Tannen Hotel and Casino - Sin City

Trevor lay in bed tossing and turning. In his dream he saw himself stand on a dark surface, seemingly in space. He stared forward, gazing into infinite of the universe, and from behind came a voice.

?: How long are you going to keep this up?

Trevor Mach: What?

?: You're not supposed to be here. You died.

Trevor Mach: I died. I WAS death.

?: And death will haunt you again. Remember your past, it will return. HE will return.

Trevor looked down to see his chest agape and bleeding, as if pierced with a large sword. He woke up next to a sleepy Tali, covered in cold sweat. He took in a deep breath and cleared the haze from his eyes as he looked around the room. He tried to control his breathing, while clutching his chest and feeling a phantom pain. The images refused to leave his head, until Tali turned to her side and snapped Trevor out of his stupor. He lifted the sheet to cover her, but stopped to admire her. He shook out of his other stupor, thanked God for her hips, kissed her shoulder and put the sheet back on. He sat up against the bed frame and tried to make sense of the vision, but tried to ignore it as a bad memory coming back to haunt him. It had been years now since it had happened, and not nearly as long since he remembered. The burning planet. The destruction. A villainous Tack Angel murdering him, and being tossed out into the endless Void. He thought about it more and laughed at the irony. At least this Tack wasn't trying to murder him, but he'd still stop at nothing to make his Tack pay for his reign of terror, and the threats he had made to his family. He mind jumped back and forth from thought to thought as it always did, until Tali turned again and clutched on him in her sleep. He looked down and ran his fingers through her hair. Somehow, that was always able to relax him, give him focus again. In no time at all, he drifted back to sleep.

Days Later...

Ula'ula Beach

Bashin Dan was sitting on the beach as the sun came over the sand. A bright morning would lead to a hot night, perfect for the E1 Climax. Dan was shuffling his deck, as Hope arose beside him from sleeping bag.

Bashin Dan: Good morning.

Hope Mach: Morning Dan. Have you been up long?

Bashin Dan: Just a little while.

Hope Mach: You didn't do anything to me while I slept did you?

Bashin Dan: No, I'd never do that!

Hope Mach: *sigh* Yeah, I know. Well that'll change soon I hope. We still have so many plans to make. I'm so excited.

Bashin Dan: Uh...yeah! Me too! For what again?

Hope Mach: Ha! Dan, you're hilarious! I'm going to go swim. Want to come help me change into my bikini?

Bashin Dan: What?! *slight nose bleed* Hope, I-

Hope Mach: I know. I know. It's just bantz....for the pants. It's pantz. A phrase my Mom came up wi- you know nevermind. I'm gonna go.

Bashin Dan: *sigh* Have fun. I wish I knew what she was talking about.

Mav Valentine: I know what she's talking about.

Bashin Dan: Ah! Mav, what are you doing here?!

Mav Valentine: What? A guy can't eat a soft pretzel at the beach? I have hobbies dammit. I do things. I don't sit around, mulling over being World Champion again....ALL THE TIME. Anyways, I know what she was talking about.

Bashin Dan: If you tell me, I'll buy you another soft pretzel.

Mav Valentine: You think I can't buy my own pretzels?

Bashin Dan: No, I didn't mea-

Mav Valentine: I'm kidding! Relax! I will be HAPPY to tell you what she's talking about. Quite frankly, I'm surprised even you haven't figured it out yet. I mean I was there. It was here in Aloha. The exchanged glances? I was looking back and forth between you, and I just had this idea in my head that you have NO CLUE.

Bashin Dan: I still don't!

Mav Valentine: Get your head out of your deck Dan! You know what? I'll tell you, but on one condition. You have to beat me today. Yeah, we're the top match in the Climax. You beat me, and I'll tell you. You don't beat me, and then not only will I not tell, but yes....yes I will take you up on that soft pretzel. Now that I think about it, I think I left my bank card back at the hotel!

Bashin Dan: You'll tell me if I beat you?

Mav Valentine: Look Dan, you and I were supposed to be battling for the belt until Tack changed the paradigm again. You and me or me and Benji, but still, I was supposed to be in the mix! I want back in! I want to have the best matches! I want to beat the best opponents. I want the Bashin Dan that has managed to become a 6-Time World Champion! In FACT, you're the one that lead me to my current situation. It's only right that I use you to get back to where I want to be. You understand?

Bashin Dan: *nods* I understand everything. *understands nothing*

Mav Valentine: So?

Bashin Dan: Looks like...I have to beat you then?

Mav Valentine: If you want to find out! Yes!

Bashin Dan: Well that's a relief, cause I was already going to do that anyways!

Mav Valentine: Finally, something I want to hear, I mean it's WRONG, but I appreciate the effort. Bring your best Dan. No excuses.

Bashin Dan: No excuses....but a lot of questions.

Mav Valentine: I know...*sigh* I know.

Ula'ula Beach

Good News Gary: Good News everyone! Get those pinkies up, cause Good News Gary is here with The Shark Order to host the Preshow for Xperience! The E1 is off and running, but my new friends, that helped me to overcome a great loss, are dealing with a loss of their own. How are we going to deal with it?

Shark #1: FRANKY IS LEAVING! I'M FREAKING OUT!

Gold: Calm down #1!

Shark #1: Ah! Right! Sorry!

Gold: Everyone, just take a deep breath. Breathe in.....and breathe out.

Shark #2: That feels nice.

LG Rod: I remember when I couldn't breathe.

Randy no Kachi: Yeah that was weird right? I guess that's why I feel for the Zombies living in denial.

Gold: Alright team, we need to figure out what we're going to do going forward. One of our leaders has become a Mayor, and I think that's great right? We're all happy for him RIGHT?

Shark #1: She's great isn't she? Like a big sister.

Shark #2: You're way older than she is.

Shark #1: So are you.

Shark #2: ...Are you saying I'm losing my hair?

Shark #1: What hair do you have left to lose?

Baby Shark: Guys! Don't worry! My Dad is still going to support us from a far, but in the meantime, I'm going to run the show full on! I've had lots and lots of practice lately! It's all good!

Randy no Kachi: Well kid, we LOVE having you as Boss, but we're worried about protecting you from the "Not Zombies".

LG Rod: What happens if they come after you next? I mean Anwin already bit into Chad Salad, Misogynist Paul, Robert Sandwich, and Rains!

Danny Leung: He tried to bite me too.

Gold: Danny? Are you OK? Did he actually do it?

Danny Leung: *sigh* No. I think I was too depressed. Even a Zombie in denial saw that much.

Gold: Oh no, not this again. Why are you sad Danny? Not become of Nani right?

Danny Leung: No, it's just this time of year I'm reminded of the beginning of the "No Push Movement" that sent her into Tack's arms in the first place. *sigh* It's my fault. I shouldn't have said No Push like a bunch of times. I wouldn't have buried myself.

LG Rod: Dude, you un-buried yourself just LIKE the Zombies! Haha!

Danny Leung: ...Heh.

Gold: So we're all in agreement that Danny is loved in The Shark Order and Baby Shark is going to be our Boss right?

Everyone: RIGHT!

Danny Leung: Thanks guys. I second that too. Baby Shark, you're in charge.

Baby Shark: You're all seriously going to let me boss you around? You're weird adults! I like that!

Randy no Kachi: Still though, Rod made a good point. What IF they come for the kid?

Big Shark: ...*clears throat*

Randy no Kachi: It's like I totally forgot about this giant dude! He just stands there all imposing like.

Baby Shark: Big Brother Shark will protect me! YEAH!

Shark #1: He's like us, but bigger.

Shark #2: I used to be that big!

Shark #1: You did? You lost nearly 2 feet of height?

Shark #2: Yeah well...you know....disc compression and....stuff.

Shark #1: Uh-huh.

Good News Gary: Well that settles it! The Shark Order will carry on! GOOD NEWS! Let's take you to the ENN+ Premium Matches!

EBW: Xperience Preshow!
Ula'ula Beach, Ula'ula
ENN+

0. ENN+ Premium Match Singles: Point Man beat Pineapple Pizza Man[Debut] via Cobra Clutch -> Submission
-The overly popular and cool Point Man introduced local wrestling hero Pineapple Pizza Man to an EBW ring for the first match. Think Curry Man, but he's got Pineapple Pizza on his head instead of curry. His tights also said "Sweet and Salty". The match outcome isn't the surprise, as the reliable Point Man choked him out with the Cobra Clutch. No, the story here, is that it appeared that Tack Angel, the 4-Crown King himself, kicked Pineapple Pizza Man in the head the moment he got to the back, saying that he "shouldn't exist". Wow, that's harsh.
0. ENN+ Premium Match Women's Tag: Wendy Mustang[o]/Moira Lees beat Hilda Iceheart/Korra via Slingshot Flipping Lariat -> Pin
-An oddly fitting pain in Wendy Mustang and Moira Less beat Hilda Iceheart and Korra, but not from lack of trying on Hilda's part. The cold and methodical ice queen seemed more of a potential wife opportunity for Tack Angel, and Korra wasn't exactly thrilled by that, so she kept tagging in to try and show her up. The bragging and totally super straight Korra got jaw jacked by a very mouthy Moira, who tagged in Wendy, who hit the Slingshot Flipping Lariat for the pin.
0. ENN+ Premium Match Women's Singles: Lainey Strong beat Gold via Corkscrew Supex -> Pin
-The PRESHOW Main Event, saw Lainey Strong return to action to take on Gold. Solid match up, that saw The Shark Order trying to recruit Lainey Strong on account of Baby Shark being a fan, but she made it clear she was Dan Club all the way, specifically the Benjamin part of Dan Club I'd assume. Lainey escaped a Golden Exploder attempt and came back with a Corkscrew Suplex for the pin and the win.

Baby Shark: Oh no! Gold, are you all right?

Gold: I've been better, but I've been worse too. It's all about finding your center.

Baby Shark: Gosh, you sure are smart, and very pretty.

Gold: Thanks, but I'm the big sister girl member of the team. We haven't found the girl member into SS yet.

Baby Shark: Oh right.

Gold: Back to the drawing board.

Danny Leung: Want my help icing down?

Gold: Uh...no thanks.

Danny Leung: *shrug* Well worth a shot? Let's take to Xcite, where they always say YES PUSH!

Ula'ula Beach

Tack Angel received an Aloha welcome to the beach, as several hula girls put flowers around his neck.

Tack Angel: The King is grateful for the respectful welcome.

w00t: Not bad eh Tack? You just got here, and you're already getting lei'd.

Tack Angel: ...Did you talk to them?

w00t: I spoke to both of them already yes. I think something can be worked out if you wish to consolidate power and establish your order as the true order around here. It's as simple as getting two men to kiss the ring as it were.

Tack Angel: Well then, let's do that.

w00t: You sure you want to go down this path with them?

Tack Angel: I'm not going down any path w00t. People go down the path that leads to me now.

w00t: Damn, that's a good one. You really have come into your own.

Tack Angel: Remember that for when you attempt to stick in the knife and twist.

w00t: I admit to thinking about it a few months ago, but after everything I've seen, I have to admit, I'm that much more impressed. When I say you have my respect, I'm being honest for change.

Tack Angel: That's good...for you. If you ever try to screw me over again, you'll be eating all your meals through a straw. Don't make me do that w00t. Don't ever cross that line again.

w00t: Wouldn't dream of it. Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my best friend. I have no problem kissing the ring myself. You have another one that's already made it clear which side he's on. We get the other name and we have everything.

Tack Angel: I don't need them, as much as they need me. You will all sit at my table, if you want a piece of the Kingdom.








Larry Grim: Welcome to the Beach of Ula'ula! Even more reason for me to watch out for my poor bones! The summer is almost over right? I mean technically it is already, but it never ends in Aloha apprently! How am I sweating?

Makoto Angel: The E1 Climax continues tonight with some awesome bouts Golvoth taking on Javier Leos, Takumi Inui taking on Brandish X, Jaden Yuki going head to head with Benjamin, and Mav Valentine taking on Bashin Dan. This could really mix things up with the points! Speaking of the E1 Climax though, we have....*sigh* bad news.

Larry Grim: Kinniku Mike has not been cleared to compete in the rest of the E1 Climax. In fact, he's not cleared to compete in the near future. A harsh concussion from Tack's kick has left his in-ring future in question.

Makoto Angel: *sigh* I don't THINK Tack meant to do that, but please, don't upset him like that guys. He did that much damage and he didn't even take his kick pad off. He wears those to protect you! He's a generous King as long as you respect him, I promise!

Larry Grim: Just don't have him kick me. I'd be a pile of bones in no time, and it takes a while to put myself back together. *looks the camera* I'm a skeleton, that's where the jokes come from. You can't expect them all to be winners.

Makoto Angel: The rest of his matches will be forfeit unfortunately, but we've received word that big matches are already in place to cover for those lost opportunities. We wish the best in Mike's recovery. We know that Isiah Muscle wants to have another match against Tack, and to him I say, please wait a while and think it over. Please?

Larry Grim: We now go to an "odd" match type. A little further down the beach, a cave has been coverted into a grotto, where Tack and his wives, NOT named Makoto, are sitting around, swimming like Nero and his little fishes. That's a historical reference. I was there. It will be there that Hazen and Ilya will fight, as the Crusaders explode. Ilya wants to take control of the former War Kings, and bring them back to their roots, while Hazen seems fully ready to pledge full allegiance to the Crystal Kingdom. Without further ado, let's take it to-WHOA!

Makoto Angel: What?!

Larry Grim: Look! We can't cut to that! Nani is dangling from the ceiling by her nip-her....you know.

Makoto Angel: Eep! Why?!

Chaz Hardcastle: Don't worry folks, it's all part of the plan! A grotto is supposed to be a place of lurid temptations and sexuality, and Nani herself volunteered to impress Tack with her loyalty. She will be black boxxed on the normal broadcast, but you all know how to see a bit more *wink*.

Larry Grim: Yikes! That makes my chest hurt and I don't even HAVE....those! Would you do something like that Makoto?

Makoto Angel: *blush* I mean...if Tack wanted me to.

Larry Grim: REALLY?!

Makoto Angel: *blush* Don't embarrass me!

Larry Grim: I'M SORRY!

The cameras cut to the luxurious grotto, where the wives swam around a makeshift ring, and yes, Nani was hanging from the ceiling. Hazen and Ilya Fedorovich stood in the ring, as Tack sat atop a throne.

Tack Angel: Hazen, I respect your loyalty. Ilya, I respect your desire for control, though I can not have that sort of thing in my organization, or my Kingdom. In my Kingdom, I have control. However, let it not be said I can't be fair. If you beat Hazen, then then the Crusaders can leave with you.

Ilya Fedorovich: They don't need your permission to leave one way or the other! It is our choice! We choose to be the masters of ourselves!

Hazen: You're foolish. You will lead to our ruin. Our future lies in the Crystal Kingdom.

Ilya Fedorovich: Keep your empire of dirt! I wish to rise above!

Tack Angel: Let the battle begin!

ENN

1. Angel Grotto Fight "Loser Leaves the Stardust Crusaders": Hazen vs. Ilya Fedorovich
-The two members of the Stardust Crusdaders went all out in the grotto, while the gorgeous wives of Tack Angel swam around them. Throwing hard shots, eye gouges, and biting, this was just a manic brawl more than the technical spectacle these men were known to have. Ilya could be heard bringing up the punishment he suffered for losing the Challenge Championship, and questioned why Hazen never got the same treatment, as he fired off harsh kicks. The two men exchanged slaps to the chest so hard they began to bleed. The Angel Wives were aghast at the level of violence, but Tack was impressed, as he drank his non alcoholic umbrella drink. Ilya went for the Corkscrew Euroland Uppercut, but Hazen knocked him out of the air and pulled him back up for the Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver that sent him crashing into the makeshift ring. 1-2-3, and Hazen retained his position and ousted Ilya from the Crusaders.
Angel Grotto Fight "Loser Leaves the Stardust Crusaders": Hazen beat Ilya Fedorovich via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin

Makoto Angel: And Ilya is gone from the Crusaders!

Larry Grim: Hazen standing tall, saluting Tack Angel. He's really taking this seriously, Tack is entering the ring as Ilya slinks off out of the grotto.

Tack Angel: Hazen, I'm proud and grateful for your loyalty, but something has been hanging over us this whole time, and I think it's time it's dealt with. I need to clear up all old business, before I finally make Mach kneel.

Hazen: I understand. The explosions. I never truly beat you, but still, it is a sin I must pay for. The King requires his pound of flesh, and he will have it.

Tack Angel: Very good.

Hazen fell to his knees, as Tack put on a kick pad. With a swift kick, he sent Hazen to the mat. As a bloody hazen got back to his knees, Tack put his hand on his shoulder.

Tack Angel: You are forgiven good sir, and I welcome you as my knight, comrade, my ally, and my friend. We do have a crusade to fight together.

Hazen: Glory to the Crystal Kingdom.

2.  EBW Climax 2021 Block D Match: Golvoth[0] vs. Javier Leos[0]
-The next match was back in the normal ring, as Javier Leos took on Golvoth. A man more concerned by Undeth, Javier looked distracted, and also finding himself unable to fight off the size and power advantage of Golvoth. A surprisingly quick defeat, as Leos of the A-Men was plucked out of the air for a strong Chokeslam and pin.
EBW Climax 2021 Block D Match: Golvoth[2] beat Javier Leos[0] via Chokeslam -> Pin

Larry Grim: Wow, Golvoth was looking strong there. Javier is obviously distracted, but he needs to get his head in the game if he's going to have a shot in this tournament

Makoto Angel: I wonder if he's as excited to be apart of the Crystal Kingdom as Hazen. I hope he doesn't want to leave like Ilya. Poor Ilya. He would have had a home with us.

3. EBW Climax 2021 Block C Match: Brandish X[2] vs. Takumi Inui[2]
-3x E1 Climax winner Brandish X took on Takumi Inui in a frantic battle of former partners. Swift kicks and strikes saw Brandish batter Takumi with no restraint. Takumi fired back hard with a flick of his wrist and a series of hard shots. The former tag partners were bloody in no time, as Takumi cracked off a SUPER KICK, and went to the top rope for his Rider Kick. Brandish side stepped it and low blowed Takumi, before hitting the Fire Thunder Driver and pinning Takumi for the win.
EBW Climax 2021 Block C Match: Brandish X[4] beat Takumi Inui[2] via Fire Thunder Driver -> Pin

Larry Grim: And with that Brandish X really exerts his authority here. He beat Takumi, the two were once tag partners as Crimson X. They brought in Shiryu, and were a hell of a trio, but now Brandish serves a new master, and you honestly can't argue with the results. He's been down this road before, but never with such a sharp, violent focus.

Makoto Angel: Next up with Benjamin, the former World Champion taking on Jaden Yuki, the new would be replacement for Bashin Dan. Oh no, he's got a mi-

Jaden Yuki: Yo! Listen up y'all! This is my court I got the ball, the Kings of Games is here, and he don't intend to fall. I see Makoto, I be liking her tits, and I know King Tack is gonna throw some fits! That man over there is death himself, and he knows I'm gonna put Benji on the shelf. Dude, you're a sheep in knight's clothing, and I'm gonna fill you with fear and loathing. You know, you can't handle my style, but it's so damn slick you can't touch that dial. Benji you're gonna go down, and the King of Games is gonna polish his crown! Let's get our game on!

4. EBW Climax 2021 Block B Match: Benjamin[2] vs. Jaden Yuki[2]
-The match of the night, at least in the beginning, as the Mystic Bout Machine took on the King of Games. The fans have been clamouring for that Benji that they know can out wrestle and out work anyone in the ring, and they had it here, but Jaden Yuki has shown a penchant for absorbing that damage and learning quickly. However, nothing he could do, could stop the freight train momentum of the Warrior of Light, so he ran down the clock with holds, and received a chorus of boos, as he tried to drag the match to a time limit draw. Benji got a roar of applause from the crowd as he forced both he and Jaden out of the ring to break up the hold, but in the ensuing brawl on the outside, they both ended up getting Counted Out.
EBW Climax 2021 Block B Match: Benjamin[3] vs. Jaden Yuki[3] ended in a Double Count Out

Makoto Angel: Oh darn, that was just getting good too.

Larry Grim: Jaden Yuki is learning so quickly, that he just hung in there with a former World Champion. Benjamin just won at Victory Explosion this year. He just beat Ilya Fedorovich recently in a hard fought battle as well, and here we have Jaden Yuki, the cocky newcomer, holding his own. Bashin Dan is coming out for his match, but you can tell he was watching closely. He wants another shot at the "King of Games". You don't just beat a 6-Time World Champion like Dan and not let him have a rematch. At least, that's how Dan feels.

Backstage

Jackson Kain was standing in the back with the World Tag Team Champions Trevor Mach and his partner for the night Derek Mach.

Jackson Kain: That's right folks, your favorite movie star is here, and he's back in action! You attack me for winning an E1? You attack me for winning the World Championship? That envy bro, and a lot of people envy me, so feel fortunate that I'm taking the time to meet you in the ring. Void, I'm going to make you eat the Shadow Kick, and I'll leave you a nice autograph when I'm done.

Derek Mach: You want to audit my sins Void? I hope you have a lot of time on your hands. I have too many to count, but I'm not looking at them right now. I'm looking at the path you want to carve in the future, and I can't allow that. If I have to team with the movie star, then that's fine with me. We had a legendary E1 together. Don't ever forget that. We'll bring that to the ring.

Trevor Mach: Well, they got it figured out. The house is in order. How about you Tack? Is your house in order? They don't have us meeting tonight, but guess what? We have a contract signing next week on Xcite. Boy, I can't wait. Face to face in the ring. It's gonna be fun! I saw you earlier in that grotto, trying to dole out forgiveness? You feel righteous don't you man? You really really do. I know why. Men WANT to feel righteous. You NEED to see me as evil, and see the evil in all the enemies you fear. Without it, you'll turn that shit inwards. All that aggression. All that anger. Trust me, I know. You'll find an enemy inside, and maybe, just maybe, you're not too happy with your reflection right now. Prove me wrong Tack. Prove me wrong.

5. EBW Climax 2021 Block A Match: Bashin Dan[2] vs. Mav Valentine[1]
-A HUGE match, as former World Champions and rivals collided, with Bashin Dan taking on Mav Valentine. Mav and Dan locked up in a test of strength with Dan getting the upper hand. Dan took Mav down with a shoulder tackle, which drove Mav into the corner. Dan locked in a heel hook, but Mav broke it by reaching the ropes. Mav drove Dan into the corner and landed a chop, but Dan slapped him hard in return, then slammed Mav to the mat a couple of times. Mav nailed Dan from the back, then stomped him in the corner. Mav charged in but Dan landed an elbow to the face. Mav was still focusing on Dan’s legs in the middle of the ring. Dan fought out of it, but Mav was able to take Dan back to the mat, then sat down across his knee. Dan again tried making a comeback, but Mav again was able to hook his leg and work it over. Dan went for a suplex, but Mav ducked out of it and attacked Dan’s knee from behind. Mav had Dan in the corner, then tried to charge in, but Dan moved, and Mav was rocked to the mat. Dan landed a knee strike to Mav’s face. Mav got back up and chopped Dan. The two went back-and-forth as the crowd cheered for both men. Dan won the battle by hitting Mav with a roundhouse kick to the face. Mav kicked out of a pin attempt at two. Dan was favoring his leg but was able to nail Mav with a leg lariat, then a neck breaker. Dan hit Mav with a rising knee strike in the corner, but Mav came right back and dropped Dan with a back suplex. He went for a Mav Buster, but Dan narrowly escaped. Dan hit Mav with a short-arm clothesline, and hard elbow drop for a two count. It seemed that pin attempt was more an attempt to catch his breath. Mav still had a lot in the tank, and Dan relied of the crowd to fire him up. The crowd chanted for him as he signaled for the Brave Clash. Mav evaded and rolled Dan into a Sharpshooter. Dan showed the signature heart that took him to the top 6 times before, and fought out, before he hit a series of suplexes to wear out Mav and finally land the Brave Clash for the 1-2-3.
EBW Climax 2021 Block A Match: Bashin Dan[4] beat Mav Valentine[1] via Brave Clash -> Pin

Larry Grim: Alright, that's the NEW match of the night. I'm calling it. Excellent stuff from two fantastic athletes. They are both part of the reason EBW is the best wrestling you can find. Sure we've got....other stuff...but the wrestling is what brought us to the dance, and wrestling is alive and well in EBW! Dan now up to 4 Points in the E1, and when he gets to the back, I think he's got something to tell Bashin Dan.

Makoto Angel: Exciting. What do you think it is?

Larry Grim: Wait what? You know what it is right?

Makoto Angel: Huh? Yeah. Of course....I was...I was just kidding. Of course. *shifty eyes*

6. Tag: Derek Mach/Jackson Kain vs. Void/Noroi
-Main event time, as Derek Mach and Jackson Kain teamed up for the first time to take on Void and Noroi. Noroi still seemed familiar, especially to Derek, but he couldn't quite pin who it was. Fast action, as Derek did most of the heavy lifting at first. Jackson seemed rusty, but with the crowd on his side, the man of action battled Noroi and forced him to tag in Void, who quickly shut down the fiery comeback for Kain. Harsh one sided battering, as they took him to the Undeth corner and kept him there. The Auditor came near the ring, which brought out Trevor Mach, but so did Brandish, creating chaos outside of the ring. Amidst the action, Void lifted his mask just enough to bite into Kain, unbeknownst to the ref. He spit the blood into Kain's face and hit the Chaos Theory for the pin, with Noroi fighting off Derek as he tried to make the save. Undeth scored the win, as EMTs quickly rushed out to check on Jackson, his cheeks bleeding profusely from the bite. The movie star, who prided himself on his looks, was disfigured by this dangerous group.
Tag: Void[o]/Noroi beat Derek Mach/Jackson Kain[x] via Chaos Theory -> Pin

Makoto Angel: Oh no! His face! I love his movies!

Larry Grim: Dark forces are at work here people. I seriously can't tell you who is under the mask with Void. Something is blocking me. I'm not kidding. That was a grizzly action. He really will just do anything he feels like. Incredible. Well, that does it for tonight. We're ending things in anarchy, because of course we are. We'll see you next week for my E1 action on Xcite, but don't forget, a NEW episode of The Ultimate EBW before all of that. DON'T MISS IT!

Bashin Dan went to check on Mav Valentine, as the medic finished wrapping the ice pack around his head.

Bashin Dan: How are you feeling?

Mav Valentine: I've been better Dan. Been a lot better. You got lucky on this one! Damn lucky!

Bashin Dan: That's skill Mav. I didn't become a 6-Time World Champion for nothing.

Mav Valentine: Hey, you're talking to a 2-Time 2-Time World Champion.

Bashin Dan: Was that a thing you just did with the 2-Time thing?

Mav Valentine: No that was a stutter. My head hurts.

Bashin Dan: Well, I guess you know why I'm here.
 
Mav Valentine: Not to check on me? That's cold. Speaking of which, where are Subculture and Picky? Where's my Blood 4 Blood brothers. Probably on the beach I bet!

Bashin Dan: Mav, you're killing me here.

Mav Valentine: Heh. All right Dan. Bring it in. I'll tell you.

Bashin Dan leaned in, as Dan whispered to him the revelation he missed out on.

Bashin Dan: Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. OK. Oh. OK. She- um- I- Oh. OK. WHAT?! WHAT?! NAAAAAAAANIIIIIIII?!?!

The Angel Grotto

Nani Angel was still hanging from the ceiling, as a loud noise echoed in the chamber.

Nani Angel: Huh? Hai, Nani des. I would....very much....like to get down now.

An ambulance pulled up in the parking lot, as Jackson Kain made his way towards it.

Jackson Kain: That freak bit into my face!

EMT: Let's just get you to the hospital to stitch it up.

Jackson Kain: Stitch it up?! I need full reconstructive surgery here. My career is on the line.

Derek Mach: Didn't used to bother you so much. I recall busting you open plenty of times.

Jackson Kain: That looked good on a poster. This, not so much. Looks, he tried to eat an apple! I'm...I'm sorry I screwed this one up. Every time I try and step back into the ring, I forget the shape I needed to be in, and the mindset. That drive. Being a wrestler 24/7 was intense work, but that's what I had to do to beat you.

Derek Mach: At least you get it. Don't worry about it.

Jackson Kain: You are suspiciously calm.

Derek Mach: Having a kid makes you change your way of thinking sometimes.

Jackson Kain: Oh that's nice. My agent told me to adopt some kids, but if I'd never be around to see them, then what's the point? The press? Not worth it for the publicity.

Derek Mach: ...You going to be all right?

Jackson Kain: If they can fix this, then I'm fine.

Derek Mach: Alright, then I'll just leave you to-

Suddenly, Void and Noroi attacked the two men from behind. They tossed Kain into the back of the ambulance, as Derek tried to get him out. Void hit him over the head with a pipe and tossed him in too. They threw the EMT out of the amulance and drove off.

-

Ninten: So yeah, that's what happened! You know why wrestling is crazy? Because people get away with this sort of thing. Wavers are signed and stuff! You got to be crazy to live this life.

Ana: Is that why you stopped wrestling? Too much to handle?

Ninten: No, you know why I quit. Same reason Ness did. Wanted to get married and settle down with you....but you know...bills and stuff so- wait, you know all of this. You're psychic!

Ana: Yeah, but going by that logic we'd never have a conversation.

Ninten: ...Good point. You know Lucas couldn't handle life on the road, so at least I've got one up on him.

Ana: We're just now getting in footage, and I think it's from Void! Let's cut to it quickly!

?

Derek Mach was seen tied to a chair, with an IV stuck in his arm, seemingly drawing blood. Jackson Kain was then seen sitting next to him. Derek came too first, as he saw the Auditor sitting across from him.

The Auditor: Ah, it appears you have awakened. Very good. Very good.

Derek Mach: What is this?

The Auditor: Your audit of course. We need to access your sins.

Jackson Kain: Ugh...my head...where are we?

The Auditor: *sigh* It's quite obvious isn't it? You're being kept in a secret place, to be audited. This is my job, and one I take much pride in.

Jackson Kain: My agent warned my about paying more taxes.

Derek Mach: He doesn't want our money.

The Auditor: Quite right. Quite right indeed Mr. Mach. I want your sins, and like I said, I have a very intriguing way of getting them on paper. As you can see, you're attached to a machine that is drawing your blood. Your blood will be my ink, and that ink will write down your sins. The more sins, the more chances that you'll pass out, but worry not, we won't allow you to miss the opportunity to tell them all. We have nothing but time, so let's just get right down to it.

Derek Mach: I bet you'll wear down before I do.

The Auditor: Most intriguing.

-

Ninten: That is insane! I mean that's just-

Suddenly, Trevor Mach burst onto the set with bat in hand.

Ninten: Whoa! Trevor?!

Trevor Mach: Where are they?

Ninten: Huh? I don't-

Trevor Mach: Not asking you. Ana. You know where they are, don't you?

Ana: ....

Trevor Mach: Tell me where they are.

Ana: ...Sin City. He's taken them to Sin City.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* Why Sin City? I got to go.

Ninten: But what about Xcite?! Well I guess now the question, will Trevor make it to his own contract signing against the 4-Crown King? I guess find out this week on Xcite! Now, it's time for an ALL NEW episode of THE ULTIMATE EBW! *sigh* Hang in there Derek and Jackson.



Narrator: Last time on The Ultimate EBW: Team Vape vs. Team Jammer, nothing of significance happened. The two coaches forgot what they were doing, when given the opportunity to move into a such a spacious home, but after several hours, they finally remembered they had a job to do, meeting up with the new recruits in the Training Center, which leads us....to right now.

EBW Training Center - Onett Branch

Jammer followed a nervous Vape into the restrooms of the building.

Jammer: Wait what? How could you have possibly lost your shoes in he-oh damn!

Jammer looked to see a toilet overflowing wildly.

Jammer: NO NO NO NO! What happened?! These were just fine earlier!

Vape: Looks clogged.

Jammer: Yeah do duh! What the hell though?! How is it clogged so badly?!

Vape: Must be my shoes.

Jammer: Your shoes?

Vape: Well, when I said I lost my shoes in the restroom, I might have meant that I flushed them down the toilet.

Jammer: How? How? HOW?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

Vape: It's an anxiety thing Jammer! Things are moving so fast around here! It freaks me out! Flushing things gives me control. It's a thing!

Jammer: That's NOT a thing!

Vape: Yes, it is!

Jammer: No, it ISN'T!

The new recruits could hear the two arguing from the restroom, as they stood in the ring.

Dajh: Dude, what the hell are we getting into here? Crazy ass white folks, I swear.

Giorno Giovanni: This is counter productive.

Crystal Clear: Gee, I hope that Vape is OK. He seems so nervous. He's a tall drink of water, and I'm thirsty.

Ginger female: You're a tall drink of water yourself. Jacked too. I'm....a little caught off guard here. Scared? No, not one bit, cause you might be on my team after all, but...caught off guard.

Crystal Clear: I...am dedicated to my routine. Let's put it that way. I'm Crystal by the way.

Ginger female: The name's Aoife Aisling!

Crystal Clear: Huh?

Aoife Aisling: It's pronounced "ee-fa". It's a celtic name, and I know, ginger AND celtic, what a shock. We're not all like that Kaie bitch that forgot where she actually came from. The various gingers with weird names come from a lot of places in that area, with different cultures and backgrounds. It covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground. Careful, they might try to tear you down and put up a parking lot there.

Girl with tied back hair: *sigh* We have clown over here. Great.

Aoife Aisling: I love a good joke, and I think I'm looking at one right now. Nice tats by the way. Who are you?

Girl with tied back hair: Mitra Lennox. You like tattoos? In home country, we have saying, that tattoos are portraits you paint on canvas of soul. Tattoos represent those who fight me in past, and those....who lose. I have space for you funny girl.

Aoife Aisling: Make sure you make it big enough to capture my natural beauty....and freckles...all my freckles.

Suddenly Jammer and Vape burst out of the restroom, and quickly hurried back to the group.



Jammer: Thanks for waiting....again. It's time to find out who is going to be on which team and-

Vape: I CALL CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Jammer: HEY! ALRIGHT! DAMMIT!

Vape: YES!

Crystal Clear: *blushes*

Jammer: Just remember, you're not allowed to "fraternize" with the students.

Vape: What?!

Jammer: Yeah, they called it the "M's Style Rule".

Vape: THAT SUC- I mean of course, why would I ever? I'm a professional.

Jammer: With no shoes.

Vape: ...I flushed your watch too.

Jammer: THAT EXPLAINS THE NO WATCH THING! *sigh* Fine. If Crystal Clear is going to be on Team Vape, then I'll take Aoife Aisling.

Aoife Aisling: Now THAT'S a slam dunk! No, I'm not on fire, that's just my hair!

Jammer: ...Interesting.

Vape: MEGUMIN! MEGUMIN! MEGUMIN!

Megumin: AH! You-you're staring at me with a lurid gaze. Are you interested in my power of explosion or my youth. You are truly a depraved soul!

Vape: Yep!

Jammer: Well, that's gives me Mitra Lennox then.

Aoife Aisling: Looks like we're going to have to get along after all.

Mitra Lennox: Is that right? We'll see.

Vape: I just think Trevor is a jerk for making this difficult on me. He should have known not to get thrown through that wall all those years ago.

Jammer: You tried to hit on Darkness Aoi just last season! If you wanted to hit on the students, then DON'T be a Coach!

Vape: I didn't ask for it!

Virgil Boyd: Umm....excuse me? We need to still pick the gu-

Jammer: YOU GET THAT GUY!

Vape: WAIT WHAT?! I DON'T WANT HIM!

Jammer: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DIBS ON CLEAR!

Virgil Boyd: HEY! I-

Jammer: YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK AT FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES! So you get him, and I'll take Zyro Kuragane.

Vape: I want to know how to get hair like that.

Jammer: Work on actually having hair first.

Vape: I'll take Dajh. HE won't judge me for being bald.

Dajh: I'm gonna.

Vape: Oh no!

Jammer: Giorno, that means you're with me.

Giorno Giovanni: You pick me last?

Jammer: Nothing personal man, I just needed to make sure I had the Dan equivalent! Maybe it'll help me understand what makes Bashin Dan so damn good!

Zyro Kurogane: Heh, he's nothing compared to me. Who wastes time playing a card game, when you can battle with BLADES! You know who doesn't play Battle Spirits? ZYRO-K BEY-BEEEEEEEEY!

Jammer: ...See I thought I picked all the cool ones. Oops maybe?

Narrator: The teams left the gym and made their way to the now FORMER house of Ness, apparently making it ENN property? Probably best for him and his family.

The TUE House

Megumin: I, Megumin, MASTER OF THE CRIMSON EXPLOSIONS require a big enough place to summon the spirits of EXPLOSIONS, so I shall take the basement! Haha!

Vape: I'm already down there, BUT I'm willing to share with my sweet loli student ugu desu desu.

Megumin: EEP! Never mind!

Jammer: Girls and guys will share the rooms upstairs. We'll train separately, but live together. This season is different apparently. We'll be training to crown some winners, but for the rest of you that don't advance, you have to beat the members of the previous season to get a spot on the roster. We have to actually do better than they did. We actually have to try and defeat the Point Man! He's the coolest and most dependable bro to hit the roster in a long time.

Vape: Don't worry Team Vape, we'll all advance, and win the whole thing!

Jammer: Oh is that right? Ladies, be careful around this guy. He's a bit of a freak.

Vape: Not fair! I am going to be on my BEST BEHAVIOR!

Later...

Megumin went into the rest room to use the toilet, but as she lifted the seat, she looked down to see it was actually Vape in a toilet costume.

Vape: Hey! You're not Crystal!

Megumin: AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Aloha Sun Plaza - Backstage

Chaz Hardcastle was talking on his cell phone, as he oversaw a stripper pole being sent out to get installed on the new Xcite set. President Swift approached.

Chaz Hardcastle: Stein-man, I've got to call you back, I have a very angry Swift approaching. Chow baby. President Swift, I-

Swift: Cut the shit Chaz! It's done. This shit is done!

Chaz Hardcastle: What are you talking about?

Swift: The girls, the exploitation, those rabbit bitches getting their titties out. It's done! This is a WRESTLING show!

Chaz Hardcastle: We've been over this Swift! The network wants to cast a wide net to catch more fish. I'm going at it from every angle. It's just some good old red blooded-

Swift: Bullshit! You've been actively corrupting EBW, and I want it to stop, and it will stop. I have had changes thrust upon me, but I'm the President. I was elected, and given this company, and while I think the folks that actively elected a guy like me are INSANE, I still plan on doing my damn job. I haven't always been a good guy, and I might be a good guy right now. I might STILL be an angry, vicious, son of a bitch, but I'm one that respect wrestling. I'm the President of a WRESTLING company. Not a content company.

Chaz Hardcastle: Swift, we go over this a lot, and it doesn't change anything because-

Swift: I found your secret.

Chaz Hardcastle: E-e-excuse me? Heh. What are you talking about?

Swift: I found where your office is. I went there. I flipped YOUR desk for a change. Under the desk was a button, and I pushed it. I found what you were hiding in the wall. You want to explain that?

Chaz Hardcastle: ...I don't...don't know what you're talking about.

Swift: We both know that you do, and I DID make sure I have proof. If you want me to keep it a secret, then you'll back down.

Chaz Hardcastle: .....

Swift: First time you've had nothing to say? I guess I touched a damn nerve huh? Alright, get that stripper pole OUT OF HERE! Yes, send it back! Tell the bunnies they have to keep their clothes on, and to stop trying to touch my "blackhammer!" We WILL go with the flow on this fresh coat of paint, as a way of wiping off the STINK of exploitation content. I will continue to allow an ENN+ Pre-Show, but from now on, it's going to serve a purpose. I want to hype the show coming up on ENN. I want Xcite, our long standing flagship, to get as many eyes as possible. I'm renaming the Pre-Show to IGNITION, and it will be worth the price on ENN+, and no, it won't have ++ content. That's just the beginning of the fixes I'm going to employ around here. Is that understood Chaz? Are we on the same page? Do we GET each other?

Chaz Hardcastle: You really want to do this?

Swift: Oh I'm doing it....it's done. Want to do something about it?

Chaz Hardcastle: Heh. Wow Swift, I got to say I'm proud of you. I didn't think you had it in you anymore. So many people in this business can go soft. Obviously not the case with you.

Swift: I'd tell you to go ask the bunnies if I can go soft, but that shit's for off the clock chatter. We're here to wrestle.

Chaz Hardcastle: I think you'll find that my way of doing things would have made things easier for you. Change happens whether we want it to or not. It can be painful.

Swift: Is that a threat?

Chaz Hardcastle: Not at all. On the contrary. Let's do lunch soon. Here's my card again. Chow Mr. President.

Swift: ...That felt too easy.

EBW+ IGNITION!
Aloha Sun Plaza, Sun City
ENN+

0. Singles: Isiah Muscle beat Shrieker via Bridging Wrist Lock Electric Chair Drop -> Pin
-Isiah Muscle had a TUE reunion match of sorts against the enigmatic and downright scary Shrieker. The clown of ill intent was savage in his offense, but a clever reversal allowed Isiah to lift the clown for a Bridging Wrist Lock Electric Chair Drop for the pin fall victory.
0. Women's Singles Angel Wife Audition Gauntlet: Duvalie Angel/Lady M's[o]/Nani Angel beat Korra via Rolling M's -> Pin
-Korra continues to tell everyone that will listen that she's the Avatar, and should totally be an Angel wife on top of that. Standing in her way, were three Angel wives that disagreed, in Duvalie Angel, "Lady M's", and a returning Nani Angel, who was finally allowed to return to the ring, probably due to the clout of the 4-Crown King. "Lady M's" continued her shtick of copying the moves of the former holder of her name, while also wearing clothing that showed Tack slipping her the tongue, with the phrase "Lady M's loves Tack Angel" emblazoned all over it. "M's" was the one to put Korra out of her misery, as they trio wore her down. A Rolling M's and the 1-2-3.
0. ENN+ Women's Singles: Wendy Mustang beat Alison Chains via Slingshot flipping Lariat
-Main event of IGNITION saw Wendy Mustang go head to head with Alison Chains, in a hard hitting, old school brawl. The two women know how to fight, and brought it to the wrestling match, but do keep in mind it was still a wrestling match and now a fight, because it was officially sanctioned, they agreed upon it, it was put on the card, and they being paid for services rendered. That being said, Chains almost got a DQ when she wrapped her chain around her arm for a punch, but Wendy ducked it, and went to the ring apron to hit a Slingshot flipping Lariat for the surprise 1-2-3. After the match, a bleeding from her mouth Alison Chains showed off a gruesome grin as she fist bumped Wendy and showed some respect.

Stardust Crusaders Locker Room

Hazen was arguing with Radzi and Golvoth, as w00t watched on from a distance. Ilya suddenly burst in.

Hazen: You! You are not supposed to be here anymore. You were beaten.

Ilya Fedorovich: A loss is a loss, but what you're doing is still garbage. I spit on this Stardust Crusaders idea, and so do my comrades apparently.

Radzi Schrieffer: He's right. Living a high life is good, but not one under force servitude. We blindly followed you into this, but it appears that you only wanted a master and country to serve, while you know we wish to return home one day.

Hazen: Crystal Heaven IS our home n-

Golvoth: NO!

Radzi Schrieffer: Exactly. I even tried it, but I can't pretend that it works. It just doesn't work. We can not be citizens of the Crystal Kingdom. We're out.

Golvoth: OUT!

Hazen: Is that right? Then I revoke your rings. You're no longer World Team Champions with me. Hand over the rings.

Radzi Schrieffer: You can't do that!

w00t: Actually....he can. You made me leader in your affairs, and that means he can invoke the Threebird Rule, and elect to crown new co-champions.

Hazen: And that is exactly what I intend to do.

Ilya Fedorovich: Fine by me! I wasn't going to team with a sell out anyways. Come on guys. Together, we can still be the fighters we came here to be. We can fight to earn back a place in our homes. We will one day return to Euroland with our heads held HIGH!

Radzi Schrieffer: Agreed.

Golvoth: *nods*

w00t: And there they go.

Hazen: I no longer have an army of Knights to support the King.

w00t: He doesn't need them, when he has us. Besides, I saw this coming, and it's all part of the plan.

Aloha Sun Plaza - Backstage

Swift: Well, that does it for IGNITON. How about that? You got some wrestling, and some hype for the flag ship. I know how to do this shit when I put my mind to it! No more half assing it! All those meetings they make me go to? They can wait. I've got wrestling to book, and I've got tables to flip. So let's go! It's time for Xcite on ENN!





Apple Kid: Welcome to a BRAND NEW EBW: Xcite! We're now the GOLD STANDARD of Professional Wrestling, in visual form as well! It's still Aloha Nights, and it's still the E1 Climax, but you're getting a taste of the brand new EBW here and now! New set! New logos! New look and feel! The 8-Sided Ring is BACK! What a wrench thrown into the plans of the E1 combatants, who have been training for the other ring, suddenly having to get used to the old EBW signature! You got to be sharp, and ready for anything these days, that's the lesson learned! I'm joined by a new broadcast colleague, who will be my new partner from here on out. It's Sal Paradise everyone!

Sal Paradise: More like you're MY partner, and I'm going to be the reason people listen to commentary.

Apple Kid: You're....you're right. *sigh*

Sal Paradise: Apple, that was a joke.

Apple Kid: Oh?

Sal Paradise: Yeah man, but I mean it's possibly true.

Apple Kid: Oh.

Sal Paradise: I was doing well with my Paradise City Management, but then a certain Star Prince had to concuss my star player, and now I'm not sure if he's going to be able to compete again. You have to roll with the punches, and I once called myself the People's Choice, and now I'll be the People's Voice. I have to pay the bills somehow, and Facenol isn't exactly cheap.

Apple Kid: Oh that's right, I forgot you took that.

Sal Paradise: A lot of people forget a lot of things in EBW. I can be one big memory hole. Anyways, it doesn't matter HOW I got here, the point is that I'm here. I'm love wrestling, and I'm excited to be calling the action this time around.

Apple Kid: It's a big change having you here. A lot of big changes brought on by ENN, but also some by President Swift, who seems to be taking back the reigns. Yes, we still have an ENN+ segment of the show, but it's got a new name, and a new mission statement, to actually hype you up for wrestling.

Sal Paradise: Shame about the bunny girls not being allowed to get them out anymore though. I think they should call me....both of them. I'll take them to Paradise City if you catch my drift.

Apple Kid: Yes, you-

Sal Paradise: I'm talking about my penis.

Apple Kid: ...Of course you are.

Sal Paradise: So much in store tonight! The E1 is still going strong, and we have some huge matches tonight. Hazen vs. Bashin Dan is one to watch folks. You can tell that's going to be a winner. Both of them are amazing athletes! Hazen lost the rest of his "Crusaders" earlier on the new ENN+ IGNITION series, and look we're doing picture in picture so you can see some highlights. You don't HAVE to pay money to be caught up on the current stories! That's cool.

Apple Kid: Yes, but I've been told a major event has just taken place backstage, and we're going to witness it right now. Let's take a look!



Tack Angel: You thought the 4-Crown King was done with his collection of trophies and accolades? I don't think so. Behold the World Team Championship Ring. Hazen had them, and he gave them to myself, w00t, and a 4th man who we are not yet ready to reveal. You know what that means? Do you understand what is happening here? This is no longer about a 4-Crown. I have achieved 5-Crown Supremacy. This is a feat never before achieved in EBW. I am the only one to have risen to these heights, and I'll remain the only one, as these titles stay with me.

Hazen: I don't need War Kings or Crusaders, when I have powerful comrades such as these.

w00t: Right you are. We've found the perfect divine combination. All of us, working together, you achieve the things we've all dreamed about. Power.

Hazen: Order.

Tack Angel: Acknowledgement. This is the start of something even greater. I have more peaks to climb, and you will see that I am your Champion, your TRUE hero, and your King. By the time I'm done, you will ALL bow before me, not because I make you, but because you'll realize, you were wrong not to do it in the first place. Trevor Mach, tonight, we sign a contract, and it'll be a contract that will seal your fate. It's destiny.

EBW: Xcite E1 Climax 2021 Aloha Nights!
Aloha Sun Plaza, Sun City
ENN

1. EBW Climax 2021 Block D Match: Ilya Fedorovich[2] vs. Javier Leos[0]
-The opening match saw Ilya come out with his former crusader comrades, as he took on Javier Leos of the A-Men. A fun fusion of styles, but Javier couldn't quick get out of first gear, as without Hazen there, Golvoth and Radzi seemed more than happy to try and get involved, Ilya couldn't get the Corkscrew Euroland Uppercut, but he did counter Javier, and rolled into a Cross Armbreaker, where he quickly tapped Leos to gain 2 points.
EBW Climax 2021 Block D Match: Ilya Fedorovich[4] beat  Javier Leos[0] via Cross Armbreaker -> Submission



Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! Not only am I hanging out with The Shark Order as a manager, and not only do I get to do commentary sometimes, but I also get to call the action backstage here! Awesome right? I don't need that zombified Rains anymore! Besides, looking back this is like the second time he's died. He's sure to come back...probably. Anyways I'm joined by Bashin Dan and Benjamin, who are both looking good in the E1 so far, and I bet they're looking to face each other in the finals.

Bashin Dan: That's what we're hoping for.

Benjamin: Was it that obvious?

Good News Gary: You guys have been called the future of wrestling for sometime, but I think since I'm looking at two former World Champions, you are the here and now. I mean Dan, you're a 6-Time World Champion!

Bashin Dan: It's hard to believe, but I have to admit it's harder to defend the title sometimes than it is to win it. It's been a curse, but an E1 win is something I've never had, and that could propel me back into title contention.

Benjamin: I have to admit, I was once fine with my place in EBW, but after putting on match after match that people considered the match of the night, and after finding Lain-well...having Lainey find me, I realized just how much I want to reach that pinnacle again.

Good News Gary: Well, you both have built up quite the resume, and you have some big matches ahead, but more to the point, I hear something bigger is coming soon for Bashin Dan. Am I right?

Bashin Dan: *cough cough* Huh? What do you-

Good News Gary: You know what I'm talking about! You and Hope! Right?

Bashin Dan: Ha...I...uh...well..I mean-

Hope Mach: Hey, don't get him so flustered.

Bashin Dan: HOPE! There you are! Right there! Wow! Uh...you look...very familiar right now.
 
Hope Mach: I thought I'd update the look, and such I'm such a big fan of yours, I thought why not look like the "Dangerous Player" Hehe. Do you like it?

Bashin Dan: You look great.

Hope Mach: We both have big matches tonight, but I wanted to wish you good luck.

Bashin Dan: Uh...yeah. You too Hope, and seriously you look great....but you always do.

Hope Mach: That's a good answer Dan. A very good answer. Haha!

Benjamin: Is she skipping away? She's skipping away. Dan, what's going on here?

Bashin Dan: Oh, you mean you don't know?

Benjamin: *shrugs* I don't tend to know a lot I've come to find.

Bashin Dan: Well, you can't tell her I didn't know, but-

Jaden Yuki: Yo! What up losers! Allow the King of Games to fill you in! *whispers in to Benjamin's ear*

Benjamin: WHAT?!

Bashin Dan: Wait, you mean you know?

Jaden Yuki: Like any REAL player, I watch the tapes, I study the product. You must be slacking Dan. No wonder they needed a better version to replace you. That's where I come in, and I hate to burst that bubble, but neither of you are winning the E1. I'm going to be that super nova that shocks the world and claims the prize! I'm the mac daddy of shonen heroes, and my blood runs hotter, and my light shines brighter. But hey, if either of you ever want to lose another round of Duel Monsters....just let me know. *wink*

Bashin Dan: He told you?! He told that....*looks both ways before whispering into Benjamin's ear*.

Benjamin: WHAT?! NO! He told me something crazy about one of the cast members of TUE!

Bashin Dan: ...He tricked me! I'm not used to getting outplayed here! I don't think I like it!

Benjamin: I wonder if Vape and Jammer know about-

Bashin Dan: What do I do Benji?!

Benjamin: We need to talk this out...let's uh....let's go somewhere else to talk.

2. EBW Climax 2021 Block C Match: Brandish X[4] vs. Radzi Schrieffer[0]
-A weird match in that it never really got off the ground. Radzi stood in the ring, as Brandish X paced and challenged him to come try and stop him from becoming a 4-Time E1 Climax winner. On the advice of Ilya, Radzi begrudgingly left the ring, as the ref counted him out. The crowd booed the former Kings as they soaked in the jeers.
EBW Climax 2021 Block C Match: Brandish X[6] beat Radzi Schrieffer[0] via Count Out

Apple Kid: What do you make of that.

Sal Paradise: I have no ide-HEY!

Ilya Fedorovich: You want to know why? It's simple. Radzi, I appreciate the sacrifice, and I will repay you, with wine, women, and whatever you wish, because you left Haven with me, and you trusted that I have a plan. I do have a plan. Hazen needs a reality check, and it's quickly coming. Either I will face Hazen, or Brandish X will face Hazen, or maybe even Hazen might make it through and win the E1. However, that means that the winner will get the title shot, and last time I check, Hazen was licking the boots of the Star Prince. So I want to clear a path in that respect. You might wonder why I brought up Brandish X in the conversation. Let's just say, the would be King is making friends in various places, and anything to create a little chaos. I think that's worth it.

Radzi Schrieffer: It is. That is worth it. Whatever it takes to stir up some trouble, because we're going to make a loud enough impact that we'll reclaim our rightful homes in Euroland, a superior country, with superior wrestling. I spit on the E1 Climax! Of course, that being said, if you do win it-

Ilya Fedorovich: Then I'll be more than happy to let you melt down that "precious" trophy, and when I win the title, you'll be the first one to get a shot. You are my brothers and comrades, and together, we'll fulfill the original vision of the War Kings!

Golvoth: YEAH!

Sal Paradise: Can I get my mic back now? Thank you! So, they're playing chess here. Trying to stack the deck in a way. Very interesting strategy. They have to hope a lot of other matches work out in a certain way.

Apple Kid: Shame we didn't get that match though.

3. EBW Climax 2021 Block B Match: Picky Minch[0] vs. Big Shark[0]
-A solid match up saw Picky Minch take on Big Shark. Big Shark has been the hope for The Shark Order since joining up. The rookie big man has been impressive, but the short, stocky, and experienced Picky Minch gave him a clinic in Catch AS Catch Can wrestling, taking away his biggest tools in the process. Picky captured the win with a Bridging Hagen Suplex and the pin. 2 points for Picky Minch and Blood 4 Blood.
EBW Climax 2021 Block B Match: Picky Minch[2] beat Big Shark[0] via Bridging Hagen Suplex -> Pin

Sal Paradise: Now that's a win. Good for Picky. Always liked that guy, I want it on the record. We partied a bit back in the day. He's popular with the ladies that are into that SS shit, cause they still think he's a young boy, when he's actually-

Apple Kid: I bet Trevor, Mav, and Subculture are proud of the win.

Sal Paradise: Speaking of Trevor, he's backstage with Larry Grim right now. Let's check it out. I'm really good at this already aren't I?

Apple Kid: Uh...sure!

Sal Paradise: Yeah, I thought so.

Backstage

Larry Grim: Larry Grim here, standing by with Challenge Champion and World Tag Team Champion Trevor Mach. Add to that, you're a member of Blood 4 Blood, and you're looking to take down the King for the 4-Crown, and you're busy as always aren't you?

Trevor Mach: Of course. I'm running this body out until I've got nothing left. EBW is in my veins figuratively, and what's literally in my veins has been spilled many times for EBW. I live for this shit.

Larry Grim: Tonight, you've got the contract signing. The match you were fighting to get all summer. It's happening at the E1 Finale. You got to be psyched.

Trevor Mach: More like it's ABOUT DAMN TIME! See, when I have a problem with someone, we fight it out. We don't get legal about it, and I don't care for all the "lesson teaching" mind games. You fight and you settle it, but I don't think this is going to settle a damn thing. Not after what you've pulled Tack. One beating won't be enough. I'm going to knee you so damn hard, that the next Star Prick wannabe is going to feel it!

Larry Grim: He HAS made things personal, but very rarely have we seen you in this kind of form. He threatened your family, and that seemed to set you off on this course, but it's not just that right? Things have been changing on the Mach Farm yeah? A new era for "Macho Sexy"?

Trevor Mach: I've loved that woman with everything I've got since the day we first met. Nothing about that changed, but the nature of people and the form their relationships take can change I guess. Maybe it doesn't normally take a decade to get someone to drop their guard all the way, but we're there finally. I'm not SUPPOSED to bring up her name, but Tali Tali Tali OH TALIIIII! I love ya Lady. What can I say? She's my soul mate. I mean most of the time when other people say that, it sounds like bullshit. Like, you're not REALLY connected that way? You don't share a soul, but-

Larry Grim: In your case it's literally true!

Trevor Mach: Huh?

Larry Grim: What?

Trevor Mach: What did you just say?

Larry Grim: Oh! Uh...nothing! I was speculating on what you were going to say next!

Trevor Mach: .....

Larry Grim: .....

Trevor Mach: Don't bullshit a bullshit artist Larry. You know why I why I give you the dignity of a face to face stare?

Larry Grim: Because I lack eyes and a face?

Trevor Mach: ...Well yeah, but also because I trust you. Something you want to tell me?

Larry Grim: Umm...last time we had Taco Tuesday, I ate your last burrito.

Trevor Mach: I KNEW IT! Wait...No...we were talking about something else!

Larry Grim: You better get ready. Your signing is coming up quickly.

Trevor Mach: Right! Right! Why does my chest scar hurt? Whatever.

Larry Grim: Ha...*looks at the camera* me and my boney mouth.



Benjamin: So she thinks you-

Bashin Dan: Yep!

Benjamin: But that's not what you-

Bashin Dan: Yep!

Benjamin: And now you're-

Bashin Dan: Yep!

Benjamin: OH DANG!

Bashin Dan: YEP!

Benjamin: Alright, let's just calm down. I'm sure we can figure this out!

Bashin Dan: I don't know how it happened, but now she's thinks we are! I don't know what to do. I can't tell her can I? I need to always be honest with her though so maybe I-

Christina Angel: Excuse me, but did I hear that right?!

Dan and Benjamin: AH!

Christina Angel: You did WHAT?! You mean you didn't mean to-

Bashin Dan: It's not specifically that I didn't WANT to or anything, I just wasn't thinking so soon or like right THEN or-

Christina Angel: You're out of your MIND! You listen to me Dan, that's my best friend, and you better NOT screw this up! What? What is it? What are you both looking at?

Bashin Dan: *gulp* Your hair.

Benjamin: It's very very green.

Christina Angel: Yeah? So? Is that a problem!?

Bashin Dan: No! It looks good!

Benjamin: I met someone named Rydia once, and she ALSO had green hair, and it was neat!

Christina Angel: "Neat?" This is my natural hair color. In my timeline, my Dad never mettled with time and made me blonde. I just used it to make him more comfortable, but since my "sister" wants to stand out as an individual, then let's branch off I say! I also say, that YOU had better not make Hope sad, or you're going to regret it. I PROMISE YOU!

Bashin Dan: Please don't tell her yet! I don't know what to d-

Christina Angel: You better figure it out! Now what are you staring at?

Bashin Dan: Your husband.

Benjamin: He's behind you.

Christina Angel: Huh? What is it Subbie?

Subculture: Your hair...it's green now? That's....that's awesome. I don't know if you know this about me...but I like green.

Christina Angel: Yeah, I thought you might like it.

Subculture: Does the carpet match the-

Christina Angel: Not the time! I have a match to get to! Subculture, if Dan screws up, I need you to break his jaw.

Subculture: Got it.

Bashin Dan: Hey!

Subculture: Sorry partna, but I like making my wife very happy!

Bashin Dan: *sigh*

4. EBW Climax 2021 Block A Match: Bashin Dan[4] vs. Hazen[1]
-A big match up between Bashin Dan and Hazen, had the crowd on their feet. Though Hazen was without the "Crusaders", he showed no fear and no respect to the Dangerous Player, battering him at the start. Something was definitely on Dan's mind, and he didn't have the focus, while Hazen managed to keep his, even when Ilya, Golvoth, and Radzi came out to try and provoke him. Jaden Yuki started a rap, that taunted Dan about his secret, and Hazen managed to reverse a Brave Clash attempt, into a Death Valley Driver, with the Wrist Clutch tribute to the Constellation King, as Dan was pinned.
EBW Climax 2021 Block A Match: Hazen[3] beat Bashin Dan[4] via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin

Sal Paradise: Wow, a big loss for Dan there. The kid is supposed to be the new People's Choice. You can't let outside distractions get in the way.

Apple Kid: You know what's distracting him?

Sal Paradise: It's obvious isn't it?

Apple Kid: ....

Sal Paradise: They were just talking about it backstage.

Apple Kid: ....

Sal Paradise: I swear, half the people around here act like they don't know anything, even when it's happening right in front of them!

Apple Kid: ...Want an apple?

Sal Paradise: ...Yes...yes I would like an apple. Thank you.

Apple Kid: It's good for you. Keeps the brain healthy.

Sal Paradise: Doesn't cure obliviousness though.

Apple Kid: Huh?

Sal Paradise: Exactly.

5. 6-Woman Tag: Christina Angel/Hope Mach/Erica vs. Darkness Aoi/Ines/Ennea
-Main event time, as Christina Angel, the Women's World and Television Champion, Hope Mach, and Erica teamed up to take on the hired mercenaries Darkness Aoi, Ines, and Ennea. Duvalie Angel could be seen watching intently in the back, as the trio came out to battle the hired poison. Darkness Aoi showed a level of skill she was hiding during TUE, but anyone who studied her Edo career would know that she's top tier talent, while Ines and Ennea reminded everyone why they are the World Tag Team Champions, and the Bad Dudettes are not. The women were against the ropes, but mostly due to the lack of trust in Erica, who they rarely tagged in, especially with Darkness Aoi feigning association with her to throw off the teammates who didn't trust her. Christina had to be a leader and finally put some faith into Erica when she tagged in, which paid off. The former leader of Eisenritter took Aoi to task, and knocked Ines and Ennea off the ring apron, to really put the screws to Aoi. As she caught her off guard and looked to hit the Air Raid Crash, a masked figure, dressed once again like a Skulls & Bones biker, jumped into the ring and attacked Erica, smashing her in the face with a chain wrapped around her fist. The chain part was especially suspicious, as many fans assumed it to automatically be Alison Chains, but the assailant kept the mask on as the ref called for the DQ.
6-Woman Tag: Christina Angel/Hope Mach/Erica beat Darkness Aoi/Ines/Ennea via DQ

Apple Kid: That's no way to end the match. People were actually behind Erica on this one too. It's hard to believe, but she's been on a road of redemption for a bit now I guess.

Sal Paradise: Not really! She's not sorry for a damn thing, but right now, it's obvious she's what they needed. Christina and Hope are no rookies anymore, and they need to rely on every tool they have, and not doing so almost cost them the match to begin with. Erica is weapon against these gals. USE HER!

Apple Kid: Well that was a big main event match, but we're not done yet, as we still have THE contract signing of contract signings up ahead. It's going to be Trevor Mach and Tack Angel, coming at you next!



Tack Angel came out with his entourage first, and begrudgingly from the look on his face. As the crowd booed, Uranus and Neptune tried to block signs that discouraged their King. Hazen and w00t blocked incoming garbage, as the King entered the ring. Then...the music hit.




Trevor Mach came out with a big pop from the crowd, as the 80's inspired song blared, the anthem for the "Bad Man". Trevor Mach let the music play for a bit as he circled the ring and slapped hands with fans, making Tack stew as circled. The crowd were into the music and into the antics, but Tack wasn't, as he ordered his entourage to corral the Mach into the ring. After a few minutes, he finally rolled into the ring.

Tack Angel: You good? You done? The ego been stroked enough?

Trevor Mach: It was just shenanigans. I thought you LOVED shenanigans!

Tack Angel: ...THAT song huh? 80's inspired garbage.

Trevor Mach: I play the music that suits my mood. Sorry, not sorry if you don't like it.

Tack Angel: ...Well, here we are, in front of a packed crowd, in this ring, you and I. My old "buddy" Trevor. The look is different. The feel is different. It's a bit old school. We've got the 8-Sided Ring back. However, you're still you, sitting over there, defiant, angry, and juvenil-

Trevor Mach: Cut the shit Tack. Do you want to explain this?

Trevor slammed the crumbled stationary on the table, the same stationary Trevor had found at the warehouse in Sin City.

Trevor Mach: I didn't come back here in this much of a hurry to sign a damn contract on television. I could've done that later. I came back in a hurry, because of this, and I wanted answers where I knew I could find you.

Tack Angel: ...What? This? It's stationary from Crystal Heaven? You think I had anything to do with what happened in Sin City? You think that's what happened?

Trevor Mach: ...I don't want to believe it, but-

Tack Angel: Well believe it. Yeah, it's true. w00t arranged a meeting with Undeth, and though I don't agree with all the methods from Void, I felt this was a matter I needed to get involved i-

Trevor Mach: WHY?! This shit is between us you prick! Why drag Derek into this!?

Tack Angel: You never kept him in check, and he was just walking around, getting to forget his past like it never happened. Maybe I could accept that if he was sorry, but no, he obviously wasn't. Any King would not allow a criminal to walk free, out in the open, without having to pay the consequences of their actions. See, that's the problem here. That is what this ALL boils down to. Consequences Trevor, it's all about consequences. It has been this whole time.

Trevor Mach: You're not the one who gets to dole out justice like that. Maybe when you weren't a psycho, I could understand, but you lost that right.

Tack Angel: Oh yeah? This coming from you? You're trying to act like the sane, rational hero now?

Trevor Mach: You didn't give me a choice!

Tack Angel: You're a false hero, and you always have been. You're self serving egotist and villain, you never cared about-

Trevor Mach: Never cared? The scars on my body. The burns, the breaks, and the premature greys, show that maybe I cared too much! I live this shit, it's everything to me, so I come into EBW with a lot of confidence, and there is nothing wrong with having confidence in yourself. MACHISMO is NOT a bad thing. I come in, and I find a lot of success. I make it happen, but then I see you rising up, and when you reach that success too, I was happy for you. I wanted to hang out with a guy like that. That's what I said to myself. You were my best friend. You were like a brother. You-

Tack Angel: This is just you making things up again! That's all you ever do! You talk, talk, talk! Never about anything worthwhile, and never the truth! You wanted to hold me back! You want to make me the butt of the joke. You poked, and proded, and poked, and proded, and if you didn't expect it would one day come back to haunt you, then you're a bigger fool than I WAS! I say WAS, because I see so clearly now. You have a lot of these guys that have stood up to us, and we didn't agree with them, but in reality they made some good points, just handled incorrectly. w00t believe in power and control, and I use that power and control to right the balance in EBW, just like I have in a Kingdom that is prospering! That's right, you can all boo me, but I have a legitimate Kingdom that is prospering, and I don't care if you don't like that! Hazen, also believes in order, and national pride. I'm proud of my accomplishments. I'm proud of what I've built. I'm proud of my family.

Trevor Mach: Heh, famil-

Tack Angel: YES! FAMILY! ...Void, wants to deconstruct our society, and maybe he has a point, when this society cheers you and boos me. You're all cheering a liar. You're cheering a wicked, deceitful bastard! He's a hypocrite, and he's a thief! You delight in torturing me! You stole my belt, and gave it to that dishonest, good for NOTHING Tali.

Trevor Mach: You want that belt back, you can have it. You just have to beat her for it, and stop talking about-

Tack Angel: BEAT HER FOR IT?! IT'S MY BELT BY RIGHT! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BEAT YOUR THIEVING BI-

Trevor Mach: You stop right there, if you don't want me jumping across this table to choke the life out of you! Don't talk about her. You talk about hypocrites? You spent the better part of nearly two years fending off threats to that cult of yours!

Tack Angel: Cu-

Trevor Mach: YES! A *bleep*ING CULT! You get them to all bow down to you, prostrate themselves before you, act like peasants in the sight of their GOD! You make so many brain washed and pretty girls suck your dick, you might as well be making movies! Amy is your wife! You married her! You had a kid with her! You barely even wanted to hold her hand in public, but now you're stringing up poor Nani by the nipples on TELEVISION!

Tack Angel: She volunteered to-

Trevor Mach: I don't care what she volunteered to do! YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING THEM DO IT!

Tack Angel: They show me their love, cause they know how much I love them! I love them all more than you could possibly imagine, and I love them in a real way, not the way you and "her" claim to. Stealing my title belt and defiling it. You must feel like a big shot huh? You found a new way to torture me, the both of you. I even gave you what you wanted and you still tormented me, and kept the title. You're the not the hero here. You're just living out your sadistic desi-

Trevor Mach: What I do with my wife, is at the end of the day, my business, and I would LOVE to say the same for you and your one wife, but you took on a bunch of mistresses, and some of them deserve better. Your kids deserve better. They deserve that old Tack, who was a decent dude. You're the hypocrite and the one who changed.

Tack Angel: I am the REACTION! This is what YOU brought on. The same thing happened to Subculture. He brought it on and he got hurt. Benjamin brought it on and he got hurt. That is what happens. w00t and Hazen got smart, and they have a place at the table. You insist on defying what's quickly becoming the new normal, and it's going to get you hurt, and it's ALL YOUR FAULT! I have NOT been action. I have been reaction. You were always the catalyst for things, and I had to pick up the pieces. You don't have that anymore, and look where you are. You're miserable and alone.

Trevor Mach: Is that what you think? You know you're right about one thing. I AM action. I took action when you went bad, and make no mistake, you did go bad. Bad recognizes bad, but the difference is I choose to be good, even if it isn't always in my nature. My time with my wife and my children is spent tempering that angry feeling. I love them with ever fiber of my being, and that's even a good thing for you, and I'll tell you why. I'll even let you in on a not so well kept secret. You know how people say they see red when they're angry? That's me. I'm talking red, like I'm seeing the world through blood in my eyes. So that shit, is actually true, and sometimes, I would see red a lot. The Mach family curse you could say. It's like a rage fever that takes over, BUT I'm in a place where I am in control. I decide if I see red. I decide if I'm going to let that rage take over. That rage is why you call me an egotist, when really, I'm just more successful in the ring than you, because I was willing to let it ride, and see red until it was done. I know that when I'm with my children, or with my wife, that they deserve better. They deserve the best of me, and believe it or not, I tried to be the best friend I could be to you too. You had my friendship and respect. I don't apologize for a damn thing.

Tack Angel: You think you were a good friend? You treated me like a joke, and you still do to this day. So you let yourself get mad? Fine. I let myself get real, and the reality is that I am only allowed to be humble, gracious, and kind, when people like you are put in your place. Then, I can be "myself" again, but that won't happen until you kneel, and the rest will, and then it can be done. You can see red all you want, but it doesn't change destiny.

Trevor Mach: I needed to be with Tali, because she is my center. The trust is, I spent too much time trying to be your friend, and it got in the way of the life I was building for myself. Now I have brothers in Blood 4 Blood, and I've never been more in love with that wonderful wild woman that threw me through a wall. I have more time for my kids. I have more time to reflect on myself, and make the CHOICE to clean up your messes. I just needed some reminders that TnT is dead. The Bad Dudes are dead. Now, it's just man vs. man. No destiny here "pal". If your destiny says you beat me, then I say to hell with that. You've gone too far. You threatened my family, and you nearly got Derek killed. Whether he deserved it or not isn't relevant to me.

Tack Angel: Because he's your cousi-

Trevor Mach: BECAUSE HE HAS A SON!

Tack Angel: Yeah? Well I have a son on the way, and a lot of daughters, and a lot of people that rely on me, and they need me. They need me to be strong. They need me to be King. So I'm fine with TnT being dead, but that doesn't mean I won't stop until you kneel, and I will not allow you to have these titles. The egotist does NOT get another reign of terror. Not anymore.  

Trevor Mach: You think so? Sign the contract.

Tack Angel: ...I have a suggestion. You and will both agree to keep our associates in the back. My loyal knights, and the "friends" you're currently manipulating to bury like everyone else. It'll just be you against me, in a Last Man Standing match.

Trevor Mach: Last Man Standing?

Tack Angel: Yes. No Bushido Rules sure, but on the other hand, when I hit the Clutch Winged Angel, you have the golden opportunity of an extra 7 seconds. You might be the first person to get hit by it, and actually get back to your feet. It is just, and it is fair. It's very much symbolic too. You have been trying to keep me down for years.

Trevor Mach: That's such bullshit! You were supposed to be the symbol of the company, but you were more interested in getting your dick wet and sleeping around!

Tack Angel: That is NOT true! I gave so much...SO MUCH TO EBW! SO MUCH TO THESE FANS! I tried and tried to be a friend that would talk you off the ledge, but you always had every intention of jumping. I'm going to stand my ground here. I'm going to insist on this. Last Man Standing. It's one thing to pin you. I can do that. You've shown you can submit people. However, this is more...humiliating....for the loser. When you lose, I'll insist the EMTs stay back, so the only way you can get up and out, is through me. You'll have to kneel, apologize, learn some humility, and become a better person for it. You'll thank me. Your family will thank me too.

Trevor Mach: You know, my family loves me unconditionally, and I love them unconditionally. They helped me grow up and mature just enough to see through all your bullshit Tack. I'm fine with the condition, but when I beat you, you'll have to make a choice for YOUR family. The belts or the crown. You won't get a rematch until you drop this King act. YOUR family will thank ME for that.

Tack Angel: No, not a chance. They support me 100% and when I win, I guarantee you'll NEVER get a title shot. In fact, I'd say you never get a chance to be Triple Crown World Champion again. No shot at the 4-Crown King title either. Hell, that definitely means, you won't reach these heights, of being the one and only wrestler to reach 5-Crown Supremacy. That's something I have that you'll NEVER have Mr. Egotist. Last Man Standing. Do you accept?

Trevor Mach: I accept. When this is all over, I WILL BE the Last Man Standing.

Tack Angel: No, when this is over, you will diminish. You'll fall back into the life of a family man, which is great, but you'll just be beaten man, and I will still be King, the rightful King, and the holder of 5-Crown Supremacy.

ENN News Break!

Chaz Hardcastle: Hello ENN viewers, it's Chaz Hardcastle here with a special announcement! Our big Halloween Spooktacular promises to be the best one yet. We'll have horror movies all day and night, hosted by Joe Bob Briggs. We'll have costume contests, and more! It's going to be great, but I bet you're wondering where the wrestling is. Wrestling is in the life blood of our wonderful network, that promotes values for the new normal. We can't have a Halloween special without wrestling right? Well good news, you won't have to worry, because EBW contracts are also ENN contracts, and though I couldn't task President Swift to put on a Halloween show, as he said it "conflicts with the blood, sweat, and tears coming from the E1 Climax", I knew you wouldn't be satisfied without it. We're setting up a special ring and set at ENN HQ. Come down and put on your best costumes for this one folks, cause it's going to be full of the things YOU want to see. Since Trevor Mach has no problem flying back and forth on the company dime, I figured he could main event the show against Hazen, in a No Rules Electrified Ring Death Match! Dan Club? Well, they seem so preoccupied lately, that I want to see them at their best! They're the champions of our future after all. Dan and Benjamin will be taking on old friends from VBW in Razorblade and Mr. Scary, and it will be a First Blood Tornado Tag. I want to see what our talent can do against two men who like to make people bleed for a living. Also, the women of EBW will show you what they've got in a Sexy Costume Battle Royale. If you got the invite you MUST attend ladies. We ARE flying you back for a reason, so don't let the viewers down! Keep in mind this will be on ENN+, so you have to get the service upgrade, but I think it's generous we didn't put in on ENN++ or higher, considering the VALUE you're getting. I understand we might even hear from Void and Undeth? What could they be up to. Remember how if it's wrestling related it's exempt from prosecution?! We have such WEIRD laws right?! The show will open with the cast of our hit reality program The Ultimate EBW traveling to Threed, where they will take part in a Zombie Escape. What does that mean? Let's just say that Dr. Z is begging us not to do it, so it's gonna be fun. Don't miss it, because Joe Bob Briggs will be there too! Isn't that right Joe Bob?

Joe Bob Briggs: It's gonna be something alright. We got your spooky-fu, your wrestle-fu, your sexy-fu, and everything in between. You know, I would never do something that would violate my personal principles, but I would do anything for 200 bucks, so yeah I'll be there. Let's do this. I mean, there's only so much, softcore hippie lesbo porn I can watch before I think to myself "this is gonna make my penis fall off, I can't do this forever". I mean seriously, I once did a show where we watched a movie called "She's 19 and Ready". Well, I can tell you she was 45, she was never gonna be ready, and you didn't WANT her to be ready for that matter. I can't imagine sitting down, drinking a beer, and watching some ol' rasslin could be any worse than that? I mean I gave those movies my all. I embraced them. That's what I do, I embrace movies. I didn't embrace that skank, I was being metaphorical, but you get my point. We're calling it Joe Bob's Demon Boogie! Be there!

Vegan Steve's Pumpkin Patch

Jammer and Vape approached the modest pumpkin fields, with a wheel barrow.

Jammer: We have to get a lot of these, if we're going to do a pumpkin carving contest. Guess what I'm going to carve mine in-

Vape: A basketball.

Jammer: ...Well I mean...they're both orange.

Vape: I only want to see two pumpkins personally, and they belong to-

Jammer: I don't want to hear it right now. It's bad enough we'll be chased by Zombies in Threed, but you'll be chasing Crystal Clear, who is being chased by Zombies in Threed. Crystal has it rough.

Vape: Not yet! Hahah- *cough cough* I choked on my gum.

Vegan Steve: Hello! Welcome to Vegan Steve's Pumpkin Patch!

Vape: Too many Steves.

Jammer: Never enough Steves, but too many vegans.

Vape: He's the only one we know.

Jammer: Chad Salad isn't vegan?

Vape: ...Not lately.

Jammer: Oh right. Zombie.

Vegan Steve: A vegan is the best person to sell you a pumpkin! I know a good pumpkin when I see one.

Jammer: Uh-huh.

Vape: We've been gourd users for a long time, but we figured it was time for an upgrade.

Vegan Steve: You've never purchased a pumpkin before? What are you carving in the fall then?

Vape: ...Watermelons mostly, but they're out of season and don't taste quite right.

Vegan Steve: We DO offer gourd conversion therapy.

Jammer: What? No. We just want the pumpkins. We'll start with that one over there.

Vegan Steve: That one? That's just a rental.

Vape: We're really looking to own actually.

Vegan Steve: You really think you're ready to go in raw and just OWN a pumpkin. Takes a lot of responsibility.

Jammer: This is stupid.

Vape: Ever since I was a kid, I promised myself that by 17 I'd own a pumpkin, have a beautiful head of hair, and lose my virginity! I'm *cough cough* #^ now, and I failed on all three fronts. The LEAST I can do is make up for lost time with a pumpkin!

Vegan Steve: Great, we'll do a background check and get you some pumpkins. You want the two year warranty?

Vape: ABSOLUTE-

Jammer: No! No! Hang on! *on his cell phone* What? We're NOT going to Threed? Dr. Z says we'd be exploiting Zombies? Wasn't that literally the point? Oh...you have something better? You already hung up and I'm just saying things out loud to avoid talking to Vegan Steve? Wonderful. Sounds great.

Vape: ...I'll still take the pumpkins.

Later...

Crystal Lake - Crystal Heaven

An ENN+ LIVE! broadcast began with some guitar and harmonica playing, as a man in a cowboy hat sipped a beer next to a trailer in the middle of the woods.

Joe Bob Briggs: Joe Bob Briggs here, and welcome to Demon Boogie. That's right Demon Boogie. It's a night where Demons....Boogie. That's the reason for the name, and it just sounds cool. Demon Boogie. I'm your host for the night, and it appears we've had some changes, considering we are NOT in Threed. I thought I drove the trailer in the wrong direction, but then I remember I don't have to drive the trailer. The producers have people that do that sort of thing. So what are we doing in the middle of the woods? Well, this is Crystal Lake, and many a scary night have I witnessed what kind of fun one could have at a Crystal Lake. I'm joined by the cast of another ENN show The Ulitmate EBW. See, I always called it THE TUE, which would be The The Ultimate EBW, but where I come from, you just stick a THE in front of anything, and it ain't no thing. I want to go to THE Wal-Mart for example. You would know I'm talking about the one on the good side of town. The one with my kind of pork rinds. THE Wal-Mart. So, they're over there toasting marshmallows and telling scary stories, cause it's Halloween, and this is what you do on Halloween.

Jammer: Not exactly. I was going to go to a costume party with my girlfriend but-

Vape: Hey, if I have to be alone on Halloween, then so do you!

Crystal Clear: Who said you had to be alone?

Vape: Huh?!

Giorno Giovanni: This is counter productive.

Aoife Aisling: You say that a lot dude, but if you weren't here right now, you wouldn't get one of my famous smores. The secret, is that I burn the marshmallow to a cinder!

Giorno Giovanni: ...I'll take one.

Aoife Aisling: Yeah you will.

Mitra Lennox: In my country, we do not celebrate Halloween. Every day is a day to remember the dead, because any day you might join them.

Aoife Aisling: ...That's...that's "uplifting". Truly.

Megumin: Do we need the fire to RISE! I CAN USE AN EXPLOSIO-

Dajh: Nah! You ain't doing that again! You nearly singed the hair last time!

Virgil Boyd: I thought about dressing in costume for this, but I figured dressing as a skeleton or zombie might offend someone. Might be too on the nose.

Aoife Aisling: Dude, you're already too on the nose, and when you're on the nose, and I stare at you for too long, it makes my eyes bleed! Besides, dress how you want. Why would it offend anyone?

Virgil Boyd: You're right. I'll be back. I have a great idea!

Jammer: *sigh* So Dr. Z didn't want us doing the Zombie escape. That's fine. Whatever. I don't want my team to get eaten anyways, but what are we doing out here that's so important?

Vape: Isn't it obvious? It's Crystal Lake, and what happens at Crystal Lake?

Jammer: ...I mean...I KNOW what happens, but you don't watch scary movies.

Vape: I know enough to know what happens though.

Jammer: Then why are you excited?

Vape: Come on man, this is where the counselors "get it on"!

Jammer: ...You DO know what happens after right?

Vape: No? I never watch that far ahead. Why? Is it something bad?

Jammer: Don't worry about it.

Vape: I never thought of it like that.

Joe Bob Briggs: Ladies and gents, you're here tonight, because it's Halloween, but Michael is busy in theaters right now, and Jason is too expensive, but we got the next best thing! The man from Crystal Lake, that was once sucked out of a space station air lock. That's right folks this killer actually went to space before he came back as a zombie. How often does THAT happen. It's Zombie Slayer!

Slayer suddenly lurched out of the trees and stabbed a guy hanging out nearby in the back, before causing the others to scatter in fear.

Jammer: WHO WAS THAT GUY?!

Vape: NO IDEA! HE WAS JUST HANGING OUT!

Jammer: WE NEED TO FIND CAR PARTS NOW! I'VE SEEN HOW THIS WORKS!

As they all ran off into the woods, Virgil Boyd came back....dressed as Slayer.

Virgil Boyd: Hey guys, I'm ba- WHOA! Your costume is MUUUUUCH cooler than mine. Wait...is that a real dead guy?

Joe Bob Briggs: It's Demon BOOGIE! 4 Stars Joe Bob says CHECK IT OUT!





Larry Grim: Welcome to ENN HQ, here in Saturn City. It's Halloween, and that means it's time for wrestling. They're totally related! It's Joe Bob's Demon Boogie 2021, and I'm here because it's easy for me to just show up at any place and time, but also HELLO, I'm the Grim Reaper. I'd show up even if I WASN'T invited, and that actually happens a lot. People don't invite me many places.

Makoto Angel: Well guess what? I'm here too!

Larry Grim: Whoa! How did you-

Makoto Angel: Grabbed your robe as you disappeared into that dark cloud to get here.

Larry Grim: What?! Makoto, that was the Abyss!

Makoto Angel: Huh?

Larry Grim: Purgatory! The space between spaces!

Makoto Angel: .....

Larry Grim: The sights drive the living to madness! The bleaks nothingness! Also no oxygen!

Makoto Angel: ...I DID close my eyes and hold my breath if that helps.

Larry Grim: Uh...you MIGHT be possessed. I'm just saying. However, we have a show to cover. It's not TECHNICALLY an EBW show, but it's totally an EBW show. We start with a Sexy Costume Battle Royale!

Makoto Angel: I was going to enter contest until I found out it was a battle royale. I had a cool costume ready. I was going to be Tuxedo Mask.

Larry Grim: I'm sure that would've confused the hell out of your husband for years to come. You're not the only one opting out. Christina Angel, our Women's World and Television Champion, has said no. She's focusing on the mercenaries, and wants nothing to do with exploitation. Hope Mach? She said the same thing. A Mach and Angel that seem to remain on the same page. Jenny James and Lainey Strong are stepping in. Jenny is decked out just like Jammer, and Lainey is like Benjamin. They both looked at each other like "hey I was going to be the one dress like a member of Dan Club". Really they took the idea from Hope dressing like Dan, her fiancee. Well sort of right? How are we addressing this?

Makoto Angel: Uh...we're not! Let's head to the ring to see who wins this Sexy Costume Battle Royale!

ENN+ Presents: Joe Bob's Demon Boogie 2021
ENN HQ, Saturn City
ENN+

1. Sexy Costume Battle Royale: Christina Angel vs. Hope Mach Jenny James vs. Lainey Strong vs. Esther vs. Lily Belle Hopper vs. Gold vs. Alison Chains vs. Sister Mercy vs. Korra vs. Hilda Iceheart vs. Wendy Mustang
-A silly battle royale to start the event, as the girls were all dressed up, as was the crowd, but several of the ladies were scantily clad, especially the two bunny girls, which made the Dads turn their kids away, while obviously continuing to look on grinning. Little is known about Sister Mercy, but she refused to dress up any differently, instead keeping his habit and trying to make a habit out of stay in the ring? Eh? Korra was the first to be thrown out by Mercy, and then the two "harlots" Esther and Lily. Wendy Mustang was the one to eliminate Mercy and Gold, before getting taken out by Lainey and Jenny. Alison chains tried to chain herself to the ring, and swung at any one coming near her, but Jenny got clever and whipped Lainey in Chains. The two got tangled up together, as Jenny chucked them out, winning the Battle Royale.
Sexy Costume Battle Royale: Christina Angel vs. Hope Mach Jenny James vs. Lainey Strong vs. Esther vs. Lily Belle Hopper vs. Gold vs. Alison Chains vs. Sister Mercy vs. Korra vs. Hilda Iceheart vs. Wendy Mustang
Winner:

Jenny James

Larry Grim: And that's a win for Jenny James. No longer a biker. I think the sporty looks suits her better.

Makoto Angel: From one sporty girl to another, I say go for it.

Larry Grim: The spooky matches are just beginning, with Dan Club stepping into the ring to take on Razorblade and Mr. Scary in a No Rules grudge match of sorts. A First Blood Tornado Tag. Razor and Scary are masters of blood, so this could get tricky tricky tricky Uuu!

2. First Blood Tornado Tag: Bashin Dan/Benjamin vs. Razorblade[VBW]/Mr. Scary[VBW]
-A frantic battle with fan favorites taking on the lethal duo VBW. They brought weapons and went out of their way to try and put the hurt on Dan and Benji to bust them up, but the duo came out in street clothes, with long sleves, and hats. Basically costumes for Halloween, but they also offered a bit of protection against the weapons. Mr. Scary entered the ring with an actual knife, but Benji picked him up and speared him into the corner. He hit a over the head belly-to-belly suplex then picked up the knife and put it in his belt. Why? Because he suddenly pulled out the legendary Masamune. Razorblade nailed Dan across the back with the chair a few times, taking him to the mat before trying to gouge and bite his forehead, but Dan pulled him into a triangle, and punched away at his forehead, trying to draw blood. Mr. Scary ducked and dodged as Benji playfully swung his sword. The slasher didn't seem to care, and laughed maniacally, before ditching his partner in the ring. Benji stood over the trapped Razorblade, and Benji lifted his sword into the air. He brought it down near Razor's head, but stopped it just in time, and made the smallest little cut on his forehead. A tiny stream of blood ended the match, in a subversion of expectations. Not a lot of blood, but some ingenuity.
First Blood Tornado Tag: Bashin Dan/Benjamin[o] beat Razorblade[VBW][x]/Mr. Scary[VBW] via Masamune "slash" -> First Blood  

Larry Grim: Well look at that! Dan Club with a clever win. Razorblade continues to regret tangling with the Dan Club I bet. Well while we get the ring ready for the main event, let's see how it's going in Crystal Lake.

Makoto Angel: Let's hope it's going well!

Crystal Lake - Crystal Heaven

The teams continued to run around screaming, trying to get an old car to work, as they dodged bear traps spread all over the ground. Slayer was following them with a large pole, that had a bleeding Virgil Boyd being dragged along with it screaming.

Joe Bob Briggs: Well look at that, we got Zombie-fu, pole-fu, gratuitous Virtual Boy references, and gratuitous car repair. Back to the show! You know, if you want to hurt your eyes staring at something, just trying watching Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D, and I mean the old 3D. Those glasses would kill you. Migraine city. Then again, you had the choice of two colors. It's not like staring into a neon red box that's killing your eyes. Probably doesn't hurt as much as being impaled and dragged on the ground though. Back to you!

Back to the announce table, Larry Grim and Makoto stared in stunned silence.

3. No Rules Electrified Ropes Death Match: Hazen beat Trevor Mach via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin
-The main event saw Trevor Mach and Hazen battle it out in a bloody Electrified Ropes Death Match. A disgruntled and travel weary Mach laid into the newly minted Knight of Crystal Heaven. He threw a bunch of weapons out of a trash can. He used a barbed wire baseball bat against Hazen on the stage. He then bashed Hazen with a kendo stick. Hazen threw powder in his eyes. Mach swung wildly, but Hazen toyed with him. He threw Mach into the ropes which sparked brightly. Hazen made the cover, but Mach kicked out. Hazen bashed Mach with the kendo stick next. When Hazen went for a figure-four, Mach kicked him into the ropes. Sparks flew and electricity flowed. Hazen bounced back, but Mach kicked him into the ropes a second time. More sparks. Mach, back on his feet, overhead suplexed Hazen into the electrified ropes on the other side. Mach set up a Trevorplex onto a barbed wire wrapped chair. Hazen escaped. Mach gave Hazen a Release Hagen Suplex. Mach then side slammed Hazen onto the barbed wire wrapped chair. The chair stuck to Hazen’s pants. w00t suddenly came out and tossed what appeared to be clown make up into Trevor's face. Blinded a second time, the Bad Man stumbled into the ropes on his own, but as the sparks flew he seemed to start digging it, getting the crowd behind him as he gritted his teeth and grabbed the ropes again. He reached out and grabbed Hazen, shocking Hazen by proxy. w00t stopped the fun with a wKo that brought down Mach. The advisor to the Constellation King helped Hazen set up Mach for the Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver, as Hazen pinned him for the win. After the match, w00t brandished more clown make up, and applied it to the downed Trevor.

w00t: Consider this a message from the Crystal Kingdom! Tack proved that he is King worthy! That man wanted to be a King, and he IS a King. He finally reached the same conclusion I had about you though. You're clown! You're jester! Might as well look the part. Once a jester, always a jester!

Larry Grim: Putting clown make up on Trevor Mach! What disrespectful move.

Makoto Angel: Guys, I don't think Tack would want them going THIS far! That being said, and I think Trevor would agree, it's kind of pointless to put clown make up on an already goofy man.

Larry Grim: Who grabs an electrified rope just to shock someone else?! He is QUITE goofy. That's putting it nicely, and I consider him a pal! I'd be willing to put money down that Tali Mach felt those shocks too. Possibly literally. Don't ask me why. We're going to see how it's going at Crystal Lake one more time before we head out for the night, but have a very happy Halloween.

Makoto Angel: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Crystal Lake - Crystal Heaven

Jammer and Vape finally got the car going, as Vape frantically drove with everyone except Boyd packing into the car.

Vape: I can't see very well! You got the map! Navigate!

Jammer: Why are you driving?!

Vape: I found the keys!

Jammer: Doesn't mean you couldn't have HANDED them over!

Vape: Navigate!

Jammer: Go right!

Vape: AH!

Jammer: NO RIGHT!

Vape: AH!

Jammer: Why aren't you going right?!

Vape: CAN'T HELP IT!

Jammer: JUST TURN RIGHT! He's standing on the left!

Vape: AH!

Jammer: GIVE ME THE WHEEL!

The car narrowly swerved away, driving off to safety at last.

Jammer: *sigh* I think we're missing someone.

Vape: It's OK. The Virtual Boy didn't have a long life span to begin with. He was literally going to die in a few months anyways.

Jammer: NONE OF THIS IS OK!

Vape: ...We're going to need a new student.

Jammer: ....

Vape: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Jammer: ...Just drive....just drive.
