Announcer: Damon Reid
Senior Referee: Niklaus Forbes
Other Referees: Stefan Elliot & Jessika Smalls
Backstage Interviewer: Jenna Salvatore
While 'Howlin' For You' by The Black Keys blares over the speakers connected to someone's aux cord somewhere, a multi colored lightshow using an app on someone's phone lights up the sky in a display that gets the fans on the our makeshift bleacher seats screaming the EWC PRIME namesake. Brilliant blue smoke from a gender reveal popper swirls over the cheering crowd, whipping them up into a near-frenzy of excitement at the show to come. We see all kinds of sights from a selfie station to an EWC Slip N Slide to Jordan Sharpe randomly cooking up hot dogs and everything in between.
Cameras flash all around the arena as the X-Tron cycles through Prime's roster. Callie Clark, Dalilah Ashe, "Headhuntress" Aiya, 'The S-Factor' Scorpio, Aeon Khronos, Tyler Quest, Kyle Gautier, Saidie Sharpe, Amber Lisa Hall, ViVi, Timothy Deacon, The Omega Commandos, Peach Gelato, Yoshisharu Kubo and Monolith, The Showtime Broadcast Champion Bosa and The Indy Champion Narumi Tsutsumi are all featured.
After one final pan over the crowd, we get some shots of a few of the signs being held up by the fans ..
PRIME WAS ROBBED AT PARABELLUM
JACK SEVERN = NEXT INDY CHAMP
I HOPE SUMMER NEVER ENDS!
I LOVE BONE SUCKIN' SAUCE
BEAST MODE BBQ!
SHINIJOSHI RULES THE ROOST
The camera centers on ringside at the Hart Family House, fans stand up, pumping their fists and cheering. One last round of firecrackers blast out now, and we turn our attention to Marshall Evans and Hayley Kushnir, ready for a summer vacay cookout ....
Evans: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is crazy! We have one wild crowd here at The Hart Famiy abode here in Calgary, I don't know why they let us do this but we've got a full night of EWC endorsed backyard wrestling!
Kushnir: Ohh my god Marshall, this vibe! Someone grill me up a burger because it's a Backyard Brawl-B-Q! Can you believe this?!
Evans: And what a crowd we've gathered for this one. This lined top to bottom with awesome matches. We're gonna open it up with Jack Severn making his return to the blue brand after a triumphant win at Parbellum, and he'll be taking on Amber Lisa Hall in a great match. Then we'll have his Parabellum partner, the also victorious Callie Clark in singles competition against Timothy Deacon. Brand Warfare ain't over though, CW Broadcast Champion Sally Talfourd is coming over from Paramount to take on Vivi in match three and the now former EWC Tag-Team Champions The Southern Express is coming over for a big tag match against Kyle Gautier and Peach Gelato.
Kushnir: After that, we'll have a singles match between Yoshiharu Kubo and Kobro Commando. Then it'll be a non-title match as our Broadcast Champ Bosa takes on Aeon Khronos! Then it'll be TRASHCANS 'TIL WE DIE between Xavier Reid and Scorpio in what's going to be an amazing match-up and finally our main event is a Trios Tornado Tag Anything Goes Backyard Wrestling Match! Dalilah Ashe and Damage Inc facing off with SHINIJOSHI, Megumi, Headhuntress Aiya and our Indy Champion Narumi Tsutsumi! Wow that is a mouthful!
Evans: How about a mouthful of delicious BBQ with some Bone Suckin' Sauce!?
Kushnir: Ohh right, this episode and all of it's incredible matches are brought to you with limited commercial interruption by Bone Suckin' Sauce!
Evans: Okay this is going to be amazing, I cannot wait to see who's getting their hand raised tonight this is a summer spectacle like EWC has never seen!
Kushnir: We'll get to that and so much more, right after we tell you about EWC TV!

Only to turn around and give them to Dimitri!
Jack mocks the crowd for booing him as he enters through the ropes. Once in the center of the ring, he relishes in the crowd's hatred, mocking their hometown hero Bret Hart further by mimicking Bret’s pose, before taking his jacket off and throwing it at the referee. Jack grabs the microphone from Damon Reid before he can make any sort of formal announcement.
Jack: HELLLLOOOO CALGARY! The following squash match is set for one fall! First, already in the ring, from somewhere FAR better than anywhere in Canada, accompanied by his GOOD FRIEND Dimitri Graves, weighing in at a sexy 220 lbs and standing at half a foot taller than his opponent, THE PRIME TIME CATALYST OF THE EWC, THE MAN WHO SINGLEHANDEDLY TOOK YEARS OFF OF ACE KING’S CAREER, THE BEST THERE WAS, THE BEST THERE IS, AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE, AAAAAND NUMBER ONEEEEEE CONTENDER FOR SOME INDY BULLSHIT, JACK SSSSSEVERRRRRRNNNNN!!! Now hit my tomato can’s music!
‘Run It’ comes blasting over the speakers as Amber stands on the top of the ramp with her leather jacket on with a smirk across her face. She comes out playing to the crowd a bit before she climbs inside of the ring. She takes off her jacket and her smile fades when she hears Jack’s ring announcement.
Jack: And my opponent, from probably the poor area of Brooklyn, standing at a half a foot shorter than me-
Amber grabs the microphone from Jack’s hand!
Amber: The woman about to KICK Jack Severn’s ass, from Brooklyn, New York, standing at a mean 5’6 and weighing at a lean 135 lbs, AMBER LISA HALL! Now let’s Run It!
Amber hands the microphone back to Damon Reid as the bell rings--
DING DING DING
And Jack immediately rolls out of the ring and grabs the microphone back.
Jack: Hang on, hang on! Remember what I said, Amber! I’m a man of my word, and I’m here to give you a free shot.
Jack slides back into the ring, putting his hands behind his back and closing his eyes.
Jack: Come on, hit whatever move you want. I won’t bite.
Amber raises an eyebrow, puzzled. She paces around Jack, but eventually just shakes her head at the crowd, deciding not to take a cheap shot. Jack opens his eyes and laughs.
Jack: That’s what I thought-
Suddenly, Amber rolls Jack up! Dimitri starts yelling at the referee.
ONE...
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Evans: Amber nearly stole one there!!
Kushnir: That serves Jack right for his little prematch antics!
Jack just barely kicks out, a look of utter shock on his face. Amber smirks as the crowd cheers, knowing she came *this* close to beating Jack in record time. Amber goes for the Smack In Your Face (spinning backfist) but Jack ducks and moves behind Amber for a German suplex, but Amber plants her feet firmly on the ground and elbows Jack in the head to get out of it. She then runs to the ropes and bounces off of them to POUNCE JACK! Jack falls ass over teakettle onto the mat and he rolls out of the ring to get a breather and consult his manager, BUT NO! AMBER DIVES OUT WITH SHOOTING FOR THE STARS! Both Jack and Dimitri are taken out as a fired up Amber grabs the Bret Hart sunglasses from Dimitri. She puts them on and poses in front of the camera, putting her fingers on her cheeks, before handing the shades off to the child dismissed by Jack earlier.
Amber throws Jack back into the ring by his hair and climbs up to the second rope, attempting the Big Drop moonsault, but Jack gets his knees up and rolls Amber into a small package!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Evans: Jack thought he had her there, smart roll-up.
Kuhnir: Don't give him too much credit, we'll never hear the end of it.
Jack works quickly to take advantage of the prone Amber stomping and elbowing down on to her legs. He grabs her legs and tries to twist them into a Sharpshooter, but she kicks him off! Amber uses the ropes to get up, but just as she does, Jack hits her with a running European uppercut, followed by a lariat knocking her over the top rope! Jack slides out of the ring and leans Amber against the barricade. He shushes the crowd and prepares to chop her, but Amber catches his hand and switches positions with him! Amber fires chops at Jack, who shrieks in pain as his chest turns red. Amber turns around right into Dimitri, who pleads with Amber to go easy on his client. Amber smirks, and grabs Dimitri! She opens his shirt up, wrecking his pink suit, and FIRES CHOPS ONTO HIM! The crowd cheers as Dimitri finally gets what he deserves. This gives Jack enough time to recover, however, and he hits Amber over the head! Jack shoves Amber into the ring post! He grabs Amber’s leg and SLAMS it into the solid steel steps as the crowd boos and throws trash at Jack.
Jack pulls Amber into the ring and locks in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring! The crowd claps and cheers for Amber as she fights with every fiber in her being to crawl to the ropes! Jack screams for her to tap but she refuses! Amber finally gets to the rope…
AND NO! Jack pulls her back away to the center of the ring! Amber struggles not to tap… SO SHE PUNCHES JACK IN THE KNEE REPEATEDLY! Jack finally lets go of the Sharpshooter out of pain. Amber crawls to the corner of the ring and uses the ropes to stand up, while Jack does the same on the other side of the ring. They stare at each other and slowly walk to the center of the ring, talking trash. They begin firing back and forth strikes to each other, showing their fighting spirit! Amber finally hits a hard headbutt and makes Jack stagger back into the corner. Amber takes a second to catch her breath in the ring, as Jack fiddles with the turnbuckle pad. Amber goes to hit a running splash on Jack in the corner, but Jack dives out of the way and Amber hits her head on the now exposed turnbuckle! Jack lifts Amber onto his shoulders… AND HITS HER WITH A RUNNING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! Jack covers!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! KICK OUT!
Evans: He can't put Amber here away tonight!
Kushnir: She's gonna run this thing all night long!
Jack & Dimitri can’t believe it! Jack huddles towards Dimitri in the corner of the ring, talking to him about match strategy as Amber is checked on by the ref. But wait… Dimitri just passed something off to Jack! Jack stuffs a weight into his knee pad and lines Amber up… AND HE RUNS TO HIT AMBER WITH THE SILENCER! BUT WAIT- NO! AMBER DODGES! SHE CATCHES JACK AND HITS HIM WITH THE FATBACK SUPLEX! Amber aims as Jack slowly gets up… AND SHE HITS THE SMACK IN YOUR FACE BACKFIST! Amber takes the weight out of Jack’s knee pad and throws it at Dimitri, who cowers in fear! And just to cap it all off, Amber, even with her injured leg, goes to the top rope and hits a very shaky Big Drop moonsault!
ONE…
TWO…
THR… NO! DIMITRI PUT JACK’S FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Evans: Unbelievable. Amber had him there!
Kushnir: Are you surprised that Jack would cheat?!
The ref scolds Dimitri for interfering like that as Amber can’t believe what else to do to put Jack away. Jack then grabs something Dimitri discreetly passed off to him while arguing with Amber and the referee, and as Amber grabs him by the hair, he CRACKS Amber in the face with a brass knuckles punch! He quickly tosses the brass knucks away as the ref looks back to the action, and he hits Amber with the Chaos Crusher! Jack stands up and starts to put Amber’s legs into the Sharpshooter… but Dimitri shakes his head at him, and so Jack shifts his strategy. Jack wraps his arm under Amber’s neck and flips her over, choking her out!
AMBER FIGHTS FOR HER LAST BREATH…
BUT NO! THE REF STOPS THE MATCH AS AMBER PASSES OUT TO THE TSUTSUMI RAPPU!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via referee stoppage… Jack Severn!
Jack Severn lets go of the submission just a little late after the bell rings as Dimitri rolls into the ring and raises Jack’s arm. The two roll out of the ring and walk to the back together as the crowd boos. Medical staff help Amber out of the ring and the crowd show their respect for her and her gutsy performance.
Evans: Did Jack Severn just used our Indy Champion's submission move?!
Kushnir: He is obviously sending a clear message straight to Narumi! Amber should be happy how she performed here tonight, she put on a show to open up PRIME 99 and nearly got the win. Unfortunately that win goes to Jack Severn instead.
Evans: Severn has that Indy Title match in his back pocket, and he'll be no doubt wanting to put that in play very soon ...
Our camera cuts to ....
Kobro Commando walks into the frame, in the background several staff are eating from the buffet table filled with BBQ foods, hamburgers, hotdogs, buns, ketchup, mustard, chips, assorted crackers.
Kobro: It's nice to see these people enjoying their freedom because of men like me. But they really should be careful of the fatty foods they consume on a daily basis. America is becoming very fat.
A member of staff approaches Kobro, ketchup on the side of his mouth and he offers Kobro one of his hamburgers. Kobro slaps it out of his hand.
Kobro: There, I saved you from a heart attack and redicule. Go lift some weights, you puny man.
Kobro Commando turns to the camera, flexes one of his boobs then walks off frame as we go ...
The feed cuts to round the front of the Hart Family House, the buzz and excitement all the stronger there than it is ringside in the bleachers. It’s here we find Jenna Salvatore, microphone at the ready.
Jenna Salvatore: Hello from the Hart Family House! What a show we’ve had this far! And --
Sally Talfourd: Hey Jenna! Jenna Salvatore! Can I get a hand!?
There’s a quizzical look across Jenna’s face, then a heap of shopping bags are thrust at her. She struggles to keep hold of the mic. and the bags. They are clearly heavy, and rattling with glass bottles. Into the shot steps ‘The Last Magician’ Sally Talfourd, bags in each of her own hand, boxes under each arm.
Sally Talfourd: Thanks. Thanks heaps. There’s, like, three or four more trips to do.
Jenna Salvatore: What is all this?
Sally Talfourd: Drinks. Well, one drink, a few dozen times.
Jenna Salvatore: Huh? What are you …
Sally carefully lowers her bags, then the boxes. She throws her head back, trying to flip her hair out of her eyes. She’s quick to adjust her ring gear – at least she’s aware she’s got a match.
Sally Talfourd: It’s BBQ, isn’t it? And I know Americans and Canadians have their little arguments over who does the best BBQ. And that’s fine, but they’re arguing over second place. Korean BBQ is where it’s at. Everyone knows we do it the best.
Jenna Salvatore: Did you bring meat? I don’t think there’s a real BBQ happening …
Sally Talfourd: I figured someone else brought the meat. I brought …
She quickly reaches into the nearest bag, brings up two green bottles.
Sally Talfourd: Soju!
Sally pushes a bottle into Jenna’s chest. Jenna fumbles the bags to the ground, then takes the bottle. She turns it in her hand, trying to read the Korean label.
Jenna Salvatore: Is this alcohol? It’s Korean, right?
Sally Talfourd: It’s the life of our country, Jenna! And it's not a real BBQ without soju - and lot's of it! I have two bottle per person. That’s your first one, but don’t drink it all at once. Wait until I get you a teapot, and your second bottle. You can mix it with Sprite if you want …
Jenna Salvatore: Sally, have you had any yet? I don’t know what sort of show Paramount runs, but you should really be sober before wrestling.
Sally laughs, a bit slap on Jenna’s back. She then wraps an arm around her shoulders.
Sally Talfourd: Of course I haven’t had any ... yet. But after the match, you and I will be the first to pour, OK?
Jenna Salvatore: Did you say two bottles per person?
Sally Talfourd: Yeah, the store ran out. I wanted more, but that’s luck for you.
Jenna Salvatore: Do you mean just the wrestlers?
Sally stares at Jenna, somewhat offended. What kind of guest wouldn’t bring enough for everyone?
Jenna Salvatore: The crew too?
For everyone, Sally’s eyes say.
Jenna Salvatore: Not the fans too …
Sally Talfourd: Maybe there’s more than three or four trips more. But hey …
Sally steps away from Jenna, playfully jabs her in the shoulder.
Sally Talfourd: At least I’ll get my workout done too! Now, where’s Shane. He can help. Shane!??! Shane!??!
Sally skips out of the shot, screaming for her assistant-cross-cameraman to help unpack this huge mistake. Jenna looks after her, then down at the bottles, bags and boxes. She brings up the bottle of soju, mistaking it for the microphone. She goes to correct herself, then glances around, shrugs, and cracks the bottle.
We return to ringside where the delicious smell of bone suckin’ sauce and barbeque becomes even stronger as the show progresses.
Evans: Goodness I'm getting hungry ... hungry for more wrestling that is! Let's go to ringside!
Reid: The following match is for one fall. Joining us first, from New York, New York, weighing in at 115 pounds ... CALLIE CLARK!
A red carpet is rolled out going from the stage to the bottom of the ramp, and Bad Reputation hits. Callie comes out with Tori walking out behind her, and strikes a pose showing off her Kate Bishop outfit as pyro goes off behind her. Callie's paparazzi takes pictures of her as she walks down the ramp, taunting the fans as she goes before she pulls a sign from an audience member on the bleachers with “#LoserDeacon” written on it as she laughs. As she reaches ringside, Tori goes ahead of Callie, holding open the ropes so Callie can step through, and walk to the middle of the ring, where she strikes a pose again while winking at the camera. She then goes to her corner as the music cuts.
Reid: And her opponent, from Oija, California, weighing in at 195 pounds ... TIMOTHY DEACON!
A single spotlight shines in the center of the stage as "I still Burn" blasts through the p.a system. Timothy Deacon, wearing his long black tights, black boots and a hooded black jacket walks into the spotlight with a smirk on his face. The spotlight goes away as Deacon slowly walks down the entrance ramp ignoring the fans who are booing him. Deacon rolls into the ring and proceeds to take off his black jacket, he hands the jacket to a ringside attendant paying no attention to the fans.
DING DING DING
The match begins with Callie extending her hand for a handshake with a fake smile plastered on her face before Deacon slaps her hand away and catches Callie what a spinning heel kick that catches her flush and sends her stumbling into the ropes for support. Deacon goes to clothesline her out of the ring, but Callie ducks and pulls the top rope down, and sends the bigger man tumbling out of the ring. He catches himself on the apron, and Callie runs the ropes, coming back with a suicide dive through the ropes that connects almost like a spear that takes Deacon off the apron and sends him down to the floor. Callie gets back to her feet as the official begins the count and Callie sneers as Deacon shakes the cobwebs out.
1!
2!
“Aww c’mon TINY TIM!”
3!
“Can’t take it?!”
4!
Deacon goes to climb back in the ring and Callie sizes his hands up for a stomp, but misses as Deacon grabs her by the ankles and trips her up, sending her down hard onto the canvas on her backside before dragging her out to the outside with him.
Evans: Did she really say 'Tiny Tim' ... ?
Kushnir: I don't think he's going to like that, Marshall.
Deacon whips Callie into the ring apron, following it up with a couple of stiff forearms to keep her dazed before he throws her down to the mat. The ref’s count is at 5 now, and he rolls in to break the count before he climbs back out onto the apron and sizes up Callie to deliver a hurricanrana from the apron. Deacon pops back to his feet, the crowd giving the odd cheer for the display before he grabs Callie and rolls her back into the ring to prevent the count out. He gets back onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle and looks to put away Callie with the Frog Splash but Callie pulls her knees up! Deacon reels, clutching his midsection before Callie gets back to her feet and takes a running start before leaping up and driving down Deacon with a slingblade. Deacon is down, and Callie grabs hold of his hand while Tori cheers from ringside. Callie grabs his fingers, bending them back as the official checks to see if Deacon wants to give in. He refuses and Callie yanks hard, his fingers bending to an unholy level as Deacon yelps before she releases. She’s quick to climb the turnbuckle, keeping an eye on Deacon who looks like he’s about to get back to his feet before she leaps off with a Spiral Tap that drops the both of them and Callie drapes an arm over his chest.
1!
2!
Deacon kicks out, Callie wincing from the impact but looking frustrated at the official signaling two.
Evans: Deacon with the big kickout there, Callie though she had that one!
Kushnir: If the ref says it's two, it's two and that means Timothy is not a hashtag loser off of that.
Both are slow to get back to their feet and Callie starts off by attempting a swinging back fist. Deacon ducks, catching Callie as she spins back around with a toe kick before he hooks her head and drops her with a DDT. He drags her toward the corner, climbing the turnbuckle before he motions out to the crowd like he’s going to go for the swanton bomb, but Callie desperately scrambles to her feet and bumps into the ropes, sending Deacon right down onto the jewels. Callie jumps up in the corner, hitting a step up high knee as Deacon slumps down and falls from the turnbuckle. She seizes her opening, summoning every ounce of strength she has to hook Deacon’s neck and grabs under one knee, getting him up juuuuust enough before she collapses back down with Lights Out! She scrambles over, hooking both legs and she throws all of her weight down onto him.
1!
2!
3!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... CALLIE CLARK!!!Evans: What a victory for Callie Clark here tonight!
Kushnir: She has been on a roll since coming on to PRIME and though some may not like her attitude .. it's hard to argue with results.
Callie gets to her feet, arms raised high in the air as Tori gets into the ring to continue the celebration. Deacon shakes out the cobwebs, realization setting in before he tries to charge Callie. Callie and Tori both immediately scramble from the ring as Deacon argues with the official about the unfortunate mishap in the corner - virtually throwing a tantrum as he stomps his foot and shakes the top rope to sell his argument to the referee.
Evans: Deacon is not happy with this, although he put up one hell of a fight. Great job to him and Callie both here but ultimately Callie grabs the win.
Kushnir: I guess he's the hashtag loser here tonight after all.
The camera cuts to ...
Our scene goes backstage and the fans watching begin to boo as Crème de la Crème fills the screen. She looks resplendent in a full glittering Union Jack sequinned dress, her ruby red lips curled into a huge smile.
Crème: Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between – please welcome your Prime Minister… SCORPIO!
More boos sound out as the camera pans back to show a podium set-up in the ground of the Hart Family Home. The S-Factor steps forward behind it however his expression isn’t quite the same look of jubilation as Crème was wearing. He grips the sides of the lectern with both hands and takes a deep breath before looking the camera dead in the lens.
Scorpio: People of Prime, your Prime Minister is speaking. For many weeks now the plebians and gutter-trash of this brand have been casting aspersions on my abilities and successes. I lost the Showtime Broadcast Championship, I came third in the G1, I lost two shots at the Indy Championship, I failed to win the Brand Warfare for Prime… people have delighted in claiming I am past my best and my career is over…
He sneers.
Scorpio: What you’re expecting me to do is call these people every name under the sun, throw this podium at the camera, and have the tantrum to end all tantrums at Victor Price. That’s what the Scorpio of last season would have done, hell, it’s what the Scorpio of earlier this season would have done. It’s not what I’m going to do…
The S-Factor pauses briefly as beside him Crème de la Crème begins to look a little confused, as if this is not the speech they had planned.
Scorpio: I could stand here and blame the establishment, I could blame Narumi, I could blame Bosa, I could blame Team Paramount, I could blame the fans… but really the only person I can blame is myself. I came to Prime assuming I could dominate it and rule it, and whilst I maintain each and every one of the roster is independent gutter-trash, they’re independent gutter-trash who have proven themselves against a legend and a triple crown champion. I have a lot of soul-searching to do, I need to discover who the Scorpio of the next half of the season is going to be.
Crème approaches the podium and seems to want to cut her Prime Minister off as Scorpio waves his hand, standing her down.
Scorpio: But don’t rest on your laurels, Prime. I may be quieter, I may be looking inward, I may be re-evaluating… but I am still fucking fantastic at what I do. I can still beat each and every one of you, and I will still be hunting down the Indy Championship. But I came in here and declared myself the Prime Minister… I made it a dictatorship when a Prime Minister is elected… and at Prime 100 we are having a re-election…
Some noise of approval from the watching fans as Scorpio smirks slightly.
Scorpio: So this is a challenge out to anyone who fancies themselves as the next Prime Minister, I will put the title up for grabs in a match on Prime 100. If you think you have what it takes to be the next leader of this brand then let’s do it… darling.
Without another word he steps away from the podium and walks off. The crowd cheer in approval for a match for the title of Prime Minister as Crème de la Crème looks desperate at hearing the news and goes chasing after Scorpio while we go ...
The camera opens out on the front lawn of the Hart Family house where Bobby Rose and Jimmy Lane are checking in on their merch table. Their ‘Southern Express Farewell Tour Calgary’ t-shirt are flying off the shelves tonight as many Canadian wrestling fans want to get a final souvenir on The Southern Express’s final match in Canada. Bobby looks pleased with the amount of cash they have made tonight as he grabs a wad of money and smiles at Jimmy.
Rose: This right here brother is why I didn’t want to leave the indies…merch sales are crazy…
Lane: Yeah but so is that guarantee Paramount money…
Bobby nods, not wanting to concede to Jimmy but acknowledging the Paramount pay checks have been good…
Lane: Besides do you forget what a pain in the ass it was to lug all these boxes of t-shirts and all the other crap we use to sale from out of the van, setting it all up and then…after the match pack it all up and reload it all…no thanks you…
Rose: Yeah we aren’t young men anymore but still…
Bobby waves the money around…
Rose: We should have done a handful more Prime shows this season…to you know…supplement our retirement funds…
Jimmy pauses and then nods at this tag team partner…
Lane: Yeah…well there is still time brother, Prime has what, four more shows this season…we COULD add a few at the back in to make a little scratch on our way out…
Bobby and Jimmy high five as their manager Bunny Love comes walking down the front law pointing at her wrist…
Love: Hey idiots…have you looked at the time? We are coming up soon!!!
Rose: Relax Bunny…
Lane: Yeah, we are dressed and ready to go…
Rose: We were just going to sign a few autographs…
Lane: For $25 a pop…
Rose: And take a few pictures…
Lane: Those are $50…
Rose: With the fans before are music hits…
The fans standing out in the street and on the front lawn who were unable to get tickets to the Backyard show cheer and wave their money around…
Love: You can do that AFTER our match tonight…I need you boys to lock in eh…
Bunny smirks at her use of the Canadian slang…
Rose: Please…you saw how worked up Peach Gelato was in that promo…she has to be ‘hulking’ up right now, getting all excited for her Prime main show debut…
Lane: Not understanding she’ll have the world’s biggest adrenaline dump after being in the ring for 2 mins…
Rose: It’s a rookie mistake, hell I’m going to go all ‘rope-a-dope’ on her so she kills her arms swinging at me and then BOOM…she’s ours…
Lane: Yeah buddy, you say her…she was out of control in that promo and Kyle couldn’t reign her in…what chance does he have tonight…she’s been waiting a lifetime for this…
Rose: And her excitement will be her undoing Bunny…all we have to do is let her go crazy for a min or two and then cut her off from Kyle…it’s Tag Team Wrestling 101…
Lane: Yeah…we don’t even have to dig too deep in the playbook here tonight…we are dealing with amateaur hour here tonight at Prime #099…
Bunny shakes her head at the former tag team champions…
Love: Damn it…I don’t want you two to think this is going to be a walk in the park…I’ve called Chris Brock and scheduled a meeting with him before Paramount #023 to inform him that we are cashing in our rematch clause at Night of Champions and we need to win this match to show him and the rest of the GM’s in the EWC that we haven’t lost focus…that we don’t have one foot out the door…that we don’t care more about t-shirt money than the bonus we will get for becoming the THREE TIME EWC TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD…so I need for you two to…
Rose: Lock in…
Lane: We got it…on a side note those Cool Ranch Doritos was a GREAT idea…the bag is fucking gone…
Bobby looks at Jimmy and smiles…
Rose: That’s because I didn’t put them out…I ate the entire bag last night…
Jimmy’s mouth drops open in shock…
Lane: SHIT…I ate all the lays after getting…friendly with a local Canuck…
Rose: So you’re telling me we came to this BBQ empty handed…damn it, we are the ugly Americans aren’t we…
The two men laugh as they take a quick picture with a fan and take his $50 before Bunny pulls them away from the table and marches them up towards the house…
We return to ringside where a beach ball is being tossed around the ringside area but someone shoots it with a dart.
Evans: Welp, that's what they get for not paying attention to the show! Let's get this next match underway, it's Vivi and Sally Talfourd and it's now!
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, hailing from all over the world and weighing in at 128 pounds ... VIVI!
Pyros hit and "Little Boxes" by Kinky begins to play. Vivi appears and gives a big smile to the crowd, waving and enjoying herself like always. She skips down to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope, ready to compete.
The lights turn blue and red. 'TroubleMaker' hits the speakers. The song bursts to life, out races Sally to the front of the stage. Raising her hands to the crowd, she kicks her leg and heads towards the ring, slapping hands with the crowd.
Reid: And the opponent, making her way to the ring this evening, weighing in at a sublime 140 pounds and standing at five feet and ten inches of perfection, she is the CW Broadcast Champion, this is ‘The Last Magician’ ... SALLY TALFOURD!”
Sally stands at the base of the steps to the ring, waving to the crowd, then dashes up the steps, hoists herself over the top and strides to the centre of the ring.

Evans: A big win for Paramount's Sally Talfourd here tonight. She came to Prime's literal backyard and exits with a victory.
Kushnir: She came looking for a fight and Vivi gave her a fight. Vivi pushed Sally but in the end, it seems Vivi will be eating her Bone Suckin' Sauce through a straw.
Sally stand on the turnbuckles and holds her CW Broadcast Championship high into the air for the fans to see. Most of the fans cheer along with her.
Evans: That was one hell of a match, but Paramount's invader showed why she's holding gold here in EWC.
Kushnir: Both women put on a great match but Vivi came up short tonight.
The camera cuts to ...
Shinijoshi are found at the backyard BBQ with the aspiring chef Sonya at the grill where Megumi is already hovering around waiting for a meal. Narumi stands up in a big coat while Aiya and Sonya give her a look in the scorching heat.
Narumi: Never will I again take climate clues from FEUD with how cold they lead people to think Calgary is in the middle of the summer.
Narumi takes off the coat to get down to a normal tank top and shorts for the BBQ.
Narumi: We’re going to have to be careful out there after this, Damage Inc got real graphic about eating our asses…..perverts. What’s wrong with them?
Megumi takes to dipping one of her signature onigiri into the Bone Sucking Sauce
Megumi: Who knows, who cares about their strange tastes? We’ve got the classics.
Megumi salivates and takes a bite that brings a huge grin to her face. As the others smile and Narumi begins joking.
Narumi: Ashe and Damage Inc didn’t even want to talk in each other's videos despite the fact that they were clearly together, Damage Inc were even behind a fence in Ashe’s video. Do they have a gag order or even a restraining order?
Aiya chuckles as she shakes her head.
“Headhuntress” Aiya: I’m not sure who was more disappointing to listen to; Dalilah and her just zoning in on wanting revenge … and then being dumb enough to think I’m fucking hiding behind you guys. Or Malice and Mayhem … who only saw Narumi as the real threat, yet apparently acknowledged Senshi Of The Blade as a team?
Ummm … helloooooo? They do realize that means Megumi is a threat, even if they want to think I’m weak or some shit. I get they were wounded for a hell of a while, but they just proved they clearly haven’t seen any of my past matches. Otherwise, they’d see I’ve taken on men as tall and strong as them and easily defeated them. By my damn self! So having you two help me out?
Aiya chuckles and shakes her head.
“Headhuntress” Aiya: That’s going to make this fight easier for me, not harder. Fucking idiots.
Narumi rolls her eyes, being reminded of that.
Narumi: Oh right right their hiding and lackeys nonsense, you’d think any of those three had won a championship the way they wanted to dismiss you or anyone else in this group. What have they done that puts them on your level? We don’t have a leader, and any one of us is perfectly able to beat their very best. Malone tried to say something slick like that too in the middle of calling us ninjas, and apparently, she’s going to be here tonight because she was upset I didn’t wrestle on Rampage? Which is her brand, and she didn’t wrestle there either. I bet she thought I wasn’t going to send a video. But Sonya actually wrestled that night and took out that big mouth Bradford, proving anyone in Shinijoshi is a threat. I guess she confuses us with her ragtag group of lackeys and servants, but I intend to bring the Undisputed Championship to Prime 100 for all of Prime and Shinijoshi to celebrate because we trust and elevate each other. And tonight we’ll prove just want I mean when we beat the big bad F.E.U.D and and then come right back to stuff our faces for real! Sonya, your senpais have got this, hold the fort, or well grill.
Aiya and Narumi grab Megumi away as Sonya gives them a thumbs up of encouragement and the trio make their leave to get ready and we head to ...
Evans: It's the former tag-team champions and they're looking to get paid! Apparently ..

Reid: And their opponents, from Miami, weighing in at 132 pounds ... PEACH GELATO!!!
‘Survival’ leads the charge as Peach Gelato runs out on the entrance ramp. She is met with a cavalcade of cheers and she is almost overcome by it. She gives a very royal wave and makes her way to the ring. She has the ref hold open the ropes for her as she enters the ring.
Reid: And their opponents, from Mobile,Alabama weighing in at 235 pounds ... KYLE GAUTIER!!!
An elegant Purple spotlight shines on the ramp as ‘The Man’ by the Killers blares. Kyle Gautier is standing at the top soaking in the raucous cheers. He slaps hands with anyone as he runs down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and goes to as many corners as he can to get ready.

Jimmy returns to the apron and grabs the tag rope. Bobby drops an elbow on Peach, then hauls her to her feet, he quickly gives her a snapmare then a dropkick to the back of her head. Bobby runs to the turnbuckles and climbs them, he is about to showboat for the ladies but his sweaty hand slips on the top rope climbing up and he tumbles awkwardly out of the ring and onto the padded matts outside the ring!
Evans: Well that's what ya get for showboating.
Kushnir: I'm not even going to mention on-air what that one lady in the corner just did!

Kushnir: Peach and Kyle were so close to taking down The Express in their first match together! What a tag-team match!
The Southern Express celebrate in the ring, finally getting things back on track. Bobby asks for a microphone-- BUT BEFORE HE CAN GET IT, TWO MEN IN HOODIES RUSH THE RING! THEY ATTACK BOBBY & JIMMY VICIOUSLY BEFORE UNMASKING…
IT’S DAN FUNK & BRODIE DAWSON OF THE HEAT PACKERS, EWC’S NEWEST TAG TEAM SIGNING!
“Dynamite” Dan lifts Bobby into a piledriver position as “Beautiful” Brodie goes to the top rope… AND SPIKES BOBBY DOWN! Jimmy tries to make the save but Dan kicks the leg out of his leg! Dan locks in a Figure Four leglock onto Jimmy as Brodie positions a chair under Jimmy’s legs and climbs to the second rope… DIVING FOOT STOMP RIGHT ONTO JIMMY’S LEGS, ONTO THE CHAIR! Jimmy screams in pain as Dan lets go of the submission. Finally, Bunny Love has had enough and she runs in, getting right into The Heat Packers’ faces, demanding that The Heat Packers stop. The dastardly duo look at each other, AND THEN DAN SWINGS THE CHAIR RIGHT OVER BUNNY’S HEAD! Bunny immediately collapses, blood pouring from her head. Dan hits her again for extra measure, knocking her completely out.
Out of the entrance area walks Dimitri Graves, clapping slowly and smiling, approving of his new clients’ actions. But then he motions for them to hit one more move. The Heat Packers smirk and Dan lifts Bunny up in that same piledriver position… BUT BOBBY IS BACK UP AND WITH A CHAIR! Dan drops Bunny and runs out of the ring with Brodie. Bobby just barely runs them off before checking on Bunny & Jimmy. Medical staff rush the ring to help all three of them as The Heat Packers meet up with Dimitri at the stage. Bobby looks at his fallen friends… and then back at The Heat Packers. They stare absolute daggers into each other.
The camera cuts to .......
We return to ringside where we're all set up for more singles action as a helicopter flies it's way over the ring ...
Evans: Time for another two of PRIME's newest recruits to take to the ring, in singles action!
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, from Detroit, Michigan and weighing in at 250 pounds ... KOBRO COMMANDO!
The low, muted thumping from the rotor blades of an AH-64 Apache helicopter can be heard, on the Xtron, the helicopter flies towards the screen as the thumping gets louder. The attack chopper rises up out of sight as the thumping is really loud now. A ladder lowers in front of the Xtron, Kobro Commando is hanging on with one hand and leg, a lit cigar resting on the corner of his mouth. He touches down on the stage and the ladder retracts. The loud thumping of the helicopter fades off into the distance as Kobro stands at the top of the ramp, staring menacingly at the ring. He slowly looks left and right, watching the fans cheer him. Kobro takes one step forward and loud drums start banging with military horns and bass instruments complimenting the drums. He makes his way to the ring, puts his cigar out on the steel steps then climbs them. He enters the ring then removes his black tactical vest, showing his impressive physique.
Reid: And the opponent, residing down the street from Utori Sushi and weighing in at 229 pounds ... YOSHIHARU KUBO!
'Yummy Sushi' by Babybus plays as Yoshiharu Kubo steps through the curtain. As he makes his way down the ramp he hands free sushi to the audience on the front row.
DING DING DING
Yoshiharu smacks Commando in the thigh with a roundhouse kick before launching him with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Yoshiharu runs and hits a low baseball slide dropkick to the side of Commando's head. He rolls Commando over and makes a cover.

THR.. NO! KICK OUT!
Yoshiharu rolls to his side breaking the count.
Evans: If not for the ropes, that shoulder block almost knocked him to the Hart Dungeon.
Kushnir: And yet still Yoshiharu Kubo kicked out at two.
Commando smashes forearms across Yoshiharu's shoulder blades before whipping him off the ropes. Yoshiharu ricochets back at Commando with a Springboard Stunner. He hooks a leg as the referee counts.

DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall... KOBRO COMMANDO!!!
Evans: Looks like this mission was a success for the Kobro Commando here at the start of his career on PRIME. Build on this and championships could soon come his way.
Kushnir: Likewise Yoshiharu Kubo is equaly near the start of his career here. He may have lost but he gave a good showing of himself and came close to victory. He too can build on this but he will need to get on the winning end soon.
Commando stands in the ring as a hellicopter hovers overhead. It drops a line that Commando grabs onto. The helicopter pulls him up and flies away.
Evans: Okay, now that was impressive.
Kushnir: If he really wants to impress me he'll do the helicopter exit inside an arena!
The camera cuts to ...
The camera cuts to outside the medical tent where we see a pissed off Xavier Reid as he’s being held back by Prime security…
Reid: I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF YOU DON’T LET ME IN THEIR I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL SOMEONE!!!
Xavier shoves one of the men to the ground and takes a swing at the other before ripping opening the tent to see the doctors standing over Bunny Love, stitching her forehead up…
Reid: I’M GOING TO KILL THOSE TWO FUCKS!!!
But as he turns to walk out of the tent he’s stopped by Bobby Rose and Jimmy Lane…
Rose: Kid we got this…
Lane: Yeah Xavier, these guys came after us and…
Reid: BUNNY PAID THE PRICE!!!
Rose: We know…
Lane: And we will settle this score with The Heat Packers…
Rose: This is OUR fight kid…
Lane: Yeah, you have your own fight to get ready for…
And right on cue Tommy Love walks into the tent with a plate full of BBQ fixings, ribs, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob…his face is smeared with the rib bbq as he licks his lips and looks around…
T.Love: Have you guys tried the ribs…holy fuck they are amazing!!!
Xavier looks at Tommy for a second and then smacks the plate out of his hands…
Reid: YOUR DAUGHTER WAS BUSTED OPEN BY SOME HACK TAG TEAM AND YOU’RE EATING…
T. Love: What do you want me to do about it…go kick Dan and Brodie’s ass…if anyone should be pissed it’s these two…
Tommy points at Bobby and Jimmy…
T. Love: They let their manager get some color…Xavier this isn’t our fight…
Rose: That’s what we told him…
Lane: It’s like we’ve known each other in a past life or something…
Jimmy sticks up his hand and Tommy gives him a BBQ high five but this just seems to piss off Xavier even more…
Reid: FUCK YOU ALL…I’LL FIND THESE TWO ASSHOLES AND HANDLE IT MYSELF!!!
But Tommy blocks the opening in the tent…
Rose: They are gone kid…
Lane: Yeah they split like the cowards they are…
T. Love: Besides…we have Scorpio up next…you need to get your head on straight…
Rose: Yeah, you can’t go into a match with him and be thinking about The Heat Packers…
Lane: You don’t want to end up ‘in the garbage’ do you…
Bobby and Jimmy smirk at the stipulation of Xavier’s match but it’s Tommy that steps forward, wiping his hands on Bobby’s t-shirt.
T. Love: She’s going to be fine Xavier, I’ve talked to the doctors and she will be patched up all good and new…the cuts in her hairline so she won’t be a freak with a giant scar across her forehead…but we can’t worry about this right now…we have Scorpio and he’s looking to get himself back on track at YOUR expense…now I know how much wrestling in Canada means to you…how you grew up a fan of The Hart’s and I know if you go out there and get beat tonight it’s going to eat away at you…so I need you to focus on the man you’re facing and not the men that gave Bunny the crimson mask here tonight…we can settle that score later…now, let’s leave the doctors to it…Bobby and Jimmy can wait for her and we will all meet up after we put that last season’s bitch in the garbage where he belongs!!! You heard him, he dismissed the fact that it was you that sent him down this spiral he's be on...all because he can't admit that Xavier Reid got the better of him...
Reid: I ended The President as we know it...anyone with half a brain can see that, I took the most important accessory Scorpio ever had and made it mine...he can cry foul all he wants but that's the truth. I backed that up by being one of the people that ended his night at Parabellum and that doesn't sit well with him but I was also the one that ended Narumi's night...the same Narumi that has TWICE beat him...he can brag all he wants about eliminating Killjoy...I beat him Brawl v. Parmount, everything he does these days is a knock off...just like this Prime Minister crap...it's a knock off of The President...he's gone all 'last season' on the EWC and it's time to toss him out into the garbage and that's just what I'm going to do tonight...and then, I'm going to find The Heat Packers and end their EWC Careers...this is now MY fight!!! You blew your chance at them!!!
Xavier looks at Bobby and Jimmy, who look to say something to him but Xavier storms past them and out of the tent…Tommy looks at The Southern Express…
T. Love: I’ll be back…stay with her…if he loses her tonight he’s going to want to murder us all…
Bobby and Jimmy nod as Tommy runs out of the tent to make sure Xavier heads to the ring and not in search of The Heat Packers as we go ...
We return to ringside where the referee is checking the ropes in anticipation of our next match.
Evans: Alright ladies and gentlemen let's get back at it here on PRIME as our Broadcast Champion Bosa takes on Aeon Khronos!
Reid: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, hailing from the Edge Of Time and weighing in at 144 earth pounds ... AEON KHRONOS!
The chiming of clocks and gears fills the arena as the crowd begins booing the arrival of Aeon Khronos, paying them no mind as the beat kicks in on "Time" by Pink Floyd. She approaches the ring with a smirk on her face, enjoying what she's about to do as she slides into the ring and prepares herself for the match.
The arena goes silent as Damon Reid stands at center ring. Around him, camera's flash and fans speak amongst themselves as he slowly raises a microphone to his lips.
Reid: Ladies and Gentlemen, the opponent. I bring your attention to the Beast Incarnate. He is a man known the world over for his power, strength, and never surrender attitude. He is a second generation superstar with a family legacy that will be spoken about for years to come. Hailing from Marin, California! Here is the BEAST OF PRIME ...

"The Bleeding" – Five Finger Death Punch begins to play! The crowd completely erupts as Bosa emerges from the backstage area! Stopping on the stage area, he glares at the ring a moment, adjusting his gloves and pads. Taking a deep breath, he looks around the arena as the fans cheer him on. Licking his lips, he nods his head.
The camera slowly pans around Bosa now as the fans continue to respond loudly! Bosa remains in place, allowing himself to bask in the moment. With one last nod, he begins to walk down the rampway and slide under the bottom rope. He paces the ring, stretching his arms as he does so. The arena is completely overwhelmed by the sounds of the fans stomping their feet and clapping their hands.
Bosa's theme song slowly fades out as he stands in place, anticipating the battle that is yet to come. In the distance, the fans begin to chant his name. Bosa nods and remains focused on the match that is about to begin.

Kushnir: That was one hell of a match, Aeon came this close but in the end, Bosa takes the steak at this BBQ!
The camera cuts to ...
The camera pans across the crowds and zooms in on what appears to be a large tent that someone has set up. The teepee is very tall and towers over the people around it. As the camera focuses in we see that it is not a building, it is the gigantic form of Monolith.
Kushnir: Now this guy is interesting, he’s big, he’s tall. I mean they say almost 8 feet, I think he’s got to be more like 10. Just look how he is towering over all those people.
Evans: But I gotta say, what’s the point in being so big if he never actually wrestles? He’s been in EWC for weeks and we are yet to see him in action. If I were the GM I’d be having some serious words with him.
Kushnir: Are you honestly going to be the one to tell that enormous monster what to do? I doubt it!
Evans: Well, that’s a good point. And maybe tonight is the night where we will finally see some wrestling from the Cosmic Goliath!
The impassive black triangle on the face of the Cosmic Goliath’s voluminous robes gives away nothing. There is no clue as to who, or what, might be hidden beneath that unusual costume. As ever he pulls out his magic 8 ball. He holds the ball above his head, in a surprisingly small hand, and shakes it dramatically.
Monolith: Oh mighty sphere of dark prophesy! Oh wonder from the black beyond! Speak to this vessel today, bring forth your arcane knowledge! Answer this question; will Monolith be wresting here today?
The ball stops shaking as Monolith reads the contents. He shakes his head, or at least the uppermost part of his robes wobbles.
Monolith: Does not look likely.
The crowd boo the news, obviously hoping to see some action. But Monolith turns away from them and starts walking off through the crowded field.
Kushnir: I cannot believe EWC continues to pay this guy! Apparently he’s on a 5 year contract and so far we’ve seen nothing form him. This guy is ether a scam artist or a coward - and I’m not a fan of either.
Evans: Well, that may be but I want to know who is under that robe? I’ve been hearing that the person under that robe is a very big deal and that when we find out their real identity it will rock EWC to its very the core.
Kushnir: I’ve heard those rumour too! People are saying that the reveal of the secret identity of Monolith will be one of the biggest surprises in EWC history!
Evans: But wait, it looks like the crowd want to know too! Look over there, it looks like a riot!
The giant form of Monolith can be seen in the midst of an angry looking mob. They are shouting at him and throwing things. As we watch a hot dog bun is thrown into the side of Monolith’s head, leaving a trail of ketchup and mustard down his usually pristine robes.
Crowd: Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!
Evans: Looks like the fans got fed up of Monolith’s inaction too! They want to know who’s hiding under his robes!
Monolith tries to ignore the chaos and struggle away from the EWC fans. More buns and sauce fly through the air. His robes splattered with sauce and pulled pork, a chicken wing drops from the top of his head and lands in the hands of a kid, who shrugs and starts eating. Suddenly he stops spins around and shouts!
Monolith: SILENCE!!!
The crowd stops in an instated as the giant turns on them. They stare up at the cosmic giant as if suddenly aware of the danger they have put themselves in by angering such an enormous creature. They step away from him and the silence is deafening as BBQ sauce drips from the triangle of Monolith’s face.
Monolith: Unworthy fools, you do not know what you are meddling with. You have know comprehension of the cosmic forces at work though me! Right now my rage is flowing, I will ask the Cosmic Sphere what to do.
Kushnir: Oh the magic 8 ball again! You know, I think he just reads whatever the hell he wants in that thing? I do not trust this guy at all.
Monolith shakes the sphere and holds it up to read.
Monolith: Should I display my power now? It reads: "My sources say no". The sphere has spoken, I will not be…
Some Kid: Wait!!
It’s that kid who caught that chicken wing earlier, his face covered in sticky BBQ sauce is looking up suspiciously up at Monolith. Somehow he has no fear standing before the Cosmic Goliath.
Some Kid: It does not say that! I can see that ball and it says “ask again.”
Kushnir: I knew it!
Crowd: Shake again! Shake again! Shake again!
Monolith stands impassively. Even with his mask on you get the sense a man somewhat defeated. His once spotless robes covered in unwanted BBQ food. His great size and dramatic appearance punctured by a smart-ass kid. He’s like a deflating balloon as his dominance seems to drain away.
Monolith: Fine, I’ll shake it again. Oh might sphere of darkness, dispenses your wisdom to us today. Will I wrestle?
Monolith shakes the magic 8 ball around and eventually the ball settles on its answer. The Kid and much of the crowd can see what it says. There is no way for Monolith to hide or change the answer. He must obey what the ball says. Monolith reads it, his shoulders slumping.
Monolith: It is decidedly so.
The crowd goes wild, they lift the kid up on their shoulders as they celebrate. After months of waiting and building anticipation they will get to see Monolith wrestle! At least the Cosmic Goliath will step in the ring and fight! Dejectedly Monolith speaks once more.
Monolith: The ball has spoken. I will wrestle.
Evans: At last! He’s finally going to earn his pay check!
Monolith: But not tonight! Instead the debut of the Cosmic Goliath will happen on the 100th episode of PRIME. Be prepared to witness something the likes of which you have literally never seen before.
Kushnir: How can he make us we wait so long for this!
Monolith: And besides, you ungrateful hicks don’t deserve to see the wonder of Monolith in the ring! Your simple minds would never cope with the shock of what’s to come!
The crowd go wild! The boo as Monolith leaves, tossing drinks and burgers and even a chicken at the giant. A particularly drunk fan steps in front of him and grabs the robe. It rips a little down the seam and we get a glimpse of some dark hair and a pair of suspiciously familiar brown eyes pearling out before hands pull the gap in the costume back together. Monolith hurries away before more secrets could be revealed.
Evans: Did you see that?! A glimpse behind the curtain!
Kushnir: I saw it! And I recognised it! I know exactly who it is! I will definitely be tuning in to PRIME 100 because, by God, you guys at home are not prepared for what’s under those robes! Monolith is big but this reveal is even bigger!!!
The camera cuts to ....
Evans: Welcome back, folks! Hopefully you were with us to witness the absolute war between Bosa and Aeon Khronos! Otherwise, make sure to catch it when you can on EWCTV! Right now, we’re onto the next battle, which will be impressive in its own rights. Scorpio versus Xavier Reid; both former champions this season, both coming in with nothing to lose! Who will prevail?! Let’s find out! Take us away, the Reid that isn’t Xavier!
'Rule Britannia' hits the speakers as red, white, and blue lighting flashes around the arena. The crowd begin to boo loudly as the image of a waving Union Jack is displayed on the X-Tron. Superimposed on this is the message "Please be upstanding for your Prime Minister". After a little while the orchestral music fades down…
Reid: The following match is a Trashcans Till We Die Match! The only way to win is to put your opponent in the nearby dumpster! Please welcome, from London, England, weighing in at 205 lbs... 'The People's Camp', 'The Baddest Bitch On The Planet', 'The Prime Minister... ’THE S-FACTOR’ SCORPIO!
'Iconic' - Madonna feat. Chance The Rapper hits the speakers as the house lights go down, switching to a spotlight focused on the curtain. It parts, revealing 'The S-Factor' Scorpio stood behind, a hand on his hip cutting a beautiful silhouette. He sashays forward, a long coat dripping in jewels swaying with every step. Behind him steps Crème de la Crème, Scorpio's drag queen confidant and manager. The two look to one another and nod, before Scorpio opens his coat and drops it to the floor, revealing another stunning outfit. He steps down the ramp with a confident strut, emulating that of the catwalk models of Paris and Milan, before reaching the ring. Scorpio climbs up one set of steps as Crème climbs the other, parting the ropes to allow 'The S-Factor'' in. Stepping into the middle of the ring Scorpio raises one arm, and blows a kiss with the other, a smile forming on his beautifully made-up face.
Reid: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by 'The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love, from New York, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is one half of the EWC Tag-Team Champions ... XAVIER REID!
The spotlights inside the arena start to flash around the crowd as 'Papercut' starts to play out
Xavier Reid walks out onto the stage in his new black trunk, kickpads and boots, his hands wrapped in black tape and from behind him ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love walks out. He walks to the front of the stage and crosses his arms into an X in front of his chest and smirks as Tommy walks out from behind him and acts as if he’s going to hit the camera with the ‘Love Stick’. Tommy points to the ring and Xavier walks towards the ring shadow boxing as he makes his way down the aisle. Xavier storms up the steps and climbs into the ring, Tommy follows suit and walks towards the referee, already complaining about something. Xavier storms across the ring to the opposite corner and jumps to the middle rope and looks over the crowd and once again crosses his arms into an X as Tommy pulls out some money and tries to bribe the official who walks away as Tommy laughs. Xavier jumps down and squats down in the corner waiting for the bell.
DING DING DING
The Bastard and Prime Minister circle around one another. With their previous encounters and experiences against one another, they both know the other can be incredibly dangerous and neither clearly wish to run into any obvious traps nor give their opponent any openings. After two circles are completed, they both charge forward … AND EACH THROW A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AT THE OTHER’S FACE! The Louboutin Heel does its job and adds a bit more ‘oomph’ than Xavier’s boot, causing him to stumble back a bit further. Scorpio, meanwhile, looks miffed that the first place Reid seemed to go for was his face.
Scorpio hastily ascends the ropes, going for a Corkscrew Neckbreaker! Right at the last possible second, though, Xavier notices what The S-Factor is doing … and catches him in midair, halting his plans as he slams The Prime Minister courtesy of a well-placed Powerbomb!
Tommy Love is laughing his ass off on the outside, encouraging the audience to cheer for his client. Xavier looks smug and proud of his work, only to be reminded with a harsh slap across the face from Scorpio, who is now back to a vertical base, that he’s nowhere near done fighting! This earns another roar from the audience as the two resume fighting!
Evans: Jesus, there is no love lost between these two!
Kushnir: What did you expect, Marshall?! Did you hear the sound of that slap?!
Xavier glares a hole through Scorpio, not looking overly keen about the slap he got moments ago. He throws a Pele Kick at the Prime Minister, but he seems to have other plans! Using his quick reflexes, The S-Factor grabs one of the nearby trash cans and uses it as a makeshift shield. Xavier tries to reach for one of the nearby weapons himself, but Scorpio slams his own straight into Xavier’s wounded knee!
Xavier winces in pain, collapsing onto the mat! Scorpio raises the trash can high over his head before slamming it repeatedly against Xavier’s kneecap. It lands one more time! Two! Three! Even a fourth, totalling to five brutal assaults on Xavier’s knee!
Using his good leg, he’s able to kick Scorpio away, but at what cost?! It looks like a considerable amount of damage has been done!
Evans: He's not gonna be able to walk after this, I'm sure of it.
Kushnir: What an assault by Scorpio!
Scorpio smirks as his gaze focuses first on Xavier … before moving to the dumpster! Sauntering towards the Volando Bastard, he uses every ounce of strength to lift Xavier up over his shoulders. Reid does everything possible to get away from The S-Factor, from using his good leg to throwing elbows against Scorpio’s neck. At one point, he even tries to pull a Mike Tyson and bite his ear!
The only thing saving Scorpio from that bite is him deciding to take a chance … and seeing if he can throw Xavier far enough and into the garbage dumpster. A very loud and audible “FUCK YOU!” reverberates from Reid as he tries to grab onto something - anything - to avoid falling into the trash. With nothing to grab onto though … he falls into place, tossed as if he were an unorthodox basketball! His hand springs up, the lid doesn't close on him yet but Scorpio is in the ring and we hear him scream 'FUCK YOU TOO!!!' and bounce off the ropes, doing a massive dive over the top rope and landing inside the dumpster with Reid! The momentum rocks the dumpster and closes the lid!
DING DING DING
Reid: Ladies and Gentlemen, due to both competitors inside of the dumpster while the lid was closed this match has been declared a ... DRAW!!! Evans: That was one of the most brutal things I've ever seen on PRIME ... And we didn't even get a winner!
Kushnir: ............ Did he just bite his ear?!
Crème hauls Scorpio out, raising one of The S-Factor’s arms up in victory as if he's the winner. A horrified Tommy Love hurries over towards the dumpster and tries to help Xavier out, only to be shoved away. His leg is trembling, and we can tell Xavier is in a world of hurt.
Tommy starts to call for some medics to come down and help his client, but Xavier silences ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ with a livid stare. Tommy raises his hands beside his head and tries offering his hand to Xavier again. The Volando Bastard reluctantly agrees and is finally helped out of the garbage dumpster. Tommy and Xavier begin heading backstage while Crème keeps celebrating as if Scorpio was victorious.
Evans: We need to run this match back, ASAP!
Kushnir: These two absolutely stole the show here tonight with that one, and it ends up as a draw?!

NON-TITLE TRIOS TORNADO TAG ANYTHING GOES BACKYARD WRESTLING MATCH
F.E.U.D (Dailah Ashe & DAMAGE INC)
Vs SHINIJOSHI (Narumi Tsutsumi, "Headhuntress" Aiya & Megumi)
Match Writer: The Mad King
F.E.U.D (Dailah Ashe & DAMAGE INC)
Vs SHINIJOSHI (Narumi Tsutsumi, "Headhuntress" Aiya & Megumi)
Match Writer: The Mad King
We return to ringside where Reid stands in the center of the ring ready to call the action.
Evans: This is it, ladies and gentlemen, all out insanity for our main event, a six person trios backyard wrestling match where ANYTHING GOES!
Reid: The following match is trios, tornado tag, anything goes backyard wrestling match scheduled for one fall! Joining us first, being accompanied to the ring by Damage Inc manager Lacey Savage, fighting out of the Fear Factory Dojo, at a combined weight of 850 pounds ... Delilah Ashe and Damage Incorporated, they are THEEE FEUUUD!
Pyro explodes across the stage. The light pulses like lightning and Lacey Savage appears wearing a skull bandanna that covers her lower face. When the lightning pulses again a thick smoke rolls in, and from the smoke come two huge figures dressed in matching leather jackets that reach all the way to their matching boots. The two men are wearing full face masks that look like skulls. Each skull face is partially covered by a bandanna, outlaw style. The two men flank Lacey and they all come to stand in the center of the stage. Dalilah Ashe appears wearing a crown of black roses and thorns which prick her pale brow bringing small drops of dark red blood. She opens her arms to hold the crowd in the long cold embrace of her contempt.
Damage Inc remove their masks and the group marches in lock step down the ramp to the ring. Once between the ropes the group clusters together in a tight huddle to go over their final game plan, getting ready for a war. Malice holds the ropes open for Lacey before the bell rings where she takes her place at ringside where she prepares to aid her team however she can.
Reid: And their opponents, from JAPAN, weighing in at 392 pounds ... 'Headhuntress' Aiya, Megumi, and the Indy champion Narumi Tsutsumi, they are SHINIJOSHI!
'New Genesis' by Ado hits as the lights go out and as members of Shinijoshi make their way to the ring as shadows walking through fogs of alternating colours, the most jubilant member strikes the team hand sign as the lights turn back on.
Evans: I cannot wait to see how this one goes!
DING DING DING
All six competitors in the ring, they quickly go from exchanging a few heated words to a blitzkrieg flurry of exchanging blows in a matter of seconds. Narumi gets the upper hand on Delilah Ashe pretty quickly while Narumi and Aiya are getting pounded into opposite corners by Mayhem and Malice. Damage Inc are laying down the boots before exchanging a single glance and whip the ladies toward each other. Both Megumi and Aiya reverse the whips, but it isn't enough as Mayhem and Malice simply avoid each other and harshly slam the much smaller women into the corners with stiff clotheslines. Mayhem flops Aiya over the top rope while Malice lifts Megumi into the air and tosses her to the hard backyard dirt outside the ring. Meanwhile, the Indy champion has taken complete control over Delilah and takes her down to the canvas with a roundhouse kick. The audience tries to warn her but it's too late. She turns around and is greeted with a superkick party that sends her flailing to the outside after the tandem superkicks nail her right in the face. The F.E.U.D stand tall in the ring to a plethora of boos from the audience after Damage Inc aid Ashe back to her feet. They egg the audience on a bit as the members of Shinijoshi all slowly start getting to their feet. Lacey Savage instructs that they focus on the Indy champion before starting to lay down boots on Megumi Sengoku to prevent her from getting back up too soon. Damage Inc both lean over the top rope and grab Narumi by the hair, lifting her easily to the ring apron and locking her up into a double suplex. She flails about enough as they lift her into the air to release herself from the hold and flip onto her feet in the ring. Tsutsumi quickly rushes to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring. Aiya makes an attempt to get into the ring but Ashe is there to shoulder check her right off the ring apron and stumbling to the ground outside. Damage Inc turns around and Narumi is able to connect with a springboard forearm smash to Malice. This only sends him back in a stumble however, not fully taking him off his feet, and Mayhem is right there to pound down on the champion. Narumi is able to take the blows in stride and nails another picture perfect roundhouse kick, but STILL Mayhem is also not knocked from his footing as he stumbles backward into the ropes. Ashe sneaks up from behind Narumi and takes her to the canvas with a vicious poison-rana.
Evans: Sneaky sneaky Dalilah Ashe, you can never turn your back on her!
Kushnir: I don't even know where to look there's so much going on!
Aiya is quickly back to her feet and makes another attempt to enter the ring to help her fellow stablemate. Ashe is there once again to check her off the ring apron, but Aiya scouts it this time and grabs the back of Delilah's head as she hops off the ring apron. She dunks Ashe by the throat off the top rope as she takes herself to the ground outside, letting go to watch Ashe bound off the ropes and slam to the canvas. Aiya then reaches into the ring and pulls Delilah out by the feet. Meanwhile, Megumi uses the distraction as Lacey takes a moment to bring Damage Inc's attention to Ashe being pulled out of the ring. Double fist from Megumi to Lacey's midsection. Triangle Lancer! A furious Megumi yanks on Lacey's arm after nailing her down into the dirt to a wail of a scream from the manager. Mayhem and Malice had just planted the Indy champion down in the ring with their Shock and Awe trademark double team of a buckle bomb, a running knee, a corner splash and a vicious spear when their in-ring synergy starts breaking down before them. Malice and Mayhem take to the outside on opposite sides of the ring just after Megumi releases the hold on Lacey and Aiya nails Ashe with her signature enziguri, it's Lights Out for Delilah Ashe! Now it's Mayhem versus Megumi and Malice versus Aiya on the outside as the four begin to nail one another with stiff right hands and forearms. Mayhem is barely able to contain the onslaught poured onto him by a very furious and focused Megumi and, instead of trying to fight back, he simply scoops her up and yells at the top of his lungs as he runs full sprint through the backyard fencing! Four boards on the backyard fence have been completely split and broken as the two barrel through them, going limp on the other side. Malice too is having difficulties wrangling in Aiya as she pounds away with stiff kicks both low and high. He attempts to scoop her up in some sort of suplex but Aiya shoves off and CLOCKS him with a nasty slap to the face. This proceeds to only wake Malice who then grabs the back of Aiya's head and connects with one, two, three headbutts to the noggin of the headhuntress. Malice yells for the audience to get the hell out of the way. They listen to the behemoth of a man and clear a section of the wooden stands before Malice lifts Aiya up and throws her onto the stands.
Evans: That one's gonna hurt tomorrow ....
Kushnir: Hope she doesn't get a splinter from those bleachers. Splinters suck.
Malice goes to continue the assault on the headhuntress when she connects with a stiff kick to the face out of nowhere. Malice goes tumbling off the stands and rolls onto the ground as Aiya slowly gets to a standing position on the stands. She sees an opportunity and hits the sky for her corkscrew moonsault she calls SNAFU but Malice rolls out of the way. Aiya is barely able to scout to evasion and somehow lands on her feet. She stumbles backward to one knee as Malice gets to the same position next to her. BUZZSAW KICK! Aiya nails her finisher, OTK, right in the face of Malice. She quickly goes for the first cover of the bout.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
Delilah Ashe is just able to get to the side of the stands connects with a rolling thunder to break the pinning predicament. Ashe bashes Aiya with several forearm blows as the two get to their feet. She ducks a hail mary forearm from Aiya and grabs her from behind, blasting the headhuntress with her hellacious swinging DDT. She confuses Aiya with a deep and passionate smooch to the lips before nailing her finisher, A Kiss Before Dying! Delilah goes for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
Queen Me! Seemingly out of nowhere, Narumi had just gotten to her feet when Ashe hit her finisher on Aiya. Tsutsumi soars through the sky from the turnbuckle, planting a HARSH diving double stomp signature maneuver down onto the back of Ashe. Aiya even flops a little bit from the impact but the pinning predicament has been broken and the match continues. The Indy champion yanks Ashe off of Aiya and wows the crowd with her signature mouse trap pin. Low Diffa!
ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
This time it's Lacey Savage making the save for The F.E.U.D, screaming as she flops into the pinning maneuver and breaks it up. She makes her best effort to get an assault going on Tsutsumi but the champion quickly gets the manager off the offense with a hell of a kick to the shoulder Megumi had worked just minutes ago. Savage screams as she falls to the dirt and rolls away, clutching her shoulder. Slowly, Malice, Ashe, Narumi, and Aiya begin to stir simultaneously and help themselves and their team mates to their feet mere feet away from the opposition.
Evans: I have no idea how these teams are coming back for more here.
Kushnir: This is what the Backyard Brawl-B-Q is all about! Glorious violence and Bone Suckin' Sauce!
Ashe retreats around the ring for a moment as Malice goes and misses with a double clothesline. Aiya and Tsutsumi duck under the attack and connect with a gorgeous tandem superkick to the face of the big man just as he turns around. Ashe has pulled a few steel chairs from underneath the ring and is now pulling a table out as the two members of Shinijoshi make their way toward her. Delilah sees them coming and takes a few more steps back as she taunts them to come after her. The two Japanese women look to one another with a smile before continuing their advance. It is here that Megumi and Mayhem finally re-enter the fray with Mayhem tossing Megumi through the hole in the fence just as he steps through himself, a board from the fence in hand. The two must have continued the fight on the other side of the fence because both Megumi and Mayhem show signs of bleeding from their foreheads and bodies. Mayhem rushes forward and bats away another double superkick attempt from Shinijoshi by breaking the board over their flying feet. Mayhem connects with a double clothesline, taking Aiya and Tsutsumi down to the ground hard. Delilah Ashe takes a moment to set up the folding table outside the ring as Mayhem grabs one of the steel chairs and begins drilling it down on all three downed opponents. Ashe is instructed to lift up Megumi and does so, but the squirrely Shinijoshi member squeezes out of the hold at the last second. Mayhem rushes forth and plants the steel chair right into Ashe's face. Delilah Ashe has been busted open! Mayhem leans over to check on Ashe for just a split second, but in that moment Megumi pulls herself into position. Brazillian Kick! Magumi connects with her signature kick to the chair, bashing it into Mayhem's face as her turns toward her, then goes for the pinfall.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
THR-NO!!!
Malice is stumbling to the other side of the ring to aid his tag team partner and stablemate, but it's Mayhem who just gets the shoulder up in the nick of time. Big Mal looks around at the carnage that has unfolded on the other side of the ring and reacts with a sick and sadistic smile. Aiya, in the meantime, has pulled herself to the ring apron and procured not only a kendo stick that she has rolled toward Tsutsumi on the ground. She also pulls out a staple gun and begins to smile as she uses the turnbuckle post to bring herself to one knee. Narumi grabs hold of the stick and lashes out as Malice approaches, wailing him in the knee. He lays down a few boots to keep Narumi down but doesn't see Aiya coming. In a flying forearm style, the headhuntress bashes Malice in the forehead with the staple gun. She unloads not one but two staples in tandem in the man's forehead before he crumples down to the dirt. Now everyone is down for a moment, none have the advantage. All are giving it everything they have but each and every competitor is on the ground vying for air and struggling to even get to their feet.
Evans: The summer humidity is going to play a factor deep into this match for these competitors.
Kushnir: I'm still wincing from the staple gun.
The audience gets in an uproar of boos as from the backdoor of the home emerges Queen Melody and the Undisputed championship. She gazes out upon the hellscape that the main event has become, scoffs, and utters only one word before turning back into the home not to be seen again this evening.
Melody Malone: Pathetic.
Narumi must've seen Malone because she somehow manages to spring to her feet with the kendo stick in hand. She looks around at the bloodbath around the ring as both Malice and Mayhem are slowly getting to a vertical position. She nails Malice in the dome with the kendo stick but he nearly no-sells the shot as he merely grabs his head as he continues to get to his feet. Mayhem is up and WHAMMY! Another kendo shot to the dome. This one takes Mayhem to the ground hard as Malice comes to and starts to charge at Narumi. Running Spanish fly signature move, it's the Chaos Crusher! The Indy champion lands back first onto a discarded steel chair and Mayhem goes for the pin.
ONE!
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
THRE-NOWAY!!!
Tsutsumi gets the shoulder up about an inch before the referee could count to three. Mayhem is furious. He lifts Tsutsumi up and starts to march her toward the previously set up table with Malice stumbling in tow. Both Aiya and Megumi are starting to get to their feet, as is Delilah Ashe. Ashe is right behind Megumi, who doesn't see it coming. Memento Mori! Ashe locks in the dragon sleeper following her reverse ddt, nailing the signature move, but Aiya rushes in with a basement dropkick to the face before Megumi can tap out from the submission. Meanwhile, Damage Incorporated have pummeled the Indy champion into a prone position on top of the table and Malice is sliding into the ring and climbing to the top rope. As Malice leaps off the top turnbuckle to the outside, Narumi clocks Mayhem in the face with a hard elbow! She rolls off the table in the knick of time, sending Malice crashing through it in a heap! Mayhem kneels down at his crumpled partner as Narumi downs him herself with a kick to the side of the head! She rolls inside the ring as Aiya takes out Dalilah Ashe with the lights out! She throws a chair to Narumi who catches it with cat-like reflexes as she goes to the top turnbuckle and comes sailing off with the chair! She crashes on Dalilah's face as the crowd let out a collective 'ouuuuuu' and Narumi makes a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING DING
Reid: And your winner, via pinfall ... The Indy Champion Narumi Tsutsumi, "Headhuntress" Aiya and Megumi ..... SHINIJOSHI!!!! Aiya raises the Indy Champion's hand as the bell rings and the crowd gives them a raucous ovation. Megumi joins her two partners inside the ring and the three Shinijoshi members hug as chaos and carnage surrounds the ringside area. Mayhem and Malice collect Dalilah Ashe and make their way to the the back as Narumi raises up her Indy Championship to cheers!
Evans: Well there was truly nothing 'pathetic' about our Indy Champion here tonight (Miss Malone, ahem) as Narumi and her Shinijoshi teammates pick up a huge win in this trios main event! FEUD definitely gave them a run for their money but Aiya, Megumi and Narumi win the battle here tonight. Well, I guess this really was a WAR.
Kushnir: They absolutely tore this place apart, Marshall! Both teams brought everything they had in the spirit of backyard wrestling, and I'd say they did them proud here tonight. We might have to do this again!
Evans: Indeed we might! Don't forget everyone, you'll see our PRIME superstars in action next at Night of Champions! Bosa will enter the horrifying INSANITY CAGE to determine who goes to WrestleFest to fight for the Undisputed Championship, a title that may very well be held by Narumi Tsutsumi as our Indy Champion takes on Melody Malone for her Undisputed crown. And if that's not enough, join us at Commonwealth Stadium on September 4th for the colossal, the monumental PRIME 100! It's the Biggest Show of All PRIME! For everyone here on the Indy brand including my lovely wife Hayley Kushnir, I'm Marshall Evans and goodnight!
