We cut to the parking lot/loading dock as a Rolls-Royce Phantom is rolling in.
Carter: Who could this be? Dominic Sanders? Maybe Yeshwa?
The door flings open and it's Maniac Mondo! He's sporting a salmon colored polo with acid wash jeans. He pushes past a crowd of fans and walks through the back entrance to the locker rooms.
Bennett: Not in a million years did I think that nutjob would get out out of car like that.
We cut back to ringside.
We open up In the parking garage. A limo with tinted windows pulls in. We see the door open and a pair of shoes begin to step out.It is The Collector. He is alone. He draws his phone from inside of his pocket and looks at it for a moment, and then glances into the camera. His face is worn and wrinkled, hair all over the place.
The Collector: No...Comment.
He briskly walks out of frame and out of sight.

X-DIVISION MATCH
(#1 Contender for the X-Division Championship)
Damage
VS Darius
VS Darius
Aiello: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first match on Brawl since Stranglemania!
Bennett: And the first is sure to be bloody! I can’t wait!
Carter: They were teammates at Stranglemania, now they compete to determine the new number one contender for the X-Division Championship! Damage vs Darius; That match happens now!
As “DAMAGE” by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion hits all lights go flickering like its lightning in different colors to the following lyrics:
Get out yer calculator, slide rule
No matter which way you fold or bend; turn
Well, you never gonna top us
You never gonna beat us...
Can ya dig my band?
Damage makes his way out when the guitar plays. He is seen wearing a black tank top with "DAMAGE" printed below his chest on the tank top along with long black leather pants and a black leather sleeveless jacket over his tank top with the black coolers for his eyes. He walks slowly down the ramp as the lyrics go:
Ungh!
Come on! (The Blues Explosion)
Damage! (Git down...)
What it isn't?
Damage!
That's right! (The Blues Explosion)
Takin' orders from a higher power...
Ladies & gentlemen, I got that bad feelin'
But right now, owoooh...
We gonna feel so good...
Please'ah, please'ah, a'feel good; and break it down!
Ungh!
Damage! (Git down...)
At's right!
At's right, 'cuz we're so good lookin'!
Damage!
Damage doesn’t shake the viewers' hands who try to reach their hands towards him. He is focused. He climbs up the steps and looks the people around the arena as he walks to the center of the apron. He slowly turns his attention to the center of the ring as he presses the top rope down and gets inside the ring by stepping over the rope. He walks to the center of the ring.
Stroup: Introducing first... From Detroit, Michigan, weighing at 326 pounds and standing at 7 feet tall... he is the Untamed Demon, DAAAAAMAAAAAAGEEEEEE!
C'mon... (The Blues Explosion)
Damage!
Get out da way!
With yer elegant 2...
Damage!
C'mon Detroit, 'cuz the blues is still #1, now!
Damage!
Damage!
Damage!
Damage!
Damage!
Damage!
Damage!
Damage raises both hands as pyro goes out from all four turnbuckles.
Aiello: The Untamed Demon seems ready to go! Team Brawl may have only pulled off a draw at Stranglemania, but we sure did look strong and I think Damage played a big part in that!
Bennett: Hey now, don’t down play our team captain! Darius lead the team and because of that, we didn’t lose!
Carter: Yeah but we didn’t win either?
The lights start flashing red and white as a distorted voice & instrumentals start to play from the sound system. Right as the opening chords begin, the lights go dark …
Stroup: Making his way his way to the stage, from Albany New York, weighing in at 245 lbs … Darius!
Loud pyro with white flames shoot from the stage ...
“Collapse, collapse!”
Darius sprints out onto the stage wearing a long, black trench coat over his gear & a black beanie to keep his hair back. He jogs to each side of the stage, taunting the crowd with rude gestures & faces, & then sprints down the ramp towards the ring, sliding underneath the bottom rope then jumping to his feet with his arms held high in the air, rocking the devil horns.
Aiello: “Captain” Darius isn’t taking his eyes off from Damage.
Bennett: I don’t blame him; Damage has attacked him for no reason twice now but Darius has been the bigger man and didn’t stoop to his level!
Carter: You could cut the tension with a knife … This is going to be a battle.
DING DING DING
As the bell sounds, Damage charges at Darius with a full head of steam, but Darius is quick to side step out of the way. Damage stops himself at the turnbuckle, but before he is able to turn around, Darius brings his foot up between Damage’s legs from behind, kicking him straight in the groin!
Damage falls back, clutching at the family jewels, as Darius quickly climbs out of the ring and flips up the apron, pulling various objects from underneath the ring. He then grabs hold of two chairs and slides into the ring with them, sliding one of them under the back of Damage’s head. Darius stays on one knee above Damage, laughing loudly in his face and begins to yell;
Darius: I TOLD YOU, DAMAGED GOODS … YOU WOULD PAY F-
Before Darius is able to finish his statement, Damage’s hand shoots up, grabbing Darius by the throat. Darius slams away at Damage’s arms with his fist, but Damage sits up, seething at Darius with hatred in his eyes.
Damage gets to his feet with Darius still in his hand. Damage then lifts Darius up for a chokeslam, but Darius slips from his grip in the air and then tumbles out of the ring quickly.
Aiello: I think your boy made a HUGE mistake.
Bennett: What, no he didn't! He is getting into Damage’s head!
Damage climbs over the top rope and drops down to the floor with Darius, but Darius cracks a kendo stick over Damage’s shoulder, snapping the stick in half and leaving Damage nearly unphased! Darius’ eyes grow wide for a moment, but then Damage clears him down to the mat with a stiff clothesline!
Damage mounts himself over Darius and reaches under the ring, pulling a screwdriver from underneath it! Damage then pushes the screwdriver against Darius’ forehead and begins to dig into the skin as Darius’ howls out in pain, blood beginning to pour from the wound almost instantly.
Damage then tosses the screwdriver to the side and starts to drive his fist into the wound over and over again, opening the wound wider and letting the blood flow more freely. Damage then stands to his feet, picking Darius up with him, before grabbing Darius by the hair with one hand, by the tights with the other, and hurling him head first into the steel steps!
Aiello: Darius is getting absolutely massacred.
Carter: Is it too early to call the match!? I fear for this safety to be completely honest.
Damage starts laughing at Darius, slowly pacing around him as Darius tries to pull himself to his feet. Darius pushes the top step off from the bottom step and falls flat onto it, making Damage laugh even louder. Damage reaches into the ring and pulls out one of the chairs, then looks to Darius, raises the chair high above his head and goes to swing down …
But before he is able to, Darius flips over and blasts Damage in the face with pepper spray! Damage drops the chair as he screams, rubbing his eyes viciously trying to clear the pepper spray away. Darius grabs the chair and uses it as a crutch to help himself up, and then swings wildly at Damage’s head, cracking the chair against Damage’s skull with a sickening crack!
Damage doesn’t fall however, and this just angers Darius more. Darius delivers a second shot, and then a third, but the big man still doesn’t drop. After the fourth and hardest shot, Damage finally topples over and drops to the floor. Darius leans against the barricade, wiping the blood away from his eyes as Damage lays still on the floor.
Bennett: Atta’ boy! Show that big son of a bitch who the king of extreme is!
Aiello: Any other man would have went down after the first shot, Damage is a monster!
Darius pushes himself off of the barricade and throws the chair down at Damage, then drops to a knee and starts to search under the ring once again. This time Darius pulls out a t-handle meat hook from under the ring, his focus then turning to Damage.
Darius pulls himself to his feet once more, then kneels over Damage’s back, one hand pulling Damage’s head up by his hair, the other positioning the hook in front of Damage’s forehead. Darius lets out a barbaric scream and attempts to jab the hook into Damage’s mouth, but Damage throws Darius off from his back and then pulls himself up with the apron.
Both men get back to their feet, Darius with the hook still in his hand and Damage now wielding a steel chair. Darius runs at Damage and swings with the hook, but Damage uses the chair as a shield! Darius swings again but Damage deflects the blow once more. Darius then swings at Damage’s face with his free hand, which Damage blocks, but Darius uses the opportunity to swing the hook at Damage’s midsection, grazing his abdomen and slicing it open a bit with the hook!
Aiello: Good god almighty! One inch closer and he would have gutted him like a fish!
Carter: This is getting out of hand quickly! Someone stop this!
Damage stumbles back a bit, leading to Darius attempting another swing at Damage’s head with the hook, but Damage retaliates with a big boot, planting it right into the middle of Darius’ chest and sending him flying back into the steps once more!
Damage then runs forward and drives his knee into Darius’ skull, crushing it between the knee and steel steps! Darius slumps over onto his side, then Damage grabs him by the legs, pulls him back, and covers for the win;
1!
2!
No!
Darius manages to get the shoulder up but Damage wastes no time; Damage grabs the broken kendo stick and stabs the broken end into the wound on Darius’ forehead, leaving multiple splinters in the wound and around it. Darius rolls around on the ground, trying to pull the slivers out, but Damage then goes to stomp Darius on the back of the neck ...
Carter: Oh my god; he’s going to try to end Darius!
Bennett: Oh come on! Someone stop this guy!
But Darius manages to roll out of the way! Before Damage is able to retaliate, Darius picks up the steel chair and rams it into the throat of Damage hard! Damage falls back, holding his throat and coughing up blood. Darius then crawls underneath the ring and out of sight of the camera …
Carter: Where the hell did he go?
For a few moments, Darius is nowhere to be seen. Damage takes the opportunity to catch his breath, but then gets down to his knees and looks underneath the ring. For a moment, it seems that he is unable to find Darius, but then out of nowhere a quick burst of flame comes shooting from underneath the ring and into Damage’s face!
Damage rolls around on the floor, putting out the flames that have set his hair on fire, as Darius crawls out from under the ring with a lighter, a can of air freshener, and a sadistic smile on his bloodied face. Darius then drops the can and pulls a chain out from under the ring with him, slowly stalking Damage as he brings himself to a knee.
Darius then gets behind Damage and wraps the chain around his throat, pulling back hard, and then bringing him down to the floor, squeezing the life out of him. As Damage starts to turn blue, Darius releases the chain and gets back to his feet, looking to the steel steps Damage tossed him into earlier.
Darius then looks under the ring one final time, pulling out a can of lighter fluid, using it to douse the steps in the fluid, and then uses the lighter in his hand to ignite it, engulfing the steps in flames! Darius then drops the items and stalks Damage as he gets to his feet, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. As soon as Damage is too his feet, Darius runs full speed and connects with The Hunter’s Mark, spearing Damage flat on his back onto the flaming steps! Both men roll away from the flames, but Darius is quick to dive onto Damage and hook the legs!
1!
2!
3!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here is your winner and the number one contender for the X-Division Championship … Darius!
Aiello: What an absolute mess! Was that even legal to air!?
Bennett: I don’t know but that was fucking awesome! That is what EWC is all about, baby!
Carter: Both of these men destroyed each other but in the end, Darius is standing tall, blood and all! Congratulations Darius!
We move to a commercial break.
Backstage, We see Antoni Malietoa arriving to the arena in street clothes, a small suitcase in tow. Brian Spades walks up to Antoni with a microphone, looking for a comment
Brian Spades: Antoni, it has been a very tumultuous few weeks for you and the rest of Criterion. Would you like to comment?
Antoni stops and looks to the camera, then back to Spades.
Antoni: First of all Spades, like i said and like my brothers have said...Criterion is no more. The Collector stepped over the line and after we beat the Shieldmaidens at StrangleMania we all decided that we were going our own way for now.
Spades: Right, but you have to admit that this whole thing was silly. I mean, you were going to compete no matter what, right?
Antoni: I don't break commitments that I have made to wrestle and until I saw The Wanderlust King of Lucha Libre and the Maniac come from other sides of the audience, I thought they might back out. They didn't, because they have my back and I have theirs. We may be going separate ways, but someday one of us might need some numbers and when that day comes, The Great Warrior will be there for his Ohana (family).
Spades: Now what about tonight? You're in the Main Event where you will be part of a gauntlet match. Whomever wins it has to then fight Cyrus and if they can get through him, they will get to wrestle another match against Iggy Swango for the International title.
Antoni takes a moment to collect his thoughts before commenting.
Antoni: Sounds like it's impossible, doesn't it? Who could possibly run that gauntlet, wrestle potentially four matches just to then wrestle Cyrus to then go on and wrestle a sixth match against Iggy?
Silence.
Antoni: I can, that's who. Tonight I am going to show you all exactly why I was brought to EWC and I am going to show you why I am The Samoan Warrior. Tonight, I restore my bloodline's honor. There's a lot of great talent in this match. Tom Frost is an up and comer, but rough. Cyrus is a decorated veteran and Iggy is an impressive wrestler. Tonight you are all going to see who wants it bad enough because I want it so bad I'm willing to put my body and mind through hell just to get there.
Spades: You can't be serious...
Antoni: Tonight I fight with the thoughts and spirit of my brothers with me. Because when you fight one of us... You fight all of us!
Antoni walks away from Brian Spades as Spades is standing with a look of disbelief on his face.
FATAL FOURWAY MATCH
Greg Samuel
VS Emma Louise
VS Maniac Mondo
VS Xavier Reid
VS Emma Louise
VS Maniac Mondo
VS Xavier Reid
Aiello: Let’s get our second matchup of the evening, we’ve got a fatal four way on our hands!
Carter: Ohhhh this ones gonna be good!
Stroup: Our next contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a fatal four way match up, coming down to the ring first, wrestling out of Austin, Texas, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is “The Maine Attraction” GREG… SAMMUELLL
The main riff of ‘Mean Demeanor by Run the Jewels hits, and without skipping a beat, Greg Samuel breaks out onto the stage. Immediately, the crowd boos the arrogant wrestler. Samuel bounces from foot to foot, as he snarls at the EWC fans. Samuel wears him signature black tights with a green “GS’ sitting on his left hip. The tights extend down beneath his black kneepads, which connect to his black kick pads. The only differentiations in color in his attire are his green elbow pad on his right elbow, and the gray sleeveless sweatshirt that he wears to the ring.
Samuel’s nose twitches with disdain after hearing his name announced. He begins his way down the ramp, with a wide, cowboy-esque gate as he is showered in disapproval by the fans. Unsurprisingly, Samuel doesn’t care, he keeps his attention focused on the ring. Upon reaching the bottom of the ramp, Samuel turns to the ring steps. In turning, he notices a fan who is particularly passionate in his disdain for “The Maine Attraction.” The technical wrestler stops and looks at the fan for a moment, with disgust in his face. He then rolls his eyes and turns his back on the fan, stomping up the ring steps. Samuel stands on the ring apron for a moment, gaze fixed on the referee. After a few moments of nothing, Samuel barks at the referee, who is jumped. Samuel snaps a point down to the ropes, conveying his expectation to have the ring ropes opened for him. The referee begrudgingly obliges. This pompous display earns no love from the vocal fans in attendance. Upon arrival in the ring, Samuel darts into the corner, pulling off his sweatshirt and dropping it at ringside. He then grabs the top rope with both arms and pulls, limbering up for the math ahead as “Mean Demeanor” fades out.
Aiello: FSWs own Greg Samuel making his way to the ring here.
Carter: Greg came up short in the battle royal at stranglemania, he’ll be looking to fair better here.
Stroup: Next, making her way to the ring weighing in at Several punds of girly goodness, and hailing from London, England.... EMMA LOUISE!
"Neo Geo' plays and Emma dances through the curtain. She waves to the crowd and then walks, half dancing to the ring, waving to the crowd as she goes before slipping feet first through the ropes like an envelope before laying suggestvly over the top rope.
Carter: This is Emma Louise’s last match as a Brawl superstar as she leaves us for the FSW brand.
Bennett: Boo! Pack her bags and don’t let the door hit her ass on the way out!
Stroup: Now making his way to the ring, from The House on the Edge of the Park he’s standing at an impressive 6’10 and weighing in tonight at an astonishing 344lbs...THIS IS MANIAC MOOONNDDOO
Tears of Blood by Biohazard hits and Maniac Mondo comes marching from behind the curtain. He circles the ring, climbs to the apron, and enters over the top rope. As the lyrics kick in, Mondo climbs to the second rope and intimidates the audience.
Aiello: Maniac Mondo is looking to branch out on his own after the collector seemingly disappeared on him.
Carter: Look at the size of this guy, he doesn’t need anyone watching his back.
Stroup: Now making his way down to the ring, weighing in at 220 pounds and residing in New York City.... XAVVVIIIEEERRRR REID!
The jumbo screen flickers and the picture of a sky appears on the eve of a storm, the clouds are dark and rolling across the sky quickly and with aggression. The lights inside the arena start to dim, the rumbling of a storm can be heard over the speakers as lighting appears in the clouds. The cracking of lighting grows louder and louder until two strikes hit the stage. First from the right and then from the left as ‘Papercut’ starts to play Smoke rises up from where the lightning hit stage as Xavier Reid walks out onto the stage, his arms crossed in a X over his chest as he stands at the top of the stage and looks out towards the ring. The fans have a mix reaction as he starts to walk towards the ring, shadow boxing as he does so ignoring the fans until he reaches ringside. Xavier bounces up and down while looking at the ground and then looks up and smirks as he heads towards the steps and slams his foot down on each step as he marches up the steps and jumps into the ring and heads right to far corner and climbs to the middle rope and tosses his arms into the air and crosses them into a X as he looks out over the crowd.
Aiello: Xavier Reid came so close to becoming the EWC world champion at Stranglemania. Now he’s looking to get back on track here tonight.
Carter: I wonder if Xavier is one hundred percent tonight m, because that was one a brutal hell in a cell match he went through last week!
DING DING DING
As soon as the bell rings Xavier grabs Samuel and starts pounding him with vicious knee strikes. Mondo runs at Emma Louise, she bends down at the last second and pulls the top rope down as Mondo goes crashing to the outside. Emma Louise wastes no time as she climbs the top rope and does a moonsault to the outside on top of Mondo.
Carter: Emma Louise looking to pull out all the stops in his last match here on Brawl!
Inside the ring Samuel tries to get back in control with a snap DDT to Xavier but Xavier reverses the move hitting Samuel with the X-Ploder. Xavier picks Samuel up and whips him into the corner. On the outside Emma Louise jumps up on the ring apron and then she raises her arms as the fans cheer her. She jumps from the apron towards Mondo as he gets up but he catches her in mid-air and slams her hard on the outside with a power slam. Inside the ring Xavier has Samuel on the top, he lifts Samuel and hits him with a top rope X-Odus! Xavier immediately gets up but instead of pinning Samuel, he runs off the ropes and cartwheels to the other side of the ring and jumps out of the ring hitting Mondo with a X-Treme Air! Mondo crumples to the floor as Xavier gets up and bangs on the ring apron, holding his side as he does. The fans are going crazy and cheering.
Aiello: Xavier Reid pulling out all the stops!
Bennett: Xavier looks hurt but, still feeling the affects of the Hell in a Cell match.
Xavier rolls in the ring still holding his side as Samuel is slowly getting to his feet. Xavier gets a hold of Samuel but again he looks hurt and stumbles back, Samuel sees an opportunity as he plants Xavier on the mat with a reverse DDT. Emma Louise has now rolled into the ring, she runs at Samuel and dropkicks him into the ring ropes, as he bounces back she catches him with the X-Factor. Emma Louise picks up Xavier who has his back to her, from out of nowhere Xavier hits Emma Louise with the Pele Kick. Xavier turns around and right into the big boot of Mondo who is back in the ring. Mondo picks Xavier up high over his head and moves over to the ropes.
Bennett: Mondo got some bad intentions right now!
Mondo launches Xavier over the top rope! Xavier crashes into the outside barrier next to the fans. Mondo then turns to see Samuel running at him. Before Samuel can do anything Mondo catches him across the head with an overhand chop. Mondo picks Samuel up and piledrivers him back into the mat. Mondo pins Samuel....
ONE..
.
.
.
TWO.... Emma Louise flys across the ring and breaks up the pin. As Mondo gets to his feet Emma Louise runs off the ropes and back towards Mondo, but Mondo catches his with a big boot. Mondo then picks up Emma Louise and turns towards the ropes, as Xavier is getting to his feet Mondo throws Emma Louise over the top rope and right on top of Xavier. Mondo smirks as he looks out at the crowd who are booing him.
Carter: Who is going to stop the big man?
Samuel is up, he tries to take Mondo down with an uppercut and then a couple of kicks to the gut but that doesn’t faze the big man. He grabs Samuel by the throat and headbutts him right in the face. Mondo then picks up Samuel and attempts to throw him out of the ring on top of Xavier and Emma Louise but as he throws Samuel over Emma and Xavier move out of the way and Samuel
crashes to the hard floor outside. Xavier and Emma Louise both get in the ring, Emma Louise rubs at Mondo and hits him with a forearm in the face, Xavier jumps and knees Mondo in the head causing him to drop to his knees. Xavier hits Mondo with some hard chops to the back of the kneck. Emma Louise running drop kicks Mondo in the face sending him falling to the mat. Xavier and Emma pick Mondo back up and they both work together to hit him with a double suplex.
Aiello: Great team work there by Xavier Reid and Emma Louise!
Bennett: I don’t wanna see teamwork, this isn’t a tag team match! Beat each other up, hurt each other, I wanna see a fight!
Carter: You worry me Bennett.
Emma Louise runs at Xavier and catches him with a spear! Samuel rolls into the ring and Emma Louise slaps him across the face then hits him with the Em's The Brakes! Mondo is starting to get to his feet, Emma Louise climbs up the top rope and goes for a diving crossbody to Mondo but as she jumps Xavier Reid comes from nowhere and dropkicks Emma Louise in mid air sending her crashing to the mat in pain. Xavier knees Mondo in the head and then hits the fuck your stomp on him. Xavier then quickly applies the X’ed out on Greg Samuel, Xavier squeezes the hold on right and doesn’t let go. The ref raises Samuels arm... Once.. Twice... A third time.. no response, the ref calls for the bell as Greg Samuel has passed out!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here is your winner... Xavier Reid!!!
Carter: What a huge win for Xavier Reid, I’m sure we’ll see him challenging for the world title again very soon!
Xavier rolls out of the ring, holding his side again he walks up the ramp towards the curtain with his arm raised. Maniac Mondo rolls out of the ring and bangs the ring apron in frustration. As the ref checks on Greg Samuel, Emma Louise gets to her feet and looks around the crowd as they cheer and clap her. A thank you Emma chant is started up as we cut to a commercial.
We move to a commercial break.
We open up Backstage and Yeshwa is standing front and center.
Yeshwa: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls step right up the show is about to begin. You are about to witness the greatest show on earth. The greatest upset victory in the competitive nature since David took the on Goliath. Yeshwa, The Wanderlust King, The Luchagore, the star of Criterionhas risen from the ashes of the defunct group to a singles match without Undisputed Champion. It’s safe to say based on his words earlier in the week that Don doesn’t take me very seriously. With all that research on his flight back to the states he concluded that I am not worthy of his time. Usually the man has his homework down pat I wouldn’t be afraid to call him head of the class. But our valedictorian missed a few things while cramming for the test this week. In fact Sanders, I’d grade you an F this week. Clearly you were hung up on my use of the word chump when referring to you. It’s made you salty and assuming.
Yeshwa poses for audience reaction. He hears them calling like Cthulhu.
Yeshwa: You assume I don’t take you seriously or respect your accomplishments. But if you were focused while studying you wouldn’t have overlooked the statements I’ve made giving you due props. You wouldn’t be where you are now if you weren’t good at what you do. The best. But I wouldn’t be in this match if I were a paint by numbers competitor. But you are a chump and I’ll prove it tonight. Because while you spent your time on the internet researching my short wins and loss record and my admitted bias for the lady’s around here I was focused on the task at hand. Dominating Dominic Sanders. And that’s exactly what i am going to do. And after I kick your ass and send you into crying arms of the limit. I am going to demand a shot at the title.
Yeshwa gestures at his waist. Miming the championship .
Yeshwa: Tonight Brawl becomes the Psycho Circus and I say welcome to the show, the demise of Dominic Sanders. And the true arrival of Yeshwa.

SINGLES MATCH
Hazel Overton
VS Kendrick Kross
VS Kendrick Kross
Aiello: That was a hell of a fatal fourway we just witnessed! The fallout from stranglemania continues with our next matchup.
Stroup: Our next match is scheduled for one fall.... introducing first currently residing in London, England, she is "The Bitch" Hazel Overton!
Gold lights fill the arena as "Scarborough Fair" by Leaves' Eyes sounds over the sound system. Hazel Overton walks through the curtain with her blonde hair flowing freely. She turns her nose up at the audience while slowly walking down the ramp. Hazel slips into the ring and walks around the ring with her manager Ashley Fairchild following closely behind her.
Bennett: Well hello there...
Carter: Put your tongue back in Bennett!
Aiello: This is the Brawl debut of Hazel Overton! Fun fact Hazel started out as a manager before getting into the ring.
Bennett: She can manage me anytime.
Carter: Bennett!!!!
‘Seven Nation Army' hits the PA System. The lights flash red and white with each bass drum hit illuminating the stage briefly. When the snare comes in the rest of the lights come in to reveal Kendrick standing in the middle of the stage with a slight smile on his face. When the cymbals hit in as the words "leave it alone" are said red and white pyro shoot from the side of the stage as Kendrick proceeds down the ramp.
Stroup: From Chelsea London, weighing at 215 Pounds....Kendrick KROSS!
Kendrick continues his way down the ramp slapping a few hands and with each cymbal strike the red lights brighten. As he reaches the end of the ramp he smiles and takes a left turn and walks up the steps, climbing in through the top and second ropes. He walks to the middle of the ring and looks out into the crowd before walking over to his corner and hopping up onto the turnbuckle.
Aiello: Kendrick Kross is looking to get back on track here with a win!
Carter: The former two time television champion certainly has the talent to turn his bad run of luck around
DING DING DING
The match bell rings and just as Kendrick is about to lock up with Hazel she drops to the floor and rolls out of the ring. Kendrick puts his arms up in the air and looks at the ref in frustration. As the ref shouts at her to get back in the ring Hazel ignores him, instead she walks over to Ashley Fairchild and leans on her shoulder. Hazel whispers in Ashley’s ear and both of them point and laugh at Kendrick in the ring as the fans boo them.
Carter: I wonder what Hazel is whispering to her manager?
Bennett: She’s asking for my number.
Carter: I’m speechless.
Hazel and Ashely start arguing with the fans, they don’t see Kendrick rush towards the corner that’s close to them. He leaps onto the top turnbuckle and moonsaults to the outside towards Hazel and Ashely, at the last second Hazel sees Kendrick and she ducks out of the way leaving Ashely to take the full force of Kendrick’s moonsault. Kendrick gets to his feet and Hazel rushes at him from behind, grabbing Kendrick and running him shoulder first into the ringpost.
Aiello: Ouch! Shoulder first into the ring post, that has got to hurt.
Carter: But did you see that moonsault Kendrick pulled off, that’s why he’s one of the very best talents the EWC has to offer!
Hazel picks Kendrick up and rolls him into the ring, she then walks slowly up the ring steps and into the ring apron. Hazel hangs onto the ring apron and blows the fans a sarcastic kiss as they boo her loudly. Kendrick is on his knees holding his shoulder as Hazel gets in the ring. Before he can get to his feet Hazel runs at Kendrick and kicks him hard on his damaged shoulder. Kendrick falls to mat is pain. Hazel starts pummeling Kendrick’s shoulders with vicious kicks.
Bennett: Intelligent strategy by Hazel, target Kendricks hurt shoulder. Strong start by the seductive and alluring debutant.
Carter: Bennett... just... stop. Ok. No more.
The fans are shouting explicit words at Hazel as she raises her arms in the air and begins to twirl around, but as she does this Kendrick reaches up and rolls her up for a pin! The ref starts the count...
ONE

TWO....KICKOUT! Hazel kicks out!
Aiello: Kendrick nearly stole one there but he doesn’t have the strength to hold the pin because of his shoulder!
Kendrick leans against the ropes holding his shoulder as Hazel scrambles to the opposite end of the ring and turns around looking at Kendrick. Kendrick smiles at her and puts his close fingers together to insinuate that he was this close to pinning her. This angers Hazel, she moves quickly over to Kendrick who gets to his feet. Kendrick goes for a step up Enziguri but Hazel ducks under the kick and grabs his hair hitting him with a hair pull back breaker. Kendrick holds his back in pain Hazel
runs off the ropes and comes back with a dropkick to his hurt shoulder. Kendrick winces in pain as he rolls over to the ring ropes. Hazel grabs a handful of Kendrick’s hair and pulls him up to his knees, she then shouts LONDON BELONGS TO ME in his face and then begins to slap him repeatedly in the face.
Carter: Oh come on that’s uncalled for! So disrespectful!
Bennett: London belongs to Hazel Overton Carter and don’t you forget it!
The harder Hazel slaps Kendrick the more angry he gets. After one particularly hard swing, Kendrick catches Hazels arm and stands to his feet. The fans go wild. Hazel breaks Kendrick’s grip and takes a step back, she tries to hit Kendrick with her version of the super kick the Tooth Decay but Kendrick ducks the kick and instead he hits Hazel with the Pele Kick! Hazel is down and out, Kendrick holds his shoulder as he pulls himself across and finally makes the pin....

.THRE....Ropebreak!!!! The ref doesn’t see Ashley Fairchild put Hazels foot on the bottom rope.
Aiello: Ashley Fairchild just saved the match for Hazel!
Bennett: Did she? I didn’t see a thing.
Carter: Oh yeh I bet you didn’t!
Kendrick realizes what’s just happened as he shouts at the ref before banging his fists on the mat in frustration. Meanwhile Ashley pulls Hazel out of the ring, holding her up and trying to bring her around. Kendrick stares at the both of them for a moment before getting to his feet and running towards the corner, he springboards onto the turnbuckle and then from the turnbuckle to the outside where he catches Hazel with a triangle dropkick.
Aiello: A triangle dropkick to the outside! What a high risk manoeuvre by Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick pulls Hazel up and rolls her into the ring. He gets into the ring himself, and quickly applies an STF to Hazel! Hazel is in pain as she raises her hand to tap. Ashely Fairchild jumps onto the ring apron and starting shouting at the ref who has to go over and deal with her. Kendrick sees this and he’s had enough, he let’s go of the hold on Hazel and gets to his feet, he runs over to Ashley and roundhouse kicks her off of the ring apron! Ashely crashes to the floor on the outside.
Carter: That’s what Ashley Fairchild gets! She’s got involved one to many times!
Kendrick turns around as Hazel runs towards him, he catches her with a hard European uppercut that floors her. Kendrick climbs to the top rope, holding his shoulder for a moment he looks out over the crowd who are on there feet, then he jumps and hits Hazel with the Post Mortem. He quickly makes the pin....

DING DING DING
Stroup: ...and your winner is Kendrick Cross!!!
Kendrick gets to his feet and leans against the ropes as the ref holds his arm up. Holding his shoulder, Kendrick climbs to the top rope and let’s out a roar as the fans applaud him. He gets off the top rope and climbs to the outside, the fans pat him on the back as he walks up the ramp with a grin on his face. Ashley gets in the ring as Hazel gets to her feet, kicking the ropes in anger she shouts at the ref.
Carter: The relief across Kendrick Kross’s face there is evident as he finally gets that win! This could be a fresh start for him.
Bennett: Hazel Overton deserved the win there! I’m expecting big things from her after that impressive debut.
Aiello: That’s definitely not the last we’ve seen of Hazel Overton! Let’s get to our next match after this commercial break.
We move to a commercial break.
We cut to the back lot as a black SUV pulls up. After a moment the door opens, and out steps old Tom Frost. His largely unfamiliar appearance still elicits some cheers. He flicks a spent cigarette and makes for the back door, where Brian Spades is waiting to greet him.
Brian Spades: Tom, Tom, can I get a word?
Frost continues walking, pushing through the doors as he nods for Spades to follow.
Brian Spades: You're basically coming in off the streets into a Gauntlet Match for the EWC International Title tonight. How does it feel to be placed in such a high profile match on your Brawl debut?
They continue walking down the backstage corridor as Frost considers the question. After a pause, he answers.
Tom Frost: Feels like I was put here to get put down tonight, that's how it feels. Feels like I was put here to lose. Certainly didn't earn it last week at with a draw at Stranglemania. You want my take? You and the rest have got me pegged for a warm body. But you and the rest have got it all wrong.
Brian Spades: Hmm...you...you represented Brawl in the Tag Team Brand War match at Stranglemania. How do you plan to -
Frost stops walking and puts a hand on Spade's shoulder.
Tom Frost: Tell you what, let's just cut through the bullshit. Want me to talk about how I've got exactly one EWC match under my belt? Want me to break down just how great Iggy Swango is, just how brutal it's going to be to even GET to her? What's more to say, huh? Like you said, Brian, it's old Tom Frost's Brawl debut, and you're not alone in counting me out from the get go. The whole world is. But that's because they don't know what I've got in me. Most are saying I'm in over my head, that I'm being thrown into the fire this week. But no, no. All these boys and the International Champ are being thrown to me. Because I've got a fire burning in me, one the likes of which this place has never seen. You getting me?
Brian Spades: Y-yes I think -
Tom Frost: And all I can say about tonight is I pray to God I'm called up first, because I want to earn it. I don't want to walk out a fluke champion. I want to run through each and every one of my opponents before tearing the International Title out of Iggy Swango's clutches. I want that. Whether I get it...well, you'll just have to wait and see.
Frost gives Spade a bit of a shove before walking off, and we cut away.
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Daryl Maxwell
VS Owensby Smith
VS Gabrielle Visconty
VS Owensby Smith
VS Gabrielle Visconty
Aiello: Welcome back. Up next we have Gabrielle Visconty making her Brawl roster debut in a Fatal Three Way against Uprising's D-Max and Rapage's Owensby Smith.
Bennett: I am not sure who I hate more in this match, Smith or Visconty. I can't believe they let that blonde bimbo on to Brawl.
Carter: So negative. This should be a great match. It will be our first chance at seeing D-Max in action, and the possibility to see if Owensby Smith has truly found his stride here in the EWC.
Bennett: How about you shut the hell up and go get me a beer?!
Stroup: Our next match is a Fatal Three Way, scheduled for one fall... Coming to the ring first, from Honolulu, Hawaii – standing 5' 4” and weighing in at 118 pounds – The Angel - GABRIELLE VISCONTY!!
“Walk on Water” by 30 Seconds to Mars begins to play through out the arena as the lights slowly dim. A single spotlight shines on the entrance way to great Gabi Vee as she walks out of the back. Images of Gabi Vee's highlights flash on the MacTron overhead. She smirks out over the crowd before raising her hands high in the air, then dropping them out to her side as the lights come back up. She turns around once before jogging down to the ring. She takes a few moments to play it up with the fans, stopping by a young girl with a sign that reads: I'M 4 GABI VEE! Gabi pulls her hat off and places it on the young girls head before she slides under the bottom ropes.
Carter: Gabi taking a little time out for her fans. That's one lucky girl.
Bennett: If you call getting head lice lucky.
Stroup: Coming to the ring next, from Hollywood, California – standing 6' 1” and weighing in at 275 pounds – He is The Sexiest Man Alive, The Ladies Man, D-MAX!!
The lights dim purple and pink as red smoke begins to fill the stage area. Suddenly, 'Put It On' by Big L blasts as Pyros hit. We see the hype man Lil Crippler come bouncing out and claps as 'The Ladies Man' D-Max slowly steps out from the back. D-Max stands at center stage with his hands on his hips all sassy-like while Lil Crippler sprays him with "Sex Panther" cologne. Lil Crippler claps his hands and smacks D-Max's chest and yells as he hypes him up. D-Max nods his head and slowly begins his walkway strut down the ramp. Lil Crippler continues hyping up D-Max as they walk to the ring. They walk up the steps, Lil Crippler steps into the ring and sits on the middle rope as he pushes up the top rope for D-Max to step in. D-Max stands in his corner, hands on his hips as he takes his shirt off and waits for the match to begin.
Bennett: I am going to have to get a bottle of that Sex Panther cologne.
Aiello: Please don't.
Stroup: Coming to the ring next, from Nashua, New Hampshire – standing 5' 7” and weighing in at 180 pounds - please welcome 'The Man Without A Plan' ... OWENSBY ... SMITH!
"Tonight" by Seether starts to play and a modest pyrotechnic show begins. Owensby Smith runs out on stage with his valet, Sara Michaels, in tow. Owensby hops, jumps, and skips down the ramp with a high-five for every fan along the way. He does a complete circle around the ring, carefully watching Lil Crippler as he passes by him, and heads back up the ramp to meet Sara. Her hand in his, the two head back down toward the ring. On the ring apron, now, Owensby climbs up on the turnbuckle, facing outward at the fans, and then back-flips into the ring. Punching the air and bouncing around like a kid hyped up on sugar, Owensby riles up the fans in preparation for his upcoming match.
Carter: Owensby giving Lil Crippler a wide berth. Probably a wise move on his part.
Bennett: I was so hoping Lil Crippler would bitch slap him.
DING DING DING
As soon as the bell sounds Gabi springboards off the middle rope and blasts D-Max in the gut with a missile drop kick. D-Max stumbles back into the corner from the blow, but as Gabi moves in on D-max, Owensby catches Gabi with a running clothesline. Owensby wastes little time and setting in on D-Max with a series of knife edge chops. The crowd follows Owensby's chops with a loud WOOO! on everyone landed. Owensby steps back and winds up for a huge chop, only to see D-max thumb him in the eye before he can get off the chop. Owensby staggers back from the eye poke and right into Gabi as she rolls him up from behind for the quick pin attempt.
1...
Big boot to the head of Gabi from D-max breaks that up.
Aiello: Gabi Vee trying to end this one quickly.
Bennett: Haha! Kick her teeth out, D-Max!
D-Max yanks Gabi violently to her feet by her hair and slings her into the ropes. Gabi comes off and baseball slides under a huge clothesline attempt from D-max. As Gabi slides past, she grabs his back leg and pulls it out, sending D-Max into a painful looking splits. The crowd groans as D-Max flops onto his back, clutching his groin. Lil Crippler has a look of pain on his face as he tries to hype D-Max back up. Gabi springs up and spots Owensby moving in on her. They lock up and Owensby drives Gabi back into the ropes, and she slips a leg through the ropes. The ref calls for the break. Owensby lets go of Gabi and backs away. Gabi feigns an lung in on Owensby and he backs up a little more. Gabi smiles cockily at him and then points behind him. Owensby turns to look just in time for D-Max to kick him in the gut. Owensby doubles over and D-Max yanks him into a pumphandle neckbreaker. Gabi darts in and kicks D-Max in the gut, but he brushes it aside and belly to back suplexs her right on top of Owensby. Lil Crippler is jumping up and down with excitement outside the ring.
Bennett: Power, agility and Sex Panther cologne. What's not to like about D-Max?!
Carter: D-Max is heading for the ropes!
D-Max scales the ropes nimbly for a man his size and quickly comes off with a five-star frog splash, smashing Gabi into Owensby. D-Max stands up and yanks Gabi to her feet and pulls her into a powerbomb, aiming for Owensby, who manages to roll out of the way at the last moment. Owensby rolls out of the ring as D-Max started for him. Lil Crippler yells at D-Max to focus on Gabi. D-Max smirks at Owensby as he walks back over to pull Gabi back up off the mat. D-Max smiles out to the crowd as he choke slams her out of the ring, right in front of the announcer's table. Lil Crippler laughs as he moves around to see Gabi laid out on the arena floor.
Bennett: She's dead.
Carter: He should've went for the pin.
Aiello: Rookie mistake. With Owensby on the outside of the ring, he could of won the match if he had gone for the pin.
Owensby sneaks back into the ring as D-Max looks down on the motionless Gabi. Lil Crippler spots Owensby a little too late to warn D-Max as Owensby rolls him up into a school boy pin attempt.

3 – NO!
Last minute kick out by D-Max just before the ref's hand touched the mat. Owensby goes with the kick out, transitioning into a lion tamer. D-Max howls in pain as Owensby tries to lock the hold in deep. D-Max digs deep and starts pulling himself towards the ropes, grabbing the bottom one. The ref calls for the break and D-Max slides out of the ring. Lil Crippler rushes over to check on him as Owensby sprints to the other side of the ring, bouncing off the ropes and rushes to the other side to dive out of the ring with a suicide splash, catching both D-Max and Lil Crippler. The fans shower the move with chants of HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! Lil Crippler rolls out of the pile holding his head and screaming. Anna moves over to check on Owensby.
Aiello: Huge suicide splash from Smith.
Bennett: Owensby should be disqualified for landing on Lil Crippler!
Carter: Both D-Max and Owensby are down on the outside. Gabi Vee is starting to get to her feet.
Gabi gets to her feet slowly, shaking her head as she tries to clear the fog. She staggers to the side of the apron and starts to roll under the bottom rope. Owensby rolls to his side and slides back into the ring. D-Max starts to get to his feet slowly, looking menacingly at Anna. Owensby yells at D-Max and hops up onto the top rope to start to springboard off, only to get missile drop kicked by Gabi. Owensby flies off the top rope and out of the ring, landing awkwardly on the guard rail and crashing into the first row. The fans let out a huge pop.
Carter: OH MY GOD!
Aiello: Owensby lost track of Gabi Vee and just paid dearly for it.
Bennett: Best move from Owensby tonight! HAHA!
Gabi stands up in the center of the ring and raises her arms in the air and smiles to the fans. D-Max slides into the ring and is immediately greeted by Gabi with a standing front flip leg drop to the back of his head, bouncing his face off the mat. D-Max is bleeding from the nose as he struggles to get to his feet. Gabi kips up and motions for D-Max to get to his feet.
Aiello: Gabi seems to have found her second wind.
Bennett: D-Max is going to kill her, watch and see.
Owensby struggles to get back over the guard rail, limping a little on his left leg. D-Max charges in furiously at Gabi and she dashes to the ropes. Gabi leaps up, springboards off of the top rope, but as she comes down D-Max catches her and delivers a ferocious powerslam, Gabi rolls out of the ring. As D-Max stands, Owensby comes form behind, D-Max ducks an attack and as Owensby turns to face him, D-Max kicks him in the gut, grabs his arm and whips him into the ropes. As Owensby returns D-Max uses both hands to toss Owensby up into the air, catches him and slams him down with a pop-up project Ciampa, that D-Max calls BRINGING SEXY BACK! and goes in for the cover.
ONE!...
TWO!...
THREE!
DING DING DING
Stroup: And your winner of the Triple Threat match: D-MAX!!!
Carter: What an amazing first showing by D-Max.
Aiello: An amazing match. Period.
Gabi on the outside smacks the ring as she was unable to break the pinfall. Lil Crippler jumps up in excitement as he slides in the ring to celebrate.
We move to a commercial break.
As D-Max celebrates in the ring (More Lil Crippler celebrates), the feed cuts backstage, where we see Jon Spartan sifting through numerous important items at his desk. Just as he’s about to pick up his phone to make a call, there’s a knock on his door.
Jon Spartan: I wonder who that could be…
Though appearing slightly perturbed by the interruption, the curious Spartan rises from his chair and walks to the door. He rests his hand on the doorknob for a moment as he lets out a sigh, then slowly turns the knob and pulls the door inward.
Jon Spartan: Next time, if you’d like to chat, I’d kindly ask that you… Whoa…
Spartan’s voice trails off as he sees who’s at the door; the camera pans up, and the crowd cheers as United States Champion Ace King is standing in the doorway, his arm extended.
Ace King: Hardly any way to treat a guest, no?
Jon Spartan: No, of course not, sorry about that! By all means, come on in!
‘The Gambler’ takes Spartan up on his invitation, shutting the door behind him and taking a seat opposite BRAWL’s Assistant General Manager.
Jon Spartan: So, what’s on your mind?
Ace King: I’m a pretty simple man, Mr. Spartan. Just on my way up to New Jersey for Rampage, and figured I’d make a stop along the way, especially in a place that knows and appreciates its wrestling.
Spartan nods as the crowd offers a cheap pop for the United States Champion’s sentiment.
Jon Spartan: Indeed, they know good stuff when they see it… Like your distinguished tenure with that championship, for example. How far along are you now?
The question catches Ace a bit off-guard, and he turns a little bit pink as he looks at his precious gold.
Ace King: This is 519 days, if my math is right.
Jon Spartan: And quite a phenomenal run it’s been; every bit a record-breaker, potentially an underappreciated one, so you deserve any attention you get for it. Quite frankly, there isn’t a whole lot you haven’t done in your tenure with that championship…
Spartan’s voice trails off; there’s a slight arch of his eyebrow, as the gears in his brain are clearly at work.
Ace King: None of it has been easy, for sure.
Jon Spartan: No, indeed not, and I know that’s how you like it, which leads me to ask the following: For everything you’ve done with that, it’s sure seen a lot of challengers from your beloved green brand… But what about us?
The crowd cheers the question, and it doesn’t take long for ‘The Gambler’ to put two and two together as a small smile crosses his face.
Ace King: I mean, if nothing else, I’d like to think I’ve proven to be a durable, fighting champion who won’t back down from a challenge.
Spartan offers a similar smile back to the United States Champion, nodding at the confidence ‘The Gambler’ is showing.
Jon Spartan: No argument here… But you know what? Hold that thought for a little while… Say, a week or two… I might have something of interest to you, but leave it with me.
With a nod, ‘The Gambler’ gets up and shakes Spartan’s hand before exiting the office, leaving Spartan with that same smile on his face as we cut to… (Next segment / match)
TAG MATCH
(NON-TITLE)
Carrie & Orion Samson
VS Shock & Awe
VS Shock & Awe
We return to ringside where Joe, Max and Steve are ready to take us through our next match
Aiello: What a show Monday Night Brawl has been so far. Just a few moments ago we had that absolutely insane nail-biting triple threat match where Daryl Maxwell was able to get the victory. I have to say, the future looks bright for Visconty, Smith and Maxwell. Those three are going to be names we will become very familiar with as the season continues .. so much raw potential and what great excitement we had in that match
Carter: That's right Joe, up next up we have the newly crowned Tag Team Champions .. Shock & Awe .. taking on sisters Samson in .. Carrie and Orion Samson. The Samson sisters as you know are regularly competing in the indy circuit, which we get to see over on EWC Prime ..
Bennett: Both fine to look at too .. especially that Carrie ..
Carter: Does she make you feel like a skater boi?
Bennett: What?
Carter: Did she say "see you later boi"?
Bennett: What in the fuck are you talking about?
Carter: Nothing .. inside joke ..
Bennett: Then keep that shit locked up and inside .. you dumb jackass
Stroup: The following match is Tag Team Match! Joining us first, weighing in at combined 256 pounds ... CARRIE AND ORION SAMSON!!!
'The World Belongs to me ' begins to play as Orion makes her way onto the ramp .. after a few seconds 'Roundtable Rival' kicks in and Orion is joined by her sister Carrie. The two make their way down to the ring
Stroup: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined 365 pounds .. our NEW EWC World Tag Team Champions .. SHOCK AND AWE!!!!!!
Lights go dark, 'Unbreakable" - Of Mice & Men plays and smoke fills the entrance-way. Once the lights come on, they flash red and purple and from the stage rises a platform begins to be raised in the side of the stage. As the stage itself is filled with smoke, knelt down on one knee is Curtis Mars in the center of the rising platform, X-Division championship around his waist & Tag Team Championship over his shoulder. He uses his hand to hold up his head and as the platform raises higher, he slowly lifts his head up and there is an odd smile on his face. Once the platform stops, Curtis leaps into the air, lands with his arms spread out wide and lets out a loud scream of excitement. Then, from the back jumps Freya Hobs, Tag Team Championship around her waist. She throws her arms back with a yell as the pyros go off. Both Curtis and Freya meet at the center of the stage. They put their foreheads together, Curtis grabs her head and kisses her forehead. Stepping away from one another, smiling, Freya slaps Curtis hard in the face and the two throw their hands back with excitement and let out a loud scream and then smash their forearms together and begin walking down the ramp.
Aiello: What an excellent showing by Shock & Awe at StrangleMania XIV .. it is hard to get used to seeing someone other than NSFW coming out here with those Tag Team Championships. What an example NSFW was when it came to how to work as a team, a unit .. how they defended those Championships time and time again .. together being almost unbeatable. Their reign will go down in the history books and the EWC will never forget their contributions .. but we cannot look past what Shock & Awe did .. I mean .. they lived up to their name .. they both SHOCKED and AWED us by becoming the EWC Tag Team Champions .. so .. lets see how they do in their first action since winning them just last weekend
DING DING DING
Orion Samson and Freya Hobs start things off in the ring. With the bell sounding the two circle each other as chants, cheers and whistles pour down from all over the arena in Memphis. With Orion soaking in the environment, Freya strikes first with a kick to the midsection and with Orion hunched over Freya nails her with a running knee to the face dropping Orion to the mat hard. Carrie is trying to encourage her sister to get back up quickly but Freya doesn't let a moment pass as she gets Orion to her feet and then hits her with a Samoan drop
Aiello: So far the Tag Team Champions are in complete control of this match, Freya has barely broken a sweat
Bennett: Yes but Carrie sure looks good doesn't she? 5'5" of yummy yummy yum yums ..
Carter: What's with you tonight Steve?
Bennett: You shut your damn spoiled brat mouth. I will bitch slap you back to bangkok
Carter: And he's back
With Curtis Mars now tagged in, he continues to work on Orion as Carrie can only watch on .. Curtis currently applying the Boston Crab as Orion screams in agony but is not ready to give up .. Curtis releases the hold and heads to the ropes .. Orion lays on her back unaware of whats going on right now .. trying to catch her breathe .. Curtis now at the top rope leaps and nails a 450 splash! Here is the cover

KICK OUT!
Aiello: Wow it almost looked like game over for the Samson sisters but someway, somehow Orion managed to kick out .. that was incredible! There is no quit in Orion .. if she can find a way to tag in Carrie .. she hasn't been in the ring yet and is roaring to go
Carter: It feels like the Champions are just too much for the Samson sisters right now .. but things could change. Like you said Joe, if Carrie can get involved .. momentum could swing in their favor quickly
Curtis is still rather surprised that Orion managed to kick out .. and with Orion still not showing any real signs of life .. he goes for another quick pin

KICK OUT!!!!
Curtis now on his knees smiles and shakes his head .. Freya calls over to him and he acknowledges .. going in for the tag .. which now just gave Orion the window she needed and she leaps over to the corner slapping Carries hand and she comes flying into the ring .. a 119lbs tornado of fists and feet as she attacks Curtis from behind who hadn't got out of the ring yet .. and with Curtis down she turns her attention to Freya who tried to get into the ring but was knocked down to the ground by Carrie as the crowd roars and cheers behind her
Aiello: Listen to this crowd .. Shock & Awe are beloved by the fans but Carrie Samson just got the biggest pop of the night. The fans are standing, cheering, chanting her name
Bennett: All she needed was her shot .. this could be a true underdog story here Joe .. we might be in for a major upset here
Carter: Freya has no idea what the hell happened, she was just trying to get in the ring .. Carrie definitely capitalized on a bit of a miscue as Shock & Awe really took their time making that transition
Referee Josh Daniels got to 5 as Freya slides into the ring and smirks at Carrie .. Freya charges at Carrie but she avoids her with a Matrix Evasion and the crowd goes insane again .. Freya again smiles and coming at Carrie, Carrier slides on her knees, between Freyas legs and jumps to her feet, as Freya turns around Carrie nails her a Front Dropkick .. Carrie then heads to the near by ropes .. hops up to the second rope and leaps in the air nailing Freya with the Roundtable Reunion!!!!
HOLY SHIT

KICK OUT!
Aiello: That was probably the closest the Samson sisters have come to winning here tonight .. wow .. Freya somehow kicked out of that and we still have a match here folks .. don't count the Champs out just yet
Bennett: Really impressed with Carrie and Orion right now .. they not only showed up, but they came here with some moxy, some spunk and are opening up multiple cans of Bennett Patented Whoop ass
Carter: Momentum certainly on the side of the Samson sisters right now .. lets see how Freya and Curtis respond .. or if Carrie and Orion can wrap this up
Orion gets Freya to her feet and attempts another Belt of Orion but Freya pushes off and nails Orion with a Glasgow Kiss busting Orions nose open .. with blood flowing .. Freya nails Orion with the Screamer. She then tags in Curtis Mars who spins Freya around and then whips her into Orion completing Berserker and then staying on her hands and knees, Curtis runs and uses her back to leap off of completing a corkscrew shooting star press onto Orion completing the SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM!

Stroup: And your winner, your EWC Tag Team Champions ... SHOCK & AWE!!!!Curtis and Freya are handed their Championships by Josh Daniels as they celebrate the victory together in the middle of the ring. Orion and Carrie hang their heads in defeat but the two still get a very strong and positive reaction from many of the fans in Memphis
Aiello: The newly crowned EWC World Tag Team Champions get the victory here and they sure looked good tonight. Did not skip a beat from last weekends incredible victory. Shock & Awe have excellent chemistry and it was on full display here tonight
Carter: Cant take anything away from Orion and Carrie here though .. these two came up from the indy circuit and had a very tough challenge against the Champions .. I mean .. they gave one hell of a fight, they should both be very proud .. they had some incredibly moments in this match where it almost looked like they were going to put the champs away .. but when you have not only Shock & Awe as Tag Team Champions and Curtis as X-Division Champion .. you are expecting too much if you thought the Samson sisters were walking away with a win here tonight .. but still .. amazing effort by these two and I hope we see them on Brawl again soon
Bennett: Look .. bottom line here is .. Shock & Awe did what they had to do to get it done. Orion and Carrie weren't 'out of their depth' here .. they took the champions to the bitter end .. they stayed in it .. showed some excellent chemistry too .. but they couldn't get it done at the end of the day. I'll still be thinking about Orion and Carrie tonight .. oh yes .. I will be thinking of them tonight ..
Aiello: Gross .. don't go anywhere folks, we have more Brawl action coming up next when Yeshwa looks to upset our EWC Undisputed Champion Dominic Sanders .. but first, a quick word from our sponsors .. don't go anywhere!

Aiello: The action rolls on here and the fallout from stranglemania is real! Next we’ve got the world champ in action.

Stroup: Our next contest is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring weighing in at 225 pounds residing from Hilton Osaka... YESHWA......
The lights strobe red and black and the ramp flashes glimpses of Cthulu. Yeswa steps out with enthusiasm right fist raised to eye level. Yeshwa leaps on the side of the apron then flips over the top rope and into the ring. He rolls to hard camera side of the ring and raises his fist to eye level once more.
Carter: Yeshwa looking to show what he can do on his own, and he has all the talent in the world to do it.
Bennett: Well he’ll need to be on his A game tonight because he’s facing the very best the EWC has to offer.
The lights go out in the arena. Purple lights cut on around the entrance ramp as "Drop the World" by Lil' Wayne begins playing.
"I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes
Hate in my heart, love in my mind"
Dominic Sanders steps out from the back in a dark purple hoodie and black wrestling tights on, finished by white boots. The EWC Undisputed Championship hangs from his right hand. The hood of his sweatshirt drapes over his eyes as he stands at the top of the ramp. Both members of The Limit follow and flank him on either side as he stands at the top of the ramp and soaks in the boos from the crowd.
"So I pick the world up and I'ma drop it on your fucking head!"
Dominic beats his chest with his left fist and raises the Undisputed Championship in the air with a roar. The crowd boos even louder as he starts to make his way down to the ring. A cocky grin can be seen under the hood of his sweatshirt as he and The Limit walk down the ramp.
Stroup: Introducing next... from Aledo, Texas. Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds... He is the EWC Undisputed Champion! DOMINIIIIC SAAAAANDEEERS!
Sanders rolls underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. He jumps up to his feet and stares out into the unadoring crowd underneath the hood of his sweatshirt, all while holding the Undisputed Championship high in the air. He grins and shakes his head as he moves over to the corner and waits.
Aiello: At Stranglemania Dominic Sanders once again proved that when it comes to being the world champion he is the real deal.
Carter: You’ve got to wonder if Dominic is at 100 per cent tonight after that brutal hell in a cell match.
DING DING DING
Dominic Sanders and Yeshwa get in each other’s faces. Yeshwa talks smack and Sanders laughs in his face. Yeshwa swings a fist at Sanders but Sanders blocks it, spinning around Yeshwa and locking his arms around his waist. Sanders throws Yeshwa back for a release German suplex but Yeshwa lands on his feet. As Sanders turns around Yeshwa rushes at the champ and hits him with a spinning wheel kick.
Aiello: Yeshwa is one of the most acrobatic competitors we’ve ever had in the EWC!
Yeshwa picks Sanders up and slaps him across the face. This angers Dominic who slaps Yeshwa back even harder. A slapping war commences with each hit getting harder. Yeshwa goes for a particularly hard swings but Dominic ducks it and picks Yeshwa up, planting him on the mat with a spinebuster. Dominic wipes the sweat off of his forehead and flings it down at Yeshwa.
Carter: Eww that’s disgusting.
Bennett: That’s the sweat of a champion! Yeshwa should be honored. The champ could bottle his sweat and sell it for fifty bucks a pop easy.
Yeshwa rolls out of the ring to get a breather. Sanders runs off one side of the ring ropes and comes back with a suicide dive through the ropes onto Yeshwa. Sanders quickly gets up and picks Yeshwa up, running him back first into the ring post. Sanders grabs Yeshwa by the head and swings him into the barrier. Yeshwas body bashes into the barrier with a thud. Sanders rolls into the ring and then back out again to break up the count, he then sits on the ring apron and leans against the ropes as he watches Yeshwa with a cocky grin on his face.
Aiello: The champ is in total control.
Yeshwa pulls himself up onto the barrier, Sanders gets off the ring apron and charges at him. As Sanders dives towards him, Yeshwa leapfrogs over Sanders. Sanders momentum sends him crashing over the barrier and into the front row. The fans are cheering and screaming at the same time. The security tries to clear some of the fans out of the way. Yeshwa jumps onto the barrier and runs along it, as Sanders gets to his feet Yeshwa jumps off the barrier towards him but Sanders is one step ahead as he catches Yeshwa in mid air, quickly turns around and powerslams him onto a row of empty steel chairs.
Carter: Holy crap that’s gotta hurt! This isn’t a hardcore match, get back in the ring!
Bennett: Shut up Carter, the Champ can do whatever he pleases!
Yeshwa is in pain holding his back as Sanders moves away some of the broken chairs that took the impact of Yeshwas body. Sanders picks up Yeshwa and throws him over the barrier back towards the ring. Yeshwa gets up and pulls himself into the ring as Sanders follows him. Yeshwa pulls himself to his feet, as Sanders gets in the ring Yeshwa suprises him with his version of the super kick the D’endrrah out of nowhere.

applies more pressure on the hold, Yeshwa stretches and reaches out for the ropes. His fingertips are inches away from the ropes when Sanders lets go of the
hold and stomps Yeshwa in the back of the head. Yeshwa holds his head in agony as Sanders again applies the Texas Bluebonnet but Yeshwa is closer to the ropes now as he reaches out and grabs the bottom one. Sanders won’t break the hold at first, the ref has to pull him off Yeshwa. The ref points in Sanders face and warns him, Sanders sarcastically

Yeshwa is out cold as Sanders pins... but the referee can’t see a thing, as he leans against the ropes trying to wipe the mist from his eyes. Sanders screams at the ref to come over and make the pin but the ref doesn’t know what’s happening!
Bennett: Are you kidding me? Dominic Sanders has the pin here!
Carter: Dominic Sanders hit Yeshwa right in the private parts so this is karma!
Sanders breaks the pin when he realizes that the ref is incapacitated. He goes over it the ref and tries to tell him that he had the three count but the ref still can’t get the mist out of his eyes. Sanders shakes his head but as he turns around Yeshwa has made it to his feet, he hits Sanders with a reverse DDT. Yeshwa then slowly pulls himself up to the top rope, calling for his finisher. Yeshwa jumps for the call of Chtulu. As Yeshwa leaps Sanders gets his knees up high. Yeshwa lands right on top of Sanders knee. Sanders quickly rolls Yeshwa up in a small package.

Carter: Yea, he is an odd one, but we will see how he performs against somebody as talented as Antoni.
Bennett: Dr. Psycho, he can win this hole thing! If he were on team Brawl, he might very well be my pick. Just wait until Stalker gets his hands on him.

Instead of going for the pin, Black wraps up Antoni's neck and locks in a bridging arm triangle that he calls PAPA DON'T PREACH! Refusing to tap and nothing else to do, Antoni slowly fades until he is completely out.
DING DING DING
Stroup: ANTONI MALIETOA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Aiello: Man, I love Cyrus Black, but I was hoping to see Antoni make it to the end, that man deserves it!
Carter: That guy has a bright future here in the EWC. Don't be down on yourself kid, incredible performance by you tonight.
Bennett: I have to admit, that was great.
Black stands up, he helps Antoni to his feet. Black grabs Antoni's arm and holds it into the air as the crowd gives a standing ovation.
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!

The two shake hands and show respect Antoni says "Get that belt man" as he exits the ring. Black waits in his corner as, "3's and 7's"- Queens of the Stone Age blasts and Iggy steps out with the International Championship. She gets to the ring, slides in and hands the belt over to the ref. The ref holds it into the air.
Stroup: This is for the International championship. The challenger, Cyrus Black and the Champion, Iggy Swango!
DING DING DING
Iggy waists no time, rushes in and attempts a running hip attack, but Black moves aside and Iggy smashes into the turnbuckle. Black grabs ahold of her and circles to her back. He spins and delivers a German suplex and without letting go he spins to his feet and repeats it two more times and on the third Black bridges and goes for the pin.
ONE!...
T KICKOUT!
Aiello: I think it's going to take a lot more than that to take out a champion like Iggy Swango.
Carter: For sure, if anything Iggy has shown she is very tough.
Bennett: She is beautiful too.
Black gets back to his feet. He walks over and climbs the turnbuckle. He leaps off attempting an elbow drop from the top, but Iggy rolls tot he side and Black crashes hard into the mat. Iggy pulls herself to her feet, as Black slowly pushes to his. Once both are back to their feet, Iggy spins and cracks Black in the side of the head with a spinning roundhouse kick. The kick causes Black to fall back into the ropes and as he bounces off Iggy spins and kicks Black right in the gut, she hooks his head, jumps and springboards off of the middle rope and delivers a DDT and roll Black over before going for a cover.
ONE!...
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Aiello: It's all on the line, neither of these two wanting to give up. This is what it's all about boys!
Carter: Black has shown he too is tough. Either one of these two have a solid shot at winning this championship.
Bennett: Stalker would already be celebrating with the gold if he didn't get robbed.
Iggy back to her feet. She bends down to grab Black and whips him into the ropes, on the return she drops to the ground, Black leaps over, Iggy up quick and runs, Black follows, she leaps up and springboards off of the ropes, turns in the air and smashes her forearm into the face of Black. Black rolls to his knees, Iggy back to her feet charges at him and attempts to drive a knee to his face, but Black rolls, locks up Iggy's legs and circles around to his feet. He puts his leg between hers and spins locking in a sharpshooter onto Iggy. Iggy noticeably in a lot of pain, refuses to tap. The ref watches close as she crawls and makes her way towards the ropes. She finally reaches out and grabs the bottom rope and Black lets go of the hold. She begins pulling herself up, Black charges her and she ducks down. Once contact is made, she springs up flinging Black up over the top rope, but he lands on his feet on the ring apron. As Iggy turns around, she is met to the side of the head with a kick. Grabbing at her mouths he spins around and when she faces Black again, Black leaps up, springboards off of the top rope and smashes into Iggy with a cross-body, but as they hit the ground, Iggy uses the momentum to keep rolling and she winds up on top for the cover.
ONE!...
TWO!...
KICKOUT!
Aiello: What in-ring acknowledgement shown by Iggy right there.
Carter: Great call by her. I'm sure that cross body hurt like hell, but she managed to use that momentum in her favor.
Bennett: How was that in her favor? She got a damn pin, but not a victory.
Black rolls and gets to his feet, as does Iggy. The two circle one another again. Iggy comes in hard throwing a punch to the gut of Black, that Black is able to move aside from, grab Iggy by the arm and whip her into the turnbuckle. Black runs over, leaps up putting his two feet onto the middle ropes and begins raining down punches that the crowd counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
He holds his hand in the air and right as he is about to throw the tenth, Iggy quickly lifts him up onto her shoulders and she falls forward hitting a falling powerbomb onto Black. Black rolls away, Iggy gets to her feet. Black crawls, back into the turnbuckle. Iggy runs towards Black, she attempts another running hip attack, but Black is able to roll out of the ring quickly at the last second. He circles the outside post and slides back into the ring, Iggy stomps on his back, reaches down and picks him up. Iggy attempts to whip him into the ropes, but Black reverses it and whips Iggy. In the return Black delivers a knee to the body of Iggy, Iggy flips over the knee and lands hard onto the mat sitting up. Black runs to the ropes, bounces off and comes with a running kick to the back of Iggy's head that he calls THE BLACK OUT! Black drags her away from the ropes and covers her.
ONE!...
TWO!...
THREE!
DING DING DING
Stroup: Here is your winner and NEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION, CYRUS BLACK!
Aiello: What a night. A once in a life time performance by Antoni Malietoa and then Cyrus Black with an absolutely incredible victory against the always dangerous Iggy Swango.
Carter: I'm satisfied. What a night.
Bennett: Dominic Sanders won, there was a lot of blood, I'm a happy camper.
Iggy walks over and takes the belt from the ref. She walks right up to Black and looks down at the belt. She then looks at Black and hands it over to him and claps. Black extends a hand and Iggy shakes it, then holds Black's arm up before leaving the ring. Brawl goes off air with Cyrus Black celebrating his victory.
