VoW, you get to share lineage with some of the finest talent this company has to offer. Currently, you are among stars at the top of their respectful championship mountains, which include Valquist, Mr. Behringer, and my husband Tyler Storm as well as the Tag Champions, The Gang Stars. Now recently there was talk on Twitter between you four singles champions about having a huge Champion Fatal Four Way Match at some point. If this were to happen in the near future, how do you see your chances? Also, would you be fearful of targeting by your fellow competitors because of your verbal and physical actions to most of them as well as the many other great Visionaries on this roster?
Once again, Blade's look is one of amused disbelief.
Ryder Blade
Zel...you should know by now. The #XcellentChampion isn't afraid of anything. If the other dudes want to come at the #XcellentChampion, let 'em! The #XcellentChampion is younger, he's way cooler, he's undefeated in TEN MATCHES, and let's not forget...he's beaten old man Valium TWICE and CamerOLD BORINGer just last week! As for the other dude, well...the #XcellentChampion's 'bout to steal his girl. He can steal his title, too.
Blade winks at the increasingly livid Lawson, winking at her flirtatiously - which, of course, only makes it worse.
Zelda Lawson
All right that's about enough! Ryder you are absolutely the most disrespectful champion I have ever seen! How dare you constantly destroy the name of the Xcel Championship with these stupid hashtags, your constant remarks that make any sane person want to rip you to shreds, and your idiotic excuses of matches against parodies of two amazing VoW wrestlers! Everyone knows you can wrestle, even I don't deny that! But you pushing in everyone's faces constantly of your so called "Xcellence" is getting to a point where I hope and pray someone takes their boot and shoves it straight down your stupid throat and all the way down out your fu-
Nitro quickly steps in, cutting Lawson off before she can finish.
Joey Nitro
Okay Mr. Blade, I think we’re done now, please leave...
Lawson storms off and Blade turns to Nitro, offering a smirk and a pally grin.
Ryder Blade
Chicks, right bruh? It's probably that time of the month or something...
Nitro smirks, shaking his head before he pulls his earpiece out of his ear, he then slowly and calmly stands to his feet before removing his blazer. Undoing his tie, he takes it off from around his neck and then proceeds to unbutton the cuffs of his shirt before rolling them up his arms.
Joey Nitro
Okay Ryder, I’m done with the professional crap now...I knew it was going to be a bad idea getting you onto this show. You have disrespected the both of us, as well as disrespecting fellow Visionaries who we just so happen to be friends with. So I’m going to ask you one last time, get the Hell out of our newsroom, before I do something that I may end up regretting!
Ryder Blade
All right, all right, bruh. jeez, you got no chill, yo. The #XcellentChampion was leaving anyway. He's got places to see and people to do. He can't spend his whole day just hanging out in some crummy studio.
Blade turns towards the camera one last time, somehow still managing a muggy, cheesy grin as he delivers his send-off line.
Ryder Blade
Be #Xcellent to each other...and...PARTY ON, DUDES!!!
With this, Blade turns and leaves the newsroom, making a show of yelling out for someone off-camera.
Ryder Blade
YO K-DOGG! ...we're done here!
Nitro then finds himself alone in the newsroom once again, as he retakes his seat and puts a smile on his face and looks into the camera.
Joey Nitro
My apologies ladies and gentlemen, and that’s all we have time for on the Nitro/Lawson Report. Make sure to join us on the next show where we shall be delving into all the news from Breakthrough thirty two, as well as interviewing former two-time Xcel Champion, Stacy Jones...but until then folks, I’ve been Joey Nitro...
Suddenly, Lawson appears back on the camera and retakes her seat as she tries to rub down her frazzled anger hair.
Zelda Lawson
And I’ve been Zelda Lawson...reminding you not to be ‘xcellent’...ever!
Lawson just glares into the camera whilst Nitro looks on awkwardly as the camera pans away from them and the scene fades.
Zelda Lawson
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this episode of The Nitro/Lawson Report, with the very informative Joey Nitro...and yours truly Zelda Lawson. In tonight’s broadcast, we will be discussing the results of Breakthrough 31, and following that we will be joined in-studio by the Xcel Champion Ryder Blade for an exclusive interview...
The camera cuts over to just Lawson as a graphic appears beside her head showing on the top right Tyler Storm sitting in the ring holding his arm and his I4NI Championship, and on the bottom left Scarlet Flint smirking as she stands near the stage.
Zelda Lawson
For our first story of this evening, Breakthrough saw a fantastic main event as my husband Tyler Storm, in his first match as Eye for an Eye Champion, defended his newly won title in a No-Disqualification match against longtime rival Ace Watson. The match, which featured a lot of great action from both competitors that results in some added pain to already noticeable injuries to the two men's arms, saw The Hybrid successfully defend his title against Watson. Following the match, a post-contest attack by Mr. Watson was targeted at the I4NI Champion, and Storm was completely incapacitated when Scarlet Flint added herself into said attack. Luckily for Tyler, Owen Gonsalves, who was sitting at the commentator's table for the match, saved his long time friend and Scarlet very clearly made her intentions that she was coming after Tyler Storm and his title. It will be interesting to see how Tyler reacts, and what shape he is in, following such a devastating message at Breakthrough 31...
The camera cuts to Nitro and a graphic appears to the right of his head depicting "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson standing in the ring, looking up at the VoW World Visionary Champion, Valquist standing on the stage.
Joey Nitro
Indeed, it certainly will be interesting to see Mr. Storm's reaction to Ms. Flint's intentions. Moving on and after that amazing Main Event, we ended with our very own World Champion, Valquist who would address the Vermont crowd, talking about whether Casanova English truly deserves the opportunity at his World Visionary Championship and that he wouldn't accept anything but the best to challenge for the gold. The Valiant one would then be interrupted by Orphanage member, "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson who informed the Champion that he would indeed be facing the best and this has set up a huge Main Event for Breakthrough edition thirty two where we will witness the World Champ take on The Punisher. I don't know about you Zelda, but I am certainly looking forward to seeing these two wrestling legends go at it with one another...
Cutting back to Lawson, a graphic of Dathyn in the center of the ring with his Dove Pan submission locked in against Brett Carson is shown.
Zelda Lawson
Indeed, and only time will tell if English will get his shot at The Valiant One. Speaking of The Orphanage's leader, another huge match we saw immediately before the main event was an amazing tag team battle between Mr. English and fellow stablemate Brett Carson taking on the newly aligned duo of Dathyn and Cera. And what an impressive back and forth bout that was, but at the end a submission finish gave Dathyn and Cera a huge victory that puts them as the new number one contenders for the Twin City Championships. The Gang Stars may be looking at a rough team coming their way very soon Joey...
Once again cutting back to Nitro, he nods in agreement as the graphic beside him changes to one showing a still of the backstage confrontation between Stacy Jones and Tyron Bickerton.
Joey Nitro
Oh definitely, it does seem as though Cera made the right decision to leave The Orphanage and side with Dathyn, the Gang Stars' second tag team title reign is certainly in jeopardy. And now moving onto our final top story of this week, after Xcel Champion, Ryder Blade announced via Twitter that his tag team partner for his tag team match against Stacy Jones and a partner of her choosing at Breakthrough thirty two was going to be Orphanage member, Brett Carson, it seemed as though Ms. Jones had a bit of a dilemma in finding her own partner. She would announce in an interview with our very own Darius Yates that unfortunately, all of her possible options were otherwise, unable to help her out due to other commitments...she would even go as far as to announce that if she wasn't able to find a partner, she would go at it on her own.

Going back to Lawson, the graphic now changes to a side by side photo of Patrick Jones and Seth Iser.
Zelda Lawson
Neither can I Joey, I personally am going to be rooting for my gal Stacy and Tyron no doubt. Hopefully they can come out of Breakthrough 32 with the huge victory. Now on to our other news, we start with Patrick Jones coming out to the ring moments before his match up with Beck Ramsey and in front of the packed Gutterson Fieldhouse crowd accepted the challenge made last week by Seth Iser to face off against The Deity at Armed and Dangerous. Jones, who looked very confident in his message to Iser, definitely might be looking to reignite his fire back here in VoW come time for the Pay Per View event. I for one can't wait for this match up...
The camera cuts back to Nitro again and this time the graphic beside his head shows Big Boss Hogg, Beck Ramsey and Rayne Draven-Omega all laid out at the bottom of the concrete steps in the crowd.
Joey Nitro
We all expected PJ to accept Iser's challenge and we were not disappointed. In rather grim news next, moments after PJ's hard fought victory over Ramsey, Big Boss Hogg, the man who Ramsey has been a major thorn in the side of, would storm to the ring to have an altercation with the Master of Macabre. A brawl would ensue between the two but Ramsey would very nearly burn Hogg to a crisp when he would pull a torch lighter from underneath the ring...and that was when things got even more interesting when Rayne Draven-Omega would join the fray, another Visionary who has had major problems with Ramsey.

We shall certainly make sure to keep all of you informed on the condition of all three Visionaries, as and when we find out...hopefully though, neither of them will be too seriously injured...
A graphic of Seifer Black standing on stage and Matthew Robinson in the ring annoyed is shown as the camera cuts back to Lawson.
Zelda Lawson
A very grim turn of events for all 3 competitors, all of whom have made great impacts as members of the VoW roster. I'll certainly be praying for speedy recoveries for them. Moving on, another big moment at Breakthrough was Seifer Black coming to the ring to a very positive response from the fans to deliver a big message to his big rival Matthew Robinson. It didn't take long for Robinson to make his presence known inside the arena, confronting Seifer on stage and those two men went off on each other with their words. But the biggest punch was when Seifer announced that at Armed and Dangerous, these two great competitors will be facing off in an I Quit match, a stipulation these two men haven't seen since their battle for the NWA World title. Nothing is going to prepare the VoW fans for how vicious this contest is going to be, and with nothing to lose or gain really, this fight is gonna be all about making sure the other competitor can't compete any longer. I see lots of mayhem at this big event Joey...
Cutting back to Nitro, he nods as the graphic beside him changes to one of Orphanage members, Casanova English, Matthew Robinson and Stuart Fishbauch surrounding a very concerned looking Chris McCarthy.
Joey Nitro
Oh trust me Zelda, I was running the NWA when these two men battled in that I Quit match and it is still today talked about as one of the biggest, most gruelling matches in NWA history. And onto our final news story, and it came in the form of Valquist's former associate, Chris McCarthy seemingly looking to maybe help out Casanova English with a way of taking the title away from the World Champion. Or at least, it seemed as if The Orphanage gave Mr. McCarthy no choice but to give them information on his former associate. The big question that beckons is, what information, if any, does McCarthy have on Valquist that could potentially assist in The Orphanage once again, getting the World Visionary Championship back into it's clutches...
The graphic disappears and the camera pans out to show both Lawson and Nitro.
Zelda Lawson
Well whatever info Mr. McCarthy has, it must be pretty huge info if it's got The Orphanage interested. And that's going to do it for this week's news, now to move on to our interview for tonight. Please welcome to the show the VoW Xcel Champion, Ryder Blade.
The camera pans over to show Ryder Blade sitting adjacent to Nitro at the end of the news desk.
Zelda Lawson
Thank you for joining us this evening Mr. Blade. So Ryder, at this upcoming Breakthrough you will be teaming up with your hand picked partner and member of The Orphanage Brett Carson to take on Stacy Jones and her partner Tyron Bickerton. Can I get some insight on what your thought process was looking for a partner for this tag team match, and your thoughts on Ms. Jones' choice with Tyron Bickerton?

Blade switches the confidential demeanour over to the hard camera:
Ryder Blade
...the #XcellentChampion is totez disappointz, Stace. See, the #XcellentChampion thought you had taste in guys. After all, you did get up close and personal with him. But now you go and replace him with the Kool-Aid Man? What the fudge, babe?
Blade opens his arms, as if personally offended, an expression of shocked confusion crossing his features. Only then does he add.
Ryder Blade
Oh, and Wide Load? Stay Puft called. They want their mascot back.
Joey Nitro
Moving on, when you made this challenge to Stacy, you promised her that if she and Tyron defeat you and Brett at Breakthrough, you will grant her a shot at your Xcel Championship at the Armed & Dangerous Pay-Per-View. So my question to you Ryder is simple, if Stacy and Tyron do indeed walk out of Breakthrough with the victory, will you be a man of your word and grant Stacy a match for your title at the Pay-Per-View?
Blade scoffs, as if personally wounded by Nitro's question.
Ryder Blade
Tchaaaa! Like the #XcellentChampion would go back on his word like that! Only total geeks do stuff like that! The #XcellentChampion would NEVER let his #Xcellentologists down! Sure, Stacy and the #XcellentChampion can be FWBs and hook up for one night if she wants too. That's totally cool with the #XcellentChampion.
Lawson noticeably grits her teeth together and glares roughly at Blade.
Zelda Lawson
All right Mr. Blade, how about we move on. Many of the viewers and fans of VoW have commented about your recent acts in the ring of bringing out parodies of two of your fellow champions in this company, that being World Visionary Champion, Valquist and Zero Gravity Champion, Cameron Behringer, and then having "official" matches with them, which you won. What exactly is the motive for doing this? And furthermore, do you not feel you are disrespecting the sanctity of not only their titles but your own accolades by claiming these as actual victories against the actual competitors?
Once again, Blade looks disbelieving.
Ryder Blade
Zel! How are you gonna do the #XcellentChampion like that, babe? You gonna drink the haterade?! The #XcellentChampion thought you were an #Xcellentologist! But the #XcellentChampion guesses not - any real #Xcellentologist would know those were totally the real Champions, and the #XcellentChampion is undefeated in ten matches and THE most decorated Champion in VoW HISTORY! Everything else is just rumours from haters. You got that from the internet, right, Zel? The Internet totally hates on the #XcellentChampion! It's 'cause they're jealous of him, you dig? Or what, was it Cartman who told you? 'Cause if it was...duh, bogus alert! He's like, King Hater. Of course he'd want to spread that kind of gossip about your most #XcellentChampion.
Joey Nitro
Mr Blade, you cannot possibly state that they were the ‘real’ champions. Who are you trying to play us for? A bunch of fools? And please, while you are here in the VoW newsroom, will you please show my co-anchor some respect! This is your final warning Mr Blade, Mrs Lawson has warned you already and now I am warning you...and when I warn you about something, you had better pay attention.
Nitro, not looking too pleased with Blade’s comments, quickly asserts himself and continues being the professional he is.
Joey Nitro
For a long time now, you have been on a Hell of a roll here, it all really started after you defeated the now World Champion, Valquist and since then, you’ve shocked the VoW faithful with victory after victory. What do you believe is the reason behind all of your sudden success as of late?
Blade gives Nitro a genuinely confused look, arching his eyebrows and cocking his head to one side. It is as though he is trying to process what he has just been asked. After a long moment, the dime finally drops, and Blade all but gasps.
Ryder Blade
Uhhh...the #XcellentChampion is #Xcellent? Duh!!
Lawson stands up quickly and angrily breathes in and out.
Zelda Lawson
Mr. Blade! Will you please shut your mouth about these stupid hashtags! You aren't a child, respect this program, this isn't Twitter where you get to spit out your severely idiotic comments whenever you want!
Lawson tries to calm herself as she sits back down, but the angry tone in her voice is still there.
Zelda Lawson
Ryder...as a champion in VoW, you get to share lineage with some of the finest talent this company has to offer. Currently, you are among stars at the top of their respectful championship mountains, which include Valquist, Mr. Behringer, and my husband Tyler Storm as well as the Tag Champions, The Gang Stars. Now recently there was talk on Twitter between you four singles champions about having a huge Champion Fatal Four Way Match at some point. If this were to happen in the near future, how do you see your chances? Also, would you be fearful of targeting by your fellow competitors because of your verbal and physical actions to most of them as well as the many other great Visionaries on this roster?
Once again, Blade's look is one of amused disbelief.
Ryder Blade
Zel...you should know by now. The #XcellentChampion isn't afraid of anything. If the other dudes want to come at the #XcellentChampion, let 'em! The #XcellentChampion is younger, he's way cooler, he's undefeated in TEN MATCHES, and let's not forget...he's beaten old man Valium TWICE and CamerOLD BORINGer just last week! As for the other dude, well...the #XcellentChampion's 'bout to steal his girl. He can steal his title, too.
Blade winks at the increasingly livid Lawson, winking at her flirtatiously - which, of course, only makes it worse.
Zelda Lawson
All right that's about enough! Ryder you are absolutely the most disrespectful champion I have ever seen! How dare you constantly destroy the name of the Xcel Championship with these stupid hashtags, your constant remarks that make any sane person want to rip you to shreds, and your idiotic excuses of matches against parodies of two amazing VoW wrestlers! Everyone knows you can wrestle, even I don't deny that! But you pushing in everyone's faces constantly of your so called "Xcellence" is getting to a point where I hope and pray someone takes their boot and shoves it straight down your stupid throat and all the way down out your fu-
Nitro quickly steps in, cutting Lawson off before she can finish.
Joey Nitro
Okay Mr. Blade, I think we’re done now, please leave...
Lawson storms off and Blade turns to Nitro, offering a smirk and a pally grin.
Ryder Blade
Chicks, right bruh? It's probably that time of the month or something...
Nitro smirks, shaking his head before he pulls his earpiece out of his ear, he then slowly and calmly stands to his feet before removing his blazer. Undoing his tie, he takes it off from around his neck and then proceeds to unbutton the cuffs of his shirt before rolling them up his arms.
Joey Nitro
Okay Ryder, I’m done with the professional crap now...I knew it was going to be a bad idea getting you onto this show. You have disrespected the both of us, as well as disrespecting fellow Visionaries who we just so happen to be friends with. So I’m going to ask you one last time, get the Hell out of our newsroom, before I do something that I may end up regretting!
Ryder Blade
All right, all right, bruh. jeez, you got no chill, yo. The #XcellentChampion was leaving anyway. He's got places to see and people to do. He can't spend his whole day just hanging out in some crummy studio.
Blade turns towards the camera one last time, somehow still managing a muggy, cheesy grin as he delivers his send-off line.
Ryder Blade
Be #Xcellent to each other...and...PARTY ON, DUDES!!!
With this, Blade turns and leaves the newsroom, making a show of yelling out for someone off-camera.
Ryder Blade
YO K-DOGG! ...we're done here!
Nitro then finds himself alone in the newsroom once again, as he retakes his seat and puts a smile on his face and looks into the camera.
Joey Nitro
My apologies ladies and gentlemen, and that’s all we have time for on the Nitro/Lawson Report. Make sure to join us on the next show where we shall be delving into all the news from Breakthrough thirty two, as well as interviewing former two-time Xcel Champion, Stacy Jones...but until then folks, I’ve been Joey Nitro...
Suddenly, Lawson appears back on the camera and retakes her seat as she tries to rub down her frazzled anger hair.
Zelda Lawson
And I’ve been Zelda Lawson...reminding you not to be ‘xcellent’...ever!
Lawson just glares into the camera whilst Nitro looks on awkwardly as the camera pans away from them and the scene fades.
