---------------

Fog spreads throughout the arena, covering the screaming fans as "Asking For It" begins to sound off over the loudspeakers.



"MAYBE YOU TALKED ToO MUCH AND YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT, ASKING FOR IT, ASKING!
YOU CAN BLAME BAD LUCK, BUT YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT, ASKING FOR IT, ASKING!!!"

The fans scream for delight as the X-Tron explodes to life. Pyro ignites on the stage.



The camera pans around the arena as fans scream for delight and begin their chants and raise their signs high into the air. 

{ラベンダーが風に乗って咲いています。!}

{カラスはまっすぐに飛ぶ!}

{私にはヒーローが必要です！}

{モクシー、頑張れ！}

{頑張れクリス・ペイジ！}

{ジェイソン・アンダーソン、日本はあなたを応援しています！}







FN'R!!!

FN'R!!!

FN'R!!!

FN'R!!!

The camera flashes back to the X-Tron which shows the current FN'R roster... "Abnormal" Emiko Okita, "The Love Child Jamie Love", Ace King, Andrea Hernandez, Autumn Raven, Chris Page, Darna Dare, Declan O'Connor, Dickie Watson, Jason Anderson, Kendrick Kross, Lavender, Luke Saito, Mercenary, Morgan Payne, Moxie, Phoenix Winterborn, Queen Melody Malone, Ruthann Anderson, Samantha Hamilton, The Mechanical Animals and Vin Havoc. We cut back to Moxie who holds his HBO Broadcast Championship high, then Lavender holds up her United States Championship. she yells in pride as feed bleeds back into a look at the roster. There's another round of pyro.




And then the camera cuts over to the commentary desk, where Koala Duggan stands with a smile. Polar Duggan stands, bows to the camera and then sits back down. Koala sits down, takes a drink from his water bottle and starts.

KD: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Best Of Rampage Tournament Day 2. It's time for Round 2! 

P-DUG: Tonight we've got five B.O.R.T III Singles Matches, and all five should offer up something unique for the tournament.  

KD: You're absolutely right. In our main event, we've got Lavender defending her EWC United States Championship against Autumn Raven. Lot of emotions in this one, as Autumn attacked Lavender following our previous Rampage.

P-DUG: And for that reason, I think Autumn Raven might be leaving here tonight EWC United States Championship. She drew first blood, and now the shark is hungry. But before that one, we have Moxie defending his HBO Broadcast Championship against Cassius H. Kissinger. Cassius allegedly kidnapped Amis Shelton a few weeks ago, and now this is Moxie's chance to get retribution for Cassius, but some say Amis is evil and Cassius was in the right!

KD: I don't know if you're ever in the right to kidnap someone, but it will certainly be one hell of a match. Before we get to that, we've got Chris Page taking on Jason Anderson in a Steel Cage match. Dominic Sanders, Ruthann Hunter, and just about anyone else you'd think of to bring with you ringside are banned in this one. 

P-DUG: Chris Page wants to prove himself without Dominic Sanders, well tonight's the night to put up or shut up. But before he faces that conundrum, we've got Andrea Hernandez clashing with Vin Havoc. Andrea and Vin have a lot in common, but they've also got a lot out of common.

KD: You can definitely say that. This is a weapon's choice match, meaning the wrestlers each get to pick a weapon that will be there ring-side for them. Vin is used to this situation, but Andrea is pretty new to it. So will be interesting seeing how they clash. 

P-DUG: And then in our opening bout, it's Mercenary Vs Jamie Love. Last Man Standing. I love a good Last Man Standing Match. 

KD: Jamie Love considers Japan a home away from home, and wants to right his wrong and get back on track in B.O.R.T. Mercenary had better proceed with caution.  Well don't go anywhere folks, we will be right back after this quick break.

We open back to see Grizzly Duggan standing in the middle of the ring.

Grizzly Duggan: Hello Ladies & Gentlemen, I won't take too much of your time. I just wanted to thank you all for coming out to Friday Night Rampage. We've got a great card tonight as Best Of Rampage rolls on, and I am su...

Suddenly the lights go out. The crowd is alarmed, but the lights quickly return. Grizzly Duggan looks around confused. He shrugs his shoulders.

Grizzly Duggan: Well that's either tech issues or something in the back telling me to get a move on, so I hope you enjoy!

Grizzly shuts off his microphone and heads to the back.

MATCH #1
The Love Child Jamie Love Vs The Mercenary
B.O.R.T III Round 2 - Last Man Standing Match
Referee: Pierce Patterson

We cut back over to the commentary booth.

KD: That was weird, but now our opening bout of B.O.R.T III Round 2, it's Jamie Love Vs Mercenary, I have a feeling this will be a slobberknocker.

P-Dug: I suspect you'll be right about that one.

Chriqui: The following match is a Last Man Standing Match and is a part of B.O.R.T III Round 2. Introducing first from Takayama, Japan & weighing in at 120 pounds... THE LOVE CHILD, JAMIE LOVE!!!

The arena plunges into darkness as a haunting piano melody can be heard over the sound system. As the beat starts at 11 seconds a spotlight shines on Sara Rische playing an expensive Grand Piano to the left of the stage. She plays for 10 seconds when a second spotlight shines on Jamie Love as he enters the arena to a chorus of boos as his body guard John Bishop stands behind him. He walks down the aisle with JB following closely behind him, glancing out at the live audience, smirking at the with disdain in the shadows of the House hoodie he has on. As he climbs into the ring Sara makes her way down to ringside. He hands Sara his hoodie and stretches in the corner as (he waits for his opponent/his opponent stares at him with an irritated look in their eyes.

Chriqui: And his opponent from Hotel rooms across the world & weighing in at 365 pounds... THE MERCENARY!!!

Black Label Society's Fire It Up blasts over the PA. A flashing red strobe lights the stage as the rest of the room goes dark.

Mercenary swaggers out onto the stage with his face hidden behind a hard tactical mask painted to look like The Punisher's iconic skull logo. His eyes inside the mask scan the crowd. He crosses both arms, gloved fists clenched, across his chest and under his chin. The pose resembles a skull and crossbones. To either side of him the stage explodes in motes of red and orange flame.

Removing the mask the big man salutes the crowd and stalks towards the ring at a steady pace filled with menace and a deadly purpose he climbs between the ropes and walks to the corner where he throws a few shadow punch combos at the turnbuckle before turning with his back to the corner, his arms crossed again across his chest to glower in his opponent's direction and wait for the bell to give him the sign to come out swinging.

KD: Jamie Love is coming into this match off a loss to Andrea Hernandez, but I think his speed and background in this environment may give him a leg up here.

P-Dug: If he can keep away from Merc and tire him out, he's got a chance. But I think Merc's gonna drop him right on his head brother.

DING DING DING

At the sound of the bell, Jamie Love doesn't even think to hesitate as he rushes Mercenary and jumps into a dropkick to his left knee, Merc's knee locks and he falls backwards into his corner. Jamie Love kips up into a forearm smash into Merc's mouth. Jamie grabs Merc's arm and sends him into the ropes for an Irish-Whip, but Mercenary spins around and yoinks Jamie Love into him and then he goes for a spin down into the canvas with his signature Black Hole Slam! Jamie Love rolls onto his belly and grabs his back in pain, before finishing his roll to the outside. 

KD: Three moves into the match, and Mercenary's size advantage has already put a serious hurt on Jamie Love!

P-Dug: Jamie's going to need to be careful of that one.

Mercenary exits the ring and drags Jamie Love up to his feet by his hair, Merc grabs both sides of Jamie's head and flings the smaller man up over the top rope into the ring. Merc steps up onto the apron, and then goes to step into the ring, but Jamie Love grabs hold of his leg and dragon-screw leg-whip! That's the same leg he dropkicked! Merc falls backwards off the impact and lands outside the ring on his feet, sending another shiver up his injured leg. Jamie Love planchas over the top rope and lays out Mercenary! Jamie Love stomps down on Merc's jaw and then his injured leg a few times before rolling into the ring. Pierce Patterson begins his count.

ONE!

F... MERCENARY PULLS HIMSELF UP 

P-Dug: Jamie Love may have Mercenary where he wants him, take out a powerhouse's legs and they are easy pickens.

KD: He's got to keep up this energy, but he's taken a lot of impact already himself. 

Jamie Love bolts over the top rope and catches Merc with another planchas, knocking the bigger man down again. Jamie goes under the ring and grabs a kendo stick, before cracking it over Merc's head hard enough to break the kendo with one swing. Jamie Love rolls back into the ring for the ref to count.

S... MERC GETS TO HIS FEET.

Jamie Love jumps over the ropes into another planchas, this time Merc grabs Jamie midair around his throat before hoisting him back up and down into a chokebomb on the apron. Before Jamie can fall over Merc punches him in the mouth hard enough to rag-doll him under the bottom rope into the ring. Jamie Love rolls over to the opposite ropes and pulls himself up while Merc rolls into the ring. Jamie rushes at Merc and catches a punch to his gut for his troubles. Merc grabs Jamie's wrist and backs up into the corner. Merc slowly scales the turnbuckles and then the big man walks the ropes!!! Merc gets about five foot out on the ropes before letting go of Jamie's wrist and jumping backwards into a moonsault, Jamie Love misses and Merc crashes to his knees! While Merc's on his knees, Jamie Love sends a viscous shoot kick into Merc's jaw, laying the bigger man out!

KD: Jamie Love may have just won this match!

NINE... MERCENARY PULLS HIMSELF UP THE ROPES TO HIS FEET

Jamie Love sprints at Mercenary and eats a big boot to his face that doubles him over! Mercenary drags Jamie up by his jaw, but Jamie kicks him in his bad knee to drop him back to his knees. Jamie goes for another shoot kick, but Merc catches his leg and gets to his feet before dropping Jamie with a powerbomb! Mercenary drags Jamie up by his jaw and sends him into the corner, he follows in with a running splash. Merc slides Jamie up the turnbuckles, then he joins, sliding Jamie's head between his legs and then jumping backwards spiking Jamie's head down into an avalanche driver! Merc rolls Jamie over onto his back and jumps into a leg-drop across his throat for good measure. Merc pulls himself up, massaging his injured leg.

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via Jamie Love failing to make the count, advancing to B.O.R.T III Round 4 ... MERCENARY!!!!

Medical staff check up on Jamie Love, who despite being half-conscious shrugs them off as he limps and struggles to the back. Mercenary rubs his leg, and kicks it out some to get feeling into it. Merc salutes the camera, bows to the crowd and then heads to the back. 

KD: Mercenary picks up his second win of B.O.R.T III, and now he's headed to Round 4 with a Top 6 spot guaranteed. 

P-Dug: Jamie Love heads to the second chance match in Round 3, but I think he's a big threat in that one. 

KD: Don't go anywhere, we'll be right back after this break...

Camera cuts to ...

A segment in commercial format starts with Narumi Tsutsumi in jest is doing a parody of “what should I wear/buy” top videos, looking at a mirror while sizing up clothes hanging from a hanger with a befuddled look on her face.

Narumi: Jeez, after Stranglemania I just haven’t known what to wear to fit the strange situation I’m in. I didn’t think I could get here when I started. What’s an oni to do? I need something…… bizarre……something extraordinary…..no what I need is something….

Emiko throws Narumi one of Emiko Okita’s new T-Shirts.

Emiko: ABNORMAL!



Narumi and Emiko laugh as Narumi puts on Emi’s “Abnormal” T-shirt and strikes an exaggerated Shinijoshi double deuces pose. She then turns and points to the “Fight on!” slogan on the back.

Narumi: A shirt for all your abnormal needs! Take a lesson from us. Whoever you are or wherever you come from, YOU can become a badass biker, a teacher to people in need, a super mom, someone’s biggest fan, or a girl with three prizes to carry and defend in the EWC! You can be anything! As long as you remember one thing…don’t be afraid to be abnormal!

Emiko: And it also comes in Abnormal Purple! The best color.

Emiko points to her own shirt, grinning proudly. She strikes her own over the top adaptation of the Shinijoshi double deuces pose, then points down the camera.

Emiko: Don’t be boring and normal. Buy it now, or we’ll know!

She looks deathly serious for a moment before she cracks up and grins.

Emiko: I mean.. eh..

She has a hard time controlling her laughter, doubling over and causing a bit of a concerned reaction from Narumi. A moment later she manages to stand up straight.

Emiko: Be better than normal, be abnormal!

The two Oni Riders high-five, having amused themselves with the advertising as the commercial ends. Then we go back to the main show.

We open up backstage with Brian Spade wandering the halls of the Meiji Jingi Stadium. As a tall woman with flowing blonde hair walks by, he damn well nearly does a double take.

Spade: Umm … miss? Are you lost or something?

Brian is greeted with a chuckle as the woman pivots on her heels and looks straight at the interviewer. Brian’s eyes widen, the crowd cheering loudly as they recognize the familiar figure.

Samantha Hamilton: Aww … come on now. I know it’s been a while, but you haven’t actually forgotten me, have you?

Before the resident Friday Night Rampage interviewer could even pick up his jaw from the floor, he is interrupted by the sudden appearance of the current reigning and defending HBO Broadcast Champion, Moxie, flanked by Amis Shelton. The young Brit is already dressed for his upcoming match against Cassius H. Kissinger.

Amis Shelton: Well, well, well! Look over here and see what the cat has dragged in, Mox.

The look on Moxie’s face is the complete opposite to the wide smirk on Amis Shelton’s face.

Moxie: If it isn’t ‘The Titaness’. The last we’ve heard, you quit to become a family woman. What brings you back to my show?

Sam wags her finger as she flashes her own smug smirk.

Samantha Hamilton: You didn’t pay attention then, my dear Moxie. I made at least one Extreme-tron appearance hinting and even saying I will be back next year. I’m taking a slightly extended maternity leave at most, yes. But quitting? Never … and certainly not turning my back on my own brand. I also started here too, don’t forget. And …

Her grin widens as she looks around for a few moments before making eye contact back with The Young Brit.

Samantha Hamilton: Quite frankly? I’m very excited at all of the new scenery. It’s exactly like you said! The Queens and Kings that used to be at the top? They’re gone! No longer at the top of the brand anymore. And you! You’ve become a lot smarter and even more dangerous since we fought. I dare say our next encounter will be our best ever … and as eager as it makes me to get back in the ring sooner than later …

Her head shakes.

Samantha Hamilton: I’m a woman of my word. But for sure when I return next year … we will meet. I can practically feel it. And the fight will be a damn amazing sight to behold.

Amis Shelton playfully nudges Moxie in the ribs, still maintaining his grin.

Amis Shelton: Are you sure this is the same woman you curse every now and then? I don’t know… she seems kind of nice?

Moxie just rolled his eyes, being in the presence of a once very competitive rival didn’t put him in the mood for jokes. Amis then turned his attention to Samantha Hamilton.

Amis Shelton: I agree with you, it really feels like a breath of fresh air on Friday nights, the presence of the monarchy was really stinking up the joint. I’m glad that you like the new scenery, you can thank this man right here for making it all happen.

Amis stuck out an index finger in Samantha’s direction.

Amis Shelton: I mean you’ve obviously watched the product so you can agree that whilst those at the mountaintop fell, Moxie’s been the one to rise to the occasion. Did you know that he’s the longest reigning HBO Broadcast Champion in history by the way?

Sam clicks her tongue.

Samantha Hamilton: Come now, Mister Shelton. Remember the above mentioned X-tron appearances? I know for damn sure I said there and on my socials that I’m watching the company from afar. Very closely, too. So yes, I do know he’s the longest reigning champion … and honestly? I’m happy to see it.

Samantha looks over to Moxie.

Samantha Hamilton: I was hoping that someone would take it and elevate it to the heights it deserves to be raised to. Because, fact is, it’s still a championship, even if not the same as - say - the United States or Undisputed title and should thus be treated with the same respect. And you have done that and more. So …

Sam nods firmly.

Samantha Hamilton: I absolutely do acknowledge you here and now. Just know that when I return … gloves will be off, as I’m fully intending to return to ascend back to one of my former seats in the upper echelon, maybe even a new one if I prove myself well enough. But I’m definitely not going to simply sit by and do nothing, no no. For now though … congrats. You’ve earned it.

Sam extends her hand out towards Moxie who just stares at it for a few seconds before resuming eye contact.

Moxie: You can throw out all the compliments you want ‘Titaness’, it doesn’t change a damn thing between the two of us. Remember when you used to condemn me for only thinking about what was best for me? You said that this title deserved a better champion than that, yet here you are now singing my praises. You’re nothing more than a hypocrite.

Moxie removes his HBO Broadcast Championship from his waist, making sure that Samantha gets a better view of it upon his shoulder.

Moxie: At the end of the day, I’ve taken this championship to heights that you could only dream of and guess what? When I WIN the Best of Rampage Tournament, I’m going to do the same to United States Championship. And when Uncensored comes around? Well, I’m sure you’ll tweet about it when the inevitable happens.

Moxie turns to leave, but then turns back to the surprise guest of the evening.

Moxie: Oh and as far as our eventual next match goes? Why don’t you stick around and take a look at my match with Cassius later on? Because trust me, it’ll go roughly the same way.

Samantha Hamilton: I had full intentions of staying and watching. That’s literally why I’m here. But trust me when I reassure you … I have been doing a lot more than simply observing from my home. It will definitely not go the exact same way. That much I can guarantee … and you know as much given our history.

The two stare off at one another before Moxie pivots and leaves first, with Amis following. Sam shakes her head, going over the interaction that just happened as the camera fades.

MATCH #2
Andrea Hernandez Vs Vin Havoc
B.O.R.T III Round 2 - Weapon's Choice Match
Referee: Mike Michaelson

We return to ringside and cut to the commentary booth.

KD: It's always nice to hear from Samantha Hamilton, and we look forward to her return to Rampage next season! And now we go to a match, with two people Sam Ham has never faced, and could face when she returns!

P-Dug: I'm sure she's definitely keeping tabs on them just in case. 

Chriqui: The following match is a Weapon's Choice match and is a part of B.O.R.T III Round 2. Introducing first from Paradise Valley, Arizona & weighing in at 125 pounds... ANDREA HERNANDEZ!!!

"Ultranumb" by Blue Stahli hits the venue’s soundwaves. Andrea appears on the stage to some strong cheers from the crowd. Andrea acknowledges the crowd and completely focused on the task at hand. She gets up to the ring apron and uses the top rope to slingshot herself into it, acknowledging the crowd even further as she leans against the corner, confidently waiting for what comes next.

Chriqui: And her opponent from Brooklyn, NY & weighing in at 240 pounds... WILD THING VIN HAVOC!!!

The barks of the intro of 'X Gon Give It To Ya' by DMX pierce the arena, as the crowd anticipates the arrival of Vin Havoc. As soon as DMX utters the chorus, Vin comes bursting out of the back, looking pissed off and reading for a fight. He storms down to the ring.

Havoc steps to the corner of the ring and does a silent prayer while holding the cross around his neck, hoping for forgiveness on what he's about to do.

KD: Andrea Hernandez comes into this one off a win over Jamie Love, good momentum on her side.

P-Dug: But now she faces Vin Havoc, who despite losing to Mercenary ate some shots that would knock out most men.

DING DING DING

Andrea and Vin Havoc step into the center of the ring. At ringside on either side there's a table, one with a pink sledgehammer on it, the other with a steel chain on it. Both competitors look outside at their weapon of choice, and then before anyone can say anything Vin Havoc spins around into a backfist that catches Andrea off guard. Andrea stumbles backwards and then Vin sends a knife-edged chop into her throat. Andrea stumbles forward gasping for air, Vin grabs her in a side-headlock and then pulls her up and over into a vertical drop suplex. Vin rolls out of the ring and grabs his chain before rolling back into the ring. Vin begins to twirl it around in air and then he brings it down hard on Andrea's back! Andrea yells out in pain. Vin swings the chain wildly again and then brings it back down, but Andrea rolls to the side, and then kips-up to her feet. Andrea jumps up, wrapping her thighs around Vin's head, she grabs the top rope and hurricanranas Vin over the top rope outside through the table her sledgehammer sits on!

KD: Oh my! Vin was going for the kill early, but Andrea may have just ended his night!

P-Dug: Through a table, and bumping onto a sledgehammer, that's got to hurt. 

Andrea grabs the top rope and planchas over into a double stomp on Vin's back. She grabs her own back but reaches down to grab her sledgehammer and then roll back into the ring. After about six seconds Vin Havoc pulls himself out of the rubble, grabs his chain and rolls into the ring. Vin's somehow been busted wide open, and is bleeding like a faucet. Andrea brings the sledgehammer into Vin's stomach, and then grabs his wrist to Irish-whip him into the ropes. On the rebound Andrea goes for a sledgehammer shot, but Vin slides to a knee, takes-a-back, grabs a waist-lock and rips Andrea up and over into a high angle German suplex! Andrea lands hard on the back of her head, but she rolls through and jumps up, grabbing Vin's head between her thighs and then rips him backwards into a poison-rana! Both competitors are down after bumping on their head!

P-Dug: This match may already be over, both competitors just landed square on their heads! Stop the match!

KD: These two are willing to take years off their lives if it means advancing to B.O.R.T III Round 4!

Vin Havoc crawls over to his chain, before whipping it over the top rope and pulling himself up. Andrea crawls to her sledgehammer and uses it to stand. Andrea and Vin face each other, Andrea goes in for a sledgehammer hit but Vin whips his chain around the sledgehammer and tears it from Andrea's hands! Vin brings his other fist up, wrapped with the end of the chain, into Andrea's jaw and she's knocked prone. Vin drops the sledgehammer and drags Andrea up by her head into a powerbomb right on the chain! Vin covers while a winded Andrea gasps for breath!

ONE!
.
.
.
TW... KICKOUT BY ANDREA!

Vin Havoc drags Andrea up by her head and then he floors her with a lariat that flips her inside out, she lands stomach first on the chain. Vin pulls Andrea up again and floors her with a headbutt, Andrea collapses to the canvas. Vin rushes at the ropes, avoids Andrea, hits the other ropes, avoids Andrea and then on the third rebound with a ton of momentum goes for a massive... ANDREA JUMPS TO HER FEET WITH THE SLEDGEHAMMER IN BOTH HANDS AND CATCHES VIN RIGHT UNDER HIS JAW! The force of the sledgehammer uppercut sends Vin a foot off the ground and he crashes into a motionless pile. Mike Michaelson checks him, and that's it, that's it! It's over!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via referee stoppage and advancing to B.O.R.T. III Round 4 ... ANDREA HERNANDEZ!!!!

Andrea Hernandez raises her sledgehammer with pride while the Japanese crowd cheers loudly. Vin Havoc wakes and is instantly at his feet before the wave of pain hits him like a truck and he stumbles backwards into the ropes. Vin realizes what has happened, and he stumbles over to Andrea offering her a handshake that she takes. Vin then limps to the ropes, and drops down out of the ring to stumble to the back. 

KD: Andrea Hernandez with some quick thinking managed to knock Vin Havoc out, and now she's headed to B.O.R.T III Round 4!

P-Dug: Vin Havoc didn't get the win here, but again it took nearly killing the man to put him down. And now he's heading into Round 3, I think he might be a very dangerous person people need to look out for. 

KD: Vin Havoc is a natural killer, just like I'll be if you touch that dial. 

Camera cuts to ...

The camera cuts to backstage where Chris Page is getting ready for his cage match against Jason Anderson. In walks Brian Spade, who takes a peek around and approaches Page.

Spade: May I get a word or two with you, Chris?

Page stops stretching and stands up. He paces slowly towards Spade.

Page: What do you want?

Spade: Well, what's the deal with Dominic Sanders? Where is he? You two are always together.

Page laughs.

Page: Spade, let me tell you a little something. My cousin is an EWC Hall-of-Famer. But he's not my keeper. Now, he and I have had a few talks and we've come to an agreement that he needs to take a little step back off of my ass. I've had about a half dozen matches since I've gotten here and he's managed to get involved in pretty much every one of them. Now, I know I am in the cage tonight so his involvement wouldn't really be easy anyway. But I took it up a notch. I went ahead and told him not to come at all this evening. So he's back at the hotel or climbing Mount Fuji or eating sushi or something. His whereabouts are really not my concern.

Spade: Really, that is very honest of you...

Page: Honest? When have I been DIShonest? The fact of the matter is, Spadey, that I don't need any help to win my matches. Dom wants to say that if ya ain't cheatin' ya ain't trying. Good for him. It got him a Hall-of-Fame career. But plenty of others got Hall-of-Fame careers by doing it their own way. It's time that he lets me do my own thing. I don't need help to beat Jason Anderson Hunter Aggression Dopehead. Like I said the other day, he's undefeated this season. That doesn't mean a fucking thing to me. I am not undefeated. That doesn't mean a fucking thing to me. When we step into the ring, it's match one of one and that's all that matters. I could win, I could lose... and the next match will just be the next match. But I won't lose. Not tonight. Tonight is my night and Jason Anderson just happens to have bought a ticket to the show. Now, if you excuse me, I have to finish stretching. 

Page shoves Spade towards the door as we flip back to ringside.

MATCH #3
Chris Page Vs The Boss Jason Anderson
B.O.R.T III Round 2 - Steel Cage Match
Referee: Pierce Patterson

We return to ringside where Chriqui is climbing into the ring. 

KD: After hearing from Chris Page, we now watch him square off with Jason Anderson. 

P-Dug: More emotions in this match than I expected there to be, I am looking forward to seeing these two go at it. 

Chriqui: The following match is a steel cage match and is a part of B.O.R.T III Round 2. Introducing first from Zzyzx, California & weighing in at 227 pounds... CHRIS PAGE!!!

"Stepped On" hits over the speakers and "The Elite" Chris Page makes his way out from the back. He poses on the ramp before making his way down to the ring.

Page gets into the ring and waits in the corner for his opponent.

Chriqui: And his opponent from San Francisco, CA & weighing in at 215 pounds... JASON ANDERSON!!!

The arena lights start to flash on and off as NF- No Excuses came over the speakers as smoke appears on the Extreme Tron in big letters with his picture Jason Anderson “The Boss”. Jason appears on the stage wearing his hood over his head. Jason plays to the crowd a bit before heading to the ring.

He get inside of the ring and pop the hood off his head like AJ Styles on the top rope point a finger down to Angel. She is jumping up and down for her father as he grins and winks at her as he jump down off the corner ropes. He look right at the person across from him while he take off his hood jacket and start to test ropes a bit.

KD: Chris Page comes into this match after successfully defeating Autumn Raven, he's got good momentum coming into this one.

P-Dug: Likewise, Jason Anderson is coming into this one off a win over Cassius. So he's got momentum going as well.

DING DING DING

Without waiting, Chris Page immeditally turns around and tries to escape the cage. Jason Anderson comes up from behind Chris and pulls him off the cage wall down into a neckbreaker. Jason climbs back up the corner and jumps off into a diving double stomp into Chris' chest. Chris rolls over onto his stomach and gasps for air. Jason Anderson drags Chris up and sends him into the ropes, off the rebound Jason pokes Chris in his eye, and then he pulls him into a side-headlock. Chris Page struggles against the submission, but manages to get Jason up onto his shoulders and down with a death valley driver!

KD: That was some smart thinking from Chris Page to hoist Jason out of the headlock into a DVD!

P-Dug: I think I'll wait for the Blu-ray. 

Chris Page drags Jason up by his ears, before dropping him again instantly with a spinebuster. Chris Page grabs Jason's head and drags him up into a sleeper hold. Chris drops the sleeper and grabs a waist-lock, but Jason wiggles out of it and spins around into a FLASH! Big right hook out of nowhere, Chris Page falls down into a seated position. Jason hits the ropes and comes out into a PK! Jason goes for a cover! 

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
... KICKOUT BY CHRIS PAGE!

P-Dug: Jason just almost sent himself to Round 4. He might have this one right where he wants it. 

KD: I think you might be right, maybe Dominic Sanders was right about Chris Page.

Jason Anderson makes his way to the corner, and he starts to climb the turnbuckle. Jason turns around the climbs the steel cage to the top of the cage, Jason balances himself, finds his footing and then JASONS SCORE!, Chris Page moves!!! Jason hits the canvas hard, and may be unconsious after such a fall! Chris Page drags Jason up into a waist-lock into a German suplex, Chris Page keeps waist-control and hits another German suplex, and then a third German suplex. Chris Page heads over to the door, and asks the ref to open it. Pierce Patterson swings open the door and Chris Page exits.

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via escaping the cage ... THE ELITE CHRIS PAGE!!!!

Chris grabs the closest camera and kisses the lens before yelling I TOLD YOU SO, presumably to Dominic Sanders. Back in the ring medical staff check on Jason Anderson, who at this point has sat up. Jason looks kind of lost, but the haze fades and he winks at the camera. "win, lose or draw. I've got one more chance". Jason is helped up by medical staff and he limps off to the back with their aid. 

KD: Chris Page did what he said he'd do, he won this steel cage match by walking out the door. He had a big help from Jason Anderson knocking himself out, but a win is a win!

P-Dug: I have a feeling if these two face off again, Jason Anderson will hit Chris Page with everything he's got, AND THEN his score to pick up the win. But Chris Page for today is the victor. 

KD: Congrats to Chris Page, and good luck in Round 3 Jason Anderson. We'll be right back.

MATCH #4

Cassius H. Kissinger Vs Moxie
B.O.R.T III Round 2 Singles Match For The HBO Broadcast Championship
Referee: Toyo Yasahiro

We return to ringside and cut over to the commentary booth.

KD: Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. Pick it up. And if you're just joining us, you picked a great time to join the broadcast. As we've got a title match coming up!

P-Dug: Cassius H. Kissinger will finally stop the evil that is Amis Shelton?! But not if Moxie has anything to say about it!

Chriqui: The following match is a singles match for the HBO Broadcast Championship and is a part of B.O.R.T III Round 2. Introducing first, the man who left his khakis in Bawstin & weighs in at 222.2 pounds... CASSIUS H. KISSINGER!!!

Cassius heads out from the back, he throws his arm out in front of him and 'flies' to the ring while making noises with his mouth. 

Chriqui: And his opponent from London, England & weighing in at 202 pounds, The HBO Broadcast Champion... MOXIE!!!

The Gracious Few's 'Honest Man' hits the speakers, prompting the lights to dance around the arena with an ominous red glow. Moxie emerges from behind the curtain, with Amis Shelton following closely behind. 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. Amis Shelton joins him ringside, glaring angrily at Cassius. 

KD: Rampage's own Superhero, last week he fell to Jason Anderson but sometimes Batman gets his back broken just to come back and bash Bane's head in. Moxie will have to be careful.

P-Dug: Moxie won't be caught off guard, I can promise you that. Moxie is always careful. At this point, he has to be.

DING DING DING

Cassius and Moxie make their way into the center of the ring, Cassius raises his hands looking for a shoulder/collar tie-up. The champion extends his own hands, they interlock fingers and Cassius pulls Moxie into a side-headlock and instantly into a snap-suplex! Cassius keeps on the headlock and he pops his hips to roll up into another snap-suplex. Cassius pops his hips and goes for another snap-suplex, but Moxie breaks the hold and takes-a-back into a snap-German suplex! Cassius rolls through and stunts a superhero pose in the center of the ring, Moxie punches him in the mouth and then takes-a-back for another snap-German, this one keeps Cassius down. 

KD: The physicality you'd expect of this match is starting to seep in, but both men are also being pretty reserved in this moment. Likely saving energy for a finishing stretch. 

P-Dug: This is also their first time facing each other, you never know what to expect with a new opponent so airing on the side of caution is a good bet. 

Moxie helps Cassius to his feet by the wrist and then he sends him into the ropes, on the rebound Moxie catches Cassius with a forearm smash followed by a enziguri. Cassius stumbles backwards into the ropes, but rebounds out into a C H KISS MY BUTT REAR VIEW! The impact of Cassius' ass sends Moxie spun inside out and landing on his stomach. Cassius drags Moxie up by his head and then he pulls him to the ropes for a vertical suplex over the rope rope! Moxie lands hard on the canvas, Cassius slides back into the ring and then rushes into the opposite ropes and... Amis Shelton grabs Cassius' foot and trips him up! Toyo Yasahiro was looking at Moxie so he missed it, but he hears the thunk and turns around to Amis walking away and whistling, not at all suspicious there pal. Toyo starts to scold Amis while Moxie rolls into the ring. Moxie drabs Cassius by his mask and drags him up to his feet, but Cassius uses Moxie's momentum to jump up into a hurricanrana and roll through into a cover!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
THRE... KICKOUT BY MOXIE!!! 

P-Dug: Oh my god that was close, we came within a hair of having a new HBO Champion!

KD: I think most of Japan just lost their mind thinking they saw a title change. 

Cassius gets up to his feet and begins to stomp on the canvas, waiting for Moxie to stand. The crowd claps along. When Moxie gets up to his feet, Cassius comes in and SUPERKISS! Moxie falls flat like a sack of potatoes. Cassius goes for the cover! But Amis Shelton is on the apron yelling at the ref, who doesn't see the cover! Cassius gets to his feet and hits the canvas, before rushing at the EVIIIIIL AMIS and spearing him through the ropes off the apron! Cassius collects himself on the outside, and pulls himself up the barricade. He rolls into the ring and DRAGOON'S GLORY! Moxie's knee collides against Cassius' skull with a sick thud. Moxie grabs Cassius' head and drags him from the ropes to his feet into a pumphandle and MOXIE'S ENDGAME! Cover!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall and STILL HBO Broadcast Champion... MOXIE!!!!

Moxie rolls out of the ring and rubs his jaw, which is already beginning to swell following SuperKISS. Moxie grabs his championship and holds it high into the sky before checking up on Amis, who gives a thumbs up as he struggles to pull himself to his feet. Amis spits in the direction of Cassius and limps to the back while Moxie helps him walk. In the ring Cassius is pretty messed up Dragoon's Glory and Moxie's Endgame back to back, but he is able to point at the sky and vow to slay all evil.

KD: Moxie defends his HBO Broadcast Championship, and is headed to the final 6 of B.O.R.T III. The most accomplished HBO Broadcast Champion in history does it again. 

P-Dug: And to Cassius' credit, he probably had the match won with that SuperKISS. But Amis interference combined with Moxie hitting his two strongest moves, no one is getting out of that. 

KD: I'd love to see these two ru...

EWC... HE... IS... COMING... SOON.

Autumn Raven Vs Lavender
B.O.R.T III Round 2 Singles Match For The United States Championship
Referee: Toyo Yasahiro

We return to ringside where commentary looks very confused.

KD: Sorry about that folks, not sure what that video interference was all about. But now we've got our main event. It's Lavender defending her gold against Autumn Raven. 

P-Dug: That interference was the crowd losing their collective mind over this United States Championship match! 

Chriqui: The following match is a singles match for the EWC United States Championship and is a part of B.O.R.T III Round 2. Introducing first 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.

KD: Autumn Raven is coming into this match off a loss, sure, but she's also coming into this match after blindsiding the champion with a Claw Of The Night Superkick. I'd have to give her the edge in the mindgames department. 

P-Dug: I think you're right about that one. Autumn had hours to mentally prepare for Lavender, and then booted Lavender's teeth into the cheap seats to make a point. 

Chriqui: And her opponent from Seattle, Washington & weighing in at 132 pounds, the EWC United States Champion... LAVENDER!!!

The lights go out as 'Challenge' by Cellar Darling begins to play. The lights flash in time to the intro until the first vocals hit. As the vocals hit smoke billows from behind the curtains and a spotlight shines down upon the center of the stage. The lights come back on shortly afterward and out walks Lavender. She looks out across the crowd as the crowd erupts into cheer. A smile creeps across her face as she embraces their warm welcome.

Lavender begins to make her way down to the ring with a calm and cheerful demeanour. As Lavender reaches the bottom of the ramp she walks over to the steel steps, walks up the steel stairs, and enters the ring. Lavender then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and holds her arms up high in the air to accept the warm adulation from the crowd. Lavender steps down from the turnbuckle and waits for the match to commence.

KD: But despite Autumn's mindgames and edge there, Lavender has basically been the face of Friday Night Rampage for a year now. And I don't think she's willing to drop that without being killed to do it. 

P-Dug: Ace King was able to knock Lavender off her high-horse, and then she instantly got back on it. I think you're right.

DING DING DING

Wit the sound of the bell, Autumn Raven rushes at Lavender with a missile dropkick right into the stomach, sending Lavender hard into her corner. Autumn is quick to her feet, and she jumps up into the corner, trapping Lavender between her self and the turnbuckles, and then Autumn begins to punch down on Lavender's head! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX.. Autumn Raven jumps down and bites Lavender's head, Autumn shoves Lavender back into the corner and punches her in the head two more times and now Lavender is starting to bleed like a stuck pig!

KD: Just a few minutes into this match, and Autumn Raven has made our champion bleed!

P-Dug: If this was a first-blood match, we'd have a brand new champion. 

Autumn Raven grabs Lavender's arm and sends her into the ropes with an Irish-whip, on the rebound Autumn turns her back to Lavender and jumps into a shiranui, that lands Lavender flat on her back. Autumn gets to her feet and jumps down into a fist-drop on Lavender's bleeding head. Autumn goes for a cover, Lavender kicks out at one. Autumn gets to her feet and hits the ropes, Autumn comes flying off and goes for a leg-drop, Lavender rolls out of the way. Lavender gets up to her feet and wipes the blood from her eyes, but before she can do anything Autumn Raven knocks her block off with a slug to the jaw, Lavender falls flat. 

P-Dug: Autumn Raven has complete control of the champion in this one, I didn't expect this at all!

KD: I told you, the mind games they can work. 

Autumn Raven grabs Lavender's ankles and drags her over to the corner, Autumn then falls backwards and slingshots Lavender's head right into the top turnbuckle, Lavender stumbles back and Autumn Raven rolls her up!

ONE!
.
.
.
TW... KICKOUT BY LAVENDER!

Autumn Raven drags Lavender up by her hair, and another roll-up!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
.
THR... KICKOUT BY LAVENDER!

KD: We might be seeing a new United States Champion if this keep up!

P-Dug: Autumn Raven is relentless!

Autumn Raven pulls Lavender up to her knees by her wrist, Autumn kicks Lavender in the face twice before pulling Lavender into a standing position. Autumn Raven swings up over Lavender's arm while pulling Lavender down into a reverse DDT, LIGHTS OUT! Lavender lay motionless in the ring following Autumn's secondary finishing maneuver. Autumn Raven shakes her finger, she's not done yet. Autumn Raven drags Lavender up by her hair, Autumn Raven licks the blood of Lavender's forehead and then spits it back into her face like a mist, Autumn Raven grabs on an underhook and lifts Lavender onto her shoulders in butterfly lift... Lavender struggles mid-air, gets free and jumps down while bringing Autumn's head down into a DDT, spiking Autumn right on the top of her head! Lavender's adrenaline is pumping as she gets to her feet and yells in defiance. Lavender drags Autumn Raven up by her hair, HEADBUTT! ANOTHER HEADBUTT! Lavender hooks the arms and drops Autumn right on her head with a Butterfly Effect Tiger Bomb! Lavender grabs Autumn up by her head, grabs her with both hands and AMITY AFFLICTION SITOUT SPINEBUSTER! But with her own finishing maneuver, Lavender is out of gas and lays unable to cover!

P-Dug: Both champion and challenger are wiped out, whoever is the first to move in this one, they will probably leave United States Champion!

KD: Down to the wire absolutely!

Lavender rolls onto her belly and crawls over to the bottom rope, Lavender grabs it and pulls herself up to the second rope, then third rope. Lavender releases the ropes to stand on her own and she spins around to Autumn Raven, who rushes at her on instinct. Autumn Raven catches Lavender with a lariat, and they both almost topple over from lack of energy. Autumn Raven slaps herself a few times and then rushes at the ropes, Autumn comes in with another rebound and LAVENDER CATCHES HER UP AND DOWN INTO AMITY AFFLICTION. Lavender covers!!!

ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!

DING DING DING

Chriqui: And your winner, via pinfall, and STILL EWC United States Champion ... LAVENDER!!!

Lavender crawls to the ropes and pulls herself up again. She's handed her championship which she raises with pride. Lavender stumbles to the middle of the ring and holds it a little higher, before exiting the ring. Autumn Raven looks at the roof of the building, a look of disbelief and shock on her face. Autumn Raven rolls onto her belly, up to her knees, and then she punches the ring a few times before rolling of it and kicking the barricade. After this, Autumn just looks somber heading to the back. 

KD: Lavender withstood the storm. After a lot of brain damage and even being bloodied, Lavender is leaving United States Champion nonetheless. 

P-Dug: Autumn Raven got extremely close to leaving with the United States Championship, I think she's on the cusp of breaking through into the main event scene permanently. 

KD: Congratulations to Lavender who successfully defended her EWC United States Championship here tonight. We'll see you next time folks!
