BACKSTAGE...
Following the show opening we go to the backstage area, where Samantha Kinsley is standing with Jacob Hammerstein.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Hammerstein, you've made it to the semifinals of The Emerald City Classic after defeating your friend, Chris Constantine, Jr. Who do you hope your opponent will be?

Hammerstein scratches his head, a contemplative look on his face.

HAMMERSTEIN: Who do I hope my opponent is? Honestly, it doesn't matter. No matter if it's AJ, Manny, or Julianna, I'm ready to go to war with whoever they put in front of me.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: What are your feelings about the distraction from Nik Thoreau that helped you defeat Chris Constantine Jr.?

Hammerstein gives her a bit of a sideye, then smirks.

HAMMERSTEIN: Nik Thoreau didn't pick CCJ up and drop him on his head, now did he? Nik Thoreau didn't pin his shoulders to the mat for the 1-2-3, now did he? Nik Thoreau didn't beat Chris Constantine, Jr. I did. Chris took his eye off the ball, and it cost him. End of story. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a match to get ready for.

Hammerstein walks off screen, leaving Samantha to toss it back to ringside.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Ladies and Gentlemen we are back for Night 2 of our Three Night Event for Memorial Day Werkend! Last night we saw AJ Knight, Julianna DiMaria, Mariano Fernandez and Jacob Hammerstein all advance to tonight’s semi-final matches. Tonight they will face off to determine tomorrow nights Main Event. The 2020 Emerald City Classic Finale! Last year we saw Mariano Fernandez and Billy Danielson in the finale. Can Mariano go back to back years in the finale. We will find out a little later tonight!

CHARLES HUDSON:  My money is on AJ Knight! He’s poised, he’s experienced and he’s mad as hell.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  He certainly has something to prove to upper management and even himself but if he does win will this creates divide in the Franchise? All these questions answered tonight and much much more!

EARLIER TONIGHT...
They say that Mainstream is a big stage to be on. That being here can open the door to a promising career. With almost any positive, there comes a few negatives and he has heard both sides of the argument. A podium with the MW Logo postered on the front stood center of the screen as the cameras switched to backstage. There behind the mic was a man in a very nice three piece suit.

MAN IN SUIT: My name is Geddoe Melville. Oh how pleased I am to introduce myself to you all! That's Geddoe like ghetto but clearly I am far from it now that I am here. Correction. Now that we are here!

From his left side enters a thick man. Tall and approaching the Hefty side with bright red long curly hair. He was wearing sunglasses, a black beanie. Geddoe Melville then turns to his right and a bright shot of blue steps into the screen. An exotic female with bright blue hair and a nose piercing.

GEDDOE MELVILLE: To my left and debuting here tonight is 6 foot 7, 2 Hundred and 92 pounds of prison bred aggression. Allow me to introduce you to "State Property" Trevor. Ward. Not a man of many words but all kinds of action! Grew up in the system from Orphanage to Juvenile and graduated to Prison before he was legal age to buy cigarettes. You want convicted? Welcome to his conviction.

As Geddoe turns to the woman. He greets her with a smile and slight bow. She snarls some and looks forward to the camera. Geddoe turns to share direction and speaks once more.

GEDDOE MELVILLE: And to my right we have another debut of a blue-haired, 5 foot 6, 1 hundred and 27 pound bombshell. I introduce to you Harlow Blue! She’s got spunk and the perfect amount of attitude when she means it. She comes from the UK, so that accent will steal your bleeding heart straight from your chest. And you can guarantee she’ll be holding it in her hands with a smile on her face. Miss Harlow, If you will.

Stepping back from the center of the podium. Geddoe Melville motions for Harlow Blue to take the spotlight. Trevor Ward stood still, his chest lifting and falling with deep breaths as he burned a long, cold stare into the camera.

HARLOW BLUE: Thank you, Geddoe. I think Geddoe got most everything needed to be said before I give a little speech later tonight. But for now, I thought I’d say a few things about me. I didn’t have a rough upbringing. My parents didn’t beat me or treat me like rubbish. I used to skip school because I hated it. That was pretty much the extent of my bad streak. I got into wrestling because I walked through a door and took a chance. I liked what I saw. So I worked my arse off to get to where I am today. I will show you all what I’m capable of and maybe even surprise you. But we’ll leave it there for now. I bid you adieu.

As her words come to a finish, she side steps with a slight bow as Geddoe Melville returns to the podium.

GEDDOE MELVILLE: Now just to be clear… This is not a faction. This is not a stable of wrestlers coming together to recycle plastic like most of the groups forming today. There won't be any clever nicknames for what you see right here! This is a man, a fan that has invested not only in this Sport but in new faces entering to compete in it. You've officially been introduced…

Geddoe reaches back and backhands the chest of Trevor Ward then turns to Harlow and nods.

GEDDOE MELVILLE: Don't forget to Smile.

Harlow grins, not a full smile but good enough. Trevor Ward didn't change his expression. Didn't show that he even heard Geddoe's suggestion. The cameras zoom in and focus on the shit eating, larger than it needed to be smile on Geddoe Melville's face.

SINGLES MATCH
★★★ CHRISTINA IDOL ★★★
vs
★★★ SKYE HEALY ★★★

The bell rings and it’s Skye Healy and Idol circle around the ring. They inch closer together, Skye looks for a knuckle lock, but it’s a fake out as she whips around the body with a go behind and rear waist lock. Healy takes her up and down face first into the mat. Healy maintains that waist lock. The two rise to their feet as Idol backs Healy into the corner.

The referee is in there to institute a count. Healy releases her opponent at 4. As Idol walks away, Healy shoves her further away with her boot. Healy follows it up with a headlock. Idol shoves Healy off, Healy off the ropes, Healy with a shoulder tackle. Idol falls to the mat, Healy off the ropes again, Idol attempts a trip up, but Healy jumps over. Idol is back to a vertical base and attempts to take Healy over with a hip toss, but Healy blocks it. Healy counters with a hip toss of her own. Healy follows it up with a handspring and a dropkick as Idol sits up. Healy poses for the camera.

Double leg takedown by Healy. The Limitless Lioness picks the ankle, bending it to the side. Idol winces, but manages to roll out of the hold. Healy is sent forward as she does a handstand, rolling onto her feet. She rushes Idol and gets her in a top wrist lock on the mat. Scrambling for the ropes, Healy intercepts as she gets up to her feet, and stomps down on the point of the elbow. Idol yells in pain, shaking feeling back into their arm.

Whip into the corner, Healy kips up and over Idol. Healy off the ropes and in for a clothesline, Idol ducks and springboards off the ropes, looking for a crossbody, but Healy is there and takes her out of the sky with a big boot.

Skye is whipped out of the corner. She blocks running into the turnbuckle, using her momentum to spring off the turnbuckle and back down crawling through Idol’s legs. Healy to her feet, knuckle lock, Healy kicks away the arm, tiger spin around the body with a hammerlock. Healy leapfrogs over, crawls backwards through the legs. Healy fakes a punch, Idol ducks, and Healy school boys but keeps rolling and connects with a rising roundhouse kick. Healy springs to her feet, bouncing off the ropes and drives Idol’s head into the mat with a spiking hurricanrana bridge for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Moments later it’s an Arm wringer from Healy. She front sweeps the leg out from under Idol and they splat on the mat face first. Healy grabs her foot, spinning around, and drops her shin across the back of Idol’s neck with a finely measured switchblade kick.

Healy is reeling in the corner. Idol comes in to follow up, but Healy springs to life, grabbing the arm, wringing it, and driving her face and shoulder first into the turnbuckle! Healy gets a running start, rounding the corners of the ring as Idol is getting to their feet. HER PATENTED BIG BOOT IN THE CORNER. She calls that the Skye Scraper! It looks as if Idol might be out cold.

Healy throws Idol to the mat and scales the turnbuckles. She leaps off the top rope and crashes down on her opponent with the Skye High Split Legged Frog Splash! Skye hooks the leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall is...SKYE—HEALY!

CHARLES HUDSON:  Now that’s an impressive debut by Skye Healy!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Impressive isn’t the word for it. Christina Idol is a former two-time Tag Team Champion and she’s went toe to toe with some of the best talent Mainstream Wrestling has to offer.

CHARLES HUDSON:  You’re right Lou! This was a coming out party for Healy!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  The sky is the limit for Skye Healy...no pun intended. Let’s take a commercial break and when we return we’ll heir is more Mainstream Wrestling!

SINGLES MATCH
★★★ EMMA DOUGLAS ★★★
vs
★★★ TREVOR WARD ★★★

The bell rings and it’s Trevor award who first approaches Emma Douglas in the center of the ring. He talks some trash and asks her why she wears a mask then suddenly Emma Douglas hits Ward with a few hard forearm strikes, dazing him. She then kicks him in the knee cap, causing him to drop to a knee. Her eyes widen as she begins to run at Ward and hits him with a vicious Death Rattle, flattening him!

Emma Douglas remains on the offensive despite moving slow and methodical she catches Trevor Ward with a stiff leg kick to the outside of his left knee. He buckles in the leg as Emma presses against him, removes her mask then bites him on the arm. He flings at her and misses, she throws a haymaker to his open side as his arm swings empty space, he folds sideways and grunts from the blow.

Douglas breaks away, looking to rush across the ring but Ward snatches her by the hair and yanks her head back as her body tries to continue running. She turns back to him and Trevor Ward grabs her with both hands around her neck. Emma tries to clobbed at his wrists with both fists, she throws a fist at his face but is just out of distance. Pulling her as he steps back, Trevor Ward turns and launches Emma with a Choke Toss into the turnbuckle but she appears unphased.

Emma Douglas rushes out of the corner but Trevor Ward hoists her up across his shoulders, Trevor is looking for his "OhhhHiOhhh" F5 into an Impaler DDT but as he swings the big girl, Emma slides off the spin, lands on her feet and flies forward, crashing a clothesline into the bigger man's chest. He doesn't budge. Emma nods, turns and runs to the far ropes, springing from them, she picks up speed. Again she plows into Trevor Ward but the man dubbed "State Property" isn't being knocked back. Ward grabs Emma as she starts to go for another. Ward points to himself and follows her example. He slowly jogs to the ropes, gains an inch of speed on the bounce and as he comes in aggressively for his Clothesline attempt. "The Mistress of Mayhem" launches at him and uses his own momentum to Spear him!

Having knocked the big man down, Emma Douglas grabs him by the arm and tugs. Pulls like she was lifting dead weight or pulling a semi truck. Ward yanks his arm free and turns to his stomach and begins pushing to his feet. Emma kicking, stomping on fingers, punching down at his face. All of it causes pause and as he gets to a kneeling knee, Emma turns and rushes across the ring. Hitting the ropes, she springs from them and leaps from her feet looking to connect with her Shining Wizard she calls 'Death Rattle'.

Ward two step rushes at Emma and big boots her in the midsection. An aggressive gut kick that bends her over. Trevor clobbers down across her back with a heavy forearm. She arches and tries to turn away from him but Ward shoves her head down and crashes down another forearm into her back. She cries out and the cry turns to a roar as she lowers her shoulder and lifts Ward across her shoulders in a Fireman's Carry. The loud cheers and gasps of the absent audience could have been louder as Emma turns and dives sideways with Ward going head first into the turnbuckles! Emma hit the 'Douglas Devastation Driver'! She struggles to turn the heavy man onto his back and makes the cover for 1...2...ROPEBREAK!

Ward puts a leg over the bottom rope. The referee shows her the leg and signals he cannot make the count she required. Emma Douglas flattens Ward with a devastating high kicks. Emma then goes for the kill, grabbing a leg and moves in to apply the Flash Flood 2.0. She manages to flip Ward over and grab the arms, lifting him completely off the mat.

Trevor Ward is dazed. Emma walks up behind him, with an evil smile on her face. Slowly, Ward turns around and immediately met with a hand clasped about his throat. Chokeslam! Emma Douglas then sets most of her body weight upon Ward's chest, reaching back to hook a leg for good measure for 1...2..BREAK!

Emma Douglas stops the pin fall attempt. Instead she stands looking down at Trevor Ward. She violently grabs him by the head and neck and pulls him to his feet. She kicks him in the gut and then promptly picks him up into a Fireman's carry position. She then runs and nails Ward into the turnbuckles. Douglas Devastation Driver! She grabs a leg of Ward and drags him away from the ropes and drops down and hooks a leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall is the Mistress of Mayhem...EMMA—DOUGLAS!

CHARLES HUDSON:  Two immovable objects met here tonight and one of them moved!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Emma Douglas will be a force to be reckoned with with Mark my words!

CHARLES HUDSON:  Trevor Ward has a bright future in this business but he’ll be returning to Emerald City Squires right here in the Mainstream Wrestling Studio for class first thing Monday morning.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  I agree Charles. Ward has a ways to go but he’s showed a lot of promise here tonight. Ladies and Gentlemen let’s take a commercial break and when we return we’ll find out who the first finalist is for this years Emerald City Classic is!

BACKSTAGE...
BILLY DANIELSON: At first it was Mark Storm...

Danielson walks into frame, standing in front of the Mainstream Banner and holding his Mainstream World Heavyweight championship in the classic side-arm fashion. He looks into the camera with a smirk.

BILLY DANIELSON: Robb Daniels was so smitten with his run in Skyfire, that he just had to get him into Seattle Pro. He wanted Mark to be his champion, not me, so he created the Emerald City Classic to give Marek that shot, however, Mark failed in the finals. Robb was so devastated that Mark Storm couldn’t beat someone like Bryan Blaze, and so instead of making Storm work for his next shot, created the Fusion event. Initially, it was supposed to be a winner leaves as Skyfire and Seattle Pro champion, but Skyfire was too afraid that Mark would falter again, and so the match had been changed to just a Champion vs Champion match, and for all intents and purposes, I was the victor. Mark Storm couldn’t survive in this climate, but I could.

Danielson shakes his head.

BILLY DANIELSON: Then there was Stephen Eversol and Ryan Henderson. He wanted them to succeed so badly, he kept shoving them in Endurance and Pride and Television championship matches until they finally won their respective titles. While I was getting left off of cards, and trying to keep the tag division alive, Robb was giving them every chance he could, but just like Mark Storm, when push truly came to shove, they couldn’t get it done. Shotgun left the company randomly, dropping the Endurance Championship in such a disgraceful manner that Robb had to rebrand the title entirely because of it. Hendo on the other hand, would follow Mark’s footsteps almost perfectly, by failing in the ECC finals and then leaving with his tail between his legs.

The theme of Robb’s pet projects has always been a hot topic for Billy, because it was very obvious to him and a lot of his peers, Robb Daniels never wanted Billy to succeed. Robb has done everything in his power to keep Billy out of the limelight, but no matter what Robb did, Billy’s always found his way to the top.

BILLY DANIELSON: Then there was JT Saint, Jack Tillman, Jacob Davies, Amira Kassouri (whom I actually kind of liked), Alexander Irvine, SILK, and so many others that were failed pet projects of Robb Daniels that ended up either leaving after becoming minor champions, or never lasted more than a couple of months before they were driving from being complete failures. Every single one of them tried to be something more, tried to be the next Billy Danielson of Mainstream, so that way Robb Daniels could justify keeping me from my title for so long, but none of them could live up to the hype, and they all suffered because of it.

A slight change in Danielson tone segues him into his next point.

BILLY DANIELSON: They all suffered... except two people.

And there is that next point. Danielson has been on a never ending crusade against all of Robb’s pets, but throughout the near 4 years in this company, Billy has only met 2 men that he couldn’t drive away from “his company”.

BILLY DANIELSON: Obviously, the first person is Mariano Fernandez. He is the third person to fail in the finals of the Emerald City Classic, just for Robb to try and shoe-horn him into the title picture anyways. The only difference that Manny has from the other ECC Failures, is that Manny actually won the World Title thanks to Robb’s string pulling. He was handed multiple world title shots to Mariano, and like a blidn squirrel, he finally found his nut, and then was handed a grand slam honor like a participation trophy. However, we’ve also seen how Manny’s world title reigns went, and that’s why he’s never going to win this title again.

Billy pulls his World Championship to his face and kisses it, before smirking back at the camera and talking about the second pet project that has yet to leave Mainstream Wrestling.

BILLY DANIELSON: The other pain in my ass, who has yet to prove himself in this company despite being a former tag team and pride champion, is A.J. Morales.

The sound of disgust is heard in his voice as the name leaves his lips. Morales has always tried to be the foil of Danielson since the end of the Midnight Horsemen days. They had battled over the Pride title a year and a half ago, and no their rivalry continues.

BILLY DANIELSON: You know A.J., for someone who thinks himself a revolution, you’ve always needed Robb Daniels to hold your hand in Mainstream, and even in NVR. You struggled to beat AJ Knight for the United States Championship, so you needed as many opportunities as you could get. Title matches, title contention matches, Robb even made the Pride Grand Prix, just so you might be able to win, and lucky for him, it was the only tournament in Mainstream history that actually produced the winner he wanted. You got your Pride title, but just like Manny, you fell to The Franchise.

Danielson scoffs at the thought of A.J. Morales holding championship gold.

BILLY DANIELSON: Then once you realized that you couldn’t beat me, you ran away to NVR to beat up on a bunch of developmental rookies who couldn’t pronounce suplex correctly if they wanted to. The Pride Championshi[p is supposed to be the stepping stone to bigger opportunities, but somehow you took a step backwards. You went on to beat a bunch of nobodies, with only about 3 of those matches actually happening in NVR to begin with.

While you were playing big fish in a small pond, I made the Pride title a championship that was considered better than the World Championship by many, because I broke the longest title reign record, the most defenses for a singles title record, and became the first ever grand slam world champion. While you were trying to put that dingy crap heap people call NVR Wrestling on the map, I WAS INDUCTED IN THE HALL OF FAME AND BECAME THE FIRST CHAMPION TO WIN THE EMERALD CITY CLASSIC. While you were trying to be the Billy Danielson of NVR, I was expanding on what that phrase meant.

Danielson shakes his head once more.

BILLY DANIELSON: However, I see a lot of potential in you, A.J.. You’re not like Manny. Sure, you’re a joke, but you at least have skill. Where Mariano can only show failure and disappointment, you show promise. You have a chance to be the champion that Manny never could be, but the problem is, you’re still having title shots spoon-fed to you by Robb, rather than earning it like I did. The problem is, when I lent you my hand, as a sign of peace and guidance, you spit in my face and turned your back on me.

I gave you a chance to be a Franchise level wrestler, like James, AJ, and myself, but you decided you’d rather be Manny 2.0, and get embarrassed by me once again.

Danielson unbuttons the Mainstream World Championship, and plops it over his shoulder.

BILLY DANIELSON: So tonight, I will crush you, just like Manny, and every other undeserving pet project Robb Daniels tries to shove down my throat. Tonight, I’m going to make you wish you had chosen to flop in the Emerald City Classic like you have before, because at least tournaments are things losers can brush off easily. Tonight, I’m going to prove why I am the Burial Assassin and The Franchise, and once I’m done with you, hopefully I’ll have a real challenger decided for me, because these wastes of talent like you and Manny are no longer cutting it for Mainstream.

[Robert Daniels]

EMERALD CITY CLASSIC
SEMI-FINAL MATCH
★★★ AJ KNIGHT ★★★
vs
★★★ HAMMERSTEIN ★★★

AJ Knight jumps Hammerstein before the bell! He stomps him in the corner and throws him out of the ring! AJ slams his face off the apron before driving his back into the rail! He whips him into the steps before putting the boots to him! Knight posts him before hitting a snap suplex on the floor! He follows that up with a scoop slam into the apron before rolling him into the ring!

Knight Superkicks Hammerstein in the back, crumpling him into the ropes, before pulling him off for a back breaker! AJ drags him to their feet for an abdominal stretch! The referee goes to check on his injured Hammerstein as AJ reaches for the ropes for extra leverage! The referee senses something is up but by the time he gets there AJ has let go of the ropes! AJ then goes right back to the ropes! The referee sees more urgency in Hammerstein and again looks for AJ's hand on the rope, but this time AJ just barely manages to hide it! The referee goes back to check Hammerstein... BUT FAKES AJ OUT! HE CAUGHT HIS HAND ON THE ROPE!!! AJ just shrugs and keeps wrenching on it! The referee counts... And AJ breaks on 4! He smugly reminds the referee he has til 5!

Hammerstein shoves Knight away as he tries to pull him to his feet. Instead Hammerstein and Knight are center ring, trading punches, with the sound of fist to face reverberating throughout the Mainstream studio. Knight starts getting the better of Hammerstein, tagging The American Monster with rights and lefts. Hammerstein's on spaghetti legs, looking like he's ready to fall. Knight swings with what could be a knockout blow, but Hammerstein traps their right arm under his left. They go for a hard left hand, but Hammerstein traps it with his right arm. With little hesitation, The American Monster unleashes a torrent of headbutts to the forehead of Knight. Knight drops to their knees, their arms still trapped under Hammerstein's. Hammer is none the worse for wear, as he struggles to stay upright. He lines Knight up, draws back, and slams his head into their's. Knight falls to the mat while Hammerstein stumbles backwards into the ropes. He uses his momentum to push him forward into a falling headbutt. He drapes his arm across Knight for 1...2...KICKOUT!

AJ Knight and Hammerstein are using each other almost as a leaning post trying to make a stand and get up off the mat. The two one again come nose to nose, trading forearm strikes on their knees! One shot rocks AJ!!! Hammerstein lunges forward..BUT AJ DUCKS IT!!! TEMPLAR STRETCH! Hammerstein wraps his hand and wrist around Knight’s ankle while upside down. He quickly strikes the back of his knee dropping him to a single knee and causing him to release the submission hold.

Hammerstein is back on his feet he sees Knight kneeling favoring his knee then he mows Knight down with a running clothesline. As they get up, Hammer knocks him down again with another clothesline. Hammerstein waits as Knight struggles to his feet, using the ropes for assistance. The American Monster charges in again, taking him up and over the top rope with a wicked Cactus Clothesline. Hammerstein lands hard on the apron as Knight slams onto the floor.

As Knight gets to a vertical base, Hammerstein launches himself off the apron with a Running Somersault Senton. Knight flies into ring barricade, but Hammerstein doesn't come out unscathed, as he lands hard on his upper back and shoulders. As Knight lays against the barricade, Hammerstein writhes on the floor, holding the back of his neck. Both competitors work hard to barely beat the count back into the ring.

AJ cuts attempts to stop Hammerstein's momentum with a boot to the gut and an elbow to the small of the back! As Hammerstein doubles over in pain AJ drags him to the corner and snap suplexes him into the turnbuckle! Hammerstein writhes in pain as AJ drives his knee into their back repeatedly until the referee comes in to forcibly separate him! He asks Hammerstein if they want to continue until AJ rushes into the corner and blasts him in the back with a European uppercut crumpling him to the mat again, earning an admonishment from the referee!

Knight has Hammerstein in the corner and is wearing him out with knee strikes and punches. Hammerstein is down to one knee and nearly out. Knight pulls Hammerstein up and goes for a Brainbuster, but Hammer floats over and lands behind Knight. Hammerstein spins the around, kicks him in the stomach and drops him with The Stunner that he used to call Droppin' the Hammer. Jacob covers Knight as best he can and hooks the leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall and advancing to tomorrow nights Emerald City Classic Finale...JACOB—HAMMERSTEIN!

CHARLES HUDSON:  This is one of the longest standing competitive rivalries in Mainstream Wrestling history!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  AJ Knight is extremely disappointed but you can’t be ashamed of this outing.

Hammerstein has his arm raised as AJ Knight scoots backwards into the corner placing his right elbow on the bottom turnbuckle. He takes the outside of his left hand to wipe his mouth and he checks it for blood but no trace. He grabs his jaw and shifts his mouth before pulling himself up to his feet. Hammerstein turns around breathing heavily with no expression on his face: with his arm and hand across his mid section he offers the other hand for a shake. Knight looks at his hand snarls and then exits the ring and it’s his back facing the entrance keeping an eye to on Hammerstein the entire time.

CHARLES HUDSON:  AJ Knight was my choice to win the whole thing. I’m surprised.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  The field for this years Classic is as stacked as it has ever been. Jacob Hammerstein will face the winner of Julianna DiMaria and Mariano Fernandez tomorrow night. We’ll find out which one after the break!

BACKSTAGE...
SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Mainstream Wrestling has recently signed new talent even when the pandemic has cost so many their jobs! Names full of potential and gleaming with talent as they set foot into the world, the stage that is Mainstream Wrestling! Tonight we will see the Second Round of the Emerald City Classic and in it, we have seen newer faces to this company competing at very high levels.

Kinsley stands aside as a promotional banner for the ECC is seen on the wall behind her. The names of those competing are visible.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Continuing that trend, I am pleased to introduce one of the HOTTEST free agents in the sport today! Mainstream Executives has viewed them as a top tier talent no matter where they have performed! Please join me in welcoming and hopefully soon signing with Mainstre--

Into the scene walks Jason Cashe. The Television Title comfortably resting over his shoulder as it has remained since he won it in September. Kinsley looks confused as she looks around him looking for her intended guest.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Where..? What.. Umm..

JASON CASHE: Yeah, sorry to inform you but that 'name' that you WERE gonna talk too? They pulled out. They ran for the exit as soon as they heard I'd be in the building. I guess I.. Have that effect on some and that gets borrowed by others and the trend of it is to dislike what stands before you. See, Sammy K, I am not here to make anyone like me. I am not standing here like some carbon copy cutout who changed their name but fits the very same bill as the brand they look to imitate. Let me ask you..

He steps forward. Closer to her. In her personal space that clearly makes Samantha Kinsley a little uneasy.

JASON CASHE: Am I making you uncomfortable Samantha?

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: No.. I mean, maybe a little?

JASON CASHE: It should because right now, I could kiss you… My lips pressed against yours as you struggle to pull away. You would probably slap me or cry right?

Her eyes full of concern but there were no tears building. She was scared but didn't back away, she stood her ground because she made a career out of being around aggressive athletes. Female, Male or feral such as Cashe is at times. He steps back, grins but the grin wasn't friendly. It had an intent behind it that seemed grim.

JASON CASHE: I could kiss you.. Or I could bite your flucking nose off! I could throw you to the ground and stomp on your throat… I could follow you home. Lay in wait until night skies fall over the landscape. When you've surely fallen sound asleep and then I sneak inside. Or? I could hope to buy your friendship and mail you a present! The thing is Sammy? I just want to defend my title again. It's been too long already and this is Night TWO that I've gone without defending during a Television Broadcast of Mainstream Wrestling and I am FIENDING!!

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: But.. You'll be defending on Night Three right? Against Tedmund Montgomery again?

Cashe rolls his eyes as he motions her along to finish the sentence.

JASON CASHE: Third times the charm? One would hope right because if he fails yet again? In a game of Paper, Rock, Scissors, every hand can win or lose and this is just like that! So odds are, if you give him enough opportunities back to back to back and so fourth.. He has to win ONE of them right?

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Is it true it will be inside of Northgate Mall?

JASON CASHE: Right? I mean it could be worse.. They could have booked it at a Playground. Cheaper anyway. The problem I have with it Sammy is that the WRESTLER! The one who wants to lead by example. Remove ME from this here Championship needs to challenge me to a Third Title Match on Twitter and adds in this Mall business.. Low and behold, that's the match made. I agreed to it because otherwise, do I get to defend at ALL for this Three night Mainstream Event? The Wrestler wants to leave the ring and go shopping!

They both share a short laugh. Kinsley's was more a chuckle but Cashe gave it a belly jiggle.

JASON CASHE: Regardless. I am here for it! I've been in street fights and in my younger years would have jacked Paul Blart for his scooter so sign me up! If Robb wants to flip the bill for the damages Teddy and I cause then so be it. I won't hesitate to lube him up and drag him all THROUGH Spencer's bareback! I will GLADLY leave him beaten, bloodied and laid up in Victoria's Secret wearing the latest fashion in Ohh Ahhs and an expensive Bra!

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ohh Ahhs?

Not that he ignored her question, rather she said it almost in a whisper if not for her being close to the microphone. Cashe concludes.

JASON CASHE: So for the second NIGHT.. I will watch wrestling inside of a ring. I will watch it from a Television backstage with the Television Championship sitting on my person. Come the 21st? Northgate Mall. Television Championship on the line for the THIRD Time! Teddy Montgomery will find his opportunity and it might come with a Pretzel..

Cashe walks past Samantha Kinsley and leaves the opposite way he entered.

EMERALD CITY CLASSIC
SEMI-FINAL MATCH
★★★ MARIANO FERNANDEZ ★★★
vs
★★★ JULIANNA DIMARIA ★★★

The bell rings and it’s Julianna DiMaria and Mariano Fernandez circling the ring teasing a collar and elbow tie up. Instead Fernandez immediately goes on the offense! He begins with a right hand, DiMaria counters with a left! Fernandez with a right again! And another! And once more, then he fires a huge roundhouse kick that sends DiMaria staggering! DA #TROLL GUY slides past DiMaria to the ropes, then comes back and takes DiMaria down with a Tornado DDT! DiMaria makes it to a knee, but Fernandez has climbed to the rope! Beautiful Shooting Star Press right to DiMaria’s arms! COUNTER SCOOP SLAM BY DiMaria, AND DA #TROLL GUY IS DRIVEN HARD TO THE MAT! COVER BY DiMaria for 1...2...KICKOUT!

DA #TROLL GUY KICKS OUT AT TWO! DiMaria has brought a degree of surprise to Fernandez as he pushes himself off of the mat. Fernandez looks to tie up with DiMaria but as she swings he picks her up and places her on the top rope. Before Fernandez can do anything, however, DiMaria is able to respond with a boot to the face to send Fernandez staggering backward. One her adversary regains their composure, DiMaria leaps off of the top rope and connects with a missile dropkick. Both wrestlers are down for the moment, with Fernandez being stunned by taking a move so suddenly, and DiMaria still trying to recover from the damage she’s taken so far.

DiMaria is able to stir and get to a vertical base but sees that Fernandez is crawling around. DiMaria runs up and nails a dropkick to bring down Fernandez. This dropkick causes Fernandez to roll out of the ring and end up on the floor, recovering and trying to catch their breath. DiMaria doesn’t have it as she quickly rolls out of the ring herself, grabs Fernandez from behind and tosses her adversary shoulder first into the steel steps. Fernandez is hurting some, but DiMaria could care less as she dumps her adversary back in the ring. Fernandez is holding their shoulder, wincing in some pain and DiMaria has a bit of a smirk on her face as she rolls back into the ring. DiMaria measures her adversary as Fernandez slowly gets to a doubled over position. DiMaria is quick to turn Fernandez around and then drive a double knee right into the shoulder, connecting with a double knee arm breaker! DiMaria pins Fernandez’s shoulders for 1…2…KICKOUT!

DiMaria cannot believe it, and argues with the ref for a fast count, but the referee won’t hear it! Frustrated, DiMaria decides to go for the end, and prepares to pick Fernandez up for DiMaria Code…BUT DA #TROLL GUY rolls her up! One two, and DiMaria kicks out right on time! This gives the former World Heavyweight Champion some time to recover, and when DiMaria comes at him again, he throws a right hand! DiMaria counters! A brief back and forth of shots takes place once more, and DA #TROLL GUY decides to go for a front kick. DiMaria catches his leg- NO! THE GADFLY BY MARIANO FERNANDEZ! Step-Up Enzuigiri lands flush on DiMaria’s temple, who drops like a sack of potatoes! DA #TROLL GUY goes for the cover of 1...2...KICKOUT!

DiMaria is dazed as she stands up near the center of the ring. She crawls toward the ropes while Fernandez stalks her from behind. Fernandez watches as DiMaria reaches the ropes and uses them to pull herself up to a vertical base. Fernandez walks up to her and tries to grab her from behind, but DiMaria counters with an elbow that sends her adversary staggering back. DiMaria turns around, leaning on the ropes for a bit.

Fernandez comes back to try to get to her, but DiMaria dodges him and Fernandez crashes right into the ropes. Fernandez staggers backward toward DiMaria who then clubs her adversary with an elbow from behind. Fernandez turns around right toward her and she then responds with a knee to the gut followed by a Tornado DDT. DiMaria takes a minute to catch her breath before deciding to stand up. Fernandez is beginning to stir at this point and DiMaria maintains a laser focus on him. Once Fernandez gets to his knees, DiMaria runs up to him and quickly kicks him right in the sternum to send him teetering. Fernandez dangles for a bit and DiMaria comes back and delivers a harder super kick to the sternum that makes her adversary even more wobbly. DiMaria then grits her teeth and runs up to her adversary, delivering a shining wizard that goes right into the skull of Fernandez. Fernandez quickly falls flat on his face and DiMaria has a smirk of her own, loving what just happened as she drops down to the mat, turns Fernandez over and then hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

DiMaria can’t believe it but Fernandez isn’t finished yet. As DA #TROLL GUY tries to roll away, he keeps getting stomped into the ground by DiMaria! Soon DiMaria decides to pick him up and launch him to the ropes, then catches him on the rebound with an earth-shattering Spinebuster! Cover by DiMaria, but DA #TROLL GUY kicks out at the last second!

DiMaria has had enough, and letting out a howl of frustration, sets up Fernandez for the DiMaria Code! DiMaria is about to put DA #TROLL GUY away… NO! DA #TROLL GUY WITH THE ASIAN MIST! DiMaria drops down to a knee ducking the secretariat spray. Fernandez makes a mad dash at DiMaria, but DiMaria responds with a super kick right out of nowhere to Fernandez, clocking him right in the jaw and causing him to fall limp on the floor. DiMaria is in a confident mood as the smirk on her face would indicate as she walks over to Fernandez. She tries to grab her adversary’s hair to try to get him up, but Fernandez comes back with an elbow.

DiMaria is quick to drop him with a DDT to keep him down and now she’s unhappy as she rolls him over to the corner. DiMaria has a vicious look in her eyes as she runs up to the corner, grabs the top rope, bounces off the second rope and drops a springboard double knee right into the chest of Fernandez. DiMaria leans against the corner as she measures Fernandez who is rolling around and writhing in pain after that wicked double knee. Fernandez slowly stands up, holding his chest and DiMaria dashes right at him and gives him another double knee, this time to the gut. This causes Fernandez to double over while DiMaria grabs him from behind and drives him into the mat with the DIMARIA CODE! DiMaria turns Fernandez over, hooking both legs for an emphatic cover with a vicious look in her eyes for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall and advancing to the finale of this years Emerald City Classic is...JULIANNA—DIMARIA!

CHARLES HUDSON:  I am absolutely stunned McKayla!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Let me guess Mariano Fernandez was your pick to win the whole thing?

CHARLES HUDSON:  Actually yes he was! He’s a two time World Champion and his storybook ending is denied. Two years in a row he’s missed out on the Classic!

Mariano Fernandez makes it to his feet and circles behind the victor. Julianna DiMaria is handed her United States Championship and has her arm raised in victory by the official. He looks to leave but instead turns and approaches DiMaria as she looks over her shoulder. She turns around and Mariano Fernandez has a handshake waiting for her—she doesn’t hesitate instead she immediately shakes his hand and Fernandez grabs her by the wrist and raises her hand.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Mariano Fernandez is a class act. True sign of sportsmanship right there. Congratulations to Julianna DiMaria as she will face off tomorrow night against Jacob Hammerstein in the Emerald City Classic Finale!

BACKSTAGE...
Standing in the hallway is the beautiful Samantha Kinsley. She is holding a microphone and she begins addressing the live camera.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ladies and Gentlemen it’s been an eventful night thus far on Night 2 of this Three Night Event for Memorial Day Weekend! I’m about to get a word with Robb Daniels.

Kinsley goes to knock on the door of Robb Daniels but as she begins to knock the door is abruptly opened. She smiles and it’s Nik Thoreau whom walks out of the office. Just behind him is Robb Daniels. The two men shake hands before Thoreau walks out of the frame.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: I didn’t mean to interrupt...

ROBB DANIELS: Don’t be silly Sam. All is well. How can I help you?

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: I just wanted to get a few comments from you on last night and tonight’s main event. First of all what are your thoughts on the First Round and Semi-Final matches of the Emerald City Classic?

ROBB DANIELS: It’s been an amazing two nights of wrestling and it’s hard to believe but there is still a World Heavyweight Championship Main Event still to come tonight not to mention another night of Mainstream Wrestling tomorrow! It’s an amazing event each and every year.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: What are your thoughts on the finalists?

ROBB DANIELS: It’s been a stack field. Perhaps the strongest eight wrestlers that this tournament has had at one time! Julianna DiMaria beat Bryan Ford last night and she’s going to have to defend the US Championship against him tomorrow night then face off against Jacob Hammerstein in the Main Event. If she pulls this off it will truly be an impressive feat. As for Jake Hammerstein we’ve had our ups and down but he’s in our Hall of Fame for a reason. He’s the real Franchise if Mainstream Wrestling...

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: What about Mariano Fernandez falling short of reaching the finale in back to back years?

ROBB DANIELS: It’s unfortunate Sam. Mariano is a once in a lifetime talent who honestly doesn’t realize his own worth especially right here in Mainstream Wrestling. He’s a very valuable asset to the company, the fans love him, they buy his merch and he puts the asses in the seats. Why am I the only person who can see that? You know what never mind.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: It’s safe to say that you’re elated to see Constantine Junior make an early exit from the Emerald City Classic, right?

ROBB DANIELS: Elated isn’t necessarily the word for it but he did say he was going to win he whole thing. You can’t win them all. I guess he just can’t win any of them these days. Call it what you want but it’s true he’s a failure and I don’t even know why I keep him on the payroll...

Daniels shakes his head and tightens his fist.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Lastly, what do you think about tonight’s Main Event. Is there any validity to what Billy Danielson has said here tonight concerning you? Concerning your projects?

ROBB DANIELS: He’s absolutely right. I do take a special interest in featuring talent, developing their skills but most importantly putting money in my bank account! I’m the real mother f***ing Franchise! See these egotistical dick heads think they did all this on their own but they couldn’t have done any of it without the platform I put them on. Billy Danielson was one of my first projects. He should be thankful and shut the hell up. Hopefully tonight Morales kicks him in the f***ing head and wins the World Championship. That’s all I got to say...

Daniels turns and walks down the hallway exiting the frame.

MAIN EVENT

MAINSTREAM WRESTLING
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
★★★ BILLY DANIELSON (C) ★★★
vs
★★★ A.J. MORALES ★★★

Before the bell’s even finished ringing, Morales runs up and—ooh, BLASTS Danielson with a shotgun dropkick! The champ reels into his corner as the Revolution rushes him down, firing shoot kick after shoot kick until Billy’s sitting down and the ref starts a 5-count to force A.J. to back off. Even then, A.J. just runs all the way back to his own corner, comes back...BOOM! Hits Danielson with a cannonball! Morales makes the cover...1!...2—no, Billy grabs the rope just shy of a 2-count! Clearly, the aggressive start is paying dividends for Morales.

Danielson gets up on the ropes as Morales runs at him, looking for the El Diablade, but Danielson pops him up over the top rope A.J. is sent to the floor. Luckily he lands on his feet, and turns to see Billy stumble away to the center of the ring. In a feat of pure athleticism, Morales leaps onto the apron from a square base and lands perfectly in the center. Danielson charges, trying to catch Morales, but A.J. is able to flip over Billy, land on his feet, and runs towards the adjacent ropes. Full speed, A.J. rushes at the Champion, looking to execute the El Diablade successfully, BUT DANIELSON POPS HIM UP IN THE AIR!!! Morales hurdles to the ground, AS DANIELSON BRINGS UP HIS KNEE FOR A CHICAGO BLACKOUT!!!

Danielson walks around the ring now, celebrating, as Morales tries to recover from the sudden impact of that knee. He gets to his knees, but Danielson hits him with a Bulgarian Suplex. A.J. is able to use his momentum to get to his feet and leap onto the middle turnbuckle, but when he leaps back towards Billy with a back elbow, however, the Mainstream World Champion slams him with a catch german. A.J. is folded in half as Danielson stacks him up and begins to punch A.J. repeatedly in the face. Morales scrambles, putting Billy in a triangle, but Danielson is able to deadlift A.J. and powerbomb.

Billy walks around Morales, waiting for him to get, before Irish whipping the challenger. Again, Danielson goes for a pop-up on the rebound—WAIT WAIT A.J. GETS A HEADLOCK—THUNK! Morales counters Danielson with an absolutely brutal satellite DDT! Cover! 1!...2!...KICKOUT! But the three-time World Heavyweight Champion’s head is still spinning, and the Slayer knows it. A.J. kips up into a judo stance and drags Danielson up for a hip toss. Maintaining wrist control, A.J. pulls Danielson back up again, lifts the champ into a fireman’s carry, backs up until he’s right at the ropes…

A.J. MORALES: This bitch empty! YEET!

A.J. dumps Billy onto the apron with a nasty release Samoan drop, and that can’t feel good at all! Billy just barely gets a hand on the bottom rope in time to avoid falling off to the outside floor, and as he struggles to pull himself back in, Morales takes the opportunity to catch his breath and play to the cameras a little. Danielson rolls back into the ring, and A.J. goes for the OBVIOUSLY META CURBSTO-NO!!! Danielson is able to roll backwards underneath the bottom rope. Lucha Jesus doesn’t let The Franchise get far though, as he hits the ropes, and shoots like a torpedo through the ropes AND INTO THE BARRICADE!!! Danielson manages to side step Morales, and sends him head first into the guardrail. Danielson trips over himself and falls on his ass, but he sits there staring at his opponent as they both catch their breath.

The referee gave them a moment to stir, but is forced to start their count. The count gets to about 4, before Danielson decides to actually get up. He grabs A.J. up in a headlock, and delivers some sick knees to the face. He gets about three in, before Billy man-handles him, and throws him at the apron. Stalking Morales again, Danielson hits a Chicago Blackout, before realizing that the count is now at 8. The champion rolls in, and then back out. The referee yells at Danielson to get back into the ring, but Danielson just flips him off and goes right back to kneeing Morales in the face like a douche bag. Finally he gets bored of making Morales look like Emery Layton after battling a samoan power ranger, and lifts him up with a single underhook. He squares morales with the steel steps, and hits a hip toss that makes A.J. land back first on the stairs. Morales rolls off, and Danielson throws him back into the ring.

Danielson is too busy being a cocky kickass to go for the pin. He lines A.J. up, just to knock him back down with another Chicago Blackout. He drags A.J. to the center of the ring by his hair, before the referee basically charges Danielson and admonishes him for the illegal tactic. Billy just shrugs, and says A.J. wasn’t worth his time.Billy goes to the corner, and lays across the top rope, watching Morales as he struggled to get to his feet. When A.J. looked like he was just at the right spot for another knee strike, Billy drops down and goes over towards Morales… only to get stopped in his tracks with—POW!—A.J. punches Billy in the mouth and makes the champ stumble towards the ropes. Shaking himself of the sucker punch, Danielson takes a wild swing, and all Morales has to do is sidestep and—BAM! F#QKIN’ SLAYERRRR! That superkick has the GOAT out on his feet, and Morales exploits it, running the ropes and—BOOM! Just lays Billy out with a 94 Blitz! That spear leads right into a cover...1!...2!...NEARFALL!

Morales has to keep his momentum going, so he begins to kick Billy in the head. Danielson starts to power through his kicks, so A.J. shoots behind Danielson and dropkicks him into the ropes. Danielson bounces off chest first, and stumbles backwards into—SMOKIN’ KOMBO!!! A.J. forgoes the bridge, as he kips up and delivers a sickening punt kick to Danielson’s head! Danielson is out, but you know A.J., he’s gotta take everything to the Nth Degree, and decides he’s gonna go to the top rope and finish Danielson off with an ode to his beloved wife. He looks ready to pounce, but Danielson scouts this, and rolls away before A.J. could even get off the turnbuckle. The Notta Hellcat is crafty though, so he almost runs across the top rope, until he his closer to Danielson, and leaps off for a flying Liberator or maybe a Super Diablade, who knows BECAUSE HE EATS THE 100TH CHICAGO BLACKOUT IN THIS MATCH!!! Both men collapse from exhaustion.

Danielson scoots over to the ropes farthest away from A.J.. He begins to yell at Morales’ unconscious body, telling him that he didn’t deserve this match, or this beating. He keeps saying “You could’ve been a Franchise Player” and things of that nature. Morales, clearly too glassy-eyed to give a shit what Billy is saying, kind of curls into a ball and looks at Billy. Danielson starts saying “It’s not too late, A.J.”, and reaches out his hand as a last chance for Morales to choose Billy’s side. A.J. instead, spits towards Danielson, and yells “Cóme mi culo, cabron”. Loose translation to anyone who didn’t pass Spanish 1 is “No”, and Danielson shrugs, as he pulled himself up to his feet and hit a running soccer kick right to the ribs of Morales.

It’s not a good run for Morales as the next few minutes are most the Mainstream World Heavyweight Champion bringing his knee into watever open body part Morales couldn’t block in that moment, followed by a few slams, and a really nasty Ura Nage made you wonder if Billy was back on the gas or not due to the aggression behind it. Morales somehow gets some distance between himself and Billy with a desperate shove. Danielson is right back on the attack—WHAM!— MORALES HITS A GOLDEN GOAL!!! Billy stumbles into the ropes as A.J. leaps up onto Billy’s chest—DROPSAULT— A.J. lands in a three point stance—94 BLITZ THROUGH THE ROPES!!! Morales kips up, feeling his surge of adrenaline for a minute as he stands tall.

Danielson tries to get to his feet, but he can’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground at this point. Morales throws him into the ring, and gets back in. He watches as Danielson gets to his feet, and rushes his—LIBERA-NO!— Danielson catches him in a fireman’s carry, but Billy is too sluggish to hit anything explosive, so Morales wiggles off of Billy’s shoulders, and shoves him into the ropes. Billy rebounds off of them towards Morales —LIBERAT-NO...AGAIN!!! Danielson ducks under it and hits the other ropes again, this time Danielson goes for a spear, BUT A.J. LEAP FROGS DANIELSON. Billy stumbles, but recovers to rebound one more time, as A.J. hopes that the third time truly is the charm—LIBERATO-NO AGAIN!!! Danielson does a catch-counters with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.

Morales spasm as Billy gets to his feet. He can’t seem to catch his breath, but he has the end in his sights it seems. He picks A.J. up, looking for maybe a ripcord Blackout, but Morales is able to counter the ripcord with a Sole Food! Danielson stumbles back, as he levels Danielson with a Diablade. A.J. Morales then gets behind Billy, looking for the Lethal Protector, but Danielson is able to snapmare A.J. away. A.J. rolls to his feet, not missing a single beat and almost predicting Danielson’s counter, and leaps onto the top rope. He turns around, looking for Diamond Killer, but Danielson is right there with the sidestep and the Chicago Blackout to take A.J. out of the sky for good. Danielson looks at Morales, and shakes his head. “You could’ve been better than this” Danielson says as he lifts Morales up, and delivers the Franchise.

Danielson looks at Morales, and shakes his head. He claims that A.J. was never worthy, and rolls out of the ring. The referee yells for Danielson to get back in the ring, but Billy grabs his title, and a microphone and says that if Robb Daniels wants a fighting champion, then he better start giving him people who deserve a shot at the champion, and then walks away. The official begins to count Billy out, and at around the 8 count is when Morales comes to and realizes what's going on. Danielson doesn’t even turn around, as the referee reaches the 10 count and signals for the bell to ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by count out is A.J.—MORALES!

CHARLES HUDSON:  He has him dead to rights Lou! He’s a cocky son of a b***h!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Billy Danielson just made a statement to A.J. Morales and sent a statement to Robb Daniels...

Danielson is walking up the aisle to the back but as he starts to open the curtain he takes a step back and Jacob Hammerstein steps through the curtain as Hammerstein looks like he’s seen a ghost. He takes a few steps back. Standing in a triangle is Julianna DiMaria the other finalist of the Emerald City Classic as the three are staring at each other.

CHARLES HUDSON:  These two are going to leave it all in the ring as they stand across from the winner of last years classic whom is now the World Heavyweight Champion.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Are they looking at their destiny? Which one of these two will be challenging for the World Championship? Will it be Julianna DiMaria our United States Champion or will it be Jacob Hammerstein? Tune in tomorrow night to find out!
