She steps forward in the ring with the spotlight on her with mixed reactions as Idol is awaiting the arrival of her tag team partner.

"Little Crazy" by Fight begins to play throughout the Key Arena when Eli Buchanan walks out from behind the curtain and onto the stage. He ignores the crowd and begins marching down the ramp.

SEMI-FINALS
TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT
Chris Andrew & Stephen Callaway
vs
Christina Idol & Eli Buchanan

As the bell sounds they both come in for a collar and elbow tie up but Callaway knees Christina in the gut and hits her repeatedly with right hands sending her into the corner.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Well there was a cheap shot! Christina should have known better than to fall for that!

CHARLES HUDSON: Early advantage for Stevie and Chris here. You pull out all stops for glory McKayla.

Christina lashes out at Callaway with a Right Hook but he ducks before grabbing her arm and lifting her with an Always Have An Angle Slam. He gets to his feet and removes imaginary straps and yelling "Magic Trick" for some reason before applying an Ankle Lock to Christina. She is too close to the ropes and reaches them almost instantly.

CHARLES HUDSON: Man if Idol wasn't so close to the ropes this one could have been over!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Callaway being an extra level of jerk off here tonight.

Callaway rushes towards Christina with a lariat but Idol grabs a handful of his trunks and tosses him through the middle and top turnbuckle shoulder first into the ring post.

Idol grabs Callaway by the head and pulls him to his feet before attempting a suplex but unable due to his size. Idol shoved him then begins hitting him with a repeated right hands. Idol stretches out her arms mocking Callaway then bounces of the ropes then dropping him with a diving shoulder block. She looks up in the rafters smiling before dropping a rolling knee on Callaway and goes for the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Payback early here for Idol. Now Callaway is in trouble!

Christina Idol slaps the mat and then tags in Buchanan. He whips Callaway into the ropes and catches him with a exploder suplex. Callaway lands close to Chris Andrew who is now the legal man. Chris and Eli lock horns in the middle of the ring. Buchanan gets the upper hand and locks him in side headlock. After a few elbow shots to the ribs, Andrew gets free and takes a dash to the ropes, knocking him down with a Sling Blade and makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Andrew picks Eli up for a suplex but Eli counters with a snapmare. He controls the head of Andrew as he tags Idol back in. Idol continues with repeated chops to the chest of Andrew with a right hand for good measure between each chop!
Idol holds the ropes sizing Andrew up from across the ring and drops him with a running bicycle kick to the face of Chris Andrew! Christina goes for the cover of 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Is it safe to say that Christina Idol possibly could be the most athletically gifted female in Seattle Pro.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Well I'm sure Ruby Lance could take that claim...and you can damn sure bet Coral Rose will take exception to that statement. Jesus don't say anything else...I've read enough of her complaining on Twitter lately.

CHARLES HUDSON: Just a matter of opinion. Calm down everyone...especially you Coral.

Idol drags Chris back into their corner as she makes the tag again.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Great quick tags keeping each other fresh here. These two have worked so well together.

Buchanan takes his time allowing Andrew to try some offense. He goes for a go behind but Eli reverses into a German suplex! He yells "Dazed and Confused," and points to the sky. Scooping Andrew up he hits a Northern Lights Bomb with a cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: This one is over!!

Callaway breaks the count and kicks Eli in the face for good measure. Eli picks Chris Andrew up looking for the Northern Lights again. But Andrew counters and plants Eli with a ddt! Both men are now down as they reach for the tag. They make the tag at the same time as Idol and Callaway meet in the center and start exchanging blows with Callaway obviously getting the advantage. Meanwhile both Eli and Chris are rolled to the outside and the fight is on!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Eli Buchanan and Chris Andrew really going to blows with each other here!!

The referee tries breaking them up but can't. Both men fight up the ramp leaving Christina Idol with Stevie Callaway. Idol is down as Steven again starts talking down to her.

CHARLES HUDSON: Eli and Andrew have fought each other to the back. Is this match still going on?

MCKAYLA LEWIS: There has to be a winner here!! A spot in the finals against Ruby and Hammerstein is on the line!

Callaway whips Idol into the post and charges but Christina moves!! Callaway hit the turnbuckle hard as Idol positions herself. She leaps off the top rope and nails a springboard STUNNER hooks the leg for 1...2...3!

Christina Idol stands pulling her hair back out of her face wincing at the thought of moving another step closer to the titles. The official raises her arm as the winner while Buchanan and Andrew are fighting backstage.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winners and advancing to the finales of the Tag Team Tournament...CHRISTINA IDOL and ELI—BUCHANAN!

Idol walks across the ring stepping on to the middle turnbuckle and raises both arms smiling. Callaway rolls under the bottom rope and outside of the ring. Idol steps down from the turnbuckle and rolls out of the ring while her music plays.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We now know that Christina Idol and her partner Eli Buchanan wherever he may be will partake in the Finals of the Tag Team Tournament at MAINSTREAM 5 to crown the FIRST EVER...Seattle Pro Tag Team Champions!

CHARLES HUDSON: You have to give credit to Chris Andrew and Stephen Callaway for being class acts in this tournament.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: After the break we’ll decide who will face Buchanan and Idol in the finals!

BACKSTAGE...
James Edwards stands alone in the interview area already dressed in his ring gear.

JAMES EDWARDS: Tonight ain't about wasting time, so I promise I won't take up much of your all's.

He takes a deep breath and carefully considers his words.

JAMES EDWARDS: I don't have many friends in this sport. I can count em' on one hand, but I was always okay with that because the friends I had were great people, especially my best friend. He gave his prize money to sick kids. He always had time to sign autographs even when I knew he was dog tired. He made me want to be a better man. Then he climbed a cage and made a mistake.

Edwards bites his lip and then sighs.

JAMES EDWARDS: I still don't know why he did it. He can rail about whatever but I don't buy any of it, I never will. He can cost me championships in Japan. He can say I'm a fraud because I'm not a hero, but at the end of the day he is just a pissed off guy who turned his back on the hard road because it didn't get him anywhere. So tonight I'm gonna make him walk the hard road. I'm not gonna let him breathe. I'm gonna hit him so hard his wife is gonna feel it, and then I'm gonna move on with my life because I'd rather have good memories then fight with whatever Jacob Hammerstein has become...

Jimmy Burns steps into the frame and stands alongside James Edwards.

JIMMY BURNS: Jacob turned his back on you and the fans when he joined the Horsemen but you can count on Jimmy Burns to have your back James. If I haven’t proven that to you thus far then I’ll do it again tonight when we win. What do you say?

JAMES EDWARDS: Let’s take care of business Jimmy.

Both Edwards and Burns leave the interview area as the scene fades out.

[Robert Daniels]

"Circus" by Britney Spears begins playing through the speakers as Ruby Lance struts her way out onto the stage and flips her hair as she swivels her way into a sideways stance at the top of the stage.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Introducing first, standing at five feet and one inch tall from Rose, Nebraska...RUBY LANCE!

She greets the fans with a bright, cheery smile and performs a little dip before skipping her way down to the ring. She interrupts her skip long enough to slap a few outstretched hands on her way. Hustling up the ring steps, she ducks into the ring under the middle rope and heads across the ring to step on the bottom rope for a photo op. Lance steps back as the lights dim and she awaits her tag team partner.

The lights in the arena dim as "American Monster" by Everclear plays. Jacob Hammerstein slowly walks through the curtain as the crowd boos.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing her partner weighing in at two hundred and forty six pounds and stands at six feet and one inch tall. From Mississippi the "American Monster"...JACOB--HAMMERSTEIN!

Hammerstein ignores the crowd as he walks down the aisle and enters the ring. He walks over to the corner and leans against the turnbuckles with a smug look.

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

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing their opponents. First 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 steps over to the side before pointing at the curtain tai waiting on his tag team partner.

"OKAY"

The house lights go down in the United Center as "My Name is Human" by Highly Suspect begins to play and the strobe lights move with the unpolished melody as James Edwards appears on the stage.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing his tag team partner. Weighing in at two hundred and four pounds and standing at five feet and nine inches tall. From Lexington, Kentucky he’s the Lion’s arias Heritage Heavyweight Champion. He’s the 'Burning Heart'...JAMES--EDWARDS!

Edwards makes his out onto the stage alongside Burns as the two men shake hands and walk together down to the ring. Burns removes his jacket and lays it over the top rope and sits his championship title down under the bottom turnbuckle before he and Edwards ascend the turnbuckle in opposite sides of the now empty ring while pandering to the Chicago fans.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Once again James Edwards and Jimmy Burns make their way to the ring together showing solidarity and forgoing the individual entrances.

SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT
SEMI-FINALS
Ruby Lance & Jacob Hammerstein
vs
Jimmy Burns & James Edwards

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tonight we decide who will make it to the finals of the tag tournament here in this match of two teams that worked very well together against a team previously that didn't.

CHARLES HUDSON: You can say the same thing about our other semi final match. I think we will see a fantastic contest here.

Burns and Lance start off. They lick up as Burns gets the upperhand on the shorter and lighter Ruby. He takes her down as Lance reaches the ropes forcing the break. Jimmy Burns smirks at Ruby as he allows her up.

They again lock up and again Burns takes down Ruby showing his experience edge over her. He puts her in a headlock and keeps it on allowing her to get up. She tries to push him off of her but Jimmy holds his ground and the headlock in. Finally he takes Ruby over in a takedown but Ruby counters with a leg scissors. Jimmy kicks out of it but Ruby beats him to their feet.

Burns swings wildly with a clothesline but Ruby ducks and hits the ropes. Burns turns around just in time for Ruby catch him with a flying headscissors! She's on her feet first and charges the recovering Burns to hop onto his shoulders in the electric chair position. She rolls forward and catches his legs for another cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Ruby looks for a repeat by racing back onto his shoulders but Burns looks to counter into a powerbomb position! But Ruby slips off his shoulders, catching him around the neck, and drops him with a DDT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Jimmy Burns playing around with Ruby early in this match! And it almost cost him and Edwards.

CHARLES HUDSON: Ruby Lance is advanced way more than her experience would suggest. She is an extremely talented young lady!

Ruby makes the tag.  Hammerstein comes but Jimmy catches him with a straight right hand. Burns whips Hammerstein into the ropes and bends over to hit a back body drop. Hammerstein leapfrogs him. As Burns straightens up, Hammerstein spins him around, kicks him in the stomach the drops him on his head with a Texas Piledriver. Hammerstein goes for the cover, but Edwards breaks the pinfall attempt.

CHARLES HUDSON: I'm amazed at this athleticism Jacob Hammerstein is now showcasing.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Burns is taking a beating here! If James Edwards doesn't get a tag in soon this is going to be over!

Ruby looks to whip Burns into the corner but he uses his strength advantage to send her crashing back-first into the turnbuckle! Burns rushes in and takes a raised boot to the face! Ruby immediately climbs the turnbuckle and flies with a moonsault press that takes Burns down! She goes right into a cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Ruby stays on Burns with stomps and forearm shots. She tries for another whip but once again Burns is too strong and sends her into the corner! Burns catches her foot this time and Ruby throws the other one up to crack him upside the head with a modified enziguri! Burns stumbles out of the corner and Ruby is back to the top rope. She leaps off with a diving hurricanrana that spikes him into the canvas! The force of the move throws Burns over close to Edwards who makes the tag.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: What a lucky break there for Jimmy. Edwards is now the legal man.

CHARLES HUDSON: You could say that was an inexperienced mistake but you are right. Jimmy burns was 99% lucky to get that tag.

James Edwards quickly gets in the ring and runs towards Ruby. Edwards ducks a forearm attempt by Ruby Lance and tags her with a flurry of open-handed slaps to the face. With her guard down, Edwards drops the smaller fighter with a stiff European uppercut to the jaw.

CHARLES HUDSON: Vicious strikes by Edwards. Was that really necessary?

MCKAYLA LEWIS: James showing that intensity here as he slows down the match. Now his team is in control.

Edwards makes the tag back to Burns. With Lance on her knees, Edwards directs Jimmy Burns to one corner while he takes another. Edwards comes flying in with a knee strike to the front while Burns drills Lance in the back of her skull with a superkick.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Oh good grief what an assault here!

Burns goes for the cover but Hammerstein breaks it up right at 2. The referee pushes Jacob back obviously upset at Ruby getting struck like she has been as Burns tags Edwards back in. James grabs her by the hair but Ruby showing her heart starts fighting back. Edwards eats forearm strikes from Lance. He revs up and snatches the smaller wrestler, running her back into a corner. The collision knocks the wind out of Lance. Edwards starts to drive his shoulder into her midsection. The official has to drag him away just to check on Lance.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: God Lance is taking a beating here.

CHARLES HUDSON: I'm getting word backstage that it's taking half the roster to hold Scotty Latimer back! Robb Daniels has forced him into a room backstage preventing him from coming out here!

Edwards picks Ruby’s limp body up and holds her up. Suddenly Ruby knees him in the midsection and plants a neckbreaker!! The crowd pops and starts cheering loudly!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ruby has Edwards down!! My God what heart she has!

CHARLES HUDSON: And here is her chance to make the tag!

Ruby crawls over as Edwards tags in Burns. Jimmy reaches Lance but it's too late as she makes the tag to Hammerstein. Jacob leaps in and nails Burns with a forearm shot. Hammerstein leans Burns against the ropes and lights his chest up with several knife edge chops. He then takes a few steps back, gets a running start, and hits a Cactus Clothesline, taking them both over the top rope. Burns hits the floor hard, while Hammerstein lands on the apron in a seated position. Hammerstein hops off the apron and walks over to the steel ring steps. He separates them and sets them side by side, then grabs Burns and body slams him hard on them. Hammerstein climbs back up on the apron and crushes Jimmy with a rolling senton on the steps. He rolls Burns into the ring. Hammerstein climbs in only to be met with a superkick by Edwards. He knocks Hammerstein down as Burns slowly crawls to tag in James that is back on the apron!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Man Edwards wants this! He is pulling out all the stops here!

Burns is up...Jimmy Burns drops Hammerstein with a stunner, his old finisher! Hammerstein lands on his bottom and is immediately hit with a Violent Gospel by Edwards. He covers Hammerstein but Lance breaks up the pin!! Edwards gives Burns a why did you not stop her look but Jimmy was suffering effects from the toll the match has had on him. James and Jimmy argue for a few allowing Hammerstein to recover. Hammerstein meets Edwards with a hard right hand as both men exchange punches.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Hammerstein and Edwards are going at it!

CHARLES HUDSON: What is Burns doing?

Burns reaches out and makes a blind tag. James Edwards was just getting the advantage as he knocks Hammerstein back! He turns to yell at Jimmy but Hammerstein knocks Edwards into Burns. Edwards topples over the top and slams his head on the ring apron on his way down!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Edwards head just smacked the apron. I think he's knocked out.

CHARLES HUDSON: Burns is legal!

Jimmy Burns charges Hammerstein and gets a power slam for his efforts. He picks Burns up.  Hammerstein tags Ruby in and hits Burns with a reverse atomic drop, while Ruby runs the ropes and hits The Beautiful Disaster bicycle knee strike. Burns hits the mat hard and is going nowhere as Ruby makes the cover for 1...2...3!

Ruby pushes herself up off the mat and celebrates along with Jacob Hammerstein inside the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winners and advancing to the finals of the Tag Team Tournament...RUBY LANCE AND JACOB—HAMMERSTEIN!

The official steps between both Lance and Hammerstein raising both of their arms in the air as the two celebrate while James Edwards pulls Burns out of the ring and helps him stand and the two make there way up the aisle. Hammerstein exits the ring followed by Lance.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen it’s official. At MAINSTREAM 5 in Los Angeles it will be Eli Buchanan and Christina Idol facing Jacob Hammerstein and Ruby Lance to crown the inaugural Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions!

CHARLES HUDSON: It’s remarkable how far this company has come in a calendar years time!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: After the break Samantha Kinsley will speak with Robb Daniels backstage then Blake Mitchell challenges Scotty Latimer for the Seattle Pro Pride Championship!

BACKSTAGE...
SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Please Welcome...Robb Daniels.

Daniels steps into the frame alone smiling and greets Kinsley.

ROBB DANIELS: Thank you Sam!

SAMANTHA KINSLEY:
Mr. Daniels so far tonight we’ve already seen Eli Buchanan and Christina Idol advance to the finals of the Tag Team Tournament at MAINSTREAM 5. Are you happy with the tournament itself?

ROBB DANIELS: Establishing a Tag Team division was not on the top of my priorities but the fans spoke and I listened. We may not have a lot of tag teams but it’s amazing how people will come together to accomplish a common goal. Hence the reason for the lethal lottery random pairings. Eli Buchanan debuted at MAINSTREAM 4 alongside Christina Idol and those two have clicked...

Daniels looks up and shakes his head as he’s now joined by Jacob Hammerstein and Ruby Lance.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: You can stack the deck however you like Robb but the stage is set. In two weeks Ruby and I will dominate Christina and Eli then leave Los Angeles as the new Tag Team Champions...

ROBB DANIELS: Is that right...

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: You’re damn right...Right Ruby...

She runs her fingers through her hair and looks around.

RUBY LANCE: I am just really grateful for such an amazing opportunity to become the first ever Seattle Pro Tag Team Champions. Hammer has been a phenomenal partner.

ROBB DANIELS: See now. Why can’t you be as appreciative and selfless as Ruby? If I was her I couldn’t deal with your newfound attitude.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: I see what you’re doing Daniels...trying to turn us against each other just like you’ve tried with the Midnight Horsemen.

ROBB DANIELS: Maybe you should hit the showers before this conversation leads to so many of ours have here lately with things we say and regret later. Okay.

Hammerstein snarls before he and Lance walk out of the frame and Kinsley steps back into the picture.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: I am sorry about that Mr. Daniels. I was unaware that...

ROBB DANIELS: Don’t sweat it Sam. I’m use to bad attitudes from the Midnight Horsemen.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: At Conflict we saw Bryan Blaze defeat Billy Danielson to become the new Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion. What is the latest on Billy?

ROBB DANIELS: Let me say this...Billy Danielson has been cleared to compete. He did not suffer any injuries during the match against Blaze besides a bruised ego. Billy Danielson will open the show in two weeks inside the historic Staples Center in Los Angeles for MAINSTREAM 5. He’ll have a live microphone to address the fans and comment on his loss at CONFLICT.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Billy Danielson returns to Seattle Pro at MAINSTREAM 5 in two weeks. Anything else you would like to add?

ROBB DANIELS: Coral Rose will face either Bryan Blaze or Johnny Amazing for the Heavyweight Championship in the Main Event but the Pride Championship will also be defended along with AJ Knight making his first defense of the Endurance Championship. Not to mention more details on the Seattle Pro 1 Year Anniversary Show taking place on Saturday December 23rd at MAINSTREAM 6. Thank you Sam.

Daniels turns and walks out of the frame as the shot comes in tighter on Kinsley.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: McKayla and Charles...back to you.

[Robert Daniels]

Darkness falls over the arena as "Beast" by Nico Vega plays and a white spotlight shines on the entry way.

[SAINT!]
[SAINT!]
[SAINT!]

Blake Mitchell steps from behind the curtain and walks towards the ring while the spotlight follows him to the ring. After sliding to the ring under the ropes he removes his jacket and tries to excite the fans as they cheer loudly for him.

“Dirty Angel” begins to play as the MODA Center immediately begins booing Latimer heavily when he steps from behind the curtain holding the Pride Championship in his arms before unfastening the straps and tossing it over his shoulder.

Latimer walks slowly down the aisle and to the ring forcing the audience to wait for Him. He wants the fans to enjoy the beauty of Latimer and takes his time so they can soak it in. Finally he gets to the ring and slowly steps onto the apron entering the ring and holding the Pride Championship while mocking Mitchell from across the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is for one fall and it is for the Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Championship! Introducing first the challenger weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds and standing at six feet and two inches tall from Seattle, Washington. He's known as the "Emerald City Saint"...BLAKE MITCHELL!

Mitchell holds up one hand waving at the fans and then points at Scotty Latimer whom is clutching to the Pride Championship.

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

Latimer extends both arms posing for the fans as he received a terrible reception from the fans he then follows with holding the championship over his head then holding it close and pointing at it smiling across the ring at Mitchell and laughing.

Scotty Latimer (C) vs Blake Mitchell

The bell sounds and Scotty Latimer stands in the middle of the ring and pulls the belt away from the referee before he can hand it off. He looks down at it holding the Pride Championship. Mitchell approaches Latimer and the official but Latimer then begins taunting Mitchell with the title. Mitchell jaws back at him motioning it will be around his waist soon. Scotty then abruptly hands the belt to Mitchell and as he looks down at it unexpectedly Scotty takes full advantage and nailed him with a stiff forearm shot knocking Mitchell down to the mat.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Cheap shot by the Pride Champion.

CHARLES HUDSON: It’s tactics like that is why he’s been able to keep the championship for as long as he has.

Latimer begins putting the boots to Mitchell and screams in his face ‘that was as close as he’ll ever get to his championship title’. Latimer is down on one knee hitting his own forearm against the forehead of Mitchell attempting to cause as much pain and discomfort as possible.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This all started back at ENVY in March when Mitchell beat Latimer clean in his debut yet Latimer claims it was a fast count all year long.

CHARLES HUDSON: Mitchell brushed that off like it was nothing but he didn’t forget the interference by Latimer, Hammerstein and Mason Moore at MAINSTREAM when he damn near won the Heavyweight Championship!

Latimer sits Mitchell up and locks in a sleeper hold from behind and Mitchell swings his arms trying to reach for the ropes but he’s just too far away. Mitchell mounts some leverage pushing back against Latimer and somehow make it to one knee and Latimer holds on but this time into a side headlock. Mitchell shoves Latimer off into the ropes and follows him with a hard clothesline in desperation nearly turning him inside out. Mitchell hooks the leg for 1...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Latimer kicks out after one following that hard clothesline.

Mitchell is first to his feet and he lifts Latimer up nailing punches to the abdomen before lifting him up for an atomic drop. Latimer holds to his groin leaning against the top rope. Mitchell hits Latimer across the back with a forearm and shoves him face first into the corner. He grabs Latimer by the back of the head and begins hitting Latimer’s face against the top turnbuckle while the official is count 1...2...3...4...Mitchell pulls him backwards avoiding the five count.

CHARLES HUDSON: How many times have we seen Blake Mitchell almost win the Heavyweight Championship this year? Time after time something steps between him and destiny but I️ think he’s going to break his string of bad luck tonight.

Latimer kneeling on both knees is pleading for Mitchell to back away but he smiles grabbing him by the back of the neck and rearing back to punch him but Latimer punches him hard in the stomach. Following by a chop to the chest as he begins to stand. Mitchell returns with a chop to the chest of Latimer. Mitchell bounces off the ropes running at full speed.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Eight Months ago Latimer couldn’t lace up Mitchell’s boots but he’s come along away and these two men are dangerous equals to one another.

SCOTTY LATIMER: I️ disagree Lou. If there is no interference tonight then Mitchell is leaving Chicago with the Pride Championship. Mark it down!

Both men are going at an extremely high pace but Mitchell goes for a clothesline that Scotty ducks. He kicks Blake in the stomach and hooks him up. He hooks him into a snap suplex and floats over and locks in a dragon sleeper. After briefly struggling Blake Mitchell makes it to the ropes and the referee calls for a break!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Latimer looking for the submission in this match.

CHARLES HUDSON: Mitchell was looking for a second clothesline but it was not to be. He’s looking to decapitate the Pride Champion, Scotty Latimer.

Scotty tosses Blake between the ropes and outside of the ring to the floor. Latimer climbs up to the top turnbuckle and stalks Mitchell waiting for him to make it to his feet then leaps off with a moonsault onto the standing Blake Mitchell who catches him and both men fall the the floor.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The crowd shows its appreciation for Latimer’s athleticism.

Both Latimer and Mitchell are The bell sounds and Scotty Latimer stands in the middle of the ring and pulls the belt away from the referee before he can hand it off.

Both men are going at an extremely high pace but Mitchell goes for a clothesline that Scotty ducks. He kicks Blake in the stomach and hooks him up. He hooks him into a snap suplex and floats over and locks in a dragon sleeper. After briefly struggling Blake Mitchell makes it to the ropes and the referee calls for a break!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Latimer looking for the submission in this match.

CHARLES HUDSON: Mitchell was looking for a second clothesline but it was not to be. He’s looking to decapitate the Pride Champion, Scotty Latimer.

Scotty tosses Blake between the ropes and outside of the ring to the floor. Latimer climbs up to the top turnbuckle and stalks Mitchell waiting for him to make it to his feet then leaps off with a moonsault onto the standing Blake Mitchell who catches him and both men fall the the floor.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The crowd shows its appreciation for Latimer’s athleticism.

Both Latimer and Mitchell are down on the outside of the ring. The official begins to count 1...2...3...4...5...6...Latimer gets to his feet and pulls Mitchell up by the trunks and his head to roll him under the bottom rope and into the ring. Latimer follows and makes a cover on Mitchell for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: He waited too long to make the cover. A move like that couldn’t have put anybody away but he laid for too long outside of the ring catching his breath.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I️ agree Charles but he is in full control of this match at this point.

Latimer rolls over and pushes himself up off one knee. He steps back into the corner and pushes himself up into a seated position on the top turnbuckle and dives off with a knee drop onto Mitchell and tucks his head rolling out of the way and back to a knee. Latimer then makes a cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He must have thought this was going to be a cake walk by the look on his face.

CHARLES HUDSON: He was dead wrong. The Emerald City Saint won’t go down without a fight!

Latimer begins stomping at Mitchell until he actually catches the foot of Latimer and tosses it upward causing him to lose his balance and he falls onto his backside. Mitchell rolls over holding to his chest and abdomen. Latimer stands up and the two men come in with a collar and elbow tie up. They struggle momentarily until Latimer locks in another side headlock then Mitchell takes him down with a drop toe hold followed by a Fujiwara arm bar!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This is a game changer Charles! Latimer in the center of the ring with no where to go.

CHARLES HUDSON: I️ told you this was going to happen before the match was even underway.

Latimer rolls over freeing the off hand enough to fall onto his back causing Mitchell to lose leverage.
He looks for a seated arm bar but Latimer gets caught in the ropes causing the referee to break the two up. Mitchell begins pumping up the crowd with both arms. He grabs Latimer and pulls him in under his arm and lifts him with a stalling brain buster Suplex and makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Mitchell showing off his strength with the stalling Suplex!

CHARLES HUDSON: It took a bit but we all saw Blake Mitchell turn it around here tonight and he’s back in control.

Blake Mitchell lifts Scotty Latimer up and pulls him in looking for his version of the sunset flip pile driver but he hesitates thinking he is in control meanwhile Latimer comes up with one quick motion shoving Mitchell in the chest and follows with a v trigger knee strike under the chin that knocks Mitchell back. He then lifts Mitchell back up and stun guns him!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: At CONFLICT it was Billy Danielson and Jacob Hammerstein losing the Heavyweight and Endurance Championships for the Horsemen. Could it be Scotty Latimer’s last night as Pride Champion tonight?

Mitchell lies in a vulnerable position on the mat as Scotty Latimer leaps to the top turnbuckle again and he launches himself up high off the top rope and nails an elbow drop to the sternum and makes the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: He tried to beat him with his own move. Everyone knows the big elbow drop off the top rope is Mitchell’s signature Space Needle!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Scotty Latimer is finally starting to show signs of frustration here tonight.

Mitchell is doubles over laying on the mat showing the pain caused by the elbow drop to the sternum. He shakes it off and pulls himself up using the middle rope. Latimer is quickly back on the offensive but Mitchell kicks him in the stomach. Pulls him in and drops him with a sunset flipping pile driver! Latimer with ring awareness rolls under the bottom rope and hits the floor. Mitchell signs and pushes himself up with two clinched fists.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Had Mitchell been able to make the cover following that one then he’s the new champion.

Mitchell exits the ring and lifts Latimer up and back into the ring. He pulls him just far enough from the ropes so he can’t get a rope breaks from the pin but instead Blake begins climbing to the top rope and comes off with the SPACE NEEDLE! He nails it picture perfect but doesn’t immediately follow up with the cover. He favors his shoulder at first then crawls on top of Latimer and the referee begins to count the 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Blake Mitchell is absolutely beside himself.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I️ am too Charles. I️ am too. I️ just knew it was over!

Mitchell stands holding to his bicep and shoulder as he steps through the ropes and climbs up again to the top turnbuckle but this time taking longer. Scotty Latimer is on his feet and with a rush of adrenaline knocks the standing Blake Mitchell down onto the turnbuckle. Latimer ascends the turnbuckle, lifts Mitchell up and delivers the LATIMER DRIVER 69 from the top rope down onto the match and he makes the cover hooking the leg for 1...2...3!

Latimer rolls over onto his back and is handed the Pride Championship by the official. He’s breathing heavily while lying adjacent to Mitchell.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner and STILL Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...SCOTTY—LATIMER!

Latimer pushes himself up and stands in the center of the ring while the referee grabs his wrist and raises his arm in victory. Meanwhile Blake Mitchell sits up and pushes himself back into the corner before pulling himself up to his feet holding to the back of his neck while Latimer looks over at him with a blank look on his face, no emotion, no smile, sarcasm just looking at the man who had pushed him to his limit.

CHARLES HUDSON: You have to give the man credit. I️ picked against him before the match but I️ was wrong. Scotty Latimer fought hard tonight and won this match by himself. This is one to be proud of...no pun intended.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: It was a clean bout with no outside interference and your right Charles this is one that Latimer can hang his hat on. He defended the title successfully and avenged his loss to Mitchell in March. Could the Midnight Horsemen be looking at their new leader with Billy Danielson now the former Heavyweight Champion?

Mitchell walks up to Latimer respectfully. No animosity or anger just man to man and extends his hand and Latimer without hesitation reciprocates the handshake and Mitchell exits the ring allow my Latimer to continue celebrating.

CHARLES HUDSON: There is no appointed leader in the Midnight Horsemen but everyone looks to the champions with respect, for guidance. Right now Scotty Latimer
might just be the top champ in the Midnight Horsemen.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Next we’re going to get a word from Coral Rose the number one contender for the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship after this next commercial break.

Mitchell is show walking up the aisle and out of view with the last few moments showing Latimer holding up the title and exiting the ring as the show goes to commercial.

BACKSTAGE...
Coral Rose is standing with her own personal interviewer for the Horsemen, Serenity Miles. Even though Coral doesn’t have a match, she is present to see who she will face at MAINSTREAM 5. Coral looks at Serenity and smiles lightly.

SERENITY MILES: Hello everyone, I'm Serenity Miles, and I'm here with Coral Rose, the number one contender to the Heavyweight Championship. Coral, I know a lot of people are surprised you didn't go on a rant when it was announced Johnny Amazing was getting a shot at the Heavyweight title before you were. Yet you were silent, even just saying you would be there to see who you will be facing. Why is that?

Coral laughs lightly.

CORAL ROSE: Really what can I say, there was no reason for me to rant. I have my shot no matter what. It's not like it was said I was guaranteed the next shot, just was I get the shot at Mainstream 5. Perhaps my eyes have opened to up to possibility of actually becoming the Heavyweight Champion Queen really should act like, how a possible heavyweight champion should act.

SERENITY MILES: You might be right. Do you think you will win the title at Mainstream 5? Also who are you hoping wins tonight?

CORAL ROSE: Easy I hope Bryan Blaze wins. I want a one on one with him. He didn't pin me in the finals, he pinned Mark Storm. I want to see if I can beat him. Do I think I can, honestly maybe, maybe not. I just know I will go in, and try to win.

Serenity nods her head.

SERENITY MILES: Do you think you can face him, and the rest of the Horsemen not get involved?

Coral shakes her head and sighs.

CORAL ROSE: Honestly I rather them not get involved in the match. That is what everyone is expecting, and I just rather them not. I need to win it on my own if I win. This is more than just winning it as a Horsemen, bringing it back to the Horsemen maybe. It comes down to I need to do it for myself, to prove I can be taken serious, I can be something. I need to do it to prove everyone wrong who has doubted me.

SERENITY MILES: I really hope you can do it. Is there anything else you have to say?

Coral shakes her head.

CORAL ROSE: Not really, anything else would just be repeating myself, and it's not worth doing, more so without knowing who I will be facing. Just hope they both know I will be watching the match closely.

SERENITY MILES: Thank you for taking the time Coral. Good luck at Mainstream.

Coral nods and walks away.

[Robert Daniels]

Strobe lights flicker on and off randomly about the stage in time with the stuttering music before an explosion of light engulfs the stage!

Johnny Amazing pushes his way through the curtain with a ball of energy as he soaks in the reaction from his hometown crowd! He walks around the stage looking out at the SOLDOUT United Center with a huge smile on his face before his eyes settle on the ring in the distance.

Amazing extends two fingers down the aisle and clicks his thumb before taking off in a sprint. He leaps feet first under the bottom rope, sliding in on his back and up to one knee and stands with one foot on the bottom rope and the other resting on the second leaning over the top rope exciting his hometown. Amazing steps back and awaits the arrival of his opponent.

“Indestructible” by Disturbed begins to play throughout the United Center. Bryan Blaze appears on stage with a Military-style jacket and ring attire to match. He salutes the crowd as they scream with mixed reactions for the new Heavyweight Champion.

As Blaze reaches ringside, he stops in his tracks. He walks up the ring stairs, and steps inside the ropes as he lifts the Heavyweight Championship over his head as he is about to make his first defense as champion.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for one fall and is for the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first the challenger from...CHICAGO—ILLINOIS! Weighing in at two hundred and ten pounds and standing at six feet and one inch tall....JOHNNY—AMAZING!

Amazing turns and throws open both arms receiving a warm reception from the Chicago fans before turning to smile and nod at Blaze.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the champion. Weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds he’s standing at six feet and four inches tall. He is the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion…BRYAN—BLAZE!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This is the first defense for Bryan Blaze as the Heavyweight Champion and he will have his work cut out for him facing the fan favorite Johnny Amazing.

CHARLES HUDSON: You’re absolutely right Lou. In what is his first defense could be his only...as this match is for one fall and Amazing is no slouch.

MAIN EVENT
SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Bryan Blaze (C) vs Johnny Amazing

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This arena is electric tonight for this match. Bryan Blaze is a huge popular star here in Seattle Pro. This climb to the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship got every single one of these fans behind him.

CHARLES HUDSON: But we're in Amazing country, dear. Johnny Amazing is a multi-time champion outside of Seattle Pro and he is Chicago's own. While that doesn't take away from Blaze's fans, it certainly has to get into his head a little here tonight.

The two men meet in the center of the ring where the hometown challenger offers his hand to the champion similar to the last time they met in this very arena. Blaze looks skeptical at first, looking out to either side of the crowd for their input before he cautiously reaches out… and this time Amazing just smiles as he shakes his hand. Sportsmanship out of the way, they circle one another before colliding in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up that sees the two men jockeying for position. They push and pull one another in and out of the ropes before they push off of one another to break the hold and a staredown ensues. The crowd applauds.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: An intense start with neither man able to gain any ground over the other. They're evenly matched in size and skill, and as you pointed out in popularity here tonight.

CHARLES HUDSON: I have a feeling we will see the crowd shift back and forth as each man fights for the upper hand here in this match. Regardless of the outcome, I see these fans being thoroughly entertained and satisfied with the result.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The same cannot be said for Bryan Blaze who earlier this week stated that he needs this win just as badly as his title win over Billy Danielson at Conflict. He says he's fighting for a tomorrow and if he loses that it may not be there for him. That's eerily cryptic.

Amazing and Blaze engage in a second collar and elbow tie-up with the challenger quickly shifting his weight to cinch in a side headlock. Blaze, however, quickly backs him into the ropes and shoves him off. Amazing keeps his momentum hitting the ropes on the opposite side and whiplashing back. Blaze looks for a clothesline but Amazing ducks and keeps going hitting the ropes again. This time on the rebound, Blaze leapfrogs Amazing and as he turns both men look for a Dropkick, finding nothing but each other's feet. Once again, the crowd applauds the stalemate.

CHARLES HUDSON: Our fans are applauding the even skill set that you alluded to earlier, McKayla, but neither man will win this encounter by matching the other. One will have to break ahead and whichever man can do that will no doubt be the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion.

On a third attempt at a collar and elbow tie-up, Blaze surprises Amazing with a Knee Strike to the abdomen, followed by a stiff double Ax Handle to the small of the back. Amazing hits the canvas. Blaze quickly hits the ropes, aiming a front Dropkick for the face of his opponent but Amazing rolls out of the way. With both men to their feet, Amazing throws a right hand, connecting on the Champion’s jaw. Blaze answers back with a right of his own. Right by Amazing. Right by Blaze. Right by Amazing! Right by Blaze! With each punch, the answer is quicker, until both men are going at lightning speed! Amazing seems to get the better of the exchange as Blaze seems rocked and Amazing is able to land three consecutive shots and has Blaze reeling. He goes for a clothesline, but Blaze ducks and hits the Pele Kick, seemingly out of desperation! Amazing falls to the mat. Blaze is the first to his feet and he finds Amazing on one knee-Roundhouse kick right on the jaw! Amazing falls straight back and Blaze scampers into the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: There is Blaze attempting do exactly as you stated and break ahead. He almost saw a victory there.

CHARLES HUDSON: He needs to keep on the gas if he's going to leave here tonight with his title around his waist.

The champion is in firm control now and he meets the dazed challenger as soon as he gets to his feet, locking him up in a front facelock! Blaze goes for his Combustion finisher (DDT into guillotine) but Amazing comes alive at the last second and pushes him off! Blaze uses the momentum to spring off the ropes with the Heatwave springboard enziguri! Amazing ducks! He runs and springs off the ropes to blast Blaze in the face with the Blank Point springboard kick to the face. Amazing makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

The champion immediately rolls out to the apron and tries to shake his head clear. Amazing gives chase, looking to drag Blaze back into the ring. Blaze drags Amazing through the top and middle rope to score with a battering of knees to the sternum! Amazing goes limp across the middle rope and Blaze backs up, running the apron to blast Amazing upside the face with a low dropkick! Blaze rolls back into the ring and drags Amazing out of the ropes. He makes another cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: That was an impressively brutal barrage from the champion there. I know these two men have a friendly relationship, but seeing that shows me that Blaze has what it takes to be the Heavyweight Champion here in Seattle Pro.

MCKALYA LEWIS: A nearfall from the champion there and you're right, Charles. We've seen the level of respect these two have for one another, but at the end of the day respect won't win you the title.

Amazing crawls into the corner and Blaze gives chase only to eat a back elbow! Blaze tries it again and double boots are thrown up into his chin! Amazing bursts out of the corner and scores with double boots to the chest, sending Blaze flying backwards! Blaze crawls into the opposite corner and starts to pull himself up as the hometown challenger is starting to feel it. The crowd is on their feet for what they know is about to come. Amazing backs into his corner and bolts across the ring for an old school Ama-ZING kick corner Yakuza kick but Blaze slips out to the apron!

Amazing catches himself on the ropes and leaves his feet with high kick upside the back of Blaze's skull to send him tumbling off the apron! Amazing leaps the ropes to land on the apron and he lines up a Blank Shot taunt at Blaze. He clicks his thumb just as Blaze gets to his feet and he runs the apron. Amazing nails Blaze right in the teeth with an Ama-ZING 2.0 running apron kick! Amazing soaks up the response from his hometown crowd and encourages Blaze back to his feet. He flies off the apron with double knees, riding Blaze's collarbones down to the ringside floor! The champion is fed back into the ring and Amazing scales the turnbuckle. The challenger takes to the skies again, scoring with a second set of double knees that takes Blaze back down to the canvas! Amazing reaches back to hook a leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: What a marvelous series of offense from the challenger! Dare I say, Amazing?

MCKALYA LEWIS: Showing why he is a multi-time champion but he's in there with Seattle Pro's very best and it's going to take a lot more than an amazing display of offense to keep down Seattle Pro's very own.

Blaze and Amazing are up to their feet at the same time and Blaze swings wildly, and misses as Amazing ducks. Quickly he hits a dropkick on Blaze, knocking him into a near corner. As Amazing closes in on Blaze, Blaze fires up with a series of punches to the head! Amazing backs up and fires forward with a shoulder thrust, but Blaze leaps up and catches him in a sunset flip for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Blaze quickly hits the ropes, aiming a crossbody at his challenger but again, Amazing ducks and Blaze hits the canvas, sliding right out of the ring. Amazing grabs the top rope, slingshotting over the top as Blaze stands...Blaze connects with a right hand in mid air!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Amazing is quicker than a hiccup but Blaze is on fire!

CHARLES HUDSON: Clever play on words, my dear. However, there is little that needs to be said about that closed fist that stunted Amazing's offense.

Looking frustrated, Blaze picks Amazing up, and whips him shoulder-first into the steel steps! He quickly grabs his challenger, tossing him back into the ring and climbs onto the apron as dueling chants of "LET'S GO BRY-AN! AH-MAY-ZING!" kick into high gear. He springboards up to the top-450 Splash followed by a hook of the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: A beautiful 450 splash from our champion but still Amazing isn't done for!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Johnny says the fans are what makes him Amazing and that's bad news for Blaze here in Chicago.

Blaze looks frustrated but quickly shakes it off. He climbs to the top turnbuckle once again, as his challenger climbs to his feet. Blaze leaps off, but Amazing has the presence of mind to charge the corner, allowing Blaze to land in front of him. As Blaze hits the canvas on his feet, Amazing catches him in a rear waistlock-GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE CORNER!!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: A devastating German suplex into the turnbuckle! That's going to derail Blaze's momentum in a big way!

CHARLES HUDSON: Bryan Blaze better hope Johnny Amazing needs a breather right now because that took a lot out of the champion.

The champion looks completely out of it in and the corner, and Amazing lifts his limp body up and onto his shoulders...he drops him hard on his neck with a Death Valley Driver! Amazing signals to the crowd that he's got more coming and he delivers by backing up first then gets a running start to SPLASH Blaze with a Free Sail Standing Star Press! The crowd is out of their seats as Amazing hooks both of Blaze's legs for 1…2…NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Amazing cannot believe it and neither can the Chicago crowd!

CHARLES HUDSON: Incredible! Bryan Blaze just kicked out of Johnny Amazing's finisher and what did I tell you? These Chicago fans, Amazing's supporters, are cheering for the Seattle Pro Champion!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: These are Seattle Pro fans too! They love and respect Bryan Blaze and he's giving them every reason to right now!

Amazing questions the ref a couple hundred times before his own frustrations start to show. He motions for Blaze to get to his feet, stalking the fan favorite Seattle Pro champion as he rises up in something of a daze. Blaze turns around and Amazing catches him up for an Amazing Bomber-NO! Blaze shoves him off! Amazing rebounds off the ropes into a toe kick and THE BURN Stunner! Amazing bounces off the canvas and rolls under the ropes, falling to the ringside floor as Blaze collapses out of exhaustion in the middle of the ring!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The Burn! A huge momentum changer but Amazing bounced clear out of the ring!

CHARLES HUDSON: Unfortunate for Blaze who is still trying to get his own head back into this game. He needed an immediate cover there but it's not going to happen.

The ref checks on both guys and has no choice but to start a dual ten count. One for Amazing outside the ring and one for Blaze unable to get to his feet! He gets to the count of six before Blaze pulls himself up to his feet with the use of the ropes. He notices the count not stopping and he contemplates his next move until the count of eight where he slides out of the ring to lift the dead weight of Amazing and shove him back into the ring! Blaze crawls into the cover for 1…2…KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Blaze can't believe it! He grits his teeth and pounds the canvas in frustration.

CHARLES HUDSON: There you see that Blaze could have taken a count-out victory but that's not the kind of champion he wants to be.

Blaze takes a deep breath and pulls himself up to the top turnbuckle while calling the hometown challenger to his feet. Amazing is on dream street right now as he stumbles around the ring almost looking drunk when he turns and Blaze flies with Third Degree Diving DDT from top rope! NO! Amazing catches Blaze and LAUNCHES him with a Northern Lights Suplex! Amazing flips through and hoists Blaze off the canvas directly into a vertical suplex powerslam! Amazing hooks one leg and grapevines the other while driving his forearm into his face and makes the cover for
1…2…KICKOUT!

Amazing falls back onto the mat and is beyond frustrated as the crowd chants "THIS IS AWESOME!"

MCKAYLA LEWIS: These Chicago fans are letting both men hear their appreciation for this incredible contest! Bryan Blaze and Johnny Amazing are giving them everything they have all for the sake of the Heavyweight title!

CHARLES HUDSON: Both men have an answer for everything the other throws at them but none of those answers are enough to keep the other down!

With Amazing still shaking his head, he lifts himself off the canvas. Meanwhile, Blaze still appears to be on dream street as he stumbles to his feet. Amazing grabs him in another reverse waistlock, looking for another German Suplex-but Blaze backflips and lands on his feet! He leaps, catching Amazing in the back of the head with an enziguri! Blaze quickly hits the ropes, and as Amazing is on one knee, Blaze runs past hitting the ropes once again-CLOTHESLINE FROM NO! Amazing ducks and leaps backward, planting Blaze with a leaping neckbreaker! He scrambles into the pin for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Counter for counter ending with a huge neckbreaker but the never say die attitude of the champion is well on display here tonight!

Once again Amazing is in utter disbelief of the Champion’s resilience. He picks Blaze up off the canvas, placing him on the top turnbuckle. Amazing follows him up and leaves his feet looking for a Frankensteiner-Blaze grabs hold of the top rope, sending Amazing crashing to the canvas! Blaze lies in wait as his challenger tries to regain his bearings...THIRD DEGREE! Blaze spikes Amazing’s head into the mat! However, Blaze is so exhausted from all the punishment he has absorbed, he's unable to follow it up with a pin!

CHARLES HUDSON: That top rope DDT from Blaze may be the final nail in the coffin if only he can capitalize!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Both men have taken an extraordinary amount of punishment in this match and unfortunately it's caught up with Bryan Blaze!

Surprisingly, both Blaze and Amazing reach their feet at about the same time. Blaze rocks Amazing with a right hand! Amazing falls into the ropes, nailing Blaze with a back elbow! Blaze falls into the ropes and comes back with a roundhouse kick, finding Amazing right in the jaw! Amazing slams into the ropes again, hitting Blaze with an enziguiri! Both men are down again! Amazing slowly rolls under the bottom rope and onto the apron as Blaze stumbles to his feet inside the ring. Amazing gets to his feet on the apron and immediately springboards onto the top rope, flying towards Blaze looking for a clothesline-THE BURN! Blaze caught him in midair then makes another cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

This time, it is Blaze who falls back onto the mat in frustration.

CHARLES HUDSON: OH MY GOD! How on EARTH did Johnny Amazing kick out of that?!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: It's becoming clearer by the moment, that if anyone wants the title as badly as Bryan Blaze, it's Johnny Amazing!

The frustrated Heavyweight Champion is moving and Amazing is not. Blaze heads to the top rope, calling for the end, before he soars in a flurry of flashbulbs with a Phoenix Splash that finds nothing but canvas as Amazing rolls aside! Amazing jumps into an Oklahoma Roll for a 1…2…KICKOUT!

Amazing gets to his feet first and is ready with a roundhouse kick to the back of the skull when Blaze gets to his! Blaze slumps to his knees in a daze. Amazing jabs his finger into Blaze's temple and clicks his thumb, followed by kick upside the head that rolls Blaze's eyes back into his head before he crumples to the canvas lifelessly! Amazing signals to the skies and his hometown crowd is behind him on his climb to the top rope. The challenger flies with a picturesque Free Sail Shooting Star Press that finds its mark onto the champion! Amazing hooks up both legs for
1...2...NO!!! BLAZE JUST KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!

The crowd explodes with cheers for the resilient champion as Amazing's eyes nearly come out of his skull in absolute shock and disbelief. He turns to the ref, holding up three fingers but only has two pointed back at him.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The warrior’s spirit of Bryan Blaze on full display!

CHARLES HUDSON: Johnny Amazing has got to have doubts creeping in now, Bryan Blaze wil not quit!

Amazing draws Blaze up to his feet and looks him dead in the eyes while asking "Why won't you stay down, bro?!" He throws a right hand but Blaze shockingly gets a hand up to block! Blaze fires off with a right hand but gets one in return from Amazing! A European uppercut from Blaze rocks Amazing but he comes back with a hard forearm shot that knocks Blaze back into the ropes! The champion rebounds and spins for the Clothesline from Nova Scotia discuss clothesline but Amazing ducks it! Amazing hits the ropes and comes full speed with a clothesline that Blaze ducks! Both men turn and CONNECT WITH ROUNDHOUSE KICKS UPSIDE THE HEAD! Both men are down!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Both men down!

CHARLES HUDSON: This could be a real turning point!

The ref checks on both men and begins his 10 count with Blaze crawling into the corner to pull himself up. He rushes at Amazing who shockingly kips up to his feet and meets him with a huge elbow strike to the temple! Blaze almost loses his footing but Amazing snatches his head up in a three-quarters face Lock looking for the Amazing Bomber snapmare Driver. Blaze shoves him off! Amazing leaps onto the second rope and flies with a huge roundhouse that just soars right over Blaze's head as he ducks! Blaze is already on the second rope when Amazing turns into THE HEATWAVE Springboard Enziguri and Bryan Blaze falls on top of Amazing and pulls up on the knee pad hooking the leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner and STILL…Seattle Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion...BRYAN—BLAZE!

Blaze stumbles to his feet as he is handed the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship belt. He proudly slings it over his shoulder and stumbles into the closest corner. He gingerly climbs onto the second rope, raising the title belt over his head as the crowd ROARS in approval.

As Blaze climbs back down he turns around to see Johnny Amazing standing before him once again.

CHARLES HUDSON: Oh man! I don't think they're done!

The two warriors stare at one another until Amazing...extends his hand. Blaze accepts! The two men shake hands before Amazing raises Blaze’s right hand in the air.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Unbelievable show of sportsmanship by both men after an instant classic...

CHARLES HUDSON: Look Lou...look on the stage...

Coral Rose is standing at the top of the stage clapping with a blank look on her face now knowing who she’ll face at Mainstream. Blaze noticed her on the stage when Amazing rolls out of the ring and speaks to his girlfriend at ringside. Blaze points at Coral up on the stage and raises the Heavyweight Championship over his head. Coral Rose is motioning as if the championship belongs around her waist as the Seattle Pro logo flashes.
