Seattle Pro Wrestling Presents


WRATH
SATURDAY - 02/10/2018
UNITED CENTER - HOUSTON, TEXAS

FUSION 3: WRATH IS LIVE FROM HOUSTON, TEXAS INSIDE THE TOYOTA CENTER. HOME OF THE HOUSTON ROCKETS!

“The Vengeful One” by Disturbed boom through the arena PA system, signaling the arrival of the newly crowned Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion, Bryan Blaze.

As the lights slowly rise back on, Blaze is seen at the top of the ramp in a white suit with a blood stained pattern on it, similar to the one displayed on his face mask. With the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship slung over his right shoulder he makes his way down the ramp.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Looks like we are kicking off FUSION 3 with an appearance from our newly crowned Champion, Bryan Blaze!

CHARLES HUDSON: Bryan Blaze went through an absolute war with Billy Danielson at MAINSTREAM 7: GREED. He showed us all the heart and determination he always claimed he had. He showed us what he was willing to do to finally best Billy Danielson.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Agreed, Charles. That rivalry will be remembered for some time in Seattle Pro Wrestling. It visibly changed both men, especially Bryan Blaze.

CHARLES HUDSON: Without a doubt, McKayla. Nothing was more evident of that than the conclusion of GREED when we saw Alan Envy and Jacob Hammerstein viciously assaulted a defenceless Billy Danielson as Bryan Blaze simply laughed and exited. Bryan Blaze truly is a different man.

Blaze reaches the ringside area and quickly rolls into the ring. As he stands back up and adjusts his Championship gold over his shoulder once again, he asks and receives a microphone from Graham Stevens, who then exits the ring. Blaze stands in the center of the ring as the crowd in attendance serenades him with a “Blaze is gonna killlll you” chant. He doesn't seem affected it all, though. He looks dead center ahead. Slowly, he raises the microphone up to his mouth.

BRYAN BLAZE: Perception.

He pauses, keeping that intense facial expression.

BRYAN BLAZE: It’s a powerful force, isn't it. It can make anything believable, or anything impossible. It is a force that I have battled with since my very first appearance in a professional wrestling ring. I've even dealt with it since my arrival here in Seattle Pro.

“Many believe that I am perhaps not the rightful heir to the throne. That I am inadequate. It's a story as old as time itself. This does not faze me as YOUR Heavyweight Champion.”

“Because this is merely PERCEPTION. It is in a separate REALM than REALITY. For, at MAINSTREAM 7: GREED, I finally absolved my SOUL of the DEMON which inhibited it for over a year, almost two. I slayed the perennial Main-Eventer. Billy Danielson.”

“Do any of you know why? It isn't merely because I incapacitated my foe to the point where he was unable to answer the 10-count. No, that was merely a SYMPTOM of the real truth.”

Again, he pauses. He looks out of the corner of his eye at the Championship belt draped over his right shoulder.

BRYAN BLAZE: The REALITY of the situation is this. I didn't win this belt because I am superior to Billy Danielson or anyone else, for that matter. I am the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion for one very simple; very CRUCIAL reason.

“I am willing to DIE for it. Can anyone else in that locker room admit to the same?”

“I guess we will find out, in due time.”

“The Vengeful One” by Disturbed booms through the PA system and Blaze promptly rolls out of the ring and heads up the ramp.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: A chilling, ominous warning from out Heavyweight Champion.

CHARLES HUDSON: We are in for a bumpy ride, McKayla...

[Robert Daniels]

“Symphony of Destruction” by Megadeth begins to play throughout the Toyota Center with the lights switching off as as soon as the guitar rift kicks in, the spotlights goes around the audience and the stage lights illuminate as Chris Crippler steps out from behind the curtain.

GRAHAM STEVENS: The following match is for ONE FALL! Introducing first from Colchester, Essex. England. He stands at five feet and eleven inches tall. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty six pounds...CHRIS—CRIPPLER!

He casually strolls down the aisle way, ignoring the fans ringside and slides into the ring. He stands in the center and gazes out at the crowd in attendance with a look of disgust.

"A'right, stop, stop, hold on, hold on, hold on--"

Suddenly, A.J. Morales's personal remix of "Champion" by Falling in Reverse hits the PA, cutting off the challenger's music. As the lights near the entrance ramp turn gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines and A.J. Morales’s personal highlight reel starts to play on the XtremeTron. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, holding the XWA Hardcore Championship belt like a guitar, headbanging and strumming along with every note as he approaches the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: From San Francisco, California, weighing in at one hundred and eighty seven pounds. He is the XWA Hardcore Champion and one half of the BGDF Yin Yang Champions. The Revolution...A.J.—MORALES!

The instrumentation suddenly comes to a stop, and A.J. does too, leaning forward and bringing his arms close in.

”Ohhhh…”

The music suddenly comes to a stop, aside from a distant-sounding voice, and A.J. stops too, leaning forward and bringing his arms close in.

”YAAAAAAAAUGH!”

With a primal scream, the instruments kick back in, two columns of fire go up on either side of the stage, and A.J. brings his arms wide and screams to the sky. As the scream in the song ends, so too do the flames, and A.J. quickly puts the XWA Hardcore Championship back on around his waist, where it hangs over his half of the BGDF Yin Yang Championships. Then, he starts to make his way down to the ring, giving out high-fives and fist bumps to those who reach out for them.

”(WHOOOOOOOA-OH!) I rise above it all and I’m not coming down…

(WHOOOOOOOA-OH!) Because a champion is what they call me!”

A.J. reaches the end of the ramp and climbs onto the apron, steadying himself.

”(OHHHHHH!) I rise above it all and I’m not coming down”

As the song launches into its chorus, A.J. vaults over the top rope with a somersault before popping up with a clenched fist salute, turning a full 360 degrees so everyone in the audience gets to see him head on.

”(WHOOOOOOOA-OH!) Because a champion is what they call me now”

Then, he quickly climbs the nearest turnbuckle and undoes the loosely-tied title belt he’s about to defend. Finding the nearest SkyCam, he looks right down the lens as he holds up the championship in one hand.

”And I’m not backing down (HEY, HEY, HEY!)

I will stand my ground (HEY, HEY, HEY!)”

A.J. starts mouthing along with the music, punctuating both lines by looking to the crowd and pumping his fist in time with the "hey"s, before jumping back down to the canvas and shifting his gaze to the hardcam.

”(WHOOOOOOOA-OH!) Because a champion is what they call me

A champion is what they call me noooooow, huh!”

A.J. keeps lip-syncing and looking right at the camera, and once the song moves on to a verse, A.J. sets his belts aside in his corner before squaring up, ready to fight.

SINGLES MATCH
Chris Crippler vs A.J. Morales

The bell rings and AJ Morales wastes no time as he attempts to kick Chris Crippler in the sternum but Chris grabs hold of AJ’s foot, sweeping the standing leg out from underneath Morales, Chris locks the Lexington Road Shooter in the center of the ring with pain etched across the face of AJ as he reaches out in desperation towards the ropes.

CHARLES HUDSON: We’re in for a superb night of professional wrestling.

Crippler pulls him but A.J. twists around for a European uppercut, which catches Chris right upside the head and sends him stumbling back. The next two have a similar effect, each one keeping Chris staggered a little longer than the last. Crippler gets a little extra time to recover while A.J. squares up with a boxing stance, but two jabs later, anything that might have been gained from that time is lost.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: In the Pinnacle Battle Royal you’ll remember seeing AJ Morales working very well together with Christina Idol after she entered and her Tag team partner Eli Buchanan had already been eliminated.



Morales throws a right hook to Crippler’s jaw with enough force to make his opponent turn around, and Morales quickly wraps both arms around Crippler’s stomach to drag him overhead and slam him down for a German Suplex but Chris Crippler rolls through.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He’s down but he’s not out!

CHARLES HUDSON: It’s remarkable...



A.J. Morales looks on stunned and takes a kickboxing stance and throws Chris off his balance with a shoot kick to the thigh. Another shoot kick to the same spot, and Chris’s knee buckles, bringing him down to one knee. After a quick stance-switch, taking Morales from kickboxing to Muay Thai, the Revolution’s right leg comes around for a roundhouse kick to the side of Crippler’s face. Morales follows through until his foot touches the floor again, then swiftly brings it back around for an unkind rewind of the previous kick. The result is pretty much exactly the same, except this time Chris takes it on the other cheek, and he leans far enough to one side that he has to drop to both knees and push himself back upright with one hand.

CHARLES HUDSON: Chris Crippler is tough as nails.

A.J. changes his stance one last time, this time going to taekwondo, and with Chris still recovering, A.J. has all the time in the world to bring his left leg high into the air, then send it straight down on top of Chris’s head with an axe kick that finally leaves the British Legend face-down on the floor.


MCKAYLA LEWIS: Morales is one of the most exciting wrestlers in the world.

CHARLES HUDSON: Chris Crippler is battle tested.

AJ Morales and Chris Crippler slowly get up to their feet with both moving groggily, AJ Morales gets up first to see the aging Chris Crippler bent over, AJ rushes over looking for the liberator but Chris sidesteps the powerful punch and manages to hit the Lexington-Plex in retaliation but A.J. rushes in and launches into the air, half-turning, left leg out, and catches Crippler right on the throat with a leg lariat before effectively riding it all the way back down to earth.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That had to hurt!



With his opponent struggling to breathe on the mat, A.J. takes the opportunity to drag Chris over to the nearest corner before climbing up to the top rope. As he faces out to the crowd and steadies himself, the Revolution raises a clenched-fist salute, drawing cheers and even getting a few people to raise their fists in return. Once he’s ready, he launches into the air with his Lantern’s Flight moonsault, which lands right on top of the British Legend and hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Crippler kicked out with authority!

Chris Crippler stands over the fallen AJ Morales with a wry smirk on his face before leaning down to lift him back to his feet, hocking AJ’s arms in the underhook position and stares out at the audience in attendance as they let their feelings be known, Crippler shakes his head disapprovingly before executing a double underhooked facebuster on AJ. Chris tilts his head looking down at his fallen foe before covering him for 1...2...KICKOUT!



Realizing how close they both are to one of the corners of the ring, Chris gets an idea. He grabs an arm and a leg of A.J.’s, using them both to drag the young star closer to the corner. Once Chris thinks he has A.J. in the right spot, Chris turns around and starts climbing the ropes.



MCKAYLA LEWIS: Aerial maneuvers aren’t exactly in Chris Crippler’s usual wheelhouse, but we could be about to see him do just that.



CHARLES HUDSON: I love the statement behind this. Chris Crippler’s a legend of the classic territory days style, and he’s up against a guy who emphasizes all the high-flying, martial-arts-striking moves all the young guns love to use. Landing this is gonna be all about the insult, however much injury it actually causes.



Crippler finds a nice, comfortable spot on the middle rope, facing A.J. as the younger competitor starts climbing to his feet. The British Legend clasps his hands together with a smug smile and flexes for the crowd a couple times, like he’s already won and he’s celebrating his victory, then jumps down to try and clobber A.J. with a double axe handl—NO! A.J. kicks Chris square on the jaw, stunning Crippler in midair and causing him to unclasp his hands and land spread-eagled on the canvas.


CHARLES HUDSON: Lou, it’s just a superkick. It’s a nice counter, but it’s not THAT metal…



MCKAYLA LEWIS: No, no, that’s what A.J. calls that move now. He finally gave it a name.


CHARLES HUDSON: Ohhh. Got it.



A.J. looks down at Chris and laughs to himself. So this guy wants to try and go new-school? That’s perfectly fine with A.J. But as he pulls the elder fighter to his feet and slots Crippler back into that same corner, Morales only has one plan, and that’s to go old-school.


MCKAYLA LEWIS: Chris unloads several European Uppercuts onto Morales.

He forces his opponent back into the corner, Crippler kicks AJ in the abdomen and hits a cradle piledriver, Chris grabs hold of the middle rope to help him up because sitting himself up onto the top turnbuckle and hitting a pointed elbow drop.

CHARLES HUDSON: With timely accuracy that worked out to perfection.

A.J. goes spinning around for a full circle and change before Chris finally lets go and flings A.J. towards the ropes, but when A.J. rebounds, Chris sidesteps him and half-turns to he can catch his opponent on the way back from the next rebound.



CHARLES HUDSON: Whether on purpose or just on instinct Morales dives lower than Crippler with the 94 Blitz spear but Chris Crippler sidesteps and steps softly to the other side of the ring.

AJ Morales rushes across the ring and bounces against the ropes, Crippler spins around to see AJ running towards him looking for the Avalanche spinning heel kick, Crippler quickly sidesteps the heel but only just and as AJ hits the canvas Chris picks his opponent up and hits the Crippler DDT. Slowly rolling AJ over onto his back and gripping onto his knee pad to hook the leg for 1...2...NEARFALL!

Chris steps over to the corner turnbuckle and begins to look in the padded pad and pulls out two brass knuckles, concealing one in his trunks but holds the other one up for everyone to see, the referee catches Chris holding the brass knuckles and reprimands the British veteran. Chris throws the knuckles across the ring as the referee faces the other way to pick them up, Chris quickly pulls the concealed knuckles and places them on his hand, AJ Morales is back to his feet but facing the other way and as he turns around and ducks a right hand by Crippler wearing the knucks. Morales is backing away from his opponent, his right hand balled up in a fist. A.J.’s eyes dart back and forth; he looks at his fist, then at Crippler, then the fist, then Crippler, until finally, A.J. gets to the corner and kisses his ring knuckle, right on the Green Lantern symbol on his glove.

Chris gets up, clearly exhausted, and A.J. charges out of the corner. Before the British Legend can even put his hands up to defend himself, A.J. leaps into the air and—POW!—hits Crippler right in the mouth with a leaping Superman punch.



MCKAYLA LEWIS: He calls it the LIBERATOR!



Crippler’s arms fly out in front of him in a fencing motion as he falls backwards onto the canvas, and A.J. quickly hooks a leg for 1...2...3!

CHARLES HUDSON: This one’s over!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner...A.J.—MORALES!

He rolls over excited and has his arm raised by the official. Morales points to the brass knucks still on the hand of Crippler and the official makes a double take not realizing there were two sets. Morales stands on the middle turnbuckle in the corner celebrating before exiting the ring.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: What a way to kick off the show!

CHARLES HUDSON: That was amazing. If they do this again...take my money...because I want to see these guys fight forever.

Chris Crippler is arguing with the official claiming he was cheated while Morales smiles on the ramp.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That’s only the first match. We’re going to take a commercial break and we’ll be back with more Seattle Pro Wrestling!

[Robert Daniels]

“Me Too” by Meghan Trainer begins to play throughout the arena. Shortly after the first verse, Valentina Lovelace comes out. Her bubbly personality comes out as she dances on the stage. She fluffs her hair, and blows a kiss to the crowd. She skips down the aisle, hi-fiving fans and taking pictures with them.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Introducing first, making her Seattle Pro Wrestling debut from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Standing at five feet and three inches tall...VALENTINA—LOVELACE!

She struts around the corner, and runs onto the apron, sliding across it. She flips her hair, blowing one more kiss to the crowd. She lays across the middle rope, wrapping her legs around the top rope so that she wouldn’t fall. She stays there as she waits for her music to stop and her opponent to make their entrance.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: She’s often referred to as the ‘Puerto Rican Princess’.

CHARLES HUDSON: I can see why. She’s a knockout!

“Rooster” by Alice in Chains begins to play as the lights dim throughout the Toyota Center. A single orange spotlight fades in on the entrance. Jan van der Roost slowly walks out, a pair of orange gloves in one hand, a towel around his neck. He looks towards the ring, then walks ahead, with his head down. He stops, looks at his opponent, then heads to the steps.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing residing from Detroit Michigan. Weighing in at two hundred and three pounds and standing at five feet and eleven inches tall...JAN...VAN—DER...ROOST!

He slowly climbs the steps then stops at the corner. van der Roost places the towel on the turnbuckle, wipes his feet on the apron and climbs through the ropes. He looks up towards the orange spotlight then puts the left glove on. The arena lights come up and he tosses the right glove into the crowd or places it below his towel.

SINGLES MATCH
Valentina Lovelace vs Jan van der Roost

The ref calls for the bell and it rings. Valentina starts to rush towards Jan but he drops to the mat and rolls to the outside. Valentina looks confused as Jan slowly walks around the outside. The ref steps in between Valentina and the ropes as Jan motions for her to back away. Valentina steps back and Jan climbs up onto the apron. Valentina rushes at him and Jan hops off. The crowd is mixed as the ref steps in between Valentina and the ropes once again. Valentina steps back again as Jan climbs up onto the apron. Valentina rushes at Jan, who hits a shoulder block into her stomach through the ropes.

CHARLES HUDSON: Veteran move by the Rooster

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Valentina is not only new to Seattle Pro but she’s a rookie. She is making her debut match but who better for her to learn from than Jan van der Roost!

Jan climbs through the ropes and locks in a headlock on Valentina. He grinds his arm into the side of her head as she pushes him to the ropes. She tries to shove Jan to the far ropes but he holds on tight. She punches him in the ribs once then twice then tries for an irish whip. Jan reverses it and whips Valentina into the far ropes. He swings wildly with a clothesline but she ducks. Valentina comes back off the near ropes and catches Jan with a hurricanrana, sending him to the mat. He gets up, as she kicks him with a dropkick, sending him into the corner! Valentina jumps onto him, and flips him with a monkey flip with a pin for 1…2…KICKOUT.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I saw some major hang time there with the flip!

CHARLES HUDSON: Valentina Lovelace has the best of both worlds beauty and a never say die spirit!

The two get back to their feet and Jan drops her to the mat with a quick clothesline. He falls to a knee, holding the back of his neck as she lies on the mat. He stands up and drops an elbow to the chest. He gets back up to his feet and pulls Valentina to her feet. Jan whips Valentina into the ropes, setting for a backdrop. She rebounds off, and leapfrogs over him, hitting the ropes again. She spins around, and hits him in the face with her butt! The crowd goes crazy, as she does a standing corkscrew moonsault and hooks the leg for 1…2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: She nearly had him right there! My what a debut performance.

Valentina gets to her feet and plays to the crowd. She looks out as Jan slowly opens his eyes. She runs around the ring, getting momentum for something big, but Jan kips up, surprising her. Jan intercepts her, taking her down with an arm drag. He holds onto her arm, trapping the rookie wrestler in a hammerlock. She screams for a moment, but then cartwheels out of it, breaking loose of his grip. She hits the ropes, and lands a Handspring Pele Kick on the Rooster, who goes down! Both of them get back to their feet but Jan has his back to Valentina.

CHARLES HUDSON: I am echoing your sentiments Lou but one has to believe that soon Roost is going to flip the switch and turn the tide.

Valentina dropkicks Jan van der Roost in the back, and he stumbles forward, falling and leaning onto the middle rope. She runs up looking for a tiger feint kick, but Jan catches her. He shoves her legs back around, leaving her on the apron. He goes to strike her, but she ducks it, and then counters with a rope assisted enziguri. He stumbles back, and she springboards off the ropes, landing on top of Jan with a tornillo!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: She’s looking like a million bucks here tonight. We may be looking at an upset here tonight.

CHARLES HUDSON: Professor Lou has called it fans that we are now on ‘Upset Alert’.

Valentina kips up as Jan crawls towards the far ropes. She stalks after him as he rolls to his backside, scooting away from her. She reaches towards him, but he grabs her waist and pulls her over his shoulders and into the second turnbuckle face first. Jan gets to his feet as Valentina lays against the second turnbuckle. He methodically pulls her up to her feet, turning her around to face him. He chops her twice really hard, and then pauses, as he tell everyone to hush. Before Jan can finish his triple chop, Lovelace pushes him away with both feet. He runs at her, looking for a splash, but she slides through the ropes, and The Rooster hits the turnbuckles hard, chest first. He circles around, trying to catch his bearings, as she gets to the top rope, and hits the 787 Dragonrana in a pin but he rolls through it and turns into a van der Lock Single Leg Crab. She scrambles quickly and reaches the ropes, breaking the hold.

CHARLES HUDSON: What do you do when your go to moves are failing you? He’s going to have to reach deeper into that bag of tricks.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Jan van der Roost is more than just the husband of former Endurance Champion, Sasha Foote. He’s here tonight as a seasoned veteran ready to make his own mark on Seattle Pro.

He slowly lets go then turns around quickly as Valentina pulls herself up with the ropes. Jan grabs her arm and starts to whip her into the ropes but holds on, turns and whips Lovelace hard into the turnbuckles. He hits the Triple Chop then steps away as she stumbles forwards. He grabs her arm and whips her into the ropes. Roost tries to follow up with a lariat, but Valentina ducks it. She rebounds, and catches him in tilt-a-whirl headscissors. She spins him around multiple times, before transitioning her body into an Octopus hold submission.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: She calls that the ‘Princess Lock’.

She pulls on Jan’s arm as far back as she can but Jan turns his hips, loosening her leg, then hip tosses Valentina over. Valentia flips over and lands on her feet. She turns around quickly but Jan kicks her in the stomach and holds her positioned for the Crow Double Arm DDT but instead pulls her in position to lift her for a power bomb but instead nails his patented Dutch Death Spike flipping piledriver and hooks the leg for 1...2...3!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tremendous effort by Valentina Lovelace in her first match.

CHARLES HUDSON: I agree Lou. It almost overshadows the win for Jan van der Roost but I always love seeing that flipping piledriver. My question is who does it better? Roost or Blake Mitchell?

Jan van der Roost is standing with his arm held high in the center of the ring by the official. Lovelace is walking up the aisle holding to the back of her neck but the fans are being very kind to her at ringside and she is smiling. She walks behind the curtain while van der Roost continues to celebrate in the ring.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Outstanding match just then Charles. That is the very meaning, the reason for the FUSION concept. Bringing competition together from all over the world to challenge each other.

CHARLES HUDSON: You’re right Lou. I am still looking forward to that Triple Threat 2 Fall Match Tonight for the Pride and Endurance Championships!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: After the break we’ll see KEG take on his old rival Jimmy Burns...

DURING THE BREAK...

The curtain is thrown back and Valentina Lovelace walks through gorilla receiving compliments from the staff. She shakes the hand of Lauren Daniels as she is approached by Samantha Kinsley in the well lit hallway.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Valentina, Valentina—that was an amazing debut despite the loss against Jan van der Roost. Welcome to Seattle Pro!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Thanks Sam! It was quite the experience being out there with Jan...

Jan van der Roost comes walking down the steps from gorilla wiping his face with a towel as his music can be faintly heard out in the arena.

JAN VAN DER ROOST: Good job out their kid. You really brought it tonight.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Thanks...

Kinsley is looking back and forth at both Lovelace and van der Roost then off in the distance.

JAN VAN DER ROOST: I hope you don’t mind and I don’t want to step on any toes or put my foot in my mouth but I would like to introduce you to someone I want to introduce you too...Aria meet Valentina Lovelace.

From outside the frame walks in Aria Price and she shakes the hand of Valentina Lovelace then hugs Roost.

ARIA PRICE: It’s a pleasure to meet you...

JAN VAN DER ROOST: AP is the head trainer of the Two Squires Wrestling Academy in Vancouver. She’s currently looking for new students. I would highly recommend you if you’re interested?

Lovelace’s eyes widen with a sense of surprise and a smile on her face.

ARIA PRICE: I know you’ve been through wrestling training, had your debut match and all but there is still a lot I can offer if you’re willing to learn...

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Of course I am interested...

ARIA PRICE: Let’s talk more...

AP nods at van der Roost and she accompanied Lovelace our of the frame where Roost exits himself towards his dressing room.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Interesting development following that match. McKayla and Charles back to you.

[Robert Daniels]

“Pretty Good at Drinking Beer” by Billy Currington begins playing throughout the arena as KEG makes his way down the aisle, holding a bottle of beer, and staggering to the ring. KEG turns up the bottle and finishes the drink before sitting the bottle on the apron and sliding into the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing from the pub down the street. Weighing in at two hundred pounds and standing at six feet...KEG!

He bounces off the ropes sluggishly and then climbs on the bottom ropes with both arms up while awaiting his opponent.

"How Far We've Come" by Matchbox Twenty begins playing inside Key Arena as the fans still standing turn there attention to the entry way as Jimmy Burns steps out from behind the curtain and stands on the stage.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing his opponent from Tampa, Florida. Standing at six feet tall and two hundred and twenty five pounds. He is the Rocky Mountain Pro Television Champion...JIMMY—BURNS!

Burns with a fist pump while on the stage begins walking down the aisle before stopping, smiling and pointing at his opponent inside the ring before making a dead sprint to the ring. He suddenly stops and panders to the fans at ringside before walking quickly up the steps and into the ring.

SINGLES MATCH
KEG vs Jimmy Burns

The bell sounds yet KEG stands confidently in his corner and waits for Burns to make his first move. Just as planned Burns runs into the corner. KEG pulls himself up, and sends a shot to Burns’ chin. KEG runs off the ropes, and Burns comes in with a shoulder block. It sends KEG outside, and scrambling to find his bearings. Which he finds by digging under the ring, as Burns comes forth. KEG brings forth a chair to Burns' skull. Knocking him back. KEG gets on the top rope with chair in hand.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Where does he think he is...that is not allowed here in Seattle Pro!

CHARLES HUDSON: Is he drink? Again?

As Burns turns around, KEG dives with intent to bash him over the head. Burns puts his arms up, and catches the chair. He boots KEG in the midsection, and he quickly drops the chair. Burns grabs it, and waits until KEG lifts his head. Just as Burns lifts it up the official takes it from him and gets it out of the ring.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Finally, Order is being restored.

CHARLES HUDSON: Burns was going to nail him square in the face.

Jimmy Burns locks up with KEG and the two battle back and forth before KEG shoves him down onto his back. Burns looks up rolling over and pushes himself back up off the mat to his feet.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: These two have history dating back to last year in Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling.

CHARLES HUDSON: Burns holds a key victory over KEG prior to tonight’s bout.

KEG is looking for a test of strength but Burns waves it off wanting to lock up again. KEG laughs but the two come together with a collar and elbow tie up where Burns converts to a side headlock. KEG shoves off Burns into the ropes but with momentum Burns drops him with a swinging neck breaker hooking the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Burns trying his best to go ahead and put him away.

CHARLES HUDSON: If he’s sober then KEG is as tough as they come.

Jimmy Burns grabs KEG by the neck and pulls him back up to his feet and follows with a stiff punch to the stomach of KEG then a forearm to the head of KEG before raising his arms and attempting to pump up the Salt Lake City crowd. Burns Irish whips KEG off the ropes and quickly comes around with a standing sleeper. KEG is fighting hard to get out of the submission reaching for the ropes but then turns to his side and shoves Burns off into the ropes. Burns bounces hard off the ropes looking for a clothesline but KEG ducks it and looks for a right hand but Burns blocks it as well and follows up with a scoop slam then drops a knee down onto KEG and rolls out of it. Burns standing with the mounted punches in the corner abruptly stops dropping back down to the mat. He lifts KEG up and into a seated position on the top turnbuckle and in turns lifts his up drops his with the Crash and Burn muscle buster and hooks one leg while counting along for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He kicked out! He kicked out of the Crash and Burn!

KEG is close to the ropes and he pulls himself out of the ring dodging the follow up pin attempt by Burns. KEG is staggered but doesn’t fall. Burns grabs him by the neck and throws him overhead. KEG lands in the corner, sitting up right. This time not waiting to attack, Burns runs in with a knee and smacks him in the face. KEG rolls to the outside and gathers himself again. He now walks around the ring and then rolls back in.

CHARLES HUDSON: KEG is on his heel right now. This is the time for Jimmy Burns to strike.

Burns runs up to him and knees him. KEG gets up and clotheslines him down. Not wasting time KEG drop down and punches Burns with right hands. KEG goes for a DDT, but he gets shoved into the ropes. As he bounces back, Burns hits a sidewalk slam onto the mat. KEG grimaces in pain, and wiggles around on the mat.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Burns was unable to get a strong hold of him for the pin.

KEG slides outside and on the apron. Burns this time follows KEG out. As KEG pulls himself up with help from the ropes, Burns slaps his hands around the neck of KEG. KEG turns around, grabs Jimmy’s arms and walks backwards off the apron and violently drives Burns straight off the side, hitting a modified neck slam, as the crowd goes ballistic! KEG drags Jimmy’s dead weight up, and slides him back inside the ring. He jumps on top with both legs hooked for 1…2…3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner is...KEG!

KEG pushes himself up off one knee and has his arm raised by the official while Jimmy Burns rolls out of the ring and begins to make his way up the aisle. Just as he remembers his Rocky Mountain Pro Television Title KEG lifts it up above his head and tosses it across his shoulder.

CHARLES HUDSON: Jimmy Burns is irate. He’s wanting his title back.

Burns slides back into the ring but as he does KEG exits through the crowd followed by Burns and both men disappear into the audience as we go to commercial break.

MAINSTREAM 8: LUST
SATURDAY, 02/24/2018
SILICON VALLEY

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

"Brenda Stubbert" by Ashley MacIssac begins playing through the arena with the hard guitar riff hitting the speakers and the lights black out. With each of the three soft cymbals, a spotlight appears on the stage: green, yellow, then white. The second riff trains two more spotlights on the set, both white, before the pipes and fiddle start, heralding the appearance of Declan Black.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Introducing first from Nova Scotia he is weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds and standing at six feet and four inches tall...DECLAN—BLACK!

He steps out from behind the curtain poses on the stage and then slowly walks down the aisle before coming to a jog. Slapping hands with the fans at ringside before sliding into the ring.

“Dirty Angel” begins to play throughout the arena as Scotty Latimer walks out into the stage with a half smile looking around at the audience before walking down the aisle.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing from Brooklyn, New York. Weighing in at two hundred and twenty seven pounds and standing at six feet and three inches tall...SCOTTY--LATIMER!

Latimer slides under the bottom rope and waves to the fans on the hard camera side before standing on the second rope in the corner. His music ends and he awaits the sound of the bell in his respective corner.

CO-MAIN EVENT
Declan Black vs Scotty Latimer

The bell sounds and immediately after Scotty Latimer and Declan Black start out with a great chain wrestling exchange that Black gets the better of. He has Scotty in a go behind then gives him a take down. Latimer shows his speed reversing Declan into a head lock himself as he gains control. Declan elbows him in the side to. Break the hold as both men are back on their feet.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Both of these men had great battles with James Edwards in 2017. Although there paths haven’t crossed until now this is a match up we all never thought we would get to see.

CHARLES HUDSON: If you had asked me prior to the Pinnacle Battle Royal if we would have seen Declan Black in a Seattle Pro ring again I would have said absolutely not.

They wrestle respectfully for the good first part of the match. Neither man can get the advantage as a frustrated Declan slaps Scotty. Scotty responds with a straight forearm to Declan’s face then a beautiful standing dropkick. The drop kick knocks Declan out of the ring as without wasted motion Scotty bounces off the ropes and delivers a hard fast Tope Suicida driving Declan over the barricade.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Declan Black is in the stands right now laying horizontally at the feet of the fans in the front row.

DECLAN BLACK: Latimer is soaking in the moment with the fans at ringside. Look I see a hand coming up over the barricade.

Latimer reaches over grabbing the head of Black and pulls him back over the railing and tosses him under the bottom rope. Then rolls in behind him. Both men are exhausted from the battle. But Latimer sees Black making it to his feet and they stare at each other and start exchanging blows. Declan gets the advantage and goes to deliver the final one but a superkick nails Declan under the chin. Scotty responds with a sling blade and immediately covers Declan for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The former Heavyweight Champion kicks out at the very last second.

CHARLES HUDSON: Scotty Latimer has been in the drivers seat the entire match.

Scotty irish whips Black into the corner. Black tries to leap off the turnbuckle but Scotty stays back. He locks in the Latimer Experience! Declan fights Scotty backwards as Scotty tries keeping him in the middle of the ring. Finally Scotty gets Declan down and locks the submission in but Declan was close enough to the ropes to get the break. Scotty utilizes the five count before breaking the hold.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The referee was just about to throw this match out and disqualify Scotty Latimer!

CHARLES HUDSON: Scotty is smarter than that no way he would jeopardize his favorable outcome in this bout.

Declan delivers a German suplex but Scotty flips and lands on his feet. He grabs Declan and delivers the Lumbar Check! Declan is laid out in the middle of the ring as Latimer climbs up to the top turnbuckle and leaps off with the Scottybow!!! He drills Declan with the big frog splash elbow as Scotty covers Black 1...2...3!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He’s done it...

Latimer pushes himself up off the mat seemingly with ease. He brushes off his shoulders and celebrates with his arm being risen by the official.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall...SCOTTY—LATIMER!

His music continues to play while he’s still celebrating inside the ring. Declan Black sits up leaning on his bent knee shaking his head. Latimer walks over, looks down at him then pulls him up to his feet. Latimer extends his hand to Declan Black who reciprocates with a handshake. Black whispers into Latimer’s ear before lightly slapping him on the back before he exits the ring.

CHARLES HUDSON: A mutual sign of respect by both men.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: True sportsmanship after a hard fought match. Where does Declan Black go from here though Charles?

CHARLES HUDSON: I don’t know Lou but one has to believe that
Latimer has plenty to look forward to in his future.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: You’re absolutely right Charles. Whether it be the Pride or Heavyweight Championship I think he’s ready. Now after the break we’re looking at the Main Event. Three Men, Two Championships, One Match but TWO FALLS and it’s NEXT!

RECORDED EARLIER TODAY...
Somewhere far away from the cheering crowds and bright lights of FUSION 3, James Edwards sits in a vehicle recording himself on his cell phone. He is straight-lipped and ready to discuss business.

JAMES EDWARDS: I ain't gonna waste much time, I promise. I'm guessin' what I did at the last show doesn't make much sense; eliminating myself and Eli from the rumble, denying myself a shot at the big belt. Just give me a minute, and everything will make sense.

He runs his left hand through his brown hair, which is shaggier than normal.

JAMES EDWARDS: You wanna fight me, don't you Eli? You said so as much almost two months ago, but you ain't done much to prove it. You're too damn busy with the tag belts or runnin' me down, man. You wanna take me out he easy way. You don't wanna face me one on one, eye to eye. You can't force yourself too. You can't because you're fragile. You have been since I first meet you. You hide behind masks, goons, and tag partners. But you wanna fight me, somebody, who doesn't know the meaning of the term back down. Be careful what you wish for, Eli.

He smirks dismissively.

JAMES EDWARDS: You are gonna keep runnin', though. So I guess I gotta come to you. I took your chance at being a world champion. That's your first warning. Duck me again, and I'll make sure you're tag titles are gone. Wanna' keep em'? Fight me at the next show, Eli. No bullshit. Man to man, eye to eye. Prove you've got some steel in your blood, Mr. Glass.

[Robert Daniels]

"Hate Me Now" by Nas kicks in and blares out through the system inside of the arena as royal blue lights fill the venue. The fans in attendance recognize the song and begin to engulf the arena in boos for Stephen Eversol as he appears on the stage with his hands raised.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is for...TWO FALLS and it is for both the Pride and Endurance Championships! The winner of the first fall will be the Pride Champion and the winner of the second and final fall will leave as the Endurance Championship. Now Introducing the first challenger. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty pounds from Brentwood, California...STEPHEN—EVERSOL!

Eversol saunters down the aisle with a cocky smirk, ignoring the fans that shout insults his way as he struts arrogantly up the steps and between the ropes before entering the ring. Stephen climbs the turnbuckles and raises his hands to a chorus of jeers before the music begins to fade while Stephen shadow boxes.

CHECK IT OUT NOW

“Shook Ones: Part II” begins to play throughout the arena as the llights dim with gold and green flashes when Derrick La'Bell steps out of the curtain and hyped up the crowd as he stomps around the stage with enthusiasm.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the second challenger from Uniondale, New York. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty five pounds and standing at six feet tall he is the ‘Eastside Beast’...DERRICK—LABELL!

He stays there for second, and then throws a elbow strike to the air, yelling "Boom" before going up the steps! La'Bell bounces through the ropes and points both hands to the ceiling as he lip syncs until his music is cut. He steps to the corner as he awaits his opponent.

“Until the End” by Breaking Benjamin begins to play as AJ Knight steps through the curtain and saunters out onto the stage.

MAIN EVENT
2 FALLS MATCH

CHARLES HUDSON: Eversol makes the first of what I’m sure will be many saves in this match.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Eversol first challenged AJ Knight in early December of last year in singles action for the Endurance Championship.

Knight is down on the mat after Eversol breaks up the cover with a shot to the head from an stomp! The former MMA standout is angry and he and Eversol resort to blows as the crowd explodes into cheers. Eversol sends La’Bell into the corner and Eversol chases after but gets a boot to the ribs for good measure. Eversol winces in pain as La'Bell stalks behind. He has it well scouted and side steps La'Bell sending him into the ropes and taking him down with a blue thunder bomb then hooks the leg for 1...2...BREAKUP!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Knight breaks the count just in time!

AJ finds himself with La'Bell working technically sound with him. La'Bell attempts to sink in the rear naked choke, but AJ tucks his chin preventing him from locking it in. La'Bell transitions in front of AJ, trying to isolate his arm, AJ however sees it coming and transitions to side control, La'Bell notices his shoulders are down and tries to roll over which allows AJ to lock in the Templar Stretch!

Knight hits an atomic drop on Eversol as he squirms in pain, he's taken down to the mat with a viscous clothesline from La'Bell. Knight goes to the top rope but he and La'Bell get into a shouting match to see who should be the one to hit a high risk move. Finally La'Bell shoves Knight off of the apron and climbs the top rope and leaps off with a elbow drop but he's hasn't noticed Eversol has rolled out of the way. Eversol hits the ropes and executes a running knee drop and covers La'Bell for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: One has to believe that one of these three have to be in contention for a shot at the Heavyweight Championship as well.

Eversol lifts La’Bell seemingly being very frustrated for Royal Blue on La'Bell, who counters with a series of elbows to the back of the head! La'Bell hits the ropes and nails the Superman punch!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We’ve had our first fall...one more to go!

GRAHAM STEVENS: The winner of the first fall and STILL the Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...AJ—KNIGHT!

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN:You gotta have your head on a swivel in these matches. La’Bell didn't and it helped AJ keep one of the belts.

Immediately following the pin AJ Knight begins mouthing off to La'Bell, telling him he blew one chance already. La'Bell, immediately shoots forward with a Bicycle High Knee which AJ side steps schoolboying him again for 1...2...KICKOUT!

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: Damn, that was close!

La'Bell gets up and attempts a Superman punch which AJ ducks and grabs him in an inside cradle for 1...2...NEARFALL! La'Bell comes back after him only to get blasted with a roaring forearm, sending him out to the floor!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Jacob you really should refrain from cursing. We are on the air.

Stephen knees Derrick in the gut, and whips him into the barricade. Derrick catches himself, to prevent any damage, but Stephen smashes his forearms on the back of Derrick. Derrick lets go of his hold of the barricade, and Eversol follows up, by smashing La’Bell’s face onto the steel barricade. He tries again, but Derrick counters with an elbow to the gut. Derrick goes behind Stephen looking like he’s going for a russian leg sweep, but AJ Knight comes from around the corner, drop kicking La’Bell into Eversol at full force!

CHARLES HUDSON: I am changing my pick for this match.

AJ slides back into the ring and climbs to the top rope, looking to leap onto a prone La’Bell, but Eversol, coming from the outside, as well grabs the ropes. AJ lands groin first on the turnbuckle, as Stephen Eversol climbs from the side of the turnbuckles and sets up a super plex. Derrick finally comes too, and runs up, placing his arms on the thighs of The Golden Shotgun, trying to powerbomb him off. Eversol takes AJ with him, as all three men come collapsing down in a heap!

CHARLES HUDSON: AJ Knight is going for the clean sweep.

Stephen Eversol picks up a groggy Derrick La’Bell. Both men are exhausted, as Stephen hooks both arm of Derrick, looking for a double arm DDT, but Derrick spins out. Stephen, shocked, boots La’Bell in the stomach and tries again. Again, Derrick spins out, feeling the urgency of the situation. Stephen looks Derrick in the face, and Derrick headbutts him square in the nose! Eversol steps back, giving Derrick enough to hit him with a spear!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: How about that headbutt Jacob?

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: I'm no fan of La’Bell’s, but that headbutt was vicious. Not as vicious as mine but….

AJ and Derrick go into some chain grappling. Derrick shoots behind, but AJ drops down with a hip toss. AJ goes for the side headlock, but Derrick shoves him off. Derrick follows up with a shoulder tackle. Derrick goes for a standing moonsault, trying to show off his agility, but AJ rolls out of the way.

He goes for to Suplex Derrick, but Derrick reverses, hitting the Eastside Driver on Knight and makes the cover for 1…2…BREAKUP!

CHARLES HUDSON: Eversol makes the save again!

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: DAMMIT!

While La’Bell is pleading with the official AJ Knight has now made it to one knee and with a sudden burst of energy he hits Derrick with a dropkick. Derrick is staggered, as AJ tries to follow up, but Stephen Eversol comes from out of nowhere with a neckbreaker! Stephen goes to suplex Derrick, but is met with a Northern Light Suplex! Derrick pops up, and yells, as he puts his attention on AJ Knight. Derrick hits AJ with a bicycle knee strike, knocking AJ to the mat! Both AJ and Stephen roll out of the ring, as Derrick shows off for the crowd!

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: Derrick got the advantage right now, but he needs to stop showing off for these idiot fans get out there and beat on AJ some more…..and maybe Eversol, too.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Let’s not talk about the fans on the air please.

Eversol slides back into the ring first and is approaching La’Bell but Knight follows him in and join La'Bell as the two men decide to work together to try and take out the seasoned veteran. They send Eversol to the ropes and take him down with a double drop kick! Knight drops down to make the cover for 1...2...BREAKUP!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The pin attempt is cut off by La'Bell.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: This just proves that athletic ability doesn't equate to intelligence. These two brain donors can't comprehend the concept of teamwork.

Stephen Eversol is about to lift Knight up to continue his offensive onslaught until Derrick La’Bell slides back into the ring and the two go at it! Lefts and rights galore, as both men continue just to bury their fists into each other. Both big men know they need to get the other down. Stephen gets the upper hand, and transitions behind Derrick, planting him with a German Suplex.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: DAMN, THAT WAS CLOSE! Will somebody please beat this guy?

La'Bell is frantically trying to make the cover before Eversol breaks it up by peeling La'Bell from Knight and taking him down with an inverted DDT and making the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This match has been spectacular!

Knight is back on his feet and sent into the ropes by both Eversol and La’Bell. They execute a double drop kick and send the champion crashing down to the mat! Eversol drops down to make the cover but is quickly elbow dropped by La’Bell. Eversol is incensed and he and La’Bell exchange rights and lefts before La’Bell is sent crashing down to the mat himself now with a scoop slam and leg drop combo by Eversol who makes the cover on La’Bell for 1...2...KICKOUT!

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: DAMMIT! CONCENTRATE ON AJ!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This match can be won without Knight taking the fall.

Knight and Eversol exchange blows before Eversol gets the upper hand and hits an exploder suplex and quickly makes the cover on the champion for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Knight with an enthusiastic kick out!

Eversol measures AJ up for something while La'Bell is re-entering the ring. Eversol looks for his signature ‘Royal Blu’ on AJ but Knight floats over! Grabs the wrist and looks for the HOLY OUCH...Eversol shoved him away but Knight catches La’Bell who is looking for a diving spear and AJ drops him with a Knightfall DDT bud the impact caused La’Bell to bounce and roll outside of the ring. Knight pushes himself back up off the mat going after La’Bell but Eversol grabs his shoulder, turns him around and hits a kick to the midsection of Knight and takes him down with an Un-Prettier! Have Some and makes the cover for 1...2...3!

The bell sounds and Stephen J Eversol rolls off Knight exhausted as the official leans through the ropes retrieving both the Pride and Endurance Championship Title belts.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner of the second fall and NEW Seattle Pro Wrestling Endurance Champion...STEPHEN...J—EVERSOL!

The official walks back to the center of the ring and hands the Endurance Championship to Eversol who is at this point on one knee admiring the title while his music plays in the background. The official folds the straps in and hands the Pride Championship to AJ Knight whom is still laying under the bottom rope near the corner at this time.

CHARLES HUDSON: Just when we were thinking a clean sweep tonight on behalf of AJ Knight with successful defenses of both title we are treated to a title change that many of us didn’t see coming.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: All I have to say is justice is served. AJ Knight is a fraud and I should have never lost the Endurance Championship to him in the first place. Now it’s in the hands of Eversol who is a jerk but still better than AJ...

“The Vengeful One” by Disturbed booms through the arena PA system as Bryan Blaze appears at the top of the ramp.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Wait, what?

CHARLES HUDSON: I guess Bryan Blaze still has something to say!

Blaze casually struts down the ramp, launching the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship over the top rope before rolling into the ring under the bottom rope. He picks up the Championship belt before retrieving a microphone from Graham Stevens.

He looks around, not saying a word. He slowly turns to face the commentary table, Jacob Hammerstein, to be specific.

BRYAN BLAZE: A lot of people like to say that I don't belong here. That I don't deserve this.

He motions to the Championship belt draped over his left shoulder.

BRYAN BLAZE: Many believe that it won't be long until I lose this Championship again.

I take beatings all the time. The thing is, though...I don't stay down. I'm willing to die for this company; for this Championship. So, I would love for someone to try me.

Without warning, Blaze rolls out of the ring and gets right in the face of Hammerstein.

BRYAN BLAZE: Someone like you, Jacob. Someone who has been just about everywhere lately. You've become a real star, haven't you? Don't think I haven't noticed.

Just like I've noticed that you are getting worn down; beat up worse and worse. Hell, you nearly died in EIW. Yet...here you are.

I've seen people PLEADING with you to just stop. To quit. I get it, Jacob. But…

You may have that decision MADE for you. You may be done a lot sooner than you think or want. Perhaps Holly will get her wish.

Hammerstein stands up, removes his sunglasses and gets nose to nose with Blaze.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: Yeah, here I am. And you're right, that fall could've killed me. But it didn't. You know what that means, Blaze?

That means you sure as hell don't have what it takes to stop me. You can't intimidate me with your crazy act. I F***ING invented batshit crazy here in Seattle Pro, Poindexter.

And I ain't quitting, Blaze. In fact, I'm just getting started.

I won The Pinnacle Battle Royal. That means I get a shot at that SPW Title any time I want. And that scares the hell outta you, don't it?

So don't worry bout what everyone else is sayin, Blaze. You pay attention to what I'm sayin. I'm comin for that belt, boy. And, in my time, when I'm ready....

Hammerstein snaps his fingers.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: It's mine!

Before the situation can escalate, Seattle Pro officials step in to separate champion and contender. While AJ Knight is standing outside the ring leaning against the railing holding the Pride Championship and Stephen J Eversol is now standing at the top of the ramp with his newly won Endurance Championship.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen we have seen an action packed night of Seattle Pro Wrestling here in Houston for FUSION 3! AJ Knight retains the Pride Championship but also is defeated by Stephen J Eversol in the second fall which makes him the new Endurance Champion!

CHARLES HUDSON: Also folks don’t forget that the winner of the Pinnacle Battle Royal joined Lou and I on commentary and we witnessed his first verbal sparring with the reigning Heavyweight Champion...Bryan Blaze!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That is all for FUSION. We’ll see you in two weeks LIVE from Silicon Valley for MAINSTREAM 8: LUST! Good Night!
