Stardom Tag Team Classic
First Round Opener: Match #3
GZWA Tag Team Champions "The Bobbilicious One" Bobbi Jackson, Eliza Frost, and "The Dominiqtrix" Dominique Frost vs. Talia Areano & "The Silver Screen Queen" Crystal Hilton
Tonight’s Primetime opens with both teams already standing in the ring, ready to get the last of two matches in the Stardom Tag Team Classic’s opening round started. Bobbi Jackson and Talia Areano shake hands out of respect at the sound of the opening bell. The two women then engage into a traditional lock-up to test their strength. Both women seemed to be evenly matched, but Bobbi overpowered Talia and pinned her shoulders to the mat. Before the referee could make the count, Talia Areano flipped Bobbi Jackson overhead with a Monkey Flip to free herself. Bobbi tucked and rolled upon hitting the mat to brush off most of the impact prior to returning to a vertical base. Talia was ready to react as she greeted Bobbi with an Inverted Hurracanrana to drop the Bobbilicious One right on the back of her head. Talia hooks her leg in a pin attempt.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Eliza Frost was quick to break the pin with a Running Double Axe Handle over Talia’s spine. Before Eliza could proceed further with her impromptu assist, she was clotheslined over the top rope by the Silver Screen Queen. The force of the blow causes Crystal Hilton to flip herself over the top rope as well, but her nimble agility allowed her to land safely on the ring apron as Dominique Frost raced over to tend to her younger sister. The Dominiqtrix wasn’t spared from Crystal’s wrath in the least as she leapt down from the ring apron with a Diving Hurracanrana to leave both of the Frosts down at ringside as Talia and Bobbi remained in the ring.
Prof. X: “Looks like Talia Areano and Crystal Hilton may have found the secret of dealing with the tag team champions’ dominance as of late.”
The Carter: “Divide and conquer is a viable strategy that’s for sure. With so many beautiful women out here at once, you definitely have to multi-task!”
Francine: “Yeah and they all have the hive mind mentality of making sure of not having anything to do with you…”
Talia was first back to her feet as she hits the ropes and returns with the Rush Hour (Sliding Forearm Smash) to the waking Bobbi Jackson. Talia then tags out to Crystal, who was returning back onto the ring apron. She enters the ring with the Smelling the Roses (Handspring Standing Moonsault) to pin the Bobbilicious One once more.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Crystal beckons Bobbi back to her feet as she lines up the Flashing Lights (Chick Light) for the kill. Bobbi staggers to her feet and spun around into the line of fire. Crystal struck with the kick, only for Bobbi to duck underneath it and hit the ropes. She returns with a Spear on the rebound just as Crystal turned around and immediately transitioned into an application of the Show-Shooter (Sharpshooter). Crystal grits her teeth against the pain in her mid-section from the Spear but manages to kick Bobbi back into the ropes with her leg strength. The Silver Screen Queen then met the Bobbilicious One on her rebound with Mysterio Rana after springing up from the canvas, effectively capturing Bobbi into another pin.
Crystal looks confused as the referee isn’t making the count, as Eliza Frost made the blind tag when Bobbi hit the ropes - making her the legal partner. Crystal Hilton argues with the referee until she is attacked from behind with a Full Nelson Bomb by Eliza. Eliza transitions into a Rolling Body Scissors Sleeper Hold with it looking like the momentum is finally back on the tag team champions’ side. That statement proved to be false as the Silver Screen Queen proved to show her resourcefulness. Crystal kicks off the nearby ropes and responds with a makeshift Springboard Moonsault to break the hold out of desperation. Crystal wanted payback and got it in the form of the Withering Rose (Elevated Boston Crab) that she applied to the now grounded Eliza Frost. Unfortunately, the Bobbilicious One was quick to charge back into the ring to make the save, but Talia Areano was right there to intercept her with a Shining Wizard.
Eliza Frost showed her own resourcefulness as she rolled her hips to escape the hold and used her own leg strength to shove Crystal backwards into Talia Areano. Talia stumbles back from the blow and tumbles out of the ring as Dominique Frost held down the ropes nonchalant while standing on the ring apron. Eliza rose the stunned Silver Screen Queen back to her feet in a Reverse STO, but Crystal elbowed her in the head repeatedly in protest. That altercation continued until Bobbi connected with a Super Kick to the back of her head, allowing Eliza to complete the maneuver and plant Crystal face-first into the canvas, where Eliza was able to transition into the Frosty Top Popper (Modified Figure Four Headscissor) in the center of the ring. With nowhere to go and Talia disposed of at ringside, Crystal reluctantly submits to the hold to avoid any possible injury.
Prof. X: “I thought that was a great contest between these two teams. I hope this isn’t the last time that we see these teams clash.”
The Carter: “Me either! I haven’t had a chance to give any of them my phone number!”
Francine: “I’m surprised that they let you have house calls in the asylum…”
Prof. X: “We just saw the team of the Frosts and Bobbi Jackson advance to the next round in this match. We’ll have our second first round opening match for the Stardom Tag Team Classic coming up after this commercial break.”
Stardom Tag Team Classic
First Round Opener: Match #4
"The Wraith" Ry Drake & "The Mountain" Rex Terrell (w/ Skylar Stryker) vs. The Doombringer (debut) & Brother Zachariah
Prof. X: Up next, we have the former GZWA World Heavyweight Champion and his personal heavy against two newcomers, Brother Zachariah and The Doombringer. You two got any information on these guys?
The Carter: Other than what we know about Zachariah from his debut against Chance Justice a few weeks ago, no not really. We’re in as much of the dark about that guy as Ry Drake and Rex Terrell are going into this.
Francine: Both of these men seem to be creatures of the night. Who knows what hell they are going to unleash out here tonight.
Ry Drake teases to start this match himself, but allows Rex Terrell to start instead. The Mountain and Brother Zachariah attempt to lock-up but Zachariah found himself instantly shoved across the ring. The Doombringer tagged himself in. He steps forward to Rex Terrell as these two forces of nature silently stared down. These mega powers collide with The Doombringer connecting with a Knee Strike to the Mountain’s gut. He then sent Rex into the ropes with an Irish Whip as The Doombringer hit the opposite ropes. He returns with a Flying Clothesline to catch Rex on the rebound, only for the Mountain to hold his ground as he caught The Doombringer with the Lifeless Grip (Two-Handed Chokebomb). Rex roars towards Brother Zachariah standing on the ring apron, only to turn around to notice The Doombringer sitting up from the canvas (The Undertaker/Kane style). Rex isn’t intimidated in the least as he lines up the Mountain Pass (Samoan Spike) for the waking Doombringer. The Doombringer caught Rex Terrell by surprise with a Belly to Belly before dragging him to his feet with the Deadman Walking (Old School). The Doombringer covers Rex.
ONE…
T---NO!!!
The self-proclaimed Wraith broke the pin attempt with the Laid Out (Strong Right Kick to the head). That action didn’t uncontested as Brother Zachariah floors Ry Drake with a Discus Elbow Smash. Both Superstars then rose Rex back to their feet with hands grasped around their throats for a Double Chokeslam. The Mountain wasn’t having any of this as he bats their hands away and floored both men to the mat with a Double Clothesline of his own.
With the opposition floored, Ry Drake tags himself into the mat and goes straight to work on The Doombringer. Ry Drake held The Doombringer into position for a Reverse DDT, but the Doombringer knees him in the face repeatedly to free himself. With the tables turned with Drake on The Doombringer’s shoulders, he was able to drop the Wraith onto the top turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes before tagging out to Brother Zachariah. He enters with the Death from Above (Arm Twist Ropewalk into Flying Knee Strike). Drake’s body rolls across the ring from the impact, with his body hanging out of the ring to avoid the inevitable pin attempt. Zachariah took advantage of this position by climbing out of the ring and sprinting around the ringside area to connect with a Darkness Falls (Apron-Hung Big Boot). Unfortunately, the only thing that Brother Zachariah connects with is the Mountain as Zachariah is floored by the Mountain Pass. Before Rex could continue his attack, the Doombringer intervenes, ramming Rex into the barricade as the duo begin exchanging blows.
While Rex Terrell and The Doombringer bawl at ringside, Ry Drake took advantage of this situation by rolling Zachariah back into the ring. He connects with the Assassination (Jumping Curb Stomp) just as Zachariah was pushing himself off the canvas on all-fours. The Wraith quickly rolls him over into a pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Somehow, Brother Zachariah kicks out. Drake’s had enough and wants to end this now. He rolls out onto the ring apron and launches himself back into the ring with the Greatest Damn Elbow (Phenomenal Forearm) just as Brother Zachariah rose back to his feet. Drake found himself caught out of the air into a Hellfire Chokeslam. Zachariah covers Drake with his hand on Drake’s chest.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---WAIT!!!
Skylar Stryker stood on the ring apron, distracting the referee before his arm came down for the count of 3. Brother Zachariah released his pin and moved over to confront Skylar. She had no idea what this man was going to do, but that question was left unanswered as Drake attacked from behind. Drake closed in with a Clothesline as Zachariah spun around. Brother Zachariah ducked out of the way, causing Drake to knock Skylar off the ring apron and down to the floor. Zachariah then took advantage of the confusion with an Atomic Drop to the Wraith and followed up with a Diving Elbow Drop. Drake rolls out of harm’s way and tags in Rex, who returns to the match with a Swagger Bomb to Zachariah laying in front of the opposite corner. From there, Rex rose back to his feet with Zachariah in tow in a Bearhug as Ry Drake prepared for another Greatest Damn Elbow. Brother Zachariah manages to free himself with a bell clap to Rex’s ears, causing Drake to hit Rex as Zachariah slipped out of the Mountain’s grasp. Brother Zachariah tagged in to the Doombringer. The duo then took control of this situation by performing two simultaneous Tombstone Piledrivers on the confused Ry Drake and reeling Rex Terrell, effectively pinning them to the mat.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: “And just like that, we have the last of our first round openers in the Stardom Tag Team Classic.”
The Carter: “Awwww, I was hoping I was going to get a RSVP pass to Drake’s celebration…”
Francine: “Please, like he would invite you of all people…”
Ashleigh Cash stood in the middle of the ring - surprisingly alone and without her friends within the Mega Busters.
Ashleigh Cash: “In 2016, GZWA took the wrestling world by storm and set a new precedent for women’s wrestling with the success of Reina de Reinas Dos. That event crowned the first ever Queen of Queens Champion in Vi Malkov and set forth the events into motion that saw the return of the Vixen Championship - now known as the Women’s Championship, in GZWA. Blake Harper would capture that title and reign over the division until she was bested by our current champion, Susie Price, a few months ago.
I get it. There’s a lot going on inside AND outside of GZWA. Some people are caught up in the battle for supremacy as they rage against the Machine… Others have their eyes on the prize, whether it’s winning the upcoming Television Championship that has been reactivated due to popular demand or forming unlikely partnerships tackle the overwhelming odds within the Stardom Tag Team Classic in the hopes of possibly winning the final entry spots in the 2018 Riot Match. Then you have the loveable guys that I know who are already planning to camp out to get their copies of Dragonball FightersZ at the midnight release…
For the past month, our new Women’s Champion has been sitting and mighty on her throne uncontested and unchallenged, watching the roster as if we’re peasants in her wake. I was going to stay out of her way and attempt to keep my boys focused on what’s really important - possibly winning the tag team titles and beating the Enforcers again, but no, someone had to stick their entitled pampered nose into MY business.
Susie, you know I’m calling you out, so don’t be shy. Don’t worry, you don’t have to worry about losing your title if you don’t want to put it up for grabs. I just want to kick your ass and show all of these people that you’re not all that and a bag of chips that you like to think you are.”
Susie Price comes down the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand, dropping her title down at her feet as she marched down the ramp. She stops at the bottom of the ramp and laughs, “You know what? You can fight HER instead!”
Ashleigh looks confused as she’s attacked from behind by a mystery assailant.
The Carter: “Who is that monstrosity?”
Francine: “I imagine it’s what happens to most of your dates, if you ever had one…”
Prof. X: “Looks like something that crawled of the depths of hell… In either case, it looks like anyone who opposes the self-proclaimed Queen of GZWA will have to deal with this hellspawn.”
The Bradley Clan arrives at the U.S. Bank Arena for GZWA Primetime to a huge pop, despite none of them being on the match card. Akasha Monroe approaches the family.
“Mike, Danielle, Jesse, Kris, I think a lot of people in the audience are surprised to see you in attendance tonight despite not being on the card. Is there anything you have to say?”
Mike swipes the microphone out of Akasha’s hand and gives her a glare, then the Bradleys take a moment to acknowledge the cheers.
“Before we get into that…”
“HOW'S IT HANGIN’, CINCY!”
“A LITTLE TO THE LEFT!”
“Yeah, that's what I like to hear!”
“Akasha, why are you surprised? We're on the payroll, we have every right to be here.”
“You trying to tell us we’re not welcome after putting Z through a verbal blender and Bred For Perfection through a physical one last week?”
Mike points the microphone back at Akasha.
“Well, no, of course not, I was…”
“Exactly.”
“Yo, camera guy, follow us, it's story time with the Bradley Clan!”
The Bradleys begin to make their way through the backstage area, and each pick up a microphone of their own along the way.
“So with this company being the clusterfuck that it is, last week we came back announced our intentions to enter the Stardom tournament as part of our mission to cleanse GZWA!”
“Safe to say step one of that mission was a success, because we beat Bred For Perfection so bad they aren't even on the card this week!”
“Hey, neither are we, but that didn't stop us from showing up, boys!”
“But we didn't show up tonight just to dick around. We've got some business to attend to!”
As the Bradleys continue to walk around the backstage area, it's becoming clear that they're making their way to the ring.
“The return of the GZWA Television Title has given us another goal in our conquest, and who in this company knows the TV Title better than yours truly, the 2-time TV champ!"
“And with Reina De Reinas Tres coming up as well, you know I'll be in the hunt to win the biggest prize of my career!”
“We have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of cheer back in Camden on Christmas Day once it's all said and done!”
“But while we’re gonna have title belts and and board games and video games under our tree, it's our mission to leave a whole damn coal mine under The Machine’s!”
The Bradleys get through the production area and are now walking through the crowd to the ringside area. They do their trademark exploding fist bump with several fans as they go.
“Primetime was a shit show last week, but it was also encouraging - and not just because we won our first match in two years! What's ring rust?”
“It’s good to see that there are other wrestlers in this company who want to take down The Machine, like the man we're about to see now, Ryan Kendrick!”
The crowd pops for “Weapon 23".
“It’s a tall task, but we're up to it, and the more of us there are, the harder it'll be for The Machine to hold us down!”
“Ryan doesn't owe us anything. We're united by a common goal - to end The Machine's brand of chaos and make GZWA fun again with OUR brand of chaos!”
The Bradleys hop the guard rail and reach under the apron on each side of the ring to produce their trademark kendo sticks, then enter the ring.
“Now, things haven't gone strictly to plan, seeing as those salty-ass Hanzo mains The Mega Busters don't want in on this movement, but that's okay. Just don't come crying to us Mercy mains when you need healing, got it?”
Those in the audience who play Overwatch get a good laugh out of the joke.
“So why the hell are we out here, anyways?”
“Well, after a meeting last week over a plate of wings, Ryan's got our backs, so we've got his.”
“What Jayson Heagerty did to him last week was shit.”
“But what he and Carnage did at the end of the show to stand up to The Enforcers, that was just the sign we needed to offer our hands!”
“Oh, and Carnage, our beer and wings offer is still good after the show tonight.”
“Do we want to win all the titles as a family? You're daaaamn right!”
“But the important thing is that we keep the power and the titles out of the hands of The Machine!”
“If The Machine tries to snuff out this Consortium of ours, they're gonna have a bad time!”
“Because little by little…”
“As this Consortium grows…”
“And with the support of all of you, the GZWA fans…”
“We’re gonna do things.”
“BIG THINGS.”
“Get used to us.”
“Get used to The Consortium.”
And if you don't know… now you know!
Then the Bradleys gesture towards the entrance ramp as “Dedicated” by Linkin Park hits the speakers and Ryan Kendrick makes his way down to the ring.
We're now shown the backstage area, where Jimmy Powell of Livewire fame is standing by, ready to do an interview.
Jimmy Powell | Second City Machine Gun
"Hey there dudes! Jimmy Powell here on the scene, and with me tonight is my main man, Ryan Kendrick."
With the introduction out of the way, the camera would pan out a bit to show Weapon X-23 himself, standing next to Jimmy, ring gear on with a smirk across his face.
"Alright homie, you know the drill. You've gotta match, one-on-one with Jayson Heagerty, the man who dicked you over in your Stardom match last week, and since then he's been talkin mad trash. Lemme get your thoughts on this guy bro."
Ryan Kendrick | Weapon X-23
"Jimmy, I'll be completely honest with you. This kids nothing but a punk with a big mouth. He's talking a big game, but what's he got to back it up? I certainly can't find anything noteworthy that he's done. Jayson says he can't see whats so special about me? Well bub, I've got news for you, because you chose about the worst person to betray. So here's an introduction, cliff notes style so your brain can process it. I'm trained by the best, to be the best. I beat a World Champion in a street fight, and burnt another alive. I fought 5 other men in Hell in a Cell and I'm still here to talk about it. I was in the first ever GZWA Tag Team championship match, which, by the way, was a Three way TLC match. So, before you run your mouth, bub, maybe you should do your homework. And now that I've given you a history lesson, here's a reality check. I see you running your mouth about how you're going to be the next champion. Kid, champions don't talk about what they're gonna do, they just do it. And I'm the best at what I do. And bub, what I do, is win."
"Woah, intense dude. It looks like you're ready for Jayson, but bro, what about the Machine? They ain't gonna take kindly to what you did during the Enforcers match last week."
Kendrick would laugh.
"Don't worry, bub. The Machine may have numbers, but I have friends too."
As Kendrick says this, out of the Shadows steps none other than the Bradley's, all brandishing their "Equalizer" kendo sticks. Kendrick smirks at the camera, before picking up an equalizer of his own- his signature barbwire bat.
"If the Machine shows their ugly mugs, we'll be ready for them."
He heads off towards the gorilla position, the Bradley's right with him.
Jimmy Powell | Second City Machine Gun

He heads off towards the gorilla position, the Bradley's right with him.
Singles Match
Jayson Heagerty vs. "Weapon-23" Ryan Kendrick
At the start of the match, Jayson Heagerty raises his hand into the air to invite Ryan Kendrick to engage into a lock-up, only for Jayson to connect with an European Uppercut. Kendrick was rocked by the blow, but responded with a Backhand Chop in a rebuttal of his own. Weapon-23 then took control by shooting Jayson into the ropes with an Irish whip. Jayson returned with a Lou Thesz Press to Ryan Kendrick while his fists reintroduced themselves to Kendrick’s face as Jayson proceeded with assault of Mounted Punches before applying a Half Boston Crab. Jayson doesn’t get the hold locked in completely as Kendrick was able to spring off the canvas and free himself with a Jumping Enzuigiri to the back of Jayson Heagerty’s head with his free leg. With Jayson momentarily stunned with this shock to the system, Kendrick spikes Jayson into the canvas with a Scorpion Death Drop. Ryan Kendrick proceeds to continue his offense with a Diving Guillotine Leg Drop and hooks Heagerty’s leg after the impact into a pin.
ONE…
TW---WAIT!!!
Ryan Kendrick’s eyes widen as he found himself being flipped over as Jayson Heagerty took control with his family’s trademark signature, Screams of the Silent (Haas of Pain). Kendrick manages to crawl towards the ropes in an attempt to obtain a rope break, but those attempts proved to be in vain. Jayson Heagerty released the hold prematurely just to hammer the targeted joints with a Running Stone Cold Elbow Drop. Jayson Heagerty repeats the gesture by once again dropping another Running Stone Cold Elbow Drop over the back of Kendrick’s knee. Heagerty then dragged Kendrick by the ailing leg near the corner before he climbed the top rope. He perched on the top turnbuckle, awaiting Kendrick to slowly rise back to his feet. Jayson met his foe with a Diving Lou Thesz Press, only for Weapon-23 to roll out of harm’s way out onto the ring apron. Jayson Heagerty shook off his crash landing and reached between the ropes to pursue Ryan Kendrick, only to receive an Equalizer (Throat Punch) to derail his efforts. This blow stuns Jayson Heagerty long enough for Ryan Kendrick to drag his body between the ropes and perform an Evenflow DDT on the ring apron.
Jayson Heagerty’s body rolls onto the ringside floor after his skull bounces off the unforgiving ring apron, granting Kendrick momentary reprieve. With the Bradley Clan watching from the bottom of the entrance ramp, Ryan Kendrick lines up his sights towards the waking Jayson Heagerty and charges towards him like a shot out of a cannon with a High-Impact Spear. Jayson reacted instantly with a Military Press to drop Kendrick onto the steps behind him. Jayson Heagerty looks to the Bradley Clan to silently communicate to stay out of his business as he looked to make an example out of Weapon-23 with a Running Facewash as Ryan Kendrick’s head hung over the side of the steps. Jayson’s knee impacts against the unforgiving steel, but he doesn’t hit his mark as Ryan Kendrick manages to roll off of the steps to safety. With Jayson Heagerty wincing in pain, Kendrick capitalized with a Release Capture Suplex against the commentary table. Kendrick slid half of his body back into the ring just as the referee made the ring out count of eight. Kendrick wasn’t going to beat Heagerty with a ring out. No, he wanted a decisive victory within the ring. Weapon-23 dragged the dead weight of Heagerty’s body towards the ring and rolled him back underneath the bottom rope before joining Jayson back into the ring.
Ryan Kendrick isn’t one without compassion for his adversary as he helped Jayson Heagerty to his feet, only to elevate the Superstar onto his shoulders in an Electric Chair Drop. Kendrick opts to drop Jayson onto the nearby turnbuckle, but that plan goes awry as the Enforcers' entrance music blasts through the PA system. The Bradley Clan turns towards the entrance ramp ready to strike, but no one is there. Jayson Heagerty uses the distraction to perform a Hurracanrana Whip to counter. This causes Kendrick’s skull to bounce off the top buckle, allowing Heagerty to hit the Stunned (Sliced Bread) and hook the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: “A man of his word - Jayson Heagerty picked up the win here tonight. If he keeps amassing victories like the hard-fought one tonight, then GZWA Management might not have any other choice than to keep an eye on him as a possible future champion.”
The Carter: “Don’t rule out Kendrick either. He definitely didn’t make that easy for Heagerty like he thought going into this match.”
Francine: “Simply put - he came, he saw, he conquered.”
Two-on-One Handicap Match
"Hardcore Monster" Carnage vs. The Enforcers (Dequan Wallace & G-Money Briggs)
Primetime returns from commercial break with Lilith, the very same woman who escorted Carnage to the ring during his horrifying return to the company during the climax of Devils May Cry, standing at the Hardcore Monster’s side with a microphone in hand.
Lilith: “Come out, come out. Wherever you are, little Enforcers. Come out and meet your makers. Enough hiding, the end is nigh.”
“Ma’am, we hate to interrupt but you have been misinformed…” starts the two gentlemen coming down to join them in the ring.
“Allow us to introduce ourselves… I’m James Rockett and that’s my brother ‘dere, Jesse. We’re here on behalf of Rockett Security Services Inc. that have been employed by the Machine to inform you that the GZWA Chairman gave the Enforcers the night off after their victory within the Steel Cage main event on our last broadcast. His words, not mine. We’re just the messengers.”
Lilith pouts, “Pity. So the Enforcers won’t be here tonight?”
Jesse Rockett nods, “Sorry, lady, but we don’t know what else to tell ya.”
Lilith smirks, “Well, you two could deliver a message back for the Machine for us then…”
James Rockett: “What kinda message?”
Lilith merely shrugs and looks back at Carnage looming behind them. The Hardcore Monster grasps both men by the throats and slams them to the canvas with authority in a Double Chokeslam. Lilith leans against the corner, watching with pride as Carnage continues to lay waste to Rockett Security Services, Inc. Carnage raises Jesse off of the mat with a Military Press before dropping him into the opposite corner with a Snake Eyes. With Jesse slumped into the corner, Carnage ensured he wasn’t alone as he hurled James into the corner with a Buckle Bomb (Running Release Powerbomb) and sandwiched both men with a Big Splash into the corner. James stumbled forward and faceplanted into the canvas with a flop that would make even the legendary Ric Flair blush. Jesse didn’t get off that easy as Carnage reeled him out of the corner and performed the Total Annihilation (Elgin Bomb), dropping Jesse right on top of James’ fallen body. Just went the GZWA Nation thought that was enough, Carnage raised Jesse and James back to their feet once more in a Double Chokeslam. Lilith laid two body bags at his feet before she signaled to finish these poor souls off. As Carnage zipped them both up into the bags, Lilith rose the microphone to her lips.
Lilith: “Anyone who stands in the way of my monster will end up in a body bag. Doesn’t matter if it’s mere mortals or any false prophets who fool themselves that they are monsters - the result is the same. Machine, we’re coming for all of you. It's only a matter of time...”
Primetime returns from commercial break with the GZWA Chairman standing next to the Queen of Sins herself with the new Television Championship on display in a glass case.
Xion Zeros | GZWA Chairman: “The holidays are right around the corner, so in the sake of the season, I wanted to give something back to the GZWA Nation. There was a lot of whining and pining for the Television Championship to be brought back, so no one can’t say that GZWA Management doesn’t listen to the people. We’ve listened and answered with this, a brand new Television Championship.”
The stunningly dressed Commissioner, with a microphone in hand, looked at the glass case and then back at ZX.
Serena Dent | GZWA Commissioner: “I tried to reason with Mr. Zeros and offered to hand out release papers to around 80% of the roster around here instead of another title belt, but hey, who said that my opinion matters…”
Xion Zeros: “There, there, ‘Scrooge’. We can’t have our loyal employees standing in the unemployment line or flipping burgers for a living. If they want to kill each other over another title, then who are we to stop them?”
Serena Dent: “*Mutters under her breath*... Most of them are to dumb to even find the unemployment line… Never mind my jolly mood, management decided that it is high time for some new competition and new goals for the up and coming New Year. After all, even though I don’t understand why, our Shining Stars and Marvelous Snowflakes need to be motivated. And what is a better way to motivate them then by dangling a set of keys… I mean by re-introducing a beloved title.”
Xion Zeros chuckles, “We give and give, yet we’re always called the ‘bad guys’ around here. We presented the roster the opportunity of a lifetime with the prize for the ongoing Stardom Tag Team Classic being the final two spots in the Riot Match at Riot Control to compete for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship and yet they complain… We’re called the ‘villains’ around here when we’re giving Mary the platform to hold her annual Reinas tournament again at the end of the month that will give a golden opportunity to women in not only GZWA but the wrestling industry as a whole. And now we go out of our way to bring this gift before the holidays with a Television Championship Special next week. But no, we’re sooooo awful, aren’t we, Mrs. Dent?”
Serena Dent: “I still think bring this title back is a bad idea… After all, our longest reigning Television Champion was Mike Bradley… I still have nightmares about it. Giving him a title is the same if you would give Bayley and her inflatable flappy arm waving around guy a Tag Team title run.”
Xion Zeros shudders, “I still want to know who was that intern who allowed him and his entire family back in here. You would think his family would be happy that they had the night off and not pulling double duty between tonight and TV Title Special...”
Serena Dent: “No worries, already fired. The scout who brought Adam Rose’s discount Rosebud squad back into GZWA…”
Xion Zeros: “We can turn this into a positive like we always do. No matter who wins the Television Championship, they will have to obey by the new rulings for this title in 2018. Every match that the title holder is booked in, the title will be up for grabs. That includes tag matches as well, so the champion will have to have eyes in the back of their head if they wish to keep it for long. I’m positive that will create the kind of ‘excitement’ and drama we enjoy around here - without the use of reality television. Y’know we don’t want anyone else upset at us for cancelling Total Vixens...”
Serena Dent: “Oh believe you me, that was my version of a Christmas miracle. Anywho, even though I am pretty skeptical about the competition around here for the Television title, I can’t deny the fact that this new concept will definitely make for some exciting television and live events for the fans in attendance. After all, reason to become a subscriber to our network, right?”
Xion Zeros: “Of course! The opportunity will create more competition. With so many egomaniacs around here, they will step over each other at every turn for this golden opportunity. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these individuals sell out their own mothers and their first-born child just to win.”
Serena Dent: “I am much more interested in the organ market. I heard livers are all the rage right now.”
Xion Zeros: “I know a guy who could hook you up in that department. Just don’t meet him anywhere without plenty of lights. I kid, I kid… maybe.
In all seriousness, we wish all of our talent the best of luck in all of these unique opportunities that have been flourishing within GZWA this month, whether it be the Stardom Tag Team Classic, Reina de Reinas Tres, or even the Television Championship Special next week, we’re looking forward to see who comes out on top.”
Serena Dent: “Just don’t embarrass us. It is enough for us to live with that Amanda was champion and Tia Brooks is still a part of this company… And don’t get me started on the social media presence of some of our former employees… So, in conclusion, break a leg. Or any other preferred limb.”
Xion Zeros: “Amanda was only champion long enough to serve the Machine’s purposes. She wouldn’t have won that World title at all if it wasn’t for the Machine. Besides, as long as she’s in-debt to me that monkey is going to continue jumping through flaming hoops. Ms. Brooks is still here? I thought she went back to training her students or is that jealousy I hear in your voice for Miss Not-Phillip Brooks?”
Serena Dent: “The only one jealous is Mr. Brooks, after Blake Harper threw him under the bus… Literally, and then ran off with a bunch of dudes who break noses and necks for a living.”
Xion Zeros: “Poor guy was left with a broken heart. Such a pity. Tends to be the trend around here when people don’t get what they want. Alas, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.”
The camera cuts to backstage.
I wish to be apart of this.
Says the voice of Justin Lockhart.
I wanted to be champion, but I have been hit with wall after wall.
He tells himself.
What do you do when you keep falling off the ladder? What's next? Where do I go from here?
He asks himself.
I would love to be a part of your show, but this is the only way. I've been sitting at home. I love being home with my wife and kids. But I also need money. Without a match, without a segment... I might aswell be unemployed.
Letting his frustration out.
I'm tired of this!
He tells the camera and stands up, having enough.
I'm tired of being a no one. Someone who you would rather just sweep under the rug. I thought GZWA would be my revival, but it looks like the only way I'm gonna do that is to take things in my own... hands.
He tells them.
I'm gonna be noticed Xion, you can't shut me up! I don't care if I have to come there and I have to take out your little Enforcers. I don't care anymore. You made me a man with nothing to lose anymore.
He grabs the camera and shakes it.
Nothing... to... lose.
Dropping the camera, as the feed just ends.
Main Event: Tag Team Match
"Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & Senor Vinnie vs. "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez & Lily Evol (w/ "The Glam Star" Brooklyn Glamorous)
Prof. X: “Okay folks, it’s now the main event match. And boy what a match that we are having!!
A tag match with people having a disdain for each other!!”
Francine: “The question will be, how will these two teams function? You have Laura and Casey
on opposite sides, with people that they have never tagged with before!!”
The Carter: “Are you kidding me? Whomever Casey tags with will win, because she is so
strong that she does not need a partner. Oh and by the way? Lily beat Laura last week, at least this is a team of winners!!”
Prof. X: “We do know that Senor Vinnie is undefeated right??”
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The bell has rang and we can see Vinnie and Laura discuss who is about to start as we
see Casey Cortez standing there in her corner waiting whomever it is that will oppose her. Finally Vinnie convinces Laura that he will take the start of the match, clearly wanting to prove himself against Casey as Laura reluctantly agrees.
The Carter: “I hope that this guy knows what he is getting himself into!!”
Francine: “Well he did get some advice from Amanda to focus on her old injury on her shoulder.”
Prof. X: “True, but we have to see whether that would be enough.”
The two circle each other, Vinnie is clapping his hands as fans are responding to him. Clearly not liking Casey, especially after her heinous attack last week on her sister. The two lock arms as Vinnie manages to get a side headlock on his much smaller opponent, but she immediately pushes him in the ropes and sends him off for an Irish Whip. When Vinnie comes off the ropes, he is levelled by a huge clothesline. This causes him to roll out of the ring as he feels his throat due to the impact of the blow.
The Carter: “Welcome to the GZWA kid!!”
Casey follows Vinnie to the outside, bashing her forearms into his back before whipping him into the steel ring steps. Causing a loud thud to be heard as he is holding on to his shoulder, while Casey is taunting the fans and then Vinnie. She slides in and out of the ring to force the referee to restart the match once more before grabbing the shoulder that Vinnie hit into the steel steps, she pulls him to his feet before dropping him with a Body Slam on his injured arm on the concrete floor. Vinnie screams in pain as he rolls around on the concrete.
Francine: “I bet Vinnie didn’t expected this!!”
The Carter: “Back to the drawing board big boy!!”
Casey rolls him back in the ring, believing that she has injured him a lot, when in the ring she goes for a knee drop on the head before going for the cover.
One!
Two!
Vinnie kicks out, causing Casey to realize he has some more fight left in him. She tags in Lily as she grabs Vinnie and sets him up for another slam. But this time Vinnie has managed to clear his mind and slides out of the grip of Lily and lands behind her. Dropping her with a clothesline after Lily turned around and that causes him to tag in Laura. Causing the Tattoed Beauty to jump over the top rope and charges in on Lily. Angered over what happened last week and wanting to get her revenge upon the woman, bashing her in the back with forearms before Lily pushes her off of her with force. Laura gets pushed into the ropes as Lily charges in on her, but Laura sidesteps and then hits a kick in the back of Lily’s head. Then dropping her with a reverse neck breaker and goes for the cover.
One!
Two!
Lily bench presses Laura off of her as Laura runs to the ropes, she charges in on Lily and goes for a cross body block. Only to be catched by Lily, who lifts her up on her shoulders and goes for a Samoan Drop before going for the cover.
One!
Two!
Vinnie breaks up the three count as he delivers an elbow drop on the back of Lily, the ref tries to restore order when Casey runs in as well but fails. All four wrestlers are battling each other as Lily lifts up Laura on her shoulder and charges in towards the corner to drop her face first into the turnbuckles. Laura manages to slide out of the grip and pushes Lily into the turnbuckles, before jumping on the top rope and grabbing Lily’s head for a spinning DDT off the top rope in
the middle of the ring.
The Carter: “Good grief!!!”
Prof. X.: “Laura is on fire!!”
On the other side of the ring we see Casey drive the head of Vinnie into the turnbuckles before grabbing his arm and climbing the turnbuckles herself while still holding on to the arm as she walks the top rope.
Francine: “Old School!!”
But Vinnie makes her pay for it, using his strength to pull her off the ropes and come crashing down on the canvas. There he grabs her by the hair and whips her into the ropes and levels her with a running avalanche. Dropping her hard on the canvas, giving the referee the chance to tell him to get out of the ring. Vinnie is arguing with the referee that it is unfair because Casey is still in the ring, but finally decides to get out of the ring. But this gives Casey the chance to get back up and sees Laura climbing the top rope and executing a moonsault of the turnbuckles, as she catches her on her shoulders and drives her down with a running Powerslam. There she slides out of the ring as the referee is taking his time to get on Casey that what she did as wrong.
Francine: “Like it or not, Casey once again made a HUGE impact on this match!!
We see Lily get to her feet, struggling before she sees that Laura is out of it. She sees that the referee is still distracted she goes to the turnbuckles, setting her up for a splash off the second rope on top of Laura. Vinnie quickly runs in the ring and drags Laura out of harm's way, just in time before Lily comes off the ropes and crashes into the canvas hard. Casey notices this and sees Vinnie slide out of the ring. She charges in on him as the two start to brawl on the outside, whipping Vinnie into the security railing while Laura is slowly getting to her senses again and sees what has happened.
Prof. X.: “Can she take advantage of the situation given to her??”
Laura goes for the cover as the referee starts to use the three count once more.
One!
Two!
Thre…NO!!
Lily somehow manages to get her shoulder off the canvas in time, causing Laura to roll off of her as she is catching her breath. In the meantime on the rampway we see Casey sidestepping a clothesline and kicks him in the midsection as he turns around. Setting him up for a Powerbomb on the stage, causing the fans to catch their breath in anticipation. But the much larger Vinnie manages to back body drop her on the canvas before dropping to his hands and knees. After a few moments he catches his senses and grabs her by the head and pulls her up to her hands and knees, he puts her head between his legs as his hands move towards her upper body and holds her there before suddenly…
The Carter: “No way!!”
Francine: “Is he…. Tickling her???”
Casey gets tickled in the ribs by Vinnie before we see her scream and use her strength to push him away from her. Becoming irate she quickly gets to her feet and charges in on him, as he catches her and executes a Belly to Belly on the stage.
The camera’s turn back towards Laura and Lily, both have gotten to their feet and start to slug it out on each other. Clearly exhausted from the fight as they try to establish any form of dominance over the other. Lily finally manages to get the upper hand on Laura as she knees her in the midsection before setting pushing her into the ropes and setting her up for the Popup into the Samoan Drop finisher that she used on her last week. But this time Laura is prepared as she manages to rake her in the eyes and that causes Lily to let go off Laura. Who quickly puts Lily in her finishing submission hold.
The Carter: “Nighty Night!!!”
The referee checks on Lily whether she is able to continue or wants to submit. She slowly drops to a knee while trying to reach for the ropes, but is just inches away from the ropes. The fans are cheering Laura on, wanting her to avenge her loss last week against this woman. Lily drops to both knees as she is still trying to reach for the ropes as it is just inches away from her. She places her hands on the canvas as she is crawling over towards the ropes in a last ditch effort
to succeed and she does. Finally managing to grab the bottom rope, forcing the ref to use the five count on Laura to break the hold up.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Laura finally lets go, both are exhausted, both of them have dazed looks on their faces as the referee is starting to use the ten count on them
One!
Two!
Three!
On the ramp area we see that Casey is being dragged to the backstage area by Vinnie as he
sets her up for a bearhug in the hallway. Squeezing the life out of her when suddenly we see Casey’s eyes grow large in shock, the camera pans out as we see that Vinnie has put his hands on her backside. This causes her to bash her head into his face and then follows it up with sending him face first into the concrete wall next to a popcorn vending machine. She grabs him by the hair and pulls him off the wall before sending him face first into the pop corn vending
machine.
Casey: “GET YOUR STINKING HANDS OFF OF ME!!!”
Casey stands over the motionless Vinnie as the shot goes back to the match inside the ring
as the referee has reached the count of eight before Laura has gotten to her feet first and is followed by Lily. Lily charges the corner, only for the Tattooed Beauty to trip her up with Drop Toe Hold. What Lily didn't see was that Laura removed the padding from the turnbuckle when she was recovering. Lily's face bounced right off the exposed metal. Lily was stunned by the blow, which didn't help as Laura added more trauma to her cranium with not one but two Splitting Headcases. Lily Avol stood on jelly legs as Laura Jackson wasted no time applying the Nighty-Night once more. Due to the trauma to her head, Lily was unresponsive to the hold and was quickly put to sleep by the Tattooed Beauty, effectively winning this main event.
We are backstage after the show, Vinnie can be seen walking around with an angry look on his face. Searching for Casey Cortez for the fight that they had backstage. Clearly he is not done with her.
Vinnie:”Where is she!!!”
He sees a stage hand and grabs him by the shirt as he lifts him up from the ground as he stares him in the eyes.
Vinnie: “You tell me right now where I can find Casey Cortez, or else!!!”
The stage hand doesn’t say anything, but points towards a door that says CC. Vinnie turns his head towards the door before turning back towards the stage hand.
Vinnie: “Thanks…, you will live… for now”
He drops the stage hand as he barges into the door of Casey Cortez and find her just putting on a clean shirt.
Casey: “What the?? What the hell are you…”
Before she can finish her sentence it is Vinnie that charges in on her and whips her into the massage table as she hits the table with her midsection.
Casey: “You son of a ….”
Vinnie rubs her face into the table before locking both arms around her back and holds her down. He grabs her by the hair and whacks her into the door that leads towards the bathroom as she stumbles to the bathroom sink.
Vinnie; “It’s time that you are going to clear that pretty head of yours!!”
He grabs her head as he turns on the water and puts her head underneath it as she is struggling to get free from his grip. He then picks her up and clotheslines her down onto the shower area. There he charges in on her, but she manages to sidestep and bashes him face first into the shower. She is coughing from all the water as she grabs him by the head and bashes him into the concrete wall before going for an Irish whip back into the locker room. Only to have Vinnie to reverse it and executes a Belly to Belly suplex as he grabs her arm and drops his knee into her shoulder as that causes her to scream out in agonizing pain as she grabs hold of her shoulder that she has injured in the past. Vinnie kicks her a few times before GZWA security comes in and splits them apart. Vinnie grins over towards Casey as he is being escorted to the door.
Vinnie: “Now you know that you don’t mess with Senor Vinnie!!”
