“Hold Your Ground” by CAVO covers a new opening package for VoW Breakthrough following the success of Fate of the Gods II, VoW's biggest and grandest event since their inception in 2014. Once the video culminates, the scene switches to inside the sold out Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio, with various cameras showing the excited crowd enmasse. Many of the fans cheer and hold up their signs in the hopes of getting them noticed, and the energy is simply captivating from such a small venue, which VoW has become accustommed to over the past couple of years. Soon enough, a camera switches to Axel Reid and Ruby Parvati at ringside, both dressed in their prefered style of clothes for the latest edition of VoW's flagship show. Axel Reid: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to Breakthrough 47! Myself and my broadcast partner Ruby Parvati are here inside the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio and Ruby... have you finally gotten over the hangover that Fate of the Gods II gave us? Ruby Parvati: I really want to go back and re-live that event again! It was such a great time and an amazing spectacle inside the Xcel Energy Center! And my favourite people won their matches, so I was over the moon! Axel Reid: Indeed we saw rivalries settled... rivalries start... and championships change hands. But it's not about Fate of the Gods II anymore. It's all about tonight as we begin again here in Toledo! Ruby Parvati: Here of all places? I thought the event coordinator was joking. Imagine my shock... Axel Reid: Which you seem to have recovered from. Ruby Parvati: I'm keeping it inside. I'm sure my concerns will be justified soon enough. Axel Reid: Well... what a show we have for you all tonight, ladies and gentleman! We're going to be starting the night with Tag Team action, as the Orphanage's Matthew Robinson and Winter Pine take on Katalina Star and her compatriot Blink. Ruby Parvati: Correction... servant. That's what she is. She's an underling, and she won't be able to help Katalina against two people who represent the very finest and most prolific group in VoW history! Axel Reid: I'm sure Winter will want to keep her streak going after her emotional victory against Stacy Jones at Fate of the Gods... but after that match, we will have the first of two matches tonight that will determine two more entrants for the Quest For The Case at Heatstroke! Ruby Parvati: That Case did wonders for Ziu Zhong and Tyler Storm. I'm positive it'll do the same again for this year's winner. Axel Reid: In the first encounter, Rebecca Saint will take on Katie Moicelle in a match that has already got a lot of people talking. Ruby Parvati: Only because of what... you-know-who said... and because Katie is a loser. Axel Reid: But Katie has the ability and heart to win this match and regroup from her crushing loss. Ruby Parvati: What if she can't? What will she do then? Cry in a corner somewhere? Axel Reid: I don't feel like answering that... but the second encounter that will have a qualification place at stake will be Craig Anderson taking on "The Lady Joker Herself" Gwendolyn Massey! Ruby Parvati: Anderson has no chance... not after what Gwendolyn did to Rayne Draven-Omega! Axel Reid: But that isn't all. We will also have Kincaid in his first match back after a leave of absense opposing the newcomer and growing star Maxwell Soloke! Ruby Parvati: That will be a battle for sure... only because both of them are mentally fatigued. I know Maxwell definitely is after losing yet again! Axel Reid: You can't underestimate Maxwell, Ruby. He has the talent to get the job done... but he hasn't quite succeeded in that regard yet. But one match that will be a formidable battle for certain is the Triple Threat Match pitting Datura, Joanna Thade and Zahara Matisse against each other! Tonight! Ruby Parvati: Now THAT is a match worth watching! We could finally see Zahara snap and become just like her opponents! Axel Reid: One other person who has snapped would be Joanna Thade's Horsewomen Sister Talon, who takes on Tristan Ambrose! Ruby Parvati: She is scary when she's mad. Tristan will have to be on his A-Game to get passed her, especially with her sights set on the Zero Gravity Championship! Axel Reid: And in our Main Event, two champions will collide! It will be the new I4NI Champion Tyron Bickerton taking on the superbly-impressive Xcel Champion Constance Chapin! Ruby Parvati: This is Tyron's moment to shine! There's no more Heath Williams holding him back! He will go into that match doing what he does best... hanging WITH the best and giving them a fight to remember! Axel Reid: But Constance does the exact same thing. Either way, it'll be a match I'm sure you'll enjoy. Ruby Parvati: Hopefully more than this damn town we're in. Axel Reid: That didn't take you long, did it? Once Axel concludes his rhetoric question, the sounds of "Happy?" by Mudvayne blasts from the speakers, causing the Toledo crowd to cheer loudly as Ryan Omega walks out, donning a smart suit and a freshly-trimmed beard. Axel Reid: And this is how we're going to kick things off, with the arrival of Ryan Omega! Ruby Parvati: Shouldn't he be looking after his wife? He knows full well Gwendolyn Massey is in the building! Axel Reid: But will she have the nerve to confront him again, seeing as how he has a position of power in this company. - Okay, so this part is basically unfinished. Ryan will edit in his part later, but here are the important notes:
- Fate of the Gods II was a success, but a drastic change has occurred secretly behind the scenes. Stefan Frei, the long-operating CEO of VoW, has stepped down due to personal issues that have not been disclosed. As a consequence, Sky Sangue has now been appointed the CEO of the company.
- With VoW vacant of a General Manager, Ryan Omega was offered the position, and he proudly accepted the position.
- This is now Omega's Law, and he will do his very best to make sure VoW remains dignified and a place where wrestling truly thrives.
- Got all that? Okay, let's move on to something sinister... yet therapeutic for one individual... : Ryan. The familiar gruff voice on the interruption of the new general manager of VOW is Seth Iser as he marches through the curtain and the audience boos the man loudly. Iser doesn’t react at all to the people that’s hurling abuse toward him at this point and Omega studies the man wearing a black and blue pinstriped suit and his black hair cut short for the first time in his career in a bit of a stunning change. Iser enters the ring moving swiftly Axel Reid: Oh my God...that’s Seth Iser? Ruby Parvati: He cut his hair. He looks significantly better. Axel Reid: But look at his face, Ruby. It’s...scary. Seth Iser: I paid for the time out of pocket to say what I needed to say. It cannot wait any longer. Please. Iser’s rare use of formality raises Omega’s eyebrow before the former wrestler considers his former court member’s request for a minute before there is a subtle nod of the head and he begins to make his exit. The air of tension between the two is high though as Iser just waits until he eyeballs Omega’s exit before he turns to an audience that is booing him...and he’s just shaking his head. Seth Iser: Do I have your attention now? That one question...that familiar question draws the ire of many of the people in the crowd and they’re booing significantly louder as that struck a chord. But it isn’t so much out of malice that Iser delivered that one sentence...rather from his face...anger and pain. Wounded in tone. Seth Iser: Good. Because right now...there is a ton of things I have to say...and every single person in this building needs to hear it because as far as I’m concerned...you’re the ones who showed your true colors. I’ve been betrayed by allies...backstabbed by people in the company...but what you people did morally to me and my daughter with how you people have acted...I have never seen in my life and each of you are guilty of hanging me out to dry...all because of a bunch of lies you’ve believed all your lives. And you people should be ashamed for being played just like the old people and lunatic racists played the entire United Kingdom to get them kicked out of the EU. There are a few people who get where Iser is going right away and that vocal minority boos with such a passion that it feels like the entire building hates this man. And Iser just stands in the center of it all, shaking from his own fury...unwavering in his words. Seth Iser: You all got played...by the heroes you put on the pedestal. And you let them warp your perception of reality. I had more faith in you people to not be so damned gullible but you fell for it. And before you construe me as an unfeeling monster like many of you often do...you need to let these words sink in and realize I’m not a monster...I’m a human being that has been mistreated by the wrestling fans my entire career. And you were the perpetrators wound up by the heroes of this industry. Unlike Matthew Slater who abandoned his family as far as I’m concerned just to provoke a fight with me...I’m an honest man...a good father, and a professional wrestler that deserves more respect than the people you have given me over the past couple of months...and I’m sick of your scorn and judgment! There’s a pause in Iser’s words as the boo birds come in and it’s followed by a loud ‘Iser sucks’ chant that rumbles through. In the face of the angry response from the audience though Iser stands firm and angry. Seth Iser: Go ahead. Chant it if it makes you feel better but I know the truth. You people would rather cheer people who put their personal relationships out in the forefront just so their daily lives can be played out for you sick cretins. But the wrestlers who allow this end up getting humiliated like a certain pale wrestler did a few weeks ago. Yet all parties involved in the breakup and makeup are so damned stupid they can’t see how foolish they look when they do one thing in front of the entire world and then do something else. That puts them in the same boat as you and as Matthew Slater...and that makes you all hypocrites. There’s more boos from the audience as Iser’s venom is pouring through as if he’s venting everything off his chest. There’s even a vein on his forehead from the anger he’s let out but he doesn’t let it reflect on his voice. Seth Iser: Hell...you sycophants chant ‘This is awesome’ as two people mutilate each other in combat and war. It isn’t just the changing wrestler’s interests who have changed the industry for the worse...it’s YOU people. It’s that one last sentence that provokes passionate hatred from the audience and there Iser stands in the center of the ring in the middle of it all...not relishing in it. Rather...standing there with his message that needs to be said. Seth Iser: You don’t like it when I’m right do you? Never have, never will. And when I told you people and Slater to his face why I didn’t want to take the match...you booed. Yet I was pressured and had my arm twisted and when everything I said came to pass...once again...you booed. You booed me because I was right. And I know you people even as Matt is laying in a damn hospital bed...you want him to challenge me again. Right? The audience for the first time in this Iser speech responds positively as they would love another confrontation between the two with hopefully a different result. A loud ‘Slater’ chant starts to rumble through now and you can see the twitch in Iser’s eye at that. He just musters up all the menace he can though. Seth Iser: No. I don’t fight for free nor can Slater fight in a hospital bed. As Iser shakes his head at that, the audience obviously boos at those two facts. Seth Iser: You going to tweet that you’re pissed off at me? Go ahead and contribute to the ills of the industry by feeding into the B.S. that is the social media machine. You people demand that we interact with people like you and then make fools of ourselves in social media. Hell...you even demand people who HATE each other make peace in social media. Then the stupid kids who don’t understand the code of professional wrestling proceed to do just that...like the puppets on a string you make them. Do you think we’re robots to be wound up? Hm? Answer me! Since you love chanting that I suck or some vulgar profane thing...do you view us as robots? Iser gets a hodgepodge of answers yelled at from the audience that isn’t totally made out. And he just shakes his head. Seth Iser: You people are bigger idiots than the wrestlers who allow themselves to be lowered to your standards on social media. And I’m not blind to it any longer. You can’t fool me at this point. Not the greatest mind the wrestling industry has ever seen. Iser just shakes his head while mouthing the word no in absolute disdain for the people who bought tickets to the show. The fans? They’re booing Iser insulting them yet again. Seth Iser: It’s easier to be fooled than to realize you are being fooled. And it took me a while but it’s a fool’s errand to try to do right by you people even when it goes against the code of professional wrestling. My legacy in this industry is secure whether you people in the audience want to admit it or not. I’m one of the best this generation has ever seen lace up a pair of boots. I’ve proven that for well over a decade now! And as far as I’m concerned...I’m better than Matt Slater. Your longest, tried and true hero in this sport. There is something that hasn’t been heard in a VOW arena in a couple years...and it’s the vulgar ‘F*** you Iser’ chant and it’s ringing loud because of everything that’s been said. And this gets Iser shaking his head before he gestures them to bring it on. Seth Iser: Good job. Go ahead and chant it and encourage the youth to hate! Go ahead and continue the cycle where every day an abortion clinic gets bombed and their death toll is on YOUR hands because of YOUR encouragement of hate! You can’t leech on me for support like you do so many others in the back so send me all your hatred and me alone! All because people like you can’t handle the truth no matter how much it hurts you...and that makes you...a coward. The same word Slater has called me over and over again while insulting my family. Yes. I’m calling each of you cowards. The chant has stopped and it just goes for another round of booing before a battery is chucked at Iser’s head and this causes him to tilt his head ever so slightly to avoid it. This actually brings a semblance of a smirk on his face. Seth Iser: And for the record the person who threw that and the many of you who used a profane slur toward me should’ve been aborted. The pointed sentence from Iser gets a gasp from some people before the boos get even more intense. Seth Iser: Speaking of cowards, you know of how great Buffalo Wild Wings everyone says it is? I got a story about how that is as full of crap as your hero worship. W-- Iser’s cut off mid sentence the moment he mentions a sponsor by the microphone shutting off and then he taps at the microphone and the fans are booing even louder. Soon he barks at Heisenberg to give him his microphone to finish his speech, in a rage, and Jerry lets the angry man get what he wants. Seth Iser: You will NOT silence my complaints any longer! As I was saying, the idiots at Buffalo Wi-- The second microphone is cut out a second time and the fans boo more but it’s more directed at Iser’s antics and you hear him shout ‘You CAN’T silence the truth!’ as he immediately leaves the ring...enraged. There are a few fans shouting verbal abuse at him and Iser just returns a middle finger salute to him while mouthing something not appropriate for television. Axel Reid: I’d like to apologize for Seth Iser’s comments… Ruby Parvati: I’d like to apologize for your unneeded apology. That was therapeutic for the man in a way and he needs to let out everything. It was rude that he wasn’t even finished venting. |

Shaking Up The Twin City Division Axel Reid: Well... that was a start and a half, wasn't it? Ruby Parvati: It truly was, Axel. But let’s head backstage to Darius Yates who is standing by with a special guest... We then cut backstage as Darius Yates is standing by with a smile on his face and a microphone in hand. Darius Yates: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, a member of The Orphanage! “The Punisher” Matt Robinson! The camera pans out a little as “The Punisher” Matt Robinson appears on camera beside Yates, dressed in his wrestling gear along with his black “Breaking Necks, Ending Careers” T-shirt as the faint sound of the crowd booing can be heard. Darius Yates: Thank you for joining me, Ma-- Robinson holds up his hand, cutting the interviewer off before he folds his arms across his chest and shakes his head. Matt Robinson: You’re getting worse, Darius. First you failed to mention that The Orphanage is the most powerful force in this business! And then you failed to mention that I am the most dangerous man in VoW and the fact that I’m a wrestling God! The fans boo even more as Robinson looks on disgusted. Matt Robinson: Matter of fact! I’m going to leave...and you’re going to re-introduce me the way you’re MEANT to introduce me! He then walks off camera view and Yates lets out a sigh before looking back into the camera, this time without a smile. Darius Yates: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, one of the members of the most powerful force in this business, The Orphanage. He is the most dangerous man in VoW, a wrestling God. “The Punisher” Matthew Robinson... Robinson appears back beside him again with his trademark sick smirk on his face as he pats Yates hard on the back. Matt Robinson: Much better! That wasn’t so hard now, was it? Rolling his eyes unbeknownst to Robinson, the interviewer composes himself and the smile comes back. Darius Yates: Well Matt, ever since you put your latest victim on the shelf, Owen Gonsalves...you haven’t exactly really done anything since, so the question on everyone’s mind right now is, what’s next for The Punisher? Moving the microphone towards Robinson’s lips, he folds his arms again and places his hand onto his chin, stroking his beard slightly before tapping his bottom lip with his index finger, contemplating the question. Matt Robinson: Hmmm... Just then, his attention seems to be diverted as he looks up to his right a little. Matt Robinson: Hey, babe! Come here a second! After a few moments, Winter Pine walks into view with the sounds of further raining boos coming from the fans, wearing her own Robinson shirt along with her wrestling gear. She smiles as she rubs against Robinson's arm. Winter Pine: There you are, I've been looking for y...what is Jacks-bleep- Yates doing here? Robinson chuckles a little as Yates doesn’t look too pleased about the verbal abuse from Pine. Robinson then shoots him a glare, scaring the poor interview a little as he swallows hard. Matt Robinson: Don’t look at my Queen like that! Yates trembling a little, Robinson turns back to his fiance and smiles. Matt Robinson: He’s conducting an interview with me, doing a terrible job as usual...but he asked me a question that got me thinking. He asked me, what exactly is next for me here, and it wasn’t until I saw you that I finally got an idea. Winter Pine: Is that so? Tell me more then, need not hide ideas from your better half. Matt Robinson: Well I mean, just take a look at what is considered the tag team division here in VoW. You’ve got those pathetic wannabe cheerleaders, the Neon Babes... Winter Pine: All about the lights, little with the fight... Matt Robinson: Then we’ve got that stuck up bitch and her lap dog, known as Saint City Affinity... Winter Pine: Oh, the horrible cult leader and Mr. Cries Because My Best Friend Does Drugs... Matt Robinson: And don’t get me started on those two supposedly creepy, scary dykes from the Chaossworn! Winter Pine: Fake Shit One and Fake Shit Two, all talk and never a single bit of real bite... Matt Robinson: Speaking of dykes. There’s that new tag team consisting of two of those self-proclaimed Starbitch Girls? Casa de Kami. Winter Pine: Their way of living...my god, when you can make Katalina Star look like a saint, you know you have a severe problem. Matt Robinson: Exactly! And not only do all those tag teams suck...but they all seem to lack one thing...animal instinct... Winter Pine: Natural or inherent aptitude, impulse, or capacity. A tag team division just filled with talk...but, where's the fight anymore? Robinson nods in agreement at Pine’s comment as he turns back to Yates. Darius Yates: Speaking of Katalina Star, up next you two team up in our opening contest to take on the team of Katalina Star and Blink. Your thoughts on them? Matt Robinson: As we have said numerous times before, Darius. Their way of living is sickening! They disgust us...they should have no place here in VoW. We have two kids at home who like to watch this show, they watch so they can see their Mommy and Daddy kick ass! And then we have skanks like pretty much every woman in this company except my Queen here, poisoning their poor innocent minds with their filthy way of life! Winter Pine: The sad thing is, at least most of the other girls try to hide it. Katalina struts around like her slutty nature is something to be proud for, like it's a trophy! To top it all off, I'm not even sure Blink should have to be pulled down with Kat! It's gonna be sad, having to destroy that pink-haired, weak minded girl. But to teach the dominatrix a lesson that her way of living brings on great consequences, we must tear away everything from her. Robinson smirks and nods again at his Queen’s comment. Matt Robinson: What we’re getting at Darius, and to answer your question first question, I think it’s about time that The Orphanage had a tag team to represent them! It’s about time that VoW had a tag team that is actually worthy of being called Twin City Champions! He chuckles as he places his arm over Pine’s shoulder. Matt Robinson: And what better tag team to have than one that consists of two of the greatest wrestlers in this industry today! “The Punisher” Matt Robinson...and “The Black Wolf” Winter Pine! Collectively known as... Robinson then turns to his Queen, seemingly allowing her to be the one to christen the new tag team with it’s name. Winter Pine: Animal Instinct. Of all the people in this company, Yates, we are the only two who consistently are willing enough to try and back up our words. Matthew Robinson is the most dangerous man in this company, he has shortened and ended careers, and he couldn’t give two shits about who stands in front of him. Winter Pine is the greatest psychological demon this business has right now, and I have the ability to not just ruin careers in this business, but also the lives outside of it. Don't believe me, go ask Stacy Jones what happened after I got through with her. NOBODY in VoW can compare to us, or The Orphanage. We are greatness personified... Matt Robinson: And if ANYONE dares to stand in our path? We will go right through them! With that, the two then disappear off camera, leaving Yates on his own as we cut back to ringside. |

Opening Match
Tag Team Match
Animal Instinct (Matthew Robinson & Winter Pine) vs. Katalina Star & Blink Jerry Heisenberg: Our first match tonight on Breakthrough is a tag team encounter set for one fall! "Awake & Alive" by Skillet blasts out of the PA system and the fans boo heavily as "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson and "The Black Wolf" Winter Pine both walk out onto the stage looking out to the booing fans, with sick and twisted smirks on their faces. Pine saunters over to Robinson and plants a rough kiss on his lips before she then begins to make her way down the ramp, licking her lips as Robinson follows her. Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing team number one! Making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 403 pounds and representing The Orphanage, they are "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson, "The Black Wolf" Winter Pine... ANIMAL... INSTINCT! Once both Robinson and Pine reach the bottom of the ramp, Pine makes her way over to the steel steps and climbs them as Robinson hops up onto the apron. He sits on the second rope, pushing the top rope up slightly allowing Pine to enter the ring first before he follows suit as they both climb opposite turnbuckles and drink in the incessant booing coming from the crowd. The two then climb back down and make their way to the centre of the ring, Robinson raising his arms above his head as Pine rests her body against his, giving a wicked wink into the camera as "Awake & Alive" fades out. Ruby Parvati: Well, the worst has happened... for everyone else in the tag team division, that is! Can you imagine a team more dominant than this loving tandem? Because I can't! Axel Reid: The talent is certainly there, but this is the first that I can recall that they've teamed up. I'd say that we'd best expect some rough spots before they get all the pieces put together. Ruby Parvati: Seriously? That's all you have? Two talents of this level, high enough that they get to rub elbows with the illustrious Casanova English, our World Visionary Champion, need no warm-up period! They're ready to go out of the box! And if they don't get a title shot at the Neon Dorks by Heatstroke it'll be a damn travesty! Jerry Heisenberg: And now, introducing their opponents! First, accompanied to the ring by Candi, from Malibu, California and weighing in at 129 pounds... Strife herself... KATALINA STAR! The slow guitars and beats of “Queer” by Garbage waver through the arena speakers, lights coming up in crimson and gold save for a single spotlight on the stage. Sauntering out to stand within that circle of light is Katalina Star, her ‘lion’ Candi following her out on hands and knees. Katalina looks out over the crowd and firmly strikes the business end of a leather flogger into the palm of her open hand, around the wrist of which is looped Candi’s leash. Giving the latter a little tug, she starts on her way down the ramp, carrying herself with pride and poise. Axel Reid: Strife of the Horsewomen, the only of the foursome to take a victory at Fate of the Gods II, makes her way to the ring with the always-precious Candi at her side. Ruby Parvati: That says a lot about that group, you know. Katalina stamped her ticket into the six-way case match at Heatstroke but tonight, she's drawn a woof ticket. She has to deal with two of the very best. At the bottom of the ring, Katalina gestures Candi forward, the blond scampering up the steps and onto the apron on all fours, holding the ropes apart for the dominatrix to enter the ring. Her motions are of such a fashion and pace as to immediately make most of the red-blooded males (and perhaps some females) in the crowd very jealous of the ring rope. Another tug of the leash brings Candi into the ring to sit at Katalina’s side as she stands mid-ring, savoring the reactions with utter satisfaction. After gesturing for Candi to leave the ring, she places her ‘weapon’ on the mat beneath the turnbuckles and hops onto the top one, crossing one leg over the other, her stare calculating and eager. Axel Reid: As highly as you think of Robinson and Pine, underestitmating this woman would be a big mistake. I personally don't like how their group handles things a lot of the time, but they are extremely driven and talented. Ruby Parvati: ...not gonna mention how she's shacked up with your personal favorite, Axel? Axel Reid: Why would I? It's common knowledge and I'm here to call the action, not talk about relationships. Ruby Parvati: Well, sor-ry! Jerry Heisenberg: And her partner... The lights hit to a darkened setting as a pulsing light comes in from the stage blinking (get it?) out over the crowd as they become nothing more than silhouetted figures. Eventually the pulsing light grows into a pink shade as Blink comes out onto the stage looking as though she has energy to spare. To one point Blink heads off to get a look at the crowd through the pulsating strobe light. No real flash or flare here as Blink turns and makes her way across the stage giving this area a little consideration before heading back to the stairs stepping down each one carefully. Jerry Heisenberg: ...from Lawrence, New Zealand and weighing in at 107 pounds... BLINK! Axel Reid: This young lady has impressed since her debut, winning some tough matches and showing a lot of heart and skill. She might be in over her head tonight, though. Ruby Parvati: Might be? She's barely a bill soaking wet, going in there against two of our most dangerous talents. Try again. The rest of her trek to the ring is a light jog as Blink runs through whatever hands or signs are outstretched trying to brush past them as gingerly as possible and doing a side step whenever needed. Through the jog, Blink slides into the ring and hops up to her feet stepping around over looking the crowd before putting her back against the ropes and outstretching her arms in a last minute warm up. Just a few bounces before Blink pushes herself forward into a slight jog to the other side of the ring where she begins walking along the side glancing out at the crowd as the lights set themselves up for future endeavors. Axel Reid: We've seen bigger upsets than people winning over Robinson or Pine, Ruby. Need I remind you that the woman you alluded to earlier, Zahara Matisse... Ruby Parvati: Ugh... Axel Reid: ...owns a win over Winter Pine herself? And only a couple matches into her career, no less? Blink is skilled enough to get the job done herself if she can stay focused. DING! DING! DING! After a brief discussion in Animal Instinct's corner, it's decided that Matt Robinson will start off this shindig. On the other side, Katalina takes the lead though she's obviously a bit wary of the Punisher, who seems to find this amusing... to the point that he taunts the dominatrix a little bit. Katalina's jaw sets for a moment, but then she simply smiles back in that saucy way she has. Robinson swings and Kat ducks once, twice... and brings him down after a haymaker right goes over her head with a drop toe hold. Immediately she tries to snare him in the Sweet Release but Robinson's long arms let him get to the ropes to break that up. Rolling back to her feet quickly, Katalina tosses her hair over her shoulder and holds her thumb and forefinger a fraction of an inch apart. Ruby Parvati: Oh, that's right... taunt him. That's so very bright. Axel Reid: He started it by being a jackass. If he can't take it he shouldn't dish it out. Fuming a bit but remaining mostly calm. Robinson gets back to his feet and tries to herd Katalina into one of the corners. Managing this, he drives a shoulder into her midsection, followed by a second. Leaping up onto the second rope to avoid a third shot, rolling across Robinson's back and delivering a pair of hard forearms to the center of his back. She's sent back with a sharp elbow from the Punisher, who turns and grabs her by the hair before hurling her back-first into the corner. A few kicks follow before he again uses the hair to his advantage, sending her down to the mat hard. A pin attempt only earns him a one-and-a-half count, whereupon he pulls Katalina to her feet by the hair. Axel Reid: Come on, referee! It's not like he's hiding what he's doing! Wrapping her into a chinlock, Matt forces Katalina down to a knee, really wrenching in the hold. Twice the referee checks it, making sure it isn't a choke, but Robinson keeps on the pressure, yelling back at the jeering crowd. He leans in after a moment, with Winter urging him on from the corner, and whispers something in Katalina's ear that makes her eyes widen considerably. Ruby Parvati: What did he do, tell her how impressive he is in the bedroom? It certainly got her attention. Axel Reid: I don't even want to know. Star fights her way up and tries to elbow her way out of Robinson's grip but doesn't do much more than bring a chuckle out of him. Turning to one side, Star slams a few more forearms into Robinson's back, making him let go but dooming her to a snapping neckbreaker that takes her down hard. He puts a foot on her chest and demands a count, but gets no further than he did with his previous pin attempt. Axel Reid: What a gentleman, this guy... Ruby Parvati: Were you expecting clean and respectful? Do you not watch this guy at all? Axel Reid: No, but I thought he'd have more class than this. What does Winter see in him? Ruby Parvati: Things no woman would ever see in you. Her attempts to get back to her feet result in Robinson shoving his foot against her head, not kicking her but simply rubbing his boot in her face, a couple times. Eventually he seems to bore of this, backing off as Katalina gets to her feet. She wastes little time when she gets there, falling back against the ropes once, feigning wooziness... before stepping in and belting Robinson with a slap across the face! The Punisher is tough as nails, as he'll tell you himself, but these slaps stop a train in its tracks! While he's checking his jaw and Winter is seething, Katalina kicks out one of his knees and grabs him by the head, blowing a sarcastic kiss to Winter before falling back hard with a snap DDT! Ruby Parvati: She spiked him! That's not fair! Axel Reid: Neither was the choking or hair-pulling, Ruby! Ruby Parvati: Winter is furious and she has a right to be! Axel Reid: Katalina has been watching Zahara with her own wicked DDT! And there's a pin attempt! ONE... TWO... Ruby Parvati: Kick out with authority from Robinson there! She should have expected no less! Axel Reid: He's back up quick, too, but Katalina has tagged in Blink... and there's a double-dropkick to Robinson! Back in Animal Instinct's corner... and he makes the tag as well! Ruby Parvati: The Big Bad Wolf has come to feed! Winter, still nursing injuries from Fate of the Gods, nevertheless comes at Blink in a fury. The smaller competitor evades Winter for a bit with her speed, laying in leg kicks and chops to keep her at bay but soon Pine has her by the hair and is delivering hard knees while she yells at Katalina. Star glares back but keeps from giving in to the desire to enter and help her maid. Blink is brought down with a swinging neckbreaker and Winter quickly follows up with a somersault senton. ONE... TWO... Blink kicks out after a very short two, but starts eating stomps from Winter before she's whipped into the far corner. Winter sets up for a big running knee only for Blink to duck quickly. Pine catches herself on the second rope, fortunately, but the swift Blink is already in motion, hitting a running front dropkick to Pine's back. The blow nearly sends her over the ropes and to the floor but again she holds on. Up on the second rope with her, Blink goes for a back suplex, getting stalled by a few elbows. Dropping back down, she stumbles a step as Winter leaps backwards off the turnbuckle, turning in mid-air for a crossbody that drives Blink down to the mat! Ruby Parvati: And that's how it's done, Axel! Speed only gets you so far! Axel Reid: Yet she still seems to have had enough out of Blink, now tagging Robinson back in. Ruby Parvati: Hey, she hasn't recovered from Fate of the Gods yet! At least she's in the ring, unlike a certain Stacy Jones! Axel Reid: Never at a loss for an insult, huh? Robinson grabs Blink by the pink hair, easily hoisting her up on his shoulders. Winter drives a front dropkick into Blink's head in her elevated position, returning the favor from earlier and sending the maid spinning to the mat painfully! Axel Reid: Thirst for Blood connects and Robinson is looking for the cover! ONE... TWO... Ruby Parvati: Guess there's not a lot of faith in Katalina for her employee, or did I not just see her about to step into the ring to break up the pin? Axel Reid: As if neither of your favorites, here, would do the same? Blink tries to create some distance from Robinson and herself when she shimmes out of his grip post-kickout, rolling under a right hand and back-flipping away from another! She delivers a dropkick to his knee, taking him down to her level, then delivers a nicely-executed bulldog that not only stuns the Punisher but lets her tag Katalina back in! Star enters in a fury, hitting the ropes to deliver a running leg drop across Robinson's chest at the same time that Blink delivers a standing moonsault! Katalina immediately goes for the pin... ONE... TWO... TH-KICKOUT! Ruby Parvati: That was too close! Axel Reid: Did I or did I not say... Ruby Parvati: Oh, shut up! Robinson is back on his feet quickly, both hands around Katalina's throat! He shoves her against the ropes, still working in the blatant choke, yet when the referee gets to four he tosses Katalina almost over his head and to the mat. She lands hard on her side but the momentum actuall lets her roll into the ropes and get back to her feet... which is good considering he's trying to take her head off with a big boot a moment later. Whipping around as she ducks his assault, Matt catches Katalina's hand as she goes for another slap, shaking his head with a twisted grin. Katalina responds with a dangerously low kick that, while it isn't illegal, it's about a hair away from being so! Ruby Parvati: What, not gonna call them on that one, Axel?! Axel Reid: Ref called it as clean. Who am I to argue? Winter tags herself in at this point, shoving Katalina back from Robinson who rolls out of the ring. The two women lay into each other with stiff forearms and punches, really trying to lay waste to one another! Owing to the damage done at the pay-per-view, Winter starts losing ground against Katalina, who backs her into the corner and unleashes several chops in a row, so fast that the fans can't keep up with the woo-ing that typically follows such onslaughts! Pulling Pine from the corner, Katalina sends her into the ropes hard, hoisting her up on the return and spinning her about into a ring-shaking spinebuster! Axel Reid: That might be it, Ruby! Pine's head bounced off the mat there! Hey, wait... what's Robinson doing?! Ruby Parvati: I'd call that taking out the trash! What he's doing is yanking Blink off the apron right in front of Kat and tossing her into the announce table, leaving the pink-haired woman curled up on the floor. He gets up on the apron then, daring Katalina to take a swing. She does, leaving Winter on the mat, but Robinson drops down and taps his finger against his temple in an attempt at mockery. Furious, Katalina grabs the top rope and swings through the bottom and middle strands, delivering a dropkick to the back of Robinson that sends HIM into the table as well. Rolling back into the ring, she backs up a few steps, smirking, not realizing that Winter is on her feet. Ruby Parvati: And... Frostbite! Axel Reid: Katalina never saw it coming, either! Ruby Parvati: They never do! That's the point! ONE... TWO... THREE! DING! DING! DING! Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners... WINTER PINE AND MATTHEW ROBINSON, ANIMAL INSTINCT!!! Robinson, having recovered from the dropkick, is met by Winter outside the ring as they have their arms raised. Winter wants another shot at both women but seeing the way she's moving has the Punisher holding his fiancee back. Blink, still woozy, rolls into the ring to check on a stirring Katalina, kneeling by her employee as she looks after the winners of the match. Ruby Parvati: Ah, being right is SO nice. Axel Reid: Going to ignore the fact that they were very close to losing more than once? Ruby Parvati: Yet, they still won. That's what's going in the books, Axel. Learn to love it, cause you're gonna see it more and more in the future. Animal Instinct backs up the ramp, savoring their victory before the scene changes to a brief commercial. |

This Is The Affinity Backstage, Darius Yates is shown in front of the camera, holding a microphone. Darius Yates: Ladies and gentlemen, the new VoW I4NI Champion… Tyron Bickerton. Fans boo as Bickerton walks into shot, championship belt draped over his shoulder. He obnoxiously smacks his gum, standing by the interviewer’s side. Darius Yates: Tyron, tonight, you find yourself in the main event, going one on one with the Xcel Champion, Constance Chapin. How do you feel about that match? Tyron Bickerton: How do I feel? How am I supposed to feel, do you think? Because everyone around here seems to preach the importance of being yourself and accepting people for who they are, yet they spend all of their time telling everyone else what they should do and how they should feel! So, tell me, Darius… How do you think I’m supposed to feel? Darius hesitates, bringing the microphone closer to his mouth before Tyron cuts him off. Tyron Bickerton: I wasn't seriously asking you. Look, I'm shocked, more than anything else. I'm shocked that it's taken management this damn long to realise what I'm worth! Next time we go live for Breakthrough, it'll have been one full year since I signed a contract with VoW. And in that time, a lot has happened - Stacy and Katie got engaged; Tyler and Zelda got married and had a baby; Stacy and Katie broke up; Tyler and Zelda got divorced; Zelda suddenly changed her name and started dating Stacy; Katie’s da-- Argh! The whole promotion has gone downhill - gone are the days of real competition! It seems like everyone’s more interested in having lesbian orgys instead of matches… This is supposed to be a wrestling company, isn't it? It's making me sick! He pauses for a moment, shaking his head. Tyron Bickerton: Back to your question… I’m also liberated. I finally get to look at everyone who ever doubted me as I stand over Constance Chapin’s broken body tonight, and spit in all their faces! I get to take the fact that I beat the unbeatable Constance, and shove it down all of their throats! Darius Yates: Well, erm… At Fate of the Gods II, you went to war with Heath Williams, emerging victorious as the new I4NI Champion, and-- Tyron begins chuckling to himself. Darius takes note, stopping in the middle of his follow-up question. Darius Yates: What's so funny? Tyron Bickerton: Oh, just thinking of all the people I proved wrong. Everyone expected Heath Williams to end me - to get his revenge - but now, nobody’s seen him since that night. He was a cancer, and I got rid of him. Hey! I cured VoW of cancer! And now, I'm the VoW I4NI Champion to boot! I'm one World Championship away from becoming the first-ever Grand Slam Champion in VoW history! Visibly annoyed at Tyron prattling on about his achievements, Darius decides to try and close out the interview - but, he’s cut off once more. Tyron Bickerton: And you know, I'm not the only one who has a big night tonight. My beautiful girlfriend, Rebecca… She gets to show everyone what she's capable of when she defeats everyone’s favourite little Disney Princess, Katie Moi-- His eyes dart from Darius and out of shot. Tyron Bickerton: Well, well… Here she is now! He smirks as Rebecca Saint strides into shot, carrying her custom Saint City Championship with her. Bickerton twirls her on the spot before she takes her place by his side. Darius Yates: Oh, Rebecca! So nice of you to-- Rebecca Saint: Excuse me? What'd you just call me? Darius shrugs his shoulders. Rebecca Saint: You haven’t earned the right to use that name. You will refer to me as Miss Saint. Got it? Darius Yates: I’m terribly sorry, Miss Saint. I wasn't expecting you, so I didn't have any questions prepared… Rebecca Saint: That's fine, I'm just going to talk, and you need to listen. I've been watching Katie Moicelle for months now, long before that crushing loss she suffered. I watched her continue to achieve and succeed, each time flying higher and higher. I knew that as her altitude increased, so would the distance she would plummet. And so, she did… Ace Watson clipped her wings, and now she's fallen...fallen...like a poor little bird… But, don't worry. The Cumberland Jet will fly again! I know she's reluctant now, but she’ll soon find out that her “friends” will betray her, and then she’ll make her way to Saint City’s shores. I will rebuild her and make her better than she’s ever been. She tilts her head, letting out a soft sigh. Rebecca Saint: In order to do that, I have to crush what little spirit is left inside her. This is a revolution for The Affinity, I can feel it! As the pair start to leave, Darius asks one final question. Darius Yates: Just quickly, Miss Saint… Can I ask you about Mimi? Rebecca’s completely uninterested in answering - she flips her head and inspects her nails - so Tyron steps in. Tyron Bickerton: Don’t worry about that, Darius. You’ll find out all you need to know later on tonight. They walk out of shot before the scene changes... |

An Enchanting Development Backstage, a familiar form stands before a mirror, the angle of our view just enough so as not to allow her reflection to be in view. Yet there’s no mistaking that top hat, the tailed coat or the skill with which her gloved fingers manipulate that wand. Perching that hat just so, Zahara Matisse turns from the mirror, a bright smile on her face as the crowd’s cheers echo down the hallway. For a moment, she closes her eyes and drinks in the reaction, bringing her right hand up with the palm facing skyward. With a snap of her purple-coated thumb and middle finger, a puff of blue flame ignites in her hand, giving her golden eyes a peculiar glow. Axel Reid: VoW’s resident magician, Zahara Matisse, looks ready for action tonight! I mean, considering that after Fate of the Gods, she has A LOT of redeeming to do. I mean, Ruby, she was close to becoming champion and she just went ahead and dropped the ball.. Just like the Golden Sta - Ruby Parvati: Stop it right now! I was going to say that I was impressed, Axel. You didn’t go for the easy joke but, of course, you seemed to have messed that up as well. But you’re right… it doesn’t look like she’s letting her second loss in a row to Constance Chapin weigh her down that much. But as we have learned prior to Fate of the Gods and post, looks can be deceiving - even for someone like Zahara Axel Reid: It’s a show of maturity.. Or the fact that she is REALLY good at her magical act, that she is able to mask her feelings inside the oversized top hat of hers? The loss hurt, but you have to move on.. While others have not be able to do such a thing, I am wondering if Zahara has? Ruby Parvati: Heh.. At that moment, Zelda Lawson arrives on the scene with a smile every bit as sweet as Zahara’s is bright. VoW’s veteran interviewer and host of The Vision checks her step, however, when she sees the blue fire in Zahara’s hand. With a cheeky wink, the New Jersey Sorceress clenches said hand into a fist, snuffing out the cerulean gout in an artful puff, dusting her gloved hands off. Zahara Matisse: Hello, Zelda! The petite blonde smiles in response, just the slightest bit perplexed by the vanished fire as she turns to the camera. Zelda Lawson: Ladies and gentlemen of the VoW Nation, I’m here tonight with Zahara Matisse, who later tonight will be taking on Joanna Thade and Datura in a triple-threat match! Axel Reid: The second time that War and the Enchanting One have clashed, Ruby. The first was not long after VoW’s favorite Magical Maiden made her debut. Ruby Parvati: But let us not forget that this is the first time either have met Datura in a VoW ring. And considering the results of the pay-per-view, I’d say Datura is the favorite to win here tonight. She snatched a win from Fury while Joanna and Emma flubbed a match against the Neons and, as is standard for Zahara, she failed for the second time to unseat Constance Chapin. Are you starting to see this routine starting up with some of the favorites around here ? Axel Reid: Harshly put, but no argument there, I suppose. When it has come down to showing that they can back their words up - not only Zahara has been put on notice but many others out there. It won’t be easy for any of these talented women to earn a win tonight. Joanna is much improved since those days and Datura has proven her mettle. Still… never count out the Enchanting One. Her full attention turned back to Zahara, Zelda poses her first question… Zelda Lawson: Fate of the Gods II couldn’t have gone down as you wanted it to, Zahara. In your second attempt to take the Xcel Championship from Constance Chapin, this time in an Xcel Rules Match, you fell short after verbally submitting to the Constance Sorrow. With your second title match resulting in your second loss in two straight pay-per-views, the question is… where do you go from here? Is it time to go for English? Might you try your hands at seeing if you can get into the Quest for the Case? Or maybe a much deserved break? Not for a moment did Zahara expect the always-professional Zelda Lawson to play softball with her. But that question stung a bit. Not enough to wipe the smile fully from the magician’s face, but enough to downgrade it, replacing the brightness with a decidedly more serious tilt. Zahara Matisse: The truth, Zelda, is that I don’t know. I gave Constance the best that I had, but she is the better woman. Not on that night, but period. The magician emphasizes that point, brooking no argument to the contrary. Zahara Matisse: My attitude is the same as it was after Nothing Else Matters: I’m walking with my head held high to the back of that line while others take their shot at becoming the Xcel Champion. And when I get there, I’m gonna fight my way back to the front and make another run at whatever champion is put in front of me. Nothing less will do. Those people out there? Listen to them! And the fans roar as if on cue, bringing some of the brightness and joy back to Zahara’s smile. Zahara Matisse: My best won’t always get me the win and championships and all that, but that’s no reason not to keep giving it! I do it for them, for my brother, for my friends including YOU, Miss Lawson… The Magical Maiden points at the tip of Zelda’s nose, making the blonde’s eyes briefly, yet cutely, cross. Zahara Matisse: ...and for anyone who ever dreamed big! Ruby Parvati: Seriously? I mean, come on! Axel Reid: What!? What did I miss!? Ruby Parvati: For one second! Just one damn second.. Could she, just for my sake… show a little anger at getting her tail kicked in?! Two times, she lost twice to the same woman and is proud to stand there all pretty. No, now I KNOW this is a part of her act! There isn’t any other way. All this ‘golly gee, I’ll keep doing better next time!’ crap is making me sick! Axel Reid: We have enough sore losers around here, Ruby! At least, she isn’t bitching and moaning like other people. Just once in your life accept that there are people who aren’t content to wallow in misery for your entertainment! Drawing the microphone back, Zelda nods to the magician’s answer and presses on. Zelda Lawson: That leads into my next question. Constance has a stranglehold on that Xcel Championship it appears. If you had the choice, would you rather make a third attempt at her or perhaps try for another title? The Zero Gravity or the I4NI, perhaps? Zahara Matisse: I’d wear any of them with pride. But it isn’t my time yet. One blonde brow goes up, but Zahara holds to her answer and keeps her smile in check. Zelda, with little choice other than to accept that answer, moves on. Zelda Lawson: You also had an… altercation with Winter Pine backstage at Fate of the Gods II. Words were exchanged and tensions were flaring.. That was the question that took the smile down several notches. Zahara’s gloved fingers curl and flex for a moment, a visual representation of the internal struggle to keep her poise. Zelda notes this but presses on. Zelda Lawson: Earlier tonight, she and Matthew Robinson teamed up to take on Blink and Katalina Star, two women who you’re closely associated with. Any thoughts on how that match turned out? Putting a small smile back on, one that her eyes betray as being a bit forced, Zahara seeks to answer Zelda’s question calmly. Zahara Matisse: My opinion of Pine and Robinson as human beings isn’t high. Anyone with a Twitter and functioning eyes can see that. And when it comes to Winter specifically, she’s done things in her career in VoW that even I can’t forgive. You have no idea how badly I wanted to deck her at Fate of the Gods… well, you probably do, actually. Knowingly, Zelda allows a slight nod but no more. Zahara Matisse: But I won’t argue against their talent. It’s just a shame they have to be so mean and nasty when they have the ability to win without doing so… Ruby Parvati: But what fun would that be? Seriously… if Zahara had just taken Robinson’s advice months ago, maybe she wouldn’t be skulking at the bottom of the proverbial barrel and instead wearing some gold! Axel Reid: So having standards is a bad thing? Look, I am not saying that you are wrong Ruby. I am not. Just look at the woman standing next to Zelda. She has this whole concept that she will get there one day. You cannot knock her for that. Now, I will say that IF, if she had taken that advice, who knows where she would be.. Maybe jobless? Ruby Parvati: Bottom line, Axel, is that what little respect I had for Zahara disappeared when she showed an utter lack of backbone by not striking back when Winter spit in her eye! In VoW, you can see that by the day, more people like Zahara are flocking her. No one with any REAL drive. No one who will stand up to someone just because or have this determination about them to where - doesn’t matter who - they will make it. You and I have been here since the beginning, VoW doesn’t need any many people like Ryder Blade and Katie Moicelle. Those people who rather downplay what happened and not take it as a learning experience and use it! Hell, Pine isn’t my favorite but if a bitch spit in my eye - let’s just say that she wouldn’t be using that mouth anymore. Axel Reid: Damn Rubes, a penny for your thought tonight? Ruby Parvati: ALL I ask for is someone to show Zahara that there is more to this business besides blue fire and a couple of sweet nothings! Someone.. ANYONE! Unknown: Mean and nasty? You actually believe that because of those two driving factors - that contributes to their winnings? No, if anything, them being a pair of jackasses actually compliments them. Contributes to their ‘ team chemistry ‘ but at the end of the day - you hit one hard and you hit the other harder.. They both will fall.. The fans notice the voice right away and let out a thunderous cheer. Zelda was a little perplexed due to the fact that she wasn’t expecting anyone else to be around. Zahara, on the other hand, wanted to know why. Axel Reid: Oh... My... Gawd! Could it be!? Rubes! You might be getting your wish! Ruby Parvati: FINALLY! Coming into the scene with her ring attire on, hoodie open and smile on her features was none other than the Lady Joker herself; Gwendolyn Massey. Looking at Zelda first before nodding her head and then towards Zahara who now had crossed her arms due to having her interview interrupted. Zelda went to move the microphone back up to her lips but Massey quickly stopped her and held up her finger. Waving it back and forth, she gently took the microphone away from Zelda. Gwendolyn Massey: Love what you do Zelda, but I think as far as this interview goes, it is now over. You see, Zahara, I have been watching you.. Along with a couple of others that I felt were interesting. The whole lead up to Fate of the Gods, the after effects and now.. Here. You all disappointed me a lot. As I stand here in YOUR presence.. I am trying to figure out, why are you pretending to be something that you are not? Why are you standing here, lying to Zelda, those fans who pay good money to see shit happen. You want to play pretend and see how it gets you through the night!? Right as Zahara went to say something, Massey cut her off. From the moment she was called a liar, a legitimate anger visibly welled up in the magician. Gwendolyn Massey: No! You see, I am not one of your little friends, I am someone who has taken an interest in your skills, what you can bring to this place and yet you rather hide behind that misleading smile of yours? Well, allow me to expose you. You are hurt.. And VoW Nation, I don’t mean that she is bruised, I mean she is CRUSHED. Constance did to you what many others have done to me in the past. You may think of this as me trying to STEAL your spotlight, or trying to attack you so that I can get in good with those ‘ bad guys ‘ who aren’t even doing their jobs right! Showing weakness and so on. No love, I am here as someone who intends on forming something. Zahara, how long do you believe your act will keep up before YOU catch up with yourself? How long do you believe that smiling and trying to stay positive will work before you burn out and everyone feels the wrath that you kept bottled up? You haven’t thought about that, huh? Lowering the microphone, she tapped her lips a bit before continuing Gwendolyn Massey: You were asked a series of question to determine where you were mentally, you dodged all of them. Oh, if I had another opportunity, I would take it. No, don’t wait for another one to come to you - you snatch it away and show everyone why.. We should respect you. You were asked about a match that doesn’t even concern you - only because of the association.. Again, you should’ve been focused on your star player. Right now, you have beef with someone who is looking past you. Someone who blantaly spit in your face. You shouldn’t be standing here having a conversation with Zelda, you should’ve been out there kicking ass and taking names. Zahara, you can either like what I am telling you or you can group up with your girls and hate me.. But what I am telling you is something that’ll end up making you stronger in the long run. Granted, you’ve been in VoW longer than I have. I will give you that, but you have NOT been doing this longer than I have. I have seen it all and done it all - it took a very long time to get to this place that I am in. If you truly.. Believed in magic, I suggest you do yourself a favor and make sure at the end of the night.. Winter Pine, Datura, Joanna… ANYONE who steps to you.. From this point forward, is a believer. But hey, who am I right? I am just the little joker who is placed in the deck without notice. If I were to leave, no one would miss me anyways, right? See you around.. buddy.. Gently handing back the microphone to Zelda as she patted her on her shoulder, Massey left the scene laughing to herself. Moving the microphone back up to her lips, Zelda exhaled before going on Zelda Lawson: Well, ladies and gentlemen, the Lady Joker herself just came in and said some really intense things. Zahara, any response for what was just said? Do you actually believe that Gwendolyn Massey isn’t trying to get at you almost like she did with Rayne Draven-Omega? There’s no other words for it: Zahara is glaring after Gwendolyn Massey as she walks away. She doesn’t appear to hear the question, but then she reaches up and clutches the microphone, and Zelda’s hand along with it. Zahara Matisse: I’ll give ‘em ALL something to believe in… Letting go, the magician storms off in the opposite direction, leaving a somewhat-concerned Zelda looking after her. |

Quest For The Case Qualifying Match
Katie Moicelle vs. Rebecca Saint Jerry Heisenberg: The next match is a Quest For The Case Qualification Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! First coming to the ring from Saint City... Rebecca Saint comes out at the top of the ramp as “Hello Bitches” begins playing, leading her “child”, Mimi Mai. She poses on the top of the stage as the crowd boos, with Mimi Mai being one of the very few people in the arena cheering for her. She strides to the ring with swag, sometimes looking around the crowd for any would-be members of the Saint City Society. Ruby Parvati: That is the baddest bitch in the game Axel. Jerry Heisenberg: Standing 5'8 weighing in at 135 pounds. . . She climbs into the ring, posing once again as Mimi stands by her side, worshiping her. Jerry Heisenberg: REBECCA SAINT!!! The drums of “Never Turn Back” by Crush 40 begin to play throughout the arena, alerting the fans that the next match is about to begin and causing them to cheer at the recognition of the song. "Whoa, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAA-AAAAAAAAAAH!" With much gusto, Katie Moicelle pops out from behind the curtain with a genuine smile on her face, beaming with confidence, with her girlfriend, Claire, trying to keep up right behind her. Axel Reid: Here she comes all fired up. Sadly the former Zero Gravity Champion after that heartbreaking loss to Ace. Jerry Heisenberg: Accompanied to the ring by Claire Daniels... from Crossville, Tennessee, she stands at 5'4", and weighs in tonight at 117 pounds... "The Cumberland Jet..." KATIE MOICELLE!!! "It's been a long, rough road, but I'm finally here. I move an inch forward, it feels like a year. Everything I feel seems so unreal, is it true? Is it true?" Ruby Parvati: Ace earned it. Katie should have been more ring aware. The couple walk down the aisle, slapping high fives with everyone in the cheering crowd that they possibly can. As soon as Katie gets to ringside, she runs and slides into the ring face-up under the bottom rope. She gives the crowd a thumbs-up as "Never Turn Back" fades out. Katie glares at Rebecca with intensity who only returns the same look. They circle each other before the bell even rings. DING! DING! DING! Katie shoots in first looking to take Rebecca down, but the technician makes Katie look like a fool slipping in behind her and taking her to the ground. She locks in an ankle lock as Katie lay on her tummy. Ruby Parvati: There we go break it and get it over with Saint. Katie kicks Rebecca off and rolls up to her feet lunging at Rebecca wildly and uncharacteristically. Katie starts lighting up Saint with knife edge chops in quick succession. Rebecca is pushed back nearly to the ropes and pops her with an elbow. Axel Reid: Katie is pushing back against Rebbeca hard. Look her he go with this flurry. Katie hits a toe kick that staggers Saint. She steps back to the other side of the ring and nails Rebecca with a spinning elbow the crowd is on their feet. Katie being knocked off balance lands right on top of Saint for the pinfall. 1 2 KICKOUT! Rebecca said kicks out in two, and is to her feet with almost the same quickness. She wipes her lip and glares at Katie nodding. Ruby Parvati: Katie may not have won there, but she let Saint know she came to play tonight. The former champion seems to be having some issues with losing that championship. Mentally she seems different. Rebecca lunges for Katie, but it is her turn to reverse tackling Rebecca and landing several punches as Saint tries to roll her off. Katie hangs in there though and continues landing strike after strike from the top position. Saint stops rolling and now tries to block putting her forearms up, but Katie just keeps those jabs weaving through the guard. Katie gets up letting off Rebecca and paces the ring from side to side. Ruby Parvati: Wow... Axel Reid: Katie is coming to life here. She is putting all the passion she has into this match. I actually feel sorry for Saint for being in the ring with Katie right now. I honestly never though the shoe would be on the other foot. Katie could set up for her finisher, but not yet. The crowd stars. “You Wa SHOCK!” “You Wa SHOCK!” “You Wa SHOCK!” “You Wa SHOCK!” Axel Reid: The crowd wants it here tonight, but I am sure Rebecca Saint does not!!! “You Wa SHOCK!” “You Wa SHOCK!” “You Wa SHOCK!” Katie kicks Rebecca in the left knee dropping her to it. Katie: MUDAMUDAMUDA! Katie starts landing those lethal strikes. One after another lighting fast as Saint is there on one knee like a punching bag. Katie: MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA! Katie is nailing Rebecca over and over. Again with much effort Rebecca pulls her hands up, but Katie keeps weaving through them landing almost every strike with lighting quick velocity. Ruby Parvati: Katie is going to turn Rebecca Saint into ground beef right here. Mimi looks worried. Katie: MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA! Katie is still teeing off all the while the crowd is still begging her cap it all off. “You Wa SHOCK!”“You Wa SHOCK!”“You Wa SHOCK!”“You Wa SHOCK!”“You Wa SHOCK!” Katie leaps into the ropes and comes off with the roundhouse kick as Rebecca was just establishing herself to a two legged base. Axel Reid: “You Wa SHOCK!” Katie sit on the ground breathing hard for a second. She listens to the crowd embracing the moment as she gets to her feet and slowly pulls herself up to the top rope. The Ohio crowd pops huge as Katie signals and leaps. Ruby Parvati: What a 450 splash! Axel Reid: OH! What a reversal!!! Rebecca rolls out of the way at the last second letting poor little Katie smash her face of the canvas. The crowd boos as Rebecca grabs the ropes trying to pull herself to her feet. Ruby Parvati: Saint has that ring awareness Katie lacks. I mean she has improved... but as Stu would say... she is not relevant. Axel Reid: Please Ruby, we have been informed that that name will no longer be spoken, or associated with VoW. Saint decides to wake Katie up with a knee in the back. She pulls Katie back by the throat into the knee. Saint: You like that! How do you like me now. Saint violently throws Katie face firs back into the canvas. Katie rolls on the ground holding her face. As she rolls on her back Saint kicks her in the gut forcing her back over onto her backside. Saint leaps coming down with a splash for the cover. 1 2 KICKOUT! Axel Reid: Kickout by the former Zero Gravity Champion. Saint doesn't seem to mind pulling Katie up. She wraps her arms around her waist and pulls Katie up who kicks her legs, but it has no advantage as Saint pulls her overhead slamming her to the mat with a German suplex. Ruby Parvati: OH! What a move by Rebecca Saint, and I don't think she is done yet. She owes Katie for all those punches to the noggin. Rebecca does not let go of Katie’s waist and instead bring them both back up to that feet. Rebecca once again lifts Katie over head and slams her down to the mat with a German suplex. Axel Reid: Rebecca Saint is showing some technical ability and strength, but look at Katie after taking those two German's she is back to her feet ad trying to break the hold by twisting the wrists of Saint. Up Katie goes one last time as Rebecca Saint grunts slamming once again with the German Suplex. Rebecca looks like she wants to twist Katie up some more, but shes does the smart thing and makes the cover. 1 2 3!!!! KICKOUT! Axel Reid: That is my girl Katie don't give up. Ruby Parvati: Your not falling in love are ya Axel? She likes to munch rug if ya know what I mean. Axel Reid: I didn't mean it like that. Look at how much heart she has, she didn't have any wrestling background and she became a champion. Katie is just sitting up when Rebecca Saint locks in a sleeper hold The crowd boos loudly at the slower pace of the maneuver and the fact that Katie is near out cold already. Axel Reid: Rebecca is smart I have to give her that. Saint locks the hold in deeper and deeper it seems, and Katie almost falls to one side. With a burst of strength she tries to get up and break the hold. Saint snaps her back down on the first attempts, but the second time Katie elevates a little and pulls Saint right over her head for a cradle. 1 2 3!!!! KICKOUT! Saint gets out in the last second. Ruby Parvati: That was a good move by Katie. She almost stole one. Saint comes back around looking to kick Katie's head off, but Katie lies don ducking the shot and takes Saint to the ground with a inverted DDT! Axel Reid: They are really going back and forth here. Saint is not long getting up. Katie attempts to whip Saint the ropes, but she is over powered and sent to the ropes herself. Katie much to Saint's surprise comes off the ropes with a You Wa Shock! Ruby Parvati: OH! Rebecca ducks under the kick and a roll up. Axel Reid: She has a handful of tights. Rebecca has a handful of Katie's tights pulling her ass out slightly. The ref counts not seeing the illegality of the maneuver. 1 2 3!!!! DING! DING! DING! Saint rolls off of Katie and out under the ropes with a grin as “Hello Bitches” blares from the PA. Axel Reid: I don't believe it. She stole that one Ruby. She took it from Katie at the last second. Jerry Heisenberg: Here is your winner and entrant into the Quest For The Case Match at Heatstroke... REBECCA SAINT!!! Katie is left in the ring readjusting her tights and arguing with the ref. She pleads her case to no avail and shakes her head in disappointment. Katie looks like she did when she lost the belt at Fate of the God's as if she is going to cry. As if her world has been shattered. Axel Reid: It has been tough for Katie losing Stacy, then the Zero Gravity strap. Claire Daniels slides in the ring to meet Katie, but she barely looks at her girlfriend as she steps through the ropes and proceeds to the back. Ruby Parvati: Well when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Distraught, Katie stares at the canvas as a jubilant Saint backs up the ramp, holding her arms eye with an enormous smile on her face before we cut to a quick commercial. |

Zero Gravity As we come back from commercial, the lights slowly drop to darkness. A pause is held. A long pause. Almost long enough for the fans to become uncomfortable, and start questioning to each other whether this was intentional or not. Axel Reid: Not entirely sure what's going on here… Ruby Parvati: The lights are off, Axel. Then, a video montage from Fate of the Gods II starts playing on the big screen... and as if to rub salt into the wounds of what the fans have just witnessed, it is of the Zero Gravity Championship Triple Threat Match. Tristan is in control as he hauls Ace up once more, and sets it up. The Last Word. He shoots his finger guns at the fans and slams Ace Watson down into the mat face first with all his body weight behind it. Tristan rolls over.
Ruby Parvati: NO! That may be it for Ace. . . The Last Word has been hit.
1
Katie Moicelle: "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA"
2
Katie Moicelle: AHHHHHHHH!!!!
3!!!!?
“CRACK!!!!!”
Axel Reid: KATIE HIT THE HOKUTO NO KEN ON TRISTAN. . . HE IS OUT COLD!
Katie raises her hands up the crowd who cheer loudly as she clutches her abdomen. She lay over Ambrose exhausted.
Ruby Parvati: I don't believe it!
1
2
3!!!?
Katie: AHHH!
Katie is hauled up by her hair as Ace comes to breaking the pin. Ace kicks her in the stomach and throws her through the center rope. Ace jumps high into the air dropping an elbow on the already defeated Tristan. Ace covers hooking the legs and kicking his own with enthusiasm.....
Ruby Parvati: YES! Ace Watson with a devastating elbow drop!
1
2
3!!!!
Axel Reid: He just picked up Katie's scraps!!! Come on Katie break it up! Kick out Tristan! ANYTHINGGG!
Katie is just sliding in the ring as Ace slides out grabbing the ZG Title frantically from the time keeper. He is laughing hysterically outside the ring as Katie runs her hands through her hair on her knees looking over Ambrose who is just coming to.
Axel Reid: She didn't even get pinned. All her hard work.
DING! DING! DING!
Katie is in the ring; it looks as if tears are welling up in her eyes. Not so much sad for the loss, but sad because she worked so hard to obtain that title. To keep it. She shakes her head at Ace who points and laughs. Tristan looks on with anger as he slides from the ring.
Axel Reid: This is ridiculous. . . Ace weaseled his way into this match. He stole the win from Katie. There are so many others who deserved the shot.
"Liebe ist fur alle da" by Rammstein pours from the PA as Jerry attempts to scream over it.
Jerry Heisenberg: YOUR WINNER. . .. AND NEWWWWW VOW ZERO GRAVITY CHAMPION!!! ACE WATSONNNN!!!!!We see Ace scurrying off with the belt in hand, laughing and pointing at Katie Moicelle. The video shows Tristan Ambrose’s angry reaction again, in freezeframe. It lingers on that shot for around ten seconds, then fades to Katie’s sad and defeated expression. It slowly zooms in on her tear-filled eyes, as the shot lingers and lingers for almost twenty seconds then suddenly cuts to black. Axel Reid: Now that's just cruel. Does whoever made this not know how much the Zero Gravity Championship meant to Kati- The lights flick on in a flash and “Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da - Instrumental” by Rammstein hits causing a loud roar of boos to fill the arena as soon as the beat hits. Axel Reid: Oh of course he's behind it! Ruby Parvati: Shut up this is my favourite bit. Ace Watson steps out from behind the curtain, Zero Gravity Championship on his shoulder and a proud, arrogant look on his face which would send even the most peaceful person into face-punching mode. He is dressed in a black and grey suit, his hair messily slicked back and his beard trimmed perfectly. Ace walks slowly down the ramp, taking in every boo and inappropriate-for-younger-ears word shouted at him. The “ACE YOU SUCK! ACE YOU SUCK” chants don’’t take long to kick in, but Watson looks unphased. He keeps looking at the belt placed over his shoulder as he dragged out the walk as long as possible. Axel Reid: Take your time, Watson. Ruby Parvati: Yes, please do. Finally Ace reaches the ring steps, which he climbs slowly too. Watson then stands at the top of the steps and turns to the crowd, finally acknowledging them, and he gives them a grin to show how little he cared. Ace steps into the ring through the middle rope and stands in the centre of the ring. He pulls a mic out of his pocket and raises it as if he was about to speak, just before he could open his mouth though the “ACE YOU SUCK!” chants somehow get louder. Watson turns to the fans again, with a slightly impressed look on his face. The chant continues for a few moments then dies down, until Ace testingly raises the mic to his mouth again and they resume back at their previous levels of volume. The chants and boos continue for a while, then dip down again. Ace puts the mic to his mouth again, a smile on his face clearly knowing what’s going to happen next as the chants and boos ignite again. Ace laughs mockingly at the crowd, as he turns and looks around at them all. Watson looks at the belt again, then raises the mic to his mouth. The boos louden once again but this time Ace shoves the mic back into his pocket, hoists the Zero Gravity Championship off of his shoulder and lifts it high into the air. “ACE YOU SUCK! ACE YOU SUCK! ACE YOU SUCK! ACE YOU SUCK! ACE YOU SUCK!” He holds the title there, looking up at it proudly. Then, after Ace had let the fans repeat their new favourite three word phrase a few more times, he placed the belt back on his shoulder and pulled the mic back out of his pocket. Ace Watson: Just keep on lying to yourselves, because no chant can deny the fact I am... He begins to raise the belt again, slowly this time as he speaks. Ace Watson: Zero… Gravity… CHAMPION! The fans boo, this time without any chants. Ace keeps the belt in the air, the proud look back on his face. He brings the belt down, but keeps it in his hand instead of putting it on his shoulder. Ace Watson: On the 16th of June in St. Paul Minnesota at VoW’s biggest pay-per-view of the year I pinned Tristan Ambrose in a triple threat match to end the five month reign of Katie Moicelle. The crowd boo at the fact one of their favourite wrestlers lost their belt, and the fact that a lot of bad things followed it. Ace Watson: And by doing that, I proved all of you wrong. He uses the belt in his hand to gesture towards the crowd. Ace Watson: I proved to all of you that I am more than just a loud mouth, I'm more than just self-hype. Watson takes a few steps around the ring. Ace Watson: Which is exactly what I have been telling you all since I got here! But none of you listened. You were blind to me and my abilities. So I went and won this belt without you. I did this… Ace raises the Zero Gravity Championship. Ace Watson: All on my own. Ace soaks in more boos from the crowd. He is speaking coldly, with a confidence and a not so subtle “I'm better than you” vibe to his words. Ace Watson: Good. Keep booing me. Because the more you all show a lack of support for me and the longer I hold this belt, the more impressive it looks on me the longer I'm champion. The fans follow Ace’s cue and boo again. This time louder. Ace Watson: And the less support you show me while I have this title, the more you prove to all of your favourite wrestlers how little we all need you to cheer us, for us to be successful. The fans show their distaste for Ace’s statement with another chorus of boos, which Ace greets with a forced smile. Ace Watson: Yes. Just like that. He puts the belt back over his shoulder. Ace gives himself a few moments, listening to the fans as a small group try to get another “ACE YOU SUCK!” chant going. Ace Watson: I know that Katie Moicelle losing this championship started an unfortunate and unnecessary chain of events in her life, but in terms of this company, this business, it is what needed to happen. Watson pauses again. Ace Watson: See, change is a good thing in a lot of cases. And this one is a prime example of that. He straightens his tie. Ace Watson: And in what seems to be the Era of Twitter Drama, I bring stability and maturity to this title. Because a lot of people have lost track of what actually matters here in VoW. Ace pauses. Ace Watson: What matters here is wrestling. It's what the W stands for. It doesn't stand for Women as some may have you thinking. And those people would probably have you thinking the V stands for something else too… Ace has a chuckle to himself while the fans jeer at him. Ace Watson: A lot of lines have been blurred here in VoW. Enemies becoming friends, friends becoming lovers, friends becoming… Not friends? I don't know and I don't care enough to keep track of it all... But you know what you're going to get with me. You know I won't be obsessing over who my next “WCW” is going to be, or complaining why someone left me out of their friend group that one time. Because none of that matters. All of that drivel they distract themselves with is reminiscent of school playground dramas. It's petty and pointless. What matters is winning. What matters to me, is this belt... I’m focused. Hell, Katie Moicelle wasn't focused, she was too busy and look what happened to her... He looks down at the belt, a big grin on his face. He nods. Ace Watson: I happened. His grin grows wider and his face becomes more smug looking than ever before. Ace Watson: I let Katie think she was giving herself a chance to make up for the win I had over her. Which was also her first ever one on one defeat. I made her think she could redeem herself for that, and take away my bragging point over her. But, oops, it all went a little wrong there didn't it? Ace laughs down the microphone as the fans try their hardest to be louder than him with their boos. Ace Watson: I got in her head, and I got in Tristan’s. Though, the latter isn't so difficult, seeing as he has to have someone speak for him. Watson laughs again, his smug face still displayed for the whole arena to see. Ace Watson: I had Tristan doing my work for me. I had him on my side beating up Katie at the start of the match and then later on... I pinned him, winning this title. Watson takes a breath. Ace Watson: And since then, he's said to me, as I expected, that he sees us as equal in terms of wins over each other. One to one. But I think he forgets that his win over me should never have been legal AND that my win over him came on the biggest VoW stage of them all. Fate of the Gods. And I have a little more than just a little brag to show for my win. He looks down and smiles at the belt again. Ace Watson: Of course though, I know I'm not going to be a good champion if I don't defend my title every now and then. So I'll leave it up to management to decide if you get a shot, Tristan. I know Katie has already set her eyes on another title so it looks like I don't have to beat her for a third time. The crowd throws a few boos at Watson while he takes a moment to pause. Ace Watson: I've been making jokes at Katie's expense, but there is a small bit of respect I have for her. She held this belt for a damn long time, and I have big shoes to fill. Not literally of course, Katie is tiny, but I know that for me to hold this Zero Gravity Championship for as long as she did would be a big achievement... His tone changed to one of a more humbled version of himself as he said that, and he took another pause afterwards. Just before he spoke again though his smug smile returned. Ace Watson: But I'm aiming higher than she ever climbed. Or ever will climb. I'm going to break the records she never could, I'm going to hold this title longer than she did. People will tell me, and they already have, that this Championship doesn't matter, that this belt is the lowest ranked in the company. But to those people, I say, get stuffed… I'm going to take this title higher than it has ever been before. I will become the greatest Zero Gravity Champion of all time... Whether you like it or not. “Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da” Instrumental by Rammstein hits again as Ace raises the belt into the air, then heads out of the ring and back down the ramp. Axel Reid: Big words from the new Zero Gravity Champion, Ace Watson. Ruby Parvati: Did you have trouble understanding them Axel? Axel Reid: You know what I meant. Ace stares directly into the camera, remaining on him before the scene fades to another commercial. |

Death Waits For No One “Unchain Utopia” by EPICA starts to play, bringing a varied reaction from the fans in the Huntington Center. Some still boo, but more and more there are cheers from the fans packing these arenas week to week, the slow conversion continuing at the same steady pace as it had been for months. At the first chorus of the theme, Emma Carlisle steps from behind the curtain, the peculiarity comes from the fact that tonight, Death is walking alone. No Chosen, none of the group’s staff or the other Horsewomen… not even Joanna. Ruby Parvati: I honestly expected that the next time we saw Emma Carlisle and Joanna Thade, they’d have the Twin City Championships around their waists. Instead those idiotic Neons are still prancing around with the gold. I’m actually a little disappointed in the Horsewomen. Axel Reid: A lot of people took the Neon Girls for something of a joke. Fate of the Gods II proved that that simply isn’t the case. It brings up an important question, though… that being, where do the Horsewomen go from here? Ruby Parvati: Maybe that’s what Emma is here to talk about. Stopping at the top of the ramp, Emma looks out over the sea of humanity, peering out from beneath the hood of a sleeveless robe. Despite not being in action this evening, she’s dressed in her ring gear as she strides down to the ring. Walking around it to the timekeeper’s table, she grabs a black steel folding chair and a microphone, sliding the former into the ring and rolling in after it. Setting it up mid-ring, Emma gestures sharply for the music to be cut out, the arena darkening as such happens save for a dim spotlight centered around the chair. Emma takes a seat upon it, microphone in hand and head bowed so that her hair and the hood conspire to mask her features. The crowd had fallen surprisingly silent once the lights went down, perhaps anticipating the diatribe certain to follow the loss of the Chaossworn at Fate of the Gods. Emma, however, lifts her head after a couple moments, bringing up the stick. Her soft breathing is audible for a couple moments, then…she simply lowers the microphone again. A ripple of confusion goes through the crowd at this while Emma herself seems more ill at ease than she’s ever been. It takes several more moments before she finally finds her voice. Emma Carlisle: For every one of us, there’s a door deep within our psyches that we never, ever open. Chained, barred, and locked with a secret, our own personal Pandora’s Box. We walk past it every now and again, eyeing it with wonder and curiosity, but something… someone… always makes us retract. And why is that? Idly directing the microphone toward the crowd on that side of the ring, Emma allows a lengthy pause as though expecting answers from the crowd. Instead, a few hooded figures melt out of the shadows, standing at ringside. Emma neither looks toward or acknowledges them in any way, instead redirecting the mic toward herself. Emma Carlisle: Fear. Smiling faintly, she lifts her head a bit. Emma Carlisle: At Fate of the Gods II, the Neon Babes dared. Ripping away those barriers, they threw that door open wide and… Spreading her arms wide, Emma gives the cheers at the mention of the Twin City Champions a moment to die down before completing her thought. Emma Carlisle: ...and what? Retained the championships? Regained a semblance of self-worth? Learned how to live and love anew? Perhaps. But let us recall a bold statement by Nicole Evans herself post-show, shall we? Gesturing to the screen over the stage, all eyes turn that way as a tweet from Nicole is displayed: Emma Carlisle: We weren’t taking the Neons seriously. I admit that openly, to the same mistake many others made and shied from. Look upon them and understand that very few ever did. Understand that… and know the depths of Nicole Evans’ error. Because now, child? At once her face becomes a cold, stony mask, her eyes glaring out from beneath a curtain of hood and hair. Emma Carlisle: Now… we DO. Three more hooded figures come to stand around the ring, the Chosen arriving slowly… or it is at least assumed to be the Chosen. Emma Carlisle: And the establishment is well aware of this. As such, you can expect to not encounter us again for some time, if at all, Neon Girls. Here, then, is a lesson, children: She gestures to the crowd as a whole. Emma Carlisle: You see now how quickly those in power retract when someone threatens to throw back the curtain on their facade of stability, withdrawing boons and opportunity while finding any means possible to ensure the continuation of their resource-devouring, satisfaction-depriving status quo. Bear all this in mind as I relate this as well: as surprising as it may seem, there are those who still do not believe in the Horsewomen or our mission. These enemies of change sit in pristine ivory towers precariously perched on crumbling foundations. Shouting their epithets across social media, padding the pockets of the powers-that-be sitting on high, stroking their many treasures while sitting on the backs of the weak and disenfranchised. Tell me true, children: how do you awaken in your beds every day and look at yourselves in the mirror, knowing that the backs of the lot of you, are the roads on which they walk, the seats on which they plant themselves to plot the figurative and literal raping of your wealth, well-being and rights? Boos start to ripple through the crowd, yet not exactly toward Emma but her words instead. Emma Carlisle: Yes... that's the reaction I expected. But for every one of you that jeers my message, two know it to be the truth and three more are quietly seething as reality enters their senses for the first time, coursing like searing magma through their veins. They are the beginning, children. They are destined to be like those you see here. Gesturing to the hooded figures around the ring, the amount of which has at least doubled since the first few appeared. Emma Carlisle: Giving up their names and faces, being reborn not as drones for the nobility but as vital parts of a better, stronger future. There may even be some among you right now, for there always are. Those who will wait no longer, who will be a part of this revolution of necessity. They... are the beginning. It is not merely my sisters and I who will bring about the end of this tainted construct of broken dreams and shattered souls. It is they as well... you amongst the masses who will suffer this unbearable yoke no longer! Rise! Shake off their tethers and archaic rhetoric! At which point a couple jump the railing, absorbed into the hooded group. Emma herself stands, doing so with such sudden motion as to upset that steel chair, sending it toppling backwards. Bringing both arms out and raising her hands up, the hooded figures move as one, climbing to the apron and standing, facing the crowd. Emma Carlisle: Behold the beginning, and at its core… the end. I am Necessity, calm and calculating. I am Inevitability, unstoppable and encroaching. The cold truth that you can no longer ignore. Time, however, grows short. Patience, full belief in eventuality and the grand scheme… will no longer sustain me. I will take this war to the pinnacle of this crumbling existence and catalyze the ending and the beginning to follow... As the grinning face looms over the ring, a reverby voice comes from somewhere backstage: Voice: I am Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole! As these words echo across the arena, none other than the latest challenger to the World Visionary Championship, Ryder Blade, appears on the platform. Another mixed reaction welcomes the youngster, who wears his shirt over his head and has his hands held up over the sides of his head, palms outwards. He stays in this position just long enough for the camera to register Emma's displeasure at being interrupted, then quickly shrugs his shirt back into place and gestures for a microphone. One is tossed to him from somewhere to the side of the ramp, and he wastes no time addressing the woman in the ring: Ryder Blade: That's what you sound like, babe. Just like that. Am I right, peeps? Ryder looks up at the stands, from where another mixed reaction emanates. This seems, however, to be good enough for Blade, who quickly turns his attention back to Emma: Ryder Blade: Let's face it, babe… we've all heard this stuff before. A bunch of times. We heard this stuff so much, it's starting to sound like Matt Robinsuck talking about flukes! Heck, we heard this stuff more than we saw Patrick Jones lose, and that's saying something! The joke is met with both cheers and jeers, but Ryder is not fazed either way. Ryder Blade: But you know what, Emma? You can stand there with all your Dementors or Death Eaters or whatever around you and talk 'till the cows come home. Say all your crazy Chaos bullcrap all day and all night… actually, don't. Ain't nobody got time for that. A more widespread titter of laughter this time around makes Ryder grin. Ryder Blade: My point is, you talk and you talk and you talk… but where are the results, babe? Where are the wins? I'm not even talking about the time I beat you. That's like, duh. But you lost to my ex-Babe and her little sister how many times now? Emma stares as Ryder brings up her latest loss, causing the youth to smirk. Ryder Blade: Oooh, touched a nerve there, Emma? Thought Chaos didn't care about wins or losses? Thought it was about 'the message'?! Ryder deepens his voice in mock-spooky fashion as he says these words, followed shortly thereafter by a rude, dismissive hand gesture. Emma glares again, and one of the robed figures motions as if to intercept Ryder. Death Incarnate, however, stops her minion, allowing Ryder to scan the crowd in exaggerated fashion, as if looking for someone. Seemingly unable to find them, he once again takes to the mic: Ryder Blade: And yo, what's up with you being out here all alone?! Emma folds her arms as the hooded figures around the ring move to make a wall between it and the ramp, though they move no further, but Ryder waves a hand in dismissal. Ryder Blade: Nah, I ain't mean them, babe. I mean JoJo. Where she at?! I thought you guys were gonna do everything together from now on. No more singles matches. No more going behind each other's backs. So tell me... Ryder scans the crowd again. Ryder Blade: ...where the heck she at right now? Ryder turns back towards the ring, raising an eyebrow at Emma inquisitively. Seeing her opponent is done, at least for the time being, Death Incarnate finally steps forward, locking eyes with Ryder as she prepares to answer his mocking questions. Emma Carlisle: Look, children… a man who had the world at his fingertips in the form of a streak, a championship… and lost it all to a woman I left laying in a pool of her own blood more than once. The man who lost the biggest match of his career to a chain-smoking iconoclast champion named Casanova English, who lost to the very same woman by taking a page out of MY book when he realized that she was too smart and talented for him to defeat cleanly. Ryder Blade. Give him a hand, children… The Coventry native speaks in a carefully-controlled tone, quiet and calm, but with a special amount of edge. Ryder smirks and waves a hand dismissively… until Emma continues. Emma Carlisle: ...because he’ll need that false solace while he falls to the foot of the tower, to the back of the proverbial line. Let me make something abundantly clear, you miserable fop. Walking to the ropes, Emma glares up at Ryder over a twisted smile. Emma Carlisle: You own a win over me, yes. You have accolades and records on your ledger here, yes. But you failed at Fate of the Gods the same way you fail at intelligent conversation or in any way, shape, or form being relevant in this company any longer. I know large words fly over your head, so I’ll make it just a bit simpler: Casanova English belongs to ME now. Ruby Parvati: Wait, what?! Axel Reid: That… that sounds like a challenge, Ruby! Ryder simply gapes at Emma as Death leaves it at that, tossing the microphone over her shoulder, never taking her eyes off Blade. Ruby Parvati: No way in hell she could even lift English’s jock! Where does she get off, challenging the World Visionary Champion like that?! Axel Reid: You got me, but she certainly looks determined… and Ryder looks less than pleased with her comments! |

Maxwell Soloke vs. Kincaid Kincaid, given it's his first match back after quite some time, cannot seem to handle the speed and urgency of Maxwell as this match begins. It is apparent that Maxwell is desperate for a win, even if it means conquering the man who defeated the reigning World Visionary Champion a few months ago. Maxwell uses his aerial ability to good effect, managing to take Kincaid down to one knee. But unfortunately, the strength and toughness that Kincaid has begins to form, blocking a diving kick from Maxwell and throwing him around with Suplex after Suplex. Eventually, a ring-shaking Spinebuster plants Maxwell down, but the gutsy newcomer kicks out before the count of three. Using his surge of momentum, Kincaid targets Maxwell's back with strikes and Backbreakers. Yet "The Perfect Disaster" remains steadfast, unwilling to be defeated at this juncture. Noticeable respect is seen from Kincaid, acknowledging his opponent's heart as the latter comes back from a Sidewalk Slam to kick out again. But Kincaid feels he must win in order to preserve his standing in VoW. He slams Soloke down and readies a Big Boot, but Maxwell suddenly recovers and connects with a Jumping DDT. Fighting through pain and exhaustion, Soloke rapidly strikes out at Kincaid, beating him enough to nail an Enziguri and, as a pivotal follow-up, his "Adrenaline Crash" Sling Blade. This only gets a two, but the fans are anticipating a monumental victory on the cards. Maxwell feeds off their energy, managing to get Kincaid with the "Maxus Combo" for another near-fall. He can feel it coming, battling up to his feet in preparation for "The Konami Code". Yet Kincaid has other ideas, surprising Maxwell with a brutal Clothesline and a Pop Up Powerbomb. With Maxwell suffering from the impact, Kincaid takes his chance and executes "The Red River Crossing" for the victory. After the match, the crowd applaud Maxwell's effort. Even Kincaid offers a nod of respect before leaving ringside with his wife, Alyssa. It is another defeat for Maxwell, but the burning desire to succeed is ever-increasing. Jerry Heisenberg: Here is your winner... KINCAID!!! |

New Girls On The Block The scene returns to the arena where the audience is buzzing with anticipation over what's going to happen next. Suddenly, "Roundtable Rival" hits the speakers and the audience comes alive alongside the lights now fading between blue, purple, red and pink. From behind the curtain, JMC and Cali-Kate walk out hand-in-hand waving to the audience, Jami in her Steampunk Princess Peach, Kate in a far more casual but no less revealing tank top with the symbol of the Jedi Order on it, mid-thigh jean shorts and tennis shoes. The entire audience roars their approval of the couple as they pose on the ramp. Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to VoW, the "Geekette Extraordinaire," Cali-Kate, and "The Coldfire Phoenix," Jamilyn Cornett, they are CASA DE KAMI! After a quick kiss and a shared giggle, Kate and Jami split up and go down opposite sides of the ramp. Kate charges a little further ahead and tosses herself into the crowd to get high-fives and hugs from all the fans. Jami works her side with an extreme energy, which the crowd mirrors and returns in kind. At the bottom of the ramp, both of them slide into the ring and pose together. Jami then goes to the ropes and continues working the crowd while Kate leans out of the ropes and calls for a couple of mics. She's handed them and she hands one off to Jami. Axel Reid: Listen to that crowd! They are in love with this new team! Ruby Parvati: A couple of lesbians who sleep with people other than just the two of them? Yea, really not impressed. Axel Reid: Well Kate is a former champion in her own right and Jami is a second generation of one of the biggest names and has taken on several high profile names herself. Ruby Parvati: Blah, blah, blah. Kate and Jami stand in the middle of the ring with smiles and waves to the crowd. The music finally fades out and is soon replaced by the raucous chants of "KAMI, KAMI, KAMI, KAMI" from the audience. Both girls have huge smiles and blow a couple kisses to the crowd. This sends the crowd into even more of a frenzy as Kate brings the mic to her mouth finally. Kate: What's up, TOLEDOOOOOOOO? The crowd responds with cheers and applause. Kate: Oh my God, this... this wow... what a real honor. Thank you all. Thank you so much. Really. The crowd starts up with "Kami" chants again. Kate: You know, Jami and I were talking a long time about what would set us apart. Like truly put us at a level that we actually want to be and to compete at. And the answer hit us like a Force Push. The best place for that was obviously here! VoW! As the fans cheer for them, Jami raises the microphone to her lips, and almost immediately the fans swell in cheers. JMC: Now of course some of you might be familiar with us on social media already....we haven't exactly kept our affiliation with several talents quiet... Jami's remarks start up a "Starpoint Girls!" chant throughout the arena, which only gets Kate and Jami laughing more... JMC: But let's get one thing perfectly clear....we're not just here for fan service....we're here for a challenge and championships. Let people like Casanova English and Ace Watson....which, by the way, can I talk about how crap a move that was at Fate of the-- Kate: Jami...let it go. JMC: Who do I look like, Anna? Jami scrunches her face as she sighs. JMC: Well, Ace, all I'm gonna say for now is enjoy your time as Zero Gravity Champion....because whether it be the Geekette Extraordinaire or the Nerdcore Princess, one of us WILL be going after that championship soon enough, and there will be another Starpoint Girl that will have that title around their waist. In fact....between Starpoint Girls and the Sisterhood of Light, I wouldn't be surprised if we get all the gold in VOW as it is! The fans go nuts at the thought of the Starpoint Girls and the Sisterhood of Light having the titles. There's roars of approval amid the hooting and hollering of names that each fan would love to see as a champ. Kate brings the mic to her lips one more time, raising her hand in a Captain Janeway fashion. Kate: She's right you know? This isn't fanservice to be here. Naturally we want the VoW fans in our corner, but we are here to compete and to win. The fans roar another round of approval. Kate then indicates to the locker room. Kate: And seriously we've already got a f***ing military of our own in the locker room. Basically, you mess with one of us, you are gonna be messing with ALL OF US! The crowd gets fired up again with Jami shouting out "That's right!" Kate: Now the rest of you in the back can call it feminism gone extreme or epic p***y patrol or the vag battalion or whatever s*** makes you feel better... Jami goes over to Kate and lowers her mic as she raises her own. JMC: You'll have to excuse my soulmate, folks, sometimes she forgets we have to worry about censors...this isn't like a night at Casa de Kami after all... The crowd laughs along as Jami refocuses. JMC: But she is right in one thing. See, your little Stufish guy, he thought he could take one of our girls and drive her to near nothingness, drive her to some dark places... but what he didn't expect was the Fly in the Ointment, the Monkey in the Wrench-- Fans: THE PAIN IN THE ASS!!! Jami giggles about this. JMC: I see we have some old-school JMC fans in the house! The fans continue cheering and chanting for the newest VoW tag team as Kate gets back on the mic. Kate: Looks like somebody found the cheat code for unlimited energy in this audience. Let me hear it again! The audience screams their adulation for the girls. Kate: So let's get one thing across for everyone here and especially for everyone in the back: Casa de Kami didn't come here to play co-op mode. We came here to compete, we came here to win, so watch those high score boards, boys and girls, because there's gonna be two new names topping that list. So anyone who wants to play games, just remember- Fans: PLAYERS GET PLAYED! Kate smirks and looks at Jami who smiles back as "Roudtable Rival" starts up on the speakers again. They both drop their mics and kiss once more in the middle of the ring. When they break they pose once more in the ring. Axel Reid: Casa de Kami making their statement loud and clear tonight. Ruby Parvati: Sorry I don't speak skank. Did they say anything worth listening to? Axel Reid: Despite some clear problems with my broadcast partner, Jami and Kate will clearly be a force to be reckoned with in VoW. As Kate and JMC clap along with the audience, the scene changes... |

Justice After yet another commercial - where are they all coming from? It's as if VoW is trying to make more money or something - a panning camera shot of fans brimming with anticipation soon turns to one of the very same fans leaping to their feet to boo as loud as they can. Prompted by Drowning Pool’s “Reminded”, they crane their necks to the entrance ramp as Tyron Bickerton arrogantly strides out from behind the curtain, carrying his championship belt by his side. Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… The VoW I4NI Champion, Tyron Bickerton!! Ruby Parvati: We’re in for a treat right here, Axel! The brand-new I4NI Champion is gracing us with his presence! Axel Reid: We... weren’t exactly expecting Tyron out here... I wonder what he wants? Chuckling to himself, he glances around the audience as they voice their very negative opinions of him - rather than be deterred, he actually seems to enjoy it. As he ascends the stairs and stands on the apron, he brings the championship to his shoulder and climbs in between the ropes, almost instantly striding to the opposite side of the ring to retrieve a microphone. As his theme dies down, he brings the microphone to his mouth; however, the fans aren’t interested in letting him speak. In response, the champion lets out a sarcastic sigh and raises the title belt above his head, sending the fans into a frenzy over the supposed disrespect. Axel Reid: Why is he out here wasting our time? He has a match against Constance Chapin tonight that he should be preparing for! Ruby Parvati: Tyron’s more than ready for Chapin. He just wants to have a little fun first! Draping the championship over his shoulder once more, Tyron’s finally given the opportunity to speak as the audience quiets. Tyron Bickerton: Fate of the Gods II… A small pop. Tyron Bickerton: ...was supposed to be the biggest night of my career… No, my life! It was supposed to be the night where I finally ended the career of Heath Williams and destroyed his life the way he ruined mine. And I did just that! I took his health, I took his championship, I took his career… I took his LIFE! This solicits another negative reaction from the VoW fanbase. Tyron Bickerton: But then, not even an hour later, my whole world turned upside down; all because someone had a personal gripe with my girlfriend, and she had to bring a defenseless little girl into it. Ruby Parvati: That was a disgusting thing to do, Axel… Even you have to agree. Axel Reid: Rebecca Saint was the one who agreed to the terms in the first place! Tyron Bickerton: Well, I’m out here to remedy the situation. I’ve been speaking with a well-respected lawyer who agrees with me that what Kelsey Spencer did to my little girl Mimi was a crime. He motions towards the entrance ramp. Tyron Bickerton: So, with that said, I’d like to introduce Mr. Alexander Cappotelli. A few moments of silence pass, before the familiar bell rings out through the arena, before quickly jumping into the chorus of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” as Alexander Cappotelli walks out to stand on the stage, as Tristan Ambrose also joins him. Ruby Parvati: When did tubby and emo hair become best buddies? Axel Reid: Well, in that statement Alexander released early last week, Tristan convinced Alexander to take this case. Why Tristan cares about this matter, that is beyond my guess. Tristan and Alexander make there way down to ringside, both of them getting into the ring, exchanging a handshake with Tyron, before retrieving mics from the tech hand. Walking around the ring before Tristan rests in the corner, Alexander standing in between him and Tyron as the music fades back out. Alexander Cappotelli: Thank you Mr. Bickerton. First of all, I wanna extend our congratulations on your tremendous victory at Fate of the Gods, Hell of a win sir, but you didn’t get to celebrate the win did you. Just like that dumb bi-beep- Katie Moicelle, screwing my client out of the Zero-Gravity Championship, and trust me he was furious about it… But do you people wanna know what pissed him off more? Wanna know what made me livid? Alex, to emphasize his point, reaches into his pocket, pulling out a picture of a young girl. He looks at it for a moment and smiles, before showing the camera. Alexander Cappotelli: This is my daughter, and as a father, I can understand what Tyron is going through. Tristan can understand where you're coming from. So he came to me, and when he said the words, “You need to get her back to them”, I knew I needed to act. Tristan nods, standing upright as he takes the microphone from Alexander. Tristan Ambrose: Look.. I didn’t like how Fate of the Gods panned out. I lost, and I’m man enough to admit that. But, but, in between anger, and disappointment, I saw something on twitter... something that, made me feel uneasy, It made me feel sick... You see, championships in this business are one thing. But to rip a family apart, to ruin a little girl’s life for the sake of your “just cause” then cast her on her own, into the world? Let’s just say, It’s a good thing she isn’t a part of VOW anymore. Alexander nods, taking the mcicrophone back and once again placing it to his mouth. Alexander Cappotelli: So, being a lawyer in the great state of Illinois and not a dump like Ohio... I went to my firm with Mr. Bickerton’s case. Legal action was taken against Kelsey Spencer and VOW and I am sad to say, Rebecca legally is no longer the mother of Mimi Mai Saint. The crowd cheer this announcement, which annoys all three men in the ring. Ruby Parvati: Now that isn't very nice. Suddenly, Alexander gets a glint in his eye and continues. Alexander Cappotelli: HOWEVER... This man did NOT put his parental rights for the recently adopted Mimi on the line... I presented the case to a local Chicago judge, and sometime in the near future, this matter will be settled by the judge, where I am very, very confident that Tyron will be awarded full custody of his daughter. Alexander lowers his mic, before going over to shake Tyron’s hand. Tristan follows suit, shaking the man’s hand before putting his hand up in the air. Tristan Ambrose: But… But… The Judge from Chicago did add a stipulation as this gets underway. Due to the fact that Tyron has a reasonable claim to being Mimi’s guardian, Tyron… The judge has granted you full temporary custody of one Mimi Mai Saint! Axel Reid: Well... isn't this a turn around... Ruby Parvati: He has a reasonable claim. He was the legal guardian of Mimi before the pay per view, It appears that Kelsey didn’t have all her bases covered... And it looks to be for the best based on those Twitter messages. Suddenly, from the curtain, Mimi starts to make her way to the ring, breaking into a run halfway down the ramp, as Tristan pulls up on the ropes. Ruby Parvati: And there she is! Look at that cute little dress! Mimi wastes no time climbing into the ring, leaping into her adopted father’s arms with a tearful embrace. Tyron tosses his championship down, latching onto his little girl with a binding bear hug. Ruby Parvati: It’s a beautiful thing really, Axel… I’m tearing up a little myself… Axel Reid: Give me a break! The crowd doesn’t seem to share Ruby’s sentiments - they boo and jeer as Tyron and Mimi embrace in the ring for what seems to be an eternity. As they pull apart, Tyron can be heard assuring his little girl: “You’re coming home, princess.” For the first time since the events of the pay-per-view unfolded, a smile can be seen upon the young teen’s face - she’s genuinely happy. While all of this is going on, Tristan picks up the I4NI Championship, still feeling the effects of his loss at Fate of the Gods as Tyron and Alexander share a final, prolonged handshake where they banter back and forth. Tyron turns to get his title, when he notices it in Tristan’s hands. Axel Reid: Oh boy... here's some sudden tension, even after this joyful display... Words are exchanged for a bit that aren't picked up by the camera, before Tristan hands the championship over, rubbing Mimi on the head as he and Alexander exit the ring and head through the side curtain. Mimi dries her tears as father and daughter exit the ring together shortly thereafter. Ruby Parvati: It warms my heart to see this… Mimi’s back in the Affinity! Axel Reid: Now hold on, Ruby, that’s not what’s happening here. The judge has ruled that Mimi remains in the custody of her legal guardian, that’s it! Whether or not she’ll be permitted back in the Saint City Affinity, well… That’ll be determined at a later date, it seems. Ruby Parvati: Why you always gotta be a downer, Axel? The girl just got her daddy back! He has his Swag Princess by his side! At the top of the ramp, the two look back with smiles on their faces. Tyron hands Mimi the I4NI Title, which she enthusiastically holds up high, garnering an even larger amount of boos from the sell-out crowd as the scene cuts away. |

A Promise, Kept And Owed “Unchain Utopia” by EPICA starts to play, bringing a varied reaction from the fans in the Huntington Center. Some still boo, but more and more there are cheers from the fans packing these arenas week to week, the slow conversion continuing at the same steady pace as it had been for months. At the first chorus of the theme, Joanna Thade skips from behind the curtain. Standing on the stage throwing out curtsies and bows to the crowd, War takes the time to polarize the crowd before descending the ramp alone. Axel Reid: Seems for all her messages and demands Joanna Thade is coming to the ring alone. Ruby? I’m sure you’ve plenty to say on this subject. Ruby Parvati: Only that this isn’t about her upcoming match. Joanna promised to congratulate Datura and why not right before their match? Joanna is merely keeping her word as she always does Axel. And before you start belittling War, I’d like to remind you that she isn’t above setting you straight personally. Axel Reid: I’ve nothing to say on the subject other than if she really thinks management will just bend over because she asks, she really is as crazy as she claims. Once in the ring Joanna makes one final bow before throwing her arms wide open and drinks in the crowds reaction. Giggling to herself Joanna brings the mic to her lips and shares her joyous demeanor with all of the Huntington Center. Joanna Thade: Oh I’ve missed this. I’ve missed the back and forth of you all. The boos of those that can’t see past the veil placed on their heads as children, and the cheers of those that have seen the flaws, the tears, the imperfections in such a veil and have ripped it off. One such person I’d like to invite down to congratulate them on their triumph over their own personal demons. Without any more verbose theatricality Datura care to join me? I’ve a present for you. Holding a hand out towards the ring ramp Joanna waits patiently for an answer to her singsong style question. Clade in her ring gear, the presence of her sisters isn’t the only detraction from Joanna’s normal presences. Her favored weapon Hephty was also extremely apparent by its absence. Suddenly “Dead Flag Blues” – Godspeed You! Black Emperor plays throughout the arena and dressed to compete, Datura, steps out from behind the curtain microphone in hand. Calling for the end to her music Datura saunters down the ramp and lets Joanna and the world know her thoughts. Datura: Oh a surprise? Are you going to shut up? Maybe say some non esoteric nonsensical drab for once? Or maybe it’s you having your so called sisters in the wings waiting for me to drop my guard and jump me. Which is it Joanna because a hypocrite like you has no surprise someone like me could possibly want. Ruby Parvati: I’m not sure Datura realizes what kind of monster she’s making light of. Joanna can and might snap her in half if the mood suits her, and yet Datura wants to go and provoke her? Axel Reid: She, like most of us, is just tired of all the random speeches of the Horsewomen. Speeches that while menacing in nature have been little more than false predictions and hate speak. Ruby Parvati: Hate speak? Have you listened to them? The announcers get cut off as Joanna giggles into her mic and sits on the second rope for Datura to enter the ring. Never taking her eyes off the Horsewoman Datura accepts the offer slowly, waiting for Joanna to flip the switch on this overly pleasant presentation of hers. Joanna Thade: Oh nothing like that, a hug or handshake, whichever you prefer. No that either is what you want, I believe your fist on my face in… Joanna pauses as she looks at the timekeeper, then the announce table, which she waves at, before looking at Datura and shrugging. Joanna Thade: Five minutes maybe. I mean, I’ll take thirty and give you a real reward but we’re live and I don’t think these people really want to see that with their kids. Axel Reid: Did she just? Ruby Parvati: Talk about crass. Datura: And there we go. Joanna Thade Ladies and Gentlemen. You’re Warchild, Your bringer of pain, making a sex joke. Seriously if you had one honest bone in your body it’d break under the weight of all your delusional hypocrisy. All you are is a scared girl that is running from her past because she can’t bare to look in the mirror. Your mouth continues to write checks your body can’t cash. You, Joanna Thade, are nothing special. You are just a waste of air as far as I’m concerned. As the crowd erupts in cheers at Datura’s firm discretion of Joanna, Joanna moves her head up and down sporadically, almost nodding but erratic enough that Datura moves a bit away incase Joanna tries anything Axel Reid: You know Ruby as much as I agree with Datura’s comments I don’t think right after an embarrassing loss is the time to piss of the mentally unstable. Ruby Pavati: As much as I would like to argue Joanna’s merits Axel, I’m more concerned that Datura may be underestimating Joanna’s actual abilities. She came in and won everyone over, claiming to be changed and a better person. As crazy as people make her out to be Axel, Joanna plays by her own rules. Looking out amongst the crowd Joanna sways her head to the side while bringing the mic to her mouth. Raising her head she earns more boos as she lowers the stick and turns to Datura. No menacing pose, or sudden surprise, Joanna waves her hand as she bows to the Visionary, who grows more uneasy the more Joanna delays her answer. Holding up a single finger Joanna rushes to one of the ring corners and lounges across the turnbuckle. Again she moves her head back and forth as if considering an idea before giggling to herself. Datura’s fist tightens around the microphone as she controls herself from letting loose all that is building inside. After a few measured breaths Datura speaks with a calm, yet restrained, voice. Datura: Are you going to actually say something or are you speechless because there is nothing a liar, cheat, and false prophet, such as yourself can say in the face of such claims? Joanna Thade: See that right there is the problem Datura. Even if I did say anything would it matter? You pride yourself on being better than the average sheep, you’ve proven you can control your emotions and conquer fury, it’s why I invited you out here. But you still don’t have an open mind my sweet. You still see from behind a veil that strangles you. So I laugh, mostly at myself, because as much as you despise my stance on our match or any match management gives me, you are still the one that is full of potential, I’m just the crazy b***h everyone can’t stand to look at. Datura: You’re not as crazy as you think. Joanna Thade: We’ll see. As the two stare each other down Joanna blows a kiss to Datura before sliding over the ropes and onto the ring apron. Datura raises her mic to protest Joanna’s departure but the Horsewoman’s own voice dwarfs the attempt. Joanna Thade: Datura, everyone. The one that can conquer all she sets her mind to, if only she could get it out of the prison she put it in. Applaud the future and your hope, I bid you farewell until our so called match. Datura: Coward. Runaway and evade the question. You’ve done nothing but prove my point. Datura’s music blares over the loudspeaker as Joanna exits through the crowd while Datura heads up the ramp. Datura with her eyes burning holes in the back of Joanna’s head as the Horsewoman skips her way through the crowd. Axel Reid: I have no clue what we just witnessed. Ruby Parvati: They... do know their match is coming up next right? Why couldn't they stay in the ring? Axel Reid: Are you going to tell them that? They're so caught up in whatever lunacy they hold that time is not a consequence. Ruby Parvati: Stop trying to sound smart. They're smarter than you are. Axel Reid: That's up for debate. Ruby Pavati: Anyway, Joanna praised Datura for her win, and Datura belittled her upcoming opponent. But other than that... VoW is getting weirder by the day. Still, their match is up next! Axel Reid: I need Tylenol... |

Triple Threat Match
Datura vs. Joanna Thade vs. Zahara Matisse We come back from commercial to ringside as “Big Bad Wolf” by In This Moment is playing and sitting back in a chair next to Axel Reid and Ruby Parvati, staring at the ring is “The Black Wolf” and Orphanage member, Winter Pine. Axel Reid: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Breakthrough edition forty seven! Axel Reid here alongside Ruby Parvati as always and for our next match, we are being joined by Orphanage member, Winter Pine. Welcome Winter... Winter Pine: Thank you Axel, happy to hear you sound as boring as ever. Ruby, how's the lip? Ruby Parvati: Lips fully healed thank you, no thanks to Casper. By the way, congratulations on your victory over her at Fate of the Gods. Winter Pine: Come now Ruby, let's not put the spotlight on me. I had it enough during the opening match tonight after all, though I do still enjoy relishing in the fact I saved all these pathetic little fans from further poisoning, yet I still have to wait for a thank you or congrats from them. The camera then cuts to the ring where Jerry Heisenberg is stood in the centre of it with a microphone in hand. Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a Triple Threat match set for one fall! The classic pop tune "Lucky Star" by Madonna starts up as spotlights shine upward through the stage toward the rafters above. A light shower of glitter is released from above, catching the aforementioned lights nicely as Zahara Matisse twirls her way through the curtains, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp. She takes a grand bow once there, briefly removing her top hat before rising and putting it back in place. She's all smiles on her way down the ramp, magically creating flowers from the tip of her wand and handing them to the children in the crowd as she passes and sometimes showering them with confetti and streamers as well. For one lucky fan on the way down, she produces from within her top hat one of her t-shirts. Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing first! From Malibu, California, standing in at 5 foot 7 inches and weighing in at 143 pounds! "The Magical Maiden"...Zahara...Matisse! Reaching the ring, she hops easily onto the apron, briefly posing in front of the ropes with another bow and tip of her hat before rising and stepping through the top and middle strands. Ascending the turnbuckles, she twirls her wand between her fingers, she flicks it in the direction of the ringside fans, causing loud pops to sound and more confetti to stream down from above, getting a happy reaction in response. Hopping down to the mat, she removes her hat, gloves and coat, setting them beneath the bottom turnbuckle along with her wand before beginning to stretch in preparation for her match. Axel Reid: And here she is! The Magical Maiden herself, who had yet another hellacious championship match with Constance Chapin at Fate of the Gods. She also seems to be your next target, Winter. Why is that exactly? Winter Pine: I mean, she might be my target, that's certainly no guarantee...tonight is my way of scouting magic girl and seeing if she is worth even looking at after two losses to Constance. It's almost as if she is prepared to be in an insanity complex, doing the same thing over and over, only to get the same result. Ruby Parvati: Personally, I can’t wait for you to show her why you are the Alpha Female here in VoW. The arena turns black. On the screen, scenes of post-apocalyptic landscapes haunt the darkness. Over the speakers an eerie synth-pad sets the mood as a deep, raspy voice begins speaking. “The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and a dark wind blows. The government is corrupt and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down and the billboards are all leering and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles." A chorus of string instruments begins to play a melancholic tune as a pale spotlight rushes to the top of the stage. There, it falls on Datura, dressed in a pair of tight dark jeans and a black hoodie. She stops at the top of the ramp and stares out into the darkness of the crowd and the sea of boos that flood from it. "It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves, mothers clutching babies, picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upwards everything washed in a thin orange haze.” Elizabeth makes her way down the ramp. The silhouette of hands reaching out to grab her can be seen on the outskirts of the spotlight. Datura ignores them as she makes her way to the steps. Jerry Heisenberg: And her opponent! From Tampa, Florida, standing in at 5 foot 7 inches and weighing in at 130 pounds! Datura! “I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful - these are truly the last days. You grabbed my hand and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever." The strings slow. Datura trudges up the stairs and stands on the apron. She cracks her neck and under the top rope. She makes her way to the corner of the ring and places her hands on each side. She unzips her hoodie, slides it off, and averts her gaze to the sky. Axel Reid: And here is Datura, still relatively new to the VoW faithful, but nonetheless has already made quite the impact here already. What are your thoughts on her, Winter? Winter Pine: She judges people too much. Had the audacity to say I was a disgrace only because of my relationship with Matthew and that we were leaching off English. I mean you want to talk about leaching, look at how much she was sucking dirt off .PAAK's feet after the way she put Ms. Datura into the ground the first few matches here in VoW. She's finally found out how to win, but she's probably one of the most idiotic little theorists this company has right now. Ruby Parvati: I must say, you’ve got a very good point there, Winter. The arena darkens while fog wafts up from beneath the stage, lights going off with a strobe effect meant to resemble lightning as the sound of thunder rumbles through the speakers. The sounds go silent after a few moments before the lights come up with a blue tint, a spotlight shining down on two kneeling figures who rises from within the fog at the top of the ramp moments before the haunting opening of "Cut the Cord" by Shinedown starts. Both figures start to rise as the baseline comes in. Slowly giving nothing away until the bone-chilling thunder of vocals of children echo throughout the arena. One figure throws back her hood revealing her unmistakable blue hair. Laughing along with the lyrics Joanna sways back and forth until "Cord" Jerry Heisenberg: And their opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Emma Carlisle! From the other side of sanity, standing in at 5 foot 4 inches and weighing in at 145 pounds! "The Warchild"...Joanna...Thade! Leading the group Joanna throws off her ropes and heads to the ring biting her lips as she savors the meal to come. The hood rests on the other's shoulders as a masked Emma Carlisle stands stoically at the base of the ramp as Joanna skips to the music. Circling around the ring Joanna refuses to take her eyes off her prey until Emma draws her attention to the task at hand and share a quick nod. Emma pulls herself up onto the apron and enters the ring, casting aside her cloak as she walks to the center as Joanna runs and slides in under the bottom rope. Peeling off the mask, the Nihilist glares into the camera before tilting her head back and shrieking loudly. More of the thunder and strobe lighting erupts at this, briefly, before she lowers her head again. Joanna moves to take a knee before her, the maul portion of Hephty pressed to the mat while Emma places a black-nailed hand on her partner's shoulder, the Warchild affecting a delightedly malicious smile and shrieking laughter to match her partner's deafening wail. "The Watcher" fades out slowly and the Chaossworn back into one corner, unwillingly handing their armament to their respective seconds who remain outside the ring in their charges' corner. Joanna paces hungrily as Emma exits the ring as they await the bell to single Joanna's next "play time". Axel Reid: And here is the final participant in this match, Joanna Thade. One quarter of the Horsewomen of Chaos, being accompanied of course as always by another quarter of said group, both her tag team partner and her life partner, Emma Carlisle. Winter, you have had your fair share of run ins with the Horsewomen over your career, care to comment? Winter Pine: I'll keep saying it, I don't care if I sound like a broken record, they are all talk and no substance. All this "chaos" they keep promising, domination or whatever, not a single thing has come of it. When they lose, they are humiliated, when they win, they have to do it by cheap underhanded tactics. It's why it took a bitch roll-up from Emma to beat me, and it's why it took Joanna to deliberately injure my knee for her to prevent me from winning, and she still lost after that little low-life move. Take a look Axel, these three women facing off are who everyone may want to consider the future of this company. VoW is doomed, period. Ruby Parvati: I hear ya, sister... Glaring at Ruby, Winter sneers, shaking her head before turning her attention to the ring as we cut too it. Heisenberg leaves the ring and the referee calls for the bell and the match is underway. DING DING DING!!! Axel Reid: And here we go! Zahara Matisse, Datura, Joanna Thade in a Triple Threat match! The three women circle one another for a moment when suddenly, Joanna backs off towards the ropes and climbs out onto the ring apron. She motions for Datura and Zahara to fight themselves before hopping down to the floor and standing beside her partner, watching on. Winter Pine: What a shocker. Joanna being a coward. Told you the Horsewomen were all talk and no substance. Ruby Parvati: Joanna abiding by her own rules and not those of VoW in protest here by the looks of it. Both Datura and Zahara shrug before focusing back on one another and they lock up in a collar and elbow tie. Matisse is quick to lock in a side headlock, however Datura pushes herself free and the Magical Maiden hits the ropes but when she comes back, knocks Datura down with a shoulder block with authority. Axel Reid: Zahara looking a little agitated than normal here this evening. Winter Pine: Probably because she got upset with what that person said during her interview, essentially calling her a liar. Datura is quick to her feet and the two circle one another again as Joanna continues watching on. They lock up for a second time and this time, Datura is the one who locks in a headlock, however just like before, Zahara breaks free, pushing her off the ropes and when Datura comes back, she’s the one who takes the magician off her feet with a shoulder block of her own. Ruby Parvati: And now Datura is the one with the offense... Axel Reid: Rather back and forth in the early goings of this match here. Now Matisse is the one quickly back to her feet and the two eye one another up before Datura calls for a test of strength, which Zahara obliges with. They grasp one hand together and go to grasp the second when suddenly, Datura delivers a stiff kick to her gut forcing her to her knees. Winter Pine: Can’t trust a woman like Datura, she suckered Zahara in there. Ruby Parvati: She did indeed. Brilliant strategy from Datura. Datura then follows up with a nasty Buzzsaw Kick to the side of Matisse, dropping her to the canvas before she quickly goes for a pin. 1... 2... Kick-out! Axel Reid: Datura trying to win this match early, but it’s going to take more than that to keep Zahara down. Winter Pine: I may not like her, but Zahara is a tough woman to beat...without question. She’ll never go down that easily. Getting to her feet, Datura picks Zahara up with her and then wraps her arms around her waist and nails her with a belly-to-belly Suplex, forcing Matisse to crash into the turnbuckle. Ruby Parvati: And a belly-to-belly into the turnbuckle... Axel Reid: Did you see the way Zahara’s legs struck the ring ropes? She may have done some damage there... Datura quickly glances over to Joanna to make sure she’s not trying anything before focusing her attention back onto Zahara. Picking her up again, Matisse breaks free from Datura’s grasp and begins to deliver a flurry of stiff kicks to various parts of Datura’s body, a visible fire burning in her eyes. Winter Pine: Zahara sure is laying into Datura here. Ruby Parvati: With authority! I kinda like this Zahara... Matisse then follows up with a vicious Exploder Suplex however doesn’t stop there and quickly picks her up and delivers a second one, this time bridging with a pin attempt. 1... 2... Kick-out! Axel Reid: Two vicious Exploders there from Zahara, but not enough to keep Datura down for the three. Winter Pine: Just like with Zahara, Datura is a tough woman to beat so she’s going to need to do more than that to defeat her. Matisse, much like Datura did earlier, glances over to Joanna who is still on the outside watching. The only movement coming from the Warchild is her chest heaving with each breath she takes as well as talking with Death Incarnate. Ruby Parvati: One has to wonder what those two are talking about. Also, I wonder when Joanna’s going to actually do some fighting. Axel Reid: I’m sure those two questions are on the minds of everyone in attendance here this evening, Ruby. Zahara makes her way over to the turnbuckle and begins to ascend it much to the fans delight, the Magical Maiden keeping her eyes locked onto Joanna still just to make sure she doesn’t try anything. Winter Pine: Zahara’s wasting time here keeping her attention focused on Joanna. Ruby Parvati: Indeed. If she’s not careful, this will result in no reward for going high risk. Finally turning her attention back to Datura who has since gotten to her feet, as soon as she turns to face Matisse, she dives off the turnbuckle with a corkscrew crossbody, but Datura ducks out of harms way and the magician crashes to the mat in a heap. Axel Reid: Nobody home! Zahara meeting nothing but canvas there... Winter Pine: She shouldn’t have spent so long focusing on Joanna. Datura quickly scrambles towards the fallen Zahara and hooks her leg for the pin. 1... 2... Kick-out! Ruby Parvati: And another kick-out from Zahara. Axel Reid: And Joanna is still yet to budge. Does she even want to be in this match? Datura gets to her feet and stomps a couple of times on Zahara’s arm before lifting her up to her feet and dropping her with a double knee armbreaker as Matisse rolls on the mat clutching her arm in agony. Winter Pine: Datura going to work on Zahara’s arm here, which will make it difficult for her to use her own finishing moves on her. Ruby Parvati: Another great strategic move there from Datura... Suddenly, as Datura keeps focused on Zahara, Joanna pulls a taser from inside her clothing and slides into the ring behind Datura. Axel Reid: Is that a taser she’s got there?!?! Winter Pine: Just like I said earlier. The Horsewomen can’t do a damn thing without taking some kind of shortcut. Joanna then drives the taser into the back of Datura and activates it, sending a small shock through the woman, causing her to collapse to the mat. She then proceeds over to Zahara and shocks her with it as well in the stomach, causing the magician to roll around on the canvas clutching her stomach in pain. Ruby Parvati: Holy smokes! Joanna’s really doing a number on these two with that taser. No rules so it’s perfectly legal and the referee can’t do anything about it. Axel Reid: You’re absolutely right, Ruby...still doesn’t negate the fact that it’s wrong. Thade delivers a few stomps to a downed Datura before lifting her up to her feet and throwing her into the turnbuckle before delivering another shock to Datura, this time to her stomach. Winter Pine: Someone’s going to need to take that taser from Joanna as soon as possible. Although it is satisfying to witness both Zahara and Datura getting shocked. Ruby Parvati: Especially Zahara... Turning the taser around, she smashes the other end of it off Datura’s head causing her to drop into a seated position in the turnbuckle. Joanna then gets down onto her knees and repeatedly punches Datura in the face, pummelling her severely. Axel Reid: Jesus. Joanna is pummelling Datura into the ground with these punches. Winter Pine: Yes she is, but she’s focusing too much on Datura, forgetting that there is a third participant in this match. Once Joanna is satisfied with her beating on Datura, she turns around, taser still in hand and she comes face to face with Zahara who is now back on her feet. The Warchild activates the taser again and attempts to shock the Magical Maiden for a second time, however Matisse grabs her arm to stop her. Ruby Parvati: And now Zahara trying to wrestle the taser from Joanna’s grasp! Axel Reid: Let’s hope she manages it before some serious damage is done. Suddenly, Zahara then kicks the taser out of Joanna’s grasp, causing it to fly out of the ring and smash on the floor outside. Thade stares at the now broken taser for a few moments and when she turns back to Matisse, she’s met with a facebreaker knee smash. Winter Pine: What did I say earlier? Joanna spent too long on Datura and now Zahara is back in control. Ruby Parvati: And we all know what normally follows after that facebreaker knee smash. A groggy Joanna clutching her jaw is then suddenly met with a leaping reverse STO from the Magical Maiden. Axel Reid: Trap Chamber connects! Winter Pine: Too soon. Joanna’s taken barely any damage yet. Matisse quickly drops down on top of Thade, hooking her outer leg for the pin. 1... 2... Kick-out! Ruby Parvati: Not enough. Winter was right, Axel. Axel Reid: And I’m sure she’d love hearing you say that, Ruby. Quickly getting up to her feet, Zahara wastes little time and immediately grabs hold of Joanna’s arm and locks her in the cross armbreaker sending the fans into a frenzy as the Warchild flounders around trying her best to escape the hold. Winter Pine: Zahara locking in her vicious Spellbound submission here. Ruby Parvati: Indeed, could we witness Joanna Thade tap here this evening? Thade desperately reaches towards the ropes and manages to grab them, but of course, the referee can do nothing about it as he tries to explain to the Horsewoman why he can’t do anything. Axel Reid: And of course, under Triple Threat rules, there is no rope breaks. Winter Pine: Exactly. Joanna either needs to break out of the hold herself, reverse it or hope that Datura breaks it up. With Joanna looking mere moments away from tapping out, suddenly Datura comes from out of nowhere and delivers a stiff low dropkick to the side of Zahara’s head, forcing her to break the hold on Joanna, who rolls out of the ring, clutching her arm in pain. Ruby Parvati: Joanna wise to roll out of the ring there. Axel Reid: Yeah, creating some separation, however she’ll have to keep her eye on Datura as she may have Zahara here. Datura lifts Zahara up onto her feet, who is still reeling from the dropkick to her face earlier. Hoisting her up in a Brainbuster position, Datura then drops the magician down onto her knee, causing her to slump to the mat in a heap. Winter Pine: And Datura connects with Deliriant! Zahara maybe out right here! Ruby Parvati: I think you could be right, Winter. Wasting little time, Datura picks the magician up a second time and hoists her up, dropping her with a vicious Package Piledriver. Axel Reid: THORN-APPLE DRIVER!!! Winter Pine: Count to one hundred, this one’s over... Datura hooks Zahara’s inner leg as the referee drops down to his knees to make the count. 1... 2... 3??? Ruby Parvati: NO!!! JOANNA BREAKS UP THE PIN!!! Axel Reid: Did you see how close the referee’s hand was to dropping down for the three there? Datura can’t believe it and quickly gets to her feet and both she and Joanna begin to slug it out with one another, trading lefts and rights, pummelling each other. Winter Pine: I’m getting so much satisfaction from watching these two women beat the Hell out of each other. Ruby Parvati: It truly is one Hell of a sight to behold... Suddenly, Joanna wraps her arms around the waist of Datura and nails her with a belly to belly Suplex, however the moment she nails it, Zahara surprises the Warchild with a schoolgirl roll-up. 1... 2... 3??? Axel Reid: NO!!! JOANNA JUST KICKS OUT!!! Winter Pine: That was extremely close. Joanna almost lost yet another match. Thade is very quick back to her feet and as Matisse gets to her knees, The Warchild hits the ropes and delivers a vicious running knee to the temple of the Magical Maiden, sending her through the ropes and she crashes to the floor. Ruby Parvati: Joanna strikes with the Mental Disorder! But the momentum forces Zahara out of the ring... Axel Reid: Yeah, but Joanna better watch out because look who is back up to her feet! As Joanna stares at Zahara on the outside, Datura is now back to her feet and she spins the Warchild around and goes to strike her in the face, however Thade blocks the shot and delivers a stiff kick to Datura’s knee causing her to drop to one knee. Winter Pine: Joanna telegraphed that right there... Ruby Parvati: Yeah, she’s firmly in control of this match right now. Hitting the ropes, Joanna comes back and delivers a second running knee to the temple, this time to Datura. Axel Reid: Another Mental Disorder! Winter Pine: Could we witness Joanna actually win something for once here? Thade walks backwards towards the turnbuckle and grabbing hold of the top rope, she crouches down in the corner, glaring at Datura whilst awaiting her prey to get back up to her feet. Ruby Parvati: Look at the fire in Joanna’s eyes! Axel Reid: It could literally burn through anything right now... Just then, Zahara hops up onto the ring apron, however Joanna quickly catches her in the jaw with a right hand, knocking her back down to the outside as Datura is now on her feet. Winter Pine: Joanna making sure Zahara doesn’t stop her from putting an end to this match right here. Ruby Parvati: You’ve always got to keep your eyes open in a Triple Threat match. Joanna spins Datura around and grabs her in an reverse STO grapple, bending her backwards over her knee, she then nails her with a swinging reverse STO. Axel Reid: ELECTROSHOCK TREATMENT CONNECTS!!! Winter Pine: Joanna’s not wasting any time here going for the pin! Thade immediately covers Datura, hooking her outer leg and driving her forearm into her face as the referee drops to his knees to make the count. 1... Matisse can be seen just getting back to her feet as she spots what’s happening inside the ring. 2... Axel Reid: Can Zahara get back in the ring in time to break up the pin?!?! Winter Pine: She’ll have to be quick! 3??? The referee’s hand comes down for the three just before the Magical Maiden is able to break up the pin. Ruby Parvati: IT’S OVER!!! What a match! DING DING DING!!! Jerry Heisenberg: Here is your winner... JOANNA THADE!!! Ruby Parvati: Joanna pulled it off, Axel! What an exciting contest! Joanna slithers away from the downed Datura and heartbroken Zahara, smiling all the while at her victory. She celebrates her moment as Zahara looks upset, sighing strongly at yet another loss. Datura feels her head on the canvas as Joanna heads up the ramp, taking a curtsy before she laughs and the scene changes... |

Enough Is Enough Axel Reid: So Joanna Thade gets a victory tonight, but it could have easily been Datura's or Zahara's for the taking. Ruby Parvati: If every match was like that, I wouldn't survive! My heart wouldn't take it! You saw how I was for Cassie going against Ry-Ry at Fate of the Gods! That brought some of it back! Axel Reid: I'm sure you'll recover in time for the next match, where the second qualifier for the Quest For The Case Match will be decided! Being the last competitor to leave, Datura stumbles away up the ramp still feeling her head. As she gets close to the stage, the audience instinctively starts booing right away as the returning Seth Iser has reappeared coming through the curtain. There’s an undeniable anger coursing through his face and unlike last time he has returned with a megaphone in his right hand and it looks like he has plenty more to say. Axel Reid: Oh you've got to be kidding me... Ruby Parvati: Where did he get that megaphone from? Axel Reid: I don't care. I just know we're about to hear another despicable rant from this bitter man. Iser acknowledges Datura briefly before the latter disappears behind the curtain, and then he turns his attention to the booing crowd. Seth Iser: I’ve been silent for over a year about these things and I have had enough! You will listen to everything I say...and don’t you dare touch me. Iser barks that order at a fan through the megaphone and a second fan near him gives the finger toward him and Iser just shakes his head and stomps up the steps and enters the ring as he continues his diatribe. Seth Iser: Our sponsors can buy politicians and our executives but they sure as hell can’t buy my mouth and neither can any of you. And it is a crisis. We are losing what we are as a wrestling industry when just five years ago even I would’ve been applauded for doing what I did to Slater as right by any code but you all vilify me for that and vilify me for not making peace with him over twitter at the same time when the absolute truth is as much as I hate YOU people...I hate Matt Slater more. Iser nods his head in the face of the loud jeers that are going his way. A second round of the profane ‘F*** you Iser’ chant has begun right away and Iser just gestures to the audience to bring them on and he looks...unhinged...about ready to snap completely at any minute. Seth Iser: I hate Matt Slater more than you people hate me even. And why? I hate the idea that people view him as the ultimate role model when for years he’s proven otherwise with how he’s goaded me and put my name and reputation through the damn mud. I hate that people like you buy into everything he says like racists in a Trump rally. I loathe the fact...that every single step of the way I’ve been proven right and he’s been proven wrong and yet you treat me as if I did the wrong thing. Iser then just coldly glares at the audience and he’s as intimidating as any man in the industry when he looks like that. Seth Iser: What I hate most of all...is the idea that Matt Slater is better than me when the results have proven otherwise... Iser just tilts his jaw and lets those words sink in for a second...just letting the audience boo him loudly but he’s determined to let his entire message go through. Seth Iser: I proved it three times but none more decisive than at Fate of the Gods. You booed me when I won that match. He was stretchered out after a legal piledriver and you jeered me as if I lost. Yet when I wrestled English for the world title and I had that belt ripped away from me and I lost...you CHEERED me as if I won! You want more proof that the wrestling industry has gone down the toilet thanks to you fans that is the proof right there. And each of you in this building know I’m right in everything I’ve said to this point. The audience has now begun a Slater chant that is getting louder and louder and Iser just raises his eyebrows and lets the crowd chant it for a couple moments...before he cuts them off completely. Seth Iser: Go ahead and tweet to Slater or tweet to your boyfriend, girlfriend, or sleep buddy all you want to get someone to stop me but it won’t happen. I’m one of the best in the world and like I said earlier tonight...Matt Slater is NOT here. I shelved him. Because of you people. You’re the heinous people because you really wanted me to be proven wrong but like I’ve been many times in over my decade career...I’m right. And no amount of angry tweets or lovey dovey tweets between members of our soft, fickle roster can prove me wrong. I’m the REAL role model your kids should look up to. Not Stacy and her many relationships. Not Katie and her disrespect of her mentor AND many relationships. And not...Matthew...f*bleep*ing Slater. Axel Reid: What a heinous human being. Can we please get someone to confiscate that megaphone before we get pulled off the air? Ruby Parvati: Why don't you do it if you care so much? Suddenly, as Seth bitterly scans the restless audience, "Morning Glory" by Oasis blares from the speakers, prompting a sudden reaction from Iser and the fans! Axel Reid: Wait a minute! The crowd unanimously cheer as Seth acknowledges the stage, standing firm with the megaphone by his side. After several moments, with the song playing on, a fatigued Matt Slater gingerly walks out onto the stage from behind the curtain, painfully using a cane for support. The crowd's cheers diminish as they witness him slowly walk to the center of the stage, his neck protected by a brace and his cheekbone still bruised from the battle at Fate of the Gods II. Ruby Parvati: Look at the condition he's in, Axel. That's what Seth said would happen! Axel Reid: Is he out here for pride... or to relinquish his career...? A forlorn Slater stares at Iser, who offers a subtle smirk at the aftermath of his actions. The crowd sympathetically chant Slater's name, giving him a respectful ovation as he adjusts his cane and steadies his footing. Axel Reid: We knew his neck issues had not completely healed. It seems now they won't ever be... Slater looks out at the crowd, looking from left to right as signs featuring his likeness and his name - with additional messages - pop up everywhere. Once he has visualized the audience, he returns his focus to Iser, who appears to be relaxed and unconcerned by his presence. Axel Reid: Seth Iser... was right. Matt Slater won't be the same ever again. Moments elapse with both men standing there... until Matt strangely feels his neck brace. Seconds later, his morose expression changes into one of anger, switching just as he moves his hand to the back of his neck and tears off the brace! Ruby Parvati: What... is he doing...? Axel Reid: You don't think...?! Becoming aware of the situation, the crowd cheer thunderously as Slater carelessly disposes of the brace... and Iser's relaxed form begins to tense. The latter's eyes transform, presenting nervousness rather than satisfaction. Once Slater flexes his fingers, his arms pulsating with energy at his sides... he rotates his neck, showing the crowd he is moderately well! Axel Reid: He's... he's not permanently hurt at all! Slater's neck is unaffected! Ruby Parvati: I don't believe it! He HAS to be hurt! He took a Piledriver from Iser! Now being fuelled by malice, the former Silver Knight suddenly marches towards the ring, limping slightly with the cane still in his hand! Unnerved, Iser quickly looks around at his surroundings... until he grits his teeth and shouts at Slater to bring it! Axel Reid: And here he comes! Ruby Parvati: Okay get the security now! Slater obliges as he enters the ring and the two are face to face just for a brief second...before Iser swings with the megaphone and Slater ducks...and cracks Iser in the back of his left leg with the cane! And the cane splinters on impact. Ruby Parvati: Cheap shot! Iser’s kneeled down and drops his weapon of choice but his first instinct is to try to scramble to his feet even if he’s having a hard time straightening his knee. The sudden movement did also hurt Slater but the adrenaline and hatred he has for Iser...apparent as he picks up the megaphone...and Iser turns around as fast as he can as Slater puts the megaphone right at Iser’s face. Matt Slater: Do I have your attention now? Slater then clonks Iser right between the eyes with the megaphone and Iser stumbles between the top and middle ropes and onto the floor. Iser looks like he’s seeing stars from the blow with his eyes a little wobbly as Slater starts to exit the ring and Iser is crawling toward the barricade to try to escape. He’s on his feet, pushing aside and ordering fans to move out of the way but as he goes over and the fans boo his cowardice. Fortunately for the audience, Slater has caught Iser and punches the vocal veteran in the kidneys and Iser instinctively turns around and even over this barricade the brawl is on and the audience has become unglued! Ruby Parvati: What are the Security doing?! DO YOUR JOBS! Axel Reid: This is mayhem! Slater is not going to stop until he has Iser begging for forgiveness! One plucky Security Guard does intervene, blocking Slater from reaching Iser. The crowd boo this show of authority... until Slater grabs the guard and shoves him towards a vacant chair! Ruby Parvati: I smell a lawsuit! Axel Reid: Slater has snapped! He wants Iser badly! Another security guard attempts to shield Seth in the distance as he finally stands... but Seth does the same thing by knocking him out of the way! Once Seth looks over his shoulder at how far Slater is, he is surprised to see Slater leap from the seat of a chair and fly at his nemesis, taking him down with a forearm! Axel Reid: Our Security is scrambling to get organized, but the fans are actually blocking them from breaking up this fight! Ruby Parvati: No wonder this town sucks! Slater brings Seth up and punches him, but Seth manages to land his own punch and knock Slater down onto the concrete. Showing furious anger, Iser grabs Slater and attempts a Piledriver on the concrete! Axel Reid: NO! OH GOD NO! At the last moment, Slater hammers Iser's knee, stopping the Piledriver and punching Seth in the face again! Iser stumbles towards the technical area with Slater in pursuit, not caring who is around him or who wants to stop him. Iser locates a fire extinguisher and prepares to blast it into Slater's face, but while he is doing so, Matt locates a laptop and brandishes it, cracking Seth across the head with it before the extinguisher can be used! Ruby Parvati: Somebody needs to call Tech Support after that. Axel Reid: That laptop just got splintered by Iser's skull. Technology is so sensitive these days. Ruby Parvati: Why are you making jokes at a time like this?! Axel Reid: I couldn't help myself. Iser is staggering away from Slater, his knees wobbly from the assaults there and the laptop shot and Slater is in pursuit of Iser cracking him with a punch to the kidneys to send him reeling further. A second right follows and after that second punch Iser turns around and thumbs Slater right in the eye out of desperation. A couple of knee strikes to the stomach follows before one big punch reels him and Iser grabs him by the back of the head, angry. Axel Reid: Iser is looking borderline psychotic right now. Ruby Parvati: He just got hit in the head with a laptop! Axel Reid: And somehow Iser will complain about it and will need more than one hundred and forty characters for it if someone decided to write out his complaining. Iser ends up chucking Slater onto the floor as a popcorn vendor with the popcorn machine sees the action and Iser just psychotically glares at the man before shouting ‘GET OUT OF THE WAY’ and a two handed shove and the poor guy ends up falling backwards with some popcorn flying everywhere. Axel Reid: Seth Iser is out of control. Ruby Parvati: Where were you when Slater instigated the fight by showing up here? He has every right to be angry. Iser ends up grabbing Slater by the hair in his anger before delivering one knee strike to the stomach and then a second before dragging him over to the machine. He’s pointing it to Slater and putting on a verbal bad mouth that is not safe for work. He goes to chuck Slater into it but Matt reverses it and then sends Iser face first into the machine and into the popcorn he goes! Iser’s body is twitching from the impact before we hear him audibly yell ‘THEY’RE IN MY EYES!’ Ruby Parvati: Not this hideous Ohioan popcorn! It's rolling everywhere! Axel Reid: Don’t insult the local popcorn. Ruby Parvati: That horrific substance has more salt than the fries at McDonalds! Iser staggers away from it clutching at his eyes with a slight limp from it all before Slater just looks at the popcorn. While watching Iser suffer, Slater reaches his hand into the box and collects some popcorn, eating it to loud cheers! He then follows that up with one big right handed punch to Iser while he’s still staggering around from it all. Ruby Parvati: Now he’s assaulted a man AND stolen some popcorn! Matt Slater is a thief and a criminal. Somebody stop him from assaulting one of our stars! Once Slater fully consumes the sugary treat, he punches Iser again towards the side curtain next to the stage, pursing Seth as he retreats from view. The crowd boo as Slater disappears as well, presumably bringing the brawl to an end... at least in front of the audience. Ruby Parvati: Those two won't stop! I want to see what's going on! Axel Reid: Well I'm sure there will be consequences for this... hold on, I'm being told we have a cameraman tracking them backstage! We're going to get a feed! Soon enough, a feed does appear on the big screen, causing the crowd to cheer as they see Iser block another punch, boot Slater and then drive his face and body into the corridor's wall! Axel Reid: They're still fighting! Is no one going to stop this?! Standing above Slater, Seth shouts "YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME! You should have stayed in your damn hospital bed then instigate ANOTHER losing fight with me!" But Slater is unstoppable, yelling back as he forces himself off the ground and tackles Seth towards a large open area. The two exchange blows on the ground before, at last, a swarm of security guards and staff members surround both men, prying them apart and separating them. Slater struggles against the mass of humanity, shouting towards Seth "I'LL KILL YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Iser gets infuriated, elbowing a small staff member as he shouts back "YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO!" Axel Reid: Well it's over now... but what will the consequences be of this? Suddenly the newly named General Manager, Ryan Omega is on the scene, his brow furrowed as he glares at both men. Ruby Parvati: I think we're about to find out! Ryan Omega: This is enough. Seth, Matt. Never have I ever had to stop something as degrading as this. Look at yourselves. You guys are former world champions, the ring generals, the veterans of the locker room. VoW originals, may I add. This? This is how you conduct yourselves? Omega gets himself in the gap between Iser and Slater. Slater begrudgingly slows down, as does Iser who face-palms a security guard who gets too close to his face. Ryan Omega: Iser, stop it. Look... we cannot have this loose cannon mentality around VoW. You two know better than anybody else that these differences should be settled in the squared circle between the bells. Therefore, I cannot and will not fire a warning shot. I have to make an example as much as I rather it not have come to this. But effective immediately... both of you are suspended, and your pay docked. I want everyone to know there will be no tolerance for these shenanigans. I expected better from you... Both of you. With this verdict made, Omega storms off, with both groups of men keeping Iser and Slater separated as they venture in different directions. Axel Reid: Both Seth and Matt have been suspended for their actions! Ryan Omega is not messing around! Ruby Parvati: That wasn't Seth's fault! He was defending himself from a man who has lost his mind! Axel Reid: They're BOTH to blame, Ruby... and the tides have suddenly turned with Omega's Law coming into swift effect. |
