Nerma: Nerma here, and before I go any further, I want to point something out. For months, I was saying how "sus" I was of the Angel Family. I tried to "evolve" my thinking, and now, I feel bad for Makoto and Christina, but the rest of them, I'm not too sure yet. I just wanted to point out that I called it, so answer that phone. Moving on though, the right and correct person that I am, I'm pleased to announce that I will be on the commentary team for Collision: The World Games. It's going to be a big event, with several teams chipping in, but they weren't complete until they had the veteran voice of EBW. Sorry, I'm just riding high on my rightness right now. Doesn't make me happy about the situation, but hopefully, we'll see Mav Valentine beat Tack up at Collision, or else, the "King" will step on the back of the 2x Golden Tournament winner to get a title shot. I don't want to see that. Sorry, I can't be non-biased here. Did you watch Xperience? Makoto could barely get a word out! She's my friend, and I'm pissed. The fact that he also cut me off from talking to him? Where does he get the right!? *sigh* So folks, obviously Level Up is being postponed for a couple weeks, but make no mistake, Bashin Dan will be getting his shot against the Dogma Emperor when it does take place. We need 2 Days for this big event, and then the next week is Ultimate EBW, but the "Dangerous Player" will get that shot, so look forward to it. I bring up TUE, because we're also going to be covering TUE clips going forward. Little snippets to tide you over before the next episode. We know interest is high, so why not milk it right? Ugh. Let's check it out, but only AFTER you get the reveal for the logo and theme song for Collision: The World Games!

TUE House

The two coaches stood in the living room, with the rest of the talent.

Hope Mach: You're all going to be going to this show, to get a taste first hand of what we do, and what's at stake.

Christina Angel: We know that you all have at least some experience in the ring, but it's different when you see EBW talent in action. That's what we're turning you into.

Hope Mach: You're not just going to be wrestlers. You're going to be EBW wrestlers. Quite the difference.

Isiah Muscle: Works for me. I wanted to see my Dad compete anyways.

Darkness Aoi: You feel highly of your abilities, but aren't you forgetting something?

Hope Mach: No, we know what you're thinking.

Wendy Mustang: Those "Skulls & Bones".

Point Man: The Point Man will have your back if they come out and-

Christina Angel: No. Don't interfere. This show is all about developing all of you. That fight is our fight. If they show up, they show up. We'll deal with it in our own way. That'll be all.

As the two teams dispersed, Hope and Christina stuck around.

Hope Mach: We need to talk.

Christina Angel: About my Dad?

Hope Mach: Yeah. This is going to make things complicated, but I think we should wait until after Collision.

Christina Angel: I agree. We need our heads in the game.

Hope Mach: And we need to be able to watch each other's backs.

Christina Angel: I don't want this to mess with our friendship.

Hope Mach: Me either, but between this, and the competition we're about to enter against each other, it's easy to get caught up in it all. Let's settle it later.

Christina Angel: Sure.

The Mach Residence

Trevor stood looking out the window, after reading the script to Commando to Justice to put him to sleep. It had started raining, as Lucca appeared in the room from behind the couch.

Trevor Mach: You're slipping. I actually heard that.

Lucca: I'm not here to spy on you. Just to help with the kids.

Trevor Mach: Well, I unplugged the robot, and I did the parenting thing myself tonight. I AM capable of it.

Lucca: We're only here to make things easier for you. That was Sir's orders.

Trevor Mach: And tell me...where is "Sir"?

Lucca: Classified information. I was told not to say.

Trevor Mach: You know, I told her to find herself, but I was really hoping she'd at least call and tell me what she's up to.

Lucca: It's-

Trevor Mach: Complicated. I know. It was always is. I wouldn't have her any other way. A distance away, or right here in the room. I love her, and I just hope that Tack was wrong, and she loves me too.

Lucca: Do you doubt that?

Trevor Mach: That asshole was wrong about a lot of things, but I know I'm not easy to get along with.

Lucca: If it helps, sir was very happy to hear what you said on Xperience.

Trevor Mach: I love her. I don't care who knows. I don't need a harem. She's been my love and my best friend for over a decade.

Lucca: Very touching.

Trevor Mach: Yeah? Maybe this means you could lay off a little bit?

Lucca:  I will not stop. No ands, ifs, or buts. Nothing will deter me.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* Of course not.

Lucca: In fact, she was rather excited and turned on by your expressions. and she insisted I fill in for her as a result.

Trevor Mach: Lucca....please get your hand out of my pants. Just tell me where she is.

Lucca: ....*sigh* She was last spotted near the Anahuac border.

Trevor Mach: Is that right? Lucca, plug the robot back in. I've got to g-

Lucca: You can't leave. Sir needs to figure out her next steps on her own, and you have your own obligations.

Trevor Mach: ...I guess you're right. I'm going to bed.

Lucca: I will join yo-

Trevor Mach: ALONE!

Twoson Park

Amidst the action in the market place, as sullen Makoto Angel walked around, trying to make sense of things. She sat down on a bench, with her face in her hands. Suddenly, someone sat next to her.

Amy Angel: Why are you so sad Makoto?

Makoto Angel: Amy?

Amy Angel: I've been looking for you everywhere. What's wrong?

Makoto Angel: I mean, isn't it obvious? Something bad is happening with Tack. You've been around him the most. What's going on?

Amy Angel: It's not something bad. It's something good. It's something right. He's fulfilling his destiny. You of all people should be thrilled about it. You were the one who convinced him to accept that destiny remember?

Makoto Angel: I know, and I'm glad that he's embracing that side again, but this is just so much to take in. I really want to just talk to him, and remind him of all the good that has happened these last 3 years.

Amy Angel: He's seen it. Our whole lives are on record, and he doesn't want to repeat those mistakes, but he's holding on tightly to what is important, namely us.

Makoto Angel: But he married another woman too! Rose Mulligan! That's Lady M's sister! It feels like it was done out of spite!

Amy Angel: We needed her strength in our family. Strength is important right now, because we're up against gigantic odds. I'm even thinking about leaving the force to concentrate more on family business. It's going to get busy. This is the destiny you spoke about. He would take many wives, and the children would help defeat a great evil. What if....THIS is exactly how that was meant to go. The great evil, might even be EBW itself, needing to be purified. Who knows? All I know is, we need to trust in him, like he puts his trust in us.

Makoto Angel: I just...feel so distant from him right now, and-

Amy put her hand on Makoto's leg, and suddenly squeezed very tightly.

Makoto Angel: Amy?

Amy Angel: ....H-help.

Makoto Angel: Amy, what's wrong?

Amy Angel: N-nothing. Nothing is wrong. Sorry. I thought I was going to sneeze for a minute. Haha! Come on, let's go back to the hotel. We have a whole floor to ourselves.

Makoto Angel: *sigh* Alright.

Backstage - Twoson Fairgrounds

The building was packed with different agents, promoters, and talent from various places, as they all went through physicals, and filled out contracts before the commencement of the World Games. In the EBW locker room, several members of the talent were knelt down in front of Fray Tibruon, as he lead them in a prayer. The good friar caught sight of a figure passing by the door, and once the prayer was over, he quickly followed behind.

Fray Tiburon: Excuse me? Tack?

Tack Angel: ...Your Highness.

Fray Tiburon: I'm sorry?

Tack Angel: You are a Friar. You have a title. I respect that. I want you to respect me. Your Highness.

Fray Tiburon: ...I see. Well your Highness, I was just going to invite you to come pray with us.

Tack Angel: I'm not Catholic.

Fray Tiburon: Nobody's perfect.

Tack Angel: ...

Fray Tiburon: That was a joke.

Tack Angel: I'd rather not. I make my prayers personal. I don't need the assistance of an intermediary.

Fray Tiburon: That's not really my job, but are you sure you don't need assistance?

Tack Angel: What do you mean?

Fray Tiburon: Hebrews 13:4 "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."

Tack Angel: ....That doesn't apply to me. My "marriage bed" is not defiled. So, you judge me too. I thought it was judge not, lest ye be judged. Hypocrite.

Fray Tiburon: I only mean that-

Tack Angel: What? I'm not doing things the way you would. It's MY LIFE! Isaiah 4:1 "And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach.” Judges 8:30 "Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives."

Fray Tiburon: Forgive me, I didn't mean to-

Tack kicked Fray Tiburon in the head, knocking him to the floor.

Tack Angel: How dare you. I spent years letting people bully my family. I can't believe I ever let myself be that weak! I don't deserve it! They don't deserve it! In the future, you'll show us respect, and keep your thoughts to yourself Friar.

Nerma: So the fix is in! Yeah, that's right, I'm not letting it go! We had to deal with some screwy officiating and botched drug tests last night, and tonight might not be looking any better. While we did get our fair share of Gold Medals, the big travesty is how the Women's Division was treated. Two different Referee Stoppages, when neither competitor looked ready to give up. In my book, if they are conscious, and still fighting it, you do NOT make that call. In a normal match it's one thing, but this is the World Games, and it's supposed to be the foundation of an annual event of honor and respect. This isn't how you do that. Also, who else is LAUGHING about that Drug Test thing. I mean seriously, who is laughing, because I want to punch you. It's NOT funny! Bashin Dan is a pure boy dammit! A real role model for future generations. It's all bullshit. He deserves that match with Johnny Starbound, and that loss erased from the record books.

Swift's Office

Hope Mach: Swift, you know this isn't right.

Swift: Trust me, I've been making calls, and that doesn't seem to do anything. Then I thought I'd just beat some guys up, but apparently that would make it worse. What the hell am I supposed to do Hope?

Hope Mach: Don't give up! We were robbed, but I expected something like that. I'm disappointed and pissed, but not surprised. Dan though? You KNOW he didn't fail a drug test.

Bashin Dan: I literally don't even know what drugs are. I had to look it up. Unless I can test positive for card games, then it should have come up as negative.

Swift: They say you tested positive for Rock Candy.

Bashin Dan: ...See I don't know what that is?

Swift: An old drug, but it's making a comeback. Supposedly it increases your stats, even more so when you put a sugar packet on it. I have no idea how or why, but that's what this test says.

Bashin Dan: Test me again. Test me a one hundred times. It'll come up negative.

Swift: We will. Not that I don't trust you, but I want concrete proof to shove in as many faces as possible. As for you Hope, we're getting those referees replaced. Apparently the "Skulls & Bones" were threatening their families. They wanted you to be looking outside of the ring for them, when in reality, you should've been looking at the panicked referees.

Hope Mach: This is getting out of hand, and yes, I'm aware they took a finger from me, and you could make a hand pun, but I'd really rather you not.

Bashin Dan: ...I had a good one too.

Swift: Me too, but we're not going to dwell on the damn past! I need victory on Night 2. I need medals! Hope, don't let me down. Dan, you don't have to-

Bashin Dan: I'll be there. I'll be supporting Hope. She's always there for me so I'll be there for her.

Hope Mach: Dan.

Swift: You're giving be diabeetus, now get the hell out!

Outside of the office, Dan tried to keep his smile, but Hope could tell he was upset.

Hope Mach: Hey, I believe in you, and so does everyone else.

Bashin Dan: I'm not sure everyone does. I heard some people saying I thought I needed help since I failed to keep the title at Victory Explosion. I'm doing my best to keep a positive attitude about all of this, so I can one day get my rematch with Benji, but people are just so darn negative.

Hope Mach: And you never have been. You're incapable. You inspire me.

Bashin Dan: Impossible. You're the one that inspires me.

Hope Mach: I thought it was card games and the thrill of competition.

Bashin Dan: Both of those things have taken a Silver Medal when compared with how I feel about you.

Hope Mach: That was corny as all hell.

Bashin Dan: I'm sor-

Hope Mach: But, it's strangely hot.

Bashin Dan: Huh? Oh...this is the moment Benji was talking about! Hope, if you feel that way, then maybe you and I could...uh....

Hope Mach: Uh-huh?

Bashin Dan: We could uh....go to-

Hope Mach: Dad?

Bashin Dan: Go to Dad? What?

Hope Mach: No look.

Bashin Dan: Trevor?

A sore Trevor was holding an ice pack to his neck as he made his way to the door of Swift's office.

Hope Mach: Dad, are you all right?

Trevor Mach: Of course....unless that match with Ilya actually happened, then I'm in rough shape.

Hope Mach: Oh...well....

Trevor Mach: Dammit I knew it! Heh. I'm fine. You know me, it's always something. However, I'm not being cleared to compete in the Bushido Rules matches tomorrow, so I was going to complain to Swift.

Hope Mach: He's having trouble getting any head way with any of our problems.

Trevor Mach: Great. *sigh* Picky is going to have to do it without me then.

Tack Angel: Look at you, with some ice on your neck. About time you took my advice for once.

Trevor Mach: ...I don't have time for you right now.

Tack Angel: I'm not here to waste time either. Swift will have my #1 Contender contract waiting for me. I'm here to sign it.

Trevor Mach: That was a dick move, snaking away what Mav earned.

Tack Angel: Earned? What about what I've earned? I think I've earned a lot. I think I put in the time and effort. I think a King doesn't really have to earn anything other than the trust of his people, but I did it anyways. I challenged him, and he accepted. He lost, and it was a clean loss. Honor and integrity, do you know anything about those? You've never lead me to think so.

Trevor Mach: You're getting really good with the bantz Tack.

Tack Angel: It's not bantz when it's the truth right? I couldn't say, considering you're the master of BS. You tell me.

Trevor Mach: Oh, I got a lot I could tell you right now, but-

Tack Angel: You're going to cower, because you're a mess? Fine by me. I'm not here to waste time, like I said. So step asi-

Hope Mach: I'm getting really tired of the way you're talking to my Dad! He's been your best friend for YEARS!

Tack Angel: That guy? My best friend? I wanted one. I needed one. He just wanted a punch line. You ever wonder why you're not like him? You ever wonder why you're not like Tali? I mean, you look like her, but you're not her. I've been wondering that myself lately. See, I still like you, and appreciate your friendship with my daughter. If anyone should in that Women's 4-Way Eliminator tomorrow, it should be her, but if it's not, then I accept that it's you. You're a better person than your parents. I have to wonder where that came from. Then it hit me. You ever notice That Trevor and Tali have a baby Justice, and they had a future grown up Justice, just like me and Amy with Christina?

Hope Mach: Get to the point.

Tack Angel: We have never seen another you. We have a baby Justice and a baby Truth, but no baby Hope. Maybe, in your timeline, Tali figured out that Trevor wasn't worthy of being a friend or a father, and needed someone with that integrity I was talking about, namely m-

Trevor grabbed Tack by the collar, and pushed him against the wall.

Tack Angel: Oh, look who got worked now!

Trevor Mach: Don't you even-

Tack Angel: Trevor, you're stressing yourself into early greys. It's only the bantz right? Now....let go of royalty.

Trevor Mach: .....

Hope Mach: Dad, please let him go. This is what he wants.

Tack Angel: It's not what I wanted, but it's what we've got, and I certainly didn't lead us here.

Trevor slowly let Tack go.

Tack Angel: When you show some humility, apologize, and kneel at my feet for everything you've done, you can add this moment to that list.

Backstage - Twoson Fairgrounds

President Swift was pacing back and forth in front of the EBW roster competing in the World Games.

Swift: So, we came into this, with everyone expecting a shut out. We didn't get it. We fell short. I want more from this roster, the best damn roster in wrestling! I demand it! I WANT GOLD MEDALS! I want ass kickers going to war out there for the Gold Medals! We have the most competitors in this thing. We're supplying most of the equipment. That ring out there is our ring. You can tell right? It's hard as hell. That's our ring, and in our ring, we need to get those Gold Medals, so-

Tack Angel: *sigh* This is counterproductive. You think a "rah rah" speech is going to motive anyone?

Swift: I don't recall asking for your opinion Tack.

Tack Angel: I don't recall caring if you asked, and you will address me as "your highness". I am a King after all, and you're lucky to have me here. I came here as courtesy, but don't worry, I'll be winning that Gold Medal. It will be for me, and it will be for my family in Crystal Heaven. but you can count it as an "EBW win" if you'd like.

Subculture: Tack, we're trying to rally here, so-

Tack Angel: I have nothing to say to you....yet.

Swift: You have nothing to say period.

Tack Angel: If you're not going to give me the respect I've earned, then I'm leaving.

Swift: Did I say you could lea-

Tack Angel: You see this scar on my hand Swift? This scar says that I saved you once. I saved your life. This scar says that I can do what I want. However, don't define me by the scars on my body. Define me by the scars I'll leave on those who get in my way.

Subculture: ....So, we all noticed he's a massive dick now right?

Most of the roster raised their hands.

Subculture: Oh good, I'm just checking.

Twoson Fairgrounds Roof

Nerma: Nerma here, along with the rest of the team, to cover the second day of Collision: The World Games 2021! It's been an incredible event so far, with a few surprises. We saw the women of other promotions shut out the EBW ladies from getting the gold, but I KNOW the fix was in.

Vance Hustle: You SAY that, but-

Nerma: Pipe down Vance, you don't have any Mid-South women IN the World Games!

Zombie Ted Pettentool: Considering I'm also representing AGES in this event, I have to say that they won fair and square I would think.

Nerma: I'm not blaming THEM TED! I'm blaming the "Skulls & Bones". Things were different tonight! We put the pressure on the refs, and they called it fairly. No "Skulls & Bones" tonight dammit! Also, they're investigating that drug test with Bashin Dan, and I'm continuing to call bullshit on that.

Tony Bologna: How about we get to the action? We have a lot to cover tonight.

Nerma: Fine Tony. Step aside, because I will handle this.

Tony Bologna: Hey, we're getting paid no matter what, so go nuts.

Nerma: That's right! We being the night with a Battle Royale!

Collision: The World Games Day 2
Twoson Fairgrounds, Twoson
ENN

1. World Games Team Battle Royale: Mav Valentine<EBW>/Firebrand X<EBW>/Jammer<EBW>/Vape<EBW>/Takumi Inui<EBW>/Dragon Shiryu<EBW> vs Jerry Superkick<SDW>/Max Superkick<SDW>/Kenny Beta<SDW>/Kota Hayashi<SDW>/Ryan Sage<SDW>/Denny All-In<SDW> vs. Caveboy!<VBW>/Mr. Andrews<VBW>/Kamikaze Clown A/Kamikaze Clown B/Mr. Scary<VBW> vs Curry Man<3'dPW>/Flying Man<3'dPW>/Iga<3'dPW>/Blue Lightning<3'dPW>/Manley Fish<3'dPW>
Winners: Mav Valentine<EBW>/Firebrand X<EBW>/Takumi Inui<EBW>/Dragon Shiryu<EBW>

EBW Gold - 3'dPW Silver - VBW Bronze

Nerma: We had a very very good Battle Royale for EBW. Most of the team survived, and last eliminated Flying Man to take the Gold Medal for EBW. A very prestigious award for EBW, and even Vape can now say he's got a Gold Medal. He cried. He cried about it...before pimping his latest product with his face on it. Vape brand lubricants? I don't want to use that OR think about that. We moved on from the Battle Royale to the Bushido matches. They were a little different, in that you can't really do those elimination style, so they were done tournament style. Unfortunately, Trevor Mach was not medically cleared to compete for his match, giving Severide a forfeit win AND an automatic Bronze at worst. Mach came out to congratulate him with a vicious head butt. Because of course he did.

2. World Games Bushido Semi-Final: Severide<Mid-South> beat Trevor Mach<EBW> via Medical Forfeit
3. World Games Bushido Semi-Final: Picky Minch<EBW> beat Iga<3'dPW> (R2 4:04) via Cross Armbreaker -> Submission

Zombie Ted Pettentool: Iga did his best in this new environment. I was watching him train in preparation, for it, but Picky Minch just had too much experience. So happy for Iga though, as he gets us a Bronze Medal! Yeah!

Nerma: ...Your enthusiasm makes me cringe, and I don't know why. After that, we returned to elimination rules for the Men's No Rules 4-Way Singles. Now Trevor Mach DID show up for this one, claiming that No Rules meant No Rules, and he couldn't be barred medically for something with No Rules. They had no choice but to let him in, and he proceeded to kick ass.

4. World Games Men's No Rules 4-Way Singles: Trevor Mach<EBW> vs. Mr. Scary<VBW> vs. Big Boy Jelly Nutella<SDW> vs. Harvey Chase<CWFS>
-Trevor Mach<EBW> eliminated Big Boy Jelly Nutella<SDW> via chair chot to the head -> Pin
-Mr. Scary<VBW> eliminated Harvey Chase<CWFS> via thumb tack DDT -> Pin
-Trevor Mach<EBW> beat Mr. Scary<VBW> via Brass Knuckle Punch x Burning Machismo onto tacks -> Pin -> World Games Men's No Rules Singles Gold Medal!

Nerma: Do we not have a VBW guy at the table? Well, they luckily grabbed the Silver, but Trevor used Harvey Chase's Brass Knuckles to set up a Burning Machismo onto thumb tacks, a sad fate for Mr. Scary. Trevor Mach with the win and the World Games Men's No Rules Singles Gold Medal!

EBW Gold - VBW Silver - CWFS Bronze

5. World Games Elimination Women's 4-Way Singles: Hope Mach<EBW> vs. Kyoko the Love Shocker<AGES> vs. Chin Flanchard<BBB> vs. Dentist Brit the Dentist<SDW>
-Dentist Brit the Dentist<SDW> eliminated Chin Flanchard<BBB> via Curb Stomp -> Pin
-Hope Mach eliminated Dentist Brit the Dentist<SDW> via Hagen Suplex -> Pin
-Hope Mach beat Kyoko the Love Shocker<AGES> via Olympic Slam x Ankle Lock -> Submission -> World Games Women's Singles Gold Medal!

Nerma: The women's roster came out to put pressure onto the referee, who did INDEED have a gift box in his possession. They called him away and brought out a different ref for the Women's 4-Way Singles. This lead to a much different scenario. Hope Mach, cast on her hand and all, managed to eliminate from Brit of SDW and Kyoko the Love Shocker to win the Gold Medal! Finally, a Gold Medal for the Women of EBW! YEAH!

EBW Gold - AGES Silver - SDW Bronze

6. World Games Elimination Men's 4-Way Singles: Tack Angel<EBW> vs. Johnny Starbound<Mid-South> vs. Flying Man<3'dPW> vs. Colby "The Eagleland Cheese"<SDW>
-Tack Angel<EBW> eliminated Colby "The Eagleland Cheese"<SDW> via Superkick -> Pin
-Tack Angel<EBW> eliminated Flying Man<3'dPW> via Angel Wings -> Pin
-Tack Angel<EBW> beat Johnny Starbound<Mid-South> via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver -> Pin -> World Games Men's Singles Gold Medal!

Tony Bologna: I'm taking over here, because I've been told Nerma isn't allowed to recap this one.

Nerma: Bullshit!

Tony Bologna: Tack Angel made this look effortless. When I say that, I mean he eliminated everyone in the match. He made sure Colby won't have a Medal to show off on his reality show. I'm being told by his wife in my ear piece that we think that's a travesty, and some long winded rant about Eagleland. It's hard to make sense of it. Flying Man was sent packing with a Bronze, and Johnny Starbound found out that Tack wasn't kidding when he said Starbound was only "Starbound" as long as the King allowed it. A Wrist Clutch Angel Driver lead to Tack Angel's Gold Medal win.

EBW Gold - Mid-South Silver - 3'dPW Bronze

7. World Games Bushido Finals: Picky Minch<EBW> beat Severide<Mid-South> (R3:0:39) via Heel Hook -> Submission -> World Games Bushido Gold Medal!

Nerma: Can someone say SHUT OUT! We did it tonight! Picky Minch fought Severide in a bloody Bushido Finals, and submitted his ass with a Heel Hook! Gold Medal for EBW! We rule! You guys have been talking trash for months, while we were more than happy to work with you, and look what happens! Yeah, I get it, I'm coming off as the "bad guy" here, but I'm loyal to my company and my people. They pulled it off tonight, and I couldn't be happier. So forgive me for what I'm about to do. Haha...ha...haha...ha HAAAAAAA! There, I feel better. Now, it was time for our double main event!

EBW Gold - Mid South Silver - 3'dPW Bronze

8. EBW Women's World Championship: Christina Angel<EBW>(c) beat Bloody Mary<VBW> via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Christina hit Mary with a hip toss and sent her to the outside with a dropkick. Once she recovered, Mary returned to the ring and was met with an armbar takedown from Christina. Mary took another powder at ringside. Christina dove to the outside, but Mary countered the move. However, Christina quickly regained control with a Tiger Feint. Christina climbed back onto the apron and hit a surprising Asai Moonsault. Christina brought Mary back into the ring and hit slingshot double knees. Mary turned the tide with a Backstabber but could only manage a 2 count. Mary tried for another pin after hitting a Clothesline and Neckbreaker, but Christina kicked out again. Mary hit a Blockbuster and covered Christina for another two-count. Mary changed tack and worked over Christina with an armlock. Mary hit a backbreaker and covered Christina for a 2 count. Mary tried to pin Christina twice more after a Suplex. Mary went for a Senton, but Christina avoided the move and fired back with a Flapjack. Mary fell into the ropes and Christina hit a big series of kicks. Christina hit a Slingshot Dropkick for a nearfall. Mary managed to hit a Facebuster, but landed on Christina’s knees when Mary attempted a Lionsault. Mary and Christina ended up in the corner and Mary bit Christina in the face, and hit an Underhook Backbreaker. Mary hit a Powerbomb, but Christina was able to come back and hit Mary with a running Meteora. Christina hit Mary with a Hagen Suplex and Mary fired back with a Suplex of her own. Mary hit Christina with a Backstabber and followed up with a Lionsault for a nearfall. Christina applied a Crossface, which Mary managed to reverse into a pin attempt. Christina rolled out of it, and hit the ropes for Shining Wizard. A woozy Mary took a series of kicks to soften her up for the Angels Wings, but she countered out, attempting a Hagen instead. Christina escaped and hit Mary in the mid section, setting her up to CLUTCH the WRIST for the Wrist Clutch Angel Driver, the pin, and the title defense.

Nerma: Christina with the win, after a surprising technical back and forth battle there. Bloody Mary really brought it, but Christina had to show off for her trainees in TUE who were sitting in the crowd. A title defense from our ACE!

9. EBW Triple Crown World Championship:

Benjamin<EBW>(c) beat Razorblade<VBW> via Top Rope Masamune -> Pin -> Title Defense!

-Main event time, as Benjamin put the Triple Crown on the line against VBW's Razorblade, the "One Man War", who comes into the match with the VBW and EBW Television Championships, but those titles were not on the line, specifically to keep Benjamin from potentially making history. Everything Razorblade put into this match was to get at Benjamin, a man he's pinned on more than one occasion. The "Warrior of Light" kept his cool, and focused specifically on this match, instead of attempting to win a Gold Medal as well. Everything was put into this match, and it showed, as the two warriors collided at the bell. Benjamin was happy to try and shoot in, and grapple with the physically imposing Razorblade, who would plant him on the mat, and mock him to the disdain of the crowd. Even the VBW fans were booing Razorblade, after he insulted his own company, which is from a place they're from so they didn't like that, cause they're also from that place. Nothing fancy from Razorblade, just slams, and face plants. An Exploder lead to a near fall, as the fan rallied behind Benjamin. He fought through and onslaught and took Razorblade to the ground with a Spear. He tried lifting Razor for the Masamune, but Razorblade escaped and dropped Benjamin on his head for another near fall. The two fought to the outside, where Razorblade launched Benji into the ring steps and then threw him into the ringside barriers. Benji tried to make a comeback, but Razorblade brought him back into the ring, where he landed a big hit to Benjamin’s jaw and a dropkick while he was draped in the ropes. Razorblade took to the middle rope and drove Benjamin into the mat for a two-count. Razorblade applied a single-leg crab on Benjamin. Benjamin escaped the submission and mounted a comeback with a series of strikes, and a Reverse STO. Benjamin hit Razor with a flying back elbow and followed up with a Falcon Arrow for a near fall. Benjamin blocked a kick from Razor and rocked him with a forearm. He followed it with another, and then a series of elbows, and a big Suplex spot. He went to the second rope, and the fans reached a fevered pitch, as Benji was ready to hit the Excalibur, but Razorblade suddenly rushed him, with the two fighting to the top turnbuckle. Razorblade tried to set up for a Top Rope Exploder, but Benjamin fought it off, and pounded Razorblade with shot after shot after shot. Razor got woozy, and Benjamin lifted him high up from the top turnbuckle, to crash him to the mat with a Top Rope Masamune. The Heaven's were cut in two, as Benji brought him down for the pin. 1-2-3! Benjamin with the win and the title defense!

Nerma: And Benjamin retained! Razorblade took him to the limit, but Benjamin proved that he deserves to be at the top. His win over Bashin Dan was no fluke, and the "Mystic Bout Machine" continues to deliver some of the best matches we've ever seen in EBW history. Razorblade was obviously livid, as the "One Man War" finally got slapped back for his actions against EBW. I doubt that it's over, but for tonight, EBW stands victorious. Goodnight everybody!

El Jackito's - Toledo, Anahuac

*At the most famous watering hole in Toledo, El Jackito's, the place was packed to the brim with patrons, lucha libre fans in masks, and more. It was an obvious fire safety code violation too. But seeing how both the Toledo Fire Chief and Toledo Police Commissioner were both inside, enjoying and joining in on the action, it was all perfectly legal on this crazy Toledo night. What could have gathered everybody attention in such a great response, well as the LIVE! cameras slowly made it's way into the super overly crowd of patrons, we could now see why. In the middle of the bar, a table was set up with the room split into two huge crowds. Two people sat in the middle. Not just any people, the two most famous hardcore binge drinkers in all of Anahuac, and maybe Eagleland.  On one side was Lady M's. The other side was Dave Larmore.

Venus unfortunately had the role of playing mediator to what appeared to be a drinking game with lots of bets taking place. Namely with the newly elected ultra-feminist Police Commissioner betting all her money on Lady M's and the super sexist and misogynistic Fire Chief betting all of his on Larmore. It was very intense heated battle of drinking prowess to say the least, with the score at the moment was 24 shots of the hardest strongest tequila for each of the participants.  Venus then announced the score, just after Larmore finished his 24th shot.....*

Venus: HELLO EVERYBODY! Venus here at El Jackito's in Toledo, where the drinking rivalry between Lady M's and Larmore, which started slowly and friendly has now escalated into all out war for drunken supremacy. The score is now 24 shots to 24 shots, with Larmore just now slowly downing his. Now I don't know who....

*Venus is now interrupted by the Fire Chief, who shouts at both Lady M's and the Police Commissioner, very loud and rudely....*

Fire Chief: YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT. I TOLD YOU NO WOMAN CAN EVER OUT DRINK A MAN!

Police Commissioner: IT'S NOT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS, YOU BASTARD!

Fire Chief:     WELL I WOULD GO PRACTICE SOME KARAOKE IN PREPARATION FOR IT!

Police Commissioner: YOU SON OF A BITCH!

*Lady M's now tired on the banter yells out at both of them....*

Lady M's: WOULD YOU BOTH PLEASE SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP! I AM TRYING TO CONCENTRATE HERE!

*Both of them now go quiet as Lady M's goes for shot number 25. She now slowly drinks it, everybody in the bar holding their breath in anticipation. Lady M's now pauses for a moment to reflect for moment, showing signs of giving up. Everybody in the bar are about to start exchanging money, when Lady M's shouts out.....*

Lady M's: I AM SO SORRY! I AM....

*The Fire Chief now chimes in gleeful victory.....*

Fire Chief: DONE! IT'S OVER! I TOLD YOU SO, YOU STUPID BITCH!

*Lady M's now interrupts the Fire Chief again as she slams the shot glass on the table as she announces....*

Lady M's: AND I TOLD YOU THE SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP! I AM NOT DONE! I HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN TO DRINK!

*The place erupts in the thunderous and loud cheers and applause from Lady M's side of the bar! Larmore side now begins to encourage him to continue on. He looks more worst for ware at this point though. Larmore now quiets the room again. He then takes his 25th shot and begins to drink it without saying a word. He then slams the shot on table. He then smiles at Lady M's, lets out a very loud and disgusting belch. He falls over out of his chair, completely passed and wasted. Lady M's now just shrugs her shoulders at this result. She then casually pulls out a cigarette from behind her ear, lights it up, and begins smoke it as she sits in her chair with her feet on the drinking table. Venus then enthusiastically announces that....*

Venus: AND THE WINNER IS LADY M'S. 25 SHOTS TO 24 SHOTS.

*All the betters in the bar now exchange their money with each other, as Lady M's continues to look on, smoking her cigarette. The defeated Fire Chief gives his money to the very happy Police Commissioner and leaves the bar without saying a word. Police Commissioner now walks over to Lady M's and places her hand on her shoulder, while telling her....*

Police Commissioner: You really kicked that man's ass.

*Lady M's now snorts at the comment. She then proceeds to put the cigarette out on the Police Commissioner's hand. The Police Commissioner now pulls her hand back in pain. She now shouts at Lady M's....*

Police Commissioner: OWWWWWW! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL WAS THAT FOR, YOU CRAZY BITCH!!

*Lady M's now casually tells her in response....*

Lady M's: Next time you touch me, you pull back a bloody fucking stump.

*The Police Commissioner is furious and yells out Lady M's....*

Police Commissioner: I WANT THIS WOMAN ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT!

*The rest of the bar's remaining patrons now surround Lady M's, ready to defend their drinking champion to the death at this point. Lady M's now tells her straight up, as she casually begins to collect and pocket all of her own personal winnings from the bets and tips from off the drinking table....*

Lady M's: Looks like you will have to go through all these fine patrons first.

*The Police Commissioner now slowly begins to back up towards with all these burly buff men now beginning to slowly move towards her. Lady M's now tells the Police Commissioner as she laughs.....*

Lady M's: *Laughs* What's the matter? Is the feminist afraid of a few strong men. *Laughs more*

*The Police Commissioner now grits her teeth and clinches her fist to contain her absolute rage at the situation. She now tells Lady M's as she finally leaves the bar...*

Police Commissioner: You win the round.

*Lady M's now retorts after she has left.....*

Lady M's: I win EVERY round.

*Lady M's now notices a very colorfuly flyer on top of El Jackito's bar. Lady M's now picks up and reads it......*

Lady M's: Toledo. Championship. Wrestling. *thinks for a moment* Don't mind if I do.

*Lady M's now rolls up the TCW flyer and puts in her back pocket. She now casually leaves El Jackito's as she tells El Jackito.....*

Lady M's: Thanks for the excitement, Jackie.

El Jackito: It's El Jackito, senorita.

Lady M's: Whatever you say, Jackie.

*El Jackito now give a long defeated sigh. Outside the bar, Lady M's has already lit another cigarette and now takes a long drag off it. She shouts out loud to herself.....*

Lady M's: DAMN! IT DOES FEEL GOOD TO BE BACK!

*Lady M's now begins to casually troll down the streets and into the Toledo night. A minute or two later, Venus, after witnessing everything, exits bar quickly, while looking for and yelling after Lady M's....*

Venus: LADY M'S?! LADY M'S?! TALI?! PLEASE, WAIT UP, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!

*Back in the bar, only El Jackito and an unconscious Larmore on the bar floor are left. Larmore now slowly begins to stir with a loud gurgled groan. He now yells at El Jackito....*

Larmore: WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!

*El Jackito now casually tells Larmore as he begins collect the 50 shots glasses from the drinking table.....*

El Jackito: You lost, senor.

*Larmore's eyes now widen with horror at the thought. He now closes them as he shouts out in anger....*

Larmore: OH, SON OF BI....

Good News Gary was running around backstage looking for Rains, when he finally found him....talking to someone he'd never met before, but seemed very familiar.



Good News Gary: Rains! What is this? It's not GOOD NEWS!

?: Indeed, I am NOT "good news". I am in fact BAD NEWS! I AM BAD NEWS BARRY, and I have convinced Rains that your way is the WRONG WAY, and he needs to change now unless he wants to job forever!

Good News Gary: Rains no! I'm getting you ove-

Rains: I have NEVER gotten over, no matter what you've done! It's time for a change! I need to control my life, and it's time to inflict BAD NEWS on EBW, especially that damned "Shark Order" that's been making me look bad! A STORM IS COMING GARY!

Good News Gary: NOOOOOOO!!!!

Backstage...Elsewhere

Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here, with Nani Angel, my sister wife, and a partner in crime as it were. Haha! I'm really happy to see you back in EBW, and with a Gold Medal around your neck!

Nani Angel: It's good to have this Medal, for the whole family, but not for EBW. This company saw to it that all the wives, except for you, were barred from competing. I've found a loophole.

Makoto Angel: Obviously, and it's exciting to-

The Valkyries suddenly walked up.

Duvalie: Nani Angel! *bows* It's a pleasure to see you back in action.

Nani Angel: What do you want?

Duvalie: Just welcoming you, from one Queen to another. I recently won the Killer Queen Tournament, and it was an honor for me, and for those I serve .

Nani Angel: Who do you serve?

Duvalie: Not important just yet. What IS important to know, is that they like you, and they like your family, and we have your back.

Nani Angel; Not necessary.

Duvalie: They are coming though. One best watch their back.

Nani Angel: You're challenging Christina next. I have no interest in an alliance.

Duvalie: Very well. *bows* Remember though, it won't take much more to get on her bad side. A rift is forming.

Nani Angel: .....





Tommy Dukes: Welcome to the Mid-South Sportasseum for EBW: Xcite! We're post Collision, and EBW got SO MANY Gold Medals! I'm proud of our team, but we also had some title changes and defenses! Trevor Mach lost the Challenge Championship to Ilya Fedorovich, while Christina and Benjamin defended their titles. However, Tack Angel is now the #1 Contender, after beating Mav Valentine, the former champ and 2x Golden Tournament winner. So many accolades! So many stats to spit out. We also had a bit of controversy right Nerma?

Nerma: A LOT of controversy. Whoever is in the "Skulls & Bones" continue to pester and and spread fear and paranoia from the shadows, and Tess has been absent as well. Despite not seeing a single one of them, they've cost Hope Mach a finger for a while, and cost EBW a LOT of Gold Medals. THEN, we have the absolute bullshit of Bashin Dan failing a drug test. He took other tests, and no he was NOT NOT NOT taking Rock Candy. He doesn't need to artificially inflate his stats! As far as I'm concerned, he's got 255 across the board from natural talent. So the match result was changed to a No Contest. That was NOT a loss for Bashin Dan.

Tommy Dukes: It was pretty crazy, but you did a great job covering it.

Nerma: I wasn't allowed to cover Tack Angel content! Can you believe he's still keeping this up?!

Tommy Dukes: Well, you've been a harsh critic for years.

Nerma: I WAS RIGHT! That's why he's so upset. Everything I ever said is turning out to be true! *gasp* I wonder if that means my fanfiction will come true!

Tommy Dukes: We have a huge show tonight, and because we're at Mid-South, we have a TON of Dark Matches to cover. Do you have ENN+ yet? You really should get it. We saw some weird Tack Angel stuff in the ENNXXX+++ Gold Tier content. Chaz Hardcastle is really pushing for more obscene content. The "Weekend Wrecking Crew" got a win over "The Shark Order" in a friendly and competitive contest. Takumi Inui and Dragon Shiryu beat "The Shark Order" and the former? "Flood Generation", when Takumi hit the Crimson Smash on Nosan. Golvoth destroyed Manu Kalani...obviously. BBB's Dulce Reina submitted BeShemoth with a surprise Cross Armbreaker. "The Valkyries" overcame a BBB faction in 6-Woman Tag action. The Women's World Tag Team Champions the "James Sisters" beat the SDW team of Brit the Dentist and Rebel Reba or whatever. I don't know what she wants to be called. You know Brit is a Dentist though right? Finally, we saw Firebrand X beat Mid-South's Severide in Bushido Rules action. A Kimura Submission lead to a Referee Stoppage. Severide is very talented, and I wish we hadn't let him slip through the cracks. Such a big night tonight. We're going to see "Dan Club" take on a Mid-South team lead by the so called Unified World Champion Johnny Starbound. We're gonna see "Blood 4 Blood" take on the "War Kings", sans Trevor Mach, who has been finding himself having trouble getting medically cleared to compete. So much action!

Nerma: We begin the action tonight with purchased time from-

Lilly Belle Hopper: Bouncy bouncy! Whoa guys, did you see that? I almost fell out of my top! Haha!

Nerma: What the hell?

Lilly Belle Hopper: At the request of the "Constellation King" Tack Angel, I Lilly Belle Hopper, am here with Nani Angel to introduce the man of the hour. He brought EBW and Gold Medal, and is the NEW #1 Contender for the Triple Crown World Championship. The one and only Tack Angel!

Nerma: This is-

Nani Angel: Don't speak.

Nerma: Yikes!

Tack Angel came out to a chorus of boos, with his scythe in hand, and a Gold Medal around his neck. He looked around and took in the reaction.

Tack Angel: This. This is why I feel so confident that I'm doing the right thing. When I find myself surrounded by Mid-South hicks, booing me, I know I'm doing something right. Yeah, that's right I said hicks. You're hicks! You're hicks, and if you don't shut up I won't be going anywhere, because I bought this time. It feels good to get that out you know? I don't have to pretend that I'm a hero to everyone, when I knew deep down that I didn't really care for people this far south. We all have our darkness inside, except all of you wear it on your sleeve instead, while I tried so hard to be good. I don't need to be good OR bad now. I just need to be King. That is what is right. I care about my people, and I care about my success. You can all go to Hell. Moving on to the reason I bought this time, with the vast amount of money I have collected from my people, from all of you, and from all the stupid merchandise and cartoons that tried to make a mockery of me. All of that money, is blood money as far as I'm concerned, and I'm using it for my ends. The reason I bought this time was to talk about a couple things. First off, we're talking about loose ends, and you will SHUT UP WHEN THE KING IS SPEAKING! You're bullies, just like a few other people in my life have tried to be bullies, and I don't like bullies. Trevor Mach, you're probably the worst offender, and I have to admit something to you. I actually thought for a moment that Hope couldn't possibly be your child. She's got heart that you and Tali lack. You're broken down, and she's off somewhere abandoning her family. I've been glued to the network, and I've seen it. She left, and you're heartbroken. Like I said, she won't even be in the same room as you. She won't be a wife or a mother. You? You pass off responsibilities, and then you pass up opportunities with Lucca. If she wanted to become an Angel wife, that would be no problem. I thought Hope might have been mine. I thought Tali might have been smarter in another time and place, but alas, she indeed the daughter of Trevor Mach and Lady M's. That's a shame in my opinion, but Hope, I can be like a Father to you, and guide you on a better path. Think about it. You deserve to be a Princess too. More loose ends! A year ago, my life was plagued by a particular person, who has since been relegated to Level Up Pro, oh and by the way, I will NOT be appearing on that show again, and Trevor, I don't give a damn who you give that other title too. Cadmus, the "Dark Star Emperor". You wanted to be a King, but there is only ONE KING around here, and you're looking at him! I know you want another shot at me. You've been obsessed over it. Now is the time. Come on out here, because I don't have the pleasure of remembering the matches we've had, and I think you deserve more than you got for what you did to me. GET OUT HERE NOW!



1. Tack Angel's Purchased Time:

Tack Angel beat Cadmus via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver -> Pin

-Tack Angel battered Cadmus the moment he entered the ring. Hitting hard kicks and elbows, he dragged the "Dark Star Emperor" around the ring, dragging his face into the ropes. A far cry from their matches in the past, where it was quite back and forth, tonight Tack humiliated Cadmus, nailing him with a Superkick, and pinning him, before lifting him up to instead hit the Wrist Clutch Angel Driver. Then he planted his foot onto Cadmus for the 1-2-3.

Nerma: I-

Lilly Belle Hopper: Everyone, let's give it up for Tack Angel! Wow! That was quite the spectacle!

Tack Angel: Come on Cadmus! You wanted this right? You wanted to mock me. You wanted to come after my family, which all of that stupid crap you pulled, and I hate myself for letting it happen! Do you know how frustrating it is, seeing the weakness I showed, by letting you continue on and on and on and ON! It's not right, and it's not fair! It's unbecoming of a KING! You will give me the respect I deserve. KNEEL! Take a knee, and respect your KING!

A battered and woozy Cadmus spit at Tack's feet, and got a kick in the head for his troubles.

Tack Angel: Don't make me do that again. I don't want to have to be ruthless, but that's where I've been pushed. I'm not going to let people like you call the shots anymore. I'm calling them, and I'm telling you to kneel. I swear, I'll kick you aga-

Cadmus; ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT FINE! I KNEEL! I'M KNEELING! SEE?! JUST DON'T KICK ME AGAIN! You win....you're the King.

Tack Angel: I'm sorry, could you repeat that?

Cadmus: You're the King Tack.

Tack Angel: LOUDER! I WANT EVERYONE TO HEAR IT!

Cadmus: YOU'RE THE KING!

Tack Angel: ...I am. *sigh* I didn't want this. I didn't ask for it. This is where I was lead in life, and I'm doing what I have to do. I'll discuss more with the hicks later tonight.Make no mistake people. I am Heaven sent, but I'm Hell bent.

Backstage

Makoto Angel: That was a crazy moment with Tack just now, but we can't stop to dwell, because Razorblade just entered the building. Razor, what are your-

Razorblade: Save it. Don't come up to me. Don't ask me questions. Keep the mics and the stupid flying cameras out of my face. I lost. That shit happens, but it doesn't mean I'm done. I'll get back around to that particular task another time, but the "One Man War" has something to revel in tonight, and someone is going to get their face rubbed in it. You tell Hardcastle to have his cameras ready for that!

2. Women's Television #1 Contender: Kimber Blaze beat Lainey Strong, Gold, Kaie[x] via Eagleland Rack -> Submission
-The next match saw four of the hungry competitors in the Women's Division fight it out for a shot down the road against Hope Mach. A fun and frantic match, devoid of any "Skulls & Bones" interference, but Kaie did get a bit of a receipt for her actions against Erica the other night, when the former Women's World Champion appeared in the crowd and maced Kaie in the face. She struggled back into the ring blinded, and fell into the Eagleland Rack, which lead to a quick and humiliating submission for the Celtic Warrior. Strong and Gold were dumbfounded at how quick it was, unable to break up the submission in time. Kaie ran off to try and clean her eyes, while Erica simply smirked and walked away.

Nerma: I never thought I'd see that. Erica and Kaie are at odds here, amidst a possible "Skulls & Bones" invasion. Who knows where this will lead, but I'm guessing Erica taking on Kaie inside of that very ring. Seems like the safe bet. I mean this is pro wrestling.

Backstage

Razorblade was walking backstage with a purpose, when President Swift stood in his way.

Swift: Funny, I don't recall saying the loser from VBW was allowed to my show tonight.

Razorblade: You think that would stop me? You could try and stop me, but that didn't work out the last time did it?

Swift: ....You're not getting a rematch with Benjamin. That goes to-

Razorblade: Not my goal...not right now. I have something I want to make sure I get credit for. You're going to want to see this, so get out of my way.

Swift: You had better watch yourself Razor. I'm so close to snapping and putting your stupid ass though the wall.

Razorblade: ...Out of my way.

Nani Angel made her way out to the ring next, with a brand new theme. Actually an old theme that Tack used, but now the theme of Crystal Heaven apparently.




3. Women's No Rules Singles: Nani Angel<Crystal Heaven> beat Alison Chains via Manji-Gatame -> Referee Stoppage
-A match that heavily favored Alison Chains, seemed to work against her, in this return bout of sorts from Collision. Nani came back, representing Crystal Heaven as a loophole, and took the Gold Medal thanks to the Manji-Gatame and the ref making a judgement call. In this all out brawl, a very similar situation came into play. Nani used flash paper to startle Chains with a flash, but didn't throw it directly into her face, just using it to remind Chains of the blinding flash in the locker room. She trapped Chains in the Manji-Gatame again. Chains fought as hard as she could, but history repeated itself with a Referee Stoppage.

Nerma: I-

Lilly Belle Hopper: Wow! Look at that! Nani Angel has never looked better. She fought Chains in her element, and she beat her with that devastatingly painful Manji-Gatame. That's a true Crystal Heaven warrior!

Nerma: I can't talk about her either?! Come on!

Tommy Dukes: Yikes.

4. 6-Man Tag: Bashin Dan[o]/Jammer/Vape beat Johnny Starbound<Mid-South>/Dom Barris<Mid-South>/Tom Barris<Mid-South>[x] via Brave Clash -> Pin
-6-Man Tag action saw the "Dan Club" take on the Mid-South team, in a one sided affair. Starbound kept his distance from Dan, and constantly mocked him for the drug test, throwing a fake bag of Rock Candy at him. Dan made the Mid-South team pay for the insult, with a Brave Clash on Tom Barris to score the pinfall victory.

Bashin Dan: So, let's just get this straight right now. Benjamin, Jammer, and Vape. They all did so well at Collision. A round of applause for them please. So proud of my friends. However, Collision wasn't kind to me. No Gold Medals, and no Unified World Championship. I was going to use it as my ticket to a rematch with Benji, but they said I failed a drug test. I don't do drugs. I've never done drugs, and I never will. I live a clean lifestyle. I'm apparently a "boy scout" in a world where that's considered goofy or archaic. I'll never apologize for it. I've always wanted to be a hero, an inspiring champion, and a master at card games. That last part isn't relevant to this right now, but it needs to be said none the less. I don't know what happened with that test, but I have been absolved by further tests. I really want that match I was scheduled for. I really want to get back to success, because even though I did lose at Victory Explosion yet again, that will NEVER stop me from trying again and again, and pushing for success and higher peaks. Just winning the Triple Crown isn't the end all be all goal for me. I want to keep taking things higher and higher and-

Razorblade: High? You're making drug jokes now are you?

Bashin Dan: Obviously not what I meant. Why do you want?

Razorblade: Oh, I just wanted to see the look on your face. The curse continues for Bashin Dan. He falls flat on his ass at Victory Explosion, and loses everything. It's fun to see to be honest, but your attitude is infuriating. You had a path laid out to bounce back at Collision. You probably would have beaten Starbound, but I didn't want to see that. It made me sick to think about. That's why I might have switched out your drug test myself.

Bashin Dan: YOU!

Razorblade: Ha! That look. It's perfect. The face of EBW, absolutely broken up. I hate this place, and I hate your attitude. In fact, I think it was your attitude that brought it on. An "age of heroes"? Bull....SHIT! You're not better than me. You're not on some other level. Even if you were, I'd drag you down, and wipe that optimism off your face. This was worth the trip tonight. Worth every penny.

Bashin Dan: ....

Vape: I don't think I've ever seen Dan that red in the face before. I'm going to stand back a little.

The next segment was another one purchased by Tack Angel. He came out again, holding his scythe, and taking in the boos.

Tack Angel: This is my time, and you will respect that. Actually, I don't care, boo all you want. Reveal to me who you really are. It just reinforces things for me. You're really helping to make this easier. I wanted to take this time to address you Benjamin, the Triple Crown World Champion. A symbol of a new generation. What about my generation? What about me? I'm not so ready to be overlooked or passed over yet. Actually, I feel like I've never been better. A King finally at his full potential. I'm a King and you're simply a Knight. I am an innovator. You're an imitator. I am leader, you are a follower. I am winner, and you are all losers, if you think that Benjamin can stop me, with how I'm feeling right now. Knights kneels to their Kings, and you WILL kneel to me, when I claim the Triple Crown for myself and MY FAMILY! Only for us, and not for any of you. You keep booing. You keep doubting. That's good. I'm feeding on it right now. Time for another teachable moment, and time to deal with more loose ends. I already dealt with Cadmus, but now I want Saxon and Novus out here RIGHT NOW! You two are the WORST, and I'm going to kick your heads in!

Saxon: I KNEW IT! I KNEW HE DIDN'T LIKE US!

Novus: I'm shocked quite frankly.

5. Tack Angel's Purchased Time:

Tack Angel beat Saxon/Novus[x] via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver -> Pin

-Another showcase for Tack, as he took on Saxon and Novus in handicap action. They were hesitant to attack the man they had idolized, but Tack was quick to kick and elbow them. Absolutely battering the former "TackForce", Tack smashed Saxon with a Superkick, before crashing Novus to the mat with a Wrist Clutch Angel Driver.

Nerma: W-

Tommy Dukes: Just let me do it, so Lilly doesn't come out again. Tack with an easy win over Saxon and Novus. He really is tying up those loose ends tonight. I've never seen him this good before. I mean that. Even back during the John Tack days, he wasn't at this level. Is Benjamin getting worried about that? Well, I'm hearing we might find out, because Benjamin just grabbed a Lakitu.



Benjamin: Tack Angel, a Knight will kneel out of honor and respect, to a King that they believe in. I do not believe in you. I used to. I used to think you were one of the best, and someone to emulate. They called you a pillar of EBW for a reason, but you shook that pillar, and tossed the world into turmoil. Your actions and your words, even if you have a point to them, have still been out of line. You're out of line, and you're not a King I could ever serve. You're not a King I could kneel before. I get that you want to be the best. Don't we all. If you're not trying to be the best in your mind, then you'll never get anywhere, but the tactics....the motivation. You're out of line. When I bring the Masamune down, and cleave the Heaven's with you, I hope that it brings back that humility. I hope that the Tack Angel we all respected can come back and make things right.

6. 6-Man Tag:

Hazen[o]/Ilya Fedorovich/Radzi Schrieffer beat Mav Valentine/Picky Minch/Subculture[x] via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin

-Main event time as "Blood 4 Blood" faced off with the "War Kings" in 6-Man Tag action. Ilya Fedorovich laughed with manic eyes as he swung around the EBW Challenge Championship he won from Trevor Mach, injuring the "Bad Man's" neck in the process. Technical mastery, and heated brawls in this bout, the best kind of pairing. Picky was riding high on his Gold Medal win at Collision, and had a Bushido-esque back and forth with Radzi, before tagging in Hazen, while Picky tagged in Subculture. Radzi and Ilya went to work outside, goading Mav and Picky with trash talk, while Subculture peppered Hazen with hard shots. He set up for the KO Punch, but Hazen dodged it, and Subbie ended up punching an exposed turnbuckle. As he clenched his hand, Hazen took him to the mat with the Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver. Subbie had a foot on the ropes, but Ilya knocked it off as the ref counted the 3.

Tommy Dukes: The "War Kings" had the strategy here, but I don't think that was enough to keep Subbie down. Thanks to Ilya, we'll never know, as the new Challenge Champion took his foot off the rope. They're attacking! The Kings went after "Blood 4 Blood" while they were trying to help Subculture! This is-




Tommy Dukes: What is that music?! Wait look at the big screen! A car is just barrelling into the building! It's swarmed by Lakitus! What is going on here?!



Trevor Mach: Fashionably late? I gave that Lakitu 5 seconds to move, and he took 10. I wasn't medically cleared to compete, but this Gold Medal here says that I can fight just fine, and this other Medal says I need to help out a brother in need. Tack apparently made this night all about himself, but I'm here for you Ilya, and I'm on my way. Ready or not.

Trevor kicked open a set of doors towards the ring, and found himself face to face with Golvoth. The two traded punches, until Trevor grabbed a fire extinguisher off the wall. He sprayed Golvoth and smashed him in the head with the extinguisher, before running out to the ring to join his "Blood 4 Blood" brothers. Together, "Blood 4 Blood" sent the "War Kings" packing from the ring.

Trevor Mach: You're not used to that shit are ya? Getting tossed from the ring? Get used to it, because I'm about ready to bury your asses, like my name and reputation would tell you. I'm a "Bad Man" Ilya. I may not have constellation size ego, but I know I can kick your ass. You guys have been dominating, and walking your own path since you got here. That's cool. That's perfectly fine. You've been cruel, but fair, and that's just the way I am. I may walk to a different beat, but I walk on. I walk the way I want to walk. I have my own morals, and they fit my lifestyle. I see that look in your eyes, and I get the same vibe. You know, some dickbag wants an apology from me, but he's not going to get it. You on the other hand, I will apologize. I'm sorry that I gave you the impression that you can beat Trevor Mach. I'm going to rehab my neck. I'm going to train hard, and in a Bushido Rules Match, INSIDE THE BUSHIDO DEN, I'm going to take back that Challenge Championship. I'm going to give the "War Kings" the first of many many losses to come. It will be blood for blood.

Ilya Fedorovich: Funny funny Eagleland scum. You want rematch? You get rematch! I put you in wheelchair. I hurt you bad! Hahaha!

Tommy Dukes: Well there we have it. Trevor with the save there, and now Ilya is accepting that challenge for the Challenge Championship. Boy, I guess he'd have to right? The name of the title and all. The workhorses want to work, and I'm hearing in my headset that the match WILL take place at the Fourside Arena, in our next big ENN+ event, titled Kingdom Come. In the main event, Tack Angel will be challenging Benjamin for the Triple Crown World Championship! We have a poster and music already!? Damn, you guys work fast! We'll find out more as the weeks go on, but we'll see you next time for Xperience!
