Friday Night Face Off
Presented by Code Red Wrestling inc
And Under Armour
Live from Bronx, New York
(Earlier in the evening…)
A black limo pulls up into the parking lot outside of Under Armour Arena. The limo stops in front of the employee entrance and the chaffier quickly steps out and opens the door with Lou, Gravedigger, Kevin Legacy, and Michael Dredge getting out, Dredge, Legacy, and Lou are dressed to impress wearing custom suits while Gravedigger is already geared to battle, and Lou is carrying both tag titles as the team make their way into the arena but are stopped short by a large security team. Dredge steps in front of the group with an ill look about him followed with a demeaning tone.
(Michael Dredge): Get out of the way, the world champ is here to take back what was stolen...
(Security Team Leader): Sorry Mr. Dredge but by management’s orders, you are not permitted on the premises. You did know that you were suspended right?
Dredge looks back at his group with a look of disbelief, he washes his concerned look away with a smile as he chuckles…
(Dredge): You’re kidding right?
Dredge looks back at the security…
(Dredge): I figured that was just management trying to blow smoke up my ass... Right?
(Security Team Leader): I'm afraid this isn't a joke sir you are suspended indefinitely.
Dredge suddenly goes to lunge at the man but is pulled back by Legacy.
(Dredge): You piece of dog shit! Who do you think you are?! HUH?! I'm the god damned champion of the world! You can't treat me like this! They need me; I'm the one who brings the money into this place! Tell them Kev! Tell them I'm needed in there!
(Legacy): Chill man we'll get this shit sorted, just let us go in and get on the phone with Talon…
(Dredge): This is an outrage! This can't be really happening! I do what I want, when I want to do it!
The fans explode from inside the arena as Jack Bookman surfaces through the large group of security. He walks right up to Dredge obviously not intimidated by him or his goons.
(Bookman): I'm sorry what were you saying about doing whatever you wanted?
Dredge lunges once more but is yanked back. He reaches out in vein trying to grab Bookman by the throat but is being pulled back this time with the aid of Gravedigger.
(Dredge): You low down piece of shit! You’re the one behind all of it! You had it in for me from day one because you’re stuck up Eddie's ass!
Bookman has a calm confident look letting Dredge's insult roll right off.
(Bookman): Are you finished Mr. Dredge? Are you done or do you want to complain about something else?
Dredge is filled with so much rage he is visibly shaking as Legacy and Digger keep a hand on each shoulder and Lou is beside himself, now off screen yelling on his cell phone trying to speak with Talon, or someone else “on their side”.
(Bookman): You’re suspended Mr. Dredge, the next time you want to lose control and bring your personal problems into business you might just find yourself looking for a new job! World champions don't beat on women and they sure as hell dont find themselves locked behind bars! You crossed the line with what you did and it was followed with repercussions, I hope you learned something from this.
Dredge spits at Bookman as the security team steps up causing a wall between the two.
(Bookman): The great Michael Dredge isn't as untouchable as he thinks, imagine that. Now if you decide to go on a rampage and attack any personnel or damage any property of Code Red's tonight you will be fired. Fired Mike, Do you understand what I'm saying? Maybe if I spell it out for you, you will have a better grasp of what I'm saying F-I-R-E-D! FIRED! As for the rest of you gentlemen once you get control over Code Red's problem child, gear up and be ready to put on one hell of a show tonight… Tonight, this show will be run by the real pros.
Dredge remains silent as he continues to shake. Bookman walks back into the area as Legacy, Gravedigger, and Lou speak with Dredge before grabbing their bags and entering the arena, leaving Dredge outside on his own, literally beside himself…
(A few moments later…)
We see Eddie walking into the arena from another staff/employee entrance as the audience erupts; Eddie stops and looks around as he hears the cheers
(Eddie): Thank you, thank you…
He smiles and keeps walking and runs into Kelly Reyes who has some questions for him.
(Kelly): Hello Eddie can I ask some questions?
Eddie smiles
(Eddie): Well looky here, only if I can ask one…
(Kelly): Ok, Deal, me first. We all saw the promo, Doctor Lawrence is against you wrestling tonight, but through provisions in your contract your able to override any medical diagnosis when pertaining to any of your matches. I mean why wouldn’t you take doctors orders and just sit this one out or Postponed to a later date? They can’t force you to fight if you’re not cleared. Not even Talon has the power to do that, and he isn’t here.
(Eddie): Kelly, Listen… you hear that crowd… (Crowd starts chanting “Eddie Eddie Eddie”) that crowd, the fans, voted me in this match. They didn’t have too… There were a lot of other names to choose from. I got the single most votes of anyone in CRW, and you know why? Because they want to see me perform. They know with me they’re going to get my one hundred million percent. They know with me there is no quit, there is no running away. They voted me in and I owe it to all the CRW fans tog o out there and give them what they asked for because without them, there is no Eddie Phoenix in CRW, there is no Kelly Reyes, there is no Talon Wilkinson there is no Code Red Wrestling. That’s why I have decided to put my compete clause to work.
(Kelly): There are some rumors going around that your injury is more sever than originally thought to be, can you give us anything on that?
(Eddie): Kelly, I don’t make excuses I make opportunities. If Kevin Legacy has what it takes to beat me he deserves a title shot. This isn’t the first go around the playground for me. When my career first started I was a hardcore wrestler. I am no stranger to broken ribs, cracked fibulas, broken noses concussions and burns. No excuses. Plus, what if I sat this out, and someone else stepped in and wiped the floor with Legacy? Where does that put me? That puts me trailing some guy who shouldn’t have even had the chance to begin with and now he stands in the way because of a few boo boos and ouchies. No thank you. I have never backed down from a fight and I most definitely don’t plan on starting now.
Kelly giggles
(Eddie): What’s so funny?
(Kelly): boo boo’s and ouchies
(Eddie): you like that, …Ok Kelly, I got to run, I have some staff waiting for me to wrap my ribs up.
Eddie starts to walk away as Kelly calls out to him
(Kelly): Eddie you never asked me my question…
Eddies tops and looks back with a slight smile.
(Eddie): I had one and I can’t remember now.
(Kelly): Let me help you, …..yes I am Single.
Eddie smiles and nods and puts his hand to his heart then blows her a kiss, then turns and walks away. Kelly is standing there blushing about to catch the kiss as a hand snatches it from the air. Kelly gets serious as the camera pans back and we see Gravedigger as the crowd erupts in boos holding the air kiss in his hand, he throws it to the ground and stomps it as the camera pans to show Lou Manson is in Kelly Reyes face smiling. Gravedigger looks at Kelly and gets really close to her as he slowly smells her hair. The crowd is booing even louder... Gravedigger grunts as he walks out of the scene but Lou is still looking at Kelly. She is clearly nervous, the camera pans back as Lou breaks out in laughter and walks away and we go live to the Production truck…
(Voice over: Talon Wilkinson): THIS is what the edge of your seat was made for…
…The following program is rated TV MA LSV and may contain adult situations, strong language, Sexual Content, and Violence. Viewers Discretion is advised.

A large fireworks display erupts around the UA-tron as the sold out crowd is on their feet as ‘‘Injection’‘ by Rise Against blasts over the PA system. The fans are rabid as the camera cuts to ring side with the CRW commentary team!
(Mike Conway): Welcome everyone, this is CRW Face Off! We’re live here tonight from New York City, and tonight folks we have a great series of matches as well as all the fallout from November Reign!
(Eli Brooks): That’s right Mikey! We’ve got some great matches tonight, including Angelus Dante Ambrosi’s first Apex Championship defense!
(Mike): November Reign brought major change to the Code Red landscape! Logan Neilson is our new World Champion, A.D.A. is the first Apex Champion, and we also saw an amazing battle between Eddie Phoenix and Talon Wilkinson!
(Eli): Indeed an amazing event, but the biggest news is that Talon Wilkinson is not here tonight and he is giving up some of his control while he is gone, and the other thing is the way the division managers, Vlad, Bookman, and McNeil suspended Michael Dredge indefinitely before he could even have his World title rematch!
(Mike): E, Dredge assaulted and battered his manager Sandra! He was arrested, he was combative, and he also verbally berated the fans at an autograph signing… He’s lucky he is walking around as a free man, let alone working for a company like Code Red Wrestling.
(Eli): This was all a conspiracy, cooked up by Bookman and McNeil to get more control over this company and put their champion on the top… It’s ridiculous and appalling, and I really hope that Talon isn’t gone very long or else this company could be folding fast.
(Mike): We have all night to discuss this issue E, but right now we’re sending it down to our ring announcer Ramon de la Hoya for the introductions of our opening match this week!
Fallen vs. Poe Alexander Covinus
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen the following is our opening contest and it is scheduled for one fall!
"Welcome to the Family" by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play as the arena dims and red lights flash around the arena. On the UA-Tron flashes the words....In every Saint there is a Sinner.... As pictures of Fallen’s masks flash across the screen one by one. Ending finally on his current mask. Then the words....And in every Sinner there is a Saint!.... As the pyros explode, the spotlight stops on Fallen standing on the ramp raising a black bat high into the air. He quickly runs down to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He quickly jumps up and hops to the second turnbuckle raising his bat high. He turns and sits on the top turnbuckle as he adjusts his taped hands and awaits his opponent.
(Announcer): And his opponent… Poe Alexander Covinus!
The fans boo as they await Covinus’ theme and entrance, but before they get anything from the stage, Poe jumps the barricade from the crowd and attacks Fallen from behind! The fans get behind Fallen as he fights him off for a moment…
(Mike): Look at this, in his first match, Poe Covinus is going to try to sneak attack Fallen… Definitely something he learned from Angelus Ambrosi.
(Eli): Mike, come on, I like this “outside of the box” methodology. Sometimes you have to use unconventional methods to win a battle.
Poe and Fallen lock up, and Poe drives Fallen back towards the ropes. Poe grabs Fallen and whips him towards the opposite ropes. Fallen comes off the ropes, and ducks under a clothesline from Poe. He hits the ropes again and leaps into the air as he comes off with a cross body block. Poe catches Fallen in mid air, and holds him there for a second before dropping him down into a rib breaker. Poe holds on and lifts him back into the air and then drops him back down onto his knee with a second rib breaker.
(Eli): Impressive display by Poe so far Mike, attacking those ribs not only wears Fallen down, it makes every breath he takes hurt!
(Mike): Sound strategy there indeed Eli, Covinus is coming out hot.
Poe pulls Fallen back to his feet and hooks up with him and blasts him with a huge snap suplex. He quickly rolls back on top of Fallen for the pin.
1…….2…….kickout.
Poe grabs the arm of Fallen and locks in an arm bar. Poe really yanks down on the arm, and Fallen yells out in pain. Fallen fights his way back to a vertical base and kicks Poe in the gut. A second kick to the gut forces Poe to release the arm bar. Fallen moves right into Poe and forces him back into the ropes. Fallen whips Poe towards the opposite side ropes. He hits the ropes and comes back, and Fallen drops down to the mat and catches Poe with a drop toehold. Fallen quickly grabs the left leg of Poe and locks in an ankle lock in the center of the ring.
(Eli): Poe needs to get to the ropes to break this hold.
(Mike): Fallen has it locked in pretty well, you can tell that Poe hasn’t scouted his opponent well though, he never saw that ankle lock coming!
Poe reaches out towards the bottom rope and just misses it. Fallen tries to pull Poe back away from the ropes, but he reaches out again and grabs onto the bottom rope with one hand. The ref comes in and calls for the break. Fallen quickly lets go, but goes right back on the attack. He yanks Poe away from the ropes and drops down and hooks the leg for the pin, 1………2…………right shoulder up.
Fallen pulls Poe back to his feet from behind. He grabs him by the head and falls back with a reverse DDT. Fallen again quickly goes for the pin, 1……..2………..NO!
Fallen pops right back to his feet and flies to the corner. He quickly climbs to the top just as Poe gets to his feet. He slowly turns around and Fallen leaps off the top rope and connects square with a missile drop kick. Fallen goes for the pin again, 1………2…
Fallen yanks Poe back to his feet and whips him into the corner. He stalks in after him and locks arms with him, pulling him out of the corner. Fallen picks him up, and goes for Ticket Damnation, but Poe manages to roll over and pull Fallen into a pin.
1................2...........No! Fallen just breaks the near fall as Both men are back on their feet. Poe runs at Fallen, and Fallen pushes him on by and off the ropes. Poe comes back, unknown to Fallen, who is turned the other way, and they collide, both men cracking heads and falling to the mat…
(Mike): Wow, both men just went head to head there, the ref has began his 10 count!
(Eli): That was an ugly bump there Mike, this just leveled the playing field though.
(Mike): …wait… wait, whats this?! Come on!
The camera cuts to the ramp as Angelus Dante Ambrosi and Whitman Trent Frost walk down the ramp to the ring.
(Mike): What are they doing out here?
(Eli): I’m sure they just want to cheer their partner on and give him moral support. Frost isn’t going to hurt anyone; he can hardly walk without that cane for God’s sake.
(Mike): C’mon Eli, you know this is more than support…
Frost climbs up onto the ring steps as the ref turns and stops his ten count so that he can order Frost to get off of the steps… Right then, ADA slides under the ropes behind the ref and lifts up Fallen, planting him with the “Hopeless” (Roll of the Dice). ADA grabs Covinus’ arm and drags him over Fallen’s chest and exits the ring with a smile on his face as Frost slowly steps off of the steel steps and watches as the ref turns and sees Covinus with the cover.
(Mike): No, this is just wrong!
The ref counts 1….2….3 and the bell sounds as Ambrosi quickly gets into the ring and helps Covinus to his feet before the group quickly exits the ring…
(Announcer): Here is your winner, Poe Alexander Covinus!
Ambrosi and Frost stand on either side of Covinus as they raise his arms with their own as the fans boo him starkly.
(Eli): No matter how you look at it, Poe Covinus wins his debut match here in CRW!
(Mike): I don’t agree with the way he did it, but he did it… He better thank his buddy Ambrosi though, because I think they were headed for a double count out after that collision… but folks, we are going to send it backstage now for an interview with one of the newest members of the CRW roster…
The camera goes to the backstage arena. Standing there is Jasmine Locklear with a huge smiled on her face. Jasmine looks into the camera as she speaks…
(Jasmine Locklear): “Hello folks, I am Jasmine Locklear, I was standing here in the back and I came across some new talent that will debut soon here at Code Red Wrestling. It seems CRW is forming a small women’s division here to see how it goes and We have just signed on a new female wrestler by the name of Jasmine Lee...”
Jasmine Lee comes into the picture wearing a pair of blue jeans with a black and red hood lowered down. Jasmine smiled towards the camera as she waves towards it a bit.
(Jasmine Lee): “Hello there Code Red Wrestling fans I am Jasmine Lee and I am from right here in Brooklyn, New York!”
The crowd screams as she smiles. Jasmine Locklear laughs a bit as she looked over at her.
(J. Lee): “It great to see that Code Red Wrestling is about to add some Female Wrestlers to the roster. I believe not only will the girls bring some beauty to the roster but also bring some more talent and excitement!... You see there is something the boys here might not think I have which is talent. I know how to go inside of that ring and kick ass. I am ready to do that here in Code Red Wrestling and I believe they are not ready for this chick but they better get ready. Once I start on a roll here I will be unstoppable and there is nothing anyone can do about it.”
That is when Crazy Ivan appears as he walks over to the women. Jasmine Lee looks up at the tall big man who has on pair blue jean and leather jacket. Jasmine Locklear is kind of shocked that he is there as Jasmine Lee places her hands on her well shaped hips. Jasmine Lee doesn’t look scared or impressed one bit. Ivan snatches the microphone from Jasmine Locklear which scare her as she runs off as Jasmine Lee stands her ground…
(Ivan): “You see I find it funny that they are thinking about signing female wrestlers. In my country women are good for one thing. They are good to be in the kitchen making food for their husband. The ring isn’t a female place.”
Jasmine smirks as she gets into his face. He gets back right into her as it seems they are in a stare down … Suddenly out of nowhere she slaps him hard across the face! Ivan does not flinch, but he growls and is ready to attack Jasmine it seems, but Bob Lancaster, Ivan’s manager quickly intervenes.
(Lancaster): Ms. Lee, I suggest you leave before I allow Ivan to break you and send you back to the kitchen!
(Jasmine): Why don’t we settle this next Face Off? I say Ivan vs. Me! I’ll show you how American Girls handle business!
Crazy Ivan shoves Bob Lancaster out of the way and steps back into Jasmine’s face…
(Ivan): …I vill crush you… Good Luck.
Ivan walks away as we go back to the ringside. It seems the announce team is shocked with what just happened…
(Mike): Wow Eli, Ivan gets tough with a girl, and now they may have a match for next week on Face Off…
(Eli): I don’t know who is more stupid, Ivan for challenging, or Jasmine Lee for accepting the challenge… this won’t end well.
(Mike): Interesting indeed, and with CRW Owner Talon Wilkinson being on “hiatus” we don’t even really know who will make that match or veto it. We know Ronnie McNeil, Jack Bookman, and Vlad Romanov have about 50 percent of the decision making powers for Face Off and PPV events, but Talon holds the other 50 some-odd percent alone, and we learned from new Press Manager, Kayden Wright that Talon’s power was being given to someone on staff until he decides to return…
(Eli): I really hope he doesn’t give that power to Jack Bookman… that guy is a weasel.
(Mike): What? Eli, Mr. Bookman is one of the reasons Talon and Dredge aren’t complete Totalitarians right now… you can’t be serious when you say that Jack Bookman isn’t good for CRW.
(Eli): I said what I had to say on the matter… it’s time for our next match.
Grim “The Reaper” Draconis vs. Justice Legal vs. Kama Lama
(Announcer): The following contest is a triple threat match, first coming to the ring… Justice Legal!
"Voices" By Rev Theory hits and the crowd goes wild as a spotlight hits the ramp and strobe lights go off. Justice Legal walks out and points at the fans as an smile cracks on his face. He walks down wearing his ring gear and a t-shirt that reads "Legal Action", he walks down the ramp high fiving his fans and then stops at the bottom of the ramp where he looks from side to side then slides into the ring. He gets on the turnbuckle and poses for the fans once again.
(Eli): You know, I liked Justice Legal during his first stint here in CRW, but this time around he’s a little soft... I’m not a fan.
(Mike): Doesn’t surprise me, you always hate when a guy decides to stop being a douchebag.
(Announcer): And his opponent, Grim “The Reaper” Draconis!
The stage, ramp and ring fill with blood red smoke as "Scream'' by Avenged
Sevenfold hits the arena and Grim Draconis walks out with a towel over his head and the towel has what looks like dried blood all over in Reaper walks towards the ring at a steady pace when he gets to the ring he slides into the ring as he does the ring gets struck by what looks like lightening and the ring post start on fire Reaper stands on the second rope getting close to the flames with his arms crossed he throws the towel off his head and the audience can see that he has blood red eyes he jumps off the ropes and stands with is back against the ropes with his arms still crossed and a sinister smile on his face.
(Announcer): ...and their opponent, Kama Lama!
‘Undead’ by Hollywood Undead hits and Kama comes out to a huge shower of cheers. Kama raises his arm while on the stage and smiles while the fans cheer him on. Kama goes into the ring and climbs up onto the turnbuckle pumping up the fans.
(Mike): This one should be a big factor for who climbs the ladder in challenging Lucas Payne or Diego de la Vega for the Anarchy Championship, all three men are quality challengers in my book.
(Eli): That is a good point, I don’t know who will walk out of tonight as Anarchy champion, but whoever it is, might have one of these guys nipping at their heels right away.
The bell rings and all three men, cautiously, pace around the ring in a clockwise direction. Legal and Lama can be seen jawing back and forth while Grim watches, looking for an opening. He doesn’t have to wait long when Lama says something that has Legal turn on the spot and go for him and they tie up. Lama ducks out and comes behind Legal but before he can do anything Grim whips him round in flattens him with a short arm clothesline. Legal turns but just in time for Grim to rock him with a hard right hand, He looks for a left but Legal is quick to read it, dodging out the way. He takes advantage of the unbalanced Grim and whips him against the rope then ducking for a back drop but Grim leaps over him, rebounding off the ropes again taking Legal down with a chop block. He bounces to his feet quickly but is sent reeling back into the corner when Lama drop kicks him in the chest and before he can fight back Lama runs in and from nowhere hit’s the Light the Fuse(springboard round house). He hooks Grim’s leg looking for the pin as the ref counts 1.…….2.. But Legal breaks it up with an elbow drop.
(Mike): Close call there, Kama had a shot at getting out of here early, but Justice Legal broke it up.
(Eli): Nice moves by both men early on here, what will be interesting is to see how Kama and Legal go at each other, there is no love loss between them.
Legal continues his assault lifting Kama up into an inverted atomic drop. Lama hops away holding his groin as Legal floors him with a big boot to the head. He turns just in time to duck a clothesline by Grim and he catches him with a stiff left hand, throwing Grim over the top and to the outside. Legal turns his focus back onto Kama Lama and picks him up by the hair, they tie up and Legal over powers him, rams a knee into his gut then hits a big swinging DDT. He looks for the cover and ref counts 1.…….2.… But Lama kicks out. Legal doesn’t let up and quickly looks for the submission and manages to lock Lama in the sharpshooter. But the hold doesn’t last long, Grim sliding in the ring with a steal chair, cracks Legal on the back of the head. He looks down at Lama who starts to get up to one knee and mercilessly brings the chair down on the top of his head, busting him open big time. Grim laughs and raises his arms in the air to a shower of boos by the Code Red fans.
(Mike): Grim just “levelled” the playing field here with that steel chair!
(Eli): Well, this is an anarchy division match, which means Anarchy Rules are in play.
(Mike): You are right E, no disqualifications, anything goes here tonight.
Happy with his work, Grim easily lifts Lama up and tosses him over the top and he turns to find Legal already back on his feet. He grabs him and whips him hard into the corner but Legal drops and slides under the ropes and catches his breath, leaving Grim looking pissed in the ring. Legal flips him off before looking for weapons under the ring, much to the delight of the fans. Grim starts to come out of the ring after him, when Legal vanishes under the ring and Grim waits for him, chair in hand... Legal comes out from the other side of the ring, holding a kendo stick and sneaks around the ring and attacks Grim from behind with a flurry of well placed shots to the head and neck area! Legal grabs him back up and bounces his head of the ring post, grabbing his head again and he looks for the Legally Dominate (Spinning Hangman’s Facebuster) but Kama Lama interrupts with spear to Legal’s ribs. Lama, still suffering decides to take a rest by rolling into the ring. Eventually Grim starts to stir and he lifts Legal up and they start to exchange blows when Lama comes diving over the ropes only for Legal to catch him and power slam him through the announcers table! He gets up sluggishly when Grim kicks him in the groin and looks for the twist of fate but before he can execute the move Legal shoves him away and he smashes head first into the ring post again and he stumbles back, this time hitting the Legally Dominate (Spinning Hangman’s Facebuster). Legal turns and rolls Lama into the ring and follows in after him. The bloodied Lama slowly starts to get to his feet, using the ropes, and Legal looks to finish him off as he grabs him up and slams him down with the Justice Hammer (Jackhammer). He looks for the pin and the ref counts 1.………2.…….3!
(Announcer): Here is your winner... Justice Legal!
(Mike): An impressive win for Justice Legal in his return match here on Face Off. Eli, what do you think?
(Eli): It was a tough battle, and for Legal to trump Kama Lama and Grim Draconis here tonight, he showed me a little something, but I still don’t like the kid...
Justice Legal starts to celebrate his victorious return, but is stopped dead in his tracks when Grim cracks him across the back with a chair and then grabs him into the "Ride of the 4 horsemen" (3 Rolling German Suplexes into a torture Crab Submission). He has Legal tapping but he doesn’t care and he continues to wrench back, the referee getting in his face for him to release the hold. Eventually Grim lets go and makes a move for the ref who cowers and he just laughs at him, climbing out of the ring to more boos from the fans as he walks back up the ramp, holding his hand in the air victoriously.
As Justice Legal and Kama Lama each make their way to the back, Kayden Wright comes walking down to the ring with a letter in one hand and the mic in another. Once she gets into the ring the crowd begins to buzz with anticipation of this mysterious announcement…
(Announcer): Please welcome CRW’s Media spokesperson, Kayden Wright!
(Mike): This isn't scheduled, what the hell?
(Eli): Who cares if it isn't or it is, let me just marvel at the sight of this delicate piece of eye candy!
Kayden opens the letter; holding it out with one hand she gets straight to business
(Kayden): Hello fans, I have an announcement from our current 50% majority controller, they have asked me to make this announcement in order to continue to keep their identity hidden to avoid controversy… For the next Face Off a tag team match has been scheduled… The Sons of Anarchy, William and Grim Draconis will face Gravedigger and Kevin Legacy…
The crowd erupts into cheers
(Kayden): The Tag Team Championship will be on the line!
The crowd goes into frenzy.
(Kayden): This will be a standard tag team match…
(Mike): Who made this lineup?
Kayden folds the letter back up.
(Eli): Maybe if you will shut up we will find out!
(Kayden): Thank you very much everyone, I have also been told to inform you that our majority controller will soon make themselves known… so please, enjoy the show and have a great night!
Kayden makes her exit the crowd watches her depart with many confused as to what that was all about.
(Eli): I don't know what that was all about and I really don't care the only thing there is to say about Kayden is WOW! How does the boss do it?!
(Mike): I'm just a little confused here, who's running the tag division? Is it Vlad, Ronnie, and Bookman collectively or is that under Talon's control? I think someone is going to be having to answer up so things are a little clearer; and why in the world did they send Kayden out here with a letter? Why not come out here themselves and make the announcement. Something just isn't right, something’s fishy here...
(Eli): Well it certainly isn't Kayden!
(Mike): What?
(Eli): You just said something’s fishy here.
(Mike): Oh my god Eli just shut up!
William “The Dragon” Draconis vs. “The Predator” Karl Sykes
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is an Apex Division match… First coming to the ring, being accompanied by Grim Draconis, William “The Dragon” Draconis!
“Nautral Born Killer'' by Avenged Sevenfold hits the arena and a video clip of the General Lee jumping. He jumps around gets on his knees at the head of the ramp pointing to him as fireballs shoot off in the air. He jumps up and heads slowly to the ring, where he enters dancing and posing to the crowd. He gets down in an HBK stance, flexing his biceps as pyro shoots off and the fans boo.
(Mike): Now we saw Grim in action just moments ago, and now he’s out here again, this time with his Brother William… The two just found out they have a tag title shot coming their way next Face Off, so I guess they figure they should have a little continuity going on tonight.
(Eli): Smart move, Grim is still learning, and who better to teach him than his big brother William.
(Announcer): And his opponent… “The Predator” Karl Sykes!
“Where the Spirit Leads Me" by Times of Grace plays as Karl Sykes walks out on to the stage carrying a bottle of water. He looks into the crowd as he receives a mixed reaction before slowly but confidently walking down to the ring. Once in the ring he takes a long drink from his bottle and throws the half empty bottle into the crowd, showering most of the front row, he smirks as his music fades out.
(Mike): What do you think of Karl Sykes Eli?
(Eli): I really like the kid, he’s got a lot of strong qualities, and even though I think he should be a little less “nice” to people, he is a very talented wrestler.
(Mike): He’s also good friends with our own Jasmine Locklear.
(Eli): Yes, that is also true, and anyone who can tame that biscuit, is ok in my book.
Mike looks at Eli with a disgusted look on his face…
The bell rings and Sykes immediately runs at Draconis and flies through the air taking him down with a sudden and shocking Yakuza kick! Draconis rolls form the ring holding his head as Grim jumps up on the apron protesting. Sykes wastes no time in pursuing The Dragon outside of the ring. Grim hops down and gets between Dragon and Sykes, but Karl quickly jumps and hits a bicycle kick that drops Grim to the floor as well! Dragon slides back into the ring and Sykes gives chase, but when he slides in, he is met with a barrage of stomps from The Dragon.
(Eli): Shoulda seen that coming… I don’t get how guys still fall into that trap. Oldest trick in the book…
(Mike): Sykes has come out with some intensity though Eli, He told me earlier today that he was going to make a statement to the Apex division and Mr. Bookman… Karl believes he is ready for a Apex title shot, and he wants to prove it.
(Eli): Well he’s gotta stop running into boots if he wants to do that.
Draconis lifts Sykes up, but Karl quickly breaks the grasp and hits the ropes. Draconis ducks under Sykes’ clothesline attempt, and catches Karl with a jumping knee that staggers him back into the corner. Draconis runs at him and drives a hip into his midsection and then grabs Karl’s head and runs with a bulldog. The fans boo as The Dragon covers Sykes.
…1!
…2!
… Kickout!
Draconis lifts Sykes up, quickly driving a sharp knee into his gut and sets him up in a powerbomb position! He lifts him up into the Crucifix powerbomb position, but before he can execute the “Dragon Knockout” Sykes gets free. Dragon quickly grabs Sykes’ arm and whips him hard into the ropes, as Sykes rebounds, he ducks a running boot from Draconis. He hits the far side ropes, but Grim grabs his foot causing him to stumble right into Dragon who nearly decapitates him with a “Bloodline” (Clothesline from Hell). Dragon covers Sykes again and the ref gets into position.
…1!
…2!
…kickout!
(Eli): What a clothesline!!!
(Mike): Impressive power indeed, but Karl got tripped!
(Eli): Not my fault he’s a clumsy guy.
(Mike): C’mon Eli, you saw it… Grim tripped him.
(Eli): …did the ref see it? Then it didn’t happen.
Dragon lifts Karl up once again but Karl fights back with desperation shots to keep the big man back and off of him. Dragon backs up just a step, but that’s all Sykes needs; he darts across the ring and quickly rebounds, jumping and connecting with the “Killshot” (Busaiku knee Attack)! Draconis is out of it, but before Sykes can get the cover, Grim again inserts himself into the match by climbing into the ring! The ref is ordering him out, missing Sykes pin fall. After a few seconds Karl gets up and sees what is going on. He gets up and grabs the ref, turning him around, and when he does, Grim kicks him in the groin! The ref doesn’t see it, and Grim exits the ring with a smile on his face. Draconis begins to stir as Karl is leaning on the ropes trying to recover from the low blow.
Dragon gets back to his feet and shakes off the effects of the knee to the face he received just moments before, he approaches Skyes and grabs him by the throat, lifting him up off of his feet and chokeslams him to the mat, he hooks the far leg and the ref gets into position.
…1
…2
…Kickout!
The fans pop for the kickout, but They begin to boo as Draconis raises his left hand, calling for what could possibly be the end of the match. The Dragon lifts Karl up to his feet and hooks him for a vertical suplex. Karl kicks his feet as he is vertical, using his momentum to fall down behind Draconis, countering the suplex and leaping, grabbing the back of his head and dropping him with a neck snapping “Syked Out” (Zig Zag)!!!
The fans are shocked as Sykes covers him as the ref counts…
…1!
…2!
…3!
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, Karl Sykes!
Karl quickly rolls from the ring as Grim slides in a moment too late. The fans are on their feet as Sykes stands on the entrance ramp with a big smile on his face, seemingly pleased with his victory.
(Mike): Sykes wins! He hit that “Syked Out” out of nowhere!
(Eli): That was damned impressive; he virtually won a handicap match, so I really have to tip my cap to Karl here tonight.
(Mike): A “statement” win here tonight for Karl Sykes, and on the flip side of the coin, where does this leave William Draconis and his brother Grim? They have a tag title shot next week, and now they have both dropped their matches tonight.
(Eli): I think the Sons of Anarchy will be fine, but they won’t want to let this night linger in the minds going forward.
(Mike): Well E, I’m getting word that we have a special interview set up backstage so we are going to send it back to Kelly Reyes right now... Kelly.
The camera cuts to backstage were Kelly is standing with the CRW World Heavyweight Champion Logan Neilson.
(Kelly): Hello everyone, Mike, Eli... I’m here with Logan Neilson, CRW Champion and the man who along with Eddie Phoenix, seemingly has ended Talon Wilkinson and Michael Dredge’s reign of terror on the CRW... Now Logan, after Dredge’s suspension, you were booked to face Gravedigger tonight, how do you feel about your match up with him?
(Logan): Aye, well thanks for havin mae Kelly, Always a pleasure. Now for Digger I’ve got tae say, it won’t be as easy a loss as last time you had a world title shot... in case yae dinnae remember, that big bastard went and laid down for Dredge tae pin his arse after he beat him tae pish. I’m nae here tae be a chest beater or a blow hard, so I’m ginnae keep this short and sweet so people can go back to wrestling.
Logan pauses and looks into the camera.
(Logan): Gravedigger, Lou, Legacy, Dredge... I dinnae care who taefook I face in the ring, I’m going to give mae all and do mae best to come out as the winner. I worked hard for this championship, worked all my life... and now I am here, I’m not going to be easy to supplant. This belt, this company... they mean something to me, and I am going to do mae best to do it proud.
Kelly smiles and looks at the camera.
(Kelly): Well there you have it folks, we’ll be looking forward to tonight’s main event, now Eli... Mike... back to you.
Kelly and Logan shake hands as the camera cuts back to ringside.
Anarchy Championship Match: Diego de la Vega vs. “The Sandman” Lucas Payne
(Announcer): The following contest is for the Anarchy Championship! First coming to the ring, the challenger... Diego de la Vega!
The fans come to their feet as "El Rey" by Vicente Fernandez plays and Diego De La Vega enters the arena with a lot of energy. He raises his left arm while slapping his chest twice with his right arm. As he walks down the ramp he exchanges high fives with people along the side reaching out to grab him. He climbs the ring steps and slingshots himself into the ring from the apron. In the ring he raises both arms and points to the heavens while bowing his head, saying a small prayer and waits for his opponent.
(Mike): Diego de la Vega has won these fans over in quick fashion. He has a huge following already, he’s taken the CRW by storm, but so has his counter part tonight, Lucas Payne. Lucas may not have a huge fan base, but his success is unquestionable, and his strength and brutality aren’t attributes you can easily over look.
(Eli): Especially in this division, the Anarchy division thrives on brutality and raw power. Diego may have run into a wall tonight, this matchup doesn’t favour him all to well.
(Announcer): And his opponent... He is the CRW Anarchy Champion, “The Sandman”... Lucas Payne!
The lights go out and an evil laugh is heard echoing throughout the arena. The arena then begins to glow with red lights as ‘Bloodline’ by Slayer plays through the PA system. Smoke billows out from the entryway, covering the ramp, and after a few moments Lucas Payne comes stomping out through the cloud of smoke and makes his way to the ring. He climbs in over the top rope, and pounds his chest with his fists before raising both arms in the air and growling at the crowd. He then lowers his arms and stares towards Diego as he hands the ref the Anarchy Championship.
As usual with an Anarchy Championship match the ringside area is peppered with weapons. As soon as the bell rings both men waste no time, Payne uses his sheer aggression and bursts towards De La Vega but the speedy Luchador ducks and dances behind Payne delivering a swift kick to the back of Payne’s thigh for good measure. He changes his stance as Payne charges at him once more and Diego looks for a quick arm drag but Payne stands firm. He grabs Diego towards him and whips him hard into the turnbuckle causing him to bounce out again only to be floored by a powerful clothesline. The champ picks him up by the mask and chops him hard across the chest. He pulls Diego back towards him and chops him again, the fans WOO-ing. He pulls him towards him a third time and grabs him around the waste and hurls him over with a rough belly-to-belly suplex. Wasting no time Payne gets out of the ring and slides a table inside. Diego starts to stir as Payne picks up a chair on the outside and to the delight of the CRW fans, sets up a second table outside the ring. Diego is back to his feet and he runs to the ropes but Payne detects his movement and turns, swinging the chair hitting nothing but fresh air as Diego reads his counter, back flipping in the top rope and back into the ring. Payne looks a bit confused and Diego runs up the turnbuckle, this time launching himself with a cross body onto Lucas on the outside.
(Mike): Whoa, some impressive things going on here so far tonight! This one is living up to its billing!
(Eli): Diego is keeping up in this one, but The champion still has the advantage of power.
Diego is first to his feet, although at little unsteady and he manages to pick the chair that Payne dropped. He turns and gets ready as Payne gets slowly to his feet only to be dropped again by a hard chair shot to the head. Diego lifts him up and rolls him back into the ring, following in himself and setting up the table. He lifts Payne up again who starts to fight back and he whips Diego against the ropes who leaps onto the second rope, and spring boards back looking for a Moonsault but Payne catches him midair and slams him through the table. He looks for the pin and the ref counts 1.………2.…. But Diego kicks out. Payne looks at him in disgust, snatching back up to his feet by his mask, Payne walks him over to the ropes and lifts him to toss him through the next table. But Diego fights back and manages to escape and lands on the apron behind Payne he lands a hard punch to the small of Payne’s back, gets his feet on the bottom rope for leverage and reaches over the top rope, grabbing him by the waist and somehow lifting him up and over, and through the table with a massive Rolling German Suplex - "Dos Lagrimas" (High Impact). He looks for the pin and the ref gets into position and counts 1.……….2.…… NO! Payne kicks out at the last millisecond.
(Mike): I thought Diego had him there!
(Eli): If it were a smaller man, Diego would be champion right now, but that size difference, changes the pinfall and the difficulty to kick out so much. Lucas is just too big and too strong!
The crowd starst a ‘Go Diego Go! Go Diego Go!’ chant as both men start to stir on the floor with Diego, using the ring steps to get to his feet, Payne still on one knee, holding onto the railings. Diego sees his chance to put him down and shakes off the cob webs to sprint along the apron and launch himself into the air, but Payne manages to dive out of the way and Diego crashes into the railing and into the first row causing soda and other snacks to fly everywhere as the fans scatter to safety. Payne grins as he watches the carnage, lifting up a cast iron frying pan from a trash can of weapons. Diego sprawls over the railing into fans area and gets to his feet just as Payne brings the pan down on his skull with a massive ‘Clunk!’ Diego lies, almost unconscious across the front row of chairs and Payne grabs him and hoists him back over to ring side with a vertical suplex. Diego lies motionless some blood trickling from somewhere under his mask, Payne grabs him up once more, rolling him inside the ring and follows in taking a steel chair with him. Payne opens out the chair and lifting Diego up he looks to hit the Dark Slumber (Tiger Driver) onto the chair when Diego flips out of the move into a shocking sunset flip pinfall the fans are frantic as the ref counts 1.…….2.…….kickout!!!
The fans are stunned, all believing the match is over, but suddenly the stun turns into horror as Lucas quickly gets to his feet and drives a big boot into Diego’s face. Diego is still very weak as Lucas lifts him up over his head into a military press and tosses him into the air, sending him crashing down face first into the open steel chair! He covers him as he smiles sadistically and the ref gets into position... counting 1....2.....3!
The bell rings as Lucas stands up slowly and continues his sick smile.
(Mike): Lucas Payne picks up a win, retaining the championship, but the story right now might be how Diego de la Vega is doing after that nasty impact there.
(Eli): He had his chances and looked great in the ring, but the power was his downfall. That was a vicious move from Lucas Payne, but the Sandman promised to put him to sleep tonight.
Lucas Payne leaves the ring with his Anarchy championship as the referee helps Diego up to his feet. The fans give Diego a large ovation as he slowly staggers across the ring, a good amount of blood seeping through his mask as he tries to get his feet under him to exit the ring. The fans continue their “Go Diego Go” Chant as he waves to them on his way up the ramp.
(Mike): Its good to see Diego walk out of here tonight, that was a rough shot he took there... Now shifting gears a little bit Eli, lets go backstage...
The camera cuts to the back to find Eddie nearly completely wrapped in tape as the medical staff went to get more tape… The camera pans to see Smokehouse Jones sitting across from him.
(Eddie): Smokehouse, thanks for staying put. And thanks for picking me from the hospital.
(Smokehouse): No problem man. Any friend of Merlyn’s is a friend of mine, Plus Jack talks highly of you.
(Eddie): Well thanks again man, how is Merlyn, heard from him?
(Smokehouse): All I know is that he told me he needed some times to fix some things in his life. I have called him, but no one picks up, I know he was saying something about a trip. But I haven’t heard from him in about three days.
(Eddie): Crazy guy, if he could keep his head in the game he would make some noise. Maybe leaving and clearing things up will help him get his focus back.
Smokehouse Phone goes off and he answers it…
(Smokehouse): Hello, Ok, Jack wants to see me… no problem I’ll be there…(HANGS UP) hey listen, Jack needs me, I’m gonna head out, but be easy Eddie.
(Eddie): thanks man, see ya around.
Smokehouse leaves as the medical staff comes in and continues to wrap Eddie up, Eddie faces the wall with his arms up while the medical staff finishes his wrapping. He is listening to his iPod and is in the zone when suddenly we see the Medical staff get really nervous and walk out slowly and a hand come over the camera lens. The camera falls we see some feet come in and we hear Eddie scream in pain as what seems to be about 6 feet attacking Eddie, We see Eddie fall bleeding and holding his side and a wrench fall and the men leave the room. Eddie is screaming for Help and is in serious pain coughing up blood. We see the feet of Medical staff running in to help Eddie out as he cries out in pain… The camera quickly cuts back to the commentary team…
(Mike): What the hell? Eddie was just assaulted by someone in the back!
(Eli): He should have listened to the doctors, that is why they’re there. This might be the end of Eddie’s night, did you see the blood he was coughing up?
(Mike): This is ridiculous, Eddie Phoenix has been targeted ever since he signed with CRW! I know that it has to be Gravedigger and Kevin Legacy doing Talon and Dredge’s dirty work!
(Eli): …Eddie isn’t making friends in CRW, it could be anyone Mike.
Friday Night Face Off
Presented by Code Red Wrestling inc
And Under Armour
Live from Bronx, New York
(Earlier in the evening…)
A black limo pulls up into the parking lot outside of Under Armour Arena. The limo stops in front of the employee entrance and the chaffier quickly steps out and opens the door with Lou, Gravedigger, Kevin Legacy, and Michael Dredge getting out, Dredge, Legacy, and Lou are dressed to impress wearing custom suits while Gravedigger is already geared to battle, and Lou is carrying both tag titles as the team make their way into the arena but are stopped short by a large security team. Dredge steps in front of the group with an ill look about him followed with a demeaning tone.
(Michael Dredge): Get out of the way, the world champ is here to take back what was stolen...
(Security Team Leader): Sorry Mr. Dredge but by management’s orders, you are not permitted on the premises. You did know that you were suspended right?
Dredge looks back at his group with a look of disbelief, he washes his concerned look away with a smile as he chuckles…
(Dredge): You’re kidding right?
Dredge looks back at the security…
(Dredge): I figured that was just management trying to blow smoke up my ass... Right?
(Security Team Leader): I'm afraid this isn't a joke sir you are suspended indefinitely.
Dredge suddenly goes to lunge at the man but is pulled back by Legacy.
(Dredge): You piece of dog shit! Who do you think you are?! HUH?! I'm the god damned champion of the world! You can't treat me like this! They need me; I'm the one who brings the money into this place! Tell them Kev! Tell them I'm needed in there!
(Legacy): Chill man we'll get this shit sorted, just let us go in and get on the phone with Talon…
(Dredge): This is an outrage! This can't be really happening! I do what I want, when I want to do it!
The fans explode from inside the arena as Jack Bookman surfaces through the large group of security. He walks right up to Dredge obviously not intimidated by him or his goons.
(Bookman): I'm sorry what were you saying about doing whatever you wanted?
Dredge lunges once more but is yanked back. He reaches out in vein trying to grab Bookman by the throat but is being pulled back this time with the aid of Gravedigger.
(Dredge): You low down piece of shit! You’re the one behind all of it! You had it in for me from day one because you’re stuck up Eddie's ass!
Bookman has a calm confident look letting Dredge's insult roll right off.
(Bookman): Are you finished Mr. Dredge? Are you done or do you want to complain about something else?
Dredge is filled with so much rage he is visibly shaking as Legacy and Digger keep a hand on each shoulder and Lou is beside himself, now off screen yelling on his cell phone trying to speak with Talon, or someone else “on their side”.
(Bookman): You’re suspended Mr. Dredge, the next time you want to lose control and bring your personal problems into business you might just find yourself looking for a new job! World champions don't beat on women and they sure as hell dont find themselves locked behind bars! You crossed the line with what you did and it was followed with repercussions, I hope you learned something from this.
Dredge spits at Bookman as the security team steps up causing a wall between the two.
(Bookman): The great Michael Dredge isn't as untouchable as he thinks, imagine that. Now if you decide to go on a rampage and attack any personnel or damage any property of Code Red's tonight you will be fired. Fired Mike, Do you understand what I'm saying? Maybe if I spell it out for you, you will have a better grasp of what I'm saying F-I-R-E-D! FIRED! As for the rest of you gentlemen once you get control over Code Red's problem child, gear up and be ready to put on one hell of a show tonight… Tonight, this show will be run by the real pros.
Dredge remains silent as he continues to shake. Bookman walks back into the area as Legacy, Gravedigger, and Lou speak with Dredge before grabbing their bags and entering the arena, leaving Dredge outside on his own, literally beside himself…
(A few moments later…)
We see Eddie walking into the arena from another staff/employee entrance as the audience erupts; Eddie stops and looks around as he hears the cheers
(Eddie): Thank you, thank you…
He smiles and keeps walking and runs into Kelly Reyes who has some questions for him.
(Kelly): Hello Eddie can I ask some questions?
Eddie smiles
(Eddie): Well looky here, only if I can ask one…
(Kelly): Ok, Deal, me first. We all saw the promo, Doctor Lawrence is against you wrestling tonight, but through provisions in your contract your able to override any medical diagnosis when pertaining to any of your matches. I mean why wouldn’t you take doctors orders and just sit this one out or Postponed to a later date? They can’t force you to fight if you’re not cleared. Not even Talon has the power to do that, and he isn’t here.
(Eddie): Kelly, Listen… you hear that crowd… (Crowd starts chanting “Eddie Eddie Eddie”) that crowd, the fans, voted me in this match. They didn’t have too… There were a lot of other names to choose from. I got the single most votes of anyone in CRW, and you know why? Because they want to see me perform. They know with me they’re going to get my one hundred million percent. They know with me there is no quit, there is no running away. They voted me in and I owe it to all the CRW fans tog o out there and give them what they asked for because without them, there is no Eddie Phoenix in CRW, there is no Kelly Reyes, there is no Talon Wilkinson there is no Code Red Wrestling. That’s why I have decided to put my compete clause to work.
(Kelly): There are some rumors going around that your injury is more sever than originally thought to be, can you give us anything on that?
(Eddie): Kelly, I don’t make excuses I make opportunities. If Kevin Legacy has what it takes to beat me he deserves a title shot. This isn’t the first go around the playground for me. When my career first started I was a hardcore wrestler. I am no stranger to broken ribs, cracked fibulas, broken noses concussions and burns. No excuses. Plus, what if I sat this out, and someone else stepped in and wiped the floor with Legacy? Where does that put me? That puts me trailing some guy who shouldn’t have even had the chance to begin with and now he stands in the way because of a few boo boos and ouchies. No thank you. I have never backed down from a fight and I most definitely don’t plan on starting now.
Kelly giggles
(Eddie): What’s so funny?
(Kelly): boo boo’s and ouchies
(Eddie): you like that, …Ok Kelly, I got to run, I have some staff waiting for me to wrap my ribs up.
Eddie starts to walk away as Kelly calls out to him
(Kelly): Eddie you never asked me my question…
Eddies tops and looks back with a slight smile.
(Eddie): I had one and I can’t remember now.
(Kelly): Let me help you, …..yes I am Single.
Eddie smiles and nods and puts his hand to his heart then blows her a kiss, then turns and walks away. Kelly is standing there blushing about to catch the kiss as a hand snatches it from the air. Kelly gets serious as the camera pans back and we see Gravedigger as the crowd erupts in boos holding the air kiss in his hand, he throws it to the ground and stomps it as the camera pans to show Lou Manson is in Kelly Reyes face smiling. Gravedigger looks at Kelly and gets really close to her as he slowly smells her hair. The crowd is booing even louder... Gravedigger grunts as he walks out of the scene but Lou is still looking at Kelly. She is clearly nervous, the camera pans back as Lou breaks out in laughter and walks away and we go live to the Production truck…
(Voice over: Talon Wilkinson): THIS is what the edge of your seat was made for…
…The following program is rated TV MA LSV and may contain adult situations, strong language, Sexual Content, and Violence. Viewers Discretion is advised.
…Presented in High Definition were available…
A large fireworks display erupts around the UA-tron as the sold out crowd is on their feet as ‘‘Injection’‘ by Rise Against blasts over the PA system. The fans are rabid as the camera cuts to ring side with the CRW commentary team!
(Mike Conway): Welcome everyone, this is CRW Face Off! We’re live here tonight from New York City, and tonight folks we have a great series of matches as well as all the fallout from November Reign!
(Eli Brooks): That’s right Mikey! We’ve got some great matches tonight, including Angelus Dante Ambrosi’s first Apex Championship defense!
(Mike): November Reign brought major change to the Code Red landscape! Logan Neilson is our new World Champion, A.D.A. is the first Apex Champion, and we also saw an amazing battle between Eddie Phoenix and Talon Wilkinson!
(Eli): Indeed an amazing event, but the biggest news is that Talon Wilkinson is not here tonight and he is giving up some of his control while he is gone, and the other thing is the way the division managers, Vlad, Bookman, and McNeil suspended Michael Dredge indefinitely before he could even have his World title rematch!
(Mike): E, Dredge assaulted and battered his manager Sandra! He was arrested, he was combative, and he also verbally berated the fans at an autograph signing… He’s lucky he is walking around as a free man, let alone working for a company like Code Red Wrestling.
(Eli): This was all a conspiracy, cooked up by Bookman and McNeil to get more control over this company and put their champion on the top… It’s ridiculous and appalling, and I really hope that Talon isn’t gone very long or else this company could be folding fast.
(Mike): We have all night to discuss this issue E, but right now we’re sending it down to our ring announcer Ramon de la Hoya for the introductions of our opening match this week!
Fallen vs. Poe Alexander Covinus
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen the following is our opening contest and it is scheduled for one fall!
"Welcome to the Family" by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play as the arena dims and red lights flash around the arena. On the UA-Tron flashes the words....In every Saint there is a Sinner.... As pictures of Fallen’s masks flash across the screen one by one. Ending finally on his current mask. Then the words....And in every Sinner there is a Saint!.... As the pyros explode, the spotlight stops on Fallen standing on the ramp raising a black bat high into the air. He quickly runs down to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He quickly jumps up and hops to the second turnbuckle raising his bat high. He turns and sits on the top turnbuckle as he adjusts his taped hands and awaits his opponent.
(Announcer): And his opponent… Poe Alexander Covinus!
The fans boo as they await Covinus’ theme and entrance, but before they get anything from the stage, Poe jumps the barricade from the crowd and attacks Fallen from behind! The fans get behind Fallen as he fights him off for a moment…
(Mike): Look at this, in his first match, Poe Covinus is going to try to sneak attack Fallen… Definitely something he learned from Angelus Ambrosi.
(Eli): Mike, come on, I like this “outside of the box” methodology. Sometimes you have to use unconventional methods to win a battle.
Poe and Fallen lock up, and Poe drives Fallen back towards the ropes. Poe grabs Fallen and whips him towards the opposite ropes. Fallen comes off the ropes, and ducks under a clothesline from Poe. He hits the ropes again and leaps into the air as he comes off with a cross body block. Poe catches Fallen in mid air, and holds him there for a second before dropping him down into a rib breaker. Poe holds on and lifts him back into the air and then drops him back down onto his knee with a second rib breaker.
(Eli): Impressive display by Poe so far Mike, attacking those ribs not only wears Fallen down, it makes every breath he takes hurt!
(Mike): Sound strategy there indeed Eli, Covinus is coming out hot.
Poe pulls Fallen back to his feet and hooks up with him and blasts him with a huge snap suplex. He quickly rolls back on top of Fallen for the pin.
1…….2…….kickout.
Poe grabs the arm of Fallen and locks in an arm bar. Poe really yanks down on the arm, and Fallen yells out in pain. Fallen fights his way back to a vertical base and kicks Poe in the gut. A second kick to the gut forces Poe to release the arm bar. Fallen moves right into Poe and forces him back into the ropes. Fallen whips Poe towards the opposite side ropes. He hits the ropes and comes back, and Fallen drops down to the mat and catches Poe with a drop toehold. Fallen quickly grabs the left leg of Poe and locks in an ankle lock in the center of the ring.
(Eli): Poe needs to get to the ropes to break this hold.
(Mike): Fallen has it locked in pretty well, you can tell that Poe hasn’t scouted his opponent well though, he never saw that ankle lock coming!
Poe reaches out towards the bottom rope and just misses it. Fallen tries to pull Poe back away from the ropes, but he reaches out again and grabs onto the bottom rope with one hand. The ref comes in and calls for the break. Fallen quickly lets go, but goes right back on the attack. He yanks Poe away from the ropes and drops down and hooks the leg for the pin, 1………2…………right shoulder up.
Fallen pulls Poe back to his feet from behind. He grabs him by the head and falls back with a reverse DDT. Fallen again quickly goes for the pin, 1……..2………..NO!
Fallen pops right back to his feet and flies to the corner. He quickly climbs to the top just as Poe gets to his feet. He slowly turns around and Fallen leaps off the top rope and connects square with a missile drop kick. Fallen goes for the pin again, 1………2…
Fallen yanks Poe back to his feet and whips him into the corner. He stalks in after him and locks arms with him, pulling him out of the corner. Fallen picks him up, and goes for Ticket Damnation, but Poe manages to roll over and pull Fallen into a pin.
1................2...........No! Fallen just breaks the near fall as Both men are back on their feet. Poe runs at Fallen, and Fallen pushes him on by and off the ropes. Poe comes back, unknown to Fallen, who is turned the other way, and they collide, both men cracking heads and falling to the mat…
(Mike): Wow, both men just went head to head there, the ref has began his 10 count!
(Eli): That was an ugly bump there Mike, this just leveled the playing field though.
(Mike): …wait… wait, whats this?! Come on!
The camera cuts to the ramp as Angelus Dante Ambrosi and Whitman Trent Frost walk down the ramp to the ring.
(Mike): What are they doing out here?
(Eli): I’m sure they just want to cheer their partner on and give him moral support. Frost isn’t going to hurt anyone; he can hardly walk without that cane for God’s sake.
(Mike): C’mon Eli, you know this is more than support…
Frost climbs up onto the ring steps as the ref turns and stops his ten count so that he can order Frost to get off of the steps… Right then, ADA slides under the ropes behind the ref and lifts up Fallen, planting him with the “Hopeless” (Roll of the Dice). ADA grabs Covinus’ arm and drags him over Fallen’s chest and exits the ring with a smile on his face as Frost slowly steps off of the steel steps and watches as the ref turns and sees Covinus with the cover.
(Mike): No, this is just wrong!
The ref counts 1….2….3 and the bell sounds as Ambrosi quickly gets into the ring and helps Covinus to his feet before the group quickly exits the ring…
(Announcer): Here is your winner, Poe Alexander Covinus!
Ambrosi and Frost stand on either side of Covinus as they raise his arms with their own as the fans boo him starkly.
(Eli): No matter how you look at it, Poe Covinus wins his debut match here in CRW!
(Mike): I don’t agree with the way he did it, but he did it… He better thank his buddy Ambrosi though, because I think they were headed for a double count out after that collision… but folks, we are going to send it backstage now for an interview with one of the newest members of the CRW roster…
The camera goes to the backstage arena. Standing there is Jasmine Locklear with a huge smiled on her face. Jasmine looks into the camera as she speaks…
(Jasmine Locklear): “Hello folks, I am Jasmine Locklear, I was standing here in the back and I came across some new talent that will debut soon here at Code Red Wrestling. It seems CRW is forming a small women’s division here to see how it goes and We have just signed on a new female wrestler by the name of Jasmine Lee...”
Jasmine Lee comes into the picture wearing a pair of blue jeans with a black and red hood lowered down. Jasmine smiled towards the camera as she waves towards it a bit.
(Jasmine Lee): “Hello there Code Red Wrestling fans I am Jasmine Lee and I am from right here in Brooklyn, New York!”
The crowd screams as she smiles. Jasmine Locklear laughs a bit as she looked over at her.
(J. Lee): “It great to see that Code Red Wrestling is about to add some Female Wrestlers to the roster. I believe not only will the girls bring some beauty to the roster but also bring some more talent and excitement!... You see there is something the boys here might not think I have which is talent. I know how to go inside of that ring and kick ass. I am ready to do that here in Code Red Wrestling and I believe they are not ready for this chick but they better get ready. Once I start on a roll here I will be unstoppable and there is nothing anyone can do about it.”
That is when Crazy Ivan appears as he walks over to the women. Jasmine Lee looks up at the tall big man who has on pair blue jean and leather jacket. Jasmine Locklear is kind of shocked that he is there as Jasmine Lee places her hands on her well shaped hips. Jasmine Lee doesn’t look scared or impressed one bit. Ivan snatches the microphone from Jasmine Locklear which scare her as she runs off as Jasmine Lee stands her ground…
(Ivan): “You see I find it funny that they are thinking about signing female wrestlers. In my country women are good for one thing. They are good to be in the kitchen making food for their husband. The ring isn’t a female place.”
Jasmine smirks as she gets into his face. He gets back right into her as it seems they are in a stare down … Suddenly out of nowhere she slaps him hard across the face! Ivan does not flinch, but he growls and is ready to attack Jasmine it seems, but Bob Lancaster, Ivan’s manager quickly intervenes.
(Lancaster): Ms. Lee, I suggest you leave before I allow Ivan to break you and send you back to the kitchen!
(Jasmine): Why don’t we settle this next Face Off? I say Ivan vs. Me! I’ll show you how American Girls handle business!
Crazy Ivan shoves Bob Lancaster out of the way and steps back into Jasmine’s face…
(Ivan): …I vill crush you… Good Luck.
Ivan walks away as we go back to the ringside. It seems the announce team is shocked with what just happened…
(Mike): Wow Eli, Ivan gets tough with a girl, and now they may have a match for next week on Face Off…
(Eli): I don’t know who is more stupid, Ivan for challenging, or Jasmine Lee for accepting the challenge… this won’t end well.
(Mike): Interesting indeed, and with CRW Owner Talon Wilkinson being on “hiatus” we don’t even really know who will make that match or veto it. We know Ronnie McNeil, Jack Bookman, and Vlad Romanov have about 50 percent of the decision making powers for Face Off and PPV events, but Talon holds the other 50 some-odd percent alone, and we learned from new Press Manager, Kayden Wright that Talon’s power was being given to someone on staff until he decides to return…
(Eli): I really hope he doesn’t give that power to Jack Bookman… that guy is a weasel.
(Mike): What? Eli, Mr. Bookman is one of the reasons Talon and Dredge aren’t complete Totalitarians right now… you can’t be serious when you say that Jack Bookman isn’t good for CRW.
(Eli): I said what I had to say on the matter… it’s time for our next match.
Grim “The Reaper” Draconis vs. Justice Legal vs. Kama Lama
(Announcer): The following contest is a triple threat match, first coming to the ring… Justice Legal!
"Voices" By Rev Theory hits and the crowd goes wild as a spotlight hits the ramp and strobe lights go off. Justice Legal walks out and points at the fans as an smile cracks on his face. He walks down wearing his ring gear and a t-shirt that reads "Legal Action", he walks down the ramp high fiving his fans and then stops at the bottom of the ramp where he looks from side to side then slides into the ring. He gets on the turnbuckle and poses for the fans once again.
(Eli): You know, I liked Justice Legal during his first stint here in CRW, but this time around he’s a little soft... I’m not a fan.
(Mike): Doesn’t surprise me, you always hate when a guy decides to stop being a douchebag.
(Announcer): And his opponent, Grim “The Reaper” Draconis!
The stage, ramp and ring fill with blood red smoke as "Scream'' by Avenged
Sevenfold hits the arena and Grim Draconis walks out with a towel over his head and the towel has what looks like dried blood all over in Reaper walks towards the ring at a steady pace when he gets to the ring he slides into the ring as he does the ring gets struck by what looks like lightening and the ring post start on fire Reaper stands on the second rope getting close to the flames with his arms crossed he throws the towel off his head and the audience can see that he has blood red eyes he jumps off the ropes and stands with is back against the ropes with his arms still crossed and a sinister smile on his face.
(Announcer): ...and their opponent, Kama Lama!
‘Undead’ by Hollywood Undead hits and Kama comes out to a huge shower of cheers. Kama raises his arm while on the stage and smiles while the fans cheer him on. Kama goes into the ring and climbs up onto the turnbuckle pumping up the fans.
(Mike): This one should be a big factor for who climbs the ladder in challenging Lucas Payne or Diego de la Vega for the Anarchy Championship, all three men are quality challengers in my book.
(Eli): That is a good point, I don’t know who will walk out of tonight as Anarchy champion, but whoever it is, might have one of these guys nipping at their heels right away.
The bell rings and all three men, cautiously, pace around the ring in a clockwise direction. Legal and Lama can be seen jawing back and forth while Grim watches, looking for an opening. He doesn’t have to wait long when Lama says something that has Legal turn on the spot and go for him and they tie up. Lama ducks out and comes behind Legal but before he can do anything Grim whips him round in flattens him with a short arm clothesline. Legal turns but just in time for Grim to rock him with a hard right hand, He looks for a left but Legal is quick to read it, dodging out the way. He takes advantage of the unbalanced Grim and whips him against the rope then ducking for a back drop but Grim leaps over him, rebounding off the ropes again taking Legal down with a chop block. He bounces to his feet quickly but is sent reeling back into the corner when Lama drop kicks him in the chest and before he can fight back Lama runs in and from nowhere hit’s the Light the Fuse(springboard round house). He hooks Grim’s leg looking for the pin as the ref counts 1.…….2.. But Legal breaks it up with an elbow drop.
(Mike): Close call there, Kama had a shot at getting out of here early, but Justice Legal broke it up.
(Eli): Nice moves by both men early on here, what will be interesting is to see how Kama and Legal go at each other, there is no love loss between them.
Legal continues his assault lifting Kama up into an inverted atomic drop. Lama hops away holding his groin as Legal floors him with a big boot to the head. He turns just in time to duck a clothesline by Grim and he catches him with a stiff left hand, throwing Grim over the top and to the outside. Legal turns his focus back onto Kama Lama and picks him up by the hair, they tie up and Legal over powers him, rams a knee into his gut then hits a big swinging DDT. He looks for the cover and ref counts 1.…….2.… But Lama kicks out. Legal doesn’t let up and quickly looks for the submission and manages to lock Lama in the sharpshooter. But the hold doesn’t last long, Grim sliding in the ring with a steal chair, cracks Legal on the back of the head. He looks down at Lama who starts to get up to one knee and mercilessly brings the chair down on the top of his head, busting him open big time. Grim laughs and raises his arms in the air to a shower of boos by the Code Red fans.
(Mike): Grim just “levelled” the playing field here with that steel chair!
(Eli): Well, this is an anarchy division match, which means Anarchy Rules are in play.
(Mike): You are right E, no disqualifications, anything goes here tonight.
Happy with his work, Grim easily lifts Lama up and tosses him over the top and he turns to find Legal already back on his feet. He grabs him and whips him hard into the corner but Legal drops and slides under the ropes and catches his breath, leaving Grim looking pissed in the ring. Legal flips him off before looking for weapons under the ring, much to the delight of the fans. Grim starts to come out of the ring after him, when Legal vanishes under the ring and Grim waits for him, chair in hand... Legal comes out from the other side of the ring, holding a kendo stick and sneaks around the ring and attacks Grim from behind with a flurry of well placed shots to the head and neck area! Legal grabs him back up and bounces his head of the ring post, grabbing his head again and he looks for the Legally Dominate (Spinning Hangman’s Facebuster) but Kama Lama interrupts with spear to Legal’s ribs. Lama, still suffering decides to take a rest by rolling into the ring. Eventually Grim starts to stir and he lifts Legal up and they start to exchange blows when Lama comes diving over the ropes only for Legal to catch him and power slam him through the announcers table! He gets up sluggishly when Grim kicks him in the groin and looks for the twist of fate but before he can execute the move Legal shoves him away and he smashes head first into the ring post again and he stumbles back, this time hitting the Legally Dominate (Spinning Hangman’s Facebuster). Legal turns and rolls Lama into the ring and follows in after him. The bloodied Lama slowly starts to get to his feet, using the ropes, and Legal looks to finish him off as he grabs him up and slams him down with the Justice Hammer (Jackhammer). He looks for the pin and the ref counts 1.………2.…….3!
(Announcer): Here is your winner... Justice Legal!
(Mike): An impressive win for Justice Legal in his return match here on Face Off. Eli, what do you think?
(Eli): It was a tough battle, and for Legal to trump Kama Lama and Grim Draconis here tonight, he showed me a little something, but I still don’t like the kid...
Justice Legal starts to celebrate his victorious return, but is stopped dead in his tracks when Grim cracks him across the back with a chair and then grabs him into the "Ride of the 4 horsemen" (3 Rolling German Suplexes into a torture Crab Submission). He has Legal tapping but he doesn’t care and he continues to wrench back, the referee getting in his face for him to release the hold. Eventually Grim lets go and makes a move for the ref who cowers and he just laughs at him, climbing out of the ring to more boos from the fans as he walks back up the ramp, holding his hand in the air victoriously.
As Justice Legal and Kama Lama each make their way to the back, Kayden Wright comes walking down to the ring with a letter in one hand and the mic in another. Once she gets into the ring the crowd begins to buzz with anticipation of this mysterious announcement…
(Announcer): Please welcome CRW’s Media spokesperson, Kayden Wright!
(Mike): This isn't scheduled, what the hell?
(Eli): Who cares if it isn't or it is, let me just marvel at the sight of this delicate piece of eye candy!
Kayden opens the letter; holding it out with one hand she gets straight to business
(Kayden): Hello fans, I have an announcement from our current 50% majority controller, they have asked me to make this announcement in order to continue to keep their identity hidden to avoid controversy… For the next Face Off a tag team match has been scheduled… The Sons of Anarchy, William and Grim Draconis will face Gravedigger and Kevin Legacy…
The crowd erupts into cheers
(Kayden): The Tag Team Championship will be on the line!
The crowd goes into frenzy.
(Kayden): This will be a standard tag team match…
(Mike): Who made this lineup?
Kayden folds the letter back up.
(Eli): Maybe if you will shut up we will find out!
(Kayden): Thank you very much everyone, I have also been told to inform you that our majority controller will soon make themselves known… so please, enjoy the show and have a great night!
Kayden makes her exit the crowd watches her depart with many confused as to what that was all about.
(Eli): I don't know what that was all about and I really don't care the only thing there is to say about Kayden is WOW! How does the boss do it?!
(Mike): I'm just a little confused here, who's running the tag division? Is it Vlad, Ronnie, and Bookman collectively or is that under Talon's control? I think someone is going to be having to answer up so things are a little clearer; and why in the world did they send Kayden out here with a letter? Why not come out here themselves and make the announcement. Something just isn't right, something’s fishy here...
(Eli): Well it certainly isn't Kayden!
(Mike): What?
(Eli): You just said something’s fishy here.
(Mike): Oh my god Eli just shut up!
William “The Dragon” Draconis vs. “The Predator” Karl Sykes
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is an Apex Division match… First coming to the ring, being accompanied by Grim Draconis, William “The Dragon” Draconis!
“Nautral Born Killer'' by Avenged Sevenfold hits the arena and a video clip of the General Lee jumping. He jumps around gets on his knees at the head of the ramp pointing to him as fireballs shoot off in the air. He jumps up and heads slowly to the ring, where he enters dancing and posing to the crowd. He gets down in an HBK stance, flexing his biceps as pyro shoots off and the fans boo.
(Mike): Now we saw Grim in action just moments ago, and now he’s out here again, this time with his Brother William… The two just found out they have a tag title shot coming their way next Face Off, so I guess they figure they should have a little continuity going on tonight.
(Eli): Smart move, Grim is still learning, and who better to teach him than his big brother William.
(Announcer): And his opponent… “The Predator” Karl Sykes!
“Where the Spirit Leads Me" by Times of Grace plays as Karl Sykes walks out on to the stage carrying a bottle of water. He looks into the crowd as he receives a mixed reaction before slowly but confidently walking down to the ring. Once in the ring he takes a long drink from his bottle and throws the half empty bottle into the crowd, showering most of the front row, he smirks as his music fades out.
(Mike): What do you think of Karl Sykes Eli?
(Eli): I really like the kid, he’s got a lot of strong qualities, and even though I think he should be a little less “nice” to people, he is a very talented wrestler.
(Mike): He’s also good friends with our own Jasmine Locklear.
(Eli): Yes, that is also true, and anyone who can tame that biscuit, is ok in my book.
Mike looks at Eli with a disgusted look on his face…
The bell rings and Sykes immediately runs at Draconis and flies through the air taking him down with a sudden and shocking Yakuza kick! Draconis rolls form the ring holding his head as Grim jumps up on the apron protesting. Sykes wastes no time in pursuing The Dragon outside of the ring. Grim hops down and gets between Dragon and Sykes, but Karl quickly jumps and hits a bicycle kick that drops Grim to the floor as well! Dragon slides back into the ring and Sykes gives chase, but when he slides in, he is met with a barrage of stomps from The Dragon.
(Eli): Shoulda seen that coming… I don’t get how guys still fall into that trap. Oldest trick in the book…
(Mike): Sykes has come out with some intensity though Eli, He told me earlier today that he was going to make a statement to the Apex division and Mr. Bookman… Karl believes he is ready for a Apex title shot, and he wants to prove it.
(Eli): Well he’s gotta stop running into boots if he wants to do that.
Draconis lifts Sykes up, but Karl quickly breaks the grasp and hits the ropes. Draconis ducks under Sykes’ clothesline attempt, and catches Karl with a jumping knee that staggers him back into the corner. Draconis runs at him and drives a hip into his midsection and then grabs Karl’s head and runs with a bulldog. The fans boo as The Dragon covers Sykes.
…1!
…2!
… Kickout!
Draconis lifts Sykes up, quickly driving a sharp knee into his gut and sets him up in a powerbomb position! He lifts him up into the Crucifix powerbomb position, but before he can execute the “Dragon Knockout” Sykes gets free. Dragon quickly grabs Sykes’ arm and whips him hard into the ropes, as Sykes rebounds, he ducks a running boot from Draconis. He hits the far side ropes, but Grim grabs his foot causing him to stumble right into Dragon who nearly decapitates him with a “Bloodline” (Clothesline from Hell). Dragon covers Sykes again and the ref gets into position.
…1!
…2!
…kickout!
(Eli): What a clothesline!!!
(Mike): Impressive power indeed, but Karl got tripped!
(Eli): Not my fault he’s a clumsy guy.
(Mike): C’mon Eli, you saw it… Grim tripped him.
(Eli): …did the ref see it? Then it didn’t happen.
Dragon lifts Karl up once again but Karl fights back with desperation shots to keep the big man back and off of him. Dragon backs up just a step, but that’s all Sykes needs; he darts across the ring and quickly rebounds, jumping and connecting with the “Killshot” (Busaiku knee Attack)! Draconis is out of it, but before Sykes can get the cover, Grim again inserts himself into the match by climbing into the ring! The ref is ordering him out, missing Sykes pin fall. After a few seconds Karl gets up and sees what is going on. He gets up and grabs the ref, turning him around, and when he does, Grim kicks him in the groin! The ref doesn’t see it, and Grim exits the ring with a smile on his face. Draconis begins to stir as Karl is leaning on the ropes trying to recover from the low blow.
Dragon gets back to his feet and shakes off the effects of the knee to the face he received just moments before, he approaches Skyes and grabs him by the throat, lifting him up off of his feet and chokeslams him to the mat, he hooks the far leg and the ref gets into position.
…1
…2
…Kickout!
The fans pop for the kickout, but They begin to boo as Draconis raises his left hand, calling for what could possibly be the end of the match. The Dragon lifts Karl up to his feet and hooks him for a vertical suplex. Karl kicks his feet as he is vertical, using his momentum to fall down behind Draconis, countering the suplex and leaping, grabbing the back of his head and dropping him with a neck snapping “Syked Out” (Zig Zag)!!!
The fans are shocked as Sykes covers him as the ref counts…
…1!
…2!
…3!
(Announcer): Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, Karl Sykes!
Karl quickly rolls from the ring as Grim slides in a moment too late. The fans are on their feet as Sykes stands on the entrance ramp with a big smile on his face, seemingly pleased with his victory.
(Mike): Sykes wins! He hit that “Syked Out” out of nowhere!
(Eli): That was damned impressive; he virtually won a handicap match, so I really have to tip my cap to Karl here tonight.
(Mike): A “statement” win here tonight for Karl Sykes, and on the flip side of the coin, where does this leave William Draconis and his brother Grim? They have a tag title shot next week, and now they have both dropped their matches tonight.
(Eli): I think the Sons of Anarchy will be fine, but they won’t want to let this night linger in the minds going forward.
(Mike): Well E, I’m getting word that we have a special interview set up backstage so we are going to send it back to Kelly Reyes right now... Kelly.
The camera cuts to backstage were Kelly is standing with the CRW World Heavyweight Champion Logan Neilson.
(Kelly): Hello everyone, Mike, Eli... I’m here with Logan Neilson, CRW Champion and the man who along with Eddie Phoenix, seemingly has ended Talon Wilkinson and Michael Dredge’s reign of terror on the CRW... Now Logan, after Dredge’s suspension, you were booked to face Gravedigger tonight, how do you feel about your match up with him?
(Logan): Aye, well thanks for havin mae Kelly, Always a pleasure. Now for Digger I’ve got tae say, it won’t be as easy a loss as last time you had a world title shot... in case yae dinnae remember, that big bastard went and laid down for Dredge tae pin his arse after he beat him tae pish. I’m nae here tae be a chest beater or a blow hard, so I’m ginnae keep this short and sweet so people can go back to wrestling.
Logan pauses and looks into the camera.
(Logan): Gravedigger, Lou, Legacy, Dredge... I dinnae care who taefook I face in the ring, I’m going to give mae all and do mae best to come out as the winner. I worked hard for this championship, worked all my life... and now I am here, I’m not going to be easy to supplant. This belt, this company... they mean something to me, and I am going to do mae best to do it proud.
Kelly smiles and looks at the camera.
(Kelly): Well there you have it folks, we’ll be looking forward to tonight’s main event, now Eli... Mike... back to you.
Kelly and Logan shake hands as the camera cuts back to ringside.
Anarchy Championship Match: Diego de la Vega vs. “The Sandman” Lucas Payne
(Announcer): The following contest is for the Anarchy Championship! First coming to the ring, the challenger... Diego de la Vega!
The fans come to their feet as "El Rey" by Vicente Fernandez plays and Diego De La Vega enters the arena with a lot of energy. He raises his left arm while slapping his chest twice with his right arm. As he walks down the ramp he exchanges high fives with people along the side reaching out to grab him. He climbs the ring steps and slingshots himself into the ring from the apron. In the ring he raises both arms and points to the heavens while bowing his head, saying a small prayer and waits for his opponent.
(Mike): Diego de la Vega has won these fans over in quick fashion. He has a huge following already, he’s taken the CRW by storm, but so has his counter part tonight, Lucas Payne. Lucas may not have a huge fan base, but his success is unquestionable, and his strength and brutality aren’t attributes you can easily over look.
(Eli): Especially in this division, the Anarchy division thrives on brutality and raw power. Diego may have run into a wall tonight, this matchup doesn’t favour him all to well.
(Announcer): And his opponent... He is the CRW Anarchy Champion, “The Sandman”... Lucas Payne!
The lights go out and an evil laugh is heard echoing throughout the arena. The arena then begins to glow with red lights as ‘Bloodline’ by Slayer plays through the PA system. Smoke billows out from the entryway, covering the ramp, and after a few moments Lucas Payne comes stomping out through the cloud of smoke and makes his way to the ring. He climbs in over the top rope, and pounds his chest with his fists before raising both arms in the air and growling at the crowd. He then lowers his arms and stares towards Diego as he hands the ref the Anarchy Championship.
As usual with an Anarchy Championship match the ringside area is peppered with weapons. As soon as the bell rings both men waste no time, Payne uses his sheer aggression and bursts towards De La Vega but the speedy Luchador ducks and dances behind Payne delivering a swift kick to the back of Payne’s thigh for good measure. He changes his stance as Payne charges at him once more and Diego looks for a quick arm drag but Payne stands firm. He grabs Diego towards him and whips him hard into the turnbuckle causing him to bounce out again only to be floored by a powerful clothesline. The champ picks him up by the mask and chops him hard across the chest. He pulls Diego back towards him and chops him again, the fans WOO-ing. He pulls him towards him a third time and grabs him around the waste and hurls him over with a rough belly-to-belly suplex. Wasting no time Payne gets out of the ring and slides a table inside. Diego starts to stir as Payne picks up a chair on the outside and to the delight of the CRW fans, sets up a second table outside the ring. Diego is back to his feet and he runs to the ropes but Payne detects his movement and turns, swinging the chair hitting nothing but fresh air as Diego reads his counter, back flipping in the top rope and back into the ring. Payne looks a bit confused and Diego runs up the turnbuckle, this time launching himself with a cross body onto Lucas on the outside.
(Mike): Whoa, some impressive things going on here so far tonight! This one is living up to its billing!
(Eli): Diego is keeping up in this one, but The champion still has the advantage of power.
Diego is first to his feet, although at little unsteady and he manages to pick the chair that Payne dropped. He turns and gets ready as Payne gets slowly to his feet only to be dropped again by a hard chair shot to the head. Diego lifts him up and rolls him back into the ring, following in himself and setting up the table. He lifts Payne up again who starts to fight back and he whips Diego against the ropes who leaps onto the second rope, and spring boards back looking for a Moonsault but Payne catches him midair and slams him through the table. He looks for the pin and the ref counts 1.………2.…. But Diego kicks out. Payne looks at him in disgust, snatching back up to his feet by his mask, Payne walks him over to the ropes and lifts him to toss him through the next table. But Diego fights back and manages to escape and lands on the apron behind Payne he lands a hard punch to the small of Payne’s back, gets his feet on the bottom rope for leverage and reaches over the top rope, grabbing him by the waist and somehow lifting him up and over, and through the table with a massive Rolling German Suplex - "Dos Lagrimas" (High Impact). He looks for the pin and the ref gets into position and counts 1.……….2.…… NO! Payne kicks out at the last millisecond.
(Mike): I thought Diego had him there!
(Eli): If it were a smaller man, Diego would be champion right now, but that size difference, changes the pinfall and the difficulty to kick out so much. Lucas is just too big and too strong!
The crowd starst a ‘Go Diego Go! Go Diego Go!’ chant as both men start to stir on the floor with Diego, using the ring steps to get to his feet, Payne still on one knee, holding onto the railings. Diego sees his chance to put him down and shakes off the cob webs to sprint along the apron and launch himself into the air, but Payne manages to dive out of the way and Diego crashes into the railing and into the first row causing soda and other snacks to fly everywhere as the fans scatter to safety. Payne grins as he watches the carnage, lifting up a cast iron frying pan from a trash can of weapons. Diego sprawls over the railing into fans area and gets to his feet just as Payne brings the pan down on his skull with a massive ‘Clunk!’ Diego lies, almost unconscious across the front row of chairs and Payne grabs him and hoists him back over to ring side with a vertical suplex. Diego lies motionless some blood trickling from somewhere under his mask, Payne grabs him up once more, rolling him inside the ring and follows in taking a steel chair with him. Payne opens out the chair and lifting Diego up he looks to hit the Dark Slumber (Tiger Driver) onto the chair when Diego flips out of the move into a shocking sunset flip pinfall the fans are frantic as the ref counts 1.…….2.…….kickout!!!
The fans are stunned, all believing the match is over, but suddenly the stun turns into horror as Lucas quickly gets to his feet and drives a big boot into Diego’s face. Diego is still very weak as Lucas lifts him up over his head into a military press and tosses him into the air, sending him crashing down face first into the open steel chair! He covers him as he smiles sadistically and the ref gets into position... counting 1....2.....3!
The bell rings as Lucas stands up slowly and continues his sick smile.
(Mike): Lucas Payne picks up a win, retaining the championship, but the story right now might be how Diego de la Vega is doing after that nasty impact there.
(Eli): He had his chances and looked great in the ring, but the power was his downfall. That was a vicious move from Lucas Payne, but the Sandman promised to put him to sleep tonight.
Lucas Payne leaves the ring with his Anarchy championship as the referee helps Diego up to his feet. The fans give Diego a large ovation as he slowly staggers across the ring, a good amount of blood seeping through his mask as he tries to get his feet under him to exit the ring. The fans continue their “Go Diego Go” Chant as he waves to them on his way up the ramp.
(Mike): Its good to see Diego walk out of here tonight, that was a rough shot he took there... Now shifting gears a little bit Eli, lets go backstage...
The camera cuts to the back to find Eddie nearly completely wrapped in tape as the medical staff went to get more tape… The camera pans to see Smokehouse Jones sitting across from him.
(Eddie): Smokehouse, thanks for staying put. And thanks for picking me from the hospital.
(Smokehouse): No problem man. Any friend of Merlyn’s is a friend of mine, Plus Jack talks highly of you.
(Eddie): Well thanks again man, how is Merlyn, heard from him?
(Smokehouse): All I know is that he told me he needed some times to fix some things in his life. I have called him, but no one picks up, I know he was saying something about a trip. But I haven’t heard from him in about three days.
(Eddie): Crazy guy, if he could keep his head in the game he would make some noise. Maybe leaving and clearing things up will help him get his focus back.
Smokehouse Phone goes off and he answers it…
(Smokehouse): Hello, Ok, Jack wants to see me… no problem I’ll be there…(HANGS UP) hey listen, Jack needs me, I’m gonna head out, but be easy Eddie.
(Eddie): thanks man, see ya around.
Smokehouse leaves as the medical staff comes in and continues to wrap Eddie up, Eddie faces the wall with his arms up while the medical staff finishes his wrapping. He is listening to his iPod and is in the zone when suddenly we see the Medical staff get really nervous and walk out slowly and a hand come over the camera lens. The camera falls we see some feet come in and we hear Eddie scream in pain as what seems to be about 6 feet attacking Eddie, We see Eddie fall bleeding and holding his side and a wrench fall and the men leave the room. Eddie is screaming for Help and is in serious pain coughing up blood. We see the feet of Medical staff running in to help Eddie out as he cries out in pain… The camera quickly cuts back to the commentary team…
(Mike): What the hell? Eddie was just assaulted by someone in the back!
(Eli): He should have listened to the doctors, that is why they’re there. This might be the end of Eddie’s night, did you see the blood he was coughing up?
(Mike): This is ridiculous, Eddie Phoenix has been targeted ever since he signed with CRW! I know that it has to be Gravedigger and Kevin Legacy doing Talon and Dredge’s dirty work!
(Eli): …Eddie isn’t making friends in CRW, it could be anyone Mike.
