Miss Xtra: Miss Xtra here for EBW: Xtra! It's awesome today, cause that little twerp Kid Cadet is nowhere to be fou-

Kid Cadet: HI EVERYBODY! I'M KID CADET!

Miss Xtra: Oh for crying out loud! What are you doing here?!

Kid Cadet: Venus and Lucca wanted an MCW voice here on Xtra.

Miss Xtra: You might as well start calling it EBW/MCW: Xtra.

Kid Cadet: That's a possibility.

Miss Xtra: NO DON'T! I got an EBW tat, and I don't need an MCW one too.

Kid Cadet: Getting tats at YOUR age? Where even is it?

Miss Xtra: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! EBW is white hot right now, and MCW has added a lot of intrigue, but let's not smush the names together just yet OK? It's like a relationship that needs time to grow and foster. I know a young, flat chested idiot like you wouldn't able to understand THAT!

Kid Cadet: Bitch!

Miss Xtra: Language kid! Your mouth is writing checks that your flat ass can't cash.

Kid Cadet: What are you talking about? I have plenty of money in the bank.

Miss Xtra: I wasn't being litera-

Kid Cadet: Damn, I'd show you but phone is gonna die. My battery charge just dropped to 5%.

Miss Xtra: My battery charge dropped due to lack of evidence. We are not the same. I have a show to do! We have a big announcement, but the bigness of it depends on how much you like watching wrestling at 6:05 on a Saturday Night! Neon Nights is coming back again...again! The roster got gigantic in a hurry, and while Swift is demanding a more premium line up for every show, we have an abundance of premium talent. That's why you'll see the return of Neon Nights this week! On the show, you'll see El Mago and Tony Wonder return to take on the Eagleland Gladiator's Sabre and Laser, who might be the heroes of the match, after what they did on XP. In fact, we have a little something from the Gladiators regarding that. Let's take a look!

Gladiator Locker Room

After the match on XP, Sabre and Laser went into the locker room, only to be confronted again by Viper.

Viper: What was that shit!? You had the match won!

Sabre: Not like that man. It ain't going down like that.

Laser: That mouthy dude got involved, and Gladiators don't need help to win.

Viper: I say we will at any cost! Look at them. It was basketball reject and a dude that comes out in armor. He's not a TRUE warrior like we are! Not a Gladiator! Rip em up no matter WHAT happens! That's what I say!

Sabre: We're gonna win, by being the best, AND showing the kids watching what sportsmanship is.

Laser: Gotta respect your opponents. Plain and simple.

Viper: Maybe that works for you, but not for the Vipe-Man! *flexing* I didn't work to get this body to play it safe. Turbo? What do you think? Turbo?

Turbo: .....

Tower: My man Turbo is in the zone. Ready to fire up on that "knight" you're talking about. He's been watching tape of this Benji guy all day. Look at that intensity!

Hawk: Professor Hawk says he's got a 50/50 shot of either doing it the way Sabre and Laser want it, or doing it the way Viper wants, but the fact of the matter is, EBW is in trouble, and Benjamin is gonna get a Gladiator style beating.

-

Miss Xtra: If I weren't waiting on Mav Valentine to recover so I can be honest and true to him like a good and virtuous lady, I'd let those beef cakes run a train on me!

Kid Cadet: Why are you telling me this?

Miss Xtra: Why AM I telling you this?! Also in action on Neon Nights, we'll see Seto Kaiba step back into the ring with Hazen and Rude to take on the Weekend Wrecking Crew. This is considered a warm up I think, as Seto Kaiba has recently announced he wishes to face a member of Dan Club on Xcite! That could be a huge match!

Kid Cadet: MCW's native warrior Alere Little Feather will debut in EBW against a mystery opponent! I may or may not know who it is, and that may or may not be a big deal.

Miss Xtra: Great. Is that why you were here? Did you serve your purpose? TAKE A HIKE! We're gonna see LoveBoom defend their World Tag Team Championships in a match against Black Shirt Security, and the main event will see Benjamin take on Turbo! We're also going to hear from Trevor Mach concerning both Mav and the upcoming match on Xcite! Neon Nights are back baby!

Kid Cadet: You suck at this.

ENN HQ

Swift was attempting to sip a nice cup of tea, when he heard Pirkle marching towards his office, and quickly hid it, replacing it with a bottle of Jack Daniels. Pirkle barged in angrily.

Swift: You must need this Jack more than I do, if you're gonna barge into MY office like that.

Mr. Pirkle: Swift, I want to remind you who discovered you and made you a star. I DID! That was me! I get that you're the Boss of EBW now. You own it. I made it, but you own it. Whatever. Doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me, is the way I'm treated on YOUR shows by Real Rush! I want something done about it. I spent months and months working to build up two stars, and I ended up with two thorns in my side, and now they're even doing it on your programming. It's unacceptable.

Swift: I like how it's MY programming and YOUR problem, but I get the point. Let me just take a look at the ratings and yep, you're on your own. Sorry, but Real Rush is a draw.

Mr. Pirkle: That's what you think Swift. You think that's what you want, but the problem with the 90's and the 00's was that we let people try to decide what was best for them. That's got to stop. I know what's best for them. I know what is best for the future of wrestling. If you're not going to do something about this, then I will.

Swift: Putting a bounty on your talent wasn't enough? Interested to see what you've got in mind. Part of this partnership is about you doing what you have to do too, so "MCW Boss" do what you've got to do. I'm not gonna stand in your way.

Pirkle left the room, where he found Tracy waiting for him, wearing a ball cap, but definitely sporting a new hair style.

Tracy: Don't sweat it Pirkle. You know I'm the chosen one, and you know we're on the same page. If all else fails, I have a last resort in mind.

Mr. Pirkle: That's why you're the MCW World Champion, and the ACE of my promotion, because YOU get the bigger picture. Keep that last resort in the your pocket, I might need it.

Tracy: And in return-

Mr. Pirkle: I'm sorry, I can't stop it. You and Paula will be facing off at Rumble City.

Tracy: Heh. No, you misunderstand. That's EXACTLY what I wanted.

As Mr. Pirkle said his goodbyes to Tracy, he felt like someone was watching him. He shook it off and went down to the parking garage. He looked around one last time before getting into the back of his limo. The limo began to drive off, but the back was connected to a large chain, that suddenly snapped tight and pulled the back tires off the limo. Pirkle rolled out of the back of the limo, and clutched at his neck as he shouted towards the sky.

Mr. Pirkle: REEEEEEAAAAAL RUUUUUUSSSSSHHH!!!

Mistress Saturn's Wax Shop

Rhea Rampage was laying on a cot, with a hot towel over her face, as she was getting wax applied to her lower regions, much to her concern.

Rhea Rampage: Oi, shouldn't we be in the gym, getting shredded for an upcoming match with Tracy and the Bitch Vibes or something? How did we end up here?

Real M's: You told me this was what you wanted?

Rhea Rampage: What?!

Real M's: You were really hammered, and you said you wanted what I had, a nice smooth area, so as to bottom for my husband's giant cock.

Rhea Rampage: WHAT?! I DID NOT SAY THAT!

Real M's: You did. You absolutely did use that zoomer bottoming slang and everything!

Rhea Rampage: I drank way too much obviously! I'm not into Trevor! I'm potentially probably a lesbian or something! Haha! I must have just been saying funny things! Wouldn't it be funny if I was all getting my guts rearranged by Trevor! Haha! That's a joke!

Real M's: Yeah, and I really appreciate you getting drunk around a recovering alcoholic. That shit ain't easy to just stop, and here you are chugging away.

Rhea Rampage: ...This is revenge isn't it?

Real M's: ...I did have to chain up Pirkle's limo by myself.

Rhea Rampage: I missed that? Dammit! Anyways, I'm not the one that has a problem with alcohol. I'll drink when I feel like it.

Real M's: No problem huh? Who is on the cot about to get her body hair ripped out with hot wax? By the way waxer, you need to flip her over.

Rhea Rampage: WHAT?!

Real M's: You want to get rid of all of it right? Flip her over, and get in nice and deep like.

Rhea Rampage: I don't like this at all! I mean who is even doing the-

Real M's: Keep the hot towel on! You don't want to see this. It makes it easy if you don't look.

Rhea Rampage: Fine! HEY! Watch the fingers! NOT very professional.

Real M's: Would you put a clamp on it! Sooner this gets done, the sooner we can hit the gym. I'm certain that you'll absolutely want to work out after this too. It'll be SO easy I'm sure.

Rhea Rampage: I'm suddenly very concerned about-

Real M's: PULL IT!

Rhea Rampage: WAIT!

The wax was ripped from Rhea suddenly, leaving her wide eyed, silent, and convulsing on the cot. Real M's quickly snapped a picture before realizing something unsettling.

Real M's: You uh...kind of enjoyed that didn't you?

Rhea Rampage: *blushing* NO! IT HURT LIKE HELL!

Real M's: Which is why you're shaking right now...cause of the pain.

Rhea Rampage: Absolutely! This is bullshit Tali! When I decided to live with you and train with you, it was to take my game to the next level, not...find out stuff about myself even I didn't know. I'm done with this waxing bullshit, and  this hot towel is coming off and-

Vape: Hi.

Rhea Rampage: AH!

It was at this point that Rhea realized that M's had gotten Vape to do the wax job on Rhea.

Rhea Rampage: *gags*

Real M's: MAYBE...you won't drink in front of me so much anymore?

Rhea Rampage: Oh, I'm getting you back for this.

Real M's: Wait, I thought we were going to the gym!

Vape: ...M's...thank you....thank you so much for letting me do this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Real M's: You're welcome uh...large smelly guy.

Vape: Can I....can I keep this?

Real M's: The wax you just pulled off? Sure, be my guest. I don't care. Why are your eyes rolling in the back of your head.

Vape: *shudders* No reason.

Gladiator Arena - Saturn City

Ike Madamle: And yeah it might LOOK like Turbo and Tower are going to destroy these contestants, but Jim Jablonsky from Twoson is actually a professional ball roller, so this Atlasphere competition is in the bag.

Lisa Balonsky: *unhinges giant jaw* *unleashes huge teeth* What? That sounds like information we should have mentioned to the Gladiators sooner!

Ike Madamle: Not a problem for the Gladiators. Our Gladiators are the elite, and they can stop and block anyone from getting those points. Remember, you have to roll those ball over the actuators, BUT as you can see Tower and Turbo are blocking them off at every turn. Those contestants are lucky to be in those balls. And time is up, and neither contestant scored! Tower and Turbo, titans of titanic Gladiator power! While Lisa consumes the contestants, let's hear from Tubro and Tower!

Turbo: ......

Tower: YEAH! YOU SEE THAT?! You see why I said bigger isn't better, it's the best? Because it is! FACT! *flexes* YEAH! We're not done here, but when we finish mopping up these guys, we're coming back to EBW! Benji boy, get ready for-

Turbo: Pain.





"Garth Knight - Breakpoint"

Apple Kid: Welcome to ENN Studios, for another one of our Neon Nights! It's back again! We do this when...well when the roster gets too big, but you guys love more shows right? We have one wildly successful show, so we made it bigger, and then we added a second show, and then a third. That never leads to burn out or over saturation right? No seriously, it's great to be back for some good old fashioned studio rasslin' and- OH MY GOD! I DIDN'T MEAN TO SEND THAT! OH NO! I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL NOW!

Tommy Dukes: What is it Apple?

Apple Kid: I SENT MINAKO- nevermind, I shouldn't talk about it. I just shouldn't talk about it.

Tommy Dukes: Well I'm glad to be here too, to call this exciting action and to get hyped for a monumental Xcite coming up this week. We have the World Team Championship Rings on the line on that night, and I'll be talking to Trevor Mach later, and by later, I mean it's a pre-taped interview.

Apple Kid: We'll also see a new MCW wrestler make the cross over. Two possibly, because one in a mystery, but we'll find out just who that is tonight.

Tommy Dukes: But first, we have the Eagleland Gladiators in action! They'll kick off the show, and later, Benjamin will lock up with the menacing Turbo. Right now it's Sabre and Laser taking on the returning magic duo of El Mago and Tony Wonder.

EBW: Neon Nights
ENN Studio, Saturn City
ENN

1. Tag: El Mago/Tony Wonder vs. Sabre/Laser
-The Gladiators were caught off guard by the quick and agile El Mago, who continues to try and teach his style and tricks to Tony Wonder, but the magician from The Strip was absolutely ASSAULT(tm)ed by the fast and powerful Gladiators. Sabre hit a POUNCE off the ropes, channeling his inner Swift perhaps, as he pinned Tony Wonder.
Winners: Sabre[o]/Laser via Pounce on Tony Wonder -> Pin

Apple Kid: Well that's another one in the bag for the Gladiators, as they continue to prove their point on the world stage in EBW. Seeing that "Gladiator Arena" is only a few doors down, I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of them on Neon Nights, but the fans seem to love it.

Tommy Dukes: As do I Apple, as do I. I've been around my fair share of estrogen in MCW meetings and training sessions. Nerma saw to it that I didn't miss a single one. She was...is...still very committed to the cause, like these guys are too. We all have something to prove. Someone I did not expect to still feel like he had something to prove though was Trevor Mach, but as I found out in a candid interview I did with the former World Champion, that's exactly the case.

-

Tommy Dukes: Trevor Mach, it has been a while.

Trevor Mach: Missed ya Tommy. It hasn't been the same without you calling my action brother.

Tommy Dukes: Well, I had to go where the wife went, and it was time for a change.

Trevor Mach: Understood. I feel ya there. Our wives, are the most important things in our lives am I right? Them and the kids. So why are we here? Why do we still do this shit? That what you want to ask me?

Tommy Dukes: You cut right to the point.

Trevor Mach: I'm an extrovert like that. Introvert Tack hates it, but that's the nature of the beast. You do it cause you love to call the action, and I do it, because I have to BE the action. Without some challenge, without some damn war to fight, then the warriors might as well be dead Tommy. That's it plain and simple.

Tommy Dukes: You have a lot going for you these days, like your own farm, which I hear is doing really well.

Trevor Mach: It is. It really is. Great place for the kids and all the animals. I have chickens. You know what that makes me? A chicken tender! HAHAHA!

Tommy Dukes: But isn't it a risk to keep fighting the good fight? You could lose it all.

Trevor Mach: 40...is just days away my man. It's ticking away. But I'm in better shape now than when I was 30. I lift weights daily, I do the stretches, and I do the cardio. If that killer instinct I have doesn't get the job done, than I'll let the bod do some of the heavy lifting. I'm motivated to keep pushing forward. I have to know how far I can take this. I have to see where I can go. Why don't you ask Bashin Dan about that one. My future son-in-law will talk your ear off hours about the concept, but it's something we both share. I'm not at the twilight of my career, and I'm not going gently into that good night. Gotta win back the World Championship. Got to win the World Team Championship Rings back on Xcite. Hell, I have to become World Tag Team Champions with my son Justice before it's all said and done. I made him that promise. A Dad has to keep a promise right, and I am the #1 Dad.

Tommy Dukes: Yes, I do see your hat, and it does indeed say #1 Dad.

Trevor Mach: So does my mug.

Tommy Dukes: Right. Trevor, I feel like I get a hint of truth from you, buried in comedy and nonsense.

Trevor Mach: That's why I'm glad you're back! You get it. The warrior has the right to choose his way of life and his way of death. Whenever it happens, I'm gonna go down swinging, and whoever or whatever is on the receiving end is going to get burned. I'm built to never back down, and you got to live for yourself, cause you've got to live with yourself.

Tommy Dukes: Wow...profound stuff.

Trevor Mach: That's exactly the code that Mav Valentine lives by, and I'm telling you, when he wakes up, and he will, he'll tell you that this is the life he wanted to live. w00t just decided to make it a bit more difficult for him. Won't stop him either.

Tommy Dukes: I guess that answers my next question. Will you be dedicating Xcite's match to Mav?

Trevor Mach: Every punch I land. Every suplex I hit, and ever knee that I smash into w00t's face or anyone's face for that matter. My Blood 4 Blood brothers are right there with me. Every time. Every match is a dedication my man. Now, I have a profound question for you?

Tommy Dukes: ...Yeah?

Trevor Mach: On the table...is a banana...are you going to eat that? I have to keep my potassium up.

Tommy Dukes: Huh? Oh no, go right ahead.

Trevor Mach: Thanks.

Tommy Dukes: Is that all I'm getting out of you today?

Trevor Mach: You bet! OH! I'm totally gonna win at Rumble City too. BOOSH!

Tommy Dukes: Right. Yes. Boosh.

2. 6-Man Tag: Seto Kaiba/Hazen/Rude vs. Magnum PT/Point Man/Pucky
-The next match saw Kaiba Corp. take on the Weekend Wrecking Crew. The Crew were battered from wars with Mike Thunder, but still gave the corporate team a run for their money. Kaiba rarely tagged in, and instead let Razorblade do work for him on the outside. Bashin Dan watch from nearby as Seto Kaiba tagged in to pick off a beaten, but still mouthy Pucky, who called him names all the way down as Seto hit the Blue Eyes White Dragon Suplex for the pin.
Winners: Seto Kaiba[o]/Hazen/Rude via Blue Eyes White Dragon Suplex on Pucky -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: Kaiba's team sneaks a win against the Crew, and it looked like Kaiba is coming over to grab a mic? Oh hello Set-

Seto Kaiba: Don't talk to me peasant. I'm busy here. Fine people of Saturn City, it is I, Seto Kaiba, the head of Kaiba Corp. and I would like to add a patron of the local arts, a contributor to charities that are NOT money laundering operations, and of course I'm the King of Games. I'm the collector of the finest cards, and I'm the owner of the last remaining Blue Eyes White Dragon! I know what you've all been waiting for, and I'm here to announce it. I will be facing a member of Dan Club. I will be taking on the one, the only....VAPE! That's right! Vape is a jam up guy! Who are you to doubt Vape. Don't boo me! You can't boo me! I have money! I'm better than you! I HAVE MONEY!

Apple Kid: Bashin Dan looks displeased. Can't say I blame him, but Vape has a chance to- wait, is that Jaden Yuki?!

Seto Kaiba: Hey Dan, I see you over there. Looks like I might soon be sending one of your own to the unemployment line, and taking your friend here under my wing. It's like that Cade fellow right? You're just a bad bad friend.

Tommy Dukes: Whoa! That set Dan off! He just blasted through the black shirts, and I mean annihilated them! It's like they weren't even there. The Red Shirts are calming him down though. He's calming down.

Apple Kid: I sure hope the Black Shirt Security can shake off that decimation just now, cause they have World Tag Team Championship match coming up.

Tommy Dukes: That's true, but first, we have the EBW debut of Alere Little Feather. I think very highly of her myself. Let's check out this MCW talent!

-

Alere Little Feather: My name is Alere Little Feather. I'm a Native Eaglelander, and I'm here as part of MCW, because I want to prove that the native blood of a warrior runs through my veins. I will make my tribe proud, as I blaze a trail through the women's division!

-

Apple Kid: Well, the Native Warrior is up next, but who will her opponent be? It's...what?! It's Tiger Cat! The TUE turncoat! Tiger Cat has come back, and she's-

Tiger Storm: That's Tiger Storm to you Apple! Got a better name and a better perspective away from this hell hole of a company! No creative! No vision! No future! They don't know real talent when they see it! They don't understand what this "cat" can do! You're gonna find out, cause EBW is going down!

Tommy Dukes: She's tearing up an EBW sign! She's made it clear, she is not happy to be back. She's from a contingent of wrestlers not happy about this partnership. She's made that known for weeks in the back. Let's see how she handles Alere Little Feather.

3. Women's Singles: Alere Little Feather<MCW> vs. Tiger Storm<MCW>
-A fierce and stiff competition kicked off with a slapping and chopping contest. Alere won out, but Tiger Storm wasn't above breaking the rules to make a comeback. She spent too much time jaw jacking the EBW crowd, and Alere was able to power out of a Tiger Driver attempt. She battled back and did her war dance as she leveled Tiger Storm with chops that sent her scrambling back up from the mat. A Native Drop lead to a nearfall, which set Tiger off. Several minutes of controlling the match lead to a pin attempt for another nearfall. Suddenly, the crowd turned their attention to Darkness Aoi, as she tried to approach the ring. Tiger and Aoi's history was enough to convince the Red Shirts to try and hold her back. Tiger Storm was too distracted, and Alere took her down for an Indian Death Lock. She locked it in tightly, and forced the angry Tiger Storm to tap to save herself.
Winner: Alere Little Feather<MCW> via Indian Death Lock -> Submission



Tommy Dukes: Security is having to keep Darkness Aoi back, as Tiger Storm is livid and Alere celebrates her first win here on Neon Nights. A big win for her. I think she would have gotten it without Aoi getting involved. Tiger Storm was too busy yelling at the EBW fans.

Apple Kid: She's so mad. Tearing up signs and anything with the EBW logo. She's like some sort of storm...or a feisty ca-OH! I got it!

-

Benjamin: Later tonight, I take on a Gladiator, and I will represent the Dan Club was not just a wrestling, but a Warrior of Light. I often thought about a re-vocation to the Gladiator class, but it was too much offense and not enough defense, so I didn't do it. These Gladiators think they can do this better than us? I welcome them....to come and try.

-

4. EBW World Tag Team Championships: Sal Paradise(c)/Jason Boomtown(c) vs. Horace "Angel"/Eiji Hino
-LoveBoom squashed the Black Shirts with ease. A fun showcase, and a nice visual for Boomtown, who continues to grow and learn under Sal Paradise. A Boomtown hit the Flying Forearm on Horace, and tagged in Sal, who went off top for the Perfect Sky and the pin.
Winners: Sal Paradise(c)[o]/Jason Boomtown(c) via Perfect Sky on Horace "Angel" -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Tommy Dukes: I know the Black Shirts were rewarded with that title shot for working hard, but they were no match for the champs. Black shirts can't get the job done. Now Red Shirt Security, maybe THEY could stand a chance.

Apple Kid: Exactly what I was thinking. Oh! Minako texted me back.

Tommy Dukes: Huh?

Apple Kid: Oh I uh...accidentally texted something earlier remember? I bet she's going to text me back telling me to never talk to her again. Let's see...*gasp*

Tommy Dukes: Is that her-

Apple Kid: DON'T LOOK AT IT! I uh...I need...I need....I need to go.

Tommy Dukes: But we're-

Apple Kid: BYE!

Tommy Dukes: ...Well...the main event is upon us...so...*deep breath* LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING! HAHA I SAID IT! I SAID MY ICONIC LINE!

5. Singles: Benjamin vs. Turbo
-Main event time, as the Mystic Bout Machine battled the intense and possibly psychotic Turbo of the Eagleland Gladiators. Turbo was definitely ripped, but Benji had the experience, which was something all the EBW wrestlers going against the Gladiators were able to use, but Turbo was the best mix of strength and speed to match Benji, and it lead to what was easily the match of the night. An all out battle that would saw them both get nearfalls, lock up in tests of strength, and basically blew the roof off the building. The crowd was on fire, as Benji and Turbo both tried a Spear and collided as they battled to their feet the bell rang signaling the time limit. A legit shocker as everyone was entranced in the match, as it ended in a Time Limit Draw.
Winner: Time Limit Draw

Tommy Dukes: That was CRAZY! I still can't believe it's over! We knew that Benji is capable of giving the best match on any night, but Turbo was a match for him! This was Turbo's singles debut! His first match! They're shaking hands, showing that good sportsmanship. I think we'll need to see a rematch to this one down the line. Hopefully sooner than later. Folks, thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you next week for another one of our Neon Nights!

The Mach Farm

5:55 AM February 15th 2023

The phone rings in the bed room of Trevor and Tali Mach. Trevor stares up at the ceiling, before hitting the speaking button.

Trevor Mach: Hi Ma!

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* It's February 15th 1983! We're driving back from your Aunt Margaret's, my water breaks, your father jumps the divider of the Sawmill River Parkway, and races me to the hospital and hahaha....at 5:55 out you came. Oh, Happy Birthday darling. I can't believe you're 40!

Trevor Mach: Yeah...me either.

Beck Mach: *on the speaker* Oh, here's your father.

Rick Mach: *on the speaker* Hello boy, Happy Birthday.

Trevor Mach: Hi Dad, how are ya?

Rick Mach: *on the speaker* I'm losing feeling in my left leg, here's your mother.

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* Don't worry, he's fine. So, what are you going to do now birthday boy?

Trevor Mach: I don't know, probably sleep for a few more hours?

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* Is Tali with you?

Trevor Mach: No, she's working the streets and likes to have breakfast with her pimp. She should be in around 7:30.

Tali Mach: Will you stop it! Hi, I'm here.

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* Give my boy a kiss.

Tali Mach: Oh I'll do more than that.

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* Huh?

Tali Mach: I said I sure will!

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* So you're 40 now. How do you feel?

Trevor Mach: Honestly Mom? I feel great.

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* That's great honey. Well, listen, you two, have a...Sam, Sam! The dog needs to go out. Sam! He's impossible. I'm gonna have him neutered.

Trevor Mach: She means the dog.

Becky Mach: *on the speaker* Stop that! I've got to go, he's peeing on the carpet!

Trevor Mach: She means Dad. Bye Mom!

Becky Mach: Bye birthday boy!

Trevor Mach: What a nightmare!

Tali Mach: They're your parents.

Trevor Mach: No, not them. I had a nightmare that was...I don't want to talk about it, because today is my birthday. The big 4-0. And I feel good, I really feel great. I feel good, yes. Nurse, today is my birthday. I'd like to look at the ocean, please. Thank you. I'm 40. And you know what? It's not so terrible. It's-

Tali Mach: Did you just hurt your back trying to get out of bed?

Trevor Mach: ...I'm sure it's just a coincidence?

Outside of Iwata Memorial Arena

Fans crowded around a limo, as w00t, Mike Thunder, and Isiah Muscle flanked Zyro Kurogane, as they all made their way to a red carpet like display into the arena.

w00t: Back up cretins! Just a bunch of plebs and marks. Don’t get your filthy hands on the cha-

Zyro Kurogane: Actually wait, I DO want to talk to them.

w00t: What? It’s not what WE do Zyr-

Zyro Kurogane: It’s what I want to do. People! You come here tonight to see Perfection win or Blood 4 Blood?

The crowd chanted for Blood 4 Blood to win, and repeated Mav Valentine’s name back at w00t, who laughed and spit on the ground.

Zyro Kurogane: Well, I’m gonna be happy to disappoint you, because the World Champion and the World Team Champion, is going to walk out with the belt AND the ring. I’ve gotten too damn good, and….I’ve learned too damn much….right w00t?

Zyro stared at w00t, who coughed a little before finally speaking up.

w00t: *clears throat* I uh…I agree completely. I’m also happy to play spoiler to your hopes and dreams. Blood 4 Blood are going to lose so badly, that even that comatose shit Mav Valentine is going to know about it. Oh boo all you want! The only thing I regret, is that it didn’t kill him!

Zyro Kurogane: …Valentine is a warrior, let’s not go that far.

w00t: We didn’t go far enough. Always finish the job champ. Always.

Zyro Kurogane: …..

Once inside, Perfection stopped in the hallway to talk strategy, and to marvel at a certain poster on the wall.



w00t: Now what is this Zyro?

Zyro Kurogane: You like it? I had them put up everywhere I could. I wanted to send out a message, that the World Championship is back where it belongs. The rightful ACE is in his place, and I’m gonna let it rip!
Mike Thunder: That’s a classic Mike Thunder move, and I approve! Uuuuu!

Isiah Muscle: Why haven’t we been plastering our image all over the place? I mean look at us. Look at ME! I’m an Adonis!

w00t: Waste of time and money if you ask me. We show we’re Perfection by what we do and how we live. We don’t need to pander to these people. Never pander. They’re imbecile marks that don’t know any better. You mention a city and they pop. They actually cheered you against me, when I masterfully convinced you that I was fighting for that belt.

Zyro Kurogane: Mmmhmm. Look, this is just the way I wanna do things. It’s the Zyro Kurogane way….bey-bey. You’re not looking at the future with me anymore w00t. You’re looking at the here and now, and no one is going to get in the way of that again.




As they walked on, they passed by the new face in EBW.

Zyro Kurogane: Who is that guy?

Rama Raju: …..

w00t: Some new hire from Swift. He’s trying to appease the Dalaam market. Not worth our time.

Zyro Kurogane: ….

Rama Raju: ….

Zyro Kurogane: I don’t know about that.

Rama Raju continued on his way, looking around and taking in all the action around him. He stopped in his tracks when he saw someone familiar.

Mr. Pirkle: Yeah, the flight was lousy!

Lucca: Seemed fine to me.

Mr. Pirkle: Your private jet isn’t covered in stupid juvenile tags Lucca!

Lucca: Right.

Mr. Pirkle: Why do I even keep you nearby? You’re friends with that lunatic! In fact, you’re fired!

Lucca: You can’t do that. Venus said-

Mr. Pirkle: Yeah yeah! Worth a *bleep*ing shot!

Rama Raju stared at Pirkle, making him stop and look over confusingly, before walking away. Rama’s mind flashed back to his youth, seeing the mustachioed man arrive at his village along the Godavari River. He shook the memories off and walked away.


"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"



Larry Grim: Welcome to Onett! We’re LIVE from the Iwata Memorial Arena for EBW: Xcite! We’re just DAYS away from Rumble City, where a new form of the iconic Rumble will determine which man and woman will go on to Victory Explosion 17 for a date with destiny! In the middle of all of that though, we have had a Gladiator invasion, a new champion crowned TWICE, the rise of Kaiba Corp, the continually looming presence of the Stygian Inquisition, and the partnership with MCW. Anyone ELSE having trouble keeping up?!

Apple Kid: You’re not kidding. We also have Blood 4 Blood and Perfection butting heads, and tonight, the two factions will square off for the EBW World Championship Rings. Perfection have held off on a title defense long enough, and the rings are the symbol of faction supremacy in EBW, so we’ll see if Blood 4 Blood, now with Tack Angel wrestling in Mav Valentine’s place can rip the rings off Perfection.

Larry Grim: We’d normally be joined by Makoto Angel, but she’s in action tonight against World Champion Erica. The “reborn” Erica Eisen has aligned with the Stygian Inquisition, and seemingly hooked up with the returning Kishin Kid specifically. Kishin, who beat Tack at New Year Rising, used Eric to get the job done. Now Makoto, our brave brave Makoto, is stepping up to defend her husband, but luckily she won’t be alone. The EBW Senshi Champions, the Sailor Scouts, will be flanking her for this one.

Apple Kid: That means Minako is gonna be out here. Hehehe…but that’s later though. We’re starting the night with Seto Kaiba taking on Vape of Dan Club, and it would be a big boost to the fan favorite Dan Club, if the big, baldy, sweaty, creepster Vape, managed to pull off the win. We-

Larry Grim: Wait…I’m hearing that backstage, Benjamin was just jumped by….by Rude, Hazen, and Razorblade! Jaden Yuki apparently lured him out of the locker room! Let’s check it out!

Backstage

Bashin Dan and Jammer were fighting off Kaiba Corp, as they put the boots to Benjamin.

Bashin Dan: Back off! What’s going on here?! Why would you do this?

Rude: Just following orders Danny boy.

Jammer: Ugh! Can we get some help over here?

-

Tommy Dukes: Benji looked to be bleeding.

Apple: That leaves Vape here by himself against Seto Kaiba. I have a feeling…that was the plan.

EBW: Xcite
Iwata Memorial Arena, Onett
ENN

1. Singles: Seto Kaiba vs. Vape
-The opening match saw Seto Kaiba take on Vape in a battle of the quick and wily versus the large and bulky. Vape is effective when he’s able to pin an opponent down in a corner, and that’s what he tried to do here, trying to get a measure of revenge for Bashin Dan, Vape was motivated in this one, and had Seto running and visibly gagging. Jaden Yuki ran down and seemed to be on Vape’s side, only to punch him in the back of the head when the ref turned to Kaiba. Vape fell to the mat and Kaiba went off the top with an elbow, then wiped off his elbow, and pinned Vape for the win.
Winner: Seto Kaiba via Top Rope Elbow -> Pin

Larry Grim: Can’t say I’m surprised by that turn of events. I guess Jaden Yuki really had a price, and he’s really ingratiating himself with Kaiba Corp.

Apple Kid: Seto Kaiba is acting like that was his win. Acting like he won it on his own. We know better. We’re not as blind as that ref. What a blind goof right?
 
Larry Grim: He IS blind.

Apple Kid: Oh no! I forgot! My bad! My bad!

Backstage

Tommy and Nerma Dukes were walking around near the concessions together.

Tommy Dukes: Great to be back here, hanging out in Onett, doing EBW stuff. It’s just like it used to be.

Nerma: I forgot why we left.

Tommy Dukes: You were ranting and raving over Hardcastle the objectification of women.

Nerma: ...I know. I didn’t actually forget that. I was just trying to be nice. I’m keeping a smile on my face, and I’m burying the past.

Tommy Dukes: Oh?

Nerma: Right, remember what we’re doing?

Tommy Dukes: Walking? Enjoying each other’s company?

Nerma: No you goof, we’re doing spy work! Pirkle told us to ask around, and figure out why people watch EBW, and what we need to do to get them to watch MCW.

Tommy Dukes: Do we like Pirkle?

Nerma: No, but we like MCW.

Tommy Dukes: Right. I also like EBW too though.

Nerma: Just help your wife Dukes!

Tommy Dukes: Absolutely.

Nerma: We need to ask all kinds of fans. I think he wants us to ask internet wrestling community fans, and then ask normal fans.

Tommy Dukes: Normal fans?

Nerma: Yeah.

Tommy Dukes: How are they different from the internet fans?

Nerma: Huh?

Tommy Dukes: Everyone has the internet right?

Nerma: Uh…probably?

Tommy Dukes: And they’re fans of wrestling?

Nerma: I imagine they would be…cause they’re here.

Tommy Dukes: They how is a normal fan different from an internet wrestli-

Nerma: He doesn’t want us to ask fat neckbeards that wear jorts and bring replica belts to the show.

Tommy Dukes: Ooooh! Why didn’t you just say so!

Nerma: Oh brother, I-

?: I don’t have the internet?

Tommy and Nerma: Huh?

Tommy and Nerma turn to see an unassuming man standing behind them.

Nerma: …You are?

?: Tim.

Nerma: Tim.

Tommy Dukes: You don’t have the internet?

Tim: Yeah.

Tommy Dukes: And you’re a fan of wrestling?

Tim: Love it.

Tommy and Nerma: THEY DO EXIST!

-

Larry Grim: Spies? They realize we could see them right?

Apple Kid: I caught them trying to sneak into Swift’s office. They panicked and started making out on his secretary's desk. I knew they were faking immediately.

Larry Grim: How did you know that?

Apple Kid: Tommy was on top.

Larry Grim: Yeah, that makes sense. So-




Apple Kid: Now what’s that? Look, it’s Tracy and Bad Vibes. Here they come. The brand new team she has put together, and they’re gonna take on EBW’s team of the Twin Lariats and Cherry Akintola NEXT!

Larry Grim: You know, people assume I like Marilyn Manson, but I really don’t.

Apple Kid: Why would they assume that?

Larry Grim: Look at me.

Apple Kid: I try not to buddy.

2. 6-Woman Tag: Tracy<MCW>/Ariel<MCW>/Rayne<MCW> vs. Wendy Mustang/Lainey Strong/Cherry Akintola  
-Tracy and Bad Vibes made their debut as a unit against some of EBW’s young guns, and the Edo veteran Wendy Mustang. Bad Vibes wanted to prove themselves against the former tag champs, while Tracy seemed hell bent on making Cherry’s life miserable. The warrior from Deep Darkness was more than happy to square up with the veteran, but Tracy had the experience, the rule breaking, and Bad Vibes backing her up. Tracy tossed Lainey into Wendy, and they both took a spill to ringside. Cherry was the legal woman, and tried to hit the Cherry Landslide, but Tracy escaped and went for the TikTak. Cherry elbowed out of it surprisingly, but the momentum was short lived, as Bad Vibes went on the offense and obliterated her with a crisp Magic Killer. Tracy put one foot on Cherry as the ref counted the pin.
Winner: Tracy<MCW>[o]/Ariel<MCW>/Rayne<MCW> via Magic Killer x One Foot Pin to Cherry Akintola -> Pin

Tracy: EBW! Oh it’s great to be back in this ring, wrestling for you people that I love so so much! HA! You buying it? No, it’s actually true, I do love that you’re here, because without you here, who would I get to sing my praises. What good is the power and glory, if no one is there to bask in you wielding it? So….please….feel free to bask in my glory! The dark days are over. My time shackled to that buffoon Tack Angel are over. I have crossed over into my paradise. My “ELYSIUM”. That is what you see here. Myself, Ariel, and Rayne. Tracy and the Bad Vibes, are here to bring you the best, because we just can’t help but BE the best. Doesn’t matter if it’s in MCW or EBW. Anywhere we are, we are the best. This is the team I want watching my back, and girls…girls girls girls…you have made the best choice of your careers. You stand with me, and you stand with the OG. Who else could it be? Paula? My brother’s biggest mistake if you ask me. She wants a title shot at Rumble City, and she’s going to get it, but she’s going to regret it. M’s? Oh, so she won TUE, but we all saw what a mistake that’s been ever since right? Why are you booing me? You know she hates you right? At least with me, you know where you stand. You DON’T stand…you kneel…but I’ll tell you that to your face. With M’s, she has spent year after year trying to escape from you. She hates you. Why? That’s what I want to know. You treated her like the royalty I AM. You gave her everything, and she still turned her back on all of you. Her husband lives and breathes this company, and she would see it burned down. You might wonder why, and it’s because she’s selfish, conceited, and self centered. It’s as simple as that. She won’t accept your praise, because you’re not giving it to her right or something. She doesn’t want to be YOUR champion. She has to do it HER way. Speaking of HER…say anyone remember that large fire in Onett? The one that nearly burned down this whole city? I know someone who should have apologized for that one. You won’t remember this, but psychics have a way of remembering things. You all know my brother Ness the psychic right? You can say it’s bullshit all you want. I wouldn’t blame you. However, some of that must’ve rubbed off on me, cause I remember. I remember what you’ve done Tali. I remember every time you were welcomed back with open arms after committing all those atrocities, and still you never once say thank you. You never once accept your position or your adoration. You just want to run off and do your own thing again. SELFISH! But…we’re not here to talk about M’s. We’re done talking about M’s right? We’ve been there and we’ve done that, and I agreed that I won’t be getting involved in her business. Bad Vibes on the other hand…did not make that agreement. Real Rush have double duty at Rumble City. You got the Rumble City match, with the bounty on your head, but Venus couldn’t save you from the title shot that Bad Vibes are owed. Time to pay up. That’s for them, and for me, I’ll be more than happy to see Paula sent back to my brother with a big dose of reality, and a whole lot more humility, and I’ll do it inside of a STEEL CAGE! This is Elysium. Welcome to paradise.

Backstage

Miss Xtra: Miss Xtra here, cause Kid Cadet saw a butterfly and wandered off like an idiot or something. I don’t know. She’s a nutcase. She’s the kind of girl who doesn’t just stick a fork in the toaster, but takes it in the bathtub with her. You catch my drift? She’s a moron. Two guys that are NOT morons however are Television Champion Bashin Dan and Jammer. Dan Club has been at war with Kaiba Corp. the last few months, and it doesn’t look like Kaiba wants to give you the conclusion you’re looking for. I mean obviously he doesn’t, but he’s making sure it’s not even called into question by avoiding you at all costs Dan.

Jammer: That’s cause he’s a punk coward!

Bashin Dan: Jammer please, I can handle this. Yeah though, that’s exactly it apparently. I don’t like to insult people like that, but what else can be said. He picked Vape, and then had his goons attack Benji to get us away from the ring, so he could pick apart our friend. It’s most unkind, and unsportsmanlike. Kaiba, you think you’ve got all the cards, but I have an ACE in the hole. I’ve got a plan, and we’re trusting the plan, and with a flash timing move, the tables will turn on you, and you won’t even realize-



Jaden Yuki: Whoa whoa whoa you two, you thought you had all the answers, but Jaden Yuki, changed the questions. I flipped the script the on ya. Why? Cause I’m absolutely flawless, and Kaiba pays better! Haha!
Jammer: You son of a-

Seto Kaiba: Vape was easy. I’m sure you’d be easier Dan, but I’m perfectly fine never finding that out. I already beat you. I got what I wanted from you. You lost, I’m the King of Games, and you can’t handle that. I should be focusing my gaze upon the World Championship, but then again…I do have a face for TV don’t I? How much I would love that Television Championship, because YOU have it. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to sell it?

Bashin Dan: Not a chance.

Seto Kaiba: Of course not. It’s all you have left. The symbol of the fallen ACE. You were a mega star around here, but now you’re just under my boot.

Bashin Dan: Do you not care that people see you as a coward?

Seto Kaiba: Screw what they say. I have money!

Jaden Yuki: Yo Dan man, are you ignoring me here? Am I dead to you now?

Bashin Dan: …I wish I could take care of two birds with one stone Jaden.

Jaden Yuki: Oh he speaks to me! You’d like that, but you’d both job out to the best of the best here.

Jammer: He’s got the cash, and you’ve got the mouth, but we’ve got the talent. Dan and I would wipe the floor with you.

Jaden Yuki: Why don’t we prove it Jam Jam?

Seto Kaiba: What are you doing Jaden?

Jaden Yuki: Let’s shut them up once and for all Kaiba dude. You and me will take on Dan and little Jammy boy.

Seto Kaiba: …Did you forget the part where I said-

Jaden Yuki: You know that little shit is getting on your nerves, and you want to shut him down right? We’ll settle it once and for all. Dan, you’d vacate the TV title if you lost right?

Bashin Dan: If it gets me a shot at Kaiba.

Jaden Yuki: See? Don’t worry Kaiba, I’ve got it all figured out. Don’t tag in, and let me do the heavy lifting. You save face, AND Dan vacates the belt.

Seto Kaiba: …I didn’t bring you on for your strategic mind Yuki…that being said, your plan intrigues me. However, I have to say NO…UNLESS…Dan not only vacates the title, BUT he personally gets on his knees and HANDS ME my next prize that I will take from him.

Jaden Yuki: You hear that Danny boy? Don’t be wiggity whack my man. Take the deal!

Bashin Dan: ...Fine. I’m willing to have those stakes if it means I can get to both of you at once. Jaden, you’re gutless. You’re a turncoat. Kaiba…you’re mine.

Seto Kaiba: Heh. I’m not seeing it Dan. Jaden decided with this plan of his…that he wants to be Executive VP of Kaiba Corp.

Jaden Yuki: You know it dawg!

-

Larry Grim: Fans, do you like rock music? You like rock right? Rock n’ Wrestling sort of saved the day back in the 80’s so I sure hope you do.

Apple Kid: Most people these days like that weird trap music. I for one, don’t see why it’s called that. I mean the boys don’t really pass for girls to me. I ALMOST made a mistake one-

Larry Grim: I don’t think that’s what that means.

Apple Kid: Oh. Disregard.

Larry Grim: We have an EBW talent turned MCW talent turned rock MEGA STAR! Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Kelly Steel and her band TWISTED STEEL!




Kelly Steel: Thank you! Let me hear ya EBW! HAHA! Ya know, I had to LEAVE this place to actually get some traction, and now you cheer me? That’s rich. That’s a real-WHOA!



Heather Mach: GET OUT OF MY WAY!

Mr. Pirkle: SECURITY! LOCK HER DOWN!

Kelly Steel: IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CONCERT! YOU BITCH!

Heather Mach: FIGHT ME! FIGHT ME KELLY!

Kelly Steel: FORGET IT! I’M DONE! GOODNIGHT ONETT!

Mr. Pirkle: DAMMIT!

3. Non-Title Singles: Bashin Dan vs. Viper
-After a lockup exchange, Dan got the first bit of offense with a dropkick for a quick cover. Viper took control of Dan’s arm on the mat before transitioning into a headlock of his own. Viper laid in the knees, but Dan slid out of the way of the inside-out senton. Dan went to the floor after Viper, but Viper caught him with a dragon screw leg whip into the barricade. Back in the ring, Viper got a nearfall off of a sliding lariat. A bodyslam and another dragon screw out of the corner for Viper. Viper did more work on the leg as the five-minute call was announced. A running elbow got a nearfall as Viper kept control. Viper locked in a single-leg crab in the center of the ring, but Dan powered out and countered a single-leg takedown into a La Magistral cradle for two. Dan caught Viper with a backbreaker but hurt his own knee in the process.Dan ducked a big roundhouse kick and dropped Viper with a lariat. Neckbreaker from Dan scored a two count. Viper grabbed the hair to get out of a side suplex before hammering Dan with shots, but Dan took him down with an uppercut. Dan hit a Blue Thunder Bomb for a nearfall and tried to follow it with the Brace Clash, but his knee gave out. Viper hit a belly-to-belly suplex into the turnbuckle pad for a nearfall. Viper applied a sleeper hold, but Dan rolled Viper in a pin to get out of it. The fans were shocked at Viper's in-ring ability. He has obviously been paying attention and training for the bout. They were shocked again as Jaden Yuki once again made his presence known after jaw jacking at Dan backstage. He rushed into the ring and attacked Dan, with Viper shrugging and joining in. Jammer and a limping Benjamin came out when the Black Shirts security got decimated. The Gladiators also came out to try and calm down the red hot Viper. DQ win for Dan.

Winner: Bashin Dan via DQ

Larry Grim: Jaden Yuki, is not being absolutely flawless right now. He’s being absolutely nefarious.

Apple Kid: Good one Larry.

Larry Grim: Thanks Apple. The Gladiators are not happy with how that happened either, and Viper is saying he was just rolling with it. We definitely have our bad boy of the invading Gladiators, though that Turbo is the one that scares me. It’s the eyes.

Apple Kid: This coming from the guy that has no eyes.

Larry Grim: He’d be less scary with no eyes.

Apple Kid: I don’t know if that’s true.



Miss Xtra: Miss Xtra here again, cause apparently Good News Gary is on vacation? Does it not rain here enough for Rains or something? Anyways, I’m joined by a new recruit to the EBW, and I know that I need to narrow that down, cause the roster got SWOLE did it not? Ugh, I heard Kid Cadet use the word swole and now I can’t stop saying it. I even said “bussin” earlier? Why am I say- I’m getting off track. This is Dalaam’s own Rama Raju! I’m sure he’s here for many reasons, but we need to find out what they are right? So Mr. Raju, what brings you to EBW?

Rama Raju: …I have my goals.

Miss Xtra: …Heh…hehe…I’m…I’m sure you do, but what are they specifically?

Rama Raju: …..

Miss Xtra: You’re uh…keeping it close to the vest huh? We all just want to know why you’re her-

Zyro Kurogane: I know why he’s here. That’s right it’s story time with Zyro-K BEY-BEEEEEEY! The strong and stoic type huh? Well I’m just gonna let it rip and get right to OK? He wants this. The EBW World Championship. Plain and simple. Why else would he be here? What else could he want? Am I right? Say, nice mustache by the way.

Rama Raju: …I made a vow to my village and my people. I made a promise to…a friend. My goals are my goals, but make no mistake Zyro Kurogane…you’re right…I will become EBW World Champion.

Zyro Kurogane: You see, everybody wants to be World Champion, and Rama Raju wants to test himself against the be-

Rama Raju: I did not say I was going to test myself. I said…I WILL become EBW World Champion.

Zyro Kurogane: Heard it before.

Rama Raju: That’s no concern of mine. A warning to you, and just one warning. Do not play with fire.

Zyro Kurogane: …Whatever.

Miss Xtra: ...Well at least Zyro got something out of him right? Right?

4. Non-Title Women's Singles: Erica vs. Makoto Angel
-The crowd fired up behind Makoto, as did her Sailor Scout friends, as she stood up against the unpredictable Women’s World Champion Erica. Makoto was strong at the start, showing no fear as she laid into Erica, who took every shot in stride, but was still on the defensive for the first several minutes. After a while, she bit into Makoto’s forehead and started landing her own shots. She blocked a Dragon Suplex attempt, and countered Makoto’s every move until she finally hit the Air Raid Crash, but Makoto had the presence of mind to roll out of the ring. She was on the wrong side though, surrounded by The Preacher, The Auditor, and Kishin Kid. Kid planted a big kiss on Makoto, before laughing and tossing her back into the ring. This brought out Tack Angel, who ran down with a chair as an equalizer to break through The Assessor and The Witness. As he tried to get his hands on Kishin Kid, Erica trapped Makoto in the Crossface. She dug her nails in to make her bleed, and the ref eventually called for the bell. The Women’s World Champion won via Referee Stoppage.
Winner: Erica via Ripping Crossface -> Referee Stoppage

Larry Grim: Makoto! Minako, is she OK?!

Apple Kid: Tack is running back to check on her, with the Scouts while Kishin Kid is laughing with The Preacher on the stage. This isn’t funny. That’s our friend!

Larry Grim: She gave it her best for sure, but Erica’s head is in another place, and she’s got demonic back up.

Apple Kid: It looks like Makoto is getting back up from her volition. The crowd is giving her the respect she deserves. She’s not a full time fighter even. This is far from over between Tack and Kishin Kid.

Larry Grim: Tack is staying in the ring as the Scouts help Makoto to the back, because we have a main event to get to. Perfection will defend against Blood 4 Blood. The World Team Championships are on the line next, and since Tommy Dukes is back with us for a time we can safely say LET’S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

Apple Kid: -RING! I didn’t know we were doing that. You got to tell me.

5. EBW World Team Championship: Zyro Kurogane(c)/w00t(c)/Mike Thunder(c)/Isiah Muscle(c) vs. Trevor Mach/Tack Angel/Subculture/Picky Minch
-Main event time, as Blood 4 Blood challenged Perfection to an all out war for the World Team Championship Rings. Trevor and w00t tagged in first, to give the fans a big treat, but Zyro tagged himself instead and took charge against the Bad Man. After the opening exchange, Mach caught Kurogane with the dragon screw out of the corner. Zyro-K came back by getting Machi to the top rope and hitting the big dropkick. Kurogane  sent Mach  into the barricade and into the apron with charges. Mach caught him with strikes, but Kurogane dropped him with a DDT.  Another DDT from Zyro-K in the ring got a nearfall. Mach chants rained down as Kurogane dropped him with a neckbreaker. Mach was fired up, and refused to tag out or go back out of the ring with Zyro-K, making him fight his way, which w00t protested against and tried to tag in himself. It felt more like a singles match, as neither man wanted to tag out or give up, but eventually Tack Angel tagged in to mix it up. Kishin Kid watched from the stage at this point, as Tack took on Mike and his son, making quick tags to try and work him over. He eventually tagged out to Subculture, and ran towards Kishin Kid, but turned back to support the team, which earned Picky’s respect. Late in the match, w00t was in the ring with Picky Minch. They were working on the ground, when w00t pulled out a pair of knuckles, and clocked Picky in the head while obscuring the action from the ref. w00t talked trash at Trevor, but was surprised again as Zyro tagged in. He told Mike and Isiah to run defense, while he lifted Picky for the Straight Jacket Hagen, and pinned him for the win and the title defense.
Winners:  Zyro Kurogane(c)[o]/w00t(c)/Mike Thunder(c)/Isiah Muscle(c) via Straight Jacket Hagen on Picky Minch -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Larry Grim: Perfection with the win, after w00t used the foreign object, BUT WAIT WHAT’S THIS?! ZYRO KUROGANE IS ATTACKING w00t! He’s attacking his mentor!

Apple Kid: Mike and Isiah are just standing there….WAIT NO! THEY’RE ATTACKING w00t TOO! Perfection has turned on w00t! Perfection has turned on w00t!

Larry Grim: Zyro is taking the ring, Trevor’s old ring, from w00t’s finger and putting it on his hand! w00t is reaching out at Zyro-K! He’s screaming at him! “What are you doing! You’re ruining everything!” he just said right before Zyro knocked him out!

Zyro Kurogane: I’m ruining everything w00t? No, you ruined it…but showing what you truly are. I’m not ruining anything! I’m running EVERYTHING! Perfection is now under new management. Guys like you think you’re better, but you couldn’t surpass my Samurai Steel! That Rama Raju he called himself The Fire, but I bring THE HEAT! You’re looking at the formation of SAMURAI IFRIT!

Twoson Fairgrounds - Parking Lot

Tracy paced back and forth, with Ariel and Rayne not too far behind, as she saw a pure black van pull up. Tracy ran over and saw a distraught w00t exit the van with The Preacher, The Auditor, Kishin Kid, and Erica. Tracy and Erica stared at one another before Erica walked away.

Tracy: Finally! I was looking for you! Why didn’t you take the limo?!

The Preacher: Dig this sister, the man needed enlightening in our ways. He needed a pep talk about what to do next.

The Auditor: And we didn’t even charge him for it. w00t’s blood is very…valuable to me, but what he does soon will only increase its value to us.

Tracy: I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I don’t even care. You have the security clearance into the VIP room, and those jerk Red Shirts have an anti-MCW bias so-

w00t: I need them back. I need Perfection back.

Tracy: What?

w00t: I will do what I have to do. I’ll do anything I have to do. Do you understand me Tracy?

Tracy: Um…I think?

w00t: I will have Perfection. I will have it. It’s mine, and I will have it.

Tracy: Well you know what I suggested right? That’s two birds with one stone.

w00t: Two birds…one stone.

Tracy: Right, so I’m just going to take w00t off your hands now, and get a few drinks in him. If you’ll excuse me.

The Preacher: We could always use another one for the ride sister. We could show you the ways of pain. I could show you the one we serve ya dig?

Tracy: Ha! Thanks, but no thanks. I only serve myself.

The Auditor: …I find her quite…endearing.


"Yngwie Malmsteen - Only the Strong"



Tommy Dukes: Welcome to Twoson! We’re in the Fairgrounds, and it’s time for XP baby!

Nerma: Of all the shows this week, this is the second one of three! Wait, make that four, because Rumble City is just around the corner, where the men and women of EBW and MCW will rumble in River City to see who will be going on to make their dream come true at Victory Explosion IN THE DOME!

Tommy Dukes: But we’re not there just yet, we have a big show for you tonight as well. It starts with Bad Dudes, and it ends with Bad Dudettes! How cool is that?

Nerma: It’s very cool Tommy. Very cool. And for all the people that have been calling us spies and stuff since Xcite, let me just say….SO?! We don’t technically work for EBW anymore!

Tommy Dukes: …I..I still like EBW. I just want us to get along. *sniff*

Nerma: Now look at that, you’re making Tommy cry. You happy?

Tommy Dukes: I’m a vulnerable boy.

Nerma: Let’s get to the action shall-

"Kiss and Momoiro Clover Z - Samurai Son"



Nerma: Well never mind that! Here comes EBW World Champion Zyro Kurogane, Mike Thunder, and Isiah Muscle. The trio now known as Samurai Ifrit! They attacked w00t and took his Team Championship Ring to boot. Zyro is wearing Trevor’s old ring now, with one on each other hand, and that top prize, the World Championship around his waist. He’s looking pretty smug and confident today. Let’s hear what he has to say.

Zyro Kurogane: Storytime with Zyro-K BEY-BEEEEEY! You all didn’t really think I bought into w00t’s spiel about “making it look good” did you? I saw that coming a mile away. I didn’t need Trevor Mach getting in my ear either. It was clear as day. You watch a man, study a man…like w00t…and you pick up on things very quickly. He had even fooled himself into thinking he didn’t need the title anymore, but I knew, the moment he won it, that I’d have to rip it away from him. Something else I didn’t need Trevor Mach for by the way. The old man doesn’t realize that the new hotness doesn’t need him at all. I don’t need Trevor Mach. I don’t need Tack Angel. I certainly don’t need w00t. I got it all figured out. They underestimate me. YOU all underestimate me. Despite what Seto Kaiba would have you believe, I’m the King of Games, because I played you all. Mike and Isiah were only going to follow w00t so far. Mike is a man of muscle, but he’s got the brains too. He KNOWS w00t’s true nature. He’s a veteran I can respect. Isiah, he’s the new hotness, just like me, and maybe we’ll have to fight for the World Championship down the line, but we’ll do it on our terms, and not under the thumb of an egotistical maniac like w00t.

Isiah Muscle: That’s right. He’s got it right. That’s absolutely how it’s gonna be, on OUR terms. Champ, I gotta cut you off here, cause it’s great to get a chance to really air my grievances without w00t “suggesting” I just stand here looking fine like only I can. Zyro-K is the youngest World Champion. The youngest 2-time World Champion. We’re the World Team Champions. We’re the future World Tag Team Champions. What is there to be worried about? What is there to be upset about? I’ll tell you. It was flexing and smiling for the camera like a puppet, while w00t was pulling my strings. Dude, I’m no puppet, and you’re no puppet master. Manipulation is the name of the game, and you used to be the King of it, but we’ve outgrown you now. The young guns took what they needed, and we’re done with you.

Mike Thunder: Uuuuuu! LET ME HEAR YA EBW! FLEX THOSE PECS! Uuuuuu! Feel the THUNDER! Kid, I gotta tell you I’m proud of you. Hell, I’m proud of you both. In EBW we rotate around a lot, with who we trust, and who we pretend to trust. You picked up what I was putting down a lot faster than most. You can’t trust a snake. We played him, and now we’re done. Simple as, but we’re just getting started as a unit, and since I’m in it, you know it’s gonna be one IMPRESSIVE “unit”. You’re all gonna feel the THUNDER! The MUSCLE! The HEAT! Samurai Ifrit is going to carve this promotion up, take it from a veteran that knows. Game recognizes game. I-

w00t: You couldn’t be MORE WRONG!

Zyro Kurogane: Here he comes.

w00t: You’re ingrates, and you don’t realize just what you’ve done! We NEED Perfection! You all need me at the top of Perfection! You need it…because without Perfection…bad things happen…horrible things. Things you can’t even imagine yet. You think I was running Perfection to keep you under my thumb? I needed Perfection, to save me from myself. To save all of you from myself, because idle hands are the devil’s plaything, and while I don’t believe in the devil, I’m the next best thing. We still have time. Repent! Beg me to take you back! Rejoin Perfection, and you can avoid-

Zyro Kurogane: Save it w00t! Save it! You used me, you used them, just like you always do, but you got played this time, and it’s over. Perfection is over. You tried to break a pact with me, and you got beat for it. That’s what happens, and that’s what’s going to happen again at Rumble City. When I beat you, it’s OVER!

w00t: IT’S NOT OVER! IT’S NEVER OVER! IT’LL NEVER BE OVER! I WILL HAVE PERFECTION BACK OR I WILL DO SOMETHING THAT EVEN I MIGHT REGRET!

Commercial Break

Vape: Vape here! You know, when you get older, your body produces a lot less testosterone.

Tack Angel: Tack Angel here, and I…unfortunately have heard that yeah.

Vape: That affects everything that makes you feel like a man.

Tack Angel: …I’m not having that problem right now. I’m not sure why I got brought in for this commerci-

Vape: You know SHE can tell…in the bedroom.

Tack Angel: What?! That’s not true! We’re great! You don’t need to know that though! I have NEVER been one to kiss and tell!

Vape: Before you face a full on vitality crisis, you find a testosterone boosting supplement on television. You know it’s legit, cause it’s sold in a big black container, and shilled by a famous sports athlete!

Tack Angel: I MAY have tried one of those yes.

Vape: Before you know it, you’re a new man! You’re running faster, kicking harder, and lasting longer in the bedroom!

Tack Angel: All of that sounds great so far!

Vape: You did it hoss! You’re a man again! Only one problem, you’ve turned into a full psycho!

Tack Angel: What?!

Vape: Look at yourself man. You’re wearing skin tight muscle shirts to work. You’ve got a jet black goatee!

Tack Angel: I didn’t dye anything!

Vape: You think it’s cool porno railing your wife? She’s got osteoporosis you monster.

Tack Angel: How old do you think we are?!

Vape: You’re cracking eggs with a sledgehammer bro!

Tack Angel: Hehe…egg.

Vape: You’re making all those new MCW girls uncomfortable with your raw manly magnitude. I mean you DO remember your wife at home right? She’s the one icing down her shattered pelvis.

Tack Angel: I can’t even look those girls in the eye man! Are you sure I’m supposed to be here for this? I feel like you’re talking about someone else! Why would they even put US together this-

Vape: What you need is BETA FORCE! The only supplement that can undo that alpha nightmare you’ve created.

Tack Angel: Oh….there it is. That’s not cool. I don’t appreciate that.

Vape: Take it from me, the biggest beta in EBW.

Tack Angel: I’m not a beta. I’m walking away. I’m leaving now. Vape doesn’t care. He didn’t even know I was here. He just reads the cue cards and cashes the check. This was rude guys. Super rude.

-

Nerma: And we’re back! Tack Angel may not have liked being in that commercial, but he apparently enjoys being in Blood 4 Blood, so much so that he had this Blood 4 Blood +1 shirt made, which is weird because he’s not an additional member to the four. He is now one of the four, with Mav Valentine still in intensive care.

Tommy Dukes: He keeps saying Blood 4 Blood Featuring Tack Angel of the Angel May Cry Series. I don’t know if he understands that he’s officially been slotted INTO the group.

Nerma: What we do know, is that up next, Trevor Mach and Tack Angel, the Blood 4 Blood Bad Dudes will be taking on The Stygian Inquisition.

Tommy Dukes: Let’s take it to the ring!

EBW: XP
Twoson Fairgrounds, Twoson
ENN

1. Tag: Trevor Mach/Tack Angel vs. The Assessor/The Witness
-The Blood 4 Blood Bad Dudes battled The Stygian Inquisition in the opener, going up against the devious and blood thirsty Assessor and Witness, while The Preacher, Kishin Kid, and Erica watched from the stage, and The Auditor loomed around the ring side area. Classic Bad Dudes with quick tags and hard hitting offense. The combination was dominant, but The Auditor tripping them up at every turn kept it going. Kishin Kid specifically yelled for his “stable” mates to make Tack bleed, and the Witness tried with the barbed wire on his face. The Auditor attempted to collect the blood with a fountain pen, but Picky Minch and Subculture ran down to make the save. At one point Tack was down on the mat, and Trevor couldn’t wake him up, until he went off the top rope with an elbow to jump start him again. Trevor threw a hard knee at The Witness, and tagged back out to Tack, rushing over to fight with The Assessor, telling him to “assess this” as he tackled him to the floor. Tack CLUTCHED the WRIST on The Witness and repaid the blood with a Wrist Clutch Angel Driver for the 1-2-3.
Winners: Trevor Mach/Tack Angel[o] via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver on The Witness -> Pin

Tack Angel: Kishin Kid! I’M COMING TO KILL YOU! IN RIVER CITY! IN YOUR HOUSE!

Trevor Mach: Or in the ring?

Tack Angel: N-NO! IN REAL LIFE! I’m going to stalk him and become obsessed with him, and wear his skin as a coat!

Trevor Mach: Yeah?

Tack Angel: …No not really. I’m not me when I’m hungry, so I’m gonna grab a snack, but FIRST, I’m going to issue a real challenge, and this comes from not just me, but Makoto as well. Trev, I was inspired to see the Macho Sexy team reassemble to take on w00t and Tracy, and it gave me an idea. How about Makoto and I take on Kishin Kid and Erica?

Trevor Mach: Now we’re talking baby!

Tack Angel: If I’m going to fight that evil, I don’t have to do it alone!

Trevor Mach: Case in point…this match just now!

Tack Angel: I’m so happy I have you as my best friend, and I love Makoto so much.

Trevor Mach: Careful, that’s a room quote!

Tack Angel: Huh?

Trevor Mach: You’re my favorite tag partner.

Tack Angel: Let’s go eat huh?

2. Women’s Singles: Siren vs. Tiger Storm<MCW>
-Siren of the Eagleland Gladiators was up next, as the muscular deaf athlete squared up with the Edo sensation, turned EBW turncoat Tiger Storm. She came out tearing up EBW signs and carrying herself as not wanting to be there, but that didn’t stop her from going all out in the ring, trying to put down “yet another ENN failure”. Tiger Storm had to out wrestle Siren to survive her onslaught, as she had the clear strength advantage, but in wrestling, Siren was finding out that she needed more than that, and quickly adapted to the situation. During the match, Darkness Aoi, Mitra Lennox, and Hilda Iceheart came out, with Aoi once again distracting Tiger Storm like she did on Neon Nights. This allowed Siren to scoop her up into the Torture Rack. She racked Storm until the Referee finally called for the stoppage. Siren with a victory heading into her Rumble City encounter with Hope Mach.
Winner: Siren via Torture Rack -> Referee Stoppage

Nerma: Wow! Impressive action, but then Aoi got involved and once again caused Tiger Storm to lose a match. She’s livid. She’s angry. She’s…coming this way.
Tiger Storm: ALRIGHT! FINE! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?! YOU WANT A WAR?! YOU’RE GONNA GET ONE YOU KNOW THAT?! YOU’RE GONNA GET ONE! Aoi, you represent EBW, and EBW seemingly wants to poke me, prod me, and push ME OVER THE EDGE! YOU WANT A WAR?! DIG DOWN IN YOUR BUNKERS! DIG DOWN IN THE TRENCHES! GET READY FOR SHOCK AND AWE!

Tommy Dukes: …She…she actually clawed him just now. Ouch!

Backstage

Trevor and Tack were walking back from catering when they slowly passed a smoldering and intense figure walking the opposite direction. Rama Raju.

Trevor Mach: That dude…is intense.

Tack Angel: Tell me about it. You ready to square up with him at Rumble City?

Trevor Mach: Going in first, coming out last man.

Tack Angel: You ready for that though?

Trevor Mach: It was MY idea.

Tack Angel: Yeah, but you’re not the youngster you used to be.

Trevor Mach: Says the guy in the Beta Force commercial.

Tack Angel: I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT IT WA-

w00t: You two.

Trevor Mach: Oh look at that. The w00t stands alone. Got some guts stepping up to us by yourself man.

w00t: You have caused all my problems. Since before EBW. Since before Polestar.

Trevor Mach: …What are you talking abo-

w00t: You know what I’m talking about. This isn’t the first life we’ve waged war against one another. It won’t be the last. You and I…we’re gonna be at each other’s throats until the universe burns up! I will make you PAY for what you’ve done. You stole away my Perfection. You stole it all away.

Trevor Mach: And there he goes.

Tack Angel: You really got to that guy.

Trevor Mach: Yep.

Tack Angel: You getting the feeling that might not be the best thing?

Trevor Mach: Yep.

Tack Angel: Watch your back?

Trevor Mach: Yep.

Tack Angel: Yep.

3. EBW World Tag Team Championships: Sal Paradise(c)/Jason Boomtown(c) vs. Mike Thunder/Isiah Muscle
-LoveBoom came in with a lot of confidence, in this Tag Team Championship rematch, as Mike and Son were the team they beat to win the titles in the first place. However, things were different now, with Mike revitalized as Mike Thunder, and the two now being members of the Samurai Ifrit stable. The World Champion Zyro Kurogane watched on from ringside, as his team battled the popular champs. Sal and Boomtown were getting this down to a science, but it all came down to one moment in the match, where Boomtown tagged in Sal after hitting Here Comes the Boom! onto Mike. Sal went up for the Perfect Sky and the crowd was at a fever pitch, when Mike suddenly jumped to life and met Sal on the top rope. The two traded shots, with Mike winning out and lifting Sal for the big Muscle Buster off the top. Isiah blocked Jason from getting involved, as Mike pinned Sal for the win, and the World Tag Team Championships!
Winners: Mike Thunder[o]/Isiah Muscle via Top Rope Muscle Buster on Sal Paradise -> Pin -> NEW EBW World Tag Team Champions!

Tommy Dukes: NEW CHAMPIONS! WE HAVE NEW EBW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Mike is looking sharper than ever, and that Muscle Buster off the top rocked Sal Paradise the worst he’s had it since his comeback. Boomtown is checking on him, and he seems fine, but the EMTs are coming to check just in case.

Nerma: That was a dangerous situation, but Mike went for it, and now he and his son are the World Tag Team Champions once again.

The Alison Chains Show

Alison Chains was sitting behind a desk with Real Rush, wearing a mom sweater and sipping from a mug, as the three mocked gossiped and laughed.

Alison Chains: Oh hello there, and welcome to The Alison Chains Show kids! I wasn’t getting the air time I wanted, so I went into the production truck and screamed and pulled my hair until I got what I wanted!

Real M’s: That tends to do it! It’s great catching up. I knew you better as Wonderland, but even then you didn’t eat as many hallucinogens in one sitting.

Alison Chains: I just need a SNACK to get up in the morning! That’s not weird!

Real M’s: Your pupils…they’re a little off. Seriously though, you don’t call, you don’t write. Where ya been?

Alison Chains: …

The background music muted, and the lights dimmed, as Alison leaned over to M’s.

Alison Chains: I’ve seen things…beyond the event horizon of the void. We live inside of a dream.

Real M’s: …Oh yeah?

Alison Chains: AHAHAHAHAHA! JUST KIDDING…or am I? Am I clawing at my face right now?

Rhea Rampage: You just broke a nail into your chin you crazy whackadoo!

Alison Chains: Haha! Of course I did! It’s fun! So ladies, we have the Rumble City Match coming up, and you are the first two in. Excited to be making history!

Rhea Rampage: Not really. I didn’t want to be #2. That decision in of itself is #2. I mean I’m in the match as long as this chick, but since she’s designated #1 she’ll get all the credit if she wins.

Real M’s: That’s right. I deserve it anyways. Having some fun at Pirkle’s expense, I’m laying off the booze, I’m in shape, I’m a World Tag Team Champion, and I’m gonna win Rumble City. I deserve the success.

Rhea Rampage: If you say so yourself.

Real M’s: I do say so myself. I DO say so. What personal demons?

Rhea Rampage: I didn’t say anything about-

Alison Chains: I SOOOOO get what you’re saying. I have personal demons, and they talk to me all the time, and I can see the demons all around you too.

Rhea Rampage: Demons? Where?

Alison Chains: *whispers* They want to get inside of us, but the skeleton keeps them out. Be sure to thank your skeleton.

Rhea Rampage: …Thanks?

Alison Chains: We have a special guest today.

Rhea Rampage: Are we not the special guests?

Real M’s: You might be Special ED.

Rhea Rampage: HEY!

Alison Chains: It’s the future World Champion, if my drug induced dreams are accurate. Paula!

Real M’s: Paula?

Paula: *sigh* I didn’t want to be here, but she begged me, and screeched about it for hours, literally hours. She screamed for a solid ten minutes at one point. How do you do that?

Alison Chains: Kill Mozart.

Paula: What?

Alison Chains: Practice.

Paula: I don’t get that.

Alison Chains: What I get, is that you and Tracy are finally have that Cage match at Rumble City. Are you ready to make history?

Paula: I’m not looking to make history, but I’m looking to wrestle. I wish it was at an MCW show, but here we are.

Real M’s: It’s fine, we’re all a bunch of EBW haters here apparently. Isn’t that what Tracy said? I hate EBW for no reason right? *rolls eyes*

Paula: EBW has saved your life a few times, it lead to my son being in danger. That was the moment the line was crossed. I know you have your reasons, but I have mine, and mine mean something to me. It doesn’t matter. The promotion is in Swift’s hands now, and the fans deserve to see good women’s wrestling. I’ll show them GREAT women’s wrestling.

Real M’s: …I got my reasons lady! Don’t think I don’t have my reasons.

Paula: What are they?

Real M’s: Shut up!

Paula: Uh-huh.

Alison Chains: …I like it here!

Rhea Rampage: …Of course you do.

Alison Chains: Hehehe. You two have your hands full as well at Rumble City. Gonna have a tag title bout. You ready to deal with some “Bad Vibes”?

Real M’s: We’re re-

Alison Chains: Bad Vibes the team, AND the-

Real M’s: We got it! They’re a great team. They’re better than they get credit for, cause they’re nasty outside of the ring, it doesn’t mean they’re not clean and sharp in the ring. Here’s the problem for them. They are facing us, we’re nasty and mean and violent 24/7. I’m gonna give it my all, and this Elysium that Tracy just started will fizzle out immediately! Rhea’s not just gonna be a voyeur either. She can do more than that.

Rhea Rampage: That’s like a compliment, and an insult at the same time. It’s too accurate to argue about.

Real M’s: Look at me Chains…with those weird pupils of yours…WE’VE GOT THIS.

Rhea Rampage: That’s right.

Alison Chains: …I don’t even remember what we were talking about!

Real M’s: …Right.

4. 8-Man Tag: Bashin Dan/Jammer/Benjamin/Vape vs. Hazen/Razorblade/Rude/Jaden Yuki
-The next match saw Dan Club in its entirety square off with Kaiba Corp, now with Jaden Yuki rapping as a representative of the team. A mad dash grudge match, as this war kicks into another gear. Seto Kaiba appeared on the outside, ordering his team to put the hurt on Jammer, and dismantle him ahead of the Rumble City match. They refused to let him tag out and kept him in their corner. He finally broke free and made a big jump over to Benjamin, who cleared house, and made the opposition pay for the attack on Xcite. Still sporting a bandage on his head, he tagged out to Dan, while going after Hazen and Razorblade. Dan was in with Rude, but suddenly Seto Kaiba jumped onto the ring apron and clocked Dan with a roll of coins that exploded on impact. Jaden Yuki made a blind tag as Rude was attempting the Rule Breaker, and hit his own GX Factor, pinning Dan for the win.
Winners: Hazen/Razorblade/Rude/Jaden Yuki[o] via GX Factor on Bashin Dan -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: Another win for Kaiba Corp, all thanks to the newest member Jaden Yuki! He made sure that he hit the last move, and got the pin on the 5-time former World Champion. The Dangerous Player pinned by Mr. Absolutely Flawless. Not a good sign for the tag match at Rumble City…and yet…Dan has a smile on his face?

5. 6-Woman Tag: Tracy<MCW>/Ariel<MCW>/Rayne<MCW> vs. Hope Mach/Christina Angel/Alison Chains
-Main event time, as MCW’s Elysium collided with the best of the best of the weird in EBW, as Hope Mach, Christina Angel, and Alison Chains stepped up to represent EBW against Tracy’s growing threat. Ariel and Rayne, the team known as Bad Vibes, were surprisingly crisp in the ring, very technical and by the book, which was a sharp contrast to their behavior outside of the ring. Hope and Christina were up to the challenge, as was Alison at some points in the match, but others the double champion would wander off, or her eyes would heavily dilate, and she’d start talking to people who weren’t even there. Christina and Tracy had a big stare down after their long history, and were locking up, when suddenly, Tiger Storm rushed to the ring with Lacy Wagner and Kimber Blaze, two former EBW rising stars that made the jump during the MCW exodus. Elysium cleared the ring as this other team attacked the EBW heroines, leading to the DQ. Tracy didn’t seem to care, and laughed as she walked away with her title belt.
Winners: Hope Mach/Christina Angel/Alison Chains via DQ

Nerma: What’s going on here?! Tiger Storm, Lacy Wagner, and Kimber Blaze have cleared the ring. They’re taking off their top shirts to reveal…a large “E” in a yellow square?! We’ve seen that before!

Tommy Dumes: Ensiders! It’s the Ensiders! Tiger Storm has brought back the upset cast offs of EBW, and unleashed the Ensiders. Is this the war she was talking about?!

Nerma: If it’s not, that would be very confusing! Well folks, we’re on the road to Rumble City, but don’t miss Neon Nights! Miss Xtra apparently did, but OUR Kid Cadet did NOT. Goodnight everybody!
