FUSION IS LIVE FROM THE UNITED CENTER IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS! THE HOME OF THE CHICAGO BULLS!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladied and Gentlemen Welcome to FUSION 6! We’re here in the United Center of Chicago, Illinois! All the titles are on the line tonight but before we head down to the ring for tonight’s opening bout let’s go backstage to Samantha Kinsley whom is joined by a special guest at this time...

---

BACKSTAGE...
Samantha Kinsley is standing by with her first guest of the evening.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome the new WTC Destiny Crown Champion, Eli Buchanan.

Buchanan enters, carrying the championship over his shoulder. His face is still bruised from the injuries he sustained in the tournament.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: First off, congratulations to you, Eli, on becoming becoming the first ever WTC Destiny Crown Champion. you must be filling thrilled at reaching this accomplishment.

ELI BUCHANAN: Thrilled isn't the only thing I'm feeling tonight. {rubbing his bruised face} You're absolutely right though, I'm very happy about what I accomplished last week in Chicago. Winning the Destiny 8 Tournament was one of the most validating things I've ever accomplished. Despite all the pain I put my body though on September 13th, it was all worth it. It proved to me that my decision to toss the tiger mask aside for good was the right decision to make for me to make and it showed the world that Eli F'n Buchanan can be more than a wild man gimmick and a few parlor tricks. I am the WTC Destiny Crown Champion and if the locker room was paying attention to me before they better start now.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: This brings me to your match tonight. You are facing AJ Morales for the Pride Championship. Care to comment?

ELI BUCHANAN: Samantha, when I came to Seattle Pro late last year was a broken man, void of any confidence. I had one plan in mind and that was to work my way up from the very bottom of this company and prove that I belonged at the very top. I've made it well known that planned to become the first ever grand slam winner in the history of this company and while I've had a few hiccups along the way that is still my plan.

He points to Samantha.

ELI BUCHANAN: As you said, tonight I face Pride Champion AJ Morales. AJ and I are no strangers to one another and despite our past differences I have a ton of respect for the man. But you need to realize this, AJ, I am on one of the biggest rolls of my career and as of late I have been a man of my word. Two weeks ago I said I would beat A.J. Knight and finally put to rest my issues with him. Done. Last week I said that I would become the first ever WTC Destiny Crown Champion.

He takes the championship belt from his shoulder and raises it above his head.

ELI BUCHANAN: I think it's pretty safe to say that I did that. And tonight, I'm promising to the world that I will beat AJ Morales and become the new Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion!

He turns to leave, but Samantha stops him.

ELI BUCHANAN: Sorry Eli, I have just one more question. What are your thoughts about tonight's grudge match between Jacob Davies and your former Killswitch comrade, Bryan Blaze.

Eli snorts.

ELI BUCHANAN: Either Davies gets kicked out the door or Blaze has to wear a mask. You might think, Samantha, that because we kicked Bryan out of Killswitch that I hold some ill will towards the man. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I have a lot of respect for the man but when he started putting his ego before the group and allowed guys like Davies and Morales to get into his head, he became a liability to Killswitch and had to be shown the door. Now as for Jacob Davies, I honestly don’t know the man from Adam and don’t really have any feelings about him one way or the other.

He tosses the WTC Destiny Crown Champion back on his shoulder and holds both his hands up, palms side up.

ELI BUCHANAN: So on one hand a man loses his job. There are certainly other places to get paid to wrestle, maybe not as well as we do here in Seattle but there certainly other places to make a living in this business. On the other hand, a man loses his identity. That might sound really strange about being forced to wear a mask because it’s usually the other way around. Many wrestlers south of the border have been forced to retire because they lost their masks because they lost something of themselves in the process, but the same can be said about being forced to put a mask on after years of wrestling without one. Not only does a mask change your perception in the ring and can limit your vision but imagine being forced to lose the face that’s helped you make a living in this industry. That can do things to a man that send chills up down my spine and bring up memories I’d rather not relive.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: So who do think will win?

Eli shakes his head. He starts turning away but stops and faces Samantha again.

ELI BUCHANAN: For Bryan’s sake I hope he wins. There are worse fates than having to up on a mask wear and it for the rest of your career but that doesn’t mean I’d wish it unwillingly on anyone.

With that he finally turns and leaves the area.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Thank you, Eli. McKayla, Charles, back to you.

[Robert Daniels]

“New Orleans is Sinking” begins to play and the lights in the arena. A spotlight drops on the kneeling figure of Eli Buchanan on the entrance ramps wearing a hooded sweater and a dragon mask. He removes his mask and starts singing along with the late Gordon Downie.

Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue-green
I can't forsake a Dixie dead-shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man, and I don't wanna swim

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL and it is for the SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING PRIDE CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first the challenger from Guelph, Ontario and representing KILLSWITCH! He is the 2018 Emerald City Classic Champion...ELI—BUCHANAN!

El jumps to his feet and throws back the hood of his sweater, and continues to sing as he allows his body to grove to the music. He starts to slowly make his way down to the ring as he sings.

Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
Can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said "hey north you're south shut your big mouth,
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking 'bout those years

Eli stops at the stairs at ringside to remove his sweater and tosses it in the face of the ring attendant before jumping up onto the apron and springboards into the middle of the ring. All the while continuing to sing.

Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me

He rolls to a kneeling position on the middle of the ring and flips off the crowd, only to be met with a chorus of boos. None of this seems to bother him as he continues to and grove to the lyrics.

I have my hands in the river
My feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the Lord above
And said, hey man thanks
Sometimes I feel so good I gotta scream
She said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean!

He leaps to his feet and jumps up on the middle turnbuckle as the song ends, nearly shouting out the last of the lyrics.

She said, she said, I swear to she said
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim
Swim!

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

Suddenly, A.J. Morales's custom edit of "Champion" by Falling in Reverse hits the PA, cutting off whatever was playing before. As the lights near the entrance ramp turn gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines and A.J.’s personal highlight reel starts to play on the big screen. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, holding his Seattle Pro gold like a guitar, strumming and headbanging along with every note as he approaches the ring. After a well-timed burst of flames on the stage, A.J. stops the air guitar, puts the belt on around his waist, and starts walking down the ramp, high-fiving anyone who reaches out to him.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the Champion from San Francisco, California, weighing in at one hundred and eighty seven pounds. He is the Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...’The Revolution’...A.J.—MORALES!

As the song launches into its chorus, A.J. vaults over the top rope with a somersault before popping up with a clenched fist salute, turning a full 360 degrees so everyone in the audience gets to see him head on. Then, he climbs up the nearest turnbuckle, undoes the belt again, and mouths along with the lyrics as he looks right into the nearest SkyCam until the chorus ends, at which point he drops back down to the canvas, hands the Pride Championship over to the referee, and heads to his corner to remove his entrance jacket and square up for the fight at hand.

SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
PRIDE CHAMPIONSHIP
★★★ A.J. MORALES (C) ★★★
vs
★★★ ELI BUCHANAN ★★★

The bell rings and the champion pounces like a raging jaguar, laying into the challenger with a bicycle knee strike and nearly knocking Eli over entirely. As the Suplex Psycho reels, A.J. settles into a Muay Thai stance, and the Revolution doesn’t hesitate to exploit the first window of opportunity he sees with alternating straight punches and right hooks to the face, each one driving Eli in exactly the intended direction. After a few cycles of this, Morales starts throwing in elbow strikes and knees to the gut, just to keep Buchanan guessing and off his game, and once A.J.’s had his fill of that...WHA-POW! A massive uppercut to the jaw, finally knocking Eli backwards onto the canvas! A.J. goes for the cover for 1...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Eli kicks out as expected.

Buchanan locks up with Morales in the middle of the ring. Buchanan transitions into a reverse waist lock and lifts Morales and plants him to the mat, face first. He pats the champion on the back, stands and steps back.

CHARLES HUDSON: Buchanan whips Morales into the ropes and catches him with a exploder suplex.

He grabs Morales by the hair and pulls him to his feet. Morales shoves him away. He swings but Buchanan ducks and grabbing him around the waist catches him with a bridging German suplex for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Eli Buchanan then lifts Morales yo and begins to chop A.J. right in the chest—SMACK!—and the crowd responds with a loud “WOOOO!” A.J. drops back a step, takes in the pain...SMACK! He responds to Eli with a chop of his own!

CHARLES HUDSON: This is a good old-fashioned “I can chop harder than you” battle.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: It’s common knowledge of the bad blood between these two, especially the fireball incident from Kamikaze Pro!

A.J. seems to be winning out, but then Eli rakes the eyes, sends A.J. to the apron, POW! Knocks A.J. down! Morales goes tumbling to the arena floor. Buchanan tries to go out after him but the official stops him. The referee bends down between the ropes to check on Morales. Seeing his opportunity, Buchanan bounces off the ropes and leapfrogs over the offical to hit Morales with a tope.

CHARLES HUDSON: Eli taunts the crowd and boos rain down on him.

He then tries to suplex A.J. again but A.J. lands on his feet and rolls out of range. He turns back around and pops Eli in the mouth with a forearm, then yanks the Destiny Crown Champion in for an exploder suplex. Eli starts staggering back to his feet, but A.J. traps him again from behind...ooh, he hits a German! This time, A.J. doesn’t even let Eli start to recuperate before he pulls the challenger in, lifts him up high into a vertical suplex...SLAM! Morales falls back, and Eli feels the effects acutely as he tastes the padded floor for a third time in a row.

CHARLES HUDSON: Now that’s GOTTA be a mind game on A.J.’s part. You don’t start busting out suplex after suplex on the Suplex Psycho just for the hell of it.

The Revolution gets up, pulls, and when the time’s right, Morales charges ahead, leaps in with a clothesline...SMASH! El DiaBlade connects, and Eli goes tumbling over!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Morales starts hyping himself up as he backs away, back to another set of barricades.

Before he starts charging towards Eli again and...OH MY GOD, HE JUMPED RIGHT OVER THE BARRICADE! The Iron Luchador lands right on top of the challenger, bringing them both down to the floor, and as A.J. kips back up, the crowd starts singing for one of their XWA favorites…

A-J-MO-RAAAA-LES!
A-J-MO-RAAAA-LES!
NAAAA-NANA-NANA-NANA!
A-J-MO-RAAAA-LES!
A-J-MO-RAAAA-LES!
NAAAA-NANA-NANA-NANA!

CHARLES HUDSON: A.J. soaks in the cheers while getting back into the ring.

Eli takes much longer while the referee’s count is up in the teens by the time he gets back to the ring apron. Eli hits A.J. from behind before getting back in the ring. Buchanan waits patiently for Morales to get to his feet. He grabs him around the waist and delivers a German suplex but doesn't release the waist lock. He drags Morales to his feet and hits a release Dragon Suplex...which Eli follows up with a—NO! BAM! F**KIN’ SLAYERRRR!

CHARLES HUDSON: A.J. counters with a superkick, and Eli practically freezes on the spot!

The Iron Luchador steps back, sizing up his shot...BAM! F**KIN’ SLAYERRRR AGAIN! Buchanan’s still not down! But that doesn’t bother the Rawest Wrestler Alive for a second, as Morales doubles back to the ropes behind him, bounces off, charges back...BOOM! Morales absolutely lays Buchanan out with that 94 Blitz spear! Down they both go, and after taking a couple seconds to ground-and-pound, Morales makes the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

Morales is in disbelief then they both get up relatively fast but it’s A.J. who runs the ropes, comes back and…Morales goes for a hurracanrana. Buchanan catches him and power bombs him on the top turnbuckle. He runs across the ring and charges back in with a lariat clothesline.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Morales is out in the corner!

CHARLES HUDSON: Eli keeps wailing on A.J. there, ref has to pull them apart.

Morales comes out of the corner slowly ducking a wild clothesline attempt by Buchanan. Morales steps back and levels him with a knee strike knocking him back...LIBERATOR and Morales hooks the leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall and STILL Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...A—J—MORALES!

Buchanan rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope. Morales stands and is handed the Pride Championship then his arm is raised by the official before he celebrates with the Chicago fans at ringside.

CHARLES HUDSON: Eli Buchanan has challenges for the World Television and Pride Championships and been unsuccessful. He has a future World Heavyweight Championship shot in his back pocket but he better hold on to that for a while he’s going through quite the slump.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: What a way to start off FUSION with the Winner of the Emerald City Classic and the Pride Champion! A.J. Morales successfully defends his Pride Championship and now Eli Buchanan has to regroup and figure out where to go from here. After the break we’ll have Ryan Henderson defending the World Television Championship against Mariano Fernandez just two weeks after Fernandez pinned Henderson in a tag team bout at MAINSTREAM 14.

BACKSTAGE...
The camera opens to DA #TROLL GUY, already in his wrestling gear, working out for his upcoming World Television Title match. Trixie is currently just finishing up a small call with her tag team partner SILK and shuffles her shoulders side to side after being complimented.

TRIXIE: I’ll talk to you in a bit, Manny’s here.

And she ends their facetime call before looking over at Manny.

TRIXIE: Hey, you.

Looking up at her, Mariano smiles.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Hey yo. How are you preparing for tonight, mang?

He takes a breather, sitting on the ground, after his warm-up routine.

TRIXIE: SILK and me met up this week to go over a few little things and I’ve totally been rewatching our last match, and Billy’s past tag matches with Scotty...I know it’s not the same partner tonight, Manny, but it’s still a good source on how he wrestles and what to expect.

Mariano raises a hand, as if to say that it’s alright.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: You and SILK got this, chica. We lost too when we started teaming, it’s only a matter of training and spending time together. SILK is talented and ain’t no question about your own, so you’ll do fine together just as well.

TRIXIE: I’m sure we will. SILK seems really enthusiastic about teaming with me which is really nice. And I’m totally anticipating you win the title tonight.

She gives him a little nudge. At her mention of SILK being enthusiastic, Manny’s gaze turns to the side as his cheeks go red, but doesn’t take much to shrug it off.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: I’m certain he is, mang. He’s been very vocal about it. (To himself) More than once, in fact. But the important thing is that you feel alright, and it seems to me you do, so that’s more than enough for me. As for myself…

He bangs his fists together as he gets up.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Henderson beat me in the first round of the Destiny 8 tournament. Hell of a match, and I’m hearing from his side that it’s a Match of the Year for him. But I can’t forget the fact that he beat me, and that it was a first round.

He shakes his head, lowering it down.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: For me that’s the worst thing that can happen, and worse still is knowing that it’s my fault.

TRIXIE: He beat me too. But we did totally beat him last time together.

Manny nods.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: There was no doubt that him and A.J. Morales WOULD be tough, even if they were not an established team and we were. Very sadly so, however, I can’t rely on you tonight. In the ring, at least.

TRIXIE: But I’ll be rooting for you backstage. miss it-

He raises his hands apologetically, but then he leaves a finger up as Trixie stops mid-sentence.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: But when we face each other one-on-one, everything has a second chance. Everything has an opportunity for a rematch, for redemption, for a chance at vindication. In some cases there are higher stakes, bigger prizes, more important opportunities. I wouldn’t have guessed that we’d meet again for HIS title so soon, mang - but here we are, and it’s time for me to make up for that one loss - big time, chica…

He smiles and winks.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Your match is before mine, so I’ll be there to watch you and SILK. We’re DA #TRIXTURNERS, and I take that role seriously. Besides…

He grins his Trollface.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Someone has to remind the Dogs of War that they CAN’T mess with DA #TROLL GUY - or the people he stands with.

He gives her a thumbs up.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: And after this night is over, if everything goes the way we want to, I’ll treat the two of you to dinner. No matter what you ask, no matter the price. A World Television Title win is worth that much, mang.

TRIXIE: Oh I meant to tell you. SILK was thinking more of a club night out and he helped me pick out a nice dress for it. You’re coming too right?

She says with a small, tiny pout and her hazel eyes looking up at him. Manny can’t say no to a look like that.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Wouldn’t miss it for the world, mang. Especially with SILK’s taste on dresses, I figure he’ll have picked something that suits you wonderfully.

He looks at the camera, and mutters through his teeth.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: … ed clubbing, mang. But for her, it’s worth it.

Looking back at her, he hears the crowd roaring outside.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Show’s about to start, mang. And now it’s the time for truth. Let’s go!

After that, the two of them walk away, out of camera sight.

[Robert Daniels]

The arena lights suddenly go down, and a Trollface appears on the big screen.

problem?

"DOESN'T TAKE MUCH AND THAT'S MESSED UP
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DO A LOT OF SIMPLE SHIT TO IMPRESS US!"

“...YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IF YOU DON'T TAKE THAT CHANCE
SO GO PRY OPEN THAT TRUNK AND GET THOSE AMPS, YOU KNOW-"

The lights come back on, and after a huge pyro blast, Mariano is standing at the stage entrance, posing to the crowd going wild. He then begins striding decidedly and steadily to the ring.

“In the days of kings and queens I was a jester”
“Treat me like a or they treat me like a leper”
“They see me move back and forth between both”
“I'm trying to find a balance”
“No reason or rhyme!"

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL and it is for the Seattle Pro Wrestling World Television Championship! Now introducing the challenger making his way to the ring standing at six feet tall and weighing in at one hundred and eighty pounds! From Buenos Aires, Argentina, by way of Miami, Florida. He is the “GADFLY”…MARIANO—FERNANDEZ!"

Once he climbs the apron and passes between the ropes, he raises his fist to the air, receiving a HUGE crowd pop!

"I'm trying to find a balance, I'm trying to build a balance.”
"No reason or rhyme!”

As the music and the lights come back to normal, Mariano takes his place in his corner as he is now awaiting his opponent.

"Running From My Shadow" is heard as the crowd begins cheering as Ryan Henderson makes his way out onto the stage, nodding his head to the music and as the beat kicks in Henderson raises his arm up in the air as blue lasers are shown down on him showing his silhouette, before he beats on his chest as the lights come back on as he pumps up the crowd as well as himself. Henderson makes his way down the ramp as you can see the Seattle Pro Wrestling World Television Championship strapped tightly around his waist as he high fives the fans in the front row reaching out.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the Champion! Standing at six feet and once inch tall, weighing in at two hundred pounds. From Cleveland, Ohio he is the Seattle Pro Wrestling World Television Champion...RYAN—HENDERSON!

You can see Henderson nodding his head to the beat of the song again this time towards the camera as he makes it to the bottom of the ramp as he looks around at the crowd, nodding his head once again as he runs forward and slides into the ring feet first as he jumps up to his feet, looking around again as he bends down before raising his arm up in the air and beating on his chest once again as he walks over to the turnbuckle, climbing it as he again pumps up the crowd, before hopping down as he removed his entrance jacket and tossed it to the outside, before beginning to stretch as he then unstraps the championship from around his waist as he holds it up with one arm to the crowd, before slapping the main plate, before giving it a kiss as he hands it off to the official.

SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
★★★ RYAN HENDERSON (C) ★★★
vs
★★★ MARIANO FERNANDEZ ★★★

The bell rings and as a show of respect is shown by both men after their Match of the Year candidate bout during the #Destiny8 tournament as they slap hands together, before Henderson goes low as Manny looks to lock up. Ryan sends a powerful right hand into the jaw of Fernandez which catches him off guard as Henderson delivers a second and then a third right hand which has his challenger reeling a bit as he charges towards the ropes, looking to take Manny's head off with a clothesline, however Da Troll Guy is able to slide in between Henderson's legs, standing behind him and as Manny attempts a clothesline of his own, Henderson is able to evade with a backflip, which brings the crowd to their feet at the sight of the athleticism shown from the champion as Manny quickly turns around to get met with a Standing enzuigiri to the side of the head, this stumbles Fernandez as Henderson is quick to capitalize on it as he wraps his arm around Manny's neck, throwing his arm over and lifting him up and dropping him down with a Side slam backbreaker as you can see Manny cringe in pain. Henderson attempts his first pinfall of the match, however Manny is able to kick out at a one count, much to the chagrin of the champion.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: After what happened in Destiny 8, Mariano is determined to bring his A-game.

That doesn’t prevent him from doing a brief handshake with Henderson, before the two lock up. Owing to this new determination, Mariano overpowers Henderson and brings him down with a snap suplex. Henderson gets up fast, however, but Manny is there with an Arrow to his Knee! With Cleveland’s Prodigal Son down again, DA #TROLL GUY attempts to pick him up for a Piledriver… NO! Back Body Drop counter by Henderson, and it’s Fernandez’s turn to go down! Manny attempts to get up, but it’s now the Cleveland native that capitalizes on his momentum with a running knee lift!

CHARLES HUDSON: With Mariano down one more time, Ryan goes for a clothesline as he rises - NO! DA #TROLL GUY rolls out of the way and rushes to the other side of the ropes.

Both wrestlers come off from opposite sides head on - flying forearm by Fernandez, and the Television Champion goes down and Manny makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Mariano pushes himself up off the mat and looks to exit out into the apron looking to go high risk.

Just as he goes to jump up onto the ropes to springboard off, but Henderson cuts him off and lands a kick which forces Fernandez to the outside but not before he crashes hard back first against the ring apron. Henderson uses this chance to catch his breath a bit as a small smirk is seen on his face as Manny slowly gets to his feet, before Henderson charges towards the opposite side bouncing off the ropes as he leaps over the ropes with a Spaceman plancha onto Manny on the outside, quickly getting to his feet as he nods his head, pumping up the crowd. The referee is seen beginning his ten count as Henderson pushes Manny back first against the apron, seemingly focusing on working on the back of Manny. Henderson drove Fernandez back first into the apron a second time, before walking away slightly as he hopped up onto the barricade, his back facing the crowd as he waited for Manny a bit before jumping off and landing a hurricanrana. Henderson quickly got back up and tossed Manny back into the ring as he slid back in himself. Henderson noticed Fernandez resting against the second rope near the corner as he exited the ring onto the apron running a bit as he took hold of the ring post, swinging around and landing a Tiger feint kick. Da Troll Guy collapsed to the mat as Henderson took hold of the ropes, pulling on them as he jumped onto them springboarding off and connecting with a Springboard European uppercut, quickly covering Manny again for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: As the two wrestlers circle each other again, Henderson hits a jaw-jacking European Uppercut.

Manny gets rocked back, and the champion Irish Whips him to the ropes, then catches him on the rebound with a huge powerslam followed by a hook of the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Henderson rolls over and slaps the mat seemingly determined to defend his title, overpowers Manny in another lock-up.

He lifts him head down for a suplex - NO! REVERSAL BY FERNANDEZ INTO A SWING DDT! Seizing the momentum this time, DA #TROLL GUY rushes to the ropes and bounces off them with an Asai Moonsault… but HENDERSON LIFTS HIS KNEES and Manny crashes to the mat in pain! Cover by Henderson, but Manny places his foot on the bottom rope!

CHARLES HUDSON: By this time both men are winded as they were putting on an encore of their match during the Destiny 8 tournament.

It almost seemed as though Henderson had switched it to another gear as he knew that his World Television Championship was on the line and that he wanted his reign to continue and he wasn't ready for it to end. Manny on the other hand was looking to do what nobody had been able to do yet, take the title away from Henderson. Both men were slow to get to their feet as they began exchanging blows, the crowd didn't know who to boo or who to cheer as each strike landed. After Manny was able to land a stiff right hand, Henderson answered back with a Bicycle kick, before Fernandez was quick to answer with a modified Péle Kick as Henderson staggered a bit, before answering with another kick of his own this time a Front kick straight to the jaw of Fernandez. You can see the intensity on Henderson's face as he's heard yelling at Manny to bring it who gladly does, delivering a jumping high knee that rocked the champion as his back is facing Manny, Henderson though quickly drops down to his back and is able to land an overhead kick to the top of Manny's head as he falls. Manny is now the one who falls to the mat as both men are down as you can hear the crowd beginning to chant: "Fight forever" at the top of their lungs.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Strike exchange by the two wrestlers - knee from the Television Champion to Fernandez’s gut.

Elbow strike by DA #TROLL GUY to Henderson’s mid-section, pushing him back. Henderson goes for a front kick, Manny catches his leg - Enzuigiri! NO! Manny ducks the decapitating kick and Henderson lands on his feet - PELÉ KICK BY DA #TROLL GUY follows by a cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: Mariano Fernandez lifts Ryan Henderson to his feet then picks him up for what looks like an atomic drop but instead he sits Henderson on the top turnbuckle only for Henderson to kick him away hard to the chest.

Manny is seen on the mat having been knocked down after an exchange between the two men up on the turnbuckle, Henderson is seen leaping off the turnbuckle and hitting a Senton Bomb, managing to roll through it before landing a Standing moonsault. Henderson got to his feet and looked down at Manny as he dragged Manny closer towards the corner as he began climbing the turnbuckle again, this time standing on the middle rope as he balanced himself before landing a Phoenix splash as he quickly covered Fernandez only get a two and a half count as Henderson glanced over at the referee who reminded him that it was only a two count. You can see Henderson run his hands over his face, beginning to wonder just what exactly he was gonna have to do to put Manny away and notch another successful title defense as he motions for Manny to get to his feet and once he does, Henderson lifts Manny up onto his shoulders looking for the Fatality, however Manny is able to fight out of it as he lands a few elbows to the side of Henderson's head, and slides down his back before attempting the Dovahkiin Driver, however Henderson is able to counter, before quickly landing a standing Enzuigiri to the back of Manny's head that has him on spaghetti legs as he quickly lifts him up onto his shoulders throwing him off as he manages to connect with the 540 kick hitting the Fatality! Henderson drops down into the cover as he hooks the leg as the referee slides down to count, however at the very last second Manny is able to roll his shoulder up off the canvas as a look of shock appears all over Henderson's face as he definitely thought he had his title retained there as he got all of that Fatality and he makes the cover for 1...2...BREAK!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Henderson looks around confused as why the count stopped then he realized the foot in the ropes.

He grabs Manny and lifts him up but regaining control Mariano Irish Whips Henderson, sending him to the ropes - but Henderson comes back with a Superman Punch! Manny goes down hard, and the World Television Champion climbs to the ropes… 450 SPLASH… NO! Manny rolls out of the way and Henderson hits nothing but canvas!

CHARLES HUDSON: Henderson is down, and Mariano signals to the crowd.

He bounces off the ropes, and as he comes back, he screams “SKYRIM FOR THE NORDS!”... THE STORMCLOAK ELBO- NO! Henderson JUST roll out of the way!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Henderson pulls Manny up and now has Fernandez in the corner as he's standing on the turnbuckle delivering right hands.

The crowd chants along with it and once Henderson gets to nine punches, he looks out at the crowd a small smirk appearing on his face, however this proves to be a mistake as Fernandez roars to life as he lifts Henderson up taking both men out of the corner as Fernandez delivers a sitout powerbomb that shakes the ring. Fernandez has Henderson's shoulders pinned as the referee slid down, however this time Henderson is just able to kick out in the nick of time. Both men are spent as they're slow to make it to their feet at the same time as Henderson delivers a forearm only to receive one from Fernandez as the two began trading blows with one another, before Fernandez leapt up and is able to connect with the Gadfly! Henderson is rocked, but he lets out a loud war cry at Fernandez before hitting a Bicycle kick that rocks Fernandez who yells out: "FUS RO DAH!" as he lands a jumping knee lift, Henderson is a little loopy before quickly spinning around and connecting with a huge clothesline as both men fall to the mat after that exchange of strikes. Neither man wanting to lose here tonight. Henderson uses the ropes to help him to his feet on one side while Manny does the same on the other side, you can see both men stare at one another and once they're both up to a vertical base, Manny charges at Henderson attempting a clothesline, only for Henderson to slide underneath and as soon as Manny turns around Henderson looks for a 540 kick BUT Fernandez ducks the kick but Henderson closes in for the kill for the AXE BOMBER… NO! DA #TROLL GUY spits his Asian Mist and as Henderson drops to a knee to rub his eyes, he bounces off the ropes and hits him square in the face with the TROLLFACE Shining Wizard! Manny hooks the leg for 1...2...BREAK!

CHARLES HUDSON: HENDERSON GOT HIS FEET ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!

With Mariano getting back to his feet, Henderson picks him for the FATAL ENCOUNTER Swinging reverse STO into DDT and makes the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall and NEW Seattle Pro Wrestling World Television Champion...MARIANO—FERNANDEZ!

Mariano rolls over onto both knees as he is awarded the World Television Championship and he celebrates while the official holds his arm up!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This was an absolute instant classic.

[Robert Daniels]

The arena lights go dark, and the beat of “Swagga Like Us” by Jay-Z and T.I. blares throughout the PA system.

“No one on the corner have swagger like us
Swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
No one on the corner have swagger like us
Swagger like us, swagger swagger like us”

Once the arena lights come back on, DA TRIX TURNERS appear on the stage, to the crowd’s cheering. Mariano Fernande the new Seattle Pro Wrestling World Television Champion, DA #TROLL GUY, enters the stage slowly, arms outstretched and swaggering, then balls two fists together and starts firing an imaginary machine-gun. SILK, on the other hand, walks out while seductively rubbing his abs, working up to his chest and then his face. SILK then spreads his arms out and tilts his head back while a gust of air comes up from the ramp to send his white lace, open dress shirt whipping around. in the middle of them both, the Prime Girl TRIXIE, who bends a leg elegantly for her pose while she puts on her aviator sunglasses.

“Mr. West is in the building
Swagger on a hundred thousand, trillion
Hey yo I know I got it first
I'm Christopher Columbus, y'all just the pilgrims”

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL and it is for the Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championships! Introducing first representing Da Trix Turners...TRIXIE AND SILK!

The three of them start walking down the aisle, Manny slapping hands in the fans with the corner, Trixie giving smiles to the crowd either side, blowing a kiss to a lucky fan, while SILK walks up to all the ladies to rub their faces and blow air kisses only inches away from their lips.

“Na-Na-Na
How it feel to wake up and be the shit and the urine
Na-na-na-na-na
Trying to get that Kobe number, one over Jordan”

Upon reaching the apron, Manny and SILK climb first, on opposite sides, each holding one side of the ropes open for Trixie to go in.

“No one on the corner have swagger like us
Swagger like us, swagger swagger like us
No one on the corner have swagger like us
Swagger like us, swagger swagger like us”

After Trixie enters the ring, Manny and SILK follow suit, with the former shouting “FUS RO DAH!” while Trixie gives the crowd a little wave before high fiving Manny and then SILK. SILK then drops to his knees in front of both Trixie and Manny as he outstretches his arms and leans his head back once again, while Manny and Trixie both strike poses directly behind him towards the crowd.


“Bad Guy” by 30H!3 plays as the crowd begins to buzz. When the first verse hits, the lights flash in shades of gold and white, as Billy bursts on to the stage arms wide as the audience boos heavily. Slowly making their way out is Mark Storm and Billy Danielson. He breaks his trance as he looks out at the crowd but isn’t impressed with the audience as they slowly makes their way towards the ring with each of them wearing a Tag Team Championship title belt around their waists.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now making their way to the ring. Representing the Dogs of War! They are the Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions...BILLY—DANIELSON and...MARK—STOOORM!

Billy walks down to ringside area, and wipes his feet before going up the stairs. He steps onto the apron, and smirks at the camera, he steps through the ropes. Billy takes his shirt off, and throws it into the crowd, and his Seattle Pro Tag Team Championship and Storm with his as their music faces.

SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
★★★ DOGS OF WAR ★★★
[BILLY DANIELSON & MARK STORM]
vs
★★★ DA TRIX TURNERS ★★★
[TRIXIE & SILK]

The bell sounds as SILK and Mark Storm start off the match, as Mark Storm begins to dominate early with some stiff shots that catch SILK off guard, sending him down to the mat. He drags SILK over to the corner and makes the tag to Danielson. Billy and SILK now trade blows back and forth, as SILK manages to hit a handspring cutter on Danielson, trying to gets some distance between him and his corner. Trixie comes in off a tag and gets some good strikes in on Billy Danielson. Trixie goes for a moonsault but Billy rolls out of the way. He hits her with a buckle bomb, as Billy tags Storm back in and hits her with Duelling Knee Strikes and makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tonight Billy Danielson’s former Tag team partner challenges Jacob Hammerstein for the World Heavyweight Championship after defeating Danielson two week ago. Guess what...we’re live tonight from Danielson’s hometown of Chicago. Talk about butter sweet.

Storm is up, bringing Trixie to her feet as well. Mark begins throwing a combination of strikes, looking to top it off with a clothesline to complete The Impending Storm but Trixie manages to duck the attempt, comes from behind Mark and nails a massive Zig Zag! Storm bounces off the mat and manages to grab a hold of the ropes to pull himself up immediately.

CHARLES HUDSON: Trixie sizes up Mark Storm once again and casually reminds him of her win back at JAPAN Legacy.

Mark gives Trixie a shove to some boos and SILK punches his own fist to give Trixie an option. Trixie balls up her fist and takes a swing but Mark ducks it and goes for his pele kick. Trixie backs up to get out of his range, then runs past Mark to bounce off the rope and hits her shining apprentice! With Storm down, Trixie attempts the cover to try and get an early win herself for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Trixie has Storm to his feet again, backing him up against the ropes, connecting with strike after strike but this is only fuelling Your Hero and Mine, who seems to be getting stronger and stronger after every strike connects.

He blocks a strike attempt before quickly delivering a variation of strikes of his own in quick succession - which culminates in a spinning back kick with Trixie doubling over. He then points to the ropes before running at them, bouncing off of them and delivering a missile drop kick that sends Trixie tumbling through the ropes and to the outside. He then gets up shortly after, bouncing off of the ropes before propelling himself over the opposite ropes, somersaulting onto Trixie! Super Saiyan Storm in full display!

CHARLES HUDSON: Mark Storm is up on the outside, grabs Trixie by the hair and rolls her underneath the bottom rope, back into the ring.

Storm slides in himself but Trixie was playing possum and sweeps Storm’s legs out from under him, sending him down to the mat on his back. Trixie gives SILK a small smile as he personally leads the fans to cheerlead Trixie. She builds up with them, watching Mark slowly get back to his feet and blows on her open hand before leaning back to connect with the Hardest Slap Ever. SILK holds his cheeks horrified as Trixie shakes out her hand and then bounces off the ropes to jump into the air and hit her Sexy Leg Split Legged Leg Drop!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Trixie sees the opportunity and makes the hot tag to SILK whose be waiting patiently for his chance to get back into this.

SILK is in and charging directly for Storm whose up to one knee. SILK sends Storm backwards with a huge front dropkick to his chest! SILK mounts Storm on the back and begins throwing a flurry of rights and lefts to the side of Storm’s face, as well as the back of his head. He grabs Storm by the neck and brings him over to the turnbuckle where he proceeds to smash Storm’s face into it as the crowd counts along!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

NINE!

As SILK brings Mark’s head back before smashing it into the turnbuckle for the tenth time, he proceeds to jive with his hips and rub his own abs up and down with his free hand as the female fans scream in adoration! He then cocks Storm’s head back even further and then drives it forward into the turnbuckle!

TEN!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Storm collapses to the mat after the tenth as SILK outstretches his arms, tilts his head back and plays to the crowd some more.

Mark is back up slowly and we get a standard collar to elbow tie up from Storm and SILK as SILK manages to get the best of Storm, locking the veteran into a standard side headlock. Storm pushes him back against the ropes, before forcing him off with SILK dashing towards the opposite ropes, bouncing off of them and connecting with a hard shoulder barge to Storm, who instantly crumbles to the mat. SILK poses yet again for a moment, a smile on his face before he takes off to the ropes again but Storm rolls across the ring and looks to trip him up, SILK hops over him and is running to the ropes again. He bounces off and this time it’s a leapfrog from Storm. SILK bounces off of the ropes for a third and final time with Storm delivering a pinpoint drop kick to SILK! Your Hero and Mine rises to his feet and doesn’t even stop to take on the admiration of the crowd, he goes straight back into work by bringing SILK up to his feet, locking him in a side headlock, slamming him into the canvas whilst keeping the hold intact. Expert stuff from Your Hero and Mine!

CHARLES HUDSON: With SILK on the canvas, Storm looks to get out as he’s a bit exhausted, so he makes the tag to Billy Danielson who comes jogging in, looking to follow up on Storm’s work.

SILK though is prepared as he leaps up to his feet and catches Danielson who runs into a stiff forearm shot, followed up quickly by SILK’s signature move “Bare Back” Olympic Slam! Both men are down but SILK crawls over towards Trixie to tag her in!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Trixie flies into the ring like a bat out of hell but is met with a couple of roundhouse kicks from Billy and ends up on the ring ropes holding her abdomen.

Billy whips her from the ropes to the other side of the ring and Billy runs back into the ropes to try and spear Trixie. Trixie takes a vault to roll over Billy's back and then does a matrix style dodge to avoid Billy's clothesline in order to be in close range for a quick kick to the gut and does her split legged stunner to Billy with a slow clap, jaw dropped SILK nodding at his partner.

CHARLES HUDSON: Trixie runs back into Billy who gets around Trixie, almost locking in a rear naked choke.

Trixie slinks down and escapes the hold to try and pin Billy by pulling him over onto his shoulders only for Billy to handstand onto his feet and measures Trixie for his Thinning the Herd (RKO) but Trixie pushes Billy into the ropes so she can try her Beautiful Disaster RKO but now Billy pushes her into the ropes. Trixie escapes an exploder suplex attempt from Billy with a quick Sexy Makeover Split Legged Face Buster and catches Billy with a series of Superkicks; one to the inside of the knee, one to the kidney and then one to the side of the cranium. Trixie makes the cover on a downed Billy Danielson for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Trixie goes over to tag in SILK as it seems they have a double team move in mind.

SILK now gets involved, hitting a knee strike on Billy, stunning him. Trixie cross bodies Billy immediately after, as SILK hits Storm with a running forearm to send him crashing off of the apron. Both go to the top rope, looking for duelling top rope drops. SILK hits Storm on the outside but Billy is able to sidestep Trixie just in time. SILK is up quickly and notices Trixie down, so he comes back in, leaving Storm on the outside. Billy meets SILK immediately and whips him to the ropes but SILK is able to springboard off the ropes hitting a moonsault DDT, following it up with a cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Another close pinfall on Bill Danielson has the Dogs of War in bad shape.

SILK goes over to attend to Trixie though, helping her back to the corner as Storm hops back up onto the apron himself, reaching his arm into the ring, looking for a tag from Billy Danielson. SILK turns around and notices but it’s too late as Billy completes the hot tag from to Your Hero and Mine! Storm slingshots into the ring with an energy about him that excites the crowd. He ducks under the strike attempt of SILK and goes straight for the kill with Trixie, a bicycle knee connecting that knocks her off of the apron! He turns and finds SILK running towards him, rolling underneath his arm before taking off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and greeting SILK with a flying forearm strike. He kips himself up to his feet and looks around the arena, the crowd applauding him for his efforts as he smiles, nodding his head in appreciation before going to work on SILK, locking him in an ankle lock.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: As SILK reaches towards the corner where his partner is supposed to be, Storm wrenches the lock in even harder as the referee checks on SILK whose refusing to give up.

Seeing he may have SILK where they want him, Storm drags him by the ankle, keeping the hold locked in, towards his corner where he uses a free hand to tag Billy back into the match. Billy climbs to the top turnbuckle as Storm keeps the ankle lock on SILK whose writhing in pain. Billy soars off the top rope with a frog splash onto the back of SILK that takes the wind out of him, he turns SILK over and makes the cover as Storm lets go of the hold for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Trixie is back in to break the fall up, as Storm didn’t even take notice to her.

The referee sends Trixie back into her corner as Billy and Storm begin berating him for not making the three count. As they do, SILK crawls over towards Trixie and makes the tag with a slap loud enough to grab the attention of both the Dogs of War and the referee. Billy moves towards them pissed off as Storm reluctantly exits the ring. Trixie hits Billy with a huge right hand, followed by a stiff kick to the left knee that sends Billy bending over forward to hold it in pain. As he does this Trixie hits him with a stiff rising knee that sends him down.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Trixie once again taunts Storm about her previous win over him which causes him to enter the ring but it seems this was planned as SILK flies over the top rope and drops Storm with a clothesline before he can make it to Trixie that causes him to do a backflip and roll out of the ring.

Danielson is back to his feet and looks down at Storm on the outside, as he turns around he is nailed with a massive B.J. (Stunner) from SILK and as his head snaps back, Trixie almost takes it off with a huge Spicy Superkick! Trixie makes the cover as SILK slides out to take care of Mark Storm for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winners by pin fall and NEW! Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions...Silk and Trixie...DA—TRIX—TURNERS!

Trixie gets up off Danielson as SILK is back into the ring. He grabs Trixie and lifts her up onto his shoulders as the referee hands them the Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Titles! Trixie holds hers high as she sits on SILK’s shoulder while he uses his free arm to raise his Title too as the fans go completely nuts!

CHARLES HUDSON: They’ve got all the championship gold here tonight Lou!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The Championship Reign for the Dogs of War is finally over after a surprise victory by Silk and Trixie along with Mariano Fernandez winning the World Television Championship earlier tonight. Congratulations to Da Trix Turners! After the break we’ll see Jacob Davies take on Bryan Blaze!

[Robert Daniels]

DURING THE BREAK...
Through the curtains comes the new Seattle Pro Tag Team Champions, Trixie and SILK, two thirds of Da Trix Turners. The belts sparkle over their shoulders as SILK is doing double duty with his NVR R!ZE Championship on his other shoulder. SILK has his arm around Trixie’s shoulder her and gives her a tight one armed hug.

SILK: As crazy as this sounds, I’m so glad I lost my Seattle Pro debut to you beautiful. I’ve had some rides in my lifetime that would..blow your mind but this ride has been like no other!

TRIXIE: I'm sure they would. But I bet none of them ever made you Seattle Pro Tag Team Champ!

Trixie says holding out the title belt, currently holding Billy's name on it but not for long.

TRIXIE: Can't believe we won them.

SILK: I can. Those slip ups in our first match with the Puppies of Battle were tightened up and look at us now...drippin’ in gold and reshapin’ the tag divisions mold!

SILK smiles at his friend as the Tag Title on her shoulder lights up his eyes.

SILK: Now, all we need is Manny to win the Television Title and the champagne will rain tonight!

TRIXIE: VIP lounge at the club? For us three right?

She says to SILK before her eyes are drawn to the new title she's still just a excited to have earned.

SILK: You can bet your beautiful behind we are doing VIP...hell, I may buy out the whole damn bar to show that no one is on par to us!

The excitement in SILK’s voice is contagious as they continue making their way to Da Trix Turners’ locker room. Trixie giggles and puts a hand on his shoulder to try and settle him down.

TRIXIE: That isn't necessary, SILK. You're funny.

SILk laughs playfully at Trixie.

SILK: Funny yes but girl...I’m damn serious about buying the bar...we gettin’ white girl wasted tonight and it starts now!

SILK opens the door to their locker room to reveal a table full of Dom Perignon bottles and glasses.

SILK: Here’s the real question though; do we pop one now or wait for Manny to win?

The scene cuts out leaving the viewer to wonder whether Manny Fernandez will come back to his friends wasted or eagerly waiting to get started with him.

BACKSTAGE...
Scotty Latimer is standing in his locker room quietly leaning towards a wall with his head lied against it with his eyes closed. He was focused on the task at hand, getting ready quietly for his match against his former friend and fellow ex Horseman Jacob Hammerstein. It was then a hand comes into the scene and softly tenderly runs up his back. As the camera pans out it's shown the hand belongs to his girlfriend...pro wrestling interviewer Carter Philips who was here for her boyfriend on the biggest night of his life.

CARTER PHILLIPS: How are you holding up?

She gives him a small smile, meant to offer him some further reassurance. Scotty turns around and faces her.

SCOTTY LATIMER: I'm holding up pretty well. Was just thinking about everything that has lead me to this moment you know. All the stuff with the Horsemen, disagreements with management, watching others come in here way after me and get shots like this while I was stuck and willingly wanting to be stuck being one half of the tag champs with a guy who I thought was my best friend.

Scotty showed that anger again over everything that happened with Billy over the past few months came back to him. Again Carter tenderly touches his chest to calm him down and refocus him. She adds that gorgeous million dollar smile along with the touch.

CARTER PHILLIPS: All of that was worth it if it got you to the point where you are right now.

She reaches out with both hands to take his into her own to give them a gentle squeeze as she leans in closer to give him a kiss.

CARTER PHILLIPS: You do realize how proud I am of you, right?

Scotty smiles as he takes her into his arms and holds her tightly

SCOTTY LATIMER: Everyone else has left me. First it was the girl that I thought loved me but left me, then it was Billy that stabbed me in the back. I always seem to run people away yet here you are. You are still here with me.

He pulls back and looks into Carter’s eyes to find her looking right back into his with a smile on her face. She reaches up with one hand to brush her fingers through his hair.

CARTER PHILLIPS: Of course I’m still here and I’m not planning on going anywhere either. I’m happy with you Scotty.

Scotty smiles as he leans in and kisses her.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Then it's settled. I'm going out here tonight and I'm going to give it all I got. Not just for me….but for you too. I'm walking out regardless with my head held high and for all the fans that supported me over these past couple of years. This is my...Destiny! It's time for me to take it.

CARTER PHILLIPS: I’m so glad to be here to watch it happen. You know that I wouldn’t have missed this for the world.

She gives him another kiss to further emphasis her feelings. Scotty smiles at her.

SCOTTY LATIMER Things are going to change baby….they are going to change for the better. I'm in the best place I've ever been in my entire life right now and I'll be damned if I let this slip away. It's not going to happen.

Latimer gives Carter one last smile. Philips gives her final words of encouragement before she had to take her seat ringside. She reaches out towards Scotty’s forehead one more time to brush back his hair.

CARTER PHILLIPS: Good luck out there baby. You’re going to be so amazing, I can feel it.

With that Carter slowly walked away not taking her eyes off Scotty Latimer until she disappeared around the corner. Scotty took a deep breath then started watching the clock and began the waiting game until time for the main event.

[Robert Daniels]

“Beat The Devil's Tattoo” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club plays as the lights begin to fade. Suddenly, spotlights begin pulsing beat of the drum while fog pours out of the stage. Amidst the haze appears a silhouette, arms outstretched.

'You have forsaken all the love you've taken
Sleeping on a razor there's nowhere left to fall
Your body's aching, every bone is breaking
Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps holding on.'

Jacob Davies steps forward as a spotlight falls on him, walking with his arms still held wide and his eyes closed. In the shadows, just a few steps behind him, is Robert Roundhouse who reprimands fans and occasionally slaps their hands away as they reach out to touch 'The Prodigy'.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This Match is set for ONE FALL! Accompanied to the ring by his manager Robert Roundhouse, from Detroit, Michigan! Weighing in at two hundred and twenty-seven pounds and standing five feet and ten inches tall. He is the “Prodigy”...JACOB—DAVIES!

Davies reaches the end of the aisle and slowly lowers his arms, then breathes in deep and opens his eyes as he quickly exhales. He climbs onto the apron and enters the ring, stepping up to the ropes closest to the camera and throwing his arms out wide once more while leaning against the top rope. He surveys the crowd, lowers his arms, and steps back into his corner.

“Indestructible” begins to play through the PA system, the lights dim and bright blue spotlights circle around the stage. As the first verse is sung, Bryan Blaze enters from behind the curtain, and is instantly showered with nothing but the utmost hatred and excessively loud boos from the crowd in attendance. He wears a crimson red jacket along with his regular ring attire. Blaze struts down the ramp as fans continue to pelt him with hate and obscenities. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp, he drops to his knees and throws his arms up.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the Champion from Sydney, Nova Scotia. Standing at five feet and ten inches. Weighing in at two hundred and five pounds...BRYAN—BLAZE!

Blaze circles around the ring, until he gets to the far ring steps. He quickly steps up them and onto the ring apron. Blaze then climbs the second turnbuckle and outstretches his arms in a taunt on the crowd. From there, Blaze climbs to the top turnbuckle and then front-flips into the ring, landing on one knee and pointing to the rafters as the fans continue to boo.

GRUDGE MATCH
★★★ BRYAN BLAZE ★★★
vs
★★★ JACOB DAVIES ★★★

The bell rings as Bryan Blaze is on Jacob Davies immediately wasting no time! He throws hard palm strikes knocking Davies back into the far corner. Blaze quickly darts across the ring aiming a stinger splash for his challenger, but Davies moves! Blaze himself before landing face-first into the top turnbuckle! Davies is stunned by his athleticism as he turns Blaze dumps Davies over the top rope with a clothesline!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: There is a lot on the line here tonight between these two individuals!

CHARLES HUDSON: This is a case of pride and humility at its very best!

Blaze looks around the ring, and to the fans...he grins. He hits the ropes as Davies is almost to his feet...he rebounds off...TOPE SUICIDA! Blaze sends Davies crashing into the barricade! Blaze gets to his feet quickly as he rolls Davies back into the ring.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Blaze pulls Davies to his feet.

Blaze is looking to cinch in a frontface lock but Davies shoves him off and catches him with a standing dropkick by Davies! The kick rocks Blaze as he stumbles back towards the ropes...and he falls over them and to the floor!

CHARLES HUDSON: Blaze isn’t as fortunate enough to land on his feet but he’s angry and seems more annoyed about his jaw.

Davies this time hits the far side ropes and returns through the rows with a suicide dive that he somehow manages to land on his feet on the outside of the ring! Meanwhile Blaze crashes and burns into the barricade. Davies picks him up and throws him head first into the barricade again.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Davies continue to argue with the official.

Blaze gains his composure and sneaks up from behind him driving him face-first into the post! He then rolls Davies back into the ring. Blaze pauses for a moment on the apron...then leaps to the top rope for a Springboard 450 Splash and hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: He thinks this is funny Lou!

Blaze looks over his shoulder to see Davies just now getting back to his feet and he smirks at this. He hits the ropes, connecting on Davies with a step-up Knee on the rebound! He keeps forward with his momentum, springboarding off of the middle rope and connecting with a moonsault for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Back and forth Charles this match is no disqualification and there must be a winner but these guys haven’t even entertained the idea of cheating...yet.

Davies rolls to the outside of the ring but he is quickly followed by Bryan Blaze. Using the apron to stand up and walk along the outside of the ring Davies is retreating. Instead Blaze looks to irish whip him into the ring steps but it’s Davies who reversed and instead slings Blaze back first into the ring steps! Davies lifts Blaze and rolls him into the ring, still checking on his jaw, then shakes his head and rolls in after him. Blaze throws a wild strike but Davies ducks, hooks the arm, drags him back into a corner, and launches him into the turnbuckles with a vicious half-nelson suplex and follows with a cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Davies could have ended his career had he landed any differently.

Davies lifts Blaze up, but Blaze shoves him off...leaping enziguri...Blaze ducks this time! Davies lands on his knees...Superkick by Blaze! Blaze backs up and hits the ropes...standing Shooting Star!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Blaze allows Davies to stand, before rattling off three consecutive forearms onto his jaw!

Davies lands in the corner and Blaze whips him across the ring to the opposite corner...following him in with a clothesline! As Davies stumbles out, Blaze lifts him up into a Firemans Carry simultaneously sprinting across the ring with Davies on his shoulders. Davies frees himself at the last possible moment, shoving Blaze into the turnbuckles!

CHARLES HUDSON: He got out of their just in time!

Davies starts to stir, trying to shake some feeling back into his leg. Blaze is still clutching his back from the chair shot. Davies lifts himself to his feet and Blaze is up to a knee. Davies charges past Blaze, springboards off the middle rope, catching Blaze with a DDT on his way down! He drapes an arm over for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Blaze rushes him with a step-up high knee and he drops to the canvas and rolls forward.

Blaze climbs up to the top rope and looks for a 450 Splash but the Prodigy rolls away and stands up with a demented look across his face. He leans chest-first against the ropes as the crowd boo. Meanwhile Davies with determination filling his eyes scales to the top rope but it’s Blaze who springs up, shoving his feet off the top and Davies falls, straddling the top turnbuckle!

CHARLES HUDSON: Blaze takes a moment to gather his bearings before climbing up to the top.

Blaze tries to hook Davies up for a superplex...but Davies blocks it with a few punches in the midsection and a headbutt rocks Blaze. Davies swings to finally knock Blaze from the ropes but he ducks and lifts Davies up into a Firemans Carry and he drops him with the his signature “Avalanche Death Valley Driver”!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Both men crash and burn but Bryan Blaze is able to just BARELY drape an arm over Davies’ chest.

CHARLES HUDSON: Who the hell is this?

A man jumps the rail and enters the ring. He walks over as the official is counting and he lifts Bryan Blaze straight up off the mat breaking the count. He lifts him up to his feet groggily. Wraps his arms around a surprised Bryan Blaze and drops him with a snap exploded Suplex slam!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Who is this man with seemingly terrible hygiene?

CHARLES HUDSON: You know who that is Lou...that’s Jason Cashe from Lion’s Road! He’s a Hall of Famer! What’s he doing here tonight?

Cashe stands up from the mat with no emotion on his face he turns and drops to the mat to roll under the bottom rope just as Jacob Davies is about to stir. Cashe this time doesn’t exit through the crowd instead he walks up the aisle and behind the curtain. Davies looks around confused before crawling on top of Blaze sticking up one hand counting along with the referee for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Blaze kicks out at the last possible second!

Davies can’t believe it as he sits on his backside beside of Blaze. He presses down on his chest and pushes himself back up to his feet. Davies pulls the lifeless Bryan Blaze up to a single knee and pulls his groggy foe up and blinds him by gouging his eye, he grins, then lands the ‘See You Next Time’! Davies sits up, looks around with a smile, and pushes his Blaze over onto his back. He crosses his arms and leans back onto him for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall...the PRODIGY...JACOB—DAVIES!

Davies sits up cockily with him arms crossed. He laughs out at the audience as his music plays loudly. He stands up and retries the basic black covering most commonly used for capital punishment executions in the early 1900’s. He walks over to the fallen Bryan Blaze who lays crumpled under the bottom rope.

CHARLES HUDSON: Bryan Blaze has lost this match and now must wear a mask for the remainder of his career or until Jacob Davies says otherwise.

Davies opens the bottom of the black mask and forces it over the head and face of Bryan Blaze who immediately rolls out of the ring and to the floor. He sits broken on the outside of the ring leaned against the apron with his knee bent.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He’s accepted his fate and is willfully wearing the mask understanding the consequences of this highly anticipated grudge match with such high stakes.

CHARLES HUDSON: Jacob Davies doesn’t have to leave Seattle...wait what is this?

Jason Cashe makes his way back down the aisle but this time he’s smiling. He applauds the performance of Davies and he slides into the ring. He approaches Davies inside the ring and while Davies looks confused he accepts the offer of a handshake by Cashe.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: What kind of unholy alliance is this?

Cashe tightens his grip on the hand of Davies then unleashes a hard hitting ‘Mark of J.A.S.O.N.’! Davies drops to the mat leaving Cashe standing inside the ring with the fans gasping with mixed emotions. Meanwhile Blaze walks shamefully up the aisle still wearing the hood over his face as the shows fades out to commercial with a speechless McKayla Lewis and Charles Hudson.

DURING THE BREAK...
Inside the Killswitch locker room, Samantha Kinsley stands between Reese Kennedy and his client, The Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Champion, Jacob Hammerstein.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Hammerstein, in a short time, you'll be defending the Seattle Pro World Title against someone you know quite well. Your former tag team partner and former fellow Midnight Horsemen, Scotty Latimer. What's your game plan going into this match?

Kennedy gently guides Samantha’s hand, and the microphone, to him.

REESE KENNEDY: Samantha, there's no secret plan, no secret strategy. Hammerstein’s strategy against Mr. Latimer is the same as his strategy against his eight previous opponents.

“Hammerstein is going to go out to the ring and put on a clinic. He's going to outwrestle, outfight, and just all around outclass Mr. Latimer.”

“But don't take my word for it. Take it from the mouth of The World Champion.”

Kinsley hands the microphone to Hammerstein.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: It's been a long time, Scotty. We use to run things here and over in Lion’s Road. We use to live it up, wine, women, and song. Of all the Horsemen, I think you and I shared the strongest bond.

“Then you had to be culled.”

“And that's really the last time we had any interaction. Fast forward a few months. I'm the Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Champion, and you’re the number one contender.”

“And that's how it's always been. I'm at the top of the ladder, and you're a rung or two below me.”

“After I booted you and Billy from The Horsemen, I led them until I saw the need to put the group down. Then I took the ball and I ran with it, all the way to the top.”

“And history repeats itself tonight.”

“Tonight, Scotty Latimer, I take another step towards immortality. And you….”

“You get culled….again.”

“Let's go, Reese.”

Kennedy and Hammerstein walk out of frame, leaving Kinsley alone in frame.

[Robert Daniels]

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

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL and it is for the Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first the challenger from Brooklyn, New York. Weighing in at two hundred and twenty seven pounds and standing at six feet and three inches tall...SCOTTY--LATIMER!

Latimer slides under the bottom rope and waves to the fans on the hard camera side before standing on the second rope in the corner while his music fades and he awaits his opponent.

“Helter Skelter” by Zombie/Manson blares from the arena’s PA system and the crowd reacts with a roar as Hammerstein slowly steps through the curtain, Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship Title around his waist. Hammerstein is followed by his manager, Reese Kennedy. He stops at the top of the stage, drinking in the boos of the crowd, a huge sarcastic grin on his face. He waves his hands towards himself, inviting the crowd to get louder.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the champion! Accompanied to the ring by his Professional Representative, Reese Kennedy. Weighing in at two hundred and forty four pounds, from Los Angeles, California. Representing KILLSWITCH! He is the reigning Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion...the “AMERICAN MONSTER”...JACOB—HAMMERSTEIN!

Kennedy pats him on the back, and Hammerstein finally makes his way to the ring, stopping only to smirk and shake his head at the fans. He walks up the ring steps, wipes his boots on the apron, then hands the title belt to Kennedy. Kennedy holds the ropes open, and The American Monster climbs in the ring. As soon as he’s in the ring he runs as hard as he can into the turnbuckles, then turns and runs across the ring, slamming into the opposite corner. Hammerstein run to the corner to his left, climbs to the middle rope, and raises his arms in the air. He goes to the opposite corner, repeating the gesture and taking in the jeers of the crowd.

Hammerstein holds the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship in his hands and kisses it before handing it over to the referee. The official shows it to Latimer, who mouths “It’s mine” to Hammerstein, who responds by shaking his head.

The referee goes to the center of the ring and raises the belt high in the air before handing the belt off to a ringside official.

MAIN EVENT
SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
★★★ JACOB HAMMERSTEIN (C) ★★★
vs
★★★ SCOTTY LATIMER ★★★

The bell rings and the former partners meet in the center of the ring. Latimer extends his hand to Hammerstein, who half-shakes, half-slaps it in response. Latimer shrugs and backs away a step or two before locking up with The American Monster. Hammerstein grabs a side headlock and immediately begins wrenching on Latimer’s head.

CHARLES HUDSON: The Champion taking an early advantage here, and looking to cauliflower Scotty’s ears.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Latimer struggling to escape the headlock.

Latimer backs Hammerstein into the ropes, then shoots him across the ring, breaking the headlock. The Seattle Pro Champion comes off the ropes and takes Latimer down with a hard shoulderblock. Hammerstein looks down at Scotty, smiles, then hits the ropes again. The Challenger starts to get up, but hits the mat, causing Hammerstein to hop over him. Latimer springs to his feet and dropkicks him as he rebounds off the ropes. Hammerstein hits the mat and Latimer quickly goes for the cover, but doesn't even get a one count.

Hammerstein and Latimer go to lock up again, but Jacob driveses a knee into Scotty’s midsection, then hits a brutal forearm shot. Hammerstein pushes him against the ropes, then goes for an Irish whip. Latimer reverses, but Hammerstein grabs him by the wrist, pulls him in, and hits an Overhead Release Belly to Belly Hammerplex. Latimer arches his back, in pain from the impact of the throw.

The Champion gets to his feet and stalks Latimer. When the challenger gets to his knees, Hammerstein grabs him and nails him with a German Hammerplex. Hammerstein doesn’t release his grip. Instead, he rolls over and picks Latimer up for another German Hammerplex. Not content with two, Hammerstein rolls again and gets the trifecta by folding Scotty up with another German. Hammerstein let's go of the waistlock he had on Latimer. Hammerstein stands next to Scotty, who is struggling to get to his feet.

CHARLES HUDSON: And the Champ is looking to end it early.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: To borrow the phrase, he doesn't get paid by the hour.

Hammerstein waits for Latimer to get into position, then hits the ropes.

CHARLES HUDSON: He's setting up for The POUNCE!

But before Hammerstein can connect with the Pounce, Latimer drops him with a leaping enziguri. Scotty takes a second to shake the cobwebs, then delivers a beautiful standing shooting star press, coming down hard on Hammerstein’s sternum.

CHARLES HUDSON: Latimer quickly turns the tide.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He's going for the cover!

Latimer goes for the cover for 1...KICKOUT! Hammerstein is nowhere near weakened enough for the challenger to keep him down for that long. Latimer pulls the Seattle Pro Champion up and pushes him into the corner. Latimer fires a loud knife edge chop into Hammerstein's chest. The challenger hits another chop that sounds like a rifle shot. Hammerstein is nearly doubled over in pain from the shop, but Latimer won't let him. He pushes the champion straight, then lands an even louder chop that makes the American Monster yell out a curse word.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: F#####CK!!!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We'd like to apologize to those of you who may be offended.

CHARLES HUDSON: I guarantee that anyone would curse if they got chopped like that!

Latimer grabs Hammerstein by the wrist and Irish Whips him into the corner. Scotty rushes into the corner, but Hammerstein catches him and slammed him down hard with a urinage. Hammerstein starts stomping Latimer on the chest, ribs, and abdominals.

CHARLES HUDSON: Hammerstein has certainly evolved over the course of his World Title reign. He's thinking several moves ahead, several minutes ahead.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Evolved? He looks like the old American Monster, trying to stop Scotty Latimer's guts out.

CHARLES HUDSON: Think about it. With every stomp, Hammerstein is making it more and more difficult, more and more painful for Latimer to breathe. And when the time is right and he likes that Python Sleeper in, Latimer is going to be fighting for air. And with those damaged ribs, he won't be able to breathe. He's actually going to help Hammerstein squeeze the breath out of his own body. It's genius.

Hammerstein takes Latimer up in a bear hug, then rams him back first into the corner. He pick Scotty up in the air and rams him into the corner again. He releases Latimer, who falls into a seated position in the corner. Hammerstein sprints across the ring, slamming into the corner, before turning and running full bore into Scotty with a Cannonball. The World Champion gets up and attempts a second Cannonball, but Latimer rolls over the bottom rope to the floor, causing Hammerstein to slam back first into the corner and head first on the mat.

Hammerstein writhes on the mat, holding the back of his head and neck, while Latimer pulls himself up off the floor. The American Monster pulls himself up with the assistance of the ropes. Latimer slides in the ring and as Hammerstein gets to his feet, knocks him over the top rope with a running clothesline. Latimer gets the crowd worked up as he takes off from the ropes, leaves to the top rope, and with one foot, propels himself into a Corkscrew Dive.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: What a beautiful move by Scotty Latimer!

CHARLES HUDSON: and devastating! Hammerstein's on the floor and he's not moving!

Latimer picks Jacob up and, for good measure, drops him across the barricade before rolling him back into the ring. Latimer climbs to the top broke, and delivers a picture perfect Superfluous Leap onto Hammerstein and hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Latimer weights for Hammerstein to get to his feet, then drives him into the corner with the succession of alternating knee strikes to the abdomen and the head. Hammerstein can only cover up and try to weather this storm. Reese Kennedy yells at the referee to get Latimer out of the corner and off his client. Latimer looks over at the manager and gives him a smile and a wink before backing away and charging in with the V Trigger knee strike. The Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Champion staggers out of the corner and falls face-first to the mat. Latimer rolls him over and goes for the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Scotty pulls Hammerstein up in a vertical suplex position, then drops him across the top rope. This causes Hammerstein to bounce up words as ladder executes the slingshot suplex and textbook fashion. Latimer floats over into the cover, but again, the World Champion lifts the shoulder at the last second.

CHARLES HUDSON: I think Scotty’s beginning to get a little frustrated with Hammerstein getting that shoulder up.

Latimer grabs Hammerstein by the hair, pick them up, and delivers of Leaping Piledriver that spikes him on the top of his head. Jacob's body goes rigid as he falls sideways. As soon as Hammerstein hits the mat, Latimer is on him, locking in the crossface. As Reese Kennedy yells encouragement to him, Hammerstein fights his way to the ropes, getting the break.

Latimer gets to his feet, frustrated again by Hammerstein's ring positioning. The Seattle Pro Champion slowly tries to get up, but ends up seated against the ropes. Out of sheer frustration, Scotty superkicks him, causing him to flop backwards across the bottom row.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I think Hammerstein's out!

Almost as if he heard Lewis, Reese Kennedy takes action, grabbing an extra large soda from a fan at ringside and throwing the ice cold drink in his client's face. The Champion comes to and seemingly has caught his second wind. Latimer comes at Hammerstein, but the American Monster grabs him and hits a One-Man Flapjack, slamming him face-first onto the mat. The champion kneels over Scotty's back and pulls his head up, cradling his chin in his left hand. Jacob begins battering Scotty with brutal crossface forearms. Within seconds, Latimer's arms drop lifelessly across Hammerstein's legs, and his only moving is the recoil from the blows by the Champion. The referee goes to check Latimer to see if he's conscious, but Hammerstein shoves him away.

Hammerstein transitions from the surfboard position to standing with Latimer's head between his knees. Hammerstein picks Scotty up and slams him down with a powerbomb. Hammerstein holds onto Latimer and muscles him up for a second power bomb. He picks him up again, and completes the triple powerbomb with a spinning sit-out powerbomb. Unfortunately for Hammerstein, the sit out powerbomb landed too close to the ropes, allowing Latimer to drape his foot over the rope, bring up the pin attempt.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: And now it's Hammerstein who’s frustrated, as Latimer shows the guts that got him to this match.

Hammerstein is firmly in control and picks Latimer up and set them on the top turnbuckle, facing the audience. Everything gives the throat slashing motion, then backs up to Latimer. And pick some up by the underarms.

CHARLES HUDSON: if this is what I think it is, Latimer's done! This is the same movie Baja night with in Tokyo!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: If he hits The Hammersteiner 2.0, this will be successful defense number nine!

Latimer, however has other ideas, as he had scouted out the maneuver. He hits a hurricanrana to break up the move sending Hammerstein flipping over. Taking advantage of his quickness edge, Scotty hits the ropes as Hammerstein spins to his feet, and delivers another V Trigger to the Champion’s face. Hammerstein crumbles to the mat. Latimer climbs to the top rope and delivers the spiral tap to the champion. He covers, but Jacob kicks out at what seems to be two and seven-eighths. Latimer powers Hammerstein back up and body slams him.

Scotty climbs to the top rope and pats his elbow.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Latimer’s getting ready to hit The Magiranger!

CHARLES HUDSON: And he's got the Champion in his sights!

Out of nowhere, Hammerstein explodes to his feet and posts Scotty! A series of unly forearm shots render Latimer nearly unconscious. The American Monster climbs up and hooks Scotty. He picks Latimer up and drops off the second turnbuckle with a super Hammersteiner!

CHARLES HUDSON: OH MY !

MCKAYLA LEWIS: THAT’S IT! IT’S OVER!

Exhausted, Hammerstein slowly covers Latimer and hooks the near leg. The referee drops to make the three-count, signifying the ninth title defense and Hammerstein's legendary title reign.

Except he notices Latimer's far foot laying across the bottom rope and calls for the break. Hammerstein looks at the referee in shock for a moment, then goes back to work. He grabs Latimer and looks into the dazed eyes of his most tenacious challenger before hooking him in again. He picks Latimer up for another Hammersteiner, but Scotty knees him right on the bridge of the nose. Jacob drops Scotty, who catches him with THE FINAL WAVE! Latimer doesn't go for the pin, deciding to lift Hammerstein again and hit another FINAL WAVE! Latimer floats over and slowly lifts Hammerstein up again. With his last bit of energy, he hits a third FINAL WAVE! Latimer collapses on top of Hammerstein. The referee drops to make the count for 1...2...3!!!

Hammerstein lifts his left shoulder, but it's far too late as the referee makes the three count almost one whole second before Hammerstein can roll the shoulder.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner and NEW Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion...SCOTTY—LATIMER!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: SCOTTY LATIMER HAS DONE IT! HE’S THE NEW SEATTLE PRO WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

CHARLES HUDSON: SCOTTY LATIMER JUST PINNED THE MOST DOMINANT CHAMPION IN THIS COMPANY'S HISTORY! I AM IN SHOCK, AND SO ARE THESE CHICAGO FANS!

The crowd is stunned as Latimer rolls off Hammerstein and slowly gets to his feet. The crowd rises to their feet as the referee hands Latimer the title and raises his hand in victory. Scotty drops to his knees in the middle of the ring, cradling the Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Championship in his arms.

Hammerstein is still lying on the mat. A solemn Reese Kennedy talks to him and pours water over his head. Using the ropes, Hammerstein pulls himself up onto unsteady legs. Hammerstein stares at Latimer, then nods his head at him before dropping to the mat and rolling out onto the floor. The Chicago crowd cheers the former champion, respecting his dominance and this Title reign. Surprisingly, Hammerstein shakes hands and high-fives the fans as he slowly walks to the back, leaning on Kennedy for support.

ALL OUT!

STOMP—STOMP

ALL OUT!

STOMP—STOMP

The crowd cheered heavily for Scotty as he started looking around the ring with tears in his eyes.

YOU—DESERVE—IT!

CLAP...CLAP...CLAP—CLAP—CLAP!

YOU—DESERVE—IT!

CLAP...CLAP...CLAP—CLAP—CLAP!

YOU—DESERVE—IT!

Scotty smiles as he walks over to the ring ropes and grabs the microphone. He places the belt over his shoulders and stands there exhausted and humbled. The Chicago crowd cheered wildly as Latimer just stands there. He finally puts the microphone to his lips.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Before I get started with the pleasantries….I want to thank Jacob Hammerstein for being an incredible World Heavyweight Champion. So if you all can give him a standing ovation for a minute or so I think he deserves that.

The audience all give Hammerstein a standing ovation and you can also hear MaKayla Lewis and Charles Hudson as well joining in. Scotty stands in the ring clapping as well. Everyone wanted Jacob to come out but he didn't obviously upset his reign came to an end. Scotty began talking again.

SCOTTY LATIMER: You know….I walked into this arena tonight thinking was everything I went through worth it. Was all of that worth it for me to finally get a shot at this belt against the most dominant champion in this company’s history. Now that I stand here with the Seattle Pro Heavyweight championship I realize that all of it honestly was.

Scotty smiles as Robb and Lauren Daniels were now at ringside applauding Scotty. Latimer sees them and moves his hands towards them.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Of course here are honestly next to you fans the first to thank. Robb Daniels gave me an opportunity two years ago despite not seeking me out to join Seattle Pro. Hell I honestly could have been his very first walk on to Seattle Pro wrestling wasn't I.

Robb shrugged as Latimer looked around.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Well….it looks like your chance you took on me worked out right. So thank you for the opportunity.

Robb waves at Scotty as he and Lauren start heading back up the ramp.

[SCOTTY LATIMER: And just think about it….finally after two years plus of this company being opened….you have a deserving World Heavyweight Champion!

The crowd stops as they look confused. Daniels stops and turns to look at Scotty.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Oh come on….why the look on your face. I mean you are looking at the reason why Seattle Pro Wrestling is still in business right?

Robb just shakes his head and walks backstage with Lauren as Scotty inside the ring continues.

SCOTTY LATIMER: It's story time with Scotty!!

The crowd erupts as Latimer sits down Indian style in the middle of the ring.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Let's go back a little over a year ago shall we to when the Midnight Horsemen were running this company. You wanna know who's idea that stable was….yep that was mine. I got Billy Danielson…

The Chicago crowd pops for their hometown boy as Scotty stops to allow them. He shrugs his shoulders and continues.

SCOTTY LATIMER: I asked Coral Rose and Jacob Hammerstein to join...hell Jacob Hammerstein became a superstar in this business because of me! He got the edge and the intensity that he so sorely lacked before he joined the Horsemen. And do you you all want to know the kicker? They all became World champions. Yeah...even ing Coral Rose became a World champion. Hell it took another Horseman to relinquish her of that belt...Chicago’s own Billy Danielson.

The crowd pops again for Danielson.

SCOTTY LATIMER: And believe me...he took advantage as champion with being a Horseman...and when the Midnight Horseman died so did his title reign.

The crowd boos loudly as Scotty just shrugs.

SCOTTY LATIMER And the worst part was he lost it to another joke of a champion in Bryan Blaze. His second title reign nonetheless while Scotty Latimer was stuck facing AJ knows that constantly until he finally got lucky and beat me for the Pride championship. Everyone in the Horsemen got their shot and I thought finally it was my time…..but no I was stuck carrying Billy Danielson again and became tag team champions with him.

The crowd had fully turned on Scotty as he kept going.

SCOTTY LATIMER: I'm sorry if the truth hurts...but your hero keeps proving he can't get shit done on his own. That's why he's in the Dogs of War right?  But let's get back to my story. Month after month after month goes by and Scotty Latimer still never got his title shot. And what's even shittier is everyone in the wrestling World knew it was a crime that I never got a shot at this. But you know what...I was fine with it. Even when I got kicked out of the Horsemen almost a year ago I knew without ME it would fall apart and it did. I was fine with not getting what I deserved because I was the new happy go lucky Scotty that changed for another person that ended up stabbing me in the ing back!

The crowd knew who he was talking about and cheered wildly.

SCOTTY LATIMER: But here's the thing….I said recently I was going to get what I deserved….and tonight I beat the most dominant champion in this company’s history. A man that I molded into a champion...made an American Monster!...and it took me my first try. 8 title defenses...and a schedule of who he was facing afterwards. But Scotty Latimer…#TheElite!!...that only needed one shot....put the Monster back in his cage! Finally...I'm your Seattle Pro World Heavyweight champion!

The crowd gave him a mixed reaction.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Come to think of it….I only want to thank myself...because as far as this company goes I accomplished this all on my own. So why should I praise Jacob Hammerstein and Robb and Lauren Daniels. I did this on my own! Oh and as far as thanking the fans? You can all bend down...pucker up….and kiss my superior f**king ass just like the rest of the Seattle Pro locker room can. Because you all are looking at MR. SEAT—!

Scotty drops the microphone and holds the title belt up. He leaps out of the ring and passes by the commentary desk. Makayla just shakes her head as Scotty jaw jacks her yelling at her to call him Mr. Seattle Pro from now on.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Finally it appears Robb Daniels has pulled the plug on this egomaniac.

CHARLES HUDSON: Latimer is going to be an awesome Champion...

He looks at Hudson who was sucking up to Latimer. Scotty arrogantly walks up the ramp as he cusses at a now hostile Chicago crowd. The show fades to Latimer holding up the Heavyweight title above his head with a smirk on his face.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen...FUSION 6 will go down as a historic night for Seattle Pro Wrestling as we’ve crowned four new champions...we’ll see you in two weeks in San Antonio, Texas for MAINSTREAM 15. Good Night!
