Boss M's Office
Boss M's and Lucca stared at the speaker phone, as it seemed to shake from the screaming coming through.
Seto Kaiba: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! YUGI IS MY ETERNAL RIVAL! I HATE THAT GUY, AND YET I NEED THAT GUY! IF HE'S BACK, THEN I MUST DUEL HIM!
Boss M's: I forgot the part where that's my problem Kaiba. You're a Renegade, and he's an Xciter, and the rules say-
Seto Kaiba: SCREW THE RULES, I HAVE MONEY!
Boss M's: I walked into that one.
Lucca: It felt intentional.
Boss M's: It was. Listen dude, I know you're a rich CEO, with lots of money and playing cards. To that I say, OH GOOD FOR YOOOOOU! However, when it comes to this match you want, I don't really care! K THANKS BYE!
Seto Kaiba: NOOO-
Boss M's not only hung up the phone, but tossed it out the window.
Lucca: …I think that phone belonged to Zombie U, sir.
Boss M's: …Tell them to bill Seto Kaiba. He can afford it. Hehehe. *rubs hands together*
Lucca: You seem to be in a good mood sir.
Boss M's: Oh, I'm just loving life right now. This new job suits me. You know what doesn't suit me? This motorized wheelchair! It makes me look like an old woman!
Lucca: …It's got a basket? It can hold things?
Boss M's: I don't see any flame decals or racing stripes. Trevor should know I'd want flame decals and racing stripes. It needs to look cool! Whatever, I'll deal with it later. I just can't wait for tonight. I'm making Tracy and Erica put up or shut up, and THEN, I have a special announcement to make for New Year Rising, that's going to put an even BIGGER smile on my face. *looks up laughing while rubbing hands* Hahaha.
Lucca: ….
Boss M's: *still looking up* …
Lucca: ….
Boss M's: *looks directly at the Lakitu* THAT'S WHERE YOU CUT!!!
Larry Grim: Welcome to Zombie U! It's Xcite time!
Apple Kid: We're LIVE, we're LIVING, and we're surrounded by zombies, but that's not going to stop us from getting the blood pumping tonight! Yeahaha!
Larry Grim: We're joined by special guests tonight! It's the EBW Women's Tag Team Champions Usagi Tsukino and Minako Aino!
Usagi Tsukino: Thanks for having us! Make some room though please, I hit up catering before getting here, and I'm starving!
Minako Aino: And I'm just glad I get to sit next to the APPLE of my eye! Eh?! Eh?! Ahahaha!
Apple Kid: She's great, isn't she?
Larry Grim: I'm also noticing you have your cats with you? I hope I don't start sneezing. I believe I'm allergic to cats.
Usagi Tsukino: How is that even possible?!
Apple Kid: You ladies are here at a good time too, cause tonight we're going to see Magnum PT take on Mamoru Chi-
Usagi and Minako: GRRRR MAMORUUUUU!!!!
Apple Kid: Eep!
Larry Grim: You pushed the Mamoru button. You shouldn't have done that.
Apple Kid: Apparently!
Larry Grim: Well, we have a big show to get to, so let's go ahead and get right along with it then, shall we? We're opening the show with Erica taking on her teammate in the Dark Kingdom. Gianna Rambaldi. Tag team partners EXPLODE thanks to Boss M's.
Minako Aino: I hope they destroy each other.
Apple Kid: Mina-chan?
EBW: 3-Hour Xcite
Zombie U, Threed
ENN
1. Women's Singles: Erica vs. Gianna Rambaldi
-The opening match set the tone with a heated clash between two heels, Erica and Gianna Rambaldi. Erica tried to overwhelm Gianna with aggressive strikes and underhanded tactics, but Gianna showcased her technical prowess and resilience. As the match progressed, Erica resorted to desperate measures, grabbing a chair from ringside and delivering a vicious shot to Gianna, earning an immediate disqualification.
Winner: Gianna Rambaldi via DQ
Apple Kid: Whoa! Erica was having none of that! Gianna was willing to give it an honest go, but Erica certainly wasn't.
Larry Grim: We're seeing some fracturing here with the Dark Kingdom.
Usagi Tsukino: I'm obviously all for that! Boss M's knows what I want to see!
Minako Aino: I mean we're dealing with the literal negaverse here! You know how bad that is?
Apple Kid: Not really, you don't talk about your "other job" very much.
Minako Aino: Sorry about that. I've just been so busy filming season 25 of Minako in Euroland for Flixnet.
Apple Kid: HOW DOES IT HAVE THAT MANY SEASONS?!
Artemis: They record in bulk because they're desperate for content.
Apple Kid: The doctor told me that when I see the cat talking, I'm hallucinating and I need to take my medicine. I'll be right back.
Minako Aino: Hey wait! Oh great job Artemis!
Artemis: Sorry! I forgot that he didn't know!
Larry Grim: …
Luna: He doesn't seem phased by it.
Larry Grim: …I'm a skeleton man. ACHOO!
Usagi Tsukino: YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A NOSE!
2. Women's Singles: Tracy vs. Hilda Iceheart
-Tracy attempted to win over the crowd with exaggerated sportsmanship, but her facade fell apart under the relentless offense of Hilda Iceheart. Hilda's blend of strength and technique proved too much for Tracy to handle. The match concluded when Hilda executed a flawless Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pin to secure the victory.
Winner: Hilda Iceheart via Northern Lights Suplex -> Pin
After the match, Tracy tried to attack Hilda, before Boss M's appeared on the big screen.
Boss M's: Tracy! Tracy Tracy Tracy. You've been so many things to me over the years, but right now, you're an opportunity. An opportunity to provide me with an incredible match, and a lot of laughs on a personal level. See, I wanted to keep you and Erica to put you to work, and at New Year Rising, I will do just that. You and Erica will face off one-on-one! You think you two have some semblance of solidarity? You're both going to be victims under my boot? Well first off, you can't be under my boot, because my legs don't work! Haha! You can laugh! It's fine! Secondly, I'm going to make it a #1 Contender's match! Let's see your solidarity hold out now! You've already been exposed, Tracy. You tried to play a redeemed and righteous woman, but I'm not buying it, and neither are the Xciters. You'll stab Erica in the back for that title shot, and she'll do the same to you. I'm counting on it.
3. "Road to Eagleland" Xcite Championship: Magnum PT(c) vs. Mamoru Chiba
-Magnum PT, the fan-favorite champion, put up a valiant fight against the cunning and ruthless Mamoru Chiba. Chiba targeted Magnum’s knee throughout the match, setting the stage for his vicious finishing sequence. In the end, Mamoru capitalized on a referee distraction and delivered a devastating low blow followed by a roll up, to steal the Xcite Championship from Magnum PT.
Winner: Mamoru Chiba via Roll Up -> Pin -> NEW EBW Xcite Champion!
After the match, Mamoru Chiba was joined in the ring by Colby Roads, LG Rod, and Randy no Kachi.
Colby Roads: So, what do you guys want to talk about? I know what I want to talk about. My friend Mamoru won the Xcite Championship! That is step one for him. He'll be making that the Eagleland Championship soon enough. He's the second best dressed man in the sport, next to me of course. I wear a suit all the time, and no it's not a replacement for a personality, stop saying that! It's a fashion statement! I am the sophisticated man that is PERFECT to be your face of this brand, and I WILL become the EBW Champion. Bashin Dan, the people look up to you, but your father wasn't a wrestling legend, so I deserve it more!
The familiar rockin' theme music for Tack Angel began to play, as he came out to a huge reaction, fist bumping Magnum PT as he limped to the back.
Tack Angel: A big round of applause for my good friend PT everybody! That dude represents Eagleland values just like me! Well, well, well. Here we are, standing on the cusp of a brand-new year, a brand-new era for EBW, and maybe… just maybe… a brand-new Eagleland Champion! Now, before I get into the nitty-gritty of why I'm here, let me take a moment to reflect. 2024 was one wild ride. Ups, downs, twists, turns—some would call it a rollercoaster. I’d call it a Tack-o-rama, but hey, we all know I'm biased. But let's cut to the chase. This isn’t about the past; it’s about the future. It’s about making history. You see, the Xcite Championship is sitting pretty right now on the waist of Mamoru Chiba, but he didn't do it the right way. When it came down to hook or crook, a guy I used to look up to, chose to be a crook once again. Mamoru, you’re fast, you’re smart, and you’ve got a mean streak that’s brought you gold. But there’s one thing you don’t have, and that’s the courage to step up to me when it really matters. You see, I’m not just chasing one championship—I’m chasing the chance to become the very first Eagleland Champion! Yeah, that’s right. I’ve already got my eyes on Picky Minch and the EBS Championship, but I don’t just want to walk into that match at New Year Rising as Tack Angel, the challenger. No, I want to walk in as Tack Angel, the champion! Because when I step into that ring with you, I want to make history. I want to ensure that when this company crowns its first Eagleland Champion, the fans don’t get a guy who took shortcuts, a guy who cheated, or a guy who doesn’t respect what this sport is all about. Mamoru, I’m challenging you. New Year Rising. No running, no excuses, no interference. Just you, me, and the opportunity to prove who’s really worthy of making history. And when the dust settles, when the bell rings and my hand is raised, you'll need to dry clean the red, white, and blue out of that tuxedo, and you can clean up that yellow streak while you're at it!
Boss M's Office
Boss M's watched the show, rubbing her hands together.
Lucca: Enjoying the show, sir?
Boss M's: Just thinking about the cash cow that "Star Spangled Prince" is going to be. He's embraced that John Tack marketability. It just took NEARLY A DECADE, but he's finally the "complete Tack Angel".
Lucca: Oh! So you're friends now?
Boss M's: LET'S NOT GET CRAZY! Still, he apparently made two suggestions for the roster, and I want to keep my speedo bedecked money maker happy, so I signed off on it.
Lucca: Still no woman hires sir?
Boss M's: I want to gauge what my roster can do before I put them against newcomers or just remove them altogether. I've had to sit back and watch people botch career after career cause they didn't know what to do with their roster. I'm being biased. I'm sure Tack's suggestions will be.
Lucca: This isn't Tack's handwriting sir.
Boss M's: Hmm?
Lucca: …This is Trevor's handwriting.
Boss M's: …He did it to me again?
Lucca: He did it to you again.
Boss M's: …*cough cough* WELL….Yugi seems like he'll work out. I'm sure whomst'vever he suggested this time will work out juuuust fi-
?: Is this the place? Hurry it up Tai!
Tai: Right behind you Matt…like always apparently!
Matt: Huh?
Boss M's: …You the uh….the new hires?
Tai: That's right! The name is Tai, and this is Matt!
Matt: Hmph.
Boss M's: You uh…you don't play card games do you?
Tai: What? No way! Not my style!
Boss M's: Oh good! I just saw the goggles and got nervo-
Tai: I play DIGIMON!
Boss M's: OH GOOD FOR YOOOOU!!
Matt: We're the Digi-Destined.
Boss M's: That your team name? Lucca, I need to vet these people from now on.
Lucca: Very good sir.
Boss M's: What the story?
Tai: We were pulled into a digital world, where we became heroes, fighting digital monsters!
Boss M's: …And that translates to wrestling how?
Matt: Well we're growing up, and we needed to find a real career path, and we loved the thrill of fighting in the digital world, so we took that principle and applied it to wrestling. Plus….truth be told, I want to impress my girlfrie-
Tai: Just rub it in MATT! Go ahead and them about your girlfriend, MATT!
Matt: What is happening right now?
Tai: Don't worry about! It's fine! IT'S FINE….MAAAATTT!
Boss M's: They have some underlying chaos…and that amuses me. Fine. I'm sure this'll work out.
Lucca: Let's just hope for no more surpris-
Lucca: AAAHHH!!!
Lucca: *clears throat* Oh right…I forgot. Xciters, tonight's episode of Xcite is brought to you by Cafe Noir brand coffee. It's the dark and rich, black roast that will perk up your spirits, even if you're the undead of Threed, you'll awaken to the flavor, and experience and new sensation in taste. You just can't beat it. Isn't that right, Java Coffington?
Java Coffington: *nods*
Boss M's: *quietly to herself* What are you?
4. Singles: Yami Yugi[Debut] vs. Jaden Yuki
-The crowd was electrified as Yami Yugi made his debut in spectacular fashion. Both competitors displayed dazzling aerial maneuvers and fast-paced counters, with Jaden pushing Yami to his limits. Yami secured the win by hitting the Five Star Twilight Splash, a breathtaking move that left the audience in awe.
Winner: Yami Yugi via Five Star Twilight Splash -> Pin
Larry Grim: That was a great first showing for another self proclaimed "King of Games" in Yami Yugi. He really showed Jaden Yuki that he can't sleep on his rivals just because he's had EBW Tag Team Championship success with Point Man.
Apple Kid: Jaden actually looked giddy to be in the ring with Yugi just now. He even looked to be smiling after he lost!
Backstage
Jaden Yuki was pacing back and forth, hyping himself up AFTER his match. A rare occurrence.
Jaden Yuki: Alright, Jaden! You’ve got this, bro. You’re the next big thing, baby! You’re the King of Games… in training. I mean, you just faced a legend out there and almost won! Well, okay, I lost, but it was close! Right? Yeah, super close. Who wouldn’t want to meet me after that?
Suddenly, the camera panned to reveal Yami Yugi approaching. He looked calm and composed, dressed in his classic black attire with the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. His demeanor was regal as the "Pharaoh" took center stage.
Yami Yugi: Jaden Yuki. Your determination in the ring was admirable, but your tactics… they lacked discipline. The heart of the cards—
Abruptly, Yami’s posture changes. His voice lightened, and he smiled brightly as the Pharaoh’s presence subsided momentarily.
Yugi Moto: Hey, dude! That was an awesome match! You’ve got so much energy out there. I was on the edge of my seat!
Jaden Yuki: Wait… WHAT?! You’re—oh man, you’re actually here! Yami freakin’ Yugi! The King of Games! I’ve studied all your matches, your duels, your promos—I even wrote a rap about you!
He started beatboxing poorly before launching into a rap
Jaden Yuki: Yo, Yugi’s the man with the master plan! From the Shadow Realm to the ringside stand! With the heart of the cards, he’s tough as nails, Pharaoh’s vibes got opponents wailin’ tales!
Yami shifted back into Pharaoh mode mid-rap, his intense gaze stopping Jaden mid-verse.
Yami Yugi: The heart of the cards is not something to be taken lightly, Jaden. It is a responsibility, a sacred trust. Your passion is commendable, but—
His voice suddenly softened, and he scratched the back of his head sheepishly as Yugi Moto resurfaced again.
Yugi Moto: Man, you’re good at that! That rap was fire! And don’t worry about the Pharaoh—he’s always a little intense. We're still working out who is going to do what in EBW. I tried to tell the boss lady that she basically got two wrestlers for the price of one, but she didn't want to hear it. It was apparently her Twinkies and Dr. Pepper time.
Jaden Yuki: This is crazy dawg! You’re my idol, man! I mean, watching you inspired me to mix dueling and wrestling! And seeing you pull off that Five Star Twilight Splash earlier? Dude, my jaw hit the floor! I mean literally! You really landed on me hard! I couldn't get a shoulder up! How do you keep that much balance? Millennium Puzzle magic or what?
Yami Yugi: Balance comes from within, Jaden. A duelist, like a wrestler, must have harmony in their spirit. The mind, the body, and the soul must align—
Jaden interrupted, pulling out a card from his pocket.
Jaden Yuki: Yeah, yeah, harmony, got it. But check this out! I brought Winged Kuriboh to the arena tonight. Wanna sign it?
Yami Yugi looked down at the card, his serious expression giving way to a rare, amused smile.
Yami Yugi: Ah, Winged Kuriboh. A loyal companion. It would be my honor.
5. 6-Man Tag: Bashin Dan/Rama Raju/Komaram Bheem vs. Colby Roads/LG Rod/Randy no Kachi
-The energy in the arena reached a fever pitch as the six-man tag team match got underway. The team of EBW Champion Bashin Dan, Rama Raju, and Komaram Bheem stood united, their faces showing determination as they faced the cunning trio of #1 Contender Colby Roads, LG Rod, and Randy no Kachi. The crowd was firmly behind the heroic trio, chanting Dan’s name and cheering wildly for the charismatic and powerful newcomer Komaram Bheem.
The match began with Colby Roads and Rama Raju squaring off. Colby, ever the tactician, immediately went for Raju’s left arm, trying to neutralize his power. However, Raju countered with a lightning-fast arm drag, followed by a spinning dropkick that sent Colby sprawling into his corner. Tagging in LG Rod, Colby took a moment to regroup on the outside as Rod charged into the ring.
Rod immediately tried to use his size advantage, but Raju’s agility proved too much. After evading a big boot, Raju caught Rod with a springboard forearm smash, sending him reeling. The crowd roared as Raju tagged in Komaram Bheem, and the powerhouse wasted no time asserting his dominance. Bheem hurled Rod into the corner like a ragdoll, delivering vicious chops that echoed throughout the arena.
The Story soon found their footing when Randy no Kachi used a blind tag and chop-blocked Bheem’s knee, bringing the big man to the mat. With Bheem temporarily grounded, the trio of Roads, Rod, and Randy isolated him in their corner. They used quick tags to wear him down, employing a mix of dirty tactics, including chokeholds behind the referee’s back and well-timed distractions.
Just as it seemed like Bheem might succumb to the assault, he powered out of a double suplex attempt by Rod and Randy, suplexing both men simultaneously to a thunderous ovation! Crawling to his corner, Bheem made the hot tag to Bashin Dan, and the crowd erupted.
Dan stormed the ring, taking out all three heels with clotheslines and dropkicks. Colby Roads tried to cut him off, but Dan countered with a picture-perfect Hagen suplex. Rod charged at Dan but was met with a spinning heel kick, sending him rolling out of the ring. Dan then pointed to Raju, tagging him back in as the crowd buzzed with anticipation.
Raju took to the skies, launching himself over the top rope with a corkscrew plancha, wiping out Roads and Randy on the outside. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Dan and Bheem set their sights on LG Rod. Komaram Bheem hoisted Rod onto his shoulders as Dan climbed to the top rope. With perfect timing, Dan leaped off, for a lariat. He then delivered the Brave Clash and covered him for the 1-2-3!
Winners: Bashin Dan[o]/Rama Raju/Komaram Bheem via Brave Clash on LG Rod -> Pin
Larry Grim: A major win for the EBW Champion, and the new team of Raju and Bheem. Bheem is on a roll in EBW, much like Raju before him, and they have a lot of momentum behind them heading into they EBW Tag Team Championship title shot. Apparently, we might just be seeing that on Ravage, and some of the new and improved CXJ action, with new CXJ Champion, Masao Kurenai! But now it's time for the main event, so-
Usagi and Minako: LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RI-
Apple Kid: NO! STOP! THAT'S A TRADEMARKED CATCHPHRASE!!!
6. EBW Women's Championship: Makoto Kino(c) vs.Queen Beryl
-Main event time! The stakes couldn’t have been higher as Makoto Kino made her way to the ring, proudly wearing the EBW Women’s Championship around her waist. Across the ring stood the former champion Queen Beryl, looking to reclaim the centerpiece of the division, and also reclaim victory from the hands of the Sailor Sensations.
As the bell rang, Kino extended a hand in sportsmanship, but Beryl simply sneered, slapping the champion across the face instead. The crowd booed as Kino staggered back, clutching her cheek. The slap only fueled her fire, and she responded with a stiff forearm to Beryl’s jaw, sending the former champion stumbling into the ropes.
Kino pressed the advantage, whipping Beryl into the corner and following up with a running elbow strike. She then hoisted Beryl onto the top turnbuckle, setting up for a superplex. However, Beryl raked Kino’s eyes, causing the champion to fall back to the mat. With Kino momentarily blinded, Beryl capitalized with a devastating diving knee drop to her back.
From there, Beryl methodically targeted Kino’s lower back, slamming her into the turnbuckles and applying a torturous bow-and-arrow hold. The referee asked Kino if she wanted to give up, but the champion shook her head vehemently, refusing to quit.
The crowd rallied behind Kino as she began to mount a comeback. Fighting through the pain, she broke free of Beryl’s grip and landed a series of stiff kicks to the challenger’s midsection. Kino then hit a spinning backfist, followed by a bridging Hagen suplex that earned a close two-count.
The momentum swung back and forth as both women traded big moves. Beryl nearly claimed victory with a sit-out powerbomb, but Kino managed to kick out at the last second. The fans were on their feet as Kino countered Beryl’s attempt at a chokeslam, reversing it into a thunderous spinebuster.
Just as Kino seemed poised to retain her title, Beryl resorted to underhanded tactics. While the referee was checking on Beryl, she discreetly pulled a foreign object from her boot—a small, jewel-encrusted scepter. As Kino approached, Beryl struck her in the ribs with the scepter, causing her to double over in pain. The referee, noticing something was amiss, confronted Beryl, but the heel feigned innocence.
Beryl then attempted to hit a spinning side slam, but Kino countered with a headbutt, knocking both women to the mat. The fans erupted as Kino slowly crawled to her feet, signaling for her finisher.
Just as Kino lifted Beryl for the move, Mamoru appeared at ringside, causing chaos. The referee tried to eject him, but the distraction allowed Beryl to grab the scepter again. She swung it at Kino, but the champion ducked, sending Beryl crashing into Mamoru on the apron. Kino capitalized with a powerful Supreme Thunder Dragon Suplex, planting Beryl in the center of the ring.
Kino went for the pin, but the referee was still distracted by the chaos outside. By the time the ref returned, Beryl had rolled to the ropes. Seizing the opportunity, Beryl struck Kino with a blatant scepter shot, forcing the referee to call for the disqualification.
Winner: Makoto Kino via DQ
Usagi Tsukino: BOOO! Beryl is such a villain! Let's get her Mina-chan!
Minako Aino: ABSOLUTELY! Give me that chair Apple!
Apple Kid: Ah! Sure! Ah!
Larry Grim: Well this is going off the deep end. An incredible bout ending in chaos. Xciters, that does it for us tonight, but we'll see you on Ravage. BUH-BYE!!!
