English/Myers Vs. The Court
Jerry Heisenberg: The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall intro---
Before Jerry can let out the announcement for his match the light dims differently but in a familiar tone and the boo birds come to life early. Soon enough, the beginning strums of ‘Come as you Are’ starts to play and on cue…Seth Iser comes in with a scowl pressed onto his face.
Axel Reid: Great…we have a match to cover and this tyrant has something to say it seems.
Ruby Parvati: You don’t know that, Axel. You need to work on not being so judgmental.
The tailor dressed Seth Iser calmly stalks down the ramp, ignoring the verbal abuse spouted at his direction by the audience members before he calmly works his way not into the ring but around it. With a scowl he finally approaches the announce table before mouthing something off camera before the two announcers agree to the intimidating veteran’s request by shifting a little bit so they can have room for a temporary third member of the announce team.
Axel Reid: What do we owe this to, Seth?
Seth Iser: We’re about to see a hell’va tag match aren’t we? Plus I’m a little agitated about bias so I’m here to help with that problem coming from this booth.
Ruby Parvati: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this close and…you’re bigger this close than I thought you’d be…
Axel Reid: No flirting with the guests.
The second surprise of the last few minutes soon hits as ‘You’re Going Down’ by Sick Puppies begins to play through the P.A. system. For a second, Jerry is flustered before going through his history and then nodding.
Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing first, representing The Court…at a combined weight of 282 pounds…"The Queen" VANNNESSSSAAA! and her tag team partner, "The Duchess" RAYNNNE DRAAVEN OOOMEGAAA!
The duo walks out as the bubbly Vanessa and the little more intense RDO bursts through the curtain. Vanessa is mumbling something as RDO seems more intent on the task that’s put out in hand. The duo soon enter the ring and Vanessa, with a smirk, poses up on the middle rope to the audience’s adulation but the positive reaction wasn’t what she was looking for. With a defeated sigh she waits in the corner waiting for their opponents.
Seth Iser: That isn’t good. Don’t like the mumbling…don’t like that at all…
Axel Reid: The mumbling Seth? How’d you know? Explain yourself.
Seth Iser: We’re kin, Axel.
Ruby Parvati: What exactly happens when this alter ego comes out in full, Seth since you seem to know…and RDO seems to know, too.
Seth Iser: Everyone is in danger. And I mean everyone. English is too smart for his own good trying to pry into what’s inside her head like that…
Jerry Heisenberg: And their opponents...First, standing at 6 feet and 3 inches, weighing in at 265 pounds...From Des Moines, Iowa...Being accompanied to the ring by Theodore Thompson, EDDDWAARDDD MYYYEERRSSS!
Theodore Thompson struts out onto the stage with a microphone in hand and is met with a chorus of booing coming from the crowd. He stops on the stage and looks out at the fans, smirking sadistically as he waits for the booing to die down before he raises the microphone to his lips.
Theodore Thompson: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Theodore Thompson and I am out here to introduce the man who is my nephew and my client. So without further ado, allow me to introduce to you all, 'The Man Of Steel'...Edward...Myers!
Axel Reid: I really hate this guy…that introduction…
"Face The Pain" by Stemm blasts out of the PA system and as the song fully kicks in, Edward Myers walks out onto the stage, he stops and looks around at all the booing fans and he smirks before nodding towards his Uncle before the two of them begin making their way down the ramp. Once they arrive at the bottom of the ramp, Myers hops up onto the apron as Thompson makes his way up the steel steps and they both enter the ring before Myers climbs the turnbuckle and raises his arms above his head. Thompson stands in the center of the ring and applauds his nephew before Myers then climbs back down from the turnbuckle and walks towards the far corner as "Face The Pain" fades out.
Axel Reid: You talk about a kid who certainly has all the physical tools.
Ruby Parvati: One of the most put together athletes we have.
Seth Iser: You can have the physical tools…but I question what’s inside with him at the moment. Man is at conflict.
Jerry Heisenberg: And his tag team partner…Standing at 5 feet and 11 inches, weighing in at 170 pounds...From Toronto, Ontario, Canada...He is "The Modern Day Messiah" CASANOOVVVAAA ENGGGLLIISSHHH!
The crowd boos but there are some faint cheers heard as a shadow appears on stage as a lighter flicks burning the end of a cigarette “Whistle Pig” by Solace begins playing. Casanova steps into the light with his leather jacket hanging loosely on his shoulders he walks slowly to the ring puffing his cigarette. He slides under the ropes, he taunts at the crowd before firing off his light cigarette into the millions of mindless drones. Tossing his jacket to the corner he waits for the action.
Ruby Parvati: The man has a way with his words.
Seth Iser: Speaking from experience…English’s greatest strength is his greatest weakness…that sick mind of his.
Ruby Parvati: Isn’t that contradictory, Seth?
Seth Iser: Some of the greatest leaders in the world let the insides of their own mind get the best of them.
Axel Reid: English wants to equal us all in society…but there’s no doubt in my mind his ego won’t allow himself to be below anybody else and make sure he’s above the world.
Seth Iser: That’s been in history throughout time and it always repeats. In countries, in life, and in wrestling.
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings and it looks like Vanessa and Myers are going to start things off…and Myers is looking for a basic lock up but Vanessa darts around to the side of him starting to agitate him from the start. With a growl he throws a big right hand but Vanessa expertly ducks it before throwing a quick right handed jab of her own on the mark just to continue the agitation. Edward’s short fuse is starting to become unhinged very quickly with the redness on his face as he darts toward Vanessa with a clothesline attempt but Vanessa evasively rolls out of the way and as soon as Myers stops his own momentum at the ropes, he turns around and eats a dropkick from Vanessa and Myers rolls over to the corner where English is barking orders at Edward to cool off.
Axel Reid: What on earth is she doing?
Ruby Parvati: Is she mocking him by having too much fun with the dodging?
Axel Reid: Or is this a game plan.
Seth Iser: Neither.
Axel Reid: What? You mean to tell me that this isn’t a planned attack by Vanessa at all?
Seth Iser: Correct. I can’t predict what she’ll do and she’s the only active wrestler currently wrestling today that I’ve allowed to visit my house and see my daughter. We’ve rode together…traveled together, everything…but it is impossible to predict what she’s going to throw at you in any circumstance in any match.
Myers perks up as English tags himself in, a calmer expression on his face as Edward is still seething mad over the exchange. Vanessa has a twitch go over her eyes as English aggressively ties up with the decorated member of the Janason family. English immediately goes behind and has a waist lock and is gunning for a German suplex. He gets the woman off her feet but Vanessa uses leverage on the left arm with the rest of her weight to make sure she isn’t dumped over before she’s back on her feet on the mat and uses her feet to hook English’s left foot and then spin to execute a drop toe hold before tagging back into Rayne right away. English immediately rolls over and tags in Myers to a HUGE chorus of boos as Vanessa is in the corner muttering to herself and Rayne glares at the larger man that has just entered the ring.
Axel Reid: That damn English.
Ruby Parvati: Why sully your hands if you don’t have to with a commoner? Then again…I think he was trying to damage Vanessa hard and fast.
Seth Iser: I don’t think that’s his total aim here…look at Vanessa in the corner. Muttering…to keep her alter ego in. He might not have hit a decisive offensive move, but he succeeded in what he wanted to do on that exchange.
Ruby Parvati: English really is a genius then.
Axel Reid: He’s just as much as a coward as he is a genius.
Rayne sees the larger man, still a little agitated from his earlier experience with Vanessa, and goes with lower leg strikes to the back of the leg before the larger man swats her down with a simple shove and he lets out a roar to draw some boos from the audience. The roar, however, left him open to a big open palm strike to the jaw to rattle him and to continue to get his temper to boil. This gets him to start running to get in motion as he tries a clothesline but Rayne ducks that and begins running as well in the opposite direction. They bounce off the rope and as they approach each other in the center Rayne takes the big guy off his feet with a spinning heel kick!
Axel Reid: That remind you of anything, Seth?
Seth Iser: Myers is like a younger version of myself in a couple respects on that one…just don’t know if he’ll get the knowledge yet.
Ruby Parvati: He certainly has the muscles for it.
Axel Reid: Uh…I mean what Rayne did…remind you of anything…like last week?
Seth Iser: No comment, Axel.
Rayne looks to follow the advantage by grounding the man with an armbar to try to neutralize some of the power. The joints in the elbow seem to be the target because of how she’s grinding her own elbow into that joint. Myers, in his youthful strength, rises up and pushes Rayne back and as soon as she bounces the ropes, English sneaks in with a knee strike to the spine to get her to stagger…and from that kneeled position Myers launches into the staggering Rayne with a violent superman punch!
Axel Reid: That devious English again with illegal interference in this tag team match.
Seth Iser: One game changer setting up another after Rayne took that moment to try to take away Myer’s biggest asset in this match…his power.
Ruby Parvati: She probably shouldn’t have gotten that close to a larger man. She got herself vulnerable from behind like that.
Myers takes the quick chance to go for a snappy cover with his forearm across the face of Rayne.

3-NO! KICKOUT BY RAYNE!
Axel Reid: Too early for the pinfall on a double tough Rayne.
Seth Iser: I don’t know if this was Myers thinking but veterans who sometimes go for those covers like that use them to wear people out.
Ruby Parvati: Fatigue makes everyone a wimp…especially in be—
Axel Reid: Woah woah! Not right now!
Myers drags Rayne to her feet quickly and after a pointed kick to the stomach lifts her up for a delayed vertical suplex. Rayne is kicking her feet trying to counter out of the situation but Myers then suplexes her back down to the ground and the natural instinct of Rayne is to sit up to get less woozy but after this Myers finally tags in English who has Rayne right where he wants her. A dropkick to the small of the back follows on this assault and English makes a violent cover with his forearm over the face of Rayne.

3-NO! KICKOUT BY RAYNE AGAIN!
Seth Iser: Rayne won’t quit.
Axel Reid: Of course she won’t, Seth. She’s got the heart of the warrior beating through her chest!
Ruby Parvati: I hate when you get into things like this Axel…unless you start cursing…Cursing makes you super sex-
Axel Reid: OH MY GOD! Casanova is relentlessly firing with forearm shots right to the face of Rayne! My goodness!
English is unloading with shot after shot as the referee is forced to step in and pull English off of Rayne. English hits the ropes before leaping up into the air and dropping a knee right on the face of Rayne. He drags her into his team's corner and tags Myers in before holding her down to the mat and allowing Edward to come in and stomp away at her mid-section while she's grounded. Vanessa is irate at the double team as she tries to enter the ring to save her partner but the referee is quick to make sure she goes no closer, giving Casanova and Edward an opening to place Rayne in the corner and use their boots to choke her.
Axel Reid: No mercy from these two...They've split the ring in half and they're keeping RDO in the half that benefits them.
Seth Iser: It’s tag team wrestling.
Casanova finally exits as the referee refocuses his attention on the match. Myers scoops up RDO and slams her between his legs as he drops to a seated position, he lifts both her legs up in a pin attempt.

2-NO! RAYNE ONCE AGAIN KICKS OUT!
Seth Iser: Michinoku Driver. Americanized version of the move.
Edward is starting to become visibly frustrated as he rolls onto his feet and roars. English, from the apron, is calmly but sternly speaking to his new acquisition in an effort to calm him down. Myers channels his anger in a different manner as he charges and knocks Vanessa off the apron with a clubbing blow! As he leans against the corner, running his hands through is wet, black hair... He drops to a squat as the crowd is buzzing.
Axel Reid: Rayne has kicked out of some harsh stuff tonight, including a Michinoku Driver, a move I didn't think Edward possessed. One can imagine he had taken a page out of the Omega's book....And now he's going back into his arsenal.
Ruby Parvati: He's about to break RDO in half with this Bitter End.
Seth Iser: I doubt I’d be opposed too much to that.
Axel Reid: Of course you wouldn’t oppose that…you cold hearted…well nevermind.
Rayne staggers to her feet and she turns around as Edward charges at her....his patented spear is avoided as Rayne side steps it, sending Edward shoulder first into the post! Casanova tags himself in, realizing his team is in danger, but on the other side of the ring Rayne has tagged Vanessa in as the crowd erupts!
Axel Reid: Rayne dodges The Bitter End, English is in but so is Vanessa....and she is unloading on Casanova!
Vanessa is firing away with shots to the face as she pushes English into the ropes, before whipping him off to the other side...He bounces off and, in fluid motion, is met with a bicycle kick from Vanessa! Myers, who has recovered from his shoulder being met with the steel post, spins Vanessa around but is met with a surprise forearm shot, she hits him with another, and another, and then another as he staggers around on his feet. Vanessa charges at the ropes and handsprings off of them as Edward staggers toward her, he gets caught with back elbow that takes him down. Vanessa leaps on top of him but there is no count...She glares at the referee who informs her that Edward isn't the legal man. Just as the referee warns her English, the legal man, charges in with a dropkick from out of nowhere!
Ruby Parvati: Where the hell did he come from!? Dropkick to the back of the head!
Seth Iser: He was waiting for this chance…and now he has it.
Casanova rolls Vanessa to her feet and applies a front facelock on her before hauling her up and slamming her head and back first onto the mat with a beautiful brainbuster suplex combination! Vanessa sits up, anger set in her eyes as English grins slightly...
Seth Iser: Shit…this isn’t good.
Axel Reid: Uh oh...The look in the eyes tells the whole story, The Queen has officially been tagged into this match.
Ruby Parvati: Is that a mistake or a genius idea on the part of Casanova, though?
Seth Iser: Like I said earlier…the line between genius and insanity.
The Queen slaps the mat as she rolls onto her feet. English follows suit but is met with a vicious discuss punch. Edward Myers is back in the ring and he is met with a discuss punch, English is on his feet but once again taken down, this time with a stiff forearm shot! The Queen is laying into both men until they realize that getting back up is pointless and they both roll out of the ring to recuperate! Queeny is on a rampage as she scares the referee into the corner even!
Axel Reid: Vanessa...I guess...has lost complete control of her...alter ego in The Queen?
Seth Iser: If we didn’t have to do our jobs here on the desk…I’d advise you to run.
Rayne is screaming for Vanessa to regain control of her inner demon, The Queen ignores the calls however and is more focused on inflicting punishment on her opponents. She bounces off the ropes, knocking off RDO in the process before charging and DIVING THROUGH THE ROPES AND CRASHING INTO BOTH CASANOVA AND EDWARD!
Ruby Parvati: The Queen is running wild over everyone in sight, the referee, her tag team partner and most importantly Casanova English and Edward Myers!
Axel Reid: Suicide Dive to the outside! The Queen grabs ahold of Casanova and rolls him back in the ring, my word what chaos!
Seth Iser: Combine an already masochistic Vanessa with this…mean streak the Queen alter ego has. This is the result…a pay off no matter what happens on an outside dive like that.
English rolls onto his feet and awaits from The Queen to get to her feet before looking for a clothesline, The Queen ducks and instead of hitting the ropes, stops in her tracks. She spins English around and goes for a hard right but English staggers back and instead is tagged in by Myers. The crowd erupt into boos as Myers hits the ring.
Axel Reid: Casanova was gonna get it good from The Queen and he damn well knew it! Myers is in now to do his heavy lifting. He's snuck around with blind slides all night that Casanova.
Ruby Parvati: When you got a wrecking machine like Edward Myers, you gotta' use him!
Seth Iser: He’s going to have to think for himself on this one though considering English’s physical condition.
Myers delivers a big boot right to the mid section before slamming his huge arm across the back of The Queen. Casanova is calling for him to make sure he strays away from the head as it's quite visible that The Queen and Vanessa are jockeying back and forth, with The Queen prevailing. The Queen clutches her head as Edward uses the distraction to apply a front facelock, hoping for a vertical suplex. He hoists her up in the air, holding her up as the crowd count the duration. At about 20 seconds, The Queen starts to shake her legs around and as Edward falls back she twists her body AND LANDS ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD RATHER THAN HER BACK! Casanova sneers in frustration and annoyance on the corner as Edward hooks her legs for a cover!

3...?
NO! KICKOUT BY VANESSA!
Seth Iser: That’s a relief…never thought I’d say that after seeing her dropped on her head again but…for the entire safety of everyone…we’re safe again.
Axel Reid: You think Vanessa has regained control?!
Seth Iser: Vibe is different Axel. I can feel it. She has.
Ruby Parvati: But you never know with that lunatic...I do know that she's losing brain cells every time she gets dropped on her head.
Seth Iser: But I do. Besides… I don’t think that’s what English wanted though Ruby…all this talk about losing brain cells…either Edward had brain fade in terms of a strategy meeting or this is why people have always thought for him to this point.
She's rolls out of the pin and kips up to her feet as the facial expressions that is synonymous with The Queen have vanished. Myers rolls to a kneeling position, a look of shock plastered on his face at the sudden surge of energy from Vanessa as she unloads with kicks across his chest. Myers suddenly grabs her around her waist and lifts her off her feet as he staggers onto his own feet. Vanessa slides through the back and onto her feet AND GRABS THE HEAD OF MYERS FROM BEHIND.....SMACK!
Axel Reid: deViate! VANESSA HITS THE DEVIATE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!
Rayne charges in the ring and takes down Casanova who tries to intervene...Suddenly someone from the crown jumps the guardrail with a steel chair in hand, moving fast!
Ruby Parvati: Who the hell!?
Seth Iser: What in the hell?
The figure, feminine in structure... with a full phantom of the opera-esque mask concealing most of her face and hair pulled tightly back, slides in the ring (much to the referee's disdain)... and
BAM!!!
A massive steel chair shot across the back of Vanessa! Rayne sees this and slides back into the ring....
BAM!!!
RDO drops to the canvas as the attacker drops the chair...
DING! DING! DING!
Axel Reid: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! Who is SHE?!
Myers sit up and crawls to the ropes, pulling himself up as English slides in the ring...A scowl on his face.
Ruby Parvati: I think I know... and that's why I say this-- Get out of there Casanova! Edward! Both of you!
...The scowl transforms in a grin as the crowd jeer... and the mask comes off to fully reveal who it is...
Axel Reid: I HAD A FEELING IT WAS HER! WHY IS CERA OUT HERE?! WHY DID SHE DO THAT?!
Seth Iser: I’ll be damned…
English grins wickedly pointing at Cera over and over again as she expressionlessly stares down at the downed Vanessa and RDO, her pale eyes hovering on Rayne a bit longer as the ghost of a smirk crosses her lips.
Ruby Parvati: Casanova English just got himself an addition to his movement... Cera. My goodness..
Axel Reid: What the hell does this spell for VOW?!
Seth Iser: A new chapter in this young company Axel. That’s what it is.
Axel Reid: And what’s your involvement with this considering your…relationship with Cera?
Seth Iser: I’m not her nanny nor do I tell her what to do. She’s an independent woman free to do what she wants. I was just as much in the dark about this one as you are.
Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentlemen, due to outside interference...The winners of this match via disqualification...Vanessa...RDO....The Court!
English raises the hand of Cera as Myers raises the other hand....
Axel Reid: Vanessa and RDO...They sure as hell don't look like winners. Damn English! Damn him and his movement!
As the trio stands over the fallen Court members soaking in the disdain from the audience…Cera peers over and gives a nonchalant wave toward Iser over at the commentary desk. Iser doesn’t respond to this as both Axel and Ruby look toward the veteran in confusion. The sight of these three wrestlers however…united in the face of disdain from this audience however soaks in as we fade away from this scene before it turns into an unruly mob scene.
