BOSTON, MA

MAINSTREAM WRESTLING IS LIVE FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS FROM THE TD GARDEN...HOME OF THE BOSTON CELTICS!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Ladies and Gentlemen we’re Live on the Battleground Network from the TD GARDEN right here in BOSTON!

The crowd is buzzing for the first episode of “Mainstream Wrestling” when suddenly the lights go out.

GREATEST
OF
ALL
TIME

"Born for Greatness" by Papa Roach plays as the crowd buzzes, as the crowd goes nuts. The first verse plays out, causing more anticipation. As the verse comes to the end it pauses for a moment. All of the lights go out again, but then come right back on in full brightness!!!

NO WE'RE NOT NAMELESS
WE'RE NOT FACELESS
WE WERE BORN FOR GREATNESS!!!

Suddenly, the "Face of the Franchise" Billy Danielson walks out from behind the curtain to a huge pop, as he makes his way down to the ring. He's dressed in all nice clothes, high-fiving fans as he makes his way to the ring. He wipes his feet before going up to the apron, and into the ring. The fans continue to cheer as Danielson gets a microphone from a ring hand

BILLY DANIELSON: Almost three years ago, I was in the main event of the FIRST ever Seattle Pro Show that Robb Daniels booked. Six months later, I would go on to be in the main event of the first ever Conflict, Mainstream, and Fusion events for this company. So it was only fair that the guy that has become the “Face of the Franchise” both opened and closed the first episode of Mainstream Wrestling…

The crowd pops in agreeance to Billy, as he looks around the arena with a smile.

BILLY DANIELSON: You see I’ve spent over 1000 days carrying this flag, where my opponent for tonight Bryan Blaze, has bounced in and out of relevancy for yea-

Just then Bryan Blaze runs into the ring from nowhere and jumps Billy. Danielson and Blaze begin to the brawl all over the ring. Bryan pulls Billy’s suit jacket over his head and begins to knee Danielson in the face, but Danielson’s strength launches him with a back body drop. Danielson takes off his jacket, tie, and shirt as he goes back to Blaze, who rakes his face!

Danielson grabs his face as Blaze gets up again, as he goes for The Heatwave springboard Enziguri… But Danielson catches him in air and slams him down with a power slam. Danielson and Blaze continue to trade mounted punches, rolling back and forth as Security finally gets to the two former world champions off of each other. Danielson obliges and sits in his corner, but Blaze slips through the guards and leaps onto Danielson. They continue to brawl, but get pulled apart again. This time, it’s Danielson who slides through the ropes, before running around the ring and attacking Blaze from behind. Danielson drags Bryan through the ropes and begins delivering knees to Blaze’s face.

Another pull apart, as members of the locker room come out as well to separate these guys. They’re able to get Bryan Blaze up the ramp and keep Danielson at ringside despite both men trying to break through the crowd separating them. Danielson marches over to the timekeeper’s area and steals a microphone.

BILLY DANIELSON: I’M DONE WITH THIS, BRYAN!!! YOU WANNA TRY TO END MY CAREER? YOU WANNA TRY AND JUMP ME EVERY CHANCE YOU GET BECAUSE YOU BLAME ME FOR YOUR FAILURE TO BE MAINSTREAM’S FRANCHISE??? FINE!!! LET’S PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE!!! CAREER VERSUS CAREER!!!

The crowd goes ballistic!!! Blaze yells he accepts from the top of the ramp and continues to scream “I’m going to end you”.

CHARLES HUDSON:  Well what a pleasant surprise for tonight?

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Pleasant? Charles, it’s anything but pleasant: one of these two men will lose their career tonight. There livelihood is on the line!

CHARLES HUDSON:  Now that you put it that way it does sound a bit extreme.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Ladies and Gentlemen you’ve heard it here first later tonight in the Main Event it will be Billy Danielson and Bryan Blaze facing off in a Career versus Career bout! We’re going to take a commercial break and we’ll return with the presentation of the Mainstream Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!

[Robert Daniels]

The opening chords of the intro to "Purple Rain" by Prince begins as the lights in the arena dim. A light fog fills the entrance ramp as deep purple and pink strobes begin to light up the ramp and the entrance way.

♫ I never meant to cause you any sorrow...I never meant to cause you any pain ♫

The crowd begins to buzz as the ramp continues to fill with the light fog.

♫ I only wanted to one time to see you laughing...I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain ♫

From the back emerges Sean Isaac Leonard Kennedy walking slowly and seductively towards the top of the ramp. His gold framed glasses glisten from the reflection of the strobe lights while his bandana looks to be lit up by the strobes as well, giving it a black light effect to make it look as if it's glowing. His shirt is open and his purple silk wrestling pants slightly sparkle as well thanks to the lighting effects. SILK holds his hands out, taking in all the cheers from onlooking women and the jeers from the jealous men next to them as he holds the Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Championship high. He inhales the love and the hate deeply before turning back towards the entrance way and using both hands to motion for something or someone back there to come out.

Suddenly, his tag team partner Cartier emerges from the back to a large pop from the crowd. She meets him at the top of the ramp, looking as beautiful as ever and SILK gets on both knees and begins playfull praising his partner and best friend. He stands up and the two lock arms as they begin their onward journey down to the ring, both walking slowly and taking in the atmosphere that surrounds them.

SILK helps Cartier up the steps and then opens the ring ropes for her to enter. He then hops in himself between the top and middle rope. He begins spinning around with his arms open wide in the middle of the ring as the Seattle Pro Title flails around in his right hand and Cartier poses next to him while a spotlight shines brightly down on the two, collectively known as Thot Chocolate. The lights come up and the music cuts out to reveal Robb Daniels standing there, next to a pedestal which holds the newly designed Mainstream World Heavyweight Championship on top of it.

After looking down for a moment at the Seattle Pro World Title in his hands that SILK’s held for over 140 days, he hands it over to Robb Daniels. Robb nods and then motions for SILK to go ahead and take the new Title. SILK grabs it and raises it high as cameras flash and the crowd pops at the first sight of it being lifted up on national television. SILK asks for a mic and its handed over to him by the ring announcer.

SILK: 148 days…

A smile overtakes the face of the World Champion as he looks down at the Mainstream World Title in his hand.

SILK: Not only is ya boi the FIRST ever African American to hold the Seattle Pro/Mainstream World Championship but I’m also officially the LONGEST reigning!

The fans give a thunderous applause in response and even Cartier can’t help but clap at the achievement of her partner.

SILK: But it ain’t gon’ stop there, no, you see, my beautiful partner Cartier has arrived here in Mainstream Pro Wrestling and Thot Chocolate plans to heat up the spot ‘til it’s scaldin’ hot!

He manages to receive a pop once more as the fans can only anticipate what these two, one of the hottest tag teams in wrestling, have in mind.

SILK: I’m sure those Tag Titles will come our way in time but fret not Dom and Annie, we don’t want ‘em juist quite yet, nah, Cartier has some other plans in store for cementin’ her spot on this roster and me, ya boi? Well, I’m standin’ at the top of the ladder, waitin’ to kick down the next jive jabroni that plans on reachin’ for the top rung!...

“Take It Off" by The Donnas

Trixie’s theme music, hits the PA, interrupting the Champ’s speech.

Trixie comes out of the curtain with a pair of sunglasses on for the entrance along with her brand new autumn outfit. A red floral mini dress with long sheer sleeves. She wore a pair of Ariana peep toe black block heels and hair full of volume and curled to cascade down her shoulders. Trixie stands on the stage with a confident smirk, showcasing her casual glamour makeover look and begins to walk down the ring. She glances at the fans either side, offering some a wave

She glances at the eyes and attention on her, but smiles accordingly. Her stride down to the ring is slow to allow for fans to get a glimpse of her. Trixie leaps onto the ring apron gracefully and stands on the apron for a moment to walk along it a step. There, she steps into the ring and comes face to face with SILK, drawing her eye to the title before thanking the staff member for handing her a microphone.

TRIXIE: Hey, SILK.

She says with her sweet tone and soaks in the arena's atmosphere.

TRIXIE: I thought I'd come out here to say congratulations on the new belt. I've really loved the whole makeover from Seattle Pro to Mainstream Wrestling, it's totally a brand new era.

Trixie now approaches Robb, with her finger directed to the Seattle Pro championship.

TRIXIE: But the Seattle Pro Championship has a lot of history and a lot of matches it's tied to. A whole lot of wars have been waged for that title.

She makes little glances to SILK in her talk and then finally turns, pointing her finger at the Mainstream Wrestling Title.

TRIXIE: But that title hasn't had any yet. And like they say….there's no time like the present.

She smiles with the fans cheering what she was getting to.

TRIXIE: So how's about you and I have a little title match. A collision of Da Trix Turners, right here in Boston, what do you say?

Trixie awaits SILK's and Robb's response with the crowd cheering, giving her some yes chants until...

“Becoming the Dragon” starts playing and everyone turns to the entrance ramp. Eli Buchanan, flanked by Riel, comes marching down to the ring. Eli whispers something to his brother and Riel goes around the ring and yells for a microphone before joining him in the ring.

RIEL: Hold the damn phone! If there is anyone in this company who deserves a shot at the World Title it’s the only damn wrestler that matters around here. He is the Shah of Suplexes, the Czar of Knee Strikes and one true King of Strong Style! He is Canada's greatest athlete, the only red haired wrestler that matters and the man you've all come to see. He is the Red Tiger! The Ginger Dragon! Ladies and gentle, I present to you the one AND ONLY true number one contender for the Seattle Pro World Title, Eli "F'N" BUCHANAN!

“Why, I’ll tell you. He has continued to succeed in this company this company despite how hard Robb Daniels and his yes men have tried to hold him back. He won last year’s Emerald City Cup, despite no one believing he had a chance. He went on to beat Scotty Latimer for the World Title and chased that idiot out of the company, and for that reason alone Mainstream Wrestling should be giving him as many title matches as he wants out of pure gratitude. He went on to defend the World Title against all comers, and when SILK decided he was too good to show up for his title match, he accepted a challenge at the last minute from AJ Knight, who got lucky and took advantage of an injury to beat my brother for the title, which put him on the shelf for a few months.

“How does Mainstream Wrestling award the Last Dragon? Was he welcomed back with open arms? Do they give him the first crack at the World Title when he was cleared to compete? NO! While we was kicking ass elsewhere and winning championships, he was being told, ‘We’ve got nothing for right now.’ ‘We won’t clear you to compete.’ And when he’s finally brought back he;s put in the ring with punks that my five year old nephew could beat. Even more insulting, when we ask for his deserved rematch for the World Title we were told, ‘read your contract, there’s no title rematches here.’

“BULL CRAP! I can name at least two occasions where title matches were awarded, but I guess that’s only for people that are Robb Daniels favorites! Those people he feels can bring more eyes on this company, like Hammerstein and ‘Da Troll Guy’. Well you forgot something, ROBB, maybe you should listen to your own advice because you see. A few months ago Natural Innovations Media purchased all rights and obligations to the WTC Destiny Crown Championship, and guess who has a contractual rematch, and with Mainstream Wrestling refusing to give Eli his rematch before unifying it with the World Title they are in breach of his contract!

“Robb Daniels, do the right thing. Give Eli Buchanan his much deserved World Title Shot. Not just because legally you’re obligated to, but because there is no one in this company that is on the roll that my brother is. He’s been undefeated in singles action for the past six months, here in Mainstream Wrestling, and everywhere else he’s competed for in that matter. He was the most dominant competitor ten man tag team match at Fusion 7, and the only reason his team didn’t win was because James Edwards walked out on his partners. Eli is the hungriest he has ever been, and at his most dangerous as well. NO ONE deserves a World Title shot more than he does, and he’s going to get… one way or the other. Choose wisely...”

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

As “Trying to Find a Balance” by Atmosphere hits throughout the PA system, DA #TROLL GUY Mariano Fernandez comes out on stage to the crowd’s cheering, and makes his way to the ring with the rest of the competitors.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Hey yo.

The crowd goes for a round of cheers, and DA #TROLL GUY glances at every other person in the ring - giving Trixie a longer, affectionate look.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Pretty crowded we find ourselves here tonight, right mang? Alright - I’m gonna make this simple. I’ve heard all these fine people make their cases for why they should challenge SILK for the NEW Mainstream Wrestling title. Trixie has deserved a shot for a long time…

Mariano nods at Trixie.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Eli you WAS World Champion back in Seattle, so I could see your claim too…

He shakes his head no, and spins around to the crowd.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: But I’m NOT done trying to get a shot of my own, mang.

The crowd erupts in cheers.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: I’ve been through several title shots before. I WANTED to win the Emerald City Classic to get that final time, but Billy Danielson beat me. Then came the whole crisis with NVR and Robb, and now we’re here in Mainstream Wrestling. And now that I got brought back here, it’s time I FINALLY get it done!

Before the rest of the competitors can say anything, Mariano raises a hand.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: Now I know, I know, mang. I ain’t saying anything AGAINST your claims. Like I said, all among you have a claim or an opportunity you’ve ALL deserved for a long time. I’m just saying that the same thing goes for me, mang. And as all of you want to act on those impulses of yours, the same case applies for me. Nothing more, nothing less, than the same desire for an opportunity to go against, and beat, and BECOME, the best in Mainstream Wrestling as a whole!

Another crowd reaction, and DA #TROLL GUY glances, with that winning smile of his, to every other competitor in the ring.

MARIANO FERNANDEZ: But since we seem to find ourselves at an impasse, chicos, perhaps it’s time for Robb Daniels—

Daniels smiles eagerly requesting a microphone from the stage hand at ringside. He turns looks over the the group standing before him. He looks down at the old Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship before addressing his roster.

ROBB DANIELS: Seattle Pro Wrestling will live on forever in our hearts. It’s my most proudest achievement in this business. This old championship title belt doesn’t even read ‘World’ on it but when Jacob Hammerstein defended it in Tokyo we finally reached World status! I’ll never forget the time I held up the title after a controversial ending between Declan Black and Blake Mitchell. How about the time AJ Knight stepped up when our reigning champion stepped out and he achieved the dream of holding this here championship!

Daniels holds the title up in the air.

ROBB DANIELS: I have nothing but fond memories when I think about this World Heavyweight Championship and now it goes back into the bag and inside my vault. Now Silk moves forward. Now WE ALL move forward. He has to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against someone right?

CROWD CHEERS

ROBB DANIELS: I couldn’t have imagined four more deserving options to first challenge Silk for the Mainstream Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship! Trixie, Eli or Mariano—it’s time to put up—or shut up! On Sunday, November 17th! MAINSTREAM WRESTLING 29–in Miami, Florida we’re going to have a Fatal Four-way in the Main Event for the Mainstream Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship...what do you say Silk?

Daniels flips the microphone and exits the ring first as Silk smiles and nods his head looking around the ring as Trixie and Mariano Fernandez appear to be satisfied but you can obviously tell Riel and Eli Buchanan would much rather received a one on one bout.

CHARLES HUDSON: What a match Lou!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: You heard it folks in Miami at Mainstream Wrestling 29 it’s Silk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Trixie, Eli Buchanan and Mariano Fernandez in the Main Event!

CHARLES HUDSON: How about Trixie just coming out and calling her shot? Mariano Fernandez too—I mean we all know Billy Danielson has his shot at the title after winning the 2019 Emerald City Classic back in the Summer but he has serious issues with Bryan Blaze that he feels he need to address first...

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We’re going to take a commercial break and when we return More Mainstream Wrestling!

SINGLES MATCH
★★★ ANAQUIN ADAMS ★★★
vs
★★★ CORAL ROSE ★★★

The bell rings and as the two competitors come in tight for a collar and elbow tie up, Anaquin quickly clamps on a headlock and squeezes hard down on Coral’s head. Coral backs them up into the ropes and tries to push Anaquin off, but Anaquin grips tighter and hangs onto the headlock. Anaquin then flips Coral Rose over onto the mat with a judo throw, then turns towards the ropes and as Coral gets to her feet, Anaquin drops her back down with a big boot to the face and makes a quick cover for 1...KICKOUT!

Anaquin pulls up Coral Rose and whips her into the ropes, on the rebound, Anaquin ducks and lifts her up high and over the top rope and Rose tumbles to the floor on the outside. Anaquin claps her hands and stomps her feet, getting the crowd motivated as she suddenly rushes towards the opposite rope, rebounds and as she reaches the ropes, leaps into the air -- plants her feet on the top rope it’s Coral Rose who leaps into the apron and nails her with a stiff forearm to the jaw as she tries to steady herself and Adams falls flat on her back inside the ring.

Coral Rose enters the ring through the ropes then immediately reaches down, pulling Anaquin Adams up by her hair, but stops once Anaquin is on her knees. Rose steps back before kicking Anaquin in her head with a shining wizard. Coral laughs while looking down at Anaquin before hooking the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Rose rolls over hovering over Anaquin before slapping her mouth and grabbing her by the head and pulling her up and into a side hide lock. Coral moves Anaquin to the middle of the ring while cinching the hold. She flips Anaquin over, causing her to land on her back on the mat. Coral let’s go of the hold, getting up before dropping multiple elbows down onto the chest of Adams. Just as she looks for one final one it’s Anaquin Adams who rolls out of harms way and Rose lands elbow first on the mat!

Anaquin takes a moment to catch her breath as she waits for Coral Rose to slowly rise to her feet. At the right moment, Anaquin charges in for a spear, but instead of spearing her through, lifts her up and spins around and falls backwards, dropping Coral Rose throat first on the top rope with a Stun Gun!

Rose remains standing and walks into the far corner retreating from Adams momentarily while nursing her neck and back. Rose turns throwing up both hands begging w to stop as Adams continues to back Coral Rose into the corner, Anaquin Adams lays in a series of stinging chops to the chest of the Queen. She pulls her out into the center of the ring and then reaches down and lifts her high up into the air with a military press as the crowd swoons at the strength of the “Universal Superstar”. Then Anaquin drops Rose face first onto the mat and then goes up into a handstand and the drops both of her knees onto the back of Coral Rose and follows with a hook of the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Anaquin Adams is up to her feet. Coral Rose charges her, but Anaquin ducks and then spins around and nails Coral Rose with a clothesline, putting her on the mat. Anaquin pauses for a moment to take in the crowd before she moves down towards Rose’s feet and pulls them up under her arms and then slowly begins to spin around into the Big Swing. The crowd begins to count with each rotation and just as she reaches three turns it’s Coral Rose who grabs the bottom rope breaking the hold and she pulls herself out of harms way.

Both competitors are dizzy and finally regaining there composure as Coral Rose is spewing trash talk towards Anaquin Adams and she grabs her by the hand and wrist! Rose looks to Irish whip Adams into the ropes but Adams stands firm and reversed but Rose stands firm as well. Rose flips Anaquin off with a middle finger catching her off guard and then Irish whips her into the ropes. Anaquin bounces off, while Coral spins, hitting Anaquin Adams with a thunderous back fist that she calls the ‘Spin of Destruction’. Rose hooks the leg and stops her feet in anticipation for the 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENA: Your winner by pin fall...CORAL—ROSE!

CHARLES HUDSON:  Coral Rose the seasoned veteran here with the win tonight!

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  She’s a former World Television and World Heavyweight Champion here in Mainstream Wrestling. Anaquin Adams has her hands full from the very beginning.

CHARLES HUDSON:  I saw some good stuff from the Mainstream Wrestling newcomer tonight! Very impressive ring awareness.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  After the break we’ll see the Mainstream Wrestling United States Championship presentation!

BACKSTAGE...

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: I am here with Mainstream Wrestling CEO Robb Daniels and Jason Cashe.

Daniels is holding a black velvet bag containing the new Mainstream Wrestling World Television Championship. He loosens the draw string and removes the championship from the bag and displays it for the camera.

ROBB DANIELS: Jason we have had careers that have run parallel for many years now. You are a valuable asset to Mainstream Wrestling and a very deserving Champion. At this moment you will be recognized as the Mainstream Wrestling World Television Champion...

Daniels exchanges the older championship title for the new and Cashe admires it before shaking Daniels hands prior to his exit. Kinsley now begins interviewing Jason Cashe.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ladies and Gentlemen...the Mainstream Wrestling World Television Champion, Jason Cashe. Tonight is an historic night as all of our Champions are being presented with their newly branded Championships. Jason, how are you feeling?

JASON CASHE: How am I feeling? I'm pissed off! I've taken losses in a Best of Series against a man I have admired and respected longer than most wrestlers have been lacing their boots. So being handed a Title with a new logo, a new name that gets represented by those who have earned them. I am feeling I don't deserve to hold it. I am feeling like I still have something to prove after so many years in this business. Who have I beaten while holding this belt?

Cashe adjusts the new TV Title on his right shoulder. On his left shoulder was the old model TV Title with the SPW logo still on it.

JASON CASHE: Squiggly The Clown? A violent man in face paint who's biggest claim to fame now is throwing a fireball from a rubber chicken in my face. Causing me to shave my beard almost to a bare.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: I think you look.. Cleaner!

JASON CASHE: I'm fresh like a new pair of socks but my performance as of late is decay. I stand here now and am telling you that something is going to change. I won't add new moves, I won't change theme music or adjust my look or ring gear because none of that changes the outcome of my performance. I am the Seattl-- The Mainstream Wrestling World Television Champion and I don't want the easy button. I don't want the new faces and up and comers to defend this title against because it does nothing for prestige. Mine or this Title. So Robb Daniels, management in general? Line up the Buchanan's, the Annie's, the fooking Blaze's who are legit threats to taking this Title! As seen on TV, too hot for Television! I will be right here, holding this Championship and when you step up, you should expect to redefine the prestige of this promotion moving forward. NVR can kiss my dic--

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Whoa! We cannot have that kind of language on Mainstream!

Shrugging, Cashe lifts the newer model TV Title from his shoulder. He holds it up for the camera to see.

JASON CASHE: Mainstream? Heh.. I'm not sure I belong or have earned my place. My past both haunts me and carried my name but as long as I have this belt on my shoulder or around my waist? Challengers should expect to get pissed on. The Mainstream of my main vein and as they look up to the ceiling, half dazed with their mouths open.. They will find that the taste of me will solidify the feeling of their defeat. I AM your World Television Champion! Come change that. Thank you Samantha..

Leaving the scene, Cashe leaves Samantha Kinsley by herself. She smiles and nods to the cameras.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Back to ringside...

[Robert Daniels]

BACKSTAGE...
Chris Constantine Jr. and Samantha Kinsley are preparing for a backstage interview. The two go back and forth about what should be said, but it’s soon interrupted as Robb Daniels makes his way into the scene with the Mainstream Wrestling United States Title in hand. CCJ has a huge grin on his face as his attention is lured away from Kinsley. Shoving her face away, Chris looks like he’s about to give Robb a huge hug but stops when Robb extends his hand out to block the hug. Picking up the UWL World Title from a nearby table, Chris can’t help but examine the newly made United States Championship.

CHRIS CONSTANTINE JR. You know, I was proud of being your Seattle Pro United States Champion because who’s more patriotic about his country than me? That being said, though, I’m glad you got rid of the Seattle Pro name because let’s be honest, Robb. Seattle sucks. Nothing but a bunch of far left hippies living on top of their own human s***. So goodbye Seattle Pro, and hello Mainstream Wrestling!

CCJ is about to grab the title from Robb but stops when he notices that he has the UWL World Championship still in his hands.

CHRIS CONSTANTINE JR. Oh. I’m sorry Robb. Forgot that I was holding the UWL World Title in my hands that I beat you for. Would you be a pal and put it around my waist so that I can properly hold the new Mainstream WrestlingUnited States Championship?

Instead of helping CCJ out, Robb shoves the title into CCJ’s chest and walks off leaving CCJ confused.

CHRIS CONSTANTINE JR.: Could you be a sport and put the United States title around my waist, Robb! Robb? Robb?!? ROBB?

[Robert Daniels]

TAG TEAM MATCH
★★★ AJ KNIGHT ★★★
&
★★★ JAMES EDWARDS ★★★
vs
★★★ BRYAN FORD ★★★
vs
★★★ CHRIS CONSTANTINE JR. ★★★

The bell rings and it’s the United States Champion Chris Constantine Jr. starting this one off with former World Heavyweight Champion AJ Knight. The two men come together with a collar and elbow tie up where Knight immediately kicks CCJ in the midsection doubling him over.

With CCJ hunched over, AJ comes over and is about to perform a move on him but CCJ quickly stands up and pokes AJ in the eye. CCJ would immediately give AJ a side headlock and apply it tight as he screamed out at the crowd that it was “HEADLOCK CITY BABY.”

The crowd would boo as they knew that CCJ was going to apply the hold as long as he could. AJ, the season vet, would bounce CCJ off the ropes and break the hold, but CCJ would apply the hold again after knocking AJ with a shoulder tackle and applying the headlock again. AJ would again get out of the hold as he would squirm his way out of CCJ’s grasp and apply his own headlock, but CCJ would grab the hair causing AJ to break the hold and CCJ immediately grabbing again for the headlock.

Edwards isn’t pleased with this comedy act and yells at CCJ to wrestle. CCJ isn’t amused by the commentary and spits at the direction of Edwards. Not pleased, Edwards immediately comes into the ring but gets kicked in the gut and gets locked up in a front face lock by CCJ while he’s still applying the side headlock on AJ. The crowd, who usually wouldn’t cheer for CCJ, can’t help but cheer and get a “HEADLOCK CITY” chant going.

Knight shoves CCJ out of the side headlock into the ropes and as he comes back from its Knight dropping Constantine Jr. with a stiff shoulder block! CCJ drops to the mat hard and rolls out of the way creating some distance from AJ. AJ runs over to CCJ, hoping to maybe clothesline CCJ out, but CCJ sees AJ running and hits AJ with a stun gun. AJ holds his throat as CCJ takes a breather. Picking AJ up. Chris gives AJ a knife edge chop that echoes throughout the arena. The fans give a WOOOO! Chris then gives another chop, and another and another until AJ is back up against a corner rope. CCJ gives AJ a stiff kick to the gut before climbing the ropes and delivering punches to the top of AJ’s head.

The crowd reacts by counting along for 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...CCJ hops off and has a word with the ref who was telling CCJ to get off while he was punching away on AJ. Keeping the referee distracted, CCJ hits AJ in the balls with a stiff mule kick that sends AJ doubling over and holding onto his midsection. The ref sees AJ and immediately goes after CCJ who holds up his hand and proclaims he did nothing wrong.

CCJ back peddles into his corner and puts out his hand and Bryan Ford makes the tag and enters the ring quickly. Bryan throws a line as AJ hooks his arm and spins Bryan around grabbing him from the waist! Bryan breaks the hold falling to the floor and scoots under AJ's legs, taking his ankle and dropping him face first onto the mat. Ford comes up to his feet and jumps up crashing down with an elbow drop to the back of the head!

Bryan Ford pulls Knight up and irish whips him towards the ropes only for AJ to spin around and reverse it! Ford hits the ropes bouncing off as he then ducks a clothesline from Knight jumping up onto the middle rope as he then moonsaults off of it onto Knight sending him down to the mat hooking the leg with momentum for 1...2...BREAK!

Edwards would make the save and as CCJ would try to re-enter the ring the official would stop him first allow Edwards to pull Knight closer to his corner. Edwards would exit the ring to the apron and the referee would restore order and Edwards would stomp the apron looking for the hot tag. Just as Knight makes the tag so does Bryan Ford and both Edwards and CCJ storm the ring!

CCJ bows up in the center of the ring and throws up a time out sign, CCJ rolls out of the ring and takes a breather with his wife. Edwards isn’t having any of it as he slides under the ring and slams CCJ up against the guardrail. Edward tosses CCJ back inside the ring and is about to follow as he has one leg inside the ring, but he stops as Bryan starts to talk smack to Edwards. As Edwards attention is towards Bryan, Olivia comes from behind and grabs hold of Edwards ankle. Annoyed, Edward tries to kick Olivia off. Edward doesn’t notice that CCJ is back up to his feet and immediately goes over to Edwards and connects with a Dragon Leg Whip with the one leg that’s inside the ring. Holding onto his leg and falling to the ground, CCJ drags Edwards to the center of the ring, kicks the back of Edwards leg, and then applies the Red, White, and Tap out Figure Four Leg Lock. CCJ has a huge grin on his face and yells at Edwards to “TAPOUT YOU SON OF A BITCH!”

CCJ gets brought up but immediately gives a knee to the stomach of Edwards. This is quickly followed by an elbow to the head and CCJ grabbing Edwards head and slamming it to the mat. Bouncing off the ropes, CCJ delivers a knee drop and goes for the pin. But he only gets a two and gets annoyed at the referee for not counting fast enough. CCJ gets up and starts to give kicks to Edwards shoulder. Then wrist. Then hip. This is soon followed up by the leg, the knee, the foot, the other knee, the other leg, the other hip, the other wrist, and other shoulder. While all of this is going on, CCJ is telling Edwards how much he sucks. Stopping at the head, CCJ bends over and yells at Edwards face that he hopes he dies and gives him a slap on the face. The crowd boos as Chris gives a smile and dusts his hand off before tagging Bryan Ford back into the match.

Bryan Ford charges James Edwards but is bypassed and sent over the top rope! He floats for a second regaining body control as he lands feet first onto the apron. He waits for Edwards to turn around before slingshotting through the middle rope connecting with a spear he hooks the leg for 1...2...BREAK!

Knight has broken up the count and CCJ hits the ring as well. This time the official can not prevent CCJ from getting in on the action but with a flying lariat he sends both Knight and himself over the top rope with a clothesline and the two begin battling on the floor! Ford throws a superkick but it's ducked by Edwards. Ford then eats a vicious forearm that spins him around dazing only for a moment before Ford falls back missing a pele kick on Edwards! James Edwards is up and stalking the downed Bryan Ford! Oh no! Ford is on a single knee but it’s Edwards with the ‘Violent Gospel’! CCJ and Knight are tussling outside the ring as Edwards makes the cover for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENA: Your winner by pin fall the team of AJ...KNIGHT and JAMES—EDWARDS!

CHARLES HUDSON:  Talk about a 180 turnaround Lou’

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  That’s an impressive come from behind victory by the team of AJ Knight and James Edwards!

CHARLES HUDSON:  I don’t know if I’ve seen as much main event singles talent in one tag team match in my life!

Following the match CCJ and Bryan Ford are arguing with each other over the loss. CCJ is blaming Ford while Ford is telling Chris to calm down. Chris doesn’t want to hear it as he shoves Ford. Ford doesn’t care for this and immediately shoves Chris hard enough that it knocks Chris to the ground. Stunned that Ford knocked him down, CCJ rethinks everything and calmly apologizes to Ford. Telling him that he lost his cool and that he realizes that he overreacted. Chris extends his arms out and looks for a hug from Ford. Ford is a little hesitant at first but gives a hug to his old pal CCJ who then immediately drops Bryan Ford with a low blow!

Ford drops to his knees as Chris gives a crooked smile and gives him two middle fingers to his former friend. CCJ would then put Ford between his legs and execute the American Style Pile Driver! Angrily Chris Constantine Jr. rolls out of the ring and grabs the hand of Olivia. The two make their way to the back as the medical staff check up on Ford.

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Ladies and Gentlemen it looks like things have finally boiled over for Chris Constantine Jr and Bryan Ford. We’re going to take a commercial break and we’ll be back with more Mainstream Wrestling!

BACKSTAGE...
We open on a dark and smokey room with a single light. Voices can be heard in the background, bit nobody can be seen. Suddenly there's a voice.

? ? ?: At Fusion, I was denied my redemption. I was denied a chance to represent my home as a warrior and as a destroyer.

Slowly, the former NVR World Champion and younger brother of Mainstream Wrestling Hall of Famer Billy Danielson, Jimmy Pagan walks into the singular spot light. His face painted with that half-skeleton face as he stares daggers into the camera.

JIMMY PAGAN: I am a redeemer. I am a savior. So when I was assaulted, when I was prevented from redeeming my home and saving individuals who needed it, I found a new calling.

Jimmy stands aside for a moment, to reveal that there are four photos on the wall behind him. One for each man that jumped him at Fusion.

JIMMY PAGAN: Jason Cashe ... Eli Buchanan ... Bryan Ford ... Chris Constantine Jr. ... You took something from me. You stole my shot to represent my home. So now, I will baptize you with the same pain you gave me. I will take what's dear to you.

The Sin Eater pauses for a moment.

JIMMY PAGAN: I won't take your gold, or your fame. I'm going to take your livelihood. I'm going to take what makes you who you are, and I'm going to make it into the very thing that crucifies you. I am coming for all of you, and if you don't think the Sin Eater will save you... you clearly don't know who I am...

Pagan begins to laugh maniacally as the light bulb above him begins to buzz and then bursts, causing everything to blackout and transition into the next part of the show.

[Robert Daniels]

PREVIOUSLY ON NVR HALLOWEEN HORROR FIGHTS...
The show returns from the break to find Caleb Jackson in the ring with a microphone in hand. Beside him stands a table with a contract and a pen set on it. The crowd here in Orlando are pumped up, ready for what’s to come next as the NVR owner lifts the microphone to his lips.

CALEB JACKSON: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the NVR World Tag Team Champions--

The crowd’s excitement doesn’t waver, but some of the cheers turn to boos despite the heroic performance at Fusion! But sure enough, “Low Self Opinion” starts playing throughout the arena as Caleb continues.

CALEB JACKSON: --The Tenacious Wrecking Crew!

Right on cue, out step Annie Zellor and Dom Harter; the pair aren’t exactly dressed like they were earlier though; Harter still has his Joker makeup on and the NVR World Tag Team title around his waist, but otherwise is just wearing an NVR t-shirt and jeans. At least he’s still in the spirit of Halloween, despite Mimi’s best efforts. Annie on the other hand has gone one step further; with a red and yellow bodysuit with a matching headband, it’s clear she’s Spider-Woman. Zellor also wears her tag title around the waist.

A small ‘TWC’ chant starts up among the few fans who are thankful for their victory over the Seattle Pro pairing at Fusion. Others are warming up to the pair, but there’s still some fans who despise them despite everything they’ve done for NVR! Fickle. Harter holds the ropes open for his fiancée, who enters the ring before him. The pair both glad hand Jackson as he offers out handshakes to his tag champions, before Caleb speaks again.

CALEB JACKSON: Guys, first off let me say thank you for what you did at Fusion, defeating Bailey Archer and CJ Cross, and bringing those belts home to NVR.

The applause line works, and again some of the fans actually cheer for the Tenacious Wrecking Crew. Harter acknowledges the cheers, telling the crowd to cheer louder with a hand gesture.

CALEB JACKSON: And for choosing the right side in this battle of the brands. I know it couldn’t have been easy to turn your back on Seattle Pro like that, but just let me tell you, we’re all glad you did.

ANNIE ZELLOR: It really wasn’t an easy decision…

CALEB JACKSON: But now we’ve just a small matter to attend to: the signing of your NVR contracts, and the official start of your NVR World Tag Team Championship reign!

Harter gestures towards Caleb, asking for the microphone. Jackson obliges, and Dom soon has the stick in hand as he readies himself to talk.

DOM HARTER: See, this is all we ever wanted. Earlier this year, when we went to Seattle Pro and unseated the undefeated Idolution as tag team champions-- Robb Daniels was quick to try and sign us. To lock us down, because he feared we’d go AWOL with his property…

The champions look at each other and shrug nonchalantly. Turns out Robb was right about that one.

DOM HARTER: ...which is fair enough in hindsight. But in doing so, in trying to get us to sign those contracts-- he was insulting. Let me tell you something, Caleb, he didn’t offer us anything near the amount you dangled in front of us. Because you, Caleb-- you do what it takes to survive, amirite!?

Jackson modestly accepts the compliment as Dom passes the microphone off to Annie.

ANNIE ZELLOR: ‘Cause we know you’ve always wanted a tag division here in NVR. And, like, what better way to kick things off than by poaching the Seattle Pro tag champions!

Again, Jackson nods in agreement, smiling to himself at the thought of his shrewd business dealings.

ANNIE ZELLOR: And we’re really thankful for that, Caleb. And-- as you probably know, that victory over CJ and Bailey at Fusion was not only our eighth defense of these titles, it was technically the first ever defense of the NVR World Tag Team Championships…

A small ‘NVR’ chant starts up, growing louder with each passing second as the Tenacious Wrecking Crew and Caleb Jackson all look on smugly in the center of the ring. Zellor’s smug grin fades away as she lifts the microphone back to her lips again.

ANNIE ZELLOR: ...well, first and last.

Caleb looks to her confused, albeit only for a brief moment before he turns to Harter, who’s peeling off his NVR t-shirt to reveal a ‘Bygones’ shirt underneath. The confusion turns to horror on the face of Caleb Jackson as Harter promptly scoops him up, and he slams the NVR owner through the table with a spinebuster! The crowd erupts into a chorus of boos as Annie passes the microphone back to Dom.

DOM HARTER: As smart as you are, Caleb, you made the same damn mistake as Robb Daniels did. You gave us the chance to put the screws to him, and damn it felt good! But, as of right now, we’re free agents...and we’re taking our tag titles back with us!

“Low Self Opinion” by the Rollins Band starts up again as the Tenacious Wrecking Crew exit the ring and head into the crowd as the staff members head towards the ring. Annie and Dom heading towards the exits, holding those tag titles aloft one more time before they disappear out of sight, with the crowd still booing them as they go.

BACKSTAGE...
Robb Daniels is seen standing in front of a long black backdrop with the Mainstream Wrestling logo hanging behind him. He’s holding both the Mainstream Wrestling Tag Team Championships one in each hand with the straps folded neatly behind the title.

ROBB DANIELS: Ladies and Gentlemen what you’ve just seen is the Tenacious Wrecking Crew the reigning Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions declining yet another contractual offer from another reputable wrestling promotion. Now despite there recent ‘falling out’ with NVR Wrestling they are not here tonight to negotiate or accept these new beautiful championship titles in exchange for there now retired Seattle Pro Tag Titles.

Daniels pauses.

ROBB DANIELS: Despite my very best effort to retain the Tenacious Wrecking Crew we were unable to come to terms and we must now crown New Mainstream Wrestling Tag Team Champions...and I have a great idea. Earlier tonight I saw two former World Champions come together to form a duo with little experience together yet they could if great value in the Tag Division. So here’s my proposal AJ Knight and James Edwards will team one more time against a team to be announced at Mainstream Wrestling 29 for the Mainstream Wrestling Tag Teams Championships!

The camera shot comes in right on the championships as the scene fades to black.

MAIN EVENT
CAREER vs CAREER
★★★ BILLY DANIELSON ★★★
vs
★★★ BRYAN BLAZE ★★★

The bell doesn’t even get to ring before both men rush into each other and begin to fight. Punch after punch after punch and it’s very obvious that this isn’t a wrestling match, it’s a fight. Blaze uses his speed advantage to strike Danielson a lot faster and get his momentum going. He hits Danielson with a sickening forearm strike. Danielson stumbles to the ropes, as Bryan tries for a Cactus Jack-Style clothesline, but instead, Danielson throws him into the air. Blaze lands on the apron waiting for Danielson to turn around, and then kick Billy with a big rope-assisted kick. Danielson now stumbles to the middle of the ring, as Blaze springboards off the top rope looking for a flying forearm, but Billy hits a Chicago Blackout!!! The knee strike hits hard and Blaze just collapses to the mat, but Danielson doesn’t go for the cover. Instead, he begins to just punch Blaze in the face.

Danielson stands up, flexing as he hypes up the crowd. He turns his attention back to Blaze, and run towards him looking for some sort of kick or knee strike, but Blaze drops him with a drop-toe hold. Blaze takes this moment to pop to his feet and double stomp on the back of Billy’s head!!! He drives his knee into the back of Danielson and begins to smash Billy’s face into the mat, before locking in a rear chin lock. Danielson tries to muscle out of the lock, but Blaze transitions into a fish hooking Daniels’s facial orifices until the referee gets to a 4 count. Blaze drives some forearms to the back of the head before getting to his feet, hitting the ropes, and hitting a basement dropkick into the ribcage fo Danielson. Billy rolls away in agony, and Blaze hits a Moonsault Knee Drop! Blaze covers 1… 2… Billy kicks out!

Blaze grabs Billy by the hair and drags him to the ring ropes. He begins to choke Danielson by standing on the back of his neck and pulling the top rope for leverage. The referee gets to a 3 count before Blaze springboards off of Billy, hits the ropes, and goes for a tiger feint kick, BUT BILLY CATCHES HIM!!! Danielson pulls Bryan through the ropes and begins ground and pound him. Blaze is barely able to get away as he escapes to the outside, Danielson Decides to go high risk in a case of desperation, as he goes for an over the top rope diving plancha STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR!!! NOBODY HOME AS BLAZE MOVES AWAY!!! Danielson grabs at his back, as Blaze lands a penalty kick right to the face of Danielson. Billy’s face is now covered in blood, and his tailbone is probably broken, but Blaze still isn’t done.

Bryan uses all of the 10 count to just stomp Billy’s head into the ring steps. He puts Danielson in and climbs to the top rope and goes for a 450, but Billy rolls out of the way. Blaze lands on his feet, however, and into the opposite corner, springboards off of the top turnbuckle as he turns around delivers a Shining Wizard to the back of the head of Danielson, whos trying to use the corner to get to his feet. Billy’s face crashes into the middle turnbuckle, and goes for a reverse DDT into a Dragon Choke, basically doing an inverted Combustion lock, but Danielson is able to roll backwards into an awkward pin attempt. 1… 2… Blaze releases the hold as Danielson stumbles backwards to his feet. Blaze swings at Danielson, not actually landing anything until he collides into the ropes.

More brawling, because as mentioned this isn’t a wrestling match, but a fight. Danielson and Blaze trade forearms in the corner, Billy’s bigger size keeping him from getting crushed, but he’s gotta get out of there. He shoves Blaze, who does a back roll, and Danielson lands a massive Chicago Blackout. Blaze only goes to a knee, but now it’s Danielson locking in some Muay Knees to the face of Blaze. Blaze starts to go limp and this is when Billy transitions his clinched headlock into a big deadlift suplex postion-JACK HAMMER!!! Danielson slams Blaze with auth-or-i-taaaayy and goes for a pin attempt, but Blaze kicks out at 2.999693 and the crowd is LIVING for it. Danielson slaps the mat, before punching Blaze in the face five or six times. He whips Blaze into the ropes- PSYCHOUT CHICAGO BLACKOUT!!! Danielsn covers his enemy 1… 2… Kickout by Blaze!!!

The match starts to slow down, as the high tempo-fighting style of this match has taken a lot out of these guys already. Blaze has gotten his momentum back for the time being, and has Danielson in a deep abdominal stretch, digging his fingers into rib-cage of Billy. Danielson tries to break free, but Blaze’s smaller size makes it harder for Danielson to get out. Danielson is finally able to do a hip toss, but Blaze lands on his feet. Blaze hits the ropes, and Danielson tries to catch him with another Chicago Blackout, but Blaze catches the knee and pushes it away. Billy uses the momentum from Bryan’s Block and tries for a spinning knee strike, but Blaze ducks it and goes for a chop block that takes Danielson to a knee. Blaze hits the ropes again, and Billy goes to counter his momentum again by popping Blaze up in the air. Not quite sure what Danielson was going for, because Blaze is able to use the massive air time to hit a hurricanrana! Blaze waits for Billy to get up, before hitting the ropes and delivering his Clothesline from Nova Scotia!!!

Danielson just can’t seem to get out of the gate anymore, as Blaze seems to have an answer for everything. High speed strikes from the first ever Emerald City Classic winner keeps the first ever Grand Slam champion at bay. Palm thrusts and stiff kicks just keeps Billy on his knees. Danielson is able to get some counter strikes in, but they just aren’t impactful enough to keep Blaze from maintaining his momentum. Running blockbuster takes Danielson to the mat now, and Bryan Blaze decides to go to the top rope. He sets up for his “Blazing” Phoenix Splash. Blaze leaps into the air AND IS CAUGHT WITH A CUTTER!!! Danielson pulls “Thinning the Herd” out of his ass, but it hits its mark dead on. Blaze is glassy-eyed, but Danielson is so exhausted that he can’t capitalize. The referee starts his count, and neither man even budges until the 7 count, but they get to their feet at 9. They amount of hyperventilating anger in their body languages SCREAMS that this is far from over.

They run towards each other, but Blaze outsmarts Billy leap-frogging him. Danielson rebounds off the ropes again, and another leap-frog from Blaze, hoping that Danielson will run out of steam. Billy rebounds again, but when Bryan goes to leap-frog, Danielson catches him with a spear! Blaze is bent in half, and Billy pins Blaze, but still another 2 count. Frustration, exhaustion, and Danielson’s own mortality starting to sink in as Danielson seems lost for words. The referee confirms that it was only two. Danielson goes more punches to the face, but like a trap, Blaze catches him at a modified gogoplata!!! Danielson is scrambling to get out of the hold, but where is he supposed to go in the center of the ring? Blaze continues to tear the recently healed shoulder/collarbone of Danielson as Billy starts to go limp and the referee does the arm test. Arm up, drop. Arm up, drops again. Arm up, AND IT STAYS UP AS HE STARTS TO SHAKE!!! Danielson scrambles to his feet DEADLIFT SITOUT POWERBOMB!!!

Not a soul is standing in the TD Garden Arena, except Blaze and Danielson, who are barely able to stay on their feet. Strike-Strike-Dodge seems to be the kneeling slap war that’s going on right now, as both men land one or two strikes before the other switches the momentum and hits their couple of strikes. Now we go to high speed chops, but Blaze has no more speed left, leaving Danielson’s heavyweight status to cause more devastating chops to the chest. Blaze catches Danielson’s hand AND BREAKS HIS FINGERS!!! Danielson grabs his fingers as Bryan Blaze lands a stiff dropkick straight to the chest of Danielson. Bryan uses the ropes to get some speed going, and lands a shooting star press into a sloppy cover for a 1… 2… 3NO!!! Danielson kicks out and now it’s Blaze questioning everything. A "Fight Forever" Chant breaks out!

Blaze begins to just rub his forearm into the already bloodied face of Danielson. The referee gets him off of Danielson, and Billy covers his face as Bryan gets to his feet. He stumbles over to Danielson, and begins to stomp on Danielson as Billy tries to roll to the ring ropes. Again the referee makes Bryan back away from Danielson, but instead he drags Billy to the center of the ring with a handful of hair and delivers “The Burn”!! The stunner connects, but Blaze is looking to end it as he climbs to the top rope. He sits on his perch, watching Danielson groggily get to his feet. Billy turns, looking for Bryan, but goes straight back to the mat as Blaze hits his Third Degree diving DDT!!! Blaze with another pin cover 1… 2… ANOTHER KICK OUT!!!

Bryan has decided he’s had enough and rolls to the outside. He takes a knife from beneath the ring, and the confusion of the crowd sets in. Luckily for Boston, Blaze doesn’t have murder on his mind… yet. He cuts the tape that holds the floor mats at ringside together, and begins to reveal the hard floor beneath the mats. The referee screams for Blaze to stop and get back in the ring, reaching a count of 8, but Blaze grabs a handful of Billy’s hair and drags him to ringside area. He positions Billy for a Canadian Destroyer flip driver, but luckily Billy is able to wake up in time and launches Bryan with a back body drop. Blaze lands on his feet, but Billy spins around, and whips Bryan into the apron - NO! Bryan goes for another tiger feint - NO! Billy catches him again and this time launches him with a swing toss onto the hard part of the floor!

Danielson breaks the count at 8, but goes right back to the outside. He goes back to Bryan, but gets kicked in the face. Bryan gets to his feet and some shots are traded, but Blaze rakes the eyes of Billy and this leads to Danielson stumbling elsewhere. Chop! Chop! Chop! The former 2x Mainstream Champion lights up the former 2x tag team champion. He springboards off the barricade - HEATWAVE!!! The enziguri connects and Danielson has to be out. Blaze looks over to that patch of concrete, and smiles. It takes him a minute to lift Danielson in the Fireman’s Carry, but he gets it and gets some running momentum with it - DIE!!! FOR!!! THIS!!! The death valley driver connects onto the hard concrete. Danielson is out, but the referee is at an 8. For as evil Blaze seems, he’s too egotistical to beat his arch rival of 3 years via count out, so he breaks the count and spends the next 8 count trying to get the near 50lbs heavier opponent into the ring. Blaze covers. 1… 2… 3-NO!!! DANIELSON BARELY GETS THE ARM UP!!! THE CROWD GROWS DEAFENING!!!

Blaze looks like he could cry. The near 30 seconds it took to get Billy into the ring and pin him apparently gave Danielson enough time to kick out. Blaze is done with this match, and with Danielson’s resiliency. He goes to the corner and removes ALL of the turnbuckle covers from that specific ring post. The referee tries to stop Blaze, but Blaze throws a turnbuckle pad into the face of the ref. Bryan goes to his opponent, whos just now starting to stir past his miraculous kickout. He begins to pull Billy up by his arm, looking to lift Billy back up to his shoulders, but BILLY DOESN’T BUDGE!!! Blaze tries to pull him, but instead, Danielson is able to wrap him up and hit a ripcord Chicago Blackout!!! Danielson throws the arm over Bryan Blaze… 1… 2… KICKOUT BY BRYAN BLAZE!!!

Danielson forces himself to sit-up, though very clearly in pain, and then tries to pull Bryan to his feet with him. Bryan tries to fight back by chopping at Danielson, but Danielson still has control of one of Bryan’s are, so he pulls Blaze into a big chop of his own. The chop echoes around the arena, and Danielson finally able to get Bryan to his feet… and onto his shoulders? The crowd murmurs, as nobody really knows what Danielson is thinking. Danielson spies the exposed turnbuckles Bryan worked on just moments ago. He points to the corner and screams as he goes and does his own Death Valley Driver into the corner, stealing Bryan’s high impact move. The crunch Bryan makes is sickening, literally making some people retch at ringside as Danielson instantly goes for the cover! 1… 2… BRYAN F’N BLAZE KICKS F’N OUT!!!

Bryan has a huge gash on his forehead where the turnbuckle cut him. The referee checks on him, as Danielson rolls to the opposite corner and just sits there, completely flabbergasted by Blaze kicking out. Blaze is given the greenlight, even though his face is completely bloodied, and lifts himself up into the corner. Blaze touches his wound and the blood on his, looks at the opposing corner where Billy is, and LAUGHS??? He laughs at Danielson saying he knew Billy couldn’t get the job done now. Danielson takes BIG offense to this, and they march to the center of the ring and get into each other’s faces. Screaming profanities at each other that are mostly getting bleeped out due to the James Edwards Rule of 2017. Bryan Blaze spits his blood into the face of Danielson and then slaps him in the face! This resparks the brawling from before, both men going so fast that it’s almost like the crazy near falls they’ve experienced this entire match hadn’t happened at all!!!

A few semi-dirty strikes into the face of Danielson gives Bryan the advantage, despite the Boo/Woo chants being in favor of “The Face of the Franchise”. A running basement dropkick to the knee makes Danielson go to a kneeling position. Bryan Blaze wraps his arms around the head of Billy, and signals for Combustion, but when he goes for the DDT, Danielson holds strong! He tries again, but Billy wraps his arms around Blaze’s waits, maintaining the leverage needed to prevent a DDT. Bryan decides to jump, hoping that it’ll give him the momentum needed to drill Billy’s head into the mat, but instead Danielson stands straight up! He holds the bear hug, but Blaze decides to just lock in the guillotine part of Combustion! Danielson begins to tremble as he loses his base from the lack of oxygen. Blaze wiggles his body trying to plant Billy, and Danielson begins to bend forward BUT HE COUNTERS WITH A MASSIVE NORTHERN SUPLEX!!! Danielson finally overcomes the submission that has been giving Blaze the W for YEARS in this rivalry.

Blaze hits the ring HARD!!! They both roll to their feet at the same time and run at each other with lariats, but both men stiff the other, refusing to fall. They hit the ropes, Danielson leap frogs Blaze? He goes for another Psychout Chicago Blackout, but Blaze had that slightly scouted, as he springboards. Danielson lands the Chicago Blackout still, but Blaze also lands The Heatwave. Both men are down again, but at the count of 8, Blaze gets to his feet first. He climbs the second rope, waiting for Danielson to get up SUNNYVALE SUNR-NO!!! Danielson counters the jumping destroyer!!! He flapjacks Blaze high into the air AND CATCHES WITH HIS OLD GLASS CEILING BREAKER CODE BREAKER!!! He lifts Bryan up in an inverted crucifix position - THE FRANCHISE!!! Danielson hits his new finisher, but he’s not giving any chances. He lifts Blaze up one last time, this time in a normal Crucifix for the BIG MATCH DRIVER!!! Danielson hits the kawada driver and then folds Bryan in half as the crowd chants with the referee for 1…2…3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: YOUR WINNER VIA PIN FALL... BILLY—DANIELSON!

Billy sits up, extremely emotional with his win. He had just vanquished the biggest foe he had ever had. Blaze is getting attended to, getting his face stitched up. The fans start to chant "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye", but Danielson actually grabs a microphone, and tells them to stop. Maybe it was the amount of emtions he was feeling, or the "love and respect" Billy had said about Bryan back at the Hall of Fame ceremony prior to getting jumped, but Danielson goes over to Bryan, who's currently getting fitted for a stretcher ride, and pats him gently on the chest. Danielson says his goodbyes to the uncocnious Blaze, before going back into the ring and getting his well deserved arm raise and match celebration.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: BIG show of respect from Danielson, after going nearly an hour with the now retired 2x Mainstream Heavyweight Champion, Inaugural Emerald City Classic winner, former Mainstream United States champion and Hall of Famer. Honestly, I don't know if Danielson is really proud of this, but it had to be done. Neither could survive here if the other was still around.

CHARLES HUDSON: I can completely agree with that. These men have EARNED that "Fight Forever" Chant, but like you said they could never both succeed. If one of them wanted to truly set themselves in the position of "The Face" of Mainstream Wrestling, they needed to do something like this, and retire the other, in order to do so. Congratulations to Billy Danielson, but Bryan Blaze will be missed in Mainstream Wrestling

MCKAYLA LEWIS:  Thank you all for tuning in for Mainstream Wrestling! Good night!
