"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"



Larry Grim: Welcome to EBW Xcite! The E1 Team League rolls on, and the battles are just heating up! We are less than a week away from New Year Rising 2024, and I for one am excited! 2024 is already off to a white hot start! 

Apple Kid: Indeed it is! We've seen some awesome matches so far in the Team League, and while we lost the World Team Championship Rings, we have a chance to win them back tonight! That's the opener in fact! Metal Rush is in the hooooouse. They'll be colliding with SUFFER, in a battle of the bad guys vs. the badder guys, but which team is "badder"? 

Larry Grim: Then we have Seiya Kou taking on "Belleroph-" Cadmus….it's Cadmus. We still don't know WHY he thought to wrestle as his sister that he's been FAR TOO close to in the past! 

Apple Kid: Yeah, like he was really gonna fool us with that get up! 

Larry Grim: He did. 

Apple Kid: Eh?

Larry Grim: He DID fool us…until Makoto exposed him.

Apple Kid: Y-yeah well…I knew the whole time. 

Larry Grim: No you didn't. 

Apple Kid: Yeah, you're right. 

Larry Grim: The CXJ Division will be in action, as Johnny Starbound puts in the work so he can scrub the toilets less. President Swift has got him going against Rey Dorado, Tony Wonder, and Brother Tiburon. If he wants a shot at whomever wins the Battle of the Tidal Chief, he'll need a win here. 

Apple Kid: Of course Tony Wonder might win. 

Larry and Apple: AHAHAHAHA! 

Larry Grim: That was a good one. I brought up Makoto earlier, and she'll be in action with Christina Angel and Usagi Tsukino, as they take on 3Queens in 6-Woman Tag action! Then, in the main event we have the Mega Powers Stars going up against Samurai Ifrit. It could get explosive with Metal Rush AND Samurai Ifrit being in the same building, OUR building! You're not going to want to miss this night! I mean, you're already here, so stick around! Let's kick things off with Metal Rush taking on SUFFER!

EBW: Xcite[E1 Team League]
Love's Arena, Valentine

1. E1 Team League - World Team Championship Rings: Razorblade/Snakebite/Troy/Viper[0] vs. Poo(c)<Havok>/Crono(c)<Havok>/Grind(c)<Havok>/Seto Kaiba(c)<Havok>[2]
-The E1 Team League Tournament witnessed a collision of chaos as Metal Rush, holders of the coveted World Team Rings, entered the ring against the formidable SUFFER from the Xcite Brand. The stakes were high, with the Rings on the line in this heated 8-Man Tag Match. Representing the dark and tumultuous forces of Havok, Metal Rush comprised the lethal quartet of Poo, Crono, Grind, and the enigmatic Seto Kaiba. Their opponents, SUFFER from the Xcite Brand, boasted a lineup featuring the menacing Troy, the relentless Razorblade, the formidable Snakebite, and the cunning Viper. The atmosphere was charged with hostility as these two factions clashed in a visceral battle for supremacy. The World Team Rings, symbolic of dominance, hung in the balance, along with the two points on the line. Strikes echoed, and the canvas bore witness to a symphony of grapples and high-impact maneuvers. The Xcite Brand's SUFFER fought tooth and nail against the Havok Brand's Metal Rush, creating a spectacle of chaos and mayhem. Both teams were skirting the rules or out right breaking them when given the opportunity. Truly a match of bad guys vs. badder guys. In a pivotal moment that would determine the fate of the Rings, Seto Kaiba clocked Viper with a roll of quarters and tagged in Grind, the high-flying maverick of Metal Rush, who flipped over the ropes with precision. With remarkable agility on rollerblades, he executed a Rolling SSP and pinned the newest member of SUFFER for the W. 
Winners: Poo(c)<Havok>/Crono(c)<Havok>/Grind(c)<Havok>[o]/Seto Kaiba(c)<Havok>[2] via Rolling SSP on Viper -> Pin -> 2pts.

Larry Grim: Wow! I know we technically needed SUFFER to win that one, but I wasn't really rooting for either of them. It was just fun to see them kick lumps out of each other. The Rings remain with Havo- well Metal Rush really. 

Apple Kid: Viper is shouting at the ref, blaming this and that for his loss, and he somewhat has a point, but The Auditor and Preacher Ra don't look too thrilled by his performance. He made sure SUFFER would join the League and not the Eagleland Gladiators, but that was his entry ticket in. He's going to have to bring the pain if he wants to keep on their good side, or he's liable to get hurt. 

Larry Grim: Well said Apple friend! We know that up next, we're going to see Seiya Kou vs. "BelleroFAKE" but first, we have THIS! 

Backstage

Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! Ol' Good News Gary has been nominated for Top Hat of the Year by Top Hats Magazine! Yes, magazines still exist, and yes this is a real one! It's a great day for those who love Good News! Haha! I'm NOT joined by my Tidal Chief right now, because the CXJ Champion is percolating for New Year Rising, and he'll bring it to a boil against that stupid Blue Rains and that super stupid Bad News Barry! His Top Hat didn't GET nominated! HAHA! I'm joined by Takumi Inui though, the Crimson Smasher, who returned from Edo to join the Mega Power Stars in the E1 Team League! Is that all that brought you back Takumi? 

Takumi Inui: Not exactly. I came back because the laundry is still not white. 

Good News Gary: What?

Takumi Inui: People need dreams. My dream is to see everyone happy…except for the people opposing me that is. They won't be too happy I'm back. 

Good News Gary: A couple years back, Tack Angel held five titles at once, but I understand you also held a similar distinction in Edo. They called you the "Faiz Time Champion" is that right? 

Takumi Faiz: That's right, and I'm just getting started, so make sure to open your eyes for the Faiz. 

Good News Gary: Well, that was Takumi Inui everyone. Remember, he once had a match of the year where he both stopped AND started Dragon Shiryu's heart with a punch. That's wild right? Well I- what's this? I'm being handed something. What? WHAT?! N-NO! NO! That can't be r-r-right. Ladies and gentlemen…I've just been informed that….Rains is dead? *sniff sniff* My sweet drizzle no. He passed away…in an unfortunate spaghetti accident?! I just…I just can't! My heart goes out to all the Rains fans in the Floodline! I just can't believe that he's gone! *sniff sniff* I just can't-

Ninten and Ana: SURPRISE! 

Good News Gary: AHHH!!!

Ninten and Ana: WE FOOLED YOU! 

Ninten: Rains is FINE! We just played a little prank to celebrate the fact that you WON the Top Hat of the Year Award! Isn't that fun?! 

Good News Gary: AH! AAAH! AH! 

Ninten: Gary? 

Ana: He's about to lose it. 

Good News Gary: *sobbing* AAAHHH! EEEUUHEEE! I'M IN SHOCK OR SOMETHING! IT'S NOT OK! I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

Gary ran off ugly crying, with Ninten in hot pursuit to apologize. Gary fell to the floor and threw up as Ninten tried to give him his award. The camera quickly cut back to Ana. 

Ana: Uh…hey…I'm back by the way….hello. I told him that wasn't going work out.

2. Singles: Seiya Kou vs. "Bellerophon" 
-The electrifying clash between Seiya Kou and Cadmus, still masquerading under the guise of his sister Bellerophon, unfolded next. Seiya Kou, determined and focused, stepped into the ring with a mission. His opponent, the deceptive Cadmus, continued to use his sister's name, Bellerophon, as a ruse. The dynamics of the match were further complicated by the interference of Mamoru Chiba, who sought to aid Cadmus in securing an underhanded victory. As the match progressed, Seiya showcased his prowess with a combination of speed, agility, and raw power. The resilient contender remained undeterred by Mamoru's interference, maintaining his focus on the task at hand. Usagi Tsukino, not one to tolerate injustice, stormed down to ringside. In a moment of defiance, she delivered a resounding slap to Mamoru, creating a distraction that worked in Seiya's favor. Seizing the opportunity, Seiya executed the Star Driver 9X. The move, a kneeling double underhook sheerdrop powerbomb, found its mark on Cadmus, incapacitating him on the canvas. 1-2-3! A win for the "Star Fighter" Seiya Kou! 
Winners: Seiya Kou via Star Driver 9X (Kneeling double underhook sheerdrop powerbomb) -> Pin 

Larry Grim: Seiya Kou with the win! The Sensations and their boy Seiya are striking back with a vengeance against 3Queens! 

Apple Kid: Yes they are, and I just want to say that I didn't find the Rains joke funny! Good News Gary is a fragile man. You gotta protect that pinky waving man! He's a national treasure! 

Larry Grim: I mean I guess Ninten's heart was in the right place? Happy to see Ana again! She's trying to track down Cadmus, yep, I believe she just did.

Backstage

Ana: Cadmus wait! Stop! 

"Bellerophon": That's NOT my name! Stop dead naming me! This is NOT how this is supposed to be working! 

Ana: I don't understand! What is Tack Angel's nemesis doing dressing up as and wrestling women! 

"Bellerophon": I AM a woman! That's how I see myself, so you have to accept that! How DARE President Swift put me in an intergender match! Doesn't he know my journey?! The process of becoming the TRUE me?!

Ana: *touching her fingers to her temple* You got your mind broken after being thwarted by Tack, and spent your time with a dominatrix that conditioned you into believing you're a woman like that one did to the Wachowski Brothers. 

"Bellerophon" What?! 

Ana: Oh! I'm sorry! That's muscle memory! I'm not supposed to read minds anymore! I gonna get a call from Blue Rose for tha- forget I said that part. Dang it, I can't mind wipe you either. 

"Bellerophon": What are you talking about?! 

Ana: Forget it! 

Mamoru Chiba: You know what I won't forget? I won't forget the betrayal by the meatball head! After all I did for that ungrateful BRAT! Erica is a true Queen who surrounds herself with royalty, and NEWS FLASH USAGI, I'm Sailor Earth, and after all you've done to besmirch me, I want to personally kick your butt back to the moon, with that gender bent whack job Seiya Kou! So what if I slept with your best friend! So what if I used my time in College as an excuse to sow my wild oats, and by that I mean pick up more middle schoolers! You were privileged to have me. PRIVILEGED! 

Ana: …Uh…back to the ring?

3. CXJ 4-Way: Johnny Starbound vs. Rey Dorado vs. Tony Wonder vs. Brother Tiburon
-In the CXJ Division 4-Way match, the squared circle became a battleground for four dynamic competitors—Johnny Starbound, Rey Dorado, Tony Wonder, and Brother Tiburon...well not Tony Wonder so much. The opening moments saw a flurry of high-flying maneuvers, with Rey Dorado and Johnny Starbound dazzling the audience with their acrobatic prowess. Tony Wonder, known for...being Tony Wonder, absorbed punishment while plotting his strategic moves. Brother Tiburon, a force to be reckoned with, brought a mix of power and agility to the contest. As the match progressed, the dynamics shifted rapidly. Rey Dorado soared through the air with precision, executing breathtaking aerial assaults. Tony Wonder faced a relentless onslaught, experiencing a wrestling clinic at the hands of his opponents. Brother Tiburon, ever the powerhouse, used his strength to control the pace of the match. Johnny Starbound seized an opportunity to elevate himself and avoid toilet duty. He hurled Rey Dorado to the outside onto Tiburon, creating a path for his gravity-defying 450 Splash on the downed Tony Wonder. A victory for the cocky enemy to all other members of the CXJ Division. 
Winners: Johnny Starbound via 450 Splash on Tony Wonder -> Pin

Larry Grim: Starbound survives another test, and he's probably primed to legit get a title shot against the winner of the upcoming Rains vs. Blue Rains match. That's a match we're all dying to see I'm sure! Did anyone else expect the CXJ Championship to revolve around the Floodline? Don't lie! 

The Angel Express

Parked outside of the arena, Tack Angel watched all the action unfolding, while also using his ENN+ app to watch Cade Yaggis going to his ex-wife's house.

Tack Angel: I'm gonna punch that Cade kid in the weiner next I see him. 

Minako Aino: Tack! Tack! 

Tack Angel: Whoa! What is it? What's happening now?! 

Minako Aino: Why would you assume something is happening? 

Tack Angel: It's me! Something is ALWAYS happening! 

Minako Aino: You're fine! Everything is fine! I just wanted to show you something! Dungaree Danson is giving Makoto a haircut! 

Tack Angel: WHAAAAAT?!

Tack ran out of the bus and followed Minako to where Usagi, Ami, Rei, Christina, Magnum PT, and Sega Satnum Singh were standing. A curtain separated them from Danson cutting Makoto's hair. 

Tack Angel: NO! I'M TOO LATE! 

Magnum PT: No you're not Chief! You're right on time to see-

Tack Angel: SHUT YOUR MOUTH PT! JUST SHUT UP! I WANT TO STRANGLE YOU WITH YOUR OWN GREASY, STUPID MULLET AND I HATE MYSELF FOR THAT! IF SHE'S GOT A MULLET I'M GOING TO GO FERAL! GET READY SEGA SATURN SINGH, CAUSE WE'RE GONNA KILL-

Dungaree Danson removed the curtain to reveal a pixie tomboy cut for Makoto. 

Tack Angel: Duuuuuuuu-

Makoto Kino: *blush* Oh wow Tack! I didn't know you'd be here! I wanted to surprise you! Who told you what I was doing? 



Makoto Kino: I didn't want it to get in the way when I wrestle, and I'm trying to take it as seriously as I take cooking! I hope you like it. I-I-If you don't, it'll always grow ba-

Tack Angel: I love it. 

Makoto Kino: What?

Tack Angel: I love it! I think it looks incredible! I'm so happy it's not a mullet! 

Magnum PT: Yeah, he was over here making all kinds of jokes about going feral and stuff. Haha! You're a kidder Tack, and that's why we like ya! 

Tack Angel: Haha, yeah I was totally kidding, but don't touch me though. Makoto, you look great, and I believe in you. 

Christina Angel: Dad, I-

Tack Angel: Daughter! 

Christina Angel: It was my suggestion so-

Tack Angel: Thank you daughter! Thank you for that! 

Usagi Tsukino: Christina really is helping this team become a well oiled machine! I mean that doesn't actually involve oil right? 

Rei Hino: Usagi. 

Tack Angel: I'm just so happy about this! I'm waiting for Double G to ruin it! 

Magnum PT: He's not here Chief. He's moving Tracy into his-

Tack Angel: Who cares WHAT he's doing! The point is, he's not here! 

Magnum PT: You kidder! 

Tack Angel: Yeah! Kidding! Whatever! I just want to truly capture how beautiful you are right now Makoto. 

Makoto Kino: Oh wow. *blush* 

?: Want me to take a picture for you?

Tack Angel: Huh? Oh hey, it's the new HUMAN photographer for EBW! Don't get me wrong, I like the Lakitu dudes, but they throw spiny turtles at me from time to time. I'd love a picture. Makoto?

Makoto Kino: Oh absolutely!

The two took a picture before Tack wished Makoto, Christina, and Usagi well in their match. The new photographer handed the picture to Tack. 

Tack Angel: That's a keeper! 

?: I make it my business to properly document things as best I can. 

Tack Angel: Well you did great work. You look familiar. Have I seen you before? 

?: I've been to a few shows. 

Tack Angel: Oh alright. I probably saw you, but my memory stinks, so I'll have to apologize when I say I don't know your name. You are?

?: Grimoire sir. 

Tack Angel: Grimoire? Just Grimoire?

Grimoire: That's right. 

Tack Angel: Is that like an artistic choice. 

Grimoire: Perhaps an autistic choice. 

Tack Angel: Haha! You're funny. This one's funny. See ya around. 

Grimoire: Yeah, you just might.

Tack Angel: What a great da-

Suddenly, someone threw a soda cup at Tack.

Tack Angel: HEY! WHO DID THAT?! 

Pat Mustard: ME! PAT MUSTARD! YOUR #1 UN-FAN! BOOO THIS TACK! 

Tack Angel: Grrrr Pat Mustard! 

4. 6-Woman Tag: Christina Angel/Usagi Tsukino/Makoto Kino vs. Erica/Gianna Rambaldi/Hilda Iceheart
-Up next, a 6-Woman tag team match continued the feud between the Sailor Sensations with Christina Angel, and 3Queens, the throne on which Erica has placed herself back on top. The champions, known for employing questionable tactics, had their "maid" Cadmus and "Prince" Mamoru Chiba at ringside, ready to tip the scales in their favor, and neither looked particularly happy after the defeat suffered earlier in the night. Christina Angel, the experience veteran, fueled by her determination, threw herself into the fray, disrupting the interference attempts by Cadmus and Chiba. This allowed the team of challengers to gain momentum. Makoto Kino showcased her immense strength and athleticism by hoisting Hilda Iceheart into the air for the Super Supreme Thunder Bomb. The impact echoed through the arena as Makoto covered Iceheart for the three-count. A big win for Makoto, Usagi, and Christina, as Tack's oldest daughter proved that not only is she skilled in the ring, but she's also a crafty veteran, who knew just want to do in a pinch. 
Winners: Christina Angel/Usagi Tsukino/Makoto Kino[o] via Super Supreme Thunder Bomb on Hilda Iceheart -> Pin 

Larry Grim: A win for Christina Angel and the Sailor Sensations. They truly ARE Sensational too. It fits. 

Apple Kid: Yeah, but Minako is the best one. I mean she's like Usagi…but with a dude cat! I swear I've heard it talk too. 

Larry Grim: Not the weirdest thing in the world is it? Please keep in mind you've spent years talking with a LITERAL SKELETON MAN and it puts things into perspective. 

Apple Kid: Right. 

Larry Grim: Well folks, it's crunch time! It's the MAIN EVENT, where the Mega Power Stars are going to lock up with Havok's invaders, Samurai Ifrit. With Metal Rush still in the building, Zyro-K is going to have to watch his back, as they have made it clear that they want to wipe out the rival faction on route to conquering the Havok Brand. That would be great for us if it stopped there if I'm being honest. Brand war and all. 

Apple Kid: Brand war yeah.

Backstage

Bashin Dan stood with his back against the wall. His eyes were closed as he tilted his head towards the ceiling. On his phone a scene was playing, the one where Jammer told him his reasons for forming Dan Club Silver. What he said was weighing heavily on his mind, as Rama Raju approached him. 

Rama Raju: My friend, does something trouble you? 

Bashin Dan: Just have a lot to think about. 

Rama Raju: I understand. The complexities of friendship are not lost on me. Your friend Jammer is a good man, doing what he feels is right. He's a colorful character to be sure, and he needs his room to grow…and so do you. 

Bashin Dan: Hmm?

Rama Raju: Jammer wants you to reclaim this EBW Championship. He wants you to be ACE again. People love you Dan, and they should. You've been a cornerstone and foundation of this company for a few years now. You are synonymous with EBW now, as much as you are that card game. 

Bashin Dan: …I still need a rematch…I can't believe you beat me. 

Rama Raju: I'm straight forward. Like a fire, I burn away obstacles, and I blaze a path in that ring. That's what I'm here for. That being said, it would be an honor to face you Dan. It's something to think about when the E1 Team League is all over. We'll see what happens….after we win it. 

Bashin Dan: Heh…you make a good point. I've always got more to learn. Let's do this.

5. E1 Team League: Rama Raju/Bashin Dan/Jaden Yuki/Takumi Inui[2] vs. Zyro Kurogane<Havok>/Mike Thunder<Havok>/Isiah Muscle<Havok>/Ilya Fedorovich<Havok>[0]
-Main event time, in a pivotal contest within the E1 Team League Tournament, the Mega Power Stars collided with Samurai Ifrit in an electrifying 8-Man Tag Match. The Mega Power Stars, comprising EBW Champion Rama Raju, Bashin Dan, Takumi Inui, and Jaden Yuki, faced off against the formidable squad of Samurai Ifrit from Havok Brand. Zyro Kurogane, Mike Thunder, Isiah Muscle, and EBW Television Champion Ilya Fedorovich came in to a mixed reaction, as people are starting to side more and more with Zyro-K BEY BEEEY! The Mega Power Stars, known for their unity and collective strength, aimed to overcome the challenges presented by the powerful members of Samurai Ifrit. As the match unfolded, it became apparent that the cohesiveness of the Mega Power Stars was a defining factor. Rama Raju, the EBW Champion, exhibited his exceptional skill and determination in the ring. The teamwork among the Mega Power Stars allowed them to isolate Isiah Muscle. Mike was taken off his game by the appearance of Amigo in the crowd, while Zyro-K was trading blows with the returning Takumi Inui. Isiah had only Ilya to tag, but the newest member of Samurai Ifrit quickly dropped down from ringside and walked away. Rama Raju executed his signature move, the Burning Arrow, on Isiah Muscle. The impact reverberated through the ring as Raju capitalized on the opportunity to secure the victory for his team. The Mega Power Stars celebrated their hard-fought triumph, gaining valuable points in the tournament. The aftermath left questions lingering about the internal dynamics of Samurai Ifrit and the implications for their future performances in the league.
Winners: Rama Raju[o]/Bashin Dan/Jaden Yuki/Takumi Inui[2] via Burning Arrow on Isiah Muscle -> Pin -> 2pts. 

Apple Kid: MEGA POWER STARS WITH THE WIN! 

Larry Grim: Amigo from Metal Rush got Mike's attention, and Ilya Fedorovich walked out on his new stable! Why would he do that? I'd say find out next week, but Havok IS coming up, so I guess check THAT out only because Xcite will be there! New Year Rising is almost here Goodnight!

Prosperity Church - Saturn City

In front of an ornate church in Saturn City, a limo pulled up, and out stepped Tracy Angel-Garrett, sporting a deep tan, tall hair, and a bright white smile. 

Tracy Angel-Garrett: Hallelujah, what a glorious day it is on HIS wonderful Earth, yes it is. I've learned so much in the last few weeks, about what life is all about, and I can't wait to return to EBW and show all my sisters! Tracy is coming back, and she's bringing the holiness and righteousness of her God with her, yes she is! I mean I need to be humble about this. I need to be meek. No more will I claim to be far and away the greatest. I can only claim to be second best, to the one who created us all. That's the best I can do, and that's just fine with me! I can not wait to see you all again really really soon. *teeth glisten*

-

Dok Hayes: Weeeell, it's Dok Hayes here, and that was Tracy Angel-Garrett, giving me a run for my money on the time in the tanning booth, but  I've got some breaking news for ya now EBW fans! A bidding war has been going on all day, regarding the signing of a free agent that could really shift the balance. People have been talking all day about this returning star! Not only is he a hot young talent, but he's also the executive of his own company, much like Seto Kaiba. EBW is quickly becoming a place where the men with money are finding out that life is more than just dollars and cents…it's Yen too, but it's ALSO about the action in the ring! Now who is this mystery man? It's none other than the CEO of Zodiac Enterprises! Nicholas Gyllene, but you knew him better as-

-

Nicholas Gyllene: Nikky "The Golden"...that's what you called me.

The camera cut to the blonde, well dressed Nicholas Gyllene sitting at his desk in a white and gold office overlooking Saturn City. He had a thoughtful gaze as he sipped his tea and began speaking to the people. 

Nicholas Gyllene: Back then, I must admit I was quite the brat. I tried to take a "harsh approach" when it came to dominance, and along the way I developed an unsavory reputation did I not? A large possibility is that I went too hard, too fast. Like a paper mache flame thrower, I burned out while burning brightest. That's all in the past. I was a child at the time, caught up in a struggle with the likes of Firebrand X and the late Camilo Ortega. The main event of Victory Explosion 7. I was the youngest to ever main event the show. In the years since that time I have honed my abilities. I took up Judo, throwing my family's vast resources behind the best coaches and facilities. Yes, I am an important CEO these days, but I never stopped thinking about returning to EBW and finishing what I started. It will be a delight to show you the new and improved Nicholas Gyllene…..and cut! Is the camera off? THIS TEA IS TOO HOT! HOW DARE YOU! I SAID LUKE WARM! LUKE WARM! These lips are far too valuable to burn! *sigh* That was far too much humility for my liking! Oh, you're shaking? You think I'm terrifying! The only thing that's terrifying is MY OWN TALENT! They need to know how incredible I have become! I am, was, and always will be….GOLDEN! NYEHEHEHEHE! WHOA!

-

Dok Hayes: He uh…fell back out of his chair at the last second there. He obviously didn't know the Lakitu was still recording. Um…despite that ending there, the bidding war is on, because Nicholas Gyllene IS an accomplished Judoka, which I'm told means he's good at throwing people around. I wouldn't know personally, I was busy picking out new floral patterns for my vest collection. His reputation is one of an eccentric CEO, with that unnerving laugh echoing the halls of his building. When we last saw Nicholas AS Nikky the Golden, he had brought together masked "Zodiac Warriors" and built himself a tower where he claimed to be King, so that whole "letting it go to his head" thing was an understatement. What kind of "Nikky" will we be getting in EBW, and which brand? Stay tuned to find out!

Tommy Dukes: Welcome to Howler's Gymnasium in South Town, where they love to fight on…whatever night this is! 

Nerma: It's Havok night, and the E1 Team League Continues on the final show before New Year Rising 2024! The stage is set for an epic showdown between World Champion Trevor Mach and Metal Rush leader Ness! The showdown we've all been waiting for, ever since Metal Rush first hit the scene to declare war against the Renegades. 

Tommy Dukes: That whole show is stacked, but we're not doing too shabby tonight either! We're kicking things off with Christy Angel vs. Metal Rush's hired mercenary Valarie Dorado! The power of youth versus the muscle with legacy and experience! Let's take it to the ring!


EBW: Havok[E1 Team League]
Howler's Gymnasium, Southtown
ENT

1. Lady Renegades Singles: Christy Angel vs. Val Dorado 
-In the opener, Christy Angel found herself pitted against the seasoned mercenary, Valarie Dorado of Metal Rush. Valarie, known for her ruthless tactics and no-nonsense approach, immediately took control of the match. The Metal Rush enforcer targeted Christy's limbs, employing a series of calculated submission holds to wear down her opponent. With a methodical approach, Valarie aimed to exploit any weakness in Christy's defenses. However, Christy Angel, displaying the resilience and determination reminiscent of her father, Tack, refused to be subdued easily. Despite the relentless onslaught from Dorado, Christy showcased her craftiness and resourcefulness in the ring. The ebb and flow of the match saw moments of dominance from both competitors. Alison Chains, the drug-addled ally of Christy, drew Valarie's attention away, creating the opening Christy needed. Seizing the moment, Christy executed a quick and effective roll-up, capitalizing on Valarie's momentary lapse in focus. The referee's hand slapped the mat for the three-count, declaring Christy Angel the unexpected victor. 
Winner: Christy Angel via Roll Up -> Pin 

Nerma: Christy with the win!? Wow! The most devastating move in Colby Road's old promotion, the dreaded Roll Up, sealed the deal! Outstanding work from the youngest Angel daughter. The true diamond in the rough in my opinion. I mean the other one is a trailblazing pioneer….but this one is ours! She's a Renegade! 

Tommy Dukes: Our Lady Renegades are going to step up and defend Southtown up next against a formidable force from the Xcite Brand. The Sunset Riders are in the saddle again against Hilda Iceheart and Gianna Rambaldi of 3Queens. The EBW Women's Tag Team Championships are not on the line, but the fate of Southtown most certainly is. Let's once again take it to the ring! 

2. Sengoku Rules ⅔ Falls Lady Renegades Tag: Wendy Mustang/Lainey Strong vs. Gianna Rambaldi<Xcite>/Hilda Iceheart<Xcite>  
-In a fierce Sengoku Rules ⅔ Falls Lady Renegades Tag Team match, the Sunset Riders, Wendy Mustang and Lainey Strong, clashed with the invaders from the Xcite Brand, Gianna Rambaldi and Hilda Iceheart of 3Queens. While Rambaldi and Iceheart's EBW Women's Tag Team Championships weren't at stake, the destiny of South Town hung in the balance, as the victorious team would decide who would run shows in the Howler's Arena. The opening salvo of the match saw Lainey Strong making a powerful statement for the Sunset Riders. With incredible teamwork, Wendy and Lainey executed a perfectly synchronized Double Clothesline, taking down Gianna Rambaldi. The referee counted the pinfall, giving the Sunset Riders the lead and control over the fate of Southtown. Determined to turn the tide, Gianna Rambaldi rallied back in the second fall. Demonstrating her grappling prowess, she locked in a relentless Rear Naked Choke on Lainey Strong. The submission was executed with such precision and force that the referee had no choice but to call for the bell, evening the score and setting the stage for a decisive final fall. As the intensity reached its peak, Wendy Mustang unleashed her arsenal of high-impact maneuvers. In a thrilling sequence, she managed to connect with her signature Front Flip Lariat on the Ice Queen Hilda. The referee's hand slapped the mat for the final time, securing the 1-2-3 and clinching victory for the Sunset Riders.
-Wendy Mustang/Lainey Strong[o] beat Gianna Rambaldi<Xcite>[x]/Hilda Iceheart<Xcite> via Double Flying Clothesline -> Pin 
-Gianna Rambaldi<Xcite>[o]/Hilda Iceheart<Xcite> beat Wendy Mustang/Lainey Strong[x] via Rear Naked Choke -> Referee Stoppage
-Wendy Mustang[o]/Lainey Strong beat Gianna Rambaldi<Xcite>[o]/Hilda Iceheart<Xcite>[x] via Front Flip Lariat -> Pin
Winners: Wendy Mustang/Lainey Strong[2-1] -> City Defense! 

Nerma: Yeah baby! That's a W for the Sunset Riders, and Southtown remains with the Renegades! This is Renegade Country, I'd be distraught if we lost this one. 

Tommy Dukes: And that would probably be bad for me…in the bedroom. 

Nerma: Mentioning that on national television is just as bad if not worse.

Tommy Dukes: Aw cranberries! 

Nerma: That's right, cranberries! The E1 Team League continues next, as Dan Club Silver and Xcite's The Story clash in a battle of two teams with zero points. One of them will walk out with points, but which team is it gonna be? Let's find out….AFTER THIS!

Zyro Kurogane, Mike Thunder, and Isiah Muscle were in the back with steel pipes looking for Ilya Fedorovich. They roamed the halls, clanging the pipes and kicking open doors trying to find him. 

Zyro Kurogane: Where you at Ilya?! Huh? You want to play games? I love games! I'm GREAT at games! Zyro-K is gonna let this pipe RIP right across your head! Ilya! I-

Seto Kaiba: Hehe. You just can't keep a fifth member to save your lives huh? 

Zyro Kurogane: Oh here we go. Another one on my list. 

Seto Kaiba: You knew Mr. VIP, that I only work with winners, and you didn't seem like a sure bet anymore. I have the money, and Metal Rush has the power and influence. It's a match made for the holder of the Blue Eyes White Dragon. 

Zyro Kurogane: I could tell you where to stick that card Kaiba! 

Seto Kaiba: I could say the same for your previous beyblade. You know, for saying you're made of Samurai Steel, you certainly bend when enough pressure is applied. I wonder what it's going to take to make you break. I want to find out. So do they.

Zyro Kurogane: Huh?

Mike Thunder: Oh I know where this is go-

The trio were suddenly attacked by Grind, Amigo, and Generator. Amigo tossed Mike into a room and barricaded the door, while he applied the Ankle Lock to Isiah. Grind and Generator held Zyro down as Seto approached him. 

Seto Kaiba: The truth is, we don't know where Ilya is. We wanted to recruit him, but he's not with us. He's not with you either. You're one man down in the E1 Team League, you're one man down when you really need one right now. Oh, but good news, here comes Renegade Security! How long are they going to keep you safe though? Zyro-K? Bey-bey? Hahaha!

3. E1 Team League Jammer/Benjamin/Sal Paradise/Boomtown[0] vs. Colby Roads<Xcite>/CP Munk<Xcite>/LG Rod<Xcite>/Randy no Kachi<Xcite>[0]
-In a crucial E1 Team League encounter, the formidable team of Jammer, Benjamin, Sal Paradise, and Boomtown from Dan Club Silver faced off against the spirited quartet of Colby Roads, CP Munk, LG Rod, and Randy no Kachi of The Story. With both teams vying to stay in contention, every move and strategy played a pivotal role in determining the outcome. The match unfolded with a chaotic mix of technical prowess and hard-hitting brawling. Each competitor sought to gain an advantage for their team, knowing that the stakes were high in this pivotal contest. As the action intensified, Benji found himself in a prime position to make a significant impact. Seizing the moment, he executed a thunderous Spear on LG Rod, driving him into the canvas with incredible force. The referee swiftly counted the pinfall, and the arena erupted in cheers as Benjamin secured the victory for the Slam Jam Fam. The hard-fought win not only earned them the admiration of the fans but also kept Dan Club Silver in the running for valuable points in the E1 Team League.
Winners: Jammer/Benjamin[o]/Sal Paradise/Boomtown via Spear on LG Rod -> Pin -> 2pts! 

Tommy Dukes: Benji with the Spear, and the Mystic Bout Machine secured the win and the pointes for Dan Club Silver! The Slam Jam Fam is starting to ramp up in the land of the Renegades! 

Nerma: Now we have a very special interview next. This one concerns Havok Renegade Fighter Daron. Daron has a lot of pent up feelings, and he wants to tell us all about it. This is sure to be an explosive and historic interview. Let's take it to Fighter Daron!

-

Fighter Daron: *muted dialogue*

-

Nerma: I'm sorry, it seems like he was in a sealed room, and all the heat and oxygen proceeded to leave it, and without those important things, sound can't be heard….OH WELL! Maybe next time.

Backstage

Trevor was kneeing a heavy bag held by Cade Yaggis as they talked. 

Trevor Mach: And that's how I found out that if you see your young son comes running into the other room with a step stool…shenanigans are afoot. That boy was up to all sorts. Get ready for it. 

Cade Yaggis: I'm not really looking to have a kid just-OOF! 

Trevor Mach: I meant the knee brah. 

Cade Yaggis: Right…of course. *cough cough* 

Trevor Mach: So as I was saying earlier, we got this thing in Celtland called "The Rot", and it's like a Neverending Story villain. If you're out past a certain hour it comes out like a mist and it'll eat your face off. 

Cade Yaggis: …You were saying that earlier?

Trevor Mach: Wasn't I?

Cade Yaggis: I think I would remember that conversation! 

Trevor Mach: Huh. 

Cade Yaggis: It's really crazy how Celtland is stuck in the dark ages. 

Trevor Mach: Yeah man, they got the rot, the rats, the slippering slopes. Lovely vistas though…gotta love the vistas. I-

As they spoke, The Auditor and Viper walked by. Viper bumped shoulders with Trevor as they passed by. 

Trevor Mach: Excuse me? Bumping shoulders with the champ? You don't meet the height requirement Viper. 

Viper: Champ huh? I saw the champ get beat by Ishihiro Tomo just the other day. 

Trevor Mach: And for some reason Tomo-kun didn't want to take over my match at New Year Rising while I went on vacation, so here we are. Ness and his boys had their fun with that one, but I'd love to see what tricks SUFFER has up their sleeves. You don't have any sleeves though…you're wearing a leotard. 

Cade Yaggis: Sweet headband dude. 

Viper: Kid, you don't want to get into this. 

Cade Yaggis: Oh I do…I really do. They say you're the Gladiator hothead, but I've got the hair trigger. Try me. 

Trevor Mach: Pick your poison Viper. Either one of us is going to hurt ya! 

The Auditor: An odd attitude for a man of God. 

Trevor Mach: We're gladiators in the colosseum. This is our sport. This is what we do. You'll notice I'm giving him the option to walk away. We're not moving though. 

The Auditor: The world changed, people have changed, circumstances have changed, but you haven't. You're still a blood thirsty wolf. 

Trevor Mach: Hey, you want to come to my Bible Study you're more than welcome, but we're on the clock pal, and the profession is violence! 

The Auditor: Hmm…interesting. You'll never stop being at war with yourself will you? What about you Yaggis? Any of that old spark left that I once found so intriguing? 

Cade Yaggis: Do I know you? 

The Auditor: Ah yes, that's not how it happened anymore.

Cade Yaggis: What? 

Trevor Mach: Wait…you mean you-

The Auditor: I never forgot Mr. Mach. Your audit was always one of my favorites, and a memory like that I shall cherish forever. Come now Viper, we must get a hold of Troy's senses before tonight's main spectacle begins. 

Viper: …You're both lucky. 

Trevor Mach: I don't feel lucky. You're still here. 

Viper: …

Trevor Mach: Ya know, he was always one of my favorite Gladiators. 

Cade Yaggis: Really?

Trevor Mach: Yeah. He and Tower were the best combination. 

Cade Yaggis: Huh.

Gamer Girlz Room

Kid Havok looked stunned as Christy Angel walked in halfway through a conversation with Alison Chains. 

Christy Angel: So I won, and that means YOU have to use the MadKatz controller next ti-

Kid Havok: Hang on Christy! Alison is in the middle of the most incredible story. 

Christy Angel: Eh?

Alison Chains: Right, so I was tripping on shrooms, and I literally tripped into this chick who stumbled into a street sweeper which cut off her pinky toe. 

Christy Angel: What?! 

Alison Chains: Then after the ambulance left, I FOUND the toe! So I opened one of my empty pill bottles, put in the toe, filled it with ice, and ran towards the hospital. 

Christy Angel: You ran on foot?! 

Alison Chains: No, I ran to the bus! I told the driver "I got a toe here dude! Step on it!" 

Christy Angel: Wow! 

Alison Chains: Then, all of a sudden, this guy pulls out a GUN! I knew any delay was gonna cost this chick her pinky toe. So I got out of the seat and I started walking towards him. I was still hallucinating, and he turned into a cheeseburger I really wanted to bite ya know! He says "Where do you think you're going?!" and I said "I got a surprise for you Mayor McCheese", and I BIT INTO HIS NECK! 

Christy Angel: WHAT?! 

Alison Chains: As he was bleeding I KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD! Then everybody starts screaming, because the driver passed out! It was too much for him! The bus is OUT OF CONTROL! So I take him by the collar, and take him out of the seat, and now I'm driving the bus! Then the mugger comes too and he starts CHOKING ME, and I'm trying not to get off from that while driving the bus! 

Kid Havok: Get off from that? 

Alison Chains: So I'm fighting him with one hand, driving the bus with the other, holding the pinky toe bottle in my mouth, and I'm trying NOT to call him Daddy! I managed to open the door and kick him out at the next stop! 

Christy Angel: You kept making all the stops?! 

Alison Chains: Why wouldn't I? I'm a bus driver! 

Kid Havok: No you're not! 

Christy Angel: So what happened with the toe!?

Alison Chains: I'm happy to say the toe is in its rightful place at the back of the line! 

Kid Havok: You did ALL of that….for a pinky toe?

Alison Chains: The pinky is a very important appendage! You need the stabilization.

Christy Angel: Fine….I'll use the MadKatz controller. 

4. Singles: Hotlanta vs. Boomtown 
-Next up, Hotlanta and Boomtown squared off in a high-stakes encounter, each aiming to assert dominance and secure a pivotal victory following LoveBoom's surprise title win over Metal Rush. With the added element of their tag partners, Generator and Sal Paradise, stationed on the outside. Boomtown had just assisted his team in an E1 Team League victory, but that didn't mean Metal Rush would go easy on him. In fact, it was more like a shark smelling blood in the water. Hotlanta, armed with strength and experience, faced the explosive Boomtown, known for his impactful moves and formidable presence in the ring. Boomtown showcased his resilience and power, coming close to securing a surprising victory with his signature move, "Here Comes the Boom." The crowd held its breath as the referee's hand hovered above the mat for the potential three-count. However, Generator, ever the strategist, intervened by placing Hotlanta's foot on the ropes, breaking the pin and keeping the match alive. Boomtown, frustrated by the interference, directed his aggression toward Generator. Sal pushed Generator out of the way and quickly motioned for Boomtown to focus back in the ring. Boomtown attempted to take a swing at Generator, only to find himself turning directly into the clutches of Hotlanta. Seizing the opportunity, Hotlanta hit the Spinning Lanta Slam, as he pinned Boomtown for the W. 
Winner: Hotlanta via Spinning Lanta Slam -> Pin 

Tommy Dukes: Well the Slam Jam Fam got the points, but Metal Rush got the W in this next match. Still, it was impressive for the young Boomtown to go through a Team match, and then battle it out with the grizzled veteran Hotlanta. The World Tag Team Champion looked good in defeat, but Metal Rush got the last laugh. Up next is the main event, featuring Blood 4 Blood taking on SUFFER from Xcite. Big points are at stake here, so ONCE AGAIN, LET'S TAKE IT TO THE-

Nerma: Wait! 

Tommy Dukes: Eh?

Nerma: Before we get to that, in case you forgot, we have a HUGE main event coming this weekend at New Year Rising. Trevor Mach versus Ness! Ness ain't the talking type, but we had a sitdown interview between champ and challenger ahead of this big battle! Let's take a look! 

Tommy Dukes: That wasn't in my format. 

Nerma: Your monster energy drink is covering it. 

Tommy Dukes: Oh! Oops! 

Interview Set

Kid Havok: Kid Havok here, with the World Champion Trevor Mach, and the #1 Contender Ness, leader of Metal Rush. He's joined by Paula, to speak for him I guess? However, I'm curious why Trevor is flanked by his wife Tali Mach?

Tali Mach: A reunion of sorts. Heya Paula, how ya doing? 

Paula: …

Tali Mach: What's wrong? Your husband is the one that keeps his yap shut. 

Paula: Seeing you like that…

Tali Mach: What? In a wheelchair? I'm over it, it's time you get there too. Or are you pleased to see it? 

Paula: Seeing you like that doesn't please me in the slightest Tali. Nor am I pleased at what Ness has to do to your husband, but so be it. 

Trevor Mach: What do you think he's going to do Paula? What do you think I'M gonna do? You can read my mind right? What do you see? 

Paula: When I try to read your mind, I see things that don't make sense. The name "Azrael" comes to mind. I don't know WHAT you're thinking about, even in your subconscious, and that does concern me, however I'm not concerned about Ness's chances in the ring with you. 

Trevor Mach: Did you forget your history?

Paula: I know that you've spent years fighting wars in the ring Trevor, while Ness gave himself the proper time to rest, recover, get in peak physical shape, and study you. This whole thing was not a spur of the moment decision. This was a long time coming.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I guess I deserve for that time I helped save your son Will?

Paula: You put him in danger in the first place. You injected yourself into situations that were beyond you, and it hurt the people around you. Ness…he could save the day and save everyone in the process. You? Well, look at Tali. You didn't save her did you? 

Trevor Mach: Hey! You kee-

Tali Mach: Trevor didn't do this! I did it to myself! 

Paula: Yes…you….w00t…and one other, and I can see them Tali. I know who it was. You saw them, but you forgot. I can replay that last moment in my head before the crash. I can see it. You did do that, and it makes me sick, because you were supposed to be the benchmark. You were supposed to be the standard bearer. We left EBW in the hands of you two, and you drove it into disarray, not one, but twice now. I'm glad you're here for that example. The difference between the originals, and the cheap replacements. You get what you pay for. Well I'm the Women's World Champion again, and you never will be. Ness will soon be the World Champion again, and Trevor never will be. That's the plain and simple truth of the matter. Metal Rush is going to set things right. We're playing the long game, and we're just getting started. 

Trevor Mach: You're all talk so far Ness…which is ironic I know, but I haven't seen this mastermind yet. I haven't seen this overlord of Metal Rush. I've seen a man doing everything he can to keep his hands clean while everyone else gets dirty. You're going to have to get your hands dirty if you want this. You're going to be covered in my blood if you want to pry this championship from me. Try it Ness. Try it. 

Kid Havok: …So I didn't really need to be here…did I?

5. E1 Team League Trevor Mach/Subculture/Picky Minch/Cade Yaggis[2] vs. Razorblade<Xcite>/Snakebite<Xcite>/Troy<Xcite>/Viper<Xcite>[0]
-In a hard-hitting main event encounter within the E1 Team League, the formidable team of Trevor Mach, Cade Yaggis, Subculture, and Picky Minch from Blood 4 Blood faced off against the menacing quartet of Razorblade, Troy, Snakebite, and Viper of SUFFER. The match promised a fierce contest, with both teams aiming to assert dominance and secure crucial points in the league. From the opening bell, the ring became a battleground of intense action and calculated aggression. The members of SUFFER, known for their ruthless tactics, sought to inflict punishment on the shooters, looking to gain an early advantage. The ringside presence of The Auditor and Preacher Ra added an element of unpredictability, as they attempted to sway the match in favor of SUFFER. However, the members of B4B remained resilient, displaying their determination to overcome the odds. In the climax of the match, Cade Yaggis, known for his resilience and powerful moves, seized control. With unwavering focus, he executed the devastating Cadebreaker on Viper, leaving him incapacitated on the mat. The referee counted the pinfall, and the arena erupted in cheers as Cade Yaggis secured the victory for him and his "Blood Brothers".
Winners: Trevor Mach/Subculture/Picky Minch/Cade Yaggis[o] via Cadebreaker on Viper -> Pin -> 2pts! 

Tommy Dukes: Trigger Man gets the win for Blood 4 Blood! SUFFER remains without points, and it looks like Viper is the weak link. The former Glad wanted to really punish people in the ring, but he's the one getting his comeuppance. Folks, in just days we're going to have New Year Rising, and it will set the stage for the build to Victory Explosion. You're not going to want to miss it! Goodnight!

Darius Grouch's Office

Rufus Poochyfud kicked open the door as he celebrated with the World Champion. He played it like a guitar before setting it down on Grouch's desk. 

Darius Grouch: Your champ turning in the belt already?

Rufus Poochyfud: Hardly. I just wanted to have this on hand when I came to remind you that you asked for this. You brought it on. Hell, you encouraged it. I wanted to see your face when you realized that your bet isn't paying off. The mighty "Rumble" is failing. 

Darius Grouch: I never fail, and I never place a bad bet. "The Rumble" always goes for the guarantee, and if my choice isn't the guarantee, I ensure that it becomes the guarantee. 

Rufus Poochyfud: Right. People in EBW have no idea what they got themselves into with you, but I know. Old business associates with different closets, but similar skeletons. 

Darius Grouch: I don't pretend to wear a white hat. I'm willing to get my hands dirty to do what needs to be done. It's always been that way. Ruthlessness is required in business, even more than wrestling. I had a lot of dealings with you, but even more with your father, so that history is what is currently keeping you safe. It's also giving you an opportunity. If you can finish off the Renegades, and make them all submit to Metal Rush, then that will be the product I profit from. I'm not sentimental over which is superior. I just want you to settle once and for all which actually IS superior. Just remember Rufus…petty grudges have a way of biting people in the backside, so for your sake, I hope this Metal Rush movement is more than that. 

Rufus Poochyfud: Hahaha! Ya know, it takes a real SOB to know an SOB, and you sir, are an SOB.

Darius Grouch: *lights cigar* Tell me something I don't already know.



Mrs. Xtra: Hello EBW fans! The search for a missing Ted Pettentool continues, but in the meantime, I'm here to cover all the hype coming off of New Year Rising! Metal Rush and the Mega Power Stars fought to a Time Limit Draw! Erica narrowly survived the challenge by Makoto Kino! Ness is the World Champion once again after years away from holding the top prize! For Havok, it's a Metal Rush world, and the Renegades are living in it. For Xcite, The Story and SUFFER took harsh losses, and now the Mega Power Stars are primed to make another big move, but more on that later. First up, let's take a look at the current standings in the E1 Team League shall we? Yes, let's shall!



"Eclipse - Anthem" 

Mrs. Xtra: On the Xcite side of things, it's pretty one sided, with the Mega Power Stars sitting at the top of the ranking, HOWEVER the Weekend Wrecking Crew have some big matches this upcoming week. They can still clench the top spot or maintain the second, which will still get them into the next stage of the E1 Team League. The Story have been disjointed, and Viper has proven to be the weak link in the plans of pain for the SUFFER squad. On the Havok side it's a little more competitive. Metal Rush sits at the top with the points AND the World Team Championship Ring. They still control "The Storm" as a result. Blood 4 Blood is right behind them with four points, and Dan Club Silver could easily match them at second. Samurai Ifrit has suffered through the League so far, and now they are definitely down a man. Ilya Fedorovich has left the stable, and the Television Champion seems to be on his own at this moment, but what does that mean for Zyro-K and his crew? Mike Thunder was attacked by Generator and Hotlanta at New Year Rising, while Amigo put Isiah through the wringer, with an Ankle Lock that lead to a reverse decision.

Xcite Teams
1. Mega Power Stars[5]
2. Weekend Wrecking Crew[2] 
3. The Story[0]
- SUFFER[0]

Havok Teams
1. Metal Rush[5]
2. Blood 4 Blood[4]
3. Dan Club Silver[2]
4. Samurai Ifrit[0]

Mrs. Xtra: That brings us to the cards for this week, and they're ginormous if you ask me! Xcite is going back to Meridian Cube Garden in North Point, and the Renegades intend to invade! We'll see The Story take on the three man Samurai Ifrit. Yes, they're continuing one man short. Rhea Rampage is being sent to try and take North Point from Xcite, so Christina Angel will step in to defend the territory in a Sengoku Rules ⅔ Falls match. EBW Champion Rama Raju and Bashin Dan will challenge SUFFER in a rematch for the EBW Tag Team Championships. We will see a "Glorious Return" as Tracy comes back to take on Siren of the Eagleland Gladiators. The main event though….this is the draw people. This is what you're going to want to see. Havok's former World Champion Trevor Mach has absolutely zero time to dust himself off here, because Blood 4 Blood are coming to the Xcite brand to take on…the Weekend Wrecking Crew! The Bad Dudes EXPLODE! We all knew it was coming, and here it is. Blood 4 Blood against the Weekend Wrecking Crew. Don't miss this one folks!

Mrs. Xtra: After that, we have a Metal Rush homecoming, as Havok heads to Onett and the Iwata Memorial Arena. Another massive show that opens with the three man Samurai Ifrit take on Xcite's SUFFER in the Team League. Dragon Shiryu will take on Metal Rush's w00t, while the mysterious loner has personally challenged Ishiro Tomo to a fight. Of course Tomo-kun accepted the challenge. I keep saying keep your eyes on that Boz guy. He's on a winning streak since debuting. Dan Club Silver will take on the Weekend Wrecking Crew in the E1 Team League in the sem-main event, followed by a big main event. Paula will put the Women's World Championship on the line against Hope Mach, the woman who put her through a table at New Year Rising!

Of course, we have a little piece of business before all of that. We have to take a stop in….RUMBLE CITY!

The difference this year is that both brands will be battling it out in the same matches, and the winners can challenge whichever champion of whichever brand! You could see Xcite guys challenging for the World Championship! You could see Lady Renegades challenging for the EBW Women's Championship! Who knows WHAT is going to happen, when we make our way into RUMBLE CITY!

Gamer Girlz Room

The Gamer Girlz, Kid Havok, and Dem Girlz were all sitting in the gaming room, sipping their gaming juice and gaming it up. 

Alison Chains: Wow, this game is tough. RJ, you take the controller. I want to drink this delicious mango drink.

Kid Havok: It's NOT RJ, it's Kid Havok.

Alison Chains: Huh? Kids you hear that, it's the delicious sound of a mango drink opening up. Hear the fizz? Mmm, it's delicious. 

Kid Havok: What's with the mango drink hype? What are we doing here? 

Christy Angel: Alison, you want to tell everybody? You know, they say bring enough to share with the class, so why don't you tell everyone what's going on. 

Alison Chains: Alright alright alright! So a few months ago, myself, Jenny, and Jessy went all in on a business endeavor. We bought a mango farm. 

Kid Havok: What?!

Jessy James: Don't look at me like that. Wasn't my idea. A "good investment" he said. 

Kid Havok: He who?

Jenny James: Arliss Michaels. 

Kid Havok: Oh no. 

Alison Chains: Problem is, it's been raided by cartels, so we've been at war.

Kid Havok: At war?

Alison Chains: With cartels, yeah.

Kid Havok: Over a mango farm? Is that the drugs talking?

Jenny James: No, it's true. It's not a pretty picture. We've been at war with the cartels for the last six months. 

Alison Chains: We had to install turrets. We use drones and pour acid on people. 

Kid Havok: No way! 

Alison Chains: Haha…I'm only laughing because of the guy we tortured and killed. 

Jenny James: Haha! 

Jessy James: Oh yeah! 

Kid Havok: ….

Jessy James: Yeah get cut his belly open, cut his face off and wore it too on the video right?

Alison Chains: Of course. 

Jenny James: You have to understand, before you think we're monsters, this is just how business is done. 

Jessy James: Alison ate a cartel guy, just as a show of force. 

Jenny James: I wouldn't have been bothered if he'd eaten three guys honestly. They would have done it to us, if we hadn't done it to them.

Jessy James: We're just humble mango farmers, trying to live our lives here. They forced our hand. Self defense in all….37 cases of "murder". 

Kid Havok: Murder?! 

Alison Chains: It was JUST a rebuttal! That's how the judge saw it too! 

Jenny James: Well luckily he was also a mango farmer. 

Jessy James: Yep! He dropped the whole case! 

Kid Havok: …How much of that was true? 

Alison Chains: ….*sips mango drink*

Outside of Meridian Cube Garden

Dok Hayes: Weeell, we're here in North Point! The big city, and behind me is the legendary cube! The site of tonight's Xcite and the E1 Team Climax! We're here because the sparks might start flying right now! The Angel Express just pulled up at the same time as Blood 4 Blood's van. They're pouring out and walking right towards Tack and Geoff's squad! Tack Angel and Trevor Mach are staring down face to face! This could get intense! 

Trevor Mach: Yo. 

Tack Angel: Sup. 

Trevor Mach: Jupiter Champion huh?

Tack Angel: Yeah, that's right. 

Trevor Mach: Can I touch it?

Tack Angel: Absolutely not. 

Trevor Mach: Right.

Tack Angel: Where's Cade Yaggis. He and I need to have a talk. 

Trevor Mach: He went inside to get dibs on the good locker room.

Tack Angel: But that's my locker roo- 

Trevor Mach: Hehe. 

Tack Angel: *sigh* Sorry you lost the World Championship.

Trevor Mach: I'm sorry about it too. 

Tack Angel: Why are we so up close face to face like this? 

Trevor Mach: For the fans who can't hear what we're saying and think we're talking trash. 

Tack Angel: Oh right. Just let Cade know that I want to talk to him, and let me just say I'll see you in the main event. 

Trevor Mach: And let me just say that's it going to be an honor to be fighting against an absolute legend…..like my Pastor Geoff Garrett. 

Tack Angel: …I see what you did there. 


"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"



Larry Grim: Welcome to the Meridian Cube Garden! We're here for Xcite, the fall out from New Year Rising, and the E1 Team League! 

Apple Kid: And we're joined by an old friend tonight, who looks a little banged up! 

Makoto Kino: It's great to be back at the announce table! I missed you guys! 

Apple Kid: And we missed you! Glad to see you're back, but you're doing so well in the ring as well! 

Makoto Kino: Thank you Apple, that means a lot. I AM a little banged up like you said, or else I'd be right back in there challenging Erica again. She's using Usagi's past against not just her, but all of us, and it's disgusting. The Sailor Sensations and Christina are all committed to toppling the nega vibes of 3Queens. 

Larry Grim: Speaking of Christina Angel, she is in action tonight! She's going to defend Xcite against the invading Rhea Rampage! The fate of North Point is at stake! This is a big money place for us, and it's reserved for only the best events, so it needs to stay with Xcite Brand am I right? 

Apple Kid: You're a biased skeleton. 

Larry Grim: Well you're a biased apple.

Apple Kid: …True. 

Makoto Kino: Well I just want to see some fun action tonight! Victory Explosion is creeping up, but we'll soon be making a stop at RUMBLE CITY! Now that's something I can't wait to take part in. 

Larry Grim: A lot to look forward to coming up in EBW, that's for sure. We kick off tonight's show with an E1 Team League match! Colby Roads' wants to finish The Story, while Zyro-K and his 3-Man Samurai Ifrit might want to just make it through the night. They're coming in one man short, but they're going for it nonetheless. No guts no glory I guess? Here we go!

EBW: Xcite [E1 Team League]
Meridian Cube Garden, North Point
ENN

1. E1 Team League: Colby Roads/CP Munk/LG Rod/Randy no Kachi[0] vs. Zyro Kurogane<Havok>/Mike Thunder<Havok>/Isiah Muscle<Havok>[0]
-The opening match of the night was in the E1 Team League, and featured a clash between Havok's Samurai Ifrit and The Story. Samurai Ifrit came into this bout short handed. Representing Samurai Ifrit were Zyro Kurogane, Mike Thunder, and the resilient but injured Isiah Muscle. On the opposing side stood Colby Roads, the unrelenting CP Munk, the acrobatic LG Rod, and the powerhouse Randy no Kachi. The opening moments of the match set the tone for a contest rife with emotion and determination. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Samurai Ifrit fought valiantly, with Mike Thunder showcasing his flex and suplex strats and Isiah Muscle summoning reserves of strength from deep within to try and compete even after the Ankle Lock from Amigo at NYR. However, the odds seemed insurmountable as The Story's cohesive unit targeted Isiah's injured ankle, exploiting the weakness and diminishing Samurai Ifrit's chances of victory. Colby Roads and his teammates executed a relentless assault, working together to isolate their adversaries. Zyro Kurogane, with unwavering determination and the power of spite on his side, rallied his team. Zyro Kurogane unleashed his signature move, the "Let it Rip," targeting LG Rod. The devastating impact resonated throughout the arena as Zyro secured the pinfall for his team, giving them the points, and their first win in the E1 Team League, which they got without the need of Television Champion Ilya Fedorovich. 
Winners: Zyro Kurogane[o]/Mike Thunder/Isiah Muscle via Let it Rip on LG Rod -> Pin -> 2pts! 

Zyro Kurogane: Xcite, you're going to have to excuse me, cause I'm gonna take this time to address some Havok business, but you're more than welcome to listen in. In fact, it's a shame we have the brand split. No seriously, I'm not a fan of it. You want to know why? Cause that means that most weeks, only half of you get to see ZYRO-K BEY-BEEEEEY! Ilya Fedorovich, I don't know why you felt the need to bolt, but it was the worst decision of your life, because I'm coming for you. Metal Rush, haven't forgotten about any of you either. You can't keep me down, oh no! When I let it rip, I don't stop spinning baby! I'm here to fight, I'm here to clash, I'm here to win, and I'M HERE TO STAY! You know I keep a diary? It's called the Guinness Book of World Records, you should check it out sometime. Mike's here and he's not giving in to the sandwich psycho Amigo. Dude used to talk to lamps. He might have his head screwed on now, but Mike's going to take it right off! Isiah? This kid is tougher than tough! He's out here on one leg! We're one man short! We WON! I hear you cheering. I'm not sure you know what you're getting yourselves into. I'm not putting on a white hat. I'm gonna be me through and through, but if you want to stand me, be my guest! You're rolling with Samurai Ifrit, Mike Thunder, Isiah Muscle, and ZYRO-K BEY-BEEEEEEY! 

2. Sengoku Rules ⅔ Falls Women's Singles: Christina Angel vs. Rhea Rampage<Havok>
-In the heart of North Point, a fierce battle unfolded for territorial supremacy, with Christina Angel defending the city against the Havok invader, Rhea Rampage. The stakes were high, and the Sengoku Rules 2/3 Falls match promised a decisive outcome for control over the coveted territory. Christina Angel, known for her good attitude and respect for her opponents, extended a hand in a gesture of sportsmanship. However, Rhea Rampage, fueled by her determination and disdain for her adversary, rejected the gesture, setting the tone for a contest driven by animosity. Christina would make Rhea pay for her refusal, later hitting the Angel Wings. The impact echoed through the arena as Christina secured the first fall with a decisive pin, sending a powerful message of resilience and determination. The second fall saw Rhea Rampage succumbing to frustration and a loss of composure. Fueled by anger, she seized a chair and unleashed a brutal assault on Christina, disregarding the rules and earning a disqualification. The decision cost Rhea the fall but left Christina reeling from the chair shots.As the chaos unfolded, Dougie Mach, the voice of ginger reason, made his way to ringside, attempting to calm down the incensed Rhea Rampage.
-Christina Angel via Angel Wings -> Pin
-Christina Angel via DQ 
Winner: Christina Angel [2-0] -> City Defense! 

Larry Grim: Christina did it! 

Makoto Kino: I knew she could, but Rhea Rampage made it easy for her on that second fall. 

Apple Kid: Rhea seems to be livid about that first result. She's been locked in a feud with Heather Mach regarding "Doug Doug" over there, so that might have something to do with it? 

Larry Grim: Well, moving on from that we have a special surprise tonight for ENN fans who tune in for basketball. ENN Correspondent Lazlo Holmes, who normally covers the North Point Pointers games, has joined us tonight to cover the action! He's down at ringside now. How ya doing Lazlo? 

Lazlo Holmes: In a word? Confused. I'm very confused by all of this. It is NOT basketball. Just playin' though, I am having fun here at the wrestling game. Lots of fun wrestling going on. Lots of white dudes and chicks beating each other up. I don't get it. Nah, I'm just messing around. It's very different from working at the Pointers games. 

Apple Kid: Laz, what's your impression of the show so far?

Lazlo Holmes: Well the story so far is, a bunch of people who don't much care for each other apparently, are fighting in that square over there, and THAT is what they're supposed to be doing. Hey, as they say in wrestling…"let's do that wrestling".  I miss the Pointers. I'm just kidding. 

Larry Grim: Now Laz, I want to talk about the upcoming match. 

Lazlo Holmes: You should do that. 

Larry Grim: I meant with you Laz. Two of the very best and most popular talents in EBW are joining forces once again to vie for the EBW Tag Team Championships. 

Lazlo Holmes: …That's what's up. 

Larry Grim: From what you've seen of the two teams, who do you think is going to stand out in this upcoming bout?

Lazlo Holmes: Definitely the wrestlers Lenny. They're all working very hard, and one of them is definitely going to affect the outcome by doing that wrestling the best and winning it. 

Larry Grim: Here comes one the Mega Power Stars now! Why don't try and get a word with him! 

Lazlo Holmes: Uh…sure. I'm here with….

Bashin Dan: Bashin Dan. 

Lazlo Holmes: Yeah, my main man Denny here. How ya gonna do that wrestling thing tonight?

Bashin Dan: Well, Raju and I are going to keep the pressure up on SUFFER. You have to fight fire with fire, and we're going to play the best cards in our deck. 

Lazlo Holmes: Wait cards? Cards are in wrestling. Right, I knew that. 

Bashin Dan: It was metaphorical. 

Lazlo Holmes: I also knew that. Totally knew it. Back to you guys!

Larry Grim: Well, alright then! Let's do our thing and get back to the action! It's SUFFER defending against the Mega Power Stars, and it's happening RIGHT NOW!

3. EBW Tag Team Championships: Razorblade(c)/Snakebite(c) vs. Rama Raju/Bashin Dan 
-The action shifted to the EBW Tag Team Championships. The reigning champions, the formidable duo of Razorblade and Snakebite, collectively known as SUFFER, defended their coveted titles against the former champions, EBW Champion Rama Raju and Bashin Dan, in an eagerly anticipated rematch. The contest kicked off with high intensity, as Raju and Dan sought redemption and a chance to reclaim the tag team gold. The action inside the squared circle was fast-paced and relentless, with each team showcasing their unique blend of skills and chemistry. The former champions demonstrated a synchronicity that suggested they were determined to dethrone SUFFER and regain their status as the dominant force in the tag team division.
As the match progressed, the tide seemed to turn in favor of Raju and Dan. The duo worked cohesively, creating moments that hinted at the impending execution of their devastating maneuvers. Bashin Dan, known for his resilience and powerhouse offense, appeared poised to unleash the Brave Clash on Razorblade. The hot-headed Troy delivered a thunderous Big Boot to Bashin Dan, abruptly halting the match and causing a disqualification. While the Mega Power Stars secured a victory by disqualification, the EBW Tag Team Championships remained in the possession of SUFFER.
Winners: Rama Raju/Bashin Dan via DQ -> No Title Change! 

Larry Grim: Troy ruined the outcome! Raju and Dan were sharp and it looked like they were going to win back the belts, but SUFFER did not want to "suffer" more losses after what has happened so far in the E1 Team League. The Auditor seems to be the one who sent him out. It's creepy having that guy back. 

Makoto Kino: We have another return next. I saw her get out of a big limo earlier tonight. She was looking in great shape…if not a little overly tanned. I should probably keep my comments to myself on this one though. 

Apple Kid: How come? It's just Tack's ex-wiiiiiiiii got it. 

Larry Grim: It's the return of the multi-time World Champion! It's the return of the iconic EBW OG! The sister of Ness! The wife of Geoff Garrett! "The Glorious Return" is here! It's time for TRACY!




A bright light shone on the stage as Tracy Angel-Garrett made her return to the ring. 

4. "The Glorious Return" Women's Singles: Siren vs. Tracy
-"The Glorious Return" marked a significant chapter in the wrestling saga as Tracy Angel-Garrett, with a "REBORN" aura of confidence and a somewhat ambiguous attitude, stepped back into the ring to face the formidable Siren of the Eagleland Gladiators. Tracy, now sporting a radiant tan and a dazzling smile, received a mixed reaction from the perplexed audience who were unsure of the changes in her demeanor. The match unfolded with Tracy extending a seemingly friendly gesture—a handshake offered to Siren. However, as the bout progressed, Tracy's actions and in-ring tactics sparked doubt about the sincerity behind her gestures. The clash between Tracy and Siren showcased an intriguing dynamic, with the deaf powerhouse Siren proving to be a resilient opponent against the returning Tracy. Tracy's in-ring prowess and strategy became evident when she managed to outwork Siren, showcasing her wrestling skills and ring awareness. The turning point of the match came when Tracy executed a spectacular Crucifix Powerbomb on Siren, displaying both strength and technique. As Tracy went for the pin, she was seen by everyone BUT the ref discreetly pulling the tights to secure the victory. Post-match, the fans, still uncertain about Tracy's transformation and questionable tactics, voiced their disapproval. Tracy, seemingly undeterred by the crowd's reaction, extended a helping hand to Siren, and applauded her for the match. 
Winner: Tracy via Crucifix Powerbomb -> Pin 

Tracy: Hallelujah! Let's hear it for my wonderful opponent Siren. She can't hear, but God will give her healing if she prays for it hard enough, and gives her life to God, and she can do that by donating a sizable portion of her pay to the Prosperity Church, in which I am now a member! Not just a member, but a Pastor in training! Soon, you'll be able to hear from me weekly, and help finance my new mission for the Lord! Thank you and God bless! 

Larry Grim: A return for Tracy, but not as glorious as she was hyping it with that finish. 

Apple Kid: Her teeth…are they even real? That's unnaturally white! 

Makoto Kino: *sigh* I have to keep my mouth shut on this one. 

Larry Grim: Well don't go anywhere, because Tack is up next Makoto. It's time for our main event, and it's a dream match worth sticking around for! The Weekend Wrecking Crew will do battle against Havok's Blood 4 Blood in the E1 Team League! It's all on the line in the Meridian Cube Garden! HERE WE GO!

5. E1 Team League: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett/Magnum PT/Point Man[2] vs. Trevor Mach<Havok>/Cade Yaggis<Havok>/Subculture<Havok>/Picky Minch<Havok>[4] 
-Main event time, in an electrifying E1 Team League clash, the invading force of Blood 4 Blood collided with the formidable Weekend Wrecking Crew, setting the stage for an epic encounter that would see former World Champion Trevor Mach square off against his close friend, Tack Angel. The anticipation in the air was palpable as the Bad Dudes prepared to unleash their full intensity on one another. The match unfolded with a relentless back-and-forth between Blood 4 Blood and the Weekend Wrecking Crew. Each team showcased their unparalleled skill and chemistry, creating a dynamic and high-stakes showdown that kept the audience on the edge of their seats….and Tack really seemed to want to get in the ring with Cade Yaggis, but PT or Point Man were always tagged in when Cade was in. Close calls and near falls added to the suspense, as the wrestlers pushed themselves to the limit in pursuit of victory. The moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived when Trevor Mach and Tack Angel, the linchpins of their respective teams, locked up in the center of the ring. The clash between these two seasoned competitors fueled the intensity of the bout, and the audience witnessed a display of skill and familiarity that only best friends and rivals could deliver. As the action reached its climax, the unexpected factor in "Trigger" Cade Yaggis entered the scene. Seizing the opportunity, Cade managed to escape the clutches of Point Man's Cobra Clutch and, with precision and timing, delivered the devastating Cadebreaker. The move secured the pinfall, and Blood 4 Blood claimed the hard-fought victory over the Weekend Wrecking Crew.
Winners: Trevor Mach/Cade Yaggis[o]/Subculture/Picky Minch via Cadebreaker on Point Man -> Pin -> 2pts!

Larry Grim: Cade Yaggis scores the pin! Havok takes the win, and Blood 4 Blood receives two more points! Trevor and Tack are leading their teams in shaking hands, but Tack is holding Cade's hand and not letting it go. What's up with that? 

Makoto Kino: Uh oh, I'd better go calm him down! 

Apple Kid: Life is a roller coaster for the new EBW Jupiter Champion.

Larry Grim: That does it for us tonight folks, but the Crew aren't finished this week, as they invade Havok later in the week against the Slam Jam Fam! Goodnight everybody!

Ninten: Ninten here! We're uh…STILL not sure where Ted Pettentool is. Ana? You feeling anything? 

Ana: It's like he's been…"removed" from reality.

Ninten: …..Y-yeah? 

Ana: Or he's out of my range? 

Ninten: Oh. *sigh* You had be scared there for a mi-

Ana: My range is the entire planet. 

Ninten: Oh no. 

Ana: Unless a solar flare occurs. 

Ninten: Oh! 

Ana: No solar flares are occuring. 

Ninten: Oh. 

Doc Hayes: Weeeell, we have a massive week ahead for EBW, don't we guys?

Ninten: Oh yeah! Yeah totally! Rumble City week is here! We're heading to River City for Rumble City, but we're jumping the gun if you sleep on next week's Xcite or Havok, because we're bringing the fire, and I mean it, this is not hyperbole. Things really ramped up and got wild this week, and it's spilling over! For Xcite we ha-

Ana: *clears throat* Team League Standings.

Ninten: -ve some big matches, but to better understand those matches, we have to look at the standings for the E1 Team League! Hit it! Thanks honey.



"Eclipse - Anthem" 

Xcite Teams
1. Mega Power Stars[5]
2. Weekend Wrecking Crew[4] 
3. The Story[0]
- SUFFER[0]

Havok Teams
1. Metal Rush[5]
2. Blood 4 Blood[6]
3. Dan Club Silver[2]
4. Samurai Ifrit[4]

Ninten: On the Xcite side, it's VERY clear that the Mega Power Stars are taking the first and second place slots. SUFFER ironically suffered from having Viper in their team, and we hear that he's out, but The Story haven't fared much better. The Havok side was a bit more competitive, with Metal Rush and Blood 4 Blood on top, but Samurai Ifrit not far behind, and Dan Club Silver scoring a victory as well. The Slam Jam Fam are new at teaming though, and probably watching their backs due to Sal and Boomtown running afoul of Metal Rush. No weak links in that team though, just growing pains. We bring that up because the final two matches in the first stage of the E1 Team League will take place on Xcite, and one of them is a megaton bombshell. It's the one we've been waiting to see. First though, we have The Story trying to scrape a victory out of this E1 Team League and maybe the World Team Championship Rings, but good luck, because Metal Rush has two wins and one draw so far. The main event of the night though. This is the one that's selling the tickets I assure you. We're going to see Blood 4 Blood invade to take on….The Mega Power Stars!

2. E1 Team League: Rama Raju/Bashin Dan/Jaden Yuki/Takumi Inui[5] vs. Trevor Mach<Havok>/Cade Yaggis<Havok>/Subculture<Havok>/Picky Minch<Havok>[6] 

Ninten: That's right we're going to see a happening that night. Mach, Subculture, Minch, and the "Trigger" man will collide with EBW Champion Rama Raju, Bashin Dan, Jaden Yuki, and Takumi Inui. This will be the first big confrontation between Mach and Raju since the draw that split the brands! Also, it's been a long time since Mach collided with the Clash King, his future son-in-law. When's the last time he's even had a match against Takumi Inui?! Subculture might knock out the champ of Xcite! Bashin Dan and Cade Yaggis will be on opposing sides for the first time in a long time as well! These good friends went separate ways with the brand split, and Yaggis has been turning heads lately. Will Dan show him he's still got a ways to go? So many possibilities on Xcite! Darius Grouch is not going to be outdone though. 

Ana: That's right. Havok is heading home to Renegade Arena for a killer card in of itself! We only have three matches so far, with a rumor of a fourth match that I refuse to believe is true. 

Ninten: Can't you read "The Rumble's" mind to see if it is? 

Ana: You'd think….and yet…

Ninten: And yet?

Ana: And yet. Trevor Mach challenged Crono to a Bushido Rules bout, and Crono nodded, which I guess would mean he agreed. Zyro Kurogane challenged new World Champion Ness to a title match and HE nodded, which I guess would also mean he agreed. Those are pay per view worthy, or whatever the heck we call those streaming + shows. 

Ninten: Optimum Current Episode! 

Ana: Yeah that. However, Master Lu and Little Mac decided to throw themselves into the show ending fracas on Havok, and now, Metal Rush wants a piece. That's right, the legendary duo is coming out of retirement to face Hotlanta and Generator. The former World Tag Team Champions had a rough night of it on Havok, so I'm sure they're ready to dish out a little Metal Rush punishment.

Dok Hayes: I'll take care of this last one, as I've had time to read the cue cards! At the end of a stellar week, we're going to be heading to Rivery City for Rumble City! Added to the card is the announcement that the three final matches in the E1 Team League will take place, but we're also going to see a CXJ Championship 3-Way between champion Rains, Johnny Starbound, and Blue Rains. I like that Blue Rains, I want to know where he gets his various shades of Window 95 blue so I can add to my vest collection. I want to remind everyone, I wear these, not my grandmother, but I do. Also ties are far too hard to tie, so I'm going to not wear one, button this top button here, and ignore the fact that my neck is far too fat to pull that off! We're also going to see a rematch for the Women's World Championship. Paula will defend against Hope Mach in a Last Woman Standing Match! You do NOT want to miss Rumble City!

Ana: I see trees…pine trees. 

Ninten: So we need a wood expert? I know a guy. *dials his phone* Hello? Bobby Throngold? We need a man with a particular set of skills.

Ana: Oh by the way, the match I heard was happening is Tali Mach vs. Paula. 

Ninten and Dok Hayes: WHAT?!

Jammer and Jenny's Apartment

A lively scene was taking place, as Jammer invited Dan, Benjamin, Vape, Jaden Yuki, and Cade Yaggis to the house, to join he Jenny, Jessy, Lainey Strong, Alison Chains, and Christy Angel for a big get together between the "brands" on the eve of the big week. 

Bashin Dan: Gosh, it's just so great seeing you all here tonight. I missed my friends a lot. 

Jammer: I've literally been backstage to several of your shows, and you've been to several of mine Dan. We also still eat at the Saturn Cafe together at least twice a month. It's fine! 

Bashin Dan: I know I just miss the way things were. 

Benjamin: Change is the only way any of us will level up as it were Sir Dan. We peaked when the three of us faced off at the main event of Victory Explosion. 

Jammer: Yeah, you would say that Benji. You won that match! 

Benjamin: Oh, did I? Oh that's right I did! Silly me! 

Lainey Strong: Was that a thinly veiled sarcastic joke? You're making so much progress! 

Benjamin: Excelsior! 

Alison Chains: So when is this orgy getting started? 

Jammer: *spits drink* 

Benjamin: What's a-

Lainey Strong: Don't ask! 

Jenny James: I think you got the wrong idea Alison. 

Jessy James: Right! No one else thought that's what this was. *side eyes* 

Vape: …Then why did I put on my cleanest underwear? 

Jammer: CleanEST? 

Christy Angel: *blush* That's NOT something I'm too interested in….unless Cade you-

Cade Yaggis: Oh I'm with you! Some of these guys and gals have hit their heads far too many times. 

Christy Angel: Right! Exactly! 

Alison Chains: I clearly remember seeing an ad for an orgy. 

Jenny James: You're holding a container of oregano. 

Alison Chains: …You know some people sprinkle this on stuff, but I think it's just fine as is. 

Jenny James: Where did you even find that?

Jessy James: No, better question, for Dan. Where the hell is Hope? 

Bashin Dan: She's been hard at work preparing for the match with Paula. She wants to be at her best. Count outs are enough this next time. 

Jessy James: She's been at this since she was 14, I think she's got it down! Just clobber Paula's brains in with a chair and kick her outside of the ring! It's THAT simple! 

Bashin Dan: I understand where she's coming from. It's easier to get to the top than it is to stay there. Harder still…is getting back again. Christina is considered the ACE of her generation. 

Christy Angel: And that shadow hasn't been haunting me my whole life at all! 

Cade Yaggis: You're shaking. 

Christy Angel: AM I?! 

Jenny James: Hey look at that, our cat found his way to Vape's lap! 

Jessy James: You have a cat? 

Jenny James: Yeah, Dan Whiskers! 

Jessy James: To be honest, I didn't even know you moved in together so whatever. 

Jenny James: You're my sister! 

Jessy James: I don't pay attention…to like anything…except fighting and binge watching Minako in Euroland, but you did NOT hear that last part from me. 

Bashin Dan: Dan Whiskers?

Jammer: Wow Vape, I'm actually surprised. 

Vape: Haha…little guy just walked up and curled into my lap! 

Jammer: He never does that.

Vape: Seriously? 

Jenny James: Not that I can remember. You must have good energy or something. 

Vape: Ha! I don't know about that. I hope so though, I mean the cat chose me right? Must be because of my energy. Haha…cat could've chosen anyone. Room full of people.

Jaden Yuki: Yo dude, you actin' strange brah. Everything chill in the hizzy? 

Vape: Yeah, I just worry sometimes that I don't have good energy, so it's good to know that I do. It's awesome. 

Benjamin: Is everything well with you Vape? 

Vape: Everything has been fine since the "re-gloving" of my degloved hand.

Jammer: *gags* 

Jessy James: Oh yeah, I forgot that happened. Hehehe. 

Jenny James: Oh look! Dan Whiskers is cuddling up with Jaden now! 

Jaden Yuki: Yo! Checkity check it! 

Vape: …This is CRAP! 

Alison Chains: He must have good energy too or something. 

Vape: Oh must he? MUST HE?! Must he have good energy, or is your cat just one big SLUT! 

Lainey Strong: *gasp* 

Jessy James: HAHAHA! 

Jammer: Oh here we go. 

Vape: I calls em as I sees em! Your cat is a slut, bussin it open for every lap at this lame party! 

Jammer: Hey! That's my cat! You take that back! 

Vape: Whatever! This party sucks! No chicks are into me! They're all "mid" anyways, and this place smells like a fart! 

Lainey Strong: You're the one who's been farting all night. 

Vape: I'm eating a block of cheese! I'm not allowed to rip a fart! You want me to die! 

Lainey Strong: I didn't say that! 

Jessy James: Relax Vape, it's just that no one else has been farting all night! 

Vape: You want me to believe you haven't been blowing smoke into that couch all night! 

Jessy James: …Maybe a few times. 

Vape: So you have! So you knowingly have! So you knowingly have, and you acted like I was the only one ripping it up! Screw this!

Vape slowly stood up, held his back and forced himself upright, before kicking the table over. 

Jammer: STOP IT VAPE! YOU'RE SCARING MY LADY! 

Jenny James: I'm fine. This is actually somewhat hilarious. 

Jammer: Sit back down Vape! 

Vape: I will! I will! I will! But only because I have to! Not because you told me too! 

Jessy James: Hey look, Dan Whiskers is back in Vape's lap, and he's biting the hell out of him. 

Vape: YEP! Little guy just jumped right back ove-OUCH! 

Jaden Yuki: He forcefully pulled the cat away from me. That's whack yo. Look, it's ripping at the scar and degloving you again Vape! 

Jammer: You're bleeding a lot! *gags* You should go to the hospital! 

Vape: Never! I'll die here! I'll die here happy with Dan Whiskers! If you got a problem with that, we can go right now! *pulls out knife* 

Jammer: Oh I KNEW this day was coming! *pulls out switchblade* It's time Vape! I'm gonna-

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing when Alison got completely naked and walked into the bedroom. 

Alison Chains: Are we doing this or not! 

Benjamin: We're most certainly not! 

Jenny James: Well that calmed everyone down. 

Bashin Dan: …Why is his name Dan Whiskers?
