Martinez: Hello folks, welcome to another exciting episode of Friday Night Rampage. I am Omar Martinez, joined as always by Phillip Loydson. How's it going Phil?
Loydson: I mean, I cannot complain.
Martinez: We have a stacked show tonight with 5 marquee matches. In our main event, Samantha Hamilton takes on Gideon Gage in BORT action.
Loydson: Pulling for ol Hammy Sam there. And then in our semi final, we have Asriel Buzzard taking on Iggy Swango. This will be their third encounter and all 3 have been for that HBO Broadcast Championship.
Martinez: Iggy Swango has the potential to take that title and sway their series in her favor. Before that match, we have Queen Melody Malone Vs Orion Wentworth for Malone's US Championship.
Loydson: Orion has struggled as of late, but beating Malone would make even ME a believer. Our forth marquee match-up, Ryo Hazama takes on Shaker Jones.
Martinez: Ryo is undefeated since returning to FNR, while Shaker only has one win to his name. But Shaker could win this match and turn the BORT around for him. And then our fifth and final marquee match of the night... It's non title Champion Vs Champion. Ace King Vs David Miller.
Loydson: Ace King has the homefield advantage, but David Miller is a monster as of late.
Martinez: That'll be quite the match folks. But don't you go anywhere. Our special Two Day Rampage Event kicks off when we return!

MATCH ONE
CAIN BRODIE VS KING FLIP
SINGLES MATCH
REF: MIKE MICHAELSON
Chriqui: The following match is a singles match and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas & weighing in at 275 pounds... CAIN BRODIE!!!
'South Texas Deathride' blasts through the venue as Cain Brodie storms down to the ring, shoving ring crew and cameramen out of the way as he does. He paces back and forth impatiently once in the ring, waiting for his match to begin.
Chriqui: And his opponent, from The land of money and fame & weighing in at 220 pounds... KING FLIP!!!
An ominous boom hits the PA as the arena goes a dark hue of steel blue. A lovely violin solo begins to play as the tron depicts the image of a massive pile of money under several spotlights. After fifteen seconds, the solo peaks into a frightful tone dragged on as the money bursts into flame. 'Machinegun' begins to play as the man in the hooded vest, head low, emerges from the curtain with manager Chanel in tow. He gets to the edge of the rampway when he lifts his hood to reveal that arrogant half smile.
The lyrics chime in as he walks slowly down the ramp with his eyes locked in on the ring. He slides into the ring and leans against the turnbuckle with arms agape as his theme plays, yelling something inaudible to the referee and ring announcer. He turns to his opponent ready for the action to start.
Martinez: This match came about after a confrontation last FN'R because of the past Flip has with Jack Severn. Cain Brodie is looking to be his own man, but take out Jack's old enemy in the process.
Loydson: If Chanel needs someone to cry with after this match, I am available.
DING DING DING
The bell sounds and the two men head to the center of the ring. Without a second thought Cain grabs a meaty palm around Flip's throat and CHOKESLAM! Flip hits hard and gets to his feet, Cain hits the ropes and comes in with a big boot to the back of Flip's head! Flip flies off his feet into a corner. Flip hits the corner hard and stumbles backwards before turning into Cain who floors him with a spinebuster! Cain drags Flip up by his face, and then powerbomb. Cain keeps the hold and lifts Flip and drops him into another powerbomb. Cain releases the hold and drags Flip up by his throat, before chokeslamming him over the top rope to the padded concrete!
Martinez: Cain Brodie is out for blood here!
ONE!

THRE.. KING FLIP ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING!
Cain drags Flip up by the face and hits a third chokeslam. Cain goes for the cover.
ONE.. KICKOUT BY KING FLIP!
Cain Brodie drags Flip up and shoves him into the ropes. Cain spins into a discus lariat but Flip falls to his knees from all the damage he's taken, avoiding the move completely! Cain laughs and then hits the ropes, coming in for a big boot. Flip jumps from his knees into a dropkick to Cain's knees. Cain stumbles back grapping at his leg, Flip spins into a heel kick and jumps backwards to connect with Cain's knee! Cain stumbles backwards, Flip jumps into another low dropkick to the knees. Flip rolls up to his feet and enziguri to Cain's jaw! Cain stumbles into the corner. Flip rushes Cain, but Cain grabs on a bearhug... BELLY THE BELLY OVERHEAD SUPLEX TO THE OUTSIDE!

NIN... KING FLIP ROLLS INTO THE RING!
Cain advances on Flip, he drags him up for a chokeslam but Flip kicks him in the groin! The ref didn't see it! Cain stumbles back, Flip jabs his thumb in Cain's eye and then jumps into an enziguri. The big man falls to a knee. Flip ignores the ref's yelling and jumps into a dropkick directly to the face that finally puts Cain down. But Cain is quickly back to his feet, but he's hunched over. Flip grabs Cain's arms while pushing Cain's head into his back and then Flip spins to his left. They spin through once and then Cain lands right on his head! Flip covers! And Flip has the tights, the ref doesn't see the tights!
ONE!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall... KING FLIP!!!
Cain Brodie kicks out at three, and he is full of rage. Chanel and Flip try to take off but Cain grabs Chanel's hair and throws her into Flip to stop his run. Cain picks Flip up and chokeslams him over the top rope again. Flip hits hard, but scrambles to his feet and runs to the back, Chanel close behind.
Martinez: This situation could get very ugly for Flip if he's not careful.
Loydson: That's for sure.
MATCH TWO
ALEX "BULLET" CARBAJAL (0) VS TOMMY BURTON (0)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH
REF: PIERCE PATTERSON
Chriqui: The following match is a BORT B Block Match. Introducing first, currently at 0 points. From New Orleans, Louisiana & weighing in at 135 pounds... ALEX "BULLET" CARBAJAL!!!
'God Is A Bullet' – Concrete Blonde sounds off. Bullet heads out from the back and makes her way to the ring, she shuffles around a bit waiting for Tommy.
Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 0 points. From New Brunswick, Canada & weighing in at 209 pounds... TOMMY BURTON!!!
The drum beat. The screaming guitar… The unmistakable sound of Nirvana.
The lights dim slightly, the orange strobe of the lower stage lights strobe over the hooded man walking out. His hardened jaw. His mouthguard. His taped hands clenched hard as he makes his way down to the ring.
As the Scentless Apprentice plays, and the lights come up, we see Tommy Burton pull back his hood and remove his Club jacket. His eyes wide… crazy looking.
The music lowers, Tommy removes his hoodie, dropping it to the mat, he once again clenches his hands together… “Let’s do this”
Martinez: One of these two will break their dry streak of no BORT points here tonight.
Loydson: And they both seem pretty hungry to actually get a win.
DING DING DING
Tommy and Bullet waste very little time getting into the mix and throwing hands. They are both throwing strikes, elbows and kicks from Bullet. Headbutts and palms from Tommy. Neither competitor is willing to give an edge, there's a combo from Tommy. But a follow-up from Bullet. Bullet kicks with a different leg to catch Tommy off, but Tommy sends another headbutt into her jaw to back her off. This back and forth striking has to be going on a minute at this point, Tommy finally sees an opportunity and Irish-whips Bullet into his knee, he takes a back and Injection exploder suplex! Bullet rolls up to her feet and Cabacera soccer headbutt into Tommy's sternum!
Martinez: This match could literally be over and any minute, they've been striking back and forth for close to five minutes!
Tommy gets to his feet, but Bullet roundhouse kicks him back down. Tommy tries to stand but Bullet stomps his chest and puts a stop to that. Bullet mounts Tommy and begins to elbow him in the face, over and over. She's looking for the knockout blow! Pierce Patterson backs Bullet off to see if Tommy is still in this. Bullet backs up to the ropes, sizing up Tommy as he slowly stands after shoving Pierce away. Bullet rushes, spinning into a discus but TOMMY SPINS INTO AN ELBOW THAT LANDS FLUSH ON BULLETS JAW! Bullet stumbles backwards and then Tommy spins into another elbow, this one to the base of her skull. Dropping her like a sack of puppies off those back to back Chin Checks! Tommy covers!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 2 points... TOMMY BURTON!!!
Tommy Burton gets his hand raised by the ref, he kicks some dirt at Bullet and holds two fingers in the air. Tommy exits the ring and heads to the back. A fan is yelling in his face, he eyes the fan and seemingly wants to punch him. Burton looks at the fan next to him and it's hard to make out exactly what he said but.. free autograph if he decks the du... oh my god the fan knocks the other fan out. That's brutal. Tommy Burton heads to the back laughing while Bullet watches him leave from the ring.
Martinez: Tommy Burton is one sick man, but he got 2 points here tonight.
Loydson: Bullet almost had Tommy, she got so close to tasting victory here tonight.
MATCH THREE
JOSH GAVIN (2) VS PHOENIX WINTERBORN (2)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH
REF: PIERCE PATTERSON
Chriqui: Our next match is a BORT B-Block Match. Introducing first, currently at 2 points. From New Brunswick, Canada & weighing in at 245 pounds ... JOSH GAVIN!!!
Josh Gavin makes his way out at the exact moment as Fuel’s chorus hits. Gavin raises his arms side to side and looses a war cry.
Gavin pumps up the crowd as he marches down the ramp. Gavin climbs up to the apron and points out to the crowd. He spins across the ropes as he slides toward the other end of the apron, and points to that side of the crowd. Gavin climbs into the ring, and climbs the top rope, holding his arms out once more.
Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 2 points. From CHICAGO, ILLINOIS & weighing in at 228 pounds... PHOENIX WINTERBORN!!!
'Defame Me' – New Years' Day sounds off. Winterborn heads out from the back to the ring. An angry look on his face.
Martinez: Josh and Winterborn both stand at 2 points, and they both will surely be looking to expand into 4 points as we head into tomorrow's show!
Loydson: If either of these men were smart, they'd try to end this fast with roll-ups. Save yourself for tomorrow.
DING DING DING
The bell sounds off, and Josh heads to the center of the ring. He's looking for a shoulder/collar tie-up. Phoenix flips him up, stomps his foot and grabs on a headlock. Phoenix goes for his headlock driver but Josh shoves him off and rolls him up. Winterborn kicks out but Josh rolls him up again. Winterborn kicks out again but Josh rolls him up a third time, I guess he listened to Loydson. Winterborn kicks out a third time. Josh grabs on a headlock and rushes into a bulldog. Josh covers, Winterborn kicks out. Josh drags Winterborn up his his throat looking for a chokeslam, but Winterborn jumps into a headlock and pulls Josh into a quick snap suplex. Float-over into his own cover, Josh kicks out.
Martinez: So far a match built on many kickouts. They are listening to you Phil.
Josh gets to his feet, But Winterborn kicks him in the chest with a shotgun dropkick. Josh flies backwards into the ropes, he comes out on a rebound with his own dropkick! Both men get up and start to pound away on the other with big strikes. Josh gets his hand around Winterborn's throat and drops him with a chokeslam! Josh drags Winterborn up, but Winterborn gets a quick spinning backfist in and then Falcon Arrow! Winterborn covers!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO... KICOUT BY JOSH GAVIN!
Loydson: Winterborn almost had the sneaky win there.
Winterborn pulls Josh up and hits another spinning backfist. Winterborn grabs on a headlock and goes for his driver but Josh shoves Winterborn off him into the ropes. Winterborn comes rushing in and Dragelix Kick!!! Josh covers!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 4 points... JOSH GAVIN!!!
Josh gets to his feet. He exits the ring blows a kiss at his family through the camera before holding up 4 fingers to symbolize his BORT points.
Martinez: Josh Gavin is up to 4 points now, with a big win over Phoenix Winterborn.
Loydson: Winterborn nearly had it but Josh refused to stay down.
We appear backstage with King Flip and Chanel getting medically cleared by several trained personnel. Flip smiles as he looks over at the cameraman approaching them.
King Flip: "Finally, you decide to come check up on the King of BRAWL. And for that I thank you. Speaking of thanks... I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to Cain Brodie... for giving me the beating of a fucking lifetime... AND EXPECTING ME TO STAY DOWN LIKE SOME CHUMP. Cain? Broooodie if you think you seen't thhhh--"
Much to the chagrin of several people trying to stop him, Flip stands up and... proceeds to face plant right on the ground.
Medical Personnel: "Oh, my goodness gracious!"
Two of the three that were trying to stop him rush out of the room as the third kneels over to check his vitals and get a response. This goes on nearly half a minute when those two return with a stretcher. The cameraman pans over to Chanel, who has only one person looking over her now. She looks like she might fall over herself, but she keeps her eyes down on Flip... and begins to smile.
Chanel: "You better hope he don't get up, six nine. 'Cause when he does... you're done."
The scene fades as personnel aid her in walking with those that are wheeling Flip to an ambulance.
MATCH FOUR
AUTUMN RAVEN (2) VS EZRA JAMES (4)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH
REF: MIKE MICHAELSON
Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block match. Introducing first, currently at 2 points. From Los Angeles, California & weighing in at 125 pounds... AUTUMN RAVEN!!!
The tron plays a scene of the hollywood walk of fame going by slowly, the shadow of a raven seen over each and every star that’s there. As you hear the lyrics ‘Your stars burned out for good, somewhere in Hollywood’, the shadow flies into the one star without a name, writing out Autumn’s name on it, the star turning to a dingy, grungy picture with graffiti written all over it.
As the first part of the song starts up, Autumn appears from backstage, slowly walking out, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp as she surveys the crowd with a cold smirk on her face. She stands there for a minute before making her way down the ramp slowly, walking once around the ring before sliding under the bottom rope and hopping to her feet, making her way to the corner to climb to the top ringpost. She flings her arms out to the side, laughing at the crowd.
Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 4 points. From The Birthplace of Fear and Loathing & weighing in at 220 pounds... EZRA JAMES!!!
The arena turns dark, the screens begin to glow a dark red which bathe the entire arena in the color that’s when the opening notes of Xandria's metal opera 'Nightfall' storm out over the PA system. Just as the guitar gets going out from the back steps out Ezra James, Violent M.D wearing his normal ring attire, as he begins to walk towards the ring he takes out a pair of blue surgical gloves and begins to put them on his hands making sure they are snug and flexible. A couple of fans reach out looking for contact and Ezra side steps the unwashed rabble giving them a glare followed by a glove covered finger point and some harsh words.
Martinez: Both Ezra and Raven have had some brutal matches in The BORT, one has to assume neither are 100% here tonight.
Loydson: I think that goes for the entire roster of this tournament, it has been a brutal tournament for the ages kids.
DING DING DING
The bell sounds off, but Autumn and Ezra just watch the other. Neither move, waiting and sizing up their opposition. Ezra makes the first steps towards the center of the ring, slowly and carefully. Autumn returns the actions and they come face to face. Raven smiles, but Ezra slams into her face with a nasty forearm. Autumn stumbles, Ezra jumps into a chop-block to the back of her left leg! Raven hits the canvas grabbing her leg and letting out a yelp. Ezra grabs Autumn's ankle and uses it to pull her up to one leg as she bounces around for balance. Ezra spins into a dragon-screw leg-whip and Autumn yells in pain. Ezra looks down on her, no emotions at all. He stomps her ankle and then rolls her onto her belly. He lifts her left leg up and slams it down on the knee. Raven crawls to the ropes and Mike Michaelson backs Ezra off. Raven pulls herself up and slaps some feelings into her leg, but Ezra jumps into an enziguri that catches the side of her leg and makes her drop back onto the ropes for support.
Martinez: Ezra is going after that leg hard in this one.
Raven limps off the ropes, and Ezra advances. He forearms her back into the ropes and then he grabs her leg and goes for another dragon-screw leg-whip. Autumn yells out in pain on the canvas. Ezra goes for a cover, Autumn kicks out with authority and crawls to the rope. Ezra advances, Raven shoves herself out of the way and goes for a roll-up! Ezra kicks out, but Raven tries another roll-up, this time her leg gives out. She gets to her feet and YOLOs it with a dropkick into the back of Ezra's head as he stands. Autumn pulls herself up and stomps on Ezra's elbow with her good leg. Then she kicks him in the ribs and stomps his shoulder. Autumn puts Ezra in a bit of an arm-lock as she tries to pull the shoulder from its joint.
Loydson: Ezra going after the legs, Autumn after the arm. More technical then I expected.
Autumn pulls Ezra up by his arm, and then she starts to pull on it and twist it. Ezra kicks Autumn in her left leg to ease some tension, Raven falls backwards. Ezra jumps into a knee-drop to Autumn's throat. She stumbles around the ring like a fish out of water. She cannot breath! Ezra drags Raven up by her hair and stomps down on the back of her leg over and over. Ezra slams Raven's face into the canvas repeatedly before finally grabbing on an Ankle Lock. Autumn refuses to tap, but Mike Michaelson has seen too much, he calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via ref stoppage & currently sitting at 6 points... EZRA JAMES!!!
Ezra James gets to his feet and calmly heads to the back, a smile on his face. Autumn Raven is helped up by medical staff but she shoves them off and yells at Mike Michaelson.
Martinez: Autumn seems fine now, but Mike made the right call stopping the match.
Loydson: I'd have to agree.
Backstage we see Moxie doing push-ups. He grunts a loud 50 and then jumps to his feet and starts shadow boxing. He pops his neck, bounces around a bit and hits a combo into an imaginary opponent. Brian Spade approaches Moxie but Moxie ignores him and heads to gorilla. Spade just stands there.
MATCH FIVE
JACKSON KNIGHT JR (4) VS MOXIE (2)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH
REF: MIKE MICHAELSON
Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block match. Introducing first, currently at 4 points. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania & weighing in at 200 pounds... JACKSON KNIGHT JR!!!
As the lights go out and the arena gets plunged into darkness, the spotlights focus on the center stage. The silence eventually gets broken when 'The Show' by the Roots starts playing, and after a short wait the fans start cheering as Jackson Knight Jr. steps onto the stage. Raising a finger to the sky, he takes a short pause before getting his game face on and stepping towards the ring. Sliding into the ring, he takes a dash towards the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring, launching himself to the top and posing for the fans for a few seconds before settling down into the corner.
Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 2 points. From London, England & weighing in at 202 pounds... MOXIE!!!
Bring Me The Horizon's 'Can You Feel My Heart' hits the speakers, prompting the lights to dance around the arena with an ominous red glow. As soon as the guitar riff kicks in, Moxie emerges from behind the curtain. He marches to the end of the stage and glares at the capacity crowd surrounding him. Raising his fist to his jaw, Moxie lets out a roar and walks down the aisle, ignoring the paying spectators.
He slides underneath the bottom rope and rises to his feet in the middle of the ring. Moxie faces the crowd before snapping back to face the camera, emphatically raising both clenched fists high above his head before slowly descending them in stereo to both sides of his jaw.
Martinez: Moxie is having this match despite doctors suggesting he take the rest of The BORT off.
Loydson: While rumors are floating around Jackson's leg is acting up again.. This could be an interesting match.
DING DING DING
Both Jackson and Moxie are cautious with the sound of the bell, neither want to make a careless mistake that costs them. Jackson eases into the center of the ring, looking for a shoulder/collar tie-up. Moxie engages Jackson, but tries to immediately go for the finger dislocation. Jackson shoves Moxie off with a pick and then he spins around into an elbow. Moxie stumbles back into his corner, Ezra jumps into a dropkick that lands flush. Mox falls to a seated position. Jackson pulls Mox up and elbows him in the jaw, grabs his wrist and goes for the Irish-whip. Moxie grabs Jackson back and uses the momentum to pull Jackson into a knee to the stomach. Jackson slumps over, Moxie lands a brutal European uppercut that flips Jackson inside out.
Martinez: They are beginning to get into the dangerous blows now.
Moxie drags Jackson up and grabs on a waist-lock, Moxie quickly throws Jackson into a German suplex. Jackson rolls through to his feet and grabs a headlock on Moxie as Moxie stands. Jackson flips Moxie into a snap-suplex! Jackson gets to his feet, and then he drops a knee on Moxie's head. Jackson makes the cover.
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO... KICKOUT BY MOXIE!
Loydson: Still too much in Moxie's tank to go out off a knee-drop.
Jackson pulls Mox up and sends him into the ropes, off the rebound Jackson jumps into an enziguri that drops Moxie into a deadweight heap. Jackson pulls Moxie up and pops himself onto Jackson's shoulders before flipping into a hurricanrana pin! J.E.K!
ONE!

TWO!!

TW.. JACKSON KNIGHT JR KICKS OUT
Jackson begins to stand but Moxie forearms him in the back of the head. Once, twice, three times! Directly into the base of his skull. Moxie drags Jackson up into a pumphandle and then drops him with a reverse STO! Moxie's Endgame! Cover!
ONE!

TWO!!

DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 4 points... MOXIE!!!
Moxie gets to his feet and flexes at the camera. He looks down on Jackson and then heads to the back. Jackson rubs his head.
Martinez: Moxie got the last life in this fight, but I feel if we see Jackson Vs Moxie again.. this could go a very different way.
Backstage in Grizzly Duggan's office we see The Duggman himself sitting at his desk. Grizzly smiles at the camera.
Duggan: Have a few things to mention here tonight. The first thing being Friday Night Rampage has got itself a brand new sponsor! That's right. Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is a special sponsor of the show tonight. I don't know if you know this about me, but I am a huge fan of JRPGs and Nocturne might be the GOAT. You don't get much more satisfying than the SMT Press-Turn system to rewards exploiting your opponent's weaknesses. I am ready to drain some serious hours into this re-release and I am thankful for Atlus in sponsoring Rampage.
Grizzly frowns.
Duggan: But that out of the way, I must address something less fun. Gideon Gage, destroying my car. I debated suspending or even firing him. But frankly the BORT is too important to let him fuck it up. So, I am just going to fine him another 100K dollars. 95K for my car, and another 5K for the pain and humiliations Brian Spade suffered at Gage's hands.
MATCH SIX
DAVID MILLER VS ACE KING
SINGLES MATCH - NON TITLE
REF: PIERCE PATTERSON
Chriqui: The following match is a non-title champion vs champion match. Introducing first.. From Long Beach, California & weighing in at 235 pounds. The EWC CW Broadcast Champion... DAVID MILLER!!!
As the aggressive cadence of Damnation Plan's “Judgement Day” rips through the speakers, the lights shift to rapid strobes as David Miller marches out from behind the curtain, head bowed and fists clenched. A sudden twist cracks the bones in his neck as he starts down towards the ring, paying no attention to the mixed reaction of the crowd. Reaching the floor, he climbs the ring steps and ducks between the ropes, silently pacing the inside of the ring while peeling off his jacket. Tossing it aside he moves to his corner and turns, locking his eyes on the stage as he awaits the bell.
Chriqui: And his opponent. From Las Vegas, Nevada & weighing in at 235 pounds. He is The EWC Undisputed Champion... ACE KING!!!
"Ace of Spades" rips through the Blue Cross Arena, and the crowd cheers as pyro goes off in time with the opening drum beats. Ace King then calmly steps out onto the stage, his eyes narrowed and focused on the ring.
Ace rolls his head around the back of his neck for a few seconds before focusing back in on the ring, then makes his way down the ramp, interacting with a few fans along the way. He stops a few steps short of the ring, then dives in under the bottom rope as red pyro explodes from each turnbuckle. Ace pauses on his knees in the middle of the ring for a moment before getting to his feet, his attention locked in on his opponent.
Martinez: This is a champion vs champion match, and a bit of a rubber match.. But if David Miller gets a win here tonight, one has to assume they will have a rematch down the road for the Undisputed Championship.
Loydson: Logically speaking, I think you could make that assumption.
DING DING DING
The bell sounds off and our two champions look at each other, both with a look of determination in their eyes. The crowd chants loudly for Ace King on his home turf, but David Miller is also being cheered quite loudly. Our champs advance on each other, they get into a shoulder/collar tie-up and after an extended period neither man can get the edge.. that is until David Miller is able to shove Ace back into the ropes and grab on a headlock. David sends Ace towards the other ropes off the headlock and on the rebound David catches Ace with a back-body drop. King is to his feet pretty quickly, but David gives him a back elbow to the mouth. David grabs Ace's wrist and pulls him into a quick clothesline. He maintains wrist control and stands Ace up, flooring him with another short arm clothesline. David does one more clothesline, and then he grabs a kneeling Ace into a waist-lock and pulls him back into a belly-to-back suplex. David makes the cover, King is out before one.
David drags King up in a headlock, he drops the hold and elbow's king in the back of the head. King stumbles a bit, David comes in with a knife-edge chop to King's back which stumbles King into a corner. David advances and hits another clean knife edge chop into King's chest. David backs King up onto the top turnbuckle. David grabs a front-facelock and climbs up the turnbuckle himself, looking for a superplex?! Ace King powers out and shoves David off the turnbuckle. David is back up to his feet but Ace jumps over to the top rope and springboards backwards into a moonsault on David! Both men are back up, Ace floors David with a European uppercut that sends David backwards a few steps. Ace advances and SLINGBLADE! David is twisted around and lands on the back of his neck. King gets to his feet, he rubs his chest and sees David's last chop busted him open. David gets to his feet and rubs the back of his neck.
Martinez: These two champions are giving their all in the ring right now.
David advances on Ace, but Ace kicks him in the leg with a side-shoot kick. David stumbles a smidgen. Another European uppercet from King sends David back into the ropes. King kicks David in the side of his leg and then he push kicks David directly in the sterum to send David over the top to the outside! David hits the padded concrete hard, but pulls himself up. Ace King comes in with the dropkick between the ropes but David moves out of the way. Ace lands on his feet, David comes in with another chop to Ace's chest. David grabs Ace's wrist and rips him into another short-arm clothesline. David pulls Ace up and then he Irish-whips Ace right into the steel steps! Ace gets up to a knee, David Miller comes in and knees Ace right up under his jaw with a stiff knee lift.
Loydson: DEAR GOD
David drags Ace up by his face and goes for another knife edge chop, but Ace ducks down to his knees and David's hand hits the steel ring post. David grabs his hand and takes a few steps back. King grabs David into a front-face lock and spins off the apron into a tornado DDT on the steel steps. David gets to his feet and eats a European uppercut from King. King jumps onto the steps and then jumps into David, catching him with a front-flip Piledriver! Wild Card! Ace climbs up the stairs and rolls back into the ring just as our ref counts 10!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via count-out... ACE KING!!!
Ace pulls himself up on the ropes, his adrenaline rush now gone. Outside the ring medical staff help David who was just dropped on his head. Ace is handed his Undisputed Championship and he holds it high into the air.
Martinez: That was an absolute war between two of the best we have in the EWC.
Loydson: David Miller may have lost tonight, but it was by count out. I think he's got a solid claim to face Ace King at Scars & Stripes for the Undisputed Championship if King is still champ after Hardcore Revolution.
MATCH SEVEN
RYO HAZAMA (6) VS SHAKER JONES (0)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH
REF: MIKE MICHAELSON
Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block match. Introducing first, current at 6 points. From Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan & weighing in at 235 pounds... RYO HAZAMA!!!
"My War" by SHINSEI KAMATTE CHAN goes off like an explosion, drawing the crowd into a hateful frenzy. The camera cannot find where Ryo Hazama is. When he appears, it's because he's hanging off one of the production rafters. The Avaricious One gazes down upon the audience, a clear act from his egocentric mind. Without no warning, he spreads his arms, where bursts of colorful smoke pops from several gebs scattered among the arena--scaring the audience members. With a long cackle, Hazama finds his way down to the stage and he makes his way down the ramp. As he does, he massages his jawline, taking up the camera's attention. He then rises onto the nearest turnbuckle and poses again, soaking into the atmosphere. He furthers this pleasure by laying across the turnbuckle and slinking down to the mat like a snake. He massages the mat before rising up creepily. From there, he eyes the nearest camera, not at all focused on the audience and their baleful noise.
Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 0 points. From BOSTON, MASSACHUSETS & weighing in at 230 pounds... SHAKER JONES!!!
'Rudie Can't Fail' – The Clash sounds off. Shaker Jones is seen heading towards the ring from the crowd. He claps hands with fans as he goes.
Martinez: The unbeaten Ryo Hazama vs the yet to get a win Shaker Jones. This could be the biggest upset of the tournament tonight folks.
Loydson: This kid could shock the world.
DING DING DING
The bell sounds off and a hyper aggressive Shaker Jones FLOORS Ryo Hazama backwards into his corner with a quick running flying forearm smash! Shaker keeps smashing his forearm into Ryo's face until Mike Michaelson backs him up. Shaker backs up into the ropes and then he comes into Ryo with a Whipsmash lariat sending Ryo over the top rope! Shaker exits the ring to the apron. He sizes Ryo up, then he jumps down onto Ryo putting Ryo's head between his legs before flipping over into a piledriver! COWABUNGA!!!!
Martinez: Shaker Jones is throwing everything he has at Hazama!
Shaker drags Hazama up and sends him into the steps with an Irish-whip. Shaker drags Hazama up again, but Hazama catches him off guard with a stiff right hand! Shaker stumbles back, he comes forward into a QUICK Satori knee strike from nowhere! Shaker crumbles onto the apron. Ryo falls back into a seated position on the stairs.
Loydson: Both men have hit some serious big moves already in this match, I think it's already over!
Ryo pulled himself up and rolled into the ring. Shaker followed, Ryo hit the ropes and came in with another Satori right on Shaker's jaw. Ryo dragged Shaker up by his hair onto his shoulders... dropped into LET IT DIE! Ryo makes the cover!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 8 points... RYO HAZAMA!!!
Ryo pets Shaker, and then heads up the ramp to the back while smiling and laughing. Shaker is helped up by medical staff but can walk to the back by his self.
Martinez: Shaker came into this one hot and honestly had Ryo looking worried.
Loydson: I think this was the best we've seen the kid look on FN'R so far honestly.
MATCH EIGHT
ORION WENTWORTH (0) VS QUEEN MELODY MALONE (6)
BORT A-BLOCK MATCH FOR EWC UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
REF: TOYO YASAHIRO
Chriqui: The following match is a BORT A-Block match and it is for the EWC United States Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first, currently at 0 points. From Houston, Texas & weighing in at 139 pounds. The challenger... ORION WENTWORTH!!!
"Remember Everything" by Savannah Dexter suddenly starts playing as Orion Samson steps out onto the stage with her wife Isabelle right by her side. They stand at thee top, look out at the audience before descending down the ramp. When Orion reaches the bottom, she gives Isabelle a kiss before slipping into the ring. She stands on the turnbuckle while posing for the fans.
Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 6 points. From San Diego, California & weighing in at 145 pounds. The United States Champion in her 5th defense ... QUEEN MELODY MALONE!!!
The lights dim, but don’t go dark before the soft words of Billie Eilish’s “You Should See Me In A Crown” begin to play over the P.A. system. Melody comes out from backstage with her crown upon her head and her personal retainer Rory Hyland in tow. She’s unflinching to the crowd’s expression as she comes down the entrance ramp. Rory gets onto the apron, holding the ropes open for Melody to climb through without losing her crown. As Melody climbs into the ring, she gives the crowd a sarcastic smile before she relinquishes the crown to Rory and prepares for her match.
Martinez: Orion Wentworth has the opportunity here to really shock the world if she wins the EWC US Championship.
Loydson: And that won't be easy, not with Melody Malone holding it.
DING DING DING
The bell dings and we are underway. Melody Malone smiles at Orion, she looks at Rory and signals this will be over soon. But no sooner can she look back at Orion than Orion jumps into a dropkick that floors the champion! Melody Malone hits the corner hard, she stumbles out onto Orion's shoulders and gets dumped into a Samoan drop! Orion gets to her feet and hits the ropes as Malone stands, before crashing into Malone with a second dropkick! Orion drags Melody up by her hair while forearming her in the face the entire time. Orion grabs on a bear-hug and pulls Malone into a belly-to-belly suplex. Cover from Orion!
ONE!
.
.
.
TW.. KICKOUT BY MELODY MALONE
Martinez: Orion is bringing the fight to our champion here.
Orion picked Malone back up by her hair before dragging her onto her shoulders for a second Samoan drop. Rory is outside yelling for Malone to end it. Orion drags Malone up and snap powerslams her back down for another cover, Melody Malone cannot even think. Orion mounts Malone and begins to punch her in the head repeatedly with Lou Thesz style blows. Mike Michaelson backs Orion off but she shoves past to rush at Malone with a Cosmo Smash, Malone moves but Orion catches some of the move and goes for a cover!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!... KICKOUT BY MELODY MALONE
Loydson: Orion is absolutely squashing the Queen right now?!
Orion lets out a scream of frustration. She drags Malone up to her knees, and then goes to the other side of the ring, waiting for Malone to stand up. Malone stands and Orion rushes her for another Cosmo Smash, but Malone jumps into a Crowning Achievement double knee facebreaker! Orion flies off her feet with the impact. She uses the ropes to stand up, Melody Malone floors her and clotheslines her over the top rope! Melody climbs onto the apron and then she jumps outside of the ring into an Off With Their Head! Orion's jaw collides with Malone's shoulder and she's flipped over on the impact. Malone drags Orion up and rolls her into the ring before making a cover.
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via pinfall & currently sitting at 8 points. AND STILL EWC UNITED STATES CHAMPION... MELODY MALONE!!!
As the reigning US Champion looks down upon the handiwork she created, she'd hold the title high with a satisfied smile on her face.
Martinez: Melody retains the gold once more, and looks downright unhinged after running through her latest challenges in Orion Wentworth.
Loydson: The Queen has been showing her most destructive and dangerous side as of late, and you'll be hard pressed to find anybody that can dethrone her.
Slinging the belt over her shoulder, she'd make her way to the ropes. But before getting through, her music would be cut short and replaced with 'The Show' by The Roots starting to play on the PA system, and quickly thereafter Jackson Knight Jr. stepping out from behind the curtain.
Martinez: Speaking of challengers, there's Melody's next challenger. Who himself has come from a grueling match against Moxie, and from the looks of him, he's not looking for a night to rest!
Jackson quickly raises his hand to let the music die down, before moving the microphone to his lips.
Knight: I hope you remember me, Melody. For the past three months I have been playing one match over and over in my head, the night where I made my debut on FNR 480... The night I almost beat you fair and square in the middle of the ring. And i'm sure that you know as well as I do, that if that match hadn't been a triple threat, that I would've stood tall on my debut over the greatest wrestler on Rampage today.
The crowd would cheer and start a small chant for Jackson, but he'd continue as quickly as his eyes were locked at the person holding the biggest gold that was available on Rampage.
Knight: And I have seen you these past three months, becoming all the more desperate to hold onto that gold. Hold onto your title of the baddest bitch on Rampage and the most dangerous wrestler this brand has on offer. Hell, most of the BORT has seemingly been you devoting your time to trying to make every contender be unable to walk away from the ring after you're done with them; Shaker, Raven, Moxie, and now Orion. All of them have seen a Melody that is prepared to destroy careers to keep hers alive...
Smiling behind his microphone, Jackson's eyes lit up.
Knight: To others, that makes you a badass. To me it just tells me you're scared to lose that gold, to lose your spot. And you know, I'm going to be the guy to take it from you tomorrow night. You can try to bloody me, and i'll bloody you right back. You can try to keep me down, but you'll never keep me down for long enough to win. I got close on my first night, but tomorrow night I won't have debut jitters and I won't be as inexperienced as I was then. I know what you have on store, I know what you can do, and what i've seen... I can take, I can beat. And not even your most destructive side will stop me from taking your gold away from you, and taking your spot at the top of the Rampage mountain. This Knight is going to dethrone you.
The crowd once more cheers loudly at the thought of a dethroned Queen Melody. But the champion herself looked more animated than ever, shouting at someone to bring her a microphone so she could say her piece back at the upstart challenger. Once she finally does have one, she'd let out her own laugh, before leaning over the ropes.
Malone: You think you can take THIS title away from ME? Jackson, I didn't get lucky when you made your debut. You got lucky just getting close to a win, and you're completely delusional thinking that a peasant like you stands a chance against YOUR QUEEN... And if you think that I can't keep you down, if you think you're arrogant enough in being able to get up from whatever I can throw at you, how about we raise the stakes a little bit. You versus me, in a Last Person Standing match, tomorrow night. I'll make sure you won't walk out of my show as champion, and you can go back to Philly dreaming of your 'almosts', because almost will always be the most you've ever accomplished...
Dropping the microphone, Melody gets out of the ring and walks up the ramp defiantly with her belt prominently over her shoulder. Almost as if to goad Jackson into trying something now, rather than in the match set for tomorrow night. On top of the ramp, they'd stare daggers at each others for just a few seconds before the champion proudly walks away with her head held high.
Martinez: What an announcement we heard just now. Both champion and challenger just fought grueling matches, and tomorrow they'll up the ante by fighting a last person standing match!
Loydson: Such a match will be for more than just the gold or bragging rights, Phil. Even if either of them win, it might be the last two points they'll bring in for the BORT, because two intense matches surely won't come without a hard physical toll!
Martinez: Well, whatever it is, tomorrow night's match has become significantly more exciting to look forward to! Will we see a challenger dethrone the Queen, or will we see our Champion continue her reign of terror on the division?!
MATCH NINE
IGGY SWANGO (4) VS ASRIEL BUZZARD (5)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH FOR EWC HBO BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP
REF: TOYO YASAHIRO
Chriqui: The following match is a BORT B-Block match and it is for the EWC HBO Broadcast Championship. Introducing first, currently at 4 points. From The Pleasure Palace & weighing in at 148 pounds. The Challenger... IGGY SWANGO!!!
The guitar strums of "Moonage Daydream" echo through the arena as the lights dim low. Strobe lights begin to flash on stage. Soon, Iggy Swango walks from behind the curtain as smog engulfs her. She pauses, adjusts her sun glasses, before making her way down the ramp
Its a slow deliberate walk, as she is clearly vibing to the music. After entering the ring, She looks up to the ceiling, and throws her hands up in a classic rock and roll pose
Iggy starts bouncing on the stage and rocking out with an air bass playing along with the music before making her way down the ramp. Iggy rolls under the bottom rope and pops up on her knees in the middle of the ring. She slowly stands her to her feet before raising her hands into the air once more.
Chriqui: And her opponent, currently at 5 points. From Hill City, Kansas & weighing in at 196 pounds. The HBO Broadcast Champion in his 6th defense... ASRIEL BUZZARD!!!
“IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?”
As the first notes of Machine Head pound through the arena, images of the Great Plains appear on the tron, mixed with pictures of crosses and churches. Spotlights flash around the arena but focus on the stage as the drums and heavier riff starts and Asriel Buzzard appears through the curtain.
“COME ON!”
He stands at the top of the ramp, eyes closed and fists clenched in front of his chest for a few seconds. After opening his eyes, he starts to march to the ring, glaring at the fans putting their hands out over the barrier. He circles the ring twice after arriving at ringside.
“THE PARANOIA, DROPS ME TO MY KNEES”
Asriel walks up the ring steps, dashes along the apron and climbs to the top rope.
“CAUSE NO FLAG CAN MEAN BRAVERY WHEN BLOODIED BY SLAVERY, THE REBEL, A DEVIL, DISGUISED AS A SAVIOR”
On the top rope, Asriel holds his arms aloft then brings them to his chest where he holds them together briefly before leaping down into the ring and removing his jacket.
Martinez: Buzzard and Swango, they've developed a bit of a blood feud for each other and frankly this match could end very poorly for either.
Loydson: I think it could end very poorly for BOTH of them Omar.
DING DING DING
With the sound of the bell, Iggy and Buzzard waste no time rushing into each other. Buzzard punches Iggy. He goes for another punch and she grabs his arm before spinning into a Dragon-screw arm-whip. Shades of StrangleMania! Iggy drags Buzzard up by his arm, and then she spins around into a hip-attack that takes him off his feet. Iggy grabs on a front face-lock and drags Buzzard up to his feet and then hits a great snap suplex. Iggy drags Buzzard up, grabs his arm and goes for another dragon-screw but Buzzard kicks her in the knee-cap and then smashes his knee into her stomach. Iggy stumbles backwards, Buzzard jumps into the Redeemer but Iggy hits the deck to avoid it. Iggy crawls between Buzzard's legs and rolls out of the ring. Buzzard turns around but Iggy grabs his ankle and pulls him down to his ass before dragging him out.
Martinez: This one has spilled to the outside!
Iggy pulls Buzzard up and wails into him with a European uppercut. Buzzard answers back with his own. They do it up the ramp, not a care in the world for Toyo's count. Iggy goes for another European uppercut but Buzzard ducks under it, he grabs Iggy's wrist and spins her into a backslide roll up. Iggy rolls through but REDEEMER SUPERKICK! Iggy falls out on the ramp. Toyo is up to 9, Buzzard rushes back to the ring and quickly rolls in and then back out to restart the count. Buzzard makes his way back to Iggy who is now standing thanks to a barricade. Buzzard makes his way to Iggy and floors her with a European uppercut! "LEAVE IGGY THE FUCK ALONE" a rather ugly neckbearded fan yells at Buzzard as they throw a beer into his face. Buzzard stumbles back, blinded from the beer. Toyo stops his count and rushes to check on Buzzard. Iggy grabs Buzzard in a front face-lock regardless and then she lifts him into a delayed DDT.. NOISE POLLUTION! Both champion and challenger are down, Toyo checks on both before starting his count.
Loydson: This could be another draw for Buzzard in the tournament!
Iggy Swango rolls on top of Buzzard, she begins to punch down on him. Ignoring Toyo's count. Buzzard is busted open, and he lets out a yell for pain as his head burns against the alcohol and fresh wound. Iggy drags Buzzard up, Toyo is at 6. She's got enough time to drag Buzzard to the ring and get the win... but Buzzard hoists Iggy up and then he spins around and spinebusters them both off the stage through a table! They hit some pyro that wasn't used earlier and there's a mini explosion! Toyo comes rushing over, he calls for the bell. He cannot see Iggy or Buzzard in the smoke. RING THE DAMN BELL!!!
DING DING DING
Chriqui: Your winner via ref stoppage... A draw! Both shall receive one point. And STILL EWC HBO Broadcast Champion... ASRIEL BUZZARD!!!
Martinez: If he can even wrestle anymore. OH MY GOD!
The smoke clears and we see Iggy Swango and Buzzard pulling each other up. Their clothing burned, their faces bloody. Iggy and Buzzard hold each other up while punching each other. Medical staff quickly rush to both and pull them apart to check them. Neither appear to be hurt from the explosion, although a broken piece of table cut Iggy's cheek. Their clothes seemed to have saved them from burns. Buzzard and Iggy want at each other but with 3 refs and medical staff holding them back, they eventually give up. Buzzard yells for his title.
Martinez: Oh my GOD. They are lucky to not have been seriously hurt there!
Loydson: No kidding. Toyo made the right call stopping this one. Even if they act like they are fine now, they are both probably totally messed up. This rivalry is insanity, pure insanity. Take the 1 point and move on Kid, don't end your career over this.
MAIN EVENT | MATCH TEN
GIDEON GAGE (5) VS SAMANTHA HAMILTON (6)
BORT B-BLOCK MATCH
REF: TOYO YASAHIRO
Chriqui: The following match is our main event of the evening. Introducing first, currently at 5 points. From Topeka, Kansas & weighing in at 273 pounds... GIDEON GAGE!!!
Gideon Gage comes out onto the stage. He barely even pays attention to the fans all booing him as he heads down the ramp. He enters the ring, and roars out at the crowd as pyro goes off from the ring posts.
Chriqui: And his opponent, currently at 6 points. From Ft. Lauderdale, FL & weighing in at 145 pounds... SAMANTHA "THE TITANESS" HAMILTON!!!
'Indestructible' by Disturbed blares over the PA system. As it does, we see the forms of The Titaness, her husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter, and 'The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love all standing at the top of the ramp. The Titaness saunters down the ramp, flanked by Joseph on one side and Tommy on the other.
When she finally gets to the ropes, the Titaness will slip through the middle and top ropes, waiting patiently the bell to soudn.
Martinez: After that draw with Iggy Vs Buzzard... whoever wins this match will find themselves sitting pretty at the top of the BORT B Block with either 8 or 7 points.
Loydson: This is a very important B Block match here in the later stages of the tournament.
DING DING DING
Samantha Hamilton is quick to make her way to Gideon, kick him in the leg and then back off as he lunges at her. Sam makes her way in, another kick and then she backs off again. Gideon is raging as he charges again, Sam ducks under his lunge and hits the ropes. She rebounds off towards him and SPEAR! NO! Gideon flips her over and drops her on her head with a powerbomb! Gideon goes to stomp Sam's head into the canvas, Tommy love pulls her out of the ring and Gideon literally STEPS THROUGH THE FUCKING RING!!!
Martinez: DEAR GOD
Tommy and Sam chat outside the ring, Gideon reaches over the top rope and grabs a fistful of Sam's hair! He drags her up
onto the apron and then pulls her into the ring with a hair-grab German suplex thingy! IDFK! IT WAS COOL THOUGH! Sam gets to her feet, Gideon comes in and almost takes her head off with a SGS lariat! Gideon drags Sam up by her hair, but Sam stomps Gideon in his stomack backing him off. Sam kicks him in the knee and then elbows him between the eyes. Gideon shoves her off into the ropes, and then he POUNCES HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! Sam hits HARD on the outside, Tommy Love is quickly to her dumping water on her to try and help her. Sam tells Tommy plan B before getting up and rolling into the ring.
Loydson: Plan B? I'd need some of that after an evening with Sam!
Sam kicks Gideon in the stomach again, and then she forearms him. Sam rolls. Gideon swings and Sam ducks. More kicks and punches from Sam. Gideon swings and she backs up. Sam is at the ropes, with nowhere to run. Gideon rushes her, bloodlust in his eyes... Sam drops down and grabs the top rope, Gideon flies over Sam and crashes to the outside. Sam stands up and she's in Toyo's way so he cannot see on the outside as Gideon stands out TOMMY LOVE HAS A TASER AND SNAPS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! Gideon collapses to the padded concrete, and doesn't move! Toyo counts!

Sam quickly rolls out of the ring. She collects Tommy Love and they head for the back. Gideon Gage is yelling at Toyo. He's FUMING. Gideon Gage grabs Toyo by the throat and chokeslams him to the padded concrete. Gideon rolls Toyo into the ring, he picks Toyo up and chokeslams him THROUGH the ring with the aid of the hole from his stomp. Some security enter the ring and Gideon knocks them both out with ease. Gideon drags them both up, gets them onto his shoulder and floors them with FINISHER ENGAGED! Gideon is yelling at Sam, he wants her to come face him. Yelling Duggan needs to restart this match. Yelling Duggan can take his 100K fine and fuck himself. Gideon is going insane, the camera cuts back to commentary, but Gideon can sense he's not the center of attention anymore and forces the camera to cut back to him and we see he's LITERALLY TEARING THE RING APART! Gideon then rushes to the commentary team and punches Martinez in the face, Grizzly Duggan comes rushing out from the back. Gideon stops his rampage. He smiles at Duggan, gives Loydson a pet on his head. And then he exits peacefully. Grizzly stands looking confused and maybe even lowkey terrifed of Gideon's ability to flip the switch off and on into insanity mode. Duggan makes a sign with his hand to cut the feed.
