The Angel Family stared dumbfounded at the television.

Captain Sparkle: Bending me over is so humiliating, but you think that's enough? You'll have to do better than that. Grab that paddle over there.

Narrator: Uh....tune in next time for more Captain Sparkle!

Tack Angel: ...Huh..

Amy Angel: That's NOT acceptable for the children!

Tracy Angel: You know,  I low key knew she was into that stuff, but I didn't want to say anything.

Makoto Angel: You knew about this? How? Did she tell you?

Tracy Angel: *cough cough*

Nani Angel: ...Ropes weren't tight enough for sufficient pain.

Faris Angel: I think that was the point. Just tight enough for-

Amy Angel: Kids! Remember the kids are in the room!

Iroha Angel: Tack? Why did you pause the screen?

Tack Angel: Huh?! What Iroha? What?!

Nani Angel: Tack wishes to tie us up no-

Tack and Amy: NANI!?

Nani Angel: Nani des.

Tack Angel: She reminds me of our nanny Darkness. Wait...where IS Darkness?

Amy Angel: Who?

Tack Angel: Darkness. Our big breasted nanny. She wore armor, but loved taking it off to expose herself?

Amy Angel: ...Heather was our nanny. I don't know who this Darkness is.

Tracy Angel: Me either.

Nani Angel: *nod*

Faris Angel: News to me.

Iroha Angel: I think I would remember this person.

Makoto Angel: What happened between Tali and Tracy?

Tack Angel: So none of you remember her? Am I having a stoke? *sigh* That's REALLY weird. So, we have no nanny then?

Amy Angel: Not true! I found the perfect nanny, and it's NOT a pirate! That's the best part.

Faris Angel: HEY!

Amy Angel: They smell like rum.

Faris Angel: ...Yeah alright.

Amy Angel: Oh, here he comes now.

Tack was shocked as a giant ant, walking on his hind legs, entered the room with a stroller and placed the younger children in it. He made no sound as he reached out for Christina's hand, and they walked off together.

Tack Angel: ....What the hell was that?! A giant ant nanny? That's....AWESOME! I guess that's a suitable replacement, but now that the kids are gone, I want to talk about where we can find some rope, paddles, and-

TV Announcer: And we're back to EBW World, where Nerma is speaking with Dick Wagner!

Nerma: Dick, how are you feeling after-

Dick Wagner: The kick?! I iced down my marbles, took some somas out of the old gimmick bag, and passed out at some motel with a couple rats. If he wants to play dirty, ol' Dick knows how to be dirty. Put that Mars Championship above a Ladder. We'll throw the rules out, and get some color in that ring boy!

Noah Jennings: I love this idea! Consider it booked!

Tack Angel: *spits drink*

Later...

Faris Angel walked away from the family and rounded the corner to make a phone call.

Faris Angel: *on the phone* Hello? Jeff? It's Faris. Yeah...yeah we have another missing person. Darkness. Yeah. No one remembers except Tack weirdly enough. I could think of a reason....well two reasons.
 

EBW World

Nerma: Nerma here in the Control Center for EBW World. Orange is still lurking, but whatever. At this point I assume he lives here. We had a hell of an Xcite. The big story coming out of it was nothing about the Wolves, the IronBloods, or the Dan Club. No, it was all about the main event. We saw a fantastic return for Lady M's, as she took on Tracy Angel. The match was thrown out after Duvalie, the maid for Erica, got into the ring and attacked Tracy with what we can now confirm was a bottle of perfume. Yeah, she smashed perfume right into her face. Then, Duvalie choked out M's with a cord before skipping on her merry way. Erica had this to say.

-

Erica: The business of the Eisenritter stays with the Eisenritter. Did I tell her to go out there and do that, or did she do it on her own? Draw your own conclusions.

-

Nerma: We got nothing from that, except that she doesn't care I guess. Thanks guys. Couldn't have tried harder? No? We have footage of what happened to Tracy after the event. Let's check it out.

Zombie U - Backstage

EMTs were tending to Tracy, cleaning out her eyes, and pulling glass from her face.

Tack Angel: Tracy, are you alright?

Tracy Angel: I can't see.

Tack Angel: Oh no, not you too. Subculture come over here! You're going to have to teach her how to be blind!

Subculture: What?

Degrees-4: She's not going to be blind Mr. Angel. Calm down. She can't see at the moment, but once we flush out the perfume, she'll be alright. It's the glass that was a bigger issue. We're lucky no glass got into her eyes.

Faris Angel: It's not as bad as what we dealt with lately right Doc?

Degrees-4: ...Huh? Yes Mrs. Angel, I've seen far worse. We're going to have her stitched up and ready to go shortly. Don't you worry.

Faris Angel: Mrs. Angel?

Degrees-4: Huh?

Tracy Angel: You finish this. You patch me up. I need to find this chick and return the favor!

Amy Angel: You and Tali didn't really get to-

Makoto Angel: Didn't get to what?!

Amy Angel: Settle the score?

Makoto Angel: Oh right. Right! Of course!

Tracy Angel: Makoto, the only one I'm going to *bleep* is the Eisenritter. *bleep* up that is. You tell them that the old Tracy Angel is ready to take them apart!

Makoto Angel: ....2 dollars in the swear jar.

Iroha Angel: It IS customary.

Faris broke off from the family and followed Degrees-4 as he went to grab some supplies.

Faris Angel: Doc? What's up with you? Are you alright?

Degrees-4: Who me? Yeah, I'm fine.

Faris Angel: You're acting like you don't know me. Did you hit your head or something? Are you having memory issues because of the Sanct-

Degrees-4: You remember?

Faris Angel: Yeah, of course I do. I was there. I was fighting on Earth-50 and Earth-14 when we lost the Apple Core, and I ended up with all of you in Magicant later. When the dust cleared, we were back home, but it wasn't exactly like before. People forgotten...places and names changed. You do remember me still right? EBW Time Force?

Degrees-4: Time Force...right.

Faris Angel: You....you're not...you're not Doc are you?

Degrees-4: .....

Faris Angel: You're not the Degrees of Earth-1?

Degrees-4: ...*sigh* I sort of am now.

Faris Angel: I don't understand. Does that mean-

Degrees-4: *nods*

Faris Angel: *gasp*

Degrees-4: Shhh. It's alright. I understand how you're feeling. He...he died to save us all...including me. He asked me to look after his family, and make them mine. That's what I'm doing, to the best of my ability, but of course things aren't the same here as they were on Earth-4, but it's gone now. I need your help alright? Help me to "catch up" with events. Please?

Faris Angel: ...I will...yes of course...for the Doc.

-

Nerma: So I've been told Tracy has been cleared, but in a company where they keep clearing KYO that's not as much of a surprise. Tracy will be getting the title shot at New Year Rising, because Lady M's is going to be taking on Duvalie in a No Rules match. Plus, Hope Mach is going to take another shot at Kaie in a Submission match for the Television title. It's all out war, when the Machs and Angels take on the Eisenritter at New Year Rising 2020 ONLY on ENN+

Paradise City Gym

Amigo and Kinniku Mike were hard at work, lifting weights, and suplexing heavy bags on the mat, when Amigo suddenly stopped.

Kinniku Mike: What's wrong bro. You pull a tit muscle? You just gotta work through the pain. Flex those Strong Tits, go UUUUuuuu!, and keep lift-

Amigo: No Mike, that's not it. I just have this nagging feeling.

Kinniku Mike: In the Strong Tits tm?

Amigo: No, not in the- "tm"? Are you trademarking "Strong Tits"?

Kinniku Mike: ....No?

Amigo: *sigh* Do you feel like we're forgetting something?

Kinniku Mike: I wouldn't know. If I forgot, I wouldn't remember.

Amigo: ...Of course. But seriously. I feel like we're missing...someone.

Kinniku Mike: In the Paradise Collection?

Amigo: Yeah.

Kinniku Mike: Well other than Tomo, it's always just been you and me. Sal brought us back together so he could retire and manage some winners. He's a better Agent than he is a tag partner, I'll give him that much. Dude sucked at that.

Amigo: ...Is that right though?

Kinniku Mike: Dude, I have no idea what you're talking about. Imma get my pump on.

Amigo: Right right. Huh.

Amigo walked outside to get some air, and happened to see Jamie OD sitting on the other side of the road, with Jamie XL standing behind him, staring right at Amigo.

Amigo: The hell do you guys want?

Jamie OD: Oh, we were just in the neighborhood, but now that you mention it, a fight sounds fun.

Amigo: I do my fighting in the ring, so if you want that, I'll be happy to give it to you. Mike and I are more than happy to take you down.

Jamie OD: You're not even paying attention to my buddy Jamie XL here.

Amigo: ...Something unsettling about you too...so ginger.

Jamie OD: Or MAYBE he reminds you of someone you can't remember...but I can. I remember! Haha!

Amigo: Huh?

Jamie OD: Oi, you've lost some marbles up in that melon of yours, and I just happen to have them. I remember the unofficial version. I don't know why, and frankly I don't care, but I remember him, and you don't.

Amigo: You going to inform me?

Jamie OD: Now where's the fun in that. Tell you what. If you and Mike can beat me and XL here, I'll fill you in. Sound good?

Amigo: What do you get out of it?

Jamie OD: A good fight.

Crystal Heaven

Iroha Angel got up that morning feeling sick to her stomach. She made her way down the stairs to the kitchen, where Helios and Christina were drawing pictures of the family. Helios seemed to be drawing Iroha bigger than the others.

Iroha Angel: Helios? Honey? Why are you drawing me so much bigger than the others? I mean, I know I put on a few pounds the last few weeks, but it was the holidays, and I was informed even a warrior is allowed to relax and let loose during that time of year. I mean, am I really that much bigger? Christina? What are you drawing? Oh no, you have me bigger too! Why? Do you think I'm fat?

Christina Angel: No Mommy Iroha, I just think you have big boobs.

Iroha Angel: Ha! Oh! Is that it? Maybe that's the problem. I'm not putting on weight, I just have a big chest?! Helios, is that why you drew me bigger?

Helios Angel: No Mommy Iroha, you have a big belly. Hehehe.

Iroha Angel: ...I over reached...hoped for too much....felt it. Well, I guess I better get back into shape...just as soon as I go throw up.

Elsewhere, Amy was pouring over internet comments about Tack Angel as he paced back and forth.

Amy Angel: Tack, these comments are indicative of the brand. We have to protect the brand, to protect our family.

Tack Angel: But these people can be so mean.

Amy Angel: They're just lashing out because they don't feel like they're being heard anymore. Imagine if you were actually able to reach them and become their champion. That's merch sales through the roof. That's ratings on the show. That's even more eye balls glued to the upcoming live action show you don't know about. That's a big deal.

Tack Angel: That makes sense. Wait...live action what now?

Amy Angel: Let's take a look at the comments alright? "Man, that Tack dude is obsessed with that belt." He's got you....uh...humping...a waifu version of the belt. "Mars-tan" it's called.

Tack Angel: Let me see that. Hmmm....better save that...for research.

Amy Angel: No...I don't think I will. What's next. "That Tack Angel is surrounded by hot, big breasted women, and he just can't seem to get enough. His insatiable hunger will be the ruin of us all."

Tack Angel: ...Jealous much!?

Amy Angel: Hmm. "I love Tack Angel, but the Star Prince gimmick is weird to me. What even does it mean? I mean, he's made it clear he wants to rule all of space, and he's already building a very real kingdom in Eagleland. Should we be worried?"

Tack Angel: Man, these guys can't get over some things. I've made it perfectly clear that I just want my humble kingdom right here....and the moon. I'm going to terraform the moon....someday.We could do a show up there! Imagine wrestling in space.

Amy Angel: That happened before, and you blew up a Space Station.

Tack Angel: Oh right.

Amy Angel: Trevor almost died too. Speaking of Trevor. "I can't believe how idiotic these people are, especially Tack. Trevor Mach has obviously been replaced by an older version of himself, possibly from another Earth. Why isn't anyone noticing?" What is he talking about? That's just stupid.

Tack Angel: I know right? Like I don't know my friend. He's just been....acting a little weird lately...and being nice. It's off putting.

Amy Angel: Oh wow, this is a hefty one. "I feel like I could write anything here, and Tack wouldn't care. I could write lines and lines of dialogue. I could write the worlds longest story, complete with twists and turns and emotion, but it wouldn't matter, unless it's something directly about his family or his title belt. If it's not about Tack, who gives a fu-oh.....uh fart? Who gives a fart."

Tack Angel: Hey! That's not true. I care! It's everyone's job to care! I can care about my family, and other stuff too. This person's feelings, I care about them too. I need to let him know that the Star Prince cares about-

Iroha Angel: Well that explains a lot. The test came back positive. I'm pregnant!

Amy Angel: *gasp*

Tack Angel: ....Fuck that guy! I'M GONNA BE A DADDY AGAIN! YEAH!

EBW: Neon Nights
Studio B, Saturn City
ENN

Apple Kid: Welcome to the Studio, time for another installment of Neon Nights, where-

Tack Angel: She's pregnant! She's pregnant! AHAHAHAHAHA!

Apple Kid: And we have Tack handing out cigars. Tack, I think that's kid! Oh dear.

Tommy Dukes: It's cool, *chewing on cigar* they're bubble gum. *sigh* I can't get Nerma pregnant...but you know....good for Tack.

Apple Kid: Uh...let's cut to our interview with World Champion Swift that we promised last week, which for us was yesterday, but it's taped so whatever.

-

Apple Kid: So Swift, you have had an incredible comeback run. You came back in as the scourge of the roster, and now you're a hero to many. One thing that didn't change is that you are the EBW Triple Crown World Champion.

Swift: I didn't change either. Doesn't matter who I running with, or what you thought of me. I wanted competition. I wanted to kick some ass. I wanted a brawl. It's all I ever wanted. Coming from River City, where all you do is fight to survive, and sometimes play a myriad of mini games, all I ever wanted was to be recognized as the toughest son of a bitch. I wanted to make it known, that that ring is MINE! I think after all that shit with Tomo, it's obvious. I mean Tuna Meltzer gave that match 8 Stars.

Apple Kid: Yeah, but ever since he broke 5 Stars, he's been exposed as a hack frau-

Swift: ....

Apple Kid: Let's move on. Bashin Dan gave you many memorable battles in 2019. Do you think he has what it takes to topple you in 2020?

Swift: Honestly? Not a chance. But, that doesn't mean I don't want him to try. Step in that ring like you want to kill me. Fight like YOUR life is on the line, cause it very well could be. Let's have a definitive finish to this one. One way or the other, we'll know who is better.

-

Apple Kid: And we're back. Look we kept our promise. We remembered a thing from last week. I bet no one even remembers that promise. Whatever. We put too much work into our craft.

Tommy Dukes: Apple Kid is going to take a break now, while I let you all know that Trevor Mach is in the main event tonight! Dick Wagner, having failed to win the Mars Championship, which I question if it's a real title or not, decided to challenge Mach for the Rated M Championship. Mach's response was "Rated M Championship? Oh yeah, sure." So... so there you go.

1. Singles: Fighter Daron beat Jamie XL via DQ
-Jamie XL battered Fighter Daron with his long reach and the barrage of Big Boots and Powerbombs that men of that size can do, and not much else. However, XL refused to let up on the attack, and got himself DQ'd in the process.

Tommy Dukes: OD seems to be pleased with that display, even though it was a loss. I guess it's more about making a statement, and this tall, big booting fella, sure did make a statement.

Arliss Michaels: HOWEVER....that's a win for Daron. Fighter Daron with a win. Get the new t-shirt that says "I was there when Fighter Daron beat Jamie XL". It's on sale now!

Tommy Dukes: What? They're already printed?! That was a risky gamble.

2. EBW Women's Tag Team Championship: Ember Blaze(c)/Lt. Lacy Wagner(c) vs. Kei Akiyama/Kayla Sparkz ended in a No Contest!
-A match that never got off the ground, as 21st Century Foxx and her four masked figures rushed the ring and attacked both teams.

Tommy Dukes: Whoa! Foxx with the attack again! Are we going to get some answers this time?

21st Century Foxx: Are we getting your attention yet? Two title matches so far that we brought to a halt, because we felt like it. You know, I'm tired of the disrespect around her. This tough ass sister is through playing around with this weak bitches. I decided it was time to get what's mine. That's why me and my sisters here have banded together. To get what we want. You can call us the Foxx Force Five!

Apple Kid: Foxx Force Five? I like it!

Tommy Dukes: And Apple's back folks!

3. Tag: Amigo[o]/Kinniku Mike beat Misogynist Paul/Robert Sandwich[x] via Olympic Slam x Ankle Lock -> Submission
-A routine squash, with Sal Paradise's team crushing the Heat Paradise in 3 minutes. Amigo tapped out Sandwich to end the match.

Tommy Dukes: Sandwich is livid. He's going into "Yeast Mode" again!

Apple Kid: This would benefit him more if he did this DURING the match. I'm just saying.

Tommy Dukes: Well, the Paradise Collection are as tough as ever, and they seem ready to take on the two Jamies at New Year Rising 2020. Next, we have a debut of a very well known figure outside of EBW. They are ready to "set the world aflame" in our ring. Here comes the opponent Gold.

Apple Kid: She looks lost, clutching that silver chain. It's weird. She needs to get focused, or the former Television Champion might lose to our new talent. I'm not even sure who it is yet? How do you know?

Tommy Dukes: I have connections.

Apple Kid: Wife?

Tommy Dukes: Wife.

Apple Kid: ...I need one.

Tommy Dukes: Without further ado....here she comes!




Tommy Dukes: Policewoman and Fire Fighter Patricia Wagon! YEAH!

4. Women's Singles: Patricia Wagon[Debut] beat Gold via Switch Force (Sling Blade) -> Pin
-A fun match, with Patricia Wagon showing her fire and resolve to succeed in the ring like she has on the streets and burning buildings. An escape from a Golden Exploder attempt, lead to Dragon Screws, and a Sling Blade called the Switch Force, that kept Gold down for the count.

Tommy Dukes: Now THAT'S a debut!

Apple Kid: She's perfect! I think I'm in love! How can I make her my rescue girl?

Tommy Dukes: Yikes.

5. EBW Rated M Championship: Trevor Mach(c) beat Dick Wagner via Spinning Back Elbow x Burning Machismo -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-What was expected to be a bloody brawl, saw Trevor Mach simply spin around Dick and hit the elbow to the back of the head, and finish him off with the Burning Machismo.

Tommy Dukes: Huh. That was....efficient.

Apple Kid: Anyone else notice Trevor got like....A LOT better recently? Please nerf!

Rampage Arena - Parking Lot

A limo pulled up, with the Eisenritter making their way out, with a security detail.

Makoto Angel: Erica! Hey! I want to talk to you! Can you get these red shirts out of my way!

Erica: *nod* To what do I owe the displeasure of an Angel in my way?

Makoto Angel: I have a job to do, and I'm trying to put aside my feelings and do it right. A lot of questions for you. I see you have the security detail here. You afraid of 21st Century Foxx, and her new Foxx Force Five?

Erica: Not in the slightest. She was upset that she was cast out, and she did something about it. Commendable. Kaie might have something to say to her next time they meet, but Foxx DID ensure that Kaie retained the Television Championship. As of right now, the "Foxx Force Five" are not in my cross hairs. That being said, I need assurances that I can conduct business without their involvement.

Makoto Angel: So, you're really just focused on Tracy then. Is this for her? She's pretty livid about Duvalie's attack.

Erica: My maid's actions are her own.

Duvalie: *bows* It's just business. It's all just business.

Erica: Tracy is the next Angel to check off the list. That will be Christina injured and beaten, Iroha beaten, Nani beaten, and Tracy. You're running out of competitors for me Angel Family. I hear that Iroha is going to spit out more children huh? When I'm STILL Champion in 18 years, send them my way. I'll beat them too.

Makoto Angel: ...You can't beat all of us.

Erica: Oh yeah? Do YOU want to step up?

Makoto Angel: I-

Erica: Yeah, I think you should. In fact, I think you should TONIGHT! Duvalie, do I have time on my schedule for that?

Duvalie: We will make the time mistress.

Erica: Perfect.

Makoto Angel: You know what? FINE! I WILL! Don't even worry about the title! I'll do it to prove to you what this family is all about! When I'm done Tracy will beat you, and Kaie will be beaten by Hope Mach, and Duvalie will lose to Lady M-

Erica: Don't say her name in my presence right now. Like a bad illness, she returns to get in my way. M's, I really enjoy watching your "kid's show". Glad to see you demean yourself, the way you always deserved. You Makoto? I'll see you in the ring. What's next on the agenda Duvalie?

Duvalie: Well, you have the action figure deal to iron out, and it was discussed to have you challenge for the EBW Triple Crown World Championship.

Erica: That would be redundant and down right stupid. I'm already the World Champion.

Makoto Angel: ....





Nerma: Welcome to EBW: Xcite! We're in River City, and no your eyes are not deceiving you. Makoto Angel has just stepped into the ring, but she's not there for an interview. People FIGHT in River City, and she's got one on her hands, after trying to interview Erica. I have to give her credit. I really do. She tried to get her job done, and now she's out there standing up for her family. As much as I fear that they are plotting to build an army and take over everything, I have to commend her for this, and here comes Erica. Not wasting any time. Here we go!

EBW: Xcite
Rampage Arena, River City
ENN

1. Women's Singles: Erica beat Makoto Angel via DQ
-A short brawl, with Makoto getting in a series of leggy kicks, before being taken down by Erica. Christina, Nani, and Tracy all ran down to brawl with Duvalie and Kaie, when they tried to get involved. The crowd went wild as Lady M's ran out through the crowd and plowed through Erica on her way to get to Duvalie. A chaotic brawl that was not so easily pulled apart.

Nerma: Wow! That is how you start an episode! M's is still on mission, to fire up the roster against Erica, but she made it clear she's none to happy with the maid who choked her out. Wow.

2. Tag: Firebrand X[o]/Subculture beat Jammer/Benjamin[x] via Fireslide -> Pin
-The Dan Club team took the veterans to the limit, but a KO Punch from Subbie sent Benji right into the Fireslide for the 1-2-3.

Tommy Dukes: When the hell did X and Subculture get so good as a team? They might just be the biggest threat to the Bad Dudes and their title reign. Are we going to see the disbanded Elite 4 duke it out?

Backstage

Makoto Angel: Makoto here...out of breath...and apparently still bleeding from the mouth. Do we really not have anyone else that can do this right now?

Orange: ....*thumbs up*

Makoto Angel: Huh...I guess we don't. I'm outside of the locker room for Trevor Mach, the Rated M and World Tag Team Champion. Tonight, he's bowed out of the main event, that will see the Wolves take on the IronBloods for the World Team Championship Rings. Swift has the chance to become a 4-Crown King once again. So why bow out? For a 15-Minute Time Limit match against Bashin Dan. I want to find out why this decision? Trevor? Trevor, can we talk?

Reno: Whoa! This is the Wolves' locker room, and they are getting ready for their matches. Trevor's next up, and I don't want any distractions for him. He's on a bit of a roll, and we intend to keep it that way.

Makoto Angel: Mach has changed a lot recently, and I just want to know if that's been a part of this decision to bow out of the match to take on Dan instead.

Reno: I can answer that. Trevor is being selfless for the team. He said he has enough titles as it is, and wanted Rude to get his shot. As a friend to Rude going way back, I personally appreciate that. Reminds me of the days when that dude was still in the white robes, and we were splitting zombie skulls in Threed.

Tack Angel: *in the background* I don't remember that!

Reno: I know you don't buddy! Also, you have to remember that Bashin Dan has been like a little brother to Trevor, of course that got muddled when Dan got involved with his daughter, but he accepted their relationship and stepped back to let Dan do his thing. He's still looking out for him though, and this match is for Mach to gauge how good Dan really is, and if he's ready for Swift. I mean if Dan could win, or last the 15 minutes, we'll know that we're going to have an amazing match at New Year Rising 2020....that I believe Swift will still win regardless, but hey, it's the thought that counts right?

Makoto Angel: Huh....what?

3. 15-Minute Singles: Bashin Dan vs. Trevor Mach ended in a Time Limit Draw!
-A match very different from previous encounters between Mach and Dan. Dan was excited to see a new move set in use by Mach, and worked to counter it, ducking a weaving to avoid the elbow. Catch AS catch can wrestling followed, with Dan showing a lot of growth in that department thanks in part to the olympic level training with Hope Mach. Neither could work in a finish, and the time limit expired.

Tommy Dukes: Wow, that was more like a lesson than a match, and I should've been taking notes. Mach with the pat on the back to Dan, raising his hand in respect.

Nerma: Mach's grey's are really showing under that dye job....what? I'm just saying. Man's going grey.

Tommy Dukes: I think he looks alright for 36.

Nerma: You think THAT looks good for 36?!

Tommy Dukes: Hey, you might start getting greys soon yourself. I mean you're-

Nerma: *elbows Dukes*

Tommy Dukes: HU! Point taken! Point taken!

4. Tag: Amigo/Kinniku Mike[o] beat Fray Tiburon/Rey Dorado[x] via Release Dragon Suplex -> Pin
-The Paradise Collection prevailed against the Lucha tandem, with another hard loss for legend Rey Dorado. Mike blocked the Doradorana, and set up Dorado for the 1-2-3. After the match, an injured Rey Dorado tried limping away. His sister Valarie Dorado appeared from the stage and tried to talk to him, but he brushed by her on the way to the back.

Tommy Dukes: I wonder what that's about?

Nerma: I guess we've never truly acknowledged it on air huh? Valarie being the younger sister of Rey Dorado? You'd think it would've been a talking point by now.

Tommy Dukes: They always just sort of missed each other when they were in EBW. When one left the other would return. Like Dorado shifts or something.

Nerma: Or something.

Backstage

Makoto Angel: Makoto here, following Lady M's, who is angry, and trashing everything she can. M's! M's slow down! M's! I-

Lady M's: Get the mic out of my face. GET THE CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE! Tell that Lakitu to BACK UP! They used to be too afraid to follow me! I'LL REMIND YOU! I come back here, and sacrifice MY TIME, MY BLOOD, AND MY FUTURE, to get choked out by a MAID?! It doesn't end that way. NO IT DOESN'T! You can choke me out, and I'll beg for more, but if you get in MY WAY, I'll END YOU! I'll run through them all, but I'll start with that Duvalie BITCH! Tracy, you got the title match. Don't *bleep* it up!

Makoto Angel: Uh....yeah....GO TRACY! Hehe....heh...oh dear. Tracy? You never choked her out like that did you? Tracy?

5. Women's Singles: Hope Mach vs. 21st Century Foxx ended in a No Contest!
-A payback match for what happened during the match between Hope and Kaie, Hope actually had unlikely backup from Kaie, who appeared and tried to fight the hooded figures that were apart of "Foxx Force Five". Eventually, the action spilled into the ring, and the match was thrown out. Hope and Kaie fought off the group, but realizing they were in the ring together, turned on each other and fought until security could calm them down.

6. EBW World Team Championship: Camilo Ortega(c)/Tomo(c)[o]/Hotlanta(c)/KYO(c) beat Swift/Tack Angel/Generator/Rude[x] via Brainbuster -> Pin -> Title Defense!
-Main event time saw the Wolves and the IronBloods in all out war for the Rings. Frantic paced brawl of a match, that saw 3 Wolf Moon nearly take the Rings, when Rude hit a Rulebreaker on Tomo, but KYO bit into him, which nearly got the match thrown out. Rude asked the ref not to throw it out, and spun him around for the Brainbuster and the pin. The IronBloods walled off the Wolves, and defended the Rings.

Tommy Dukes: Oh that's garbage. Rude got robbed. He didn't want that DQ result, and fell to the Brainbuster instead. You can tell this is far from over. The Wolves and IronBloods are brawling. Here comes Trevor Mach! He's helping get his team to safety. Ortega has the mic.

Camilo Ortega: I thought you could do better than that. Figured you'd be a bigger obstacle on the Path. Well, you got what you wanted didn't you? A shot at these rings? Now, we get our shots. At New Year Rising 2020, KYO wants that Rated M Championship Trevor Mach. You don't deserve it. You were not the same man who won it. You and I both know what I mean.

Trevor Mach-10: What?

Camilo Ortega: Swift, you're tied up with the would be Ace, so I'll tangle with the actual "Ace" going by fan reactions here. Tack Angel, I challenge you. I'll put up the Television Championship, and you, you will put up the Mars Championship. You up for it?

Tack Angel: No.

Camilo Ortega: Are you a coward?

Tack Angel: I don't care. Call me whatever you want. It never bothers me. Literally DO NOT care.

Camilo Ortega: If it's just the Television Championship?

Tack Angel: Absolute-

Camilo Ortega: But not the Mar-

Tack Angel: No way.

Camilo Ortega: *sigh* Remember when EBW: Dark promised not to go after your family? Remember when w00t broke that promise?

Tack Angel: Yes, that I remember.

Camilo Ortega: Well, I don't think these guys or I ever made any promises to break in the first place. That means family is fair game and-

Tack Angel: Fine! You leave them alone, and I'll do it. They're more important....right? Yes...100%. Belto, don't look at me like that.

Generator: He's losing it.

Battle Spirits Dojo

Dan was back at work, hitting the mat, and hitting the table...with his Battle Spirits cards, when he suddenly had a guest arrive...

Bashin Dan: That's another win for me.

Jammer: Tell me I'm doing better at least?

Bashin Dan: ...Considering you tried starting with a deck of Uno cards, I'd say you're improving.

Jammer: Alright! From downtown!

Bashin Dan: Heh....huh? What is-

Trevor Mach-10: Heya Dan.

Bashin Dan: Uh...hey Trevor. I don't think Hope is around today if that's who-

Trevor Mach-10: I was actually hoping to talk to you....alone.

Jammer: Huh? Oh. Whatever. I'll just go shoot some hoops. Sink some three pointers and-who am I kidding?

Bashin Dan: This isn't a delayed reaction about me dating Hope is it?

Trevor Mach-10: What? No. You're an upstanding young man, and I'd be proud to call you son.

Bashin Dan: Son...normally you act like I'm a younger brother. You really ARE a different Trevor aren't you?

Trevor Mach-10: I had a feeling you could tell, but I wasn't sure just how you knew.

Bashin Dan: I could tell from the way you wrestled. It wasn't just different, it was entirely different.

Trevor Mach-10: Very perceptive. You haven't told Hope?

Bashin Dan: I figured that was something between father and daughter. However, I'd really like to know where our Trevor Mach is.

Trevor Mach-10: I thought he was...gone. But, now I'm not so sure anymore, and I have no idea how it's possible. I saw him...and I think you did too.

Bashin Dan: ...1992?

Trevor Mach-10: 1992. We could really use your help I think.

Bashin Dan: ...Whatever you need.
