Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* Tangelo again. How do. It's been an exciting time to be a wrestling fan hasn't it? With the recent activity in EBW, and the Independent circuit becoming re-energized and profitable once again. We have also seen the start of an annual tradition with Collision: The World Games. Several promotions took home medals, and the fact that they avoided an EBW shut out, speaks volumes to the abilities of these performers fighting for relevance in a very very busy sport. We have some interesting news, regarding the Unified World Championship. If you're not from Mid-South, and you haven't found their youtube channel, then you missed a big moment in wrestling history. Barry "The Master" Lawless battled Johnny Starbound for his Unified World Championship. Barry was used to being the top guy in the promotion, but Starbound shocked the world when he beat Flying Man for the title right after he had won it.



Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* Barry "The Master" Lawless upset the young upstart, hitting the Piledriver to win the match and the Unified World Championship. Starbound was still reeling from Collision, and his confrontation with Tack Angel, and that may have played a part. After the match Barry "The Master" Lawless said that he would travel to EBW if need be to make sure that Bashin Dan got the match he deserved. However, this brought out Magnum PT, with his old friend Dirty Dick Wagner. He said that he was there with Dan's blessing to challenge Barry for that title instead. Bashin Dan had other things to focus on at the moment. Barry of course accepted, and it looks like PT will be splitting his time between EBW and Mid-South now, another advantage of the working relationships currently going on around Eagleland.

1. Unified World Championship: Barry "The Master Lawless beat Johnny Starbound(c) via Piledriver -> Pin -> NEW Unified World Champion!

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone* So that other business Bashin Dan had to deal with. It turns out, it had to do with Razorblade, the man from VBW that sabotaged Dan's drug test for Collision. The word is that he's being stripped of the EBW Television Championship. After a title defense against Mr. Andrews, Razorblade pulled out a trashcan, and set a fire inside of it. He then grabbed the EBW Television Championship.

-

Razorblade: You see this? This title? They want this back. I made their golden boy mad, and now I get punished? That's fine by me. This title means nothing to me. It's the belt of the enemy. The VBW Championship means more, and again, I don't even like you people either. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do to this title, what I planned on doing to the Triple Crown. I'm going to light it on fir-

Swift: Like hell you are!



Razorblade: Wow, the EBW President sure does like to "slum it" with the rest of us, when I have something he wants. Oh, and is that Bashin Dan? Here to see the real deal?

Bashin Dan: We're here, because we knew you'd try and trash the title.

Swift: So you're going to hand that shit over, or we're going to have a big problem you and I.

Razorblade: You want this Dan? Another title you can choke defending?

Bashin Dan: No, I'm here for you, and I'm not playing games. What you did was dishonorable and-

Razorblade: Honor? Who gives a shit about honor? You virgin boy scout bitch! It's about survival. You think we have fair fights? No fight is fair. You win by any means. That's how you survive. Right now, I've got something the President wants, and that give me the advantage. That makes me a winner. I feel like a winner, holding this belt over the fire. I'll tell you what. Since you're both here, I'll make you a deal. I'll keep this belt until Xperience, and I'll hand it over, IF you make my match with Dan a No Rules Match. What do you say?

Swift: You think you can-

Bashin Dan: Deal! Just pull that title out of the fire now!

Razorblade: Ha! That was easier than I thought.

Swift: Dammit kid, you didn't need to fold like that!

Bashin Dan: He didn't need to hold the title hostage to get what he wanted. I'm game. I'm more than willing to "survive" if need be. It's another challenge to overcome. Another chance to get stronger. I think you should make it more interesting though Razorblade. If you want to make it No Rules, then why don't you put the VBW Championship on the line.

Swift: Now that's interesting.

Razorblade: You think that intimidates me? Done. It's a VBW Championship match now, which means I AM going to put you in the hospital. You have no idea how to win this kind of match, and it's going to cost you dearly.

Bashin Dan: I look forward to proving you wrong.

Crystal Heaven

Another Lakitu sneaked into the Kingdom. this time dressed as a Pirate, in a stuffed costume, with the parrot on his shoulder being the actual Lakitu. He easily walked by drunk Pirates, who happily waved to him. The Lakitu made his way into the main castle, where sounds could be heard from the next floor. The Lakitu hid around a corner as Tack Angel put on a robe and left his bed room, where several sets of feet could be seen sticking from out of the covers, but whose feet was unknown. Tack walked down the hall into a bedroom, where crying was coming from. He came back out with baby Yuki Angel and cradled her in his arms before he walked out onto the balcony, looking up at the big and bright full moon. He was soon joined by Amy Angel.

Amy Angel: You're up late.

Tack Angel: She needed me.

Amy Angel: I meant before that.

Tack Angel: I have big appetites.

Amy Angel: Of course you do, and why wouldn't you? You're a King, and you deserve everything that you want.

Tack Angel: I deserve everything that I worked for, that I earn. A King is nothing if he just expects things. You always taught me about hard work Amy.

Amy Angel: Well sure, hard work is essential, but it's for those beneath you to get your hands dirty.

Tack Angel: Is that right? Amy, do you remember the day we got married?

Amy Angel: Which time? Haha!

Tack Angel: ...You know what I mean. The first time. Do you remember?

Amy Angel: Of course I do!

Tack Angel: That day, you taught me a lesson I refused to learn at the time, but I've learned it now. Do you remember that?

Amy Angel: How could I, after the wonderful honeymoon we had.

Tack Angel: The honeymoon?

Amy Angel: I mean, it was so much fun, how could I remember every little thing we talked about.

Tack Angel: The lesson, was to always be ready for the unexpected.

Tack set Yuki in a balcony crib, and leaned in to kiss Amy. He pushed her hard against  the balcony rail, when suddenly....

*click*

Amy Angel: What? Was? Handcuffs? Oh, that's kinky Tack.

Tack Angel: Who are you?

Amy Angel: I'm sorry?

Tack Angel: Tell me who you are.

Amy Angel: Tack? You having memory problems again? Poor baby. It's me Amy.

Tack Angel: I know who I'm looking at, but I see someone else behind those eyes. Everyone likes to think I'm naive, but I'm actually very observant when I need to be, and with my family. Also, you made the mistake of helping me watch that footage, but you didn't stick around to see everything I was watching. I binged Amy. I really binged it. It's my life after all. Most people probably missed it, but your behavior changed, right when Uranus and Neptune started snooping around again.

Amy Angel: It's because of the symbito-

Tack Angel: They were supposed to fade into the background, but you, you're still here. You've taken over my wife, and I want her back right now.

Amy Angel: You don't know what you're doing Tack. You're acting crazy! Please!

Tack Angel: If that's the way it is, then I'm going to have to have that symbiote remo-

Amy Angel: Alright fine! I AM Amy Angel, but I'm the Amy Angel from Earth-5! I too had the symbiote, but then those bitches had me killed, and the symbiote had to escape! By complete coincidence it found its way to this Amy Angel.

Tack Angel: .... I want you to let go of my wife right now.

Amy Angel: You don't understand Tack, you need me. You're about to make some big moves that will help you reach your potential. I've seen it before! I can help you!

Tack Angel: You've seen it before? You mean Darkness Angel. I don't remember him, and their is little to no footage, but I wrote something to myself, that I found not too long ago. A reminder and a warning, to never let myself become like Darkness Angel, because his reign lead to ruin. It's funny, I recently had a dream that I was a King of another Kingdom, and that too lead to ruin.

Amy Angel: That's why you need me, to help you make better deci-

Tack Angel: I only need you to leave my wife. I will not make the same mistakes.

Amy Angel: And what if you make all new mistakes? Disastrous mistakes?

Tack Angel: Then that is my right as King. I will not take advice from a harlot bitch, from a failed nightmare. If you won't leave my wife by choice, then I'll just make it happen.

Amy Angel: You won't just be losing me. You'll lose the others too!

Tack Angel: I was never really married to them....or you. Besides, plenty more fish in the sea.

Amy Angel: She can't live without us!

Tack Angel: I'm willing to bet that's a story you concocted. If the symbiote survived the trip here without a host, then the host can survive without a symbiote.

Amy Angel: You bastard! You don't understand! Queen Jupiter has sent a signal! We could entice her here! We could bring an army! We could conquer her and be King and Queen of two Wo-

Tack Angel: I'm not the King of one or two worlds. I'm the "Constellation King". Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested.

Amy Angel: What are you going to do to get me to do what you want. Hit me?

Tack Angel: No, I don't hit my wives, unless they beg me too. However, a little experiment between Amy and myself showed that she doesn't mind a little shock.

Amy Angel: What?

Tack pulled out a taser, and quickly tasered Amy, knocking her out. Degrees appeared out of a side room.

Degrees: Wow, it worked.

Tack Angel: Degrees, I let you stay here, because you look after my family and these people. However, if you kill my wife or this symbiote, there will be nowhere on Earth you can hide from me and my wrath.

Degrees: Don't worry. We'll save the symbiote too. I'm curious as to why you care though.

Tack Angel: Amy will care. If we can eliminate Amy-5 though, I don't think she'll mind.

Degrees: Well...I'll see what I can do.

Tack Angel: Remember what I said.

Degrees: I hear you. I'm a little freaked out, but I hear you.

Tack Angel: .....

Nerma: Nerma here with another edition of EBW World! I'm joined by Chaz Hardcastle who-

Chaz Hardcastle: Let me cut right in here, and get to the point. People, you need to get ENN+, because I have so much planned for it. ENNXXX+++ Gold Tier was my idea as we all know, but we can take it further. EBW isn't just wrestling, it's a life experience, and I'm ready to exploit the lives of the EBW talent for you! Get those numbers up, and the Dark Matches on EBW+ could turn into bikini matches guys. Ladies, I can exploit the guys for you too. We'll have guys like my personal favorite Razorblade come in from VBW, and give you the violence you snuff film enthusiasts crave. Lilly Belle Hopper, you want to see her tits? Of course you do! Get the streaming service! That is where it's at people. STREAMING! EXPLOITATION! I LOVE IT!

Nerma: ....Tess would probably love that guy if she hadn't lost her mind. But yeah, thanks to Chaz, the ENN+ influence is getting stronger. No longer referred to as "Dark Matches", the bouts that take place before Xcite and Xperience are now known as ENN+ Matches. Exclusives, meant to entice you to the streaming service, but don't get the ENNXXX+++ Gold Tier. Don't do it. I put up those electrified bug lamps all over the house, and have so many zapped Lakitus trying to exploit me breast feeding my child. You don't want to see that do you? What Steve? Calls are pouring in? They DO want to see that?! YOU'RE ALL MESSED UP IN THE HEAD! One of them is TOMMY?! DAMMIT HUSBAND! *sigh* We have a packed card for Xcite. A certain jerk King isn't scheduled to appear, but I bet he will. We'll also have a sit down interview with the Triple Crown World Champion Benjamin, and we'll see more of the preliminaries for the EBW Television Tournament. Will the "Skulls & Bones" get involved? I hope not. I really ho- What? A delivery for me? A gift box?! I'M NOT OPENING IT!

Bad Dudes Dojo

Trevor paced back and forth, trying to keep his cool. He sat behind his desk, and pulled open a drawer, revealing a large bottle of bourbon. He pulled it out and stared at it, before ultimately putting it back. He turned on the television, but throwing salt on the wounds, the channel was airing a re-run of Lady M's TV show she was forced to take part in. He quickly turned it back off and turned away, putting his head in his hands. He then thought back a few years prior to moment on the set...

Summers Studio - 2 Years Ago

Trevor Mach found himself banned from the studio, with his face posted all over the place, but a single security guard couldn't really stop a knee to the head. Trevor quickly put on a fake nose, beard, and a hat, sneaking in to check on his wife.

Director: Quiet on the set! We need to do that scene over again.

Lady M's: You're kidding me! We've done it ten times already!

Director: I know, but Tess insists on-

Lady M's: I insist she shove it up her ass! You can too!

Director: Actually, it's the ass we need to talk about. The skirt is sufficiently short enough, but we're lacking...butt glistening.

Lady M's: Butt glistening?

Director: Yes, the light isn't hitting off your backside enough and-

Lady M's: I am literally going to beat you to death with your director's chair. I'm going to kick it over, knocking you to the floor, I'm going to take the chair, and I'm going to-

Director: M's please, I understand, I'm sorry, but you're killing the messenger here. You're under contract to do this remember? Anything she wants, you have to do.

Lady M's: *sigh* I bet she's watching right now too. Tess, you bitch, you think this gets you anywhere? This game you're playing, I really want no part of. You're going to find someday that your life is hollow and empty, while I'm going to be just fine. Just get it over with so I can go home dammit!

Director: Alright then. Butt glistener! You're needed on the set!

Lady M's: You hired someone to do that specifically?!

Director: You're be surprised how much of a mess a union job really can be.

M's was startled at the sound of someone getting hit, but was quickly distracted as a man with an obvious fake nose, beard, and hat knelt down behind her to perform the job of Butt Glistenener.

Lady M's: You're the man for the job huh?

Trevor Mach: The only man for the job.

Lady M's: Is that right?

Trevor Mach: It is.

Lady M's: ...I guess so. You have a familiar touch.

Trevor Mach: I get that a lot. You seem frazzled Mam. Is everything all right?

Lady M's: It will be eventually. This can't last, but some things do. Bonds that make things better.

Trevor Mach: Well...that's very good to hear. Don't worry, I'm almost done.

Lady M's: You don't have to ever stop.....Trevor.

Trevor Mach: How did you know it was me?!

Director: Alright, that's obviously Trevor Mach over there in a beard! The nose even fell off. He was so hypnotized glistening his own wife's butt, he didn't bother to put it back on OR hide the actual Butt Glistener! Get him out of here!

Trevor Mach: Welp, I gotta go. It's been fun.

Lady M's: I'll bet.

Trevor Mach: Everything will be OK. No matter what, you've got me.

Lady M's: I know. That helps.

Trevor Mach: Heh.

Several security guards dragged Trevor kicking and screaming, before chucking him out the back door of the studio.

Trevor Mach: Trevor Mach is blasting off again!

Bad Dudes Dojo - Present Day

Trevor smiled, and felt better for a moment, before his phone rang. He put on the speaker phone.

Trevor Mach: *on the phone* Bad Dudes Dojo.

Tack Angel: *on the phone* Still using that old phone huh? Surprised it's not a rotary phone.

Trevor Mach: What do you want?

Tack Angel: Honestly? More than you can provide, but we'll start with an apology. Take a knee, and tell him you're sorry. Respect my Kingdom.

Trevor Mach: Not a chance man. Not a chance.

Tack Angel: Fine. I will be taking your Dojo though, or should I say OUR Dojo. Soon to be just mine.

Trevor Mach: The hell are you talking about?

Tack Angel: We were business partners remember? My name is on those contracts too. Can you financially keep up the place without me? I know I can without y-

Trevor Mach: You have a Kingdom, what do you want it fo-

Tack Angel: Don't interrupt me! You're always ready to talk over me. That stops now. Any true nation needs an embassy.

Trevor Mach: Oh brother.

Tack Angel: No, we're not brothers, and we never were. I was a fool to take pity on you, but it's not going to happen again.

Trevor Mach: Take pity on me? Where were you before you knew me. What were you going to do? I'm the best friend you could've had, and you fucked that up.

Tack Angel: You're a scummy friend. Absolute garbage at it. I don't need or want that kind of friendship. I don't want betrayal. I want trust and loyalty, and I will have it. I will have the loyalty of everyone that gets in my way now, because we've done it your way, and their way long enough. It's obvious isn't it? The corruption of the world. I just wanted to be happy with my family. I just wanted to be accepted for who I was, but that was too much for a corrupted world. If anyone can purify it, that would be me. Everyone is miserable, and the bonds are breaking all around us. Your bond to Tali for example. She's sick of you, just like I am. She's no better though. You're both garbage people and-

Trevor Mach: ENOUGH! The bond I have with her, is stronger than the bonds you have with every one of those FAKE FAKE FAKE WIVES IN YOUR DAMN HAREM COMPOUND YOU CALL A KINGDOM! *sigh* Just the bantz right?

Tack Angel: It's not fun getting worked by the bantz is it?

Trevor Mach: You'll never know the difference between what I would call the bantz, and what you're doing. I guess that's the problem. A divide we'd never be able to cross. Hey, I doubt very much the court would want to find out that you're calling the person you got a restraining order on.

Tack Angel: It was a business call. Seems we'll be going to court for something else if you're not going to sign over your stake in the Dojo.

Trevor Mach: You know, in that sport we've given our lives to, we settle this kind of shit in other ways.

Tack Angel: The one lesson I was able to take away from Cadmus, is never give your enemy what they want.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* Go fuck yourself Tack.

Trevor hung up the phone and pulled out the bottle again. He got angry and smashed it against the wall, before going out to the gym to repeatedly punch a punching bag. He punched it until his knuckles bled. He stopped a laughed a little, thinking about how Tack of all people was making him lose his cool, before going into the bathroom to clean up the blood.

Amigo's House

The depressed Amigo sat on the floor in front of his television, watching his highlights on ENN+. Kinniku Mike, Magnum PT, Sal Paradise, and Vape all stood at the doorway.

Kinniku Mike: He's been like this for a while. I don't think it's because of the losses either, though they made it worse.

Magnum PT: We THINK. We don't know much about this sort of thing Chief.

Sal Paradise: I know I've been there before, but never this despondent. You said he was trying to jump off a bridge?

Vape: Not trying. He DID it....several times. It wouldn't work though. It wasn't far enough. Even I tried.

Sal Paradise: You what?

Vape: To see if it would work!

Sal Paradise: That's insane!

Vape: I'm not depressed!

Sal Paradise: I never said you were! Wait...are you depressed?

Vape: Not out loud!

Sal Paradise: Oh good....wait.

Kinniku Mike: I got a call this his favorite second cousin passed away in a wheat thresher accident.

Magnum PT: They really ought to ban those things. Someone else could get killed by one at any time.

Sal Paradise: Basically, we don't know how to tell him about it.

Vape: So, you wanted me to?

Magnum PT: He talked to you about trying to jump, so we figure he'll take it easier from you.

Kinniku Mike: I think we lost his trust a little. I mean, we'd totally make jokes about it, but only because we're his friends, and very very immature.

Sal Paradise: It's true, we have problems.

Vape: You must have problems if you've come to me. Don't worry, I know how to handle it. I can be really cool under pressure when I have to be.

Sal Paradise: Good luck. Go cheer up my asset....after you break him down with the bad news. *sigh* I'm bad at this.

Vape slowly walked up to Amigo, and sat knelt down beside him.

Vape: Amigo? Buddy?

Amigo: Yeah?

Vape: You know your favorite second cousin?

Amigo: Yeah?

Vape: .....HE'S DEAD!

Amigo: AHHHH!!!!

Vape: GONE FOREVER! DIED A HORRIBLE, PAINFUL DEATH!

Amigo: AHHHH!!!!

Vape: GONE GONE GONE! JUST LIKE YOUR GOLDFISH!

Amigo: MY GOLDFISH?!

Vape: I JUST RAN HIM OVER WITH MY CAR WHEN I DROVE IN!

Amigo: HOW DID YOU RUN OVER MY GOLDFISH WITH YOUR CAR?!

Vape: IT JUST HAPPENED! I DON'T KNOW HOW! EVERYONE YOU LOVE AROUND YOU IS DYING!

Amigo: AHHHH!!!

Vape: AHHHHH!!!

Magnum PT : Oh yeah, this was a great idea.

ENN+

Tommy Dukes: Wow, those were some awesome matches, but those of you watching on ENN+, you HAVE to now switch over to ENN for Xcite! This getting confusing for anyone yet? I mean, I know that moving a show to another station really confuses the demos sometimes, but you have a button on your remote that should take you to the channel. I mean, you have the streaming service, it's ENN+, so you should probably know how to get to ENN, or else how did you know to get the streaming servi-

Nerma: Wait, is that Tack Angel's theme? What's going on here?

Tommy Dukes; I didn't think he was going to be after-

Nerma: Yeah, those very unkind and rude things he was saying about me. Wanting me to be FIRED?! I'm the voice of EBW! What a jerk!

Tommy Dukes: He's....he's looking right at you as he gets in the ring.

Nerma: Y-yeah....yeah I'm noticing that too.

Tack Angel: Surprised to see me? If you follow closely enough along, you'd know that I said after signing the contract for my match with Benjamin for the Triple Crown, that I wasn't going to show up on Xcite. That's true. I don't intend to. This isn't Xcite after all, it's the ENN+ portion of the evening. I wasn't going to show up at all, but something occurred to me. Nerma, the "voice of EBW", has been nothing but a lying, muck raking, pot stirring, enemy of my family, and it has gone unchecked for years! I've seen the jokes online. "Oh boy, I can't wait to see this Tack vs. Nerma match they keep pushing on television". I've seen it, and it inspired me. Tack Angel keeps promises, like a good King should, and I teach lessons, like a stern King should. Nerma, get in this ring right now.

Nerma: .....

Tommy Dukes: Uh wife, I don't think you should-

Nerma: You know what? Fine! I'll do it! Time we had it out here and now. I'm not afraid of him!

Tommy Dukes: Oh crap. Please be careful honey! *sigh* This is bad. This is really bad.

Nerma: Here I am.

Tack Angel: Yeah, here you are. You have a lot of nerve, spitting in the face of a King.

Nerma: Oh please. Tack, I knew you when you were a nervous, wide eyed kid, getting hit by taxis because you were too scared to cross the bridge and-

Tack Angel: Silence! You know nothing about me Nerma. You know who I was, but not who I am. People grow, and they change. They become the people they are meant to be. I was meant to become this, a man who has principles, and the confidence to back them up. A man who is strong enough to stand against a world that pushes against him. I WILL push back, because I know that who I am, and what I do are just and right.

Nerma: You have a hare-

Tack Angel: I HAVE WIVES! I don't sleep around with people. I don't hook up with one night stands. I make these women my wives, I give them my heart, my time, and they give me children. That is how I choose to live my life, and it has NEVER been your right to judge me. It's never be Trevor's right to judge me. These people, they don't have the right to judge me either. How many of you have cheated on your spouses huh? Nerma, have you-

Nerma: *slap* How dare you. How dare you even think that I could ever cheat on the most sweet, wonderful, and bald man I've ever known.

Tommy Dukes: ...The most bald? Still, I love that woman.

Nerma: You don't get to pass judgement on me.

Tack Angel: That's the difference between us. I do get to pass judgement. I do have that right, as not just a King, but as someone who has taken abuse from you, and from them, for years. Laugh at Tack. Judge Tack. Oh we love Tack the clown. I'm not a clown. You want a clown? Talk to Trevor. I'm not in the wrong either. You want someone making mistakes? Go find Tali in whatever bar that unfit mother has crawled into. I'm there for my family. I love my children. I have a Kingdom full of people that count on me. I am rife with responsibility, while all you have to do is sit there and judge me. You sit there, next to your husband, you lie about me. You're a liar!

Nerma: Am I? Let's go over the facts shall we? Have you been growing your family? Yes. Do you have a cadre of men and women who will do your bidding? Yes. Have you made it clear that you want to conquer and rule? ABSOLUT-

Tack Angel: WRONG! Conquering was not the plan, but I've been pushed to the point where I have to. I need people to kneel, admit they were wrong, but more than that, realize they were wrong to oppose me or in your case judge me in the first place.

Nerma: Oh? You want me to kneel? I don't kneel Tack. I don't bow to anyone. I've let that hurt my job and reputation, but I don't care. I am true to myself, more than you have been apparently if-

Tack Angel: If being true to yourself is being a liar, then it's time to get with the times, the new normal, and change. If you won't, then I will teach you a lesson in humility.

Tack suddenly shot behind Nerma and took her to the mat, trapping her with an arm behind her back.

Tommy Dukes: YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! LET MY WIFE-

Tack Angel: Look Tommy, it's what the masses asked for! These people want this! Tack vs. Nerma right? Are you all entertained!? You love your trash television don't you? That reality crap? Here is some reality for you Nerma. You apologize right now, or you'll leave me no choice.

Nerma: OW! TOMMY! HELP!

Tommy Dukes: YOU GET OFF HER!

Tack Angel: Back away Tommy! I don't want to hurt her, but if you take a step closer I'll have to. It's on you at this point. Your responsibility. Be a good husband to her and stand back.

Tommy Dukes: BASTARD!

Tack Angel: This is ENN+, and the masses love this trash. I could feel up her leg, or grab her ass for views, but that's not what this is about. This about humility. Are you feeling humbled Nerma? I didn't want to do this. That's the truth. I never wanted to have a problem with you. I was hoping your friendship with Makoto would have saved you from this teachable moment, but you wouldn't listen to reason. You just wanted to keep pounding me down, and somehow I'm the bad guy for calling you out. I don't know why I ever tried to do things the "normal way", when it doesn't make sense!

Nerma: I'm not going to apologize! I'm not going to take a knee! Go ahead and break my arm!

Tack Angel: Break your arm? I would never do that to you. You're not a wrestler! You think I'm a monster? No, I'm just going to teach you some manners.

Tack picked Nerma up and put her over his knee. He then proceeded to spank her repeatedly.

Nerma: OW! OW! OW!

Tack Angel: Lying little brats got spanked when they were kids. I guess you missed out. Better late than never.

Tommy Dukes: DAMN YOU TACK! LET HER GO!

Tack Angel: 8-9-10! And one to grow on! There. I'm done.

Tack helped up Nerma, who pushed him away with tears streaming from her eyes. Tommy quickly ran into the ring to check on her, only to then charge Tack Angel, who quickly kicked him in the head, and knocked him to the mat.

Tack Angel: Bad idea Tommy. That was on you.





Makoto Angel: Welcome to...*sigh* EBW: Xcite. No, you're not seeing things, it is Makoto Angel, filling in for Tommy Dukes and Nerma. Why you might ask? Well, if you have ENN+ you'd know, but basically Tack sought out to resolve things, and it got ugly. People, I'm just going to say this. I don't approve of what just happened. I didn't care for that at all. Tack has every right to stand up for himself, but that went too far. Nerma, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. *sniff*

Larry Grim: Don't worry Makoto, you don't have to deal with alone. I'm here.

Makoto Angel: Oh Larry, you knew didn't you?

Larry Grim: Of course, but don't worry about it. We have a show to cover, so let's be professional and do our jobs.

Makoto Angel: *sniffs* Right. You're absolutely right. Well folks, we're going to shake off that horrible ending to ENN+, and talk about what a great Xcite that we have to look forward to. More matches in the Television Championship Tournament, as well as some Women's Singles action, when Kaie takes on Eve, and Erica takes on Lainey Strong. Plus, we'll be hearing from the "Dan Club" regarding not just Benjamin's match with Tack Angel at Kingdom Come, but Dan's match with Razorblade for the VBW Championship. Jammer is still in the running for the Television Championship, and Vape is....there?

Larry Grim: Of course ENN+ had their "featured premium" bouts. Javier Leos shook off a loss to Tomo, by beating Yvgeny, which set off Sazh, who promises to still "Get Javi", for whatever reason. "The Shark Order" beat the "Group now formerly known as Flood Generation", when Rod dropped the leg on Nosan. They are directionless with out Good News Gary, who has abandoned them to try and bring Rains back to his side, to no avail. To be honest, the direction was never good to begin with. It was just about pushing one guy. Rains obviously. Gold with something of an upset, as the newest member of "The Shark Order" beat BeShemoth in a very good match. She's even got her own golden shark mask. The guys came out and hoisted her up and cheered. It was heart warming. What a nice and supportive bunch of heels.

Makoto Angel: Randy no Kachi kept the winning streaking going for "The Shark Order", by easily beating Chad Salad with the No Kachi Cutter in the end. The "War Kings" had Radzi Schrieffer represent them on the show, with a win over Danny Leung, who to his credit, really did try to win. A Delayed Butterfly Suplex showed off the strength of Radzi, and put Danny back in the losing column. The James Sisters actually handed the "Valkyries" their first defeat....on ENN+...should've been an Xcite moment I would think. Ines and Ennea seemingly took a beating for the "Skulls & Bones" before the match, but stuck through it anyways. They don't say much, opting to bow and do their jobs the best they can, but they showed a lot of heart here. A Doomsday Device allowed Jenny to pin Ennea for the win and the title defense. Yep, that was the Women's World Tag Team Championships. It was on ENN+.

Chaz Hardcastle: And you can find more great content on ENN+ going forward! Hell, we might even start having matches AFTER Xcite. We want to build up our library of content! More matches, who cares if some of them don't make sense. Who cares if too many shows and matches absolutely water down the product and sense of importance in matches! We need content baby! Also, we're going to get that risque content really going. I've got new Lakitus ready to go with night vision, heat vision, and...well I don't want to give everything away here. You got to check it out on ENN+!

Makoto Angel: Where did he even come from?

Larry Grim: Xcite is the flagship, don't worry about missing out on this great action people. We're here, we're LIVE, and we're about to TAKE IT TO THE RING!

1. EBW Television Championship Tournament Prelims: Picky Minch beat Vape via Hagen Suplex -> Pin
-The opening match saw Picky Minch take on big man Vape in an awkward clash of styles. Picky's shooter style wasn't very effective against the much larger Vape, who could easily toss him around the ring. However, a big show of strength from Picky saw him actually hit a Hagen Suplex, shaking the ring, and leading to the pin. Picky Minch advanced in the Tournament.

Makoto Angel: Picky is strong!

Larry Grim: He's got a strong base with which to lift, and he actually used Vape's own momentum against him. Good win for the former Challenge Champion. He advances in this competitive struggle for the Television Championship.

2. EBW Television Championship Tournament Prelims: Rains beat Big Shark via Rainsmaker -> Pin
-A bit of an upset here, as both Rains and Big Shark were not only in their biggest match on the main card, but they were in the tournament, AND Rains actually managed to end the winning streak of the big and powerful Big Shark. Rains scared off Baby Shark, which drew the ire of his father Franky and Big Shark. As the referee tried to calm Franky down, Bad News Barry tossed Rains brass knuckles, which he used to clock Big Shark. He then hit a Rainsmaker for the pin and the win. Rains surprisingly advanced.

Makoto Angel: Oh come on! Don't go after Baby Shark! He's so kawaii!

Larry Grim: Rains advances. No, I can't believe it either. It's just like that time he won the #EVER Championship. Who saw that coming? I mean I should have, but I'm trained to assume things aren't going to work out for him. Maybe Bad News Barry found the right formula. Just make him a heel like everyone wanted him to be by booing him all these years. Who knew.

3. Women's Singles: Kaie beat Eve via Celtic Hand Grenade x Northern Lights Suplex -> Pin
-Kaie took on Erica's sister Eve in the next bout. Erica watched from the VIP booth, as Kaie worked over the Onlyfans star with her strong style, smash mouth offense. Eve tried flipping Kaie up and over, but Kaie landed on her feet, hit a kick to the midsection, snap mare, and a running kick. Eve went to the outside to try and catch her breath. Kaie followed her out for a brawl. Eve was simply overwhelmed. Kaie dragged Eve back into the ring for a Celtic Hand Grenade and a Northern Lights Suplex for the pin.

Makoto Angel: And a big win for Kaie there. I was sure Erica would be watching until the end, but I don't see her up the box. I DO however see a gift box next to the chair she WAS sitting in. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. "Skulls & Bones" could be here, or they might not be. They are taking their time and making us guess. All the while Tess has been completely absent. I-

Larry Grim: Wait! Cut to the back!

In the backstage area, four women in jackets and masks were attacking Erica, tossing her into a wall. Bev and Raza showed up to help, but they too were taken to the ground by the "Skulls & Bones". The women left them laying in a pile before walking away and getting on their motorcycles. Driving out of the building.

Makoto Angel: They were here, and they just took out Erica and "Muscle Girl Security"! They are interfering so much in the Women's Division, and I'm afraid they're just getting started. Tess made it clear, she wants them to destroy it.

Backstage...elsewhere

Lily Belle Hopper: Hop hop! Don't fall out of my top! Hehe! Lily Belle Hopper here with "Dan Club"! The cutest bunch of cutie pies in EBW!

Vape: *drools*

Jammer: She was totally talking about you bro.

Vape: Uh-huh. Please fall out of your top.

Lily Belle Hopper: You're silly! Hahaha!

Vape: Yeah...real silly...please let me see them?

Lily Belle Hopper: Benjamin, you're not looking very happy right now.

Benjamin: Should I be? You saw what happened. Tack Angel, I used to respect you, but you've clearly gone to a place I couldn't dare follow. You think you have the right to pass judgement, and you humiliated Nerma! Unacceptable! You all know me, as a simple guy, confused by the modern world, but in no time or place is that acceptable. I don't have a lot that I can say about it. It's too shocking, but if you want to focus on the match, then you know I'll bring my very best. People say I've been stealing the show. I don't know about that, but if that is the case, expect me to do it again at Kingdom Come. I will not bow to a cruel King, and I will not relent the Triple Crown.

Lily Belle Hopper: Wow, you're so attractive when you're serious!

Vape: I can be serious!

Lily Belle Hopper: Dan, you're sporting some bandages. We hear you went to Mid-South for some No Rules training?

Bashin Dan: I want to know what I'm getting involved in. Razorblade wants a war, and I'll provide him with one. It's going to be a tough challenge, and my blood is boiling in excitement. However, I also want to say that I think Tack Angel was really out of line. Benji, we're all going to be supporting you. Us, and all the people out there. We're behind you.

Benjamin: Thank you everyone. You know, I'm behind you too.

Vape: I want to get behind Lily.

Jammer: Dude, you're literally drooling all over the floor. Knock it off! As for me? Consider my Television Championship win a SLAM DU- oh she's gone. *sigh*

4. EBW Television Championship Tournament Prelims: Flying Man<3'dPW> beat Perfect Man<FSW> via Chickenwing Neckbreaker -> Pin
-An interesting match up, that saw Flying Man of 3'dPW take on Perfect Man of FSW, as part of the Tournament for the Television Championship. Perfect Man was all about his goofy antics and grandstanding, and it cost him, as Flying Man escaped the Perfy Plex, knocked Katsuflex off the side of the ring, and hit the Chickenwing Neckbreaker to win and advance.

Larry Grim: And Flying Man advances! The former so called Unified World Champion has a chance to snag an EBW title for 3'dPW if this continues.

Makoto Angel: That Perfect Man reminds me of someone. I can't put my finger on it.

5. Women's Singles: Lainey Strong beat Erica via Roll Up -> Pin
-Erica limped out against Doctor's orders to take on Lainey Strong. Quick takedown by Erica. Front Facelock, but Lainey escaped and Dropkicked her. Back elbow in the corner. Celtic whip, reverse, and Lainey jumped briefly out of trouble and threw some rights. Spinning heel kick got a one count for Strong. Rope run and Erica laid out Lainey with a forearm. Double underhook suplex, and another from Erica for a two count. Erica went to set up for the Air Raid Crash, but Kaie suddenly hit the ring to talk trash. Erica told her to leave, but Lainey took advantage and rolled up the former World Champion for the victory.

Makoto Angel: She did it! Kaie was there, but Lainey didn't let an opening go to waste. She just pinned the former Women's World Champion! Erica is having a tough time, with enemies now on all sides. Still, you have to give her credit for coming out here and putting up a fight. Respect for that much at least.

6. EBW Television Championship Tournament Prelims: Subculture beat Firebrand X via KO Punch x Counter Culture -> Pin
-Main event time, as Subculture took on Firebrand X, in an absolute show stealer. Feeling-out process. Headlock by Firebrand X. Rope run and a block by Subbie. Forearm by Sub, Knee by X, who then dumped the Green Bomber, who landed on his feet. Subculture reentered, and hit a Basement Dropkick that cleared out X and returned the favor. Firebrand X was dominating upon return to the ring. He took Subculture to the corner for some Lariats. He took Subculture to the middle of the ring for a running knee, then worked a Rear Chinlock. Subculture reversed an Abdominal Stretch into one of his own and dropped some elbows, then covered for a one count. Subculture threw some rights to the abdomen, but X reversed and blocked Subculture repeatedly to the corner. Hagen Suplex by X. He set up another, but Subculture reversed and slapped on a Crossface. X blocked so Subbie threw some punches and kicks. Double stomp by Subculture. Firebrand composed himself and the two went into overdrive with hard strikes and slams. Firebrand X went for the Fire Thunder Driver, but Subculture escaped, and hit the KO Punch. X stayed on his feet, only to be battered with another KO Punch and then another, and finally a Counter Culture STO for the pin and the win.

Larry Grim: A great match there, and it took so much for Subculture to finally keep Firebrand down. "Blood 4 Blood" are advancing in this Tournament, and we might even see two of them have to compete. You never know. It's a long road left for these competitors on the way to Kingdom Come, where a new Television Champion will be crowned. We'll see you next time everybody! Goodnight!

Benjamin was watching a repeat of what happened on ENN+ on a monitor.

Benjamin: This is just awful. One day....I'm going to ask someone to explain to me how the little people in this box are able to replay the same events over and over. *sigh*
 
Tommy Dukes: Benjamin!

Benjamin: Tommy? Are you all right?

Tommy Dukes: My head is killing me, and I have a feeling he barely kicked me. Listen though, I need your help.

Benjamin: What is it?

Tommy Dukes: Please show me how to defend myself in the ring. Let me train with you!

Benjamin: Huh? Why?

Tommy Dukes: I'm going to call out that bastard Tack Angel on Xperience.

Benjamin: ....

Benjamin was hard at work with Tommy Dukes, getting him ready for his match with Tack Angel, while Bashin Dan was experimenting with the "No Rules Concept" behind them, constantly trying to call through tables.

Tommy Dukes: That's really distracting!

Benjamin: Don't focus on that, focus on me. I need another sit up out of you Tommy.

Tommy Dukes: This is insane isn't it?

Benjamin: Yes.

Tommy Dukes: This is a really bad idea.

Benjamin: No kidding.

Tommy Dukes: It's just that, Tack disrespected my wife so much. I want to be able to say to my son one day, that I stood up to him. I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I didn't.

Benjamin: I understand Tommy. That's a powerful feeling. Hold onto that feeling. Remember it in the ring. I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I will have your back and-

Tommy Dukes: No, I want to do this alone. Just me and him. I'm.....I'm not going to be afraid.

Benjamin: ...It's alright to be afraid Tommy.

Tommy Dukes: It is? Oh good, because I'm TERRIFIED! Still...I'm going to go out alone.

Benjamin: That's real courage. We're all proud of you.

Tommy Dukes: I just hope that at Kingdom Come, you tear down this illusion he's created, that he's untouchable.

Benjamin: I never give less that my best. A lot of people are hoping I do the same thing. I'd hate to disappoint. It's the most pressure I've felt as the Triple Crown Champion to be honest. This is something different than that match with Razorblade. It's something different altogether.

Tommy, Dan, Jammer, Vape: It's something different.

Benjamin: Huh?

Tommy Dukes: From my desk, I can say something about you. This last year, you went from a lovable underdog, to a deserving World Champion. Your matches are routinely the best on the card. Something finally clicked when you finally decided that this was your new life's ambition. You got behind it 100%, and you, like Dan, have really paved the way forward. If anyone can knock Tack off his high horse, it's going to be you. 

Benjamin: I really appreciate tha-

Bashin Dan: Look out below!

Dan dropped from the ladder onto the table, hitting it, but not breaking it.

Jammer: Oof! Yikes. This ain't it bro.

Bashin Dan: That hurt!

Vape: You just tried to go through a table.

Bashin Dan: But it didn't break! What kind of table is this?!

Jammer: It's an Edo table.

Bashin Dan: It's so strong!

Edo Table: Hehehe....HAHAHAHAHA!

Bashin Dan: The table is laughing!

Jammer: CHEESE IT!

Twoson Mall - Backstage

EMTs were helping up Eve, who was covered in blood as Kaie approached.

Erica: Don't worry Eve, I'll be careful tonight. These bitches don't realize who they're messing with.

Kaie: Something happen?

Erica: Obviously. They went after Eve, to try and break me down even more, but I refuse to be defeated by them. This division is mine, not theirs. Like I said before, we all need to be on the same page, but-

Kaie: I'm with you, when it comes to them. They're dangerous. However, you made it clear it was every woman for themselves, and I'm trying to do this for me, for the first time in a long time. Breaking out from under your shadow is how I do that, and trying to put on the best matches despite them is how I'm going to do that.

Erica: You have resolve, and I know how tough you are, but if we're not careful, we'll lose everything, and very soon. So, now that I'm one partner down, you could do me the favor of filling me in on your partner?

Kaie: You intend on getting another partner?

Erica: If I can. I don't have a long list of allies anymore.

Kaie: Well, that makes two of us. I had to dig deep. I basically needed a body to make sure I could make it to this match, but I'd rather fight alone.

Erica: Perhaps I might just have to go it alone. We reap what we sow. Am I sorry for the decisions I've made? Not for one second.

As Erica walked away, Kaie stared at the ambulance as it drove off. For a brief second, she caught sight of a motorcycle driving in the opposite direction, possibly circling the building. She grabbed a nearby pipe, and made her way outside.





Makoto Angel: Welcome to Twoson! We're back, and we're in the Twoson Mall for Xperience! Last time we were here, we saw the World Games, but now we're on the road to Kingdom Come. Tonight, we'll see a huge show, but we've already had a lot of big ENN+ mat-

Larry Grim: Whoa, slow down Makoto. You're getting right into it tonight.

Makoto Angel: I'm just....trying to keep occupied. I'm a little worried about tonight.

Larry Grim: I can see why. We have an interesting bout tonight. After the events of Xcite, we have Tommy Dukes challenging the "Constellation King" Tack Angel. This is going to be....something.

Makoto Angel: *sigh* Tack was trying to prove a point, but it's getting out of control. Still, I don't like the way he treated Nerma. She's my friend. I love him, but we don't have to agree on everything. That's what I'm trying to learn. It's sad though.

Larry Grim: I'm sorry Makoto. The show tonight should be very exciting. We're moving onto the Quarter Finals of the Television Tournament. We're going to see Nani Angel return to action. We're going to see the "Dan Club" take on Team VBW in No Rules 6-Man Tag action. Of course, with we had ENN+ matches like Makoto was saying. A lot of them. You really are starting to miss out without them. I'm sorry. Rod and Randy kept up the winning streak, against "Faction that used to be Flood Generation". Javier Leos welcomed Sazh's kid Dajh into the ring with a quick win after a Leos Dive. Sazh still vowed to "GET JAVI". This story has been playing out on ENN+ specifically. Takumi and Shiryu ran through Shark #1 and Shark #2, but "The Shark Order" were respectful to the team, shaking hands after the match. Those evil, sneaky heels. Kimber Blaze got a Referee Stoppage on Gold, but "The Shark Order" still came out to congratulate Gold for giving it her all. How nefarious! In the last ENN+ match, Fray Tiburon and Ishihiro Tomo collided in a battle of Brainbusters. A fantastic showing, that saw Tomo-kun get the big Brainbuster on the good Friar for the pin and the win. With that out of the wa-

Chaz Hardcaste: Well done Larry! As you can see, we've had great matches on ENN+, buy you forgot to mention the ring girls in bikinis. The ring boys too, for the ladies out there. I'll exploit either one to make a buck. Why not right? We're ALSO going to have two PREMIUM FEATURE MATCHES on ENN++ AFTER Xperience, so make sure you upgrade your account for that great action!

Larry Grim: *sigh* We're sorry.

Makoto Angel: So sorry everyone.

1. EBW Television Tournament Quarter Finals: Picky Minch beat Rains via Heel Hook -> Submission
-The opening match that was on free television, and you didn't have to pay for it, saw Picky Minch take on Rains in a Quarter Finals match for the Television Championship. Good News Gary kept coming out to try and talk to Rains, but Bad News Barry tried to keep him away. Rains was still distracted enough for Picky to trap him in a Heel Hook, forcing a submission. Picky Minch moves on.

Larry Grim: Just when Rains was gaining ground, Good News Gary seems to have dragged him back into the losing column. Picky Minch moves on, giving "Blood 4 Blood" a better chance of grabbing more gold. Speaking of "Blood 4 Blood" we have Trevor Mach live via satellite from the dojo, but on split screen, we also have the EBW Challenge Champion Ilya Fedorovich. The two have a Bushido Den Match coming up at Kingdom Come, but obviously Trevor has had a lot of other things on his mi-



Ilya Fedorovich: We not here to talk about Tack Angel. The man has respect of the "War Kings". We're here to talk about match, the last mistake Trevor Mach will make in EBW. I hurt him. I hurt him badly.

Trevor Mach: Don't worry Ilya, I'm not split on this issue. I'm looking straight at you. I want my title back, and I'm going to get it back. You think I'm making my last mistake, but I've got so many more mistakes to make. I'm just getting started with the mistakes. I didn't get this far, just to get this far.

Ilya Fedorovich: You Eaglelanders have an ego about you. You think we are so small, and you are so big. You have been proven wrong time and time and time again. We are undefeated. We are the best.

Trevor Mach: Don't pull the "Eaglelanders" bullshit here Ilya. This ain't about national pride. This is about me kicking your ass. You beat me before, but one fight isn't enough to keep me down. Fighting is my therapy. It's my "nirvana". I got a lot of anger swirling around right now, and I need something to punch, kick, choke, and knee in the face. Lucca wants me to choke her, and she's making it weird, but I'm setting that aside. Not talking about it. Trying to get it out of my head! I'm not going to worry about her. I'm not going to worry about Tack. Like I said, I'm looking straight at you.

Ilya Fedorvich: You are no different that others. They step up. They get hurt. We hurt people who get in our way. EBW is weak and pathetic. Just like man hiding dojo. Just like man's wife who ran away. I RELISH OPPORTUNITY TO PUT YOU IN A WHEELCHAIR! How strong is neck? We will find out.

Trevor Mach: I want you to find out, but look at me, and understand something. Don't you ever disrespect me or my wife, or my home! EBW is my home! I might not POP for the place I'm from, but EBW is running in my veins. You might see it, when you make my blood flow, and when you do, you look into my eyes, and see that you're not gonna break me down. You don't going to beat me! I will NOT relent! I will not stop! If I collapse, I will crawl at you and try to choke the life out you! If you rip out my eyes, I will swing for the fences until I hit you! You're intense. You've got the killer instinct in your eyes. That's good. Let's get something straight. Fifteen years of a constant war, and you think you're the one who is going to beat me once and for all? You're dreaming. You're going to get a fight Ilya, and you bring your best, because if you don't, and you disrespect me by blinking, I'm going to bury you where you stand. Ilya, I'm tired of making stars. I AM a star. I'm a "Bad Man", and I'm looking right ya pal.

Ilya Fedorovich: Bring it Trevor Mach. You are slighted man. You are dangerous man. Dangerous to all....but "War Kings".

-

Larry Grim: Well there you have it. Ilya Fedorovich and Trevor Mach will be battling over that Challenge Championship in the Bushido Den. That's going down at Kingdom Come. You don't want to miss it, that'll be in Fourside ,at the Fourside Arena. The same night we'll see Bashin Dan challenge Razorblade for the VBW Championship, but that's later on, because tonight, we have Benjamin, our Triple Crown Champion, Bashin Dan, and Jammer taking on a team from VBW, let's-wait....no...something else is happening. Something bad. I'm being told that....we're going to commercial....because it's an ENN+ exclusive?! What?!

Makoto Angel: What is going on with thi-

ENN+ Exxxclusive! Parking Lot

Chaz Hardcastle: Chaz Hardcastle here, in the parking lot, where four women have just given out a beating to Kaie and Erica, but they're not the reason for the ENN+ sauciness. This might even go to ENNXXX+++ levels, so get that tier upgrade! The four masked ladies, who I am told are the "Skulls & Bones" have absolutely battered this woman named Sylvie, who I'm told was scheduled to be coming back as Kaie's partner tonight, but now she's being stripped, beaten, and chained to the back of a bike! Get the camera off me! On them! On them!



?: *voice distortion* Pathetic. Is this all you have to offer up? We've come to take you apart, and take everything for ourselves. You don't put up much of a fight, because you all distrust each other. That's fine. We're fine with that. It makes it a little too easy, but we'll get what we came for. If we have to take it in blood, we'll take it in blood. You all seem to have blood to spare. We're not playing games, just picking spots. We wanted to see what you'd do, and we're not impressed. Reality is here. You're going to have to face that. This division is over, and whatever is left is ours. This little bitch, who made a name for herself stripping naked on LIVE television, doesn't understand yet, that her pain is just beginning. Humiliation is a mental scar, but we go for the works. Scars in the mind, the body, and the soul. Hit it.

The tallest member of the "Skulls & Bones" got on the motorcycle, revved it up, and drove away, dragging a screaming Sylvie.

?: *distorted voice* Don't worry, she'll live.....to tell you all about it. Then again....maybe she won't. You ever read your contracts ladies? Murder IS on the menu.

2. Women's Tag: Kaie/? vs. Erica/?

Makoto Angel: I can't believe what we've just seen! Sylvie had her clothes torn apart, and she was dragged across the ground on that motorcycle! This is beyond sick! Can we please get someone to help her!

Larry Grim: Police and EMTs are on the way I'm being told. We'll give you more information as we get it. It seems Kaie and Erica thought themselves strong enough to handle the problem, but they weren't watching each other's backs, and they've got no one else in EBW who will currently do it for them.

Makoto Angel: Ladies, you want to survive this? You want the division to survive? Don't do this. You need to look out for each other. This is getting beyond serious.

3. EBW Television Tournament Quarter Finals: Subculture beat Flying Man<3'dPW> via KO Punch x Counter Culture -> Pin
-The next match saw Subculture take on Flying Man of 3'dPW, in another Quarter Finals bout in the Television Tournament. Flying Man is really taking his role as 3'dPW ACE to heart while representing his company, giving the "Green Bomber" a run for his money, but a well timed KO Punch and the Counter Culture were enough to keep the former so called Unified World Champion and current 3'dPW Inter-Species Champion down for the count.

Makoto Angel: I like Flying Man. I don't know what it is, but I've always thought he was totally cool.

Larry Grim: Is it because he looks like a giant stuffed animal to you, and you want to squeeze him?

Makoto Angel: *blushes* N-nooooo?

Larry Grim: Good showing by Flying Man, but "Blood 4 Blood" continue their roll in the Tournament thus far. The band of brothers are looking to claim the title, but we're not done here, as it looks like Subculture has something to say.

Subculture: I'm going to keep this very short and sweet. Tack, you and I don't get along. I've never wanted to be considered your "family", and I probably never will. Christina, she's my family, but you are not. You've tried to include me, but I think it was more often than not to make me feel weird. You were low key dick, but now you're just flaunting how much of a dick you are, and I'd rather you give it a rest. I've only ever made one promise to you. I promised that I would take care of your daughter with everything that I have. I will always keep that promise. I'm going to make you another one though, right here and now. You keep disappointing her, and I'm going to beat the shit out of you!

Larry Grim: Mic drop! Nothing else needs to be said!

Makoto Angel: I think I'd like to say something about that!

4. Singles:

Tack Angel beat Tommy Dukes via Kicks to the Head -> Referee Stoppage

-The next match saw Tommy Dukes standing up for his wife, as he challenged Tack Angel to come out to the ring. Triple Crown World Champion Benjamin tried to follow him out, but Tommy asked him to stay in the back, and watch with his wife Nerma, who was also pleading for him not to go. Tommy wasn't in the best shape, but he looked like he had dropped some fast weight, sweating it out in the gym the last couple of days, showing his resolve. Tack Angel came out with all of his fanfare, joined by new wife Rose Angel, the half-sister of Lady M's. He planted a big kiss on her, before heading to the ring.

Tack Angel: Tommy, this is ridiculous. You're going to get hurt. We can make this very simple. All you have to do, is understand that you were wrong, and you should have never tried to stand against me. You and Nerma brought this on yoursel-

Tommy Dukes: Sh-shut up Tack! Just shut up! I don't care what you say about this. You put your hands on my wife! MY WIFE! HOW DARE YOU! You say actions have consequences, and this is it. I'm....I'm going to kick your ass!

Tack Angel: Heh. You will address me as your Highne-

Tommy punched Tack in the face, as the crowd gasped.

Tack Angel: More disrespect. *spits blood* Good punch Tommy, but like you said, actions have consequences.

Tack kicked Tommy in the head. Dukes backed into a corner, as Tack kicked and punched at him. Tommy kept his head down as he tried to fight back, but Tack gave him his first bump with a Suplex, then another, and then another. He slapped Tommy on top of his very bald head.

Tack Angel: How does that feel Tommy? This isn't as easy as it looks right? That hurts? Good. Let it hurt. Let it remind you of what you've done. Someone else that has spent years making fun of me. Spent years making fun of my family, and my title as KING! Go ahead! Say something else! You and your wife BOTH have been nothing but trouble for me! You tell the hicks what to think, and the hicks lap it up, because they won't think for themselves! They won't see that I'm right, and that I'm a good and decent person and King! I've been nothing BUT benevolent, but you won't let me reign without WAR!

Tack kicked Tommy over and over.

Tack Angel: APOLOGIZE! KNEEL! ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG! I DIDN'T WANT THIS TOMMY! I DIDN'T WANT IT! YOU MADE ME DO THIS! The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be. You want to get back to business? You want access to the Angels? You want a seat at my table? APOLOGIZE!

Tommy Dukes: ....N-NO!

Tack Angel: *sigh* Your call. Everybody hear that? I wanted to stop, but he wants more. I'll give you more!

Tack kicked Tommy again, and again, and again. Finally, the referee stoppage the match, giving it to Tack, but he was ready to kick Tommy again, until a crying Nerma ran into the ring and got in the way.

Tack Angel: The show of love is nice, but Nerma, I'm GOING to kick you, if you don't move, and THEN I'm going to kick Tommy. I have a lesson to teach you BOTH!

Nerma: NO! PLEASE! JUST STOP! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! You're right! I should have never gone against you! I was wrong to do it! I'm so sorry!

Tack Angel: Humility? From Nerma: Never thought I'd see the day. How can I know you're being honest. I'm surrounded by liars! Prove your fealty! Kneel.

Nerma: Wha-

Tack Angel: I SAID KNEEL!

Nerma sobbed as he got on her knees before Tack Angel. Nani Angel appeared in the ring and made her get closer. She knelt before him as Tack soaked in the boos around him. A livid Benjamin stood on the stage, gritting his teeth, desperately waiting for his chance to get his hands on the "Constellation King".

Tack Angel: I know you're back there Benjamin. Don't act like this is my fault. You "trained" him. You made him think he had a chance. You brought this on him, and on yourself. Actions....have consequences. You'd better be ready to kneel when I take those titles, because I'm Heaven sent, but Hell bent.



5. Women's Singles: Nani Angel<Crystal Heaven> beat Lt. Lacy Wagner via Manji-Gatame -> Submission
-Nani Angel didn't have to go far, as Lt. Lacy Wagner came out to face her next. Nani has been making a comeback as a free agent representing Crystal Heaven, working around that Angel wife ban in EBW. Wagner was fired up after what happened to Nerma and Tommy, and tried to work Nani into the corner, but Nani spit a blinding mist into her face, reminiscent of her Nanimura days, and worked over Lacy's extremities, before locking in the Manji-Gatame. Trapped in the center of the ring, Lacy Wagner had no choice but to submit.

Larry Grim: Nani Angel with the win. She's looking great. She didn't even have that strong a mid-section before she had kids, and that mid-section really helps her get the stretch in on that Manji-Gatame.

Makoto Angel: Yeah....Tack has been having us all work on the mid-sect-*sigh* Excuse me. I have to.

Larry Grim: Makoto?! Where you going? I mean I know...but for the sake of the fans.

6. No Rules 6-Man Tag: Benjamin/Bashin Dan[o]/Jammer beat Mr. Andrews<VBW>[x]/Caveboy!<VBW>/Mr. Scary<VBW> via Top Rope Brave Clash through Table -> Pin
-Main event time, as the "Dan Club" assembled to take on the team from VBW. Before the match, Razorblade attacked Bashin Dan in the back, putting him through a table. The Triple Crown Champion and Jammer had the numbers game against them in a big brawl. Benjamin out worked the veterans, but a chair shot from Andrews had him on the ropes, while Jammer sacrificed himself with a big splash onto Caveboy! and Mr. Scary. A bleeding and limping Bashin Dan made his way out finally and asked Benji to set up a table. He carried Andrews to the top rope and hit the Brave Clash to get the pin and the win.

Larry Grim: Amazing! What a brawl, and a good win for Bashin Dan. Razorblade tried to show he wasn't able to handle the hardcore life, but I think he is. Dan's heart, burning brighter than ever. We'll see you-

Chaz Hardcastle: In just a few minutes on ENN++ for those PREMIUM MATCHES! YEAH!

Larry Grim: *sigh*

Parking Lot

Tack was heading back to his limo, when Makoto cut him off.

Makoto Angel: Tack! We have to talk!

Tack Angel: Makoto? Are you all right?

Makoto Angel: No! No I'm not! What are you doing? You were going to kick Nerma!

Tack Angel: My love, she was in the way. I didn't ask her to get in my way.

Makoto Angel: You're losing people. They're going to have a hard time believing in you if you kick a woman to get to her husband that you already beat.

Tack Angel: *sigh* I believe....in myself. Do you believe in me?

Makoto Angel: Of course I do. I always will.

Tack Angel: If my wives believe in me, and the people of Crystal Heaven believe in me, and I believe in myself, then I have enough to see me through the torrent of misinformed masses. Look, I wish I could better remember all of our time together. I would give so much to have all that back, but I've seen it....I've seen you help me realize my potential, of what I truly am, but I wouldn't listen, not completely. I tried to go half way into it, but now, I'm all in Makoto. I believe that I'm right, no question about it. These people, who have given me nothing but grief for years, need to realize that too. Talk to Nerma, make sure she's all right, and remind her of something very important. Don't ever insult the family ever again. Tell her that for me please?

Makoto Angel: *nods*

Tack Angel: I love you. Thank you Makoto.

Makoto Angel: ...*sigh*
