Jeff Andonuts Lab - Crystal Heaven

Jeff was hard at work behind a computer, when he was interrupted by two figures.

Jeff Andonuts: Oh...this is foreboding...this isn't good at al-

Degrees: Jeff? Hey man. Merry Christmas!

Jeff Andonuts: Huh? Degrees? What are you doing here?

Degrees: Well, I was asked to check on Tack's progress, but more to the point...you invited me.

Jeff Andonuts: Oh right!

Jackson Kain: Don't forget about me! You know it's hard enough putting my movie career on hold to train for an in-ring return to give that Void a run for his money, without having to pass through Crystal Heaven customs! Yes, the metal detector is going to go off with my belt. Have you see this thing?!

Jeff Andonuts: I'm sorry guys, but I didn't know who else to get in touch with for this project. We have a lot of work to do. You ready for some exposition?

Degrees: It's going to be one of those days huh?

Jackson Kain: What else is new.

Jeff Andonuts: The symbiote warned me that someone was coming and-

Jackson Kain: The what now?

Jeff Andonuts: That alien in the tank right over there.

Jackson Kain: ...That's not a prop? Looks like something from one of my movies.

Jeff Andonuts: I don't want to freak you out, but it's....an alien.

Jackson Kain: .....

Degrees: Remember who you're talking to.

Jeff Andonuts: Oh right. SO! You know about the multiple Earths right?

Jackson Kain: ...That one's new on me.

Degrees: Of course I know all about it. I was there when...IT happened.

Jackson Kain: Did I miss something?

Degrees: The near destruction of all reality.

Jackson Kain: ...Dammit, what did you guys do?

Jeff Andonuts: It wasn't our fault! Listen, Face and Gordon Cole have been in contact with me. They want us to look into possible trouble regarding the multiple Earths!

Jackson Kain: ...Huh?

Degrees: Dimension hopping? Us? Why?

Jeff Andonuts: Well, for starters we all have experience with this sort of thing. Two, if it's presented as a wrestling program, people won't believe it's real, and the organization can deny all connection to it.

Jackson Kain: Um...that's great and all, and I'm absolutely down to go dimension hopping to get some movie ideas, but here's the big question....how?

Degrees: Didn't the government destroy all time machines after definitive proof that Tack Angel interrupted the timeline for selfish reasons?

Jeff Andonuts: You forget who you're talking to! I can easily EASILY create a machine that traverses space-time, BUT...we have one problem. I need like...a LOT of cash. I need to figure out where to get-

Jackson Kain: I have an idea about that actually. I know a guy...he was a producer for a lot of my films. He's just...a little off.

Summers Beach

The three men approached a strange man in a green mask, a hat, and tropical shirt.

Jackson Kain: Boys, this here is my good good friend Mr. Herb!

Mr. Herb: It's pronounced Herb.

Jackson Kain: Yes. Herb.

Mr. Herb: Herb.

Jackson Kain: I said that.

Degrees: What's with the mask?

Mr. Herb: Well if you must know, I am green and I am retired.

Degrees: What?

Mr. Herb: I am green, and I am retired.

Jackson Kain: Guys, he's green and he's retired.

Jeff Andonuts: But what does that mean? You're green?

Mr. Herb: And retired. You can't forget that last part. It's part of the whole thing. How can I be green, if I'm not retired too?

Jeff Andonuts: I don't know what you're talking about.

Mr. Herb: Listen, the important thing here, the underlying fact....is that I'm green and I am retired.

Jackson Kain: Well listen Mr. Herb, I know you're retired and you're green.

Mr. Herb: Go ooooon. You know how to make me listen. You know my language. I'm retired and I'm green by the way.

Jackson Kain: I'm looking for an investor right now. We're talking ground floor, entry level innovation like you've never seen before.

Mr. Herb: That appeals to a man who is green and retired.

Jackson Kain: We just need a small start up fee of 4.8 Million dollars.

Mr. Herb: And you're saying we won't squander that money because it's a good investment.

Jackson Kain: Absolutely. It's a great product, because we have NO product. Zero overhead. The plan is, we start at a loss, we stay at a loss for 10-43 years, and then we cash out. You know this is a good business plan. You made enough to retire after all...and you're green.

Mr. Herb: Yes yes, you almost forgot that last part, but I am green as well as retired.

Jackson Kain: Yes, you're green, and that's the color of legal tender in this country baby.

Mr. Herb: Don't I know it, because I'm green, and I know all the facts about green things. You've got yourself a deal!

Jackson Kain: I knew you'd be in. You won't regret it.

Jeff Andonuts: He's going to regret it.

Jackson Kain: No, he won't because if we have a time machine, we can make some money to pay it back surely!

Jeff Andonuts: Uh....surely.

Degrees: Well, he's got the cash, but what's the next step in the #masterplan?

Jeff Andonuts: Well, we need a machine, which I can create with the right equipment, but some of this money needs to be used to buy us a promotion and time slot. This is all supposed to look like a wrestling show.

Jackson Kain: Well it better ACTUALLY be a wrestling show too.

Jeff Andonuts: Well of course, because wrestling IS the most important thing in these situations.

Jackson Kain: That's how we saved the world...and then I died....but I got better...and had a great E1 run....and then that momentum died...and I went back to making movies. Well that's my story.

Degrees: I'm in, because this seems important, and we're all friends that go way back. However, what promotion could you possibly be thinking of buying?

Jeff Andonuts: .....

TUE House

Narrator: Christmas is quickly approaching, and the TUE House was given the week off to celebrate, but-

Jammer: Alright, cut the shit narrator, cause I have got to get down to the bottom of this. Why....OH WHY....did you throw the match Mitra? You're not another one of those mercs incognito are you?

Mitra Lennox: No. I believe that storyline has run course.

Jammer: Huh? Storyline? So, you're not with them?

Mitra Lennox: No.

Jammer: Then why?

Aoife Aisling: Is it cause you're a bitch!?

Mitra Lennox: Potentially. You Aoife...you make joke. You make joke one time too many. I do not like this. I want no part of assisting a joker.

Aoife Aisling: "Oh, look at me! I'm so super serious! I put my hair up to square up, and I have no individual unique traits! I'm just a stereotypical tough gal!" That's you. That's you right now.

Mitra Lennox: ...This is why I throw match. Coach, I will not lose my singles match. I will get win for you and for me.

Jammer: Oh...well..being a team player is still nice...but getting me a win over this guy is great too.

Vape: Your team is falling apart!

Jammer: No it isn't.

Mitra Lennox: It is not.

Aoife Aisling: Yeah, I don't care that much! We'll beat your team, and then I'll beat her in the Finale!

Vape: Oh no! A united front with a vision to defeat me!

Jammer: We all know that we got to beat Team Vape, so we'll focus on that, and then you guys can work out your issue....in the ring-a! Great minds think a like.

Mr. Herb: I'm sorry, did you say green minds think alike, because I'm always saying that myself.

Jammer: Huh?

Vape: Who are you?

Mr. Herb: I'll tell you what I am, which is green and retired. I'm not NOT green, and definitely not NOT retired.

Jammer: ...What are you....what are you doing here....green and retired man. We're uh...we're kind of busy.

Mr. Herb: While it is true that I am green and retired, which by the way I very much am, I still like to throw a little of my retirement green around, and the Nester family sold me the land around this house for Onett's first golf course for green retirees.

Jammer: ...Ness's last name was Nester?

Vape: They sold the land around the house?! But that would indicate that they were unhappy with the TUE situation, and are trying to sabotage us! I never got that vibe from them!

Jammer: The Nester family literally defected to that other promotion! Of course they want to screw us over. This was their house!

Mr. Herb: And now a man who is both green and retired is going to start putting around the house, so don't mind me, I'm just green and retired.

Jammer: ....This whole thing is getting out of hand. Look, we're on break for Christmas, but they want us to announce the matches coming up on the next episode, so let's do this.

Vape: Fine. Megumin will be taking on Mitra, and Crystal Clear will be taking on Aoife.

Jammer: And on the men's side Zyro Kurogane will take on Onde Sonore, and Giorno Giovanni will take on Dajh. Winners will advance, but we have to remember that the losers could lose their spot on the roster permanently, if we don't beat the members of the previous season. So we can't give up on any of them.

Vape: I feel like my team has given up on me...except for Crystal Clear. Jam man...it happened.

Jammer: What happened?

Vape: I got kissed!

Jammer: What?!

Vape: It was AMAZING! I told Crystal that I appreciated the investment made in Vape Coin and-

Jammer: Wait stop...actually no I don't care. Go on.

Vape: Crystal was excited and kissed me on the cheek before blushing and running off! I think you're right. Crystal might....ACTUALLY....like me.

Jammer: That's great man. That's really great. I'm so happy for you.

Vape: Crystal is great. I never noticed before cause I was fixated on the loli in my team. Crystal is great. Crystal has the sweetest voice, the best attitude, the cutest adam's apple.

Jammer: That's grea-what?!

Vape: Crystal really is something. Well, if you'll excuse me.

Jammer: Wait....wait....wait what? Vape? Wait....wait what? WHAT?!

Battle Spirits Dojo

The Dan Club reunited for a Christmas party, inviting The Shark Order as well, and everyone seemed to be in good spirits....except for Bashin Dan. He sat in the corner thinking and looking to the other side of the room, where Hope Mach was caught looking at him briefly before continuing to talk to Lainey, Gold, and Jenny.

Jammer: Uh...Danny boy, you....you just going to sit there all night?

Vape: We're having a party man. It's time to celebrate! It's cool too, cause we locked out students in the TUE House, so we can be out for hours!

Jammer: Do you...do you think those doors only lock from the outside? Also, most of them are old enough to go where they want. Speaking of TUE, we really need to talk about Crystal Cle-

Vape: Later man, we've got to help out Dan right now.

Benjamin: She's here Dan, and that says to me, she wants to reconcile. You two were never much for fighting.

Bashin Dan: I think I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it.

Benjamin: It's Christmas. A time for miracles apparently.

Vape: It IS a time for miracles, because I found my pants.

Jammer: Then...why aren't you wearing them?

Vape: ...I...I got too big for them.

Jammer: For crying out loud man!

Bashin Dan: ...

On the other side of the room, the ladies continued talking...

Jenny James: He's looking right over here. Looks like a scolded puppy dog.

Hope Mach: Serves him right!

Gold: You don't mean that.

Hope Mach: He could have told me!

Lainey Strong: Let's be real here. That was an embarrassing sitution for both of you, and how do you actually tell someone what happened in that situation without it getting ugly?

Hope Mach: Which side are you on here?

Jenny James: Hope, I'll deck the dude if you want. Deck his halls, and by that I mean punch his balls. Jammer would probably laugh before helping him up. It'd be hilarious.

Hope Mach: No...no we can't do that. I think...I think I should just go. My Dad is probably alone with with my baby brother and sister tonight. Mom is in jail.

Jenny James: That sounds about right.

Hope Mach: I should probably just go. Merry Christmas ladies, I-

Bashin Dan: HOOOOOOOOPE!

Hope Mach: Eh?

Jenny James: Oh here we go.

Lainey Strong: This ought to be good.

Gold: Yeah.

Dan stood up, and the crowd parted, as the two looked at each other from across the room.

Bashin Dan: Hope, it's Christmas, and I don't want to spend this holiday miserable and alone. Truth is, I used to be fine as long as I had this....my deck of cards. This meant everything to me, and I spent so much time playing games, that I lost the ability to express all my feelings. The truth is that I would very very much like to be engaged to you, but I was too scared to admit that I wasn't proposing just then. I don't know if I would have had the courage to do it otherwise, because you're the most amazing woman I've ever met, and I've met some incredible ones. You're truly the standout. I could have just kept my mouth shut and rolled with it, but I wanted to be honest. I want to be everything you deserve, and to that end, I'm going to do something, to show you just how much you mean to me.

Jammer and Vape brought in a metal trash can, and Benjamin tossed a match inside, setting a fire inside of it. Dan brandished his deck of cards and walked up to the can.

Bashin Dan: To show you, how much you mean to me, I'm going to set this deck of cards on fire. I'm going to get rid of them, because for the first time, something matters so much more, that's you. I-

Hope Mach: STOP!

Bashin Dan: Huh?

Hope Mach: Dan, this is incredibly awkward in front of everyone like this. You don't HAVE to burn your deck! I never wanted that. I just wanted you. I just wanted to be with you, and to know you wanted to be with me. It never had to be more complicated than that. I just...didn't think you wanted what I did.

Bashin Dan: I do. I just...always want to do my best, and to be honest, if I was proposing, that wouldn't be the best way to do it. I didn't even have a ring. I-I still don't. But wait...I...I have an idea.

Dan stepped around the can approached Hope. He got down on one knee, and presented her with his deck of cards.

Bashin Dan: You own my heart, it's only natural that you also own my deck.

Jammer and Jenny James: HA!

Bashin Dan: This is yours now, because I'm yours, and I always will be. Hope Mach, will you marry m-

Hope Mach: I already said yes you idiot! Of course I will! Keep your deck. I just want you.

Dan and Hope embraced and kissed. The party goers applauded, until the smoke from the can set off the sprinklers in the dojo. Everyone ran out of the building except for Dan and Hope, who ignored everything and everyone else, and lived in the moment.

Vape: Truly a Christmas miracl- OW! I tripped! My freaking knee! Jammer help me!

Sin City Detention Center

Snow was falling on the desert city for the first time in ages, as Trevor Mach slipped a card inside of an envelope outside of the detention center. With the help of Robo, Mach was elevated several stories up a wall, until he was able to see through the bars into Tali's cell. She sat against the wall, looking out the window at the night sky, with a snoring Rhea nearby.

Trevor Mach: *whispering* You look bored.

Tali Mach: *whispering* I was wondering when you were going to show up. I was just thinking about using this pillow to "muffle" Rhea over here.

Trevor Mach: *whispering* Can't stay long. I just wanted to give this card. I miss the hell out of you Lady. I love you.

Tali Mach: *whispering* Love you too.

Trevor Mach: *whispering* Merry Christmas Tali.

Trevor slipped the card through the bars. Tali could hear what sounded like Trevor slipping and falling into some trash cans in the alley, which made her have to stifle her laughter. She opened the card to see a picture of the family all together and a note.

Tali, I know that when you're in wrestling mode, you bury all the feelings except the ones that'll get the job done in the ring. That's the way you have to be behind bars too. However, you should keep this thought and memory deep down, in the place where you keep those happy thoughts. I'm with you always. I love you. Merry Christmas.

-Trevor

Tali Mach: Heh. Merry Christm- wait...what the hell was wrong with his eye?

Rhea Rampage: *snoring*

Tali Mach: *sigh* Shuuuuut uuuuuuup.

Tangelo: *low energy and borderline monotone: Tangelo here. How do. Christmas came and went. That happened. It was OK. Now, we move onto the end of the year. It's been quiet in terms of the independent affiliations as of late. This was due in part to fear over the Mushroom Head ++Delta Omega variant, that is far more infectious, even if you got the shot for it, but the symptoms were far less severe. I mean, you don't even wander off in odd directions anymore. You just sort of....get a mushroom on your head. For some reason, it seemed like a better idea to shoot themselves in the foot, but money talks, and the promotions are joining forces again to make some. An event called "Wrestling Unite!" will see talent from Mid-South, SDW, and EBW come together. That's right, even EBW is involved. After they diminished themselves over the mushroom thing, these others promotions are more than happy to work with the company they wanted to compete against. Again...money. You might also be wonder what happened with Mid-South. The rumor was not too long ago, that the company was being rebranded to #EVER 2.0. It turns out that the rights to the name were bought out for a large sum, so Mid-South is able to continue to run under its current name. Probably for the best. The show will feature the in-ring return of Little Mac, as he takes on Barry "The Master" Lawless, in a battle of the old school legends. The main event will see Magnum PT defend his Unified World Championship against Curry Man of 3'dPW, and Colby "The Eagleland Cheese" Roads. That's right, I said Roads. The man who splits his time between wrestling, a variety show, and a reality show with his glory hungry wife, somehow tracked down the name bandit, and took his last name back. When the match was announced on twitter, the comments were turned off, after too many people said they wouldn't watch the show due to Colby's involvement. Colby stated that when a large group of people threaten to stop watching because of one person, it's best to label them haters and continue forward, even if you're hurting your business by doing something counter productive. Can't argue with that logic. We'll also see SDW's newest sensation Edgelord Black take on Flying Man. He's a Satanist, and people seem to like that. He's cheered, and he's a Satanist. The man...is a Satanist. He's literally on the losing team. Whatever, I don't care. If you like him that's fine. I'm not judging. He is a Satanist though. Merry Christmas.

It IS the holidays though, so I'll try to be nice. Lucas...I'm sorry that your story is subpar compared to what came before. Ness and I know what's up.

Sin City Detention Center - Downtown Sin City, Eagleland

*It has been THREE WEEKS since Real M's and Rhea Rampage were arrested on MCW AFTERSHOCK in the fallout from MCW DESTINY. Alot has happened in those three weeks, including CHRISTMAS coming and going. But now both have been finally released from jail, after serving their time. Both Real M's and Rhea Rampage are led out the front gates of the Detention Center by a platoon of Sin City Police Officers, along with Warden Strong. The officers now release Real M's and Rhea Rampage from their shackles as Warden Strong looks on. After this is done, Warden Strong then motions for the officers to leave them alone. The officers leave as Warden Strong now addresses both ladies.....*

Warden Strong: Tali Mach.

*Real M's just nods her head in response to the officer.*

Warden Strong: Demi Ripley.

*Rhea Rampage just rolls her eyes in disgust at mention of her real name. Real M's just snickers in response. Rhea Rampage now turns to her and tells her...*

Rhea Rampage: HEY! Don't even THINK about starting that fucking shit with me again.

*Real M's just shakes her head "no" and tells her in response...*

Real M's: Wouldn't even think about it, Demi.

Rhea Rampage: UGH!

*Warden Strong just shakes his head in disgust. He now tells both ladies...*

Warden Strong: IF you two are finished, you both are free to go.

Real M's: FINALLY!

Rhea Rampage: I AGREE! It was about fucking time!

Warden Strong: And judging from you two's attitude, it won't be the last time either.

Real M's: And what is that suppose to mean?

Warden Strong: Nothing. Let's just say I'll be seeing you both in the future.

Real M's: Don't bet on it.

Warden Strong: HA! You keep forgetting that this is Sin City. We bet on EVERYTHING. And there is always one sure fire bet too.

Rhea Rampage: And what is that?

Warden Strong: That they always come back.

Real M's and Rhea Rampage: Right.

Warden Strong: So I'll definantly be seeing you ladies around!

*Warden Strong now begins to walk back into the Detention Center as both ladies watch him in disgust and anger. He now turns back to them and tells them both....*

Warden Strong: Oh and ladies, please tell Mr. Pirkle that it was pleasure doing business with him. It was the best payday I ever had.

*Warden Strong now begins laugh as he enters the Detention Center. The now fuming Real M's exclaims to herself in anger....*

Real M's: Mother fucker.

Rhea Rampage: I am gonna kill that son of bitch.

Real M's: Why kill him, Rhea...

Rhea Rampage: WHY?! Well for starters, THAT MOTHER FUCKER DESERVES IT!

Real M's: Let me finish, Rhea. Why kill that mother fucker when you can get even with him.

Rhea Rampage: And how is that better?

Real M's: Cause we can hurt him where it counts.

Rhea Rampage: And where is that?

Real M's: In his pocket book.

Rhea Rampage: I like that.

Real M's: Let's make him PAY. Both physically and literally.

Rhea Rampage: OH YES! I like that alot. LET'S DO IT!

*Rhea Rampage now extends her hands to Real M's.....*

Rhea Rampage: Partner.

*Real M's now thinks about for a moment. She then shakes hands with Rhea firmly and quickly. She now tells her...*

Real M's: I think this is the start of something VERY exciting.

Rhea Rampage: Then let's get started already!

Real M's: Not yet.

Rhea Rampage: WHY NOT?!

Real M's: Cause I am not in the proper mood yet.

Rhea Rampage: HUH?!

Real M's: I don't know about you, but I am a little on edge right now.

Rhea Rampage: Okay. I can see that.

Real M's: Damn right, you can! I mean we were just locked up for three weeks in jail. We missed Christmas, for fuck's sake!

Rhea Rampage: Fair enough. So what DO you want to do right now?

Real M's: TWO THINGS! First I want a good stiff alcoholic drink. Then I want a long hard fucking.

*Rhea now just facepalms and shakes her head at M's, as if to say "Well don't look at me." Real M's now tells her...*

Real M's: And seeing how I am not gonna get the latter any time soon, I am just gonna have to settle for the former. Care to join me?

*Rhea thinks about it for a moment, then shrugs her shoulders. She then tells M's.....*

Rhea Rampage: What the fucking hell. Lead the way.

Real M's: Follow me.

*Real M's and Rhea Rampage now begin to walk down the streets of downtown Sin City towards an unknown destination. The cameras then close out from there.*

Twoson Fairgrounds - Parking Lot

Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here, and we're just a week away from the end of the year. Last Clash 2021 is almost here, and backstage is buzzing with talent making big plans to end the year, and big plans on how to make a splash in 2022! It's exciting stuff for me personally, because I'm joined by my sister wife Faris Angel! The pirate queen herself wants to make a return to the ring in 2022, isn't that right Faris?

Faris Angel: Well yeah. That's...that's my announcement. You basically covered it. I want to get back into action in 2022 and-

Degrees: Faris! There you are! Good thing that tracker is still working on you.

Faris Angel: The what?

Degrees: Nothing! Listen, we need your help. We have a big mission coming up and we need your he-

Faris Angel: Done.

Degrees: Eh?

Faris Angel: Say no more. I've been looking to get back into action, and quite frankly, I need to get out of the castle. We've got a lot of new guests, and they ALL want to marry Tack. Thanks for that Makoto.

Makoto Angel: What?! I didn't tell them all to show up!

Faris Angel: *sigh* No, I guess you didn't, but they're still your friends, and I have to blame someone.

Makoto Angel: Oh.

Faris Angel: So yeah guys, whatever you need Time Fire Faris is on it!

Jackson Kain: See? I told you she'd be in, unlike your wife.

Degrees: Hey! She has to watch the kids! The situation would be the same if you married her you know!

Jackson Kain: Not true, cause I would have hired an army of maids by now.

Degrees: ...How much does that cost?

Jackson Kain: How many blockbusters have you stared in?

Degrees: The same amount as you. Zero. However you have me beat on direct to vide-

Jackson Kain: Hey! My movies are quality, and NOT a way to exploit tax laws!

Faris Angel: Guys? Focus. What do you need from Time Fire!

Degrees: You...and more specifically your Time Fire morphing device.

Faris Angel: Huh?

Degrees: I need to borrow it!

Faris Angel: ...OK...you can BORROW it. Let's go.

Makoto Angel: Well, I guess she's onto something big then. Things are going to be so busy in the new year. We have Neon Nights returning, #EVER 2.0 starting, and the build to Victory Explosion 16 beginning. Of course TUE will also come back from holiday break, and the eliminators will begin. We'll soon have new talent on the roster and-

?: I'm sorry, did you say talent, because you must've been talking about me?

Makoto Angel: Huh?

?: A strapping young preppy man approached Makoto, working hand weights casually, as his nerdy looking friend followed him.

Makoto Angel: Excuse me? Can I help you?

?: Help me? No, but I can help you, by showing you a little bit of what's to come in 2022. The name's Blinko....Tad Blinko, and this is my chum of chums Jim Derpman.

Jim Derpman: Aw Blinko, you're like sho kewl dood! Man, he'sh jusht the besht!

Makoto Angel: ...OK? Should I know you? Are you a fan? What's going on here?

Tad Blinko: Fan? Why I oughta, I oughta, I oughta slap you right on the ass.

Jim Derpman: You don't know who Blinko ish? You're misshing out doodette!

Makoto Angel: Excuse me?

Tad Blinko: You're excused. I forgive you, but just this once.

Makoto Angel: No, I-

Jim Derpman: Man Blinko, you're sho forgiving!

Tad Blinko: You really don't know who I am? Do you know who my father is? He created the tip of the condom I'll have you know!

Jim Derpman: Yeah! The little tip at the end!

Makoto Angel: Tack doesn't believe in condoms.

Tad Blinko: I've got the money BABE, so you just watch! You'll be seeing me in EBW very very soon, because my father's got connections!

Makoto Angel: ...Oh dear.

EBW: IGNITION
Twoson Fairgrounds, Twoson
ENN+

0. IGNITION Women's 4-Way: Wendy Mustang vs. Moira Lees vs. Korra vs. Amiga
-A quick brawl between four women trying to make a name for themselves. Amiga is touted as the strong replacement for Amigo that we "need right now", but before a list of the reasons "why that's a good thing" could be listed, Wendy slammed Korra to the mat, as she tried to wave down Makoto Angel. Wendy with the pin.
Winner: Wendy Mustang via Spinebuster on Korra -> Pin

0. IGNITION Singles: Picky Minch vs. Javier Leos
-Javier was still hurting from the match with Void, which made it easy for Picky to keep him grounded, and eventually submitted him with a Heel Hook.
Winner: Picky Minch via Heel Hook -> Submission

0. IGNITION 3-Way: Point Man vs. Eiji Hino vs. Shrieker
-Point Man and Eiji were both in over their heads with a psychotic Shrieker in the middle of a random blood rage, but both worked together to toss him out of the ring. He backwards crab walked under the ring, and wasn't seen for the rest of the night, leaving it up to Point Man and Eiji Hino. Eiji, who has been looking for his missing sister as of late, was too distracted, and was trapped in the Cobra Clutch, until he submitted.
Winner: Point Man via Cobra Clutch on Eiji Hino -> Submission

Backtage

Korra paced back and forth in front of the DVNO locker room, where Tack Angel was rumored to be at that moment.

Korra: *clears throat* Uh...heyyy King. I saw your tweet about how women are trash, and I just wanted to let you know that I agree! Although, I myself am a woman. I know ugh right? I am on YOUR side. "One of the good ones" as some may say. Uh...by the way...I never even noticed how fat your balls are until now, but they're awesome! Yeah...yeah that'll work. He'll like tha-

Tack Angel: Excuse me? Did you need something miss?

Korra: Uh...uh...uh...*panicked nodding no*

Tack Angel: Huh. I see. Well excuse me then please. I need to find someone.

Korra: ....Dammit Korra! That was your chance! Ow, my back hurts! Stupid Wendy! I'm the Avatar dammit!

Parking Lot

Makoto Angel: Well, that about does it for IGNITION, but make sure you stick around, cause up next, is Xcite, and I just know it's going to be GREAT!

Mr. Herb: I'm sorry, did you say tonight was going to be green? I'm saying that about every night. I'm green and retired by the way.

Makoto Angel: Uh...huh?

Mr. Herb: I can't help but notice you're also green, but are you retired, because I am both green AND retired.

Apple Kid: Welcome to Xcite! We're in Twoson for the Final Xcite-

Sal Paradise: Whoa whoa whoa! FINAL Xcite?! Who told you that? I got a contract! I get paid for being on Xcite dammit!

Apple Kid: No Sal, it's-

Sal Paradise: They going to change the name back to Chaos TV or something?! God, that was really REALLY stupid! Xcite is the BRAND dammit! Stick to what works and-

Apple Kid: LAST OF 2021!

Sal Paradise: ...Oh...continue.

Apple Kid: We have a big match in the main event. Christina Angel will be taking on "Lady M's", as "M's" gets a title shot ahead of Last Clash, but it's for the Television Championship. Christina has been on a roll, but Rose Angel as "Lady M's" hasn't been slouching. She's excellent in every outing we've seen her in, and she's got the moves down, even if they aren't originally hers.

Sal Paradise: Should be great. Angel vs. Angel, they both have really hot bodies, and sorry Subbie, but dat ass on your wife man. MMMmmm! I'd take them both to Paradise City, but I'm sure it would lead to....a lot of problems.

Apple Kid: Yes it would!

Sal Paradise: Forget I said it. Cut. Let's do another take.

Apple Kid: We're LIVE!

Sal Paradise: ...SHHHHHHHHHH-

Apple Kid: What a way to open the last Xcite of 2021. I hear we're about to get an annoucement from President Swift, so let's check that out.

Sal Paradise: IT!

Swift's Office

Swift: This year, has been hectic as hell for the 'ol Brawler. I've been all over the place, but that's just like everyone damn year huh? One day, I'm the top guy, the next, I'm out on my ass, and then I'm back again, burning the place down, until I'm not anymore, and then they make me President! This shit is crazy, but shit has been crazier since Void came back. You cult leader punk, you want a shot at me, then you can have it. I don't know what your game is. I don't get the ploy, but I don't back down from any challenge bitch. If I had a desk in front of me, I'd flip it, that's how hyped I am to get back into that ring and beat some ass. Void, I'll see you in the ring. 2021 is going to end on a high note, and then 2022, I make the resolution to kick Chaz Hardcastle's ass right out of ENN's offices, and take back full control over the company I was elected to preside over! No more of your shit Chaz! I know you've been waiting to bring it all back. I know the two bunny girls are still on the payroll. You're waiting, but I'm not! President Swift is putting boots to asses in 2022, and you can count on that!

EBW: Final Xcite of 2021
Twoson Fairgrounds, Twoson
ENN

1. 6-Man Tag: Ilya Fedorovich/Golvoth/Radzi Schrieffer vs. Big Shark/Randy no Kachi/LG Rod
-The opening match saw Ilya, Golvoth, and Radzi run over The Shark Order. The holiday good will wasn't enough to keep the resident evil heels from falling to a refocused 3/4ths of the former War Kings. Ilya trapped Rod in a Rear Naked Choke for the submission victory.
Winners: Ilya Fedorovich[o]/Golvoth/Radzi Schrieffer via Rear Naked Choke on LG Rod -> Submission

Sal Paradise: That was quick! They knew to use Golvoth to block Big Shark's path, and a win at all costs strategy got them the win. Let's hope Euroland was watching, so these guys can go back home. I don't speak their language.

Apple Kid: Most of them speak Eaglish.

Sal Paradise: Really?! Those accents man....damn.

2. Tag: Brandish X/Noroi vs. Shark #1/Shark #2
-More bad news for The Shark Order, as Brandish X and Noroi burned through the veteran tag team in short order. A Fire Thunder Driver to Shark #2 kept him down for the 1-2-3.
Winners: Brandish X[o]/Noroi via Fire Thunder Driver on Shark #2 -> Pin

Apple Kid: I'm glad The Shark Order at least had a good Christmas. Maybe they're missing those NOT Zombies right about now? Say Sal, you understand these guys right?

Sal Paradise: Evil violence is a language I speak all too well...*turns to the camera* Which is why I take Facenol! Don't worry it DOESN'T trap you in your own mind like a prison! Haha!

Apple Kid: Was that...a worry people had?

Sal Paradise: It's definitely not my inner voice trying break out or anything. I don't want you to think that. Haha!

Apple Kid: Ha....ha.

Interview Stage

Makoto Angel: Makoto here again, and I'm joined by VBW Champion and Triple Crown #1 Contender Bashin Dan. Dan, I like you, but I'm married to Tack so-

Bashin Dan: Don't worry. I understand. I really do. I don't want this to be personal, but it has been personal in the past, and it was made that way, when Tack got involved in Benji's business. When he tried to make my friend kneel. When he tried to subjugate Lainey. They don't need me to fight their battles, but I never forgot, and I use that as motivation. Another couple of people have gotten into my head to motivate me too. I need to just go for it, in all things. No holding back. Holding back causes problems, more so than attacking with no limit, and Makoto, I'm sorry, but that's what I intend to do. Tack, I hope that leg heals up, because I intend to ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! NO LIMIT! I want to be a 7-Time World Champion. I want to be the ACE. That's my dream once again, and I'm going to reach for it. Razorblade, if I have to go through you to get there, then that's what I'm going to do! YEAH!

Makoto Angel: ...I was really going to ask you more about being re-engaged to Hope, but...I mean sure...tell me how you're going to attack my husband rehabbing a broken leg.

Bashin Dan: ...Wait what? But this is....but...I'm sorry?

Makoto Angel: No no....it's my fault. I can't be biased....I can't be biased....I'm absolutely biased.

Bashin Dan: Uh...I don't blame you.

Makoto Angel: Thanks.

3. Singles: Mav Valentine vs. Jaden Yuki
-The upstart Jaden Yuki took on former World Champion Mav Valentine next, in a prelude to a Last Clash match that will see a #1 contender for the Triple Crown decided. The match was very evenly split for both men for much of the encounter and consisted of a lot of strikes and back-and-forth attacks. At one point, Mav nailed Jaden so hard with a forearm shot, he crumbled to the mat. Later, a fed up Jaden openly kicked Mav with a low blow and got himself DQ'd. Subculture and Picky Minch chased the bragging and rapping Yuki out of the ring, as Mav practiced his falcetto.
Winner: Mav Valentine via DQ

Sal Paradise: That little punk! We were getting some great action, and then he just goes for the pills! What a dick...that he kicked! Dick kick!

Apple Kid: ...Yeah.

Backstage

Makoto Angel: I'm all over the place today! I'm joined by sister wife "Lady M's", who will be taking on Christina tonight and at Last Clash. Now, it IS just business right?

"Lady M's": Lady M's, which is who I am, would NEVER want to hurt Tack's sweet daughter. She's like our daughter to ya know.

Makoto Angel: We have a LOT of kids!

"Lady M's": I did notice that yes. I want to win, and I will win, but it's going to be an athletic competition. A battle between two great athletes. I want to bring those belts back to Crystal Heaven, but that's not the end of my plans. I have some New Year's resolutions, and first off, a certain red title belt that belongs to my King! "Lady M's" loves Tack Angel with all over her heart, but his heart was broken when a certain pretender took it, claiming to be the champ. It's a shame this pretender refused visitors in jail, because I wanted to make it clear that I'm coming for the Mars Championship...sooner or later....that belt is coming home.

4. World Tag Team Championship Qualifier: Bashin Dan/Benjamin vs. w00t/Isiah Muscle
-Dan Club and DVNO collided to find out which team would go one to face Undeth to crown new World Tag Team Champions. Isiah was put through the wringer by Dan and Benji, learning to be a main event player in real time, and Amigo sitting in the crowd made things all the more distracting. However, w00t was up to his usual dirty tricks, and removed the padding on the middle turnbuckle, dodging a Benjamin spear, and busting him open with the exposed metal. Benji wandered into the middle of the ring with a crimson mask, as w00t hit the wKo. He put his feet on the ropes for added leverage on the pin attempt. Dan wasn't able to make the save in time.
Winners: w00t[o]/Isiah Muscle via wKo on Benjamin -> Pin

Apple Kid: DVNO with the win. They are now in a position where they could also claim the World Tag Team Championships! They have Undeth in front of them, but w00t is showing that he's still as crafty and nefarious as ever.

Sal Paradise: If Tack claims to be the "good guy", you'd figure he'd get this guy in check, but it seems he's looking to claim a new Kingdom by any means.

Christina Angel: *sigh* All right, here we g-

Tack Angel: Christina.

Christina Angel: Dad? You're on your feet? Is that advised?

Tack Angel: Relax, I've got the crutches. I'm fine really. It wasn't all that bad in the grand scheme. This is just to be safe, and because...well I don't want to get wheeled down a ramp by a bastard again. Look, I wanted to wish you luck. I'm trying not to play favorites here, because I love you and "Lady M-

Christina Angel: Rose.

Tack Angel: I love you both very much, and I've been very proud of you, no matter what has gone on.

Christina Angel: ...I appreciate that Dad, but the fact is, you've gone out of your way to try and make sure Subbie can't compete anymore. He's working to strengthen his hands, to avoid damage in the future but-

Tack Angel: It is what it is honey. He wanted a fight, and I gave it to him. That's the nature of this sport, and us having our whole family involved makes things awkward sometimes. I still want all the best for you.

Christina Angel: Dad, I want to make something clear. I'm fighting to make EBW a better place. I have fought off all the threats that was to destroy the Women's division. People have said it's cursed, and I've fought the curse with every bit of my strength. I DON'T want it to get enveloped in your idea to "expand your Kingdom".

Tack Angel: ...I understand where you're coming from. You have fought hard for what you believe in, but I'm doing the same thing, and believe me when I say I've got divinity on my side honey. I will have to do what I have to do, but I promise when I win, and I will win, your division will be just as important if not more so, and you will be atop the heap. Angels are destined to rule.

Christina Angel: ...What happened to you?

Tack Angel: Life happened, and for once...I responded. No going back now Christina. I love you my little starlight.

5. EBW Women's Television Championship: Christina Angel(c) vs. "Lady M's"
-Main event time, as Christina Angel took on "Lady M's", and she'd be defending her TV title ahead of defending the World Championship at Last Clash. Christina wrestled "M's" to the mat early. "M's" sunset flipped her to try and gain a moment to breathe, but Christina rolled through and went for a crab. "M's" reached the ropes. Back on their feet, "M's" gave Christina a neckbreaker off the ropes to take control. She kicked her to ringside. Back in the ring, Christina landed a running kick and a boot. Christina went for another running kick, but "Lady M's" dodged and pulled down the ropes, forcing Christina to the outside. She ironically grabbed her right leg in the shin area where her father's leg was fractured. "M's" exploited the injury and worked her over on the outside, before heading back into the ring to hit the Sexy Strong Stunner and the Sliding M's, before rolling up Christina for a surprisingly quick upset victory. "Lady M's" became the NEW EBW Women's Television Champion.
Winner: "Lady M's" via Sexy Strong Stunner x Sliding M's -> Pin -> NEW EBW Women's Television Champion!

Apple Kid: Whoa! I think Christina got really hurt with that fall to the outside. The Angel Family are coming out to both celebrate and to check on Christina, but Hope and Subculture are pushing through them to help her up first. She's grimacing as "Lady M's" celebrates with the Television Championship.

Sal Paradise: They got those titles split, but if Christina is as hurt as Tack was with that kick, both titles might be around the sexy and slender waist of "Lady M's". Tack is....he's looking right at me. Did he hear that from way over there?

Apple Kid: Folks, this has been Xcite, but it's not anymore....cause it's over. However, the year isn't over yet. One more XP, and then it's Last Clash! We're making our way to the finish line of 2021, and we'll see you there!

The Mach Farm

A local reporter was on sight at the small farm, as Trevor stood awkwardly for his interview.

Local Reporter: And here we are, at the home of out own new local celebrity Trevor Mach, who is a farmer just outside of Smalltown, Eagleland!

Trevor Mach: Uh...hey.

Local Reporter: Everything all right Mr. Mach?

Trevor Mach: Please, call me Trevor....or Bad Man. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just...trying hard...to look straight....with both eyes. Is it working?

Local Reporter: No.

Trevor Mach: Dammit bastard Tack!

Local Reporter: The community just thought it was high time to get to know our own local celebrity better. You've obviously been a success in your chosen field, but you've also made this field quite a success. The local farmer's market was abuzz when they saw your yield for the season. What's your secret?

Trevor Mach: I..uh...I used a robot from the future?

Local Reporter: Oh? Oh yeah?

Trevor Mach: Specifically 2300 AD.

Local Reporter: Neat!

Trevor Mach: Screw this, just ignore my right eye for the moment. It was very fulfilling to see it through, and I'm happy to be here in Smalltown. It's...a sanctuary for me....my family, and my robot. Is he MY robot now? I feel like since he was left with me he's my robot....or Bro-bot. Ro-bro? He's cool. I like having him around. No Romo.

Local Reporter: You mentioned your family. Where is the lovely wife?

Trevor Mach: The wife? Well...she WAS in jail for a bit, but now she's back at work in Sin City. She didn't have time to come home. Her boss sort of let her rot in jail until the last minute. Dick move personally. He turned on her rather quick, but I know the guy. That's his MO.

Local Reporter: Well, that's-

Trevor Mach: Modus Operandi. Motive.

Local Reporter: Yes. Quite.

Trevor Mach: I don't really know what else to say. No one ever comes here to actually just interview me about my farm and my family. Honestly, I miss my wife. I love her so much. She's so fun to be around...and hot too. She's so hot. I just want to cake her....in respect. If she were here right now, I'd absolutely glaze her....in common decency. I'd lay thick ropes of....admiration upon her. She'd get not one, but two cream pies....as I've just learned how to bake.

Local Reporter: Uh....thanks! I think that'll do it.

Trevor Mach: Wait! You got to see the thing I've been teaching Ro-bro to do! You ready man.

Robo: Affirmative.

Local Reporter: Oh, it's real.

Trevor Mach: HIT IT!

Robo produced speakers from his sides, that played music as he began to dance very stiffly. It quickly became apparent that the robot was attempting....the robot.

Trevor Mach: Eh? Eh? Isn't this incredible?!

Sin City - One Eyed Jack's

Tali Mach was watching the broadcast as she took a big swig from a bottle. She was already face palming by the time Trevor started talking about "baking".

Tali Mach: Oh for crying out loud!

Ana: Ana here with EBW World. Folks, I'm grateful for the year that Ninten and I have had, working together with EBW. My resolution for the new year, is to continue to do my best, and to warn all of you that I have a premonition that something bad is going to happen. What it is, I have no idea. Sorry, don't mean to be so foreboding. Anyways, let's move onto the announcement, the final card for XP this year. It's our last one, and it'll be a big one, like they all strive to be, but as we've said in the past, if we don't say it's going to be a big one, how are you going to know it's going to be a big one. Well let's put it this way. I think it'll be fun. How about that? Void will be in action, and I can't read that guy. It's like staring into a darkness....a void if you will. All of DVNO sans the Constellation King himself will be in action. Benjamin will take on w00t in the main event. What a huge main event. Bashin Dan and Hope Mach will team up to take on their respective rivals before Last Clash as well. We'll see great action, and we'll hear from our top stars just before the final event of the year. So don't miss it. Spoilers, I can already see who is going to miss it, and Jerry Taylor of Fourside, I think you should stop storing THAT on your hard drive, and watch EBW instead. Also get some help. Feet are NOOOOT that interesting.

Swift's Office

Swift finally had his new desk set up, when an unwelcome figure entered the room.

Chaz Hardcastle: Swift, love what you've done with the office, adding a desk and what not.

Swift: Whatever you want, I'm not interested. Chaz, I'm about down with your shit once and for all.

Chaz Hardcastle: Is that right? Well gee, that's what I get for coming here to tell you that I think you're doing a great job. I even wanted to wish you luck against Void.

Swift: Cut the shit. Just stop with the pretense. For months, you have been meddling with EBW. You tried to overly inject sex. You tried to hide so much of EBW behind a paywall. You insisted on doing more and more ENN+ events. You kept screwing around with my company, but I fought you, and I kept some integrity, even when you positioned us as the bad guys against that other promotion. You personally made sure we'd come off as the bad guys! We still have talent like Christina and Hope to keep the dream alive. You have been a drain this year, and next year, we're going to be much better off without you.

Chaz Hardcastle: Is that right? I've always appreciated when people speak their mind. I can respect that. Even though, I think you give away WAY too much. Even though, you hold EBW back, even with our tiers that allow us to push the envelope. Even though you allow one of your top stars in Trevor Mach to appear on the competition's programming, which gives them ratings, notoriety, and money. Despite all your mistakes, I toast to your success, even if that's not good for me. That being said, I think you're going to miss me when I'm gone....IF you're as successful in getting rid of me as you think you are.

Swift: I've had several trump cards against you, and I'm ready to play them. If all else fails, we could also settle it ourselves "mani" to "mani", if you catch my drift?

Chaz Hardcastle: ...I think you'll find I'm MUCH easier to deal with than what comes next. Again, good luck at Last Clash Mr. President.

Renegade Arena - Backstage

Blood 4 Blood and DVNO sans Tack Angel were in the back, as Swift and security kept them apart.

Swift: I really just wanted Trevor and Hazen here, but whatever! Let's get this over with! The Challenge Championship is going to become the title for the revised Bushido Rules. That's what you've always been fighting for right Trev? You want wrestling and MMA blured and taken to the next level? Well through the Bushido Rules matches and that little experiment we aired along with Level Up, well dammit you convinced me. So look on the bright side.

Trevor Mach: I am looking at it, even if it doesn't LOOK like I'm looking at it. Dammit bastard Tack!

Hazen: It could've been worse. He could've killed you. You're lucky to be alive. It would be quite the "shame" if I were able to finish the job at Last Clash.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, I'm sure you'd be weeping like a baby. Just promise me when I kick your ass you won't going crying under Amy Angel's skirt or something. She has enough babies to deal with I'm sure.

Hazen: I will bring yet another title to DVNO, and the Crystal Kingdom will take one more step in purifying this tainted promotion.

Trevor Mach: "Purify?" You think this another one of those damn wicked women that Tack's got to "fix" with his star dick huh? It ain't like that, and it ain't gonna work out like that bro. I'm going to batter you. That's literally what I do. Ask Tack about that. Ask him if he needs hanger to get the itch in his cast, because MY FACE BROKE HIS LEG!

Swift: Loving the attitude guys, but I have to get to the new rules. There will no longer be rounds or judges decisions, but there will a time limit of 15 minutes. Call it a "Champion's Advantage". If you reach the time limit, it's not a draw. If you didn't beat the champ, you LOSE. THAT is the Challenge. No pins either. It's KO, TKO aka Referee Stoppage, or Submissions. No leaving the ring either. Ring outs are an immediate DQ. If the Champion leaves the ring, he forfeits the match and the title. If the challenger throws the Champion out of the ring, the challenger loses automatically. Low blows are DQ material too. A straight up match in the ring, going all out to try and beat the clock. That's what I'm hoping to see here.

Trevor Mach: I like it.

Swift: I thought you might.

Hazen: I'll only need five minutes tops.

Trevor Mach: Ha! Look in my eyes Hazen. T-try....try to look in my eyes Hazen. I'm going to take you out, and then w00t probably, and maybe even Isiah on the way, cause why not, and then I'll finish what I started with Tack. It's far from over. I haven't gotten out all the rage I feel. I haven't even begun. You keep that in mind, and pass the message on to your "master". Remind him, that it's all on the wheel. It all comes around.

Hazen: ...Your "wheel" stops with me.

EBW: IGNITION

0. IGNITION Singles: Point Man vs. Shrieker
-A crazed match, where Point Man had to protect the crowd from the insane and rabid clown. He nearly got himself DQ'd, and tried to bite a child, but Point Man protects children, and is therefore beloved by them. He dragged Shrieker back into the ring, and made him nap with a Cobra Clutch.
Winner: Point Man via Cobra Clutch -> Referee Stoppage

0. IGNITION Singles: Jaden Yuki vs. Rains
-Rains couldn't match Jaden's sweet raps before the match, but actually didn't do half bad in the ring, now that the fans were cheering and Rains was finally over. Problem is he missed THE BIG DRIZZ, and fell prey to a kick to the midsection and a GX Factor for the pin.
Winner: Jaden Yuki via GX Factor -> Pin

-
Amigo: No matter what has happened in the past, and no wonder what my mental state has been, I've always been tied to Kinniku Mike in one way or the other. We're like brothers at this point. We'll forever carry the weight of being the SURGE Generation with us. We've both had our ups and downs, and our turns. We've even promised to never be friends again at times, but this is wrestling, and that shit....well it never sticks does it. Ultimately, we're bonded, and seeing Isiah Muscle betray his own father sent me over the edge. I had to come back. I was working for my hometown high school...with my *sigh* new step father, getting my head together. Getting ready for another run. We don't always get to pick the moments we come back to the battlefield. I'm not just going to teach Isiah Muscle a lesson. I'm coming for Tack Angel too. The world is watching "King", and they don't approve of you....and neither do I. You put Mike in the hospital. It's only fair that I return the favor, but first DVNO's super rookie is going to get planted on his ass.

0. IGNITION Women's Singles: Lainey Strong vs. Hilda Iceheart
-Lainey Strong continues to improve and develop as a singles star, and was so on fire in this match against Iceheart, that she was like...literally melting her icy hair a bit. She even used her own Northern Lights Suplex to finish the match. 1-2-3. Is Hilda actually MADE of ice?
Winner: Lainey Strong via Northern Lights Suplex -> Pin

Sunny Malibu: People have been wondering why I'm back. They've been wondering how I could show myself after my loss to Hope Mach. I'll admit, it bothered me, more than I expected it would. All my work, all my training, and all my victories, and still that one loss got to me. I came into wrestling as a fun, positive force. I wanted to surf and have a good time when I wasn't winning in the ring. It's true what they say about EBW though. It changes people. It's a source of negativity. It literally hurts to be here sometimes. So why don't I go to the "other promotion?" They might have made an offer, but Tess made a more enticing offer. She hired a bunch of us to crush this division, and for awhile, we were having a lot of fun. I mean, remember Hope getting her finger snipped off? That...was me. All me. From surfing to chopping off fingers. That's what EBW has done to me, and at this point, I'm going to take this course to its conclusion, and I'm going to see where it leaves me.

Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here with Larry Grim, and it's time for XP! The FINAL XP of 2021! Time is really flying!

Larry Grim: That's not an accident. As the universe continues to expand and accelerate, it begins to mess with the concept and science behind time.

Makoto Angel: Huh?

Larry Grim: Happy New Year Makoto!

Makoto Angel: Thanks Larry, but before we get to Last Clash, we have a stacked card for tonight. Benjamin vs. w00t in the main event? That's ENN+ tier material.

Larry Grim: Speaking of ENN+, I'm told the future of ENN+ might be decided in the near future. President Swift seems to know "where the bodies are buried" so to speak, and is finally dealing with Chaz Hardcastle. I'm pleased to say that might bring an end to MOST of the tiers. ENN+ is...well it's enough isn't it? Streaming services are very expensive.

Makoto Angel: I'd love to have the Lakitus stop trying to get into Crystal Heaven to see me change!

Larry Grim: Oh that's probably not going away. Pandora's box has been open for too long now.

Makoto Angel: DANG IT!

Larry Grim: Bashin Dan and Hope Mach are RE-ENGAGED I think? That's the word for it? Maybe? Tonight, they'll join forces to battle Razorblade and Sunny Malibu, as odd combination, but they have similar goals, so I'm sure they'll make it work. Isiah Muscle will be in action, as will Hazen, when he takes on Picky Minch. It's basically all about DVNO, this new alliance that wants to expand the Crystal Kingdom into EBW, for the "good of the future?" I guess?

Makoto Angel: Tack is going to save the world because he has to. He's trying to save EBW as a courtesy. He's a very generous King if you'd give him a chance. Just don't....don't upset him these days. His patience is gone. He WILL speak on Bashin Dan tonight, and don't worry, he's going to be back on his feet for Last Clash, even if he has to wrap his leg and slap a brace on it, he WILL be there. I'm worried about him, but I know my King can handle himself...he just prefers to handle MYSELF! Haha...ha...that was a bad joke. I'm sorry.

Larry Grim: No, I liked it. Well done.

Makoto Angel: Yeah? I'm trying to stand out more. My old friends in town have reminded me that I once had a role in a much smaller group, and it starts to get harder to stand out when you keep expanding. I might have to "expand" a couple things to keep Tack's attention. He fills them with mana you know.

Larry Grim: ...I'm sure he does Makoto. I'm sure he does. All of tonight's action is going to build up to a big Last Clash in the Saturn Dome Pavilion, where we will see the ball drop, and the start of a new year. It'll be long after midnight before EBW is done. Tonight though, we're starting off with-

Larry Grim: Yeah...that guy...who I still can't see.

EBW: Last XP of 2021!
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN

1. Singles: Void vs. Fray Tiburon
-Fray attempted to pray in the corner, only to be blindsided by Void. Unlike the beat down to Javier though, Fray fought back, as the grapple maniac inside of him took over, and he managed to gain control long enough to try and unmask Void, but Void gouged him in the eye, and a head butt set up for the Chaos Theory and the win by Void.
Winner: Void via Chaos Theory -> Pin

Void: This man...puts his faith in God, but what is God to an unbeliever? He is nothing. This all is nothing. Randon chance. Choas. You tried to remove my mask, but the true mask is believing that this world means anything. The true mask is believing that things are meant to make sense. Logic is made up. Reason is unreasonable. Remove the mask and embrace Undeth. Give into your true selves, and become your own "gods". Swift, a great turning point is upon us, and after I crush you under my boot, and kick open the doors to chaos in EBW, nothing will ever be the same.

2. Singles: Isiah Muscle vs. Danny Leung
-Isiah Muscle, who won the most recent TUE, battled Danny Leung, who took part in the first TUE. A big difference in age and experience, but Isiah had w00t in his corner, which lead to Danny's desire for a push to be halted. If only he would have won the E1 that one time. Isiah Muscle hit the Islander Drop on Danny, which is like a Samoan Drop, if Samoa existed. What IS Samoa? What am I saying?
Winner: Isiah Muscle via Islander Drop -> Pin

Makoto Angel: Great job Isiah! He was over at the house the other day. The big Angel Family Christmas party. That was a lot of fun by the way.

Larry Grim: I'm sure it was. Your city is full of pirates after all. They know how to party.

Backstage

Amigo was watching the match in front a TV from an odd angle, when an oddly familiar face walked by.

Amigo: Great drop kid, but if you can't beat Danny without w00t then-

Amiga: Excuse me.

Amigo: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me move out of the wa-

Amiga: .....

Amigo: .....

Amiga: .....

Amigo: .....

Amigo tried putting his hands up for a mirror spot, but Amiga wasn't having it.

Amigo: You...you're Amiga huh?

Amiga: And you're Amigo.

Amigo: I saw you on television, but seeing you in person...I've gotta say....nice.

Amiga: ...You're not so bad yourself. *blush*

Amiga quickly ran away.

Amigo: ...I didn't realize I was egotist until this very moment.

3. Singles: Hazen vs. Picky Minch
-Highly athletic back and forth between two of the more technical athletes of EBW. Picky had the experience, and rocked Hazen in the opening, keeping him on the mat, but it wasn't long before the big man formerly from Euroland stiffed Picky with a short arm lariat, and battered him from pillar to post. A Wrist Cluch Death Valley Driver kept Picky down for the count.
Winner: Hazen via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver -> Pin

Larry Grim: Ouch! I think that short arm lariat rocked Picky. He didn't quite shake it off did he? Hazen looks ready, but how is he going to handle Trevor Mach with the revised Bushido Rules? They both seem to think the rules are going to favor them. Only one way to find out right? Make sure you check out the show on ENN+!

Makoto Angel: Hazen actually showed up to our Christmas party. He just stood there all night. Scary.

Larry Grim: ...Uh-huh.

4. Mixed Tag: Bashin Dan/Hope Mach vs. Razorblade<VBW>/Sunny Malibu
-An interesting mix of styles in this Mixed Tag, as Dan and Hope joined forces to take on VBW's Razorblade and Sunny Malibu. Despite the rule being that men fight men and women fight women, Razorblade tried to get his hands on Hope more than once, but Hope was more than happy to lock up with the hardcore wrestler. When Hope and Sunny got into the mix again, it was just like it was during their long and heated feud months prior. Upon learning that Sunny was the one to cut off her finger, she decided she had a couple other fingers to show her, as she lifted Sunny for the Olympic Slam. Razor grabbed her by the shirt and pulled her hard into the corner, which prompted Dan to go to his side and fight it out. Hope had hit her head in the corner, and as she tried to shake away the cobwebs, Sunny took control, hitting an Ocean Cyclone Suplex for the 1-2-3.
Winners: Razorblade<VBW>/Sunny Malibu[o] via Ocean Cyclone Suplex on Hope Mach -> Pin

Makoto Angel: That corner shot looked painful! I hope Hope is OK.

Larry Grim: She'll be fine, but the thought of losing to Sunny again has to sting. She thought she'd ended this earlier this year, but like the surfer said on IGNITION, she's down a dark path, and she's going to follow it to its conclusion now. Dan will have his hands full with Razorblade on the way to Tack Angel at Last Clash, and Hope and Sunny will go at it in a No Rules environment. This is going to be a big show to end the year folks. I only hope it's not rushed due to time constraints.

Makoto Angel: ....

Larry Grim: ...Yeah...it probably will be. It's a tradition by this point.

-
Tack Angel: This year brought about a lot of changes. It was the year I fought back. The year I said enough. It was the year that I took control of my destiny, no matter how much I knew...it was going to start a war. I became the most hated man outside of my home, but in my Kingdom, I am beloved. It's not easy being right about everything you know? It's not easy knowing that I'm the only one capable of saving the world and saving EBW. I'm the only one capable of being the rightful King. I didn't want to embrace that, but you all helped make this possible. I want you to remember that, just like every opponent I've beaten this year. You brought this...all...on yourselves. Dan, I always liked you, just like I've always liked Hope. Personally, I hope you're both happy together for a long time. Professionally, I will crush you, and make you regret standing up to me, and siding with Trevor Mach. Another year where the King was deprived the E1 Climax win, BUT, I will take solace in beating the E1 Climax Winner. I will be ready. I don't need to kick your head off to beat you.
-

5. Singles: Benjamin vs. w00t
-Main event time, as w00t took on Benjamin, who just days earlier shocked the world with a win over Razorblade in their rubber match, only to be cheated in the World Tag Team Qualifiers by w00t's dirty tricks. Still sporting a bandage on his head, the Mystic Bout Machine lived up to his name, with fast paced action, but the Wrestling Mastermind himself was quick with counters, and tactics to try and slow any and all momentum, to the chagrin of the crowd. A lot of temple tapping and bloviating set off Benji, who has had the spark lit under him again recently. He managed to push w00t off during a wKo attempt, and surprised him with a picture perfect Spear. The EBW veteran and former 4-Crown King was lifted for the Masamune, and brought down like a sword piercing a mountain. 1-2-3! Another huge win for Benjamin at the end of the year.
Winner: Benjamin via Spear x Masamune -> Pin

Larry Grim: Benjamin with the win! He just keeps on blazing a path, and causing upsets. I know eyes are on Bashin Dan right now, but keep in mind, Benjamin is in the #1 Contender match at Last Clash, along with Mav Valentine and Jaden Yuki. This whole show is going to shape the year to come in EBW. I can just feel it. Last Clash 2021 is coming folks, and then we hit 2022 hard with shows like Neon Nights returning, and the return of TUE from holiday break. No time to slow down in EBW. After all...time crunch. I mean it's the morning of 12/31, and I'm still on THIS show.

Makoto Angel: Huh?

Larry Grim: Nothing. I was picking up the thoughts of....someone else. Fans, we'll see you in the Saturn City Pavilion, and on ENN+ for LAST CLASH 2021!

Apple Kid: It's time! Ladies and Gents, this is it, the final show of the year. It's Last Clash 2021! We're here at the Saturn Dome Pavilion for New Year's Eve! We're LIVE on ENN+! We've going to end the year swinging as we always do, and we're glad you decided to join us for this one.

Sal Paradise: Bashin Dan getting his shot at the King?! Why would you want to miss that? Christina vs. "Lady M's" 2? That's how we're ending 2021! I'm hyped about it! My personal match to see though is Isiah Muscle vs. Amigo. My boy Amigo is returning to take on Muscle for what he did to Kinniku Mike! All of that is tonight and so much more!

Makoto Angel: You're not kidding, because Tack has to defend against Point Man tonight too. The Television Championship is on the line. To be fair, Dan also has to defend against Razorblade, but one of those men is recovering from a broken leg, so who really has it worse?

Larry Grim: President Swift will be in action, answering the challenge of Void. Hope Mach will take on Sunny Malibu in No Rules action, and Trevor Mach will defend the Challenge Championship against Hazen under the new revised Bushido Rules. I mean up and down the card we have some exciting action to see, and I can't wait to see it, so what are we waiting for. Let's get this show underway! This is Last Clash 2021!

EBW: Last Clash 2021
Saturn Dome Pavilion, Saturn Dome
ENN+

1. VBW Championship: Bashin Dan(c) vs. Razorblade
-A hot start to the action, with VBW rules applied, meaning NO RULES! Razorblade spent months stewing over his loss of the VBW title to Dan in his own home turf, and took it out on the young ACE with everything that wasn't bolted down. Dan took the shots, and like the possible battle masochist he is, he seemed to fire him. That signature heart came into play when they traded shots, and Dan finally regained control, using a chair the VBW wrestler threw into the ring against him. A Brave Clash onto the chair later and Bashin Dan retained the VBW Championship.
Winner: Bashin Dan via Brave Clash onto Chair -> Pin -> Title Defense!

2. EBW Television Championship: Tack Angel(c) vs. Point Man
-Tack Angel was reserved, and more on the defense, when facing this new opponent, keeping his recently fractured leg protected. Point Man shockingly took control of the match with methodical mat work, trying to grapple into a leg submission, but Tack fought out, and landed a hard kick with his left leg. He seemed OK putting weight on his leg that time at least. Point Man worked a headlock and Tack hit a snap mare, but Point Man held on. Tack seemed to be actually impressed, as he tried some elbows to escape, and finally drove Point Man to a corner to break. Point Man missed a running charge and Tack hit a lariat to buy some time. Spinning heel kick in the corner by Tack into a bulldog for two. He threw some kicks to Point Man’s chest with his left leg, and seemed more confident with the kicks as the match progressed. Point Man challenged him to kick more and absorbed a few, but got taken down by a block. Point Man attempted a late game Cobra Clutch, but Tack countered out and CLUTCHED the WRIST for the Angel Driver and the pin. The crowd erupted into boos as the Constellation King defended the Television Championship against the super fan favorite Point Man.
Winner: Tack Angel via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Makoto Angel: He did it! The Tacky Star King is STILL The Television Champion!

Sal Paradise: He actually got those kicks in too. That's dangerous. I think he had us all thinking he wouldn't bust them out, but he did.

Apple Kid: I think he was surprised by Point Man, and pulled out more than he was planning. Looks like something he would have wanted to save for Bashin Dan.

Makoto Angel: I'll admit, that was the game plan, but the cat is out of the bag now. Still, Tack is going to be ready for the main event, so I hope Dan is too. I don't want him to get hurt.

3. EBW Challenge Championship Bushido Rules: Trevor Mach(c) vs. Hazen
-Up next, the Challenge Championship bout was fought under the new revised Bushido Rules, as Hazen challenged against Trevor Mach. Hazen had 15 minutes to try and knock out, submit, or force a stoppage against Mach, and they couldn't leave the ring, so any DVNO interference was nullified. A hard hitting opening few minutes, saw Trevor trying to protect his right side, which made it harder to hit those signature knees, until a series of suplexes allowed Mach to hit the Knee Trigger, but Hazen fought off an attempt at a Kimura, and hammered Mach with some hard elbows. Several minutes of ground action, before both men were back on their feet. Hazen was cut open, while Mach was actually doing well to protect his still injured right side, however that allowed Hazen to pull him in for a short arm lariat, that rocked him much like it had Picky on XP. Hazen hit a Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver, but with pins not counting, and time running out, he went for the mount position and ground pounded the back of Trevor's head until the referee stopped the bout, even as Mach protested from the mat.
Winner: Hazen via TKO -> NEW EBW Challenge Champion!

Sal Paradise: Damn! Trevor lost it! Hazen was on point, and Trevor tried to protect his right side too much. The swelling went down, but it was obvious he was still not quite ready for this. Props going into it though. He could have ended up in much worse shape.

Apple Kid: Last year Trevor was fighting Picky for the Challenge Championship. It was 3 Stages of Hell. Ironically, both men were both beaten by Hazen to close out this year, and now he is the Challenge Champion. More irony, as the training for the match with Tack has Trevor in the best physical shape I've ever seen him in, and yet the lingering effect from that kick continues to plague him. DVNO just captured another title, and we already know they have the Television Championship as well. Later tonight, we'll see if they can retain the Triple Crown, as Tack vs. Dan is still to come!

4. Women's No Rules Singles: Hope Mach vs. Sunny Malibu
-The next match saw Hope and Sunny continue their rivalry from earlier in the year, under No Rules, so like the first match on the card, anything was on the table, including the table itself. After a long brawl, Sunny set up said table on the floor and threw Hope onto it. She went high risk with a big elbow from the top turnbuckle, but Hope moved just in time, sending Sunny shattering through it. Sunny reminded everyone of the nightmares she had put Hope through, by taking a splinter from the table and driving it into her cheer, slicing down to her chin, in horrible grisly fashion. Hope was bleeding badly, but despite Sunny thinking she had won, Hope still managed to pull it together to hit an Olympic Slam. She clutched an Ankle Lock and shouted for Sunny to tap out. Malibu refused to tap, and just like their last title match, Sunny passed out and the referee awarded the win to a bleeding Hope, who was quickly looked after by the EMTs.
Winner: Hope Mach via Ankle Lock -> Referee Stoppage

Makoto Angel: That's a win for Hope, but that cut on her face is looking very bad. Sunny really did go in for the kill on that one.

Larry Grim: In the crowd, I see Darkness Aoi. She could've helped at any time, but I guess that alliance is over? What could the TUE winner be planning for 2022, and does it involve Hope Mach?

5. EBW World #1 Contender: Mav Valentine vs. Benjamin vs. Jaden Yuki
-Three spectacular athletes went all out in a high paced match to decide who will get the next shot at the Triple Crown, the first shot of 2022. Two former World Champions, and a relative rookie, but the rookie Jaden Yuki was all swagger, as he fearlessly stepped in with the more experienced talent. He'd get fed crow more than once though, as Mav and Benji tossed him out of the ring to settle in among themselves, which Jaden didn't take too well. Add to the fact Benji's draw with Jaden, and his friendship with Dan, and that made him the target of Jaden. When Mav caught Benji in a Spear attempt and hit the Mav Buster, Benjamin got his foot on the ropes. Jaden on the outside, pushed Benji's foot off the ropes, leading to his loss. He soaked in the boos as he ran away laughing.
Winner: Mav Valentine via Mav Buster on Benjamin -> Pin

Sal Paradise: What the hell was that? He knew he wasn't winning it, so he cost Benjamin? Dick move.

Apple Kid: Looks like the case. Mav is seeing the footage replayed, but he's shrugging it off. Nothing can be done about it now. It's hard to get a read on Jaden Yuki. He's brash, but very talented. He's got a "whatever" attitude straight out of the late 90's though. Guess why he's considered a member of Generation X?

6. Singles: Isiah Muscle vs. Amigo
-A generational grudge match, and a grand return, as Amigo came back to EBW to defend the honor of Kinniku Mike against his own son Isiah Muscle, the rookie protege of Tack Angel, and youngest member of DVNO. From the onset it was obvious that even with some ring rust, Amigo was leagues ahead on the mat, but Isiah was actually stronger, and overpowered Amigo in a test of strength, flooring the veteran with a series of suplexes, most learned from his father. A hot streak at the beginning was quickly broken by Amigo, who worked him over, stretched and grappled the kid, making him suffer, and not allowing him to tap even if wanted to. w00t was on the outside trying to get involved, but to the delight of the fans in the crowd and Amigo himself, Kinniku Mike came out to run him off. Close to the ropes, Amigo had Isiah in an Ankle Lock. He wrenched at it while Muscle tried reaching for the ropes. As the ref checked on Isiah, Mike suddenly punched Amigo hard in the face. The crowd was shocked as Amigo grabbed at his nose and stumbled back. Isiah limped to his feet, and shot around Amigo to hit a Bridging Dragon Suplex, and surprisingly pinned the former World Champion.
Winner: Isiah Muscle via Bridging Dragon Suplex -> Pin

Sal Paradise: Mike?! What the hell man! These were my boys! My Paradise Collection, and now Mike's turning on Amigo?! Dude, he came back for YOU! What's going on here?

Makoto Angel: Mike is hugging his son! He's raising his hand in victory! Mike and Isiah aren't on the bad terms we thought they were?!

Apple Kid: w00t just entered the ring, and he's handing Mike a shirt. He's putting it on! DVNO!? Kinniku Mike has joined DVNO?! Mike and w00t have history too, and yet Tack has been able to assemble a killer's row here, now bolstered by Kinniku Mike. This is crazy. Another win, two wins I'd say here, for DVNO.

Sal Paradise: Dammit Mike! Dammit!

Apple Kid: Well folks, we're just getting started here. Because coming up next, we have a game changer. Void wants to tear down the system, and challenged President Swift to a match. You KNEW the Brawler wouldn't back down. He was even recently injured, and we believe it was by Void's own doing, so this is about as personal as it gets for Swift. Buckle up folks, and wear a helmet.

7. Singles: Swift vs. Void
-Swift wasted no time in attacking Void, and threatening Undeth if they got involved, but Void was quick to push back, gouging at Swift's eyes and tearing into his forehead. The Brawler in Swift was in full force, as he took the Undeth leader to the outside, even at the risk of Undeth, but they kept their distance, as Void handled his own business, seemingly relishing in the violence sustained and inflicted. Back in the ring, Swift dragged Void by the mask, nearly taking it off, but Void hit Swift with a headbutt and a Belly to Belly Suplex. He set up for the Chaos Theory, but Swift fought him off, and came off the ropes with a POUNCE! Swift went for the pin, but only got the 1 count. Swift lifted Void up and threw him against the ropes for yet another POUNCE! 1-KICKOUT! Void sat up and stared at Swift, as if wondering what he intended to do next. As Swift thought, the rest of Undeth started to converge on the ring again. This brought out Derek Mach, who chased them off with a chair. Swift threw some harsh elbows that actually did cut into Void's mask a little, but not enough to reveal anything. Swift used the moment to lift Void for the Blackhammer, but Void escaped and rolled up Swift for a near fall. Swift kicked out of it, and went rushing for another POUNCE, but Void redirected the flow of traffic as it were and tossed Swift head first into the ring post. A staggered Swift fell into a series of Hagen Suplexes, before Void finally hit the Chaos Theory to pin the President and former multiple time 4-Crown King for the pin and the win.
Winner: Void via Chaos Theory -> Pin

Apple Kid: I don't want to say I expected Swift to win, but I think we were all hoping it.

Makoto Angel: Yeah.

Sal Paradise: The dude was covered in ring rust and still gave Void the hardest fight he's had since coming back. Jackson Kain, Fray Tiburon, Javier Leos, and Derek Mach would even have to agree on that fact. Void's mindset and lack of feelings have really given him the killer edge. I highly doubt even Facenol would help a guy like that.

Larry Grim: We believe he was also the one who attacked and injured Erica, not once, but twice. He's a monster, and he promised big things in the new year. We should all be concerned.

8. Last Match of 2021 EBW Women's World Championship: Christina Angel(c) vs. "Lady M's"
-A rematch from Xcite, that saw "Lady M's" get the upset, but for this match, Christina was all fired up, not ready to end her legendary Women's World Championship run, and certainly not wanting the last match of 2021 to be her defeat. She cut off her own introduction, and charged the ring, driving "M's" into the corner. Double Underhook Powerbomb to "M's", who had to block kicks from Christina, to push her onto her backside to finally catch some breath. "M's" let the elbows fly, and hit a Rolling M's to flatten Christina, but then tried to go high risk off the top. Christina shot up first, so "M's" went for a crossbody on the fly, but Christina managed to catch her, however her leg seemed to buckle from the injury on Xcite. She powered through it to slam "M's", but didn't seem to be at full strength going forward. "M's" controlled the pace, but Christina fought out of the Sexy Strong Stunner, and belted "M's" with kicks that looked painful for both women. A final kick to the mid section lead to the Angel's Wings from Christina, who rolled up "M's" for the pin.
Winner: Christina Angel via Angel's Wings -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Makoto Angel: She did it! I'm sorry for Ros..."Lady M's", but since she just beat Christina for the TV title, that means they both have belts! The titles remain with the family! I call that a net positive personally!

Sal Paradise: Good for Christina. Makoto, I just want to make sure you and Tack both know that I'm not out here saying things about her ass. That was some other guy.

Makoto Angel: ...OK?

Apple Kid: Don't look at me. Well folks, that's it. That's the final match of 2021 right there, and you know what that means. Yep, if you look outside the ball is starting to drop, so without further ado team.

Apple, Makoto, Larry, and Sal: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Apple Kid: Goodbye 2021 and hello 2022! What do you all say we start it off right?

Makoto Angel: Absolutely! Tack Angel is the perfect way to start any day for me!

Sal Paradise: The King vs. The Dangerous Player. My kind of main event.

Larry Grim: Then here we go!

9. First Match of 2022 EBW Triple Crown World Championship: Tack Angel(c) vs. Bashin Dan
-Main event time, as the first match of 2022 saw Tack Angel defend the Triple Crown against Bashin Dan. Tack came out with Neptune and Uranus backing him, as the wives sans Makoto all bowed to the sides of a blue carpet. Tack held aloft his scythe as the wives carried the Triple Crown to the ring for him. The bell rang and the fans fired up. A quick flurry of blows saw Dan fall out of the ring. Tack tried putting more weight on his leg as Dan adjusted his jaw and took a breath. Dan rolled back in and hit a Spinebuster on Tack, and tried to set him up for the Brave Clash early, but ate a hard kick to head instead. An early Angel Driver lead to a 1-Count, though Tack didn't CLUTCH the WRIST. Dan's signature of coming back from the brink was on full display. He took damage, but kept coming back for more, while Tack risked permanent injury with every kick he threw. Tack tried to land one match ending vicious head kick, but Dan caught it and blocked. He lifted Tack for a Brainbuster, as the crowd went wild. 1-2-KICKOUT! Tack managed to narrowly avoid the pin from the move, but came back strong. He landed his signature kicks to get some breathing room and a series of Suplexes, before finally CLUTCHING the WRIST for the Angel Driver. 1-2-KICKOUT! Tack was astonished as Dan's heart refused to give up. Tack lifted him for the WRIST CLUTCH Heaven Driver, but Dan escaped and hit a Lariat. He peppered Tack with a series of hard shots and worked him around the ring, before the kick to the mid section and the Brave Clash! 1-2-KICKOUT! Both men were battered and tired, and Tack was clutching the leg and not the wrist. w00t was near the ring, but he was chased off by #1 Contender Mav Valentine, this allowed Razorblade to make his way to the ring. Tack had just hit another Wrist Clutch Angel Driver onto Dan, but his foot was on the ropes. Razor pushed it off, but Dan still managed to kick out, to the relief of a crowd desperate to see the Dangerous Player dethrone the hated King. Even though Tack was booed by the crowd, he agreed with them that Razorblade should leave the ringside area, and demanded he go away. Razor threw up his hands, and teased leaving. This brought out Hope Mach, who was still in the process of getting her chin stitched up from the earlier match. She demanded he leave, and so Razor promptly face planted her into the ramp. Dan was shocked and livid, but shook his head knowing what this would lead to and turned to refocus on the match. He was right, but not fast enough to avoid it. A solid head kick took Dan to the mat. Tack lifted him for the Clutch Winged Angel, and covered him for the 1-2-3. Even Tack looked less than pleased with the result, as the fans threw garbage at Razorblade. Tack kicked Dan out of the way as he walked up to go check on Hope, but Trevor was also on his way down. The two stared off before Tack rejoined his wives and DVNO to celebrate another title defense.
Winner: Tack Angel via Clutch Winged Angel -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Sal Paradise: That's not the energy we want to carry into the new year. The VBW asshole messed with what was turning into an instant classic! Dan tried to stop himself from falling into the classic trappings. The man knows strategy. He just didn't get it figured out in time.

Makoto Angel: I'm delighted for Tack, and I think he'll be generous enough to give Dan a rematch down the line. Of course now Tack has to get ready for Mav Valentine, the winner of the earlier #1 Contender match. Poor Hope though. She's had enough.

Apple Kid: A crazy way to end the night for sure. Tack Angel retained the titles, with a wild finish, though this one doesn't appear to be his fault. Razorblade, the VBW's one man war on the promotion, took it upon himself to get involved. Couldn't handle the loss to Dan earlier I guess. Well, from all of us in EBW, we wish you a Happy New Year, and-

Larry Grim: WAIT! We're getting some news from backstage! Erica is here! She's going after Void! Swift and Derek Mach are too!

Sal Paradise: What?!

Apple Kid: Well don't keep it here! Cut to the back! CUT TO THE BACK!

Swift and Derek Mach were helping a living Erica fight Undeth. The angry and recently hospitalized Erica was doing her best to push through Undeth and security to get to the man who attacked and abducted her. She finally got to him, and did something no one else had been able to do. She ripped away a large chunk of his mask, from the hole Swift had created earlier.

Sal Paradise: WHOA!

Larry Grim: Incredible!

Makoto Angel: SERIOUSLY?!

Apple Kid: Fans, are you seeing what we're seeing?! IT'S VOID! HE'S....HE'S....HE'S....

Machismo · 1/04/2022 6:01 am

Ninten: Ninten here for EBW World and Happy New Year! It's 2022, and what a wild and crazy way to end 2021. It was a great ending, unlike to ending to Lucas's story, but it had a crazy twist. I'm sure everyone knows by now, but the reality is, I still can't believe it! Chaz Hardcastle is Void! Was he always Void? What have his plans been? What's the end goal for the leader of Undeth? We have so many questions heading into the new year, but I have some other answers regarding what you can expect for Xcite! We'll be back in the home base, Renegade Arena, and I'm told that DVNO will open the show with some huge announcements! Tack Angel is looking to change things this year, and he's got all the momentum in the world behind him. We know a lot of people will have a lot of things to say regarding what happened at Last Clash, and what they intend to do at New Year Rising 2022, and beyond. Victory Explosion 16 is not that far off. This is the truly exciting time of the year people! New Year Rising 2022, Rumble City, and Victory Explosion! If they were chapters, they would be far more interesting chapters than Lucas's story! HA! Got him again! I'm gonna keep getting him this year too! Here's the card for Xcite! It's sure to be hype!

Battle Spirits Dojo

Bashin Dan sat at a table with his eyes closed. He hadn't moved in some time.

Hope Mach: Wow. Dan is really focused right now.

Benjamin: On what though? That's the question.

Lainey Strong: Probably not happy with what happened at Last Clash.

Hope Mach: Oh don't worry, I've got a plan in regards to that. Maybe he's mad that he didn't get the belts off Tack? I would have loved that too. It's frustrating. He's got to be so frustrated.

Benjamin: It's hard to be at the top and not be able to get it back when you lose it. Trust me, I know. It drives us to do better though.

Lainey Strong: Maybe he's learned how to meditate? It's keeping him calm. It's helping him come up with a plan for what to do next?

Hope Mach: I mean he DID keep the VBW Championship, so the night wasn't a total wash.

Benjamin: It wasn't like Jaden Yuki was an uncouth swine to him or anything.

Lainey Strong: I thought you said you weren't too mad about that.

Benjamin: It's simmering...starting to bubble....on the way to a boil.

Lainey Strong: Oh no.

Hope Mach: Well, whatever he's doing, I worry for whoever intends to get in his way.

Lainey Strong: You think it's hot don't you?

Hope Mach: Kind of. I don't get to see him so calm, so collected, so-

Bashin Dan: Zzzzz.....Zzzzzz....take it...from the life. Zzzzzz...

Hope, Benjamin, and Lainey: OH.

Hope Mach: That makes more sense actually.

Renegade Arena

Ana: Ana here, actually AT the arena! I guess you can consider it a promotion, as I get to try and get the inside scoops live and in person, EVEN THOUGH, I'm fairly certain I can do that from anywhere. I've got...a knack for it. Oh here comes Blood 4 Blood! Mav Valentine is the #1 Contender now and he's about to interrupt me!

Mav Valentine: What? How did you...nevermind. Yeah, Blood 4 Blood is in the house...or on the way into the house. We're working on that. Tack's here, so I'm here. It's as simple as that. He's ducked me time and time again. No running now Tack.

Subculture: That's right PARTNA! Mav's #1 contender, and my hands are feeling a WHOLE lot better. I'm in the mood to deck someone right in the schnoz.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, we're here. We're not all happy though. My loss the other night. It really peeved me O, and the O stands for OFF.

Picky Minch: Ooo, we might need to censor that.

Ana: Mr. Mach, have you ever thought about going to therapy? I feel a lot of anger coming from you. Do you want to do something about all of this rage?

Trevor Mach: No, my rage gives me my can do attitude.

Mav Valentine: Blood 4 Blood OUT...well IN...we're GOING IN! Uh...peace!

Ana: And there they go. An interesting group of guys. It seems they want to be around for Tack's big announcement. The holder of the 5-Crown Supremacy will be opening the show in a big way, BUT this is IGNITION, and we have some ENN+ exclusive matches for you right now. Let's take it inside, and get to the action.

EBW: IGNITION
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN+

0. IGNITION New Year Blitz Battle Royale: Big Shark vs. Bashin Dan vs. Fray Tiburon vs. Shrieker vs. Benjamin vs. Javier Leos
-The first match post Last Clash saw six wrestlers duke it out in a New Year Blitz Battle Royale. A mix of styles, and like usual everyone assumed that the biggest guy in the ring would win, even though that doesn't happen nearly as much as people assume and if you take anything away from EBW, it's that big guys mostly lose battle royales. In fact, Big Shark was the first one to get eliminated, when everyone in the ring targeted him, because of course they did. It only makes logical sense to get rid of the big guy. You'd have to be stupid not to. Jaden Yuki made his way out when it came down to Dan, Benjamin, and Shrieker. Benjamin was running the ropes to hit a Spear, and Jaden pulled down the top rope, sending him flying to the outside. Jaden threw a Duel Monsters card onto Benji and ran off laughing. Shrieker tried to bite and tear into Dan, but the Dangerous Player fought him off and toss the killer clown out of the ring to win the New Year Blitz.
Winner: Bashin Dan

0. IGNITION Women's Singles: Lainey Strong vs. Sister Mercy
-Strong showing from Lainey Strong, who survived the athletic mat work of Sister Mercy and countered her into a Backslide for a solid victory.
Winner: Lainey Strong via Backslide -> Pin

0. IGNITION Singles: Tad Blinko[Debut] vs. Eiji Hino
-A surprising debut, as Tad Blinko, the young, rich, cocky, and brash upstart bypassed TUE and made his way straight to the main roster against Eiji Hino, who has been on a losing streak since the disappearance of his sister Rei Hino. He wasn't in the best of moods, and appeared distracted, but while Tad Blinko somehow pulled a bar bell from his pocket and did reps as his cornerman Jim Derpman wiped him down. Surprisingly talented in the ring, Tad Blinko floored Eiji with a series of lariats before trapping him in the Telerana DDT variation for the pin.
Winner: Tad Blinko via Telerana -> Pin

Ana: And that's IGNITION folks. I'd say it's time for Xcite, but I'm about to be joined by Jaden Yu-

Jaden Yuki: How did you know? Did you smell my cologne. It's absolutely flawless!

Ana: ...Right.

Jaden Yuki: Did you see what I did to that scrub Benji? Benji boy, you're just no match for me. You couldn't beat me, and you couldn't stop me from keeping you out of title contention. I bet you wonder why I'm targetting you? Well, it's all apart of the plan, and that plan is absolutely flawless. If I take out the pillars that hold up Bashin Dan, then he'll be a broken man when I finish him off. I've got the strats baby! I'm Jaden Yuki, that's my name, both Dan and Benji are hella lame. I'm gonna school em' and fool em' and show them what they're lacking, because unlike those scrubs I'm definitely packing. *wink*

Ana: ...Great. The "King of Games" everyone. Well, that does it for IGNITION. Happy New Year everybody. 2022 is going to be interesting for sure. In fact...yep...I can sense it. Tack Angel is here. He's in the building, and so is...is that Chaz I'm sensing? It's so dark. So very very dark. Things are about to heat up.

The show opened immediately with the DVNO theme as Tack Angel lead his team out to the ring to a chorus of boos. The boos grew as Kinniku Mike came out singing the praises of his son Isiah Muscle. Tack stood with a mic in one hand, and the other hand holding the scythe with the title belts adorned on it. Every time he tried to speak the crowd would boo. He looked down at the ring and shook his head.

Tack Angel: I can stand here all night if I have to. In fact I will stand here all night. I'll deprive you of wrestling. I'll punish you for being spoiled brats. You boo and boo. You do your chants, and you keep up this stigma that King Tack is a bad guy, but in reality, this year just like last, King Tack is going to be your protector and savior. Anyone who stands up against me has fallen. Look at the main event scene for EBW in 2021. I conquered every challenge. I beat every obstacle. I've done what no one else in wrestling history has ever done. I have the 5-Crown Supremacy, which I have a better name for now, but more on that in just a little bit. I proved those deeds and words that I am the real deal, and my cause is just. Bashin Dan is another name on the list, but I have to admit, I'm not happy with how that went down. Razorblade was not out there because of me. You'll get another chance. I'll win, but you'll get another chance. Don't boo that! It's confidence! I thought you all loved confidence! Cocky bravado?! You LOVE it! Oh, but when it's me it's suddenly wrong? You're hypocrites! This year, I'm positioned to be the change I want to see in the world. I've got a path before me, that will see EBW finally grow for the better. The Crystal Kingdom is expanding, as is DVNO. Isn't that right Mike?

Kinniku Mike: And now I'm getting booed? Why? I thought you'd all be happy to see that I'm fine. My head is good, as is my neck. I'm cleared. Why are you booing? Because I attacked Amigo? Well let me ask you something. See if you know the answer. Did I ASK Amigo to attack my son? Did I ask him to Hagen Suplex the kid onto concrete? Isiah is my son. He made a big move when he joined DVNO. At first, yeah I was a bit hurt. I wasn't happy with how things played out. Who would be? Then I got to thinking, and I realized he was right about me, and about a lot of the things I had done. I wasn't there for him, and dammit I'm trying now. If joining DVNO means I get to support my son, then this is the path I'm going to take. Strong Tits crave the Triple Crown Tack, but I am a father first, and if DVNO is a success then my son is a success, so I'm in. I'm 100% committed to the cause, and Amigo, you can stay the hell away from my son. Thanks, but no thanks.

Isiah Muscle: It's good to have more than one role model in DVNO. I'm surrounded by the best, and I will become the new hotness in no time.

Tack Angel: I am issuing an ultimatum for 2022. DVNO will become the premiere force in EBW. It will be the army that carries EBW into a Silver Millenium. This year, I'm going to make it clear. You're either with us or against us. Furthermore, if you're against us, the consequences will be di-

Trevor Mach: 2022 starting off the same as 2021, with ol' Tacker Jack running his mouth.

The crowd cheered as Trevor Mach lead Blood 4 Blood to the stage. Mav Valentine was especially ready to run to the ring to say "hello".

Tack Angel: Always interrupting. Always rude. You figure Hazen punching you into a TKO would've knocked some sense into you.

Trevor Mach: Here we go. Going right for it huh? Yeah, I don't like how it ended. I would say I was still fighting to escape personally.

Tack Angel: Because you don't take responsbility, and always place the blame on other.

Trevor Mach: Hey, it is what it is. Hazen won, but that doesn't mean he's going to keep winning. That's what rematches are fo-

Tack Angel: Of course. Trevor Mach needs his win back. He needs his belts. Belts, belts, belts. Your ego isn't enough? You always have to wrap yourself in belts to make yourself feel like a big deal. You're always flip flopping too. Sometimes you act like the Triple Crown is the ultimate prize, but when you're not in the chase you go after any belt you can and try to pretend like IT'S the ultimate prize. Hell, when you didn't have a belt for a while, you carried around a bloody towel and acted like IT was a belt! You went around the territories and wrapped yourself in more belts to stoke the ego! It's all about ego and machismo with you!

Trevor Mach: I like a challe-

Tack Angel: I'M TALKING TREVOR! WHEN THE KING SPEAKS YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH! YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! No, you know what? We were going to save this, but what better time than now. Hazen, please present the Challenge Championship.

Hazen placed the title belt before Tack Angel.

Tack Angel: You went and finally got your "Bushido Rules" solidified. You've worked hard for years to try and make that work huh? This belt respents that? As far as I'm concerned, it's all garbage, and this belt is too. There is only one true singles champion among the men of EBW, and you're looking at him. Wouldn't you agree Hazen?

Hazen: Absolutely.

Tack Angel: See? He gets it.

Trevor Mach: What are you getting at Tack?

Tack Angel: I'm saying, that I'm going to take THIS sledgehammer, and destroy this title here and now.

Trevor Mach: The hell man! Don't do that!

Tack Angel: Oh yeah? Does it matter to you? It's the symbol of all your hard work? But, wouldn't it be funny if I broke it? Wouldn't that be funny? The bantz Trevor. Who said the King isn't funny anymore.

Trevor Mach: I'm not the only one who has worked hard to instill Bushido into EBW. Don't make this mistake because you're bitter that you couldn't beat me.

Tack Angel: You think provoking me is going to help?! I'm going to smash this piece of s-

Trevor Mach: DON'T!

Tack Angel: ...You don't want me to that badly huh? You look serious. A lot of people can't tell when you're serious or not, but I can see it right now. I know you. You really don't want me to smash this belt. I tell you what. I'm going to make you a deal Trevor. If you agree not to challenge for any belts this year, then I won't smash this belt. You're going to learn to live without. No belts for Trevor Mach. What do you say?

Trevor Mach: Fine.

Tack Angel: You didn't even hesitate. You trying to act tough?

Trevor Mach: Just don't smash the belt.

Tack Angel: Right. You have to be a man of your word here. It's going to be recorded. It's going to be remembered. You agree not to challenge for any belt this year, and I won't smash this belt.

Trevor Mach: I accept that! Just don't smash the belt!

Tack Angel: OK. That's a fair deal I think. I'm generous.

w00t: SO generous!

Tack Angel: So we have a deal. It is set in stone. But hey, remember the Mars Championship? Yeah, of course I haven't forgotten. It was all about the wording Trevor. I agree that I won't smash the belt, but Hazen, he'll get his hands dirty. Do the honors please.

Hazen: *nods*

Hazen grabbed the sledgehammer and shattered the Challenge Championship.

Trevor Mach: .....

Tack Angel: If someone wants to challenge me for the true singles titles in EBW under Bushido Rules, then I will accept. I like the idea of the Champion's Advantage. What do you say Mav? You want to make our title match Bushido Rules? Want to show me what all the hub bub is about?

Mav Valentine: First off, you're a dick head for that. That was a dick move. We all agree? We all agree. Dick move. Secondly, you're on!

Tack Angel: I'm the dick head? Who tried to run Trevor Mach off the road once, and nearly hurt one his kids in the process? Oh yeah, I remember that. Everyone else seems to forget, but I watch the product. I study it. You're a hypocrite too.

Mav Valentine: That's in the past. I'm looking to the future, and at New Year Rising, I'll-

Tack Angel: New Year Rising? Who said anything about New Year Rising? No no, you misunderstood. It's a new year. This is the first Xcite of then new year. We're starting 2022 off right. That match is happening TONIGHT!

Mav Valentine: Oh yeah? You're in that much of a hurry to lose the 5-Crown Supremacy huh? Happy to take it off your hands!

Tack Angel: I would LOVE to see you try. I'll beat you at your own game. By the way, I said I have a better name for this assortment of titles. 5-Crown Supremacy is good, but this is much more appropriate. From now on, you can say I have a "Royal Flush". *wink*

Trevor Mach: .....

w00t: You did it. You made Trevor Mach speechless.

Trevor Mach: Hmm? Oh I stopped listening, because I was thinking about caving in Hazen's skull before I come back around to you Tack. I might have made that promise, but that doesn't mean you're not on the wheel. It all comes around.

Tack Angel: *chuckle* Try looking me in the eyes next time you say that. Bantz right?

Backstage

Makoto Angel ran up to a livid Swift, who was on the phone.

Swift: *on the phone* You see him, you let me know! I want to have more than just a couple words with that punk ass bitch!

Makoto Angel: Swift! Mr. President! Did you see what just happened out there? My Tack Star King is making big moves in 2022 already!

Swift: Can't say I appreciate him smashing up a belt! Can't say I appreciate that one damn bit! He's being fined the price of the belt, but I'm sure that's a drop in the bucket to a King at this point. I liked him better when he was poor. I'm a bit busy right now though, so if you could-

Makoto Angel: Is it about Void?

Swift: Chaz Hardcastle. Let's just get right out and say it. Chaz Hardcastle was Void, he was Void this whole time. He's been subverting this company from the inside and out, and I'm not having it! ENN is considering options in terminating him, but he's weaseled his way into a good contract. However, his influence from an ENN perspective is over. Now, it's all about what happens in that ring, and if he can fight, and I know he can, he won't mind having a rematch with the President! I-

Erica: Actually, I have an idea about that.

Swift: Huh? Erica? What the hell do you want?

Erica: Chaz Hardcastle, he....he attacked me. He abducted me. He did things I don't want to repeat. I won't get into the details, but he tried to break me. He failed. Now, I want a piece of him.

Swift: You want me to book you against Void? Are you insane?

Erica: It's the match I want.

Swift: ...Maybe...maybe we can work something out. Come with me.

Makoto Angel: We'll be on the look out for Void and Undeth as the night progresses. Until we find him, back to the action!

EBW: Xcite "2022 Begins"
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN

1. Singles: Point Man vs. Jaden Yuki
-Point Man made his entrance to a strong reaction from the crowd. He didn't quite get the result he wanted at Last Clash, but he showed that he could hang with the top talent in EBW, proving again just how cool and reliable of a character he is. Yuki waited in the corner with his face away from Point Man as he was introduced to the crowd. Jaden quickly took him to the mat, then took him over and locked in a choke until Point Man broke by getting to the ropes. The crowd was chanting for Point Man as he attacked from behind to try and lock in the Cobra Clutch. Yuki immediately took him back to the mat, then locked in a submission hold. Point Man broke it, but Jaden remained aggressive and attacked him with a series of rights and Point Man went for the tornado DDT, but Jaden had it scouted and hit him with a clothesline. Jaden hit a high-collar suplex, then hit Point Man with a series of cross-face forearms. He motioned for Point Man to get back to his feet, only to hit a kick to the mid section and land the GX Factor for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Jaden Yuki via GX Factor -> Pin

Sal Paradise: That's a great way to kick off 2022, with a great match! Solid wrestling action. Got to hand it to that prick Jaden Yuki, he got the job done.

Apple Kid: Hello everyone by the way and Happy New Year! It's 2022 now, and we're off to a how start aren't we? We have a Triple Crown World Championship match tonight! Aren't you glad you tuned in tonight? The Challenger Championship was destroyed, and Void IS in the building. He HAS been sighted. Should I say Chaz Hardcastle? Void?

Sal Paradise: Yes. Also, that dick head traitor Kinniku Mike is here. Listen, do I get that he's not going to turn on his kid? Sure. Family is a strong bond. However, Amigo and you are like brothers man, and you could've avoided that. You set up Amigo for the fall. He's not here tonight, and I'm not surprised in the slightest. Don't worry though. That doens't mean he isn't coming back. For fans of Amigo and Mike going to war, you might just have something to look forward to.

Apple Kid: DVNO is apparently issuing an ultimatum to the entire roster, and Tack Angel is not kidding around, but we have so much more going on too. We're going to hear from the Women's World Champion Christina Angel tonight. She's offically breaking records with this title reign and we want to hear what she's got planned next. Also, the World Tag Team Championships will be decided, ironically on a night were Trevor Mach is in action, one of the men stripped of the titles due to the injuries sustained in the war with Tack Angel. Right now though, we have Trevor Mach, Subculture, and Picky Minch in action, as they take on Ilya Fedorovich, Radzi Schrieffer, and Golvoth in 6-Man Tag action! Let's do this!

2. 6-Man Tag: Trevor Mach/Subculture/Picky Minch vs. Ilya Fedorovich/Radzi Schrieffer/Golvoth
-A frantic battle of shooters shooting on shooters, in a display of Bushido intensity. I haven't seen this much shooting since the last time EBW was in Windy City. Wakka wakka! Ilya's team has had ups and down since breaking away from Hazen, and despite looking good in this match, it would be another down, as Picky and Subbie fought Ilya and Golvoth on the outside, Trevor managed to shoot behind Radzi to hit a Reverse Trevorplex! after a knee to the back of the head, and then smashed Radzi with the Knee Trigger for the pin and the win.
Winners: Trevor Mach[o]/Subculture/Picky Minch via Knee Trigger on Radzi Schrieffer -> Pin

Sal Paradise: Now that's more like the Trevor Mach I know. He was guarding his right side at Last Clash, and that might have cost him, but he seemed less worried about it tonight. I'm guessing rage is the fuel.

Apple Kid: The man wears scars like badges of honor, but a broken orbital bone is no laughing matter. He threw caution to the wind tonight.

Sal Paradise: ...I rescued him from the moon once.

Apple Kid: Right. That didn't happen didn't it? EBW is weird.

Sal Paradise: Very.

Apple Kid: That's actually not a bad segueway Sal, because I'm hearing that the man responsible for that, Derek Mach is in the building! I'm hearing he too is on the look out for Void. As is Fray Tiburon and Javier Leos of the A-Men. Keep an out people, because we have no idea what Void might have up his sleeve next.

3. Women's Singles: Sunny Malibu vs. Gold
-A livid Sunny Malibu decided to take out her frustrations on Gold, in a one sided beat down. The Shark Order's large chested oneesan was blindsided from the get go, and never had much a chance to recover. It wasn't long before Sunny hit the Ocean Cyclone Suplex to floor Gold for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Sunny Malibu via Ocean Cyclone Suplex -> Pin

Sal Paradise: Shit! That girl is mad! I wouldn't want to be on her bad side!

Apple Kid: The rumor is she's not happy that both of her losses to Hope have been via Referee Stoppage, and she wants to remove those stains from her record. I'm guessing that means another match down the line, we're told that Hope already has a match set for New Year Rising 2022, and we're going to hear about that on XP! Hey, we got to save SOME big news for later in the week right?

Sal Paradise: I mean I guess. I'm not on that show, so that's kind of a bummer.

Apple Kid: Neither am I.

Sal Paradise: Yeah, but look at me. Look at this face. This face needs to be on TV.

Apple Kid: ...

Sal Paradise: *grins so widely his teeth actually sparkle and make that DING! sound*

Apple Kid: ...Standing by in the back is Makoto Angel, and she's joined by the Women's World Champion Christina Angel!

Backstage

Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here, feeling like a proud Momma right now, as I stand with Christina Angel, the Women's World Champion. Christina, it looked like you hurt your leg in the match that cost you the Television Championship, but you managed to stick it out and defend your World Championship once again. You must be proud of yourself.

Christina Angel: This is where I'm supposed to be. This is what I'm supposed to be doing. For years, Hope and I were pegged as the future of this division, and we've solified that fact. We're there now. We're the faces of this division, and I'd put my matches and her matches right up there with the best women's matches in EBW history. I'd say we give the competition a run for its money too. We're not a woman exclusive promotion, and that means you have to fight for exposure sometimes, but that makes it all the sweeter when you get to have the final match of the year. My plans are to continue what I'm doing. I've seen Darkness Aoi in the crowd lately. I've seen her there for my matches, and I've seen her there for Hope's matches. If she wants another shot at the title, she can come for it. She's a great talent, and it would be a waste of a TUE for her not to come back, but drop the merc BS. You're either with us or against u-

"Lady M's": I couldn't agree more Christina.

Christina Angel: Rose?

"Lady M's": I'm not out here to fight. I wanted to congratulate you. You did great. I know most people see you as the veteran between us in terms of exposure, but I was wrestling and training, and preparing for matches like that when you were still in diapers. I'm basing that off Christy of course.

Christina Angel: Of course...but even then she aged up super fast and-never mind.

"Lady M's": I'm happy with the result well enough. I'm the Women's Television Champion. I took the World Champion to the limit. That's good enough....for now. However, we might have to have another match down the line. In the meantime though, I wanted to touch on something you just said. You're either with us or against us. That's why I brought this shirt for you.

Christina Angel: Huh? DVNO?

"Lady M's": Exactly. I'm sure you're with the program right? Congratulations again Christina. You earned that title. You're the ACE of the division for a good reason.

Christina Angel: .....

4. EBW World Tag Team Championship Decision: w00t/Isiah Muscle vs. Brandish X/Noroi
-The semi-main event would see the first World Tag Team Champions of 2022 crowned, as w00t and Isiah Muscle teamed up to take on Brandish X and Noroi. The Auditor was standing on the outside, but Void/Chaz Hardcastle was nowhere to be seen. w00t stepped in to do most of the heavy lifting on this one, while Kinniku Mike coached his son on pointers from the outside. A busy and high paced affair, made all the most interesting with the action that soon exploded outside of the ring. Derek Mach ran down with a chair and chased off the Auditor. Noroi was the legal man as Derek stood on the ring apron ready to strike. Noroi lifted his mask just enough for Derek to see, which made him halt his attack, but w00t took the opportunity as he is known to do, and hit the wKo on Noroi, pinning him for the win. w00t and Isiah quickly ran out of the ring with the titles, as Mike hoisted up his son, congratulating him on his first World Championship so early in his rookie career.
Winners: w00t[o]/Isiah Muscle via wKo on Noroi -> Pin -> NEW EBW World Tag Team Champions!

Sal Paradise: Well THAT got crazy! What did Derek see that made him stop? With these guys you just can't tell anymore.

Apple Kid: I didn't know who I wanted to win that one! That was weird for me. DVNO has more gold now. DVNO is working towards having all the gold. That's insane to think about, but without the Challenge Championship, Tack Angel holds ALL the singles gold in the men's division. They have the Team Rings. Now, they have the World Tag Team Championships. That's EVERYTHING!

Sal Paradise: Well...not technically if you count the Mars Championship.

Apple Kid: Are you...are you TRYING to stir the pot?

Sal Paradise: Tee hee.

Apple Kid: Well fans, 2022 is going to be a hot year for EBW, and what better way to prove that then with a Triple Crown World Championship bout! Bushido Rules! Tack Angel vs. Mav Valentine, and it's happening right now!

5. EBW Triple Crown World Championship Bushido Rules: Tack Angel(c) vs. Mav Valentine
-Main event time, as Tack Angel's impromptu challenge to Mav Valentine completely shifted the format of the entire show. A sign of the growing power of the Constellation King and his "Royal Flush" clout. Mav came out ready to go, having been waiting for this moment for months, a chance to finally get a piece of Tack Angel. Tack was calm and collected as he handed off his gear to his waiting and loving wives. The two locked up right at the bell, with Tack getting the early upper hand. He went for an early submission, which was reversed by Mav for a rear naked choke that Tack quickly escaped with a rope break. Tack connected with a huge superkick, then whipped Mav hard into the corner. Mav tried fighting back but was met with another kick to the face. Tack's leg seemed to be holding up under the pressure. Tack went for another kick, but Mav blocked it and hit a Fisherman's Suplex. He set up and hit the Mav Buster, but forgot that pinning wasn't in the cards for Revised Bushido Rules. Tack returned to his feet and picked Mav up and hit him with a neck breaker as w00t and Hazen cheered him on. Mav shot in on Tack, but Tack fought him off and hit Mav with a dropkick, then an elbow strike in the corner. Tack tested his leg and ran towards the corner and hit a stalled dropkick into Mav in the corner. Mav tried fight back with hard strikes, and blocked a few kicks. Tack reversed a Hagen suplex attempt but was met with another soon after. Mav tried to hit a running STO, but Tack pushed him off and landed a sick kick to the head with his left leg that sent Mav to his knees. Tack kicked him again, and then again when he tried to get back up. Mav continued to try to climb to his feet, but eventually the ref called for the TKO, as Mav seemed to be too out of it. Another title defense for the holder of the "Royal Flush".
Winner: Tack Angel via TKO -> Title Defense!

Apple Kid: And Tack Angel defends again! A TKO win, and Mav doesn't seem to like that. He's mouthing off at Tack, telling him to get back in the ring, and he is....TO HIT A HEAD KICK! Mav goes down! Here comes Blood 4 Blood. Picky Minch is getting into Tack's face. Picky Minch specifically.

Sal Paradise: That's a match we've never seen before!

Apple Kid: I think you're right about that. Tack is holding up his hands and walking away, but he looked about ready to kick Picky's head off too. The ring is quickly clearing out now, as Swift is heading down with Erica, Derek Mach, Fray Tiburon, and Javier Leos. What's going on here?

Sal Paradise: Let's sit back and find out, but since it's probably about Void, maybe watch your back too.

Apple Kid: Ah!

Swift: VOID! GET OUT HERE NOW! Chaz, you want to be called Chaz instead? I don't really care. All I know, is that you screwed us over long enough, and it's time you're dealt with. I don't want to talk about it. I don't care about the result of the match at Last Clash. You'll have to kill me to stop me, so come out here and try! VOID! I'M CALLING YOU OUT NOW!

Suddenly a smiling Chaz Hardcastle appeared on the screen.

Chaz Hardcastle: Swift! Buddy! I'm not in the arena, but I can hear you from here! I'm in ENN HQ right now. I'm a busy man after all. We have a big big year ahead of us. Lots to do and-

Erica: CUT THE SHIT! You're a monster! You're a sick psychopath piece of garbage, and I will tear you apart for what you did to me!

Chaz Hardcastle: Heh...Erica, you were liberated, as I am liberated whenever he decides to enlighten me.

Fray Tiburon: Who is he?

Chaz Hardcastle: Why...you don't know? Surely you would know Friar. My dark passenger. Over time, his needs were met and his blood lust satiated, so he passed his torch to Derek Mach, but lately....lately he has emerged again, and now......

Void: I intend to finish what I started.

Fray Tiburon: And what are you intentions?

Derek Mach: I can answer that for you. Anarchy. Isn't that right Void? Is that what you promised HIM to join you as Noroi?

Void: You always thought on simple terms Derek. You disappoint me. The pure, carnal, and animalistic purge of the falsehoods of humanity. We will all remove the masks we wear, and embrace Undeth.

Swift: Like hell Chaz...or Void...WHATEVER! Your time as an executive is at an end, but you're still under contract, and that puts you in MY sights, and I've got just the thing for you. At New Year Rising, it will be Undeth vs. myself, Derek Mach, Fray Tiburon....and Erica.

Void: You want to play games? More lessons to teach I see? Well....

Chaz Hardcastle: I think that'll lead to a LOT of ENN+ subscriptions Swift! Sounds great! I'd say let's do lunch and talk about it further...but I doubt you'd be up for it. Although...you might be in line for an audit. We'll see what happens right? Ciao. Hahaha!
