Ms. Xtra: XTRA! XTRA! IT'S TIME FOR EBW: XTRA! Eh? Eh? Oh, it's cringe isn't it? People aren't going to get the reference anymore. Stupid time messing with my references! I'll figure it out! Welcome to Xtra, and it's the blue one this time, because it's after XP? Get it yet? I've got a chart if you need it, but it just says "don't be an idiot" on it, so let's save that for later. The E1 is heating up, and we're really getting into it now. This next week will make or break the chances for many, and after that it'll be about pride. We don't WANT to see Boomtown, Jaden Yuki, OR Magnum PT end the tournament with zero points, but it's becoming more and more likely. Meanwhile, Dan Club are getting back into contention. Specific wins and losses could put them right back at the top. I love a good close race. You what else I love, other than my ENN+++XXX Platinum Tier backups on my harddrive? Point Man! The ENN+ Champion, Pucky, and Alison Chains took on Dirk Laramie, Chuck Rand, and Hilda Iceheart in our Xtra Exclusive match this week. Why? Well, Dirk and Chuck are both a bit salty about Pucky stealing all their "heat" as Dirk put it, and never inviting them into the Weekend Wrecking Crew. Here was Pucky's response to them.
-
Pucky: Give your balls a tug ya tit*bleep*er! You think I'm scared of either those pansy ass clown boys. Their faces remind me of a tragedy, and their dicks remind me of a comedy. I-
Tack Angel: Whoa! Hang on! Uh...hi...I'm Tack Angel. Listen, I just heard someone say tit...doer a few seconds ago, and it reminded me that I was looking for someone. I needed to talk to them and figure out why. Do you know where they went?
Pucky: ...*points down the hall*
Tack Angel: Thank you.
Pucky: ...Now that guy's definitely a tit*bleep*er.

Ms. Xtra: Riveting stuff. I was at the edge of my seat....truly. Let's check out the match!
XTRA EXCLUSIVE MATCH!
Xtra 6-Mixed Tag: Point Man/Pucky/Alison Chains vs. Dirk Laramie/Chuck Rand/Hilda Iceheart
-Pucky and Alison Chains spent most of the match talking trash to their counter parts, while Point Man did the heavy lifting for his team, and reliably so. Dirk and Chuck tried to make the case that Point Man shouldn't be helping Pucky, but Point Man said he was doing it for PT, Pucky, the Crew, and all the fans, and of course they all loved hearing that. Hilda wanted no part in the match personally, but was apparently paid well by Dirk and Chuck for her services. She got in there with Alison, but Chains picked up another chain related hobby...in chain smoking, and put a cigarette out on Hilda and nearly getting a DQ. Pucky loved it of course as he spit his own chewing tobacco, making Chuck Rand gag. Match ended with Point Man getting the Cobra Clutch on the gagging Rand and forcing a Submission. A victory for the ENN+ Champion's team.
Winners: Point Man[o]/Pucky/Alison Chains via Cobra Clutch on Chuck Rand -> Submission

Ninten: Am I on? Hey everyone! Ninten here, from an undisclosed location, because of a guy named Bester. Do me a favor? Don't tell him where I am, or where Ana is. I don't know if the tin foil will keep him out of my head, but here's hoping right? Don't trust the Psi Corp! *clears throat* The E1 Climax has three more shows left before the finale is shaped up, and we have the current standings. Let's take a look!
A Block
Trevor Mach[5]
Zyro Kurogane[5]
Benjamin[3]
Jammer[4]
Jason Boomtown[0]
Sal Paradise[6]
Kinniku Mike[4]
Subculture[5]
B Block
Tack Angel[6]
Bashin Dan[4]
w00t[8]
Jaden Yuki[0]
Magnum PT[0]
Hazen[8]
Isiah Muscle[1]
Mav Valentine[3]
Ninten: What Ana? What? He's coming? Seriously?! This is getting VERY inconvenient. Well folks, we gotta bounce, but let's show the next card before we do! Xcite is coming back to Reefside for the end of summer, which means it will be in late August/early September, which could be considered near the end of summer, but if you try to say that late July is the end of summer, I'd tell you to drop the marketing ploy, stop putting Halloween stuff in your store, and get some help. This will be a big Xcite, as we'll see some serious grudge matches. w00t and Hazen will collide, and they're both the last two to be undefeated, so who knows how THAT is going to work out. EBW Television Champion Mav Valentine will also finally get his hands on Tack Angel. Add to that a Blood 4 Blood battle between Trevor Mach and Subculture, and this is one late summer specifically showdown you don't want to miss.
Ana: NINTEN LET'S GO!
Ninten: RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

ShogunTV! News
Edoese Reporter: Konichiwa Edo, I'm joined by the miracle couple you've all been hearing about. This is Shinichi Taru, and his wife Yuki, whom as you can see appears to be nine weeks pregnant. Here's the twist in the story though, because yesterday, she showed no signs of being pregnant at all! Shinichi, how are you feeling about all of this?
Shinichi Taru: Considering I insisted she take the pill...I've very confused. By the way, how old are you?
Edoese Reporter: Huh? Um...Yuki? How are you feeling?
Yuki Taru: You know, you'd figure this would reall hurt, but actually I'm doing juuuusssst fi-OW! OW! OW! I think....I THINK IT'S COMING!
Shinichi Taru: What?!
Yuki Taru: THE BABY IS COMING SHINICHI! TAKE MY HAND!
Shinichi Taru: To be honest, I haven't wanted to touch her lately since she started showing signs of aging, so I can't see how I'm even the Da-
Yuki Taru: TAKE MY HAAAAAAAAND!
Shinichi Taru: OK FINE!
Yuki Taru: AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Shinichi Taru: : AAAAAAHHHH!!!!
The two yelled out, but the yelling got louder, and even the reporter got into it, as the stomach continued to grow in size, and finally something emerged...a hand...an adult human hand...and then and arm...and head...and so on and so forth until.
Tony Wonder: Tada! Tony Wonder!
Edoese Reporter: Tony Wonder?!
Tony Wonder: I made it! I'm back! Somehow....and when I say that...I mean I TOTALLY knew what I was doing, but I won't reveal my secrets! But how did I- OH GOD! Is she OK?!
Yuki Taru: ...S-son?
Shinichi Taru: ...She'll be fine...but her nether regions have probably had it.
Tony Wonder: Did I?! Well...that explains the goo....and the nudity. I'm gonna go wash up.
Shinichi Taru: Well...I'm leaving.
Yuki Taru: Shinichi? Shinichi?
Tony Wonder: By the way...uh where am I?

Alfred Bester: Hello, I'm Alfred Bester, and I'm not here to perform the duties of host. You see, I represent an organization that believes it's time to house all psychics in our society under one umbrella. The Psi Corp, and we believe that the Corp is Mother, and the Corp is Father. I'm looking for known psychics like Ninten and Ana, but that's just the beginning of my search. If you have any information for me, please think it right now. Hmmm, so they were last seen in Dusty Dunes yesterday. Thank you, you've been very helpful viewer. Now, onto your show, because I have more pressing matters to attend to.
Saturn Cafe
Bashin Dan, Benjamin, Jammer, and Vape were at their usual table, with three of the licking their wounds from the E1 basically. Jammer had his foot wrapped up, Benjamin looked black and blue, and Bashin Dan kept having to resist the urge to poke at his eye patch.
Vape: ...So Jammer, how much would you have to be paid to get "Jammer #1" carved into your forehead.
Jammer: What? How much? Why?
Vape: Just curious. It would say "Jammer #1" forever on your forehead. How much would you have to be paid?
Jammer: I...would assume enough to invest in, considering I'd never get another job again.
Vape: That's not true. Swift would even give you a better contract in fact I bet. You know how the interior here is red and white? Well, the red supposedly makes people hungry.
Jammer: ...Uh-huh?
Vape: And when Swift would talk to you about your next contract, he's not going to be looking at the carving. He's going to be thinking "huh, Jammer #1 why am I thinking that?"
Jammer: ...Are you insane?
Vape: What?
Jammer: *sigh* I'd say I need at least a million dollars.
Vape: ...That'll buy a lot of Vape Funko Pops.
Jammer: I would never buy even one of those.
Vape: ...How am a Jammer one?
Jammer: Too cringe.
Vape: Oops.
Jammer: What did you do?
Vape: You know how you said we'd go into all of branding deals together? Well, I sort of agreed to give our likenesses over to have Funko Pops made. They made an error with your batch and they all say "Jammer #1" on the forehead.
Jammer: WHAT?!
Vape: But...I've got a check here...for $50,000!
Jammer: ...$50,000?
Vape: I know that's not a million.
Jammer: That's not even CLOSE to a million. Whatever. I'll take the check.
Vape: I'm glad you're cool with it.
Jammer: Did I say I was cool with it? I'm just too tired to argue about it.
Bashin Dan: It's been grueling guys, but I know we can work our way back to the top. I won the E1 Climax last year, and I can do my best to do it again.
Benjamin: A lot of people are counting on us to at LEAST give it our best. That Zyro Kurogane and Perfection in general need to be taught a lesson.
Bashin Dan: And the Stygian Inquisition...they have me worried too. It's never dull in EBW is it?
Jammer: More unpredictable now. Last couple years it made more sense. We knew who to hate. Tack Angel was the head of the snake. Now...who knows when and where you'll get bit.
Vape: I would pay a woman just to bite me. I just want to feel something.
Jammer: Jenny says she'll be you unconscious with a bat if she catches you sniffing her clothes again, so I bet you'd feel something then.
Vape: ...Well now I have a lot to think about.
Jammer: Dude.
Vape: What?
Jammer: I just noticed that you have "Vape #1" on YOUR forehead.
Vape: ...I wanted to see if it would work, and I've got the hairline for it.
Jammer: Hmmmm.
Vape: Is it working?
Jammer: Huh? I'm sorry I was...thinking.
Vape: Well, I'm gonna go guys, cause I got another endorsement meeting to attend, and this one is for ALL of us. The Dan Club....in POG FORM!
Jammer: Sure...you're the boss.
Bashin Dan: Yeah absolutely.
Benjamin: Like I'd argue with you.
Vape left and the three began to realize to snap out of their haze.
Bashin Dan: What just happened?
Benjamin: Was anyone else thinking "Vape #1" or was it just me?
Jammer: What did we just agree to!? I've got to stop him!
St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church - Smalltown
Trevor Mach watched from a distance as he saw the construction nearing completion on the brand new church for Smalltown. He smiled to himself as he clutched the rosary in his pocket. He was suddenly startled by another person.
Fray Tiburon: You're welcome to come in you know.
Trevor Mach: Whoa! You startled me Padre.
Fray Tiburon: It's not like you to get startled.
Trevor Mach: I don't know where anyone got that idea. I'm easily startled. I'm a very shaky guy.
Fray Tiburon: I see. You know none of this would be possible with out God guiding you towards this path.
Trevor Mach: Just happy to do some good. I can be proud of that.
Fray Tiburon: Just don't get too proud of it, start proclaiming yourself a King or something.
Trevor Mach: You're a buzzkill Padre.
Fray Tiburon: It was a joke. I'm allowed to joke right? I'm never here to crush your spirits. Please remember that. We're in this together. At the same time, if you were to come in from the garden with some weed killer and ask "should I drink this?" I'm gonna say no, a little weed killer before dinner probably won't add anything to your evening. Well it would, but probably not what you're looking for. Can't blame me for trying to help.
Trevor Mach: You're right about that. I'm glad you're not in the E1. I don't think I have the heart to wrestle you anymore.
Fray Tiburon: Really? You've been nothing short of a beast out there. I've never seen you more determined and committed to the fight.
Trevor Mach: Yeah, but beating up my Padre isn't going to do me any favors.
Fray Tiburon: I know what I get into when I get in the ring. I ask that if it ever comes up again, you'll honor me with your best.
Trevor Mach: I hope your coma is pleasant.
Fray Tiburon: ...99% maybe 98%
Trevor Mach: Heh. You're all right Padre.
Fray Tiburon: Interesting choice, naming the Church after Joan of Arc.
Trevor Mach: Turns out she's my Patron Saint. Helps that Tali adores her too. A real history buff about her. She's taught me a lot. Sometimes, I just lay there and listen to her teach me stuff for hours.
Fray Tiburon: I doubt that footage ever made it to the streaming service.
Trevor Mach: ...Probably not. Wasn't fun for them...but it was fun for me. *sigh* It's too bright out here.
Fray Tiburon: You're always wearing shades outside during the day. The light still hurts huh?
Trevor Mach: Yep. Small price to pay. I can still tend to the fields and play with my kids, I just look cooler doing it.
Fray Tiburon: That you do.
Trevor Mach: ...Can you tell me something? Do you know anything about the Stygian Inquisition?
Fray Tiburon: *sigh* I know things...yes.
Trevor Mach: This one bothers me. These fu-unkind fellas...are different to anything I've seen before. Now I'm in the cross hairs.
Fray Tiburon: I said that we're in this together, the Church and people, but they....are not in that equation. People...there is something wrong with us...all of us. We're brilliant, we're gifted, no limit to our inventiveness and yet...there's a streak in us, a darkness. It's almost self defeating...almost self hating. A propensity...an inclination...to sin. That is where you'll find them. They are taking it upon themselves to count up sin, and indulge in it. Make no mistake...they are not doing God's work. They work for the other guy. Please be careful.
Trevor Mach: ...Might have to be everything but careful Padre.
Fray Tiburon: *sigh* I was expecting you to say that. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Trevor Mach: Amen.
Saturn City Hospital
A weary Magnum PT woke up from the hospital bed to see Point Man at his side.
Magnum PT: Point Man? What are you doing here Chief? Wait...where AM I?
Point Man: The Point Man had to bring you to the hospital after you passed out again from blood loss. The Point Man could not allow his friend and ally to suffer any further. The Point Man gave you a blood transfusion!
Magnum PT: Uh...the Magnum Man appreciates it? Wait...did I just do that because of the blo- just kidding, I'm fine, and I really appreciate it Chief. The next beer is on me. The next ten beers in fact.
Point Man: The Point Man only drinks milk and juice, but he is grateful to have such a good ally!
As the two shook hands in a brotherly fashion, an unexpected visitor appeared with a fruit basket.
Tack Angel: Oh! You're awake! I-
Magnum PT: Tack Angel?
Tack Angel: Uh...yeah...it's me. I heard you were in here, and I wanted to bring you a fruit basket. I think I used to do this? Last couple years are kind of hazy still. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I was almost in the same situation because of the Stygian Inquisition, so I felt for ya. This fruit is packed in vitamins.
Point Man: Vitamins are good for blood regeneration! The Point Man thinks fruit consumption would be very wise!
Magnum PT: Well...thanks Tack. I-wait...what's that?
Tack Angel: Hmmm?
Magnum PT: In your hand. What is that?
Point Man: It appears to be hair clippers!
Tack Angel: Oh this?! Haha...I-uh...um.
Magnum PT: ...Where you going to shave my mullet and mustache Chief?
Tack Angel: ...Look a diversion!
Tack pointed out the window and ran away, tripping into a nurse, blushing and pouring blood from his nose as he tripped again into the elevator.
Magnum PT: ...Oh hey...this basket has apples in it. I love apples!

Reefside Beach Resort - Backstage
Jammer was doing squats when Vape ran up to him, and by ran up, I mean he jogged for a second and nearly had a heart attack.
Vape: *huff puff* *cough cough cough* Hey Slam Master, I've got to talk to you.
Jammer: Maybe sit down first bro?
Vape: I'm...working on my cardio. *cough cough cough cough*
Jammer: You uh...you sure you don't want to sit down? Drink some water? Take an aspirin?
Vape: I've come up with a new way for us to get better in the ring!
Jammer: Push ups? Sit ups? Juice?
Vape: Improv!
Jammer: ...Huh?
Vape: Improv baby! If we become improv masters, we'll be able to improvise more in the ring!
Jammer: Um...maybe we could try that?
Vape: It's just important to remember something. If you come up with anything funny to say....bury it...keep it deep down inside...or give it to me.
Jammer: What?
Vape: Don't ever interrupt me, and let me get the last word. That'll really help us....in improv class.
Jammer: Is there someone in this improv class you're trying to impress?
Vape: Most of them.
Jammer: Uh-huh. Cast a wide net, catch a lot of fish?
Vape: Bingo!
Jammer: We COULD go play Bingo instead.
Vape: Those are all OLD women there!
Jammer: And? You ever see Golden Girls? Hubba hubba am I right?
Vape: You're disgusting!
Jammer: Fine. Where is this improv class?
Vape: It's...it's....at the Saturn City High School.
Jammer: Is it literally just a high school class?
Vape: ...Yeah.
Jammer: I'M the disgusting one. ME!
Kinniku Mike: Uuuu! You're BOTH a disgrace as far as I'm concerned!
Jammer: Here it comes.
Vape: Hey Mike! We were team mates for like two weeks remember?
Kinniku Mike: Worst two weeks of that embarrassment. I couldn't STAND acting like Tack was better than me. Even worse, was treating you like an equal. Look how out of shape you are. You're literally sweating from talking!
Vape: SO! *huff puff* I'm working on it!
Kinniku Mike: You're literally eating a doughnut right now!
Vape: ...It's low fat!
Kinniku Mike: No it isn't!
Vape: ...LAY OFF ME I'M STARVING!
Jammer: Hey! If anyone is going to make fun of my friend it's me! You leave him alone. He's on my side of the court now, and he's going to watch me dunk on you tonight.
Kinniku Mike: Don't think I've forgotten about what you did Jammer! You battered me with a basketball?! Pathetic!
Jammer: Dude, not only was that months ago, but I literally didn't do that. It was obviously w00t trying to frame me to sew discord and make sure you were loyal to DVNO.
Kinniku Mike: Nice try, but my strongest muscle is the one between my ears. I like to break a mental sweat too ya know.
Jammer: Yeah...sure...whatever. It doesn't matter, cause I'm still going to dunk on you and score two more points.
Kinniku Mike: Not likely! Cause you're gonna get floored by these STRONG TITS! As for Vape? HE'S FAT!
Vape: Rude!
Kinniku Mike walked away right into DVNO B-Team
Cadmus: Mike! Glad to see ya buddy! Just let w00t know that I'm keeping the team together, and once my arm heals we're gonna-
Mike proceeded to beat down Cadmus, Horace Angel, and CP Munk. Tony Wonder burst into the room at the last second.
Tony Wonder: TONY WONDER IS BA-OW!
"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"
Larry Grim: Welcome back to Reefside for EBW: XP! The E1 Climax rolls on, and this time I'm ready, because I brought SPF 5000 sunscreen for my exposed bones!
Apple Kid: It's good to plan ahead! I burn easily too. It's hot, and so is the crowd. I can expect the matches will be as well. If you're thinking of cold things right about now, you're going to be disappointed! Summer is ending...near the end of September...and we're going to end the season in style with the E1 Climax! Incredible matches to behold, for those who sail the grand line to find the One Piece of Wrestling!
Makoto Angel: What are you talking about?
Apple Kid: Hmmm? Nothing...just someone in my head is all.
Makoto Angel: ...I think that's my gimmick. No matter, because the E1 Climax rolls on! Let's hit right off the bat with the EBW World Champion Zyro Kurogane, the man who shocked the world and united the Triple Crown. He also...hurt me and Tack very much with his betrayal...but THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! LET'S GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD! Haha...ha.
EBW Xcite "E1 Climax 2022"
Reefside Beach Resort, Reefside
ENN
1. E1 Climax Block A: Zyro Kurogane[5] vs. Jason Boomtown[0]
-Jason Boomtown was hurting and suffering from a losing streak, and the EBW World Champion intended on keeping the bad luck going for the TUE Season 3 winner. Kurogane zoned in on the right arm of Jason with an arm bar into a Garvin Stomp. Boomtown fought back with a dropkick and leaping splash in the corner. Boomtown did a "Beyblade Let er' Rip" taunt out of the corner and turned around right into a spinebuster. Kurogane lifted him up for the Straight Jacket Hagen and took him to the mat for the 1-2-3. Harshest loss yet for Boomtown.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen Suplex -> Pin -> Zyro Kurogane[7]
Apple Kid: The champ made that one look easy. Holy crap is he just advancing so much in such a short amount of time. Some people crash and burn when they advance this quickly, but Zyro-K is taking control of his destiny here. Doesn't hurt that he has Perfection backing him up. Look again at that slick replay of the arm bar into the Garvin Stomp.
Makoto Angel: Who is Garvin?
Apple Kid: Don't worry about it.
Larry Grim: Wait...no story time with Zyro-K? He's taking a Lakitu with him to the back. Where is going?
The Lakitu followed Zyro-K to a special door labeled "Perfection VIPs Only", and the EBW World Champion lead him inside.
w00t: Look familiar? I expect the best, and I give the best. That's the Perfection way. The VIP Room is BACK! How you liking the hot tub Mike?
Kinniku Mike: It's not the only thing I'm liking right now.
Isiah Muscle: Really Dad? Here? NOW?!
Kinniku Mike: Hehe, I'm getting my injuries rehabbed.
w00t: Look away Isiah, oh and your match is next, so go give em hell. That's what we're giving them right? Hell? This is a damnation game we're playing isn't Trevor? Isn't it Tack? Destined to battle our way to hell. Destiny, right Tack? Heh, it's all a joke to me. I'll play you both like pawns all over again if I have to. I'll ride this nostalgia train back to the heights that I'm used to.
Zyro Kurogane: We're Perfection. We've got the tools, the talent, and we've got the gold.
Mr. Herb: Yes, but do you have the GREEN, because not only am I Green, but I'm retired. I am green and I am retired!
w00t: ...Who let him in here?
2. E1 Climax Block B: Isiah Muscle[1] vs. Jaden Yuki[0]
-High energy immediately, as these two had a lightning quick start with Yuki being sent to the floor by Muscle. Jaden ducked a baseball slide, leveled Muscle with a forearm and chucked him into multiple guard rails. Seto Kaiba was watching from the first row, and Jaden Yuki flipped him the bird to delight of the crowd. Jaden wasn't playing the hero in this match, as he limped around fed up with losing. He was about to choke Isiah with the camera cable, but calmed down to avoid the DQ. Isiah took over and toyed with him back inside and dropped him with a stiff forearm this time. Isiah silenced the crowd for his knife edge chops to echo. Jaden drop kicked out the leg of Isiah, hit a Tiger Feint Kick and missile dropkick that sent him back outside. Isiah came back in like a house of fire, but Jaden put the fire out with a sudden kick to the mid-section and a GX Factor for the pin, the win, and two points finally on the board.
Winner: Jaden Yuki via GX Factor -> Pin -> Jaden Yuki[2]
Apple Kid: Jaden Yuki is FINALLY on the board. That defiant bird to Seto Kaiba said it all. He's not intimidated, not even a little bit, those two could really bring the house down, but that's then, and this is now. The E1 Climax has had ups and downs for a lot of talent so far, but at least now Jaden can say he broke the losing streak.
Larry Grim: I'm willing to bet Isiah was off his game after what he saw in the VIP Room.
Makoto Angel: What? He saw his father rehabbing to avoid injury right?
Apple Kid: ...You should tell her.
Larry Grim: *wispers skeletally*
Makoto Angel: ...*blush*
Apple Kid: There it is.
3. E1 Climax Block A: Sal Paradise[6] vs. Benjamin[3]
-Paradise had the upper hand early, but Benjamin went after his knee to gain the upper hand. He worked over Sal’s knee for a long period of time, keeping him floored and prepared for a big Spear later on. He was getting fired up, but Sal swapped the momentum and took Benji to the outside. He tried to attack Benji on the outside, but Sal ended up chopping the post. Sale went for a Vertical Drop Brainbuster on the floor, but Benji sent Sal into the guardrail instead. Sal mounted a comeback inside the ring and hit a vertical superplex. He made the cover, but only got two. Benji mounted back and hit the Spear for a two count and the fans fired up. Benji tried to replicate Sal’s hard strikes and he took a dragon suplex. Benji got up to his feet and fired up and nailed Sal with a forearm smash. Benji made the cover for a two count. Benjamin went for a package piledriver, but Sal fought out of it. Benji hit a rebound lariat, but Sal didn’t go down. He fired right back with a headbutt to the chest and both men were down as the fans applauded. Benji screamed and got up first. They went back and forth and Benji hit a Spear, but Sal kicked out at one. Benji hit the Excalibur, but this time he got a nearfall and the fans exploded. Benjamin hit another Spear and landed the Masamune for the 1-2-3. Benjamin with the win!
Winner: Benjamin via Spear x Masamune -> Pin -> Benjamin[5]
Apple Kid: Benjamin with the win! The Mystic Bout Machine halted the momentum of the People's Choice, but Sal is raising his hand in respect! Let's listen in here!
Sal Paradise: I've always liked you guys in the Dan Club. You reminded me a lot of myself, except for being clueless virgins for most of your time in EBW. That part was never true about me. Still, you had the fire, passion, and dedication that I needed to see, to get back on the right track. For a long time, I've thought that I was a slave to my impulses. I was a bad guy. I didn't want to be a bad guy. I wanted to be the People's Choice again. Turns out, all I ever had to do was ask you all to choose me again, and I can't thank you enough. Win or lose, I'm damn proud to be back in ring, damn proud of EBW, and damn proud of this guy right here. The Mystic Bout Machine people! Benjamin! Give it up for him!
Makoto Angel: That's classy. That's really classy. I love it.
Larry Grim: He just put a "Kick Me" sign on Benjamin's back.
Makoto Angel: Uh...that's just a rib...he's just having fun. Wrestlers who love to have a good time are so over right now right?
4. E1 Climax Block B: Magnum PT[0] vs. Bashin Dan[4]
-Bashin Dan was getting his momentum back, while PT was continuing to deal with nagging injuries. He had the color back in his face, but was still recovering. The fans seemed to love him even more for his fighting spirit. Tack Angel tried to get a cut your hair chant started to no avail. PT was still weak from the injuries and failed to capitalize on a Mustache Ride as he stumbled and fell out of the ring. The ref started the count as Bashin Dan encouraged him to get back in the ring. PT was too slow to get up, and the ref made the ten count. Bashin Dan with six points, and a dejected Magnum PT on the outside.
Winner: Bashin Dan via Count Out -> Bashin Dan[6]
Apple Kid: Oh you hate to see that. Magnum PT with another loss. Here comes Point Man to help him, but hang on, Dan's got a mic.
Bashin Dan: Wait! No! Don't help him up! Come on PT! Finish what you started! Get back to your feet! Feel that fire! Come on fans! Don't laugh! Don't mock him. If you mock him, you're mocking me. Please don't do it. We all love PT right? Right. So encourage him. Come on PT! On your feet!
The crowd chanted for Magnum PT, and he looked around feel emboldened. With all of his strength he rolled into the ring and joined Bashin Dan as the crowd cheered loudly. PT stood tall and proud.
Bashin Dan: Keep that chin up PT! I am inspired by your dedication. I only have one eye injured, but you could have died legitimately, and you STILL decided to give it all in the ring for the E1. Is it safe? Probably not. Is it healthy? Probably not. However, a Shonen Protagonist respects that every time. Let's hear it for PT everybody!
Tack Angel: CUT YOUR HAIR!
Bashin Dan: That's not gonna work Tack!
Tack Angel: Aw dang it!
5. E1 Climax Block A: Kinniku Mike[4] vs. Jammer[4]
-Kinniku Mike was all smiles as made his way out to the ring, to take on the Slam Master. Jammer tried to set up Mike for a big move on the ramp, but Mike countered him and eventually caught him with a big avalanche. Mike used his size to overwhelm Jammer and maintain the advantage for a long period of time. Mike missed a charge and Jammer rolled him up for a two count. He then caught Mike with a big uppercut right before the 10 minute mark and both men were down as the fans fired up. Jammer then hit a DDT on the floor. Jammer went into the ring and hit a big flip dive over the top to the floor to wipe out Mike, which is cool and all, but it didn't help him get any closer to winning the match. In fact, Jammer seemed to be more injured from the flip, and Mike caught him with a spear a short time later. He followed up with a senton for a near fall. Jammer backdropped Mike when he tried to lift him. They went at it and Jammer eventually caught Mike with a shotgun dropkick. Jammer placed Mike up top, but Mike pushed him off and splashed him off the turnbuckles. He followed up with a big lariat for a near fall. He lifted him for a series of suplexes, until Jammer fought out and lifted Mike, successfully connecting with a body slam. Mike looked to be out, as Jammer pumped up the kicks for the Slam Jam, but Mike was playing possum, and shot up to meet Jammer on the top rope. The two battled it out, but Jammer won out and pushed Mike back down to the mat, where he then hit the Slam Jam for the pin.
Winner: Jammer via Slam Jam -> Pin -> Jammer[6]
Apple Kid: Jammer with the win! Wow! Not a good night for Mike and Son, but Perfection has the chance to go 50/50 tonight, but that's later on, and by later on I mean in just a few minutes. This was a great comeback night for Dan Club. They all three had slow starts and all three are coming back. It's like they feed off each other...while Vape feeds off their plates! AHAHAHA...HA! Yeah, that was kind of mean, I apologize immediately. I guess I'm just jealous of togetherness.
Larry Grim: Don't feel bad. I'm jealous of everyone with skin.
Makoto Angel: Seriously, call Minako.
Apple Kid: Can we just cut to commercial?
Randon Kitchen
A rotund man in heavy makeup appeared on the screen.
Byron Tugman: Has this ever happened to you?
The camera cut over to a man frantically trying to remove what appeared to be a space alien from his face.
Frantic man: OH MY GOD IN HEAVEN! SWEET MERCIFUL LORD IT'S EATING MY EYEBALLS! I CAN FEEL IT SLIPPING INTO MY BRAIN! HELP ME! HELP ME! KILL MEEEEE!
The camera cut back to a stoic Byron Tugman.
Byron Tugman: Probably not, but has THIS ever happened to you?
Two kids were sitting at the table in the kitchen now, looking very bored. The frantic man was being dragged away in the background.
Kid #1: I'm SO bored!
Kid #2: Ever since the government banned the Vape's Happy Fun Ball, life just hasn't been the same. I've been thinking about killing myself.
Byron Tugman: Well have thoughts of suicide no more, before I present to you the Vape AND Jammer Happy Fun Ball Version 2.3!

Apple Kid: You know sometimes I forget that we HAVE commercials.
Larry Grim: Well you don't if you use the ENN+ app.
Makoto Angel: What happens if you're watching it that way?
Larry Grim: Well the show just keeps going.
Makoto Angel: You mean people can still hear us when we go to commercial?
Larry Grim: Yep!
Makoto Angel: *blush* I've said so many things I thought were in private!
Apple Kid: It gets better. When we come BACK from commercial, if you're in the middle of saying something you come off like a crazy woman!
Makoto Angel: AAAAH!
Apple Kid: Oh...why did I expect that to go differently? I'm so sorry!
Backstage
Trevor Mach stepped out of the Blood 4 Blood locker room, when he ran into Subculture, who blocked his path.
Trevor Mach: Sup big shoots?
Subculture: We need to talk.
Trevor Mach: About the match tonight? Look, I know we've had our history but-
Subculture: I'm not worried about that. We formed this damn thing together, and even a street dog knows about loyalty. We're like brothers now, and a match isn't going to change that. It's because we're like brothers that I want to talk about this though. I think Little Mac is ill.
Trevor Mach: Ill? Ill how?
Subculture: I don't know, but he's been trying to hide it from us. People see him coughing up blood.
Trevor Mach: That's not good.
Subculture: Not good at all. Is there...any thing YOU can do?
Trevor Mach: What do you mean?
Subculture: I was there for it Trevor. I saw what happened. They called you Azrael. You sprouted wings!
Trevor Mach: They got ripped out of back...painfully I might add. I'm just a guy.
Subculture: You still wear shades in the sun though.
Trevor Mach: ...a "parting gift".
Subculture: Dammit.
Trevor Mach: I appreciate the sentiment though.
Subculture: I know that Little Mac has been a down right bastard in the past but-
Trevor Mach: Hey man, it's wrestling. We've ALL been THAT bastard at one time or another. Hell, I used to think Tack was the exception to the rule, but he even was THAT bastard. It just happens, but that doesn't mean we don't have Mac's back. Let's keep an eye on this.
Subculture: Right. Thanks man. I appreciate it. So what's it like having wings, and having them ripped out? I've been meaning to ask about it. Everyone just sort of stopped talking about it. Even Christina did, and her Moms became the Mono-Mom.
Trevor Mach: ...A lot to unpack here.
6. E1 Climax Block B: Hazen[8] vs. w00t[8]
-w00t and Hazen engaged in a battle of two people that the fans didn't care for, BUT they were behind Hazen in this particular w00t charged at him, but Hazen shoulder blocked him down. He sent w00t to ringside with a clothesline. Isiah went to check on w00t, but Hazen tossed him aside. w00t turned around into a shoulder block by Hazen. Isiah blocked the ring post so that Hazen couldn’t ram w00t into it. w00t distracted the referee and Isiah attacked Hazen, before rolling him back into the ring. w00t hit a DDT for a near fall. He kicked and stomped at Hazen, and shouted at him for questioning Perfection, but Hazen threw off a wKo attempt and regained control. w00t was hit the thumb to the eye and rolled up Hazen for another nearfall. w00t was grabbed by the throat and choke slammed, but he was able to barely kick out. Hazen went for the Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver, but w00t escaped it and hit a wKo out of nowhere to break Hazen's unbeaten E1 streak with the pin.
Winner: w00t via wKo -> Pin -> w00t[10]
Apple Kid: w00t scrapes by to get the win! He wasn't ready for that one. He wanted to talk things out, but that's not the name of the game. Still, he knows how to cut off the artery when hitting that wKo, which makes it very effective, even on big beats like the Last War King.
Makoto Angel: *sigh* I wasn't going to be happy about either outcome, but I think this outcome was the worst.
Larry Grim: w00t is incredibly sharp in the ring. He likes to hide it. Even here he was keeping his skill close to the vest, and looking to screw over Hazen. w00t is now sitting at ten points. Incredible.
Backstage
Tack Angel was watching the w00t match from a monitor, and considered throwing a cup, but instead calmly sipped his drink, and was surprised at how good it was.
Tack Angel: Mmm! That's good cider. Well, I just need to-
Mav Valentine walked up to Tack and slapped the cup out of his hand.
Tack Angel: MY CIDER!
Mav Valentine: Screw your cider, I want you focused, right here, on me.
Tack Angel: Mav, look I-
Mav Valentine: I don't care about your apologies. I don't care who has forgiven you and who hasn't. I'm not just going to forget about what you've done. I'm not going to forget about the trail of bodies you left in your wake! That's all well and good, you were a conqueror, and you conquered. You DON'T just get to walk away from that though.
Tack Angel: ...I'm not trying to walk away from it. I accept your disdain Mav, but that doesn't mean I'm going to roll over and lose Mav. I'm sorry for what happened in the past, but the future involves me winning the E1 Climax...and getting another cup of cider.
Mav Valentine: ...I'll be out there...in the ring...waiting to knock you on your ass.
7. E1 Climax Block A: Subculture[5] vs. Trevor Mach[5]
-Mach and Subculture were up next in a B4B battle to keep in the running for the E1 Finale. They bumped fists, before going all out immediately. Mach was looking to end it early with a Busaiku Knee Kick, and a near fall. Subculture blocked some of it and survived the attack, throwing some big bombs in exchange. They kept on their feet and threw out everything they had. Little Mac was encouraging them both, but suddenly began to cough up blood. Subbie noticed it, but Mach didn't, and it wasn't long before he trapped Subculture in the clinch and threw knees. He put him in a Guillotine Choke, and the ref had to stop the bout as he was about to black out. Mach tried to help Subculture up, but then turn to see Mac coughing up blood. He woke up Subbie before checking on Mac. Subculture got a stern talking to by Mac about letting his guard down, as the B4B team helped him to the back.
Winner: Trevor Mach via Guillotine Choke -> Referee Stoppage -> Trevor Mach[7]
Makoto Angel: Oh no! I hope Little Mac is OK!
Apple Kid: Something appeared to be wrong, and I would normally ask Larry Grim buuut-
Larry Grim: I got nothing. I have no idea. It's nice for me. Probably not for him though. Sorry Mac.
Apple Kid: We just got a glimpse of what these two could do right there. They were striking it out, Mach was going to take Subbie up on his own game there, but the sudden collapse of Mac changed everything. Trevor Mach is still in the game with seven points. Now it's onto the main event, where Tack Angel takes on Mav Valentine. Will the Pushpin Seraphim be able to stave off the fury of Mav Valentine?
Makoto Angel: I sure hope so.
8. E1 Climax Block B: Tack Angel[6] vs. Mav Valentine[3]
-Main event time, as Tack Angel and Television Champion Mav Valentine finally squared off, in a rage filled encounter on Mav's part. Tack wanted to shake hands, but Mav wasn't having it. Mav ran wild on Tack for a long period of time until Tack finally countered a Mav Buster into a head kick. Mav fired back with a big drop kick and a Fireman's Carry Facebuster for a near fall and the fans went nuts. Mav hit the Mav Buster and went for another pin, but Tack miraculously kick out. Mav was shocked and angry, and that allowed Tack to get a pinning combination for a near fall. Mav's anger got the better of him, as he burned out early, and Tack came back hard with the vicious kicks. Mav was worn down enough for Tack to go for the WRIST CLUTCH, but Mav escaped and tried for the Mav Buster. Tack evaded that and countered into the Clutch Winged Angel for the 1-2-3!
Winner: Tack Angel via Clutch Winged Angel -> Pin -> Tack Angel[8]
Makoto Angel: HE DID IT!
Apple Kid: Clutch Winged Angel seals the deal! I don't care how angry and livid Mav Valentine has been, because THAT puts you down every time. Incredible.
Larry Grim: Tack is helping Mav sit in the corner, and trying to extend his hand again. Mav is still looking angry. Tack is grabbing a microphone.
Tack Angel: Mav, I know that's not the result you wanted, but I think it's because of the anger you're holding onto. I told you I wanted to win that match, and I did, but if you still have anger you need to get out then let it out. I'm standing right here. If you need to hit me, just hit me. I can't tell you how much I love you local sports team, like I can with the WONDERFUL people of Reefside, because I don't know where you live. I can tell you that I mean you no ill will, and anything that happened before is in the past, and it can stay there as far as I'm concerned. I'm not the monster you think I am...maybe I was...but I'm not anymore. I can't even look in the mirror most days. I'm not the biggest fan of myself either. So if you want to hit me....then hit me.
Mav Valentine: Yeah...I'm angry alright. I'm angry that I let myself get so overcome with rage that I blew my shot here. I'm blowing this E1. I'm letting down Blood 4 Blood, I'm letting the fans down, and I'm letting myself down. You were a massive prick, but then again I've been there and done that too. I needed a chance to vent my frustrations, and I got it, but I screwed it up....not you. You're a worthy opponent, and a benchmark to overcome. I will beat you in the future, but the next time we fight, you'll have my respect.
Mav fist bumped Tack before rolling out of the ring.
Apple Kid: He subverted the expectations! He didn't let rage lead to a heel turn! Rian Johnson could twist a plot that well.
Makoto Angel: Oh I'm so happy!
Larry Grim: Now that's just a nice and positive way to end the sho-
?
In a dark room, the Stygian Inquisition stood among chains swaying from the ceiling. The Auditor stepped forward.
The Auditor: Oh yes, quite a good showing I must say. We're all quite pleased. The "Angel" gave mercy, and the maverick responded. Interesting to note. I will have to remember that when the time comes, because it will come for everyone at any time. You think because you did not see us, we were not busy? The Nameless, and the Assessor have been VERY busy, and they have brought a new subject before myself and...our associate.
Jason Boomtown: LET ME GO! GET OFF ME!
The Auditor: But...I have so much backed up paperwork, that we decided we needed to put in overtime.
Dirk Laramie: *sigh* I'm glad you're here Jason, cause no one was going to come and save me. I just know it.
The Auditor: We have such sins to document, and the audit will come for you all, because....it is the way of things.

?????? - Sin City, Eagleland
*Tali Mach swirled around the room in a haze. She was loudly celebrating, but in her stupor she could barely remember what she'd been celebrating. She saw a blurry image of Rhea Rampage in front of her as she fell backwards. She hit her head hard on something. The sound of her beer dripping to ground sent a pounding sound to her head as she blacked out.*
The Lobby - Sin City General Hospital
*Trevor Mach sat in the lobby, waiting to hear back from the receptionist regarding the whereabouts of his wife. As he sat, he looked across the lobby to see Robo holding the kids and playing a slot machine.*
Trevor Mach: What the hell? Robo?
Robo: Master Mach! I uh...I'm glad you're here! The darkened sky and rock monsters had me worri-
Trevor Mach: What are you doing?
Robo: Huh?
Trevor Mach: I sent you here to take the kids to Tali, and then I find out she's in a hospital. I don't hear back from you, I have to ASSUME that the kids are fine. Lucca wasn't saying anything, except asking if I needed a "fluffing", and I hope she doesn't mean what I think she means.
Robo: She probably means it sir.
Trevor Mach: I'm gonna need you to run defense on her then. Getting back to what I was saying, I just want to know...actually I want to know why the hospital lobby has a slot machine.
Robo: Every place in Sin City has a slot machine sir. They have a craps table in the cafeteria. You don't want to know what's in the restroom sir.
Trevor Mach: I guess you got to try to pay your medical bills somehow huh. Hey Justice, you OK kiddo?
Justice Mach: I'm OK Daddy. Mr. Robo says he's broken.
Trevor Mach: You're broken?
Robo: No...I'm broke sir. I believe I have developed a gambling addiction. It's quite simple though, I will just delete the subroutine. There, I have taken care of it.
Trevor Mach: ...I wish everything were that easy. Thanks for watching the kids. That was a tricky situation. They could've gotten hurt.
Robo: Glad I could be of service. I believe you're looking for Tali then sir?
Trevor Mach: Yeah, I hear she went through a table and hit her head?
Robo: Well, that caused her to black out, but it's not the reason she's still here. You see...your wife was celebrating and-
Down the Hall - Sin City General Hospital
*Tali was sitting in her hospital bed, with Rhea sitting beside her. She was watching something on television while doing curls with a little hand weight. The new hit conspiracy theory show "Retro Wars" with Retro Jones.*
Retro Jones: What do I do Lord?! "DESTROY THE CHILD! CORRUPT THEM ALL!" *THIS IS THE PLAN PEOPLE! Moving on, I want to talk about the 5G network! We all black out, and forget about an entire week and they don't expect me to question it?! It's mind control waves inside of the 5G Network! What happened? Basically space aliens! I'd say they want to turn the children gay, but teachers and trannies are doing that on their own! I'M TELLING YOU THE SKY TURNED BLACK PEOPLE! TED NELSON ATE SOMEONE! YES! THE TED NELSON! AAAHHHH! I HATE IT! YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE SYSTEM PEOPLE! LIVE A CLEAN LIFE AND FIGHT THE SYSTEM!
*The loud screaming from the television woke up Tali, who looked over to see Rhea.*
Tali Mach: H..huh? Wha..whAAAH!
Rhea Rampage: AAAH!
Tali Mach: What the fuck?!
Rhea Rampage: What?!
Tali Mach: Where am I? What am I doing here? What are YOU doing here? I didn't know you cared that much.
Rhea Rampage: I couldn't remember the password to our streaming services! I was going to ask when you woke up...and that was days ago!
Tali Mach: ...You haven't done anything to me while I was asleep right?
Rhea Rampage: What? No! Well, I mean I did put shaving cream in your hand and tickle your face with a feather. You looked like you just got done blowing something if you catch my drift.
Tali Mach: ...At least tell me you took a picture.
Rhea Rampage: Oh yeah, I got it right here.
Tali Mach: Lemme see. HA! You're right! It does look like that! Pranks are fun...such fun...pranking you back with be funner.
Rhea Rampage: Huh?
Tali Mach: Huh? You heard me! Still, it's funny. Reminds me of something Trevor used to do a lot. He'd start by saying he wanted to cream pie me and-
Rhea Rampage: I don't need to hear this...or maybe I do....go on.
Tali Mach: Well, I'd think what you were thinking, but you have to remember this man is a clown, so he'd pull out a cream pie and hit me in the face with it. I tried to be upset, but it was funny, and the pie was actually really good.
Rhea Rampage: ...That's cringe.
Tali Mach: Did I mention he's a clown? A vicious wolf with a clown nose, now how do you figure out a guy like that?
Rhea Rampage: Oh, he's simple. He just loves you. I'm still trying to figure out the secret to that...for curiosity's sake.
Tali Mach: I wonder where he's at right now. Probably busy with something Tack and his large, stupid family are up to.
Rhea Rampage: About that....they're gone.
Tali Mach: Gone? What do you mean gone?
Rhea Rampage: As in that crystal place is completely gone, and so is that whole family.
Tali Mach: They're gone? Ha...HA...HAHAHAHA! Wait, how long was I out for? It doesn't matter! All that matters is that Tack is gone, and I don't have to see him again!
Rhea Rampage: Actually, Tack is still there, and last I heard, he was at the farm.
Tali Mach: ...My farm?
Rhea Rampage: ...Your farm.
Tali Mach: Uh-huh...I'm going to back to the question of how long was I out?
Rhea Rampage: A week.
Tali Mack: A WEEK?! What the hell did I miss in a week?!
Rhea Rampage: It was a very eventful week.
Tali Mach: So Tack is still around, but his wives are not?
Rhea Rampage: He's got one wife left.
Tali Mach: ....Tracy?
Rhea Rampage: Nope. It's Makoto Angel.
Tali Mach: HAHA! Tracy is gone?! Hilarious!
Rhea Rampage: Nope. Tracy is still here. She's been talking mad shit too.
Tali Mach: But Tack has one wife left you said.
Rhea Rampage: That is true. Tracy got a divorce from him.
Tali Mach: In a week's time?
Rhea Rampage: Yeah.
Tali Mach: Tracy still the champ?
Rhea Rampage: Oh yeah, and she's solidified her spot even more.
Tali Mach: More than being married to Tack? How?
Rhea Rampage: She's fucking w00t.
Tali Mach: ...w00t. w00t w00t...as in the guy that used to wear the pointy hat, thought he was good at trivia, was trapped in a Tanooki Suit, was once EBW President until it was revealed he'd been replaced by a robot, and spent several months in the tropics, until he came back and decided to be an eternal pain in the ass to the Machs. THAT w00t?!
Rhea Rampage: Damn, you DO know your history, and yes, it's that w00t.
Tali Mach: Fuck-a-dilly, what a week!
Rhea Rampage: Right? w00t apparently eats ass too.
Tali Mach: I didn't need to know that part.
Rhea Rampage: Oh and Ted Nelson is dead.
Tali Mach: WHAT?! THE TED NELSON!?
Rhea Rampage: Oh yeah. Rumor has it he bit someone's face off before he died in a fit of madness.
Tali Mach: Well...we've all been there before am I right? Anything else?
?: Yes, I've got something to say on the subject.
*A "doctor" walked into the room, covering his face with a clipboard, and trying to mask his voice.*
"Doctor": Your chart here says that you suffered severe alcohol poisoning. Looks like you over did it in your celebrating Lady.
Tali Mach: Only one person calls me Lady.
"Doctor": Everything seems good though. No broken bones, and it's a good thing, because I love every bone in your body. My favorite bone in your body is mine, but we'll get to that later.
Rhea Rampage: What kind of Doctor is this?
Tali Mach: Let him finish his shtick.
"Doctor": You're going to be good to go, but I would really prefer to give you a full body check up before releasing you.
Tali Mach: Haha Trevor.
Rhea Rampage: Trevor?
*The "Doctor" pulled down the clipboard, revealing it was Trevor with a clown nose on.*
Trevor Mach: *honk honk*
Tali Mach: You see? That's a clown. I'm married to a clown.
Rhea Rampage: Don't clowns scare you?
Tali Mach: How do you know that?
Rhea Rampage: It was on your twitter bio.
Tali Mach: I have a twitter bio? How much did I drink?
Trevor Mach: Too much! I have to congratulate my hot wife and her....friend...on winning the tag belts, but ease up on washing down your victory with a tall glass of rocket fuel eh?
Tali Mach: Oh don't worry, that won't happen again.
Trevor Mach: ...You want another drink right now don't you?
Tali Mach: Absolutely.
Trevor Mach: No, it's Absolut Vodka, and you put me to shame with how many bottles you pounded down. That had to be expensive.
Tali Mach: To be fair, I used money I bet on us to win. That paid for the drinks...and possibly the damage to the bar. I don't know yet, but I'm going to assume. Don't worry, I'm not breaking the bank in Sin City. That's why I'm in the General Hospital, and not the High Roller Hospital. We gots kids to feed dammit!
Trevor Mach: And a crippling drinking problem?
Tali Mach: It's only crippling when I can't feel my legs and have to be detoxed for a week. I can feel my legs right now though, and I'll show you what I can do with them if you drop this conversation. Eh? Eh? Eh? Look...I'm bendy.
Rhea Rampage: Just pretend I'm not here.
Tali Mach: *whispers* I might need you to tag in. I actually still feel very rubbery. Shhh.
Trevor Mach: *sigh* That's enough of that. We're not playing that game anymore Talicious. I'm just worried about you. You don't need to tempt me with your hot legs. I just needed to know that you were all right, and I wanted to tell you how much I love you. I felt...very lost in a situation recently, but thinking about you helped me make it happen.
Tali Mach: Don't get all mushy, cause then I get tingly and-
*Trevor then pulled the creampie out from behind his back and pied her in the face.*
Tali Mach: ...I got to admit I wasn't expecting that.
Trevor Mach: Knock off the heavy drinking lady, or you're going to wake up with me in FULL CLOWN MAKE UP!
Tali Mach: SHIT!
Trevor Mach: That's right! I'm gonna go check on the kids, but I can't stick around. The E1 is starting. I just couldn't get to it without seeing all of you.
Rhea Rampage: Even me?
Trevor Mach: ...No....not you. Buh-bye!
Tali Mach: ...
Rhea Rampage: He's crazy!
Tali Mach: Crazy about his family. Crazy about me.
Rhea Rampage: You crazy about him too?
Tali Mach: He just pied me in the face, and I kind of liked it. What do you think? Also the E1?! I missed so much!
*As Trevor walked out of the room, he stopped and thought to himself.*
Trevor Mach: Hmmm, this might require a little mid-level meddling. *grabs cell phone* Hello? Hey, long time no see brosef. Listen, you're in Sin City right? I was hoping you might help me out with something?
Outside Main Entrance - Sin City General Hospital
*Tali and Rhea left the hospital. Tali looked pale and unhappy.*
Rhea Rampage: Good news, you don't have to eat any more of that hospital jello.
Tali Mach: ...The jello was the only good part of the stay.
Rhea Rampage: I was there with you.
Tali Mach: ...The jello was the only good part of the stay.
Rhea Rampage: Gee thanks.
Tali Mach: You weren't any help! You were supposed to bring me something to drink!
Rhea Rampage: Umm...I wasn't allowed.
Tali Mach: What do you mean you weren't allowed? Screw the rules! Since when do you care what you're allowed to do?
Rhea Rampage: When HE tells me what to do.
Tali Mach: Who?
*Tali looked over to see a "Retro Wars" van on the side of the road, and out of the van stormed Retro Jones.*
Tali Mach: Retro Hippie?
Retro Jones: THAT'S RETRO JONES MISSY! YOU AND I ARE GONNA HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION HERE!
Tali Mach: Could we not?
Retro Jones: I OWE YOUR HUSBAND A LOT, AND HE ASKED ME TO BE YOUR ACCOUNTABILABUDDY! I'M GONNA GET YOU CLEAN AND SOBER GIRL!
Tali Mach: ...You're joking.
Retro Jones: NO JOKES TALI! YOU'VE BEEN A BAD GIRL, AND IT'S TIME TO STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT!
Tali Mach: ...I could kill you, you know.
Retro Jones: OH YEAH?! TRY IT! CAUSE I'M A FORCE OF NATURE WITH THE INTENSIFYING POWER OF MY MULTIPLE VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS! I'M A POWERFUL FORCE, AND I'M COMING!
Tali Mach: OK FINE! STOP YELLING!
Retro Jones: That's what I want to hear girl. You're a wife, a mother, a fighter, and a champion, and you too....will be coming!
Tali Mach: Not with you asshole!
Rhea Rampage: That's not what he meant. Right? That's not what you meant?

The Mach Farm - Smalltown, Eagleland
*Tali Mach tossed and turned in bed. Sweating was dripping from her face as she sat up from another nightmare. She quickly opened the draw beside the bed, looking for her flask, but instead got her finger stuck in a mouse trap with a picture of a stern looking Retro Jones waving his finger at her.*
Tali Mach: OW! DAMMIT! DAMN YOU RETRO JONES!
*Tali grabbed the remote, and planned to turn it to ENN to find out how Trevor was doing in the E1, when she saw a press conference being held by Mr. Pirkle on ENT.*
Mr. Pirkle: Yes, it's unfortunate that I haven't had ALL my champions on hand to push our next big event, but I do have one that I can rely on in Tracy right here.
Tracy: Tali Mach is a hopeless drunk, plain and simple, and Rhea Rampage claims to be her frenemy, but she's more like her bitch to me.
Mr. Pirkle: I originally worked hard to bring Tali into MCW, because I believed that she was best for business. Demand was still there, but the supply was lacking as it turns out. I used her to get eyes on the product, but now I have a roster I can rely on, with a Champion that I can rely on. That's all I really want to say on the subject. I want to move on to more important things like MCW: Beach Party! We're going to Summers for the event, bringing wrestling back to the people who desperately want it to close out the Summer! I'm very excited for what we have to offer. We'll have more information coming soon, but rest assured it'll be a night to remember, and you can take that to the bank.
*Tali shut off the TV and stared into the blank screen.*
Tali Mach: I'm going to take you to the bank Pirkle....the blood bank.

Ms. Xtra: HEEEY! HOOO! HEEEY! HOOO! HEEEEEY! N-nooo? Well it was worth a shot. WELCOME TO XTRA, where I'm still trying to figure out my catchphrase. I'd ask Dan, cause he seems like he's got a lot of 'em, but they'd all be card related. I'm joined by Bashin Dan again this time and LOOK, he's got the eye patch off!
Bashin Dan: It's all a little foggy, but I can see much better now. It's such a relief. I was walking into things, and sometimes I'd forget about a Battle Spirits card I saw beside me, and it was just a disaster.
Ms. Xtra: ...I'm sure it was. We wanted you hear for two reasons. Let's start with the personally important one. The E1 Climax. Last year you won the whole thing! Looking to make it a repeat? Want to be the second Mr. E1? What am I saying, of course you do! It's not like you'd join in a tournament NOT to win.
Bashin Dan: I try to win at everything I do, it's that competitive nature in me, but it comes from a good place. I want to better myself, and test what I've learned about my rivals. The E1 has been the ultimate test of that. People expect me to say I have to win, but I just have to compete. The winning is the bonus for the hard work.
Ms. Xtra: What a way to take something gripping and make it seem kind of lame.
Bashin Dan: Huh?
Ms. Xtra: Not in a bad way mind you! More like...a bobsled team overcoming the odds in a Dibney movie kind of way.
Bashin Dan: Oh I like that movie!
Ms. Xtra: Of course you do! Who wouldn't?
Bashin Dan: Benjamin maybe, but that's only because movies still weird him out. At this point I don't think it's about adapting. I think he's just gonna be....like he is?
Ms. Xtra: Well we in EBW love him for it! We love the Dan Club in fact! I'm not saying that I would be a participant in a Dan Club..."meet and greet" if you catch my drift-
Bashin Dan: I do not.
Ms. Xtra: But I know people who WOULD be into that...so just let me know if you need a hook up.
Bashin Dan: I'm so confused.
Ms. Xtra: Of course you are. You're the innocent one. Benjamin is the confused one. Jammer is the belligerent one. Vape is...well he's Vape. He noticed my obvious g-string here, but he had to point it out and ask if he could "floss with it".
Bashin Dan: I am so sorry. He's a character.
Ms. Xtra: If you can convince yourself that it's flattering it helps. He called himself Big Daddy V too, and I just don't think that sounds right on him. He's not the big Daddy I want punishing me anyways. Hehe.
Bashin Dan: What?
Ms. Xtra: I keep forgetting who I'm talking to! Sorry, I drink a LOT of Vape Energy Drinks before every show.
Bashin Dan: You actually drink those?
Ms. Xtra: Huh?
Bashin Dan: I wouldn't.
Ms. Xtra: Oh no.
Bashin Dan: What was the next question?
Ms. Xtra: Oh right! I wanted to ask you about Seto Kaiba!
Bashin Dan: Kaiba...I've heard of him. He's the heir apparent to Kaiba Corp, and he sees himself as a card game prodigy. That WOULD be exciting, but he used the fabled Exodia cards to throw off my new friend Jaden Yuki...and I don't like that sort of thing. Also, Battle Spirits is SUPERIOR in every way to Duel Monsters. I just really need to put that out there.
Ms. Xtra: What about BeyBlade?
Bashin Dan: That's a VERY different game.
Ms. Xtra: You seem knowledgable.
Bashin Dan: I've witnessed the power of their games, but they don't know anything about mine yet. Heh, I've been holding back. Heh.
Ms. Xtra: Heh?
Bashin Dan: ...That's about as bad guy as I'm ever going to go Ms. Xtra, and that's when we get personal about our games. They all claim to be the King of Games, but I'm the TRUE Heart of the Cards.
Ms. Xtra: We're getting off track. So you're PRO-Jaden Yuki and ANTI-Seto Kaiba?
Bashin Dan: Uh....yes.
Ms. Xtra: Alright great, we got somewhere! Let's take it to some action shall we? We've got Gianna Rambaldi taking on Rei Hino, and a lot of people are still wondering if Gianna truly stands alone in the constant civil war that is the Women's Division.
Bashin Dan: ...I personally hope she makes a lot of friends.
Ms. Xtra: Aw, that's nice.
XTRA EXCLUSIVE MATCH!
1. Xtra Women's Singles: Gianna Rambaldi vs. Rei Hino
-Rei Hino seemed a little lost out in the mix with Gianna Rambaldi. Things haven't been the same since Crystal Heaven disappeared, and Usagi Tsukino left the country of vacation with Seiya. All this is coming from Makoto, as she's pushing me out of the way of the keyboard and trying add in her own things. SHE'S TRYING SO HARD! STOP IT! Gianna won with the Violet Grace, to pick up another win in the early stages of her EBW career.
Winner: Gianna Rambaldi via Violet Grace(Death Valley Bomb) -> Pin
-
Ms. Xtra: Gianna Rambaldi won one of the first Xtra exclusive match. Way to break down barriers! What barriers? The barriers that are put up whenever someone who hasn't done something does something. Those kinds of barriers. We love seeing barriers broken right? What about like...the barrier that says we shouldn't groom children sexually. We going to celebrate those barriers being broken? No? I didn't think so. Sorry, that's off topic, I was just having bad memories of my auditions for a Dan Schneider project. It's not what you think...he just...wanted me to step in eggs barefoot. *shudders*
Bashin Dan: ...
Ms. Xtra: Oh Dan, you're still here! That's great, because we have footage you might be interested in.
Bashin Dan: Oh yeah?
Ms. Xtra: Yeah! Just remember this is a late night program.
Bashin Dan: Oh no.
Ms. Xtra: Vape is apparently not just a member of Dan Club again, but is also trying to rally together another kind of group altogether. Let's take a look!
Bashin Dan: Do we have to?
Ms. Xtra: YES WE DO!

Reefside Beach Resort - Backstage
Jammer was looking for Jenny James, when happened to hear Vape trying to calm down a group in a side room. He peaked inside to see him at a podium, in a room that also housed DVNO B-Team, Chuck Rand, Pucky, Mr. Herb, El Mago, and Senor Box.
Jammer: What in the world is this?
Vape: Order! Order everyone! Let's get this underway, it's the first ever meeting of the M.I.L.F Club! Now this isn't like a stable or anything. This is just a club for us to talk about the subject matter, if you get what I'm saying.
Pucky: I wish you'd disappear into fat air! Go fuck yourself!
Vape: Right...glad to see Pucky is here. Um...hey DVNO B-Team. No offense, but I wasn't expecting you guys.
CP Munk: This is very important to me...the subject matter.
Horace Angel: Personally I think it's hella cringe, Fr Fr, but I'm hiding in here away from Hazen. That guy beat us up!
Cadmus: Tony got the worst of it. I haven't see him since he went over to try and ask El Mago about something. El Mago, do you know where Tony went?
El Mago: ...
El Mago: ...Él estará de vuelta
Cadmus: Oh...anyone get that?
Vape: The M.I.L.F Club is here for one reason, and one reason only, so let's just get right into i-
Jammer: Hey! What the hell Vape? M.I.L.F Club? Really?
Vape: Oh hey Jammer! You want to join the M.I.L.F Club? We're about to get right into it if you catch my drift!
Jammer: What?! No! I'm with Jenny! I have no interest in your M.I.L.F Club...even IF...I'm slightly obsessed with the sexy ladies of Golden Girls.
Vape: What does that have to do with anything?
Jammer: Huh? M.I.L.F Club? Moms I'd Like to F-
Vape: What?! No, it's the Man I Love Fun Club!
Jammer: ...OH!
Pucky: WHAT THE FUCK?! I THINK WE'D BE BAGGING MOMS! WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT! I'M OUT OF HERE! GIVE YOUR BALLS A TUG YOU TITFUCKER!
Jammer: I should have seen this coming. So what are we doing that's fun?
Vape: Tokusatsu watch-a-thon!
Jammer: Huh.
Tack Angel quickly ran into the room breathing heavily and sweating.
Tack Angel: I just heard someone yell out tit....doer...and I really need to talk to them. Were they in here?
Vape: No, but our special viewing guest IS. Gentlemen, and no ladies at all, it's TESS!
Tess: ....
Tack Angel: AAAAAHHHH!
Jammer: I thought you said this WASN'T a M.I.L.F Club!

Ninten: Hello! Ninten here, and I'm not currently being held by Psi Corp. I came here of my own volition because I wanted to, and not to buy time for Ana to escape Bester. I still have a job to do though, and I'm here to show you the card for the next E1 Climax show. With matches like Zyro-K vs. Benji, Bashin Dan vs. w00t, and Kinniku Mike vs. Trevor Mach, we could see a few upsets, surprises, and game changers. *sigh* Did you know Lucas is here too? That's great right? Lucas everyone. Lucas.

XTRA EXCLUSIVE MATCH!
2. Xtra 6-Woman Tag: Hope Mach/Lainey Strong/Wendy Mustang vs. Erica/Darkness Aoi/Mitra Lennox
-A grueling 6-Woman war, saw the champions of the division take on their E1 Finale opponents ahead of their scheduled title matches in THE DOME! The ladies were rested up thanks to the E1 Climax, and that allowed them to go all out, looking to damage their opponents ahead of said matches. Erica taunted Hope at every turn, calling her a shadow of Christina Angel, and laughing every time she tried getting her into the ring. The finish would come from the Tag Team Champions though, as Wendy Mustang managed to clobberd Mitra with the Slingshot flipping Lariat. Erica could have broken up the pin, but was backed off by Hope as Penguin counted the 1-2-3.
Winners: Hope Mach/Lainey Strong/Wendy Mustang[o] via Slingshot flipping Lariat on Mitra Lennox -> Pin
-
Ms. Xtra: Well that was a great show tonight folks, but we've got one more surprise in Magum PT, and he's got a big announcement to make.
Magnum PT: I have a big announcement for sure little Chieftess. I'm announcing here and now that if I lose another E1 Climax match in this tournament, that I'm going to. SHAVE! MY!
Tack Angel: *heavy panting*
Magnum PT: CHEST HAIR!

One Eyed Jack's - Sin City, Eagleland
*At the world's most famous watering hole, One Eyed Jack's in Sin City, the world's most famous bartender, the one and only Jackie, was busy trying to serve his favorite frequent customer, Tali Mach. It has barely been a week or two at most since Tali last had something alcoholic to drink and it looked like she was about to fall off the sober wagon, yet again. Jackie now pours Tali her shot of extra strong tequila and tells her.....*
Jackie: Here you are, amiga.
*Tali now picks up the shot and glass and tells Jackie....*
Tali Mach: Muchos Gracias. Oh and Jackie?
Jackie: Si, senorita?
Tali Mach: You can just leave that bottle too.
Jackie: Alrighty then, have it your way.
*Jackie now puts the bottle on the table, and Tali gives him an approving wink. Tali, then pauses for a minute to reflect on her choices. She now looks at the shot and then the bottle on the bar counter in front out her. She says to herself out loud.....*
Tali Mach: Couldn't even make it TWO WEEKS sober could you, Tali? *sighs*
*Tali thinks to herself for moment while staring at the shot. She says to herself out loud....*
Tali: Just admit it now, you really can't control yourself, can you?
*Tali now just nods her head in defeat as she says to herself....*
Tali Mach: Guess the truth does hurt, doesn't it? *sighs*
*Tali now just shrugs her shoulders and says out loud.....*
Tali Mach: Oh well. Fuck it.
*Tali now goes to drink the shot, when a voice suddenly yells out at her from a distance.....*
Voice: STOP!
*Tali now stops from drinking the shot. She now puts the show on the table as the person walks up to her at the bar and it is revealed to be....*
Tali Mach: RHEA RAMPAGE!
*Rhea Rampage now tells Tali Mach.....*
Rhea Rampage: THAT'S ME!
Tali Mach: And you are ruining my good time!
Rhea Rampage: Does that good time involved getting drunk?
Tali Mach: Maybe.
Rhea Rampage: Well then......GOOD!
Tali Mach: ......
Rhea Rampage: I AM GLAD I STOPPED YOU THEN!
Tali Mach: Party pooper.
Rhea Rampage: The only party pooper around her is gonna you, if you end up in the hospital again.
Tali Mach: Relax, I wasn't gonna get THAT drunk.
Rhea Rampage: Somehow I seriously doubt that. You have no self control, Tali Mach.
Tali Mach: I have plenty of self control, I just choose to ignore most of the time.
Rhea Rampage: Ignorance is not the answer to the problem, Tali.
Tali Mach: That is true. But there is one thing that ignorance is, Rhea.
Rhea Rampage: And what is that?
Tali Mach: Ignorance is BLISS.
Rhea Rampage: Oh, give me a break.
*Tali now picks the shot back up off the bar and tells the disgusted Rhea Rampage....*
Tali Mach: Cheers!
*Tali now goes to drink the shot, but Rhea now tries to stop her. But now begin to wrestle at the bar counter for it. The now worried and frightened Jackie now yells out....*
Jackie: OH MIOS DIO!
*Suddenly the door to the bar bursts open and a loud booming roar interrupts and startles both ladies....*
Retro Jones: ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!
Tali Mach and Rhea Rampage: AHHHHHHHHHH!
Retro Jones: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, TALI MACH! PUT THE SHOT DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE BAR!
*Tali Mach and Rhea Rampage just look at each other and nod their heads in agreement. Tali now puts the shot on the counter and both stay away from bar.*
Retro Jones: VERY GOOD! JUST AS I SUSPECTED! YOU ARE NOT AS WEAK AS YOU THINK YOU ARE, TALI MACH!
Tali Mach: But you are just as LOUD as you think you are, Retro.
Rhea Rampage: Loud AND annoying.
Retro Jones: WHAT WAS THAT?! SPEAK UP, WEAKLING!
Rhea Rampage: *sighs* It was nothing. Nothing at all.
Retro Jones: THAT'S RIGHT! IT WAS NOTHING! JUST LIKE YOU!
Rhea Rampage: HEY!
Retro Jones: ON THE INSIDE THAT IS! UNLESS YOU TRY MY ALL NEW VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS!
Rhea Rampage: Aren't those for men?
Retro Jones: NOT ANYMORE, WEAKLING! CAUSE I AM EXPANDED THE MARKET. CAUSE DIVERSITY EQUALS MONEY! NOW WOMEN BE TWICE AS STRONG!
Rhea Rampage: And you can just be twice as RICH!
Retro Jones: EXACTLY!
Rhea Rampage: That is such a scam and nobody can be that stupid. *sighs* Sign me up!
Retro Jones: NOW THAT'S THE SPIRIT! LET'S PUMP YOU UP! YEAH!
Tali Mach: *whispers* In more ways that one, Rhea. *winks*
Rhea Rampage: *rolls eyes* Shut up.
Retro Jones: AS FOR YOU TALI! YOU WILL NOT BECOME WEAK AND FALL OFF THE WAGON AGAIN! NOT WHILE I AM AROUND! YOU HEAR ME!
Tali Mach: I hear you, good lord man. And I bet you are yelling so loud, EVERYBODY in Sin City can too.
Retro Jones: GOOD! THE MESSAGE MUST BE HEARD! IT MUST SPREAD! IT MUST GROW! IT MUST CONSUME!
Tali Mach: Riiiiiiiight. Well good luck with that, Retro. Me and Rhea gotta go now.
Rhea Rampage: Yeah, lots of stuff to do.
*Before Tali and Rhea can leave, the door to bar bursts open again and in walks......*
*Rayne and Ariel, Bad Vibrations. Rayne now immediately tells both Tali and Rhea....*
Rayne: COWARDS!
Rhea Rampage: BITCHES!
Rayne: STOP RIGHT THERE!
Tali Mach: Oh fuck no.
Rayne: Going somewhere, Real Rush?
Tali Mach: As a matter of fact, we were just leaving.
Rayne: COWARDS!
Rhea Rampage: BITCHES!
Rayne: SHUT UP! We want our rematch for those MCW Tag Team Titles.
Tali Mach: Get in line like everybody else.
Rayne: COWARDS!
Rhea Rampage: BITCHES!
Rayne: STOP THAT!
Retro Jones: WE WILL NEVER STOP! YOU HEAR ME, SCUM!
Rayne: What.....the.....fuck?
Retro Jones: WE WILL FIGHT YOU, SCUM! YOU HEAR ME! IN STREETS! ON THE BEACH! IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Rayne: Right. Thanks.
Retro Jones: DON'T THANK US, SCUM! FEAR US! CAUSE WE ARE COMING FOR YOU! AND WE ARE COMING FOR BLOOD! SO GET YOUR ASSES READY FOR THE BEATING OF YOUR LIVES! NOW RUN AWAY, SCUM! WHILE YOU STILL CAN! ROOOOOOOOOOOOAR!
*Retro Jones now rips off his t-shirt Hulk Hogan style and chases both Rayne and Ariel, sending them screaming out of the bar at high speed. Tali Mach and Rhea Rampage now just look at each other and smile. Tali now tells Rhea.....*
Tali Mach: Hey Rhea?
Rhea Rampage: Yes, Tali?
Tali Mach: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Rhea Rampage: *Nods in agreement* I am.
Tali Mach: Good, cause I think Real Rush just found their brand new manager.
Rhea Rampage: This is gonna be so much fun.
*The cameras now fades out to a close from there*

Snow Wood Boarding School Gymnasium - Locker Room
A much more compact building in terms of the changing rooms, several of the wrestlers found themselves in tight quarters. This would have been fine if Trevor Mach and Tack Angel didn't walk into each other.
Tack Angel: Oh! Trevor.
Trevor Mach: Tack.
Tack Angel: Excuse me. Guess they're doing renovations or something?
Trevor Mach: No, that jackass Vape was caught lurking in places we weren't supposed to go, forgetting that this is an all boys school. That means we're only allowed in the Gym part of the school now.
Tack Angel: Oh...great.
Trevor Mach: Right.
Tack Angel: Look, I was thinking you and I should have a talk about-
Trevor Mach: We've covered it enough don't you think?
Tack Angel: ...I guess?
Trevor Mach: Right. Excuse me. I have to get warmed up.
Tack Angel: Sure.
w00t: *clap clap clap* That was a wonderful performance. I mean, you were trying out for the school play right? Two best buddies turned to the most hateful rivals, and now...you don't even what's what anymore do you? Oh, I love to see it.
Tack Angel: You.
w00t: Hey, we gotta work with what we've got right fellas? This is just like old times at Polestar right? Except, neither of you remember that.
Trevor Mach: I remember a little. I certainly don't remember you putting a bounty on my head at the time. A bounty that has YET to be claim big shoots.
Tack Angel: I don't remember you stealing the loves of my life either.
w00t: I don't expect you to remember anything Tack. You barely remember the last two years, when you were the closest to real greatness that you'll ever be. You had it all. You had a kingdom, subjects, wives, and even slaves!
Tack Angel: Please don't remind me of that last one, and I can't see myself loving more than one woman at once. I mean, maybe in my darkest desires, and maybe that's what Darkness latched onto. That being said, if I said I loved them, then I loved them with all of my heart, and they made a huge sacrifice...except for one.
w00t: And now she's in my bed, telling me how much better I am than you every time I "part her petals" I think she said you liked to say. That's ridiculous Tack.
Tack Angel: Hey!
Trevor Mach: It's the most cringe and most glorious way of putting that at the same time. You have to admit it Tack.
Tack Angel: Well maybe, but still, he stole her!
w00t: I stole nothing! You let me in, and then she let me in...in multiple ways that you weren't willing to do by the by. She made her own choice.
Trevor Mach: You still took another man's wife, and I don't care if I liked them or not, that's a dick move.
Kinniku Mike: It was a dick move! He was thinking with his dick, and his dick appreciated it! Haha! Uuuuu!
Trevor Mach: The titty master arrives. Glad you're such an idiot that you trust w00t even after what he did to Tack here.
Kinniku Mike: We have the same goals. I'm not getting his way, and he's not getting in mine. I'll be getting in your way though you little punk bitch! I'm so tired of you, and your desire to be at the top. You claim to be at you peak, and better than ever, but in case you haven't noticed, I'm in the shape of my life! Remember in Edo? The Clash at Demonhead? I was heading up Typhoon, and you were continuing your quest to "make wrestling great again" by burning down half of Edo with a war. I think about that a lot. I think about where I was then, and where I am now. I have a kid too. We're both fathers now. We both know how kids can change a man, and they need heroes to look up to. They need role models. I'm not just going to beat you to collect the bounty. I'm going to beat you, to inspire my son to pick himself up, and shake off the sting of E1 defeat. Also...you talk about trust, but look at you and Tack here. The best of friends, and now you can barely even look at him.
Trevor Mach: Newsflash big shoots, but I don't really look at anyone anymore. If I do, it'll look like I'm looking off to the side anyways! But yeah...I remember who I was back then too Mike. I know who I am now. The difference IS fatherhood...but also pain. Pain changes people. It makes them trust less, overthink more, and shut people out. Maybe that's a problem I have to work though, but that's my problem. Your problem...is me, because I'm going to break your teeth tonight. That shit eating grin is really starting to piss me off.
w00t: What about you Tack? Got something to say? Got some come back about how you're the King, and we need to bow before you? Wait, you don't do that anymore. You're just a pauper now. Back down with the peasants. You failed.
Tack Angel: I didn't fail. I did what needed to be done, and I did it with love. With you...I'm going to use fear. I want you to fear what happens to you when I get my hands on you. You escaped once, but I'm stubborn. I'm persistent. I don't give up. Fear can last longer than love, and it's going to follow you until you get what's coming to you, and I do believe that is something you've brought on yourself.
Kinniku Mike: Here I am thinking that we've got a standoff on our hands. I mean...why wait until later?
Trevor Mach: ...Say when.
The four men stood facing off, all ready to jump at any instant, but suddenly the tension was cut as Mav Valentine ran into the locker room.
Mav Valentine: Yo Trev! We got a problem!
Trevor Mach: What is it? I'm in the middle of something here.
Mav Valentine: Picky! They took Picky!
Trevor Mach: The Stygian Inquisition?
Mav Valentin: Yeah.
Trevor Mach: Dammit! This'll have to wait.
Tack Angel: Let me come with you.
Trevor Mach: What?
Tack Angel: You helped me...let me help you.
Trevor Mach: ...You're not helping me...you're helping Picky. Let's go.
w00t and Mike stood in silence, not wanting any part of what The Auditor was up to. As they were about to walk off, a loud thud was heard from one of the lockers. Suddenly, it burst open and Tony Wonder emerged.
Tony Wonder: TA-DA! T-Tony....W-wonder. That was MUCH easier than being birthed again! Ugh!

Apple Kid: Well, we went from the hottest E1 show to the coldest! I mean literally, because we're in Winters for XP! It's FREEZING HERE!
Larry Grim: My bones are literally rattling.
Makoto Angel: That's what that sound is!
Apple Kid: The E1 Climax is wrapping up soon, and the card for the Dome is STARTING to come into focus. We're lucky that people are excited, cause those tickets are FLYING and we haven't even announced a card.
Makoto Angel: We know that Hope Mach will be taking on Erica, and people are excited to see that match up for sure.
Apple Kid: That's very true. It'll heat up the ring. We'll be aflame with excitement. We want more than just a warm up. Warm thoughts. Warm thoughts. Warm thoughts.
Makoto Angel: Rei? Could you come here please?
Rei Hino: Yeah Makoto, what's up?
Makoto Angel: Could you light a fire beside Apple Kid? He's freezing.
Rei Hino: Wouldn't that be a fire hazard?
Makoto Angel: Oh, I guess so.
Apple Kid: You're uh...warming me up in other ways.
Rei Hino: Oh, I'm sorry I was touching you wasn't I. Please forgive me.
Apple Kid: Oh it's quite all right! I just...want to fall asleep on your lap now.
Rei Hino: Hmm?
Apple Kid: Nothing. Don't worry about it. I'm a professional! The Kid part of my name doesn't not denote my experience, and the Apple part is...well look at me.
Minako Aino: I don't know, I kind of like apples! Sure some are bitter, but some are sweet too!
Apple Kid: Oh! Uh...well heh...I sure try to be sweet.
Minako Aino: It IS cold in here though. Aren't you cold Ami?
Ami Mizuno: I don't get cold. *beep*
Minako Aino: What was that?
Ami Mizuno: Huh? Probably my phone.
Larry Grim: Should Apple and I make room?
Makoto Angel: Oh no, my friends just have front row seats tonight. After recent events, it's just time to catch up.
Apple Kid: Wonderful! Well then, I hope Minako sits behind me! Hehe! Wait...I'm hearing that something is going down backstage. Let's take a look!
Backstage
Trevor Mach, Mav Valentine, Tack Angel, and Subculture ran up to EMTs who were looking at a bloody and pale Picky Minch. Not too far off from them where Johnny Boomtown, who at least had color back in his face, and a weary Dirk Laramie.
Trevor Mach: Oh damn. Pick Man, are you OK? Picky?
Mav Valentine: Those Stygian assholes did this.
Tack Angel: Picking up the pace considering they had Boomtown and Laramie already.
Trevor Mach: This is a receipt. This was just for me.
Tack Angel: For us...cause they didn't get to finish the "job" with me.
Trevor Mach: Son of a bitch.
EBW XP "E1 Climax 2022"
Snow Wood Boarding School Gymnasium, Winters
ENN
1. E1 Climax Block B: Hazen[8] vs. Mav Valentine[3]
-Mav Valentine was back to World Champion caliber since letting off his steam in the match with Tack Angel. He lost, but it brought him clarity, and he was able to chip away at the raging bull that is the Last War King Hazen. The Stygian Inquisition sitting in the crowd kepy him on his toes, but he managed to keep enough focus on the match to avoid Hazen taking his head off with a big boot. He blocked a Wrist Cluch attempt, and reversed attempted by Hazen to trap the big man in a Mav Buster. The runaway train of Hazen's E1 run was halted with a 1-2-3 pinfall.
Winner: Mav Valentine via Mav Buster -> Pin -> Mav Valentine[5]
Apple Kid: *looks back to Minako*
Larry Grim: *clears throat*
Apple Kid: Oh! Uh...that was a surprising win there I think! Mav Valentine is our current TV champ, but Hazen has only lost one match in this E1. He's been on an absolute rampage. Blood 4 Blood are really keeping things interesting in this E1 Climax.
Backstage
Subculture was talking to Christina, when he finally caught sight of Little Mac, taking some pills and washing them down with his flask. Subbie kissed his wife on the cheek and ran after him.
Subculture: Mac! Mac!
Little Mac: Oh there you are. Sorry I'm late. It wasn't easy to get here.
Subculture: I'm not worried about you being late, but I am worried about you. You're sick.
Little Mac: I've been known to be depraved in the ring, but that's just-
Subculture: No, I mean you're literally sick.
Little Mac: ...I'm sorry that I cost you the match with Trevor, but you really should have ignored me and kept fighting. That's one of the main things I'm trying to do with Blood 4 Blood. Pass on my knowledge.
Subculture: Before what...something kills you? What is it Mac? Lay it on me. No more bullshit.
Little Mac: It's my liver...it's failing, and it's killing me.
Subculture: What?
Little Mac: Too much drinking maybe? Too many shot to the liver from my ring days? That couldn't have helped. That's why you need to guard your liver when you're in your fighting stance by the way. Keep the gloves up but-
Subculture: You really are dying?
Little Mac: ...Apparently. I don't have any family that can help me with this. I've spent too long standing alone. That was a gift I tried to give you. You were like a son to me, even in the bad times, even when I was being a bastard. You didn't have a Dad that gave you gifts, so I tried to give you a different kind of gift: self reliance. Teaching you to work hard and become the man...well the man you are now. You learned that lesson pretty well. I think I was wrong though. You should be able to rely on others sometimes too. That's a lesson you taught yourself. You got married. You ensured you won't die alone.
Subculture: ...You won't die alone either. In fact...you're not going to die at all.
Little Mac: Where are we going? You have a match to get to.
Subculture: I need to take care of you.
Little Mac: You need to handle your business in the ring. You do that...and then we'll talk.
Subculture: Fine. You feel strong enough to come out there with me?
Little Mac: ...I wouldn't miss it.
2. E1 Climax Block A: Sal Paradise[6] vs. Subculture[5]
-The People's Choice and the Green Bomber clashed in match that Sal needed to win to try and lock down his spot in the Finale. A collar and elbow tie up started the bout, with each man hitting a chops, Subbie hit a straight punch to the face of Sal and dropped him. Paradise popped up soon after and hit a forearm to send Subculture to the mat. Paradise then dominated for several minutes. Subculture was distracted by the fact that the Stygian Inquisition were nowhere to be seen. He started to pepper in some stiff punches, but was thwarted to start, as Paradise countered and took Subbie to the mat. When both men got back up they traded kicks and chops, Paradise worked the match back into the corner. After this Subbie finally hit a punch combo and sent Sal to the mat, as the Blood 4 Blood bomber circled his downed body. Paradise did get up and hit a suplex to give him some time to rest. The back and forth continued as Paradise tried and succeeded with Power moves. Subculture hit crucial punches to keep his opponent from winning. He then hit a punch to the face and then a Counter Culture for a near fall. Subbie then countered a Paradise attack into a scoop slam for another near fall. Sal came back hard and knocked Subbie to the ground, but missed on the Perfect Sky attempt. Subculture wound up for the KO Punch and hit another Counter Culture for the pin and two more points!
Winner: Subculture via KO Punch x Counter Culture -> Pin -> Subculture[7]
Makoto Angel: A feel good win for Subculture there, and Sal is being a good sport about it too. He's had a good run in the E1, and a couple of late game losses aren't going to stop him from enjoying being back in his element. Right Apple?
Apple Kid: *turn to Minako in the front row* So you're like cursed to be alone forever?
Minako Aino: Technically I guess. I never understood it myself. Just one of the "perks" of the job. You know I was basically the first Sailor Scout heroine. I called myself Sailor V.
Apple Kid: Wow, that's so cool.
Minako Aino: Then I ended up playing second fiddle to Usagi, and you want to know why?
Apple Kid: Dying to know.
Minako Aino: Because we look so much alike, that I was basically the stand in, in case someone was going to try and assassinate her. Can you believe that?
Apple Kid: Unbelievable!
Minako Aino: I know! I mean, Usagi is one of my besties, but I don't feel like taking a bullet for her unless I REALLY have to. I dressed like her once to protect her identity, and she didn't even appreciate it!
Apple Kid: The nerve! You know Galileo said that Venus copies the form of the Moon, but maybe the legendary astronomer and
Minako Aino: So basically, I'm just meant to be this bodyguard/meat shield that is alone forever. It makes me so mad, I want to choke someone out with my Venus Love Chain!
Apple Kid: That's scarousing!
Larry Grim: I think Apple is busy.
Makoto Angel: Oh...RIGHT Larry?
Larry Grim: Right you are Makoto. Subculture with the points, and Sal still holding his head up high. Very positive stuff here, and that means...oh crap.
Backstage
The camera cut to the back again as the Stygian Inquisition put the boots to Mav Valentine. A new member was among then, with his face wrapped in tight leather bonds and barbed wire, with a gnarled spike sticking out of his head.
Subculture: Mav! Get back Mac!
The Auditor: It's not quite Mav's time, but penalties are required. You understand.
Trevor Mach: You got a problem big shoots? You come to me. You leave them out of it, and you come to me!
The Auditor: You assume we're impatient people. We have time...and if we don't we make time. We get to our appointments at the designated time. *checks watch* It's not time yet. The Assessor and...our other associate...have other matters to attend to now. Good day gentlemen.
Trevor Mach: .....
Subculture: Do we got after them?
Trevor Mach: No...no you have to get Mac out of here. I'll take care of Mav. They can wait...for now.
3. E1 Climax Block B: Magnum PT[0] vs. Jaden Yuki[2]
-The next match saw Magnum PT put his chest hair on the line against Jaden Yuki. Everyone loved PT, and his fighting spirit had been on display on the bottom end of the E1, while Jaden Yuki also fought through injury and the constant attacks by Seto Kaiba. This one didn't take long before Kaiba made his way out to ringside in fact. Seto had a pipe in his hands, and as Jaden hit the ropes, Seto smashed him with the pipe to the injured knee. Seto walked off before the referee could put two and two together, as Jaden rolled out of the ring in pain. The ref began the count, and Magnum, not wanting to win like this, ordered the ref to end the match in a draw. He helped Jaden Yuki to his feet, as Point Man came out to assist. The fans were cheated out of a match, but they adored PT for the good sportsmanship. At the very least, he was on the board with one point.
Winner: Draw -> Magnum PT[1]/Jaden Yuki[3]
4. E1 Climax Block A: Zyro Kurogane[7] vs. Benjamin[5]
-The match started with a nose to nose, Zyro-K pushed Benjamin and then Benjamin responded with a punch. The two then tried more intense strikes until Zyro-K grabbed the foot of Benjamin on a flat foot to the face attempt. Benjamin sent Zyro-K to the outside and worked him outside for a minute or so. Back in the ring, Benjamin was working Kurogane on the apron, Zyro-K was able to tie Benjamin’s legs in the ropes and Penguin stopped the hold with a 5 count. Zyro-K then sent Benjamin to the outside and tied Benjamin’s ankle in a similar hold in the metal barrier at ringside. Kurogane had sustained offense for several minutes. Eventually the men were back in the ring and then traded kicks to the back. With each man willingly sitting down in the ring and welcoming running kicks. After a number of kicks from each, Zyro-K faked a kick and did a head submission on Benjamin that transitioned into a series of arm, wrist and finger holds that ended with Zyro-K working the shoulder of Benjamin. While Kurogane had wrist control, Benjamin hit defensive forearms and was able to break free and hit a power slam to end his opponents assault. Kurogane took the padding off a turnbuckle, but Benji countered his attempt and tossed Kurogane into the exposed metal. Benjamin then hit a DDT into the top rope and then an Excalibur off the middle rope for a two count. Benjamin had a tiger hold locked, but Kurogane was able to fight out and locked in a submission hold and put Benjamin in a pinning position for a two count. Both men were separated, with Zyro-K getting up first, he promptly hit kicks to the chest of a kneeling Benjamin. But, Benjamin was up quickly and he laid in stiff shots as well. The exchange ended as Kurogane hit a drop kick. Both men traded forearms and upper cuts in another test of pride. Benjamin then hit a Spear off the ropes. Benjamin then hit multiple drop kicks in the corner and then a double stomp off the top rope for a near fall. Benjamin set up the Masamune, but Kurogane escaped and hit really hard slaps on Benjamin to keep himself safe. Benjamin tried another Masamune, but Kurogane kept the legendary sword in its sheathe, and put Benjamin in a hold. Kurogane locked in a cobra twist then a full nelson, then into a leg hold and then an ankle lock. Benjamin rolled Sabre into the exposed turnbuckle and then hit a big knee for a near fall on Kurogane. The two fought back to their feet and traded holds until Zyro-K finally managed to snake behind Benjamin to trap him in the Straight Jacket Hagen, and landed it hard for the pin.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen Suplex -> Pin -> Zyro Kurogane[9]
Larry Grim: Wow! What a match!
Makoto Angel: So good! Benjamin was willing to fight down and dirty to match Zyro-K. He's just so good! The Mystic Bout Machine! He earned that name. All the same, I have to admit that Zyro-K is good...he's very good. I think he's better than anyone anticipated. Tack saw potential, but I think w00t saw it more than anyone, and that's why Kurogane is the center piece of Perfection, and he's getting very very close to acheiving the dream. If you win the E1 as the World Champion, you become imortallized. It's as simple as that. Right Apple?
Apple Kid: *turned to Minako Aino* So that Mamoru guys seems like a real jerk.
Minako Aino: Oh tell me about it! As we got older he showed his true colors by leaving Usagi for Naru. They were supposed to have a kid! Chibi Usa was her name, but she got blinked out of existence. Mamoru still has a future kid, that kid's got a weird accent now.
Apple Kid: That's wild.
Larry Grim: ...*leans into Makoto* You sat them together on purpose didn't you?
Makoto Angel: Maybe? I am after all the "Angel of Love" teehee.
Backstage
w00t was making his way to the ring, when he saw The Auditor leaning against the wall.
w00t: Auditor? Are we doing this now?
The Auditor: You audit? Oh no, dear me no, I don't have the time to count up your sins w00t...not now anyways. I have to make a request.
w00t: A request from me? I'm intrigued.
The Auditor: Something must happen later. It's absolutely crucial for The Stygian Inquisition. Whatever happens, just stay out of the way. Is that clear?
w00t: Absolutely.
The Auditor: ...It's always a pleasure to do business with you w00t. You allowed us into Crystal Heaven. I will remember that.
w00t: I hope it helps my case with your...cause.
The Auditor: ...The audit will come to everyone, but it buys you time.
w00t: ...
5. E1 Climax Block B: Bashin Dan[6] vs. w00t[10]
-A battle of master strategists, as w00t took on Bashin Dan in a highly anticipated match up. w00t attacked Dan before the match started. The two men then went to the outside as w00t sent Dan flying into the barricade. w00t continued with another Celtic whip into the barricade. Dan powered up after this and slammed w00t to the floor and dropped his face on the ring apron. Back in the ring, Dan remained in control and went for a cover, but it only yielded him a one count. Dan brought w00t to the apron and tried to set up a Death Valley Driver, w00t countered and tried to apply the same move, but both men were too fresh to have the move applied. On the outside, w00t slammed Dan into the barrier again and then picked him up and slammed him on said barrier. w00t then hit a lariat and rolled in the ring, then called for the count to start. Dan was able to beat the count and w00t pounced on the still weary Dan. w00t was in control for several minutes. Dan was able to hit some elbows to appear to break out of the martial subjugation that w00t was inflicting. But, w00t hit a leg lariat and got a two count. Dan then powered up by getting punched in the face, Dan then hit a suplex to leave both men laying on the mat. Dan was up first and hit a body slam and a senton. Dan then pumped up the crowd and hit stomp punches and then a DDT on w00t. After a few slower moments w00t was able to regain control of the match, and both men were on the middle rope, on opposite sides of the turnbuckle. w00t won an exchange up there and hit a superplex. w00t then hit a full nelson bomb and a full stack ending in a near fall for Dan. w00t went for a leg lariat, he was caught by Dan, but w00t reversed it and hit a move. w00t then tried the wKo, but Dan countered with a cutter of his own. Dan then hit a wheel barrow suplex, then a sliding lariat for a near fall on w00t. w00t tried for a pin, but the referee saw him pulling the tights of Dan and the fall count was stopped. Dan then hit a forearm in the ropes and a running lariat for the near fall on w00t. Both men were in the middle of the ring and traded strikes and chops. w00t hit a thumb to Dan's still injured eye, and a roll up for a near fall. He then hit a running lariat. Dan then hit one of his own as both men were now in bad shape. Dan dodged to hooks and hit a lariat, sending w00t and himself to the mat. Dan then set up a Brave Clash, w00t battled out and hit some forearms. w00t landed a wKo out of nowhere, and picked him up again for yet another wKo. 1-2-KICKOUT! w00t and the crowd were shocked, as a bloody Dan slowly climbed back to his feet. w00t feigned fear, but simply dropped him with a third wKo for the pin and the win.
Winner: w00t via wKo -> Pin -> w00t[12]
Larry Grim: The thumb to the eye was just gruesome to see after the damage done to Dan's eye already. w00t used his tools to put away the Dangerous Player, and it took SEVERAL wKos to get the job done. w00t can act like it didn't phase him much, but you could see his genuine response at the kick out. It was there. He didn't see that coming. Bashin Dan was looking strong in the match, but w00t is the only one left undefeated in the E1 so far, by hook or by crook.
Makoto Angel: The next thing we're NOT happy to announce, as Jason Boomtown is not capable of competing tonight. After the damage the Stygian Inquisition did to him and several other wrestlers tonight, it's not a surprise. It's just disappointing. It has to be killing Boomtown, but not more than being literally killed by the Inquisition.
6. E1 Climax Block A: Jason Boomtown[0] vs. Jammer[6]
-Jammer didn't have to compete in this one. He came out to the ring and shrugged as it was announced that he won two points by medical forfeit.
Winner: Jammer via Medical Forfeit -> Jammer[8]
Makoto Angel: Yeah, like I said, we weren't happy about this one. Jammer is up to eight points, but he doesn't look happy at the way he got the points. He's doing the best out of the Dan Club, because you know they compete with each other in a friendly way. This wasn't what we wanted to see, but the next match I definitely want to see, as Tack Angel takes one of his former proteges in Isiah Muscle.
Larry Grim: Where did Apple Kid go?
The two turned to see Apple had left the table to sit with Minako and talk. Larry scratched at his skull in confusion as Makoto giggled.
7. E1 Climax Block B: Tack Angel[8] vs. Isiah Muscle[1]
-Isiah was chomping at the bit to get to Tack Angel. He wanted to prove himself and wanted to prove that he could finally beat his former "leader". He almost lost immediately, as he shot in and got head kicked for a nearfall. Headlock by Tack, but Isiah hit a Saito suplex immediately for a near-fall himself. Isiah hit an axe bomber, but Tack came back with some body shots to Muscle's midsection, throwing him back into a corner to recuperate. w00t made his way back out to the ring around this time. Tack was getting worked over by Isiah in the early going, but Tack took over and kept the momentum through the rest of the match. He was setting up by the ropes for the WRIST CLUTCH, when w00t low blowed him. Isiah was able to counter out into a Muscle Buster as Tack clutched at his crotch in agony. Isiah hit the Buster and pinned Tack for the win. A stunning upset thanks to w00t.
Winner: Isiah Muscle via Muscle Buster -> Pin -> Isiah Muscle[3]
Makoto Angel: NO! Darn! Isiah wins, but only because w00t got involved!
Larry Grim: Interference in the E1 is frowned upon! IT'S FROWNED UPON!
Makoto Angel: Normally, it's an instant fine, but with President Swift still recovering from being shot in the hospital, who is dishing out the fines? I don't like this. Isiah is acting very brash right now, but Tack is getting up. He's not happy about it. He's going to head kick Isiah! He barely got out of the ring in time. Tack is not happy with either of them!
Tack Angel: Is THAT how you want to win a match Isiah? Is THAT how you want to beat me? It's garbage. It is what it is, but it's garbage. These people want clean matches w00t. They want a clean E1, and you can't even give them that. God forgive me for ever putting you in my inner circle, even if I can barely remember. Even if I wasn't in my right mind. I can't imagine me at any time giving you that much influence. People, I want to say three things right now. I'm sorry about w00t, I LOVE the local sports team, and I'm STILL going to win the E1 CLIMAAAAAX!
8. E1 Climax Block A: Kinniku Mike[4] vs. Trevor Mach[7]
-Main event time, as Trevor Mach and Kinniku Mike were set to lock up, with w00t's bounty hanging over the match, as well as the looming threat of the Stygian Inquisition. Trevor gave them a look, but shot in on Mike at the sound of the bell, looking to put him away quickly, but Mike wasn't having it. Quick shots to start. Forearms by Mach. Hard lariat by Mike, who hit several suplexes. Mach hit a shoulder breaker to stop the momentum and both guys took a moment. Mike pulled Trevor to the outside, but Trevor head butt him and threw him right back in. It wasn't pretty. The two traded strikes and slams. Mach tried to grind at Mike's face to open up a cut that came from the head butt. He threw knees, while Mike slammed him to the mat, and tried to knock the wind out of the Bad Man. Mike threw Trevor back outside and taunted him, but as Trevor was about to re-enter the ring. He felt a sharp sting to his arm, as he tuned to see The Auditor had sliced him with a knife. He rolled back into the ring, but suddenly felt woozy, as poured poured from the cut. Mike wasted no time in trapped a woozy Mach in the Rear Naked Choke. Mach fought out of it as best he could, but eventually blacked out, and the ref called for the bell. Mach's first loss in months came from Kinniku Mike, who would claim the bounty on Trevor.
Winner: Kinniku Mine via Rear Naked Choke -> Referee Stoppage -> Kinniku Mike[6]
Makoto Angel: Oh no! Trevor looks like he's bleeding badly, and Blood 4 Blood are all out of the arena. Subculture left with Mac, while Mav and Picky have been taken to the hospital. This isn't good! Mike wants to continue to batter Mach, but here comes The Auditor, The Assessor, the Nameless, and their other unnamed associate. They are circling Trevor, while Mike is taking order from w00t who is telling him to just let it happen.
Larry Grim: This explains that encounter w00t had with The Auditor earlier. They are circling their prey, as a woozy Trevor is getting back up to his knees. He sees the situation...and he's FLIPPING OFF THE AUDITOR!
The Auditor: This is...necessary.
Trevor Mach: I've...I've still...I've still got your nose. Honk ho-
The Stygian Inquisition attacked Trevor Mach en masse. They put the boots to him hard, but the crowd went wild as Tack Angel rushed out with a chair and got into the mix. He helped Trevor back to his feet as the two worked together to fight the Inquisition, finally running them all out of the ring. Tack and Trevor were fired up, covered in blood, and forehead to forehead as they hyped each other up. The crowd were thrilled as the Bad Dudes shook hands and stood tall as the show came to a close.

Ms. Xtra: I don't have time for a stupid catchphrase this week, because the E1 Climax is wrapping up to a thrilling climax, and I'm almost at a thrilling climax myself because Daddy Trevor is in the house today, as it Tack Angel and Makoto Angel! The Bad Dudes are reunited!
Ms. Xtra: I asked for them, but I'm not really sure what Makoto is doing here. Trying to take my job?
Makoto Angel: Oh not at all, I think you do a great job, I just wanted to spend some time with my husband...who is quite frankly afraid of you a little, and wanted me to be near in case of trouble.
Ms. Xtra: What? I'm harmless! Besides, I'm all tied up!
Makoto Angel: No you're not.
Ms. Xtra: Well not yet, until Daddy Trevor punishes me for being a bad girl.
Trevor Mach: Chick, what the hell are you talking about?
Ms. Xtra: Umm...just jokes! I'm just excited to see you both here together! You've been on shaky ground since the E1 started and the Angel Empire fell. We were all hoping to see the Bad Dudes bring it back together!
Tack Angel: I still owe a debt, because I couldn't have done what I needed to do, with out Trevor Mach in my corner.
Ms. Xtra: We heard you say Trevor that you forgave Tack, but it didn't seem like you two were going to be friends anymore all the same.
Trevor Mach: When my Blood 4 Blood brothers were down and out, and the Stygian assholes wanted their blood donation, Tack made the save. You have my thanks big shoots.
Tack Angel: Least I could do, because you pulled me out of that situation too. They wouldn't be coming after Blood 4 Blood if not for me.
Makoto Angel: None of this is your fault!
Tack Angel: I'm taking responsibility, but I'm going to do something about it. I've got your back...with w00t...Perfection...the Stygian Inquisition, and anything that comes your way.
Trevor Mach: Cause you think you owe me?
Tack Angel: ...Cause I want my friend back.
Trevor Mach: Tack, let's get one thing perfectly clear. You and I....are not friends.
Makoto Angel: Oh no.
Trevor Mach: Well...not JUST friends. We're brothers...and brothers gotta hug!
The two friends had a hug and a laugh like they'd just let go of years of painful memories, but quickly remembered they were LIVE and composed themselves.
Trevor Mach: *clears throat* I'll have your back too. If anyone tries to get involved in our last E1 matches, they're going to get their head kneed in-
Tack Angel: Or their teeth kicked out...which I don't WANT to do...so don't make me.
Trevor Mach: Just something to remember w00t....Auditor...the Bad Dudes are back. We're back, we're bad, he's Tack, and I'm mad!
Ms. Xtra: What happens if you two end up in the Finale against each other?
Trevor Mach: ...Tack better not hope for a repeat of Bushido.
Tack Angel: ...I can't ever let that happen again. It would be a match, probably one of the best I've ever had. However I intend to win just as much as Trevor does. In the end, I still intend to pay my debt Trevor. I owe you a favor.
Trevor Mach: What favor?
Ms. Xtra: Wow, this is just great to see. As a fan of the Bad Dudes, I always wanted to see the dynamic duo back on the same page. Default settings are so awesome sometimes! Why try to change anything right? Haha! Nice flannel by the way Trevor. You look so rugged as a farmer, and I'm totally into i-
Tali Mach: *clears throat*
Ms. Xtra: Hmm? AAAH! Tali Mach everyone! What are you-
Tali Mach: Nope! No fuel for EBW. I'm just here to see Trevor, in my brand spanking new "Real Rush" t-shirt, available now! I don't have time for any of your bullshit, except to say that if I spanked you...you wouldn't like it...not at all. Make no mistakes little girl...we would destroy you. You coming Trevor?
Trevor Mach: ...Well not yet, but you're on the right track.
Tack Angel: Uh...hey Tali, I-
Tali Mach: Fuck off Tack!
Tack Angel: R-right.
Makoto Angel: Give her time. Things will go back to normal.
Tack Angel: Heh...that IS normal actually.
Ms. Xtra: *gulp* Well then...let's move on...to whatever we got....I don't know what it is.

Snow Wood Boarding School Gymnasium
Cadmus gathered the DVNO B-Team in one of the school's classrooms.
Tony Wonder: I don't think we're allowed to be in here.
Horace Angel: Don't be a little bitch brah. You're being lowkey cringe no cap.
Tony Wonder: Um...this is part of my next trick Horace! I'm going to make this pencil disappear. TA-DA! TONY WONDER! WAAAA!
Horace Angel: Dude, you dead ass just hid the pencil behind your back.
CP Munk: Guys, I'm pissed that we're not getting any respect! We're not getting any matches! People keep asking me about my friendship with Tack Angel! I'm tired of talking about it. I shouldn't have to talk about this in current year! By the way, I want to introduce you guys to my my good friend and mentor Jace Irons.
An unhinged and wild eyed man in a dress shirt and backstage staff pass kicked the door in, threw a chair, bit Tony Wonder, and ran off screaming.
CP Munk: He works backstage...for now. He and I are absolutely sick of the zoomer shits who don't listen!
Horace Angel: And I keep telling ya I don't take advice. No cap!
CP Munk: I KNOW YOU'RE NOT WEARING A HAT!
Cadmus: Guys! Guys! I called you here for a reason. Now, we all know that the DVNO B-Team is the top stable in all of wrestling and some of the culinary world somehow, and we'll finish what the Star Prince started. We need something to really get us to that next level though while my arm heals. We need a visionary, or an oracle if you will. Someone who can consult us on what to do, and thus, I bring to you our oracle!
Cadmus pulled a box out from under the desk, but not just any box. It was Senor Box!
Cadmus: El Mago apparently pulled him back from another dimension where he was controlling some loser named Kip. The box plagiarist doesn't deserve the box gimmick, so we're taking it back, and making Senor Box the new prophet of of DVNO B-Team! That'll teach that box plagiarist. They should really stop trying to take things from us. *stares at the screen* STOP STEALING SHIT!
Tony Wonder: Dude! Is that Jace guy rabid? He bit me!
CP Munk: Maybe?

Ana: Ana here, and it appears that Ninten is trapped at Psi Corp. with Lucas. I really hope those two can learn to work together, because it's going to be tricky to get them out otherwise. I'm trying to see if Ness might help, but that's taking some time. You probably don't care about this interesting side story that is happening slightly off to the side of everything else that is happening in EBW. You want the last E1 card right? Of course you do! It's a big night for sure, with the Dan Club exploding in the opener, and a Victory Explosion classic rematch between Sal Paradise and Trevor Mach. The main event will see Tack Angel and Hazen finally collide. This is a match that's been coming one way or the other since the explosive match between the two at last year's Victory Explosion. Will Mav Valentine and Jason Boomtown be able to compete though? What about Jaden Yuki? Is Subculture even going to be at the show? So many questions, and I guess we'll get the answers back home in Renegade Arena.

XTRA EXCLUSIVE MATCH!
1. XTRA Tag Team Match: Point Man/Pucky vs. LG Rod/Randy no Kachi
-The Weekend Wrecking Crew battled the Heel Besties in an entertaining little bout. Rod and Randy were quick to tag and helpful to each other, while Pucky just came in like a chaotic bull in the way he goal checked everyone in sight, and that almost included the Pegnuin ref. The popular, trust worthy, and reliable ENN+ Champion Point Man escaped a Legdrop Bulldog attempt and trapped Rod in the Cobra Clutch for a submission win.
Winners: Point Man[o]/Pucky via Cobra Clutch on LG Rod -> Submission
2. XTRA Women's Television Championship: Erica vs. Alison Chains
-Erica put her title on the line against Alison Chains, and treated the secondary belt with little to no care, calling it a trinket on the way to the ring. Hope's unhinged "friend" Alison tried talking to the crowd like children, and got bowled over for her troubles. A brawl more than a match, Alison nearly cost herself the match when she pulled out the barbed wire, but Erica was un-phased until she wrapped it around her arm and tried to set it on fire. Erica threw her lighter and hit her with the Air Raid Crash to put away Alison and defend her title.
Winner: Erica via Air Raid Crash -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Ms. Xtra: Well there you have it folks. That's the show for tonight. Anything else between now and the final E1 show you can see on EBW World, and I kind of want to figure out what's going on with all the psychic drama. That sort of seems like something we should be paying attention to. Oh well! Don't miss Xcite, and get ready for the big Finale showdown IN THE DOOOOOOO*cough cough cough cough cough*....dome.

Saturn City Hospital
Subculture paced back and forth as Trevor Mach ran up to him, finally reaching the hospital.
Subculture: Glad you're here.
Trevor Mach: Am I the only one?
Subculture: Mav and Picky were kept for observation. I hear that Mav has been trying to get out of the hospital though.
Trevor Mach: Typical. The bastard is made of stern stuff for sure. How's the old man doing?
Subculture: Not great. He is dying of cirrhosis of the liver. They say he's not going to survive unless they get him a transplant.
Trevor Mach: Then what are we waiting for? Hook me up, and let's go.
Subculture: You?
Degrees: Afraid not Trevor. You're a lot of things, but one thing you're not is a compatible donor.
Trevor Mach: Really? What if I like...try really hard.
Degrees: It doesn't work that way?
Trevor Mach: You got a pill for it or something?
Degrees: Nope.
Trevor Mach: I was Death. Does that help?
Degrees: If you're trying to kill him faster maybe.
Trevor Mach: Damn!
Degrees: However Subculture, I just got back from checking out your blood work, and you ARE a compatible donor.
Subculture: Yeah?
Trevor Mach: Sweet. I can keep my liver and not feel guilty about it.
Degrees: You never had to feel guilty. You couldn't donate it.
Trevor Mach: I'm good at finding reasons to feel guilty. Just give me time.
Degrees: Now the good news is when it comes to donating a liver, I only need a bit of it. Liver tissue has a way of regenerating.
Subculture: Oh good, I don't have to stop drinking.
Degrees: The bad news is, we have to do this, and we have to do it now. He really pushed it, told me he wanted to see Blood 4 Blood through to the end of the E1.
Subculture: ...I actually feel like drinking right now.
Trevor Mach: Wait a minute, he's got another E1 match. It's against that little shit Kurogane.
Degrees: I know you're all in the middle of a tournament, but this is crucial. Hell, we might already be too late.
Subculture: Do it.
Trevor Mach: Subbie?
Subculture: We can't let him die.
Trevor Mach: I get that, and I'm with ya, but this is something serious man. This will take you out for a while. It's not just a match.
Subculture: I know that. You were willing to do it, why wouldn't I be? Despite everything...he's the closest thing I have to a Dad.
Trevor Mach: What about Tack?
Subculture: THE CLOSEST THING I HAVE TO A DAD!
Trevor Mach: Alright! I got it! I respect the hell out of you for it. Good luck.
Subculture: Wish us both luck.
Degrees: Luck is in an intangible...but yeah...even I would like some of that thrown my way. This is serious.
Trevor Mach: Well shit.
Suddenly Trevor heard a crashing sound. He ran down the hallway to see a table flipped over, and the occupant of the room was standing upright, and he was very furious.
Trevor Mach: Swift! El Presidente! I-
Swift: TABLES!
Trevor Mach: What?!
Swift: GET ME....MORE TABLES!
Trevor Mach: To flip?
Swift: TO FLIP!
Trevor Mach: Right. Uh...they're down the hall.
Swift: Flipping tables, and then I'm coming back to kick ass!
Trevor Mach: That's great Boss, but maybe puts some pants on? Nope...just running down the hallway bare assed. That's fine. I'm not jealous of the definition at all.
Noah Jennings: Noah Jennings here a breaking news segment for Wide World of Wrestling! What? What do you mean it's been gone for months? We air every week. It's a weekly show. It's not our fault you never change the channel. We've got some big news for you today from Mid-South. Yep, Mid-South is still around. It's still hanging in there. In fact, they got a new benefactor recently, whom I'm told is quite green and quite retired. I have no idea what that means. Anyways, the news comes just days after EBW released backstage talent Jace Irons. A wrestler in his own right, the crazed man burst into a room and started fighting and biting people. Fast forward to earlier today at the Channel 5 Studio in Mid-South. Barry Lawless and recently un-zombified Chad Salad took on the Superkick Rockers, but then a crazed Jace Irons rushed to the ring.
Noah Jennings: Jace Irons knocked out Nick Superkick with a chair to the face, and rushed the ring, pulling hair and biting the hell out of Chad Salad. He just went crazy! Security had to hold him down and get him out of the ring! I'm hearing that he was immediately signed though, because why the hell wouldn't you sign someone causing this many waves and bringing this much attention to the product?! His first match will be against Barry Lawless in a Bunkhouse match. I'm told cowbells will be involved.

Good News Gary: GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Good News Gary is here for the final night of the group stages for the E1 Climax! I'm joined by Jason Boomtown, who finds himself as the only one left with zero points. After winning TUE Season 3, I bet this has been quite the wake up call.
Jason Boomtown: I was battered and bleeding out...yeah...it's been quite the wake up call. It's been tough...really rough...and the definition of on the job training. It's hard learning how to bring the BOOM on the big stage, but I don't give up. I don't quit. I learn, and I adapt to the situation. I didn't get Sophia the 3rd by being a quitter...I mean I got her cause she belonged to my Dad, but that's besides the point! I'm going to work harder, I'm going to train harder, and I'm going to bring the BOOM, along with my friend and tag partner Mr. Scary. In fact, here he comes now! Ready to back me up tonight buddy?
Mr. Scary: I'M LEAVING!
Jason Boomtown: Huh?
Mr. Scary: I'M GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE! SOME CRAZY GUY BROKE INTO THE ARENA AND STARTED FIGHTING EVERYBODY! HE'S SCARIER THAN I AM! I'VE GOT TO TAKE A BREAK CAUSE HALLOWEEN IS COMING AND I'M JUST NOT SCARY ENOUGH RIGHT NOW!
Jason Boomtown: ...I'll...stand alone if I have to? I got this Gary...I got this.
Good News Gary: ...I'll take your word for it! Haha...ha.
"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"
The show opened in a big way with Tack Angel's theme hitting. The former King was still trying his best to win the crowd back over, but by showing a jersey for the local sports team, he won them over pretty easily.
Tack Angel: Thank you SATURN CITY! I really love being in SATURN CITY! SATURN CITY! Guess what guys? I moved into the Old Bad Dudes Dojo, and guess where that is? SATURN CITY! I'm the local home town boy! Woooo! Yeah! Seriously though, it's great to be back here. We've had a HECK of an E1 run haven't we? This has been some of the best wrestling I've been a part of in a long time, and it reminds me of why I love the sport. Winning the E1, it's always been a dream of mine. It's always been the one thing that eluded me. Do I deserve to be EBW World Champion right now? After what I'd been doing up until Bushido, not likely, but I choose to believe that if I can win the E1, I'd be worthy again. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm doing what I'm doing. I had to travel to dark places to accomplish a grand mission, but only by flying back towards the light, can the Pushpin Seraphim regain his dignity. Because I LOVE my dignity...did I mention Saturn City has a great sports team! I eat at the Saturn Cafe all the time too. I mean not as much as Dan Club, but I don't think ANYONE eats there as much as Dan Club and-
w00t: Would you care to finish your buffoonery? The adults would like to get some work done.
Tack turned around to see w00t on the big screen, inside of the Perfection VIP Room. He wasn't alone.
Tracy: w00t truly understands what the VIP treatment is supposed to be. You were happy to sit in what was basically an empty room with chairs. This is more like a spa, and a women of status deserves that sort of treatment.
Tack Angel: Tracy. I-
w00t: No no, you don't get to talk to her. You're talking to me Tack. Look at me. Look at the face of the man who took it all from you, and I did it gladly. People tend to forget, I didn't wait for your "change of heart" to stab you in the back. I did so the MOMENT you were knocked on your ass, which means I'd be ready to do so for a long time. I've been in and out of EBW for years, and the best lesson I've ever learned from it all is strike while the iron is hot. That's exactly what I did, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I hurt you, and the reason I'm here today is to tell you that I wish to go on hurting you. I can't go after the extended family anymore, and I'm *bleep*ing your first love in this very VIP Room I might add, so all that's left is to go after your dreams. I do NOT want you to win that E1, not because I don't think Kurogane could take you, I know he can. I want you to lose because it's your dream to win. It's that simple, and I'm that basic in my pleasures. I'll win it all. I'm undefeated. I'm the only one in the whole damn thing that's undefeated. I'll continue that momentum all the way to the trophy. It's as good as mine.
Tack Angel: I want to feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that Tracy felt she needed more than I could provide, and instead traded down for you. I feel sorry that you weren't happy being my right hand man, which still sickens me to think I actually allowed that. I feel sorry for what I intend to do to you...but I will do it none the less. The history of EBW has seen you fall on your BUTT every single time you've tried to run the show! It happened then, and it'll happen now. The King might be dead, but long live the Pushpin Seraphim, as I WILL SOAR TO THE E1 CLIMAX, AND IF I HAVE TO KICK YOUR HEAD IN TO DO SO THEN I'M GOING TO DO IT! I doubt Tracy...is going to feed you your meals through a straw.
w00t: ...
The screen went black as Tack turned back to the crowd to remind them further that he is from the place that they're currently at, and because he exists in a space that is near the space that they exist, they should cheer, because of the fact that he is within made up city limits, and like their sports team. Technically, most of the roster lives in Saturn City so how does that even he-
EBW Announce Table
Apple Kid: Welcome to EBW: Xcite! We're back home in Saturn City, the Renegade Arena, and what an XCTING time in the E1 Climax! It's the final show of the group stages! After tonight, we're going to know exactly who faces who this weekend inside of the Saturn Dome. We can also confirm that Hope Mach will be defending against Erica, with the Women's World Championship on the line. Also, we know that the Twin Lariats will defend against Darkness Aoi and Mitra Lennox. Big matches for the ladies, who have been very generous in giving us this time for the E1 Climax. It's been a ride, and I hope that getting paid to now work for a few weeks except on Xtra took away some of that sting. I mean I LOVE EBW, but I would take paycheck to sit at home for a few weeks. Also, I just wanted to take this moment to say HI MINAKO! Haha! She said she'd be watching tonight Larry, so I hope you don't mind.
Larry Grim: Mind? Why would I mind? I'm really happy that you two seem to be hitting it off. I'm not going to get on your case or anything. That would involve jealousy, and I'm many things, including a skeleton man, but I'm not jealous of my new good friend Apple Kid. Haha! Nope...not...at all. On another note, Martha, please take me back.
Apple Kid: Huh?
Larry Grim: What did I just say? Haha! That was weird. I meant to say, we have Makoto in the back with a very special, but very dangerous interview. Tack might want to see this, so before he leaves the ring let's take it to the back!
Apple Kid: Dude, you sure you're OK?
Larry Grim: ...I'm fine. *sigh* ♫ Martha please, come back to me. ♫
Apple Kid: What?
Backstage
Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here with-
A hand slammed on the locked beside Makoto. The camera panned out to reveal Hazen.
Hazen: ...I never liked you.
Makoto Angel: That's...that's a shame.
Hazen: Do I scare you?
Makoto Angel: ...I won't allow myself to be scared by you. Not now.
Hazen: Good. Be fearless. Don't be a coward...don't be spineless like Tack Angel. I actually knelt before him, for a spot at a worthless table made out of false promises. A table I wish I could put him throw. He used us all, and now there is nothing to show for it. It was all a lie, and all that is left is for the War King to go to war, because that is all I have left. I don't have a Kingdom, a country, a stable to call my own. I am alone against the world because of your husband. I-
Tack Angel: HEY! You leave her alone!
Makoto Angel: Tack, I can handle this!
Tack Angel: I know you can. I know you can do that. However, this is what he wants. He wanted me here, or he wanted to be able to say I was a coward unchallenged. Well I'm here. I'm not a coward. Hazen, I didn't want it to end this way.
Hazen: But it did, and now I need to finish what I started. I left you half dead once before. You painted your face, and had an attitude I started to respect. What a fool I was. I should've just finished the job.
Tack Angel: That was the moment he found he stopped hiding in the background of my mind. He pulling me in that direction, but you blew me up, and he started pushing, and it nearly ruined my entire life. Nearly cost us all everything. I should be furious...but I don't have that in me anymore. It was never what I wanted to begin with. Besides, you had no idea. You just thought you could blow someone up though. Truth be told, my mind is hazy about the past couple of years, but I know that I would have pulled you out of that ring. I have no intention of killing you, like you intend with me. I do however, intend on beating you tonight, because that loss to you...it does still hang over my head, after all of this time. You beat me before, it's not going to happen again.
Hazen: We'll see won't we? w00t is not the only one who wants to crush your dreams. However, he'll break your spirit, while I'll break your body.
Tack Angel: ...Try it.
Makoto Angel: That Tack is so hot right now....Tack.
EBW Xcite "E1 Climax 2022"
Renegade Arena, Saturn City
ENN
1. E1 Climax Block A: Jammer[6] vs. Benjamin[5]
-Jammer and Benjamin shook hands and even hugged before the match. It's nice when not everyone in wrestling is a bastard all the time right? They built slowly and methodically. After some chop exchanges, Benjamin took control and landed kicks in the corner. Jammer knocked Benjamin off the top rope with a running forearm. Jammer sling-shot himself toward Benji, but Benjamin moved and Jammer hit the ringpost. Benjamin was in control. Jammer came back with Death Valley Driver for a near fall. Jammer landed a top rope overhead slam for a near fall. He set up a leg Lariat next, but Benji rolled to the floor. He quickly rolled back in and they exchanged more chops. After a Jammer sitout powerbomb we got another two count. Jammer landed on his feet on a top rope back suplex attempt. He hit Benji with a spinning lariat for a near fall. Benjamin came back with a Spear for a nearfall, but Jammer escaped on the Masamune attempt. Jammer climbed to the top rope, but didn’t rush, and then went for a Slam Jam, but Benjamin moved. Benji then landed a flying knee. Jammer rolled to the floor. Benjamin thought about diving through the ropes, but he and Jammer both agreed it would be stupid and Benjamin just allowed Jammer back into the ring. They went all out in the closing minutes of the match as they approached a time limit draw. The best buddies knew each other too well, but a trip up from Jammer allowed Benjamin to hit the Spear. He unleashed the legendary Masamune, and brought Slam Jam to the mat for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Benjamin via Spear x Masamune -> Pin -> Benjamin[7]
Apple Kid: Benjamin with the win! What a great way to kick off this final night of the block stages. I'm thrilled to be a part of it, even though I've heard rumors of a psychopath wandering around the arena. When ISN'T that the case! Am I right? Haha...ha!
Makoto Angel: Hazen is one such character, and he'll be facing Tack Angel in the main event, but before that, we're got w00t putting his E1 undefeated streak on the line against Jaden Yuki. He's out of the running altogether, but a win here would still shake things up. It would be good for his career, and w00t wouldn't like it either, and I'll admit that would make me chuckle all things considered. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person. I'm used to nothing but loving feelings, so this is weird sometimes.
Larry Grim: I wouldn't worry. It's w00t we're talking about.
2. E1 Climax Block B: w00t[12] vs. Jaden Yuki[3]
-Jaden came out rapping, and was bragging about his skill, while at the same time he limped to the ring. w00t seemed to be relishing his chance to come out there and shut him up with a wKo, but before he could get to the ring, Tack spun him around and hit a big kick to the head that knocked him to the ground. Tack escaped through the crowd and apologized to the people he was bumping into and telling them how much he loved where they were from. They ate it up because he's from where they are from, and I'm sorry but I'll never get over how stupid that is. w00t came in off kilter, and Jaden was able to quickly capitalize, hitting the GX Factor to an already subdued w00t, claiming two more points, and crushing w00t's winning streak.
Winner: Jaden Yuki via GX Factor -> Pin -> Jaden Yuki[5]
Makoto Angel: Wooo! Yeah! I-sorry...I just had to indulge a little. Good for Jaden Yuki right?
Larry Grim: Uh...sure. I'm glad for Jaden, and w00t looks livid. He's not happy that Tack got the better of him on that one.
Apple Kid: w00t will still cement his place in the E1 Climax Semi-Finals IN THE DOME! That is for certain, but he won't be going in with a perfect record.
3. E1 Climax Block A: Jason Boomtown[0] vs. Kinniku Mike[6]
-For anyone expecting a night of few shenanigans, them found themselves dealing with MANY shenanigans in fact, as a beaten Kinniku Mike stumbled out of the entrance for his match with Boomtown. A shred of a Blood 4 Blood t-shirt in his hands made it clear that Trevor Mach was responsible. Jason Boomtown was still reeling from his assault by the Stygian Inquisition, and they were even still sitting in the crowd watching over everything, but he used the opportunity to get points on the board. Mike was hurt, but still fighting. However, when Jason brought out the BOOM! Mike fell out of the ring, and couldn't get back in before the ten count. Jason Boomtown with the upset win, ensuring he didn't end the E1 with zero points.
Winner: Jason Boomtown via Count Out -> Jason Boomtown[2]
Apple Kid: And Boomtown with the win! No one is leaving this E1 with zero points, but you just have to know that Jason wishes his first E1 would have gone differently.
Larry Grim: Tough on the job training, but he's finding out quickly you need more than a cool tank and a cool gimmick to go far in the E1...no matter how cool the tank is. I mean it really is cool though.
Apple Kid: Totally.
Makoto Angel: I love it.
Backstage
Bashin Dan ran up to the limping Jaden Yuki to congratulate him.
Bashin Dan: Hey Jaden, congratulations on the win!
Jaden Yuki: The win? I wouldn't call it my finest hour my man, but I appreciate it. It's less than my best though, and that's not good enough, because Jaden Yuki is Absolutely-
Seto Kaiba: A joke.
Jaden Yuki: Ah man, not this buster again! You're whack man, and I owe you for my knee problems!
Bashin Dan: And I've got his back, so leave him alone.
Seto Kaiba: Awww...look at that. You made a new friend Jaden. However, so have I.
Bashin Dan: Razorblade.
Razorblade: That's right Botchin' Dan! You think you can just forget about me!? You're still holding the VBW Championship, and yet you NEVER show up to defend it. I've come to claim it, because stripping you of the title is a bitch move, and we don't do bitch moves in VBW!
Bashin Dan: I've been a little busy I admit, but I never back down from a challenge. I'm guessing you were brought in to keep me in check. Is that right Kaiba?
Seta Kaiba: I have the money, and Razorblade services were the right price. It's as simple as that. You being rivals just makes things sweeter. This is a message to both of you. I've got a big announcement to make following the end of the E1 Climax. I've been watching, training, and waiting. My debut in the ring is coming soon, and just like when you have all five cards in the Exodia set, the winner is all but a certainty.
Bashin Dan: .....
Jaden Yuki: Dude, you hear that heavy breathing? It's hella creepy!
4. E1 Climax Block B: Bashin Dan[6] vs. Mav Valentine[5]
-This match from start to finish was a measured sprint, even with both men injured. To kick off, both men hit moves as counters, but as the first few minutes played out, Dan looked to end the match ASAP. He stopped a shoot in from Mav, and then stopped a tornado DDT dead, hitting a brainbuster as a counter. Blood 4 Blood went for quick finishes, and Dan was more than able to adapt, escaping a Mav Buster, and hitting his own variation of it, before hitting the Brave Clash on the injured Mav for the pinfall.
Winner: Bashin Dan via Brave Clash -> Pin -> Bashin Dan[8]
Apple Kid: Mav Valentine was hurt going into this one, but he still gave Dan a fight. He's shaking his hand to show respect, and now he's pointing out to the Stygian Inquisition in the crowd, but wait here comes Picky Minch! Picky isn't looking that great either.
Mav Valentine: You jackasses think you're real tough cause you're into blood letting huh? I've got blood to spare! Picky, he's got blood to spare! Neither of us have dance partners in the dome, but we're hungry as hell for some payback! Me and the Pick Man are calling you out, any of you. I personally want to knock the teeth out of the chattering mouth of the Assessor. He can assess my ass kicking all he wants! Bring your BDSM butts to the dome, and we'll be happy to show you some of you own blood!
Picky Minch: ...YEAH! WHAT HE SAID! PRICKS!
Larry Grim: The challenge has been thrown down and The Auditor looks slightly amused I think? It's hard to tell with him. Anyways though, we have some footage that Trevor Mach sent in earlier in the day. Let's check it out!
The Mach Farm
Trevor Mach held up what was clearly MCW star Rhea Rampage's cell phone based on the streaming border, to record a video earlier in the week.
Trevor Mach: People think I'm a dumb hick these days because I live out in the country. It's quiet, it's peaceful, and I'm not beholden to the stupid bullshit that happens in big cities. You know how in the city you have to pay for water? Water, the naturalist of natural resources? I just shoved this pipe deep in the ground for the ultimate scam! Look!
Trevor pulled a lever, and water poured out.
Trevor Mach: Free water baby! Haha, I'm such a prankster! It's just right there in the Earth for free!
Rhea Rampage: Trevor! Do you have my phone?!
Trevor Mach: Oh sh-
Trevor turned the phone back on next to a cow in his field.
Trevor Mach: See this cow? I just feed this thing grain every day, and then I pull on her tits to get milk! Nobody knows about this apparently! I'm just a prankster, just a little leprechaun! I'm up to all sorts out here on the farm! Ironically, King Tack probably would have had a farm FULL of cows if he knew how that worked.
Rhea Rampage: Trevor! Give me my phone back!
Trevor Mach: No! Start paying rent for staying in my house!
Trevor ran off laughing and shut the phone. He opened it back up in a small room full of chickens.
Trevor Mach: Check out this scam. I just give these idiotic moron chickens, food, water, heat, and love, and they lay all these eggs for me. Free eggs! I'm such a goofball! Such a little naughty scammer!
He ran across out of the room into a field where tomatoes were growing.
Trevor Mach: Look at this shit! See these tomatoes? Each one of them has hundreds of seeds inside. I plant them in the ground, and this dope mother nature, just sort of gives me UNLIMITED FREE FOOD! I don't have to buy my own food! I'm such a dirty bastard! I don't have to pay for any of this shit! I grow strawberries too, cause I'm apparently lacking in potassium otherwise, BUT they also taste great! However if I REALLY want to taste strawberry, I just part Tali's legs and-
Tali Mach: *cough cough*
Trevor Mach: Apparently....she's somewhere....in the field with me. Are you in here?
Tali Mach: Uh-huh.
Trevor Mach: Am I going through a wall?
Tali Mach: Uh-huh.
Trevor Mach: ...Rad.
Trevor finished his video inside his barn that houses the ring. A Trevor shaped hole was already in the process of being boarded up behind him.
Trevor Mach: This is the best part. I can train constantly for free. I can charge other people to use my ring and sit under my learning tree if I want. I'm a self sufficient man. I'm smarter than I've ever been...and the fact that I don't know how to set up a video on my phone like Rhea's got on hers doesn't change that fact! I've been living clean, training hard, and I'm ready to claim the E1 Climax trophy again baby! Sal Paradise my friend, you might be on the comeback trail, and won some big matches, but you're NOT gonna get by me. BOOSH!
5. E1 Climax Block A: Zyro Kurogane[9] vs. Subculture[7]
-Zyro Kurogane was all smiles as it was announced that Subculture would not be competing on this night, due to a medical forfeit. The crowd booed as the EBW World Champion laughed and took in the harsh crowd reaction.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Medical Forfeit -> Zyro Kurogane[11]
Makoto Angel: Subculture isn't here because he's making a tough sacrifice. He's donating a portion of his liver to Little Mac, in hopes of helping him to survive his condition. We don't have any updates, but we DO know that at this moment, President Swift is awake, and one step closer to being released. The hope is that the President will be on hand in THE DOME for the E1 Climax.
6. E1 Climax Block B: Magnum PT[1] vs. Isiah Muscle[3]
-A match that Isiah Muscle thought he had in the bag, the son of Mike even brought out clippers for PT's chest hair, but the man with the best mullet in the sport was playing possum as he came out to the ring. He was finally looking and feeling better, and he gave young Muscle a fight. He tried to put PT away with the Muscle Buster, but PT escaped and hit a kick to the midsection and the Mustache Ride for the 1-2-3. PT with the victory as the crowd went wild and celebrated his triumph over the odds in this E1.
Winner: Magnum PT via Mustache Ride -> Pin -> Magnum PT[3]
Magnum PT: Don't EVER underestimate your opponent Chief. I may have been down, but I wasn't out. I'm still here. I'm still standing. I live! I breathe! The 80's will never die. Bravado will never die. The mullet will never die. The Weekend Wrecking Crew will never die, and neither will MAGNUM PT!
Apple Kid: A rousing speech! Well done PT!
Larry Grim: Happy to see him triumphant and on his feet. He's been through a lot. The chest hair is safe.
Makoto Angel: ...I can think of one person who wishes the mullet would die. I'm just saying.
7. E1 Climax Block A: Trevor Mach[7] vs. Sal Paradise[6]
-Mach and Paradise were up next. These two make magic together on a regular basis in the past, but a lot had changed since then, so the pressure was on. Quick feeling out process lead to an Paradise headlock. Rope run and a block, then another by Mach. Quick reversals. A scoop slam by Mach created some separation. Rope run and a knee by Mach, followed by a vertical suplex for two. Scissors by Mach. Paradise escaped and both guys got to their feet. DDT by Mach, but Paradise rolled through. Paradise ducked a swing by Mach and threw some rights. Paradise leaned on Mach in a corner, then hit a backbreaker. He covered for two. Paradise covered on Mach near the rope, but Mach broke. Paradise tried a suplex but Mach thwarted it and put Paradise on the apron. Paradise charged in but Mach hit a lariat. Strikes and a body slam by Mach. Back body drop by Mach. Paradise got dumped outside, and Trevor yelled for him to get back in. Back in, Mach hit a corner lariat and some strikes. Busaiku Knee by Mach got two. Trevorplex! was thwarted and after a few reversals, Paradise hit a cutter and both guys fell to the mat. Paradise hit a springboard forearm for two. Paradise hit a few chops and Trevor went to a corner and bashed his head in a pad to fire himself up, but bashing Sal with a headbutt. More back and forth action, but it wasn't long before Trevor fired up and tried to put down Sal Bushido style. He landed hard knees in the clinch, but Paradise escaped the Trevorplex! and hit a Sling Blade. Sal went for the Perfect Sky, but Trevor put his knees up. Sal tried to fight back to his feet, but Trevor trapped him in a Bulldog Choke. Sal fought to try and escape it, but he could not get to the ropes, no matter how hard he struggled. He eventually passed out, and the ref called for the bell.
Winner: Trevor Mach via Bulldog Choke -> Referee Stoppage -> Trevor Mach[9]
Apple Kid: Wow! What a great match! Trevor is helping up Sal and trying to carry him to the back, but Paradise is trying to stand on his own. Mach is rally the crowd behind him. That's respect. There two make a lot of jokes, but they've been through a lot together, and it was great to see Sal back in action. Is this going to be a full time return for him, or if this was just one last E1 run for the People's Choice. We have Makoto in the crowd now. Why? Well, because he's going to get straight to the source to find out who everyone thinks is going to win the E1 Climax! Hit it Makoto!
Makoto Angel: Makoto Angel here, and I'm out in the crowd to ask the fans about who they think is going to win this wild and exciting E1 Climax! Sir what's your name?
?: I'd rather not say. I have warrants.
Makoto Angel: Oh. Well...who do you think is going to win the E1?
?: w00t. The guy has a devious mind...like me.
Makoto Angel: Dear me, well let's move onto this rather...rotund fellow...I like your jorts, your tight shirt, and your replica belt. What's your name?
Mark: Mark! I've got a title belt on my shoulder so I'm cool, AND I'm from Saturn City! These two factors ensure I'll be elbow deep in pussy tonight!
Makoto Angel: By Jupiter! Uh...who do you think is going to win?
Mark: ZYRO-K BEY-BEEEY! I love saying BEY-BEY when he says BEY-BEY! I INSTINCTIVELY SAY IT! DID I MENTION I'M FROM SATURN CITY! THIS IS THE PLACE THAT I LIVE! POPOPOPOPOPOPOP!
Makoto Angel: Wow. Uh...what about you...identical looking man?
Mark: My name is ALSO Mark, and my belt spins! Also, I'm from Saturn City POPOPOPOPOPOP!

8. E1 Climax Block B: Tack Angel[8] vs. Hazen[8]
-Main event time, as Tack came out and tried to immediately knock Hazen down, but couldn’t do it. Hazen eventually got the upper hand and stood on Tack while using the ropes for leverage. Tack eventually mounted a comeback and hit a DDT. They went to the floor and Hazen tossed Tack into the guardrail. Tack fired back inside the ring and dropped an elbow. He went for the WRIST CLUTCH, but Hazen countered it into an Islander drop. Tack went for another WRIST CLUTCH, but Hazen countered it into a clothesline. He then hit a Death Valley Driver sans WRIST CLUTCH, but Tack kicked out at the last second. Tack let the kicks fly and kicked Hazen hard in the dome with a right kick and the WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver. 1-2-3! Tack Angel with the win. Finally, a win over Hazen for the Pushpin Seraphim.
Winner: Tack Angel via Wrist Clutch Angel Driver -> Pin -> Tack Angel[10]
Makoto Angel: HE DID IT! YES! Awesome! You did it baby!
Apple Kid: A good win for Tack, and now he has secured his spot in the Semi-Finals of the E1 Climax. IN THE DOME we will see Tack Angel taking on World Champion Zyro Kurogane in one match, and the other will see Trevor Mach take on w00t. Are you freaking kidding me?! That's insane, and it's all on one show. The winner of each match will also face off in the main event! Think of the possibilities! This is going to be an insane E1 Climax Finale inside of the Saturn Dome, and you will NOT want to miss the thrilling conclusion to this epic war! We'll see you on XP for the final stop on the way to the SATURN DOME!
