MAIN EVENT LIVE FROM THE TIROLER WASSERKRAFT ARENA IN INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA

EWC PRIME
OCTOBER 14, 2018
LIVE! from Multiple locations
Commentators: Eva Leurox and Nessa Reeve
Announcer: Damon Reid
Senior Referee: Niklaus Forbes
Backstage Interviewer: Jenna Salvatore

While 'Could've Been Me' by The Struts blares over the loudspeakers at every locations, golden fireworks light up the sky in a display that shines brightly regardless of it is day or night. Brilliant blue spotlights swirl over the cheering crowds, whipping them up into a near-frenzy of excitement at the show to come.

Cameras flash all around the arena as the Mac-Tron cycles through Prime's roster. Aeon Khronos, Candy, Captain Taco, Carlos Ruiz, Criss Cassidy, El Pablo, Equinox, Frankie Romono, Freddie Styles, Jason Lawrence, Jonty Kelly, Jordan Sharpe, Khaos, Killjoy Ito, Patches, Neveah, Richard Garcia, Shotaro Hashimoto, Stitches the Clown, Trixie, and Walter Melon are all featured. After one final pan over the crowd...

The camera centers on ringside at the Tiroler Wasserkraft Arena, where Eva Leurox and Nessa Reeve sit. As soon as they notice the camera, both commentators smile.

Eva Leurox: Good evening, and thank you for joining us for another amazing episode of Prime! I'm Eva Leurox, and joining me as always is Nessa Reeve.

Nessa Reeve: Hi, everyone! I hope you're all ready for some more G-1 qualifying action, because we've got three exciting match-ups to look forward to as Kristian Bane takes on Walter Melon, Jason Lawrence steps into the ring with Carlos Ruiz, and Xavier Reid faces Frankie Romono!

Leurox: And in our main event, two of the men that came incredibly close to punching their tickets for the G-1 face off in a bid to regain some momentum as Jonty Kelly takes on Aeon Khronos! That one's going to one for the history books... I can feel it!

Reeve: We can't forget about our opening bout, which sees Draco Lazarus return to Prime to go up against Jordan Sharpe! But before that, I've got word from backstage that our GM, Marshall Evans, is on his way out to address the fans!

Leurox: Let's take it to the ring!

'Could've Been Me' hits the sound system for the second time and the crowd is quick to cheer, their cheers getting louder as Marshall Evans emerges at the top of the ramp. Evans strides down the ramp with a grin on his face, slapping the hands of the fans as he heads to the ring steps, climbing them and then entering the ring properly.

Leurox: The fans are giving our boss quite the warm reception, and considering his recent decision to bring the G1 to the EWC, I can't say I'm surprised.

Reeve: Neither am I! It doesn't help that he's got those dashing good looks to work with, too.

Gesturing for his music to be cut, Marshall takes a deep breath and soaks in the electric atmosphere he has helped to create. And once the music is cut?

Evans: Guten abend!

Evans grins all the wider at the even louder spike of cheers he gets for that gesture of respect.

Leurox: Fun fact: German is Austria's official language. I thought it was Austrian, but apparently that's a regional dialect.

Reeve: Can we afford the jingle for 'The More You Know'?

Leurox: Unfortunately, no. The licensing fee for that is ridiculous.

Prime's GM lets out a chuckle before smiling sheepishly and bringing his mic back to his lips.

Evans: I admit, that's... about all the German that I know. Well, beyond one other phrase that I'm gonna whip out right now because you all deserve it. Danke schön! Thank you so much for joining us here tonight for our main event! But before we get to the action, I've got some important information to get out to both the roster and the audience, be they here with us now or watching on EWCTV. I speak, of course, of the G1. While some of our fans are familiar with the concept, I've been getting a lot of questions about how it works and what it will entail--so I'm here to explain how Prime's G1 is going to work.

That easy-going air surrounding Marshall vanishes, his expression going serious as he gets down to the important business at hand.

Evans: There will be a total of sixteen wrestlers, split into two groups of eight by random drawing. We'll call them Group A and Group B. Each group will have a round robin tournament, facing every other member of their group one-on-one. Each win is worth two points, draws are worth one point, and losses? Well, those get zero points. Once the round robins have ended, the two competitors that have the highest scores in their respective groups will make it to the finals.

Leurox: Wait. I thought it was just the single top score from each group that makes it--

Reeve: That's how it's traditionally done, but remember who we're talking about here. Marshall's got to put his own stamp on it.

Reeve turns out to be right since that grin from before is revealing itself, Marshall's excitement at his

Evans: The Final Four will face off in an elimination match to decide the winner, though the stipulation is gonna be something I keep close to my chest for now. Rest assured though, dear viewers.... what I've got up my sleeve is going to make you all very, very happy. Now, there is one other detail I need to mention--

Before he can continue, 'I Want Candy' blares over the sound system and every fan in the arena roars their support for the Indy Champion as she emerges from the back. With both the Indy Championship and the Undisputed Championship proudly displayed, Candy makes her way to ringside with a spring in her step and a smile on her face, doing her best to slap the hands of every fan she passes.

Leurox: What an ovation! I can't even hear myself think!

Reeve: I wonder what Candy's doing here! She got a well-deserved night off tonight. Why isn't she raiding any of the local sweets shoppes?

Marshall rushes over to hold the ropes open for his champion, allowing Candy to climb into the ring before offering her a hand to shake. Once the greeting has been complete and her music has been cut, Marshall is bringing his mic to his lips while a P.A. hands Candy her own microphone.

Evans: Good evening, Candy! To what do I owe the pleasure of your sweet, sweet presence?

The pun coming from the GM has Candy giggling some as she raises the mic up to speak.

Candy: Well, the way I see it, is you can't have a show without me. It wouldn't be very sweet otherwise. Besides, I think we need to have a little discussion, Mr. Evans.

Evans: Oh, about what?

Candy: See, I've been hearing an awful lot about this G1 tournament. It has the entire Prime roster buzzing. Maybe even the whole EWC for that matter. And truth be told, I want in on it!

Marshall nods a little.

Evans: Of course you can have a qualifier! I was planning on giving you one on the next episode of Prime.

A pause; Evans cradles his chin, appearing to be in thought for a moment before he continues.

Evans: ...actually, I've got a better idea. You need a contender for the Indy Championship, right? How about we kill two birds with one stone. At Hardcore Revolution, you will defend the Indy Championship against the winner of our main event with not only the title, but a spot in the G1 on the line!

The crowd's approval of the idea earns cheers, and that in turn makes Marshall smile all over again.

Leurox: That's huge! Both Aeon Khronos and Jonty Kelly came up short in their qualifiers for the G1. Having a second chance and a title shot all at once just raised the stakes of the main event tenfold!

Reeve: That's putting it lightly. I get the feeling they're going to put on a classic tonight with that much on the line!

Candy nods with approval.

Candy: I'm more than okay with that. It's been awhile since I've defended the Indy Championship, so I'm looking forward to doing so in every round of the G1 tournament should I retain!

The crowd's cheers rise to a fever pitch as Marshall's smile turns into a full-on beaming grin at the display of fighting spirit on display.

Evans: I like that competitive fire, Candy! And you know what? I think that should be rewarded. As such, regardless of who holds the Indy Championship during the G1 will defend the title in each and every bout! Not only that, but whoever holds the gold at the end of the round robin rounds will get three bonus points!

The smile never fades from her face as she holds up three fingers.

Candy: So that'll be three points for me and the count of three for all of you. Because if I have anything to say about it, I'm entering this G1 tournament as the Indy Champion and I'm leaving the same way. However, I wish you all the best in trying to stop me. Let's keep it sweet and make things interesting around here, shall we?

Candy questions as the cheers continue to reign throughout the Tiroler Wasserkraft Arena.

Candy: It's all going to start with either Aeon Khronos or Jonty Kelly. I'll be seeing one of you at Hardcore Revolution!

'I Want Candy' plays as Candy raises both titles to cheers from the crowd, the double champion walking over to shake Marshall's hand. The scene fades to commercial.

MATCH 1

JORDAN SHARPE Vs
DRACO LAZARUS
Live from the Kasarani Indoor Arena in Nairobi, Kenya
FRIDAY PRE-RECORDING

DING DING DING

To say there was a sharp contrast between the attitudes of Jordan Sharpe and Draco Lazarus before the bell rang was the mother of all understatements, with Draco’s never-ending cockiness on full display while Jordan simply waited in his corner with an expression best described as being one of quiet determination. Once the bell rang, Sharpe and Lazarus went for the lock-up in the middle of the ring, but the moment that Sharpe’s superior strength began winning out, Lazarus slipped free of the collar and elbow tie-up before slapping Sharpe across the face! That sort of antagonism soon became the name of the game each and every time that Jordan began to gain the advantage, Draco putting on a master class on how to disrupt his opponent’s momentum each and every chance he got. After one particularly vicious cheap shot, Draco connected with the three-move sequence he calls the Golden Triangle, a clothesline followed by a back elbow that was then capped off with a diving somersault stunner!

The fit that Draco threw upon only getting the two-count on Jordan was described as ‘absolutely epic’ by those that were in attendance.

As it turned out, Lazarus’s fit-throwing proved to be the perfect opportunity for Sharpe to regain the advantage. A particularly stiff clothesline from Sharpe was followed up by a flurry of elbow strikes that rang Lazarus's bell but good, driving him back into the corner.... and once Draco was stuck in that No Man's Land? Lazarus took The Freakin Boot to the face not just once, but twice, causing him to stumble forward before he collapsed to the mat like a sack of potatoes. Sensing the blood in the water, Jordan dragged Draco to his feet and sent him into the ropes, setting him up perfectly for the running palm strike to the face that Jordan calls the BFPT! From there, the three-count was academic.

DING DING DING

WINNER: JORDAN SHARPE VIA PINFALL

Leurox: And Jordan Sharpe has done it!

Reeve: It looks like the key to success for Jordan is to be put in the ring with someone that's so obnoxious that he snaps and loses his patience.

Leurox: You might be onto something there, though I think Draco could draw that out of anyone.

Reeve: Yeah, I know what you mean. But for tonight, at least, Draco's playbook just led him to one Hell of a headache.

The cameras cut backstage as several Prime staffers run towards a commotion that has broken out. As the cameraman makes his way towards the center of the action we see ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love and Killjoy Ito arguing with a Prime official.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Now listen here, I don’t give a damn what Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir are doing right now, we didn’t fly our asses all the way over to Innsbruck to be handed over to some junior management flunky...so march your ass back into the GM’s office and tell them Tommy Love and Killjoy Ito are here to talk to them...NOW!!! Not later, not after the show and certainly not to have our concerns told to you so you can pass them on.

Prime Official: You are not scheduled to be here tonight, Killjoy isn’t booked so you CAN’T come busting in an expect our GM’s to just drop everything because you want to make a case for Killjoy Ito to receive the Prime spot in the Fatal Four-way TV Title match at Hardcore Revolution.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: The hell I can’t!

At that moment Prime’s Jenna Salvatore pushes her way to the front and looks at Tommy and then at the official and then back to Tommy.

Jenna Salvatore: I am here backstage with ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love and Killjoy Ito in what is a bit of an unexpected moment. Tommy may I ask what exactly you and Killjoy are doing here in Innsbruck, Austria on a night where you don’t have a match?

Tommy looks at Jenna in disgust.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: I understand your tiny little peabrain can’t see the big picture here tonight, just like this moron here who’s too busy worrying about tonight’s show and ignoring the fact that Prime #039 is the final show before EWC’s Hardcore Revolution and normally if we had the night off we would be home, saving ourselves the strain traveling takes on our bodied and allowing Killjoy some much needed R&R but this week it was announced that Prime would be apart of Hardcore Revolution it kicked everything into motion and made tonight the most important night in Prime because President Mac announced that someone from Prime would take part in the Fatal Four-way match for the EWC TV Title so we hopped a bird and flew here to make OUR case to be the one from Prime in that match.

Jenna Salvatore: Ok, well I’m sure everyone on this roster wants that spot.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Yeah I’m sure they do but only ONE deserves that spot and it’s this man.. .Killjoy Ito!!!!

Jenna Salvatore: Really and what--

But Tommy places his hand over her microphone cutting her off.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Common sense sweetheart, look at the damn facts here, this match is going to be made from some of the best the other brands have to offer and only ONE of the Prime roster has had success against the best from the other brands...and that’s Killjoy Ito. Do I need to remind you ALL of what went down at the Rumble in the Bronx?

Tommy looks at the Prime Official and then back to Jenna.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: Killjoy outlasted EVERYONE from Prime and placed 9th...9TH!!!! He qualified last week for the G1 beating one of the men in the Main Event here tonight. We need to put someone in that match that actually has a chance to bring the TV Title back here to Prime and I ask you...who else has had the success Killjoy has had?

Jenna Salvatore: Oh I don’t know, Stitches, El Pablo maybe Nevaeh...all former Indy Champions, something Killjoy can’t say.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: FUCK THAT!!!! Stitches and El Pablo were tossed out so damn early in the Rumble that they weren’t even factors and hell I didn’t even know Nevaeh was still active until last week, Killjoy is the 2nd ranked Prime wrestler behind our Undisputed and Indy Champion Candy in the October Rankings, we need to go with the hot hand and that is Killjoy Ito. This isn’t the time to mess around and send a scrub into that match Jenna and our GM’s need to understand that so I am here to make damn sure they make the right decision.

Jenna Salvatore: You mean the decision YOU want.

‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love: The decision that is BEST for Prime...now get the hell out of my way and tell our GMs Tommy Love is here to see them.

Tommy shoves his way past Jenna, the Prime Official and the other Prime employees as he marches his way with Killjoy Ito towards the offices of Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir.

MATCH 2
<<PRIME G1 QUALIFIER>>
---------

KRISTIAN BANE Vs
WALTER MELON
Live from the Asllan Rusi Sports Palace in Tirana, Albania
SATURDAY PRE-RECORDING

DING DING DING

After quite the heated exchange of promotional videos in the weeks leading up to their G1 Qualifier, the tension in the air was thick once Kristian Bane and Walter Melon were in the ring together. As soon as the bell rang, Kristian rushed Walter, using his size and strength advantage to drive his opponent into the nearest corner with clubbing forearms. What followed was a brief, but vulgar display of Bane’s power that was capped off by a big splash that shook the ring and left Melon in a crumpled heap on the mat. Kristian was quick to capitalize and attempt the pinfall, but Walter kicked out shortly before the two count, earning a frustrated noise from the bigger man.

The turning point of the bout wound up being the brief breather Walter was able to get when the referee forced Kristian to back off, though he didn’t show it at first.

Baited in by Melon playing possum and seeming unsteady on his feet, Bane went to the well once too often when he tried to bumrush his opponent again… only for Walter to suddenly come to life, darting out of the way just in time to leave Kristian nowhere to go but into the turnbuckle at full speed. That literal shift in momentum led to Walter taking control, the Fruit Ninja snagging the Bringer of Bane as he rebounded out of the corner to throw the larger man halfway across the ring with a release German Suplex! While Melon’s attempt to pin Bane after that also earned a two count, Bane was slower to get up when the referee forced the break. The moment Kristian gained a vertical base, Walter connected with Spitting Seeds, the Detonation kick dropping his opponent like a sack of potatoes. From there, it didn’t take long at all for Melon to mount the turnbuckle and connect with his Fruit Smash, both boots driving all the air out of Bane along with ending his chances at victory with the three-count that followed.

DING DING DING

WINNER: WALTER MELON VIA PINFALL

Leurox: And listen to those fans! They are not happy that Walter came out of this bout the winner.

Reeve: Would they have been happy if Bane won instead?

Leurox: Who knows for sure? I just know I don't want to be anywhere near Kristian when he comes to and realizes that his dreams of being in the G1 are over.

Reeve: Me neither, Eva. Me neither.

<<PRIME G1 QUALIFIER>>

JASON LAWRENCE Vs
CARLOS RUIZ
Live from the Peristeri Olympic Boxing Hall in Athens, Greece
SATURDAY PRE-RECORDING

DING DING DING

Carlos Ruiz made his return to the PRIME brand to very huge fanfare. And while everyone in the Peristeri Olympic Boxing Hall seemed excited to see the former EWC Tag Team champion, there was one man who was not. His opponent, Jason Lawrence, glowered at him apathetically on the opposite side of the ring. He even refused a customary handshake from Carlos. This Prime G1 Qualifier got underway as the two man traded holds. Both men are expert technicians and neither seemed to be able to keep each other down. The crowd seemed to turn the tide for the Spanish Luchador when he managed to catch the man with no determinable residence with a high impact crossbody after Lawrence reversed an Irish whip.

However, Carlos took too many risks and Lawrence seized control after a mistimed moonsault. Jason put his knees up and stuck Ruiz with the bill. At this time, Lawrence systemically zeroed in the Latino superstar’s knees. The intensity from the Greek crowd waned as Lawrence worked over his legs. Carlos battled out of the hold as his fans cheered him on - only to be tortured with a figure four leglock. Ruiz continued to persevere and reversed the hold eventually by turning the hold over!

The damage seemed to be done however and any momentum from Ruiz seemed to be cut off by the quick thinking reversals of Jason Lawrence - such as a quick snapping powerslam that nearly secured the victory. However, when Jason went for his Twist of Fate, Carlos pushed off the facelock. As Jason turned around, Carlos showed him his Spanish Eyes and secured his spot in the Prime G1!

DING DING DING

WINNER: CARLOS RUIZ VIA PINFALL

Leurox: And Carlos Ruiz has punched his ticket to the G1!

Reeve: It sure wasn't easy for him, though. Jason Lawrence made one Hell of an impression in his debut, making it obvious that he's got big things in his future.

Leurox: His attitude's.... not the greatest, but I've got to agree with you there. He's got talent to burn, but so does Carlos.

Reeve: And tonight, Carlos was the better man.

The camera cuts inside the Green Glens Arena about 20 mins before the doors are set to open for the sold out crowd for tonight’s show. Xavier walks down the hallway, which is lined with vendors selling everything from t-shirts to posters to giant foam fingers to vuvuzelas, with Nikki Dupree as the two take in their surroundings.

Xavier Reid: This is crazy...

Nikki Dupree: This is the indies Xavier, see you didn’t spend much time here when you first started off, you jumped right into the NWF but this...this is how many start off, on little shows like this so take it all in...this is what you wanted.

Xavier Reid: I wanted to be in the G1, this is just part of the bigger picture Nikki, I know you and Tlatoani think I’m crazy...that Villano wants to kill me for this but this is about history.

Nikki Dupree: And it has nothing to do with making sure El Pablo doesn’t become the first every Prime G1 winner?

She looks at Xavier who just looks straight ahead without answering her.

Xavier Reid: Speaking of Tlatoani he said he was coming over here early.

Nikki Dupree: That’s what his message said...he wanted to set up...THAT.

Nikki points up ahead to a booth where Tlatoani has set up basically the Volando Merchandise Stand, t-shirts, dvd’s, posters, masks...anything and everything they sell is set up ready to move to the people of Millstreet. Tlatoani folds one final shirt, Xavier’s new #WelcomeToTheIndies shirt. He places it on the others and then sees Xavier and Nikki and waves them over.

Tlatoani Volando: Hey...so...how’s it look.

Xavier looks down and picks up one of the masks...the El Pablo mask and looks down at it. Nikki looks close at the mask.

Nikki Dupress: Tlatoani, did you have El Pablo sign these?

Tlatoani Volando: Well he signed a bunch before we beat him up and buried him out in the desert but I use to sign his stuff even back in the day. I do a mean El Pablo signature as well as a passable Villano but my dad signs his own masks as does Chiquitita. Vertigo refuses to sign his masks but Verana signs them in a V just so we can charge a little extra on them.
Xavier drops the mask back down on the table next to the masks of his grandfather, Sr. Volando Jr and his great grandfather, Sr. Volando and looks over at his cousin.

Xavier Reid: And why are we selling all this?

Tlatoani looks at Xavier as if he doesn’t understand.

Tlatoani Volando: Because that’s what you do when you are on the indies.

Tlatoani looks over at Nikki and shakes his head as to say 'these guys'.

Xavier Reid: And Villano is making you do this?

Tlatoani Volando: NO...it’s what we do Xavier. Listen each person gets a cut of their merch sales...well other than El Pablo, haha! But if I sell a Vertigo mask he gets a cut because it’s his, I get a cut for making the sale, and then a cut goes to Villano and La Mazmorra. It’s a family business so the more merch you have the more you can make. And yeah your shirt is new so it will sell, but you might want to think about having more or selling something ‘Xavier Reid’ or you’re not going to make much from these shows. Do you have copyright on the Trinity stuff?

Xavier Reid: I’m not doing this to make a few bucks on the side Tlatoani...I don’t give a damn about the shirts and selling it to the people. I’m here to qualify for the G1.

Tlatoani Volando: And that’s fine...but if I’m going to be forced to tag along all over the world while you do this G1, then I’m going to try and make as much money as I can.

But before Xavier can continue, Nikki taps him on the shoulder as Jenna Salvatore walks up to them with her cameraman.

Jenna Salvatore: Excuse me Xavier, I was wondering if I could get a few words for tonight’s show?

Nikki smiles and nods.

Nikki Dupree: Of course you can...and you are?

Jenna Salvatore: I’m Jenna Salvatore...Prime’s official backstage interviewer. Have you not watched the show..?

Nikki Dupree: Me? No, never.

Tlatoani Volando: I have and I know who you are. Hello Jenna... I have to say you are way hotter in person.

Jenna looks a bit uncomfortable as she turns towards Xavier, extending her microphone in his direction.

Jenna Salvatore: Jenna Salvatore here with a Prime exclusive here tonight in Millstreet, Ireland as former FSW Champion Xavier Reid tries to qualify for the Prime G1 against top Prime contender Frankie Romono. Many think this could be one of the toughest challenges of your EWC career.

Xavier Reid: I’m sure Frankie Romono is a tough competitor. He’s been right in the hunt for the Indy Championship for the last several months, but each and every time he falls flat. He fails to get the job done and bring home the championship. Now this isn’t me trying to run the guy down...it’s fact. He’s part of a collection that Prime has on their roster who just can’t get over the champion. Frankie...Stitches...Killjoy...El Pablo... how many times do we need to see them face off against Candy and fail before we stop and try something new? To put someone new in that match?

Jenna Salvatore: Someone like you?

Xavier smiles at Jenna.

Xavier Reid: I’m a former FSW Champion who is right in the hunt for that championship again...would that not be a match that would fill up any arena in the world if it was made? Xavier Reid verse Candy for the Indy Championship...but I didn’t come in here demanding anything. I called up Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir and ask for a chance...A CHANCE...no special treatment...just a chance to earn my shot...my place in the G1. I flew over to Ireland for that chance. I could have said ‘hey, if you want Xavier Reid it’s going to cost you,' demanded more pay or special accommodations. I could have requested that Nikki and Tlatoani’s flights and rooms been paid for...but I didn’t. I am paying their way. I could have been insulted what they booked me against someone like Frankie Romono yet here I stand welcoming the challenge here tonight. I want to prove that...what did you call him?

Tlatoani Volando: A top Prime contender.

Xavier Reid: Thank you. I want to prove that a top Prime contender is no match for Xavier Reid and that this G1 is my own personal march towards Candy and that Indy Championship.

Jenna Salvatore: And this has nothing to do with your brother El Pablo...because many believe this is you trying to make sure he doesn’t win the Prime G1 and make history here in the EWC--

Xavier Reid: Or maybe this is just the moment where I rid the wrestling world of the flying squirrel once and for all. I watched last week as he qualified for the Prime G1 but my mind to enter the G1 was made up long before he won...before he was even booked for a chance to qualify. See for far too long by big brother did all he could to avoid me. He didn’t want to stand across from me but tonight, after I beat Frankie Romono I’m going to beg...BEG Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir to put me and El Pablo in the same block. I do not want to leave it to chance that he can win his block to face me in the finals. No...I want him in block play. I want to force him to stand across for me once and for all to see who’s the best. For years, that fire has burned inside me and he’s refused... so brother? I came for you...and Frankie Romono isn’t going to stand in my way of finally getting my match because he’s just a walk on, back scene filler in this story. He's just the man I have to beat to get to you. So tonight Frankie can come to that ring all ready to go but his role has already been cast. He’s the man I beat to get to El Pablo... so to the three Frankie Romono fans out there I say tune in to Brawl Monday night and hope he has a better showing against Happy because tonight Xavier Reid goes right through him like every other champion has in the past.

Jenna looks at Xavier as he turns away from her and looks down at the El Pablo mask one last time before walking away from the Volando Merchandise Stand. Tlatoani reaches out and picks up one of his yellow and black mask and hands it to Jenna.

Tlatoani Volando: Here...it’s on the house.

Jenna looks at the mask and turns and walks away, leaving the mask still in Tlatoani’s hands as the Millstreet fans pour into the Green Glens Arena.

Tlatoani Volando: Ladies and gentlemen, come one and come all...I have ALL the Volando Merchandise seen on our website here and now...no wait! No shipping fee!

The fans flock the stand as Tlatoani starts to make some deals.

MATCH 4
<<PRIME G1 QUALIFIER>>
---------

FRANKIE ROMONO Vs
XAVIER REID
Live from the Green Glens Arena in Millstreet, Ireland
FRIDAY PRE-RECORDING

DING DING DING

Frankie Romono looked to play spoiler in Ireland this past Friday to claim this week’s last spot into the Prime G1. The long time Future Stars of Wrestling champion made this trip for the Prime brand for just that. Xavier looked to shake hands with the Psycho Killer and Frankie’s response was a brief chuckle. Reid noted that refusal and began by out wrestling Frankie. Arm drags. Headlock takeovers. Various holds to keep Frankie on the mat and getting more and more frustrated as the evening continued. In fact, that frustration nearly cost Romono as Reid used all of that momentum to deliver and X-Cution to the Italian thug.

However, it was just a two count. When Reid tried to start the X-Tinction combo, Frankie jabbed a thumb into his eye and went to town on the former International Champion. He reigned down kicks onto the back of Reid’s neck much to the chagrin of the Irish audience. He thumbed his nose at him and hit an Air Raid Crash on the apron. He then sat in the middle of the ring and demanded that the official count Reid. Xavier made it back to the ring with one second to spare And Frankie intended to make him pay for it. He hit a running knee to the back of the head for another two count. Reid’s prospects in this match didn’t look too bright as Frankie locked in Fujiwara armbar in an attempt to dislocate Reid’s shoulder out of its socket.

With a great struggle and indomitable determination, Reid forced a rope break.

The damage seemed to be done as Frankie laid out Xavier with the RomonoBomb. For a two count - with the rope once again making the save. Frankie dragged Xavier to the middle of the ring, lifted Reid into the air for a second RomonoBomb only for Reid to X him with his triangle choke. Frankie was stubborn - but he had nowhere to go. The referee called for the bell when Frankie passed out in the Reid’s triangle choke.

DING DING DING

WINNER: XAVIER REID VIA SUBMISSION

Leurox: And it looks like Xavier Reid gets his wish!

Reeve: Part of it, anyway. It'll be up to the grouping as to whether or not he gets put in the same round robin as El Pablo.

Leurox: If that happens... but we shouldn't forget about Frankie Romono here, either. Even if he wasn't successful, he's showing more and more heart as the weeks go by.

Reeve: I couldn't agree more. Once he finds his stride proper, he'll be darn hard to beat.

The camera cuts to the shared office of Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir. Marshall can be seen pacing idly back and forth in the background, his iPhone to his ear as he speaks in Japanese to whoever is on the other end. Hayley, on the other hand, immediately notices the camera, offering up a dazzling smile as she begins to speak.

Kushnir: Good evening! By now, I'm sure you all have seen the card for Hardcore Revolution... and it's stacked from top to bottom. Of course, you should expect nothing less from the EWC. Isn't that right, everyone?

The crowd can faintly be heard cheering as Hayley nods.

Kushnir: Right! As it turns out, though, Marshall's not the only one with an announcement to make. He doesn't get to hog all of the fun to himself.

Pausing in his pacing behind his business partner, Evans raises his free hand to finger-guns at the camera. Hayley chuckles to herself, waving him off idly.

Kushnir: Now, as it stands right now, there are two vacancies on the card for Hardcore Revolution that need Prime competitors to step into them. The victor in our main event of the evening will fill one of them, facing Candy for the Indy Championship. But what about the representative of our brand to go into the Television Championship match? After a lot of discussion, Marshall and I narrowed it down to two competitors that we felt had made major enough moves to deserve the opportunity.

The smile on Hayley's face shifts into a less-than-impressed expression at the memory of what she says next.

Kushnir: We WERE considering Killjoy Ito as one of them, but then his manager thought that he had the right to march in here and tell us what to do like he owned the place. Specifically, tell ME what to do since Marshall wasn't in the office at the time. Needless to say, it... didn't go over well.

Once again, Marshall pauses in his pacing, placing his hand over the receiver of his phone as he mouths 'He done goofed.' at the camera.

Kushnir: Frankly, if it wasn't for how I want to give Jonty Kelly the chance to right the wrong perpetrated by Tommy Love during his G-1 qualifier, I would have been tempted to fire him and his client both. Instead, I decided that the best punishment was to go with our other option, an option who doesn't have a manager that loves to stick his nose where it's not welcome.

Kushnir holds up her right hand, palm facing the camera, as if to interrupt someone protesting.

Kushnir: And before anyone says anything, I want to make one thing perfectly clear; the representative going into the Television Championship has earned it by his own merits. His own violent, violent merits. Ladies and gentlemen, the wrestler that will be going into Hardcore Revolution with the chance to bring a SECOND title to Prime is none other than Stitches!

There's a mixed reaction from the fans at that... cheers from the die-hard Prime fans, and jeers from those that are even more terrified of clowns thanks to the one in question. Hayley smiles anew.

Kushnir: We have full faith that Stitches will bring the TV Title to where it belongs, right her on Prime. Now please, everyone... sit back and enjoy the main event, because Aeon Khronos and Jonty Kelly's big opportunity comes up next!

Marshall and Hayley both wave at the camera before the scene fades to commercial.

SINGLES MATCH
<<NUMBER ONE CONTENDER'S MATCH
FOR THE INDY CHAMPIONSHIP>>

JONTY KELLY Vs
AEON KHRONOS
Live from the Tiroler Wasserkraft Arena in Innsbruck, Austria

Leurox: It’s time for tonight’s main event, and it’s for quite the prize.

Reeve: Yes indeed. Both Khronos and Kelly put up good fights two weeks ago, but they clearly impressed the general managers, as they now have an opportunity to win two prizes in one match.

Leurox: Candy has made her intention to defend the Indy Championship during the G1 clear, and PRIME management has decided that the winner of this match will get the next opportunity at that title.

Reeve: And in case it isn't clear, this means that not only does the winner of this match get a shot at the Indy Championship at Hardcore Revolution if they win, but they also win their way back into the G1.

Following the discussion of the G1 implications, the camera cuts to the ring where Damon Reed is waiting.

Damon Reed: The following contest is our main event, and it is scheduled for one fall!

The chiming of clocks and gears fills the arena as the crowd begins booing the arrival of The Time Wizard himself…. and when he emerges with a swagger to his step and the Prime Briefcase in hand? Those jeers only get louder.

Damon Reed: Introducing first, hailing from The Edge of Time Itself, weighing in at around 180 pounds, he is the Master of Time…Aeon Khronos!

The fans continue booing, but Aeon pays them no mind as he makes his way to the ring, sliding in with a smirk on his face. Making his way over to his corner, Khronos hands the Prime Briefcase to a production assistant with a comment that the cameras don’t quite pick up, but that makes the P.A. frown in disapproval.

Leurox: Don’t let that arrogant bearing fool you, everyone… Aeon has got to be steaming inside over not making it into the G1 on the last episode of Prime.

Reeve: He can’t be that upset, though. Not when that failure led him to this opportunity. Who knows? Maybe he lost on purpose just so he’d wind up here.

The sound of a bullet being fired echoes through the arena, before Heavy is the Head begins to play. Smoke begins to fill the top of the entrance ramp. Eventually, Kelly bursts through the smoke, wearing a mouth mask with a bullet between teeth design on it. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp, makes a two finger gun on each hand and fires a shot into the crowd on either side of him. As he does so, pyro goes off on either side of him

Damon Reed: His opponent, from Melbourne, Australia, he weighs in at 225 pounds, he is The Lethal Weapon.....Jonty Kelly!

After making his way down the entrance ramp, Kelly enters the ring and immediately jumps on a turnbuckle and poses, holding up four fingers in his right hand and a two finger gun pointed downward in his left hand. Kelly then climbs down and takes off his mouth mask, ready to fight.

Leurox: After the disappointing events of his match against Killjoy Ito… no, they weren’t disappointing. They were infuriating. Tommy Love screwed Jonty Kelly out of his shot at the G1, and he is understandably angry about it.

Reeve: He better put that anger aside if he wants to be successful tonight, because Aeon will take full advantage of it. Either that, or Jonty needs to turn that anger into motivation and use it.

The official, Niklaus Forbes, ensures that both Jonty and Khronos are in their corners and ready to start. As soon as he is assured, he signals for the bell.

DING DING DING

The bell sound spurs both men into action, and they circle each other to start. Kelly keeps an eyebrow raised, as his size advantage seems to him to make this opening gambit foolish for Khronos. This doesn’t prevent Khronos from coming forward and signaling that he wants to do the collar-and-elbow tie-up. Kelly shrugs and raises his arms to come forward, but Khronos ducks under them, grabbing Kelly in a rear waistlock. He heaves up on Kelly, trying to lift him for a takedown, but Kelly shakes his legs and keeps a vertical alignment until he can get back on his feet. Kelly grabs at Khronos’s arms and tries to pry them apart. As soon as it becomes evident that he can’t hold his grip anymore, Khronos shoves Kelly forward. Kelly shoots forward a few steps, then turns around and charges at Khronos with a clothesline attempt, but Khronos ducks this as well, whipping Khronos over in a deep arm drag. He sticks with this and wrenches on the arm with a seated armbar. Kelly struggles to get out of it, and though it’s much too early for him to succumb to such a hold, it’s still draining to have his arm wrenched like this.

Leurox: What an exchange to get this started! It’s obvious that Aeon’s got Jonty well-scouted here.

Reeve: That he does, Eva… and Kelly’s got to get out of that hold as fast as he can. If he doesn’t, then that arm’s going to be his downfall later.

After a few moments of enduring this, Kelly twists his way out enough to get to his knees. Khronos tries to keep his arm in an uncomfortable angle, but Kelly is able to push himself up to his feet, and though he is still stooped over, he starts nailing Khronos in the stomach with his free arm, and after a few body shots, Khronos is forced to release him. As soon as he is free, Kelly barrels out of Khronos’ grasp and into the ropes for momentum. As he comes back, Khronos tries for a back body drop as Kelly ducks to do a spear of some kind. Kelly is able to save his momentum as, rather than just barrel forward in the spear, he’s able to jump up a bit and contort himself in midair to improvise a sunset flip! Forbes is barely able to comprehend what happened, but he rushes in to count!

1...

2...

No! Khronos gets a shoulder up just before the three count!

Leurox: And just like that, it’s Jonty’s turn to remind Aeon of just who he’s dealing with!

Reeve: Jonty’s a threat in that ring, and it looks like he’s just caught the all-seeing Master of Time off-guard!

In his great surprise and slight panic, Khronos kicked out as hard as he could, rolling backwards out of the pinning attempt but also giving Kelly the chance to continue building momentum. Khronos nearly rolls himself out of the ring until he’s laying on the apron while Kelly gets to his feet. Khronos is quick to pull himself up on the apron, but Kelly is waiting with a stiff right hand. This causes Khronos to reel, but not hard enough to fall off the apron. Kelly frowns, then backs up a step before blasting forward, attempting to send the Time Traveler for a nasty fall. Aeon sidesteps and Jonty Kelly goes through the second and third ropes. Caught in limbo, the Aussie star gets a knee lift to the sternum that sends him tumbling out of the ring.

Leurox: Yikes, Jonty’s gonna feel that in the morning!

Reeve: And just like that, Aeon’s back in control. Maybe he really can see five gazillion moves ahead after all!

As the official begins to count out the wrestlers, Aeon takes full advantage of the 10 count. He whips Jonty shoulder first into the steel steps. Methodically, he kicks and prods at Jonty before finally rolling him back into the ring just one second before the count out. Khronos ignores the jeers elicited from this Austrian audience. He drags Jonty to his feet, another knee lift to the sternum, and then a quick violent snap suplex. He doesn’t let go, He spins back up a standing position and hooks Jonty’s leg up. The ring shakes from the impact of Aeon Khrono’s Quantum Driver!

1…

2…

Jonty Kelly just barely escapes the pinning predicament.

Leurox: The crowd seems to be getting behind Jonty again this week, and it’s easy to see why. For all of his ego, the man’s got resilience in spades!

Reeve: Well, that and he’s undeniably good at what he does. Aeon’s gonna have to pull out the stops even further if he wants to come out the winner here, and I think he’s realizing it.

Khronos pushes away his prey. He circles him, kicking at him. There is an arrogance that permeates his expression as he asserts his perceived total control in this bout. Kelly gets to his feet, swings wildly at Aeon and gets a stiff kick to the gut for his troubles. He underhooks both arms and wants the Time Warp. Jonty struggles and drops to his knees. Aeon releases one of his arms and clubs him over the back repeatedly. He rehooks the over arm but Jonty’s resistance persists. He gets under Aeon and backdrops him. Aeon lands on his knee and wraps his arms around Jonty for a waistlock, lifting him in the air for a german suplex, but Kelly elbows out of it and drops to his feet. Aeon staggers back, shakes it off, and goes for a lariat, Jonty ducks and then levels Aeon out of nowhere with the JK47! After that surprise kick, he collapses on top of Khronos for the cover!

DING DING DING

Damon Reed: The winner of the match via pinfall, JONTY KELLY!

Leurox: Jonty Kelly is on his way to Hardcore Revolution!

Reeve: After the problems he had last show, this has got to be a major boost to his confidence. The question is... how will he fare against the first double champion to ever grace Prime's roster in Candy?

Leurox: He's got his work cut out for him, that much is for sure. And on that note, it's time for our show to come to a close.

Reeve: Have a good night, everyone!

Before the show goes off the air, the cameras cut backstage again to the Volando Merchandise Stand, where we find Tlatoani closing up a full box of his own lucha masks. He sighs.

??: How's business, kiddo?

Tlatoani shrugs, too busy packing to pay attention to the elderly, pink-suited luchador behind him.

Tlatoani: Pretty good! Pretty good. The new Reid shirts were like hot cakes; got a few Vertigo masks out there...I think people must not've seen how cherry the Tlatoani masks are coz...you know...but, hey, we sold out of El Pablo stuff, and the margin on that stuff is real bank right now!

??: Glad to hear it! I was never much of a businessman myself, you know...that was more my son's game. Anyway, I just wanted to pop by and show you something.

Tlatoani: Sorry gramps; I don't do refunds.

??: No no, not a refund; just something to help keep the Familia business going.

Finally, Tlatoani turns around, his eyes immediately falling upon an original Señor Volando mask, laid on the counter of the stand with the legendary luchador's signature scrawled across the cheek. Tlatoani lifts his gaze to find that same luchador - his late great-grandfather and founder of the Volando Dynasty - staring at him with a smile upon his masked face.

Sr. Volando: I'll see you around, Tlatoani...for my cut.

With that, the elder Volando turns and walks off-screen. Tlatoani stands still, confused, for several moments, before realization dawns and all color appears to drain from the visible portions of his masked face.

Tlatoani: Xavier...XAVIER!!!

Tlatoani turns and flees, in desperate search of Xavier Reid.
