As the screen fades to black, we know that it’s about time to begin a historic night of wrestling. The picture slowly comes into view, showing us a group of unknown men and women walking away from us, moving in step, as the camera seems to slowly start coming up behind them. As we do so, we hear a voice begin to speak.
“They say that life is a game, played by both the willing and unwilling, and at the end, there are no winners.”
The ‘troops’, for lack of a better word, continue to move in front of us, in perfect sync, heading towards their apparent destiny. The camera stays close to them, focusing on their strict movements forward.
“But anyone who says that… has never played for keeps.”
Suddenly, an explosion lands close by, shattering the silence. Another explosion rips the ground to our right. The group immediately disperses, racing ahead, letting out several savage war cries as they charge forward. Things immediately fall into chaos, as the camera drops to the side, as if hit by flying debris. Another explosion erupts right in our face, shattering the camera lens, with the fire seeming to erupt straight through at us. As the explosions take place, the new theme takes over.
“Sometimes you can’t avoid the conflicts that come upon you. And sometimes, you call them forward yourself, taking them head on.”
The video shifts to shots of Enigma, holding up the Smash Championship. We see some clips of the various competitors who have fallen to Enigma in his long reign, followed by many stepping up and wanting to take on the challenge. The videos focus on Joe Montuori’s numerous insults towards Enigma, who had once been a part of Montuori’s The Fortunate Ones. We’re shown the rage Enigma had towards these insults, leading to him calling out Rocco Montuori, Joe’s cousin, for the title shot tonight. We then see one more clip of Rocco trying to interfere in Enigma’s match with Xavier Lux, showing the animosity between the two.
“Sometimes it all becomes about pride, and about who can stand at the top of the mountain, daring others to push them off.”
The next shot shows “Cholo” Giovanni Santana regaining the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Wars over Mac Bane. Cholo appears to be on top of the world, as we see CJ Phoenix entering the arena. The two men are shown standing off, considering each other, with an air of cautious respect between them. This includes seeing Cholo and Phoenix teaming together against Clowns R Us, showing they can work with each other even as they head towards destiny against each other. The final shot shows CJ Phoenix handing the World Title to Cholo, hanging onto it for a few seconds as Cholo stares at him.
“And sometimes… it’s all about the war, and how you survive it in the end.”
We see Devlin Knight’s battles against Joe Montuori, leading to JMont winning the Intercontinental Title. The war expands, as Knight is joined by Maxwell Mason Stone, while JMont is backed up by The Fortunate Ones. We see Chris Page and John Cable entering the fray, siding with Knight & Stone, while JMont and Amber Mansley are shockingly joined by Jenny Myst and Chris Chaos. In the end, we see shots from the IC Title Fatal Fourway, heavily stacked against JMont, with Lexi Gold, the special referee, announced as the final member of Team Knight. Stone comes away with the championship, taking it away from JMont. But the shocking return of Clyde Newton shatters the celebration, unifying Team JMont. The two teams are shown facing off, with several clips of one team member attacking another, leading to tonight’s anticipated war inside the cage.
“When it all comes down to it, life is what you make of it. Some are successful. Some are not. But all… must still fight to survive.”
We get more shots of the various wrestlers competing tonight. There are shots of bloodshed from the recent Blood Bath title matches, with both Corey Bull and Gideon King shown holding the title up. We see The Cassette Collective standing victorious as the World Tag-Team Champions, with Toxik then showing up for a staredown. We see some of the wars from the up-and-coming talent, followed by several more clips of the top matches involved. The final shot shows the War Games teams facing off as the screen explodes… taking us to The CCPE Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada!! The crowd is going wild as we zoom in across the sold out arena, making our way across the celebrations evident from the Las Vegas crowd.
War Games opens up as we see fireworks explode that gets the crowd excited, we see Flash Rotten and Derrick Diamond about to run down the card when suddenly the Titan Tron flashes and we hear a classic song hit the airwaves.
FLASH ROTTEN: OH NO!! Not them again!!!
We see Pogo run out to the arena while carrying balloons, stuffed animals that pop out of the pockets from his tiny jacket as well as having a pair of huge sunglasses on his face that causes him to move from left to right as it is too heavy for the tiny clown. Behind him we see Stitches walk out, he is carrying a pot of fake flowers while waving to the crowd as the two clowns get a mixed reaction from the crowd. Stitches helps Pogo to get inside the ring as they have managed to reach to the ringside area before rolling himself in the ring as well as Stitches pulls out a microphone out of his tights.
FLASH ROTTEN: I borrowed that clown that microphone a few weeks ago!! He can have it now, I don’t want to know what body part has rubbed against that thing!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: What are these two doing here?? They aren’t booked!!!
We see Stitches rub the sleeve of his jacket across the microphone as if to clean it before patting on it.
STITCHES: This on???
We hear a loud and high pitch sound that causes people to grab their ears in agonizing pain as Pogo gives Stitches two thumbs up.
STITCHES: People may ask themselves what the hell we are doing here, but that’s something that we want to know as well. I mean we are the former tag team champions damnit!!!
The crowd boos the two clowns as Pogo grabs a stuffed rabbit and holds it in the air while circling around his friend before falling over a few times that causes the fans to laugh at his futile attempts to entertain them.
STITCHES: SEE??? We are highly capable of giving the people the best entertainment ever, just by showing up and pretending that we are incapable of holding a stuffed animal. Isn’t that exactly what Mr. Page, Barrows and Daniels want?? To showcase how dumb these fans really are???
These words cause the fans to boo them, Pogo can be seen in the corner upside down with a huge smile on his face before getting back to his feet.
STITCHES: But we even outsmarted the GM’s and the man that wants to drown my little friend Pogo inside a swimming pool by using a big rock. Clearly a guy that is incapable of doing things by himself!! You see, we have a clause in our contracts that we are forced to show up at every single PPV that will be aired by this company!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: What?
![???](http://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)
Pogo grabs the microphone from his friend as he laughs like a hyena.
POGO: I bet you didn’t see that one coming huh?? We held management hostage until they came up with the brilliant idea of US doing the rundown of the show!!! Not the thing that we wanted to do, but at least it helps us pay off the loan that we got for buying that expensive VCR player.
FLASH ROTTEN: VCR???
POGO: I mean, I know that people these days use their phones to watch things. But my Motorola isn’t capable of doing anything of the sorts!! The screen is semi cracked and the sound is like playing with a Commodore 64!!!!
The crowd bursts out in laughter at the expense of the clowns as that irritates the little fellow even more.
POGO: NONE OF YOU WILL GET ANY BALLOONS!!
Stitches grabs hold of his little friend and pats him on the head.
STITCHES: Easy Pogo, after tonight I am sure that Miss Jenny will allow you to watch all the episodes of whatever you like to watch.
This causes the fans to chant for Jenny Myst as Pogo gets even more upset.
POGO: SHE’s MY BFF!!!!
STITCHES: Okay Don Juan, settle down. Let’s not forget why we came here for alright?? To open up this damn show as I have plans for later tonight.
He grabs the sunglasses from Pogo before reaching down inside his jacket and grabs a note.
STITCHES: Alright, let's see. We got some half ass matches happening, we got a War Games match that has Pogo’s main squeeze participating. And oh yeah, we hope that the Cassette Collective get what they deserve… Karma you know!!!
CROWD: Booo!!!!!!
STITCHES: Ah shut it, okay here we go. The opening match will be a triple threat match between Colossus, Captain Righteous and Kimber Kenson.
Pogo tugs at Stitches' leg as he pulls out his microphone and responds.
POGO: Okay, so they got a Marvel Reject?? A big baboon and some off the road chick to compete?? And yet not us???
STITCHES: Exactly Pogo, the crowd feels our pain.
He then turns his attention towards the note.
STITCHES: Then we got Another Number One contender match, apparently they managed to find four idiots to compete for a title that is so X Rated that it will be competed on a B Brand like Smash.
The crowd boos the statement of the clown, who ignores them.
STITCHES: We got non talented people like Nick Danger
POGO: Boo!!!
STITCHES: Davind Francis
POGO: Who???
STITCHES: Ezra Gideon
POGO: Oh that Texan hick???
STITCHES: And Mark Wright
POGO: WRONG!!!
STITCHES: So in other words people, I would suggest to just pretend it is us out there, then at least that will make this match look half as good as us winning the tag titles!!!
The crowd boos even more
STITCHES: Tough crowd Pogo, okay what’s next? Oh goodie, a grudge Match as we have Latoya Hixx facing Connor Mallory.
POGO: Wasn’t she on Brawl???
STITCHES: Yes she was Pogo.
POGO: Then I don’t care!! I only care about my Miss Jenny and she is going into a fight with that evil Joe Montuori!!! Well I am better than you!!!!
He lifts his tiny fist and tries to be menacing.
STITCHES: Sure you are Pogo, but now we got to finish this stupid card. Okay, next match will be a Mirage Monster Ball match…..
POGO: Is that like the Beauty and the Beast cartoon movie Disney put on???
STITCHES: No Pogo, I believe that is something where we see figures like Freddy Kreuger and that puppet Chucky run after these three individuals where they try to win a title or something
POGO: Who??
STITCHES: I’m sorry Pogo, they aren’t on Disney+, but this is supposedly to be a violent match for the Blood Bath title. We got Gideon King take on the challengers of John Blade and Corey Bull.
POGO: Isn’t that Vanilla Ice and that Ogre from Shrek???
Stitches face palms himself before turning his attention towards his tiny friend.
STITCHES: No Pogo, they are actual wrestlers. Look, I know you are upset but we get paid to do this okay??
Pogo nods his head.
STITCHES: Then we got a Last Man Standing match between two guys who have a love/hate relationship. Edward Grado will put his title on the line against Seth Stevens!!!
POGO: Isn’t that the nice guy with the pitch blonde hair???
STITCHES: Yes Pogo, I did not know you knew him??
POGO: Well I don’t, but I don’t like guys who use toothbrushes in fanny packs.
STITCHES: You got that right Pogo
Stitches looks on the piece of paper and smiles.
STITCHES: The next match is one that we are looking at with a lot of interest, the fake champions against the team of Toxic!!!
POGO: Did you know that Pax signed up to my fan page??
STITCHES: She did???
POGO: Yeah, only to try and tell me that she made a mistake as she was about to sign up for a fan page of one Taylor Swift.
STITCHES: Who???
CROWD: Boooooo!!!!
STITCHES: Oh shut up!!!!
Stitches and Pogo react to the crowd booing.
STITCHES: Okay, the next match is for the Smash Title as Enigma takes on Rocco Montuori.
POGO: Isn’t that the guy who fixed our Cable TV??
STITCHES: No, that was Rocco Campone Pogo
POGO: Oh, then I don’t care.
STITCHES: Exactly, then we got two men that screwed us over in the past few shows in Cholo and CJ Phoenix.
POGO: Yuck!! BFF’s all over, such a yucky yuck
STITCHES: And to end the entire show is Team J Mont and Team Devlin Knight while competing in two rings inside a huge cage!!
POGO: Isn’t that with Miss Jenny??
STITCHES: Yes Pogo
POGO: I wanted to be in that match too Stitches.
STITCHES: I know Pogo, you have told me this a million times.
POGO: Next year, I want to challenge Chris Page to one!!!
STITCHES: Are you sure Pogo??
POGO: YES!! If he is going to hurt my friend Miss Jenny then I will hurt him!!!
Stitches runs his hand across his face and sighs.
STITCHES: Alright Pogo, I guess we could do that. But until that moment comes we better get you back to bed little friend.
With that the two clowns run out of the ring as the fans are relieved from surviving the two nutcases.
![](https://www.accelerator3359.com/ssl/WarGames/wargames2024triplethreat.png)
MEMPHIS BELLE Our first match of the evening is scheduled for one fall. It is a Triple Threat match for the #1 Contendership of the WGWF Television Championship! Introducing first, making her debut here in the WGWF, standing 6’1” and weighing 160 lbs, from Vancouver, British Columbia, here is KIMBER KENSON!!
As “Lose Yourself” by Eminem plays, Kimber Kenson walks out of the back wearing black spandex pants with gray boots laced up with rainbow colored laces and a multi-colored tank top. She waves to the crowd and heads down towards the ring, excited to begin her new chapter here in the WGWF.
DERRICK DIAMOND: It’s always a sign of bravery to start off your career on one of the major shows of the year.
FLASH ROTTEN: It can allow you to make a major impact as soon as you walk in the door. Of course, it’s a lot easier to start a match against enhancement talent and get your feet wet, rather than going right into a contendership.
DERRICK DIAMOND: That might be more of a sure win, but if Kenson takes this one here tonight, she’s automatically a threat to everyone else in the federation.
MEMPHIS BELLE Coming out next, standing 6’3” and weighing 270 lbs, representing Manhattan, New York, here is CAPTAIN RIGHTEOUS!!
A choir of children begin to sing after a lengthy sinister haunting piano melody is played, searchlights look around the arena for none other than Captain Righteous who comes floating down from above the crowd. His cape flaps majestically as he rests both hands on his waist, smiling and scanning the crowd below. Finally he lands half way down the ramp where he walks confidently towards the ring only to float from outside the ring, over the ropes and finally lands in the ring. Stalking the ring like the true apex predator he is Captain Righteous let's his opponent(s) know he's the best. This is his ring.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Captain Righteous exploded onto the scene here in the WGWF, and he made quite a statement during the Blood Bath Title Four Corners Barbed Wire match. The question is, since he wasn’t interested in that title, will things be any different with the TV Title?
FLASH ROTTEN: Hell, this one’s not even for the title. It’s just about who the greatest fighter is, and I think that’s something that Captain Righteous will be very interested in.
MEMPHIS BELLE And now, our third participant, entering the arena, standing 6’5” and weighing 450 lbs, from Van Meter, Iowa, here is “THE VAN METER MONSTER” COLOSSUS!!!
The drumline for ANGST hits, and Colossus makes his way out to the ramp. He roars, pounding in his chest like a silverback gorilla as he eyes his next meal. He walks slowly down to the ring like impending doom, like the executioner going to the gallows with his prisoner, and walks up the steps and into the ring. As Kenson and the Captain watch him, he rubs his belly while looking at his next victims.
DERRICK DIAMOND: You can definitely say that Colossus has gotten the attention of everyone in the WGWF.
FLASH ROTTEN: He is an extremely dangerous individual, and he also doesn’t talk that much. To me, that makes him the perfect wrestler. It’s Colossus Time!
DERRICK DIAMOND: We’ll see, Flash, we’ll see.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Someone’s hopes and desire to challenge for the Television championship will be answered when the bell has rang!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: I have to say it is hard for me NOT to bet against the big man Colossus!!!
We see Captain Righteous look across the ring and gazes into the face of the monster that destroyed Goth a few weeks ago during the go home show of Monday Night Brawl. Swallowing hard as he turns his attention towards the newcomer and decides to roll out of the ring and tells Kimberly to go at it.
FLASH ROTTEN: What a hero!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: What a lowlife!!
Kimberly stares at the supposedly captain before turning her attention towards Colossus, who is chomping at the mouth while telling her that he is going to beat the living shit out of her before charging in on her. Kimberly manages to sidestep and drop the big man with a surprising Drop Toe hold before attempting to lock him in a Crossface submission hold. Only for Captain Righteous to slide back in the ring as we see the big monster power himself out of the predicament that Kimber attempted to put him as he slowly gets up to his feet. This causes Captain Righteous to stop in his tracks, trying to run back out of the ring. He only gets thwarted in his attempt as Colossus manages to toss Kimber into his back and that sends both wrestlers to the outside.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I guess the saying with Karma is right up the alley of the Captain wouldn’t you agree??
FLASH ROTTEN: She still owes me twenty bucks Derrick!!
We see Colossus slowly step through the ropes as he gently hops to the outside, there he grabs hold of Captain Righteous in an attempt to throw him into the steel ring steps as Kimber jumps on his back in order to wrap her arms around his massive neck, synching in a reverse chin lock as the big man staggers for a moment as he had not anticipated this from his other opponent. This gives Captain Righteous the opportunity to escape the grip of the big monster and kicks Colossus into his knee. That causes the power house to drop to his knee as he then starts to chop away at the massive chest. This only infuriates the monster as he tries to reach over the top of his head to grab the feisty newcomer. But that gives Captain Righteous the opportunity to kick Colossus in the midsection before hooking him by the head as Kimber had released him and dropped the monster face first into the concrete padded floor with a big time DDT.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Good Grief!!!
We see the camera zoom in on the seemingly unconscious Colossus as we see Captain Righteous get back to his feet and celebrates the fact that he has slain the beast. He then turns his attention towards Kimber, who executes a Standing Dropkick that sends Captain Righteous spine first into the steel ring post. She then grabs hold of him and slides him back into the ring before turning her gaze towards the still motionless Colossus as she then follows Captain Righteous back into the ring. There we see her hook both legs from Captain Righteous as the official starts to use the three count.
1!!!
2!!
Thr…
Captain Righteous manages to get his shoulder up before the count of three could be administered, Kimber then grabs him by the head and lifts him up to his feet before setting him up for an Irish Whip into the ropes before setting herself up for a Discus Clothesline that drops Captain Righteous. Kimber then goes for another cover.
1!!!
2!!
This time Captain Righteous kicks out at two, Kimber grabs him by the head as she pushes him into the ropes and sets him up for another Irish Whip. This time it is Captain Righteous that reverses the move and whips her into the ropes before dropping her with a big time shoulder tackle. The crowd boos as he is showboating, screaming towards the fans that he is going to be the next in line to challenge for the Television Title before turning his attention towards Kimber who is slowly rising herself up to a seated position. He grabs hold of her head and lifts her up to her feet, lifting her up over his shoulder as he sets her up for a Running Powerslam. But Kimber manages to slide out of his grip and pushes him into the turnbuckles before executing a Running High Knee to the face after the captain turns around. Kimber then picks Captain Righteous by the head and sets him up for a Pedigree as she grabs hold of both arms.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Watch out!!!
Colossus comes charging into the ring and delivers a massive clothesline to the back of Kimber’s head as he has slid into the ring. This causes Captain Righteous to fall down hard on the canvas with Kimber having dropped on top of him. The big monster grabs hold of Kimber and pushes her into the turnbuckles before setting her up to receive big time open hand strikes to the side of her head before whipping her hard into the other side of the ring as that causes her to buckle down to her knees as all the oxygen was driven out of her body.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I have a feeling that the big monster is going to have a field day with these two.
FLASH ROTTEN: YOU THINK???!! They had an opportunity to settle it between the two of them when that monster was out!!
Colossus then turns his attention towards Captain Righteous, who has gotten to his hands and knees while crawling over towards the ropes. There Colossus grabs hold of the back of his in ring gear and uses one arm to lift him up to his feet. There he spins him around and locks him in a Belly To Belly Suplex and drops him hard in the middle of the ring before going for the cover.
1!!!
2!!!
Thr…
Colossus lifts Captain Righteous from the canvas as he is shaking his head towards the official, telling him that he isn’t done yet.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I have to admit that he is the odds on favorite to win this match Flash, but when you got an opponent beat then beat him!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: You want to tell HIM that???
The official warns him, only for Colossus to turn his attention towards the now seemingly out of it Captain Righteous. Grabbing him by the arm as he drags him towards the nearest corner as he prepares himself to drop the big time splash on top of him. Only to be caught off guard by Kimber, who delivers a shot block to the back to the knee of Colossus as that causes him to drop down to the canvas. She then follows it up by hitting several forearm shots to the head before locking him in a DDT and sends him crashing face first to the canvas. She attempts to roll him over on his back and goes for the cover.
1!!!
2!!!
Thr…
Now it is Captain Righteous that manages to drag Kimber off of the big monster and pulls her over on her back before dropping backwards to deliver a Catapult into the turnbuckles, that she manages to land on the middle rope and then quickly turns around to deliver a Spear from the middle turnbuckles and then slowly crawls over to cover him for the three count.
1!!!
2!!!
Thr…
We see Colossus grab hold of her leg, hobbling as he drags her off of Captain Righteous before dropping an elbow on the lower back. He then slowly rises to his feet, clobbering Captain Righteous with a big time clothesline after turning getting back to his feet and turning around to the big monster. Colossus then lifts him up on his shoulder and executes a Samoan Drop that sends Captain Righteous to the canvas before slowly sitting up as he rubs his knee before turning his attention back to Captain Righteous as he goes for the cover.
1!!
2!!!
Thr…
Kimber breaks it up at the final moment with a double axhandle to the back of Colossus, his massive back, this causes him to roll off of Captain Righteous as Kimber manages to lock in the Cross face submission hold on the monster.
DERRICK DIAMOND: She got it locked in!!!! Will she make the unstoppable force submit!!??
FLASH ROTTEN: I can’t even believe it that she got it locked in!!!
We see the expression on Kimber’s face, screaming out in agony as she feels her arms tense in trying to keep the hold locked in on Colossus. Only to receive a big boot to the side of her face by Captain Righteous. Who then sets her up for a Power Bomb in the middle of the ring before covering her for the three count.
1!!!
2!!!
Thr…
Colossus manages to get his shoulder off the canvas at the final moment, Captain Righteous starts to lay some heavy blows to the face of the monster as this causes Captain Righteous his confidence to grow with every passing moment before having his left leg grabbed by Kimber who locks in an standing Ankle Lock that causes Captain Righteous to scream in agonizing pain. He is trying to grab for the ropes or kick himself free with his free leg, but nothing helps him to free himself up from the tight grip that Kimber has on him as he lifts his hand in the air as he is about to tap.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Kimber is going to do it in her in ring debut match!!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: OH GOD NO!!!
Suddenly we see Colossus charge in on Kimber with a big time running clothesline that sends her crashing into the ropes with her arms locked in between the top and middle rope before he turns his attention towards Captain Righteous and drags him to the nearest corner and climbs the second turnbuckle.
FLASH ROTTEN: Colossus Crunch!!!!!
Colossus jumps off as he connects with the fallen Captain Righteous before hooking both legs.
1!!
2!!!
3!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬
WINNER VIA PINFALL: COLOSSUS
Match Time: 10:18
¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬
Colossus gets up and stares into the eyes of Kimber, who had managed to get her arms from the ropes but too late to stop the pinfall. Colossus gets his hand raised in the air before heading to the back while having Kimber sending daggers into his back as she does not take her eyes off of him
DERRICK DIAMOND: That was a tough break for Kimber, she would have won the match if it had not been for Colossus!!!
The cameras pick up in the back tonight where a lot of arrivals have happened. CCPE Arena is a very popular venue where celebs love to come and have a good time and let loose. But tonight, there will be no love inside that cage. Sure, there will be some fun times for the fans in attendance and the people watching at home. But, all these matches are going to cause a lot of injuries and possible career ending situations. The likes of Justin Bieber, Davante Adams, Mark Cuban, Dana White, 50 Cent and many more have arrived already. The reporters and paparazzi are in the back because they do not want to miss any arrival or a chance to get some dirt. Then, just in that moment, the next limo pulls up and what an arrival this is.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Tonight is a big night for the WGWF!
CJJ: I'm here for Team Mont, Rocco and Cholo. Everyone else can rot in hell to me.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Way to NOT show some favoritism CJJ!
CJJ: You have known all along where I have thrown my support to. J Mont for President in 2024. We need a REAL JOE in the house.
As this monstrous limo pulls up, you can see the flashes from the cameras. You can see the reporters fighting one another to get closer so they are the first one to get the sneak peak or words.
![](https://i.imgur.com/MUo1hV4.jpg)
As the limo comes to a complete stop, you see the drivers and passenger doors open up at the same damn time. From the drivers side out walks PAUL PAGE!
![](https://i.imgur.com/fzN4ykg.jpg)
The passenger side, its a face that no one recognizes or has any idea why he is here.
PAUL PAGE: Get used to this face. This is my assistant in helping me out with The Fortunate Ones. Ladies and Gentleman, please meet the one and only…………………
DAK DANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
![](https://i.imgur.com/reOTLEc.jpg)
Paul and Dak get together and start to get a game plan in place. Everyone knows who is inside that limo right now. It’s just a matter of time before the doors open and the fuckery begins. Paul directs Dak to the back door of the limo and he opens the door like a gentleman, then leans in with his arm to help out first.
![](https://i.imgur.com/PiU3Jfn.jpg)
Amber Mansley is here with the X Division Title over her shoulder and looking amazing as always. As Amber embraces the cameras, she finally lets them know how she truly feels and flips them off. Dak once again leans in and helps out the Former TV Champion.
![](https://i.imgur.com/s1Ebu2d.jpg)
Jenny Myst steps out and has that evil smile on her face. The cameras are going crazy. Paul walks up to Dak and tells him to step back now. Paul and Dak are watching and protecting Amber and Jenny as Chris Chaos steps out of the limo.
![](https://i.imgur.com/hNDACpp.jpg)
Chaos looks around and just laughs. But right behind him is the Former X Division Champion, Clyde Newton.
![](https://i.imgur.com/fr77Heu.jpg)
Clyde gets out and starts to bang his fists on his chest. The wrestling world should be thankful that Clyde has come back to the industry. Now, that leaves just one man and one man only. Or does it?
![](https://i.imgur.com/v1eQtHR.jpg)
Out walks Rocco. The cameras are going crazy, the reporters are trying to get closer but are blocked off by Paul and Dak. Rocco turns around and leans back into the limo and helps out Mia Montuori, who has Gia with her.
![](https://i.imgur.com/ab0qsxn.jpg)
****Sorry about the pic, not a lot of choices for this- damn their personal life lol
![:)](http://storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
Mia and Gia are here as well. It’s a family reunion.
CJJ: If Cholo comes out next, its over with. You know Cholo is family to Mont.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Newton was the fifth member. Cholo has his title fight tonight. Geez!
And FINALLY, the man leading Team Mont slowly steps out of the limo. The Former World Champion. The Former Intercontinental Champion. Future Hall of Famer. J Mont has arrived!
![](https://i.imgur.com/86R8mAS.jpg)
J Mont steps out and puts his arm around Mia, who is holding Gia. Usually running his mouth and being full of energy, this is a different Mont. The look on his face is one that looks very rare on his face from the past year or so in the WGWF. His eyes are wide open. No expression on his face. He looks ready for WAR and to lead his team. The reporters are throwsing microphones in the face of Mont and throwing out questions.
REPORTER 1: What happens if Team Mont fails tonight?
REPORTER 2: Are The Fortunate Ones done if they lose tonight?
REPORTER 3: Do we see Rocco versus Joe if he pulls off the upset tonight?
REPORTER 4: Do you feel like the underdog tonight after the last Brawl?
The questions are flying at the face of J Mont, but not a blink or response. J Mont, without a word or look at anyone, grabs the hand of Mia and starts to walk towards the arena. Pushing past the cameras and reporters. This J Mont looks focused and zoned in on the job at hand. The reporters are still trying to get something out of him, but all they get is a visual look of a J Mont who hasn't blinked and has a face of war on. The rest of Team Mont follows suit and ignores the reporters as they are right behind J Mont. Team Mont is here and ready for the war tonight.
CJJ: Jesus, did you see that look on Mont’s face? HOLY SHIT, do i feel bad for Team Devlin. He has never not said a word or made a scene.
PATRICK MATHEWS: For once, I might have to agree with you. J Mont looks more focused than ever. And entering FIRST in War Games, he surely wants to set the tone for the match as well.
![](https://www.accelerator3359.com/ssl/WarGames/wargames2024grudgematch.png)
PATRICK MATHEWS: Ladies and Gentlemen, our next match tonight is a banger. A grudge match between Latoya Hixx and Connor Mallory, one more match to settle the score.
CJJ: Smart money is on “The Spruce Goose”, a very angry man, trying to get that win back against Hixx.
MEMPHIS BELLE The next match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, standing 5’5” and weighing 115 lbs, from Boston, Massachusetts, here is “THE CEO” LATOYA HIXX!!
When Mone hits, she comes out wearing a all white gear and Sunglasses and Ceo Brass Knuckles and walks out on stage and grooves and steps her heel toe and heads straight down towards the ramp and slaps some kids and adults and gets in front of the camera and show them her new Ceo Brass Knuckles and gets in the ring and takes off her shades and and her wrestling gear and hands it to the camera men and waits for her Opponent arrival.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Hixx got some victories this past month, including taking down Connor Mallory in what many considered to be an upset. Now, she’s got a chance to double up and really put her mark on the WGWF.
CJJ: The size difference is intimidating, but she found a way to do it once. Can lightning strike twice here in Las Vegas? Usually when you’re talking odds here… they’re not on your side.
MEMPHIS BELLE Her opponent, standing 6’6” and weighing 272 lbs, from Chicago, Illinois, here is “THE SPRUCE GOOSE” CONNOR MALLORY!!!
"Red White & Blue" by Lynyrd Skynyrd plays as the Spruce Goose comes out of the back holding an American flag. He waves it back and forth ignoring the boos from the crowd and stands it upright, saluting it. He then hands the flag off to an assistant before walking down to the ring to fight for his country.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Mallory has had some struggles since he came to the WGWF, but he’s hoping to make a serious impact here tonight.
CJJ: Hey, all of his struggles are referee-related. These guys just need to get their act together and salute a real patriot!
PATRICK MATHEWS: I don’t think that’s the problem at all. Mallory’s got to learn to control his anger when it comes to wrestling here. Not everything can be blamed on someone else.
CJJ: It can if you tell enough people it’s your fault, Patrick.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Huh?
CJJ: Nothing. Let’s get to the match!
The ref calls for the bell to start the match, and as soon as it sounds, Connor rushes across the ring like a man possessed. Hixx quickly ducks under the clothesline attempted by Mallory and rolls forward. The combat roll doesn’t take her far enough and The Spruce Goose capitalized with a quick waist lock into a german suplex! The back of her head bounces off the middle turnbuckle and she doesn’t move at first. The ref moves in to check on her but Connor drags the ref out of the way. He drags Hixx into the center of the ring and straddles her chest. He reigns down vicious right handed punches to her forehead. The ref moves in again to reinforce the rules and begins counting.
PATRICK MATHEWS: C’mon Ref, get in there and break that garbage up.
CJJ: Connor is a man possessed!
One!
Two!
Three!
Connor breaks and gets up. He tries to bully the ref, poking him in the chest and telling him to stay out of the way. The ref grabs the front of his own shirt telling him that he’s the official and he’ll call the match fair. Mallory turns his attention back to Latoya and the crowd pops for her when she kips up and slaps the taste out of Mallory’s mouth! His head jerks to the side and he slowly turns back to face her as she’s talking shit to him and poking him in the chest. He looks down at the red marks on his chest where she had been poking him and he smiles at her. His smile doesn’t last long though, she lands a kick to the gut followed by a quick DDT! The crowd roars again as she rolls him over for a quick cover.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Dynamite does come in small packages, great come back by The CEO!
CJJ: Here’s the pin attempt, way too early but the ref is in position.
1…
2…
PATRICK MATHEWS: Indeed it was, she’ll have to hit someone like Mallory with a lot more than that.
CJJ: Told ya.
Connor kicks out with authority with Latoya landing on her feet. Mallory rolls to his feet and Hixx tries to kick his head off with a roundhouse kick but he traps the leg. He sends her flying over his head with a t-bone suplex! Mallory is back to his feet quickly, as he stares at the prone Latoya Hixx a sick and sadistic smile crosses his lips. He approaches her slowly as if savoring the moment of her pending demise. He drags her by her left leg back to the center of the ring and begins working on her left leg. He places his right foot on her pelvis and jerks back on her left leg causing her to grunt in pain. He repeats the process two more times before releasing her. She writhes in pain on the mat as he poses for the crowd who begin booing him, causing him to smile even more broadly. Hixx is finally able to roll to her stomach and is trying to crawl to the ropes but Mallory grabs her left foot and drags her back to the center of the ring. He applies a standing ankle lock causing her to yell out in pain once again. He laughs as he torques the hold by wrenching her ankle. Operating on instinct Hixx rolls through, sending him face first into the turnbuckle pad. The crowd cheers her counter move and tries to urge her to fight. Hixx beats the mat with a balled up fist and gets back to her feet.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Great back and forth action, but you have to worry about the safety of Hixx in this match up.
CJJ: Actually no, no I don’t.
She limps over to where Connor is starting to come to after the whiplash effect of being sent headfirst into the turnbuckle. She drags him back to his feet and then sends him back to the mat with a DDT! The crowd is on her side as she punishes the back of Mallory. Executing quick elbow drops to the small of his back, she then hits the small of his back with a senton causing him to arch his back in pain. She drags the bigger Mallory to his feet and sends him to the ropes, she ducks an attempted clothesline as he comes back. She turns quickly as he hits the nearside ropes and as he is about to reach her, she drops down grabbing his legs and rolls through applying a boston crab! The crowd goes nuts at the intelligence shown by the woman and is on their feet expecting Connor to tap out.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Rapid fire offense from The CEO!
CJJ: It’ll be short lived, that dude is a machine!
Mallory in extreme pain struggles to find an easy escape such as the ropes. He grits his teeth and then pushes himself up into a pushup position. Hixx doesn’t panic, she leans back forcing him back down. He grunts in pain as she cranks back the hold. He yells out and pushes himself back up once again and then ducks his shoulder and torques his legs spinning out of the hold and sending her across the ring! The fans boo him for escaping as he rolls out of the ring to get more space. He presses his hand to the small of his back as he tries to walk it off. Hixx has recovered and climbs to the top turnbuckle near him. He turns around and she dives off with a meteora! They both land hard on the concrete floor, her momentum carries her forward into a roll. The force with which she lands carries her into the security barricade where she hits back first. Both of them are down and not moving, so the referee begins his count.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Gutsy move by Hixx.
CJJ: High risk is sometimes high reward. She got away with it right there!
Mallory rolls to his side and struggles but gets back up. He rolls under the bottom rope to break the count. He rolls back out again as he sees Hixx begin to move, he lines her up as she gets back to all fours and then rushes at her, delivering a knee strike to the side of her head! The gasp from the crowd is deafening as he drives her head into the security barricade. He drags her back to her feet and throws her over his shoulder and takes her back to the ring. He deposits her on the ring apron and shoves her under the bottom rope, breaking the count again. She rolls away from him towards the center of the ring and he follows under the bottom rope and stands over her.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Mallory is up first, this does not bode well for Hixx.
CJJ: It’s just playing out the way everyone thought it would. He’s bigger and stronger than her by leaps and bounds. Only the strong survive, baby!
As Hixx tries to recover, Mallory signals that it’s time for the crowd to be patriotic, slapping his chest. They don’t seem to agree. But Mallory steps forward anyway, getting Hix in position for the America The Beautiful (Electric Chair Driver)! But Hixx fights free, landing on her feet, and surprises Mallory from behind with a roll-up!! She hangs on tightly as Mallory frantically kicks, even as the referee slides in…
1…
2…
THREE-NO!! Mallory kicks out in time!! Hixx rolls to the side, even as Mallory sits up on his knees, looking desperately at the referee. The ref signals that it was only a 2 count, so Mallory takes a few deep breaths of relief, holding onto his chest. He slowly gets himself up, glaring over at Hixx.
PATRICK MATHEWS: That’s how Hixx got the last victory!
CJJ: She almost stole it again! But America came through!
PATRICK MATHEWS: I don’t know if Mallory could ever have lived that down…
As Hixx starts to get up, Mallory moves over her, kneeing her in the side. He then leans over her, punching away with closed fists, furious at the near fall! The referee starts a count, warning Mallory about the closed fists, but Mallory doesn’t care. The ref then grabs Mallory by the arm, pulling him backwards, demanding that he stop! He threatens the disqualification, with Mallory just glaring at him. Hixx, meanwhile, is pulling herself up on the ropes, hurting. Seeing this, Mallory opts not to attack the referee, instead running forward and clotheslining Hixx to the outside!! The crowd is booing as Mallory follows her, dropping to the ground and kicking away at her. The referee, with no other recourse, starts another 10 count, even as Mallory slams Hixx hard against the edge of the apron, sending her toppling to the side!!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Mallory seems to be ignoring the count, as he picks Hixx up again, wanting to send her straight into the ring post! But Hixx pushes off his shoulders, sending Mallory into it instead!! He falls to the side, holding his shoulder, as Hixx drops to a knee to recover.
Five!
Six!
Seven!
PATRICK MATHEWS: These two need to get back in the ring, or else we’re going to have a double countout!
CJJ: And nobody wants that!
Hixx, hearing the count, struggles to get up using the apron, her ankle clearly killing her. Mallory, meanwhile, is using the post to rise. Seeing this, Hixx limps towards him, grabbing Mallory by the head and slamming it into the post!! Mallory slumps to the side, as Hixx looks back at the ring.
Eight!
Nine!
Hixx quickly rolls herself under the ropes… then rolls right back out, resetting the count! The referee takes note of it, signaling that he’s starting at one again, as Hixx limps over to Mallory and works to get the larger man up.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Hixx just saved Mallory there, because this one was going to be done!
CJJ: She may regret keeping this fight going. A win is a win, right?
PATRICK MATHEWS: But Latoya Hixx knows that she can win this one fair and square, as she’s beaten Mallory before. She wants to see his face when he’s beaten twice in a row!
With Mallory on his feet, Hixx brings him around to the ring, even as the referee is counting. She manages to roll Mallory in, then follows behind him, getting to her feet. She staggers over to him, as Mallory tries to shake off the cobwebs and clear his head… only for Hixx to grab hold of him, working to get Mallory over into the Bridging Crossface!!! She fights to get the submission applies, as Mallory works with all his strength to deny it, struggling on the mat. Hixx tries to get him turned, but Mallory works to get up, throwing them backwards… right into the referee!! The ref goes down, stunned, as both wrestlers topple forward!
PATRICK MATHEWS: We’ve got a referee down!
CJJ: Hopefully they’re ready in the back for this, we need a new one out here now!
As the crowd chants for her, Hixx gets to her feet first. She sees the downed referee, but just shrugs, knowing there’s nothing she can do for him. Instead, she focuses on Mallory, wanting to get him locked up. As Mallory starts to rise, Hixx grabs for his arms again… and Mallory spins, smashing her under the chin with a set of brass knuckles!!! Hixx goes down, hard, as Mallory drops back to his knees, quickly concealing the weapon in his trunks, out of sight. He stays down, breathing heavily, as a new referee comes running down the aisle.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Wait just a second!!
CJJ: Oh, now that man’s a thinker! What a move!
PATRICK MATHEWS: That’s illegal as hell!
CJJ: Not when the referee’s not there, Patrick!
As the new referee gets in, helping the old one roll out to get aid, Mallory struggles to his feet. He tries to act surprised that Hixx is still down, glancing over at the suspicious referee. But there’s nothing the ref can do, as Mallory drags Hixx back up and lifts her into position for America The Beautiful!! The electric chair driver lands, leaving her motionless as he hooks the leg for the cover. The referee slides into position and applies the count.
PATRICK MATHEWS: America The Beautiful!
CJJ: You can stick a fork in her, she’s done!
1…

The ref calls for the bell ending the contest. Mallory stands over her and sneers down at her as the fans boo him without mercy. He doesn’t care as he places his hand over his heart as “Red, White, And Blue” by Lynyrd Skynyrd plays.
PATRICK MATHEWS: A valiant effort by Hixx but she came up short, thanks to Connor Mallory’s dirty tactics!
CJJ: That all unfolded as I expected it would.
We cut away from ringside and head to the backstage area. The video screen shows the fans what’s going on, as we see a long hallway that seems to go on for quite a ways. Coming around the turn and walking with purpose is the Smash General Manager, Jonathan Barrows! He’s in one of his finest suits, dressed up for the PPV occasion, as he heads towards a particular doorway. He stops in front of it, but keeps looking straight ahead, his eyes showing recognition. The camera pans out… to show Brawl General Manager Jack Daniels! The two men stare at each other as the crowd gives a cheer for this unlikely pairing.
JONATHAN BARROWS: Mr. Daniels.
JACK DANIELS: Mr. Barrows.
JONATHAN BARROWS: It seems we have much to discuss. After you.
Barrows swings the conference door open, with Daniels giving him a nod before stepping through. Barrows follows after him, quickly shutting the door behind him so no cameraman can follow. We go back to ringside.
PATRICK MATHEWS: It looks like Barrows and Daniels are meeting to discuss the future of the WGWF!
CJJ: What do you think they’ll be talking about?
FLASH ROTTEN: For one thing, they’ll have to decide on announcers. They don’t need four of us for one show, you know?
DERRICK DIAMOND: I’ve been here since the beginning, they’re keeping me for sure.
PATRICK MATHEWS: It’s still going to be Monday Night Smash though, right? That’s my show!
CJJ: You mean OUR show!
FLASH ROTTEN: Boys, just take a deep breath. It’s not worth us being at each other’s throats yet.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Is that why I saw you sending a basket of edibles to Barrows’ office earlier today, Flash?
FLASH ROTTEN: I’m just being neighborly!
The other announcers scoff, as we get back to the action.

MEMPHIS BELLE The next match is scheduled for one fall, and is a Fatal Fourway match for the #1 Contendership of the WGWF X-Division Championship! Introducing first, standing 6’1” and weighing 230 lbs, from Big Ugly, West Virginia, here is “MAD DOG” MARK WRIGHT!!!
"AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGG! ROOF! ROOF! ROOF!"
The sound of banjo picking begins to play over the PA.
Woke up early this morning
As I looked around my world be crumblin' down
What I saw, I couldn't believe, Who are you?
What might I be? Oh, the things you do
"Mad Dog" Mark Wright comes barreling through the entrance way. Chugging a can of beer. He stops at the top of the entrance way, and smashes the can on his head. Mad Dog throws the smashed can into the crowd and then pulls his jacket off throwing it down and runs down the entrance way and slides under the bottom rope into the ring.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Wright has been wrestling in other federations as of late, but now he’s here to take on the current crop of WGWF superstars.
CJJ: He also was interested in that WGWF paycheck.
PATRICK MATHEWS: The company DOES pay strong rates compared to other federations.
CJJ: I don’t know. They’re still not paying me enough.
PATRICK MATHEWS: In your mind, it’ll never be enough.
MEMPHIS BELLE And now, our next competitor…
The opening drums hit hard and fast as "Adrenaline" by Shinedown begins to play. Ezra makes his way out onto the stage, accompanied by his manager Dave Bologna. They pause as the music continues and the red and gold pyro begins to explode around them and down the ramp.
MEMPHIS BELLE Now making his way to the ring, accompanied by his manager Dave Bologna, he is the rookie sensation that you've all been clamoring for. From Dallas, Texas by way of New York City weighing in at 210 pounds, Ezra Gideon!
The fans give him a mixed reaction as he has made his way down the ramp. He and his manager climb the ring steps and he holds the ropes for Davey and follows him into the ring. He poses on the turnbuckles for the crowd and then finally in the center of the ring, doing his best HBK imitation.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Ezra got his opening win on our last Smash, and now he’s in the running for a title shot.
CJJ: Talk about pressure on the young man! Will he be able to overcome the anxiety and survive this one? I have my doubts.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Because of how inexperienced he is?
CJJ: Nah. I just don’t like his manager. Who names their kid Davey?
MEMPHIS BELLE Our third challenger, standing 5’11” and weighing 198 lbs, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, here is “THE RISING ACE” NICK DANGER!!
"Out Of The Black" by Royal Blood comes on the speaker and red smoke follows on the entrance ramp . Nick Danger walks out onto the entrance ramp wearing his wrestling attire having a determined look on his face he makes his way down the entrance taking off his leather jacket, tossing it to fans and giving them high fives. Nick climbs the steel steps then climbs I'm the top turnbuckle and sees his fans saying "Rising Ace" he jumps inside the ring and gets ready for the match to start.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Danger is looking to bring his talents to the top of the X Division, calling out Amber Mansley as he heads for the championship.
CJJ: Calling out a champion in The Fortunate Ones usually backfires, in my opinion.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Well, before Danger can even worry about TFO, he’s got to get through this match with a victory.
MEMPHIS BELLE Our final competitor, standing 6’4” and weighing 225 lbs, from Memphis, Tennessee, here is “THE MORBID WOLF” DAVID FRANCIS!!!
The camera focuses onto the giant tron as the lights go down, and we can feel our audience getting anxious. The tron then lights up, and gives us a brief preview before it gets to the meat and potatoes of why we're here.
What it shows first is a phrase in white bold gothic style font.
"I created the nickname Morbid Wolf to survive an alcoholic father"
Followed by the name of its author. David Francis.
That fades as we are now ready to see the good.
Monster in Me begins playing over the PA system. As the audience rises to their feet clapping. The tron displays a black background following by gold streaks falling down like paint, or a similar blood effect. When it gets to the middle it's mixing together to create an image. Watching intently it reveals a black and gold skull, as a name appears to the left side. David, and then to the right Francis. Then the tron shuts off.
The gold falling ember Pyro lights up the whole arena, as the lights come up, and we see David Francis at the top of the ramp. The audience then gets rowdy, wildly cheering as Francis walks down to the ringside area slapping hands, and looking at all of the crazy posters around him. He then slides under the ropes and leans against the corner of the ring.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Francis is 2-0 so far in the WGWF, including a shocking upset victory over long-time star Tristan Slater. Many see him as the favorite in this match tonight.
CJJ: I don’t know. I felt like Slater wasn’t as invested in the match as he needed to be. I’d like to see a rematch between those two.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Well, that’s always possible in the future. Right now, though, Francis has three hungry competitors staring him down.
CJJ: Let’s get the war going!
Nick Danger immediately charges at Ezra Gideon, tackling him to the mat. David Francis squares off with Mark Wright, exchanging rapid punches and kicks. The audience roars as the four wrestlers collide in a whirlwind of action. Danger swings away, landing some shots, but Gideon manages to roll them over, hitting a few of his own. But Danger keeps them turning, focused on taking Gideon out of the equation.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Nick Danger wasting no time, going right after Ezra Gideon!
CJJ: And look at David Francis and Mark Wright! Neither man is willing to back down!
Ezra kicks Nick off, sending him stumbling back. He gets to his feet, only to be clotheslined by Nick, who follows up with a series of elbow drops. On the other side, David gains the upper hand on Mark, hitting a suplex that rattles the ring.
David Francis, sensing an opportunity, quickly slides out of the ring and grabs a steel chair from ringside. He slides back in, swinging it wildly. Mark dodges, the chair crashing into the mat with a loud clang. Nick sees this and releases Ezra, turning his attention to David.
Nick charges at David, but David sidesteps, bringing the chair down on Nick's back. Nick crumples to the mat, writhing in pain. David grins, lifting the chair again, but Ezra intercepts with a dropkick, sending the chair flying out of David's hands.
Ezra grabs David by the head and drives him into the corner, delivering a series of vicious chops to his chest. Mark, recovering, joins in, hitting a powerful running knee to David's midsection. The crowd is on their feet, cheering for the carnage.
PATRICK MATHEWS: David Francis is in a world of trouble right now!
CJJ: It just shows that Ezra and Mark are scared of him, feeling like they have to double team the Morbid Wolf!
Nick, still on the mat, struggles to get up. He notices the discarded chair and grabs it, using it to steady himself. Just as he stands, Ezra turns his attention to him, sprinting forward and hitting a flying knee. Nick collapses again, the chair slipping from his grasp.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Ezra Gideon with a devastating flying knee to Nick Danger!
CJJ: Nick can't catch a break tonight!
David, seeing Nick down, seizes his moment. He rolls out of the ring again, this time retrieving a kendo stick. He slides back in, swinging it at Ezra, who ducks. The kendo stick connects with Mark instead, who doubles over in pain.
David smirks, raising the kendo stick for another strike. This time, he aims for Ezra, hitting him across the back. Ezra falls to his knees, the crowd booing loudly.
Nick, using the ropes to pull himself up, sees David's back turned. He charges, tackling David to the ground. The kendo stick flies out of David's hands as Nick pummels him with fists. Mark, recovering from the kendo stick shot, grabs Nick and pulls him off David. He hoists Nick up and slams him down with a spinebuster. The ring shakes from the impact. Ezra, now on his feet, hits a running kick to Mark's head, sending him crashing to the mat. Ezra quickly climbs the ropes, looking to hit a high-flying move. The crowd holds their breath as he launches himself, hitting a perfect shooting star press on Mark. Before Ezra can go for the pin, David grabs him from behind, throwing him out of the ring.
David then turns to Nick, who is slowly getting up, and hits him with a low blow, doubling him over.
CJJ: David Francis with a low blow on Nick Danger!
PATRICK MATHEWS: That goes beyond just having no rules. What is Francis thinking??
CJJ: He’s thinking he’s going to win, Patrick!
The crowd erupts in boos as David grins, savoring his heel turn. He picks up the kendo stick again, raising it high. Before he can strike, though, Mark comes back in, grabbing at the kendo stick. He and David fight over it, with David getting another low blow kick, sending Mark reeling, rolling out of the ring in pain! David smirks and turns back… and Nick leaps at him with the Ace Trigger (Running Bicycle Knee Strike)!!! David’s down, as Nick moves, wincing, to the side, ready to go for the Rise And Fall (Springboard Forearm Smash)! But as Nick braces himself, the lights in the arena dim, and a spotlight focuses on the entrance ramp.
Connor Mallory walks down the ramp with a malicious smile. The crowd’s boos grow louder as he approaches the ring.
PATRICK MATHEWS: What is Connor Mallory doing here?!
CJJ: First the nut shot, now Mallory makes an appearance. In succession?! IS THE SPRUCE GOOSE IN CAHOOTS?
Nick turns, having expected something like this. He calls Connor on, wanting him to enter the ring. But with Nick’s back turned, David gets up, hitting Nick from behind with a chop block!! Nick rolls in pain as David gets up, taking note of Connor’s approach. Connor slides into the ring, standing face to face with David Francis. They share a nod before turning their attention to Nick. Connor grabs Nick by the arms, holding him in place as David winds up the kendo stick.
PATRICK MATHEWS: This is despicable! Connor Mallory is helping David Francis!
CJJ: THE SPRUCE GOOSE IS IN CAHOOTS!
Just as David swings, Mark Wright tackles him to the ground, the kendo stick clattering away. Connor releases Nick and turns to Mark, but Ezra Gideon, having recovered, flies off the top rope, hitting a crossbody on Connor.
The ring becomes a battlefield again, with all five men exchanging blows. Nick, fueled by the crowd's support, fights back against Connor, hitting him with a series of punches and kicks. He whips Connor into the ropes, hitting a clothesline that sends him over the top rope. Ezra and Mark double-team David, hitting him with a double suplex. Mark then grabs Ezra, lifting him for a powerbomb, but Ezra counters, hitting a hurricanrana that sends Mark crashing into the turnbuckle. Nick, seeing his opportunity, climbs the ropes, looking to hit a high-flying move on Mark. As he reaches the top, David, recovering, grabs the kendo stick and swings it at Nick's legs, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the mat.
David quickly capitalizes, hitting Nick with a DDT. He goes for the pin, but Ezra breaks it up just in time. Frustrated, David rolls out of the ring again, this time grabbing a table from under the ring. He sets it up on the outside, planning something sinister.
PATRICK MATHEWS: David Francis is setting up a table!
Connor Mallory, having recovered, slides back into the ring and breaks it up. Connor then grabs Nick, hitting him with a series of brutal punches. David slides back in, grabbing Nick and dragging him towards the ropes. He tries to lift Nick over the ropes, but Nick fights back, hitting a series of elbows to David's head. Mallory, seeing the danger with a smile, hits a dropkick that sends both Nick and David tumbling over the ropes and crashing through the table.
CJJ: Oh my God! Nick Danger and David Francis just went through a table!
PATRICK MATHEWS: This is absolute carnage!
The crowd chants "Holy Shit! Holy Shit!" as the two men lay in the wreckage. As Connor stands over the ropes looking down on his handy work, Ezra, recovering from the powerbomb, sees his chance. He grabs the kendo stick and swings it at Connor, hitting him across the back. Connor stumbles forward, falling out of the ring. He gets up out there, looking back at Ezra with contempt, then waves him off, heading towards the back, his job done at this point.
Ezra shakes his head towards Connor, then turns back to see Mark standing there. Inside the ring, Mark and Ezra are the only ones left standing. They square off, circling each other, knowing this is their chance. They’re the last two remaining in the squared circle. They both look out at where Nick and David are laying. Ezra then turns to Mark, their eyes locking in a moment of intense determination. Both men know that this is their chance to secure a victory and become the number one contender for the X-Division Title. They circle each other, the crowd buzzing with anticipation.
CJJ: It's down to Ezra Gideon and Mark Wright! One of these men could win it all right here!
PATRICK MATHEWS: But don't count out Nick Danger and David Francis, who are both stirring on the outside!
Mark charges at Ezra, but Ezra ducks, hitting a superkick that stuns Mark. Ezra quickly climbs the ropes, looking to hit another high-flying move. He leaps, but Mark catches him mid-air, turning it into a devastating powerbomb. Mark goes for the pin.
1…
2…
Kickout.
Ezra basically throws Mark off of him, with Mark popping right back to his feet. He runs forward, charging at Ezra with a powerful lariat. Ezra ducks under, bouncing off the ropes and coming back with a flying forearm that catches Mark off guard. Mark stumbles but doesn't go down. He retaliates with a big boot, but Ezra sidesteps, catching Mark with a dropkick that sends him reeling into the corner.
Ezra rushes in, delivering a series of rapid punches and kicks to Mark, who fights back with heavy strikes of his own. The two men exchange blows in the corner, each one determined to come out on top. Mark grabs Ezra, throwing him into the center of the ring with a massive belly-to-belly suplex.
CJJ: What a suplex by Mark Wright! But look, Ezra's getting back up!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Neither man is willing to give an inch here!
Ezra slowly rises, holding his back in pain. Mark moves in, looking to finish him off with a powerbomb. He lifts Ezra up, but Ezra counters mid-air, hitting Mark with a hurricanrana that sends him crashing into the ropes. With Mark stunned, Ezra sets himself, ready for the Five Star Experience (Super Kick). But suddenly, Nick Danger is back in! He catches a surprised Ezra from behind, locking him up… and landing the Red Eye DDT!!!! The crowd roars, as Nick falls into the pin, hanging on…
1…
2…
THR-But Mark breaks it up!
PATRICK MATHEWS: It’s all breaking down!
CJJ: It was broken from the start!
Mark kicks away at the wounded Danger, making sure that the pin doesn’t count. As Nick struggles back to his feet, Mark grabs hold of him by the throat and spins… hitting the Wright Way (RKO)!!! The Mad Dog scrambles on top for the pin, leaning backwards as he puts one hand pointed up at the sky…
1…
2…
THR-NO!! David Francis dives in, breaking up the cover!! He grabs hold of Mark, lifting him up and tossing him to the outside!! Francis then runs back, dropping a delayed fist onto Nick, before trying to steal the cover himself…
1…
2…
THR-And Ezra Gideon comes flying in, landing on Francis with the Uncle Davey Special!!! The double foot stomp from the top lands perfectly, as Francis is sandwiched between Ezra and Nick!! Ezra quickly shoves Francis over, getting his shoulders on the mat, and makes the cover himself…
1…
2…
Mark Wright comes diving back in…
But he’s too late!!
THREE!!

PATRICK MATHEWS: A big victory for Ezra Gideon, as it all came down to that last big maneuver out of nowhere! The rookie’s got his shot at his first championship!
CJJ: But what a display of talent from all four wrestlers!
Wright is on his knees, looking disappointed at having gotten there too late to break up the pin. Danger has rolled to the outside, holding his shoulder, likely cursing Connor Mallory’s name at the moment. Gideon has his arm raised, looking like he’s never been happier.
Suddenly, the crowd pops up, as Kenji Miyamoto walks out of the back, staring towards the ring!
CJJ: What the hell? What’s Kenji doing out here? He wasn’t even booked on the card!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Have you forgotten already, CJJ? Kenji won a #1 Contenders shot at the X Division Title at WrestleWars, but then got moved to Brawl!
CJJ: Yeah, so that shot was blocked, right? He didn’t get to go after Amber Mansley, because she’s on a different show!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Yes… but we’re going to one show now, aren’t we?
CJJ: … Oh no…
Miyamoto stays on the stage, looking towards the ring, staring down towards Ezra Gideon, who climbs up on the turnbuckle to return the look. We cut away.
The spotlight hits the entrance way as you see a man standing there at the podium with a small table next to him. The table has a small trophy placed on it as well as an envelope.
SAM ARCHIBALD: Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Sam Archibald and I am the president of The Father of the Year committee. I am out here tonight to make a big announcement here. Something that has never been done before according to our record books. JOSEPH MONTUORI has qualified for a chance to be back to back winner of this award as he is a nominee this year. It may be early to make an announcement like this, but we felt this was the perfect time to surprise him and thank him for all his help and contributions along the way.
The fans are booing and cannot believe this is happening. First, they got stuck with Joe Biden for 4 years in office and had to watch him fall apart during the debates. Now they are getting J Mont shoved down their throats for Father of the Year…….AGAIN!!!!!!
SAM ARCHIBALD: Please calm down. This is a big announcement and possible achievement for Joseph Montuori. So, without further adieu, we would like to congratulate Joseph Montuori on this big accomplishment and present to him a trophy to remind him that he is the true definition of what a good father is. We know you got one last year, but we wanted to make this night special for you as well.
From the back, appears Mia and Gia. No sign of J Mont. Mia walks up to the podium, with Gia in her arms.
MIA: Thank you very much Sam for this great announcement. I will make sure Joe gets this trophy, but he did not want to come out tonight as he is solely focused on the War Games Match and ending the careers of 5 people who are trying to ruin his. He is going to make the family proud tonight and has done anything he can for myself and Gia. He has gone over and beyond to give us a great life. He is ALWAYS THERE FOR US. So, I have a special message for JOHN CABLE. He is NOT an ABSENTEE father as you like to say. You just wanna be in the shoes of Joe. Actually, you WISH YOU WERE JOE. You are nothing but a deadbeat person that loves 3 things in life. Hot Dogs, LOSING and that tramp Lexi Gold, who I slapped the shit out of already. Sorry Gia, but it had to be said.
SAM ARCHIBALD: You have all the right to say that. John Cable will never make this nomination. NEVER!
MIA: Hey Sam, that envelope right there is for you as a donation to child homes and orphanages here in Las Vegas. Figure, being here tonight, and living in Vegas, let’s show them some more love.
Sam opens the envelope and his eyes pop out of his head almost. He cannot believe what he sees here.
SAM ARCHIBALD: You did not have to do this Mia. The Mont family did not have to do this. $1 Million Dollars. You gotta be kidding me?
MIA: NOPE! It’s the TRUTH Sam. Thank you for all you do with the children and the less fortunate. And I'm sorry that soon enough, you are going to have to find a home for Chris Page, Devlin Knight, Max Stone, John Cable and Lexi Gold.
SAM ARCHIBALD: We will make sure they are in good hands when they arrive.
Sam holds the check up high in the air as the fans cannot help but cheer. Gia is waving to all the fans. The atmosphere has made a turn for the better right now. Mia Grabs the trophy and walks to the back.
SAM ARCHIBALD: Thank you again for your time everyone. And go Team Mont and make sure at the end of the year to cast your votes for J Mont!
Sam, with the check in hand runs to the back before he gets jumped by all the underpaid WGWF wrestlers because Barrows and Daniels are cheap as fuck!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Did you see that? Mont is the man. He doesn’t even have to come out to make an impact!
FLASH ROTTEN: I want to see that check get DEPOSITED before I say anything nice about him!
DERRICK DIAMOND: There is another check that is going to be cashed tonight. Mine, after Team Mont knocks off Team Devlin.
FLASH ROTTEN:Can you buy me a Nathan’s Hot Dog? I wanna start practicing so I can beat John Cable next year.

We return to the announce table, where we can see all four commentators for tonight’s show. Patrick Matthews is in the center, given the focus for this moment.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin this next match, we do want to send our well wishes out to one of the man who was supposed to compete tonight. “The Untamed Demon” Damage has been a big part of the WGWF since its restart, but a major neck injury has unfortunately put his career on hold at this time. We know he wishes he could have been here to compete tonight, but unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
CJJ: I haven’t always had the best of things to say about Damage, but I have to admit, he’s one tough bastard, and I hope we’ll see him back in the ring sometime in the future.
PATRICK MATHEWS: The WGWF wishes Damage the best of luck in his recovery, and all our prayers for a speedy return.
The camera switches to the large screen, where Damage’s intro video plays one more time in tribute to the D.E.A.T.H. member.:

The picture shifts from the CCPE Arena to our second location for the night: The Mirage Hotel and Casino.
![](https://travelnevada.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Mirage_Featured-scaled.jpg)
The long-time landmark here in Las Vegas is set for closing in July to begin its transformation into the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel. Tonight, though, it's having one more historic moment for the WGWF. The camera shifts, taking us inside the Mirage Hotel. We're in one of the hallways on an unknown floor, isolated for just this event. There is an extremely nervous referee standing by, looking at his watch, knowing that chaos is coming soon.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Here we go! It's time for a blood bath!
PATRICK MATHEWS: It's been twenty-four hours since our competitors tonight were locked up in their respective hotel rooms here at the Mirage. The windows were sealed. The power was cut. There has been no food. No water.
CJJ: They even took out the mini bar. The savages.
FLASH ROTTEN: I don't think I could make it 24 hours. I don't think I could make it 6 hours. I need my room service!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: You have to assume it's been a miserable experience for all three competitors, even with the comfortable sleeping arrangements, leaving all of them in an enraged state. Any minute now, we're going to be starting this one. Viewers, be advised. This isn't going to be for the faint of heart.
Suddenly, there's the sound of locks being released, as the timers all have counted down. The referee takes a deep swallow, before retreating further down the hallway. For a few seconds, there's silence. But then, the first door bangs open, and the Blood Bath Champion, Gideon King, steps out. He looks around, blinking in the light, trying to quickly readjust his vision to the new surroundings.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Here he is! Our Blood Bath champion! King shocked the WGWF universe when he came away with the Blood Bath Title in a Barbed Wire Ropes Fatal Fourway on Brawl. Tonight, he's looking to shock the world again!
PATRICK MATHEWS: There's a big difference, though, in being a contender... and being the defending champion. All the pressure is on King here tonight!
As King steps away from his room, the second door swings open. John Blade staggers out, looking in both directions. He focuses on King, taking note of the champion, who stares back at him. Blade's clutching a fancy glass lamp, which he had snatched from the hotel room.
CJJ: Some would say that Blade is the outlier in this one, as he's the only man to have not held the Blood Bath Title, and this is his first contest in this division. But he looks prepared to me!
PATRICK MATHEWS: In a fight like this, you have to use everything available. That includes expensive lamps!
DERRICK DIAMOND: They've already written off the costs, right? The WGWF isn't paying for this?
CJJ: I hope so, because this is going to get very expensive...
King turns, seeing Blade standing there with the lamp. Blade smiles at him, daring King to rush him. King sets himself in place, ready to get his title defense started. That's when the doorway between them suddenly slams open, with the door flying off of its hinges!!! Both men jump backwards, surprised, as Corey Bull steps through the debris, wearing his new silver metal mask. He’s swinging a 4’ loggers chain back and forth, keeping the excess around his neck. The crowd watching from the CCPE Arena can be heard cheering loudly at this entrance, even as Blade and King look on in shock.
CJJ: The Hatebringer is here!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: That is absolutely terrifying!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Is this the new personality of Corey Bull??
FLASH ROTTEN: My advice to Gideon King right now? Run. Run away, as fast as you can.
DERRICK DIAMOND: No champion would ever do that, Flash.
FLASH ROTTEN: No living champion, no… but the smart ones…
It only takes a few seconds for thoughts to seem to travel between Blade and King, as they take in the massive threat standing between them. Immediately, both men charge at Bull from opposite directions, trying to take down the most dangerous foe. King gets there first, swinging at Bull, but Bull manages to catch his arm in the chain, twisting it and causing King to yell out in pain. Seeing this, Blade runs up from behind, bringing the lamp down and shattering it across the back of Bull!! But Bull’s only reaction is to turn towards a stunned Blade, before yanking King across with the chain, sending him flying into Blade!! Both wrestlers go down, with Bull stepping over the debris to get over to them. He grabs hold of King, dragging him up and staring him right in the face. Bull seems to smile, before hauling King to the right… throwing him hard into one of the mirrors in the hallway!!! The glass shatters everywhere, as the champ falls to the ground, almost immediately bleeding from a cut above his eye.
CJJ: Did… did that mask just smile??
DERRICK DIAMOND: It had to be a trick of the light… right?
FLASH ROTTEN: All I know is, I stand by my previous declaration: RUN AWAY from this man!!
As Bull walks menacingly towards King, Blade suddenly reappears, ramming into the back of Bull’s leg from behind! Bull stumbles forward to a knee, with Blade immediately striking away at Bull with several boots to the back, trying to weaken him. Bull, though, begins to rise again, turning towards Blade, who swings hard for the face… immediately regretting it as he connects with the mask. Blade stumbles back, holding his wrist, as Bull seems to have to shake off the hit as well. He goes towards Blade, but now King is there… using a piece of the mirror to slash Bull across the lower shoulder!! Bull turns back towards King, seemingly surprised to see blood now flowing down his arm. He grabs at King, but King knocks his hand away, then leaps, scoring a European uppercut that breaks the glass shard apart, sending Bull stumbling backwards! Blade, taking advantage, crosses his arms before charging forward with the Lightning Fist! Bull takes the hit and gets turned around, allowing for King to then show off his strength, grabbing onto Bull and taking him over with a twisting side suplex!!
Bull rolls to the side, trying to recover, as King pops to his feet. He starts looking for another weapon to use in the hallway… only to have Blade grab him from behind, twisting King into a schoolboy roll-up!!! The referee, who had stayed backwards, immediately starts a count from where he is, hitting the wall…
1…
2…
And King kicks out! He pops up, only for Blade to quickly grab hold of him again, this time grabbing hold of King’s arms and taking him down with a crucifix style pin!
1…
2…
Another kick out! King jumps up again, trying to get things under control again, but Blade’s already moving with a third attempt, this time taking King over with a Northern Lights suplex with a bridge! He hangs on, as the ref counts again…
1…
2..
And Bull smashes into Blade, breaking up the pin attempt!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Blade almost made away with the Blood Bath Championship with a quick pin!
FLASH ROTTEN: I honestly have to admire him. That’s a plan straight out of my playbook.
CJJ: I thought your playbook just said “Run”?
FLASH ROTTEN: That’s a key part of it, but getting a pin out of nowhere? That’s high up there, especially in a match like this.
Bull has Blade up now, grabbing him by the throat. But Blade smashes both arms upwards, managing to break Bull’s grip on him. He stumbles away, heading down the hall, but Bull is in pursuit, grabbing hold of Blade again. He throws Blade forward towards the elevator, with Blade getting rammed into the wall! He slumps to the ground, as the door suddenly dings, as Blade’s arm must have made contact with the elevator button. The elevator swings open, with a somewhat famous individual standing there, slightly disheveled after a long day of performing.
![](https://assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/upload/crm/lasvegas/new-donny-osmond_977A837B-E34D-0992-99C7E77501A4596A_97ec9aad-01ad-ca80-32249218b8573b30.jpg)
His eyes open wider at the sight in front of him.
DONNIE OSMOND: Oh no… this is DEFINITELY not Puppy Love. Sorry, gents, this elevator is, uh, full…
Osmond desperately hits the Elevator Close button, but suddenly King is back, carrying Bull’s logger chain!! He comes racing forward and smashes into Bull, sending both of them into the elevator!! They crash into Osmond, who yells out in a high-pitched voice. Bull pulls himself up, angrily grabbing at the chain, as King fights to hang onto it. The two wrestlers start swinging away at each other with their free arms, going wild, as the elevator doors slowly start to close.
DONNIE OSMOND: HELP ME!!!
Osmond reaches out from the side towards the doors in desperation. Blade, meanwhile, pulls himself up and reaches up, trying to trip the sensor, but he’s a second too late to stop the doors. The elevator shuts, heading off to another floor, as Blade pounds on the door for a moment before stumbling off, presumably for the stairs. The camera is left filming an empty area, turning around to show the massive destruction behind them.
DERRICK DIAMOND: We’ve lost track of our fighters!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Don’t worry, we knew this might happen. We have cameras stationed all around the Mirage hotel and casino. We’ll find them again.
CJJ: But what about Donnie?? Someone’s got to do something!!!
All announcers are quiet, presumably staring at CJJ.
CJJ: What? You have to hear him in concert. I dare you not to dance when he starts singing Soldier of Love…
There’s still no response from the announcers. In the meantime, we find ourselves on the ground floor of the hotel, as we see the elevator “1” light up. The doors slide open… with Bull and King fighting their way out of it, leaving behind several blood smears inside, as well as a collapsed Donnie Osmond. It’s hard to tell if he’s been injured or just fainted. The light above him sparks, showing that there’s some damage to the elevator as well. The elevator doors close again, going to who knows where, even as Bull picks up King, throwing him bodily onto an old luggage cart!! With King stunned, Bull picks up his chain where it had fallen, putting it back on his shoulders. He then grabs hold of the cart, shoving it forward as he runs along with it, heading past the lobby… and towards a slope leading to the casino!! King goes flying downwards, out of control, until he crashes into a set of slot machines, sending them all toppling over with a loud crash!! King’s down, as Bull looks around quickly for one of the replacement referees, since the first one didn’t get on the elevator. A female referee is nearby, so Bull steps over, shoving one of the slot machines over onto King, before making the cover on top of it, holding onto it with both hands.
1…
2…
THRE-And King somehow pushes free of the slot machine, getting a shoulder up!! Bull, a little surprised, seems to nod to himself before reaching down and dragging King back up. He takes him over towards a large Game of Thrones style machine, but at the last second, King reverses their momentum, managing to use all his strength to launch Bull head-first into the machine instead!!! The machine explodes in sparks and flames, as we start to hear the voices inside shout about how Winter Is Coming in weird, undulating voices. Bull jolts from the electric burst he just got, falling backwards, with a bloody King falling on top of him…
1…
2…
THR-No!! Bull kicks out in time!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: How on earth did Bull kick out of that??
FLASH ROTTEN: You know nothing, Patrick Mathews…
PATRICK MATHEWS: Oh, I get it, quoting the TV series.
FLASH ROTTEN: What TV series?
King wearily brings Bull up, who’s beginning to show a lot of blood even with his silver mask on. King doesn’t seem to care, as he drags Bull further along, over to a large roulette table. King lifts up Bull, trying to throw him onto the table, but Bull blocks him, then lifts up King himself, getting King onto his shoulders and launching him head first onto the table!! King slides forward, his head resting right near the roulette wheel. Seeing this, Bull grabs a silver ball from the side, studying it for a second, before throwing it into the wheel… and spinning it, rattling King’s head as he does so!!! The ball bounces around, hitting King once or twice, before landing on 24 Black. King rolls off the table, landing on his knees, using the table to pull himself back up. But Bull is ready, rushing at King and giving him the Boot Check, sending King flying over to the table to the other side!!! With King down, Bull comes around, going for the cover on the champion, as the referee moves over to that side…
1…
2…
THRE-And John Blade comes flying in from out of nowhere, hammering into Bull’s back with a double axehandle shot to break up the cover!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Where did he come from???
FLASH ROTTEN: Nobody can see John Blade when he doesn’t wish to be seen!
CJJ: Blade is officially a Faceless Man, confirmed.
PATRICK MATHEWS: We’ve already left the Game of Thrones references behind, CJJ…
Bull tries to get up, but Blade is on the offensive now. He nails a rising Bull with a shoulder block, knocking him down. A second shoulder block soon follows, doing more damage. Bull struggles up again, throwing a punch, but Blade catches Bull and lifts him up, spinning him around and delivering a side slam onto a nearby poker table!!! Fired up, Blade jumps on top of the table as well, looking down at Bull and giving him the “You Can’t See Me” hand gesture. He then looks around, unable to run on the table, before shrugging and just dusting off his shoulder and dropping with the clenched fist punch!! Bull rolls off the table, landing on his feet, as Blade drops down next to him. He grabs hold of Bull, looking to lift him up for the Death Valley Drop!! But suddenly, King is there, smashing a whole tray full of poker chips over Blade’s head!!! He drops Bull to the side, collapsing to the floor, as King painfully hangs onto the table to keep himself up.
PATRICK MATHEWS: King may have just saved his championship by stopping Blade’s move flow there!
DERRICK DIAMOND: But was it the right move? Should King have waited for Blade to hit his finisher before intervening?
FLASH ROTTEN: Now you’re thinking like a true strategist, Derrick.
CJJ: Either way, Blade’s now joined his fellow competitors in giving some color, as everyone is bleeding now!
Blade’s struggling to get up, his forehead now covered in a bloody splotch from where the poker tray landed. He tries to turn, but King is already grabbing him from behind, applying a full nelson submission!! King gets the fingers locked, swinging a struggling Blade back and forth, as Blade pushes King backwards, down the hall, past the Center Bar. King won’t let go, fighting hard, as Blade’s efforts start to lessen. He weakens, falling to a knee, as King tries to get Blade to tap out. But Blade refuses, saying he’ll never give up, even as the referee asks him. The referee nods, then frantically dives out of the way, as Corey Bull returns, launching a large-screen television at both men!!! Neither can avoid in time, as the TV crashes into them, the screen shattering into a million pieces!!! King and Blade are both down now, as it’s hard to tell who took the worst of it. Bull slowly limps over to them, pulling off his chain and wrapping it around Blade. He starts to pull the bloodied wrestler behind him, dragging him towards the nearby doors and heading inside. The camera slowly pans upwards at the poster nearby…
![](https://www.accelerator3359.com/ssl/WarGames/beatleslove.jpg)
DERRICK DIAMOND: Oh no…
FLASH ROTTEN: Did anyone tell the performers not to be there today for rehearsal?
CJJ: I hope so, or else the final show is actually tonight!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Someone needs to tell them to evacuate!!
We go to another camera, inside the Love Theatre that houses the Cirque du Soleil show. We see numerous performers running for cover as Blade is sent flying onto the stage, crashing onto the floor, which emits a purplish glow where he landed. Bull follows him in, grabbing hold of a few unlucky performers that run his way, sending them flying. He turns, seeing a petrified performer sitting in some sort of red, white, & blue cannon. They’re shaking their head fearfully, but Bull just stops, his mask once again seeming to smile. He grabs the nearby hammer, lifting it up, before bringing it down hard on the mechanism, sending the screaming performer airborne!!! He disappears into the sky, as Bull then turns back to Blade, raising up the hammer again. But Blade suddenly pulls loose one of the electronic floorboards and launches it at Bull, smashing it across him!! Bull staggers, with Blade then rushing at him, catching him with a one-armed bulldog!! The bloody Blade stays on top, trying for a cover, as a performer dressed in a referee’s outfit comes over. The performer looks at both men before dropping to pantomime the count…
1…
2…
TH-But Bull still strongly kicks out! Blade looks over at the face-painted referee, who can only shrug.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Wait, that’s not one of our refs!
DERRICK DIAMOND: I mean, he’s dressed appropriately… but would the pin even count?
FLASH ROTTEN: In a match like this? Anything goes.
Blade struggles to his feet, his face a crimson mask now. All three competitors have put themselves through hell so far in this one, but the fight still continues. Blade grabs onto Bull and starts to drag him over to a rampway, which is normally used for roller-skating stunts. He grabs onto Bull, showing his strength by getting the man up onto his shoulders once again for the Death Valley Drop!! But Bull blocks it, fighting free, as he wraps his logger’s chain around Blade’s neck!! The massive loops of the chain are hard to fight against, as Blade tries with all his might to pull them away. But Bull makes it worse, shoving Blade off of the ramp and leaving him hanging there, his legs kicking desperately as his oxygen is cut off!!! Bull just looks down at him, holding onto the chain, watching as Blade’s kicks lessen in strength!!
CJJ: Damn!! Corey Bull is killing John Blade!!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: C’mon, damnit, this is going too far!! Someone stop this!!
FLASH ROTTEN: There’s nothing anyone can do, Patrick. This one isn’t over until Blade gives up…
DERRICK DIAMOND: Someone tell that Cirque du Soleil performer to call it!!
As others look on from the far sides, looking freaked out, Bull continues to choke out Blade. Suddenly, there’s a loud, musical honk, along with an engine roaring to life. Bull, startled, turns and looks to the side… as a magical mystery bus comes flying onto the stage!!! The performers nearby act instinctively, showing their incredible athleticism by leaping out of the way!!!
![](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/24/ae/9b/5b/the-beatles-love-by-cirque.jpg)
Bull, though, has nowhere to go, as the bus launches forward, smashing into the side of the ramp!!! Bull releases the chain, sending Blade tumbling down the ramp, as he falls backwards from the impact, disappearing from sight behind the ramp!!! People are screaming and running back and forth as the camera moves to the bus side, where the door swings open… and a blood-soaked Gideon King stumbles out!! He looks at what he’s done, nods, and then stumbles around to the other side, where Blade is laying, trying to catch his breath.
PATRICK MATHEWS: What happened to Corey Bull? Did he survive that fall??
DERRICK DIAMOND: Even if he did, that was a hell of a plunge!
FLASH ROTTEN: Peter Vaughn would be proud!
King has dragged Blade up now, dragging him alongside him as they head towards the emergency exit door in the theater. King launches Blade into it, sending Blade crashing through the other side, as the alarms immediately begin to sound. King ignores them, going out after Blade… and we find ourselves outside of the Mirage, in the evening hours here in Las Vegas!! A few people walking by, having been taking in the sights, glance over and then do a double-take, before screaming and running away from the two blood-covered wrestlers. King, meanwhile, is back on Blade, pulling him along before they reach a small parking lot. King immediately lifts Blade up into the air, then throws him forward, onto the hood of a Chrysler!! Blade’s feet crack the front window, as he lays there, with King leaning over to make the cover. But there are no referees seemingly nearby.
FLASH ROTTEN: This isn’t good. The animals are now loose in Las Vegas!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: We knew that this match would be unpredictable, but this has gotten totally out of control!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Watch out, Caesars Palace and The Venetian, the fight might be heading your way!!
King, upset that there is no one to count, opts to get further up onto the car. He grabs at Blade’s legs, turning him over… into a Sharpshooter submission on top of the Chrysler!! Blade is struggling, trying to pull himself away from the hold, as King works to maximize the damage he’s doing. Finally, we can see a referee running over, having exited the Mirage. He looks frazzled, talking on a radio, probably informing the higher-ups that the action has spilled onto the Las Vegas streets. The radio gets put away, as the referee moves in, checking if Blade will submit. But Blade shakes his head, firing himself up with one more adrenaline boost, as he grabs at the hood of the car, managing to drag himself forward. The angle is changed, causing King to fall forward, with both men sliding off the car to the asphalt below!
The referee watches from a safe distance as both men struggle to get up. King, shaking his head, walks over to Blade, wanting to get him into position for Checkmate (GTS)!!! But Blade fights out of it, then turns, grabbing hold of Blade and yanking his legs out from under him, smacking him down on the parking lot ground!! Blade follows that up by dropping his own weight backwards, sling-shooting King up and over a nearby Jeep, with King tumbling over it before landing hard on the other side!! Blade gets up, rubbing blood from his eyes as he heads that direction. King is trying to get up, but Blade is there, grabbing hold of King and dropping him with a DDT on the concrete!!! King’s not moving, as Blade makes the cover, with the referee making the count…
1…
2…
THRE-NO!!! Somehow King gets his shoulder up!!
FLASH ROTTEN: That HAD to just be instinct. King’s brains have to be muddled after that DDT…
CJJ: As we’ve seen many times, Flash, many men can keep working without having an ounce of brainpower to guide them.
FLASH ROTTEN: Too true, CJJ, too true. Just look at who we work with!
DERRICK DIAMOND: And a big “Screw You” to you too, Flash…
Blade is back up now, pulling King along as they head further along the parking lot, along the side of the Mirage. He whips King forward, sending him ramming into the side of an SUV. King slumps there, trying to gulp in some air, as Blade approaches him. But as Blade grabs for him, King reaches up and latches onto Blade, snapping him forward… and smashing Blade’s head straight into the passenger window next to him!!!! Blade falls backwards, with a few more cuts added to the damage, as King sags forward, dropping on top of him for the cover, as the referee avoids the spray of glass so he can count…
1…
2…
THRE-NO!! Blade shoves his arm up at the last moment! King looks at him with a bit of desperation in his eyes, as if just wanting this one to be over. But he sucks it up, getting to his feet and dragging Blade up with him. The two men continue on past the SUV, to where a string of eighteen wheelers have been set up, with the faces of WGWF wrestlers on them. King goes to slam Blade into the truck, but Blade stops it, reversing to knock King into the side of it instead! King slumps against the side of the eighteen wheeler, trying to recover, with Blade coming over to him and slugging him. King returns the punch, with the two weary warrior hammering each other. They both rear back for the final swings, when suddenly there’s a loud bellow from above them!! Both men turn to look up… at Corey Bull, who is now standing on the top of the eighteen wheeler!! He leaps off, a terrifying sight, crashing into both men and taking them all down to the asphalt!!!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Jesus!!!
CJJ: I would have NEVER expected that from Bull!!
FLASH ROTTEN: It shows how much Corey wants that championship back!
DERRICK DIAMOND: But will ANY of them be able to continue after that crash landing?!?!
All three wrestlers are down now, hurting after that impact. Bull has slumped to the side, holding his injured shoulder, while King and Blade both are on their sides, breathing heavily. The referee is nearby, waiting to see if anything close to a pin attempt takes place. In the meanwhile, a long limo pulls up nearby the three wrestlers. The back door opens, with the man getting out and coming over to take a look at them, with a large smile on his face.
![](https://media.lasvegasmagazine.com/media/img/photos/2022/01/20/Wayne_Newton_cr_Denise_Truscello_LD_t1024.jpg)
WAYNE NEWTON: Damn, I love Vegas! Create your own destiny, boys!
With that famous grin, Newton turns and gets back in his car, making sure to get him out of danger before any of the wrestlers recover.
PATRICK MATHEWS: That… that…
DERRICK DIAMOND: That was Mr. Las Vegas!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: You never know when he’s going to show up!!
CJJ: This match has been absolutely insane…
Slowly, Corey Bull gets to his feet first. He lurches over to the other wrestlers, looking at them both before dropping an elbow on John Blade and making the cover. The referee slides over nearby…
1…
2…
THR-No! Blade kicks out! Annoyed, Bull pushes himself upright, only to turn and drop an elbow on Gideon King! He makes another cover, hanging onto the legs, as the referee counts again…
1…
2…
THR-No! King kicks out as well! Bull angrily gets up, grabbing the referee by the shirt, with the referee proclaiming his innocence in the matter. Bull shoves him away, sending the referee reeling, before he reaches down and picks up King, dragging him towards the corner of the building, near the south entrance. They head up the drive, with Bull clearly having a destination in mind to end all of this.But King suddenly fights back, elbowing Bull in the side multiple times to get himself free. He then throws a punch towards Bull, but Bull catches him, lifting King up and giving him a backbreaker onto his knee!!! King falls to the side, as Bull slowly gets back up… only to have Blade leap onto him, applying a sleeper hold from behind!! Bull staggers forward, fighting to get free, as Blade tenaciously hangs on. But after several steps, Bull is able to grab hold of Blade, throwing him forward to the ground. Bull gasps for a few seconds, catching his breath, before turning… and King runs straight into him with a spear, driving him back to the edge of the fountain!!! Both men go down, as the camera slowly pans up to show us where we are.
PATRICK MATHEWS: I think we all had a feeling that this one was going to end here…
DERRICK DIAMOND: Where else would a final battle take place?
![](https://content.r9cdn.net/rimg/dimg/38/54/e465ffee-lm-9198-172bc2cd91f.jpg)
The volcano show, as if on cue, begins to go off, shooting up jets of flames from different spots all across the attraction. In the meantime, Blade is up, staggering over and grabbing at King. He picks King up on his shoulders, holding him high, ready to give him the Death Valley Drop into the edge of the fountain!! But Bull grabs hold of Bull, nailing him from behind and causing Blade to fall face first into the water!! Bull then grabs for King, wanting to end this, but King lashes out, catching Bull under the chin with a tremendous punch!! Bull stumbles back, into the fountain, walking through the water, with King on his heels. The two reach the side of the volcano, beginning to start going up the side, as King continues to attack Bull, with Bull throwing back shots of his own. With flames going off all around them, the two men continue their ascent towards the top of the volcano!
FLASH ROTTEN: Talk about dramatic!!
CJJ: What is this, Lord of the Rings??
PATRICK MATHEWS: One Blood Bath to rule them all!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: We’re getting towards life and death here! Who’s going to survive??
King and Bull are now at the edge of the volcano, still fighting away, as blasts of fire continue to shoot up in programmed sequences around them. Somehow, they avoid the fire, battling away at each other. King, barely able to see through the blood all over his face, manages a European uppercut that staggers Bull back towards the crater. Emboldened, King throws another uppercut, with Bull’s arms wavering as he fights the inertia, on the edge of falling in! King, seeing this, loads up, preparing his best European uppercut. He winds up and runs forward… and John Blade is there, ramming into King from the side, sending King toppling to the side into the volcano!!!! King disappears from sight, as Blade stands there, looking down, shocked himself at what just happened!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: OH MY GOD!!!!
CJJ: King just got Gollum’ed!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Holy shit!!
FLASH ROTTEN: Capitalize now, Blade!!
After a few seconds of shock, Blade shakes it off, turning towards where Bull is trying to recover. He walks over, grabbing hold of Bull and trying to get him up on his shoulders, obviously hurting. He manages it, raising Bull up… and Bull wraps his arm around Blade’s neck, backwards, tightening it as he pushes backwards, forcing Blade to drop the move! They both land on the edge, with Blade having to scramble to not fall in after King. He is able to push himself away, dragging himself up… and Bull grabs hold of him, scooping him up and bodyslamming Blade on the rocks!!! Blade yells out in pain, gasping, as Bull drags himself over for the cover… but there’s no referee at the top of the volcano.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Where are the refs? Smash is about to win the title back!
CJJ: Apparently there are places where even our refs won’t go.
FLASH ROTTEN: Look again, CJJ! Here comes one, he just needed some gear!
The camera looks down from the volcano’s edge, where we see a figure climbing up after the wrestlers. It’s a man in a black-and-white striped firesuit, apparently to protect him from the blasts of flames that are still going on. He gets to the top, leaning over to slap the hard ground as Bull is still laying on Blade…
1…
2…
THREE-NO!!! Blade gets the shoulder up!! Bull shakes his head, not believing that this one is still going. He slowly gets himself up, his mask itself seeming like it’s bleeding from how much blood is splattered around. He works to lift Blade up, struggling… as behind him, we can see a hand suddenly appear, grabbing hold of the edge of the volcano!! Slowly, agonizingly, we see Gideon King’s head appear, as he works to yank himself out of the crater!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: It’s the Return of the King!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: So he’s not Gollum, he’s Frodo!
CJJ: Where’s Sam when you need him??
FLASH ROTTEN: … I’m working with a bunch of nerds…
Not seeing King’s revival, Bull brings Blade into the air, wanting the Kingsbury Run. He gets Blade up for the first chokeslam… and King breaks it up, smashing into Bull’s back with a forearm! Bull drops Blade, staggering forward… and Blade grabs hold of him, pulling Bull downwards into a quick pin attempt!! The referee has stayed nearby, having found a non-burnable spot, and quickly starts to count…
1…
2…
But King breaks it up!! He grabs hold of Blade, hauling him up and getting him into the air… CHECKMATE!!!! The volcano begins rumbling loudly, as if near eruption, as King stops Blade from sliding into the crevice and gets on top of him for the cover…
1…
2…
THREE-NOOOO!!!! Corey Bull breaks it up with a running kick to the head!!! King rolls, toppling down the side of the volcano, picking up speed as he crashes into the fountain!! The volcano goes into full eruption mode, as Bull hauls Blade up and lifts him into the air, spinning him around… and landing the Downward Spiral!!! He makes the cover…
1…

WINNER AND NEW BLOOD BATH CHAMPION: COREY BULL
Match Time: 31:58

PATRICK MATHEWS: WHAT A MATCH!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Okay, medics, time to move in, everyone here needs help!!
FLASH ROTTEN: That was the damnest thing I think I’ve ever seen…
CJJ: It was brutal, it was destructive… it was a blood bath. Congratulations to Corey Bull for bringing the gold home!!
King has pulled himself up out of the fountain, looking upwards as Bull is standing at the top, triumphant, flames going off all around him. King smashes his hand into the water, sending a jet spraying away from him, as he shows his disappointment. He falls back into the fountain, taking a seat, as medics begin to rush into view. We show Bull raising a weary fist in celebration as we cut away from the action.
Earlier Today…
Backstage, it looks like a Wild Western Stare Down. One side of the hallway, you see the World Champion, Cholo. On the other side, you see Team Captain of Team Mont, J Mont. Both, looking at one another. Brothers at Arms. They both start to make their way towards one another. Step by Step, but what is about to happen? As they get closer to one another, they both stop with about a foot of space between them. Cholo is looking at J Mont. J Mont is looking at Cholo. Who is going to break the ice here?
J Mont walks towards Cholo and gives him a big hug. Talk about brotherly love right there. As J Mont lets go and takes a step back, he looks at Cholo with a look of disappointment.
J MONT: I'M SORRY!!!!
![](https://i.imgur.com/1ZLtCSb.jpg)
With those 2 words, Cholo doesnt know what to say right now. J Mont pats the World Title 5 Times and nods at Cholo as he walks the way he was coming. Cholo is left standing there wondering what is on the mind of J Mont and why he is SORRY!
DERRICK DIAMOND: WOW! I don’t think I ever heard J Mont say, Im sorry!
FLASH ROTTEN: J Mont is the master of mind games Derrick. Something is up with this right here.
DERRICK DIAMOND: J Mont has been quiet all night long and all we get out of him are 2 words tonight?
FLASH ROTTEN: Those words have a meaning and I want to know what it means. Is Cholo going to win an Oscar for his acting right now? He knows what's up, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

WINNER AND STILL WGWF TELEVISION CHAMPION: EDWARD GRADO
Match Time: 18:19
¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬
DERRICK DIAMOND: Grado does it!!
FLASH ROTTEN: A stunning result. I guess that means more Madonna to come, then…
Grado is too sore to fully celebrate, but he still is cherishing the Television Title as we cut away.
The words “earlier today” appear on the lower right hand side of the screen… Cholo is seen arriving at the WGWF Arena, dressed in a white suit with black collar shirt and black tie to match his black loafers. His afro is looking as immaculate as ever, Soul Glo doing God’s work, and sporty shades cover his eyes. The World Heavyweight title is draped over his shoulder, which he holds with his left hand, and on his wrist, you see the Rolex watch that J-Mont gifted him last year. There is no drink in his hand as usual, just his luggage bag. With him is his uncle and manager Paco “The Drinking Time Bomb” Perez and his ‘now official’ girlfriend, Abigail. You see the usual WGWF reporters standing by, Cherry Cola, Gus Sinclair, and Denisse Essex but it is Gus who manages to get ahead of the ladies to stick a mic in front of Cholo’s face and talk to him first.
GUS SINCLAIR: Cholo! Welcome! Big night tonight!
CHOLO: Hello ladies, Gus. Yes, it is, a big night for all involved and of course, for yours truly, as he defends his precious 2.0 for the first time, for the second time.
GUS SINCLAIR: Yes indeed, your first title defense on your first run was against Austin Ramsey on Monday Night Brawl, but this, somehow feels bigger.
CHOLO: It feels bigger, because it is bigger, am I right ladies?
Denise and Cherry giggle but Abigail jabs Cholo on his side and he winces while managing to smile and laugh slightly at the same time.
CHOLO: Kiddin’! Ow girl, what are you doing? Trying to give CJ an advantage? Trust Cholo, he doesn’t need it. But yes Gus, this match has higher stakes riding on it, and Cholo is not just saying that because he is in his second home of Las Vegas, Nevada!
He pauses here for the cheap pop.
CHOLO: But with all respect due to Austin Ramsey, hope him and his lovely family are well, CJ Phoenix is on another level… He already shocked the world once, and if he would have his way tonight, Cholo is sure he wants to shock the world again… But this time, like my buddy Peter loves to say, is different… Big match feel, absolutely, great opponent, no doubt, and big match Cholo is ready to go, he has never been more ready… He has never been more healthier… He has never been more focused, tonight, Cholo WILL defend his championship proudly.
Before Gus can ask another question, he gets shoved aside by Cola who wants to get her question in.
CHERRY COLA: Hi Cholo! Question, who is this ska-
But Cholo shushes her, putting his index finger on her lips. Abigal is looking at Denise like ‘no you f’n didn’t just say what I think you said!’ but Cholo’s attention is across the hallway. There you see Team Captain of Team Mont, J Mont himself. Both, now looking at one another, brothers from another mother, “The Odd Couple”. They both start to make their way towards one another, and as they get closer to one another, they both stop with about a foot of space between them. J Mont is looking at Cholo. Cholo is looking at J Mont. The tension is palpable, but only briefly, as J Mont gives Cholo a big hug, the type of hug only a brother gives and Cholo hugs him back. As J Mont lets go and takes a step back, he looks at Cholo with a look of disappointment.
J MONT: I'M SORRY!!!!
With those 2 words, J Mont pats the World Title 5 Times and nods at Cholo as he walks the way he was coming. Cholo is left standing there, looking at J Mont as he walks away, and speaks the words, just loud enough for the camera to pick up.
CHOLO: Don’t be, just kick ass tonight.
Cholo turns back to the reporters and now it is Denise who asks a question.
DENISE ESSEX: That was an interesting moment there with J Mont Cholo, but I guess in a way, the world is relieved that you are not the 5th member of Team J Mont. How-
But clearly it is the wrong question as Cholo, very out of character, snatches the microphone out of Denise’s hand. His look is not that of the fun-loving Champ, but that of someone who is clearly pissed off at the world.
CHOLO: Oh, is the world relieved?! Are you relieved Denise? What about you, camera man, are you relieved? How about my gente in the arena, are you all relieved?!
The crowd cheers loudly but Cholo cuts them off.
CHOLO: No mi gente, not tonight… Everyone wants to act like Cholo not being in Team J Mont is the greatest thing in the world… Well, Cholo has news for everyone, Cholo and J Mont go way back, long before WGWF and Cholo has always been Team J Mont! And stop typing away you nerds because Cholo said he is team J Mont, not in the Fortunate Ones, don’t put words in the champ’s mouth. Cholo doesn’t care for anyone in TFO, but J Mont is Cholo’s boy and you want to know why? Because while everyone claims to love Cholo… While everyone wants to be Cholo’s friend, who is the one, that actually acts like one? Who was the very first one who came to see Cholo after he lost the World title? Who checks in, on the daily on Cholo? Who out of the entire WGWF roster has invited Cholo to his house? And no, the Thanksgiving gathering at Page’s house doesn’t count… Though, if Cholo is honest, that was a damn good time. But it is always J Mont who is always making sure Cholo is good, nobody else… You think Cholo is flying across he pond to hang out with Devlin Knight? You think Max Stone has reach out to Cholo about him being the latest IC champ? You think The Beast has ever invited Cholo to his dungeon? Not that Cholo would go, but he’s just saying. You think Lexi Gold has reached out to Cholo at all since coming back even though he was the one doing the best to help her against Mike Mason? You think our boss has invited Cholo to one of his many podcasts? Oh that’s right, he doesn’t have any, wink, wink. Team WGWF is only team WGWF in name, but none have been friendly to Cholo… they just don’t want him on the other side, that’s all… Well, Cholo is SORRY if everyone is disappointed that his friendship with J Mont is stronger than ever… but let Cholo tell you this right now, if he didn’t have to defend his precious 2.0 tonight, he would have been right next to J Mont on his team NOT as his fifth member, but as his first!
He lets that sink in before finishing.
CHOLO: Now if you excuse me Denise, Cholo has to go prepare for a very important match.
Cholo hands her back the microphone and walks past the reporters, parting them up. Abigail grabs Cherry Cola by her hair and a cat fight breaks out. Gus and Denise try to pull them apart as Paco is trying to pull Abigail back and he calls for Cholo but he is long gone.

PATRICK MATHEWS: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to one of our marquee matches of the night. Toxik will be challenging for the world tag team titles tonight against our current champions Cassette Collective.
CJJ: That’s funny, you used challenge and Cassette Collective in the same sentence.
The arena lights dim, plunging the crowd into darkness. An eerie silence envelops the venue as a low, sinister hum begins to emanate from the speakers. The TitanTron flickers to life, displaying cryptic, distorted images of haunted landscapes and shadowy figures. Suddenly, a chilling voice echoes throughout the arena, announcing the arrival of Je$tyr Seryou$ and SYNN.
MEMPHIS BELLE "Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the arrival of the harbingers of darkness... Je$tyr Seryou$ and his partner, SYNN.........TOXIK!"
A thick, unnatural fog starts to pour from the entrance ramp, creeping across the floor like ghostly fingers reaching out for the souls of the unsuspecting. From the shadows, Je$tyr Seryou$ emerges, his eyes gleaming with a malevolent intensity. His movements are slow and deliberate, exuding a menacing calm as he steps forward. His face is painted with a sinister smile, twisted and grotesque, contrasting with his dark, gothic attire. Behind him, SYNN materializes from the shadows, her presence ethereal and haunting. Her eyes are cold, calculating, and her movements are almost otherworldly, as if she's gliding rather than walking.
Je$tyr Seryou$ raises his arms, and the eerie hum transforms into a haunting melody, echoing through the arena. SYNN extends her arms, her fingers claw-like, as she joins Je$tyr in a synchronized, eerie dance, their movements hypnotic and unsettling. The fog thickens, and the air grows colder, sending shivers down the spines of those in attendance. The crowd, caught in a trance-like state, watches in both awe and terror as the duo makes their way to the ring. As they reach the ring, Je$tyr Seryou$ slides in with a serpentine grace, his eyes never leaving the camera, while SYNN gracefully ascends the steel steps, her gaze piercing through the darkness. They stand in the center of the ring, their presence dominating and terrifying, as the haunting melody fades into an eerie silence. Je$tyr Seryou$ raises his hands once more, and with a sudden, chilling finality, the lights flicker back on, revealing the malevolent duo, ready to unleash their reign of terror upon their opponents.
MEMPHIS BELLE "Prepare yourselves... for the darkness has arrived!"
PATRICK MATHEWS: Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was absolutely terrifying. Wouldn’t you agree, CJJ? CJJ? … I think my partner is hiding in the crowd. CJJ! Get back over here!
A few seconds go by, and the sound of a mic being reconnected is heard.
CJJ: Okay, I’m back…
PATRICK MATHEWS: What happened??
CJJ: Uh, er, there was a lady who, uh, needed CPR in the crowd, so I had to go help, y’know?
PATRICK MATHEWS: It looked more like you were cowering behind her than giving her mouth-to-mouth.
CJJ: Nope. It was CPR. I’m a hero.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Oh, look, Synn is here!
CJJ: WHERE?!?!
PATRICK MATHEWS: I knew it, coward…
MEMPHIS BELLE And now, there opponents…
We get a view of the stage where we see a colorful 80s inspired curtain backdrop, then on both sides of the stage are large Rubik's Cubes and boomboxes set up.
MEMPHIS BELLE Weighing a combined 239 lbs, from Auckland, New Zealand, here are your WGWF Tag-Team Champions of the World… KC Cooper… Pax Egan…. THE CASSETTE COLLECTIVE!!
"Spice Up Your Life" by The Spice Girls hit and both Pax and KC burst out from behind the curtain to cheers from the crowd as they run down the ramp and all around ringside where they clap some fans hands and engage with them before climbing up the steel steps and entering the ring through the bottom rope. From there they each climb the corner turnbuckles and taunt the hot crowd for a bit before jumping down at the same time and focusing their attention towards the stage where they stretch and prepare to meet their next opponents as the music cuts
PATRICK MATHEWS: In the last month, The Cassette Collective has scored up victories over The Wrath of the Storm and the odd pairing of John Blade & A Literal Gorilla. Tonight, though, is a true test for the champions.
CJJ: I wouldn’t say fighting a gorilla is easy… but I’d rather fight that gorilla and 10 of its brethren than get into the ring with Seryous & Synn!
The referee has completed his pre-match ritual and the teams have decided who’s starting for each with Styles starting for Toxik and KC for Cassette Collective. The two meet in the center of the ring with Johnny jawing at KC who smirks at his verbal jabs and shakes her head in disgust. Styles shrugs and then shoves her down by palming her face like a basketball and stepping forward to use his full strength. He takes his right hand and motions like he’s brushing something off of his shoulder. She looks up at him with the most incredulous glare which causes him to laugh at her. He approaches to drag her back to her feet but KC sweeps his legs causing Johnny to land on his backside. She kips up and looking directly at him mocks him by doing the same thing to him that he had done to her.
PATRICK MATHEWS: The ladies from New Zealand are serious competitors, not a wise idea for Styles to take them lightly.
CJJ:I think he’s spot on, they’ve been lame duck champions!
KC runs to the ropes, rebounding off and looking for a sling blade, but Johnny ducks the attempt. She rebounds again and gets taken out by a hard right hand! She lands hard but can roll towards her corner. She sits in the corner as Jestyr wags his finger at her as if to say shame on you! Pax tags in, she leaps over the top rope catching Styles with a kick to the chest that sends him stumbling backwards. Synn tags in and catches Pax charging in with a hip toss, sending her across the ring toward Toxik’s corner. She pops up and starts to charge again but is cut short by a hair pull from Johnny! The crowd is on his ass and so is the ref admonishing him for breaking the rules. He simply smirks and shakes his head. Working quickly, Synn drags her to her feet and hits a russian leg sweep, the impact on the back of Pax’s head is intense. She drags Pax to her feet again, Pax goes for a roundhouse but Synn catches her leg and executes a perfect exploder suplex!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Amazing back and forth action with these two teams trading high impact moves.
CJJ:How can you even say that after that exploder suplex? Toxik will dominate this match!
Pax is now lying face down in the center of the ring and Synn stalks her, she comes in quietly just out of the vision of the New Zealander and charges connecting with a baseball slide to the head. Pax rolls away in pain, clutching her left temple and writhing in pain. Synn drags her back to her feet and tries to irish whip her to the corner, but Pax is able to reverse it. Shit hits a falling neck breaker on Synn and both are down. Pax can make it to her corner where she tags KC back in. KC goes directly to the top turnbuckle, she wastes no motion and leaps off with a frog splash on Synn! She hooks the inside leg as the ref slides into position.
One!
Two!
Kick out by Synn! KC shows no hesitation as she drags Synn back to her feet and sends her back down again with a snap mare. She goes to the ropes and rebounds off hitting Synn with a seated Meteora! She goes for another pin attempt but Styles is there quickly to drag her off before the ref even gets into position. He exits the ring quickly and back to his corner as KC stands up and starts yelling at him. He shrugs, she turns around and he grabs her by the hair, dragging her backward. The ref is there to admonish him but he gets distracted by Pax re-entering the ring. That allows the Jestyr to rap the tag rope around her throat and start choking her out with it. She slumps down in the corner and Synn sees her, she laughs maniacally and charges across the ring while the ref deals with Pax. She leaps into the air, hitting “Nightmare Make Believe”! Her version of the Bronco Buster hits hard but it also seemed like it brought KC back around.
PATRICK MATHEWS: You were saying?
CJJ: Shut up Patrick.
Synn tries to drag KC out of the corner, but KC has other ideas as she kicks the legs out from under Synn and pulls her face first into the middle turnbuckle pad! Styles tags himself in and tries to grab KC but she quickly rolls under his outstretched arms. She rolls back to her feet and nails Johnny with a roundhouse kick that takes him off his feet. She tags Pax in and Styles is back on his feet, just in time for “Chicks With Kicks!” The pair of superkicks lay him out, with Jestyr staring up at the lights, she climbs up to the top ropes. She leaps off, twisting in the air trying to hit spiral tap but he’s able to roll out of the way at the last possible moment. She clutches her back in pain as he pins her.
One!
Two!
springboard leg drop by KC that breaks up the pin! She quickly slides back under the bottom rope and stands up trying to reach for a tag to her partner. Pax is slow to recover and finally does stand back up, only to have Johnny take her back down again with a brutal backstabber! He goes for the cover.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Great save by KC!
CJJ: Here comes the end!
One!
Two!
Thre….
Kickout by Pax! The crowd erupts and Johnny can’t believe she kicked out of that! He drags her to the center of the ring and tags in Synn. They drag her to her feet and then execute a double short-arm clothesline! They don’t let go though and drag her back to her feet, they lift Pax onto their shoulders, and running forward they drop her with a double team muscle buster! Synn makes the cover as the ref applies the count.
PATRICK MATHEWS:Your predictions are not doing so well right now.
CJJ: Another pin attempt!
One!
Two!
Thre..
Kick out by Pax! The crowd goes nuts, Synn and Johnny look at each other, likely trying to figure out what it will take to put these two away. KC begins beating on the top turnbuckle trying to inspire her tag team partner to fight. The crowd gets behind her, cheering louder and louder for the fallen Kiwi Warrior. Styles exits the ring and goes back to his corner. Pax rolls onto her stomach and starts trying to push herself back to all fours. She’s facing the wrong direction, and Synn moves to line her up. Synn waits until she’s almost back to her feet and charges across the ring looking for a spear, Pax simply drops down so she’s on her back as Synn flies over her. She rolls to her corner and tags in KC and the crowd explodes again. KC leaps over the top rope and charges across the ring. She hits a spear on Johnny, taking them both to the ground! The crowd starts a “KC” chant as she gets back on the ring apron. Synn has just about recovered from the spear she missed and has rolled onto her back. KC lines her up and using the ropes for leverage hits a tope atomico! Synn struggles to her feet, but KC is waiting for her. She rushes at Synn and hits a sling blade with authority. She follows up quickly with a pin attempt.
One!
Two!
Thre…
Synn kicks out barely getting her right shoulder off the mat in time. KC drags Synn back to her feet, looks over but her tag team partner is still out of it on the ring apron. The distraction costs her as Synn explodes with hard right hands that rock KC. The hard right hands drive KC into Toxik’s corner where Johnny has made it back to the apron. He tags in and they continue to beat KC down. Now staggered they pull her back into the center of the ring.
PATRICK MATHEWS: What are they thinking here?
CJJ: SeRyOu$Ly-SyNNFuL!
Toxik executes KC with their variation of “Total Elimination”! Johnny makes the cover as Synn watches to make sure Pax doesn’t try to make the save.
One!
Two!
Three!

PATRICK MATHEWS: The reign of the Cassette Collective has come to an end!
CJJ: All hail our new tag team champions, Toxik!
The camera cuts to one of the VIP suites overlooking the ring tonight, right dab in the middle. In it you see the man who has been making headlines in WGWF since joining, “Venom” Xavier Lux. He’s wearing usual street clothes, jeans, t-shirt, leather jacket, but it isn’t his wardrobe that is interesting, but the company he is keeping. Sure, there are some beautiful looking ladies in attendance, but also a legend who hasn’t been that active lately, “The Mechanic” Peter Vaughn with his wife Sadie, and a face we have not seen in the WGWF in a while, but one that is well known around the world: Outcast. Joining them, briefly we assume, is Gus Sinclair, who is standing next to Xavier, ready to interview him.
GUS SINCLAIR: Xavier, you do not have a match tonight, but-
XL: A complete travesty, but after my latest win, I guess no one wants the smoke.
He smirks.
GUS: That could very well be true, so do you have any plans for tonight, or are you just going to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show?
XL: Geez Gus, do they actually pay you to ask such stupid questions?
GUS: I uh-
XL: Rhetorical man. Obviously that’s all I’m doing since I’m not booked… Thought I call up a couple of my buddies so we can watch some ‘rasslin’ and get a little “smashed”, since that is the only way most of these matches will be somewhat entertaining. Except for Cholo’s and J Mont’s of course. Those are going to be bangers.
OUTCAST: True that.
GUS: Outcast! Don’t think I ever had the pleasure! Can I ask you-
OUTCAST: Nooooope.
GUS: Oh alright then, Peter, you have been MIA for a while-
Peter grabs him by his tie and pulls him in so they are face to face.
PETER VAUGHN: You didn’t see me here tonight, got it?!
He lets Gus go and he stumbles backwards, onto the seats. Lux helps him out, laughing.
XL: Look, don’t worry about my guests tonight, we’re just having us a little Exiles reunion fun.
GUS: Oh, The Exiles! Are you perhaps thinking of joining forces to take on The Fortunate Ones?
XL: Please, the 5 of them can’t hold a candle to us, and we’re only three.
OUTCAST: You damn right.
XL: They would be The Unfortunate Ones in a matter of seconds… But nah, like I said, just hanging out, and perhaps, okay, I may have a little interest in that Smash Championship match… But only if Rocco pulls out the win so I can then come and take the title away from him in a few weeks… But if he doesn’t win, then I really don’t care about a dead man’s title… and no, I’m not talking about the man which the title is named after…
GUS: That’s cold, but you mean-
XL: No need to mention someone who only sells when he wins… Just like there is no point on beating on a dead horse… Been there, done that… So good luck to Rocco, if not… I’m in no rush to pick my last three opponents…
GUS: That’s right, you are on your way to 100 matches, with only 3 left before match 100… Any idea on who in the WGWF roster may be the fortunate ones?
XL: Ha! I like what you did there Gus, nicely done. But it can be a fortunate, or an unfortunate one… I really don’t care, all that I care about is that they actually show up!
GUS: What do you mean?
XL: No excuses Gus. There is a difference in “having an off night” and “taking the night off” because you know you can’t beat your opponent, so why bother showing up. I don’t want my opponents to only be good in name, but that they actually show up to prove they are. In due time, we’ll find out who those three are…. I guess… Until then, and before my buddy Outcast here rips your head off, and Peter penalty kicks it across the arena, I think it’s best if you go Gus…
GUS: Yes sir, right away sir… Good night gent-
Outcast growls at Gus. He “eeks” and rushes off as the three of them begin laughing. The camera cuts back to ringside.

MEMPHIS BELLE The next match is scheduled for one fall, and it will be for the WGWF Smash Heavyweight Championship!!
The crowd gives a large cheer, knowing that this one could be an incredible match.
MEMPHIS BELLE Introducing first, the challenger…
“Porn Star Dancing” by Darkest Days featuring Ludacris begins to play. The crowd is immediately booing, knowing who’s coming out next.
MEMPHIS BELLE Standing 5’8” and weighing 226 lbs, from the Bronx, New York, representing The Fortunate Ones, here is ROCCO MONTUORI!!!
We see Rocco Montuori standing in the back, waiting, as his music plays and the crowd hates on him. He shrugs, thinking they’re losers anyway, before storming through the curtain and appearing on the stage in perfection like usual, like a shiny Pokemon that’s rare as fuck to find. Pyro goes off on the top of the cold steel ramp, blowing the budget on his entrance, as Rocco walks forward with complete confidence in what he’s going to do tonight.
PATRICK MATHEWS: So many wrestlers were pushing for the title shot against Enigma. I think it took a lot of people by surprise when Rocco was given the shot.
CJJ: Hey, Rocco became the Blood Bath champion in his first contest here in the WGWF. Enigma must have been impressed with the young man’s career to offer him this shot.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Or Enigma just wants to get his hand on a Montuori, and Rocco was the one available.
CJJ: Hey, Rocco is a major contender, and he’s going to prove it here tonight!
MEMPHIS BELLE And now, his opponent…standing 6’5” and weighing 275 lbs, from The Boiler Room, here is your WGWF Smash Heavyweight Champion, “THE MONSTER MACHINE” ENIGMA!!!
"Luna est dominae, volkodlak malorum
Artes et perditae, lycan incarnatus
Luna est dominae, volkodlak malorum
Artes et perditae, lycan incarnatus"
A dense fog rolls out along the entrance ramp, the haunting whispered chant growing in volume along with the pulsing tempo of the music. A hulking hooded figure appears from the gloom, slowly and methodically stalking towards the ring. His leather doomsday cloak is open over his massive chest, each step bringing him further into the light until "The Monster Machine" is revealed in full, complete with a ball python writhing around his neck. The dark and Gothic chanting continues, music swelling in volume as each pulse in the tempo and each measured step of the monster are in sync.
"Rota, vita, mara, vena
Mare, dracul, morte, vita
Rota, vita, mara, vena
Mare, dracul, morte, vita"
ENIGMA ascends the ring steps and subtly wipes his feet on the apron before stepping between the ropes. He immediately scales the turnbuckles, turning towards the crowd as he lets the hood fall, revealing his war paint and colorless eyes. Throwing his head back, he sprays a bloody mist into the air before letting out a snarl. When his head lowers, blood drips from his chin and down his heaving chest.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Enigma has been the measuring stick here in the WGWF for the last year. He has done the name of Smash proud with his long reign with that championship.
CJJ: Maybe so, but he’s looking a little more vulnerable right now. I think this is where he begins to fall apart without that Fortunate One backing he once had.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Do you really think The Fortunate Ones did that much for him when he was with them? It seemed like he never needed them.
CJJ: Blasphemy! You ALWAYS need The Fortunate Ones!
Enigma stands in the corner staring a hole through Rocco, as the ring announcer finishes the announcements Enigma charges out of the corner looking to take Rocco’s head off with a clothesline. Rocco ducks the clothesline, smartly pointing to himself for being smart enough to dodge it. Enigma stops, spins around, and nails Rocco with a big right hook that drops Rocco. Rocco hits the mat hard and bounces right back to his feet dazed.
Enigma grabs Rocco and whips him hard into the corner. Rocco hits the turnbuckles so hard it sends him ricocheting back towards Enigma who catches Rocco with a big back body drop sending Rocco high into the air. Rocco comes down landing hard on his back, and quickly rolls out of the ring holding his back. Enigma doesn’t look pleased, immediately pacing back and forth, wanting to get his hands back on Rocco.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Rocco Mont running out of the ring with his tail tucked between his legs.
CJJ: What are you talking about? Rocco was jumped before this match even got started.
Rocco walks around the ring holding his back and argues with the ref about getting back in. A frustrated Enigma rolls out of the ring and heads for Rocco. Rocco begins running around the ring from Enigma and quickly rolls into the ring and goes to his feet. Enigma goes to roll into the ring and Rocco goes for a quick elbow drop, but Enigma slides back out of the ring and Rocco hits the mat hard.
Enigma grabs Rocco by the head and pulls him under the bottom rope out of the ring. Enigma whips Rocco into the security railing where Rocco hits hard and slumps against the railing. Enigma steps forward and blisters Rocco across the chest with a chop. Rocco bends over holding his chest and begins to stagger away when Enigma slams a forearm across the back of Rocco. Rocco arches back in pain, and Enigma grabs him by the head and rolls him into the ring.
Enigma gets to his feet stalking over Rocco, as Rocco pushes himself up to his feet. As Rocco stands Enigma grabs Rocco from behind for a German suplex, but Rocco blocks it with his leg and throws a back elbow into the side of Enigma’s head breaking his grip. Rocco charges forward to the ropes and comes back looking for a strike on Enigma, but Enigma catches Rocco with a belly to belly suplex sending Rocco flying overhead.
PATRICK MATHEWS: HUGE SUPLEX! Enigma sent Rocco Mont flying across the ring.
CJJ: I think Enigma threw him by the tights.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Oh stop it.
CJJ: Stop? I’m just getting started.
Rocco pulls himself up into the corner, and as soon as he gets to his feet Enigma charges in and nails Rocco with a European uppercut, Enigma steps back holding Rocco by the wrist and pulls him in, taking Rocco over with a Exploder suplex. Enigma crawls over and makes the pin.

PATRICK MATHEWS: Back to back near falls for Enigma, how much more of this can Rocco Mont take?
CJJ: Rocco Mont can last all night long, but ask your momma Patrick.
Enigma pulls Rocco up to his feet and grabs Rocco around the throat preparing for a chokeslam, but as he does Rocco digs his thumb into the eye of Enigma. Enigma grabs his face with both hands and staggers back. Rocco takes a moment to regroup as he rubs his throat. Rocco then charges forward, but as he does Enigma catches Rocco, lifting him overhead in a gorilla press, perhaps looking for Damnation.
Rocco reaches down, grabbing the face of Enigma, and again goes to the eyes with a eye rake. Enigma drops Rocco, who lands on his feet behind Enigma.

Rocco crashes hard on the mat and begins rolling around holding his elbow. Enigma rolls to the corner, grabs the ropes, and begins to try to pull himself up while Rocco rolls to his knee holding his elbow. With Rocco trying to get up, Enigma greets him, booting Rocco in the stomach, before locking up Rocco and lifting him into the air with a vertical suplex. He holds Rocco up there for several seconds before turning it into a jackhammer slam on the way down, staying on top for the cover.
1…
2…
KICKOUT!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Never doubt the strength of Enigma.
CJJ: I agree that the man is inhumanly strong. We need to find out who genetically enhanced him, because that’s not natural. Someone’s got a Compound V going.
PATRICK MATHEWS: I disagree. Enigma works in the gym every day to stay as powerful as he is.
CJJ: I’m sure Homelander works out too. That doesn’t change anything.
The champion brings Rocco back to his feet, intent on more damage. Rocco, though, pulls away, running his hand through his hair as he does so.

The referee chastises Rocco, even as Rocco drops to his knees, using the moment as a breather.
After clearing his vision again, Enigma pulls himself to his feet and comes out of the corner at Rocco.

Enigma falls backwards into the ropes and is snapped forward by them right into the arms of Rocco who lifts Enigma up and tosses him overhead with a fallaway slam.
Rocco rolls to his knees and begins flexing for the crowd, which brings on a round of boos.
PATRICK MATHEWS: Why isn’t Rocco going for a pin?
CJJ: Rocco is giving the people what they want. This Vegas crowd came to see the Monts.

Rocco goes for a front kick to the chest of Enigma, but Enigma catches the leg of Rocco. Enigma holds onto the leg of Rocco and rolls to his knees.

CJJ: ANOTHER SLOW COUNT! Or someone is cheating Rocco, this is… ROCCO SHOULD HAVE WON!!!

Rocco finally gives up his argument and flips the Ref off. Rocco turns back to Enigma, but turns right around into a spear.
PATRICK MATHEWS: SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!

Rocco leaps off looking to crown Enigma with the belt, but Enigma catches Rocco in mid-air and drops him with the Questions and Answers (choke bomb).
PATRICK MATHEWS: ENIGMA CAUGHT ROCCO!!!
CJJ: Thank goodness the referee is down.
Enigma looks for a count, but the Ref is in the corner holding his eyes from the powder. Enigma gets up and begins checking on the referee, while Rocco rolls to the corner, grabbing the belt as he does.
Enigma pulls the Ref to the corner and puts him in the corner, but the referee is still holding his eyes as Enigma heads toward Rocco. Rocco comes charging out of the corner and swings at Enigma’s head, but Enigma ducks. Rocco stops and spins around, but spins right into the hands of Enigma who catches Rocco with Questions and Answers (choke bomb). Enigma holds on for the pin as the referee clears his eyes and drops to make the count.

PATRICK MATHEWS: Enigma does it again!!
CJJ: Damn it, the ref faked having vision problems until it was time to count! What a crime against Rocco!
PATRICK MATHEWS: The powder was Rocco’s fault!
CJJ: No, it was Enigma’s, he shouldn’t have dodged!
PATRICK MATHEWS: Either way, it’s over! Enigma has gotten past one Montuori… but what about Joe?
CJJ: Right now, J-Mont has more pressing things to worry about that this former Fortunate One…
Enigma is handed the Smash Heavyweight Title, looking at it closely before turning and leaving the ring with it, with little celebration.
You can see Gus Sinclair, as he grows a set of balls right now. He is approaching the locker room of Team Mont and The Fortunate Ones. He knows that's not a safe zone for him, but he has a job to do.
GUS SINCLAIR: I am going to attempt to get some words from Team Mont and maybe J Mont, depending on the mood he is in. I really do not want to get another JKO. But I did get a nice check from Daniels and Barrows, so maybe another wouldn't be so bad.
Gus knocks on the door 3 times and very softly too. Almost like he doesn't want them to hear it but if they do, oh well. There is no response. Gus shrugs his shoulders and is about to walk away, when the door swings open. And standing there is Amber Mansley.
AMBER MANSLEY: What the fuck you want Gus? Can’t you see we are getting ready for the WAR?
GUS SINCLAIR: I wanted to get a few words from you all before the big match goes down tonight. There is a lot at stake here. No one wants to talk about it, but this could change the landscape of the WGWF with whoever wins this War Games Match!
Before Amber can answer the question, you see J Mont appear and look right at Gus. The look is one where Gus may have just shit his pants. J Mont then takes a step back as he guides Amber behind him and slams the door shut into the face of Gus. Once again, no words from J Mont. This is something new and unusual right now.

GUS SINCLAIR: You heard it here first. A door to my face is what J Mont has to say about the War Games match. I need to use the bathroom now, so back to ringside.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Gus is lucky he didn't get another JKO!
FLASH ROTTEN: I am really starting to wonder if J Mont is all there tonight!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Team Devlin has caused J Mont to get into the War Zone that he is in. They did this to themselves.
FLASH ROTTEN: EVERY big match and i mean EVERY big match J Mont has been in, he has talked the talk. All show long too. Tonight, something doesn't seem right. I can't put my finger on it, but something is going down.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I bet you want to put your finger in a Nathan’s Hot Dog!
The shot pans from the ring to a luxury suite overlooking the CCPE Arena. A spotlight appears on the balcony. The crowd roars as the spotlight reveals your next President of the United States, Marvelous Mike Mason.
![](https://www.accelerator3359.com/ssl/WarGames/mikemason.gif)
Mason smiles as he gives a smug grin and nods his head at the crowd. Mason gives a small wave, and then folds his arms as he looks down at the ring waiting for Cholo to make his entrance.

MEMPHIS BELLE The next match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the WGWF Heavyweight Championship of the World!!
There is a loud pop from the crowd, who still have plenty of energy left for the final two contests of the night. They turn towards the entrance, awaiting what’s to come.
"Extreme Malice" echoes through the stadium as the camera rotates around. Seconds later, CJ Phoenix walks out and stops at the middle of the ramp, stretching his arms out while lowering his head.
MEMPHIS BELLE Making his way to the ring, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana...weighing in at 201lbs...the Luminary of Despair...CJ PHOENIX!!!
As the chorus begins, he covers half of his face with his hand. Then, he slowly lowers his arm and looks around at the arena. A sinister smile grows on his face as he walks to the ring. Once inside, he hops on the turnbuckle and stares off unto the audience. Finally, he hops down, looks into the camera lens, and covers one side of his face with his hand for a second and shouts "LET THERE BE LIGHT".
FLASH ROTTEN: I hope CJ is ready to get nasty tonight. I’m tired of seeing the top contenders get along.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I think it’s been refreshing. The two were even able to tag-team together without attacking each other.
FLASH ROTTEN: Right?? When does that ever happen??
MEMPHIS BELLE His opponent, standing 5’10” and weighing 230 lbs, from El Paso, Texas, he is the WGWF Heavyweight Champion of the World, “CHOLO” GIOVANNI SANTANA!!!
The intro to "Mi Gente", the Re-Mix by Jay Balvin featuring Beyoncé and Willy William begins to play getting the crowd to jump to their feet. Once the beat drops, out steps "Cholo" Giovanni Santana looking as good as ever and flashing that million-dollar smile. He holds his usual mezcal cocktail on his hand as he soaks it all in, feeling the love from the fans, and after a few seconds he makes his way to the ring. He walks up the steps, walks on the apron and after wiping his boots, respecting the ring, he gets inside. He walks towards the middle nodding his head to the beat of the catchy song, making his afro wave back and forth. Some of the fans get into it, especially the ladies and Cholo points and winks to some. He goes to chill in one corner, and when the ref comes over to check him, instead he hands him his drink and asks for another. The ref shakes his head not amused and he hands the drink to an official on the outside and then checks Cholo while he, and some of the fans nearby share a laugh.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Cholo is quickly becoming one of the greatest superstars to walk down the aisle in the WGWF, as he’s in his second reign with the World Heavyweight Title.
FLASH ROTTEN: But we’ll see tonight if CJ Phoenix is right: can Cholo win if he doesn’t hate his opponent? He sure hated Mac Bane…
DERRICK DIAMOND: I think Cholo is the consummate professional. I believe we’ll see him at full power here tonight.
FLASH ROTTEN: But will that be enough?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The bell has rang as the fans are excited to witness the championship match between Cholo and CJ Phoenix. Both men get face to face, listening to the official who is expressing towards them to keep the match fair and explain what it is all about before both men bump fists before getting to their neutral corner.
FLASH ROTTEN: The respect is sickening.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Well these two are two fan favorites, get used to it as we will be seeing a lot of it during this match.
We see Cholo walk towards the middle of the ring, staring down the number one contender circles around the larger and more powerful champion. The two men look around as they are hearing the chants from the fans as the crowd is divided in fans from both men as that creates two big smiles on either men’s faces before CJ Phoenix gets in the face as the two men have a stare down that causes the electricity in the arena to grow before both men start to share some words with each other.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I would love to know what they are talking about.
FLASH ROTTEN: I bet that Cholo is trying to convince him that Taco Bell is superior.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Cholo would NEVER say that.
FLASH ROTTEN: But I would. If that gong went off right now, I’d be on my way.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Someone get me a gong.
The words that get mentioned between them get more heated as it ends up with CJ Phoenix pushes Cholo in the chest that causes Cholo to take one step backwards before looking around towards the crowd as he starts to nod his head while saying okay. He then repeats the move, placing both hands upon CJ Phoenix his chest that sends the number one contender tripping over his feet as he bumps into corner with his back while Cholo starts to motion towards CJ Phoenix to bring it as this is being answered with Phoenix nodding his head.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I am sure that CJ Phoenix is planning to put on the best match he has ever wrestled!!!
Phoenix gets back to his feet, circling Cholo as neither men take their eyes of each other before locking arms as Cholo manages to put CJ Phoenix in a standing side headlock that Phoenix tries to counter by pushing him into the ropes before setting Cholo up with an Irish Whip, only for Cholo to reverse it and whip CJ into the ropes instead before dropping him with a big time clothesline that sends CJ Phoenix sliding out of the ring due to the impact. We see the crowd get behind CJ Phoenix as they are clapping their hands and beating it against the barricades making a lot of sound as it seems to both men that they are oblivious from what is going on around them as neither men still haven’t taken each eyes of each other as Cholo walks to the ropes and holds it open for CJ Phoenix to help him to get back into the ring while telling the official not to start a ten count.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I bet that CJ Phoenix has ever experienced a champion like Cholo to show this amount of sportsmanship!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: I would sucker punch CJ if he starts to get back in the ring!!
We see CJ climb the ring apron, keeping some distance from Cholo while hesitantly get back in the ring while staring at the champion. Cholo gets back to his feet after Phoenix has stepped back in the ring as the two men circle each other before locking arms as this time it is CJ Phoenix that gets the momentum over the champion by dropping Cholo on the canvas by delivering a hip toss into a side headlock. Cholo manages to escape the grip as both men get to their feet at the same time as they get into a fighting stance that gets an applause from the fans.
FLASH ROTTEN: Great moves. Now CJ, get the roll-up and grab some tights when the champ’s not ready for it!
This time we see both men acknowledge the fact that the fans are enjoying what they are seeing while so far the match has not even got pushed into the next level. CJ Phoenix extends his hand to fist bump the champion, who looks down at the fist before finally extending his to return the gesture. Both men circle each other while keeping distance before Cholo finally takes a step towards Phoenix, who responds with a spinning heel kick towards the face of Cholo as that causes him to halt in his tracks as CJ Phoenix follows it up with a standing dropkick that sends Cholo staggering into the turnbuckles. We see Phoenix already gotten to his feet as we see Cholo look up towards him out of the corner and charges in on the champion with a Stinger Splash but Cholo sidesteps and watches Phoenix lands chest first into the turnbuckles before feeling Cholo wrapping his powerful arms around his waist for a German Overhead released suplex that sends him crashing into the middle of the ring. Cholo gets up and grabs CJ Phoenix by the arm and pulls him back to his feet and sets him up for a Body Slam, but CJ Phoenix manages to slide out of his grip and pushes him into the ropes before setting him up for a rollup but Cholo thwarts the attempt by grabbing hold of the ropes as Phoenix rolls through before getting to his feet. Cholo walks straight towards CJ Phoenix, stops in his tracks as he catches a Super Kick from Phoenix. Phoenix attempts to remain on his feet as Cholo pushes his foot down to the canvas, only to have Phoenix surprise him with a spinning kick to the side of Cholo’s head as that drop the world champion face first onto the canvas.
FLASH ROTTEN: Cholo walked into that one!!!
Phoenix runs to the ropes and executes a Springboard Moonsault in order to land on Cholo, but the champion manages to roll out of the way as CJ Phoenix manage to turn his body halfway in the air and lands on his feet. Only to have Cholo to deliver a big time clothesline that sends CJ Phoenix 360 in the air before falling face first onto the canvas. Cholo immediately grabs hold of Phoenix and locks him in a big time Bear Hug as he tries to squeeze the life out of the body from the high flyer and grounding him from going into the air. Phoenix tries to get his arms between the powerful arms of the champion in an attempt loosen the grip that Cholo has on him. But Cholo prevents him by tightening the grip on the challenger. This causes CJ Phoenix to lean sideways as the breathing becomes more and more difficult until the official grabs his left arm and raises it in the air before it falls
DERRICK DIAMOND: Will Phoenix pass out???
The official raises the arm a second time as it drops once more.
FLASH ROTTEN: The champ retains!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: NO!!!
All of the sudden we see CJ Phoenix lift an elbow and drives it hard to the side of Cholo’s head as he hits the temple of the champion. This causes Cholo to loosen the grip as CJ Phoenix follows it up with a Code Breaker that causes Cholo to fall backwards while CJ Phoenix is on his back gasping for oxygen. The official checks with both men, looking if they can continue or not before starting to use the ten count
1!!!
2!!!
3!!!
We see CJ Phoenix slowly roll over to his side, gasping for oxygen as he shakes his head in order to shake off the cobwebs as he extends his arm towards the ropes that are too far away from him.
4!!!
5!!!!
6!!!
We see Cholo starting to stir as well as CJ Phoenix has got a headstart on him by crawling towards the ropes. We see Cholo grabbing hold of the back of his head before slowly attempting to sit up
7!!!
8!!!
CJ Phoenix has gotten himself pulled to his feet and turns around to see Cholo pushing him slowly from his knees to a standing position, Phoenix charges in on him as he sets himself up for a Hurricanrana on the champion and connects as Cholo’s head is being driven into the canvas before CJ Phoenix hooks both legs in a pinning position
1!!
2!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Kick out!!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: That was a close one!!!
Phoenix gets back to his feet faster than Cholo as he kicks him to the side of his head before executing a standing Moonsault that gets thwarted by Cholo as he lifts up his legs as Phoenix comes in contact with the shins from Cholo. Cholo slowly rises to his feet while shaking off the cobwebs, feeling the side of his head that has endured some heavy blows as the official is checking on Cholo if he can still continue the match but gets a thumbs up that he is alright.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I’m glad that Cholo is alright, neither men would want to win a title this way.
FLASH ROTTEN: I would!!!
Cholo grabs hold of Phoenix his head, setting him up for a Back Breaker across the knee before placing his hands underneath the chin and the other hand upon one of the upper legs of CJ Phoenix as in to put a lot of pressure on the lower back that he had punished earlier in the match with he Bearhug. We see the official checking in on Phoenix, asking him if he is able to continue but gets a negative on every request as he signals for the match to continue.
Cholo pushes deeper and deeper on his opponent, feeling his arm muscles tense up as he is doing everything that he can to punish his opponent and prevent him from going into the sky further down the match as Phoenix manages to escape the grip after driving an open hand into the forehead of Cholo before rolling off the knee.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Cholo’s ears must be hearing Christmas Songs!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: In June??!!!
Both men struggle to get back to their feet as neither man is feeling all too well, Phoenix can be seen holding on to his lower back before setting himself up for a knife edge chop to the champion's chest who blocks it as the challenger took too much time. Pushing the arm behind Phoenix back as he manages to spin him around into a Hammer Lock and sets him up for a Slam on the arm. Cholo then rolls him over on his back and sets CJ Phoenix up for a Camel Clutch submission hold.
DERRICK DIAMOND: We see Cholo execute moves that we haven’t seen before!!!
Cholo cranks up the tightness as he clearly wants to set him up for a submission victory but Phoenix grabs hold of the bottom rope as they are too near from the ropes as Cholo lets go of the hold and tells himself that he needs to finish it. He watches CJ Phoenix slowly get to his feet before locking in his patented Full Nelson in order to hit the Full Nelson Slam. Only for Phoenix to lock both legs around the legs of Cholo and locks his feet behind his knees and then manages to roll him through into a victory roll as the official starts to count to three.
1!!
2!!!
Thr…
FLASH ROTTEN: HE HAD HIM!!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: I believe it was only a count of two!!!
Phoenix is in shock, not believing what just happened as looks down in amazement at Cholo, having believed he had the champ beat. Cholo is already getting up, so Phoenix hits him in the back, driving him forward. He then grabs hold of Cholo’s arm, turning him around, and whipping him towards the turnbuckle, no, Cholo reverses it, trying to shoot Phoenix towards it instead. But Phoenix gets the double reverse, turning Cholo back around to the opposite corner… where the referee is standing! Cholo’s momentum carries him right into the referee, smashing into him!! Cholo falls to one side, trying to recover, as the referee collapses to the right, hitting the mat hard! Phoenix’s eyes are even wider now, as he clearly didn’t intend for this to happen.
DERRICK DIAMOND: The referee is down!!
FLASH ROTTEN: Damn it, he should have known better than to be standing there!
DERRICK DIAMOND: What, in the ring?
FLASH ROTTEN: Exactly.
Phoenix moves over, checking on the referee, who’s still down. He then looks over at Cholo, seeing the World Champion starting to get up using the ropes. Phoenix hesitates, then goes over to Cholo. He stands behind him, as the crowd is up, wondering what’s going to happen. But Phoenix instead runs away from Cholo, building momentum, and then comes back for the Decapitator… but Cholo ducks under it in time, running forward! As Phoenix rebounds, trying to come back quickly, Cholo leaps into the air and scores the flying forearm!!! Phoenix is down, as Cholo rolls on top of him, grabbing him by the legs to hang on tighter…
…
…
…
But there is no count, as we still don’t have a referee. Cholo gets up, looking around in surprise, finally realizing that the referee is out. He gets up, walking over to him and tugging on the referee’s shirt, trying to get him to rise up. Cholo shakes his head, and then turns, going back to Phoenix, pulling him up… and Phoenix drops him with a jawbreaker, sending Cholo rocketing away! As the champ falls backwards, Phoenix gets back up, holding his head. He looks at the downed referee, and then looks outside of the ring. There are members of the crowd near ringside who are raising up their chairs, trying to get Phoenix to come get them. But Phoenix doesn’t leave the ring. He turns back to Cholo, running at him… and hitting the Javelin (Spear)!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Big move by Phoenix, and he’s got the champ on the ropes!
FLASH ROTTEN: Where’s that damn replacement ref? What’s taking so long?
Almost on cue, we can see another referee running down the aisle, making her way to the ring. The fans are cheering her on, wanting to see a winner in this contest. Seeing the ref coming, Phoenix immediately heads for the turnbuckle, going up to the top. He gets his footing, facing away from his opponent, although he glances back to make sure that Cholo is still there. He then sets himself, ready to fly, and leaps off with the Phoenix Splash… only for Cholo to not be there when he lands!! Phoenix bounces on impact, holding his ribs, as Cholo pulls himself up and grabs Phoenix from behind! Phoenix tries to break free, pulling away from Cholo, and twirls, going for the Talon Kick!! But Cholo dodges again, then catches Phoenix on his way back up and locks him into place. Phoenix can’t get free this time, as Cholo uses all of his weight to lift up into the full nelson slam!!
DERRICK DIAMOND: El Matador!!!!!
Cholo drops CJ Phoenix before going for the cover
1!!

DERRICK DIAMOND: Cholo retained!!!!
FLASH ROTTEN: Phoenix should have low blowed him when he had the chance!
The official raises Cholo’s arm before asking for the world title as he hands it over to Cholo who celebrates his victory with he crowd before turning his attention towards CJ Phoenix. There he grabs him by the arm and lifts him up to his feet before both men celebrate the win with each other and the cheering fans.
The video cuts to a televised view of Cholo and Phoenix after their match. The camera drifts down, showing two wrestlers watching the action while eating popcorn. They are the tag-team known as the Wrath of the Storm. Thunder nods, getting to his feet.
THUNDER: This has been an incredible night, brother!
LIGHTNING: It sure has been, brother.
Thunder walks over to a small cooler, popping it open and pulling two beers out of the ice. He shakes off the excess frozen bits and brings it back over, tossing one to Lightning, who catches it easily after only a couple of bobbles. Thunder then comes and sits back down on his bench.
THUNDER: We’ve seen a new Blood Bath champion crowned in one of the craziest son of a bitch matches I’ve seen…
LIGHTNING: We saw Last Man Standing matches, Grudge matches, Fatal Fourway matches…
THUNDER: We even saw new tag-team champions in that Toxik team we fought.
LIGHTNING: We gave them a good fight, didn’t we, brother?
THUNDER: I think so. I don’t remember much, to be honest.
LIGHTNING: Maybe we can fight them again now that they’re champs.
THUNDER: Maybe.
Thunder and Lightning toast each other, smiling as they each take a drink of their respective cheap beers.
THUNDER: This War Games match is going to be wild.
LIGHTNING: It could be the best ever.
THUNDER: I’m glad we’ve been able to see it, brother.
LIGHTNING: Me too, brother. I just wish they would have let us into the arena this time.
Suddenly, there’s the sound of a door swinging open, and an angry voice rings out.
BARTENDER: HEY!! You two!! I already told you, if you’re not going to come inside to watch the event, you can’t just sit out here and make a nuisance of yourselves! Get gone!
The bartender steps into view, wielding a wicked looking baseball bat. Thunder and Lightning look at each other, and then get to their feet.
THUNDER: Do you know who we are?
BARTENDER: Nope.
THUNDER: We are THUNDER!!
LIGHTNING: And LIGHTNING!!
BARTENDER: Well, I’m Mel, and I don’t give a damn. You still have to leave, got it?
THUNDER: … Fine. But you’ll remember this day when we’re world famous!
The two brothers move off, as the bartender watches them go. The camera angle swings upwards, showing us the CCPE Arena, as we head back to the main event.

See I believe in money, power, and respect
First You get the money
Then you get the muthafuckin, power
After you get the fuckin' power
Muthafuckas will respect you
As the music plays, Joe Montuori walks out of the back. Unlike his usual entrances, though, this one isn't filled with pyro and explosions. J Mont instead just walks straight towards the ring, ignoring everyone around him. He's laser focused, not saying anything to the booing crowd, barely seeming to be blinking. He goes immediately through the cage door, before standing in the ring.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I can’t believe what I’m seeing! J Mont is starting War Games for his team! I figured he’d puss out and make everyone else do all the work so he could waltz in at the end.
FLASH ROTTEN: The last thing I am is a J Mont supporter, but it does take balls for him to start things off for The Fortunate Ones.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Let’s find out who is starting things off for Knight’s Army.
FLASH ROTTEN: Please be Page, please be Page, please be Page.
The crowd erupts!
DERRICK DIAMOND: It’s DEVLIN KNIGHT!
The ovation grows louder when Devlin steps out in front of the crowd with his eyes firmly locked on J Mont! Devlin begins making the walk toward the double rings. J Mont starts looking around but has nowhere to go as he’s caged in.
FLASH ROTTEN: Let’s fucking go!
Devlin reaches the War Games cages and as he enters the ring J Mont pounces! The outside official shuts the door while Mont brings Devlin inside the ring and lands a snug European Uppercut which rocks Knight back into the ropes. Mont charges forward but eats a reverse elbow from Devlin! Knight comes off the ropes with a double leg takedown and begins unloading with right hands from a mount position.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Knight has five minutes with J Mont, something he’s wanted since Wrestle Wars.
Knight gets up to a vertical base and picks J Mont up where he runs him across the ring and sends him face-first off the side of the Cage! Knight runs Mont across the ring and drives him face-first off the other side of the Cage! Knight takes Mont and runs him back across the ring and throws him face-first off the side of the Cage with authority! Mont bounces off the cage staggering backward where he Flair flops down to the mat! The crowd roars as Devlin picks J Mont up and hurls him over the the top ropes of ring one and sends him into ring two. Devlin steps through the ropes of ring one. Knight springboards off the top rope of ring two with a diving elbow drop crashing down upon J Mont!
FLASH ROTTEN: Devlin is giving J Mont a beating thus far!
DERRICK DIAMOND: To a nicer guy it couldn’t have happened. Something Devlin has to think about is doing enough damage to keep J Mont down come the close of this five-minute interval because we don’t know who is coming out next.
FLASH ROTTEN: Great point. We don’t know which team won the coin toss. It could be a member of the Fortunate Ones, but what if it’s a member of Devlin’s Army? That spells BAD news for J Mont, but GREAT news for the WGWF Universe.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Once we get through this five minutes, then every two minutes a new member of each team will enter War Games, from there when all team members are in the ring it’s pinfall or submission.
Devlin picks J Mont up and drives him face-first into the cage where he begins grading the face of J Mont across the mesh of the steel! The crowd is on fire for Knight as J Mont is opened up across the forehead. Knight brings Mont off the Cage and takes him over to the mat with a T-Bone Suplex! Knight gets back up to his feet and immediately begins stomping away at the body of J Mont. Devlin reaches down picking J Mont up only to have J Mont counter with a low blow! The crowd immediately begins to boo loudly toward the ring. J Mont wipes the blood away from his forehead as he takes a moment to gather himself before getting back to a vertical base. J Mont makes his way to a neutral corner where he starts to expose the steel cables by removing the top turnbuckle padding. J Mont turns his attention back around to Knight who begins to stir and push himself up off the mat. J Mont explodes toward Knight and looks to deliver a punt kick to the skull! Knight throws his head out of the way at the final second saving himself.J Mont spins around and it’s Knight who explodes taking J Mont’s head off with a vicious Lariat sending J Mont back down to the mat. Knight takes another mount position on J Mont where he begins to hammer down with a series of right hands further opening the wound on J Mont’s forehead!
FLASH ROTTEN: J Mont can’t keep the advantage.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Well, probably because it’s not a show segment.
The countdown clock appears on the bottom right hand portion of the screen as well as the WGWF Tron ticking down from ten to zero while Devlin continues hammering down with right hands to J Mont.
FLASH ROTTEN: We are about to find out who is going to have the advantage!
The clock ticks to zero.
The crowd in CCPE Arena erupts with boos as the WGWF X-Division Champion AMBER MANSELY emerged out to the top of the ramp
DERRICK DIAMOND: It’s MANSLEY!
Devlin gets up off Mont and steps through the ropes entering ring one as Amber reaches ringside. Mansely makes her way into the Cage and into the ring where Devlin meets her with a series of right hands! Mansley fires back with rights of her own! Devlin blocks a right hand and laces Mansley across the chest with several knife-edge chops backing her across the ring. J Mont enters the screen blasting Devlin from behind! Mont snatches Devlin by the arms leaving him wide open for Mansley who begins gouging Knight in the eyes before opening up with right and lefts to the chin of Knight.
FLASH ROTTEN: It didn’t take long for the numbers game to play a factor. Mont has Devlin by the arms and Amber Mansley is taking full advantage.
DERRICK DIAMOND: It’s the MO of The Fortunate Ones.
Mansley takes Devlin and holds him by the arms for J Mont who flips Devlin off and starts biting him across the forehead! The crowd roars with loud boos as the double team continues. Mont lays in several European Uppercuts before he and Mansley send Knight violently into the side of the Cage! Knight bounces off the steel and into a Superkick by Mansley that drops Knight where he stands.
FLASH ROTTEN: Thankfully for Devlin it's a two-minute interval versus a five-minute exchange.
J Mont drops down to the mat where he begins choking away at Knight while Mansley stomps away at his ribs and stomach. The Las Vegas crowd boos intently as this assault continues. J Mont releases the choke and as he does Mansley drops down to the mat and picks up with a choke of her own on Knight!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Even with two minutes, less than, Mansley and Mont are doing a serious number on Devlin Knight!
Mansley breaks her choke and gets back to her feet. Mont picks Devlin up and drives him back into a neutral corner before laying in a series of shoulder blocks to the midsection. Mont shoots Devlin toward Mansley who lands a spinning reverse elbow dropping Knight like a bad habit. Mansley and Mont taunt the crowd inside CCPE Arena with middle fingers as they stand over a downed Devlin Knight.
FLASH ROTTEN: Mansley and Mont would rather taunt than keep their feet on the gas. This could turn costly.
Mansley picks Knight up and tosses him through the ropes to the aprons of each ring. Amber steps through the ropes and picks Knight up where she chokes him across the top rope of the second ring for several seconds before she sends him through the ropes and into ring number two. J Mont walks over and steps through the ropes joining Mansely as they share a glance at each other and nod their heads before both enter ring number two. Devlin gets to both knees calling for them to bring their worst. Mansley comes forward with a right hand rocking Devlin. Mont follows up with a mafia kick to the face sending Devlin falling backward to the mat.
The countdown clock appears on the screen and tron.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Knight has weathered the storm of The Fortunate Ones. He’s in desperate need of some help.
The crowd counts down as the clock ticks down to zero.
The crowd roars as the tron for Maxwell Mason Stone hits the WGWF Tron.
FLASH ROTTEN: STONE!
The ovation is massive inside CCPE Arena upon Stone stepping out in front of the crowd. Maxwell breaks out into a sprint toward the ring! Mont and Masely get some last-minute shots on Knight as Stone reaches ringside and makes his way inside the Cage and into ring one. Mont is the first inside ring one where he’s met with a double leg takedown and MMS hammers down with right hands! Stone pops back up to his feet catching Mansley by blocking her right hand attempt! Stone drives Mansley back into a set of buckles. Stone drives in a series of reverse elbows to Mansley and follows up by bringing Mansley out of the corner with a Belly to Belly Suplex!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Stone has isolated Mansley and Myst! If he can keep this up he will be in good shape as Devlin gains some much-needed rest.
Stone gets back to his feet where he turns his attention back toward J Mont. Stone makes his way to J Mont and picks him up off the mat. Stone looks for a scoop slam but Mont slides down the back of Stone and chop blocks the left knee! Stone drops to one knee and from out of nowhere Mansley strikes with a running knee strike sending Stone down to the mat. J Mont and Mansley begin laying the boots to Stone! The crowd begins to come alive as Devlin Knight can be seen entering ring one where he blasts J Mont from behind! Devlin takes a back waist lock and snaps off a German Suplex! Knight finds his way back to his feet where he ducks under a Mansley lariat, Amber spins around and eats a boot to the midsection doubling over the X Division Champion. Devlin takes a front face lock and is joined by MMS who takes the otherside of Mansley in a front face lock where Devlin and MMS land a double suplex to Mansley!
Devlin and Stone get to their feet to a huge roar from the crowd.
FLASH ROTTEN: Knight and Stone are standing tall when the smoke clears and the dust settles! Mont and Mansley are in some serious trouble.
Devlin and Stone turn attention toward J Mont who is beginning to get back to a vertical base. Stone and Knight double clothesline Mont over the top rope and onto the ring aprons. Devlin steps through the ropes and snatches up J Mont where he positions him for a Pilediver while Stone climbs up to the top rope from inside the ring where they look for a Spike Piledriver on the aprons but Mansley shakes the ropes causing Stone to lose his balance and crotch himself on the top rope and gives J Mont the opportunity to kick his legs and eventually counter the pile driver attempt with a back body drop to Knight on the aprons of the ring.
DERRICK DIAMOND: We are about to find out the next entrant for The Fortunate Ones, and the numbers game will come back into the equation.
The countdown clock begins to tick away from ten down to zero.
FLASH ROTTEN: Whose next for Team Fortunate One’s?!?!
The clock ticks down to zero.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Uh oh.
The boos ring out with Jenny Myst skipping out to the top of the ramp with a smile on her face. That smile shifts to a sinister glare as she locks eyes on the War Games Cages. Myst starts to make her way toward the ring.
FLASH ROTTEN: It’s Jenny Myst! Look out!
Myst reaches ringside where she tosses the ring apron back and pulls out a steel folding chair. Myst slides the chair in the ring and goes back under the ring where she grabs another chair and slides it into the ring before Myst enters the Cage. Mansley grabs one of the folding chairs and whacks Stone across the back causing him to fall from the crotched position down onto the ring aprons. J Mont kicks at Stone causing Max to roll under the ropes into ring two. Mansley hands J Mont the chair and he enters the ring two.
DERRICK DIAMOND: This is going to go from bad to worse if you Devlin Knight and Max Stone.
Devlin rolls into ring one where Myst reaches down picking him up off the mat. Myst throws Knight into a corner where Mansley joins Myst in a double team of kicks and punches on Devlin who has nowhere to go. J Mont has the chair in hand in ring two where he begins to unload with chair shots repeatedly across the back of Stone! The boos are unreal from the 15,000-strong inside CCPE Arena. In ring one Mansley shoots Devlin across the ring with an Irish Whip toward Myst who lands a Thess Press! Myst unloads with rights and lefts to Knight as we see Mansley grab the second steel chair. In ring two J Mont allows Max to start working his way to his feet. Mont sizes up Stone with the chair in hand and when Max gets to his feet and turns around toward J Mont we see Mont swing the chair at MMS. Stone ducks out of the way causing Mont to hit the top rope with the chair which sends the chair back into his face! Mont drops the chair allowing Stone to pick it up and jab him in the gut with it causing Mont to double over for Stone to crack him violently across the back dropping J Mont to the mat.
FLASH ROTTEN: All hell has broken loose inside War Games and we are just getting started!
Myst picks Devlin up and shoot him toward Mansley who cracks him over the dome with a vile chairshot that opens up Devlin! Mansely turns to see MMS wearing out J Mont with the other steel chair and both Myst and Mansley both make their way into the other ring and it’s Mansley who blasts MMS across the back with chair shot stopping him in his tacks. The countdown clock appears on the screen and starts ticking down from 10. Myst and Mansley put the boots to MMS. The clock ticks down to zero.
CCPE Arena explodes with a thunderous ovation as the Beast walks out through the curtain and storms toward the rings.
DERRICK DIAMOND: JOHN CABLE IS ON HIS WAY TO WAR GAMES!
Mansley and Myst have helped up J Mont as they continue to work over MMS with a triple team. Cable reaches the entrance of the Cage and enters the ring. John starts to storm across t he ring before putting on the brakes and helps a bloody Devlin get back to his feet. Cable and Knight reach the second ring where Myst charges toward Cable and eats a big boot to the face while Mansley swings with a chair shot, Devlin ducks the shot. Mansley spins around eating a boot to the midsection followed by a Code Breaker from Knight that sends Mansley falling through the ropes to the ring aprons of both rings. The crowd goes ballistic as we see Cable locking eyes with J Mont.
FLASH ROTTEN: I don’t think I want to be in J Mont’s boots right about now.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I wouldn’t want to be in his boots at all.
FLASH ROTTEN: Touche’.
Cable points at J Mont bringing the crowd to get louder. J Mont tries to beg off from Cable as he backs himself up into a neutral corner. Cable shakes his head and charges in with a lariat that drives Mont back into the buckles. Mont staggers out from the corner and into a Black Hole Slam by Cable! John starts hammering down with piston like right hands to the forehead of Mont until Myst comes up from behind and jumps on Cable’s back attempting to choke out Cable.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I don’t know if this is going to end well for Jenny.
Devlin steps out to the ring apron where he reaches down to snatch Mansely up but ends up being low blowed by Mansley. In the ring Cable stands up with Jenny on his back, Mansley rolls into the ring where she runs up from behind with a chop block to the left knee dropping Cable to one knee and allowing Myst to fully lock in a sleeper. Mansley starts helping J Mont get back up but in the process Stone gets back to his feet where he comes up behind Myst and clobbers her across the back breaking the hold. Stone latches onto a back waist lock and snaps off a release German Suplex! The Intercontinental Champion helps Cable to his feet while we see Devlin roll into the ring and pull himself back up to his feet. Mansley and J Mont turn around to see Knight, Stone, and Cable! Team Knight rushes Mansley and J Mont to a huge roar from CCPE Arena. Stone and Cable clobber J Mont while Knight drives Masley face first off the Cage before raking Mansley’s face across the mesh of the steel. Cable and Stone collectively send J Mont crashing off the side of the Cage!
FLASH ROTTEN: Team Devlin must stay ahead of the numbers game and right now that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Mansley has been busted wide open at the hands of Knight who turns his attention toward Jenny Myst and as he begins to pick her up Myst throws some powder in the eyes of Knight! Myst gets back to her feet and sends Devlin crashing into Cable! Cable turns around to see a blinded Knight only to have Myst land a dropkick to the back of Knight and send Knight smacking into Cable a second time! MMS spins around and looks for a Lariat, Myst ducks and when MMS spins around Myst swings with a right hand, MMS blocks and counters by driving a knee across the midsection before planting Myst with a violent Powerbomb which stacks Jenny’s shoulders to the mat.
The countdown clock appears on the screen and starts counting down from ten.
DERRICK DIAMOND: It’s either Chris Chaos or Clyde Newton.
The clock ticks down to zero.
FLASH ROTTEN: It’s CHAOS!
Chris Chaos splints down to the ring where he tosses the ring apron back and pulls out a trash can filled with various weapons. Chaos brings the can into the ring and empties the contents before selecting a kendo stick. MMS comes over into the other ring in an attempt to cut off Chaos but eats a kendo stick to the midsection followed by a cracking blow across the back. Chaos uses the Kendo Stick to deliver a Side Russian Leg Sweep to Stone. The crowd roars with boos. Chaos pops back up to his feet and heads over into the other ring with the Kendo Stick in hand. Chris sizes up Devlin and swings with a shot! Knight ducks the swing and catches Chaos with a sling blade upon turning around. J Mont and Mansley have gotten back to their feet and Mont immediately picks Cable up and sends him crashing into the side of the cage while Mansley blasts Knight from behind! Myst and Chaos are shown getting back to their feet where they jump in. Chaos and Mont repeatedly drive Cable into the cage while Myst and Mansley start working over a downed Devlin Knight!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Team Mont are a united front thus far and are utilizing the numbers game like they’ve done since they’ve been a thing.
FLASH ROTTEN: Can Team Knight weather the storm long enough for the numbers game to no longer be that thing that delivers a constant advantage?
Mont and Chaos land a double suplex on Cable and when Mont reaches his feet he’s waffled over the head with the trash can by Stone! Max blasts Chaos over the skull with a shot that sends him back into the ropes! Mansley spins around hearing the commotion and is blasted with a shot from Stone and finally Myst spins around to the same fate! Stone spins around and Chaos explodes off the ropes with a spear into the trash can driving it into the ribs of Stone! The crowd comes a live as everyone is down!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Everyone is down!
Devlin Knight begins to stir as does John Cable. They begin to get back to their feet while J Mont and Myst start to move and push themselves up off the mat. Cable snatches J Mont and hoists him up with a Military Press before walking toward the ropes of both rings and throws Mont over into the other ring with a Military Press Slam! Knight takes Myst up into the air with a Fireman’s Carry and delivers a GTS! Mansley pulls herself up in one corner while Chaos does the same in the opposite corner. Cable charges towards Chaos with a lariat back into the buckles while Knight charges toward Mansley with a lariat of his own. Cable brings Chaos out from the corner and Knight brings out Mansley where Knight and Cable smash their heads together!
FLASH ROTTEN: COCONUTS!
The countdown clock appears and is ticking down from ten to zero.
The crowd pops huge as Lexi Gold’s Tron plays but there isn’t Lexi. Devlin and Cable help Max Stone up and look toward the top of the ramp to find no Lexi.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Where is Lexi?
FLASH ROTTEN: Did she miss her cue?
Cameras are dispatched to the back where we find Lexi Gold in an unconscious state surrounded by trainers and EMTs.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Someone has attacked Lexi! She’s down and out! TFO has gotten to Lexi and without her it puts the numbers in favor of TFO, DAMNIT!
FLASH ROTTEN: I call shenanigans on this as well. This reeks TFO, and you’re right about the numbers being firmly in Team Mont’s favor because nobody is going to step into this war willingly.
J Mont gets to his feet in the isolated ring with a smirk on his bloody face as he looks over into the other ring and flips off Cable, Max, and Devlin…
Suddenly CCEP Arena EXPLODES as J Mont’s eyes get VERY BIG upon the sweet sounds of Madonna hitting the speakers!
DERRICK DIAMOND: IT CAN’T BE! SING IT LOUD! SING IT PROUD! IT’SSSSSSSSS GRRRRRAAAADDDDDDOOOOOOOO!!!!
The roof comes off the area as Edward Grado emerges out to the top of the ramp with his head bandaged, his ribs taped, and fanny pack around his waist!
FLASH ROTTEN: This is the LAST thing I expected to see!
Devlin, Max, and John are all shocked as they watch Edward reach ringside and stomp up the steps and enter the ring housing J Mont!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Grado DOES have a win over J Mont! Let’s not forget that!
J Mont begins mouthing off toward Grado and swings with a wild right hand. Edward ducks and peppers J Mont with a series of left handed jabs followed by a Bionic Elbow that drops J Mont where he stands! Grado spins around shooting a thumbs up toward Knight, Stone, and Cable as the crowd chants “HOLY SHIT!” in unison.
FLASH ROTTEN: This is unreal! The WGWF Television Champion has put himself in the void filled by the attacked Lexi Gold, and in the process has thwarted the plan of J Mont!
Cable spins around and walks into a mafia kick by Chaos! Mansley spins Stone around where they trade forearms. Knight blocks a twist of fate attempt by Myst and shoves her into the ropes, Myst bounces off the ropes and slides between the legs of Knight. Knight spins around and into a spinning heel kick by Chaos which takes him down. Grado unzips his fanny pack and pulls out a hand held stun gun! Grado makes his way over into the other ring and hits Chaos with the Stun Gun! Grado goes after Mansley next who flees into the other ring followed by Myst!
DERRICK DIAMOND: They got the hell outta dodge!
Grado puts the stun gun back in his fanny pack and then pulls out a TOOTHBRUSH! Grado turns his attention toward Cable and gives him a wink. Cable simply shakes his head. Chaos starts working his way back to his feet where Cable blasts him with a right hand spinning Chris around into a right hand from Stone, Chaos spins around into Knight who lands a stiff knife-edge chop that spins Chaos toward Grado who comes forward cramming the toothbrush into the mouth of Chaos followed by some sweet shin music and ends with a double arm DDT! The countdown clock appears on the screen and ticks down from ten. Chaos rolls toward the ropes. Mansley, Myst, and Mont regroup in ring one as the clock ticks down to zero.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Former X-Division Champion, and recently returning Clyde Newton, OG member of TFO is set to round out the last entrant for Team J Mont.
Newton doesn’t come from the entrance ramp, he jumps the ring barrier at ringside and is seen handing Chaos a pair of brass knuckles before reaching under the ring and pulling out a FIRE EXTINGUISHER! Newton comes around the ring with the extinguisher the the cage entrance where he enters the Cage and sprays the extinguisher- yet when he does John suddenly go ballistic as he lays out Grado with a Chokeslam! Devlin tries to calm John down but eats a Waking Nightmare! Stone is laid out with a Chokeslam! Cable heads into the other ring like a maniac as he decks Newton with a boot, drills Mansley with an Angle Slam, and Myst catches a Last Ride Powerbomb!
J Mont decks Cable who absorbs it and plants Mont with a Waking Nightmare!
And then it’s Newton who tastes one as well before Cable leaves the Cage and slams the door shut!
FLASH ROTTEN: Cable is done! TFO exploited Cable’s fear of extinguishers AND it worked!
DERRICK DIAMOND: Cable snapped and left everyone laying in his wake!
The crowd boos Cable as he makes his way back up the ramp! In the other ring Chris Chaos is getting back to his feet with the Brass Knuckles slipped over the knuckles of his right hand. Grado pushes himself up to one knee before being blasted in the jaw with the brass knuck covered fist of Chaos.
FLASH ROTTEN: Where the hell is J Mont going?
J Mont is seen walking toward the cage door and kicking it open. J Mont makes his way down to the floor and tosses the ring apron up where he pulls out a large black sack. J Mont re-enters the cage and into the ring. Over in the other ring Chaos blasts Stone and then Devlin. J Mont helps Mansley, Newton, and Myst back to their feet before opening the black sack and emptying the contents of four sets of handcuffs.
DERRICK DIAMOND: HANDCUFFS! J MONT HAS HANDCUFFS!
Mansley and Myst each grab a pair of cuffs and head over into the other ring where Chaos picks Devlin up and allows Mansley to cuff him to the cage with two pairs of the handcuffs. Newton and Myst pull up Stone and cuff him to the Cage as well which leaves Grado who has been busted open as his white bandages are now red. J Mont makes his way over into the other ring as he, Mansley, Myst, Chaos, and Newton admire their handiwork to massive boos from the crowd.
FLASH ROTTEN: TFO has isolated Grado! Knight and Stone have both been cuffed to the Cage and Cable has gone his own way. Team Knight is in some serious trouble.
DERRICK DIAMOND: All of this might be true, but we’ve got ONE more entrant left to come, and he practically wrote the book on WGWF War Games.
Edward slowly starts to stir. Newton and Mansley are talking smack to the cuffed Stone and Knight. Myst kicks Grado in the forehead before ripping off his bandage and exposing the open wound. Chaos picks Grado up off the mat and holds him in place for J Mont to paintbrush slap across the face as the final countdown clock appears on the screen and begins counting down to zero.
CCPE Arena completely comes unglued as all attention inside the ring pivots toward the top of the ramp.
FLASH ROTTEN: Shit just got real!
The ovation grows as Chris Page walked through the curtain wielding a barbed wire wrapped steel chair in his right hand.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Page HAS the equalizer, HE HAS BARBIE with him!
J Mont and Page lock eyes. Chris removes his leather jacket at the top of the ramp and begins to make the walk down to WAR GAMES. J Mont and company talk over some last minute strategy knowing the shit-storm that is brewing and about to land inside War Games. Chris Page reaches the steps and starts to walk up them. The music fades away leaving a “CCP! CCP! CCP!” chant from CCPE Arena. Chris enters the cage and slams the door shut behind him before entering the first ring.
FLASH ROTTEN: It’s NOW submission or surrender!
The crowd is going ballistic as TFO holds down the other ring with Knight and Stone still cuffed to the Cage. J Mont tries to send Mansley over into the other ring with Page and she flat out refuses. Chaos is next and he refuses as well. Chris Page walks toward the ropes and enters the other ring. TFO back off as Page has Barbie on the ready. CCP stands in between TFO and Grado.
DERRICK DIAMOND: Chris Page has seemingly put a halt to everything with her mere presence, but with Knight and Stone cuffed to the cage unless CCP has some cuff keys this is essentially a five on two situation that is not going to end well.
Page motions for J Mont to make a move. Edward, bleeding heavily from his forehead, starts to get back to his feet to join CCP that garners a massive ovation. Chris Page acknowledges Grado with a fist bump. TFO begin to circle Page and Grado causing Page and Grado to go back to back.
FLASH ROTTEN: It’s like they’re sharks who smell blood in the water.
Suddenly Page turns and spins Edward around before blasting him in the face with the Barbed Wire Wrapped Steel chair sending CCPE Arena in a state of shock! Devlin Knight and Max Stone are forced to look on as Grado crumbles to the mat. Chris Page looks over at J Mont and the two start to laugh before hugging it out!
DERRICK DIAMOND: WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! NO!
FLASH ROTTEN: CHRIS PAGE AND J MONT ARE HUGGING!
Amber Mansley, Clyde Newton, Jenny Myst, and Chris Chaos can’t believe what they’re witnessing! Page and Mont release their hug. J Mont turns toward Grado and locks in a Sharp Shooter! Page turns toward the referee out on the floor.
CHRIS PAGE: I SURRENDER!
The referee is forced to call for the bell.

Match Time: 32:34
¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬ - ¬
Page raises J Mont’s arm in the air as CCPE Arena are still stunned with the shocking turn of events. J Mont raises the arms of his team who still haven’t taken in what’s happened. Chris Page walks over to the handcuffed Knight and Stone.
CHRIS PAGE: How do you think TFO have been able to do any and everything they’ve wanted? Because I’ve allowed it! And we are just getting started!
The crowd is throwing trash towards the ring, most of it hitting the cage. The CCPE Arena has never been more disturbed than it is right now.
DERRICK DIAMOND: I… I just don’t know what to say.
FLASH ROTTEN: I do. You son of a bitch, Chris Page…
PATRICK MATHEWS: This is absolutely shocking. I don’t think anyone here is happy at the moment…
CJJ: Yes! Yes! YEEEESSSSS!!!
PATRICK MATHEWS: … Except my partner. Well, ladies and gentlemen, the world of the WGWF has just been turned upside-down. We can’t tell you what’s to come… but we will go on. Good night…
The crowd is still furious at what’s happened, as Chris Page, J Mont, and the rest of his team stand as one, rejoicing in the victory here in Las Vegas. We fade out.
