Apple Kid: Happy Thanksgiving travelers! The Apple of Enlightenment has returned to regale you with yet another thrilling tale of battles between good and evil within our ring. The stage is set for Chapter 2! When last we met, Dogma Emperor had tightened his grip on the Final Boss Championship, the top prize of the realm, but Hero Dan gathered a team of heroes to fight off his evil Priests. Now, Dogma Emperor has sent Priests AND Dogma Nuns to try and test the heroes. The Cleric Tiburon, our highest level hero, had decided that for Hero Dan to walk the path to the Final Boss, he must first get through him. However, our story this week begins with an attack at our very gates, with the Guards Jane and Strong there to stand up to the Dogma Nuns.

EBW Gaiden: Level Up Wrestling "Chapter 2"
Studio B, Saturn City
ENN

1. Women's Tag: Guard Jane[o]/Guard Strong beat Dogma Nuns #1[x][/Dogma Nuns #2 via Lariat -> Pin
-The opening battle saw the Guards Jane and Strong take on Dogma Nuns. Sorry boys, the Nuns were in full robed regalia. By boys, I mean Tack. Guard Jane used her trusty Lariat to take down one of the Nuns for the pin.

Apple Kid: The Apple of Enlightenment, would really like to see more of those Nuns. I doth believe I saw some feet, and that's important to me. I mean, the Guards were successful at fending off Dogma. Yeah, that's it.

2. Women's Singles: Mage Hope beat Barbarian BeShemoth via Magic Exploder Suplex -> Pin
-Mage Hope utilized her superior ground game to take the Barbarian off of her feet. BeShemouth countered with powerful stretches, in an attempt to submit Hope. Unable to hit the Olympic Slam, Mage Hope relied on a "Magic Exploder Suplex" for the pin and the win.

Apple Kid: Another thrilling victory for the young Mage. The Barbarian BeShemoth is now being summed by the Dogma Emperor. He looks like he wishes to induct her into his brood, but the Barbarian seems conflicted.

3. Level Up Match "WoL fends off the Bandit": Benjamin (Lvl. 2) beat Snakebite the Bandit Leader via Spear -> Pin -> Level Up! (Lvl. 3)
-Snakebite the Bandit Leader, attempted to steal the sword and armor of the Warrior of Light, but Benjamin was able to best him in combat, using the powerful Spear to pin the much taller man for the 3 Count.

Apple Kid: The Warrior of Light is truly rising in the eyes of the peasants. A legend in the making. He's now Lvl. 3.

4. Level Up Kings of the Dual Duel Championships: Magical Trevor(c)[o]/Black Belt Tack(c) beat Dogma Priest #3/Dogma Priest #4[x] via Trevorplex -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-The Magician and the Black Belt put their titles on the line against two other Dogma Priests, not the ones they battled before, but other ones. The results were nearly the same, with Magical Trevor hitting a Trevorplex on #4 for a spifftastic title defense!

Apple Kid: The mighty duo once again thwarted their foes, and seem likely to do so again and again, but you already knew that.

5. Level Up Match "Prove Your Worth": Hero Dan beat Cleric Tiburon(Lvl. 10) via Brave Clash -> Pin -> Level Up! (Lvl. 5)
-Best contest of Chapter 2, as the Cleric put the Hero through a tough test. Stretches, grapples, and slams had the Hero nearly fall to the holy man many times, but the power of HEART, SOUL, and FRIENDSHIP saw him through, as the heroes allies surrounded the ring and cheered him on. He fought back, hitting the Brave Clash to conquer the Cleric.

Apple Kid: And thus Hero Dan found himself with the Cleric's support and now at Lvl. 5, because that's how the XP system works in Level Up?! It is? It is. The Hero is now one step closer to challenging the Dogma Emperor.

EBW World

Nerma: Hello EBW fans! Nerma here with EBW World. You get the idea but now, but wow, we need to talk about that Black Friday! What a crazy day! So many people getting absolutely battered, and that's not even including the EBW event! Yes, we saw what was possibly the best EBW show this year, and yes that includes Victory Explosion. Some really fantastic matches, and some controversy. We'll get to that in a minute, but first, we need to talk about injuries. The price that comes with putting on the show of the year eh? Now FORMER EBW Triple Crown World Champion Mav Valentine suffered some injuries from the 5 star main event. Obviously, it's the ankle. You guys really need to learn how to tap out. You lose sure, but you don't get your ankle destroyed in the process. We've got Doctor Degrees here to fill us in more extensively.

Degrees: Huh? I mean, you pretty much nailed it. Learn to tap out guys. Makes my job easier too.

Nerma: Could you elaborate on the damage?

Degrees: Doctor patient confidentiality.

Nerma: What? Really? Then why did we bring you i-

Degrees: I'm kidding! They signed EBW contracts. They have Lakitus following them at all times. WHAT confidentiality?! It's not a break, but he is definitely NOT cleared to compete on Xcite. It's not happening.

Nerma: I understand that Trevor Mach and Picky Minch are not being cleared either?

Degrees: You kidding me? I had to put their faces back together! That's barely hyperbole! I had to scrape Trevor out of a dumpster to stitch him up! That guy is normally VERY lucky with the abuse he puts on his body, but he's going to have some new scars, and Picky doesn't look much better. Neither man looks like a winner.

Nerma: How long before they can compete?

Degrees: I don't know! Could you at least give it a week or something? Damn, the roster isn't THAT bare! I use bio stitches that accelerate healing and disintegrate over time, so when you no longer see the stitches, that means they can work on getting new ones. *sigh* Hope is also not cleared. Her eyes are fine after that flash paper incident. She knew to close her eyes luckily. That doesn't mean she doesn't need additional evaluation. Oh, but on the plus side, I think I got a hearing aid for her that MIGHT work? More on that later. Seriously though, I'm going to need someone to get the champ out of her room. Bashin Dan hasn't left her side....again. Every time with this guy. Visiting hours are NOT a suggestion people. Tack Angel has some neck and shoulder trauma, probably from that damn Coal Miner's Glove still. That's a very very dangerous weapon. I'd rather they hang a gun in the middle of the ring then think about using one of those again.

Nerma: .....

Degrees: ....That's it. I'm done. Everyone else is fine...ish.

Nerma: ....Big elephant in the room.

Degrees: Am I forgetting something?

Nerma: ....M's?

Degrees: OH! Right! Right! She's perfectly fine, and so is the baby. No damage as far as I can tell. Luckily, she landed on her posterior, and not the stomach, or this could be a different conversation.

Nerma: That's a relief. I was really worried about that. Well thanks for coming Doctor.

Degrees: Reminder that you have a check up coming soon Nerma.

Nerma: ....With another Doctor.

Degrees: ...I'm a professional you know?

Nerma: I know! I know! It's just too weird!

Injured List

Mav Valentine
Trevor Mach
Hope Mach
Picky Minch
Tack Angel

Nerma: Now onto the controversy. So, the Women's Television Champion not only tossed Hope Mach into a dumpster, but like we said earlier, she laid her hands on her boss Lady M's, who surprise surprise, is VERY VERY PREGNANT! She didn't like what happened. To say the least. To say the very least. Check out what happened, followed by the card for the next Xcite, where the NEW EBW Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan WILL be in action, leading the Dan Club in a quest to become a 4-Crown King!

Lady M's Office

Sunny Malibu paced back and forth with Millie, and Muscle Girl Security. M's finally burst in, and brushed by them all harshly on the way to her desk.

Sunny Malibu: I've been waiting here for 2 hours.

Lady M's: Good. That was the idea.

Sunny Malibu: I didn't have to show up at all.

Lady M's: I would have fired you on the spot if you hadn't, and been willing to fight Tess to the bitter end to keep you off of EBW television. Don't make threats. Having backup doesn't intimidate me either.

Millie Malibu: You're just mad because we got you. We tricked you, and then we beat up your daughter, and then we-

Lady M's: You can get the hell out you little brat! You know, I could have you suspended as it is for what you did. It's not like I can't take a push. I'm a rough woman. I like everything really rough, including the way I run this division. It's rough. However, I've got a baby here in case you didn't notice, and it didn't really occur to me until the moment you pushed me down that she means everything to me. That made me think about what I would do if something happened to Justice? Then it made me think of Hope. She's older, but she's still my kid, and you put her through hell again, and again, and again. The last thing I'm going to do is suspend you, because I know she's not done with you yet. You look tired, worn down, and beaten up. You're even letting the tan slip a little bit. That spray tan doesn't really hide the fact. She wrecked you. You did everything you could to beat her, and she wrecked you. You had to try and take her eyesight. It didn't work.

Sunny Malibu: I don't care if you're proud of your little girl or whatever this is all about. The point is that I won and she lost again. I am the Television Champion. I'm one half of the World Tag Team Champions. I have Eisenritter to watch my back, and the favor of the true boss of this division. I am where I belong, and I got there with my own determination. It's a shame you can't accept that, and you keep flinging Hope at me. I'm just going to keep battering your daughter in front of you. What kind of mother lets that happen?

Lady M's: She makes her own choices. I'd like to think a good mother supports those choices. It doesn't matter how I think or feel about it. I'm not going to be judged by you Sunny. I wanted you to know, you're not getting fired. You're not getting suspended. You're going to stay on the roster, and eventually you WILL get what's coming to you. However, I have no problems issuing a HUGE fine against you. Not only are you being fined your pay from Black Friday, but also an additional $10,000.

Sunny Malibu: What?! That's bullshit! Taking money out of my pocket out of spite?

Lady M's: Yeah. Sunny, you pushed me, and put my child at risk. You're lucky I haven't killed you, and when I say kill, I mean kill.

Tess: Did I hear right? $10,000 and her earnings from Black Friday? Tali, you should've went higher if you wanted to cause damage. I'll cover it Sunny, don't worry about it. You're worth your weight in gold to me, especially after Black Friday. Worth every penny.

Lady M's: I don't recall inviting you in here Tess.

Tess: I never invited you into my office, but did that ever stop you? When dealing with such a high profile talent like this, I should've been notified.

Lady M's: You haven't exactly been around now have you?

Tess: True. I'll give you that one. I was expecting to become the First Lady of Eagleland, but you saw to it that I wasn't. You stabbed your own father in the back. Ladies, you can leave us. I'd like to have a word with Tali alone.

Lady M's: I'm going to make you stop calling me that one day. Enjoy it while you can.

Tess: I'm your "Mother", so I can call you whatever I want. See, it's funny to me that you decided to get involved, because in reality, with all of my grandstanding about making things difficult for you, I was actually going to leave you alone. With all that power, you would have looked so insignificant. You wanted to keep playing the game though didn't you? You couldn't help yourself. That's fine. We'll be fine. Your father will win next time, and I will still get what I want. We've learned that voters are irrelevant you see. Next time, we'll use other means to ensure our victory, and the media will be happy to cover it up. Until then, your father will continue to run Summers, and make it a shining example to the rest of Eagleland. I will, of course, continue to shape "our" division into something successful.

Lady M's: You want to whore out our talent. You want them to show skin, and be provocative. I just want them to be the best they can be, and give us the best matches. THAT is how we run this show, and I will NEVER let you get that twisted again.

Tess: We'll see Tali. We can keep playing this game for as long as you'd like. I would just....watch yourself. Don't get too physical. We don't want something to happen to my "Grandchild", now do we?

Lady M's: You don't get to call my children that ever. You understand? Also, you make veiled threats about my children again, and I'll rip your throat out.

Tess: ....Apologies if you took it that way Tali. I was just trying to extend a cooperative hand. I don't want controversies about out top stars hurting babies because you won't stay out of the way. 

Lady M's: You want to be cooperative? I don't believe it for a second, but if you meant it, you could let me see that "petition" that got the Angels kicked off the active roster.

Tess: And made into dancers? Yeah, I didn't think they'd take that job, but to my dismay they did. You want to know who is betraying you right? You want to know who Christina should add to her little "hit list"? I could tell you. I could show it to you right now actually, because I have it on me. But.....*leaned closer and whispered* I'm not going to.

Lady M's: Get out of my office.

Tess: Tali, you really need to relax for the sake of the baby. It must feel like hell. being unable to do a damn thing about anything right now? I know that feeling. Ness and Tracy made me feel that feeling. Have a nice day Tali.

Lady M's: .....

Lady M's then pressed a button on her intercom system.

Lady M's: Lucca?

Lucca: Yes sir?

Lady M's: Order a new table.

Lucca: Are you going to-

Lady M's: Flip the table? Yes.

Lucca: .......I'll order a new table sir.

Lady M's: Thank you.

Crystal Heaven

Tack Angel was sulking around Crystal Heaven, with his arm back in the sling.

Tack Angel: Stupid Coal Miner's Glove. *sigh* Now I'm expected to end EBW World on a funny note, because Tack segments attract the target demo. Whatever happened to that narrator and crowd I used to hear? Maybe I AM going crazy. I'm getting off track. How am I supposed to do something funny to end the sho-

Tack walked into a room to see Tracy pulling the strings on Amy's corset as hard as she could.

Amy Angel: We need you to pull harder.

Tracy Angel: I'm trying! Why do you have to have such big tits!?

Amy Angel: We can't help it! This is the biggest set we've ever had! We need them pulled in so we can wear our bulletproof vest for work. Pull harder!

Tracy Angel: *groaning* it's coming!

Amy Angel: Yes! We feel it!

Tack Angel: .....


 

Earlier Today...

Saturn City High

Substitute teacher Tack Angel was for some reason allowed to fill in again after several past blunders, but with the confidence of his recent victory, and his arm in a sling, the Star Prince was actually in the right head space for once. He placed a glass on his desk, and then up two forks that were interlocked together, with a small stick in the center. He carefully place the small stick on the edge of the glass, and surprisingly, the stick was able to hold up both forks.

Tack Angel: Eh? Pretty cool right? What you see here, is an example of "equilibrium". Now it really looks like the forks should fall over, but they don't. Now why is that? Anybody? Don't be shy.

Large Black Student: It's a trick.

Tack Angel: Yeah, but it's a trick of nature. It does this because the center of gravity and the center of mass are balanced in the exact same place.

Large Black Student: Big deal man.

Tack Angel: Oh come on, it IS a big deal! What's your name? 

Large Black Student: Darren.

Tack Angel: Darren? Do you by any chance play football big guy?

Darren: Heh. Yeah. Why?

Tack Angel: Defensive tackle?

Darren: Yep.

Tack Angel: 320lbs?

Darren: 335.

Tack Angel: That's perfect! Darren, I want you to come up here, and explain how physics affects our everyday lives.

Darren: I don't need physics. I'm an athlete.

Tack Angel: Sure you do. Especially you. Come on up here big guy. Come on Darren, do it for the school! Come prove me wrong! Come on class! Inspire him! Darren! Darren! Darren!

Darren: Alright man, I'll do it.

Tack Angel: Great. Now stand here. Huh, I don't run into TOO many people taller than me, and you got the BEEF to back up. You're a large mass Darren.

Darren: Thanks?

Tack Angel: From one large mass to another, you're welcome, but like I said, you're bigger than me. However, if we get down in the stance, like we're about to rush each other on the football field, I have a lower center of gravity than you do. Let's put this to the test. I want you to come at me.

Darren: Your arm is in a sling man. I don't want to hurt you.

Tack Angel: Trust me, nothing hurts more than a Coal Miner's Glove.

Darren: A what?

Tack Angel: Don't worry about it. Come at me.

Darren: Your funeral.

Tack Angel: Hut! Hut! Hike!

Darren rushed Tack, but he bent down enough to force Darren up and over him, sending the defensive tackle to the floor. The class gasped in amazement. He had their attention now.

Darren: Well, I guess you've got something there.

Tack Angel: That's right. Equilibrium Darren. Physics. Archimedes, on the physical applications of the lever once said, give me a place to stand and I can move the Earth.

Darren: Archimedes huh? Who does he play for.

Tack Angel: I'm telling you Darren, tune into this stuff now, and there is no telling where you'll go before and AFTER the Superb Owl.

Darren: ....You're alright Mr. A.

Tack Angel: Class dismissed.

As the class left, Tack sat at his desk, and rubbed his shoulder.

Tack Angel: God that hurt, but I did it. I reached the kids. *sniff*

*clap* *clap* *clap*

Tack Angel: Huh?

Cadmus: Well done Tack. You can be a competent teacher after all.

Tack Angel: How did you get in here?

Cadmus: Seriously? I've been here the whole time.

Tack Angel: I thought you were goth kid hiding in the back row.

Cadmus: Funny. Really funny. You're just a mountain of confidence now aren't you?

Tack Angel: It's amazing how good you can feel, when you pull a large thorn out of your side.

Cadmus: You compare me to a thorn? We're in a school, so let's come up with a more apt comparison. I'd say if you were like Atlas, then I am the World, coming down on your shoulders. Only, unlike myth, you're going to buckle under the pressure of the World. Time...weight...erosion...you'll come apart eventually.

Tack Angel: The kids are gone, so no need to be some academic about it. You still want to take another shot at the Star Prince. I told you, that I'm not interested. I want to be rid of you. Go pick a fight with someone else. I don't really care who, but I'm done with this crap between us.

Cadmus: It's not over. You've escaped a couple of hefty sentences that were looming over you, but imagine yet another year of me coming after you. No, I won't go after your family, we agreed on that. But, I will keep coming after you, because the Dark Star Emperor will CRUSH the Star Prince. That is the future I see.

Tack Angel: I think that's a smudge on your glasses. Get your eyes fixed bud. Since we're on the subject of my family, you can stay away from Chrissy and Helios while you're at it.

Cadmus: I'm not harming them, so I'm not breaking the agreement. I'm merely, being a friend. Besides, you know how teen girls are. You tell them something, and they'll go out of the way to do the opposite. She's into me because of how much you hate me. However, it doesn't have to be that way. We CAN put an end to this, with the ultimate wager match.

Tack Angel: What do you want?

Cadmus: EVERYTHING. We put it all on the line. One final showdown for the fate of two empires in the making.

Tack Angel: .....No. Like I said before, I'll stick to the guarantee. I'm done with you.

Cadmus: For now maybe, but by the time this is over, you'll be begging me for this match, and that's when I'll get you....once and for all.

Tack Angel: ....*sigh*

Saturn Cafe

The Dan Club gang were all celebrating Dan and Benjamins's wins at the cafe. Music was playing, and the drinks were on the James Sisters. Hope Mach was nursing her wounds, but still beaming with happiness and pride for Dan.

Vape: Congrats to you guys. It couldn't have happened to two nicer fellas.

Jammer: It could've happened to me! It should have! I'm totally going to lose it, turn heel, and get my reve-I'm just kidding! Ha! Couldn't be happier for you. Dan, you're no baller, but you're a Champion, and you deserve it. You too Benjamin. You guys took that ball and ran with it.

Benjamin: I merely heard Dan's pep talk the last time we were all here together. It inspired me, and it reminded me of something. I'm a long way from my home, but this is my home now, and you're all my family. I'm going to make the most of it everyday.

Hope Mach: *signing* I'm very proud of you.

Bashin Dan: Everyone, I appreciate you all being here, and waiting to celebrate until Hope got out of the hospital. It means a lot to me, that we're here celebrating right now as a family. Benji, you and I took our destiny into our own hands. We accomplished a big goal, but we're not done yet. We have more to do.

Benjamin: It was tough getting here, but tougher staying here. Is that where you're going with this?

Bashin Dan: Absolutely.

Jammer: Your encouraging speeches are wearing off on him.

Bashin Dan: Heh. It feels like a year ago, that we were splintered.

Jammer: Yeah yeah yeah, that's on me, I know. I'm never going to live that down am I? One lousy heel turn! I got to be World Champion!

Hope Mach: Hehe.

Jammer: Heh....it is silly isn't it.

Hope Mach: *signing* You're so emotive it's easy to read your lips.

Jammer: Happy to help?

Bashin Dan: Ha! It's been a long journey back to the top, but this time, it's going to be different. No matter what happens, I'm committed, to being what I need to be. I-

w00t: Should be looking over your shoulder every second of everyday. You want to know why? Because you have a target on your back now.

Jammer: You weren't invited dude.

w00t: I go where I please.

Benjamin: I think between the President, Mav Valentine, and Trevor Mach, you've got enough enemies. You shouldn't come here to make more.

w00t: Who says I'm doing that? Even if I were, it wouldn't matter. I've taken on the whole world before. What's one more time right? No, I'm here to congratulate the man who crushed Mav Valentine's dreams. The man who hurt him more than I ever could.

Bashin Dan: I did no such thing. We fought for the titles. I wasn't trying to crush his spirit like you.

w00t: And yet, you pulled it off flawlessly. I'm guessing you invited him here right? I don't see him. I'd probably know if he were here right now. He's sulking now no doubt. Crying, smashing things, and cursing you for ever getting in his way. Oh, it's hilarious to think about really. One way or another, the people I want to be damaged get damaged.

Bashin Dan: He's stronger than you give him credit for. I'm sure he's fine.

w00t: We'll see won't we? That post match rush will wear off, and he'll turn on you. A man like him, who had the rug pulled out from under him, can only plaster on a fake smile for so long.

Jammer: Bro, if you're looking for a title match, I think it could wait. We're celebrating right now, so let the Champ celebrate in peace.

w00t: Well, I certainly don't want to rain on your parade, but no, I'm not looking for a title shot. I will eventually reclaim what belongs to me. One day. Right now though, you have other people to worry about. You said the Dan Club WAS shattered. I think...no I know....that it still is....now isn't it? I'm sure some people will be very interested in knowing how easily....they can be forgotten.

Bashin Dan: .....





Tommy Dukes: Welcome wrestling fans, back to Threed! We're LIVE at Zombie U for another thrilling Xcite! Man, we love coming here, because it's ALWAYS a sell out!

Nerma: I don't think half of them actually ever leave.

Tommy Dukes: Oh...that might be true. I know President Swift isn't the biggest fan of Zombies though, so it's great that he puts that aside to make some money and entertain.

Nerma: It's a big deal really. I've seen the President's Starman bonfire he made once upon a time. He's really matured.

Tommy Dukes: To the point that he's not setting half the audience on fire? You could call that maturity....or sanity...one or the other. Still, in a place of death, we have new life for the Dan Club, as Benjamin, the "Mystic Match Machine" claimed the Television Championship! He's not the the only one with new gold though. Not by a long shot. Bashin Dan, the "Dangerous Player" himself, is the NEW EBW Triple Crown World Champion. He lost the titles at Victory Explosion, and it's been a long road back to them, but he made it possible, in what I consider the match of the year.

Nerma: We'll be hearing from the Champ before his main event attempt to become a 4-Crown King later tonight, but we have so much more to go over, and so much more to show you. The flag ship is PACKED tonight!

Tommy Dukes: Before Xcite of course, we had Dark Matches that you could see on ENN+. Some people wonder if they matter, and they really do. All wins and losses matter.

Nerma: Even though we barely keep track of official numbers. We REALLY should be on that. We pride ourselves on the "sports presentation" feel of our shows!

Apple Kid: Hey Tommy! Look what Eve posted on her Onlyfans!

Tommy Dukes: I didn't know a woman could stretch like that!

Apple Kid: It's obscene isn't it? I LOVE IT!

Nerma: Yep....sports....presentation....feel. So in the Dark Matches, LG Rod and Randy no Kachi of TackForce, were able to beat Subculture and Firebrand X, the former World Tag Team Champions, when Subbie and X miscommunicated....a LOT. I think they lost whatever groove they were in. The build up to, and loss in the Television Championship match probably didn't help.

Tommy Dukes: That was a #1 Contender match, and TackForce will be taking on Paradise Collection later down the road. I'm guessing w00t and Maurice not getting a rematch immediately stems from the ongoing heat between w00t and President Swift. Magnum PT won AGAIN. He's got a real winning streak going. The powerful mustache prevailed, with a new finisher he was perfecting in Edo before coming back to EBW. The Magnum Bomb, which is a Northern Lights Bomb. So we had our own Aurora Borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in Zombie U!

Nerma: ....Also, the mighty Hazen from Hagenland, battered the has been Dirk Laramie.

Dirk Laramie: You guys keep doing this! I'm still down here on the ground! Yes, that big brute kicked my ass, but I can totally come back from this! Right Dick? Dick?

Tommy Dukes: He went off to drink in the panel van I think.

Dirk Laramie: Hey! That's my keystone light!

Tommy Dukes: His taste in beer is as bad as his losing streak. Well, the main event of the night will see Dan Club take on w00t and his associates for the World Team Championships, but we're opening the show with a match between former Television Champion Pirate Bill and Los Tiburon. The winner will be Benjamin's first opponent for the Television Championship. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING! I like it better when I get to say that myself. It's MY catchphrase.

Nerma: Sure it is honey. Sure it is.

0. Dark Match EBW World Tag #1 Contender: LG Rod[o]/Randy no Kachi beat Subculture[x]/Firebrand X via Leg Drop Bulldog -> Pin
0. Dark Match Singles: Magnum PT beat Robert Sandwich via  Magnum (Northern Lights) Bomb -> Pin
0. Dark Match Singles: Hazen beat Dirk Laramie via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin
1. EBW Television #1 Contender: Los Tiburon beat Pirate Bill via Brainbuster -> Pin
-The opening contest saw Los Tiburon take on Pirate Bill for the right to challenge Benjamin for the Television Championship. Despite not being a full time wrestling, Bill had confidence from his Television Championship run, but he lacked the experience and intensity of the grapple bastard, who stretched the friendly Pirate and pinned him following a Brainbuster.

Tommy Dukes: Bill did his best, but when Los Tiburon is on point, he's hard to beat. I'd say that exhibition with Dan in Level Up Wrestling probably fired him up. As the last of the Luchadors currently in EBW, he's got a lot riding on his success. He's now found himself the #1 Contender to the Television Championship.

2. EBW Women's Television #1 Contender: Alison Chains beat BeShemoth[x], Gold, and Eve via Package Piledriver -> Pin
-A crazed brawl, with four hungry warriors vying for the chance to challenge Sunny Malibu. Well, one of them probably had other ideas in mind, as the powerful Eve tried to wear down the other competitors, softening them up for the Eisenritter's Malibu. Alison Chains wasn't having it, as she bent the rules and the necks of her opponents to try and claw out a win. Gold was on the outside as BeShemoth and Eve grappled. The two muscular women, sweating and flexing made Apple Kid pass out from a nose bleed. The crowd popped when BeShemoth lifted up Eve, and tossed her out to Gold. She flexing to the fans and played up to the crowd, thinking her moment had finally come, but Chains quickly hit her in the midsection and landed the Package Piledriver for the pin. A livid BeShemoth rolled out of the ring and kicked around camera equipment as Chains stood in the ring with a mic.

Alison Chains: Hey, don't get too worked up about it. You were good, but I was better. I said I'd rip and tear to get what I want.

BeShemoth: This is BULLSHIT! Sick of it!

Alison Chains: Go cry about it.

BeShemoth: I don't cry. I get back to work. I'll be seeing you again.

Alison Chains: I believe you. Come back and see me soon. However Malibu, I'm calling you out right now!

Sunny Malibu appeared with Eisenritter on the big screen.

Sunny Malibu: Well done Chains. Well done. But I got to tell you, I'm not coming out there. I'm relaxing, drinking a pina colada. Do you see the umbrella? Tiny little thing that says "Television Champion" on it. Stupid right? Life of luxury is more like it. It's the little things that remind me of the good life. I'm living the good life on the back and blood of Hope Mach. How sweet it is. See how big I am on the screen? You seem so small to me. We've come a long way from trying to claw our way into SPARKLE huh? 

Alison Chains: Yeah chick, you used to have guts.

Sunny Malibu: I think you went to one too many crazy tea parties "Wonderland". Go take in your victory, and let's hope you don't get pulled in for a random drug test alright? Aloha.

Backstage

A livid BeShemoth continued her rampage in the back, before grabbing a camera.

BeShemoth: I'm not a joke, and I'm not a loser. Look at my size. Look at my muscle. I didn't work so hard to perfect this body to be runner up. Chains, you snaked a victory tonight. Doesn't matter if I like it or not, but we WILL have a rematch.

As he walked away Apple Kid followed her.

Apple Kid: Yeah...I see your size...I see your muscles. Your muscles give me size if you know what I mean. Good thing she'll never hear me say that. *turns to Lakitu* Oh no....GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!

Ted Pettentool: Hello EBW fans! Don't mind the leg cast, I managed to make it into the ring all by myself, because I'm a professional, and I'm excited to get this interview, the FIRST interview with the NEW EBW Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan!

Bashin Dan: Thanks Ted, it's an honor to be here!

Ted Pettentool: The honor is all mind. That was a hell of a match with Mav Valentine, but while he's taking care of an injury, you're not wasting any time. You have a match TONIGHT!

Bashin Dan: Let it not be said that I'm not a fighting champion. Listen, let me speak on a few things. For the last couple of years, people had me placed in the Ace position of EBW. I was always looking for challenge and competition, but the responsibility of being the Ace alluded me. Now, I'm facing that challenge head on if you'll have me. I'll fight for you, and I'll carry the torch and the banner EBW. I'll hoist it high and proudly. I'll fight to make sure I don't let any of my fans down. I want to inspire, and show you all that hard work, determination, and the will to fight for what you believe in CAN lead to you attaining your dreams. If you fail, you can work ever harder and MAKE it happen. You CAN do it! This was my dream, and it's now my reality. I'm going to treasure this. I'm going to live and love every minute of it.

Mav Valentine: That's good. I couldn't agree more.

Ted Pettentool: It's Mav Valentine on the stage!

Mav Valentine: I'd join you in the ring, but this is your moment, and my foot cast makes it a little hard to get around. I didn't want to miss this moment though. I wanted you to see, that I can live with losing. I can overcome that feeling of losing everything, and I have you to thank for that. It all goes back to what you said about working for your dreams. I failed on Black Friday, but that only means I have to work harder to achieve my dreams again, and make it MY reality. Dan, you've earned my friendship and my respect, but we're far from through. I'm going to recover. I'm going to hit the gym, harder than ever. I'm going to focus solely on reclaiming those titles and the role of Ace, and I-

Suddenly, Cade appeared behind Mav, and took him down with a Cadebreaker.

Ted Pettentool: Oh no!

Bashin Dan: Mav!

Cade: Pathetic. You're BOTH pathetic! Trying to play nice with the fans? Trying to put on a facade of benevolence! I can barely hear you anymore, but what I can hear is making me SICK!

Bashin Dan: You keep saying that. You keep saying you can barely hear me. What does that mean? What DO you hear?

Cade: Pain....violence...suffering. Like father like son.

Bashin Dan: You've never been beholden to the sins of your father Cade. That's a whole other story. What you're doing now, you're doing of your own volition stop it now.

Cade: What? You mean this?
 
Cade repeatedly stomped at Mav's ankle cast.

Bashin Dan: STOP IT!

Cade: NO! I don't stop. I'll never stop. Not until I get what I want! I want a title shot! I want a shot at those title belts! Give me the shot, or Valentine never walks again without the use of a cane!

Bashin Dan: Stop! I'll give it to you! I'll do it! Just stop!

Cade: That's something I DID want to hear. The only thing I ever wanted to hear from you. I heard that loud and clear.

Bashin Dan: Can we get a medic out here!

Dan rushed out to help Mav Valentine to his feet, as EMTs approached to assist. Ted tried to get out of the ring, but tumbled and got his cast wrapped up in the ropes. It took several agonizing minutes for the EMTs to come back and help him.

3. Non-Title Tag: Kinniku Mike[o]/Amigo beat Saxon[x]/Novus via Dragon Suplex -> Pin
-The Paradise Collection took on Saxon and Novus of TackForce, in an impressive match up of tag excellence, and a two guys who look practically identical pulling off matches with the most basic and simplistic moveset. Like a couple of default CAWs here. The World Tag Team Champions handled their business in the ring tonight, with Mike grabbing the win after a Dragon Suplex to Saxon. 

Tommy Dukes: Just a quick simple match, with everything you want to see, can't complain about that. TackForce showing they're good sports with a handshake before walking away. I bet Tack is bummed about that loss for his team.

Nerma: I bet if you told him, he wouldn't even know it just happened.

Tommy Dukes: .....

Nerma: It's Saxon and Novus we're talking about here.

Tommy Dukes: Yeah, you make a good po-WHOA! Maurice from behind! He's attacking Mike and Amigo! They're down! Sal is trying to get into the ring, but Maurice just laid him out with a Head Kick! Glad he didn't catch all of that, cause Sal isn't all there these days to begin with! He really doesn't intend to ever let this end does he? What's he doing with that chair! No! Keep it away from Sal's battered dome!

Nerma: Wait! Here comes....Magnum PT?!

Tommy Dukes: He's fighting off Maurice!? I think he was puzzled to see PT coming out to make the save! Mike and Amigo are looking confused too, but PT has in fact made the save. He's helping up Sal, and signaling that he wants to join the team. They're agreeing! PT has joined the Paradise Collection?

Nerma: Wait. No! Look at that combination in the ring. They all share something in common.

Tommy Dukes: Oh..you mean.....*gasp*

Magnum PT: Hit the music Chief!




4. Women's Non-Title Singles: Chrissy Angel beat Erica via DQ
-The younger sister of Christina Angel aka ALSO Christina Angel battled the Women's World Champion in one-on-one competition for the first time. Erica was attempting to solidify her dominance over the Angel Family, but she found herself on the defensive end for the early going, as Chrissy fearlessly stood up to the "Golden Goddess" with some hard slaps, a kick to the head, and an Enziguri. She controlled the pace, until Erica ducked her flying forearm attempt, and came back off the ropes with a hard big boot. The Champ started to work over the younger Angel, setting her up for the signature Air Raid Crash, but Chrissy narrowly escaped, and countered with a SUPERKICK! As she waited for Erica to get back up to land another one, a masked woman appeared out of the crowd and attacked Chrissy from behind, leading to a DQ victory on the World Champion.

Nerma: And again we have a masked woman or women that are NOT fans of the Angel Family, but I don't think they're exactly fans of Eisenritter either.

Tommy Dukes: Erica looks pissed! She might even know who that is. It all depends on the names on that list. Well, it looks like Chrissy is all right. She's even celebrating the win, making it even worse for Erica. Ha! Well, we still have the main event to go, but a little sneak preview for what we know about Xperience. The NEW EBW Challenge Champion Picky Minch will address his victory over Trevor Mach, and talk about what's next. That's going to have to include title defenses, because the Challenge Championship is meant to be defended weekly. Will he be capable of even competing this week, or will he have to vacate the title? Will President Swift allow an extension? We'll find out on Xperience.

5. EBW World Team Championships: w00t(c)/Maurice(c)/Cade(c)/Cadmus(c) vs. Bashin Dan/Benjamin/Jammer/Vape -> Double Count Out -> It's NOT a Title Defense, but the titles don't change hands
-A heated contest, especially following the events from earlier in the night, as Dan lead his team against w00t's team for the World Team Championship Rings. Stiff competition for the new champ, who was in much worse shape than any of his opposition. Tons of near falls and big finishers, lead to the final minutes of the match, where Dan and Cade's back and forth lead to Cade slapping Dan across the face. Dan fired back, and the two rolled to the outside. Jammer saved Dan, from a wKo out of nowhere, and the two teams brawled. The ref had to eventually count both teams out, but that didn't stop them from continuing to brawl. Cade tried to hit another Cadebreaker onto the stage, but Dan escaped it, and went for the Brave Clash. Cade fought out of that, and both teams and security had to pull them apart.

Tommy Dukes: Wow, that was crazy! w00t's team keeps the Rings, but Dan Club were competitive. They've got the World and Television Championships, and that puts targets on them, especially with w00t and his associates. I'm sure this is far from over, and it's kind of great that it worked out like this organically, because this is a feud that could make a lot of money, and it's better to stretch it out then have it settled here and now. Right?

Nerma: ....

Tommy Dukes: I mean am I right?

Nerma: .....

Tommy Dukes: Am I right though?

Nerma: *sigh* Just end the show.

Lady M's Office

Lady M's looked over paperwork on her brand new desk, sighing as she poured over things she didn't care about.

Lucca: Sir, it's good to see you taking this job so seriously.

Lady M's: You know what this is Lucca? It's me keeping a promise. That bastard Lu, left me his legacy. We're both his living legacy, and Tess is trying to destroy his memory and vision. I owe few people in this world, and of those people, I intend to pay back even less, but I owe him too much.

Lucca: Interesting. Do you think he's pleased with our efforts?

Lady M's: I don't think he's anything anymore, except what we carry with us. That means something to me. That's why I'm trying to be fair. Sunny Malibu deserves hell raining down on her, but I'll play along, and I'll let Alison Chains be the one to challenge her next. As much as I want Hope in the match, she's still not cleared.

Lucca: She's been wrestling since she was 16, and yet I've never seen her this beaten down before.

Lady M's: Me either, but she's strong, as in really strong. She's not a stereotype, and she doesn't feel the need to shove it in your face. She just IS that strong. When I had my....."bad" year....with Tracy, she got in my face about it. She stood up to me, and she never backed down. Truth be told, I couldn't have been prouder. It'll work out. Until then, we have you Chains.

The Lakitu panned around to show Alison Chains was sitting in the chair across from M's.

Alison Chains: You know M's Style, if you wanted me to take care of your "problems", all you had to do was ask. I can inflict pain, and we both know, I can take it away too.

Lady M's: First off, it's Lady M's now, and secondly, don't talk to me like that when I have you scheduled for a random drug test.

Alison Chains: You have me scheduled? Scheduled for a random test? Random?

Lady M's: It's never actually random. We just say that so we can drug screen who we want.

Alison Chains: ....Appreciate the honesty? You're going to have to give me a couple weeks.

Lady M's: ....

Alison Chains: I'm kidding! No more tea parties. It's not like old times anymore. I get high on violence now, and that surfing bitch is about to run into a shark that smells blood in the water. Now, I got to go. Places to go, people to beat. By the way M's, you're looking a little out of shape. Ha!

Lady M's: .....

M's looked down at her desk, as her hands clamped down hard on it, ready to flip it, before suddenly stopping.

Lady M's: Lucca?

Lucca: Yes sir?

Lady M's: What kind of wood polish did you use on this desk? This sheen is ridiculous. I can't flip this table.

Lucca: Very good sir.

Lady M's: For you maybe!

Windy City Streets

w00t was soaking in the jeers of the Windy City citizens with EBW Challenge Champion Picky Minch, while paid security surrounded them with bullet proof glass.

Picky Minch: Is this really necessary?

w00t: The glass? Absolutely. Remember where we are. This city is a garbage fire, and one of the worst places on Earth aside from that really shitty one in the north east, and that cess pool out west. We don't go to these places for a reason. You might not understand because-

Picky Minch: What? I'm a kid? Was that what you were about to say?

w00t: No! Not at all! *clears throat* I was going to say because you're never been here before. You might not know about it. But maybe you do....maybe you do. You're a college man after all. Man is a key word in that .

Picky Minch: Why are we meeting like this in the first place?

w00t: Well, I wanted to give you some good news. Mach isn't cleared to compete this week, so he won't be getting a title rematch at the Maelstrom show.

Picky Minch: That's not good news to me. I don't mind fighting him again. I proved that I can win. I proved that I'm not a kid, and I'm not his sidekick. I'm not his shadow. I'm not a comedy act! I did it.

w00t: You did. You did it without our assistance too. Not how I would do it, but you did it none the less.

Picky Minch: I won and kept my self respect.

w00t: Self respect is over rated. Jumping him like you did before Black Friday? Now THAT is what I like to see. It's your career though. I only wanted to help you.

Picky Minch: You wanted to help yourself. You've been at him, and knew that I could get things done.

w00t: Can't it be both? It worked out for BOTH of us. I call that a win. We better get off this sidewalk. I see some armed muggers up ahead, and a cop across the street just looking at them and planning on doing nothing.

Picky Minch: Wow, this place DOES suck.

?: Hey! Cut that out!

w00t and Picky looked across the street to see the TackForce walking towards them, as they dodged gun fire in the streets. They passed by a cop, who dropped his gun and ran away screaming that he wasn't racist, as they finally made it across.

w00t: What do you dilettantes want?

Saxon: Dile-what now?

Novus: We heard you talking about our leader and best friend Tack Angel's favorite city in the world. That means it's our favorite too!

Pirate Bill: Yarr, wouldn't Crystal Heaven be his favorite?

Novus: ....SECOND favorite city in the world!

w00t: Oh big deal. Who cares? It's an arbitrary invisible line surrounding an area and given a name. Who cares about Windy City?

Saxon, Novus, Pirate Bill, LG Rod, Randy no Kachi: POPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP!

w00t: *sigh* I bet you love "local sports team too*.

Saxon, Novus, Pirate Bill, LG Rod, Randy no Kachi:  LOCAL SPORTS TEAM! *clap clap clapclapclap* LOCAL SPORTS TEAM! *clap clap clapclapclap*

w00t: This is why you stick with me Picky. Otherwise you're stuck with simple minded malcontents like them.





Larry Grim: Welcome to Windy City! We're in the Bulletproof Arena, for Xperience! You know, in my previous job I was here, like a LOT! It was a very busy place. I was able to EASILY meet my quota.

Makoto Angel: Yeah, I don't like it here. Don't tell Tack. I'm sure a lot of the people are nice, and I try to always see the best in people and situations, but this happened on my way in here.

Larry Grim: Oh my God! You were shot!?

Makoto Angel: It just grazed my arm. I got stitched up, and was even given this really cute kitty bandage!

Larry Grim: ....Well...you're tougher than you look.

Makoto Angel: Comes with having to basically raise myself. It's crazy, I've never see so much violence in one place with guns, while at the same time, most of these people are really stringent about Mushroom Head prevention. They are all wearing their city government mandated hats.

Larry Grim: Yes, even though they offer little to no protection. I mean Windy City is one of the hot spots for Mushroom Head. You see the people trying to walk into the arena tonight? They kept smashing into the walls. It's making them miss when they try to shoot each other though, so I guess we should be thankful for small blessings.

Makoto Angel: My thoughts exactly. For example, we've got a great show planned for tonight.

Larry Grim: That we do, with the Weekend Wrecking Crew defending their World Tag Team Championships against TackForce in the Main Event! Of course, if you have ENN+ you already saw some incredible match ups. Hazen continues to destroy his competition in Dark Matches, and I believe he's about ready to move on up to the big show. The Angel Sisters defeated Kimber Blaze and Lt. Lacy Wagner. Now, they are former World Tag Team Champions, so does that mean Christina is lining herself up for TWO title matches? Chrissy is really shining herself. I guess you could expect that. She literally has the same potential that Christina Angel does.

Makoto Angel: So proud of them. Magnum PT's comeback tour is really heating up. Not only has he reformed the Weekend Wrecking Crew with Mike and Amigo, but he's also on a winning streak. That trip to Edo really cleared his head. We're seeing peak PT here folks. Meanwhile, Dirk Laramie....well....uh....

Larry Grim: A weird thing happened. He took on Danny Leung, in a battle of the losing streaks. Somehow, the negative forces of their losing streaks caused them both to fall out of the ring, leading to a Double Count Out. I've never seen anything like it. Well...maybe somewhere, but this one didn't involve any dice rolling.

Makoto Angel: Huh?

Larry Grim: Nothing. It's another layer of reality. You wouldn't understand.

Makoto Angel: Oh.....alright?

Larry Grim: Yeah. So, let's not waste any time, and get to our first match, with the EBW Triple Crown World Champion Bashin Dan, leading his troops against TackForce, with Subculture leading the charge. I'm sure he's really excited to be doing this too!

Backstage

Subculture was standing with Pirate Bill, Saxon, and Novus.

Subculture: I don't want to do this!

Firebrand X walked by stoically, but he could be heard chuckling under his mask.

Subculture: Don't start with me Brand! Listen, I'm NOT a member of the Angel Family. I'm married to Christina YES, and I teamed with Tack for a while YES, but I also had a killer tag team with Trevor Mach once, and I had a crush on his daughter, and that does NOT made me a Mach Family member.

Saxon: ....You had a crush on Hope?

Pirate Bill: YARR!

Subculture: DO NOT TELL CHRISTINA BILL! YOU NARC! I SAID HAD! HAD!

1. 8-Man Tag: Bashin Dan[o]/Benjamin/Jammer/Vape beat Subculture/Pirate Bill[x]/Saxon/Novus via Brave Clash -> Pin
-Hot opening bout, with Dan Club colliding with TackForce. A good showing, especially in a back and forth between Dan and Subculture, which showed that a future title bout would be very competitive. However, a Brave Clash from Dan to Bill lead to the pin and win for the Dangerous Player and his team.

Makoto Angel: Good try guys! Pirate Bill works so hard for us. He's my favorite Pirate. Don't tell Taquito though.

Larry Grim: Don't worry, he's not here. He was shot earlier.

Makoto Angel: What? Grazed like me?

Larry Grim: Nope. Through the chest. He'll pull through though.

Makoto Angel: He will?

Larry Grim: Of course. Remember who you're talking to.

Makoto Angel: Oh...right. Still, I bet it hurt.

Larry Grim: Oh absolutely!

2. Singles: Firebrand X vs. Aron Vayne -> Pin/Submission Draw
-A frantic and fantastic clashing of styles, as the rising star Aron Vayne took on Firebrand X in the best bout of the evening. Firebrand's hybrid training allowed him to counter Vayne's Judo styling, but Vayne was also able to escape X's holds and submission attempts. X managed to put Vayne in a Guillotine Choke, wrapping his legs around his body to try and take him to the mat. Vayne fell forward, and put X into a pinning position at the exact moment he tapped out, leading to a moment of confusion, before the match was declared a draw.

Larry Grim: We've never seen that before. A pin and submission at the same time. Wow. Aron Vayne has the skills. Firebrand X is one of the very best, a former World Champion, and he fell into a bit of a trap by Vayne there. Excellent counter. I hope we see a rematch soon.

Parking Lot

Ted Pettentool: Ted Pettentool here! It's been a wild night so far. I mean, it's hard for me to see in my wheelchair, cause this place isn't wheelchair accessible, but I've heard good things. Doctor says I'm lucky I didn't lose my leg. It's in real bad shape though....real bad shape. But look, it's Trevor Mach! He's entering the building with a cane, and what is that? It's a wolf!

Trevor Mach: Naw man, this is Cerberus. He's my all seeing eye dog.

Ted Pettentool: Seeing eye dog? You're not blind.

Trevor Mach: I said all seeing eye dog.

Ted Pettentool: Huh...I wonder what that means? He's adorbs though! Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?!

Cerberus: I have unending knowledge of all that is good and evil, and it is me. I am the good boy.

Ted Pettentool: Ah! What was that?

Trevor Mach: What was what?

Ted Pettentool: Never mind. You're still looking quite beaten up from your encounter with Picky Minch. Were you cleared to be here?

Trevor Mach: No, but I'm here anyways.

Ted Pettentool: What a renegade move.

Trevor Mach: Yes...exactly...."Bushido Renegade".

Ted Pettentool: Of course.

Trevor Mach: I heard Picky is here, so I'm here too. It's as simple as that. I've got something to say to him. My good boy pupper here, is just my equalizer. If you'll excuse me, I've got stuff to do. I'd move your wheelchair by the way.

Ted Pettentool: Wow, well this is getting interesting. I wonder what's going to happen? Wait, did he say move my wheelcha-

A car drove up and smashed into the side of Ted's wheelchair, sending him flying.

Ted Pettentool: AAAAHHHHHH!

3. Women's No Rules Singles: Duvalie beat Alison Chains via Chain Assisted Rear Naked Choke -> Stoppage
-Television Championship #1 Contender Alison Chains took on Duvalie in a No Rules match next. The two went all out, immediately leaving the ring to find plunder under the ring, and in the crowd. Alison Chains grabbed a gun from one of the fans, and pistol whipped the Assassin Maid. The crowd popped hard for the familiar tactic. Late in the match, Sunny and Millie Malibu ran down to assist in an attack on Chains. They tossed her back into the ring, and handed Duvalie her chain. She used the chain to choke out Alison with a Rear Naked. The referee had no choice but to stop the match, awarding the win to Duvalie.

Makoto Angel: Shucks! Duvalie with the win, but she had to have help from the Television Champion and her little sister. EBW really is a family affair, and it seems Chains won't just be dealing with one opponent for the TV title, but Sunny's sister, and the whole of Eisenritter.

After the match, EBW Television Champion Picky Minch made his way down to the ring, with w00t, Maurice, and Cadmus. The crowd booed him loudly.

Picky Minch: Hold on guys. You've got the wrong idea about me. I LOVE your local sports teams.

Crowd: POPOPOPOPOPOPOP!

Picky Minch: Too easy. People just say things, and we believe them. I believed that Trevor Mach was my friend for so long, and I allowed myself to be held back. To be held down. Imagine if I spent my career where Trevor Mach was. Imagine if I had beaten him years earlier. You spend your whole career thinking someone is better than you, and it stifles you, keeps you from reaching your full potential. I beat Trevor Mach. I am better than Trevor Mach. I-

Trevor suddenly appeared on the stage, with Cerberus.

Trevor Mach: You got lucky kid. You got lucky.

Picky Minch: Trevor, you look like shit.

Trevor Mach: You don't look much better Picky. Like I was saying, you got lucky. I'm not saying you didn't win, but we let the judges decide that ending. Does that sit well with you?

Picky Minch: ...I'm fine with it.

Trevor Mach: I call bullshit. I'm still up here, standing, and calling you out. You wanted me truly beaten. You wanted me gone. w00t does too, and that's why he helped turn you against me. Neither of you got what you REALLY wanted, and it's pissing you off.

Picky Minch: I have this. I have the Challenge Championship. I got this from you. That makes it more valuable than any other title to me, because it's my physical proof that I stopped the "Bushido Renegade". I made the Bushido Mission MY mission.

Trevor Mach: It was always OUR mission my dude. We were in this together. If you felt held back, you could have picked a fight any time you wanted, but you didn't have to do it like this. We could have still been friends win or lose. You think you're better than me. That's fine. I'll be happy to prove you wrong Picky. You know, you had my respect once, but now you have my title, and I want that back. I want my rematch.

Picky Minch: Neither of us are cleared to compete. We won't be for Maelstrom either, otherwise I'd give you that rematch. I'd beat your ass again! I'd win AGAIN!

Trevor Mach: Is that what you think? If you're so sure of yourself, what's stopping us? They can't stop us from fighting. I'm challenging you. I'm calling your ass out. At Maelstrom, I'm challenging you to an Unsanctioned Street Fight, and I mean a fight in the streets. I've got the place in mind.

w00t: NO! You don't get to call the shots here Mach. Picky beat you. He proved that you're a loser, like I've been saying. You're nothing but a parasite, sucking the life out of EBW, but he beat you, just like I would have, but this is just as good to me. You're done. You've lost. You're-

Picky Minch: On.

w00t: What?!

Picky Minch: You're on. It's obvious you haven't gotten the message, so that's fine. The title obviously won't be on the line though.

Trevor Mach: It's not about the title. It's about pride.

Picky Minch: I couldn't agree more.

w00t: You're making a mistake.

Picky Minch: It's mine to make.

After the confrontation, Trevor Mach walked to the back. He passed by Lady M's.

Lady M's: Is this your idea of taking it easy?

Trevor Mach: Hey, you know me. I couldn't help myself.

Lady M's: *sigh* Heh. Don't ever change.

-

Back from commercial, the James Sisters were now in the ring, with mics in hand.

Jenny James: Let's cut to the chase, and make this quick. We're calling out the bitches that signed that petition, plain and simple.

Jessica James: If you want someone gone, you do it in this ring, and you beat the hell out of them. You don't sign some paper to get them gone. You were just jealous that the Angels were more popular than you. You have to work for your spot. You fight for it.

Jenny James: You want to make a real statement. Come out here now, and fight us. Get your spotlight. Get your match in. Lady M's isn't crafting a division of weak cowards. Don't hide behind lists. Don't hide behind masks. Come out here now, and fight.

Two women came out in masks, and stepped into the ring. They both looked at each other, and pulled off their masks.

Makoto Angel: Whoa! I wasn't expecting that! Kimber Blaze?! Calamity Jane?! They're from two different tag teams, and yet they're teaming up here?

Larry Grim: So they signed the petition huh? They've been working to get rid of the Angels? They're attacking the James Sisters? We're not wasting anytime! Let's go!

EBW World

Nerma: Nerma here, with your EBW World update for the day! As was previously mentioned by the boss himself, EBW will be holding a very special Xcite soon, called "Winter is Cold", and while I agree with the sentiment, the naming convention leaves a little to be desired. We can add a match to that card, that is already going to see Bashin Dan defend the Triple Crown against Cade, with Mav Valentine as the Special Referee. That match addition will see Cadmus take on Subculture in a No Rules match. Apparently, Cadmus requested the match himself, and Subculture never turns down a fight. It'll be interesting to see what they have planned.

Nerma: Also, we've got the card for MFC 2, and it's a doozy, with big matches top to bottom. A First Takedown Match with Strike Only. A First Takedown Match with NO Strikes at all! Hazen will be in action, for the first time in a Non-Dark Match capacity. Firebrand X seemed to enjoy that challenge from Aron Vayne, he's fighting the Judoka in his own wheelhouse. Kimber Blaze will be in action for the first time since revealing herself as one of the signers of the anti-Angel petition, when she take on Lainey Strong, who also lost her partner in that petition. The main event however, grew from a challenge to Picky Minch. A Street Fight. I'm told it's Last Man Fighting Rules. It was Non-Sanctioned, but it got that sanctioning, and it's now a rematch for the Challenge Championship. Both men are still bruised up, with stitches, but they refuse to wait. Either Picky Minch goes 2-0, or the Bushido Renegade evens the balance. We'll find out on the next Maelstrom event. MFC 2!

Fray Tiburon sat across from Jeff Andonuts, as he pulled a large piece of paper from his bag and laid it out on the table.

Fray Tiburon: Well? What am I looking at here?

Jeff Andonuts: You can't tell? Look at it.

Fray Tiburon: I really have to get back to looking for KYO. I haven't seen him since last night, and I'm worried.

Jeff Andonuts: Does he ever go out on his own?

Fray Tiburon: Not lately.

Jeff Andonuts: Right. For good reason too.

Fray Tiburon: He was doing better. I have to hope he's doing all right. Seriously though, what am I looking at here?

Jeff Andonuts: This, might be tied to KYO, and everything else that's happened before. I might be on the trail of something huge. This is...everything.



Fray Tiburon: ...Help me out here.

Jeff Andonuts: I received a signal, from someplace else.

Fray Tiburon: The so called..."Sanctum Space"?

Jeff Andonuts: No, but it traveled THROUGH it. That lead me to this. I gathered all the evidence I could for it. All the years of strange events. The end of the multiverse, and the other entities, and I devised this map. It's crude, and obviously not to scale, but work with me here. We live here, in the universe. I used Earth...and it's counterparts that now reside here, swirling around the sun. But believe me, the universe is MUCH MUCH bigger.

Fray Tiburon: ....I went to school Jeff. I figured as much.

Jeff Andonuts: Right....right of course. It's just-

Fray Tiburon: I'm a Friar.

Jeff Andonuts: Science bias. Forgive me.

Fray Tiburon: Sure sure. That's what we do.

Jeff Andonuts: Surrounding the Universe, is the area we have labeled "Sanctum Space". I've been there. It was a physical experience. There WAS a void there too, but that's gone, so we can assume that "Sanctum Space" has encompassed our reality entirely. I feel that is what lead to the shrinking presence of the-

Fray Tiburon: "Celestials".

Jeff Andonuts: Huh...you do know your stuff. Apparently, it was easier to travel through the void. I'm guessing. It's all theory right now. The point is they traveled THROUGH it, meaning they came from somewhere. It got me thinking. I heard the term "Avatar of the Author" thrown around on more than one occasion. What if we have a Metaverse layer on TOP of everything else! The will of the Metaverse, fed through "Sanctum Space", is what dictates OUR Universe.

Fray Tiburon: That's....certainly a theory.

Jeff Andonuts: I think I'm right on this, and don't worry, it doesn't contradict your....stuff...that YOU do. Everything you hold dear may very well originate from a different place. That's all. I think that's where I got this message. I think it came from there, and it was trying to warn me of something. I spoke to Face and Cole, and before we follow this lead, they want us to do something.

Fray Tiburon: Us? What's that?

Jeff Andonuts: Scientifically and Theologically prove my theory. Together.

Fray Tiburon: Oh boy.

Jeff Andonuts: I know right? Going to be a blast! Excelsior!
