Announcer: Big night for EBW brings a big Aftermath! EBW survived Bushido, but took some heavy losses, with three belts going to WAR. The main titles remained in EBW hands though, and the EBW World Champion and Infinity Division Champion had something to say about that...



Nerma: Nerma here with-

Camilo Ortega: Nerma if I may. The two pillars of EBW are still standing. We're still holding up the company and protecting it from the WAR infection. I walk the Path of Heaven while Firebrand X embraced his inner hell and we fought back the shadows and fallen angels. I think we have both earned the right to decide who is next and we have decided that on Xcite we're going title for title. The two best will collide and show WAR what good sportsmanship and respect really are. We'll push each other to the limit, but only one will be champion.

Firebrand X: We were both in wars tonight, but we still want more. I vanquished Jigoku Gundan with the help of the Infinity Division, but this next step I do on my own. I will face the EBW World Champion and the whole world will see a true championship match. WAR.....take notes.

Nerma: Oh my! This is huge news! Camilo Ortega and Firebrand X will do battle on the next Xcite! You can't miss this!

----------

Announcer: The biggest shock of the night came after the show, when Amy Angel revealed to Tack Angel that she was pregnant with his child. The two were frantic before, but cooler heads prevailed and the couple spent the rest of the evening walking in the park...



Tack Angel: Remember when we had our first date? We came here and stood in this very spot.

Amy Angel: Yes, it was one of the first times in a long time that I was really happy.

Tack Angel: Between then and now a lot has happened, but I'm looking at you here and loving you just as much if not more. I just wish this thing between WAR and EBW didn't have to be so chaotic.

Amy Angel: Tack, I'm sorry. I never did want to make this hard on you. I was pulled by my desire for revenge, but in the process I fell in love with you. I had intended to juggle my personal life with my business and keep them separate-

Tack Angel: Just like Trevor Mach intended to help our marriage by firing me. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

Amy Angel: I don't think anything Trevor Mach does involves GOOD intentions, but I know that I'm sorry for everything and-

Tack Angel: You don't have to apologize anymore, it's alright. I can't imagine the hatred that's motivated you all this time, but I love you and I'll love our baby, and as a family we'll stick through it all together.

Amy Angel: We could still run away Tack, it's not too late. I mean I let thing escalate because I knew with the baby coming we needed to think about our family, and now that we're both on WAR our contracts are tied to the fate of WAR. If we lost then our family would lose. I just let it get out of hand and-

Tack Angel: No....no running. We do what we have to for our family, I might not understand all of what's been going on, but I'll accept it and move forward. You just have to understand that I meant what I said when we got married, I'll follow you anywhere.....my life is yours.....so let's do this together for our family.

Amy Angel: Tack.....

Lucca: Paula, what the fuck did you do tonight?



Paula: I corrected a wrong.

Lucca: By committing an even more heinous one?

Paula: That's only in the eyes of the beholder. And in my eyes, it was a beautiful thing.

Lucca: Do you even have a conscience anymore? Heather Mach could have been seriously injured or worse.

Paula: Don't tease.

Lucca: You are a monster.

Paula: *Smirking* I know.

*Paula now begins to leave as Lucca mutters under her breath...*

Lucca: *Muttering* Damn you, Paula, damn you to hell.

Paula: What was that?! *Walks up and gets in Lucca's face.*

Lucca: Pardon?

Paula: What the fuck did you just say about me?

Lucca: Nothing.

Paula: That's what I thought.

*Paula now turns to leave again, but then quickly turns back and knees Lucca hard in the midsection. Lucca crumbles to the ground on her knees, holding her midsection. Paula now tells her....*

Paula: You may not like me or my actions, but you will respect me enough to not talk about me behind my back. GOT IT?!

*Lucca just nods her head slightly, while still in pain. Paula now tells her....*

Paula: Good.

*Paula now leaves as the scene fades to a close from there.*



Mr. Lu: So that's my decision on this whole situation between you and ABC, ladies.

Double K: THAT'S NOT FAIR!

Mr. Lu: I think it is. Especially since you were warned that the Front Necklock was an illegal chokehold before. That makes your victory at BREAKDOWN null and void.

Double K: DAMN IT!

Mr. Lu: Which means ABC will be getting the SPARKLE Twin Star Title Match on SPARKLE MAX this week.

Double K: DOUBLE DAMN IT!

Mr. Lu: I am sorry, but my decision is final.

Kei Akiyama: Then I guess you won't be needing us at SPARKLE MAX cause me and Kayla are gonna boycott this show in protest.

Kayla Sparkz: Yeah.

Mr. Lu: That's fair enough, I think. Just don't even think about interfering in the title match either on MAX. I'll be watching you two. Got it?

Double K: WE GOT IT!

Mr. Lu: Good.

Double K: GOOD BYE! *Double K now leave Mr. Lu's office*

Mr. Lu: *Sighs* I swear I hate this job sometimes.

*The scene now fades out to a close.*

Venus: Ladies and gentlemen, since Lucca can't be here to announce the next SPARKLE MAX card, I will do it. So here it is....

Announcer: Tack Angel's firing and subsequent hiring by WAR has been tough on EBW, but it appears to be toughest on the man that fired him Trevor Mach...



Trevor Mach: *sigh*

Lady M's: Trevor.

Trevor Mach: AH! Oh shit! What did you see?!

Lady M's: Nothing! I totally didn't see you sulking about Tack being with WAR now. You can stop trying to burn the picture evidence.

Trevor Mach: The damn drawer wouldn't open!

Lady M's: Trevor, what's bothering you? You brought this all on yourself by firing Tack.

Trevor Mach: I KNOW! I thought I was doing the right thing and helping him with his marriage but....but....but....

Lady M's: But what?

Trevor Mach: I MISS MY BUDDY!

Lady M's: *sigh* You know, you've still got a wife....standing right here....begrudgingly willing to talk about this with you.....very begrudgingly.

Trevor Mach: Yeah, but it's different. Tack and I always got into cheeky shenanigans! Whenever we do anything it normally ends with bruises, fire, and drunken debauchery.

Lady M's: ......I'm not seeing a problem with any of that.

Trevor Mach: *sigh*

Lady M's: .....So what are you doing anyways? Reminiscing?

Trevor Mach: What?! Here at work?! No way! I'm remembering!

Lady M's: *groan* No, reminiscing means....you know what never mind.

Trevor Mach: Just looking at some old pictures. Wanna join me?

Lady M's: No.

Trevor Mach: Will you anyway?

Lady M's: Of course, cause I'm a sucker.

Trevor Mach: Yes, but you're my favorite flavor of sucker....uh...."Taliberry".

Lady M's: Would you just show me the pictures already!

Trevor Mach: Right! Here!

Lady M's: Hmmm....I'm in this one.

Trevor Mach: That's when we all went to go see Rocky Horror!

Lady M's: I don't remember that.

Trevor Mach: You were blitzed that night. We got into a bar fight after the show and you took off some biker's ear.

Lady M's: That explains the ear on the dresser. Now wait....what's the story with this one?!



Trevor Mach: Oh that! That's from that one time we went on that cross country road trip to Fun World.

Lady M's: I definitely think I should remember that.

Trevor Mach: It was pretty crazy.

Lady M's: I would guess that yes! Is that a mushroom cloud behind you?!

Trevor Mach: HAHA! Yep!

Lady M's: Fantastic. What else you got?

Trevor Mach: Not much as I burned most of the pictures when you walked in. Oh, I do have this one though. Highschool photo album!

Lady M's: Holy shit.....I remember this.....you guys....were something else.



Lady M's: Yikes.

Trevor Mach: I know right!? Tack was going through a phase.

Lady M's: I meant...nevermind again....so wait....you guys look straight out of the 80's here, but we weren't in High School in the 80's....when was this again?

Trevor Mach: .....1999.

Lady M's *groan* Oh yeah.

Trevor Mach: *sigh* Good times.

Lady M's: Well that's subjective really but, I guess I get how you feel. Well Trevor, what are you going to do about this?

Trevor Mach: I don't know. I'll hopefully come up with something for Xcite.

-



Tracy: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!



Mr. Lu: Huh?

Tracy: WHY AM I JERKING THE CURTAIN TONIGHT?!

Mr. Lu: Oh, because I figured you would be want to see what happens later tonight instead getting ready to wrestle.

Tracy: What do you mean?

Mr. Lu: What I mean is, Zoe Malibu VS Melanie Cruise tonight is now a Top Contender's Match, with the winner facing you for the Shining Star Championship belt at the next iPPV called JUDGMENT DAY.

Tracy: You can't do that.

Mr. Lu: Sure I can, cause I just did.

Tracy: Damn you, Lu, damn you.

Mr. Lu: *Sighs* Just go to the ring for your match, Tracy.

Tracy: Fine. *Tracy now leaves for the match*

*The scene now fades to a close and the opening video package now plays...*

[url=0QKfPulSu2s]SPARKLE MAX OPENING THEME[/url]

1.) Tracy didn't take this match very seriously, and it almost led to Jenny James pinning her. As a direct result of that, Tracy nails Jenny James in the head with the Shining Star Championship belt for the DQ. 2 STARS

*After the match, Tracy continued to beat down Jenny James, eventually laying her out with the Tik-Tak (Zig-Zag). Tracy then posed with the belt on the stage, as the crowd boos her loudly. The scene then faded to the back, with Jenny James clearly upset about the beating she just took from Tracy.

Lucca was walking backstage, when a familar voice calls out to her.....*

Voice: LUCCA!

Lucca: WHAT?! WHO'S THERE?!

Voice: It's just......me.



Lucaa: The Great Mura?!

Nanimur: No, it's just Nanimura.

Lucca: I see.

Nanimura: Can I speak to you and Mr. Lu, in private?

Lucca: Sure, what's going on?

Nanimura: Well I'll get to that.....*Nanimura and Lucca now leave together to find Mr. Lu.*

*The scene now fades out to a close*

2.) The second match of the evening featured Nikki Roox taking on Janice in a singles match. Roxx dominated Janice for much of the match, but Janice did try to mount a comeback. It was stopped dead in it's track when Janice went for a Crossbody off the top turnbuckle, but Roxx caught her in mid-air with a dropkick! Roxx then nailed Janice with the Barbie Crusher (Voodoo Crusher) for the sure pinfall, but Roxx stopped pinfall at two. Roxx now locks Janice in the same Ankle Lock she put Ariel in at BREAKDOWN for the submission victory. 3 STARS

*After the match, Rayne and Ariel came down to the ringside area and enter the ring, as Nikki Roxx just stares a hole through them both. Rayne now takes the mic....*



Rayne: Roxx, we are not hear to fight you. Not tonight. And what Ariel said at BREAKDOWN was completely true. We were paid alot of money to screw you over at THE BIG BANG!

Ariel: I am sorry, I did it too. I needed the money. I had no choice.

Nikki Roxx: That's a bunch of bullshit and you know it, Ariel.

Ariel: OH REALLY?! I DIDN'T LEAVE YOU HIGH AND DRY ON THE STREETS TO GO WRESTLE SOUTH OF THE BORDER FOR LUCHA LIBRE, DID I?!

Nikki Roxx: It didn't happen like that.

Ariel: BULLSHIT! You are not the nice person everybody says you are, Nikki. Cause you've always been a lone wolf. You never wanted to have friends in wrestling, you just wanted allies to help you in your fight against Rayne and Beautiful People. And after that ended, you ditched us and left for Lucha Libre. NOW TELL ME I AM WRONG?!

Nikki Roxx: I....You.....goddamn it.

Ariel: SEE! I AM RIGHT!

Nikki Roxx: But being right still doesn't give you the right to screw me over like you and Rayne did. You are just as guilty as me of being a bad friend.

Ariel: But at least, I got paid better than you ever did.

Nikki Roxx: AND WHO PAID YOU?!

Ariel: .........

Nikki Roxx: TELL ME NOW!

Rayne: You really wanna know that answer, don't you Roxx?

Nikki Roxx: Yes, I do. Cause as soon I am done kicking both of your asses, her ass is next on my "shit to kick" list.

Rayne: Why not kick all three in one night?

Nikki Roxx: What do you mean?

Rayne: Well you see, I've talk to our benefactor and they are ready to make their presence felt. So all you have to do agree to meet all three of us in the ring at JUDGMENT DAY in a Gauntlet Match.

Nikki Roxx: So let me get this straight, I beat both of you bitches at the iPPV and your benefactor will show their face and face me in the ring at JUDGMENT DAY?

Rayne: Yes.

Nikki Roxx: Then I accept.

Rayne: Excellent. We'll tell HER the good news then.

*The scene now fades out to a close from there*



Jenny James: WHERE THE HELL WERE MY DAWGS AT?!

Lady M's: First off, we ain't a pair of canines at your beck and call. And secondly, we were getting ready for our tag match later on, it is kinda important.

Jessica: Yeah sis, me and Lady M's are defending our SPARKLE Twin Star Championship belts for the first time tonight.

Jenny James: OH! I SEE HOW IT IS NOW! SO YOU ARE JUST LEAVE YOUR BIG SISTER HIGH AND DRY FROM NOW ON!

Jessica: Oh come on, it's not like that and you know it. Lady M's saved you at BREAKDOWN!

Lady M's: I did. And you're welcome.

Jenny James: *Walks up to Lady M's and tells her...* Fuck.....you.

Lady M's: Sorry, I don't do favors, dawg.

Jenny James: THAT'S IT, I'M OUTTA HERE! Good luck to you both tonight. *Storms off in anger*

Lady M's: Thanks...I think. What her problem?

Jessica: As I said before, my sister is difficult at times. But she'll get over it and understand. Besides we need to concentrate on our defense tonight.

Lady M's: Yes, we do. So I will ask you now, Jessica.....are you ready?!

Jessica: Yes.

Lady M's: No Jessica, I said ARE YOU READY?!

Jessica: YES!

Lady M's: Good.

*The scene now fades out to a close*

3.) Zoe Malibu and Melanie Cruise met for the Top Contendership and right to face Tracy for the Shining Star Championship belt at JUDGMENT DAY. Zoe and Melanie engaged in another classic encounter as they have had in the past, Zoe Malibu went for the Tidal Wave (Superfly style Flying Splash) early on and Cruise got her knees up. Melanie Cruise then measured Zoe and kicked her head off with a running big boot. Cruise made the cover but Zoe kicked out at two! Cruise went for the Cruise Control (Batista style Spinebuster Slam), but Zoe countered by dropkicking her in the face during the lift. Both ladies laid on the mat and Tracy ran down ringside. Tracy now pulls the ref out of the ring during his 10 count attempt and lays him out with the title belt. Afterwards, Zoe Malibu eventually was able to hit Malibu with the Tidal Wave, after blocking Superplex attempt by Cruise. But instead of counting the pinfall, the recovered ref called for the bell and declared the match a NO CONTEST! 3 STARS

*After the match, both Zoe Malibu and Melanie Cruise argued with the referee about the decision as Tracy, just smiled from the ramp, happy with her actions tonight.*



Venus: Hey folks, I am here with Paula. Please don't hurt me.

Paula: Don't worry, Venus. As long as you show me some respect, I won't even touch you.

Venus: I understand.

Paula: That's good. Cause here is what's gonna happen in a few moments....you are gonna go out to the ring and you are gonna stand there and look dumb and pretty as you always do. Then I am gonna come out and explain my recent actions. GOT IT?!

Venus: REALLY?!

*Paula just give Venus a death stare as if to tell her "don't push your luck" and Venus immeadiatly says....*

Venus: Yes, I got it. *Venus now leaves the scene*

Paula: Good. Very good indeed. *Paula now leaves, following Venus.

*The scene now fades to a close from there.

And just like Paula told her to do, Venus immediately enters the ring and tells the crowd....*

Venus: Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce.....Paula.

*Paula now walks out to a chorus of boos. She now enters the ring and forcibly takes the mic from Venus....*



Paula: For a few weeks now, everybody has been wondering why I've been the things I've been doing to Heather Mach. As I stated before.....I HATE THE MACH FAMILY! *Crowd Boos loudly*

Paula: Boo all you want, because it won't change that. You see the Mach Family has taken everything for MY family. Let's wind back to the clock to the beginning of it all.....you know when my husband, Ness, was the silent protagonist and the big star of the wrestling world. But that all changed eventually, when a goofball magician dressed all in white debuted. This idiot was the future Trevor Mach. And from that day forward, he stole the spotlight from the my brother. He took everything that made this company great to begin with away from the founders who build it up. AND PEOPLE LOVED HIM FOR IT! YOU DRANK HIS KOOL-AID AND JUST ASKED FOR MORE! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT FUCKING SHEEP! *Crowd boos more loudly*

Paula: Now fast forward to the present and history was doomed to repeat itself. Heather Mach debuts in the company and immediately she win the Women's World Championship in her first match. WHAT DOES DID THAT BITCH EVER PAY?! SHE PAID NONE! SHE GOT THE BELT BECAUSE SHE WAS A MACH! Granted, I helped her a little bit. But she was still given that title shot by Tali Mach, Trevor's wife. And that never sat well with me, I regretted it. ALOT. So I righted that wrong, by costing her the Title Unification Match at THE BIG BANG! And u know what, I would do it again! IN A HEARTBEAT! *Crowd boos loudly*

Paula: CAUSE THAT BELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE! I've been here since the beginning and I've NEVER been champion! I've had to sit idly by and watch undeserving people like Heather Mach win it. And yes, it does eat at me.....A LITTLE BIT! I GET NO RESPECT FROM ANYBODY! *Crowd boos loudly*

Paula: Thanks for proving my point. And that's okay, cause from now on, YOU WILL RESPECT ME! Cause if you don't, I AM JUST GONNA TAKE IT BY FORCE! Just like I took out Heather Mach at BREAKDOWN! You know what, it felt REALLY GOOD to do that to her! I enjoyed it.....ALOT! Just like I am gonna enjoy THIS.....

*Paula now levels Venus with the Starstruck (Superkick) for no reason. Paula now tells the crowd as she points at the out cold Venus....*

Paula: SO NOW YOU CAN RESPECT THAT TOO!

*Paula now drops the mic on the mic and leaves the ring, as the EMTS come out to check on Venus.

The scene now fades to a close from there.*

4.) It was now time for the main event of the evening with the SPARKLE Twin Star Champions, Lady M's and Jessica, defending the gold against the controversial top contenders, ABC. As everybody might remember, ABC has a history with Lady M's, dating back to the Rufus Poochyfud days. And because of the history, ABC isolated Jessica for much of the match. But Jessica refused to go down easily and fought back against the both of them. Eventually she was able to duck a double team clothesline attempt and nail both with double dropkick. Jessica then crawled to corner for the hot tag to Lady M's, but Miss April grabbed her foot. Jessica kicked her off and jumped and made the tag! Lady M's was then a house of fire and took out both Miss April and Brooke Carter to the outside with a double clothesline. Jessica then ran at Lady M's and she elevated Jessica over her head and onto ABC with a huge plancha attack! As the referee checked on all three ladies, Jenny James ran into the ring from the crowd and leveled M's from behind with a chain shot to the back of the head. Jenny James then lays out M's completely with the Throwdown (FU/Attitude Adjustment) and quickly leaves the ring and hides at ringside. Brooke Carter now holds off Jessica on the outside as Miss April returns to the ring and stalks Lady M's from behind. Miss April now nails Lady M's with the Face Breaking Finish (Skull Crushing Finale) for the victory! ABC are now the NEW SPARKLE Twin Star Champions! 4 STARS

*After the match, ABC celebrates their title victory, as Jessica checks on Lady M's in the ring. Jenny James is now shown smirking about the turn of events from ringside. Jessica apparently saw none of her sister's interference. What will she think when she does though?

The show now fades to a final close from there on that note.*

Announcer: EBW is facing the fall out from Bushido in a big way. Following the reveal about Amy Taylor's true identity and her baby on the way, neither her nor Tack have been seen since. WAR is keeping tight lipped on their whereabouts or what their plans are for Xcite. What we CAN tell you is that WAR is making some big moves and changes reflecting their performance at Bushido. Jigoku Gundan is truly done in EBW, as all the contracts except for Hotlanta's are not being renewed. However, Hotlanta declined to appear for his contract talks so his future may be in doubt. He's booked for a match on Xcite, but if he doesn't show it could signal the end of Hot's EBW run. Speaking of Xcite, the fight between EBW and WAR pushes on, with Troy and Swift battling it out again, a 2/3 Falls Tag Match between SURGE Generation and Little Mac and Maurice, a Tag Team #1 Contender match, and of course the big Champion vs. Champion showdown between Camilo Ortega and Firebrand X. A huge match on free TV, and you want to miss it!

Dear Parasites,

The air has been different. The world and mother nature, slowly dying away with the season. Your senses succumb to the change, no? And with that change... I change.

It is the season of the witch soon; Samhain is near! And then the inhuman life around us dies, but do most people really take time to think about that? Of course not. But the one's who do listen to the whispers in the air on these unworldly nights, we will know the true power of this season.

Dark nights ahead, how I look forward to thee.

Announcer: Changes continue behind the scenes following Bushido. We've just recently learned that Infinity Division veteran Generator is retiring from full time competition to help with developing The Wrestling. Following his move, the disappearance of Hotlanta, and the exit of Jigoku Gundan, the Division finds itself severely depleted. What steps will EBW take in this matter, and will WAR work to bring their influence back to the Infinity Division?

----------

Announcer: The Boss Trevor Mach continues to find his personal and professional lives in turmoil following recent decisions and moves made by WAR. The stress is building up and it's.....starting to take a toll....

Lady M's: Trevor, I'm home! If the cops show up I've been home all day and....what....is going on here?



Trevor Mach: Oh hello darling! Would you like some hot chocolate? I got the little marshmallows and everything!

Lady M's: What is going on here? What's with that picture?

Trevor Mach: Oh! Well since Tack moved out I figured I'd tidy the place up a bit. I feel the picture really brings the room together. You hungry? I made fudge.

Lady M's: Are you on drugs Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Honey, I have decided to get in touch with my emotional side. It's time to start doing things differently. In fact, I want to make amends with Tack and Amy Angel ASAP. I figured we could get them a late wedding present, perhaps they got registered at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Lady M's: Bed, Bath, and what now?

Trevor Mach: I think if we came together to hammer out our differences we could make a real breakthrough. Oh, perhaps a team building weekend out in the woods and-

Lady M's: Stop it.....just stop it.

Trevor Mach: Honey bunny, what's wrong? You can tell me about your feelings and -

*SLAP!*

Trevor Mach: *GASP*

Lady M's: I'm sorry I had to do that but....actually never mind I'm not sorry. I kind of enjoyed that.

Trevor Mach: So did I. Thanks babe I needed that. I don't know what came over me.

Lady M's: Trevor, you're losing it, as fun as that normally is it's just sad right now. This isn't you, and this isn't how you handle things. You've been lost for a long time and you've got to figure out how to fix this.

Trevor Mach: Maybe you could tell me how to-

Lady M's: YOU'VE got to figure out how to fix this.

Trevor Mach: You're right! I know just what to do. Thanks Tali. Now maybe you could do me one more favor.

Lady M's: What would that be?

Trevor Mach: Try this fudge! I made it myself!

Lady M's: *sigh*

-



Firebrand X: Tonight is the night, where the chosen will fight to determine the master of the ring in which we do constant battle. The question is how will I go about my greatest moment....behind the mask or....do I let the demon play? Maybe I should ask him?

Demonbrand: You've got a lot of nerve you know that? The Demon doesn't play, the demon maims, hurts, and destroys the wicked!

Firebrand X: Yeah, but isn't that your definition of fun?

Demonbrand: Touche.

Firebrand X: Tonight one us is going to face the man who walks the path of Heaven. The so called ruler of all. We respect him, but just how badly do we need to beat him?

Demonbrand: Maliciously....nothing personal of course.....

Firebrand X: You're rather bloodthirsty aren't you?

Demonbrand: The blood of Shadow and Jigoku Gundan was far from enough to satisfy me! I want more!

Firebrand X: Yeah, but that means your judgement is clouded. I on the other hand am focused, calm, and ready for the throne.

Demonbrand: You're not vicious enough to beat this man!

Firebrand X: You're too vicious!

Doctor Degrees: Um....what is going on here?

Firebrand X: Doctor, I was just having a chat.

Doctor Degrees: With who? Yourself? Oh I get it, prerecorded thing and-

Demonbrand: Who dares to interrupt us?!

Doctor Degrees: EH!?

Firebrand X: It's the Doctor, he means us no harm.

Demonbrand: Hasn't stopped me in the past!

Doctor Degrees: Wait. How is this happening?! I thought....are you talking to yourself.....for real?!

Firebrand X: Doctor, you're a man of science, think about this logically.

Demonbrand: It's just your imagination!

Doctor Degrees: Right.....I'm going to go lay down.

Firebrand X: It's decided. I will be the one....I will be the one.



Halloween is right around the corner, and the Hardcore special is sure to please, but this evening would see one of the bigger matches in recent history on free television, as Camilo Ortega the EBW World Champion and Firebrand X the Infinity Division Champion would lock horns to see which would grab all the gold and stand atop the wrestling world. Both EBW and WAR would be standing by, watching closely to see who would become the symbol to either celebrate or destroy...

-The opening contest meant to get the show rolling never happened, as Bolshoi's opponent Hotlanta never showed up. Instead the clown of the Infinity Division juggled on his unicycle to the delight of the crowd. Not really a match though unfortunately. N/A Stars

Nerma: Nerma here with the EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega, who tonight will-

Trevor Mach: HOLD IT!

Nerma: Trevor?!

Trevor Mach: The Boss is back! Sorry I'm late, I bought a Prius and those things suck so I traded in for my old bike.

Nerma: Why would YOU get a Prius?

Trevor Mach: Mental instability brings poor decisions.

Camilo Ortega: To what do I owe the pleasure Boss?

Trevor Mach: Ortega, I know that you and Firebrand have a big match tonight, but I'm looking ahead to Hardcore Halloween and I need YOU to follow me to the ring right now. I've got announcements to make.

Nerma: About what?

Trevor Mach: About Hardcore Halloween, about EBW, and....about my future.

Trevor Mach went out to the ring followed by Camilo Ortega, Firebrand X, Amigo, and Kinniku Mike.

Trevor Mach: Amy Angel, you and your husband, and your WAR lackeys need to get your asses out here right now!

Amy Angel: Say no more Trevor, I got everyone together the moment you showed your smug stupid face.

Trevor Mach: Sticks and stones Amy. Heya Tack, looking rather bleak and apathetic over there.

Tack Angel: .....What do you want Trevor?

Trevor Mach: So...that's how it is? Bun in the oven changes a man eh?

Tack Angel: No, a supposed friend firing me changes things. Besides, WAR is starting to make a lot of sense to me.

Trevor Mach: Good for you Tack, but we can hash all this out later. I'm here for another reason.

Amy Angel: Will you please get to it because I was happy thinking that you had a mental breakdown and ran off.

Trevor Mach: I DID have a mental breakdown, but I ain't going anywhere bitch!

Tack Angel: HEY! You're talking about my wife Trevor!

Trevor Mach: Yes....yes I am. So, I bet you're all wondering what I'm here for and what I plan to do? I've had some hectic times with DA essentially killing me and THEN causing me some brain and nerve damage. Bummer yes, but I got over it. My hands shake from time to time and the memory ain't what it used to be, BUT let's not dwell. I'm here now because I decided that I'm not living my life the way I want and I'm not going to run or hide from my problems any longer. I'm the Boss BUT I belong in this ring with guys like Ortega, Firebrand, Amigo, Mike, and the rest of our super swanky roster! We have a fight going on in EBW, and I intend to roll up my sleeves again and get involved!

Amy Angel: Trevor, are you out of your mind? You're a mess!

Trevor Mach: Yes I am and yes I am, but I'll die in this ring or in some other hideously self destructive way before I'll roll over and give up! This is what I'm proposing. Hardcore Halloween is next week and this is what I want. Team EBW vs. Team WAR! Camilo's team....and me, against the rest....I mean best of WAR. 5 on 5 Tag! No Rules! Challenge laid down!

Amy Angel: And challenge accepted! You're going to pay for this one.

Trevor Mach: I always do. BOOSH!

-Singles match between EBW and WAR saw Swift and Troy continue their struggle for dominance, as the WAR Muscle found himself on the ropes until an assist from Little Mac tripped up Swift, who ate a Punt Kick before getting pinned. Swift chased Mac off and brawled with Troy some more after the match. Both fighters now have a win a piece. ***Stars

-Kinniku Mike and Amigo battled new Maelstrom Openweight Champion Maurice and Little Mac in a 2/3 Falls match. Swift arrived on the scene early still trying to chase Little Mac, and that left Maurice on his own against his old SURGE Generation brothers. They took turns on the attack to the delight of the crowd, with Amigo hitting a German Suplex Pin to seal the deal on fall 1. By the time Little Mac made it back into the ring he tagged himself in to get away from Swift, but backed right into Mike who hit the Blue Ocean Sonoko Bomb and pinned him for 2 pins in a row. Solid effort from the EBW team. ***Stars

-3 teams squared off for the #1 Contender spot of the EBW Tag Team Champions. Jet Set Future had a lot riding on the match also involving the odd couple team of Degrees/Daman and Generation Gimmie. High energy action that saw Switchback take the win for his team following a Rolling SSP on Rex Ratz. Sal and Jamie got involved after the match to "congratulate" the new #1 Contenders. ***1/2 Stars

-It was main event time as Firebrand X, the Infinity Division Champion tried to cap off an amazing rookie year by becoming the first person to hold both the Infinity and World titles at the same time. He noticed a a strange trio had taken seats next to the entrance ramp. Three men in masks looking like a lion, a scorpion, and a ram. They all slowly applauded as FBX went to meet his destiny against the EBW World Champ. Both men bowed in a show of respect as the pre-match ceremony got underway. Both belts were on the line in this contest, so both men gave it everything they had. They did some chain wrestling during the early stages of the month and Camilo got a rollup for a 1 count. They went to a test of strength. Both men took turns on the advantage and ended up holding their hands at the same time for a double pin. Both men began exchanging pinning combinations. They both went for a dropkick at the same came and came to a stalemate and the crowd roared as they regrouped. The crowd chanted for both men as they squared off again in the middle of the ring. They exchanged blows in the ring and Camilo ended up on the outside. Firebrand went for a dive, but Camilo nailed him with a kick to the head as he came through the ropes. Camilo tried to get back into the ring, but Firebrand nailed him with a kick and hit a huge dive to the outside. Firebrand maintained the advantage and worked over Camilo inside the ring. Camilo fired back a short time later with a basement dropkick and went after Firebrand's knee, but FBX retaliated and drove Camilo’s leg right into the mat. Both men began exchanging forearms and chops. They battled for position near the ropes, but Camilo nailed him with an enzuguri and he fell to the apron. Camilo went for a submission attempt, but Firebrand scrambled to the outside of the ring, jumped onto the top rope and fire Camilo into a corner with a missile dropkick. Firebrand tried to go high risk with a Phoenix Splash, but Camilo met him halfway and hit a dropkick of his own. Both men got back to their feet for a stare down. Just as they were both about to attack the three men in the crowd rushed into the ring and took out both Camilo and Firebrand. The classic in the making had to be rendered a No Contest. N/A Stars

Ness and Amy both rushed out to point fingers, but it appeared that the three masked men were not affiliated with either group. Who were they are why stop the title for title match?

Firebrand, dear friend, after we deal with WAR and those masked bastards, I would be honoured to have a rematch with you to finally resolve who is best pro wrestler in all Earthbound.

-



w00t: So we're in bad shape these days. Staying in the parking lot has helped keep costs low and make us a little bit of money. Chu Chu and Simon Stuart were going to be my big names to start really breaking through, and we got some national exposure at Bushido. Problem is thanks to Simon Stuart rejoining his "family" so to speak in Amy Angel nee Taylor nee Stuart, we are now without our championships, and WAR is looking to keep the pressure on until it all belongs to them.



Amy Angel: The Wrestling, I bet you guys are starting to come around to our point of view now. I mean just look at what my brother has done in such a short time. He's moved beyond to hold two belts. Mike Ishijima and RA were floundering but WAR has given them new life and tag titles. You follow me and I can help bring The Wrestling to a whole new level.

w00t: I'm going to pass. I don't take orders well, especially from green haired women. It's not a sexist thing believe me, it's just a I don't want to take orders from a woman thing.

Blue Lightning: That is kind of sexist chief.

w00t: Oh.

Amy Angel: Tack and I are going to personally hang around to watch your show tonight. I've even got a couple match ideas in mind for you. We'll show you what we can do and why you should get in on the ground floor why you still have time.

w00t: Yeah, I'll lose sleep thinking this over.....NOT. Tack, I know you're hitting that and she's got your blue spawn on the way, but you're not buying into this now are you?

Tack Angel: ....Nothing to buy into w00t. It is what it is.

w00t: Grrrrreeeeeat. You and Stu are on my "not very happy with" list right now.....just so you know.

Simon Stuart: w00t, my eyes are open to what I can be. Just sit back and enjoy the show. I've got Blue Lightning tonight and I'm going to excite the crowd, put butts in the seats, and make you some money.

w00t: Oh....well that's alright I guess. I do like money after all.

----------

w00t: This whole thing with WAR has AT LEAST increased ticket sales, so it's not such a bad thing right? Right? Hello? Anyways, the show went well with some back and forth wins and losses between the teams. RA beat Fighter Daron in the opener thanks to Mike Ishijima and a Sun God Suplex. Former Champion Chu Chu began his rebound by taking out both Ratz and Karnage in a Handicap match. Onisuiken whooped on Retro Hippie and finished him off with the Oni Koroshi. Simon Stuart finished the night showing off a lot more sizzle from the steak. Flashy new moves and a flashy new attitude lead to him busting out a Sling Blade on Blue Lightning to get the win. Damn, wish he was still on our side. That kid's future keeps getting brighter.

Trevor Mach: BOOSH! Alright guys, Hardcore Halloween is next week, and while I wish I could fight with you guys tonight, you can bet your collective asses that I'll be in your corner, and fighting alongside you next week.

Firebrand X: Question. The Demon....he wants to play.....Hardcore Halloween seems like the perfect playground.

Trevor Mach: Ah Firebrand you scary sadistic mofo, that's sounds PERFECT! You do that! Mike, you slam their heads into the mat, Amigo you make em tap, and Camilo you-

Camilo Ortega: Do what I always do?

Trevor Mach: Exactly! Been awhile since I've kneed these guys in the faces. It should be fun and-

Tack Angel: Trevor. I want to talk to you.....now.

Kinniku Mike: Got guts showing up here Tack.

Trevor Mach: Whoa! Easy fellas....easy....EASY!

Amigo: We heard you the first time Trevor.

Trevor Mach: Right, just making sure. You're all a bunch of trigger happy, blood thirty psychos after all.

Amigo: I am?

Trevor Mach: What do you want Tack?

Tack Angel: I want you out of the Hardcore Halloween main event.

Trevor Mach: Now why would you want that?

Tack Angel: I don't want to have to hurt you.

Trevor Mach: HA! Just like that eh?

Tack Angel: Just like that.

Trevor Mach: What makes you think I won't hurt you first.

Tack Angel: You've been falling apart Trevor. You're a married man with the weight of a company on your shoulders. Now isn't the time or the place for you to throw it all away because you're a stubborn fool.

Trevor Mach: I think you're underestimating me Tack. I do what I have to when I have to and I won't be stopped.

Tack Angel: Is that why you fired me?

Trevor Mach: You know why I fired you. I did you favor.

Tack Angel: Yeah, well don't do me any more so called favors. You're a loose cannon, and if you're going to continue this self destructive path then I'm going to help Amy take over and replace you with management that knows what it's doing. Management that will keep EBW thriving.

Trevor Mach: Under the WAR banner?

Tack Angel: ......Yes.

Trevor Mach: Not happening Tackleton.

Tack Angel: We'll see about that.

Trevor Mach: Tack!

Tack Angel: What?

Trevor Mach: Congrats on the kid. You should totally name him Terry.

Tack Angel: What if it's a girl?

Trevor Mach: .....Terry also works for a girl.

Tack Angel: .....not happening.

Trevor Mach: Dick!



EBW moves from the fierce battles of Bushido to the bloody and violent Hardcore Halloween in short time, but tonight would see a major stop on the way complete with big announcements, and controversial matches.

-Opening match once again saw Hotlanta no show a match, this time against former champion Randy no Kachi. Kachi didn't put on a show like Bolshoi on Xcite, but he did taunt Hotlanta to come out and get the crowd fired up. Hot's music played several times, but he continues to be a no show. N/A Stars

-Hashim Al-Singh returned to the main roster as part of WAR to take on the odd trio of Daman, Degrees, and Cherub Kid. These three find themselves put together a lot, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage against veteran strikers Maurice, Mac, and Hashim. Al-Singh trapped Cherub in a Camel Clutch to force a Submission victory. *** Stars

-Swift and Troy continued their rivalry in a lengthy Falls Count Anywhere match. They barely got to the ring before leaving it to brawl through the crowd. Fans tried to throw weapons to Swift to use on Troy, but he stole their popcorn and soft drinks instead. Out near the concessions a boy in a wheel chair tried to get Troy's autograph, he tossed the picture away and rolled the boy right into Swift. Swift caught the chair and lifted the fan up to clobber Troy with the chair much to the fan's delight. A Pounce straight into a soda machine sealed the deal and Swift got the pin. Fun and crazy brawl. ****Stars

-Main event would see Team Camilo sans Trevor Mach take on Tack Angel, Little Mac pulling double duty, Sal Paradise, and Jamie OD in a very lengthy 8-Man Elimination Tag. Fans were on fire for this exciting battle between EBW and WAR on route to the even bigger fight at Hardcore Halloween. Camilo Ortega surprisingly eliminated Little Mac in very quick fashion, using the Saka-Otoshi to force a Submission. Lovekick tried to take out the EBW World Champion, but Amigo tagged himself in and suplexed them around the ring. He tried to put Sal in an Ankle Lock, but ate a Penalty Kick for his troubles and a pin. Kinniku Mike would avenge the elimination later by taking out Jamie with a Blue Ocean Sonoko Bomb. Tack had stayed out for the opening minutes, but upon seeing Trevor Mach come out to cheer the team he blind tagged himself in and chopped Kinniku Mike down with furious kicks. A double shining wizard with he and Sal Paradise lead to the TaToBa and a near fall. Firebrand tagged in for a vicious back and forth until the match was suddenly interrupted by the three masked men, ending the match in a No Contest. N/A Stars

They attacked both sides and cleared the ring. While it was an impressive display to see three men get the better of eight, the crowd still booed them for breaking up the match. Both sides looked on as these mysterious three stood in the ring.



Ness: You wanted to see me?



Amy Angel: I did, I'm glad you're here because I have a big announcement to make, and I didn't want to make it in the middle of the ring. I wanted to make it here and now.....in front of you.

Ness: Well? Out with it. Hey...Jamie what are you doing?

Jamie OD: HAHAHA! He doesn't know yet does he?! HAHAHA!

Ness: Know what? What don't I know?

Amy Angel: I'm initiating the next phase of WAR's "expansion". We're growing into our own brand and the XP Zone.....is going to become our new home.

Ness: What?!

Amy Angel: That's right. Remember who was in the office when the idea of creating the XP Zone first came up? I suggested it, and I filled out the paper work, and I filled it out in MY name, not Trevor Mach's. That means that this building belongs to WAR.

Ness: So that's how it is? Going to run us out cause you can't compete?

Amy Angel: Oh we CAN compete, and we WILL compete on even footing. We have our own building which means we have our own show. I cordially invite EBW to the debut of WAR: Xperience next week. Tack Angel will rise up as the hero I know he is to face Destroyer A.

Ness: You're crazy you know that? You're tearing this company apart, and it could be the end for all of us. You're going to be remembered as a villain.

Amy Angel: Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in WAR and understanding our values will seem the natural state of affairs. You will attack us and the people will raise up against you, claiming that you only stand for the most enduring trait in humanity, and it's trait that needs to finally be dealt with....petty self interest.

Announcer: Big news coming out of both the EBW and WAR offices today, as the two have agreed to take the new threat of the Zodiac seriously. Neither side believes they can work together in the current hostile climate, and things are bound to get even worse, but the invasion of the masked Zodiac can't be taken lightly, so solidarity must be attempted....even if it ain't looking pretty...

Amy Angel: What are YOU doing here?!

Ness: You invited us!

Amy Taylor: Oh yeah.



Ryan IQ: You wanted to talk about the Zodiac threat right? So talk.

Amy Angel: It's simple really, the Zodiac aren't looking to side with either party at the moment, and that makes them our enemies. Now, I could care less if they took out EBW-

Ness: Feeling is mutual about WAR.

Amy Angel: But I'm trying to grow a brand here and give some real stars a chance, and I won't have that if they muck up my show like they did Xcite.

Ryan IQ: So you want EBW to back you up? Funny, I don't think you would accept if the roles were reversed.

Amy Angel: Hey, this will benefit both sides here, so you don't really have a choice here.

Ness: We always have a choice, but we're going to take the high road and listen to what you have to offer.

Amy Angel: It's simple really. I'm going to invite the Zodiac in.

Ness: You're right....that is simple....and stupid....and crazy.

Amy Angel: Let me finish! If I don't invite them they will crash my entire show, but if I do invite them in and book them in a match WAR will have a chance to show them what we're made of in the ring in front of a huge audience. We embarrass them and send them packing.

Ness: So where do we fit in?

Amy Angel: I'll let you pick ONE representative to join my 3 on 3 main event. Since these guys are high fliers from the looks of it I'm sending in my newest hires Anwin and Randy no Kachi.

Ryan IQ: All I see are Judas and.....well Judas again...I can't really think of-

Ness: Benedict Arnold?

Ryan IQ: THANK YOU!

Anwin: Hey! We're just looking for our chance to shine. We don't to screw anyone over, we just want to wrestle and now we've got the chance.

Ness: Fine, our pick is obvious then. We even brought him with us. Firebrand X.

Firebrand X: I'll delve into the belly of the beast, but if you try to turn the tables on me I'll unleash the fire. Don't forget that......Anwin.

Anwin: Hey! Why me and not Randy?! Hello? Oh great, now he's ignoring me.

Ness: Well, we have it settled then.

Amy Angel: Don't think this means we're joining forces, and don't think this means our battle is over. It's just getting started and I promise that before all is said and done both EBW and Zodiac will be dealt with, and WAR will be the biggest name in professional wrestling.

Ryan IQ: Yeah yeah, well until that day comes remember what network your show is on. I've heard you made some changes to your set and show logo. I need to be filled in on the changes and any potential fire hazards or-

Amy Angel: You'll find out with the rest of the viewing audience on the next WAR: Xperience!

Ryan IQ: Fine....whatever....let's go Ness.....Trevor...you coming? Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Tack.

Tack Angel: Trevor.

Trevor Mach: That's....that's some mustache you got there.

Tack Angel: I was just about to say the same thing to you.

Trevor Mach: You....you grow that for any particular reason?

Tack Angel: ....Did you?

Trevor Mach: Don't patronize me.....do I look like a patron to you?

Tack Angel: What's your problem?

Trevor Mach: What's YOUR problem?

Tack Angel: I asked you first.

Trevor Mach: I don't care! SHAVE YOUR MUSTACHE!

Tack Angel: What?!

Trevor Mach: You heard me! You trying to copy me?!

Tack Angel: No! It's No Shave November! Besides, I had my mustache first! You're trying to copy me!

Trevor Mach: Lies! Lies and slander! Beware the false mustache!

Tack Angel: Oh now you're saying it's fake!? You're unbelievable.

Trevor Mach: It comes right off see!

Tack Angel: OW!

Trevor Mach: Huh....it's on real good isn't it?

Tack Angel: IT'S REAL YOU FOOL!

Trevor Mach: Only manly men can have a mustache that bushy!

Tack Angel: Are you really getting upset about a mustache here?

Trevor Mach: I'M ALWAYS UPSET ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS AT ALL TIMES! Right now though, I want to slap a mustached angel all around the WAR parking lot cause I hate WAR and I hate false mustaches!

Tack Angel: IT'S REAL!

Trevor Mach: Prove it! We got a Pay Per View coming up Tack! It's called Rumble City! EBW, WAR, and Zodiac are going to fight, so why don't we settle this there as well. You and me! Battle of the mustaches! Loser loses his!

Tack Angel: You're on!

Trevor Mach: Damn right you're on!

Tack Angel: I know because I said it!

Trevor Mach: I know! I heard you!

Tack Angel: I know!

Trevor Mach: I know!

Tack Angel: Then what are we yelling about?!

Trevor Mach: I don't know!

Ryan IQ: .....What the hell just happened?

Amy Angel: Your boss just signed up to get humiliated care of WAR's Pushpin Seraphim at Rumble City.

Ness: You mean Tack Angel is going to get his wings AND mustache clipped at Rumble City.

Ryan IQ: No, I mean with the mustaches....everyone trying to copy me or what?

Announcer: And so it looks like the Boss Trevor Mach and WAR's Tack Angel will compete in a battle of manly men and mustaches. Adding this to the EBW World Championship bout between Camilo Ortega and KYO, and of course the Bad Ass Rumble, this is going to be the Thanksgiving extravaganza you won't want to miss.

Announcer: In other news, SURGE Generation is looking to finally refocus and grow after the departure of Maurice to WAR. Kinniku Mike and Amigo have both become champions this year, but they both find themselves without a specific goal. They are hoping to change that and strengthen their stable with the introduction of the odd trio Antonio Daman, Cherub Kid, and Doctor Degrees. It also looks like EBW will have a new soldier added to its depleted ranks after a visit to the SURGE Generation dojo introduced a new enigmatic character.



Kinniku Mike: And so I said, so what if I'm still wearing pink? Kinniku Mike believes that we should be aware of breasts all year long! Apparently it's No Shave November now though. To that I say don't worry ladies, you don't have to shave, Kinniku Mike will still-



Amigo: Dammit Mike, you can't say that!

Kinniku Mike: Oops!

Amigo: *sigh*



Amigo: Anyways, as you can see we're invited some new faces to our dojo today. We're hard at work cultivating a brand new SURGE Generation that's going to show off the best of EBW and show WAR just what-

?: *cough* Excuse me.

Amigo: Huh? Can we help you?

?: Maybe, but I know that I can help you.

Kinniku Mike: Who is this kid? You lost or something?

?: I think you're the ones who are lost....lost without me, but that's alright because I'm here now.

Amigo: Who are you?

?: You can call me Nikky....just Nikky.

Amigo: Alright Nikky....why are you here?

Nikky: Because you need me.

Amigo: Do we? I don't recall asking for someone to show up out of the blue, interrupt our training session, and confuse me to no end.

Nikky: I'm here you, and for EBW. I'm going to lead EBW against WAR.

Kinniku Mike: Ha! This kid is hilarious! You want to be a wrestler eh? I appreciate the attitude, but you want to get your foot in the door you go talk to w00t. Start in The Wrestling and get noticed. Maybe then you can-

Nikky: I don't have the time and neither do you. All you need to know is that I will save EBW. Don't believe me? That's fine because I've always believed that "Well Done" is better than "Well Said". I've already talked to Trevor Mach. I've got the contract. Now all I want is to make an introduction. I'll take either one of you next week on Xcite.....I don't care which. I've been given five minutes, and in those five minutes the world will see their new hero rise.

Amigo: ....Is that guy serious?

Kinniku Mike: His funeral. I'll bury him in the mat, teach him some humility.

Amigo: Who says YOU get to school the new guy?

Kinniku Mike: I do.

Amigo: Well I disagree.

Kinniku Mike: Rock, Paper, Scissors?

Amigo: You're on!

Announcer: The buildup to Rumble City is already underway with the announcement of the EBW World Championship match, but that's not all. The Boss Trevor Mach and Tack Angel are going to face off once again with mustaches on the line, but perhaps even more is at stake then just facial hair. We also have the Bad Ass Rumble, which will determine the next challenger for the EBW World Championship. This is just the icing on the cake, as everyone is getting ready for one of the biggest events of the year.



Trevor Mach: Tali, I hope you're ready for a "sparring session". I need to get ready for my match and.....I see you have a sword.

Lady M's: I do have a sword.

Trevor Mach: Huh....hey....about that.....what's it for?

Lady M's: Not much really. Just gonna carve that damn mustache right off your face.

Trevor Mach: Wha? But honey bunny, I thought you loved the mustache ride!

Lady M's: No, that shit tickles. I've had to deal with the stubble enough, I'll be damned if I'm going to have to put up with the mustache.

Trevor Mach: But...but I need the mustache! I made a match with Tack! A manly match of manly honor and manly mustaches.

Lady M's: Stop saying manly!

Trevor Mach: Sorry.

Lady M's: What is with this match anyways? Don't you have like a company to run or something?

Trevor Mach: We've discussed this. I like to take the hands on approach. That's how I got that black eye in the shower the other day.

Lady M's: I'm still not sorry for that. What I'm asking I guess is why are you having this match? I know you want to kick their asses, but why Tack specifically?

Trevor Mach: He challenged me with his mustache!

Lady M's: He grew it first!

Trevor Mach: You can't prove that!

Lady M's: I'm gonna cut it off!

Trevor Mach: Tali noooooooo!

Lady M's: DON'T RUN! DON'T RUN!



Hater: *Huff Puff* Nya.....aaah.....oh man....so exhausted. Hater here, and I've been following the EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega on what he calls a simple training exercise. I wasn't aware that would involve an all day climb up a mountain.....I REALLY didn't!

Camilo Ortega: You managed to keep up down there? I'm slightly impressed.....slightly. What is it that you want exactly Hater?

Hater: Just....a word....on *huff puff* your strategy for Rumble City.

Camilo Ortega: And you followed me all the way up here for that? I mean...it's obvious isn't it?

Hater: *huff puff* Yeah....when you say things that way.....sounds stupid...I didn't have to follow did I?

Camilo Ortega: KYO is a demon, and I don't take demons lightly. I will reach ever higher, walking the path of Heaven, I will stand tall against KYO.

Hater: Great....thank you....now I guess I need to find a way down...you want to help me with th-

Camilo Ortega: You're on your own on that. I'm not done climbing.

Hater: ....Nyah.

Hmm, seems as if The Firebrand has been asked to work on WAR's upcoming show. The tides of WAR have seemingly changed, no? The irony of this situation amuses me. And I don't just mean the situation with WAR. Because on that night, I will be across the ring from a group of masked renegades known as Zodiac. Something about this whole situation is... nostalgic. It's as if the Master of Reality has hopped into a time machine, threw on his El Agitador outfit, and is preparing for a big six-man tag in Mexico City.

But no, that's still not what's turning my grey matter inside-out. It's Aries.

*Disturbing chuckle*

I see that mask. The sign of the ram. I see those colors, the fiery red. And why not? The Aries is indeed the cardinal fire sign of the zodiac. It's that symbolism behind the mask that truly grasps my attention the most. The irony of the situation that's truly perplexing me? It's that I take deep pride into being an Aries as well. And while my mind should be preparing to defend my championship against Ray Dorado down the line... *Small laugh*

All I can think about...






...is that damn mask. I'll see you at WAR, Aries.

Apple Kid: So....it's Thanksgiving.

Orange Kid: Yeah.....don't remind me.....I'm so bored here.

Rishin Fliger: Does yous just thinks dat we cans go out and gets a turkey!?

Orange Kid: Yeah! We could totally do that! What is keeping us here?

Rishin Fliger: The space time continuum leak from the black hole in the EBW Tower.

Orange Kid: What?

Rishin Fliger: Wha? Nothings I says nothings!

Orange Kid: No no, that sounded important cause I could actually understand you. You wanna run that by me again?

Rishin Fliger: What is yous talkings about!?

Orange Kid: *sigh* Forget it. Just forget it.

Apple Kid: I'm just surprised this job turned out to be this boring! I mean when you're watching movies about big councils and stuff, you see them standing there like that, but you don't expect them to stand there ALL THE TIME!

Orange Kid: Are we even getting Holiday Pay for this? How DO we get paid anyway? Is there some extra dimensional pay window around here somewhere?

Rishin Fliger: Of course, it's by the vendings machines.

Orange Kid: ......

Apple Kid: So....Thanksgiving. I guess we all have a lot to be thankful for. Curry Man? Boombox Guy? Wanna start us off here? No? Of course.

Curry Man: I am thankful for the hot and spicy Y2C! ICHIBAAA-

Orange Kid: Yeah yeah yeah. You like curry! We got it!

Apple Kid: You know, I hear the Machs and the Angels were meeting for Thanksgiving.

Orange Kid: WHAT?! Why would they even attempt to make that work?

Apple Kid: They both planned to go to the Golden Corral.

Orange Kid: ....Classy Thanksgiving.

Apple Kid: I would love to see the shenanigans going on today, but we're stuck in this pocket dimension.

Orange Kid: Yeah....I'm sure all of that would be much more interesting then what we're doing here.

Apple Kid: *sigh*

Orange Kid: *sigh*

w00t: Trying to get a wrestling company off the ground is never easy. The Wrestling has had to deal with a lack of resources, lack of wrestlers, and a second hand ring inside of a parking lot. If that's not enough, our champion happens to be the brother of WAR's leader. But wait.....it gets better. Now, we've got Zodiac breathing down our necks.



w00t: Everyone, take a good hard look at Chu Chu here. The man was blindsided by the Zodiac. He did his best to fight them off, but they left him a little busted up obviously. They want to pick a fight with The Wrestling. I know we've got enough problems, but this is something we need to deal with.

Simon Stuart: That's why you need to let me lead a team and take these guys out.

Retro Hippie: Yeah! Listen to your champion!

Simon Stuart: Shut up Hippie.

Retro Hippie: Oh.

w00t: Oh no, you might be the champ right now, but you're working for WAR and I don't trust you anymore. I'm not stupid remember? I'm the EBW genius.

Simon Stuart: We're not the bad guys here. The bad guys are EBW, but the fact of the matter is Zodiac is threatening both sides, and if you want a win you'll put me in a match against them.

w00t: ....Not a chance.

Simon Stuart: Fine, it's your funeral.

w00t: It won't be because I believe in my roster. Chu Chu, I know you're chomping at the bit to get your hands on Zodiac, but I need you and Oni over there in the main event to see who is going to face Simon Stuart next. Blue, Ultimo, and Daron.....you are my guys for this match. You're going to face the Zodiac, and I know that you can win, because I believe in you and I believe in our product. I used to be a man that only cared about myself, but those times are over. Thanks to you all I believe in you and I care. Together, we will overcome because we are not cowards. WE ARE MEN! NOW LET'S WIN THIS THING! YEAH!

Ultimo Tiger: YEAH!

Fighter Daron: YEAH!

Blue Lightning: WHAT THEY SAID!

w00t: YEAH!

----------

w00t: *sigh* That did not go well at all. I should have known better, I really should have known. Zodiac are not to be taken lightly.....that's what I've learned tonight. My guys got slaughtered. It's not like they are bad wrestlers or anything, but taking repeated chair shots on the way to the ring before the match might inhibit your abilities....JUST A LITTLE BIT! GAH! This is frustrating. I even gave the big heroic speech. Normally, that leads to a win. We looked bad out there. Scorpio hit that Death Drop on BL and pinned him rather quickly. At least the main event went well. Chu Chu and Oni had a good match, which Chu Chu managed to win despite his injury. I think next week Chu Chu is going to lead the team if Zodiac decides to come back. I might need to have a long talk with Simon Stuart too.

Announcer: It's time for the EBW News Update. With Rumble City coming up fast, we already know that Camilo Ortega will be putting his strap on the line against WAR's newest hire KYO. The dark demon is a former champion in his own right, but that was years ago. While more dangerous then ever, what is he planning to do against the EBW Champion. Hater attempted to get some words from KYO.



Hater: Nyah? Umm....K...K....KYO?

KYO: .....

Hater: Y....You have a mmmmatch with C-C-Camilo Ortega at Rrrumble City and-

KYO: ......

Hater: ....Nevermind.

----------

Announcer: That didn't go well. Remember to tune into WAR: Xperience this week to see Infinity Division Champion Firebrand X join up with WAR's Anwin and Randy no Kachi to collide with Zodiac. This PLUS a brand new color scheme and logo as WAR continues to separate itself from EBW.

-



Tack Angel: Firebrand, glad you could make it! We're ready if you just want to-

Firebrand X: I don't want to here it. I'm here to tangle with the Zodiac....nothing more.

Tack Angel: I'm just trying to welcome you! We're glad to have you here.

Anwin: Although you COULD be cool like me and RNK and join us full time!

Tack Angel: Anwiiiiiiin!

Anwin: What?

Tack Angel: I told you we weren't going to put on the peer pressure. Everyone thinks we're all evil!

Randy no Kachi: So?

Tack Angel: So, I want to clear up our image!

Firebrand X: Apparently just being the consummate protagonist isn't enough anymore is it?

Tack Angel: Eh?

Firebrand X: Nothing. Look, the Zodiac are I are going to have a dance with the fire. If you don't want to get burned I suggest you stay out of my way, but I'm getting to that ring to do this job. If anyone tries to stop me Rey Dorado and Bolshoi will keep me from putting them in the hospital....you hope.

Anwin: Hey, we're with you man. Whatever it takes to get that big main event pay check!

Randy no Kachi: I think you meant to say whatever it takes to beat the Zodiac right?

Anwin: Nope!

Firebrand X: More than anything, you just remember this. They are dangerous.

Tack Angel: You sound pretty sure about that. Caution is the better part of valor they say, so Anwin and RnK, I hope you're listening.

Anwin: Yeah yeah yeah!

Randy no Kachi: Understood.

Firebrand X: One more thing. Aries is mine.....you hear me? Aries is mine.

Anwin: What is his problem?

Randy no Kachi: It's probably you.

Anwin: Hey! You really think so?

Randy no Kachi: Anwin, how the hell should I know?

Tack Angel: ....What are you hiding Firebrand?



WAR's take over of Xperience is complete, and the building and set have been repainted in the colors of change and revolution. The vision of Amy Angel is coming to full fruition, and in them midst of an invasion of the Zodiac, WAR is set to battle EBW in a full on ratings clash! Orange is the new color for WAR: Xperience, and the color isn't the only thing that has changed. Not only are Lovekick Connection the new commentary team when they aren't wrestling, but the ring has changed as well. WAR has decided to bring back the four sided ring to set itself apart from the Mach lead EBW once and for all. Tonight, the heavy hitters of WAR would be taking a back seat to the alliance of the newest signees Anwin and Randy no Kachi, as well as Infinity Division Champion Firebrand X as they challenged the Zodiac to step into the ring in what is sure to be a game changing match. Lovekick wouldn't have time to adjust to their new full time role as the voice of the people and the hooligan squared off against Grind and Switchback in the opening match with the tag belts on the line...

-Awesome tag action saw Lovekick and Jet Set Future collide for the Tag Team Championships. The luchablades team proved they were ready for primetime against the season veteran champions. Sal and Jamie cut their usual shenanigans and hit their usual tag combos, but they couldn't keep the hungry rookies down. Sal nearly took a fall from Grinds' Rolling Shooting Star Press, but he managed to tag Jamie in on the way down. Jamie went for the Penalty Kick, but Grind evaded and tagged in Switchback, who hopped onto the top rope and landed a hurracanrana that sent Jamie to the second rope. Switchback rolled towards him to hit the Tiger Feint, but Jamie back up in time to avoid it. The Hooligan even applauded the kid for giving him a run for his money. That's when The Zodiac appeared on the stage. They stood on top of the Lovekick announce booth, but didn't get involved. Everyone looked to them, but Jamie was the first to get his head back into the game literally by headbutting Switchback to the ground. He then landed a harsh Penalty Kick and pinned the youngster for the title defense. After the match the Zodiac circled the ring but ultimately dispersed through the crowds. Simply scare tactics from the invaders. ***Stars

Retro Hippie: WAR is on the rise, and our violent savior KYO...who is standing in a pool of blood and that's not creepy or anything.....is going to give us that cutting edge when he leaves EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega laying in a blood bath! Normally, I don't condone violence....unless it benefits my cause. Well this benefits my cause! So violent savior, what do you plan to do to Ortega?

KYO: Violent Savior.......

Retro Hippie: .......what?

KYO: .....You want to know what I have planned for Ortega? Find out for yourself.

Retro Hippie: Eh? Hey, what's Nerdler doing here? What's going on? Oh my....NOOOOOOOO!

-KYO made shot work of Retro Hippie in a Wildstyle Falls Count Anywhere match when he forced the Hell Claw down Hippie's throat and forced him to submit very quickly. The blood that Hippie spit up afterward suggests that KYO has mastered this deadly and dangerous move. N/A Stars

-WAR: Xperience presented another big title match with Amy Angel's brother Simon Stuart putting the Eagleland Championship on the line against the #1 Contender Swift. The EBW rep was a coach to Stuart in The Wrestling, but "Stu" had developed since then to become a double champion. All of that meant nothing against the Brawler. The grizzled veteran controlled the entire pace of the match and showed the young Stuart that defending a title could be harder than winning it by slamming into him with the POUNCE! and pinning him for the win. **1/2 Stars

After the match, Swift rubbed his forehead onto his newly won singles title. He held it overhead until Stuart slowly staggered to his feet. He tried to extend his hand to his former coach only to be whipped into the ropes and POUNCED! once again. This brought out Swift's old tag partner Tack Angel, mustache and all, as he climbed into the ring to try and calm him down. Tack tried to get Swift to stop attaching his new brother in law, but that almost lead to a confrontation between the old friends. Swift rubbed his head onto the WAR ring ropes and stormed off.

-Noah Jennings betrayed WAR to realign with EBW, and that didn't sit well with WAR. So for Noah's invasion match he was paired up against the menacing Troy. The hot headed punter stormed after Noah looking to do damage, but the scheming man's wrestler had a plan. He kept away from Troy as much as possible and lured him out of the ring on more than one occasion. He played possum, acting like a volley of elbows had him down for the count in front of the ring steps. On the punt kick attempt, Noah moved out of the way and Troy hit his foot punting the steel steps as hard as he could. Noah rolled back into the ring at 9 and Troy found himself counted out. The vicious and angry Alpha Beta chased off the gloating Noah Jennings, who outsmarted the beast. ***Stars

-Maelstrom Openweight Champion Maurice made a statement before his match against Hashim Al-Singh, wanting to prove his worth as the best wrestler and not just the best Hybrid fighter, and that meant challenging the World Champion. He said he would put his belt up on the line if Camilo had the guts when suddenly Hashim tried to blind side Maurice. The two engaged in a very hybrid styled striking match, with the champion getting bloodied, but ultimately scoring the pin following a vicious KO Punch that rocked Hashim badly. Little Mac came out and followed up on Maurice's earlier talk, touting that Maurice should be the actual #1 contender. Big win for the striker Maurice. ***Stars

Firebrand X: .....*sigh*

?: Nervous?

Firebrand X: What? Is that really you? Gemini?



Gemini: Surprised to see us?

Firebrand X: Gemini, what are you doing here?

Aries: You had to know this was coming. When we made our move they wanted to see you.....for different reasons obviously.

Firebrand X: Gemini, it's......it's good to see you again. I think about you a lot.

Gemini: You still think about me? I'm flattered......like I care.

Firebrand X: Still of two minds.

Aries: I hear you talking trash, and I'm sure you think you've got the situation well in hand, but you know what they say about messing with a bull and his horns. If you don't want gored you'll leave this building right now and get out of our way. What do you even care? This is WAR, this isn't EBW.

Firebrand X: I don't care about WAR, but when it involves you....and Gemini.....it becomes my concern.

Aries: Gemini is of no concern to you anymore I can assure you of that. She's really special isn't she. Always two minds on everything like you said. The difference is thanks to me her..."brutally beautiful" side had tipped the scales.

Firebrand X: That's dangerous for both of you. That's not who you are Gemini.

Gemini: If you really cared you wouldn't have abandoned us......but I know you had your reasons.....now I look at you and it makes me sick.....I never wanted it to be like this. I've missed you......Aries is more of a man then you ever could be.

Aries: I like what I'm hearing. Let's just leave it at that. I always was better than you. I think that's obvious.

Firebrand X: I think you're delusional. I think you also know that I can be of two minds on things as well, and if you don't leave my sight then the demon might just carve you up.

Aries: Is that so?

Firebrand X: I'm that close to snapping right now Aries.....I'm that far away.

Aries: ....Come on Gemini.....we'll deal with him in the ring.

Gemini: Goodbye.......good riddance.....Sagittarius.

Firebrand X: .......

-Main event saw Infinity Division Champion Firebrand X, Anwin, and Randy no Kachi put aside EBW/WAR differences to take on the troublesome trio the Zodiac. The newly introduced Gemini stood nearby, distracting Firebrand from the task at hand, getting him gored into the corner by Aries in the opening seconds of the match. Heated back and forth between the seeming rivals, with Aries having Firebrand's unique lucha/mma style well scouted. These two have a history. Aries was getting the better of Firebrand with his no nonsense brawling style. Randy no Kachi made the blind tag and jumped in to dodge a gore attempt and nearly hit the No Kachi Cutter, but Aries powered out of it and slammed RnK to the mat. Aries tagged out to the vicious striking Scorpio and fixed his stare on Firebrand X. Aries and FBX sat out while Anwin and RnK alternated with Leo and Scorpio. Impressive match from all involved, and the Zodiac were definitely prepared with impressive team combos and fast tags. Late in the match Aries tagged himself back in and pushed Anwin into Firebrand X. He demanded that Firebrand tag back in. The Infinity Division Champion shook off the distractions and charged head first into Aries, meeting in a headbutt collision. Firebrand kicked into gear finally and let looses and volley of his MMA inspired strikes and took Aries down for the ground and pound. He wasn't expecting that nor was he expecting FBX to turn this into a Kimura attempt that nearly snapped the forearm of the invading Zodiac member. Eventually Aries got to the ropes, but instead of continuing the match he let Firebrand grow in frustration and he tagged in Leo, grinning ear to ear as he did so. He dropped down from the ring to kiss the cheek of the of the light side of Gemini and then laid a big kiss on her dark side. Firebrand tagged out to Anwin and brawled with Aries up to the stage. He got the better of his rival and prepared to put him through the announce table when suddenly another masked man in blue rushed to Aries's aid and floored FBX with a back body drop. The appearance of the fourth man distracted Anwin long enough for Leo to drop kick him and land a Lionsault to get the pin. Bad result for WAR, but impressive match for Zodiac. ****Stars

After the match the man in blue went to the top rope and splashed down on Anwin, joining Zodiac in the ring. The members of Zodiac were not lying when they said they were not alone. The fans in attendance had witnessed the debut of Aquarius.

Nerma: Welcome to another installment of EBW: Aftermath where-

Retro Hippie: You mean WAR: Aftermatch, and this is where we recap what has happened this last week in WAR's valiant struggle against the oppressive-

Nerma: Shut it Hippie! I'm hosting this show alright! Anyways, it's been a hectic week with the Zodiac growing in numbers. They are now up five by my count and who knows if anymore are hiding and waiting in the shadows.

Retro Hippie: They really made a mess on WAR: Xperience! Firebrand X was supposedly brought in to take care of them, but it looks to me like he has some personal history with the Zodiac! See, I knew EBW was behind all of this!

Nerma: How does that support that illogical statement? Logic Hippie....common sense....try it sometime really. Firebrand DOES seem to have a history with the Zodiac, but we're just as surprised about it as anyone. We hope to get some answers on the next Xcite.

Retro Hippie: Oh sure, use this show to promote EBW's flagship show and boost viewership.

Nerma: That is literally what this show is for.

Retro Hippie: ....Oh right.

Nerma: Ya know, if WAR wants to be legitimate, you sure aren't helping things.

Retro Hippie: Why? Because I speak my mind.

Nerma: No, because you're a moron.

Retro Hippie: HEY! Why I-

Nerma: Let's take a look at this week's ratings battle!  

----------

-Weekly Ratings-

EBW: Xcite - 4.6

WAR: Xperience - 4.6

----------

Retro Hippie: As you can clearly see Xperience is poised to overtake the falling ratings of Xcite!

Nerma: The ratings for BOTH shows went UP! With the whole Zodiac and WAR buzz it stands to reason that viewers would be curious. Add to the fact that the Zodiac all but sabotaged Xcite last week, and you can see why XP is running neck and neck.

Retro Hippie: HA! Running out of excuses. You'll see I'm right next week. We've got the go home show before Rumble City. That means we get the big rating grab that week.

Nerma: Speaking of Rumble City, an Eagleland Championship match has been added to the card. Simon Stuart will attempt to get the belt back in a rematch, but he's going to have to step it up after that one sided beating on WAR: Xperience.

Retro Hippie: Stuart's got the goods and he's more than talented enough to handle Swift. He just needs to use the brain this time around and outsmart him. That belt is coming back to the WAR camp!

Nerma: Here is the update card for Rumble City this year. Tickets are sold out, but you can still order the show on pay per view!

EBW/WAR/Zodiac: Rumble City 2012

1. Eagleland Championship: Swift(c) vs. Simon Stuart
2. Mustache contra Mustache: Trevor Mach vs. Tack Angel
3. EBW World Championship: Camilo Ortega(c) vs. KYO
4. Bad Ass Rumble: Kinniku Mike vs. Troy vs. Amigo vs. Maurice vs. TBA

Nerma: Now onto the big announcement AKA the Xcite build!

Retro Hippie: ....Oh boy.

Nerma: EBW debut Nikky will try to make a huge impression in just his first match by tangling with either Amigo or Kinniku Mike, but the question is who is going to properly welcome the rookie? New Zodiac member Aquarius will make his in ring debut when he invades against Antonio Daman. Troy wants Noah Jennings' head after outsmarting him on WAR: XP, and thus he'll get his shot in this rematch. Firebrand X will be putting his Infinity Division Championship on the line against Rey Dorado in a match that was expected for Rumble City, but you get it live on free tv!

Retro Hippie: Doing whatever you can to bump the ratings eh?

Nerma: This was Firebrand's request!

Retro Hippie: Suuuuuure.

Nerma: The huge main event will see the EBW World Champion return from his week long training excursion to team with the boss Trevor Mach against #1 Contender KYO and Tack Angel. This a big Xcite you won't want to miss.

Retro Hippie: Yeah....I'm not watching.

Nerma: *sigh*

Announcer: WAR: Xperience will be the last stop on the way to Rumble City, and the card is stacked from top to bottom in an attempt to outdo Xcite's go home show. Tag champs Lovekick Connection will lock up with the Zodiac's Leo and Scorpio for the first time, as it looks like invaders are targeting the charismatic tag team. Many EBW wrestlers will be allowed in including the Boss Trevor Mach, who will team with EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega and Eagleland Champion Swift against Tack Angel, KYO, and Simon Stuart. It's a big move from Amy Angel to allow Trevor Mach and the EBW Champion, but EBW is also showing fearlessness by heading all out into enemy territory before the big rumble. You will see all of this and more on the next Xperience.

Amy Angel: Trevor Mach.

Trevor Mach: Well I'm not Vincent Hirsch!

Amy Angel: Who?

Trevor Mach: Nothing. Look, we're here because you opened the door, but if you want to rumble out here you have to give us a chance to practice some dance choreography.

Amy Angel: I'm not here to pick a fight, and I hope you're smart enough not to start a fight around a pregnant woman.

Trevor Mach: I won't do that, but I WILL rip the mustache right off your husband's face.

Tack Angel: Yeah, you keep talking Trevor.

Trevor Mach: I'm going to do a lot more than talk Tack!

Tack Angel: Bring it on!

Trevor Mach: YOUR WIFE SAID NOT TO!

Tack Angel: OH YEAH!

Trevor Mach: I'LL GET YOU LATER!

Tack Angel: WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!

Amy Angel: Stop yelling please. Look, Rumble City is coming up, and WAR is going to promote this show better than EBW ever could. That is why I'm letting you in here, BUT if you try anything funny I'm having you removed.

Trevor Mach: Whatever. It won't matter much longer anyways.

Amy Angel: What? Why is that?

Trevor Mach: I came to a big decision the other day. A decision that is going to change everything you know and change the paradigm in this fight.

Amy Angel: Is that so? Care to shed some light on that?

Tack Angel: Yeah, I'm actually curious about that too.

Trevor Mach: Like I would tell you!

Tack Angel: What did I ever do to you anyways?!

Trevor Mach: You took my advice!

Tack Angel: Huh?

Trevor Mach: I'm aware it's stupid.

Tack Angel: Look, we need to-

Sal Paradise: Hey! Shut it for a minute and look up there!

Jamie OD: Oi! It's those Zodiac bastards!

-Above the XP Zone, Leo and Scorpio of Zodiac had initiated a Wildstyle tag match for the Wrestling tag straps. No way to determine the match length, as the cameras caught Scorpio dropping RA with the Death Drop before the ref reluctantly counted the 1-2-3. Zodiac had taken the belts in a surprise match. They also laid out the referee for good measure. N/A Stars

After the impromptu match, Leo and Scorpio set a garbage can on fire atop the building as both EBW and WAR looked on.

Leo: Is that all you've got? We came here for a real fight and a real challenge, and all we get is this?! These belts are worthless, just like that team, and just like all of you. We're tossing these belts to show you that nothing will ever be safe for you while Zodiac is here. I hereby "cremate" these belts.

Scorpio: Ashes to ashes.....dust to dust. We'll soon lay EBW and WAR to rest. Sal and Jamie....the supposed real tag champs....are next.

Sal Paradise: .....

Jamie OD: .....



The final stop to the Rumble City event is upon us. This year, EBW, WAR, and Zodiac will all collide for the same time for the first time in a power grab of sorts, where anything goes, and everything will be on the line. The whole bloody affair will be live on Pay Per View, but the Zodiac have wasted little time tonight, abandoning The Wrestling's tag belts to burn, and taking out a young WAR team. They have their sights set on Lovekick Connection as well. All of this would be main evented by Team Camilo taking on Team Angel in a 6-Man tag main event. Plus, former Infinity Division champion has promised hell to pay for Aries, and he made his intentions of invasion clear tonight. Will he get his hands on his Zodiac rival?

-Opening match saw Anwin and Randy no Kachi take on Jet Set Future, in the most bright and colorful Infinity tag match ever. If you could avoid a seizure you witnessed a high octane, high flying match. Jet Set are trying to come back from a tag title shot loss, but it would not be tonight as Randy no Kachi dropped Switchback with the No Kachi Cutter to score the pin and the quick 800 bucks. ***Stars

-Next match saw Zodiac invade the ring to take on Lovekick Connection in non-title action. Leo and Scorpio already decimated a team earlier in the night, but they had a much more competitive battle against the tag champs. Lovekick found themselves in the favor of the fans again, though it might have been more of a lesser of two evil scenario. Match picked up with Scorpio nearly getting the pin with the Death Drop on Sal until Jamie swooped in with the Penalty Kick. Leo tagged in and tried hitting the Lionsault on Sal, but Paradise put his knees up and blocked the attempt. He clamped on the Paradise Lock, but Scorpio quickly returned to the ring and attacked. The two attacked Sal and tossed Jamie out of the ring. The referee tried to stop them, but they attacked Nerdler once again and got themselves DQ'd. They technically lost the match, but the Zodiac left a message and left Lovekick in a heap on the mat. N/A Stars

-Even more tag action followed in the next match as SURGE Generation battled Maurice and Little Mac ahead of the end of a era match between Amigo and Maurice. One man would be gone forever and the other would be a champion, and this match was all about injuring Amigo for Maurice and Mac. Mike tried his best to get tagged in, but Mac and Maurice kept Amigo in one corner and went to work on him. Mac tried to finish the match with a KO Punch, but Amigo avoided it and brought Mac to the mat with a back body drop. He lunged to the other side of the ring to tag in Kinniku Mike, and the controversial sex machine went to work plowing down both men. Mac tagged Maurice back in and backed away from the ring. Mike had Maurice on the ropes until Mac handed him brass knuckles, which he used to clock Mike. Mike fell back against the ropes and Amigo tagged himself in, pointing out the brass knuckles to Nerdler. Nerdler had already had enough tonight and argued with Maurice in the corner as Mac pulled out another pair of knuckles and clocked Amigo. Maurice finally gave up his pair and turned to blast the still standing Amigo with his KO Punch before rolling him up for the pin. Cheap win for Maurice, but the Maelstrom Champion succeeded in injuring Amigo ahead of the big match. ***Stars

In the back, Amy Angel was making her way to the back entrance where security was telling her someone was trying to force his way in...

Amy Angel: What are you doing here?



Nikky: Well hi there! Nice place you got here I must say. Might even be better than the Xcite Center, but who's to say.

Amy Angel: You're that new kid Nikky huh? You beat Amigo on Xcite, but you did that to prove you were worthy of "saving" EBW. Why should I let you in here?

Nikky: Oh drop the act Mrs. Angel. We both know how scared you are right now. Scared that EBW is going to take away what you've worked so hard to achieve. You've got a family forming and that hard demeanor is all that is keeping you from crying in Tack Angel's arms cause you'd hate to see your child's future taken. Am I right?

Amy Angel: .....Please.....just tell me what you want?

Nikky: Well I thought I might offer my services to YOU! Perhaps Nikky can be the one to save WAR. You've seen what I can do, but I'll be fair about this. Next week, you set me up a match with anyone on the roster. I'll prove myself to WAR too.

Amy Angel: I figured EBW would offer you a contract. Why are you doing this?

Nikky: Someone has to think of the children. Have a nice evening Mrs. Angel.

Amy Angel: .....

-A comedy match of sorts was next, as Noah Jennings was once again set to take on Troy. What appeared to be Troy's kind of match turned out to be his undoing in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Noah took off out of the ring instantly, and this time Troy had to follow. He followed him through the crowd, as Noah tossed soda and popcorn at him, to keep the raging bull heading in his direction. A funny cat and mouse game had the fans in stitches, but it all turned out to be a plan from Noah. He lead Troy to the back where he proceeded to push over a Whoop Ass Soda Machine on him and press him to the ground for a 10-count. Mr. Jennings once again outsmarted the Alpha Beta and ran off after the match to avoid certain revenge. ***Stars

-The main event would see EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega, Eagleland Champion Swift, and the Boss Trevor Mach invade the home court of Tack Angel, KYO, and The Wrestling Champion Simon Stuart. Funny start to the match as Trevor Mach made fun of the 4-sided ring. Simon Stuart came out and slapped him across the mouth. Trevor took it in stride by forcing Stu into the clinch, hitting the repeated knees before tagging in Swift, who tackled Stuart into the other corner to maul him. Tack tagged in and saved his Brother in Law by hitting repeated kicks to the back of Swift's head, bringing him down to his knees. Tack and Stu tried to run the ropes for a double drop kick, but Swift came back up with a double clothesline and brought both men down. Back and forth action continued, with Camilo and KYO being very quiet during the match, simply sharing stares and never being in the match at the same time. Late in the match however, as Trevor and Tack were trading shots, Trevor dared Tack to tag in KYO and he tagged in Camilo. The champion and challenger, EBW and WAR were about to collide, but KYO caused a ruckus by attacking his own teammates before turning on the EBW team. A chaotic brawl erupted as Tack and Stu tried to control KYO, but they also had to deal with Swift and Trevor bringing down the pain. Camilo met KYO in the center of the ring, as the two traded blows, it looked like Camilo was winning out. However, on an STO attempt, KYO locked in the Hell Claw. Camilo was fighting out of it like no other challenger before, but KYO stepped it up by forcing the champion into the corner and tearing into his forehead with his teeth. He cut the champ open badly as blood spilled everywhere. Camilo still refused to tap, and nearly blacked out as the ref called for a stoppage. ****Stars

KYO claimed victory, but he wasn't done, as he kept tearing into Camilo before dropping him to the mat and grinning with a manic gaze as blood dripped from his teeth. The mad monster was hungry for blood, and perhaps nothing could quench his thirst, except the blood of Camilo Ortega at Rumble City.



Aries: Back up you bastard!

Gemini: Please stop this!

Demonbrand: I didn't start it, but I'm going to finish it! The Firebrand won't stop me from carving you up. He doesn't even want to! I might even let Rey Dorado get a piece. He might crave your blood too!

Aries: You think I'm scared of you?!

Demonbrand: You didn't show up for Xperience. You made me look for you....hunt you down. Yeah....you're scared.

Aries: This is why you fail as Firebrand, just like you failed as Sagittarius. You underestimate who I am and what I can do.

Demonbrand: Is that so?! Humor me.....tell me what can you do?

Aries: Anything I have to do. Come here Gemini!

Gemini: What are you doing?! Help me.....no....get him Aries! Make him pay......please let go of me!

Demonbrand: ......

Aries: HA! Even the demon has a weakness. I guess you're more into the dark half though aren't you? HAHA! You touch me, and you might hurt her so back off both of you!

Demonbrand: ......This isn't over.

Aries: I'm sure it isn't. I'll see Firebrand at Rumble City!

Demonbrand: No.....you'll see ME! HAHAHAHA!

Trevor Mach: Hello EBW! I know you're all waiting to see this bad ass show we're about to put on, but I have something very important to say. For a while now I've been stuck in a bit of a rut. I've been watching things get crazy around me, and I've tried to do the best job I can as the Boss to keep things in order. Problem is order has never really been my style. I also realized that I could do a lot more in the ring then I can in an office. When I left active in ring competition I thought I was taking a step further in my life to something bigger and better.....that turned out to be bullshit. I ended up on a path I didn't want. I'll forever be grateful to the fans who thought I should run the show, but look where that is getting us. The product is fun and exciting, but I feel there is a party going on that I wasn't invited to. That's why I'm going to crash the party. I'm going to be the fly in the ointment and the monkey in the wrench just like I used to be. I really want to fire up EBW, but more importantly for me and Tali here, I'm going to fire up my life. That is why effective tonight I am resigning from duties as the Boss of EBW. You hear that Amy? I've taken away your motivations entirely! Now you can't blame Trevor Mach for your problems anymore. You might consider that a victory, but you'd be wrong. See, this means I'm going back to the ring. Oh yes, that's right I'm back baby! But, I'm also unchained. Nothing can stop me from doing what I want when I want. Trevor Mach unchained, can you imagine how much fun I'm going have at your expense? The ring is where I belong, and I'll die in here if that's what that bitch called fate decides. Now that I'm on the way out though, I'm making some last minute decisions. I'm giving myself the standard main event contract of an EBW star, but I went ahead and erased any grounds for termination. Don't expect me to be a "company gy" or anything, as I got used to never taking orders again. I bleed EBW, but you can consider me the Unchained Renegade. I'm also taking over The Wrestling brand and renaming it "Machismo Office". Why would I take this from w00t? Well it's simple really. I'd like to introduce you to the new Boss of EBW........President w00t!

w00t: Oh....that's why he wanted me out here......WAIT WHAAAAAAT?!

Amy Angel: WHAT?!

Tack Angel: WHAT?!

Ryan IQ: WHAT?!

Lady M's: Meh.

Trevor Mach: For the first time in a long time I feel free, and it's time I start getting my hands dirty and creating a little chaos. Considering I just shook the very foundation of the company, I think I'm off to a good start. w00t, you're up to bat now Mr. President. Try not to fuck up. Peace out bitches! BOOSH!

What a way to kick off Rumble City 2012.....



The time had come for EBW, WAR, and Zodiac to collide in Saturn City aka Rumble City, the perfect place for a violent evening, as the power struggle reaches a fevered pitch. Tonight, debts would be settled, and blood would be shed. The championship is on the line, and the next contender will have to survive a Badass Rumble on the way to a shot at the gold. With the Boss stepping down and rejoining the active roster, it showed that anything could happen on a night like this.

-Opening match saw Simon Stuart make a violent attempt get back the Eagleland Championship from the new Zubaz clad champ Swift. A much more even fight, as Stuart managed to drop Swift a couple times showing he had him scouted. However, Swift had the strength advantage and powered through the technical skills of Simon, smashing him against the ring post till he bled and dropped him with the Blackhammer for good measure. Swift retains. ***Stars

Nerma: Nerma here with our....brand new President....w00t. This has been some of the most shocking news we've had in quite some time and done in typical Mach fashion with the abrupt change. w00t, you look more surprised than anyone.

w00t: ....I...deserve this.....but I didn't expect it.

Nerma: Well....sir? Uh....what do you plan to do next?

w00t: I have....I have no idea.....guess I'd better get a suit.

Amy Angel: I for one am glad to see this change. WAR will prevail now, as the tyrant has finally returned to his renegade ways, and now REAL change can come to us all. w00t, perhaps we can work together for a better future and-

w00t: Forget that!

Amy Angel: Eh?

w00t: You think I'm going to roll over and bow down to Queen bitch!?

Amy Angel: WHY YOU SON OF A......HOW DARE YOU!

w00t: How dare me? Don't think I have forgotten about what you tried to do to me and The Wrestling. That might be in the past now, but it mattered, and the genius doesn't forget. EBW will rise to be better than ever, and I'll see to it that WAR takes a hike to the unemployment line!

Retro Hippie: So, you're going to be a pain in the ass like Trevor Mach huh?

w00t: No....bigger.

-Next match saw Hybrid rules come into play for a Maelstrom Openweight Championship match with bigger implications. Amigo and Maurice had been friends, rivals, and then enemies ever since their arrival on the EBW scene, but now one of them would be leaving forever. Maurice came down with Little Mac, but the champ told his mentor to back away from the ring. This would be between Amigo and Maurice. The World Warrior Wrestling Machine too told Kinniku Mike to back off and stepped into the ring and right into Maurice's face. This couldn't get anymore personal, and the fans were expecting this match to go the distance.....that's not quite what happened. The bell rang and Maurice immediately tried to go for the KO Punch, and Amigo dodged it. He trapped Maurice in the German and dropped him hard before pelting him repeatedly with shots until the ref finally had to call for the TKO victory. Amigo had won the title and taken Maurice's career in roughly ten seconds. The WAR striker was distraught as he had to be carried away by the Red Shirts. Little Mac simply looked away as his protege was carried off. Mike ran into the ring to celebrate as Amigo regained that edge and the Maelstrom Openweight Championship. ***Stars

-It was now time for one of EBW's longest rivalries to continue, as the newly unchained Trevor Mach battled Tack Angel with pride and mustaches on the line. These two always have epic encounters and this was no exception. Mach made light of his previous loss to Tack, by playing to the crowd again. Tack went for the super kick, but Trevor grabbed the ankle and locked it on the mat. Tack quickly reached out and grabbed the ropes. Trevor was focused this time around and Tack had to step it up. They traded blows and holds in a lengthy sequence that got the crowd fired up. Trevor brought Tack into the clinch and unleashed knee after knee, but Tack pushed away and unleashed some high kicks. Both men were woozy and fell to their knees. They traded slaps as they tried to get back up to their feet with Trevor comically tugging on Tack's mustache to great effect. Late in the match Tack had Trevor busted open and ready for the finish. He prepared for the Angel Driver, but Trevor escaped and flipped Tack to the ground. As he tried to get up Trevor hit the Macha Ye and quickly rolled Tack up for the 1-2-3. Trevor won the match and the right to shave Tack's mustache! ****Stars

Trevor ran around the ring laughing with a razor and can of shaving cream. Tack shrugged it off like any normal personal would given it was just a match for a mustache, but still a good return to form for Trevor Mach's return to the roster. Amy Angel came out and demanded that Trevor just get to it, but instead he let her do the shaving. Amy Angel, not a mustache enthusiast, happily complied and shaved her husband's stache. In the meantime, Trevor Mach had another surprise up his sleeve and he pulled off his fake mustache he had been wearing the whole time and stuck on Amy's upper lip before heading to the back. Point made I guess? Just what the hell was the point?

-The Zodiac have unleashed a reign of terror on EBW and WAR, but for Firebrand X it's been personal. The former Infinity Division Champion has a past with the Zodiac and now he wants revenge on his blood rival Aries. We didn't get Firebrand though, as the Demon came out to play. Aries brought Gemini to ringside to play up his so called "weapon" against the demon. This was far from the technical masterpieces we've come to expect from FBX, as these two brawled through most of the No Rules match. Little use of weapons, as fists and feet were more than enough. The Demon was relentless, and Aries proved to be a glutton for punishment. Late in the match Demonbrand had Aries in the corner and ready to swoop in the for the kill, but Aries dragged in Gemini. He pushed her into Demonbrand. The Demon stopped his assault to make sure she was alright. As he check on her Aries went for the Gore. Demonbrand pushed her out of the way to take the Gore. Aries then grabbed the ropes on the roll up to take the cheap win on the Demon. Aries continues to get the better of his rival. Where does Firebrand X go from here? ***Stars

-The first of the double main events saw Camilo Ortega put the EBW World Championship on the line against WAR's secret weapon against the man who walks the path of Heaven....KYO. The monster showed his brutality on Xperience by leaving Camilo in a pool of his own blood. Would that be the result this time? KYO didn’t offer a clean break on the first lock up and Camilo slapped him across the face. Camilo then fired off with a headbutt and hit a big running kick in the corner. Camilo hit another running kick in the corner. The crowd chanted for Camilo to do it one more time. Camilo went for a third kick, but KYO caught his foot. Camilo hit several chops, but KYO motioned for him to bring it. KYO locked in the Hell Claw, but Camilo rolled to the outside. KYO nailed Camilo with a dive through the ropes and the guardrail collapsed. KYO hit another dive to the outside and the fans chanted for the champ to recover. Ortega fired back and hit a springboard clothesline to the apron and both men fell to the outside. They brawled on the outside and Camilo nailed KYO with a big running Judo styled takedown. He set up KYO against the ringpost, but KYO ducked a chop. Camilo’s hand ended up colliding with the ringpost and the monster went to work on him. KYO had Camilo hurt as he constantly stomped on the hand repeatedly. Finally he slapped the Hell Claw back on. Camilo tried to fight it, but KYO had his injured had twisted as well. The champ was bleeding from the mouth again, but found the strength to hit repeated headbutts and escaped from the claw to retaliate with the Saka-Otoshi. Camilo's big match finish proved to be too much for the monster, as he refused to give up, but the referee called a stop to the match. Camilo got revenge forcing a stoppage himself and proving that Heaven overcomes Hell with yet another defense of the title for the dominant champion. ****1/2 Stars

-It was now time for the Bad Ass Rumble, as the participants filled a cage set to house violence and mayhem, all in a quest to be the next contender for the EBW World Championship. The rules are simple. The first wrestler to escape the insanity of the Bad Ass Rumble will get the next title shot against Camilo Ortega. The match was anarchy incarnate, as half the wrestlers started the match climbing, and the other half tried to drag them down. Kinniku Mike had his hands full, as Infinity Division Champion Rey Dorado started climbing, leaving Mike to fight off various members of WAR, but the Zodiac contingent even the score by keeping most of the WAR team grounded. Sal and Jamie were working together and pumping up the crowd, but the lack of focus kept them from getting very far up the cage. Troy was a man on a mission, and yanked down Anwin and Randy no Kachi as he tried to rush up the cage. The young Infinity tag team returned the favor by pulling the Alpha Beta to the mat. This match was heating up, but the contention between EBW, WAR, and even members within their own factions lead to the Zodiac formulating a scheme. Leo and Aquarius both launched Scorpio high onto the cage where he managed to boot Troy down in the process. Troy tried to climb up after him, but Leo and Aquarius slowed him down. In the end the mysterious Scorpio managed to touch the ground and win the match. Zodiac gets the next title shot. ****Stars

At the end of a night full of surprises, the invading Zodiac get the last laugh. Camilo Ortega will now tangle with the most menacing looking member....Scorpio.

Trevor Mach: Man, that was hilarious wasn't it?! No one saw that coming!

Lady M's: No...they didn't.....not even me.

Trevor Mach: Sorry babe, but I wanted to surprise you too.

Lady M's: You do whatever you feel you've got to. Don't let me stop you.

Trevor Mach: This feels right to me. I me, I'm not the kind of man that rests on his laurels....unless you let me rename your breasts to laurels...then I'd rest on your laurels. I want to get back into the action, get into some more fights, and make a little history. You and I both work best without a safety net anyways. I'm a little banged up still, but thanks to the Doc's special treatment and over a year away from full time action, I'm feeling at a physical peak if not a mental one. It's funny that we're in this city where I first retired and proposed to you. Life changed a lot since then, but my goals are now much clearer. I think as long as we avoid any unforeseeable big changes in our lives then I can finally get motivated about my life again and-

?: .....

Trevor Mach: Oh hello young lady. Are you a fan of mine?

?: .......

Trevor Mach: No? Probably a fan of Talis then. Tali, I think this young lady wants your autograph.

Lady M's: You? Hey, what are you doing here? This is a surprise.

?: .....

Lady M's: I see, well it's good to see you too. We obviously have a lot to catch up on and-

Trevor Mach: Tali? She isn't saying anything. All she's doing is moving her hands around all funny and stuff.

Lady M's: It's sign language Trevor. She's deaf.

Trevor Mach: Oh. Wait....you know sign language? She deaf? Who is deaf? Tali, do you know her?

Lady M's: Of course I do. She's my daughter.

Trevor Mach: Oh alright ..............WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Announcer: EBW is again forever changed after a big event that saw the resignation of Trevor Mach as the "Boss" of EBW, and in his place the unlikely ascension of one w00t. A man of genius who was recently managing The Wrestling, now he holds the highest position in the company. A big risk due to his past, but also great possibilities lie in this choice. President w00t wasted no time in taking to his duties, addressing the big Zodiac win from Rumble City, and what he plans to do about it...



President w00t: Hello all, forgive me if I'm not totally prepared for this. This bomb was dropped on me just as abruptly as all of you, but as President of EBW, I promise to take us to the next step and beyond.

Reporter #1: Why do you think Trevor Mach picked you to succeed him?

President w00t: I don't know, maybe cause I listened? Who knows about that, but I do know that my genius and wrestling knowledge make me the perfect choice for this. Let's try not to make too big a deal about this and get down to business. Camilo Ortega managed to retain his title last night against WAR's representative KYO. I could go on and on about all the good things I see in Camilo Ortega but I lack the words so-

Camilo Ortega: My Grandmother used to tell me if you don't have the words you probably shouldn't start the conversation.

President w00t: Well said. Camilo, you're my champion now, and that means that your input will be needed for this first big decision that I'll be making as EBW President. The Zodiac have invaded EBW, WAR, and they sabotaged The Wrestling at every turn. Don't think I'm forgetting about that. So this Scorpio thinks he's earned a title shot against Camilo Ortega, and maybe he has, but if they don't plan on playing fair then who says we have to. Scorpio will be getting his title shot next week on Xcite, but he won't be the only challenger in the match. Camilo, if it's alright with you I'm going to add an extra wrestler in that match.

Camilo Ortega: I have no objections.

President w00t: We'll have a match on Xcite to determine who that challenger will be. If the Zodiac think the new guy is going to make things easy on them they can forget it. Furthermore I-

Amy Angel: President w00t, that's actually not a bad idea at all, but WAR refuses to be outdone. If you've got the guts and business sense you'll hear me out. We're going to put our own representative into that match, having our deciding match on WAR: Xperience. What do you say?

President w00t: Uh....Camilo?

Camilo Ortega: Again....no objections.

President w00t: Well alright then. The more the merrier I guess.

Amy Angel: Glad we could come to an agreement. That wasn't so hard was it?

President w00t: Extremely actually.

Amy Angel: *groan*



President w00t: So....this is my office now.....wow...this is a lot to take in...but once again I deserve all of this....literally all of it.

Ryan IQ: Why you? I just haven't been able to figure that out. I mean, I know that the former Boss was off his rocker, but why w00t?

President w00t: President w00t.

Ryan IQ: Yeah yeah yeah. Why didn't he pick me? I've busted my back for this company! Why not me!?

President w00t: Wouldn't you rather deal with the financial aspects of the company rather than be President anyways?

Ryan IQ: ......Oh yeah. Well never mind then. Glad to have you on board Mr. President!

President w00t: Thanks. Look, I know this was sudden, but we're going to make this work and work big. The past has proven that you and I can work together and we've both grown and changed a lot since then so-

Ryan IQ: Change? I don't deal with change. I deal with dollars....large amounts of said dollars.

President w00t: Out of context, but what I like to hear. Let's put that money to work, because the end of the year is coming and my first big project will the.....



Announcer: The E1 Climax is returning for its seventh installment. The biggest tournament in wrestling is rumored to once again be changing formats, but it is confirmed that the winner will take on the EBW World Champion at the Last Clash 2012 special on New Year's Eve. Our biggest television special always plays host to the biggest title matches, and this year will be no exception. We'll find out more about the new format soon, but needless to say with EBW, WAR, and Zodiac involved it should be interesting. Stay tuned for more information.



Trevor Mach: So....let me get this straight. She's your daughter?

Lady M's: Yep.

Trevor Mach: But not your biological daughter?

Lady M's: Correct.

Trevor Mach: Adopted?

Lady M's: Right again.

Trevor Mach: Adopted daughter that you didn't tell me about?

Lady M's: Uh...well yeah.

Trevor Mach: Huh....you know Tali....this communication thing I keep telling you about. This is one of those time where-

Lady M's: This was a personal decision I had made before we were married Trevor. Remember the Winter's Boarding School?

Trevor Mach: Yeah.

Lady M's: Remember that "unfortunate accident" that happened to the building. The cause of which may or may not have been connected to the Onett "incident".

Trevor Mach: Yeah?

Lady M's: She went to that school. She was orphaned and deaf, but sharp as a tack and really athletic. She was on the wrestling team, looking to make it to the Olympics.

Trevor Mach: Oh wow. Impressive!

Lady M's: Yeah, and things kind of got in the way of that. I felt responsible, and did my best to make sure she was taken care of. She was alone and I thought I could-

Trevor Mach: I get it. I understand.....but this is kind of need to know information Tali.

Lady M's: I'm sorry.

Trevor Mach: Why be sorry? You have a daughter. Hell that means......THAT MEANS I HAVE A DAUGHTER! HOLY SHIT! I have a daughter!? I have a daughter! HAHA! Hi there....uh...uh...hey....what is her name?

Lady M's: Doesn't really have one, or at least she won't tell anybody. She's always gone by Little M's.

Trevor Mach: Little M's? Little M's it is.

Lady M's: She can read lips, so she knows what you're saying, but it helps if you sign.

Trevor Mach: Wow, we need to go make this official! Listen...uh...bad choice of wording...uh...Little M's....I'm Trevor, and I'm married to your mother. That means that we're family now. Since you're here I can...wait....where has she been? The school burned down some time ago.

Lady M's: Training for the Olympics. You think ALL my money went to booze and bikes?

Trevor Mach: Well you do love your hobbies honey bunny.

Lady M's: Of course NOW she says she wants to go pro. That's something I don't really agree with, and we're going to have to talk about this.

Trevor Mach: Well, now that you're here I can adopt you formally and be your father. Would that be alright?

Little M's: .....*signing*

Lady M's: She says she doesn't know you, but she's seen you on television. She's also had to deal with me talking about you I'm sure. She wants to get to know you because....wait....what are you saying?

Little M's: ......*signing*

Lady M's: Again....she wants to go pro. We really need to talk about that and-

Trevor Mach: You want to go pro? That's great cause I can....OH DAMMIT! I JUST quit as the Boss! That's not good! Cause now that you're here we're going to have to think about taking care of you and thinking about your education and.......I just quit a high paying job, for one that only pays well if I succeed. I just blew most of the savings on revamping The Wrestling as well. Man, if only you would have shown up one day earlier.

Little M's: ......*signing*

Lady M's: She says she's sorry.

Trevor Mach: Don't be sorry! I'm glad you're here! You're making me happy cause now I have a new motivation in life. This is what I've been wanting. This is my opportunity to be the World's Greatest Dad...no wait.....I'll become #1 Dad! I need to go out and buy a hat....and mug....and license plate!

Little M's: .....*signing*

Lady M's: He won't bite, he's just easily excitable. Surprised he hasn't squee'd yet.

Trevor Mach: *SQUEE!*

Lady M's: There we go.

Trevor Mach: Before I do all of that, I have one very important thing to do first....



Tack Angel: My upper lip is cold.

Amy Angel: Good, I didn't like that mustache anyways.

Tack Angel: Can't believe you shaved it off me.

Amy Angel: Hey, that was fun.

Tack Angel: I guess it WAS kind of funny wasn't it? Trevor looked motivated again. It was good to see him happy.

Amy Angel: Good for YOU maybe? I know you're friends, but I just hope that whatever he's doing next doesn't cause too much trouble.

Tack Angel: That's kind of what you get with him.

Amy Angel: Yeah. I know. So anyways, we're having a match on Xperience to determine who is going into that title match, and I want you in it as well as.....wait.....you hear that?

Tack Angel: What is it?

Amy Angel: I heard something.

Tack Angel: Maybe it's just the wind?

Amy Angel: No, it came from inside.

Tack Angel: Alright, stay here. I'll turn the light on and go check.



Trevor Mach: Hey Tack! I got to be a father before you! HA!

Tack Angel: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Amy Angel: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Trevor Mach: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Nerma: Xcite's ratings continue to grow. The go home show for Rumble City popped a big 5.1. We were concerned that Zodiac's sabotaging of matches might sour some viewers, but it looks like more tuned in to see what they would do next and what we would do about it.

Retro Hippie: Well hey, Xperience's rating also popped at a 4.9! Might not be as high, but XP has NEVER been able to keep this close to Xcite before! You can thank WAR for that!

Nerma: Someone get this hippie some peanut butter cause he jelly!

Retro Hippie: How very immature.

Nerma: Just trying to speak to you on your level. Anyways, it looks like this week we'll see contenders from both EBW and WAR step up for a title match next on Xcite. That should put butts in the seats eh?

Retro Hippie: You're lucky Amy Angel is willing to let this match take place on Xcite. It'll pay off when WAR gets the World Championship and brands it in the colors of the revolution!

Nerma: Yeah, we'll see about that. I never count out Camilo Ortega, he's proven himself to be the best we've got. It's going to take a great talent to finally lift the title for the man who walks the path of Heaven.

Retro Hippie: That great talent will be found in WAR!

Nerma: Well, I guess the fans will have to tune in and find out!

Retro Hippie: Yes....tune into WAR....not EBW.

Nerma: *sigh*

*DOOR BELL RINGS!*

Jackie: Oh boy, A customer!

*A hooded woman now slowly walks up to the bar and Jackie greets her....*

Jackie: Welcome to One Eyed Jack's, aka the SPARKLE Bar & Lounge. I am One Eyed Jack, but you can call me Jackie. Everybody seems too. And you are.....

Hooded Woman: *Groans with disgust* You should already know who I am, you one eyed idiot.

*The hooded woman now throws a shiny gold belt on the bar counter. Jackie now looks it over and exclaims.....*

Jackie: OH MY GOD! YOU'RE TRACY! THE SPARKLE SHINING STAR CHAMPION!



Tracy: That's correct. And you surprised to see me in here?

Jackie *Nodding his head* Yes, I kinda am.

Tracy: And why is that?

Jackie: Cause aren't you too young to drink alcohol?

Tracy: WHAAAAAT?! NO!

Jackie: Just asking, sorry.

Tracy: Just asking huh? Well let me tell you something right now. Cause even if I was underage, you would still serve me something to drink. AND YOU KNOW WHY?! *Reaches over rhe counter and grabs Jackie by his shirt and bow tie*

Jackie *Struggling* ACK!

Tracy: CAUSE I AM THE CHAMP! THE SHOW STEALER! AND WHAT I SAY GOES AROUND HERE! GOT IT?! *Let's go of Jackie*

Jackie: I got it. *Whispering* That won't be for long though.

Tracy: What did you just say? TELL ME NOW! *Gets in Jackie's face again*

Jackie: AH! I said that won't be for long cause there is gonna be a new SPARKLE General Manager soon.

Tracy: WHAAAAAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Jackie: That is the news I keep hearing around here lately.

Tracy: What ELSE have you HEARD?

Jackie: Only that the new General Manager won't be your mother either.

Tracy: DAMN IT! I hate you, Jackie! I HATE YOU! And speaking of my mother, I've gotta go find and tell her.

*Tracy picks up her belt off the counter and begins to leave quickly. Jackie now tells her as she does....*

Jackie: What the hell, no tip?

Tracy: Oh yeah, I almost forgot.....TAKE A BATH, YOU STINK! *Leaves the bar.*

Jackie: *Groaning in anger* Ugh, what a cheapskate.

*The scene now fades out a close from there*

Trevor Mach: Ladies and gentlemen! I think it's time for a change in wrestling. I think it's time for a little more bravado! I think it's time for some "exaggerated pride" because why not? We're going to take it up a couple notches, and I'm getting jacked up just thinking about all the chaotic fun we're going to have! This Machismo Office! This place isn't going to be about the drama of EBW vs. WAR, but WAR is more than welcome to come in if they want to get embarrassed. This isn't about the Zodiac, but again.....more than welcome. Here, we're going to wrestling, and we're going to be the best at it. I have with me some young talent and some veterans including myself. We're going to fight like hell later tonight for this, I call this belt the Macho Hero Grand Championship. It will be the symbol of Machismo Office signifying the best of the best. The price for entry to Gauntlet for the Gold won't be cheap for two men. Amigo and Simon Stuart have both agreed to turn in their titles for a chance at this best. How can Amigo turn in the Maelstrom belt for a shot at this belt you might ask? Well that's simple, I started Maelstrom, Hybrid Fighting was my idea, so I'm bringing it into Machismo Office. Simon Stuart doesn't really have much of a choice in the matter if he wants to be a champion, though I bet sticking it to me personally is giving him some added incentive, and that's fine. I'm going to be in the match myself, so he'll have plenty of opportunity to do just that! That is of course after I step into the ring with the big man Chu Chu. I want to personally see what this kid has got, and I'll find out in a 30 Minute Iron Man Match! Why and Iron Man match AND the Gauntlet for the Gold? Well see my wife and daughter are in the arena tonight, and I REALLY want to impress Little M's! Ha! Let's kick this off! Welcome to Machismo Office! BOOSH!



The opening day for Machismo Office was here. A quick change to the EBW Network Lineup and rapid announcement didn't give for much time for ticket sales, but the large Bonk! Energy Sports Arena still saw a large influx of fans though not a total sell out. Lady M's was seen attending a wrestling show non-Sparkle related for the first time in some time, and even WAR's Tack Angel appeared to watch the action of Machismo Office. The show promised to be a different, and a step above the rest. Time for some Exaggerated Pride.

-The opening contest saw a 6-Man Tag, with two teams vying for a shot at the Gauntlet for the Gold match later in the night. Antonio Daman, Cherub Kid, and Doctor Degrees of EBW going against Fighter Daron, Ultimo Tiger, and Blue Lightning. Strong match, with high energy action from both teams. Daman, Degrees, and Cherub have come together into the more fluid trio however, and scored the pin after Degrees hit the PhDDT on Ultimo Tiger who then tagged in Cherub to hit the Cherub's Flight and score the pin. Big win for the protege of Tack Angel, and the rest of the team, as they go on to the Gauntlet later in the night. ***Stars

-Chu Chu was always seen as the standout of the Wrestling roster, and Trevor Mach wanted to see that skill and power for himself. The veteran returning to action squared off with the big man in an action packed 30 Minute Iron Man match.  The two shook hands before the start of the match, but when the bell rang it was all business. Mach immediately tried to go for a take down, but Chu Chu used his strength to fling Mach over the middle rope, and then took the action ringside, where he maintained control. Chu Chu forced Mach against the wall near the fans as he chopped and slapped away at his chest before suplexing him onto the unpadded floor. Trevor slowly got up as Chu Chu waited back in the ring, until Trevor pulled him out and hit a sort of backbreaker using the ring apron. Mach tied Chu Chu up in the ropes and hit him with a back splash followed by a German Suplex for a near fall. Mach tried to tie Chu chu up again, but Chu Chu got out and started working Mach’s neck. Chu Chu then went to the second rope and hit a bulldog. He ran against the ropes for a boot, but Trevor rolled out of the way and came back with a flying knee. He then busted out a Shining Wizard and tried to lock up Chu Chu in a Kimura, but Chu Chu managed to make it to the ropes and avoid the submission. Trevor's plan from here seemed to be to go for submissions, but he couldn't get the big man to submit. Later they locked up, with Trevor backing off to run the ropes. Chu Chu went for the lariat, but Trevor ducked it, bounced off the ropes on the other side, and back back with a double dropkick to the knees. With Chu Chu grounded, Trevor hit the signature Macha Ye and rolled up Chu Chu for the 1-2-3! Trevor scored the first pin, but the match wasn't over yet, and Chu Chu made him pay for it. He powered him around the ring and controlled the pace, as Trevor seemingly tweaked his knee on the Macha Ye, and Chu Chu used that to his advantage. A ring shaking Chokeslam later in the match lead to Chu Chu getting the pin on the multiple time for champion. As the minutes ticked down and the match progressed, both men were getting in big shots, but neither man could put away the other to break the time. Trevor made a last ditch effort at 29 minutes by escaping Chu Chu's Powerbomb attempt and turning it into a Reverse Trevorplex! Mach backed into the ropes and tried to get the fans jacked up and cheering. He rushed Chu Chu as he tried to get up and landed a Shining Black. 1-2-3! Trevor Mach got the pin, and as the seconds ticked down, narrowly managed to beat the youngster. After the match Trevor helped Chu Chu to his feet and raised his hand in respect. Chu Chu proved that he was ready for prime time by taking the veteran Mach to the distance. ****Stars

As Trevor and Chu Chu showed respect in the ring, Amigo quickly rushed the ring with a referee, telling her to ring the bell, as the Gauntlet for the Gold was about to get underway. Trevor, Chu Chu, and the fans were all caught off guard when Amigo attacked both men. He tied them both up into the ropes as he kicked and stomped away to get this match going.

-The rules for the Gauntlet for the Gold are simple. Every 60 seconds a new wrestler will enter the ring. When the ring is full the eliminations can begin over the top rope only. When two men are left in the ring it becomes a normal singles match. The winner will be crowned the first ever Macho Hero Grand Champion. Amigo had Trevor and Chu Chu trapped in the ropes as Antonio Daman came in. He considered joining Amigo in the assault, but hit him with a back breaker instead. The fans were booing Amigo's suddenly dirty tactics, but it didn't stop him from gouging Daman in the eyes before hitting his series of suplexes and tossing him into corner. Cherub Kid came in next and leaped off the top rope to splash Amigo, but Amigo rolled out of it and ended up lifting Cherub up for a high elevation German that forced his head against the mat hard. Amigo was cleaning house until Trevor and Chu Chu managed to free themselves and take him down with a double shoulder tackle. Simon Stuart came in with the idea to assist Amigo for now, and the two retook control on the ring. Doctor Degrees and Onisuiken were the next two to enter and they too were blindsided by Amigo and Stuart as they tried to enter the ring. Hashim Al-Singh's entrance kicked off the start of the elimination phase, and Amigo wasted no time in tossing Simon Stuart right out of the ring. Cherub again went high risk, but Amigo caught him off the top rope and quickly eliminated him as well. Trevor and Chu Chu finally got some momentum going, as they teamed to toss Hashim Al-Singh out of the ring almost as fast as he entered. Daman grabbed Amigo to toss him over the top rope, but Amigo clung onto the ring apron and trapped Daman in a release suplex to the outside. Degrees tried rushing Amigo, but the World Warrior side stepped him, resulting in a comical self elimination. Amigo hopped back into the ring along with Mach and Chu Chu. They all stared each other down until a commotion in the crowd took their focus. Members of the Zodiac were in the stands on their way to the ring. Mach was standing by challenging Scorpio to get into the ring. Amigo took the opportunity to toss Chu Chu out of the ring and quickly roll up Trevor Mach in the singles phase to get the 1-2-3! Amigo had made it through the Gauntlet to become the 1st ever Macho Hero Grand Champion. ****Stars

Amigo clung to the belt with near crazed eyes, as the fans booed his tactics in the match. Whether you like it or not though, Amigo dominated the Gauntlet and made history with the title win. Meanwhile, the Zodiac strikes again...

Retro Hippie: The voice of the Revolution is here to tell you all about why you need to watch this week's Xperience! Sure Xcite had a few good matches, like the WAR Invasion match, but Xperience has a card that from top to bottom screams must see! Zodiac is invading us again, and while I can no longer claim that it's a Trevor Mach plot to destroy us, I can now start to claim that it's a w00t plot to destroy us! The Infinity Division Championship will be on the line, and while neither fighter is affiliated with WAR, we are keeping our eyes on this one to see who we'll have to take the belt from in the future. Add to the fact that we have a stacked 4-Way to determine our representative in the EBW World Championship match and-

Sal Paradise: Step aside Hippie!

Retro Hippie: Hey what are you doing!? I-

Sal Paradise: I said stand aside! Get out of the recording booth before Jamie kicks your head in.

Jamie OD: I WANNA DO IT ANYWAYS! HAHAHA!

Retro Hippie: I'm leaving! I'm leaving!

Sal Paradise: Good. Now, we have some business to discuss. WAR was supposed to be the promotion that gave the breaks those that deserved them. Everyone was supposed to get a shot. The EBW Tag Team Champions are not on the next show, that's one thing that's unfortunate. I'm sure the ratings will tank without us. The bigger concern, is that their is a match to see who will go onto the EBW World Championship match, and neither of us are in it. Yet, the goody two shoes golden boy Tack Angel, who is married into management mind you, is in the match? The old timer Little Mac is in the match? Troy is in the match? KYO already lost his shot! We're not happy about this, and don't think that because we bought into the "revolution" that we're going to follow the dogma with blind loyalty. Lovekick is the franchise that holds this all together. Don't ever forget that....

Tack Angel: So I heard you two wanted to talk to me?

Jamie OD: Nope! HAHAHA!

Tack Angel: *sigh* Fine, I've heard that you two have a PROBLEM with me, and I'm the one who wants to have a talk.

Sal Paradise: We have nothing to say to the Boss's hubby wubby gumdrop! We aired our grievances, but we're far from done!

Tack Angel: Guys, you're the Tag Team Champions. You're a big part of WAR and we need to stick together to-

Sal Paradise: Stick together? Wrestling might be a team sport in the tag sense, but as a company we're done holding hands and singing Kumbaya! We got what we wanted out of the deal and now all bets are off. WAR is supposed to be our playground, and dammit we're going to play! That means just maybe we might crash your little #1 Contender match later tonight.

Tack Angel: Don't do that. This is important for us....and it's important to Amy because-

Sal Paradise: Amy Amy Amy! The boss has been making some bad decisions lately if you ask me. I mean sure she was ruthless enough to get us where we are, but not ruthless enough to finish the job perhaps? Maybe it's cause you went and knocked her up! Women have hormone issues during pregnancy. Maybe she's not mentally fit to run WAR right now.

Tack Angel: She is the one that put this all together, and while I don't agree with the means, the ends were supposed to lead to a unified roster focused on being the best and not letting petty differences and greed get in our way! I can stand by that, and I'll stand by my wife.

Sal Paradise: I'm sure you will Tack! Can't go too far off the leash. She wants you to be champion, so you find yourself in a #1 Contender match. What a coincidence. Things are as corrupt here as they were in EBW.

Tack Angel: Alright, if your problem is having me in that match then I'll play it your way. You want a match tonight? Want to make some cash and steal the show? One of you meet me in that ring tonight! I'll step out of the main event and prove to you the fairness of WAR. One on one tonight.

Sal Paradise: One on one? Are you kidding? Title matches make more money, and we're hitting the clubs tonight. We're going to need a lot of singles if you catch my drift. The voice of the people says, you find a partner and meet us in a NEW main event. We'll put the titles on the line and make a mockery of the Boss's boy toy and whoever is dumb enough to team with him. If you don't accept my terms then we'll give Amy Angel a taste of her own medicine and revolt. Might give her a taste of my medicine too!

Jamie OD: HAHAHA!

Tack Angel: Shut your mouth Paradise!

Sal Paradise: Oooo! Temper temper Tack! Looks like the timid seraphim DOES have some buttons to push!

Tack Angel: You guys got what you want. Tonight, I'll take you on, and take those belts from you. Maybe then you'll learn some respect.

Sal Paradise: Ha! Like that would ever happen. Come on Jamie, let's get ready to make an easy 2 grand tonight.

Tack Angel: *sigh*

Anwin: Way to stand your ground Tack! We had your back!

Tack Angel: Thanks guys. Either one of you know someone I can team with tonight? I put my foot in my mouth on this one.



The end of 2012 is quickly approaching, and while WAR as a separate brand has only existed for a short time, the whole EBW vs. WAR rivalry has been a significant part of the last year. The promotion of the people is hoping to cap off a banner year with a World Championship, and tonight WAR's representative will be determined in the 4-Way Championship match on Xcite. Zodiac will also attempt to grab a championship as well tonight, as Aries takes on Infinity Division Champion Rey Dorado. Also, an impromptu match has been made official. Tack Angel and a partner of his choice will take on Lovekick Connection with the belts on the line.

-The enigmatic Nikky made his WAR debut against the big man Hashim Al-Singh. Nikky made a splash on the EBW side with a surprise win over a veteran, and was looking to do the same here. Hashim hammered Nikky in the early goings, but he kept a smile on his face and a charismatic attitude. Hashim went for a lariat late in the match with Nikky ducking it and getting the drop on Hashim, dropping him with a Cradle Piledriver he calls the Golden Arrow and getting another impressive win. ***Stars

After the match Nikky walked to the back with WAR Leader Amy Angel close behind...



Amy Angel: Nikky! Nikky wait! Where are you going?

Nikky: I'm on my way out Mrs. Angel. I won my match, what more is there to do?

Amy Angel: Sign a contract for starters! That was impressive and I want you to be apart of WAR!

Nikky: Thanks, but no thanks.

Amy Angel: Eh?

Nikky: I keep flip flopping on who I should save. I haven't decided who really needs a hero just yet. Keep at it though, you just might change my mind.

Amy Angel: .....

Retro Hippie: Mrs. Angel? What are you going to do?

Amy Angel: I'm going to sign him. Nikky just have to become a member of the WAR roster. I need to up the offer on this contract.

-Tag action saw Anwin and Randy no Kachi continue to make waves against Mike Ishijima and RA. A quick match with the EBW defectors getting the offense and the fan support. RA tried to go high risk late in the bout, but Anwin met him on the top rope and dropped him with a Static Suplexplex followed by the pin. Anwin and RnK have proven their worth to the WAR roster and then some. ***Stars

-Zodiac entered the XP Zone once again, with Aquarius taking on Simon Stuart. A decent technical match that saw Aquarius and Stuart going hold for hold, but once again Aquarius blatantly cheated with a low blow and got himself DQ'd again. Just like on Xcite, Aquarius busted out a bucket of water and doused his opponent in the center of the ring. What is Aquarius trying to prove with all the DQs? N/A Stars

-The first title match of the evening saw Zodiac's Aries challenge Rey Dorado for the Infinity Division Championship. A Zodiac wrestler challenged an EBW wrestler in a WAR ring, and the challenge was accepted.
The match started with some solid mat work and both men trading momentum. Rey Dorado hit some armdrags and Aries crawled to the outside to regroup. Dorado went for a split-legged moonsault onto the floor, but he missed and landed on his feet. Dorado ended up on the other side of the guardrails, and in an impressive feat leaped over the railing onto Aries’s shoulders. Aries threw him into the guardrail and then took control of the match in the ring. He tossed Dorado into the ring steps and back into the ring. Once in the ring he charged for Dorado in the corner, but Dorado dodged and hit Aries with a Tiger Feint. He went high risk with a 450, but Aries put up his knees and did massive damage to Dorado. Late in the match Aries was trapped in a single leg crab screaming for Gemini to come out. The split personalities of Gemini were in conflict, but she ran down to the ring and helped Aries get his hand on the ropes. Dorado asked her to leave the ring and go to the back, but the dark half took over and low blowed Dorado. The champion turned directly into a Gore from Aries followed by the pin. 1-2-3! Aries had captured the Infinity Division Championship, bringing the gold to the Zodiac stable. ***1/2 Stars

They all celebrated in the ring while Bolshoi rushed down to help Rey Dorado who was out on the ground. Suddenly, Firebrand X appeared on the stage.



Firebrand X: Another dirty trick, another hollow victory. Aries, you have always been the one to take the easy way out. I'm not going to let you this time, nor am I going to let you haunt me or my career any longer. Zodiac were looking for a savior....a Sagittarius. I'm not going to be your savior Aries....I'm going to be your undoing. Xcite....you and me.....don't even put your ill gotten gains on the line. This isn't about a title....this about casting off my past once and for all. Gemini, you're better then what they have turned you into, but if you insist on being with Aries then you are a lost cause. Aries, the flames burn hotter then ever before, and I'm going to burn you....not as the Sagittarius....not as the Demon.....but as the Firebrand.

-The former 4-Way main event, has now become a 3-Way match, but the stakes were just as high. One of three men would become the WAR #1 Contender for the EBW World Championship. Little Mac and Troy have a long past together, and that of course lead to them teaming up on the deranged monster KYO. The wild eyed KYO wasn't about to get double teamed the entire match however, and locked the Hell Claw onto Mac before tossing him in the way of a wild boot from Troy. Mac was basically out while KYO and Troy traded sickening blows back and forth. Troy showed frustration at his inability to keep KYO down long enough for a pin, and got sloppy. That sloppiness lead to KYO getting the Hell Claw on Troy. Troy flailed about in a scene we have never seen before from him, but Mac recovered in time to plant KYO to the mat with a KO Punch. He then held KYO up long enough for Troy to land the Punt Kick and get the 1-2-3. KYO didn't stay down and went on the pursuit of Little Mac while Troy stood triumphant in the ring. ***Stars

After the match the EBW World Champion stood on top of the stage entrance looking down on Troy. He was soon joined by Kinniku Mike and Scorpio. These four men would battle for the EBW World Championship on the next Xcite...

-The new main event would see the EBW Tag Team Championships on the line, as Lovekick Connection would take on Tack Angel and a partner of his choosing. Tack unfortunately came out alone, unable to find a partner in time it seems, but still willing to take on both members of Lovekick. The prospect of taking on two former World Champions turned out to be as difficult as it sounded, with Sal and Jamie taking turns wearing down the Pushpin Seraphim. Tack nearly got a surprise pin on Sal following a quick Superkick, but Jamie responded by punting Tack in the skull to break the pin. Late in the match Notorious J.O.D had Tack on the ground in a chokehold trying to get him to stay down. Tack was fighting to remain conscious, but slowly started to slip. The referee started to raise his hand for the check, but suddenly the theme music of Trevor Mach started to play. The former EBW Boss rushed to the ring apron, tagged himself in by reaching down to Tack, and flipped into the ring. Sal Paradise tried to cut him off, but Trevor headbutted him and tossed him out of the ring. Jamie held onto the choke too long, and that allowed Trevor to bounce off the ropes and clock Jamie with a Macha Ye. Jamie tried to recover, but found himself in a precarious Cross Armbreaker. The Hooligan did all he could to reach for the ropes, but had to tap out before his arm snapped. Trevor Mach had come out to be Tack's partner and scored the Submission win, making Trevor Mach and Tack Angel Tag Team Champions together for the first time. ***1/2 Stars

Tack looked on in shock as confusion as Trevor helped him up and handed him one of the tag titles. As Trevor celebrated his first title in over a year, Tack and Amy Angel simply looked on. A shocking end to a big Xperience.

Nerma: Time once again for the Aftermath of this week's shows! Where we talk about what happened and-

Retro Hippie: Ratings time!

Nerma: Eh?

Retro Hippie: You heard me! Ratings time!

----------

-Weekly Ratings-

EBW: Xcite - 5.0

WAR: Xperience - 4.9

----------

Retro Hippie: HAHA! Check THAT out!

Nerma: What? We're close, but still ahead!

Retro Hippie: You dropped .1 while WAR maintained a super solid 4.9. We have a committed audience, while the EBW crowd couldn't bother to stick around.

Nerma: We're talking about .1 Hippie. You're the one who is committed....to an insane asylum.

Retro Hippie: The revolution has succeeded and you're just mad!

Nerma: Yeah, some revolution! WAR looks to be falling apart from within.

Retro Hippie: Oh that? Well....Lovekick are just.....hey wait....the SAME THING is happening to EBW! The whole wrestling world is wondering about Amigo's recent actions! Did you see Machismo Office?! I mean....I didn't....would never watch it....but a friend...of a friend....totally did. He told me that Amigo cleaned house and went for the kill in a very nefarious way. Very uncharacteristic I think.

Nerma: Yeah, that kind of stuff is perfect for WAR!

Retro Hippie: That's just....*sigh*...that's just not true at all.

Nerma: Don't get so upset you big baby. Amigo did seem to make a big change at the Machismo Office debut show, but what I'm talking about is Lovekick's threats of revolting against the so called revolution! Not only that though, it lead to Lovekick losing the tag belts in a very unexpected way!

Retro Hippie: That's right! That lowlife Trevor Mach stole the tag belts from WAR by stealing that match!

Nerma: WAR still has one of the belts Hippie.

Retro Hippie: ....Oh right...

Nerma: Yes, Trevor Mach came to the aid of longtime friend but recent rival and downright enemy Tack Angel. The former EBW Boss seemed all smiles as he was able to pull a fast one on Lovekick to give the duo their first tag title reign together. I for one am surprised about this, but it's true. Before not Trevor Mach and Tack Angel have never been a tag team. They have never been in a stable together either. They can barely stay in the same promotion!

Retro Hippie: How is it that these two are even friends!?

Nerma: Well maybe friendship can overcome all differences and-

Retro Hippie: Yeah I'm not buying it. It must be something else.

Nerma: *sigh* We got footage.....let's watch it.



Amy Angel: Just what the hell do you think you're doing here Mach!?

Trevor Mach: What does it look like! I just helped out my buddy and your hubby! I think a THANK YOU is in order!

Amy Angel: Why would I thank you for anything! Of all the nerve and-

Tack Angel: Thank you.

Amy Angel: Eh?

Tack Angel: Lovekick were out of line Amy and I was having trouble on my own. Despite our differences he did help me and I'm grateful so thank you. Now what I want to know is why? What's your angle Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Angle?

Tack Angel: I'm not in the mood for mind games, shenanigans, chaos, or anything else you got cooked up in your head.

Trevor Mach: You should know by now that you can always take me at face value. You're the one that's too oblivious to get it sometimes!

Tack Angel: Oblivious eh? You made me shoot you to prove a point before. I hate guns and you coerced me into some stupid ploy to-

Trevor Mach: I did NO SUCH THING! You did that!

Tack Angel: I did not! You did!

Trevor Mach: No you!

Tack Angel: You!

Trevor Mach: YOU!

Tack Angel: YOU!

Amy Angel: Enough!

Trevor Mach: I've only ever tried to be your friend.

Tack Angel: Yeah, well you and I have very different ideas about what it means to be a friend. I used to think we were on the same page, but I think we just have different books altogether.

Trevor Mach: I've got a great book for you! It's called "T'nT are the NEW Tag Team Champions!"

Tack Angel: Yeah, I've read that book and I just got the sequel. It's in stores now, it's called "The unpredictable psyche of Trevor Mach: Why trust is an issue around a madman".

Trevor Mach: Mad man!? You're just jealous that I live my life!

Tack Angel: Live your life?! You held the CEOs of every major gaming company in world hostage once!

Trevor Mach: Hey!

Tack Angel: What? You TOTALLY did that!

Trevor Mach: With like fake guns and stuff though! I turned out being right on that one! They were all dirty criminals! I believe it's all written down in a book called "Trevor Mach was right HAHAHAHA!".

Tack Angel: Yeah, you've read all the books, but where are when it's crunch time eh?

Trevor Mach: How dare you talk to me about the crunch! You know NOTHING about the crunch, you've never even been to the crunch!

Tack Angel: .....Been there once.

Trevor Mach: Oh, little day trip around the crunch. We can all go as tourists!

Tack Angel: What are we even talking about?!

Trevor Mach: I don't know!

Tack Angel: We're....uh....gonna go home now.

Trevor Mach: Fair enough....by the way....you guys have a lovely home.

Amy Angel: .......Thanks.

Tack Angel: Try not to break in again please.

Trevor Mach: .....No promises.

Tack Angel: *sigh* .....Thanks again for the save tonight....partner.

Trevor Mach: ....We still on for D&D this week?

Tack Angel: ....Possibly.

Trevor Mach: Cool.



Retro Hippie: I'm here with the enemy of all enemies. The most hated man according to me and the few other like minded people that I know. Camilo Ortega, what does it feel like to be so hated and evil and-

Camilo Ortega: I'd appreciate it if you'd stop talking. I came here to acknowledge WAR and to let you know that I take your representative as seriously as I do EBW's and Zodiacs. You might think I'm at a disadvantage, but I see it more this way. I have three possible targets to submit. I'm on the verge of becoming the longest reigning EBW World Champion in history. I got here by walking the path of Heaven, and even in the face of my greatest challenge, I will continue to walk that path, as I am the man who will rule over everything. I've said what I wanted to say. Stand aside.

Retro Hippie: ....Yeah....well.....take that....I sure showed him.....yeah.



Sal Paradise: Yeah....yeah...it's just like you said. I knew it all along really, was just waiting for it to get bad enough to make this call. Hey, Lovekick always had your back. You knew what you were talking about, while Amy Angel was more interested in bagging Tack, and some stupid family revenge plot. Yeah...I'm sure you've seen it yourself. I think now is the time that we remind them what this was supposed to be all about. I'm glad you agree. Remember....she betrayed you too. Alright....I'll be seeing you....real soon.

Tack Angel: That was delicious if not a bit greasy. What brought on the trip all the way out here?

Amy Angel: I don't know, I was just in the mood for something....not healthy for me.

Tack Angel: Cravings already eh?

Amy Angel: Heh, I guess so. Don't worry I won't make you go out in the middle of the night for pickles and ice cream or trout flavored yogurt or anything.

Tack Angel: Well I gladly will and-

Trevor Mach: HEYA TACK!

Tack Angel: WHOA! What the hell? Trevor?

Trevor Mach: Sup brah!

Tack Angel: What are you doing here? How did you know we were even here?

Trevor Mach: You were talking it about it back at your place!

Tack Angel: You weren't at our place.

Trevor Mach: .....Right.

Tack Angel: Trevor?

Trevor Mach: So, I was thinking of a way for us to really get the fans excited and jacked up with us finally as Tag Team Champion! I know they will love it, Tali will....be busy with other stuff, but Little M's is going to flip! I just got her to watch the 80's classic Miami Connection with me and-

Tack Angel: Oh no. I know where this is going. I can tell by the shirt.

Trevor Mach: Exactly, we become the tag team Dragon Sound! Not only are we going to be the best tag team, but we're going to be a band that brings and brand new dimension in rock n' roll. By the way, do you know either Tae Kwon Do, or how to play the drums.

Tack Angel: *sigh* Where did you get that shirt?

Trevor Mach: That's the wrong question. The right question is "where is mine?". Don't worry, I've got you covered too and-

Scorpio: Pathetic!

Trevor Mach: Eh?

Amy Angel: Tack, it's Zodiac.

Tack Angel: Get back Amy!

Scorpio: A man who used to wield so much power fell from grace of his own accord before we could even do it for him. That doesn't mean I'm done with you Trevor Mach.

Trevor Mach: I didn't figure you were. You were a pain in my ass all last week. Why you picking a fight with me?

Scorpio: Look at me. Do you really have to ask? All I will say is that you and I are two of a kind.

Trevor Mach: I highly doubt that. I mean for one, I don't wear a mask and-

Tack Angel: You have a mask.

Trevor Mach: SHUT UP TACK! At least I'm not a vicious psychopath like-

Amy Angel: Actually you-

Trevor Mach: SHUT UP TACK's WIFE!

Leo: Don't worry about why we do what we do. The Zodiac live and die by the mask and our mission. A mission that would go much more smoothly if the two of you were out of the way. Aquarius, let's go.

Scorpio: Not getting involved myself. Got a match to get ready for. A match of importance. This referee is getting involved though. Get out there!

-Impromptu Wild Style battle saw Trevor Mach and Tack Angel the Tag Team Champions face off with Leo and Aquarius of Zodiac. The titles weren't on the line, but the stakes were high in this street fight. Customers of the nearby cafe poured out and surrounded the parking lot as the four grabbed everything they could to throw at each other. Aquarius rushed Trevor, but Trevor side stepped him and slammed his head into Amy Angel's car. When she objected he winked  at her and did it again. Leo had Tack on the ground, but Tack flipped him up and landed a high kick when he tried another take down. Aquarius flung a trash can lid at Trevor Mach and hit him in the chest. Trevor grabbed the lid and bashed him in the head with it. Scorpio lied about his inactivity and burst through the crowd to attack Trevor in the back with a pipe. Aquarius followed up by dropkicking Trevor to the ground and flipping off the hood of a car onto him, but only got a 2 count from the pin attempt. Tack chased off Scorpio only to get a bottle broken over his head by Leo who then forced him into the Liontamer. Tack fought the hold and flung Leo onto the hood of another car. He tried to get up and Tack knocked him to the ground with a spinning back kick. Trevor fought back to his feet and hit a series of elbows that left Aquarius woozy enough from Trevor to get a running start to land his flying knee kick that sent Aquarius through the windshield of Amy Angel's car. He dragged Aquarius off the hood and pinned him for the 1-2-3!

Trevor Mach: Suck on that Zodiac bitch! BOOSH! Aquarius is all washed up! HAHA! No seriously....he's bleeding out pretty badly....someone go inside and call an ambulance or something. I'll just be going.

Amy Angel: Hey wait a minute! You broke my windshield! Are you going to pay for that?!

Trevor Mach: .....Bye! Woowoowoowoowoowoo!

Tack Angel: *sigh*

-Wild Style Tag Team Non-Title Streetfight: Trevor Mach/Tack Angel beat Leo/Aquarius (5:41) via Mach Flying Knee through a windshield -> Pin

Kinniku Mike: Well look at you. New duds eh? You're certainly looking pleased with yourself.

Amigo: Why shouldn't I be. See this? It's a Championship, and it's mine.

Kinniku Mike: Does it matter how you got it?

Amigo: No, doesn't matter a bit.

Kinniku Mike: What's happening to you man?

Amigo: I'm tired of getting screwed around Mike. I know that's your thing, but it's not my thing. My eyes are open. No place in this sport for principles of discipline. That's all over with. I got some good advice from someone and it was like a wake up call.

Kinniku Mike: Who gave you the advice.

Amigo: Someone who was not you, and not listening to you for a change was the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Kinniku Mike: What are you saying?

Amigo: I'm saying I'm tired of you getting in my way and I want nothing more to do with you or our planned SURGE Generation revival. All I care about is what's good for me. I'm the only one that seems to care about my career anyways. No one was hyping up my big win on EBW Network all week. No one hyped the new Macho Hero Grand Champion appearing on Xcite tonight. No, more of the same about the sex fiend degenerate Kinniku Mike. I'm so sick of you.

Kinniku Mike: Don't sugar coat it Amigo. Don't expect me to let you keep going on about this either. Just cause we're friends doesn't mean I won't bust you open.

Amigo: Friends? HA! You're a joke. Just watch your back tonight Mike. Wouldn't want anything to happen to you before your big big shot eh?

Kinniku Mike: .....



The time has come for the big EBW World Championship edition of Xcite, where Camilo Ortega will put the belt on the line against Kinniku Mike, Scorpio, and Troy. All three earned a shot and all three stand a chance of taking the title, but not a 1 in 4 chance, cause we don't do stupid illogical static math like that in EBW. That's really just stupid. 1 in 4......that's would be like saying all four wrestlers are exactly the same in every way and random chance is the only deciding factor. I can't imagine a multimillion dollar corporation trying to use that as a selling point for a match as big as this.....I mean really.

-Opening bout say Nikky return to the EBW brand to show off his skills against Cherub Kid. The protege of Tack is still having trouble finding his footing, and the enigmatic free agent won a quick contest following his Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver. Good win for Nikky. ***Stars

After the match Nerma and President w00t tried chasing down Nikky...



Nerma: Nikky wait! I would love to get a word with you about-

President w00t: Forget a word, how about a whole career! I want this kid on our brand now! Nikky, sign up with us and make a lot of money!

Nikky: Ha! I appreciate the offer, but a hero requires more than financial gain before pledging his allegiance. EBW and WAR still have more to show me. Don't worry, I'm sure one of you will be saved.

President w00t: *sigh* I gotta sign this kid.

-A battered Leo and Aquarius of Zodiac invaded to take on Daman and Degrees in the next match up. Aquarius was covered in bandages after a street fight with Trevor and Tack over the weekend and let Leo do most of the heavy lifting, but he managed to sneak in some dirty tricks when the ref had his back turned. Leo managed to escape the PhDDT attempt by rushing into his corner, where Aquarius clocked him in the head with some foreign object. Leo took Degrees to the mat and landed his Lionsault followed by the Lion Tamer. Daman tried to get involved, but Aquarius dropkicked him out of the ring as Degrees submitted. Good recovery for the Zodiac tag team though another win by shady means. ***Stars

-The new EBW Tag Team Champions Trevor Mach and Tack Angel represent a bridge between EBW and WAR, a bridge that Lovekick Connection wished to burn down in their bid to regain the tag titles. High octane tag team action from both teams. Mach tried to get Tack to wear a "Dragon Sound" shirt before the match, but the Pushpin Seraphim opted not to in a comical scene. Both teams were on fire with rapid tags and combination attacks. Mach found himself held by Sal Paradise as Jamie was coming in for the kick, when Tack launched off the top rope to land a TaToBa Kick right into the chest of Notorious J.O.D. Late in the match a disturbance in the crowd distracted Trevor and Tack. It appeared to be the big man Destroyer A, the man that started the whole WAR feud in the first place. He was merely watching, and didn't get involved as Sal and Jamie seemed to welcome him to the show. Lovekick expected Destroyer A, but I don't think they expected Zodiac to go on the attack. Leo and Aquarius still had a score to settle, and they joined Scorpio in an attack on both teams, resulting in a No Contest. N/A Stars

A big brawl erupted while security was no where to be found. There was a reason for that as we cut to the back to see Amigo attacking Kinniku Mike viciously in the parking lot. The Red Shirts arrived on the scene as Swift, Degrees, and Daman tried to help Mike.



Amigo: Hey! I can't help it guys! I warned Mike to watch his back! You'll never underestimate me again Mike! I'm done playing nice with any of you! You saw what I can do to you. EBW is going to be Amigo's house now!

Doctor Degrees: He's bleeding pretty badly. Someone get me some gauze quickly. I don't know if he's going to be able to compete tonight with a gash this bad. Hurry up on that gauze!

-Firebrand X has had his hands full with the Zodiac, a group that he shares a mysterious past with since their arrival, and Aries has been his biggest rival. The man who now holds the Infinity Division Championship has taken Firebrand's title and flaunted his partnership with Gemini at every turn, provoking Firebrand to unleash the Demon, but tonight Firebrand was cool, calm, and collected as he stepped in the ring to face the ram. Firebrand even extended his hand to shake, but when Aries mocked the gesture he quickly found himself on the mat as Firebrand smashed his mask into Aries'. Firebrand has Aries scrambling to avoid the ground and pound of the hybrid fighter. Aries clung to the ropes and called out for Gemini to rush down to the ring. Firebrand backed off and let Aries get to his feet where they exchanged a series of holds before Firebrand landed the back body drop. He tried to quickly go high risk with the Phoenix Splash, but Aries rolled out of the way. Luckily, Firebrand saw it coming and rolled on impact to immediately get back to his feet and clocked Aries with a high kick. The action continued like this for most of the match, with Firebrand having the upper hand and Aries struggling to stop him. Late in the match Aries gouged Firebrand in the eyes and set him up in the corner for the Gore, but Gemini suddenly pushed Firebrand out of the way. Aries was livid at Gemini and yelled at her to get in the ring. He demanded that Gemini get in the ring and explain herself. She was conflicted as always but entered the ring. She argued with Aries, fed up with his cowardly ways. As Firebrand charged towards Aries he again used her as a human shield. This time Gemini shook off his inner conflict and stomped on Aries' foot, making him let go and opening up Firebrand to hit a Crash Fire Buster, that forced a horn on Aries' mask to snap off completely as Firebrand pinned him for the 1-2-3! Firebrand bested Aries and sent the Infinity Division Champion running. Firebrand and Gemini shared a moment before Firebrand waved to the crowd and walked to the back with Gemini following not too far behind. ****Stars

-Main event time, as the ruler of all Camilo Ortega would have to put the EBW World Championship up against 3 other men in his biggest challenge to date. Kinniku Mike was nowhere to be seen, but Troy and Scorpio were up to the task of dethroning the king, and teamed up in the early going. Camilo was just trying to stay alive at this point, as Scorpio and Troy clobbered down on him. He managed to sneak around Scorpio and take him down with a judo based throw, but Troy was there to immediately strike and brought the champ down with a big bodyslam. This continued for several minutes until Mike's music began to play. The bandaged up Mike tried limping to the ring, but Amigo appeared again to continue his attack. He wasn't about to let him get into the ring. The distraction paid off for Ortega though, as he brought Troy down with an STO and nearly got the pin on Scorpio with a Military press dropped into a bridging German suplex. Scorpio barely escaped and when Camilo tried to pick him up again Scorpio gouged the eyes and quickly went for the Scorpion Death Drop. 1-2-KICKOUT! The champ barely kicked out. Scorpio then pulled something out of his kneepad. It almost looked like a syringe and he loomed over Camilo Ortega with it. Suddenly, Trevor Mach rushed down to the ring, climbed to the apron and grabbed whatever was in his hand and stuck him with it in the back. Scorpio quickly left the ring and seemingly panicked as he climbed over the guardrail and through the fans to get away from Trevor Mach as quickly as possible. Back in the ring Troy had gotten to his feet and was looking to hit the punt kick. Camilo recovered and avoided the punt kick, instead hitting the Saka-Otoshi and locking in the submission until Troy was choked out. ****Stars

A chaotic match that somehow saw the champ prevail again. It's been the year of Camilo Ortega, but he will have one more challenge in 2012. E-1 Climax VII is now upon us. The countdown to the beginning of the end...

WELCOME TO 2013 EBW!

Announcer: It's a new year in EBW and WAR, with a lot of huge changes on the horizon. The battle between EBW and WAR is currently at a standstill, but it looks like they are hunkering down for a long fight, by making some roster cuts and looking to the future...



Announcer: During an EBW presser this morning, President w00t and WAR Leader Amy Angel presented five potential hires to EBW. One of them you know already in Dynamic Dougie Mach, who is finally looking to make his full fledged return, but we also have some new faces that could soon make waves for either side.

-Bonk Boy: A speedy masked Infinity wrestler who also happens to be the mascot for EBW's new sponsor Bonk! Energy!

-Ditch: A 90's VHS bootlegger brought to our time to put his extensive knowledge of old wrestling tapes to work.

-"DZ": Shady Yanki that may or may not have had ties to SSS in the past, and may still. Extensive wrestling background from his days in the underground fighting circuit.

-Magnum PT: The third generation star and grandson of Pretty Tony, Magnum PT has been waiting for his moment to show off his skills and his amazingly full chest hair and mustache.

Announcer: During the Presser, Amy Angel announced that since Xperience was preempted last week for the year end show, Xcite would be invaded by WAR for the draft/trade between the two warring factions that will occur. Apparently a behind the scenes deal has already taken place, as Cherub Kid is finally joining his mentor Tack Angel on the WAR side. A strategic move as they are in desperate need of fan favorites to get the crowds on their side. Amy Angel also announced that WAR would be introducing an exclusive secondary title called the Euro-continental Championship or "EC" Title, while the Eagleland Championship will become EBW exclusive. During the conference, both sides were amicable, but both were promising to be inventive and different this year to freshen up wrestling, and try to run the other out of business. w00t promised to unite EBW under one banner by year's end. Amy Angel promised that the banner would belong to WAR. While they bickered. The screen above went black, as Leo of the Zodiac appeared....

Leo: EBW....WAR....while you plan for your future, we plan for your demise. See this year, will be the year that Zodiac reveals all and the chosen one will lead us to our destiny. The plan is in motion and the poison is already injected.....you just don't know where......or who. Furthermore I-

Trevor Mach: Hey! Enough of this clown! I could wear a mask and be all ominous too, but you don't see me doing that....cause it's dumb!

Tack Angel: Pst! Hey Trevor, you've like totally done this before.

Trevor Mach: But it's very wise....very VERY wise! Listen, you want to make a splash this year? Then do it against the Tag Team Champions! Do it against Dragon Sound! Yeah!

Tack Angel: Alright one, I never agreed to that team name. Two, I already have a match booked for the first Xcite of the year.

Trevor Mach: Oh....see we gotta work on our communications skills. Get some team building meetings in or something. Alright then Leo, bring your ass to the ring on Xcite and I'll drop you like a bad habit. I already dropped Scorpio. At this rate you might as well call me the Zodiac Killer!

Tack Angel: TREVOR! NO!

Trevor Mach: What?

Tack Angel: *whispers*

Trevor Mach: Oh.....OH.....oooooooh. Yeah, so like I said, you can call me the....uh....guy who doesn't like the Zodiac....none too much!

Tack Angel: *sigh*

----------

Announcer: The Presser ended with Firebrand X coming out for a photo op as the new EBW World Champion. He kept to himself and didn't say a word. Former champion Camilo Ortega was also on the scene, but he too was mum on future plans or details. He did look a little worse for wear though, visibly limping back to EBW Tower. Perhaps the final battle of 2012 has left Camilo injured? We end this news update with a list of those released from their contracts and those who were not resigned. We wish you all luck and hope that you return one day better than ever...

-

On top of my throne, as king. I sit upon it in content.

Amused, to say the very least. But time; time echoes upon my side. For I am the null and the infinite. I am the conqueror and victor of EBW.

This gold that lay upon my skin, entitling me as your savior. It is but a crown that shall pass on within the time that sees fit.

The maddening masterpiece of such a monstrous Midas... the sin of greed is predicted. I am your Firebrand. I am the one called X.

-



Camilo Ortega: Forgive me for the sudden start to tonight's show. I didn't want to waste your time with what I have to say. I wish to keep it short and to the point, but it's necessary, as you all must know. My Grandmother used to tell me to count my blessings, and I look back on 2012 as the year God smiled upon Camilo Ortega. That all came to an end at the stroke of midnight, New Year's Eve. While walking the path of Heaven, I found myself heading towards a bright light, a warm glow in the distance that I would have to reach. That light radiated like the flames of a phoenix, and it was at this time I realized that I would have to face my greatest challenge in Firebrand X. That night he proved to be the better man, but we learn from our mistakes. While his light shines brightly, I refuse to let mine diminish. I will not go gently into that good night, no, I will rage, rage against the dying of the light. I have been told by Doctor Degrees that during the match the other night I tore some muscles in my leg, and while his recovery process cuts down the time I will have to wait, I do indeed need to take time off. I don't do this for me, but I do this for Firebrand the new champion, who I know will expect the very best. I was not supposed to be mobile tonight, but I refused to come out here in a wheel chair. I will stand like a man, and I ask Firebrand X to join me in the ring.

Firebrand X: I'm here Camilo, and I'm on my way. It takes a real man to do what you're doing here right now and I respect you for it. You were truly the best of this generation's champions. My goal as the new champion will be to surpass you, but even I'll admit it's not an easy task.

Camilo Ortega: I wanted to shake your hand one more time, for giving me the fight I was waiting for. You reminded me why we do this. You reminded me about the true magic and power in professional wrestling. You have my gratitude, and you have my promise that I will be back all too soon for my rematch.

Firebrand X: I look forward to it. I really do.

Camilo Ortega: Farewell EBW, I will be back to achieve my destiny, and become the ruler over all. Until then, look to the Phoenix to lead you...

Firebrand X: What can I say that hasn't already been said? This championship is the goal of any one of us, but my time has come. I fell from the sky, but just as quickly I erupted to the heavens to claim this belt. I find myself with a lot to be thankful for, and the rage inside slowly dissipates, but within me is still fire that burns brighter than ever. The fire of being the best, and I will accept the challenges of anyone from EBW, WAR, or Zodiac. Come at me world, I'm ready.



It's the first show in the new year, and we began the show with the ultimate show of respect. The torch is passed, and Firebrand X is the new EBW World Champion. With a new year and a new champion also comes a new future for EBW as well as WAR. The promotion battle is going into full swing, with roster cuts and trades opening the door to the return of Dynamic Dougie Mach and four rookies looking to achieve the same success in 2013 that Camilo Ortega and Firebrand X earned in 2012. The newcomers would open this special joint show titled "New World 2013". President w00t and Amy Angel stood by to observe who they would want to join their ranks.

-Opening bout saw the rookies Magnum PT, Ditch, Bonk Boy, and "DZ" all make their debuts on a big stage and in a big way. A 4-Way bout to allow them to show off their skills to the President and the WAR leader who might want them drafted to their promotion. PT, Ditch, and "DZ" all turned to the corporate rep Bonk Boy and tried to quickly toss him out of the ring, but he got off to a good start by using his impressive speed to go to the top rope and splash down on his opponents. Bonk Boy, the enthusiastic mascot seemed jittery from his own product, but left a good impression so far. "DZ" the Yanki cut throat made him pay for it by pushing him into a corner and letting a series of slaps, back hands, and palm strikes to the face bring the mascot to his knees, where he then planted a foot in his face and shoved him out of the ring. Magnum PT appeared behind "DZ" and slammed him with a backdrop, and showed his well rounded game by attempting a Kimura with body scissors. Ditch broke up the attempt with a flip onto his opponents. He tossed PT over the top rope and onto the ring apron and attempted a jumping somersault senton on "DZ", but the Yanki put his knees up and and proceeded to rough up Ditch. Back and forth from the new blood, and the audience ate it up. Late in the match "DZ" and PT traded back hands to the chest to see who could take more. "DZ" looked to hit harder, but the manly bushy chest hair of PT cushioned the blow. Bonk Boy and Ditch came down from two different directions, but they were both caught and slammed to the mat. PT also brought down "DZ" with a slam before picking Bonk Boy to face the Super Swinging Neckbreaker known as the Mustache Ride before getting the pin and the win. ***Stars

Huge impressive win for Magnum PT. "DZ" didn't give him too much time to celebrate though and blindsided him before walking up to both w00t and Amy to let them know that he is the man to draft.



Hater: Nyah! Hater here the former EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega. Nyah....that's really awkward to say. You were champion for so long but-

Camilo Ortega: Hold that thought.....can we help you?

Nikky: Me? No, I don't need help, but I can help you. I can take the burden off your shoulders and let you know that I will save wrestling for you.

Camilo Ortega: I'm not burdened, and I will look to people like myself and Firebrand X to carry wrestling into the future. I don't know you. I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want.

Nikky: You don't have to know. All you have to know is that I'm here, and you have nothing to fear. The future is golden.

Camilo Ortega: Whose future? EBW? WAR? Someone else?

Nikky: .....Yes...Enjoy your vacation Ortega. I'll put in the work for you.

Camilo Ortega: .....

-Huge match up next, as Kinniku Mike and Tack Angel fought for the first draft pick of the night. Both were looking to supplement their respective sides, and that added extra motivation to what was already going to be an excellent match. Tack and Mike traded moves back and forth like you would expect, with Mike slamming Tack around until Tack could fire back with his lethal kicks followed by the obligatory TaToBa Kick that couldn't take Mike off his feet. Mike went for the Blue Sonoko Bomb, but Tack escaped and tried to counter with the Angel Driver. Neither man could seal the deal. Amigo suddenly popped out of the crowd and cheered for Mike. Mike tried to shake it off and not get distracted, but when Tack whipped Mike into the corner, Amigo hopped onto the ring apron and mocked rubbing his shoulders and poured water on him. Mike pushed him off the side of the ring, but that opened him up to a huge high kick from Tack, who took advantage out of necessity and used the Wrist Clutch Angel Driver to put Mike down for the 1-2-3. ***1/2 Stars

After the match Tack grabbed a note from Amy and a microphone.

Tack Angel: WAR gets the first draft due to the stipulations of the match and we pick......uh oh....really Amy? Alright then, he's fantastic but still.....WAR picks.....Dynamic Dougie!

Shocking move from WAR, as the anti-Mach promotion has picked a Mach to join their ranks. A beloved wrestler of the people, Dougie's hard luck status has enamored him with the fans.



Trevor Mach: WHAT THE FUCK TACK?!

Tack Angel: Oh crap, here we go. Trevor I-

Dynamic Dougie: Hey Trev! I'm back!

Trevor Mach: Yeah! I see that! Not for long though! You're going to WAR! Cause Tack Angel is a bitch prick fuck!

Tack Angel: Whoa! Calm down man! This was Amy's doing!

Trevor Mach: OF COURSE! IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!

Amy Angel: I never said it wasn't you psycho!

Trevor Mach: What is your game!?

Amy Angel: No games Trevor. My disdain of the Machs begins and ends with you. Dougie Mach is a fantastic get for us, and we need real heroes to show to the wrestling world and inspire them. We're going to show them that WAR is the place for hope!

Trevor Mach: ....I'm the bullshit artist around here Tack's wife, don't take my gimmick!

Tack Angel: She's being sincere Trevor!

Trevor Mach: Whatever! Dougie's the best hope you guys have for getting viewers.

Dynamic Dougie: You really think so?

Trevor Mach: Of course. They feel sorry for you being a ginger bastard. Teh sympathy ratingz!

Dynamic Dougie: ....Oh.

Trevor Mach: HA! Just goofing brah! Tack...I wanna apologize....on your behalf for getting me so heated then.....I forgive you.

Tack Angel *sigh* That's good I suppose.

Trevor Mach: By the way, you really need to learn the drums brah. Dragon Sound has got a gig coming up in Summers.

Tack Angel: What?! Why would you book us for that? At least I have several months I guess, but I really think you should-

Trevor Mach: No, I mean in the city of Summers. The date is like....next week.

Tack Angel: ................SHIT!

Trevor Mach: Haha, made you curse!

-Lovekick Connection ruined what could have been a classic encounter against Jet Set Future in this tag match with 2 draft picks on the line. They were still upset and disgruntled from the E-1 Climax, and spent more time messing with fans and tearing up signs then trying to fight JSF. They finally openly attacked the Luchablades duo with chairs getting DQ'd on purpose before heading to the back, flipping off the crowd as they went. N/A Stars

Vice President Ryan IQ made his way to the ring with a mic in hand after the match.

Vice President Ryan IQ: So it seems like Lovekick Connection sabotaged their own chance to get two prime picks to join WAR. That's fine with EBW, we'll take it. We're also going to take "DZ" and Ditch. I like the cut of their collective jibs......profitable jibs.....yeah.

-Another big tag match with 2 draft picks on the line saw Troy and Simon Stuart team up to take on Antonio Daman and Doctor Degrees. Cherub Kid tried to wish his old partners luck, but Little Mac rushed him to the back and stayed to cheer on Troy and Stuart. An odd pairing to be sure, but they worked well together with Troy knocking down Simon's setups. Thanks to some outside help from Mac, Degrees found himself walking right into a Backslide from Simon followed by the pin. Big win for WAR with the 2 Picks. ***Stars

After the match Retro Hippie rushed out.

Retro Hippie: HAHA! WAR's got the final two picks so Magnum PT and Bonk Boy are joining WAR! WOOHOO! WAR is the new home for wrestling's heroes!

Suddenly the video feed cut out to the parking lot where Kinniku Mike was brawling with Amigo and slamming him into the hood of a truck.



Kinniku Mike: DAMN YOU AMIGO! I'm tired of screwing around with you! You want to play we can play!

Amigo: Haha! You getting mad Mike? Feeling the pressure of having other people ruin your career? Maybe you're finally getting it!

Kinniku Mike: I get that I'm going to kick your ass in that ring!

Amigo: We'll fight when I want and where I want Mike! You're not calling the shots! I'm making my career the way I want it! Learn your lesson and stay out of my way!

Kinniku Mike: .......GAAAAAH!

-Swift made his V2 defense of the Eagleland Champion against the 4-Time former champ Noah Jennings in a rather short, but comedic match. Noah tried everything he could to calm the beast, and even tried his old trick of forcing a count out win by luring Swift out, but Swift was too fast and tracked down Noah, dragging him back into the ring before setting up the Blackhammer and the pin. Noah's seedy tricks won't work on everyone, and he'll have to step up his in ring game if he wants the Eagleland Championship back around his waist. **1/2 Stars

-Main event time, as the EBW World Champion Firebrand X teamed up with Tag Champion Trevor Mach against the invaders Leo and Infinity Division Champion Aries. Mach wore his wolf mask in a show of respect and teamwork with the man that inherited his original mask. Zodiac tried to attack en mass before the bell rang, but FBX and Mach fought into the ring and demanded Aries and Leo get in the ring. They were about to when Mach launched himself into the crowd of five. He grabbed the newcomer Taurus by the horns and tossed him into Aquarius. Scorpio tried to get the drop on him, but the champ leaped over the top rope and came down hard on Scorpio. A 5-on-2 brawl eventually saw Zodiac win the numbers game and roll team Firebrand into the ring where they went for a big on Mach, but Firebrand drop kicked Aries to break the pin. Big feel match, with both sides trying to hit the big moves for the quick kill. Trevor Mach's shoot style wrestling served as the perfect compliment to the champ while Zodiac had the numbers to help them retain the advantage. Late in the bout Trevor and Leo were finally locking up as originally planned. They traded harsh palm strikes and kicks, with Mach winning out with a head butt. He tried pulling off Leo's mask to force him in the clinch for the knees. The headlock was reversed into a Nothern lights, that ended up into a bridge, with Trevor turning it around into a front suplex slam. He went for the Macha Ye to cap off the attack, but Aries rushed him and rammed Mach in the side. Trevor fell hard into his corner, but Firebrand blind tagged in and got the better of his old rival with a quick facebuster. Leo staggered to his feet just in time to fall back down to the Crash Fire Buster followed by the pin. Excellent win from the EBW team. ****Stars

Trevor and Firebrand celebrated after the match, but the rest of Zodiac hit the ring and made the duo pay for the loss. A huge brawl broke out ending the show with Zodiac promising the insults of 2012 would be paid for in 2013. Who knows what Zodiac has planned for this new year, but EBW will stand ready for every challenge in the new year.

Nerma: Nerma here with some news and updates for the first week of 2013! Changes are going to continue to ripple through EBW, and Trevor Mach's Machismo Office will see some big changes from its first show this week. The Hybrid Style that Trevor Mach helped bring to EBW is being modified into something called Shoot Rules, a brand new combination of Wrestling and MMA that will emphasize the pure combat of the sport.

-15 Minute Match Limit Singles
-30 Minute Match Limit Tag
-Time Limit Draw results in Judge's Decision
-Yellow Cards from a Rule Break will result in points lost
-After 2 Yellow Cards a Red Card will lead to Disqualification
-Closed fists allowed only when wearing Gloves
-Kicks and Knees to the head of a down opponent only when wearing pads
-Fighting outside of the ring or on the turnbuckles prohibited

Nerma: Taking out the round system and adding rules for tag matches will certainly create some interesting match ups to be sure. That's not the only changes coming to Machismo Office, as Trevor Mach is bringing in his own roster additions that....seem a little familiar to me.



Trevor Mach: I present to you the Macho Masks! Macho Mask #1 is the one on the far left over there and Macho Mask #2 is the red headed guy here. Hard to remember? Yeah, I can't blame you on that. I'm pretty sure I had their numbers the other way around yesterday, but I can't remember. These guys are going to show you what a Shoot Tag Team is all about. They are going to mop the floor with any tag team that's not consisting of myself and Tack Angel. Seriously guys, I wouldn't even try. Then again I-

Scorpio: Hey! Trevor Mach! I'm calling your ass out!

Trevor Mach: Seem flustered Scorpio. Got a chip on your shoulder? Some little philly break your heart?

Scorpio: I'm tired of seeing you run your mouth and act like you're worth a damn. Wrestling only has room for one of us! I call myself and scorpion and you liken yourself to the wolf, but we're both despicable and volatile, and only one of us can be left standing.

Trevor Mach: You don't have to keep flattering me Scorpio, if you want to throw down I'll throw down, but in my house it's my rules....Shoot Rules. You lace up your boots real tight, get some gloves, find a mouth guard so I don't bust your pretty little grill, and we'll throw down brah!

Scorpio: You're on....I'll see you tomorrow.....when I embarrass you at your own game.

Trevor Mach: The only thing embarrassing around here is this Zodiac invasion. I'm having fun knocking you guys out though, so bring it on bitches!

It's not easy being a champion. But to be the champion of champions in such a short time period? It would be maddening for most. Don't get me wrong, Parasites... I knew the phoenix would rise from the ashes. I knew the fire would blaze again. But so soon? ...heh, destiny must have something planned for me.

*He would hold up the title belt, getting a glimpse of himself in the reflection and Gemma in the background.*

My queen, you have returned. I take it that you were sending that thank you to the Mach family? No no, no need to answer that. It was only rhetorical, my dear. However, I will take this time to once again thank Trevor and family for the opportunity to be a part of EBW.

*sigh*

FBX: ...sometimes things are too easy, queen.

Gemma: What do you mean?

FBX: What I mean is that... this phoenix exists in a fourth dimension.

Gemma: ...I'm not sure I follow.

FBX: EBW, WAR, Zodiac. Three dimensions whom all interacted with one another. Yet, who had a connection to them all? Who was the link that kept "reality" in check?

*Gemma would nod.*

FBX: The master of reality is not merely a title, you see. I paint the course of history how I see fit. I do not fight on the side of good or evil, I fight on the side of personal-justice and honor when I see fit.

Gemma: But you think destiny has a course for you, King. How do you plan on seeing that you conquer destiny itself?

FBX: Simple. We exist within the fourth dimension of this reality. Lonely it may be, to be the royalty of EBW. But here, far away from the rest of the world... we shall manipulate the pawns into moving towards their correct destination.

Gemma: ...because it's your reality and we're just living in it.

FBX: No, reality has grown boring. So long as the Mach family is on our side and the championship is around my waist? That means this... this shall be our kingdom!

*Gemma would move closer to him, revealing that he was sitting upon a throne.*

Gemma: I have no idea where you're going with your rant, dear... you're kind of worrying me.

FBX: And for once, my queen? I do not know either. Let this voyage take us to wherever it may be...

Gemma: And conquer it.

FBX: Now that's the right idea, love.

*Gemma would join the champion upon the throne*

FBX: Till next time, Parasites.

Announcer: Before the year really heats up the wrestlers of EBW and WAR tried to show some civility with a company wide softball game. What started out peacefully quickly turned south when problems from of all people, the EBW Tag Team Champions...



Trevor Mach: Hey batter batter batter! Hey batter batter batter! Swing batter!

Tack Angel: Not gonna fall for it Trevor!

Swift: You're gonna fall for my fast ball when it's hitting you upside the head. >:C

Tack Angel: Sure Swift, walk me, then the bases will be loaded.

Swift: ...... >:C

Trevor Mach: Hey batter batter batter, hey....hey Tack Amy is going into labor!

Tack Angel: WHAT?! ALREADY!

Umpire: STRIKE 3! You're OUT!

Trevor Mach: Haha! I GOT YOU!

Tack Angel: Dammit Trevor, that wasn't funny!

Trevor Mach: You're just mad cause you stuck out!

Tack Angel: No, I'm mad because you don't care about anything! That's something important to me, and you used it against me!

Trevor Mach: Please! You wouldn't have even met Tack's wife if it wasn't for me! I hired her! I pointed her in your direction!

Tack Angel: Stop calling her that! She has a name! It's Amy!

Trevor Mach: I know that! It's funnier this way! HA!



Tack Angel: That's it! It's time we had it out right here and now! You do all this stuff to me and then you act all buddy buddy again like you didn't do anything?! You take everything WAY TOO FAR!

Trevor Mach: You don't take anything far enough! I just pushed you to come out of your damn shell! You were a hermit!

Tack Angel: So what? Nothing wrong with being a hermit!

Trevor Mach: You weren't the one having to hear about how lonely you were after Tracy!

Tack Angel: I never asked you to! Sorry if it's such a problem!

Trevor Mach: It's not a problem! Stop apologizing!

Tack Angel: SORRY!

Trevor Mach: See! There you go again!

Tack Angel: SORRY!

Trevor Mach: Dammit Tack, would ya knock it off!

Tack Angel: .....

Trevor Mach: Don't do it!

Tack Angel: ......SOOOOOOORRY!

Trevor Mach: GAH!

Tack Angel: Well I am! That's just the way I am! Quit trying to change me!

Trevor Mach: I'm not try to change you! I just wanted to have some fun!

Tack Angel: Your fun always shakes up my life! You always drag me down with you!

Trevor Mach: I never asked you to follow me!

Tack Angel: So I stopped! I got away! You fired me and I found my way without you or EBW!

Trevor Mach: That was me helping you again! I did that so you could be with Tack's wife who hates my guts! No conflict for the guy who can't make simple decisions on his own!

Tack Angel: I never asked for your help!

President w00t: Uh.....guys? We got a game to play here.

Vice President Ryan IQ: Just let em go. This has been a long time coming and frankly I'm slightly amused.

President w00t: You're right. We got the cameras going? Good.

Trevor Mach: Friends help because they want to, not because they are asked to!

Tack Angel: Maybe I don't want that kind of help! Maybe I'm fine on my own doing the things I want to do!

Trevor Mach: Then learn to say NO!



Tack Angel: And another thing, I'm getting sick of you throwing obscenities at me and my wife! We have names!

Trevor Mach: Deal with it bitch!

Tack Angel: See! You did it again!

Trevor Mach: I don't care! Like you said, it's what I do, don't try to change me!

Tack Angel: Don't try to use logic with me Trevor, you're lousy at logic!

Trevor Mach: Oh so the truth comes out! Mister middle of the road apathy really DOES think I'm stupid!

Tack Angel: Not stupid! CRAZY!

Trevor Mach: So?!

Tack Angel: You held a building hostage! You've blown up EBW Tower!

Trevor Mach: Are we going to keep bringing this up?! Live in the present! Not the past!

Tack Angel: HA! The pot calling the kettle black! You refuse to leave the 80's!

Trevor Mach: AND I NEVER WILL!

Lady M's: *sigh* Observe Little M's, Dumb and Dumber as played by Tack Angel and Trevor. How long have they been at this?

Amy Angel: Hours.....literally hours.

Lady M's: HEY! Can we wrap this up? Little M's and I want to get the hell home!

Trevor Mach: .....Fine!

Tack Angel: ......FINE!

Trevor Mach: What's that supposed to mean?

Tack Angel: Nothing! We actually agreed on that! I want to go home to my family!

Trevor Mach: Family?! Ha! Are you saying you have a better family than me?!

Tack Angel: WHAT?! Where did that come from! I said no such thing!

Trevor Mach: I'm #1 Dad Tack! NUMBER! ONE! DAD!

Tack Angel: Good for you!

Trevor Mach: I love my wife!

Tack Angel: AGAIN! Good for you!

Trevor Mach: THAT'S IT! YOU'VE FORCED MY HAND!

Tack Angel: What did I force?! What hand!?

Trevor Mach: You know what we have to do!

Tack Angel: Oh no.......oh no....OH NO!

Chu Chu: ENOUGH!

Trevor Mach: Eh?! Chu Chu?

Tack Angel: ......

Chu Chu: Why are you guys doing this? Why are you fighting? Why so much rage? If it were hatred you would have killed each other by now. What this is....is friendship.

Tack Angel: .....

Trevor Mach: .....

Chu Chu: You have both lived your lives like red and blue mix about as well as oil and water, but that's not the case.

Tack Angel: For the record, Trevor started that stupid troupe.

Trevor Mach: Shhh! Chu Chu's being philosophical and shit.

Tack Angel: .....and shit.

Chu Chu: The two of you have been through hell and while no two people are the same, friendship break the bonds of indifference. You wouldn't be so mad.....if you didn't care so much.

Trevor Mach: You shut your mouth about me caring Chu Chu!

Tack Angel: You care?

Trevor Mach: *sigh* Dammit! Of course I care. I've always cared! You're like a brother to me! You ARE a brother to me!

Tack Angel: Then why all the constant.....everything that you do?

Trevor Mach: I'M NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD!

Tack Angel: I know....that's why I've been upset.

Trevor Mach: Cause I'm crazy?

Tack Angel: No.....cause I know your medical condition. You might be better then you were, but you don't ever quite recover from what happened in your match with Destroyer A. I know about the brain damage. I know about the nerve damage.

Trevor Mach: .....It doesn't matter.

Tack Angel: It does!

Trevor Mach: It doesn't! No one cares!

Tack Angel: It's everyone's job to care! I care!

Trevor Mach: You do?

Tack Angel: Of course! We're friends right? Even if you are an absolute bastard!

Trevor Mach: .....*cough* best friends *cough* *cough*....

Tack Angel: What was that?

Trevor Mach: ........Best.....friends.....

Tack Angel: Darn right!

Trevor Mach: .......Yeah.

Tack Angel: Yeah.

Trevor Mach: FUCK YEAH!

Tack Angel: .....SHUCKS YEAH!

Trevor and Tack: YEAH!



Tack Angel: Amy! Amy!

Amy Angel: Oh Tack, I've been wondering where you've been.....and why you're bringing Trevor Mach here!

Tack Angel: Well we are the Tag Team Champions and buddies!

Amy Angel: .....Buddies?

Tack Angel: Yeah! Check this out! Trevor and I got matching jackets for our tag team! We're not going to go with Dragon Sound as a team name though. We've picked a real awesome name! You ready?

Amy Angel: .....I don't know?

Tack and Trevor: JUSTICE 87!

Amy Angel: .....Justice 87?

Trevor Mach: JUSTICE!

Tack Angel: Cool right?

Amy Angel: Um....I....

Machismo Office returned for a second installment, with the introduction of its brand new Shoot Rules that are the evolution of the Maelstrom Hybrid Style. Tonight's show would see Trevor Mach introduce Zodiac to these rules in the main event, but the Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo would also step into a Shoot Rules match against Fighter Daron. Chu Chu would collide with the bull Taurus of Zodiac, and the show would be kicked off with the Debuts of Macho Mask #1 and Macho Mask #2.

-Macho Mask #1 and Macho Mask #2 debuted for Machismo Office against Blue Lightning and Ultimo Tiger in a short exciting match. The Macho Masks are big strong guys that were able to over power their smaller opponents and keep them from going high risk with ground tactics. Macho Mask #1 got the win for his team with a Heel Hook Submission on Tiger. Great win for this new team while the members of The Wrestling continue to struggle to find themselves. ***Stars

-Chu Chu, one of the best and brightest to come out of The Wrestling class locked up with Zodiac's new bull muscle Taurus in a physically exhausting brawl. Hard shots and slams, nothing fancy, just brutal. Taurus is a jacked up monster, but Chu Chu was able to match up and take it. Taurus tried to knock Chu Chu down with a big Gore, but Chu Chu evaded and turned to grab Taurus by the throat. He went for the Chokeslam, but Taurus broke out of it and forced Chu Chu into the corner. He kicked and stomped till he was on the mat and shoved his boot into his throat until the referee had no choice but to call for the bell, giving Chu Chu a DQ victory. Taurus took this about as well as you would expect by attacking the referee on his way out. Taurus is an unruly monster! ***Stars

-The Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo and Fighter Daron kicked off the era of Shoot Rules with an entertaining bout. Fighter Daron came from this kind of background and as such was able to hold his own in a grappling contest with Amigo, going hold for hold and avoiding the deadly submissions. Amigo didn't wear gloves for this match, so he couldn't use closed fists, but that didn't stop him from clocking Daron with a sold punch that got him a Yellow Card. Daron responded by actually taking down Amigo and working him over with a ground and pound and a Kimura attempt, but Amigo escaped and tried to turn things around with an Ankle Lock, but Daron kicked away. He tried to throw a KO Punch, but Amigo shot around and went for the Sleeper Hold. Daron couldn't fight out of the hold and was choked out, giving the Grand Champion the first win of the Shoot Rules era. ***1/2 Stars

-The main event saw Tag Team Champion Trevor Mach have a rematch with Zodiac's Scorpio, but this time under Shoot Rules. Unlike the last match, both me brought the gloves and pads, and this was more of a striking contest. Trevor had the fans, his family, and his Justice 87 tag partner in his corner, while Scorpio was left without the Zodiac, but he proved he didn't need them with several near finishes on Trevor, using his elbows to bust open Mach, but Mach responded with a bloody headbutt when he got back to his feet and brought Scorpio in for the clinch and the signature knees. The 15 minute time limit was closing and Scorpio tried to take the match to the ground with a shoot attempt, but Trevor had it scouted and rushed with a Macha Ye that collided with the charging Scorpio and instantly blacked him out. Trevor won the match via KO and made a signal with his hands that he had carved up another member of Zodiac, this time on his home turf. ***1/2 Stars
