ReAction -- Primetime 9-4-15

[Athena]

This Primetime's Topics:

• The newest edition of Primetime started with newly formed tag team of ”Wonder Girl” Ashley Wonder and Charlotte Adams going head to head with the dangerous duo of The PowerGirls ("Power Girl #2" Ivy Lane & "Power Girl #1" Harley Lane). Even though The PowerGirls resorted to cheap tricks as raking the eyes of Charlotte or distracting the Wonder Girl, the Wonder duo dominated throughout the match. Yet, the win was bittersweet as Charlotte Adams and Ashley Wonder scored the win via disqualification, because of Harley delivering a chair shot to the spine of the Wonder Girl. Will the newly formed team seek justice against the PowerGirls?
  
  
• Our second match of the night saw the debut of the ever smiling Gina Lewis facing the returning veteran ”The E.N.D.” Endee Leights. Gina tried her hardest to stand tall against her more experienced opponent. And even with the fans behind her, the rookie fell short of scoring a win on her debut after Endee finished her off with the Endeeure (Jumping Tornado DDT). How will Gina recover from her loss and what will be the next step in the career of Endee Leights?
  
  
• As confident as ever, ”The Cuban Hooligan” Rocky Romero issued an open challenge to anyone willing to face the skilled showman. His call was answered by the newest signee of GZWA, ”The Black Phoenix” Kuro Hayabusa. Rocky was smug enough to stand in the ring with his eyes closed and let Kuro take the first shot, but soon regretted this decision as the newcomer didn’t hesitate to fling the Hooligan to the mat with a Japanese Arm Drag. Rocky Romero tried his best to keep up with the fiery Hayabusa, but his time soon came to an end after the Black Phoenix Splash. Who will be Kuro Hayabusa’s next target?
  
  
• Chaos took over the ring as the “odd couple” team of "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis, "Lady So Divine" Queen Delta Madison, "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven, and Amber Torres had to face the team of "The Beautiful Dragon" Mei Long, "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix, "The Goddess" Amanda Cortez, and "The Jungle Girl" Joanna Tarzanna in a 4-on-4 Tag Team Match. Even though the four ladies fighting for champion contendership tried to keep it civil at the beginning, it didn’t take long before their bickering took over. Beth Phoenix managed to capitalize with the help of her teammates and score the win after pinning the only member left, Amber Torres. How will the odd four recuperate and continue their journey for the right to face the Vixen’s Champion?
  
  
• ”Showstoppin’ Senorita” Mariah kept her promise to be a fighting champion. Issuing an open challenge for the Vixen’s title she did get a challenger, but not someone she would have expected. The debuting former MMA fighter Blake Harper came out and accepted the challenge, but requested to face Mariah in a non-title bout, explaining that she doesn’t deem herself worthy to fight for gold just yet. With the champion agreeing, both ladies put out an amazing battle. Blake surprised the crowd with her technicality and mat-based moveset as Mariah once again showed why she is the woman to beat. A few close calls, but the match eventually ended with the Vixen’s champion scoring the win after a perfectly executed Springboard 450 splash. After the match ended, Mariah helped Blake stand up and lifted her hand up both in celebration and in respect for the newcomer. What is next in store for Blake Harper after this impressive debut?
  
  
• The always menacing ”Emo Warrior” Jimmy Jacobs tonight faced ”Psycho Menace” Ry Drake in singles action. Yet, the fight started even before the bell rang as Jimmy didn’t hesitate to attack Ry while he was entering the ring. Both men suffered some serious damage during this outside altercation, but managed to make it to the ring and start the official match. The Emo Warrior dominated the match, not only showing his impressive in-ring ability, but also pulling out a low blow out of his bag of dirty tricks. But the match ended in favor of the “Psycho Menace” as GZWA’s World Heavyweight Champion Carnage interfered chokeslaming his nemesis and helping out Ry score the winning pinfall. Is Ry Drake now a step closer to the #1 Contender spot? Or will Jimmy Jacobs go out of his way to crush any budding competition?
  
  

• GZWA Television Champion “The Architect” Chris Matthews was in action at “Primetime” going against ”The Straight-Edge Juggalo” Ryan Kendrick in a non-title singles match. Even though with the constant distraction from the returning Jaser Cruz, who was on commentary, the champ managed to keep a cool head and score another impressive win after performing a Corkscrew Shooting Star Press on one half of the “Extreme Juggalos”. After the match Jaser Cruz made a clear statement that the champ is on his radar. Will the always confident Jaser dethrone the Architect?
  
  
• Ryan Kendric’s partner,”The High-Flying Extremist” Enigma going one on one against the current GZWA’s World Heavyweight Champion “Hardcore Monster” Carnage in a non-title bout. Even though, the Enigma was just mere milliseconds away from scoring an important win over the reigning Champion, that still wasn’t enough to take down the Monster. But Carnage’s celebration was cut short as not only Jimmy Jacobs came to the ring for revenge after the Champ’s interference earlier tonight. We also the return of The Undertaker, who came to the ring to face both the GZWA World Heavyweight champion and #1 Contender. Has The Undertaker just placed himself in the title picture?
  
  
• Tonight’s main event was a thrilling match for the GZWA Tag Team Titles. The reigning champions The MisFits (Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson and "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez) battled against The Mega Busters (Matthew Miles and Psycho Sagus). Showing undying passion and resilience, the team of Miles and Sagus tried their best to push the Tag Team champs to the limits, falling just short as Matthew Miles chooses to save Ashleigh Cash and leaves Psycho Sagus with no mercy from Casey Cortez to tap out. Who will challenge the dominant MisFits for their prized titles?
  

(Remember this topic is NOT just limited to these points, newcomers feel free to "react" on the events of this most recent GZWA program and/or introduce your characters in-character if you're a debuting Superstar/Diva and didn't appear in the most recent show results.)

The scene opens with the cameraman, front and center.

"Welcome to ReAction. After victories not in their favor at Devil May Cry, the Authority were believed to be losing their momentum, but Primetime proved to be their recovering stage. After Jimmy Jacobs had declared war against Carnage for the Heavyweight title, Carnage returned the favor by attacking him in Jacob's match against Ry Drake, but before we get to Carnage and see what he has to say about Jacobs and Ry Drake, we have found the wrestler who has had a worst luck in the group after constant losses from Ry Drake…."

"ARRRGHHHH!!"

" and by our newly signed superstar, Kuro Hayabusa. All after making important changes in Devils May Cry. Ladies and gentlemen, "The Cuban Hooligan" Rocky Romero."

The ReAction crew walks down the hallway to Rocky Romero, still in sweat and wrestling gear, sitting on the floor with his back to the wall of cold, painted bricks, or the "wall of shame". His head low to the ground, before banging on his temple with his palms. Once the crew is at a close distance to him, the interviewer makes his presence further known.

"Is this a bad time for an interview, sir?"

Romero only grunts, not giving the interviewer an actual answer. The interviewer assumes this is a "yes" and asks questions anyways.

"Well, we haven't had the opportunity to interview lately, but based on previous incidents leading up to now, you have had numerous cases of bad luck, especially in Devils May Cry against your opponent Ry Drake after brutally injuring him near the middle of the match. This doesn't stop here, as during our last Primetime, you lost against Ry Drake again, as well as his partner Jimmy Jacobs, and you lost in an open challenge at tonight's Primetime. The world would like to know. What has been going…."

Come to the interviewer's surprise, his mouth is covered by Romero's sweaty hand. Romero finally gives him eye contact, speaking in a low, stern tone with his body rising from the tile floor.

"Cierra……la boca. I do not want to talk to….you right…NOW!!!"

Romero slams his body back onto the floor in his former position.

"Okay, then. Before we leave, one more question. Do you still have any resentment breaking up with Mei Long after she gained a victory tonight?"

"Uggghh, hell of I care about that living carga! She could be prancing around in this ring or back home in Hawaii greeting foreigners at the airport. Just leave her name out in the ocean. I'm done even hearing about that puta sucia! Now, beat it, roaches!"

Romero's rage doesn't frighten the crew just yet. That's when Romero makes sure to scare them by rushing to his feet, screaming at the top of his lungs. He shakes the camera, before the cameraman retreats from him. The interviewer and the rest of the crew following behind him. The last shot is the interviewer showing an awkward expression to Romero, then to the camera, as the scene fades to black.

At the last Primetime Amanda has been booked in a tag match and even though she didn't had to do much in this match, her team could take the win. So she's more than happy and now she's back in the backstage area, together with her wife and manager Rose. The two are really in a good mood and now they think about how to celebrate this win.

"Seems that my new start here isn't that bad. The second easy win, so it's ok and now we two should think about where to go.”

With a smile in her face Rose kisses Amanda gently on her lips and pokes her sides, so that the smaller girl jumps. Then she whispers into her ear.

“Oh, there I would know something …haha, a place where we are all alone …our bedroom.”

Mandy giggles lightly and leans against her wife.

“That sounds like a plan. After such a night I really need something to relax.”

She takes Rose by her hand and the two slowly go into the direction of the parking lot. But suddenly they stop because they see Casey, Amanda's younger sister. A bit worried Amanda looks at Rose.

“Oh shit …not this now. I really don't need no more trouble.”

For a moment the two think about to go back to the arena, but it's already too late and Casey has stopped them. The tall young woman stands there with her hands on her hips and glares at the two.

“What the hell was this?”

Amanda wants to answer, but Casey doesn't let her speak.

“Look Amanda, it's not personal, but you slowly go on my nerves. This main event has been my match and it wasn't your business. So you better stay away from me and my matches.”

Amanda moved back a bit and looks up to her sister. She is pretty sure that Casey won't attack her here.

“Well, it is your business, at least as long as it is a fair title match, but you go too far with your stupid violence. Everybody knows how strong you are and there's really no reason to injure your opponents. You almost crippled me …wasn't that enough?”

A cold smile comes into Casey's face.

“And I can do it again. But don't worry, I won't do that, I have other victims now and you won't stop me.”

Amanda wants to protest, but Casey shuts her up again.

“Look Amanda, I'm the champion and all these morons here seem to think that Laura and me don't deserve it to hold the titles and this only because we did some singles matches. So it was time to show them that we are worth to hold the titles. Maybe it has been a bit too brutal, but destroying theMega Busters was necessary …and this was only the beginning. We are the best team in this company and there's nothing and nobody who can stop us. We destroy everybody whom they throw into our way and if you like it or not, I don't give a fuck. So live with it.”

Amanda really doesn't like what she hears and she clenches her small fists. Casey is so much bigger and stronger, but this doesn't scare the tough little diva.

“No way, I won't live with this. You're right, you and Laura are a really strong and dangerous team, but that doesn't mean that you're undefeatable. There will come a team and kick your ass …and then your title reign is over.”

As she hears this Casey starts to laugh.

“And who should this team be? You and your little pet Rose?”

Again she laughs, but now Amanda interrupts her.

“Why not? I've held more titles during my career than you ever will and Rose has been champion too. So this could happen really fast.”

But this challenge doesn't impress the tall young woman.

“So is this a challenge? Well, then you get my answer and it's a yes. But don't come and complain if you or your little pet get hurt again.”

Now Amanda gets a bit angry.

“Great, you wanna cripple your own sister again. I'm soooo impressed …”

"Don't worry, I won't cripple you, but I make sure that you'll get humiliated as never before in your life. You will submit to me and this you can see as a promise.”

With a cold glare on her eyes she looks at Rose now.

“And your little pet here won't help you. She might be good for your kinky little games, but she is no wrestler.”

Now it's enough for Amanda.

“Don't insult Rose or I'll kick your ass right here. You will see that it was a deadly mistake to underestimate us. Really soon me and Rose will kick your ass and take away from you what's most important for you …your title.”

Before Casey can answer again, Amanda takes Rose by her hand and really fast the two walk away to their car. Then the scene fades to black.

Standing backstage is Christy Hemme, with the camera crew standing right there with her as she quickly motions to the cameraman to pull the focus away from her and to someone walking past them. Turning and then zooming in a bit the shot shows us Blake Harper, right after her debut match against "The Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah. Her hair somewhat messy, yet still in a braid, her skin sweaty and glistening against the light and her breathing deep and heavy. Focused on her hands and removing those wrist tapes, Blake heard her name being called out by the Rockin' Interviewer.

Blake! Blake! Please, a quick word.

Turning to face the camera this debuting Vixen actually smiled as you could notice a sparkle in her eyes.

Of course.

Blake, tonight we witnessed your surprise debut as you accepted Mariah's open challenge for the Vixen's title. Yet, you declined to fight for the belt and opted to go against the champ in a non-title match. Why did you make such a startling decision?

I personally think that everything comes in time and you just have to be patient enough to wait for it. There are women in this company who worked for years to get a chance to fight for the #1 Contender spot. And here comes a rookie with the training period of 6 months and becomes champion, cutting in front of every single one of GZWA's female wrestlers in line. I would be pissed, to put it mildly. It just wouldn't be fair. Yet, hearing that open challenge and seeing that there is a chance to debut against an icon in women's wrestling, I knew I couldn't pass it up. So, I solved the inner conflict inside of me by asking to fight in a non-title match.

But how impressive it would be that after only starting out in the business and your first night competing you cement yourself in the history books by winning that title?

Blake laughs lightly as she looks up at Christy. That bright smile seemed to almost illuminate the place.

And what would I do after that? In my opinion, the Vixen's championship, or any other title belt, is the reward you get after working your hardest, giving a good performance every night and entertaining the fans. I might sound absolutely bonkers, but I want to fight for my title, I want to sweat, cry and hit my head against the wall before I can call myself champion. I want to earn it. Because after all those steps, falls and setbacks, I will appreciate every second I wear that belt around my waist. And will never take it for granted. I will know what it took to finally reach my goal.

What are your thoughts about the outcome of your match? You did lose to Mariah, yet you seem as happy as ever.

I am. I absolutely am. I know that it is silly, but I just fought the Vixen's Champion, someone I've watched on TV and I came close to pinning her. After 6 months of wrestling training.... How many people can say that? How many people have these kind of matches handed to them? I got the greatest opportunity to show my skills and MMA background against a top star in the company in front of a crowd of loud and welcoming wrestling fanatics. I am beyond happy. I am ecstatic, thankful and full of hope and determination that my next fight will be a win. I want to improve and to evolve, showing that technical wrestling can be just as entertaining and attention grabbing as risky high-flying maneuvers.

I can only wish, Blake, that this attitude will help you go far in this business and we will soon see you victorious. Thank you for answering our questions.

Thank you, Christy, for the interview.

Blake smiled one last time at the camera as she headed towards the locker rooms while still removing her wrist tapes. At the moment the scene cut to black as the redhead Vixen disappeared in the hallways.

Shortly after events of tonight's Primetime came to a close, the Mega Busters are shown sitting in the corridor, sulking in defeat.

The usually happy trio sat in silence. Psycho Sagus held an ice pack on his shoulder while Ashleigh sat with her face buried in her hands and Matthew Miles stared blankly at the floor.

Sagus breaks the silence, "Great to know that your girlfriend means more to you than moving up to the next level in our careers..."

Matt turns to face Sagus, "Kevin, don't even be like that. You know if it was your girlfriend that you're still too embarrassed or too chicken to hang out with at work, it would have played out the same way so don't even go there."

Sagus: "Ash knew she shouldn't have been out there in the first place! Taking out trash like Veda is one thing, but c'mon, we had the MisFits right where we wanted them!"

Ashleigh snaps, "It wasn't MY fault that musclebound meathead that calls herself a woman dragged me into the ring! I was staying out of it! I had confidence in BOTH of you, so there's no need to start pointing fingers. Kevin, I know you want the world to take us seriously, but don't lose sight of what got us here."

Sagus: "Sometimes I wonder if Matt and I would be much better off if you never joined up with this two man band."

Matt shook his head, "You don't mean that man. We're family - ALL of us. Let's not allow one loss drive us apart."

Sagus: "Easy for you to say, you're not the one who didn't get stretched and folded around like a pretzel out there! Dude, I'm SICK of losing. When is it time for our time to shine? Let's face it - we might not EVER get a chance like this again."

Ashleigh chimes in, "How do you think we feel? You're not the only one who loss tonight, Kevin. I'm starting to feel like you would've been happy if they did piledrive me onto the floor and left me paralyzed."

Sagus: "It's not like that, Ash. I just dunno anymore... Everything's just so confusing nowadays."

Matt: "Let's just hit the showers... (glancing towards Ashleigh)... SEPARATELY and unwind. I vote Mario Kart?"

Ashleigh: "Nah... I think Kevin's still mad at me for hitting him with the blue shell the last time. That's what this is REALLY all about..."

Sagus narrows his eyes, "You knew I wanted to win when WonderBabe was over!"

Ashleigh: "Don't get mad at me! Alice was the one who put me up to it! You know how she loves playing the devil on my shoulder to get me to do bad stuff!"

Sagus: "Then don't listen to her!"

Ashleigh: "She's my friend!"

Sagus: "Get new friends!"

Ashleigh: "She's your girlfriend's sister for crying out loud. I'm not going to toss Alice aside like yesterday's garbage..."

Matt jokes,"From how much you two argue, you'd think that you two were the ones dating..."

Sagus & Ashleigh: "SHUT UP!!"

Matt shakes his head, "Fine, Mario Kart it is. Someday we should thank Nintendo for this bizarre method of group therapy..."

[❤Rose❤]

With her title over her shoulder Casey is on her way back to the locker room. As she passes a camera-team, she smiles in an arrogant way.

“And now you want a comment about that match? Well you can have it. I think nobody has expected these weaklings to take the win. So it happened what had to happen, we destroyed them.”

For a moment she pauses and wipes some of her hair out of her face.

“And now a last word to the Mega Busters, or shall I better call you Mega Losers? Anyway, you two morons had your chance and I hope you also learned your lesson. So better stay away from me and the titles, or you will really get hurt and then there’s nobody who will save you.”

She wants to turn away and walk off, but she stops for a last time.

“Oh …and then I have a warning for my sister, for Amanda. I think my matches aren’t your business, so better stay away from them. I really don’t understand why you always wanna get involved. Isn’t one injured knee enough for you?
The last time we met in the ring, I showed mercy and gave you the win, but the next time it’ll be different. Then there will be nothing left from you.”

With a mean smile in her face she turns around and walks off.

[Xion Zeros]

The reigning Vixen Champion "Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah stops the ReAction team in the corridor to have a few words.

ReAction: This is a change of pace.

Mariah smiles, "I know. I just wanted to make your job easier since you guys would have one less person to hunt down tonight."

ReAction: We've heard from Blake Harper but what's your thoughts on your open challenge tonight?

Mariah: "Blake Harper is a wonderful addition to this division. I experienced her vast potential for greatness firsthand. She came in here with nothing but respect for what we do in this division.

As champion, I'm going to offer some advice - not for just Blake Harper, but for anyone looking to scratch and claw their way to the top of this division.

Success comes down to three bullet points.

Respect this division, respect the hustle, and most importantly, respect yourself."

ReAction: For a second there, I thought we thought you were going to recite the anthem of the Doctor of Thugnomics... Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect.

Mariah: "Very funny, but you could say that it's a similar concept.

With everyone respecting this division, I see this division continuing to grow as we spread our message that we're the best female athletes in this sport today.

Respect the hustle tends to get confused, especially among fans and individuals among the roster. Success isn't measured by who you know or who you are tied to the hip with or banging behind closed doors. I like to think that every woman in this company has earned their spots in this division by their own blood, sweat, and tears. Some of their methods may be unconventional than others, but no one can question the athletic and competitive aspect of this division. Work hard and you will be rewarded. Simple as that.

Somehow, we still have individuals in this division who tend to think that success will be handed to them on a silver platter. I tell my students this all the time. It doesn't matter if they are trained by me or any other high-profile trainer or wrestling legend, if they don't put in the hard work then it's all for nothing. I don't care who you're related to or banging behind closed doors. As long as you give me your ALL in this ring, then I have absolutely no problems with you.

That's why I'm going to continue doing these open challenges with my title on the line. I want the women in this division to keep bringing it. I'm no so full of myself that I think that I'm going to hold onto this title forever - no, I want to challenge the best and fight the best this division has to offer. That's what I thrive for this division - for all of the best women that this sport has to offer continue stealing the show for years to come, long after I'm dead and buried.

Last but not least, I want to explain why respecting yourself is so important. It's not merely for success in this division but for success in life as well. We have so many different people in the world today and even more diversity in the Vixen division. Women of different ethnic backgrounds and upbringings, different countries and cultures, and even different sexual orientations. As Carter would say, we have a literal smorgasbord or sample platter of women in the Vixen division.

I see these women on social media everyday, exposing and sharing every detail of their everyday lives. There's nothing wrong with that as I do it as well, but I want these women to remember that they represent this company and what we want to present as role models for the future of this industry.

I ask these women, are you role models or are you fetish models? Are you content with standing on the sidelines as a mere prop or are you willing to fight for what you believe in? Are you ready to stand up or are you just going to continue to sit back and let every opportunity pass you by? Are you going to fade into the background or are you going to become a star?

Those are the questions that I want everyone woman in this division to ask themselves everyday."

ReAction: "Powerful words there, Mariah. What did you think of the 4-on-4 contest that transpired earlier tonight?"

Mariah shook her head, "I have to admit that the end result wasn't a surprise. Serena Dent set them up for failure. There was no way that many conflicting personalities were going to get onto the same page. I'm starting to wonder if all of them are even truly committed to even challenging me for this title. Is their immature bickering and boasting more important than this title? I think not. Maybe those ladies have their panties wind up too tight, some hair dye leaking into their brains, or just maybe those cheap hair extensions have been sewn in too tight..."

ReAction: "Do you feel the same way towards your fellow Queen Bee Mafia member, Morgan Davis?"

Mariah sighed, "I'm not going to sugarcoat anything, but as long as I'm holding this championship, I have to step up in the role of the quintessential 'queen bee' over the hive that is the Vixens division. Morgan and even Tia Brooks - whenever she doesn't have herself preoccupied with godknowswhat - have just as much of a chance of taking this title from me as anyone else in this division.

If the four of them - Morgan, Raven, Delta, and even Amber - really want this title, then they aren't showing me or anyone else in the GZWA Nation that they want it. If they want to allow that opportunity to spill between their fingers and allow Beth Phoenix, Mei Long, Amanda Cortez, and Joanna Tarzanna take that spot from them then who am I to stop them? Beth and Mei are both former Vixen Champions, Amanda was the first and only woman to hold the Television Championship, and while Joanna is still a rookie here in GZWA, she has managed to win a championship in another promotion recently as well. I would be crazy to turn the other cheek at the possibility of facing any of those women at Riot Control."

ReAction: "Exactly what are you trying to say to your potential contenders, Mariah?"

Mariah looked at the camera, "To be quite blunt, if you ladies are expecting a handout, then don't waste my time or the time of GZWA Management or any of these fans watching at home. These people and ALL of these hard-working women in this locker room deserve a chance to shine instead of allowing a minor footnote take a spot from them. I thrive off this competition and if you ladies don't want to bring it, then I suggest they step aside or get out of the way and let someone who really wants to push me to my limits and beyond a chance to face me for this title.

Not a single one of you are new to this, between all four of you is decades worth of experience and any of these new additions to the division would die to have along with your spots right now. Show me... no, show the world how much you want to be the next Vixen Champion.

I don't want to face a group of crybabies and slackers. I want to face hard workers and ass kickers. I want to face the BEST this division has to offer.

Quite frankly, if I can't get that out of these ladies, then I'll continue to search for someone who's willing to fit the bill."
