Earlier Today....

Onett Hospital

Lily Belle Hopper and a Lakitu seemed to "find" Tack Angel leaving the hospital, though it seemed more like a scripted surprise.

Lily Belle Hopper: Hop hop? Wow, I did not expect to see the NEW Triple Crown World Champion here. What are you doing here Tack? Were you injured by Benjamin?

Tack Angel: These bandages? It's not as bad as it looks. It was just something I needed done before going forward. Nothing to worry about.

Lily Belle Hopper: I'm so thrilled for your coronation ceremony tonight! What can we expect?

Tack Angel: Well, I've been thinking about that a lot. What would happen? Who might appear? I think I've got it all figured out. You can expect the same thing you'll be able to expect every time I show up somewhere. The King will teach a lesson, and he'll get what he wants.

Lily Belle Hopper: Wow! So exciting!

Iwata Memorial Arena - Parking Lot

Alison Chains got off her motorcycle, and as she took off the helmet, she saw Erica leaving her limo and approaching her.

Alison Chains: Whatever you have to say, save it. I don't want to hear it.

Erica: I understa-

Alison Chains: I said save it!

Erica: No, you listen to me. If you want a match with Erica Eisen, you can have it. I don't run away. I like a fancy life, but I'm more than willing to fight. That's not an issue. The issue here, is that I'm not a member of "Skulls & Bones".

Alison Chains: Right. You know, faking a beating to take suspicion off of you was smart, but it's been done.

Erica: These scars are real. That beating, the humiliation....that was real. I don't like being in this position. I hate it, but the truth is, if we're going to have anything left to fight over, we have to stick together against them. Do NOT take the bait. They want you thinking I'm with them. I'm not.

Alison Chains: Bitch, do you see the other member of "C.O.D.E" with me right now? No. I came here alone. What does that tell you? I don't trust anybody right now. Tali's kid and the "Princess" are off in the TUE house, but the James Sisters and I have an understanding right now. We're not going to expect anyone to look out for us. We're all on our own. Didn't you say that yourself at one point? Hell, it's what caused Kaie to turn on you. Now she's gone. One less person to fight the "Skulls & Bones". Gee, how convenient.

Erica: ...Like I said, I will fight you, any time and any place, but I am NOT one of them. I am an Eisen, and that holds more value to me than anything else. I want a division to rule, not to destroy. If you were smarter, you'd realize that. I'm not going to try to convince you any further, but I WILL be in the ring tonight, ready for you.

Alison Chains: Tell your "friends" I said go *bleep* themselves.





Apple Kid: Welcome to Onett EBW fans! We are LIVE for Xcite! I'm Apple Kid, the new permanent commentator apparently, because Tommy and Nerma really DID quit. Gee thanks Tack. I'm joined by.....no one. I'm doing this solo. I'm by myself for Xcite. It's cool. It's fine. I've been doing this for years. I'm one of the EBW OGs. I mean sure, I've been spending most of my time getting swiped on tinder lately, but I'm FULL of confidence! *sigh* Lucca, please call me? We have a HUGE show tonight. We're talking coronations and title matches! I told you all about this on EBW World. They really have me doing a LOT lately. I'm an impact player, what can I say. We of course had some ENN+ matches to open the show, and those aren't such a bad thing, BUT the ENN++ Premium Main Events might be coming to an end, due to a compromise with the network, but first those ENN+ matches. Rains continues to batter his old jobber fodder teammates, finding a new life with Bad News Barry. Good News Gary continues to be distraught about it. Gold beat BeShemoth with a Golden Exploder, and the big and muscular BeShemoth seemed fed up after the loss, showing more and more that she's mad she hasn't progressed. Tomo continues to be the best thing that could have happened to "Team Sazh", as he and Yvgenny beat Tiburon and Leos in tag action. Great stuff right? Don't you wish you could've seen it? Gotta get that tier. Tonight, we celebrate the crowning of a NEW EBW Triple Crown World Champion. Tack Angel will have his coronation, but we're going to begin things in a big way too. "Blood 4 Blood" is in action against "The Shark Order". Let's go do that ring thing! I'll work on my catch phrase!

EBW: Xcite
Iwata Memorial Arena, Onett
ENN

0. ENN+ Match Singles: Rains beat Nosan via Rainsmaker -> Pin
0. ENN+ Match Women's Singles: Gold beat BeShemoth via Golden Exploder -> Pin
0. ENN+ Match Tag: Ishihiro Tomo[o]/Yvgenny beat Fray Tiburon/Javier Leos[x] via Brainbuster -> Pin
1. 6-Man Tag: Trevor Mach/Mav Valentine/Picky Minch[o] beat Big Shark/Randy no Kachi/LG Rod[x] via Hagen Suplex -> Pin
-"Blood 4 Blood" locked up with "The Shark Order", in that latter's group's biggest match to date, with Baby Shark cheering on the outside, also apparently a "Blood 4 Blood" fan. A respectful, but competitive bout, with Mach working hurt after the vicious Bushido Den, but still locked up with Rod and Randy, who are still respectful to him for giving them back their lives, but he still doesn't recall that ever happening. Finish came when Mav hit a running high knee to Rod, before tagging Picky in. He whipped Rod to Picky, who shot around to hit a crisp Hagen Suplex for the pin.

Apple Kid: And a good win for the "Blood 4 Blood" team. They continue to succeed with titles and wins, though Mav was unable to get the Television Championship, at least Subculture grabbed the gold, and he defends later tonight, but right now, it looks like Trevor Mach, the 4-Time Challenge Champion, is grabbing the mic.

Trevor Mach: Give it up for "Blood 4 Blood!" We're the best there is. My boys Mav and Picky here, and Subculture, the Television Champion. However, at this point....I got to talk about "Bad Dudes". Tack and I, we were untouchable, and we will go down in the history, as one of the greatest teams in wrestling EVER. We dominated. We beat everyone. Heh...but we weren't healthy. We had a disease inside of us, and that disease's name was Tack Angel. History is full of people like you Tack. You smile to my face, while you stab me in the back. At least when I stab, I do it right in front of you. I let you know it's coming, and I even hold up the knife. I wouldn't call that honor, but it's better than a fake, phony, liar like you. For years, you presented yourself as the moral center. The force for good. I respected that. I looked up to that. It helped me I think. It helped correct the balance. You threw EVERYTHING off kilter when you kicked me in the head, and you made me think for a while that true heroes didn't exist. We're all hypocrites. Now, I'm thinking differently. I'm thinking, that if EBW needs a hero, then it's going to get a "Dark Hero", and make no mistake, these are dark hero days. You got a tyrant with the Triple Crown. A man who stabbed his brother in the back, because he couldn't handle the bantz. That was all it took, something so small and stupid. A man who spanked a woman in the ring, and battered Fray Tiburon, mi padre por asi decrilo. A man who can't get enough women in his life, when I have one woman that's more woman than any you've got, and that's all I could ask for. A man who threatened my family, and put a restraining order on me for fear of what I was going to do next. You should be afraid Tack. A restraining order won't hold forever. We're wrestlers, and if you had any guts, you'd give me, and everyone watching what they want. A match, titles for title. You and me. Oh, you always go for the guarantee though right? Hiding is much easier. It's much safer for you. Still, I'm going to get the opportunity to rearrange your face eventually. I will. Your nose isn't going to be where it is anymore. It's going to be over here....by your ear. I say ear, because you're only going to have one left. I'm going to rip your hair out by the roots and stuff it in your mouth! There will plenty of room, where your teeth used to be. Tack Angel, my "brother", you're scum, and we're all looking forward to what you have to say tonight during your "coronation." Stand out here and lie through your teeth. Turns out you were the true bullshit artist between us. I stand in awe of your ability to twist yourself into a saint like figure. You're not saint. Like I said, you're scum. Want to prove me wrong? Want to make me kneel? Apologize? Not much chance "buddy", but a title match would be a great way to-

Benjamin: Stop.

The crowd went wild as Benjamin made his way into the ring, sporting a black eye, and a bandage around his head.

Trevor Mach: Lookin' a little beat up Benji. You lost? This ring is "Blood 4 Blood" territory right now.

Benjamin: I'm not lost. I know exactly where I am, and what I'm here for. Trevor, you know I have respect for you. A great deal of it. However, even though I didn't have a rematch clause in my contract, I still want another shot at Tack Angel. He beat me at my highest, and the come down is hard. It's been seen time and time again. Those of us in "Dan Club" find the strength to bounce back, and jump even higher next time. I believe in myself enough to know that I can do that. I can beat him. I can win back the Triple Crown. I KNOW I CAN! I will take you on if I have to, but-

Trevor Mach: Brah, that takes guts to come out here and say right now, but the fact is, that coward is keeping me at a distance with legal bullshit. You are the former champ. You didn't get there by asking for it. You took your shot. I'm not going to stand in your way. You want to take your shot? Take your shot! If you think those title are yours, then take back what is yours. I've got-

Hazen: More problems to deal with anyways.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* What is this? We're just kind of overlapping here. Can you people take a number?

Hazen: Afraid not. We come and go as we please, and right now, I'm going to have a word with you. You got lucky. You survived one of us, and so far, no one else can say the same. No one else, but you, will be able to say that, and we'll make you regret having survived us once. You should not be looking at Tack Angel. Look right here.

Trevor Mach: Oh, you want a match? I've been DYING to kick your ass specifically. Come and get it.

Hazen: Not here, and not now. We set the time and place. Your President has agreed to our terms for a match, now it is up to you. You claim Tack Angel is a coward, but how brave are you, and are you willing to put others in danger as well?

Trevor Mach: The hell are you talking about?

Hazen: War Games. I'm talking about War Games. In 2 weeks, EBW will present another event on ENN+, and it is there, that we wish to face "Blood 4 Blood" in the War Games Match. The EBW World Team Championship Rings will be on the line, but if we win, then we of course keep our rings, AND get to decide which one of us faces you next for the Challenge Championship, and in what kind of Match. Do you accept?

Trevor Mach: I know I do, but it's not official unless we all do. Guys?

Mav Valentine: You know I'm in. No question.

Picky Minch: We still owe them for that Crystal Heaven Street Fight. Of course I'm in.

Benjamin: ...Uh...I'm not Subculture.

Trevor Mach: Right. I'm not sure why I gave you the microphone. My bad. Well, I'm sure he's in too! Fine! Since Tack continues to duck me, then I'll take my aggression out on the "War Kings" in a War Games. First you guys, and then Tack. I'd call myself a "Kingslayer", but I don't want to come off like a little bitch. Benji? Remember what I said. Take your shot.

Apple Kid: Wow, that was all over the place! Trevor venting about Tack, only for Benjamin to make it clear he wanted the shot, and in a surprise twist, Trevor liked the sound of it, only for the "War Kings" to suddenly come at "Blood 4 Blood" with the big stakes War Games Match. Everybody get that? A lot to take in, but I'd be happy to spell it out if I have to. Yes, you did hear right, EBW is doing another ENN+ event in 2 weeks. That is part of the compromise reached with the network. I'm just now hearing about this myself. Instead of ENN++ Premium Main Events, we'll get more content on the + Tier. I guess that's a win right? The next event is being called "Dark Hero Days", and we've already got the War Games booked. Should be an exciting show from that alone, but we got a lot of show left tonight, so don't go anywhere!

Backstage

Benjamin breathed a large sigh as he was quickly approached by Jammer and Lainey Strong.

Jammer: Well, that's one way to do man. Props.

Lainey Strong: That was incredible! I'm so proud of you!

Jammer: I mean they could have beat you down. You were stuck between a rock and hard place out there.

Benjamin: I had to do it. I have to make a stand. I refused to bow, and I lost, but that doesn't make him right. That doesn't mean I'm not worthy to be the Triple Crown World Champion. I believe in myself. Frog believed in me enough to hand me the Masamune. You all believed in me enough to make me part of "Dan Club". You believed in me enough to be my fair maiden Lainey. I may never quite assimilate to this world, but I will never falter in my quest to make sure you have good reason to believe in me.

Jammer: Hey...whatever works man. I don't know what to say here. I have b-ball metaphors, but I don't think you'd get them. Where is Dan? He'd give you a better pep talk! Dan?! I'll go look for him. Dan?!

Lainey Strong: I think it's great. I really am proud.

Benjamin: I just want to always be worthy of you.

Lainey Strong: Heh. You're so silly. I guess the whole chivalry thing is part of the charm. You never have to worry about being worthy. You just need to never stop being you.

Benjamin smiled, and the two walked after Jammer hand in hand.

2. Women's Non-Title Tag: Jenny James/Jessica James vs. Ines/Ennea ended in a No Contest
-After what happened at Kingdom Come, the question was now if Duvalie was willing to throw the Women's World Championship Match at the behest of Tack Angel, but with Christina back at the TUE House, The James Sisters felt the need to try and beat some answers out of Ines and Ennea. A strong start to the brawl, but of course it was not to be, as before long the "Skulls & Bones" attacked yet again, leaving all four women laying on the mat. Jessica James seemingly having enough, as she spit blood and asked for a mic.

Jessica James: I am 100% done with this bullshit. Look, I'm going to be real with everyone here. Once upon a time, Jenny and I were "Skulls & Bones", but that was a different time, with a different purpose. This, this is just wasting my damn time! I'm here to fight, not to screw around with No Contest after No Contest. I want results, and I know Jenny does too, but I'm not going to speak for her on this one. This is me making this challenge. I want to see at least two of you outside the arena at Dark Hero Days. Encircled with bikes, we'll fight it out until someone blacks out. If I can't beat you, then I'm out of here. I'll be done in EBW, because if this is all we've got ahead of us, then I'm going to LOSE IT!

Jenny James: You'd be done? We didn't talk about this. What's gotten into yo-

Jessica James: I'm speaking for me here!

Jenny James: *sigh* Of course I'm going to be there too. It takes two psycho bitches to beat biker wannabe trash.

Jessica James: We'll even make it for the titles! How about that? You can actually have a match and try and win something. Whatever it takes! I want a fight! A face to face fight! A REAL confrontation! Don't just ride away! Answer me dammit!

S&B Member: ....*nods*

Jessica James: Great! Wonderful! See you then bitches! *spits*

Backstage

The James Sister walked to the back, with Jenny trying to stop her sister.

Jenny James: Hey! Jessica! Answer me! Stop!

Jessica James: What?!

Jenny James: What the hell brought that on? We've taken beating before.

Jessica James: I'm sick of it! What am I here fighting for?! This division is falling apart, and we're not exactly team players who could glue it back together! I'm here for you of course, but do you even need me anymore?

Jenny James: What do you mean?

Jessica James: You have that goofball with the basketballs and his friends! I had Hope! HAD! She's....she's with Dan...and she's happy. It's time I fish or cut bait Jenny. Either I figure out what I'm doing here, or I figure out what I'm doing somewhere else, but I'm not playing this game anymore. The games were supposed to be over.

Jenny James: .....

3. Handicap: Hazen[o]/Radzi Schrieffer/Golvoth beat Ilya Fedorovich via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin
-A bizarre ritual occurred next, as the "War Kings" and their manager all came out, with a somber Ilya Fedorovich hanging his head low. He stood in the ring, as the other "Kings" surrounded him.

Hazen: Failure is not an option in the "War Kings", but even we are forgiving if a price is paid in blood, and you have opted to pay that price Ilya. Hold your head up, grit your teeth, and defend yourself like your life is on the line, because it just might be.

The other three "Kings" took turns battering and wearing down Ilya, in a gruesome display of in ring violence, with the kinds of kicks, chops, and slams that would make garbage wrestlers wish for their light tubes and staple guns to hide their lack of ability. Hazen finished Ilya off with a Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver, and he pinned him for the obvious win. After the bout, the three men helped up Ilya, and raised his hand, showing he had paid the price, and was redeemed from his loss.

Apple Kid: Well, that's a violent as hell way of settling things. I would say I was too aghast to watch the abhorrent scene, but that would reveal how much I read the thesaurus.

Weekend Wrecking Crew Locker Room

Kinniku Mike was watching video of his son training at the TUE House from his phone as Sal paced back and forth.

Sal Paradise: I don't know if this is the best idea tonight. I'm not in my best shape, and I have a lot of ring rust. On the other hand, I need to keep this going, if my post in-ring life as a successful manager is going to pan out. On the other other hand, every time I've tried to compete lately I get beaten senseless because I'm not firing on all cylinders. On the other other other hand, I- Mike are you listening?

Kinniku Mike: Huh? I was just watching my kid train. Crazy how much things change you know?

Sal Paradise: Tell me about it. Remember when we were at each other's throats? We were on different tag teams, and then we were forced somewhat to team up, just like now.

Kinniku Mike: Yep. You totally brought us down then too.

Sal Paradise: No, that was on you. I feel like a different person from back then. We grow older, and we change I guess. Except for Jamie OD....he's dead. I had a vicious streak, but that's to Facenol, I managed to kick that. Now, I just want to manage the best of the best like you, Amigo, and PT. PT is in Mid-South, and he'll be back, but I feel like if we don't get Amigo back in the fold, we're going to fall apart.

Kinniku Mike: Relax. Amigo just has to figure stuff out. He's a complex guy. This is an improvement though. He WAS trying to die, and now he's not. Simple!

Sal Paradise: *sigh* Yeah. Simple. What's my horoscope like today? Maybe It'll be good news and it'll fill me with confidence. "Expect to feel several bone tremors, and to be perceived by all around you as a disgrace. You will later be involved in an accident involving a screen door." Wow, that's oddly specific.

Kinniku Mike: Sal, with the STRONG TITS on your side, you're going to be fine. We're great as a tag team!

Sal Paradise: No! We were just talking about how bad we were as a tag team!

Kinniku Mike: Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry, I was distracted again.

Sal Paradise: Your son?

Kinniku Mike: No, the tits on Wendy Mustang. Look at em.

Sal Paradise: I DON'T NEED TO- oh wow.

Kinniku Mike: Yeah man.

Sal Paradise: Yeah....OW MY BONE TREMORS!

4. Women's Singles: Alison Chains beat Erica via Tombstone Piledriver -> Pin
-The next match saw Alison Chains taking on Erica, in a bout stemming from Chains believing that Erica is a member of the "Skulls & Bones", but not really caring if she's wrong, as the former "Eisenritter" leader seemingly had a beating coming according to the "C.O.D.E" member. The bikers were shown watching this back and forth match, with Erica seemingly bother by their presence, claiming she has no connection to them at all. The distractions were all that Chains needs to play a little dirty, and beat the former World Champion with a Tombstone Piledriver.

Apple Kid: Erica taking the loss there, with Chains calling the "Skulls & Bones" to the ring, but they're simply riding off. It's hard to say if Erica is associated with them or not, but Alison Chains doesn't seem to care. At least we got a good women's match uninterrupted. I like the women's matches. *sigh* Call me Lucca? Please?

5. EBW Television Championship: Subculture(c) beat Vape via KO Punch x Counter Culture -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Main event time, as Subculture took on Vape, the #1 Contender to his new Television Championship. Vape demanded that Arliss stay away from the ring, as he intended to shatter the internet, and shake the world, by defeating Subculture and claiming the title. A big, bold, and brash statement.....that did not come to pass. Subculture bobbed and weaved, able to avoid Vape's offense, and jumped off the second rope to bop the much taller Vape on the chin with the KO Punch, setting him up for the Counter Culture and the pin.

Apple Kid: Well, a good win for Subculture, but Vape folded like a lawn chain in his biggest match to date. That's a real shame. Still, good for the "Green Bomber", who is hooting and hollering it up with the fans. He's got a lot of energy to be sure, to be sure. That was a test to see if someone would read that part out loud. Anyways, that was the main event in regards to wrestling action, but the ceremony is still to come. The coronation of the NEW EBW Triple Crown World Champion, Tack Angel.

The music began to play, but Tack Angel was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he appeared on the screen, LIVE from Crystal Heaven sitting on a throne, with Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune at his sides.



Tack Angel: Were you expecting me there? Expecting me to stand in the middle of that ring, and take in the disdain of the jealous masses? Hardly. I've got you all figured out. You're not thrilled with my success....yet, but in time, when you see that I'm right, and that I'm justified, and that everything I'm doing is because of you, you'll come around. Until then, I don't mind having my "coronation" here, at my home in Crystal Heaven. You all think my actions up to this point have been extreme for me, but you haven't seen anything yet, because this has been long over due. You think I'm wrong, but I'm right. I'm the hero. I'm the innocent. Even if I wasn't. Even if I wasn't justified, if a King does something he believes in....it's never wrong. So here we are, you get a glimpse into my world, as we celebrate my becoming the Triple Crown World Champion, and with that said, I have something to show all of you. The old center belt of the Triple Crown needed an upgrade, something befitting a true champion, and so I present this ornate title belt, covered in silver, platinum, diamonds, and sapphire. Several Pokemon games. Come on and laugh. That was a joke. I'm a clown to you remember? Haha right? This title shows off the true prestige that comes with being a World Champion and being a King. I-

Suddenly, Benjamin's theme began to play back at the arena, as the former champ came back out to "call his shot".

Tack Angel: *sigh* Another reason we're not doing this in the ring. Unwanted interruptions. You're not needed here, unless you have come to kneel and show your respect.

Benjamin: I DID have respect for you once, but not anymore. I'm here for my rematch.

Tack Angel: You don't GET a rematch Knight. You didn't have one in your contract, and I don't owe you one. I don't owe you anything. You owe me awe. You owe me respect. Kneel, and beg for a title shot, like I had to beg for years and years for you, and everyone else to respect me and my family. Kneel and apologize. Now.

Benjamin: No. I will not kneel to you. I figured a man that was taken to the limit by me, and seen leaving the hospital in bandages would want to get over that embarrassment by defeating me soundly.

Tack Angel: Trying to go for the ego are we? Nice try, but it's not going to work. I don't get manipulated like that. You think you took me to the limit? I've been doing this for nearly 2 decades, and before that, I honed myself as a black belt. You taking me to the limit? Hardly Benjamin. You want to know about these bandages? See for yourself.

Tack opened his shirt to reveal burn scars on his body.

Tack Angel: You see these? Tattoos that needed to be burned off. This one said "Bad Dudes". This one said "87's". These were lies I needed to purge off of myself. The final step towards what I am now. The Triple Crown World Champion and King of Crystal Heaven. It had nothing to do with you. You're talented. You have skills. You fought a good fight, but you thought you could stop me as I am now, and THAT was your biggest mistake. I'm not going to be a victim. I'm not going to be a joke. You can't make me give you a title shot. Your only hope is to beg. Kneel and beg. Wait...I have an idea. A wager for you Knight. One with a high price. We'll see if you're willing to pay.

Benjamin: Name it.

Tack Angel: You can have your rematch at the poorly named Dark Hero Days, and if you win, you get this back. You'll even have this beautiful and ornate new title belt. However, WHEN you lose, you're lady friend Lainey Strong, will have to pledge herself as a servant to me.

Benjamin: What?! You really have lost it! What is wrong with you?

Tack Angel: Everything is right with me. For once, I'm in control here, and I'm pouring out all my frustrations, so that's the way it is. The King has spoken, and made you an offer. Do you accept?

Benjamin: I don't control Lainey, like you control the women in your life. I respect her. I-

Tack Angel: How dare you. Again, you have it all wrong! Do NOT presume to know what my family-

Benjamin: Don't presume that I'm willing to make a wager like that! Lainey Strong is-

Lainey Strong: Accepting your wager on behalf of Benjamin.

Benjamin: What?! Lainey?

Tack Angel: Done. It's official. You have your rematch. Goodnight.

The screen suddenly went black, as a baffled Benjamin stared at Lainey to close out the show.

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* Tangelo here. How do. It's time for another installment of Wide World of Wrestling. Today, we have a big announcement to make, a word from EBW's Blood 4 Blood stable, and a some big title changes in Mid-South. We'll start with that....the big title changes. That's where we'll start. So, I'm going to start there. Blood 4 Blood finally lost the Mid-South 6-Man Tag titles, to a legend team comprising on Barry "The Master" Lawless, "Mega Star" Phil Dunfee, and "Dirty" Dick Wagner. I know what you're thinking? What shirt are you wearing? Well it's a new shirt I bought at the drug store. I buy lots of things from drug stores...stuff you wouldn't expect to be at drug stores. Oh, you're probably also thinking how the elite group from EBW fell to this Mid-South trio. Well, that's the power of the indies for you....also the War Kings got involved. Radzi Schrieffer, injected himself specifically, smashing Mav with a hard right, and the former World Champion stumbled right into the Piledriver. He wasn't thrilled about it....obviously. Mav, Subculture, and Picky were invoking "Threebird Rules", as Trevor Mach was not in Mid-South, and they were not happy about losing the titles in such a way.



Mav Valentine: Alright War Kings, let's make something clear. You didn't need to get my attention! I was already in the game! I was already looking forward to getting you assholes in that cage! War Games was going to be a lot of FUN for me! You think we're just sitting by, waiting to get dragged into things? No, we all agreed that "dethroning" the War Kings made for an entertaining hobby. I'm already pissed. You know why? I keep moving down the line on the title shot I earned, by becoming the only man to win "The Golden Tournament" two times, and two times IN A ROW! That's me! That's what I accomplished! What did you do tonight? You cost us our titles and you made me REALLY MAD! So great job! You earning that ass beating that's coming your way. I'd tell you to stay in your lane, but we're not like that. The four of us, in Blood 4 Blood, we want you to jump the rails, and come for us, because if you're allowed to do that, then it means we weren't already doing it to you, so we weren't doing our jobs. Thanks....thanks for the wake up call. Last year was my year for a damn good reason, and I'm going to show ya. You bet I'm going to sho-

Subculture: Alright! Let me speak on this a bit! I'm TIRED, of acting like a civilized member of society, when I am, and I'll always be, a STREET DOG! Vicious, and bad to the bone! That's how I won this Television Championship! That's how I find my success! I put in the mouth piece, and I go wild PARTNA! So I'm gonna be, what I'm gonna be, and that's a War King ass kicker!

Picky Minch: Bro, I'm feeling the energy, but where is this coming from?

Subculture: Just being myself! It's hardcore to be real about your feelings dog! My wife told me to be myself, and I love that woman to death, for allowing me to open up to my feelings, which is a badass thing to do!

Picky Minch: Huh....is that right? Is that cool now? I

Subculture: I've been dealing with a lot of problems myself, what with Tack Angel trying to bring my own MOTHA into this! You know better to bring family into these issues! I'll fight like hell for family! This group? Blood 4 Blood? This is family too, so WAR KINGS, you came after family tonight, and that's gonna cost ya!

Picky Minch: ...Uh yeah...I'm into to too. The War Kings are going to pay at War Games, but I'm like...very distracted by the rage monster spilling out his feelings right now.

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* In other news on the Mid-South show, Magnum PT, who has been working the territory, uplifted the Unified World Championship from Johnny Starbound. That's right folks, Magnum PT has gone from a losing streak a few years back, to a World Champion. The territories bring out the best in some people, and one of those people is obviously Magnum PT....I mean look....he won the Unified World Championship. That's the proof of that I'd think.

Mid-South Wrestling 4-EVER

Channel 5

1. Mid-South Regional 6-Man Tag Team Championships: Barry Lawless[o]/Phil Dunfee/Dick Wagner beat Mav Valentine<EBW>(c)[x]/Subculture<EBW>(c)/Picky Minch<EBW>(c) via Piledriver -> Pin -> NEW Mid-South Regional 6-Man Tag Team Champions!
2. Unified World Championship: Magnum PT<EBW> beat Johnny Starbound(c) via Mustache Ride -> Pin -> NEW Unified World Champion!

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* More bad news for Trevor Mach, as he has been stripped of the Championship Wrestling from Summers Brass Knuckles Heritage Title, for failing to defend the title in Summers, in which he is banned from doing thanks to the Mayor, his Father-in-Law. While agreeing to defend the title just outside of Summers, this was apparently a decision made with help from Mayor Rex....naturally. Mach promptly sent the valued and prestigious antique belt back....in pieces. That leaves Blood 4 Blood with the VBW Tag Team Championships, which they WILL be able to defend, when I talk about the next big announcement....which is right now. The territories are gearing up for another big event, that will take place right in EBW's backyard...well actually the front yard. Outside of the Saturn Dome to be exact, and the VBW Team Team Champions are scheduled to be defended. This could be the moment VBW gets their titles back. They have been working hard to find a worthy team. Meanwhile Razorblade might not make it to that show as champ, after what happened at today's VBW show. That's where I'm getting all of this info. They had a show today. Try and keep up. Razorblade came out to a heroes' welcome, telling everyone he didn't beat Bashin Dan for them or for VBW, but for himself. Basically a chance for the "One Man War" to pat himself on the back. However, on the way to the back, he was violently attacked by none other than Bashin Dan.



Bashin Dan: This is what it comes down to? This is what you live for? I get it. Thanks to my matches with you, and some hard lessons from Firebrand X last year, I get it. Any card, so long as it exists has the potential to be useful. Someone who would reject his cards by calling them trash doesn't deserve to be competitor. But you Razorblade, you go to this well first and foremost. You go here not out of competition, but because of hate. If the roles were reversed, you'd batter me in the head with this chair I'm sure, but I'm not going to do that. I don't have to do that. I know that puts me at a disadvantage, but that's the life I choose to live. I want another shot at you. I want another shot at that title belt. "Dark Hero Days" are coming, and what better time and place for a rematch. However, I've got a proposal for you, something to align the odds further in your favor even. We'll have the match, but it'll be here. It'll be here in front of a VBW crowd. Here, I'll show you and then, that the heart of a fighter, makes you a more "Dangerous Player" than any weapon you could hold in your hand.

The Mach Farm

Trevor Mach paced back and forth on the porch of his farm house, talking on a cell while watching Justice and Truth playing around Robo as the machine man attempted to help plow the fields.

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* What? You guys lost the 6-Man belts? War Kings? Of course it was War Kings! *sigh* I already threw the Brass Knuckles belt into the wheat thresher, and mailed it back in bits. It's not my weekend! *sigh* No, it's not yours either is it? Sorry guys, I should have been there.

Subculture: *on the phone* Nah man, don't you worry about it partna! This was our call, and we dropped the ball on it! It's aight, you can tell me how you're feeling about it!

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* ....Did you get brain damaged today Subbie?

Picky Minch: *on the phone* He's being "real".

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* Oh no.

Subculture: *on the phone* Oh yeah, I'm tired of hiding it! I'm a loose cannon, and it's time people figure that out! You of all people should get to know, because we're best friends and brothers!

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* ....Pretty sure you wanted me dead a few times.

Subculture: *on the phone* ....Yeah my bad! My bad! I get heated and crazy things happen man! You know how it is!

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* You're right, I do know....how it is. Well I'm not going to let this screw up my July 4th with the family. This is the first time I've insisted on being home, for the first big day since moving out here, I'm going to make the most of it. Take care brahs.

Picky Minch: *on the phone* Apple Kid wanted me to tell you to tell Lucca he said hi.

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* That poor bastard. Alright, I'll tell her. I gotta go though. I have one more call to make.

Trevor hung up, and quickly dialed another number.

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* Hello? Derek, it's Trevor. You'll never guess what I'm calling about Cuz! Oh yeah? You saw that huh? I'd figure considering you were Voi- What? What do you mean that wasn't you? What game are you playing here? It wasn't you. Yeah, I doubt you'd be able to do much from where you are right now huh. Well then who is playing you then? What? I know that. You just said you're not Void, but- you mean you're not the ORIGINAL Void? We saw that clear as day though. You stepped in during the E1? Well then who the hell is this guy?!

Saturn Cafe

Vape stared into his coffee and sighed, while Jammer and Benjamin sat across staring at him.

Benjamin: He's been like that all day.

Jammer: I know. I mean, he was the one trying to pick us all up the other day.

Benjamin: I got a lot of things going on, especially with Lainey, who has NOT been answering the portable talking box, but even I got out of my dire mood.

Jammer: She's not answering because you didn't charge it. The phone is dead.

Benjamin: You said that, and I put this phoenix down on it, and it's done nothing.

Jammer: Why would a red feather do anything?

Benjamin: They ressurect the dead.

Jammer: ....Seriously?

Benjamin: Yes.

Jammer: So we could ressurect dead loved ones....or my basketball career?!

Benjamin: Um...yes to some of that.

Jammer: ...Why didn't try using one on Rod and Randy when they were ghouls?

Benjmain: It would have blown them up.

Jammer: Really?

Benjamin: It's weird right?

Jammer: Very.

Benjamin: I need to talk to her though. Seriously Jam, she's putting her services on the line. I didn't want that. I can earn a title shot in my own way.

Jammer: She didn't want you to have to wait man. She wants to see you get back to the top spot you belong in.

Benjamin: You think I belong there?

Jammer: Sure you do. All of Dan Club does.

Vape: Even me?

Jammer: ....Mmmhmm!

Vape: That felt forced.

Jammer: That's because it was. Didn't realize I was that obvious. Sorry man, but-

Vape: No, you don't have to say it. My career has been a joke.

Benjamin: You're one of the most recognizable faces in sports right now. You have more products on the shelf then either of us.

Jammer: You're a champion in other ways. Doesn't that make you feel better? Don't you want to smile?

Vape: Yeah...for a minute...but then....I got back to being sad. That's life isn't it? A series of temporary distractions, keeping us from the horrors of reality? I can ride roller coasters, meet new friends, and spend time with my family, but it won't change the fact that the sun is going to explode, and nothing will have mattered.

Benjamin: ....

Jammer: Damn dude. That does it. We can't stick around in her this summer. This is all we do. We're either at the dojo, or we're here. After Xperience, we're going to load up the van, and we're going to on a REAL road trip, this time to Uncle Carl's in Mariner Reef, which is like Summers, but even cooler-er. He doesn't think I'm a disappointment, and he'll totally let us use his place for the WHOLE SUMMER!

Benjamin: That actually might be a good idea.

Vape: That's right! Wow Jammer, you are the bomb.

Jammer: That's right! I am! I am the bomb! I am! THE BOMB!

Customer #1: Did that guy just say he was the bomb?

Customer #2: He's a bomb?!

Customer #3: HE'S GOT A BOMB!

Customer #4: RUN! OH PLEASE GOD DON'T BLOW UP MY BABY!

Jammer: WAIT!

Moments later, Jammer was being loaded into the back of a police car.

Jammer: This is all a big misunderstanding! Hey! Help!

Vape: I'll get Arliss on it man!

Jammer: Don't forget! Summer trip....just as soon as I get out of jail! Yeah!

Vape: ...We might need bail money.

Benjamin: Do they take Gil?

Vape: I don't know how you convinced Swift, or anyone else for that matter, to pay you in gold coins, but we've got to get you a debit card my man.

Benjamin: Right.

The Strip - Sin City, Eagleland

Venus: Greetings wrestling fans, how are you all doing? *Long awkward silent pause* No, I am not that boring as all sin Tangelo. It is the one and only Venus. And I am reporting to you live from famous Strip in downtown Sin City. Why I am here will revealed in due time, as I am expecting the arrival of a few very important people rather sooner than later. In fact, I....

*As on cue, Venus now sees a familar motorcyle approach her position and park right in front of her, almost running her over. Venus now lets out a loud gasp in shock. Venus now begins to yell at the mysterious person as they get off the bike....*

Venus: OH MY GOD! ARE YOU CRAZY?!

*As Venus continues to yell, the person removes their helmet and places it on the seat of motorcycle. The person now turns to face Venus, revealing it to be...*

Venus: OH! It's you. *sighs* Welcome back to Sin City.....LADY M'S.

*Lady M's now laughs at Venus and tells her calmly....*

Lady M's: You never seem to change, do you Venus? Still as jumpy as ever, I see. *laughs again*

*Venus just shakes her head at Lady M's. She then tells her in retort...*

Venus: And neither have you it seems. *looks over M's* Well not mentally at least.

Lady M's: And what is that suppose to mean?

Venus: Well you look different now?

Lady M's: Really, you think so?

Venus: Yep, I know so.

Lady M's: Well that's a relief. Cause I hate to bore all the starved women's wrestling fans with the old boring me from that OTHER wrestling company.

Venus: I wouldn't worry about that. That company does a good job of boring it's fanbase on it's own.

Lady M's: HA! And when it's not boring them to death, it is slowly bleeding them dry with it's....

*Lady M's now makes the quotation gesture with her hands as she says....*

Lady M's: Premium content.

*Venus now gags in disgust at that thought. She now tells M's....*

Venus: How capitalist of them. Personally, I would never want to price gouge my paying fanbase. It just alienates them in the long run.

Lady M's: Agreed.

*Suddenly a familiar voice interrupts both Venus and Lady M's in mid conversation....*

Familiar Voice: And that makes three of us.

*Cameras now pan to the side as Venus and Lady M's turn to greet the man behind the voice, revealing it to be....*

Lady M's: PIRKLE! YOU SON OF A BITCH!

*Mr. Pirkle and Lady M's now shakes hands as Venus looks on. Lady M's now tells Pirkle....*

Lady M's: Now where have you been? Me and Venus have been waiting here for you to arrived.

Mr. Pirkle: Funny, cause I've been waiting for you both to arrive all day along.

Lady M's and Venus: WHAT?!

Mr. Pirkle: I told you both meet me at the parking garage down the Strip, remember?

Lady M's: I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, Pirkle.

Mr. Pirkle: Damn it. I swear if you were not as talented and over as you are, I wouldn't have even started this little venture with you. But...

Lady M's: You need me, right?

Mr. Pirkle: Right. Without you, the wrestling end falls apart.

Lady M's: Correct. And I need you to make it work from a business end. So let's leave it at that for now.

Mr. Pirkle: Agreed. And you better worth the price. Cause I spared no expense.

Lady M's: I see.

*The now confused Venus interrupts both of them, to ask....*

Venus: Excuse me?

*Both continue to ignore Venus, irritating her more. Venus now speaks up a little louder...*

Venus: Excuse me!

*Venus is ignored once again. Venus finally yells at both of them in frustration...*

Venus: EXCUSE ME!

*Both now turn to see Venus standing there. Venus now says calmly...*

Venus: Thank you. Just one quick question.

*Lady M's now tells her with a mock smile and sarcastic tone....*

Lady M's: OH?! I am so sorry, Venus. We seem to have forgotten you were here too. Pirkle?

*Pirkle just shakes his head and tells Venus...*

Mr. Pirkle: *sighs* Please, ask your question Venus.

Venus: You mentioned something being worth the price. What do you mean be that?

Mr. Pirkle: Good question. But one I can not answer directly.

Venus: Damn it.

Mr. Pirkle: But I can SHOW you the answer.

Venus: Huh?

Mr. Pirkle: Follow me.

*Pirkle now motions for both Venus and Lady M's to follow him down the Strip. Lady M's now tells Venus....*

Lady M's: Let's go, Venus.

Venus: I don't know about that.

Lady M's: Oh come on. You did ask the question after all.

Venus: And some answers are not worth getting, Tali.

Lady M's: That only happens when I change the questions.

Venus: What about Pirkle changing them?

Lady M's:  Good question. See you around.

*Lady M's now begins to walk down the Strip with Mr. Pirkle, leaving Venus behind. Venus now tells herself after they leave...*

Venus: And I guess I'll have find the answer to that question myself. TALI! WAIT UP!

*Venus now moves quickly down the Strip to catch up with Lady M's and Mr. Pirkle as the cameras fade out to close from there.*

 

The Strip - Sin City, Eagleland

Venus: Greetings wrestling fans, it is the one and only Venus. I am here once again on the Strip in Sin City along with Mr. Pirkle and....

Lady M's: ME!

Venus: Lady M's. And...

Lady M's: Everybody already knows that, Venus. What we don't know is why we are here.

Mr. Pirkle: You are both here because of me. Me and my rather bank account.

Lady M's: Yeah, yeah. You spare no expense, I get that. But what exactly was so expensive?

Mr. Pirkle: You are about to find out.

*Mr. Pirkle now begins to unlock the door to a rather large building in the middle of the strip. He then opens the door and motions to both Lady M's and Venus to....*

Mr. Pirkle: Please, enter.

Lady M's: You go in first.

Venus: I agree.

Mr. Pirkle: Ladies first, I insist.

Lady M's: *sighs* Very well. Come on, Venus.

Venus: I think I rather not.

Lady M's: You heard the man, now get moving. *grabs Venus by the arm*

Venus: OW! LET ME GO!

*Lady M's refuses to let Venus and now enters the building, dragging Venus in behind her. Both continue to fight after entering the building. Both then stop fighting as they now begin looking around the building in amazement....*

Venus: OH...MY....GOD!

Lady M's THIS LIKE DEJA VU OR SOME TIME WARP BULLSHIT!

*Both ladies continue gawk around at the sight of the room as Mr. Pirkle enters the building behind them, smiling big.*



Mr. Pirkle: What do you ladies think?

Lady M's: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Venus: I can not believe what I am seeing.

Lady M's: Me neither. How did you do it?

Mr. Pirkle: By sparing *laughs* no expense as I said.

Lady M's: Well thanks. This is EXACTLY what was needed.

Mr. Pirkle: Don't thank me yet. I still expect to get my money back plus interest on this investment.

Lady M's: You will, I promise.

Mr. Pirkle: Good. I hate for my "Number One Draft Pick" to fail me right out of the gate.

Lady M's: I. WON'T. FAIL.

Mr. Pirkle. We'll see. Your husband told me the same thing in the past.

Lady M's: I am NOT my husband.

Mr. Pirkle: Let's hope not. Anyways, shall we continue?

Lady M's: Yes.

*The silent Venus now finally interrupts the conversation.....*

Venus: Excuse me.

*Both Mr. Pirkle and Lady M's now turn to Venus and she now asks them...*

Venus: Pardon the interruption. But I have a quick question again.

Mr. Pirkle. Of course, you do. So by all means, ask.

Venus: Okay. Why does this place look and feel like we have been transported by to the days of SPARKLE?

Mr. Pirkle: Cause I am nostalgic as fuck?

Venus: ......

Mr. Pirkle: Not good enough. Okay, it's was a business decision that me and Tali came to.

Lady M's: Yep.

Venus: And why is that?

Mr. Pirkle: It's simple really. SPARKLE may be dead. But....

Lady M's: SPARKLE still has name value.

Mr. Pirkle: And name value draws. Plus people love nostalgia. It's the trendy new fad all the young generations are into. The generation we are trying to draw in.

Lady M's: The generation that EBW continues to push aside for it's own boring ass never changing content.

Venus: Tack Angel did turn heel. That was a pretty big change.

Lady M's: Don't get me started on that so-called King. Tack just finally showed his true colors. Plus the truth of the matter is that nobody was ever gonna cheer for guy with a harem.

Venus: Very true. So I take it SPARKLE is returning then?

Mr. Pirkle: Not exactly. SPARKLE is being REBORN.

Venus: Oh.

Lady M's: Yeah, Me and Pirkle have accepted the fact that SPARKLE died with Master Lu. BUT that doesn't mean it's legacy can't be remembered and treated with the respect it deserves.

Mr. Pirkle: Exactly. And while Master Lu always had a good wrestling mind, he never had the business sense for it to reach it's full potential. That is why I am here. But I digress, let continue with the tour.

Venus: Alright then.

Mr. Pirkle: Or should I say, HE can continue it....

*Mr. Pirkle now points over to the bar area of the building, revealing a familiar face to both Lady M's and Venus.....*



Jackie: HELLO! GUESS WHO'S BACK IN BUSINESS?!

Lady M's: JACKIE!

Jackie: THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK TOO!

Lady M's: AWESOME!

Venus: WHY ARE WE SHOUTING NOW?!

Lady M's: Cause it's fun and in the moment?

Venus: ......

Lady M's: Just kidding. But it's good to see you again, Jackie.

Jackie: Good to see you too.

Lady M's: Or should I say El Jackito?

Jackie: I know nothing of that masked man.

Lady M's: I never said he wore a mask, Jackie.

Jackie: .......

Mr. Pirkle: Anyways, he apparently came with the building. It's in the contract, imagine that.

Lady M's: Clever as ever, Jackie.

Jackie: You know me. Besides I was looking for a excuse to escape Summers anyways. Your father has made things really bad for business.

Lady M's: My father, right.

Jackie: Sorry.

Lady M's: Not it's cool, Jackie. I understand. And one of these days, me and my father are gonna have a very long talk and get to know each other again. *Cracks her knuckles* If you know what I mean.

Jackie: Say no more. I just hope to be around when it all goes down.

Lady M's: Oh, you'll be the first to know when it does.

Venus: Oh my.

Mr. Pirkle: Indeed. Now Tali, I hate to be rude but I need to talk to you about business.

Lady M's: Alright.

Mr. Pirkle: In private.

Lady M's: I see. Venus, stay here and keep Jackie company.

*Venus now looks over at the grinning Jackie.

Venus: I don't think that is such a good idea.

*Jackie then tells the now nervous Venus after Mr. Pirkle and Lady M's walk off.....*

Jackie: Don't worry, I won't bite.....hard.

*Venus now swallows hard at that comment. At this point, Mr. Pirkle and Lady M's have entered the room at the far end of the building. Lady M's is now admiring the room and tells Mr. Pirkle....*

Lady M's: Once again, you never fail to impress Pirkle. Looks JUST like the old main office.

Mr. Pirkle: I know right. There is one major change though.

Lady M's: And that would be?

Mr. Pirkle: Look at the sign.

Lady M's: Okay, but I don't see the point. *Looks at the sign.* Oh, I see it now.



Lady M's: And what I am looking at exactly, Pirkle?

Mr. Pirkle: The future, Tali. Welcome to the new age of women's wrestling. Welcome to MOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING.

Lady M's: MCW, huh?

Mr. Pirkle: Yep.

Lady M's: I like that. *Thinks for moment about her family* Yes, I like that ALOT.

Mr. Pirkle: I figured you would.

Lady M's: And I figure only one thing is certain from this point on.

Mr. Pirkle: And what's that?

Lady M's: The future is bright. So bright. That it SPARKLES.

*Mr. Pirkle just shakes his head as he tries not to laugh. Both then just stand there, staring at the MCW sign, contemplating their immediate future some more. We now fade to close from there.*

 

Makoto Angel: Welcome everyone to the Twoson Mall for EBW: Xperience! We got a big show tonight, with the War Kings in action not once, but twice, as they prepare for battle with Blood 4 Blood in the War Games at Dark Hero Days. We'll also see members of Dan Club take on The Shark Order, who are at this very moment celebrating another win for Gold. See, she beat BeShemoth in their rematch from Xcite's ENN+ Matches, but we're not at that point yet. More about the main show. Alison Chains, hot off a win over former World Champion Erica, is now going after the #1 Contender Duvalie Angel, whom I've gotten to know really well, and she's very nice, if not a little subdued. It's hard to get a read on her. Anyways, I'm assuming if Alison can win, she'll make a claim that she deserves the shot against her C.O.D.E partner Christina Angel.

Larry Grim: Are you all right? You're talking a mile a minute.

Makoto Angel: Who me? Yeah sure, I'm fine! *blush*

Larry Grim: It's about the contract signing isn't it?

Makoto Angel: What?! How do you- wait...it's you...that's how you know.

Larry Grim: Yep. Tack Angel has promised something interesting for the contract signing between himself and Benjamin. That takes place tonight. We understand he's in the building tonight, so let's see what he's up to.

Makoto Angel: ...I hope it's good.

Backstage

Tack Angel was walking in the back, with Sailor Uranus and Neptune off in the distance, watching intently. Lily Belle Hopper was about to interview him about the night's events, when suddenly, two familiar men dressed as bees approached him.

Killer Bee: Hey Tack, remember us? I'm Killer Bee!

Worker Bee: I'm Worker Bee!

Killer Bee: We used to be kind of a big deal, but now we want to come back and work for you, not that Saxon and Novus are out of the pic-

Tack quickly kicked both of them in the head. Even with the kick pads, it sent them hurtling towards the floor. He looked at Lily Belle to say just one thing.

Tack Angel: ...I don't like bees.

EBW Announce Table

Makoto Angel: *sigh* They should've known better.

Larry Grim: Uh...yeah...I don't know what they were expecting. So yeah, we had some ENN+ Matches already, where Gold managed to beat a livid BeShemoth in a rematch from Xcite. Rains continues to go after his old team members, and beat Manu Kalani with the Rainsmaker. Fray Tiburon got a win over Yvgeny with a Brainbuster, infuriating Sazh, who promises he's still gonna "get Javi" and Tiburon. A Bushido Rules bout saw Trevor Mach in action, taking out Aron Vayne with a Reverse Guillotine Choke. Vayne continues to struggle in the EBW environment, but you have to admire his persistence. With all of that out of the way, we're got the Dan Club opening the show against The Shark Order, so let's take it on over there, to that ring area there. Let's go there.





EBW: Xperience
Twoson Mall, Twoson
ENN

0. ENN+ Match Women's Singles Rematch: Gold beat BeShemoth via Roll Up -> Pin
0. ENN+ Match Singles: Rains beat Manu Kalani via Rainsmaker -> Pin
0. ENN+ Match Singles: Fray Tiburon beat Yvgenny via Brainbuster -> Pin
0. ENN+ Match Bushido Rules Singles: Trevor Mach beat Aron Vayne (R2 3:03) via Reverse Guillotine Choke -> Referee Stoppage
1. 6-Man Tag: Benjamin[o]/Jammer/Vape beat Big Shark/LG Rod/Randy no Kachi[x] via Spear -> Pin
-Short, but fun bout, that saw Benjamin get back on track with his Dan Club buddies. Fighting out of a spear, the former World Champion hit the ropes and ran back with a Spear for the pin on RnK.

Larry Grim: And that's a win! Vape looks pleased, cause he's in the winning column here. Can't complain about that, because this segment is brought to you by the upcoming Vape movie "Big Dancing Man", the story of a rather rotund dancer, that must overcome tragedies to rise to the top. I'm sure...it'll be great.

Makoto Angel: Later tonight Benjamin is going to have a contract signing with my husband. I hope he's ready. This isn't me rooting against Tack, but I don't want Benjamin to get in over his head.

Larry Grim: You have a big heart Makoto.

Makoto Angel: I just try to care for everyone.

Larry Grim: I meant literally, but don't worry, it's not a health risk. You won't need to do anything about it for at least another 40 years.

Makoto Angel: Uh...thanks?

Larry Grim: The Shark Order are taking things in stride, and Dan Club seem to be signing an autograph book for Baby Shark? This heelish cult run by a child sure is wholesome. Benjamin getting a big reaction from the fans, and he's letting them know he's not done tonight. He'll be back to sign that contract.

2. Women's Singles: Eve vs. ?
-A women's match that was supposed to see Eve take on a mystery opponent, but it turned out to be yet another ploy by the Skulls & Bones. The group of seemingly four women appeared out of the crowd and smashed Eve in the head with a wrench, busting her open so badly, the screen shifted to black and white in an attempt to censor the blood splatter. Erica ran out with a chair to try to fight them off by herself, also taking a few shots until security and EMTs arrived to help Eve.

Makoto Angel: That was the worst thing I've ever seen.

Larry Grim: Eve's head was cracked open! Viewers, we apologize. We know violence is part of the sport, but that was disgusting. I mean, you could see her skull!

Makoto Angel; *gags* I'm going to throw up.

Larry Grim: We definitely hope the Queen of Simps is going to be OK. They need to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible. Trust me on this one.

Makoto Angel: Oh no.

Backstage

Eve was being carried away by EMTs, as Erica quickly followed to check on her, though they wouldn't let her into the ambulance as it drove away. She turned to see a roster in turmoil. The James Sisters were arguing, and an angry BeShemoth was kicking things while shouting on the phone.

BeShemoth: *on the phone* Huh?! What do you mean you've got nothing for me! Pirkle, do you know who the hell you're talking to?! Have you seen my physique! Have you seen what I can bring to the table?! *sigh* Yes, I did just lose twice to Gold, but she's very go- *sigh* Yes, I've failed to win any championships. That doesn't mean I can't do something for you. I've got fight in me, and I've got room to grow! Talk to Lady M's, she'll tell you! You have? She said what? DAMMIT!

BeShemoth threw down her phone, shattering it.

BeShemoth: Who the *bleep* do I talk to about...you know what never mind. It doesn't matter. This place has turned into an asylum! I'm out of here! I QUIT! YOU HEAR ME?! I QUIT! GAH!

Elsewhere Kimber Blaze and Lt. Lacy Wagner seemed to make up in some sense, as they were seen with their bags packed together.

Lt. Lacy Wagner: I'm not used to going AWOL, but it is what it is.

Kimber Blaze: Giving up and rolling over is the Eagleland way now, don't you know?

Lt. Lacy Wagner: Not my Eagleland, but in this case, we're talking about EBW, not a country, and this division is falling apart.

Kimber Blaze: Exactly! You want to end up like Eve on the stretcher? Want to get a finger chopped off? I know I don't. I want to go somewhere, where we can showcase what we do.

Lt. Lacy Wagner: You and I haven't been on good terms, but you've got a point, plus we know someone who can provide an opportunity.

Kimber Blaze: Exactly. So I'm driving then?

Lt. Lacy Wagner: Not a chance.

Kimber Blaze: Worth a shot.

Kimber and Lacy: WE QUIT!

Lacy saluted the other women as she walked out the door.

Erica: So this is how it ends? With a whimper? *sigh* No.

3. Tag: Hazen[o]/Ilya Fedorovich beat Mav Valentine/Picky Minch[x] via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin
-Hard hitting tag action saw the War Kings battling Mav Valentine and Picky Minch of Blood 4 Blood. The other members were watching the match at odd angles in front of the monitors, but slightly off the the side, until Trevor just kicked it over and walked away. Momentum was on the line, as the two teams would collide soon in War Games. Picky seemingly had it won with a series of Hagen Suplexes on Hazen, but the undefeated War Kings leader countered on the final Hagen, and hit a Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver, as Ilya jumped to the other side of the ring to splash onto Mav, keeping him out of the ring as Hazen pinned Picky for the win.

Larry Grim: A hard loss for Blood 4 Blood. The War Kings continue to dominate, save for one loss, which has lead to this War Games match coming up. The tough team from Euroland has the advantage going into War Games so far. Will Blood 4 Blood be able to turn things around?

Mav Valentine: YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT WE WILL! War Kings! I'm calling you out! Xcite, I'm going to come out to this ring, and I'm expecting one of you to come out for a fight. Hell, all of you can come out! I don't care! Just show up!



Void: The world is falling apart. People at each other's throats. They're all taking sides. There is only one truth, Undeth. Let go of your inhibitions. Embrace the primal urges. I will show you. The first lessons were too lenient it seems. Time for the teacher to introduce you to the advanced course. You will embrace Undeth.



Sharks: HIP HIP! HURRAY! HIP HIP! HURRAY!

Gold: Wow, thanks guys, but you don't have to throw me up in the air so much!

Baby Shark: I love my new older sister! She's winning for The Shark Order now!

Danny Leung: And maybe she's available?

Gold: Uh...look guys, I'm just- could you let me down please? Look, I'm just happy to be here with all of you. You seemed really lost and out of sorts, and so did I. It's a good match, and I'm happy to be your "older sister" Baby Shark.

Randy no Kachi: That makes her the Onee-san of The Shark Order.

LG Rod: An Onee-san with looks, and a sizable bust. We must protect her from Tack Angel at all costs.

Randy no Kachi: Agreed. She's OUR Onee-san!

Gold: Ha! You guys are great. I-

Erica: Are wasting your time.

Gold: Huh? Erica?

Erica: Wasting your time trying to fit in with these misfits, when our division is falling apart. We're all divided. Each and everyone of us needs to rally to stop this threat.

Gold: Erica, I'm committed to standing for the division, and showing people that the best women wrestlers can be found in EBW. That was always a goal coming here. That will never change. However, it's not exactly my top priority to do it for you, when you're responsible for this in the first place.

Erica: We may disagree but-

Gold: No, let me finish. This IS your fault. You AND Tess. She did unleash them, but you created the conditions. You forced the situation. That's where we are, and maybe it was the mistakes of you and your "Eisenritter" that lead to the destruction of the division, but despite you, and despite Eisenritter's actions, I'll always fight. Never for you, but because it's the right thing to do. What you can do for me, is stay out of my way.

Erica: I thought you were one of those, "love everyone, walk the path of peace" types.

Gold: I am, but I won't allow you to pretend like this isn't your fault. Come on guys.

Erica: ....

4. Women's Singles: Alison Chains beat Duvalie Angel via Tombstone Piledriver -> Pin
-Alison Chains and Duvalie Angel were up next, in a bout that once again saw the Skulls & Bones try to get involved, their scare tactics leading to Alison and Duvalie going back to back ready to fight them off. However, Erica ran down again with chair in hand, and they backed off, just far enough to get the jump on her. Duvalie thought about going to help, but that's when Alison turned and resumed the match. Having no love for Erica, Alison had no trouble watching her take a beating for her sake. Duvalie was off her game, and that lead to the Tombstone Piledriver from Chains finishing her off.

Makoto Angel: Oh no, Duvalie, are you alright?

Larry Grim: She wanted to go help Erica. I guess she does still care about her former Mistress. Alison Chains cares about kicking ass, and so she did.

Makoto Angel: Duvalie?

Duvalie Angel: They didn't hurt you did they?

Makoto Angel: What? No. They don't bother me.

Duvalie Angel: It displeases me that I have ashamed the family lately. Christina believes I went easy on her, and now I've lost the right for a rematch because of old attatchments. I won't make the same mistake again.

Makoto Angel: Duvalie, we're not ashamed! Please, go get your neck looked at. I don't like how your neck cranked on that Piledrive-

Duvalie Angel: I'm fine, I assure you. I need to stick around. The Valkyries will assist me at the contract signing. I only wish I had asked them to join me for this match. The Skulls & Bones have no honor or dignity. It seems neither does Alison Chains. Very uncouth.

Makoto Angel: I'm just glad you're alright.

Larry Grim: Yes, but now we have to pivot before the big main event, to show you an exclusive look at Vape's new movie "Big Dancing Man!" Let's take a look!

-

The scene opened to a fat man in a leotard, running a ballet class, from the comfort of his recliner.

Vape: Step, ball, change! Step, ball, change! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! STEP, BALL, CHAAAAANGE!

Narrator: He was the greatest dancer of his generation.

Scene cut to Vape shouting in the face of a student.

Vape: DENISE! DENISE! YOU MAKE ME WANT TO DO COCAINE OFF A VERTICAL MIRROR! GAH!

Narrator: His moves could ignite his class to be the very best.

Scene cut to Vape doing a horrible job trying to perform ballet moves, and ends up just pulling an invisible rope mime style.

Narrator: But one accident changed everything.

Vape was sitting in the car speaking to the driver.

Vape: I feel like I could dance forever. Nothing will stop me!

Then a semi-truck smashed into the side of the car. Scene cuts to Vape sitting a wheel chair, with a neckbrace on, looking out the window.

Vape: *sigh* It's all gone.

Actress playing his in home nurse: Why don't you just TRY to dance again?

Vape: Because it's not in me anymooooooooore!!! *sobs* BOO HOO HOO! I just don't know who I am anymore!

Narrator: But sometimes, you can fall to the bottom, and climb your way back to the top.

Vape wheeled into his ballet class room, and attempted to get out of his chair, only to fall to the ground. As he cried, a white light appeared above him, and Jammer appeared, clad in angel wings and a halo.

Vape: Wha? Who are you?

Jammer: I'm your guardian angel, and I'm here to help you get back on your feet!

Vape: Oh wow.

Cut to scenes of Jammer doing a bad job of helping Vape do Ballet, in a leotard that rips in every scene, but is replaced by the next scene, creating several massive visual continuity errors.

Narrator: Starring EBW Mega Star Vape, and his lesser known friend named Jammer

Cut to scene of Vape having roses thrown at him as he bows on stage.

Narrator: The critics rave. "The greatest film of all time." "A gift and a miracle. A giftacle." "Thank you Vape for making us believe again." It's "Big Dancing Man."

Vape: Maybe the only gift we have, is the chance to start again. Boo hoo hooo!!!!

Backstage

Benjamin, Jammer, Vape, and Lainey Strong were all watching the trailer play out on a monitor.

Jammer: ....What the hell was that?!

Vape: It's my new movie! It looks great right?!

Lainey Strong: What was with all the uh..."boo hooing?"

Vape: Those are my Oscar bait scenes! I had to cry a lot in this movie. I just thought about my life, and that made it very VERY easy to cry.

Benjamin: The magic involving you appearing here and in the tiny box will never cease to amaze me. That being said, the images on the screen were....fine?

Jammer: No Vape, I mean what the hell in that I don't remember being in your movie! How the hell did you do that?!

Vape: I might have gotten Jenny to get you uh...hammered...and then we shot all your scenes in an afternoon?

Jammer: I want royalties!

Lainey Strong: Guys! Priorities! Benjamin needs our support tonight. He's signing that contact and-

Benjamin: I'm still not sure I want to sign it Lainey. You put me in a tough spot. I don't want to put your services on the lin-

Lainey Strong: He didn't want you to take the bait. I think he's afraid. You kicked out of the Wrist Clutch Angel Driver. I think only Dan has been able to do that before. That means he doesn't want the rematch.

Benjamin: .....

Jammer: Speaking of Dan, where is our Dan Club namesake?

Vape: He just said he couldn't make it tonight.

Benjamin: We already talked. He's getting into the zone for his rematch with Razorblade. I guess I need to do the same for Tack.

Lainey Strong: Please....trust me. You can do this.

Benjamin: *sigh* Yes, m'lady.

Jammer: ....Seriously Vape, that movie looks awful. I'm just saying what we're all thinking.

5. EBW World Tag Team Championships: Radzi Schrieffer(c)/Golvoth(c)[o] beat Takumi Inui/Dragon Shiryu[x] via Bear Hug -> Referee Stoppage -> Title Defense!
-Main event time, as Takumi Inui and Dragon Shiryu, brought the hardest challenge yet to the EBW World Tag Team Champions Radzi Schrieffer and Golvoth. An all out battle that had the fans on their feet, believing that the massively popular team who made history in Edo, could upset the War Kings and lift the gold. However, an errant Rozan Shoryu-Ha from Shiryu lead to Golvoth trapping him in a Bear Hug. He held on for dear life as Shiryu tried to fight out. Takumi went to the top rope to try and break it with a Rider Kick, but Radzi pushed him off onto Firebrand X, who was seconding his team on the outside. Eventually the Referee called for the stoppage, which sent Firebrand X into a frenzy, knowing that Shiryu had the heart to possibly fight out.

Larry Grim: Controverial finish there. Shiryu looked out, but if you'll remember he once had his heart punched to both kill him and bring him back to life, and he was competing the very next week. The man is superhuman like that. Still, we need to take the health and well being of our competitors into consideration. Well that does it for the in ring competition, but stay tuned. When we come back from commerical it will be time for the contract signing and...you won't want to miss it.

Makoto Angel: *sigh*

Back from commercial, a table was set up in the center of the ring. Benjamin made his way out with the Dan Club to a huge reaction. Then came Tack Angel, the Triple Crown World Champion, to chorus of boos. He was followed by Duvalie and the Valkyries, as well as Nani, wearing an ornate kimono.

Tack Angel: I surprised you actually showed for this Benjamin, thought I guess I shouldn't underestimate the will of people trying to bring me down. It's a common occurence. So many people want me to fail. So many people would laugh at me, and mock me for failures. I don't fail anymore. They fail. I was hoping you learned that lesson, and that you would kneel, but now we're here.

Benjamin: I don't bow to mad Kings. Last time, we had a battle, but I'm ready for war.

Tack Angel: Are you ready? Your woman had to answer for you on Xcit-

Benjamin: Her name is Lainey. Not "my woman." I respect her, which I wish you did your wives.

Tack Angel: How dare you. You think I don't respect them? I respect them, and they respect me. They're willing to do anything for me, and me for them. That's why Nani is out here tonight. I want to give you a taste of what you're getting yourselves into. Nani.

Nani Angel: Hai, Nani des.

The censors had to suddenly be quick to the button, as Nani removed her kimono, revealing nothing underneath. The naked Nani laid on the table, where Tack placed the match contract.

Benjamin: You'd make her do this?! You'd have her reveal herself like this, and be your table. You have the gall to say you respect your wives?

Tack Angel: This....was her idea. I wanted you to see the kinds of things that Lainey Strong might have to do as my servant. She MUST serve her King. Do you think you can handle this? Do you think you have what it takes to make this wager? I'm willing to put these titles on the line. More than that, a loss to you, would be a victory to them, all of them, and that's something I can't allow until they realize how wrong they are to oppose me. It's a high risk. Can you handle that, and when you lose, will you be able to live with it?

Benjamin: ...

Lainey Strong: He ca-

Benjamin: Lainey, it's OK. Tack, if Lainey believes in me, if these people believe in me, and if I believe in myself, then I can accept any risk. I made history, and broke through to the top once before. I will do it again.

Benjamin took the contract carefully off of Nani and signed it, before placing it down beside her.

Tack Angel: Commendable, but I really wish you would have read the contract before you signed it. I guess Nani is so beautiful and attractive, that you were distracted. I don't blame you.

Benjamin: Huh? What are you talking about?

Tack Angel: Dark Hero Days required escalation. I don't trust that you won't pull a trick to try and steal these titles from me, so you can save the "purity" of Mayor Strong's daughter. That's why our match will be a Lumberjack Match.

Benjamin: Lumberjack Match? I mean, I have the Dan Club watching my back, but who do you have? You're not exactly popular around here.

Tack Angel: Heh. Who do I have? I have the talent, that understand that respects breeds respect, and they awknowledge me as a King, for they too are Kings....War Kings that is.
