Official GZWA Primetime Theme: I Want It All / We Will Rock You [Mash-Up] - Queen (feat. Armageddon)
Recorded Date: April 24, 2015 *** Deadlines extended to April 26, 2015 after announcement of "tape delay" on this episode ***
Air Date: May 4, 2015
The lights in the arena went slightly dimmer as "Painkiller" by Three Days Grace blasted through the speakers around the arena. The crowd erupted to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos as every single person in attendance knew to whom this theme music belonged. GZWA's commissioner Serena Dent walked out on to the ramp and scanned the crowd. As she was heading down to the ring, she did actually offer a faint smile to the audience. Stepping up the stairs, the music was fading out and Serena raised the microphone to her lips while looking around.
Very rarely do I come out like this, stand in the middle of the ring and make a statement. You all probably think that I came here to fuck somebody over and announce some kind of twist in a wrestler's path to gaining a championship belt. Yet, sadly, I came to this ring, in front all of you to actually address a very sensitive subject matter.
Pacing around the ring, you could notice that Serena was searching for the right words to start.
Before the taping of this very "Primetime" one of our Vixens and current Tag Team champion, Casey Cortez, cut us a promo for her 8-man Tag Team match with her partner and co-champion Laura Jackson and The Enforcers against The Extreme Juggalos and The Mega Busters. A match consisting of the strongest teams in the division, who can fire up even the coldest and most resistant of crowds. But, Casey had an entirely different opinion about our decision to place this match as the opening of the night. Of course, it is usual to hear wrestlers whine and complain for the lack of recognition for their talent and hard work. But our resident Amazon wasn't complaining about that. Not exactly.
Serena took a deep breath as she could feel her blood slowly starting to boil inside.
Casey Cortez, a GZWA Vixen and current one half of the Tag Team Champions, someone who came from a family of female wrestlers, made a statement to everyone around the world, that the very company she works for is mistreating her and doesn't give her a fair chance, because she is a female.
Taking a deep breath, Serena looked down to the canvas and slowly looked back up to the crowd around her.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??!!!
The crowd actually for the first time erupted into wild cheers as the commissioner shook her head.
During the Academy Awards this year, after winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood”, the stunning Patricia Arquette made a speech about gender equality. What she said actually became an internet sensation:
"To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America."
Emma Watson, an absolutely lovely young actress spends most of her time working with the project “He for She”, a movement that supports equal BOTH gender rights, both economical and human. The Divas of our rivals World Wrestling Entertainment inc. started a worldwide trending topic on social media known as “Give Divas a Chance”. Yes, all of these ladies use their social status and the creative platforms of their choosing to promote the need for women to be treated the same way men are.
Serena turns towards the titatron and looks towards the backstage area and the locker rooms.
Casey, Ground Zero Wrestling Association has given equal rights and fair chances for their employees from the minute the doors opened. And the women working here have opportunities not many companies think to provide. Justice was the co-owner of the company with Xion Zeros, Sensational Mary managed to keep our boss on the edge of his seat even going as far as manipulating every single employee in order to become the owner. All of the commissioners of Primetime were female. Our most well-known trainer, the one who overlooks our up and coming talent is non other than the fiery “Showstoppin’ Senorita” Mariah. The broadcast team is dominated by the always vocal Francine at the commentary desk and Christy Hemme as the head interviewer and host of GZWA’s “Hot Spot”. The first and current Tag Team champions are two ladies. Laura Jackson and… You, Casey. 20 female wrestlers on the roster with 29 males. Only one male manager. All of the rest are strong and confident women.
Taking a few more steps closer to the rope, you could see the fire in the commissioner’s eyes.
No? Still not enough? Okay, well, how about the freakin’ fact that on this week Primetime out of 11 scheduled matches 7 include women as equal participants, either solo or in a team. After hearing all of this, Casey Cortez, how do you even dare call Ground Zero Wrestling Association sexist and not giving women equal rights in the work field? I think that you might just be even more ignorant and oblivious than your retired sister.
The crowd once more erupted in support for the fired up commissioner as Serena took a step back, fixing a few loose strands of hair.
And you know, I’ll prove right here, right now at this very ring, surrounded by all this witnesses that everybody here can have an equal chance. That in this ring everything is fair game and your intellect and physical abilities, NOT YOUR GENDER, will pave the way to victory and success.
Her eyes still locked towards backstage, Serena walks back to the ropes, holding one hand on the very top rope.
You wanted to be treated equally like the males, Casey? Choke on this then. Ladies and Gentleman, next Primetime, Casey Cortez will be facing The Beast Incarnated, The Conqueror, the most non-PG asskicker, with his advocate Paul Heyman by his side. You will be facing.... BROCK LESNAR!!!
The crowd went wild hearing the announcement as the chant of “Suplex City!” started to echo throughout the arena.
Have a nice stay at Suplex city…. Bitch.
Serena dropped the microphone to the ground as "Painkiller" by Three Days Grace blasted through the speakers and the scene cut to commercial.
*** Show Opener: 8-Man Tag Team Match ***
GZWA Tag Team Champions The MisFits ("Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez) and The Enforcers (Dequan Wallace & G-Money Briggs; w/ Veda Scott)
vs.
Extreme Juggalos ("Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick & "High-Flying Extremist" The Enigma; w/ Ronda Rousey) and Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus; w/ Ashleigh Cash)
Prof. X: Welcome to another exciting episode of GZWA Primetime, ladies and gentlemen. To say we’ve barely have gotten this show underway, we already had our lovely commissioner make a blockbuster announcement at the top of our broadcast. The MisFits’ “Queen of Submission” Casey Cortez will face against the Beast Incarnate himself, Brock Lesnar on our next broadcast.
Francine: That sounds like an amazing match-up, but let’s focus on the here and now, Professor. Casey will be teaming up with the Enforcers, along with the other half of the GZWA Tag Team Champions against the Extreme Juggalos and Mega Busters in our opening contest.
The Carter: That’s going to be one hell of an opening contest. I hope Veda Scott doesn’t plan on getting involved in this match as she has a preliminary match in the Queen of Queens Tournament later tonight.
Francine: With Ronda Rousey and Ashleigh Cash backing the Extreme Juggalos and Mega Busters, she would have to be crazy to try anything with the scales tipped so heavily against her.
As soon as the Mega Busters made way to the ring, they erupted into a brawl with the Enforcers while the Extreme Juggalos and GZWA Tag Team Champions quickly poured out from backstage to join the action. Matthew Miles and Psycho Sagus send both Dequan Wallace and G-Money Briggs’ spines whiplashing into the corner posts with two simultaneous Springboard Missile Dropkicks. The Mega Busters then perform two simultaneous Handspring Back Elbows to the Enforcers in the corner. Miles hits his mark but Sagus skips a beat as Dequan maneuvers out of the corner, causing Sagus to impact into the corner post instead. Dequan charges straight for Miles with The Bullet (The Pounce) but Ashleigh Cash slides into the ring in time and takes the bullet for the team – literally.
The Carter: Oh my god! I hope Ashleigh’s okay!
Francine: Don’t worry. She’s a tough cookie.
Prof. X: Agreed, partner, but the Mega Busters have a lot more to worry about than this.
Matthew Miles’ heart goes out to the fallen Blue Bombshell, but a Haymaker from the recovered G-Money Briggs reminds the Mega Busters that they have more trouble on the horizon. G-Money then hoists Miles onto his shoulders and throws him out of the ring into the pool of Superstars and Vixens waging war at ringside consisting of the Extreme Juggalos and MisFits with a vicious Running Release Powerbomb.
Prof. X: Bodies are scattered everywhere, folks!
Francine: And we’re barely getting started here tonight… Good grief. What kind of craziness is going to follow this up tonight.
The Carter: Don’t forget that we still have a #1 Contender’s Match in the main event, as well as more matches in the Queen of Queens Tournament to see tonight as well!
The Enforcers then set their eyes back to Psycho Sagus in the corner. Dequan Wallace charges in with a running shoulder thrust into the corner, but Sagus leapfrogs over the lone Enforcer. G-Money Briggs catches him out of the air into a Sky High spinebuster, slamming him to the canvas into a pin.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Psycho Sagus raises his shoulder off the canvas briefly before G-Money deadlifts Sagus back into the air into another Powerbomb. Psycho Sagus desperately counters with a Hurracanrana, slinging G-Money onto the nearby ropes. The Extreme Juggalos are first to assist with tandem Super Kicks to the face of G-Money. G-Money involuntarily spun around into the grasp of Psycho Sagus, who capitalizes with the Konami Code (Sliced Bread #2).
Prof. X: If Sagus gets the win here, I think he wouldn’t have to ever worry about people laughing at him losing to a sandwich again!
Francine: Hmph, most people will FORGET he did that if he gets a win over the Enforcers like this.
While Psycho Sagus goes for the pin, the Extreme Juggalos stop Dequan Wallace in his tracks with a Leg Lariat/Chop Block combination.
ONE…
TWO…
TH—NO!!!
Laura Jackson breaks the pin with a Punt Kick to Psycho Sagus’ skull while Casey launches herself into the ring with a Flying Battering Ram (Flying Double Clothesline) to the Extreme Juggalos.
The Carter: Looks like business just picked up for the MisFits… I have to wonder though. Why are the MisFits more interested in singles competition than tag team wrestling as of late? Wasn’t their goal was to become the champions? They got that and now it seems like this division isn’t good enough for them.
Francine: Good question. Maybe they aren’t content with just tag team gold. Remember when Amanda Cortez was their leader, the MisFits wanted ALL of the titles in GZWA. It wouldn’t be far of a stretch to imagine that they still want to reach that goal.
Prof. X: I fear the day when one sole entity in this company possesses all of the championships. That much power is too much for any Superstar nor Vixen to have in their possession.
Francine: I beg to differ, Professor. If you’re THAT damn good, then you should aspire to acquire everything this company has to offer to prove that you are as good as you say you are.
Laura Jackson dragged Psycho Sagus to his feet and gave a cut throat motion to Casey Cortez, signaling for Spike Piledriver. Just before Laura was about to leap from the top rope, Matthew Miles walked the ropes and delivered a Springboard Stunner (Super RKO) to the Tattooed Beauty. Before Miles could pat himself on the back, Casey retaliated with The Fembomb (Jacknife Powerbomb), throwing Psycho Sagus into Miles’ arms as both of their bodies impact into the corner. The Extreme Juggalos’ Ryan Kendrick attempted to come to the Mega Busters’ aid, but Casey moves out of the way, causing Kendrick to impact in the corner with a Stinger Splash. This blow sandwiches the Mega Busters into the corner as Casey adds to the sandwich with a Running Big Splash of her own to leave all 3 Superstars in the corner. Casey then turns her attention to the waking Enigma with a Spinout Lariat (Luke Harper-style), but he stuns her with a Sitout Jawbreaker to send her reeling momentarily. This gives The Enigma the opportunity to follow up with a 720 DDT (Springboard Spinning Tornado DDT) that plants the Queen of Submission’s skull into the canvas with authority.
With everyone still down, the Enigma throws caution to the wind as he climbs the nearby turnbuckle after throwing his shirt to the screaming fans in attendance.
Prof. X: Looks like The Enigma is ready to fly!
The Enigma then took flight with the No Limit (Corkscrew 630 Degree Swanton Bomb), only to have his flight plans derailed mid-flight by Dequan Wallace nailing him during the No Limit with The Gore. An audible gasp of shock followed by chants of “HOLY SHIT!!” fill the arena as the GZWA Nation are in disbelief by this amount of athleticism in this opening contest.
The Carter: Dequan Wallace literally broke The Enigma in half!
Dequan Wallace tried to cover the High-Flying Extremist, but the Enigma wisely rolled underneath the ropes and out of the ring upon impact. Ronda Rousey checked to see if he was okay while Dequan wasn’t going to allow the Enigma to safely recover. The Enigma shoved Ronda out of harm’s way as Dequan dove through the ropes with a Suicide Dive, knocking both Superstars to the floor.
Prof. X: Look at this destruction around us, ladies and gentlemen. This is our opening contest and yet the bodies of all sixteen of these men and women who honorably put their lives on the line every time that they perform for this company are scattered in and out of the ring.
Back in the ring, Ryan Kendrick rallies the troops back to their feet. Kendrick Irish whips Casey and G-Money Briggs into two opposite corners of the ring. Kendrick drops on all fours as Psycho Sagus accepted the invitation to this party with a Poetry in Motion to the Queen of Submission. Matthew Miles repeated the gesture in the opposite corner and Sagus repeated the attack to G-Money. G-Money Briggs crashed the party with a Pumphandle Slam with the intent to drop Sagus on top of Miles’ spine. Fortunately, Psycho Sagus drops behind G-Money and covers him with a backslide pin. G-Money immediately powers out but the Tattooed Beauty accidentally drops a Diving Guillotine Leg Drop over the throat of the lone Enforcer as she tried to break the pin. As Laura Jackson cursed herself for her mistake, the Straight-Edge Juggalo blinded her with a spray of Red Mist while Matthew Miles delivered a 450 Splash to the grounded Enforcer.
ONE...
Dequan Wallace tried to return back to the ring to stop the pin attempt but those plans were derailed by a well-timed Twist of Fate from The Enigma.
TWO…
THREE!!
Prof. X: A valiant effort by all of these teams in this match. I must say, our tag team division are turning into quite the must-see spectacle.
Francine: I dunno, professor. It’s been must-see-TV since Dead or Alive for me.
The scene begins backstage with the Beautiful Dragon, Mei Long, front and center to the camera view as she rests her foot onto a large chest, tying one of her wrestling boots. The main event is next, and as Mei Long is prepared this time to face Carnage once again, but the stipulations are different, which explains the sigh that she sneaks into the air from under her breath. Not only does she have to face Carnage, but she has to face her boyfriend as well. Her partner? "Unpredictability" with legs.
Speaking of which, the deranged one known as Ry Drake walks by with his headphones in past Mei, stops a little ahead of her. Turns around, pulls off his headphones then extends his hand.
The hand is the first thing Mei sees before she straightens her upper body upwards, viewing the rest of the body.
Ry: You must be Mei Long, my tag team partner on PrimeTime right? I'm GZWA's most wanted psycho Ry Drake. Its a pleasure.
Mei Long wastes no time in striking a welcoming smile and responding to his handshake request, but her dialogue begins with chuckling. Probably due to her partner's rather spontaneous introduction.
Mei: “Nice to meet you...."most wanted psycho Ry Drake". I didn't exactly think that we would join forces in this match tonight, but since we have a common enemy-Carnage-I can see why we are placed into this predicament.”
Ry: “I didn’t think i would be in the ring with someone so perfect *holding a mirror* Oh I'm sorry about that. *puts down mirror* I don't care who i fight or how many I fight. I just like fighting and pancakes mainly fighting. Rocky and Carnage shouldn't be too hard, deep down they are just pussies.
Mei: “Rocky isn't bad. It's just taking him a while to move away from this group that had a hold on him.”
Mei Long was tolerant to any backlash towards Rocky, unless it turned physical. She certainly felt more conflict than before being aligned through booking with one of her boyfriend’s enemies. Even worse, Rocky was in the match as well. Mei still believed that through the issues they were having, that Mei could still get to him.
Mei steps away from the brown chest and heads towards the hallway alongside her current tag partner.
Mei: “Well, I just hope that this following match might leave you optimistic. Just this once. ”
Mei Long looks away from Ry Drake, but eye contact proved to be a mistake. Suddenly, Ry Drake is jumped from behind onto the floor. A trio of men mounting over Ry Drake with stomps to various parts of his body. Mei is initially in shock…
….until she notices the back of one of the men’s head. The smaller man between two large, bulky ones. She grabs the smaller man by the shoulder, turning him to her direction. A shouting contest commences.
Mei: “Rocky, are you crazy? Why would…”
Rocky: “I told you to stay out of my business! How many times should I have to tell ya this?! I can take them booking this damn main event match, but you have to audacity to be….talking to him?! GZWA’s smallest cockroach! What’s goin on now? You’re tryin to get busy with this…hijo de puta.”
Mei: “He is my tag partner, I’m not supposed to say anything?”
Rocky: “Damn right!”
Mei: “Well, I should not be forced to isolate myself from anyone. Besides, why would I ever be unfaithful to you?”
Rocky: “Well, history has shown that you flock to the top dog in town!”
Now Mei expresses shock with the simple gasp…before slowly and smoothly transitioning to a fiery glare.
Mei: “How dare-“
The commotion in the hallway is broken into silence. The couple, and the other two men, shifts their attention to the ground, filled in puzzlement, or disgust in Romero’s case.
Ry Drake lays on the ground in hysterical laughter, holding his stomach to keep himself from choking, or potentially dying.
Ry: *stands up wiping his hand against his mouth* someone must have left one of the doors open. I think I got stung, so” *turns to Rocky* “can you step aside roid monkey and let me talk to my tag partner?”
Rocky answers to that permission by stepping in front of Mei Long with discontent still in his eyes. A throaty grunt slips out of mouth to further express it.
However, Mei chooses a different answer by rushing past Romero with a bump on his shoulder. She leans forward to Ry and lends a hand out to him, which he accepts. Once Mei helps Ry up to his feet on the floor, Mei continues her vicious glare back to Rocky, with an instantaneous huff out of her nostrils. Mei walks to another location far from the Authority. Ry Drake hurrying behind her.
Ry: “If that's one half of the team, I can't wait to meet the other. This will be a very fun night. What's the deal with you two?”
"To be honest..." Mei responds before looking back at Ry "I don't know at this point."
Ry: “Ok, Then you won't mind in the match that I punch a hole in his face and shove Carnage through it.”
Mei: ”Um…
Her answer is quickly interrupted by an interesting discovery in the hallway. Ry Drake sees a unattended GZWA camera and picks it up. then puts a I.O.U note in its place.
Ry: “Yea, they won't miss this will they?
(Transitions to Ry Drake’s Promo)
*** Singles Match ***
"The American Predator" Zane
vs.
Jaser "JD" Cruz
Primetime returns with Jaser Cruz and Zane standing face to face in the middle of the ring. Jaser Cruz busts out laughing, completely disregarding his opponent as a threat and began to walk off.
Prof. X: Look at that, Jaser has completely no respect for anyone but himself.
Francine: That’s not true. He respects his fellow partners-in-crime within the Clique. His eyes is on the prize currently held by Mike Bradley – the GZWA Television Championship.
The Carter: Still, that’s no excuse not to treat this match as non-important! Zane has been turning heads since his debut and he’s definitely has been on Sheik MMA’s radar.
Prof. X: Let’s hope that Sheik MMA won’t get involved in this match.
Zane grabs Jaser by the arm and spun him around to face him. Jaser didn’t take lightly to the gesture and reintroduced himself to the young Superstar with a Spinning Chick Kick. Zane ducks underneath the kick and threw Jaser overhead with a Release German Suplex. Jaser lands safely on his feet behind Zane, shaking his head. Zane spun around and experienced the first Swinging Neckbreaker in the trio of the 3 Amigos (Three Swinging Neckbreakers in succession). Jaser then dusts off his hands with this ordeal and quickly races back into action to deliver a Running Sitout Facebuster to the waking Zane.
Zane swats Jaser out of the air with a well-timed Chokeslam, leaving Jaser Cruz writhing on the canvas. Zane hoists Jaser back to his feet into an Abdominal Stretch, hammering onto Jaser’s ribs repeatedly with his free arm before transitioning into a Pumphandle Slam. Jaser slides behind Zane after the young rookie positioned Jaser onto his shoulders and dropkicked him into the corner. With Zane in the corner, Jaser charged into the corner with a Shining Wizard. Zane caught Jaser onto his shoulders and executed the Hat-Trick (Double Powerbomb deadlifted up into a Release Powerbomb). Zane motioned to hoist Jaser back to his feet only for Jaser to roll him up into a Small Package.
The Carter: Looks like Jaser is trying to steal the win and make victory slip between Zane’s fingers.
Francine: Carter, I’m sure you’re the definitive expert on ‘small packages’...
The Carter: Wait a second… HEY!!
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Zane rolls through with a reversal into a Single Leg Boston Crab but Jaser’s resourcefulness kicks in with a reversal of his own in the form of a Single Knee Facebuster to stop Zane before the hold was properly administered. With the American Predator stunned, Jaser continued his offense with a STO Backbreaker Combination. Jaser Cruz took the time to mock his adversary by taking a formal bow (like his partner-in-crime within the Clique, reigning Vixen Champion, Raven). Zane shook off the cobwebs and took the opportunity to retaliate with a successful Pumphandle Slam to the young Cruz sibling.
Zane motions for the Coup de Grâce (Package Piledriver) but Sheik MMA storms the ring to interrupt the match, ending in a disqualification. Jaser Cruz left the two Superstars exchanging blows, blowing the entire match off completely as Primetime took a commercial break.
Prof. X: It looked like Jaser Cruz didn't care either way.
Francine: Naturally, his eyes are on the prize - Mike Bradley's precious Television Championship.
The Carter: It seems like Sheik isn't going to be happy until he gets payback for the embarrassment that Zane gave him since his debut on the GZWA roster.
Footage plays of events that happened earlier in the day of Delta Madison in the backstage area of GZWA playing on her phone. She wore a red plaid shirt and black pants and her short blonde hair tied up messily. The video was a bit grainy, seemingly a “hidden camera” filming. She looks up seeing her cousin, Amiee Vaughan approaching her for a conversation.
Delta Madison: “Look what the cat dragged in…”
Delta spoke looking up from her phone, titlting her head, giving her cousin a closed-lip smile.
Amiee Vaughan: “Ugh, you need to stop saying that because you know I’m allergic to cats.”
Amiee put her hands on her hips and huffed with Delta just rolling her eyes and cackling.
Delta Madison: “Oh, so hows this managing Alice going, hey?”
Amiee looked confused “Who? Who the fuck is Alice?”
Delta raised an eyebrow at Amiee’s carelessness of the girl who she seemingly decided to be the manager of. “You know…. Alice, the girl you’re in lesbian with?”
Amiee thought for a moment still unsure, before coming to a sudden realisation.
Amiee Vaughan: “Oh her… My GOD, she is so annoying. Like, what the hell was I thinking? She is such the worst mess I’ve come across. Like, where do I even begin? I mean, this whole lesbian thing was a ha-ha joke. But I think she is serious, it’s just creepy. I feel she is suffocating me with her, ugh… clinglyness. How could she even announce that she would make out with me if she won the tournament, I mean, she actually told me not to never break her heart.”
Delta Madison: “What, I thought you like people kissing the earth you walked on?”
Amiee dropped her face at Delta’s. “Yeah, I do… But, she’s like… Stalking me. You know. Like, it’s so totally creepy. Why is she SO obsessed with me?”
Delta Madison; “Getting a taste of your own medicine. Brilliant.”
Amiee hit Delta on the shoulder in retaliation. “When I stalk people at least I’m cute and sexy, I lovable dammit!”
Delta Madison: “So, when are you going to break the news to her?”
Amiee Vaughan: “Ew, no. I’m going to do what I usually do…Run and hide, pretending she doesn’t exist.I’ll just say that I have a family emergency again, she’ll believe that.”
Delta crossed her arms giving her red-headed cousin a look of judgement.
Delta Madison: You’re such a terrible human-being.
Amiee cutesy bowed pointing her fingers to her fake smile, pretending to act all innocent. She proceeded to skip away from Delta who then took a deep inhale in worry about how this tag team match will go. The footage abruptly ended going back to the scheduled programming.
*** Singles Match ***
"The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar (debut; w/ Paul Heyman)
vs.
The Undertaker (return)
Prof. X: This is going to be something special here. We haven’t seen the Deadman in a GZWA ring in quite some time. To see him make his return to action here in GZWA against the man that ended his legendary Streak is like we’re getting a PPV bout for free here on this broadcast. Francine: Well, say what you will about GZWA Management but they do care about giving their fans more bang for their buck when it comes to quality wrestling.
The Carter: Don’t forget that the Deadman was the first man to ever hold the coveted GZWA World Heavyweight Championship. I think the Deadman has come back to claim his property.
Francine: Truth be told, that time has long past. The Undertaker has to work his way up the ladder just like everyone else.
The Undertaker enters the ring and Brock Lesnar immediately makes the first move, striking with a vicious Clothesline that sends the Deadman over the top rope. To the Beast Incarnate’s dismay, the Undertaker lands on his feet. The Deadman removes his trenchcoat and climbs back onto the ring apron. Lesnar greets the Phenom with a series of knee lifts between the ropes. Lesnar’s assault is short-lived as the Deadman hops of the ring apron down to the floor as he delivers a rope-assisted Arm Wrench. With Lesnar writhing in pain, Taker climbs back into the ring and wrenches Lesnar’s arm behind him into a Hammerlock before tossing him shoulder-first into the corner post. The Undertaker repeats this gesture at ringside and smashes Lesnar’s shoulder into the corner post once more before rolling him back into the ring. Taker drags Lesnar back to his feet with yet another Arm Wrench before going Old School (Arm Twist Ropewalk Chop). To the Deadman’s surprise, the Beast Incarnate caught The Undertaker onto his shoulders and retaliated with the F-5. Much to Paul Heyman’s delight, Brock Lesnar immediately covers the Phenom.
ONE…
TW--NO!!
The Undertaker manages to kick-out, but the Beast Incarnate doesn’t stop his offense here. He charges towards the waking Deadman with a Spear, Unfortunately, Brock Lesnar misses his target and impacts into the corner post. Brock Lesnar rolls out of the ring to catch his breath, but Taker pursued his foe with a Tope Suicida (Over the top rope Suicide Dive).
The Carter: Looks like we got a flying Deadman! I bet you won’t see that on The Walking Dead!
Francine: Hmph, if walkers could fly that show would be over in a heartbeat...
The Undertaker delivers a series of body hooks and punches to the reeling Beast Incarnate before rolling Lesnar back into the ring with his torso exposed on the ring apron. The Deadman followed suit with a Running Leg Drop to his apron-hung foe. Paul Heyman’s expressions shift from confidence to despair as the Deadman drops the Beast Incarnate into the turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes. With Lesnar stunned, the Deadman grasps around Lesnar’s throat and elevates him overhead for a Chokeslam. Lesnar lands safely behind Taker and lifts him onto his shoulders for another F-5. Fortunately, Taker elbows Lesnar in the skull repeatedly to free himself and tosses the Beast Incarnate into the corner post once again. The Deadman continues his offense with a Running Big Boot to Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate wisely evades out of the ring, causing Taker’s leg to get tied up into the ropes in the corner. Brock Lesnar then took the opportunity to smash Taker’s leg into corner post. Brock Lesnar returned back to the ring and stomped the affected leg repeatedly. The Beast Incarnate turns up the dial on the Deadman’s suffering and applies a Stretch Muffler.
Prof. X: Wise move by the Beast Incarnate. Once you target the Undertaker’s legs you take all of his power out of the equation in this match.
Francine: That mean’s no Last Rides, no Tombstone Piledrivers, nor any Chokeslams. You would take away a vital component of the Deadman’s offense.
The Carter: I don’t know about you guys but this is looking like WrestleMania 30 all over again!
Taker grabs ropes for rope break but Lesnar yanks him off by force onto his shoulders for yet ANOTHER F-5.
The Carter: I can’t believe this!
Prof. X: Impressive display of power by the Beast Incarnate.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Taker rolls out of the ring to recuperate. Much like the Deadman earlier into this match, Brock dished out a few body hooks and punches at ringside to send the Deadman reeling against the ringside barricade. Paul Heyman shouts, “END HIM!” as Brock charged in with a spear through barricade. Taker stopped Brock in his tracks with well-placed Big Boot to daze Brock briefly long enough to retaliate with a Last Ride. The Undertaker drops Brock Lesnar on top of the steel steps in front of him.
Paul Heyman is wrecked with despair while Taker returned to the ring while the GZWA Nation counted along with Referee Slick Johnson’s ring out count.
1…
2...
3…
4…
5…
6…
7…
8…
9…
Brock Lesnar barely makes it back into the ring in time before the count of 10. Taker greets Lesnar with another Chokeslam. Once again, Lesnar maneuvers behind Taker and responds with a Release German Suplex to counter.
Francine: Looks like the Deadman is taking that one way trip to Suplex City...
Brock Lesnar then Irish whips into corner but the Deadman reverses the whip to send Lesnar into the corner instead. The Phenom follows up with a Big Splash into the corner to the reeling Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate isn’t out of the game yet as he caught Taker onto his shoulders and delivered an impressive THIRD F-5 to the Deadman.
The Carter: The Deadman might be dead after that one, folks.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Paul Heyman looks on in disbelief with the rest of the GZWA Nation in attendance as somehow, someway the Undertaker finds the strength to kick out. Taker sits up from the canvas only for an enraged Lesnar to send him flat on his spine with a Low Clothesline. Lesnar covers the Deadman again but Taker rolls through back onto his feet with the Beast Incarnate in his arms. The Phenom drove Lesnar into the canvas with a Tombstone Piledriver and covers him with a Rest in Peace pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Preliminary Round ***
** Singles Match **
“The Jungle Girl” Joanna Tarzanna (debut)
vs.
Veda Scott
Before the match went underway, Veda Scott strode over to ringside and took a microphone.
Veda Scott surveys Joanna from head to toe.
“Hold your horses, Jungle Jane. So this is the young pup who has been spouting off at the mouth about me all week? Is this it? Is this Shanna the She-Devil cosplayer is supposed to be a threat to me in this tournament? I hate to be one to inform you of bad news honey, but you’re in over your head.”
Joanna beckons Veda Scott into the ring while the referee holds her at bay as she continues her rant.
“See? This is what the Authority fights against - this obnoxious lack of respect in the GZWA Nation, from its mindless sheep called its fans to the top and bottom of GZWA roster. I have to take matters in my own hands and get dirty - get physical in this match and prove that the ONLY queen of this jungle.”
Unknown to Veda Scott, both Ashleigh Cash and Alice Shadow were standing behind her as she mocked and made fun of Joanna Tarzanna. Much like the bulk of the GZWA Nation, they were sick of her rambling and grabbed her from behind before tossing her into the ring.
Veda Scott turned to face them shouting, “HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT MY REPRESENTATION OF THE AUTHORITY IN THIS TOURNAMENT! I’LL SHOW ALL OF YOU THAT I’M THE QUEEN OF THIS JUNGLE!”
Joanna taps Veda Scott onto the shoulder, who slowly turned around to face the amazon towering in front of her. Veda Scott made the first move, throwing a punch into the Jungle Girl’s direction only to have Joanna fling her into the ropes with a powerful Irish whip. Veda Scott rebounds from the ropes and back into Joanna’s clutches, who then propelled Veda Scott into the air and sent her crashing back to the canvas with a Military Press Spinebuster. Veda Scott groggily rose back up from the canvas into the pending Raging Slash (Discus Clothesline) from the Jungle Girl.
Prof. X: Much like Ashleigh Cash and Alice Shadow, Joanna Tarzanna is one of the newest students of the Showstoppin’ Senorita herself that GZWA has added to the active roster. I heard Joanna literally came all the way from the amazon jungle to learn the art of professional wrestling. Mariah answered her request and even went as far as providing her with a place to stay while training and working for GZWA.
Francine: That’s nice of her.
The Carter: She’s from the jungle? I wonder if she would like to swing on the vine between my legs sometime…
Francine: Don’t make me and every woman at home throw up, Carter. Besides, I hear she doesn’t swing that way anyway. So you’re out of luck in that department.
The Carter: GODDAMMIT!!!
Prof. X: Looks like Veda Scott is going to try to debate her way out of this predicament.
Veda Scott retreats into the corner and pleads for mercy. She puts her glasses back on and smiles, “You can’t hit anyone wearing glasses!”
Joanna looks to the referee who merely shrugs it off and states, “I’ll allow it.”
Veda Scott’s eyes widen with fear but she lashes out with a Clothesline to Joanna. The Jungle Girl grabbed her arm in motion and twists her wrist to hold Veda Scott in place. She delivers a Heart Punch to the chest of Veda before finishing her off with the Pride of the Amazon (Heart Punch into Mind Trip). With Veda Scott out cold at her feet, Joanna covers Veda Scott with her foot firmly planted on her chest.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Post-match, Veda Scott could be seen arguing with the referee, shouting, "I WASN'T READY YET!" to no avail as Primetime took a commercial break.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Preliminary Round ***
** Singles Match **
Arabella (debut)
vs.
Kelly Moran (debut)
Prof. X: Welcome back, GZWA fans. We’re continuing tonight’s show with the last Queen of Queens Tournament Preliminary Round match between two newly signed Vixens.
Francine: Much isn’t really known about these new girls. I’m anxious to see what they bring to the table, especially to say that Mary took the time to extend the sign-ups for these final two entries.
The Carter: They LITERALLY just finished ironing out their paperwork with the main office a few minutes before tonight’s show started! I caught a glimpse of them signing their contracts backstage when I arrived to the arena.
Francine: D’awww, poor baby. Didn’t get a chance to pour on the trademark Carter charm? Don’t fret, I’m positive they weren’t interested in you in the least.
The Carter: There’s ALWAYS a chance, Frannie!
Francine: Yeah, just like there’s a chance of that Frosty the Snowman could survive in Hell.
After the opening bell, both newly signed Vixens charge towards each other, looking to make the first move. Kelly Moran struck first with a successful Fisherman Swinging Neckbreaker and wastes no time to take to the top rope. She follows up with Guillotine Leg Drop and hooks Arabella’s leg into an early pin attempt.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Arabella throws Kelly Moran across the ring with a Monkey Flip to free herself. Kelly sprung back to her feet and his the ropes. She rebounds with Springboard Flying Clothesline. Arabella responds with Scoop Powerslam to turn the momentum into her favor as she covers Kelly to the mat.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Kelly Moran lifts her shoulder off the canvas. Her competitive fire hasn’t been extinguished that easily as she wills herself to back to a vertical base while holding a shocked Arabella firmly in her grasp. Kelly throws Arabella overhead with an impressive deadlift-style Exploder Suplex.
The Carter: Kelly’s definitely pretty and she’s pretty damn strong to pull off something like that too!
Francine: That’s what being a GZWA Vixen is all about Carter. We shatter the stereotypes and labels of what people THINK they know about what women bring to the table in this sport. We’re full of surprises.
Prof. X: I’m proud to say that GZWA has the best women in the world on our roster. It’s definitely an asset to have so many talented female athletes here.
As Arabella struggles to return to her feet, Kelly Moran sprinted towards the corner and vaulted up to the top rope. Kelly performed a Double Jump Missile Dropkick to the waking Arabella, knocking her into the adjacent corner. Arabella’s spine whiplashes against the corner post upon impact while Kelly Moran charged in for the kill. Kelly Moran flies into the corner with a Cross Body, only for Arabella to respond with a Snap Suplex which sent Kelly into the corner post instead while simultaneously trapping Kelly Moran into a tree of woe position.
Prof. X: Well that’s one way to pay Kelly Moran back for her earlier gesture…
Arabella continued her offense with a Springboard Enzuigiri to the trapped Kelly Moran and executed a rope-hung variation of a Swinging Neckbreaker to bring Kelly Moran back down to Earth.
Prof. X: Is that enough to put Kelly Moran away?
Arabella goes for the win with another pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THR—NO!!!
Francine: Color me impressed. These new girls aren’t just pretty faces after all.
The Carter: Don’t judge your books by their covers, Frannie.
Francine: Shut up, Carter. I wasn’t aware you possessed the brain cells to read, let alone owning anything other than picture books and dirty magazines with sticky pages.
Arabella pulls at her hair after the near-fall, wondering what she has to do to pull out the win here. Arabella dragged Kelly back to her feet and sent her into the ropes with a powerful Irish Whip. Kelly Moran rebounds back into Arabella’s clutches who awaits with a Spinning Sidewalk Slam. Kelly has other plans in mind as she uses her momentum to turn the tide of this hairy situation yet again, reversing the Spinning Sidewalk Slam into a Headscissor Takedown transitioned into a Lungblower.
With the crowd on their feet, Kelly Moran crawls over to cover Arabella but resourceful Vixen rolls Kelly over into a Gannosuke Clutch from out of nowhere to pin Kelly’s shoulders to the mat.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Quarter-Final Exhibition ***
** 3-on-3 Tag Team Match **
"The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis, Amber Torres, and "Fearless" Nikki Bella
vs.
"Lady so Divine" Delta Madison, Alice Shadow, and Natasha Rose
Prof. X: Up next, we have six of the women who have already advanced in the preliminaries of the Queen of Queens Tournament having to iron out their differences in a 3-on-3 Tag Team Match.
Francine: Given all of these egos and personalities in one place, I doubt there’s going to be much teamwork here.
The Carter: At least they are pleasant on the eyes!
Francine: Oh please, you much rather see them all in G-strings fighting a pool of vanilla pudding…
The Carter: Is it too late to change the match stipulation? Where’s Serena Dent when I need her??
Francine facepalms as the cameras switch to the action in the ring as Nikki Bella and Alice Shadow start things off. The two Vixens locking up before Nikki Bella shoves Alice Shadow to the mat with an impressive display of power. Alice Shadow looks surprised momentarily before springing back up to her feet and delivering the first in a series of Running Neckbreakers. After the third, Nikki stops her mid-sprint by elevating Alice into the air and dropping her over her knee in a modified Gutbuster. Nikki then tagged out to Morgan Davis, who entered the ring with a BooTee Print (Rump Shaker Pin). Alice Shadow wisely rolled out of harm’s way and tagged out to the Lady so Divine. Both Vixens stared down as commentary chimed in.
The Carter: If Morgan Davis and Delta Madison get past their Quarter-Final matches, this is a match-up I wouldn’t mind seeing to be quite honest.
Francine: The keyword there is IF, Carter. Amber has proved to be a constant thorn in Morgan’s side for months now while Nikki Bella isn’t a pushover herself, regardless of what you may think of her work in that ‘other’ company.
Delta Madison broke the silence between them with a Low Dropkick to bring the Georgia Peach down to one knee and followed up with a Step-Up Enzuigiri. Morgan ducked the kick and responded with a Backdrop to send the Lady so Divine to the canvas. Morgan then leapfrogs over Delta Madison’s prone body and vaults off the 2nd rope in the turnbuckle with a Diving Splash (Jack Swagger-style) to pin the Lady so Divine on the mat. Referee Jacqueline Moore doesn’t make the count.
Before Morgan could utter “What the fuck?” Amber Torres confidently enters the ring with a Slingshot Splash over the spine of Morgan Davis while she’s on top of the Lady so Divine.
The Carter: Well, that’s one way to get physical with your teammate…
Morgan Davis tries to retaliate but Nikki Bella stood in between the Georgia Peach and the Clique’s trickster. Amber gave Morgan a cheshire grin before covering Delta Madison.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!
Delta Madison reverses with a La Magistral pin.
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!
Amber Torres kicks out as Morgan Davis could be seen standing on the ring apron, grinning from ear to ear. The Lady so Divine transitions into an application of the Juji Gatame. Amber kicks wildly in the hold as Morgan Davis remains on the ring apron with her back to Amber Torres while Nikki Bella rolls her eyes before breaking the hold. Nikki tries to help Amber to her feet only to be pushed away with Amber’s hand planted on her face in a pie-face gesture.
Francine: How rude. She was only wanting to help. She might want to actually want to win this match y’know…
During this altercation, the Lady so Divine positions herself onto the top rope and delivers a Diving Spinning Lariat to the waking Amber Torres. Amber responds in time with an ATLien Assault (Jump Implant DDT) and goes for the pin but once again, Referee Jacqueline Moore won’t make the count. Natasha Rose blindsides Amber from behind with an Inverted DDT and goes for a pin of her own.
ONE…
TWO…
TH--NO!!!
Amber wisely rolls out of the ring after the near-fall but Nikki Bella and Morgan Davis are standing at the bottom of the entrance ramp, blocking her escape plans. Her own two teammates roll the feisty latina back into the ring where Natasha Rose greets her with the Reality Check (Bicycle Kick). Alice Shadow follows up with the Dark Shadow (Paige Turner) and Delta Madison adds to the assault with the Delta Force (Shooting Star Press). Finally, Natasha Rose applies the Thorns of a Rose (Inverted Sharpshooter/Double Chicken Wing combination) add the final nail in the coffin as Amber Torres instantly submits to the hold.
Prof. X: Take a picture of that one, folks. I can guarantee that’s going to be the VERY last time that we see all of these Vixens on the same page like this, especially with the Quarter-Finals of the Queen of Queens Tournament coming up.
Francine: Can you blame them, though? Someone has to shut up the Clique eventually. I’m just glad Amber got hers tonight.
The Carter: I’m sure Morgan Davis is loving this, especially after what transpired between those two on LiveWire.
*** Singles Match ***
"Miss Murda" Mandisa Carter
vs.
"Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah
Primetime returns from commercial break to show Mariah at ringside hugging one of the members of the audience.
The Carter: My god, who’s that hottie!!??
Francine: I believe that’s Momma Cruz herself.
Prof. X: You are correct, Francine.
As Mariah stood on the top rope posing and blowing kisses to her fans, Mandisa went straight to business, striking the Showstoppin’ Senorita from behind with a Double Axe Handle and slamming her back to the canvas with a Sitout Powerbomb.
ONE…
TWO…
THR--NO!!!
The Carter: That was a close call there.
Mandisa raises Mariah back up onto her shoulders in a Spiral Bomb. Mariah uses Miss Murder’s momentum against her as she responds with an Inverted Hurracanrana to faceplant Mandisa to the canvas. The Showstoppin’ Senorita then rebounds from the ropes with a Handspring Splash before covering Mandisa Carter.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Mandisa powers out to break the pin and sends Mariah flying across the ring. Mariah kips back up to her feet and right into the Spinning Back Fist from Mandisa. As Mariah reels from the blow, Mandisa reels her back towards her with a handful of Mariah’s hair and delivers Headbutt to the back of Mariah’s skull. Mariah doubles over into the corner as Mandisa elevates the Showstoppin’ Senorita onto her shoulders with an Accordion-style Torture Rack.
Prof. X: Good grief! The human body isn’t supposed to bend like THAT!
She transitions into a Backbreaker Rack Drop to send Mariah to the canvas in a lifeless heap. Miss Murda doesn’t go for a pin attempt but raises Mariah back to her feet with a Two Handed Choke Bomb. Mariah struck Mandisa in the midsection with a double knee strike, forcing the Clique’s amazon to release her. Mariah fell back to the canvas with a Double Knee Facebuster to send Mandisa reeling as Mariah finally found a way to turn the momentum into her favor. Mariah hit the ropes and retaliated with a Reverse Casadora Bulldog to Mandisa. Mandisa quickly sat up from the canvas as Mariah reintroduced herself with a series of Kawada Kicks (Rapid fire repeated kicks to the face) before finishing the series off with a Blade Kick (Buzzsaw Kick). Mariah covered Mandisa as Referee Jacqueline Moore made the count.
ONE…
WAIT!!
Mandisa played possum long enough to spring up with a Mariah in tow for a Release Belly to Belly Suplex, throwing the Showstoppin’ Senorita into the turnbuckle behind her. Mandisa Carter returned to her feet, charged into the corner and delivered the Straight Ballin’ (Corner Cannonball Senton). Dragging Mariah back to her feet by the hair out of the corner, Mandisa follows suit with a Diving Reverse DDT, but Mariah counters with O.O.C. (Testdrive). She then follows up with a Split-Legged Moonsault from the top rope, only for Mandisa to catch the Showstoppin’ Senorita onto her shoulders with the Divamolisher (Omega Driver).
Francine: (Cringing) Yeah that’s definitely the nail in the coffin there… Stick a fork in her, she’s done.
Prof. X: Not quite…
Since she’s so close to the ropes after impact, Mariah wisely rolls out of the ring to avoid the inevitable cover for the pinfall victory. Mandisa reaches over the rope and reels Mariah back in by the hair, kicking and screaming. Mariah freed herself with a rope-assisted Inverted Jawbreaker as Mandisa laid stunned with her body hung over the ropes. Mariah willed herself back up to her feet and climbed the turnbuckle, positioning herself on the top rope.
The Carter: What is she doing now?
Mariah executes a diving variation of the Too Hot for TV (Booker T Scissor Kick), sending Mandisa whiplashing backwards and landing flat on her back on the mat. From the ring apron, Mariah launches herself back into the ring with a Slingshot Senton and covers Mandisa for the win.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: A convincing win by the Showstoppin’ Senorita as she moves one step closer to facing Raven for the Vixen Championship at Devils May Cry.
*** Singles Match - Non-Title Match ***
GZWA Vixen Champion "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven
vs.
"Wonder Girl" Ashley Wonder (w/ Little Wonder)
The Carter: The Wonder Girl has golden opportunity of her fabled career thus far. She’s facing off against another GZWA title holder. I wonder if she’s going to hook her magic lasso around Raven and make her behave herself.
Francine: ...or Raven ends up choking her with that said lasso instead.
Prof. X: In either case, we can look forward to more action with the GZWA Vixens here tonight.
Ashley Wonder tries to shake Raven’s hand at the start of the match. The Ultimate Vixen looks at the Wonder Girl’s gesture and erupts into a fit of laughter while Little Wonder and the rest of the GZWA Nation look on confused.
Prof. X: I’m appalled to see our resident champion completely spit in the face of good sportsmanship!
Francine: I’m not surprised. Given Raven’s massive ego, I doubt that she considers Wonder Girl on her “level” to even share the same ring with her, let alone touch her.
Raven waves a hand for Ashley Wonder to go away, but Ashley Wonder shakes it anyway to Raven’s disgust. Raven reels her in and executes a Scheiße (Side Effect) to break the gesture as the bell rung to officially start this match. Raven continues her assault on the Wonder Girl with a series of repeated stomps around her body. She dusts her feet off on Ashley Wonder before forcing her back up to her feet with a Revolver (Cobra Clutch Backbreaker), but Ashley frees herself with Inverted Jawbreaker before Raven properly executes the maneuver.
With the momentum on her side, Ashley hits a Running Bulldog to the Ultimate Vixen to send her face-first into the canvas. Raven quickly retorted with a Clothesline as she sprung up from the canvas, only for the Wonder Girl to wrench Raven’s arm while she walked the ropes. Wonder Girl followed suit with a Jumping Neckbreaker. With the Vixen Champion grounded, the Wonder Girl positioned herself on the top rope for a Shooting Star Senton but the Vixen Champion wisely slides out of the ring to recuperate.
Prof. X: Love or hate her, but you have to respect the resourcefulness and veteran experience from our reigning Vixen Champion.
The Wonder Girl motions to pursue this villain but Mandisa Carter stares down with Wonder Girl to make her reconsider. Little Wonder tries to divert Miss Murder’s attention, but that gesture only manages to anger the Clique’s powerhouse. Fearing for her the safety of her friend, the Wonder Girl goes all in or nothing by sprinting across the ropes and dives to the ringside area with a Jumping Clothesline to Mandisa.
The Carter: Little Wonder and Wonder Girl must have a death wish or something to try to trifle with Mandisa.
Before Ashley Wonder could pat herself on the back and check to see if Little Wonder was alright, Raven attacked her from behind with a Fall Back (Edge’O Matic) at ringside before rolling Wonder back into the ring. Raven covers the Wonder Girl with a Leverage pin.
Prof. X: No, not like this!
Francine: I’m sure Victor’s familiar with that position…
The Carter: Say wha???
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!
Referee Jacqueline Referee stops the count and forces Raven to remove her legs off the ropes. Of course, Raven plays innocent and strikes with [Morrison’s] Running Knee Strike to face as Ashley Wonder sits up from the canvas. The Wonder Girl turns the tables on the Vixen Champion with a School Boy Roll Up.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!
Raven flips Ashley Wonder over into an application of the Ask for More (Torture Crab/Elevated Boston Crab kneeling on the opponent’s back or neck). Little Wonder pounds on the ring apron to urge the Wonder Girl to keep fighting. Mandisa Carter stood silently behind her until Little Wonder promptly silenced her motivational cheers and immediately shut up.
Fortunately, Little Wonder’s fears are eased once Ashley Wonder latches onto the ropes to force a rope break. Raven maintains her grip as the referee began the illegal hold count.
1…
2…
3…
Prof. X: It looks like the Vixen Champion wants to leave a lasting impression on this newcomer.
Francine: Well that’s one way to look at Raven’s foul play.
The Carter: “Foul play”? Raven just wants to show these new Vixens that she means business and why she’s at the top of the food chain in the Vixen division.
Ashley Wonder limped back to her feet as Raven lined up and struck with the Bitch Kick (Chick Kick). The Wonder Girl ducked the incoming blow and counters with a Russian Legsweep. The Wonder Girl positioned herself back on the top rope and performed a picture perfect Diving 450 Splash to the grounded Vixen Champion. The Wonder Girl hooked Raven’s leg and went for the win.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Prof. X: A mere second away and the Wonder Girl would have had bragging rights of having a pinfall victory over the reigning Vixen Champion.
Francine: Hmph, the Wonder Girl is definitely continuing to turn heads here in GZWA.
Raven wisely rolls out of the ring again, clenching onto the ring apron as she tried to regain her bearings. Ashley Wonder wasn’t going to let the Ultimate Vixen get away from her when victory is almost in her grasp. The Wonder Girl dove through the ropes with a Suicide Dive, only for the Vixen Champion to swat her out of the air with a steel chair from underneath the ring. Referee Jacqueline Moore immediately signals for the bell to award Ashley Wonder the win via disqualification.
Prof. X: The Wonder Girl has prevailed with a victory tonight, but not the way that she imagined to obtain it.
The Carter: Yeah, things aren’t looking ‘wonderful’ for the Wonder Girl right now…
Francine: Raven resorted to such a vile tactic just to avoid embarrassment.
Little Wonder races over to Ashley Wonder’s side to check to see if she’s alright Mandisa Carter shoves her aside to the floor. Raven drags Ashley Wonder back to her feet and sets the Wonder Girl up for High Price (Edgecution) on the steel chair. Mariah races down to the ring to intervene. Raven spun around and saw Mariah in time to react with a swing of the steel chair after tossing Ashley Wonder aside. Mariah evades the blow but Raven ends up smashing the steel chair over the skull of Mariah’s mom instead.
An enraged Mariah chases after Raven only to be roadblocked by Mandisa Carter at the bottom of the entrance ramp. The Showstoppin’ Senorita ducks the incoming clothesline and smashes Mandisa’s face into the turnbuckle with the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). As soon as Mariah turned around to continue her pursuit of the Ultimate Vixen, Raven knocks her out with the Bitch Kick (Chick Kick).
Francine: You know Mariah’s not going to sit quietly about that. Raven has brought Mariah’s family into this rivalry on multiple occasions, but not like this.
The Carter: Just look at her, she ENJOYED doing that to Mariah’s mother!
Prof. X: That Raven is one nasty, vile jezebel indeed.
*** Singles Match - Non-Title Match ***
GZWA Television Champion "The Next Level" Mike Bradley
vs.
"The Architect" Chris Matthews
Primetime returns from commercial break with this match already in progress with the Architect launching himself into the ring with a Springboard Clothesline. Mike responds with a Bitch Please (One-Handed Bulldog) to counter. With Matthews grounded, the Next Level opts for a Grapevine Ankle but Matthews sprung up from the canvas with a Jumping Enzuigiri to break the hold prematurely. With the Next Level stunned, the Architect capitalized with a Brainbuster DDT and covers Mike.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Chris Matthews doesn’t worry about the kickout as he follows up with a Standing Moonsault. Mike defends with his knees up and plants the reeling Architect into the canvas with a Float-over DDT after stylishly popping back to his feet. Mike shows off a little with a Spinning Headstand and transitions into a Leg Drop over the throat of Architect. Matthews avoids the Leg Drop and retaliates with a quick kick to the chest of the seated Television Champion, only for Mike avoid the kick completely by rolling Matthews up into a School Boy.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Much like Mike Bradley moments prior, Chris Matthews doesn’t stay down. Mike hits the ropes and Chris Matthews leapfrogs over the incoming Next Level. Mike returns with a Springboard Tornado DDT, but Matthews dropkicks him out of the way to stop his execution abruptly. As Mike crawls on all-fours catching his breath, Matthews goes for the Piece of Mind (Jumping Curb Stomp), but Mike moves out of the way and delivers a Spinebuster to take the wind out of Matthews’ sails.
The Next Level then climbed the nearby turnbuckle and prepared for the Hang 20 (Corkscrew Moonsault) to the grounded Architect. Matthews races up to join Mike Bradley on the top rope, prompting an physical exchange. The duo traded blows left and right before a headbutt sent Matthews reeling back to the canvas. Mike Bradley leapt from the top rope with a Missile Dropkick to the rising Chris Matthews. The Architect caught Bradley onto his shoulders and propelled the Next Level back into the corner with a Turnbuckle Powerbomb. Matthews follows up with a Stinger Splash into the corner, only for Mike to instinctively respond with a Front Falling Side Slam (think Rock Bottom) to rail the Architect’s offense.
Mike was still showing signs of fatigue after surviving the Powerbomb into the corner, he’s slow to cover the Architect.
ONE…
TWO…
TH--WAIT!!
Matthews reverses into an application of a Single Leg Boston Crab. Mike motions for a rope break but the Architect reels him back towards the center of the ring. Mike rolls his hips and frees himself with a kick to the gut that sends Matthews reeling into the ropes behind him. Mike kips back up to his feet and executes the Final Boss (Standing Moonsault Side Slam) to the incoming Chris Matthews. Mike Bradley falls to the canvas alone on all-fours as Matthews flips overhead and lands onto his feet safely. Matthews hits the ropes and returns with the Piece of Mind (Jumping Curb Stomp) to the waking Next Level.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: Chris Matthews has a win against the reigning champion! Does that mean he’s in the chase for the Television Championship?
Francine: That’s a good question there, professor.
Chris Matthews doesn’t even get a chance to savor his victory as Jaser Cruz attacks the Architect from behind, laying him out with the Television Championship. With Mike Bradley down next to Matthews, Jaser Cruz tosses the title on top of the Next Level as Primetime took a commercial break.
*** Tornado Tag Team Extreme Rules Match ***
GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "Hardcore Monster" Carnage (w/ Veda Scott) & "The Cuban Hooligan" Rocky Romero
vs.
"The Dream Killer" Ry Drake & "The Beautiful Dragon" Mei Long
Prof. X: Welcome back, GZWA fans. Coming up next is our first of two main events for tonight’s broadcast as the Authority’s own will face the rebellious Ry Drake and Mei Long in an Extreme Rules match.
Francine: Hmph, you would think it was enough punishment for Mei Long to face Carnage in an one-on-one match during our last broadcast. I’m no stranger to hardcore matches from my days in ECW but this is a bit much.
The Carter: Imagine the situation what Rocky Romero has to be in emotionally between his loyalty to the Authority and his loyalty to girlfriend here. He has to be torn.
Prof. X: Those of you who are just tuning in will notice that Veda Scott is nowhere to be seen for this match. That is because of her prompt thrashing at the hands of the debuting Joanna Tarzanna earlier tonight during the preliminaries of the Queen of Queens Tournament.
As the Hardcore Monster and Cuban Hooligan head to the ring, Rocky Romero purposely trails behind Carnage and stands idly by at ringside while Carnage entered the ring with Ry Drake and Mei Long.
Prof. X: It looks like Rocky Romero is purposely avoiding getting physical with Mei Long.
The Carter: I wish I could get “physical” with her…
Francine: Keep your thoughts to yourself, Carter.
The Carter: A man can dream can’t he?
Francine: No, because your dreams have real life consequences that I want all over the floor at this table.
Rocky Romero refuses to get into the ring despite Carnage’s demands. Ry Drake and Mei Long took their dispute as a golden opportunity to get a pre-emptive strike on the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. This turn of events forces Carnage to deal with the incoming Mei and Ry single-handedly with a Double Clothesline to level them to the mat. With Romero still refusing to get involved, Carnage decided to deliver the source of his misbehavior to Romero to change his attitude by sending Mei Long over the top rope and falling at his feet via a Military Press Slam. Rocky Romero attempts to help her to her feet, but Mei Long slaps his hand away and an argument between the couple ensues in Spanish.
Francine: Subtitles, please!
Back in the ring, Ry Drake avoids an incoming Running Lariat from Carnage and dives out of the ring into Rocky Romero with Diving Cannonball to deliver his own brand of couple’s counseling.
Carnage pursues with a Flying Splash from top rope but Mei Long and Ry Drake move out of the way, allowing the Hardcore Monster to crash at ringside on top of the already grounded Cuban Hooligan. Ry Drake pulls out two kendo sticks from underneath the ring and hands one to the Beautiful Dragon. The duo greet the waking Carnage with several strikes to the spine. It doesn’t take long to anger the Hardcore Monster as he snatches the kendo sticks away and returns the punishment to the Dream Killer and Beautiful Dragon. Ry Drake takes the role of a martyr and stood in front of Mei Long to protect her from harm, dropping to his knees from the sheer force of the blow.
The Carter: Rocky Romero could take a lesson from the Dream Killer in terms of chivalry.
Mei Long silently thanks the Dream Killer by leaping off the ring apron and delivering a 720 DDT to the Hardcore Monster. Even that blow wasn’t enough to keep him down as the Hardcore Monster stood back up on jelly legs. Ry Drake hammered a steel chair over Carnage’s spine before smashing it over his head like noose. Mei Long dropkicks the Hardcore Monster from behind into the corner post, causing the chair around his neck to sandwich around his skull violently. Carnage staggers from the blow and collapses on top of the commentary table for support. The commentary team moves out of the way as Ry Drake delivers Cactus Jack-style Diving Elbow Drop to the spine of the Hardcore Monster to sacrifice both Superstars’ well-being.
Mei Long applauds the Dream Killer’s efforts, only to be scolded by the waking Cuban Hooligan. Another verbal altercation occurs but quickly ends once Mei Long sent Romero’s head spinning with a stiff slap to the face. As Romero looks on in shock, Ry Drake slides back into the ring and tackles him to the canvas with a Lou Thesz Press. Mei Long sets up a few tables at ringside but her concern goes towards the waking Carnage rising up from the debris. Romero flips Drake from off his chest and turns the tables with a Double Underhook DDT. With Carnage a few feet away and Rocky Romero in the ring, Mei Long had a risky decision to make.
Prof. X: It’s like being between a rock and a hard place.
Rocky Romero beckons her closer while Carnage inches closer by the second. The Beautiful Dragon shows no fear towards the Hardcore Monster as she spun around with a Dragon Kiss (Windmill Kick). Carnage caught her foot in motion, elevated her onto his shoulders, and slammed her against the ring apron with the Buckle Bomb (Running Powerbomb). Mei Long dropped to her knees after her spine whiplashed against the ring apron. Carnage held her by her hair, ready to finish her off with the Total Annihilation (Spiral Bomb). The ever-crazy, ever-chivalrous Dream Killer dove through the ropes with a Flying Clothesline into the Hardcore Monster.
The Carter: Does that guy have a death wish or something?
Francine: At this rate, Mei Long is going to run out of I.O.U. slips to give Ry Drake.
Ry Drake continued hammer Carnage with a barrage of punches, only for the Hardcore Monster to power out with a Shoulder Thrust which rams the Dream Killer into the ring apron and leaves him in the same situation as the Beautiful Dragon.
Rocky Romero watches as Carnage rolls the Dream Killer and the Beautiful Dragon back into the ring.
The Carter: I wish they would hurry up and end this already. This is getting hard to watch…
The Hardcore Monster stretches their bodies near the center of the ring before positioning himself on the top rope.
Prof. X: Looks like Carnage is in the mood for pancakes.
The Carter: But there’s no room service here!
Francine: Does it look like he cares? There’s going to be two grease stains on the canvas formerly known as Ry Drake and Mei Long after Carnage is done with them.
Carnage motions for Flying Splash on grounded duo, but he’s tossed from the top rope with a Biel Throw from Shawn Rodriguez! The Hardcore Monster is sent crashing through the tables at ringside.
Prof. X: What the hell? He took it into his own power to interfere in Carnage’s match on LiveWire as well. Why is he here on Primetime?
Rocky Romero assaulted the newcomer entering the ring with a barrage of strikes, but it was to no avail as Shawn Rodriguez laid out Romero with a Border Toss (Crucifix Release Powerbomb) and left the rest to the waking Ry Drake. Ry Drake covered Romero after a performing a picture perfect Lionsault to the fallen Cuban Hooligan.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Francine: With Shawn Rodriguez’s help, Mei Long and Ry Drake have done the impossible and have managed to score a pinfall victory over the Authority’s own.
The Carter: I hate to see how the Authority are going to retaliate after tonight’s turn of events. It definitely wasn’t a good night for the Authority - at ALL.
*** Main Event: GZWA World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Match ***

"Best in the World" CM Punk
vs.
"The Emo Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs
Prof. X: These two Superstars have been trying to one up each other since CM Punk lost the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship mere seconds to Jimmy Jacobs after the GZWA Chairman restarted the match.
Francine: Things got worse between them when CM Punk played a pivotal part in dethroning Jimmy Jacobs as champion at Dead or Alive, causing him to lose the title to Carnage. You would think that these Superstars would be working together to possibly stand a better chance against the huge threat of Carnage, but no these guys are so fixated on their petty revenge.
The Carter: Not to mention that Carnage has the Authority’s blessing behind him in each and everything that he does. You would have be crazy to cross them alone… then again, not everyone is Ry Drake.
After the opening bell, the code of honor is completely ignored as Jimmy Jacobs immediately charges towards CM Punk with a Lou Thesz Press. Punk tosses Jacobs overhead but Jacobs lands safely on the top rope. CM Punk turned around and straight into the pending Diving Spear from the Emo Warrior. Jimmy Jacobs didn’t go for the pin but instead went to prolong CM Punk’s suffering with a series of Running Sentons to Punk’s prone body. After the fourth Senton, CM Punk spung back to life, applying a Rear Naked Choke to Jimmy Jacobs. The Emo Warrior panics and forces himself to kick off the nearby ropes with an impromptu Contra Code (Shiranui), but CM Punk catches Jacobs and rolls back to his feet with the Emo Warrior in tow on top of his shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position.
Prof. X: Looks like CM Punk is going to end it here with the Go To Sleep…
Francine: …or not. Looks like Punk has other plans in mind.
Punk charges into the corner and rams the Emo Warrior with a Fireman’s Carry Slam into the corner post. With Jimmy Jacobs laying upside down in the corner, CM Punk hopped up to the top rope and performs a Diving Mule Kick onto Jacobs’ face as he sat up from the floor. Clenching his face, the Emo Warrior wisely rolls out of the ring and down to the ringside floor to recover. CM Punk doesn’t stand idly by and pursues his prey with a Suicide Dive between the ropes. Jimmy Jacobs manages to stop Punk in motion with a point-blank European Uppercut to counter, leaving CM Punk hanging between the ropes. A sinister grin washes over Jimmy Jacobs’ face before he climbed back onto the ring apron. The Emo Warrior then revealed his violent intentions as he delivered a Running Arched Big Boot to the Best in the World as CM Punk’s body still hung out of the ring between the ropes. The blow smashed CM Punk’s cranium into corner post, causing him to inadvertently to fall back into the ring. CM Punk slowly staggers back to his feet but a well-placed Diving Neckbreaker by Jimmy Jacobs on his way back into the ring rendered CM Punk back to ground level. Jimmy Jacobs goes for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THR--NO!!!
Shaking his head, Jimmy Jacobs beckons Punk to his feet and took to the corner as he prepared for the Spear. Once again, CM Punk willed himself back to his feet as Jimmy Jacobs closed in for the kill. CM Punk instinctively counters with an Uranage Slam. The Emo Warrior has a response to the Uranage Slam as he vises his body around CM Punk’s own with the End Time (Guillotine Choke). CM Punk drops down to one-knee briefly as he began to show signs of fading within the hold.
Prof. X: If CM Punk succumbs to the pain and submits then the Emo Warrior will be one step closer towards reclaiming the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Francine: Don’t forget he has one hell of a roadblock in front of him in the form of Carnage.
The Carter: Umm, I don’t think Punk is out of his game yet. Look!
CM Punk rose back to his feet and elevates Jacobs overhead before driving the Emo Warrior into the canvas with a Spinning Brainbuster DDT. With Jimmy Jacobs grounded, CM Punk wastes no time turning the tables with an application of the Anaconda Vise.
Jimmy Jacobs flails wildly in the hold, trying to escape as CM Punk maintains his grip firmly.
Francine: Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now. If Jimmy Jacobs submits, CM Punk will be one step closer towards redemption and a step closer to obtaining his revenge for what the Authority has done to him over the last two years.
Prof. X: One could wonder if their thirst for revenge is making them blind to the grander scope of things on the horizon.
The Carter: How so? What’s more important than the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship?
Francine: The problem with an eye for an eye is that everyone ends up blind. You would think that more Superstars and Vixens would be trying to band together against the Authority instead of working independently.
A sigh of relief is uttered by Jimmy Jacobs as he manages to drape his foot onto the bottom rope to force a rope break. CM Punk maintains his grip as Referee Earl Hebner began the illegal hold count.

CM Punk broke the hold briefly before the count of five. CM Punk is held at bay as Jimmy Jacobs holds onto the ropes and pulls himself back up to a vertical base. CM Punk backs away briefly before maneuvering around Hebner and charging in to continue his offense. The Emo Warrior pulls down ropes, causing CM Punk to tumble over the top rope, but things don’t go as Jimmy Jacobs planned as CM Punk landed onto ring apron. CM Punk struck with a Shoulder Thrust to Jacobs’ midsection before launching himself back into the ring with a Springboard Clothesline. In an act of desperation, the Emo Warrior responds with a Cutter to catch the Best in the World out of the air. With CM Punk seemingly out cold, Jimmy Jacobs leans over Punk’s body for the pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Francine: Close, but no cigar, Little Jimmy.
Jimmy Jacobs throws a fit and argues the near-fall with Hebner before taking his frustration on the grounded Best in the World with a series of repeated double foot stomps. The Emo Warrior rolls CM Punk over and attempts to apply a Camel Clutch, but the Best in the World whips Jacobs to the canvas with an Arm Drag. CM Punk doesn’t let go of Jacobs’ arm as he transitions into a Hammerlock. He continues to twist Jacobs’ arm behind him before rising back to his feet and spinning Jacobs’ around for a point-blank Short-range Lariat (Pepsi Twist). CM Punk then climbed the top rope and took flight with the Randy Savage Diving Elbow Drop. Unfortunately, the Best in the World misses his target completely as Jimmy Jacobs rolls out of harm’s way at the last second. The Emo Warrior capitalizes with the Berserker Drop (Inverted Sitout Facebuster) and flips the script on CM Punk by taking to the top rope to toss salt into the open wound with a Diving Senton. Jacobs’ hits the maneuver successfully, but CM Punk rolled Jacobs over and trapped him into the Anaconda Vise once again.
Prof. X: The momentum in match has been going back and forth like a game of hot potato.
Francine: This match has been pure insanity. Neither Superstar wants to give up the ghost.
The Carter: Nothing but pride on the line here. It shows how badly both of these guys want this opportunity.
Jimmy Jacobs is merely moments away from succumbing to the pain as CM Punk has him trapped in the center of the ring. Referee Earl Hebner leans over to check Jimmy Jacobs for any signs of submitting to the hold. Jacobs’ hand waives in front of Hebner until he suddenly grabs Hebner by collar. Jacobs looks Hebner eye to eye with a deranged look in his eyes as he shouts, “I WON’T QUIT!!!”
The Emo Warrior uses Hebner as a makeshift weapon to headbutt Punk to break hold. With Earl Hebner out cold and CM Punk disoriented, Jimmy Jacobs dragged Punk to his feet for a Snap Suplex. CM Punk hooks leg and counters by lifting Jacobs onto his shoulders for Go To Sleep. The Emo Warrior dug into his boot and stabbed Punk into the forehead repeatedly with his steel pike. Jimmy Jacobs hops over ropes with Hot Shot neckbreaker to stun Punk before returning into the ring with an Overcastle-style Springboard Diving Neckbreaker. With Punk’s face covered with a crimson mask and Hebner finally coming around, Jacobs covers the Best in the World.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
The Carter: (Sighs) I hate to see it end like this but damn.
Francine: Well, you guys can’t say I was wrong. I DID say that Jacobs was out for blood here tonight and he’s getting his wish - a rematch vs. Carnage.
Prof. X: You’ve seen it here first, GZWA fans. Jimmy Jacobs has defeated CM Punk to become the new #1 contender for the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship. The Emo Warrior will challenge the Hardcore Monster at Devils May Cry for the coveted championship. That’s all the time we have for tonight, folks. Stay tuned for ReAction.
