Primetime opens with the GZWA Chairman already standing in the ring, awaiting the arrival of the Bradley Clan.
Xion Zeros | GZWA Chairman: “After the success of Reina de Reinas Tres, I want thank Mary and all of the talent involved - within and outside of GZWA - for her contributions on making that event truly spectacle to behold. I would also like to congratulate the winner of the tournament, Frontier Grappling Arts’ own Fujiko Mine, as well as the new GZWA Women’s Champion Vi Malkov on their wins during that event.
The ladies had their time to shine, but tonight we’re going back to business. I’m making it my business to settle these theatrics with the Bradley Clan once and for all. We agreed to a cease fire of sorts to come down to this ring and discuss this matter like civilized individuals, which allowed Danielle Bradley to remain as an entrant in the Reina de Reinas Tres tournament.
At that moment, the lights go out, and the crescendo of “Hang ‘em High" by Dropkick Murphys blasts through the arena. The Bradley Clan emerges to a huge pop, with a change in their attire. They are all wearing all black, with hoodies, black baseball caps, dark sunglasses and black bandanas over their mouths, brandishing their signature kendo sticks. They hop onto the apron, then over the top rope. Once the Bradleys are in the ring, Xion urges the Enforcers and Rockett Security Inc. to keep their distance while he continues.
Xion Zeros | GZWA Chairman: “It would be easy for me to merely fire all of you for the various disturbances that you have caused on my roster and for assaulting defenseless backstage personnel, but I’m a reasonable man. You want payback for being ‘wronged’ by the Machine but the Enforcers here want payback for what you did to the Rocketts a few weeks ago…”
Though their faces are obscured, the fans can tell that the Bradleys find Z’s last comment ridiculous. And as such, Mike retorts.
“Why the hell would The Enforcers - oh wait, where are my manners?”
“HOW’S IT HANGIN’, DALLAS!”
“A LITTLE TO THE LEFT!”
“Yeah, that's what I like to hear!”
The Chairman and the rest of The Machine roll their eyes at the Bradleys’ greeting.
“As I was saying, why the hell would The Enforcers care about Wimp & Shrimp Security over here after we fucking ate them alive? You two are smart, right? You guys are tough, right? You don't really need these weasely motherfuckers to be your first line of defense, right? Or do we find out at long last that Z’s big bad bodyguards need bodyguards themselves? What does that say about who you - and The Machine as a whole - really are?”
“And as for wanting to fire us, well, Z, you’ve made some dumbass decisions in your time, but that would be the ultimate deathblow to this company if that were to happen! Our return breathed life into this company for the first time since we left, and now you're trying to sabotage that? Taking a page out of the Democratic Party’s playbook, I see.”
“We got enough shit on our hands, even more so with Crystal Millar screwing over my wife in the Reina de Reinas Tournament. What if we did some digging, Z? Would we find that she's in your pocket too? Even if she isn't, what we've got in store for her should further drive home the point to each and every one of you corporate lackeys that YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BRADLEYS!”
The crowd pops, but The Machine appears unfazed.
“This get-up that we’re sporting right now? This is no gimmick. This is who we are. We are rebels. We stand up for the oppressed. We fight corruption and authoritarianism at every turn, in the wrestling world and the real world. We will burn everything we have to the ground if we can catch you in the flames. We are brash. We are confident. If you wanna start somethin’, then goddammit, there’ll be somethin’! You talk shit, you get hit!”
The crowd pops as the Bradleys raise their kendo sticks defiantly in the air, but at that moment...
“Hold that thought, boys.” starts Morrigan Aensland with Carnage following closely behind her as she walks down the entrance ramp. Carnage holds the ring ropes open for and this gothic beauty steps into the ring. The Hardcore Monster follows behind her by stepping over the ropes and glaring at everyone standing in the ring.
Morrigan Aensland | Mistress of Monsters: “It seems that the ongoing trend around GZWA is tampering with forces that one cannot fathom comprehending and meddling with forces out of their control. We have a set of individuals who like to poke the bear but throw caution at the wind at the inevitable consequences while the other is so drunk with power that they are blind to what is going to transpire.
The Bradleys may have their juvenile antics, but they do have a point even though it put across so crudely. Your so-called Machine has been toying around with forces that you cannot comprehend for a few years now, only for you to step on the Devil’s cape when you three carelessly discarded my monster when he lost the World Heavyweight Championship. What did that bring you? Nothing - Amanda Cortez may have won it back from Ry Drake and handled to you on a silver platter in hopes of earning her freedom from servitude to you from that stranglehold that you have on her life and everything that she holds dear, do you really think that is enough to stop Carnage from exacting his revenge upon you all.”
Xion takes a step backwards and puts himself between the Enforcers and increasing number of bodies on the opposing side of the ring.
Morrigan steps forward to continue, “The only reason that he doesn’t tear everyone - all of the Machine here as well as the Bradleys - in this ring apart is because of ME. I want to hear what feeble excuse you have for what your crimes, Mr. Zeros, because when my monster is done with you, I doubt you’re going to be in any condition for talking, let alone holding that newborn baby that your wife has on the way…”
Carnage steps forward with the Enforcers holding their ground to stand between Morrigan and the GZWA Chairman. To their surprise, he steps forward past them and raises the microphone to his lips.
Xion Zeros | GZWA Chairman: “To be quite honest, I harbor no resentment towards your so-called pet monster here. He served my cause diligently and admirably, but when pieces of a machine fail, then it’s time to replace them and send them to the scrapyard. From what I have seen since his return your refurbished product is holding up quite nicely… If I may add, I thank him for his services, but as you can see, I deal with my brand of monsters.”
Morrigan smirks and snaps her fingers as Carnage stood ready to go on the attack as the Enforcers were ready to intervene as the Bradleys stood back watching the show.
Casey has watched the whole scene from the ringside and didn’t had in mind to get involved, but as she sees that the whole scene becomes dangerous, she decides to interrupt them. She slides into the ring and stands between the Bradleys, Carnage and the Enforcers.
“Hey ...what the fuck are you doing here? You all behave like little children, who fight for their favorite toy. But as we talk about fighting …”
Once again she has her typical cold glare in her eyes.
“I don’t give a fuck whether you idiots here kill each other or not, but do me a favor and do it now and then the rest of us might be able to care for the more important things in this company. I dunno… for example, the World Heavyweight Championship. While all of you have been distracted with theatrics behind this stunt, Reina de Reinas Tres, the Television Championship Tournament that individuals pleaded and whined like children for, and the recent Stardom Tag Team Classic, I’ve still had my eyes locked on that prize.”
She glares at both groups.
“I will continue do that while you all keep acting like kids. And now you hopefully all get it, it’s not too hard to understand. I’m here because I want that title and I will get it ...really soon. And that means that I don’t care who’s on which side in this game. For me you are all enemies who will get destroyed when they come into my way - whether it be tonight or at Riot Control. The only thing that interests me here is to get a title match and to become the World Heavyweight champion and none of you idiots will be able to stop me. I’m not loyal to anybody, just to myself, so better get out of my way, or it might become painful for you.
And before you get any cute ideas, Xion, I won’t be handing that title over like that stupid cunt called my step-sister did.”
She lowers her microphone and glares at her potential opponents.
Xion Zeros | GZWA Chairman: “Now this just got interesting. It’s not like all of you have anything else to do tonight, so I pose a simple solution. Everyone wants payback and to get their hands on each other in some fashion while we still have the matter of Riot Control’s main event fresh on everyone’s minds now that the Stardom Tag Team Classic has concluded.
Tonight’s second feature main event will be a 5-Man Elimination Tag Team Match where the Bradley Clan and Carnage will face Casey Cortez, The Enforcers, and Rockett Security Inc. - No disqualification and count outs. The only way to win is to eliminate every member of the opposing team by pinfall or submission.
The winning team shall have the right either to name the entry numbers for the opposing team… OR name the entry numbers for themselves in the match. The twist will be that the ENTIRE team has to agree on the choice. The winners of the Stardom Tag Team Classic are guaranteed the last two spots in that match so obviously those are off the table.”
Suddenly, the bell tolls and the lights go out. The crowd erupts as the lights come back on to reveal GZWA’s first World Heavyweight Champion, The Doombringer, standing in the middle of the ring staring down both parties. The feeling gets a little too eerie in the arena as both parties leave the ring, leaving The Doombringer to stand in the middle of the ring alone.
GZWA Tag Team Championship Match
Bobbi Jackson & The Frosts (Eliza Frost/Dominique Frost; champions) vs. Knightmare Inc. (Jayson Heagerty and Chance Justice)
Prof. X: After that blockbuster of an announcement by the GZWA Chairman for tonight’s second main event on our already stacked card for tonight, we’re getting this show underway with the GZWA Tag Team Championships on the line.
Francine: This is the first time that the titles have been defended in several months since the GZWA Chairman decreed that the titles wouldn’t be defended during the Stardom Tag Team Classic. I didn’t have a problem with it like someone does as the teams that had the chance to take them out were granted a guaranteed title shot, but the ladies found a way to battle against the odds and win the tournament.
The Carter: And looked DAYUM good doing it too…
Francine: Don’t start, Carter.
After the team of Bobbi and the Frosts agree that Dominique would be wrestling this match with Bobbi, Bobbi Jackson starts the match with Chance Justice. Chance went to wrench Bobbi’s arm but she spun out of position and retaliated with a Discus Clothesline. Chance ducks underneath the blow and responds with a Russian Leg Sweep to floor the Bobbilicious One. Chance then lines up a Super Kick as Bobbi stood back up, only for the Bobbilicious One to whip Chance to the floor with a Dragon Screw. From that position, Bobbi then applied the Show-Shooter (Modified Sharpshooter) to the grounded Chance Justice. Bobbi didn’t manage to have the hold in for long until she knocked off her feet by Jayson Heagerty coming down from the top rope with a Missile Dropkick to free his partner in crime. After Jayson hit the mat, Dominique intervenes with a Leg Trapping Curb Stomp. Before she could inflict further punishment, the referee ushers her out of the ring. Unfortunately for the Bobbilicious One left in the ring, that was all the time that Chance Justice needed to recuperate. He sent Bobbi into the corner with an Irish Whip and connects with a Shining Wizard. With Bobbi prone on the mat in front of the corner post, he adds a 450 Splash for good measure before hitting the ropes. His intentions are made clear as he charges into Dominique Frost full force and knocks her off the ring apron with a Spear between the ropes. What Dominique didn’t notice was that Chance made the blind tag to Jayson Heagerty to continue the fight by quickly pinning Bobbi in the center of the ring.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Jayson smacks the mat in frustration before getting back to his feet. He connects with a Running Stone Cold Elbow Drop to the grounded Bobbi Jackson before taking a moment to reposition himself on the top rope for another. This time however, Jayson Heagerty misses his mark as Bobbi shook the ropes after staggering back to her feet. She got underneath Jayson doubled over on the top rope and performed a Death Valley Driver from the middle rope to send Jayson crashing back into the canvas. Bobbi crouches down into the corner in preparation and stalks her prey for the pending Spear as Heagerty slowly rose back to a vertical base. She charges in and found herself propelled into the air as Heagerty responds with a Military Press Drop to counter and slam her at his feet. With the Bobbilicious One grounded once more, Heagerty applies the Screams of the Silent (Haas of Pain). Bobbi was nowhere near the ropes to look for a rope break and she was quickly running out of options the longer she remained in this hold. Fortunately for Bobbi, Dominique came to her aid in the form of a Running Big Boot to break the hold - much like how Jayson came to Chance’s aid earlier in this match. Dominique quickly returned to her team’s corner - no less encouraged by the protests of the in-ring official and joined with Chance Justice in urging their respective partners to make the tag.
Both Bobbi and Jayson crawl over to their corners in unison and make the tag. Dominique greets Chance with a Choke Slam, only for the Superstar to spike her head-first into the canvas with a Snap DDT as she attempted to elevate him up into the air. Dominique staggered back to her feet stunned from the blow, which allowed Chance to apply the Justice is Served (Octopus Hold). With Bobbi recuperating on the ring apron, Dominique was on her own in this situation. Dominique sinks to her knees briefly from the hold, but manages to power through with a Pendulum Backbreaker to counter. Before Dominique could breath a sigh of relief, Jayson Heagerty comes down from the top rope with a diving variation of the Like a Tornado (Tornado DDT) to spike Dominique’s head into the canvas yet again. This time, Bobbi was able to make the save with a well-placed Super Kick to send Jayson over the top rope and out onto the ring apron. Chance then connects with a Zig Zag on Bobbi from behind to remove that potential threat. Bobbi rolls out onto ring apron as well while Chance Justice set his crosshairs back onto the waking Dominiqtrix as she sat up on all-fours. Chance aimed to kill with the Only Need One Chance (Jumping Curb Stomp). That was the plan until Dominique caught him onto her shoulders. She dropped Chance face-first onto the nearby turnbuckle with an Electric Chair Drop. Dominique then tags out to Bobbi on the ring apron and slides out of the ring between Jayson’s legs as he stood on the ring apron trying to shake off the cobwebs. To the surprise and awe of the GZWA Nation watching live in attendance, Dominique then removes Jayson from the ring apron by force in the form of the Ice Pick (Crucifix Powerbomb), sending him crashing into the ringside barricade.
Back within the confines of the ring, Bobbi races in to connect with a Bulldog to the waking Chance Justice, only to find herself dropped to the mat from an Atomic Drop Slam from Chance as his rebuttal. Chance vaults up the corner post and performs the Open Road (Split-Legged Corkscrew Moonsault/Starship Pain) on Bobbi and hooks her leg to make the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Dominique Frost gets back onto the ring apron, urging Bobbi to make the cover. Jayson isn’t out of commission - not by a long shot. He jumps back up onto the ring apron and sacrifices himself by executing the Stunned (Sliced Bread) off the ring apron to leave Dominique down and out at ringside.
Jayson Heagerty then proceeds to tear away the steel steps away from the outside corner of the ring and threw them into the ring for Chance Justice to use. Eliza Frost tugs at Jayson’s legs, trying to plead with him that’s too far. He shoves Eliza to the floor as Chance Justice aims to go for the kill. That window of opportunity was all that the Frosts needed as Dominique used the last bit of her strength to deliver a Backdrop Suplex to send them both crashing back down to the ringside floor.
This match was going to be decided between Bobbi Jackson and Chance Justice. Chance was looking to end this here and now as he went for the Only Need One Chance once more. A loud CLANG is heard as Chance stomps onto the unforgiving steel. Unfortunately for Chance Justice, he missed his mark. Fortunately for Bobbi Jackson, she moved out of the line of fire at the last instant. That didn’t deter Chance in the least as he went to smash Bobbi’s head into the steel steps with a Running Knee Strike instead. Bobbi met his attack with one of her own as she connects with a Chop Block that sent him face-first into the steps instead. The blow stuns Chance Justice long enough for Bobbi to shake off the cobwebs and hit the Pedigree. The blonde Vixen covers Chance as the referee made the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: That was a strong performance for the resident Tag Team Champions and winners of the Stardom Tag Team Classic.
Francine: I wouldn’t rule out Knightmare Inc. out of the tag title race either. They showed tonight that they were willing to go at all lengths to win the gold.
