On the MacTron, this episode of FSW begins with its opening video montage detailing many of the historic events that have taken place in the five-year history of Future Stars of Wrestling. From past champions like Jason Hunter, Dixie Dubois, Amis Shelton, Magdalena Lockheart, and Otaki all standing underneath an old FSW logo to the more current Future Stars Champions like Xavier Reid, Cletus Franklin, Robina Hood, Robbie Rayder, and Stitches tearing down that mold...
As more pyro goes off the the FSW logo appears and flashes of the roster appear on the screen such as Killjoy Ito,Mercenary, Jason Rayne, Ezio DeLuca and finally Sebastian Conner. Then, the camera cuts to a shot from StangleMania XV of Wes Walker retaining the North American championship before fading into a shot of Candy standing tall over Stitches after Carnival Carnage, the FSW title in the air...
The camera pans around the loud and out of control audience. As the fireworks continue to explode, the fans chant and cheer! The atmosphere inside the Cow Palace seemed to be charged with that ten million volts of electricity as described in the song. Cameras pan around the arena to catch some of the signage that many fans have brought to the Cow Palace with them here tonight. The FSW fan-base is as adamant about having their voices heard now as ever:
#JUSTICEFORKYLE!
THE GOLDEN RAYDERS ARE FINALLY HERE!
FSW: BEST SHOW ON ANY NIGHT!
THE CARNIVAL CLOWN IS COMING FOR HIS CROWN XAVIER!!
KILLJOY ITO: THE ACE OF THE X-DIVISION!!!
"F-S-DUB!!!"
"F-S-DUB!!!"
"F-S-DUB!!!"
"F-S-DUB!!!"
"F-S-DUB!!!"
"F-S-DUB!!!"
"F-S-DUB!!!"
The lights come back to full and the fans offer one last rousing cheer at the opening festivities. Tonight's announcers are on standby and ready for the show to begin.
Watson: We are back on the streets that we call home folks...Daly City, California and we are LIVE! from the historical Cow Palace in what could be on of our final shows from this building!! Welcome to FSW! I am Tim Watson, with me as always tonight i Cid Sydney!
Sydney: Final indeed Tim, We have two more FSW shows left after tonight and they are the final two EVER as next season we prepare to transition to PARAMOUNT Wrestling. Tonight, though FSW celebrates a massive slate of victories earned at the Rumble in South Africa! Including the Carnival Clown himself, Stitches, winning the whole damn rumble!!! The Orange Brand will be competing for the EWC Undisputed championship at WRESTLEFEST!
Watson: You sound down right excited, Cid! But yes, Stitches won the Rumble in South Africa and as such will be competing for the EWC Undisputed championship at WrestleFest in December, against either Xavier Reid OR... Jordan Freakin' Sharpe! We will fins out soon enough as they do battle at the next Prime event! The Rumble also saw the Love club complete the collection so to speak as Killjoy Ito is now a champion once again. He somehow found that extra gear and defeated Ace King for the X-Division championship! And in the battle of the GMs we saw our leader Chris Brock shake off ten YEARS of rust and come out on top and prove that while FSW may have lost at Parabellum, we have not lost the war! In other action, we saw Robbie Rayder become the first person to hold both the FSW and North American championships as he was victorious over Ezio DeLuca and in what can only be descibed as -
Sydney: A drug induced, Stanley Kubrick-esque, sugar fueled dream?
Watson: I was going to say an intricately elaborate spectacle, but that works too. I am of course talking about the Candy Castle match in which Candy retained her FSW Championship and hopefully FINALLY ending the saga of Candy and Stitches! Moving our focus to the present though, we have another stacked card for you tonight as FOUR of Prime's biggest stars make appearances tonight. Jamie Matthews will take on Stevie Von Wilde in our opening bout, Carter Normandy and Ellitot bowman IV will take on SMILE as Stitches reunites with his tag partner Felix Lestrange and then former
Syndey: Undisputed, International, Tag Team, and Indy champion and sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer DOMINIC SANDERS will grace us with his presence as he takes on Kiljoy Ito!
Watson: Indeed. And then we also have Jason Hunter taking on Marcu$ $t. James as well as a big fight in the tree, Kuroiki, takes on Wes Walker and Rampage is in the house tonight as well as Samantha Hamilton, fresh off of losing the United Stated championship, will take on the gatekeeper of FSW, Mercenary. In our Main Event we have The GOLDEN RAYDERS, the King and Queen of the candy castle, Candy and Robbie Rayder, taking on new comer Winthrop Bradley Esquire and the returning Allen Anderson!

The arena goes dark suddenly.
Sydney: What is all this, then?
Watson: It IS October so it's the Spoopy season!
Fog starts to creep in as the MacTron seems to reboot. Mötley Crüe's ‘Home Sweet Home’ begins. The fog is backlit beautifully as an image of Otaki appears on the Screen. It is of her last appearance in FSW and the color slowly fades to black and white.
As the song continues and the lyrics start, more and more images pop up of other notable FSW greats: Magdalena Lockheart Smokey Franklin, Sarah Roberts, Draco Lazarus, Sebastian Conner, all fade to black and white.
Watson: Did…did I miss something? Is this a memorial?
Sydney: I sure hope not. Draco owes me 10 bucks!
As the second verse starts, other FSW notables show up; Xavier Reid, Melody Malone, but instead of black and white, their pictures fade into the colors of the brands they jumped ship to.
Vince Neill: I'm on my way/ I'm on my wa-a-ay/ Home Sweet Hoooooome!
Once the chorus hits, all the spotlights converge on a single point in the fog and standing there is Kyle Gautier, standing in a nice purple suit and grinning from ear to ear!
Watson: Holy…Kyle Gautier is back in the Cow Palace for the first time in months!
Sydney: He made an ill advised surprise appearance at the Rumble after months of nothing! Nice of him to wear pants.
Kyle makes his way to the ring, still wearing the healing marks of his unfortunate attack at the most recent Event. He takes a bit of time to get there, soaking in the admiration of the fans. Once he gets there, he immediately grabs a microphone.
Gautier: So…surprise! I hope you didn't miss me too much, Nation, but know I missed you!
They emote their appreciation and he calms them down.
Gautier: It's much appreciated, y'all. Do know that. But I do not have a lot of time so I've got to make this quick an be make it count. I'm sure you are all wondering my feelings on the 'incident’ in South Africa. It's been all anyone wanted to talk to me about since it happened. If you didn't see it, long story short, I became another in a long line of stepping stones to help your former FSW Queen to ascend. And then, her …I wanna say Welsh friend added insult to injury by not only injuring me but then trying to look at my “undercarriage" and insult me by not being able to see my dingding. So first thing, Rory, there is no feasible way to wear a Kilt in the proper way as this is a product that children consume. There is no way I want to spend the rest of my life going door to door announcing my presence any time I move residences.
And secondly, to Mel, as the person who has known you the longest in this company, the one person who has always seen your aspirations and applauded you ascending past the ranks of your less than total upbringing, the one voice of positivity when conversations of you would begin, I want you to know…
He takes a second to compose himself.
Gautier:…I forgive you. I always knew that the day would come where you would lash out. The frog always knows the Scorpion will sting him at the end of the journey. I'm surprised it took you this long, honestly. But I do have to know…was it worth it?
Pause.
Gautier: Was it worth trying to throw away the one person who would never discourage you and would give you the shirt off his back? It seemed real important to get that spike in reaction but since then, what? All I know is, you lit a match but the explosion was less than desirable. Honestly, I wish you well in your career. I always have. And if this is what turns your dipping confidence in your abilities around, well, I'm all the more proud to have been the catalyst. Because then you'll have to face the fact that, despite having a stellar first half of this year, I will be the reason your career fails or succeeds.
He smirks.
Gautier: And FSW? I'm home. If anyone wants to see me in this ring, I openly invite all comers. Brock? Make it happen.
“The Man" starts playing, as Kyle steps up to the corner turnbuckle and poses for the fans.
Watson: Strong words from the former North American Champion, but the more important thing is that THE KILTBROS ARE BACK!!! D.O.G recently returned to PRIME, Cyrus Black is going to make his return soon and now Mr. Leg Day himself has returned!!
Sydney: We’ll have to see if anyone takes him on his offer!
SINGLES MATCH
Jamie Matthews
VS Stevie Von Wilde
Watson: It's time for the opening match for the one hundred and third episode of FSW. Stevie Von Wilde is in the ring and Cid, he didn't do so well in the gauntlet match his last time on FSW.
Sydney: That's right, mate. He was the first one eliminated when Brett Kennedy hit the Seal of Approval. Of course we know that the Mercenary went on to win that match and earned himself a shot at the North American Championship at WrestleFest.
Watson: He hopes to provide a spark to his career here this evening when he steps into the ring with Prime's own Jamie Matthews!
Sparklers go off like pyro and 'Radio' starts playing. After a few seconds, Jamie Matthews walks onto the stage, thrusting his pelvis at the ladies in the arena. Lorenzo is next to him hiding his face out of embarrassment for his friend. As they walk down the ramp, Jamie goes up to the women in the front row and hits on them. When he gets rejected, he goes on to the next woman like nothing happened. This goes on until Lorenzo drags Jamie away from the woman and shoves him towards the ring. After he gets in the ring he still winks at the women at ringside.
Starr: His opponent... from South Los Angeles... he is "The Hottest White Guy You've Ever Met" JAMIIIIE MATTHEEEEWS!
Watson: Jamie Matthews has been on quite a roll lately.
Sydney: It took Dominic Sanders, Melody Malone, and Ryo Hazama to eliminate him from the Rumble match! This man is virtually unstoppable! He is going to win this match tonight and seen Stevie Von Wilde to the showers quickly, mate!
DING DING DING
Jamie Matthews spends a few moments flirting with and winking at Isabella Starr as she leaves the ring. Lorenzo yells at him to pay attention, but he doesn't heed his manager's warnings. Matthews is now standing on the middle rope asking Isabella to call him. Suddenly, Stevie jumps up and grabs Matthews and delivers a belly-to-back suplex off of the turnbuckle and to the mat. Stevie gets up to his feet quickly and runs over to the ropes, climbing through and to the apron. He walks over and climbs to the top. He waits for Jamie to get up and he leaps off, looking for the Von Dub! He connects and stays on top for a cover.
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
Kickout by Jamie Matthews.
Watson: Early near-fall for The Prince of the Party!
Sydney: He caught Jamie Matthews by surprise there and almost got a quick win!
Both men pop up to their feet. Matthews runs at Stevie with a clothesline. Stevie ducks. Matthews runs through. He bounces off of the ropes and dives on Stevie with a cross body! Stevie rolls over and up to his feet. He looks for a fallaway slam. Jamie elbows Stevie in the side of the head. Stevie drops Jamie. Jamie grabs Stevie by the wrist. He whips Jamie into the corner. Stevie charges in after him. Stevie leaps up for a hurricanrana. Jamie drops down underneath and Stevie lands groin-first on the top turnbuckle. Jamie turns around and he climbs up to the top. Poisonrana! Jamie climbs on top of Stevie for the cover!
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: Here is your winner... JAMIIIE MATTHEEEWS!
Watson: Hey! Jamie got him!
Sydney: I told you, mate! The young bloke was going to put this away quickly and he did!
Watson: Certainly caught a few people by surprise, myself included. But what a win for Jamie Matthews!
Jamie rolls out of the ring. He raises his arms in the air to celebrate as 'Radio' begins playing. He walks immediately over to Isabella Starr and begins asking if she saw that and starts flirting again. Lorenzo rolls his eyes and tries to pry Jamie away.
Sydney: I am being told that right now we are going to go backstage to Lisa Goldrush! Take it away Lisa!
We open up backstage and Lisa Goldrush is standing with Wes Walker.
Lisa Goldrush: Thanks Tim and Cid. I’m here with Wes Walker who has said that tonight he will be announcing what title he will be challenging for at WrestleFest. So Wes, what’s the decision?
Wes laughs before he answers.
Wes Walker: Ah, not so fast Lisa. This is a big night. I’ve gone back and forth many times. I feel like my career really started last year at WrestleFest, so I can’t take the decision lightly. Last year, I won the North American Title after defeating Kyle Gautier. That title and myself are linked in history forever. It just means so much to me.
Wes pauses before going further and gives Lisa a look and an embellished finger wag.
Wes Walker: Almost got me there Goldie! Listen, right now, I still have a match to prepare for. Kuroiki came out this week and for some reason was incredibly mean to me. I’m not really sure why. We’ve never met before. We have no real past. But here he is talking left and right about how my championship run didn’t mean anything because I only had three title defenses. Uh, look around bud. Title shots don’t just get awarded willy nilly around EWC. You need to work and fight your butt off to even be in the conversation. I always kept myself open to any and all challengers. I don’t know if you realized, but I don’t book the matches around here, man. I just fight whoever is on the card. It’s bad luck for you that this week they wrote your name next to mine.
The camera zooms in on Wes a little further.
Wes Walker: I took my time as North American champion VERY seriously and I put some respect on that title. You had a champion that would do anything that was ever asked of him. Face up and coming psychopath Darlene in a Spin the wheel make a deal match? Sure, happy to. Face Kyle Gautier who had nothing but time on his hands? Yup, will do. From when I won the title to when I lost it, I only missed ONE week with a personal matter. Other than that, I showed up. Will they be able to say the same about you in a few months? Are you someone who shows up week in and week out? I guess we’ll see.
Wes takes a breath and runs his hand through his hair.
Wes Walker: And then Kuroiki has the audacity to say he’s bored by me? Are you kidding man? All you do is come out and watch TV. Who the heck want’s to watch you watch TV? Is this your new Twitch channel that you’re really trying to get going? You asked for a fight, and you better believe you’re going to get it. I don’t know where you got your misinformation that you think I would ever do cocaine for any type of drug to get up for a match, I’ve never touched a drug in my life. And I FOR SURE do not need any help beating you all around that ring tonight. So if you want to talk about ignorance and arrogance, I’d take a look in the mirror my man, because you’re going to be in for a RUDE awakening tonight.
The camera pans out a bit and Lisa Goldrush starts to speak.
Lisa Goldrush: Thank you for your time Wes, you ready to announce the big news?
Wes Walker: Got myself a little worked up there Lisa, I think I’ll wait a little later. Actually, Robbie and Candy will both be in the ring together tonight, maybe I’ll have an opportunity then. Thanks so much for having me.
Wes smiles at Lisa and walks out of frame.
Marcu$ $t. John huddles everyone together in catering.
Marcu$ $t. John: Listen, I just wanted to huddle everyone in here to celebrate the return of myself to an FSW show. I had some technical difficulties for FSW #102 but I’m back live and direct. Now you see I have here some of the best champagne money can buy. Now don’t be hesitant, grab a glass. I know you poor wrestling people aren’t use to nice things but M$J is here now and you can expect nice things like that now from time to time. Tonight, you’ll get to taste a $49,000 sample of Dom Perignon Rose Gold, made in 1996. There were only 35 bottles of this made, so cherish this moment because you probably will never taste something so lavish ever again. Let us all toast to greatness. So, cheers to a successful show!
Everyone just stands around with a look of disgust on their faces at the rubbish that just spewed from Marcu$ $t. John’s mouth. He quickly notices as he takes a sip and stops. No one wants to toast to him as he can clearly see and anger begins to show.
Marcu$ $t. John: You’re all ungrateful peasants, who should feel lucky that I invited you in here.
He looks around the room then throws the rest of his glass of champagne in Kuroiki’s face before storming off with a smile while a few members of the locker room hold Ku back as he’s trying to go after M$J.
SINGLES MATCH
Jason Hunter
VS Marcu$ $t. John
Watson: That guy is not making any friends here, at all...We are about to bring you are second match of the night folks! Jason Hunter will take on that very odd man, Marcu$ $t. John!
Sydney: Good to see Marcus actually made it to FSW tonight unlike last time out. As for as Jason, I have to say he did the FSW brand proud in his performance against Dominic Sanders this past Monday night on Brawl. He may have lost but he earned some respect, you know it’s not easy having a father who is a legend of this business. It must weight heavy on Jason’s shoulders and it also paints a target on his back.
Watson: I have to agree. I’m sure Marcus St.John would love nothing more than to beat Jason. You can tell that Marcus likes to play mind games because in the lead up to this match he said Jason would never live up to the Hunter family legacy. That to me is a low blow.
Sydney: All is fair in love and war. If Jason let’s Marcus get under his skin tonight and it costs him the match then he’s got no one to blame but himself.
Starr: The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from Tokyo, Japan... weighing in at 170 pounds... JASSONNNN!!!
End of my Rope by Trapt blasts out as Jason heads to the ring.
Starr: And his opponent... from Silicon Valley, weighing 210 lbs, it's The Young Mogul, Marcu$ $t. John!!!!
Before the ref has the time to call for the bell Marcus rushes across the ring and blindsides Jason from behind with a low blow. The referee pushes Marcus away from Jason and then reluctantly rings the bell.
DING DING DING
As soon as the bell goes Marcus is straight on top of Jason pounding him with his fists and feet. Marcus picks Jason up and plants him back on the mat with a powerslam. Marcus goes for the pin but Jason kicks out at two. Marcus then gets to feet and straight into an altercation with the referee before he heads up to the top turnbuckle, antagonizing the fans as he goes. Once at the top Marcus goes for a diving elbow drop but Jason rolls out of the way just in time leaving Marcus to hit the mat hard.
Marcus pushes himself to his feet and as he turns Jason kips up to his feet and lunges forward catching Marcus with a super kick. Jason falls on top of Marcus for a pin but Marcus kicks out just before the three count. Jason picks himself up, clearly still hurting from the low blow, it’s his turn to make his way up to the top turnbuckle. After composing himself at the top Jason leaps off and lands on Marcus with a diving headbutt. Before Jason can make the pin Marcus rolls out of the ring to the outside.
Watson: Smart move by Marcus, Jason might have had him there with that diving headbutt!
Sydney: Jason looks like he’s still trying to work off that cheap shot from the start of the match, a move that I do not condone... but kind of respect. Marcus is a man who does what he can to get the upper hand.
As Jason steps throw the ropes to the ring apron Marcus pounces up and swipes his feet from underneath him. Jason lands hard on the ring apron as Marcus pulls him to his feet on the outside. Marcus pulls Jason over to the ramp and hits a DDT onto the steel surface. Marcus makes his way back into the ring as the ref counts continues to count Jason out. Marcus cockily taunts the crowd as the ref reaches a seven count.
Marcus clearly thinks he’s got the win in the bag when all of sudden a loud cheer erupts from the crowd as ref reaches the nine count Jason pulls himself to his feet and makes a dash into the ring. He makes it just in time but as he get to his feet Marcus comes flying towards him, feet in the air he lands on Jason with the money stomp! Marcus quickly covers Jason but the pin is broke up by the ref as Jason has managed to get a foot on the bottom rope much to Marcus’s anger and frustration.
Watson: Oh boy j thought Marcus had the win there with that money stomp but Jason is a fighter just like his old man.
Sydney: It’s only a matter of time before Marcus puts him away, Jason is on his last legs.
Marcus picks Jason up and whips him off of the ropes, going for a clothesline’s that Jason ducks. As Marcus turns around Jason leaps backwards off of the opposite ring ropes and catches Marcus with his signature X move! Jason takes a minute to catch his breath before climbing to the top turnbuckle. He then leaps off with his Phoenix splash finisher he calls score... but Marcus somehow gets his knees up at the last second and as Jason’s body falls into them Marcus rolls him up with a small package pin which Jason just kicks out before the three count.
Both men are laying tired on the mat next to each other as the fans actually give them an applause for there efforts. Marcus gets to his feet first and pulls Jason up, lifting him up he goes for his bankrupt finisher but Jason incredibly manages to land on his feet as he’s flipped over! Before Marcus has to react Jason turns, pulls him and hits him with his finisher Hunter's Drop Zone. Jason goes for the pin and gets the win.
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, via pinfall... JASONNNNN!!!
Watson: A huge victory for Jason tonight! It won’t be long before we see this guy in the title scene. Winning championships is in his DNA.
Sydney: What a match is was though. Marcus St John was unlucky not to come away with the win, he pulled out all the stops tonight and now he has to turn his attentions towards his match at Youngblood against Kuroiki.
Watson: I cannot wait for that match and I cannot wait for Youngblood but first off we’ve got a few big matches still to come tonight. Do not go anywhere cause we will be right back.
As the scene goes backstage, we see a shot of the FSW and North American Championships sitting side by side on a table.
Candy: Pretty sweet, isn’t it?
At the sound of her voice, the camera pans out to show the Golden Rayders sitting on the couch behind their respective championship in the locker room.
Robbie: I like to think so.
Candy: Makes the two of us.
The Sweet Treat adds with a smile before getting down to business.
Candy: And we’d like to keep it that way. Which is why we’re ready for our tag match tonight. I know WBE and Allen Anderson would love nothing more than to take advantage of the situation. Can’t say I blame them. I’d want to do the same in their position. But we’re going to prove that they’re nowhere near ready for the title picture when we defeat them tonight.
Robbie: We didn’t get this far to go backwards now. We’re going to have an answer for whatever those two try and throw with us.
She nods in agreement.
Candy: However, they’re not the only ones who have their eyes on us at the moment. Wes Walker still has his golden ticket. Now we still don’t know which one of us he’s going to want to face...yet. But I know we’ll find out soon enough. Wes may believe he has something over us since he’s beaten us in the past, but we have also beaten him as well. So he shouldn’t get ahead of himself here. All I can say is, he better choose carefully.
Robbie: We look forward to hearing his decision.
Candy and Robbie: Rayders - Out.
And with that, the camera fades from the couple.
TAG TEAM SHOWCASE
Carter Normandy & Elliot Bowman IV
VS SMILE (Stitches & Felix Lestrange)
Watson: And our tremendous show continues to roll on here tonight.
Sydney: It is time for SMILE to dominate this mismatched team of Carter Normandy and Elliot Bowman IV
Watson: Unlikely teams are always an unpredictability. Who knows what Carter Normandy and Elliot Bowman IV are capable of.
Sydney: Losing, that is what they are capable of.
Starr: The following match is scheduled for one fall, from Up The Creek Without A Paddle, weighing in at 174 pounds... ELLIOT BOWMAN IV!
Elliot Bowman IV walks out onto the entrance ramp as 'Tonight' by Seether starts to play. The music fades out and is then replaced by 'The Boys in the Bright White Sportscar' by Trooper as quick edit images of different cars from different car lots flash across the screen.
Starr: And his partner, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, weighing in at 192 pounds... CARTER NORMANDY!
Elliot Bowman IV waits for his partner to come out so they can both walk down to the ring in unison. Carter Normandy heads out through the entrance curtains, brushes Elliot Bowman IV off and heads down to the ring alone. Elliot Bowman IV shrugs and follows his supposed tag team partner.
Starr: And his/her opponent, from the Carnival Of Shattered Dreams, weighing in at a combined 405 pounds... FELIX LESTRANGE AND STITCHES! SMILE!
'One Missed Call (2008 Theme) plays as Stitches and Felix Lestrange methodically make their way down to the ring. Felix Lestrange slides through the bottom rope and Stitches heads up the steel stairs and climbs to the top rope where he sits and watches as Felix Lestrange is seated at his feet. The two enter the ring and wait for the bell to ring.
DING DING DING
Right from the start Stitches ensures he starts the match, demanding that Felix Lestrange stay on the apron. Carter Normandy starts the match for his team. The two of them lock up in the center of the ring but Stitches manages to over-power Carter Normandy, Stitches laughs it off. Carter Normandy instantly regrets his decision but chooses to get back to his feet. The pair lock up again in the centre of the ring but Carter Normandy has no interest in a test of strength, instead opting to stamp Stitches foot hard. This gives Carter Normandy the opportunity to bounce off of the ropes and connect with a clothesline to Stitches. With Stitches ground, Carter Normany locks in a sleeper hold. Stitches, with deceptive strength, slowly begins to power out of it to the bewilderment of Carter Normandy before sending Carter Normandy up and over with a Snapmare. With Carter Normandy grounded, Stitches intentionally stomps Carter Normandy's foot, and hard. Carter Normandy cries out in pain as Stitches grabs his leg, wraps it around and drives his knees into the bend of his leg. Awfully close to Elliot Bowman IV, Stitches attempts to drag Carter Normandy back to the middle of the ring, but without Stitches realising, Carter Normandy is undoing his boot. With one last pull, Stitches stumbles over as Carter Normandy's boot slips off. Carter Normandy scrambles to tag in Elliot Bowman as Stitches simply looks bewildered at what just happened.
Watson: Carter Normandy wants no part of Stitches
Sydney: Can you really blame him? That snake weaseled out of his boot to avoid the twisted clown.
Elliot Bowman IV steps into the ring as Carter Normandy stumbles to the outside of the ring as he regains his composure. Elliot Bowman tries to take advantage of Stitches whilst he is down and swings a hard boot in his general direction, Stitches ducks under and rolls Elliot Bowman IV up for a school boy but only gets a one count. The two of them get back to their feet but Stitches is slightly quickly, spearing Elliot Bowman IV to the mat. Stitches mounts Elliot Bowman IV and starts throwing wild strikes as Elliot Bowman IV holds up his arms for protection. Stitches continues to throw wild strikes, Elliot Bowman IV manages to lift up a leg and hook it onto the carnival clown's chest where he shoves him, hard, into the twisted clown's corner. Felix Lestrange quickly slaps Stitches on the back, tagging himself in. Stitches quickly gets to his feet and argues with Felix Lestrange, and then the referee, but Felix Lestrange is now the legal man. With his back turned, Elliot Bowman IV rolls up Felix Lestrange but only manages a two count. Elliot Bowman IV is back to his feet quicker and grabs Felix Lestrange and collects with an impressive Belly-To-Belly Suplex to Felix Lestrange. Instead of going for a tag, Elliot Bowman IV opts to continue the onslaught. Elliot Bowman IV lifts Felix Lestrange back to his feet and attempts to deliver a Samoan Drop but whilst Felix Lestrange is on his shoulders he bites Elliot Bowman IV on the shoulder. Surprised by what just happened, Elliot Bowman IV drops Felix Lestrange. Felix Lestrange lands on his feet and delivers a swift dropkick to Elliot Bowman IV's back, sending him flying and landing on the middle rope.
Watson: That freak just bit Elliot Bowman IV.
Sydney: The referee didn't see it. Do whatever it takes to win, I say.
Felix Lestrange charges at Elliot Bowman IV on the ropes and drives two knees into his back. As Felix Lestrange charges over Stitches throws a hand over the ropes and tags himself back in to the disbelief of Felix Lestrange. Stitches steps back into the ring and Felix Lestrange steps out. Stitches violently throws Elliot Bowman IV off of the middle rope and stalks Elliot Bowman IV. Elliot Bowman IV tries to get back to his feet but instead sweeps the legs of the carnival clown who stumbles over a little. With the distraction, Elliot Bowman IV is quick to get back to his feet and connects with a Sidewalk Slam to Stitches followed by a cover, but only a one count. Elliot Bowman IV begins to stomp away at Stitches but the carnival clown is savvy, grabbing one of Elliot Bowman's legs by the ankle and twisting, hard. Elliot Bowman tries to fight Stitches off but the carnival clown twists tighter until Elliot Bowman stumbles over. Stitches lets go of the hold and gets back to his feet and charges with the Lethal Lariat (Clothesline From Hell), spinning Elliot Bowman IV inside out. Seeing his partner in trouble, Carter Normandy enters the ring and tries to stop Stitches, but Felix Lestrange also enters the ring and cuts him off. Stitches grabs Elliot Bowman IV and lifts him to his feet, Elliot Bowman shoves his away. Elliot Bowman charges at Stitches and attempts to connect with a clothesline, Stitches ducks under. Elliot Bowman stops abrupt and kicks Stitches in the gut, Stitches doubles over. Elliot Bowman grabs Stitches but the carnival clown grabs him by the hair and drives him down onto his bent knee. Stitches picks up Elliot Bowman IV before placing his head under his arm and connecting with the Sound Of Silence (Double Arm/Futureshock DDT) followed by the cover and the three count.
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, via pinfall... STITCHES AND FELIX LESTRANGE! SMILE!
Watson: Stitches and Felix Lestrange pick up an impressive win here tonight
Sydney: We're we expecting any other result
Watson: Carter Normandy and Elliot Bowman IV put up quite a fight, it may have gone either way here if they had their way.
Sydney: But they didn't have their way here tonight, they lost.
Watson: SMILE put on quite the showing. And we move on now with the rest of the show. Stay tuned for a hell of a show still to come.
The camera cuts backstage inside The Cow Palace to Lisa Goldrush, who is standing by
Goldrush: Please welcome at this time the NEW X-Division Champion Killjoy Ito!!!
The camera pulls back to show Killjoy standing next to Lisa with a masked Buddy Love standing between them. Lisa looks at Buddy, in his leopard print mask and tries not to laugh
Goldrush: And who is your masked friend here Killjoy?
She can’t hold it in any longer and laughs as Buddy shakes his head at being mocked
Love: You know it’s me...Buddy Love under this mask…
Goldrush: Oh hello Buddy, how’s the face?
Love: It hurts Lisa, I’m in quite a bit of pain, I’m not sure you know this but fire is extremely hot and should be left up to professionals…
Goldrush: Well it’s hard to feel sorry for you Buddy when you tried...unsuccessfully I might add...to throw that fireball in the face of Ace King…
Love: Well it WAS an X-Division match Lisa and I was going EXTREME...a little too extreme as it turned out but I have a meeting set with our amazing GM for later tonight to talk about my rehab options and medical treatments that are offered me under my health care policy here in FSW...he said to meet up out in the parking lot 45 mins after the show, under the third light in row 8…
Buddy points into the camera and winks but the wink causes him some pain and he grabs at his eye as Lisa shakes her head
Goldrush: Sounds like a kidnappers dream...Killjoy congratulations on winning the X-Division Championship at the Rumble and coming oh so close to winning the Rumble itself, finishing second to Stitches, I have to say as an FSW employee I was so proud of the two of you...and Candy with her 6th place finish, the FSW had THREE in the Top Ten, also Chris Brock won the Battle of the GM’s and you bringing another championship to the FSW I have to say WE were the big winners at this years Rumble!!!
Love: Yes we were Lisa and add in that Killjoy v. Ace King was the Match of the Night and the bonus money just keeps rolling in but we can’t rest on our laurels, we are once again a champion here in the EWC and with that comes everyone looking to knock us off our spot and take our golden championship...I don’t have to tell you Lisa that MY FAMILY has been pretty successful this season but now it’s MY time to shine as a manager of a champion and it’s my job to keep Killjoy the X-Division Champion so to all you our there thinking about taking a shot at the champ…
Buddy walks up to the camera so his masked face is all you can see on the screen
Love: You better think twice because these burns on my face are NOTHING compared to the hell we will bring your way for dare challenging the ACE OF THE X-DIVISION!!!
Buddy smiles and winces in pain as he backs up and once again stands between Lisa and Killjoy
Goldrush: Why do I get the feeling that the X-Division is going to be the death of you Buddy...oh well, tonight Killjoy your X-Division Championship isn’t your concern as you step in the ring for the last time against Dominic Sanders…
Love: Yeah about that, you know what fire really hurts and causes scars but so do words Dominic and your words cut pretty deep, first off I’m not 300 lbs, I’m a lean mean 230 lbs…
Both Lisa and Killjoy look at Buddy and shake their heads
Love: I am in NO WAY a knock off of Gil what’s his face...I mean look at him, he’s ugly as hell while I’m dead sexy…
Buddy sticks out his tongue and pumps his hips making Lisa throw up a little in her mouth
Love: Sure you might have beaten Killjoy the last three times you faced him but Ace King had lost countless Undisputed Championship matches until he faced you and broke through so tonight will be our break through...we will beat Dominic Sanders on our fourth and final time in the ring with you. We did what you couldn’t Dominic, we beat Ace King but you were right about one thing...Killjoy is one of the best the EWC has right now but he’s no puppet...and even if he was that logic makes no sense because wouldn’t Xavier Reid ALSO be a puppet and he sure as heck ‘got over the hump’...
Buddy shakes his head but does so a little too fast and grabs at his face
Love: Killjoy isn’t going to ‘lose’ me, we are brothers Dominic and closer than you and Gil will ever be and that eats away at you...we are real best friends and Gil is just a yes man and that’ why you like him but you got that toast wrong, you will not be cheering another Dominic victory over Killjoy but watching as your tears fall into your glasses of champagne...and honestly as far as toast goes you DID NOT STICK THE LANDING but fear not Dominic...I forgive you and to show there are no hard feelings I will show The Tripod how you give a toast...at your wedding, looking forward to it buddy and getting to do a dollar dance with Cora...I get handsy after a few sips just a heads up but tonight we say goodbye to Dominic Sanders and send him off into retirement with a loss to the X-Division Champion, The Ace of the X-Division...KILLJOY ITO…
Buddy smiles and grabs at his face as Lisa just shakes her head.
SINGLES MATCH
NON-TITLE MATCH
Dominic Sanders
VS Killjoy Ito
Sydney: I am very excited for this next match, Tim! Two of my favorite wrestlers in the entire company clashing in the ring!
Watson: There's no question that these are two of the most monumental athletes in the EWC in the past three years. Both have racked up the accolades like very few have. And they are clashing in the ring one last time as Dominic Sanders prepares for his incoming retirement.
Sydney: And don't forget that Killjoy Ito has never beaten Dominic Sanders before!
Watson: While this is true, I feel like this is a Killjoy Ito who is on the top of his game and one unlike any that Dominic Sanders has ever seen before.
Starr: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
The lights go out in the Cow Palace. Blue pyrotechnics burst up on the stage and down the sides of the ramp heading towards the ring. "War Machine" by KISS begins playing. Dominic Sanders steps out from the back in a navy blue hoodie and gold wrestling tights on, finished by white boots. The hood of his sweatshirt drapes over his eyes as he stares out at the fans. Suddenly, Cora Whittaker appears from behind the curtain with a gold dress and navy blue streaks in her hair. Sanders and Cora stand at the top of the ramp and listen to an extremely hateful reaction from the crowd.
Starr: Introducing first... from Fort Worth, Texas. Weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds and being accompanied by Cora Whittaker... DOMINIIIIC SAAAAANDEEERS!
Dominic beats his chest with both fists and raises his arms in the air with a roar. The crowd reacts even louder as he starts to make his way down to the ring. A cocky grin can be seen under the hood of his sweatshirt as he walks down the ramp hand-in-hand with Cora at his side.
Sanders rolls underneath the bottom rope and into the ring. He jumps up to his feet and stares out into the crowd underneath the hood of his sweatshirt. Cora joins him at his side. The two share a brief kiss in the center of the ring before he turns his attention back out to the hostile crowd. He grins and nods his head as he moves over to the corner and waits as "War Machine" fades out and Cora exits the ring.
Watson: Dominic Sanders just finished beating Jason on Monday Night Brawl two days ago. That ended a four match skid that he was on for the first time in over three years. But can he take that momentum into tonight against the X-Division Champion?
Sydney: I would hope so. It's not going to be easy. It never is against Killjoy Ito, mate! But if anyone is going to do it it's Dominic Sanders!
‘The Prodigal Son’ Buddy Love walks out onto the stage and raises his arms into the air and then lowers them. The lights fade out. Buddy jumps up and down all excited as ‘Deeper Deeper’ begins to play. A strobe light circles around the stage as a single white spotlight hits the stage where Killjoy Ito is standing. His back faces the ring and his arms are stretched out with his head down. The white light turns gold as gold confetti falls from the ceiling. He swings around to face the camera and the ring as Buddy Love runs up and motions to the X-Division Championship belt around Killjoy’s waist.
Starr: And his opponent! From Tokyo, Japan. Weighing in at two hundred and thirty-five pounds and being accompanied by 'The Prodigal Son' Buddy Love... he is the EWC X-Division Champion... KILLJOOOOOOY ITOOOOOO!
Buddy motions to towards the ring and the pair begin to walk down the aisle to the mixed reaction of cheers and boos from the fans. Buddy climbs up the steps first and holds the ropes open for Killjoy. After Killjoy enters the ring, Buddy walks up to the referee and offers them a few dollars to ‘keep it fair’ but then laughs and shoves the singles back into his pocket. Killjoy walks to the center of the ring with his arms outstretched and tilts his head back and soaks it all in. Buddy helps Killjoy take off his robe and unhooks the X-Division Championship and hands it to the referee before exiting the ring.
Watson: This man has been on such a roll lately. Rumble in South Africa might have been the most successful night of his young career. Let's not forget that Killjoy Ito is only twenty-four years old! And on that night he beat a future Hall of Famer in Ace King for the X-Division Championship and then finished as the runner-up to Stitches in the Rumble match itself! This kid is on fire, Cid!
Sydney: He sure is. And as much as I like Dominic Sanders, I worry that the young Champ will be too much for him tonight!
DING DING DING
Watson: Something we rarely see from the former Undisputed Champion. A show of respect for his opponent. He claims to be one of the biggest a-holes in this game but even he cannot deny the man that stands in front of him.
The two back away from each other and then dance around each other in the ring for a moment. They lock horns and here we go. Sanders shoves Ito backwards and then delivers a hard knife-edge chop to the X-Division Champion. Killjoy responds with an open-palmed slap right across Sanders' chest that echoes so loudly throughout the Cow Palace that the peanut vendor at the top row of section 128 could hear it. Sanders takes a step backwards while grabbing his chest.
Sydney: My God, mate! Did you hear that?
Watson: Hear it? I can SEE it!
Buddy Love laughs and jumps around at ringside as a handprint shows up on Sanders' chest. Killjoy reaches back and delivers a second one. Sanders retreats after screaming an expletive that the folks at home should shield their young children from. He steps through the ropes and to the outside and stands next to Cora as he regroups. He stares up at Killjoy, who stands back on the other side of the ropes waiting. After a moment or two, Sanders climbs up onto the ring apron and then steps back into the ring. He walks over to Killjoy and kicks him in the stomach, but Killjoy sidesteps it and sweeps Sanders' other leg out from underneath him. Killjoy jumps up for a double foot stomp. Sanders rolls out of the way and pops to his feet. He runs at Killjoy with a clothesline. Killjoy ducks. Sanders spins around. Falcon Arrow! Killjoy covers.
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
Kickout.
Sanders slowly gets up to his feet, but Killjoy stays on the attack. He picks Sanders up into a fireman's carry. Gut buster! Killjoy gets down and puts Sanders into a Dragon Sleeper. Sanders' midsection is exposed and Killjoy delivers a hard shot to Sanders' ribcage. And another. He clamps down on the Dragon Sleeper with his left knee into the middle of Sanders' back. The referee asks if he gives up and Sanders says no. Killjoy drives another right fist hard into Sanders' ribs. Sanders reaches up with his free left hand and grabs at Killjoy's hair and yanks hard. Killjoy, not appreciating that, stands up and then drops back down hard with his knee right in the middle of Sanders' spine. He releases the hold and then drops a knee right across Sanders' forehead.
Watson: Killjoy Ito is picking Dominic Sanders apart in a slow, methodical process.
Killjoy pulls Sanders to his feet. He lifts him up into a Last Ride Powerbomb! Sanders drives a thumb into Ito's left eye. Ito drops Sanders. The crowd boos at his cheap tactics.
Sydney: The great equalizer, mate. A thumb to the eye!
Watson: A cheap maneuver is what it is.
Sanders lifts Ito up onto his shoulder and runs into a powerslam. He drags Killjoy into the middle of the ring and grabs his legs. He hooks Killjoy up into the Texas Bluebonnet! Killjoy is in pain now. The referee checks him for a submission. "No" says Ito! Buddy Love is going nuts at ringside. He looks across the ring at Cora, who is shouting at Killjoy to tap out. Buddy runs around to the other side of the ring and stands next to Cora. Cora, looking uneasy, starts to back away from Buddy. Sanders breaks the hold and walks over to the ropes. Buddy backs off of Cora.
Watson: That filthy Buddy Love got a little too close to Cora for Dominic Sanders' liking and, if he isn't careful, he will pay dearly for it!
Sydney: We already know what Dominic Sanders' thoughts are on the bloke, given he used the term "three hundred pound fat lump!"
During the commotion, Killjoy was able to get up to his feet and moved to the outside onto the ring apron. Sanders, now seeing that the action on the outside of the ring is under control, turns his attention back to Killjoy Ito. He takes a step towards Killjoy only to see him flying through the air. KUSHU! Killjoy gets up and pulls Sanders up to his knees. Sanders is out of it. Killjoy bounces off of the ropes. KETTEI-DA! He lays on top of Sanders for the cover.
ONE!
.
.
.
TWO!!
.
.
.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Watson: Well, whether 'The Prodigal Son' Buddy Love meant to distract Dominic Sanders or not, the job was done.
Sydney: Dominic Sanders has now lost five of his last six matches, mate. I don't believe this is what he has in mind heading into retirement!
Watson: I can tell you one thing, these next two months are going to be a long, arduous end to a spectacular career if he doesn't get himself back on track! We will be back in a flash folks, don't go anywhere!
FSW 103 returns from commercial, and there’s hardly any commotion backstage. All the production crew members are hard at work as the camera keeps moving forward, eventually rounding a corner to a monitor showing the live feed of the show, delayed enough to show Killjoy Ito (celebrating his victory over/down on the canvas after falling to) Dominic Sanders, with Buddy Love looking (overjoyed at the outcome/somewhat concerned). There’s someone watching the feed closely, a hand up to their face and their back turned to the camera.
Person: Killjoy Ito… He really showed he can take a shot, didn’t he?
The person turns around, and the Cow Palace crowd cheers as it’s revealed to be none other than Ace King, who’s got a serious expression on his face.
Ace King: He’s having a bit of a moment as a result… But moments only last so long, and he’s created this moment at my expense. I should probably do something about that… Say, by invoking my rematch clause for the X-Division Championship at Wrestlefest?
There’s an audible gasp from the crowd as he takes one last look back at Killjoy on the screen before focusing back in on the camera.
Ace King: I’d only scratched the surface with where I wanted to take the X-Division before losing the championship, and so my objective is simple: Regain the championship and get right back on track with elevating the X-Division to a stratosphere it’s never known, and I won’t rest until I get it back. Bet On It.
With that, Ace briskly walks away from the monitor as we cut to…
SINGLES MATCH
Samantha Hamilton
VS Mercenary
Watson: What a night, folks! The WrestleFest picture is starting to take shape and one more match we KNOW that will happen now is Ace King Vs KillJoy Ito for the X-Division title!
Sydney: Talk about a bombshell that was just dropped on Daly City tonight! I can't wait!
Watson: Right now though its back to Isabella Starr for our next match, which features Samantha Hamilton from Rampage and the big man, Mercenary!!!
Starr: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, weighing in at one hundred and forty-five pounds, she is Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton!
'Indestructible' by Disturbed blares over the PA system. As it does, we see the forms of The Titaness and her husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter, standing at the top of the ramp. The Titaness saunters down the ramp. A sense of determination and resolve can always be found in her eyes. Despite wearing a more stern and serious expression, she's not one to ignore any fans or supporters. Every now and again, she'll give a wave or slight smirk. More often than not, however, the Titaness will stick to her more serious and stoic look.
When she finally gets in front of the ropes, the Titaness will usually slip through the middle and top ropes.
Meet The Monster by Five Finger Death Punch blasts throughout the building. A flashing red strobe lights the stage as the rest of the room goes dark.
The Mercenary
![]()
Mercenary walks into the flashing red light. His face is hidden behind a hard plastic tactical mask decorated with The Punisher's skull logo. He is stiff... hard... Frankenstein's deadly creation come to life. He crosses both arms, gloved fists clenched, across his chest under his chin. The pose resembles a skull and crossbones. To either side of him the stage explodes in motes of smoke and flame.
Removing the mask he stalks towards the ring at a steady pace filled with menace and a deadly purpose. Stepping between the ropes he walks to the corner and throws a few shadow punch combos at the turnbuckle before turning with his back to the corner, his arms crossed across his chest to glower in his opponent's direction and wait for the bell to give him the sign to come out swinging.
As soon as the bell rings, both Sam and Merc coming out swinging, haymakers from both competitors! The entire Cow Palace starts to shake from the noise the crowd is making as these to slug it out. Stiff forearms now from Samantha, but neither her nor Mercenary seem to be slowing down or running out of steam. Mercenary quickly sees that neither competitor is going to yield and he pivots, throwing his hip directly into the midsection of the Titaness, doubling her over. This gives Merc a chance to breathe and take a few steps back before coming back at the Shieldmaiden with a standing guillotine leg drop! Sam's neck snaps before hitting the mat as she hits hard. Merc with a quick pin, but only gets a one before Sam kicks out. The lithe Titaness rolls away, then slides back and to her feet, as if preparing to pounce as she awaits Merc to get to his feet. As soon as he's up, Sam chargers as fast and hard as she can, slamming into the chest of the much bigger Mercenary with a clothesline that sends the big man into the ropes. Merc loses his footing, causing him to reach out with arms for support on the ropes, but his arms get stuck! Both arms are now caught between the top and middle ropes. Sam sees her opening here and hits the opposite ropes, comes off and nails Merc with another lariat. Mercenary grunts, but doesn't really budge much. Sam seems to be frustrated now, as if she expected a different result. She shakes her head, hits the ropes and again nails Merc with a clothesline, but the big man again does not budge.
Watson: Hard hitting action to start us off here. Both wrestlers came out out, Mercenary got the advantage for a moment, but a slip of the foot has Mercenary in a very odd position
Sydney: Like the back seat of a VW Bug?
Watson: Annnnnd we now owe Kevin Smith a royalty check.
Back in the ring Sam is setting up one last time to try and inflect more damage on her opponent. She hits the perpendicular rope to Mercenary, then the opposite side of that, then uses her momentum to hit the rope comtpletely opposite Merc, takes two steps, jumps and then then flies as Merc with a forearm that hits Merc right under the chin and sends BOTH of them tumbling over the rope and to the outside! Mercenary finally gets his arms free with the spill as both he and Sam crumple on the outside! Merc immediately grabs an arm, trying to get he blood flowing back to his arms. Sam is underneath the big man, trying to free herself, throwing punches at his side. Merc rolls off of her, still trying to get the blood flowing again. Surprisingly, he is the first to his feet. He quickly realizes his advantage and grabs the Titaness by the back of the head and sets her up for what looks to be a powerbomb! he picks her up and looks to slam Hamilton onto the padded concrete on the outside, but at the last moment Sam is able to slip free enough to throw her body weight and turn this into a modified Hurracanranna, but she pivots the wrong direction and throws herself into the barricades at ringside!
Watson: WOW! I think Sam might have done more damage to herself there than she did Merc!
Both competitors are beginning to stir as Sam starts to crawl to the ring and Merc is trying to get to a knee. Sam gets to the ring apron and sees that just under is is a link chain. Hey eyes go wide for a moment, while on the other side Mercenary spots a second link chain on the far end of the ring apron. Sam looks to Merc, who is going for the chain and she grabs the one near her as well. The crowds is on their feet and absolutely buzzing as Matt Mercer warns them both that thy can't use those chains. Sam hesitates a moment but as soon as she sees the big man Mercenary coming at her with the chain wrapped around his fist, Sam wraps the chain around her fist and they both meet in the center of the ringside area and start throwing punches at each other again. Matt Mercer immediately calls for the bell!
Despite the Samantha Hamilton versus Mercenary match being over, neither wrestler has left the ring yet, even though the bell was called for by the referee. Sam is still clutching the link chain tightly in her right fist.
She's being kept in a corner by her own husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter, while the referee attempts to keep Mercenary from charging over at The Titaness. The two are simply staring at one another, looking ready to attack at any moment's notice should the other attempt to approach the other wrestler.
Watson: I don't know about you, Sydney, but this is kind of an odd sight we're seeing. Mainly from The Titaness. She usually has better control than this. In fact, I don't think she's ever had a no contest because she attempted to draw a weapon in a singles fight before.
Sydney: I suppose you have a bit of a point. Even Merc tends to follow the rules when they're asked for. I guess ... huh. This is a strange sight.
Both Joseph and Mercer and trying to calmly get the respective person they're keeping in line out of the ring. Both are stubbornly staying put, which is visibly making both Orion and Mercer anxious.
Joseph leans forward and whispers something to Sam. Her expression remain stoic. He lets out a frustrated sigh and whispers something else, finally causing her eyes to soften up a bit. By the time she looks up, though, Mercenary has decided 'the hell with this' and already begun exiting the ring.
Sam pats Joseph's shoulder, trying to signal for him to move away. He does so, albeit hesitantly. Samantha quickly goes and gets a mic for herself, re-entering the ring while raising the mic to her lips.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: Hold up just a sec, Mercenary. I know your promo was probably mostly rhetoric, but I wanted to clear a few things up, if you don't mind.
EWC's Outlaw does stop and look back towards The Titaness, though the sight of his eyebrow slightly raised hints he finds it hard to believe Sam only wants to talk. Sam nods, understanding his concern, and drops the chain. She gives a nod towards Joseph, who completely removes it from the ring.
Mercenary still looks uncertain, but the crowd begins to chant.
The cheering encourages him as he nods and walks back to the ring, although his steps hold a bit of caution in them. Sam offers him a small smile, waiting until he's inside and across from her again to resume talking.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: So I'll back up right quick. I ... have no excuse what got over me, so I'm not gonna offer that. Just a hope that by the time I'm done, you'll accept my apology. Now then, I heard what you said and honestly? You were only half correct. I actually had more issues with ... well ... your former crew, I suppose? I haven't exactly seen the others that were in FEUD around.
Anyway ... yeah. That's exactly why I finally teamed up with my sisters in that six team tag match back on Rampage, then very happily beat Dalilah in that Triple Threat Cage Match.
There were constant signs of disrespect from everyone else, typically in a verbal manner, towards myself and the other Shieldmaidens. I won't deny, though, your silence did make me annoyed. It seemed like you didn't mind nor care that Dalilah was constantly calling us insults like 'tramps', 'sluts' and other unnecessary, demeaning terms. With you seeming to be more or less their leader, that just didn't sit well with me.
Mercenary nods, hinting that he's following along with Sam's words so far.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: Despite what you and your crew continued to say and do - or not do, depending, I've looked up to you for quite a while. Because ... it's exactly as you said. We definitely had complicated lives, and that was true even before we found the EWC. Now, we're kinda similar. We both have a lot of doubters despite proving our worth repeatedly.
You're by far one of the strongest people despite not holding a title. It was honestly flattering to hear me winning the United States Championship was what helped you earn respect for me. For me, though ... that won't be the case. Because .... I need you to keep doing one thing. And that's refuse to give up.
A ghost of a smirk appears on Mercenary's face as he nods again.
I actually try to avoid grudges. Some people practically beg for me to keep hating them, but overall? Yeah. It's not really my preference. So ... while we can't erase what has already happened between the Shieldmaidens and FEUD - or at least the two of us - I wanna offer a promise and a handshake for the next time we meet.
That not only will we have an even better brawl than tonight, but it'll end more properly. What do you say?
Although he looks better compared to when he came back in the ring, there's still obviously some uncertainty in Mercenary's eyes. His gaze zooms in on Sam, who proceeds to offer her right hand out towards Merc. The crowd is cheering and starting up a new chant.
Fueled on primarily by the audience, but also a few other factors, Mercenary stalks forward and intertwines his hand with Sam's. The two raise their hands high up in the air as they stand side by side one another. The crowd cheers loudly, adoring and loving the sight before their very eyes.
Camera fades to commercial

Both competitors are beginning to stir as Sam starts to crawl to the ring and Merc is trying to get to a knee. Sam gets to the ring apron and sees that just under is is a link chain. Hey eyes go wide for a moment, while on the other side Mercenary spots a second link chain on the far end of the ring apron. Sam looks to Merc, who is going for the chain and she grabs the one near her as well. The crowds is on their feet and absolutely buzzing as Matt Mercer warns them both that thy can't use those chains. Sam hesitates a moment but as soon as she sees the big man Mercenary coming at her with the chain wrapped around his fist, Sam wraps the chain around her fist and they both meet in the center of the ringside area and start throwing punches at each other again. Matt Mercer immediately calls for the bell!
DING DING DING
Starr: Ladies and gentlemen, referee Matt Mercer has declared this match a NO CONTEST as both competitors used illegal weapons!
Watson: What has gotten into these two?! Samantha Hamilton never loses her temper like this!
Sydney: All I know is I LIKE IT!
Both competitors are still brawling, but have gotten back into the ring now as Samantha's Husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter is in the ring now, helping Matt Mercer to separate these two.
Watson: They're still going at it! I can't believe it!
Watson: What has gotten into these two?! Samantha Hamilton never loses her temper like this!
Sydney: All I know is I LIKE IT!
Both competitors are still brawling, but have gotten back into the ring now as Samantha's Husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter is in the ring now, helping Matt Mercer to separate these two.
Watson: They're still going at it! I can't believe it!
Despite the Samantha Hamilton versus Mercenary match being over, neither wrestler has left the ring yet, even though the bell was called for by the referee. Sam is still clutching the link chain tightly in her right fist.
She's being kept in a corner by her own husband, Joseph "Orion" Hunter, while the referee attempts to keep Mercenary from charging over at The Titaness. The two are simply staring at one another, looking ready to attack at any moment's notice should the other attempt to approach the other wrestler.
Watson: I don't know about you, Sydney, but this is kind of an odd sight we're seeing. Mainly from The Titaness. She usually has better control than this. In fact, I don't think she's ever had a no contest because she attempted to draw a weapon in a singles fight before.
Sydney: I suppose you have a bit of a point. Even Merc tends to follow the rules when they're asked for. I guess ... huh. This is a strange sight.
Both Joseph and Mercer and trying to calmly get the respective person they're keeping in line out of the ring. Both are stubbornly staying put, which is visibly making both Orion and Mercer anxious.
Joseph leans forward and whispers something to Sam. Her expression remain stoic. He lets out a frustrated sigh and whispers something else, finally causing her eyes to soften up a bit. By the time she looks up, though, Mercenary has decided 'the hell with this' and already begun exiting the ring.
Sam pats Joseph's shoulder, trying to signal for him to move away. He does so, albeit hesitantly. Samantha quickly goes and gets a mic for herself, re-entering the ring while raising the mic to her lips.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: Hold up just a sec, Mercenary. I know your promo was probably mostly rhetoric, but I wanted to clear a few things up, if you don't mind.
EWC's Outlaw does stop and look back towards The Titaness, though the sight of his eyebrow slightly raised hints he finds it hard to believe Sam only wants to talk. Sam nods, understanding his concern, and drops the chain. She gives a nod towards Joseph, who completely removes it from the ring.
Mercenary still looks uncertain, but the crowd begins to chant.
HEAR HER OUT!
HEAR HER OUT!
HEAR HER OUT!
HEAR HER OUT!
HEAR HER OUT!
The cheering encourages him as he nods and walks back to the ring, although his steps hold a bit of caution in them. Sam offers him a small smile, waiting until he's inside and across from her again to resume talking.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: So I'll back up right quick. I ... have no excuse what got over me, so I'm not gonna offer that. Just a hope that by the time I'm done, you'll accept my apology. Now then, I heard what you said and honestly? You were only half correct. I actually had more issues with ... well ... your former crew, I suppose? I haven't exactly seen the others that were in FEUD around.
Anyway ... yeah. That's exactly why I finally teamed up with my sisters in that six team tag match back on Rampage, then very happily beat Dalilah in that Triple Threat Cage Match.
There were constant signs of disrespect from everyone else, typically in a verbal manner, towards myself and the other Shieldmaidens. I won't deny, though, your silence did make me annoyed. It seemed like you didn't mind nor care that Dalilah was constantly calling us insults like 'tramps', 'sluts' and other unnecessary, demeaning terms. With you seeming to be more or less their leader, that just didn't sit well with me.
Mercenary nods, hinting that he's following along with Sam's words so far.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton: Despite what you and your crew continued to say and do - or not do, depending, I've looked up to you for quite a while. Because ... it's exactly as you said. We definitely had complicated lives, and that was true even before we found the EWC. Now, we're kinda similar. We both have a lot of doubters despite proving our worth repeatedly.
You're by far one of the strongest people despite not holding a title. It was honestly flattering to hear me winning the United States Championship was what helped you earn respect for me. For me, though ... that won't be the case. Because .... I need you to keep doing one thing. And that's refuse to give up.
A ghost of a smirk appears on Mercenary's face as he nods again.
I actually try to avoid grudges. Some people practically beg for me to keep hating them, but overall? Yeah. It's not really my preference. So ... while we can't erase what has already happened between the Shieldmaidens and FEUD - or at least the two of us - I wanna offer a promise and a handshake for the next time we meet.
That not only will we have an even better brawl than tonight, but it'll end more properly. What do you say?
Although he looks better compared to when he came back in the ring, there's still obviously some uncertainty in Mercenary's eyes. His gaze zooms in on Sam, who proceeds to offer her right hand out towards Merc. The crowd is cheering and starting up a new chant.
DO IT!
DO IT!
DO IT!
DO IT!
DO IT!
Fueled on primarily by the audience, but also a few other factors, Mercenary stalks forward and intertwines his hand with Sam's. The two raise their hands high up in the air as they stand side by side one another. The crowd cheers loudly, adoring and loving the sight before their very eyes.
Camera fades to commercial
Watson: Well it’s been a great night so far folks, but I fear it may be about to take a turn. I’m told we’re about to see a campaign video for the 46th President of The United States…
Sydney: Pass me my phone I need to set up a regular donation to the party!
The Mac-Tron comes to life and the fans boo loudly as we see “This is a paid-for advertisement from the Scorpio 4 EWC 2020 Campaign” appear on the screen and “Hail To The Chief” begins to play out:
The video opens with footage of Monday Night Brawl 651 and President Mac’s planned one-off return to the ring. We then see Scorpio on the ramp (and conveniently miss out on the blindside attack on Tornado Jones)…
Scorpio: If you’re going to get back in between the ropes why don’t you defend your abysmal leadership of this place the old-fashioned way… one on one… against me.
We cut back to an out-of-context moment of President Mac shaking his head…
Mac: Absolutely not.
We then move to a different part of Mac’s retort, the words out of order to spin it in Scorpio’s favour.
Mac: I don’t want to prove anything, I don’t want to go for gold, I don’t want to ‘defend my leadership the old-fashioned way’.
The final shot of Brawl 651 is of Scorpio staring Mac and Scorpio staring one another down from the ring and the ramp respectively…
We now move to The S-Factor dressed in a stunning glitzy Chanel pantsuit as he stands in front of a green screen of cheering crowds. Scorpio flashes a smile to the camera as the sound of piped-in cheers can be heard (in the background we can hear the real FSW crowd booing loudly).
Scorpio: Tell me EWC, do you enjoy having a coward for a leader?
He raises his eyebrow as the piped-in cheers turn to boos and Scorpio nods along sympathetically.
Scorpio: Neither do I, and yet on Monday Night Brawl Danny Mac proved himself to be just that. I came out to that ring and respectfully offered him a one-on-one match to settle our differences, the way wrestlers have done for generations. Had Mac not rudely cut me off and shot my offer down almost as quickly as he shot down any idea of me progressing through the ranks of the EWC I would have gone on to allow him to name the time, place, and match type. Alas he has shown the world just what a weak and pathetic leader he is…
We cut back to the footage from Brawl 651 as President Mac is knelt next to the downed Tornado Johnson with his arms cradling the rookie’s head and the microphones picking up Mac telling the young hopeful “I’m sorry, I had to”.
We cut back to Scorpio in front of his green screen as he looks solemn.
Scorpio: Do you want a leader who can’t defend the defenseless? Isn’t that the whole point of a government, to lead, to protect, to serve? Danny Mac was a great wrestler once upon a time and I’m sure when he became the full-time CEO of the EWC he was half-decent at it, but in the two years I’ve been here I’ve seen this place decay under his watch. He allowed the Shieldmaidens to destroy the Rampage set with no ramifications, he allowed the vile Malone and Cyrus love affair to play out and dominate the Undisputed Championship scene despite obvious competing interests for the pair of them, he’s allowed the Undisputed Championship to be defended on a random episode of PRIME, and as I’ve stated time and time again he’s consistently promoted and defended the interests of his company boys and girls ahead of the likes of me, the outsiders, the true talent. Ace King is EWC through and through and he had a 777 day reign, Cyrus Black is the charming every man who was protected by being given a defense against his slam-piece; Dominic Sanders and Melody Malone are marketable as the ‘edgy’ alternatives whilst still being yes-men to the Mac regime. Danny Mac has gifted these same people shot after shot, opportunity after opportunity, spotlight after spotlight…
He sneers.
Scorpio: Well I say no more. Continuing with this pitiful excuse for leadership is going to see the EWC consigned to the history books as the same four people battle back and forth for the grand prize. This place needs new, alternative, interesting blood to take the reigns. That’s why I propose myself… the 46th President of The United States and the next President of The EWC…
The green screen behind him shows a picture of President Mac from Brawl 651; the picture is taken during Mac’s contemplation whilst Scorpio had Tornado Johnson primed for the curb stomp, however of course the only context the viewers are shown is a worried and concerned-looking Mac…
Scorpio: This is not my president. This man is weak, this man is over the hill, this man needs to go. Extreme Wrestling Corporation – wrestlers, fans, corporate staff – I will save you all my darlings. I will overcome this evil and deliver us to a Season 22 free of Danny Mac… you have my word. My name is President Scorpio, and I approve this message.
There’s loud cheers on the corporate video which finishes with “Scorpio 4 EWC 2020” before the Mac-Tron fades out and we fully hear the level of booing inside The Cow Palace. The camera settles on the announce table as Cid Sydney finishes up her donation to Scorpio’s campaign whilst Tim Watson looks exasperated.
Watson: I mean I guess I have to act as the fact-checker here; folks what you just saw was one of the most distorted and spun pieces of propaganda I’ve ever seen. President Mac declined a match with Scorpio because The S-Factor wanted to use it as an opportunity to literally wrestle power from the boss. Mac’s job is to be the CEO of this company and oversee the running of it, his job isn’t to wrestle whoever feels hard done by when they lose a match or two. I know all of us stand by Mac’s decision and respect his stance…
Sydney: Speak for yourself, I think Scorpio’s right, the man’s a coward! Scorpio has aired his grievances and offered Mac a chance to settle it the way we do things in this business and Mac straight-up turned him down on that.
Watson: Oh come on Cid we’ve watched Scorpio all season pull stunts to score wins, use his lawyers and staff to get his way, have Crème de la Crème and The President’s Men interfere every opportunity he gets… you really think he’d just wrestle a clean match with President Mac and not use it as a chance to put the boss back in the same hospital bed he was in not so long ago?! The man’s underhanded, dirty, and devious… the whole thing smells of a trap and Mac’s too smart to fall in it!
SINGLES MATCH
Kuroiki
VS Wes Walker
Watson: Well folks, if you just missed it, I very highly recommend watching the full match that just ended from start to finish. Our Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton versus Mercenary fray was incredibly crazy and action packed! I'm honestly still a bit in shock at what we saw.
Sydney: I'll believe all of that when I see it come into play. Not gonna lie, though, I'm a small bit jealous of Mercenary. He got to hold Tits N Ass' ...
Watson: Titaness', you mean. We've had this talk before.
Sydney: Ugh. All work, no play. What a lame colleague I have. Fine, fine. Take it away, I suppose, Starr.
Starr: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring, standing at 6 foot tall and weighing 230 pounds. He is The Black Tree Of Sapporo, KUROIKI!
"Immortals by Two Steps From Hell sounds off over the loud speakers. Kuroiki emerges from gorilla. He walks directly to the ring, ignoring everyone. He rolls into the ring, slides to his corner and remains seated, awaiting the bell.
Starr: And his opponent, from Galway, Ireland, weighing in at 185 pounds... WES WALKER!
Pyros hit and "Perfection Through Silence" by Finch begins to play. Upon entering the ring, he goes right to middle of the ring. He doesn't have to wait long before ...
DING DING DING
Kuroiki is the first to make a move. He swiftly closes up the gap between himself and Wes and slaps his right cheek with all of his might! Walker stares, then nods firmly. But before the ex-champion can retaliate Kuroiki grabs the sides of Wes' head and thrusts his own forward with a very massive and brutal Full Contact Headbutt!
The impact causes Wes to stumble backwards, all while tightly gripping his head. Kuroiki dashes forward, hoping to continue assaulting Walker while he's still in a world of pain, but the former champion has other plans. He thrusts his boot forward, landing it roughly in The Black Tree's left leg!
Both men give one another space, taking the opportunity to recover. Meanwhile, the crowd is cheering them both on, each rooting for one of the two fighters.
Watson: You .. don't think we'll see a replay of our last fight, do you?
Sydney: Would something be wrong with that?
Watson shakes his head at the response.
Back in the ring, both Kuroiki and Wes are circling one another, trying to find an opening so the actual match can resume. Kuroiki believes he's found the best chance first and charges forward. He grabs onto Wes' still very wounded temple and goes for a Flapjack, but wait!
Wes seems to have prepared better for this, because at the same time The Black Tree grabs on, he grips Kuroiki's head and executes a Bulldog of his own!
Both men slam hard onto the canvas, their heads no doubt throbbing in agony as they land somewhat awkwardly, if not unceremoniously. Kuroiki fights through the pain and manages to straddle Wes' midsection, beginning to throw down numerous punches to Walker's face.
Six successfully find their mark before Wes is finally able to use all of his strength to force The Black Tree off his sternum. This time, Wes charges forward, ready to show Kuroiki isn't the only one with an offensive arsenal.
Kuroiki tries to read what Wes is going for ahead of time. Unfortunately, a feint causes him to look at the wrong spot. Instead of blocking his jaw, Wes feigns throwing a punch for The Black Tree's own stomach. Instead, he follows up with a Flying Knee, which crashes violently into Kuroiki's jaw!
But Wes isn't done with The Black Tree! He brings him down with a Snapmare Suplex! Seeing his chance, Walker tries to go for the cover!
ONE!
TWO -- NO!!
Kuroiki gets a shoulder up, glaring in annoyance at the former champ. Wes moves away, allowing The Black Tree to get up.
Watson: Kuroiki no doubt taking his own frustrations out on Wes. But neither are giving one another an inch. Both are really giving it their all.
Sydney: Well no shit, Sherlock. That's their job.
Watson: I'm Watson, not Sherlock. Elementary knowledge, my dear Sydney.
The Black Tree grips Wes' arm, dragging him closer. Once he's in reach, Kuroiki slams his own knee right into Walker's midsection. He then hoists the former champion up! Peaceful Passing (Delayed Suplex to Powerbomb)!
A chorus of "Oooohhh's" resounds from the audience as Wes lands pretty roughly on his head.
Kuroiki looks smugly down at his work, then goes for his own cover.
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE -- WHAT?! NO!!!
Somehow, Wes gets a shoulder up! There's still life in him, and the sight of Kuroiki's eyes wideing hints even he can't easily believe that. The pause is more than enough time for Walker to take advantage, and he locks his own finisher in!
Tiger Choke (Hell's Gate)!
Kuroiki tries frantically to break out. But the more he struggles, the tighter the submission is locked in. The Black Tree still refuses to give up and, rather than willingly tapping out, his entire body goes limp.
The referee raises his arm once ... twice ... three times.
When it doesn't raise even one time, Mercer calls for the bell!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, via knockout submission ... WES WALKER!
Watson: Hot damn. What an explosive night we're having so far!
Sydney: I almost pity whoever Kuroiki goes against. Almost.
Watson: Don't go too far away, ladies and gentlemen! When we return, our main event will start up! And it will be a sweet treat you won't wanna miss!
The camera cuts backstage inside the Cow Palace where we find a masked Buddy Love talking to a FSW Staff member who looks as if he’s trapped and wants to be anywhere but there at this moment.
Buddy Love: They said I was lucky, I could have lost an eye or my eyebrow but the burns are pretty severe and there could be some serious scarring. I set up a meeting tonight with GM Brock to talk about our health care coverage and to see if skin grafts are covered under my policy...by the way you have really soft skin…
Buddy reaches out and rubs his hand on the cheek of the staff member causing him to take a step backwards and slam into the wall.
Buddy Love: Would you be open to donating skin for my graft if need be, mine is a bit oily and I get these pimples sometimes…
Buddy pulls the mask aside a little to show a huge zit on his chin...
Buddy Love: You look like you don’t have any of these issues so that would be nice. I’ll trade you a signed picture of Killjoy Ito for it…
FSW Staffer: For my skin?
Buddy Love: Yeah, it’s a fair trade I think...I mean you might have some scars but it’s a signed picture of Killjoy we are talking about…
The staffer looks uneasy as Buddy smiles
Buddy Love: I’ll take that as a yes and I’ll have my doctor call…
But Buddy stops midsentence as he looks over the head of the staffer and sees his father, ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love walking down the hallway, looking down at his phone.
Buddy Love: Father???
Tommy stops in his tracks and winces as he hears his son’s voice, he looks up to see Buddy waving at him.
Buddy Love: Father, it’s me, your son Buddy...I know you didn’t recognize me under the mask and it’s amazing you would come all this way to Daly City to check on your baby boy but I’m fine really...I mean it hurts and itches like crazy but...shouldn’t you be on a plane to Argentina?
Tommy Love: I’m leaving in an hour Buddy…
Buddy Love: And you took your last hour here in America to come see me...I’m touched father…
Tommy Love: No, I didn’t come to see you Buddy, I have a business matter to deal with tonight before I head out and I don’t have time to deal with…
Tommy looks at Buddy and the pinned staffer...
Tommy Love: Whatever THIS is…
Buddy Love: This nice young man agreed to give me his skin to fix my burns...isn’t that nice father…
The staffer shakes his head no but Tommy ignores what he sees
Tommy Love: Awesome, well Buddy I have to go, good luck with your skin issue…
Buddy Love: Thanks father but if you wait till after the show I’ll fly down to Argentina with you…
Tommy Love: Oh that won’t be necessary...Bunny is meeting me down there, ok I have to go…
Tommy walks past his son who looks disappointed in his father’s reaction but Tommy doesn’t seem to notice or care, he continues to walk down the hallway until he reaches the wrestler’s locker rooms. He looks down at his phone to check the number and stops in front of room 6 and knocks. He waits a second or two until the door slowly cracks open and Tommy smiles as he comes face to face with Joseph “Orion” Hunter...the husband of Samantha Hamilton...
Tommy Love: Joey… ‘how you doing’...
Tommy laughs as he quotes Joey from Friends but Joseph doesn’t seem amused...
Tommy Love: I’m here to see the Mrs., is she decent?
Orion clears his throat, quickly moving his head from side to side.
Joseph “Orion” Hunter: Always Joseph, never Joey. I know that’s a nickname, but personal preference, if you don’t mind. Now then …
He turns his head, looking even further down the hall, before shifting his gaze to his cell phone, and nods.
Joseph “Orion” Hunter: She should be done getting patched up. Thankfully, the damage wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been, particularly with both herself and Mercenary trying to go for weapons, but … they both didn’t exactly hold back, either. Until she’s done, though, come on in.
After being given the invitation, Tommy walks inside. Joseph closes the door behind him, but neither have to wait for long.
Sure enough, not even two more minutes pass before the door reopens and The Titaness herself walks in. She looks first over towards Joseph … then to Tommy … and finally down at the floor. Her eyes briefly close as she slowly nods, lifting her head up as she speaks.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: Congratulations, Tommy. If ever there was any doubt on what the hell I’m about to do, tonight has secured my decision.
Her arms cross over her chest as she stands beside her spouse, looking deathly serious into Tommy’s eyes.
Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton: I’m doing this because I’m expecting you to be as sincere as I am. And, even if not perfect with your mannerisms, at least professional enough.
Sam opens her mouth to resume talking, but stops and nods towards her husband. Orion follows Samantha’s gaze and finds her staring at the door, where a camera man is listening and eagerly waiting to hear her next words.
Joseph merely shakes his head and gently but firmly shuts the door, drowning out the conversation from the public eyes and ears. We now cut to ringside...
TAG TEAM SHOWCASE
Allen Anderson & WBE
VS Candy & Robbie Rayder
Watson: Nice little surprise here Cid, looks like Wes Walker is staying down at ringside for this match.
Sydney: Who approved this?
Watson: I don’t think anyone did. I just think Wes is probably really interested in two of the competitors in this match.
Sydney: Well that doesn’t just give me carte blanch to do whatever he wa-
Wes interrupts Sydney’s talking and sits down next to the guys and puts on his head phones.
Wes Walker: Hey guys! Thanks for having me. Tim, this was a great idea you had.
Cid stares daggers at Tim Watson.
Watson: Well obviously with Candy and Robbie Rayder in this match, I had a feeling you’d want to watch them up close.
Wes Walker: Oh, that’s for sure! Obviously I’ve been in the ring with both of them before, but this will be great to see how they’re both moving after a big Rumble for both of them! Oh, hey Cid, what’s going on man!
Wes slaps Cid on the back and Sydney really acts up like Wes has injured him.
Watson: Buck up Cid, time to get this match going!
Starr: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL, from New York City, NY, weighing in at 180 pounds... W.B.E WINTRHOP BRADLEY ESQUIRE!
"I'm Rich" by TMG plays and the crowd boos the hated kid when he walks out. Winthrop looks nervous and scared but takes a big breath and heads to the ring. Some fans startle him with loud shouts, so he cusses at them then runs away when they flex on him. He climbs up the steps and slips into the ring. He complains to the referee about the fans and his circumstance but the referee shrugs him off. Poor Winthrop is left with no option but to retire to his corner and wait for his tag partner to join him
Starr: And his tag team partner, from Harlem, New York, weighing in at 205 pounds... ALLEN ANDERSON!
“Mama Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool J begins to play; while Allen comes out wearing a red hoodie in attempt to get himself pumped. He slowly walks to the ring with a cocky grin on his face before taking off the hoodie and climbing the top turnbuckle posing for the crowd. He and WBE pound fists quickly before looking up at the entrance way.
Starr: And their first opponent, from Alama, California, weighing in at 225 pounds... THE NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION ROBBIE RAYDER!
The lights go out in the arena then a fog covers the entrance. The lights slowly come up as Robbie Rayder, wearing long purple tights and black boots, walks out through the fog and kneels down. He points his index fingers to the ceiling then lowers them to his lips. Rayder taps the title around his waist then looks out at the crowd as he turns back towards the entrance way.
Starr: And his tag partner, from Key West, Florida, weighing in at 106 pounds... THE FSW CHAMPION, THE SWEET TREAT, CANDY!
Just as "I Want Candy" by Aaron Carter starts to play throughout the arena, fans immediately start to cheer as Candy emerges from the back all smiles as she does a little dance at the top of the stage. As Candy finishes showing off her moves, she stands at the top of the ramp for moment as she points to the championship around her waist.
After her name is announced, Candy and Robbie meet up with each other. Candy begins skipping her way down the aisle as she tags the outstretched hands along the way. She circles half the ring before climbing up on the apron. As she takes a seat on it, Candy blows a kiss into the crowd. She then lays back and rolls into the ring under the bottom rope. Once she's on her feet again, Candy unstraps the title from her waits and shows it off to the cheering crowd as she waits for her music to subside.
DING DING DING
Looks like Robbie Rayder and Allen Anderson will lead us off in the ring. Both big men charge at each other. Robbie the more experienced gains the upper hand and puts Anderson into a headlock. Anderson bounces off the ropes and sends Robbie across the ring. Robbie tries to hit a clothesline but Anderson ducks underneath it. Robbie stops in his tracks and as Anderson is turning around confidently Rayder hits him with the forearm that knocks Anderson to the ground. Allen gets up quickly and Rayder tries for another forearm but Anderson blocks it and punches Robbie. The punch knocks Robbie back and Anderson keeps after him until he works him into the corner. Anderson starts unleashing on Robbie. Finally the referee steps in. Anderson looks livid as Robbie starts to get himself out of the corner. Anderson charges at him but Robbie ducks underneath, and grabs Allen from behind and hits a German suplex! Both men are down.
Watson: A lot of back and forth action to start us here tonight.
Wes Walker: That’s for sure. Robbie seems to have hit the biggest move of the match so far. Really like what I’m seeing out of him in the ring. Anderson was able to use his brute strength, but Robbie is the veteran here and kept calm through the barrage.
Sydney: Maybe save some words for the rest of us Wes.
Robbie makes his way towards the corner and TAG in comes Candy. Anderson starts to make his way towards WBE but realizes quickly that WBE isn’t interested. Anderson braces himself as Candy comes in and sit down dropkicks Anderson. Anderson bracing clearly helped has he takes the hit and rolls out of it into the corner. Candy and Anderson both get to their feet. Candy runs and tries a jump clothesline, Anderson catches her in midair and swing her into a side slam! Candy goes down hard! Anderson bounces off the ropes and jumps up and hits a knee right to Candy’s head!
Watson: Anderson using his size against Candy here.
Wes Walker: Come on Tim, you know size isn’t everything. I’ve seen Candy is this position before and this is when she’s the most dangerous. You think that you’re capitalizing, you think you have the match in hand and then BOOM!
Sydney: Jesus Wes! You almost knocked my drink off the table here.
Wes Walker: Sorry Cid! Just get so excited watching this match, look, here she comes!
On queue as Anderson tries another knee drop and Candy rolls out of the way. She gets up quickly and jumps on the Andersons back and tries to lock in a sleeper hold. Anderson stands up and starts flailing trying to get Candy off his back. She locks it in tight. Anderson finally runs backwards into the turnbuckle and rams Candy into it. It breaks the hold but Candy is standing on the second rope. Anderson turns around and Candy jumps and hits a spinning DDT! Anderson goes down and Candy is laying catching her breath. Robbie is reaching over the rope, stretching out for a tag from Candy. WBE on the other hand doesn’t even seem to be looking at Anderson. Candy gets herself up and works over towards Robbie and leaps and tags Robbie. Robbie comes in like a man on fire. He grabs Anderson and throws him into the corner. Robbie charges as Anderson and drives his knee right into his gut. Robbie backs up and charges again, Anderson lifts up a leg and Robbie runs right into it! Anderson jumps out of the corner and throws a flying knee! Robbie is dazed. Anderson grapples and lifts up Robbie and hits a brainbuster! Anderson goes for the pin.

CANDY COMES IN BREAKS UP THE PIN
The referee chastises Candy and makes her go back outside of the ropes. Anderson lifts up Robbie while this is happening and hits a Swiss uppercut which pushes him into the ropes. Anderson takes the momentum and throws Robbie across the ring. As Robbie comes back Anderson hits a big hip toss and sends Robbie flying!
Wes Walker: Anderson is looking great here. Poor guy seems like he’s alone.
Watson: That’s true, Winthrop Bradley Esquire hasn’t even seen action here yet.
Sydney: Well he’s a very smart man. Who would want to get into the ring against the Rayders?
Anderson moves towards Robbie. As he does Candy starts yelling over at him to get his attention. Anderson looks over at her and gestures for her to be quiet. Candy keeps yelling and then Anderson starts making his way over towards her. The referee steps in the middle of the two arguing and Robbie comes up behind Anderson and tries to roll him up for a pin.

KICKOUT!
Anderson kicks out and it stands Robbie up. Robbie goes to the corner and tags in Candy. Candy and Robbie double team Anderson and throw him against the ropes. As he comes back Candy and Robbie both bend down and flip Anderson over their backs! He goes down hard. Robbie exits the ring and Candy goes to work. She starts to kick Anderson who is trying to make his way to his feet. As he finally does, Candy gathers herself a hits a huge spinning jump kick. Anderson takes it hard to the head and drops back down to the ground. Candy steps back and tags Robbie back in. They both lift Anderson up to his feet and hit a double suplex! Candy goes back to the outside of the ropes and Robbie lifts Anderson up again. He throws him into his own corner and Winthrop Bradley Esquire who wasn’t paying attention makes contact with Anderson. The referee acknowledges the tag and stops action until WBE gets in the ring.
Watson: Well here we go, Winthrop Bradley Esquire has gotten himself into this match.
Wes Walker: Is it just me or does it seem like he wasn’t really trying that hard to get involved here tonight?
Sydney: Let’s think for a second here Wes. The other three people in this match have been thrown around, punched, and beat up. The fourth, is fresh as a daisy and ready to dominate the Rayders!
Winthrop Bradley Esquire steps into the ring and walks towards Robbie and tries to stare him down. Robbie smiles and throws a punch that knocks WBE down hard. Robbie lifts WBE up and throws him into the opposite corner and Candy hits a forearm to WBE’s chest. Robbie charges into the corner and drives his shoulder into WBE’s midsection. Robbie tags Candy and Candy comes in the ring. Robbie lifts up WBE and as he’s coming down Candy lifts her knee and WBE is out on his back. Candy goes for the pin.

KICKOUT!
Somehow WBE kicks out. Candy looks towards the referee and then towards Robbie in surprise.
Watson: What a kick out!
Sydney: Looks like Winthrop Bradley Esquire has some fight in him!
Wes Walker: What impressive teamwork by Candy and Robbie though. This is difference between two people that really know each other and can work together and two relative strangers.
Candy gets up and walks over to Robbie, the two of them chat back and forth a bit and Candy tags in Robbie as WBE is still out on his back. Robbie walks over to WBE but as he does the referee is ensuring that Candy promptly gets to the apron. WBE takes advantage of this and hits a LOW BLOW ON ROBBIE! Robbie bends over in pain and Candy is livid at the referee for not paying attention to the match. WBE takes advantage and starts throwing a volley of forearms to Robbie’s back. They’re landing but don’t seem like too much damage. Robbie regains composure and blocks the next attempt from WBE. Robbie lands a right hook of his own and WBE backs up into the corner. Robbie charges at him and holds him into the corner. The ref counts and then breaks it up. While the referee has his back to WBE, he quickly pokes Robbie in the eye. The referee looks at WBE sternly who offers up a pale attempt at an excuse. Robbie is bent over grabbing his eye in pain. WBE starts to gloat about his performance. Robbie moves towards Candy. WBE has his back to Robbie and Candy and continues his gloating. Suddenly Robbie tags in Candy and WBE hears the crowds reaction. Candy comes running while WBE tries to tag in Allen Anderson. Candy trips up WBE before he can get there and drags him into the middle of the ring. She sets him up, CANDY BLAST! Candy flips over WBE and goes for the pin.

DING DING DING
Starr: And your winners, via pinfall... CANDY AND ROBBIE RAYDER!
Watson: Ah an impressive victory by the Rayders there. Winthrop Bradley Esquire thought he had the upper hand, but you can never count out Robbie and Candy.
Sydney: Where was Anderson there? WBE can’t do it all himself!
Watson: Hey, wait a second, what’s going on here. Wes, where are you going?
Wes takes off his head phones, grabs a mic and jumps up onto the ring apron and gets into the ring.
Wes Walker: Well, well, well, congratulations Rayders. Another commendable victory for both of you! You must be flying pretty high after the Rumble with both of you walking away as champions. It would be hard to argue that FSW is Rayder territory now.
The crowd cheers on Candy and Robbie.
Wes Walker: Yes, yes, of course. You know, since Ezio beat me for that North American title I’ve wanted nothing more than to get it back over my shoulder. The first I ever held and I’m the longest reigning North American title of all time. So I really, REALLY, connect with that title, and frankly I think my name has become synonymous with it.
Robbie looks at his title over his shoulder and tightens it up closer to himself.
Wes Walker: Which is why, after long last, I’m ready to finally cash in my ticket for a shot at a title of my choosing. Robbie Rayder, it’s been a long time coming, I am going to challenge…
Wes draws it out a bit and tension is growing in the crowd.
Wes Walker: CANDY!!
The crowd was all focused on Robbie and then turned their attention to Candy who looks shocked as well. She does a little “who me?” motion and Wes nods his head.
Wes Walker: That’s right, while I loved being the North American Champion, my goal has always been to be the FSW Champion. Which is why at WrestleFest, you and I are going to go one on one for that title. We’ve been one on one twice before and we each have a victory. So now we can have a rubber match on the grandest stage of them all. Last year at WrestleFest I beat Kyle Gautier to capture my first ever title. Now, a year later, I’m taking one from you!
The crowd cheers as Wes and Candy stare each other down in the middle of the ring. Robbie is off to the side looking shocked as well as FSW fades to black...
