On the X-Tron, this episode of Paramount Wrestling 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, setting the tone for the history of the Orange brand. 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, Stitches, Candy, and Wes Walker tearing down that mold, showing the Paramount Wrestling Logo...
As more pyro goes off the Paramount Wrestling logo appears and flashes of the roster appear on the screen such as "The Wicked" James Keaton, Emma Louise, Asriel Buzzard, Adriana Aquilla, , Shaker Jones, Jordan Freakin' Sharpe, Sally Talfourd, Ezio DeLuca, Extreme Eugene and The Hawaiian Hunters. The final images shown is a montage of Robbie Rayder, the CW Broadcast Championship around his waist, Marcu$ $t. John and the EWC North American championship high over his shoulder, The Southern Express with Bunny Love, the EWC World Tag Team Championships over each of her shoulders, El-Pablo swimming in a pool of Skittles, the EWC X-Division championship diagonal across his chest, and then Killjoy Ito with Buddy Love, the EWC Undisputed championship proudly around his waist.
The camera pans around the loud and out of control audience. As the fireworks continue to explode, the fans chant and cheer! Cameras pan around the arena to catch some of the signage that many fans have brought to Deutsche Bank Park with them here tonight. The Paramount Wrestling fan-base is as adamant about having their voices heard now as ever:
"Gunter glieben glauchen globen"
"Die Orange Invasion beginnt heute Nacht
"Ich will süße Süßigkeiten zurück!"
"Der Southern Express rollt heute Abend weiter!"
"Die Ära des Moguls steht vor der Tür!"
"PAR-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PAR-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PAR-A-MOUNT!!!"

The camera cuts backstage inside the Deutsche Bank Park where we find Paramount’s Lisa Goldrush surrounded by a host of Paramount security as she waits with her camera crew outside The Love Club’s locker room. One of the security guards reaches out and knocks on the door and steps back into his spot to the right of Lisa. After a moment or two the door opens and ‘The Love Child’ Jamie Love looks at Lisa and all her security.
J Love: Wow Lisa, all this isn’t necessary I swear. I won’t let Xavier put his hands on you I promise…
But Lisa isn’t having it as she looks at Jamie
Goldrush: Thank you Jamie but I disagree with you. The security is needed and necessary in order for me to feel safe and do my job…it wasn’t just Xavier but…
But before she can finish or say his name Jamie’s father, ‘The Memphis Mouthpiece’ Tommy Love pokes his head out into the hallway and takes a look at the scene and smiles
T.Love: Well look who it is, Gab…I mean Lisa Goldrush…
He smiles as Jamie turns around to face his father…
J. Love: That’s not funny…she’s fucking scared to do her job because of the two of you…
Tommy waves his son off as he steps outside but as he takes a step closer towards Lisa the security steps forward blocking him…
Goldrush: You are to keep your distance Tommy…
Lisa’s eyes widen as Xavier steps out into the hallway…her eyes glued to him…
Goldrush: BOTH OF YOU…
J.Love: I promise you nothing is going to happen Lisa…in fact…
Jamie takes a step forward and stands between Tommy and Xavier and Lisa as The Bastard’s second manager Maria Love steps out into the hallway wearing a Catholic School Girl outfit…her boobs nearly touching her chin from the push up bra which draws the attention of a few of the guards but they quickly re-focus as Xavier speaks up…
Reid: Everyone needs to relax…we are here to beat some ass yeah…but it’s not yours honey…
T.Love: We have a date tonight with…
Reid: Two idiots…
T.Love: Now come on Xavier…that’s an insult to idiots…
Reid: What else do you call James Keaton and Extreme Eugene…
Goldrush: Well I’d call James Keaton a former champion…
Xavier laughs as he looks at Lisa…
Reid: Oh yes…a champion, a champion that couldn’t be bothered to wrestle after winning the North American Champion right…I mean the man took the next show off and then decided to become a tag team wrestler and maybe he wanted to play things safe and pad those numbers but for 42 days he was a PAPER champion…
Goldrush: He worked extremely hard as…
Reid: The CW Broadcast Champion…you get it’s a glorified TV Championship right and HAS to be defended on each show…but it’s not like he’s facing the best Paramount has to offer for it right…and I heard James bragging about being a champion from October 6th of last year to June 8th of this one…what did he say, it was a ‘relationship’...funny…was I supposed to be impressed by that…me, the man that was the International Champion for 346 days…that was ONE championship reign, not two combined…ONE…his little run was like a fling yes…
T. Love: That argument was about as stupid as the fat one saying Jamie would be out of the business if it wasn’t for tagging with Xavier…
Jamie looks at his father and then at Lisa…
J. Love: That was fucking insulting, I’m not going to lie and for it to been said by a guy whose only had a Gambit match…clearly he did zero homework on me because had he he would have seen I’ve wrestled for the Indy Championship, the HBO Broadcast Championship…the X-Division Championship and the US Championship…I’ve been the Main Event on countless shows here in the EWC and have been on the cusp of winning EWC Gold…
Tommy puts his hand on his son’s shoulder…
T. Love: Don’t worry about fatty, he’s trying to make a name by taking a run at yours…the truth is these two idiots couldn’t even be bothered to do their promo’s together, they are walking into this match here tonight as two separate individuals while Jamie and Xavier are walking in as The Bastards, a proven tag team here in the EWC…a tag team with wins under their belts TOGETHER…James and Eugene are going to try and figures this out on the fly which gives us the advantage…
Reid: James and Eugene are just here to have a good show but Jamie and I have tag team championship aspirations and beating them puts us one step closer to challenging Bobby and Jimmy so we can’t afford to stumble here tonight…last time I was here I was screwed out of a win…tonight I TAKE that fucking win I was owed and The Bastards make their case of Parabellum…
Xavier takes a step closer towards Lisa, who steps back as security steps forward and Jamie puts his hand on Xavier’s chest. Xavier puts his hands into the air and smiles
Reid: See I kept it civil…I was just going to walk in that direction people…
Xavier smiles as Lisa turns and walks away…followed by her security team... Fade to black.
TAG TEAM SHOWCASE
INVASION SERIES PREVIEW
The Bastards
VS Extreme Eugene & James Keaton
We return to ringside where commentary is standing by for the first match of the night!
Watson: Woah! What a surprise that was! It looks like Malcolm Blades is returning to the EWC and headed for the Pinnacle of Professional Wrestling! Looking forward to seeing him in action soon!...Alright folks, our opening contest sees the Bastards, Xavier Reid and Jamie Love, visiting us from BRAWL and RAMPAGE respectively, as they take on Eugene Extreme and James Keaton!
Starr: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall! Joining us first, at a combined weight of 340 pounds ... XAVIER REID AND JAMIE LOVE, THE BASTARDS!
As 'For The Glory' plays out as 'The Memphis Mouthpiece' Tommy Love walks out onto the stage first, he turns and points 'The Love Stick' back as his son Jamie Love walks out and then Xavier Reid. The three men stand there for a moment looking at each other but all three turn as Maria Love comes walking out, she ignores Tommy and motions for Jamie and Xavier to follow her as she leads the two towards the ring as Tommy runs to catch up with 'his' team.
Starr: And their opponents, introducing first...from Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 297 pounds ... EUGENE EXTREME!
The thumping beat of "Old School" by Danger Doom hits and the fans of the EWC's local lovable loser makes his way out to the ring. The dangerous alliance of MF DOOM and Danger Mouse help set the atmosphere for the entrance of the baddest mama jama from Portland, Oregon, as he walks out adjusting his singlet with a big dumb grin on his face. He psyches himself up by hitting his face a few times and the fans love it. He runs towards the ring, each fold of his body flopping around, unable to contain the hype in his body. He fumbles into the ring with a shitty roll and gets up to the turnbuckle, throwing his fists up in the air. He makes two "E"'s with his thumb, pointer, and middle fingers on each hand to represent his initials before hopping off the turnbuckle. He talks up to some of the fans, trying to win their support on personality alone as he awaits for the match to begin.
Starr: And introducing his tag team partner...from London, England, weighing in at 248 pounds ... JAMES KEATON!
The arena lights begin to flash in tune to the drums as "The Wicked and The Cursed" by The Cold Stares plays throughout the arena. As the guitar rhythm plays, James Keaton makes his presence known by appearing at the top of the entrance ramp. Keaton begins cracking his knuckles in a slow and methodical way before walking with purpose to the ring. Keaton takes his time using the steps to enter the ring before leaning against the ropes and testing their strength.
DING DING DING
We start things off with Eugene and Jamie, each taunting the other to try something...and eventually, Eugene obliges with a kick to the gut of the Love Child! Eugene follows up by sending Jamie to the ropes with an Irish whip, looking to pounce on him on the rebound...but Jamie leapfrogs over Double E, before using his momentum to connect with a bulldog from behind! Eugene goes down hard to the canvas, allowing Jamie a chance to get a few kicks in for good measure. He focuses on the legs of Double E, looking to keep him off balance going forward...but Eugene is slowly building back to a vertical base, giving him the opportunity to fight back with some old school jabs that send Jamie reeling to his corner...where Reid is waiting with a blind tag to let himself into the match!
The former International Champion immediately runs into the ring, blindsiding Eugene with a flurry of offense that sends him down hard. Reid lays the strikes in thick, looking to make an example out of Eugene until he manages to get back to his feet eventually... and jumps over to his corner, tagging in Keaton in the process!
Watson: Here we go, a clash of former champions about to take place!
Sydney: Things could very well get heated, here!
The standoff doesn't last long as Reid and Keaton come to blows, trading lefts and rights in the hunt for the advantage...which is taken by The Wicked, who sends Reid to the ropes with an Irish whip! Keaton catches Reid on the rebound with a running European uppercut, sending him colliding with the turnbuckle. Keaton charges to the corner...but Reid dodges it at the last minute, causing Keaton to crash against the turnbuckle instead!
This gives Reid an opening to exploit, which he does as soon as Keaton turns around...right into a Pele kick! This drops Keaton to the canvas as Reid goes for the cover!
ONE...
TW--NO!
Keaton manages to kick out, frustrating Reid as he gets back to his feet before standing Keaton up...only for The Wicked to rock him with a right hand! Reid look shaken up, allowing Keaton an opportunity to pick him up...stalling for just a moment before dropping Reid to the canvas with a fisherman suplex!
Watson: Oh my, look at the impact from that suplex! Keaton's looking to--oh, what's this about?
Sydney: Listen, when you're a Bastard you stick by your kin!
Watson and Sydney are making reference to the fact that Jamie has rushed into the ring the moment Keaton tries to make the cover, immediately stopping any sort of pinfall attempt in the process. Things quickly devolve into chaos as Eugene runs in with what appears to be...a tennis racket!? It looks like Eugene is ready to make a racket himself as he takes a swing at Jamie, who ducks it before sending Double E out of the ring with a clothesline over the top rope...before he too is sent over the top to the outside, courtesy of James Keaton!
The Wicked turns his attention back to Xavier Reid, who is back to a standing position as Keaton rushes him...only to be brought crashing down with a drop toe hold by Reid, who looks to be fully in control now! He grabs The Wicked by his arms and starts stomping away, yelling obscenities as he does. Satisfied with the damage he's done, Reid sets the former North American Champion up for a world of hurt as he locks in the Triangle Choke! Eugene is back on his feet on the outside, but is caught with a neckbreaker from Jamie that keeps him from getting involved as James appears to be fading fast! The ref checks on The Wicked, who fights as hard as he can...but eventually passes out, forcing the ref to call for the bell!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winners, via submission... XAVIER REID AND JAMIE LOVE, THE BASTARDS!
Reid lets go of the hold before getting his feet, Jamie joining him in the ring as the ref raises their arms in victory before we cut to commentary.
Watson: What a war this turned out to be, folks! Eugene and Keaton gave it their all, but The Bastards managed to pull off the win tonight!
Sydney: That's the interesting thing about these matches, Watson...a makeshift duo like Extreme and Keaton can hang with the best of them, but in the end the experience that Reid and Jamie have was too much!
Eugene rolls to the outside as Xavier Reid rolls out to talk to his manager, leaving Jamie love in the ring celebrating.
The lights in the arena goes off while the crowds pull out their cellphones as everyone is wondering what was going on.
Watson: When lights go out it never a good thing.
Sydney: It always better when the lights are out in the bedroom.
Tim shakes his head as Cid just grins a bit. They look up at the X-Tron as a single light appears, focusing on an electric violin. Marie is standing on the outside of the ring while Sara looks over at Jamie. They watch as the light expands to show off a piano with Diana sitting there. Diana wearing a black and gold outfit with a blowpop in her mouth. She then lets her fingers hit the keys as she starts to play... Up on the X-Tron the word “PAIN” in white letters appears.
A person wearing an all black cloak appears on the stage with the hood over their head while Sara watches on with a tear coming down her face. Jamie is pointing up at the ramp with a bit of a growl coming from his lips, he's shouting out towards Diana and the person on the stage.
Love: You piece of shit. That why I am going to end you at Scars and Strips!
Jamie wipes Sara's tear, watching as Diana gets up slowly, walking over to the electric violin. She walks over to the person wearing the black cloak, standing next to them. They both start to walking down the ramp as...
The crowd starts to cheer as the lights turn on and off flicking but inside of the ring Jamie doesn''t notice as Jason Hunter comes out of the crowd!! He climba inside of the ring, standing right behind him waiting, glaring a hole in the back of his head as the crowd goes crazy.
Watson: JASON HUNTER IS BACK ON PARAMOUNT!!!!!!
Sydney: TURN AROUND YOU IDOIT!
Jamie is too focused on what is happening in front of him. Sara is sitting on the ropes telling them to get inside of the ring as Jamie is yelling at them over the music.
Love: GET INSIDE OF THE RING!
Diana smirks as the person then flips off their hood and it was Jason’s friend Sloth , wearing his sunglasses while Jamie and Sara look pissed off as they slowly turn around right into Jason who spits Gold mist into Sara’s face. She rolls out of the ring towards Marie who tries to clean her face right away with a towel. Jamie looks over at Jason who slowly takes off his suit jacket letting it drop on the ring apron.
Hunter: Yes I just spit in your freaking girlfriends face it's not like its the first time either but it wasn’t spit before!
Watson: Now that was uncalled for! This is about to get personal!
Sydney: It become personal when Sara attacked his mother after Rampage!
Jamie's eyes go big as he steps up to Jason. Both men are headbutt each other pushing, cursing at each other, the tension building and then it's on as both of them start throwing punches!. The crowd goes crazy as they are all over the ring having a bit of an old fashion Brawl!
Sydney: IT'S ON!
Watson: These two will kill each other before Scars and Stripes!
It looks like Jason is starting to get the best of Jamie, hitting him with fury.
Sydney: Well, Jason is about to get his ass kicked by Reid! Look who’s coming down to the ring.
Reid runs down the ramp climbing inside of the ring pulling Jason off of Jamie. Reid and Jason start to trash talk each other when the lights go out again the crowd is wondering what the hell is happening and the lights came back on and Ruthless Aggression is standing behind Reid. The crowd is going crazy!!!
Waston: RUTHLESS IS HERE!
Sydeney: REID LOOK OUT!
Reid turns around as Ruthann Hunter tackles him through the ropes to the outside of the ring. She is going nuts on Reid as they fight like crazy on the outside of the ring while Jason and Jamie are going at it inside of the ring. The crowd is going crazy “ LET THEM FIGHT!” Chris Brock comes barreling through the curtain, screaming for security and a few of the wrestlers come running out to break everyone apart. After a few moments, they are holding them all apart but Jamie brakes free and he jumps over group of bodies going after Jason again. He gets a few quick shots in but they are separated at last.
Watson: We are going to try and restore some order here tonight, but it may be moot as we have Sour Candy's official return to Paramount coming up next!

SINGLES MATCH
Sour Candy
VS Asriel Buzzard
We return to ringside where Matt Mercer is standing in the ring preparing for a fight.
Watson: Brawl invades Paramount with Sour Candy fighting Asriel.
Starr: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Joining us first, from The Sour Patch, weighing in at 106 pounds ... SOUR CANDY!
Moments after "I Want Candy" by Aaron Carter begins to play throughout the (add venue here), it suddenly switches into a more metal version of the song done by Risen From Shadows. Despite the boos coming from the crowd, Sour Candy seems unfazed as she walks out with a huge grin. She gives them a sarcastic wave and walks down the aisle.
As soon as a fan reaches out to touch her, SC jerks her arm out of the way and circles the ring before slipping under the bottom ropes. She stays on her knees and looks toward the entrance with the deadliest of stares as she waits for the match to begin.
Starr: And her opponent, from Hill City, Kansas, weighing in at 196 pounds ... ASRIEL BUZZARD!
The first few notes of a piece of orchestral music start to play around the arena, with the harps giving way to violins after a few seconds and an image appearing on the screen as the house lights lower.
As the guitars of ‘Animals’ by Architects begins to pound around the arena, strobe lights flash as the image on the screen fades to flashing images of a familiar face.
Slowly, Asriel Buzzard emerges from the curtain and stands atop the stage staring out into the crowd to a mixed response.
He walks down the ramp and circles the ring before rolling under the bottom rope and climbing the turnbuckle to stare into the crowd again, holding a closed umbrella aloft, his expression blank.
DING DING DING
After Matt Mercer drops his hand, Asriel and Candy meet in the center of the ring. Candy starts with a couple right hands across the jaw of Asriel. Asriel staggers back a bit before tossing his own rights into her face. Both individuals are pummeling each other as the crowd seems to be mixed on who they want to support.
Candy gains the upper hand with a quick arm drag before following it up with a front dropkick. Asriel falls back as Candy springs off the ropes and lands with double knees into his sternum. Candy goes for the cover.
ONE...
TWO….
Asriel rolls his shoulder up as Candy gets into a mounted position. She suddenly slams her forearm down repeatedly across Asriel’s jaw before bending down to bite him on the forehead. Candy leans up as a stream of blood starts flowing down Asriel’s face as Candy spits a bit of the blood onto the mat.
Watson: DEAR GOD! This is why Professional Wrestling is not for amateurs folks! Candy appears to be out for blood tonight!
Sydney: That is my kind of woman Tim!
Asriel forces Candy off him with a forceful shove. Candy rolls through the shove as Asriel rolls out of the ring. Asriel leans against the barricade as Candy comes sprinting across the ring. She pops up onto the ring ropes and comes flying off with a vaulting press.
Asriel manages to catch her in midair and slams her back first onto the barricade. Referee Matt Mercer begins his ten count.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
Candy bows up as Asriel slams her face first into the steel ring post.
FOUR...
FIVE...
Candy’s head snaps back as Asriel rams his knee into her spine as she smacks the post a second time. Asriel grabs her by the hair and slams his arm down across her throat. Candy is coughing as Asriel starts stomping the hell out of her.
SIX...
SEVEN..
Asriel gloats a little while running his hands across his face. A sick grin comes across his face as he turns back toward Candy. He picks her up only to get an elbow to his ribs. Asriel staggers back a little. Candy gets to a knee and slams her arm between his legs. Asriel leans forward as Candy grabs him by the head and throws him into the ring.
EIGHT...
NINE...
Watson: They better hurry up and get this back in the ring!
Sydney: I think they just want to beat the piss outta each other!
Candy momentarily sees a couple droplets of blood down her top as she curls her lip up. She leans in to attack Asriel again.
TEN...
DING DING DING
Starr: Ladies and gentlemen, neither fighter heeded the ten count of senior official Matt Mercer, therefore this match is considered a DRAW!
Both fighters looks visibly upset as they each rage outside the ring, somehow not taking their frustrations out on each other. Sour Candy stalks over but Asriel backs up the rampway before she can get to him.. He stares down at her from the entranceway before looking down at his hand which is still covered in her blood from this vicious encounter.
He smirks and Both competitors’ stares are locked as Asriel draws a line down his chest with Sour Candy’s blood.
She glares at Asriel as he reaches the curtain, he sneers back at her before leaving Sour Candy to turn and berate the crowd who are giving her a very mixed reception.

Watson: This was a bloody match. Asriel came out with some flare and so did Candy. Had either of them paid a bit more attention to the official in the ring, they could have easily won this match!
Sydney: This could really complicate things with the North American Championship standings...
Watson: I think that is the LAST thing on either of these fighters minds. This is action you will only see here on Parmount folks! We still have so much more to come tonight, stick around we will be right back!
Camera cuts to...
Marcu$ $t. John appears in front of the camera backstage, but his back is turned. He’s wearing an El Pablo “The Technicolor Technico” shirt. Fitting after his skittles helped him recover and capture his second championship. He stands there facing away from the camera for a few seconds without saying a word. Everyone wondering what he’s doing as the crowd waits for the North American Champion to say something. He finally begins to speak, still not facing the camera.
M$J: One thing I never do is overlook opponents. Aeon, if you truly prepared for this match, you would know that while I’m always looking towards the future, I keep the main thing, my next opponent in that ring. Now that next opponent is you, and not only is it you, it’s tonight!
He slowly starts to turn around until he is fully facing the camera with a big smile on his face. He looks down at his watch and then back up into the camera.
M$J: I’m not looking past you; I’m looking directly at you. You say you’ve got all the time in the world when the only time that will matter is the three seconds it takes for the ref to count you out of our match. You’re a trespasser from Prime and seeing the fact that Parabellum is coming up, I’m going to use you as a doormat on my way to Brawl and then Phuket Island.
After his words, he goes off camera and quickly comes back this time holding a clock. The back of the clock has the words Aeon Khronos on it and underneath in parenthesis it has the word “Prime”.
M$J: Aeon, welcome to the best brand in the business, welcome to Paramount. You see this clock in my hand, it signifies that your time is up. You say mistakes are costly and I wholeheartedly agree. You made a mistake by coming to Frankfurt tonight.
The crowd cheers at the name drop of their city. M$J then takes the clock and smashes it onto the ground. He looks down at his handy work. There is a piece of paper inside the clock that he picks up off the ground. He reaches down to pick it up and shows it to the camera so that everyone can see what the piece of paper says.
“My only enemy is time”
M$J: Tonight, the only enemy I’m worried about is you. Which means that you’re my sole focus. Aeon, your time is up!
The camera cuts too...

We return to ringside where Tim and Cid are standing by!
Watson: Strong words from the North American champion there! Let's see if he can back them up as he takes on Prime's Lordess of Time, Aeon Khronos!
Starr: The following match is set for one fall. Joining us first, residing at The Edge Of Time Itself and weighing in at 114 pounds ... AEON KHRONOS!
The chiming of clocks and gears fills the arena as the crowd begins booing the arrival of Aeon Khronos, paying them no mind as the beat kicks in on "Time" by Pink Floyd. She approaches the ring with a smirk on her face, enjoying what she's about to do as she slides into the ring and prepares herself for the match.
Starr: And the opponent, coming to the ring at 6'1" and weighing 210 lbs, it's The Young Mogul ... MARCU$ $T JOHN!
"Fast Lane" blasts through the arena by Bad Meets Evil. M$J slowly walks out onto the entrance ramp and soaks in the cheers. He pumps up the crowd more before posing on the center of the entrance ramp. He walks down to the ring slapping fans hands with a huge smile on his face.
He stops right before he gets to the ring and listens as he hears cheers that he is getting from the crowd. He walks around the ring and high fives anyone who has their hands out. He jumps up on the apron and wipes his feet before he enters the ring and poses in the middle of the squared circle as a light shines a hundred dollar bill in the center of the ring with his face on it.
Pyros hits as "Fast Lane" by Bad Meets Evil ends.
DING DING DING
Both meet in the middle of the ring. They move to tie up but Aeon grabs the left arm of Marcu$ and applies a hammerlock. Marcu$ tries to fight out of the hold with a back elbow that Aeon ducks. Marcu$ bends and twists his way out and cracks Aeon with with a right hand that knocks her back a few steps. Aeon runs at Marcu$ who spins her around with a powerslam. Marcu$ leans Aeon against the ropes and chops her hard across the chest. The sound echoes around the arena and Aeon clutches her chest in pain. Only for a moment though as she chops Marcu$ on his chest. He shows no reaction. Aeon slaps Marcu$ across the face. No reaction. A right hand staggers him. Aeon runs at Marcu$ before sliding into a German suplex that takes Marcu$ to the mat. As he gets to his feet, Aeon hits a DDT before making a cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!
Marcu$ pushes his way out. Aeon gets to her feet but walks into a superkick. Marcu$ covers.
ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!
Aeon gets a shoulder up almost rolling onto her side.
Watson: Still quite even right now.
Sydney: Someone will need to break it if they want to win. This isn't a tournament table, there are no points for a draw here.
Marcu$ pulls Aeon to her feet and whips her off the ropes. Aeon reverses it sending Marcu$ of the rope but he knocks Aeon to the mat with a spinning heel kick. Marcu$ has a grin on his face as he senses victory on the horizon. He lifts Aeon hitting her with a Wing Clipper. He hooks both legs on to his shoulders as he.... covers
ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!
Aeon gets a shoulder up as she punches Marcu$ in the jaw. Marcu$ grabs Aeon by the hair and lifts her onto his shoulders for a Death Valley Driver but Aeon slips off and grabs Marcu$'s legs taking him to the mat where she rolls him with a Paradox.
ONE...
TWO...
THR... NO! KICK OUT!
Marcu$ gets a hand onto the bottom rope to break the count.
Watson: Very nearly a win.
Sydney: Both are trying to break down the other but who will break first?
Aeon grabs the hand o the rope and attempts to apply a End Of Time but Marcu$ grabs the ropes with the other hand. The referee forces Aeon to break the hold. Aeon complains to the referee as Marcu$ gets to his feet. Aeon turns to Marcu$ who kicks her in the gut and lifts her into the air before hitting Bankrupt. He rolls Aeon over and makes a cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, via pinfall MARCU$ $T JOHN!
Marcu$ holds his championship in the face of a still down Aeon before holding it high in the air for the crowd to see as he walks up the ramp.
Watson: A big win here for the North American Champion here on Paramount.
Sydney: The champion showing why he is so but all credit to Aeon, she gave him a good challenge. This wasn't an easy match to have
Aeon gets to her feet holding the small of her back. She gives a small wave to the applauding crowd.
Watson: Great appreciation from this crowd here in Frankfurt! What respect. Up next, the EWC Tag Team champions are in action! We'll be right back folks!
Camera cuts to ...
As the show comes back from commercial, Lisa Goldrush stands by looking ready to play the part of interviewer extraordinaire.
Goldrush: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I'd like to welcome ...
Talfourd: Where is she!?
From well and truly outside of the shot, Sally Talfourd's voice echoes down the tunnels of the Deutche Bank Park arena. The camera wheels around to find the chaos. There's a commotion that draws the attention of just about anyone in eye-sight. Untangling herself from wires, equipment and the poor roadie who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, 'The Last Magician' performs her latest trick: Scrambling to get her hands on Lisa Goldrush. Standing, she dusts herself off and, before she can offer a hand to the person she has collected or fix the mess she's made, out the corner of her eye she spots Lisa Goldrush.
Talfourd: YOU! Don't move!
In the blink of an eye, Sally has rushed Lisa, planting two hands firmly on her shoulders. Her knuckles are white, her eyes wide with frenzy.
Talfourd: I've been looking everywhere for you! Why are you so hard to find.
Goldrush: Well ... uhhh ... you've found me now?
Sally stares intently at Lisa, her eyes scanning her.
Goldrush: I'm sorry - did we have an interview scheduled? I didn't see you on the run-sheet.
Talfourd: I need your luck.
Goldrush: My what?
Talfourd: Your luck. I need it. I need it again!
Sally pulls Lisa in for a hug. Lisa, caught off guard, nearly drops her mic as she tentatively pats Sally on the back with a free hand all the while wearing a confused look akin to the audience and any rational viewer. Eventually, after an awkward amount of time, Sally breaks free with a smile spreading from ear to ear.
Talfourd: Last week, after our little interview, I ended up winning. This week, with the CW Broadcast Championship on the line, I can't leave anything to chance. Now, I need to find Saidie ...
Goldrush: Well, before you go - while I've got you: Do you have any words about your match? Your first main event since coming to EWC, alongside your first title match - it must be exciting.
Talfourd: Hmmm, yes. I guess you could say that. I'm excited, I know that. Excited to step up. Excited to try and solidify this return of mine. I mean, it will be a pretty real return to the business if I walked out with a title belt around my waste three matches in. Then again, I don't want to get too far ahead. It might not end that way - and that's OK. There will be more opportunities down the line. More chances to prove myself.
Sally steps back and goes to leave, though quickly steps back in at the last second.
Talfourd: Of course, should I walk out champion ... well, that will make Paramount's visit to Brawl all the more magical.
With a wink, Sally beams one last smile to the camera and her fans as the shot fades out.
TAG TEAM SHOWCASE
NON-TITLE MATCH
Rushin' Roulette
VS The Southern Express
Watson: I am looking forward to that main event later tonight, but coming up next we have the EWC Tag Team Champions in action against Possibly the most decorated fighter in all of EWC, Ace King, and reigning X-Division Champion, El Pablo! I am looking forward to this one Cid, Let's head to the ring!
Starr: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 415 pounds.... Ace King, and the X-Division champion El Pablo... RUSHIN' ROULETTE!!!
Starr: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 415 pounds.... Ace King, and the X-Division champion El Pablo... RUSHIN' ROULETTE!!!
The opening riff to 'Guerrilla Radio' starts up, and strobe lights with colours throughout the spectrum begin to flash through [insert venue here]. On the first cymbal crash, Ace King and El Pablo step out to boisterous applause from the crowd. Both men throw small packs of Skittles out to the crowd as they make their way down to the ramp, both looking confident as they step into the ring, readying up for their opponents.
The electric guitar kicks in to 'Stranglehold' as the crowd gets to their feet, some of the older females in the crowd start to scream like they did when they were younger as Bunny Love walks out onto the stage and is quickly followed by Bobby Rose and Jimmy Lane
Starr: Being accompanied to the ring by Bunny Love, from Nashville, Tennessee, They are the EWC Tag Team Champions of the World...Bobby Rose and Jimmy Lane THE SOUTHERN EXPRESS!!!
Bunny leads the way as the pair reach out and high five with the fans as the walk to the ring, Bunny marches up the steps and steps through the ropes as Bobby and Jimmy climb up onto the apron and step through the ropes, take off the titles and hands them to Bunny and head to opposite corners, Jimmy climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and Bobby stands in the corner as both men toss out bandannas to the crowd as Bunny stands in the middle of the ring holding up both tag team championship belts.

Bunny leads the way as the pair reach out and high five with the fans as the walk to the ring, Bunny marches up the steps and steps through the ropes as Bobby and Jimmy climb up onto the apron and step through the ropes, take off the titles and hands them to Bunny and head to opposite corners, Jimmy climbs up to the middle turnbuckle and Bobby stands in the corner as both men toss out bandannas to the crowd as Bunny stands in the middle of the ring holding up both tag team championship belts.
DING DING DING
Ace King is starting off for RR and on the other side of the ring, Bobby and Jimmy go with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who will start. Double rock, double paper, double rock again and on the fourth try Bobby wins as paper beats rock and Jimmy concedes defeat and seps between the ropes and to the apron. Bobby turns and is met with a standing drop kick by the Gambler! Bobby to the mat, but Ace is quick to follow up by grabbing Bobby’s hair, bringing him to his feet before whipping him to the Rushin’ Roulette’s corner. In the corner, Ace follows up with a European uppercut, but Bobby dodges at the last minute by rolling out of the way. EP tags the arm of Ace and immediately springboards up and off of the top rope to catch Bobby by essentially pancaking him onto the mat. The reigning X-Division champion is quick to grab the flailing limbs of Bobby Rose and executes a reversed monkey flip that sends Bobby Rose backward and landing upside down into the Rushin’ Roulette corner! The German fans in attendance show their support for the team of King and Pablo as Bobby falls in a lump on the mat. Bobby instinctively rolls to the outside and falls to the floor as Pablo looks around for the inevitable sneak attack, but it does not come as Jimmy Lane is on the outside checking on his partner with Bunny Love.
Watson: The start of this match has been all Rushin’ Roulette so far! The EWC World tag team champions are not looking their best here tonight.
Sydney: They better shake off that post cocaine and hooker hangover and get to work or they are going to let Rushin’ Roulette punch their ticket to a World Tag Team championship match at Parabellum!
After a generous six count form referee Matt Mercer, Bobby has made his way to his home corner and rolled into the ring just long enough for Jimmy to tag in. He enters the ring, but is quickly brought right back to the mat with a jumping cross body! EP quickly follows up by bringing Jimmy to a sitting position, then shooting off the ropes and and coming back with a float over neckbreaker! EP rushes to the corner to tag in Ace and they both head to neutral corners. Ace jumps up and comes off with a moonsault, where as El Pablo jumps to the top rope and comes off with a split legged moonsault, SPINDRIFT!!! Ace with the cover now…
ONE…
TWO…
THRE- Bobby breaks it up after jumping OVER a lunging EP, who was attempting to stop him.
Bobby quickly drags Jimmy to their corner and then tries to get to the apron to tag in, but has to duck an incoming elbow from the X-Division champ! He manages to tag in despite Ace dragging Jimmy away, but he doesn’t hear the tag and gets leveled with a short arm clothesline! On the other side of the ring, Bobby is keeping EP busy by grabbing onto his legs and holding him in place. Jimmy is quick to get Ace King to his feet and whip him hard into his own partner as Bobby lets go at the last second to avoid being caught in the collison. Ace and EP collide and it sends them both down to the mat!
Watson: That may be the opening The Southern Express needs to get back on track!
Both members of Rushin’ Roulette roll away and to the outside, regrouping in their corner. Ace steps back in the ring but almost immediately El Pablo tags in and flings himself over the top rope. He is immediately met with dual superkicks from the World Tag Team champs, MIC DROP! Before Jimmy goes for the cover, Bobby runs at Ace and dives directly into him, sending The Gambler to the floor and Bobby bouncing off the ropes as he lands in the ring. He quickly gets to his feet as Jimmy has El Pablo up to his knees and is holding one of his arms out. Bobby is quick on the up take and grabs the other arm of the Technicolor Technico and a moment later they hit the double V-Trigger.. IN YOUR FACE! Bobby quickly turns and runs, hitting a suicide dive on Ace on the outside who has just gotten to his feet as Jimmy goes for the cover…
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: Here are your winners, via pinfall, The EWC World Tag Team Champions… THE SOUTHERN EXPRESS!!!
Bobby and Jimmy celebrate in the ring as Bunny Love collects the EWC Tag Team Championship belts from the time keeper. She whistles to get the Express' attention, demanding that they follow her up the ramp, cutting the celebration short.
Watson: Well that is certainly one way to show that the Express is still rolling along!! The might have started slow, but they finished strong!
Sydney: I think that might be their personal trademark Tim. You might owe them money for that one!
Watson: Either way, the question still remains after that match: WHO is going to be the next team to get a shot at the EWC World Tag Team championships?! Hopefully we will have an answer to that question soon! Well folks, what a night we have had so far, with the brutal match between Buzzard and Sour Candy, some incredible tag team matches and we still have a CW Broadcast Championship match to come!
Sydney: Yeah, it’s going to be a tall order for Sally Talfourd to take that belt off Rayder but we’ll just see…
Watson: Oh, come on! Here too? That’s been happening all over the place in EWC recently!
Sydney: Could be hackers…?
Watson: Well, whatever it is, let’s forget about it and focus on our main event!
The camera fades out to commercial.
Lisa: My guest at this time, one of the challengers for Killjoy Ito’s Undisputed Championship at Scars and Stripes next weekend, Ace King!
A visibly shaken up Ace ambles onto the interview set, looking significantly worse for wear in the immediate aftermath of his Tag Team match. The pain is evident in his expression, though he has enough wherewithal to turn his attention to the intrepid PARAMOUNT interviewer.
Lisa: Ace, obviously a tough night out there, just compounding your elimination from the Best of Rampage Tournament at Moxie’s hands a few nights ago, so where is your mind heading into Scars and Stripes?
The question seems to agitate Ace, as his eyebrow immediately flickers up.
Ace: Where’s my mind? Where’s my MIND?!?! My mind is always on finding ways to be my best, no matter what the circumstances. Yeah, the last few days have been rough, but I defy you or ANYONE else to find anyone in EWC who’s proven more capable of picking themselves up off the m-
Ace is cut off by another frozen water bottle hitting him in the head!
Ace: OW! Who the hell-?!
As he turns around to see who it is, he’s immediately rushed from behind by a man in black and knocked to the ground! The man in black beats on Ace with a lead pipe as Lisa runs to get help. The man stands up as the camera tilts up to reveal the assailant… IT’S THE RECENTLY RETURNED JACK SEVERN! He smirks down at the fallen King.
Jack: Acey boy, did you really think Prime wasn’t going to retaliate after that little stunt you pulled at Worldwide? You have to remember… This is war.
Jack leans down to Ace, pulling him up by the shirt, ONLY TO CHOKE HIM WITH THE PIPE!
Jack: You know, while I’d love to say “Prime sends its regards” and all, I gotta say now that I’m here…
Jack leans in closer.
Jack: This is VERY personal. See, that tag tournament loss really opened my eyes-
Ace: W-what do you…
‘The Gambler’ grits his teeth as he tries to get to at least a kneeling base, but Severn has him covered and cornered.
Jack: OH, so you wanna interrupt me, huh?!
Jack stops choking Ace and CRACKS him against the head with the pipe! He starts beating him OVER and OVER again as he explodes in rage!
Jack: YOU WANNA BIG TIME ME?! YOU WANNA SAY I’M ALL TALK?! YOU WANNA COMPARE ME TO SCORPIO, BUT WITH “LESS OF A KILLER INSTINCT?!” WELL HOW’S THIS FOR KILLER INSTINCT?! HOW’S THIS FOR “ALL TALK?!”
Jack lines Ace up against the wall… and RUNS, hitting him with THE SILENCER! Ace’s head cracks violently against the wall and he slumps over. Jack leans down to him again.
Jack: Look at me…
Ace is fucking dazed, spitting out blood.
Jack: LOOK AT ME, YOU STUPID SUNOVABITCH!
Jack grabs Ace by the shirt again, face red-hot with anger.
Jack: I want you to remember this face, Ace. I want you to take a long and hard look at me, because I’m the man who you should see when you close your eyes. I want you to sit in the hospital, thinking about this very moment, and know it wouldn’t have happened if you never crossed me. I want you to remember me as the reason you aren’t Undisputed Champion, and as the reason your career-
Jack aims his knee again…
Jack: -IS OVER!
BOOM! Another Silencer to Ace! Ace falls down, defeated. Jack stands up, brushing himself off.
Jack: Good fucking luck with that big title match, “Champ.”
Jack looks at the camera.
Jack: Hey Mel. Don’t think I’ve forgotten you too, “Queenie.” Looks like you’re the only royalty around now, eh?
Jack winks and laughs to himself before walking off just as medical personnel FINALLY arrive. The camera fades too...
SINGLES MATCH
FOR THE CW BROADCAST CHAMPIONSHIP
Sally Talfourd
VS Robbie Rayder
We return ringside where Tim and Cid are standing by!
Watson: What a vicious attack on the former HBO Broadcast Champion! We will keep you all updated on the condition of "The Gambler" as we get information! Up next, thought, we have Sally Talfourd challenging the current CW Champion Robbie Rayder for the title.
Sydney: Robbie will certainly be having his hands full tonight, but Sally is old. I say Robbie outlasts her.
Watson: We will definitely see if that happens or not. Sally is a… wait a second.
As the buzz of the crowd falls as the lights fade down and everyone finds themselves in darkness. After a moment of nothing, there's the crackling of an old recording, and then a voice:
"Ladies and Gentlemen!"
"Your act at this time!"
The stage screens begin to flick to life with an old reel of film showing various clips of magicians performing, shots of crowds smiling and laughing, point and wondering. All, of course, in silence.
"Sights of wonder and amazement!"
"A spectacle that will confound and amuse your mind!"
The stage screens continue to flicker with the images of an era bygone. The final clip comes to focus on a figure standing alone on a stage, the back to the screen, obscured by the shadows.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!"
"The Last Magician!"
There's a pause, and then the beginning of ‘Troublemaker’ by Troublemaker comes across the PA, the whistling first cutting through the silence then drowned out by the fans’ cheers. The screens up the stage area still show the silhouette of a lone person standing in the shadows.
Then, mirroring that shot, a sole spotlight fades in at the top of the ramp, and we find 'The Last Magician' Sally Talfourd with her back to the arena. The crowd gets louder and then, as the music kicks in, Sally turns to face the crowd, her arms outstretched and her head bowed to everyone.
Starr: The following match is for the CW Broadcast Championship. Ladies and gentlemen, making her way to the ring, 'The Last Magician' .......... SALLY TALFOURD!!!
Watson: What a vicious attack on the former HBO Broadcast Champion! We will keep you all updated on the condition of "The Gambler" as we get information! Up next, thought, we have Sally Talfourd challenging the current CW Champion Robbie Rayder for the title.

Starr: The following match is for the CW Broadcast Championship. Ladies and gentlemen, making her way to the ring, 'The Last Magician' .......... SALLY TALFOURD!!!
Sally lowers her arms, raises her head, and makes her way down the ramp. Fans rush to the railings. She makes a direct line to the ring, pulling herself up to apron, looks around to the fans before she steps in, coming through the ropes loosening her wrists. Sally laps the ring as the arena returns to normal, then takes up position across the ring, stretching her legs on the ropes and readying herself for the ring.
Starr: And her opponent, from Alamo, California, weighing in at 225 pounds ... The current CW Broadcast Champion, ROBBIE RAYDER!!
’Invincible’ by Adelita’s Way starts to play. 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 holds his hands out as if he's wanting to take everything he can. Rayder looks out at the crowd as he walks half way down towards the ring, then methodically climbs up on the apron. He climbs into the ring and sits in the corner, never taking his eyes off his opponent.
Watson: Both wrestlers are in the ring and ready to go for this Championship match up!
DING DING DING
Robbie dashes in and stops short suddenly, causing Sally to seemingly over react. Robbie uses the opening to deliver a spin kick that Sally simply side steps, then plants a standing dropkick right in Robbie’s face. She hops back to her feet quickly as Robbie does the same. Robbie presses the attack and slips in to tie up with Sally, quickly overpowering her and driving her back to the ropes. Sally starts to slip to the side and Robbie uses the ropes to come off with a tilt-a-whirl DDT. Robbie pops up and grabs Sally by the hair, only for Sally to apply a wrist lock. She cranks the hold and then Robbie rolls out of it, coming back up with a wrist lock of his own. Sally quickly breaks the hold with an elbow smash and immediately follows up with a dragon whip. Robbie flops to the mat as Sally goes for a knee drop that Robbie rolls out of the way. Robbie rolls away and up to his feet as Sally gets up a little slow, shaking her leg out a little
Watson: Talfourd came out swinging here tonight, but that failed knee drop might have done some damage to the challengers knees, and from my research on Sally, she has a history of knee issues.
Sydney: If you found it, then I can guarantee you that Robbie knows about it! He's going to use that to his advantage for sure!
Robbie smells the proverbial blood in the water and ramps up his attack. He slides in with a baseball kick for the knee that Sally desperately hops away from but Robbie appears to have expected it, quickly slipping in and wrapping her up and hitting a punishing belly to back suplex. Robbie pops back up quickly and dashes to the ropes, coming off with a flying elbow as Sally is just getting back to her feet. Sally is trying to shake the cobwebs out as Robbie doesn’t let off the gas as he yanks Sally backup and into a Blitzkrieg - deadlift German suplex! Robbie quickly hooks the legs for the pin.
ONE...
TWO.… Kick Out by Sally!
Robbie seems unphased as he quickly gets back to his feet. As Sally starts to get up, Robbie dashes in and goes for a running kneelift - but Sally slips out of the way! Robbie hits the ropes awkwardly, nearly going over the top. Sally takes the advantage and fires off a spinning wheel kick that lands right in the kidney. Robbie clutches his lower back in pain as Sally staggers a bit back, still looking a little unstable on the knee. She presses on and comes in with a forearm shot to the back of Robbie’s head, driving him forward back into the ropes. Sally grabs Robbie as he comes off the ropes and pulls him into a hammerlock. Robbie drives an elbow back into Sally’s face, breaking the hold, then hits a switch kick to Sally’s head. Sally stumbles back and Robbie springboards off the ropes with Aire Rayde V.2 - a double knee driver!
Watson: Sally Talfourd is hanging in with Rayder, but most of the high impact has been from the Champion. Sally needs to find a way to really wear down the CW Broadcast Champion
Sydney: As we saw in the last match, all it takes is ONE opening.
Robbie gets to his feet and pulls Sally back up. Sally drives a hard elbow into the midsection of Robbie, then she follows it up with an enziguri. Robbie flops onto the mat and Sally rolls up on him, locking in a kneebar. Robbie howls as he frantically tries to reach the ropes. Sally does a good job of keeping the pressure on but Robbie is inching closer, desperately reaching out for the bottom rope. The Ref is checking on Robbie but he shakes his head NO. Finally, lurching forward, Robbie finally grabs the bottom rope. The Ref calls for the break and Sally does so. She rolls away and gets slowly to her feet as Robbie uses the ropes to pull himself up. Right as Robbie gets to his feet, Sally charges in and hops up on the ropes, coming off with Either Or - a double knee facebreaker! Robbie falls back on the mat and Sally goes for the quick pin, hooking a single leg.
ONE...
TWO… Robbie gets a shoulder up!
Sally quickly transitions back to a kneebreaker from the single leg pin attempt. Robbie rolls and tries for a heel hook but Sally sees it coming and slips away. Both wrestlers are slow getting to their feet. Robbie steps forward with a thrust kick that Sally catches, pulling Robbie into a dragon screw leg whip. Robbie tries to slip away but Sally goes back after the kneebar, catching him before he can get away. Robbie makes a quick lunge and snags the bottom rope. The Ref calls for the break and Sally releases the hold. The frequent kneebars seem to have taken a toll on Robbie as he gets up limping. Sally isn’t much better on her knee but she appears to be the fresher wrestler at the moment.
Watson: Both wrestlers with damaged knees right now, this will certainly affect their arsenals I'm sure!
Sydney: Now its all down to who wants it more Tim!
Sally pushes in and grabs Robbie, sending him into the ropes. Robbie comes off the ropes and ducks under Sally spinning leg lariat, and continues into the ropes again. Robbie springboards off and catches Sally with a crossbody block! Robbie gets back to his feet and punts Sally in the ribs as she starts to stand. Sally rolls on her side and holds her ribs as Robbie stalks her. He grabs her by the hair and yanks her to her feet and clips her with a European uppercut. Sally staggers back to the ropes and Robbie whips her across the ring. Sally hits the ropes and comes off with a diving forearm smash that flattens Robbie. She rolls to her side and gets to her feet slowly. Robbie is starting to get to his feet as Sally slips in and locks in a front chancery! Robbie tries to slip out of it but Sally has it in deep and tight. Robbie tries again to slip out but can’t shake her. Finally Robbie grabs Sally and hits an inverted atomic drop. Sally staggers back in pain as Robbie dashes to the ropes and springboards into a missile drop kick that catches Sally square in the chest - sending her slamming into the Ref! The Ref flips over the top ropes as Sally nearly follows. Sally realizes she took the Ref out, and that momentary distraction gives Robbie the chance to catch her from behind with a huge straight jacket suplex.
Watson: Robbie showing off that he will do anything to win, including take the ref out! He knew what he was doing there!
Sydney: Absolutley he did! He know has free reign to inflict as much punishment as he can!
Robbie is climbing up to the top ropes and looks to be setting up Aire Rayde V.1, someone slips over the barricade behind him.
Watson: Oh my God! It’s Jordan Sharpe!
Sydney: Look out Robbie!!!
Jordan slaps Robbie’s leg and he slips off the top ropes - landing on the top turnbuckle crotch first! Robbie is stunned as Jordan scales up behind him, grabbing Robbie and hitting SuperSharpeKnife - a full nelson facebuster off the top ropes!!! Jordan quickly rolls out of the ring as Sour Candy comes storming out of the back and charging down the ramp. Jordan slips over the barricade. Sally is finally aware enough to see Robbie lying on the mat. She rolls over and covers him as the Ref sees the pin attempt and rolls back into the ring for the count.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: Your winner, and NEW CW Broadcast Champion - SALLY TALFOURD!!!
The Ref grabs Sally’s hand and lifts it in the air in victory. Robbie is starting to get to his feet and falls down. He is holding his head as he attempts to get to his feet again, and falls once more. The Ref immediately moves to check on Robbie. Sour Candy sees this and stops chasing Jordan and dives into the ring to check on her husband. Sally looks concerned as the Ref calls for the paramedics.
Watson: Sally with the win, but Jordan Sharpe soured it. I don’t think she even knows Jordan caught Robbie from behind!
Sydney: Robbie had used her to take out the ref before hand. This match was goin to devole into chaos no matter what Tim. It was an amazing match that was ruined by Jordan Freakin' Sharpe! He should be fined! It shouldn’t count! We need a ruling from GM Brock on this!
Watson: I don't think we are going to get one, but one thing is for certian... This infight between former members of 3C is not anywhere close to over!
Sydney: Just let Candy and Jordan fight already if that's what they want to do!
In the ring, Sally Talfourd has checked on her opponent, but now is trying to distract the crowd as she celebrates with the CW Broadcast championship high in the air!
Watson: Well folks, that is all the time we have for tonight. What an event this was. We will return in two weeks time as Paramount Wrestling Invades Monday Night BRAWL! Join us in two weeks from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin as the Invasion Series gets underway!!! for Cid Sydney, I am Tim Watson saying thanks for hanging out with us!
The show goes off the air as fireworks begin to erupt around all of Deutche Bank Park. Fade to black.
