Announcer: News Flash! EBW Network has just gotten footage of an attack on the NEW EBW World Champion, when Zodiac blindsided him into a Wildstyle scenario. The self proclaimed "Master of Reality" was on hand in New Onett as part of a constant push by EBW officials to get the company back into the Onett area. Of course they once again wanted nothing to do with that. It was at this time the attack occurred. Infinity Division Champion Aries sent Taurus out to attack FBX, and body dropped him right onto the pavement hard. They brought out a referee, but this wasn't a match at all and more like abusing the system to try and embarrass the new champ...
-Wildstyle Falls Count Anywhere Singles: Taurus beat Firebrand X (0:05) via Back Body Drop on Pavement -> Pin
Announcer: Aries promised that they were just getting started with the new EBW World Champion, and said that next time they would demand that Firebrand put the belt on the line, or they would take it from him the hard way. This concludes the EBW Network News Update, now stay tuned for WAR: Xperience, ONLY on the EBW Network!
Amy Angel: Just where the hell do you think you too are going?! You're late....again!
Sal Paradise: Do we care?
Jamie OD: HAHA! NO! She thinks we care! HAHA!
Amy Angel: Save it! I've had all I can stand from Lovekick Connection. Sal, you turned your back on me, and Jamie OD.....I don't know what's wrong with Jamie OD, but it's bad. You guys cost us a clean sweep of the draft picks!
Sal Paradise: Again....do we care? You know you say you're sick of us, but in reality we're even more sick of you. You pathetic hypocrite. See, Sal Paradise was willing to play nice and work for you when it was good for me and the so called cause. The man of the people was going to be your champion to fight the good fight, but look at what you did the moment you got a little bit of power. You conformed! You gave me a taste of revolution, but I want the whole damn thing.
Amy Angel: That part is over. Now, we fight for the people by giving them the better promotion and-
Jamie OD: WRONG!
Sal Paradise: That part is far from over. That part is just beginning. Jamie OD and I are going to take that part and we're gonna run with it, cause we're not taking order from anyone anymore! See, we didn't REALLY join WAR for you. We did it for ourselves, but we also did it for a man with a vision named Destroyer A.
Jamie OD: Anarchy....is just....MORE FUN! AHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: He helped us, and now we're going to give him the key back into this dump, and back into EBW. Oh by the way, don't call us Lovekick Connection anymore. That name has kind of lost its meaning. Our sexual and physical prowess is not in question here. You can call us Firestarter!
Amy Angel: Lovekick....Firestarter....it makes no difference who you are, you work for WAR, and WAR works for the people! If you want to serve the cause you need to get in that ring tonight and fight for the people!
Sal Paradise: No! Don't you get it? We're done with the people! We catered to them for too long. We didn't really want to deal with pandering, and corporate sponsors, or "rules", and "regulations. Those people out there can walk to the beat of our drum if they feel like it, but it doesn't really matter. Firestarter is going to remind you what a revolution is. Hell, Zodiac has been running around doing that job for us! I'll admit that and I can't even really stand them! Out of our way....AMY.....we've got more to say, but not to you.
Amy Angel: Don't take another step or you lose your spots in the Euro-Continental Championship tournament.
Sal Paradise: I! DON'T! CARE! Your precious brother Stu is going to win that anyways. That's what you want isn't it? Geez, you're as two faced and pathetic as all the others. At least with us you know you stand, and if you don't get out of our way you won't be standing much longer.
Amy Angel: You're a bastard Sal, but even you wouldn't hit a pregnant woman!
Sal Paradise: Who me? I NEVER would! .......Jamie might.
Jamie OD: Wanna find out?! HAHAHA!
Amy Angel: ....Fine....go.....but you're out of the matches.
Sal Paradise: Whatever.
Amy Angel: *sigh*
Sal Paradise: Jamie, bust out the flag and the lighter, it's time to make an example.
Retro Hippie: Hey! What are you guys doing?!
Sal Paradise: Hippie, you rattle your saber for WAR's ends enough, now you can rattle it for us, or you can get knocked out.
Retro Hippie: What?
Sal Paradise: Jamie.
Jamie OD: GOTCHA!
*Jamie OD headbutts Retro Hippie*
Retro Hippie: OOF!
Sal Paradise: Is the camera on? It better be. Look at this WAR viewing audience. This flag is the symbol of our "wonderful" country, and yet I'm burning it to ashes. Why? Cause I'm SICK and TIRED of the bullshit hypocrisy in this country, in this city of Fourside, and in this very building. WAR was going to change everything, but they stopped just short of the finish line. Firestarter, is going burn up that finish line. We're going the anarchy route? Why? Boredom maybe.....mostly because.....we just feel like it. Oooo, what a motive right?! Newsflash, we're not here to impress you, and we're not here to entertain you. We're here to do what we want....when we want.
Jamie OD: I'm the Firestarter! Twisted Firestarter! AHAHAHAHA!
WAR is finding cracks in its armor as it looks to the future with brand new talent and the return of a fan favorite in the new home for pro wrestling heroes. Xperience opened up with controversy, as Sal Paradise and Jamie OD rebranded themselves as Firestarter, and promised to take WAR over the edge by any means necessary. Tonight, they find themselves removed from a mini tournament to crown the first WAR Euro-Continental Championship, the counterpart to the EBW Eagleland Championship. Also on the card, we would see the debuts of Bonk Boy and Magnum PT. In the main event, Trevor Mach would cross over to join his Tag Team Champion partner Tack Angel, Dynamic Dougie, and Cherub Kid to battle Zodiac.
-The opening match saw Bonk Boy get introduced to WAR, by a no nonsense Randy no Kachi, in a high energy Infinity Division style match up. Bonk Boy came out in high spirits and jittery off Bonk, and ran circles around the ring before flipping off the ground over the top rope in an impressive display of vertical leap. Bonk Boy was light on his feet, but green in the ring. He managed to drop RnK with a series of dropkicks, but that wouldn't keep him down long enough for the Swanton attempt that turned into a No Kachi Cutter and a pin. Welcome to WAR Bonk Boy. **1/2 Stars
-Magnum PT got off to a much better start in his WAR debut against Hashim Al-Singh. He had the classic good looks and charisma to instantly get him over with the ladies and mustache enthusiasts in the crowd. Hashim's bad of tricks were scouted by the third generation star, who kept clear of the signature boots and clutches to hit the Super Swinging Neckbreaker known at the Mustache Ride to get the win in his debut match. Magnum PT showed a lot of potential in the Xcite match, and this further elevated his young career. Fast, but entertaining match. Made good use of the 4 minutes.***Stars
After the match, Referee Nerdler ran to the back, where both Bonk Boy and Magnum PT were waiting.
Nerdler :*huff puff* Well....since Hippie is down and out tonight, it looks like they want me to pull double duty. I better get paid double for all of this. Bonk Boy and Magnum PT, welcome to the new home for pro wrestling heroes WAR! You both had good matches, I would know I was out there, but only one of you won. Bonk Boy, how are you taking the loss?
Bonk Boy: I take everything well when I have a nice refreshing can of orange Bonk! Energy! Mmmm, it gives me the energy I need, AND it improves my mood! You can't go wrong with Bonk! *wink*
Nerdler: Oh....oh so that's what you do....you shill....you're a shill. Shilly shill shill!
Bonk Boy: Mmmm! Bonk!
Nerdler: So, you're just here to sell product?
Bonk Boy: I'm here to show that with Bonk! Energy on your side, you can be the best in wrestling and win the gold!
Nerdler: How long has it been since you've slept?
Bonk Boy: .....Not important! Mmmm! Bonk!
Nerdler: Right. Magnum PT, you DID win your match tonight in impressive fashion. Do you think you did your family proud?
Magnum PT: Proud or not doesn't to me man. I just go with the flow and try to give those fans their monies worth. Give the kiddies a role model maybe, make the ladies fall in love, and teach the men out there how to grow a manly mustache complete with this bushy chest hair. That's the chest of a real man Nerdler. Want to touch it?
Nerdler: Um....actually....I kinda do.
Magnum PT: Too bad.
Nerdler: Oh.
Magnum PT: Don't get me wrong, I'm not an egotist like my father or my grandfather, who stunk up the place with his turn of the century boxer schtick. I'm a working guy, a blue collar Joe like all of you. I just find myself in the right place, at the right time, to do my thing and eventually get that beautiful gold around my waist. Now it's time to celebrate. Margaritas on me!
Nerdler: Sweet! I mean....dang....I gotta go be a referee again.....don't start the match without me!
-Euro-Continental Mini-Tournament saw a huge upset, as Anwin managed to overcome the Alpha Beta male Troy! Sal Paradise was out of the picture for this one, and Troy was poised to dominate on the white noise ninja, but he used his speed and agility to avoid the worst of the brute. He did get caught by a choke that sent him into a corner. Troy let the elbows fly and stomped away at Anwin. He backed up to Punt Kick Anwin, but Anwin rolled out of the way and Troy smashed his foot against the post. Troy backed right into a waiting Anwin who rolled him up for the shock pin and quickly took off running before the livid big guy could retaliate. Surprising ending elevated what could have been a squash. ***1/2 Stars
-Simon Stuart took on Little Mac in the other singles match to determine who will fight for the Euro-Continental Championship. Stu came out in new attire, new entrance music, and a new attitude. He showed respect to his veteran opponent, who didn't show him the same respect and tried to KO Punch him immediately, but Stu grabbed the fist, brought Mac down and nearly locked in an STF until Mac scrambled to get away. Stuart was in top form against the veteran, using his ground skills to keep Mac off his feet and negate his striking power. Fans quickly got behind this new attitude from Stuart and popped big when he ducked another KO Punch to kick Mac and land a Jumping Spike DDT to get the pin on Mac and get a huge upset over the former multiple time champion. Huge upset. ***1/2 Stars
Simon Stuart went to the back where Amy Angel congratulated him. Anwin also walked by and shared a nod with Stuart as he went out to the ring. The finals for this mini-tournament would be happening immediately. However, before Stuart could get back to the ring, Firestarter approached Anwin and wished him luck in his match. Neither of them left the ring side area, much to the dismay of Amy Angel...
-Entertaining bout between Stuart and Anwin battling for the right to be the first WAR Euro-Continental Champion. Stu started strong and tossed Anwin to the outside and hit a flying shoulder tackle causing. Anwin fired back with a backbreaker on the apron a short time later. They had some hard-hitting exchanges before Stu hit a backbreaker on the top turnbuckle for a 2 count. Anwin ended a big strike exchange with a jumping knee for a nearfall a short time later. Anwin climbed the turnbuckles and lifted Stu up for a super static suplex and the crowd went nuts. Stu recovered quickly from a gut buster after another big exchange and took out Anwin with a huge clothesline and both men were down. They battled back to their feet, where Anwin tried a Static Suplex, but Stu escaped and trapped Anwin in a Backslide for the sudden 1-2-3! Simon Stuart became the 1st WAR Euro-Continental Champion! ***1/2 Stars
After the match, Firestarter entered into the ring and pretended to celebrate with Simon before going on the attack. Amy Angel sent out security, but Firestarter fought them off and cleared the ring before mocking the boss and running off.
-Main event saw Tag Team Champions Justice 87 teamed up with returning wrestler turned "WAR Hero" Dynamic Dougie and Cherub Kid against Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, and Aquarius in a big, exciting 8-man free for all. The match erupted into a brawl almost immediately, and it took some time for the action to get under control in the ring. Trevor Mach made the off kilter decision to try and take on all four members of Zodiac in the ring. Tack and Cherub went high risk and splashed down on all four members. Dougie and Trevor traded blind tags as they worked over Aquarius in a funny display of the cousins reuniting in the ring. Back and forth action until a spam of finishers from everyone left Tack and Taurus in the ring. Tack found himself trying to deal with this big raging bull and getting gored into the corner, but on another attempt he dodged the gore and went for the Angel Driver. Taurus flipped him over and Tack scrambled to his feet just in time to see Cherub Kid try to crash down on Taurus, but he ate a head butt in midair that floored him hard. Trevor Mach rushed back into the ring and let the knee fly that knocked Taurus back. Trevor called for the TaToBa Kick, and as Tack went high risk, the crowd suddenly erupted in panic, as Destroyer A appeared on the balcony. Firestarter rushed back into the ring to take advantage of the chaos and cause a No Contest. N/A Stars
The show ended in a big way with a three way brawl with Justice 87, Firestarter, and Zodiac. All of this as the ominous presence of DA was causing fans to run out of the XP Zone. Anarchy was the mission for Firestarter. Mission accomplished.

Nerma: Welcome to AFTERMATH, where we look back at the last week and tell you about what you can expect in the week to follow. It was quite the first week of 2013 for EBW and WAR. Am I right Hippie?
Retro Hippie: .....
Nerma: You're awfully quiet for once. Care to explain?
Retro Hippie: ...My face hurts.
Nerma: Oh, still hurting from Jamie OD's assault?
Retro Hippie: ....I don't want to talk about it.
Nerma: Aw, I'm actually kinda sorta sorry Hippie.
Retro Hippie: Really?
Nerma: Yeah....kinda.
Retro Hippie: Thanks. I'm still not happy though. I mean look at the ratings!
----------
-Weekly Ratings-
EBW: Xcite - 4.8
WAR: Xperience - 4.6
----------
Retro Hippie: We were #1 for one whole week and now we dropped big time! What happened?
Nerma: Both shows took a bit of a dip Hippie. It's the start of a new year and people are back to work and kids are back to school. The crazy build up to the finish last year might have left some exhausted, and right now both companies are rebuilding and reorganizing for what we have in store this year. Those ratings are still great....even....*sigh*....WAR's.
Retro Hippie: :shy:
Nerma: Don't look at me like that you stupid hippie. Doesn't feel right us getting along.
Retro Hippie:
Nerma: Moving on, EBW will hold its first big pay per view of the year in the city of Summers! The home base for Sparkle, will play host to New Year Rising 2013. Watch as the stars of EBW...*cough* WAR *cough*.... and Zodiac warm up the winter with a hot battle in Summers City! The card has yet to be determined, but like always, we can expect the EBW World Championship to play huge roll don't miss it!

Nerma: Nerma here with another EBW News Update. Firestarter, the new name for the combination of Sal Paradise and Jamie OD is on the war path! They released this video earlier today, and now you can see it here first!
Sal Paradise: You would not BELIEVE how easy it is to get into the Xcite center. Just look at this place! What a dump! I see you too Swift! Marketing everywhere! Look at this, this Bonk! Energy machine. I never liked this stuff anyway. Look, we're even covered in marketing! Get this new Firestarter shirt....actually....you can't have it. We've got the only two. Deal with it. I just wanted to let you know that we're not going to be contained on one show. We're GOING to be on Xcite. That's all! Nothing more to see here! Move along! I said turn off the camera. Jamie, help him out.
Jamie OD: AHAHAHAHA! TURN IT OFF!
----------
Nerma: And now I'm joined in studio by our new EBW World Champion Firebrand X and Gemma. Glad to have you with us.
Firebrand X: Who has time to be glad in chaotic times.
Nerma: Uh.....me?
Firebrand X: ...Continue.
Nerma: You were recently attacked by Taurus of Zodiac, and they have promised to continue their assault until they get the EBW World Championship. How do you feel about all this?
Firebrand X: Cowards taking cowardly actions to avoid getting burned by the fire. I'll face them head on, but I don't have to do it alone. I-
Nikky: Need a hero to assist you, and don't worry.....I'll take the job.
Nerma: Nikky? Don't you already have a match on Xcite? Another example for w00t and Amy?
Nikky: I'm willing to pull all the stops to steal the show. That's what a hero would do.
Firebrand X: ....I already have someone in mind. I don't know you. I don't know your motivations. Thanks.....but no thanks.
Nikky: Your loss! Hope it all works out for you. Just remember EBW and WAR....I am the hero you need, and I'll prove it to you.
----------
Nerma: Nikky seems sure of himself, but he's not apart of the World Champion's plan, as he will team with Kinniku Mike against Zodiac. Taurus will not be on the team though, as he is set to face Noah Jennings. In other action we'll see Ditch and "DZ" get a warm welcome when they take on the EBW Tag Team Champions Justice 87. All of this and build up to New Year Rising 2013 on the next Xcite!

Last week on Xcite, the Master of Reality Firebrand X solidified his spot as the new EBW World Champion, while the new generation debuted, with two new members joining the roster. Tonight, not only would they get a "warm" welcome to their new home, but also the EBW World Champion would team with Kinniku Mike to take on Zodiac. Tonight's episode of Xcite would also introduce a new concept for the backstage area. A new interview section where the press will ask the hard hitting questions.
-Opening bout saw Nikky once again showcase his skills for the highest bidder. Both President w00t and Amy Angel had to be watching this match intently. Doctor Degrees got a measure of offense in with a quick opening flurry and a PhDDT, but Nikky kicked out of the finisher and shook off the opening minutes. A Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver brought the good Doctor down and secured the win for Nikky. The free agent continues to be undefeated. **1/2 Stars
After the match w00t and Angel tried to woo Nikky with big money contracts as he declined and escaped through the crowd.
-Tag Team Champions Justice 87 were up next, in a non-title match against the newest members of the EBW roster, Ditch and "DZ". Action packed match, with "DZ" making the perfect opponent for the Bushido shoot style of Mach, while Ditch had the size and reach to avoid most of Tack's kick based offense and brandish some kicks of his own while also showing off an impressive high flying style. Short sprint of a match with fast tags and an out of nowhere Macha Ye to Ditch leading to the pin for the veterans. The newcomers looked good though, already able to hang with two of the best in the business. ***1/2 Stars
Reporter #1: Tack Angel! How does it feel to be apart of another successful tag team!
Tack Angel: Well I-
Trevor Mach: This isn't just ANOTHER successful Tag Team! This is THE successful tag team! Justice 87! Woooo!
Tack Angel: Uh....yeah....what he said.
Reporter #2: What are your plans as a team moving forward?
Tack Angel: Well, we're going to keep fighting, winning, and proving that friendship and teamwork will overcome anything!
Trevor Mach: Uh....yeah....what he said. Look, I've been with previous teams before, and Tack's been....well a tag whore of sorts.
Tack Angel: Hey!
Trevor Mach: But the point is this. This is the first time we've tagged together full time, and that's for a reason! We've waited for time when the wrestling world would be ready for our collective awesomeness!
Tack Angel: We have?
Trevor Mach: We're a tag team straight out of the 80's! Nothing you can throw at us can compare to our 80's style and bravado!
Tack Angel: He's not speaking for me right now....for the record.
Trevor Mach: What do you see when you see the two of us? Best! Tag Team! Ever! BOOSH!
Sal Paradise: I'll tell you what I see.....a couple of pathetic jokes. You won those belts by blindsiding me and Jamie. Hey nice scheme by the way. Ensuring that you could collect twice the cash by being on both shows every week.
Jamie OD: Trevor Mach the family man! AHAHAHA!
Trevor Mach: Tack....get the Fire Extinguisher.
Tack Angel: You're right. They might light something up at any moment.
Trevor Mach: No, I just want something heavy to hit them with.
Tack Angel: ....Guess it works for both then.
Reporter #1: Sal Paradise! Jamie OD! Why are you here? Why are you interrupting Justice 87?
Sal Paradise: Justice? Ha! The only justice we'll get is if there two decide to hand over those title belts back to us, but I don't see that happening.
Tack Angel: I don't see that happening either Sal.
Trevor Mach: Me either, what a coincidence.
Sal Paradise: That's fine. We have no problems taking them back, and we WILL take them back.
Trevor Mach: Love to see you try Sal. I beat your pal retarded obviously, guess it's your turn.
Sal Paradise: You're the brain damaged one around here if you think that Justice 87 is any match for Firestarter. You guys are proof that the so called revolution was a farce, but we'll bring the real revolution.
Trevor Mach: You could keep talking about it, or we could step outside.
Tack Angel: Better yet, we could step in that ring tonight. If a title shot is what you want a match in that ring will prove you still deserve it.
Sal Paradise: You would get yourself embarrassed tonight?! You're both dumber than I thought! Don't talk to me one bit about what I deserve. I deserve to kick your ass and I deserve to kick your ass Mach. When I'm done, Jamie's gonna punt you into the stands. You'll be lucky if you walk away from this one. I promise!
-Noah Jennings ran afoul of an angry bull in the next match, as Taurus showcased his raw power against the former 4-Time Eagleland Champion. He wasted no time in goring Noah immediately and proceeding to do so over and over into the corner until the referee had no choice but to call for a stoppage, with Taurus scoring a dominate victory. **1/2 Stars
After the match Taurus tossed Noah out of the ring and demanded that Firebrand X accept his challenge with the EBW World Championship on the line.
-Next match saw a surprise return in an Infinity Division 4-Way match, as the enigmatic Hotlanta returned to the ring in epic fashion. He entered late in the match and cleared the ring, not saying a word as Bolshoi climbed back in and tried to offer him a flower. Hotlanta hit a facebuster onto Bolshoi as Grind and Switchback jumped to either side of the ring. Grind jumped first towards the veteran, but Hot caught him and tossed him into Switchback midair. Bolshoi arose just in time to eat a Bellerophon Bomb and get pinned. Exciting return win for Hotlanta. ***Stars
Nerma: Hotlanta! Wait!
Nerma: Hotlanta! Can we get a word? That was a surprising return! Where have you been? Can you tell us more about your plans?
Hotlanta: Plans? Redemption? Return? Infinity Division Championship.
Nerma: .....Huh....short and too the point. Well I hope Aries is ready. Hotlanta is back in action!
-Tag action followed with the EBW World Champion and Kinniku Mike joining forces against Zodiac members Leo and Scorpio. High paced match, with Mike working off steam by rapidly taking down Leo and Scorpio. Amigo was the source of the frustration, and Amigo continued this by coming out during the match to mockingly chant for Mike and Firebrand X. Late in the match Amigo lured Mike to the outside to brawl while Firebrand was being double teamed by Leo and Scorpio. Leo put him in the Lion Tamer, but Firebrand escaped and booted him out of the ring. Scorpio tried to go for the Death Drop, but Firebrand reversed it and took Scorpio to the ground going for a Kimura. Amigo whipped Mike into the side of the ring shaking the hold loose in the process allowing Scorpio to grab the ropes. Near the end Mike got back into the match after chucking Amigo into the crowd, but Amigo returned and distracted Mike long enough for Scorpio to hit the Scorpion Death Drop and pin Mike before the Champ could get involved. ***1/2 Stars
After the match the rest of Zodiac tried to close in on Mike and Firebrand X, but the champ fought them off long enough for Mike to chase them out.
Reporter #1: Firebrand! Champ! How you feeling about tonight's loss.
Firebrand X: Any match with that much interference I can't get too upset about. I strive to be the best and maintain my place atop the mountain. When Zodiac wants to get serious and pose a real threat in that ring then I'll get worried. In the meantime the fires will simmer for now.
Reporter #2: Taurus has challenged you for a shot at the EBW World Championship. Are you taking the challenge seriously?
Firebrand X: Camilo Ortega deserves his rematch. He deserves the shot. However, until he is fit to return I will take on all comers. The Master of Reality runs from no one. My Kingdom will not be usurped by the Bull. If he's serious then the fire will rise at New Year Rising 2013. Give me your best Zodiac.
Reporter #1: Mike, you're looking perturbed. Is it because of Amigo or-
Kinniku Mike: Of course it's from Amigo! That little bastard has made it his personal mission to destroy my career! I'm not going to allow that! Who in their right mind would! This has gone on far too long! Don't worry Firebrand, I'm not gunning for that belt again just yet. You sit on your throne for now. I'm hunting for Amigo and I'm going to take his scalp at New Year Rising!
Amigo: Take my scalp?! You already stole all my thunder! You want my scalp too? What about this title!? I'm the REAL Champion around here! Took Mach's own title before he could get his hands on it! You want this Mike? You want what I got? You always have! You've always wanted what I have! You've always taken it from me! Not anymore! I'm the better man! You hear me?! THE BETTER MAN!
Kinniku Mike: SAY IT TO MY FACE!
Amigo: I'M RIGHT HERE!
Kinniku Mike: COME ON!
Amigo: OUT OF MY WAY! Mike, you want me at New Year Rising you've got it! You hear me?! YOU GOT IT!
-Extra main event....never took place. Justice 87 made their second entrance of the night only to be blindsided by Sal Paradise, Jamie OD, and Destroyer A of all people. The two were assaulted with chairs and hard shots, with Mach going through a table and Tack getting knocked out with a chair in the ring. No Contest obviously. N/A Stars
The show ended with Firestarter making true on their word, with Justice 87 having to be carried out of the building. It appears that Destroyer A is back and he's officially a Firestarter....

Announcer: Machismo Office is heading to Summers! Ahead of New Year Rising in Summers, the Trevor Mach lead mini-promotion is heading down to promote and bring press for the big event...
Trevor Mach: See Tack, I told you it would be easy to book a building for the show!
Tack Angel: Yeah....but here?
Trevor Mach: What's wrong with Club New Wave?!
Tack Angel: ...Nothing....for you.
Trevor Mach: Tack, this is an 80's club in the hot neon streets of Summers. It's PERFECT for the show/concert.
Tack Angel: Right....wait...concert?
Trevor Mach: Yeah, that concert date I booked. This is the same place! Didn't think I forgot did you?
Tack Angel: Kinda hoped!
Trevor Mach: HA! It's funny cause I membereded!
Tack Angel: *sigh* ....I gotta work on the drums I guess.
Trevor Mach: Better! I got you a Keytar!
Tack Angel: Really? Well that changes everything!
Trevor Mach: I know right?!
?: ....This doesn't look good. We better tell da boss.
?: What the hell is this?!
Club Manager: Oh no not you guys again! What are you in here for! I fired you! What do you want Schemer?!
Schemer: Yeah you fired us for Machismo Office! That's bullshit! They took our jobs! You want to book them instead of us?! They came here to god damn wrestle for kids!
Club Manager: What the hell are you talking about!? I stopped letting Bad Henchmen Wrestling use this building for months! It's got nothing to do with any of this! Get out of here!
Schemer: You're gonna pay for this! You don't know what wrestling's all about!
Club Manager: What are you deaf? I said get out of here!
Schemer: This isn't over! You hear me! This isn't over!
Trevor Mach: Um...guys? You're like....in the road, and Tack said I couldn't run you over so could you like....uh....move?
Tack Angel: I don't think they're listening man.
Trevor Mach: Why do you say that?
Tack Angel: That one is breaking a beer bottle.
Trevor Mach: Oh yeah....I don't they're listening.
Tack Angel: ....Yeah....me either.
Schemer: YOU TWO!
Tack Angel: Yes....us two.
Schemer: You're gonna get it now!
Trevor Mach: Hey Tack....this doesn't look like the welcome wagon.
Tack Angel: You're telling me.
Schemer: Bad Henchmen Wrestling owns this town! You need to get out of here NOW!
Trevor Mach: Aren't you forgetting Sparkle?
Schemer: .....OTHER THAN SPARKLE....Bad Henchmen Wrestling owns this town!
Trevor Mach: Bad Henchmen! I like where this going.
Tack Angel: Yeah I bet.
Schemer: You're looking at Skinhead and Neckbeard, Bad Henchmen Wrestling's top tag team. You mess with them and they'll knock your teeth down your throat!
Trevor Mach: That sounds like a dare Tack!
Schemer: It's a Double Dare!
Tack Angel: Well we can't pass that up.
Skinhead: This fist is going right into your face Angel!
Tack Angel: Do your feet not work?
Trevor Mach: Bring it bitches!
Trevor Mach: Wow, that really got out of hand! I mean really, that escalated quickly!
Tack Angel: Where did all those henchmen come from? That was a brutal hours long fight in the streets of Summers!
Trevor Mach: It's a shame that the Hervey Cam wasn't around to capture it! Cause that was like, an amazing fight scene!
Tack Angel: I can't believe you challenged them to a Tag Title match at Machismo Office! Weren't we going to challenge Firestarter at New Year Rising with the belts on the line?
Trevor Mach: Yeah, but I don't give a fuck.
Tack Angel: ....Right. Well, at least I'll get paid for a title defense in Machismo Office right?
Trevor Mach: Hahahahahaha!
Tack Angel: Hahahahahahahaha!
Trevor Mach: Nope.
Tack Angel: Oh.

Big night for Machismo Office on it's third outing, as the Mach lead promotion went to Summers for a show at Club New Wave. Amidst the smoke, neon, and 80's synth beats, Machismo Office put on an entertaining four match show to promote the upcoming New Year Rising 2013 show in Summers. Bad Henchmen Wrestling is trying to make Justice 87 pay for encroaching on their territory, and that's why the tag belts are on the line in the main event...
-Opening match saw the high fliers Jet Set Future take on Team Macho Mask in exciting tag action. The luchablades stars kept to the ropes and the air to stop the Macho Mask team from being able to use their ground game effectively, and Grind got the win after Switchback took MM #2 to the ground with a legsweep while Grind got the Rolling Shooting Star Press for the pin. Exciting opening. Grade: A-
-Chu Chu battled Zodiac's Aquarius in a powerful performance. Despite the best efforts of Leo, Chu Chu managed to power Aquarius around the ring for the majority of the bout and finished him off with a ring shaking Chokeslam. The young powerhouse looked good against the Zodiac. Grade: B
-The Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo was none to pleased to not be in the main event of the show, and made Ultimo Tiger pay for it in a dominating Shoot Rules match. Amigo didn't wear gloves, but he didn't need punches as he hit a high elevation german almost immediately followed by a Rear Naked Choke that blacked out Ultimo Tiger, giving Amigo an impressive win. The vicious streak of Amigo continues to pay off. Grade: B
-Main event saw Justice 87 put the Tag Team Championship on the line against Neckbeard and Skinhead of Summers own Bad Henchmen Wrestling. Big match, with the Henchmen team overwhelming in the early going, until a Spinerbuster onto Trevor Mach was turned into a Trevor Triangle Choke that nearly ended the match for Neckbeard. Late in the match Trevor hit a barrage of elbows and knees on Skinhead before tagging out to Tack who quickly went to the top rope for a TaToBa Kick while Trevor tackled Neckbeard to the outside. An Angel Driver to Skinhead finished the job and Justice 87 scored the win and the first title defense. Grade: B+

Retro Hippie: The voice of the Revolution here and-
Sal Paradise: Out of the way Hippie!
Retro Hippie: What?! Not you guys again!
Jamie OD: HE SAID OUT OF THE WAY! HAHAHAHAHA!
Retro Hippie: Fine! Whatever! Geez!
Sal Paradise: Firestarter here with your news update or whatever, who really cares.
Jamie OD: I DON'T!
Sal Paradise: Let's see, WAR has released the card for Xperience blah blah blah....oh look.....we're in main event! About damn time!
Jamie OD: MAIN EVENT MONEY!
Sal Paradise: Against....Tack and Cherub? What the hell is this? Where is Trevor Mach? He ducking us or what?
Jamie OD: AHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: Oh wait, we got some sort of video package here. WAR Executive Amy Angel is going to what?!
Jamie OD: What?
Sal Paradise: Ha! "Amy Angel, is going to usher in the new "Heroic Era" of wrestling by bringing in special guests.....The Power Team."
Jamie OD: WHAT?! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: What are you thinking?! Those roided up, attention seeking, meat headed, motivational speakers? What in the actual Hell Amy? I gotta see this. Roll the footage!
Amy Angel: Hello WAR fans, I'm here with special guests The Power Team to tell you all about the new "Heroic Era" of professional wrestling! It's time to make things right, and prove that we deserve all we've gained in our fight with EBW by spreading a good message. That's why I brought in Jim Jacobs and the Power Team!
Jim Jacobs: Thanks Amy! The Power Team is here to teach you all a very important message about breaking your chains and making your dreams come true. We want to instill good positive morals to everyone and teach you that nothing can stop you from reaching your dreams! Be a dream maker not a dream breaker!
Tack Angel: Wha.....what's going on here?
Amy Angel: Oh Tack, look who I got for the next Xperience!
Tack Angel: The Power Team.....gr...great.....yeah.....good....and stuff.
Amy Angel: Tack, what's wrong?
Tack Angel: Nothing! Just feeling a little diabetic.
Amy Angel: Tack, I thought you of all people would appreciate this.
Tack Angel: I do Amy I do! Just a little cheesy. That's not what's got me puzzled. I want to know why Trevor isn't booked for Xperience.
Amy Angel: I think it's obvious. Just because he isn't President doesn't vindicate him or abdicate him of what he's done.
Tack Angel: And what has he done? I know you hold a grudge, but did he isn't the one who killed your-
Amy Angel: Don't take his side!
Tack Angel: I'm not taking his side. I know it hurts but-
Amy Angel: He's an EBW guy Tack. I'm trying my best to turn WAR into a more positive place to do some good, but with our own guys turning on us we can't have a chaotic element like Trevor Mach around. I especially don't want to keep paying him. You can understand that right?
Tack Angel: I guess, but we have to deal with guys like Sal and Jamie, and they have brought back Destroyer A. That guy.....nearly destroyed everything, and I know that wasn't your fault, as it wasn't your fault that he nearly killed Trevor Mach. That being said a guy like Trevor is what we need right now to deal with Firestarter. I'll tag with Cherub Kid, though, and we'll do our best. I know you're under a lot of stress, but think about it. I love you.
Amy Angel: .....
---------
Sal Paradise: Gag me, how ridiculous was that!?
Jamie OD: The lovebirds arguing over us? AHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: Yeah, you're going to need more than just Trevor Mach to take us on. We've got the big DA watching our backs. You're gonna need a whole freaking army pal!
Jamie OD: ARMY! AHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: That was good for a laugh. Well, we'll carve up Tack's little golden boy in the main event I'm sure. Then, we'll take back the belts at New Year Rising 2013. I think we got some other video here about the Euro-Continental Championship. Simon Stuart versus Dynamic Dougie? Psh! Whatever. Roll the footage.
Mike O: Hey WAR! Mike O here! The NEW backstage guy for WAR, cause WAR's got the GUTZ to hire a guy like me! This week we're gonna see Simon Stuart put the newly won strap on the line! He's got the drive and he's got the GUTZ, but why Dynamic Dougie as your hand picked opponent?
Simon Stuart: WAR is entering the "Heroic Age". A hero doesn't hold a grudge, and this issue between the Stuart Family and Mach Family can be settled like men in a wrestling ring.
Mike O: That's GREAT sportsmanship from the champ, but does the challenger feel the same!? Let's ask the reckless red head, the ginger monster, the fiercely freckled, Dynamic Dougie. DOUGIE!
Dynamic Dougie: Well I-

Announcer: Breaking news! It seems that Zodiac once again tried to make a move on the EBW World Champion Firebrand X earlier today. However, this time the "Master of Reality" was prepared, with Kinniku Mike and Antonio Daman serving as back up. Let's roll the footage...
Firebrand X: That trick only works once Zodiac. Don't think I don't know that trick. I perfected that trick for you guys! You're not getting my back again, but you're more than welcome to try face to face you parasites!
Taurus: I WANT YOU FIREBRAND X! I DON'T NEED YOUR DAMN BACK EXCEPT TO BREAK YOU OVER MY KNEE! YOU BETRAY ZODIAC YOU DON'T GET TO LIVE! KEEP THAT IN MIND GEMINI!
Firebrand X: You don't get to touch her....or look at her.....EVER! I know what you guys want. You want the keys to the castle. You want my possession. You want the EBW World Championship. That's fine, I won't blame you for that one. This possession, this belt makes one a target, but I've never been one to be a target. I'm more of a hunter myself. So I'm not going to run from you Taurus, raging bull. You want a shot at the title that's fine. Camilo Ortega is the true contender, but you can play pretend in your fantasy world. Just remember that when New Year Rising comes, it's time to wake up to reality....my reality.
Leo: We got what we came for. Let's go.
Scorpio: Biggest mistake of your life.
Aries: Don't worry Firebrand, I'll make sure I'm the last thing you see when Taurus carves you up.
Kinniku Mike: You gave them what they want man. Hope you know what you're doing.
Firebrand X: I always do.

Earlier Today...
Sal Paradise: Pardon the interruption, but your regularly scheduled broadcast is GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT! Power Team? Are you kidding me Amy? Really? You think this is going to make people stop hating you? Stop thinking you're a monster? A cold and calculating bitch? I regret to inform you that Power Team will NOT be able to appear tonight. Looks like you and Tack are gonna have to cuddle together and try and save face tonight, or you just might be exposed as the absolute hypocrite that you are. They'll try to save face, they'll put on their sympathetic faces and talk about heroes cause that's apparently what they think they are, but they're not. We can see right through that. I can smell the bullshit a mile away and I think you're full of it. I want to see if I'm right, not just about you, or Tack, but Trevor Mach too. I want to see what the green haired bitch can do under extreme pressure. I want to see what happens when you clip the wings off an angel. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT TREVOR MACH'S BLOOD SMELLS LIKE! I mean Power Team?! Really?! At first I thought this whole thing was funny, but as I thought about it it started to piss me off. It started to really piss me off. You want to play games that's fine, cause you're gonna get burned. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of all of you. You see my associate Destroyer A wearing a mask, but we all wear masks, and tonight I'm going to take off mine, and then I'm going to take the mask off of WAR. Then I'm going to hurt someone. I'm tired. I'm sick and tired. The games are over. A real WAR is coming to WAR.
New Year Rising 2013, the first big Pay Per View event of the year is soon approaching! On a night where Zodiac will make a move for the biggest prize in the business, and Justice 87 will battle Firestarter with the tag straps on the line, anything can and will happen, just like tonight. On a night that started with WAR's special guests being made examples of Firestarter, anything could happen, and it might not be pretty.
-Opening contest saw Simon Stuart make his first defense of the WAR Euro-Continental Championship against Dynamic Dougie, in a gesture of respect to mend the fences between the two families. Stuart is really starting to make waves with the fans as evidenced by the streamers they threw in to the ring for him. Top notch action between the rising champion and the veteran Mach. Dougie wrestled a more flash style, while Stuart was all business with chest chops and hard head dropping slams. The finish came when Stuart reversed the Dynamic DDT into his own Jumping Spike DDT for the pin and the D. Grade: B+
-Bonk Boy had a hard time with Randy no Kachi last week, and this week would see more of the same, only from Anwin. The tweaked out mascot for EBW's new sponsor was all manic action, but Anwin slowed it down and picked his spot for the Static Suplex before getting the pin. Fast Infinity Division action. Grade: B-
-Huge upset in the third match of the night, with Magnum PT continuing to show his instant worth, with a win over Troy. The Alpha Beta was large and in charge for most of the match, but a botched Boot attempt lead to the Mustache Ride, and the win for the 3rd Generation Star. Big win for the rookie, while Troy cursed his continued losing streak. Grade: B-
Sal Paradise: You know, when I was kid, I wasn't always living the good life. No, in fact I had it pretty hard I think. Grew up in a tough neighborhood, where you were lucky to survive the night. Drugs, violence, and abuse....and that was just at school. Things turned around though, when I decided I was sick of the bullshit. I got myself cleaned up, and I learned how to smile. It wasn't easy for me. I had to work at it believe it or not. That "honest babyface smile" doesn't come naturally for me. I put on the smile and I put on the gimmick of the ladies man for so long even I started to believe it. It too was bullshit, just like when I said I cared about the people. Again, a gimmick, and again bullshit. I'm taking that mask off. IT'S OFF NOW AND I'M NEVER PUTTING IT BACK ON! That guy was a phony.....just like Tack Angel. You know Tack, I've seen guys like you all my life. You like to play pretend that you're just an average guy trying to get by and do right by the fans and your family, but in reality that's just more bullshit. You like being adored. You like your spot. A spot I don't think you've earned. I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T! Wish I had a wife that wrote my paychecks! Maybe I'd get a few more zeros at the end of mine like you do yours! You're a fake! You're all hype! I'm willing to bet, that the first time you get hit, and I mean really REALLY REALLY HIT.....you're going to fold. You're going to cover up, and shrink, and CRUMBLE! Trevor Mach, you're a guy with an awful lot of bark, and but not a lot of bite. You think you made the right decision coming back to full time action? Wrong. You made the biggest mistake of your life, cause the last time you were wrestling full time you didn't have to deal with ME! Now.....you do. You're broken down and beaten. You're a liability! I have NO PROBLEM seeing to it that you spend the rest of your life in a wheel chair. I'd PROBABLY be saving your life. I'm sick and tired of both of you....of everyone here really. You all remind me of the street trash that used to stab me in the back and take from me. Now....I'm the one doing the stabbing.
-Taurus of the Zodiac is the new #1 Contender for the world belt, and he presented the strength that got him there in a one sided battle against Hashim Al-Singh. The foreign fighter was no match for the jacked up bull's strength, and ate a GORE before getting pin in just below a minute and a half. Good showing for Taurus, but the match was a squash.Grade: C+
-Main event saw Tack Angel and his protege Cherub Kid, go against the reinvigorated team of Sal Paradise and Jamie OD, now known as Firestarter. Sal and Jamie brought a no nonsense attitude to this fight, and were looking to hurt their opponents. Sal and Jamie double teamed Cherub until Tack went high risk with a splash off the ropes that sent them all out of the ring for a brawl and a near double count out. Later in the match, Sal looked like he was letting out some bottled up aggression when he battered Tack with hard shots and forced him to the mat for the Paradise Lock, but Tack managed to get to the ropes. Sal held on as long as he could to avoid the DQ. Cherub was trying to hold his own against the Hooligan J.O.D, but a barrage of headbutts took the Angel protege out of the match. In the end, Tack was staging a comeback against both men, going back and forth with his kicks, and sending Jamie out of the ring with a spinning back kick, but Sal gouged him in the eyes and set him up for his new finisher called the Paradise Lost Spike Brainbuster, a move that looks to intentionally cripple the target. Tack got his foot on the ropes, but Jamie pushed it off and held it down just in time for Nerdler to count the 1-2-3. Firestarter picked apart Tack and Cherub in this match, using any dirty trick they could get away with to get the win. Grade: A
Firestarter wasn't done after the match, with Destroyer A coming down with a table. Sal and picked Cherub Kid off the mat and powerbombed him out of the ring and right through the table in a grizzly display. Amy Angel came out looking horrified, and Trevor Mach made an unexpected entrance to try and drag Tack and Cherub away from the ring. Trevor and Destroyer A stared down for the first time since their match as Trevor got Tack Angel out of the ring. Firestarter has indeed reignited the flames of WAR. As this promotion looks to its heroes for the future, the villains are the ones seeing to its destruction.

Announcer: And now it's time for another EBW Network News Update
Nerma: Nerma here, and we're not going to be able to have an EBW Aftermath this week, on account of Retro Hippie being taken out by Firestarter on the recent WAR show. Let's just have a quick look at the ratings.
----------
-Weekly Ratings-
EBW: Xcite - 4.9
WAR: Xperience - 4.8
----------
Nerma: Both shows have gone up, with WAR closing the gap for the week, keeping things very close between the rival promotions. Now back to Firestarter. The team that was formerly known as Lovekick has brought Destroyer A back into the fold and promised to bring a real WAR to WAR, but they have also set their sights on EBW. Two men they have personally targeted are the gentlemen standing by with me right now, Justice 87. Trevor Mach and Tack Angel won the tag belts from Sal and Jamie, and that seemingly kicked off this whole path of destruction, and Firestarter has done everything they can to make Justice 87 pay for it. Tack, I hear they have you especially angry.
Tack Angel: You could say that. They took out Cherub Kid during the last Xperience. The poor kid is just trying to learn and compete, he isn't apart of this. You put him through a table and dislocated his shoulder. He's hurt, and he can't compete, and it's your fault. I don't know what has gotten into Sal, but you keep it between us.
Nerma: Trevor, they have called your coming back to full time action the biggest mistake of your life. What are your thoughts on that?
Trevor Mach: Well well well, Sal Paradise took a trip off the deep end! Welcome to the club! What do you care if I came back Sal? You worried about my well being? I know that can't be it. Maybe you're afraid? That could be it. You think I should have stayed retired eh? You think I should have been satisfied with my career and ridden off into the sunset? I'm just getting started. That was a nice year off, in which I still wrestled, but that's besides the point. That was just a break because I'm never satisfied! I live a life of explosive excess. Excessive action, excessive adrenaline, excessive energy! I can't stop at one shot I gotta do ten. I can't just work out, I've gotta train till I can't walk anymore. I can't just win a championship, I've gotta win ALL THE CHAMPIONSHIPS! I can't drive the speed limit, I've gotta go 88Mph! I can't just beat one or two members of Firestarter, I've gotta beat all of them. That just leaves you Sal. Destroyer A, I took him down. Have NO idea why's he back, but I know he didn't forget that. Jamie OD, the hooligan was so close yet so far away to putting me down. That just leaves you Sal. You're talking a big game about taking masks off. Putting it all out on the table. Let me make something clear. You can't take this fight anywhere I won't go, and I'll personally see to it that in our Tag Team Championship match at New Year Rising, or maybe even before that, you get to taste a Macha Ye.
Nerma: Well we'll certainly find out how this all goes down at New Year Rising 2013, on the hot neon streets of Summers, but these teams don't seem to want to wait until then. Justice 87 has challenged Firestarter to match this week on Xcite. 6-Man Tag, with the champs having to find a partner for the big match. Who is it gonna be guys?
Tack Angel: Well we asked around and-
Nikky: Say no more. I will be the one to save your team from Firestarter.
Nerma: Nikky?
Trevor Mach: Hey, get a load of this guy!
Tack Angel: Nikky, you're a great talent, but you're a free agent.
Nikky: That just opens up the possibilities. The contract numbers are going up, but I've yet to decide just who needs me the most. At this point, I think you both need me for one night though.
Tack Angel: Thanks....but no thanks. We picked Kinniku Mike.
Nikky: Ha! Again, I find myself looked over in favor of Kinniku Mike. That's fine! Hope it all works out for you. I'll keep that all in mind when I think of the offers I've received. It's hard to keep track of all the offers.
Trevor Mach: ....What's with that guy?
Tack Angel: I have no idea.
Nerma: We end tonight's update with a quick look at today's formal contract signing for the EBW World Championship match at New Year Rising 2013.
Nerma: The EBW World Champion made a big announcement during the signing that he wants the Championship match to actually open the show! The reason being that he believes a paper contender doesn't deserve the top spot. This nearly caused a riot, but the Red Shirts were on the scene to keep the peace. The Master of Reality has made it official though, and the raging bull will get his title shot. This concludes the EBW News Update, but be sure to check out the Xcite card announced in full at the end.

Sal Paradise: Thought we might get this night off to a proper start. I'm Sal Paradise, this is Jamie OD, and that monster over there is Destroyer A. If you're a neckbearded mouthbreather that keeps The EBW Network on non-stop, you might notice a little change for me. See, I've taken the mask off. I'm not pretending to care about any of you anymore, cause you didn't care about me, and that's fine, that's the way I like it. No more pussyfooting around right?! You know, when I came into the building tonight, the crowds in the back got REAL quiet, and they backed away. The seas parted. I'm like freaking Moses, or a dog with rabies, take your pick. Point is they were afraid of what I might do, and I like that. I like that a lot. The point of all of this should be pretty obvious, in that I just don't care anymore, and I just want to hurt people cause no one tells me what to do or tries to take anything away from me anymore. That's not all though. I'm also exposing this business for what it is. Hell, I'm not trying to tear it down, cause I still want to get paid. Everyone wants to get paid right? No matter how crazy you think they are. I'm exposing this place, and WAR, and everyone involved for what they really are. See, in reality there are no heroes....just victims and villains. You either own up to what you are, or you get put down!
Jamie OD: AHAHAHAHA! Oi! Who out there wants to be a victim! I'd be happy to oblige! AHAHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: I wouldn't assume he's just making threats people. See, we're dangerous! We hurt people! We like to do that. We always have, but it's so unbecoming of the faces of the company to admit something like that. Just do your schtick, and make the ladies swoon. Get ready censors.......FUCK....THAT!
Tack Angel: Are you finished?
Trevor Mach: Funny, this doesn't look like WAR to me?
Jamie OD: WE GOT WHERE WE WANT! AHAHAHAHA!
Trevor Mach: Something we have in common. Something else we have in common is a penchant for violence. If you want an example stay in that ring, I'll be right down.
Sal Paradise: You looking to make a scene Trevor? You looking to go "Wildstyle" and make some extra cash?
Trevor Mach: I don't see a referee do you? Shut up and fight! BOOSH!
Justice 87 rushed down to the ring to brawl with Firestarter in a heated opening to Xcite. No fancy opener, this is the violence the fans saw the moment they turned the show on, with w00t ordering Red Shirts, referees, and backstage crew and agents to do anything they could to seperate the teams. Later on these two groups would face off, with Kinniku Mike entering the fray for Justice 87. What a way to kick off Xcite....
Coming back from commercials, the ring was just finally being cleared out, as Justice 87 and Firestarter had to be lead away in two different directions. It was time for some in ring action, as Swift made his way down, touting that if WAR's Simon Stuart wanted to prove something with putting the Euro-Continental strap on the line in the opener, he would do the same thing with the Eagleland Championship. His opponent would be former 4-Time Eagleland Champion Noah Jennings...
-Solid opener with Noah Jennings challenging Swift for the Eagleland Championship. The former champ busted out his normal tricks, but also showed his impeccable ability to learn and scout the moves of larger opponents. Swift couldn't lock down Jennings for the POUNCE, but he waited for a Stock Market Crash attempt by Jennings to counter with the Blackhammer and bring him to the mat for the pin. Good defense. Grade: B+
One week after the enigmatic Hotlanta returned to claim the #1 Contender spot for the Infinity Division Championship, the veteran was nowhere to be seen for this Infinity Division 6-Man tag. Bolshoi and Antonio Daman would be on their own against the newcomers of Ditch and DZ, however they would not come alone, as a new hire was a familiar face to Foursiders, as Subculture returned to EBW from a long term excursion, with a bad attitude.
-A return for Subculture saw him lead the newcomers DZ and Ditch to victory against a short handed combo of Bolshoi and Antonio Daman. Bolshoi and Daman fought hard, but their style and flash couldn't beat the numbers game, and a Counterculture from Subculture lead to a pin on Bolshoi. Grade: B-
After the match Subculture, DZ, and Ditch seemed to leave as a cohesive unit to the backstage area...
Reporter #1: Subculture! Welcome back to EBW! What's with the sudden return?
Subculture: You know me, I love to make an entrance, and this was the prime time to do it.
Reporter #2: When were you rehired with the company?
Subculture: I signed my contract earlier today. Wanted to hold out until the offer enticed me.
Reporter #1: Did you get an offer from WAR, and if you did why did you pick EBW?
Subculture: I did get an offer, but my new friends here helped me make the decision. Look at what you see before you. Three guys in our prime that might not get a fair shot due to our backgrounds. Ditch was a tape bootlegger, DZ's got some connections with some shady people in the past, and me? Well....you guys don't know much about me do you? You heard me spout some promos in FSW back a couple years ago, but all of that prepackaged. In wrestling, they like to stick you with a fake name and a gimmick to cover up a less than reputable past. My past involved making some bad decisions to stay alive on the street. Hell, I only got into the wrestling business cause my trainer caught me one night trying to jack his car. Sweet old guy tried to keep me off the street, but that sort of stuff stays with you. Can't shake off the mentality you know. That's why I didn't mesh with FSW, and I wouldn't be a good fit around here unless I took some advice and removed that mask.
Reporter #2: What are your plans in EBW then?
Subculture: The way I see it, the Infinity Division is depleted and a shell of what it used to be. Perfect time for us to make the Division our home, our turf. Should be quite a show.
-Third match of the night saw the vicious grappler and Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo take on Doctor Degrees. The good doctor was overwhelmed as he tried to extend his hand to show respect, but ate a headbutt instead and a flurry of elbows and forearms. Degrees tried to put up a defense, but Amigo laid on the elbows over and over until Degrees seemingly blacked out, and the referee called for the stoppage. Grade: B-
After the match, a man in a suit came out to shake hands with Amigo and raise his hand in victory. They both went to the back together. Who is this man that has the ear of the Macho Hero Grand Champion?
-The EBW World Champion was up next when he battled Zodiac member Aquarius ahead of his title showdown with Taurus as New Year Rising 2013. Taurus kept a watchful eye, as Aquarius hit a big dropkick, but FBX got right up. Aquarius hit a pair of kicks, but Firebrand caught him coming off the ropes with a spinebuster. He took him to the mat, but Aquarius clung to the ropes to escape submission. Later in the match, the fight went from the mat to the top rope, as both went high risk. Firebrand was able to seamlessly switch from his MMA to Lucha background took Aquarius to the mat with a Hurracanrana. Taurus started to march down to the ring, but Firebrand jumped from the top to avoid him and stared down his opponent as he locked in the Kimura and forced a submission. Good submission victory for Firebrand X, showing he's primed and ready for New Year Rising 2013. Grade: A-
We then had to quickly go to the back, as cameras caught Amigo and his new manager. Kinniku Mike was once again blindsided by his former friend and partner.
Amigo: Trying to take the main event from me again Mike!? I'm not going to have it! You awake? You still awake Mike? Still conscious? Listen to me would ya? For once in your career listen to me. Don't show up at New Year Rising. You can't handle this? I don't care how big you are or how strong you are. I've always been better. Pull the damn dreads out of your ears and listen to me Mike! You see this guy with me? Well maybe you can't cause of the trashcan and all. This is Mr. Daisuke Saito. He was my wrestling coach. Not a professional wrestling coach, but the other stuff, the good stuff. He always wanted me to stick to that profession or find myself in MMA, but I tried my hand here instead. Found myself only getting so far cause the people wanted a damn gimmick. Mr. Saito, my mentor, my coach finally talked some sense into me. Now I'm trying to beat some sense into you. Don't show up at New Year Rising. Don't even set foot in Summers. I'm going to bring legitimacy back to this promotion, and my career. Don't show up in Summers.
Mr. Saito: Let's go Amigo. Best not to be seen consorting with the trash for too long.
Amigo: Don't show up Mike.
The third man for Justice 87's team was now down and out, once again attacked by the Macho Hero Grand Champion. A crazy night of debuts, no shows, and attacks would culminate in the main event, with Justice 87 taking on Firestarter, and that would include the monster Destroyer A.
-The main event was set to be a 6-Man tag, but like earlier in the evening one team was a man short, and that team was the Tag Team Champions. The action started hot and heavy. Trevor and Jamie OD went at it during the early stages of the match with Mach sending the Hooligan to the floor with a shoulder tackle. That brought in Sal and DA, who ran over Trevor, with Tack jumping in to make it a 2-on-2 brawl. Jamie came back in to give Firestarter the control, and the referee could barely keep control of the action. Tack tagged in and unleashed a series of kicks on Jamie, with the Hooligan simply laughing and taking more until one too many kicks sent Jamie to the corner where DA suddenly sprang to action and tagged himself in. Tack tried to chop down the big man, but the monster Destroyer A can absorb a lot of punishment, and easily forced Tack into his own corner where he unleashed chop after chop. Trevor shook off the earlier attack and tagged in, ready to pick things back up with his old rival, but DA tagged out to Sal Paradise as quickly as he tagged in. Trevor was puzzled, but faced off with Sal none the less in a heated staredown. Sal broke the tension with a hard right, but Trevor countered back with a head butt and a hard right of his own. Paradise let a kick loose and tried to quickly go for his Paradise Lost Brainbuster, but Trevor reversed it into a Trevorplex! attempt that was also escaped. A continued back and forth saw neither man score a significant blow except for Sal reciprocating a head butt that busted Trevor open hard. Trevor tried to put Sal in the clinch for the knees, but Sal back away with Jamie OD tagging in. Back and forth action like this continued, with Firestarter being methodical in its wearing down of the Tag Team Champions. Eventually fortunes turned as Kinniku Mike limped down to the ring with his bloody head bandaged. The former world champion's appearance snapped the Firestarter team as they poured into the ring to attack Trevor and Tack while they still had time. The referee tried to stop them, but had no choice but to award the DQ victory to Justice 87. Kinniku Mike rushed in along with the Red Shirts to pull Trevor and Tack out of the ring and keep them away from the Firestarters. Grade: N/A
After the match the Red Shirts and Mike did all they could to drag Justice 87 to the back while Sal Paradise grabbed a mic and assaulted a nearby camera man...
Sal Paradise: WHERE YOU GOING "JUSTICE 87"?! WE WERE JUST GETTING STARTED! YOU SEE THAT! YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FACE ME TREVOR MACH! YOU GET HURT! YOU GET BURNED! I GOT YOUR BLOOD ON MY HANDS AND I LIKE IT! I WANT MORE! YOU HEARING ME!? TREVORPLEX?! MACHA YE?! YOU HAVE NOTHING ON ME! WE'RE GOING TO HURT YOU AT NEW YEAR RISING "JUSTICE 87"! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PIN, THE SUBMISSION, OR THE GOLD! WE'RE GONNA HURT YOU TREVOR! WE'RE GONNA HURT YOU TACK! WE'RE GONNA HURT YOU!
Reporter: Tack! Trevor! How do you feel about the DQ victory?
Trevor Mach: How do you think we feel! I want back out there! This fight wasn't finished! Sal's got me bloody, and I want to pay him back WITH INTEREST!
Tack Angel: A DQ victory was not what we were looking for. The odds were against, but we don't want to get a win like that. I have to thank Mike for showing the guts and courage to come out and back us up after what happened to him but-
Destroyer A: ......
Trevor Mach: Oooo, silent and intimidating big man! You think I'm scared of you DA?! I've played that deadly game with you before and I won remember!? Why are you back here? Why are you working with Firestarter? You want to finish what you started? You want to take another piece of me?!
Destroyer A: I'm not here......for you....I'm going to break the angel.
Tack Angel: Me?
Trevor Mach: Him?
Destroyer A: You.

Announcer: Time for another EBW News Update with Nerma!
Nerma: Hello EBW fans, and WAR fans....I guess. We're here with another big update for you! The road to New Year Rising in Summers is winding down, and we can add another match to the already exciting card. Eagleland Champion Swift has thrown down a cross promotional challenge to none other than WAR's Destroyer A. Why did he single out DA? Why is he all of a sudden holding two belts? Let's check out the footage?
Swift: I WANT DA!
w00t: Hey Swift, what's up?
Swift: I WANT DA!
w00t: You said that already. I thought it was a joke....it was funny after all.
Swift: Do I look like I'm joking to you punk?! Do I look like the kind of guy who makes jokes!?
w00t: You're wearing a fanny pack and zubaz. Do you really want me to answer that question?
Swift: >:C
Ryan IQ: Swift, why the sudden interest in DA?
Swift: Punk ass looked at me funny in the hallway.
Ryan IQ: ....That's it?
Swift: No! He also....ate my Funyuns.... >:C
Ryan IQ: ....That never happened did it Swift?
Swift: ....No. >:C
Ryan IQ: Why don't you tell us what's really bothering you big guy?
Swift: ....I owe it to Tack alright! That guys got heat on Tack, and I want to back up my former tag partner! Is that so wrong?! >:C
Ryan IQ: ...Are you sure that's all there is to it?
Swift: FINE! FINE! I OWE TACK 20 BUCKS AND IF I DO THIS I WON'T HAVE TO PAY HIM BACK! >:C
Ryan IQ: Impeccable logic Swift.
w00t: DA's running with Firestarter, that's a WAR team. I can't have the Eagleland Championship going to WAR. It would have to be non-title.
Swift: Whatever! >:C
w00t: Alright Swift, you've got it.
Swift: ....psh....I'm out of here.
Ryan IQ: Wait! Swift, what's with that extra belt you're lugging around? The all red one.
Swift: Oh this? You mean you don't know? I'm the Mars Champion bitch!
Ryan IQ: Mars Champion? Uh....when did this happen?
Swift: Last week! Huge 1482 Man/Beast Tournament! I won in the finals when I pinned Rishin Fliger's rival the Neptunian Hyrdo Man Dragon Man, in Quadruple Overtime, in a Zero G Death Match! OBVIOUSLY! >:C
Ryan IQ: I....I....ow...let me rephrase the question maybe. HOW could that possibly happen Swift. No oxygen on Mars?!
Swift: ....So?
Ryan IQ: How would you even get there?! I doubt this whole thing. Can you prove this "tournament" actually happened?
Swift: ....Can you prove it didn't?
Ryan IQ: Gah....I...
w00t: He's got you there Ryan IQ.
Ryan IQ: ...I'm gonna get a drink and some aspirin.
----------
Nerma: And so the Eagleland Champion and apparent Mars Champion will be taking on Destroyer A of Firestarter in a non-title match at New Year Rising. So the updated card will look like this.
EBW/WAR/Zodiac: New Year Rising 2013
Summers
The EBW Network
1. EBW vs. WAR Infinity Division 6-Man: Subculture/DZ/Ditch vs. Anwin/Randy no Kachi/Bonk Boy

Nerma: You'll notice that Subculture, DZ, and Ditch have been added to the card to take on the WAR team of Anwin, Randy no Kachi, and Bonk Boy. The new trio demanded the match so they could make a PPV example of the "NEW" Infinity Division. The trio is now calling themselves the "Reality Gangsters". Anwin and RnK were happy to accept on behalf of WAR, with Bonk Boy being added to the mix
----------
Nerma: Hotlanta made an enigmatic return to EBW and immediately claimed the #1 Contender spot for the Infinity Division Championship. He was very mum on the details of his return, but my interview with him earlier was a little more "enlightening"
Nerma: Hotlanta! Hotlanta! Nerma here, and I've got some questions for you.
Hotlanta: I don't have time for questions. Leave me alone.
Nerma: We just want to get a word from you. We haven't seen you in a little while and-
Hotlanta: You want to know why I'm back? Want to know why I no showed the last event? It's simple really. I'm here for the Infinity Division Championship. I have something to prove, and my only goal is to prove it. I don't have time for any other match. I walked in there to make my Championship match official, and now I'm going to get ready for it. That's all there is to it. All I'm going to talk to you about anyways.
Nerma: What is it that you have to prove to yourself?
Hotlanta: I don't have a thing to prove to myself.
Nerma: Huh?
----------
Nerma: Alright, so I lied a little bit. He's as enigmatic as he was before, but we know why he no showed at least. We end tonight's update with a look at then ext Machismo Office card, and some new rules being added to the constantly evolving side promotion that will set it apart from both EBW and WAR. A new rule has been added to Shoot Rules matches, and a new system is being utilized to determine who can challenge the champion, the Mastery Medal system.

Pain.
The deepened wounds of my hollow shell of a body. My soul was sold to the darkness of the null long ago. But these wounds hurt like none other. The deception is clear.
For the maiden who walks by the night from far away is one in the same with the one who speaks with snakes. She is truly the one who opened Pandora's Box. You know who you are. But you fear speaking the truth to me. But much like your hair color, your lies stand out like a sore thumb.
For I sold my soul for the things I desired most. And hell would soon unleash upon my mortal being. And here, in front of you now... your king of EBW; your Lord Firebrand. But do not follow me heaven-bound. For I have sinned a thousand sins of pure evil. Inside of me, a demon truly exists.
And in the Year of the Firebrand, Angels will fall. For the Great Creator has summoned me as his royal assassin. And to restore the order between the darkness and light, The Creator must see that one particular Angel has fallen from his graces.
He is Lucifer. And I am the redeemer of balance. Soon, Creator. You will see.
My visions grow wary. Until the next, true believers...

Reporter #1: Amigo! Are you ready for your title match tonight, not to mention your match with Kinniku Mike later this week at the Pay Per View?
Amigo: What is this? You're asking questions of me? I don't recall the Grand Champion giving you permission to do so! I only have to focus on tonight's match for my Championship. I only have to deal with Chu Chu, cause Kinniku Mike can't be that dumb to actually show up here in Summers this week. I'll make my defense against Chu Chu tonight, and I'll take a nice vacation for the rest of the week. I only fight legitimate opponents from now on. I don't deal with the slovenly and perverted. I'm a legitimate fighter and a legitimate champion. Look at this title by the way. I fixed it. Gave it a gold plate befitting a true World Champion. You can tell Trevor Mach no need to thank me.
Trevor Mach: Wasn't going to anyways Amigo. Nice plate though.
Amigo: Mach, what do you want?
Trevor Mach: Not a thing brah. It's take your daughter to fight night in Machismo Office, so I'm just standing back with my daughter waiting.
Amigo: Waiting for what?
Trevor Mach: For this.
Kinniku Mike: Oooooooh Amigoooo!
Amigo: Mike! Get back right now!
Kinniku Mike: You and I are going to have a nice little "talk"!
Amigo: So you really ARE that stupid! You're a fool if you think you can take me! Wouldn't you be better suited fondling some big breasted bimbos on the beach?
Kinniku Mike: Not this time Amigo. This time I've got beef, and I'm taking my aggressions out on your ass. The fondling comes after that though....I'm still Mike after all.
Trevor Mach: Naturally.
Mr. Daisuke Saito: You'd be wise to back up and put the chair down. You're not contracted to appear tonight, and any violence committed on the legitimate champion could lead to legal action.
Trevor Mach: Oh I invited him! Haha!
Kinniku Mike: I don't know you, but I have no problem going through you to get to him, now step aside.
Amigo: I've got no time for this Mike! I've got a match tonight! Do the smart thing and go home!
Kinniku Mike: I'm not going anywhere. You're going to be seeing plenty of my tonight. "Good luck".
Amigo: ......
Machismo Office stuck around for another week in Summers in front of a packed crowd in the small retro 80's New Wave Club. Tonight would see the institution of the Mastery Medal System, and the first time ever pairing of Father and Daughter as Trevor Mach and Little M's team up to take on the Bad Henchmen Skinhead and Neckbeard. The main event will see Amigo take on the big man Chu Chu for the Macho Hero Grand Championship.
-First match was the first of Mastery Medal System. WAR's Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart continued his push to mend the past with the Mach Family by fighting for Machismo Office against the rookie grappler Fighter Daron. It wasn't a Shoot Rules match, but they still kept it mostly to the mat with submission attempts being the name of the game. Fighter Daron tried to go for a rear choke, but Stuart flipped over and pulled him into a vicious clothesline. He then locked the ankle and forced a Submission. Simon Stuart claimed the win in an exciting match and earned the first Mastery Medal. 2 more and Stuart can challenge the Grand Champion. Grade: A
-Scorpio invaded the House of Machismo to take on Onisuiken in an attempt to gain a Mastery Medal for Zodiac. Tough competition, with Scorpio somehow grabbing the ropes to avoid the pin following an Oni Koroshi, and came back to hit the Scorpion Death Drop to get the pin and the Medal. Grade: B
-Fun Intergender Tag action, with Trevor Mach teaming with his Daughter Little M's to take on Neckbeard and Skinhead of Bad Henchmen Wrestling. One sided affair with Mach and M's dominating their opponents. Trevor seemed to wipe away a tear as he proudly looked on to see Little M's use her amateur wrestling background to compensate for lack of hearing and take the much larger opponents to the ground only to let them back up for another take down. More of a wrestling clinic then anything. Trevor showed Little M's how to do a Macha Ye, crashing it down on Neckbeard before getting the pin. Fun win for Father and Daughter. Grade: A-
-Controversial main event saw the "Legitimate Champion" Amigo take on Chu Chu in a Shoot Rules match. Amigo nearly got yellow carded almost immediately for forcing Chu Chu into the corner and trying to shove his neck into the ropes, but Chu Chu inadvertently saved him from the card by using his strength to force Amigo all the way to the other side of the ring. Amigo had some trouble taking down the bigger man, instead going for hit and run tactics to try and score points with the judges. A smart match, with Chu Chu showing tactics that prove he's more than just a big strong guy by avoiding the set ups to Amigo's big submissions. The match went the full 15 minutes and a controversial split decision left Amigo with the belt. His plan to score points, avoid cards, and avoid the pin paid off. Grade: A-
After the match, before Amigo could celebrate, Kinniku Mike came out once again and this time managed to floor Amigo with the Blue Ocean Sonoko Bomb. Mr. Daisuke Saito pulled his champion out of the ring, as Mike shook hands with Chu Chu.
Overall Show Grade: A-

Announcer: Time for another EBW Network News Update! Take it away Hater!
Hater: NYAH! EBW fans, you are in for a treat, with so many big announcements flooring in over the day. I'm excited myself! Just hearing some of these big announcements is making me want to shout something...like...."NYOM" or something like that. I don't know, I'm not really known for my random outbursts. Anywho, before we get to the big news I have the privilege to report we have to talk about WAR. A backstage confrontation has shaped the upcoming WAR card, and this change will also affect the New Year Rising 2013 card. Little Mac and Troy were seen backstage laying down a challenge to current reigning WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart. Roll the footage.
Troy: YOU!
Amy Angel: Troy? What is it that you want? I don't think you should be shouting at your boss like-
Simon Stuart: He was talking to me I believe.
Amy Angel: Oh.
Troy: Damn right I was you little punk! I'd say thanks for keeping that belt warm for me, but I don't thank anyone! CAUSE I'M TROY!
Simon Stuart: You seem a little more off kilter than usual Troy. Was that supposed to be a challenge for my belt? Cause I am a fighting champion make no mistake, and I'm not afraid to accept. However, if I recall, Magnum PT recently handed you a loss? Why shouldn't he get the title shot.
Troy: YOU SON OF A-
Little Mac: Calm down Troy! Mrs. Angel, you're looking lovely as ever this evening. The champion there is right about the loss, but how about this as a compromise. Troy face PT again on Xperience, and the winner goes on to face Stuart at New Year Rising 2013?
Amy Angel: What do you think Stu?
Simon Stuart: Sound fair to me.
Amy Angel: You got it.
Little Mac: Thank you Mam. Come on Troy, I told you that's how you do business. You be calm and polite and-
Troy: FUCKERS! Biggest mistake of your lives!
Little Mac: *sigh*
----------
Hater: So the match was made official, and Troy and newcomer Magnum PT will face off for that #1 Contender spot. Elsewhere on the card, Simon Stuart will stick up for the family when he opens the show against Sal Paradise in a Non-Title No Rules match. Nikky will make another appearance in another bid to up his contract offers when he takes on Hashim. EBW and WAR Infinity wrestlers will face off in a 4-Way match, as part of the new Reality Gangster's plan to outshine WAR's Infinity wrestlers. Dynamic Dougie will face Leo in the only WAR vs. Zodiac matchs of the night, and Tack Angel will take on Jamie OD ahead of the Justice 87 vs. Firestarter Tag Championship match. This and the New Year Rising card look stacked. Be sure to order New Year Rising if you haven't already on Pay Per View...

Tack Angel: Hey, we need to have a word.
Jamie OD: AHAHAHAHA! Tack's acting all tough! Oi! He even brought backup! AHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: If we have something to say or do we'll let you know, otherwise you better be ready for a fight.
Tack Angel: I'm not here for either you right now, that comes later. I'm here for Destroyer A. You've done nothing but hurt people, and cause problems. Now you say you're back for me and I want to know why.
Destroyer A: .....
Sal Paradise: The monster's not going to speak to you. If he wants something from you he'll wring it out OF YOUR NECK!
Tack Angel: .....My mistake....I confused DA for someone who wasn't gutless. I'll be going.
Destroyer A: You want to know why I'm back for you? All you need to do is see what I show when I decide it's time to show you.
Tack Angel: Well I'm normally a patient guy, but with you three not so much. Jamie, I'll see you in the ring later tonight. Come alone if you've got the nerve.
Jamie OD: Oi! You trying to call me a coward? Like I care! I do what I please! AHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: While we're on the subject....Simon Stuart. Don't go too far....I'm coming FOR YOU TONIGHT! Actually.....WHY WAIT!
The go home show before New Year Rising was off to a hot start, as Sal Paradise wasted no time in accosting the Euro-Continental Champion and proceeding with their scheduled Falls Count Anywhere match.
-This was a match that never even started in the ring. Sal and Simon Stuart fought their Falls Count Anywhere match all over outside of the XP Zone and fans and bystanders watched on. The crowd was behind Stuart, as he tried to down the raging Paradise, but outside of the ring his technical skills only got him so far. Eventually the fight entered the arena in the back. Simon managed to get a measure of offense when he finally went hardcore and clobbered Sal with a fan's soft drink before hitting a series of Euroland Uppercuts and a suplex onto the hard ground. Jamie OD was nearby though and kicked his soccer ball straight into Stuart's face, knocking him off his feet and giving Paradise time to recover and lock in his Paradise Lock. Stuart refused to tap so Sal set up a table and pulled Stuart onto it, where he then hit his Paradise Lost Brainbuster through the table before getting the pin. The Euro-Continental Champion finds himself in bad shape before a big pay per view match, and Sal Paradise is looking crazy vicious heading into a tag title match against Justice 87. Grade: A
After the match Sal Paradise continued his assault on Simon Stuart until Tack Angel and Dougie Mach helped pull him off. The action quickly switched to the ring while order was being established in the back, as Nikky returned to once again show off his talents to Amy Angel.
-Nikky's return to the WAR brand to again showcase his skill lead to another big victory for the hot free agent. Hashim took him off his feet in the opener, but Nikky quickly recovered, and showed great strength with a series of slams followed by the Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver and the Pin. Flashy all around on Nikky's part, and the free agent continues to spark intrigue. Grade: A
-EBW's new hire Subculture and newcomer DZ represented the Reality Gangster and EBW as they came onto WAR turf for what looked on paper to be a 4-Way match, but was essentially a Tornado Tag against Bonk Boy and Anwin. Anwin was in top form, but wasn't used to working along side the twitchy mascot for Bonk! Energy. Flashy high flying from the rookie mascot was nothing compared to Subculture's no nonsense style. Anwin was taken to the outside to brawl with DZ while Subculture took Bonk to the mat with the Counterculture and grab a win. Grade: B+
After the match Ditch joined his fellow Infinity Gangsters backstage, but they weren't alone...
Mike O: Mike O here with the new team on the block! They've got the goods, and they've got the skills! They are the Reality Gangsters, and they are here, looking for blood. One question though....DO YOU HAVE GUTS?!
Subculture: Do I have guts? I think that's a pointless question. Me and my new partners, the Reality Gangsters are going to give the Infinity Division a reality check. It's weak....plain and simple. It's a shell of its former self. We're taking it over! I'm through standing on the outside looking in! Tired of wrestling in high school gymnasiums, while guys with half of my fire, drive, and talent get to go to Saturn City and make bank! DZ and Ditch here, they don't talk much cause they don't have to. They both come from backgrounds where it doesn't pay to talk if you catch my drift. They both know what they have to do to ensure that we're remembered though, and we're all on the same page. WAR, your best isn't good enough for us. We're the "new team on the block", but we're the best there is.
Nikky: Well said....really well said. I was just on my way out, but I wanted to say congratulations. We're both winners tonight I guess. I know a winner when I see one, and you've got it. I like you all, so when the time comes I might just save the Infinity Division. Then again.....
Subculture: ....What was with that guy?
-Troy took on Magnum PT in another singles match, but this time the #1 Contendership to the Euro-Continental Championship was on the line. Tough match for Magnum PT, who has the style and the fans on his side, but he didn't have Little Mac, who helped on the outside and assured that PT would fail in his Mustache Ride attempt and ultimately eat a Punt Kick to get pinned. Troy will face Simon Stuart for the belt at New Year Rising. Grade: B
-Zodiac's presence wasn't as strong tonight, as Taurus was preparing for his EBW World Championship bout, but Leo was on hand to present a challenge to Dynamic Dougie. Dougie was showing off the Mach flash and nearly capture the win with a Dynamic DDT, but Leo showed his was no slouch by kicking out of the pin attempt and later taking down Dougie to land his Lionsault. He followed it up with the Lion Tamer, and Dougie had no choice, but to submit in the center of the ring. Grade: B+
-Main event time, as Tack Angel took on Jamie OD in a harsh striking encounter that would leave both men bleeding and bruised. Tack was taking Firestarters recent actions personally, and you could see it with his kicks to Jamie OD, but the laughing Hooligan ate them all and came back with hard soccer kicks of his own to Tack's legs, as tried to take out his main weapons before the big pay per view. Late in the match Destroyer A appeared and made himself clearer on why he targeted Tack Angel when he dragged out Amy Angel, Tack's pregnant wife and the boss of WAR, on to the stage. Threatening to push her down the stairs, Tack didn't notice Jamie sneak up from behind and slam him to the ground before hitting the Penalty Kick and getting the sneaky pin. Despicable way to get a win by threatening the safety of a pregnant woman. Grade: B-
The show ended with Destroyer A finally releasing Amy Angel, as Sal Paradise and Jamie OD promised to finish what they've started and take out Justice 87 at New Year Rising. The build up has been intense, but the time is almost here. Very shortly two teams that hate each other's guts are going to battle for more than gold, but for bragging rights and to see which team can survive. New Year Rising 2013 Live on Pay Per View!

New Year Rising 2013 in Summers Theme Song: i01u4zgcTU0&feature=related
EBW, WAR, and the Zodiac have all diverged on the Sparkle Battle Zone, taken over for one night for New Year Rising 2013. Despite the city being Sparkle turf, a near capacity crowd filled the Zone for a night of hot action in the Summers heat. The crowd wouldn't have to wait long for the big match ups they paid to see, as the EBW World Championship match would open the show for the first time ever, as Firebrand X would put the belt on the line against the mad bull Taurus...
-Hot opening contest saw the champ Firebrand go toe to toe with the much bigger and stronger Taurus of Zodiac. Leo and Scorpio would try to make assists on the outside during the course of the match, but Firebrand countered by keeping the match on the ground and in the center of the ring as much as he could to avoid interference and take Taurus's weapons away from him. Firebrand worked the legs to take away the running momentum power that Taurus builds for his attacks. Taurus still had the brute clubbing power and bashed FBX enough times that he was able to get back to his feet and capture Firebrand in a Bear Hug. Taurus laid on the pressure, with Firebrand barely hanging on to make it to the ropes and use leverage to flip Taurus out onto his Zodiac cohorts. Switching from MMA to Lucha style, Firebrand brought the fight to Zodiac and splashed on them, attacking Leo and Scorpio for good measure. The champ bit off more than he could chew though, as Taurus rammed him into the ring steps before tossing him into the ring and getting the near full. Firebrand was fighting keep alive until a huge Gore attempt was evaded, with Taurus hitting the corner hard. Firebrand was ready to capitalize with his Crash Fire Buster and rolled up Taurus for the pin. The champion made his successful first defense in a good match. Grade: A-
After the match Taurus tried to attack Firebrand, but Leo held him back, promising Firebrand that his win was only temporary, and that Zodiac was far from finished.
-EBW took on WAR in an Infinity Division 6-Man battle, with bragging rights on the line for the new team the Reality Gangsters, who want to make an example out of Anwin, Randy No Kachi, and Bonk Boy. It was a hot action packed, high flying battle, with the new trio showing off in a big way. Bonk Boy once again became the weak link and the target, with Subculture repeating history using a Counterculture to get the pin on Bonk while Ditch and DZ kept Anwin and RnK busy. Sneaky distractions bought them the time, but the Reality Gangsters have also shown they have the skills to hang in the Infinity Division. Grade: B+
-Simon Stuart had an uphill battle against the WAR Muscle Troy. The WAR Euro-Continental Championship was on the line, and Simon once again stepped up his game for the attempted defense. Troy was plowing him with the signature elbows and stomps in the ring, but Stu survived the barrage to get a take down in, surprising everyone including Troy. Simon had a solid ground game, but Troy managed to push him right off. Late in the bout Troy went for his Punt Kick, but Stuart dodged it and got in behind for the reverse cutter. He waited for Troy to get back up to hit the Backslide and hold Troy down for the 1-2-3 in what some might consider a huge upset. Great defense for Stuart. Grade: A-
Troy was livid after the match, but Little Mac protected Simon Stuart. He extended his hand to Simon, upon shaking his hand he clocked the Euro-Continental Champion with his brass knuckles, leaving the champ bleeding on the mat.
-The battle between brawlers never actually got to the ring, as Destroyer A blindsided the Eagleland Champion and "Mars Champion" before he could even get to the ring, the two duked it out in the sand below the stage, with Destroyer A smashing Swift onto one of the cars on the set. Glass cut open Swift badly, and EMTs tried to separate the two, with DA and even Swift attacking the EMTs in the process. A combination of security, police, and bloody EMTs finally stopped the brawl. Needless to say...No Contest. Grade: N/A
-Amigo and Kinniku Mike have quite the past, but here in Summers to two once dear friends were going to take their rivalry to a whole new level in a No Rules match. This gave Amigo the opportunity to use his wide variety of submissions without the worry of DQ or rope breaks, while Mike could slam Amigo into whatever he wanted. No handshakes from the once honorable Amigo, just a slap to Mike that prompted the controversial former champion to tackle Amigo right out of the ring. They took the action to the outside right away, where it was standard brawling for the first few minutes. Mike suplexed Amigo on top of two chairs, but Amigo came back a short time later with a German Suplex right onto the same chairs. They brought the fight back into the ring where Mike controlled until Amigo used massive strength to lift Mike and hit an exploder suplex into the corner. He followed it up with another German a short time later and went for the pin, but Mike was able to kick out at two. Mike came back from the near fall to force Amigo all around the ring. Amigo wanted to show off his legitimate background by taking down his rival, but Mike blocked it and floored Amigo with a Blue Ocean Sonoko Bomb, but Amigo shot right back up, woozy and swinging like crazy. Mike waited and again took Amigo down with a Spinebuster. Mike uncharacteristically went to the top rope and played up to the ladies in the crowd before going for the splash, but Amigo rolled out of the way and quickly locked in the Crossface. Mike fought to get to the ropes, but that wouldn't break up the Submission, but Mike fought his way back to his feet. Amigo tried running the ropes to take him back down, but to no avail. Amigo was about to eat another Bomb, when Noah Jennings ran past Mr. Daisuke Sato and knocked Amigo free of the bomb. Mike turned to knock Noah off the ring apron, but Amigo jumped onto his back and applied the Sleeper Hold. Amigo held the lock as Mike did all he could to fight out of it. Mike couldn't escape and eventually was choked out by the so called legitimate Macho Hero Grand Champion. Big win for Amigo, who flaunted the victory over the unconscious Mike. Great match, even with the interference. Grade: A
After the match, Amigo wasn't done with Kinniku Mike. Noah Jennings presented him with electric clippers that he used to shear the dreads off of Mike in a continued act of humiliation for his former partner. After the shaving he held up what was left of some dreads as if they were another trophy.
Reporter #1: Noah! Noah! Why did you help Amigo?
Noah Jennings: Do you know who I am? I'm Noah Jennings! I'm the guy everyone is out to get! I tried to play nice and help EBW against WAR, but did that lead to another Eagleland Championship run? No! I'm a man worthy of better then what I was given. I have the brains, the dress sense, and the legitimate wrestling background, and I should be much higher on the totem pole people! That's why I'm aligning myself with my old "coach" Amigo. He's got the right idea, and I want in on it!
Reporter #2: Amigo, why shave your friend after winning a great match?
Amigo: Cause those STUPID dreads have driven me crazy forever! I couldn't wait to get rid of them! Why have stupid dreads or a stupid look or a stupid gimmick! Why wrestle in stupid matches like a No Rules match? All of it redundant and all of it stupid! We're wrestlers, and we WRESTLE! No gimmicks, just wrestling. That's what I'm about, that's what Noah Jennings is about, and that's what Mr. Daisuke Saito always taught me. We are legitimate athletes from legitimate backgrounds. We came here to bring our level of class and competition to professional wrestling. Instead we get Mike making rude gestures to the women in the crowd. He might have won the match, probably not, but maybe if he wouldn't have taken the time to flirt! If it wasn't a No Rules match Noah would not have been able to get involved, and you would have been able to grab the ropes to escape my Sleeper. I taught you a lesson you'll never forget tonight, and that's just the start of it all. Starting tonight, we work to bring the wrestling back to professional wrestling. The pure sport that it deserves to be! You can call us the Shoot Club, and you better be ready for a real fight, cause we're the real deal.
-Infinity Division Championship match saw the Zodiac Champion Aries taking on the enigmatic Hotlanta in a swift competitive encounter. Solid chain wrestling opened things up in this one, with neither man having a clear upper hand. Aries got Hotlanta in the corner and hit a splash. reversed a whip with a springboard dropkick, sending Aries to the outside. The crowd was reluctant to get behind Hot due to recent actions and attitudes, but cheered him to spite the Zodiac member. Aries went for a dragon suplex on the outside, but Hot did a backflip and landed on his feet. Hot caught Aries a short time later with a big tornado DDT and followed up with a moonsault off the apron. Aries got Hotlanta back in the ring later with firm control and hit a missile dropkick for a two count. A short time later, he hit a unique inverted sitout slam that got another near fall. Hotlanta got control with an out of nowhere facebuster, and upon Aries attempting to get back to his feet, took him back to the mat with the Bellerophon Bomb. 1-2-3! Hotlanta quickly rolled up Aries for the win and the Infinity Division Champion! Great return match for Hotlanta, and another reign for a veteran. Grade: B+
After the match, every member of Zodiac rushed out to the ring. They helped Aries up, but then in a shocking move they all proceeded to beat him down, break his horn, rip his mask off, and toss him out of the ring. Leo stared down Hotlanta, and offered him something inside of a bag...another Aries bag. Hotlanta stared around as the crowd chanted for him not to take the mask, but he grabbed it none the less and put on the garb of the Zodiac. Hotlanta has become the new Aries. After the beating, Leo grabbed the mic.
Leo: Behold the new Aries. New and improved. Long have we sought a replacement for the failure who was unable to stop the ascension of the Firebrand. Now we have a strong Zodiac, and the title remains where it belongs. We might have taken lumps in the past, and our invasion has been halted at times, but we're just getting started. See, we've been buying time.....time to find the Zodiac's savior, and now that person has been found. The new Sagittarius.....the true Sagittarius. Sagittarius already walks amongst you. Sagittarius could be in EBW, WAR, or Machismo Office. Sagittarius could be in Sparkle or even in this very crowd right now. Hotlanta knows, as Sagittarius brought him into the fold to become our true Aries. Only the true Zodiac will survive, and soon.....very soon.....Sagittarius will lead us to victory.
-Main event time, as the two most heated teams in wrestling go to war for the EBW Tag Team Championships, and bragging rights. Firestarter is willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want, but Justice 87 stands in the way, the veterans turned team mates looking to solidify themselves as the legendary tag team. With Lady and Little M's and Amy Angel watching, only one team could be left standing. Tack and Jamie kicked things off with Jamie being disrespectful and almost getting his head kicked off for his trouble. Tack and OD chain-wrestled to a draw before both tagging in their partners. Trevor and Sal stared down, and Sal broke the tension with a hard right, but Trevor countered back with a head butt and a hard right of his own. Paradise let a kick loose and tried to quickly go for his Paradise Lost Brainbuster, but Trevor reversed it into a Trevorplex! attempt that was also escaped. Trevor caught Sal in the clinch, but Sal pushed back to keep Trevor from letting the signature knees loose. Sal brought his a-game, escaping the clinch and picking up Trevor for the brainbuster. 1-2-Kickout! Trevor kicked out of the early attempt, but was sluggish on getting up, allowed Jamie to tag in and land a vicious Penalty Kick. Trevor flew back into his corner where Tack tagged in and quickly went to the top rope for a TaToBa Kick that sent Jamie bouncing off the ropes right back into a waiting Tack who went for an Angel Driver, but was flipped over by Jamie. Jamie went for the Shining Wizard, but Tack ducked and countered with a spinning high kick that took Jamie off his feet. Trevor was tagged back in and ran the ropes to quickly floor Jamie with a Shining Black. 1-2-Sal made the save and pounded on Trevor by grabbing his hair and smashing his fists and head into his till he opened up the hard way. Innovative spot later in the match with the referee distracted when Sal lifted Jamie onto his shoulders and stood on Tack’s chest with the weight of two men. Sal backed up and Jamie splashed down onto Tack for the pin attempt. 1-2-Trevor makes the save! Heated match all the way, with the intensity rising with every blow. Sal and Jamie almost found themselves DQ'd on more than one occasion. The last minute of the match saw Trevor and Sal going toe to toe and hold for hold. Sal again went for the Paradise Lost, but Trevor escaped, again going for the Trevorplex!, but Sal again escaped. This time Trevor turned in time to head butt Sal and try again with a big Trevorplex! that hit. Sal refused to be pinned by Trevor Mach and kicked out at one. Trevor picked up Sal and whipped him into the corner with a flying knee in mind, but Jamie blind tagged in and jumped onto the top rope to clock Trevor with the dropkick as Sal bounced back and landed an elbow in a picture perfect combo sequence. Jamie was in control and ready to land a penalty kick, when Trevor rolled out of the way and went for the takedown and a Cross Armbreaker. Jamie escaped and the two got to their knees to trade blows. Trevor won out on the strikes and got to his feet to run the ropes. Sal tried to get in the ring to stop Trevor, but Tack hit the TaToBa off the top rope, sending Sal to the floor as Trevor smashed Jamie with the Macha Ye and pinned him for the win and the successful title defense. Justice prevails for Justice 87! Grade: A
The show ended with Trevor and Tack fist bumping as their families entered to celebrate the big win. Destroyer A watched intently in the distance, as Sal caused a ruckus outside of the ring, even going so far as to rip out some of his own hair in his bloody anger over the loss. The fire still burns for Firestarter, but Justice 87 has won the day...

Nerma: Nerma here with a HUGE post New Year Rising news update! We just got done with a huge show in Summers in front of a near capacity crowd, and what a show it was. Zodiac talked up the mysterious new Sagittarius that walks amongst us and will lead Zodiac sooner rather than later. We saw Firebrand X make his first defense of the EBW World Championship. Hotlanta became the new Aries after claiming the Infinity Division Championship. The main event saw an epic clash, but before we get to that we'll need to check on the ratings for last week. Retro Hippie is still recovering from the Firestarter attack, so we "hope" he'll be back next week so we can resume Aftermath.
----------
-Weekly Ratings-
EBW: Xcite - 5.0
WAR: Xperience - 4.8
----------
Nerma: As you can see WAR held their rating while EBW jumped a point on the promise of a strong show that delivered. Ratings are still close between both brands. We now move onto the Justice 87 versus Firestarter. Sal Paradise has taken off the mask, and apart of his new mission in life involves taking out Justice 87, but it would not happen at New Year Rising. Justice 87 prevailed and retain the Tag Team Championships following a Macha Ye to Jamie OD and the pin. The team took it about as well as you'd expect and refused to comment to the Hervey Cams post match. They did however record a video and make sure we got it, so let's roll the footage.
Sal Paradise: Well done.....WELL.....DONE.....WELL FUCKING DONE! So you got one over on us eh?! Who cares?! Mach, you didn't pin MY shoulders to the mat! We're STILL STANDING! I know that w00t and Amy want to bust out the rolodex and look for any team to challenge Justice 87 next, but you don't get to look past us! You think I care about that loss?! It's not about the wins or losses anymore. It's not even about the belt. IT'S ABOUT TEARING YOUR HEARTS OUT! We're not intimidated by the Machs or the Angels, I'd just as soon burn your houses down and piss on the ashes if that's what it takes to change the history books! This business eats you alive, it's survival of the fittest, and smartest, AND MEANEST, AND MOST BLOOD THRISTY! I'M A RABID DOG! You didn't put me down, and now you're gonna get bit, right in the jugular, and it's a bite you'll never recover from. A loss doesn't deter us.....not one bit. It just makes us...more unpredictable.....more dangerous.....more violent. People are going to get hurt, and until the moment comes when you realize that you're to blame for taking what belongs to this rabid dog and pissing him off, more and more people will get hurt. Hey, you made the rule remember? We can do....whatever....we....want.....and we will.

TACK ANGEL BIRTHDAY SPECIAL!
Amy Angel: Hello? Tack? Are you here? I got your letter! Not sure why you wanted to meet in this abandoned building. Hope it's not a surprise cause it's YOUR birthday coming up and not-
Trevor Mach: Sup!
Amy Angel: Huh?
Trevor Mach: Hey!
Amy Angel: AH!
Trevor Mach: AH!
Amy Angel: TREVOR MACH?! What the hell are you doing here!?
Trevor Mach: I'm the one that wrote the note for you. HAHAHAHA.....*cough cough* sorry.
Amy Angel: I should have known when you addressed it to "My Green Haired Waifu". What do you want?
Trevor Mach: Oh I think you know what I want.
Amy Angel: What? No way! Forget it! Not happening mister!
Trevor Mach: You're not going anywhere Amy. I locked the door, and swallowed the key. Not getting out of here until you get in that bed and I get what I want from you and I think you know what that is.
Amy Angel: .....*gulp*
Tack Angel: AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
Cherub Kid: Daijoubu desu ka desu desu?
Tack Angel: Huh? Oh yeah....daijoubu des I guess. I just had this feeling rush up my spine....like something horrible and awful is happening somewhere. I normally don't get those on the weekend. That's more of a brunch time Tuesday sort of feeling....oh well. Anyways, did the Doctor clear you to come back?
Cherub Kid: Hai desu desu!
Tack Angel: Fantastic. Let's get you home.
Trevor Mach: Now see, this wasn't such a bad idea now was it?
Amy Angel: Trevor I-I loved it!
Trevor Mach: Frankly, I'm surprised this was your first experience with this.
Amy Angel: Well it's not something I thought I had the time for.
Trevor Mach: Amy, it's just chick flick bonding movie night. Want some more ice cream?
Amy Angel: I don't, but the baby does. Yeah, we'll go with that. Why do you know so much about chick flick movie night?
Trevor Mach: I've seen a lot of Lifetime television movies.
Amy Angel: Oh. Well, How Stella got her Groove back was a really good choice.
Trevor Mach: You know it!
Amy Angel: Trevor, what is this all about?
Trevor Mach: I wasn't joking before, you know what this all about.
Amy Angel: ....Tack?
Trevor Mach: He's my best friend, and he's like a brother to me. For that reason you and I need to learn to forgive each other.
Amy Angel: How am I supposed to do that? You killed my father!
Trevor Mach: I so did not! Let's get this straight right now. I was at that tournament to stop an evil organization from getting away with millions of dollars. The Government were the ones that wanted your father dead cause he was in with SSS, but SSS were the ones that killed him. Ness and I just foiled there plans. Everyone got that? That's the back story for why Amy hates me. This took place several pages back in the-
Amy Angel: Who are you talking to?
Trevor Mach: No one, don't worry about it. *wink*
Amy Angel: Alright, and now you're winking at someone.
Trevor Mach: ....Look, I didn't kill your father. Stu gets that, and Tack gets that. You need to understand it too.
Amy Angel: Even if that is the case I tried to usurp power from you!
Trevor Mach: Yeah? I blew up EBW Tower once. What's your point? Look, you don't agree with me on a lot of things and that's fine, Tack doesn't either. I wouldn't expect either of you too, but I do expect us to TRY and make this work. I never hated you Amy, not for a second. I hired you because you were good at your job, but also cause you would be good for Tack. Does that sound like I ever had it out for you?
Amy Angel: .....
Trevor Mach: You really are good at your job, and you have been good for Tack. For crying out loud you're having his apathetically blue love child that will probably kick it's way out of the womb! It's Tack's birthday tomorrow. The guy is turning 28, and I think the best gift we could give a guy who hates...uh....hate, is to start over fresh. What do you say?
Amy Angel: ....I still have ambitions to run WAR to overtake EBW someday.
Trevor Mach: Whatever. I'm not in charge anymore. In fact, I like WAR! HA!
Amy Angel: What do you have in mind?
Trevor Mach: I got it all figured out, I just need you to bring Tack to a certain location at a certain time.
Amy Angel: I can do that, but how are we getting out of here?
Trevor Mach: Simple! I told Little M's to unlock the door at 6PM. It is now....11PM.....huh.....I wonder where she is?
Amy Angel: She's deaf isn't she?
Trevor Mach: I prefer the term, "Non-Hearing Enthusiast".
Amy Angel: Well was she looking at you when you gave her the instructions?
Trevor Mach: .....Oh....
Lady M's: M's? Have you seen Trevor anywhere?
Little M's: *signing*
Lady M's: I see. Well, whenever he disappears he's up to something stupid.
Tack Angel: Amy? What are we doing here?
Amy Angel: Heh, Happy Birthday Tack. Hope you enjoy the show.
Tack Angel: What show?
Trevor Mach: BOOSH! Tack Angel, you're my bro and tag team partner, but today you're something even more important, THE BIRTHDAY BOY!
Tack Angel: Eh?
Trevor Mach: You're a man of many fashionable hats, and you've lead a pretty interesting life, that's touched others, sometimes inappropriately! HAHA!
Tack Angel: What?!
Trevor Mach: Since it's your birthday, Amy and I brought you here for the best celebration ever! Tack Angel, THIS IS YOUR LIFE! Hit it Boombox Guy!
>>>>> sYxbSRpVJ3s - Play this song for remainder of skit.
Tack Angel: Oh no.
Trevor Mach: I CANNOT see in this helmet! Tack, you started your career elsewhere, but you came to EBW as a kicking black belt.....that was also 8-bit....and could apparently only look left or right. You quickly became a fan favorite with the ladies am I right man?
Tack Angel: I...uh...what?
Trevor Mach: That's when you met one CP Munk. A man with an affinity for nuts....and acorns, and whatever the hell else chipmunks eat. Most sentient chipmunks get into singing, but this straight edge parody of a guy that likens himself to the worst stable leader ever, got into wrestling instead, coming over from Very Bloody Wrestling. You two formed a team, and the rest was history. I present to you, you're old partner CP Munk!
CP Munk: Hey....sup.
Tack Angel: Hey Munk!
CP Munk: Yeah!? What'sh sho good about it?! *hick*
Tack Angel: I...didn't...say...
Trevor Mach: Oh...he's been drinking. *sniff sniff* Heavily. Look, when I gave you that twenty bucks to show up tonight it wasn't for BOOZE!
CP Munk: OH! Big Mishter MAN telling CP Munk what to do. I got newsh for you pal, this chipmunk can do whatever he wantsh!
Tack Angel: I thought you were straight edge!
CP Munk: I WASh! But then EBW picked YOU to be the breakout shtar, while I was left to rot in the midcard! YOU COULD HAVE HELPED ME OUT, BUT NOOOOOO *hick* OOOOOOOO! I DIDN'T WANT TO BE MARTY JANETTY!
Tack Angel: I'm sorry! It wasn't my fault and-
CP Munk: And by the way! By the way! By the way! I hated....HATED....Journey!
Tack Angel: I don't like em either! It wasn't my idea!
Trevor Mach: That's right, you guys eventually adopted the gimmick of a cover band to Journey! That gimmick was given to you by one Rishin Fliger if I'm not mistaken! Well that went well and you guys got title after title, but eventually Tack moved on to the main event.....and even more tag teaming, but with out a giant talking chipmunk to freak everybody out! That brings us to your next tag team partner. A man you've been up and down the road with many times. You're multi time champs, and the both of you helped me Ness, Paula, and Hotlanta that one time in Onett during that thing we don't like to talk about cause trauma and shit! Swift!
Swift: >:C
Tack Angel: Uh...hey Swift!
Swift: .....I don't have the twenty bucks alright!
Tack Angel: What?
Swift: I know I owe you cause I didn't pin DA like I said I would but....here's how it is....I'm not going to pay you back the twenty dollars. I'm just not going to do it.
Tack Angel: I don't even recall loaning you twenty dollars Swift. Don't worry about-
Swift: You want to hang it above my head eh? That's fine Tack, but I thought you were better than that!
Tack Angel: WHAT?! I'm not!
Swift: Psh! Whatever! Sorry, I'm just a little upset since you beat me for the Mars Championship.
Tack Angel: I did what now?
Amy Angel: You did what now?
Tack Angel: I didn't beat you for that title.
Swift: Don't play games Tack. That totally happened in Zealstralia remember? We were there to do a show for the troops fighting over there and we ended up having a Tank Match for the Mars Championship.
Tack Angel: A Tank Match?
Trevor Mach: I believe that's a match where you wrestle with tanks right Swift?
Swift: Yeah.
Tack Angel: How is that even possible!?
Swift: Look, just take the title alright! You won it fair and square!
Tack Angel: I didn't win anything! I've never even been to Mars!
Trevor Mach: Congratulations to the NEW MARS CHAMPION! Yet another big title to add to the trophy room eh Tack? Speaking of trophies, Tack Angel was once thought to be the trophy boy toy of Ness's mother Tess. Turns out she was just a closet Otaku. That was just one instance of Tack's manly manliness attracting the ladies to him. I mean Tack single handidly brought in the young kid and house wife from Edo demographic. Of course, Tack was always shy around the ladies, waiting to give his heart to that one special lady.
Amy Angel: Awwww...
Trevor Mach: So while waiting for that, he instead gave the dick to Tess's daughter Tracy!
Tack Angel: *spit take*
Trevor Mach: Well look, here is Tracy right now!
Tracy: Hi everyone....Tack.
Tack Angel: I could not be more mortified.
Trevor Mach: Wow, this is kind of awkward isn't it. I didn't actually think this through. Gotta make the best of it. Tracy, you and Tack didn't end on the best terms, but the relationship itself was great while it lasted right?
Tracy: Tack's a great guy honestly, but he's oblivious as all hell. I mean it was practically rape when I finally made my move.
Tack Angel: HEY!
Trevor Mach: HAHA! That's so funny you bring that up, cause Amy assumed I was trying to rape her just yesterday!
Tack Angel: Wait.....WHAT?!
Trevor Mach: Tack, it's not what you think. I just locked her in a room with me for hours and we watched movies and ate ice cream.
Tack Angel: ....At the abandoned building?
Trevor Mach: Yep.
Amy Angel: You know about that place?
Tack Angel: Locked me in there for a Scrabble and Yahtzee marathon once. Two grown men playing board games all night....it was fun.
Amy Angel: We watched a lot of Lifetime movies.
Tack Angel: Oh I'm so sorry. Wait, does this mean you two are getting along?
Amy Angel: Well we're-
Trevor Mach: Hey! Tack! Stop talking to your wife! We're busy talking about your previous sex life, out loud, in a large theater, and this may be being recorded by that damn ninja Jason Hervey! I'LL FIND YOU HERVEY!
Tracy: Uh Trevor? Can I go now?
Trevor Mach: Yeah sure, here's your twenty bucks.
Tracy: Cool thanks. See ya Tack, good luck on the baby.
Tack Angel: Oh thanks!
Tracy: Pray it's not as oblivious as you. I mean come on....could've had ALL THIS, but whatever.
Tack Angel: *sigh*
Trevor Mach: We end this trip down memory lane with today. You're a multi-time champion, husband, future father, and an avid collector of Pogs to this day. An amazing feat that last one. Of course none of it would be possible....somehow....without the assistance of Penguin!
Penguin: Qua!
Tack Angel: Penguin!
Trevor Mach: *sniff* *sniff* Who has also been drinking.
Tack Angel: Well good thing he doesn't have to go to work tonight. He's a pilot...even though Penguins can't fly.....PENGUINS CAN'T FLY!
Penguin: Qua! *hick*
Trevor Mach: ....Not sure what I was expecting from a Penguin. He can't really say much. I guess the show is over then.....TACK, THIS WAS YOUR LIFE!
Tack and Amy: *Awkward Clapping*
Trevor Mach: Don't think it's over just yet Tack. Your birthday is just beginning. I have a whole night of fun and excitement planned for all of us. Let's go!
Amy Angel: Wait, I didn't know about this part. I'm afraid.
Tack Angel: Me too Amy....me too.
Amy Angel: Trevor, what is this?
Trevor Mach: A donkey show!
Amy Angel: Trevor, why would you bring me and my husband to a donkey show!
Trevor Mach: Cause it's weird! Nothing bonds people together faster than seeing weird shit! Right Tack?
Tack Angel: The horror.....the horror.
Amy Angel: I know you mean well, but how did this seem like a good idea to you?
Trevor Mach: It seemed like an idea.....never said it was a good one.
Amy Angel: What is she doing with that? NO! I'm going to throw up!
Trevor Mach: HAHA! Who's hungry?
Trevor Mach: Guys? Guys! I just made you this wonderful spaghetti dinner, and you're goofing off over there! Come sit down and eat!
Amy Angel: That moon.....is looking awfully big.
Tack Angel: I am filled with an off putting sense of fear and terror. NOW it feels like brunch time Tuesday.
Lady M's: Well well well.....Trevor, I haven't had to bail you out of jail since you took hostages that one time. I figured you were getting rusty at this.
Trevor Mach: Hey babe! Just taking the Angel Family out for a night on the town.
Lady M's: That night included an illegal donkey show and breaking into a restaurant so you could make candle lit dinner for Tack and Amy?
Trevor Mach: Yes.
Lady M's: ....You didn't invite me why?
Trevor Mach: It was supposed to be just a special night for Tack and Amy! It's Tack's birthday!
Lady M's: And he's spending it behind bars. Lucky guy.
Trevor Mach: I know right? Did you know this place let Amy and Tack share the cell cause they're married! WE should go here together sometime! That way you can play drop the soap! HAHA!
Lady M's: I'd probably shank you first.
Trevor Mach: Eh?
Lady M's: Nothing Trevtastic, let's just get out of here. Tack? Amy? Ready to go?
Tack Angel: More than ready.
Trevor Mach: Sorry about all this Tack. Hahaha!
Tack Angel: ....Don't worry about it.....thought that counts....yes...thought that counts.
Trevor Mach: You're looking upset man. Don't worry though, cause back at my place I got you guys a giant cake.
Lady M's: If Kinniku Mike busts out of that cake AGAIN I swear I'm chucking him AND the cake over the edge.
Trevor Mach: No worries Tali, it's the perfect cake for the Angels. Angel Food Cake! HAHAHAHAHA!
Tack Angel: Trevor, thanks but, I don't like cake.
Trevor Mach: Oh.....DAMMIT!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TACK ANGEL!

EBW began its Golden Week with the first stage of a Golden Tag League, a tournament to show off the renewed force of Tag Team Wrestling, and determine who would be facing Justice 87 for the EBW Tag Team Championships. Teams were brought in from all three facets of the EBW Network, for the two day tournament that would take place at the Twoson Fairgrounds, in front of a packed crowd.
The wrestlers filled the ring for the trophy unveiling ceremony, except for Firestarter, who kept their distance from the other teams in the tournament. Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart was revealed to be the partner of EBW World Champion Firebrand X, in his continuing mission to bridge the gap and show solidarity, a move that is quickly gaining him a cross promotional fanbase.
-Firestarter and Jet Set Future kicked off the tournament in a heated way. Grind and Switchback were kept off their blades by the menacing Sal and Jamie, with Sal especially trying to rip their masks off and bust them open. The younger high fliers failed to gain any momentum, and Sal quickly dispatched Switchback with the Paradise Lost Brainbuster Grade: B+
-Shoot Club debuted as a tag team against Macho Mask #1 and #2 in a very impressive match with a heavy Shoot influence. The Macho Masks held up against the Macho Hero Grand Champion, with MM #1 nearly nearly taking Amigo's head off with a vicious rolling elbow, but Amigo recovered to nearly submitted his would be beheader with an Ankle Lock. Late in the match Noah Jennings got a chance to show off his new "legit" wrestling style against MM #2, showing he could chain wrestle and avoid the submissions attempts of the much larger competitor. Noah tagged in Amigo who quickly pounced and laid in some hard shots before going for his dreaded Sleeper Hold, that did what it was supposed to do and choked out the Macho Mask. Amigo and Noah won the match, but importantly, they did it in legitimate fashion. Grade: A
-The champions Firebrand X and Simon Stuart put aside EBW/WAR differences, and proved to be quite the formidable team against Troy and Little Mac. The raging Alpha Beta Bully was unfocused and angry due to his NYR 2013 loss to Simon Stuart, and that wasn't playing by Mac's strategy. That allowed FBX and Stuart to target Mac and wear him down before the champ hit the Fire Crash Buster to score the pin. Troy's uncontrollable outbursts made this a wild match, but an unsuccessful one for the Alpha Beta. Grade: B
After the match, Firebrand X and Simon Stuart were called to the back for a word with the press about the EBW/WAR alliance team, but in the process Troy came out of nowhere and blindsided Stuart with a big boot that sent him straight into a table full of technical equipment. The feed had to be switched to an alternate camera angle as Troy continued his assault, using the camera that was originally capturing the attack. Eventually, Firebrand X managed to get into the mess and fight Troy, but it wasn't until the unlikely arrival of Nikky that things got under control...
Troy: RAHHHHH!
Little Mac: That is what happens little boy when you mess with the real tough guy! That's what happens when you mess with Troy!
Firebrand X: Back off the both of you. You don't want this to get messy.
Nikky: Someone call the EMT!
Firebrand X: Stuart, you alright?
Simon Stuart: ...I....ugh....I....
Nikky: I would say not. HURRY UP WITH THAT EMT!
Little Mac: We made out point. Let's go Troy.
Troy: ......
Reporter #1: Firebrand, what does this mean for you in the Golden Tag League? What happens if Simon Stuart can't compete?
Firebrand X: I do what I have to do and go it alone. Those parasites aren't stopping me for one second. I appreciate Simon's will and determination to work with me, but look at him. I'm saying right now he can't compete, and I won't ask him to, nor will I let him. I have to go back out there tonight, and I'll go it alone.
Nikky: You don't have to do that. I'll go in Simon's place.
Firebrand X: You?
Nikky: I just helped you out back there.
Firebrand X: You were just trying to play the hero like you like to rant on and on about.
Nikky: Think whatever you want, but I saved you guys back there. It could've gotten a lot messier. I've decided what I'm doing, and where I'm going now. Give me the chance to show you that.
Firebrand X: Alright, I'll give you the chance. Don't make me regret it.
Nikky: I appreciate it. Simon, I'll handle the rest for you.
-Stage 1 ended with Justice 87 taking on Scorpio and Leo, in a continuation of the struggle between Mach and Scorpio from late last year. Big match with several near falls on both sides. Zodiac had back up in the form of Aquarius, but Trevor Mach nullified that with a flying knee sent Aquarius off the apron and intro the guard rail. Match finish came with Trevor brawling with Scorpio on the outside, as Tack managed to roll away from a Lionsault attempt and trap Leo in the Angel Driver for the pin. The Tag Team Champions move onto the next stage. Grade: A-
Justice 87 celebrated, but the celebration was cut short, as the Shoot Club immediately hit the ring for their match with the tag champs, as the second stage for Golden Tag League was underway...
-The four men brawled at ringside to start before getting settled into the match. Amigo hit an early backdrop driver that shook Tack. Both men tagged their partners and Trevor got the upper-hand on Noah with a series of take downs, and barely escaped Trevorplex!, and a rushing elbow that lead to a nearfall. Trevor tagged in Tack, who followed up with a split-legged moonsault. Tack picked up Noah and sent him to the ropes for the attack, but Amigo tagged in and shot on Tack, trying to go for the submission attempts. Tack was caught in the Ankle Lock, but managed to tag in Trevor, who clobbered Amigo with a knee drop. Back and forth action that almost immediately ground to a halt when Sal Paradise rushed down to the ring to taunt Justice 87 from the ring apron. Trevor turned for a second towards Sal, and that was enough for Amigo to lock in the Sleeper Hold. Tack tried to get in and make the save, but Noah got in the way long enough for Amigo to choke out Trevor Mach and score the win. Good match brought down slightly by the interference. Grade: B+
Tack dragged Trevor out of the ring as Sal Paradise and Jamie OD laughed it up in the ring. They too couldn't celebrate for long though, as Firebrand X and his replacement partner Nikky made their way down to the ring to take on the devious Firestarter...
-Sal and Firebrand X traded holds on the mat during the early going. Sal escaped a hold and spit gum onto FBX's mask. Nikky and Jamie tagged into the match. Nikky hit a nice arm drag followed by a dropkick, but Jamie hit the unseen low blow to regain momentum. Firestarter hit some tandem offense on Nikky as the ref tried to keep Sal out of the ring. Nikky tagged out to FBX, and the champ went to work on Jamie in the corner with several punches and kicks. Notorious J.O.D fired up and cut off Firebrand before tagging in Sal. They double teamed the champ, as the ref tried to hold Jamie out of the ring this time. Firebrand showed why he was the champ by taking shot on both men and tossing Jamie out of the ring. The enraged hooligan tagged himself back in just as Trevor Mach had come to and decided to turn the tables on Firestarter. Jamie took down Firebrand, but Trevor tripped him up when he tried to run the ropes. That lead to Jamie tripping right into the waiting hands of Firebrand and a Crash Fire Buster. The champ tagged out and tackled Sal to ringside. He flipped over the ropes and splashed down on Sal before Paradise could turn his attention to Trevor and Tack like he wanted to. Nikky picked up the stunned Jamie OD and dropped him with a Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver followed by the pin and the win. Another great match, though interference once again played a role. Grade: A-
Justice 87 got a measure of payback, and now both teams are out of the Golden Tag League. Two teams that WILL go on are the Shoot Club and the sudden pairing of EBW World Champion Firebrand X and Nikky.

Announcer: With a big Golden Week Announcement on the way, it's time for another EBW Network News Break. Let's take it to Nerma.
Nerma: Thanks...uh...disembodied voice? Seriously, has anyone actually seen this announcer guy? Who is he? Anyways, Golden Week is underway, and part two of EBW's Golden Tag League is going down tonight, with some big matches leading up to the finals of the tournament. One such match was just added, as the Zodiac's Leo has made a demand for a title match, and Eagleland Champion Swift stepped up to the challenge. Leo, why the sudden decision to make a move for the Eagleland Championship?
Leo: I will present it as tribute to our new leader when Sagittarius is revealed, and Sagittarius will be revealed sooner rather than later. Our leader is tired of hiding.
Nerma: Wow, that sounds like a big deal. The entire roster will need to be- ok seriously, who the hell is the announcer guy? This is really bugging me! Is the announcer guy Sagittarius?
Leo: ......No.
Nerma: Well, I'm out of ideas. Swift, are you up to the challenge of Leo?
Swift: I better be! Last thing I want is to lose this championship, since I already lost the Mars Championship to Tack! >:C
Tack Angel (in the distance): That didn't happen Swift!
Swift: Quiet Mars Champion! Trying to do an interview over here! I don't interrupt your interviews do I? You just keep rubbing in the fact that you beat me! >:C
Nerma: Well there you have it! You can also expect to see Justice 87 team up with the returning Cherub Kid to take on Firestarter in a 6-Man No Rules battle. Should be an interesting show. Don't miss it!

Nikky: NYAH! This is just crazy! Tag champs Justice 87 and Cherub Kid are brawling with Firestarter right in the middle of Twoson Mall. The police are trying to regain control, but to no avail. This is insane! Tack Angel is launching into a TaToBa Kick on Destroyer A, Jamie OD tried to launch a soccer ball at Trevor Mach, but he dodged and is retaliating with the Macha Ye! Sal Paradise has Cherub in a cart and he's launching him towards the escalator. Dammit, he JUST came back from recovery! This is just wild! How are we going to get these teams back to the arena for the show?!
Another packed crowd filled the Twoson Fairgrounds for the second night of Golden Week, and the final stage in the Golden Tag League. Teams from EBW, WAR, and Zodiac were all vying for the win, the trophies, and the title shots, but now it was down to two teams. The makeshift team of EBW World Champion Firebrand X and Nikky taking on Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo and Noah Jennings of the new Shoot Club team. This big match, Justice 87 and Firestarters in a 6-Man No Rules Brawl, and an Eagleland Championship match would make this quite the eventful night.
Amigo: w00t, what do you want? This better be very important! I've got a big main event match to get ready for.
Ryan IQ: Wait, I've always wondered about that. What exactly do you have to do to get ready? People say that all the time. I'm just curious.
Amigo: Ummm....uh....stretching.
Doctor Degrees: Oh that's good! Stretching is really helpful for-
w00t: Enough guys. I brought you all here for a reason. Zodiac has claimed that Sagittarius is on the way, and I'm going to find out who it is. I've brought you here because you're my three suspects in this little case.
Amigo: Me? Don't make me laugh w00t. I'm not into the masks and the gimmicks. I've got my title and I've got Shoot Club.
w00t: Oh right....but you're still shady.
Amigo: I'll give you that one.
w00t: Fine, well how about you "Doctor" if that is your real name!
Doctor Degrees: It's not....it's Degrees.
w00t: How come I never see you around like the rest of the roster. Hiding something?
Doctor Degrees: I'm the EBW Doctor. I have patients and an oath to maintain. I don't go to the shows if I'm not booked. That reminds me. How is the "situation" going with the-
w00t: Fine! It's fine! The cream worked. That's all I can say right now in front of a camera!
Ryan IQ: Why do you have Curry Man out here? He's on the Board of Directors.
w00t: Yeah, but you never know what's going on in his mind. Just look at those eyes....crazed.....unblinking....*shudder*
Curry Man: Ichiiiiiiiban!
w00t: So he admits it!
Ryan IQ: No, that was just him....doing his thing.
w00t: Fine then....is it YOU RY RY?!
Ryan IQ: *sigh* No.
w00t: Oh. Well....maybe it's me?
Ryan IQ: I don't know, are you Sagittarius?
w00t: No.
Ryan IQ: Then it's not you.
w00t: Right.
Ryan IQ: You doing alright sir?
w00t: I'm fine! I'm just on edge about the identity of Sagittarius. I want to know who it is.
Ryan IQ: You might not have to wait long. I'm just getting word that Zodiac have entered the building.
w00t: *sigh* Here we go then.
-Opening match saw the Reality Gangster take on Jet Set Future in Infinity tag action. Subculture ran the angles outside the ring to try and cause the distractions, but the Lucha Blades team was already injured following their match the previous day. Great action none the less, but the newcomer duo of DZ and Ditch showed their worth, when DZ hit Grind with an Over the Shoulder Reverse Piledriver followed by the pin. Big win for the Reality Gangsters, while Jet Set Future continues to struggle. Grade: A-
-Zodiac started the night off strong, as Scorpio put on a dominating effort against the good Doctor Degrees. Degrees knows the physical well being and weaknesses of most of the roster, but not Zodiac, so his advantage was thrown out, and after a Scorpion Death Drop and a pin he was knocked out. Grade: B+
-Swift would stand up to the Zodiac next by putting his Eagleland Championship on the line and answering the challenge of Leo in a hard fought brawl. Not a pretty match, with Swift going for his signature power moves, and Leo just managing to evade at time. Aquarius and Taurus weren't far off to help Leo, and freed him from a Blackhammer attempt. Swift went after Taurus, but Leo put him in a Reverse DDT and dropped him for the nearfall. The title was on the line and the action was top notch, but Swift would not be allowed to put away Leo if Zodiac could help it. Late in the match, Swift barely missed a POUNCE! and hit the turnbuckle hard. He backed out of the corner with Leo hitting the Bulldog and a Lionsault. He followed it up with a Lion Tamer that Swift refused to tap to. Swift grabbed for the ropes with the fans chanting for him, but as he reached for the ropes Taurus spit in his face and pulled the ropes away. Leo forced Swift back to the middle, but still Swift refused to tap out. The pain forced the Eagleland Champ to black out, and the referee had no choice, but to end the match. Leo won with help from Zodiac, but more importantly, is now the Eagleland Champion. Another belt goes Zodiac. Grade: B+
-It would be No Holds Bared for these two teams, as Justice 87 and Cherub Kid took on rivals Sal Paradise, Jamie OD, and Destroyer A of Firestarter. The action could barely be continued in the Twoson Fairgrounds let alone the ring. No tags and no rules, which served both teams just fine. Destroyer A ripped Tack Angel into the crowd and they brawled throughout, with Tack taking some hard shots to avoid DA actually hurting some of the fans. Security eventually came out to form a ring around them, but the damage was done, as DA lifted Tack by the throat and chucked him down the stands, landing right through a merchandise table. Trevor was fairing a little better against Jamie OD, but using a lighter and a little fluid, a fireball took Trevor to the ground, with the hooligan stomping away. Cherub Kid tried to put up a fight, but Sal hit his Paradise Lost Brainbuster, and trapped Cherub into the Paradise Lock until he had no choice but to tap out, but Sal held the hold to try and re-injure Cherub until security poured in to break it up. Justice 87 took a lot of punishment from Firestarter on this night. What a mess. Grade: A-
-The main event would see the EBW World Champion Firebrand X align with the enigmatic free agent Nikky against Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo and Noah Jennings of the newly formed Shoot Club, with Mr. Daisuke Saito watching from ring side. Shoot Club claims to bring the true legitimate wrestling, so we saw no outside interference from Saito for a match with such big stakes. The final match in the Golden Tag League, who would get the title shot? Amigo took Nikky down with a series of arm drags during the early going, but Nikky recovered and launched into a flying lariat to floor the "legitimate champion". Nikky tagged in Firebrand, with the champ taking shots from Amigo. FBX fired back and took down Amigo with a headscissors takedown. Firebrand had the advantage with his ability to switch from MMA to a Lucha based style, and he tagged in Noah Jennings. Nikky demanded to be tagged in. Firebrand looked hesitantly across the ring, but tagged in the free agent. Nikky went wild on Noah with dropkick after dropkick. He got the crowd fired up and they supported him as he attempted to lift Noah up for the finish, but Amigo shot in and took Nikky off his feet, recouping the momentum for Shoot Club. Nikky was tossed into his corner and Firebrand quickly tagged back in to rush Amigo. Match continued on like this for quite some time, with the champ getting caught in the corner and isolated. The crowd went wild for Firebrand as he finally put a halt to Amigo's German trio and hit one of his own. Firebrand staggered to his feet and went to tag Nikky, but suddenly Firebrand's makeshift partner jumped off the ring apron and smirked at Firebrand as he slowly backed up the stage. Firebrand was livid and about to get out of the ring to get Nikky, but Amigo caught him with his new signature Sleeper Hold, locking in the hold tight and quickly putting the bloody champ to sleep. Amigo and Noah Jennings celebrated their big victory, but the victory came with the betrayal of Nikky. Grade: A
After the match Amigo and Noah clung to their trophies, but looked on puzzlingly at Nikky, who backed up to the entrance on the stage. Just then, Zodiac poured out and surrounded Nikky until no one could see him. They suddenly parted as Nikky in a golden mask and cloak walked back down to the ring. Shoot Club quickly took their prizes out of the ring, as Nikky lead Zodiac into the ring and continued an attack on the EBW World Champion. Nikky picked up Firebrand X for the Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver, a move that has a whole new meaning. A meaning that was staring everyone in the face the entire time. The golden arrow comes from Sagittarius. The show ended with the EBW roster pouring out to witness the arrival of the new Zodiac leader. Their chosen one, Nikky the Sagittarius...

Announcer: And now with another EBW News Update, let's take to Nerma in the EBW News Center!
Nerma: Hello everyone, I'm Nerma, and I've got a very special guest with me tonight, as I'm joined by Gemma, who is here to update everyone on the EBW World Champion's mental state following the reveal of Nikky as Sagittarius. We all remember just two days ago when Nikky cost the World Champ the Golden Tag League, before revealing himself as the leader of the Zodiac. The enigmatic free agent played EBW and WAR for fools while positioning himself within both promotions. Firebrand can't be too happy about it.
Gemma: To say the least. I mean, both Firebrand and I were apart of Zodiac in the past. Firebrand long before EBW, and me up until recently. We never expected anything like this. I mean, they were always looking for the "Sagittarius". They were always waiting for the one they thought would bring them together to achieve their goals. We thought that once Firebrand turned them down and left Zodiac that they would be left leaderless, but I guess they moved on.
Nerma: So Firebrand's pretty livid then.
Gemma: You don't really get to see Firebrand get upset. He wears the mask. He keeps his cool. He only shows himself to me, and I don't even get to see him angry. No, the only time you know he's angry is when the mask comes off, and the demon comes out to play. By then it's already too late.
Nerma: So do you expect Firebrand to make a statement on recent actions himself?
Gemma: I think his actions will speak for him. Expect that.
Nerma: Alright, thank you Gemma. Big news from the Golden Tag League with Nikky becoming Sagittarius, but that's not all that happened in those two nights. Justice 87 and Firestarter were both in the League, but the teams cost each other respective second stage matches. This lead to a No Rules 6-Man Tag, where Sal Paradise, Jamie OD, and Destroyer A continued to show their high levels of violence. Jamie OD just barely missed with a Fireball that scorched Trevor Mach's face, but could have blinded him. Tack Angel took a nasty fall right through a merchandise table. Cherub Kid was nearly re-injured after just coming back for this match. It was brutal, but the fact that Justice 87 is still standing shows that Firestarter is far from done. In fact, they sent in a tape saying that exact thing...
Sal Paradise: Tack Angel, if you don't want your "kid" getting hurt badly, I'd suggest you KEEP HIM OUT OF THE WAR ZONE! Justice 87, we beat you at the Golden Tag League. We proved we are more vicious. We proved that we're the hungrier, and willing to do a lot more to you or to others to get what we want then you are to us. No boundaries, no rules, that's just the way we like it. That's how I've always liked it. Since I've taken off that mask and showed you what you can really expect from me I want you to know that I'm just getting started. You both got hurt, but you got back up, and that's the problem. Trevor Mach is still able to compete in the King of Shoot tournament and that's the problem. I'M NOT COVERED IN YOUR BLOOD AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM! I'm going to BEAT THE HELL out of you Trevor Mach, cause I'm hungry, and I'm angry, and I don't care.....about anything. Right now, I bet "Mr. Mach", is off goofing around making jokes, but I've got news for you. If it hasn't happened yet, reality is going to give you a cold hard *slaps himself* SLAP IN THE FACE! The Trevor Mach of the past used to be RUTHLESS! FEARLESS! Now....he's gone soft. Maybe he's too old now, or maybe he's too injured. Maybe after sitting behind a desk for awhile helps you forget how to fight for your life.....WELL I'M GOING TO REMIND YOU!
----------
Nerma: We end today's update with a card for the show that will be taking place very shortly for Golden Week. Despite the short time between shows, Trevor Mach was able to secure Kazushi Sasaki to return and team with Simon Stuart in the opener. Noah Jennings of Shoot Club will take on Hashim Al-Singh, while Little Mac takes on Fighter Daron. The main event will of course be the King of Shoot Final Stage pitting Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo against Trevor Mach. Remember, the winner will receive the $10,000 prize, the trophy, and the two mastery medals. Amigo finds himself in a position to not only grab another trophy this week, but also to gain some leverage as a champion who happens to have medals he can use for leverage. Will this continue to be Amigo's Golden Week? Tune in and fine out! It's NEXT!

2. Singles: Noah Jennings vs. Hashim Al-Singh
3. Singles: Fighter Daron vs. Little Mac
4. King of Shoot 2013 Final Stage: Trevor Mach vs. Amigo
Machismo Office returned to the Bonk! Energy Sports Arena for the second night of the King of Shoot Tournament. Trevor Mach and Amigo will face off Shoot Style for all the accolades, but we'd also see the return of Kazushi Sasaki tonight, as he'd open the show with Simon Stuart to take on the Macho Mask duo.
-Opening contest saw WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart join forces with the cross over legend Kazushi Sasaki against the Macho Masks in a great tag team match. Kazushi endorsed Stuart after winning the match with an Armbar Submission on Mask #2. Grade: A-
-Noah Jennings represented Shoot Club against Hashim Al-Singh, bringing with him the more "legitimate" style which surprisingly has lead to no dirty tricks from the former 4-Time Eagleland Champion. Hashim Al-Singh's bad luck losing streak continued, as he fell right into a Stock Market Crash, and Noah pinned the much larger fighter for the 1-2-3. Grade: B
-Fighter Daron continues to fight one sided battles against veterans of the fighting arts. He's developing an underdog status as he refuses to give in to his more experienced competitors. Unfortunately, none of that means anything when a KO Punch from the Green Greed Legend leads to an instant KO and pin. Grade: B+
-Main event saw a classic encounter between Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo and Trevor Mach in the Final Stage of the King of Shoot Tournament. Shoot Rules lead to Noah and Daisuke Saito being taken away from ringside. Opening minutes saw more of a strike fest then we normally see from Amigo. Mach used a smashing elbow to bust Amigo's mouth open, but Amigo countered hard with a punch that broke Trevor Mach's nose. Blood poured as he tried to recover while Amigo took him to the mat for submissions attempts. Needless to say that Mach had to blow through his rope breaks fairly quickly, but he also nearly tapped Amigo. As the match progressed Trevor started landing more shots and caught Amigo in the clinch for the knees. Stealing a move out of Tack's playbook, Trevor used a series of kicks to weaken the legs of Amigo and take the power out of his shoot attempts. Amigo instead shot behind Trevor and went for the German, but Trevor reversed it into a Reverse Trevorplex!, which was then escaped in a tense exchange. Amigo was getting frustrated and forced Trevor into the corner with stomps, and held his boot on his throat a little too long and found himself with a yellow card. Before Amigo could argue about he card Trevor hopped up and clipped Amigo with a Macha Ye. The move had Amigo reeling, but he survived the full contact. The match ended at the 15 minute mark with both men trading punches looking to finish strong. Amigo knew the Yellow Card would hurt his score, and he was right as Trevor Mach won the match via Judge's Decision, but the scoring was close, and it could have gone either way without the Yellow Card. First instance of the cards coming into play for the scoring, showing that you can not break the rules in a Shoot Rules match. Grade: A-
After the match, Trevor Mach was presented with the King of Shoot trophy, $10,000, and the two Mastery Medals, along with some gauze for his broken nose. The celebration was short lived however, as Sal Paradise appeared in the arena in casual wear and brought a beer bottle to the fron row where he busted it over the head of Tack Angel, who was sitting in attendance. Trevor rushed to the stands and tried to get to Sal, but he chucked what was left of the bottle at Mach as security dragged him out of the building. A solid Shoot Rules tournament that ends with Sal Paradise once again crashing the party for Justice 87...

Golden Week continues on the hot beaches of the hot city of Summers, for WAR's contribution for the week, the Infinity Division tournament the Infinity Gauntlet. On this hot night the Infinity Division would heat back up with a new fire to re-energize the the hot division. I'm trying to get across that it's really hot, did you get that? Cause that's what I was going for. Members of EBW, WAR, and Zodiac filled the ring for the Trophy unveiling and the unveiling of the Infinity Gauntlet, the symbol of excellence that will be awarded to the winner. We also got to see that Cherub Kid was the extra entrant, after making his return from injury earlier in the week.
-Great matches from top to bottom...alright maybe not bottom, as Zodiac's new Aries the Infinity Division Champion Hotlanta didn't feel like playing by the rules or advancing in the tournament. He got himself DQ'd after attacking the referee who tried to stop him from shoving Bolshoi's rose down his throat. WAR was looking for this tournament to go off without a hitch, but plenty of hitches were delivered by the Infinity Division Champion. Grade: N/A
-Subculture and Randy no Kachi battled in a contest to see who was hungrier for the belt. RnK had been to the mountain top before, but the Reality Gangster was starving for a shot and narrowly won out by reversing a No Kachi Cutter into the Counterculture. Grade: A
-DZ, the former Yaku.....man of questionable background took on the White Noise Ninja next. He roughed up Anwin for most of the match and almost ripped off his mask following a head lock to the mat, but Anwin fought to his feet and hit an out of nowhere Static Suplex followed by the quick pin to shock this Reality Gangster. Grade: A
-The last match of the first stage saw Cherub Kid return to the Infinity Division to take on Ditch. Ditch's tape library only covers wrestle up to the start of the DVD age, so he didn't have the Tack Angel influenced style scouted. Cherub showed fire and intensity with his kicks that took Ditch to the mat. Cherub went to the top rope for a Cherub's Flight and the pin. Big win for the protege of Tack Angel Grade: A-
-Subculture didn't make things as easy for Bolshoi as Hotlanta did. The clowned prince of Infinity is no slouch in the ring as a former champion himself, but that didn't stop his usual antics which cost him this time around, as the no nonsense Reality Gangster gave him a reality check with the Counterculture and pinned him for the win. Grade: B+[/b]
-Main event saw Cherub Kid face a tough challenge from Anwin. Anwin is a former Infinity Division Champion and Tag Team Champion in his own right, but Cherub Kid was resilient and actually managed to kick out of the Static Suplex. The Kid was looking focused and used a high kick to position Anwin into the finisher of his mentor the Angel Driver to get the pin and the win. Great night for Cherub Kid and a surprise loss for Anwin. Grade: A-

Announcer: It's time for another EBW News Update, with Nerma!
Nerma: WHERE ARE YOU?! WHO ARE YOU?! *sigh* Stupid disembodied voice. Hi, Nerma here again with more updates for Golden Week and BEYOND! That's right, we've got news about a big special event next week that will continue the momentum from this week's tough, but exciting schedule! First, we look at WAR's Infinity Gauntlet Final Stage. The EBW and Zodiac wrestlers will be in the house for this final show of Golden Week. We've got hot 3-Team Infinity Tag action, the Infinity Division Champion will be in action. The rising star Magnum PT will take on Zodiac, as will EC Champ Simon Stuart and Dynamic Dougie. Tack Angel is going to represent Justice 87 against Firestarter when he takes on Jamie OD.

Announcer: Tell them about what's next!
Nerma: I'm getting to it! Geez! The success of Golden Week has lead to an even bigger story. Machismo Office will be taking a week off next week so that we can present to you a live special event. It will be called EBW: The Golden, and will feature four giant match ups, two of them with belt implications! That's right, no rest for the weary, as the ragged schedule will continue for EBW, WAR, and Zodiac. Simon Stuart will put the WAR Euro-Continental Championship on the line against the Green Greed Legend Little Mac, while Hotlanta will immediately face the winner of the Infinity Gauntlet Tournament, so it will either be Cherub Kid or Subculture. Firebrand X will return to action following the loss in the Golden Tag League to join Antonio Daman and Jet Set Future against the new leader of Zodiac Nikky the Sagittarius. Nikky is looking to quickly ascend to the top, and he'll be joined by Taurus, Scorpio, and Eagleland Champion Leo. The main event is a huge one, as it comes as a counter challenge to Firestarter by the EBW Tag Team Champions Justice 87. The duo shot a little footage of their own, on a much nicer camera I might add. Let's check it out!
Trevor Mach: Sal! Jamie! DA! Look, we can record our own footage too! Man, you guys are really looking for a fight aren't you? Well guess what? YOU FOUND ONE! BOOSH! We were just hanging out with some of our friends here, having a bit of a party, when we got this GREAT idea! Tell em Tack! Tack? TACK!
Tack Angel: Huh? What? What was the plan?
Trevor Mach: *sigh* Dammit Tack, the cage remember?
Tack Angel: Oh right. Listen DA, I don't know what you're problem is with me, but we can work it out this next week at EBW: The Golden. We'll take on Firestarter in a Steel Cage.
Trevor Mach: We're not just talking Jamie and Sal. We're talking about the big man too. Don't worry about us, we've got ourselves a Brawler to back us up!
Tack Angel: I know you want a shot at the Tag Team Championships again. Well our dance card is going to be full with Amigo and Noah Jennings soon enough, you win and you can call the shots on when and where we defend these belts. You want to be first in line then step up.
Trevor Mach: If we win you keep your hands off Tack's PREGNANT wife!
Tack Angel: Amy.
Trevor Mach: Yeah! What he said! You keep your hands off of her, and you stay on your own show! You want a fight, you invite me and I'll come over to play. I know you want a fight don't you Sal? You don't have to make threats or badger me with any kind of videos. You make the challenge and I'll be right there! Let's see if you'll do the same. I wouldn't think Sal Paradise the cowardly type. Haha!
Tack Angel: Be there....or...be....somewhere else....but without a shot at us....so your loss....help me out Trevor.
Trevor Mach: Time to man up Firestarter! We're hurt, and we're bruised, and we're prime targets, so get while the getting is good! I'm all jacked up just thinking about this fight! BOOSH!
Tack Angel: That went well I think.
Trevor Mach: Hey Tack, real talk?
Tack Angel: Real talk.
Trevor Mach: Gotta work on those threats brah!
Tack Angel: I know, I've just never been mean spirited on the mic and-
Trevor Mach: Wait, is this camera still on? Dammit!

Nerma: We sent out the tape and quickly got back a response. The match is on! Justice 87 and Swift will battle Firestarter inside of a Steel Cage, Trevor and Tack are stretching themselves thin in this fight with Firestarter, but so are Sal and Jamie. Which team will snap first?!

Golden Week ends with the final stage of the Infinity Gauntlet, where a bright young star will get the chance to claim it all and go after the champion.
-Opening match saw Shoot Club take on Jet Set Future, and the duo of RnK and Anwin in Infinity Division 3-Team action. Hot match from start to finish with fast tags and near falls. Jet Set Future continues to suffer some hard losses, and here it came from Ditch hitting the Bootlegger on Switchback before getting the pin. Grade: A-
-The Infinity Division Champion wasn't having any of Bonk Boy's zany antics. The energy drink mascot tried to hand out product to the fans in attendance, but the new Aries dragged Bonk into the ring and controlled the one sided effort, finishing off the rookie with the Bellerophon Bomb renamed the the Aries Bomb. Grade: B
-Magnum PT continued his roll while taking on Aquarius. Zodiac's been getting big wins, but the mustacheod newcomer managed to thwart off Aquarius and hit the Mustache Ride for the pin and the win. Grade: A-
-Zodiac got back on track in the next match, as Eagleland Champion Leo and Taurus took on WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart and Dynamic Dougie. Exciting back and forth action from start to finish, but a GORE from Taurus to the Dynamic One lead to the win for Zodiac via pinfall. Grade: B+
-Tack Angel and Jamie OD continued the Justice 87-Firestarter war in singles action. The heated match up featured a particularly brutal exchange where Tack and J.O.D stood in the center of the ring exchanging vicious head kicks back and forth to see who would fall first. Jamie broke up the back and forth with a head butt that took Tack to his knees. He ran the ropes for the Penalty Kick, but Tack evaded and assisted Jamie OD out of the ring. The Hooligan was livid, but the anger quickly turned to manic laughter as Jamie proceeded to walk away from the ring to the back. The referee had to give the 10-Count, and Tack Angel won the match. Erratic behavior from the hooligan ended an otherwise great match prematurely. Grade: B+
-Main event for the Infinity Gauntlet, and two young up and comers have a chance to break out big and make a run for the Infinity gold with this very big win. Subculture glared at Cherub Kid from across the ring before they went at it. Subbie backed the Kid into the corner and shoved him. Cherub shoved him back, but Subculture decked him with a closed fist. They went to a fast-paced exchange and Subculture got a trailer hitch on Cherub, but he got the ropes. Subculture caught Cherub with another closed fist and the normally happy and subdued Cherub got upset. Both men began shoving each other and Subculture threw another hard right, but Cherub caught him with a cartwheel into a dropkick for a 2 count.
Subbie recovered and worked him over for a long period of time and nailed him with a dive through the ropes. Subculture went for a running kick from the apron to the floor, but Cherub ducked and caught him with an ace crusher on the apron a short time later. Both men came back into the ring on opposite side of the ring at the same time and went face-to-face. They began exchanging blows in the middle of the ring. Both men took big kicks and kept on coming. Subbie took control and tried to hit the Counterculture, but Cherub escaped and hit the backdrop. He went high risk for the Cherub's Flight, but Subculture rolled out of the way. Luckily for Cherub, he saw it coming and rolled into his move, recovering on the landing and managed to hit Subculture in the abdomen before hitting the Angel Driver. 1-2-3! Big surprise win, as Cherub Kid over came the Reality Gangster and captured the win and the Infinity Gauntlet. Excellent match that showed off the best of the new generation. Grade: A
After the match Tack Angel rushed the ring to celebrate with his protege as Cherub Kid was awarded the Infinity Gauntlet and the trophy. Cherub Kid just scored the biggest win of his career, and will now go on to face the Infinity Division Champion Hotlanta at EBW: The Golden.

Announcer: And now with the big news all across the EBW Network, it's Nerma at the News Center. Take it away Nerma.
Nerma: I swear, I'm going to find out who you are and where you are one of these days. You creep me out disembodied voice! Hello everyone, Nerma here with the big news and boy do I have some big news for you tonight! Amy Angel has made her move again! Now that Golden Week is over, the truce is also over, and the war between EBW and WAR continues. Amy Angel fired another huge shot at EBW by taking over the Infinity Division! That's right, Amy Angel pulled out another ace card by failing to mention to her replacements when the copyrights on the Infinity Division name and brand were set to expire. She proceeded to let them expire and buy them up for WAR. Now the title and the talent have become WAR exclusives! A clever move in this constant game of chess. Amy Angel seems to want to let everyone know that although hostilities with the Mach Family seem to be over and baby will eventually be on the way, she's still a shrewd business woman looking to win a brand war. WAR is now not just the "new home for heroes" but also the home of the Infinity Division.
Nerma: You'll notice from the footage of the announcement, that EBW fixtures Antonio Daman, Bolshoi, and Switchback are amongst the wrestlers. That's because these wrestlers opted to follow the Infinity Division. That means that Jet Set Future has split to different brands in an effort to refocus their careers and bring the Lucha Blades style to both shows. You'll also see members of Machismo Office, formerly The Wrestling, in the group. More on that later. President w00t is not one to be outdone, and after a day of cursing, heavy drinking, and brainstorming a new plan was set in motion. That plan is the Bravest Division! A fresh start and a brand new competitive division that will compete with the Infinity Division, but it won't BE the Infinity Division. The new rules are as follows...
Bravest Division Rules
--------------------
-It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits, but it still has weight limits....no super heavyweights.
-Every Bravest Division match is fought under No Rules, except for a title bout in which case the only rule is no outside interference.
-Wildstyle applies in that matches can take place anywhere with a referee and camera present.
-The #1 Contender will be able to choose the stipulations for a title match, and the Champion MUST accept.
Nerma: President w00t commended the ingenuity of his rival Amy Angel, but promised that the Bravest Division would surpass Infinity, which is technically impossible to do since Infinity is an intangible and impossible thing to reach, but that's taking things WAY too literally. The first Bravest Division Champion will be decided immediately on the next Xcite when the shows opens with a 4-Way Ladder match. Since Switchback has gone to WAR to achieve Infinity success, that means Grind will be entering the Bravest Division. You'll notice more members of the former The Wrestling group, and that is because they have finally moved up to the main brands. The group was split between EBW and WAR. This is part of a movement on both sides to fill up their roster for deeper divisions. That also means Chu Chu has moved up and will be joining the EBW roster, but will be gunning for other gold. The Bravest Division will debut on an Xcite that will also see Chu Chu debut for the brand, and the EBW World Champion will be in action against Scorpio. This will also be the night that Nikky the Sagittarius finally addresses the fans following his defection to lead Zodiac. What will he have to say ahead of a big showdown at EBW: The Golden? Tune in and find out!

Amy Angel: Tack, what's wrong?
Tack Angel: Nothing really, I'm just thinking.
Amy Angel: About?
Tack Angel: Destroyer A. He seems to have it out for me, and the way he put his hands on you before...I just want to know why.
Amy Angel: He's always been very unpredictable. When I asked for his help before all of this he seemed very soft spoken and reasonable. When push came to shove though, he turned out to be a monster, and I'm not sure he's got a reason for doing anything.
Tack Angel: Yeah, but if he does have a reason, I'd like to know it.
Amy Angel: Why don't you ask Trevor? He's got more of a past with DA then I do. Maybe he could enlighten us.
Tack Angel: Easier said than done. Trevor's...well....acting crazed and sporadic....more than usual. Hard to get an answer out of him.
Amy Angel: Why is that?
Tack Angel: It's February, that means Trevor's birthday is coming up soon.
Amy Angel: So? Yours wasn't too long ago and you didn't freak out. We even spent the night in jail and you handled it surprisingly well.
Tack Angel: Yeah, but for Trevor it's something bigger. He's turning 30. He's having a....pre midlife.....midlife...crisis....thing.
Amy Angel: Well what can we do to let him know that's a ridiculous concept and he needs to knock it off?
Tack Angel: Who knows. I've been thinking about it but-
Amy Angel: How about less thinking about that and more about that fact that we only have so much time before my stomach starts to swell and the preggers wife isn't going to be so frisky so make the most of your time.
Tack Angel: I don't follow.
Amy Angel: I'm saying your wife wants to heat up the bedroom.
Tack Angel: Oh, well I could get you another blanket.
Amy Angel: Tack, you're messing with me right?
Tack Angel: What do you mean honey?
Amy Angel: Tack.....sex...
Tack Angel: Yeah? What about it?
Amy Angel: Now.
Tack Angel: Oh.....OH......OOOOOOH! Yeah alright! Wait....hang on a second. Trevor? Are you out there in the dark somewhere?
Trevor Mach: ..............No?
Tack Angel: *sigh*
Amy Angel: How does he keep getting in here?

Trevor Mach: Hey Mike! There you are! I've been looking for you for a week!
Kinniku Mike: .....
Trevor Mach: Listen man, so Tali has been wearing her leather jacket for a few weeks now, and I mean she doesn't take it off....ever! MAYBE in the shower, but the door was locked so I don't know.
Kinniku Mike: .....
Trevor Mach: I gotta tell ya, it's kind of awkward/hot in the bedroom. I mean, I've heard of revving up your Harley, but this is ridiculous! AHAHAHAHA *cough cough* HAHA! So I guess I'm trying to figure out what do you think is up with that? Mike? Mike? Chocolate Bear?
Kinniku Mike: .....I've got a lot on my mind Trev.....want to get back to me later?
Trevor Mach: You alright brah?
Kinniku Mike: I was thinking of killing someone tonight.
Trevor Mach: Oh....that's nice. I do believe it's illegal, but who am I to talk you out of illegal activity right? HAHAHA!
Kinniku Mike: .....
Trevor Mach: Haaaaaa......yeah.....soooo....good luck with your killing tonight. I'm gonna go.
Kinniku Mike: ....Amigo.
After a very successful Golden Week, Xcite returns to the Xcite center for a big night of fights that will lead up to the follow up special to Golden Week simply titled EBW: The Golden. Tonight would see the debut of the brand new Bravest Division to compete with the now WAR exclusive Infinity Division. It would also see the first appearance of Nikky following his reveal as the leader of Zodiac Sagittarius...
-Opening match would get the brand new Bravest Division off the ground in impressive fashion with a 4-Way Ladder match to crown the very first champion. Subculture, Grind, Onisuiken, and Fighter Daron would be the first to get a chance at the brand new gold hanging above the ring. No rules in this match, but outside interference is strictly prohibited, so the Reality Gangsters had to watch from a monitor in the back. Great action from all men involved with varying styles that meshed well. The ladder became a very important weapon, and Subculture used it to try and clear the ring early. The hungry Reality Gangster looked to be the favorite in this match, but Grind of the former Jet Set Future duo was looking impressive with his Lucha Blades style and ability to climb a ladder while wearing roller blade. Finish came with Subbie and Grind fighting to get to the top of the ladder for the belt. Onisuiken and Daron were on either side of the ladder, with Oni leaping off a ring post to fight Subculture on one side, while Daron followed Grind up the other side. Oni was able to force a slip up for Subculture, but he pulled Oni down with him. Daron tried to slap an ankle lock onto Grind as he climbed, but despite that Grand was able to reach the belt and claim the very first reign as Bravest Division Champion. Subculture was livid and attacked the other challengers with the ladder while Grind skating around the ring celebrating with the fans. Hot start to the show and the Bravest Division. Grade: A
After the match Grind went to the back to the press area, but both he and Onisuiken found themselves on the receiving end of a beating from all three Reality Gangsters.
Subculture: This is the 1st Bravest Division Champion?! Eh?! What a joke! What fluke!
Reporter #1: Subculture! Why did you just attack Grind?
Subculture: WHY?! You ever take the bone away from a hungry street dog?! That's now how the Reality Gangsters function. That's how we operate, and how we thrive. We don't play by the rules. We do what we want to get what we want! We're hungry and we're not going to stop until we get that belt! The Bravest Division is going to belong to the Reality Gangsters!
-Next match saw Swift take on Aquarius of Zodiac. Oddly enough, no other member of Zodiac was around the ring, which was good for Swift, but terrible for a seemingly desperate Aquarius, who took a one sided beating against the angry brawler. Match ended seconds after the five minute mark with a POUNCE and a pin. Short and sweet for Swift. Grade: B+
After the match Swift stood read as Leo and Scorpio rushed down to the ring, but all they did was pick up Aquarius and drag him to the back. Strangely, Aquarius didn't look too happy to see either masked man.
-Shoot Club's Noah Jennings took on Doctor Degrees in this technical affair. Degrees has extensive medical knowledge on Noah, and used the information to target his knees which was an effective strategy, but Noah's developed the ability to hit his Stock Market Crash from any angle, and with some coaching from Daisuke Saito on the outside, the new "legitimate" Noah Jennings was able to make a comeback, using a second Stock Market Crash to secure the pin. The good Doctor continues to struggle on the active roster. Grade: B+
After the match we quickly cut to the back, where Firestarter was in the middle of a tirade at the press center.
Sal Paradise: You keep asking me QUESTIONS that I'm not going to ANSWER! Why don't you give it a rest! We're here waiting to get some camera time!
Jamie OD: Oi! I think we just got it! AHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: Good! You seeing me everybody!? You watching this Tack Angel? Trevor Mach? Hell even Swift? I hope you are, because I want to make something perfectly clear to you. You made the biggest mistakes of your careers and your very lives by challenging us in the cage. You're going to be trapped in the lion's den and you're gonna be torn APART! We don't care about the title shot, as you won't be able to defend the titles when we're through with you, they'll have to hand em to us! YOU PISSED ME OFF WHEN YOU ASSUMED YOU CAN HANG WITH US IN THAT CAGE! Really think....THINK...about the implications of your actions. We're going to hurt you. Trevor Mach, I'm personally going to cripple you. I'd say that Justice 87 would live to regret this, but I can't promise they'll make it out of the cage alive.
-Chu Chu has joined the EBW main brand, and what a way to be properly inducted then by taking on the man who narrowly beat him for the Macho Hero Grand Championship Amigo. The powerhouse rookie picked right up where he left off against the legitimate champion in an excellent encounter, but just like their last match, Chu Chu would be close to victory, but unable to cap it off. Near the end of the match Chu Chu had Amigo up for the chokeslam, but Amigo escaped and got around Chu Chu for the Sleeper Hold attempt. That's when Kinniku Mike rushed out of the entrance way and made his way straight for Amigo, going for the attack and forcing the DQ finish. Grade: N/A
After the match Mike continued his assault of Amigo, who tried crawling away up the ramp. Chu Chu looked a little upset by Mike getting involved in the match, but when Noah came out to try and make the save for Amigo, Chu Chu picked a side and fought off Noah as Mike grabbed a table and put his former friend straight through it as manager Daisuke Saito watched on. Mike's vicious streak has returned, and that means Amigo may have hell to pay.
-Main event time, as EBW World Champion Firebrand X collided with Zodiac's Scorpio in a very heated match up. The champ caught Scorpio with a dive through the ropes and a senton off the apron during the opening minutes of the match, showing the champ was taking the initiative against Zodiac. Scorpio gained control by whipping the champ into the ring steps and tossing him into the ring. Scorpio hit several hard slams on Firebrand, but the champ rolled him up for a nearfall. Scorpio immediately took down Firebrand and went for a delayed vertical suplex, but FBX escaped and nailed Scorpio with a knee strike, a suplex, and a near fall. Late in the match Firebrand was looking to drop Scorpio with the Crash Fire Buster and win the match, but the rest of Zodiac hit the stage, and that included the new Sagittarius. Firebrand took focus off of Scorpio long enough for the Zodiac member to reverse into a Scorpion Death Drop and grab the ropes to get a surprise pin on the EBW World Champion! Shocker ending with the Scorpio win. Grade: A-
After the match Zodiac hit the ring and tired to toss Firebrand out, but he fought them up the stage where members of the EBW locker room backed him up. Nikky the Sagittarius circled the ring raising his arms and basking in the boos of the fans as if they were praise. Taurus was carrying Aquarius, and on Sagittarius's request he dropped him to the mat as the other members of Zodiac attacked and ripped the mask and costume right off of Aquarius. Apparently his last loss was the last straw. Nikky grabbed a mic and teased speaking several times before finally speaking...
Nikky: So, I guess it's time we get down to brass tacks and have a discussion about our futures eh? It's time we talk about who I really am, and where we're going. I am Nikky, the man chosen by the stars to save us all. That's what I learned from the Zodiac. I learned about my true destiny to save not just EBW, and not just WAR, but everyone, and I will do that by seeing the complete victory of the Zodiac. I've known for quite some time who I am, and where I'm going to take us all, but I wanted to see what I was fighting for. I wanted to see what EBW and WAR were really all about. I now know that I am the only one who can truly save us all. A demon rules EBW with a belt that will soon belong to me. I will slay that demon, and I'll prove that at EBW: The Golden. Golden....that word holds special meaning to me, as Leo called me the Golden child, just as Sagittarius is the golden archer, so to will I be referred to as The Golden. Zodiac needs a leader and a hero just as you all do and I will be that man, but the journey to the new world requires strength and sacrifice. Aquarius couldn't keep up, and neither could the original Aries. We will become strong by rooting out the weak. Firebrand X is weak. I will defeat him. I will defeat the demon....the demon of Zodiac's past. The false Sagittarius. I will defeat him and I will become the EBW World Champion. I am Nikky...the Sagittarius.....the Golden. Welcome to the beginning of a new world!

The success of Golden Week saw EBW continue it's specials for the month leading up to our biggest pay per view of the year with EBW: The Golden. For this special we traveled back to the wrestling hotbed of Twoson for a packed show at the Fairgrounds. On this night two titles would be on the line, EBW and WAR would form a team to take on the now Nikky lead Zodiac, and Justice 87 with Swift would take on Firestarter inside a steel cage!
-Opening match saw the rising star and WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart take on the Green Greed Legend, in his biggest test to date as champion. While Troy was a brutal powerhouse, Mac has years of experience and focus and proved to be quite the opponent for Stuart. Classic text book examples of catch as catch can and boxing collided in a strategic match, with Mac going for the knockout blow and Stuart trying to keep the puncher off his feet. Of course Mac is known for his dirty tricks and tried to get a KO Punch following an illegal eye gouge, but Stuart ducked it and caught Mac in the Backslide for the 1-2-3. Strong showing by the champion, who claimed a big win today over Mac to make his 3rd Defense. Grade: A
After the match Mac offered his hand to Stuart. Stuart caught on from the last time however and pulled Mac in for a slam before Mac could deck the EC champ with his brass knuckles.
-The Infinity Division is now WAR exclusive, and the first match of this new era would see the current champion Zodiac's Hotlanta take on Infinity Gauntlet tournament winner Cherub Kid. Cherub Kid bowed to his opponent, but the young Edo kid found himself blindsided by the champ. Hotlanta overpowered Cherub during the early stages of the match and hit a nice powerslam before clotheslining him to the floor. Cherub got clever and crawled under the ring and dropkicked Hot from behind after coming out the other side. The fiery youngster was using smarts and energy against experience, but Hotlanta's affiliation with Zodiac means he's got back up in his corner, as Scorpio choked and clawed at Cherub Kid's face while Leo got on the ring apron to distract the referee. Late in the match Hotlanta was growing frustrated with his inability to put away the kid. An Aries Bellerophon Bomb was reversed into a hurracanrana, and the kid tried to capitalize with the Cherub's Flight, but Hotlanta rolled out of the way. Cherub tried to recover, but Hot lifted him for the Bomb and successfully planted Cherub into the mat for the pin and the title defense. Excellent showing for the Infinity Gauntlet winner, but Hotlanta and the Zodiac proved to be too much on this night. Grade: A-
-All eyes were on the ring for the next match as Nikky "The Golden" lead his Zodiac army to the ring for the first time to battle a combination of EBW and WAR wrestlers lead by EBW World Champion Firebrand X. Originally all the members were EBW, but WAR's acquisition of the Infinity Division caused a split that left the team on shaky ground. Jet Set Future was split and Antonio Daman, was now in WAR. The match immediately devolved into a big brawl before the referee was able to establish order. Unease on the EBW/WAR team seemed to disappear once the bell rang, with the team functioning as a unit, but the Zodiac were also in top form with a new leader coaching his troops. Nikky finally stepped in the ring with Firebrand X late in the match in an impressive back and forth and a stare down that had the crowd on their feet. Late in the match, Grind and Switchback had some miscommunications, and Switchback fell prey to a Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver while the rest of Zodiac circled the ring to attack Firebrand and his team. Nikky went for the pin and the successful 1-2-3. Zodiac looked strong and cohesive, while a slip up cost the champion's team the important win. The Sagittarius lead Zodiac is more menacing than ever. Grade: B+
-Main event time as Justice 87 were joined by Swift as their war with Firestarter continued inside of a steel cage with no rules and no limits. Crazy action from beginning to end. There brawlers weren't looking to escape this cage and not once was an attempt made. DA pushed his way past Swift and Trevor to get to Tack and targeted him throughout the match. Sal Paradise and Trevor Mach stared each other down as the crowd got pumped and they locked up in the center of the ring while Jamie OD did everything he could to avoid the POUNCE from Swift. Sal immediately targeted Trevor's broken nose and busted him open again as the two were exchanging punches and head butts. Blood was flowing early on both sides, as Mach returned the favor with knees in the clinch to bust open Sal's mouth. Late in the match Destroyer A had Tack bleeding as well and on the ropes. Tack jumped onto the ropes and delivered a high kick that nearly dropped the big man, but on another kick attempt he lifted Tack for a chokeslam. Swift swooped in with a POUNCE that took DA off his feet. Tack let loose a series of high kicks and Trevor Mach turned from his brawling with Sal to smash DA with the Macha Ye. Swift held back Sal and Jamie as Tack went high risk with the Moonsault and both he and Trevor double pinned DA to ensure the pinfall victory. Grade: A
Justice 87 captured the win, and got a measure of payback on Firestarter, but Sal and Jamie would not be stopped. DA quickly rose from the pin and forced Tack back against the cage when Trevor and Sal stared off, Swift and Jamie OD collided. Security tried to come out and break things up, but Trevor slapped the padlock on the door and goaded Sal into continuing the fight. The show ended hectically with the ring crew scrambling to find bolt cutters and the teams fighting on as the show came to a close...

Announcer: And now we an EBW News Update we take it to Nerma!
Nerma: Alright, I'm narrowing this down. I know you're not in any of the sound booths recording this, I've been checking. You've got to be in the building somewhere though. Stupid disembodied voice! Anyways, I'm Nerma and I've got the big news for you! Today EBW fired back at WAR after the acquisition of the Infinity Division. President w00t was able to sign a huge defection, bringing the popular newcomer Magnum PT from WAR to EBW! During the formal signing, the President met with unexpected company, and a match was signed as well. Roll the footage while I look for the announcer guy.
w00t: It's my honor to make this official, Magnum PT is crossing over from his short stint with WAR to make a big splash in EBW as one of our new major stars. This third generation wrestler was got heads turning already, and he more than deserves the big money contract I've signed him too. I just hope Amy Angel doesn't mind. After all....it's just...."business"....you know....like the Infinity Division thing.....I'm not angry about that.....I DON'T HOLD A GRUDGE!
Magnum PT: If drinking margaritas by the beach and driving my 86 Testarossa down the highway was all there was to life I'd be set, but a guy's gotta earn a living. Luckily, I'm not too bad as what I do here either and I kinda like entertaining the people. Things were working out at WAR, but I felt like looking into other options. I want a real challenge so I can show everyone that-
Nikky: A challenge? I find it challenging to believe that the President of EBW would make the destined hero Sagittarius wait for an audience as long as I have.
w00t: I was busy Nikky, but since you're already here what is it that you want?
Nikky: I want a lot Mr. President, but we'll start small. Zodiac won the match at against your Champion, and now that you know that we mean business it's time some concessions are made unless of course things need to get ugly.
w00t: I don't take well to threats especially from a self labeled "hero".
Nikky: A hero of my caliber makes no threats.
w00t: ....What do you want?
Nikky: Firebrand X. The EBW World Championship.
w00t: You might be undefeated, but you don't exactly have all that many matches under your belt. Besides, why would I put the Zodiac in yet another position to take our biggest prize?
Nikky: Are you afraid that your champion is a fraud? I mean, you've already seen what we can do to him. Maybe he's the one that's afraid?
w00t: I highly doubt that.
Nikky: Then let Firebrand X make the call. You let him know about my challenge would you? Tell the demon that The Golden One is coming for him. Oh, and one more thing, my men don't wish to mingle with the EBW roster on the way out to the ring, so we'll be coming up with our own entrance. It would be best if you stay out of the way.
w00t: One more thing for you Nikky. Since Leo is here I might as well let you know that he's got a title match in 2 weeks on Xcite. He'll be putting up that Eagleland Championship against Magnum PT.
Magnum PT: That's the ticket.
Nikky: ....I'll allow it.
w00t: He'll allow it. Can you believe that guy? Ry Ry, try to get Firebrand on the phone. Might as well play messenger.

Nerma: We end with a look at the next Xperience card. The now WAR exclusive Infinity Division will be on full display, as well as the promise of a returning big name to take on Little Mac. The main event will see Trevor Mach join forces with a Tack Angel lead WAR team against the full force of the Zodiac. Noticeably absent from the show is Firestarter, who lost the Cage match at EBW: The Golden. What does Firestarter have planned in retaliation for the loss? Will we hear from them?

Announcer: And now with the-
Nerma: Yeah yeah yeah! Enough with the disembodied yappity yaps! Nerma here with some bad news and some good news for EBW regarding the Zodiac! Nikky the Sagittarius is leading Zodiac's most hostile advance on EBW and WAR, and now his recruitment drive has brought him three new followers, the Valkyries.
Nerma: Zodiac stormed EBW Tower and took it over for the afternoon to introduce to the press, the fans, and even President w00t, his newest recruits. Collectively known as the Valkyries, Lady Scorpio, Lady Leo, and Lady Sagittarius as going to be the female representatives of Zodiac, and take over women's wrestling for Nikky.
Nerma: Lady M's, Heather Mach, and Little M's will be standing in their way. All three have pledged to move up from Summers to Fourside to combat this threat. M's was in no mood to chat and wore a mask during the presser, but Heather Mach said all three would be there to keep the Valkyries in check. Little M's has been hard at work training for in ring competition, and already proved her worth in a father daughter match with Trevor Mach at Machismo Office. The ladies are returning to EBW!
-
Hater: Nyah! I'm Hater, live from the EBW News Center, and we've got some crazy action happening at the XP Zone. WAR: Xperience was just about to get underway when Firestarter stormed the building and seemingly tried to abduct WAR's own Amy Angel! Destroyer A abducted her right out of her office while Jamie OD drove the supposed getaway van! Luckily, Tack Angel and Trevor Mach, Justice 87 were on the scene. As they were driving out of the parking garage Trevor Mach jumped onto the van and opened the door, tossing Amy Angel out for Tack to make the lucky catch! We take you there live!
Jamie OD: Can't blame a guy for trying! AHAHAHAHA! Don't worry DA, you'll get her next time!
Destroyer A: ......
Trevor Mach: Whoa! Hell of a catch Tack, if they were going any faster...
Tack Angel: Amy! Are you alright?!
Amy Angel: Yes, I'm fine Tack, just a little shaken up.
Tack Angel: What about the baby and-
Amy Angel: Everything is fine. The police are here now so I doubt they'll try again.
Trevor Mach: Sons of bitches! Abduction's not a new game for DA, but the rest of em? You thinking what I'm thinking?
Tack Angel: For ONCE, I think I am.
Trevor Mach: Steal the cop car and chase them down?
Tack Angel: Steal the cop car and chase them down. Officer, pardon us but we're going to-
Trevor Mach: No time for that shit Tack! Hey! Out of the way!
Policeman: Hey! You can't do that! HEY!
Hater: The Tag Team Champions have just taken a cop car, and they're chasing down Firestarter! This is just crazy NYAH! We'll try to keep you posted on this, but I don't know! Will Justice 87 make it back in time for the big main event tonight for WAR?!
WAR kicked off with a crazy abduction attempt at the hands of Firestarter, and the chase that would ensue with Justice 87, but that was just the start of a busy night on WAR: Xperience. The relaunch of the Infinity Division in its new home of WAR was kicked off with two exciting 3-Way matches. Anwin won the first encounter after waiting for Blue Lightning to hit the Troller Coaster on Bonk Boy before splashing down on both with the Static Shock Splash for the pin on Bonk. Switchback won the next match after hitting a beautiful Rolling Shooting Star Press on Ultimo Tiger. The Lucha Blades star is dead set on rising up to meet the success of the first Bravest Division Champion Grind. Troy netted himself $1000 bucks with a decisive win over Hashim Al-Singh. The Alpha Beta showed off a wider range and used a kimura to force a submission. Perhaps a new strategy for the big man?
His mentor Little Mac didn't follow up the win with one of his own though, as his mystery opponent turned out to be KYO. The demented KYO had Mac freaked out and on the ropes to the point that he escaped the ring and allowed himself to be counted out. KYO found himself on the receiving end of cheers for a change.
Mike O: Mike O here, with the man amongst men. The man who climbed the Agro Crag to success and netter himself a piece of that crag, and by crag I mean the wrestling ring, and I'm of course talking about the EBW World Championship. He's got the gold, he's got the girl, and he's got the GUTS! The world wants to know what the EBW World Champion is doing on enemy territory.
Firebrand X: My enemy is "The Golden". I have no issue with WAR, and I'm not carrying the flag of EBW today. I'm here because the Zodiac are here. I'm here because Nikky is here. They couldn't use me as their Sagittarius, so they found a new one. That's all well and good for them, but he now he wants what I have, and I'm not going to let that happen. I've been fighting against these parasites tooth and nail. I'll win this war with these two hands, and I'll do it by humiliating the golden "God" of Zodiac. You want a shot at this EBW World Championship? I don't think I have to give an answer. You know I don't have down. The voices won't let me. The demon won't let me. He hungers for your blood, and I'm going to give it to him. Nikky....Sagittarius.....you're on. Just name the time and place. I'll be there.
Main event saw a short handed team of Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart, Cherub Kid, and Dynamic Dougie take on the full force of the Zodiac Army. Nikky lead his troops in dominating fashion, while the WAR team just tried to survive in a lengthy encounter. Justice 87 tried to rush down at the last moment, but Cherub Kid ran out of desu desu and fell to the Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver before they could make a difference. Zodiac won the match, but Justice 87 helped run them out of the ring as Nikky ordered his team to finish off their opponents. After the match Nikky grabbed a mic and promised Firebrand X that he would set the time and place of his destiny by next week. In any case a match between Firebrand X and Nikky seems to be on the horizon. Can the EBW World Champion stave off the biggest threat Zodiac has ever posed on EBW and WAR?
Amy Angel: My name is Amy Angel, and before this show ends I have have an important announcement to make. This goes out to Firestarter. I have had enough of your lying, cheating, destruction, and straight up criminal actions. I was willing to let everything go, but you lost the cage match at The Golden, and that meant you were bound by certain rules that you didn't follow. You tried to abduct me! I don't know why, but I do know that in this case your actions WILL have consequences. Sal Paradise, I used to look at you as the beacon of hope for WAR. You and Tack, and maybe even Jamie could have been the pillars to hold up the foundation of our growing promotion. Now, you have forced my hand. The three members of Firestarter no longer have a home at WAR. Gentlemen, you are fired....

Nerma: Welcome to the return of Aftermath, where we discuss the crazy week in EBW and in WAR. We're joined today by the return of Retro Hippie, who is finally coming back after an attack by Firestarter put him on the shelf. Welcome back Hippie. I think I almost missed you....for a minute.
Retro Hippie: Really?
Nerma: No, not really.
Retro Hippie: Awwww.
Nerma: Enough about that. I bet you're just glad to be back.
Retro Hippie: I feel a lot safer now that Firestarter have been fired. I had those guys pegged wrong. I thought they would be perfect for the revolution, but all they wanted was destruction.
Nerma: You can say that again, but please don't. Anyways, now that you're back we can talk about the ratings. Let's look at the last week by the numbers!
----------
-Weekly Ratings-
EBW: Xcite - 4.5
WAR: Xperience - 4.3
----------
Nerma: Both shows hit a post Golden Week slump to be sure, but those are still ratings to be proud of.
Retro Hippie: WAR should be higher. We were better off when EBW was the prime target. Our numbers were going up and people were jumping on board the new home for heroes! The Zodiac and Firestarter have messed everything up.
Nerma: I will agree that both factions have created quite a bit of anarchy around here, more so than we're used to.
Retro Hippie: Well like I said before, I just feel safer knowing that Firestarter isn't around anymore.
Nerma: I wouldn't get too comfortable.
Retro Hippie: What do you mean?
Nerma: We have some footage that you might not want to see. As everyone knows, EBW's own Trevor Mach celebrated his big 30th Birthday!
Retro Hippie: Don't remind me! The old man didn't even invite me!
Nerma: Why would he?
Retro Hippie: I dunno......would have been the nice thing to do....everyone loves cake....except like Tack Angel.
Nerma: I see. Well the party itself....let's just say it's too early in the day to show you the footage of that. We do however have one very important clip we need to show you. Let's roll the footage.
Trevor Mach: Has anyone seen my pants?! Damn, if I had a nickle for every time that-
Sal Paradise: Look at you....pathetic.
Trevor Mach: Oh hey Sal, I don't recall inviting you here, but when the hell did I actually send out invites right? By the way, how are you guys in Firestarter holding up? Maybe I should call you "Firedstarter"?! Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk!
Sal Paradise: Go ahead and make jokes. That's all you are, one big overrated, and overused joke. Look at you. You're no spring chicken anymore as they say. You need to do everyone a favor.....roll over and die. Let's end the joke.
Trevor Mach: Love to see you try Sal. Problem with a bad joke, is that you can never quite get rid of it. No matter how old and cheesy, that bad joke will stick around. That's why I'll just keep on kicking. Besides, it's only 30.
Sal Paradise: You sound like you're trying to convince yourself of that.
Trevor Mach: ......*cough* What's your point Sal? Why are you even here? You accepted the challenge and you broke the rules.
Sal Paradise: Do I LOOK like a give a shit about the rules? You think you put a stop to us? You think we're done? We're just getting started. We don't have to be employees to show up. That's your fault by the way. Your open door policy you call "Wild Style". I just wanted you to know that all you did was make things worse. Cause now that the money flow has stopped, we've got nothing to lose. Oh one more thing....Happy fucking Birthday.
Trevor Mach: We are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are. One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Sal Paradise: What?
Trevor Mach: Tennyson. Some bastard gave me a book for my birthday and I needed something to read on the can. I'm not sure what it really means, but it stuck with me. I THINK it means that yeah, I may be getting older, but the old dog still has bark and still has bite. So yeah Sal, bring me your worst cause I know you're going to. Right now though, I have a party to attend. Happy fucking Birthday indeed.
Sal Paradise: Heh....my worst? Keep in mind you said it, not me.
---------
Retro Hippie: Oh shit! He's not leaving?! I'm out of here!
Nerma: Hippie? Hippie where are you going? Hippie!

Earlier Today...
Sal Paradise: No security at the door? You'd figure the "hallowed halls" of the Xcite Center would be considered too good for me to step into. Then again, they seem to let anyone in here....isn't that right..."Tali Mach".
Lady M's: .....
Sal Paradise: Fine don't talk. I don't want to hear it anyways. I know you get flustered around me anyways. That's why you're wearing such a "scary" mask. Hide the fact that you're blushing right now right?
Lady M's: What? I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention on account of your boring the hell out of me.
Sal Paradise: Heh. You heard me. Why don't I take that mask off right now and-
Lady M's: Didn't realize you had a death wish.
Sal Paradise: Oh Tali Tali Tali, you think you intimidate me? I've got nothing to lose. I'm not longer employed here anymore. I can do whatever I want.....to whoever I want.
Lady M's: You can try.
Sal Paradise: I'm not here to sweep you off your feet or make you swoon Tali. I'm here to deliver a message to one Trevor Mach. Perhaps you can deliver it for me if you're not too busy sulking in that dark corner! You see, I've come to realize something and I actually wanted to thank Trevor for it. Thanks to him, I've come to see the wrestling business for what it really is, and what it has made the both of us. We're like rats on a tropical island. At first life is good. We gorge ourselves on success and bask in the spotlight that is the sun. But as time goes along you find that the fruits of your labor come in smaller ammounts. The rats begin to get hungry, and they turn on each other, till only a few are left. You would figure that since the number is smaller the problem is solved, but you see it's not, cause now our very nature is changed. Now we're always hunting each other. Rats playing a deadly game till only one is left. I'm a rat, I'm a hungry vicious rat and so is Trevor Mach. We might go about it different ways, but I assure you he's just as twisted as I am. We're hunting each other now. We're the only two left in fact. The two rats whose very nature was changed by the bitch that is professional wrestling. I'm coming for him, and everything that he holds dear. I know you probably don't care so much, since I know you can't take your eyes off of me, but in the process, I might just hurt something that you DO care about. So you tell him that I'm coming for him. You tell him that he can make all the puns he wants, but Firestarter is far from through. Tell him for me will ya?
Lady M's: .....You should leave...unless you need me to help you with that.
Sal Paradise: Oh I'm sure you'd love that, but not right now. I know my way out.
Xcite was live before a packed house, on a night that would see the EBW Tag Team Championships on the line, as well as a face off between the ladies of Earthbound and Zodiac's Valkyries. All of this leading up to a showdown between Nikky and Firebrand X, where the groundwork will be laid for the upcoming EBW World Championship battle.
The opening two contest featured the Bravest Division in full effect. A No Rules division for the high fliers and lighter weighted fighters on full display. The Reality Gangsters showcased their dominance in the early stages of this new division, with the Yanki DZ beating Onisuiken following a Spinning Headlock Elbow Drop and Subculture beat Fighter Daron in a hard fought match with the Counterculture. After the matches the Reality Gangster took to the back...
Subculture: YOU SEE THAT! You see what we can do! We come from the streets, where you have to fight to survive, but we're not just going to survive, we're going to thrive! Yeah, I see you over there Grind, so called Bravest Division Champion. Look at that belt, then look at me, cause I'm the guy that's gonna take it from you. Me...or DZ....or Ditch! We're all hungry streets dogs, and we want what you've got, and we're going to take it. This session is over. Get that camera out of our faces!
The ladies of EBW returned from Sparkle in Summers to fight off the Valkyries of Zodiac, and this 6-Woman Tag served as the first shot in the fight. Great match all around with the ladies of Zodiac fighting a very similar style to their male counterparts. Lady M's almost won the match with her Smash Mouth Justice, but Little M's tagged herself in to try and make the team proud. She was going for the ankle lock, when Lady Sagittarius clocked her from ringside and she backed into a Scorpion Death Drop and a pin by Lady Scorpio. A rookie decision cost EBW's team the first match against the Valkyrie's, but the fight is just getting started, with M's and Lady Leo taking the fight to Machismo Office next.
A livid Kinniku Mike took on "The Golden" Nikky Sagittarius in the biggest test for the young leader of Zodiac. Mike is still showing a bad attitude from his fights with Amigo, so his anger mixed with involvement from Scorpio and Leo lead to Nikky getting to show off his impressive strength by hitting the Golden Arrow and getting the pin. Mike was pissed after the match and followed Leo and Scorpio where he put the beating on them in front of the press.
Kinniku Mike: Dammit! You bastards want to get into Big Mike's business you better bring an army! Uuuuu! That Nikky kid got lucky plain and simple. You're not going to get it easy from Kinniku Mike anymore! Apparently it's not enough to be strong, be controversial, and have the mightiest tits in EBW. You gotta be looking over your shoulder every second of everyday!
Amigo: Mike's learning, I'm impressed. Maybe in about 10 years you might almost be on my level.
Kinniku Mike: Shut it Amigo, you don't want to be here right now! Your back still killing you?
Amigo: Hardly. Being a legitimate athlete such as myself, I'm trained to recover quickly and work through the pain. You did nothing to stop the Shoot Club from becoming the next EBW Tag Team Champions. I've got to go, I just came here to laugh at you some more and-
Kinniku Mike: Amigo! Rememeber what I said. Around here, you've got to be looking over your shoulder at all times. That goes double for you little man. WHERE MY BITCHES IS AT!
Amigo: Pft! What a big buffoon. Time to add more gold to my collection at Trevor Mach's expense.
The main event saw Justice 87 take on Shoot Club with the EBW Tag Team Championships on the line. Excellent and drawn out match, with the new Shoot Rules of Machismo Office mixed in to make it particularly hard hitting. Amigo and Noah continue to preach a new "legitimate" style, but when Tack had Amigo on the ropes the manager of Shoot Club Daisuke Saito actually tried to slip Noah a pair of brass knuckles. As the crowd called him out on his hypocrisy, Kinniku Mike rushed down and chased Saito away from the ring. Mach blasted Noah Jennings with a Macha Ye to keep him out of the ring as a distracted Amigo fell prey to the Angel Driver and took the 1-2-3. Justice 87 retained in their 3rd Defense, and Kinniku Mike kept Shoot Club honest to the dismay of his rival Amigo.
After the match Nikky "The Golden" returned to the ring on his own to call out the EBW World Champion Firebrand X.
Nikky: Behold, it is I, "The Golden"! I am the chosen one EBW. I've got just about everything I need to fulfill my destiny. I've got my army. I've got my loyal valkyries. I've got the skils, the tools, the talent, and the charisma. I make it rain! I'm covered head to toe in gold. I just need one more piece of gold to make it all complete. The EBW World Championship. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now that I've got the match, I the destined Sagittarius will indeed wrestling Firebrand X at-
Firebrand X: Hold it! Hold it right there Sagittarius. I heard a long winded speech coming, and I do not have time to hear the inane blabberings of a parasite such as yourself.
Nikky: Well well well, my predecessor has arrived. I'm guessing your curious as to the time and place of our fated battle?
Firebrand X: Not quite Nikky. See, the whole point of me abandoning the useless entity known as Zodiac, is becuase I'm not going to be a slave to fate. Fate is what you make of it, and I'm going to make my own fate with my own two hands, and shut you and Zodiac down for good. In the process, I'm also keeping an important promise I made to a man whom I can actually consider my equal. See Nikky, you waited too long, and if you want a match with me it's going to be on my terms. You get the title match, but the date and location is of my choosing. We're doing this in the biggest way possible. We're doing this at the biggest show possible. The only place a match of this magnitude will have its true meaning.....Victory Explosion VII!
Nikky: Ha! What luck! We are of the same mind on this Firebrand X. The Saturn Dome is the fitting place to witness my accension and begin the rise of my Kingdom! The match is o-
Firebrand X: Not so fast. The match will be the main event of the biggest show of the year, but the match isn't what you're expecting. I will be putting the title on the line, and you will be in the match, but you won't be alone. See, someone else is owed a title match, and I'll see to it that he gets what he's owed. So you see, the match at Victory Explosion VII will be a 3-way match, between you....me.....and Camilo Ortega!
Nikky: WHAT?! NO!
Firebrand X: At Victory Explosion VII, your time is up. That clock starts ticking....right now.

Announcer: And now with another EBW News Update, let's take it to Nerma!
Nerma: I'm on to you disembodied announcer voice.....I'm on to you. So Nerma here, and boy do we some interesting developments for you! The countdown to Victory Explosion VII has begun, with the announcement that Firebrand X will be putting his EBW World Championship on the line against both Nikky "The Golden" and the returning former champion Camilo Ortega. Ortega was one of the most dominant title reigns in EBW history, and Nikky hasn't been made the leader of Zodiac for no reason. This exciting match can only be seen during our biggest show of the year, Victory Explosion VII in the Saturn Dome! We still have a ways to go to get there however, and the road is going to be paved with some big matches that could shape the card for that show. Take for example the next installment of WAR. A title match...of sorts, has been made due to a challenge thrown down by Zodiac to one Tack Angel. A complicated matter just gets worse. Let's roll the footage...
Leo: It's a very simple question Angel! Are you or are you not the Mars Champion!
Tack Angel: What?! No! Well....maybe kinda sorta? I have the physical belt in my possession, but I never really won-
Leo: So you're the Mars Champion then?
Tack Angel: ....It's really kind of hard to say and-
Taurus: LET ME GORE THIS GUY LEO! HIS CONSTANT UNCERTANTY IS PISSING ME OFF!
Tack Angel: Constant uncertanty? Well I'm QUITE certain.....that you're being rude right now.
Swift: Don't listen to Tack! He's totally the Mars Champion! He really got one over on me on Mars didn't you Tack!? *wink*
Tack Angel: What? What are you talking about? What's wrong with your eye Swift? You got a twitch going.
Swift: ....You're a dammed oblivious fool Tack! >:C
Tack Angel: *sigh* I get that sometimes. Wait, what are you doing here?
Swift: I go where I want! Now as I was saying, Tack Angel IS the Mars Champion! You should've seen that match. Fucker was pissed at me cause I owed him 20 bucks, and he took it out of my ass! Right Tack?!
Tack Angel: YOU DON'T OWE ME 20 DOLLARS!
Swift: Not anymore I don't! Not after I "did the job" on Mars! Now we're even! >:C
Tack Angel: What job?! I've never even been to Mars!
Leo: Look, you've got the title and possession is 9/10ths of the law. Problem for you is that Zodiac wishes to have possession of Mars' coveted prize.
Amy Angel: Must be a Greek Pantheon thing. Look, the Mars Championship real or not isn't technically a sanctioned title that we-
Swift: HA! Tack'll take you on won't you?
Tack Angel: I will?
Swift: He will! He ain't afraid of your shady mask wearing asses.
Tack Angel: But I JUST had a title defense on Xcite!
Swift: No need to brag Tack! We all know you got titles. Some of us wish we got titles, but we know you got titles. >:C
Tack Angel: No, that's not what I-
Swift: Tack accepts the match.
Leo: Excellent. Taurus will be more than happy to take that belt from you on your next Xperience show.
Swift: In a Tables Match.
Leo: Eh?
Amy Angel: Eh?
Tack Angel: EH?!
Swift: Don't worry Tack, I got your back on this. Tack will put the belt on the line in a Tables Match. Pinning that big guy would be just too easy for Tack! Not only is he going to fight you in a Tables Match, but he's going to use this table right here. The unbreakable Table-san straight from Edo!
Tack Angel: Tables Match? Unbreakable Table-san? Swift, please stop helping!
Leo: Ha! You've sealed your own doom Tack Angel. Let's go Taurus.
Taurus: YOUR ASS IS MINE!
Tack Angel: I didn't seal anything! I like my ass where it is! Swift!
Swift: ....I'm hungry....want to get a sandwich.
Tack Angel: No....we like just had one 20 minutes ago!
Swift: I'm going to go get another sandwich.
Tack Angel: Swift? *sigh* .....So I got a Tables Match then. Great.
----------
Nerma: So yeah, the Mars Championship will be on the line against Taurus in Tables Match that will see the debut of the unbreakable Edo Table "Table-san". No, I promise I'm not pranking you or smoking anything. Speaking of debuts, we're going to be seeing a new debut in our officials branch this week with a new referee Harvey Refman! He's a middle aged referee that has traveled the world....being a referee....doing referee stuff....officiating...things.
Nerma: Harvey Refman has arrived at the perfect time, as the Nerd trio is reforming on the WAR side of things. That would have left us with a large gap, but Harvey has arrived just in time to join referee Mo. Harvey is known for his fair approach to the calling matches and his signature "I'LL REF THE MATCH!" catchphrase. Welcome to the team Harvey! We end this update with the final card for this week's WAR: Xperience. Stay tuned for another installment of Machismo Office! Only on the EBW Network!

Machismo Office returned for Battle V in the Bonk! Energy Sports Arena. The nonsense home of Shoot Rules would play host to more Mastery Medal Battles, a Women's Shoot Rules encounter, and the Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo taking on the legendary Kazushi Sasaki.
Opening bout saw Lady M's put on the gloves against Lady Leo as part of the start of a war between the ladies of EBW and the Valkyries of Zodiac. Leo showed her skills in the wrestling ring, but M's had the advantage in shoot rules and landed a Rolling Elbow square on the jaw that knocked Lady Leo out, giving M's a dominant victory. Scorpio and Simon Stuart both fought for the chance to get a second Mastery Medal in a much longer outing. The WAR Euro-Continental Champion had the support of the crowd, but a well positioned Scorpion Death Drop kept Stu from using his final rope break and resulted in the pin. Trevor Mach faced off against patriotic and mustacheod mentor Jon Frye in the next Mastery Medal Battle. Top notch competition that saw Mach debut a new finisher, whe he pulled Frye in by the arm to clobber him with a rising knee called the Mach Shoot, to get the KO victory and his final Mastery Medal.
The Macho Hero Grand Champion ended the night victoriously, but in controversial fashion. The normally brutal master of the "legitimate arts" was reserved and kept back to pepper the veteran Sasaki, a tactic he employed against Chu Chu in a previous title bout. This tactic paid off as Sasaki got impatient and found himself in trouble on occasions. The time limit was reached without a winner so the judge's had to give it to Amigo by split decision. After the match Trevor Mach came out to let Amigo know that by earning his third Mastery Medal, he would be challenging him next week on Machismo Office.

Announcer: Time for-
Nerma: Hey! No! You're driving me crazy with this "Time for another installment" blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda! WHO ARE YOU?!
Hater: NYAH! Forgive us, Nerma has just gone a little crazy...these things happen from time to time. We had some big happenings in EBW today, so let's check em out. We'll start with a big brush up that happened between Justice 87 and Firestarter today at of all places a movie theater.
Hater: This happened during the big premiere of Bad Dudes III. It was a big red carpet event that was crashed by Sal Paradise, Jamie OD, and Destroyer A. Luckily the Mach and Angel families did not get caught in the cross fire and security eventually broke up the scuffle. I HATE when people talk during a movie, but this is ridiculous. Oh, and I heard that Bad Dudes III is pretty damn good. It will come out in theaters nationwide very soon.
Nerma: I'm alright now Hater, I'll take back over. That's not all we got from today, as the official signing for the Victory Explosion VII main event was set to take place. Both champion Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega showed up to fill out the contract. Both were very quiet and somber. Firebrand only nodded in acknowledgement to Camilo Ortega, who for once didn't have a saying from his Grandmother to quote during a big event. The press tried to get a word with him, but the man who walks the path of Heaven hasn't said a word since going out with an injury at the beginning of the year. Noticeably absent from the proceedings was Nikky. The Zodiac leader didn't show up to sign the contract, but he did send in this tape. Let's check it out.
Nikky: Sorry, I could be there today, but "The Golden" works on his time, and will sign a contract on his time. I'm not sure just how happy I am to see the former Champion added into the fold. I am a better man than either of them, and I will be a better champion. Camilo Ortega fancies himself the ruler of everything, but look at me, you're looking at the true King. I am your King. I am your Champion. I am Sagittarius. I am "The Golden".
----------
Nerma: That about wraps it up for right now, but we have one little odd video clip to close out on. Let's take a look.
Tack Angel: *whistling* Oh hey Swift! Hey Rishin Fliger! How are the Board of Directors doing these days?
Swift: There he is. >:C
Tack Angel: Huh? Were you looking for me Swift?
Swift: If he's going to be in a Flaming Table Match for the Mars Championship, he's gonna need to be ready.
Tack Angel: Wait what? Flaming Table? I thought it was just-
Swift: Now Fliger!
Rishin Fliger: GIMMICK BEAM!
*POOF!*
Tack Angel: Huh? Wha? AW WHAT THE HELL SWIFT!
Swift: Huh? Who said that? Where did Tack go? I can't see him. Ha! Let's go Fliger.
Tack Angel: *sigh* Dammit.
-
Nerma: This is an EBW Network News update, and I'm filling in for the Announcer on account of the fact that I DON'T NEED HIM LORDING OVER ME! Anyways, we're on the way to Xperience, but first we got some news about big signings. Both EBW and WAR are bringing in new blood....or maybe old blood? It's a little complicated. Let's check it out.
Nerma: Amy Angel has brought back Akinan, who left EBW to pursue his career overseas in Edo. The big man was on his way up in the company back then, but now he's even more seasoned and focused. The sky is the limit for Akinan, and WAR has gotten themselves another big hire.
Nerma: On the flip side of things, Trevor Mach has introduced a "new" wrestler going by the name of BOOSHI. This Shoot Rules styled competitor will be competing in EBW and Machismo Office. I say "new" with the obvious air quotes, because he seems very familiar to older EBW fans.
Trevor Mach: Check this out guys! This is BOOSHI! He's new, he's tough, he's Booshtastic, and he's going to tear up EBW and -
Tack Angel: That's Danny.
Trevor Mach: Eh?
Tack Angel: That's totally Danny Leung.
Trevor Mach: What? Why would you say that?
Tack Angel: I have eyes.....and he sounds like Hater....and Ryan IQ.
BOOSHI: I DO NOT! I mean....Danny Leung does not! I don't know who this Danny fellow is, but he sounds like quite the competitor. I hope that one day I can match up to his technical prowess, and suave fashion sense.
Tack Angel: If you don't know Danny Leung, how do you know if he does or doesn't sound like Hater and Ryan IQ?
BOOSHI: Don't worry about it! All you need to know is that I'm gonna be starting somethin' in EBW! YEEEEEEOW!
Tack Angel: Whatever you say...."BOOSHI".
BOOSHI: YEEEEEEOW!
Trevor Mach: HAHA! That's what I like to-
Swift: NOW! >:C
Trevor Mach: Huh?
*POOF!*
Trevor Mach: ......WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
Tack Angel: Oh my! Looks like they got you too. That sucks man. Looks like you're stuck like me.
Trevor Mach: Oh hell no! I hung up my wizard hat years ago! This ain't no flashback tour! I'm taking this off right now!
Tack Angel: Wait. You mean that you can just take off the costume? Even if it came from the Rishin Fliger Gimmick Beam?
Trevor Mach: Well yeah look, I'm taking it off right......I'm taking it off in the back....cause the beam stole my clothes.....son of a bitch!
Tack Angel: You mean....I can just take off the costume? I can take off the gimmick? Well then.....I'll take that under consideration, but ultimately decline despite my best wishes as that would be rude......*sigh*
-
Retro Hippie: Retro Hippie here, the voice of the Revolution, and I'm here with *gulp* ....the Zodiac. Guys....please don't hurt me. I'm frail, I'm weak, I eat nothing but wheat grass and tofu!
Nikky: Relax little Hippie man, we mean you know harm. In the new order we'll need people like you.
Retro Hippie: Really? Oh....well...thank you! So, what brings you to WAR tonight!
Nikky: A King needs to support his knights, and the Zodiac are heading into battle tonight. I will soon meet my destiny and make it rain from the heavens, and I stand here now to show you all that I'm unafraid of your pillars of EBW. Firebrand X is beneath me, and unable to carry the burden of being Sagittarius. Camilo Ortega, you claim that you will be the ruler over all. You claim that you are justice, but you see I am King! As King, I shall decree my judgement...Death. Now if you'll excuse me, we have someplace we have to be.
The thing that's like a road, but not really a road but more of a symbolic path to the date when a big show is happening, and that big show is called Victory Explosion VII, but I refuse to call it a road cause it's done elsewhere and it's retarded begins! The main event is already set, but plenty of time is left for everyone else to prove they deserve to be on the card, and tonight might help shape up how that show is going to go down. With Zodiac in full force the locker room was on full alert, and the wrestlers were...uh...worried...maybe....that Zodiac might grab the Mars Championship?
The night kicked off with a big 4-Way Infinity Division match to see who will face Hotlanta of Zodiac next. It was a big action match that the fans enjoyed with a surprising finish. Cherub Kid had just landed the Cherub's Flight on Randy no Kachi, but Anwin swooped in with a Static Shock Splash on both of them when Cherub tried to pin and snatched the win away by tagging his own tag partner. Anwin's cunning earns him a shot at the champ. Speaking of the champ, Hotlanta and Bolshoi had another classic bout between two old rivals. I say rivals, but Bolshoi played it up like usual with his mix of antics and high flying fun. Looking to put on a show more than beat down Hotlanta proved to be the downfall, as he fell prey to the Aries Bellerophon Bomb and the pin.
Tack Angel: Hey Amy, I'm all set for the.....Amy?
Amy Angel: Oh....hi Tack. I'm sorry I was just-
Tack Angel: Crying? Are you alright?
Amy Angel: Dammit, no one's supposed to see me like this.
Tack Angel: What's wrong.
Amy Angel: I'm just....worried.....about a lot of things. Feeling a lot of pressure with WAR, and then their is the Zodiac, and more importantly we have a child on the way and-
Tack Angel: You're worried about DA.
Amy Angel: .....Yeah....he's rather persistent isn't he?
Tack Angel: Why is he doing this?
Amy Angel: I don't know. We have a past together, but not like what it sounds like. We were more than just business partners. He was....my friend. See, DA was apart of this group called Fenrir along with Trevor Mach, but when that organization disbanded he was brought into the Stuart Family business. I wasn't close to the family as I've said before, but I was still protected, and DA was my bodyguard. He protected me for a long time before I disappeared to plan my move in EBW following the death of my father. I relied on him so much that I found him again to help me here, but he took things so far and hurt so many people. I tried to put on a straight face about it, but I couldn't bear to think of the price that was paid to get us where we are. I blame myself, but-
Tack Angel: You couldn't possibly have known just how far DA would take this.
Amy Angel: I...I just don't know. Now we're finally getting somewhere though. WAR is supposed to be the new home for heroes, and yet DA still has unfinished business and I don't think he's going to stop until he gets what he wants. I'm.....I'm scared Tack.
Tack Angel: I know Amy, but I won't let him hurt you, or the baby. If DA wants a fight he'll have to go through me, and he like....can't see me....or whatever. I don't get it either.
Amy Angel: Hehehe.
Tack Angel: Heh.
Cherub Kid: Konichiwa desu desu!
Tack Angel: Cherub Kid I- LOOK OUT!
Jamie OD: COMING THROUGH! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! This little punk kid's been a pain in my ass AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tack Angel: What do you want Jamie?!
Jamie OD: Just to give you two "lovebirds" a message. Destroyer A wants you and he's going to get you. You can't stop him! No one can! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tack Angel: .....
Back to the action as the big bad Alpha Beta Troy tried to defend Little Mac's loss to the recently returning KYO, but even equipped with a new submission hold this wasn't going to be a technical match by any stretch. The two could barely keep it in the ring five minutes before they spilled out to the floor. The demented KYO nearly took Troy's head off with the ring bell and vice versa he narrowly dodged and chair whipped at him like a frisbee. The referee ended up hitting the double count out and neither man won the match or took home the win/loss purse. The brawl continued after the match with security having to break it up.
WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart and Dynamic Dougie took on Eagleland Champion Leo and Scorpio in tag action, and it was a pretty good back and forth until Sal Paradise and Jamie OD of Firestarter rushed the ring from the crowd and battered Simon and Dougie. Leo and Scorpio didn't seem to mind and backed away to let Firestarter do the damage, even if it resulted in a DQ. After the match Sal and Jamie grabbed microphones.
Jamie OD: Oi! A Stuart and a Mach at the same time! Two birds with one stone! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: You see how easy it is for us. We can show up whenever we feel like it, stop any match we want, and hurt anyone we want. This is far from over, and I promise that we'll get what we want by the time all is said and done. Tack Angel and Trevor Mach, you guys better keep at least one eye open at all times cause you're gonna start losing family members to the INTENSIVE CARE UNIT! We're out of here.
The main event saw Tack Angel "defend" the "Mars Championship" against Taurus in a Tables Match, where the only table was the supposedly unbreakable Table-San from Edo. Yeah, this match was as weird as it gets. Taurus controlled the pace of the match, but in typical Tack fashion, he was able to come from behind and put Taurus down with an Angel Driver on Table-San. I say on and not through because the table indeed refused to break. It then managed to leave the ring on it's own volition confusing Tack Angel and just about everyone else. Technically a win and a "defense" for Tack Angel. What the hell just happened?
The comical nature of the main event quickly shifted, as Amy Angel came out to congratulate Tack, but with DA slowly following up behind. Tack quickly rushed to the steps and stood in between the two, DA ALMOST getting what he wanted. Tack Angel will indeed have to keep a constant watch, as the Destroyer is always on the hunt for Amy Angel...

Announcer: We end this update with another video sent in from one Sal Paradise. The Firestarter and former employee of EBW and WAR continues to have words for the Mach and Angel families...
Sal Paradise: I'm going to have to be the one to say it aren't I? Tali Mach, she wants me. You can just tell she wants me. She's the kind of girl that was looking to hook up with a rebel and she got a punk. A family man wannabe. She's the kind of girl that likes the grim, and gritty, and grim dark and she ended up with a clown. She wants to drop that zero and take a trip to Paradise, and I don't blame her. You might act out like all bad girls do, but that's just cause you don't understand your feelings. Tali Mach...Lady M's is in love with me. Deeply and passionately, but she doesn't understand how to handle these feelings. This animal lust that she has for me. Tali, I know a good divorce lawyer, but why wait for that? I don't care. You need a real man, and Little M's.....needs a good "role model" heh. I'll be seeing you around M's. Try not to get too worked up over it.

A new week brings us closer to Victory Explosion VII, and one step closer to a one of a kind EBW World Championship title bout. The stage is continuing to be set for the biggest show of the year in Saturn City.
The show opened with Tag Team Champion Trevor Mach of Justice 87 taking on Shoot Club member Noah Jennings in the start of a solid opener. Shoot Rules styled match to set up Trevor's title shot against Amigo this week was interrupted by Jamie OD who appeared on the tron.
Jamie OD: AHAHAHAHA! Trevor Mach! I'm feeling a bit...I don't know....NOSTALGIC right now! It has been a year since our little Victory Explosion VI battle and I STILL want to kick your teeth down your throat! AHAHAHAHAHA! Why don't we have ourselves a trip down memory lane, but not in the ring. Oi! Let's take it outside WILDSTYLE as you would put it! I'm outside....right now....come and get me Mach. AHAHAHAHAHA!
Trevor wasted no time in leaving the ring and rushing to the back, as the referee counted him out, giving Noah Jennings the victory.
The brand new Bravest Division lit up the ring next with solid 6-man action. The rules of the Division meant all 6 men were in the ring at once, making it hard to follow at times, but very exciting. The Reality Gangsters continue to show dominance, with Subbie getting the pin on Fighter Daron following the Counterculture. A rematch for the Bravest Division Championship is the demand of Subculture, and it looks like Grind is happy to oblige him. A huge upset came with the Xcite debut of Magnum PT against Leo. A lot of pressure for PT with the Eagleland Championship on the line, but the mustacheod third generation star proved he was worth the investment by taking it to the 2nd in command of Zodiac. Even with interference from the Valkyries, Magnum PT was able to avoid and dirty tricks or Lion based offense to surprisingly hit the Mustache Ride and get the pin. The newcomer won the Eagleland Championship in his first match for EBW, and at the same time brought the title back from the clutches of Zodiac.
Amigo's got a title match coming up this week, and will be going into it strong, after showing Doctor Degrees first hand what unconsciousness feels like with a sleeper that took him out in just over a minute.
Amigo: Don't talk just listen. I didn't come here to talk. I didn't come here to give the people a good show. I didn't come here to talk about Kinniku Mike. I came here to fight legitimately, and you can claim all you want that we tried to cheat last week in our title match against Justice 87, but it DIDN'T HAPPEN! Just like it won't happen this week at Machismo Office. Only the outcome will be different this time. The outcome will see me defending my championship and proving once again why compared to the rest of these clowns, I'm the real deal.
Little M's is still learning the ropes, but the hearing impaired daughter of the Mach's looked strong against Lady Scorpio in Women's Singles action. The youngster showed evolving skills and a hungry spirit, she was unprepared for the dirty tricks of Zodiac and fell following a Scorpion Death Drop. After the match the cameras quickly cut to the back as Trevor Mach and Jamie OD were locked in the middle of their street fight.
w00t and Ryan IQ sent the Red Shirts to keep the brawl contained, and even "newcomer" BOOSHI tried to control the chaos. Lady M's watched on, but so did Sal Paradise, who tried to make a pass at her before taking his beer bottle and busting it over Mach's head, perfectly legal in Wildstyle matches. This set up Jamie with the opportunity to hit the Penalty Kick and lay out Mach for the pin. A tough night for the Mach family thanks to Firestarter.
Hater: Nyah! Camilo! Can we get a word with you? You've been silent since you announced as being apart of the VE VII main event. Will you comment on it?
Camilo Ortega: ....My Grandmother would have a saying for this, and I do have a lot to say, but right now and until Victory Explosion VII we'll let actions speak louder than words.
Main event saw EBW World Champion Firebrand X lead Swift and Kinniku Mike into a war with Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius, Scopio, and Taurus. Fantastic wild action brawl that nearly lead to the first confrontation between Firebrand and Nikky, until Hotlanta and Leo rushed the ring to assist in a beating on Firebrand's team, causing a DQ. Zodiac were just looking to hurt the champ before the big match, but Camilo Ortega rushed the ring and made the save for the EBW team, forcing Nikky out of the ring. Firebrand and Camilo stared off, but both of them also turned to Nikky. In a 3-Way match, you can never get to close to one opponent. You can't trust anyone, loyalty to brand or not. It's all about the EBW World Championship.

Machismo Office returned for a sixth time with a stacked card and a big main event for the Macho Hero Grand Championship. A night full of Shoot Rules and a bout to determine who will get that third Mastery Medal and be next in line for the Grand Championship!
The Macho Masks took on the duo Neckbeard and Skinhead in the opener. The Henchmen almost finally got a Machismo Office win, but Macho Mask #1 caught Skinhead in a Kneebar to force a Submission and a win. WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart battled Scorpio in a fantastic and hard hitting competition. Without Zodiac interference, Stuart had a fair shake, and the young champ managed to surprise Scorpio with a Backslide to nap a huge win and claim his third Mastery Medal. Simon Stuart will get the next shot against the Macho Hero Grand Champion. BOOSHI made his "debut" in the ring against Noah Jennings of the Shoot Club. Strong match up, with BOOSHI looking like a ring veteran, but that's probably cause he is as he's not fooling anybody with that mask. BOOSHI managed to get the win after countering the Stock Market Drop into the Landslide and hit the Crucifix Armbar to get the Submission. More Shoot Rules followed, with the ladies going head to head. Heather Mach showed Lady Leo the Mach Family roughness by knocking her out with a Macha Ye to score the win.
The main event saw a lengthy and solid title bout between champion Amigo and challenger Trevor Mach. Tough shoot style attacks back and forth, with Trevor going for the KO with a Mach Shoot, but Amigo survived the blow and and countered with his various submissions to no avail. Interference isn't allowed in Machismo Office, but an altercation in the stands with Sal Paradise sitting near Lady M's and Little M's distracted Mach long enough for Amigo to catch him in the Sleeper Hold. Mach couldn't reach the ropes and ended up being choked out by the Macho Hero Grand Champion. A successful defense by Amigo, but the celebration wouldn't last long, as Simon Stuart made it clear that he would be challenging for the title next week at Machismo Office VII...

Retro Hippie: Hey! What are THEY doing here?
Amy Angel: That's a good question. Firebrand X....Camilo Ortega....is there something I can do for you two?
Firebrand X: Yeah....you can get out of my way.
Amy Angel: This is my show gentlemen, I have no problem letting you if-
Firebrand X: Zodiac.
Amy Angel: ......Alright, in you go then.
Retro Hippie: What? You're letting them in? EBW guys just seem to be able to come and go these days!
Amy Angel: We all have pressing matters to death with right now. I for one have an overbearing monster following my every move, while I'm starting to get weird cravings for peanut butter and pickle ice cream! If they want to put the pressure on Nikky Sagittarius, I'm not going to stop them. Besides, the issues between EBW and WAR are going to be handled in another way.
Retro Hippie: What do you mean?
Amy Angel: Let's talk away from cameras follow me.
The XP Zone was not just packed with fans, but all sorts of outsiders for this big edition of Xperience, with the EBW World Champion Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega storming the building looking for Zodiac, and sightings of Firestarter in the area. This episode was sure to be unpredictable.
The action opened with Akinan returning from overseas to join the WAR brand against the Zodiac powerhouse Taurus. A clashing of two bulls saw the returning Akinan overpower Taurus, nearly scoring a pin before Zodiac went in for the attack, causing the DQ. Akinan did clear the ring though, and looked strong in the face of the Zodiac. After the match Retro Hippie rushed down to the ring and whispered something to Akinan, leading him to the back. Randy no Kachi's bad luck streak continued in the Infinity Division with a narrow defeat against the Lucha Blades Switchback. A missed splash of the ropes lead to the Rolling Shooting Star Press and the pin. The Infinity Division Championship match was up next, with Zodiac's Hotlanta defending against Anwin. Hot match from the start with Anwin nearly scoring the pin following a Static Superplex off the top rope, but Hot narrowly got his foot on the ropes. Later, an eye gouge from Hotlanta opened up the path to a spear followed up by a Bellerophon Bomb and a pin. Anwin came close but the title remains with Zodiac. After the match, Cherub Kid, the holder of the Infinity Gauntlet tried to come down to seemingly challenge for another shot at Hot, but Jamie OD appeared out of nowhere and shoved Cherub down the long flight of stairs. Cherub was scheduled to compete later in the night, but now he was in bad condition and had to be stretchered out.
The cameras followed the stretcher as Tack and Amy Angel appeared and stayed with Cherub till he was loaded in the ambulance and driven off.
Trevor Mach: Uh....hey guys? What's uh....what's going on?
Tack Angel: Jamie OD is what's going on? Cherub Kid's on his way to the hospital.
Trevor Mach: ......Again?
Tack Angel: *sigh* This is getting a bit ridiculous. Can't deal with Zodiac, cause Firestarter is doing whatever they want with no consequences. It's not supposed to be like this. We're supposed to be able to handle this, but it seems they're coming at us from all sides.
Trevor Mach: That's what bad guys do Tack!
Tack Angel: Bad guys....you always see it so black and white. All I see is trouble, and we're trapped in a position where we can barely get by. The fans are going to start to notice it too. WAR is supposed to be the new home for heroes, but we're lacking in heroics at the moment. I don't think I have it in me, and now I've got to go face Nikky and Leo on my own.
Trevor Mach: Well Tack, you're wrong, and you're not alone.
Tack Angel: Huh?
Trevor Mach: Come Tack, we've got a match to get to. Dammit, we've got to give the people back their heroes! BOOSH!
In a surprising move, Trevor Mach crossed lines to WAR to assist his Justice 87 tag partner Tack Angel in a non-title tag battle against Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius and Leo. Great match that saw the champion tandem hold up against the Zodiac leader, and fight off outside interference. However, Firestarter made their presence felt again, attacking Justice 87 and forcing a DQ. Zodiac didn't seem to mind and assisted in the beat down, but Trevor and Tack managed to fight them off and clear the ring of all but Destroyer A. As Nikky smugly backed his way up the steps the chaos intensified, with Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega going on the attack, trying to force Nikky to stop playing games and make the make the match official at Victory Explosion VII. Nikky narrowly escaped, but Leo wasn't as lucky. Justice 87 managed to back Destroyer A down, and force him and Jamie OD to leave through the crowd. Sal Paradise was no where in sight. Crazy action all around.
We then went to the back for an announcement from Retro Hippie.
Retro Hippie: Alright everyone listen up! Retro Hippie here, the voice of the Revolution, and it's time to make a big Victory Explosion VII announcement. We're challenging EBW to take us on 3-on-3 in what we're calling a Flag Match. One side will have a WAR Flag, and the other an EBW Flag. First team to get the other flag and plant it on their side wins the match. For this inaugural battle that will reignite this rivalry we're bringing in the big guns, namely the recently returning Akinan, the monster KYO, and the powerhouse Alpha Beta Troy! You don't have what it takes to get through this massive unstoppable wall. We've got offense covered, we've got defense, and we've got....well whatever scary stuff KYO's got planned.
Troy: HOLD IT! YOU THINK I'M GOING TO WORK WITH THAT DEMENTED LITTLE BASTARD KYO THEN YOU GOT ANOTHER THING CO-
Little Mac: TROY! My client would be honored to serve alongside these men for the glory of our cause. It is time for WAR to step up and take the glory, and Troy will be remembered in the history books as the guy that made it happen even IF KYO gets in our way.
KYO: .....
Little Mac: Akinan, we have a past I know, but now we need you. For our future let's put aside the past. Welcome back.
Akinan: I'll do what I got to do, but how about we just keep our distance Mac. Old wounds don't heal easily, and I've been known to hold a grudge.
Little Mac: Fair enough.
Retro Hippie: There you have it! This team is ready! Let's see what you've got EBW! We'll see you at Victory Explosion VII!
The main event saw WAR Euro-Continental Champion Simon Stuart take on Zodiac's Scorpio, with the belt on the line. Stuart had already beaten Scorpio this week at Machismo Office for his third Mastery Medal, and Scorpio was looking to make sure it didn't happen again, and to get revenge by bringing the belt into Zodiac. Athletic contest dragged down by outside interference. The addition of Taurus to the outside saw Simon take a hard headbutt while the referee was distracted by one of the Valkyries. The headbutt lead to Scorpio hitting the Scorpion Deathdrop, for the 1-2-KICKOUT! Scorpio looked livid as he put Simon in the Deathlock. Stuart showed great spirit, never tapping out and fighting for the ropes until seemingly blacking out, forcing a referee stoppage. Scorpio won the match and claimed the belt for Zodiac. A rough end to close out this episode of Xperience.

Nerma: Time for another Aftermath with Nerma from EBW!
Retro Hippie: AND Retro Hippie, the voice of the Revolution, from WAR!
Nerma: I hear you have something you want to say to EBW?
Retro Hippie: You bet I do!
Nerma: Fair enough, but before that we need to take a look at the weekly ratings. We took a week off last week, but the ratings were about the same as before. This week is no different.
----------
-Weekly Ratings-
EBW: Xcite - 4.5
WAR: Xperience - 4.5
----------
Retro Hippie: A tie?! I figured we would have this one!
Nerma: The ratings held for Xcite for a third week while Xperience grew its audience over a three week span. Good for you guys, maybe you're on our level now.
Retro Hippie: The secondary shows NEVER do the numbers of the primary show, but look at that! We've shaken off that "secondary" feel that Xperience had under EBW! HAHA!
Nerma: Yeah yeah good for you. Now, what was it that you wanted to say to EBW?
Retro Hippie: The shenanigans of Justice 87 and the chaos of Firestarter and Zodiac haven't made us forget that WAR....is at....well WAR with EBW. That's why we've challenged you to that 6-Man Tag Flag Match!
We've got our three guys, now where are yours! Where are your three?
Nerma: Hey, you made the announcement on your show and called us out. Now, we're going to pop a rating at your expense by waiting to announce it on our show!
Retro Hippie: GAH!
Nerma: It's all about popping that rating Hippie!
Retro Hippie: We'll see! A ratings bump won't matter after we mop the floor with you at Victory Explosion VII.
Nerma: I think we can both agree that the show is going to be huge this year.
Retro Hippie: I can agree to that. Biggest Victory Explosion ever. WAR will be entering the Saturn Dome for the first time!
Nerma: Yeah, we're definitely going in much differently than the last VE to take place in the Dome. Tickets have already moved fast on the promise of just a couple matches.
Retro Hippie: Yeah, well we've got another one to announce right here and now.
Nerma: That's funny, cause EBW does too! We're putting our brand new Bravest Division on display at the Saturn Dome! Grind will put his belt on the line against Reality Gangster leader Subculture! It's going to be a Ladder Match! What do you say about that?
Retro Hippie: I laugh at that, cause the Infinity Division, the true established division will be on display as well. Hotlanta is going to have to put his belt on the line against an opponent yet to be determined in a Tables Match!
Nerma: We'll see if the Infinity Division can match up to the hottest new division in wrestling. Bravest Division!
Retro Hippie: How about we put that to the test? I've been given permission to throw down another challenge. Two of EBW's Bravest Division against two of WAR's Infinity Division in tag action! What say you?
Nerma: I don't even have to wait for permission on that one! I know EBW will gladly accept!
Retro Hippie: Alright then!
Nerma: ALRIGHT!
Retro Hippie: GOOD!
Nerma: Great!
Retro Hippie: Yeah!
Nerma: ......Time to end the show! Take it away you suspicious disembodied announcer voice thing!
Announcer: As we get closed to Victory Explosion VII the tension is mounting, and the excitement is reaching a fevered pitch. All over, fans and wrestlers alike are chomping at the bit for Victory Explosion VII in Saturn Dome. As we get closer we still haven't received the signature that Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius must give to make the main event official, but he DID make this video announcement. Let's watch!
Nikky: Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega think they almost got one over on me? On ME?! I'm The Golden! I make it rain! I've got the brains and I've got both of them where I want them! They are desperate to get me to sign on for this match. EBW is locked in on it, and now I can hold them hostage. Perhaps you shouldn't announce a match you can't deliver. Don't get me wrong, winning the EBW World Championship in the Dome is my destiny, and it will be fulfilled, but it will be on MY TERMS! First off, make sure you're available for Xcite, cause we're coming in and taking that ring until you agree to face my guys here one on one. Camilo gets the monster Taurus, while Firebrand can fall to Leo. Make no mistake EBW, I, your hero, will save you all with my golden grace and claim that belt for Zodiac. The heavens call... The earth cries out... The crowds roar... All calling on me to save EBW. Now listen up! I am The Golden, Nikky Sagittarius!
Firebrand X: So that's how it is. Nikky wants us in the ring against Zodiac. We have to play the game to get the match we want, but we'll only play as long as we have to. I don't bow to Nikky, and I know you don't either. We work together on this agreed?
Camilo Ortega: *nod*
Firebrand X: See you Monday then.
Gemma: Firebrand, can we really trust him? I mean, I know he "walks the path of Heaven", and comes off like he's trustworthy, but with the title on the line wouldn't he rather make sure the champ isn't fit to compete before the match?
Firebrand X: That's not the type of person he is. A lot of parasite dwell in this world, but he's not one of them. I don't have to trust him anyways, as we both want the same thing. That's enough for now. Once we get it all bets are off, for this battle will be to crown EBW's true King. Heaven and Hell will coexist until Victory Explosion VII.
----------
Announcer: So it's official that the champ and Camilo Ortega will take on members of Zodiac on the next Xcite, all in a game to get Nikky to sign the contract and make this main event happen. Not all eyes are on the big show though, some are more focused on certain individuals. Sal Paradise has sent in yet another video directed towards Trevor Mach. Let's take a look...
Sal Paradise: Heya Trevor! I noticed you were on Xperience this week. Sorry, I couldn't be there, but I was busy here in Onett taking the old "Trevor Mach Tour". No seriously, it was real damn tour! Did you know that Trevor Mach used to work as a party clown? Seriously! Now he does it for free all the damn time! I might have come back at night and ran that tour bus over a cliff, but who's to say. I would have taken the Tack Angel tour, but if I had to sit and hear about Sega for 3 hours I was going to kill somebody! On the tour though, I noticed this place. You used to live here didn't you? This smoldering heap in the ground? What a place Trev, I must say. Now what about this gravestone here? What's up with that? I didn't really know or care so I kicked the shit out of it and left my mark, hope that wasn't important to you or anything. I thought about coming to Xcite this week. I hear Lady M's is competing, and I've got to see that. She hot Trev, really hot. I hate to be the one to tell you, but I think she's got a thing for me. Maybe you're not getting the job done. Don't worry, I will. Hahahahaha! I'll see you on Xcite!

Announcer: Back with another EBW News Update, and we've got some big news and announcements coming up for you. WAR is changing some practices in an attempt to kick up the in ring action even more while a big item release is coming out for EBW and WAR very soon. First we talk about the big WAR update. The common practice for WAR lately has been to add and announce winner loser purses for each match. The cash would supplement the wrestler's current contracted salary with the intent being to push them that extra step in every match. Now the rules are being changed, with the winner purse being doubled and the loser purse being abandoned. That's right, now only the winner will earn a purse, and substantially larger purse at that. The change should definitely change up the wrestling in WAR.
Announcer: What you just heard was the Xcite Theme of Justice 87, a theme that will be apart of the upcoming EBW/WAR CD. A collection of your favorite wrestler's themes available for the first time. Preorder now, and you won't get anything extra, because if you have to include a preorder perk your product must not be worth buying on its own, but this will be worth it. Hence no preorder bonus. Here is a little Pre Xcite bonus though, not because it won't be worth watching, but because a network has time to fill. Trevor Mach and Lady M's are both competing on the next Xcite, but Sal Paradise has also promised that he is going to show up. This lead to a little "discussion" during a training session.
Lady M's: Trevor, I know you know the difference between a wrist lock and a wrist watch, so what gives with all the botched attempts here.
Trevor Mach: Huh? Oh sorry, I was just thinking.
Lady M's: We JUST ate an hour ago to black hole.
Trevor Mach: No no, this isn't about food.....for once. Just thinking about Xcite....and Sal Paradise.
Lady M's: If that raving lunatic even makes it into the building it'll be his own funeral if he even attempts to make a move towards me. I have no problems sending him to the hospital. I mean come on, I've thrown you out of a second story window and through a wall, and I don't even mind having you around so much.
Trevor Mach: ....That was sweet Tali. I'm trying not to get choked up. That got me right here.
Lady M's: Funny, I'd figure you would have grabbed your pants instead of you chest just now.
Trevor Mach: No seriously, what gets me about Sal Paradise is that he's NOT crazy. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing and he doesn't seem to care about the consequences. He is dangerous to us, and I have to admit that as much I don't like to, and while I enjoy the danger I wonder about you and Little M's and-
Lady M's: We're not damsels in distress though. We can handle ourselves. Even if he did get.....whatever it is he wants from me.....between now and then I'd fuck him up.
Trevor Mach: You know I love your colorful metaphors and dirty mouth, but I'm serious. Until I find out what he wants from me we ALL need to be careful. Can't take this so lightheartedly anymore.
Lady M's: All the more reason to get off your ass and come at me! You had a bad win/loss record last week. Step up your game Trevtastic!
Trevor Mach: Yeah! You're right Tali! Let's do this! BOOSH!
Lady M's: Trevor, you totally just let me trap you in that head scissors. I mean are we fighting or fucking here? Come on!
Trevor Mach: ......Why not both?
Lady M's: In either case you need to be rougher.
Announcer: We end the show with the highlights of a recent Wild Style Brawl. The announcement of Wild Style cause most wrestlers to keep on their guard to avoid the sudden street fights that could likely occur, but during a fan session with Antonio Daman and Bolshoi, DZ and Ditch of the Reality Gangsters appeared with a ref to go on the attack. The Bravest Division fired the first shot against the Infinity Division, with Bolshoi going through a table, but Daman retaliated by smashing Ditch with a dropkick in a pile of chairs. The fight continued until DZ hit a DDT on Bolshoi onto the hard floor and pinned him for the win. Bravest Division has answered the challenge and it looks like the Reality Gangsters are going in the VE VII opener.
Wild Style Brawl: DZ[o]/Ditch beat Bolshoi[x]/Antonio Daman (5:09) via DDT -> Pin

Announcer: Xcite is just around the corner, but first we have another EBW Network news update! It looks like EBW is branching out again to contact other promotions.
Announcer: The AGES Pro Wrestling promotion based across the pond in Euroland is finally getting overseas exposure thanks to a new television deal with Space Channel 5. AGES Pro Wrestling was founded in 1986 by multiple time wrestling champion Lex Kiddo "The Miracle Kid". It was a home for those looking to break the norms of the industry and give the fans a cool and differenct alternative. Times were good during the boom period of the 90's, but late in decade poor business decisions and the decline of top stars left AGES a shell of its former self. The promotion retreated to Euroland, where its product was still hot and survived the 2000s. Recently the company was up for sale, with veteran Lex Kiddo wanting to purchase his old promotion as restore it to glory, but instead a consortium of buyers lead by a man simply called "The Manager" purchased AGES, with the intention of taking on the wrestling world! While EBW extended a hand AGES replied with a friendly challenge. To make a big impression with a whole country of new viewers, AGES has challenged our Tag Team Champions Justice 87 to put their title on the line against AGES Twin Rings of Saturn Champion Fungus and Biff and their belts title for title. No small steps for AGES, they are going straight to the top.
Announcer: WAR's Tack Angel is said to be a huge fan of the AGES Brand, and is looking forward to heading overseas this week to Euroland. Trevor Mach is said to be psyched to head overseas to and mix it up with new challengers and possibly add another title to his list of accolades. Fungus and Biff are an experience tag team with multiple reigns as champions. They will also have the home field advantage, and experience with AGES' 3-Sided "Ring", a concept new to the team of Justice 87. This should be a hell of a match.

Announcer: In other news, another big match is being set up between EBW and WAR, the 3-on-3 Flag Match. WAR's team is already assembled, but EBW's team is still coming together. One former EBW World Champion is more than happy to step up to the plate though, and made that clear earlier. Let's check it out.
Ryan IQ: What the hell? What's going on here Mike?
Kinniku Mike: Uuuuuuuuu!
Ryan IQ: Where is that pyro coming from?
Kinniku Mike: Don't worry about it! I'm here for a reason! You tell w00t that if he's looking for a team for Victory Explosion than look no farther. I'm all the TEAM you need!
Ryan IQ: You want to take on all three by yourself?
Kinniku Mike: Former EBW World Champion! Former EWGP Heavyweight Champion! Former Eagleland Champion! Former Tag Team Champion! STRONG! TITS! I could go Ry Q! You're looking at the real live shit right here!
Ryan IQ: Impressive Mike, but you don't have to get so angry. You were on the top of our list, but we insist that you go as a team. We'll announce the full team on Xcite, since Nerma went ahead and backed us into a wall like that.
Kinniku Mike: Fine! Just keep em out of my way! I'm out of here! Where my bitches is at!
Ryan IQ: I think your.....uh...."bitches"....are right over there?
Kinniku Mike: ....Did you just call them bitches?!
Ryan IQ: What? No! I thought that's what YOU were calling them and....wait....who are they?
Kinniku Mike: You ask too many questions sometimes man. Uuuuuu!
Ryan IQ: .....No seriously.....where did that pyro come from? I'm not seeing anything behind this desk!

Earlier Today...
Ryan IQ: There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you Trevor!
Trevor Mach: Ry Q! I miss you too buddy!
Ryan IQ: No, that's not it. w00t doesn't really speak up on the subject, but I'm quite curious as to why you're crossing lines over to WAR almost weekly now.
Trevor Mach: It's personal stuff Ry Ry. Keep in mind I'm unchained, and this stuff with Firestarter is just a little bit more important than the EBW vs. WAR feud to me now.
Ryan IQ: Well your priorities might have changed, but I'm still doing the job you put me in, and the pressure isn't matching up the money if you know what I mean.
Trevor Mach: Well stop doing so much! Make the President work for a living. Where IS w00t exactly?
Ryan IQ: He said he's securing big business deals for EBW, should be some big stuff, of course I'm not privy to that information.....I'm ONLY the Vice President and all.
Trevor Mach: Relax Ry Ry, you're too tense.
Ryan IQ: I feel like I've got a club up my ass, and it hurts. I gotta figure out a way to get it out of there.
Trevor Mach: Sounds great, but while you're doing that me and my family are going to go. I've got to show BOOSHI around this place, on account of being the new guy and all.
Ryan IQ: That's Danny Leung, you're not fooling anybody!
BOOSHI: YEEEEEEOW!
Ryan IQ: Oh wait! One more thing! The REAL reason I was looking for you. I saw.....Sal Paradise.....he's lurking around here somewhere. I try keeping him out of the building but-
Trevor Mach: I know....we'll just deal with him when the time comes. Thanks Ry Ry.
Hater: NYAH! Hater here, and I'm outside the dressing room of the EBW World Champion Firebrand X and......I'm being blocked from getting in by Gemma. What gives Gemma? I'm just trying to get a word with the champ regarding tonight's fights and-
Gemma: You don't want to go in there.
Hater: What? Why wouldn't I want to go in there?
Gemma: He's.....bringing HIM out tonight.
Hater: Him? What do you mean? Why do you have his mask? Wait.....OH.....Nyah....I'll just being going then. This won't end well for somebody!
Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius seems to be holding all the cards, and is forcing EBW World Champion Firebrand X and Carmilo Ortega to jump through hoops and play his game to make sure the match at Victory Explosion VII goes down. The match was made official before his signature, and the lack of foresight is really being felt. Now, both Firebrand and Camilo have to face members of the Zodiac, while Nikky leads a team against Trevor Mach, BOOSHI, and new Eagleland Champion Magnum PT. All of this and more on a big Xcite.
Opening contest saw the entire Bravest Division come out for a big over the top anything goes brawl. The Division is still small, but growing as the good Doctor Degrees rushed out to be apart of the action. It turned into a two team struggle with the champ Grind and his allied locking up with the Reality Gangsters, but at the end of the night the Gangsters are more well versed in the art of the hustle, with cheap tricks and a clear plan Ditch sacrificed himself to help Subbie toss Grind over the top to win the match. Afterwards, Subculture grabbed the mic.
Subculture: You see it's just that simple. The no rules environment of the Bravest Division is tailor made for hungry street dogs like the Reality Gangsters. We're the hungry ones. We're the mean and vicious ones. We have a pack mentality in situations like this, and that's why you're all out on your ass and we're standing tall. At Victory Explosion VII that mute on the roller blades is going to eat the canvas, as I climb to the top and grab what I want, the Bravest Division Championship!
Amigo and Noah Jennings of the Shoot Club were out next, talking up their legitimate style to anyone who would listen while Daisuke Saito watched from outside the ring. Amigo, the Macho Hero Grand Champion was about to make a statement concerning his title defense later this week against Simon Stuart when....
[youtube]FV1M3unfbmU&feature=youtube[/youtube]
Black pyro rained from the ceiling as Kinniku Mike hit the scene with his two mysterious ladies, as well as partner for the night Swift and the rookie Chu Chu. All of them were clad in black, with Mike showing the most difference from his normal attire, decked out in black leather.
Kinniku Mike: Where me bitches is at!
Amigo: What the hell are you doing Mike? I'm trying to educate these people about the legitimacy of our sport. The pure science of it, and you come out looking like an S&M......that's it....you just got back from one of THOSE places didn't you. It figures you'd be more focused on getting your-
Kinniku Mike: Do I look like I'm in the mood to hear you run your mouth Amigo? I liked you better when you shut the hell up! No, I'm tired of playing games with you. I'm just tired of playing games. What you're seeing here is some real live shit! Swift and Chu Chu know what's up, and we're going to show you right now. We're going to paint that ring black and roll over you like a typhoon. In fact, that's what you can call us when the three of us go head to head with WAR at Victory Explosion VII. You can call us EBW Typhoon.
The Shoot Club found themselves on the defensive against the new group known as EBW Typhoon. Mike and Swift rushed the ring with a vicious and hard hitting style and attitude. Amigo tried to keep out of the ring citing his title match later this week, but Mike dragged him into the ring for a sequence that ended with Amigo barely escaping Mike but running straight into a POUNCE. Noah, the legal man, hit some kicks and tried to follow up with the Stock Market Crash on Mike, but Mike lifted him up instead for the BLACK Ocean Sonoko Bomb, and dropped him for the 1-2-3. After the match Mike and Swift kept at it, with Chu Chu keeping them in the ring. Mike dove at Amigo, taking out his leg and sending him up the ramp limping. EBW Typhoon made a big impression tonight. Former EBW World Champion Camilo Ortega returned to action against the heavy hitter Taurus, and didn't lose a step in the process. The stoic man who walks the path of Heaven kept his calm against the raging powerhouse and picked his spot to land a judo style take down followed by the Cross Armbreaker. Shocking end, as the big man had no choice but to tap, and the plan to injure Camilo before VE VII failed big time. Lady M's also looked really good tonight against the Zodiac's Lady Sagittarius. The mystery woman under the mask had little time to showcase he skills, as M's had her on the mat most of the match, and kept here there. Match was only slightly longer than the previous, with M's hitting a Sliding M to her downed opponent to score the pin. 0-2 for Zodiac so far in the night.
Reporter #1: Lady M's! Lady M's, I've got a question for you!
Reporter #2: M's, over here! I have a question!
Sal Paradise: Tali! Ooooooh Tali! I have a question too!
Lady M's: .....I've got an answer, that is if the question is, will you put me out of my misery.
Sal Paradise: I love the way you flirt girl. Gets me all hot and bothered, but I don't perform in front of the camera like that, unless it's back at my hotel room. No, my question is this: It's 10 o'clock......do you know where your daughter is? Hahaha!
Lady M's: ......M's. Get back here Sal! I'm going to kill you! Sal!
The losing streak continued for Zodiac tonight, as the leader himself saw his team take a loss from Trevor Mach, BOOSHI, and Magnum PT. After a great back and forth between Mach and Nikky, Camilo Ortega appeared on the stage, prompting Nikky to tag out and make some distance between them. In the process WAR Euro-Continental Champion Scorpio found himself on the bad end of a Mach Shoot, followed by PT getting tagged in, with the third generation rookie and Eagleland Champion hitting the Mustache Ride before getting the pin. Hard luck for Zodiac continued. After the match Ryan IQ rushed down to the ring to whisper something to Trevor Mach and that sent him running to the back where cameras followed...
Trevor Mach: SAL! You son of a bitch! What did you do to her!?
Sal Paradise: Me? Oh nothing! Well...maybe I spooked her just a bit. I swear I was being really loud when I was trying to sneak up on her, I don't know how she didn't hear me.
Jamie OD: CAUSE SHE'S DEAF! AHAHAHAHAHA!
Lady M's: Why are you doing this?
Sal Paradise: Why not!
Lady M's: You're a dead man.
Sal Paradise: I already feel dead on the inside, and you want to know who I blame for that? I blame the BITCH known as professional wrestling. A system that picks you up then spits you out as a burned out mess! Look at me, I'm the poster child! This is your brain on EBW! I hate it, and I hate you Trevor Mach. I hate you for making it all looking so appealing on television. I hate that I became a rat just like you.
Trevor Mach: You hate me, that's fine, then take it out on me. You leave here alone!
Sal Paradise: Remember that story I told you Tali? About the two rats? How their situation changed their nature? I told you then that Trevor and I were the last rats left standing. DA's too far gone to care, and Jamie is.....well he's fucking lost it.
Jamie OD: AHAHAHA!
Sal Paradise: Trevor, you and I are the two rats and we're supposed to kill each other. Let's do that. Let's just kill each other.
Trevor Mach: I don't think Jamie's the only one that's lost it.
Sal Paradise: Oh come on! You know you want this just as much as I do! You live for this shit remember?! Those are YOUR words!
Trevor Mach: What do you want?
Sal Paradise: You know what I want.
Trevor Mach: All you had to do was face me if that's what you wanted. You let her go, and I'll make sure it happens.
Sal Paradise: ..........Sure.
Lady M's: *signing* Are you alright?
Little M's: *signing* I'm fine.
Lady M's: Trevor, I'm going to kill him. I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!
Trevor Mach: No.....it's me he wants. The burn out against the burn out. That's what he wants. Hell....that's what I want. And it's going to happen. Let's get out of here.
The main event of the night saw Firebrand unleash the demon, as Demonbrand battled Leo in a vicious contest. Leo tried to hold his own, but Demonbrand just absorbed the punishment and kept on coming. He refused to tap to the Liontamer, and flung Leo against the ropes to retaliate with a Crash Fire Buster that lead to the 1-2-3. Zodiac had a terrible night, losing all of their matches in an evening for the first time, but Nikky still held the trump card, the contract for Victory Explosion VII. Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega will do whatever is takes to make sure their match at the big show is the true test of EBW's would be Kings, and that is exactly what Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius is counting on.

Announcer: Justice 87 traveled overseas this week to work a special show for AGES Pro Wrestling, the Euroland promotion about to make a splash on our side of the pond. AGES extended the challenge, and EBW's Tag Team Champions answered the call in a title for title bout against AGES champions Fungus and Biff.
Announcer: With special referee Pudding looking on, our tag team, Justice 87 captured another set of titles after Trevor Mach hit the Mach Shoot on Fungus, and set him up for a rare Tack Angel Moonsault and a pin. A huge win, as Justice 87 continues to create a legacy. After the match the AGES newcomers Gear and Til appeared at the top of the stage. The young guns came in with the intent of dethroning the champion General Marcus, but now they seem to have their sights set on regaining the AGES Twin Rings of Saturn Championships.

Machismo Office saw an increased crowd for Machismo Office Battle VI, where the largest card yet was presented, though only the main event had been advertised. BOOSHI opened the show by taking on local talent Marcus Smith in a decent match where BOOSHI introduced his finisher the Wrist Lock Lariat Takedown to earn a Mastery Medal. Noah Jennings brought a win to the Shoot Club after narrowly escaping Daron's submission attempts and hitting the Stock Market Crash to earn a medal. The increasingly popular Macho Mask team took on local fighters Edgar Franks and JB Jones and walked away with the win. Kinniku Mike's new group Typhoon made a big impact with an absolutely dominant match against Skinhead and Neckbeard with Chu Chu getting the win following the Chokeslam. Lady Scorpio reversed the fortunes of Zodiac this week by scoring a huge referee stoppage victory on Heather Mach. The main event was marred in controversy as Amigo tried to cover for his injury with a defensive style that landed him more blows and possibly awarded him more points, but Simon Stuart showed the fighting spirit that got him this championship title shot, and many in attendance thought he won, and even one judge awarded him the win, but when the match went to a judge's decision, Amigo once again held onto to the title belt for his third defense.

Announcer: Time for another EBW News Update! We've got some interesting news from overseas, some news from right here in the EBW HQ, and some unique news from WAR. We start in Euroland, with Justice 87. Trevor and Tack had a big celebration after winning the AGES set of tag belts, and spent the night at a hotel before heading back to Eagleland. It was during that night, that the Hervey Cam Ninjas witnessed this event...
Trevor Mach: dun dun dun da dun......da duuuun....ugh...I think....I think I'm trapped....come on...almost....gah! Finally! Shhh! Quiet me!
Harvey Refman: Uh Trevor? You in here?
Trevor Mach: Refman? How did you get in here? You didn't pass me on the way down the chimney did you?
Harvey Refman: .....No....no I didn't do that. I came in through the door. It wasn't locked.
Trevor Mach: Oh....wanna help me out here?
Harvey Refman: What are we doing in here?
Trevor Mach: Are you here to ask questions or be the best damn referee that I was able to actually get a hold of on my cell phone?
Harvey Refman: I'm always ready to ref the match.
Trevor Mach: Good, now follow me.
Harvey Refman: Wait, is that Tack? Is he.....is he dead?
Trevor Mach: No, he's just a really deep sleeper. Like a hibernating bear and shit.
Harvey Refman: I see.
Trevor Mach: Are you ready?
Harvey Refman: For?
Trevor Mach: This! Wildstyle Match for the Mars Championship GO!
Harvey Refman: Oh! Alright!
Tack Angel: Huh? Trevor? What are you doing?
Trevor Mach: Pinned! Ref go!
Harvey 1-2-3! Trevor wins!
Trevor Mach: YES!
Tack Angel: Huh? What just happened?
Trevor Mach: NEW EBW MARS CHAMPION! BOOSH!
Tack Angel: Wait what?! No! That's not how this works! You have to agree to a Wildstyle title bout!
Trevor Mach: But the Mars Championship is contested under retarded 25/8 rules I thought!
Tack Angel: It is?!
Trevor Mach: Isn't it?
Tack Angel: No!
Trevor Mach: Oh.
Tack Angel: Wait a minute....what's Harvey doing here?
Harvey Refman: Trevor flew me in to officiate this match.
Tack Angel: You paid to bring a referee over here for this ridiculous idea?
Trevor Mach: .....I was bored?
Tack Angel: I know you're anxious to get back for obvious reasons with Sal. I mean, I had to leave Amy and hope DA keeps his distance, but is this really a constructive way to handle things?
Trevor Mach: Well I AM the new EBW Mars Champion!
Tack Angel: You are NOT!
Trevor Mach: I thought you didn't even want the title!
Tack Angel: It's the principle of the thing!
Trevor Mach: Well how about we settle this like men?
Tack Angel: You thinking what I'm thinking?
Trevor Mach: You ready ref?
Harvey Refman: Ready. Go!
Trevor and Tack: ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS SHOOT!
Trevor Mach: Rock!
Tack Angel: I also picked Rock!
Trevor Mach: I ALWAYS pick Rock!
Tack Angel: I figured you were due for a change!
Trevor Mach: A draw! Well now what?!
Tack Angel: I don't know!
Trevor Mach: Co-Hold the Championship?
Tack Angel: Alright then!
Trevor Mach: Freebird rules?
Tack Angel: Sure!
Trevor Mach: Well alright! Goodnight then!
Tack Angel: Goodnight! Lock the door this time please.......and start a fire in that chimney....Zzzzzz.......Zzzzzzz.....
Harvey Refman: That was fast!
Trevor Mach: Loudest snoring ever. It's maddening.
Kinniku Mike: Where my bitches is at?!
Ryan IQ: .....You're going to clean that off the wall right?
Kinniku Mike: I want to talk to the President right now!
Ryan IQ: He's still gone. You ARE going to clean that off the wall right?
Kinniku Mike: You tell him the Typhoon is here. You tell him I'm tired of playing games, treading water, and waiting for my shot at a title, waiting for my shot to handle this Zodiac situation, waiting for my shot to legitimately kick Amigo's ass. Not happening Ry Ry! I selected the team that's going to take on WAR at Victory Explosion VII! Make it happen!
Ryan IQ: Well I can if you....ya know....clean that off the wall.
Kinniku Mike: Make it happen Ry Ry!
Ryan IQ: .....*sigh*
Retro Hippie: Uh....Amy?
Amy Angel: Yes Hippie! Wait! Don't say anything. Can you guess, my brand new idea for WAR?
Retro Hippie: I....I'm going to guess that it involves all of these animals?
Amy Angel: Animal Division.
Retro Hippie: Animal Division?
Amy Angel: Animal Division. Hear me out! WAR is supposed to be a a home for heroes right?
Retro Hippie: ....Yeeeeeah?
Amy Angel: Well who says that humans are the only ones who can be heroes? Plus, kids LOVE animals.
Chicken Man: Finally, it's Chicken Man's time to shine!
Retro Hippie: Right....you're aware that a bear is behind me right?
Amy Angel: This is going to be great Hippie! Chicken Man speaks to the animals, and he's like.....training them....to wrestle! Plus, we got Bubble Monkey! Bubble Monkey Hippie!
Retro Hippie: Amy? Are you feeling alright? Do you think maybe your pregnancy might be affecting your judgement?
Amy Angel: No! Not at all! This is going to be great! I'm gonna go get a pineapple pickle pizza!
Retro Hippie: Oh boy.

Earlier Today...
Tack Angel: Trevor, calm down please.
Trevor Mach: I can't calm down and you know it Tack. I'm physically incapable of CALMING DOWN!
Amy Angel: What is it that you want?
Trevor Mach: You know what I want Amy, and I need you to give it to me.
Amy Angel: I THINK I know what you're wanting but-
Trevor Mach: I need you to reinstate Sal Paradise, and I need you to do it NOW!
Amy Angel: You realize how crazy that sounds right? I don't think I could possibly-
Trevor Mach: Look, you know why I need this. Sal Paradise wants a fight at Victory Explosion VII, and I'm going to give it to him, but for that to happen he needs to be reinstated. You know what he's willing to do to get what he wants. Well this is what I'm willing to do. Do you want me to beg for this?
Amy Angel: Beg your pardon? No, I don't-
Trevor Mach: I'm sorry alright! For everything! Amy, whatever you think I did to you I'm sorry! You win! If I don't do this you know what could happen. My daughter is exposed right now, and if Tali goes after Sal she'd try to kill him. I'm willing to beat him at his own game instead, so reinstate Sal Paradise. Give me that chance......PLEASE!
Amy Angel: Trevor calm down, I would give you what you want but we already took care of Sal Paradise.
Trevor Mach: Eh? What do you mean?
Tack Angel: That's what I'd like to know. I'm in the dark on this too.
Amy Angel: I pressed charges on Firestarter in general. Jamie and DA haven't been found, but Sal Paradise is already behind bars. What they have done while fired from WAR more than warrants this. I solved the problem!
Trevor Mach: .....Do you realize what you've done? *sigh* It doesn't work like that.....not with him. That wouldn't stop me either. Now....I'm going to have to do something I really don't want to do. Tack, I hope you have some bail money set aside. Later.
Tack Angel: Wait....what are you doing? Where are you going?
Amy Angel: I don't understand. What's the problem?
Tack Angel: Some people can't be swayed or stopped so easily Amy, you should know that. They'll do what they want and get what they want no matter who else gets hurt.
Amy Angel: Tack....why do you sound mad at me?
Tack Angel: I'm not mad at you, but I am mad, and you know why.
Amy Angel: .....You want to face DA.
Tack Angel: Trevor and I are in the same boat. I don't want anything to happen to you.
Amy Angel: But Tack....I'm worried about you. I was actually worried about Trevor's family too. I never thought I'd be saying that. I've been revenge oriented for so long, but with this baby on the way and with these guys doing what they are doing, all I've got left is fear.
Tack Angel: That's what they wanted. They want to ruin our lives and destroy our marriage....whatever marriage we have.
Amy Angel: Tack? What do you mean by that?
Tack Angel: You HAVE been pre-occupied with revenge, and your all consuming goal has been to beat EBW, but that personal conflict for you has been over for months. You just heard Trevor, it's over! More importantly someone very dangerous is coming after my wife, and I've had to sit back and watch it happen too many times. I love you too much to let anything bad happen to you. I'll always support you and be by your side, but while you're busy with business I'll be facing Destroyer A at Victory Explosion VII.
Amy Angel: Tack...wait....Tack? Tack please wait!
Xperience this week would kick off in a unique way, with the introduction of the Animus Division. A division giving the "wrestling animals" a shot to enter the same ring as the men and women of WAR. An interesting set up with four "fighters" taking part in the first battle to determine the Animus Division Champion with veteran Chicken Man taking on former FTW wrestler Bubble Monkey, former actor turned wrestler Manley Fish, and burly Big Bubba Bear. Surprisingly entertaining, and the referee Penguin was lucky enough not to get mauled. Match came to a finish when Chicken Man redeemed his long stagnant career with a Chickenwing Neckbreaker to Bubble Monkey to score the pin and the Animus Division Championship.
The next match saw the whimsical DReAM from AGES enter WAR's ring to lock up with the resident clown Bolshoi. The two seemed very friendly with each other, opening the match in comedic fashion with a series of bows that wouldn't seem to end. A high entertaining high flying bout, but the match was soon interrupted when EBW's DZ and Ditch entered through the fans to try and strike another blow on behalf of the Bravest Division. DReAM and Bolshoi managed to fight them off though, and formed a fast friendship after the No Contest with a Unicycle performance.
Amy Angel: Tack! Tack, please wait! I'm sorry!
Tack Angel: No, I'm sorry. You don't have to be sorry about anything. You've always worked hard to reach your dreams, and I shouldn't ever get in your way and-
Amy Angel: You're my dream Tack. This baby is my dream! My whole life I've had to work for all of this, and I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with it anymore. I've always just tried to work hard and do my best, but that must not be enough if I'm losing you. That would kill me Tack!
Tack Angel: You're not losing me, you'll never lose me, but I can't sit by and wait for you to make this decision Amy. Destroyer A is nothing but trouble and I'm not going to let him hurt you or the baby.
Retro Hippie: Ummm.....guys? I've heard that Destroyer A has been sighted in the city. Should I call the cops?
Tack Angel: ......Don't ask me.
Amy Angel: ....No. If he shows up, my husband will take care of it. He's more than enough to handle Destroyer A. He's my hero after all.
Retro Hippie: That's all well and good, but isn't Tack in the main event tonight?
Tack Angel: Oh crap! I totally forgot! Dang it! Gotta get ready honey, I love you.
Amy Angel: I love you too Tack.
Retro Hippie: What were you guys arguing about?
Amy Angel: We weren't arguing. I was just getting hit with a hard dose of reality.
Retro Hippie: Oh....I don't like to deal with stuff like "reality" or "facts" myself.
Amy Angel: *sigh* You're such a goofball.
More Infinity Division action saw Switchback survive three other competitors to earn the shot at Hotlanta at Victory Explosion VII. The finish came when Anwin and Randy no Kachi turned on each other in the match, giving Switchback the time he needed to hit the 450 on Bonk Boy and serve up the mascot rookie another loss. Switchback meets Hotlanta in a Table Match for the belt at Victory Explosion VII. In singles action, Simon Stuart got a measure of revenge on Zodiac, by forcing a Referee Stoppage on Leo from a Front Facelock that was tightly applied. The rising star who has won over the fans and made basic moves dangerous again tried to rip off Leo's mask before departing the ring to the back.
Retro Hippie: Hippie here, the voice of the Revolu-
Simon Stuart: Let's make this short and sweet. I'm not the kind of person that will dispute a win or a loss. I take my experiences and I learn from it. All I want to do is become the best and entertain all of you. I'm not flashy, I'm a fighter. But even a fighter needs to stop once in a while and call out an injustice. I don't believe that Macho Hero Grand Champion Amigo defeated me at the last Machismo Office show. He hid behind his injury and used that as an excuse to deny me a real chance at the title. I pride myself on being honorable, and if I must I'll do the honorable thing and claim three more mastery medals to challenge you, but you could do the honorable thing instead and grant me the rematch I deserve at Victory Explosion VII. I have been Eagleland Champion and Euro-Continental Champion, and now my all consuming goal is that Macho Hero Grand Championship, and I want that rematch Amigo. I want it at Victory Explosion VII. I want it Shoot Rules, and I want it in a Steel Cage. Are you really legitimate or are you a coward?
Retro Hippie: WAR's Simon Stuart calling out EBW's Amigo for the Machismo Office Championship inside a Steel Cage! How crazy can it get!
6-Man action saw Team WAR see if they could function as a team ahead of their Flag Match against EBW Typhoon at Victory Explosion VII. They quickly proved they have a long way to go. Even with Little Mac throwing out orders from ringside, Akinan and KYO were not the type to take orders from the Green Greed Veteran or from Troy, who ended up eating a Gore from Taurus of Team Zodiac in the match and taking the pin. The experiment is so far not working out for WAR. The main event saw Tack Angel the Ace of WAR battle Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius in a blockbuster main event match up. The hype was huge for this first ever one-on-one showdown, and the match was delivering until Tack Angel noticed on the tron that Destroyer A was nearing the building. Without any hesitation Tack ran from the ring leaving the gloating Nikky to soak up the jeers and take the victory. After the match he continued to flaunt the unsigned contract, and promised that Zodiac would soon control all after he got what he wanted at Victory Explosion VII.
Tack Angel: DA, don't even think of coming any close to this building.
Destroyer A: You would get in my way? I'm here for her.
Tack Angel: No DA, you leave her alone.
Destroyer A: She was mine, and she will always belong to me. I did all of this for her. I protected her, and cared for her, cause she was willing to befriend a monster. It will be like it was before. I wasn't going to kill you, because I didn't want to see her tears, but if you don't get out of my way I will tear you apart.
Tack Angel: That's my wife. I love her. You WILL leave her alone. Do you hear me? If you won't listen to that maybe you'll listen to this. I'm challenging you DA. I'm challenging you at Victory Explosion VII. You want Amy, you're going to have to go through me, and while I have a reputation as a push over I have to tell you DA......I won't allow it. I WON'T ALLOW IT!

Nerma: It's time for another EBW Aftermath with-
Retro Hippie: You should call it WAR/EBW Aftermath! We're not being properly represented here!
Nerma: WAR isn't being properly represented with you here in the first place! Why don't we just call it EBW/WAR/Zodiac Aftermath then?
Retro Hippie: Why would we do that? Screw Zodiac!
Nerma: No, you don't get the double sta- never mind!
Retro Hippie: What?
Nerma: You're a goofball, and yet....I feel like I would miss you if you were gone.
Retro Hippie: Huh?
Nerma: Nothing.....stop looking at me like that!
Retro Hippie: What are you talking about? Why are you so red in the face?
Nerma: ......Time for the ratings!
----------
-Weekly Ratings-
EBW: Xcite - 4.5
WAR: Xperience - 4.8
----------
Retro Hippie: Hey! We did it! The Revolution is on! Wooooo!
Nerma: Well you guys did have a strong line up presented including the start of a new division, and the first time ever match up of Tack Angel and Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius. Of course the night saw a lot of shady finishes, but the draw of the matches kept the audience around to give WAR its second ratings win over EBW. Congratulations.
Retro Hippie: This is getting too civil. Takes all the joy out of winning dang it!
Nerma: Excellent.
Retro Hippie: You keep looking at me funny.
Nerma: Moving on, the action is really starting to pick up all around the network as we move towards Victory Explosion VII in the Saturn Dome. Later on, we'll have an actual guest in studio to talk about the main event, and that's a guest you're going to want to stick around for, as this will be the first time we'll be getting any real words from this man. Before that though-
Retro Hippie: TREVOR MACH IS A CRIMINAL!
Nerma: *sigh* Way to spoil the next story. It appears that one Trevor Mach was seen busting INTO the Fourside Jail over the weekend, and we have the footage thanks to our Ninja Ghost Jason Hervey Cam.
Retro Hippie: He's a ghost now?
Nerma: Yeah he died, but he's still on the clock.
Retro Hippie: Oh.
*SMASH!*
Sal Paradise: I was wondering when you were going to show.
Trevor Mach: Just shut your mouth Sal, I want no part of this, but my hand's been forced.
Sal Paradise: Breaking into jail to bust out the guy that's put hands on you, and threatened your wife and daughter. How much is this pissing you off right now? I have to say I'm really enjoying it. Been awhile since I had a good laugh.
Trevor Mach: Look, you can blame me for all your problems if you want, but how about that waits till I get you out of here. By the way, they didn't rough you up any when they put you in here did they? No? What a damn shame. Here, put these on.
Sal Paradise: Handcuffs? Don't trust me eh? Hahaha!
Trevor Mach: Glad you're having a good time. Put em on.
Sal Paradise: I don't want to know what you and Tali do with these, but let her know I could do it better.
Trevor Mach: Oh wow, I want to hurt you SO BAD right now! Like this knee to your throat. Know what I mean? Get out of the cell.
Sal Paradise: Whatever you say "Boss". Hahaha! I fucking hate you so much.
Trevor Mach: No kidding!
Captain Strong: HOLD IT!
Captain Strong: Trevor?! Son of a Bitch! I might have known!
Trevor Mach: Heya Chief!
Sal Paradise: He's trying to bust me out of jail! Look him up! HAHAHA!
Trevor Mach: You knew I'd be coming here Chief.
Captain Strong: Yeah, I figured. I still watch EBW after all.
Trevor Mach: You know I need to get him out of here.
Captain Strong: I'm not a wrestler anyone, I'm a police captain again! I have responsibilities, and you could not be breaking the law MORE right now. This isn't something I can just look away from.
Trevor Mach: We've bent the law together in the past. I'm asking you to do this for me one more time.
Captain Strong: *sigh* I'm getting too old for this shit. You've got a minute to get the hell out of here before I sound the alarm. I suggest you get Paradise out of town if you don't want to have to come back here. I'd much rather he rot in jail.
Sal Paradise: Thanks Chief!
Trevor Mach: Sal, I hope you burn easily cause I'm dropping your ass off in the Dusty Dunes Desert. By the way, I don't have keys for those cuffs.
Sal Paradise: You think you can intimidate me? I'm burned out, what have I got to lose? It's not like you'd kill me....family man.
Trevor Mach: You'd be surprised what you can live through. Just remember what you said. You leave them alone and you get what you want. It's what we both want. Trevor Mach versus Sal Paradise at Victory Explosion VII.
----------
Nerma: We can now confirm that Firestarter have in fact been reinstated for the purpose of two HUGE matches at Victory Explosion VII. Tack Angel will defend the honor of his wife and WAR when he takes on Destroyer A, and one year after Trevor Mach's battle with Jamie OD he will now have his first time ever encounter with the burned out and dangerous Sal Paradise. Matches don't get more heated and personal than this. The tag champs are putting something far more important on the line.....pride.
Retro Hippie: That.....was well said.
Nerma: Oh....thank you. *blush* Uh...so the hype for Victory Explosion VII continues on, with a response to Simon Stuart, who made a challenge to Amigo for the Macho Hero Grand Championship in a Shoot Rules Cage Match.
Amigo: You have the NERVE to challenge me Simon Stuart? Who are you? Son of Legend? Brother of the Boss? You're coddled. You have no idea what it's like to really REALLY work for this championship. To face a legitimate champion! Last time I was going easy on you! I was injured and I did you a favor by letting you continue to have a career. You want to be trapped with me a in a Cage? That's fine! Shoot Rules? Great idea! I'm going to school you kid.....son of a legend....bah! I'm the legitimate athlete! The legitimate champion!
----------
Nerma: Now we're joined LIVE in studio with the longest reigning former EBW World Champion in history Camilo Ortega. It's great to have you here.
Camilo Ortega: *Nod*
Nerma: You've been very quiet since your return, but you looked strong in your in ring return on Xcite. How are the injuries?
Camilo Ortega: I am 100% and like always I'm ready.
Nerma: Glad to hear. We haven't heard much from you since your return. Why is that?
Camilo Ortega: I talk when I need to. I'll say what needs to be said.
Nerma: The EBW World Championship is obviously weighing heavily on your mind.
Camilo Ortega: Many things are on my mind right now. The future of the man that walks the path of Heaven is at a crossroads, and very soon I'll be making a life changing decision in a life changing moment. That's why Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius must be in this main event. That's why I must have my rematch with Firebrand X. The battle of the Kings will open my eyes to my destiny.
Nerma: What do you mean by that?
Camilo Ortega: That's all for today. Good day to both of you.
Nerma: Wait! Where are you going? No sayings from your Grandmother?
Retro Hippie: Cryptic as always.
Nerma: Well uh....there you have it. Time for the next segment I guess? We move onto the city of New Onett, where an independent promotion named Venus Pro held its debut show. The women's wrestling promotion got a huge break with it's main event, as Venus Pro's Alyssa Flash faced Opal from AGES Pro, and her oldest and most hated rival Lady M's in a 3-Way for the inaugural Queen of Venus Championship. It was during the match that chaos broke out.
Nerma: During the match, Zodiac's Valkyries appeared with a bloody Heather Mach, causing a distraction that lead to M's leaving the ring, and in the chaos Flash cheated her way to a pin with a roll up on Opal by holding the ropes to become the first Queen of Venus. Lady Sagittarius taunted M's by showing what she could easily do to any of the ladies scheduled to fight them at VE VII. Sagittarius then promised that a new Valkyrie would be joining the fight at the big event, and that Lady Leo wanted to take on Little M's personally. The means that with Heather Mach on the injured list, Lady M's must allow her daughter to face the challenge of Lady Leo while also putting together a new team to face whatever threat is waiting at Victory Explosion VII. We end the show with an updated card for Victory Explosion VII. Goodnight everybody!
Retro Hippie: Yeah! What she said! Goodnight!

Announcer: EBW has entered the final week before its biggest event of the year. Victory Explosion VII is poised to be biggest of the big, as tickets for the Saturn Dome have SOLD OUT! The three way title main event has been the big selling point, but the recently added matches of Trevor Mach versus Sal Paradise and Tack Angel versus Destroyer A put the card over the top, and helped solidify the shaky main event situation that Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius had put the event in. However, Nikky had recently released a video promising a solution to the problem...
Nikky: Firebrand and Camilo Ortega....the demon and the angel....the would be kings of EBW. You see how easily I can manipulate you? Granted, we had a "bad week" last week, but the power still belongs to me. We've got ourselves a big match coming up, the biggest match for any of us, and the biggest match in EBW history in my opinion, but the problem is that neither of you are in the talking mood these days. How can we hype our match that way? How can we hype the crowd? My people demand to hear from the true King and I will deliver. EBW will soon belong to Zodiac, and I will be rule you all, leading us into the "Golden Age" of EBW. It is my destiny. I want this match just as much as either of you, so I WILL sign this contract, but I have one more condition. We'll see just how much your sense of "honor" holds up on this. I suggest the two of you bring your gear to the Xcite Center, cause what I want is the main of Xcite to be the "rematch of the century" Firebrand X versus Camilo Ortega. The supposed best of the best. The hope of the next generation. Beat the hell out of yourselves to please your King and you can be certain, that I will sign this contract. I will see both of you at Victory Explosion VII.
----------
Announcer: We can already confirm that both the EBW World Champion Firebrand X and Camilo Ortega have accepted and will meet for the first time since Last Clash 2012 in a non-title Xcite main event. This is one of the biggest main events in recent memory, and a hell of way to get the fans hyped for VE VII, though it is all part of the games of Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius. In other news, Zodiac's Valkyries have gained the upper hand on the women sent from SPARKLE to fight them off. Lady M's finds herself alone against two of the Valkyries she knows of, and one she doesn't, while her daughter Little M's will have the biggest challenge of her short career against Lady Leo. M's was seen mulling over these recent events with a few cases of beer, and the cameras were rolling, let's check it out...
Gemma: Uh....M's? Haven't you had enough yet?
Lady M's: Hmm? Wha? Oh this? No....I nev.....never have enough. I do my besht thinking when I'm blitzed off my assh. Makesh it easier to come up with bad decisionsh to make. I undereshtimated these bitches, but that'sh not going to happen again. My daughter ish going to surprise the world when she beats Lady Leo, and I'll whoop all three of thoshe bitches asses by myself if I have to. BUT....I'm not going to have to....caushe you're coming with me.
Gemma: Wait what? I am? M's I-
Lady M's: You can wreshtle right? You know what Zodiac ish all about. You've been there and done that. You're on the other shide of the tracks now, and you're going to ride with me back over thoshe tracksh and together we're going to kick shome assh!
Gemma: I never knew about the Valkyries, and I don't know who this other girl could possibly be, but I tell you what, I WILL follow you, and we will beat the Valkyries, but I think we need to find a third.
Lady M's: Shuit yourself, but who would-
Amy Angel: Tali, I need to talk to you.
Lady M's: Ha! Amy no offenshe, but we need a shomeone lessh pregnant to join our team.
Amy Angel: What? No, I need to talk to you about Trevor and Tack. I need you to let Trevor know, that I am sorry for what he had to go through to get this match with Sal, but I assure you he'll have the match he wants. When it comes to Tack, I want....well....I need....I need some advice.
Lady M's: Girl talk?
Amy Angel: Eh?
Lady M's: Are you trying to have a girl talk sesshion with me right now?
Amy Angel: I don't know who else to talk to, and you're pretty blunt about these things. I feel like Tack is drifting from me. I'm worried he doesn't know that I care, but I don't know how to show it.
Lady M's: You're carrying Tack'sh blue spawn inside of you right now, isn't that enough?
Amy Angel: A marriage is based on love and trust, but also friendship. We used to be such good friends before all of this. He used to make me laugh all the time, especially whenever he listened to Trevor's advice and tried to recite his "pick up" lines.
Lady M's: Ha! Trevor'sh pick up lines? You mean the linesh he getsh from Kinniku Mike, and THEN givesh to Tack? I'm shure you haven't heard the worsht of them. He once came up to me all confident and shlightly inebriated and shaid and I *air quotes* quote, "I want to bury my dick so far up your ass who ever could pull it out would be crowned King Arthur". If that washn't bad enough he proceeded to round the corner and give Mike a thumbs up. You have to admire the idiotsh trying that hard I guessh.
Amy Angel: Yeah, and Tack used to try that sort of stuff all the time even though it wasn't really who he was, but it'd do what he had to to make me smile, even though all I needed was him and-
Trevor Mach: HEY! I didn't say that!
Amy Angel: Eh?
Gemma: Eh?
Trevor Mach: Well, I didn't say it JUST like that anyways.
Lady M's: Trevor......what the hell are you doing in the wall?
Trevor Mach: I'm hiding!
Lady M's: ......I can shee that........why?
Trevor Mach: Well as you know I broke a man out of jail. Just trying to lay low until the heat dies down. Amy, Tack is a man made of feels. You want to get to Tack you go for the feels. He's oblivious, so your actions will have to speak louder than words. If nothing else, take a day off from work, sit down, and spend dome time with him at home. Fire up the Genesis, Saturn, or Dreamcast. Any will do.
Amy Angel: .....Surprisingly insightful. Thank you Trevor.
Trevor Mach: No worries. I'm going to go back to hiding now. Tali, before I go can you maybe hand me one of those-
Lady M's: Nope.
Trevor Mach: Oh...well alright then. Love ya Honey Bunny!
Lady M's: Later Trevtashtic.
Gemma: What's with all the secret rooms in this place? I tried to move this soda machine that was blocking off a door and I was told not to upset the black hole. This place is weird!
Lady M's: Tell me about it.

Announcer: We end the updates, with another look inside the EBW offices, as the EBW Typhoon was once again looking for the EBW President...
Kinniku Mike: Uuuuuu!
Ryan IQ: Oh Mike, you're back. I'm glad cause I wasn't able to get all of that black paint out and-
Kinniku Mike: Where is w00t!?
Ryan IQ: Oh....well he's still not here. Securing overseas deals, endorsement contracts, and-
Kinniku Mike: You tell w00t that the Typhoon wants a match on Xcite! We're going to show that WAR team that we're the real live shit!
Ryan IQ: Well....I can book that match for you if you'd like Mike, but I would like to add something to it....namely....Trevor Mach? You'll be facing the Zodiac and-
Kinniku Mike: All I needed to know. I'm out. Uuuuuu!
Ryan IQ: Wait! Before you go might you introduce me to your two lady friends? They seem to be appearing on EBW television and it WOULD be prudent if-
Kinniku Mike: Don't you worry about it Ry Ry!

Earlier Today...
Firebrand X: ......
Camilo Ortega: ...Firebrand.
Firebrand X: ...Ortega.
Camilo Ortega: You and I have a match tonight. A match to appease the would be king, all so that we can get him in that ring to prove who the real king of EBW is. I want you to know that I have no qualms about this, nor will I give you any less than my best tonight. Every match matters.
Firebrand X: We're in agreement.
Camilo Ortega: Victory Explosion VII is a week away, and win or lose I have decided my destiny and my future, and what I have in front of me is the biggest match of my career. You and I don't need to talk about this match, and we don't need to hype it to the people, cause they already know what they will get. The best against the best....against the "golden".
Firebrand X: In less than a week you and Nikky Sagittarius will be introduced to Firebrand's reality...the true reality that you'll have to grasp. Tonight you get a sneak preview. So "Walk the Path of Heaven" oh righteous would be king, for the EBW World Champion has no choice but to knock you off your cloud.
One week separates us from the biggest show of the year, as EBW, WAR, and Zodiac will all collide in the big Saturn Dome for Victory Explosion VII, but this night saw a major match in its own right, as EBW World Champion Firebrand X faced off with Camilo Ortega as part of Nikky's master plan before the big main event match of VE VII.
The opening match saw a debut in the Bravest Division of EBW, as a flamboyant and exciting newcomer named Picasso Priest battled Ditch of the Reality Gangsters. Fiery match, with the no rules aspect of the Bravest Division coming into play in the opening minutes, as Ditch roughed up the newcomer on the outside. Ditch's extensive knowledge of wrestling tapes didn't prepare him for Priest however, who recovered to clock Ditch with an out of nowhere Superkick to not only salvage the match, but get the pin. Big win for the newcomer. After the match Nerma tried to get a word with Picasso Priest, but he merely winked at her and strutted to the back after a mini impromptu dance number.
DZ was having better luck against the hard luck Fighter Daron, but the scrappy striker came back with some well placed shots that took DZ off his feet. Daron's MMA background came into play, as he went for the ground and pound, but Subculture wasn't having it, and rushed the ring again to stomp out Daron. Interference is one of the few ways to cause a DQ in the Bravest Division. After the match Subculture told Grind the Bravest Division Champion and the entire Infinity Division to look at Daron, cause that's what was going to happen to them next. The ladies of EBW were up next in an excellent tag battle, as Lady M's teamed with Gemma for the first time against Lady Sagittarius and Lady Scorpio. Hard hitting encounter, with Gemma showing she hadn't lost a step since donning the Zodiac colors, and she helped M's set up for the Rolling M's on Lady Scorpio followed by the win. The ladies looked strong against the Valkyries, but they were still one woman down leading into their match at VE VII.
Lady M's: Listen, Victory Explosion VII is right around that corner, just down the road, make your own damn cliche. The only thing that matters is beating that ass.
Gemma: The ass belonging to the Valkyries of course.
Lady M's: I think they got that.
Gemma: With you it's hard telling.
Lady M's: Touche. Anyways, it doesn't matter if we have an extra in the fight, just like it won't matter if they somehow come up with a 4th. I got the fear beat out of me a looooong time ago, and I'm not about to tuck tail and run off cause of some would be badass chicks in bitchin masks. I-
Opal: Excuse me.
Lady M's: ...Who are....oh wait I remember you. Opal, isn't it? The third chick in that match with that eternal pain in my ass Alyssa Flash.
Gemma: Isn't it Alissa Flash?
Lady M's: ...What did I say?
Gemma: Alyssa Flash.
Lady M's: How could you possibly tell the difference? When I'm saying it how do you know that I'm using a "Y" and not a-
Opal: Excuse me.
Lady M's: Oh right, what can we do for you?
Opal: I'm Opal, and I come from AGES. I was there in that match it's true, and I was cost the title as well when Zodiac interfered. You don't know me or my plight in AGES, just like I don't know what you or your conflict with the Valkyries, but I don't let anyone run over me like that and get away with it. I wish to join your team for Victory Explosion VII.
Lady M's: What do you think Gemma?
Gemma: Well I-
Lady M's: Good idea! You're in!
Opal: Thank you. I hope I don't let you down.
Lady M's: Do more than hope....don't let it happen....period.
Trevor Mach: Tali! Hey Tali!
Lady M's: Trevtastic, you finally came out of the wall eh?
Trevor Mach: Well the heat died down. Look, I've got a match next, but I wanted to apologize for busting Sal out. You know I had to do it though and-
Lady M's: I'm not mad about that Trevor. You've got to do what you've got to do, and you made a stand on this one. I'll ALLOW you to get the first shot in on Sal Paradise, but I'm mopping up what's left. Don't forget it.
Trevor Mach: Thanks babe, glad you understand. I'll let you get back to your press conference then and-
Lady M's: HOWEVER, while I'm not mad about that, I AM curious about another matter. A certain bite mark on my a-
Trevor Mach: Would you just LOOK at the time I really have to go for that match. Mike's a little disgruntled lately, don't want to keep him waiting. Gonna go beat the bad guys, you understand. *wink*
Lady M's: *sigh*
Gemma: Shall we continue the press conference now?
Lady M's: Huh? Hell no I'm bored. I'm out of here.
Gemma: ...What have I gotten wrapped up in here?
The next match saw the Zodiac take on EBW Typhoon and Trevor Mach in 8-Man tag action, in part due to Mike's insistence that the Typhoon get a match before VE VII to warm up for the Flag Match. However, the bout didn't go as Trevor or Mike expected, as during the heated contest Sal Paradise reemerged, now a member of the WAR roster again, and dragged Trevor out of the ring to brawl. As the referee tried to regain control Nikky and clobbered Chu Chu with his mask and followed up with the Golden Arrow Cradle Piledriver to score the pin. Mike's Typhoon was screwed over by a Zodiac looking very strong, with Nikky avoiding direct conflict with Trevor or Mike. The brawling between Trevor and Sal continued way into the back, as Sal gained the upper hand, smashing Trevor into the sound equipment backstage. Sal left Trevor bloody as Lady M's and the Red Shirts finally backed him off.
Sal Paradise: I said I'd leave them alone Trevor, but I never said I'd leave you alone! We're the rats remember! Wrestling is the bitch that turned me into this, and turned you into that! That's what wrestling wants! That's what the people want! To see us both in a bloody heap, having used our lives to entertain THEM! Don't forget! You won't forget CAUSE I JUST BEAT THE FACT INTO YOU! I want you to think really hard and weigh your sins before Victory Explosion VII, cause our sins will come back on us, and eat us, and tear us apart, and make us the monsters the bitch called wrestling intends us to be, and only one of us is walking out of that ring on his own two feet! Think about it........think about it.
The main event of the show was exactly what you would expect from two of the best to ever step into an EBW ring, as EBW World Champion Firebrand X took on former champion Camilo Ortega in a rematch from Last Clash, and a prelude to Victory Explosion VII. They pulled no punches and went all out as they said they would, with the big moves and near falls coming frequently. Nikky "The Golden" Sagittarius watched on with glee on the stage as he also kept true to his word and finally signed the contract for the match. Late in the match Camilo was setting up for the finish on Firebrand, but a 2.9 count lead to the two fighting to their feet and trading blows in the center until a bell sounded. The time limit had been reached. The wrestlers matched their Last Clash match if not exceeded it and had the crowd on their feet, but neither man would stay down, leading to the draw. The crowd applauded as Nikky grabbed a mic.
Nikky: Well well well, that was a very impressive performance you put on for your King. Neither of you would stay down. Neither man took the easy way out, and now look at you. You're tired and hurt. You blew yourselves up in the ring, while the King is still shining! The true King will prevail at Victory Explosion VII, and you're looking at him. I have signed the contract, and all that's left is my absolute victory over the both of you, and EBW. Like I said when I revealed myself to the world. I'm going to save EBW....from itself....by becoming its World Champion. Nothing either of you do will halt destiny....the rise of Sagittarius......the Golden Age. See you at Victory Explosion VII.

Nerma: Hello EBW and WAR fans, we're coming at you live from the EBW News Center for a big Victory Explosion VII special before the big event. You'll be able to catch a brand new installment of Machismo Office every two weeks from now on, so don't miss the next episode next week. Right now though, before we look forward to VE VII, we will take a look back to the past and recap the last six Victory Explosion events. I'm joined by the EBW President w00t, who has been missing for the past few weeks. Where you been boss?
w00t: I have been working hard to secure a bright future for EBW. I'm talking a more aggressive global expansion, and more of that will be announced after VE VII. Right now though, we're talking about Victory Explosion, the biggest event of the year since 2006. EBW always supplies the fans with great action and entertainment, but this show is always the pinnacle. Last Clash might be the final show of a year, but I always look at Victory Explosion as the end of one year and the start of another for EBW, as everything always changes following the huge event. We've always delivered, and this year will be no different.
Retro Hippie: Don't ever forget about WAR. The voice of the Revolution is here, and I'm joined by out boss Amy Angel!
Amy Angel: This will be the first Victory Explosion for WAR, and I promise that we'll deliver on a higher level than EBW ever has. This show will not only bring excellent matches and spectacle moments, but also a little added bonus. I have a huge announcement to make at Victory Explosion VII, and it regards the future of WAR, and it's going to be a bright future, of that I promise.
Retro Hippie: Wait wait wait! What announcement?
Amy Angel: That's for me to know and everyone to find out at Victory Explosion VII!
Retro Hippie: Awwww man!
Nerma: Victory Explosion is entering its seventh incarnation, so let's take a quick look back at the other events leading up to this one...
Victory Explosion I - 2006
Main Event - EBW World Championship: Trevor Mach(c) vs. Ness
EBW's first foray into the Saturn Dome saw a packed card with the main event featuring a rematch between EBW World Champion Trevor Mach when he wore the white and red robe, and the EBW OG Ness. A bloody battle ensued that ended with Trevor retaining the title. This show was the starting point of a feud that would play out over the next year.
Victory Explosion II - 2007
Main Event - EBW World Championship/MKPW Championship: Trevor Mach(c) vs. Dynamic Dougie(Giygas) Special Referee: Ness
The ensuing year following Victory Explosion I saw the turn of Ness and the rise of Metal Rush. Trevor Mach had the best year of his career, and fought off the advances of Ness and his gang, as well as foes from MKPW and VBW. His biggest challenge came in the form of his own cousin Dynamic Dougie, though as we would find out, Dougie wasn't really himself in that match. Crazy spectacle befitting the early days of EBW, with Ness redeeming himself as the Special Referee, saving the day for EBW.
Victory Explosion III - 2009
Main Event - Global World Championship: w00t(c) vs. Ness
EBW moved from Onett to Fourside and grew even bigger. The roster grew with the addition of the New Generation of Kinniku Mike, Amigo, and Maurice. These three would help shift and mold EBW into the most athletic sport out there, while the under card would see Trevor Mach and Rude kick off the growth of the MMA influence in EBW. The main event saw w00t's "Perfect" reign as Global World Champion come to an end, and Ness regained his position as the ace and hero of EBW.
Victory Explosion IV - 2010
Main Event - Global World Championship: Little Mac(c) vs. Tack Angel
The influence of MMA evolved into the Bushido Mission that saw Maelstrom's Trevor Mach and EBW's Ness battle in an undercard match that would shape EBW's future, but the biggest news of this show on the hot beach of Summers saw the rise of the new ace of EBW, as Tack Angel overcome the Green Legend Little Mac to win his first World Championship. This single moment would change EBW forever, as Tack Angel became EBW's new hero.
Victory Explosion V - 2011
Main Event - Global World Championship 3-Way: Swift(c) vs. Tack Angel vs. Lukie
While the main event saw Tack Angel battle past his rival Lukie and his old tag team partner Swift to regain the Global World Championship, the undercard featured a match that saw Trevor Mach remove Rufus Poochyfud from EBW once and for all. The next week Mach would become President of EBW, and Tack Angel regained his spot as the Ace of EBW from Swift.
Victory Explosion VI: Ultimate EBW vs. Capcom - 2012
Main Event - Global World Championship 3-Way: Sal Paradise(c) vs. Akuma
Rufus Poochyfud returned as the Great Leader of Capcom to lead an invasion on EBW, but by this point a new generation of top talent were standing tall ready to defend the company. Sal Paradise and Amigo rose up, to stop Capcom dead in it's tracks in title matches, while Tack Angel lead a coalition in a big team battle. Trevor Mach got back into the ring for the first time since becoming President to battle Jamie OD in a match that would serve as a precursor to the current conflict that he and Tack Angel have with Firestarter.
---------
Nerma: EBW has seen a lot of evolution and change over the years, and we can only get bigger. Be sure to stay tuned this week for more Victory Explosion VII hype, and also tune in for WAR: Xperience, where the Animus Division Championship will be on the line, DReAM of AGES will return to team with Bolshoi, and in the main event Tack Angel will have another encounter with Jamie OD ahead of his big battle with Destroyer A at Victory Explosion VII.

Earlier Tonight...
Amy Angel: Tack! No! Tack! Please be alright! Dammit DA WHY?!
Destroyer A: It's his reckoning for taking what is mine.....your heart....your soul.
Amy Angel: Stop it DA! GET BACK!
Cherub Kid: Sore o tomeru!
Jamie OD: HAHAHAHA! Look who it is! The little Tack wannabe! Oi! Still can't speak a word of Eaglish can ya? HAHAHA!
Amy Angel: Cherub! Be careful!
Cherub Kid: Kore ijō nai!
Jamie OD: Victory Explosion's right around the corner kid? You show up here on this last show, seems like you're looking to pick a fight for that pay per view......or perhaps you and I could have the match I was going to have with Tack tonight.....AHAHAHAHA!
Cherub Kid: Hai.
Jamie OD: Is that a yes? HA! You're dumber than I thought you little bastard. How many times do you have to get beat down. How many times do we need to put you on the shelf?! Maybe this time, I'll make sure you STAY DOWN! AHAHAHAHA!
Amy Angel: Cherub? Will you do it? Will you fill in for Tack tonight?
Cherub Kid: Hai.
Destroyer A: Amy....this could all be avoided if you'd just-
Amy Angel: ENOUGH DA! My biggest regret in life is unleashing you on EBW! This is all my fault! I could never love you, but I love Tack, and he's going to step up and clean up the mess I made because he's a better man then you'll ever be! He loves me, and he'll protect me, and he only hurts people when they're people like YOU!
Destroyer A: You cause me considerable pain....you're the only one who can. Very well....I will cause you considerable pain....with the blood of the Angel.
Jamie OD: AHAHA! We're gonna carve up any Angel wannabe in this whole place! Come on DA, I got to get ready for my match. It's GREAT to be back on the good ol' WAR roster! AHAHAHAHA!
Cherub Kid: .....
Amy Angel: Cherub, this is very important. I don't know how much of what I'm saying you can understand, but I know that you have a gentle heart like Tack, but tonight you're going to need more. You're going to need to be a soldier in that ring to stand to Jamie OD in that ring. Do you hear me? A solider!
Cherub Kid: .....Senshi ni mo nareru sa....if you need me.
The last stop before Victory Explosion VII is upon us, with the XP Zone packed for a big Xperience. The show opened with Tack Angel taking a beating from Firestarters Jamie OD and DA, but Cherub Kid has stepped up to fill in for his mentor and show the heart of the angels against the destructive hooligan Notorious J.O.D.
The opening match saw DReAM of AGES return to the Infinity Division to team with Bolshoi against Randy no Kachi and Anwin, the team selected to battle the Bravest Division at VE VII. RnK and Anwin have been at odds a little from facing each other in a match recently, but they put their mistrust aside for an exciting match up. Unfortunately, DZ and Ditch of EBW's Reality Gangster and the Bravest Division team slated for VE VII invaded the XP Zone and caused the distraction leading to Bolshoi hitting the Bolshoi Bomb on Anwin to get the pin. The clowned prince and the dreamer felt bad and helped chase the gangsters off before extending their hands to the opposing team. Good show of solidarity from the Infinity Division, with RnK and Anwin reaffirming their team work after the match.
The unique and slightly crazy Animus Division was up next, with Animus Division Champion Chicken Man taking on the large fishy fiend Manly Fish. Surprisingly technical encounter, as these sentient animals are proving for a second week in a row that they know how to wrestle. Unfortunately Manly Fish is...well a fish, and spent too much time away from the water. He went for water in his corner only to get trapped in a Crossface Chickenwing and submitted, giving Chicken Man the first defense of his Animus Division Championship. After the match Hippie went down to interview him.
Retro Hippie: Hippie here with our Animus Division Champion Chicken Man! It's been a crazy couple of weeks, seeing this Division come to life, but you have made a big impact in a short time and have resurrected your career. How does that feel?
Chicken Man: I have had a very odd run in my wrestling career. I hit hard times and found myself on the wrong end of scandals I was innocent of from time to time. I used to be hired and fired seemingly on a weekly basis, but I strove to one day redeem myself and my career and I believe I have. You have to always believe in yourself no matter what. Do let anyone else tell you that you're no good because if you listen you're only beating yourself. I want you all to-
?: Hold it!
Suddenly a sentient crow in shades flew onto the stage, and behind him was a very large mole man who looked to be his muscle. The crow was none other than Spiteful Crow.
Spiteful Crow: To those of you who don't know, I go by the name Spiteful Crow, and once upon a time I was the biggest menace in the town of Onett since the Runaway Dog! This Animus Division is going to be the hottest thing going considering just how many of us are going to line up to get in on it. See, years and years ago the animals of Eagland got smart, thanks to a little extraterrestrial help by the name of Giygas, and when Giygas went bye bye, we were still left to deal with our new reality, but no one wanted to deal with us. If I had a shoulder, I'd have a chip on it. WAR has now given us an opportunity to earn a living through wrestling, but some of us are even incapable of that! I'm not going to be stopped by that though. No, I'm going to make my voice heard, and we're going to get that message through to all of you. That we deserve your respect! We do, not this overgrown poultry. See, I know all about you. I know your whole life story. You didn't always go by the name Chicken Man. You went by the name Flying Man and you lived in a place called Magicant, where in REALITY you represented the courage of a small young boy. Remember that? You know who that boy was? That was Ness. The kid that tried to screw up our sweet gig of taking things over. You backed him, but then when all was said and done you bailed. Why is that?
Chicken Man: I was hoping this would never come up. Look, when a boy becomes a man and learns to stand on his own I'm no longer needed. I'm just trying to make my own way now.
Spiteful Crow: Don't you find it funny that he never once thanked you for your contributions. How many times did you almost die trying to help him? Not even one thank you?
Chicken Man: He didn't know who I was. He couldn't have....I wanted to keep it that way. I didn't want all of this to come out. I just wanted to use this new division to set a good example for-
Spiteful Crow: You're not going to set an example, cause we're going to MAKE an example....out of YOU. See this guy? He's Guardian Digger, and he tells me he's ranked #3 whatever that means. I'm sure his bronze medal is better than what you've got. So this is how it goes. We hear on the grapevine that EBW and WAR are going to do a pre show special to VE VII, with matches taking place even before the big pay per view. That's where we're challenging you for the Animus Division Championship. I'm not gonna steal your cookie, cause I'm stealing that belt.
Chicken Man: I don't condone stealing, but you're welcome to send your #3 goon after me, cause I'll accept your challenge.
Retro Hippie: The voice of the Revolution here again with Simon Stuart, and the Macho Hero Hero Grand Champion Amigo. Normally, an EBW wrestler wouldn't be so welcomed with open arms, but Victory Explosion VII is coming this weekend and you two will be put in a Steel Cage in a Shoot Rules match with the belt on the line. Normally, you need three mastery medals to challenge for the belt, but Stuart is getting a rematch due to the controversial na-
Amigo: He's getting a rematch, because I allowed it. He's getting a rematch cause the kid dared to question my legitimacy, and dared to question Shoot Club.
Simon Stuart: I simply want the top competition, and I think the fans deserve a decisive finish. If you want me to be honest though, I DO question your legitimacy if you think you won that last match. If you're so sure about it you won't have any issue in a re-
Amigo: You're damn right I have no issues with a rematch. Do you know who I am? Do you know what I've been through in EBW?
Simon Stuart: ....This isn't EBW. This is WAR, and you are I will go to WAR at Victory Explosion VII.
Amigo: That's right! We will do exactly that, and I'm going to take you to school BOY! The Shoot Club is the only legitimate thing in either EBW or WAR, and you'll find out in that cage.
Noah Jennings: Yeah!
Amigo: Thanks Noah. Remember how you were making all those challenges? I make a challenge to you. The time limit? Let's get rid of it. This match will have a finish, and it's tap or nap for you!
Simon Stuart: No time limit. Just the way I like it.
Destroyer A returned to the ring to take on a Mach, Dynamic Dougie Mach that is, who has been on the shelf with injuries himself. What a match to return to as DA controlled this one sided contest, and put the hurt on Dougie Mach with one Powerbomb after another without any desire to pin, until the referee used his discretion to force a stoppage win for DA. This didn't stop DA, and he even cleared the ring after security tried to stop him. He finally stopped and pulled out a picture, from what could be seen it was a picture of a younger Amy Angel. He looked at the picture before crumpling it up and tossing it to the ground. Team WAR were back in action this week against the Zodiac once again, and tried to cooperate this time, although Troy still looked disgruntled from last week, and Mac could hardly contain his rage, while KYO and Akinan functioned as a team and looked strong. Troy blind tagged and tried to go into business for himself instead of his team and that cost him, as KYO and Akinan left the ring, leaving Troy to fight off the Zodiac, but a Scorpion Deathdrop eventually took Troy down for the pin. Team WAR is still incompatible. Can they put their differences for WAR? The main event was originally going to see Tack Angel take on the recently resigned Jamie OD, but Cherub Kid stepped in for the injured Angel and showed no fear against the hooligan, despite the vicious one sided beating in the match. Jamie found himself getting frustrated however at his inability to pin the Kid, to the point that he called for DA to come out. Destroyer A started heading back down to the ring only to be blocked by Tack Angel in bandages and Amy Angel. Tack stood his ground and DA didn't budge. Jamie took his eyes off of Cherub and ate a high kick that took him to the mat. With the fans swelling with excitement for Cherub he took flight off the top rope and crash down on Jamie for the pin and the huge upset win. Cherub Kid handed Jamie OD a loss in his first match back, and won possibly the biggest match of his career against a former world champion. The last show before Victory Explosion VII shows the heart of the new generation beating strongly, and Tack Angel standing tall no matter how injured with every intention to topple the big man Destroyer A. No more waiting, VE VII is coming!

Crowd: Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!
Jimmy Swift: Thanks everyone! We're back to the Jimmy Swift Show, and as you know the topic for today is "Professional Wrestlers and the Poor Unfortunate Women they Impregnate". We're looking at the worst of the worst when it comes to the love her and leave her types. Tack Angel!
Tack Angel: Huh? Wha? What's going on? There has to be some sort of mistake here!
Jimmy Swift: No mistake you dastardly dog! All these women over here claim that you refused to use any kind of protection when you were cheating on your wife to impregnate them!
Tack Angel: This can't be! Tracy, tell them it's not true!
Tracy: Don't try to play dumb Tack! You played the part of the oblivious idiot and got into all our pants and left us a little surprise, and now you're going to pay for it!
Nerma: Looks like the chickens have come home to roost for you Tack.
Tack Angel: Nerma?! Please don't tell me you're reporting this for the EBW Network!
Nerma: Nope! I'm here because you're the father of my unborn child as well.
Crowd: Booooo!
Tack Angel: What?! What?! What?! NOOOOOOOOO!
Tack Angel: AH!
Trevor Mach: Hey Tack, what's wrong buddy?
Tack Angel: Huh? How did I- Nothing, I guess I was just....daydreaming?
Amy Angel: Tack, I can't believe you would be daydreaming at a time like this!
Tack Angel: Why? What's happening right now?
Amy Angel: I'm leaving you!
Tack Angel: WHAAAT?! Why?
Amy Angel: Because, I realized that I don't love you. I never did. I really love Trevor....and Tali!
Tack Angel: .....EH?!
Trevor Mach: Sorry Tack, I'm going polygamist. See your wife here? Yeah Tali and I are totally hitting that!
Lady M's: I'm hardcore, I'll take em both. Haha!
Trevor Mach: Haha!
Amy Angel: Oh you guys! Haha!
Tack Angel: NOOOOOOOOOO!
Amy Angel: Tack, are you alright?
Tack Angel: Huh? I thought we were.....
Amy Angel: Gotta stop daydreaming Tack, we've got a business meeting to get to.
Tack Angel: Oh right....well....I guess everything is alright after all! Whew!
*BOOM!*
Tack Angel: ........NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Tack Angel: Ah!
Amy Angel: Tack? Did you have a nightmare?
Tack Angel: *sigh* Yeah, I guess I did.
Amy Angel: Well it's all over now.
Tack Angel: I hope so. Wait....Trevor.....are you in here?
Amy Angel: .......He's not here. We've got the security system installed remember?
Tack Angel: ....That wouldn't stop him. Trevor seriously, are you in here? Hmmm.....I guess not. My nightmare is finally over. I'm going to get up and get some Yogurt.
Amy Angel: Sorry honey, but we're out of Yogurt.
Tack Angel: .......NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Trevor Mach: Haha, this is going well.
Jeff Andonuts: SCIENCE! My new invention is a complete success!
Amy Angel: Um...excuse me. What are you doing to my husband?
Trevor Mach: Sup green hair! As you know it's April Fools, but I didn't have time to come up with a complex scheme, so I had Jeff make a bad dreamception machine. It's hilarious.
Jeff Andonuts: Actually, he's currently experience an unwaking, living hell. Probably not so hilarious to him.
Amy Angel: And he's starting to bleed from the nose!
Trevor Mach: Oh.....oops! We better take that off then.
