Trevor Mach: Haha! Feel the storm Crono? It's coming! 

-

Crono: …

-

Rama Raju: A fire has been burning and growing for over a year now. Bashin Dan, my good friend, will become an even better opponent, and he is stepping into an inferno. 

-

Wendy Mustang: Ya ready for a rodeo?! You want me to spare the cliches? Well tough *bleep* cause I'm bucking that bronco named Paula, and showing her it's MY TIME! 

-

Makoto Kino: Erica has long considered herself a Queen. I swore to serve a Queen, and it wasn't her. That crown is as tainted as her title reign, and it's time I stopped talking, and stopped waiting around for someone else to deal with her. You want something done right, you do it yourself? Me the EBW Women's Champion though? Can you imagine it? For the first time…I can.

-

Bashin Dan: I'm here because I still have a lot to prove, and if I'm going to be the Ace of Aces this is my biggest test. Rama Raju, bring it on! 

-

Ripper Jane: HAHAHA! I GET TO BLOW UP TREVOR AND TALI'S KID! HOW LOVELY! YES, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY! AHAHAHAHA! 

-

Hotlanta: Sal, it's time we break you. You should've joined with us, but you stuck with the loser kid. This generation can't handle it. They haven't been through what we've been through. They haven't seen what we've seen. I'll never forget it, and I'll unleash my feelings tonight! 

Generator: So get ready, cause the tag titles are coming home to Metal Rush baby! 

-

Sal Paradise: I've been there and I've done that. I've seen some wild stuff and fought my own demons. I know where I belong, and who I want to fight beside, right kid? 

Boomtown: Don't underestimate me. I'm young, but I carry a big cannon, and you WILL feel the BOOM! 

-

Subculture: I'm in the mood for handing out more than one KO Punch, so step up Ilya, and step up TV CHAMP! How was that? What, we're still o-

-
 
Ilya Fedorovich: I WILL BE TAKING BACK WHAT BELONGS TO ME! I AM THE LAST WAR KING! 

-

Zyro Kurogane: Someone tell Ilya to take a chill pill, and maybe breath mint while you're at it. The result is going to be the same no matter what you do. I beat ya before, and I'll beat you again. I'm the King of Television baby! I'm so glad that's not a dying medium!

-

Paula: Wendy Mustang, you are about to learn the hardest lesson you'll ever learn. You're weak, your generation is weak, and you'll never surpass the foundation of EBW, and that's me. Just remember, when it's all over, I just wanted to stay home and be a mother, but you all brought this on yourselves. 

-

Erica: I have nothing to say, how dare you question the true Queen of EBW! Out of my face!

-

Tack Angel: *sitting on a couch, watching the Olympics, eating chips* 

-

Ness: …..

-

Cade Yaggis: Ness won't talk! He won't say a word! That's fine! You keep your mouth shut and I'll do the talking! It's very simple! You tried to get into my head! You tried to tell me something that you thought would shake me! You tried to give me the jitters before the big night, but I got some bad news for ya! NOT HAPPENING! I'm standing here! I'm ready! I'm focused! I don't care about my past. I don't care! Yaggis! Giygas! It don't matter! All that matters is right here, and right now!  What I do in this moment! What I do on this night! THAT is what matters, and that's bad news for you! You're going to feel the Cadebreaker! You're going to stare up at those lights, and you're going to see me step over you! I ain't asking for a torch! I ain't taking yours. I'm making my own! THIS IS VICTORY EXPLOSION! 




Tommy Dukes: Welcome EBW fans! Renegades AND Xciters! We're LIVE inside *deep breath* THE DOOOOOOOME! 

Nerma: It's Victory Explosion time baby! The biggest event of the year, and it's turning 18 this year! That's literally insane! This existing is the most insane thing ever! It's great though, don't get me wrong! I love it! 

Tali Mach: It takes insanity to make the world go round, and that's why we're here, but we're also going to see some fights! My daughter is going to blow up Ripper Jane tonight, so that's a bonus for me! It's all gonna come up Tali tonight! 

Larry Grim: Yes, that's just one of many matches we're going to see with Renegades and Xciters and in some cases they will collide against other, like in our opening bout, but it'll all culminate with-

Nerma: OUR main event! Haha! 

Apple Kid: Hey! Rama Raju vs. Bashin Dan is JUST as important, and it's going to steal the show, I just know it! 

Tommy Dukes: Hey, we're all excited to see what the EBW roster as a whole brings to the Dome on this special night. It doesn't get any bigger than this until at the very least VE19, in which case that'll be bigger, but that's next year! Ignore what I just said! We have got to stop pointing that out! We have so much to cover, and so much to see, but why don't we kick it off with-

Rufus Poochyfud: ME! HAHAHA! 

Tommy Dukes: Rufus Poochyfud?! 

Nerma: The man behind Metal Rush! The facilitator! 

Rufus Poochyfud: I know who I am. 

Nerma: But where have you been?!

Rufus Poochyfud: Call it the Metal Rush PR Tour. We've got big plans after we soundly crush Havok and claim it. Xcite it next, and then the world. I may have also talked to some of the biggest names outside the EBW sphere, who want a piece of the Metal Rush action! 

Tali Mach: You don't intend to sit here do you? I might kill you. 

Rufus Poochyfud: Hahaha! As always, a pleasure to see you Tali. That chair…it suits you. I like you in your place! 

Tali Mach: Come over here and repeat that. I didn't quite hear you. 

Rufus Poochyfud: Haha! I'll be on my way, but I just wanted to grace you all with my presence before we start the festivities. Ciao! 

Tali Mach: Sleazeball dirtbag! 

Tommy Dukes: Well, why don't we wash that bad memory away with a big Battle Royale eh? Twenty four of the top athletes in the sport, vying for that big win. Let's see who is left standing at the end! LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING! 

1. Victory Explosion Battle Royale: Jammer vs. Snakebite vs. Poo vs. Benjamin vs. Razorblade vs. Grind vs. Isiah Muscle vs. Picky Minch vs. Void vs. Troy vs. Colby Roads vs. Rey Dorado vs. Fray Tiburon vs. Rains vs. Blue Rains vs. Seiya Kou vs. Mamoru Chiba vs. Jaden Yuki vs. Dragon Shiryu vs. Takumi Inui vs. Boz vs. Hoodlum vs. LG Rod vs. Randy no Kachi 
-The atmosphere at Victory Explosion 18 was electric as the crowd eagerly awaited the highly anticipated Battle Royale, featuring the top EBW wrestlers from the Havok and Xcite brands. The stakes were high, with every competitor looking to make a statement and secure a significant victory. The bell rang, and chaos erupted in the ring. Jammer, Snakebite, Poo, Benjamin, Razorblade, Grind, Isiah Muscle, Picky Minch, Void, Troy, Colby Roads, Rey Dorado, Fray Tiburon, Rains, Blue Rains, Seiya Kou, Mamoru Chiba, Jaden Yuki, Dragon Shiryu, Takumi Inui, Boz, Hoodlum, LG Rod, and Randy no Kachi all went at it, a flurry of strikes, grapples, and high-flying maneuvers. Early on, alliances and rivalries played a significant role in the action. Jammer and Benjamin, known for their teamwork, worked together to eliminate Randy no Kachi with a double dropkick that sent him over the top rope. Meanwhile, Razorblade and Grind, both known for their signature styles, targeted each other with brutal strikes. As the match progressed, the ring began to thin out. Picky Minch, using his cunning and experience, managed to eliminate Mamoru Chiba by sidestepping a charge and pulling down the top rope with the help of Seiya Kou. New CXJ Champion Rey Dorado wowed the crowd with his agility, but a surprise attack from Hoodlum sent him crashing to the outside and ensured an old rivalry was far from over. Void, enigmatic and dangerous, played a calculated game, staying on the fringes of the action, standing and swaying, goading Troy of SUFFER to attack him. He eliminated him with a devastating clothesline that sent the big ball of anger tumbling over the top rope. Isiah Muscle, using his raw power, tossed out LG Rod after a brief struggle near the ropes. As the match continued, the alliances dissolved, and it became every man for himself. Rains and Blue Rains battled it out, while Good News Gary and Bad News Barry traded barbs on the outside. Jaden Yuki and Dragon Shiryu worked together to eliminate both of them before quickly turning on each other. They too were eventually eliminated as it came down to Void, Takumi Inui, and Boz. Boz and Inui found themselves struggling near the ropes, each trying to eliminate the other. Void, seizing the opportunity, lurked behind them, waiting for the perfect moment. As Boz and Inui continued to grapple, Void struck. With a sudden burst of energy, he charged at both men, hitting them with a double clothesline. The impact sent Boz and Inui tumbling over the top rope and crashing to the floor, leaving Void as the last man standing in the ring.
Winner: Void by eliminating Takumi Inui and Boz 

Larry Grim: Void with the win! Are we happy about that?! 

Apple Kid: I don't know! 

Tali Mach: I like it! Void is being a troll these days, and it's hilarious! He's got SUFFER and The Auditor running like babies! They have no idea what they have unleashed back onto EBW! My kind of chaos. 

Larry Grim: Yeah, you can see The Auditor standing near Preacher Ra as he tries to calm down Troy and pull him away from the ring. Void is standing there, just sort of swaying. It's almost hypnotic. 

Tali Mach: I want to know who that is, because it's not Derek. I know Derek, he's literally babysitting for me right now. 

Apple Kid: YOU LET DEREK MACH BABYSIT FOR YOU! HE BROUGHT DOWN A SPACE STATION INTO THE OCEAN! 

Tali Mach: Hey look, we all make mistakes. 

Apple Kid: HE DID IT ON PURPOSE! 

Tali Mach: Trevor got off the moon, so it's fine! 

Larry Grim: It's still weird that that happened. Speaking of weird things happening, we now go outside of the Dome, for the next bout. The Exploding Ring Death Match. Good thing we're all together tonight so you could see this one Tali. 

Tali Mach: I would've shown up anyways. I don't give a *bleep*. 

Larry Grim: Yes…obviously. 

Tali Mach: I expect this to be a *bleep* blowing experience for the *bleep*ing *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* Ripper Jane. 

Apple Kid: …My thoughts…exactly?

2. Havok - Exploding Ring Death Match: Ripper Jane vs. Hope Mach 
-Next up, the cameras cut to outside of the Dome for the Exploding Ring Death Match, a brutal and dangerous contest featuring Hope Mach and Ripper Jane. The air was thick with anticipation and dread, knowing that the ring was lined with exploding wire and razor-sharp barbs. A timer loomed ominously above the ring, counting down to the final, explosive climax. Hope Mach stood in one corner, her face a picture of determination. Her eyes conveyed her focus and readiness to face the dangers ahead. Across the ring, Ripper Jane, known for her crazed and sadistic persona, grinned maniacally. Her eyes gleamed with a mixture of excitement and malice, eager to inflict pain. The bell rang, and the match began with an air of caution. Hope Mach, aware of the dangers of the exploding wire, used her wrestling skills to keep Jane at bay. She attempted to grapple Jane to the ground, avoiding the ropes. Jane, however, was relentless, swinging wild punches and kicks, laughing, cackling, and trying to force Hope towards the deadly wires. The crowd gasped as Jane caught Hope with a stiff forearm, sending her stumbling towards the ropes. Hope barely avoided contact, using her agility to slip under Jane and take her down with a double-leg takedown. Hope transitioned into a series of ground-and-pound strikes, her wrestling background giving her a technical edge. Jane, however, was not easily subdued. She grabbed a handful of Hope's hair and yanked her down, biting into Hope's arm in a desperate and vicious move. Hope screamed, more in frustration than pain, as she pulled free and delivered a sharp elbow to Jane's temple. The timer continued to tick down, creating a sense of urgency. Jane managed to push Hope into the ropes, triggering a small explosion that sent sparks flying and a loud bang. The impact sliced into Hope's back, leaving small cuts, but she gritted her teeth and fought on. As the match wore on, both women began to show the wear and tear of the brutal environment. Hope, bleeding from her back, locked Jane in a series of suplexes, using her strength to keep Jane disoriented. Jane countered with a rake to Hope's eyes, followed by a snap DDT. The crowd watched in awe as the two warriors fought with everything they had. With just a few minutes left on the timer, Jane attempted to Celtic whip Hope into the ropes again. However, Hope reversed the move, sending Jane face-first into the explosive wire. The resulting explosion knocked Jane down, her face now bloodied and scarred from the razor wire. She began to laugh maniacally. Sensing victory, Hope seized the moment. She locked in the Lebell Lock, wrenching back on Jane's head and arm. Jane screamed in agony, thrashing wildly, but Hope held firm, using all her strength and technique. The crowd roared as Jane, her face a mask of pain, finally tapped out.
Winner: Hope Mach via Lebell Lock -> Submission 

Hope released the hold and stood up, her expression a mix of relief and exhaustion. The timer continued to tick down, reminding everyone that the ring would soon erupt. As Hope began to leave the ring, she paused, looking back at Jane, who lay motionless on the mat, still laughing and at times crying. Despite the animosity and brutality of the match, Hope's conscience got the better of her. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned back, grabbing Jane by the arm. With all her strength, she dragged Jane towards the ropes, the timer now dangerously close to zero. With seconds to spare, Hope pulled Jane out of the ring and onto the ground. She shielded Jane with her body just as the timer hit zero. The ring exploded in a massive blast of flames, sparks, and debris, the sound deafening and the sight blinding.



Larry Grim: Wow! Incredible! Hope wins the match, and shows mercy on Ripper Jane! 

Tali Mach: I wanted to see her explode personally, but Hope has got her father's mercy. At least she got my looks. 

Apple Kid: Are you alright that you didn't get what you wanted? Do you need to flip a table like President Swift? 

Tali Mach: Nah, the daughter is alive and safe, so it's all good. Speaking of President Swift though, he's having to share a VIP Box with Darius Grouch right now. I'm sure THAT's going well.

VIP Room

Swift sat in a chair surrounded by security, as Darius sat across from him, smoking a cigar beside a No Smoking sign. 

Darius Grouch: You feel safe over there Swift? 

Swift: Let's make this clear "Rumble", they aren't here to protect me. They're here to protect YOU! You've made this a far more complicated experience than it needed to be, and Swift likes things simple! I want a night of fights, nothing more! 

Darius Grouch: You're getting it! Relax Swift. Tonight we're not at war. Tonight we both rake in piles of cash, as we throw our toys out onto the table, and smash them together for the whole world to see. 

Swift: They ain't toys Grouch! I was there! I spent years in that ring! Love me or hate me for what I did, the people never saw me as a toy! They know the kind of warriors they are! The BEST at what they do! You respect the craft, or you don't deserve to helm the ship! 

Darius Grouch: I don't need your approval on that matter. If they have worth, they'll prove it themselves. They don't need me coddling them. I sign the checks. They do the rest. You say we have the best at what they do huh? You're stuck with one of your big matches ruined tonight. That's not giving your best. 

Swift: Oh yeah? Well look at what you got! 

Darius Grouch: Hmmm?

Darius looked over to see Vape standing beside him grinning. 

Darius Grouch: That….is a dire….horrid…*bleep*ing sight. 

Vape: I just need a chance sir! Just put me in a match tonight! Give me a chance to prove I belong! Give me a chance to prove I am a dangerous big man that can-

Darius Grouch: When is the last time you showered!?

Vape: …A week ago I think?

Darius Grouch: What do you even DO on my roster? 

Vape: I'm a wrestler! I'm a Renegade! I'm in Dan Club Sil-

Darius Grouch: You're the one on the security cameras trying to sneak into the women's showers! 

Vape: Hey wait! You got it all wrong! It wasn't the showers! It was the restroom! I just wanted to-

Darius Grouch: I don't want to know! Vape, here is some free advice, and nothing is ever free from me, so really pay attention here. I say this so I can get you to leave. If you want an opportunity. You have to take it. You understand? Make your own opportunities. 

Vape: …Right! Got it! I will help make this the most memorable Victory Explosion EVER! 

Darius Grouch: I highly doubt it. 

Swift: Hehehehe. 

Darius Grouch: Laugh it up Swift. Laugh it up.

3. Havok - EBW Television Championship: Ilya Fedorovich vs. Zyro Kurogane(c) vs. Subculture
-Next up, the three-way rematch for the EBW Television Championship. The champion, "Shogun Steel" Zyro Kurogane, prepared to defend his title against two formidable opponents in "Green Bomber" Subculture and "The Last War King" Ilya Fedorovich. This highly anticipated match promised to be a show-stealer, with three of EBW's top talents vying for the coveted championship. The match exploded into action immediately. Zyro Kurogane, known for his brash style and win at all costs attitude, started strong, using his speed and agility to outmaneuver his opponents. Subculture, a fierce striking streetdog, and Ilya Fedorovich, a powerhouse with a ruthless streak, quickly engaged in a fast-paced exchange of strikes and counters. Subculture showcased some unusual acrobatics early on, leaping off the ropes with a springboard dropkick that took both Zyro and Ilya down. The crowd roared as Subculture followed up with a TKO on Zyro for a near fall. Ilya quickly pulled Subculture off, breaking the pin attempt, and tossed him into the corner with authority. Ilya's power was on full display as he delivered a series of punishing suplexes, tossing his opponents around the ring. Zyro managed to counter one of Ilya's attempts with a well-placed knee to the midsection, followed by a snap DDT. He went for the cover, but Subculture broke it up with a diving knee drop, keeping the match alive. The action continued at a blistering pace, with all three competitors showcasing their unique styles. Zyro executed a beautiful Hagen suplex on Subculture, but Ilya quickly capitalized, hitting Zyro with a running lariat that nearly decapitated him. The Last War King then turned his attention to Subculture, who fought back with a flurry of punches and a takedown that sent Ilya crashing into the turnbuckles. Nearfalls came in quick succession, with each man narrowly escaping defeat. Subculture hit his signature move, the KO Punch, on Zyro, but Ilya broke up the pin with a brutal stomp to the back. Ilya then turned his focus to Subculture, lifting him for a powerbomb, but Subculture countered into a sunset flip for a close two-count. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as the action intensified. Ilya, growing frustrated, pulled a foreign object from his tights, a small metal rod. With a sinister grin, he clubbed Subculture in the back of the head, dropping him to the mat. The referee, distracted by the chaos in the ring, missed the blatant foul. As Ilya prepared to capitalize on his dirty tactic, a murmur swept through the crowd. He looked up and was shocked to see his old War Kings stablemate, Hazen, standing in the crowd. Hazen's presence distracted Ilya, who was visibly taken aback by the unexpected appearance.  Seizing the opportunity, Zyro Kurogane capitalized on the distraction. He grabbed the dazed Ilya and locked him in the Straight Jacket Hagen. With a swift and precise execution, Zyro let it rip and drove Ilya into the mat and quickly covered him for the 1-2-3!
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen on Ilya Fedorovish -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Tommy Dukes: Zyro retains! Zyro retains! 

Nerma: Subculture kept out of the outcome yet again! History repeated itself, with a little extra caveat in the form of Hazen! Is he back in EBW, or has he come to bring Ilya back to Euroland!?

Gamer Girlz Room

Despite it being Victory Explosion, that didn't stop the Gamer Girlz and Kid Havok from gaming it up in their signature dark room. Christy was on a roll while Alison just sort of stared at her phone. 

Kid Havok: You're doing great Christy! 

Christy Angel: Thanks! I'm trying to keep myself occupied. 

Kid Havok: Why is that? 

Christy Angel: I'm actually really nervous. 

Kid Havok: Again I ask, why is that? 

Christy Angel: Because he's in the main event tonight. 

Kid Havok: Cade? You're thinking about Cade? 

Christy Angel: Yeah. Should we shake Alison? She hasn't blinked in thirty minutes.

Kid Havok: I'm sure she's fine. I'm supposed to do interviews and all, so I'm gonna take advantage here. 

Christy Angel: I'd rather you didn't. 

Kid Havok: You have a big crush on Cade, that much is clear. 

Christy Angel: IT IS?! HOLY CRAP! I'M GONNA PASS OUT! 

Kid Havok: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Calm down! Breathe into the bag! Nice deep breaths. There ya go. It may not be obvious to everyone….even though I just sort of….told…everyone. 

Christy Angel: AAAAHHH-

Kid Havok: Calm down! Calm down please! Listen, I think it's cute! He's a good dude AAAAAND….he's apparently the son of Giygas. So…ya know…that's pretty rad right? 

Christy Angel: I don't worry about the details, I just think he's….I just think he's cool, and I just…I just really hope he wins tonight. 

Kid Havok: If he does, are you gonna congratulate him? 

Christy Angel: *blush* …Maybe?

Kid Havok: Awww! 

Christy Angel: Shut up! 

Alison Chains: *finally takes a breath* It's strange to me that people always draw sunglasses on the sun emoji…because he's not looking at himself. I think it's cause we look at him our whole life, and never see things from his perspective. He's so alone…no one can get close to him. 

Christy Angel: That's….deep? 

Kid Havok: I think you SHOULD go talk to him BEFORE the big match. See how he's doing. That was a big reveal right before the biggest match of his life. 

Christy Angel: I might. I don't know. I'm still trying to process my Mom and Dad getting divorced, and then my Mom marrying Geoff Garrett, and all this other stuff going on. Maybe I should just keep to myself. I need to heal a bit. 

Kid Havok: No one heals themselves by wounding another. 

Alison Chains: …Tell that to Vileplume.

Kid Havok: What? 

Alison Chains: Mega Drain. 

Kid Havok: Pokemon?

Alison Chains: Isn't that what we're playing?

Kid Havok: This is Call of Duty. 

Alison Chains: …More like Call of Doody. Am I right? Cause it's brown. 

Kid Havok: …I think we're done here. 

-

Tommy Dukes: Erm, well that happened! Hahaha! Get it? I was doing a thing. Anyways, that was great that happened actually because the next scheduled match is apparently not taking place. 

Nerma: What?

Larry Grim: I'm afraid it's true. Ana revealed the result to Tack Angel and CP Munk, and after that I was told that CP Munk did some soul searching, and he didn't want to have the match.  Wait, look here he comes now, with Tack Angel in tow, looking very confused. 

CP Munk: Everyone, I have an announcement to make. I know you were all expecting a huge grudge match between myself and Tack Angel, but that's not going to happen tonight. 

Tack Angel: It's not?! I thought everyone was joking! 

CP Munk: Look dude, I haven't been the best friend to you that I could be. I took issue with you based on things out of your control involving my nephew Cherub Kid…who became Kishin Kid. He's back to Cherub Kid by the way, and he's a good guy doing charity work these days. A real hero. 

Tack Angel: Oh yeah? Wow, another conflict so easily resolved. 

CP Munk: Yeah, that's fun right? We don't want to cause you any more strife. Anything possibly going slightly against you makes you sad even when you have everything, and that's just horrible that you have to deal with that. I get it man. No one knows what it's like to be Tack Angel. That's why I'm going to apologize, call you the better man, and move on to other stuff. That's funny right?

Tack Angel: Why do people keep-

CP Munk: Well, goodbye Tack! Thanks everybody! Sorry we couldn't have the match! Conflict makes Tack nettled. 

Tack Angel: I don't know how to feel about all of this. Well, you know what? Maybe I could do something shocking and unexpected! Maybe I can put my Jupiter Championship on the line against-

Swift: *from the VIP Room* Tack! Tack, it's Swift. We're not going to do that. 

Tack Angel: What? 

Swift: *from the VIP Room* We're not going to do that! No one wants to challenge you for the title. We're going to let you just have it. 

Tack Angel: Why?

Swift: *from the VIP Room* Cause you'd get upset if someone beat you for it. We're going to introduce a new title to replace it on Xcite! It's fine that you take the night off! Go ahead and go back to watching the Olympics. We don't want anything bad to happen to you. 

Tack Angel: Oh…uh…alright. I guess I'll just go then. Bye?

4. Xcite - [Hair vs. "Hair"]: Tack Angel vs. CP Munk

Tommy Dukes: Well, what do we do now? We move onto the next match? This hasn't really happened before at Victory Explosion. 

Larry Grim: At one of them…an alien spaceship abducted the ring with the wrestlers in it. EBW managed to stick the landing then. This is far less of a big deal. We just throw out a ton of promos, kill some time and-

Tali Mach: Oh look! Here comes Vape. I'd say I need to grab some popcorn, but I bet he ate it already. I saw him shovel old movie popcorn out of a dumpster one night. Don't ask me what I was doing in the back alley behind the theater. 

Apple Kid: Alright, I won't-

Tali Mach: Trevor and I just watched a movie and decided we couldn't wait to get home to *bleep*. 

Apple Kid: …You live a vibrant life. That's a passionate love you have. 

Vape: I am taking this time to claim an opportunity here! I'm making it mine! Now yes, I may have gotten winded just walking out here, but I bet I can take on anyone in the back right now! I can beat the best EBW has to offer! I know I can! I can be a star like Dan, Jammer, and Benjamin! I can be a World Champion! I can be an EBW Champion! Just give me a chance to prove it! Anyone in the back! Come on out and-




Tommy Dukes: IT'S FIREBRAND X! The enigmatic man in the mask! Hero to some, villain to others! What's he doing here?! 

Nerma: Making a big Victory Explosion statement is what he's doing! Vape asked for a match, and he's gonna get one! Firebrand X returns at Victory Explosion!

Vape: Um…um….oh crap!

4. Special Singles: Vape vs. Firebrand X
-The fans erupted in cheers as Firebrand X stormed down the ramp, his eyes locked on the ring, his fiery red mask reflecting the intensity in his gaze. Before Vape could even fully process what was happening, Firebrand X was on him like a force of nature. With a burst of speed, Firebrand X blasted Vape with a running dropkick that sent the larger man staggering into the corner. The crowd roared as Firebrand X followed up with a series of blistering strikes—elbows, knees, and chops—each blow landing with precision and power. Vape treated the chops in the corner as if he were on fire. Dazed and barely able to keep up, he tried to throw a wild punch, but Firebrand X easily dodged it, sweeping Vape's legs out from under him with a low kick that sent him crashing to the mat. Firebrand X showed no mercy, pulling Vape up by the arm and launching him into the ropes. As Vape bounced back, Firebrand X met him with a devastating lariat that nearly flipped the big man upside down. The end was near as Firebrand X, displaying his incredible strength, dragged Vape to the center of the ring. With a display of raw power that left the crowd in awe, Firebrand X lifted the massive Vape onto his shoulders. The arena exploded with cheers as Firebrand X positioned him for the Fire Thunder Driver. With a roar, Firebrand X drove Vape into the mat with thunderous force. The ring shook from the impact, and Vape was left motionless on the canvas. Firebrand X casually covered him, barely breaking a sweat as the referee dropped to count the pin and the win for the returning Firebrand X. 
Winner: Firebrand X via Fire Thunder Driver -> Pin 

Tommy Dukes: Wow! Someone scrape Vape off the mat after that one! It's crazy that he found himself in that situation in what was supposed to be Tack's match! Caught a bit of bad luck there didn't he? 

Nerma: I'm glad that Firebrand X is back, and I'm even MORE glad that he's apparently a Renegade! 

Apple Kid: Aww man, I wanted Firebrand X to join the Xciters! 

Larry Grim: Maybe he's not under contract yet! 

Tali Mach: Hehe….fatty went splat. 

Larry Grim: Thank you Tali. 

Tali Mach: What? It's funny. You can't expect me to have something witty to say at all times. 

Apple Kid: But it's our job! 

Tali Mach: Yeah, but I'm not gonna! 

Apple Kid: Alright! 

Tommy Dukes: Well up next, we have the World Tag Team Championships on the line! Sal Paradise and Boomtown were the ones to take the tag belts from Metal Rush, and now Hotlanta and Generator want them back. They've been fighting for this moment, and it's here at last. LoveBoom! vs. Metal Rush-

Tali Mach: Is coming up, but FIRST, we have my new segment! 

Apple Kid: What?
 
Tali Mach: It's called- 




Tali Mach: Tali's Keys to Victory! I wanted to call it the Endless Mess to Success, BUT the graphic was already finished, so I flipped a table and dealt with it! So Sal Paradise has been a friend in the past, but he's also been a prick! Now, if he keeps said prick in his pants, he's awesome in the ring. He's a former World Champion. That being said, Hotlanta and Generator both feel like they should have had his spot. If you'll remember they trained him a bit during The Ultimate EBW. I would know, because I was there, otherwise I might not have given a *bleep* but I digress. They want what Sal has had, and that's his success and legacy. Like I said, former World Champion. He's had his demons, but he has come back from behind, which is how Trevor likes to work too. 

Apple Kid: Huh?

Tali Mach: Hot and Generator still have those demons, but that will give them a ruthless edge. If they can play by the rules and color inside the lines, they could reclaim the belts. The wild card is Boomtown. Trevor and I both spent some time training him in the last TUE, and he showed a lot of talent and potential. Dude has a cool name, and he's got the tank. He's got the best partner he could have to learn from. If he kicks it to the next level, he's going to make some history tonight in the Dome. Here are the keys for LoveBoom! One! Keep an eye on the outside. Hotlanta and Generator have been fighting clean lately, but you never know. Two! Use quick tags against the Metal Rush team, as they are more used to fighting Sal than Boomtown. Three! If you see an opening to finish it, do it! Don't stretch out your Dome time. You're not getting paid by the hour! For Metal Rush I have these keys. One! Don't screw around, you might cost yourself the belts if the ref isn't going to put up with your *bleep*! Two! Utilyze your style differences as much as possible. Three! Don't underestimate Boomtown. Listen to me, and you'll have the keys to victory….or an Endless Mess to Success…which is better, but whatever!

Apple Kid: I was not expecting that. 

Nerma: She did that for our guys. Shouldn't we be doing that? Why aren't we doing that? 

5. Havok - World Tag Team Championships: Sal Paradise(c)/Boomtown(c) vs. Hotlanta/Generator 
-The following bout would be the World Tag Team Championship match. The reigning champions, LoveBoom!, consisting of Sal Paradise and Boomtown, made their entrance to a massive ovation. Riding atop Sophia the 3rd, the legendary tank of Jason's Dad, the Master Blaster himself, they proudly displayed their championship belts, soaking in the adulation of the crowd. Their opponents, Hotlanta and Generator of Metal Rush, stood in the ring, exuding confidence and determination. The match began with Sal Paradise squaring off against Hotlanta. Hotlanta's raw strength was immediately evident as he overpowered Sal, lifting him and tossing him across the ring with a powerful belly-to-belly suplex. Sal quickly got back to his feet, using his agility to dodge a clothesline and retaliating with a dropkick that staggered the big man. Sal tagged in Boomtown, and the two champions executed a perfect double-team move, with Sal hitting a running knee strike followed by Boomtown's snap DDT. Hotlanta, dazed, stumbled back to his corner and tagged in Generator. Generator sprang into action, leaping over the top rope and hitting Boomtown with a springboard crossbody. The match continued at a fast pace, with both teams showcasing their unique styles. Generator's high-flying ability was on full display as he hit a series of aerial moves, including a hurricanrana and a top-rope moonsault, each one getting a near fall. Boomtown fought back with his technical prowess, countering Generator's offense with a Hagen suplex followed by a running elbow drop. Hotlanta re-entered the match, using his power to dominate Boomtown. He delivered a thunderous spinebuster, shaking the ring and going for the cover. Sal Paradise broke up the pin with a well-timed elbow drop, saving the match for LoveBoom! Sal and Boomtown then hit a double superkick on Hotlanta, sending him crashing to the mat, and possibly injuring Sal as he grabbed at his groin. Generator quickly climbed the ropes, looking to hit a high-risk move, but Boomtown met him at the top, executing a superplex that brought the crowd to their feet. The momentum shifted back and forth, with each team getting near falls and thrilling the audience with their athleticism and teamwork. Late in the match, the action spilled to the outside. Sal Paradise was slammed against the steel steps by Hotlanta, a brutal move that left him writhing in pain and slowed him down significantly. With Sal incapacitated on the outside, Hotlanta and Generator turned their attention to Boomtown. They worked together seamlessly, hitting a series of double-team moves that left Boomtown reeling. Hotlanta lifted Boomtown onto his shoulders, and Generator climbed the ropes. With perfect timing, they executed a devastating Double Powerbomb, driving Boomtown into the mat with incredible force. The crowd gasped as Hotlanta quickly covered Boomtown for the pin, the win, and the World Tag Team Championships.
Winners: Hotlanta[o]/Generator via Double Powerbomb on Boomtown -> Pin -> NEW World Tag Team Champions!

Tommy Dukes: We have new champions! 

Nerma: Oh no! It's Metal Rush! 

Tommy Dukes: Oh yeah! Sorry! I was just caught up in the moment! Dang it! Sal and Boomtown put up a masterful fight though, and the crowd are giving them their due. Don't give up LoveBoom! This is a hard loss, but a temporary one. You lost the battle, not the war. For the next match though, it's ALL on the line. You lose here, and you're done! Mike Thunder and Amigo, two of the biggest names and biggest rivals in EBW history. Mike is a suplex machine, while Amigo is one of the finest ground experts in the sport. Mike is putting it all on the line for his son. 

Nerma: He's always been a dog with the ladies, but his past exploits came back to haunt him. Many people would run from that, but he embraced it. He sacrificed for his son, and today, he's risking everything. It's Mike Thunder vs. Amigo, and it's up NEXT!

Tali Mach: Mike scooped me up in Bower's flying clown thingy once.

Apple Kid: Hmm?

Tali Mach: Lured me in with Twinkies and Dr. Pepper. 

Apple Kid: Oh yeah! I remember that!

Nerma: Never said he was perfect, people.

6. Havok - Career vs. Career: Mike Thunder vs. Amigo 
-The atmosphere was electric, with a sense of anticipation and gravity, as prepared for the Career vs. Career match. Two legends of the SURGE Generation, Mike Thunder and Amigo, were set to clash in what could possibly be their final battle. The stakes couldn't be higher, as the loser would have to hang up their boots for good. The match began with a tense lock-up in the center of the ring. Mike's power was immediately evident as he forced Amigo into the corner, but Amigo slipped out, taking Mike down with a quick single-leg takedown. Mike countered with a headlock. The match quickly turned into a back-and-forth battle. Mike hit a series of suplexes, each one shaking the ring and the crowd with their impact. Amigo, however, used his technical skills to escape, countering with submissions and grappling holds that tested Mike's endurance. Amigo managed to trap Mike in a figure-four leglock, applying immense pressure on Mike's legs. With sheer determination, he reversed the hold, turning the pressure back onto Amigo. Both men eventually broke the hold, getting back to their feet, visibly exhausted but driven by the stakes. The match continued with titanic intensity, each wrestler refusing to give an inch. Mike hit a series of Hagen suplexes, each one more powerful than the last, but Amigo kicked out at two, showing his resilience. Amigo responded with a belly-to-belly suplex, sending Mike crashing to the mat. The competitors gave everything they had, pushing their limits. Mike attempted to finish the match with his Dragon Suplex, but Amigo slipped out, countering with a quick arm drag and locking in a crossface. Mike struggled in the hold, but he powered out. In the closing moments of the match, Amigo hit a series of Hagen Suplexes, each one more devastating than the last. The crowd erupted, thinking the match was over, but Mike, driven by sheer willpower, kicked out at the last possible second. Amigo looked stunned, but quickly refocused, knowing he had to dig deeper. With a final burst of energy, Amigo lifted Mike for his ultimate move. He executed the Olympic Slam with perfect precision, driving Mike into the mat. The crowd held their breath as Amigo covered Mike for the pin. 1-2-3! Amigo with the win, meaning that Mike Thunder's career was over! 
Winner: Amigo via Olympic Slam -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: Oh no! Mike lost! Mike is done! 

Nerma: This is not the result we were hoping for. Metal Rush just took out one of the biggest and best in the sport! Mike Thunder has to retire! This is awful!

After the match Mike fell to his knees while Amigo backed away with Seto Kaiba and Grind, laughing and waving goodbye to Mike. He basked in the boos of the crowd, and seemed euphoric over the victory. Mike showed tears as the crowd applauded him. Isiah Muscle ran into the ring followed by Zyro Kurogane. Father and son hugged as the crowd cheered, and even Zyro Kurogane looked upset about the result, as he raised Mike's hand and pat him on the back before grabbing a microphone. 

Zyro Kurogane: What can I say? This sucks! Samurai Ifrit ain't gonna be the same without the man, the myth, the legend and his Strong Tits! Mike, you're a legend my man. I can promise you something though. Amigo is officially on my radar, and he's going to get a taste of Shogun Steel, hold the sex appeal, because this is personal. 

Mike Thunder: …I did this…for my son. I did this for you Isiah. That's what Dads are supposed to do right? Amigo, you were the better man tonight, but your war is just beginning from the looks of things. I didn't really have a speech in mind, cause I didn't intend to lose. I do have one thing I can say. I have a parting word for Amigo, Metal Rush, Havok, Xcite, EBW, and all of you. You ready? You know what it is. Do it with me. 3! 2! 1! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Thank you and good night! 

Nerma: *sniff* *sniff* I'm not crying, you're crying. 

Tommy Dukes: We're both crying. 

Nerma: YEAH WE ARE! 

Larry Grim: Better dry those eyes, cause your Women's World Championship match is coming up. Paula is putting the title up against Wendy Mustang, and it's NEXT! 

Nerma: *sniff* Thank you for that. *sniff*

7. Havok - Women's World Championship: Paula(c) vs. Wendy Mustang
-One of many main event worthy matches on the night saw the Women's World Championship match next between the reigning champion Paula and the determined challenger, Wendy Mustang. Wendy, driven to prove herself against the veteran Paula, knew this was her moment to shine. Paula, a technical master, was ready to show why she held the championship. They locked up at the bell and fought back and forth. Wendy's strength was immediately evident as she pushed Paula into the corner. Paula, using her technical prowess, slipped out and reversed the momentum, taking Wendy down with a swift arm drag. The crowd cheered as Paula transitioned into a wristlock, showcasing her precision and skill. Wendy fought back, using her power to break free and hit Paula with a series of hard-hitting lariats, each one echoing through the arena. Paula staggered but remained focused, countering Wendy's next lariat attempt with a drop toe hold, sending Wendy face-first into the mat. Paula quickly locked in a front facelock, working to wear down her opponent. The match continued with a back-and-forth exchange of holds and strikes. Wendy managed to gain the upper hand, delivering a thunderous spinebuster that shook the ring. She followed up with a running lariat that nearly decapitated Paula, going for the cover. 1-2-KICKOUT! Paula, determined to retain her title, fought back with a series of technical maneuvers. She targeted Wendy's legs, setting her up for the Sharpshooter. Paula's precision was on full display as she executed a perfect dragon screw leg whip, followed by a knee drop to Wendy's leg. Wendy began to build momentum. She hit Paula with a devastating running powerslam, followed by a top rope elbow drop. Sensing victory, Wendy set up for her finishing move, the Front Flip Lariat. She charged at Paula, but just as she was about to connect, Darkness Aoi, hidden at ringside, tripped her up. Wendy stumbled forward, and Paula capitalized on the distraction. She caught Wendy and executed a belly-to-belly suplex, sending Wendy crashing to the mat. Without wasting a moment, Paula locked in her signature Sharpshooter, wrenching back with precision and force. Wendy, bleeding from a cut on her forehead, fought valiantly, her face a crimson mask of determination. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, chanting for Wendy to hold on. Wendy, her body racked with pain, clawed at the mat, refusing to tap out. The blood loss and agony were too much, and her movements slowed. The referee, seeing Wendy's condition, made the difficult decision to call for the bell, ending the match. A deceptive and cheap victory for Paula, who claimed to be the best and able to beat Wendy on her own. 
Winner: Paula via Sharpshooter -> Referee Stoppage -> Title Defense! 

Nerma: OH COME ON! Paula couldn't win it on her out, so she used Wendy's rival Darkness Aoi to ensure a victory! Here?! At Victory Explosion?! Is that how you wanted to win Paula?! Is that how you want to be remembered?! Unbelievable! Wendy gave it her best, and here comes Lainey to even tell her so. I guess with Metal Rush you can't expect honor. If you have partners like Wendy does in Lainey, you BRING THEM TO THE RING! *sigh* Xcite, you're up I guess. 

Apple Kid: Oh we are. We definitely are! We have-

Tali Mach: Paula is a mark for herself.

Apple Kid: Huh?

Tali Mach: I just needed to get that out there.

Apple Kid: Right. We have our big big BIG EBW Championship battle up next. The match I've been dying to see! 

Larry Grim: That's right, Bashin Dan is getting his chance. The big test. Is he the Ace of Aces for the Xcite brand OR is Rama Raju going to continue his legendary dominant reign. This is going to be a battle for the ages, so buckle up!

Apple Kid: My chair doesn't have a seat bel-

Larry Grim: Not literally.

Apple Kid: Oh.

EBW Summer Memories

Week 1

Ted Pettentool: Well hello there EBW fans! It's me, your old pal Ted Pettentool! The reports of my death and zombification were greatly exaggerated. That was a guy named Tim Tettenpool. I was just taking a much needed vacation, but now I'm back and fired up! It's fun that I'm fine right? That's funny and interesting isn't it? Wow, what an incredible Summer it was for EBW right? I mean everything that happened after Victory Explosion 18! So much to cover! So much to talk about! It all started with a 3-Hour Xcite emanating from Zombie U! The brand new EBW Champion Bashin Dan was all smiles as he opened the show, but of course Colby Roads and The Story had to get involved. They wanted to rain on his parade, but former champ Rama Raju came out to back him up, and they agreed to take on the team later in the show. They recruited the Point Man, one half of the EBW Tag Team Champions to assist them. Jaden couldn't because he was taking part in the Xcite Championship Tournament, which was being held to crown a new champion, since Tack Angel has to keep the Jupiter Championship. Magnum PT returned early from an Edo trip to take part and beat Razorblade in a shocker to move on, but Razor wasn't the same after his recent match with Void. Seiya Kou, looking to move on from his feud with Mamoru, managed to beat Jaden Yuki to advance as well. Rey Dorado defended the CXJ Championship against his old rival Hooligan in a classic, but Johnny Starbound attacked after the match and demanded a rematch for the belt. Christina Angel and Tracy Angel-Garrett managed to beat Hilda and Gianna in a rematch for the EBW Women's Tag Team Championships, but it was fraught with chaos! Christina caught her pious and holy mother attempting to cheat on their behalf, while Hilda ended up walking out on Gianna! Bashin Dan led Rama Raju and Point Man against The Story and beat them. After the match, Rama Raju was asked what his plans are now that he had lost the title. He was about to speak when Takumi Inui approached him. He said the best way to recover from a loss was to find a new challenge, and challenged him for the next PPV event called "Revenge". They were going to call it "Tacklash", but that would have been a humorous poke and Tack, so….so well they didn't. 

Tack Angel: Hey, what's with that by the way? 

Ted Pettentool: Hey! Look everyone! It's the Pushpin Seraphim Tack Angel! 

Tack Angel: Yeah, that's me. How come you think I wasn't booked for that Xcite? 

Ted Pettentool: Well gosh Tack I don't know, but I heard you were worried about me. As you can see I'm totally fine! Isn't that great? 

Tack Angel: Yeah, it's great….everything is great…but I wasn't booked. 

Ted Pettentool: That might have put you in a situation you didn't want to be in. Instead, you can spend more time with Makoto. That's fun right? 

Tack Angel: Makoto was too busy as the EBW Women's Champion! I didn't get to see her as much as I would have liked. 

Ted Pettentool: Oh no! Maybe she should have vacated the title to pay more attention to you? 

Tack Angel: No! No….no…it's fine. Everything is….everything is great. Guess I'll just…I'll just go. Glad you're alive Ted. 

Ted Pettentool: We all love that guy! No one has a bad word to say about him! So in the main event of the night, Void took on Troy, in what was expected to be an intense battle. The Auditor and Preacher Ra made amends earlier in the show, and they vowed to work together to put the chaos back in the box, as it was too much for even them. Razorblade and Snakebite got involved in the match, and they all attacked Void. He won by DQ, but he wasn't easily subdued. This wasn't the kind of beatdown where he collapsed to the mat. He fought back, and actually sent SUFFER packing to the outside. That rivalry was FAR from over.

Ted Pettentool: On the Havok side of things, the Renegades returned to Metal Rush country in Onett, for a memorable night. It all started with Cade Yaggis getting a big reaction, despite where they were at. People were happy to see Cade on top. He promised to fight Metal Rush, in their home, and everywhere around the country, if it meant putting a stop to Rufus Poochyfud's plans of a takeover. Ness was nowhere to be seen that night, but Poo came out with Crono, and the VBW Champion made it clear that at Revenge, Crono was challenging Cade Yaggis for the belt. It was going to be "Trigger vs. Trigger". He also said that he didn't know why Magus had appeared to help Trevor, but he had gotten himself lumped into the punishment that was to come. Another match was set up, where Trevor and Magus would join forces to take on Poo, Grind, and Seto Kaiba in a Handicap Match at Revenge. On to the matches, as Boz shockingly beat Dragon Shiryu clean, and really impressed in the process. He made it clear that he was there for the best challenges, and wanted to challenge anyone from Havok OR Metal Rush. He said he'd been working his way up to one opponent in particular, but for Poo to start watching his back. Firebrand X returned and made it clear he was a Renegade by beating "Heat Vacuum" Fighter Daron easily. He made no comment on his return.  Crono introduced a "new" finisher, when he, Poo, Grind, and Seto Kaiba beat a Dan Club Silver/Blood 4 Blood team up in 8-Man Tag action. The "Chrono Trigger" is just the "Knee Trigger", but ya know….done by Crono. Hazen returned to action as well and beat some sense into Ilya Fedorovich, trying to convince him they needed to reform the War Kings and go after the World Tag Team Championships. Sal Paradise and Boomtown disagreed, and claimed they wanted a rematch. Boomtown tried to apologize to Sal in the process, but Sal told him this wasn't the end, and just like with LoveKick! they'd bounce back and reclaim what belonged to them. In the main event Hope Mach, Wendy Mustang, and Lainey Strong beat EBW Women's Champion Paula, Darkness Aoi and Mitra Lennox, when Hope Mach tapped out Mitra with the Lebell Lock. After the match, she challenged Paula, but so did Wendy, and shockingly so did Darkness Aoi! The EBW Women's Championship scene had just gotten WAY more interesting!

Ted Pettentool: We moved onto The Storm that week, as Subculture thwarted Fighter Daron in a Bushido Rules match. Afterwards, he was attacked by Grind, who wanted a piece of him next week on Havok. During the show Amigo held a memorial service for the career of Mike Thunder. Television Champion Zyro Kurogane and Isiah Muscle crashed the party, and both made it clear they wanted to take on Amigo, but Isiah was calling dibs for Revenge. How appropriate! Lainey Strong pulled off an upset on Val Dorado in the second match, while "Judas Wolf" Heather Mach re-emerged for the first time since joining Metal Rush. She made quick work of Cherry Akintola, and said for anyone doubting her intentions, her next move would put those doubts to rest. In the main event, Xcite invaded for a Senshi Championship Match! EBW Women's Champion Makoto Kino led the Sailor Sensations against Hope Mach, Dem Girlz, and the Gamer Girlz. Former EBW Women's Champion Erica appeared and attacked Makoto, ending the match in a DQ win for the Sensations, but she ensured that Makoto wouldn't find more championship success!

EBW Summer Memories

Week 3

Ted Pettentool: Welcome back to EBW Summer Memories, where we look back at the crazy Summer we had! It worked so well last year. Something about this time of the year requires a recap! Go figure! So we had one week left before Revenge, and the action amped up. It all started with a 3-Hour Xcite in the Dusty Dunes Desert's EFL Training Field. It was a SCORCHER that night, so Tack Angel wasn't booked because he doesn't like hot weather.

Tack Angel: Hey! I mean that's true and all, but I really wouldn't mind being booked. I don't get paid as much if I don't work, and I was going into Revenge one half of the EBW Tag Team Champions with Point Man!

Ted Pettentool: As it turns out, you didn't go into Revenge at all! Another show they thought you might want to miss, to avoid bad things happening. That's nice right? 

Tack Angel: …I've got everything I ever wanted. *sigh* It gave me time to train with and encourage Makoto, so that was nice. I could not be more proud of her, especially having to focus on Erica wanting a rematch, while Queen Beryl was making her presence felt on Xcite! It was-

Ted Pettentool: Sorry Tack, I'm told by Steve we need to move along, we don't want to waste your time. You should go watch the Olympics. 

Tack Angel: The Olympics are over! 

Ted Pettentool: Oh what a shame! Sorry buddy! So the show opened with Hilda Iceheart, in new gear explaining her decision to walk out on 3Queens!

-



Hilda Iceheart: Quiet everyone! Quiet! Normally, I don't care about your reactions to me. You booed me and called me a lackey, but I didn't care. Tonight, I want you to listen. For too long, I have been shackled in the shadows, a force of nature held back by mere mortals. The Mad Queen Erica, with her fury, with her madness, she thought she could control the storm. She thought she could outshine me, but let me make this crystal clear: you cannot outshine the sun. And then there's the Princess, Gianna Rambaldi, the so-called jewel of Euroland. A princess pampered in palaces, wreathed in silk and velvet, thinking she can step into my domain, thinking she can hold a candle to the frozen fury that I am. But I am no longer content to be second to anyone. I am not your queen; I am a goddess among mortals. I am Shiva in human form, the embodiment of destruction and rebirth. The cold, unyielding force that strips away all that is weak and leaves only the strongest to survive. I have walked among you, bided my time, but now… now, I am ready to let the frost consume everything in its path. Erica, your madness may have held me back, but it was only fuel for the glacier that is my wrath. And Gianna, your golden crown will shatter into dust when it meets the ice of my will. I was tired of waiting, tired of being the force behind the throne. No more. The time for Ice Queen Hilda Iceheart has come. I will freeze your kingdoms, shatter your reigns, and when the frost clears, the only name that will be spoken, the only force that will be feared, is mine.

-

Ted Pettentool: A lot of confidence for Hilda, and she showed it in the ring. Erica and Gianna watched on as she hit a Flipping Neckbreaker on Ami Mizuno to pin her for a decisive victory. I thought I saw some wires come out of Ami, but I'm told to remind everyone she is NOT a robot. What a weird thing to say. Hmmm. Tower and Kiva crossed paths in a HUGE size difference in the Xcite Championship Tournament. Tower was actually caught off guard by Kiva's offense, and he chopped him down to size, but the big man beat Kiva by catching him off the top rope and hit the Jackknife Powerbomb for the pin. Queen Beryl made her singles debut against Apple Kid's favorite wrestler that's not Minako Aino, even though I'm pretty sure we know she is. Sailor V stood in the way of Beryl, as she wanted a match against Usagi or Makoto, doing her job as a protector and guardian. Beryl was surprisingly competent in the ring. She was ruthless, but she played by the rules, toying with Sailor V. She threatened to kick Artemis the cat, which distracted V long enough for Beryl to slam her to the mat, before introducing her to her boot, which she demanded she kiss, before hitting the Curb Stomp for the pin. After the match, Beryl spoke for the first time. Wanna hear it? I sure do!

-

Queen Beryl: Foolish girls, do you even comprehend the power that stands before you? I am Queen Beryl, the ruler of the Dark Kingdom, the mistress of nightmares, and the eternal thorn in the side of those wretched Sailor Scouts! Or should I say… the Sailor Sensations? Yes, I know them well, those glittering fools who dared to challenge me, who thought they could thwart my plans time and time again. They believed their light could extinguish my darkness. But I have returned, and this time, the stars align in my favor. The threads of destiny that once bound them, that once gave them strength, have been severed. And with them, so has their precious hope. You see, the Sailor Sensations, those once-unstoppable warriors of light, are now nothing but fractured echoes of their former selves. Their power is waning, their bonds broken. And without their unity, without their guiding star, they are ripe for destruction. This is no longer the world where they triumphed over evil—this is a new era, and in this era, Queen Beryl reigns supreme! I have come to EBW for one purpose and one purpose only, to finish what I started. The Sailor Sensations may have escaped my grasp before, but now they will fall. I will crush their spirits, shatter their will, and take my rightful place as the ruler of all. This time, there is no moon princess to save them, no silver crystal to protect them. There is only the cold, relentless darkness that I command! So let the Sailor Sensations prepare themselves for the inevitable, let them feel the fear creeping into their hearts, for Queen Beryl has arrived. I am the darkness that will consume their light, the storm that will drown their hope. And when the dust settles, when the final blow is struck, the world will know that there is no power in the universe that can withstand my wrath!

-

Ted Pettentool: Yikes! That's all I can say! That was a shocker, but another shocker occurred in the next match. Colby Roads challenged former EBW Champion Rama Raju to a singles match before his title shot at Revenge, and everyone expected Raju winning with the Burning Arrow, but anything can happen in EBW! CP Munk refused to help Colby, but Rod and Randy were more than willing. Randy no Kachi attempted a No Kachi Cutter on Raju, but he was tossed out of the ring. Rod used an actual rod to hit Raju over the head, which allowed Colby to roll up The Fire for the tainted pinfall victory. Bashin Dan made the save, and demanded that Colby fight fair at Revenge, reminding him that if he loses he doesn't get another shot at the EBW Championship. Rama Raju said he'd be in Dan's corner, and he'd made sure it would be one-on-one. Snakebite and Johnny Starbound mixed it up in another clash of styles in the Xcite Championship Tournament. Another Void sighting against members of Suffer, allowed Johnny Starbound to blindside Snakebite, and pinned him after the 450 Splash. SUFFER continued to uh…SUFFER at the hands of Void, as they more and more had to be regretting unleashing him upon the Xcite Brand. The main event of the night would see EBW Women's Champion Makoto Kino take on Gianna Rambaldi, with the winner getting to choose the stipulation for the title rematch at Revenge. Makoto Kino and Gianna had a competitive match, in which Erica did try to get involved, but she found Hilda Iceheart getting in her way. Makoto hit the Supreme Thunder Driver on Gianna to win, and after the match, she announced that she'd take on Erica inside of a STEEL CAGE! Revenge just got a whole lot more interesting at that point!

Ted Pettentool: The Renegades hit the beach for some summer fun, LoveBoom! opened the show with a one sided victory over Dougie Mach and Fighter Daron. Daron has been chasing the high of that one time he got a reaction, and that's not been helping him win any matches, as he continues breaking the rules for cheap boos. Sal hit the Perfect Sky off the top, and Dougie didn't seem focused enough to stop it, as the former tag champs got the win. After the match Hazen and Ilya Fedorovich blindsided LoveBoom! They made their return as the War Kings official, and said that they would take the #1 Contender spot for Euroland, and that Metal Rush better watch their backs. Speaking of Metal Rush, the VBW Champion Poo took on Jammer in a match for the belt. VBW continues to protest the use of their belt, because Poo never goes to VBW events, nor does he defend against VBW wrestlers. Jammer promised to do so, but it wouldn't happen on this night. Thanks to interference from Seto Kaiba, Jammer went through a table with a Starstorm OMEGA and was pinned. A tough loss for Jammer, who wants to reignite his career, and reach the heights that Bashin Dan is enjoying on the other side. Benjamin got a taste of that success, but not like he had hoped, as he faced Zyro-K for the EBW Television Championship. The Mystic Bout Machine and Shogun Steel were tearing it up, as they're both guaranteed to do, but Amigo got involved when the ref wasn't looking as Benji got his foot tied up in the ropes. Amigo hit Zyro-K with a Hagen on the outside and tossed him back into the ring. Benji, not seeing the attack hit the Masamune stalled brainbuster on Zyro-K for the pin, the win, and the Television Championship. After the match, Benji saw the replay, and promised Kurogane a rematch. Oh here is Benjamin now!

Benjamin: Thank you. I saw this and remembered the feeling. I felt like I had broke through complacency and- and- I'm sorry, but how is it we are seeing the matches we already had. I've never quite figured that out. 

Ted Pettentool: But…you watch the product right? You're in the studios. You've seen the cameras.

Benjamin: Yeah, but…HOW do they work? 

Ted Pettentool: How do the cameras work? 

Benjamin: Yes. 

Ted Pettentool: Haha! That…that's a great question. You should ask a Lakitu. 

Benjamin: Hmmm. Anyways, I was getting tired of Metal Rush always interfering. It reminded me of a time not that long ago where I was challenging Tack Angel for the 5-Crown. Outside forces always seemed to get involved, which is weird because at night I have nightmares where it was Tack doing all that wicked stuff, but that's impossible. It was…outside…forces. Yes…I just want to be the best wrestler. I want to be a Warrior of Light in the ring. I wasn't happy with how this reign began, but I would hold the title with honor from that moment on and then I-

Ted Pettentool: Wait! You can't tell everyone! It's a spoiler! 

Benjamin: But it already happened. Wouldn't they have seen it? 

Ted Pettentool: Maybe some people didn't. 

Benjamin: Which is WHY we use the memory boxes held by the cloud people! 

Ted Pettentool: I feel like you're regressing. 

Benjamin: A little bit…a little bit. 

Ted Pettentool: Back to the matches! Hope Mach and Wendy Mustang joined forces against Paula and Darkness Aoi. Throughout the night, Darkness made it seem like she was fed up with Paula, much like Hilda was with Erica on the other brand. That turned out to be a ruse, as she pretended to side with Wendy before blasting her with the Darkness Bomber and pinning her for the win. The main event saw World Champion Cade Yaggis, Subculture, and Picky Minch take on Crono, Grind, and Seto Kaiba. A fantastic final match before revenge, marred in a little controversy, as Metal Rush threatened Master Lu on the outside, which distracted Subbie long enough for Crono to plaster him with the Chrono Trigger and pin him for the win. The momentum was on his side in the Trigger vs. Trigger main event of Revenge, which was coming in just a few days. The Metal Rush beatdown on Blood 4 Blood continued, until Trevor Mach and Magus ran out to make the save Magus stood face to face with Crono, before Cade Yaggis intervened and got in Crono's face, letting him know that he had dibs on the silent protagonist. Revenge was shaping up to be an incredible show!

Ted Pettentool: That brought us right into EBW: Revenge at the Twoson Fairgrounds, a favorite stomping ground for wrestling, and the perfect venue for this fantastic show. It opened up with a grudge match, as former tag partners fought it out. Hilda Iceheart's new attitude wasn't just for show. She had Gianna on the ropes here, and it took some doing for the Euroland Princess to even the odds, but eventually Hilda hit a Flipping Neckbreaker that ended the match with a victory for the human form of Shiva….apparently? I don't know how that works. Isiah Muscle was up next, avenging himself and his father in a battle with Amigo. Mike was sitting in the crowd, for the first time he was there as a fan, and not as a wrestler to cheer his son on. Amigo would goad Mike on to get into Isiah's head. Amigo's confidence was through the roof after ending Mike's career, and try as he might, the youngster couldn't land his Muscle Buster attempt on Amigo. Amigo landed a series of Hagen Suplexes to end the bout. LoveBoom! took on the reformed War Kings in a tag match to determine who would take on Metal Rush next for the World Tag Team Championships. The War Kings showed little to no ring rust as a unit, and Boomtown was introduced to their combination of strikes from Ilya, and wear down slams and holds from the tall and imposing Hazen. Boomtown stepped up his game here, and didn't back down from Hazen, escaping the DVD and coming back strong with a Here Comes the Boom! on the big man, but Ilya took him out of the game. The War Kings wore down Sal Paradise, but couldn't keep him down for the count until Ilya hit him in the back of the head with a pair of brass knuckles, allowing Hazen to hit the Wrist Clutch DVD for the pin. I-

Tack Angel: You know I made the WRIST CLUTCH a big deal right? I did that. Haha! I sure wish I could do it again. I miss wrestling for the fans! 

Ted Pettentool: Hey! We miss you too Tack! Did you speak with Swift about being booked? If you tell him you're upset about not being booked, I'm sure he'll put you in any match you want. 

Tack Angel: Yeah…uh…he said that…since things were going so well…that creative…had nothing for me. I mean what does that even mean? HE'S creative! He books the matches! Look, this is just really starting to get weird to me. I have everything I ever wanted and yet, I'm still bothered that I'm not mixing it up in the ring! Magnum PT came back and I was actually looking forward to having to tell him I wasn't a fan of his mullet…but he hasn't said a word to me since coming back! He's apparently "respecting my space and privacy!" Why is a nice gesture bothering me? I don't get it….I just…don't…get it.

Ted Pettentool: And there he goes. It's a weird time for the Pushpin Seraphim. We all wish him the best, because he's a hero to so many, and we all only want good things for him. A DREAM MATCH came next, as Rama Raju took on Takumi Inui. This one I really was looking forward to. I even called in to see if I could get tickets, and that's when they found out I wasn't actually dead! So I got to sit in the front row for this one. Look! There I am! What an amazing showdown. Takumi has always been one of the best, but he didn't seem to have a lot of ambition of being EBW Champion. That seemingly changed now that he's in a committed relationship with a sweet lady named Mari who runs a laundry service. He said something about his life line being extended? Not sure what he meant by that, BUT he was in top form against the former EBW Champion. Raju had only been pinned twice in his career so far. One was the culmination of a year-long journey for himself and Bashin Dan, and the other was a cheap stolen fluke by Colby Roads. This match however…would lead to his THIRD fall. Takumi escaped a Burning Arrow, and with a flick of the wrist, he set up Raju for the Rider Kick followed by the Crimson Smasher, and he actually pinned Rama Raju for the 1-2-3! A clean win, a shocking win! Another show of respect after the match, as Raju shook hands with Takumi and raised his hand. I think it was safe to say that Takumi Inui just made himself #1 Contender for the EBW Championship. That was followed by the Women's World Championship 4-Way match. Talk about your frantic, chaotic brawls. It played out like a tornado tag for most of the match, but Hope and Wendy were willing to mix it up, and Hope was really on fire for the match. However, a crucial moment left fans confused on top of being happy. Confused yourselves? I'll explain. Paula found herself on the outside. Hope had a chance to hit the Olympic Slam on Darkness Aoi, but instead jumped out onto Paula, holding her down as Wendy was left to SMAAAASSSH Darkness Aoi with the Front Flipping Lariat. 1-2-3, and not only did she beat her rival, but she claimed the Women's World Championship! Now, she didn't pin Paula, and Hope took herself out of the equation for some reason. That is what had everyone confused, but they couldn't help but celebrate as Lainey Strong ran out and grabbed the belt to give to Wendy. Paula shot a look of disgust at Hope as she walked away. A lot to unpack there. We found out why she did what she did almost immediately though, as she gave a statement in the back.

-

Hope Mach: *signing while speaking* Let's just get this out of the way. I'm like my Dad, I don't like leaving things to linger. If I had hit the Olympic Slam on Aoi, then Wendy would have broken it up, and Paula would have gotten back into the ring. This was the way to get the title off of Paula. She wanted Wendy to get her hands dirty and sink to her level, but she didn't. I was willing to in this case, and I'm not bothered by that for a sec-

Paula: You're a disgrace. You make me sick. You handed her a title she didn't deserve! 

Hope Mach: *signing while speaking* She deserved it, when she rightfully had your number at Victory Explosion. I was righting your wrong. You're a hypocrite, and you hide behind cheap tricks to maintain this illusion that you're the best. You're not the best. You're not better than me. You're not worthy of being Women's World Champion! 

Paula: Spare me the speech Hope, and don't bother reading my lips. You can hear me. I'm talking directly into your mind. I want you to hear this. You're asking to be humbled, and you WILL be dealt with. If it's not your Mom, it's you. What a joke of a family. 

Hope Mach: …..

-

Ted Pettentool: The next match saw Bashin Dan put his EBW Championship on the line for the first time against Colby Roads. Roads was riding a high after a pin on Raju, though it was obviously a tainted victory. Would that translate into another win tonight? Jaden Yuki kept the Heel Besties away outside, and Hope Mach made another appearance, using the joint show to her advantage to see her fiance, and pulled the wig off of Colby's market tested wife, who also tried to get involved. Bashin Dan kicked out of the Cheese Grater, and came back with the Brave Clash, the winning card as it were, and beat Colby Roads, ensuring he never gets another shot at the EBW Championship. Colby expected the fans to give him sympathy and feel bad for him, but they just sort of laughed at him. After the match, things got exciting though, when Takumi made it clear that he wants to be the next one to challenge for the EBW Championship. Wow, is THAT a big match or what!? After the match, a shocking event took place, as Hope went to the back one again, and found herself jumped by none other than Heather Mach! "Judas Wolf" Heather Mach busted Hope open, as Paula watched on smiling. She told her that she didn't like to let things linger either, and was more than happy to make her regret her actions immediately. Rhea Rampage showed up to fight off Heather, and she and Dougie helped up Hope as Dan ran in to check on her and Trevor appeared to question what his cousin was doing. We then saw a meeting take place between The Auditor and Preacher Ra. Let's take a look back at that!

-

Preacher Ra and The Auditor were sitting in their dark chamber, with Troy looking furious in the background. 

Preacher Ra: This all started with a dream, a dream of suffering and pain, bringing about a new understanding of the limits of the human experience. 

The Auditor: Quite an exquisite idea too, but then you unleashed Void again, and this time he's not on our side. This time he opposes us. This is confusing. It vexes us to no end. 

Preacher Ra: You sided with him when he split from SUFFER, and I can understand why, but that's in the past. The future will not exist for us if we do not stop this. We must beat him, and find out why he opposes us, and then seal him away forever. Void must not come back. 

The Auditor: He is truly a menace, but I have found a resource that may be useful to us. In a previous life…let's call it that…this resource was lost to us, but things changed, and when they changed I did lose some of myself, which to be honest the feeling of loss turned out to be exquisite. Through that feeling I set out to find the monsters of this new world, and I indeed found one worthy of us. 

Preacher Ra: If it is who I think it is, let's hope it's not needed. Troy should be able to get the job done tonight. 

Troy: That little FA*bleep*T is DEAD MEAT!

-

Ted Pettentool: Next up, Void took on Troy in a No Rules Match, and that was a bloodbath to say the least. Troy went all out to punish Void, and got some blood gushing from under the mask, but Void kept coming. The fans were actually on his side, with chants of Void, which has been growing as of late. Void wore down Troy, and had him trapped, when an errant Punt Kick left Troy trapped in the ropes. As Void laid in shot after shot, that brought out Razorblade and Snakebite, but they were cut off by Jammer and Benjamin, who held them back long enough for Void to hit the Chaos Theory on Troy, and pinned him for the win. It was wild to see Jammer and the Television Champion save Void, but they would later say it just felt like the right thing to do, as if Void was a spirit of vengeance in this case, but one going after "the bad guys". With all of SUFFER beaten by Void, this left Ra and The Auditor with seemingly no choice as they seemed hesitant to unleash their "monster" but his appearance shocked the wrestling world. Long thought dead, that was not the case as the monster was none other than….



Ted Pettentool: KYO! The mad demon himself was back on the scene. A monster to kill a monster, and it wasn't even October yet! The next match saw Makoto Kino defend the EBW Women's Championship against Erica in a Steel Cage rematch. The cage was meant to keep out Gianna and Queen Beryl, it also meant that Makoto was trapped in the cage with a vicious and desperate Erica. Erica wanted her title back in the worst way, and with Queen Beryl cackling on the outside, it looked like she'd get her way, but Usagi Tsukino brought out the Sailor Sensations, along with Seiya Kou and even Mamoru Chiba. Mamoru's presence seemed to distract Beryl, and Makoto's friends reached her with their cheers. She staged a comeback, leading to Erica trying to win via Cage Escape. Makoto had to beat her to the floor, and narrowly did so thanks to her leggy advantage. Makoto retained the title. In the semi-main event, Trevor Mach and Magus teamed up for the first time to take on Poo, Grind, and Seto Kaiba in a Handicap Match, designated by Poo after Trevor lost the Bushido Den bout to Crono. It was going to be an uphill battle for the pairing of Trevor and Magus, and would they be able to co-exist as a team. Having spent years on opposing sides, the two fought like a well oiled machine against the Metal Rush team, seemingly ruining Poo's plans of killing two birds with one stone. They targeted the spoiled rich kid Seto Kaiba, and Magus beat him after a Scythe x Dark Bomb combo for the victory. After the match, Ness re-emerged for the first time since losing the World Championship. He stared down Magus, but he was not alone. Standing next to him was a woman that was familiar to Magus, very familiar. It was his sister Schala! Check it out!

-

Magus: Schala? Schala?! What are you doing here? What are you doing…with them? 

Schala: Janus…brother…it's time to stop this. It's time to come home. Lavos is dead. This is not the work of the Lavos. It was sent to the Darkness Beyond Time. This? It's a simple petty feud that you need not get involved in. Please brother…come home. 

Magus: …..

-

Ted Pettentool: It was main event time, and Trigger vs. Trigger, with Cade Yaggis defending his World Championship against Crono, who had been on an absolute tear through the roster, and a big win at Victory Explosion 18. This was the match to see, and it delivered. A back and forth frantic match, with Cade showing he had the goods to take on the legends. However, it would be a big main event without chaos on the outside now would it? We sort of thrive on that sort of thing don't we? Schala re-appeared on the outside, seemingly to try and talk sense into Crono, but her gaze seemed to empower him, which is something could technically be a DQ worthy offense if the ref could quantify it? I don't know, it's above my pay grade. This brought Magus back out, who tried to reach out to his sister, but something pushed him back, and hard! She let the mask slip, but seemed caught off guard by what she had done and quickly ran away. None of that confusion could derail the excellent match in the ring. Having trained with Trevor, Cade had a tool up his sleeve to beat Crono. He managed to block the Chrono Trigger, and hit a Spinebuster of the silent protag, before setting him and hitting the Cadebreaker for the pin and the victory! Cade Yaggis survived the second challenge from Metal Rush and retained hit title to close out a WILD show, and a WILD month in EBW!

EBW Summer Memories

Week 4

Ted Pettentool: Hey hey EBW fans, it's Ted Pettentool back with MORE Summer Memories of EBW! The Summer season was getting HOT, and what better way to show that off, than by announcing the next big EBW event would be called "Feel the Heat", and it would take place in Reefside, after Summers the city, denied them access citing the presence of "Too Many Machs", so that made the choice easy for Swift and Darius I guess. Their war of words and edicts behind the scenes has been building up too. Swift wanted to know just who Darius Grouch really is, but that whole thing is above my paygrade! I'm just here to tell you about all the exciting action that happened in the fall out of Revenge! The show would open with the announcement by Swift, that Havok was sending one of their deadliest weapons in Dragon Shiryu to try and claim Fourside. After he flipped his table, he decided that he was going to use his strongest weapon to fight him off, in EBW Champion Bashin Dan. The Dangerous Player versus THE Dragon Shiryu? On free television?! What a match! 

Jackson Kain: Whoa whoa whoa, don't get so caught up in the main event, when the real star attractions-

Mav Valentine: Are right here baby! 

Ted Pettentool: The Superstars Jackson Kain and Mav Valentine! Wow, what are you guys doing here, and can I get an autograph, and a part in your next movie maybe?

Jackson Kain: Sure Teddy Bear, that's not gonna be a problem. We're just here to let everyone know that our new movie Justice Seekers 2 will be out in just a couple of days! 

Mav Valentine: And more to the point, we wanted to take this opportunity to say that we're both going to be in E1 Climax baby! The question is, is one of us going in as the first ever Xcite Champion? 

Ted Pettentool: Hey! Spoilers! Yes, Mav and Jackson are IN the tournament, but we haven't got there yet…in fact we're getting there now! The first match on the show saw Mav beat Sabre of the Eagleland Gladiators to advance in the Tournament! 

Mav Valentine: That dude's arms felt as solid as steel, but the Mav Buster put him down all the same. Anyone worrying about my physical health, worry no longer. I'm in great shape! I feel great! 

Jackson Kain: And I look great! I also win later! 

Ted Pettentool: Hey! You guys! Come on! I got a job to do here. Yeesh! The second match on the card saw Jaden Yuki make a move for recognition with a solid match with Rey Dorado. The CXJ legend flipped out of a GX Factor attempt and hit the Doradorana followed by a perfect Moonsault for the win and title defense! The Sailor Sensations were up next and-

Usagi Tsukino: HEY! I got something to say! 

Ted Pettentool: Usagi? 

Usagi Tsukino: I want everyone to know that I may have overslept, and was in a hurry on this night so I wasn't at my best! 

Luna: Oh Usagi, the past is in the past. You have to let it go. 

Usagi Tsukino: I was supposed to be the Queen ya know? I was supposed to be royalty, but I chose love, and now I find my back to the wall, because destiny isn't on my side? Just because I don't have the crystal anymore? Who DOES have that crystal anyways?

Earth-5

Tack o' Dark: Achoo! 

Maid Korra: Bless you King! 

Tack o' Dark: Thank you Korra. I didn't hurt you just now did I? 

Maid Korra: No sir, I've trained to be your foot rest! 

Tack o' Dark: Good….good.

-

Ted Pettentool: So yeah, the Sensations lost their match to Queen Beryl, Erica, and Gianna Rambaldi, but it was Minako who took the fall. She has been having the most trouble, having to split her time between wrestling and filming season 14 of the hit FlixNet show Minako in Euroland. Then we got to Jackson Kain's match, where he did indeed beat out the hot headed Turbo in the Xcite Championship Tournament. Hilda Iceheart continued to show she wasn't messing around anymore, as she faced off with Christina Angel in a #1 Contenders match for Makoto's EBW Women's Championship. It was such a good match, back and forth all the way, but just as it was really heating up or…freezing up…cause Hilda…Erica jumped in and attacked both competitors, leading to a No Contest. Makoto came out to help them both, but Hilda pushed her back, and then attacked Erica herself. It was bedlam, people! BEDLAM! Then we had a backstage message from SUFFER. Want to see it? Check it out!

?

In a dark room, Preacher Ra, The Auditor, Razorblade, Troy, Snakebite, and KYO stood, barely visibly. 

Preacher Ra: Once upon a time, I found myself a creature of simple pleasures. Psychedelics and what not. Kept me mellow, kept my head in the clouds, but then I found deeper darker pleasures, and I wanted to share them with you all. I even unleashed a monster. Void, you came back because of us. We control your destiny, and yet you're trying to destroy us? You didn't know how far we would go to stop you, but here we are. If it takes a monster to kill a monster….so be it. KYO is back from Hell, and he's going to tear your soul apart!

-

Ted Pettnentool:  The main event saw Bashin Dan take on Dragon Shiryu. EBW Championship #1 Contender Takumi Inui watched very closely, as he had made a name for himself with his initial match with Shiryu, and he had a huge match up just ahead against Bashin Dan. This was Sengoku Rules, for the Fourside territory, so the EBW Champion has extra weight on his shoulders here. He actually lost the first fall when Shiryu hit his famous Rozan Shoryu-Ha and sent the champ out of the ring for a Count Out, but he was close to getting back in on time. That's something no one else has been able to say. Shiryu wanted to pin Dan for the next fall, and hoisted him up, but Dan transitioned into a surprise Victory Roll for the pin, which surprised Shiryu, as that was a new trick from Dan, adding more cards to his deck. The final pin came when Dan escaped a Dragon Suplex attempt and set Shiryu up for the Brave Clash, hitting it square in the middle of the ring for the 1-2-3. Xcite was victorious, as Dan and Shiryu shook hands, the Ring Saint promising that next time, he'd be more determined, and he might just bust out the "Gold Cloth". I'd love to see that!

Ted Pettentool: We moved onto Havok, where the brand warfare continued! Swift send The Story to come and claim the World Team Championship Rings and The Storm from the Renegades. They'd meet Blood 4 Blood in the main event, but the World Champion Cade Yaggis, wasn't just focused on that match. He opened the show and thanked the crowd for all the support in his match against Crono, which was great by the way, and wanted to call the shot on his next title defense. He was ready to call out Zyro Kurogane, when Amigo came out and said that Metal Rus wasn't going to allow the title to stay out of their hands, so they sent the career killer, and son slayer Amigo. Zyro-K hit the scene and the two fought back and forth as Renegade Security tried to calm the situation. Zyro and Amigo would have a match later on in the show as well. A funny little thing happened in the back after that. Want to see it? Let's take a look! 

Backstage

Benjamin and Lainey Strong were sitting together, as she decided to speak her mind on something. 

Lainey Strong: So hey, you know how Dan and Hope are engaged? 

Benjamin: Indeed they are. It's a wonderful thing. Fills me with happiness for my friends to know they're going to be marr-

Lainey Strong: When are you going to pop the question to me? 

Benjamin: HUH?! 

Lainey Strong: I mean we've been seeing each other for quite some time now. 

Benjamin: Indeed we have, and while I love and adore you as a companion on my adventure, these things are normally done AFTER the adventure is over! 

Lainey Strong: What do you mean? What adventure?

Benjamin: The quest we're on right now! 

Lainey Strong: Wrestling?

Benjamin: Yes! When it's all over, we settle down, have kids, and never adventure again. We basically have the one exciting thing that we do, and then we're done. Except for my old friend Adol…he just keeps going…all that amnesia. 

Lainey Strong: Well what about Dan and Hope! They're engaged NOW! 

Benjamin: And it does trouble me a bit! My old friend Maxim got married in the middle of his adventure, and the enemy abducted his children! 

Lainey Strong: Who are the old friends I don't know about?

Benjamin: From my previous life, before I ended up here you see. 

Lainey Strong: You never talk about that alot. 

Benjamin: OH! Well I beat a vile fiend named Dark King! 

Lainey Strong: Then what? 

Benjamin: Hmm?

Lainey Strong: Then what happened?

Benjamin: Uh…more adventures? Great soundtrack? 

Lainey Strong: Did you ever…find someone you wanted to end your adventure with?

Benjamin: Ummm…

Lainey Strong: I knew it! You WERE with someone, weren't you? 

Benjamin: Temporarily so! Like I said, I was on more adventures, but I was trying to finally settle down and start a family, as I wasn't a young man anymore. 

Lainey Strong: You were 19 when you joined EBW. 

Benjamin: Yes, my youth was behind me. 

Lainey Strong: You're 26. 

Benjamin: My youth was so fleeting. 

Lainey Strong: Oh brother. This ain't Edo Benji! 

Benjamin: I went to a far off Kingdom, and I slayed a vicious dragon. Then…I went to the throne room to meet the King.

Farburg Kingdom - Earth-92

Benjamin entered the throne room and bowed before the King. 

King Farburg: Welcome Sir Benjamin, Warrior of Light and slayer of the Dark King. 

Benjamin: Tis an honor 

King Farburg: Good job killing that dragon, even though no one asked you to, but thank you. 

Benjamin: Huh? Well, I was just doing my job and all. Haha! 

King Farburg: Well, I can not let that heroism go unrewarded. You will now meet my daughters three, and choose one of them to be your bride? 

Benjamin: Wha? Seriously? Well uh…alright then. It will be hard to choose. Surely one of them will be more beautiful than the rest….or knowing MY luck…one will be weird. 

King Farburg: Excuse me? 

Benjamin: *shrug* Nevermind, don't worry about it!

The three daughters came in, one with black hair, one brunette, and one blonde. They were all in fancy dresses and appealing to the eye. 

Benjamin: Uh…fair maidens! So cool to see you! 

King Farburg: This is Lucillia. 

Lucillia: Tis an honor to stand before you Hero of Light. 

Benjamin: Wow. Okay, I love that. 

King Farburg: My second daughter Regalia. 

Regalia: I know not what to say, and yet I feel not frightened my hero. 

Benjamin: Gooood…gooood. Makes sense. 

King Farburg: And my third daughter Blondelia. 

Blondelia: …Hey. 

Benjamin: Okaaay. Is that it? 

Blondelia: Nice to…uh…meet you! 

Benjamin: Right? Okay. Sure. 

King Farburg: Is everything alright? 

Benjamin: I just thought I'd find something messed up about her, because there are three of them. Normally I find one is pretty, one is smart, and one of them has something really really wrong with them. It's like clockwork, it happens all the time, like some sort of messed up joke. 

King Farburg: I'm afraid I don't understand. Why don't you tell him your hobbies, my daughters. 

Lucillia: I love the harpsichord. 

Regalia: I love dancing! 

Blondelia: I love the harpsichord AND dancing. Yep. 

Benjamin: Ah! Is that why she's the weird one? Cause she copied the other two? 

King Farburg: What are you talking about? 

Benjamin: I mean it's gotta be Blondelia , but I just can't figure out why! 

Blondelia: I like painting as well? Archery? I don't know what you want me to say. 

Benjamin: I'm sorry, it's just based on experience, the third one should have some weird thing about her! 

Lucillia: You know sometimes we are weird. We'll make jokes about ourselves, before anyone else can judge us. 

Regalia: Maybe it's because we have to jump through crazy hoops for heroes such as yourself, dragon dork. 

Blondelia: Maybe it's a metaphor or something, I don't know, I'm totally normal. 

Benjamin: I'm sorry ladies. Forgive my apprehension. I can't help but choose Blondelia. She worried me, cause of the third daughter thing, but she is the most beautiful and she's seemingly quite normal. I still fear there is a catch. 

King Farburg: Ah, but isn't that love Sir Benjamin? 

Benjamin: I guess you are right, noble King. 

King Farburg: Huzzah! Sir Benjamin and Blondelia will be together…FOREVER!

-

Lainey Strong: …So what happened?

Benjamin: Succubus…she was a succubus. 

Lainey Strong: Ah. 

Benjamin: And she had a tail. I don't know how I missed that. 

Lainey Strong: So, I guess I'm not your first love eh?

Benjamin: You are the first true love I've ever known. You weren't given to me by a King, and you actually love me enough to drive me places and feed me when I forget how the oven or microwave works. 

Lainey Strong: Attacking them with a sword is NEVER the answer. 

Benjamin: It worked that one time. 

Lainey Strong: I still don't know how that hap-

Benjamin: Do you wish to be my wife? 

Lainey Strong: *blush* Don't ask me now, idiot! It feels like you're only asking because I brought it up! 

Benjamin: I really don't know how this works! 

-

Ted Pettentool: Hey, how'd we get that footage from Benji's old home? Steve? Anyone? No? Not gonna tell me? Oh well. Firebrand X won the opener easily against Dougie Mach, who showed signs of aggression AFTER the match. Use that IN the ring Dougie. Haha! A frantic, 10-Lady Renegade bout took place, as new Women's World Champion Wendy Mustang assembled Lainey Strong, Hope Mach, Alison Chains, and Christy Angel to take on Metal Rush, now joined by "Judas Wolf" Heather Mach, who wore the Metal Rush colors proudly. She actually won the match too, hitting the Machbuster on a spaced out Alison Chains for the pin. After the match, Paula demanded that Hope assemble the Senshi Champions, because Metal Rush was going to take the titles, before she took back the World Championship she believed belonged to her. Wendy made it clear though, that the first shot at the title goes to Hope, for what she did at Revenge, but not for the obvious reasons. Her jumping out of the ring meant that she doubted she could do it on her own to Wendy, and she wanted to prove to Hope that she could. More Metal Madness in the next match, as Hotlanta and Generator put the titles on the line against the reformed War Kings, and in this one I had NO IDEA who we were supposed to cheer for! That wasn't an issue for long though, as the match was interrupted by Sal Paradise and Boomtown. This also brought out LoveBoom!'s partners in Jammer and Benjamin. Subculture and Picky Minch got involved too, and Kaiba and Grind ran out to help the Metal Rush team. It was chaos! A wild tag division there. Darius Grouch saw that they were all hungry for the titles, and so he said he'd plan something to announce at a later date. An incredible bout took place next, as-

Zyro Kurogane: ZYRO-K BEY-BEEEEEEY!!!

Ted Pettentool: Wow! It's Zyro-K everyone! Shogun Steel and Sex Appeal himself! 

Zyro Kurogane: That's my name and keep saying it! I love to hear it! You're right about this next match. I WOULD put it on the demo reel. I'm not saying I rewatch my own matches, but when I do, I put them on repeat on a giant television, while I'm eating ice cream in a hot tub. Like I said though I WOULD put it on there, but the problem is- Well? What would it be, Tedville? 

Ted Pettentool: Time Limit Draw?

Zyro Kurogane: TIME LIMIT DRAW! I had him pinned! The ref counted the three! 

Ted Pettentool: One second too late. 

Zyro Kurogane: Not if you take time zones into account! 

Ted Pettentool: I don't think that would make a differe-

Zyro Kurogane: Whatever! The point is we had a banger, but I feel like I got banged with that result. I went to the back and was like 'Where's that referee, he was try to-"

Ted Pettentool: Amigo made the claim that he had you tapping out though! 

Zyro Kurogane: Why do you have to bring up details like that?!  Huh? That was me reaching out a bunch of times in quick succession. Don't worry about that! Point is, I should've won that match! Make no mistake, what happened next was pretty sweet though. 

Ted Pettentool: That's right, Darius Grouch said that both you and Amigo would be challenging Cade Yaggis for the World Championship at Feel the Heat! 

Zyro Kurogane: Yaggis owed me one, and I owed Amigo a beating, so to me, that's JUST what Zyro-K needed, and boy…did let it ri-

Ted Pettentool: No spoilers! It's hard keeping a lid on all the results since this stuff already happened, but they all want to talk about it! This was a night of rough finishes, with a No Contest and a Time Limit Draw, but the main event WOULD get a result…with a little outside help. Magus said he would be in the corner of Blood 4 Blood, but a Schala appearance caugt him off guard, as Crono blindsided him. The two fought, while Amigo attacked Cade, and Poo attacked Trevor, throwing him into the steel steps. The workhorse with all the bad luck, Picky Minch ran afoul of The Story, after it WAS a one sided beating. Blood 4 Blood was putting the boots to Xcite invaders, but all the chaos happening lead to Picky getting hit with a No Kachi Cutter by RnK, and Colby blind tagged to pin Picky for the 1-2-3. Metal Rush assured that Blood 4 Blood lost the World Team Championship Rings, and Cade Yaggis suffered a blow before his Feel the Heat title defense. The Story ran out of the building as the Renegades all chased them off, but they now had the rings, which meant The Storm belonged to Xcite. A rough week for Havok.

Ted Pettentool: We end this recap of Summer Memories with The Storm. I was told Tack Angel wanted to be there, just like he wants to be here right now, but he was sent to a spa to relax and not do anything. That's fun right? I'm sure EBW Women's Champion Makoto went too, cause she's been working hard, and she probably gave him a massage in a bikini. That's what matters right? Tack doesn't need to worry about bad things happening or conflict in wrestling. We just like our hero getting to relax! That's totally fun right? The Xcite Championship Tournament continued with Magnum PT narrowly beating out Fray Tiburon, escaping Brainbuster to hit the Mustache Ride for the pin. A real resurgence for Magnum PT after his brief trip to Edo. When asked about what changed in that short time, he mentioned that during his last few trips to Edo, he had fallen in love with the daughter of his interpreter named Hiroko, and she felt the same, wanting to move to Eagleland to be with him. Love is a powerful element in EBW I've come to find. If someone was behind all of this, plotting a grand scheme or sorts, his MO would definitely involve love and family. However, after the match, Magnum PT was jumped by Colby Roads, LG Rod, Randy no Kachi, and CP Munk, who we're told is totally cool with Tack Angel now, and apologized for their feud, but he's still a nefarious chipmunk man…possibly. Colby made it clear that The Storm belonged to The Story, and they had him to thank for drawing the house. He said that his gimmick of wear a suit except when he was dressed like the Eagleland flag for some reason, was really paying off, and he even showed off a gaudy tattoo he got of his own face on his chest, with his nipple acting as the tear cause he was crying about his Dad. He then said his Dad always wanted to be the World Team Champion, even though the Rings didn't exist when he was wrestling…or even alive. Colby mocked PT and asked where "The Crew" was, before walking off laughing. Rough stuff. CP Munk continued The Story's good night with a narrow win over Seiya Kou, but only after interference by Randy no Kachi. It was then that Picky Minch of Havok jumped the guard rail and-

Picky Minch: I'll say what I did! It was simple, I didn't much care for the thought of being pinned by Randy no Kachi. I didn't much care for my World Team Championship Ring being on the finger of Randy no Kachi. I didn't much care for the smug look on the face of Randy no Kachi. I didn't care what show he was on, and I didn't care what was at stake from the brands. I just wanted to break his face and snap his freaking ankle! 

Ted Pettentool: …Picky Minch everybody! I wouldn't want to make him mad. He's the Ishihiro Tomo of EBW, at least that's what some people call him. In a #1 Contender match, Kiva returned from a trip back to Anahauc, as shown in a video package, where he was lamenting his time on the darkside, and wished to be a hero for children once and for all. I think we all forgave him already, cause wrestling fans sort of switch immediately like that, but I guess he needed more time to process his career. Besides, in a time where a lot of the old heroes are walking on the wildside, he's on the straight, narrow, and high altitude. He took on the cocky Johnny Starbound, who missed a 450 Splash after mugging too much, and Kiva wasted no time with the Kiva Dive to win the #1 Contender spot. Should be an exciting match in the future, seeing Rey Dorado taking on Kiva! The main event saw Point Man take on Colby Roads. Point Man was all by himself as he took on not just Colby, but The Story on the outside. Just as it looked like Point Man had Colby trapped in the Cobra Clutch, he was attacked by LG Rod, ending the match in a DQ. This luckily brought out Saxon and Novus to a huge pop! The Red Shirts fought off The Story and stood tall with Point Man to close the show. Great seeing those two back in a Security capacity, but we all know what the fans really want to see. They want a little reunion…of a crew…that wrecks….weekends? *wink*

EBW Summer Memories

Week 6

Ted Pettentool: Hey hey EBW fans! The Tedster back again with another installment of EBW Summer Memories! As we head into the waning months of Summer, we have to look back on what an eventful time it was in EBW, just like last year! It felt like it just RUSHED by, wish so much going on all at once! We're not even finished yet! However, we have a very important piece of business to discuss. Tack, wake up.

The Angel Express

Tack Angel: Huh? What? Huh? 

Rick Shaw: I said wake up buddy, we're almost there. 

Tack Angel: Where…is there? 

Rick Shaw: The next town of course! You and the Crew got your matches tonight. 

Tack Angel: I have a match? I'm booked? Wait…with the Crew?

Rick Shaw: That's right, and I promised Makoto that you'd be there early so you could see her. I think you and Double G are defending the tag belts tonight, isn't that right? 

Tack Angel: I knew it…I knew it! It WAS all a dream! I KNEW IT! THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! AHAHAHAHA! Yes Rick, I bet I DO have to team with Double G tonight, and you know what? I don't even mind! I'm just happy to be wrestling again! This is grea-

Rick Shaw: Wake up Tack. 

Tack Angel: Huh? What? OH N-

-

Ted Pettentool: Tack, you fall asleep backstage again buddy? 

Tack Angel: Huh?! Huh?! WHAT TED?! WHAT?! Yeah…*sigh* yeah it looks that way. Am I booked? 

Ted Pettentool: Nope! No one wants to-

Tack Angel: Give me any trouble. Right….right. Well, at least the Crew wasn't together like in my dream. 

Ted Pettentool: What? The Crew? Oh THAT Crew. It's funny you say that, because Xcite was interesting the week we're covering. You saw it right? 

Tack Angel: I wasn't booked. 

Ted Pettentool: Right. Well, it was the last Xcite before "Feel the Heat!" and the pressure was rising between some old members of "The Crew" and the new World Team Champions, "The Story". Adding to that friction was the appearance of one Mike Thunder, no longer allowed to wrestle or appear at Havok shows. Mike Thunder, one of the founders of the Weekend Wrecking Crew appeared in the crowd to watch the show, but that drew the ire of CP Munk, who mocked him before he went on to win a 2nd Round bout in the Xcite Championship Tournament against Fray Tiburon. The pious Lucha master and former Grapple uh…F-Word once upon a time, was tying Munk in knots, before Randy no Kachi and LG Rod got involved. A distraction on the outside led to the Go 2 Munk and the pin. Mike WANTED to jump the guard rail and get involved, but he couldn't do it. Things escalated in the next match as The Story once again meddled in affairs, robbing the fans of a clean bout between Colby Roads and Point Man, and in the process mocking another former member of the Crew. I bet that bothers you to hear all of that Tack.

Tack Angel: I was texting Makoto. What's going on? 

Ted Pettentool: Let's continue. Usagi Tsukino was in action next against Gianna Rambaldi. The Euroland Princess wanted to prove she was true royalty over the fakeness of a "Moon Queen", and shake off the results of the encounter from Ladies Night. Turns out, it ended exactly the same way. A Moon Spiral Heart gave Usagi another win. She has needed these wins. 

Tack Angel: Since Mamoru came to his senses it seems to have improved morale. I wouldn't know too much, since I haven't been a part of everything going on. I feel I really should be. I mean, this is the stuff I've been waiting to sink my teeth into and yet I'm nowhere near it. WHY?! 

Ted Pettentool: Cause something bad-

Tack Angel: -might happen. Right.

Ted Pettentool: After that last match, Jaden Yuki came out and asked to speak.

-

Tali Mach: Sorry that took so long folks, but I'm doing the interview for some dumb reason and that meant we had to get the chair into the ring. Seriously, you guys want to plan these things out better? I know why this is happening though. It's because I was caught on air telling a story, like it's MY fault when I'm not cut or censored! You knew what you were hiring Swift! Look, all I was doing was recounting the time Trevor asked if I preferred being top or bottom, and I said I was like a pancake! I ain't done until I'm flipped on both sides! What's the problem?! I was on a roll with that one! Hiyoooooo! Whatever! I'm joined by Jaden Yuki for some reason. Jaden, what do you want? 

Jaden Yuki: Yo yo yo! I've been peeping the situation involvin' The Story messing with 'Da Crew, and I figure it's high time I stop guessing and start messin'. Dan don't need me no more, but I see an opportunity to live out a dream! I saw that the OG Pimp Mike Thunder is in the da house, so I'd like to ask you to let him through security! I want to talk to him! 

Tali Mach: Alright, here he comes. Watch out Mike, you can't snatch me up like you used to. 

Mike Thunder: Wouldn't dream of it Ta-

Tali Mach: I'm serious, I will stab you, I'm in enough-

Mike Thunder: I'M SERIOUS! I WON'T DO IT! I don't even remember how I bought that flying clown thing! Think I got it from a used car lot! I'm here because the kid here asked! Now, what can I do for you? 

Jaden Yuki: Yo, so check this, I'm Jaden Yuki, and I'm absolutely FLAWLESS, but one thing I was lackin' on was friendship, and I know that YOU know a lot about the importance of friendship and loyalty. Well I got some friends too ya know? Not just the Dan Club boys, but guys like Point Man and PT as well. Yeah, we've gotten to know each other pretty well, and they've been trying to reach some of the other members of the Crew. They want to get that band back together, and Jaden Yuki wants on board! However, the glue isn't here. The glue that's gonna bring it all together is still nowhere to be seen, and we need him here! I know that you can't compete anymore, but if you were to send out the call, I bet we could have ourselves….a WEEKEND WRECKING CREW REUNION! Look OG, you got your career cut out from under you, but we got more work to do! Show the people you still know how to wreck the weekend, get this group back together and let me join! 

Mike Thunder: Ya know kid, I'm Mike Thunder. I'll NEVER forget how to wreck a weekend. I invented the concept! That name has some good memories and some bad, but considering I was a part of it, I'll consider it a name symbolic with excellence, and kid, you remind me enough of my son that I'm going to give you a free lesson. You don't get to join the Crew! You were chosen, and it was a high honor, for the wrestling party animals, who knew how to crush it in the ring, and then crush it at the party. 

Jaden Yuki: …I mean Dungaree Danson and Brunson Burn-

Mike Thunder: They were CHOSEN! They didn't get to just BE in the Crew. That's something that carried over from when I was there at the beginning. Almost as much as which ladies I wanted to spend the night with, I carefully picked the men I fought alongside. I think you're worthy though. Like I said, you remind me of my son. I think you'd be a great member of the Weekend Wrecking Crew. I think Bashin Dan, the EBW Champion, would be proud that you're branching onto your path! You're right though….the glue that holds the Crew together….he's not here. He's not booked. But don't worry…I still have the pull. I still have the numbers. I can make some calls. I can make something happen, because I don't much care for the stupid Story either. What even IS The Story? A second generation loser that road a wave of politicking and artificial hype to delude people into believing he was meant to finish something? He conned some of 'em apparently. Good for him. CP Munk? I still have NO idea WHAT he is. Rod and Randy? You guys…not AS bad….not AS bad. But yeah, you want it Jaden Yuki? You got it! Just….because what you wish for, cause you might just get it!

-

Ted Pettentool: That's right! Mike apparently set it up, and it's going to take place on this upcoming episode of Xcite before the big E1 Kickoff! It's going to be a Weekend Wrecking Crew Reunion! A "Re-Crewnion" as it's being called! 

Tack Angel: I'm sorry, but what did you just say?! A "Re-Crewnion"!? Do you have any idea how STUPID that sounds? 

Ted Pettentool: I didn't come up with the name! I personally think it's cool though. 

Tack Angel: Please don't make me argue with you Ted! I love you Tedster! I don't want any trouble. But then again…they called for glue right? I mean, they said the glue that holds it all together? Now that you mention it, it wasn't…SO bad having people watch my back, hold me up when I was feeling down, and help me achieve success along the way. This could be exactly what I need to get back into ACTION! Look out everyone, cause you might just see your favorite Pushin Seraphim at the Re-Crewnion! They want the glue, they gotta have it! You could say it's written in the stars! 

Ted Pettentool: Written in the stars? 

Tack Angel: …Wait, that's not something I say? What IS my catchphrase? Do I have one? 

Ted Pettentool: Your John Tack shirt had-

Tack Angel: No, it's definitely not that. Why would I have thought it had to do with….stars. I bet I know who I could ask. A name just popped into my head. Anyone seen Cadmus lately?

Ted Pettentool: And there he goes. I hope he figures that one out, cause that saying hit something deep in my brain, and sent a chill down my spine. Weird right? Uh…is that fun? I don't know. Magnum PT was one of the OGs of the Crew as well, and he was able to beat Johnny Starbound, an old rival from their EWA days. That promotion took a big hit after Top Tunes Timmy Drogan of the Crushing Mangos bought it out. PT moves on in the Xcite Championship Tournament, which is a great story for a man once plagued by losses and cursed belt pertaining to losses. A big main event in the night saw #1 Contender Takumi Inui take on Troy of SUFFER. EBW Champion Bashin Dan watched on, and actually watched the back of his future opponent, wanting the best match possible at "Feel the Heat!". KYO was lurking, waiting for a Void sighting, and the enigmatic man showed up. The whole point was for KYO to run defense for Troy, but Troy's hot headedness has kept him from true greatness for years, and things didn't change today. Same old song and dance in this case, cause he started calling Void things that I CAN NOT say, and ate a Crimson Smasher for his troubles, and was pinned. Takumi looked strong, Dan looked almost giddy for the DREAM match up we were about to get, and Void and Kyo were about to kill each other! I call that a successful night capper for the Xcite brand!

Ted Pettentool: The Havok side of things got off to a frantic start this week, when Subculture and Ilya Fedorovich had a Bushido Rules rematch, reigniting that rivalry big time. The kids these days say "run it back" and I don't get that. "Run it back". As if to say, do it again? "Let's do it again?" I think a word for that exists already. It's called rematch. I said it already. This was bowling shoe ugly folks. That's an old timer phrase too. I'm sure the kids have some new way of saying that. Language "evolves" apparently, but what's the point if you've locked down the meaning with the phrases you're already using. Do you want to put emphasis on something? I'm sorry, I just don't get how "run it back" is better than rematch! Oh! It's a hiphop thing Steve? That explains things. They make up words all the time! Yeah, I'll…I'll never relate to that. Look at me. I'm wearing a piano key necktie, it ain't happening! Anyways, Subculture was throwing big bombs, and Ilya left the ring, in an effort to save face I guess? A ring out leads to a loss with Bushido Rules though. So Subbie won, but it was a satisfactory win for him. Ilya has ducked him like that before. They kept up the fight on the outside to say the least. Subbie has always had that temper! I got the last hot dog in catering one day and found that out! Our catering serves the best hot dogs. After that Firebrand X and Isiah Muscle had a match, and it was a good test for Isiah to gauge his progress as a talent. He probably learned a lot from the way X was able to tie him up in knots and then switch to physically beating on him at the drop of a pointy red mask. He hung in there, but a Fire Thunder Driver ended it for Isiah. Firebrand did help the kid up though, so that's SOME sort of idea of what we're dealing with with Firebrand X on his return to the sport. We're happy to have him back. I want to see him take on Dragon Shiryu in a 60-Minute IronMan Match! How cool would that be? What's the story? Give it time, I'm sure they will bump into each other in the hallways, and I'll be there to make the suggestion. Then again…the E1 Climax is just around the corner as well. You never know WHAT could happen! Cheap plug there, what can I say? The next match saw Crono, Hotlanta, and Generator of Metal Rush take on Dan Club Silver's elite of Jammer, Benjamin and….Vape. Elite? Vape? He almost missed the match? Why? Do I really have to show you? You want to see? Alright. Roll it!

Iwata Memorial Arena - Restroom

Fighter Daron was using a urinal, when he heard a voice in the stall next to him. 

Vape: Alright, are you ready? You ready? We gotta get your fly down. Quit twisting! I said quit it! You want to go? Alright here we go. Go ahead. Whoa whoa! Stop it! Stop it! Whoa! It's alright, let's just get you over to the toilet here. N-NO! NOT THE SHOES! NOT THE SHIRT! NOT THE FACE! NO! STOP IT! That's not funny! Excuse me? Is anyone out there? 

Fighter Daron: Uh…I am. 

Vape: Yeah hey, can I get some paper towel from you please? 

Fighter Daron: Sure. Here ya go. 

Vape: Thanks man, you're a lifesaver. You know how it is I'm sure. 

Fighter Daron: Yeah, I get how they can be sometimes. 

Vape: Tell me about it! Hahaha! Stop it! You're getting it everywhere! NO! NO! NO! NOOOO! Wait, we're done? Very good! Very very good!

Fighter Daron went over to wash his hands, as Vape came out of the stall. 

Vape: Thanks again for the paper towel. 

Fighter Daron: Yeah don't mention, wait…what happened to your kid? 

Vape: ….What kid? 

-

Ted Pettentool: So obviously Metal Rush won. Crono hit the Chrono Trigger off Hotlanta's back on Vape and pinned him. Jammer and Benji were firing on all cylinders, but Vape was an anchor, and not the kind you need in this situation. Metal Rush were flying high, but the next match grounded them back to reality. In a Non-title single match, Poo took on Picky Minch in a Bushido Rules bout. Poo is definitely proficient in takedowns, and knew how to work on the mat with the EBW version of Ishihiro Tomo. That's what everyone calls him don't ya know. He even beat Tomo-kun once, but saying that will draw the ire of Tomo, so I should probably shut my mouth. Anyways out comes Trevor Mach, the #1 Contender to the VBW Championship with a chair. He's running down like he's gonna use it, and that distracts Poo enough to get him trapped in a Crossface. Turns out Trevor was just going to sit at ringside and make faces at Poo as he was helplessly trapped in the Crossface. The ref had to call the match when Poo entered a Mu state and refused to tap, showing that pain tolerance, but it didn't get him a win. On the contrary, this was a big win for Picky Minch, who was always seen as lesser to his OG peers, considering how young he was when EBW started. I mean it's been 18 years, but the kid has been wrestling since he was 10, and I'm not sure how that was legal! Eagleland's child labor laws used to be WAAAAAY different.

Xtra Xpose

Mrs. Xtra: Mrs. Xtra here, and I for one, am thrilled for my superstar husband and what he's got going on, BUT we're not here to talk about that. We're here tonight with Magus. Now Magus, the wrestling world has been buzzing since your return to EBW. You're a CTW mainstay, and you have a long history with figures like Crono, Lucca, and even that frog guy…whatever his name was. However, you've mostly been opposed to them, on the side of some villainous forces. Now, you're back and you're siding with Trevor Mach of all people. I did not see that coming. What to explain a little? Maybe shed some light on all of this? 

Magus: I only ever wanted the power to save my sister, and my people. I took part in every action, every way, even wrestling to reach that end. I got lost in the struggle to reach my goals, and on more than one occasion, Crono and his friends pulled me out before it was too late. Even figures like Ness and Trevor Mach were there to help me in the past. I have a debt to repay. Crono is not himself, and I think many in Metal Rush, if not all of them, are under a corruptive influence, a repercussion of the Dark Pact that was created some time ago. 

Mrs. Xtra: But your sister is alive. She's fine. We've seen her. She apparently works with Metal Rush though. She's been listed as an advisor, someone that Paula is keeping close to her. 

Magus: She's not herself. Something is wrong. She's not supposed to be here. Not now…not in this time and place. I sense motives beyond the obvious. I just- 

Mrs. Xtra: Oh look, here is your sister Schala now…with Paula? 

Magus: Schala? 

Schala: Janus, it's time to come with me. It's time to come home. 

Paula: You should listen to her Magus. You don't need to get your hands dirty on this one. You still have a chance to leave with dignity. It's going to get ugly. The pieces are slowly being put in place, and the right "triggers" are being pulled. It's all coming together, but you don't have to be caught up in the wake. You can leave now. Go home with your sister. 

Schala: It's time to come home. 

Magus: I have wanted that for longer than you could know…but I can't…until my sister is freed from the influence behind those eyes. Is it you that controls her psychic…or….is it the other way around? 

Mrs. Xtra: …Do I…do I still need to be here? I'm gonna go…and see my Mavykins.

-

Ted Pettentool: …Haha! Weird right? Cryptic stuff! I don't know what to make of it. Above my paygrade. They're talking about triggers, and Crono hit one of those earlier in the night, but I doubt that's what they were talking about. Maybe something to do with World Champion Cade "TRIGGER" Yaggis? He had recently found out his father was Giygas, and that's more over my head stuff, but the name is familiar. It's like I forgot it for a while, but now I remembered it again. All of it is weird, wild stuff. The next match saw Hope Mach and Valarie Dorado go head to head, but that didn't last long, as Heather Mach came out and attacked her own family again. "Judas Wolf" Heather Mach has been sporadic and unpredictable, but she said her next actions would let you know how serious she was, and yeah, this was shocking. Rhea Rampage came out to help Hope against Heather. Dougie tried to calm down Heather, and she had enough of Dougie, kicking him right in the pills before running off laughing! What a family! That Mach Curse…so that's real then right? The main event of the show saw World Champion Cade Yaggis as a Special Referee in a match pitting #1 Contenders Amigo and Zyro Kurogane. Earlier in the night, Zyro-K told Cade not to go easy on him, even if they both had more issues with Amigo than with each other. That of course was before Metal Rush jumped Zyro before the match. Even then, Zyro-K said to call it down the line, except for one favor. He asked Cade not to stop the match for anything. Cade kept his word, but Zyro-K might have regretted that, as Amigo punished the injured Kurogane. He tried to break Samurai Steel, but Kurogane wouldn't tap, and he wouldn't stay down for the three. Amigo mocked Isiah Muscle on the outside, as he set up Zyro-K for the Hagen Suplex. He then hit another one….and another one….and another one….and another one….and another one….and another one. Oh he kept hitting them, I just wanted to stop that loop. He kept telling Cade he should call the match, but "Trigger" kept his word. Amigo finally felt enough mercy to pin Zyro-K and take the win. He needed Grind and Kaiba to attack Kurogane earlier, but he got his win. Cade didn't look impressed as he raised Amigo's hand. I WAS impressed. All those Hagens! Hagen-daz a lot of suplexes! Eh? Eh?! Hahaha!

Ted Pettentool: That brings us to FEEL! THE! HEAT! I sure do, cause it's hot in here! It's so hot. Guys, why isn't the AC on? Steve? Oh well, I'll just try and truck through it. Quite the eventful show actually. Hilda Iceheart shocked the world by beating Erica clean! No Queen Beryl to help and no sign of Gianna Rambaldi. Erica was alone, and she lost to Hilda with a Flipping Neckbreaker. Hilda Iceheart made it clear that she would be the next Queen of EBW, but between her, Beryl, reigning EBW Women's Champion Makoto, and Usagi Tsukino, they may just need some sort of tournament…in the ring…to crown a queen? What would you call that? We also saw a World Tag Team Championship Ladder match with all the tag teams that have been desperate to have those titles, in an increasingly competitive division. It was so wild and crazy that twenty years from now, skinny short dudes will make this kind of match their only personality trait in wrestling. I really hope that doesn't happen, because for some reason everyone else will be alright with it, but it'll bother me a lot! A shocking twist came when Hotlanta and Sal Paradise were battling atop the ladder for the titles. Boomtown showed up to help, but he put SAL THROUGH A TABLE INSTEAD! The legendary casanova was OUT, as Boomtown allowed Hotlanta and Generator to grab the belts, and he took off his t-shirt to reveal himself as a new member of Metal Rush! Unbelievable stuff! The heroic Master Blaster would never have turned on his friends like this!



Ted Pettentool: Metal Rush had a trick up their sleeve in that match, but the balance uh…balanced in the next bout. In a brutal mix of hardcore brawling and the signature Bushido style of Havok, Trevor Mach managed to overcome VBW Champion Poo! It was nuts, and he hit him with a Burning Machismo through a table, but that just brought out more of Metal Rush, but Subbie, Picky, World Champion Cade Yaggis, and even Little Mac rushed out for the assist. Trevor ultimately wrapped his OWN ARM in barbed wire and trap Poo in the same kind of Crossface that made him pass on Havok. No referee stoppage in a VBW contest, as Trevor kept slapping Poo awake, making him relive the pain until he had no choice but to submit. After the match…

Backstage

Trevor Mach: Ya know Poo, you and the rest of Metal Rush sure know to get me riled up. You get me angry. You get me out for blood! However, the good Lord says you have to forgive your brother before coming to the altar, so I do. I keep forgiving you. It's not MY fault that you keep finding NEW ways to piss me off! I got to thank you though, cause this match, and that finish, and this VBW Championship just lit up my brain with ideas. People think I hate garbage wrestling, but I LOVE a good brawl, a brawl with a purpose especially. Imagine Bushido style through a No Rules lens. Now THAT is combat baby! BOOSH!

- 

Ted Pettentool: A BRUTAL way to get it done, but that wasn't as brutal as it was going to get on THIS night. The Blood 4 Blood streak of matches continued with the World Championship 3-Way, with Cade defending against both Amigo AND Zyro-K. Zyro-K was coming into it injured but that just endeared him even more with fans, who viewed him as a people's champion of sorts. This one was fun, cause the match started with Zyro and Cade taking Amigo out of the match, beating him pillar to post before turning on each other, but in a spirit of fierce competition, not the spite they both felt for Amigo, but Amigo would jump back in and try to snake his way to a championship that has eluded him his entire career. He'd get some payback coming his way though as Zyro-K escaped a Hagen and hit a Straight Jacket Hagen of his own, but not in the center of the ring like you'd expect, but on the side, and Amigo's back hit the corner of the canvas HARD! Zyro rolled to the floor while Amigo nursed his hurt back in the ring where Cade was ready to drop him again. He hit the Cadebreaker and went for the pin as Zyro-K rushed to get back into the ring, but Seto Kaiba, his former Samurai Ifrit stablemate blocked him off, as Cade pinned Amigo for the win and the title defense! I guess he felt he'd rather spoil things for Kurogane than try to save Amigo? In any case, Cade Yaggis walked away the World Champion to the delight of the Reefside crowd, and they appreciated it even more when he pointed to Zyro-K and told him he had a solo shot if he wanted it. Shogun Steel of course accepted it. Folks, what we witnessed next was absolute carnage. Void and KYO tore each other apart in that No Rules match—two monsters, no restraint, just blood and violence. It started fast, KYO biting into Void’s shoulder, blood pouring early. But Void? He just absorbed it and came back swinging with a steel chair. Weapons, blood, shattered glass, man it ALL blurred together. Void ripped into KYO with a barbed-wire bat, shredding him like nothing I’ve ever seen. But KYO? He wouldn’t stop. They both kept coming, until Void hit the Chaos Theory! A true monster mash! I had a poncho on, and I STILL got blood on my OTHER piano key necktie, not this one. I have five to be honest. It's a look, right? The Auditor and Preacher Ra did NOT know what to do after that one, but KYO didn't give up after losing. He did continue to fight. He tried to rip and tear into Void's mask to use his Hell Claw, but security finally had enough...and most of them didn't have to go to the hospital breaking them up, so that's nice right? Next up, the Senshi Championships were on the line as-

Alison Chains: Hey. 

Ted Pettentool: Alison? 

Alison Chains: …Can your tie play music? 

Ted Pettentool: Excuse me? 

Alison Chains: That would defy physics, and I'm a physicist. 

Ted Pettentool: So you told Mrs. Xtra, but then we found you actually went to school for chemistry, which honestly explains things a lot mo-

Alison Chains: What is physics, if not the chemistry of our reality and un-reality. The mysteries of the unknown, trapped in the bottle of the cosmos. Time to pour it out perhaps? Maybe I'll pour you out? 

Ted Pettentool: Pardon?

Alison Chains: Come to my room later. We'll watch FlixNet….or whatever. Wink.

Ted Pettentool: Oh, she actually SAID wink just then. Neat. Where was I? Oh yeah, she and her team beat the Metal Rush group when Ripper Jane of all people helped Hope tap out Valarie. What, you want me to elaborate on that? I'm out of time because of that awesome thing that just happened, but even if I HAD the time, we have no idea what's going through Ripper Jane's mind. She helped a Mach at the cost of another Mach. Go figure! ANYTHING can happen in EBW! The next match was a high flying delight. Rey Dorado, the legend of Anahauc, and the dark hero Kiva locked horns for the CXJ Championship. It's just great to see Kiva back in full costume. He spent a long time on a journey to purge himself of his darkness, and in the process he had name changes and times where he was thinking of giving up the mask entirely, but I know Fray Tiburon helped him turn a corner on that. It all came to a head here, as he actually beat Dorado for the CXJ Championship. It was THEN revealed that the man we've actually been seeing wrestle AS Kiva, was NOT the Kiva we remember, but the product of a violin making romance with with an Edoese woman, and also he's from a different time where the world was taken over by an evil force named Neo Fangire?! What?! The actual Kiva that WE remember appeared on the screen and apologized for the illusion, but introduced his son as El Hijo del Kiva. I mean, I can just keep calling him Kiva for short, right? I'm not good with remembering long names. The match between Crono and Magus was a classic, like a fine masterpiece from the 90's in high definition! I loved being front row for it! This time Magus was the hero and Crono the villain, and we weren't even in Mapleland. We don't go there a lot, they have weird politics! The interference was kept to a minimum. Crono told the Metal Rush team to stay back, BUT Schala did appear late in the match. Magus tried to get her to stop what she was doing and let him help her, but she hit him instead and fed him to Crono, who hit the Chrono Trigger and pinned him for the win. NOT good! Talk about a sibling dispute. My sister and I never had it that bad. I should call her, see how she's doing! And in our MAIN EVENT, Bashin Dan and Takumi Inui put on a worthy show topper. Takumi put the boots to Dan, and made him work for it. He seemed to want to bring out the best in Dan, and give him something to fight for. A lot of nearfalls here. Takumi pushed Dan to the limit, possibly more than Rama Raju had at Victory Explosion? However, the result was the same, as Dan hit the Brave Clash after narrowly avoiding a Rider Kick off the top, and pinned Takumi for the win.The crowd loved it, and Takumi acknowledged that Dan was the GOAT right now, but said that he was just getting back into peak form now that he'd found his purpose again, and this wouldn't be the last time he'd challenge for the title. Considering all of his success in the Edo wrestling scene, I'd say the best is yet to come!

Ted opened the door to find Alison looking disheveled and holding a gun to Ted. 

Alison Chains: I lied, I don't have FlixNet. Take off your shoes, we're gonna play old video games on my CRT television and smoke obscene amounts of DMT. 

Ted Pettentool: …Oh dear.
